JEDCJT Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 The Holy Roman Empire would receive a message, but not from Europe. Rather, the message came from across the Atlantic Ocean, from the loveable huggable nation that is New England. TO: Holy Roman EmpireGreetings, We have watched your recent achievements with interest and amazement, especially your development of the Hindenburg-class battleships. To put it simply, we were wondering if we could work with you to develop the Hindenburg-class battleship for the New Englander Navy? Please let us know if you are interested in such endeavors or not. Thank you for your patience and consideration. With regards, Lyndon Baines Johnson, President of New England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this opportunity. With regards, Lyndon Johnson, President of New England CLASSIFIED Indeed, everything was going to be ready. As President Johnson promised, he personally issued an executive order mandating that every necessary resources and labor be utilized to prepare for the HRE engineers. Both New Jersey's state government and the ACNSC were duly notified by the federal government of this upcoming event. Alan Roy, the company's manager, 'mobilized' the company's resources and workers to do what Boston ordered them to do so. Similiarly, steel, electronic, and technological factories and industries all over the nation were flooded with orders from the federal government for their products to be brought to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Activity at the ACNSC thus reached frenzied levels as workers, staff workers, and managers scrambled about to get everything ready for when the HRE engineers arrived. Maritime shipping lanes to Atlantic City were diverted, for the time being, to neighboring Ocean City as the shipyard was being prepared for the construction of the massive battleship based off on the Hinderburg-class battleship of the HRE navy. Every resources, equipment, and supplies that arrived at the ANCSC were meticulously catalogued, accounted, and stocked. Some time later, when the HRE engineers arrived at the ANCSC, they would see that everything else had been prepared. The shipyard was clean and organized, and construction of the ship could promptly begin, whenever the engineers deemed it best to do so. When the engineers arrived, Roy personally greeted them at the company's gates with a "Hello, sir! Pleasure to see you, and we look forward to working with you!"

He began to lead the way before he paused and turned around. "Oh yes, before I forget, I would like to introduce you to my assistant managers, executives, and administrators." Roy gestured to a group of people near him. "This is William Glenn, Edward Kullen, Joseph Colby, Jessica Parker, Norville Rogers, and Gabriel Fox." He said as he introduced them, respectively. Glenn, Kullen, Colby, Parker, Rogers, and Fox all smiled and greeted the HRE engineers. "And here's my workers." Roy gestured around him.

"Pleased to meet you all." the chief engineer said, shaking their hands one after another. "I'm really looking forward to working with you all. Now, to the offices, I guess." Some of the HRE engineers nodded, others walking to some workers to get to know them a bit, but ready to leave again once the majority of the group proceeded.

Roy smiled with pride as he led the HRE engineers to the first open door and gestured inside. "Ta-da! This is your new office. More are this way." He pointed down the corridor. The offices were, simply to put it, beautiful, clean, and organized. It had bright walls, a large window, a luxurious desk, a couple of chairs, and a HDTV screen computer. It also had a lamp and a portrait of President John F. Kennedy on a wall. It nearly looked out of place, considering it was in a shipyard, but it was a beautiful office. Roy hoped the HRE engineers would like them. "Hope you will like it." Roy smiled as he clapped his hands together. OOC: It somewhat looks like this.

After each engineer got his office, they would spend the rest of the day testing the equipment, how to use it properly, its capabilities, and so on. Only on the next day would they start talking with each other and NE engineers. Over time, they would try and modify the ship according to NE's capabilities.

The New Englander and HRE engineers would reap the fruits of their work after some weeks of efforts, indeed. The ship lay in the shipyard, gleaming in its glory.

It was somewhat smaller, with slightly smaller main-guns, but more of them. All in all, it was similar to the Hindenburg class, but not just as powerful.

Indeed, the specs of the battleship was duly sent to President Johnson (through secure channels, of course), and a copy was kept by Roy, who placed it in his special safe somewhere in his office (that was highly encrypted, with impossibly long passwords that only Roy knew, and retina and fingerprint scanners). Through the battleship was somewhat smaller and less powerful than their HRE counterparts, it was nevertheless very powerful and could pack a mighty punch. Roy grinned widely as he shook hands with the HRE 'leader' of the engineers. "Thank you! Thank you! We enjoyed working and cooperating together with you." He paused for a moment. "Is there any way we could have the ship's blueprints so we could produce some more of the ship on our own? Just a question, sir." He inquired.

"Once again, thank you. Actually, we cannot thank you enough, heh." He said with gratitude, eyes shining. The information contained inside the suitcase would immensely benefit the New Englander navy and help it to become even more powerful. Later on, the information contained inside the suitcase would be sent to Boston through highly secure channels, to the Department of Defense and particularly the Department of the Navy as well as other appropriate government departments. It was thus decided: New England was going to make railguns, not only to be mounted on naval ships, but also on land. They were to be integrated into the border and coastal fortifications. The massive fortress that was New England was going to get even more massive and mightier, indeed. OOC: So...this thread's over, I presume?
