KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) "We're interested in the MPTH-47 helicopter. What would be the price for one, and what would be the price to construct roughly 350 of them on our own, with a license from you?" The price is 10 Million MP Rupees (roughly 2 million USD IRL) per unit. To produce 350 on your own, we will require 100 million MP Rupees (a good bargain, 1/7 of what it would cost for us to make them), along with half the cost of producing and shipping the new machinery, and your guarantee that the machinery will either be returned to us (we'll store it if you want to use it again) or scrapped.

Lavo Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 *Classified response*"This is, in comparison to the other offers, the most interesting offer we have gotten. Indeed, the reports of Rebel Army having one of the, if not the best airforce in the world seem to be true, with the planes you are offering us. If possible, we'd like to acquire licenses for domestic production, though we'll gladly buy a variety from you to eventually phase out our old planes. Especially the Orca and the Viper are highly interesting for us." ***Classified*** Due to reasons of national security, we apologize, but we cannot give out licenses for production. We would be more then happy to sell them to you though, the variants we fly at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We guarantee that the Marscurian machinery will be returned to their country once the previously mentioned number of helicopters - 350 - has been manufactured. The money has been made ready for the transfer, and will be sent once the ships transporting the machinery have left harbor and are on the way to Singapore." ***Classified***Due to reasons of national security, we apologize, but we cannot give out licenses for production.

We would thus like to replace our entire airforce with your planes, and approximately 80% of our air cavalry with the Orca and Erdogan helicopters. Could we arrange it so that the payments are made over the course of several months or 2-4 years? Replacing an airforce is rather expensive, after all." *End of* *Public announcement* "Ladies and Gentlemen, we thank everyone for their interest. We have made several contracts for the modernisation of our airforce and air cavalry, and thus will likely require no further offers for the time being, though we are still evaluating who exactly will get the final contract. They will be contacted within the next days. Thank you." Edited June 11, 2009 by Lynneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as you can honestly pledge never to use the airbase or the craft stationed at it to strike at any member of the Australasian Coalition, we would be happy to allow you to do this in Promised Land."

We'll pay them the standard Singaporean wages, if you don't mind." Should Promised Land not mind, then the PL-workers would, upon getting the first payment from Singapore, find out that it was quite a bit higher than anywhere else. Singapore was not only incredibly rich for its size, it was also one of the world's most expensive cities, which justified the wages.

IC: The men from Singapore would have no trouble hiring enough workers to reach the maximmum limit. Plus, the small boost to the economy might help turn the recession around. A benefit for all concerned. If they so wished, there were also several construction companies that would be willing to loan their equipment to the project--for a price, of course.

OOC: And I think that wraps up my part in this, unless you want to Rp the construction in a little more detail. OOC: Just a bit more, because of the construction companies... IC: The offers of the construction companies were gladly taken by the overseers of the construction, as there were no private construction firms in Singapore. The prices to build were simply too high, and thus almost 80% of all buildings were owned by the state. Similarly to the wages of the workers, the equipment would be paid for in Singapore prices, noticably higher than Promised Land standards. OOC: That should be it.

Enclosed with this message is the 3-year payment plan. As for the AFB, pick a region and we'd be more then happy to make suggests on where to build it and to start it's construction. As well, we can even lend you RAF engineers/servicemen to aid you with your ongoing maintenance of your aircraft from RA and other national origins. Even though you already have a handful or two of engineers for the next three months to teach you how to maintain, arm, fly, etc. the Viper, Vindicator, Orca, and Erdogan. As for interstellar research, welcome aboard! Our main research and launch facilities are the space elevator (and the whole area) in west Africa, and Caelum Center in Ecuador. In addition, seeing our continuously intertwining military industries and capabilities, our joint space program, plus overall exquisite relations, would Singapore be interested in an MDP with Rebel Army?

Per capita means "per person", after all. So if you have 1 million per person and you have 1 million people, it's only 1. If you have 10,000 people, then it's 100. Et cetera. Simple math, nothing too strange about it. Just depends on the pop you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
