In response to the dramatic shakeup in international galactic markets, one of the members of the wounded hand wrote this report to the 13th council. This internal report has been read by all the council members and other high ranking members of the secret government in preparation for the coming turmoil.
------------------------
The leaked Jobadiea Report has been both a blessing and a curse to us. The warnings of galactic war and massive conflict shook our military high command to its core. With our nation comparatively weak and alone the military has received great pressure from the public to reinforce itself for the security of our people. This has forced a doctrinal shift as the current focus on strict requirements and long training times are not conducive to rapid reinforcement of the armed forces. Unwilling to completely reorganize the entire command and training structure the military decided to add an extra branch to the armed forces.
This new branch will be entirely separate from the current command structure. Seeing how Planetary Defence Command is entirely focused on garrisoning worlds, the Consulate Void Marines lack the heavy equipment to engage in extended warfare with an equal opponent and Consulate Special Operations is only meant for high intensity, high-risk missions. High command has therefore created the new Planetary Assault Force. A dedicated combination of ground assets and air units making use of heavy equipment such as tanks and heavy artillery. With help of the propaganda and social engineering branch of the Wounded Hand, we were able to create positive public opinion towards this new armed force.
It is to be noted that the creation of such a large force is going to take time. Stockpiles of outdated weapons will be opened up to provide a stopgap before we can set up production lines for equipment, weapons and vehicles. This force will function more like a standard army force like those of our pre-nuclear history. Vehicles will have to be heavily refitted to fit modern standards and we will have to import foreign equipment to fill demand until we have our own production.
Since the price of ancerious fuel has hit rock bottom we have begun to buy it en masse to stockpile it before international trade collapses and prices skyrocket again. This stockpile will be used purely for our armed forces and when the price increases again will be sold to fund our military expansion. This is all for the sake of national security and to make sure we have the option to stay independent in the coming conflict. No one feels very strongly to any side in our nation and we would prefer it if war did not come to our systems.
We have been able to use the Jobadiea Report as a base for propaganda centred around preparing ourselves against the coming war. Images of a post-nuclear Astril have been used to convince people in favour of neutrality to avoid such a fate befalling us again. Secondly, we make use of imagery depicting the Consulate as alone in a sea of monsters to encourage thought towards a strong independent state. The full report has also been published in newspapers to spread awareness of it.
We hope to keep ourselves low profile and stay out of any direct fighting during this time, but as the Zetyan border incident has shown we may have to fight against aggressors no matter what we do.
As for the possibility of rising unemployment the civilian administration has high hopes that the social welfare system will hold firm and ensure that the nation stays stable and compliant during the crisis. Plans for possible public works projects to get the unemployed working are already on the drawing board.
