Action Redacted
[PM will be send once battle results are available]
Naval Expansion Program
Driven by nationalistic fervors following the unexpected and cowardly attack* of Lyrian forces against the Royal marine, a massive naval expansion program is started, with the intention of obliterating the Lyrian navy and securing the seas for our vessels. In addition, recognizing the threat of the Lyrian airship menace, all of our newly-build vessels will be fitted with our 30 mm auto-cannon.
Construction of the following is expected: (In order of priority, obviously)
- At least 1 Dreadnought (10 x 300 mm Cannon battery, 30 x 80 mm cannon, 24*30 mm autocannons)**
- 10-30 Submarine (80mm Cannon, 6*Torpedo Tube, 2*30 mm autocannon)
- 5 Heavy Predator Destroyers (6*80 mm Cannon, 4*Torpedo Tube, 6* 30 mm Autocannon)
- 5 Light Predator Destroyers (2*80 mm Cannon, 12* 30 mm Autocannon)
The Haber Process
Shortage of Ammonia has long been a problem for the production of Industrial fertilizer, and many other substances. Now, a German scientist has invented a much more efficient process, and fascinated by the possibilities of this discovery, the King has requested the development of such an Industry at home. The conditions of the Lower Countries are ideal for the production of the gas here, due to the abundance of electrical and other required infrastructure.
The process itself is expected to aid greatly in the production of food, (IRL, this technology eventually quadrupled it) but also has other interesting properties, such as the ability to produce ammonia based fuels, or aid in the production of potent explosives through the Ostwald process.
((Actions might be changed depending on the results of the battle, which have yet to be posted))
*They intercepted the fleet I send to intercept theirs, so they shot first.
** It's a dreadnought, after all.
