I think we all joined together in an alliance against URIST, and then URIST collapsed. Things are amicable in various places - Morgan has a research treaty with Ghostfang and a non-interference/non-aggression pact with the Evil Empire.
Phantom: None of those interest me, sadly. Not least because inviting another country onto Africa would probably invalidate my peace treaty with the Evil Empire.
Archangel: I have no intentions of expanding further into Africa and you could do with one less border to worry about. How do you feel about a peace treaty or NAP?
Alright, since we have Computer-Assisted Turrets, I'm going to assume we also have Computer Science I (a pre-requisite), as must the Ghostfangs. This is semi-important, as I'm aiming to use it as the pre-req for a new

Computerised Artillery Platforms, essentially the ditto-upgrade to APs that CATs were to MTs. Enjoy the research boon, though you might want to put even more cash into it if you want it this turn.

Robotics Research
Although Morgan Industries remains competitive with the world market in general computing technology, we are behind the times on even basic robotics. Many Morgan factories still depend heavily on manual or simple machine labour for production, a potential waste of resources where repetitive or high-finesse jobs are required. Much of the budget for this project is aimed at simply reverse-engineering robotics and automation technology already prevalent in the West, even on the level of research laboratories or automobile manufacturing plants. Only once we have a well-developed robotics base can we engage in serious automated production.

Financial Software Initiative
As much as we profess to our clients that we remain a globally-competitive financial powerhouse, much of this propaganda is undermined by our frankly outdated financial and economic tools. By replacing our existing banking and investment software and servers with new state-of-the-art equipment, we should be able to construct centralised financial institutions able to rival those of the rest of the world such as major banks or stock markets.

Report: Computerised Artillery Platforms
Our friends in Thailand have made great strides with the anti-vehicle artillery platform designs in the past months. Though less fine-tuning is required to hit targets in short to medium range than for anti-infantry turrets, artillery platforms could still benefit from computer-assisted targeting and rangefinding over long distances. When the modern world regularly produces battleships, carriers and tanks that can bomb an enemy long before he can even be detected on radar, artillery defences of similar precision and range are critical to our survival.
