Asgeirria Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) For the past two and a half centuries, Asgeirria had been in an arms race with the coalition islands. Following the war coming to a close, the militarily-focused industries and government were faced with a crisis of action; to expand or not to expand. A huge amount of the population was employed by military factories, military facilities, and military services, to include the government officials whose job it was to oversee the quality of production, condition of workers, and distribution of supplies and equipment. Behind closed doors, Regis Celestia and High Command decided it would deal a crippling blow to the economy to cease the rapid expansion. Besides, so much had already been paid for, why shut down that production? Instead, plans were drawn up for pushing back into their former territories. It was calculated that there was approximately a 70.2% chance of foreign intervention in offensive scenarios; such contingencies were projected to result in unacceptable mission degradation. Naval preeminence, airspace denial, and counter-strategic primacy were the three highest priorities. For the naval aspect, the orders of work were: Modernization of aging vessels Upscaling production of Line vessels Reorganizing fleets and ship classification Designing and implementing bleeding edge systems and technologies Decreasing reliance on aircraft for both C2 and long-range strike capabilities For airspace denial, the orders of work were: Modernization of aging airframes Upscaling production of Line aircraft Reorganizing the air fleet Designing and implementing leading edge systems and technologies Reducing cost of Line aircraft Decreasing reliance on aircraft for C2, aerial defense, and target interception Stockpiling Line aircraft and missiles for the eventual degradation of the military industrial base in a prolonged strategic war Implementation of extensive detection, anti-aircraft, and point defense systems in operationally and strategically critical areas For Counter-strategic primacy, the orders of work were: Fortification and expansion of existing networking and C2 assets, including satellite presence Hardening critical infrastructure against strategic and covert attacks Hardening critical coastlines and positions around major hubs of transportation and logistics on the mainland Preparing long-range naval engagement positions to support naval mining Improving C2 and satellite surveillance capabilities Modernization of existing defenses While the groundwork had been laid for this top secret project had been laid with the intention of the defeat of the coalition in the late 40s, with the construction of coastal defenses, fortification command bunkers, and the underground network stemming out from the New City, but had long laid dormant due to budgeting issues. Now, with an increasing tendency for militarism and the opportunity for the expansion and enrichment of Asgeirria, meaningful progress could be made.
