The head of Logistics stepped forward:
''Thank you, Commander. We have helped the Construction and engineering sector with their tasks, while we have also finished ours. Currently, we are continuing to support other sectors. We do request the sector head of finance to purchase more 1/2 ton trucks for transportation. Lastly, we have together with the engineering head and construction head started the massive railway plan, which is designed for Phase 2 to attract more voters. The armoured trains will be provided by the engineering head, while I and the head of construction will start the building of the railways. That is all I have to report!''
''Good work, you are one of the key sector heads, remember that,'' Rudolf replied. 'I must not let the power of logistics shoot to the sectors head if abuse of power is found I will replace him.' I thought to myself. Rudolf continued: ''Now if the head of Education/Drill and the head of Healthcare please step forward, as you stated that you two work together on the Phase.''
The 2 sector heads step forward, and the head of Healthcare too the word:
''Yes sir, we have launched a massive re-education program for all our members, we have put the basic skills down on paper that they need. Before each sector did their respective tasks, which will continue, but there are skill sets that each and every single member must be able to do. The skills we taught all old members and will teach all new members are;
-Firefighting,
-Cleaning,
-Cooking,
-Close combat fighting,
-1st aid,
-a new sign language separate from the Skulls,
-Blind navigation using sound,
-maintenance skills,
-lastly, my fellow drill instructor taught them through 'special' means, to never panic.
That is all, we have achieved and all we have to report.''
''Magnificent progress, these skills will help take loads of work off our respective sector heads, you have done us a great service,'' Rudolf said some basic pleasantries while the 2 were heading back to their respective seats. Before Rudolf continued:''Now if the head of the Engineering sector please step forward''
The head of Engineering stepped forward:
''Marshall, Commander, we have achieved marvellous goals, that we thought could only be completed in 3 years, but in less than 1 years we have completed a lot of projects you gave us! We have successfully repaired the Panther V Ausf. X tank as requested, It took us a lot of time to understand the armour used and armour structure, but by analysing the Tank I am 99% sure we replicate basic versions of the armour. Secondly, we have finished the Construction Hanger and Normal Hangars for the battle Zeppelins, the Normal Hangers have been integrated into the mountainside, but the defences are a bit lacking, only 2 tunnels will connect the hangars to the Motherbase. Thirdly we have started helping Commander Rudolf with the R&D on new weaponry, we expect new designs to be ready before Phase 4! Lastly we have started together with the construction company to massively expand Blatten Village, all houses will be renovated, with the Villagers conceit of course, Anti-Air towers will be build, Pillboxes, artillery positions, all will be build without the weaponry, to avoid arousing to much suspicion, also the Pillboxes will be done last, as they are very obvious on what they are for. That is the report, sir!''
''Good, we are progressing with the strengthening plan for the Village as well, which was planned for Phase 3, well done Head of Engineering.'' Rudolf complemented before writing down what has been said briefly. ''If the Head Finance would please step forward and report,'' Rudolf ordered.
Hoffman stood up and walked forward:
''Marshall, Commander, Sector Heads, I have good news and Bad news, we will start with the good news first. The good news is is that we were able to gather many beginning businessmen in Switzerland by our side through subsidising and buying them. Through this, we have already taken over 22.43% of the Market. I calculate that if our foreign assets also enter Switzerland we will quickly take over 67.35% of the Market. We were also able to massively industrialise the country even further through the many Donations and our own companies building new roads and factories. For that we currently have used over 1 Billion RM in our reserves, converted to Swiss franc that will be 808 Million. Making our current Money reserves come down to 7 Billion. This is where the bad news comes in gentlemen, we first calculated 2 Battle Zeppelins, coming down to a total cost of 4 billion RM, which is still in our means, but our order has increased to 4 battle Zeppelins, causing us to need 8 Billion RM to pay them. Motherbase also has increased in Size, causing the original price being 5.5 Billion RM after Rudolf's renegotiation to increased to 7 Billion RM! While we only paid the construction company 6 Billion RM. This has caused us, Gentlemen, to be short on 2 BILLION REICHSMARK! Even if I pull all our liquid assets and normal assets together I might only bring together 500 Million RM, All money Higher than Millions was given to us by the Marshall, and we can't expect him to constantly whip out a few Billion. Also, inflation has started to become an Issue in the European market as we massively purchased, steel, Titanium, Aluminium, concrete, etc. I fear that we have to cancel a Battle Zeppelin in order to pay for everything. SIR! That is all I have to report.''
''It seems that we never took money into consideration since almost no company had even 1 billion to use, Thank you Head of Finance, we are now aware of our predicament,'' Rudolf replied to the report. ''We will debate our future actions after all reports are given. Now if the head of Electricity/Water and the head of Storage please step forward, as you two have also reported working together on the projects handed to you for phase 1.''
The 2 Sector heads stepped forwards, with the head of Storage started:
''Yes, we have been working together on the tasks, as requested the massive water storage tanks have been build already into the mountainside, together with massive oil storage tanks, allowing us to achieve the required storage to meet the consumption of the base. We have also started to get electricity and water to every single village high up in the mountains, this will allow our soldiers in the Alps a place to rest with the necessary Utilities to access. Also together with the head of construction and head of engineering, we have completed all outposts and supply bases in Switzerland, Having the necessary supplies, equipment, and safety for our soldiers to re-equip at them. That is all we have to report Marshall, Commander.''
''I thank you all sector heads, we have achieved what we aimed for, which is a blessing. Now we have to start giving plans, orders and debate on how to proceed with phase 2 gentlemen.'' Rudolf said. 'Nock Nock.' Someone knocked on the door during the meeting, ''What is it, if it is not urgent please leave!'' Rudolf said. ''Commander, I have a message for the head of intelligence it is coded Red and came from Zurich.'' The messenger on the other side said. '' the head of Intelligence go check it out we will wait here.'' I ordered him. ''Yes Marshall!'' He replied.
With that said he left the meeting room to the comms station. 'it seems our friends cannot wait to also infiltrate smaller Nations now, Luckily they are only beginning to set up, means we can easily root them up.' I thought to myself, 'I expected them earlier, but who knows their thoughts.'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
