President Jordan Hjuylio stood in front of the House assembled and presented his case. "We are a land locked nation. The profits of sea trade if we expand to the sea would be enormous. Our citizens must pay through the roof for precious metals from countries on other continents. Think of the money we would be saving if we didn't have to buy them Dysanii or Irnotia. Millions. Nay, billions.
"The world is on the brink of war my friends. Without a navy our an air force, Algerianbania will be trampled in crossfire. How will we be able to attack Myoria if they are on Easteros, a whole ocean away. We must get to the sea if we ever hope to have any hope of a suitable defense whatsoever. We must, as our duty to our citizens. We must rally the war pandas, rally the troops, and we must march northeast, in between High Evermore and Irnotia. Once we reach the see we must begin the construction of a navy, and build port towns along the waters edge.
"This is new age. An age of health and profit, and an age when Algerianbania no long has to cower at the feet of other nation, friend and foe alike. To long have we been the small country, never thought of as a realistic military force. That is about to change."
Within 24 hours, the war pandas were geared up and ready to move out. The troop transports were loaded with troops and headed for the boarder.

To: Takasia Canal A.G.
From: President Jordan Hjuylio of Algerianbania
The country of Algerianbania would be pleased if we could receive this gracious offer from master canal builders. I suppose that you know of the area in question. We would request that construction begin immediately, and are willing to provide for any method of payment which you may so desire, as long as it is a reasonable one.
Also, if you are willing to provide assistance in any other fronts, we would be obliged to accept it, especially in the area of air craft to provide for air attacks and reconnaissance on any groups who may with to oppose us.
Thank you.
General Fredrique Suhylino was riding in a jeep on an open field, a convoy of troops behind him. The government had received word that a group of natives in the area, known as the Strip Lands, had banded together and formed some 750,000 people strong, heavily armed and growing everyday. The plan was to lock them into the borders and against the sea, so that they would be trapped and easily dealt with. By splitting up the main force of 1,000,000 into 4 different groups, they would easily conquer the region.
Their routes would be as follows.

One group would head towards Irnotia along the southern border of the Strip Lands. Another will go north along the High Evermore border. In between these two will be two other armies. Once all of the armies have gone as far as their objective states, then they shall head north and meet with one another. This large army would be ready to strip out any last few remaining resistance forces with ease.
-
OOC: you may want to consider the southern coast instead. Someone has already claimed the northern coast in the map area (link (http://forum.taijitu.org/the-map/the-taijitu-map/msg49560/#msg49560)).
-
OOC: Shit. I will start over tomorrow. I need to get some sleep now. Pure weaksauce. I think that I will head towards Dysanii. Its much shorter than going to Irnotia and my country won't look stupid. :P
-
OOC: I will try to build another canal in the north too, once that country is finalized on the map - so we can break the Bustos monopoly, and transform your capital into a busy shipping hub.
-
ooc: just promises :p anyway, like a parasite, the CGV World will invite the Pandaland to build and create the CGV Panda.

How are you going to build the train line to the capital, which lies at the centre of the lake?
-
ooc: either underwater tunnels or surface bridges. Or circular around the lake...it's the panda's choice.
-
OOC: Shit. I will start over tomorrow. I need to get some sleep now. Pure weaksauce. I think that I will head towards Dysanii. Its much shorter than going to Irnotia and my country won't look stupid. :P
Don't get too close. We bite. :whip:
-
OOC: If you look closely isn't that map request actually here?

Furthermore, if Alegerianbania expanded north, far fewer forces would be required than if he had to take the larger area to the south. Just a thought!
-
oops, my mistake... :P
-
ooc: Never mind continue as planned. ty Stell. Deflos and Tak, If I do somehow am able to reach coast-to-coast, I would like the canal to be placed in the northern end, and the railroad to start from the edge of the lake to the western coast. Unfortunately I do not think that that will happen so we can just stick with the canal for now. I will contact you if I will to go coast-to-coast Defl. Tak, how much will this cost? Or is it complementary?
Lieutenant Kwajalyuk rode at the vanguard of the convoy. He had been assigned to the northern most army. They group was approaching a large town, which seemed heavily fortified. Whoever was supplying the resistance groups was supplying them well. There were snipers on the walls and what seemed like men with rocket launchers as well.
Behind him were about 200,000 infantry, 10 artillery units and 5 PFS. The lieutenant called a halt and laid out the assault plan to his other ranking officers. They would use the artillery to bash down the wall, and use the snipers to take out the rocket launchers. Then the PFS would move in and remove as many snipers and other infantry that remained on the outskirts of the city. Then the PFS would move into the city where the main force was likely to be, and drive straight threw it, followed by the infantry, and then the artillery, who would both sweep out and around the entire city, trapping everyone inside, and force them towards the PFS. It was a good plan. Against inexperienced fighters, it would definitely work.
ooc: Battle and updated map tomorrow. Need to go study now. For exams. :P
-
ooc:you should join nerdic they will build rails
-
Takasia Canal A.G. could bear all the construction cost, if it has the right to run the canal. Otherwise, the construction cost will depend on how complicated the construction is. If our company does not own the operation rights, it should go at no less than 300 million Takasky Marks for a canal without locks (subject to terrain) at this distance without pollution control.
-
Nerdic is Interested in partnerships with companies in your nation, we have expanded to do transportation and trade of both Food and Raw Material, we are in fact the worlds largest Transportation concern. We are also the worlds largest holder of international Rail lines and would be happy to partner with your nation to connect it to our already existing rail lines.
-
ooc:the nerdic doesn't have CGV tech :)
-
ooc: we might let RFIC to acquire our TGV business (on Takasia peninsula) if they build their HQ in Takasia. :P
and that will go well with the proposed canal!
-
ooc: You only have patent inside Takasia. The only way would steal the project. That would lead to a fair cut of relations.
-
To: NFIC
From: Secretary of Commerce, Jose Kyulityyu
The Holy Empire of Algerianbania would be pleased to build a railroad that would connect our country with other railroads from other countries. This would not be to connect railroads from coast-to-coast. The CGV has rights to that, once our nation makes it to the other coast. If you could please inform us of where this railroad line would begin, and where it could meet up with others.
To: Takasian Canal A.G.
From: Secretary of Commerce, Jose Kyulityyu
How does a deal sound? You pay for 95% of the project and receive 90% of the revenue.
-
To: Secretary of Commerce of Algerianbania, Jose Kyulityyu
From: Takasia Canal A.G.
We accept your terms, and we have to deal with more technical issues in terms of financing. We have two proposals:
1, Our company will construct and operate the canal, with your government to provide us with the 5% cost, and we will turn in 10% of revenues as taxes.
2. A joint venture between our company and a company of yours, with 90-10 composition, while our company injects extra funds to compensate the 5% difference in construction cost.
We congratulate on the deal, and are looking forward to your decision soon.
Sincerely,
CEO of Takasia Canal A.G., Gan Rongji

The artillery were blasting the hell out of the city square. They had already weakened the wall, and pandas were charging. The vanguard of the animals smashed into the wall, head lowered, sending huge chunks of it flying in many directions. Men were shot into the air, while others opened fire. The panda infantry grouped around the beast, firing at anyone who could be a threat to it. The panda itself smashed a paw through and armored jeep that was firing a gun at the creature. The creature then jumped forward, smashing through other buildings, before coming a large encampment. Slicing and dicing left and right without the infantry back-up, the panda wreaked havoc.
A tank came around a street corner and shot a shell at the beast. The panda, warned by its rider, had already thrown a car at the tank. The car exploded right before the vehicle's barrel, leaving the tank untouched, let stunned. The panda was on it in an instant, riping off the turret, and throwing it like a frisbee into another group of enemies. The battle waged on like this for another ten minutes before the infantry pushed all of the enemy forces into the pandas, or vis versa. Already the Algerianbanian army had taken much of the Strip Lands. This city would also be put on their map.

To: Takasia Canal A.G.
From: Secretary of Commerce of Algerianbania, Jose Kyulityyu
We have an agreement. The only problem is that the Holy Empire of Algerianbania has no company that could possible be included in the joint venture that you suggest. The largest company remotely near your branch of work is Jenyuilon & Kingsly, Co., which sells Algerianbanian rubies. Perhaps we could make some compromise.
President Jordan looked down on to his desk. On it was a folder recounting the results thus far of the invasion of the Strip Lands. In front of him was an aid. "The Field Marshal in charge of the invasion has done very well Mr. President. Already we control half of the area and not a single war panda has been lost. Ever since we put in place those high-tech anti-artillery rockets, nothing has been to stop the creatures, sir."
Back on the battlefield, the pandas were beasts. Already much land had been taken with minimal casualties. Have the pandas dodge the tanks was the easy part. They were to slow to do any damage to a beast that could run 87 miles per hour, and had reflexes like a wife who's husband had just cheated on her. One piece of bad news and slap, they were on it. No, the problem was the rockets. When they were guided, running would do nothing. Making sharp turns wouldn't do anything with a beast so big. What one had to do was get a sniper to shoot down the rocket. Sounded stupid, but with armor-piecing explosive bullets, they did the job. And were expensive, but then again, no price is to much to pay for a dead Algerianbanian War Panda.

The small conference was being help in Leod, closest to the Strip Lands border. Delegates from both the resistance group, and from the Algerianbanian government. Chaseeta Esach was the first to speak. "We know that you are not happy with the current arrangement. That much was clear when you started fighting back. But the matter of fact is the Holy Empire of Algerianbania is going to conquer your lands, whether you like it or not. And we would prefer that you like it."
Kilolio Jamiguyo, the leader of the self-named resistance group, "Stripped People". "We will only be happy if we keep our homelands to ourselves."
"And that you shall. You shall keep your lands and your money. But, you will need to submit to Algerianbanian law."
A moment of silence before Esach continued. "Let's put it this way. Either you submit, or your children do." With that the Secretary of State walked out of the room. It had been a very short conference. Very short, but what else was their to say. Submit or die. The only hard part now was making them happy.
Back in the conference room, Jamiguyo was holding the pen apprehensively. One of the aids looked at him. "Just sign it. Your life will continue as normal, except that there will just be a few changes. Like a large stock pill of Algerianbanian Rubies which will buy more food and better education for your children. If you play your cards right, the Strip Lands might turn into an even more luxurious than Leod." After a small moments hesitation, the man signed the document. The Strip Lands were now Algerianbania's.

OOC: I expect all construction projects to begin IMMEDIATELY. I want to get as much done before I leave for the summer.
-
OOC: I would expect you to pick the first option, if you do not have a sizable company in the industry. And you can kick start at any time.
-
ooc: oh right. I thought they were terms of an agreement. Yes first option please.
ooc2: tak, I do expect you to be the at the vanguard of the canal RP.
-
With the agreement struck, Takasia Canal A.G. has sent their experts, headed by Tanaka Ryuichi, to the Pandaland for the canal construction. It was not as simple as the other canals built by the company before, as the canal does require locks, or the lake will dry up at its altitude.
However, it is not an uncommon technique in canal building, and the dams can be used for hydro-electric power generation. This will generate extra revenues for the canal firm. With no time to lose, recruitment drive has started in different parts of Algerianbania. The canal will be constructed concurrently at 6 sections, all at different levels. It is estimated that the construction will take 7 years (considerably shorter than Canal Barga in Saletsia due to its proximity to an environmentally sensitive area).
-
ooc: 7 years = ?
The colonization of the area was to begin immediately. Already cities were being rebuilt and new land being bought. The native people of the area, many of which were fluent in both Algerianbanian and English, had been allowed to keep their property, land, and way of life, except that now there were unified under the Holy Empire. Before now, there were only city states, never working together until very recently when they joined together to try and fight back against the invading "panda-men" as they were called. They failed, suffering severe casualties, compared to a mere 27 from the Algerianbanian forces.
The largest city in the region was near the Irnotian border. It was named Reytyr, which in Algerianbanian means pink rose. Many people came to settle there, to leave the overpopulated cities and towns of the small landlocked nation. Another city was being built, this one a port town near the coast. Farther east along the coastline, there was another port town, this one for the military, which purpose there was to build a navy.
-
OOC: Takasia Canal A.G. and RP Shops of Takasia uses the time scale of 1 RP Year=1 RL Day, and a canal of this scale is not going to appear overnight. btw, does our shipping company have the right to operate ports in your country?
-
ooc: no. but they can create shops and trade just like anyone else, but not control the ports. but of course the algerianbanian countries would make more money do to taxes, which they wouldn't have to pay.
-
The new port city of Julukin Marityu, which means Ocean's Gem, was already a heavily bustling city. Many shops and businesses had already opened, drawn to the city by the new fruitful trade via the sea. Bars, food shops, goods, clothing, accounting, scribes, and others all looking for quick and generous profits.
Most of the businesses were opened by people from the homeland of Algerianbania, as many of the natives of the Strip Land were still felt that their leader had cheated them out of their honor, pride, and dignity over a few gems. These natives did not feel the need to help the "panda-men" to strengthen their country. There were even a few underground groups that thought that rebellion was necessary, but these ideas were quickly shut out, as many of the natives still feared the "black and white giant from hell", and did not have the manpower or technology to withstand them.
If it was not for the pandas, the people would have rebelled. In fact, the Algerianbanians would have never probably taken the land, as they had no air force or navy, and while they did have more men than the people of the Strip Lands, they did not know the area as well as well as the natives. By using simple kit an run tactics, the "Strip People" would have won the fight. That and if their leader hadn't been green and given in to vanity and greed.
Even so, there were a few riots that occurred, especially in the naval city of Tyuo Refery, "Swimming Guns". Within the first 3 months of settlement in the area, 4 ship yards had been molotoved, and 14 people killed, 11 of which rioters. These riots had started out peaceful, but due to some harsh language, the explosives had been drawn and thrown.
Though some of the natives of the Strip Land felt rebellious, about 88% of them felt at least discontent at this new arrangement. Many still brooded with the knowledge that they had so easily surrendered, been made to look like a poor, weak dog, whose master had left him out in the rain. Though they felt unhappy, this unhappiness was leveled out by the fact that the Algerianbanians had brought a new, greater economy to the region, especially in Julukin Marityu. Some even were happy with their new wealth.

JULUKIN MARITYU (Agence Takasie Presse) - The Algerianbanian capital of Nikin is finally connected to the sea. With the completion of the Canal Panda, which leads the capital city to the ocean at Julukin Marityu in the northeast, the once landlocked country is now navigable by water. The dams along the canal provide substantial pollution-free power for cities and ports along the canal.
With the extra manpower provided by Algerianbania, the construction time was reduced to a lightning-short 7 years. Takasia Canal A.G. owns the canal, while retaining 90% of the revenues generated by the canal toll and power sales.
