Industry begins to be focused on mass production of military equipment, albeit maybe later than they should have. The mass production includes but is not limited to weaponry and equipment, though a majority being improved attachable-detachable bayonets. Soldiers are immediately outfitted with them once produced, the intention being to help in slowing the all out assault of Romekate forces.

Chevaux de frise continue to be made alongside these, too, though metal variants begin to be set up in fortifications within the inner, more western territory of Grúzia-Nec. Works of art and books of ancient-to-present history of the Georgien peoples and nation, as well as even stolen works of art and wealth from Sunyong, are taken through the Lehr river to the ocean by ship, before being transported to Scotia through. Merchant/trade ahips.

Avalonia's war machine kicks into high gear, and all sorts of military gear is produced and sold to Arcon and whoever else on Arcon's side will buy it.

Anti-Arconian shipping passing through Avalonia or waters it controls is turned away, and in the event of excessively hostile resistance or obviously repeated attempts, confiscated and auctioned.

Avalonia deploys several airships above the effective range of enemy fire in the Arcon-Espovon Theater to fly to the moon and claim its entirety for Avalonia provide tactical information to its allies.  What Avalonia is using is comparable to that, but seats three: a pilot, navigator, and watchman, and features a more powerful engine allowing it to fly against the wind, albeit at slower speeds.

The Avalonian Southern and Eastern frontiers continue to be fortified with reinforced concrete, and Avalonia increases the frequency of militia drilling, including surprise defense drills to test readiness.  Telegraph lines are tested to ensure that rapid communication remains possible, and railway lines and roads are given any necessary maintenance to ensure that Avalonia's logistical network can handle any necessary troop movements.

the anglish navy is redirected to intercept stolen sunyong cultural artifacts that are attempting to escape to scotia

the airships aren't shot down because this forum looks like ass on mobile and i didnt see the new post warning when i read below

the romekate focus on war industry is not changed; it's been in high gear ever since the vassalization of anglond

the low-handed thievery of west sunyong's very culture is used in leaflets shot over not-yet occupied parts of sunyong calling for the assistance of those who care for their culture

it is quite interesting, you claim that the romekates are erasing cultures yet here you stand stealing west sunyong's, gruzia

[SWAT One]

Bro that's our allies.

scotia allows gruzia-necian ships to dock in their harbours for the time being to store all the cargo gruzia is sending

scotian historians, writers, geologists, archaeologists and artists begin documenting the works

nice metagaming lad

at least for the ship parts

how do you know the art and wealth isn't back in the capital or any of the other major cities? infact why would you care at all when you're still in a heavy & active battle in sunyong territory

in response to the all seeing eye of new romekate, the counter claim is made that the artifacts are being taken back to be preserved and safe, far away from war, and that it will be given back to romekate/sunyong by war's end. there is also no official order and never has there been one to steal from sunyong's people or history, and that officers have generally ordered soldiers not to act out of line

i should also note that the ships going to scotia keep themselves far off from any pro-arcon or pro-romekate land

[Juncoph]

it's presumed that word would get out of an organized attempt to pillage a land's artifacts and wealth

how did you set it up if your officers aren't aware of the plan, anyway?

furthermore it's generally assumed that open posts are public info- not covert actions, so if you don't conceal a major relocation of art like that then yes, again, word will spread if you aren't actively concealing the fact


if you're truly doing it to preserve the art, then cede sunyong.
