Retech

Well keep in mind that by then, it wasn't a Japanese company or an Indonesian company, but it's both of their companies. :D Also, why do Brits hate American firms based in Britain? I want more foreign firms in America, since they have cool designs. (Has anyone seen a tea-thermos which can put your teabag in for you? It's so cool!) ----- Japan and Indonesia made up a long time ago.

It was a single day from completion. There was basically no way you could convince them otherwise that far down the road, after I've already invested billions in infrastructure and Japanese companies employing 40% of the workforce. Unless somehow you put in a few more billion dollars and employed more of the workforce, which wouldn't be possible because of the blockade. :P So essentially I got far enough down the line that Indonesia would see it as interventionism if you came in.

Japan withdraws its attempt to join TFTA. To Icu, for Indonesia it's been at least 5 days. I don't know the exact date.

Indonesia once again refuses to be relinquished. Japan has been good to Indonesia, and it doesn't look possible that Indonesia would leave such a strong bond. Meanwhile, Japan asks Russia again if it (the country) can join TFTA.

Small little change for next time you do it pwease. The wittle islands north of Japan, and the chain of islands close to Japan, are owned by Japan, since Russia traded it to us. ---------------- Breaking News! The Diet (parliament) has voted to give the emporer the right to dissolve the diet at his will. He quickly used his power, and a new diet was elected into office. They quickly passed a landslide of legislation, including denouncing the right of Japan to declare war for imperialistic purposes. New limits have also been added: interventions in the Asian region in aid of an ally or allies will now have a troop cap of 150,000, while interventions in other regions require the request of two or more powers, and a troop cap of 50,000. Japan's new foreign policy minister has met with the economic policy minister and have decided to better relations with India and surronding countries. The embargo has been lifted, and the naval blockade line has been pulled back so that Indian ships have access to Malaysia. Japan requests that they limit their troops presence to 100,000 soldiers and half a fleet. The economic minister once again requests Japan's (country, not empire) inclusion into TFTA, after the bid to join FETA was accepted. This means that Japan will be in most of the major international trade organizations. The mission statement of the new government was this: "Never again will we have a raging war that sweeps across the Pacific...or the world. Trade is the engine to peace, so let trade be the way."

Isn't that what Dusty wanted in the first place?

Japan advises Russia to stand down at this point, since it has first-hand experience on messing up big time on a massive invasion. This will not end well!

Archi was referring to aircraft carriers which cost 2 billion. I was referring to the American design, which hold 100 planes and cost 8 billion. It was supposed to be more economical to have a super carrier than a normal aircraft carrier. I think I'll just be building normal carriers from this point.

Those aircraft carriers must be rather weak then. The supercarriers I built cost about 10 billion.

Japan continues on its projects, but moves some of its money around. The Japanese economy grew greater than expected, due to massive and unexpected government spending. Budget: Project Monarch Butterfly - 50 billion Project Coccoon (Defences on islands) - 10 billion Construction of 20 destroyers - 30 billion The rest is in reserves. ------ Huzzah. The community loves my bumbling attempts to annex. Off to another nation to invade! :P

Oh well, Rocco was just far too aggressive for my liking. Hopefully under Sere's control, India will be peacefully advesarial. --------------- Does anyone know the cost of an average destroyer? When I search around Wiki, it doesn't like to tell me.

Isn't "laud" a positive term? I'm probaly wrong, but it felt sorta wierd reading that.

Japan pledges troops in Romania's defence, since Russia likes going around intervening in the Pacific and Romania is kind to Japan. ------------- Meanwhile, Japan asks the South American countries if they would like a low 5% flat tariff rate for all goods going in and out of the nations.

You mean that you're going to annex Myanmar? You haven't exactly taken time in doing so. Anyways, I think Russia is basically giving them lots of shiny weapons to stop them from being annexed.

Thanks Icu. I've already annexed all the countries that I wanted. :P

Errr Mather, I'm good. There's already a better defence for that.

Well, I am just going to ignore it, like you ignored me. So you can choose to recognize it if you want, so enjoy your losses. The 500,000 troops were contributed from Singapore and Indonesia. They're not that far away, and I'm sure the ships can hold them. ------- In which case my fighters (not all of them were attacking of course) intercepted them, because of their superior technology.

Well two can play at that game. Anyways, my objections to your calculation: 1. You mobilized 4 million soldiers and somehow got them to Malaysia in a day. 2. Submarines normally don't pass other submarines that easily. 3. The international community did not send any soldiers. 4. Switzerland possesses an overpowered uber-bomber, which was ignored.

Ummmm....no. (I think Laos is already going under China)

Well I guess it was sorta a good thing that I initiated that attack. Oh, I switch my vote from non-moderator to having Sere as moderator. ---- Somehow Rocco's submarines (of which there were 40) somehow bypassed 60 or so of my submarines + the superior amount of destroyers and frigates with his own navy.

(I said that there were basically no casualties because the war system is really bogus right now)(Not to mention Archi's somehow invincible bombers which he somehow developed with little money and a year) Japan pulls back its blockade to around the (it's hard to explain, but sorta like from the tip of Indonesia around Malaysia and ends up off the coast of China, not too close to China of close) Now there is no blockade on Malaysia.

Japan withdraws from the conflict. India (probaly) stops firing. Mysteriously, there were absolutely no casualties. Japan asks China to ask India to get the troops out of Malaysia.

Except that you cannot control a neutral country, since after all most of the Southeast Asian countries are controlled by Japan and are helping Japan. (Not Thailand, and whatever those countries)

1. I never insta moved 500,000. They were from right next door, noting the closeness between my islands and mainland Malaysia. My carriers were off the coast of mainland Malaysia. Your fleet is outside the ring of islands and thus must go between the islands to get in. Doesn't that make any sense? 2. Except for the destroyers who are equipped with anti-sub defences, and my larger sub fleet of my own. 3. You had evacuated your troops because Paul attacked, so you have Malaysian defence. Japan responds that it will break off from the conflict when Indian troops leave the area.

Okay, several things. 2nd line: You don't have 4 million Indian troops in Malaysia. You had 0 Indian troops in Malaysia. 3rd line: Except for my navy which actually exists around the Supercarriers, since the super carriers are on the inside of the blockade? 3rd line continued: You don't have any SAM sites, they just started being built.
