Yes those are my opinions, yous don't have to agree with mine and I don't have to agree with yours. As long as all men get thier chance and are equal
The ministry of fininiance thanks you for the kinder aproach to building and recruitment that you have adopted howeaver, if possible would you please extend your plan another 2 months to allow the laying of a new knell once a month simply to create a more uniform and smaller expense over the next 3 years. I also announce no changes to the finance plan.
Your suggestions are much appreciated. I have consulted with the Design Bureau; they are not as confident as you that either or both changes (steam power for SOLs and retrofitting rams) are capable of successful execution. They do forsee a new class of capital ships, tentatively dubbed 'Ironclads', that would usefully replace our current SOLs. The Design Bureau is working assiduously to assemble the technical advances required to make this new class a reality. When their work is sufficiently advanced, the Ministry will propose an appropriate construction program.

This is the beginnings of a comprehensive industrial plan for the nation. For each of the regions I list below, I have determined the best core industries for the region.
I will continue developing the comprehensive plan for the rest of the nation.

The attached plan:
- The factories listed with a plus should be opened as we have the finances to spare, they are currently profitable, and there are likely to be sufficient workers to run the factory.
- The factories listed with a minus are existing factories that should removed whenever they are bankrupt, unprofitable, or the existing factories can absorb the existing workforce without future job shortages.
- The factories listed with no special symbols are existing factories that should continue to be supported.
- The order of the listing is the order in which changes should be made.
- All of this can be done at the discretion of local bureaucrats appointed to the State Planning Commission as it seems appropriate. (( Avindian, use this as a guideline, but don't feel the need to do everything at once. Make changes as they fit the region's situation. ))
- Unlisted factories will be supported, closed, or left alone at the discretion of the local bureaucrats, but the factories here must remain the core of the local industries. (( So if you see, say, extra canned food factories around making things difficult for the states having them as a core industry, feel free to shut them down ))
I will continue developing the comprehensive plan for the rest of the nation.

The attached plan:
Plans of the Ministry of War (revised in accordance with the Minister of Finance's request)
The Ministry of War believes it is time to move away from wind power, and to embrace fully steam power for our fleet. Or at least, to do so as much as possible. We do not as yet have a steam powered replacement for the Men o'War, and so must leave their replacement for some future plan. Keeping in mind the fiscal constraints we face, the Ministry plans to replace the frigates and transports over the next 4 years, as follows:
Year 1: Build 3 commerce raiders and 9 steam transports
Year 2: Build 3 commerce raiders and 9 steam transports
Year 3: Build 2 commerce raiders and 10 steam transports
Year 4: Build 2 steam transports
As each new ship is commissioned, a corresponding obsolete vessel is to be scrapped.
Date of Birth: February 12th, 1827
Place of Birth: Hamburg
Political Affiliation: UAI
House: Assembly
Bio: Among the youngest members of the Assembly, Heinrich is an oddity in the UAI and one of its most radical members. He has gained a certain sympathy for the poorer members of German society and believes in the need for the government to have some responsibility for the welfare of the most destitute citizens and hard working citizens of Germany. He supports limited expansion of social reform and the ongoing suffrage movement, but maintains a liberal leaning and strong support for the republic. He is appalled by the violence and instability caused by Karl Marx but believes that the suppression of the German people is not the answer.

((Wilkommen Somberg! With the temporary closing of FoE, hopefully more people will join SoA.
One question, though: given your character's radical views, he might be better suited to DDA, as the UAI is notoriously moderate and somewhat irrelevant (no offense guys ).))
((Wilkommen Somberg! With the temporary closing of FoE, hopefully more people will join SoA.
((Yeah, with FoE's temporary closure as well the lack of anything interesting to do as a fascist in EoE, I am looking for another IAAR to get involved in. I only joined the UAI because my guy isn't really a big supporter of laissez-faire, but more of interventionism. However, I may reconsider the party if the UAI is indeed too moderate for his somewhat radical views.))
((Welcome to Sonderweg Oder Anderweg, Watch out as Karl Marx is like Adolf H around here at the moment.It is almost so bad that talking about Marx = Death(They even threathened my 8 year old Hohenzollern :O(Who was kidnapped by the Jacobins lead by Marx but during his capture became a kinda socialist)) And your political views are as my characters,More suited for the DDA until the socialist parties arrive in a matter of a few years.))
((My guy doesn't quite agree with the DDA's economic or war policies. I'll see if it makes sense to have him switch parties, but that is the main reason why I chose to have him be a member of the UAI rather than the DDA.))
((My dude matures in 21 years...Maybe we can make a socialistic Imperialistic party by then(My character sees himself as the rightful Kaiser(He was born after his fathers(Prince Albrecht von Hohenzollern)) death)) but does want democracy, The monarchy being the police of the Goverment and vice versa with Marxs social ideas.))
((For a modern example,I mean my home country.That type of Government..))((A Marxist monarchy? Good luck with that.
((Adolf Hitler?
That's a stretch. Marx is more like...well, Marx but more violent and evil-ish. DutchGuy, does your character have stockholm syndrome? I would like to formally welcome Heinrich Bergmann to the Government. Though we may not agree on many things, it is good for Germany for citizens to take part.

((Welcome, Somberg! Hope you have some fun here
))
((Welcome aboard! Always glad to have new players!
Also, for the record, to say we're portraying Marx like Hitler shows a lack of understanding of both of them IRL.))
EDIT: Military plan and industrial plan pass. Idhrendur, is that all you wanted to do for now, or did you want us to wait a bit longer so you can submit the rest of the plan? I can't play until Tuesday, maybe Monday evening, anyway.

(( It's slow progress figuring that all out. I'm likely to have more by that point, but for the sake of letting people in the government object if they choose, I'll leave it be until the next update. I expect this form of industrial planning to play out over a longer stretch of time. ))
