[Yakutsk Army Barracks Practice Range]
"It goes without saying thats our nations single greatest asset is the army. It represents our ability to enforce our will, and defend ourselves from enemies both foreign and domestic. The problem remains however, that our force is armed with outdated weaponry and generally shitty equipment!" shouted Nikita to the assembled troops with Sergei standing at his shoulder.
"The reason were on the practice range today is to adress that problem!"
He motions for the quartermaster to open the crate and reaches in to pull out its contents. "This is your new standard infantry rifle. Its designation is the AK-47 Assault Rifle and it is meant to replace the bolt action rifles you all carry"
"It also came to the attention of the Politburo that during the war our forces were extreamly ineffective at knocking out the Nazi tanks." Several soldiers in the ranks coughed in agreement at the statement.
"Since we cant produce enough tanks of our own we must give the infantrymen the ability to destroy or at least disable an enemy tank. That is why we have developed these!"
"This is the RPG-7 it is designed for the purpose of destroying or disabling German tanks. If what the designers say is true, then its should make your lives alot easier in war. Now! go with your squad leaders and get ready for training with these weapons"
[3 Hours Later]
"Well Nikita it seems you got the mens spirits up with that presentation." said Sergei.
"They will need it! From what my superiors in Novosibirsk tell me, it seems we may soon be moving on Primorsk in the next 2 months." replied Nikita.
"So those fuckers are giving me just 2 months to get my men ready for war again!? shouted Sergei "We just signed a ceasfire with the damned whites!"
"Yes I know your feeling comrade. But think about it first! if we control Vladivostok we will have access to a port that wont freeze over constantly, plus the Industry and resources of the area will be vital to any war with the whites! Besides they
are the weakest fucking target!
"I guess your right about that. Still it troubles me that we are rushing into war so soon! I mean they still have not re-settled all the refugees from China and Korea." replied Sergei
"Yes those are concerns but it is best that the troops not know for a little while about the coming war. So keep quiet and hone your skills for war. You will need it my friend."
