It seems the General Secretary has returned. Clerk, please prepare last three days' Politburo notes. Comrade Stalin deserves to know what has been playing in his absence.
Petrova has remained silent these last few days, working at her desk, ignoring the insanity around her.
Welcome Comrade General Secretary. We were just enjoying some gentle banter between Comrade Marshal Sokolov and Comrade Yakushev.
As per your directions, there being no other nominations, Comrade Malenkov assumed the responsibilities of NK Finance, and most diligently submitted a draft Finance Plan for our consideration which may be found here. For your benefit, I repeat my earlier comments that the plan appears sound although on reflection we should probably increase the ceiling for Replacements to 10IC in anticipation of further fighting in the near future.

Comrades, I now call for a vote on the following MinFin proposed plan. It reflects the comments of Comrade Vatutin with respect to Reinforcements.
Financial Report:
For the period 1 Jan 1940 to 5 Jan 1940, and assuming a DOW against Yugoslavia.
All 279 IC to be allocated to Consumer Goods, to most expeditiously remove all discontent.
For the period 6 Jan 1940 to 30 Jun 1940:
Total IC: 285
Upgrades: 50 IC *
Reinforcement: 10 IC *
Supplies: 0.0 IC **
Production: 199.35 IC
Consumer Goods: 25.65 IC ***
____________________________
= 285 IC
* - The amount of IC allocated to upgrades and reinforcements shall not exceed 60. If demand is lower than 60 IC, the excess IC will be used in production.
** - Supplies will remain at 0 until/unless Reserves fall below 50,000. In which case, IC will be taken from production in the amount of Supply requirements.
*** - Shall be adjusted to meet the IC requirements. If IC requirements increase, IC will be taken from Production; this is expected if peace breaks out when CG requirements will be about 65. If IC requirement for Consumer Goods decrease, the IC will return to Production.

Commissariat of Enlightenment
Leadership and Research Allocation Proposal for the First Semester of 1940.
Part I. Leadership Allocation
Research: 18.00
Espionage: 0.31
Diplomacy: 0.15
Officers: 13.31
Part II. Research Allocation:
A) The three (3) active research projects are to be deleted from the research queue
Strategic Air Command
Heavy Bomber Pilot Training
Heavy Bomber Ground Crew
We will research these technologies later once we have more options. Currently, we don't even field such heavy bombers.
B) The following new research projects are added in the queue
1. Supply Transportation >>> Supply Organisation
2. Industrial Efficiency >>> Industrial Capacity
3. Agriculture
4. Artillery Carriage and Sights
5. Anti-Tank Muzzle and Ammunition
6. Medium Tank Gun
7. Medium Tank Reliability
8. Infantry AT weapons
9. Infantry Artillery
10. Operational Level Command
11. Blitzkrieg
12. Schwerpunkt
13. Mass Assault
14. Infantry Warfare
15. Operational Level Organisation
16. Fighter Pilot Training
17. Fighter Ground Crew
18. Interception Tactics
Part III. Implementation instructions for Kremlin
With the exception of first two chains in the research queue when a research project is complete, the resources that were assigned to it are to be assigned to officer training. It is estimated that under this setup by the end of the semester (and under current peace time laws) the officer level will be minimum 77%

(( Btw, are all units capable of accepting upgrades? At this point upgrades will be completed within 10 days, and I think parts of our armies may be left out. ))
Comrade Yakushev
I am generally supportive of your plan. I particularly like the efficient combination of the heavy bomber training programmes. I raise the following queries by way of clarification:
1. With respect to the leadership budget, unless Comrade Petrova has other plans, I suggest the need for prophylactic diplomacy in the Balkans has passed. As such, we probably don't need to allocate as much as 2.10 leadership teams to diplomacy.
2. I would suggest that we also consider including Industrial Production and Industrial Efficiency in the technology plan. Although our industry is the envy of the world, it never hurts to have more capacity sooner rather than later.
Yours fraternally

At this point, I have concluded any further attempts to woo regimes in the Balkans. We must strike, not seduce.
-Petrova
The research plans were modified accordingly. The changes were the following:
1. The heavy bomber research projects were put on hold for now. We will resume research on the subject when officer recruitment is satisfactory, or when there is an active bomber fleet.
2. Two (2) Artillery and Anti-Tank research projects were added.
3. Industrial Efficiency and Industrial Capacity were added in a sequence.
Signed,
A.Y.

I have reviewed the amended draft and I understand the refinements which you have made. I am willing to support this plan which is another testament to your ingenuity in making more from less.
