((Not at the present time, Comrade... because I'm being stiffed of diplomatic teams.))
((That's what I thought.))
Comrades,
Forgive an old man his memory, but have we decided whether or not manual trading will be a part of our second half 1936 strategy? If so, we also ought to be hearing from Comrade Kamensky as for what precisely we ought to be pursuing.

This Briefing is most secret upon pain of death for any who leak it's contents and banishment to a Siberian work camp for their closest family members
Greetings Comrades. our recruiting goals were met and hugely successful. Because of the desire our people have exhibited to root out traitors and advance our cause throughout the world, we are able to reduce our budget request. The budget suggested by Comrade Yakushev will be quite adequate.
Our Projected Targets and missions will be:
1)The USSR
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: counterintelligence((lvl 1)) and raise NU((lvl 3))
By early 1937 NU will exceed 60% and we will be able to enforce better laws
2)Finland
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: switch to counterintelligence((lvl 0)) and lower NU((lvl 3))((If we start losing spies in Finland, temporarily increase counter intel))
((By late 1939 Finnish NU will be ~40% making conquest very easy and fast especially with amphibious assaults on important coastal cities.))
3)Germany
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: Switch to counterintelligence((lvl 3)) and raise threat((lvl 3))
4)Japan
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: Switch to counterintelligence((lvl 3)) and raise threat((lvl 3))
((After Marco Polo Japanese Belligerence will exceed German Belligerence until after Anschluss))
5) The UK
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: counterintelligence((lvl 3)) and Tech Espionage((lvl 3))
6) France
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Current orders should be: counterintelligence((lvl 2)) and Tech Espionage((lvl 3))
6) USA
10 spies, max recruiting((lvl 3))
Initial orders counterintelligence((lvl 3))
When US intelligence <5, Switch to counterintelligence((lvl 2)) and Tech Espionage((lvl 3))

Comrade General Secretary,
There was the idea to do it manually, yes. However, since nobody pressed that matter to even a formal proposal - let alone voting - so I'd assume auto-trade on.
((Which doesn't mean Sakura_F couldn't do some manual trades (that's still possible, and since TFH, the AI doesn't touch these trades, unless we're running out of something because of the trade), it just means, that we'll leave auto-trade enabled as base (since TFH, auto-trade is the only AI I'm using in my own games - fewer annoying proposals of minors buying 0.38 energy - and almost no disadvantages).))

I vote for comrade Yagoda's plan.

((If I understand my HOI3 terminology, what HOI3 calls Theaters would most nearly be Military Districts in Soviet parlance. Stavka would be a purely hypothetical super-organization in HOI3, sort of a hybrid JCS and DoD, with elements of each. In game, I'm fine with calling the western theater Stavka.))
Poll for NKVD:
4 in favor (Yagoda, Yakushev, Rakobolskaja, Hrynko).

((A theater is basically a HQ with unlimited subordinates and 2000 km command range in HoI3. Standard SOV OOB has seven or eight of them, one is called STAVKA. I just asked, because Davout brought up the issue with Tukhachevsky leading STAVKA. So STAVKA is not necessarily a unit placed on the map?))
Dear Comrades
I vote in favour of Comrade Yagoda's proposal. I also commend the hard work of the NKVD. Only recently some kind gentlemen of the NKVD visited my babushka to check on her health. This gesture reminded me that she had not gone to visit relatives in a distant part of the country to help her in her old age.
Please forgive me as I have been tied up with paperwork this week, but I do not recall seeing the revised Budget proposal from Comrade NK Hrynko. As we have moved on to Foreign Affairs, the Budget must have been dealt with given the recent directive introduced by the General Secretary. My main concern was what was the decision adopted regarding the allocation of IC's to Reinforcement and Supply.
I also take up from Comrade NK Rakobolskaja's suggestion that the Foreign Policy plan could be amended to include some proposal for identification of specific commercial treaties for the purchase of grain and livestock overseas ((a list of target countries for proposed manual trades for supplies)).
((I would also like a clarification regarding the naming of the Western Theatre unit and its commander. I had understood that in the spirit of gaming, the Western supreme HQ unit was Stavka and that we were forced to put the Tukhachevsky commander in charge. As shierholzer commented, this leader's attributes in the game are less than stellar but it may be the price we pay for flavour, like the scrapping of the capital ships. It is only a small point but I would like it clarified. If Tukhachevsky is not to be the Western Theatre commander, is it then okay to deploy him to a subordinate unit as we are short of commanders at present? I know this would look odd from a flavour point of view and as there is no pressing demand for commanders, we could leave him off the board and stay as an eminence gris with no physical presence on the field.))

General Vatutin,
Comrade Rakobolskaja had requested we go to the OOB prior to Comrade Hrynko's official budget.
Stalin
((Since Tukhachevsky can be represented in game as a minister, I see no reason why we couldn't leave him out of the game as a battlefield commander, at least for now, if that's what you'd like to do.))

FBI PROFILE
NOTE 1:All information was obtained through Embassy Staff, all of which that I talked to have been sent back to the USSR and are unlikly to ever be seen again
STATUS OF INVESTIGATION:Suspended by the personal order of the Director
Name: Alik Feodoryich Pasternak
Born: October 2, 1910 (26)
Current Position: USSR Ambassador to USA
Born in the Imperial Russian Embassy to the current ambasador to the US, he was not engaged in anything of intrest until after the Comunist Uprising. During the Uprising his family sought political assylum in the US. In 1926 he was supposibly approached by the current Washington DC NKVD branch head ((As this is the FBI and not a real inteligence agency it is possible they don't know much about the Russian security agencies so I will use American terminology for titles)). Soon after he moved to Russia. I was not able to find out much about his activites in Russia until 1934 when he suddenly returned to the US as ambassador. I belive he was part of the Russian secret police during his time in the USSR. He is currently estraned from his family although rumor has it he is married to the daughter of a Russian General. I also suspect that Ambassador Pasternak has friends in congress and even possibly on the Presidents staff. I was unable to find out more before my investigation was suspended.
- Special Agent Jacob Smith
EDIT: ((I forget to add somethings about Alik such as his personality. He is sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor. He is very diplomatic and knows when to keep his mouth shut although he talks down to those lower than him. As he has lived most of his life in the US he speaks with an American accent.))

Comrade Yakushev, we are still eagerly awaiting your tech plan; have you composed something you are ready for us to vote on? To those Comrades who have yet to vote, we are also still voting on Comrade Yagoda's NKVD plans.

((I have worked out an OOB with shierholzer and am ready to submit it once Stalin gives the word. There are also 3 actions for the Politburo to vote on, 1 of which is subject to shierholzer preparing a paper comparing the pros and cons of giving priority tp TAC or CAS. Again I await the word to submit these for discussion given we still have some outstanding matters.))
((Somewhere Avindian stated, that we don't need to force a vote on our OOB))
Of course comrade general secretary. Here is the plan:
