Office of the Armaments Ministry

curtsibling · April 2, 2003, 07:41

This is the my office where I decide on the fate of our heroic labour efforts for the further glory of the Soviet Revolution!

Armaments Minster
In charge of the Ural Mountains Industrial Complex of cities and the production of those not directly under control of a Front commander (these western cities like Tula and Orel etc will eventually be occupied by Commanders, negating duty). Controls what is produced. Controls workers and labor brigades within the region for maximum output. Must gain the agreement of the Economic Minister to spend money out of the national treasury. Reports to the Marshal.

curtsibling · April 2, 2003, 07:46

Please come and see me if you require a certain type of weapon/unit to be made quickly or want to field test new designs.

I plan to work with the Comrade Economic Minister to maximise our glorious effort to derail the Fascist incursion!

My first duty will be to ditch any un-needed buildings in the Urals area, and convert my region into a 'tank-a-turn' industrial sprawl!

If you must visit me urgently, PM me with any concerns.

My Comrade and fellow worker is available too!
Economic Minister's Office down the hall...

All commanders on my front please recall this...

"We who defend the Urals are the mighty backbone of the USSR!
If all other fronts falter, we must be the fortress that stands!
If we fall...Then the Revolution fails..."

But with the invincible Red Army at your disposal, the USSR is safe!

And I would remind you that I am charge of Labour brigades...
Including PRISON Labour!

Comrade!

Since you are in command of our labour brigades may I request for priority to be given to the improvement of the Caucus oil fields (by building roads on them). Oil is the lifeblood of a modern army and if we want KV-1s rolling off the production lines as quickly as possible we must maximise science production in the first few turns.
(airports to fly in labour brigades will by build in the Caucuses in due course).

Shaka Naldur · April 2, 2003, 13:12

xin yu's suggestios about building at airport at two cities near siberia to airlift them to the caucasus was very good

Comrade Greeny!
These priorities are duly noted!

I will have to double check that my powers extend to the Caucus or not...

Yep!

This stratagem will be explored!

curtsibling · April 3, 2003, 10:04

A plea to our comrade generals, save our people and workers, and possibly me!

All commanders please keep me posted of refugees in your areas!

The must be re-routed into the safe rear areas at all costs...

Long live the soviet revolution!

greeny · April 3, 2003, 13:33

Remember to ask the Economic Minister (me) for any rushbuying that needs to be done. Barracks perhaps?

curtsibling · April 3, 2003, 16:26

An idea, Comrade!
Why don't you fix me a budget?
Say 1000 gold (Rubles)?

The ANZAC · April 5, 2003, 12:48

When exactly do the refugees switch from the command of the front commanders to the control of the armaments minister?

curtsibling · April 5, 2003, 17:02

I have been informed by our Marshal that all refugees are under my command, their safety is also my responsibility...

The ANZAC · April 5, 2003, 18:03

so as soon as they are created, you get to move them?

Speaking of which, we are allowed to build refugees right?

curtsibling · April 5, 2003, 18:15

Seems like our commanders are getting as many citizens from our cities as possible!

I must save our people from the fascist clutches!

The ANZAC · April 5, 2003, 19:57

Yes! save the Rodina from the Fascist pig-dogs!

OOC: this still doesn't answer my question

greeny · April 6, 2003, 08:00

I'm pretty sure it is alowed ANZAC, no one suggested a rule banning it and it's a big part of the Red Front industialisation process. I did suggest that we shouldnt build them East of the Volga however as would just be silly.

The ANZAC · April 6, 2003, 10:44

ok now that that is settled, shouldn't front commanders redirect them back?

Shaka Naldur · April 6, 2003, 10:51

are we going to found new cities??
I've never thought on doing that before

curtsibling · April 6, 2003, 16:21

I have been given command of all refugees by the Marshal.

They count as labour, and that is my bag!

If you want refugees put under your command:

*State a good reason here or on the turn thread.
*Tell me which city they are to go to.
*Then the Armaments Ministry will try to send some of our hapless citizens to your area!

Otherwise, I plan on creating new cities and boosting those in the Urals.

Front Commanders who do well may find a new city created in their honour!

Now isn't that worth fighting for?

Henrik · April 7, 2003, 01:12

/Henrikov, who is allready planning great feats to ensure that he get's a city named after him

Shaka Naldur · April 7, 2003, 07:14

that would be nice
Henrikgrad
Shakagrad...
we have our self estime very very low

curtsibling · April 10, 2003, 15:47

All loyal Comrades will be rewarded!

curtsibling · April 28, 2003, 04:17

Update!

The Marshall has escaped from captivity and is ready to talk with commanders and workers!

conmcb25 · April 30, 2003, 00:08

You had better gear up to produce a lot of these Comrade:

conmcb25 · April 30, 2003, 00:12

Or else:

EZRhino · April 30, 2003, 15:11

I just looked at the save, we have hardly any roads on the oil field squares. Adding a road turns the 25 trade to 35, probably more for the special "refinery"squares. Disastrous consequences could soon entail if we do not have roads up there soon.

I believe Comrade Siblingov is planning on that. If I can keep him out of the Moscow Brothels long enough. He already has at least two refugees staged in the Caucass and maybe more coming to go to work as soon as the snow flies.

If he doesn't build roads then well you know:

I ordered Airfields in those cities, as yet I have none.

Otherwise there is no way to get those labourers down to the South.

But the refugees should be turning into workers soon.
And I will begin roads as soon as this event happens.

curtsibling · May 4, 2003, 07:16

To show my loyatly, please observe my egging on of workers at the Ural complexes!

Shaka Naldur · May 4, 2003, 09:58

could you send some refugees to Saransk??

greeny · May 4, 2003, 11:52

Nefarious fascists appear to have distrupted communications between our two ministries! Which cities are in need of airports comrade? They will be constructed immediately! Baku and Grozney already have airports. Remember each road built gives 10 extra trade arrows per month and far more on refinary squares!
