What happened in Wyoming?(在懷俄明州到底發生了什麼事)
Yesterday we began a strategic push in Wyoming in an attempt to push Hungary out of the US and establish a more defensible Capital for the eUS. Before we started this operation I asked the President to request money from SCI (Select Committee on Intelligence).
昨天我們在懷俄明州開始一波策略性的推進，試著將匈牙利驅離美國並建立一個在戰略上較容易防禦的首都，在行動開始前，我向總統請求希望能從SCI獲得經費。
(SCI是Select Committee on Intelligence的簡稱，select committee指的是美國國會中的負責各方面專案的委員會，直接中譯應該是情報委員會，但我偏好用國防委員會來稱呼。)

SCI is a secret committee in Congress that has the ability to pass emergency funding for things such as important battles or intelligence operations. They are typically long time members of Congress who have the security clearance to hear sensitive information and decide funding based on need and likelihood of success of an operation. Yesterday this did not happen.
SCI是一個存在於國會的機密委員會，他的職責在於審核並表決通過重要戰爭或是情報行動的緊急預算支出，這個委員會的成員大多是長期任職於國會且可靠性獲得認可的議員，以確保他們可以獲取敏感且機密的資訊並根據需求或是特定行動的成功的可能性審核及分配預算。

Yesterday a single member hijacked the process to protect his budget. Oblige, the CO of Special Forces decided that funding for his branch and the rest of USAF was more important than our war efforts. His exact reasons for holding up funding were that the Executive did not back him up on funding of USAF in Congress as he had requested and instead were letting Congress decide the matter as is its power under the constitution.
但在昨天某個委員會成員為了保護他的預算破壞審核程序。Special Forces(美國軍團之一)的成員
Oblige認為向他的軍團和USAF提供預算比支持我們在懷俄明洲的行動還要重要，他選擇不贊成撥款的確切理由是因為內閣並沒有在議會中支持他所提出撥款給USAF這個法案，反而交由國會根據憲法所給予的權力去做表決。
(這段我沒去查相關資料，但我猜發文者DMV3應該是內閣成員，之前應該Oblige有去向內閣請求說在國會內發表言論支持撥多點預算給USAF被拒絕，所以這次內閣組織的行動就被他惡意擋下。)

This type of move is entirely political on the part of Oblige and hurts the war effort when we desperately needed to win a key battle for our strategy to continue unhindered. What Oblige does not seem to understand is that the budget is strictly under Congressional control and that due to current income levels cuts are being suggested by their economic advisors and the Executive branch has no real say in what Congress does with the budget other than how it is distributed to the branches of USAF once the budget is passed.
這個行為完全是出自於Oblige個人的政治考量，他不顧一切地損害我們在影響國家存亡的關鍵戰場上所付出的努力，Oblige不懂的是預算皆處於國會的嚴格控制下，而他們決策的依據是根據國家收入水平及他們個人的智囊，內閣能做的只有在預算通過後決定撥款方式，在預算分配上內閣是沒有確切的影響力。

By publishing this information I have violated the laws of the eUS and I am more than happy to live with the consequences of these actions as decided by the President and Congress, but personal power can not be allowed to be put ahead of the needs of the nation. National security and the war effort must take priority over personal ambition and petty grudges. Until we are able to act in the best interests of nation instead of our own we will never be free of our enemies.

在公佈這項資訊後，可以看得出來我已經觸犯了美國的法律，對我來說，我這麼做會比只是單純遵循總統或國會命令呆板的政治決策來得快樂。但個人的權力不能置於國家需要之前，當考慮到國家安全及戰場需求時，個人的偏好及仇恨應該先擱置在旁，除非我們能先拋棄個人的利益或偏好而以國家利益為優先，不然我們將無法從我們的敵人手中獲取自由。
(I am more than happy to live with the consequences of these actions as decided by the President and Congress，這段我自己翻得不是很滿意，歡迎糾正。)
