Clarification of my policy regarding Military

Day 651, 03:18 • Published in Japan Japan • by Akki

Since my official announcement to run for the president of Japan, there has been increase question from the citizens of Japan about the military policy I hold. There are increased rumor that I will move to destroy and minimalism our army and to move it to dusty and useless state. However, this is untrue, and I am here now to explain in more depth of the proposed military policy I plan to implement if elected president to try to renew and modernize our army to reform it into efficient, slime, and light fighting force.

Funding:

One thing people worry over is that I will cut the military funding to destroy the army. This is completely untrue. I personally believe that in current state of the country and our economy, our country can indeed afford 50-75 gold to fund our military per month. I believe this gives good funding for the army for month and if used properly, could help continue to develop our army. Our past two Ministers of Defense, Geno Garon and Kita Ikki has done a great job bringing an army to what it is now. There is no reason to stop now.

While it is true I do not plan to increase the monthly funding, I plan to increase the investment of the military as the whole. Currently, we have 1 organization, Japanese imperial Army that handles our military affairs. However, as our army develops, as our current Minister of Defense Kita Ikki says, the organization is becoming inadequate in supporting the soldiers. Thus I do plan to support creation of second military organization, Japanese imperial Navy to assist the current organization. However here is the twist over the current proposal of Minister of Defense Kita Ikki. I plan to invest more money to the new organization to create new weapon company which will serve as a stockpiling company of higher quality weapon for our army to use in emergency situation. Q1 weapons are not effective in real war situation, while they are good for training. Thus we must invest in something more effective in case of emergency.

Currently, we have one military organization: Japanese Imperial army with the monthly 75 gold budget. Currently it has Q1 weapon companies, and that is where soldiers get their weapons for training and for war.

I plan to change it into something like this…
-Japanese Imperial army (With Q1 Weapon Company which can be used for training)
-Japanese Imperial Navy (with Q3-4 Weapon Company which will be stockpiled)
-50-75 gold monthly funding
-Some JPY needed to run both weapon companies

From this program, 50-75 gold will be given indefinitely as the fund to the Military as the whole. This is the funding, that the army decides where it should be used for to improve itself. This is guaranteed funding to the army unless congress decision changes it otherwise. However in addition to that, 195 Gold will be invested (separate from the funding) to create Japanese Imperial Navy with Q4 weapon company. Some JPY will also be sent to both organizations for the running cost of the companies. This JPY which will be sent separately from the monthly funding will be given in JPY and could be used either to hire workers or to buy resource. When buying resource, since we must import irons, using JPY should help stop the deflation of our currencies to help keep our monetary market healthy. If needed, more JPY could be printed to be used for the army which will both help army funding, as well as keep our country from deflating.

Thus although the core funding will remain the same, new funding will happen with JPY that will be printed from the congress. This money should add extra support to the operation of the two weapon companies, as well as help to slow down the deflation of our currency by introducing some new currency to offset the increased demand or loss of it in the system. This should both help increase the overall benefit Japanese imperial army receives while help stabilize our currency while the stress on our tax payer and our citizens maintains the same.

Training:

Moving on to another question other citizens had, the priority based training. This training method should not cut the needed weapons our soldiers need to train for those who desperately need them, and should not take much affect for active soldiers of our countries that show greatest dedication to our army. What is should take hit on is against our lesser dedicated soldiers, that are only part of the army to receive free weapons.

What will happen is simple, those who has too low of an strength to take advantage of the weapon over the cost 9those probably under the strength of 4.5-5) will not be the priority of the system, nor would those with high rank already that costs too much to advance to next rank (general or Colonel.) Rather the highest priority on the weapons will become those with strength 5 and above who is private. Those with strength high enough to add damage but has extremely low rank would nevertheless gain highest priority since they can add much more damage for low cost, however, having high strength will not mean they will gain priority if they can afford the weapon or has high enough rank already.

I have been noted that our current Minister of Defense Kita Ikki has used similar procedure in the past. However, I wish to standardize it and put it to much wider application, so we can cut possible abusers of the system, as well as the waste of funds which can instead be used on our younger soldier that can use the fund with much more efficiency. Thus, this does not mean you will suddenly lose your free weapons. It will all depend on what your priority is. Obviously, if you are not a mobile force, you will have lower priority than those with mobile force. However, it does not mean you won’t get weapon; it will mean some day that weapon supply is low, you won’t get weapon and on days where there is more than plenty weapons, you will get the supply.

There will be some soldier cut from our army (mostly those who can’t move due to the fact they are part of politics of Japan) due to the fact they add nothing to the army than the cost to maintain them. Those politicians cannot be sent out of the country to assist our allies, and will not do much to the army on the regular bases. Thus they could simply be kept as other citizens outside of military who trains by themselves that helps defend our country in case of emergency and invasion. After all, this is why we have training wars that everyone can take advantage of.

I hope it clears up most of the questions people had about my military policy if elected, and if there is further questions, please do not hesitate to eave comment, talk to me on IRC, or talk to me with in game PM. I will try to answer it the best I can to explain it further to clarify further questions.

Connecting our past with future like Moebius strip.
