MEZZO

Today I spent more than one hour and half trying to reach an agreement with Mezzo. The basic lines were that he needs and apologize for my joke, made in a private chat, which I retracted one minute later, and was made with him absent. And I needed him to apologize for not obeying a direct order regarding military subjects: The order to answer a question (about military subjects) properly.

I did not request from him an apolgy for the insults. I don't care about the insults so much. I think we can be more or less free to insult each other in a moment of heat... but then, of course, the more free are we to make a joke. The more, in a private place.

But I need Commanders who understand that they must obey any military order, including the order to answer a question on military subjects. No matter if they consider the question stupid or not, or that they answered already. The superior asks three times? You answer three times. This is the Army.

Well... I tried everything. I really did. I offered him to recognize that I would have reacted better. I offered him to insult me again as much as he wanted... providing he recognized the error of not obeying orders. I offered that RKKA chooses another commander and then he is re-admitted as soldier. I answered all his questions, and remained calmed and cool all the time... he did at the beginning, but at the end he started again with the flaming and the insults.

So... no agreement. And RKKA has decided (apparently) that they do not accept any other Commander. Which is sad. In this case, at least temporally, they will have to leave. I am sorry for them and for eRussia, but a Commander who does not understand the necessity to obey a military order is no acceptable.

The good news? Maybe we have a new Elite unit! Let us wait and hope.

RESISTANCE WARS

I recieved a protest from the Congress for the money spent in Resistance Wars... well... ok... let me start again.

I asked the Speaker of the Congress, by own initiative, "ehm... are you all ok with this resistance wars and the money spent on them?". Then we had a conversations which ended with a very friendly "warning" from NumbuS, telling me that my fears were justified and we cannot afford them.

I had written all my expenses in the correct sheets and was happily waiting for refund of the presidential account, after borges16 had told me who to do it. But now the system is apparenly more complicated and I was not accomplishing additional conditions set by the Congress (by Orda, apparently) - to write extra a message in a thread. Ok! I wrote it! Bilingual.

And now apparently some Congress people are outraged for my expenses! Some of them, not all of course. You know who.

Dear angry Congresspeople: Before you get outraged, in the moment that you get "a bit worried"... send me a message. If I can attend a guy who asks from me a loan of 20 Gold because he voted for me (this is a real case) with education and calmness... I *can* attend a Congressperson who writes me respectfully worried about my expenses.

I really can.

Promised.

So, the explanation in short:
- At 6. October I attacked Nord Norgue because it seemed a good idea: we activated no MPP, and our people could train a bit more (until the Norway RW ended).
- At 7. October PEACE could not tell me if there were going to be training wars. The spreadsheet they used was completely outdated and unclear about this. So, I started a RW and, surprise, the training war did came somehow later.
- At 8. October we started one just before the wargame ended.

All decisions were taken in the Ministry of Defense (the last in the General Staff), with no voices against it, and with everybody happy.

Now we got the warning - too much money spent, we cannot spend 30 Gold per day in letting you train all the time, we must restrict it to the PEACE wargames... which are free for us because we paid the start of that war, small Russian privilege and thanks to UncleDeD... every day it passes I understand him better, but no, we live now in a better State and I will not be another UncleDeD never. Still, the wish to say "f**k it, we do this and that and that was it" is of course sometimes there.

So: I am very sorry guys but... the Congress knows better (I guess) and they say that there is no money for this. Try to log in, in the correct moments. Of course the MoD will update its newspaper, so you all will be informed in Russian and on time.

A funny aspect has been to start a Resistance War and immediately fight against myself. Really crazy.

ARMY ORGANIZATION

I could establish the new General Staff and the new Ministry of Defense, according to what we agreed in the Cabinett: Nice! Some people went to one, some to the other, and some to both.

Then, I finally I could present reforms!

In the MoD I presented a reform of the criteria we use to calculate the kind of soldier we have. Instead of using only Strength (which is equivalent to antiquity) we should use the Force:

Force = (1 + Rank bonus) x Strength

This is the modificator of rank and strength of any of us when doing damage. It combines antiquitiy with dedication: the more dedicated to war that you are, the faster you increase your total damage in the profile, and the higher your rank is.

My proposal is: Force 8 for Regulars, and 12 for Elite. For example, Elite can be a Colonel (x1.2) with strength 10. Or a General (x1.4) with Strength 8.6.

That means: More regulars. And this is good. I will try to make a call to get a LOT of regulars! This is necessary. Even if we have to sink the salaries... 🙁 .

WAR PLANS

Now that we have a General Staff as I like it 🙂 , I could present various possible ideas for offensives, to get us out of this impasse.. But - there are no simple solutions, no easy targets who really deserve some punishment... and I do not attack a country just for the sake of it - "The Cossacks are nor pacifists, nor waremongers" - this is in the Cossack Manifesto and it is serious.

The legitimate targets are, hence, difficult and plans must be made carefully. I must be a bit unconcrete here, I am sorry but the enemy should not know what we are thinking.

We will use this time to perfectionate the Army to a mighty weapon.

REST

Well, the Cabinett meeting... the official article is not just with it, the debate about DOOSAF was very interesting and productive, and so was the conversation about the welcome message. I told sasha237 to be more detailed next time so please don't comment him that the articles are long! If you are not interested on something don't read that part! It is like this article, a wall of text the size of the end of a PEACE wargame (+3.000.000). You read what you consider interesting, and no more.

The black PR team amusing us all again with its attacks to me... I guess it is their way to get "lulz".

And some informal conversations about a Slavic Union. Officially unofficial ones, with some unofficial friends of unofficial people who I unofficially support. I hope I will have more time for this soon.

That was it!

Oh... I just saw the time in Moskow... ehm... good morning, when you read this! But maybe for some people is morning new already.... eRussia is big, and the Ataman is distant... 😃 😃
