An Analysis of Heilongjiang

Day 774, 11:55 Published in USA USA by Cody Franklin

Good afternoon, eRepublik. I'll dispense with the formalities today.

Heilongjiang - or, as most of us know it, Hellokitty. For those of you unfamiliar with politics and military strategy here in the eWorld, it may come as a surprise that we are attacking this region, once a Chinese province, now a Hungarian territory. A lot of uninformed Americans are asking "why", and I think it's important to ensure that the American public is rightfully informed as to the nature of the current invasion.

Economic Importance

One of the main reasons for this campaign is undoubtedly economic. If you look at the overview page for Hellokitty, you'll notice that this territory is a high iron region. In layman's terms, this means money. Lots of money. The impact of this is twofol😛

1. The U.S. is going for the jugular.

The fact is, Heilongjiang is the economic heart of Phoenix's military operations. If we can successfully capture this province, we can virtually bring the alliance to its knees, thus securing a quick, easy victory for both the United States and EDEN. Perhaps it is now understandable that capturing this province equates severing Phoenix's financial lifeline.

2. Money!

While this aspect of things is a bit less important, capturing this region will bring in massive amounts of revenue for the U.S.'s economy. With the profits brought about by iron production, we're definitely going to see a large increase on the value of the dollar; once again, we see just how important it is to break down the approximately-2,000,000-strong wall surrounding Fortress Hellokitty.

Overall, it's clear that capturing Heilongjiang will provide a slew of economic benefits to the United States and EDEN, on both a domestic and a foreign level. Having established the basic importance of this epic "clash of the titans", I urge you all to buy some weapons, or even retrieve some free weapons here or here, and go fight in Hellokitty. Even if you end up with minimal wellness, empty pockets, and make but a small dent in the massive Heilongjiang wall, you're doing your country a service, and you can be sure that this nation will repay you in full.

Strategic Importance

Though Hellokitty would be a significant economic jewel in EDEN's crown, ripping this province from Hungary's tight grasp would also yield a number of tactical advantages in the larger battle against PHOENIX.

1. Population

Again, I would have you refer to Heilongjiang's overview page. Notice that this province is home to approximately 6,000 civilians. Taking this province from PHOENIX would certainly boost our economy by forcing them to buy moving tickets, but the more important advantage afforded to us would be the removal of a large number of troops from our enemy's military, even if only temporarily. One of the main obstacles hindering us in our effort to take Heilongjiang is the sheer volume of soldiers that we've been pitted against; if, by a momentous effort on the part of our countrymen, we are able to claim this province for ourselves, we would be removing a thorn from our side, yes, but we would also be cutting vast numbers of soldiers off from friendly territory; I could explain the strategic advantage granted by this feat, but I feel that it's rather self-explanatory.

2. Hospital and Defense System

In case you weren't aware, Hellokitty is sporting both a hospital and a defense system, both of which are Q5. High population, high iron, and high defenses: you can see how desperate we have made our enemies. A lot of hard work has gone into the construction of these luxuries, and it will take even more labor on our part to tear down these accomplishments. Cutting Hungary off from Hellokitty will also cut off access to these necessities of war, making our job that much easier. Again, I needn't get wordy here - the fact is, taking away anything that aids Phoenix is automatically good from an American perspective.

Though Heilongjiang is one of the most important battles we've fought yet, we cannot forget that, looking at the bigger picture, we are still fighting a global war. Winning this struggle with the Hungarians gives us a supreme tactical advantage in this war by striking at the very core of the enemy's war effort - this is an advantage that we cannot afford to sacrifice, thus I again urge you to fight with everything you have.

Motivational Importance

In addition to the financial and military benefits of taking Hellokitty, we cannot forget the massive boost in patriotism and morale that come with a victory of this magnitude. We must all remember the days when nothing remained of the United States except Fortress Florida - when PEACE stood at our front door, attacking us in every way imaginable. The fact that we bounced back, taking back our entire country (and more) was nothing short of miraculous. We cannot forget that did for the American spirit. It is that same spirit which drives us now. Even as the Hungarians fight valiantly for their territory, we know that, ultimately, they will be no match for American ferocity. Winning this battle will give us the strength of resolve needed to continue our glorious campaign with the knowledge that nothing can stop us. We have every physical resource necessary to win this war; all that we need now is for the last piece to fall into place - for the wall to fall, and for all Americans to rejoice in their victory.

So, yes, winning the battle of Heilongjiang will benefit us economically and militarily, but it also benefits us mentally, as well. Winning this battle will make us an economic, military, and patriotic powerhouse. It will certainly make us worthy of the title of "superpower".

All of our momentum rests on victory in Hellokitty. With more sincerity than you could imagine, I urge you to stock up on weapons, find a gifting partner, get to a state with a Q5 hospital, and prepare to buy wellness boxes. All of these things will be needed to tear down the fortress that the Huns have built up. Every able-bodied American must be ready to go out and give everything they have for the glory of their country. Hopefully you're ready - ready to take their iron, their numbers, and their defensive advantages, and tear it all out from under them.

So, I hope that my analysis. has provided helpful information concerning the Battle of Heilongjiang. I've done my best to explain what we're up against, the importance of victory, and the rewards that we could reap, even if I did get a bit emotional there at the end; but, keeping the public informed is just that important.

Now go out, go fight, and go win.

And remember, though we're all die-hard American patriots, truth takes no sides.
