[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lhWNUCf.png[/IMG] [QUOTE]On the outskirts of Ash Shaddadi, an odd deal takes place; Voytek contractors, working under assumed aliases, contact the Smokkelaars Alliansie and arrange for a delivery of an odd cargo; Syrian civilians, mostly ethnic Kurds. The Alliansie and Voytek negotiators that oversee the deal say very little to one another, with the deal taking place largely in silence. The prisoners are bundled from an M113 APC of the Alliansie into a waiting HEMTT truck and are driven away once the money is exchanged; though the smugglers involved are confused, they refrain from complaining thanks to the generous sum of money paid for a mere handful of civilians, especially ones generally frowned upon by the rest of the population.[/QUOTE]

[T]https://u.pomf.is/yimxic.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]As the Khanate finally pulls itself from the pits civil war, the matter of the country's defense becomes a major topic. With a good chunk of their assets either destroyed, sold to their allies, or gone with the socialists, the Imperial Guard is in no shape to defend the country from a full-scale invasion. To address this, the Khanate has lowered the mandatory age of service from 18 to 16, and has stepped up its conscription drive. Rather than giving the men time to report for enlistment, the Imperial Guard sends a few officers to the person's home and carts them off whether they like it or not. Also to address the weaknesses of its severely under-strength military, the Guard has shifted the focus of its training from relying on overwhelming numbers to squad-level tactics, teaching each squad to function and make decisions on their own if the need arises.[/QUOTE] [T]https://u.pomf.is/nrfbgj.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]With the sudden surge in terror attacks around the globe, the Khan has become concerned with the possibility of an attack on Tunguskan soil. To this end, Tunguska has closed off its borders to all but its allies, and has greatly increased security along the border. The Tunguskan military had never given any thought to anti-air defenses, and so outdated Soviet SAM launchers liberated from an abandoned military complex are dusted off and brought back into service. [B]Meanwhile, in Belarus[/B][/QUOTE] [T]https://u.pomf.is/ezskqi.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]Since the last Legion troops withdrew from Baltian/Tunguskan occupied regions of Belarus, construction has been underway on a large wall to separate the new Tunguskan province of Nevelyki Dereva (or "Small Trees', so named because its forests are quaint compared to the great woods of Siberia) from the areas still under Legion control.[/QUOTE] [T]https://u.pomf.is/qgubml.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]With the Imperial Guard unable to spare any extra troops to defend Nevelyki Dereva, it falls to the local commanders to raise a defense force. Fearing a draft would spark a backlash in their new province, Tunguskan recruiters begin to incentivize the locals with promises of health benefits, a free education once their term of service is over, and adventure. These volunteer units come to be known as "bilyy polkiv" ("White Regiments") due to their predominantly Caucasian composition.[/QUOTE] [T]https://u.pomf.is/dewopl.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]In order to bolster the defense of Nevelyki Dereva, the Khanate turns to its allies for assistance. The Commonwealth has agreed to sell Tunguska its aging fleet of Leopard 1 tanks, as they are in the process of phasing them out with the more modern M1A1 Abrams. These are shipped to the troops in Belarus, and training with them begins immediately.[/QUOTE] [T]https://u.pomf.is/olyede.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]Many old villas left behind by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are commandeered and turned into garrisons for the Tunguskan troops.[/QUOTE] Before you ask why everything is in Ukrainian it's because the language of Tunguska is a dialect of Russian (this is intentional for the irony) and since I can't just make up an entire dialect of a language I can't speak then Ukrainian is the next best thing, as I imagine the two languages being very similar.

Over the last few years, the Khanate has had a difficult time feeding its burgeoning population. The lack of land fit for development means that the only major population center in the Khanate is Tunguska City, as the amount of food required to sustain another city would be more than Tunguska could afford to import. To solve this problem of overcrowding and food shortages, Baltian and Tunguskan scientists have been working tirelessly to develop new methods to turn Tunguska into a fertile agricultural paradise. Baltia has much farmland, and is more than happy to impart its knowledge onto their Tunguskan allies.[/QUOTE]
