Belgian thanks the Greeks for their genoricitey. Belgian has many ships getting ready for launch, and the two ships from the Greeks will make a fine addition.
OCC: Ill get around to posting the Navy and Airforce later. Also expect to see infantry numbers rise.

Hey Belgain what's your population? You have over 2 million men. Know i don't now if they are logistics included but that does seem a bit much for such a small nation like Belgium.

OCC: If you'll notice, I have 370,000 BELGIANS in the armed forces. The latter half, the Foriegn Legions are made up of native Congo-ians, supplemented by small portions of Belgian troops. The large recruitment is so high, simply because once war breaks out, a large number of the soldiers will simply dessert. Thus, I am supplemeting this by attempting to improve life of the soldiers and their families. Of course, all of this is outlined in my posts elsewhere. With some countries pushing 600,000 troops without a draft, some of which as smaller then me, I think 370,000 + logistics is a very fair number.

OOC: The artillery numbers are quite high; the largest artillery bombardment in military history in one battle was only about 1,200 artillery peices in the battle of Verdun I believe. Also, there is no way in hell you would be able to recruit that many Congolians. If you gave them guns they would have the power to just turn against you and start a hudge ass rebelion. Which would happen with a force that big.

OCC: Reduced artillery numbers. Also, I have my argument here. While you all build your navies of ridiculous proportions, I have only produced them as to protect my homeshores, and the lack the naval capactiy to project power. Instead, I invested them into the country of Congo, attempting to raise the standard of living.
Congo was also one of the more complacent colonies as well. Seeing as I have poured my money into Congo, I think it fair that I have an army of resonable size. Secondly, those numbers represent both logistical forces and fighting forces. I meant to modify them, but haven't had much time. I just wanted to at first represent my total enlistments there. Thus, I think my numbers are most resonable.

OOC: Yes your numbers may be reasonable, but what I ment was it was unrealistic. In real life you would never give that many random Congolians guns; why? Becuase they would revolt and just start a hudge ass rebellion taking back the Congo. The Congolian army is greatly outnumbering the Belgium forces, they would never fight for Belgium. Realisticly I think someone should RP out their rebellion. And they wouldn't really become an effective fighting force in a matter of a couple weeks. Esspecialy if they are from the country you are occupying. Like I said, you might be able to conscript a few hundred or mabey a couple thousand at the most. And then they couldn't be trusted to fight on the front lines. They would be guards. |
