Greece's Military

[Greece]

Today will be a great turning point in the war in Norway. The greeks are going to send more supplies and more troops.

[Greece]

The Future officer program:

The future officer program is where 16 and 17 year old boys shadow generals to see how command is done. They go through basic trainning and later at 18 become officers.

[Greece]

Today we used our extra crews to recommission all Gunboats and Torpedo boats decommissioned after the first fall of Greece. The new Reserves are being retrained as navy men.

[Greece]

The Greeks are using it's newly found Economic strangth to build 6 new gunboats. These will serve other purposes other then Greek navy.

[Greece]

We speeded the time of building the gunboats by using some wood instead of medal on several diffrent parts.

[Greece]

The following is being scrapped

Armored cars 11
Fiats 4

Refits:

It’s no secret that some of the Greek ships are aging. The coastal Defense ships are going in to dry dock. They are to be refit and modernize with modern guns. They will undergo inspection and be repaired. Any sign of decay will be met with a team of repairmen. These ships will be in the best shape so they can perform there duty.

It’s no secret that the Gunboats are getting old. You can just look at them and tell that. They will be stuck in dry dock after the defense ships. The damn British and French who built the gunboats used improvised materials. Wood was used instead of steel in some places. That means that we have to go in and fix it. The guns to are getting a little old and some need replacing.

Most of the newer ships don’t need any replacement parts. Except for some of the cruisers but that will come later.


The army needs big improvements. The weapons have been examined and they lack standardization. When you have 200,000 troops standardization is hard to do when you don’t have the weapons to do it. Now that we have been building Mosin Nagants nonstop for almost year standardization should be no problem. Every man will be given a mosin rifle, the Greek built ones, and they come standard with a bayonet. They will also be given a sidearm a model 1892 revolver. Since it was given to a “private” company the market is flooded with them. There packs are standardized unnecessary equipment is taken for scrapping. Needed equipment is issued to the troops.

Armored Vehicles have big problems, the engines and underbodies are checked for damaged and are repaired if need be. The plating is examined and armor is replaced if it needs it. Old plates are being sent back to Greece for melt down in to new products. Airplanes are checked over to make sure that they are in tip top shape.


Edit:

The Greek navy is coming in for the modifications stated on the tech thread along with mantence and repairs. Every seamen is working on the ships beside the mantanice people. Some of the ships are easy to rig up then others. The storkeys can be refitted within a day or two. The pieces are already made and are shipped to the boats for attachment. The ships not being modified are being repaired and peices that need replacing are replaced. Everything above the waterline is cleaned and the guns are swabbed out with a brush.
The whole navy except for the Fusos can be done in about 8 weeks because the stuff is minor and most of the ships are new. The Spartan Class will take about 6 months for there modifications and are pulled totally out of water.

I want to say, my god my spelling sucked. Why did nobody ever tell me?

[Germany]

Yes, I believe we tried to inform you many times but you kept getting mad at us, or something like that.

I was pretty nubby back in the day too.

[Great Britain]

Gah, I can't believe how I was in this RP. Argh I cold hit myself. My spelling was atrocious. But I'm still suprised at the amount I knew back then, I guess I underestimate myself too much.

(Sigh) I wish this Rp would open again. It was fun. And now that I'm older, ahve my political ideals set and myknowledge expanded I would like to give this a try. But no, I can't. No matter how much I will it, this rp may never open.

I must say thank you, all of you. This was a fun expierence for me that to this day, practically 2 years after doing this I still look back and remember the days I did this and smile. When my computer fired and refused to work after I moved back to Italy I was rather sad. But recently when it was fixed, I saw an old link I had to this site, and without sidetracking wen timmdiately to this sight and smiled.

Again my friends thank you for this wonderful memory. This rp will remain one of the best I've done in my life.

I was in contact with the guy who played Italy, but I lost contact with him so long ago.
