London, England
Winston Churchill had heard of these Armored Cars nad their Effectiveness. But he remained skeptical, especially when he heard of the unsuccessful test in Italy. So he went to a meeting to learn about these tanks called the Mark I. He was impressed. Sure there were bugs but if used properly it could be a devasting weapon. It had to be implemented, it could save British Lives in this War against Germany.
He had gotten approval to set a commitee to make a prototype and test it. Unfortunately he had 2 months to have it completed. So Churchull had an Uphill battle to fight.

The greek prime minister sends a telegram telling the Church Hill that the unsuccesfull tests where sucessfull. We just did not want anybody to know it. The Fiat was successful and has seen many battles. Killed thousands of enamies and kept lots of soldiers from dieing. Greece will send reasurces of any kind if they are needed. Also know that we support the building of these tanks.

The prototype of the Mark I has been built. After successful trials at Hatfield Park in January 1916, where the tank crossed a 9ft. wide trench with a 6ft. 6in. parapet, it was decided to demonstrate the new tank to Britain's political and military leaders. Under conditions of great secrecy, Lord Kitchener, Secretary of State of War, David Lloyd George, Minister of Munitions, and Reginald McKenna, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, are invited to Hatfield Park to see Mark I in action. We shall see if they are impressed with it or not.

After the showinig of the Mark I Lord Kitchener was unimpressed describing tanks as "mechanical toys" and asserting that "the war would never be won by such machines". Although without military experience, David Lloyd George and Reginald McKenna saw their potential and have ordered 100 tanks to be made immediately for use in Europe. The plans are being given to factories in Africa so they can produce around 25 for use there.Ooc: I gues I should have an Image of the Tank so here it is.  IC: The Mark I is Armed with two Naval 6-pound guns. This gives it an advantage that some other tanks do not have. Although there are problems liek regarding fuel but we think we can get past that. David Loyld George congratulates Winston Churchill for his fine eye in seeing useful technology and asks hiim to procced in developing even better Tanks.

OOC: Yeah I realised that after posting. I just ran my eyes through it quickly and didn't really read it. I saw "The Mark I and Churchill", so I thought he was talking about both tanks. lol, oh well. |

Ooc: It's all right I see what you mean. I'm not going to make the Winston Tank of course.
Um also since there isn't a France anymore what happens to their tanks? Can we say some scientists who were working on are now working for you or they escaped somewhere and are presnting it to some other country.
