Indochinese Military
The 3rd Divisions of the Indochinese Regulars are armed with a musket. They are issued a uniform similar to the Greek Regulars. They are also issued a bag full of ammo in the classic paper roll that you pull with your teeth and then load down the barrel along with a bayonet and a backpack with a shovel. They are paid in script that they can use in special army stores that sell a number of items. They are promised with sovereignty and money equal to the time they spent in the army when they leave. They are paid some .15 cents a week and given rations and board. In the next three years, these men are going to trade in their muskets for rifles.
The 1st division is issued rifles, Mosin Nagants to be exact. They where a uniform like the other divisions and are also given a bayonet and backpack, they are given ammunition and a helmet. Some of these men will learn how to operate artillery and others will learn how to lead and become officers. These troops are paid .20 a week.
The 2nd division will be armed with rifles captured from the French. They will be armed similarly to the first division.
With in each division are ten trench mortars. Along with the mortars each division has with it at least two machineguns, the First Division has five machine guns. The First Division will have about five light pieces of artillery similar to what the Greeks use. There are 20,000 Indochinese in each Division and three Divisions in the each army. There are three Indochinese armies that will be raised in all.
We are going to build a river fleet of about 10 ships. These ships will create a nice amount of safety in the river areas.
Indochinese Government
As for sovereignty, we will start the construction of the Indochinese government as soon as we capture Hanoi. This government will be made up of men with good leadership qualities. This government is going to gain a little more power till they run the whole country. This will happen in about eight years.
Money Making:
The Greeks will make money by selling the access rice to other nations and clear cutting parts of the forest and selling the lumber cheaper then the normal price to lumber companies. The rice farms will be given more modern agricultural equipment to increase the production of their farms. Coal located in the north will be mined with more modern and proper equipment also. Tin, copper, zinc, nickel and tin will be used to help create a nice solid base for the economy.
The Coal and Iron will be used to make steel and this steel will go to a variety of places to do many different jobs. The steel will be exported and used in factories built locally to build muskets and Mosin Nagants. Tin will be used to create plates, bowls and cups to sale to the Indochinese.
We will build a variety of different factories. These factories will use local steel and wood to produce muskets and mosin rifles. We will also start building tools to work on the farms with. This includes both hand tools and machinery. We will set up logging camps and lumber mills to make a good amount of timber for use and sell.
The Greek Government will pull about 50 percent of all profits made from this country. The rest will go in to the military and the economy to build more factories and expand its industry. This creating even more profit.
We see the problem of Laos not having many rail lines. We are going to build some 90 miles of rail in Laos and connect them to rail lines in Vietnam. We are also going to run telegraph lines through Laos to keep some better communication between cities. Laos will be set up with a large amount of tin mines. These tin mines will be able to produce a large amount of tin-ore with in time.
We believe these modernizations will be done with in the next four years if we can do it efficiently and right. In Northern Vietnam and Northern Laos we are going to build rail lines to move resources from one place to another.
We are also starting to put in a proxy government to “run” the country.
