Yurken, Capitol of Cignus

It has been 2 days since the peaceful first contact between Cignus and the elven villagers. However, they have made no progress at all, considering they are still in the process of attempting to decipher each other's language.

Meanwhile, Oliver wanted to meet the villagers upon learning there were fantasy creatures inhabiting that place, with elves on top of that pumping his blood really high, but he had been blocked by Nathan and his several subordinates from doing so considering the threat of the unknown world. They only managed to convince him due to the apparent language barrier between the two factions. As a result, he is currently buried in paperwork for his new job and has yet to officially call for a provincial meeting other than appointments to discuss personal matters.

"I don't know if it's easy or not. Should I just put my signature right? " Oliver looks at his work load where he is little confused. It's not as hard as he initially expected. "I guess even clowns and corrupt officials know how to run a government because it's easy as heck. You just need to sign or veto any papers and that's it."

He sorted papers one after another, reading several of them before deciding whether to approve or reject them. "Mandatory conscription, really? Someone really proposed this? Then what will we use to equip them? Kitchen knives? Gosh, we have only a little over 900 spare guns and they are still thinking of mass producing soldiers without proper equipment, Rejected. "

The inventory of Cignus Government Units has over 142,000 guns, of which 80,000 are rifles, shotguns, machine guns, snipers, and such, and the remaining are just pistols. With over 56,000 reserved and active personnel of the Legrand Army, not including the Cignus National Guard of 15,000 strong and a police force of over 11,800 in the region, that's how large the current force is, but they don't have the industrial capacity to sustain their current force and if their spare parts of their guns, ammunition, aircraft, ships, and vehicles run-out, then they are as good as useless scrap metal.

"Next is? Delay the process of decommissioning of outdated tanks? Hey, this isn't the work of the provincial office. What the f-? " And now, due to the disappearance of the central government and lack of contact with the headquarters of Legrand Armed Forces, the current 10th Infantry Division, 7th Rocket Battalion, 69th Mobile Artillery Battalion, 4th Armored Cavalry, 18th Airborne Battalion, 73rd Marine Landing Battalion, 14th Fighter-Bomber wing, elements of 51st Tactical Airlifter, 10th Maritime Patrol group, and 21st Light Transport Wing, 6th Air Calvary, 62nd Aggressor Squadron, 8th Flight of 444th Special Aggressor Squadron, and a small portion of VII Flotilla are currently coordinating and cooperating with the provincial office at full power. Thus, this gave birth to their request being poured towards the office of Oliver despite the fact that it should be passed to the central government or the headquarters of the Legrand armed forces.

"It's M48 and M60? I don't remember buying or producing this type of tank. Where the hell did it come from? If I remember it right, I only bought a large bulk of T-62 and T-72 in service, but I don't remember buying this kind of American stuff other than M1 Abrams as mainstay tanks in service. Not only that, it's over 70 of them? To be honest, that's a large number and a waste if I scrapped them, but do we even have the spare parts to make them running? "

Currently, the tank force of Cignus are comprises of a mix of Eastern and Western tech. 260 T-62 and T-72 are in service as frontline tanks, with M48 and M60 numbering 73 as reserved force, not counting the 36 T-62 of the Cignus National Guards armored platoon and 16 M1A1 Abrams of the Legrand Marines.

However, Oliver is still confused by the setup. Due to their slow speed, he never bought Pattons tanks in service, instead opting to buy cheap and easy to mass produce T-62 and T-72, including the slightly more expensive M1A1 Abrams, which comprise nearly 6,000 tanks of the Legrand Army's 61,000 tank force, with 50,000 T-62 and T-72 dominating their armoured muscle.
