That Time I Became A Dictator Of A Small Asian Communist Nation

[X] Heavy Industry
-[X] Design A Civilian Aircraft (Describe)
--[X] A small fertilizer plane or helicopter. Something that works well in a small area. Guangzhou isn't a huge island, so you don't need anything fast.
(5 - Optimal)
The new plane had a bit of a rocky start. Before being informed of the mistake, your assistant had chucked its initial design to the military department, who created a design intended to spray chemical weaponry on a large area. Thankfully, that awkward mistake didn't leak because explaining why you are making a plane for chemical weaponry would land you in hot water very fast. Though the military designs proved very capable of being adapted to a civilian model, only having to take out the weaponry and several features unneeded for civilian use.

[X] Agri-, And Aquaculture
-[X] Construct A Fertilizer Factory (Helpful) (-2 Reputation)
(6+1=7 - Optimal)
The new factory has been built and has started production on the same day, the workers within being reported to you as happy that they are helping their fellow workers. As a result, farming yields are projected to increase by around 20-30% within the next six months.

-[X] Clear Jungles For Farming (Helpful) (+1 People's Opinion) (-1 Reputation)
(10+1=11 - Boosted)
Though international eco-organizations have taken slight notice of your clearing of the jungles growing over those spots less likely to lose nutrition by farming, they could do little more than slightly amuse you by sending a few letters. So the clearing continued and ended as you had planned, with new farming spaces available for your people.

-[X] Increase Farming Space (Helpful) (+1 People's Opinion) (-2 Reputation)
(10+1=11 - Boosted)
Farming space was increased in the same tempo as it became available, with new acres of crops soon growing before the last of the lumber could be transported off to be worked into the houses and villages that will now provide the workers for the farming initiative. You can see the new fields from your windows, golden fields bordering fallow ones to be planted next season, framed by terraces of rice, with potatoes and other hardy crops growing in less fruitful locations.

[X] Secret Projects
-[X] Laufpanzer (Rename Pending) Armor Foundry (1/3 to produce Laufpanzer (Rename Pending))
(9 - Optimal)
The Iron Tige Armor Foundry has been established, slowly working out the mysteries of the armor that the Nazi Germany Scientists developed. Several plates have already been incorporated into prototypical designs for infantry body armor, though those have been more ramshackle and piecework than competent. Ordering the creation of professional armor for both your soldiers and police could be a worthwhile investment. It will accelerate the leaking of the secret, though.

[X] Wei Jungming - (RP)
--[X] Keep trying to find a significant other. You might have better luck this year.
(26)
You didn't have much time to focus on finding any suitable SO, though you did find two that, at least on the surface, seemed interested in the prospect. The first is Jing Mai, a soldier and bodyguard whose biggest strength would be her muscles and height. A strong wife for a strong man. The second is Mu Ji, one of the maids within the palace, notable for her small stature, cute face, and sense of order. She reminds you a bit of your mother.

[] Jing Mai, The Muscled Soldier (+2 Reputation, gain ??? Wife)
[] Mu Ji, the Small Maid (+2 People's Opinion, gain ??? Wife)
[] Keep Looking (Next attempt rolled with +26)

--[X] Plan a surprise tour of the new factories.
(55)
The visit went well, with several pictures of you or the various workers now adorning billboards and walls in a propaganda campaign to show the current efforts of you and the workers to increase food production.

--[X] Plan to visit either Beijing or Moscow, to consolidate recognition by either "communist" nations as an ally to the proletariat cause and possibly get either trade or investment from our comrades
(52)
Returning from your visit, you cannot help but smile as several dozen experts accompany you back, all for the fair price of naval drills and an expansion to your mining efforts.

--[X] Assign him an extremely attractive, swishy young man in a miniskirt as his personal liaison. Specifically, that one from the kitchens who you know will be delighted with the opportunity.

"Ah," you say, welcoming Zhao Chin into your office, "it is always a pleasure to see you! To what do I owe the pleasure?" The way his face barely remains polite instead of looking as if he had bitten into a sour lemon is just what you needed as a morale boost after a long day of work.

"Well, I have been sent several vital documents from the mainland for you to peruse regarding your various agreements with the government and instructed to give them in person," he returns, smiling pleasantly with a tiny tick in his left eye. Ooh, he is angry! This is getting better by the second!

"Thank you; I'll be sure to send them off without bothering you," you return, making his smile even more strained! "is there anything else," you add in a slightly dismissive tone, causing a tiny bit of anger to appear on his faltering poker face.

[] "In fact, yes. I will be reassigned."
He speaks, causing a tiny bit of surprise and sadness in you. It'll be sad to see him go; annoying the fucker was a favorite past-time of you for the last few years.

"While I am sad to see you leave," you diplomatically say, "I am happy for your promotion. To where, if you don't mind?"

"Apologies," Zhao Chin returns, "but that has not been told to me. If you'd excuse me?" He says, barely waiting for you to dismiss him before he walks out.

Not even a second later, a man in a miniskirt enters your office through the door to your bedroom. "Guess," Li Jia speaks, a shit-eating grin on his face, waving a manilla folder in one hand, "who managed to get the Chinese Encryption?"
[Gain: Chinese Encryption for 4(four) Turns, revealing their actions.]

[] "No, if you'd excuse me, I have paperwork to do."
He speaks before looking at the door to your bedroom with confusion as something bangs against it.

"I am decorating," you swiftly lie, waving his confusion off as he leaves your office. The banging swiftly returns, along with muffled laughter. Confused, you stand up and go to the door, opening it to see Li Jia wheezing against the doorframe.

"Oh, that is golden!" He gasps, grinning up at you as he slowly composes himself, holding up a manilla folder in one hand. "You should look at these codes, Sir," he says, handing you the folder before grinning wider. "Well, I should hurry," he says, swishing around, "I am his paperwork!" He adds with a wink at you.

-[] Militarists
--[] Find an older experienced general looking for expansion and can be trusted because they know the importance of OpSec! Let them in on the Mecha and Nazi secret. Let them look thru the blueprints and give a mech a test in the underground testing site. Once they are satisfied that the Iron Tigers are excellent and worthy (even if they need some modern weaponry and other upgrades), have them in charge. What personnel is assigned, how training will work, and how to handle them in your doctrine. AND THEIR FIRST DUTY IS TO SCRAPE, UNSCREW, BREAK OFF, AND SAND ALL SIGNS THESE BABIES CAME FROM NAZIES BEFORE A INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT OCCURS! So anyone they assigned to this can keep their eyes down and mouth shut. (+5 Reputation, +/-Allies)

Trusted because not only have they earned their fellow common workers respect, but your people did some background checks and confirmed trustiness and loyalty. Plus any blackmail, just in case. Upon that, you will reveal that you have come into the possession of potential machines that could increase mining output to an unheard-of degree while employing fewer people in dangerous jobs. As this is a long-term project, see what they can throw together in terms of requirements and equipment before throwing those at your (soon-to-be) Iron Tiger Research Teams. (+Allies)
