> Greetings, comrade!
> Welcome to the Iron Tiger Compound's Social Interactions Network. Every personnel in this facility is required to create their own account for work purposes. Additionally the terminals located around the base can also be used for social interactions via it's messaging function, hence the network's name.
> Please bear in mind that there are only a limited number of terminals available for use, so be mindful of time so as to give everyone a chance to use it. Furthermore, non-work related topics and communication is RESTRICTED TO LEISURE HOURS ONLY. Failure to comply will result in a reprimand.
> Repeat violations will result in more severe punishments.
> Management would also like to remind everyone of a few things:
> First, the conspiracy that your private communications are being monitored is just that, a conspiracy. The terminal network is meant to ensure confidentiality in an environment where such is to always be observed. There will be no more talk of this nonsense. Failure to comply will result in strict punishment, so don't even try. WE'LL KNOW.
> Second, permission has been asked and officially granted to hold the activity titled QUESTNIGHT, an online storytelling interaction that lets you choose how the story unfolds. Please consult the flyers on the noticeboards in the cafeteria and main hall for further details. Anyone interested should speak either with Dr. Henry Smith or Engineer Otto Bermann.
> Third, use of the terminals as a means of conducting illegal transactions and agreements involving monetary exchange and barter is a direct violation of the facility's rules. Should you receive any information or proof of any such act being conducted, please report to security immediately. All culprits will be strictly punished; the buying, selling and exchange of government property more so.
> Lastly, there have been rumors of the Great Leader using the terminal network as well under some anonymous identity. That is nonsense. The terminal network is restricted to the compound's resident personnel. The idea that the Great Leader is using some private terminal to go "sneak" around the forums is equally preposterous. There will be no more talk about this.
> That is all. We hope you make efficient use of the network and enjoy its features.
>
> Glory to Guangchou!
> ADMINISTRATION


abominable note: There's absolutely no way catgirllover69 is the Great Leader. Also, one of the ongoing quests in quest night is about running your own communist nation in Asia. 👀

im thinking that the laufpanzer electronics and communications tech gives a lot of new improvements to our nation's budding electronics and communications industry. Hence, Tigernet was born

[X] Light Industry
-[X] Improve Roads (Helpful) (+1 People's Opinion)
(11-1[Diluted Focus]=10 - Boosted)
One of the things that always irked you about the island was the lack of proper transportation infrastructure. Sure, you had roads that went between your cities and towns and the vital factories, with some villages also connected should they happen to be conveniently located for either industry or military access. But beyond that, most people had to do with gravel roads at best and dirt roads that became mud rivers when it rained at worst. Most had to do with packed dirt, which wasn't conducive to increasing the connectivity between any part that wasn't your capital, the harbors, and your military bases. But with your focus on improving agri- and aquaculture, ensuring farmers could transport produce with ease, or at least without much hassle, was something on your mind. And something the Technocrats had proven to be a (statistically) significant factor in the problems your nation faced, not only to feed itself but in many other aspects too. So, with a bit of money, some preparations, and efficient planning, the main roads were reinforced and patched up, connections to important resource hubs were created, and routes to farming villages and collectives received the attention they deserved. And while it may not have too much of an impact in the short term, transportation times are steadily decreasing across nearly every industry sector.

-[X] Design New Housing Concept (Design)
--[X] Increased energy efficiency
(9-1[Diluted Focus]=8 - Optimal)
While you are busy improving access to electricity, you have also grown conscious that you can't create infinite power from nothing. Ehm, you could, but China sure as shit ain't giving you a nuclear reactor, nor will the USSR. As such, you kicked the problem to your architects with the singular premise of making the most energy efficiency housing you could, currently, create. The results they came back with were not overly revolutionary, but they were nonetheless impressive. Further, they have developed two philosophies, one focuses on traditional small scale housing, writ large, while the other attempts to create large scale houses that can fit around two hundred people inside them while offering spaces for government services, distribution centers, an integrated office for police, and further saving in cost for heating, electricity, and space.

-[X] Improve Medical Infrastructure (Helpful) (+4 People's Opinion) (-1 Reputation)
(8-1[Diluted Focus]=7 - Optimal)
With the advent of receding malnutrition within the populace, you decide to double down on improving the people's health, as disease and accidents still plague many or leave them unable to work. By opening more clinics in remote parts of the island, promoting doctors, and expanding the courses for both them and nurses, a general increase in the capacity of your medical system has been initiated. Of course, it will take some time until the effects can fully set in, but the steps are made to start down the road of increasing the doctor ratio to 0.1 to 1.000 within a few years.

-[X] Increase Electrification (Helpful) (+2 People's Opinion)
(6-1[Diluted Focus]=5 - Optimal)
More homes are connected to the lines, with lights and electric conveniences springing up in those homes that drew favorable within the lottery. At the same time, more lines are carefully planned and erected over the months, a slow network of electricity beginning to snake around the island and connecting your cities and towns. Soon you should be able to begin a push towards the villages, but that will have to wait for some more years of effort.

[X] Heavy Industry
-[X] Construct A Geothermal Power Plant (Helpful) (+2 Reputation)
(8+2-1[Diluted Focus]=9 - Optimal)
The volcano in the eastern portion of your island may not be the most active one in the world, but it isn't dormant either! With some clever engineering, some finagling of the geysers, and a surprisingly low amount of deaths and injuries, your new geothermal powerplant soon stands, happily churning out power with the help of nature at no additional cost in coal as your other powerplants use. Quite efficient, if you do say so! Why people don't use that technology everywhere is something you don't understand; why use more coal and oil if you can use nature instead?

[X] Agri-, And Aquaculture
-[X] Create An Agriculture Institute (Twin Sickles Botanical Research Institute, Consolidate and Improve Upon Technocrat + China Knowledge) (+1 People's Opinion) (-3 Reputation)
(2+5-1[Diluted Focus]=6 - Optimal)
-[X] Create An Aquaculture Institute (Silver Pearl Marine Science Institute, Consolidate and Improve Upon Technocrat + China Knowledge) (+1 People's Opinion) (-3 Reputation)
(3+5-1[Diluted Focus]=7 - Optimal)
The Twin Sickles Botanical Research Institute and Silver Pearl Marine Science Institute both go up as a dual package science campus, with students able to live near or within the Institutes as they learn their respective branches of science. The dual approach has also already led to cross-discipline research in figuring out the effect one side has on the other by its lack or overabundance of certain species, plants, or conditions. Quite exciting stuff, even if you are pretty distracted by the amusing debates your scientists have with the Chinese ones, both arguing their points for hours before ending in screaming matches promising each other blood before going to their laboratories to prove the other wrong. You also particularly like how your foremost expert in the breeding of animals, Erika Suziho Fat-Kai, had a ten-hour screaming match with her Chinese counterpart and resolved the issue by taking her pet tiger (after clearing it with the faculty, you, and some additional security measures) with her to work ever since. Who knew that scientists could be so petty? Unfortunately, however, it seems that you have almost emptied the educated workforce, and it will take some time until you have enough scientists hungry and available enough for expansions of such an ambitious scale. Or try and create a school system that isn't in utter shambles. Or near to, you may be a little too harsh due to personal experiences.

[X] Social
-[X] Marry Jing Mai (+5 Reputation) (+5 People's Opinion)
(2+4-1[Diluted Focus]=5 - Optimal)
The marriage was a whole load of stress for the both of you, as every single part either crashed into your workloads, some part of your security details were freaking out about a "dangerously undefended/foolish aspect" in your plans, or the stressful minutia of the whole thing. You didn't even know General Su Ji was allergic to peanuts! Or that Jing Mai's younger brother could not stand anywhere near tulips! And you don't even want to think about the hassle that was the guest list! So many needed to be invited and then placed according to rank, prestige, political happenings, favors, activities, personality, food preferences, and (though you enjoyed that part) how much you wanted to snub them. But in the end, you'd like to think it was worth it as you were declared husband and wife under the law, with you both kissing to the cheer of everyone. The day of celebration with free luxury ration and food certainly helped you with your popularity from the people!

-[X] Have the Nationalists look into trade regarding your fishing and other agricultural trade goods with other nations. Primarily where the value of our goods can net us a larger quantity of food coming in than going out to feed our people. (-1 Reputation)
(5-1[Diluted Focus]=4 - Subpar)
Trading one good for another in larger quantities is a well-understood concept among humanity. Doing so in a manner that profits one side exclusively is an artform the US has perfected, but trading one good for the same, but in more significant quantities, is a whole other matter unto itself. However, with the flare-up in the Vietnam War, you are sure that you can finagle some precious materials and goods from North Vietnam in exchange for canned food, upon which you'll exchange those gained materials into more food from other nations. Of course, it will run the risk of getting the US agitated or interested in you, but you can claim (rightfully) to trade food and not war materials so that the risk may be low. Other alternatives, such as trade with African Countries, could be pursued, but you are hesitant to follow those, as it feels too much like retreading the imperialist's paths.

-[X] Iron Tiger Electronics Manufacturing (1/3 to produce Iron Tigers)
(3+4-1[Diluted Focus]=6 - Optimal)
While the massive underground facilities were rapidly modernized and brought up to date with safety measures, teams of cleaners went over every single blueprint and machine to scrub, sand, grind off or remove any hint of the electronics being from Nazi Germany, its efforts, or those that had subscribed to its ideology. During one of your visits to the facility, you noticed something rather unusual and soon were amazed by the device some engineers had cobbled together in their spare time. Granting them the time and resources they said were required soon resulted in a computer network springing up within your Iron Tiger Compound, connecting over two hundred terminals into one single "network," as the engineers called it. Using a "software" they (cheekily) called WEISOFT, it proved to be an absolute marvel at increasing the speed and quality of work! What stunned you was that technically speaking, such a network doesn't have any upper limit, meaning that you could connect the entirety of Guangchou with such a network to improve upon... anything, really! Also, upon further, hushed inquiry across the globe and your allies, it seems that, in terms of computational power, your electronics are equal to the current cutting edge! WHAT IN ALL FUCK DID THESE NAZIS SMOKE TO CREATE THESE ELECTRONICS?!

--[X] Personal Actions
---[X] Personally vet the bodyguards that will be assigned to Jing Mai and our future children. After they make it through the intel department's inspections, of course.
----[X] Invite Mai along if she'd like. She's probably more qualified for this anyhow.
(93)
...holy shit, you wanted bodyguards, not another special operations unit! Well, you have them now, so you'll have to get used to them. Other than your wife designing a ruthless course of tests to bring out the best of the best within the candidates for both of your protection, you are pretty sure that the military at large has taken notice and altered the training of your spec-ops teams. You are just glad that you don't have to go through the gauntlet!

---[X] Conduct a surprise inspection of our recently created navy.
(17)
During the hectic with your wedding and the excitement of WEISOFT, you didn't manage to do more than a cursory visit of the navy and listen to their complaints, praise, and see some of the newest recruits. It was nice, but not what you wanted out of the trip.

--[X] Lover Action
---[X] Bring an army jacket, miniskirt, handcuffs, and tiger ears to your honeymoon and let her do what she likes.

The Guangchou Institute of Sexual Science has two sections performing their trade in total anonymity among the services offered. One of those was the section that, upon inquiry, would set out contraceptives for free, with no questions asked or any personal contact needed by either those seeking the contraceptives or those giving them out. Your father explained it as "people having a right to their own body, and how they have children. Besides, the growth of our people has grown ever since that section started its operation." Which you can't say anything against, having the figures delivered to you every second Thursday of the month. People having a say in when they have children has a measurable effect in decreasing teen pregnancy and how many healthy babies are being born. But the other section was (currently) of more interest to you, namely because it, also anonymously, sold "marital aids" in all forms you could think up. When you asked your father, he shrugged and said, "People will want those things, so why not provide them and profit?" While you disagree with the last part (you changed the pricing to be neutral, earning as much as it costs to make the items in hours, work, and materials), you cannot argue that the service is being used. Though you didn't think you'd be using it so soon. Nevertheless, after Mai professed her interests and likes within the bed to you, you knew what you had to do. Ordering a complete set of the #1 requested costume, a "Female Military Uniform," and some "handcuffs" took little time, and they all arrived in time for your honeymoon too! However, there was a slight complication after your wedding, as you decided to wear all of the above combined. The following two hours proved to be the scariest, yet horniest and entertaining, hours of your life. However, her smile and happiness the week after alone would have more than made up for walking weird for two days after that. Her following up with more "tiger-time" was just the icing on the cake.
