So I made once again three plans. One focused on diplomatic overtures to the Czech and Germans and promises for the farmers, one focused on anti Soviet diplomacy with the Baltics and Romania as well as expansion of reserves and the officer pool, and one focused on diplomatic overtures to Scandinavian and Baltic countries and creation/expansion of research institutes in Poland.
[] Diplomacy West and First Promises to the Peasants + Development
-[] 20 Leadership, Czech trade agreement: If there is one thing that the Czech are famous for it is their pragmatism(and their bear). While they may not love us, another avenue for exports to the wide world will be deeply appreciated by their state and their companies especially during a time period so heavily marked by the protectionism of great powers. While there are few resources Poland may offer the industrial powerhouse of Czechoslovakia, except for fabrics from Lodz, grain and maybe some chemicals in the future, there is a lot the Czech are able to sell to us. Machine tools from Skoda, trucks from Skoda, cars from Skoda, guns from Skoda, artillery from Skoda, tanks from Skoda, coal not from Skoda, but one of the cheapest in the world and bear(worse than Polish obviously). All of it make Czechoslovakia an important trade partner for our republic especially as all the equipment manufactured by their heavy industry can be used to speed up our own industrialization.
-[] 20 Leadership, German Overtures: The existence of Poland were always a problem for the Germany after ww1, regardless if the Germans are democratic or authoritarian at any given moment. However our western neighbor is in no state to press their claims to our territories or any other territories for that matter and is quite busy with their internal problems and restrictions put upon it under the conditions of the treaty of Versailles. We can use it and attempt to end the endless trade war between our two nations. It would give us some peace of mind in the west as well as ease the economic strain of maintaning high tariffs on German products. The Germans in turn would benefit by getting more legitimacy for the regime of Herr Hitler, making their economic growth easier thanks to the new markets and by proving to the west that the Nazi's rhetoric was just that, rhetoric. Win, win.
-[] 20 Leadership, 6IC Rural Infrastructure Development: Promises made, promises kept. Our government has promised to improve the material situation of farmers across the Republic. In order to do it properly a comprehensive survey of the needs need to be made and a plan based on it needs to be created. Once the preparations are complete, let's start the work.
-[] 30IC Central Industry: With the end of our efforts in the North and sudden increase in available industrial capacity, it is only proper to resume proper funding for the most crucial development projects.
-[] 15IC Infrastructure: No one argues about the need to improve Poland's infrastructure, but while the roads and rails serve the overall economy, they do not provide as immediate benefit as the construction of the new industrial heartland and as such need to be deprioritized.
[] Diplomacy North and Research + Development
-[] 20 Leadership, Baltic Nations and Finland: All countries bordering the Soviets share a common enemy. Let's use it especially in light of recent revelations to create a closer bond between our nations. While immediate agreement for a mutual defense treaty is unlikely. Let's build to that though trade and openhanded relations while attempting to ignore our previous misunderstandings with especially Lithuania.
-[] 20 Leadership, Scandinavia(mostly Danmark and Sweden): There are dozens of reasons to maintain a friendly relations with the Nordic countries, but they all go down to trade. Which in case of our maritime one has to go through the Baltic sea, a sea that Danmark can close if it so desires (especially considering our unfriendly relations with the Germans which prevents usage of the Kiel Canal), a sea on which the Swedish navy has a full supremacy over. However these country are famously neutral in the global politics and as such no much is needed for them to reaffirm their neutrality and agree to a formal trade agreement.
-[] 20 Leadership, 6IC Research Institutes: There are dozens of research institutes in Poland. Some of these delve into chemistry other into public health, but there is always room for improvement. Let's streamline their efforts by putting them all under the aegis of one central institution, expand their budgets, allow for public - private partnerships, improve patent protections laws and their enforcement and in general make the environment for innovations more friendly for innovators, something made so much easier after the recent overhaul of the bureaucracy. All of it will defiantly improve our technological situation.

-[] 15IC Infrastructure: No one argues about the need to improve Poland's infrastructure, but while the roads and rails serve the overall economy, they do not provide as immediate benefit as the construction of the new industrial heartland and as such need to be deprioritized.
[] Diplomacy East and Officers + Development
-[] 40 Leadership, Anti Communist Alliance of the east: There are 6 nations which will be always under threat of communist aggression. These are Finland, Estland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. All of these countries had at least some part of their territory controlled by the now defunct Russian Empire, and the Soviet see themselves as the direct successor state of said empire and claim all territories previously belonging to the Russians. One may try to claim that it is all in the name of international workers solidarity and that all nations receive a degree of autonomy under the Soviet rule, but even if it is true no one want to lose their independence, and the recent actions of the Soviets put under question any claims to such solidarity and the supposed pure intension of the communist regime. As such it is only proper for the nations under threat of Soviet invasion to bund together to ensure maximum of resistance against the Soviet attacks. Let's have our diplomats start with trade and non-aggression treaties at least, but put the focus on the need for a comprehensive defense treaty between all parties involved.
-[] 20 Leadership, 6IC Reserves: The number of soldiers our country can call to war in a rapid fashion is abysmal compare to the total population. This problem has two components: lack of soldiers and lack of weapons ready for mobilization. To eliminate the first problem the government will establish a series of programs in our educational institutions focused on training reserve officer in addition to normal curriculum which could be quickly mobilized in case of war. The problem of lack of training for lower rank reserve personnel will be handled by boy scouts and girl scouts units which exist since 1911, but can be further expanded and give something to do for idle teens without work. Once the teens reach 18 years of age they along with members of reserve officer training programs can join the Polish Home Guard a basic infantry like formation with rudimentary training(once a month) and minimal salary, but always ready for potential mobilization. The second problem will be handled by setting up a series of weapons depots across the country in such a way that every county would have the ability to mobilize its local population.
-[] 30IC Central Industry: With the end of our efforts in the North and sudden increase in available industrial capacity, it is only proper to resume proper funding for the most crucial development projects.
-[] 15IC Infrastructure: No one argues about the need to improve Poland's infrastructure, but while the roads and rails serve the overall economy, they do not provide as immediate benefit as the construction of the new industrial heartland and as such need to be deprioritized.
