Guys no. We don't have the people for a full invasion.

Many of our generals left so we only have a couple of people with any actual experience. Trying to do a full invasion will explode in our face as we try to grapple with the logistical challenges.
Edit:

That's the thing the disloyal have already left.

I meant we need to identify within our military the loyal and effective leadership necessary to build strong foundations around. Hence a probing reprisal.

2078; First Challenges

    • First Challenges
    ​
    Overview: President El-Harar sent aides flying left and right, his stream of consciousness policies being hastily written upon pads, scrap papers, and whatever was available. This information was then organized, digitized, and distributed across the land. As with all things it was not immediate, taking time as ideas turned to law. But the first result to arise was Egyptian sons and daughters hugging and kissing their loved ones goodbye as they had orders to march West. Elements of the Northern Military Region, some fifteen hundred mobile infantry, descended upon the porous Libyan border. Crowds gathered, silent and worried, as Egyptian columns moved through. Until gunfire sent people running and screaming, seeking only to live through the modern nightmare of warlordism. The specific warlord in question, based in Al Jaghbub, was captured and brought to Egypt for trial, his base and resources burnt. The columns continued on, with the pirate colony in Bardiyah and militia around Qasr al Jady exercised and power returned to the locals. A further joint action by Egyptian special forces and the Airforce destroyed a half dozen planes and helicopters based out of the occupied Marshal Haftar Airbase outside Adam. The President and his few generals were content with their progress, until rockets launched from Tobruk landed at the Qas al Jady barracks occupied by the Egyptians, killing four troopers and injuring another seven.

    Prior to the breaking news regarding the Tobruk rocket attack, domestic affairs were the topic of the town. The civil service, the lifeblood of government, had engaged in a shuddering change. Competent loyalists and corrupt officials were equally removed, and the replacement rate couldn't maintain employment levels. Public services slowed to a crawl, especially in areas like the Department of Transportation which was filled with appointees, and the Egyptian Tax Authority which was a noted hotbed of corruption. Shuttering government services, combined with the discontent of these newly unemployed people, seeded growing calls for an initial election, to be held as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the civil service was no longer a respite for the morally impaired or corrupt. Social media reports of thieving officers or recording of smoky rooms plotting office coups all but disappeared.

    Unfortunately, issues arose in the economic programs. It was initially successful, rebuilding infrastructure throughout the nation, expanding jobs in nationalized industries such as healthcare, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. However a combination of swelling personnel costs, shrinking taxation rates, and shrinking sources of loans from friendly Egyptian banks caused the Keynesian engine to stutter. This is all made worse due to the expensive munitions expended by the military against their Libyan foes; which the generals urgently required to be replaced. It got so bad that it threatened to cause the draw down of the program as a whole. This limited the effectiveness of the projects, though the silvery-smooth tongue of the president ensured that he was not entirely blamed for the failures of his initial promises. While the efficacy of Egyptian taxation would increase over time, there must be a more timely solution in order to maintain the project as it currently exists.

    As the new year approached, Egypt's honeymoon period seemed broken. The weight of state was a mighty yoke upon those that led.

    Vote:

    Hold an Election in the new year?
    [ ] Yes; it is needed to further strengthen our mandate.
    [ ] No; the nation needs to continue to be led by the President on behalf of all Egyptians!

    Response to Tobruk
    [ ] Ignore the attack, there are more important things to do than engage with anarchists and bandits.
    [ ] Reprisal; an eye for an eye. The Egyptian state will not tolerate hostile action. Another warlord joins the pyre.
    [ ] Full Reprisal; for one eye we take ten. The Egyptian state will ensure Tobruk is pacified.
    [ ] Occupation; the peace will be kept in Libya from Tobruk on East by the barrel of Egyptian guns.

    Financing the El-Harar Work Policy [Plans can include multiple entries here]
    [ ] Seek international financing, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund could easily provide the loans.
    [ ] Seek friendly foreign funding. Although tying ourselves to [write in] may be embarrassing, it will pay for the project for a couple years.
    [ ] Begin printing funds; the best way to pay for the project is ensuring everyone can be paid. Printer goes brrrrr.
    [ ] Shrink the scope of the project; it means more unemployment but it's keep the treasury afloat.
    [ ] Begin privatization of the project; taking on such a momentous task was a mistake, sell off the most profitable assets to encourage private growth, whilst keeping all others.

    I think we should hold an election. Even with our setbacks, we're still running off revolutionary fervor so we should be able to win the election handily. It will further endear ourselves to the people who have been wanting elections for a while. However, we should definitely analyze who our opposition will be; I wouldn't be opposed to censorship or banning of powerful counter-revolutionary parties.

    We definitely ought to respond, but the proportionality of the response depends on what we decide in regards to finance. At the bare minimum, we should do a regular [ ] Reprisal, but if we can secure multiple sources of funding, we should consider a []Full Reprisal. At the moment, []Occupation isn't an option due to costs, but it's something that should definitely be considered later on as we resurrect Pan-Arabism.

    We definitely should pursue funds from friendly nations. China is the first nation that comes to mind that could give us support without much commitment, though India might also be an option (if they were at all interested in financing us without too much concessions, that is). Shrinking the project or privatization are completely contrary to our goals, while printing funds is just asking for trouble. International financing is a potential option if we're really desperate, but we really should shy away from giving international finance a hook into our country, especially after we just nationalized our industries.

    India was on the upswing I think, and not involved in a Cold War style geopolitical rivalry. Alright they are, but Pakistan is not and never has been a superpower.
