Hey, they're inflating their name by using part of Guanghou's full name!
Yeah, stabilizing the 2nd world / converting more of the 3rd world is not an optional feature. We need to do the former to prevent western adventurism, and we need to do developmentalism in the later case in order to actually prosper in the long term.
I believe we've sent diplomatic envoys to (checks notes) Afghanistan. It's important to realize that not all communist powers are directly aligned with the USSR. Cuba for instance was on track to become the head of the Non Aligned Movement before they backed the Soviets over Afghanistan in the OTL.

They push by numbers, from the back to the front. Also locking mechanisms...probably.

I believe that the rounds at the top prevent the rounds below from coming up, so it would empty the rearmost well first, then the second rearmost, etc.
edit: Look at how they're numbered.
And to be fair to HK, these rounds were hella insensitive so they don't cook off from residual heat, so they're pretty safe to store this way.

Yeah, we have to at least make sure that China maintains enough critical infrastructure that it can bounce back in a reasonable timeframe.
Could I convince you to add transportation or cyberdization as another focus besides healthcare?
We did so last plan, and having the +1 to those would help since we're likely to do booth dragon rail stuff and supercomputers within the first 4 turns.

Perhaps the square cartridges would fare differently, but I distinctly recall most of the LMG concepts that used a row of magazines or clips that fed in the same way that I've seen on Forgoton Weapons were plagued with mechanical issues.CyberEnby has started talking to me about bullpup guns, and we (by that I mean me, and me alone) somehow ended up with this below:
Yes, that is a solid block of caseless ammunition intended for the LMG11.

Seconding this.
Admittedly I'm nervous about this plan. I feel it'll be very easy for us to overpromise and underperform with regards to stabilizing the Communist sphere.
I feel instead that we should be aggressively focusing on ourselves then heavily reinvesting our gains in that toward humanitarian efforts with regards to the civil war. It paints us relatively rose colored (even outside of the Communist sphere, hopefully, and it's to our benefit as a small nation to make it more of a black mark to attack us) and has a lower chance of backfiring hard. The main concern with this kind of plan of course is that long term it opens us up to more danger from western forces because we haven't invested as heavily into the health of our "umbrella", especially since this 5YP is so heavily focused on catching up our healthcare over military progress, etc.
It seems likely to me however that investing in an umbrella shredding itself is a waste in the first place.
EDIT: Y'know what, I changed my mind. Fuck that noise. We stand together or we don't stand at all. Still seconding CyberEnby on the addition of transportation or cyberization, but:

If nobody objects that has voted already, I can do this. I think a +1 to cyberization is what I would go for, maybe it can apply to helping the USSR implement their own automated central planning and stabilize their economy?
I too have these fears, but my self justification is that without putting this as a goal, then we won't try as hard as we can. If we simply let the second world slide into history then we will be alone in a world hostile our existence. I've seen rumblings in the thread that if we can help the USSR implement automated planning using computers we might be able to stabilize them? We can send support and Iron Tigers to a faction in the Chinese civil war we would prefer, we cant really do anything big but we can play a part in attempting to help the two big powers of our bloc not become historical stories on the horrors of communism or something. Idk. It gave me a good reason to extend the name to a ridiculous length

I think they did, from the Systems we gave them. It just when they did install them to help fix there issues, they realized. Oh shit, We put enough materials to make 50 tanks into this, and only got 20. what is happening. (USSR Purge again, this time on actual corrupt peps) and while they are fixing that, they cant rally do that much else.

No complaints here - the cyber-stuff we have is probably our greatest strength, all things considered, so making it better is a good idea.

Yeah, it's not guaranteed that the USSR won't still collapse, but from what I can tell the conditions on the ground there are unlikely to lead to a second civil war ala China. We have to walk the tightrope between making sure the USSR doesn't collapse and lose us our nuclear umbrella, and understanding that the USSR is not our friend in the geopolitical sense - and we need to move fast while they're down to establish our own power block in the commiesphere.
There's a narrow window of opportunity here IMO that we need to take advantage of if we don't want to be relegated to the status of secondary power. Certainly an aggressive diplomatic campaign will also help against CIA intervention in the Chinese civil war, since it would open up dozens of fronts in their shadow war.
Certainly their jobs in Russia are going to get harder now that they won't be able to steal a fighter jet off the rail network, take it apart to see how it works, put it back together, and stick it back onto the train without the Soviets realizing what happened.

I will sooner support cyberization than dragon rail. If we bring people into our cities from the outlying areas, there won't be as much need for dragon rail; as we continue to be a haven for others, we're going to keep building up living places.

The big benefits of Dragon Rail aren't from intercity personnel transport, but from intra-city passenger trolleys and inter-city freight. Both are real nice for pumping up our productivity per capita which is going to become real important very soon if we want to do developmentalism abroad.
I do want to keep working on housing tho, with a 5% growth rate that I think we're at, we will very much need it.
edit: We started with 25 million people in 1976, and in the span of 5 years went to...
