Celestial+Empire+EoT+16

++ ESPD is used to help the Glorious Army with their espionage usage. The one regarding investigating whoever is infiltrating the Heterodyne. Thelonius has given the detailed instructions, I will simply be boosting his usage. [EDIT: I actually don't know if Thelonius was planning this for mid-turn or EOT. If he isn't doing it mid-turn, these ++ will be saved to help him at EOT.]

+++++ +++++ ESPD is going to be used to continue things in the University. We have an ESPD alliance with them and they have also given us permission for defensive agents to function within their property. We already know that one of the competing "infiltrators" at EOT was the Glorious Army due to a miscommunication. Noting that and any information we have from ours and Thelonius's work there at the last EOT, my defensive agents will be trying to find out who is behind the other infiltration and then converting their efforts to win over the University to the loyalty of the Celestial Empire. In other words, we want their influence to become ours while also identifying who is responsible. If 10 ESPD isn't enough, I will continue my work at EOT. I am hoping for influence from identifying and purging the infiltration as well as gaining the enemy influence for the empire.

+++++ ++- MIL is sent to Italy. There, it will be stationed along the border with Italian troops to protect against the Skuldings or anyone really. Hopefully noting our presence there the Skuldings won't even bother trying to attack. They will answer to the command of the Italians if further instruction is necessary. Apollo's Chariot is among this retinue.

The rest of the MIL, +++++ +++ is stationed in the homelands. It is to be continuing salvage in Algeria. However, it is to respond and defend against any problems in case the Skuldings or someone tries some funny business. So yeah, 8 towards salvage unless we run into problems.

Celestial Empire vs Skulding (Defensive Espionage war) 10 vs 17 26 vs 46


 * Celestial Empire: End of Turn 14 **


 * Requesting x amount of random growth for this turn. **

1. Hopefully I'll be dealing a finishing blow to the University in terms of influence. I have a defensive pact with them, so espionage is super effective. 2. The combination of espionage and morale will be used to continue winning over the loyalty of the populace. Last year a huge amount of resources were poured into projects to improve the morale of the empire, so that will be fresh in the minds of the University through the use of morale. The espionage will work behind the scenes to win over the loyalties of the people and combined with morale to convince them of how great things are in the Celestial Empire. Imagine the funding their university will get under the co-emperors! Similar stuff to mid-turn, but now I'm throwing in a hell of a lot of MOR to win over their hearts and minds in addition to the bribes and influencing done by the agents. So yeah... if that's enough stat usage I guess the will automatically join? If not, maybe next turn. 32.5 ESP in one turn against a 0 ESP faction with a defensive espionage alliance is just brutal. 3. If that mysterious infiltration shows up, I'd definitely like to try to identify them.

================================

1. +++++ ++- MIL is stationed in Italy at their border to protect against the Skuldings and also to show an obvious buildup of defenses on the border so the Skuldings don't strike. 2. The other +++++ +++ MIL is stationed in Algeria salvaging what's left. This is the same thing as in mid-turn, though, where they will move to defend the empire if necessary.
 * Military: +++++ +++++ +++++ - **

1. Standard reminder on the Swiss investment. 2. My economy will be going towards boosting WO. This turn's t. ECO can go towards restoration projects in France and Spain (that help the refugees, not their rulers) and repairing war-torn areas to become livable again. And I can take a page out of the KH's book and donate a bunch of it to the impoverished and needy around Europa, improving the quality of life for the serfs and lower classes.

All of my WO will be going towards Italy. I would like to help convince the Central Party in Italy towards liking the Celestial Empire. I'm hoping that we can establish a long-term relationship where we help them during their reign and hopefully through that, they will get reelected and such. So I'm starting to build influence them with this and sending my military to help protect them. Hopefully it is clear to them that we're a good ally to have and that we'll scratch their backs if they scratch ours.
