Well it's not like either the Bavarians nor the ESC would interfere with Dutch Grain. Heck if rail resources run low,  maybe the Lugwig Canal can be pressed back into service moving Hungarian grain from the Danube to the Rhine :)

I usually play with the images to downgrade the stuff in appearance or change it enough to fictionalize. The Russian stuff is a goldmine because nobody knows about it.

I prefer line drawings because they are easier to manipulate to morph than photoshopping the picture.  

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

I better go shopping for some armor tech. :(

Please note that the 50 mm gun is a low velocity gun more like a breech loaded minengewerfer or mortar bomb thrower than a true howitzer or gun. It is not a cannon.

Like the half track, and some of my aircraft, until I can develop the tech this has to be BOUGHT from Bavaria as an item they designed for Holland specifically.  :(

Nicholas van Rijn is somewhat satisfied. The Japanese Katang resort deal will bring in a small amount of cash ($0.5 a 1/2 year) and bring some good will with one nation that has been skittish of Holland so far.

On related matters NvR notes that the NUS and the Kingdom of the Netherlands are in normalization talks and will exchange ambassadors.

The slow restoration of Holland's fortunes continues.....

MVB flash traffic to all Dutch military units and commercial traffic worldwide sent in the clear.

"Raise alert status from PEACE to CONDITION III. Explanation. Rumours and Humint indicate that the Dar es Salaam Conference is not mediating the New Zion crisis as expected. Own intelligence service estimates UNCERTAIN. Plan for WAR at any moment. Own government policy as published is NONINTERFERENCE and NEUTRALITY if war occurs. Instructions as per PLAN A. Defend yourselves if attacked. Do not otherwise provoke any belligerent action. PROCEDURE G in effect."  

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

His Exellence Francisco Nina Reverte is named Ambassador of Naciones Unidas de Suramerica...to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

A Mr. Gunter Herzog books train passage to Vienna. He carries letters of introduction to meet with Minister Prince Pu Lin. Subject is business: specifically Dutch silk trade with the Middle Kingdom.   

[damocles]

Having arrived in Vienna without incident, Meister Herzog checks into the Hotel Sache and settles in. One day later he heads for Metternichgasse 4, A-1030. It is the Middle Kingdom embassy and consular office address in Vienna.

Minister Kyrt Hurgens is on his way to the NUS to represent the Kingdom of the Netherlands. His books passage on the liner KSS Antwerp. He settles in and reads his mission briefs from the Foreign Ministry and the Trade Amt. Both briefs show that he has his work cut out for him.

Fabrique National demonstrates a new submachine gun for the Landmacht.

Colonel Geiner: "This thing is a toy!"
 
Whereupon Meister Henry Meoir, the FN representarive, bashes the colonel over his pointy helmeted head with the weapon, and lays the colonel out cold.

Then Meister Meoir sprays a cluster of wooden soldier targets some fifty meters away with a single clip. He tosses the smoking weapon to Major Hind.

Hind: "Its not even hot!"

Meoir: to the assembled and upset gawkers. "Count the bullet holes in the targets, my Meisters. You wanted a trench broom? There is your geleide ondergang  trench broom!"    

Someone throws a bucket of water over Colonel Geiner.

Major Hind after he drops the bucket: "Colonel I think the Landmacht has a new machine pistool."
