Pren Gwyn Lluoedd Milwrol Council Negotiations, Day 1The meetings about the going on's in the war, plans the army and navy have, and most importantly, funding, take place in the capitol of Llygaidblaiddmawr in the grand halls of the old keep of the old castle that once was for the prince of Pren Gwyn before castles like itself were considered outdated. Fittingly enough, the talks would be overseen by the Prince, Dywel himself. Of course, these negotiations and debates will take some time to conclude, at the very least more than one day, and as such the Gwylio Awyr Brenhinol is provided a room. This room however is nothing more than servants quarters however, and as such you are packed in like sardines, and most others have it a bit better. Still the room isn't why you are here.
Once everyone was there in the late morning after breakfast, the the first meetings would begin, all in the grand hall with the prince on the old and now mostly unused throne as generals and admirals made their way to make speeches about the many ways they have currently been victorious, how the enemy's own gains mean little but should still be seen as a threat, and how the Prens never will be slaves to the Schwarzes or anyone else. However, after about six hours of speeches, including one from General Dremidydd Rosser himself, the actual debates would begin and it would become a mixture of both sides trying to work together in their plans while trying to get a leg up on the other in terms of who'd get more funding for the war effort to make their little clever idea's for new weapons or ships reality, simply to make more of them, or most amusing of which, why they deserve a deal like the Brenhinol so their forces can all have steel helmets or lifejackets.
Regardless, it was only natural for the Gwylio Awyr Brenhinol to get involved in this little back and forth of who needs more money, and as such, they'd manage to get in their own little speech thanks to a particular engineer.
This is my proposal for the council meeting:
Accept General Dremidydd Rosser's deal, then propose the following with his support:
"The Gwylio Awyr Brenhinol have served for a full year, and in that time we have witnessed a variety of technological and military accomplishments. We supported several raids on Schwarzes Holz' ports, proved critical in the survival of the LFM Marchog in Early Spring, successfully stalled hostile advances Cwymp cyflym and Bont Gwyn despite regular, overwhelming presence by the Luftjager and we have successfully supported the Western front's advance to the outskirts of Dunklerfelsen and Sprungburg.
However, the Luftjager have shown up in force at every turn, unleashing hordes of Schwarzes pilots and foreign mercenaries in an attempt to wipe us from the skies. Our pilots have achieved their strategic objectives despite this, trading their lives to help bring and end to this war whilst the enemy are happy to cause death and destruction.
But we cannot go on like this. The Luftjager pilots grow more numerous and more skilled each day, and so we need additional planes in the sky to turn the tide, and let us do our jobs of supporting the swift advance of our soldiers and finally bringing an end to this war.
Thus, we ask for additional funding. General Dremidydd Rosser knows just how valuable a friendly sky can be, so give us the tools we need to ensure that every Pren Gwyn soldier and sailor can also enjoy the benefits of plentiful air support..
Further, we would propose a deal directly with the Navy. If you are willing to produce and maintain a Seaplane Tender, we will ensure that it has at least two squadrons to support any naval action you deem appropriate."
General Rosser would, after this, actually state how the air force helped speed up his advance, and how the Schwarzes own Luftjäger is responsible for the delays and even his forces being pushed a bit further back from the gates of the city that rightfully belongs to the Principality. He also brings up how, should the air force be able to surpass the Schwarzes own in capability, it would be the enemy ships under threat from air attack more than the navy's own, and how the one thing the army and navy can potentially agree on is that at the very least, a strong Brenhinol will counter the Luftjäger, and the last thing needed is a actual Adderscourge like the Fokkerscourge in Europe. Some would object and say that such a thing means the Brenhinol is being mismanaged, however, he'd counter by stating how the Adder's are seen everywhere in large numbers, meaning its entirely possible that the enemy has more funding, and even if they didn't, it would mean they fully dedicated themselves to shooting down Pren aircraft for a long time rather than actually supporting the soldiers on the ground until recently.
Regardless, his words have enough weight that the majority of the army agrees to the idea of four aircraft dedicated to help Rosser finally take the city of Dunklerfelsen in exchange for more funding for aircraft, however, Rosser takes it a step further after speaking to Gruffudd Taaffe and Garth Mathias and makes a second offer, support for the creation of a new fighter in exchange for that new fighter to be used mainly on his front, though it wouldn't be long after this suggestion and a few more talks that there is a break for lunch and tea in the dining hall.
Once lunch had passed, the Navy would seem to approach and offer that such funding would be provided, and that there was already work on converting one of the balloon cargo ships into a Seaplane Tender, and were offering to actually agree to your suggestion so long as you provided aircraft for them. However, they stress they'd like a better radio for the craft and for the aircraft to have greater endurance and range so that they might be in the air longer and report sighted ships from further away. They also seem to be a bit divided on the funding issue, but would be willing to do so and cover one PP worth of development cost should you promise to make a dive bomber that could carry a 500 pound bomb and have a prototype squadron ready to bomb the enemy up and running by the end of the year.
After this, many more talks would happen for hours, however while this went on something odd would happen. A man who apparently is a part of the royal mail service would state how a air mail service might be quite useful for both moral as messages would potentially reach the front faster and it also would be a service that would pay for the cost of the aircraft in question, and might let the pilots get use to said aircraft. They also state how it certainly would help the public image of the air force, providing aircraft for a civil use while fighting the good fight. Eventually, dusk would come and with it dinner, followed by a recap and after everyone being allowed to sleep. Now there time for the Brenhinol to come up with suggestions and proposals along with answers to what was said tomorrow.
