So about 10 regiments of ground troops and a couple wings of fighters.

We could also assign our researchers to put together something for our allies to give them a small leg up on larger warship construction. No real 'new' tech but methodologies to use their existing infrastructure to put together destroyers or even light cruisers.

Even with the Grand Fleet effectively destroyed we are still stronger than our allies since they don't have a single heavy cruiser between them. We will need to pull back out pirate hunters until we can get some new ships built.

Well, that was surprising.

One way to make some money for the Empire, get some use out of old ships and keep the navy aggressive would be to form squadrons of old ships and send them pirate hunting in the Fringe. Even our oldest corvettes in service are still better than what 95% of pirates are riding. We would get some...

I agree on limiting any agreements with both nations to a certain time period distance or both. Even if the Fringe is not developed enough for dedicated trade routes a circuit that stops by once or twice the year will have enough business to keep busy. It also keeps us in touch with the reason...

Between greater interactions with the worlds north of us, analysis of the pirates equipment and interrogations will we get an intel report on the technical state of the IS and the regions around it? Will this lead to legislation restricting the export of technology, knowledge, etc..?

Will we get a chance to sell basic military equipment to the various statelets in the north? Or push through a law on what technology our corporations can export to foreign nations?

US isolationism will be much stronger in this TL given they can show the ridiculous amount of debt the US took on and the multiple wars in places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that opponents of internationalism can point to. Poland can also stir up plenty of domestic trouble in the US by pointing...

Griff Tiger wins the Gold medal in speed walking for the 100th consecutive year, humans reportedly giving up winning the event.

Nice chapter, can you put together a new Extra threadmark with all the new designs, or upgraded and renamed things in your story.

That would be a funny test, go to Britain and blow a hole through the armor belt of one of their older battleships then mention these will be all over the world soon. The reactions form the Admiralty would be hilarious.

Civilian sales will also bring in a lot of money for Poland given the much better gun laws Europe had and the significant quality increase in ammunition.

It'll be interesting to see how anti air weapons operate against some of the biplanes and other primitive planes without metal skins or the high heat signatures of jets.

After this expansion of the explorer corps is needed to track down and identify BS facilities. We might even detach a dozen cruisers to go and look around rather than doing 4 systems at a time.

I'm looking forward to seeing what other individuals, groups and nations Poland works with to weaken their enemies and strengthen their position. I imagine the Bavarians will be a problem for Hitler with Rupprecht Wittelsbach proven right and other individuals implicated in the attempted...

Is there a reason the Polish government hasn't instituted conscription yet? Its been 6 months and there hasn't been a mention of it or starting a WMD program. Even if you just trained them as basic infantry and armed them with the 300,000 AKMs in storage it would give you a lot of bodies to...

So the Union of Kalmar rises from the dustbin of history. Sweden is more valuable than Turkey because the Swedes don't have to deploy a substantial part of their military keeping a large chunk of their country seceding. Don't have a blood feud with another alliance member and add a substantial...

Actually, he could add a considerable bit more since the Ukrainians are training on a lot of the new heavy equipment in Poland, they might actually give you problems with wanting to go liberate their grandparents from the Soviets. After the Holodomor I imagine they would find plenty of local...

It will be interesting to see what equipment intended for Ukraine was brought along in Poland. I imagine that a lot of military and humanitarian aid, overt and covert, is being shipped in from Poland. Heavy equipment in need of a refurb from the battlefield would go into Poland first.
