"Sifasan huh? Well if It has oil, then we can go there, we need to strengthen our economy by seizing as much oil as we can, it'll let us control the world economy, as oil is just as crucial as iron ores of metals. So I want an entire expedition party to be sent out there, straight to the continent, send 2,000 Common Army Soldiers and have them set up a militia to protect their lands, if any natives do end up attacking the settlements, their first order of business to establish food-supply, water and shelter. Before any drilling will happen, all settlers will land in Port Bastion to receive starting supplies and instructions of how to begin exploring, then from there the settlers will spread out and form their own communities, up north it will be best to set up drilling sites and have digger teams go around the area, scooping and shovelling dirt in hopes of finding oil lakes, which will then be drilled with massive oil rigs and teams working around the clock to maintain and keep these machines in top shape, it is vital that we control these at all costs or else we'll lose out on profits, if any natives seek alliances, accept it! We do not need any enemies currently, next send hundreds of workers to Port Bastion to begin construction of basic naval capabilities, if we can construct oil-tankers en mass, then we can ship out all that oil we might produce, resources will be provided from Port Aux. After establishing basic naval capabilities, begin constructing civilian infrastructure, hospitals, water-station and treatment centers alongside cultural buildings to boost happiness in the area. With that, you are dismissed and make us proud!" Kwame Key Hayes to Minister of 'Colonization and Expansion' Major General 'George Von Kitchener' [ Helegia will now be involved in the Oil Wars, thus starting the upwards trend in Hegelian Imperialism and the increased presence of Hegelia in international affairs, as it begins to take the first steps into a new, hopefully brighter future. ]
[ During their voyage, a troubling storm came their way, sending the expedition fleet into chaos as many ships were split off from the main formation, but eventually they regathered and landed closer to home, hopefully here there is lots of the oil. ] [ If it's hard to see, go inside the project. ]
