Inside the kremlin, the ministers were all discussing when Putin entered the room. Nobody noticed, while he sat down on his chair. Probably the most noisy were the chiefs of the three military arms.
-We gotta build tanks & armor! What will we do if NATO invades us?-yelled army commander Nikolai Kormiltsev- .Are you stupid, without air power your tanks will be blow to pieces! We need fighters, bombers!, said the chief of the airforce, Vladimir Mikhailov. Admiral Kuroyedov was preparing to speak about power-projection and aircraft carriers, but a voice interrupted:
Kvashnin - SILENCE!
Putin - Thank you chief of staff, unfortunately that was needed. Now, you all probably know why I have called this special meeting. If you don't, well, the USA just invaded Iraq, and this is unacceptable! Minister Gref?
Gref - With pleasure, Mr. president. Well, you all know that we need to develop our military forces, or the US will think they run the world. The problem is, our industry doesnt really allow us to mantain the country in steady development while funding large army reforms. Lucky for us, we have gigantic reserves of numerous energy sources, mainly oil & gas. Sure there's a lot of people out there who are willing to trade, so we will trade with them. This way the economy will keep developin and army funded. Chief Of Staff Kvashin?
Kvashin - Me and Lebedev planned a way to halt the americans on the middle east. Funding milicias in Iraq. How? We'll pass weapons and resources to Iran, who will pass it over to the shia's resistance groups. This way the chances are high to keep america busy in a war, and let's not forget they still have Afghanistan. That's all I have to say.
Putin - Well gentlemen, I think we're done here. Did I missed something?
Kormiltsev - What part of the military will have more funding?
Putin - That will be seen later! Now if that's all I gotta speach to do, this meeting ends here.
Outside of the room, Putin called Kvashnin. Are the preparations going as planned?-asked the president-. They're going well sir, but we still need more support.
Farewell then commander, we'll talk later.
Yes, Sir.
