' Wrote:18 years ago, with 100% of the KNF in the core, they still couldn't secure Hokkaido.
Now with 30%, they can?
You say 65% remaining in the core in 4.86 as if that would make Kusari even more impenetrable than it already is, when that's possibly the furthest thing from the truth.
It really seems that the people at the top have started believing in their own myth.
Bear in mind that in times of war, Naval recruitment soars. You can't really compare a peacetime Navy to a wartime one.
Massive armies are ridiculously expensive. Nations generally field small professional armies, and recruit more soldiers/pilots as they're required. Kusari wouldn't have had its current fleet numbers before the war, which would account for at least some of the Hokkadio situation.
If war is good for anything, it's good for getting the Field Marshal's budget plans approved.
