Crossing Borders, a Youjo Senki/Strike Witches crossover

[BF110C4]

You could always focus on YS characters on the SW side of the portal. Anyone who joins in on the fighting over there can expect a massive tech windfall, and can make a obscene amount of money from millitary sales. Simply exporting food should make a lot of money, as it would be fresher and going over a shorter logistical train. A lot of the ammunition used on both World Wars is compatible, as is fuel.

Reparations payment could easily consist of stripping excess war material from involved countries, allowing fast demobilizatiom, and giving a bumper crop of supplies to the SW nations. Basically, it allows the transfer of stuff from people who can't immediately legally use it, to people who desperately need it, all for transport cost, and avoiding storage costs.

That kind of economic negociation will be relevant only after the current warfront is stabilized, which will happen one way or another after Arene and Revolving door. Before that both sides are undertaking short term negociations only. Remember, anything the field commanders of the European Theater cannot authorize on their own inititative (such as economic support, sending military gear not considered surplus and technology interchange under an active patent or considered classified) they will have to pass to their governments, which in the Liberion case is a classified Congress subcomittee or similar, which would slow down things (both in and out of the story) and none of the people in charge wants to deal with at this point (and yes, that includes the author).

I need to make it clearer and establish a timeline with dates, but the whole fic so far can barely be measured in a couple weeks, and while so far both sides are making the best out of the available time there's simply no way they can agree to what would be for all purposes a secret Military Aid and Commerce Treaty with a foreign power in such a short timeframe. Especially since on the SW side commercial and economic measures are one of the rights of the nation in which the portal is, Gallia, and currently the government is too busy moving back to Paris to pay the attention it would require (at the very least informing economists, diplomats and lawyers to draw a treaty that won't step in too many toes.

All true,they are not medieval states where kings could decide something in one day.


on another topic - WW2 metal planes could be hard to replicate for YS Germany,when in OTL Junkers made Junkers D1 metal fighter,it was worst then wooden biplanes with the same engines made by Fokker,Albatross and other factories,becouse technology for making metal planes was no there yet.

Better take much stronger engines,and use for another wooden biplanes,for example like dutch Fokker D.17.

It was almost twice as fast as any allied fighter from 1918,and climbed better.Allied air forces could not match it,at least till they copy engine.

Stronger engines for tanks made YS germany to mass produce light tanks like Vickers E.
Germans probably would be unable to made sometching with better armour with their technology.


P.S Junkers D1 and other new fighters were made in 1918 just before war ended.
