Balsamo gazed at her with admiration as the Antarctican spoke, and then snapped her fingers. "Show them what we were planning". Two young men holding stacks of papers and books appeared, and landed it on the table that Balsamo sat by. One of them came with a projector, letting it display on the wall at the end of the wide room. Most of the men working inside the room noticed the projection, and stopped to listen to the conversation.
"We were having plans for land grabbing long before you appeared. The problem is what I told you, we aren't experienced, or we are out gunned. However, hear serves more or less a training ground, and we were preparing for an assault when you appeared" She flipped the slide, showing a map of the pacific coast of the United States region: Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, California, and so on. Some major cities were starred, such as Portland and Seattle.
"The plan was to launch major strikes on Seattle and lay seige to it. Seattle is infested with Green Barretts, the socialist union of workers, were supposed to be having strikes at the time, and the ones working in the arms and munitions factories would blow a hole open for us. Meanwhile, down in Portland, we were to set explosives on the bridges that connect the city, to prevent the movement of military from moving their asses through from I 405." She pointed to the emblem with that said 5. "Interstate 5 is our biggest hot spot, with the exception of Oregon. Down in California, we could have the Central Valley, along with Sacramento, in our hands in a matter of hours if we had the right weapons." A picture went to California as she spoke this. "The problem with California is the Bay Area, a lot of the wealthy are there, and boy are they guarded. This is with the exception of the Oakland slums, who unfortunately are almost unanimously not Reds. We do however, that they are unhappy. If word spread to Oakland, along with several propaganda campaigns, it would have been hopeful at the least to see them riot. Nevada is a problem, however. Las Vegas, while it does have its own wealth gap, is a heavy military hot spot. We've already been unsuccessful several times in trying to at least rob a damn bank there. Then there's Denver, a Red hot spot. We do not go much south past Arizona or Las Vegas, unless you count the Rocky Mountains. That's our upside, really, that we can intercept military personnel that try to move through there. With the right guns, we could have several regiments hold off Imperials as we pushed into Las Vegas and Las Angeles." The slide ended there.
"Now, as for robotic production facilities, I can guarantee Seattle and Portland have them. Denver should too. The Central Valley inside California will be home to food production and cows. With the train lines that run through it, we could supply ourselves with food to push into Sacramento and Northern Nevada. The problem, of course, is that we can't get much south besides Redding, California. However, with the robotic facilities, there's bound to be Green Caps there. They can help you with that, and you can help us with this."
"This place is a training ground in construction. If you could help train my soldiers, and any other regiment, I'm sure we would allow you to construct and HQ here as well."
