[b][u]Army and Jobs[/u][/b]
[/center]
One day, Hanz received a letter at his home from a man dressed in the typical Kalpian uniform, he didn't know what to expect of it, he had been a good soldier always following the orders given by the officer on command and even on the last winter exercises, he didn't complain not a little bit not even when he almost starved because of a late supply train, sure it wasn't the best job but it served well to feed his family and himself, even if sometimes the pay came late. 

Hanz was anxious about what the letter was about and he just couldn't help it, since recently, many of his friends in the army were moved to the reserve force, something that meant not only getting less pay but also being without a full-time job and the common soldier only had a couple of options when it came to work, they would could work at the Arsech Steel Foundries, the iron mines in Karp  , as a worker building the railways of the ever increasing Kalpian railways or try to make it into the police force. These were the prospects of work that Hanz could think of if he became a reservist.

Finally, he decided to open it after breakfast, if this was what he believed it was,  at least, he wanted to have one last routine breakfast with his wife and two sons. Hanz tried to his best to hide his worry but to no avail, as his wife noticed and asked him about it at the breakfast, he couldn't help but say the truth to the wife that had given him so much support over these years of his life. He opened it a little while later, only to find out that inside there was his pay and a small note saying that pays from now on would regularize, Hanz was relieved, but the next day another close friend of his told him that he was no longer in the army and that he would go have to move back at his father's farm in Kaniarus.

[b][u]General Staff and Economy[/u][/b]

The  General Staff continued doing its normal business, selling guns to foreign governments, sending requests of production to Kerser Guns and doing such things that were too common nowadays, with governments that the General Staff couldn't really come to trust such as the Tsardoms of Karum and Radena, after all, in the past Kalpia had found itself diplomatically isolated for the reason that there were so many monarchies that really didn't share their political beliefs.

But these weren't really the priorities of the General Staff, which saw fit that the Kalpia should grow internally and fix the governmenet deficit that didn't really allow the army to continue growing and improving like before, as such, military was to be slightly cut off for the actually paying the soldiers again and seeking more ways to make money for army.

For this to happen the General Staff decided that it would rifles to Hiron a far off Empire that had little importance in the world and was treated by them and many others like the minor power it was, another measure was to fund some civilian companies with the objective of promoting growth in the economy.

And the last one was to move 40,000 men from active soldiers to reservists as a way to cut spendings in a fast way. Hopefully, this would be enough to fix the economic problems  that the General Staff as a problematic for the growth of Kalpia as a whole.
