National Redoubt Defence Program
"In the most unlikely case that our glorious Navy and its Airforce would, for one reason or another, be unable to defend our beaches against the landing of foreign invasion forces, we need a plan of action. I call it Plan B. Others call it 'the National Redoubt Defence Program'."—Xon Wan, Shaojiang of the Imperial Jingdaoese Navy, 6302 ASC
The National Redoubt Defence Program was a proposed defensive plan developed on behalf of the Secretariat of Slaying. The program focused on a potential war with - mainly but not necessarily - Shireroth and potential allies. The experiment of the Shirerithians with nuclear weapons (Operation Tymarian Sun) in which they openly challenged the Jingdaoese Navy, worried several officers in the High Command that the day could come that a Kaiser would send his troops eastwards in a foolish (and deadly) attempt to reconquer its lost territories.
Its main goal is to defend the Jingdaoese Empire against an overseas invasion and nuclear attack by a combination of using medium-range ballistic missiles and the natural surroundings to bring the enemy to a halt and make any attempt to costly (both in lives as the financial burden). The program was composed of several phases and was designed to keep the budget costs as low as possible.
Phase 1: Coast Defence
Phase 1 of the Defence Program implies the importance of supporting the Navy in its task to keep enemy Fleets away from the coastline itself. Ten military bases are spread across the country and allow a missile strike on any military ships which comes too close.
For budget reasons the Armed Forces decided to develop and mass produce medium-range ballistic missile with a range of 1,800km. Inventing ways to circumvent this system, of varying degrees of plausibility, subsequently became a great pastime amongst S.W.O.R.D. analysts.
