Status Report

With the war in Iberia entering a new stage, and the King of Austria returning to the fatherland, Berengar had much work cut out for him. He was currently sitting in his office, surrounded by a group of ministers who represented the different aspects of Austria's development.

The first among these men to speak was Field Marshal Eckhard. He voiced his report regarding the conscription of soldiers, their training, their outfitting, and various other factors that went into the rapid expansion of the Austrian Army.

"Your Majesty, I will have you know that we have more than doubled our Army's size. Over the past six months, since you have established conscription, we have trained and outfitted 250,000 Soldiers. Currently, the Needle Rifles have been produced en masse and given to the soldiers and we have begun the introduction of the 7.5cm FK 22 field guns.
