Cryrian Defense Forces: Difference between revisions

Line 701:
Cryrian efforts in this area progressed along two lines - One intended to attack enemy food supplies, particularly livestock, and another for sapient targets. The CDF ultimately developed a line of "Anthrax bombs" that would be used to spread the disease across livestock. In 1945, the weapon was tested on over 60 sheep which had been shipped to the island of Jelna, and successfully killed all its targets within days. Despite this, a lack of significant bomber aircraft meant that the delivery of biological agents would likely have relied heavily on more covert means.
 
The program sooneventually began to face resistance from within the Special Materials Division itself. In 1956, whichDirector reportedEdvard Afzelius finally proposed an end to the program, reporting that: {{quote|Once again the weaponsTomorrowmen, beingin developedtheir wereinfinite "Unlikelywisdom, have confused cruelty with military effectiveness. The proposed developments are unlikely to offer any military value outside the realm of terror orand desperation." To suggest that we would engage in either is nothing less than an insult to the Försvarsmakten.}}Nonetheless, the powerful political supportpower of the Tomorrow Ministry ensured that the program would continue to grow and develop until the White November Crisis of 1957. It is speculated that the Ministry's meddling in military affairs was among the many factors that led to the Crisis. After the downfall of the Ministry, the Cryrian Government began to gradually shut the program down until it had been entirely dismantled in 1960
 
The CDF disclosed a sizable stockpile of weaponized biological agents ranging from anthrax, plague, tularemia, glanders, brucellosis, Q-fever, botulinum, and orthopoxviruses such as smallpox along with established production lines. The vast majority of these were destroyed along with all delivery systems. Limited samples are retained today under heavy restrictions for testing and research purposes. Some facilities in SIggeholm also remain active for similar purposes, and tightly controlled by the Special Materials Division.
