The suppliers of the ULO
A similar, but much more difficult problem, was the one of the parity of the suppliers. In theory, the OLU ordered armaments in equal quantities from likpas and from Phallos. In practice, however, few Phallo manufacturers responded to the calls for tender. Worse, some did so to supply low-quality or even sabotaged armaments. The OLU soon had to implement strict quality controls, or content itself with ordering semi-products instead of finished products.
The same was true for the recruitment of soldiers. While some Phallos were honest or idealistic enough, others were clearly coming to sabotage or to spy. The ULO's response was strict supervision by the Reds, to detect these problems.
From this also came the strict spiritual program of introspection, meditation and psycho-education for all the ULO soldiers.
This made their service time doubly useful, and productive even in peacetime.
The return of freedom and security.
Security was a considerable boost for happiness, but also for the scientific and technical progress of the Likpas and the Boobettes. Especially, moving around became much easier. It was about this time that the Boobettes built their railway.
The Phallos of the Town, terrified by their heavy defeat, had to calm down, at least until they forgot their mirlitary inferiority. Their army was disbanded, except for the Khaki Guards, who pretended to be a supra-national organization.
The likpas living in the city were also much freer and safer, positively influencing the Town.
The anti-Likpas hatred was not cured, however. But it took fifty years for the persecutions to reorganise, leading to the Second Phallos War.
The Likpas flooded the city with cheap transistorized products. The result was a great economic power for the likpas, while greatly delaying the Phallo industry. In the end it is the government of the Town who had to pay for the expensive transistor factories.
