Act of Ambition (Map Game)

The year is 1945 ......... but not as we know it. 

In 1933, the American government was overthrown in a military coup, which forced President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to flee Washington DC, as the nation into civil war between various the American Loyalists and the new government of the United States of America controlled by the American Legion, retaining its name from the old government to increase legitimacy. The world changed forever, as halfway across the Atlantic, Adolf Hitler emerged and rose to power. Over the course of several years, the Germans slowly conquered Central Europe and by 1939, they had begun their advance into Poland. The Six Month War and the Eastern War both began to rage across the continent. First the Six Month War, and then the Eastern War. By 1940, Germany had taken France, while the UK was forced to negotiate. In fear of a German invasion, Stalin began preparing the Red Army for a war against the Reich and when the Reich at last had secured much of Europe, Stalin was proven correct. Initially, Germany was able to push as far as Eastern Ukraine and Outer Leningrad, but then the ensuing counterattack forced the Germans as far back as the pre-War borders and from there, the war dragged on to a bloody stalemate. Between 1943 and 1944 the Reich and the Soviet Union had fought a war of attrition and by the time the Russo-German DMZ was established, the war had taken many lives across Europe. As the ash cleared, the political and demographic landscape of Earth was changed forever. And it was all because of the will of a single man. As the new America rebuilds from the Second American Civil War, a revolution starts to brew and the Cold War begins. How will you change the world? Will you be a mere observer of the course of history? Or will you be a participant and make an Act of Ambition?

"“Welcome to the dawn of a new era. The flames of the world flicker around us, the smoke of the establishment rises high into the black clouds. We are the dragon, the roaring lion awakened from his sleep. We are the phoenix arising from the ashes of the world. We are reborn.” -Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Armistice Day, 1945."

'''The Second Sino-Japanese War continues as it drags on to a bloody stalemate. '''
 * German Reich: Following the Eastern War, the German Reich begins to rebuild its economy, and infrastructure while building up the Wehrmacht. This means that the Heer, the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine are built up, especially the Kriegsmarine. In economic news, Hitler begins implementing policies to re-privatise the German economy and attract foreign investors to the German Reich while still maintaining control over public services and utilities, as well as the arms industry. This makes the Reich a more friendly environment for both small businesses and large companies alike, combined with the reduction of interest rates. Meanwhile, Hitler continues to implement the Final Solution across the German Reich. This results in Jews, Slavs, Homosexuals, Disabled and Political Dissidents continuing to be sent to concentration camps. It is expected that Europe outside the Soviet Union will be cleansed of Untermensch before 1950. In military terms, the Reich begins preparations for Operation: Tannenbaum and continues work on the Uranprojekt, with the German Reich hoping to achieve a breakthrough before 1950 - 1952. This means that the Swizz-German border begins to be filled with Wehrmacht forces. Work also continues of the Aggregat rocket family, with work being aimed for making an efficient delivery system for nuclear weapons. With the Eastern War over, priority shifts towards political opposition, and thus a crackdown is initiated on suspected Resistance members by the Gestapo, assisted by SS.
 * General Government: The General Government continues to tighten its grip on the region, and continues the genocide of Untermensch in the Final Solution. Military force is used against Polish Resistance forces, and mass executions begin against their members.
 * Vichy France: The government of Vichy France continues to tighten its grip and continues the genocide of the Untermensch in the Final Solution. A meeting with Hitler then results in the possibility that Hitler may return Northern France to Vichy France and result in the formation of the Independent State of France after 1950. A joint operation by German SS and Vichy French forces begin to root out the French Resistance and wipe them out.
 * Slovakia: Economic expansion and genocide of Untermensch continues as does a crackdown on possible suspected Resistance members.
 * Occupied Serbia: Expansion of the Serbian economy continues, as does the genocide against the Untermensch in the region. Yugoslav Resistance members begin to be rooted out by German SS forces, and local collaborators, as villages and towns begin to be destroyed by SS forces.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: The Spanish mbassador to Berlin, Jose Maria Finat y Escriva de Romani,proposes the sale of 100 12.8cm Flak 40 AA guns, 60 SIG 33 15cm Infantry Heavy Field Cannon and 90 SFH 18M 15cm Heavy Field Howitzers to Spain.
 * German Diplomacy: The Reich accepts the Spanish offer with additional aid being sent in the form of air strikes in the event of a military confrontation against Portugal.
 * Switzerland (Mod): Due to what appears to be German forces massing on the border the amount of money being spent on modernisation of the military is increased and work on the national redoubt is made a priority.
 * This is before Germany falls apart, correct? - Ace009
 * Spain: General Franco increases government spending on education, promising to “nurture the flame of the future, in the hearts and minds of our beloved children”. He unveils the new Plan de Recuperación Económica (Economic Recovery Plan), a manifesto to stabilise the Spanish economy and promote sustainable growth. In an effort to reduce unemployment, the Esquema Nacional de Trabajo (National Working Scheme or ENT) is established. This offers unemployed men and women between the age of 18 and 30 employment on a public works scheme. The employees of this scheme receive food and lodgings (usually portable camps near their labour sites), plus a small salary. This will eventually provide up to 300,000 young Spaniards with valuable skills, wages and work, whilst at the same time vastly reducing unemployment and resulting crime, and providing a cost effective method of constructing infrastructure. Work begins on a motorway network, built across Spain in the rough shape of a spoked wheel. This not only creates a useful transport base for Spanish citizens, but also promotes efficiency in military logistics and response to border threats. The ENT is also employed in improving the national rail network, and various other public works projects such as improving sanitation and water supplies, hospital construction, and working in mines to obtain resources. The Volunteer Labour Force (VLF) is also established by Falangist patriots. Around 40,000 men and women across the nation give up a few hours of their time per week to build schools, clinics, hospitals and roads, in the name of Spanish patriotism. The influx of national and government support for growth through labour becomes known as the Labour Dawn. Another method used to promote growth and employment is to increase military spending. Many historians and analysts agree this is the best way to stimulate productivity and growth, as the resultant ripple effect diversifies across markets, meaning funding research into weaponry and tanks actually increases growth in areas as different as healthcare and stationary manufacturing. The government therefore significantly increases military expenditure, showing particular interest in armament and vehicular sectors. The Ministry of Defence announces two major approaches in the Military Budget Paper 1945. Firstly, work will begin on designing and constructing a comprehensive and advanced radar network across the nation’s coastline, an early warning system against air attack similar to that of the British prior to its partial destruction during the Battle of Britain. Secondly, the military will announce an increase in spending on armoured vehicles. The Spanish military at the end of WW2 had around 100 tanks, a number that is recognised to be equal with most other nations uninvolved in the war, but much weaker than participants. As a result, a Spanish tank programme is developed, loosely based on the Panzer IVs sold to them by Germany in December 1943. The aim is for the final prototype to be completed by the end of 1945, with the roll out commencing in February 1946. The requirements are that the tank is capable of reaching speeds of at least 30mph for extended periods of time on road, and at least 15mph cross country, with a range of over 100 miles. It must also be capable of fording over 1.5 metres. The armaments developed for the tank model predesignate its weaponry as 3x German made MG34s, and a 7.5 cm main gun, projected to have been finalised by August. The armour, designed already by a Spanish firm, ranges between 30 and 105 mm thick. The production line for this tank must have the capacity to produce 700 by the end of 1946, with the aim of escalating production to 4000 by 1949. Recruitment for the tank crews will begin in July 1945, with 4-5 crew members required per tank and an 8-month training programme to ensure Spanish tank crews are of the highest calibre in Europe. The Spanish military also begins further production of the 8.8cm Flak 36 AA guns it has operated since the Spanish Civil War, with the aim of producing 1,800 by 1948, and 5000 Messerschmitt BF 109G-10s in a similar period. After 5 years of remaining aloof from a war that has decimated the economies of those involved, Spain's economy is on the way to recovery from its initial post-civil war state, although there is a long way to go. In other news, the Minister for Education reports increased literacy and grades in the Spanish young, with the University of Madrid and many others reporting higher than ever graduation and enrollment numbers, perhaps due to civil war tensions dissolving over time. Anti-Fascist activity is at a low, although the newly founded National Security Service reports that there are still many dissident revolutionaries plotting acts of terror across the nation, with many in hiding in Portugal. The Spanish Ambassador in Portugal requests that the Portuguese police assists in detaining and extraditing these terrorists for just punishment. In Spain however, the NSS task force dedicated to the elimination of revolutionaries is successful in arresting and prosecuting over 3000 dissidents. Of these, most are found guilty, with 183 executed for a mixture of murder, treason, terrorism, destruction of government property, inciting violence, and acts against the state. The infamous Internal Security Service arrests 200 treacherous government officials, 146 of whom are found guilty of high treason and sentenced to death. Campaigns across Spain continue to encourage reconciliation and integration between the old sides of the Civil War, in a concerted effort to prevent violence and unrest.  The Ministry of Housing begins planning a wave of 'garden cities' to provide homes and communities to the growing population. Light, airy, green spaces are emphasised, and designs are planned with the consideration of stopping congestion in streets, from both pedestrians and road vehicles. Large amounts of private interest in the housing market results in independent construction firms beginning hundreds of new building projects with profit motive. Building Regulatory Laws 13 through 28 are passed to ensure all new settlements are built with easy access to a Catholic church, high quality sanitation and plumbing, large parks and air-raid warning sirens. These building regulations improve living quality but at the same time ensure further boosts to the economy, as many more contractors are needed at no cost to the government since the projects are run privately.  


 * Spanish Diplomacy: We formally request that Andorra allow itself to be annexed. As a part of Spain, it will have access to a bright new future and will be effectively integrated into a European power. Failure to comply will result in an invasion, which your entire population of around 30,000 would not be able to resist.
 * Andorra (Mod):We accept annexation
 * South Africa: With the end of World War II we look forward to a bright new future free of violence and poverty. The South African government implements the assisted emigration scheme where whites from around the world can emigrate to South Africa for £10 where they will then be provided with opportunity for education and a home in any of new areas assigned to the new white population. We have our current embassy staff in Basutoland and Swaziland tell the current government that they are being annexed and if they go peacefully they can retain their current governance and laws although will lose sovereignty (Mod response). On the economic front business subsidies are created to start up manufacturing and mining business while new farming colleges are built across the country and over time we intend for all people working in the agricultural sector to attend one of these for long enough to gain advanced knowledge of agriculture. In an attempt to encourage large companies both from overseas and internally we make it so corporate tax is uniform while income tax is reworked so that higher wage earning people are taxed higher than lower wage earning people. We put out a request on the international market for the purchase of about 150 medium tanks to be paid for in instalments of gold over the next 7 years.  In an attempt to promote racial harmony in schools we attempt to force integration where schools at first are mixed where all possible black and white children are made to learn again and all lessons are taught in English with Bantu and Afrikaans languages not to be spoken at schools. Although, in civil positions in areas where they are predominately Bantu, the native language is allowed with the same provisions going for Afrikaans areas.


 * Basutoland: The people of Basutoland would agree to this if the British Crown approves.
 * Swaziland: This government would like to accept the annexation, as long as authorisation is permitted under His Majesty's government.


 * American Resistance: We work to spread anti-Fascist propaganda throughout the United States, particularly in our strongholds in the South and West Coast. We attempt to take control of a radio station in San Francisco (RNG). We continue to recruit and build our military, preparing for another war or a secession movement if we must.
 * Turkey: Economy, infrastructure and military improves. The population continues to grow, more roads and railways are built. OTL Technology of something continues to be reached. More armored fighting vehicles, warships and warplanes are built and added to the military in case of invasion.


 * Republic Of China: We prepare to negotiate terms of a Ceasefire with the P.R.C out of the hope the Chinese people can unite under one banner to throw back the invaders (RNG For Success of peace talks) Well, at the same time we launch a massive offensive using artillery against Japanese forces in Xi'ai in the hope that the offensive can push back Japanese forces away from the capital. (RNG For Success Of Xi'ai Offensive | Chance Of Success Goes Up If Ceasefire Treaty Succeeds)
 * (OOC) South Africa: I might have phrased it wrong but I meant buy tanks from other people not sell tanks to others.
 * Sorry, but there is NO WAY a naval assault would happen under the RoC. Sorry, Brick. :(
 * German Resistance: The German resistance begins execution of their plot. A bomb is planted in a meeting room near Hitler which goes off (RNG Hitler almost died OTL in the same situation). After the bomb goes off a coup begins (RNG, Same coup as operation Valkyrie, success goes up with Hitler's death). Secret distribution of anti-German propaganda continues. SS factions in the concentration camp frees Jews and encourages them to rebel, as contact has been made with Jewish elders (RNG). Otto von Habsburg begins leading guerrilla warfare down in Austrian villages. (RNG) Help is requested of the British and other foreign powers.


 * RNG for the assassination: 74/100 so Hitler is killed.
 * RNG for Valkryie: 29/100 so Valkyrie fails.
 * RNG for concentration camp revolt: 64/100 reasonably sized breakout and ensuring revolt.
 * RNG for Austrian revolt: 37/100 Otto von Hasburg survives but fails to start a serious rebellion
 * ALERT: Operation: Valkyrie retconned.
 * Panama: We keep modernising our nation and we ask nations to help our nation and we ask Colombia to talk about our relations.
 * Kingdom of Romania: Seeing the attack on Hitler, we declare our neutrality in what we call the German Civil War, stopping supplies to the German Reich. We stop the Final Solution in our territories, and we use the Jews as non-qualified workers in the rebuilding of Odessa and other formerly Soviet-occupied cities. We make an ultimatum to Hungary and the Reich and demand they evacuate Northern Transylvania within a week, or we will remind them what we did in 1919. We also ask for the Reich (whatever government) cede us the Banat from the Serbian Occupation Zone and we will restart the oil trade with the better deal offerer. We are open to any deals from the bickering Axis powers. We ask Finland for a major trade deal, involving us sending food to the nation, and we also ask them to stay neutral in the German Civil War.


 * German Diplomacy (Göring): The German Reich has no choice but to accept.
 * Hungary (Mod): No we won't give you our lands and you are welcome to try to take them from us.
 * Romanian diplomacy: We declare war on Hungary and we ally with the Göring administration, due to silence from the Wehrmacht.
 * Wehrmacht Resitance: We request and alliance with Romania due to them having a Hohenzollern king and the Whermacht is pro restoring the monarchy.


 * ​ ALERT: Operation: Valkyrie retconned.
 * Soviet Union: As we hear the news of Hitler's death, and of the German Civil War. Chairman Stalin realizes that this is the ultimate window to attack the German swine. Although some are skeptical of this decision at first, Stalin very carefully explains it to them, and they agree with him after a very civil totally-not-gulag-threat-related discussion. As such, the   SOVIET UNION declares war upon Germany yet again. One million men fight in the DMZ, 900,000 infantry, 100,000 tanks. 200,000 troops guard Moscow specifically. Another 100,000 troops are sent to Ukraine, near the border with Romania. THE SOVIET UNION ASKS THE UNITED KINGDOM TO JOIN THEM IN THEIR ATTACK ON GERMANY. The Soviet Union asks for an alliance with Japan. 
 * Sorry Tech, but in a unanimous vote Person and I have decided to retcon this due to you having low army morale, a huge loss in civilian population, an economy in shambles, a lack of technology AND your country being pretty much a ruin. You can try again in six years, at the least. ~AM.
 * Edit conflict with AM as I wrote this but good explanation: Would they? They entered a truce for a reason: it was incredibly costly. The death of Hitler does not necessarily mean the collapse of Germany, you would have to wait to find that out. Also, the USSR doesnt have 100,000 tanks, let alone after a world war. Nor does it have the capability of leaving 200,000 troops merely to guard Moscow, which is unlikely to be an initial target. Finally, the Soviet Union is in crushing debt. This war could lead to economic collapse. Also, you need to talk about what Stalin has done during 1945 aside from declaring war.
 * Australia: Australia begins the process to turn East Papua into a full Australian state with Port Moresby as its capital. Australia also encourages more immigration to Northern Australia with Darwin set to be its capital. However the East Papuans feel it is of an occupation as Australia begin constructing airbases across the north of the territory. Australia enacts martial law after some protests get out of hand. Australia also asks Britain for the plans of the Centurion heavy tank and Vampire jet fighter, along with this an order of 100 of the new tanks and 50 of the planes. Australia also begins a new ship building program of some newer models. Prime Minister John Curtin of the Labor Party travels to New Zealand to propose the formation of the "Southeast Asian Treaty Organization", a specially alliance to promote peace in Southeast Asia.
 * USA: We continue our rebuilding process with factories along the east coast being built and farms along the west being built as well, The USA continues to build up its military with recruitment being high due to propaganda being played daily. Farms in the west continue to turn up more food. We send an army of 100,000 men into the west coast to retake the west from the traitors who have betrayed america. We target resistance strongholds along the coast hoping to retake it within a couple years. We are shocked by the assassination of the leader of the Reich Adolf Hitler. We send help to help maintain the stability of the reich.  Using our influence over Cuba we try to establish a puppet government there MOD RESPONSE. We begin to work on a project for splitting atoms. Troops are posted along the US-Mexican border.
