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 ambassador 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 four to five crew members required per tank and an eight-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 1800 by 1948, and 5000 Messerschmitt BF 109G-10s in a similar period. After five 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 seven 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.
 * British Empire: We accept the annexation of Basutoland and Swaziland into the Union of South Africa.


 * 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.
 * San Francisco Radio Station Assault RNG: 50/50 = 74/100. The station is now part of the Resistance.
 * Turkey: Economy, infrastructure and military improves. The population continues to grow, more roads, buildings 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. Being more democratic, Turkey asks the Soviet Union and United Kingdom for alliance.


 * 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'an in the hope that the offensive can push back Japanese forces away from the capital. Also we employ a draft of males from the ages of 18 to 56 which we hope will result in one million new recruits for the army. (RNG For Success Of Draft)
 * (OOC) South Africa: I might have phrased it wrong but I meant buy tanks from other people not sell tanks to others.
 * 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: We stop the Final Solution in our territories, and we use the Jews and Romani as a serf class in the rebuilding of Odessa and other formerly Soviet-occupied cities in Transnistria. We ask the German Reich if the Banat can be transferred to us from the Serbian Occupation Zone, seeing at it is a reward for our contribution in the Eastern War. We ask Finland for a major trade deal, involving us sending food to the nation. We SECRETLY spread propaganda in Northern Transylvania, calling the Romanian population out for rebelling against the Hungarian Government (RNG). SECRET END.
 * ​German Diplomacy: Führer Adolf Hitler officially accepts the request from the Romanian government, although he does express concern for the end of the Final Solution in Romania.
 * Transylvanian Revolt RNG: 50/50 = 84/100: Large scale revolt ensues in Northern Transylvania.


 * 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 Comet medium tank and Meteor 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. MOD RESPONSE.'
 * Mod response: Yes, New Zealand joins SEATO
 * 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 of 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.
 * ​ALERT: Operation: Valkyrie retconned.
 * Colombia: With the Second American Civil War reigniting and increased tensions in Europe and Asia Colombia's export market is drastically limited leading to mass unemployment and economic decline. The president attempts to combat this with a series of unpopular taxes, military cuts, and land reforms. With the presidents approval ratings rapidly falling, a group of army officers plot to remove him and build a great and powerful Colombian empire. The Communists, which are growing in popularity, also see a chance for a revolution that will remove American influence from the country for good.
 * Saudi Arabia: We begin to work on opening jobs by sending people to oil silos and to the army. A draft is made for men from 17-25 to join the army fearing a World War can happen at any moment. Military drills are held across the country mostly at the south. Schools are open in urban areas to improve the nation's future.
 * Peru: Peru's new government increases the military budget and expands all branches of it, including an aggressive naval and air force expansion project.
 * Canada: Canada secures the border to the now-Fascist United States and arms it with 10,000 Canadian soldiers.
 * American Resistance Diplomacy: We encourage Canada to invade Michigan and Minnesota!
 * Anti-Mussolini Rebels: A newly formed anti-Fascist resistance to the Mussolini regime is formed, taking members from the Action Party, the Garibaldi Battalion, and Giustizia e Liberta. The rebels are led by the former politician and journalist Ferruccio Parri and the former leader of the Garibaldi Battalion, Randolfo Pacciardi. The rebels are based in the Aosta Valley, using the borders with Vichy France and Switzerland to receive and give information to Greek and Yugoslav Resistance forces in the Italian occupied zones. Operation: Yakatit is planned and enacted, in which a group of ten resistance fighters escape into Switzerland and fly to Italian East Africa, where they will help fan the flames of uprising in the newly conquered land (MOD RESPONSE). Meanwhile, another group of rebels flies to Greece and attempt to bring the republican resistance groups of EDES, EOK, EKKA, PEAN, and Organization X under the arm of the Anti-Mussolini Rebels (MOD RESPONSE).


 * None of this ever happened. Sorry, but it turns out that these organisations were next to non-existent in OTL due to lack of support. Perhaps later in the game? As for the American Resistance, there is no bloody way they would allow that.  Oops. Need clarification as to WHY Canada is invading Michigan and Minnesota first. 
 * OOC American Resistance: The Great Lakes States are a strategic location in the Fascist United States. Canada could benefit through trade control and industries such as automobiles and dairy in those states. It could weaken the Fascist economy, helping in both the AR's ventures and benefiting Canada's economy. Also, this weakening will make a Fascist invasion of Canada, where Roosevelt still resides, less likely.
 * Japanese Korea continues to experience heavy civil unrest from the Korean population, who demand independence from Japan. Further measures to assimilate them with Japanese culture begin, though with little success due to unrest and the fact that a majority of the population lives in rural areas. The Korean colonial government, comprised of ethnic Japanese and Korean collaborators, enacts a law prohibiting the use of Hangul and replacing all writable phrases with Katakana instead. Immigration policies with Japan are considerably relaxed to allow more ethnic Japanese to settle in Korea, with most Japanese settling in the province in Northern Korea due to job opportunities and less Koreans.
 * Italy: Across the nation parades and marches take place to symbolise and celebrate the end of the war. Mussolini is quick to recognise the need for economic reform, and announces privatisation and state asset leases to boost cash flow and cut debts from the war. He realises that, as for most nations from the war, a recession is on the horizon, and so urgent budget changes are planned. Education spending is increased, particularly in materialistic acquisition as this diversifies spending to other areas such as textbooks and blackboards. Meanwhile, welfare spending is cut, and income and corporate taxes increased, in an attempt to quickly stabilise the economy and prepare for the global economic effect of a finished war. The army announces an immediate deflation to meet budget requirements, with the standing troop size decreased from around five million to one nillion, although these troops are left with the understanding that they may be called up at a moments notice. These troops now return to their pre-war jobs, allowing economic recovery to begin. This leaves million of surplus weapons and their ammunition, most of which is put into heavily guarded storage in case of a resurgence of conflict. However, in a desperate attempt to garner funds for the war-weakened economy, many weapons and vehicles are advertised for selective sale on the international market. Nations are asked to express their interest diplomatically.


 * Spanish Diplomacy: We would like to purchase 50 Camionetta 42 Sahariana SPA AS 42 scout cars, 300 AB 41 armoured scout cars and 100 M 105/25 assault guns for patrolling and maintaining order in the Spanish Sahara
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We would like to purchase 80 Camionetta, 42 Sahariana, SPA AS 42 scout cars, 400 AB 41 armoured scout cars and 200 M 105/25 assault guns along with your surplus small arms, like rifles, machine guns, anti-tank rifles, sub-machine guns, and other small arms in exchange for installments of gold for the next ten years.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We wish to remain neutral in any conflict you may have with our esteemed ally, Japan, and so we are sorry to say that we will not be engaging in a trade deal of a military kind with you. We accept the Spanish offer.
 * Ireland: Military and infrastructure begin to improve. Some of our fortifications begin to be constructed, while the Irish military recruits troops. The population is slightly increasing in Dublin, which is good. The roads and railways are not built yet. It could be decided when they will be built. The buildings are beginning to be built in some cities and there will be more to come.
 * British Empire: We have been blessed enough to be spared from the horrors of war, all the chaos and bloodshed in a glorious five year peace when the rest of the world entered a great turmoil. As a result of this peace, we remain the most powerful nation on Earth and we have also been a safe haven for many refugees, and we have benefited greatly from the massive spike of immigration and we continue to offer to be a safe haven for all who are oppressed.  Domestically, we implement the National Health Service, to ensure that all British subjects have the right to universal healthcare. We also set up massive industrialization programs, to set up roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, and factories across the British Empire, with focuses on the United Kingdom and the British Raj. We also plan to implement a national highway system and the development of suburbs. We also encourage entrepreneurship by making low corporate taxes and providing subsidies for those who are starting small businesses, as we begin to move from a secondary sector economy to a tertiary economy. During this time of peace we have focused into the Westminster project,  allocating resources to it while other nations have been distracted by war, with the help of Albert Einstein and from scientists from around the globe we expect to be the first nation to complete the Westminster project. On the international scale, we receive news of the Holocaust from the Soviet Union and we are horrified by this vile atrocity on humanity and we demand that Nazi Germany stops the Holocaust. To make it clear that we are serious, we send the British Royal Navy to blockade the English Channel and the North Sea  to demand that Holocaust ends. In the Pacific, we mobilize troops in British Malaya and Burma, sending troops from the British Raj and send them to to the Japanese Indochinese border in case of attack. We congratulate the Chinese victory over the Japanese Empire.

1945.5
'''The Tianzhou Offensive results in a costly defeat for the Japanese (as per the algorithm). '''

'''Tensions begin to rise between Switzerland and Germany following reports of German buildup on the Swizz-German Border. As a result the Swiss military begins to prepare for a possible invasion. '''

'''In retaliation for the Tianzhou Offensive, additional troops are sent to China to tighten control over the already held territories. '''

'''The Hungarian government declares a state of emergency in Northern Transylvania as troops begin to mobilise into the region. '''

'''With South African Government incentives for immigration largely from the Netherlands but also from occupied Belgium, France, Yugoslavia come to South Africa at the prospect of a better life and free from Nazis oppression. '''

'''Across the world, post-war recession hits out at the nations involved in the devastation of the last six years. Huge debts built up by defense expenditure and the economic effect of mass conscription make massive hits to economies across the globe, dependent on wartime involvement. Nations are forced to reduce their military size back to peace time levels (where possible), but this too results in a huge drop of GDP as military expenditure decreases to normal levels. Particularly affected are Germany, Japan, the USSR, Italy and China, although every other participant also faces a considerable need for economic reform.'''

'''Royal Navy blockades of the continent result in increased pressure between Britain and the Reich. Could a new Battle of the Atlantic begin? '''

'''In China, the governments fighting in the deadly conflict theater are desperate in their efforts to procure a continuous supply of weapons and munitions to fight the war. With what is almost international ignorance to avoid being embroiled in political conflict with Japan, the Chinese receive almost no foreign aid, although Communist sympathizers in the USSR establish a Red Legion of volunteers to aid their allies under Zedong. '''


 * British Diplomacy to ROC: We send foreign aid in the form of weapons and munitions via the British Raj, however it will take a while before these supplies reach the front line.


 * 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's latest policies continue to attract investors, reprivatise most of the German economy, maintain state control over public services and utilities, and reduce interest rates. Meanwhile, the Reich continues to implement the Final Solution, which continues to result 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 finally executes  Operation: Tannenbaum  as German forces begin crossing the border into Switzerland (Algorithm Time!) and continues work on the Uranprojekt, with the German Reich hoping to achieve a breakthrough before 1950 - 1952. Work also continues of the  Aggregat  rocket family, with work being aimed for making an efficient delivery system for nuclear weapons. At this point, it is suspected that disorganised Resistance against the Reich has effectively collapsed, despite reports of some resistance members still loose in the region.


 * 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 continue 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. The joint operation by German SS and Vichy French forces continues in order 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.
 * Kingdom of Romania: We stop the Final Solution in our territories, and we use the Jews and Romani as a serf class in the rebuilding of Odessa and other formerly Soviet-occupied cities in Transnistria. We propose a trade agreement involving food supplies to Finland. We warn Hungary to not attack the Transylvanian populace or we will declare war. We also appeal to Germany and propose the Third Vienna Awards. We mobilize for a possible Hungarian-Romanian war.
 * ​German Diplomacy: We officially accept the offer of Romania and in exchange, Germany will transfer control of Slovakia to Hungary.


 * Republic Of China: We launch a massive offensive against Japanese forces occupying our southern coastline near Taiwan and fortify our positions on the Northern Front. Meanwhile, we request 3000 M3 Stuart Tanks from the USA along with ammunition, food, water, clothes, and weapons so we can grow our army from six million to eight million in order to have more manpower than the Japanese. Also, we are addressing economic problems and corruption. These improvements are also accompanied by a government encouraged boost in war related industries like ammunition, weapon, tank and airplane manufacturing along with the increased production of other things needed by our army. Also, to get these supplies to the front line two new railroads have been built fixing our problem with supplies. Secret: [Two Commando teams raid the two main supply dumps for Japanese forces in the area where the Southern Coast Offensive will take place]. (RNG If successful Japanese moral goes down by five and Chinese moral goes up by ten)
 * Chinese Diplomacy: Also, We Encourage All Nation To Apply For Member Status In The.
 * MOD: I assume by request you mean you wish to purchase? US, please bear in mind that China cannot guarantee payment. Please refrain from Capitalizing Every Word Like This. Straight after considering this notice and changing your turn as a result, you capitalized again. I can only assume this was deliberate. If you do it again you may be banned
 * China (OOC): Wrong, we mean we need the tanks and if you give the tanks to us when the war is over we will give you Guam and ten tons of gold up front ...
 * USA: MacArthur dies in a plane crash and Omar Bradley is selected as his replacement. Due to resistance actions we firstly send a force to retake the radio station in California. We realising there is a major anti- fascism problem in the south we set up a large scale work project for the unemployed with the construction of new roads and public federally owned buildings and make it so that unemployment can result in being placed on a forced labour program which build public federally owned buildings. We also start a large scale reforestation project in agricultural area's as well as setting up mobile education centres which will stay in one area for three months teaching all the local farmers different ways of growing crops to increase agricultural productivity and we implement an artificial scarcity policy for all kinds of crops to keep prices at a fair level. We implement the bonds scheme where people sitting on large cash reserves which aren't kept moving are forced to exchange their large wealth for bonds which go up at 2.5% interest rate and will be released at a later date when the cash value of the bonds will be taken out of the system decided when people can exchange their bonds for cash. Bonds can be traded and some workers begin to be paid in them and shops accept them in place of currency. We do general tax relief on the lower class of society to allow them to be able to feed themselves. To deal with the resistance we offer hard currency to anyone who gives us information about the resistance. We offer a one-off general amnesty to all those involved in the resistance and they can return to normal life and society We create fake resistance soldiers claiming to be apart of the American resistance movement and order them to raid towns in California kill the people and generally be nasty while we publicly announce that the American resistance movement have been getting supplies from the Japanese and USSR and so we will start giving limited supplies of tanks and artillery to the RoC which stimulates the industry as well as in a push to increase ship building we commission five new aircraft carriers, five submarines, nine frigates and 17 new destroyers to be constructed primarily on the west coast although some in shipyards in New England the government promises to pay significant cash bonuses to workers who are still working at the end of the project as well as moving all of our fleet to San Francisco while more funding is placed into the Manhattan Project. We start construction of a new aircraft the Boeing Butler which is a new jet fighter and we plan to build 500 of them with production largely in the South in this six months while we also plan to build 600 Sherman tanks. Certain civil liberties which had been unfairly suspended such as right to trial and other judicial rights are reinstated and elections will be held for state level positions such as governor and state assembly so state level politics will be democratic.
 * German Diplomacy: The German people are effectively becoming concerned regarding the political reforms and advise against the re-Judaisation of America. We are also mourning the loss of MacArthur as he was a man America needed in these times of crisis.
 * American Diplomacy: We understand German concerns about problems in America and we thank you for the faith you put in our government to solve them.
 * Australia: Governor-General Lieutenant General Allen Boase declares East Papua a new Australian state from Port Moresby. East Papuans must now live under the Australian banner. We send a brigade of soldiers and a squadron of planes to the Indochinese border in support of Britain. Australia asks Britain to become a member of SEATO. Australia begins patching up land for possible testing of the Westminster Project after its completion. We set up a construction/research base by uranium deposits near Olympic Dam and a testing site codenamed "Atomic Kangaroo" somewhere in the Outback. Prime Minister Curtin returns home only to die on July 5th. Franklin Forde is replaced by Ben Chifley on July 13th. We continue to build up our military in East Papua. We also ask New Zealand to send troops to help Britain. We also put our navy, army and air force on standby in case a war with Japan breaks out on the Indochinese border.
 * British Diplomacy: We accept Australia's offer to join SEATO and we're glad that you've granted permission to help with the Westminster Project and for aiding us with troops on the Indochinese border.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We express great interest in joining SEATO and we will be glad to help you in any way we can.
 * Spain: General Franco continues his wave of government spending to stimulate the economy’s rapid growth. Interest rates are lowered to encourage borrowing and spending, as one man’s spending is another man’s income. Inflation decreases to normal levels, as the economy begins to stabilize, very much helped by the Spanish state of non-belligerency in the World War. His policies of the Labour Dawn and the Economic Recovery Plan continue, as the VLF swells with volunteers. The radar network finishes its planning stage and enters the construction phase. Thanks to help from the national work initiative and hundreds of Spanish firms, the network is expected to be functional by the end of 1946 and entirely finished by 1947. Initial construction is focused around the Southern coast, and the borders with France and Portugal, which should be finished by December. To complement this network, which will be the most comprehensive in the world, a number of forts are built along the border with Vichy France, not as a display of aggression or worry but predominantly as an economic milestone with a worthwhile purpose. Franco announces a new state health care initiative which will provide basic care for free for any Spanish citizen. He also establishes a new element of the armed forces, the Guardia Roja. The Red Guard, General Franco’s personal division, numbers around 15,000 soldiers. These men are drawn directly from the ranks of the regular army, chosen for their experience and skill, before undergoing further training and political vetting to join the elite guard. Their main duties include guarding government installations and senior officials, including Franco himself, suppressing civil unrest, supporting the SSI in prolific or violent arrests, escorting major political prisoners, and eliminating revolt in overseas territory, with the support of the regular army. The division is known for its brutal tactics and fanatical loyalty to General Franco, as well as its haughty superiority to regular units. Red Guards outrank regular army soldiers and are known to act dismissively towards army officers, who many view as inferior. They are characterized by their black M40 helmets, emblazoned with a small Falangist flag emblem on either side, and stiff black uniforms with the same Falangist flag on both lapels. They resemble SS Stormtroopers in this sense, although the red Falangist emblems give entirely different connotations to it. Colloquially, they are known as the ‘Blood Guard’ (Guardia de Sangre) and the ‘Skeletons’, probably due to their brutal and violent tactics in suppressing revolt, their relative unaccountability in the eyes of the law, and their fanatical loyalty. The prototype of the Spanish tank programme is completed, and production begins ahead of schedule. 100 are to be produced before the year is out, with a further 2000 built in the first half of 1946. The artillery bought from Germany continues to be manufactured under license, with almost 3000 now in place in border and coastal fortifications. The Italian armored vehicles are shipped to the Spanish territory in Africa for patrol duties. Meanwhile, construction begins of a new Spanish naval fleet, to replenish the naval forces decimated by the civil war years before. 12 more Canarias-class heavy cruisers are planned, to add to the two that remain afloat, along with five Espana-class battleships and 18 destroyers. The current fleet of the two aforementioned Canarias-class cruisers, one Reina Victoria Eugenia-class cruiser, one Blas de Lezo-class cruiser, three Almirante Cervera-class cruisers, 16 submarines and 20 assorted destroyers finishes renewal and refurbishment and begins deployment in the Med, with five of the destroyers, two cruisers and three submarines sent to Africa as a continuous Spanish presence. In Madrid, the government launches a project to develop advanced jet planes within the next decade, capable of gaining air superiority over almost every other aircraft. Military recruitment increases to bring the standing army from 500,000 men to one million, whilst all men between 18 and 40 are required to attend reserve drills and training in case of full conscription. SECRET: FIVE SUBMARINES ARE DEPLOYED TO THE PORTUGUESE COAST WHERE THEY ARE TO REMAIN HIDDEN AND AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. PLANS ARE DRAWN FOR RAPID TROOP MOBILIZATION TO THE PORTUGUESE BORDER
 * Spanish Diplomacy to Germany: We would like to acquire the manufacturing licenses for the Type XX1 U-Boat and buy 300 Type V11 and 190 Type IX U-Boats.
 * SECRET Spanish Diplomacy to Germany and Italy: We request help for a Spanish Fascist invasion of Portugal. The Reich has already promised the help of the Luftwaffe, but we also request the support of the Italian navy to blockage Portugal, and ground support from both nations. A successful invasion will ensure Fascist, sympathetic control of the Mediterranean’s West access point, and so of all shipping from the West, although Gibraltar is a key British stronghold. It will advance fascism in the progress of the new world.
 * SECRET Diplomacy to Germany: ' Franco has prepared a collaboration of Spain's top scientists and experts for transit to Germany. He asks for Spanish involvement in the Uranprojekt, which Spain will provide extra funding, equipment, laboratories and scientists for.
 * German Secret Diplomacy: We accept the scientists and the acquisition of the purchasing licences, but would recommend avoiding Portugal until the British blockade is over.


 * American Resistance: We laugh at the so-called "American" government's attempt to take the radio station, responding by attempting to take more stations around San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Portland, and Seattle. (RNG). We call to our brothers in Mexico to take to the battlefield against the Fascists. We mobilize 55,000 troops stationed in Florida to occupy state via Tallahassee (ALGORITHM REQUIRED). We continue to recruit more, especially Jews. We work to send military personnel undercover in the government forces, mimicking what they did in our military. The Resistance-controlled "Free San Francisco" newspaper denounces the Fascist leader, pointing out they are destroying their own towns and infrastructure in California. (SECRET:  We will give payment, great reward and amnesty to anyone who gives us the location of the Manhattan Project).
 * AR SECRET DIPLOMACY: We ask Japan and Mexico for aid and personnel for the re-igniting war, including new tanks, ships and bombers.
 * OOC AR: I'm using 55,000 troops as an estimate, but could a mod give me a more plausible figure? Thanks.
 * OOC: It's a big commitment of your troops (like nearly all of them) but it is reasonable
 * US: We move 200,000 troops with armour, air and fleet support to retake Florida in a decisive battle with the full intention of wiping out the resistance forces while we make it criminal to read these newspapers or listen to these radio stations and we disable all radio stations on the west coast which we still hold and start to take the back ones captured.


 * Canada: Canada will put in an application to join SEATO. We will also send spies into The United States to find out information about The Manhattan Project.
 * AUSTRALIAN DIPLOMACY: Request accepted, will take certain troop commitments to maintain peace for the Asia/Pacific region and the world.
 * Saudi Arabia: We begin to work on opening jobs by sending people to oil silos and to the army. A draft is made for men from 17-25 to join the army fearing a World War can happen at any moment. Military drills are held across the country mostly at the south. Schools are open in urban areas to improve the nation's future. With military drills in the south (Secret: This is a cover for a massing troops on the North Yemen border.) 30,000 troops, 500 tanks and 100 warplanes begin to plan for a "training drill" called Operation: Desert Hill.
 * MOD: OTL The Saudi army numbered around 15,000 from a total population of six million. I think you first have to understand that Saudi Arabia was a collection of tribes at the time, and national troops were raised from levies to the King, not via conscription. Mass conscription would have been rejected outright by tribal leaders, as warriors fought for their tribes not the nation. However, I can accept an increase in the number levied. The majority of forces were on foot or on camel. Since I find it unlikely that the Lend Lease agreement took place due to the ATL nature of the US, you would not have been equipped with any US tanks in 1943 as you did OTL, meaning you have a significant lack of tanks. In fact, you may well have none. This is something you will have to deal with via the international market, I am afraid. 
 * Sweden: Build fortification near coastal city to defend the nation an continue to trade with Germany to buy peace. The Swedish government continue to welcome European refugees (Jews, resistant, etc). With the war over, our trade ship can easily trade with the outside world and thus offer Britain and Canada an iron trade deal. We secretly host Norwegian and Danish resistance center deep north to prepare the liberation of Scandinavia in the future. Two war plans are made by the army to prepare for a potential German invasion and an invasion of Scandinavia in case of a collapse of the Reich.
 * Japanese Korea's colonial government suggests to the Imperial Diet, the legislative body of Japan proper ( MOD RESPONSE ), to implement a five-year long plan to Korean independence beginning immediately after the War ends. All territories will be independent with the exception of the province, which could be integrated as a Japanese prefecture. Korea will still several laws (Koreans will have a second Japanese surname, and Katakana will be the co-official script of Korea) implemented during the Japanese colonial period, though will be given more flexibility to make the Koreans feel less hostile towards the Japanese. Meanwhile, Korean nationalist movements flourish in North Korea, with guerrilla warfare becoming common.
 * Japan (MODERATOR): The Imperial Diet explicitly rejects the plan and is to have the current governor replaced effective immediately for even considering such a plan.
 * Just filling in for Vatonica for now. - Ace009 
 * Ireland: Ireland continues to improve its economy and military. Fortifications are built, and military recruits more Irish troops. The population is slightly increasing again at Dublin, but there will be some residential buildings that may be planned on a capital city. The ports look to be planned to built as well.
 * Turkey: Economy, infrastructure and military improve. The population continues to grow, more roads and railways are built, while new buildings are built in cities. OTL Technology of something continues to be reached. Fortifications are built, and the military recruits more Turkish troops. More armored fighting vehicles, warships and warplanes are built and added to the military in case of invasion. The country continues to trade with some powerful nations around the world, probably Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, USA and Japan.
 * British Empire: The blockade of Nazi Germany continues and will not end until Nazi Germany stops the Final Solution. Massive industrialization of the Empire continues, with schools, hospitals, roads, and houses being developed as well as a national highway system We also continue to encourage the establishment and growth of businesses and try to attract investors. More investment is placed into the Westminster project and we continue to send more military to the Japanese-Indochinese border and British Indonesia. We continue to accept Jewish and Resistant refugees into our country and we begin to work on the Imperium class of rockets to coincide with the Westminster project.

 * German Reich: The German Reich continues 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,  Göring  continues with Hitler's policies to attract investors, reprivatise most of the German economy, maintain state control over public services and utilities, and reduce interest rates. Meanwhile, the Reich effectively ends the Final Solution as  Göring  takes power in Germany. In military terms, Operation: Tannenbaum continues as planned, although the securing of Switzerland may take longer than previously anticipated, even with our forces breaking through Swizz defences. Despite this,  work  continues  on the Uranprojekt, with the German Reich hoping to achieve a breakthrough around 1948. Work also continues of the  Aggregat  rocket family, with work being aimed for making an efficient delivery system for nuclear weapons. The funeral of Adolf Hitler goes without incident and  Göring  orders a memorial built in his honour in Braunau am Inn, where Hitler was born, as well as a memorial to the soldiers that have perished in the service of the German Reich.


 * General Government: The General Government continues to tighten its grip on the region, and as per the recent rise of Rommel, stops the Final Solution. Military force is used against Polish Resistance forces, and mass executions continue against their members.
 * Vichy France: The government of Vichy France continues to tighten its grip and also stops the Final Solution. The joint operation by German SS and Vichy French forces continues in order to root out the French Resistance and wipe them out.
 * Occupied Serbia: Expansion of the Serbian economy continues, while genocide against Untermensch in the region stops. 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.
 * British Diplomacy: We sincerily thank Führer  Göring for ending the horrible human atrocity, the Final Solution. In response to the end of the Final Solution, the British naval blockade is lifted and we return to British shores. Since the Final Solution has ended, we hope to begin to normalize relations with Nazi Germany, and propose a trade agreement. Our belief is that through cooperation we will both benefit our people.
 * Ireland: Ireland continues to improve economy and military. The population still slightly increasing, but potentially there's some downs at the moment. Irish military continues to recruit 250 Irish troops. The fortifications have been built just in coast of Dublin, as well bunkers in case of invasion and any threats of others. The residential buildings look to be in construction but they're still incomplete. Ports looks to be planned to built in coast of Dublin, which is not yet built.
 * American Resistance: A disappointed Patton barely escapes Florida, but broadcasting intensifies on the few free stations left in the area. Recruitment and supplies also amplify. We send air strikes to cut off the Fascist Navy at the Panama Canal. We begin evacuating Jews in the South, where we are losing our grip. (SECRET: We carry out massive military coups to overthrow state governments in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Florida (RNG for each).) ​
 * NOT plausible regarding the strikes against Panama nor the state coups. Sorry. - Ace009


 * China: After the death of General Chiang Kai-shek his successor Wong Lu Xidan announces the first democratic election of the KMT to be in 1948. This raises the popularity of the KMT by massive amounts and results in a massive jump in enlistments into the army with 750,000 new recruits. Also, We send two million troops we were holding in reserve to halt the Japanese Offensive and we officially send notice to Tibet to join the Republic of China as an Autonomous Region. Meanwhile, we request the USA send more Aid like tanks, aircraft and ammuntion, Preferably 800 tanks and 400 aircraft.
 * Tibet (MOD): We outright refuse and appeal to the British Empire over our independence.
 * China (Secret): We Create And Fund A Communist Rebel Group In Tibet Under The Pretext Of Re-Claiming Former Territory. We Supply The Tibetan People's Liberton Front (TPLF) With 20 Tanks, and Aircraft, And Help Build A Base For The Rebels In Four Sisters Mountian. By The Time "Fort" Four Sister (TPLF Base) Was Finished Being Built The Rebels Had Received Another 40 Tanks And Had 400,000 Soldiers Fighting For Them And Counting The Red Legion From The USSR They Have 600,000 Soldiers. 
 * US: Using directional finding radio's we seize any resistance radio with rapid response forces. The US government sets those work on construction projects to establish new housing in New England for homeless people to live in and the houses are sold onto business which have connections with the government. 700 new Butler Jets are constructed and a 600 new Sherman tanks are ordered in factories across the country. Five aircraft carriers, eight submarines, 13 frigates and 24 new destroyers are ordered to be built with utmost haste. Four aircraft carriers, three battleships, two submarines, 12 destroyers in San Francisco while three aircraft carriers, three battleships, a submarines, eight destroyers in Boston with one aircraft carrier, two battleships, six destroyers in Miami. A new army of a million men is raised and trained with 300,000 men stationed on the St Lawrence river, 150,000 in Seattle, 75,000 in San Francisco with the rest stationed in barracks across the country. We commission new landing craft for both coastal and river crossing and men in San Francisco and on the St Lawrence river are taught how to use them. Women in the cities under 40 and with no children under five are made to do work schemes where they have to work six hours a day and are paid equal to men doing the same jobs increasing lower class family incomes as well as increasing productivity in industry. George Marshall along with several other high ranking political prisoners are released on the condition they remain in their home state and report to their local sheriff's office once a week and they are given veteran's benefits befitting their rank or are offered new military or civilian jobs. Work on the Manhattan project continues with a steady stream of funding and recruitment occurring while high levels of secrecy are maintained. We demand Canada return Alaska, hand over the traitor former government and allow US officials to maintain checks on Canadian intelligence to ensure no more spying on America occurs. 


 * Italian Empire: Italy pledges allegiance to Spain (SECRET) and will deploy part of the Mediterranean fleet to help Spain in any military offensives in Europe if Spain wants it.(SECRET OVER) The recession has hit Italy and many businesses have been affected but the government is dealing with the financial crisis positively. Economic reforms through out the empire are immediately implemented. To save money the government will continue to make the army smaller. It is made clear however, that Italy's first objective, beside recovering from debt and the recession, is to build up a new navy in the hope of naval supremacy in the Mediterranean. The central government have promised that this will be done by the end of the decade.
 * Sweden: We continue to maintain trade with the major powers and welcome European political refugees and Jews into our nation. We propose the creation of a Jewish State to the great powers as Sweden is becoming a safe heaven for European Jews. Norwegian and Danish resistance continue to be offered shelter and supplies in secrecy. We work on establishing jobs for the Swedish and European refugee that arrive in mass. Factories pop up and military spending is slightly increased to expand our army, navy and air force. This indirectly creates jobs in shipyards and factories.


 * Spain: Franco announces the acceleration of the 1945 Military Budget Paper, to stimulate further growth and patriotism. The new tank programme, which has already produced 2100 of the new tank, now designated the S-1, will see expansion of production lines as the Prison Labour scheme (for every day spent labouring for the government, two days are cut from sentence- purely optional scheme for minor criminals) of around 17,000 volunteer inmates begin work on non-volatile production tasks. A further 3,000 should be finished by the end of the year. The new fleet nears completion of the hull construction phase, and work intensifies at the docks as fortifications are built to protect Spain’s naval forces from attack by air or sea. Manufacturing begins of the recently acquired Type XXI U-Boats, complete with Spanish modifications, with a production target of four a month. Meanwhile, recruitment increases once more to garner a further 1,000,000 troops, as intensive training continues for those already a part of the armed forces. The Guardia de Sangre sees a significant expansion to its elite ranks as 15,000 more experienced troops are admitted to its elite and hallowed halls. Patriotism is high across Spain, thanks in part to the recent annexation of Andorra, and Franco surprises many by diversifying his government appointees with candidates that best suit the job, rather than Falangist fanatics, although these new officials are heavily vetted for loyalty by the ISS. In Spanish air bases around the nation, thousands of fighter planes and bombers train day and night in drills, with the aim of becoming some of the best trained pilots in the world. The VLF announces it has missed its target of 1,000 schools, although it has completed its target of ten new hospitals and surpassed its target off 239 local clinics. As a result, it launches a new campaign to attract volunteers, with the slogan: “Building Spain’s future”, gaining 20,000 new volunteers in its first few months. Inflation remains low as interest rates are frozen at 1% until economic stability is announced. Franco announces a large increase in GDP, and hence GDP per capita, as the Spanish standard of living increases steadily. SECRET (June): 50 Type Type VII U-Boats secretly take up positions in Portuguese home waters, whilst 30 long range Type IX U-Boats set sail for Africa, where they await further orders to disrupt supply lines with Portuguese Overseas territory. Garrisons are steadily increased along the Portuguese border, as plans are drawn for invasion, and the airbase at Salamanca swells with Italian and German aircraft as per agreement. SECRET ENDS. On the 1st of July 1946, 2 AM (allowing time for new recruits to undergo full training), Spanish troops amassed at Badajoz launch an almighty assault across Portugal's largest flat border region. At 00:01 AM that morning, 500 G.55 Centauro fighters, 200 Macchi M.C. 205 Veltro Greyhound fighter bombers and 400 Savoia-Marchetti S.M 79-I bombers of the Italian Air Force took off from Salamanca airfield for the 500 km round flight to Porto, where intensive bombing begins. 100 Heinkel 177 Grief bombers, 200 G.55 Centauro fighters, 100 FW 60 Condor bombers, 1,000 Me BF 109s and 200 Junkers 88 dive bombers of the Spanish air force attacked the area surrounding Elvas, decimating any Portuguese resistance. A Luftwaffe force of 200 Ju 88s, 100 Dornier 217s, 300 Heinkel 111s, 300 Me BF 110s and 1,000 Me BF 109s attacks various key targets around the nation, decimating infrastructure and radar systems. Upon the official declaration of war, the 100 Spanish U-Boats hidden along the coast begin to disrupt shipping, as the Spanish and Italian fleets begin a blockade. 1,000,000 Spanish troops cross the border, supported by 50,000 volunteer troops from fascist nations around the globe, such as those in the Condor Legion.

 
 * Spanish Diplomacy (DoW): We hereby declare war on Portugal, a nation that has been Spanish claimed territory from the dawn of time. Resistance is futile: surrender to avoid severe consequences. 
 * Note to Germany and Italy OOC: For easier coordination and a description I have put your troop numbers in for you. Feel free to change your nations pledged contribs. as you see fit.
 * Person: It's fine, Oct. He can invade Portugal 1. He is a dictatorship he can do what he wants. 2. He did take the time to harbour anti-Portuguese feelings plus an Iberian union was always the desire of Germany and Andorra. Well, the Bishop guy can keep his princeship and Vichy France is hardly ina position to intervene.
 * Portugal (MODERATOR): In spite of the current Spanish forces being able to obliterate our troops, we do not surrender and instead ask for Britain to join our side
 * Numbers way too big. Spain only had a maximum of 600,000 troops after the Spanish Civil War, and even then, you wouldn't want every single soldier in Portugal. Franco only had 26,000 prisoners under his regime. Spain can't hold more than 1,000 schools, and 20,000 volunteers in a few months is implausible (unless they aren't volunteers).
 * That 1,000 schools in newly operational since 1939, just so you know. And Spain can, UK population now is only three times that of Spain then, and yet we have 25,000 schools. I'm not sure if I have the same source as you, but I read he had over 40,000 in his concentration camps. Finally, during the Civil War the troop total was over one million, although almost 200,000 died, and that was without legitimate mass conscription. The VLF has around 50,000 members, whilst the UK Boys Scout Association list 400,000 members, all from a much smaller age range in a democratic nation, which is eight times more, despite a population only three times the size of Spain in 1947. However, I agree there are too many in Portugal, and will withdraw 200,000 troops.

However, I agree there are too many in Portugal, and will withdraw 200,000 troops.
 * Spanish Diplomacy: We request the immediate and unconditional surrender of Portugal, in light of the results of the invasion, in order to prevent the decimation and destruction of a renowned and reputable culture and people. MOD
 * Canada: Canada declines to return Alaska to The United States and adopts it into Canada as the 3rd Canadian Territory. Canada denies having sent spies into America to gather information. Canada sends a diplomat to Great Britain to discuss the potential acquisition of The Dominion of Newfoundland.
 * US Diplomacy: The US as a result of Canadian refusal to even negotiate on perfectly reasonable demands to respect US territorial integrity. As a result of this the US declares a state of war with Canadian government until a resolution for the conflict over Alaska and housing of criminals can be resolved and so we invade Canada and Alaska. We send 20,000 troops to take Ottawa with 400 tanks and 400 aircraft in support of the invasion while we send 20,000 troops, 100 tanks and 50 aircraft stationed in San Francisco to sail with one aircraft carrier, a battleship and six destroyers to land in Anchorage and seize the city while 20,000 soldiers supported by 100 tanks and 50 aircraft are sent to take Vancouver. We cite the reasons as economic to gain fishing and drilling rights, a pre- emptive strike to counter growing Canadian aggression, attacking to ensure the US remains the most powerful in North America as well as retake Alaska which was seized by Canada illegally. We also start a partial blockade of trade. We invite Canada to the Treaty of Washington.
 * Colombia: The situation continues to deteriorate, prompting communist inspired strikes across the country. The military, fearing a communist revolution, removes the president from power and sends him into exile. A military dictatorship is established and martial law is declared. Any opposition to the new regime is rounded up and sent to prison camps. The unemployed are put to work in newly created mines and farms. A new initiative is created to update and improve infrastructure. Finally the new government begins propaganda broadcasts across the country, promising to reclaim land lost by ineffective and weak presidents.


 * Australia: Australia calls for a conference of SEATO members in the SEATO Conference Building in Canberra to discuss the posibilty of a war with Japan. We ask to by one aircraft carrier from Britain to complete our fleet. Australia keeps its military on alert for any Japanese incursion south. Australia sends about 1,000 rifles and sten guns to China, the small number is because of Australia's concern with the looming power of Japan and wishes to keep a prepared military. Anti-aircraft defenses are set up around Darwin.
 * British Empire: We agree to sell an aircraft carrier for 2.5 billion British pounds. We attend the first SEATO meeting in Canberra regarding the issue of Japan. Any information on that meeting shall be secret unless a country is a member of SEATO.
 * Kingdom of Romania: We stop the Final Solution in our territories, and we use the Jews and Romani as a serf class in the rebuilding of Odessa and other formerly Soviet-occupied cities in Transnistria. We propose a trade agreement involving food supplies to Finland. We begin taking over Northern Transylvania as part of the deal.
 * Turkey: Economy, infrastructure and military improves. The population continues to grow, more roads and railways are built, while new buildings are built in cities. OTL Technology of something continues to be reached. Fortifications are built, and the military recruits more Turkish troops. More armored fighting vehicles, warships and warplanes are built and added to the military in case of invasion. The country continues to trade with some powerful nations around the world, probably Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, USA and Japan.
 * British Empire: We are shocked at the American invasion of Canada and we demand that the United States stops its invasion of Canada immediately, or else we will demonstrate the full might of the British military, for an attack on one of Britain's dominions is an attack on the British Empire herself, thus we declare war on the United States of America to defend Canada, and mobilize our forces, implementing a draft and transitioning to a war time economy, preparing for an invasion. As a result, investment into the Westminster project is greatly invested in At the same time we enter into negotiations with the United States, hoping to end the American invasion of Canada. If the negotiations fail, however, we have our military on standby. Our hope is that diplomacy and cooperation will win this war.

1946.5
'''American preparations for nuclear testing begin to approach completion and a nuclear device is expected to be detonated early next year. '''

'''Various resistance movements prop up across Korea, and various disorganised movements that already existed prior are beginning to coordinate themselves in the region. '''

'''The German ambassador to the US (backed by Göring himself) requests to the US that Canada be annexed and rejects any negotiations with the British Empire or its Dominions. '''

'''Japan effectively begins to retaliate against any opposition by burning villages and destroying entire population centres. '''

'''The American Resistance begins to lose support as a result of bad leadership and the recent policies of Fascist America. '''

'''Enrico Fermi is found missing and most of his work on the nuclear bomb is found to be destroyed. He is presumed to have been assassinated despite sightings in the West Coast. '''

'''US forces have secured Ottawa, Vancouver and Anchorage with limited casualties on both sides but with fall of the capital and being pushed back decisively on all three fronts the Canadian people and parliament want to at the very least negotiate a form of agreement in the Treaty of Washington. '''
 * German Reich: The Reich continues 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,  Göring  continues with Hitler's policies to attract investors, reprivatise most of the German economy, maintain state control over public services and utilities, and reduce interest rates. In military terms, Operation: Tannenbaum continues as our forces begin to approach Geneva and Zurich (Algorithm Time!), with several bombing runs and V2 attacks occuring in Bern (RNG Time!). W ork  continues  on the Uranprojekt, with the German Reich hoping to achieve a breakthrough around 1948. Work also continues of the  Aggregat  rocket family, with work being aimed for making an efficient delivery system for nuclear weapons. In other technological news, the German Reich announces the commencement of testing for the A8 (V3) rocket as a short range ballistic missile (with conventional explosives, of course). The V3 is expected to enter mass production by 1948. The German Reich Service Memorial in Braunau am Inn continues construction and completion is expected around late 1947. We request to the Italian Government that assistance be provided in Operation: Tannenbaum.


 * General Government: The General Government continues to tighten its grip on the region, and as per the recent rise of Rommel, stops the Final Solution. Military force is used against Polish Resistance forces, and mass executions continue against their members.
 * Vichy France: The government of Vichy France continues to tighten its grip and also stops the Final Solution. The joint operation by German SS and Vichy French forces continues in order to root out the French Resistance and wipe them out.
 * Occupied Serbia: Expansion of the Serbian economy continues, while genocide against Untermensch in the region stops. 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.
 * Damage of Bern Bombings RNG: 51/100 = Some of Bern is obliterated, but damage is somewhat significant.
 * Ireland: Military and infrastructure improve, military recruits 150 men while the population is still good at the moment. The residential buildings in Dublin are now completed, as it may planned that the roads need to be built as well in capital city. The school is yet to be opened in Dublin, so it has become that it could be opened soon. Meanwhile, the warships are built, while the fortifications have been set up and completed its construction.
 * Australia: We prepare for the inevitable war with the USA. The Australian navy readies in Jervis Bay. A small fleet will be left behind to guard against Japan. We accelerate Atomic research in the hopes of getting the bomb. We ask Chie become part of SEATO and send an ambassador to Mexico for the possibility of Mexico joining (MOD RESPONSE). We also ask Peru, Columbia, and Ecuador to join in case war breaks out in South America. We also begin an increased production of war materiels. We begin a draft (RNG).We call another meeting of SEATO nations and the United States into a meeting in Los Angeles to discuss the US role in SEATO against Japanese Aggression.
 * Mexico (MODERATOR): The government of Mexico declines membership at the moment, fearing the possibility of an American invasion.
 * US: We agree to the meeting in LA. Second SEATO Meeting is being held here.
 * China: After talking with the UK and Other SEATO Member Nations they have agreed to allow the peaceful annexation of Tibet which will be complete by January of 1947. Also in the meantime we employ a Work Quota for all tank factories setting the Production Goal of Chinese Chung III Tanks which are a Heavier version of the M3 Stuart Tank at 16 Tanks per Week in hopes of putting more tanks on the front line with hope that 417 new tanks will be made by January of 1947 and that by July of 1947 that another 843 new tanks will be made. Also, two massive offensives against Nanjing And Shanghai are planned with each offensive consisting of 400 tanks, 200 aircraft, and two million troops. Also on top of this a road through the jungles of British Burma is built to make the transport of supplies to China easier and also allow British troops easier access to the front line. Also, we fortify the Capital of Chongquin against Attack. Also we conscript One Million more troops into the army to replace the Milion lost during the war so far.


 * Turkey: Economy, infrastructure and military improves. The population continues to grow, more roads and railways are built, while new buildings are built in cities. OTL Technology of something continues to be reached. Fortifications are built, and the military recruits more Turkish troops. More armored fighting vehicles, warships and warplanes are built and added to the military in case of invasion. The country continues to trade with some powerful nations around the world, probably Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, USA and Japan.
 * USSR: We begin to rebuild areas still affected by the war with Germany. We try to ease tensions with Germany and try to negotiate trade deals. We begin the process of incorporating northern Persia into the USSR as a republic. We increase our army size and begin building farms in Ukraine. We try to influence Afghanistan. We trade with Turkey and try to gain more influence in their nation.
 * British Diplomacy: We request to trade with the Soviet Union.
 * US Diplomacy: With the permission of the US government, certain US corporations want to start importing cheap raw materials and export high value finished goods into the USSR.
 * Swedish Dip: We offer the Soviet Union a trade agreement to boost relation between our country.
 * Sweden: We maintain armed neutrality and continue to trade with the nation of the world. Resistance movement in Scandinavia continue to receive support in secret with training camp deep in our country, weapons and money in the hope of weakening the Reich hold in the region. Work on the economy continue with military production increase in case of a German invasion. A complex network of cell is establish with hidden weapon depot throughout the country in case of German invasion. The invasion of Switzerland cause a shock to the public and the government seek to strengten tie with Britain and the free world, throughout a series of secret agreements like allowing British intelligence to base in our country to gather intelligence on Germany, contact and maintain relation with European resistance cell or else if they have request. We propose the creation of a Jewish State in some undertermined areas.
 * British Diplomacy: We are thankful that Sweden has opened up to us and we accept the secret deal and set up an intelligence base there and we propose to open up trade between our two nations. We send monetary aid to build up Swedish military production and the Swedish economy. We recognize the Swedish proposal for the creation of a Jewish state, we just have to discuss where we can establish it.
 * Swedish Dip: We accept the trade deal and propose to hold an international conference to all great powers to discuss the Jewish State issue.


 * Saudi Arabia: We begin to work on opening jobs by sending people to oil silos and to the army. A draft is made for men from 17-25 to join the army fearing a World War can happen at any moment. Military drills are held across the country mostly at the south. Schools are open in urban areas to improve the nation's future. With military drills in the south (Secret: This is a cover for a massing troops on the North Yemen border.) 30,000 troops, 50 tanks and 100 warplanes begin to plan for a "training drill" called Operation: Desert Hill. We ask the USSR for a huge arm trade in return for cheap price of oil. We begin to work on uniting tribes by holding every five years to work on working with each other and the government. (especially at war).
 * British Diplomacy: We request to trade arms for oil.
 * Saudi Arabia Dip: We accept the deal.
 * Canada: Canada reluctantly accepts The Treaty of Washington and returns Alaska and New England to The United States.
 * British Empire: We sign the Treaty of Washington, officially ending the Canadian-American war and ushering in an era of peace and cooperation with the United States as they have joined SEATO. While peace has been achieved we continue to militarize by continuing the draft and remaining in a wartime economy. The reason for this is so we are prepared for war against our new enemy, the Empire of Japan, and since we are already mobilized it makes no sense to demobilize. We are preparing for war because our sovereignty is threatened in the region and Imperial Japan are barbaric oppressors. In particular, we send 400 tanks, 500,000 troops, a battleship and an escort fleet to British Malaysia where we stage secret plans to invade the island of Mindanao specifically the city of Davao. We also send 200 aircraft, 200 tanks and 250,000 troops to the British Burmese-Japanese Indochinese border. The Pacific Royal Fleet also stations in Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, 2000 RAF forces are in standby as well as the Atlantic Royal fleet in case that Nazi Germany declares war on us. The Westminster project continues development, with funding being poured into it to be completed at the beginning of the new year, 1947. The continuation of the war time economy increases industrialization of the British Empire, increasing the production of factories, roads, schools, and hospitals throughout the Empire. The National Highway system continues to be implemented. This industrialization of the British Empire ensures that our citizens are at full employment and we continue to encourage businesses. We begin to transition from producing civilian goods and materials to military goods and materials and we prepare to ration food for the coming war effort. The NHS continues to be implemented. The British government orders a check on the Royal Navy, and it discovers that we have over 1400 ships, including 20 battleships and battle cruisers, 100 cruisers, 236 destroyers, 55 escorts/patrol vessels, and 70 submarines. We establish the British Pacific Fleet for the purpose of war against Imperial Japan sending it to British Malayasia we send nine aircraft carriers and two maintenance carriers, carrying 750 aircraft, five battleships, the HMS Howe, HMS King George V, HMS Duke of York, the HMS Anson, and the HMS Prince of Wales. We also send 11 cruisers, 35 destroyers, 14 frigates, 44 small ships, 31 subs, and 54 ships in the fleet train. At home we increase the production of Lancaster bombers in an attempt to be able to carry a nuclear weapon once the Westminster project is complete. The remainder of the Royal Navy remains part of the Home Fleet, including the new battleship HMS Vanguard.
 * US diplomacy: We request permission to station an invasion force in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia in preparation for a war with Japan and an invasion of the Philippines.
 * British diplomacy: We grant permission to station invasion forces in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.
 * US: With the situation in Canada resolved we pull our troops back from Ottawa and Vancouver while our troops remain in Anchorage and after the SEATO summit Omar Bradley flies to Anchorage where backed up with reinforcements of another 10,000 men the US re-establish itself in Alaska and it is re-instated as a state. Five aircraft carriers, two battleships, six frigates, five submarines and 12 destroyers are sent to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia along with 500,000 troops to be escorted in a series of convoys over six months while 400 Butler Jets and 500 Sherman tanks are sent with the invasion force. Six carriers, two battleships, six frigates, five submarines and 13 destroyers are moved to San Diego along with 300,000 troops, 400 aircraft and 500 tanks. Two carriers, two battleships, six frigates, four submarines and nine destroyers are held in New York. Two specialist B-29 Bombers are converted to carry a nuke which is expected to be available for early next year. 800 M3 Stuarts, 700 Butler jets are ordered from factories and in an attempt to increase the number of people available work the law excluding women with children under five years of age from working is lowered to three so as to increase industrial output. 90,000 troops are stationed in New England to block a Canadian attack. An additional six aircraft carriers, seven submarines, 11 frigates and 25 destroyers as well as a large increase in the number of supply ships are all made in shipyards. With Enrico Fermi having disappeared thankfully because all his work was stored on site as well as at his home apparently we still all have his work but since Enrico may have gone over to the resistance as he has been sighted in the west coast we put out a $40,000 reward for information leading to his return while all sightings of him are investigated. Roosevelt and 18 other former members of the US government are put on trial for treason with 11 death penalties, three life sentences (including Roosevelt), three innocent and two ten-year sentences with this the US government in exile are finished. Those imprisoned are moved to a special wing so as not to incite others to rebel where they are kept in relative comfort. there are still remains of the resistance on the west coast and so rewards are offered for people who turn in resistance members and another amnesty is offered in which all those who turn themselves in now will only have to serve one year in a low security prison. In economics a vast new transportation project is offered to a number of construction companies in which over the next ten years an ambitious motorway system connecting the country together allowing rapid movement of people, cargo and troops.
 * It does say in the event it was destroyed please ask Ace.
 * I am a mod, too, but it's silly to claim that this knowledge could be removed. Fine, he can trash his own copies but copies will have been made which he doesn't have access to. If he can get to the heart of the project and destroy every copy of his own work then he could destroy everything in the Manhattan Project and he has colleagues who understand what he wrote.
 * Well, Person, truth be told, not all the work was destroyed. :P - Ace009
 * Spain: The VLF, despite its name, is made compulsory to all employed 18-45 year old, who must spend a minimum of one hour a week committed to the service. It is extended from basic labour projects to other tasks in the VLF Community programme. This scheme supports the elderly and infirm, by providing them with partime careers, and also helps many other initiatives. The Fangalist Youth is established for 12 to 18 year olds, a scout organization for the Spanish young, which heavily supports Franco and his regime. Meanwhile, Spain pushes steadily towards Lisbon, and prepares for Portugal's assimilation. In Spanish conquered territory, the 'Blood Guard' is fierce in its elimination of opposition. Key figures in the Portuguese regional governments are arrested and investigated, in a move the press calls "The Second Spanish Inquisition". Communities that resist violently and kill Spanish soldiers have the Spanish losses multiplied tenfold on themselves. However, Franco leaves strict instructions to treat the Portuguese people kindly, and Spanish troops who plunder, murder, rape or engage in similar atrocities are publicly shot. The Portuguese-Spanish border continues to be reinforced, as does the Spanish coastline. Portugal nears defeat and is at breaking point (War Effort timer of one year means it will collapse this turn). As Spanish armored units approach Lisbon and Porto, Franco once more demands Portugal's surrender (MOD), as anything otherwise will only result in further pointless losses to Portugal's population and infrastructure. See War Algo and Effort timer on talk page for confirmation of a Spanish seizure of the Lisbon region).
 * Japanese Korea's new governor-general writes a proposal to the Imperial Diet to incorporate the puppet state of Manchukuo into Japanese Korea ( MOD RESPONSE ), ousting the Qing imperial household in the process. He states that by doing so, nationalistic and separatist sentiment among the Manchus are reduced and the Japanese central government's control over the strategic Manchuria (which serves as a buffer/deterrent against the Soviets and the Chinese, and a base of operations) is solidified. The new governor-general focuses on Korea's socio-economic development and making it less of a colonial economy but giving it more financial independence as the bulwark to potential Chinese and Soviet aggression. Restrictions on Korean commoners from getting more than secondary education are lifted and the literacy rate and the student enrolment ratio rises. More money is funded into Korea's military, with the amount of Korean volunteers burgeoning to a total of 500,000 personnel.
 * Japan (MODERATOR): We agree to the integration of Manchuria and Korea so long as the Imperial Army has emergency powers to keep insurgents under control.
 * Kingdom of Romania: We stop the Final Solution in our territories, and we use the Jews and Romani as a serf class in the rebuilding of Odessa and other formerly Soviet-occupied cities in Transnistria. We propose a trade agreement involving food supplies to Finland. We begin taking over Northern Transylvania as part of the deal.
 * Bulgaria: We halt the final solution in our areas. We secretly start building up on the border with Turkey. The Jews are released but under strict restrictions. Within Bulgaria, we start posting propaganda to sway the population into taking what was ours from Turkey.

 * German Reich: The Reich continues 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. At least eight transport craft, and 15 new U-Boats begin construction around this point, along with 12 new destroyers and 11 corvettes. In economic news,  Göring  continues with Hitler's policies to attract investors, reprivatise most of the German economy, maintain state control over public services and utilities, and reduce interest rates. In military terms, Operation: Tannenbaum continues as our forces capture Geneva and Zurich. They now begin their push into Bern, which is (following the bombings) now assaulted by Fallschirmjäger dropping into the city. (Algorithm Time!) W ork  continues  on the Uranprojekt, with the German Reich hoping to achieve a breakthrough around late 1947, following the rushing of the Uranprojekt at the request of Führer  Göring and the Wehrmacht, in turn caused by the recent American test . As a result, we begin preparations for a nuclear test in Algeria, codenamed: Projekt Düne and preparations for the nuclear test begin. Work also continues of the  Aggregat  rocket family, with work being aimed for making an efficient delivery system for nuclear weapons. In other technological news, the German Reich announces the commencement of testing for the A8 (V3) rocket as a short range ballistic missile (with conventional explosives, of course). The V3 is expected to enter mass production by 1948. The German Reich Service Memorial in Braunau am Inn continues construction and completion is expected within the next few months. We request to the Italian Government that assistance be provided in Operation: Tannenbaum. Following the declaration of war against Japan,  Göring orders several V2 rockets to be launched at key RAF bases in Britain, including the Uxbridge, Kenley, Northolt, Ford, Gravesend, Manston, Rochford, and Thorney Island airfields. This is followed by a bombing campaign across the English Channel coastline of England, hoping to clear a path for our bombing runs on major cities and establish air supremacy over Britain. However, these squadrons use at least 6 Me 264 bombers, 4 Me 262 fighters as escorts each, to provide protection and ensure maximum damage.


 * General Government: The General Government continues to tighten its grip on the region, and as per the recent rise of Rommel, stops the Final Solution. Military force is used against Polish Resistance forces, and mass executions continue against their members.
 * Vichy France: The government of Vichy France continues to tighten its grip and also stops the Final Solution. The joint operation by German SS and Vichy French forces continues in order to root out the French Resistance and wipe them out.
 * Occupied Serbia: Expansion of the Serbian economy continues, while genocide against Untermensch in the region stops. 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.
 * British Empire: With the completion of the Westminster project we declare war on the Empire of Japan on the side of the Republic of China in order to liberate lands occupied and oppressed by Imperial Japan. We code name this new Pacific war Operation: Asian Freedom. We invade from the Indonesian city of Manado to invade the Filipino island of Mindanao specifically to liberate the city of Davao. We invade  Davao with 500,000 troops, 400 tanks, the HMS Howe and the HMS King George V,five cruisers, ten destroyers, and 20 subs. 400 RAF planes from aircraft carriers are sent to help with the liberation of Davao. The rest of the British Pacific Fleet is put to Manila to clear out the Japanese Imperial fleet there. We call upon all our SEATO allies to join us in the war effort against Japan, and we implement the supremacy doctrine, to maintain total air and sea superiority against the enemy. At home, we turn to military production and continue improving our infrastructure. We also prepare for war against Nazi Germany.
 * Japanese Korean Dip: The new governor-general, secretly for Korean independence as he is influenced by his Korean lover, would want to collaborate with the British in driving the Japanese out of East Asia.
 * British secret Dip: We accept this request of collaboration, and we send aid for the Korean Resistance. We will try to help more extensively as soon as possible, once we deal with Nazi Germany.
 * Saudi Arabia: We begin to work opening jobs by sending people to oil silos and to the army. A draft is held for men from 17-25 to join the army fearing a World War can happen at any moment. Military drills are held across the country mostly at the south. Schools are open in urban areas to improve the nation's future. We begin to work on uniting tribes by holding every five years to work on working with each other and the government. (especially at war). With our new arms from the U.K we begin to invade North Yemen using 30,000 troops, 150 tanks and 120 warplanes. The start of the invasion begins when troops enter into city of Jazan and Khamis Mushai copying the blitzkrieg across France, while warplanes bomb airports and military bases in Saan'a. A small number of warships are sent (ten) to the city to Ta'izz and begins to fire upon the city. (MOD) We ask for North Yemen to give up. (CAN SOMEONE MAKE AN ALGO FOR ME?)
 * Canada: Canada declares war on the Empire of Japan on the side of the Republic of China. Canada sends out 8000 fighter planes to bomb cities in northern Japan, as well as sending in 12,000 ground troops, and 4000 tanks to aid Britain in retaking Davao.
 * British Diplomacy: We urge Canada to direct their military strength to us while we are under attack by Nazi Germany.
 * Sweden: With war erupting against it military are put on high alert. We declared armed neutrality in the war but secretly continue to hold British cell. Military production is boosted and refugees from Europe start to join our army en masse. We increase supply to the resistance movement in Scandinavia in secret. An economic recession slowly starts as the sea becomes dangerous once again for our ships but war production manages to stop the collapse of the economy.
 * Japanese Korea's previous governor-general dies under mysterious circumstances, controlling Korea for just over six months. A new governor-general takes over, though some suspect him of being romantically involved with a Korean woman. As soon as he took the office, insurgency movements are mysteriously gone. Socio-economic development improves under the policies of the new governor-general (i.e., increased literacy rate, student enrolment ratio, per capita incomes) and forced assimilation policies are relaxed greatly. As a bulwark to potential Chinese and Soviet aggression, Korea's military expenditure increases and an additional 200,000 Koreans are [either forcefully or voluntarily] drafted into the Korean army, bringing the total number to 700,000 personnel. The production of military equipment and ammunition increases drastically to accommodate the rise in military personnel. The governor-general grants many ethnic Koreans spots in the colonial government, and secretly collaborates with the Korean provisional government and guerrilla forces, planning to take Pyongyang and Seoul within the next year once the annexation of Manchuria is completed.
 * Ireland: Military and infrastructure improve, and military still recruits 200 men. Schools are now opened, and other residential buildings are completed. The ships are in construction at the ports. Population is slightly rising in Dublin, while there's a work going on with roads and railroads building.
