~August 1938~
Adolf Hitler was in his office, knocked out from his daily dose of heroin. He was scheduled to speak at a tavern where he first attempted to enforce his rule. The so called "Beer Hall Push" was his claim to fame. His second in command was a man connected with the Illuminatis, General Jodl. Hitler and Jodl entered the beer hall, and while Hitler was speaking a bomb exploded. However, Jodl expected it ten minutes later. Both were killed by the blast, as Jodl was supposed to be using the restroom during the assassination. A man was laughing as he heard this news...the only one in the Reich...General Rommel now had complete control of the country and the Military. And unlike Hitler or Jodl, he was a good general even from HQ.

In the Kremlin Stalin looked at the map displayed before him. It depicted the Finnish border towars the United Socialist Soviet Republics, complete with the exposed Finnish bay and the almost surrounded Leningrad. Deeper inside Finland was the Mannerheim line and beyond that was Helsinki.
Molotov had written a lettre to the Finnish Prime Minister asking for the complete surrender of Vyborg and surrounding areas, as well as the installation of a friendly government, but as of yet an answer had not arrived and now the Red Army was organizing, two mechanized infantry divisions and three armoured division had gathered around Leningrad and and two motorized infantry divisions were stationed to the far west of Murmansk. The Baltic Fleet had been put on full alert and were readý for battle.


OOC: Should I play as Finland too or should someone else?

In Washington D.C., President Roosevelt sat in his wheelchair wondering about whether he should do as Congress said and give more money to the military. He had three different areas that he had to donate a lot of money to.

After all, the Army Air Corps demanded more bombers and fighters. The B-17 and B-25 bombers were the most popular and easily constructed planes, as well as P-40s and a new design that were on the drawing board. The XP-51 it was called. The President approved them.

The Navy wanted more aircraft carriers (who had shown themselves to be damned effective in tests), destroyers, submarines, in fact more ships in general. The President approved a total of ten aircraft carriers, ten battleships of a new class called "Iowa", twenty cruisers, seventy-five new destroyers and thirty submarines to be constructed over a five-year period. They would replace the oldest ships in the US Navy.

The Army wanted more paratroopers and new tanks as well. Something that would be easy to manifacture and could be easily deployed in case of a new war. After all, trouble was brewing in Europe. Several ideas had been presented to the President, but one idea in particular stood out. It was called the M4 Sherman. It had a simple design, and better then the other ideas showed. Quietly, the President approved a initial batch of 1000 Sherman tanks with options for more, as well as the formation of 3 new paratrooper divisions. 17th, 82nd and 101st divisions. The new rifle that was intigrated to the military also worked perfectly. Just like expected. The M1903 Springfields were outphased now. Just like the previous president had ordered.

This done, the President wanted to take a trip to the rose garden to do some gardening and catch some rays, content with doing the days work keeping the United States neutral.

it was a warm August Evening in Luxemburg and so the Hitlerjugend meet was being held outside, Herr Schmeil walked up onto the stage, "Heil Hitler!" He saluted to the crowd who saluted back "Hitler is dead!" someone shouted back the crowd turned to face a young boy standing outside his house "General Rommel is the fuhrer now, Heil Rommel!" The boy turned to walk into his house but Fritz after him "tell me how you know this!" the boy turned to face Fritz "German Radio broadcasts!" the boy shouted back "schiesse! Rommel is no politician he is a mere soldier, i hope that the rest of Germany realises that, we know this and we will fight Rommel to last man, whos with me!" the majority of the crowd began to cheer, one man lept onto stage and pushed Fritz down "do not listen to this non-Aryan pig, Rommel is the man to lead us, not that weakling Hitler!" Some of the crowd began to cheer until Fritz got to his feet and punched the Aryan in the nose "Hitler is NOT weak" Fritz was speaking through his teeth angry at the Blonde haired fool "he must be pretty strong for a dead man!" The Aryan struggled up and raised his fists, the two teens circled eachother until Fritz leapt forward and struck the Aryans eye "what's your name!" Fritz asked "i am Ubrich and your name?" Ubrich responded "i am Fritz!" Ubrich ran forwards and punched Fritz in the stomach, the crowd was watching with anticipation, Fritz picked Ubrich up and threw him into the crowd, Ubrich was helped up "i say we form our own rallies, Heil Rommel!" "Heil Rommel" a small portion of the crowd walked off with Ubrich leaving Fritz and the Hitlerjugend "Hitler is dead, but we can at least stop Rommel in his tracks, Heil Hitler!" Fritz shouted at the crowd "HEIL HITLER!" The crowd shouted back.

OOC: Relative Liberty, I'll be Finland and all non-claimed countries.

Spooty, your Luxembourg claim hadn't actually been affirmed yet, but it doesn't really matter.

I'l take France.

Queen Wilhelmina sighed, considering the recent events. War was a strong possibility, she had decided, but she would try to maintain the neutral stance of her country. The Netherlands had not been involved in the Great War, so why now? Suddenly, a deputy burst into the room.
"Your Majesty, Hitler is dead!"
"What!?"
"Yes. A bomb killed him during a speech. Erwin Rommel, the famous general, has replaced him."
"This could be good for the current state of affairs. Very well, you may go."

Meanwhile in his office, the Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn had just recieved the same news. He too believed that it was a blessing and that it might help maintain the balance.

However, throughout the country the Dutch Nazi Party were in mourning and holding ceremonies to commemorate the death of their champion.

(OOC: gah, sorry)

Fritz was approched the next day by an elderly man who wished to join the Hitlerjugend, the cut-off age for members was 18, but Fritz needed every ally he could get if he were to defeat Ubrich, the age limit was changed people aged 16-36 could join the Hitlerjugend, Fritz ordered that the Rommeljugend be disrupted in any way, soon the Hitlerjugend meets had turned into full scale operations, stink bombs were thrown into crowds of Rommel supporters, who attempted to retaliate by throwing back rotten fruit and eggs, Rommel Nazis were ambushed at night, no-one dared leave there houses unless they fully supported Fritz who had been proclaimed the unofficial Fuhrer and was practically rejoiced by the Hitlerjugend. Ubrich, who was become less like as the days went on, planned on stepping up the conflicts, he had some French contacts smuggle rifles into the Country, the battle for Luxemburg was beggining.

Priemer Leon Blum looked up from his paperwork when a major came in and said " Mousier prime minister Hitler is dead. Rommel is ruling now!"
"This is good, this is very good" repled the prime minister

OOC: gah, sorry

No worries.
Just wondering, what of the Luxembourg government? What do they think of the Nazi supporters? Remember, Luxembourg hasn't been invaded (yet) so they still have a non-fascist government.

(OOC: Constitutional Monarchy, also when Luxemburg was invaded on May 10th 1940, only 7 men were wounded, no deaths, so im guessing the goverment was pro Nazi, ill try to find out more)

OOC: Okay, thanks for the info :)
I was just quite interested in wht the government's reaction would have been to these Hitlerjugend and Rommeljugend confrontations. Good RPing. :)

Field Marshall, scratch that, Furher Rommel was in his office and said "Who is behind this?! The Russians? We signed a treaty with them last month! The French!? That would force all our plans! The British? Too cowardly, that Neville and too upity that Churchill. The Itilians migh, but lack the experience. Find out who did this and bring me the head of the bastard and his family!" Rommel screamed in rage as his aide ran off, leaving behind a stack of newsclippings, covert wire taps, and budgets for approval. Rommel dug into these like they were French soil in the last War.


News of the day
*New Machine-Rifle: Designation MG42--manufacture and implementation approved
*Rocket bomb: Designated V1-burst jet engine--All aspects approved

*Program to remanufacture ball bearings underground in case of air attack: Approved and moved into implementation.
*UBoats and Enigma encoding machines: Boost in funding--education funding reduced--production scaled upwards to three boat per month per shipyard.

Rommel sighed. Where were the days of old, where a country could just send men to do battle, and not all this fancy techno-crap.

Spies within the ranks of the Rommeljugend reported to the Grand Duchess Charlotte that guns had been supplied to the Rommeljugend, the Duchess could not allow the Rommeljugend to keep this weapons which could potentially ruin her rule over her country, she did not wish to waste her military on such a target, and so she bought forth Fritz of the Hitlerjugend, the Hitlerjugend would be given guns and money to destroy the Hitlerjugend, including bonuses for doing so in a certain time period and for killing specific targets, the Hitlerjugend were not given enough strength to take out the Duchess' military, and the bonus for time was placed at a near immpossible time, this would hopfully force Fritz into making rash decisions and losing too many men to challenge the Duchess who could sit back in a foreign country waiting for both sides to destroy eachother.

Just some minor details:
MG42, STG44 and MP40 have incorrect designations: the number at the end represents year of creation, and we are in 1938. You can make new ones though. I quite fancy an MP38. :)

"Gwehrardt", do you mean "Gewehr"?

Here is a good sight on panzers and German vehicles of WWII:

Telegram to Belgium and Luxembourg:

Due to recent events, the Netherlands has decided that, even with the recent death of Adolf Hitler, war is near inevitable. We would like to propose a pre-emptive move between our nations. All of us our known for our neutral status, and this is something that we wish to maintain. We would like to propose a Mutual Protection Treaty between us. This is simply to deter other countries from an invasion. I would be grateful to recieve answers from both of you promptly.
Yours sincerely,

OOC: The number means date of formal acceptance, not creation. All of these rifles were designed before 1939 (except for the STG44). I'm just going with the names I know, and I'm an "ignorant" American so I can't spell German words well and Google Translator sucks in that matter. Thanks for the link, and I'll change the Gewehr to correctness.

OOC: Ok, thanks on designations, my mistake then. Don't worry about Gewehr, it doesn't really matter. I just know it as I speak some German. The link is quite good with panzers, isn't it? Oh, and if anyone has any info on the Dutch military in WWII, I would be glad to have it.

Lord Halifax looked up from his desk in Number 10 as his private secretary walked into his office.
"Prime Minister"
Halifax had only been Prime Minister for two months now, since Chamberlains death from stomach cancer, and he was not yet used to being addressed as such. 'Just as well' he thought. A General Election had been called for later in the year, and he had decided not to run. He was merely the interim Prime Minister.
"We've had a telegram in from the British Embassy in Berlin, sir. Herr Hitler and his deputy Jodl appear to have been assasinated today. I'm afraid we've no further details at the moment"
The Prime Minister straightened up. He had despised Hitler and everything he stood for, but the assignation was not good news. With the death of Chamberlain, the death of Hitler would lead to widespread sympathy for Mosely and the British Fascist party.
"Notify me right away as soon as you here anything else"

Telegram to the Netherlands from Grand Duchess Charlotte

we would willingly agree to this mutual protection act though we are currently suffering from Nazi gangs fighting each other, once this matter is resolved we will be only too willing to assist our neighbours, as our national motto says "We want to remain what we are"

it was Tuesday evening, in the City of luxembourg, the streets were empty, most had evacuated to nearby towns, the Hitlerjugend owned this city now, dust flew through the City square, Ubrich and his "army" walked in, he looked around trying to find the Hitlerjugend, two young men took down a Hitlerjugend flag and replaced it with a Rommeljugend flag, "NOW!" a shout came from the City hall, hundreds of armed Hitlerjugend popped out from buildings and alleyways, gunfire erupted all around, Ubrich took out his French Service revolver, and began to fire at the surrounding buildings he swung around to a alley behind him, a large gatling gun was wheeled out, the Hitlerjugend begqan to fire and shots rattled around the square, soon however the gun jammed, Ubrich stood up, his ears were ringing, he shot one of the Hitlerjugend and the other three ran away, a grenade rolled to Ubrichs feet, he had never seen one before and so assumed it to be another of the Hitlerjugend stink-bombs, the grenade blew, throwing Ubrich 20 metres away and killing him.

Fritz was behind one of the gatling guns, watching as men just fell before him, he also had a rifle and was firing shots into the chaos of the battle, not that he did any good, the only targets he could find were already dead from gatling fire, the battle seemed to be dying down, and Fritz leapt out into the square to survey the dead, he found bodies of his fallen friend's, he ignored these and focused on the Rommeljugend soldiers, soon he came across Ubrich, dead, it wouldn't matter the Rommeljugend would find another leader, maybe one more competant, though it was a step in the right direction, Fritz walked up the steps of City Hall he decided to give a speech "Ubrich is dead, but we must not stop fighting for the memory of Hitler. HEIL HITLER!" The unengaged Hitlerjugend saluted back shouting "HEIL HITER!" Soon the gunfire came to a stop, Luxembourg City was secure for now.

We are enthusiastic about any Mutual Aid pact between our three nations but would wish to know what form this treaty would take. Would we agree to simply come to each others aid? Would an attack on one be considered an attack on all? What if our (or your) colonies were attacked?

King Leopold of Belgium

The terms suggested are:

An attack on one of the three be equal to an attack on all.
If a home country (ie. not colonies) aid must be given by the other members.
If a colony is attacked then aid should be given if possible.
Type of aid given depends on situation and what is available, but it will generally be accepted that as much aid as posiible be given.

These terms are of course only suggestions and any changes suggested will be graciously recieved.
Hendrikus Colijn

OOC: I have to go now, I'll be back tomorrow.

word of Ubrich's death spread throughout the Rommeljugend, and the most peculiar thing happened, the various generals of the Rommeljugend began to in-fight, leaving the only people who could now fight the Hitlerjugend, the Luxembourg armed forces, who moved swiftly in quelling the last of the Rommeljugend, the Duchess was approached by Fritz who had come to claim the bonus for killing Ubrich and two of his lieutenants, the whole thing was a sham, Fritz was imprisoned in one of Luxembourg's top security prisons, the Hitlerjugend was encouraged to disband, the King wanted to shake off the shackles of the Nazi past, he wished to sign a pact of mutual protection with the northern countries, this could not be done well with Nazis in the back-yard, the Hitlerjugend did disband for a short while, it came back some weeks later as the Hitlerkern, this gang had support in the military which trained the recruits how to fire a rifle, rifle was designed for cheap production they called it the FS38, spies managed to infiltrate the gang and reported to the king who became infuriated, all the renagade soldiers were soon uncovered and were immediatly ejected from the military, the Duchess thought that this would stop the Hitlerkern, instead it made things worse, the military now suffered from a lack of numbers, the Hitlerkern had trained professionals at the helm and soon Fritz Schmiel escaped from prison, with their leader back the Hitlerkern were now unstopable

Prime Minister Blume sighed. The busniess in Luxemburg was dangourous or at least frightening. He was also worried that Rommel might blame France for Hitler's death and invade them. He pressed a button on his desk signaling for his secretary to come in. He said to his secretary when he entered, please ask General de Gaulle to come here"

With in a short time General Charles de Gaulle arrived. "You sent for me mousier(SP) prime minister?"

"Yes i did mousier(SP) general. I want you to extend the Miongont(SP) Line completely on the Belgin(SP) border. i do not trust these Germans"

"At once"

the remaining handfull of Luxembourg soldiers stood outside the Duchess' palace, she was to give an encouraging speech, one good thing had come out of the discraced soldiers, each soldier could be given better funding, the Duchess moved out onto her balcony to address the military, several Sargeants could be heard shouting "ACHTUNG!" the troops stood rigid, an explosion suddenly took out the furthest corner of the palace courtyard and Hitlerkern forces began moving in, the Luxembourg soldiers turned to fight the Hitlerkern and the Duchess was taken into her palace to wait the battle out in her shelter, the Hitlerkern were making short work of the trained soldiers and had soon made it to the palace gates, which were blown off using explosives, most of the Luxembourg forces had now joined the Hitlerkern, the fighting inside the palace was brief, the only palace guard had been placed outside and had already been killed, soon troops made their way into every corner of the palace, the Duchess had been captured and Fritz made his way into the palace, he was the obvious choice to lead the new Nazi Luxembourg, he gave the order to spare the Duchess' life, instead she would be exciled, the Hitlerkern had formed themselves outside the palace ready for Fritz's speech "friends we face a difficult few years ahead of us, Rommels Nazi's to the east, the French to the West, and undecided forces to the North, but we will stand tall amongst these giant's, we have eachother, wheras they are devided!" the crowd began shouting back "HEIL FRITZ HEIL FRITZ HEIL FRITZ!"

Telegram Fuhrer Schmeil to the Netherlands

we realise that we cannot stop possible invaders from attacking our country and so we accept this mutual protection act with open arms, "for the memories of Hitler!"

"Mein Furher!" An aide shuted as he entered Rommel's office.

"Yes. What is it?" Rommel asked, reading a document that appeared to be from the French PM ordering a lone spy to plant the bomb. The one thing he didn't know was that Jodl had this forged a week prior to Hitler's death.

"Lexembourg has some pro-Hitler and pro..uh, pro-you ritos, sir. Seems like some of our own people believe you unfit to lead, and have fought some loyalists."

"Jorg...relax. I am nothing like Hitler, I won't shoot you for your opinions. I won't shoot you because you are a Jew either. My best friends in life have been Jews. I mean, look at Adolf, he was born of Jewish ancestors. Now, send a dispatch to Luxembourg, Belgium, and Britain telling them we intend no harm to them and that those rebels are not our people at all. Tell them we have expelled them from the Party. And do just that. Then also offer an alliance to them similar to that we have with Russia. Once they reply, all of them, we'll know what to do. If Britain replies yes to the alliance, we shall attack France. France was behind the attack, I'm convinced. I want 4500 of our 5000 Stukas to attack a 45 mile strech in the Maginot line. Constant bombardment until the defenses are shattered. The rest, keep in reserve in case something should happen. When a sizeable gap is created, we rush in with our tanks and infantry."

The aide stood at rigid attention and said, "Heil Rommel!" He then saluted with the old Roman salute...minus one thing, his hand was closed into a tight fist.

"Jorg...I like the new salute you have come up with. Order my SS squads, and later on the entire army, to salute like that."

Jorg just nodded his head, knowing that all his Jewish brothers would be safe with this new Furher.

Telegram to Germany from Fuhrer Schmeil

General Rommel, i respect you as a General but not as the Fuhrer of the magnificent third Reich, your policy on the Zionist peoples are infuriating, be assured that the people of Luxembourg will NEVER let a pathetic runt like you take them from my rule nor will i sign into any agreement with a man like you, Luxembourg will open its borders to ANY pro Hitler supporters, Heil Schmeil!

Telegram from Fuhrer Schmeil to France

Herr Blume, i fear that War could soon be let loose upon Europe, i therfore propose an pact of non-aggression, when the fighting starts we shall need every ally to overthrow that b*stard Rommel, Heil Schmeil!"

Dank, humid, and misty. The babboo plants were in front of the Chinese line of Infantry, affording the frightened soldiers some security. But there was no security against the japanese.
In the mist, they could hear the clattering of steal and Iron and cheering. The chinese soldiers glanced about. This was a bad omen indeed.

-Japanese side, 200 yards away-

"Chi-Has move in Now!"
"All infantry regiments on the advance!"
*Cheering*
The officers drew their curved katanas and grasped the flag of Japan tightly.
For the emperor.
There was the sound of gunfire in the distance and explosions, the chi ha's had Moved towards the line at full speed, and then had turned towards the opposite column of chi has and were now passing the lines while firing. The chinese were in panic, this was a new tatic for the Japanese. They normally held ground while attacking, not moving about. The tanks stoped, their sides facing the trenches a few feet from the startled Chinese. They took the oppertunity to throw defective gernades and fire their moldy (The Chinese Nationalists didn't know how to clean their guns i believe) guns at the Machine gunners. Some started to climb on the tanks. That's when the screaming wave of bayonett weilding soldiers slammed into them.

Chinese rule No 1:
NEVER fight the japanese in hand to hand.
(japenese were notorious at fighting really well at hand-to-hand combat)

The chinese began to flee, and the japanese began to fire off a few rounds at the chinese dissappearing into the mists.
But the chinese wouldn't get away THAT easily.

Armored scout cars and motorized infantry rushed past the foor infantry of the japanese, firing machine guns into the chinese mass from their vehicules.



-Nanking-
Abe, General Nobuyki Abe, sat at a yew desk that was looted from the British embassy at the end of "The Rape of Nanking" he read the report of the battle (300 tanks knocked out, 2,000 troops dead) that had crushed the Nationalist chinese forces. Or so they thought.

On his desk was another distrubing report. The Red Chinese forces had linked up with the Nationalist stragglers and were on the move--but to where? That was a question that had to be solved quickly.

A few phone calls later, a Squadern of 50 Zeros under Lt. Gen Hirota were heading towards the enemy's last known position.


TEGEGRAMS SENT TO FORIGN NATIONS:
-Germany-
Herr Rommel
Our people have always been steadfast friends. Let us keep that friendship strong. We require 10 Junkers JU87B-1 models sent to us immediately.
-Emperor


-USA-
In order to retain our friendship and our profitable trade partnership, we require oil. Lots of Oil. We may be forced to look for oil elsewhere, such as the Dutch held pacific lands if we do not have sufficient quantities of oil soon. This will drive your profits and investments in oil downwards, as we will no longer need to purchase your oil.
-Emperor

-Luxemburg-
Do you even have an army!?
-Random Old Guy

ooc: EDIT: The random old guy thing was just an inquiry into Luxemburg's non-existant military. I know they can easily have and maintain an army, but not much more.

Telegram from Fuhrer Schmeil to old Japanese man

your inquiry into the Military status of our country is well founded, we do indeed have an army, it comes in the form of the Schmeilkern (formerly the Hitlerkern) we currently number 65,000 and hope to be soon receiving former soldiers of the great third reich, those who continue to support the great works of Adolf Hitler, your lack of knowledge about our military does not strike me as odd, for the longest time our small country has been overlooked, but we will soon become world news i assure you, Heil Schmeil!

(OOC: [EDIT] the response was a spoof of those letters you see exchange between high officials and schoolchildren)

now that all factories in Luxembourg had been siezed, production began on building a better army, designs for a new gun began, this was to be a revamp on the rushed FS38 model, they called it the FS39 and it immediately went into production, Scmeil realised a need to take to the skies, planes would be too expensive and so an airship would be designed, it would be 250 meters long, have a volume of 105,000 m3, it would have a range of 4,500 miles and it would reach speeds of up to 60 miles an hour

(OOC: [EDIT2] oki i took out the bit about building tanks and also added the construction of Airships, tell me if this is a bad thing)

Criminals won't work too well. Mabye hit and run squads of Infantry can hit a factory, loot it, and then high-tail it. Use civilian cars to carry them and their loot around, so they can't be easily tracked by planes, therefore giving them the chance to escape.

ooc question:
I hope to god there won't be nukes in this Rp, will there? They make everything cheap and pointless.

The news that arrived from Anthony Eden, who had retaken Halifaxes old position of Foreign Secretary after Chamberlains, death was a suprise.
"Rommel? Who on earth is this chap? I would have expected Himmler or Hess to becoming Fuhrer"

"That's what we assumed at first, but as it turns out, Oberst..." Halifax looked at him curiously, "...that's Colonel, Prime Minister, Rommel used his position as commander of Führer-Begleitbattalion..." another quizzical look came from Halifax "...the Late Führer's personal protection battalion, sir, to achieve power"

"Very well. Now, what do we know about this Rommel chap?"

"Army Intelligence has this on him, sir. Not very much I'm afraid. We weren't expecting him to amount to anything that would warrant serious investigation."

"Well, I'll have a look at what we've got"

He picked up the manilla file and opened it. He examined the 'photo of Rommel, which was taken during the Great War:

"Yes, sir. We believe he is carrying on with the Late Führer's rearmament policy, but that's all so far"

"Update me if you have any further information, would you, Minister?"

"Of course, Prime Minister"

OoC: I thought you might like some information on Rommel prior to the war. Thank God for Wikipedia! Also, can everyone have a look at the OoC thread. I've got an idea I want run up the flagpole, and I want to see if you salute it

While president Roosevelt was busy in the Rose Garden, instructing two Navy seamen to bring him specific roses when the Secretary of War joined him, accompanied by General George C. Marshall (Chief of Staff, US Military).

"Mister president, there have been some dramatic happenings in Europe. Herr Hitler has been assassinated by the head of his bodyguards, and there are riots in Luxemburg. Also, the Japaneese want more oil."

"Oh really? Ah well. It's none of our concerns about that stuff in Europe. We're neutral, remember?" The president looked back at his roses before continuing. "Send the following to the Japaneese. We would be delighted to sell you more oil once you stop your invasions in China as they are coming closer and closer to our forces in the Philliphines. After all, we do have our national security to consider."

The secretary nodded to this and had the telegram sent immediately.

Telegram to President Roosevelt:
I propose a non-agression pact between our two nations. I fear that Germany might blame France for Hitler's death. France had no part in the assanation.


Telegram to Herr Schmeil: France shall never make an allaince with any pro-Hitler nation.

Primier Blume went on to Radio Paris. "As you may have learned now, Adolf Hitler , chancellor of Germany since 1933 was killed by his cheif body guard yesterday in Berlin. I like to say this now that France did not in any way shape or form particpate in this. Also I would like to say this to the Emperor of Japan your transgrestions have not gone unnoticed. Any attempt to get near Inndochina shall be regareded as an act of war."

(OOC: Use civilian cars to carry them and their loot around i was thinking of using Buses, the're big, reasonably fast, and you can use the excuse of being holiday-makers on the way to Luxembourg)

OOC: You know what you could do Spooty? THose crimenals are not cuaght byGermany, so Germany thinks France has stolen the those parts. So Gerrmany attack Belgium and Fance Britain invtervens and bada bing we got us a war.

I hope to god there won't be nukes in this Rp, will there? They make everything cheap and pointless.

No there won't. Don't worry.

There had been no response from Finland and now the troopsw ere organizing for an attack. The divisions in Leningrad would push up through Karelia while the two divisions outside Murmansk would try and split Finland in two by reaching the Gulf of Bothnia. The Baltic Fleet would bombard Helsinki and spread propaganda.

The frontline:
The roar of the mighty field guns echoed over the filed as they fired their deadly shells in a hige arc upon the Finnish side of the border. Once an area had been bombarded the tanks would secure it while the infantry cleansed it. Then the artillery would be moved up and bombard the next area.

In the north, however, the divisions advanced at a greater speed, not caring for artillery bombardement. Speed and urprise was essential for their mission to succeed.

OOC: Spooty, you could trade with the Netherlands or Belgium to arm your tanks. They would seem the obvious choice after the alliance.

IC:
Telegram to the Japanese Empire:
We would like to propose a treaty between our peoples. The threat of war comes ever closer, and together we could form a co-operative coalition in the Pacific. We do not wish to partake any military conflict, but will offer trade and peace to our peoples.
Hendrikus Colijn

OOC: Acting as Finland here.

IC: Telegram to the U.S.S.R:
We have detected a large troop mobilization on our borders. We demand a withdrawal, or we shall respond with military action. We are willing to listen to any conditions you give for your withdrawal, no matter how grim they are.

Pro-Nazi gangs were rioting throughout the Netherlands, and many strikes were crippling the country. The assembled masses could be heard for miles, their cry of "Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!" rang out through the cities. Luckily, the riot was ended peacefully and there were no casualties, but orders from High Command had come, stating that if any other riot occured the army should use force. Things were looking grim.

''We have already stated our demands, the surrender of Viborg and the surrounding areas, the surrender of the northern part of Finland, the installation of a government that serves the people and not the captitalists. We said that failure to meet these demands would result in military action as we cannot stand idly by when our comrade proletairs are suppressed by the foul captialists.''

OOC:Sorry Relative Liberty, been concentrating on the Netherlands, I'll be Finland for a while now.

IC: Telegram to the U.S.S.R:

We shall submit to your demands, as we do not wish any bloodshed, neither Finnish nor Russian. We request Russian military aid to help enforce the new government.

''Very well, two mechanized divisions and three infantry divisions will be stationed within Finland to secure the rule of the workers. A specialy trained group will arrive from Moscow shortly, they will form the new government.''

Hans Schimmel, the commander of the Dutch Armed Forces, sat down at his desk and began to write a letter, adressed to Hendrikus Colijn. He had been considering the poor training and equipment of the Dutch army in the Netherlands. They had had no combat experience, unlike their East Indies counterparts, and were ill-equipped with weapons used in the Great War. So, he had decided to request additional funding, equipment and training for the Dutch troops. He finished off his letter, sealed it and called for his secretary to mail it.

The next morning, Colijn recieved the letter. He read it through and quickly approved it. He had also been considering this. After that, he himself sent a telegram:

To all who would be friends with the Netherlands

We would politely request any countries who consider themselves friends of the Netherlands and the Benelux countries would open themselves to military trade with us. We seek any and all technology, and will pay you handsomely. We would also ask for a small, elite contingency of soldiers from any friendly country to serve as drillmasters for a short period of time. We will offer quick leave to them, no matter recent events, and generousity will not go unnoticed.
Hendrikus Colijn, Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

Commandant General Choi Huang He of the Chinese Red Army sat behind his desk overlooking the forum in Bejing. The Japanese attack had devistated the Nationalist movement and allowed him to grab power. Mao was dead, as were all his conspirators. The Commandant General smiled as he looked at the recent military spendings and productions. 12,000 tanks and almost two hundred million trained soldiers. China was not part of the war, but they were ready...

-U.S.S.R-
China wishes to place forward a formal peace treaty and full alliance, utilizing full military activity and co-operation between our two great nations. Together the Unified Red Army shall conquer all its foes as if they were ants on a frying pan. We request a formal reply whenever you are ready.

Office of the Commandant General, Bejing

Prime Minister Lord Halifax had called a meeting with several of the Cabinet Members. Present were (OoC: yes they are all position that existed in 1938, even the Secretary of State for War. All the same as Chamberlains cabinet, bar Eden):
Anthony Eden - Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
Leslie Hore-Belisha - Secretary of State for War
Lord Stanley - Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
Malcolm MacDonald - Secretary of State for the Colonies
Sir John Simon - Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lord Swinton - Secretary of State for Air
Duff Cooper - First Lord of the Admiralty
Sir Thomas Inskip - Minister for Coordination of Defence
Oliver Stanley - President of the Board of Trade

"Gentlemen, it has become clear that since the assasination of Hitler, there will be no need for appeasement in the forms that both I and my predecessor have previously advocated. We have, I hope and believe, no reason to fear the new German leader, Rommel. This Gentleman, whilst, I'll admit, not a career politician and of a very strong militaristic position, appears not to have neither the expansionistic ambitions nor the aggressive nationalism of his predecessor, the late Adolf Hitler... "

"However, he is still a military man, and will almost certainly continue with the violation of the disarmament articles laid down by the Versailles Treaty. Are we going to accept this?" replied Eden.

"I fear we have no alternative." replied the Jewish Belisha "Rommel may not be the best we could hope for, he is certainly better then Hitler"
There were general murmers of approval.

"Well, gentlemen, what are we going to do?" asked Halifax

"I have an idea." announced Lord Stanley "The Great War started due to the lack of communications between the the Triple Entente and the Central Powers. To prevent this, I propose the following: we must enter an alliance with France and Germany. These three nations have been to war too often over the last century, and there are, at the moment, no guarentees that we won't go to war again."

The table erupted in shouts of "Here, here!"

"Very well, Gentlemen. I shall communicate the French President and German Fuhrer right away"

Official Transmission to the French and German Governments:
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland proposes the following:
An military alliance and mutual protection pact between the following three nations:
The Republic of France (le république française)
The German Empire (Die Reichsrepublik Deutschland)
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The purpose of which is to promote the cause of peace within the continent of Europe

Finland:

We thank the U.S.S.R. for her gracious actions in liberating our country from the capitalist dogs. We understand that divisions are on their way, these will serve the purpose of keeping peace and crushing loyalists in our now free-country. Too long have we served the whim of the capitalists, but finally you have given us hope. I have my own men ready to bolster your administative party, if you so wish. Thank you comrade!
Comrade Jan-Erik Manninen,
Finnish Communist Party

To Prime Minister, Netherlands

China is prepared to devote a small but elite band of warriors to train your soldiers. They would remain until the task is done and pay shall not be necessary. All that we request is permission to use any military installments for the launch of forces, should things escalate. We will also come to yuor aid should it be required in a hostile occupational situation, or if otherwise requested and approved by the Commandant General's Curia. I also place forward beginning of formal alliance proceedings at your discretion.

Office of the Commandant General, Bejing

To the office of the Commandant General, Beijing:

We thank China for her gracious and kind offer. We know that formerly we have not had especially close ties, but now is the dawn of a new era! All previous ties and bonds are being cast away, to be replaced by new alliances and treaties! We accept your offer, and have arranged for your troop to be transferred to Jakarta by boat, and from there to The Hague by plane. As for your request of military installations, we shall allow you to use our positions in the East Indies, but be warned that by this we do not generically support any military action you may take. As for your offers of alliance, we are interested and would wish to hear what you have in mind.

Hendrikus Colijn

To the Prime Minister's Office, the Netherlands.

I also realise we have not had close ties in the past as we have maintained a strict isolationist polocy. Due to recent governmental changes, this has been revoked and we are seeking alliances. We send the best of our men for your useage. Your offer is most generous and we shall take you up on your offer, yet not exploit your generosity. As for seeking military aid from you, as allies we shall consult you and invite you to a meetin of our Curia before going to war. In regard to the Alliance, the Commandant General Yang Dezhi would be most pleased with a simple political and social alliance, promoting trade and industry between our two countries, as well as a cultural and military exchange according to previous statements above. I also believe thorugh this, your allies shall also become our allies and visa versa, creating a stable world through peace. If your Prime Minister is interested in making our Alliance formal, please reply and state any terms of alliance you find unreasonable or any suggestions of your own. Also a full list of current allies/potential enemies would be helpful. Thank you

Office of the Commandant General, Bejing

To the Office of the Commandant General, Bejing

We will gladly seal the agreement then. All the terms are to our and, we hope, your satisfaction. We would be glad to accept an alliance, and I myself would request an audience with you in Bejing. At the moment, we have been careful to maintain neutrality, and have no real enemies. There is still the potential of Germany, and there has been a Nazi overthrow of the government in Luxembourg. However, Luxembourg and Belgium have agreed to an alliance with us. We are neutral to all others, however we fear the Japanese presence in the Pacific, as our oil and other resources in the East Indies are sought after by them, and without aid it is likely that we shall fall, if they decide to invade. Please reply formally to our requested audience.

Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn

OOC: But you aren't Yderia....

with the end of our civil war we now see that the possibility of war in Europe is grate and are military in pore conditions we would like to place the following orders in for weapons

from Germany we would like
a Bismarck class Battleship. If you can spare the resources
the right to produce are own BF-109s

from U.S.A. we would like
an Iowa Battleship. When you have completed one
30,000 M1A1 Thompson

from the UK we would like
500 Republic Spitfires and the right to produce them

from Japana
Yamato class Battleship when the come out
500 Zeros and the right to produce them

all countries may expect future orders

We will gladly seal the agreement then. All the terms are to our and, we hope, your satisfaction. We would be glad to accept an alliance, and I myself would request an audience with you in Bejing. At the moment, we have been careful to maintain neutrality, and have no real enemies. There is still the potential of Germany, and there has been a Nazi overthrow of the government in Luxembourg.

Please reply formally to our requested audience.

To Prime Minister's Office, The Netherlands,

Furthermore to the summit request, we would like to use this opportunity to thank you for your friendship to our newly developed country. You shall no regret it. We are aware of the recent Nazi Germany polotics and we are also slightly worried, as most countries are of such a powerhorse of an economy under Nazi government. As for the Japanese, they are our main enemies. As a newly developed country we have not had time to form enemies, but Japan has countlessly attacked our boarders and few colonies, and we intend to reply with a greater force at some stage. Their defiance must be stopped. Now that China has a foothold in your East Indian military bases, the Japanese will think twice about attacking, as they will encour the full wrath of the P.C.C.S, and we shall show no mercy. If you so desire, i will leave the creation of a peace treaty in your hands. May our nations thrive off eachother!

King Christian X regarded the telegram and began to write a reply.

To Hendrikus Colijn,

Denmark would gladly begin military trade with the Netherlands, and are more than happy to provide ships and new versions of the original 1849 "Rifle Fire Rockets (http://www.milhist.dk/weapons/rifle_rockets/rifle_rocket.html)", although infantry units may be somewhat harder to come by. In return, Denmark is in need of tanks to modernise its defences as time passes, as the only tanks that the Danish army are in posession of are a few FP-4s and 5s and one 10-year old Italian Fiat 3000. On a seperate note, Denmark also wonders if the Netherlands would being interested in forming an alliance with Denmark.
Sincerely,
King Christian X of Denmark

Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn got off the plane and walked down the steps onto the ground. A Chinese officer walked up to greet him. Hendrikus Colijn had served in the East Indies as an officer, and during his time had taken the opportunity to learn Chinese, Japanese and the majority of the forms of Indonesian. He greeted the officer fluenty, who was suprised and amazed at his linguistic skills, but also commented that his accent wasn't quite there yet. They then set off in a car to the Commandant General's Office.

OOC: I know I have taken some liberties with the Chinese officer, but just trying to add some flavour to an otherwise boring piece of writing.

That's fine, and I realize that my thing says Derrylin, but Yderia and Derrylin are both me, and both therefore China, so please dont worry, as i am locked out of Yderian Account. I like the writing. Enjoy the Senate

To Christian X:

We are grateful for your offer, which we would gladly accept, but we must report that we are also lacking in tanks. We do however have some Pantserwagen M 36s and M 39s. We regret our inability to give tanks, but hope these will do well in replacing them. About an alliance, we would accept this openly, but would first know the terms of such a pact.

That's fine, and I realize that my thing says Derrylin, but Yderia and Derrylin are both me, and both therefore China, so please dont worry, as i am locked out of Yderian Account. I like the writing. Enjoy the Senate

Okay, I'll update the lists so they say both Yderia and Derrylin.

To Christian X:

We regret our inability to give tanks, but hope these will do well in replacing them. About an alliance, we would accept this openly, but would first know the terms of such a pact.

The main term of this alliance would be the military trade, but also mutual protection and more non-military trade.

Commandant General Yang Dezhi stood on the steps of the Chinese Curia, flanked by several of his top Generals and Senators. A long stretched limo pulled up at the base of the steps with a large police escort. A man emerged from the limo and ascended the steps. "Prime Minister, please follow me," the Commandant General said courteously and led the man inside. He turned to one of his officers and whispered, "Today we make history, tomorrow we conquer..."

Okay, I'll update the lists so they say both Yderia and Derrylin.
Appreciated

To Christian X:

We would accept such an alliance immediately.

Done. We give our thanks, Colijn.

Schmeil created three groups, the first being the Schmeiljugend, a group designed to convince Young men (aged 13-18) to fight for Fuhrer Schmeil if war did break out this was compulsary, then there was the Schmeilkern where men (aged 18+) were trained to join the SchmeilKorp (also known as the SK) both of these were non-compulsary, but if war broke out both would have to fight, this of course created the oppurtunity to join the Army.

Telegram from Fuhrer Schmeil to Netherlands

we consider ourselves friends of the Netherlands and of the Benelux countries, unfortunantly the lack of resources in our country means that the only military trade we can establish is that of our technology, the most prominent design being that of the cheap, reliable and quick to build FS38 sub-machine gun. On the subject of your need for drill masters we are sure we can assist in that matter by sending some of our best Officers, Heil Schmeil!

To All Nations:

China is seeking alliances. We are prepared to discus military trade and purchase. Assistance shall be provided to allies only, or under special circumstances. Our country is large, and has a powerful army. We are seeking other strong nations to ally with or weaker nations to support, in use for military utilization. Any replies may be addressed to the following:-

Hendrikus Colijn stood up in front of the assembly.

"Previously, our nations have never been very close. We have regarded each other with little interest. But now is a new China, a new era and a new world! Now we shall cast off our shackles, and start afresh. I believe that the alliance between China and the Netherlands will be the symbol of this new age. Our countries are not so different. We both seek peace. We both care for the welfare of our people. We both want justice. So do we both seek alliance, and that is what we propose.

Telegram to Fuhrer Schmiel:

We thank you for your offer, which we shall accept.

Commandant General Yang Dezhi addressing Curia:

Friends, countymen, people of the world. Today ushers in a new era for China. Once again we shall see our country strive in a new generation. Some day our descendants will look back on this day and say "We created a Utopia". And I believe this. China and the Netherlands shall become allies. Not only allies, but friends. This, is the future. Not only for our two countries, but for the world. Let us hope the world catches on to our triumphs. Long live the alliance!

The Peoples Confederation of Chinese States cordially invites Furher Schimel of Luxembourg to a peace summit. Due to common friends, China believes it will be prosperous for us both to unite and flourish together.

Commandant General's Office, Bejing

Telegram from the Fuhrer Schmeil to China

I agree to attend this Peace summit in the hope that we can forge a great friendship.

To Furher Schmeil, Luxembourg,
You are welcome in the Curia at your discretion to make a speech and outline any alliance plans. Please call ahead though as the Chinese Curia has a busy schedule.

To whom it may concern,

Commandant General Yang Dezhi personally requests permission to begin preparations to station troops in the East Indies. Please reply,

Master Choi Huang He, Chinese War Office, Bejing

To Chinese War Office:

You may begin deployment at once. We have sent ships to pick up your troops. Name a harbour and we can land. These transports are a symbol of our goodwill. We have given them orders that, after the successful transportation of your troops, they will return to China and serve your purposes.

Hendrikus Colijn

Mr Prime Minister,

Your gesture is greatly are appreciated and well recieved by China. We request full joint use of the nearest naval and air bases to Japanese terrritory, in which we can develop a large task force. It is at this stage a precautionary measure but we cannot trust a country who kills innocent men, women and children without cause. Two of your battleships shall be send back to you with 12,000 Elite Red Guard soldiers, as our own good will gesture, and as compensation for your battleships. Hopefully this will strengthen our alliance, watching our two armies work together. Peace and long life,

Commandant General Yang Dezhi

In India...

The Indian Soldiers were given orders by her majesty of England. The Commanding officers moblized the 1st to the 5th Royal Indian Infantry Division. The Royal Indian Air Force prepared for their bombing run against this menace the Europeans called Nazi and Japan.

Message recieved and awknowledged. The Pulpit awaits your speech in due course. A state of alliance now exists between our two countries. Any military technologies you are willing to share will be accepted by China's Military Master with our kindest gratitude. We look forward to your speech

Grand Naval Master Sha Ka Re looked over the bay, now called Yang Dezhi, in honour of the Commandant General, from the bridge of a Dutch heavy troop transport. The men assembled on the coast to wish farewell to the CCS Yu Wang Shang Ti. Sha Ka Re pressed a red button on the control pannel on the bridge. "Send her in," he said, pressing another button on the pannel and letting go of the first one. "People of the Confederacy," he boomed over the loudspeakers. The crowd on the shoreline fell silent at the sound of his powerful voice. "Today your hard work shall be paid off. I present to you the finest in Chinese construction, and the most powerful warship ever build. Ladies and Gentlemen, the CSS Yu Wang Shang Ti!" he shouted. The crowd errupted into chaos as the massive battlecruiser rounded the rocks into the cove. The ship was massive, dwarfing the troop transport. Its seventy five heavy guns shining in the sunlight. It had a large picture of the Confederacy icon, the yellow star in the red circle. The ship sailed into the middle of the bay and fired fireworks over the crowd from its large guns. Commandant General Yang Dezhi and Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn of the Netherlands stood on the promenade deck, watching the fireshow. They turned to eachother and smiled, shaking hands. "Congratulations General. The Pacific is all but yours..."

To: Commandant General Yang Dezhi, Bejing

I would serve along with you, and stop the Japanese menace from speading and them building their so called New Order. I will fight along side you in this great battle for freedom.

William Birdwood, leader of the ANZAC froces near Gallipoli and now Prime Minister of Australia paced nervously through his office. News from Europe told him that Hitler had been assasinated and a certain Rommel had taken his position. He also had a dutch proposal of military trade. Well, he had to answer negativly. The Australian Military had to concentrate on it's own re-arment. He had recently signed a reform bill for the army. He and his minister of Defence had drawn up a plan of remiliterization:

The Australian Army will be expanded to a fighting force of 175000 men and women with a reserve of 450000 men and women. All kinds of new inventions and modern arms like paratroopers and tanks will be introduced.
-2 Para divisions will be formed (7500 men each, 15000 total)
-10 armoured divisions, each 250 ValentineV tanks (1000 men per division, 10000 men in total) and 300 APC (2 crew, 6 passengers, 18000 total)
-10 Marine divisions of each 2700 men (total is 27000)
-10 Infantry divisions (each 10000 men/women, total 100000 men/women)
-the rest of the 5000 men/women will form the HQ staff

The navy wants some of the more "heavier stuff". According to trials, aircraft carriers, long range submarines and fast cruisers, frigates and destroyers are the most effective. The wish list of the Navy staff looks like this:

-3 Large carriers fit for 60 planes (plane type to be decided)
-9 escort carriers fit for 30-40 planes (dito)
-5 High Speed Cruisres
-7 High Speed Frigates
-12 High Speed Destroyers
-35 Long Range, 15000 NM, submarines

The Airforce is still working on its list.

In Pearl Harbor

Captain Ernest McWhorter looked down on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown. This aircraft carrier, being brand new since it had been commissioned only one year prior, was one of the mightiest vessels afloat. She carried a total of 84 aircraft, and had experienced pilots. Now she was heading out to patrol the waters around the Phillipines along with the rest of the ships that made up Task Force 77.1. The reports of possible Japaneese advances in that direction would hopefully be stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the mighty Yorktown.

With Hitlers death, Czecholovakian President Emil Hácha was overjoyed by the news. His first and only thought on the matter of Hitlers passing, "Perhaps now we can get some business with them settled"

Waiting several weeks, he finally informs his staff of his plans for Bohemia and Moravia, they are not impressed but go forth with his decision knowing it's whats best.

Senior Officals in Germany are informed of Czecholovakias proposel...

Sir I shall make this short and sweat. We know you want Bohemia and Moravia. We want full access to the catalouge of German weapons past, current and future, A full military alliance with complete access granted to German troops who require transit through the nation.

We truley hope you can come to this arrangement or one of similar value brought forth by you.

ooc: Japan is well into china by this time, and china really kinda dosen't have a navy. Or much of an airforce for that matter.

I don't mean to be a whiny bitch here, but I am not at war with America at all. As a matter of fact, WW2 really hasn't started yet. AND japan dosen't ally with the Axis powers until 1940. And i believe its 1938. We arn't exactly following WW2 as it really happened, are we?

And how could the pilots on the Yorktown be experienced? The last action any US pilot saw was back in WWI and in Bi-planes. And these men who fought in WWI by now are considered 'Old'. In conclusion, the men on the yorktown are either Old, or inexperienced.

NOTE: I can't find Japan's militray size and strength anywhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Commandant General Yang Dezhi
From: Viceroy Krishna Patel

We shall free your country first, and then Indo-China. Then we can take over Korea so we can begin bombing runs on Japan, and hopefully make the Japs Surrender. My nation will use Guerrilla Warfare to weaken and demoralize the Japs.

"Mein Fuhrer!" Fritz looked up to see a Schmeilkern soldier standing in the doorway "yes?" Schmeil asked, knowing that by the look on the Scmeilkerns face it was bad news "a reasonably large group has ammased outside, they demand to speak with you!" Fritz sighed he knew what this was about, he got out of his seat and awaited the represantatives from the EinigNazi group, "Heil Hitler!" three men walked in and did the salute "what do you want this time?" Fritz had dealt with this group of radicals before "you know what we want, unification of the whole Nazi population by peaceful means, we can bear living under Rommels lead, we also know that Rommel offered peace and you turned it down, do you want this country to go to war?" the three men stared at Schmeil one of them was quivering "you gentlmen must understand that Rommel does not follow the doctrines of our savior Adolf Hitler, just take a look at his choice of Aides, thats right a dirty stinking Jew, now tell me, would you rather see the Nazis unified under Rommels pathetic twist on Hitlers grand plan, or would you rather see a unified Nazi population under the original Nazi scheme!" Fritz calmly poured himself a drink "now i'm a busy man so please tell me, who is it Rommel or Hitler?" The front man quivered "I support Rommel!" He stood firm and looked quite pleased with himself, Fritz looked calmly at his drink before, he snapped and threw his glass against the wall and drew his pistol and held it to the mans head "you still support your elustrious can't go wrong General!?" Fritz had gone bright red and his veins were showing, one of the men whimpered and then wet himself "your friend over their he seems to like his General friend so much, he's wet himself! So how much do you support your General, would ya' take a bullet for him?" the man was now shaking heavily "YES I WOULD!" Fritz turned and released a bullet into the wall, "i spit on your General! Leave before i make you take a bullet!" The three men ran down the corridor out, "Viktor, come in here!" A Schmeilkern Officer entered the room "take those men and the crowd outside over to Luxembourg prison, have Schmidt work on them, and remember i want them 100% loyal this time!"

NOTE: I can't find Japan's militray size and strength anywhere.

and about the supercarriers, did they exist in 1938 or were they in action in the end of WWII?

The training of the drafted men has started. The total training will take 8 months and after that the men and women can be stationed throughout the commonwealth. Naval shipyards meanwhile are working non stop on building the submarines, frigates, destroyers and cruisers Navy Command has ordered. The Fleet Air Arm has also decided which planes shall be used on the carriers. The planes will be the Gloster Gladiator and the Supermarine Seafire. The airforce has also ordered 475 Supermarine Spitfires and 250 Hawker Hurricanes for fighter duties, 125 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley and 85 Vickers Wellingtons for heavy bomber duties and 175 Blenheim for light bomber and long range fighter duties.

All of the fighting equipment shall be made in Australia itself, as we have enough space, resources and technology to do it. Some factories need to be build but most of the required factories and ship yards already exist. The entire remiliterization project will receive priority and most of the labour and money will go to it.

The entire project will be finished in 2/ 2.5 years (2/ 2.5 RL weeks???) if everything goes according to plans.

Message to all Commonwealth Nations

The nation of Australia is currently rebuilding its military. We currently have only three Infantry Divisions which could be send overseas. If any of you has the need for these troops, send a telegram to the ministery of Defence.

We have our concerns for the British territories in SE asia and the Indian Domains. Three cruisers, the Balagon, the Sir James and the Melbourne have left the port of Darwin for Singapore.

We await your views on this matter.

The Rt. Hon. Sir William Birdswood,
In view of the situation in the far east, the Secretary of State for India and Burma Lord Zetland, the Minister for Coordination of Defence Sir Thomas Inskip and myself have agreed that it would be wisest to advise that you station and spare division that you have at your disposal to protect the Burmese and Indian northern and eastern borders. We have recieved information, however, that the Viceroy is planning an offensive war on the Japanese forces in China. We leave the descision both to send your troops in a defensive capacity and the descision to use them offensively up to you and your military commanders.

Lord Stanley
Edward Montagu Cavendish Stanley,
Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs

To India:

The India and Burma Office

Krishna Patel,
Whilest we understand that the negotiation between the former Viceroy and current Prime Minister gave you large degrees of autonomy, especially when it comes to military deployment, and that this discision is nobody's but that of you and your cabinet, we would like to advise you against any offensive military action at the time being. We fear that an offensive strike at this time would be a poor descision, as it would cause you to loose any defensive advantage you may have over the Imperial Japanese forces. This, combined with the current instability in Europe at the current moment that makes British Forces unable to aid you, leads us to advics you, for we can do no more than advise, to take a defensive stand until attacked. We do not want the Burmese border becoming the Somme.
Yours,

Lord Zetland
Lawrence Dundas, 2nd Marquess of Zetland
Secretary of State for India and Burma

Schmeil walked through into Luxembourg prison where he had been held captive not too long ago "i must speak with Schmidt!" He looked over to the Warden who got out of his chair stood up and saluted "Heil Schmeil! We wern't expecting you so soon my Fuhrer, Schmidt is still down in the basement." Schmeil knew which way to go, he walked through a door leading to steps down, he got to the bottom and waited in the main room, a door opened to the left and a man wearing bloody overalls walked in "Herr Schmidt, have the EinigNazi's been reprogrammed yet?" Schmeil asked, Schmidt shook his head "no, not all of them, but we don't think it'll take too long to make them snap" Schmeil sighed "be quick about it, if a war starts ill need every man capable of fighting on MY side!"

We arent following WW2 to the letter obviously. But isnt it possible that China could've developed a navy and air force with the help of wester cultures pre war? Makes it more interesting!

Viceroy,

This pleases us greatly. Our large infantry shall penetrate Korean boarders as soon as she is immobilized (estimated time one day). Once it is secure, bombing runs can be made on the Japanese from Korean air bases. We are directing our new battlecruiser, the CSS Yu Wang Shang Ti, to the Korean coastline to aswell as our Dutch transport ships. DFeel free to use them as troop deployment transports. Regards,

Commandant General Yang Dezhi

Sir,

China is wiling to devote a smal expeditionary force to your use in defending the SE Asian territories in excchange for military technology. We are currently lacking in a strong navy and air force, and we wish to develop both these areas for defense against the Japanese. Any ships or aircraft you are willing to give us will be well accepted, or alternatively any plans you have for aircraft/ships would also be greatly appreciated. Regards,

Fritz walked into his office and sat down, Viktor turned and began to leave "wait, Viktor!" Schmeil called out, Viktor span around "yes my Fuhrer?" Schmeil sighed he wasn't sure if this was a good idea "Viktor, the EinigNazi's have got me thinking, we are currently alone in the world, countries dont respect us for being Nazi and those that are Nazi are under Rommels law." Viktor knew were this was going "you know the people better than i do, what would the reaction be to a pact of non-agression with Germany?" Viktor struggled to think of an answer "i think that the people would consider it a necassery evil if you told them the reasons behind it." Schmeil looked happy he immediatly began to write on a telegram slip

Telegram from Fuhrer Schmeil to Germany

General Rommel, as much as i continue to protest against your rule over Germany, i believe it would be in both our interests to sign a pact of non-agression, this way we can both work for the Third Riech together, Heil Schmeil

We are starting at 1938. China is on the brink of collapse, and they posses no real naval ports with which to base a navy. Japan was just sniffing around for an excuse for war, and the western powers knew this. As a matter of fact, the western powers were just curled up in theirm "Corners" and mtrying to avoid mwar. This is why Hitler took advantage of the situation, as he was literally getting away with murder.

(I would try to change nations if I were you, but India seems intrested in helping you. hell, india may even start WW2! Ask him for some planes or something!)

Stalin held a paper in his hand, reading it slowly. It was a telegram from the Charkov Factory Desing Bureau. The telegram said that the development of a new medium tank prototype was well underway. The telegram also stated several details regarding the design.

And how could the pilots on the Yorktown be experienced? The last action any US pilot saw was back in WWI and in Bi-planes. And these men who fought in WWI by now are considered 'Old'. In conclusion, the men on the yorktown are either Old, or inexperienced.


OOC: The pilots wouldn't be experienced as in having combat experience, but having a lot of flight and air combat training. Therefore they can be considered experienced. Do you agree or disagree?

I have contacted my counterparts in these countries, and they have paramilitary forces ready to aid in a liberation. Thank you again Premier!

OOC: The pilots wouldn't be experienced as in having combat experience, but having a lot of flight and air combat training. Therefore they can be considered experienced. Do you agree or disagree?*Sigh* I really don't feel like getting into an argument, but nearly every general agrees with a statement a Roman general made in the classical age:
"The only proper training ground is the battle feild"
Well... something alomng those lines. I forget his exact words...

But needless to say, by the end of WW2, german pilots were better and much more experienced then the Americain pilots, as they had seen more combat time. Training is essential for learning how to fire your guns, steer, ect... but now how the enemy thinks, flys, and the limitations of his aircraft.

NOTE: the BEST pilots came from Croatia ;)

Gentlemen, thank you for this massive contribution. It has strengthened our military force. We shall drive the Japanese back to the cages where they belong! Qua'pla!

-Air bases all across Japanese held China-
Fighters and bombers roared to life and assembled for the biggest pkanned airstrike in history. 30,000 Fighters and 2,500 bombers Massed up for a Giant air assult on The Chinese forces. Three Japenese armies totaling 150,000 men were already marching on China's last strong hold... Peking(Beijing); with more armies on the way. If it fell, the rest of china would be vunerable, as the politicians of China would be dead and anarchy would reign supreme. orginized resistance would effectivly end.

A lone army of Japan shot out of Western mancuria and was already begining its fight to cut off China's retreat from their dear capital. After all, nanking (Nationalist China's capital... the larger faction in china) had fallen to a smaller force of Japanese, while the 500,000 defenders had fled, only to be cut down along with the rest of nanking's population. the smaller force of desperate chinese communists was bound to be destroied.(PROPOGANDA)

ooc: 2/3 of japan's army is in manchuria. Korean and chinese forced labor is providing logistics for the army there.

ooc: How does he plan to get there i wonder...
What's that supposed to mean?!

In India...

After the confirmation of an alliance from China. The Indian Army shall help free Korea if their are any threat going to come. The Indian Viceroy and Supreme Commander of Indian Forces, ordered that he shall send 2 Divisions and 3 Air Force Squadrons to will help China free Korea and the rest of China.

Each Division includes 3 Regiments

Each Regiment includes:

Headquarters and Headquarters Company
Canon Company with six 105 mm Howitzers
Antitank Company with nine 57 mm antitank guns
Service Company:
1st Battalion with A, B, C, D Companies

Infantry Battalion consisted of 836 men, organized as follows:

Top Level: Headquarters and Headquarters Company
Antitank Platoon with the 57 mm antitank guns
Mine Platoon
Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoon
Ammunition and Pioneer Platoon
Heavy Weapons Platoon with 166 men, eight heavy machine guns, and six 81 mm mortars
Three Rifle Companies of 193 men: each company had three rifle platoons of three squads each and a weapons platoon with two .30 caliber light machine guns and three 60 mm mortars.

The Air Force Squadron needs to be updated since India had the old aircraft of the First World War. The needed to order per Squadron about 50 or more Supermarine Spitfire Fighter and American Bombers.

Sirs,

China requests the purchase of fifty spitfire and/or other military attack planes from either country. The planes will be used to defend ourselfs against Japanese incursions and we are willing to play handsomely in money or in troops, as that is our strongest military resource and we wish to balance it out. We also are looking for warships for sale, any from the powerful British and American Navies would make our enemies quiver with fear. If either of your great nations are open to negotiation, please reply as soon as possible. Regards,

Commandant General Yang Dezhi, China

China thanks India greatly and in return sends 10,000 men to assist with Indian attack plans. This will not hinder our attack efforts


1,900 elite warriors armed with rifles as well as samurai swords for close quarters fighting

7,000 red soldiers, each armed with rifles and 70 30. calibre light machine guns spead amongst the seven companies (A-G: 1,000 stong each)

I seriously hope you are joking.
1). China by this time are reduced to conscritps and forced military service, willing or not.
2). the chinese never used swords in WW2. Let alone samurai swords which are JAPANESE, not Chinese swords.
3). The only "Elite" China had were White Russian exiles. the American's noted China's poor and shabby training and reduced them to a mainly logistical role when they joined the war.
4). The only advantage China held over japan was their overwhelmingly huge and untrained army.

CHINA IS DIRT POOR. They don't have a coast line. They have like 2 million troops starving and eating their own shoes for christ's sake. I would be seriously suprised if China could afford a billy goat.

What you COULD do is loan them to him. Because China can't even buy a car for god's sake.

And ESPECIALLY after the sack of the CHinese capital at nanking, their treasury is GONE. What was left of it, anyhow.

OCC: Vineyard is right. Yo never use Japanese swords. Chinese would never use Japanese swords because the Chinese hate those god dam Japs. So never use Japanese swors unless you killed Japanese officers and grabbed their swords and used it. Basically, China had unlimited people to conscript and kill the enemy or use Martial Arts, but it's unlikelythat all your people know martial arts.

We feel that an alliance with Hungary would be fruitfull and we accept the offer.
Mikhail puts down the telegram and rejoices in having a comrade in arms. He thinks of how swiftly they can take the continent and implement the world revolution that Marx and Lenin envisioned.

It was five weeks before the promised General Election in the UK. The National Labour Party's candidate was obviously going to be there current leader and leader of the opposition. Sir Archibald Sinclair would remain leader of the Liberals. Sir Oswald Mosely would run with his blackshirts, they might win a couple of seats, but they didn't have enough candidates to even contemplate winning.
The Conservative's were in a dilema. Halifax didn't want to run, and it would have been unacceptable to the population to allow him to run as an unelected Lord. The possibilities were the Malcolm MacDonald, but he was only 38; Eden was the front runner, and a respected Foreign minister. However, there was a dark horse, the backbencher and former First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill.

We do not give out military equptment! It is proposterous that you even think of demanding such a thing! However, if you would like to purchase them, we would be willing to negotiate price.

I am truly sorry about this what we meant when we said we order it we wish you to make and sell them to us

Marshall Ysevald had just recieved the go ahead from G.S. Mikhail to Train 25,000 more men(1 division)for the Paramilitary. There would be 15,000 Infantry trained with the PPSH41, TKS, Model3 Submachine gun, and the Tokarev TT33. 5,000 will train for use of the 43M Zrinyi II and 41M Turan II. The other 5,000 will train for various sniper, heavy machine gun, and armoured personel carriers to be dispersed evenly between each Company. This would truly help boost the morale of citizens and soldiers alike. It also would boost the numbers in the military from 200,000 to 225,000. Marshall Ysevald smiled, folded the paper, and dispatched his officers to order the various weapons and conscript the 25,000 men needed.

The new leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister stepped forward, following the General Election. It was the popular (although not in the Party) back bencher and former First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. He had been decided for the position due to recent events in Germany, the far east and India. War loomed, and Winston Churchill, although a failure as First Lord of the Admiralty as shewn by the disasterous Gallipolli campaign, was the obvious choice. All the other politicians were, frankly, too weak for the job. The Conservatives election victory had not been a landslide, but they managed to keep the National Labour and Liberal parties. Unfortunately, Mosley had won a seat.

He took his seat behind the desk, and called his private secretary in:
"I want a report of our total military air and naval strength, in the UK, Palestine, and other colonies. Right away"
"Yes, Prime Minister"

The secretary returned soon with the large file. Churchill removed the summary from the file, and read it:

We argree to the terms of your propsed treaty, however, we reserve the right to not commit troops in the defence of the Dutch East Indies or any of your other colonies. Of course, we give you the same right with reference to our foreign colonies, including, but not limited to India and Australia. We are afraid that, however, a trade pact is out of the question, due to our unique relationship with out commonwealth. We hope you understand.

The committee of leaders of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia sat down and discussed the matter at hand. They knew that the USSR was about to go into a very heatful war, and it would be no surprise that they would be asked to help. Many people request that the three nations rebel against Stalin. However, the leaders realized that even though the USSR would be busy with the war... the three nations would still be completely demolished. They eventuilly came up with an idea. They thought that they could ask for more freedom from the USSR in exchange for helping them in this war. They wrote a letter.


To:Joeseph Stalin, Russia.
From: Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.

To the USSR,
As we can see, you are in a heated war, while still trying to control the nations you've invaded. It would be no surprise to you that we are not very happy about how we are ruled, however, we do know that Russia's military is great. We ask you now for a deal. If you give us a bit more freedom, we will greatly help you in your war. Please respond ASAP.

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mmussolini was eating Parmesan di vitello at his desk when he pondered what countries he should conquer. After careful thinking, he set his hopes for Malta and Albania. He was going to rebuild the military, invade both countries, and help his allies, becoming the new Roman Empire in the process. But first, he checked in with his transportation adviser to see if the trains were running on time. He replied, "Sì, il signore! I treni corrono sempre in orario sotto la sua grande direzione!" Knowing that, he returned to his office to look over maps and write the letter to Germany and Japan.

ooc. Wait a minute, I'm a bit confused. Are we (the commonwealth) at war with Japan?
Not yet. We're waiting for the Japanese to attack Malaya (Malaysia), Burma or Singapore, as well as French-Indo China (Vietnam) or The Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), which belong to our allies. We will be at war soon, however Australia has independence (since 1901 in RL) and India has some autonomy (as per the RP), so they don't have to attack when the UK does; although India is preparing a pre-emptive strike.

OOC: Bolshevik/Bolchevik (spelling varies) is Russian for worker I believe.
Большеви́к or Bolshevik roughly translates to Majority and derives from a split in the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, the other factions being the Menshiviks or minority. At the 2nd Congress of the RSDLP, Lenin argued for a small party of professional revolutionaries with a large fringe of non-party sympathizers and supporters. Martov disagreed, believing it was better to have a large party of activists. A majority of party members agreed with Martov and formed the Mensheviks, while Lenin's faction became known as the Bolsheviks. Although a majority of rank and file party members agreed with Martov, they formed a minority among the party leadership.

Thank God, once again, for wikipedia

OoC: GBR shifting that many divisions would deprive GBR of a Eurpoean Expiditionary force. Even its defence force at the Britich isles would be vunerable.

Britain had 50 divisions in RL in the UK. All those figures I used are RL figures.
We still have 40 divisions in the UK. And seeing the only two countries it looks likely we'll go to war with are Luxembourg and Italy, I think 40 divisions (pre conscription) is enough. As for being at war, I never said we were. However, by 1938 Japan held the eastern third of Japan, which means that the Japanese Empire holds the border to French Indo China, an allies colonies, and Malaya (through Siam, a Japanese ally-ish at the time).

You are ignoring the airstrike, as it would be devestating to you. The only way to save most your forces would be to scatter, but the Japanese armies would simply crush your men as they are spread out. SO:

-You are gathering ALLIES and PLANES so you can ignore the air strike until your allies arrive. But, I had launched the attack wayyy before they even thought of comming, so you are on your own. You can't warf time.

Since you have been ignoring my air attack persistantly, I will feel honored to RP for you.

:: All Fighters veer off to cordinated 207.32, we got a few incomming fighters.::
The approaching armies were moving in at a slow pace to give the planes time to finish up, so they could rush in for the coup de grace. That is when it hit them.
A mob of fightened chinses soldiers, who had apparently abandoned their weapons, ran into the japanese forces and begged for mercy.
The soldiers smiled to eachother. This is what had happened at Nanking.

12 fighters
300 troops who staggered into a massive booby trap.
1 tank. A rat got into the tank, and the tank commander was scared of rats. So he began to fire at the rat with his hand gun, which caused the driver to turn around to yell at him to stop. Unknowingly, the driver turned the Tank as he looked around, cauusing the tank to fall into a deep pool of water. every one made it out alive, but the tank is still down there. Rescue efforts are under way to save a fish who's fin was trapped under the tank.

Commandant General Yang Dezhi

Emperor,

Our nation is finally fed up with your assaults. Your slaughter of innocent people. Your murder of PoW's We are declairing official war on you. Our allies shall come to our aid and you shall fall. Gre'thor shall be paved with your ashes!

Are you on opium? (ooc: jokingly, it was the practice of Chinese to smoke Opium, a halucinating drug) We've been at war for 7 years! We have you where we want you. Surrender and we will let your leaders have exile in a country of their choice.
-Emperor Hirota

Lol at least u aint being obnoxious. But if i actually declair official war, my allies come to my aid (India, The Netherlands and the like). We will fight you on our beaches. We will fight you on our fields. We will never give up. We will never surrender!

But what about your forces else where? Is there 50 divisions total? Global wise, i mean

I have to say I'm not certain; however by the wording of the website it seems like it is referring to divisions in the UK. There were nine divisions overseas during the war, and 24 independent brigades. There was also the British Indian Army, which was commanded by the British but comprised of Indian men.
List of Indian regiments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Regiments_of_the_British_Indian_Army_%281922%29)

ooc: As per request of TGSR to tell him about italian planes.


Reggiane Re.2000 Falco I
Very capible and good fighter intercepor, the Falco I had:

-one 985hp Piaggio P.Xi RC.40 14-cylinder two row radial engine.
-Armamant: two 12.7 mm fixed forward-firing machine guns in the upper part of the forward fuselage, plus a bomb capacity of 800 kg.
-Preformance: 530 km/h climb to 6000m in 6 minutes and 10 seconds; service ceiling of 10,500m
-Range:1,400 km (aka 870 miles)

Unfortunately produced in low numbers for italy, this plane had massive export orders.


Reggiane Re.20001 Falco II, Re.2002 Ariete and Re.2005 Sagittario

These planes were of excelent design, but were seriously hindered due to the lack of a powerful engine. The italians didn't feel the need to develop vee engines, and these planes payed the price for it. If fitted with a powerful engine, these planes rule the skies.

Single seat fighter

-POWERPLANT; One 1175HP (876kW) Alfa Romeo RA. 1000 RC.41-la Monsoine 12-cylinder inverted vee engine (later used German engines, which were slightly better)
Note: can take off with 820 extra kg's.

-Armamnet: two 12.7 mm fixed forward firing machine guns in the upper part of forward fuselage and two 7.7 mm fixed forward firing machine guns in the leading edges of the wing.

-Performance: Max speed of 545 km/h Climb to 500m in 6 minutes and 20 seconds; Service ceiling 11,00m
-Range: 1,100 km (684 miles)


Macchi MC. 200 Saetta (Lightning)

First italian monoplane fighter. Again, under powered. Open air cock-pit, with no glass cockpit covering. (Italian pilots prefered it this way!)

-Power plant: one 870 hp (649 kW) Fiat A.74 RC.38 14-cylinder two-row radial engine

-Armamant: two 12.7mm fixed forward firing machine guns in upper front fuselage, plus an external bomb load of 320 kg (705 lbs)

-Performance: Max speed 503 km/h (312 mph); climb to 5000m in 5 minutes and 51 seconds. Service ceiling 8900m; range 870km (541 miles)
-Range: 870km (541 miles)

EARLY RELEASE, STILL BUILDING LIST

-Tokyo-
"145 divisions TOTAL!?!?"
"Yes, by 1945."
"Emperor, what you are asking will be difficult!"
"Yet, feesible. Start immediately."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Japanese_Army#Strength

Lol at least u aint being obnoxious. But if i actually declair official war, my allies come to my aid (India, The Netherlands and the like). We will fight you on our beaches. We will fight you on our fields. We will never give up. We will never surrender!
ooc: *Sigh*
Like i said in the telegram, we have been at official war for 7 years. we declared war on you 7 years ago, and you declared war on us 7 years ago.

May I also mention that japan had signed an alliance with germany and Italy in 1938, so if you bring in your allies, my allies would be drawn in as well, causing them to be too tied up to help you.

His Imperial Highness Reza Shah frowned as he reviewed the diplomatic and military assessments from the east. Only three years since the founding of the first modern University in his domain, and the world seemed to be flying by faster than he could help.

He called to the attention his Foreign Minister.

"I have decided", he started, "that we will adopt the Intellegence Service's proposal for an army reorganization. There will be a realignment into one Cavalry, and four Infantry divisions. But providing for them is beyond our capacity within Persia now."

"Therefore I want sourcing from powers that can provide high quality, and not likely to covet our dominions. Continue supply from Germany. Obtain vehicles and guns from them primarily. Work through commercial channels mostly. Extend our Krupp contracts whenever possible. Europe seems quiescent now, but there is always potential for trouble.

Verily, we cannot single-source arms, and leave ourseleves at the mercy of greater foreign powers and their conflicts. Japan could be a source, and we can increase trade and oil exploration with them. But this could be a source of friction with India as war grows in the orient. No. Send a delegation to President Roosevelt in America. Express interest in military equipment we can purchase from the United States, and both military and civillian advisors. We must advance literacy for our own commerce and wellfare. It will also be needed if ever there will be a demand for a greater army than we can provide now."

The minister rose and bowed deeply. "So it is said, so it shall be done" he replied, and left the room.

OoC:
May I also mention that japan had signed an alliance with germany and Italy in 1938, so if you bring in your allies, my allies would be drawn in as well, causing them to be too tied up to help you.
I agree with Vineyard here. Britain won't attack unless one of our allies (France and Holland) or our colonies is attacked. Although I feel you should not consider Germany an Ally due to the regime change in 1938 as per the RP.
I also feel I should point out that, whilest Japan did have 145 Divisions by 1945, you have to take into account the fact that Japan was all but defeated, and were probably be resorting to using people that they would otherwise not have used if they we're desperate.

To Chinese War Office:

<SECRET IC>



We would wish to help you with an assault on the Japanese, but this may well cause war in Europe. We will, however, send a large force, mainly of infantry but with some armoured cars, to aid you. This force MUST remain anonymous, however. If word got out that we where helping you, the unrest in Europe would be escalated to critical levels. We will also send unmarked Fokkers to bomb Japanese positions. The army will arrive by night, wearing unmarked uniforms. I truly believe that a vast array of nations are behind you, but will not offer help for fear of Germany and Italy. We shall try to turn around their views, but can promise nothing. Good Luck!!

Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn

To all nations:

The forthcoming war which we are all anticipating is coming. It is coming, and we can do nothing to delay it. That is why I beseech you to engage in open war with Japan. Too long have they been destroying and pillaging Chinese soil. For too long have they killed civilians and innocents. We must end this torture!! I call on all true allies, of the Netherlands, of China and of justice!! Join now and we can destroy the Japanese!! Australia, Britain, India, France, Russia and the USA: I call to you particularly. We all have territories near Japan. You all fear the same as me: that when China falls, Japan will have a stronghold into Asia, enough power to attempt a total assault on our forces. We must make a pre-emptive strike!!! If we do this, many will die, but many more will be saved!!

Hans Schimmel, Supreme Commander of Dutch Armed Forces

Intelligence Bulletin to the PM of Australia

After a build up of tension and alliances, the situation in Europe has cooled down. However, the nations of Turkey and Hungaria have turned Communist and have sought alliance with the USSR. Luxemburg is still blasting more propoganda and nonsense than it can fulfill.

The situation in Asia, more specific China, has gone completly out of control. Chinese forces have been defeated again and again but continue to fight the Japanese in an heroic, but foolish way. Massive bombardments have been made by Japanese Air Force and some reports speak of "a clear massacre worthy of Nanking" but it isn't confirmed by other reports. China and India continue to mount a foolish offensive which will certainly be defeated by the far superior Japanese forces. It is a fact, however, that if India will participate it will draw the commonwealth, and the world, in another war. Far more worse is that the commonwealth forces aren't ready even though GB and Australia have sent reinforcements. A quick roll over allied forces in SE Asia by Japan is almost certain.

We advise you that we musn't declare war for a nation which is already beaten decisevly or before our armed forces are ready.

Lt. Gen. Dickenson, Intelligence office

The Prime Minister put down the report with a deep sigh and took a sip from the glass of water which stood on his desk. He turned towards the large map of Asia which covered an entire wall of his office. The situation was grave indeed. Asia stood upon the brink of war before Australia, and most of the world, was ready for it. He returned to his desk and wrote an order that production in the arms factories had to continue 24/7. With luck, the entire new army would be ready within 5 months. He then wrote the following message.

From the desk of HM Prime Minister of Australia, Sir William Birdwood, to the nations of India and China
HIGHLY SECURED

I urge you to not start your planned offensive. It will certainly draw the world in another vicious war and this time, Australia isn't ready. If you start an attack, Australia will not give its support because it can't give support. If you wait, Australia, and most of the commonwealth, can give effective support. If war erupts, Japan will have a good chance of overrunning allied forces in SE Asia and perhaps the Pacific and Asutralia itself. Meanwhile I advise you, especially China, to use guerilla tactics to endanger Japanese supply lines. Hit them in unsuspected places and at unsuspected times and hit him hard! It will certainly be more effective than the charge of thousands of badly trained troops on a well trained and equiped force which has an excellent moral. Once the time for an offensive is there (once Australia and the commonwealth is ready) we will certainly be present. If we take the time needed we can strike from all sides and defeat Japan.

But the time is not now...

Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn,
The British Government is requesting your permission, with reference to the mutual defence agreement, to build a military bases large enough for one infantry division to be built in the Dutch East Indies. This force would be used to strengthen our military alliance and would be used to defend the your colonies in the case of Imperial Japanese invasion, and as a base of amphibous attack should the Imperial Japanese attack our colonies in Burma, Malaya, or Hongkong. We hope you agree to this, as it would benefit both our nations.

The large spotlights made the ship's hull gleam. The newly painted warship was beginning to look Chinese. No one would ever suspect it was Dutch. Three Dutch ships had already been repainted and sent into Japanese waters by nightfall. British Navy ships were also en route. Japanese sea convoys would be sent back to where they came from. Several hundred armed men arrived by nightfall, dressed casually with a letter from a "Eurpoean Friend With Common Interests". The men were quickly assimilated into the Chinese ranks. All Chinese troops had been called back from front lines and ordered to adopt a "Scortched Earth" tactic. The Chinese government was not willing to loose anymore men at the moment, they would bide their time

Dear sir,

We shall wait for Austrailia to build up her forces and stick to gurrella warfare until then, especially cutting off her trade and supply routes. Thank you for your suggestion and support. I hope we havnt caused too much bother in Europe with Germany due to our alliances. The world learnt the hard way 25years ago the failure of the alliance system. Please telegram me as soon as Austrailian forces are mobilized. Regards,

Travellers intending to embark on the Pacific voyage into Japanese waters are reminded that a state of war exists between China and her allies and Japan and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the Japanese coastline; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Chinese Curia, vessels flying the flag of Japan, or of any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Japan or her allies do so at their own risk.

Peoples Condederation of Chinese States Curia, Military Branch, Bejing
April 1938

Though changes were all around them, the Czechoslovakians were still the unimportant centrel europeans which other nations didnt want dealings with. Peacefull offers for Bohemia and Moravia go ignored by Germany(Dont know where he is), so the offer is removed from the table.

(OOC -- Forgot leaders name, and dont feel like looking for it now)
*Insert leaders name here* had major changes instore. Production of the AVIA B.534 is on the increase, and production of the LT-38 is also on the rise. The standing army is to be increased aswell.

OOC -- For note, other nations had a small amount of the LT-38, 50 were exported to Iran 24 each to Peru and Switzerland and Latvia had some though it's like 10 or so, and all around 1935ish.

Also anyone know how big the Czeh army was?
I can find there total pop and figure one from there, but would like there WWII army.

OoC: Your PM was Jan Syrový, your president was Edvard Beneš until October, then Jan Syrový (acting) to November, then Emil Hácha until March.
Your army was small, but one of the best trained and equipped in all of Europe. I can't find the actual size, but you suffered 7,000 military deaths; I would extrpolate that to mean you had an army of about 50-100 thousand. That's just an educated guess, mind you.

OOC -- Emil Hácha was the only one I could find, Thanks for those, and yeah the army size is very elusive, I may go with your suggestion unless I can find anything to back up a larger force.

The merchant ships continued on course. Captain Kyun-Ji of the CSS Yu Wang Shang Ti held the microphone up to his mouth again and motioned for a communications link. "Unidentified convoy leader. Under order of the Chinese Curia you are not permitted to enter the warzone. Leave immediatly or be destroyed." he stated. The ships did not reply. "Fire a warning shot across their bow," he said cooly. The ships loud guns boomed, sending shells across the mecrchant ship's bow, exploding on the waters surface. "Anything yet?" he asked the communications officer. The man shook his head. Kyun-Ji held the microphone to his mouth again. "Captain," someone yelled. He spun round. "Sir, they're doing something on the lead ship," the man said. Kyun-Ji clicked his fingers and a man brought him a set of binoculars. Someone was raising a flag on the ships mastpole. It was Japanese. Kyun-Ji picked up the microphone. "Destory them all," he ordered. The three Chinese battleships opened fire on the veseels until they sank.

Several men floated in the freezing cold water as teh Chinese ships sailed by. Chinese sailors stood on the decks with machine guns and shot them where they floated."That was for Nanking you bastards" gthey roared from the decks. This war was only just beginning....

Holy Cow. God-moding. I rped your forces because you were ignoring it for days. But this is outrageous. Don't do it again. I will let this one slide.

IC:
The communications officer remained jittery at the prospect of allowing some kind of enemy ship to come in and sink the enemy. but, the plan had worked, and the decoy convoy manned by a skaleton crew had worked. the enemy had just put the nose around their own necks.

The enemy had been lured into a semi circle of Japanese navies that had been monitering alarming telegrams comming out of Beijing 9Remember, i have it completely surrounded). The last Fleet had just moved into position, closing the circle. In mere minutes, the Chinese ships (really dosen't qualify for a navy) would be attacked by a huge swarm of Zeros.

The zeros swarmed in, using cloud cover and the night to cover their movements. They suddenly dove in waves, dropping their bombs with the percision they had done for years. Unfortunately for the Chinese, they were just sitting still, not moving an inch.

The battle ships, destroiers, corvetts, subs, and frigates closed in. Using their forward guns to fire while on the move. They would all swerve to the left in unison, with the smallest ships in front and the largest in back in order to utilise the full firepower of the japanese navy.. If the chinese survived the massive zero attack, they wouldn't survive this.

-South of Beijing-
:: Cut communication. We have learned enough from their communications system. Let them retreat and burn their own villages. it will just make it harder for their counter attack. keep bombarding beijing, and sit back on your heels and dig in. 5 armies are slated to reinforce all positions tomorrow morning.::

*All telegram lines were then cut and radio chinese radio systems were taken out. Beijing had fallen silent.*

ooc: "The army will arrive by night, wearing unmarked uniforms."
Sorry to be a prick, but how exactly do they plan to get into china without China having any coast line?

Message to Japan

Spain will pay (insert whatever the price would be here) for 500 Zeros and a Yamato Battleship we hope that it is not to much to demand

"I said burn them. The attack planes. We cannot even pretend to have any knowladge of their involvement. Remember those cut communications? Bring them to life. We will issue messages impersonating China. Include everything, even bull-shit supply comments and orders. oh, and radio stations. Set up imposter ones with sound-alike Chinese speakers manning them as the radio hosts. China's allies won't suspect a thing, as they have no knowladge of our surrounding Beijing. Which means the chinese are just figuring it out now. Those inbound Dutchies don't know it either. Set up an ambush for our guests. I want some ranking officer captured, thank you."
The general was speechless. This was a simply amazing plan!

-ENCRYPTED (CHINESE) TELEGRAM TO THE DUTCH-
Dear Comrade,
We need more troops for our counter attack. Please send your entire army to Beijing! Our massive attack will catch japan unprepared and drive them to the sea! Let us coordinate your army movements with mine, so we can out manuver and link up to the south! lets slaughter those Japanese idiots together!

Commandant General Yang Dezhi


-Manchuria-
Seven entire armies were thrown into the lines, causing a "ripple" effect. this caused the Southern cut-off army to be hugely reinforced. scout plane patrols increaced and the troops were put on high alert. As soon as the enemy were spotted, they would set up an ambush judging on their movement. If the dutch DID send their whole army, it would be crushed by the suprise attack.

ooc: This has to be up there as one of my most brilliant moves. Reminds me of the time in RTW, where i had a few sword infantry and the enemy had a massive (elite) calvery force. I out manuvered him BIG TIME and crushed him. I was infuriated as he had set up the map, the terrain, and the weather against me; as he was the host. That bastard shure got a shock! :D

Message to Japan

Spain will pay (insert whatever the price would be here) for 500 Zeros and a Yamato Battleship we hope that it is not to much to demand

OOC: can someone act as the USA so that i can be sold or not sold the recuested weapons
Our allies had helped you in the civil war. We hope to becoma allies. If we do become allies, the Zeros and the battle ship are to be considered a gift and will be free.

From: Baltic Partisons

Stalin,
Our intellegence agents have informed us that activity in the Chinese-Japanese war is building. While the two countrys already are fighting strongly, sources from other partisons say that unidentifiable planes have been flying over. Also, sights of unidentified fleets are already headed in that direction. We think that if the situation does elevate... Russian borders with those two nations might be in danger. Our suggestion is that you try to set up a defensive perimeter, making sure the USSR does not get involved. If you need assistence, we will have forces standing by. Hail Stalin!

Baltic Partisons

Spain would like to become allied with Japan. But at this time does not want to get involved in the war with china. As it may end up causing the USA to not sell us many of the weapons we wish to purchase and it seems your doing very well by your self in china. At this time only if Japan its self is attacked will we interfere with the war.

Thank you ally. But as you may know, we possess many of the same type of weapons the USA posesses, and would like to provide them for you. We do not wish for you to get mixed up in the Chinese war, unless China brings its allies in.
-Emperor Hirota

We do not know what kind of US weapons you have but the types we are looking for are

Aircraft: B-17s and P-39s
Ships: Iowa Battleships, we know you don’t have any and the USA has not made any yet no one has any, aircraft carriers
Guns: M1 Garand, M1918A2 B.A.R., M1A1 Thompsons, M1911A1

And if you have any of the these German units we would like them some as well we have asked Germany for some but they have not answered

The units are

JU-87 STUKA
HE-115
FW-200 CONDOR

And we would also like to place a request for some of Japans Aichi E11A seaplanes

We know this may seem like a lot to ask for or it may not either way Spain’s military needs a major refit

To "Chinese" War Office:

As we previously stated, we will not send our full army as we risk being identified and we must defend our own country.

Hans Schimmel

OoC: The troops will be paradropped into China. Also, you wouldn't have heard about our move, because communications lines have been changed since the siege of Beijing. We are now communicating to other outposts. I wouldn't even dream of sending a telegram to a seiged city!! I know that I didn't specify this, because I thought it seemed obvious. Nevertheless, I will agree to continue with you "knowing" about our strike, as you have already done a pretty large psot about it. And finally, can China and Japan please stop going at each others throats in OoCs!! Otherwise we'll have a real war on our hands!!

Omg Vineyard, would u acutally lay the f**k off! All uv done since i got her is pick apart EVERYTHING i say even though it is clearly stated AND explained in previous telegrams! Every time i do something u pick i apart and then blow them up with ur "brilliant forces". Let me point these out:

1) I have allies, they can send me ships, aircraft, infantry etc
2) I have boarders with my allies colonies u dipsh*t and THATS how im getting the men in!
3) Why do you pick apart everything i say eventhough it is clearly explained in previous telegrams?
5) No one else has problems with what i do except you
4)I rped your forces because you were ignoring it for days.What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Ive been on every day since i got here!!!
5) Can you by any chance even TRY to be a little less critical and have fun rather than pick apart every f**king thing i say?!

thanks
