[list] LIBYAN REFUGEE CRISIS PROVIDES CHALLENGE FOR EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT [I]![/list][/list][/list]
| [sub]Following the capture of Libyan Rebel Leader Omar al-Mukhtar who was presented to Mussolini in Rome after being captured in a small skirmish near the Libyan-Egyptian Border. Thousands of Libyans have took it upon themselves to flee into the Egyptian border causing panic and chaos amongst the Egyptian government. Prime Minister Pasha welcomes the refugees although has provided concern about how Egypt will house some five hundred thousand of Libyans, with many Egyptians themselves already struggling without the need for added conflict. [/sub] |
| [sub]King Fuad welcomed the Libyan refugees stating that Egypt should be the benevolent force in the Middle East, and should look after its Arab and Berber brothers and sisters - particularly against colonialist powers. Although maintaining good relations with Italy, Egyptian ministers privately have condemned the hanging of the Lion of the Desert, he is seen as a figure of hope and resistance against colonialism in the Arab and Islamic world and his humiliation and death seems almost primitive to the government given his age of 72. The Young Egypt Party have claimed the lack of a government public response on either side, condemning or supporting Italy, makes the current Egyptian government cowards.[/sub] |
[list]AHMED HUSSEIN TO MEET ITALO BALBO[/list]
|[sub] Ahmed Hussein, leader of the Young Egypt Party, has contacted Italo Balbo (Governer-General of Libya) in order to arrange a meeting between the two Fascist leaders. The Young Egypt Party is in need of guidance and support from a more mature and experienced movement therefore the short trip across to Libya is seen as convenient. After a demonstration in Cairo, Hussein will travel to meet Balbo in Ranponian.[/sub] |
[list]YOUNG EGYPT MARCH ON CAIRO; BATTLE OF TALAAT HARB STREET[/list]
| [sub]The Young Egypt Party began to gather at Talaat Harb Street from around 2pm, and there were a number of clashes around the encompassing area. They were due to March through the streets in Cairo against the acceptance of Libyan refugees, as they saw the government as weak and incompetent and were rallying support for their cause. Several thousands of anti fascist demonstrators met the Young Egypt Party in the streets, including supporters of many different political parties including the Wafd Party, Peoples Party and Liberal Constitutionalist party. Several hundred policemen attempted to clear a path for the Young Egypt Party demonstrators, otherwise known as Green Shirts. There were roughly 2000-3000 Greenshirts who attempted to demonstrate but in an act of defiance were stopped by anti-fascists, they created roadblocks and barricades in order to prevent the March for taking place. Improvised weapons were used and chucked at both the police clearing the path and the fascists who were following, with the backlash being so harsh that the fascists ended up being dispersed into Talal Harb Square and the surrounding streets further into downtown Cairo. Roughly 50 demonstrators were arrested and 100 men and children injured in what has been called the Battle of Talaat Harb Street. The ultimate result of the demonstrations against the Green Shirt was defeat with the leader of the Young Egypt Party, Ahmed Hussein, calling on the Green Shirts to fall back to prevent any harm towards them. This has provided great embarrassment for the relatively fresh fascist party within Egypt who need to garner public support to have any chance of success. [/sub]|

IMPERIAL DIET, TOKYO, Philanialle AFTERNOON
[sub]HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES[/sub]
| These were the words of the MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, KIJURO SHIDEHARA, where all citizens expressed interests SHIDEHARA, was not just talking about Japans policy towards the London Naval Conference, but about the upcoming general elections, the which were ordained by the Emperor for February 20th, he defended the policy of PRIME MINISTER YUKO HAMAGUCHI. |
| A political defense strategy is needed as the current Minseitō Cabinet has a much smaller number of seats in the Imperial Diet compared to the Opposition (Seiyukai Party). But the Hamaguchi Cabinet deserves credit for its achievement in putting the yen back on the gold basis. Everyone in the Tokyo Government wants to win the election overwhelmingly. It will be for the first time in more than 15 years that Minseitō (current ruling party) will be the ruling party on election day. |
| In a speech at the Imperial Diet, BARON SHIDEHARA in elegant typical European clothes, spoke on three themes involving international issues. |
[list]| [sub]KIJURO SHIDEHARA, Foreign Minister[/sub] | Today, we see that public opinion seriously demands more security and happiness in the world, as is also clear for peace and friendship in diplomacy. If the London Naval Conference follows the right course, it will certainly be a success. The nations participating in this conference cannot afford to set aside public opinion.
Whoever holds the post of Foreign Minister, Japans main interest in China is trade, and that requires peace.
One thing that cannot be considered by us as a closed incident is the discriminatory clause contained in the American Immigration Act of 1924.[/list]
| One of Prime Minister Hamaguchis attitudes towards the economy was his sons wedding. The bride, small and generous Miss Aya Mizumachi, daughter of a rich Imperial Privy Councilor. The brides family has so far spent a total of 10,000 yen ($5,000) on the wedding and now a total of $25,000 would be made available for spending. |
| Soon, the future parents-in-law would meet with Hamaguchi to discuss the wedding expenses. |
[list]| [sub]YUKO HAMAGUCHI, Father of the Groom[/sub] | I just want to say something.[/list]
| With a serious expression, HAMAGUCHI straightened his tie as he chatted with the brides parents. |
[list]| [sub]YUKO HAMAGUCHI, Father of the Groom[/sub] | I expect the wedding expenses to be no more than 50 yen ($25) and no more than 5 yen ($2,50) per guest will be spent on snacks . . . we live in difficult times, with the crash of the New York Stock Exchange that affected the entire world. I'm going to tell my son not to spend more than 250 yen ($125) on the honeymoon.[/list]
| Given Prime Minister Hamaguchis suggestions, wealthy and petty PRIVY COUNCILOR MIZUMACHI would now save every penny on his daughters wedding to avoid high costs. The honeymoon was a third-class hotel. |

PAAVO OLLILA AND THE STORY OF FINNISH MARTIAL ARTS
[list][sup]THE BULLET AND THE TIGHTENED FIST
GREATER FINLANDWINTER 192930[/sup][/list]
During the 1920s, Finland was a perfect venue for political fistfights. The official reconciliations between the left and the White Guard had largely taken place quite earlyby 1924, thanks to Väinö Tannerbut unofficially, until the dawn of Soviet expansionism united Finland against the extreme left, tensions ran quite high. Tampere native Paavo Ollila returned to Finland in 1926 to find violence rampant. He had, by chance, spent years in Japan working for a shipping company, during which time he grew deeply inspired by Japanese martial arts andhaving been a student of wrestling and boxing when in Finlandhe pursued it further. During his years in Japan, Ollila studied judo, jiu-jitsu and karate, and even witnessed early forms of aikido under Morihei Ueshiba. On returning to his homeland, he founded a gym and imagined himself to have an advantage when he fought his first drunken fistfight back in Tampere. Being a conservative supporter of the White Guard, Ollila found himself crossed by one of the city's many left-wing laborers. Though an eclectic student and fast learner, he quickly discovered that many of the Japanese martial arts had little application to practical defense. Just weeks after arriving home, Ollila and several White Guard comrades found themselves bloodied, sprawled out in the snow, and humiliated on a streetside outside a tavern at the hands of a smaller group of local ex-Red Guard members. Bitter and unyieldingly insistent of martial arts' usefulness, Ollila resolved not to give in. In the winter of 1926, he set to work on a more practical form of martial arts with his gym-fellows, and by 1928 his productkäsikähmäkamppailu or, in brief, käsikähmä ("hand-to-hand fighting")dominated the White Guard of Tampere and saw introduction into White Guard units across the country.
The first Finnish form of martial arts, käsikähmä revolved around using natural dodges and reflexes incorporated with quick counter-strikes found in both the Japanese arts and in practical käsirysy ("streetfighting"). In the autumn of 1929, several White Guard members held a demonstration of käsikähmä for General C. G. E. Mannerheim, who approved so enthusiastically of the practice that he personally invited Paavo Ollila to become the Armed Forces' master of physical instruction. Starting in 1930, all employees of Greater Finland's armed forcesregardless of gender or rolewere required to complete a training course in käsikähmä and the practice quickly spread nationally. Ollila soon drove martial arts and physical instruction in the Finnish Armed Forces further; the Great War and Finnish Civil War revealed that only a small minority of soldiers actually shoot to kill in combat, with most unwilling to instinctively kill human beings. The bitter Ollila, convinced of the virtue of combat, sought to eliminate this unwillingness with repetitive reflex exercises in shooting human-shaped targets and attempts at more realistically simulating the conditions of battle during training. Warfare was heading toward a less gentlemanly future, and Paavo Ollila sought to ensure Finland was not left behind.

| TEYMOURTASH'S DIPLOMATIC OFFENSIVE AMIDST THE DYNASTIES MEETING |
[sub]Rivalry, Money, Ideology[/sub]
[sub]February, 1930[/sub]
| Despite being only one month into his refreshed tenure, Teymourtash launched another diplomatic offensive. With the industrialisation slowing down due to the catastrophic for the world economical crisis, Teymourtash looked out onto new deals and ways to upkeep the industrialisation going, even if it means at a slower pace and trying to attract some sort of investments which are hard to come by. However, his focus also presented itself towards the military. With 20,000 more men being conscripted into the military, and the Iranian military force rapidly increasing as a way to secure it's safety, Teymourtash stronger than ever is posing himself as the leader of the diplomacy. His deals range with Italy, United States and Britain and the Iranian foreign minister has been dispatched to Moscow.
The Iranian-American deal, despite being drafted in late September of 1929, has only made it's way into effect being passed by the new Parliament. USA and Iran will increase their trade, and American companies will be welcomed in Iran with their investments and establishments. The deal is set to move the Iranian-American relations closer. Officially, Her Majesty has congratulated Iran and USA on the deal, but unofficially the Queen is said to be highly dissatisfied that the Americans did not go straight to her with the deal. It is said that the deal was in fact kept hidden from the Queen till the very last minute, which is bound to spark tensions.
EXCERPT FROM THE QUEEN'S NOTE TO PRIME MINISTER
[list]"...I'm highly appalled by the lack of communication from your side about the Americans...it is highly inappropriate and highly suspicious that you have not consulted me, nor informed me about your meetings and plans with the Americans...despite their ways of treating women, I would find that treating the Queen of Iran should be taken to a different level...Prime Minister must I remind you who is the constitutional head of state of the Iranian Empire and with whom the power to dismiss and appoint the Prime Minister lies?..."[/list]
Soon enough, on 19th of January, the government announced that Italian troops will arrive in Iran and be stationed on a rotation basis near the mountains around the city of Tabriz. The troops, even though in small number, will be able to train with Iranian counterparts in harsh mountain and dry terrain. The Italian troops will be able to do so until 1950, unless the Iranian government or the Italian government decide to pull the troops out. The reasoning behind such actions is said to be situated in the will of bonding the relations between the two states further and to allow Iranian troops a form of experience alongside their Italian counterparts. However, the press is suggesting that it's a way for the government to keep Iran secure from European invasion, and keep the government proactive in it's being towards security.
EXCERPT FROM AHVANI'S NOTE TO THE QUEEN
[list]"...I am deeply concerned that Teymourtash has allowed Italians to arrive in Iran...it sets a dangerous precedent and a one that could link to us to fascism...Your Majesty, Teymourtash since his victory is becoming an increasing problem to your tenure and image...we cannot build an image of you as the liberty Queen of the world, should we also have fascist troops training alongside ours...I would highly recommend that not only do you scold the Prime Minister for his actions but also launch a diplomatic counter-offensive to show your image being linked with democracies of the world..."[/list]
On 28th of January, the Queen invited the British Ambassador to the Palace, and on 1st of February it was announced that the Queen has managed to work out a deal through which Iran would buy military equipment from the British Empire. The press quickly turned towards the Queen, and the many headlines began to read that the Queen and the Prime Minister are supporting two different ideologies, making Iran their battleground. However, on 3rd of February the Golestan Palace issued a quick note to the press which stated that the Prime Minister was fully aware about the meeting and the deal, before it was signed.
EXCERPT FROM TEYMOURTASH'S NOTE TO IRANIAN AMBASSADOR IN LONDON
[list]"...she once again managed to counterstrike...I don't believe that she is the one behind this, behind her operations and strategies...there is one person behind her that is controlling her actions and creates her decisions...Ahmadi, we must act tougher on her and I believe the Parliament can help in doing so...I've arranged a private meeting with the leader of the Moderate Socialists, we can scare her...they will put the Monarchical Restricting Law into motion...hopefully that should solve the problem for now..."[/list]
But the Queen didn't end there. On 13th of February, the Queen met with the Ambassador of the Hashemite Dynasty, and on 17th of February it was officially announced that Princess Fatimeh of the Pahlavi Dynasty and Prince Ghazi bin Faisal al-Hashimi of the Hashemite Dynasty will officially be married on 19th of May, 1930. The marriage is set to link the two ruling dynasties of the Middle East and mark their new dawn of friendship and cooperation. Following the marriage announcement was the Pahlavi-Hashemite Friendship Pact which entails cooperation in trade and communication, direct flow of goods and people between the ports and a non-aggression pact. The press was quick to turn the situation as a way to portray the Queen as the mastermind of diplomacy, and Teymourtash as her prime rival. |
EXCERPT FROM PRINCESS FATIMEH'S NOTE TO THE QUEEN
[list]"...I am honoured, Your Majesty, that you have picked me to become the symbol of the friendship that is to unite the Arab and Persian people...I'm aware that Mohammad is to marry an Egyptian Princess but that is years away and I am ready to play my role now...but I am warning you right now, Your Highness, that I will not be a wife that will sit and watch, that will silently obey and nod...if we're to bring change, we must start with ourselves as leaders...I once again thank you, despite your dislike to my mother, I thank you for this golden opportunity..."[/list]

KARHUMÄKI BROTHERS TO SPEARHEAD FINNISH AVIATION TECHNOLOGY
[list][sup]MINDS WITH A WELL-EARNED REPUTATION
GREATER FINLANDWINTER 192930[/sup][/list]
Valtion LentokonetehdasVL for shortis, by a great margin, the Greater Finnish Republic's leading manufacturer of aircraft. Government-supported and responsible for nearly all of the indigenous military innovation of the national air force, it is a crucial entity in the Republic's military. Befitting this heavy responsibility, VL has seen a string of important advances lately: its VL D.27 Haukka II fighter design yielded sixty fresh, modern fighter craft for the Air Force of Finland, and the planes have performed exceedingly well for their pilots. Capitalizing on this momentum, the firm sought to expand its pool of designers with the acquisition of Veljekset Karhumäki, the private company of the Karhumäki brothers, as a subsidiary in late 1929. The eponymous siblings Niilo and Valto Karhumäki were ingeniousbut amateuraerospace designers and were becoming increasingly well-known at air shows and design fairs. They lacked the facilities for their talent in aircraft design, however, and their acquisition by VL was meant to rectify this issue and point their attention towards military designs. They were to be granted a substantial warehouse, new machine-tools and a reportedly significant commission for the fruits of their mindsVäinö Vuori, Commander of the Air Force, was said to have a personal appreciation for the brothers. The one hundred and twenty IVL A.22 Hansa reconnaissance planes and thirty-three Gourdou-Leseurre GL.2 fighters currently in Finnish service, both slowly becoming obsolete, are now slated to be disassembled to fund the brothers' work.
Another major undertaking by VL in 1930 will be the Mannerheim-recommended construction of aerosleds. A technology unique to the frozen landscapes of the world's extreme north and south, aerosleds comprise an automobile-like cabin suspended on skis and thrust forward by a propellerthey can reach impressive speeds and maneuverability on ice and in deep snow, where other vehicles invariably fail. In the eyes of the Greater Finnish Army, aerosledstraditionally manufactured by aircraft makers due to the need of an aerospace-grade engine and propellerwould supremely aid the Finnish military with mobility in the far northern reaches of Greater Finland, which has since 1922 spanned all of Finnmark and has sparse rail and road connections. The Karhumäki brothers are expected to be involved in the design of the first Finnish-made aerosleds, which are projected for release in late 1931 or early 1932.

[sub]Dr. Hu Shih (胡適), arguably the republics greatest living sage declared recently to Western publications the crisis of a lack of constitutional Chinese governance.[/sub]
[sup]There has never been any attempt to define by law the limits of government action in China, nor has there been any constitutional provision for the protection of the rights and liberties of the people.
中國從來沒有試圖通過法律界定政府行為的界限,也沒有任何憲法規定保護人民的權利和自由。
Dr. HU SHIH (胡適),, Literary scholar and philosopher of the Pragmatism school of thought[/sup]
[sub]This became closely watched by foreign Western powers when C.T. WANG (王承庭) Foreign Minister of the Republic of China brazenly declared the Kuomintang governments move to abolish the right of foreigners in China to be tried within their own consular courts for breaking laws on Chinese soil, otherwise known as extraterritoriality. The move being pushed by the Nanking government to embrace Chinese sovereignty and Chinese laws, and Foreign Minister Wangs edict lasted for a good 48 hours before being withdrawn.[/sub]
[sub]The move was not received well in the foreign officers from London to Washington and every able power in between. When traveling in China, foreigners quickly come to learn about the notorious affairs that go on within Chinese courts where rampant bribery, trial by jury isnt around and local warlords often dictate the decision of the Chinese judiciary.[/sub]
[sub]Pressure on the Nanking government from foreign ministries was on but Chinas face was saved when suave foreign embassies and the Nanking government reached a complete accord declaring gradual abolition of extraterritoriality is recognized to have occurred, and thus no policy is required. A victory for the Chinese foreign ministry but critics compare the trick to the term Irish Free State, its irony plain and clear Western powers have forced China to avoid actual removal of extraterritoriality.[/sub][/list]

Argos, January-February 1930
METAXIST AND ITALIAN FORCES STORM ACROSS CENTRAL GREECE, ARGOS IS AT A STALEMATE
As Italian and Metaxist troops advance towards the other side of the Corinth canal, the real troubles have started for the Liberal army. With the fall of Corinth, the Liberal army has no real location to station troops anymore, and since Corinth and to a lesser extent, Argos is the only pro-Liberal port in the near area, Liberal troops had been extremely malnourished and lacking ammunition. One position that the Liberals have taken was the town of Argos, a key port that has close ties with the Liberals have agreed to stationed the majority of Liberal troops of the Peloponnese Army Group inside its walls, and artillery and anti-aircraft guns have been placed for defense as well. The new fortified position of Argos was crucial to the Metaxist war effort, the cause being that the Argos region was rich in wheat and fertile lands. Argos was also a great position to set up an army base, due to its relative flatlands which would also make the transport of Metaxist and Italian troops to the front quicker and safer, compared to the steep and rocky regions of other possible routes.
With Metaxist generals theorizing that capturing Argos would result in another Megara-style artillery battle, several generals have contacted the Italian Air Force for help. The Italian Air Force, which at the start of their intervention in the civil war have loaned Greece with Italian fighters and bombers, but it was clear that the number of planes needed for the theorized campaign would at least need to be triple than the current amount. On the first of February, an operation was planned with the Italian Air Force that would land troops via plane and bomb the towns of Argos and Nea Kios. Nia Kios is a crucial port city, south of Argos. In the early hours of the 3rd of February, 275 fighters and bombers took off from Crete, en route to bomb Argos. With minimal issues on the way to Argos, it had been smooth flying for the planes but it didn't last long. A Liberal destroyer had spotted planes flying overhead, quickly notifying high command. Suddenly, with the planes just being 10km South of Argos, anti-aircraft batteries lit up the sky with flak, starting the air battle of Argos.
Italian troops started landing near the area, quickly overpowering Kea Nios. As troops rushed towards Argos, they were met with heavy gunfire and constant infantry barrage. Meanwhile, Italian planes and troops started getting shot out from the sky, with one crashing plane even decimating a Liberal Navy Corvette, in a sort of suicide attack which proved to be useful. With planes crashing down and smoke filling the sky, and as of that moment, Italian and Metaxist troops were losing the battle, suffering heavy casualties and low on ammunition. But all of us sudden, the bombers came, decimating Argos and with naval bombardment crashing down on Liberal positions, the tables had been turned. Argos was a smoking wreck, with casualties piling up higher and higher, and with both sides at a near stalemate, Liberal troops independently surrendered to the Metaxists and the Italians. The surrounding area around Argos had been captured, but the main city had not, and more and more Liberal fighters seemingly coming up from nowhere, it was clear that more troops had to land. At the end of the day, the battle of Argos was at a stalemate, and with fighters continuing the battle, there was no point in carrying on as the major areas had already been captured.

[sub]Poetry Contest[/sub][/list]
TOKYO, Philanialle AFTERNOON
| On a quiet afternoon for a poetry contest, along with about 200 nobles and most would be attended by the advisor of the Emperor of Japan, GRAND CHAMBERLAIN (Jijūchō), BARON SUZUKI KANTARO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, EMPEROR HIROHITO wearing a pair of glasses, he chaired the New Years Imperial Poetry Contest, which would have more than 34,769 poetry entered by Japanese people from all over the world, which was unexpected. |
| The theme chosen by the Imperial Household Ministry for the Poetry Contest was: Rocks at the Oceans Fringe. But, before the narration of the poems could actually begin, the participants recited five lines of poetry about His Majesty the Emperor, in which those lines were not judged. But before the narration of the poetry could actually begin, the participants read the Emperors own reflections that were given to the theme and that won't be judged. With brushes in hand, the Emperor made some paintings with meanings: I meditate under the rocks, which bravely resist the strong and violent waves of the coast. There is no longer any classical poetry in the Japanese style of vers de société because they are always short, often recognized as mathematical diagrams. These poems are not intended to be like thought, but rather to stimulate it. |

[sup]Gwangju Republic Declared - Protesters Occupy City Hall[/sup][/list]
| [sub]The protesters numbered in the thousands, the city had effectively ground to a halt. The protest had reached its second day as the City Hall and town square was occupied and barricaded by the protesters. Despite the ever present threat of a Japanese crackdown, they plowed onwards in desperate hope that something might change.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Japanese workers from the City Hall and the surrounding buildings had either been let free, or were being used as a bargaining tool against the Imperial Forces. At the helm of the protest was Jang Jae-seong, a prominent youth activist, he had become the de facto leader of the original student independence movement in its beginning stages. Now working alongside Partisans from the Korean Liberation Army he intended on expanding the occupied zone of the city.[/sub] |[list]
[sub]Jang Jae-seong: We gather here in this city to declare our right to freedom from oppression; and the right to self-determination. What started as a small protest to protect students from harassment has become a movement crying out for our freedom. That is why here and now I declare the Free Republic of Gwangju! We will rebuild Korea free from Japanese influence and oppression![/sub][/list]
| [sub]Cheers would go up as he declared the city centre of Gwangju an independent nation, although it resembled a commune akin to those from the June Rebellion of 1832 in France.

[list]CAIRO, KINGDOM OF EGYPT
[list] YOUNG EGYPT PARTY SUPPORT GROWS AS THE EFFECTS OF AMERICAN STOCK MARKET CRASH ARE FELT [I]![/list][/list][/list]
| [sub]Egypt has experienced a drastic fall in both foreign investment and tourism revenues, followed by a 60% drop in foreign exchange reserves, a 3% drop in growth, and a rapid devaluation of the Egyptian pound. All this has led to mushrooming food prices, ballooning unemployment and a shortage of fuel and cooking gas causing Egypt's worst crisis in its current state of existence so far for the government. For most Egyptians, rising food prices are the most critical problem. Some goods have doubled in price since last autumn catastrophic for the quarter of families that already spend 50% of their income on food. Egyptian families cannot afford to feed them what they need. Six months ago an average Egyptian family spent half their salary on food. Now it it is closer to four-fifths not because the average Egyptian is earning less, although that soon too may be a pressing concern, but because rising food prices show no sign of slowing down. [/sub] |
| [sub]Most problematically, the value of the Egyptian pound has fallen by 20% against the already rapidly devaluing dollar (against Gold) since November. The pound's value has this year fallen further and faster. In turn, it has become much more expensive to import foreign goods catastrophic for a country that buys in 60% of its wheat, and whose farmers also often rely on imported fertiliser, fuel and animal feed.[/sub] |
| [sub]This has led to the Young Egypt Party exploiting the desperate economic situation through promises of a new solution, an Egypt First nationalist sentiment combined with a public work scheme to employ thousands of Egyptians and the turn to a corporatist economic system. Many Egyptians are desperate for some positive change within the country, therefore naturally support has grown particularly amongst the working class. However, many Egyptians do not agree with the imperialist message they support with the creation of an Egyptian Empire encompassing both Egypt and Sudan. Under their leadership Egypt would be the leader of the Islamic world, with their empire allying with other Arab states against the European, capitalist, colonialists. The main colonialist nation they hold resentment to is Britain, with Italy being held in a more respected light given the ideological similarities between Hussein and Mussolini as well as the usefulness of a powerful ally neighbouring Egypt ensuring the continuity of the potential Empire.

[sub]The Great Depression[/sub][/list]
VARIOUS LOCATIONS, VARIOUS AREAS, Canovia DAY
[sub]As the Clock Tower (Big Ben) struck midnight, the chimes of the bell signifies the United Kingdoms entry into the 1930s. Although entering a new and uncertain decade the cheerful atmosphere could not be felt as the Great Depression began to affect the British economy and the British Empire severely. As unemployment began to rise uncontrollably and the nations poorest areas facing a variety of insecurities the Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald began to feel the immense pressure of finding solutions to limit the impact of the Great Depression.[/sub]
[sub]Since the end of the Great War in 1918, the United Kingdom was often described to be in its own Great Depression as the British economy never fully recovered from the worlds most deadliest war. Along with maintaining Britains global influences in the colonies, Dominions and spheres, it put a massive strain on Britains ability to properly develop the colonies around the world.[/sub]
[sub]Although the mighty British Empire remained unity in its goal for peace, harmony and prosperity the rise of new and controversial ideologies such as fascism and communism began to fuel nationalist and anti-British protests across the Empire, most notably within the British Raj and smaller movements in British Africa. With the added affects of the Great Depression these movements began to grow in numbers.[/sub]
[sub]Sent just a month before the beginning of the Great Depression, Ramsay MacDonald sent Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Arthur Henderson and Secretary of State for the Colonies and Dominions Sidney Webb on a worldwide tour to collect economic and social data from every nook and cranny from within the British Empire. Not completed with the tour updated reports were sent to London, telling Westminster that the Dominion of Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland were projected to be the most severely hit areas within the Empire, mostly due to the large dependence on the United States and the governments reluctance to take action on curbing the affects of the Great Depression. Still gathering data from New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific possessions and British Asia the full understanding of the affects of the Great Depression could not be known anytime soon.[/sub]
[sub]Within the United Kingdom the Labour government was largely unprepared for the Great Depression, often split on how to tackle the crisis. A rising star in the Labour Party (and former Conservative member) Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oswald Mosley would begin crafting the Mosley Memorandum to present to the cabinet: which were his own ideas on how to minimise the effects of the economic crisis.[/sub]
[sub]As many British people lost their financial security and a sense of hopeful recovery, the British Empire would begin to enter yet another dark moment in its history as the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, Dominions and colonies were beginning to struggle to make ends meet.[/sub]

[sub]February Elections[/sub][/list]
TOKYO, Philanialle AFTERNOON
| In February, General Elections were held, ten million Japanese went to the polls to vote for a new Prime Minister, in which the majority of voters were men, as Japan adopted universal male suffrage. The vast majority of Japanese men voted for Yuko Shishi Hamaguchi. During the elections, Minseitō won 101 new seats in Parliament (giving them 273 seats), a vote of confidence given by voters to any Tokyo Government in a generation. The PRIME MINISTER YAMAGUCHI, gray-haired and wearing glasses, led his campaign through the months of February on a platform on government economics; balance the budget without asking for foreign loans, foreign conciliation, restoration of the gold standard Shishi was really pleased with the results of the 30 Elections. Those who were even more pleased with the outcome of the elections were the foreign observers at the London Naval Conference. As Minseito had strengthened in power after the fall of the previous Tanaka Administration on June 29, the naval delegates could make concessions on their stubborn requests, they would no longer need to worry about public dissatisfaction. |

MINISTRY OF THE NAVY: RULE, FRANCIA! FRANCIA RULE THE WAVES!
[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, MARCH 1930 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF THE SEA, TROISIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE - | The French Ministry of the Navy has outlined the French naval programme of 1930 with the ordering of several new warships. Whilst citing the need to continue their post Great War modernizations and maintain a solid grip on colonial shipping routes, the Navy has plans to build at least 34 new vessels between now and 1936. That number is set to rise however, with additional ships being added to the programme. [/sub]
[sub]Plans include the construction of two new Joffree-class aircraft carriers, two Dunkerque-class battleships, four Algérie-class cruisers, eight Vauquelin-class destroyers, eight Le Fantasque-class destroyers, and ten Redoutable-class submarines. The Le Fantasque-class ships are designed to counter the fast Italian Condottieri-class light cruisers and expected to exceeded a speed of 45 knots. The crew of the Le Fantasque class shall consist of 11 officers and 221 crewmen in peacetime and the number of the latter increasing to 254 in wartime.[/sub]
[sub]Like their predecessors, the contre-torpilleurs of the Vauquelin class are designed as fleet scouts, intended to fight their way through the enemy's screen. The design is virtually identical to the preceding Aigle-class destroyers, although the stern has been reshaped to improve mine laying and the torpedo armament has also been revised. The crew of the Vauquelin class consist of 10 officers and 201 crewmen in peacetime and 12 officers and 220 enlisted men in wartime.[/sub]
[sub]The Algérie-class cruisers are designed and built in response to the Italian's Zara class of 8-inch gun cruisers, and are was a totally new design and not based on any previous ships. The armoured caisson system used in Foch and Dupleix have been abandoned in favour of a full armoured belt enclosing both the magazines and machinery spaces. The Algérie-class will also abandon the unit propulsion system used previously and group the boilers forward leading to the reduction to a single funnel. It will also be one of the first class of vessels to utilize super heating boilers.[/sub]
[sub]The Dunkerque-class battleships will be armed with a battery of eight 305 mm (12 in) guns mounted in two quadruple gun turrets, both arranged forward. The ships will also be armoured to resist the 203 mm (8 in) guns of the Italian cruisers, and since the guns are to be concentrated forward, the amount of armour necessary to protect the ship's vitals allows significant savings in weight. They are being built primarily in response to the construction of the German Deutschland-class cruisers. The Dunkerque-class will have a crew of 81 officers and 1,300 sailors.[/sub]
[sub]The Joffree-class aircraft carriers have been designed to give the French Navy a fleet carrier of greater capability than the existing Béarn-class. Joffre is a design aimed at rectifying the deficiencies, but is still of limited capacity. Designated as "grand cruise submarines", the Redoutable-class submarines surfaced range is expected to be 10,000 nautical miles (19,000 km) at 10 knots (19 km/h), and 14,000 nautical miles (26,000 km) at 7 knots (13 km/h), with a submerged range of 100 nautical miles (190 km) at 5 knots (9.3 km/h). Together with the submarine cruiser Surcouf-class, the Redoutable-class submarines shall constitute the elite of the French submarine fleet.[/sub]
[sub]While the construction of these vessels is a massive public works program in itself, it will also ensure French naval supremacy in areas of the world for decades to come. | [/sub]

SPAIN LAYS OUT FUTURE PLANS FOR THE SPANISH NAVY, PLACES EMPHASIS ON SUBMARINE INTERDICTION
MARCH 1930
The Spanish Ministry of Defense and the subordinate Department of the Navy issued Navy Plan 030, which lays out the Republican government's plans for the Spanish Republican Navy in the 1930-1940 time period. Following recent developments in Greece with its civil war against the fascists and in France with its plans to drastically expand its navy, the Defense Ministry has deemed it high time that the Spanish Navy maneuver to ensure 'its shores remain protected, its overseas territories defended, and its national integrity secured'. The Naval Plan 030 lays out an ambitious plan to construct two Almirante de los Mares-class battleships by 1941, refurbish an old Espana-class battleship into an Almirante de los Mares-class warship by 1935, and produce and launch up to fifteen destroyers, eight cruisers, and seven submarines by 1938.
The increase in production of Spain's locally-produced warships have been inspired by recent international interest in Spain's nascent defense industry and particularly its aircraft industry. Crucially, the new Navy Plan 030 also lays out a directive which aims to research and construct a modernized version of the Dedalo seaplane carrier, which was originally seized by the Spanish Navy during the Great War from the Kaiser's German Empire. This accompanies plans to develop a light reconnaissance carrier-based seaplane to serve on this modified Dedalo to expand Spain's naval air warfare capabilities.
Although not directly stipulated in the Navy Plan 030, experts state that to achieve the Spanish Government's production goals as listed in the Plan, new shipyards, drydocks and other navy facilities will have to be built over the next ten years to boost production speed. The Spanish government has yet to make a commitment on this, even as election season approaches rapidly, perhaps to prevent controversies from arising and plaguing the Republican government's political campaigns so close to the next election. Prime Minister Niceto Alcala Zamora, who will be running for Prime Minister once more, has stated that 'the Government aims to commit [itself] to these projects [expanding shipbuilding facilities]'.
Perhaps even more crucially, the Navy Plan also stipulated that the Spanish Navy should 'place utmost emphasis on the use of submarines for the purposes of interdiction during times of conflict as events of the past decades have displayed the strikingly high success rate of such strategies and tactics'. The clause was leaked to the press, causing quite a commotion and embarrassing Spanish military commanders. This new navy operations mandate is responsible for the plan to produce up to seven submarines, possibly more, by 1938 domestically.

The use of political reconciliation and cultural concessions along with overwhelming military power proved too powerful for the Basmachi Rebels in the Union with defeat after defeat forcing them across the Amu Darya. The Godless Soviets would not be the only forces against the movement with Soviet Muslims also joining arms to fight the Basmachi with notably the Dungan Cavalry Regiment landing several defeats to the Basmachi forces.

The market collapse in October of 29, heralded as Black Tuesday brought to a screeching halt the accelerating engine which was the Union just over a decade after it gained momentum. As it seems, the Buenospos are over- and daCurse has returned. Foreign capital which flowed like a mighty river slowed substantially the price of Oil collapsed, tanked by demand, and reports that the Ministry of Agriculture dumped tons of coffee beans and other fruits into the Caribbean, hoping artificially boost prices, spread like wildfire across the nation. Fragile was the public state of mind - as millions looked on with skeptical eyes while Barons rose among the elites and foreigners descended like eagles to claim the spoils of the land. We were left behind- We sold everything, including our spirit out of desperation, and God took his hand from us.. citizens were quoted as saying before that fateful day in October.[/sub]
[list][pre]We were like Chirren attrak to dasweet fragrance of pâtés on dastov-.. but stead ov waiting for dinna to be served, we grabbed the hot-plate and was shocked to find our hand burned[/pre] Hanna Esperanza, Citizen[/list]
[sub]Apprehension from the Elder Councils most conservative members was enough to block a plan for nationalization of Palmeras oil industry by members of the Partida faLibertad y Hermandad (PfLH) in the National Assembly who adopted a resolution calling for a breaking-up of Palmeras big oil monopolies. Instead, through months of intense negotiations, Chancellor Shaw announced that the Government was able to secure an agreement with American oil companies who agreed to adopt a minimum wage for petrol workers. That wage, $0.40/hour represents one of the most forward thinking social policies enacted by any government in the world. With that wage, a substantial increase for Palmeran workers the great wealth that the nation was coming into, could be felt from the bottom up. A victory for Palmerans, without question, but one which has not come soon enough as the effects of the Depression upon the oil market finally reached our shores.[/sub]
[sub]Today, the question facing policy makers is not whether or not Palmeras integration with international markets will rob the people of their resources but how the state can partner with the Market to weather this unforeseen storm. The Chancellors answer? An active role for the state in the economy not through a direction of capital both fiscal and human, but through stimulation, public works, and drawing both public and private stakeholders together towards the common good of the nation.[/sub]
[sub]Prosperity of Bust, Chancellor Shaw declared before the Chamber of Deputies presenting his plan for the governments response and the next phase of Palmeras industrialization. That was the mantra Palmera was to channel to decidedly move away from austerity measures typical of economic crisis response and towards a program designed to take advantage of collapsed prices, to build and transform Palmera into the greatest nation upon the face of the South American continent. World-class infrastructure: Roads, Bridges, Rail, and even state-of-the art airports to house both regional and inter-continental flight which is undoubtedly the transport of the future. A Social Safety-net, supplementing benefits provided by businesses with government funding which seek to revitalize education and encourage innovation by providing for the basic needs of the people. A tax regime which will encourage renewed interest in investment from foreign Capital despite the depression, and a strengthening of national institutions to root out and prevent corruption to ensure a return for all of Palmeras stakeholders. These policies, and more, joined by a foreign doctrine which emphasizes pragmatism and the advancement of the Union to reinforce a sense of security that assets and Palmeran interest will be protected from would-be hegemons and bad-actors on the continent and the high seas.[/sub]
[sub]It is expected that the Elder Council will take up consideration of the Chancellors plan as soon as tomorrow to begin final consideration.[/sub]

VARIOUS LOCATIONS, VARIOUS AREAS, Swedenn DAY
[sub]As the world succumbs to the Great Depression, Sweden, the land of the Norse, is unaffected. The economy is still going stable, with no unemployment in the country due to the government creating more jobs. The Swedish people can buy food and other necessities at the usual price. Some people might wonder why Sweden isnt affected by the economic crash. Some think its because they sell the gold and treasures to make more money to keep the economy going. Others believe the Vikings are bringing back goods raided from Sweden hostile enemies. The real reason that Sweden isnt being affected is that Sweden never tied their economy to the US and its banks, thus avoiding the Depression.[/sub]
[sub]When the news about the economy crashing happened everywhere in Europe, the people weren't bothered by it and didn't believe it would affect them and their country, and By the gods, they were correct. As many people who are affected by the Great Depression are going to church to pray for their relief, the Swedish People, the majority of whom are the follower of the Ásatrú, make offerings to the gods, mainly to the Norse god Njǫrd to give him their thanks for keeping Sweden safe from the Great Depression. Seeing the nations hostile to Sweden are suffering from economic crashing, the Vikings (government sanctions raiders and a branch of the Swedish Navy) see a chance to bring glory to Odin and the gods by raiding them and stealing their goods from them. They are currently waiting for the King's decision to allow them to raid or not.[/sub]
[sub]Inside the Royal Palace, King Ragnar IX announced to the people through the radio that the gods favor Sweden once again by protecting its economy from crashing. King Ragnar IX also promised that Sweden would help the nations that are both allies and are in good relations with Sweden to get through the depression by sending them aids. As many people in Europe lost their financial security and a sense of hopeful recovery, the Swedish people and Sweden will continue to live their lives knowing that their countrys economy will be stable. They wont have to fear losing their financial security and jobs at all.[/sub]

[/list][/list]
GENÈVE
[sub]SWITZERLAND - THE HELVETIC REPUBLIC[/sub]
| A decade after the Paris Peace Conference and the founding of the League of Nations, ground would finally be broken in the Helvetic Republic. Genève was chosen to host the Palace of Nations, the administrative building of the League of Nations. An architectural competition would be held to choose a design for the new project. Of the nearly 500 entries, a team of 5 architects one Swiss, one Hungarian, one Italian, and two French would be chosen to collaborate on the final product. The design would include places to have meetings, hold discussions, and address issues in a calm and neutral atmosphere. Ambassadors to the Palace would be able to work together or independently and easily when dealing with problems of an international dimension. The plans would call for constructing the second largest building in Europe, a monumental task that would take years to complete, especially with the economic crisis setting in.
Fortunately for Switzerland, the project would provide jobs for the increasing number of unemployed citizens, and would be paid for by international funding from League of Nations members. Many economists project that it will only minimally benefit the nation in the short term, though. Already, the project has only provided 75% of the expected jobs, further diminishing faith that the economy would make a quick recovery. On a more positive note, the decision to place Genève at the center of the world's peace-keeping organization would only add to the long list of the city's contributions to world peace throughout history. It will remain an influential global city for decades more to come. |

It is because due to your people being very religious and doesnt like pagan. But if that not the cause then I can change our relations.
I mean I wouldnt say the government of Egypt particularly cares that Sweden is pagan tbh. It wouldnt have any reason to.
I wonder why Sweden is pagan in the first place in 1930...
Read my history here.

[sub]Tokyo Stock Exchange Closed[/sub][/list]
[sub]THE JAPAN TIMES & MAIL[/sub]
| At the Osaka & Kobe cotton mills owned by the Kanegafuchi Company, the companys board decided that there would be a 20% cut in workers wages due to the sharp drop in cotton prices on the international market, and with this union leaders were informed. Why is this cut so high? said one of the workers union leaders, As the company manages to pay 35% dividends, but wants to reduce workers wages by 20%, so why did the companys board of directors vote on the proposal of the President, MR. SANJI MUTO, for a bonus of 3,600,000 yen ($1,800,000)? This is extremely unfair to the workers. |
| With the union leaders questions without official answers, the companys directors were still thinking of an answer but in the meantime, 5,000 workers made the first strike in the company against the wage reduction. At around 12:00 p.m., the Tokyo Stock Exchange suspended trading. |
| If the London & New York Stock Exchanges were suspended, the entire world would be harmed. In Tokyo, this is different. The Tokyo Stock Exchange closed several times during financial crises. It is normal for the Tokyo Exchange Board to suspend trading on any day if just over 200,000 shares are sold. The Osaka Stock Exchange remained open without any sharp drop, and knowing that no U.S. stock is traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, only the Yen had a 0.6¢ drop in value in New York. |
| Despite strikes by cotton mills workers in Osaka & Kobe, one of the reasons for the stock market closing. Over the past two years, shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange have fallen by 30%. The yens return to standard gold results in the removal of the embargo on exported gold shipments, drastically depleting Japans gold reserves. With the Great Depression drastically affecting the U.S., American demand for raw silk plummeted for Japans main export industry. After the cotton strike, there could be even more labor problems, which certainly worried Japanese brokers. Even more concerned was the Cabinet of the Prime Minister Hamaguchi Yuko. A certain Tokyo correspondent reported the view of several Cabinet members that, the current situation in the stock market is being undermined by political opposition. |

[sub]The Final Frontier[/sub][/list]
Ashok Central Siam, Kingdom of Siam
[spoiler=Prelude - A House Divided]
[sub]The walls had been closing in on the Armys extended dominance over the Siamese Kingdoms, the Bangkok plot was supposed to cement their position in the political sphere as the paramount branch branch of the Siamese Armed forces, however they would quickly see their ranks threatened by the administration they were responsible for empowering. King Paribatras quiet dealings with the Navy to ensure a bloodless coup had come with less than favourable concessions that cheated the Army out of the most invaluable position within the military apparatus and debatably the third most powerful position in all of Siam, the position of Chief of Joint Operations, which had been bestowed upon Admiral Prince Vudhijaya Chalermlabh marking the first time in Siamese history that a member of the army was not appointed. Paribatras leanings had already been put into question before the coup, his 17 years of service as Admiral of the Fleet was a primary concern brought up by the Army conspirators but the Siamese Navys pitiful state planted the assumption that not only would they be of little concern during the plot but that it would be of limited priority under his administration as it had been under every previous monarch. The plot however had been leaked to the navy who confronted him and not only threatened to bring his plans to then King Chula and promised to ensure his coup ended with blood, forcing him to concede the position to them in the event of his ascension.[/sub]
[sub]As some had feared King Paribatra would go against the will of Army officials and attempt to modernize the Siamese Navy as part of his reorganization policy. Despite an exchange of verbal accusations between the two branches the Army saw the reorganization efforts as a benefit to themselves that overshadowed the benefit to the other branches, preventing them from exchanging anything more than words, the policy put the every branch under training regiments of His Majestys Armed Forces of the British Empire and most importantly made a direct link between the Army in particular and the British India Command. In the Armys opinion the Chief was only as influential as his branch, and for Chief Vudhijaya the Navy was a laughing stock compared even to the Air Force. Chief Vudhijaya was more than aware of his paper thin authority and lobbied to his brother the King for greater investment into the Navy, appealing to his expansionist mindset by claiming that any future struggle to retake the territories lost to the French during the Franco-Siamese war would require Siam to meet the superior Navy garrison in Tonkin and Cochinchina in open combat which they would most definitely lose even without reinforcement from the mainland fleet. It was no secret, not even to the public, that the Chakri Dynasty sought to undo its defeat at the hands of the Third Republic since the reign of King Chulalongkorn. Swayed by his brothers words he would allocate funds to the improvement of the Navy that would result in the purchase of vessels from the Second Spanish Republic which greatly upset the Army who accused them of colluding with communist sympathizers.[/sub]
[sub]The rhetoric between the branches was played off by the administration as just that, rhetoric, but in reality those words would quickly escalate, turning a subtle interbranch rivalry into an almost silent civil war. Drastic measures were being taken by all sides and espionage operations against each other became rampant, all of it under the nose of the populace. Spies littered Siam from the barracks to the airfields and cooperation was now a thing of the past. The Navy would independently send liaisons to Rome in order to secure relations with the ranks of the Italian Royal Navy, using this to push the monarchy to allow for cooperation between Italy and Siams shipbuilding sector, an act that set a precedent for the entire armed forces. Soon unsanctioned activities to garner support from outside powers was the modus operandi in the interbranch conflict.[/sub]
[sub]Despite the rapidly growing power of the Navy, the Army would be hesitant to consider the United Kingdom as their primary foreign backer, instead attempting to to gain support from the Republic of China by arming the Korean Liberation Army via diversion of 6,000 non-standard rifles and 10 machine guns from the Siamese Armoury in Ashoka while another shipment would be promised to representatives of Hashemite Prince 'Abd al-Ila.[/sub][/spoiler]
In Which The Sun Never Sets
[sub]Naval intelligence had already uncovered the Armys unsanctioned dealings with the KLA and were certain that the shipment of the remaining 9,000 rifles was inevitable. Navy intelligence operatives would gain photographic evidence that the Army had been paying off staff at the Ministry of War building to smuggle the weapons out of the underground armory, the Navy decided not to intervene as they did not want to actually destroy the Armys reputation, instead hoping to use their knowledge as leverage to bend the Army to their will. To seal the deal they would allow the shipment out of the port of Ashoka without resistance, but would capture the Army operatives as they exited the ship upon their return.[/sub]
[sub]Presented with clear evidence to their undermining of the current administration the Army would be forced to do the unthinkable. Commander-In-Chief Chao Phraya Bodindechanuchit would write to the Directorate of Military Intelligence in London to be transferred through the British Colonial Secretariat in the Strait Settlements, he would accuse the Monarchy to be preparing for an invasion of French Indochina and possibly an invasion of British Malaya, claiming that the recent naval buildup was to counter naval forces of the French Republic and British Empire. He would promise that the Army would surrender to a British march on the capital city. Within weeks Siamese Army Intelligence (SAI) and His Majestys Secret Intelligence Service or SIS, sometimes referred to as MI6 would coordinate to overthrow King Paribatra and stall advancements in the Siamese Navy dubbed Joint Operation Redcoat.[/sub]
God Save The King
[sub]On the early morning April 3rd 1930 before the sun could show its face, SIS and SAI operatives would sneak into the dockyards of the Sattahip District in Chonburi. The saboteurs would light fires that would engulf the existing structures of the 3 Wal-Class Support ships that had reached their fourth month of construction. The inferno would lure the Siamese Navys coastal defence detachment away from Ashoka and across the Gulf of Siam to prevent them from potentially ferrying up the Chao Phraya river to defend the administrative districts. At the same time the British 20th Burma Rifles, consisting of 4000 troops in motorized convoys would enter Siam and make their way along the AH123 and into Ashoka unopposed, the Siamese Army garrisons in Mueang Kanchanaburi and Nakhon Pathom along the way would surrender to elements of the 3rd Burma Rifle Battalion while the remaining battalions would diverge within the streets of the capital, surrounding the Grand Palace on Rattanakosin Island, Dusit Palace and the Armys infantry barracks further north. The Ashoka Army garrison would surrender to the 2nd Battalion without contest as agreed. The Kings Guard at the Grand Palace would lay witness to the Union Jack and surrendered en masse to the 1st Battalion, leaving King Paribatra helpless, hed be detained within the Kings residence without question.[/sub]
[sub]The 4th Battalion would storm Dusit Palace and remove former King Chula and his mother from their house arrest in Vimanmek Mansion. Theyd be transported to the Grand Palace and switch possession to the 1st Battalion. Brought face to face with his usurper by soldiers hoisting the British flag, Chulas confusion was more than reasonable. The officers of the 1st Battalion would give him an ultimatum, swear fealty to King George V of House Windsor and resume his reign over Siam as Viceroy in service of the British Empire or refuse and the Chakri Dynasty would be removed from power and replaced with direct martial rule from her Majestys Armed Forces. Although he had ambitions to remove the monarchy from Siams governance since his first tenure he did not wish to see it fall to military administration, therefore to ensure his dream of a democratic Siam he would swear fealty to the King in word and in writing. The Burmese rifles would then force King Paribatra to abdicate the throne, not before naming Chula as Crown Prince, reinstating Chula as King Rama VII effective immediately and bringing the dissolution of the short lived 2nd Sukhothai Kingdom. Siamese Army officials would discard the flag of the blind buddha and swear fealty to King George. [/sub]
[sub] Admiral Prince Vudhijaya, overseeing the fires in Sattahip would be contacted by the Royal Indian Navy to inform him of his countrys surrender to the forces of British Empire and threatening to descend upon his fleet the full might of the British Navy if he chose to retaliate, reminding him that Britannia still rules the waves. As for the ousted King Paribatra he would be sentenced to an extrajudicial exile to the Keeling Islands. For the time being Siam would be considered a protectorate of the British Empire until King Chula is presented to King George to take his oath in person, at which point it would be given crown status akin to the British Raj and Admiral Prince Vudhijaya would be demoted from Chief of Joint Operations, replaced by Chao Phraya Bodindechanuchit as promised by Britain.[/sub]

1930
Mass protests in Brazzaville
Following the initial construction of the Libreville-Oubangui Railway, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in Brazzaville, Libreville, and Oubangui. The protesters denounce the working conditions of the workers constructing the railway, citing the high injury rate and low wages of the workers as a cause of concern. The majority of the protests were organized by the Société Amicale des Originaires de l'A.E.F (SAOAEF). SAOAEF has organized extensive protests over the treatment of native peoples within Equatorial Africa.
The railway will connect the port city of Libreville to the city of Oubangui along the Ubangi River. The railway would provide an easy way to transport goods and materials from the coast into the interior, and vice-versa. The 700 mile long railway cuts through the central Africa jungle, swamps, and numerous rivers.
Several people associated with SAOAEF have been arrested following the protests for "disrupting the peace". Colonial troops have been deployed to suppress the protests, and 2 people have been reported as having been killed in the violence.

[sup]The Indian National Congress Formally Drafts Articles of "Hindi Self Rule," Sending Shockwaves Across The Indian Subcontentient!!?[/sup]
[sup]In a surprise move by the Indian National Congress, newly elected President of the Indian National Congress Jawaharlal Nehru, including various others like Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel returned to the Congress Working Committee. They approved a declaration of independence, which stated[/sup]
[sup]"The British government in India has not only deprived the Indian people of their freedom but has based itself on the exploitation of the masses, and has ruined India economically, politically, culturally and spiritually.... Therefore...India must sever the British connection and attain Purna Swaraj or complete independence."[/sup]
[sup]A pledge of independence was read out, which included a readiness to withhold taxes. The massive gathering of public attending the ceremony were asked if they agreed with it, and the vast majority of people were witnessed to raise their hands in approval. One hundred seventy-two Indian members of central and provincial legislatures resigned in support of the resolution and in accordance with Indian public sentiment. Gandhi and other Indian leaders later announced that they would immediately begin the planning of a massive national non-violence would encourage the common people not to attack Britishers even if they attacked them.[/sup]
[sup]The news is coming in by the hour as more and more information comes out as the Indian National Congress formal declaration of self rule has many in celebration, with mix responses with fears of political instability, drawing harsh criticism from the British Raj. Many events had lead up to the day where Indians with the backing of many within the Indian subcontinent in the latest breaking news coming from the Indian National Congress. With the most recent being in 1927, when the British government outraged people across India by appointing a seven-man, all-European committee led by Sir John Simon, called the Simon Commission to deliberate on constitutional and political reforms for India. Indian political parties were neither consulted nor asked to involve themselves in the process. Upon arrival in India, Chairman Sir John Simon and other commission members were met with angry public demonstrations, which followed them everywhere. The death of a prominent Indian leader, Lala Lajpat Rai, from severe beatings by British police officials further outraged the Indian public. The most recent attempt for Indian self reliance or home rule came in due part thanks to the publication of the "The Nehru Report of 28 August 1928." Which was a memorandum to appeal for a new dominion status and a federal set-up of government for the constitution of India. It also proposed for the Joint Electorates with reservation of seats for minorities in the legislatures. It was prepared by a committee of the All Parties Conference chaired by Motilal Nehru with his son Jawaharlal Nehru acting as a secretary. There were nine other members in this committee. The final report was signed by Motilal Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru, Ali Imam, Tej Bahadur Sapru, Madhav Shrihari Aney, Mangal Singh, Shuaib Qureshi, Subhas Chandra Bose, and G. R. Pradhan.[/sup]
[sup]In other news coming in light of the announcement from the Indian National Congress, Mohandas Gandhi is reportedly in the works of not only preparing for a potential nationwide boycott and other forms of civil disobediance, but that it has gotten the attention of the British viceroy of India, in which Gandhi has plans on contacting later this week.[/sup]

| GWANGJU, Jan. 4th After a few days that Gwangju was taken over by the so-called terrorists, the Governor-General ordered the preparation of 8,000 soldiers with another 2,000 soldiers to be sent to the city that was taken over by rebel groups, this also shows that the attitude of the young Governor-General it is precisely to punish those who go against the will of His Imperial Majesty. The Governors orders were given on January 2, 1930, but it took a few days to prepare the soldiers. Tokyo has already been informed about events in the Peninsula Keijō has been militarized and civilians have been forced to remain in their homes, all military personnel present in the capital have received direct orders to be alert to any suspicion of terrorism that occurs. So today around 4:00 p.m. the soldiers arrived in Gwangju, then they started fighting the rebels. This lasted for a few hours, after the suppression of the rebels, the remaining Japanese soldiers marched towards the city hall and occupied it again. |

The Mysterious man has been seeking out his target, Schwartz going through the adress listing at the Main Library of Budapest. Fortunitly for him their are only 3 Lawyers with the name of Schwartz in practice. He goes to the 1st on the list, a Armin Schwartz's apartment and enters through an unlocked window. He looks a round the Apartment and comes to the conclusion that this is a Bachelors Apartment, not his man. The next suspect
Is Bertalan Schwartz. And when he arrives at his residence he scopes out the inhabitants, the occupants are a
middle-aged man and a geriatric woman, he concludes that either the man is takeing care of his mother or he is some sort of Freak. Regardless he isn't the Target finally he tracks down Theodore
Schwartz who happens to have a pregnant wife. He hides in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to Kill them all at once.
Meanwhile an unrelated event takes place.
a Couple who stand out like a lone evergreen in Broad Leaf forest in November arrive in a Suburb outside of Budapest, unlike the vast majority of Travalers who a have upgraded to the Car or Ride the Train. They Pull up In a Horse Drawn covered Wagon. Their appearance is especially out of place amongst the population of Hungary, the average Hungarian has light Brown/Hazel or Blue eyes and Light To medium Brown hair. And While this couple has pitch black hair and eyes. The woman is dressed like she is form the Indian Subcontinent they catch the attention of a patrolling Policeman
Policeman(Hungarian)"can't you read ? The sign says no Gypsys allowed!"
Gypsey husband(romani)"screw you pig!
Policeman(Hungarian)"what did you just say?"
the policeman glares at the couple his hand slowly moves to his Baton
the Gypsy wife(Hungarian)"he say we are sorry and we will leave"
Gypsy Husband(Romani)"Shut up woman!" he slaps her
The policeman(Hungarian)"alright, that's enough! Get out of town before you make me angry"
Gypsy Husband(broken Hungarian)"we peddle goods and read fortunes frist ?"
Policeman(Hungarian)"I said get out of town! You are beginning to make me Angry"
The man knowing that continuing will likely end up with him being thrown in Jail and beaten drives the wagon away

[sub]In response to the transition of the interim protectorate of Siam into the Viceroyalty of Siam or informally the Siamese Empire and a looming economic crisis almost guaranteed to affect one of the poorest corners of the British Empire, a reevaluation of the governance of Britains colonial possessions in the Far East paved way for the formation of His Majestys Councillor Government of British East India, an organization tasked with overseeing the semi-autonomous administrations in Southeast Asia, ensuring that Siam is familiarized with British colonial rule and the mitigation of economic decline in all territories.[/sub]

FINNISH ECONOMIC OUTLOOK REMAINS FAVORABLE$10,000,000 LOAN TAKEN
[list][sup]TO ENLARGE, IMPROVE, AND FORTIFY
GREATER FINLANDSPRING 1930[/sup][/list]
The spring of 1930 provided an outlook on the Finnish economic future that was so optimistic it managed to surprise even the economists that had already declared Finland to be on an upward path in the face of the Depression. By February, American investors led by timber baron Edward Wellington Backus had broken ground on an immense drywall factory in the vital railway junction of Pieksämäki as planned. The plant will have an estimated annual output of 36,000 tons and operate through a Finnish affiliate companythe Insulite Company of Finlandin partnership with the native Finnish Ahlstrom company, which works with the largest paper production machine in Europe at its nearby Varkaus plant (to which a rail link directly from Pieksämäki is now being considered). In March, Finnish telephone companies joined lines with the Bell System to connect Helsinki to all telephone points in the United States and Cuba and the principal points of Canada and Mexico. Later that month, Helsinki took out a $10,000,000 loan from an American banking group headed by Brown Brothers & Co. and the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation of New York. Municipal authorities will use the loan to pay off the city's entire floating debt, expand the city's port, finance industrial ventures and improve local infrastructure. Helsinki is, famously, a financially innovative cityfor the last seven years, the city's revenues have exceeded its expenditures, and its government-led investments have been self-rewarding. One New York Times correspondent put it like this in mid-March:
[list][sup]"Total funded debt of the city amounts to the equivalent of $20,733,000, or about one-third of the estimated value of city-owned property. The major portion of the debt was created for the development of revenue-producing assets, such as electric power plants, gas works, harbor improvements and waterworks, all municipally owned. Net income from these utility properties in 1929 amounted to more than twice the annual interest charges on the total funded debt."[/sup][/list]
Work continued through the month. By the end of March, Finland's first golf course had opened using indigenous grasses, given that most traditional foreign golfing grasses cannot consistently grow in Finland. In April, Greater Finland was appointed a spirited new American ambassador, Edward E. Brodie, an editor and publisher who served as Minister to Siam from 1921 to 1925. He is to arrive in Finland in mid-May and help in facilitating economic cooperation.
[list][sup]"The new Finnish Republic is a stable modern country, which is developing very rapidly," Brodie declared to the American press in April. "Economically," he continued, "it is on a very sound basis. The value of its foreign investments is among the highest in Europe. Last year Finland exported goods worth $10,000,000 to the United States."[/sup][/list]
The future seems optimistic, too. In June, the first domestically-built submarine will launchthe Vetehinen, the first of a new class built at Crichton-Vulcan, will be launched on 1 June, and foreign officials have been cordially invited. In mid-July, a national music festival will hopefully include performances from all over Finland, Scandinavia, the Soviet Union, and the Baltic states. An international sculpture exhibit in Helsinki is meant to highlight the artistic triumphs of Wäinö Aaltonen, and the feats of Finnish design will culminate in the inauguration of a grand new parliament building in early 1931. The pace of Finnish ventures is hardly slowing down, toomonetary authorities hope that the 1930s will see an acceleration that will cause the 1920s to pale in comparison.

The Rise of a New Face
The economic crisis was a great evil that plagued the economy and the Yugoslav population, however this situation became a fertile field for the rise of several popular groups, especially those facing the political spectrum of the left. The main face representing this movement was that of a Croatian named Tito. Tito and some members of leftist groups found in the crisis a way to help the people and also win their sympathy, through various actions they promoted and the recovery of companies that went bankrupt during the crisis through the creation of cooperatives and policies of self-management.
The success of these self-managed cooperatives began to spread throughout Yugoslavia, the measure itself, despite being promoted by "socialist" groups, did not suffer any kind of resistance from the government, as it saw in these cooperatives a cheap form of recover the economy, as it did not have the financial conditions to directly combat the crisis.
The rise in popularity of Tito and the "Left" in Yugoslavia was adding yet another interest group in the country's already complicated power struggle, King Alexander's continuing fall in popularity, Prince Paul and Tito's populism as well as the growing military influence made the "game of thrones" in Yugoslavia more and more complex.

FOR WHOM THE BELLS OF REVOLUTION TOLLS PART THREE: PRINCE AL-ILAH'S COUP; KING ALI BIN HUSSEIN EXECUTED OUTSIDE GRAND MOSQUE OF MECCA; AL-ILAH BECOMES KING

[sub]King Ali bin Hussein, King of Hejaz & Sharif of Mecca | MECCA, 1930[/sub][/list]
[sub]| MAMLAKAT ALHASHIMIIYN - مملكة الهاشميين |[/sub]
Complete disappointment and disgust has been the general populace's reaction to the reign of King Ali bin Hussein, who has fallen into deep paranoia and seclusion. Refusing to appear to the public and placing a halt onto much needed policies to address unemployment and growing poverty, the already struggling economy of the Hashemites started to begin biting at the capabilities of tribal elders and local shura councils to keep law and order. The clear signs of social unrest and violent protests turned riots were looming as Prince 'Abd al-Ilah, now fully supported by the Hashemite Family, observed the deterioration of the new civil society of the Hashemite Jamahiriyah. While walking around the Mecca Grand Bazaar, Prince 'Abd al-Ilah would be accompanied by an appearing forming pro-Ilah militia wearing tan and brown shirts. Walking in synchronous fashion, this group would refer to themselves as The Arab Popular Guard (الحرس الشعبي العربي), the militia would march with great tenacity as their stomps echoed through the bazaar.
Causing some commotion to gain attention, the APG began to make their way to the front gates of the Hashemite's private district. As bystanders watched, the merchants would applause and deliver the Hashimic Salute as a sign of approval to go drag King Ali bin Hussein from his palace and to be held accountable to his negligence of rule and leadership. As the militia proceeds past the Grand Mosque of Mecca, clashes with the King's Royal Guard would commence with clubs, pipes, and the occasional machete and scimitar sword; marking the beginning of a bloody occasion. Watching from the 2nd floor of a merchant's home, Prince 'Abd al-Ilah and Commander of the Arab Popular Guard Prince Zeid bin Hussein felt that their initial distraction was becoming a success as another group from the APG sought to engage from the right flank to overcome the front gates to the palace. Loud shouting of "Down with Ali" and "Glory be al-Ilah". The growing crowd of APG militants further maximized the security dilemma for Ali loyalists as the Royal Guard would start to gradually retreat to the palace while the occasional defector would flee or surrender to the Arab Popular Guard.
As the APG gradually moved forward and leaving behind them injured people and sporadically dead, bloody corpses from both APG and Royal Guard forces, Prince 'Abd al-Ilah would continue his propaganda shouting in the Grand Bazaar to instigate more Arabs to take up the mantle of his revolution by declaring the unnecessary spilling of blood is on the hands of King Ali and not the collective strength of the Arab people. After 25 minutes, another wave of APG personnel would arrive on foot while 12 people arrived on horseback to trample over the frontlines of Royal Guard personnel. Through mimicking a cavalry charge, the 12 horse riders would break through the frontlines, causing a panic and retreat of the Royal Guards into the palace as the APG charged behind with their weapons in hand to the palace. As the APG ran to the palace, another group of 50 APG militants would arrive with swords, rocks, knives, pipes, and other handheld weapons. With this group of 50, Prince 'Abd al-Ilah would be present as he would be yelling for King Ali to surrender to the people of the Jamahiriyah to avoid further bloodshed. Watching the violence unfold from the window in the main living room, King Ali watched as his son's forces began to enter the courtyard yelling for the head of King Ali. With banging on the doors as the loud echoes bounce around the silent and hollow palace.
In the distance, Al-Ilah's voice can be heard as King Ali began to take a deep breath while a tear formed knowing that the growing turmoil right outside his door was from his own actions. The sounds of footsteps scurrying around on the first floor while windows being broken in, the slow steps of al-Ilah entering the palace in a motion of peace while chaos and death occurred. Entering the palace with Abdullah I, Faisal I, and Zeid bin Hussein, 'Abd al-Ilah would demand for his fellow APG militants to establish a perimeter around the palace as Abd al-Ilah walks to the main living room on the 2nd floor to meet with his father one to one. As al-Ilah ascended the stairs, the APG would light a bonfire outside as a sign to the people of Mecca that times were changing and a coup is commencing. Arriving on the second floor, al-Ilah would slowly walk down the hallway. With his hands behind his back and dressed in his military regalia, al-Ilah appeared very calm and confident as the light reflected off his military awards from the Arab Revolt and fighting against the Sauds.
Arriving at the end of the hallway, al-Ilah would open the door slowly as the creaking of the door caused King Ali to turn around and lock eyes with his son...

[pre]--- Economic Summary To 1930 ---[/pre]
[pre]| As one of the most stable democracies in central Europe following WWI, Czechoslovakia recovered from the war at a much better rate than most of their neighbors. Over the course of the 1920s, its gross national product (GNP) grew on average by 3% per year, nearly doubling its 1913 GNP by 1929. Much of the decade was characterized by a construction boom encouraged by a number of government economic policies. Additionally, there was also a comparative lack of involvement by Czechoslovak banks in international business. As such, Czechoslovakia's banks were spared the brunt of the early Depression's credit difficulties when compared to its neighbors in 1930. |[/pre]
[pre]| When combined, these factors allowed for a small amount of economic momentum to carry over from 1929 into 1930. However, Czechoslovakia's heavy reliance on foreign trade with its Central and Eastern European neighbors meant that the Depression's toll on those countries directly affected Czechoslovakia. This trade imbalance threatened to severely handicap the nation's industrial output as foreign demand for Czechoslovak goods dropped and trade barriers were raised by its protectionist neighbors. |[/pre]
[pre]| The government, headed by fiscal conservatives, was unsurprisingly cautious in its approach at first. Like its neighbors, it also began to introduce trade restrictions on specific commodities (agricultural products being an exception), but those would not begin to make their effects known until at least 1932. Such tarriffs usually applied to
light industrial goods like leather goods, as well as stone, glass and clay products. Local government expenditures were also expanded in order to ensure the stability of economic and social relief programs, coming in at just over 20% of the government expeditures for that year. |[/pre]
[pre] | Another factor that could have compounded these problems were economic imbalances between the metropolitan and industrialized west (Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia) and the less developed east (Slovakia and Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia), where the per capita income was roughly 33% lower. Here, the lingering impact of the differences between Austrian and Hungarian economic policy during the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire reared its ugly head. Slovakia and Ruthenia remained less developed under Hungarian rule, so they unfortunately lagged behind the rest of the country in industry. Such economic differences natually meant that the Depression would impact these areas differently. Though what those impacts were had yet to be seen. |[/pre]
[pre]| Ultimately then, the onset of the Depression did not bring immediate economic collapse to Czechoslovakia in 1930. However, the economic uncertainty that pervaded Central Europe meant that the worst effects of the Depression probably lay ahead. |[/pre]

GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR NEGOTIATIONS ON REPARATIONS
BERLIN - Karl Berstein, Foreign Minister, sent yesterday a telegram to the Governments of Paramountica, Metropolitan Francais, Canovia, Ranponian, Philanialle for a renegociation of the Versailles Treaty specifically article 231. In it, the Minister pleaded the nations to either cancel or allow for a delay in payment in cash and goods. The telegram goes on length about the current poverty increasing in Germany and the difficulty for the people to accept these demands. The proposal has been sent for a meeting in Antwerp in June 1930.
PUBLIC SERVICES ARE REDUCING SERVICES - GERMAN EXTREME POLITICS SLOWLY RISING
DUSSELDORF - At the National Assistance and Hospital Center of Dusseldorf, the Director General of the Hospital is in disarray. He shows the balance sheet. "The deficit is over the roof. I cannot pay my doctors anymore." Indeed, more than 12 doctors have been dismissed due to budget cuts. (...) This trend continues also in education. Teachers are now assuming bigger classes which puts a strain on education quality.
INTERIOR MINISTER FRACK OF A LANDER, NEWLY ELECTED FROM THE HEIDLER PARTY, DAP, PROPOSES A BILL AGAINST "NEGRO CULTURE"
As soon as elected, as quickly did Frick propose a new bill for the Lander Thüringer in which he proposed a legislation against "negro" culture. The motivations of Frick have been clear. "We need to fight against foreign culture in German culture. Clearly negro culture is not compatible with our values, our identity". The bill proposes to ban the commerce of music categorised as "negerkultur", the publication of books by black authors, including editors.
Yet, it is unlikely that such proposal would receive a successful outcome due to the difficulty for the DAP to maintain a strong majority of voices locally. Nonetheless, many commentators, and especially the communist party, comment that this Gesetz Einwurf (law proposal) is a taste of what Adolf Heidler would do in power. The SDP (Social Democrats) have strongly criticised the proposal as a "piece of absolutely disgusting racism in which fascism is written all over".

[list][list][pre]WORLD-CLASS CAPABILITY FOR FOURTH-RATE NAVY: ASSEMBLY SETS INTO MOTION BUILDING PROGRAM FOR NAVY;[/pre][/list][/list]
[list][sub]| MIRANDA Adorned in their finest uniforms, members of Palmeras National Defense Staff were seen departing the chambers of the Elder Council as word quickly spread of their approval of the National Defense Act 1930. Already celebrated as a major step towards Palmeras development as a serious regional power, the NDA set aside funding for and directed construction of a number of military installations across the nation - especially AirFields and Naval Stations. From those outposts, planners behind the act called for the development of a defense apparatus that would secure the skies of Palmera against foreign aggression as well as setting up early warning posts to streamline any mobilization of the armed forces. Most notable within the NDA, though, was the initiation of a concerted effort to both modernize and expand the Palmeran Navy.[/sub]
[sub]For this effort, the Chancellory announced that the Council authorized the establishment of a national Advanced Design Institute whose mission it would be to generate innovative munitions and equipment to be produced by the fledgling Palmeran arms industry. With the assistance of a conglomerate of international partners, specifically France, Italy, Japan, and Finland - the ADI would, through investment into private ventures, and direct projects of its own; develop the capability of producing cutting edge technology which would position the Union as a leading producer of military equipment globally. Be it the donation of heavy industrial equipment, as was received from Italy, or brain power in the form of engineers and experts, from France, to agreements which would see the establishment of factories in Palmera from Finnish arms companies; or even the acquisition of arms licences from Japan - the ADI would immediately begin its work, providing hundreds of jobs to recently unemployed citizens.[/sub]
[sub]For the Navy, the NDA called for the construction of a class of ten (10) first-rate heavy cruisers of the Constellation-class, (or the Orione-class) and to begin the development of a class of light anti-air cruisers, of which there will be at-least eight (6), large Destroyers, of which there will be at-least thirty (30), and long-range Submarines of which there will be ten (10).[/sub]
[sub]The core of this new naval program, the Constellations, are to be the effective capital ships of the new Palmeran Navy. Ships which carry the fighting power of an early dreadnought battleship, with the armor and speed of a heavy cruiser. Compiled, the ships would be conventionally classified as Armored Cruisers, but by convention, will fall into the heavy cruiser category on the higher end of the tier. The ships draw inspiration from allied vessels such as the Japanese Aoba, French Algerie, and Italian Zara - while being respondents to regional contenders such as the American Portland-class and Brazilian Tocantins class cruisers.[/sub]
[sub]Of note, the NDA did not set aside funding for the development of Battleships nor dedicated Aircraft Carriers. This, a reality of the Palmeran Naval Doctrine as it stands, does not call for the acquisition of such vessels given the number of islands and vast coastline of Palmera which make both types moot for defensive purposes. Likewise, for missions abroad, it is conceived that an emphasis on fast heavy-hitting cruisers, coupled with a large submarine fleet could neuter any would-be foe on the high seas and in the littoral waters around most nations coasts. An Under Sea blockade, as revealed during the first World War would be just as effective strategically as a surface-based blockade, but at a fraction of the cost. Even still, the option for design studies remains on the table in the future.[/sub]
[sub]In all, with the provisions outlined under this act, the Union will join an increasing number of nations around the world who have begun the process of rearming in the wake of recent events in the Mediterranean which proved the inability of the League of Nations to mediate the conflict without bloodshed.[/sub]

[sub]King Paribatra Sukhumbandhu and Admiral Prince Vudhijaya Chalermlabh would be charged with violation of Article I and II of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, specifically accused of conspiracy to wage a war of aggression to expand the legal border of Siam westward beyond its current boundary in direct violation of the Franco-Siamese Treaty of 1904-1907. King Paribatra would be confined to the Keeling Islands and Prince Vudhijaya would be confined to Christmas island.[/sub]
[sub]The Siamese Navys funding would be cut significantly and the funds reallocated towards multiple projects pertaining to infrastructure, economic stability and the air force. As a result the demand for larger vessels from the MariThai company for the Siamese fleet would be rendered non-existent, forcing the company to shelve over a dozen plans for future production and re-evaluate their current/near future plans. Additionally with the incorporation of the Siamese Navy as a branch of the British Naval Service, MariThai would now be subject to a British approval board, allowing London to have tangible input into the amount, dimensions and even the production of vessels in general.[/sub]
[sub]Former regent Prajadhipok, who had previously been exiled to Brazil under Paribatras reign would have his exile undone, allowing him to return to Siam as a legal British subject. He would return to his homeland and use his frequent visits to British aristocracy during his leave to secure the position of High Commissioner for British East India, the most important ambassadorial role between the territory and the mother country.

[sup]The Gwangju Aftermath - A City Extinguished[/sup][/list]
| [sub]The flicker of hope that was offered by the Gwangju Rebellion had been extinguished well and truly. As the Japanese Imperial Forces marched into the city, charging the barricades, important figures quietly slipped away in an attempt to make it to Manchuria. Partisans and civilians alike engaged with the Imperial Forces using what little armaments they had, as well as throwing anything that could be lifted.[/sub] |
| [sub]By the end of the day nearly one-thousand were injured in what was now called the Battle of Gwangju Bridge, and hundreds were dead. On the Japanese side only several dozen had been injured and a handful were killed, the city centre itself had been completely trashed by the protests and the ensuing battle.[/sub] |
| [sub]The hope and dreams of Korea had been bruised, but the cry for freedom was far from silenced. Spontaneous uprisings, albeit largely ending in failure, were a source of power for the independence movement. It proved that the Korean nation wasnt dead, it existed in the hearts of its people, and when harnessed it could produce a strength that would outnumber the Japanese occupation force.[/sub] |
| [sub]In Shanghai the reaction to the Gwangju Uprising was rather calm. They would be foolish to even think that it could go anywhere. The uprising was almost a bench-test for them. How far would the new Governor-General be willing to go, and the answer for them was quite simple, hed willing set troops on his own people. To them he was a true blood-traitor; their new scapegoat.[/sub] |
