I hate democracy
Islahh, Bystonia, Annyeong Korea
ok
Oh
Why should I give my citizens democracy, when I know what's best for them? When I know that I can trust myself to give them freedom and safety, but who else? Especially considering that democracy inherently screws over the minority.
Look how happy, safe, healthy, cheerful, and so on, my people are. If the masses were to make their own choices regarding our nation's society, based solely on the quantity of people that desire something, I doubt they would have made all of the choices to lead them to such a happy, advanced, inclusive civilization.
Or is it somehow more free to allow even at times 51% of the citizens to determine the fate of 100%? Or even less than 51%, if a vote is split more than two ways, or if not everyone votes. Democracy is inherently flawed, and people are gravely mistaken when they act as if it is synonymous with freedom.

You literally have an autocracy. If I'm going to die, I'd rather it be by my citizens than my leader's (or this case, my own) hands.
Well, as you can see, not many are dying from anything other than old age, and that is after a longer, healthier life than most of the world. At least I try to make decisions that benefit as close to 100% of the people as I can. That is rarely the case when majority rules. You'd rather have some fraction of the population decide your fate for you? I think it really depends on the leader.

President Dae-Jung Yoon's Official Statement on the Ukraine Conflict
[spoiler= COMMONWEALTH OF LIBERTY
[sub]Detailed, Creative, Storytelling[/sub]]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great concern from myself, Minister Tanner Marek (Our Ambassador to Poland), and most of all, the people of the Disputed Territories of Junobal. I must condemn the actions of Vladimir Putin, and I hereby declare a ban in sale of weapons, military vehicles, and the raw materials that can be used to produce said goods to the Russia, anyone caught in violation of this ban will be arrested and tried for smuggling. In addition to this, out of concern for spying, we shall instate a total flight ban between Junobal and Russia. No Russian planes in Juno Airspace, and no Juno planes in Russian Airspace. All violators will be shot down, and dealt with appropriately. The sanctions on the Russian Federation will be lifted as soon as Putin or his successors accept Ukrainian sovereignty and act accordingly. On the other hand, out of respect for national sovereignty for all nations everywhere, we will not get militarily involved against Putin unless his ability to govern his country as he chooses overlaps our own, that being said, we will begin war and humanitarian aid shipment to Ukraine and the Republic of China (Taiwan (is a country)), in their fight against the respective world powers seeking to crunch them. We fear that no matter how much we do as a government, it may not be enough due to the bureaucracy involved in the process, so I highly encourage citizens to look up charities that are actively helping Ukraine and Taiwan (the legitimate China), as they are generally more effective and ethical than government; however, I cannot encourage this without also warning you to watch out for scammers, and encouraging you all to check into the legitimacy of the people you're donating to. If you're donating through the internet, don't just click the first link that pops up on your browser, as these can be advertisements to the scams. Anyone caught scamming and/or defrauding their benefactors to Ukraine or Taiwan (is the real China) will have their citizenship revoked, and will be sent to bootcamps to be taught to speak Ukrainian and fight in the military, so they can fight on the front lines in the Ukraine Conflict for Ukraine. Minister Marek is part Ukrainian, his people are my people. If you wish to mess with my people, you will have to get through me first. I will happily address any comments or concerns anyone has, so don't be afraid to respond to me.

[pre]August, 1935 | Khartoum, The British Imperial Crown Colony Of The Sudan[/pre]
THE POLITICAL STORM
Two months ago, the British Legislative Administration of Colonial Sudan, commonly known as the BLACS, announced and set forth a date for the establishment of the first Sudanese Parliament, where the people of Sudan would get to experience the democratic system for the first time in their history. In response to the announcement, a great national mobilization has been made for the creation of political parties, voting groups, institutions, and structures, as they compete for the admiration and support of the people.
In the race for influence, it is here that Sudan is introduced to three main factions. The White League, along with various different pro-Egyptian, pro-Arab, and pro-union factions, would convene in the city of Atbara in the Upper Nile Province, north of Khartoum, to combine resources for the establishment of the National Unionist Party (NUP). The party would be headed by a young 35-year-old, Ismail Al-Azheri. A local teacher for a number of primary schools in Atbarah, after which he would go on to study for a higher degree at the American University of Beirut, in French Lebanon. Azheri had recently returned from his studies abroad, where he had become a very prominent voice in the city of Atbarah and northern Sudan for unity, the creation of a Sudo-Egyptian Union, and the re-strengthening of the Nile Valley. Upon the establishment of the NUP, the party would label and align itself according to the ideologies of secularism, centrism, liberal conservatism, Pan-Arabism, and Sudanese reunification with Egypt.
A likely opponent of the NUP, the Confluence Nationlists group, spearheaded by the now 27-year old college graduate Muhammad Ahmad Mahgoub, had convened in the south-eastern city of Sennar, the former capitol of the Sudanese sultanate, where they would announce the establishment of their own political party. It was attended by workers, farmers, and laborers, as well as other black and African nationalists from the south. Following the convention, Mahgoub would announce the establishment of the Nationlist Confluence Workers Party (NCWP). The new partys choice of maintaining the Confluence identity was a show of force for Sudanese nationalists to rally around the Confluence symbol, a symbol of two rivers joining into one, a symbol that Mahgoub calls a representation of two peoples, the Africans and Arabs, joining to create the Sudanese state. The NCWP has prided itself on the main ideologies of secularism, Sudanese Nationalism, right-wing populism, anti-colonialism, Sudanization, Sudanese Independence, and anti-Arab Unionism.
While Sudan has become visibly contested between Unionists and Nationalists, it seems that both ideologies have opted to favor secularism, and for good reason, as both sides seem to have ambitions of maintaining security and stability amongst the various different tribes, ethnicities, languages, religions, and even races that reside within their borders. Though both sides disagree drastically on the path the Sudanese must take, they both agree that they view everyone within the borders of the colony as equal, regardless of that person's identity.
However, this is not the case for Umma. A faction of Mahi War veterans, religious figures, and more politicized Muslim followers have formed the Mahdi Unma Party (MUP) in El-Obied, Kordofan, west of Sudan. The new party, which has had roots in Sudan since the Mahdi Revolt of the 1890s, is headed by none other than the successor and son of the Mahdi of Sudan, the 50-year old Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi, leader of the Ansar, a movement in Sudan devoted to the previous Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmed. Al-Rahman, being the eldest of the two candidates running for Sudans power, has also had more influence in Sudan considering his history. Al-Rahman was only 14 years old when the Mahdiya was defeated by his father's death and the British occupation of Sudan had begun. And, ever since, the Ansar's influence over Sudan has been valuable to the British, who have used him to maintain control over the colony. The Mahdis influence would begin to dwindle in 1925 with the Khartoum revolt, as a series of events would transpire from there that would give Sudan a tremendous boost towards industrialization and integration. As the colony moved further away from religious control and with no signs of stopping given the two parties promising secularism, Al-Rahman felt that he needed to step in. With the creation of the MUP, he and his supporters have followed the ideologies of Neo-Mahdism, Sudanese Nationalism, Islamism, and an interesting concept of Islamic Democracy.
as the NUP campaign in the Arab and Nubian centers of the North and East, while the Nationalists campaign in the Center and south of the colony, the Mahdi had been left to campaign in Darfur and Kordofan, the heartlands of the Islamic African world, the Quran region, known for a people so well read and well knowledges of the holy Islamic scripture. Lines are being drawn in Sudan; lines that are being drawn in the spirit of democracy.

COLONIES UNITED IN ARMS
August 1935
With the Rhodesian acquirement of Arms from France and Italy, the Sudanese Colonial Government reached out to their Rhodesian counterparts about the potential acquisition of now outdated British assets. Rhodesia had already planned to either sell or scrap the older pieces of equipment which would not be able to keep up with the more modern equipment it had acquired, and thus the request was enthusiastically accepted as a sign of colonial cooperation and spirit of brothers in arms. Total cost of the transfer is to be offset by the exportation of Sudanese goods mainly in the Agricultural sector, which shall then be used to feed Rhodesian Food processing & Canning plants. It marks the first military deal between the two Nations, and stands as an opening to a longer term colonial cooperation between the two Governments.
[list]Equipment being transferred by December :
28x - Rolls-Royce Armored Cars
12x - Carden Loyd Tankettes
6x - Vickers Mark IIA Medium Tanks
1x - Vickers Victoria Transport Aircraft
6x - Fairchild 24 Transport Aircraft[/list]
Along with this rather small scale transfer, Rhodesia has agreed to dispatch 20 of its Maintenance Staff on a two year deployment to Sudan in order to train localized personnel in the operation and repair of these vehicles so that they may serve on a longer term basis. A great benefit to the Rhodesian Federation is that due to its status as a self governing Colony, something not many of its counterparts possess, it is able to maintain its own armed forces and independently increase its size as a result of its own approval. This means that it too can serve as a smaller scale Arsenal for its Colonial brethren.

[list][list][sub]UNTERZEICHNUNG DES DEUTSCH-BRITISCHEN FLOTTENABKOMMENS IN LONDON, DAS EIN TONNAGEVERHÄLTNIS VON 30:100 ZWISCHEN DER KRIEGSMARINE UND DER ROYAL NAVY FESTLEGT[/sub]
[pre]ANGLO-GERMAN NAVAL AGREEMENT SIGNED IN LONDON, ESTABLISHING A 30:100 TONNAGE RATIO BETWEEN THE KRIEGSMARINE AND THE ROYAL NAVY[/pre][/list][/list]
| According to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, Germany is prohibited to possess a proper naval force. The clause had greatly angered Germans, both civilians and military leaders alike, who saw the clause as an attempt by the Allies to weaken Germany to such a level they would forever be incapable of fighting in an armed conflict ever again. Then again, many agreed that this was indeed the point. However, in the middle of the Great Depression, with Great Britain and France and the United States distracted by other matters such as general strikes and impending economic doom, Germany began re-developing its Navy under the cover of secrecy. Later using MEFO bills to cover the expenses and prevent a paper trail of money from being left, the Kriegsmarine's rise was kept secret until spring 1935 when its existence was recognized by the Staat. Of German naval rearmament, the Chief of the Navy General Staff remarked in July 1935: |
[list][list][pre]Die Weltlage hat sich in der Tat geändert. Es ist für Deutschland unmöglich geworden, so weiterzumachen wie bisher, ein Land ohne Hochseeflotte. Der Versailler Vertrag und die Alliierten zwingen uns weiterhin, ohne Rücksicht auf die Umstände, in die Knie. Die Dinge sind heute ganz anders als im Juni 1919. Damals herrschte der Optimismus, dass die Welt in einen ewigen Frieden eintreten würde und daher keine Flotten und Armeen benötigt würden. Jetzt stehen wir vielleicht am Abgrund eines weiteren europäischen Konflikts. Der Staatskanzler [Heidler] hatte recht, als er begann, die Marine ernsthaft auszubauen, und zwar in höherem Maße, als es der Präsident [Hindenburg] je getan hätte. Es ist notwendig. Germania kann ohne seine Marine in dieser veränderten Welt nicht überleben.[/pre]
[pre]The worldly situation has indeed changed. It is now impossible for Germany to continue onwards as it is, a country without a high seas fleet. The Versailles Treaty and the Allies continue to force us down regardless of the circumstances. Things are now very different from June 1919. Then, there was optimism that the world would enter everlasting peace, and thus navies and armies would not be needed. Now, we may be standing on the precipice of yet another European conflict. The Staatskanzler [Heidler] was right to begin developing the Navy in earnest, at higher rates than the President [Hindenburg] would ever had done. It is necessary. Germania cannot survive without its Navy in this changed world.[/pre][/list][/list]
| In particular, the British were specifically interested by Germany's U-Boat, or submarine, development. In 1933 the country laid down its first U-Boats in Kiel in absolute secrecy. In June of this year, 1935 A.D., they were launched and Germany once more possessed a fleet of submarines, albeit a small one for now. German rearmament had been on the radar of the British Government since 1933 and 1934, with the country's various prime ministers wishing to keep a close eye on the remilitarization of its former greatest enemy. Both countries sought to stabilize relations and usher in a new era of Anglo-German partnership, and so on 2 June 1935, Foreign Minister Konstantin von Fischer arrived in London, heading a German delegation to negotiate with the British Government on the issue of naval arms. |
| Negotiations were arduous, with what was meant to be a two-week negotiation period extending into a five-week period, with such a deadlock leading to Fischer temporarily leaving London for six days before returning with orders from Chancellor Heidler to compromise. On 17 July 1935, an agreement was hammered out that established 35:100 tonnage ratio that, in essence, stipulated that the Kriegsmarine could be 35% of the tonnage of Britain's Royal Navy but no more. Berlin sought to achieve a 40:100 or even a 50:100 ratio, but eventually settled on the 35:100 ratio proposal. On 7 August 1935, the agreement was signed at 10 Downing Street in London by the Foreign Ministers of Germany and the United Kingdom. Perhaps crucially, the agreement was signed without the approval of the other Allied Powers. |

AUGUST 1935
THE FIRST ASSAULT
The first major assault after the peace offer was declined happened today.
August/15/1935
Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz had previously deployed multiple troops to fight in the frontline that is the southern part of Maziya,the singular tank which was deployed into combat proved useful as there was no weapon on both sides of the war have which can severely damage the tank.The same couldn't be said for the infantrymen,many of them were being shot dead left,right and center but thanks to the tanks incredible firepower,the Qshairi revolters suffered more casualties.The tank practically forced the Qshairi revolters into a retreat as they have no plans on how to handle the tank.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz ordered for a new small base of operations to the built near the location so they could make easier repairs on the tank as it's proving itself to be their trump card over the revolution.
For the next couple of weeks the soldiers helped in constructing a small base of operations and handle maintenance of the tank.Meanwhile Adam Qshairi devised a plan to take down the tank and if possible steal it for themselves to use,this plan was gonna work like this.
They'll have to dig up a hole big enough for the tank to fall into but for that to work they need to figure out a way to lure the tank out to follow them as in the first assault the tank was mostly stationed at the back and only moved when the soldiers advanced forward
Qshairi was going to need to sacrifice a few troops if he needed to eliminate the tank out of the situation.Meanwhile commander,Airyl Haffiy came up with a plan after commander of the Pasukan Maziya Diraja,Muhammad Nabil Jafri told Airyl about his experience during the first month of the civil war,the plan for them was a simple one.Use the Besi Bangkit shields at the front and have a tiny enough gap for a gun barrell to shoot from but also still have some soldiers hiding within the bushes or behind a tree to serve as flanks.

FOREIGN MINISTRY: FRENCH GOVERNMENT IN DISGUST WITH CONTROVERISAL SIGNING OF ANGLO-GERMAN NAVAL AGREEMENT
[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, AUGUST 1935 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | The signing of the controversial Anglo-German Naval Agreement has enraged the French Government to say the least. The naval pact was signed in London on 18 June 1935 without the British Government consulting with France and Italy, or, later, informing them of the secret agreements which stipulated that the Germans can now build in certain categories more powerful warships than any of the three Western nations currently possess. The French regard this as treachery. It is seen as a further appeasement of Hiedler, whose appetite seemingly grows on concessions. The French Government also resents that the British agreement has for private gain further weakened the peace treaty, thus adding to the growing overall military power of Germany. The French Government contends that Britain had no legal right to absolve Germany from respecting the naval clauses of the Versailles Treaty. As an additional insult for France, the Naval Pact was signed on the 120th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, at which British and Prussian troops defeated the French army of Napoleon. This has only gone on to enrage the French Government even further. Secret plans are currently underway to increase the flow of building materials, supplies, and workers to French shipyards in order to decrease production times for the Marine Nationale's next line of new ships, namely the Richelieu-class battleships. | [/sub]

POLITICAL DRAMA IN THE CAPITAL - KING ADAM WITHHOLDS ROYAL ASSENT OF THE JUNE CONSTITUTION!
June 6, 1935
Warsaw, Kingdom of Poland
| Since the 1926 coup led by Józef Piłsudski, the Sanation movement - and its political arm, the BBWR (Bezpartyjny Blok Współpracy z Rządem, or Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government in English) - had enjoyed the ability to pursue their authoritarian agenda with essentially no interference from the King of Poland, Adam I. Though the King, per the 1918 Constitution which had set out the fledgling Polish nation, had the duty of signing into law any laws passed by Parliament, there was no law stating he must give his assent. In practice, however, the King had signed each and every law passed by Parliament. There were many theories to why this was - in his previous life as a mere nobleman, Adam Ludwik Czartoryski was known as a rather cultured and liberal man. But upon his ascent to the Polish throne, His Majesty was expected to be staunchly apolitical. Additionally, he understood the popularity and support that Piłsudski held. While perhaps quietly opposed to the policies of Piłsudski's BBWR, the King may have figured blocking the BBWR's bills would cause tension at best, and conflict at worst. |
| But less than a month after the death of Józef Piłsudski, and just a few months before the next election, a new Constitution came before the King at the Royal Castle - one with a range of new powers for the Prime Minister, and limits for Parliament. It had only narrowly passed through the Sejm thanks to the BBWR's close majority, and through the Senate with the backing of the right-wing National Party. Among the proposed changes were the right for the Prime Minister to dismiss Parliament before the end of term (currently only a power granted to the King), veto acts passed by the Sejm, and to name a third of the nation's Senators, who are all currently elected. |
| The decision sent shockwaves through both Parliament and the Polish public, but the King spoke on state-run radio station Polskie Radio Spółka Akcyjna the next day, calmly explaining his reasoning. |
[list]| Adam I, King of Poland: | "...Poland is a free nation, and emerged as a nation once more 17 years ago on the values of democracy and equality. I do not believe this Constitution, only narrowly passed by the Parliament, follows these values which we all hold dear. It strips back the power of every man and woman's vote, and it gives the Prime Minister powers which cannot be kept in check by anyone, not the people, not the Parliament, and not myself. Therefore, I hope you understand why I have made this decision, it is not one I have taken lightly, but it is one I truly believe is right. I could not in good conscience allow such a dangerous set of changes, such a degradation of liberty in this country, to carry my signature. May God bless you all, and may God bless the Kingdom of Poland."[/list]
| Whether the King was reluctant, afraid, or unwilling to use what is essentially a veto power he is well within his rights to use, until now...he has now made it clear that he will use it, if he feels he must. |

Post self-deleted by Alzarikstan.
Darn.
The bogging down of the Italian Askaris is exactly what Governor-General Graziani anticipated and hoped for. The goal for Graziani is for the Ethiopians to exhaust themselves with combatting local tribes and warlords turned professional soldiers that understand the layout of the lands. For Eritrea, the Italian Askaris would be primarily consisted of Tigray, which represents the more dominant ethnic group in Northern Ethiopia bordering Eritrea. For the Tigray, the Italians have promised them a more unified Tigray province if the war is successful and Ethiopia is occupied, thus the Eritrean Tigray population swung their support in favor of the Italian Askaris and have demonstrated a loyalty to fight for a united homeland. Utilizing guerrilla tactics, the Tigray would inform the NCOs and Commanding Italian Officers near the battlefield of the current situation unfolding in the mountainous regions near the border and where to pivot and maneuver Italian troops. Meanwhile, the official invasion force still remains in Eritrea as 760,000 (380,000 personnel in Eritrea and 380,000 in Somalia) begin their assault into Ethiopia in waves. But....Air Marshal Balbo had an idea.
With the purchasing and acquiring of additional 50 x Mitsubishi G3M Bombers (25 in Asmara and 25 in Mogadishu), Air Marshal Balbo has further pushed for a brutal strategic "Bombardamento a tappeto" (Saturation Bombing). In 5 groups of 5 Mitsubishi G3M bombers, each bomber would be ordered to drop their 800 kg (1,800 lb) of bombs within the mountains of Northern Ethiopia to target the following cities:
[list][list][pre]Adrigrat
Weldiya
Mekele
Asayita
Himora[/pre][/list][/list]
Flying at 25,000 feet, the Mitsubishi bombers wanted to utilize their service ceiling to their advantage to hopefully remain above clouds and mountain ranges to deploy a total of 45,000 lbs of conventional bombs across Northern Ethiopia. As the Mitsubishi bombers received their orders of mass strategic bombings in the mountains, the 15 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Light Bombers accompanied by 30 x Fiat CR.32 Biplane Fighters would traverse East past Asayita to circumvent the mountains and make way to Addis Ababa to deploy 600 kg (1,323 lb) of bombs (19,845 lbs of bombs total) upon the capital city. From Asmara, the 10 x Caproni Ca.133 Transport/Light Bombers would be ordered to target Lalibela, Dessie, Aksum, and Kobo in bombing campaigns while the 15 x Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello Bomber/Transport Aircraft equipped with 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) of bombs (66,135 lbs of bombs total) would be escorted by 25 x Fiat CR.32 Biplane Fighters. The Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello Bombers would target infrastructure needed to resupply the Ethiopian front and clustered Ethiopian forces in the tight areas of the northern mountainous regions of Ethiopia near Eritrea. Askari sergeants and sergeant majors, after receiving carte blanche on their operations and maneuvering tactics, would order their personnel to not follow Ethiopians into the mountains but starve and constrict Ethiopian fighters out of their positions by destroying logistics and transportation routes, burn crops and pillage farms, steal livestock and use them for Italian forces, and allow for the carpet bombs to force Ethiopians into their line of fire. Italian artillery such as the Cannone da 65/17 modello 13 Mountain Artillery and the Cannone da 149/23 Siege Artillery being positioned in Omhajer would begin their assault onto Himora as Carro Veloce L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks proceeded with caution and razing any and all things that are in the way of its flamethrower gun. Flanking sides of the Carro Veloce L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks would be Askari personnel with Carcano rifles targeting any and all Ethiopians that seek to escape the path of the Carro Veloce L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks. The Askaris would widen their squadrons to cover more land and to avoid being clustered as a way to minimize being spotted.
In Somalia, the 25 x Mitsubishi bombers would initiate the same operation as the bombers in Eritrea; however, they would target the following positions/cities:
[list][list][pre]Yebelo
Negele
Imi
Degeh Bur[/pre][/list][/list]
The Mitsubishi bombers would be accompanied by 20 x Fiat CR.32 Biplane Fighters while a secondary aerial campaign would commence as 4 x Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello Bomber/Transport Aircraft
and 10 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Light Bombers would begin to utilize an unthinkable but deadly combination: sulfur mustard air bombs, aerial spray cans, and conventional high explosive bombs. By practicing aerial maneuvering with acquiring "real-time"* reconnaissance, the Caproni Ca.111 would lead the aerial convoy as the pilots would view from their cockpits any sort of enemy clusters to then guide the strategic bombers and their escorting fighters into the direction of the enemy to deploy their bombs. However, Balbo wanted to further make a statement and ordered for bombers to drop said chemicals into the following cities/villages:
[list][list][pre]Goba
Harer
Jijiga[/pre][/list][/list]
The 380,000 initial invasion force of Askaris, Blackshirts, and Colonial Troops would commence but in 4 waves of 95,000 and accompanied by:
[list][list][pre]150 x Carro Veloce L3/33 CC Tankettes

The Askaris would also utilize camels and horses to formulate calvary charges into Dolo, Gode, Kebri Dehar, and Warder villages in the desert to occupy, pacify, and convert into supply and logistic centers to provide support to the professional invasion force when they are given the greenlight to begin their operations in addition to sustaining supply and assistance to the current waves of Italian forces entering Somalia. The usage of chemical weapons would be covertly approved by Benito Mussolini to further be used into the northern mountainous area of Ethiopia, hence further placing priority on the equipping of gas masks and to remain at a safe distance from Ethiopian forces in the mountains. Mussolini did not care if civilians would be caught in the cross fire nor did he fully care how many Askaris died but Mussolini wanted to inflict mass damage.
The invasion forces would be equipped with the following weaponry as well as with armored transport vehicles to ensure provided additional munitions and medical kits:

ITALO-GERMAN WEAPON PROCUREMENT
To continue to fuel the Italo war machine, Benito Mussolini negotiated a weapons acquisition from Germany that included the acquiring of 200 x Panzer I Light Tanks and 100 x Heinkel He 111 Medium Bombers. Upon receiving said weapons, Benito will determine proper allocation across the Kingdom, including the possibility of sending at least 30 of the Heinkel bombers to Italia East Africa.
ITALO-RHODESIA/ITALO-BRASIL TRADE AGREEMENT
Needing to diversify sources of crucial mineral resources for civilian and military purposes, the Italo-Rhodesian trade agreement was finalized with Rhodesia agreeing to provide Italia with Chromite, Tungsten, and Copper. The trade agreement with Rhodesia is further magnified with a trade agreement with Brasil that incorporates the import/export of mineral resources and industrial goods to expand the operations of the Italian and Brasilian mining and industrial sectors; sparking increases in employment. Additionally, the new currency of Italy (OOC: was in my first rp as Italy) finally demonstrated effectiveness with subtle indications of handling prices and inflation; prompting speculation of gradual removal of price controls under state supervision and guidance.

[pre]MORE ROYALS SCANDALS RELATED TO THE IMPERIAL FAMILY[/pre][/list][/list]
| While on the one hand we have the rise of Korean fascism with the peninsula being ruled by a pro-Japan and pro-Mussolini authoritarian Prime Minister and on the other hand Emperor Jeong does not seem to care about the current political development that Korea has had since the restoration of the throne in 1932, but Yi U is genuinely concerned about the status of the Imperial Family in relation to his older brother, Crown Prince Yi Geon. No wonder this happens again, the crown prince had already been involved in another scandal in 1933 with a Korean commoner woman, but now Yi Geon has become passionately involved with a noblewoman from the Imperial Court of Joseon. Some state councilors advised His Majesty to dethrone his elder brother and avoid putting the Imperial Family into more scandal. |
| Dethroning a member of the Imperial Family will not be an easy thing for Yi U, as Yi Geon is married to a Japanese woman, Matsudaira Yoshiko, who is currently the Crown Princess and somehow could cause some trouble between the Imperial Court of Joseon and the Japanese nobility. But the idea of the Crown Princes dethronement didnt seem like a good idea to Emperor Jeong, what Yi U would do would be to convince his brother to give up this love he has for other women and dedicate himself fully to his wife the Crown Princess. |
| After a long conversation with Emperor Jeong, Yi Geon decided to abandon his love for other women and decided to focus on politics, with the Crown Prince showing an interest in supporting Prime Minister Choi and his fascist ideology. |

[ The 'Bloodless Coup' ]
[ 10th of August, 1935: Pretoria, South Afrika ]
| Over the past months, the popularity of the Red Shirts has only grown and grown. Under the leadership of Baron Joubert the group of veterans officially coined their party name, even though it was not considered legal under the current constitution of the country itself. The party named itself the Transvaal Nationalist Fascist Party, TNFP for short, the rise of a fascist party put a lot of the older parliament members on edge as they heard of the rise of the fascists in other countries and feared violence. Even though the TNFP did not openly advocate for violence they were not above defending themselves and their followers, as became apparent in the summer of 1934 when the group staged a non-violent demonstration in Cape Town, only to be set upon by Bolshevik advocates. Many people were injured and even a few known Bolshevik leaders were openly stabbed or gunned down in the streets, Baron Joubert spoke out against such violence and even attended the funerals of those that were killed. Even though unknowing to all it was what he wanted, he did not want violence against the current parliament nor against the Zulus, despite many fanatics in his party openly calling for violence against both groups. He exclusively targeted those that advocated for Bolshevism, as he saw what it had done to the Russian Army during war, the seeds of division and open hatred of ones own countrymen which he saw being advocated amongst those that praised Bolshevism in his own country. Fortunately the idea of Bolshevism was fledgling at best in South Afrika, because of the country's military nobility and the various families that helped build the nation itself. Most that spoke openly of Bolshevism were very entitled college children, youths that did not see the horror of the trenches and the fighting on the eastern front, did not pay attention as a country that was once an empire tore itself apart.
Baron was standing at the steps to the parliamentary building and waiting for his men to arrive, he only designated a group of 60 men from the party to help him in this endeavor, more people would mean more possibilities of bloodshed. He was wearing a long dark trench coat that was buttoned to hide his shirt and a fedora to help hide his face, as the parliament did indeed intend to arrest him for treason. Something they havent been able to do because of those willing to support him, to keep the dream alive that he will change the current state of South Afrika. Helping to hide his features even more he was reading a newspaper that was printed both in Afrikaans and Zulu, as those were the two primary languages of South Afrika. He knew English, knew it very well in fact, but he and many others refused to speak the language. Hearing footsteps he would look up and see a policeman walking by the steps, the police officer looked at him and in that moment he thought that this was when everything fell apart. The officer gave him a grin and continued on his walk, while he was passing by Baron he mouthed a simple phrase, Transvaal Sieg, which brought a wide smile to Baron's face before he looked back down at his newspaper. The sound of vehicles caught his attention and he looked up to see three Ford Model Cs and two Hertzog Model 5 utility trucks approaching, he neatly folded his paper and sat it on the top of a waste bin before taking off his coat and setting it aside along with his fedora. He was wearing the dark red shirt and black pants of his group, he was wearing a shoulder holster with a Colt 1903 Hammerless in case violence did occur which he truly did not hope for. After his men disembarked from their vehicles they walked up the steps of the parliament building and were not stopped by the guards at the doors, in fact they were allowed entry as the guards opened the doors for them. Upon entering the entrance atrium of the parliament building, Baron lead his men from the front as they made their way to the main parliamentary chambers.
Entering into the Parliamentary chambers was not difficult as the guards willingly opened the doors for them. The uproar that wouldve commenced from the parliamentary assembly was quickly silenced, upon them seeing how well armed Baron and his men were. Many of them in the parliament were not veterans like Joubert and his men, not even veterans of the Anglo-Boer wars from years ago, they were all career politicians that failed their country and scorned those that fought for it. Today was a long day coming and Baron would see to it they all were dismissed of their duties, he did not want bloodshed and would not see any of them harmed. Reaching near the center where the speaker and mediators sat he turned to face the members on either side of the isle, those belonging to the SARU, South Afrikan Republican Union, and those belonging to the LDPSA, Liberal Democratic Party of South Afrika. A deep sigh escapes him as he places his hands behind his back, not saying a word as he looks over the room that he stood in. No one spoke a word not even the chancellor himself, Arend Van Klerk, all were silent as many believed they were facing their very deaths at that moment. |
[ Baron Joubert ]: I never thought I would see the day that I would be standing in these chambers, especially not on an occasion such as this. Can anyone guess why I am here? He looks around at all of them, a small smirk on his face like a professor that asked an important question that everyone likely has their own answer to.
[ MP Fitzgerald ]: Because you are a treasonous swine that wants to overthrow our republic! The older gentleman roars as he attempts to stand from his chair, but a slight gesture from a Red Shirt holding a SG-20 keeps him from doing so. He is only met with a small laugh from Baron, who waves his finger at such a notion.
[ Baron Joubert ]: No good sir, I am no traitor but I am here to throw your pathetic excuse of a republic into its grave. You all have lived off the suffering of the common South Afrikan, the man who is barely able to feed his family, the veteran who has to beg in the streets for money no one can give him. All of you appear plump and healthy while children, little children, have to work in mines and factories alongside their fathers for less than 3 Afrikaner Marks a week. Farmers selling their grain and taking their livestock to market then getting next to nothing for all of it, you have all lived luxuriously while the rest of our proud nation suffers, no more I tell you! No more! Barons voice echoed in the chambers, going to show how enraged he was as his fist slammed down on the desk of one of the mediators.
Today is the day that you all step away from politics and let those that know this country and its people to govern, you have all failed your duty to South Afrika. You have all failed to uphold your oaths to this nation, but I will not kill you, for I am not a judge nor am I an executioner. You all have ten minutes to vacate this building, the time starts now.
Baron says as he takes a pocket watch from his shirt and opens it, letting the ticking of it be heard as most MPs rush to vacate the chambers. All except the chancellor himself who still sits in his chair, staring at Baron and not moving a muscle.
[ Arend Van Klerk ]: So, this is how the Transvaal dies?
He asks, receiving a chuckle from Baron in response who closes his pocket watch and looks at Arend. A small smirk on his face at the question posed to him from the former chancellor, he reached into his pants pocket and removed a small cigarette case along with a light. Placing a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it he inhales deeply, then exhales before answering the question.
[ Baron Joubert ]: No, this is how the failure that is democracy dies and fascism wins. The people of the Transvaal want results and ambition, not stagnation and bureaucracy. Youll see. Baron grins at him before before looking up the ceiling as he smokes his cigarette, knowing what needs to be done and where to start.
| Later that night and the next day, all the MPs who fled from the parliamentary chambers and their families were absconded, never to be heard or seen from again. No one reported it and no news agency made note of it, all were focused on the rise of Baron Joubert to Chancellor of the Transvaal Fascist Union and the soaring popularity of his actions taken in the morning hours of August 10th. The former chancellor killed himself at his home after being escorted by police officers, he was found with a slit wrist by his wife and two daughters. Once more, no news media covered it as the police who responded to the call of distress were the same ones who escorted Arend Van Klerk home, Van Klerks wife and daughters were not seen again and rumored to have fled the country. When in all reality they were led out to the nearest river, had their throats cut, then dumped into the river for the Crocodile's and fish to devour and to leave no evidence. Thus ended the Bloodless Coup of 35 as no one knew of the horrors that took place besides those that committed them, because Baron had captured the attention of the media and the populace, just as he planned. |

[list]| The sudden Italian Invasion of Ethiopia was seen as a great opportunity for the Greek High Command and it's troops. This was the moment that Greek troops could actually experience some real combat, aside from the military crackdowns happening back in Greece. On the 1st of September, 1935, Ioannis Metaxas had fully authorized the participation of Greece in the war against Ethiopia, and was received by generals in Italian Eritrea a few hours later. The mighty Greek Expeditionary Force (GEF) in East Africa had 45,000 men, with 50 tanks having started to mobilize since August, preparing for orders from high command back in Greece. Now was the time to invade, and in the early hours of the 2nd of September, three Greek divisions pushed into Ethiopia. |[/list]
[list]|From the Eritrean city of Asmara, the Greek troops helped reinforce the Italian troops in Eastern Eritrea pushing into Northern Ethiopia. Fighting in the mountains, Greek had pushed deep into the largely undefended mountain passes in Northern Ethiopia. As the first week of September ended, Greek troops had pushed as far as the outskirts of Mek'ele, and had pushed more towards the Western flanks as Italians came from the East. The goal for Greek and Italian troops is to blitz toward the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, and make the Ethiopians use as much of their weaponry and equipment as possible so they become more vulnerable as the war goes on. |[/list]
[list]| Meanwhile in the skies above Ethiopia however, the wings of the Greek Air Force could be seen. In the Northern part of Italian Eritrea, an ar wing of ten fighter planes and five bomber planes have been deployed to support the land troops, while also bombarding key strategic points as a part of a separate collaboration operation with Italian high command. In the Southern part of Italian Somalia, an additional force of twenty fighters and 20 bombers have been sent to perform additional operations to support Italian ground troops. The main focus of both Greek and Italian high command is to gain permanent air superiority against Ethiopia. Once this war is won, Greece is promised to gain free docking rights in East Africa, making a strategic location for the Greek Navy in future possible operations. |[/list]

SUDAN GOES AIRBORNE! THE FIRST AIRFIELDS
Following a military deal made between the two colonial governments of Sudan and Rhodesia, a combined total of seven aircraft have been donated to the Sudanese Defence Force, officially creating an airborne division of the SDF. However, by the time those seven planes arrived in December, they would be in a country without an airfield or a base of operations.
In efforts to keep up with the modern world and its recent strides in linking the globe tighter together, it has been viewed by the Legislative Administration that Sudan is in need of being connected to itself and the rest of the world to gain access to what some believe is the best form of transportation in the modern era, aircraft. A magnificent 20th century machine that does not need to cross any rivers, climb mountains, or avoid obstacles, a machine that gets you from point A to point B in less time than it takes by train, car, or ship.
In this act of promoting colonial connectivity as well as advocating for faster and easier access for the largest British colonial body on the continent, the BLACS Body convened in a session where they debated and essentially voted to pass the CNEWS Airfields Act. The CNEWS stands for Central, North, East, West, and South, which stands for the planned strategic locations of those five airfields that shall be established in the Sudanese Colony, with the help and approval of the British Imperial offices.
The five Sudanese airfields would be established in the most influential and powerful cities within their respective regions. Another airfield will be established in Kampala, in British Uganda, as a part of the same program.
All flights into, out of, and through Sudan will only pass through Khartoum.A person in Juba attempting to go to Nyala cannot go on a direct flight between Juba and Nyala; they must go on a flight to Khartoum and connect to another one there that goes out west to Khartoum. Ugandas Kampala Airfield, however, will also have access to Khartoums airfield and be able to connect to other flights outside of Uganda and Sudan.

[sub]King Farouk Plans His Return To Egypt and Deposition of the Fascist Government with British Support[/sub][/list]
[pre]R I S E O F F A R O U K[/pre]
EGYPTIAN EMBASSY
[sub]MAYFAIR, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM MIDDAY[/sub]
| Ever since the fascist Young Egypt party had achieved power two years ago King Farouk, who had been based within the United Kingdom completing his education, had been plotting his return and ascension to the throne. Egypt had been in a regency ever since King Fuad's untimely and saddening death, and the regents that had been imposed placed little obstacles for which Hussein could complete his menacing plans. The first stop in any case for the young King was to the British ambassador to the Kingdom of Egypt, Sir Miles Lampson. Farouk had carefully and meticulously planned his return to Egypt and ascension to the throne where he would overthrow the fascist Prime Minister and his supporters in the House of Commons. He needed British support for such an action, with the support of the Egyptian military loyal to the King and with the support of British troops stationed within the Suez Canal, Farouk would surely be victorious. |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | As-salamu Alaikum, Sir, as you may be well aware I wish to present to you my plans to rid Egypt of the fascist filth that plagues the land that my body constitutes. I will need British support for this ... quite delicate operation. I know it may be a tall order, but if the British put their faith in me I will repay the government immensely when the natural order is restored" [/list]
| King Farouk would pull out a large piece of paper in front of him that contained the two years of logistics and planning that both he and allies close to the King had completed |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | Royal Egyptian Army soldiers are naturally loyal to the crown, and thus me, so I shouldn't have any issues of mutiny in that regard. However, as there are so many active soldiers . . . 120 thousand I believe . . . there may be logistical concerns with communication. Oh- and the small matter of Hussein's fervent ideological paramilitary that he has brainwashed over the past several years, arrest or kill it does not matter for Egypt's future depends on the success of this operation [/list]
[list] | [sub]SIR MILES LAMPSON, British Ambassador to Egypt[/sub] | Your Majesty I'm going to be frank with you, the British will support such an operation with logistics, supplies and any communications you desire, but ... may find it difficult to intervene directly. Direct intervention may be seen as the British dictating the government of a former colony of the United Kingdom, which we are doing ... but we can't be seen to do so. We will establish contact with British command in the Suez, and we will create a line of communication for you to organise the Royal Egyptian Army's efforts
[/list]
| Farouk would edge towards the British ambassador, resting his hand on the Sir Lampsons shoulder |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | I have been planning this for the last two years, this must work. The crown must win, must always win, against fascist, republicans, communists and the rest of their ilk . . . all must never be allowed to achieve victory. The natural order of Egypt is one under the rule of my family, this order must be restored at all costs. You will instruct the Prime Minister to assist with troops, military advisors or whatever it takes, we must- . . . no we will be victorious [/list]

SYRIANS CALL FOR INDEPENDENCE, ATASSI SEEKS MEETING WITH FRENCH GOVERNMENT

[list]𝒟𝒶𝓂𝒶𝓈𝒸𝓊𝓈, 𝒮𝓎𝓇𝒾𝒶𝓃 ℛ𝑒𝓅𝓊𝒷𝓁𝒾𝒸[/list]
Leading members of the National Bloc (Arabic: الكتلة الوطنية Al-Kutlah Al-Wataniyah; French: Bloc national) political organization have issued open calls for earnest and immediate negotiations regarding the independence of the Syrian Republic. Ever since the creation of the Mandate of Syria and Lebanon by the League of Nations, the Syrian State has been on a path of gradual democratization towards independent status. The constitution of 1930, which was drafted under the watchful eyes of the French authorities and proclaimed the Republic, was a step in this direction, but its limitations are clearer every day, writes National Bloc leader Hashim al-Atassi.
The French-approved President of our Republic, Muhammad Ali al-Abid, is a puppet to the Mandatory authorities. We the national bloc urge this President, if he calls himself Syrian, to utilize his office to initiate further talks with France regarding Syrian self-determination, the National Blocs statement reads. Atassi continues, writing that our intention is to maintain friendly relations with the French, albeit on equal terms and as sovereign members of the international community. Several public officials and prominent National Bloc figures who have joined Atassi include Fares al-Khoury, Jamil Mardam Bey, Saadallah al-Jabiri, Mostafa al-Shihabi, Edmond al-Homsi, Naim Antaki, and Edmonton Rabbat, among others.
Damien de Martel, High Commissioner of the Levant, has not commented on the National Blocs rallying call for renewed consideration of the independence question. It remains to be seen whether the French authorities in Damascus and Paris will take the national bloc seriously amid growing anxiety over future peace and stability in Europe.

PUTIN IS A BITCH

Hmm, think I recognise that last bit...
The first gas mask shipment from the French would be received, numbering 100,000. Also, the second arms purchase would also be delivered, numbering 15 Potez 25s, and 15 Dewoitine D.500's, as well as 20 Renault tanks. Also, the Rases would finish bringing their army and arming them urgently, numbering about 600,000 extra men on hand, about 50,000 per province, including the border ones. Most would be charged with garrison duty, so it brings 150k new men to the northern front, and 200k more men on the southern.
First, we will start in the Northern front. The Eritrean Askari would move forward in waves, barely advancing due to the level of fortifications there, the German machine guns plowing them down, leading to a very high casualty rate. However, there would be a lot of casualties on the Ethiopian side as well due to the bombings, but they would hold ground. The bombings would truly be brutal as many fortification positions and soldiers were annihilated, but soldiers were sent to refresh the hilly positions and continue the fight. The Arado fighters would engage with the bombers as the Anti Air guns would shoot at the Italian aircraft above. Meanwhile, numerous amount artillery guns would shell the advancing troops below, once again leading to an extremely high casualty ratio. Meanwhile, the bombings would have little effect on supply due to the rural nature of the country: most supply routes were done by donkey, horse, and truck. However, the Ethiopian divisions would stay in Himora, and attempt to make a stand, seeing that the natural barrier of the river was preventing Askari troops from making any meaningful advances. The tanks and artillery would have a tough time crossing the river as machine-gun fire and artillery shells would meet them, along with scout groups launching hit and run raids while they attempted to make a river crossing. 12 fighter jets, Dewoitine and Arado fighters, would attempt to engage the bombers in the air, with directions to avoid confrontation with other fighters at all costs. 70 AA guns would be spread out, each aiming to shoot down an Italian plane.
Meanwhile, in the Somalian front: the chemical and heavy explosive bombings would take a toll on the population and garrison there, but a number of aircraft would be shot down both by anti-air guns and fighter craft. This chemical bombing served as a precaution to the Emperor, who devoted more resources into acquiring gas masks to defend against this deadly weapon, learning from the Great War. There would be 3 armies in the Southern Front: The army of the left based in Negele, the army of the center based in Imi, and the army of the right based in Degeh Bur. As the opposing army would advance to Dolo, the army of the left would retreat to the fortifications of the Hindenburg Wall, and begin to regroup after the bombing, and to recruit and arm 10,000 more men in the cities of Wadera, Kebri Mangest, and Shakiso. Meanwhile, the army of the center would maneuver to Burca, in order to gain better positioning in the mountains. Finally, further reorganizations would occur as it would be further split into 5 armies, in order for maximum efficiency, each numbering about 82,000 men. An additional army would be sent to Guba, utilizing men from the draft as well as the army of the left, creating the southern army, and another one in Sagag. This would be done to also further spread out men to avoid further casualties. 8 fighter jets would be deployed here as well, but with similar direction as the northern front. 90 AA guns would be divided out into each of the southern front armies, in order to try to shoot down Italian planes.
Land changes: Dolo, Gode, Kebri Dehar, and Warder villages captured in Southern front, minimal change in Northern front.

-Associated with the idea of liberty whatsoever (Literally goes with the idea of; "There is no god, only the state", and claims that there is no such thing as a country. It also has no currency)

MANDATE FOR SYRIA AND LEBANON INTERIOR MINISTRY: COLONIAL GOVERNMENT APPROVES INDUSTRIALIZATION PROGRAM
[sub]MANDATE FOR SYRIA AND LEBANON | BEIRUT, OCTOBER 1935 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER, DAMIEN DE MARTEL | THE GUARDIAN OF THE LEVANT | The colonial government for the French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon has officially approved a new program that will see the Levant become more industrialized just as other parts of the French Colonial Empire have been and continue to be. The program calls for a port and ship facility expansion in Tartus with the addition of a railroad line coming out of Tartus and linking with Idlib and Aleppo. A second railway will link Tartus to Homs and from Damascus on to the capital city of Beirut. Construction of this new railroad is to begin immediately with it already being named the Trans-Levantine Railroad. French engineers have been dispatched near the city of Homs after experts concluded the high possibility of oil deposits in the vicinity, citing that crude oil has been seen seeping out of the ground in one location. Excavation and drill teams have also been dispatched to this area. One of the first major universities is due to open up in Damascus two months from now as education in the colonies continues to be a major focus. Additional plans for expanding the currently very small power grid in the Levant is underway with new coal plants being built outside of Beirut, Damascus, and Aleppo. |[/sub]

AL-RAHBA YOUTH CAMP | مخيم الرهبة للشباب
The Al-Rahba youth camp objective is to find physically gifted and qualified Iraqi youth to enlist from early age into a special military camp, and in turn create elite frontline shock-troops. Only males are permitted to be chosen and as young as nine years old. Officers will use knowledge obtained from French and Soviet teachings, alongside personal knowledge to hone in the "perfect soldier". The children are taken from their parents with or without permission, though they are compensated with money, it is preferred that recruiters choose orphans and street bandits.
The first 3-6 months will consist of showing pro-baathist propaganda and the noble values of defense for the homeland to protect it's soil, air and people from foreign threats. Proceeding that with basic physical training in order to pick out the weaklings.
After that period is over, They are then trained with firearms, learning the basics of operating one and know-how of assembly. They will begin practicing on live targets such as goats, dogs or cows. for approximately a year.
They are then moved onto the last segment, consisting of beatings with flogs and sticks as they begin desert and mountainous survival training in order to instill mental discipline and high pain-tolerance. Drill instructors teach them how to find and hunt their food such as snakes and rabbits and how to use the desert landscape to camouflage themselves from hostiles. The final objective is overriding their empathy for the enemy, by using live prisoners/criminals that the soldiers will be commanded to kill by use of fists or knife, Thus obtaining complete military obedience and discipline.
- Number of recruits will range from 25,000 to 50,000 per year
- They will be incorporated into the Iraqi Army but within their own divisions known as "Al-Rahba Division" (Dread Division)
- Their purpose will be to supplement frontline offensive units and engage the enemy head-on, Alongside special purposes for "Pacification" of hostiles after a battle is won or to pacify an occupied area of civilians, Using psychological warfare.

[list]| Following the outbreak of civil war in the Crowned Republic of Maziya, and the subsequent appeal of assistance from Greece, the decision was made, Greece was to go and fight in yet another allied foreign conflict. There was a price however, Maziya had to pay a total price of USD 20,000 for the assistance and a large chunk of natural resources. Maziya is to deliver ten tonnes of iron, and five tonnes of wool a month for one year. With the terms agreed upon, Greek troops and ships were now ready to fight in this far away nation. To get there however, convoys were obviously needed to transport Greek troops and equipment to Maziya, and our allies, the Egyptians, were willing to provide ten convoys which could handle tanks and troops for a minimal cost. |[/list]
[list]| To accompany the troops and convoys, the Greek Navy was to be involved in the escort. The Greek armored cruiser, once flagship of Greece, Georgios Averof, and Greek destroyer, Thyella were to escort the troops set to arrive in Maziya. In the afternoon of the 1st of October, 1935, the Greek convoy left Crete, en route via the Suez Canal to Maziya. The task force consisted of the previously mentioned ten Egyptian convoy vessels and two warships. On board were 1,000 men of the 1st Greek Infantry Battalion, armed with rifles and machine guns, and with ammunition to last four months. Along with this, elements of the 3rd Greek Tank Battalion, armed with 10 GLT-30 Type B and GLT-33 Type A tanks, and with ammunition and fuel to last three weeks, a small amount due to oil reserves in Maziya. The Greek expeditionary force is set to arrive in the main Maziyan port of Pelabuhan Asyraf by Mid-October, and are set to engage in combat soon after. | [/list]

ARRIVAL OF REINFORCEMENTS TO MOGADHISHU; ITALIAN PERSONNEL INVADE FROM ASAB, IDI, AND TIO, ERITREA
The stalling in the Northern front was to be expected due to Ethiopian fortified positions; however, the anti-Ethiopian propaganda has prompted further increases in morale for Eritrean Tigray that seek to unite Northern Ethiopia that is ethnically dominated by Tigray. As the Northern Ethiopian front is predominately a stalemate and focused on artillery usage, Italian reinforcements in Eritrea would be half of the artillery being sent from Italia:
[list][list][pre]100 x Cannone da 47/32 mod. 1935 Infantry gun / anti-tank guns
100 x Cannone da 65/17 modello 13 Mountain Artillery
100 x Cannone da 149/23 Siege Artillery
200 x Obice da 75/18 modello 34 howitzer artillery
100 x Cannone da 149/35 A Heavy Artillery Guns
250 x Obice da 149/12 Howitzers
150 x Obice da 149/13 modello 14 Heavy Howitzers[/pre][/list][/list]
With their arrival, the artillery and infantry guns would be positioned to target generic locations of Ethiopian positions indicated from the sound of Ethiopian rifles and artillery shots. The artillery from Asmara would become crucial in massive, continuous artillery shelling of Ethiopian positions whilst being positioned in Eritrean hills and mountain ranges. Mountainous villages such as Tucul would be transformed into hidden logistics and supply zones to maintain constant supply of munitions, food, clothes, and medical kits. In the air, the 5 groups of 5 Mitsubishi G3M bombers accompanied by 30 x Fiat biplane fighters recently deployed to ensure safety while the remaining 40 x biplane fighters deployed from Asmara would operate in air superiority missions to target Ethiopian fighter planes and if possible dive target any and all perceived agrarian convoys observed from the pilot cockpit. Benito Mussolini did not want to give the Ethiopians any will to fight. 2 of the Mitsubishi bomber groups would be given the orders to specifically target the Northern mountain ranges of Ethiopia per new information, turned intelligence, gathered by Askari reconnaissance units and wounded soldiers that can recall positions Ethiopians are fighting from.
The remaining 3 Mitsubishi bomber groups would target Mekele, Himosa, and Weldiya with conventional high explosive bombs and sulfur mustard gas cannisters. A potential major game changer would be brought into the war: 100 x Heinkel He 111 Medium Bombers (50 in Eritrea and 50 in Somalia). With 2,400 lb in the main internal bomb bay and 1,000 in the external bomb bay, 25 x Heinkel He 111 Medium Bombers would deploy from Asmara with 3,400 lbs of conventional high explosive bombs and escorted by 20 x Fiat CR.32 Fighters. The Heinkel 111 bombers' targets would be:
[list][list][pre]Mekele
Weldiya
Addis Ababa
Himosa[/pre][/list][/list]
The 20 Fiat fighters would come from the arrival of the following aircraft from Italia Peninsula/Libya. Half would be sent to Asmara and the other Mogadishu:
[list][list][pre]200 x Fiat CR.32 Fighters (100 in Eritrea and 100 in Somalia
250 x Caproni Ca.133 Transport/Bombers (125 in Eritrea and 125 in Somalia)
50 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Bombers (25 in Eritrea and 25 in Somalia)[/pre][/list][/list]
As the brutal bombing campaign commences to keep the attention of the main Ethiopian armies, from Eastern Eritrea, 75,000 Italian soldiers would be sent to invade Ethiopia from the Eritrean cities of Tio, Idi, and Assab with the orders of conducting direct action and special operations to traverse the less rigid mountain/hills of Eastern Ethiopia/Eastern Eritrea towards Teru .The 75,000 personnel would open up a third flank to capitalize on Addis Ababa's attention on Northern and Southern battlefronts. Part of the job of this particular group is to conduct massive disruption while en route to Teru before expected confrontation at Mekele. Governor-General Graziani wanted to provide a major surprise from the Eastern Flank. To provide support, half of the equipment sent from Italia Peninsula would be used on this 3rd flank as the geography is suitable for the usage of tankettes:
[list][list][pre]150 x L3/35 Carro Armato Tankettes
150 x Carro Armato L3/33 Tankettes
50 x Fiat 3000 Light Tanks
75 x L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks
25 x Carro Armato L3 cc anti-tank tankettes
50 x L3/33 CC Tankettes[/pre][/list][/list]
With opening of a third flank, Mussolini has indicated for the Italian Air Force to not decrease strategic bombing but to increase effort and expand the targeting zones from Himosa to Addis Ababa to maintain the attention of the Ethiopians to not fully pay any attention to the Eastern region. However, Air Marshal Balbo has decided to open up an aerial flank from the East utilizing 30 x Caproni Ca.133 Transport/Bombers and 40 x Fiat CR.32 Fighters to swing around and target Mekele, Asaita, and Addis Ababa.
In Somalia, the 100,000 personnel promised by Italia would arrive with the remaining half of equipment, armored units, aircraft, and supply. With some success being observed in desert warfare thanks to the Askaris and Blackshirt Auxiliary Units, Mussolini wanted to continue to expand this success. With captured villages in the south, the Italians would begin to push forward, 50,000 of the remaining 135,000 personnel in Somalia would be approved to push forward to secure Italian occupied zones of Ethiopia (Dolo, Gode, Kebri Dehar, and Warder villages) while the initial invasion forces continue to push, despite losses on the front. Nonetheless, the aerial campaign would become enlarged with the usage of 25 x Heinkel 111 bombers reinforced by 10 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Bombers and 30 x Fiat CR.32 Fighters would target with high intensity the villages of Imi, Degeh Bur, Bobe, and Addis Ababa. Additionally the fighters would have secondary operations of targeting Ethiopian fighters that may be present. However, there would be one target in particular that Graziani wanted destroyed: the single rail that connects Addis Ababa to Djibouti (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Ethiopia_War_Map_%281935-feb_1936%29_it.svg/1024px-Ethiopia_War_Map_%281935-feb_1936%29_it.svg.png).
As a symbol of impending incorporation into Italia East Africa, Graziani has ordered for said rail to be destroyed and to begin the process of leveling significant portions of Addis Ababa with major conventional high explosive free fall bombs in addition to targeting any Ethiopian force clusters in Somalia as observed by the Reconnaissance bombers. Furthermore, Graziani has begun preparations for the usage of paratroopers into Ethiopia for disruption campaigns. The Northern front has been ordered to be reinforced with the usage of major artillery shelling into Ethiopia/

Czechoslovakia's Expression of Support to Ethiopia
As Italy and Czechoslovakia express good relations, the Czech government must be unbiased to this conflict in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has gained the support of Czechoslovakia. We see Ethiopia as a nation defending its own ideals and homelands. As we all have our own lands and Ideals, we will express the support of others' ideals. We will do what we can for the very nation of Ethiopia, yet still, we express our neutrality. To Italy, we don't want a separation of our positive relations. Yet we will not endorse or support tyranny.

[sub]1935 Federal Election[/sub][/list]
PARLIAMENT HILL, OTTAWA, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, (Canovia)
[sub]| PARLIAMENT HILL - PARLEMENT | Perhaps one of the most stressful times for any politician, the 1935 federal elections were underway as MPs would have to once again campaign and hold on to their seats. As the Dominion of Canada was still feeling the effects of the Great Depression, the central focus for this years election was economic reform to combat the high unemployment in the country.[/sub]
[sub]Witnessing numerous strikes and riots throughout the nation the conservative government of R.B. Bennett was met with large opposition with the working class and unemployed dissatisfied by the so-called measures taken by the Prime Minister. Only a few months prior, Prime Minister R.B. Bennett would announce his plans of creating a New Deal modelled by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelts plan. Although still not officially enacted into law, it was far too late for Bennett or the Conservatives to save their reputation and chances of winning re-election.[/sub]
[sub]With the lack of trust towards Conservatives growing , it was the perfect chance for longtime Liberal leader (and former Prime Minister) William Lyon Mackenzie King to return as the nations prime minister for the third time campaigning on new ideas on how to handle Canadas economic problems.[/sub]
[sub]With growing dissatisfaction from both Liberals and Conservatives over the last five years, new and radical parties began to emerge such as the Social Credit Party (which campaigned on a social credit program and distribution) and the more left leaning Co-operative Commonwealth (which campaigned on democratic socialism and social democracy). Thus it was important for the Liberals to gain the most seats within Canadas western provinces.[/sub]
[sub]Perhaps the worst defeat for the Conservative Party, long time veteran Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King would once again become Canadas prime minister with a majority of 173 seats (of 245). The Conservative Party would finish with only 39 seats (down 96) with the Social Credit Party winning 17 and the Co-operative Commonwealth winning 7.[/sub]
[list]WILLIAM LYON MACKENZIE KING, Prime Minister: [sub]No longer will Canada suffer under the incompetence of R.B. Bennett and the Conservative Party. Its time to put Canada back on track.[/sub][/list]

[pre]The Government of National Salvation, the Fatherland Front, and the whole of the Austrian Federal State declares its full support for Italy's military operation in Ethiopia. We know Italy to be acting in accordance with its overseas interests and obligations, as well as in the interest of the Italian nation. The Austrian government sees our Fatherland as being historically and fraternally bonded with Italy and her people. In order to strengthen these bonds and foster greater overall cooperation between Austria and the Mare Nostrum countries, the Austrian Chancellor hereby invites the Italian head of state to visit Vienna at his earliest convenience to hold consultations on security matters.[/pre]

[sub]| Upon signing the statement for immediate release, Von Starhemberg turned to his deputy and foreign minister, Kurt Schuschnigg. "Are we playing with fire here, not inviting the Germans?" he asked Schuschnigg. "It won't be taken as a provocation I imagine. If it is, then it's all the more reason to negotiate some form of security guarantees from Italy. Austrian independence is being torn apart by the Volkisch elements parading through the streets on a daily basis. If my suspicion is true and these people are receiving assistance from their German counterparts, then we've already lost too much ground." Von Stahremberg glanced back at the paper, and replied: "I fear you may be correct. In any case, we will talk with the Italians and see what comes of it." |[/sub]

[sup]United Kingdom Approves The Government Of India Act of 1935!!?[/sup]
[sup]What's being dubbed to many as the biggest piece of legislation in regards to India in the history of British/Indian relations has made headline news with the passing of the Government of India Act of 1935. Because of its length, the Act was retroactively split by the Government of India Act, 1935 into two separate Acts. Leading to The Government of India Act, 1935, having 321 sections and 10 schedules. The Government of Burma Act, 1935 having 159 sections and 6 schedules. Both acts passing Parliament.[/sup]
[sup]In what leads to a massive win for the nationalist movement in India with key civil rights leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi praising the passing of the legislation. Signaling what he and many describe as a "bright future ahead for Indian self preservation and self governing."[/sup]
[sup]The grant of a large measure of autonomy to the provinces of British India (ending the system of diarchy introduced by the Government of India Act 1919). Provision for the establishment of a "Federation of India", to be made up of both British India and some or all of the "princely states." The introduction of direct elections, thus increasing the franchise from seven million to thirty-five million people. A partial reorganization of the provinces: Sindh was separated from Bombay, Bihar and Orissa was split into separate provinces of Bihar and Orissa. Burma was completely separated from India. Aden was also detached from India, and established as a separate Crown colony. Membership of the provincial assemblies was altered to include any number of elected Indian representatives, who were now able to form majorities and be appointed to form governments and the establishment of a Federal Court.[/sup]
[sup]Despite the passing of the act, its received criticism from nationalist alike even before the passing of the bill, the degree of autonomy introduced at the provincial level was subject to important limitations: the provincial Governors retained important reserve powers, and the British authorities also retained a right to suspend responsible government.[/sup]
[sup]The parts of the Act intended to establish the Federation of India never came into operation, due to opposition from rulers of the princely states. The remaining parts of the Act came into force in 1937, when the first elections under the act were also held. The Features of this act were as follows; 1-it provided for the establishment of all Indian federations consisting of provinces and princely states as units. the act divided the powers between center and units in terms of three lists-Federal list, the Provincial list and the concurrent list.[/sup]

[sub]NORTH-WEST NAIROBI, Bescania MORNING[/sub]
| Agriculture is its largest mean of revenue within the Kenyan colony. She exports several different kinds of produce, and in return receives machinery and equipment from her mother country - Britain. |
| Historically, Kenya's economy has been based on farming, herding, hunting, and trade. But when Britain took over Kenya, a world capitalist economy was introduced. The economy then became based upon the export of agricultural products. European farmers settled in Kenya because of the fertile soil. Their presence has boosted the economy. From the early 1900's to the present, tea, coffee, and sisal have become the dominant exports. Kenyans are encouraged to produce commodities to sell at local markets to boost consumption and production. Growth in the agricultural sector has been driven by increased production of major food crops such as maize, sorghum and cassava, but the sectors performance remains below potential |
| Key British economists within Kenya have offered several potential mechanisms for improving the economic growth of Kenya. |
[list][sub]* Expansionary fiscal policy: cutting taxes to increase disposable income and encourage spending. However, lower taxes will increase the budget deficit and will lead to higher borrowing. This will likely benefit the white upper class European settlers that live in Kenya but for the lower class Kenyans it will have little effect.
* Investment: in infrastructure, e.g. new roads, railways lines and public transport a good quality road and rail network gives people access to schools and clinics, and enhances job opportunities. It also enables a large number of Kenyans to be involved in the construction of such projects thus reducing short term unemployment whilst boosting the long term economy in the process
* Potential deregulation to stimulate growth, but comes with danger of businesses exploiting the lack of regulations. [/sub] [/list]

[pre]R I S E O F F A R O U K[/pre]
PORT ALEXANDRIA
[sub]ALEXANDRIA, Kotakuan Ii DAYBREAK[/sub]
| King Farouk had been planning his 'liberation' of Egypt with the British government for a little over two months, he had already established contact with the great Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud regarding Saudi Arabian support of the coup and recognition of the new 'legitimate' government in Cairo. Saudi Arabia offered Egypt their full support, and recognition of the new Egyptian government under His Majesty Farouk I, by the grace of God, King of Egypt and Sudan, this was a big step for Farouk who was seeking to forge alliances and partnerships with like-minded states across the Arab world. For him, Saudi Arabia's attempt at the unification of the Arabian Peninsular was a noble effort and respected it immensely. It reminded him of his own goal of one day politically reuniting the Kingdom of Egypt with Sudan, therefore friendship was paramount to the success of his future government. After all, Farouk's official title (albeit for the most part ceremonial) is King of Egypt and Sudan, Sovereign of Nubia, Kordofan, and Darfur Ahmed and he wishes to make that into reality. |
| In the meantime, Royal Egyptian soldiers welcomed the arrival of Farouk in Port Alexandria where he had sailed from Britain to Egypt on a British transport vessel. He immediately ordered a 'march on Cairo', where he and the Royal Egyptian Army would overthrow the fascist government of Ahmed Hussein and his Young Egypt party. He would unite Egypt under an absolute monarchy with Islamist lines, with Farouk as head of both state and government. Decisions will be determined in essence through consultation among the leading princes of the royal family as well as the religious establishment. However, major policy choices will be potentially decided outside of formal government entities, instead of just entirely by the king. Decisions could be decided by reaching an agreement and consensus within the royal family. The views of key elements within Egyptian society, such as religious scholars, senior nobles and gentry, and heads of large business families, will also be factored in the decision making processes. There will be a deliberation among the senior figures of the future Egyptian government to decide whether implementing Islamic law as the constitution would be justifiable or creating an entirely new constitution based on traditional, religious and fundamental principles. |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | As-salamu Alaykum, brothers of Egypt, it is time to reclaim what is rightfully ours. My body constitutes this land, my very heartbeat is the constitution of this country. We will not let weak men who are not born to rule impose such disastrous ideologies on the Egyptian people, I am your king but most importantly of all, I am your fellow countryman and brother in arms. Hussein has long imposed Anti-Egyptian policies on the people, in an attempt to woo the European fascists that plague this world. He would rather we were sold to the likes of Italy under Mussolini, or Germany under Heidler - we cannot stand for this. We must defend our land, our people and our honour - May Allah Bless you, FOR OUR EGYPT, FOR THE CROWN! " [/list]
| A large roar emitted from some several thousand troops that were gathered around the port, Farouk expected some resistance by those loyal to Hussein. Particularly his paramilitary known as the "Green Shirts". Farouk turned to Mushir (Field Marshal) El Misri, the highest-ranking general of the Royal Egyptian Army who had pledged his total support to Farouk's efforts. |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | The Green shirts must be dealt with, without them Hussein is nothing more than a weakling, instruct your men to arrest compliant 'Green Shirts'- if they do not surrender . . . then they must be put down as they are a threat to our people [/list]
[list] | [sub]ABDUL EL MISRI, Royal Egyptian Army Mushir[/sub] | Right away your majesty, you are right about Hussein. Without the green shirts, he is nothing, and without Hussein, the green shirts are also nothing. What must we do when it comes to Hussein, will we arrest or kill-
[/list]
| Farouk would interrupt the Field Marshal |
[list]| [sub]FAROUK, King of Egypt[/sub] | " We must respect that due process is necessary, Hussein must be put before the court in Egypt for his crimes against the people, state and the crown. We cannot butcher him, it would make our government seem duplicitous - and despite my hatred for Italy and Germany, it would put us in a delicate situation as for even you know how much Hussein was in cohorts with the Italians and Germans. We must handle this carefully . . . [/list]

MAIN ENTRANCE, HELIOPOLIS PALACE
[sub]CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii EVENING[/sub]
| In less than a month the 'March on Cairo' had proved to be a success, several hundred Royal Egyptian Army soldiers escorted Farouk to the Heliopolis Palace where Ahmed Hussein lay under siege. The 'Green Shirts' held the inside of the building, protecting the Young Egyptian leader for the time being in what seemed like a 'last stand' for the Prime Minister. The special operations unit that Hussein had created himself, codenamed 'Operation FIRDAUS' or 'Paradise' which is the final abode of the righteous and the Islamic believers. 'Firdaus' had pledged their allegiance to the King, Farouk I, and managed to breach the opening of the gate of Heliopolis palace with some handmade explosive device. In the meantime, thousands of Cairo protesters marched on Tahir Square which meant 'Liberation Square' in English which was a quite apt name for the situation at hand. The protesters chanted words of support to the king, and even chant of anti-fascist nature which include several anti-German and 'Volk' words. |
| Upon the breach of the gate, several hundred Royal Egyptian Soldiers gave supportive cover fire to the advancing 'Operation Firdaus' special operations team who made their way into the palace in search for Hussein. They made their way up the long winding stairs of the palace, on edge for any remaining 'Green Shirt' members that stood in their way. It was eerily quiet as they found themselves at the door of the office of the Prime Minister. At that moment, two 'Green Shirts' emerged from a door adjacent to the office of the Prime Minister and began opening fire. They were quickly neutralised by the several dozen specially trained soldiers who were advancing closer to the door of the office. Alfan, an experienced special operative, slowly opened the door and peeked through which much to his surprise was completely unlocked and unbarricaded. The deserted palace echoed only with the footsteps of the advancing Royal soldiers, who had now followed Firdaus operatives into the building. To Alfan's surprise, and ultimate shock, Hussein was casually sitting in his office chair - resigned to the palms of his hands in his face. He looked up, let out a wry grin and grabbed an astutely placed pistol from under his desk into his hands |
[list]| [sub]ALFAN, 'Operation Firdaus' Soldier[/sub] | DROP YOUR WEAPON NOW, THIS IS AN ORDER. YOU HAVE ONE CHANCE " [/list]
| Hussein laughed menacingly at Alfan, the pathway into evil begins as small acts of cold-heartedness, yet as with any journey those small steps become more significant as they add up. Hussein had reached the penultimate step of his final evil journey. |
[list]| [sub]AHMED HUSSEIN, Prime Minister of Egypt[/sub] | I have nothing to lose . . . Farouk has turned the people, the army and the country against me [/list]
| At this point several further Firdaus operatives entered the office of the Prime Minister, their guns pointing directly at Hussein. Alfan would speak with a stern impatience in his voice, his hatred of Hussein was seeping out of his pores |
[list] | [sub]ALFAN, 'Operation Firdaus' Soldier[/sub] | If you comply, we will not harm you. . . now I won't ask again. PUT THE WEAPON DOWN! [/list]
| Hussein would try to turn to point the gun at himself but Alfan anticipated Hussein's desperate ploy and opened fire intending to disarm Hussein, aiming for his arm and hand for a non-lethal approach as he was instructed to by Mushir Abdul El Misri. Several of Alfan's bullets had pierced Hussein in the shoulder and arm, he let out an audible gasp and dropped the pistol from his hand which clattered the floor in a large bang |
[list]| [sub]ALFAN, 'Operation Firdaus' Soldier[/sub] | "HOLD FIRE! . . . HOLD HIM DOWN! [/list]
| Several Firdaus operatives would rush to arrest and restrain the fascist Prime Minister, they had finally got their man. Several minutes later, the information was relayed to the King of Egypt and Sovereign of Nubia, the Sudan, Kordofan and Darfur. He turned to the large crowd of soldiers and people alike and raised his fist in the air, proclaiming victory. There was an enormous roar, Farouk had won, the crown . . . had won. |

Obsession with secession
The day of secession is coming closer and closer, the people of Oregon voting on the matter of staying in the Union. The vote in the end would decide that secession is what they want. Massing militias and loyal Union soldiers in the Union army to prepare to see if any retaliation, peaceful secession is indeed preferred but a bloody one will happen if peace is not an option.

MINISTRY OF THE COLONIES: AFRIQUE MINING OPERATIONS EXPANDED WITH TRANS-SAHARAN RAILWAY NEARING COMPLETION AND A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR AFRIQUE ÉQUATORIALE ON THE HORIZON
[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, NOVEMBER 1935 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF LEMPIRE, MINISTÈRE DES COLONIES, TROISIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE - | The massive Trans-Saharan Railway has entered its third consecutive year of construction. With an estimated three more years to go, mining companies are turning their gaze towards the potential of African mines and their ability to ship more materials via the trains which some are already in service such as those linking Bamako to Yamoussoukro, Ouagadougou to Yamoussoukro, and Ouagadougou to Lomé. The materials could then be shipped to other various parts of the empire, namely mainland France for refinement and production purposes. Several mining companies have taken this opportunity to expand their mining operations in Africa with shipments of Iron, Gold, Bauxite, Lead, Zinc, Copper, Diamonds, and Magnesium nearly doubling in the last couple of months. Having been dubbed the "the most promising project for the future of Africa" by Governor-General Joseph Jules Brévié, it can be said that such a statement is true. The expansion of mining operations and materials leaving port for market has led to the government approving yet another expansion of ports in Lomé, Cotonou, Dakar, and Nouakchott in order to keep up with supply and demand. |[/sub]

[sub]| Having taken note of the rapid industrialization efforts being made in mostly French West Africa, the colonial government of French Equatorial Africa has drawn up similar plans and presented them to the French Government. On November 3, 1935 President Lebrun decreed that colonial industrialization efforts should be expanded to French Equatorial Africa beginning with the construction of a "Central African Railway" which would begin in Pointe-Noire and extend all the way to N'Djamena, linking with Libreville, Yaoundé, Douala, and Bangui enroute. Expansions of the ports and maritime facilities in Pointe-Noire, Libreville, and Douala have also been ordered. With French Equatorial Africa being rich in many of the same minerals as French West Africa with the addition of large amounts of petroleum, expansion of the mining and drilling operations there could lead to the production of even more raw materials and refined products for French markets. | [/sub]

NOVEMBER 1935
QSHAIRI REVOLTERS PUSHED BACK
With the support from their allies the Kingdom Of Greece,mid-October of 1935.Maziya has been able to push back the revolters.Although the overwhelming force of the Greek's,GLT-30 Type B's and GLT-33-Type A's came in handy, they only lasted three weeks before they had to be sent back to a safe spot to avoid any more additional damages which could be caused.But during the times when they could enter the battle,they massively pushed back the Qshairi Revolution.Since they already struggled with dealing with one tank,upon hearing that 20 more were arriving as ally support many soldiers of the Maziyan military had their hopes up.But even though with the massive casualties on the Qshairi revolution side,they still surprisingly pushed on,maybe hoping to find the right opportunity.But a majority of Greek soldiers felt confused as the fact that Maziya still employed troops who wear plated armour and carry around shields,swords,knives and axes to combat and the fact that they would still see frontline combat to the Greek soldiers they thought those troops functioned like cannon fodder.
