[list][list][pre]CHANCELLOR SHAW PAINTS BRIGHT FUTURE DURING OPENING CEREMONY OF NEW MIRANDA - MARACAIBO RAIL LINE;[/pre][/list][/list]
[list][sub]| MIRANDA Thousands crowded a grandstand and the surrounding plaza around which neoclassical buildings stood, just a stones throw away from the National Palace. There 670 miles of standard gauge, Palmeran-steel rail connected the high-altitude capital of the Union to its largest port, Maracaibo. This latest addition to the national infrastructure represents a great leap in the Palmeran public works program initiated by Chancellor Shaws Prosperity or Bust speech to the National Assembly. In the interceding 5 years, the Palmeran Union has invested heavily into the development of roads, bridges, and tunnels, in an effort to redirect the influx of capital from the Oil Boom directly back into the Unions national product. 1,000 miles of road had been paved where gravel and dirt paths once carved through mountain passes, valleys, and the great Llanos plain. Major aeroports were taking shape in Miranda, Barranquilla and Caracas; and plans were advancing to to begin construction of a hydroelectric dam at the intersection of the Orinoco and Carona Rivers, to bring power to eastern Palmera. Through the vision of Auberon Shaw, and the temperance of the Elders, the Union of Palmera was experiencing a steady march towards prosperity.Yet, as the Chancellor celebrated this new accomplishment, all was not well in paradise.[/sub]
[sub]Intense debate captivated the attention of the Elder Council as pressure mounted abroad for the Union to rescind its mandate for a minimum wage among Petrol workers. While the policy had worked to inject substantial amounts of cash into the purses of the average citizen, rumors of a potential flight of capital out of the Union by investors fearful of further government intervention, was ever present.[/sub]
[sub]At the private La Paila Resort near Turbo; Palmeran Elites joined American, French, Dutch, English, Italian and even Japanese profiteers in a revolving enterprise that seemed more active than the Palace of Nations at Geneva. What occurred within those walls, no one knew or rather, no one on staff was willing to lose their tips to share but what remained evident, was that the old influence machine was active in Miranda, and labor reforms had all but stalled.[/sub]
[sub]To face down the tycoons and barons who wielded such great power and influence was a task that Chancellor Shaw was publicly weary of. Doing so would challenge the very fabric of the Union, setting up a clash between the two national institutions the National Assembly and Elder Council; plunging Palmera into a state of political instability like much of the developing world. Bust, was not to be placed on the menu before to the people who had for so long suffered poverty, and stagnation due to greed. Instead, the Chancellor made clear that the Union would face the coming dawn bravely through domestic revitalization to encourage rather than compel labor reform in the private sector.[/sub]
[sub]In his speech, Chancellor Shaw called for a continuance of government investment into Public Resources as a means of stimulating and sustaining the national economy. Making available high speed public transit between major metropolitan areas, it was hoped that drawing the sprawling Union together would foster a culture of innovation, unity, and social progress. In the Miranda-Maracaibo line alone, a trip that would take nearly 20 hours was to be reduced in half. Whereas the rail line itself took full advantage of advances in new technology in comparison to those available when the first national roads were completed in the late 1860s, the acquisition of new LNER Class A4 Streamliners from the United Kingdom (Great Britain Gb) would prove to be essential to that drawing together. From Buenaventura to Cali, Cali to Miranda; Miranda to Maracaibo; Maracaibo to Caracas; and Caracas to the oil fields of San Jose; the Chancellor painted a picture where workers could live near their ancestral homes and work in the great metropolis and industrial centers of Palmeras Caribbean coast and Interior. Such a future could be achieved, Shaw boasted, in a monumental effort bringing with it good paying jobs and ensuring inter-sector growth by 1943.[/sub][/list][/list]
[list][list][pre]MAINTENANCE OF FIRST BATCH OF CRUISERS DIMS SHORT-TERM HOPES FOR A WORLD CLASS NAVY;[/pre][/list][/list]
[list][sub]| BUENAVENTURA The sixth of ten planned Constellation-class heavy cruisers entered service with the Palmeran Armada last month to great pomp and circumstance. The military modernization initiated by the National Defense Act of 1930, was another source of job growth and the elevation of national unity in the face of the depression. 100,000 brave men and women had volunteered to join the armed forces bringing the active duty roster close to the planned 160,000. Military airfields had been completed near Guiria, Puerto Ayacucho, and La Chorrera (Panama), and the new naval station at Bahia de Chame entered, at the start of December 1935, the second stage of dredging. Headway was being made in the development of Palmeras military infrastructure but slowed progress in the construction of shipyards across the Union was causing a backlog.[/sub]
[sub]From 1929-1935, the Palmeran Armada swelled from an ill maintained, rudimentary force of outdated warships barely worthy of that designation to a well equipped fleet whose technical capability vastly outpaced its ability to fully man its vessels or maintain them. Apart of the acquisition of new Warships from the British Empire, Japan, France and Finland the commitment of those countries to send officers to provide technical and educational support to the Palmeran Armed Forces was essential to the long term development of the Armada, but likewise brought new issues that planners did not foresee. The process of training a cadre of commissioned and non-commissioned Officers capable of leading enlisted sailors was proving difficult. Whilst Palmera was no foreigner to the sea, the transition from manning warships considered modern in 1890, to those vessels of the contemporary age was a tall order. Yet, the Ministry of National Defense persisted with the intense support of allies to make up for this short coming. Some 3,000 men had been admitted to the Officer Training program, which for Commissioned officers was to last 4 years and 2 years for NCOs all to be prepared for combat and diplomacy at sea with an education that was both practical in its application and theoretical in its appreciation for the classics. Cadets were trained in foreign languages, World History, and the Arts in the morning and Navigation and Gunnery in the afternoon 6 days out of the week. This was conducted amid the sound of hammers and saws erecting the walls of the new Naval Academy and War College at Buenaventura and Ciudad Bolivar respectively. By all indications, the most optimistic of projects estimated that Palmera will develop a strong core of officers by the early 1940s, serving at various levels of command, at sea and ashore.[/sub]
[sub]The logistical issues presented by maintaining a large fleet with substandard shore facilities was an issue not easily addressed. Much of the funding available to the national government was being directed to infrastructure and public works projects inland which policy makers prioritized in the face of the depression. Peace in the Americas seemed all but guaranteed, even as tensions abroad continued to summer with the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Thus, the Ministry of Defense was compelled to lean on foreign and private investors to provide the capital necessary to erect additional slipways, dry docks, and gantries which were becoming increasingly in short supply. Consistently has it proven difficult to make repairs upon the vessels purchased from foreign partners and make headway in the construction of the Constellation cruisers, let alone the planned fleet of 30 large Destroyers authorized by NDA-1930. To planners at the Admiralty, a decision was forced upon them and made effective on January 1st of 1936. The Union of Palmera would cancel the remaining 4 vessels of the Constellation class and use the materials already set aside for them as parts for the 6 already in service.[/sub]
[sub]A major blow to the potential war fighting capability of Palmera the cancellation of the cruisers were as the class of 10 were designed to close the gap with regional rivals such as the Brazilian Empire and other powers, not in numbers but in quality. Yet, the reality of 50 years of neglect was sobering. To prevent such a reality from stymieing the potential of Palmera in the future, the Union announced its intention to reach out to investors to encourage the development of the nations shipbuilding industry, even as the long-term project of establishing domestic facilities continues over the next decade.[/sub]

[sup]Persia, a name that invokes memories of countless ancestral glories. From the ancient Median Empire, Achaemenid Empire, Seleucid Empire, Parthian Empire, and Sasanian Empire. Persia was to be both feared and respected around the world. Its name invokes culture, intellect, and strength. But those times have long passed, and the Persian lion finds itself sick and old. Having suffered from the humiliations of the last century, Persia entered a stage of deep decline under the rule of the Turkic Qajar dynasty. Whose rulers were unable to contend with the constant incursions by the Empires of Britania and Russia. Exposing the weaknesses of the Persian Lion, Russia waged wars to capture land in the Caucasus. Armed with modern weaponry, the Russians would humiliate the Persian armies, they're outdated structure proved unfit to combat the new modernized armies of the west. In a series of wars known as the Russo-Persian Wars, the Persia Empire would lose territories in the Treaty of Gulistan, Treaty of Turkmenchay, and the Treaty of Akhal. The British Empire was quick to enforce its unfair treaties on Persia. Nasser-e-Din Shah's reign was not able to prevent Britain and Russia from encroaching into regions of traditional Persian influence. Britain also extended its control to other areas of the Persian Gulf during the 19th century. Meanwhile, by 1881, Russia had completed its conquest of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, bringing Russia's frontier to Persia's northeastern borders and severing historic Persian ties to the cities of Bukhara and Samarqand. Several trade concessions by the Persian government put economic affairs largely under British control. By the late 19th century, many Persians believed that their rulers were beholden to foreign interests. The Qajar Dynasty had proven itself too weak and unreliable to maintain Persian integrity. Two important historical events would seal the fate of the Qajar Dynasty, the first being, the Constitutional Revolution, and the 1st World War. These two important events would further deteriorate the Qajar's ability to rule, reaching its worst when the Qajar's lost control outside of a few cities. Ahmad Shah Qajar would be the last of the Qajar Dynasty. Under his rule, Ahmad attempted to repair the damage done by his predecessors, but his lack of popular support, even amongst his military would bring his downfall. Reza Khan was the leader of the entire Cossack Brigade, based in Qazvin he marched towards Tehran and seized the capital in a military coup. He forced the dissolution of the government and installed Zia al-Din Tabatabaie as the new Prime Minister. Reza Khan's first role in the new government was Commander-in-Chief of the Army and the Minister of War. Two years after the coup, Seyyed Zia appointed Reza Pahlavi as Persia's prime minister, backed by the compliant national assembly of Persia. In 1925, Reza Pahlavi was appointed as the legal monarch of Persia by the decision of the constituent assembly. The assembly deposed Ahmad Shah Qajar, the last Shah of the Qajar dynasty, and amended Iran's 1906 constitution to allow the selection of Reza Pahlavi as the new Shah of Persia. One of the Shah's first actions was the changing of the national name to Iran. The reasoning was that his rule marked a new chapter in Persian history, the chapter of national rebirth for the Persian Lion.[/sup]

THE BELGIAN COLONY OF THE CONGO[/pre][/list]
______
Governor-General Pierre Ryckmans has "Dream of Revelation" regarding the Congo and Restructures Colonial Administration; Designated Congolese Elites to be Constructed to begin "Civilization of Native Enlightenment" Initiative
[sub]Le gouverneur général Pierre Ryckmans a un "rêve de révélation" concernant le Congo et restructure l'administration coloniale ; Des élites congolaises désignées à constituer pour lancer l'initiative "Civilisation des Lumières autochtones"[/sub]
Bénédiction soit sur le Congo!
[sub]Pierre Ryckmans, Governor-General | Léopoldville, 1935[/sub][/list]
[sub]| Vive le Congo |[/sub]
The Governor-General's mansion was a spectacle to the Congolese natives. Riddled and adorned with European architecture, built off the work of enslaved Congolese, the mansion stood as the epicenter of power and authority for the Congolese colonial administration of Governor-General Pierre Ryckmans since 1934. Currently, the Belgian Congo has continued to be hit badly hit by the economic crisis triggered by the Great Depression. The European population in the Belgian Congo (23,000 in 1931) has dropped to just 18,000. Harsh reforms introduced by the previous Governor-General, Auguste Tilkens, had discouraged employees working in the civil service. The Belgian devaluation of 1935, under the Paul Van Zeeland government, has further enabled Governor-General Ryckmans to lower duties on imports and raise duties on exports, balancing the colony's budget and sparking initial recovery in the Congo. Rather than staying locked away in his own mansion and not desiring to understand the people, the Governor-General made it an imperative to become fully immersed into the complexities of the Congo to better understand responsibilities and the tasks at hand. Realizing the current struggles originating from the Great Depression and a series of disastrous policies from previous Governor-Generals. Exploitation without reinvestment and development of the Congo was no longer an option. For Ryckmans, if the Dutch is to ensure prosperity for the mainland, the Congo has to be developed to the greatest extent. Having already discovered valuable and strategic resources in the Congo, the new colonial administration possesses some flexibility and longevity to its resources.
At the current moment, the mining industry dominates employment as 75% of the Congolese workforce is occupied by this particular trade while the remaining 25% of the workforce is sparsely sprinkled across other primary forms of economic activity. Understanding that foreign direct investment is very little to go around, the colonial administration has to determine the best innovative way to move forward as successful as possible. Thus the first initiative for Ryckmans is the initiation of the Civilization of Native Enlightenment Project, which prioritizes the expansion of a formalized education system and feasible tax code to formulate an internal, stable market and functional currency. To do this, the colonial administration will need to reconfigure the currency and implement new tax cuts to spark better purchasing power over time. For this to be successful long term, the colonial administration has prompted for financial literacy to become a mandatory component of education, including for traditional transhumance economic activities and tribal market regions. Within private channels, the Governor-General confessed to his closest advisors that through self reflections and conversations with tribal leaders, he has started to feel a deep connection to the people of the Congo and an admiration to their passions, identity, and the beauty of the terrain. Thus through this new sentiment, Ryckmans has determined it a life mission to craft the Belgian Congo colony as the most efficient, effective, and prosperous colony not just owned by the Dutch but in the colonial world by putting the wellbeing of the Congolese at the center of his policies to further give a greater prosperity for Belgium.
Natural Resources of Belgian Congo
Possessing a swath of large scale untapped natural resources exceeding $24 trillion, the future of the Congo is extremely bright and vast. The territory itself contains diamonds, gold, copper, cobalt, cassiterite (tin ore) and coltan, as well as timber, coffee, oil and natural gas, Cassiterite, wolfram, uranium, peat (used for electricity generation or processed as an alternative for firewood), gold and Nickel. In addition to this, the country has other precious stones such as amphibolite, granites, quartzite, volcanic rocks, clay, sand and gravel, extensive hydropower, vanadium, wildlife forests, and the list continues. The Congo, although unaware of its natural blessings and beauty, will one day rise to become the beating heart of the African continent and a major artery to the future globalized world.

[list]THE KINGDOM OF ARABIA - AL-MAMLAKAH AL-ARABIYAH
[sub]"Allah, Al-Malik, Al-Watan"[/sub][/list]
King Abdulaziz Recognizes Egyptian Coup, New Alliance Signed
December, 1935
-
Having provided tacit support for the coup, the Kingdom of Arabia finds a new ally in the new islamist King Farouk of Egypt of the Sudan.
_____________
Months before the restoration, Riyadh became aware of the exiled King Farouk and his plans to overthrow the fascist government of Ahmed Hussein and the Young Egypt Party. Along with the British government, Arabia had offered support for a restorative coup. Should it succeed, King Abdulaziz pledged to recognize Farouk's sovereignty over Egypt and Sudan and seek good relations with a fellow islamist-centered Arab absolute monarchy, given the seeming expansion of socialism and secularism gripping the Middle East. As soon as news of Farouk and the Royal Egyptian Army's success reached Riyadh, an official recognition was issued: the Kingdom of Arabia recognizes Farouk as King of Egypt and Sovereign of Sudan, Darfur, and Kordofan, and as the sole legitimate political authority in the country.
Following this and having given Farouk time to stabilize his rule, Arabian diplomats reached out to propose a diplomatic meeting to formalize a possible alliance with Egypt. This has been the result of a minor struggle within Al Saud over the matter of neutrality. Foreign Minister Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has already advanced an official doctrine of neutrality, up to and including opposing an official alliance with Egypt but still maintaining support and recognition for Farouk's reign. But even in the neutralist faction and the so-called 'liberal' faction, there is still immense concern for the region. Leftism and secularism seemed to be taking root in the Middle East, as socialists of one form or another now ruled in Baghdad and Ankara. This concern is heightened as the Soviet Union seemed to be espanding its influence into the Balkans as well, encroaching on Muslim lands. For a time, Faisal counted on support from Azimi and other liberals to maintain neutrality, but he found himself alone in that endeavor too. Azimi's civilian background and modernist leanings had led to allegations of crypto-communism and secularism, with King Abdulazizs brother Muhammed and his son the Crown Prince both viewing Azimi as a threat to royal and tribal hegemony. Azimi's faction saw alliance with Egypt as an opportunity to dispel such concerns and show loyalty to Al Saud. When the time for a decision came, Faisal found he had lost his fathers support and was commanded he would accept the alliance or lose his position as Foreign Minister.
With Faisal temporarily out of the King's good graces, he was left out of the diplomatic trip. Instead, Abdulaziz and Azimi would travel personally to meet Farouk and the new government in Cairo. Abdulaziz found envy and optimism in Cairo, the millennium old beating heart of the Nile. More people live in Cairo and the surrounding area than in any one emirate of the Arabian Kingdom. He met Farouk personally for the first time in an opulent palace, much juxtaposed with the massive desert fortress Abdulaziz reigned from. The men were similarly different, Abdulaziz in his simple tribal robes and Farouk in his glistening tailored royal attire. And yet the men are said to have had much in common, conversing for hours on Islam, politics, art, culture, and the future of the Middle East. An agreement was drafted by their deputies, but at the end of a second day of meetings the two men signed personally. Ratified on December 22, the Kingdom of Egypt and the Kingdom of Arabia now recognized The Treaty of Mutual Recognition and Cooperation. The treaty affirms recognition for both men and their governments, as well as Egypt crucially recognizing Arabias eventual claim to the whole of Arabian peninsula. It establishes free trade between the two nations, hopefully letting foreign goods flow into Arabia and oil flow into Egypt. Perhaps most important, it acknowledges Egypt and Arabia as so-called brother countries and emphasizes their support for Islamic Monarchy as the proper form of government in the broader Middle East.
With a new Shah in Iran and socialists gaining power in Egypt, the region seems primed for a conflict of ideologies. But diplomatically, the Arab states remain close as both fascist Egypt and Baathist Iraq provided crucial men and material for Arabia in the war against Yemen. For now, Farouk and Abdulaziz are the twin Arab Kings in a rapidly changing Middle East.

[pre]THE POWER OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY: GERMANIA LAYS DOWN PLAN TO STRENGTHEN ARMED FORCES IN ACCORDANCE WITH "CHANCELLERY STRATEGIC PLAN SHIELD"[/pre][/list][/list]
| In the First World War, Germany was forced into surrender following the immature capitulation of its allies Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, resulting in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles and the subsequent humiliation of Germany. Under the governments of Heinrich Bruning, Paul von Hindenburg and now Adolph Heidler, Germany has sought to remain neutral on most global issues with the exception of China, where it has been backing the Nationalist government with advisors. However, with the advent of the Mare Nostrum mutual defense cordiale and the forming of a possible anti-Germany bloc in Europe, things have changed. Seeking to ensure that in the eventuality of a conflict with the Mare Nostrum cordiale Germany would be able to successfully defend its home territories, particularly in the south and along the border with France, the Staatskanzlei issued "Chancellery Strategic Plan Shield", a comprehensive plan directing the Ministry of Defense to make proper preparations in terms of planning for a possible war and preparing for said war with the production of additional arms and vehicles. Of this directive, the Staatsminister of Defense, General Werner von Blomberg, said: |
[list][list][pre]Es ist notwendig, dass sich Deutschland auf alle Eventualitäten vorbereitet, einschließlich der Möglichkeit einer Mare-Nostrum-Offensive gegen den deutschen Staat über Frankreich und vielleicht auch über die österreichischen Alpen. Gegenwärtig sind die deutschen Streitkräfte für einen solchen Konflikt, insbesondere entlang der Front zu Frankreich, noch schlecht gerüstet, und es müssen daher unverzüglich Anstrengungen unternommen werden, um dies zu ändern. Mit der richtigen Ausrüstung, der richtigen Doktrin und starken Streitkräften wird Deutschland in der Lage sein, jedem Angriff zu widerstehen und seine Autarkie und Unabhängigkeit zu sichern.[/pre]
[pre]It is necessary that Germany prepare for any and all outcomes, including the possibility of a Mare Nostrum offensive against the German state through France and perhaps through the Austrian Alps as well. At the current, Germany's armed forces remain ill-equipped for such a conflict, particularly along the front with France, and as such efforts must immediately be made to change that. With the proper equipment, the proper doctrine and a strong armed forces, Germany will be able to resist any attack and ensure its self-sufficiency and independence.[/pre][/list][/list]
| Following a week-long comprehensive review by the Ministry of Defense, General Blomberg countersigned KANZELRAMT STRATEGISCHER PLAN SCHILD, which directed that (1) Germany bolster its armed forces to 600,000 personnel by December of 1936, or one year from now, (2) that Germany as soon as possible begin mass production of armored vehicles and Panzers to strengthen its armed forces, (3) that Germany strengthen its navy to compete with the likes of the French Navy and the Regia Marina, and lastly (4) develop defensive structures and emplacements along the Franco-German border. Additional plans to equip Germany's armed forces with proper and modern equipment as well as with extensive training were also laid down. |
| The plan made clear the Leder's 'vested interest' in seeing the German Armed Forces be strengthened to 'acceptable and overachieving' levels by the 1938-1939 period, and perhaps even sooner. Heidler made clear in a speech to the Reichstag, now fully occupied by the DVP, that 'defense of the country is totally and utterly paramount' and 'threats to Germany's interests are now at such a level that our military must and will be prepared to retaliate against them'. Development of the Panzer II (PzKpfw II) has also been spurred onwards by the implementation of the Kanzelramt Strategischer Plan Schild. |

19/December/1935,marks the end of the Maziyan civil war.It wasn't very long but Maziya now has to enter a period of rebuilding to get everything back to what they were pre-civil war.After one last assault Adam Qshairi waved a white flag for a seize fire.Adam Qshairi and his followers would be arrested on the mark of treason against the sultan and would be the first prisoners onboard Maziya first prison ship which had suffered multiple delays due to the civil war but would be finished at just the right timing for the Qshairi revolters to be the first inmate's.Any prisoners on the sultan side was freed from their prisons in the Qshairi revolution base and after that event sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz is considering a new policy for the government which will even include him within the power of the policy.The policy is currently in the writing phase to try and remove any potential loop holes any future ambitious politicians may find.The new policy would be called the "Maziya Leader Election" for the people of Maziya to vote for who they think would be best to lead Maziya and if they don't do well enough the policy includes that the people of Maziya can make a request to the sultan who will only have minor power if they aren't leading the nation.To make a new vote to remove the present leader from his position and elect a new leader if he is doing a poor job.The policy is planned to be used starting in the 1st of June,1936.

[pre]SWORD MANEUVERS: GERMAN ARMY, AIR FORCE AND ARMORED PANZERS OPERATE TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME AT BUHL[/pre][/list][/list]
| The town of Buhl, located approximately 15 kilometers from the French border and located in the South Rhine (not part of the demilitarized Rhineland), was home to an estimated 1,000 German soldiers of the 201st Infantry Battalion of the Heer, Germania's ground army. Alongside them were components of the 8th Air Wing from Stuttgart, as well as an armored force of 85 Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. A light armored tanks, newly rolled off the production lines also from Stuttgart. Over the past month or so these forces were pulled together to Buhl, a small town near the border with France, to conduct the first 'combined arms' exercise with the new equipment of the German Army, German Air Force and the new Panzers. Staatsminister of Defense Gen. Werner von Blomberg and Vice Chancellor Franz Joseph von Neuwerk were in attendance of the exercises, with the former writing in his report back to Berlin following the conclusion of the exercises: |
[list][list][pre]Ich bin stolz, berichten zu können, dass die Schwertmanöver außerordentlich gut verlaufen sind. Durch kombinierte Waffenübungen, die in der Umgebung von Buhl durchgeführt wurden, konnten wir die Legitimität meiner Theorien über den Kampf und insbesondere die neue Bedeutung von Luftfahrzeugen und Luftüberlegenheit im Bodenkampf unter Beweis stellen. Wir konnten auch die Stärke und Macht unserer neuen Panzerkampfwagen I unter Beweis stellen, und da die Entwicklung eines Nachfolgers bereits im Gange ist, kann ich mit Zuversicht sagen, dass Germania auf dem besten Wege ist, seine Streitkräfte auf ein angemessenes Niveau zu heben.[/pre]
[pre]I am proud to report that the Sword Maneuvers have gone extraordinarily well. Through combined arms exercises conducted around Buhl, we have been able to prove the legitimacy of my theories on combat and particularly the new importance of aircraft and air superiority in ground combat. We have also been able to prove the strength an might of our new Panzerkampfwagen I armored vehicles, and with the development of a successor already ongoing I am confident in saying that Germania is well on its way to bolstering its armed forces to a well and proper level.[/pre][/list][/list]
| As hinted by Blomberg's report back to Berlin, the exercises went extraordinarily well. A series of combat maneuvers, particularly simulating a skirmish with French forces along the border between Germany and France, resulted in success for the German forces, with pilots being able to take out enemy forces before they could even reach the frontline battlegrounds and with armored vehicles piercing through enemy defenses. While the exercises, which are now expected to be held every few months to further try and test Blomberg's combined arms doctrine, new observations suggested that Germany needed to strengthen its anti-tank capabilities as with the rise of the Panzer, there was bound to be foreign competition. Of this observation, Blomberg said: |
[list][list][pre]Wie bei jeder neuen technologischen Entwicklung, insbesondere im militärischen Bereich, ist mit Sicherheit damit zu rechnen, dass irgendwann ausländische Konkurrenz auftauchen wird. Wir sollten sicherstellen, dass Deutschland bereit und gerüstet ist, mit dieser Konkurrenz umzugehen, wenn sie auftritt. Daher werde ich der Regierung förmlich vorschlagen, in die Erforschung und Entwicklung größerer Panzerabwehrfähigkeiten innerhalb der deutschen Armee zu investieren, um uns in die Lage zu versetzen, feindlichen Panzern auf dem Schlachtfeld vorsorglich zu begegnen. Der Schwerpunkt sollte auf dem Einsatz besserer Panzerabwehrartillerie und von Flugzeugen liegen, die für eine "Close Air Support"-Rolle geeignet sind.[/pre]
[pre]As with any new technological development, particularly military, it should most certainly be expected that foreign competition will eventually arise. We should ensure that when these competition do arise, Germany is ready and equipped to deal with them. As such I will formally suggest to the Government that investments be made into researching and developing greater anti-tank capabilities within the German Army to allow us to counter enemy armor on the battlefield as a precaution. Emphasis should be made on the use of better anti-tank artillery and aircraft suited to a 'close air support' role.[/pre][/list][/list]
| The success of the exercise received great applause from Berlin, where two days after its conclusion the Chancellor praised the 'might of the German Army' and declared that within a few years' time, Germany would once more rise to great military prominence. |

MOŚCICKI AND THE SOCIALIST PARTY WIN A STUNNING VICTORY!
September 8, 1935
| The 1935 election had been heralded as one of the most important in Polish history, and this time around, voters chose change over the status quo. |
| Since the 1926 coup, the Sanation movement's BBWR had won two elections, the first in 1928 and the second in 1931. This gave Sanation's leaders, First Marshal Józef Piłsudski chief among them, a sense of legitimacy - the people had voted them into power, and would not have done so if they did not support Sanation's cause of "cleaning up politics". But of the two elections, 1928 was the only truly free one - failing to earn an absolute majority in 1928, the BBWR rigged the 1931 election, arresting many opposition leaders without warrants in the lead-up to the election. On suspicions of organising a coup, 20 leaders of parties opposing the BBWR were imprisoned in the Brest Fortress for much of election season and during voting, and the BBWR more than doubled its share of the vote. |
| Ignacy Mościcki, then leader of the BBWR in the Sejm and Prime Minister of Poland, had been left out of decisionmaking on these authoritarian moves, and dramatically resigned, despite his party winning the election. Defecting to the Polish Socialist Party, for the last four years he has campaigned on ending Sanation, and bringing about a return to liberal democracy in Poland. Though he had been Prime Minister from the 1926 coup until his resignation from the BBWR, his decision to resign despite the guarantee of four years in office if he stayed, and his outspoken anti-Sanation comments despite the threat of arrest, had convinced many Poles that Mościcki had made an about turn politically. Additionally, his premiership during the height of the Great Depression - relatively well managed by the BBWR when compared to other European nations - helped counter the BBWR's argument that "a Socialist government would be economic suicide". |
| In the Sejm, the Polish Socialist Party gained not just the 41 seats it lost in the 1931 election, but a further 105, cutting deeply into the BBWR's ill-gotten gains from 1931. This was a plurality but not a majority - the party had 169 seats but needed 222 to form a majority government. With the backing of the three Peasant Parties and the National Workers' Party, the reformed Centrolew (Centre-Left) coalition had 210 seats. Symbolically, it was the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance - the dominant, and notably right-wing, party among the Ukrainian minority - which declared its support for Mościcki and got the Socialist-led government across the line. |
| The BBWR has fractured between those loyal to Piłsudski's declared successor, Edward Rydz-Śmigły, under the name "Camp of National Unity", and those loyal to now former Prime Minister Walery Sławek, called the "Common Organization of the Society". While the latter party seems to retain much of the BBWR's ideology, the former has adopted some fairly divisive militarist and antisemitic policies. |
| After being officially sworn in by the King, Ignacy Mościcki has returned to Belweder, the official residence of the Polish Prime Minister. He is the head of a new agenda - an agenda not puppeteered by a small group of men working outside the parliamentary sphere, opposing the will of Parliament, but instead organised and debated by a caucus of progressive politicians, eager to wipe the creeping authoritarianism from Polish politics. Mościcki stands as a man familiar to the role of Prime Minister, yet at the same time, a fresh change to the last 9 years. A new day dawns for the Kingdom of Poland, and while hardships remain, and hard work still needs to be done, there is a sense of optimism about the nation... |
[spoiler="Since 1926, the Socialist Party has said, 'No more! No more of Sanation, no more stifling of liberties in the name of anti-corruption!'
Today, the people of Poland have echoed this call, with their ballots they have signed the mandate which says we must return to true democracy.
It is true that Polish politics was dirty, I have heard of many an unsavoury deal done between those of power and those of wealth.
But today we say again, no more...Polish politics is clean, let us return to that great liberal democratic tradition alongside such great brotherly nations
as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States."
- Ignacy Mościcki, Prime Minister of Poland (1926 - 1931, 1935 - )]

[list]| Following the end of the Maziyan Civil War, Greeks were excited that this foreign war had come to an end, and that peace could once more be restored. However, this was not the case, in fact the complete opposite. The Greeks were not at all credited for the victory, simply pushed aside as a foreign power intervening in the civil war of its ally. In response to this, Athens clapped back with a roaring speech by Ioannis Metaxas, declaring that Greco-Maziyan relations have hit an all time low, and that Maziya should be shamed for taking the victory credit for themselves. After all, it was Greece who provided most of Maziya's guns, tanks and equipment to fight the civil war. With tensions heating up between Athens and Permata Bersinar (Maziyan Capital), war is imminent, following the mobilization of Maziyan troops to the Greek garrison in the North. Should war break out, Greece is prepared, as the convoys sent from Greece to Maziya are soon returning back to Greece with an additional 1,500 men and 25 tanks, ready to fight if conflict breaks out. | [/list]

| Following what seems to be the start of hostilities between the Kingdom of Maziya and the Republic of Greece following an alleged fallout in relations according to Greek authorities over the most trivial of reasons, the German Government was divided on whether to act or ignore the situation. Maziya was after all a tiny micronation in Far East Asia, with no connection with Germany whatsoever besides a small consulate at Permata Bersinar. A Greek occupation of the territory would not be of any issue to Germany whatsoever. However, with the backing of the Staatsminister of Defense and the commanding officer of the German Heer (Army), Chancellor Heidler was convinced that supporting Maziya was necessary to keep 'oversized Greek ambitions' in check, to 'allow for the Army to sufficiently test its weapons under Maziyan command', and to curb further Greek expansionism. The possible threat of the Mare Nostrum also looms large. Two days after the announcement of Greek intervention in Maziya, the Staatskanzler announced the following before the Reichstag in a message that was relayed to the Maziyan government through the German consulate in Permata Bersinar: |
[list][list][pre]Es wird nun für notwendig erachtet, dass Deutschland in seinem besten Interesse den mazedonischen Staat so weit unterstützt, wie es realistischerweise möglich ist.

Diese Waffen werden der mazedonischen Regierung so bald wie möglich zur Verfügung gestellt und stellen die Gesamtheit der deutschen Bemühungen zur Unterstützung der Regierung des Landes dar. Wir werden keine Schritte unternehmen, um militärische Einheiten deutschen Ursprungs zu stationieren oder in das griechische Festland einzudringen, und wir werden uns auch nicht in die Mare Nostrum cordiale einmischen.[/pre]
[pre]It is now deemed necessary that Germany must, in its best interests, support the Maziyan state as much as it realistically can. While we cannot provide men or large arms, Germany will do its very best to provide 16,500 Gewehr 98 bolt action rifles and 1,500 Karbiner 98k bolt action rifles, as well as 25 Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf A armored vehicles, 12 AGO Ao 192 transport aircraft, 8 Dornier Do 17 night bombers, and 30 Arado Ar 66 fighter biplanes. These weapons will be provided to the Maziyan government as soon as possible and will constitute all of Germany's efforts to support the country's government. We will not make any move to deploy military units of German origin or any maneuver to penetrate Greek mainland territory, nor will we intrude upon the Mare Nostrum cordiale.[/pre][/list][/list]

| On a sunny morning at the Imperial Palace, the lightness of the air along with the ray of sunlight hovered over the Palace gardens, nearby there were some Gungnyeo which means palace women, they had the main function of waiting outside of chambers of the Emperor and any other members of the Korean Imperial Family. But today was different, Yi Geon warned everyone that he would have an extremely important personal visit this morning and that no one should enter the chambers of the Crown Prince. After the conversation Yi Geon had with His Imperial Majesty, he decided that he would be willing to get involved in the current political development in Joseon, which would be to support the rise of Prime Minister Choi, when it comes to the so-called Korean Fascism, and he will leave put aside your love scandals for a while His important visitor would be the Prime Minister. |
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | As you well know, I had some scandals that were not well regarded by the Imperial Court of Joseon, as you already know?... I mean, as everyone already knowshaha. Therefore, I am more than interested in getting more involved in the current political developments taking place on the peninsula.[/list]
[list][list]| The Prime Minister leans back in his chair and unbuttons one of the toothpick buttons. |[/list][/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | Well, that would be totally beneficial, Your Highness!... If we have the same ideological thoughts, the Crown Princes support will be crucial to the rise of Korean fascism and the gaining of more supporters for our cause! After all, the Crown Prince, like His Majesty the Emperor, strongly represents the Imperial Family.[/list]
| One thing was for sure, Yi Geon would aim to bring fascist thoughts to the Imperial Palace and involve the Imperial Family in the new fascist principles being shaped, but that actually wouldnt be as outrageous as the Crown Princes love affairs. Support a fascist ideology? This is something that even Emperor Jeong is supporting, and now the Crown Prince will be involved in it, but Yi Geon will further involve the Imperial Court in Prime Minister Chois plans. |
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | My interest in Korean fascism is clear, I am totally committed to transforming this peninsula into something unique made just for Koreans into ideals that are inspired by Europe, specifically Italy, but that you idealized a kind of Korean fascism, now we have our own ideology! An ideology that was formed by a Korean leader like you, thats something inspiring, as you said yourself that Mussolini is a genius. Although I am a naturalized Japanese, I am still Korean and I became Crown Prince of Joseon, so I will support any ideas on these principles.[/list]
[list][list]| A slight smile on the Prime Ministers face is an expression of joy for His Imperial Highness. |[/list][/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | Im honored Your Highness... and I totally agree with you, I still say again Mussolini is a geniushaha. We need a strong Korean government on this peninsula, we will establish an administration that guarantees the safety of citizens and above all LAW AND ORDER and with that we will be building a new Korea... Your Highness, we are writing history, we will be great leaders for future generations Under fascism we will move forward!!![/list]
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | Great decisions make a great nation... Korea will be led along the true path of our ideals.[/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | Exactly, Your Highness.[/list]
[list][list]| After the two continued to talk, Yi Geon changed the subject of the meeting to something related to Europe. |[/list][/list]
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | What is your position on the conflict between Italy and Ethiopia?... or rather, between Mussolini and Ethiopia?[/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | I have already announced recently that Korea fully supports Italys nationalist efforts and also supports Italys invasion of Ethiopia... Mussolini will conquer countries and spread his ideological principles of fascism.[/list]
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | Just like were going to start doing here in Korea.[/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | Indeed, Your Highness.[/list]
[list][list]| His Highness rose from his chair, went to the window of his chambers and looked out while his head was in a whirlwind of thoughts. |[/list][/list]
| With the Crown Prince standing in front of the window overlooking the garden, he gently extended his right arm and opened the window just to circulate the air as the room was filled with smoke from the Prime Ministers cigar. Yi Geon then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the Prime Minister. |
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | Do you have any information about the plan to eradicate terrorism?[/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | I would not use the word eradicate, Your Highness... because the measures that were approved by Parliament and the State Council are measures that will prevent the increase of terrorism in the peninsula, but as we know the KLA is very strong.[/list]
[list]| YI GEON, [sub]The Crown Prince[/sub] | I understand, Mr. Prime Minister... what is the government doing is a strategy to fight terrorists through laws?[/list]
[list]| CHOI JUNG-HOON, [sub]Yeonguijeong[/sub] | Not just the laws, but also through our special anti-terrorist police force who use force if necessary.[/list]

Speech by VAROS DEVORCEK. THE AMBASSADOR AND DEFENDER OF NEUTRALITY SPEECH!
"Hello people of Czechoslovakia! I want to open the speech with a quote of mine. International politics is like a live organism. As diseases, Parasites, infections affect living organisms. So I must say Tyranny is infectious and dangerous and must be suppressed! As we can see the world is changing rapidly, some say for the worst others don't. So yes and no, but the topic I must speak of is international politics, and politics in general. Which seems as is on a crash course towards the worst! As a neutral nation, I see it essential to defend other neutral Nations. As see the violence in Ethiopia and Maziya, the question must be asked what is the point of this?! Nations are built on cultures, traditions, customs, and most importantly people of their nations. So please the countries with the power to stop this instantly, I ask why? These nations have done nothing to the governments and the people. If you make the action to stop it, then why won't you?! Don't put resources over people. As I said this Tyranny is dangerous, unethical. So as it seems powers surround us, we must defend ourselves and other neutral powers. As no one else will look upon this problem. To the other Nations with power. The USA, USSR, France, Germany, China, Italy, UK. You are able to stop this now! Now I say, you know your power. Yet you never use it for the better good, if anything you cause it. THIS PROBLEM IS INFRONT YOUR EYES (he yelled)! DO YOU NOT SEE IT! I hope you see this! Change it!"
Devocek ends the Speech and walks off.

[pre]THE UNIFICATION OF THE GERMAN PEOPLES: ANSCHLUSS OF AUSTRIA INTO THE GERMAN STAAT[/pre][/list][/list]
| As German soldiers marched through the city of Salzburg, Austria, near the Austro-German border, both Austrians and Germans alike looked onward to the future with great expectations and higher aspirations. On 30 December 1935, Staatskanzler Adolph Heidler issued a formal letter to the Chancellor of Austria pressuring him into supporting an 'Anschluss' or unification with Germany, considering the common language, culture and history. Since Heidler's rise to power Germany had been pressuring Austria into leaning towards Germany in a bid to prepare it for eventual annexation, but such events only began in earnest in 1935 with the rise of the Vaderland (Fatherland) Front in Austria. Under pressure from pro-unification activists, the Austrian Chancellor on 4 January 1936 announced that a referendum would be held over whether or not to unify with the German Staat to the north. Portraying the referendum as a betrayal of the popular will of both Austria and Germany, the government in Berlin threatened invasion and secretly pressured the Austrian Chancellor into resigning. |
| The referendum was scheduled for 10 January 1936 by the Austrian authorities. On the day before the referendum was scheduled to be held, units of the Wehrmacht crossed the Austro-German border and the forces of Germany entered Austria. The troops marching inward were received, to their surprise, by cheering Austrian crowds waving flags and giving flowers. The German Army (Heer) considered the 'invasion' the first major test of its newfound combined arms capabilities, but found that it would in fact not get tested as the Austrian Government had ordered its military not to resist. That afternoon, the Leder with a powerful escort visited his hometown just across the Austrian border, being received by cheering Austrian and German crowds. Wilhelm Frisch, the Staatsminister of the Interior, reported the following on the morning of 10 January, after visiting the Chancellor's hometown as part of his entourage: |
[list][list][pre]Viele Deutsche sowohl in Österreich als auch in Deutschland sehen dieses Ereignis als den Abschluss vieler Jahrzehnte und Jahrhunderte voller Irrungen und Wirrungen. Beide Länder, die durch Kultur, Sprache, Rasse und Volk verbunden sind, haben sich endlich entschlossen, das zu tun, was getan werden musste, nämlich sich miteinander zu vereinigen. Diese Wiedervereinigung war längst überfällig. Da die österreichische Bevölkerung dem Vereinigungsprozess sehr aufgeschlossen gegenüberstand, hat der Staatskanzler beschlossen, den Kurs zu ändern und Österreich stattdessen vollständig in Germanien zu integrieren.[/pre]
[pre]Many Germans in both Austria and Germany see this event as the conclusion of many decades and centuries of twists and turns. Both countries, united by culture, language, race and people, have finally decided to do what needed to be done, that being unification with one another. Long overdue, this unification was. Seeing how receptive the Austrian people were to the unification process, the Staatskanzler has decided to change course and instead fully integrate Austria into Germania.[/pre][/list][/list]
| On 13 January 1936, the first German units marched into Austria to even more jubilant crowds. By 14 January what little resistance there was to the unification had been mostly peacefully put down, and on 15 January Chancellor Heidler landed in Vienna, announcing the Anschluss of Austria into the German Staat to the Austrian and German people directly. |

Successive new military alliances- the Mare Nostrum and Black Sea Pacts- have sent ripples through the Arab world and sent governments scrambling to ensure their security. Changes in government in Egypt and Iraq have brought monarchism back to the ideological forefront, and a new Shah takes the throne in Iran. As Turkey falls to leftism and comes under Soviet influence, Arabia must look to Europe for larger allies. Fortunately, a positive relationship already exists with the once-foe of Great Britain who had proved instrumental in Al Sauds rise to power in the peninsula. But with them remaining the sole European influence on the peninsula, they also pose a possible strategic challenge to King Abdulazizs mission of Arabian unification. Shortly after his return from Egypt the King departed again for the coastal city of Jeddah to meet with British representative Charles Belgrave. For nigh on a decade now Belgrave had served as an eminence grise in Bahrain. Accompanying him was the formal Emir of Bahrain, Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa and the Emir of Qatar, Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani. Both men were crucial to British influence in the peninsula. Notably in attendance were representatives of British Petroleum. With him, King Abdulaziz brought his own supposed eminence grise, Badri al-Azimi, and Foreign Minister Faisal Al Saud.
Over the course of three days, the men would hammer out an agreement that would prove another major victory in Abdulazizs pan-Arabist crusade: the Treaty of Jeddah. The agreement is a long-term strategic victory for Arabia, with the following being its major provisions:
[sub][list]- Bahrain and Qatar will be annexed into the Kingdom of Arabia as two equal Emirates, retaining the current Emirs and marrying their heirs into the House of Saud
- Britain will be permitted continued use of naval bases in both areas on an indefinite basis
- Arabia pledges no northward military expansion, particularly into Transjordan, Kuwait, or Iraq
- Profits from oil extraction in Bahrain and Qatar will be managed identically to SoCal concessions in Dammam, with profits being divided as follows: 75/25 in 1940, 65/35 in 1950, 50/50 in 1960, 40/60 in 1970, 30/70 in 1980, full ownership to the Arabian government in 1985
- Affirmation of Great Britain and Arabia as friends and partners, with London acknowledging Riyadh as the rightful inheritor of the whole of the Arabian Peninsula[/sub][/list]
As with previous expansions, the Treaty of Jeddah has only further increased King Abdulazizs popularity at home. In a public address, the Prime Minister and Crown Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz al Saud declared his father to be: the only successful Arab Nationalist, a statement that has been met with some controversy in the press. The treaty comes at a time of generally heightened Arab success and cohesion, but also of heightened tension and uncertainty. The so-called Three Kings of Mashriq (Abdulaziz, Faisal of Iraq, and Farouk of Egypt) are set to meet in the spring for another pan-Arab conference in Baghdad, discussing the recent expansion of Soviet influence in the region.

On the northern front, the further Italian reinforcement would be noticed by Ethiopian scouts, but Ethiopians would maintain their strategic position in the mountains to evade most shelling encounters. A further 750 machine guns would be sent up to the Northern front to bolster the defense. Meanwhile, bombing campaigns by the Italians would have a minimal effect due to the inaccuracy of the planes flying high above in order to avoid Ethiopian anti-air guns, as well as the rural nature of the supply chain in Ethiopia, mostly provided by small trucks, carriages, and donkeys. Meanwhile, in regards to the chemical bombings, bulk shipments of French gas masks had arrived, being supplied to children in cities first, and then to soldiers on the frontlines. About 250k masks have been shipped so far.
Meanwhile, on the Northern front, 3 Rases would arrive with armies of about 50,000 each. Although not fully trained, they had been given the basic rundown and had been well-armed with modern rifles, artillery, anti-air, and machine guns. One Ras would split his army, one half going to Gondar, the other to Mekele. The Ras of Tigray would raise his army and base it in Abala, while the Ras of Wello based his in Didig Sala. The Ras of Wello instructed his army to engage in hit and run raids and avoid direct confrontation, and decentralized his army even more, in order to avoid massive shelling and bombing in a concentrated spot. They would begin operations as the Italian tank divisions rolled into Teru, capitalizing on the mountainous terrain again, while the tanks suffered in the desert below.
The Hindenburg Wall has begun its finishing touches, manned by the Rases of Shewa, Sidamo, Begemder, Gojjam, Arsi, and Hararghe. The remaining Rases would be charged to garrison duty in the interior of the nation, watching Italian bombing operations. The remaining Rases were stationed in literally every major city within the Hindenburg Wall, leaving about 5,000 soldiers in each city except Addis Adaba, which had 10,000. Cities: Aykel, Debre Tabor, Nefas Meewcha, Motta, Finote Selam, Debre Markos, Fiche, Bahir Dar, Shashamene Zuria, Arba Minch, Keykey, Harar, Waliso, Arba Minch, Yirga Chefe, Shewa Robit, Debre Birhan, Adwa, Aksum, Shire, Mahila, Wikro, Abigudem, Maychew, Alamata, Inda Aba, Sekota, May Cadera, Abdurafi, and much more.. The fortifications would be strategically placed between mountainous regions and intended to be a backup, but the armies of the south had been pretty close to retreating to it.
Finally, in the southern front, 5 armies of 85,000 men each, would be based around Goba, Kontema, Burca, Sagag, and Degeh Bur. The Italians however, were far behind, giving the southern armies a chance to begin battle plans and fortification positions around mountains, as the Italians began to march on from their first captures, through the tiring desert terrain.
-------------
A private deal had been struck with Swedish mercenaries to transport 1,000 of them per month, arriving in small waves, in order not to attract Kenyan colonial government attention, which would then cross the border into Ethiopia. They would fight for this country.
20 new tanks have been bought, which had been specialized for desert warfare.

MAZIYA DOUBLE REVOLVER
With the multi month development time of Maziya double revolver with there being plans for it to enter production and uses during the civil war but it never made it for the civil war as it was deemed too new of a concept to enter combat without extensive development but the double revolver had just been completed and had enter testings with positive remarks on its intended purpose as purely a short range secondary weapon.But a few problems arised as it was built in with TWO magazines requiring for a extensive reload time.The reason behind the two magazines was a simple one after Loke Bao Yi the designer of the double revolver was asked about why it needed two magazines and Loke Bao Yi simply said.
"We experimented with two designs one with two magazines and another with only one,both received very similar results during short testings but during longer testings the two magazine design proved more reliable as the one magazine designed had a tendency to jam and never unjam without having to dismantle the weapon entirely."
The double revolver had simply enter small scale production rather then mass production as the sultan doesn't know if it is gonna be that useful of a weapon and to save cost.As of current only 5 had been made within two weeks.

[B]"In these recent times,I would like to ask for peace with the Kingdom Of Greece...I highly doubt Ionnas Metaxas will accept the offer but I guess I'll just give some credits which I foolishly didn't give after the civil war ended.I would like to thanks the Kingdom Of Greece for their support during the civil war as they helped push the tide of war MASSIVELY in our favour,if it wasn't for them I can say that I wouldn't be standing here in my current position."
After that a telegraph was sent to Ionnas Metaxas for the possibility of peace.

Air Marshal Balbo Finally Approves Strafes to commence in Southern Ethiopia along and near the Hindenburg Wall; Eastern Flank Continues to Push; Mussolini Declares a "Kill All, Raze Earth" Priority to Ethiopia
Playing safe in the air with the Air Force came as a waiting game for Mussolini as Italian reconnaissance on the ground would inform Italian commanders of shifting positions of Ethiopian personnel. Having achieved air superiority with extensive bombers, fighters, transport aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft, Air Marshal Balbo has decided to make the decision to begin orchestrating heavy strafing in Southern Somalia below and on the Hindenburg Wall. Balbo understood that planes would most likely be destroyed; however, that was a risk he was willing to take with overwhelming aerial capacity on limited Ethiopian anti-air capabilities. No more playing safe. It was time to get brutal. The biplane fighter and bomber strafes would be primarily concentrated in Southern and Eastern Ethiopia to assist in the Eastern flank and the open southern portions of Ethiopia. In Northern Ethiopia, the deployed aircraft would be ordered to begin strafing as well understanding the high risks of being targeted; however, Air Marshal Balbo indicated that trying to secure supply lines in mountainous regions are extremely difficult no matter how built or rural they are, especially if said mountainous passages were to be destroyed. Understanding this order, bombing and airplane machine gun strafes would be ordered to target Ethiopians in the North while also dropping bombs onto mountainous passageways to enclose Ethiopian personnel, target whomever is in the targeting zone, and to level the field. Artillery from within Eritrea would increase in tensity; however, the invading force from Eritrea would not begin their invasion just yet.
With Eastern Ethiopia not being as mountainous as Northern Ethiopia as the terrain smooths out prior to Teru, the air campaign provides necessary distraction and assistance to impending tankettes that are designed to operate in desert and non-urban terrain as indicated by the usage of tankettes by the British in their colonial possessions in Africa. However, the arrival of tankettes provides additional assistance to determine where Ethiopians are attacking from; thus giving the Italian ground troops awareness on where to attack and where to avoid. Not caring about village homes, Italian tankettes and light tanks would target installations and buildings to force Ethiopian fighters out while those that attempt to flee are targeted from above via bomb strafes and biplane strafes. The Ethiopian attempts to guerrilla/terrorist attacks of "fire and flee" was to be expected, hence the allowance of Askari to dictate and command the tactical operations for their knowledge of terrain, tribes, and regions. The more lightly armored but versatile and ruthless Askari would comprise most of squadron leadership in addition to operating as bait to bring out Ethiopian raid parties to allow for long range Italian rifleman and artillery units in the distance to pick off Ethiopian fighters. The goal is to push through Teru, regroup with the remains of the 75,000 personnel and then commence a major assault onto Mekele to break the Ethiopian line.
With 3 groups of 25,000 personnel entering Ethiopia from the East with some considerable losses, the 75,000 flank have been ordered to push on with the orders of "Kill All, Raze Earth". In Southern Ethiopia, the same high priority of intensity warfare was ordered to occur where Governor-General Graziani indicated that "no living resisting Ethiopian is allowed...no breath, no glory, no life". Understanding the orders, the 100,000 reinforcements would operate as a confirmation wave to ensure that any and all things left behind the front invading forces of 400,000 is surely destroyed and what remains is captured. Blackshirts and Askari in Southern Ethiopia would continue operations of logistical disruption and "clearing villages" as a guarantee. The 400,000 would begin to position themselves into 4 major waves of 100,000; however, the 100,000 would be broken down into 4 groups of 25,000 to prolong the intense growth in warfare while also decreasing high casualties by avoiding a massive, large scale open target such as 400,000 soldiers in a single push.

RHODESIA SIGNS SECRETIVE LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH U.S.S.R
January 1936
After having already achieved a license from Italy for the L3-35 Tankette, arming it with the French 25mm anti-tank gun, the Rhodesian Armed Forces Commission recommended that many foreign gun designs be considered for a possible new variant of the small Tankette. After much deliberation, the Soviet 45mm M1932 Anti-Tank Gun was chosen as it was small enough to mount onto an open topped Tankette variant while carrying a larger punch than most tanks in the field around the world today. In exchange for a generous license fee it was agreed upon that the gun could be produced locally within Rhodesia, with production limited to a yearly sum which as of yet has been undisclosed. Armed with the 45mm gun, the possible penetration of the low lying tankette turned tank destroyer would be upgraded from around 30mm at 1,000 meters to 54mm which is a huge improvement and essentially guarantees that any tank except in some circumstances the Char B1 Bis can be penetrated at 1,000 meters. It marks the first dealing between the Colony and the Soviet Union, both having previously no incentive to open dialogue to one another. The Foreign Ministry hopes however it can be the fist stepping stone to future relations and trade.

[sub]Austria becomes integrated into the German Staat, Communists form Government in Exile[/sub][/list]

[pre]With the events of January 10 to 15, 1936, the State of Austria has joined its German brothers and sisters in common union. The oldest corner of the German People has at long last become the youngest bulwark of the German nation and hence of the German Staat. Ecstatic celebrations filled the streets of Vienna to herald the arrival Adolph Heidler in the old capital. What awaits the once Austrian, now German people of the Ostmark is unclear, but most anticipate an economic and political renewal that neither the Christian Conservatives nor the Austrofascists were able to deliver.
These tasks will fall on the shoulders of administrators and party apparatchiks from Germany proper. First appointments have already been pronounced: Josef Bürckel as Staatskommissar and Arthur Seyss-Inqart as Statthalter. The old government has been liquidated, no officials remain except for lower level bureaucrats. Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, Schuschnigg, and the remaining leadership of the Fatherland Front have disappeared. Regular members of the party base will be integrated into the new German state.
A "government in exile" comprised of Austrian Communists and Socialists has reportedly been formed in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The full extent of material and financial support from the Soviet authorities is unknown, nor is it known if Communist cells remain active in Austria. Heading the Communist "government in exile" is a committee of former KPOE members, among them Ernst Fischer, Franz Koritschoner, and Johann Koplenig.[/pre]

CZECH REQUEST FOR HELP AND SUPPORT
As of late. Austria united with Germany, again breaking the treaty. The Czech government requested help. The Germans increasingly surround the nation of Czechoslovakia. Actions also taken by the German Government have shown to be increasingly threatening not only the Austrian unity. It's not just to unite the German people. It's for more. As we've had to take pieces of our democracy away, we've introduced conscription. As have 250,000 total personnel. With 80,000 deployed along the border. So our government requests help. We must unite. Do you hear me? We must unite, if there is a common enemy, they must have made an act of evil! Did they? Who knows, but this looks foreboding for us. Czechoslovakia has asked the German government for a non-aggression pact. Yet, this seems not just impossible, beyond it. So We request help for our nation. I must ask this to be looked at. WW1 was bad, but a Second World world war might as well take us back to the stone age. Our technology can be too good for us. So please our Republic needs help.

[sup]Jakarta - Batavia[/sup]
Nusantara - Dutch East Indies[list]
[sup]A Country or a Company?[/sup][/list]
| [sub]What is now the Dominion of Nusantara had first been discovered by Portuguese merchants in the 16th Century; rather than a disunited series of petty kingdoms what they came across was an empire of old barely holding itself together. The Majapahit Empire was in a state of terminal decline, the Hindu empire was losing control in the north of Sumatra as Islam spread like wildfire along the coastline; even in the south the Empires jewels were not safe as Javas influence waned.[/sub] |
| [sub]In 1602 the Dutch East India Company was granted the monopoly on trade and colonial activities in the region despite having no presence in the area. The company quickly became deeply involved in the internal politics of the region particularly on the island of Java; using its influence to help kick out the Portuguese it negotiated the formation of trading ports across the crumbling empire in exchange for some level of protection. Soon towns and ports owned by the VOC (Dutch East India Company) popped up across the empire establishing Dutch domination of the islands.[/sub] |
| [sub]The Majapahit Empire had well and truly ended by the middle of the 17th century; infighting between fledgling petty kingdoms had begun to spread rapidly across the islands creating a headache for the VOC and the Dutch Empire. Seeking to stabilise their dominion they built alliances with several powerful rulers in particular Pakubuwono I of Mataram a Javanese Prince who had fought in several of the conflicts between rulers. Leading the charge to help the Dutch stabilise the East Indies he was favoured by the Dutch to become the king of kings or a great king keeping the locals united (thus making it easier for the VOC to operate) and keep the locals thinking theyre sovereign.[/sub] |
| [sub]In 1799 the VOC had been dissolved and nationalised by the Dutch Government thus creating what was now called the Dutch East Indies, despite not technically being under their direct control the entirety of the archipelago was considered to now be under direct Dutch Government control. A Governor-General was appointed by Amsterdam to be a line of direct communication between the Maharaja and the Government; although many locals believed they were still under their own self-rule.[/sub] |
| [sub]]In 1921 a new Maharaja (Great King) had ascended the throne, Hamengkubuwono VIII was the eighth ruler from the Hamengkubuwono dynasty who also held the title of the Sultan of Yogyakarta. The family held vast property within the Sultanate and in the city of Batavia (Jakarta), a renewed focus of the dynasty was on health and education; for the majority Muslim dominion, the two areas were of utmost importance. Focusing on personal hygiene in particular relating to uncovered sewers and other practices led to a new effort to move sewage underground and making toilets more commonplace. Educating the masses had come great strides following Hamengkubuwonos ascension as a mix of schooling had been introduced with the great mix of religions in Nusantara it was important that all schools gave a basic standard of education, something that was introduced in 1931.[/sub] |
| [sub]By 1936 the growth of Volkist Germany had left the Dutch rather unfocused on Nasantara allowing for the growth of independence movements one gaining particular traction was the Nusantaran Nationalist Party which was founded in 1927 and currently led by Koesno Sosrodihardjo commonly known as Sukarno. The movement is largely sympathetic to growing Japanese nationalism in the region, eying it as an opportunity to gain independence by the back door. Although Nusantara is unlikely to be independent in the near future a shift is slowly happening within the region. Only time will tell whats in store for the dominion as the middle of the century approaches.[/sub] |

[pre]ESTABLISHMENT OF STANDARD ISSUE MAIN ARTILLERY, MAIN COMBAT AIRCRAFT CONFIRMED BY THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE[/pre][/list][/list]
| The main service rifle of the German Army (Heer) as of January 1936 is the Karbiner 98k bolt action rifle. Introduced in 1935, the Karbiner 98k replaced the Gewehr 98 bolt action rifle, which through various iterations has been in service with the Army since 1898, the days of the German Empire. A standard issue rifle for the Army is commonplace across the various ground forces of the nations of the world, as having one main rifle to mass produce and distribute to the armed forces would make it easier to keep them well-supplied and properly equipped for combat. Following a review of the armed forces equipment production and equipment scheme from 12 January to 16 January, it was found by the Armed Forces General Staff, chaired by General Werner von Stresse, that there was a lack of proper organization for the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine, both of which are still nascent parts of the Werhrmacht. General von Stresse remarked at one meeting of the General Staff on 15 January 1936: |
[list][list][pre]Das Heer ist bereits gut organisiert, gut ausgerüstet und gut strukturiert für einen möglichen Konflikt. Seine Schwesterarmeen (Luftwaffe und Kriegsmarine) sind jedoch aufgrund ihres neuen Entwicklungsstandes und der Tatsache, dass sie erst Anfang letzten Jahres eingeführt wurden, noch unvorbereitet. Das Heer verfügt über ein Standard-Kampfgewehr für die Massenproduktion und -verteilung, was es einfacher macht, die Truppen mit dieser für den Kampf erforderlichen Grundausrüstung zu versorgen. Vielleicht sollten wir dasselbe mit der Luftwaffe und einem Standard-Kampfflugzeug und mit dem Heer mit einer Standard-Hauptartillerie für die Massenproduktion tun. Das ist logisch, [/pre]
[pre]The Heer is already well organized, well equipped, well structured for a possible conflict. However its sister branches (Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine) are unprepared due to their novel state of development, and the fact that they have just been introduced, I believe sometime early last year. The Heer possesses a standard combat rifle for mass production and distribution, making it easier to keep troops well supplied with these basic equipment necessary to engage in combat. Perhaps we should do the same with the Luftwaffe and a standard combat fighter and with the Heer with standard main artillery for mass production. It is logical, perhaps even necessary.[/pre][/list][/list]
| The current unofficial main fighters of the Luftwaffe were, according to its doctrine, the Arado Ar 68 night fighter biplane, introduced in 1934, and the Henschel HS 123 ground attack fighter, introduced into operation only last year, 1935. These fighters were in contrast to what Germany's research facilities had in development already obsolete, but in preparation for a possible future offensive or defensive operation it was necessary to possess a strong and capable air force. Following several meetings with the Chancellor regarding the matter, it was decided that the Karbiner 98k rifle and the 7.5cm Feldkanone 16 field gun would be made the standard issue equipment for the Heer and the Arado Ar 68 biplane and the Henschel HS 123 ground attack fighter for the Luftwaffe. The Kriegsmarine as per its doctrine received no changes. |

Dispute of Influence
Recently a hidden dispute of power has emerged in the Yugoslav Royal Navy, officials from two sides have fought for the budget settled for the government. At one side, we have the "Old Guards", veteran admirals from Austrian dominance times, followers of the classical "Fleet in Being" doctrine, focused in the aquistion of powerful capital ships for the Navy. In the other, we have the "Fishermans", a group of young Yugoslav admirals, that defended the Navy focus in coastal and smaller vessels, providing better combat against pirates and other crimes in the Yugoslav waters.
Despiting being, losing most of the "battles" recently, the Old Guards were convinced by the superiority of their doctrine, pointing the results of the Russian-Japanese War and many other examples, something the Fishermans lacked. Other thing that managed to improve the veterans impetus at the government was the further militarization of the countries in Europe, which could put Yugoslavia into a delicate position at the future. After long discussions, the Old Guards managed to get victorious into convincing the government for the aquisition of a new modern battleship for Navy, using old designs from the Austrian-Hungary Navy as base, the Navy command have signed contracts with Triestine shipyards for the construction of this new vessels, looking to cover part of the costs, the Yugoslav Navy has cancelled a contract signed with the Greeks for the aquisition of a heavy cruiser, just two years after being signed.

[sub]Pierre Ryckmans, Governor-General of the Belgian State of the Congo | LEOPOLDVILLE, 1936[/sub][/list]
[sub]| Jimbo la Ubelgiji la Kongo |[/sub]
From the Estate of the Governor-General, Pierre Ryckmans has announced to his administration that he has been able to broker the beginning of a major strategic partnership with Rhodesia for the joint development of both nations for the sanctity, security, and prosperity of Sub-Sahara Afrika. Through agreed upon negotiations, the Colonial Administration has prompted for the zoning of Belgian Congo to determine prioritization for development and economic stimulus instead of the original plan to seek modernization across the entirety of the massive country. As the Congo is already 2/3 the size of Western Europe, Leopoldville has motioned to prioritize the first round of modernization in the Shaba province of Southern Congo, more specifically the Copper Belt. This is vital because the Congo and Rhodesia have agreed to two major hydropower projects that will be shared and operated 50/50 between both nations.
The dams will be at Mambilima Falls and Mambatuta Falls with projected power output of a combined 1,000 MW, which is able to provide sustainable power to more than 900,000 homes in the area. Further benefit comes to the Congo as both dams are located in the Copper Belt; aligning this hydropower with the Colonial Administration's desired goals to prioritize the Copper Belt first for development. With intentions to spur employment and economic growth, Governor-General Ryckmans have firmly begun coordination with the already robust Congolese mining industry to start redirecting a portion of the profits toward investing in risky emerging markets within the Congo, such as the services, education, and transportation sectors.
An additional component to the relationship is the beginning of security cooperation between the Congo and Rhodesia to provide extensive training and professionalism to a new Congolese military and security initiative. Governor-General Ryckmans indicated that the Colonial Administration must be responsible to the Congolese people it governs and must do what governments are intended to do: to secure its people, to foster prosperity, and to represent the interests and will of the governed. Indicated as a high priority, the construction of said dams would begin immediately additionally to expanded endeavors into creating Congolese-based steel for larger infrastructure projects being speculated.

Middle Eastern Nations Denounce Black Sea Pact
January, 1936
-
At the Second Convention of Arab Cooperation, Arab governments and Iran condemn Turkey and the Black Sea Pact.
______________
Following its first iteration in the winter of 1932, Arab nations again came together for the Convention of Arab Cooperation, this time in Riyadh. Notably this time they are also joined by representatives of Iran who are in attendance for a special purpose. In the wake of the formation of the Black Sea Pact and a concerted Soviet effort to expand its influence in the Middle East and Balkans, a rare joint action has been taken. The Kingdom of Iraq, Kingdom of Arabia, Kingdom of Egypt, and Shahdom of Iran are issuing a joint condemnation of the Black Sea Pact and the Second Republic of Turkey in particular. Addressing the conference the Prime Minister and Crown Prince of Arabia, Saud bin Abdulaziz al Saud, said:
[sub]The spread of godlessness and communism in the Muslim World and the Middle East is our greatest threat today. For over a millennium, our people have observed the words of Allah and lived according to them. The Turkish people once observed this too, but now their leaders succumb to the cancer of communism. They have betrayed themselves in doing so. They have betrayed us as well, ripping up the non-aggression pact which for a time brought stability and peace to our region. They have joined the Black Sea Pact and become slaves to the athiests of Moscow. How soon before they spread this even further? To Iraq? To Iran? To even the soon-independent Syrian people?[/sub]
[sub]As a Saud and as an Arab, I am no stranger to Turkish oppression. It has been the goal of Turkish empires for centuries to steal Arab prosperity for themselves. It was the Ottomans who destroyed the first two great Saudi states, Diriyah and Nejd. That they now call themselves socialists changes nothing. Such is the great fear of Istanbul: that the Arabian Peninsula might one day stand united, united against them. But this is not just about Arabs and Turks. So too are our Persian brothers threatened by the destruction of communism. This is not about ethnicity or sect or nation. This is about an ideology that wishes to destroy our way of life and abandon any vestige of loyalty to Allah.[/sub]
[sub]So long as His Majesty and I draw breath, we shall do all we can to drive out the degeneracy and evil of communism in the Middle East. And so I make this call to all of you now: do not sit idly by. Prepare your nations and prepare yourselves for the day that the Russians might send their armies of oppression after you. Strength, unity, and readiness are the only solution.[/sub]

[sub]The start of the Gaelicization project.[/sub][/list]
[sub]Ever since Ireland was occupied by the British 800 years ago, the native Gaelic culture, laws, tradition, and way of life were in decline, being suppressed, was slowly fading away from existence, and the British government attempted to angelize the Irish people. In the 19th - 20th century, many movements like the Gaelic League emerge to preserve their ancient culture and revive it among the people. When Ireland gained its independence from the UK in 1921, the job was passed from the Gaelic League to the State. Fifteen years on, the attempt to Gaelicize the Island again was a slow process, but all of this has now changed.[/sub]
[sub]The de Valera Government began the push for a series of laws and reforms that will Gaelicize Ireland faster and more effetely. The government called this series of reforms and laws the Gallicization project. In January, the government managed to pass through both houses of the Oireachtas an amendment to the constitution, making the Gaelic Irish language the only official language of the state while the English language was reduced from the second official language to a special status within the state. High King Brian II give the amendment his royal assent making it official and into law.[/sub]
[sub]In February, the Government hoped to speed up the Gallicization of Ireland by passing a series of laws such as removing the English class from the official school curriculum throughout the nation and making the Irish Gaelic compulsory in schools. They also passed laws changing jobs and governmental appointment requirements for only hiring people who know the Irish Gaelic as the primary language only. They also passed laws making the Gaelic holidays the official holiday of Ireland and raising the Gaelic sports to the official sports of Ireland, etc. The Government estimates that in 10 or 20 years, the Gaelic language and culture will be the primary language and culture of the Irish people, and the English and Anglo culture will be reduced to minority language and culture.[/sub]
[sub]Few people, mainly British people who are a citizen of Ireland and Anglo-Irish descent, criticized the new laws and reforms as a violation of their human rights. Still, the government chooses to ignore them as their primary concern is to undo the damage done by the British and restore Ireland's identity as a Gaelic Celtic nation.[/sub]

Nusantara - Dutch East Indies[list]
[sup]A Leader in Waiting[/sup][/list]
| [sub]Koesno Sosrodihardjo, known locally as Surkano, had been exiled to the island of Flores with his family in 1934 after Governor-General Bonifacius Cornelis de Jonge realised Surkano was growing in political power across the Dutch East Indies. Surkano had already served a year long prison sentence in 1931 for anti-colonial activities and his leadership of the Nusantara Nationalist Party. A series of widely publicised speeches had made him a local hero in Nusantara and even in the Netherlands which saw him released from prison three years early after an outcry from locals and Dutch nationals alike.[/sub] |
| [sub]Surkano was born in 1901, his father was a Javanese primary school teacher and his mother a Hindu from the Brahmin (a varna and caste). Surkano moved through the colonial education system of the East Indies where at sixteen he met Tjokroaminoto, a nationalist and founder of Sarekat Islam, eventually marrying his daughter.[/sub] |
| [sub]Surkano focused largely on civil engineering in his education, eventually obtaining a degree in 1926, during this time he became romantically involved with the wife of the owner of his boarding house, both divorcing their respective partners they married in 1923.[/sub] |
| [sub]Surkano was described by his colleagues as intensely modern in terms of his architectural style and politics. He despises both the traditional Javanese feudalism, which he considered "backward" and to blame for the fall of the country under Dutch occupation and exploitation, and the imperialism practised by Western countries, which he calls as "exploitation of humans by other humans". He blames this for the deep poverty and low levels of education of Nusantaran people under the Dutch.[/sub] |
| [sub]On July 4th 1927 Surkano along with his friends established the Nusantara National Party, the party advocated independence for Nusantara, and opposed imperialism and capitalism because it opined that both systems worsened the life of Nusantara people. The party also advocated secularism and unity amongst the many different ethnicities in the Dutch East Indies, to establish a united Nusantara. Sukarno continues to predict a war in the Asian sphere will lead Nusantara to its independence, fiercely believing that Nusantaras independence depended on Japans growing nationalism.[/sub] |
| [sub]Sarknos imprisonment in 1930 saw the National Party crumble without his presence, the movement split into two camps: those who called for agitation to gain independence and those who supported educating the masses and creating a movement with knowledge and a gradual split. Following his release a merger between the two movements failed and eventually the Nusantara Party was founded with him at the helm, sonn this would fail too with his exile without trial.[/sub] |
| [sub]His time in the town of Ende hasnt been a wasted one thus far, having helped design and build a childrens theatre and build a new network with local politicians and campaigners. Surkanos exile does not appear to be anywhere near an end, however the movements of Japans new found imperialism seem to have convinced him and others that Nusantaras freedom is coming.[/sub] |

[pre]February, 1936 | Bugembe, Outside Jinja Town, Eastern Province, The British Protectorate Of Uganda[/pre]
RIVER OF HATE, BUSOGA RELOCATION ACT
The Ugandan Protectorate was established following its transfer from the Imperial British East Africa Company. The land was split amongst four main provinces in order to establish more stable British rule in the region, Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western. The provinces are primarily split between two ethnolinguistic groups in the north-east provinces and the south-west provinces. The South West was home to the former Kingdom of Buganda, which is made up of the dominant Bantu ethnolinguistic groups in this region of Uganda. The Bantu people primarily live west of Lake Kyoga, in the center of the protectorate, and west of the Victoria Nile River, which eventually transforms into the White Nile River at Lake Albert before flowing north into Sudan. However, a sizable majority of Bantu also live along the entire Ugandan coast of Lake Victoria, taking up the southern half of the Eastern Province. The Bantu people are one of Africa's largest ethnolinguistic groups, occupying much of the land between central and southern Africa, from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Coasts.
The rest of the protectorate east of the Nile belongs to a number of ethnic groups, primarily the Central Sudanic ethnolinguistic groups that inhabit much of the lands between the Victoria and White Niles in the west of the Northern province. The other ethnolinguistic groups that inhabit the majority of the lands in the Northern Eastern Provinces are the Nilotic ethnolinguistic groups, an African group that also inhabits much of the lands stretching from northern Kenya to south central Sudan. This effectively splits Uganda between two tribal groups, the Bantu and the Nilotic.
However, since the establishment of the Protectorate in 1984, much of the colonial power has been given to the Bantu King, or Kabala of Buganda, Ssekabaka Daudi Chwa II, who had basically only claimed dominion over the borders of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Buganda, a dominion that was recognized by the British colonial authorities. That dominion essentially covers much of Ugandas Southern Province and has no claim to the Bantu-occupied lands of the Eastern Province. After dominating the fishing market on Lake Victoria's coast, the Bantu people of the region, known as the Busoga, who had formed their own kingdom separate from Buganda, have now found themselves in a battle over fishing rights with the Teso Nilotic people, who have moved further and further south in an attempt to gain access to the Victoria Lake.Those battles, which were initially legal, had resulted in extremely violent and brutal clashes in recent months between Bantu and Nilotic tribes.
The months of conflict between Uganda's two largest ethnolinguistic groups became known as the "River of Hate" by the Ugandan people, as much of the tribal conflict revolved around the right to access the major waterways leading to the lake.Colonial authorities in command of the King Africa Rifles (KAR), sometimes involving the colonial troops of the neighboring Sudan Defense Force, have carried out multiple operations to maintain peace in the region amongst the Busoga and Nilotic Teso. Colonial positions towards the conflict were then forced to take a hard turn following an attack by the Busoga Kingdom against colonial troops, as they openly declared revolt against the protectorate and the Empire. The attacks left six colonial soldiers dead and 15 Busoga killed.
Following the attack, the Ugandan Colonial Authority in Kampala passed the Busoga Relocation Act (BRA), under which the colonial government approved the complete final eviction and relocation of the Busoga people from the Kingdom. Given that the tiny kingdom had suffered losses in its population in the early 1900s as a result of an epidemic of African trypanosomiasis, also referred to as the "sleeping sickness," With much of the Busoga population displaced by a deadly epidemic and with many reluctant to return following recent violence with the Teso, the Busoga population would continue to decline, to the point where the colonial authorities of Kampala found it possible to have much of the population relocated.
Colonial troops would march into the Kingdoms capital in Bugembe, outside the provincial capital of Jinja. Following a two-day siege, resulting in the death of Busogas soon to be monarch, the Kyabazinga, Ezekiel Tenywa Wako, the rest of his forces would surrender and be arrested by the KAR as the rest of the village had been evicted from their lands and forced west of the Victoria Nile. The fall of Bugembe and the death of its Kyabazinga had signaled to the rest of Busoga that the war was now over. Many still resisted the eviction from their lands, only to find the situation hopeless. The trails of desperate and demoralized people drove out from various villages and towns in the South Eastern Province, escorted by colonial troops as they headed west towards the Victoria Nile, to the Bantu Homeland in Uganda.
However, due to the Busoga people's similarities to other Bantu groups in the region, as well as their linguistic indifferences, many Bukedi, Bugiso, and Sever Bantu groups had found themselves on the wrong end of the BRA.Many of them, though having no part in the conflict, were forced out of their lands and west of the rivers. West of the Victoria Nile, those displaced groups would either begin integration with the Kingdoms of Buganda and Ankole, or find themselves as settlers on the frontiers of the Western Provinces of the Great Lakes.
As towns such as Bugembe, Kamuli, Nakalama, Torro, and Mbale are abandoned by their once Bantu-speaking populations, Nilotic groups such as the Teso and Karamoja begin settlement and the establishment of villages, towns, and farmlands in the Eastern Province's southern side.As white settlers participated in the acquisition of former Bantu properties, white towns and farmlands sprouted up all along the coast, primarily on Buvuma Island, which is now an administrative part of the Eastern Province.
So far, the Colonial Authorities of Kampala have been steadfast in their relocation of the Busogans, citing it as a necessary measure for the region's security and peace. As 200,000 Bantu-speaking people lose their homes and land, it seems that the Nilotic people have benefited the most from the BRA, establishing some sort of secret friendship with their European colonists. It could be possible that the alliances held with the Bantu of Buganda could be shifting given recent hostilities between Buganda and the Imperial offices in Africa.

TRIBAL CONFEDERATION DEMOGRAPHICS & EARLY SECESSION
March 1936
The Tribal Confederation was formed on the advice of the Federal Government in order to attempt to provide better access to services and self determination, however despite the early celebrations of its creation there have been certain problems related to its creation already. While the majority of the Tribes have been positive towards its foundation and the opportunities it has provided the Tribal Grouping of Tumbuka (an ethnic grouping located on the border regions of Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia) the legitimacy and Federal approval to create its own Tumbuka Confederation as they did not wish to associate with the opposing Chewa and Namwanga Groupings with which they have had an millennia long blood feud. Key to the unity of the Tumbuka is the Chikulamayembe Dynasty established in 1805 and currently led by Ziwange I, who stands as the overall Monarch Tribal Chieftains on both sides of the border. The Namwanga in comparison have their Chieftain in Tanzania and such they are formally led by an entity outside of the Federal boundaries of Rhodesia & Nyasaland, and as such Tribal politics creates some confusion.
Overall the move was disheartening to the unity of the Tribal Confederation as many members had hoped to stand as a united front, however the decision of the Federal Government to not only recognize the Tumbuka Confederation but grant it the same status and rights as the overall Tribal Confederation was a signal that the Government did not seek to break down their rights and power but instead had a genuine desire to find a solution whereby the Tribes had self rule and a proper avenue of conversation to the Government. As such in response to the move, the around 9 Namwanga Chieftains followed suit and created the Namwanga State, and are currently seeking a female head to carry the title of Nawaitwika (Ruler of all the Namwanga on the Zambian side).
Over the coming months it is likely other Tribal groupings will opt to create their own more centralized Government Groups rather than the overall Tribal Confederation, and due to the lack of a military for the Confederation or the assurance of the Federation to enforce decisions that is not something that can be avoided.

The Yellow and Red Waves
One year has passed since the promulgation of the new Constitution of Yugoslavia and the political liberalization, during this time several groups have organized themselves in political parties in order to run for the elections of the new Parliament. This have lead to the creation of four major parties in Yugoslavia, being them: the Liberals, represented by the yellow color, mostly composed by democrats, middle class citizens and intellectuals; the Radicals, represented by the orange color, with members mainly from the monarchists groups; the Socialists, represented by the red color, formed by low class citizens, workers and peasants, and lastly; the Republicans, represented by the blue, composed mostly by a mix of conservatives and influent members of the miltiary.
The results of the election have sent a message to the Prince-Regent and the Yugoslav government, the wishes of the people for changes and moving out from the dictatorship era, the Liberals and the Socialists, were respectively, the two parties that got most seats the Parliament with 64 and 55 seats, being followed by the Republicans with 40 seats and in the last the Radicals with only 19 seats. Some have believe that the impressive result presented by the Socialists was mainly due the hard work performed by it leader, Jozep Broz "Tito" to fight the crisis during the last few years. In order to reach the majority the Liberals decided to form a coalition with the Republicnas, while this the Socialists decided to keep a neutral stance, leaving the Radicals as a sole opposition. Dragomir Vasić from the Republicans was elected as Prime-Minister, with Srđan Budisavljević from the Liberals being the leader of the coalition, while Milan Stojadinović from the Radicals would be leader of the opposition.

OPPOSITION TO BLACK SEA PACT
January 5th, 1936
Grand National Assembly Hall, Ankara
| İsmet İnönü was heard giving a fiery speech in front of the Grand National Assembly today as the crowd erupted into synchronous boos and cheers over his opposition to the newly founded Black Sea Pact that Belli had led the country. During the speech, it was reported that many hardliners had stormed out of the chambers, while others stayed and listened. Sighting Bellis revolutionary past and former socialist education, Inonu had continued with his speech, and he had said thus: |
İsmet İnönü:
[sub]It isnt enough, I guess, that Belli has sought to bring us closer to the mouth of the beast, but to indeed help us into its gaping maw as the rest of us lay helpless to his whim. It was at first commendable that he brought Turkey into a new age, but to bring us to a place where we are now defenseless against our age-old enemy, is a betrayal of his nation and people.
Need I remind my countrymen of the horrors of the last war? Need I remind them of the battles that were fought and the fathers and sons, brothers and uncles who died during that brutal conflict? Do we really wish to invite such another? Aligning ourselves with the bear of the East will only bring pain and suffering for the Turkish people, I can assure you.
Turning a blind eye to our national heritage and identity in favor of this supposed liberation, disgusts me to the core. Why should we stand idly by while this tyrant tears to shreds our Republic? I tell you that this day, I will no longer comply with this man.
[/sub]
| As he finished with his speech, Inonu stepped down from the podium and followed several armed guards down one of the main aisles of the assembly hall, and out the doors to his car outside. Many wonder if this a declaration of war of sorts against the current administration. With the show of force from the former Prime Ministers entourage, those rumors are said to hold value, some officials say. As well, many of the mercenary forces which were raised from the land owners coffers after the Restoration Act last year, are said to have increased their attacks against the Red Peasant Militias in the countryside, calling for the government to respond. |

[sub]SWITZERLAND, THE HELVETIC REPUBLIC[/sub]
| From the mid-1800s onward, gold played an extremely important role in Switzerland's monetary power. It created a central foundation for the international monetary system and the Swiss franc. For centuries, the nations of Europe took the gold-based system for granted as the untouchable truth of economic policy. When the Swiss National Bank was created in 1899, the international gold standard was already well established alongside the free market.
In 1929, the beginning of the worldwide economic crisis, the government of the Helvetic Republic and the Swiss National Bank saw the downturn as an inevitable, natural reaction to years of financial prosperity. As a response, it decided that the best course of action would be a hands-off approach until the situation naturally repaired itself to normal levels. As the depression worsened, though, it became apparent doing nothing would achieve nothing, and that intervention would be necessary to preserve the Helvetic Republic's uniquely important place in the world.
By 1935, the Swiss franc would be dangerously overvalued compared to the financial worlds other currencies, harming Swiss industry in the international market. The government, though, would continue to support the gold standard and emphasize that devaluation would not fix the underlying issues of the economic crisis. Finally, in September of that year, the Swiss franc would be devalued 30% by the Swiss National Bank. This decision would come to a surprise to the people, given the steady opposition to any devaluation at all from the government before 1935. The following day, a radio address to the nation would be given by President Robert Haab in order to reassure the Swiss people. |
[list]| [sub]Bundespräsident ROBERT HAAB[/sub] | Heute spreche ich zu den Schweizerinnen und Schweizern über unsere grosse Nationalbank. Dieselbe Nationalbank, die unser Land über Jahrhunderte nahezu konstant wachsen und gedeihen ließ, selbst als der Rest Europas auseinander brach. Diese Republik ist widerstandsfähig. Daran sollte sich in diesem Jahrzehnt jeder erinnern. Sie alle kennen wahrscheinlich die Bedeutung des gestrigen Entscheids über den Wert des Schweizer Frankens und den Goldstandard. Nachrichten wie diese verbreiten sich schließlich nicht langsam und ich kann Ihnen versichern, dass wir uns diese Entscheidung nicht leicht gemacht haben. Aber Eile führt zu schlechter Kommunikation, also muss ich der Republik zuliebe klarstellen, was Abwertung wirklich bedeutet. Unser Schweizer Franken ist auf dem modernen Markt so wie er ist nicht lebensfähig. Wir haben diesen Abschwung von Anfang an ertragen, aber es ist zwingend erforderlich, dass wir in die Fußstapfen unserer Nachbarn treten, wenn wir unseren Platz in der Geschäftswelt behaupten wollen. Uns bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als den Goldstandard wie bisher abzuschaffen. Es ist der Weg zurück in eine normale Welt. Deshalb bitte ich Sie, stark zu bleiben. Die Schweizer vertrauen seit Jahrhunderten auf ihr Wirtschaftssystem. In nur fünf Jahren scheinen wir diesen Glauben verloren zu haben, aber das haben wir nicht. Ich vertraue dem System. Sie alle vertrauten dem System. Es wird mehr als eine Rezession brauchen, um unserer großartigen Demokratie Schaden zuzufügen.[/list]
[list]| [sub]ROBERT HAAB, President of the Helvetic Republic[/sub] | Today, I talk to the Swiss people about our great national bank. The same national bank that has, for centuries, maintained almost constant growth and prosperity in our nation even when the rest of Europe tore itself apart. This republic is resilient. That is something which all should keep in mind this decade. Likely, you all know the significance of the decision made yesterday concerning the value of the Swiss franc and the gold standard. After all, news of this kind does not travel slowly, and I can assure you that it was not a decision made lightly. But haste breeds poor communication, so I must clarify, for the sake of the republic, what devaluation really entails. Our Swiss franc is not viable in the modern market as is. We have held out since the beginning of this downturn, but it is imperative that we follow the steps of our neighbors if we are to maintain our spot in the economic world. We have no other option but to do away with the gold standard as it was before. It is the path back to a normal world. So I ask of you to stay strong. For hundreds of years, the Swiss people have had confidence in their economic system. In only five years, it seems we have lost that faith, but it is not so. I trust the system. You have all trusted the system. It will take more than a recession to damage our great democracy.[/list]

PADAT-1936
The Padat-1936 was presented towards the Maziyan military as the gun of the future for Maziya,it provided positive results during test runs and the exhibition but the soldiers who test it out had to be taught how to remove and put back on the drum mag and many soldiers tried to use it with one hand as they would with a pistol but the recoil was a bit too much for one hand to be able to it so some soldiers held the gun with one hand on the handle,with the other on the drum mag,some decided to hold one hand on top of the barrell and some decided to hold one hand on the bottom of the barrell.The gun was slightly altered from its original blue print as they made it a bit bigger to avoid any jamming issues which could happen if built too small,the drum mag was supposed to have its own original bullet type but that idea was scrapped as it would cost too much to produce an entirely different type of ammunition for one singular gun,the drum mag could only hold up to 35 bullets maximum.The Padat-1936 was approved for mass production starting in September of 1936 but until then it would only see small scale production but not replace the Senapang Pantas as the main gun of the Maziyan military until the Padat-1936 proves itself on the battlefield.

[sub]The Kingdom of Egypt The Pillars of Islam! [/sub][/list]
[pre]F A R O U K[/pre]
HIS MAJESTYS STUDY, HELIOPOLIS PALACE
[sub]CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii MORNING[/sub]
| More than 1400 years have passed since the revelation of Islam, during which it has established a magnificent civilization that for many years brought happiness to mankind. For a number of reasons however, this civilization has seemingly dwindled. Some seem to think it has perished, died, and become a never to be repeated relic of history; they consider the natural alternative and successor to this to be Western civilization, with its materialist global ideology, socialism with its promise of dictatorship of the proletariat and fascism as a means of national revival. However, this is a fallacy as the fact remains that Islam has maintained all its pillars and therefore remains, theoretically, robust and dynamic enough to contend with and relate to reality. |
| The new Egyptian government, headed by Farouk, established only several months ago, is an extant proof of this. This government has maintained its pillars and principles whilst concurrently deploying all measures and processes relevant to contemporary civilization. |
| The Islamic political system is distinguished by a number of features and characteristics. The most important of them are as follows: |
[list] [sub] The fundamentals and rules are from God: The fundamentals on which this system is based are shoura (consultation), justice, the pledge of allegiance, obedience and responsibility. These are all derived from their source, which is the revelation of God to His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad [/sub]
[sub] This is an ideological and intellectual system, and not merely an earthly and legal one. This system is based on the fact that God is the Commander and Legislator; both the ruler and the ruled are subject to His Divine shariah. [/sub]
[sub] This system is based upon two great pillars, the first being the system is Islamic as it is based on the Islamic shariah and the second being the ruler administering this system should be a Muslim. God states: O you who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. (4: 59) . . . therefore power is confined to the Muslim ruler. A non-Muslim would have a separate faith and ideology, and would thus be non-indigenous to this system. [/sub]
[sub] This is an ethical system on which relations between its constituents, relations between constituents and the state, and relations between the state and other states, are based on deep-rooted moral values such as integrity, sincerity, counsel, mercy, respect and reciprocal trust, justice, virtue and fulfillment of undertakings, and trust. [/sub]
[sub] It is a system that combines appliance of the general with the elucidation of the specific; the aggregate fundamental regulations such as justice, consultation, the pledge of allegiance and obedience, are encapsulated and applied in various methods, depending upon situation and circumstance. [/sub]
[sub] The system includes intrinsic elaboration in areas such as rights and responsibilities. Such as specific shariah rules, which are to be applied in civil, criminal, commercial, financial and other areas, are stated in details in the shariah. [/sub]

Hello, my country will be Canada, what do you think?
Sorry to tell you this but we already have a Canada.
New Provenance
No problem, I will look for another country to play in other than Canada. What do you think about Mexico
We have a list of available nations. Its not always up to date but it is mostly accurate. Telegram Paramountica to find out if something is claimed already.

Mexico City
The Mexican Congress voted today to enter the next world war against the United States of America to recover our occupied lands from it, which are the states of California, Texas and New Mexico.
Guadalupe Hidalgo, and if the United States of America wants to compensate 15 million dollars in compensation, as they did to us, and we will recover our lands without war, we agree, but we are afraid that it will refuse.
Lazaro Cardenas del Rio
This results in several executive orders that we present to you
1- Declaring a state of emergency and security alert throughout the Mexican states
2- Announcement of national mobilization from the age of 18 to the age of 65
3- Asking for military aid from Nazi Germany
4- Canceling diplomatic and commercial relations and any relations between us and the United States
5- Withdrawing our embassy from the United States of America and recalling our ambassador from there
6- The expulsion of all American tourists from our lands in exchange for returning our citizens there to us
7- Make the army on alert, ready to announce the zero hour.

Colonial Administration Prompts Industrial Expansion to the Tin Belt and Implements Regulations for Workplace Safety! Governor-General Ryckmans Approves Formation of Trade Schools in Katanga and Kivu Provinces!
Utawala wa Kikoloni Wahimiza Upanuzi wa Viwanda kwenye Ukanda wa Bati na Kutekeleza Kanuni za Usalama Mahali pa Kazi! Gavana Mkuu Ryckmans Aidhinisha Uundaji wa Shule za Biashara katika Mikoa ya Katanga na Kivu!
Amani na Baraka kwa Kongo!
[sub]Pierre Ryckmans, Governor-General of the Belgian State of the Congo | LEOPOLDVILLE, 1936[/sub][/list]
[sub]| Jimbo la Ubelgiji la Kongo |[/sub]
With industrial modernization and advancements occurring in the Copper Belt in coordination with Rhodesia, Governor-General Pierre Ryckmans approved a motion by his administration to expand industrialization efforts to the Tin Belt that expands from the Katanga Province into the Kivu Province. Capitalizing on the abundance of tin resources is expected to further ease economic tensions but also to pivot the economic attention from abroad to domestic. Tin has many uses. It takes a high polish and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion, such as in tin cans, which are made of tin-coated steel. Alloys of tin are important, such as soft solder, pewter, bronze and phosphor bronze. A niobium-tin alloy is used for superconducting magnets. Militarily speaking, tin is vital for plasma containers, airplane instrument panels, ammunition boxes, morphine syrettes for administering needed pain relief for wounded soldiers. Tin and lead are alloyed to create solder, which is used as a bonding material, most often in electronics. Other applications of tin and tin alloys include bearings, auto and aerospace parts, and dental fillings. However, this particular initiative also includes expanded endeavors into modernizing infrastructure such as rails and new facilities for processing.
Thankfully, the resources needed for steel such as iron ore and coal mines already being present and operational in the Congo, the colonial administration has prompted for new rail lines to begin construction to link both the Copper and Tin Belts in addition to dispatching Dutch engineers and architects from Leopoldville into Kivu and Katanga to begin designing, scaling, blueprinting, and providing estimates regarding new industrial plants within both resource belts. As a promise given to Bantu tribal elders and an interesting growing new local grassroots political movement known as Harakati za Marejesho ya Kibantu (Bantu Restoration Movement) to pass legislation to view education as a right to all people instead of a selected portion of society. After signing the legislation into law, an additional initiative would be pass that approved the establishment of trade/apprenticeship schools to further professionalism and workplace regulations within the Congolese workforce. The intended result is better management of operational resource mines in addition to investing directly into the capabilities of the Congolese. With the Congolese "Industrial Revolution" being primarily focused in the Katanga and Kivu provinces, the initial trade schools have been approved for the provinces in particular; however, there are expectations and plans to further expand trade schools simultaneously with grade and elementary schools, high schools, and colleges/universities.
Two Tungsten Mines Discovered in Rwanda; High Anticipation for Employment and Economic Stimulus!
Major news would reach Leopoldville from Rwanda as two major tungsten mines have been discovered via ongoing geological surveying. With tungsten mines in the Congo beginning operations within the coming months, the new sources of tungsten domestically has further emboldened the colonial administration with great excitement, shock, and wonder. Tungsten is utilized as electrodes, heating elements and field emitters, and as filaments in light bulbs and cathode ray tubes. Tungsten is commonly used in heavy metal alloys such as high speed steel, from which cutting tools are manufactured. It is also used in the so-called 'superalloys' to form wear-resistant coatings. Militarily speaking, tungsten, usually alloyed with nickel, iron, or cobalt to form heavy alloys, is used in kinetic energy penetrators as an alternative to depleted uranium, in applications where uranium's radioactivity is problematic even in depleted form, or where uranium's additional pyrophoric properties are not desired (for example, in ordinary small arms bullets designed to penetrate body armor). Similarly, tungsten alloys have also been used in shells, grenades, and missiles, to create supersonic shrapnel. Scientifically and for electronic purposes, elemental tungsten is used in many high-temperature applications, such as incandescent light bulb, cathode-ray tube, and vacuum tube filaments, heating elements, and rocket engine nozzles. Its high melting point also makes tungsten suitable for aerospace and high-temperature uses such as electrical, heating, and welding applications, notably in the gas tungsten arc welding process.
Tungsten discovery in Rwanda has prompted conversations on further transportation connectivity infrastructure between Rwanda and Congo proper to connect the Rwandan tungsten zone with the Tin and Copper Belts as a measure to transform Eastern Congo into a major industrial network.
