Ringiovanimento economico del popolo e dello spirito italiano" Policy for Economic Development

Gloria all'Italia!

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

Rome. The epicenter for the dawn of modern Western traditions and civilization was now the origin for the growing global fascist movement for the creation of an alternate power structure against weakening democratic principles and economic promises. For 13 years, the Kingdom of Italy has been under the yoke of fascist visionary and strongman Benito Amilcare Mussolini, who promised the restoration of the great Roman spirit, empire, and people; to bring Rome back to the center of global politics, authority, security, and prestige. With the Partito Nazionale Fascista obtaining membership of over 10 million people (reached 10 million in 1930) and the sole approved political entity in the Italian political establishment, Benito Mussolini obtained the keys to power to regulate both the Italian socioeconomic structure but also compliance from the royal Italian family and the Vatican. With the Depression raging around the civilized world, the notions of corporatist economics has prompted some economic security measures to diminish the severity of the Depression and continuing the dominance of the Partito Nazionale Fascista in all life. This was not just for the Italian Peninsula but also for overseas possessions: Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia. Obtaining possessions in the Mediterranean, Red Sea/Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean has prompted further grandiose plans and public perception of the returning glory of Italia; however, what to do with these possessions has sparked further discussions. For the Italian Fascist ideology, all those under the yoke and authority of the State is determined as being equal no matter race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, and class to a degree. For the Partito Nazionale Fascista's senior leadership, Libyans, Eritreans, and Somalis are just as Italian as Italians on the Peninsula. Thus, for all of Italia to be empowered, what has been classified as "L'italiano vicino all'estero" (The Italian Near Abroad), referring to colonial possessions, must be strengthened, developed, and prosperous.

Indicating a high priority for the restructuring, development, and progression of the Italian Near Abroad region, Benito Mussolini has authorized the formation of the "Comitato Nazionale per il Servizio Civile" (National Committee for Civil Service) to assist in the governance and policymaking for colonial possessions. Although headquartered in Rome, the CNSC is comprised of representatives, including military, economists, educators, financiers, community leaders, and political leaders, of each colonial possession to ensure proper policies are constructed based on the conditions of each possession.

[list][pre]LIBYA[/pre][/list]

[list][list][sub]Libya is an Italian possession in the Maghreb region in North Africa. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad to the south, Niger to the southwest, Algeria to the west, and Tunisia to the northwest. Libya is made of three historical regions: Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. With an area of almost 700,000 square miles (1.8 million km2), it is the fourth-largest country in Africa and the Arab world, and the 16th-largest in the world. Libya has the 10th-largest proven oil reserves in the world (not discovered yet). The largest city and capital, Tripoli, is located in western Libya. The priority for the Italian government is the development of transportation and maritime logistical infrastructure along the Libyan coast in addition to making inroads into Libya to further provide development and geological surveying with the hopes of discovering additional natural resources to exploit for economic prosperity. The positioning of Libya is extremely vital for Rome as it is positioned directly south of the Peninsula on the other side of the Mediterranean. Decreeing a doctrine of "Mare Nostrum", Libya has been designated as a major component for the expansion of the maritime Italian presence, both civilian and military. Seeking to avoid overt Italian domination of Libyan politics, the Mussolini regime has authorized the establishment of a Libyan government comprised of a new designated class of people called "Libico-nativo Italiano" (Libyan-native Italians), which refers to a group of people that are Libyan-Italian mixed born in Libya, full blooded Italians born in Libya, or Italians that move to Libya. Consisting of already 10% of the Libyan population, Mussolini has directed to have this group to become the new political class of Libya to orchestrate governance and policy that is conducive to the Libyan conditions and potential of growth immediately. With natural resources that include oil (not known yet), natural gas (not known yet), gypsum, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphate silica, and limestone, Mussolini has high hopes for the modernization of Libya as a prized possession.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list][pre]ERITREA[/pre][/list]

[list][list][sub]Eritrea is an Italian possession in the Horn of Africa region of Eastern Africa, with its capital (and largest city) at Asmara. It is bordered by Ethiopia in the south, Sudan in the west, and Djibouti in the southeast. The northeastern and eastern parts of Eritrea have an extensive coastline along the Red Sea. The nation has a total area of approximately 117,600 km2 (45,406 sq mi), and includes the Dahlak Archipelago and several of the Hanish Islands. Eritrea is a multi-ethnic country with nine recognized ethnic groups. Nine different languages are spoken by the nine recognized ethnic groups, the most widely spoken language being Tigrinya, the others being Tigre, Saho, Kunama, Nara, Afar, Beja, Bilen and Arabic. Tigrinya, Arabic, and English serve as the three working languages. Most residents speak languages from the Afroasiatic family, either of the Ethiopian Semitic languages or Cushitic branches. Among these communities, the Tigrinyas make up about 55% of the population, with the Tigre people constituting around 30% of inhabitants. In addition, there are several Nilo-Saharan-speaking Nilotic ethnic groups. Most people in the territory adhere to Christianity or Islam, with a small minority adhering to traditional faiths. With the Tigray representing over a majority of the population, Mussolini designated the Tigray population as the proper class to govern the Eritrean colonial possession in addition to a similar group of people now responsible for Libya. This time in Eritrea, they are referred to as "Italiano nativo del Tigray" (Tigray-native Italian). Possessing gold, zinc, oil and gas (not discovered yet), copper, oil, potash, limestone, gypsum, iron ore, marble, and granite, Mussolini is eyeing the Eritrean industrial sector to spearhead economic development while utilizing profits from the industrial sector to enlarge the financial and services sectors to diversify the overall Italian economy. In addition to minerals, Eritrea possesses extensive fertile soil needed for Italian agricultural production. With a diverse terrain to include forested areas, rich maritime life, and wildlife, the Italian government looks to venture toward environmental protection but also concentrated development along the coastline similar to the Libyan project. Being in the Red Sea provides the Italian government a logistical hub and a power projection corridor into the Middle East and the Indian Ocean.[/sub][/list][/list]

[list][pre]SOMALIA[/pre][/list]

[list][list][sub]Somalia is an Italian possession on the Horn of Africa. The country is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Kenya to the southwest. Somalia has the longest coastline on Africa's mainland. Its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains, and highlands. Hot conditions prevail year-round, with periodic monsoon winds and irregular rainfall. The largest city is Mogadishu, and has been described as Africa's most culturally homogeneous country. Around 85% of its residents are ethnic Somalis, who have historically inhabited the country's north. Ethnic minorities are largely concentrated in the south. The official languages of Somalia are Somali, Arabic, and Italian. Most people in the country are Muslims, the majority of them Sunni. Similar to Libya, Somalia is a prized possession for the Italians for its direct access to the Indian Ocean. With implementing the "Italiano di origine somala" (Somali-native Italian) structure within the Somali super majority representation within the population, Mussolini has large aspirations for Somalia to become a true force projection for Italy in the Indian Ocean to reinforce Italy in Eritrea and protect Italian trade and maritime interests in the region. Somalia possesses natural resources of uranium, iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt, oil and natural gas, and other forms of crucial resources for economic growth and military empowerment. The long coast of Somalia has prompted the intrigue of Rome to invest and implement new infrastructure that can sustain large population growth and heavy industry.[/sub][/list]

Ministry of the National Economy Announces "Ringiovanimento economico del popolo e dello spirito italiano" Policy for Economic Development

With approval granted by Benito Mussolini himself, the Ministry of the National Economy has moved forward with the "Ringiovanimento economico del popolo e dello spirito italiano" economic initiative to further maintain Italian surplus growths witnessed in the mid to late-1920s. As part of the new economic structure, which will now include the Italian Near Abroad, simplified the tax code, cut taxes, curbed spending, liberalized trade restrictions and abolished rent controls have been reinstituted and enlarged to further incorporate the new population size. Additionally, by maintaining Alberto De’ Stefani as the Minister of the National Economy, who advocated for some laissez-faire principles under careful state direction, Mussolini and De'Stefani orchestrated the foundation for implementing gradually economic corporatist councils for high priority designated sectors of the economy to avoid bloating or stagnation of economic growth with too much government interference. Although Mussolini continues to advocate for government ownership of the economy under his direction, De'Stefani and his council of economic experts and advisors have been able to successfully demonstrate to Mussolini why overarching government control will choke the Italian workforce and sustained economic growth instead of assisting. Additionally, strong regulations would be put in place to prevent non-state sanctioned cartels or monopolies from forming that would otherwise undermine economic growth across the Kingdom. Furthermore, unsuspectedly, Mussolini has given approval and support toward having a strong central bank independent from the government to focus on using monetary policies to keep prices stable. With large scale tax cuts being provided, the intention is to spur large spending and investments. To achieve this, the Ministry of the National Economy and the Italian Parliament approved the introduction of a new currency to replace the old Lira for the implementation of what is called the "Lira Potente" for the new currency. It will still be called the Lira but the new formal name is the Lira Potente to indicate a new sovereign currency to dominate the Mediterranean. With the introduction, the Italian Near Abroad had to adopt the new currency as well for the implementation of consistent monetary and fiscal policy in addition to uniformity in currency usage and exchange rates. As part of the new policy, price controls were to gradually be lifted as prices stabilized and the average purchasing power of Italians have increased. Additionally, The corporate income tax rate, which had ranged from 35 percent to 65 percent, was made a flat 50 percent. Although the top rate on individual income will remain at 95 percent, it applied only to income equivalent to $800,000 annually.

With ambitions to produce an intellectually and technologically advanced society and workforce, the Mussolini regime has begun to opt for the expansion of the education sector in the Italian Near Abroad and the Peninsula, emphasizing high school to graduate school levels of education, in addition to adopting policies to establish and strengthen the concept of Non-Commissioned Officer Corps into the Italian Army for the intentions of "providing inspiration, purpose, motivation, direction and discipline to the troops they lead, and to be responsible for the individual training of those in their charge." The incorporation of a unified, uniformed NCO across the Italian Army, including incorporating the establishment of the Italian Army in Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia via recruitment, training, and development of natives to be able to fight on the same standards as the Italian Armed Forces from the Peninsula. To achieve this, the Ministry of Defense has authorized the entry of citizens from the Italian Near Abroad into Italian military academies, including officer and civilian training. Regarding the expansion of Italian paramilitary forces, specialized military and education academies have been authorized for construction in Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia as a means to strengthen the Italian position and unify the totality of the Italian population.

Governor-General Rodolfo Graziani, 1st Marquis of Neghelli Begins Agricultural and Mining Policies to Grow Native Workforce to Complement Italian Employment Initiatives in Rome; Establishment of the Guardia Nazionale Italiana dell'Africa Orientale (Italian East African National Guard)

[sub]Il Governatore Generale Rodolfo Graziani, 1° Marchese di Neghelli avvia politiche agricole e minerarie per aumentare la forza lavoro nativa a complemento delle iniziative occupazionali italiane a Roma; Istituzione della Guardia Nazionale Italiana dell'Africa Orientale[/sub]

Gloria all'Italia!

[sub]Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy | ROME, 1935[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

In an effort to continue to solidification and integration of the East African Italian possessions into the apparatus of the Italian Domain, Governor-General Rodolfo Graziani has prompted his administration to not waste time. The one major sector that has been saving Italy from the full torment of the Great Depression was its large agriculture industry and still substantial agrarian components to the Italian society. With acquired new areas of agriculture in East Africa, the Governor-General has theorized that further growth and balance can still occur between agriculture and manufacturing/industry if the trends of agriculture can remain steady, including employment for men and women. Eritrea has 26% arable land, but only 4% is under cultivation. Farming, animal herding and fishing are the mainstay of livelihoods for more than 75% of the population. In Italian Somalia, only 1.6% of Somalia's total land area is cultivated, and 69% is permanent pasture. Not wanting to eradicate this current opportunity, Governor-General Graziani has approved the suggestion to formalize agriculture education and modernize agricultural practices to further increase agriculture production, better treatment and maintenance of soil health, better practices to preserve animal livestock, and the gradual introduction of agriculture regulations that will prevent over exhaustion of soil. To avoid potential contamination of agricultural lands by industrial pollution, Governor-general Graziani has ordered for architects, city planners, and engineers to divide both Eritrea and Somalia into various economic sectors with the intentions of ensuring there is proper distance between heavy industrial zones and agriculture zones. Additionally, it become required for the establishment of rails and roads to connect agricultural and industrial zones to harbors along the coastlines of Eritrea and Somalia.

The agricultural education initiatives, programs, and schooling will be predominately spearheaded within the designated agricultural zones to garner local expertise, experience, and hands on opportunities to invest in the local craft. Additionally, Eritrean and Somali farmers will be allowed to travel throughout the Italian domain to garner knowledge of a variety of landscapes and agriculture that can be harvested, animals to be domesticated, and new agriculture tactics to implement back home. Regarding the mining industry, Rome has approved Graziani's appeal to implement state-monitored capitalistic ventures to allow natural, steady growth of the mining sector to fuel construction and industrialization efforts in East Africa.

Establishment of the Guardia Nazionale Italiana dell'Africa Orientale (Italian East African National Guard)

To further secure professionally the sovereignty of Italian possessions domestically in addition to reinforcing the Italian Royal Army, Governor-General Graziani has authorized the transformation of smaller militias and paramilitary units into an official entity called the Italian East African National Guard. The IEANG will be trained alongside the Italian Army; however, as they are comprised predominantly of local Eritreans and Somalis, the Italian military senior leadership has approved for an initiative to be implemented to allow native warlords, tribal elders, and native specialists to implement guerrilla, asymmetric tactics and warfare that is conducive to the natural terrain of East Africa. An additional feature to this is equipping the IEANG with weapons, training, and equipment that better serves the geography of East Africa to ensure success of military operations. In conjunction to the IEANG, Governor-General Graziani has established a youth recruitment initiative into the Blackshirts to begin the ideological integration of fascism into the daily fabric life of Eritreans and Somalis. the IEANG will be comprised of the Eritrean Corps and the Somali Corps in addition to a unified joint command for better logistics, communication, and effectiveness in preparation and combat. This further requires flexibility in allowing sergeants to determine the best way to achieve tactical victories to assist in fulfilling operational and strategic goals. The IEANG will further be supported by provincial based militias to operate as guerrilla auxiliary units, reconnaissance units, and intelligence units.

POINT OF VIEW OF THE YOUNG SALOTH— Phnom Penh [sup]A year has passed since my beloved mother sent me and my second eldest brother, Sat, to live with our cousin Meak. My dear cousin Meak was a consort of his majesty the King, Sisowath Monivong, and later worked as a ballet teacher for the children of the royal court. Thus he was very well connected and my mother wished for me and my brother to receive an education in the capital. I had never been in a 'city', my village as far as I was concerned was the center of the universe. My house was the biggest house, and well, that was until I laid eyes on the capital when we approached the outskirts that day. They call this place Phnom Penh or Penh's Hill in our Khmer tongue. The houses here are bigger than anything back home, people fill the streets, and the noise here is constant. I was very overwhelmed by it all at first, to the point I even cried to my brother. My brother Sat was without a hint of fear, and he showed much more excited about all of it. He consoled me by buying me a piece of Num Kom, a corn kernel on honey, and grated coconut. The num kom lifted my spirits and gave me the confidence to keep going walking through the streets. We eventually arrived at the home of cousin Meak. His home wasn't like my own, unlike ours, he was at the highest level of this 'apartment' as he called it. His home was decorated with the latest in French appliances, furniture, and decorations. It was far more opulent than anything back home, compared to cousin Meak, we might as well been peasants from the countryside. Cousin Meak had my brother and me sleep in two separate rooms, giving me my very own room, something which was not accustomed back home as we children all slept in one room. For the first time in my life, I had my own privacy. I cannot say I miss the constant sibling squabbles that would erupt constantly back home.[/sup]

[sup]I think my biggest shock about the capital was the sheer presence of the French. I had seen French soldiers only once when I was four years old, they were marching through my village on some sort of mission, I don't remeber much but what really stuck to my mind was just how different they were from us Khmers. Unlike us; their skin was light in complexion, they stood like giants compared to most Khmers, even my father was short compared to them, and what really grabbed my attention was their eyes. My mother told me that the French had color eyes because they are demons from a distant land. As she explained it, the Khmer people have brown eyes to represent our spiritual connection to the earth, thus marking our spiritual purity as a people. While the French had colored eyes to represent their connection to the underworld. I don't know if she was really right to say all those things, out of my few interactions with the French, I was treated fairly well. I even made friends with the son of a French diplomat who lived near us, his name Lucas Lecocq, he was very kind to me when I first arrived. He showed me around and even taught me how to play a game called football that was very popular back in his home country. We would play almost every day and I must say, I greatly enjoyed his company. I have always been a shy person, unlike my brothers I was not confident and I never really could overcome that lack of confidence. However, whenever I'm with Lucas I feel at ease. Which only made leaving Phnom Penh even harder for me when it was time for me and my brother to leave.[/sup]

The free buekaws movement has started building at the capital building I'm not sure how long the army or at least the soldiers that didn't join the free buekaws movement. I don't know how long we can last here in the capital but trench warfare has emerged and citizens are throwing pipe bombs and flares into the building now mortars are raining down in the capital city as a full scale civil was has emerged plus gas has been released in the capital and villages around it the bueri has become useless as the economy is gone completely and men are still dying due to starvation and hypothermia with no air conditioning to heat and cool their houses with the artillery well, destroying their houses the USSR are not helping my failing government with our alliance that seems to have failed even though they say they would help me! the people of my country are dying all we ask for is military help or just the white cross or the red cross WHATEVER YOU CAN FIND TO HELP ME AND MY CITIZENS! the ones that are loyal any way... there are a rising amount of executions of my officers and high ranking soldiers making soldiers desert their posts giving their service, gear, and weapons to the rebels.

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

At a rally in Sicily, Benito Mussolini sought to rally the cause of fascist syndicalism in addition to furthering the cause for the motivation of the national Italian spirit. From his podium, Benito Mussolini would give the following statements:

[list][list][sub]"Here is the Fascist revolution, O comrades! The revolution is in the fact that forty thousand workers of this land are deployed under our banners. Revolution is when the government places the syndicates within the State and gives these syndicates—which were ignored by the old demo-liberalism—their place in life.

But we say: duties first and rights second. Ours is an Italian syndicalism. We unite all the elements of production and we set them on a common path: the Nation, that is, the collectivity to which we belong, because we are concerned with the well-being of the community as a whole. Do you understand? I believe you do, because my language is very clear. Your eyes tell me that you are very intelligent. We must continue on this path: elevate the working masses without deceiving them, and keep them rigidly faithful to the cause of Fascism and the Nation."[/sub][/list][/list]

As Benito continued with his rally that incorporated a small military parade and recruitment tables for the armed forces and blackshirts, back in Rome, the assumed potential successor to Benito Mussolini, Gian Galeazzo Ciano, authorized the deployment of 300,000 personnel to Eritrea and Somalia. The 300,000 will be divided into 2 armies (150,000 per army) with one being sent to Eritrea and the other to Somalia to support the already 200,000 Italian Askari (100,000 in Eritrea and 100,000 in Somalia). The 300,000 personnel would be accompanied by 800 tanks, 2,000 artillery pieces, and 500 aircraft. The tanks would be of the following:

In the meantime, the Italian Askaris have been ordered to increase their training and preparedness levels as Governor-General Marshal

Blackshirt militias would begin to be organized into guerrilla auxiliary units, approximately 50,000 in total split between Eritrea and Somalia. The Governor-General had an inclination of what Rome was building up for. Awaiting in excitement to demonstrate the growing power of Italy once more, Governor-General Graziani would turn to a picture of Mussolini in his administrative office and provide the Roman salute before overseeing preparations.

[pre]ADENAUER, SCHUMACHER, FORMER CENTRE AND SDP LEADERS FORM COMMITTEE FOR GERMAN LIBERTY IN NEW YORK CITY[/pre][/list][/list]

| Kurt Schumacher, the leader of the German Social Democrats (SDP), escaped Eberswalde prison alongside other SDP leaders and a handful of Centre Party MPs to the United States with the help of groups in Germany skeptical of the DVP-led government of Adolph Heidler. Upon arriving in New York City, or the City That Never Sleeps, as the Americans like to call it, Schumacher and the group of political escapees rendezvoused with Konrad Adenauer and the remnants of the Centre Party leadership. Adenauer had established a Temporary Council for German Democracy, or the Vorläufiger Rat für Deutsche Demokratie. The Council claimed to form a German government-in-exile, declaring Heidler's government illegitimate in December 1934, two months after the death of Paul von Hindenburg. |

| Schumacher and Adenauer, representing the SPD and the Centre - or Zentrum - Party respectively, met several times over February and March 1935 to discuss the establishing of a unified opposition to the German Government led by the Volkists and Heidler. Adenauer supported publicly declaring a government-in-exile and gathering French and Soviet support to topple Heidler, as they had already begun making moves to box in the new German leader in his little spot in Europe. On the other had Schumacher said that removing Heidler was impossible for the public already supported him; the only thing they could do now was help those in Germany who still opposed Heidler, or those who wished to flee persecution. Eventually an agreement was reached on 27 March 1935 by the two leaders. Following the hammering out of details on 28 and 29 March, Schumacher, the junior of the two in age, wrote to his wife, Hilda: |

[list][list][pre]Während er [Adenauer] sich offenbar der Illusion hingibt, dass die Zentrumspartei alle Trümpfe in der Hand hat, konnten wir erfolgreich über die Einrichtung einer Organisation verhandeln, die bei der Evakuierung von Menschen in Deutschland helfen soll, die vor der neuen Regierung fliehen wollen. Es ist mir gelungen, die Idee einer Exilregierung in Angriff zu nehmen und zu unterbinden, denn ich bezweifle, dass sie sich jemals durchsetzen wird. Wir werden es das Komitee für die Freiheit Deutschlands nennen. Ein langweiliger Name, ja, aber es war das einzige, was uns zu diesem Zeitpunkt einfiel. Im März werde ich bereit sein, mit dir und Laura in unser neues Zuhause in Wilmington zu ziehen.[/pre]

[pre]While it appears he [Adenauer] is somewhat under the illusion that the Centre Party had all the cards, we were successfully able to negotiate the establishment of an organization to assist in evacuating peoples in Germany who wish to flee the new government. I was able to tackle and shut down the idea of becoming a government-in-exile, for I doubt it would ever gain any traction. We shall be calling it the Committee for German Liberty. A boring name, yes, but it was all we could think of at the time. By April I shall be ready to go with you and Laura to our new home in Wilmington.[/pre][/list][/list]

| On 3 April 1935, at the Hotel Astor in New York City, Schumacher, Adenauer and the other high-ranking former officials of both parties signed the Declaration of Opposition to the Government and Support for Freedom, officializing the establishment of the Committee for German Liberty, alternatively known as the Komitee für die Freiheit Deutschlands. Adenauer was elected the Committee's first chairman, and Schumacher the Committee's first executive director of operations and vice chairman. The group began laying down plans to campaign for funds and support from both the public and the governments of Europe and perhaps even the government of the United States, but made clear in a 7 March 1935 statement it would not be forming a government-in-exile against Heidler's government sitting in Berlin. |

OPERATION CROWD CONTROL

The result of the "Full Send Plan" appeared to have made the Qshairi Revolution situation didn't work as planned,as Adam Qshairi seemed to have gotten more bold and began charming some soldiers of the Pasukan Maziya Diraja to join his side of the conflict.With these results a new plan was drafted to take the situation to a entirely different route as it's quite obvious the Qshairi Revolt isn't gonna go away if they keep things they currently up.The new plan was made with the title "Operation Crowd control".The plan was written down on a piece of paper for any possible future uses.Operation Crowd Control is to manage the situation on a entirely more extreme route where it goes as follows.

"Operation Crowd Control,send out the normal Maziyan military alongside the Pasukan Maziya Diraja and imprison the people who side with the uprising and if they don't comply with the authorities they will be executed."

[sub]|The death of Lucius O’Brien, High King of Ireland.|[/sub][/list]

ÁRAS AN ARDRÍ, PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN, IRELAND — EARLY MORNING

[sub]It was early morning. As the rising sun illuminating the dark sky, shining its rays upon the Emerald Isle. In Dublin, the capital of Ireland, workers would crowd the streets headed towards their jobs. Inside the Áras an Ardrí (Residence of the High King), both the staffs and the maids prepared to do their tasks for the day such as cleaning, cooking and whatever plans His Majesty had for the day. Knocking on the door of His Majesty’s room, no more than three times, the head maid entered to wake up His Majesty opening the curtains, turning on the lamp and putting the newspaper on the table so he could read the news.[/sub]

[list][B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Good morning Your Majesty, it is 7:00 am and sunny. Time to rise sir.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]No response came from High King Lucius, instead, only a motionless body laid still. His Majesty, who was 70 years old, began to do less and less leaving his official duties to his son and heir Tánaist Donough. The lack of response from His Majesty prompted the head maid to make several other attempts to wake him up before approaching his body.[/sub]

[list][B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Your Majesty?”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Feeling his hand for a pulse, it was clear that there wasn’t one, then she put her ear on the High King’s chest to check to see if his heart is still beating but there was no sound to be heard at all. The coldness of his hand, along with no heart beat and the lack of motion or life was clear, His Majesty Lucius O’Brien, the High King of Ireland has died. A single gasp was made before the head maid rushed out the room. Others in the hall watched as she orders them not to enter into the room.[/sub]

[list][B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Oh Mother of God, the High King is dead. I need to tell the Taoiseach, His Royal Highness and the other Children of the High King about his death. But first I must tell Her Majesty that her husband is dead.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Rushing down to the dining hall, most of the Royal Family were together: Her Majesty, High Queen consort Sinéad, Prince Phaedrig, Princess Katherine, Princess Aoife and Princess Finola. The other two sons, Tánaist Donough and Prince Fionn decided, with the approval from their father, live with their wife and children outside the Áras an Ardrí. With Tánaist Donough, his wife Crown Princess consort Mei and their children living in Dromoland Castle in County Clare while Prince Fionn, his wife Josephine and their children are living in Cahir Castle in County Tipperary. A panicked face, the head maid looked at Her Majesty and the Royal Family would look back at the panicked head maid.[/sub]

[list][B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Your… Your Majesty...”[/sub]

[B]SINÉAD, HIGH QUEEN CONSORT:[/B] [sub]”Yes is there something wrong Mrs. Sophie? Where is

Lucius? Did you wake him yet because his food his getting cold.”[/sub]

[B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Yes, ma’am…”[/sub]

[B]SINÉAD, HIGH QUEEN CONSORT:[/B] [sub]”Ah, wonderful. So he shall be here shortly.”[/sub]

[B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”No, ma’am… His Majesty is not coming…”[/sub]

[B]SINÉAD, HIGH QUEEN CONSORT:[/B] [sub]”No? What do you mean he’s not coming?”[/sub]

[B]SOPHIE MURPHY, HEAD MAID:[/B] [sub]”Well ma’am, when I went to awaken His Majesty, he was motionless and unresponsive. His heart wasn’t beating and he was cold ma’am. I’m sorry to said this, but the High King is dead…”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Silence fell in the room and Her Majesty's face changed. Getting up, she would silently excuse herself somewhere private. The others would gasp and sadness could be felt.[/sub]

OFFICE OF THE TAOISEACH, GOVERENMENT BUILDINGS, MERRION STREET, DUBLIN, IRELAND — EARLY MORNING

[sub]It’s 8:00 in the morning, and as Taoiseach Éamon de Valera is in his office during his governmental works, one of his assistants quickly barge into his office, surprising the de Valera.[/sub]

[list][B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”Mr. de Valera sir!”[/sub]

[B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Good God, Liam, don’t scare me like that you almost give me a heart attack. Did your mother ever tell you to knock before entering?”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”I’m sorry sir but this is very urgent.”[/sub]

[B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Urgent? What’s so urgent that you need to slam open the door, barge in here, and almost give me a heart attack?”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”We receive a call from the palace, sir, about His Majesty.”[/sub]

[B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Lucius? What about His Majesty? Did something happen?”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”Well sir… you see…”[/sub]

[B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Did the cat get your tongue, Liam? What about His Majesty?”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”The High King.. is dead sir.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Silence fell in the room for a few moments until de Valera spoke to Liam.[/sub]

[list][B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Are you absolutely sure that His Majesty is dead, Liam?”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]”Yes, the head maid reports that His Majesty’s body was cold and motionless and with no heartbeat, and the doctors also confirmed that he was dead.”[/sub]

[B]ÉAMON DE VALERA, TAOISEACH:[/B] [sub]”Then we must make preparations for the His Majesty’s funeral and announce his death. We also need to inform His Royal Highness and his brother about their father’s death.”[/sub]

[B]LIAM WALSH, ASSISTANT:[/B] [sub]” Don’t worry sir. The head maid is getting into contact with them as we speak.”[/sub][/list]

CAHIR CASTLE, CAHIR, COUNTY TIPPERARY, IRELAND — MORNING

[sub]It was 9:00 in the morning. Inside the castle, Prince Fionn, his wife Josephine, and their children are all having good times together, being a family in the living room. Then the Prince’s head butler came rushing in with a panicked face, looking at His Highness. The prince looks back at the head butler.[/sub]

[list][B]CILLIAN O'SULLIVAN, HEAD BUTLER:[/B] [sub]”Your Highness...”[/sub]

[B]FIONN O’BRIEN, PRINCE:[/B] [sub]”What wrong Cillian? Why is your face looked so pale?.”[/sub]

MIDDLE EAST MOVES CLOSER TOWARDS PEACE ------ AL-RUSAFA AGREEMENT

April 7th, 1935 ----- Baghdad, Iraq

| Leaders of the Republic of Alaroth, and the Kingdoms of Islahh, Asharken, and Kotakuan Ii, met in Baghdad today and signed what pundits are saying is the next step in regional progress. All sides had met in peace and with the hopes of agreeing to a non-aggression pact that would hope to bring them closer together in friendship and mutual cooperation. President Ataturk himself was present at the summit and was quoted to have said, “It brings me joy to see such camaraderie amongst nations that, even though possess very different ideals, have the same commitment to peace as we.” This pact opens up many opportunities for trade in the region as well, with the hopes that something additional may come of this makeshift peace in the future. |

[sub]German-Ethiopian Arms Deal Concluded; Emperor Haile Selassie warns Royal Army Men and Rases; Invites Italians to Addis Adaba for Negotiations |

APRIL 1935[/sub]

[spoiler=Arms Sold by Germany]-54k rifles

-6k machine guns

-150 light artillery

-35 light interwar planes[/spoiler]

[list]|The last few years had been worrying for this country, to say the least. After an extremely chaotic accession to the throne, Emperor Haile had enacted a series of reforms in order to better modernize the country, as well as it's military. However, there were also rumblings of Italian military preparation. It was no secret that the new Fascist dictator of Italy, Benito Mussolini, had plans to improve his public image via the glory of further expansion and that prime target is this great country. Another factor was their humiliating defeat in the Italo-Ethiopian War by Emperor Menelik, solidifying Ethiopia's independence. So needless to say, extra deployments to its surrounding territories were not a good sign. |

| The Ethiopian Government had taken a number of measures to remain prepared for the security of their country. First, a military arms purchase was negotiated with New Provenance, to procure more modern arms, slated to arrive within 2 months. Then, Emperor Haile Selassie would declare a general mobilization of adult men, and begin the distribution of arms. Military advisors would be deployed immediately to train as the new men. Secondly, the Rases or the governors of the territories would be alerted to begin receiving plans of the defense routines, as well as to begin raising armies to defend their provinces. All men deemed trained and armed for the war would be deployed along defense lines along the border, in order to set up the machine guns, artillery, and anti-aircraft gun fortifications, to better take advantage of the mountainous territory.|

|Finally, the obvious best-case scenario would be a peaceful resolution, as it is stressed that this is a purely defensive maneuver. Emperor Haile Selassie invites representatives from Alzarikstan to better negotiate the scenario.|

[pre]SEEKING FINANCIAL SUPPORT IN TOKYO; PRIME MINISTER CHOI INTENDS TO BUILD A PRIVATE ARMY![/pre][/list][/list]

| As a fascist ideology spreads in the minds of mere ordinary Korean citizens, seeking popular support — the Prime Minister’s head is now focused on building a private army, which will be made up of the most professional soldiers there are. The main plan for such an idea is to gather even more force against the terrorists, but the risk of putting the peninsula into complete chaos is very high, but that is what the Prime Minister wants. Choi will put his special police and private soldiers against terrorism. |

| For at least three days, Prime Minister Choi has already started preparations for his trip to Tokyo to meet with the Prime Minister of Japan, currently an old white-haired military man, Admiral KEISUKE OKADA. The trip will aim to negotiate with the Japanese Prime Minister financial support for the private army that Choi wants to build in his fight against terrorism on the peninsula. |

[pre]The Korean Prime Minister’s visit to Tokyo to seek Japanese funding to build a private army cannot be made public, precisely to hide such plans from terrorists. The meeting will take place at the Ministry of War in Tokyo between Prime Minister Choi and Prime Minister Okada, after which Choi will pay a visit to the Japanese Emperor, “Son of Heaven”, to show respect.[/pre][/list][/list]

| To some extent, all of Prime Minister Choi’s decisions are extremely confidential and strictly written. The Prime Minister insisted to the members of the party, members of his Government, that this plan to build a private army will not go beyond the walls of the Government. Of course, Emperor Jeong was notified of such a plan and gave his full support to the Prime Minister. Knowing that Choi has a big influence in Tokyo, his plan can be carried out. |

| With negotiations going on in Tokyo. Both the Prime Minister of Japan and Prime Minister Choi reach an agreement, Japan will fund Choi’s plan by approximately $100,000 for the recruitment of professional soldiers, and Japan will supply military equipment to the private army. Tokyo supports the Prime Minister’s initiative to fight terrorism on the peninsula, which is why the Japanese Prime Minister has agreed to support it. |

With this announcement came the construction of roadblocks and checkpoints on “Roads” and trails into the Communes with signs in Norwegian stating for Norwegian authorities to avoid the area.[/pre]

[sub]-Sign posted outside the Commune of Grumant[/sub]

[pre]The Armed Soviet presence on Svalbard would be large for the sparsely populated archipelago with 1,050 Armed individuals with 550 of them being trained securities from the Red Army and 500 poorly trained Miner militia men making up the now semi-organized Proletariat Militia of Spitsbergen [Пролетарская милиция Шпицбергена] this was reported to the Norwegian authorities through messages expressing the goals of this movement to only act in self defense of the Proletariats and Soviet Citizens on Svalbard and will only act if provoked. During this time Soviets would travel to the other communities on the archipelago to promote those communities to join the Miners’ Soviet of Spitsbergen with 10 demonstrators traveling to Longyearbyen and preaching for better working conditions under the Miners’ Soviet and better pay. Others would head to the communities of Sveagruva and Ny-Ålesund to coerce them to join the new Movement. Moscow has expressed their uninvolvement with this movement stating:[/pre]

[sub] “The Proletariats of Spitsbergen have taken it upon themselves to face the perils of liberating themselves and the Soviets and industry on the Archipelago support them in this fight. If Spitsbergen wishes to liberate and join the Union that is something they will do!” [/sub]

[sub]- People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs Maxim Litvinov[/sub]

NORWEGIAN POLICE FORCES ISSUE SECOND ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF WEAPONRY AND ILLEGAL MILITIAS

The Governor of Svalbad, Uke Jenssen, immediately called the Ministry of Interior upon receiving news that the miners were organising a clear attempt to enforce Soviet dominance on an island that was, by law, Norwegian.

The Ministry of Interior confirmed that in two days, the reinforcements of the 23rd Tromso Police Division, and the 12th Narvik Police Division would arrive in Longyearbyen. Together, these forces would total 300 police officers equipped for riots. However, all were given real weapons "in case the situation escalates". Dozens of vehicles were also sent to Svalbard.

Upon arrival at Longyearbyen, the Commander of the 23rd Tromso Police Division, Thorsten Krogh and of the 12th Narvik Police Division, Ole Helland, met with Uke Jenssen, the Governor.

The reports of blocks and barricades at Barentsburg, Grumant, and Pyramiden were indeed worrying. However, Krogh and Helland advised to take a cautious approach. Any escalation could lead to a conflict on the island. While the Soviet Union attempted to show their neutrality in the matter, the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared "serious concerns that the Soviet Union is likely to be behind this sudden appearance of weaponry".

An all out storming of each town was immediately rejected. Krogh and Helland decided that while waiting for the extra Bergen Police Division led by Commander Kristian Holmboe, a step by step approach would be made with careful patience and tact.

[list]------------

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

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

TO POLICE FORCES OF THE KINGDOM OF NORWAY AT THE SVALBARD SPECIAL OPERATION

TO BRIGADE CHIEFS

- Open dialogue with representatives of the miners

- Surveillance of large gatherings by civilian observers to detect

- Proceed to be present in front of the road blocks and prevent any progression

- Condemn access to other towns by installing checkpoints in Ny Alesund and filter by search and identity/paper checks

--> If person has weapons or is registered in Annex 25 of the Decree on dangerous individuals, proceed to ARREST.

- Slight show of force (excessive presence will be seen as provocation)

ALL FOR NORWAY !

-----END MESSAGE------[/list]

With these orders, the two police divisions begin operation. It was nothing impressive nor excessive hostile but did send a message that Norwegian police was there.

Some Norwegian police officers in civilian were sent to the towns to observe and report back on the mood, activity, size of weaponry present in more detail.

The next morning, 150 officers equipped against riots and armed with rifles left as an escort and dispersed to Barentsburg, Grumant, and Pyramiden. There, miners would see around 50 police officers some distance before the town entry on the roads simply observing as "dissuasive presence".

The trucks were simply parked on the side while officers stood next to them. Where road blocks were present, the Politi did not attempt to break it but stood right in front of it, at best 10 meters from it. The officers were ordered to remain calm, civil, and restrain from any excessive action and not respond to provocations. Three words were in their mind : proportional response only.

In Longyearbyen, HQ of the Police, the entry of the town would be heavily under surveillance of road checks and different dissuasive measures of presence of police forces. The same would go for Sveagruva and Ny-Alesund.

Other smaller groups would be sent to the archipelagos of the area to simply report and observe.

For now, the entire operation was simply to be "seen" and to "see" what was really happening before any repressive measure would be taken.

In the meantime, negotiations would take place for two to three days until the Bergen Police Division would increase the Politi forces drastically.

[pre]GERMAN WORRIES OVER FRANCO-SOVIET, ITALO-SOVIET STRENGTHENING OF TIES EXPRESSED BY THE CHANCELLOR[/pre][/list][/list]

| Recent developments such as the signing of treaties amounting to mutual defense agreements between the French Republic and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the expansion and amending of the Italo-Soviet Pact has raised alarm bells within the Auswärtige Amt, or the German Foreign Office. Less than 24 hours after the Italian announcement of the amending of the Italo-Soviet Pact, the Staatskanzler, Adolph Heidler, was informed of the situation and given a top-level security briefing by the Foreign Minister, the Defense Minister, and the head of Germany's intelligence agency. The briefing convinced the Staatskanzler that all had to be done to 'prevent ourselves from getting boxed in by our enemies and countries we once thought were our allies'. Of the recent foreign developments between Paris and Moscow and Rome and Moscow, the Staatskanzler wrote to the Foreign Minister: |

[list][list][pre]Diese Entwicklungen, die Sie [heute vormittag] dargelegt haben, sind zumindest beunruhigend. Die Möglichkeit, daß unsere Feinde in Frankreich und Rußland und vielleicht jetzt auch in Italien unseren Untergang und die endgültige Vernichtung des deutschen Staates und des deutschen Volkes anstreben, wächst von Tag zu Tag in exponentiellem Maße. Wir müssen alle Vorsichtsmaßnahmen ergreifen und uns auf alle Eventualitäten vorbereiten, einschließlich einer Invasion. Vielleicht sind Sie jetzt davon überzeugt, dass es unmöglich ist, sich mit den Alliierten anzufreunden, dass es an der Zeit ist, dass wir uns in die Lage versetzen, uns und unser Volk zu verteidigen.[/pre]

[pre]These developments which you laid out [before me earlier today] are at the very least worrying. The possibility that our enemies in France and Russia, and perhaps now even Italy, seek our demise and the ultimate destruction of the German state and the people of Germany is growing exponentially every day. We must take every precaution and prepare for every eventuality, including invasion. Perhaps now you are convinced that making friends with the Allies is impossible, that it is time we make ourselves capable of defending ourselves and our people.[/pre][/list][/list]

| After two other high-profile briefings between the Staatskanzler and his Defense and Foreign Ministers, Heidler convened the Reichstag, which by now was purely and completely null and void in terms of power in government, and expressed 'great worry' over the 'recent provocative developments seen by our country, being executed by France and the Soviet Union'. He accused France and the USSR of collaborating to invade Germany, but softened his tone when speaking about Mussolini and the Italians, instead remarking that 'while the ties between Rome and Berlin may be threatened by socialist influence, the true leaders of Europe shall not bow down!'. |

| In line with the recent developments, the Staatskanzler issued a proclamation on 11 May officializing the establishment of the German Air Force, or the Luftwaffe, and announcing plans to boost funding for the Staatsmarine (State Navy) and the Staatsarmee (State Army). It was never acknowledged by the proclamation, but it effectively violated the Treaty of Versailles signed in June 1919 by Weimar Germany. It was the start of the inevitable undoing, as Heidler described it in private to the Minister of Defense. |

NEW MILITARY VEHICLE "PD-001"

A new company called "Kereta Nowfi" was founded by a Maziyan named Nowfi Ashfril,this company was built entirely around the concept of automobiles being the future of land transportation and their first ever creation was built for the military as they believed it was the best business partner for a quick injection of cash for them to start renovating their factory for any future non military projects,this first creation was the "PD-001" it was a soldier transport vehicle with enough capacity to carry around at least 30 soldiers not counting the driver seat at the front,it was made of steel with the steel being 6mm thick to stop any bullets,with it having tank treads inspired from the GLT-30 Type A,slidable doors in the carrier part of the vehicle which which are only big enough for a gunbarrel to fit through and allow them to properly aim it was built into it for the soldiers to shoot back at any enemies without having to get out however a few problems arise as its engine was only capable of going 10 miles per hour meaning it was a heavy and slow moving vehicle but the military still bought it and allowed it to see some production until they decide whether or not to mass produce it and make it a staple of their military.

With the release of this new military vehicle,one of the founders of Loke Senjata,Loke Bao Yi suspected that the engine which the PD-001 uses was a improved version on the engine which they built back in 1934 which failed massively on them with the appearance that it fixed the reliability issues but turned down the engines power as a cost to fix the reliability problems.The first 3 of the PD-001 was shipped over to the Pasukan Maziya Diraja as part of the "Full Send Plan" deal.

[list]| The liberal uprisings at Corinth in September 1934, the Greek public saw the acts of aggression that the Greek garrison at Corinth inflicted on the rioters. Their brutal ways of suppressing the riot got the Greek public thinking on whether their new Metaxist government and their ways of brutal suppression among Greek riots and protests were really the best way to go for the nation. Following the Corinth uprising, even more pockets of resistance started springing up in regions of Greece with little to non military power. A total of 17 riots, protests and uprisings have happened in Greece over the span of six months, obviously implying that something should be done to address the situation. Fearing civil war once more, the Metaxist government allowed the people to vote in a national referendum, to decide on whether or not democracy should be brought to the nation, or if Greece should be continued to be ruled by a totalitarian dictator. The public were given one week to vote, all people above the age of 17 allowed. By March 1935, votes were closed and the results were in. Most people who voted were pro-democracy, and it reflected heavily on the results of the referendum. A whopping 91.6% of voters wanted elections, the rest voting to maintain Ioannis Metaxas and his party to be the only government to rule over the nation. | [/list]

[list]| Metaxas, not wanting the nation to dive once more into civil war gave the final opinion, and his opinion was to let democracy back in, and to let Greek government parties to reform. Upon hearing the news, multiple imprisoned leaders of the old parties, such as famed Eleftherios Venizelos for the Liberal Party, were let free to regroup and to organize their parties once more. By April 1935, most parties were back in order and elections ready. The new parliamentary legislation would comprise 248 seats, with the party with 100 total seats and with no one contesting it winning elections. By this time, all major players in Greek politics of the 1930s were back, and their parties along with it. The new parties were the; People's Party, Liberal Party, Progressive Party, Agricultural and Labour Party, National Radical Party, Freethinkers' Party, Independent Party, Farmers' Party, National Alliance, Conservative Democratic Party, and the Greek Communist Party. With the parties now primed and ready, all they were waiting for are the Greek Legislative Elections to be set in July of this year. |[/list]

Crisis Averted in Italia East Africa; 300k Mobilization Terminated amid New Agreement with Addis Ababa; Rome begins Institution Building in Eritrea and Somalia

Gloria all'Italia!

[sub]Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy | ROME, 1935[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

The peace arrangements negotiated by Governor-General Graziani was illustrated as a demonstration of the soft power capabilities of Italia. Utilizing a combination of diplomatic and military statecraft, Rome has determined the new security and economic negotiations are satisfactory and an avenue toward peace has been achieved. With this, the 300,000 personnel and subsequent weaponry and equipment intended to deploy to East Africa has been ordered to remain on the Peninsula as the crisis has been averted. Nonetheless, military professionalization has been determined to remain a priority in Italia East Africa and Libya to transition militias and guerrillas into a more lethal, efficient force. With foreign affairs and security concessions being granted by Addis Ababa, Rome has switched initiatives toward nation-building and entrenching Italian economic and social authority into Eritrea and Somalia.

To achieve this, Benito Mussolini has motioned for Italian banks such as Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, and Istituto Nazionale di Credito per la Cooperazione to establish offices to formulate the financial sectors in East Africa in addition to heavy construction and industrial companies such as Rizzani de Eccher, Astaldi, and Danieli. The goal for Rome is to spark industrial, financial, and market growth locally in Eritrea and Somalia to systematically produce a new class of Italian-influenced intellectuals while intertwining Eritrean and Somalian key industries and economic sectors to the Italian peninsula.

For education, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Press and Propaganda authorized expansion of Bocconi University and Polytechnic University of Milan into Eritrea and Somalia to begin the growth of expertise in engineering, architecture, economics, finance, law, management, political science, public administration. By sending Italian professors into Eritrea and Somalia, Governor-General Graziani expects to personally mold a new intelligentsia that is prone to supporting Italian Fascism, Mussolini's principles, and direct institutional integration and assimilation into the Italian framework while allowing the people of Eritrea and Somalia to govern themselves under Italian supervision.

Following approval after a conference between army high-command of Soviet and Iraqi military, the USSR has agreed upon a contract to give aid to Iraq by providing skilled workers, materials (steel) and building modernized tank factories to increase the capacity of production per year from 24 to 50 light tanks.

In addition to industrial aid, the Soviets have sent several military advisors and strategists to the newly established Iraqi Military Academy to teach and instruct Iraqi officers and generals and pass on knowledge.

COALITION WINS NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS

May 18th, 1935

| The recent federal elections have seen the New Dawn Coalition win plurality, which sees Mustafa Kemal Atatürk retain his seat in the Presidency and sees the ousting of Mustafa İsmet İnönü from the role of Prime Minister in favor of socialist opponent, Mihri Belli. With months of careful planning and campaigning, The Coalition has seen victory not only in federal elections, but in local elections, as voter turnout amongst the peasants was greater than anticipated. |

| This also comes with many conservatives continuing their protests in the major cities and certain disgruntled politicians stepping down. News reports have also confirmed that the Sultan’s daughter, as well as other conservative statesmen, have fled the country, with there whereabouts currently being unknown. Prime Minister Belli is set to make a statement to the nation next week concerning this, as well as the future of the new Second Republic. |

MEETING ON THE QSHAIRI SITUATION

One day while in the masjid of the sultan of Maziya,Zahier Al Hafiz was sitting at the meeting table waiting for a appointment he was asked to hold.The higher ups of Maziya were all there,they were just waiting for Juaidi Asharul a advisor for the sultan and the one requested for this important meeting.Juaidi walked into the room and took his seat.

Juaidi: Sorry I'm late but I called this meeting for a reason,I'm sure we're all aware of the Qshairi situation and we all know what his plan is but I called this meeting because I need to inform everyone here,in only a matter of a few months he has managed to convince a majority of the population of Maziya to go against our current sultan,I'm suggesting we now use Operation Crowd Control.

Muhammad Nabil Jafri: Operation Crowd Control was written as a last ditch effort if there are no other options on how to control the situation,I say we prepare for a civil war rather then executing or imprison those who are against us.

Zahier Al Hafiz: I will call a public announcement if that doesn't work I'll go into diplomatic meetings with Adam Qshairi to settle things peacefully,if nothing works we shall use Operation Crowd Control if a civil war breaks out with general Adam Qshairi,although he still has his title as general he really isn't a general anymore so commander,Airyl Haffiy I suggest you notify your troops that Adam Qshairi is not truly a general.

Commander Airyl Haffiy simply saluted before leaving the office to tell the troops.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz excused everyone else and simply began writing a script for his public announcement.

[sub]R.B. Bennett’s New Deal[/sub][/list]

PARLIAMENT HILL, OTTAWA, PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, DOMINION OF CANADA/DOMINION DU CANADA (Canovia)

[sub]| PARLIAMENT HILL - PARLEMENT | — When international stock markets and economies began to crash, nations throughout the world would enter the Great Depression, in which unemployment rates skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. As the Dominion of Canada was beginning to transition into a more industrialised economy — the effects of the Great Depression saw Canada’s unemployment rate reach up to 30% (which the Prairie Provinces were hit hardest). As a result, Canada was hardest hit in North America and within the British Empire.[/sub]

[sub]With the defeat of William Lyon MacKenzie King’s Liberals in the 1930 federal elections — newly elected Conservative prime minister R.B. Bennett was unfortunate to begin his term at the start of the Great Depression. With many pleas from the Premiers of Canada’s provinces — R.B. Bennett would deny federal assistance, noting the Great Depression was short-term and “would pass” as well as stating Ontario and Quebec’s economies alone would solve their provincial problems.[/sub]

[sub]It wasn’t until numerous strikes throughout the Prairies (led by leftist and communists elements) that would force the Conservative prime minister to change his tone. Seeing his career fail politically — R.B. Bennett would take inspiration from U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to implement his own “New Deal” — aimed to ease tensions between the workers and government and provide government assistance to the unemployed.[/sub]

[sub]Speaking on Canada’s radio networks — R.B. Bennett would announce his “New Deal” in a series of five broadcasts. Promises of a more progressive taxation system; a maximum work week; a minimum wage; closer regulation of working conditions; unemployment insurance; health and accident insurance; a revised old-age pension; and agricultural support programs — Bennett’s New Deal legislation would be unopposed on Parliament Hill.[/sub]

JUNE,1935..

SULTAN,ZAHIER AL HAFIZ PUBLIC SPEECH

Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz took a step on the podium in front of hundreds of Maziyan citizens some of them are supporters of the Qshairi revolution who just wants to hear the sultan words.Sultan Zahier Al Hafiz tested to see if the microphone worked.Zahier Al Hafiz puts his paper on a table on the podium and began his speech.

"I understand some of you are reasonably not happy with the changes I made,but these changes have massively helped our nation grow to the current way it is,I understand the moment we gained independence we took a few steps back but we were able to rebound back to where we were prior if not further ahead,we've practically doubled militarily,we've improved the economy and have begun making some strides with our international presence first by becoming allies with the Kingdom Of Greece and pursuing relations with Thailand but I can't stress this enough...the Qshairi revolt isn't going to fix anything,in fact it's going to make our situation worst,this revolt will tear apart our nation as this revolt is going to result in a civil war as this revolt is meant to take me out of my position as the sultan in placement of a new central government,I hope those who are here and support Qshairi cause,I hope you hear me out and end this revolt before it's too la-"

Before the sultan could finish his speech he was shot in the shoulder by a unknown bullet,judging from the type and how nobody noticed it Muhammad Nabil Jafri suspected it came from either a soldier who went AWOL and kept his Mosin Nagant or Senapang Pantas when he left to join the revolution,Muhammad Nabil Jafri took to the podium and ordered any member of the Pasukan Maziya Diraja to find the person who shot the sultan meanwhile medics came and picked up the sultan body and quickly put him in a PD-001 which was temporarily being used as a transport vehicle so they could reach a hospital in time to save the sultan life.

THE KINGDOM OF ITALY[/pre][/list]

______

Ministry of Press and Propaganda Launches Major Anti-Serb Propaganda Campaign; Declares Mussolini the Protector of Balkan Minority Groups

Gloria all'Italia!

[sub]Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy | ROME, 1935[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

The establishment of the Balkan Pact between Yugoslavia and Greece came as a surprise to Rome. National Fascist Party senior leadership, the military senior command, and Mussolini's cabinet were left rather puzzled and shocked that Italia was isolated from the establishment of said pact for the future of the Balkan region. With the statement from the Soviet Union's People's Commissar of Foreign Relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Press and Propaganda have launched an extensive propaganda campaign entitled Operazione Angrona. Operazione Angrona intends to expand Italian fascist propaganda to Yugoslav minority groups and across the Italian Kingdom, including the Italian Near Abroad to make it clear that Belgrade and Athens have seemingly betrayed Rome and only seeks to bring Italia into submission and subjugation. The propaganda campaign would include the increased activation and presence of the Blackshirts in addition to the interesting presence of the Italian Askaris in Rome. An increase of Italian flags, the fasces, and portraits of Mussolini have been observed while double the normal presence of journalists and corner newsletter gatherings became clear. Similar to the Soviets, the Ministry of Press and Propaganda would disperse millions of leaflets that call into question the true nature of the Balkan Pact, the brutality of Belgrade, the sneakiness of Athens, and the necessity of pushing forth more aggressively the tenets of Italian Fascism.

As a means of national prestige and growing authoritative power, small scale military parades would be orchestrated in Libya, Peninsular Italia, Eritrea, and Somalia while the Italo-Yugoslav border would endure small-scale protests to show disapproval of the new Balkan Pact. Within the leaflets and radio messaging, Benito Mussolini gave the following:

[list][list][pre]”The intentional isolation of Italia from this Balkan Pact is a demonstration that individuals whom we viewed as friends and dear comrades truly possess a knife behind their back as they shake the hand of Rome. This pact, one made out of rushed short term strategy has imposed a validation to the rumors spread around Italy that Serbians only seek domination of their minorities and subjugation of the Italian spirit instead of peace, cooperation, prosperity, and growth. Rome is disappointed in this push to isolate Italy from a region we have breath and life to centuries ago! We hope both Greece and Yugoslavia understand the points of Italy and will reconvene to include Rome into the security and peacefulness of the Balkans and its neighboring regions.”[/pre][/list][/list]

With this statement, a secret memo was sent to the modernizing Italian military complex to begin a mass production of the recently completed M 14/35 Medium Tank in addition to "L3 Lf" flamethrower (lancia fiamme) flame tanks and standard L3/35 tankettes. The Italian military command and the senior staff of Italian diplomatic officials would call for emergency meetings in Rome in addition to increased correspondence with the Soviet Union regarding the ongoing situation in the Balkans.

MINISTER Kâzım Fikri Özalp MEETS WITH SOVIET COUNTERPART; MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK FALLS ILL

June 23rd, 1935

| Turkish Defense Minister Özalp met with Minister Litvinov in Moscow today to discuss the concerning cooperation between the countries of Yugoslavia and Greece. The previous non-aggression agreement between Greece and Turkey, notwithstanding, Turkish forces have been put on high alert and have been stationed within the limits of the prior treaty, however, within an alarming distance from the demilitarized zone. Turkish ships have as well been deployed, and naval patrols have been established to ensure the nation’s protection of trade coming through the straits, with Turkey having suspended Greek and Yugoslav access to the Black Sea. |

| Within hours of this news coming through, Turkish President of the First and Second Republics, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, has fallen ill to what physicians say is a cirrhosis of the liver. He collapsed during a briefing concerning Joint Soviet-Turkish military exercises in the Caucuses, and it was assumed that it was the combination of lack of sleep and stress that had aided his worsening. However, upon further examination, it was indicated that it was liver disease that had befallen him. As of this moment, he has been ordered bed rest and has ceded temporary control to Prime Minister Belli, who is current joint acting President and Prime Minister of the Republic until Ataturk recovers, which is currently unknown. |

MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR: GOVERNMENT'S WEEK

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, JUNE 1935[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR - | Towering Premier Pierre-Étienne Flandin, who broke his arm in an automobile accident recently was well enough last week to leave the hospital for his home in Paris. Going strictly against the doctor's orders, he insisted on working. His first move was to call a hurried conference with Finance Minister Louis Germain-Martin and Jean Tannery of the Bank of France.[/sub]

[sub]Parliament, after the municipal runoff elections a fortnight ago where communist and other leftist parties made distinctive gains is set to reopen next week. One outstanding problem faces the Deputies and that is whether or not to devalue the franc. French gold has been flowing to U.S. since April. The French tourism industry has been barely maintaining it's annual benchmarks from the year prior and French exports have stagnated as well. Switzerland, France's strongest ally on the gold-bloc is also set to go to the polls this month to vote on devaluation. The leader of the forces yelling for devaluation in the Chamber is former Minister of Finance Paul Reynaud. Defending the gold franc with his back to the wall, bristle-haired Louis Germain-Martin manifestoed: "The most tendentious sort of reports are going around about the Government's intentions. The Government opposes to these rumors the most vigorous denial. It is and continues firmly attached to it's doctrine. It intends to assure and will assure necessary recovery."[/sub]

[sub]France's Foreign Minister, swarthy Pierre Laval, completed his historic visit to Moscow which was the most important step in restoring France's hegemony over Europe. At Cracow, on his way back he was able to take time off from the obsequies of Marshal Pilsudski for a three hour private conversation with Prussian Premier Göring. Once back in Paris, he had hardly time to change his socks before hurrying off to Geneva for the important three-power conference on Abyssinia. He denied rumors that as a result of the Göring meeting in Cracow he would visit Berlin in two weeks for a direct conference with Adolf Heidler.[/sub]

[sub]After days of uncertainty that had sent hundreds of police and Gardes Mobiles to keep order in Le Havre, Mercantile Marine Minister William Bertrand was able to announce that the striking crews of French liners had accepted the Government's compromise and had gone back to work. Four days late the Champlain sailed for New York with 22 passengers and 500 tons of freight. The French line was able to announce that the highly touted maiden voyage of the Normandie, the world's largest ocean liner, would occur on schedule. The cause of the strike was the seaman's demands that at least 80% of crews be paid on a yearly basis instead by the individual trip. Minister Bertrand's compromise put 50% of all French line crews on annual salaries. |[/sub]

MAZIYA CURRENT ISSUES

Sultan of Maziya,Zahier Al Hafiz was rushed into the hospital and was put into a bed for them to remove the bullet.Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz was bleeding out from the shot many of the doctors feared that their young sultan will die from blood loss as they were removing the bullet from his shoulder after the bullet was removed it was put aside as they began trying to clean the wound to stop any possible infections from entering the body via the wound,after all that they wrapped his shoulder in a bandage. "Sultan Zahier Al Hafiz health isn't in critical threat but he will most likely be out cold for a while and have to remain in the hospital to fully recover." Said one of the doctors.

Meanwhile within the masjid of the sultan the people higher ups began arguing who should fill his place as a temporary sultan until he fully recovered the people who were most likely to become the temporary sultan were Juaidi,Muhammad Nabil Jafri and both of the sultan sisters eventually this was resolved with Juaidi being appointed as the temporary sultan until the true sultan has recovered but over in the southern part of Maziya which was designated as the headquarters of the Qshairi Revolution it was in a absolute panic as civilians who supported the Qshairi Revolution carried around wood with the writing "Let the era of the Sultans end" some civilians took it to a much more extreme protest the moment law officers came to handle the protest as the civilians began throwing rocks and sticks at the officers this act of assault gave the officers the right to open fire.

From that incident reportedly 3 out of 20 officers were killed...5 of them injured and 10 out of the 100 protesters were shot dead,5 gravely injured and close to death.After this incident,Adam Qshairi used this massacre as a example of how the sultan has failed if they allow officers to shoot down their fellow Maziyans in cold blood if been assaulted and promised to change that once he takes over the position as the leader of Maziya.

PASSING OF POWER

TomᚠMasaryk has declared his recognition as the President of Czechoslovakia. As the recent elections have put Varos Devorcek into power. A right-wing Western Loyal Man. The peaceful transition has led the Czech-Slovak Democratic Nationalists into further advancement. Masaryk Had a good talk during the transition. As both Men are great dear friends.

"Today is a great day for the Czechoslovakia Republic. My aim is to unite us and our Slavic Brothers. The USSR and communism Cannot and will not suppress us. As their threats seem to become of something larger foreboding. The chains of Communism cannot hold our limitations from our Nationalism and freedom!"

-Devorcek

"Dnes je skvělý den pro Československou republiku. Mým cílem je spojit nás a naše slovanské bratry. SSSR a komunismus nás nemůže potlačit. Zdá se, že jejich hrozby se stávají něčím větším předem. Řetězy komunismu nemohou mít naše omezení od našeho nacionalismu a svobody!"

[sub]National Railway Project Announced|

JUNE 1935[/sub]

[list]| Peace had been declared between the Ethiopian Empire and the Italian Empire through fruitful negotiations, avoiding a potentially catastrophic war for the largely agricultural peoples. Through this, the Italians had canceled their mass troop deployments, and the Emperor issued a demobilization and withdrew the draft declaration, allowing the peoples to remain. However, in order to truly build upon these newfound relations, and to move past the war in the past and recent escalations, the Emperor's government found it necessary to build connections with Italian East Africa, and the rest of the Horn of Africa. Therefore, a giant Infrastructure Project had been announced, one of the first of its kind, foreign investment aiding it.|

| The first goal would be to connect previously isolated regions of the Empire with Addis Adaba, both for better control, and better trade productivity. The second goal would be to enhance trade with neighboring colonies and to gain easier access to ports. The first section inside of Ethiopia would be centered in the capital of Addis Adaba, and extend to the following cities: Gondar, Jimma, Harar, Diredawa, Neghelli, Dolo, Mega, Gambela, Asosa, Debra Markos, Dessie, Maji, and Lechemti. The second part would connect to Italian East Africa, Alzarikstan, connecting nearby cities and by extension Addis Adaba to Massawa, Assab, and Mogadishu. Finally, the railway infrastructure to Djibouti City in French Somaliland, Metropolitan Francais, would be expanded, in order for potential use to export and import goods, an attempt to establish the same quality across the Horn. |

|The Emperor is attempting to establish while he can, riding off his wave of popularity following the successful negotiations. The railway project seems to be a good way to begin the industrialization of the nation without fully initiating the change, due to the Great Depression making foreign investment scarce, which has left Ethiopia in relatively the same positioning. Further expansions are expected as the project progresses, but as of right now, the completion is expected to be in early 1941.|

2 WEEKS LATER

2 weeks were done with sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz in the hospital before being released and resume his duty as sultan,1 week was needed to recover and the 2nd week was used to make sure he is in perfect condition and able to resume his duties however when the sultan was picked up by the temporary sultan Juaidi,people began crowding around the sultan asking him to.

"Stop the police brutality" and "Resign as sultan hand over the position as leader to Qshairi!"

Luckily,Muhammad Nabil Jafri stepped in with the Pasukan Maziya Diraja and ushered the crowd of people away from the sultan.When they were somewhere more private,Muhammad Nabil Jafri gave a report on the Qshairi situation.

"Qshairi has recently increased his public image with the people portraying himself as a saint with you as a devil from the bottomless pit,especially after the officer massacre event just 2 weeks ago,Juaidi as the temporary sultan tried to do as much damage control as possible but it wasn't enough as Qshairi still continued to expand his sphere of influence over the people,and Qshairi has been going around claiming he will start a civil war if the sultan doesn't resign."

Zahier Al Hafiz took a paper out of his desk and gave it to Muhammad Nabil Jafri with writing on it which goes.

"You have authorisation to execute Operation Crowd Control,start a assault on the Qshairi Revolution headquarters and build up the military for war."

welcome back sir:)

[pre]June, 1935 | Khartoum, The British Imperial Crown Colony Of The Sudan[/pre]

THE CALM BEFORE DEMOCRACY

Much of the Sudanese heartland has now been swept by Sudanese nationalist fervour in the previous dozen months, as tensions continued to mount amongst the White League Unionist faction, in favor of union with Egypt, and The Confluence Nationlists faction, in favor of an independent Sudanese state. This division and tensions between both factions have been more prominent in the industrial centers of Port Sudan, Atbarah, and Khartoum. Where frequent demonstrations and marches and sometimes clashes between both sides intensified.

While the colony continues it’s integrationist policies to the subjects of the Sudan, more and more of the Sudanese population would find itself subscribing to a specific political ideology as the years pass. What was once a battle for dominance over Khartoum had spilled over throughout the entire country. The up and coming, growing educated populated centers of the Sudanese south such as Juba, Malakal, Bor, and Wau have found themselves increasingly aligned with the ideals of The Confluence in Khartoum. Just like the Nationalists, the South has grown increasingly in favor of African and Black Nationalism while showing deep hostilities towards the growing Pro-Egyptian bloc up north.

The Unionist had long struggled to find support down in the south and elsewhere in rural Sudan. This would eventually pressure them to reconfigure themselves in the past year, as they found it easier to campaign for the League's cause, by spreading the message of Valley Unity. This would lead to many members of the faction as well as officials denying that they are Pro-Cairo as they claim it accuses the Leauge of being subjects or “below Egypt”. The League claims both the Egyptians and Sudanese are equal citizens of the Nile Valley and that the unity of a strong state, rallying around the mighty river, is essential to the survival and prosperity of both peoples. This message of Nile Valley Unity had resonated well with the wealthy and educated businessmen of the north, primarily in the Nubian cities of Dongola, Karima, and Wadi Halfa, that wish to see themselves once again united with their Nubian brothers across the border, under what they hope would become a Sudo-Egyptian state.

Nevertheless, other factions have also attempt to rise in the shadows of the Nationalists and Unionists, factions such as the Umma that wish to see the return of Sudan to its Mahdiya State, or the Fur Nationalists who wish to see the independence of Darfur and the reinstatement of its sultan, even the Royalist, who have pledged their allegiance to the British Empire and the Crown, presumably made up of British and European settlers in Sudan, who make up about 3% of the colonial population.

A PARLIAMENT TO BE DECLARED

With the process of a Sudanization having already been on the road, a meeting would take place amongst the colonial administration in Khartoum, attended by both Speaker Maffey and Governor-General Khalil. The meeting came as a response to recent growing nationalist demonstrations across the country, demanding the British Legislative Administration of Colonial Sudan hold elections in hopes that the so called elites in power would be replaced by more Sudanese people. It is in this meeting that the Legislature would come to an important decision.

Following the BLACS session, a unanimous agreement has been made as the administration announces to the colony the creation of what would become the Sudanese Parliament. A larger body of government that would reflect more accurately on the Sudanese people and their ambitions as well as adhere to them as the source of their power. By this, the BLACS would be granting the Sudanese people their first ever practice of democracy and self rule in the history of Sudan. The first Sudanese Parliament is scheduled to be established with its first session in June of 1936. Just one year from today.

With the announcement, a great national mobilization has been made for the creation of political parties, voting groups, institutions, and structures. It is unknown how many political factions could be created following the announcement but it seems many in the colony are excited to be given the chance to politically express themselves. The British are themselves excited to see the experimentation of democracy occurring in Sudan within the coming months, in hopes that it shall ease tensions in the colony and help focus that energy towards the great halls of debate and not the fields of battle.

From the desk of President of Akloo

History was made today when the first murderer of the Drummarick state was executed by firing squad. Ananl Poricus was a banker in the center of Drummarick who killed 5 children by CENSORED means. The king gave the message "this will stop the murder"

There were celebrations as Sultan Zahier Al Hafiz lived a bullet to the chest. The military have announced they would send 2000 troops to help with the rebellions. The crowning of King Akala as king of the united states of Drummarick after the military took over Mozambique

Princess of the Seas

The Yugoslav Navy recently has been nicknamed as "Princess of the Seas" by it commanders due the small number of vessels in service, despiting the recent deals performed by the government in the aquisition and modernization of capital ships this number haven't changed much, therefore recently the Yugoslav navy has focused in the aquisiton of small to medium sized vessels in order to improve the capacity of it in the protection of it coast, recently three contracts were signed: one with France for the aquisiton of four Beograd-class destroyers and four Émili Bertain light cruisers; other with the German shipyards for the aquisition of one Deutschland class heavy cruiser; the last one with Greeks for the construction of another heavy cruiser,until without a official name. As the navy get's slowly close to a modern standard the Yugoslav commanders have declared recently that the modernization process will soon get concluded with possible few orders in the future focused in the aquisiton of small vessels and maybe a new capital ship.

June 1935

British Malaya celebrates a victory over the people of Johor after reinstating the state of Johor back into British Malaya,along with that the creation of the KC-1.0 "Kuching" had been completed with testing and approval for mass production before it was revealed to the soldiers,the KC-1.0 was a automatic sub machine gun with a cylinder barrel,bottom grip for recoil management,a 20 round magazine on top of the guns barrel and it was capable of shooting out 8 bullets per second the only problem which came from it was the fact that it had such a high rate of fire meaning they would be wasting bullets a lot and with British Malaya right now in the state of rebuilding it's economy after the great depression this meant that bullets supplies were low so the KC-1.0 "Kuching" would not be used as the primary Malayan weapon until they can get everything under control and stable again.

[sub]土地產業化[/sub]

INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE LAND[/list]

[sup]新京、滿洲帝國[/sup]

HSINKING, EMPIRE OF MANCHUKUO

[sub]MANCHU IMPERIAL PALACE[/sub]

| The first year of Kangde — Puyi having been enthroned as the Kangde Emperor in February, after two years of rule as the "Datong Emperor" — would begin auspiciously, with numerous plans in terms of industrialization drawn up by the planning authorities of Manchukuo in the General Affairs State Council, made up of Chinese ministers shadowed by Japanese vice-ministers, and for now standing under the leadership of Prime Minister Zheng Xiaoxu. The order of the day would be tall and awesome: Many areas of the country still suffer bandit and rebel attacks; Hsinking, the capital, is in a large process of construction; and factories are in dire need of fresh investment — Something Tokyo would be more than happy to provide, with major sums of money going the way of Manchukuo. The resources and industrial capacities of Manchuria, once the industrial heartland of China, are a rich bounty for Japan and indeed, its Empire. Its population of 30 million is rustic and hard-working; it currently numbers 29 million Chinese and Manchus; 680,000 Koreans, mostly living on the southern border; 590,000 Japanese, officials, white-collar workers, farmers and settlers; and around 95,000 other nationalities, chief among whom White Russian refugees and Mongols, who are found on their respective peripheries. Despite such diversity, it would be noted that none of those groups were sufficiently motivated to stage rebellions or ask for privileges. Nonetheless, multi-ethnic cohesion would need to be preserved at some point. For this purpose, the Japanese authorities devised a plan to settle Manchukuo with Japanese families, which would consolidate the Empire's hold and structure the nation's territory around nuclei of Yamato subjects. The current goal is to achieve a target of 400,000 new Japanese settlers by 1939. It would not prove a difficult task, for jobs, both qualified and unqualified, urban or rural, industrial or agricultural, are found aplenty, and allow the adventurous souls who venture into Manchuria to earn sometimes the double of what they are paid in Japan. The rest of the "five races" to be found in Manchukuo would not be treated as inferiors to the Japanese, but as equals, in line with the Pan-Asian ideals in vogue among the Army circles. For this purpose, the Concordia Association of Manchukuo was created, Manchukuo's only authorized party, whose task is to promote racial harmony and bridge cultural ties, without trying to erase each group's native culture. In order to carry out future reforms, a stable economic environment is also needed. Such is the task of the Central Bank of Manchou, headquartered in the capital, which now issues the "Manchukuo yuan", a currency in parity with the Japanese yen, which is predicted to do much good for the country's economic stability in the coming years. Beyond this objective of stabilizing the currency, the Bank is also set to fulfill traditional banking roles, such as issuing credit in industry and agriculture. |

| As it stands, the natural bounty of Manchukuo is left mostly under-exploited or not exploited at all. In response, technicians and planners have been flocking to the Manchurian frontier from all parts of the Empire, but their political opinions strongly differ from that of the ultra-nationalistic Kwantung Army officers, to which they are de facto subject. Most are young, idealistic government workers, believing in Soviet-style planning and having Socialist tendencies. Those Japanese belonged to the middle-class or to the elite, and saw a tremendous rise in political responsibility during the last decade, but had since then been forced to renounce their ideas and "convert". Manchukuo, however, would prove a golden opportunity for them, as the Empire was in dire need of their skills, and would allow them a superior degree of independence in the Far East than at home. As such, state planning would be at the heart of future reforms, and the Army and the government cadres would find a common drive, uniting them beyond their difference: The rapid, forced modernization and industrialization of Manchukuo, to turn it into East Asia's industrial heartland. |

[list][sub]TOTAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION & FIGURES — MANCHUKUO, 1935 (Planned):

[*] SOY — 1.5 MILLION TONNES

[*] COTTON (and assorted fabrics) — 25,000 TONNES

[*] FORESTRY PRODUCTS — 4 MILLION CUBIC METRES

[*] FARMING (OTHER PRODUCTS) — 120,000–160,000 square kilometres (46,000–62,000 sq mi) of cultivable land, around Liaotung Bay[/sub][/list]

[*] IRON — 7,000,000

[*] STEEL — 450,000

[*] ALUMINIUM — 145 MILLION

[*] COPPER — 100

[*] LEAD — 1,200

[*] ZINC - 390 [/sub][/list]

| Manchukuo's path to prosperity laying chiefly in central state planning, a natural corollary is the exclusion of Zaibatsu conglomerates from the Empire's mainland. Such was done with the accord of Kwantung Army officers, who abhorred those entities seen as aristocratic and corrupt. Therefore, new state entreprises, standing under the direct control of the Kwantung Army officers, the management of the government workers, and powered with the cheap labor of exploited Chinese masses, were to be created in all of the major cities of Manchukuo. The vast resources of the land would be directly utilized on the soil of Manchukuo itself, making it more than just a cornucopia to be plundered, but effectively turning it into a major industrial center of extraction and production. The important freight logistics of this entreprise would be carried out by the already-established dense network of the South Manchuria Railway Company. |

[list][sub]INDUSTRIAL PLANNING & COMPANIES — MANCHUKUO, 1934 to 1939 (Planned):

[*] Dowa Automobile Company, Mukden

[*] Kirin Breweries, Mukden

[*] Morishita Jintan Pharmaceutics, Mukden

[*] Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company, Harbin

[*] Shōwa Steel Works, Mukden [Fengtian] Province

[*] Manchurian National Airways, Hsinking

[/sub][/list]

| With this roadmap now set in stone, and a stable influx of bright minds from Japan, Manchukuo looks to its future as the Japanese Empire's brightest and most industrious subject. There is no doubt that this frontier can prosper and attain its greatest heights, all under the benevolent leadership of the Shōwa Emperor and the Imperial Japanese Army. |

The Franco-Balkan Entente Cordiale which has been signed by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Kingdom of Greece, and Republic of France on the 28th of June, 1935 has officially come into full effect. The basis of the pact is the assured common defense of the three signatory states in the event of an attack from any outside force. It also calls for direct cooperation and coordination in military affairs such as training, joint use of naval ports and facilities, and the sale of military equipment. The conclusion of the Franco-Balkan Entente Cordiale has been a joint effort between the French, Yugoslav, and Greek Governments in hopes of maintaining peace in the Balkan region and dissuading foreign aggressors. | [/sub]

"I see it as needed to establish relations with our south Slavic brothers, yet also France and Greece, one of our greatest allies! As these countries along with us embraced our independence. I want to further these great relations. As I proposed an alliance or pact between France, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia. I yet don't want to propose the rules of this alliance quite yet as this is not approved to go along yet. France, Yugoslavia, and Greece I'd ask this proposal to be looked into."

-Varos Devorcek

"Vidím to, jak je potřeba navázat vztahy s našimi jižními slovanskými bratrami, ale také Francie a Řeckem, jedním z našich největších spojenců! Vzhledem k tomu, že tyto země spolu s námi přijaly naši nezávislost. Chci dále tyto velké vztahy. Jak jsem navrhl alianci nebo pakt mezi Francií, Řeckem, Jugoslávií a Československem. Nechci ještě navrhnout pravidla této aliance docela, protože to není schváleno, aby šel ještě. Francie, Jugoslávie a Řecko bych požádal, že tento návrh bude podívat."

[list]| With most major and largest cities with large population centers in Greece being improved, particularly Athens, Megara and Thessaloniki, a large chunk of the Greek population of Greece in these non-rural areas have been properly housed, with housing spanning all around the city centers. This was part of an infrastructure act passed earlier this decade, which saw Greece's major cities being drastically improved in terms of standards of living. This only applied to large and heavily populated cities however, ignoring rural, underdeveloped, areas in Greece like the regions of Thrace and Epirus. To build new housing and infrastructure however, including roads and bridges, would be rather troublesome due to the funding required for such a grand project. That's when Greek logistics turned to the French to fund the project, and talks were soon held. It was eventually agreed for the French to fund 40% of the project, the rest being funded by Greece itself. The infrastructure project would be finished and ready by 1937, with these rural areas going to be transformed into thriving cities. |[/list]

[list]| Another project to be made was the improvement of the Greek National Railway System (GNRS). The Greek railway system had been neglected for the past decade in favor of more 'important' projects such as national defense and infrastructure. With these now underway however, the funding for the Greek railways are now open, and construction of the following lines have commenced:

[list][list][spoiler=Greek National Railway Lines]

Public Transport Railways (Can be Used for Military Transit)

The Tasli to Stavros line at Orfanu Bay.

The Perivolaki – Nea Zichni railway line.

The Skydra (Vertekop) – Aridaia line.

The Athens - Corinth railway line (military use)

The Thessaloniki - Kavala line (military use)

Railways of The Greek State Railways (SEK):

The Armenochori – Skotsidir line

The Goumenitsa line

The Dimitritsi (Gudeli) to Kopriva (Kurfali) line

The Katerini – Dramista line[/list][/spoiler][/list][/list]

Construction of the lines will be finished by 1938 - 1939, and most Greek lines that have already been built have been modernized and fixed to carry larger and heavier locomotives. |

JULY 1935...

PREPARATIONS FOR A CIVIL WAR

Muhammad Nabil Jafri had been training his troops alongside Airyl Haffiy troops relentlessly to prepare them for a war,after seeing how the PD-001 could also be used a medical vehicle when the sultan was shot and had to be brought into a hospital,Muhammad Nabil Jafri would borrow some of the spare PD-001 which weren't being traded to the Kingdom Of Greece to have them vehicles for emergency medical vehicles during the conflict to either help the soldiers in the PD-001 if it's a minor injury or drive them to a hospital for more life threatening injuries the PD-001 which were assigned as medical vehicles would have simple medical equipment at the back where the soldiers are supposed to sit.After getting all of the PD-001 medical variants settled,Muhammad Nabil Jafri would make a quick stop at the weapon company Loke Senjata for them to design a new gun,Muhammad Nabil Jafri would ask for a gun which was.

1.A close range weapon.

2.Small and easy to carry around.

3.Useful as a backup weapon

Under these request,Loke Bao Yi would sketch out a revolver with two barrels and if everything goes to plan it would be completed in 1937.

[pre]THE RISE OF THE LUFTABWEHRKRÄFTE, GERMANY'S AIR DEFENSE FORCES[/pre][/list][/list]

| In 1933, with the introduction of the MEFO bill programs developed by Hjalmar Schacht, the President of the Staatsbank and the Minister for Economy, top secret development of a German air force, prohibited under the Treaty of Versailles in entirety, began. Chief of the Luftabwehrkräfte General Staff Walther Wever sought in late 1934 to mold the Luftabwehrkräfte's battle doctrine into a formal, concrete strategic plan. At this time secret war games were conducted by Wever and the Luftabwehrkräfte, simulated against France, in a bid to establish his theory that strategic bombing could, by crippling the enemy industry, decisively win a war. A 1935 Luftabwehrkräfte Regulation, named Regulation 16: The Conduct of the Air War, formalized this theory into Luftabwehrkräfte doctrine. Of Regulation 16, Wever said: |

[list][list][pre]Theoretisch ist es möglich, den Feind durch mehrere neue Methoden der Luftmacht zu vernichten, die dank der Fortschritte in der Luftfahrttechnik möglich geworden sind. Erstens könnte eine feindliche Luftwaffe durch die Bombardierung ihrer Luftwaffenstützpunkte und Flugzeugfabriken sowie durch die Ausschaltung von Luftstreitkräften, die deutsche Ziele angreifen, lahmgelegt werden. Durch die Zerstörung wichtiger Eisenbahnlinien, Straßen und insbesondere von Brücken und Tunneln, die für die Verlegung und den Nachschub von Truppen unerlässlich sind, kann die Verlegung von Truppen in entscheidende Gebiete verhindert werden. Luftstreitkräfte können sich auch an der Unterstützung von Bodenoperationen der Staatsarmee unabhängig von Eisenbahnen und gepanzerten und motorisierten Kräften beteiligen, indem sie den gegnerischen Vormarsch behindern und sich direkt an Bodenoperationen beteiligen. Marineoperationen können auch durch Angriffe auf gegnerische Marinestützpunkte und Werften sowie durch den Schutz deutscher Marinestützpunkte und die direkte Beteiligung an Marineoperationen unterstützt werden. Schließlich können die feindlichen Streitkräfte durch die Zerstörung und Einstellung ihrer Rüstungsproduktion durch die Zerstörung ihrer Rüstungsbetriebe und Produktionsanlagen lahmgelegt werden.[/pre]

[pre]It is possible, in theory, to destroy the enemy through several new methods using air power, now possible thanks to advancements in aviation technology. First, an enemy air force could be crippled by bombing its air bases and aircraft factories, and by defeating air forces attacking German targets. Movement of forces to decisive areas can be prevented through the destruction of key railways, roads, and in particular bridges and tunnels, which are indispensable for the movement and supply of forces. Air forces may also partake in supporting ground operations of the Staatsarmee independent of railways and armored and motorized forces by impeding the enemy advance and participating directly in ground operations. Naval operations may also be supported by attacking enemy naval bases and shipyards, as well as protecting German naval bases and partaking directly in naval operations. Finally, the enemy armed forces may be paralyzed by the destruction and halting of their production of armaments through the destruction of their arms factories and production facilities.[/pre][/list][/list]

| Under Wever's leadership in early 1935, the Luftabwehrkräfte increased funding for the development of several aircraft including the Dornier Do 17 medium bomber aircraft, the Junkers Ju 89 heavy bomber design proposal, the Dornier Do 19 heavy bomber proposal, and the Messerschmitt Bf 109 single engine multirole combat fighter. The Do 17, Ju 89 and Do 19 are all currently under the scrutiny of the Heidler government as the bombers underperform compared to Wever's requirements for a "Ural bomber", while the Bf 109 is expected to be introduced as a mainstream fighter by 1937. Plans to further develop the capabilities of the Luftabwehrkräfte based off of Wever's doctrine, Regulation 16, have been put into play, with proposals for long-range bombers as well as more agile, better-equipped fighters being investigated by the German Government. With the formal recognition of the existence of the Luftabwehrkräfte earlier this year, funding for the previously secret branch of the military is now able to flow more freely, allowing for its projects to proceed at a much faster rate than before. |

A GIANT FALLS - FIRST MARSHAL JÓZEF PIŁSUDSKI DIES AGED 67

May 12, 1935

Warsaw, Kingdom of Poland

| A rather private man, Józef Piłsudski never spoke on personal matters - not even to the Sanation regime ruling Poland which he was the strongman of. And so his death, after years of battling liver cancer, came as a shock not just to the people of Poland, but also to the 14 members of Sanation's inner circle, who considered themselves Piłsudski's closest confidants. |

| Ignacy Mościcki, once a friend and fellow member of Sanation, now the embittered Opposition Leader of Poland, had the most to gain from the First Marshal's death. But Mościcki instead mourned the loss of "the father of modern Poland", and joined the spontaneous celebration of Piłsudski's life that broke out just minutes after his death was announced in Warsaw. |

| Nominally, the Sanation regime was headed by the Prime Minister, Walery Sławek - however, Sławek and the Polish people themselves knew that nothing got approved without Piłsudski's say-so. An authoritarian movement that stopped short of being a full-blown dictatorship, Sanation had remained popular since the 1926 coup off two platforms - since its inception, the popularity of Piłsudski, and in more recent years, sound economic decisions such as expansion of the Gdynia Seaport. With the death of Piłsudski, the movement had lost the more stable of the two platforms, and in accordance with Piłsudski's will, the more conservative and authoritarian Edward Rydz-Śmigły was appointed his successor. |

| Ceremonies and masses have been announced across the country, and a funeral train will tour the Kingdom carrying Piłsudski's coffin. In life, the First Marshal oversaw the re-emergence of the Polish nation 123 years after the Final Partition, and commanded Polish forces in six wars that redrew Poland's borders, including the 'Miracle on the Vistula' which saw Poland, on the brink of defeat, push back and achieve victory over the Soviet Union. |

| Without its most important founding father, and with an election coming up in September this year, who knows what direction the Kingdom of Poland shall go now... |

[spoiler="I am not going to dictate to you what you write about my life and work.

I only ask that you not make me out to be a 'whiner and sentimentalist.'"

- Józef Piłsudski's will, 1908, before the Bezdany raid]

[pre]GERMAN REMILITARIZATION AMBITIONS GROW WITH ESTABLISHMENT OF CONSCRIPTION, ARMS PROLIFERATION IN THE FORCES[/pre][/list][/list]

| The Staatsarmee, or the State Army, is the ground forces branch of the Streitkräfte, or the Armed Forces of Germany. Restricted in size, strength and capacity by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the Staatsarmee, or the Armee in short, has been significantly weaker compared to the neighbors of Germany such as France and Poland and Britain. With the advent of militarism under the Heidler government and the DVP, remilitarization began in secret under the MEFO bill program of banker and Staatsbank President Hjalmar Schacht in 1933 and 1934. Of the three branches of the Streitkräfte, the Armee received the most attention and secret funding in terms of remilitarization efforts. Focusing primarily on expanding the officer corps of the Armee as well as reforming its battle doctrine to adapt a combined arms operational doctrine, the Armee's reforms began in earnest in 1934 with the death of Paul von Hindenburg and the establishment of Heidler as the sole head of state and head of government. Of remilitarization, the Minister of Defense said: |

[list][list][pre]Es ist zwingend erforderlich und für die Interessen des Staates in der Tat lebenswichtig, dass Anstrengungen unternommen werden, um die territoriale Integrität Deutschlands und die Sicherheit seiner Völker und Interessen zu gewährleisten, selbst wenn dies bedeutet, den allzu restriktiven und offen gesagt überholten Vertrag von Versailles zu verletzen. Die Alliierten schwimmen weiterhin in unseren Reparationen, während sie sich weigern, den Kampf Deutschlands anzuerkennen, das versucht, sich gegen die bolschewistische Bedrohung mit den wenigen Kräften zu verteidigen, die es nach dem Versailler Vertrag legal besitzen darf. Von jetzt an [November 1934] an sollen Anstrengungen unternommen werden, um die Erreichung dieser Ziele gemäß der Forderung des Leders und der Forderung des deutschen Staates, eine angemessene und starke Verteidigungskraft zu besitzen, sicherzustellen.[/pre]

[pre]It is imperative and indeed vital to the interests of the State that efforts be made to ensure Germany's territorial integrity and the security of its peoples and interests, even if it means violating the overly restrictive and frankly outdated Treaty of Versailles. The Allies continue to swim in our reparations while they refuse to recognize the struggle of Germany in attempting to defend itself from the Bolshevik menace with what little forces it is legally allowed to possess under the Versailles Treaty. Efforts shall be made from now [November 1934] and onward to ensure the achievement of these goals per request of the Leder and the requirement of the German state to possess a proper and strong forces of defense.[/pre][/list][/list]

| The new Staatsarmee operational doctrine, formulated by the Armee General Staff (Staatsarmee Generalstab), emphasized sweeping pincer and lateral movements meant to destroy enemy forces as quickly as possible. This approach is referred to as "Blitzkrieg" and requires the use of fast-moving and constant pillars of armored Panzer vehicles and motorized infantry units in mobile vehicles capable of basic battlefield operation. These doctrines would be developed alongside 'flow doctrines' in the Air Force and the Kriegsmarine, which would allow for a combined force doctrine to be instated, which in essence directs that all three branches of the military, Army and Air Force in particular, be molded and built in such a way that allows for collaboration and coordination to defeat the enemy forces on the battlefield swiftly and decisively. |

| Alongside these doctrinal changes to the Staatsarmee comes the physical changes, which include the introduction of mandatory general conscription for the armed forces as per a proclamation signed by the Staatskanzler this month of 1935, as well as recent efforts to proliferate modern arms in the Staatsarmee as well as all three branches of the German military, an effort which has grown exponentially in size, capacity and magnitude since the public recognition of the existence of the Air Force with the rise of threats against Germany, orchestrated by the governments of Paris and Moscow. The Staatskanzlei seeks to boost the operational capabilities and the size of the Staatsarmee by large numbers in the next few months to the next year or two, with a projected goal of 36 divisions expected to be reached with 17 months. |

The first shot of the civil war had just been fired with a raid in one of the Maziyan military bases,reportedly after that massive amount of resources from that base was stolen supposedly to be used to help the Qshairi revolution side of the civil war,in response Muhammad Nabil Jafri would mobilise a plan he made,he would have the normal military work alongside the Pasukan Maziya Diraja for this mission,they would have to rely on getting the upper hand by using trees and bushes to hide from plain sight.They would be going straight into the headquarters of the Qshairi revolution and make a attempt to stall them in there till they surrender.This plan began first by loading onboard some of their troops into as many PD-001 they can and bringing along with them one PD-001 medical variant the other troops walked alongside the PD-001 after they arrive at their supposed destination they set up a camp 100 miles away from where the Qshairi revolters base is suppose to be,they would rest before going straight into a assault

Every soldier who was part of the assault team checked their guns to see if everything was working and made sure they had enough ammo in case they get into a massive fire fight.The assault team made their move led by Muhammad Nabil Jafri,they used the bushes to hide themselves from plain view and when they could see the Qshairi revolters,the Qshairi revolters had guns and whatever they took from the military base,Muhammad Nabil Jafri signalled one of the troops to take aim.After a while that soldier was ordered to shoot at Adam Qshairi but that soldier missed alerting the people there to alert the others that the Maziyan military was here.A fire fight began while most troops got up to fire back,Muhammad Nabil Jafri ordered some troops to keep hiding as if they keep hiding they could catch them by suprise by shooting them without them knowing where they are.The Pasukan Maziya Diraja began hiding behind nearby trees and only peeking out to aim and shoot their target.

Eventually the small assault team had to retreat as it wasn't worth it to keep fighting as they will continue to loose more manpower if it continued.Adam Qshairi in the meanwhile sent his own men to track them down back to their campsite.When the assault team arrived back at the camp a soldier asked Muhammad Nabil Jafri.

"Commander I think it'll be a good idea to lead a full on assault into the revolters base of operations,they are weaker then us militarily."

Muhammad Nabil Jafri simply shook his head and said.

"It wouldn't be worth it the casualties would be too high,and we need to convince the people that they should trust our side of the conflict,it wouldnt look good if the sultan military just went in and gunned down a couple thousand civilians just because their on a different side,were only here to stall them until the sultan can prove that the monarchy is better then whatever Qshairi is doing."

[list][list][list][list]A Prelude to the Chaos[/list][/list][/list][/list]

[list]| As the new Greek Legislative Parliament takes form, its various parties are now ready for the Elections of 1935. They are fighting for dominance over the seats, and who will be the new leader of the Kingdom of Greece. The major parties running are the People's Party, Liberal Party, Progressive Party, Agricultural and Labour Party, National Radical Party, Freethinkers' Party, Independent Party, Farmers' Party, National Alliance, Conservative Democratic Party, and the Greek Communist Party. All twelve parties running have set on massive propaganda and advertisement campaigns, which resulted in posters and prints for parties being seen all over the streets of Greece. As elections drew closer and closer by the day, the sabotages between the different political parties were inevitable. The Liberals, led by former Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, accused the Independents, led by current Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas of committing war crimes during the Greek Civil War which caused Venizelos' rapid fall from grace. No one bought the claims, however, and there was no evidence to back it up. Another party, the Agricultural and Labour Party, accused the Independents of stealing wheat and grain from farms for the Greek Army, but one more, there was no evidence to support this claim. |[/list]

[list][list][list][list]The Elections and Coup d'état[/list][/list][/list][/list]

[list]| The long-awaited elections were finally here. After an intense voting process, the two main parties left were the biggest parties running, the Greek Independent Party of Metaxas and the Greek Liberal Party of Venizelos, two big names in Greek Politics. In the end, however, the Metaxists ended up winning 118 seats out of 248, and the Venizelists only 80 out of 248. Even the popular national vote had voted in favor of Metaxas' regime, and against Venizelos. Following the elections, the Venizelists claimed that the elections were rigged, and along with this, claimed that it would be the Liberal forces who would start the next Greek Civil War to "save Greece from the Metaxists". It was not Venizelos himself who planned and claimed that the elections were rigged in favor of Metaxas, but rather his officers and advisors which decisions he supported. As a result, a rift in the Liberal Party of Venizelos was now inevitable, and on the 7th of July, just one week after the elections, a large section of the Liberal Party broke off and formed the new 'Greek Revolutionary Government' led by Greek General Nikolaos Plastiras, eventually gaining traction and members fast. By the 14th, the government took notice of the party but did not officially recognize it as an official party. |[/list]

[list]| On the 16th of July, the coup began. The revolutionary government took control of 20 tanks, along with several thousand rifles, and had aimed to capture the Greek fleet which is docked near Crete, In their minds, the capture of the fleet was key in taking control of the nation. While the Revolutionary Army took control of army equipment, the Revolutionary Government established the Third Hellenic Republic in Thessaloniki, but was unofficial and was abolished a few hours later, as Greek troops stormed the location where it took place. Things were not developing to the advantage of the Revolutionary Army, however, with a lot of their tank crews being unable to drive due to lack of experience, and with a large number not even knowing how to shoot the main gun. As a result, a large number of revolutionary tanks were last via accidentally going into Greek Army territory. Two weeks later, the party was on its last legs, with its leader, Nikolaos Plastiras, being captured in action following gunfire on the now infamous Corinth canal. A few days later, the party surrendered, thus ending Greece's 1935 coup d'état. Venizelos was hunted down and arrested, along with several other Liberal politicians. A week later at the trial for the incident, Plastiras was sentenced to death, joining him are twelve Liberal officers who were also found responsible for plotting the coup with overwhelming amounts of evidence. |[/list]

[list]| Following the incident, Prime Minister Metaxas ordered for the Legislative Parliament to be shut down and banned from ever operating again to avoid such an incident from happening again. With the support of the current monarch, George II, the Parliament was shut down, but the parties, excluding the now banned Liberal party, were allowed to exist in smaller, regional, and local elections. With Parliament abolished once again, Ioannis Metaxas was now back on his throne with the title 'Authoritarian Dictator'. His regime is to be fully cemented by the 4th of August, 1936. |[/list]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: FRANCE, ITALIA, YUGOSLAVIA, GREECE, AND BRAZIL SIGN MARE NOSTRUM CORDIALE COMMON DEFENSE PACT REPLACING THE FRANCO-BALKAN ENTENTE CORDIALE

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, JULY 1935 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | Almost immediately following the establishment of the Franco-Balkan Entente Cordiale common defense pact, calls were made across Europe to broaden the alliance and create something bigger. Barely had the ink dried before heads of state and ranking government ministers alongside esteemed foreign dignitaries met at the Mafra Palace in Lisbon, Portugal to establish a wholly new pact. Representatives from France, Italia, Greece, Yugoslavia, and the Brazilian Empire gathered in the gilded halls of the Portuguese palace to amend and re-ratify what had previously been the Franco-Balkan Entente Cordiale. While keeping many of the same points, the new pact was named Mare Nostrum Cordiale or simply Mare Nostrum (Latin: "Our Sea") which was a Roman name for the Mediterranean Sea and is symbolic to the five signatory nations which have coastal borders along the Mediterranean with the exception of Portugal being at the mouth of Mediterranean. On it's face Mare Nostrum remains strictly a common defense pact just as the Franco-Balkan Entente Cordiale was with the added amendment of Article One which states: "The Republic of France, Kingdom of Italia, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Kingdom of Greece, and Empire of Brazil agree to respect each other's territorial integrity and henceforth drop all conflicting claims to otherwise disputed territories for the common good of the alliance." As the newly formed alliance takes shape, it is hoped that all five countries will fulfill their commitment to cooperate and more importantly maintain peace in the Mediterranean region. | [/sub]

AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN AOTEAROA AND BRAZIL!

[list]7 July 1935

[list]Meeting today in the Aotearoan capital of Wellington / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, the nations of Aotearoa and Brazil, brought together in their common interests in the Southern Hemisphere, signed a defence and trade agreement to protect and provide for the interests of both nations. The agreement, the first of its kind for Aotearoa outside of its fellow Commonwealth nations, introduces a common tariff regime between the two nations, institutes a common gold standard, and further guarantees that in the event of an aggressive attack against either nation, the other would be compelled to come to the aid of the other. Pimira Michael Joseph Savage spoke to reporters gathered at Parliament House, saying - «It is my duty as Pimira to safeguard and defend the best interests of our great nation - and in signing this Agreement this Government has done just that - we have guaranteed our safety, we have opened our economy to the outside world, we have found a powerful and kind ally. It is truly my great honour to be able to bring Aotearoa to the forefront of global trade and diplomacy.»

The Agreement contains many key parts regarding trade between the two nations, such as a dramatic reduction in tariffs on imports from Brazil, reducing from a marginal average of 25% to just 5%, with no tariffs remaining on several necessities for the Aotearoan economy, the same has been agreed to on Brazilian imports from Aotearoa - providing the nation with a brand new market for the goods and materials Aotearoa has historically excelled at. It also establishes a clear and standardised exchange rate of Rs$88.00 per ₸1.00, allowing for significantly easier trade between the two nations.[/list]

THE CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL AFRICAN TRIBES RECOGNISED BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT / FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SIGNS MILITARY DEAL WITH FRANCE & ITALY

July, 1935

As a result of being granted semi-independence status by the Federal Government, the Tribal Chiefs of the various regions and peoples of the Indigenous Zones were given the instruction and blessing to form a Confederation of Tribal Leaders who would decide on the policies practiced within their zones of control. In total there exist within the three members of the Federation (N. Rhodesia, S. Rhodesia & Nyasaland) a total of around 1,297 Tribal chiefs controlling various sized parcels of land with widely varying populations. They would be able to pass legislation on everything from their own Border policies (as they are nominally independent from Rhodesia, but being wholly surrounded by it) to policing, though by Federal law Airports would be centered within the white portions of Rhodesia, and smaller Military Bases of White Rhodesians would have to exist at certain points within the Confederation. It would also be through this Confederation that the Federal Government would provide proposals for economic investment and/or increases/decreases in the annual subsidy.

Conscription as part of their Constitution, is banned to the point where the Federal Government by law cannot enforce it upon the Citizens of the Confederation, and each instance of recruitment must be of an equal nature (equal pay and equal advancement).

.....

The Federal Government has today signed a deal with the French and Italian Governments for the purchase and transfer of multiple items of military hardware meant to modernize and assist Rhodesia in securing its large Borders and colonial commitments. Ultimately for the replacement of older or in other ways less capable British vehicles (in the case of tanks, the speed of the French variants being more than twice that of the British Tanks) it would allow Rhodesia to more quickly mobilize its small professional army to aggression in or around its Borders. The issue of a 500,000 Pound bond along with the remainder being paid from the Treasury enabled the purchase to take place, and in the case of Italy many of the costs are to be offset with exportations of raw materials. It stands as the largest military modernization and expansion within Rhodesia since the first world war, but as Chief of the Army Lieutenant General Keith Robert Coster explained : "Rhodesia must make ideal usage of the manpower and ground it possesses, to that end it is vital that we above all mechanize our forces to deal with the expansive tracts of land we have been directed to patrol, protect and if need be fight over."

Deal Signed with France:

- 48x 25mm Hotchkiss anti-tank guns

- 42x AMR 33 Light Tanks (fitted with 25mm Hotchkiss anti-tank guns rather than the standard 37mm gun)

- 24x Renault R35 Light Tanks (Pre-ordered for delivery in 1936)

- 24x Panhard 178 Armored Cars

- Production license regarding specifically spare parts for the items above, with a license fee of 25% per item, with the option for France to appropriate a portion of spare parts production in future conflicts at no extra cost

- 4x Dewoitine D.338s

- 12x Caudron C.440 Goélands

- Maintenance Personnel to maintain and train local personnel for the above two aircraft classes

- Costs for the purchase are to be made in Pounds or if requested Gold equivalent

Deal Signed with Italy:

- Production license for the L3/35 tankette and all spare parts with the patent-issuer permission to alter weaponry and in doing so weapon-related ports and attachments

- In return for the above, Rhodesia agrees to increase and establish further trade links with Italy, specifically in the area of Chromite, Tungsten, and Copper which Rhodesia exports already

JULY 1935

ATTACKED AT NIGHT

After anothet attempt at a not so successful assault the assault team was back the camp wanting to rest,it had already turned night time when they arrived back at the camp,every soldier even the ever motivated Muhammad Nabil Jafri sat down out of exhaustion,Everyone who were at the camp already made a campfire and were just eating canned food as it was their only food supply.The canned food was distributed to the assault team and after everyone already finished eating and were about to go sleep,Muhammad Nabil Jafri and few other men heard a rustling in nearby.Muhammad Nabil Jafri would signal everyone to either get their Senapang Pantas or use the MH-1 automatic handgun.Soon a gunfire could be heard killing a soldier,everyone open fire at the place where they heard the shot come from,suddenly a group of people jumped out of the bushes carrying knives.

"A suicide team?" Muhammad Nabil Jafri thought the group of people were swiftly dealt with but a couple of soldiers suffered a few cut some had severe cuts and were told to go into the PD-001 medic variant for medical treatment for their severe cuts.

Gunfire could soon be heard all around them,the Qshairi revolters were hiding in the bushes and trees,with the darkness of the night making visibility not so obvious.They were visible because of the campfire the Qshairi revolters were like moths to a flame,they were pretty much dead if the Qshairi revolters had more professional military training,soon Muhammad Nabil Jafri had a plan he would order his men to grab the Besi Bangkit shield,they would use it circle around the soldiers who didn't get the Besi Bangkit and make tiny gaps big enough for only a gun barrel to fit through the plan was working,the Qshairi revolters would quickly realised they can't exactly take them down with that formation and would make their retreat.

Everyone at the camp who were still alive,made a very short burial for the men who died in this attack,and after that everyone went to sleep,physically and mentally exhausted.

NATIONAL FORTIFICATION PROJECT, FRENCH ARMS DEAL, GERMAN MILITARY ADVISORS INVITED

Emperor Haile Selassie has issued a declaration of the National Fortification Project, due to security concerns voiced by government officials. Of the 540,000 soldiers still in the army, 100,000 of them would be issued new rifles from the recent German and French arms deals. Said troops were still on the border from the previous Abyssinian crisis, and military exercises would occur in the cities of Aksum and Adwa, and another portion would be set in Gode and Mustahil, but the majority would still be on border duty. Fortifications would be prepared as citizens living in mountainous passes would be required by the Rases there to begin, especially in Tigray, Harar, and Wello.

A huge arms deal was signed with the French, detailing:

50k rifles

34 Canon de 105 court mle 1935 B

10 Dewoitine D.388

10 Potez. 25

30 Renault FT tanks

30 AMR 33 tanks

30 Hotchkiss M1929 machine gun

Another concern was the Greek deployments, so the Ethiopians listed the help of the Germans, who gladly accepted. The arms deal with Germany that included 54k rifles, 6k machine guns, 150 light artillery, and 35 light interwar planes, was decisive in helping friendly Ethiopia-Germany relations. 600 machine guns would be shipped to Ethiopia, along with 2 German combat squadrons to help train Ethiopia's own air force, and German military advisors to help train the army.

[pre]GERMANY REAFFIRMS SUPPORT FOR ABYSSYNIA WITH WEAPONS SHIPMENTS, BUT SHOOTS DOWN TROOP DEPLOYMENT RUMORS[/pre][/list][/list]

| Following the establishment of the Common Defense Cordiale of France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece and Brazil as an obvious counterweight to the recent German efforts to remilitarize and expand the armed forces, the Foreign Ministry (Außenministerium) delivered to the Staatskanzler, Adolph Heidler, during a cabinet meeting a memorandum issued by the foreign minister, Konstantin von Fischer, which declared that the Mare Nostrum Cordiale was 'clearly and utterly directed against Germany and its legal efforts to remilitarize and build for itself a stable and constant force of defense and security'. Many members of the new German Government were also skeptical of the true intentions of the Cordiale, with one member of the Interior Ministry (Innenministerium) remarking that 'Europe has turned against us for doing what they have been doing since the end of the Great War'. At a cabinet meeting, the Staatskanzler remarked: |

[list][list][pre]Ich bin sicher, dass allen in diesem Raum klar ist, dass das Mare Nostrum Cordiale zumindest mit Blick auf die jüngsten Entwicklungen in Deutschland geschaffen wurde. Es sollte dem Kontinent klar gemacht werden, dass Deutschland eine weitere Runde der Diskriminierung des deutschen Volkes für die Verbrechen seiner Vorfahren nicht dulden wird. Wir werden weitermachen. Wir werden unsere Anstrengungen zur Stärkung der deutschen Streitkräfte fortsetzen und die Sicherheit der deutschen Gebiete und des deutschen Volkes weiterhin gewährleisten. Diese Cordiale wird uns nicht behindern, und sie wird uns auch nicht daran hindern, das zu tun, was zum Schutz der Deutschen und Deutschlands getan werden muss.[/pre]

[pre]I am certain that it is clear to all in this room that the Mare Nostrum Cordiale was created at the very least with Germany's recent developments in mind. It should be made clear to the Continent that Germany will not stand for yet another round of discrimination against the German people for the crimes of their ancestors. We shall continue onward. We shall push forward with our efforts to bolster Germany's armed forces and ensure the continued security of German territories and the German people. This Cordiale will not hinder us, nor will it prevent us from doing what needs to be done to safeguard Germans and Germany.[/pre][/list][/list]

| Relations between Germany and Abyssinia had been building upwards in a positive manner for quite some time now, and this relationship was only reaffirmed when Germany expressed its 'sympathy and support' for Abyssinia, and announced the sale of weapons and arms to the Abyssinian military to support them as 'enemies of their independence bear down on their country'. When Germany expressed its support for Addis Ababa, rumors of a German troop deployment of a military legion of volunteers began circulating. A so-called "Condor Legion" was allegedly being trained and prepared for deployment to support the Abyssinian forces. These rumors however were quashed by a press release from the Foreign Ministry shooting down any possibility of a Condor Legion deployment to Abyssinia, stating that 'while Germany stands behind Addis Ababa in this situation it is not deemed fit by the Government that German lives be risks in the defense of our East African partner'. |

THE KINGDOM OF ITALY[/pre][/list]

______

Governor-General Graziani Authorizes Italian Askaris Invasion of Ethiopia! Regia Aeronautica Prepares Aircraft from Asmara and Mogadishu for Reconnaissance, Bombing Campaigns, and Air Superiority; Regia Marina to operate as maritime logistic hubs for Ammunition, Wartime Materials, and Assistance!

Il governatore generale Graziani autorizza gli Askari italiani a iniziare l'invasione dell'Etiopia! La Regia Aeronautica schiera aerei da Asmara e Mogadiscio per ricognizioni, campagne di bombardamento e superiorità aerea; Regia Marina fungerà da hub logistico marittimo per munizioni, materiali bellici e assistenza!

Gloria all'Italia!

[sub]Benito Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy | ROME, 1935[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Il Regno d'Italia |[/sub]

The signing and formation of the Mare Nostrum Cordiale provided Rome with significant breathing room, strategic security in the Mediterranean, and an ironclad defensive alliance with the former Roman Empire space that Benito Mussolini felt it appropriate to turn Italy's eyes back to Italia East Africa. Through heavy communication with Governor-General Graziani, the National Fascist Party senior leadership, and the Voluntary Militia for National Security (Blackshirts) to determine best course of action regarding Ethiopia. Still simmering from Germany providing weaponry to the Ethiopians, Benito Mussolini decided to not wait any longer and to order the Governor-General to initiate military operations within the next month to strike the heart of Ethiopia and to incorporate Addis Ababa into Italia East Africa by any means necessary. As the propaganda campaign launched 2 months ago continued in addition to recruitment, Governor-General Graziani did not care if conscripts were sent as the first line of waves into Ethiopia. However, what Graziani decided to do was begin the invasion immediately. As 300,000 Italians from the Peninsula were previously intended to come to Italia East Africa, the current forces in East Africa would initiate and sustain the fighting while 100,000 Italians from Peninsular Italia and Libya would be sent to reinforce the invading force described below.

Regia Aeronautica

The bombing campaign via the Regia Aeronautica would be orchestrated from Asmara and Mogadishu with the following:

[list][pre]From Asmara[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]15 x Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello Bomber/Transport Aircraft

10 x Caproni Ca.133 Transport/Light Bombers

70 x Fiat CR.32 Biplane Fighters

20 x Mitsubishi G3M bombers

15 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Light Bombers[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][pre]From Mogadishu[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]30 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Light Bombers

20 x Mitsubishi G3M bombers

40 x Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 Pipistrello Bomber/Transport Aircraft

90 x Fiat CR.32 Biplane Fighters[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][pre]From Peninsular Italia/Libya[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]200 x Fiat CR.32 Fighters

250 x Caproni Ca.133 Transport/Bombers

50 x Caproni Ca.111 Reconnaissance Bombers[/pre][/list][/list]

An additional operation would be given to the Regia Aeronautica to destroy logistical capacities and hinder Ethiopian chances of resupply, even if it meant destroying any present bridges as a way to isolate Addis Ababa. If possible, a order by Governor-General Graziana to "raze government buildings, government palaces, and any indication of a unique identity that could prompt rejuvenation of a defiant Ethiopian cause." Further, Air Marshal Italo Balbo has informed the deploying aircraft to "constrict and steal the life of Ethiopian resistance from the sky in the same way that Medusa seduces and turns her victims into stone: indiscriminate, merciless, and without remorse." This would include the destruction of areas deemed appropriate by reconnaissance bombers that can be used as makeshift airfields in addition to actual airfields. Operating a sort of Guerra lampo (Blitzkrieg), the Italian Air Force would look to hit heavy, quick, and determined to destroy any and all visible infrastructure, no matter city or village.

REGIO ESERCITO OPERATIONS

For the Regio Esercito (Italian Army), the Italian Kingdom would begin the massive mobilization and preparation of:

[list][list][pre]250,000 out of the 400,000 Italian soldiers in Eritrea (5 x Regio Corpo d'Armata Italiano)

150,000 out of the 285,000 Italian soldiers in Italia Somaliland ( 3 x Regio Corpo d'Armata Italiano)[/pre][/list][/list]

In the meanwhile, Governor-General Graziani in addition to the assistance of Colonel Amedeo Guillet and General De Bono would seek the clear and systematic eradication of Ethiopian resistance to Italian occupation and annexation into Italia East Africa by any means necessary. This could only be possible with the usage of the Italian Askaris as well as the 4 active divisions (20,000 personnel per division (80,000 in total) of the Royal Corps of Colonial Troops, which Benito Mussolini has officially renamed into the Forze armate dell'Africa Orientale Italiana (FAAOI). The Italian army in Italian East Africa recruited Eritrean and subsequently Somali troops to serve with Italian officers and some NCOs. These forces comprised infantry, cavalry, camel-mounted and light artillery units. To the 80,000 members of the FAAOI, 100,000 Italian Askaris (50,000 from Eritrea and 50,000 from Somalia) would be mobilized immediately and equipped with the following weaponry and equipment:

[list][list][pre]Carcano Moschetto per Truppe Speciali Modello 1891 Modificato Rifles

Carcano Moschetto Modello 1891/ 1924 Rifles

Carcano Moschetto per Truppe Speciali con Tromboncino Rifles (Grenade Launcher Attachments)

Beretta M1934 Pistols

Bodeo Model 1889 Revolvers

Breda 30 Light Machine Guns

Fiat–Revelli Modello 1914 Medium Machine Guns

Beretta M1918 Sub-machine Guns

OVP 1918 Submachine Guns[/pre][/list][/list]

Regarding Armored Fighting Vehicles, the Regio Esercito would commence the invasion with the following:

[list][pre]From Asmara[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]100 x Carro Veloce L3/33 CC Tankettes

50 x Carro Veloce L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks

50 x Carro Veloce L3/35 Tankettes

60 x Carro Veloce L3/33 Tankettes[/pre][/list][/list]

[list][pre]From Mogadishu[/pre][/list]

[list][list][pre]150 x Carro Veloce L3/33 CC Tankettes

20 x L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks

50 x Carro Veloce L3/35 Tankettes

60 x Carro Veloce L3/33 Tankettes[/pre][/list][/list]

Being sent in from Italia Peninsular/Libya would be the following:

[list][list][pre]250 x L3/35 Carro Armato Tankettes

250 x Carro Armato L3/33 Tankettes

100 x Fiat 3000 Light Tanks

150 x L3 Lf Flamethrower Tanks

50 x Carro Armato L3 cc anti-tank tankettes

100 x L3/33 CC Tankettes[/pre][/list][/list]

Additional equipment from Peninsular Italia includes the following to be shipped into Asmara and be utilized onto the frontlines between Eritrea and Ethiopia:

[list][list][pre]200 x Cannone da 47/32 mod. 1935 Infantry gun / anti-tank gun

200 x Cannone da 65/17 modello 13 Mountain Artillery

200 x Cannone da 149/23 Siege Artillery

400 x Obice da 75/18 modello 34 howitzer artillery

200 x Cannone da 149/35 A Heavy Artillery Gun

500 x Obice da 149/12 Howitzers

300 x Obice da 149/13 modello 14 Heavy Howitzer[/pre][/list][/list]

From the Somalia border, 50,000 Italian Askaris in addition to 3 divisions (60,000) of the Voluntary Militia for National Security (Blackshirts) equipped with weaponry mentioned above would begin invasions into Ethiopia from the border villages/towns of Ghersei, Yeed, Mandera, Baadikeen, and Ferfer (22,000 per border village) with the goal of attacking, seizing, razing, and occupying Ethiopian villages in course to Rasso. Utilizing Italian Askaris expertise in nomadic, tribal living as well as inhabiting desert terrain, Askari commanders and NCOs were granted freedoms to determine best course of action, including guerrilla tactics and asymmetrical operations to destroy Ethiopian morale and supply routes in the desert terrain. Relying on speed and light artillery such as the Obice da 75/18 modello 34 howitzer artillery. Relying primarily on horseback, camels, and AFVs, the 110,000 personnel from the Askaris and Blackshirts would initiate the invasion from Somalia simultaneously with the 50,000 Askaris in Eritrea and 2 x divisions of the FAAOI (40,000) would commence their invasion across the Eritrean border with artillery shelling assistance into Ethiopia from Cannone da 149/35 A Heavy Artillery Guns, Cannone da 149/23 Siege Artillery, Obice da 149/13 modello 14 Heavy Howitzers, and Cannone da 65/17 modello 13 Mountain Artillery. From Eritrea, 4 Blackshirt divisions would be deployed (80,000) to operate as auxiliary units to the initial invading force while the true invasion force of a total 400,000 Italian soldiers were finishing preparations and to blitz into Ethiopia while an additional 100,000 personnel were en route from Italy with equipment.

On the Eritrean Front, the intention is to utilize the hilly, desert, and valleys to the Italian advantage via loose formations, quick movements, and attacking/arresting any and all combatants that resist occupation. Resembling the Somalian operations to a particular point, the Eritrean front will be more artillery focused with large scale bombardments as well as aerial strategic bombing coordinated by reconnaissance planes. The emphasis on biplane fighters will allow the Italians to target and overwhelm any potential Ethiopian air force while directly providing some air support. Air Marshal Balbo is heavily considering the usage of dive bombers to cripple Ethiopian war efforts.

Regia Marina

The Italian Navy would operate in a logistical operation to reinforce the supply routes of the Italian armed forces to ensure adequate food, ammunition, medical kits, and additional resources to sustain the war effort. As Ethiopia does not have a coastline, Italia only seeks to utilize transport and trade ships to reinforce its war fronts.

[list]| The Greek Armed Forces are one of the most powerful armies in the Balkan Region. It has a total complement of now 400,000 men, both in active, reserve or auxiliary service, and is armed to the teeth with modernized equipment ranging from innovative tank designs to top of the line battlecruisers. This was in 1933, and now as the world is approaching the latter half of the 1930s, it was apparant that the new war would not be the same as the last. With the German development of the 'Blitzkrieg' tactics, and with mobile, combined arms warfare now the choice of most nations, Greece's outdated defensive style doctrine has been proved obsolete, as seen in Greco-Italian training sessions earlier this year. Therefore, as an act passed by the now abolished legislative parliament, Greece was now ready to concentrate on arms once more. With the assistance of French and Italian generals, the Greek battle doctrine was modernized via the Mare Nostrum Cordiale. As a direct result, Greece had gone out on a spree to buy arms to fit the new doctrine, which called for more mobile and offensive warfare, but still had elements of Greece's old, defensive battle doctrine. Greece is now set to receive guns, planes, ships and tanks from the nations of France, Italy, Britain, Maziya, and Czechoslovakia. |[/list]

Recently in Negeri Sembilan there have been Malayan citizens who have been carrying cardboard with the writing "MALAYA FOR MALAY MALAYANS,UNION NOT WANTED" although the mystery behind the people wanting for independence has remained a mystery but some believe it's something to do with Johor fighting back against the British government.George V was asked about the Malay Malayans recent preaches for a independent Malaya seperate from the British government,but he refused to answer the question.However the Malay Malayans are also the same group of people who believe the Chinese Malayans should also be forcefully booted off Malaya,so this might just be a case of racial discrimination in Malaya just a bit more extreme.

SULTAN PREACHES FOR A PEACE TALK WITH QSHAIRI

One month into the civil war,the present monarchy are right now not in a good spot as more and more people are joining the side of Qshairi,if things keep going the way they are the current monarchy will fall giving way towards the rise of Qshairi's populist government.Sultan Zahier Al Hafiz has to make a speech to convince the people to join his side rather then leaving to join the rebellion,Sultan Zahier Al Hafiz would walk up to the podium and ready his paper,he began his speech.

"People of Maziya if you wish for anything to change about the way our society works, you could always ask me for a change,I'm willing to listen to your voices.We can just simply end this conflict peacefully,no need for this nonsense bloodshed,all your doing by joining the Qshairi revolution is just providing more coal for the fire of the civil war to keep burning,I'm willing to drop the assault on the base of the Qshairi revolution at the south of Maziya.IF! Qshairi is willing to come discuss the terms and agreements of ending this conflict peacefully,we've all already lost enough for a such a small nation that we are.Trying to recover from this civil war at the current state will be easier rather then we continue,complicating the process of rebuilding even further,I'm willing to make a ultimatum Qshairi has already refused multiple attempts at a peaceful surrender.If this one he refuses I'm not taking no as an answer!"

Sultan,Zahier Al Hafiz walked off the podium and was being escorted by members of the Pasukan Maziya Diraja.People were all talking amongst each other but the biggest question everyone was asking is.

"What does he mean by not taking no as an answer?"

THANKFUL CROWDS GREET ROOSEVELT

NOW SPEEDING NORTH UNPERTURBED.

HOW HE SAW IT;

THOUGHT SHOTS WERE FIRECRACKERS.

______________________________[/list][/list]

[pre] MIAMI (AP) — On the evening of February 15, 1933, President-elect Franklin Roosevelt delivered a short speech to a crowd at Maimi’s Bayfront Park. Because of his disability, Roosevelt often spoke from the rear seat of an open touring car rather than making the arduous trip to a platform. When he finished his remarks, the crowd surged forward, but was halted abruptly by six pistol shots fired in rapid succession. Five people were hit. The most seriously injured was Chicago Mayor Anton J. Cermak, who sustained a stomach wound. The crowd quickly restrained the assailant, but was prevented from doing him bodily harm by Roosevelt’s intercession. Cermak was loaded into the car and comforted on the ride to the hospital by the president-elect. Medical staff credited Roosevelt with preventing the mayor from going into shock, thus giving him a better chance at recovery.

Giuseppe Zangara was the attempted assassin. He was born in Italy, came to the United States in the early 1920s, became a citizen and in 1933 was working as a bricklayer in Miami. Zangara subscribed to no political philosophy, but harbored a hatred for wealthy capitalists. He had blamed Hoover, and later Roosevelt, for the plight of the common man. Probably more important than any political view was the fact that Zangara suffered from chronic and debilitating stomach pain that put him at odds with those around him. In his own words: “I don’t like no peoples.”

Zangara was quickly tried and convicted on charges of assault with the intent to kill; he was sentenced to 80 years in prison. There was some speculation at the time that perhaps Roosevelt was not the intended target. Walter Winchell, a gossip columnist and radio personality, popularized the idea that Cermak had offended mob leaders in Chicago and had been marked for assassination; no corroborating evidence of that contention has ever surfaced.

The events in Miami were significant for two reasons. First, many in the country were uncertain of what to expect from the man who would become president several weeks later; some were outspokenly fearful, but Roosevelt’s calm and compassion during the incident offered a large measure of reassurance to an anxious public. Second, the assassination attempt underscored the fact that the response of the overwhelming majority of Paramericans to the hardships of the Depression was orderly and lawful. Zangara was not a socialist or Communist, but a deranged individual. Leftist groups that were critical of Paramerican capitalism have been growing since the start of the decade, but their numbers remained consistently small. The vast majority of citizens are confident that the existing system of government would eventually find the answers to the nation’s ills.[/pre]

[list][pre]How Roosevelt Saw It[/pre]

[list][sub]Feb. 16th — With the President-Elect in route from New York from Jacksonville, his personal account on the attempted assassination and shooting of Chicago Mayor Cermak last night.[/sub][/list][/list]

[pre]" . . . I have tried ever since last night to not confuse what I saw with all that was told to me. After I had finished speaking, somebody from the talking picture people climbed onto the back of the car and said that I had simply got to turn around and repeat to them what I said. I said I would not to do it. He said "we have come 1000 miles for this". I said, "I am very sorry but I can't do it". Having said that I slid off the back of the car into my seat. Just then Mayor Cermak came forward. I shook hands and talked with him for nearly a minute. Then he moved off around the back of the car. Bob Clark, one of the Secret Service men, was standing right beside him to the right. As he moved off a man came forward with a telegram about five or 6 feet long and was starting to tell me what it contained. While he was talking to me, I was leaning forward toward the left side of the car. Just then I heard what I thought was a firecracker, then several more.

The man talking with me was pulled back and the chauffeur started the car. I found that a bullet, probably the one that hit Cermak, grazed the top of Clark's hand. His hand was all bloody and scratched. You know I know Bill Sinnott. I kidded him at the hospital this morning and told him that they couldn't hurt me with a bullet in the head I left orders for them to starve him and take off at least 20 pounds. I looked around and saw Mayor Cermak doubled up and Mrs. Gill collapsing. Mrs. Gill was at the foot of the band stand steps. As soon as she was hit she must have gotten up and startled down the steps. She was slumped over at the bottom. I called to the shofar to stop. He did about 15 feet from where we started. The Secret Service men showed it to him to get out of the crowd and he started forward again. I stopped him for a second time, this time at the corner of the Bandstand, about 30 ft further on. I saw Mayor Cermak being carried. I motioned to have him put in the back area of the car, which would have been the first automobile out. He was alive, but I didn't think he was going to last. I put my left arm around him and my hand on his pulse, but I couldn't find any pulse. He slumped forward. On the left of Jack ago, leaning over him, was the Miami chief of detectives. He was sitting on the rear mudguard. He said after the we had gone two blocks, “ I don't think he is going to last”. I said “I'm afraid he isn't”. After we had gone another block, marriage hicago straightened up and I got his pulse. It was surprising. For three blocks I had believed his heart had stopped. I held them all the way to the hospital and his pulse constantly improved. That trip to the hospital seems 30 miles long. I talked to Mayor Cermak nearly the whole way. I remember I said “Tony, keep quiet, don't move. It won't hurt if you keep quiet.” They rushed him to the operating room for examination. I remained in the hospital and later talked to marriage a car go for four or five minutes. I also saw the others, except Mrs. gill, who was being operated on. They failed to extract the bullet. I remain at the hospital until quarter after 11 and then returned to the Nourmahal. I went to bed about 2 am.

I didn't actually see the man who did the shooting. The second time the car moved forward I saw a melee down on the ground and assumed that he was in that. The police did one quick and clever thing. When they got him up from the ground they saw the car in which the Kermit, Vincent and Moley were riding, two cars behind mine. It had just started out. They threw the man onto the trunk rack and three policemen set on him all the way to the hospital. They had to go to the hospital because inside the car was the fellow who had been shot in the head. As we started out, there was a great deal of shouting and pressing from every direction. By the time we got to the gate, 70 feet away, the crowd there didn't know anything had happened. It was providential that my car went 30 feet ahead before the crowd closed in. It would have been difficult to get the car out if we had not reached the corner of the Bandstand . . ."[/pre]

[pre]GERMANY RE-ALIGNS FOREIGN POLICY, AIMS TO STRENGTHEN TIES WITH ITALIA IN THE LONG-TERM, CITING COMMON GOALS, IDEOLOGY[/pre][/list][/list]

| In the previous month, with the advent of the Italian invasion of Abyssinia and prior to that the establishment of the Mare Nostrum Cordiale among the other nations on the Continent excluding a select few, Berlin had been reluctant to co-operate with the Italian Government in Rome, even while Benito Mussolini and his Government greatly resembled that of Germany and Heidler's government. Although the ideological similarities between Rome and Berlin were clear, clashing interests particularly over Austria and in East Africa prevented a tightening of relations between the two countries. Of relations between Germany and Italia, Staatsminister of Foreign Affairs Konstantin von Fischer commented in July 1935, shortly after the announcement of the now-ceased arms shipments to Abyssinia: |

[list][list][pre]Es ist elementar, dass sich die Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und Italien derzeit in einem so schlechten Zustand befinden. Beide Nationen haben im Ersten Weltkrieg auf entgegengesetzten Seiten gekämpft und verfügen nun über gegensätzliche strategische Einflüsse und betrachten die jeweils andere Nation möglicherweise sogar als Konkurrenten ihres eigenen Einflusses auf dem Kontinent. Wir dürfen nicht versuchen, Rom zu verärgern, aber wir dürfen auch nicht ihren kleinlichen Forderungen nach der Errichtung eines "Zweiten Römischen Reiches" nachgeben. Wir sollten ihre Ziele und Bestrebungen weder verurteilen noch gutheißen, und wir sollten fest auf unserem Boden stehen, wenn es um die Interessen Germaniens geht.[/pre]

[pre]It is elementary that relations between Germany and Italia be at such a deprived condition at the moment. Both nations fought on opposite sides of the Great War, and now possess conflicting strategic influence and possibly even see the other as a competitor to its own influence in the Continent. We must not seek to antagonize Rome, but we too must not concede to their petty demands for the establishment of what seems to be a 'Second Roman Empire'. We should not condemn their goals and aspirations, nor should we endorse them, and we should stand firm on our ground when it comes to Germania's interests.[/pre][/list][/list]

| However, this was the state of relations last month, in July. Now, following closed door conversations between the German and Italian Governments regarding the unfolding situation in East Africa, which escalated to the point of military conflict since Germany's declaration of support and sympathy for Addis Ababa, Heidler seeks to re-align Germania's foreign policy with the aim of strengthening ties with Italia in the long term, citing common goals and ideology. The Staatskanzler at a cabinet meeting on 2 August expressed the importance of a 'strong, reliable, fruitful Italo-German partnership and friendship', remarking that: |

[list][list][pre]Italia und Germania haben einen ähnlichen Regierungsstil. Beide Nationen haben sich vor allem der Verteidigung ihrer selbst und ihres Volkes verschrieben, absolut verschrieben. Italia kämpft mit Tapferkeit, mit Stärke, mit Mut und mit Tatkraft. Das ist es, was Germania respektiert, nicht was Germania bekämpft. Unsere gemeinsamen Feinde, die Alliierten, haben uns immer wieder daran gehindert, das zu sichern, was uns zusteht. Vielleicht können Rom und Berlin mit gemeinsamen Interessen weiter zusammenarbeiten und eine neue Ära der deutsch-italienischen Beziehungen einleiten. Vielleicht ist es an der Zeit, dass wir unsere Differenzen beiseite legen, unsere gemeinsamen Eigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen verankern und zusammenarbeiten, um unsere gemeinsamen Ziele zu erreichen.[/pre]

[pre]Italia and Germania have similar styles of governance. Both nations are dedicated, absolutely dedicated, to defending itself and its people above all. Italia fights with valiance, with strength, with courage and with vigor. That is what Germania respects, not what Germania opposes. Our common enemies, the Allies, have time and time again prevented us from securing what is rightfully ours. Perhaps with common interests Rome and Berlin shall be able to further cooperate and usher in a new era of Italo-German relations. Perhaps it is time we set aside our differences, enshrine our common traits and behaviors, and work together to achieve our common goals.[/pre][/list][/list]

| In late July, it was concluded by these closed door conversations that it was in the best interests of both Germany and Italia that proper and cordial relations be restored. On 3 August 1935, in a speech to the Reichstag, Staatskanzler Heidler declared that he was 'dedicated' to the cause of furthering Italo-German relations, expressing his support for Mussolini and his 'government of steel', as well as indirectly denouncing the Abyssinians for 'resisting the inevitable'. |

Czechoslovakian commendation towards Germany

Improved relations with Greece, Italy, and Yugoslavia

The actions of Germany seems more and more foreboding. Almost As through the rolling farm hills, just on the other side a nation here to engulf the very nation. Tyranny is everywhere, yet rare but always existing. Yet this rare occurrence might just very well be on the other side of those rolling hills and farms. We can very well control tyranny with enough power and force. God is good, God save us from tyranny! We will not be broke as the 1919 treaty was broke. The defense force has since grown to 80,000 personnel along the border.

God stands with Free Czechoslovkia!

-Motto of the 1st Czechoslovkian Rupublic-

Relations with Italy have improved along with Yugoslavia and Greece. On paper, there has been no approved alliance. Greece and Yugoslavia have bought weapons from Czechoslovakia. The Italian government has expressed likeness towards Czechoslovakia. Mutal friendship has blossomed between Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

DEFENSE OF THE COUNTRY

Through the Emperor's wisdom, he foresaw foreign aggression. However, the first German arms deal had already come in, even though the 2nd one was promptly canceled, which was huge for the Royal army because it included valuable rifles, planes, artillery pieces, and much-needed machine guns. The French arms deal was expected to come in by next month, delivering a further 50,000 rifles. All of these were mostly paid for by the Emperor's personal treasury, amounting to millions. The existing army numbered 540,000 men, with artillery pieces and most of them armed with rifles of varying qualities since the first defense conducted by Emperor Menelik. However, there were more men available for battle. The Rases were basically Emperor appointed royal governors of each state, and their armies functioned effectively loyal to them, so they could be considered warlord-like figures. However, they were consistently steadfast in faith in their country, and each Ras would raise his own army, about 50,000 soldiers each, on top of the 540,000 men already serving. Finally, the Emperor would introduce a draft order, stating:

[list][sub][I]"All men and boys able to carry a spear go to Addis Ababa. Every married man will bring his wife to cook and wash for him. Every unmarried man will bring any unmarried woman he can find to cook and wash for him. Women with babies, the blind, and those too aged and infirm to carry a spear are excused. Anyone found at home after receiving this order will be hanged."[/sub][/list]

Onto the war, defense doctrine would be used, stationing 320,000 troops on Northern front duty, and 220,000 on the Southern front.

The following equipment would be used:

[spoiler=Army and Air Force Equipment]

Rifles of Varying Condition (sorry it is not specified but they can range from 1890-to 1930)

Karabiner 98k

Model 1918 RSC

50 heavy Vickers and Hotchkiss machine guns

100 .303-inch Vickers guns on AA mounts

48 20 mm Oerlikon S anti-aircraft guns

40 Canon de 75 CA modèle 1917 Schneider 75 mm field guns.

300 trucks

7 Ford A-based armored cars

12 .7 cm PaK 35/36

234 pieces of old artillery (sorry no models)

6000 MG 30 machine guns

75 10.5 cm leFH 18

75 2 cm Flak 30

15 Arado Ar 65 fighters

3 Gloucester Gladiator

[/spoiler]

On the northern front, the army would be positioned on the border, engaging with Italian soldiers on sight. The home advantage would be used as artillery guns and anti-air would be positioned on the mountainside, because of the hilly terrain, the Italian advance would be bogged down, but Italian bombing campaigns would prove to be a major threat as the anti-air divisions tried to shoot them down. They would maintain a purely defensive stance as the Askari would be faced with a shower of bullets and shells from above.

On the southern front, the army would maintain a similar posture but would be further back into the territory, retreating to the hilly and mountainous terrain, in order to effectively use the terrain to their advantage. This was because the young Rases knew their disadvantages and admitted them, and that was the mobility of the Italian armored divisions, but fortifications would be built in order to avoid outmaneuvering. So for now, the Italians would advance into the desert terrain of the Ogaden.

Finally, the Emperor would personally oversee the construction of the Hindenburg wall, in reference to the line enforced by the Germans in WW1. It would be focused high on the mountain tops, protecting most major cities. Thousands of men would be focused on building the fortifications out of concrete and stone, and mounting artillery, machine, and anti-air guns, both on the main battleline, and the Hindenburg Wall.

A statement to the League of Nations will come shortly.

Note: play this song when you get to the coronation part of this post. Also when reading the certain part of the lyrics replace the word Flann with Brian and the word Tuathal Techtmar with O’Brien.

[list]July 1, 1935

[sub]|The Coronation.|[/sub][/list]

HILL OF TARA, NEAR SKRYNE, COUNTY MEATH, IRELAND — MORNING

[sub]Today is the biggest day of Donough’s life: his coronation. Guests from around the globe had arrived in the Irish village of Skryne for the occasion. The many monarchies of Europe (except for Great Britain), the Republics of the world, and the lands of Asia all sent their ambassadors. The procession was to begin at a quarter to ten. The High King was dressed in his impressive coronation dress. He stood, waiting as his ladies and tailors hustled around him, putting his outfit together. Lastly, he placed his father’s Diadem (which is based and designed off of the ancient Irish Diadem) on his head and he was finished. 6 maids followed behind him, carrying his Robe of State, the impressively long train that was made of brilliant crimson. His wife Mei was also dressed up in her Consort’s Robes. When Donough’s met her at the main entrance to the rented private house, she was all dressed up in state outfit, and wearing a tiara on her head. Her eyes lit up when he saw her husband in all of his glory.[/sub]

[list][B]MEI O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH QUEEEN CONSORT:[/B] [sub]”You look so handsome, dear.”[/sub]

[B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”Thank you and you look very beautiful as well.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Donough and Mei both gave each other a kiss on the cheek. Once they were ready to go, they were helped into the state carriage, drawn by 8 horses. The crowds had been gathered outside of the village since the early morning light had begun to shine. They cheered a loud roar as the High King’s carriage was seen leaving the village. He was escorted to the Hill of Tara by dozens of calvary officers and members of the Fianna guard. The High King waved to those in the crowd, who were waving the Irish flags and cheering for the High King. Mei nervously smiled and waved at a few people on his side of the coach. The High King Mother, High Queen Sinéad, traveled by carriage ahead of the High King as did all of the other guests and representatives. They all took their seats on the Hill of Tara at the King's Seat (Forradh). High Queen Sinéad processed up to the King’s Seat at the Hill of Tara alone and her smaller, purple colored train was carried by a pager. Many people respected Sinéad and bowed to her when she passed as a sign of respect.[/sub]

[sub]Many crowded together near the King’s Seat, so they could have a good view of the ceremony. The bards played some of their most beautiful music, which drowned out even the loudness of the crowd outside. The bards sung impressive traditional Irish music as everyone anxiously awaited the arrival of the High King. The Taoiseach, Éamon de Valera, arrived shortly before the High King but since he was to walk in the procession with the High King, he remained at the entrance to the hill, waiting for the State Carriage. Finally, the carriage came to a halt in front of the hill. The bells of St. Patrick Church on the Hill of Tara rang out to announce the presence of the High King and as the carriage came to a halt, a trumpet fanfare sounded the High King’s arrival. Donough got out of the carriage first, then he helps his wife Mei down from the carriage. As he stepped out into view, the crowd erupted into a deafening cheer. The High King smiled and waved to everyone. His 6 maids arrived behind him and got out to take hold of the High King’s train.[/sub]

[sub]He and Mei walk up to the hill side by side as the bards, singing a quiet hymn, could be heard. They finally reach to the King’s Seat on the hill and at the center of King’s Seat was a standing stone known as the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny). According to the myth the Lia Fáil was brought to the hill by the godlike people, the Tuatha Dé Danann, as one of their sacred objects. According to legend, the stone would let out a roar when the rightful king touched it. As they had practiced, Mei was to walk to the Lia Fáil in front of the High King. She kissed him on the cheek, smiling at him.[/sub]

[list][B]MEI O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH QUEEEN CONSORT:[/B] [sub]”Good luck dear.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The High King smiled back at his wife as she took her place. Eventually the procession started. The female bards began to play the coronation song called Brian for Éirinn. The Taoiseach, escorted by pagers and Fianna guard, processed toward the Lia Fáil near the Royal Chair. The High Queen Consort was the next major person to process to his chair which was a few feet away from the High King’s chair of state he was to sit in. As the High King himself made his way toward the Lia Fáil, he was escorted by two priests on his side, his maids in tow, and his Mistress of the Robes behind the High King. They were all surrounded by the Fianna guards. As the High King processed toward the Lia Fáil, those would bow to him or curtsy.[/sub]

[sub]“Go maire tú an tArd-Rí! Go maire an tArd-Rí Brian II! Fada beo! Fada beo! Fada beo!” they chanted. Donough passed many faces as he made his way down the Lia Fáil. Many bowed their heads in respect. When he passed his mother, High Queen Sinéad, she nodded at him, who bowed in return. Finally as he drew closer, the bards was finishing the song. He passed by Mei, who bowed to her High King. Once arriving at the royal chair, which bore his monogram on the back of it, the High King was helped into his seat and the maids set down the long train. The High King first kneeled to pray before God as the bards continued its impressive song. The regalia which would be used to crown the High King had been in procession before him and were handed to the Archbishop of Armagh the Primate of All Ireland, who placed them on the altar near the Lia Fáil. The bards finished playing the music and the Archbishop began the service. The first part of the service was the recognition of the High King. The High King was to be presented by the Archbishop to all the people of the land. From the North, to the West, to the South, and to the East.[/sub]

[sub]The High King stood from the royal chair and took his place near the Lia Fáil, where he would face each way with the Archbishop as his people recognized him as their sovereign. Each time the Archbishop would say: “Sirs, I present unto you, High King Brian II, your undoubted High King. Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?” The people would respond: “God Save High King Brian II!” The High King would bow to each side as a sign of respect for their recognition. After repeating this 3 more times, the High King returned to the royal chair, where he was to take the Coronation Oath. The Archbishop bowed before the High King and began.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Is Your Majesty willing to take the Oath?”[/sub]

[B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”I am willing.”[/sub]

[B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Will you, Donough O’Brien, solemnly promise and swear that you will faithfully execute the office and perform the functions of High King of Ireland?”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The High King was assisted by a priest, who held a copy of the text for him to respond.[/sub]

[list][B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”I solemnly promise so to do.”[/sub]

[B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Will you to the best of your ability uphold, defend and obey the Constitution and laws of Ireland and dedicate your abilities to the service and welfare of the people of Ireland?”[/sub]

[B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”I will.”[/sub]

[B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in Ireland the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Religion? Will you maintain and preserve inviolable laws of the Holy Mother Church, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?”[/sub]

[B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”All this, I promise to do.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Archbishop bowed to the High King and went back to the altar. He returned and the High King said.[/sub]

[list][B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”The things which I have here before promised, I will perform, and keep. May God direct and sustain me.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]With the Oath complete, the Archbishop bowed to the High King again, leaving for the altar. He returns with a bible, which is to be the High King’s own copy.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Here is Wisdom; This is the royal Law; These are the lively Oracles of God.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Archbishop handing it to him and the High King took the bible and then accepted it before giving it back to the Archbishop. The ceremony then went on as a normal Christian service, with a reading from the bible and the reading of the Gospel. The service was interrupted half-way through, as was expected and the most important part of the ceremony takes place, the Anointing. The High King removed his grand robes of state and his crown that he was wearing, as well as his jewelry. He, now in just his coronation robes, went from the royal chair to stand in front of the Lia Fáil to put his hand on it. Before he put his hand on the Lia Fáil, he was wrapped in a simple, white gown for the anointing. He then placed his hand on the Lia Fáil. The parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara poured the holy oil into a golden spoon, then Archbishop took the oil into his hand and drew a cross on the High King’s head. He then recite the anointing prayer.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Be thy Head anointed with holy Oil, as kings, priests, and prophets were anointed: And as Solomon was anointed king by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, so be thou anointed, blessed, and consecrated High King over the Peoples, whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]With the anointing finished, the canopy is taken away and the High King removed his hand from the Lia Fáil. He is clothed in the coronation tunic and a brocade made of cloth of gold, together with a Girdle of the same. He’s clothed by the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara and the Mistress of the Robes. He then sat down in the royal chair once he is finished. The Sword of State, a replica of the sword used by High King Brian Boru, is brought to the Archbishop by the Lord Chamberlain. The Archbishop says a short prayer and lays it upon the altar before presenting it to the High King. Accompanied by the Archbishop of Dublin, the Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, and the Archbishop of Tuam, the Archbishop of Armagh places the sword in the High King’s hand.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive this kingly Sword, brought now from the Altar of God, and delivered to you by the hands of us the Bishops and servants of God, though unworthy. With this sword do justice, stop the growth of iniquity, protect the holy Church of God, help and defend widows and orphans, restore the things that are gone to decay, maintain the things that are restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order: that doing these things you may be glorious in all virtue; and so faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign forever with him in the life which is to come. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The High King then stands and walks alone to the altar and hands it to the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara. The parish priest then gives it to a priest, who unsheaths it and will carry it before the Queen for the rest of the ceremony. Now the ceremony turns to the presenting of the regalia. First the Broighter Collar. The parish priest delivers them from the altar to the Archbishop, who puts it around the High King’s neck.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive the Collar of sincerity and wisdom, both for tokens of the Lord's protection embracing you on every side; and also for symbols and pledges of that bond which unites you with your Peoples: to the end that you may be strengthened in all your works and defended against your enemies both bodily and ghostly, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Next, the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara took the Tara Brooch from the altar. He handed it to the Archbishop who then pin it to the High King’s clothes right on his chest.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive this Ancient Royal Brooch, whom the Lord God endue you with might and power. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Next, the High King stands and the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara, assisted by the Mistress of the Robes clothes the High King in the Royal Robe. The Lord Great Chamberlain fastened the clasps. The High King then sat down.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive this Royal Robe, and the Lord your God endue you with knowledge and wisdom, with majesty and with power from on high; the Lord clothe you with the robe of righteousness, and with the garments of salvation. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Then, the Orb with the cross on top was brought to the High King from the altar by the parish priest. He handed it to the Archbishop who then handed it to the High King’s right hand.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive this Orb set under the Cross, and remember that the whole world is subject to the Power and Empire of Christ our Redeemer.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The High King then hands the Orb back to the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara who puts it on the altar until the High King will depart from the Hill of Tara. Then the High King is presented with the sovereign ring. The Archbishop placed it on the High King’s right ring finger.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive the Ring of kingly dignity, and the seal of Catholic Faith: and as you are this day consecrated to be our Prince and Defender, so may you continue steadfastly as the Defender of Christ's Religion; that being rich in faith and blessed in all good works, you may reign with him who is the King of Kings, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Next are the scepters. The High King has the royal glove placed on his right hand and he takes the Royal Scepter in his right hand.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive the Royal Sceptre, the ensign of kingly power and justice.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Archbishop then steps back and takes the Rod with the Shamrock and hands it to the High King, who takes it in his left hand.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Receive the Rod of equity and mercy. Be so merciful that you be not too remiss, so execute justice that you forget not mercy. Punish the wicked, protect and cherish the just, and lead your people in the way wherein they should go.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Now, the moment everyone was waiting for had arrived, the crowning. The Archbishop went to the altar, where a simple old 10th-11th century crown sat on a crimson, velvet pillow. This was the crown of High King Brian Boru. It was entrusted to the Vatican 1,000 years ago, but with the restoration of the native Irish monarchy and Ireland independence, It was given back to the Irish government to be used to crown a new monarch. He took the Crown in his hands and raised it, still facing the altar.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”O God the Crown of the faithful: Bless we beseech thee this Crown, and so sanctify thy servant Donough upon whose head this day thou dost place it for a sign of royal majesty, that he may be filled by thine abundant grace with all princely virtues: through the King eternal Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]He then places it back down on the pillow and makes his way back to the Royal Chair. The parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara then takes the Crown from the altar and brings it to the Archbishop. The people all stand up. The Irish Peers and Princes and Princesses who wearing crowns, coronets, and caps removed them. This was it, this was the crowning moment that everyone had waited for. The moment the High King dreamed about one day coming. It was now at this moment. The whole Hill was silent and the air was thick with anticipation.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”Once crowned your name will no longer be Donough, but Brian. Will you accept your new name?”[/sub]

[B]DONOUGH O’BRIEN, SOON TO BE HIGH KING:[/B] [sub]”I will.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Archbishop took Brian Boru’s Crown off of the pillow and stood before the High King, lifting it high up in the air. Not a sound could be heard as he lifted it high to the heavens. He then slowly lowered it, placing it upon the High King’s head. When he removed his arms and stood back, everyone who took off their hats placed them back on and the people cried out, “God Save the High King! God Save the High King! God Save the High King!” Trumpets sounded throughout the Hill and the signal was given. In the distance, guns fired from outside the village in a salute. The bells of the Church rang out as people down the hill knew that the High King had been crowned. Once the acclimation was finished, the Archbishop stood back and looked at the High King, who sat in full regalia, crowned and anointed.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth forever. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Archbishop then blessed the High King and then blessed the people on the hill. Now it Is time for Mei to be crown as High Queen Consort of Ireland. Mei O’Brien gave her tiara to the High King’s mother, High Queen Sinéad and walk toward the altar where she kneels down in front of the Archbishop and the High King. The Archbishop was given the holy oil by the parish priest of St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara and anoint her on her head with the same anointing prayer. Then the parish priest takes the Crown of the High Queen Consort from the altar and brings it to the Archbishop. The Archbishop then lifted the Crown of the High Queen Consort up in the air and then slowly lowered it, placing it upon Mei’s head. When he removed his arms and stood back, everyone who placed their hats back on and the people cried out, “God Save the High Queen! God Save the High Queen! God Save the High Queen!” The Bell of the Church rang out as a signal to the people down the hill that the High Queen Consort had been crowned. Once the acclimation was finished, the Archbishop stood back and looked at the High Queen Consort, who stand crowned and anointed.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”God crown you also with a crown of glory and righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth forever. Amen.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Now the time had come for the peers to pay homage to the High King and High Queen Consort. The High King stood, crowned and with both scepters in her hand and went over to the Royal Chair and sat down on it. The High Queen Consort stood and crowned and went over to the Consort Chair, which was next to the Royal Chair, and sat down on it. Then the homage began where first the two priests pay homage to them, then the Archbishop of Armagh pay his homage and then swear his loyalty to them.[/sub]

[list][B]JOSEPH CARDINAL MACRORY, ARCHBISHIOP OF ARMAGH AND PRIMATE OF ALL IRELAND:[/B] [sub]”I, Joseph, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland will be faithful and true, and faith and truth will bear unto you, our Sovereign, High King of this Realm and Defender of the Faith. I will also be faithful and true, and faith and truth bear unto you, our Sovereign wife, High Queen of this realm, and unto your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The other Archbishop present repeated this, doing the same as the Archbishop of Armagh. Next, the Peers were to pay homage to the High King and High Queen Consort. The second brother to the High King and Duke of Leinster, Prince Phaedrig, was the first to do so. He bowed to them, removed his coronet, and then knelt before them. He placed his hands in the hands of the High King.[/sub]

[list][B]PHAEDRIG O’BRIEN, PRINCE AND DUKE OF LEINSTER:[/B] [sub]”I, Phaedrig, Duke of Leinster, do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The rest of the peers, his uncles, cousins, and relatives do the same in descending order of precedence. Once the homage was finished, the people cry out, “God save High King Brian II! Long live High King Brian II! May the High King and High Queen Consort live forever!” The communion was next. The High King and the High Queen Consort both went to the altar. The High King removed Brian Boru’s Crown and handed it and the scepters to the Lord Great Chamberlain and the other Officers of State. Mei took off the Crown of the High Queen Consort and they both knelt before the altar. The communion service was held and the High King and the High Queen Consort both received communion. They both put their crowns back on and the High King received the scepters again.[/sub]

[sub]With the coronation now being over, the High King and the High Queen Consort went into St. Patrick Church at the Hill of Tara. This was the last moment the High King had on all of the regalia. He was followed by the High Queen Consort, the Groom of the Robes, the Lord Great Chamberlain, and the other Lords, who brought the regalia. The Archbishop then stood at the altar in the church and the High King presented him with the scepters. He placed them on the altar, saying a prayer. Next, the High King brought the Crown to the Archbishop, who placed it on the altar. Then the Mistress of the Robes, the Groom of the Robes, and the Lord Great Chamberlain disrobed the High King of the Royal Robe and then they place a green robe around him. He is then given his long train again, attended by the maids. The High King then puts on the Royal State Crown. It glistened and glittered in the low light of the church. It fit perfectly on the High King’s head. He then took the Scepter and the Orb in his hands and departed from the church.[/sub]

[sub]The great procession down from the hill had already begun, with the Taoiseach and other guests having come down from the hill. When the High King stepped out of the church, the people on the Hill stood up as he began to walk down. The High Queen Consort went before him, while his family would wait to leave after him. As the High King began to walk down the hill, the national anthem “Amhrán na bhFiann” ("The Soldier's Song") was played and the people on the Hill bowed to the High King as he passed. Once down the Hill of Tara and into public view, the crowd erupted in a great roar. The High King and the High Queen Consort were helped into the Limousine where they will be driven back to Áras an Ardrí in Dublin. The High King waved at the people and smiled as he passed them by, leaving the village and the county, returning to Áras an Ardrí in Dublin. The High King was crowned and his people celebrated his glory, as he will come to reign over them for many years to come.[/sub]
