ANG PILIPINAS AY TUMANGGAP NG $150,000 MULA SA US UPANG MAAYOS ANG IMPRASTRUKTURA AT MGA DAAN SA VISAYAS AT MINDANAO[/list][/list]

[list]| With the newly formed Philippine Commonwealth now truly in control, one of President Manuel Quezon's main concerns was the lack of modernized Philippine infrastructure in populated areas, particularly in the Southern Visayas and Mindanao region. Most 'infrastructure' in those areas are made up of simple Nipa Huts known as 'Bahay Kubo' and dirt roads only capable of handling horses and walking. Something had to be done because if the Philippines were to gain independence within ten years, the Philippines needs to modernize and improve if the country can even be up to par with the modern standards of the future. With this information, Quezon brought the issue to the United States, and with the help of some $150,000 given by the United States, the Philippines could now improve infrastructure and roads. Soon, the consent local mayors and leaders of the Visayas and Mindanao regions had agreed to let the work start, and volunteers offered to do the work. Work will start by the end of the year, with new roads and proper buildings and houses being seen in these regions by 1937. | [/list]

FRENCH BUREAUCRACY

MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR[/pre][/list]

______

MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR: FRANC DEVALUATION AND REDUCTION IN FRENCH TRADE IMPORT TARIFFS

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, OCTOBER 1936[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR - | In three days and nights of aggressive debate, the Senate and Chamber of France finally authorized the radical Cabinet of Premier Leon Blum to reduce the value of the French franc by 20% last week, but at every stage of the debate Socialist Blum was served notice that Parliament had given him no monetary free hand such as the U. S. Congress gave President Roosevelt at the time the dollar was devalued.[/sub]

[sub]Devaluation and "alignment" of the franc at about 15 to the Dollar and at about 87 to the Pound Sterling was only a fraction of what Socialist Blum, who was strongly pressed by the Communist Deputies among his supporters had sought to obtain from Parliament. Ignoring the peasantry, the numerous artisans and small shopkeepers and the French middle classes, the Communists got the Premier to write into his bill a measure which would automatically have raised the wages of proletarian factory workers and other small-salaried employees on a sliding scale in exactly the proportion that French living costs rose—as they are sure to rise—in terms of the devalued or "Blum franc." This attempt by the Communists to exempt the proletariat, in which they have their main following, from the sacrifices other French classes are being asked to bear, brought down on Premier Blum the greatest outburst of Parliamentary wrath in months. Representatives of other classes showed not the least embarrassment in rebuking the presumptuous proletariat, and cheers greeted a resounding slap at Premier Blum by famed old Senator Joseph Caillaux, many times Finance Minister. "It is, as you say, the duty of every Government to hear both the employers' and the workers' sides," roared M. Caillaux at M. Blum, "but you Monsieur le Président du Conseil, have shown preference for the predominance of a class —the proletariat—which has the right to our solicitude but which is not the only class in the country!"[/sub]

[sub]Premier Blum on his Cabinet's front bench grew visibly more and more nervous as the proletariat-pampering section of the bill was belabored by Monsieur Paul Reynaud, long the chief advocate in France of devaluation and last week riding the crest of acclaim. Deputies and Senators who used to scoff at his ideas showed strong inclination to regard him as an expert pilot in the difficult monetary channel France must now navigate. Deputy Reynaud dismissed as of minimum importance the stabilization agreement Finance Minister Vincent Auriol had verbally obtained from U. S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. and British Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain. It was scarcely worth the breath in which it was spoken, Monsieur Reynaud indicated, but it was also harmless since neither Washington nor London for the moment is financially at odds with Paris.[/sub]

[sub]"We must play devaluation and we must play it well!" cried Deputy Reynaud, attacking the Communist's pet clause. "Is France going to be the only country in the world in which devaluation fails to promote a return to Prosperity?"[/sub]

[sub]With scowls spreading on Communist faces, Premier Blum finally reached for a scrap of paper, wrote on it that his Cabinet would drop the proletariat-pampering clause, and passed it to Monsieur Reynaud. There was much bouncing of the bill back and forth between Chamber and Senate but the final result was straight defeat of the Communists and refusal by Parliament to place in Socialist Blum's hands any wide financial powers. His prestige suffered sorely. Once he bleated, "I know that I am not a weak man and that I do not lack courage." He was bolstered by a vote of "affection and confidence" wangled through the Chamber by its radicals. Conservatives had the satisfaction that Premier Blum, during the debate, was forced to retreat from the rabble-rousing attitude which he struck recently at Poissy, addressing throngs of French workers beneath an enormous banner poster of himself remindful of those unfurled at Moscow to glorify Stalin. With his Communist supporters highly approving the stay-in-strike technique, Premier Blum felt constrained to tell the Chamber at 6 a. m.: "Occupation of factories by strikers cannot continue and shall not continue. The confidence which the working class has in the Government dispenses with the necessity of employing any methods other than those of conciliation and arbitration."[/sub]

[sub]If this meant anything, it meant to Frenchmen that the next time proletarians try to seize a factory by "folding arms" inside it and locking out the owner, they will be turned out themselves by French police. Whether or not Premier Blum would stick by this seemed more than doubtful, but with the "Blum franc" established last week he next took the most drastic step of his career. Ever since the Great War nations have upped their tariff walls while they talked about downing them. Acting instead of talking this week, Leon Blum slashed French tariffs more deeply than has been done in any country since the War and at the same time swept away more than 100 of the even more vexatious import quotas which have long blocked much trade with France. The Blum decree was complex and selective, but in general French tariffs were lowered 15% on manufactured articles, 17 1/2% on semi-finished goods, and 20%, on raw-stuffs.[/sub]

[sub]This was sure enough to make U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull and other Free Traders generally shed tears of joy. It may mark the end of the post-War craze for excessive Nationalism and usher in a hopeful period of world economic appeasement, freer trade and resultant Prosperity. In France the immediate effects of the measure remained in the greatest bit of doubt. Any reduction of tariffs of course treads on certain toes with resultant squeals. While one school of economists hailed Blum this week, another considered the Premier to be taking the risk of snatching away from French producers by his tariff slash benefits which he had just conferred by devaluing the franc. Apparently the Premier's idea was to keep prices in France from rising by letting in cheap foreign goods. He thus played the card of Devaluation in a manner exactly opposite to that of President Roosevelt whose objective was that prices should be made to rise.[/sub]

[sub]Meanwhile amid catcalls and cheers, Premier Blum had gone to Geneva full of plans for a new World Economic Conference. Schacht Won't? Mussolini Will? Switzerland and The Netherlands quietly joined France off the gold standard last week, Dutch Prime Minister Hendnkus Colijn declaring by radio with masterly understatement: "Practically nothing has been changed as everyone will very soon realize!"[/sub]

[sub]In Berlin the press jubilantly blamed "the Jews" for what had happened, pointing with specific accusation to Monsieur Blum and Mr. Morgenthau as undoubted Jews and rehearsing at length the names of other Jews in official positions in Washington and Paris. "The world cannot be cured with a restabilization of currencies alone!" barked German Reichsbank President Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. This was interpreted as meaning that Dr. Schacht would not for the time being devalue the mark which in any case has been for years a purely artificial currency. But what about the lira? Would Premier Benito Mussolini, who placed the lira on gold in the days when Calvin Coolidge was President and the Gold Standard sacrosanct, recognize that a page of economic history has turned and the entire world must seek readjustment?[/sub]

[sub]Astonishingly the Fascist Dictator, after cogitating with Italian economists in closest secrecy for a week, adopted exactly the same procedure as had the Socialist French Premier. Il Duce decreed 40% reduction in the value of the lira, bringing it to approximately 19 lire per dollar, and he also sweepingly reduced Italian import duties. Thus Fascist Italy, ordinarily considered a super-Nationalist State, was the first to follow the French lead to tariff appeasement and a better economic world. To Washington and to London was presented a supreme opportunity to join in for international economic peace and increasingly Free Trade. "It is necessary," declared Benito Mussolini, "to abandon temporary settlements and enter the field of permanent adjustment!" |[/sub]

CERAMIC PRODUCTION

______________________________________________

While looking around a river within Maziya to get any ideas on how to improve the nation,prime minister Juaidi saw a stockpile of clay and had a idea.What if they could use clay to make ceramic and use said ceramic to sell to any foreign countries or the people for pottery.So he had a crew with shovels begin trying to dig up the clay but after hours the crew reported that it was a massive deposit of clay in the river this brought a smile to the prime minister face as he told the crew to return the clay they collected to a factory for production of ceramic.After a week the prime minister went to the factory to check on the ceramic which their gonna sell just wanting to check the quality to see if it isn't cheaply made and actually had investment into its production and it had positive results for its quality as it wasn't cracking very easily and there is no point in throwing one to the ground as it will shatter no matter how high the quality is.The prime minister would tell the factory producing the ceramic to link their stock with a seller.

Al-Taweel Train Track

Ahvaz-Karbala Track

The "Al-Taweel" train track is a transportation project between the governments of Iraq and Iran to build an infrastructure most specifically for ease of the Arbaʽeen pilgrimage. A Shiite religious observance that occurs forty days after the Day of Ashura. It commemorates the martyrdom of Al-Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad, who was martyred on the 10th day of the month of Muharram. Al-Husayn ibn Ali and 71 of his companions were martyred by Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad's army in the Battle of Karbala.

The French Republic has agreed to assist in financing and helping with the construction of the tracks, alongside agreement of opening a public transportation company in Baghdad, to help with future projects and provide quality trains. Iraq will hold 50% share of the company. The track will stretch from both Ahvaz and Dezful in Iran and go through Amarah, Kut and finally reach Karbala at it's end destination. The distance is over 500KM. Pilgrims will pay a toll upon arrival into Iraqi territory and receive a stay ID until the pilgrimage is done.

Project Completion: January 1939

THE KINGDOM OF FINLAND: A STORY OF SILENCE AND SNOW

Prehistory - 1936

The first group of people settled Finland around 8500 BCE during the Stone Age as the ice sheet of the last ice age receded. The first group of people were hunter-gatherers, using stone tools. The first pottery appeared in around 5200 BCE when the Comb Ceramic culture was introduced. Agriculture started in Finland between 3000 and 2500 BCE. Even with the introduction of agriculture, hunting and fishing continued to be important parts of the subsistence economy. The Bronze Age (1500-500 BCE) and the Iron Age (500 BCE – 1200 CE) were portrayed by widespread contacts with other cultures in the Baltic and Fennoscandian territories. There is no agreement on when Indo-European languages and Uralic languages were first used in the region of modern-day Finland. In the first millennium AD, early Finnish was used in agricultural villages in southern Finland, whereas Sámi-speaking people resided in most regions of the country. The Sami and the Finns are distantly related and the Sami are a distinct community who retained the hunter-gatherer way of life longer than the Finns.

In the 12th and 13th centuries Swedish kings established their rule in Finland as part of the Northern Crusades with the first, second and third crusade against Finns proper, Karelians, and Tavastians. Swedish settlers colonized the coastal territories during the Middle Ages and in the 17th century, Swedish became the main language of the nobility, education and administration. Finnish was mainly the language for the local courts, clergy, and peasantry in predominantly Finnish-speaking regions. In the 16th century, the first written works in Finnish were published by Mikael Agricola. In 1640, Finland’s first university, the Royal Academy of Turku, was established. Between 1696-1697, the country experienced a serious famine and roughly one third of the Finnish populace died.

In the 18th century, Sweden and Russia went to war twice leading to the settlement of Finland by Russian armies. These times are known to the Finns as the Greater Wrath (1714-1721) and the Lesser Wrath (1742-1743). It is approximately that a whole generation of young men lost their lives during the Great Wrath due to obliteration of farms and homes, and due to the burning of Helsinki. A few vocal elite Finns ascertained that Finland’s ties with Sweden were becoming too expensive, thus increasing their desire to break with Sweden. Towards the end of the century, a politically elite section of the Finnish nobility became convinced that because of Russia’s and Sweden recurrent use of Finland as a battlefield, it would be in the nation’s interests to look for autonomy.

On March 29, 1809, Finland became an independent Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire until the end of 1917. In 1811, Russia integrated Russian Vyborg province into the Grand Duchy of Finland. It was during this era when the Finnish language started gaining recognition. From the 1860s, a sturdy Finnish countrywide movement known as the Fennoman movement developed. The Finnish famine of 1866-1868 killed about 15% of the populace. This was the worst famine in European history and it made the Russian Empire ease fiscal policies, leading to a rise in investments in the decades that followed. In 1906, worldwide suffrage was embraced in the Grand Duchy of Finland. However, the association between the Russian Empire and the Grand Duchy became sour when the Russian government made moves to limit Finnish sovereignty. For instance, the global suffrage was, in practice, almost worthless, since the tsar never approved any of the policies implemented by the Finnish parliament. As a result, the need for sovereignty acquired more ground among the locals.

After the February Revolution of 1917, the position of Finland as a portion of the Russian Empire was brought to question especially by the Social Democrats who controlled parliament. The Democrats passed the Power Act to grant the parliament the highest authority but the Russian Provisional Government rejected the act and disbanded the parliament. The Social Democrats considered the dissolution of parliament illegal since the right to do so had been stripped from the Russians by the Power Act. New elections were held, in which right-wing parties won a slim majority. However some Social Democrats refused to accept the result and still claimed that the dissolution of the parliament and the elections were extralegal. The two nearly equally powerful political blocs, the right-wing parties and the social democratic party, were highly antagonized. The October Revolution of 1917 turned Finnish politics upside down. Now, the new non-Socialist majority of the Parliament desired total independence, and the Socialists came gradually to view Soviet Russia as an example to follow. On November 15, 1917, the Bolsheviks declared a general right of self-determination "for the Peoples of Russia", including the right of complete secession. On the same day the Finnish Parliament issued a declaration by which it temporarily took power in Finland.

Worried by developments in Russia and Finland, the non-Socialist Senate proposed that Parliament declare Finland's independence, which was voted by the Parliament on December 6, 1917. On December 18 the Soviet government issued a Decree, recognizing Finland's independence, and on December 22 it was approved by the highest Soviet executive body. Germany and the Scandinavian countries followed without delay. From January to May 1918, Finland experienced the brief but bitter Finnish Civil War. On one side there were the "white" civil guards, who fought for the anti-Socialists. On the other side were the Red Guards, which consisted of workers and tenant farmers. The latter proclaimed a Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic. World War I was still underway and the defeat of the Red Guards was achieved with support from Imperial Germany, while Sweden remained neutral and Russia withdrew its forces. The Reds lost the war and the White peasantry rose to political leadership in the 1920s–1930s. About 37,000 men died, most of them in prisoner camps ravaged by influenza and other diseases.

After both the civil war and the First World War, Finland became a constitutional monarchy, with Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse enthroned in 1919 as its first independent monarch and he took the regnal name of Väinö (after a hero from a Finnish epic poem) to show his support to cause of Finnish independence from foreign rule. The remaining republican politicians formed the National Progressive Party, while the conservative monarchists formed the National Coalition Party. The Finnish–Russian border was determined by the Treaty of Tartu in 1920, largely following the historic border but granting Pechenga (Finnish: Petsamo) and its Barents Sea harbour to Finland. In 1919, under the direction of King Väinö I, the Social Democratic Party was reorganized with Väinö Tanner, who had remained neutral in the civil war, as its leader. A strong proponent of the parliamentary system, Tanner helped to rehabilitate the SDP’s damaged reputation. Along with the remaining Agrarian and Progressive Parties, the SPD formed the main opposition to the National Coalition Party in Parliament. Landgrave Alexander Frederick of Hesse (elder brother of Väinö I) abdicated as the head of the House of Hesse, and Väinö I succeeded him as both Landgrave of Hesse and the head of the House of Hesse. Finnish democracy did not see any Soviet coup attempts and survived the anti-Communist Lapua Movement.

NORTHERN RHODESIA VOTES TO ABSORB INTO SOUTHERN RHODESIA

October 1937

Today in a glorious majority vote the assembly of Northern Rhodesia voted to become absorbed into Southern Rhodesia and as a result both shall henceforth be referred to as the singular construct of "Rhodesia". The decision was a swift one, with Northern Rhodesia being economically and culturally dominated by Southern Rhodesia despite its much smaller white population. By conducting this union however, it also gives Southern Rhodesia much more power over the Federation, their only fellow Federal State being Nyasaland which possesses a miniscule white population and is economically dwarfed in almost every sector by its larger counterpart. Ultimately while the move was comfortable for those in Northern Rhodesia it will result in a much larger concentration of power in Salisbury, which serves the interests of the Southern Rhodesian landowners and policymakers. For the Tribal Confederation this meant little other than a symbolic change of hats and flags, however in legal terms it has resulted in many tribes within Northern Rhodesia being put under the same system of protections that were granted to those under Southern Rhodesia.

[sub]CONDOR LEGION STANDING BASE — CADIZ, The Confederate Prussian Empire[/sub][/list]

[list][list][sub]ERSTE ELEMENTE DER CONDOR-LEGION TREFFEN IN CADIZ EIN, UM DIE NATIONALISTEN ZU UNTERSTÜTZEN![/sub]

[pre]FIRST ELEMENTS OF THE CONDOR LEGION ARRIVE IN CADIZ TO SUPPORT THE NATIONALISTS![/pre][/list][/list]

| In July 1936, Herr Francisco Franco, commander-in-chief and supreme commander of the Nationalist government of Spain, replied to a German letter offering support and the deployment of German volunteer units composed together in a "Condor Legion" to support the Nationalist fight against the communist Republican government. The Reichstag authorized the formation of the Condor Legion in August 1936, but logistical issues encountered by the German Heer (Army) delayed first deployments to September. Following a rise of suspicion in France and among the members of the Mare Nostrum Cordiale, Chancellor Heidler postponed the deployment of Condor Legion units so as to reduce suspicion to agreeable levels. The Minister for the Armed Forces, General Werner von Blomberg, reported in his diary October 1, 1936: |

[list][list][pre]Morgen werden die ersten Mitglieder der Legion Condor die Häfen von Kiel und Hamburg in Richtung der Stadt Cádiz im nationalistischen Spanien verlassen. Vor Monaten hat der Bundeskanzler seine Zusage gegeben, die nationalistische Regierung Francisco Francos zu unterstützen, und nun, nach vielen Monaten der Verzögerung, soll das Versprechen eingelöst werden und Deutschland seine spanischen Brüder im Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus unterstützen können. Auch der Generalstab sieht diesen Einsätzen der deutschen Streitkräfte mit Freude entgegen, denn sie ermöglichen es dem Heer und der Luftwaffe, die Legitimität und Wirksamkeit ihrer taktischen Theorien der kombinierten Waffen und der "Blitzkrieg"-Kriegsführung zu überprüfen.[/pre]

[pre]Tomorrow the first members of the Condor Legion will depart the Ports of Kiel and Hamburg bound for the city of Cadiz in Nationalist Spain. Months ago the Chancellor made his commitment to support the Nationalist Government of Francisco Franco, and now, after many months of delay, the promise shall be fulfilled and Germany shall be able to support its Spanish brothers in the fight against Bolshevism. The General Staff is excited regarding these deployments of German forces as well for this will allow the Heer and Luftwaffe to verify the legitimacy and effectiveness of their tactical theories of combined arms and "Blitzkrieg" warfare.[/pre][/list][/list]

| An estimated 12,000 members of the German heer (Army) will be deployed to Spain as part of the Condor Legion for a six-month period, with renewal possible. The Deputy Minister for the Armed Forces, Major-General Hans Vormelker, escorted the arrival of the first elements of the Condor Legion, a force of 600 infantry and 12 Panzerkampfwagen I armored vehicles, to Cadiz, at which it arrived on 12 October 1936. The Condor Legion will be placed under the sole command of Herr Francisco Franco, but shall be assisted in leading the Legion by German military advisors who will support Nationalist operational planning. |

British Malaya,OCTOBER 1936

[B]British Influence increased

Since the 1920's there has been British advisors within regions in Malaya which are considered as the Federal Malay States with the British advisors increasing the influence of the British within the region and over time some of the federal states have agreed to be governed over by the British.Same with some regions which are considered as unfederated Malay states,which to have agreed to be fully under British administration.Some of these states in comparison to Malacca the capital of British Malaya were incredibly underdeveloped,some only had earth roads some had no form of roads,but all of them had buildings which were made out of wood and compared to the rest of British Malaya there was no sign of industrialization within the region's as they purely had agricultural gains,because of this the new states which have agreed to enter British administration had to undergo a few major changes such as proper roads,some form of minor industrialization and improved housing conditions.

NANKING, CANTON, AND SHANGHAI:[/sub]

[sub]Should Canton and its clique of Southern Chinese Generals be sold out, it would be done through the dealings of Hongkong Hu. Just the prior week he met discreetly with General Doihara, puffing an admirable smoke screen of anti-Japanese tongue-lashings: [/sub]

[sub]》HONGKONG HU 一 日本必须放弃她在远东的统治态度! [...] 她必须放弃支持“亚洲门罗主义”的一切自负 [...] 如果中国和日本之间的富有成果的合作要在得以实现。

“Japan must abandon her attitude of dominance in the Far East! [...] She must drop all pretensions to sponsorship of an ‘Asiatic Monroe Doctrine [...] This ambitious doctrine—tantamount to Japanese assumption of superiority in the Far East—must be dropped if fruitful collaboration between China and Japan is to be realized.” [/sub]

[sub]The bluster preceding Hongkong Hu's use of the word “if” could be disregarded in full. It was what followed that was of immense consequence. The implication was certainly clear that Canton, which for a span of four years had harassed the Chinese Government at Nanking with charges of alleged “treachery to China,” and even “supineness towards Japan,” could now be ready to yield to the smooth-talk of Tokyo and its Shanghai Lily. Such an outcome, in which substantial Japanese bribes would most certainly give a push to, could very well result in a turning point for China in her 20th Century history — a shift towards a policy of ‘Asia for Asiatics,’ with Japan at its helm.[/sub]

[sub]Canton stood precariously in the balance between Japan and China. The region was referred to as treacherous and supine to Japanese interests in China, and there existed a fear of Canton falling completely into Japanese hands, one that was becoming more and more real by the day. Asia seemed poised to fall into the full control of the Japanese, proven by the faltering blatantly anti-Japanese approach taken by the farthest metropolis of China. Japanese diplomacy possibly had a major victory in Nanking — the capital of China that rules over Central China, focuses on the North, and promises to rule in the South, all the while people in the south continue to starve. [/sub]

[sub]Nanking-based President Lin Sen, a quaint man, is emblematic of old CHINA. While on a round-the-world trip in 1929, he refused to experience the luxury of the the Chinese Diaspora, stating:[/sub]

[sub]》President LIN SEN 一 让我们不要把我们的时间和金钱浪费在宴席和丰盛的食物上,而这么多人挨饿。

“Let us not spend our time and our money upon fine banquets and rich food while so many starve.”[/sub]

[sub]Lin Sen even refuses to stay in the ornate “White House” of Nanking, instead conceding such a privilege to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the real leader of Nanking. The two men uphold their illusion of power over the communist armies every other week, claiming the communists are “nearly exterminated,” though in fact they continue to lead countless armies in campaigns against the ever-persistent communist resistance. Meanwhile in Shanghai, a fierce critic of Chiang Kai-shek and the leader of left-wing KMT opposition in Wuhan, Wang Ching-wei, appears to have been contacted to attend secret negotiations with the Japanese...

[sub]His Majesty King Farouk Begins Investment Into Education and Improving Quality of Teachers[/sub][/list]

[pre]F A R O U K[/pre]

ROYAL OFFICE OF HIS MAJESTY FAROUK I, HELIOPOLIS PALACE

[sub]CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii — EVENING[/sub]

| If Egypt's school systems are to become what they were meant to be—institutions that truly educate, enable, and prepare Egypt's students for the challenges of the future, King Farouk must address the huge educational problems of Egypt immediately and with little hesitation. Education reform is at the top of virtually every government's priority, and Egypt is no exception. While numerous aspects must be addressed, some needing more resources than others, the following three are critical to maintaining long-term educational excellence in Egypt: 1) finding the appropriate people to become teachers; 2) nurturing educators into effective teachers, and 3) ensuring that the system is capable of providing the greatest possible education for every child. The Egyptian Consultative Assembly has determined that the best method to ensure the promotion of education and the delivery of a world-class education system is to enhance teacher quality. |

| To attract the right people to the teaching profession, the government and universities must make it highly competitive and appealing for high school graduates to enter the field of teaching, screening candidates before they enter the field of teaching to find the correct applicants with the necessary skills. To become an effective teacher, candidates must have a certain set of traits that may be identified before they join the classroom: a high general level of reading and numeracy, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a readiness to learn, and the drive to teach. Selection procedures must be established to test for and select applicants who exhibit these abilities and traits. |

| While some may argue that such attention is a luxury that Egypt cannot afford, His Majesty King Farouk believes that investing resources in this area is vital to the long-term and continued strengthening of Egypt's public education system. The Ministry of Education must concentrate a considerable emphasis on teaching candidates' academic achievement, communication skills, and passion to teach. It should implement an exam that evaluates numeracy, literacy, and problem-solving capabilities. The top-scoring candidates should then advance to the second round of the selection process, which is administered by individual universities and involves evaluating applicants for communication skills, readiness to learn, academic aptitude, and passion to teach. |

| Another important factor in attracting the right people to become teachers is to offer decent initial wages. Education systems that frontload compensation succeed due to two factors: first, salary progression is less relevant in the decision to become a teacher than starting salary, and second, teacher retention is often not particularly correlated to salary progression. The bottom line is that the capacity to attract the proper people is more closely related to the status of teachers and educators in society. When teaching becomes a high-status career, more talented individuals will aspire to become teachers, lifting the profession's bar even further. |

| Most importantly, if Egypt is to improve the quality of instruction of a single teacher, the nation needs to develop the systems to create these conditions for all teachers. This is a massive undertaking, to be sure, but with Egypt's vast human capital, and the non-resource intensive nature of teaching teachers, it is nevertheless achievable, one teacher at a time. High performing school systems construct effective interventions at the level of the school, identify schools that are not performing satisfactorily, and get involved to raise standards of performance. The very best systems further intervene at the level of the individual student, developing processes and structures within schools that can identify whenever a student is starting to fall behind, and then work to improve that child’s performance. To ensure that every child receives the best possible education, teachers must therefore maintain the highest level of involvement with their students. |

| By the same token, school systems in Egypt must guarantee that every child has access to excellent instruction by ensuring that the school can compensate for disadvantages that may result from the student’s home environment. To make sure that this happens, Egypt needs to set standards and expectations that are both clear and high for what Egyptian individual students should know, understand, and be able to do. While the process of selecting curricula and standards is often long, difficult, and controversial, some commonalities are clear when looking at the world’s top systems and their curricula: an emphasis on numeracy and literacy is critical in the early years; standards, assessment, and instruction need to be closely aligned to the curriculum; and clear and high expectations need to be set for the performance of all students. To guarantee that great education is delivered consistently across the system, Egypt's school systems must employ a combination of observation and effective intervention—at both the school and individual levels. While this is no easy challenge, it can and should be handled if Egypt is to contend with other nations around the globe.  |

MINISTÈRE DE LA JUSTICE[/pre][/list]

______

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE: FRENCH WIVES WIN

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, DECEMBER 1936[/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF JUSTICE, MINISTÈRE DE LA JUSTICE - | Momentous to every mistress in France last week was an unexpected decision by the country's highest court, La Cour de Cassation. Its sprightly old men, who would be considered tasteless and absurd if they did not keep their own quota of mistresses, found on their calendar in a single day three cases of the same type: a master has died in an accident, and his wife and children and mistress are seeking justice. The mistress produces to the court letters from her late master, rent receipts, paid grocery bills and other evidence establishing that she is by no means a "loose or promiscuous" woman as those terms are understood in France but an unswerving, faithful mistress.[/sub]

[sub]Hitherto French courts have held that such an exemplary mistress, whether or not her master was also married, had a juridical right to share modestly with the relatives of her man in whatever is collected from the person to blame for the accident which killed him. Mistresses mourned, wives exulted in France this week for the Highest Tribunal, after hearing that in one day three mistresses try to prove themselves admirable, handed down the blanket decision that henceforth any woman upon the sudden death by accident of her man shall "have right to damages only if united to the victim by the legal bonds of matrimony." |[/sub]

[sub]Request for Infrastructure & Reformed Government Structure[/sub][/list]

GOVERNOR’S HOUSE, LAGOS, PROTECTORATE AND COLONY OF NIGERIA, (Nigerian Federal States)

[sub]| GOVERNOR’S HOUSE | — The merge between Northern and Southern Nigeria in 1914 saw the creation of the modern boundaries of Nigeria – created by Governor Sir Frederick Lugard despite the massive opposition within the political class and locals within Lagos and the surrounding coastal communities. Although unpopular by many due to his views of the Nigerian ethnic groups (regarding education, sophistication and other things), his tenure as Governor saw Nigeria’s development in infrastructure skyrocketed as it would connect the northern part of the colony to the more wealthy southern parts (with access to seaports), as well as helped in making Nigeria to have common telegraphs, railways, customs and excise, a Supreme Court, a standard time, a common currency, and a common civil service.[/sub]

[sub]Unlike many Dominions in the British Empire and several “self-governing” or autonomous regions within the British Empire, Nigeria was indirectly ruled with the local chiefs and rulers maintaining their authority over their people and territories (with British advisors and oversight). Although a cheaper and easier way to maintain their colonies, it presented problems from the locals as leaders were often unpopular (mainly due to the British choosing leaders similar to their beliefs) and the fact that the British preferred leaders of the North as they were more willing to cooperate with the British colonial office.[/sub]

[sub]Described as a “time bomb” by some of Nigeria’s educated individuals, the unity of the country could not be possible or maintained if major change were not implemented. With the British preferring the north, Nigeria’s two major ethnic groups (Igbo and Yoruba) often were placed in lower jobs while the north (Hausa) had more “administrative”’jobs. In an attempt to ease the tension between Nigeria’s three ethnic groups, Governor Sir Bernard Henry Bourdillon would send a request to London considering taking the steps to autonomy or Dominionship. The request would include:[/sub]

[list] [sub]• Creation of a legislative assembly with 60 seats (10 for each region and 30 for British seats).[/sub]

[sub]• Creation of the position of “Colonial Minister” (similar to “Prime Minister” but in charge of Nigeria’s domestic affairs such as infrastructure, education, health, police and internal defence while foreign policy and military affairs outside of Nigeria would be in control by the British).[/sub]

[sub]• Reform the position of Governor (to approve legislation on behalf of the British Parliament and His Majesty, the King).[/sub]

[sub]• Local chiefs and royalty would keep some of their traditional governance (tribal chiefs and royalty would keep their titles and authorities — national laws would overtake local laws. Local chiefs and royalty would be “representatives” of their people and territories.[/sub]

SIR BERNARD H. BOURDILLON, Governor of Nigeria: [sub]”The start of Nigerian nationalism, as well as tense relations with the southern Yoruba & Igbo and the northern Hausa cannot be ignored. Nigeria cannot prosper and function if the people are against one another. They are all united in a sense of desired freedom — a growing force wishing to make their own decisions and eventually break free from the British Crown. I hereby ask the United Kingdom to review and negotiate these requests on behalf of the Nigerian people in efforts to ease tensions and concerns within the country and to continue the development of Nigeria by all means.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Also seeing other colonial nations beginning to develop their infrastructure projects, the Governor would also request additional funding to help maintain and build more rail networks (with potential expansions to the Congo and French West Africa and to easily connect communities via rail), more air fields (to begin domestic and limited transportation services to surrounding countries), build more schools within the small communities of Nigeria and focus on developments of new towns (for the growing population of Nigeria) and other services.[/sub]

[list] [sub]• Additional funding to maintain and expand rail service (new rolling stock trains for passenger and freight services, maintain tracks, adopt a standard gauge, build new lines to isolated communities, build new stations).[/sub]

[sub]• Build new air fields to promote domestic flights within Nigeria and limited services to Congo and French West Africa (thus potentially creating Nigeria’s first “airline” and possibly Africa’s first airline).[/sub]

[sub]• Build new primary and secondary schools within Nigeria’s isolated communities to further educate the Nigerian population (More primary schools and secondary schools in order to educate Nigerians and put them into the workforce).[/sub]

[sub]• Progressively build new communities for Nigerians (growing populations to ease overpopulation in cities. Some communities will be “work communities” and located near Nigeria’s resourceful areas).[/sub]

[sub]• More weapons such as guns and vehicles (to train the Nigerian Domestic Defence Force, Nigerian Police and other security services).[/sub]

SIR BERNARD H. BOURDILLON, Governor of Nigeria: [sub]”I believe these reasonable requests of administrative change and projects would be beneficial to the British Empire in the long run. A prosperous colony not only thrives, but can become valuable for its people. I await the answers from the British Parliament and the approval from His Majesty. God Bless Nigeria.”[/sub]

[list][list][sub]BAU DER SIEGFRIED-LINIE GEGEN DIE FRANZÖSISCHE MAGINOTLINIE BEGINNT MIT DER STATIONIERUNG VON "STÄNDIGEN SICHERHEITSKRÄFTEN" ENTLANG DER DEUTSCH-FRANZÖSISCHEN GRENZE[/sub]

[pre]CONSTRUCTION OF SIEGFRIED LINE TO COUNTER FRENCH MAGINOT BEGINS AMID STATIONING OF 'PERMANENT SECURITY FORCES' ALONG THE FRANCO-GERMAN BORDER[/pre][/list][/list]

| The French "Maginot Line" was built in the early 1930s as a method of deterring any possible future attacks by the Weimar Republic and to assist in defending the French heartland - which could be accessed through the Franco-German border on which the Maginot Line lay - from German offensives. While the French Government constantly reiterated that the artillery positions, floors upon floors of bunkers, communications centers and ammunition storages, as well as encampments and troop placements along the Line were solely for defensive purposes, the German Government still had reason to doubt at least part of the French's true intention with the Maginot. As such, on 2 December 1936, by order of Chancellor Adolph Heidler, the German Heer (Army) in cooperation with several private construction entities began construction of the Westwall, or the Siegfried Line, to counter the French Maginot. Of the Line, the Staatskanzler said: |

[list][list][pre]Der Westwall - oder die Siegfried-Linie, wie unsere Kameraden im Heer beschlossen haben, ihn zu nennen - wird dem einzigen und alleinigen Zweck gewidmet sein, den deutschen Staat gegen alle möglichen französischen Einfälle zu verteidigen, insbesondere gegen solche, die mit Unterstützung der "defensiven" Maginot-Linie durchgeführt werden. Es sollte klargestellt werden, dass die Siegfried-Linie den französischen Streitkräften und der Französischen Republik zwar keinen Schaden zufügt, dass sie aber Schaden anrichten wird, sollten die tyrannischen Kräfte Frankreichs die Grenze nach Germanien überschreiten. Der Westwall wird stark, befestigt und auf alle Arten von Angriffen vorbereitet sein, sowohl vom Boden, aus der Luft als auch von der Langstreckenartillerie, die in den zahlreichen Artilleriebunkern der Maginot-Linie gelagert ist.[/pre]

[pre]The Westwall - or the Siegfried Line as our comrades in the Heer have decided to call it - will be dedicated to the sole and singular purpose of defending the German Staat against any and all possible French incursions, especially those conducted with the support of the 'defensive' Maginot Line. It should be made clear that while the Siegfried Line poses no harm to the French forces and the French Republic, harm will be inflicted by said Line should the tyrannical forces of France cross the border into Germania. The Westwall will be strong, fortified and prepared to take any and all forms of assault, from both the ground, air, and long-range artillery encamped within the Maginot Line's many artillery bunkers.[/pre][/list][/list]

| Construction began on 17 December 1936 in a groundbreaking ceremony initiated by the Minister for the Armed Forces and the Minister for the Interior, as well as the Vice Chancellor of Germany. Work on the Westwall began following the announcement by the Ministry for Defense that an estimated 2,500 additional 'permanent security forces' will be stationed along the Franco-German border for the purposes of further ensuring the national sovereignty and internal and external security of the German Staat against any and all possible incursions by the French Republic. Staatskanzler (State Chancellor) Heidler made it clear in his speech to the Reichstag on 8 December 1936 that these forces would in no way be a threat to the French Republic and its territorial integrity. |

HARBOUR PROTECTION SCHEDULE

______________________________________________

Maziya newly developed "modern" naval branch of the military has seen a couple of major improvement with two new warships.However the main purpose of the new development was to establish some form of protection for their open harbours for trading or selling uses only,however they don't want to spend too much money into getting a lot of coal to power their warships for a 24 hours schedule instead the morning would have no protection on the water but will have a lot of soldiers including members of the navy on the harbour armed with guns and this will last until the afternoon,come evening the warships will be in used as they will protect the waters during evening till night but half of the soldiers on the harbour will be sent back to the closest military base to rest for the morning to afternoon shift.

[list][list][sub]PRODUKTION VON PANZERN I UND ANDEREN HEERESFAHRZEUGEN STEIGT MIT BEGINN DER PRODUKTION IN ÖSTERREICHISCHEN WERKEN[/sub]

[pre]PRODUCTION OF PANZER I TANKS, OTHER ARMY VEHICLES CLIMB AS PRODUCTION IN AUSTRIAN FACILITIES BEGIN[/pre][/list][/list]

| The annexation of Austria (Anschluss) into the German Staat was not only a method of expanding German influence on the Continent and uniting the German peoples under one government, that being the one in Berlin, but also as a way to boost the production of material, weapons, supplies and vehicles for the German Armed Forces (Wehrmacht) through the acquisition of Austrian industry and production centers and facilities. In the weeks and immediate months after the German occupation, German corporations and predominantly the Government's Ministry for Production acquired many - if not all - major Austrian centers of production to support the German economy and what was in secret being called the German 'war machine'. Of these mass acquisitions, Minister for Production Ernst Vogel said: |

[list][list][pre]Auch wenn einige diese Übernahmen negativ sehen, weil dadurch scheinbar Produktionskapazitäten aus Österreich abgezogen und die positiven wirtschaftlichen Vorteile dieser Produktionsanlagen nach Deutschland verlagert werden, so ist doch festzustellen, dass die Volkswirtschaften Österreichs und Deutschlands nun faktisch zu einer verschmolzen sind und somit beide Seiten von diesen Übernahmen stark profitieren werden. Während wir sicherstellen, dass die Ziele des Staates geheim bleiben, sollten wir den Österreichern klar machen, dass sie, wenn sie jeden Tag in ihren Fabriken arbeiten und Material für die nationale Verteidigung Deutschlands produzieren, nicht für die Regierung in Berlin arbeiten, sondern für die deutschen Völker, die jetzt unter einem einzigen Banner vereint sind.[/pre]

[pre]While some may view these acquisitions negatively as it seemingly takes away production capacity from Austria and shifts over the positive economic benefits of these production facilities to Germany, it should be noted that the economies of Austria and Germany have now, in effect, merged into one, and thus both sides will benefit greatly from these acquisitions. While ensuring that the vested goals of the Staat remains secret we should make clear to the Austrian people that when they go to work everyday in their factories producing materiel for national defense for Germany, they are not working for the government in Berlin but for the German peoples, now united under one singular banner.[/pre][/list][/list]

| In January of this year, 1937, production of 'materiel for national defense', such as Panzer I armored vehicles, transport cars, half-tracks and other vehicles used primarily by the Heer (German Army) began in earnest, with production rates rising substantially. It is estimated that by June of this year the German Staat will be producing over 60% more national defense materiel than prior to the start of production of materiel in Austrian production facilities, which slowly began in October 1936. Through facilities in Austria, the German Army will produce larger amounts of national defense materiel than ever before with the goal of ensuring the security of Germany's people, the German Government and the interests of the German Staat across the Continent. |

[sub]His Majesty King Farouk Begins Investment Into Education and Improving Quality of Teachers[/sub][/list]

[pre]F A R O U K[/pre]

ROYAL OFFICE OF HIS MAJESTY FAROUK I, HELIOPOLIS PALACE

[sub]CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii — EVENING[/sub]

| If Egypt's school systems are to become what they were meant to be—institutions that truly educate, enable, and prepare Egypt's students for the challenges of the future, King Farouk must address the huge educational problems of Egypt immediately and with little hesitation. Education reform is at the top of virtually every government's priority, and Egypt is no exception. While numerous aspects must be addressed, some needing more resources than others, the following three are critical to maintaining long-term educational excellence in Egypt: 1) finding the appropriate people to become teachers; 2) nurturing educators into effective teachers, and 3) ensuring that the system is capable of providing the greatest possible education for every child. The Egyptian Consultative Assembly has determined that the best method to ensure the promotion of education and the delivery of a world-class education system is to enhance teacher quality. |

| To attract the right people to the teaching profession, the government and universities must make it highly competitive and appealing for high school graduates to enter the field of teaching, screening candidates before they enter the field of teaching to find the correct applicants with the necessary skills. To become an effective teacher, candidates must have a certain set of traits that may be identified before they join the classroom: a high general level of reading and numeracy, excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a readiness to learn, and the drive to teach. Selection procedures must be established to test for and select applicants who exhibit these abilities and traits. |

| While some may argue that such attention is a luxury that Egypt cannot afford, His Majesty King Farouk believes that investing resources in this area is vital to the long-term and continued strengthening of Egypt's public education system. The Ministry of Education must concentrate a considerable emphasis on teaching candidates' academic achievement, communication skills, and passion to teach. It should implement an exam that evaluates numeracy, literacy, and problem-solving capabilities. The top-scoring candidates should then advance to the second round of the selection process, which is administered by individual universities and involves evaluating applicants for communication skills, readiness to learn, academic aptitude, and passion to teach. |

| Another important factor in attracting the right people to become teachers is to offer decent initial wages. Education systems that frontload compensation succeed due to two factors: first, salary progression is less relevant in the decision to become a teacher than starting salary, and second, teacher retention is often not particularly correlated to salary progression. The bottom line is that the capacity to attract the proper people is more closely related to the status of teachers and educators in society. When teaching becomes a high-status career, more talented individuals will aspire to become teachers, lifting the profession's bar even further. |

| Most importantly, if Egypt is to improve the quality of instruction of a single teacher, the nation needs to develop the systems to create these conditions for all teachers. This is a massive undertaking, to be sure, but with Egypt's vast human capital, and the non-resource intensive nature of teaching teachers, it is nevertheless achievable, one teacher at a time. High performing school systems construct effective interventions at the level of the school, identify schools that are not performing satisfactorily, and get involved to raise standards of performance. The very best systems further intervene at the level of the individual student, developing processes and structures within schools that can identify whenever a student is starting to fall behind, and then work to improve that child’s performance. To ensure that every child receives the best possible education, teachers must therefore maintain the highest level of involvement with their students. |

| By the same token, school systems in Egypt must guarantee that every child has access to excellent instruction by ensuring that the school can compensate for disadvantages that may result from the student’s home environment. To make sure that this happens, Egypt needs to set standards and expectations that are both clear and high for what Egyptian individual students should know, understand, and be able to do. While the process of selecting curricula and standards is often long, difficult, and controversial, some commonalities are clear when looking at the world’s top systems and their curricula: an emphasis on numeracy and literacy is critical in the early years; standards, assessment, and instruction need to be closely aligned to the curriculum; and clear and high expectations need to be set for the performance of all students. To guarantee that great education is delivered consistently across the system, Egypt's school systems must employ a combination of observation and effective intervention—at both the school and individual levels. While this is no easy challenge, it can and should be handled if Egypt is to contend with other nations around the globe.  |

[sub]Investment in Education Only First Step in King Farouk's Ten Year Development Plan ![/sub][/list]

[pre]F A R O U K[/pre]

ROYAL OFFICE OF HIS MAJESTY FAROUK I, HELIOPOLIS PALACE

[sub]CAIRO, Kotakuan Ii — EVENING[/sub]

| Last month, the Egyptian Consultative Assembly had determined that the best method to ensure the promotion of education and the delivery of a future world-class education system is to enhance teacher quality and set out methods to establish an environment to make this possible. It is well known that an educated population is one of the first steps to creating prosperity in a nation, but other measures also must be enacted if Farouk's Egypt is to truly reach the aspired potential the Ten Year Development Plan set out last month. The second step in the 'Ten-Year Development Plan', which sets out a timeframe of 1947 for the goals of all these aims to be fully (or majority) reached, is the widespread provision of government services for infrastructure (roads, railways and bridges) and enforcement of public safety and regulations. A junior step in this direction was made in 1929 when King Fuad, and his Prime Minister at the time Mohamad Mahmoud Pasha, introduced the development of Cairo's infrastructure to increase productivity and the interconnectedness of the city. King Farouk wishes to follow in his father's footsteps but on a much grander scale, establishing commercial train routes regularly between Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, Asyut, Suez and Cairo. The 'Ten Year Development Plan' also makes room for the full development of the trans-Egyptian highway between Alexandria and Cairo at a time when automotive travel is becoming increasingly popular albeit only for those who can afford it. In 1935, the English Shell Company built the road six meters wide and constructed with rocks and covered with bitumen, using a "mix-in place" method. Now, only two years later, King Farouk wishes to enhance this by covering the Cairo–Alexandria desert road further with asphalt, creating official road markings and the extension of the road to 9 metres in width by 1947. Creating a grand road connection from Egypt's largest coastal city, to the heart of the nation. |

[sub]There are several further aims in the development plan set out by the Farouk government, these include:[/sub]

[list][sub]1. Sufficiently develop Egypt into an institutionalized/formal economy to efficiently track income and collect taxes.[/sub]

[sub]2. Per capita incomes and income distributions ensure that the majority of the population is not living in absolute poverty.[/sub]

[sub]3. Reliable and reasonable access to utility services (water, sewer systems, sanitation and waste removal).[/sub]

[sub]4. Establishment of markets and exchanges for public securities.[/sub]

[sub]5. Provision of minimum health care services to a reasonable amount of the population, through the creation of several hospitals in major cities and a privatised service system.[/sub]

Nusantara - Dutch East Indies[list]

[sup]The Royal Family of Nusantara[/sup][/list]

| [sub]The Maharaja’s of Nusantara had reigned over the region since the beginning of the 18th century; although much of the ruling was largely done by the Amsterdam Government back in the Netherlands. The Maharaja’s acted as a figurehead to represent the people of Nusantara, to keep them in line and in order.[/sub] |

| [sub]Hamengkubuwono VIII had succeeded his father in February of 1921, Gusti (his common first name) has a keen interest in architecture helping fund renovation projects across Nusantara; he also has worked with local groups and the Amsterdam Government to help improve education and health across the nation.[/sub] |

| [sub]Like a majority of those in Nusantara Gusti is a practicing Muslim; however Islam in Nusantara is viewed as much more relaxed in terms of it’s social views women and men are rarely segregated in wider society with the exception of strict religious settings; like Mosques. Boys and girls are educated in mixed classrooms and although some Islamic schools exist most schools are either run by the Nusantara colonial government or directly by the Amsterdam government.[/sub] |

| [sub]Maharaja Hamengkubuwono’s eldest son Raden Mas Dorodjatun is studying in Amsterdam, he is the expected heir to the throne; although this hasn’t been officially declared in a ceremony. As is tradition in Yogyakarta; a region which the family originates from where they reign as Sultans. It is expected Raden will be recalled to Nusantara within the next few years to receive the kris of Kyai Ageng Joko Piturun to officiate him as heir of Yogyakarta and by default Nusantara.[/sub] |

[list]New Years Day - 1 January 1937

[sub]A Mekong Sunrise[/sub][/list]

Suwannapura, Siam Region, Republic of Suwannaphumi

[sub]On Wan Thaloengsok the final day of Maha Songkran, the three day long Thai New Year’s holiday period for the first time celebrated to correspond with the first of January rather than in April as it had historically been, thousands of Siamese citizens would gather along the Na Phram Lan road outside the main gate of the Grand Palace of Rattanakosin Island. Grand stands, fences and podiums would be adorned with banners of yellow, white and blue as the proud men of the Presidential Guard, retaining the white uniforms of the now defunct King’s Guard, patrol the event. The day celebrated four years since the complete dissolution of the Siamese Monarchy after the 1932 Cousins Conflict and marked the scheduled inauguration of the first official president of Siam.[/sub]

[sub]Popular incumbent Interim President Chula Chakrabongse, royal turned pro-democracy statesman and architect of Republican Siam, had won a landslide victory in the first general election in the history of Siam held in November of 1936. President Chula’s inauguration would mark the end of the interim government he established after his republican Thai Nationalist Party’s (Phrrkh Chātiniym Thịy or PCT) victory over the constitutionalist People’s Party and the royalist National Salvation Group during the Cousins Conflict and the voluntary abdication of his uncle and now Prime Minister Somdet Prajadhipok, ushering in the first elected government of the fledgling republic under the right leaning Free-Thai faction. [/sub]

[sub]President Chula and Prime Minister Prajadhipok would exit the Grand Palace through the main gate to deafening applause as supporters waved miniature flags of the Free-Thai, a triangular banner depicting a white sun on a yellow field. President Chula would address his supporters, thanking them for their support and the significant turnout of the population to participate in the historic first direct democratic election in the region, to ensure a cordial relationship within the party he would bring to the podium, Pridi Banomyong, defeated presidential candidate and opposition leader of the left leaning All-Thai faction of the PCT, to affirm his willingness to work together with and not against those on the other side of the aisle and to stress that the ceremony for the transition of the interim government to the permanent government as defined by the 1932 Interim Constitution as a unifying event to the applause of many All-Thai supporters in the crowd sporting the symbol of their party a standard banner fielding a white star on a blue field.[/sub]

[sub]Under the 1932 Interim Constitution the purpose of the interim government would be fulfilled upon the ascension of the first elected head of state and would therefore be dissolved in conjunction with the constitution itself provided that a permanent constitution is drafted and approved by both houses of the legislature and the acting head of state at the time. The inauguration ceremony would start with the Oath of Allegiance, the only part of the traditional coronation of the king kept by the republic, in which the Sword of Victory, a part of the Royal Regalia, would historically be dipped in sacred water taken from temples across Siam and used to drink the water from the blades tip to swear allegiance to the monarchy, however with the monarchy dissolved and the Royal Regalia relegated to show pieces within the Grand Palace, President Chula and his cabinet would drink from the blade of the Eagle and Elephant Sword given to his great-great-grandfather King Rama III as a gift from the President of the United States Andrew Jackson, using its origin within the first democratic state to form relations with Siam to symbolise allegiance to the state rather than the monarchy. [/sub]

[sub]In his inaugural speech he would recognize the the immediate repeal of the Interim Constitution and the implementation of the new permanent constitution dubbed “The 1937 Constitution of the Republic of Suwannaphumi”. In addition he would outline the “1937 Formalities Act of the Republic of Suwannaphumi” and the “Suwannapura Metropolitan Act”.[/sub]

[sub]The Formalities Act would outline formal changes, most importantly the changing of the country’s name of Siam, criticized for being an exonym used by foreigners that was never officially adopted but was used in the signing of legal agreements with western states, to Suwannaphumi (OOC: anglicized as Suwannabum) a thai derivative of the Sanskrit word Suvarnabhumi meaning “Land of Gold'' to coincide with the country’s new association with the eye catching golden yellow used by the Thai Nationalist Party, this act also retires the old flag and coat of arms used by the interim government, the new coat of arms reuses the interim symbolism with colors updated to match the new flag. The new flag is described in detail below.[/sub]

[sub]”The national emblem of Suwannaphumi is the Mekong Sunrise in the following form:[/sub]

[list][sub]•A yellow field[/sub]

[sub]•Three white stripes[/sub]

[sub]•A blue bar[/sub]

[sub]•A White Sun with ten white rays with pointed angles[/sub]

[sub]•A blue ring between the white sun and the white rays with pointed angles[/sub][/list]

[sub]The position, angle and ratio of each subparagraph of the previous article are as follows:[/sub]

[list][sub]•The white stripes are 1/13th the width of the yellow field, centred horizontally from a position of 1/3rd the length on the hoist side to the end on the fly side with equal 1/13th width spaces between [/sub]

[sub]•The blue bar occupies 1/3rd the length on the hoist side and the entire width of the flag.[/sub]

[sub]•The width of the blue ring between the white sun and the ten white rays with pointed angles is equivalent to 1/14 of the diameter of the white sun[/sub]

[sub]•The length from the center of the white sun to the top of a white ray with a pointed angle is twice the length of the radius of the white sun.[/sub]

[sub]•The top angle of each ten white rays with a pointed angle is 30 degrees totaling 300 degrees, leaving ten spaces of 6 degrees between each ray totaling 60 degrees., making a combined 360 degrees [/sub][/list]

[sub]The meanings of all symbols and colors represented are as follows[/sub]

[list][sub]•The yellow field represents the land along the Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers, yellow being a historical color associated with fertile or arable land.[/sub]

[sub]•The three white stripes represent the people and the Three Principles of the People that govern them, Nationalism, Democracy and Livelihood as described by revolutionary Sun Yat-Sen.[/sub]

[sub]•The blue bar represents the waters of the Mekong and Chao Phraya rivers as they are the fundamental constants in the prosperity of the region[/sub]

[sub]•The white sun, depicted as a reflection on the water, represents a sunrise or a new age of democracy over the homeland and the structure of the executive government, the central circle represents the president and the prime minister, and the ten white rays with pointed angles represent the ten seats of the cabinet.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]The Metropolitan Act would rename the capital city of Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or Bangkok, once again an exonym used mostly by foreigners with no precedent in Thai vocabulary and not used in legal documentation, to Suwannapura (OCC: anglicized as Suwannapore) meaning “City of Gold'' in Sanskrit as an homage to the new name of the country. The act also outlines the future administration of the city under the Metropolitan Government of Suwannapura, replacing direct centralized administration. [/sub]

[sub]President Chula would invite opposition leader Pridi to assist him in hoisting the Mekong Sunrise on the flagpole of spired roof the Grand Palace’s main gate. This would signal the organisers to begin a large military parade along the main road followed by a civil parade featuring white Indian Elephants the national animal of Suwannaphumi and white oxen the celebrate the year of the ox in accordance with the Republican Thai Calendar starting January 1st as opposed to the Chinese Calendar starting February 11 of this year. A separate event was planned to commemorate the Chinese New Years to reinforce support among the Thai-Chinese population who contributed heavily to President Chula’s cause during the Cousin’s War.[/sub]

[list][B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”What do you mean by this father?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Like the document said, Your elder twin brother Philipp is completely removed from the line of succession to the Finnish throne and the line of succession to the headship of the House of Hesse. Thus you will be the next in line to be the new Head of the House of Hesse, son.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”But why are you doing this, father? Isn’t the deal that Philipp should succeed to the headship of the House and that I succeed to the Finnish throne? It is not that I’m angry to be the new heir to the headship of the House of Hesse, not at all. In fact, I’m happy about this father. However, I’m worried about you removing him and his heirs from the line of succession to the throne because, as you know, my wife is barren, and we cannot have any child.”[/sub] [/list]

[sub]King Väinö I let out a sigh and then tell his son the reason why he did what he did.[/sub]

[list] [B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Well, my son, as you know, your elder twin brother Philipp is a member of Germany’s Volkist Party, a member of the Reichstag, and Governor of Hesse-Nassau.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”Yes I am very well aware of that father.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”According to my sources, it seems that Philipp was involved in a program that killed mass people by involuntary euthanasia.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”Are you kidding me? Is this a joke, father, because this is not funny?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”I'm afraid not my son, Philipp has done that. My other sources tell me that he developed an antisemitism belief and a racial belief that the Aryan people are superior to any other race, including the Finnish people. That is why I did it, he is not only worthy but also will damage the monarchy and our royal house's reputation.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”I agree with you, but the children aren't responsible for the father's sins. So why remove them as well?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”If you have read the document carefully, Wolfgang, you would see I didn’t remove Philipp’s heirs, my grandchildren, from the line of successions.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”you didn’t father?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Why of course, I didn’t, Wolfgang, my son. It said in the document that my son Philipp’s children, both alive and yet to be born, won’t be removed from the line of succession to the Finnish throne and the headship of the House of Hesse. Under the condition that the children living with him, his two sons, would come to Finland to live and grow up here as the royal princes of Finland. They will learn the ways of Finland and her people, and Phillip’s eldest son will be groomed and succeed you to be the Future King of Finland after you die, Wolfgang.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”Are you sure that elder brother will accept this father? Also wouldn’t my nephews have the same beliefs as their father?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Oh, I’m sure that Phillip will accept this if he wants his children to be the future King of Finland and head of the House of Hesse. As for your other concern, Philipp told me in his letter that his eldest son Moritz keeps having trouble at school and is always getting suspended. This leads me to believe that he doesn’t believe in what he is taught there. As for his second son Henrich, I do not know if he shares the same belief as his father. I have already sent the letter to Philip telling him about everything. Hopefully, he will accept my decision and send his sons here to live with us.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”I hope so, to father. Before I go, I wonder what is mother's stance on your decision is and where is she? I haven't seen her for a while.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”As for her stance on my decision, she wasn't pleased, just like any mother would be for her child. As for your mother's location, she left the country a few days ago and headed to the Netherlands to see her brother.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”She going to see Uncle Wilhelm?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Yes exactly. If there isn’t anything else you may leave my son.”[/sub]

[B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”Very well father. I will see you at dinner.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Crown Prince Wolfgang left the room, closing the door behind his father. His Majesty would go back and sit down at his desk and began to think seriously.[/sub]

[list][B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”This decision is for the future of Finland and the monarchy.”[/sub][/list]

XPE-01 REJECTED

______________________________________________

Loke Bao Yi today for the new year presented his first XPE designated weapon a marksman rifle with a experimental automatic function,the way it would work is that it is gonna rely on the users reaction time.This automatic system was designed to be a cheaper automatic function for the marksman rifle the way it would function was that there would be a piece of wood at the bottom for the user to pull to release the empty cartridge out of the gun.The cartridge can hold up to 5 shots and if the design worked it could be a revolutionary weapon in term for the Maziyan military.The blueprint was presented towards the parliament and prime minister for approval of the design however the prime minister told Loke to wait a day for their verdict on the weapon.One day later the XPE-01 design was rejected on the quote that the automatic function would be too costly for a 4 years development plan to perfect the design as what they assume Loke wants for the design to be under the XPE designation and with the fact that the XPE designated weapons development spendings would be halved between the government and the private company with the fact that Maziya is still trying to recover it's economy.Made the design rejected until further notice.

NATIONAL UNITY COMMITTEE FORMED

November, 18th, 1936 — Istanbul, İkinci Türkiye Cumhuriyeti

The sun was setting across the region, and the sun had shone across the streets of the peaceful city of Istanbul, and glistened off the dome of the Hagia Sophia. Although it seemed peaceful to a certain extent, there were eerie tensions around parliament and within select military circles. Backroom backstabbing became a regular occurrence, officers reported one another for their political sympathies, trust was now at a premium. Left leaning elements in both the Assembly and in the military had been meeting in secret rooms and in basements to make plans should a nationalist attack happen against Belli’s regime, as many top national leaders have expressed disapproval for his reforms.

However, as leftist leaders were meeting, so were nationalist leaders. In the backroom of a small dive bar in Istanbul, national leaders such as Ismet Inonu and Major General Refet Bele were present in a meeting regarding the state of the nation as it is. Inonu met on behalf of Ataturk, who was at the time meeting with Belli over the Black Sea Pact and its implications, voicing his disapproval in person. The purpose of the Istanbul meeting was to ensure that the government of the Republic would survive amidst the turmoil of the political landscape of the day, and the group had named itself the vanguard of democracy and republicanism in the new Republic, and the protection of the ideology for which Ataturk’s namesake is derived, Kemalism. Due to this, they named themselves the “National Unity Committee”.

Inonu met largely with generals whom he had worked with during the war for independence, as well as other powerful statesmen and influential leaders from across the country who had aided Turkey’s independence. He made the conclusion that since he had stormed out of the assembly, there would be many who not only sought after his life, but the life of anyone who would associate with him, hence why they met in secret, as voicing their opinions in public may garner backlash from the left. What they were doing now anyhow would be considered treason against Belli’s government, and is the reason why they met as far from the capital as they could, but centrally enough so that a rural meeting would not be so obvious to any Red Militia units in the countryside.

The meeting had lasted nearly three hours as the men delegated, fought, and eventually agreed upon a proposal for the continuity of the Republic should anything further happen with Belli and the Workers Party. As of the moment, individuals were leaving the coalition government daily, as fallouts increase and the political divide widens. The CHP seems to have lost many members, as well as credibility due to its alliance with the WP, however, with some CHP top leaders at the meeting voicing their continued fealty to Ataturk and the republican government. As this gap widens, so does the nation, and as the nation splits further apart, one can only think another war is on the horizon.

[list][list]FEBRUARY 1937

HANSEONG, JOSEON — EAST ASIA[/list]

[list][list]총리 사임

[pre]PRIME MINISTER RESIGNS[/pre][/list][/list]

| After numerous failed attempts by Tokyo to try to get the Prime Minister to desist from attacking terrorists since last year, bringing the peninsula to the brink of chaos. In the many buildings of the Imperial Palace, some of which belong to the Government, the Prime Minister makes his last speech and announces the formalization of his resignation at the request of the Japanese Empire. Since 1932, Choi had envisioned a fascist, authoritarian and above all anti-terrorist Korea, but the citizens did not know that Choi intended to impose chaos on the country, as he was the man who proclaimed himself “Protector of Law and Order”, but that kind of thinking was just a way to gain followers and influence to enforce their policies. To many Korean citizens, Choi will be known as the “Dictator of Darkness” or just “Tyrant” as during his 4 years, Choi’s government was known to increasingly repress citizens in a much worse way than the Japanese and the press was even more censored — given that Choi also allowed the police to kill civilians who went against his ideals. |

| A small ceremony will begin at the Tokyo Imperial Palace for the appointment of the next Prime Minister of Joseon. The politician handpicked by the Japanese government and Emperor Hirohito will be Mr. Miyazaki Masao, 40, already in the rank of captain of the Japanese army and Former Governor-General of Chosen (1930–1932), being a man of moderate politics and pacifist ideals. Miyazaki Masao is a Korean born under the name Lee Jun-ho, he moved to Japan in his youth in mid-1918 and has since become an influential man and contributor to Japan. “I will faithfully serve as the Prime Minister of Joseon on behalf of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Hirohito and Emperor Jeong,” said the newly appointed Prime Minister of Joseon. |

| Prime Minister Lee would now have a big job on his hands to get Korea out of the chaos that Choi has put the peninsula into. Lee will follow Tokyo’s orders, which will be to dismantle the private army and special anti-terrorist police force and leave only the Hanseong Police Department to handle matters that concern the terrorists. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Joseon did not release information about Choi’s private army’s anonymous supplier of money and military equipment. |

VILLA POLYXENA, ROME, ITALY — MORNING

[sub]Within the Villa Polyxena, Prince Philipp was in the living room standing in front of his eldest 10 years old son, Moritz and scolding him.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Whenever I tried to hire the best tutor from the fatherland, you made them quit saying that it was impossible for them to teach you. Why are you doing this to your tutors and me when we try to give you the best education from the fatherland?”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Phillip’s son :[/B] [sub]”Education? Do you mean propaganda that your group of friends trying to teach me, papa?”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”That's enough, Moritz. You are grounded for a week. Now go to your room. I grow tired of this argument we keep having.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]With a sad and angry expression, Moritz left the living and went upstairs to go into his room. After a few minutes, Prince Philipp’s wife, Princess Mafalda of Savoy, who is in her four-month pregnancy, came to her husband to give him a letter.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”My dear, you have received a letter from your father.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”A letter from father? Let me read it, dear.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Prince Philipp then opened up the letter and began to read it. As he read the letter, his facial expression changed from curiosity to anger. Once he reached the certain part of the letter, he gave it to his wife and began to let out his anger.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Damn you, father, damn you! How dare you break the agreement and remove my heirs and me from the line of succession to the Finnish throne and the headship of the House of Hesse. Removing me for my actions and belief in the Fatherland?! Well, damn him.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]As Philipp was letting out his anger, his wife Mafalda read the letter, including the portion that her husband hadn’t read yet. When she finished reading the entire letter, she began to try to talk to Philipp.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”Dear calm down.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Calm down? How can I come down when my father removes my heirs and me from the line of succession, dear? Please tell me why I need to calm down?”[/sub]

[B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”Well, dear, if you have read the entire letter, you would know that your heirs, our children, weren’t removed from the line of succession.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Really? Let me read the rest of that letter.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Prince Philipp spends a few minutes reading the rest of the letter.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Your right dear. It really does say that.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”Yes, but however it’s said in order for our children to stay in the line of succession, they must move to Finland and live there permanently, which made me feel uneasy and unhappy.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Your right it does say that as well.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Philipp and Mafalda spend the few moments in silence. After the moments of silence, Philipp then speaks to his wife, Mafalda.[/sub]

[list][B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Dear, tells Moritz and Heinrich to pack all of their things and belongings and tells them that they are going to live with their grandparents in Finland.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”No dear, please do not send our children away from us.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”I'm sorry dear, but I must. I will never succeed to the House of Hesse's headship and possibly be the heir to the throne of Finland after my father's death. But our children can be what I will never be, and if I need to have them live in Finland for them to one day be the new head of the House of Hesse and King of Finland, then so be it.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”But we might not ever see them again, dear. I can’t possibly bear the thought of never being able to see my dear Moritz and Heinrich ever again.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCE PHILIPP, Oberpräsident:[/B] [sub]”Please do not worry dear. They may not live with us anymore, but that doesn’t mean we won’t ever see our children again. We can always visit them in Finland when we have the time, and you can always write them letters too.”[/sub]

[B]PRINCESS MAFALDA, Philipp’s wife:[/B] [sub]”I suppose you're right dear. I will go and tell the news to the Children.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Princess Mafalda would leave the room and her husband and go upstairs to tell Moritz and Heinrich the news of them moving to Finland to live with their grandparent.[/sub]

[ Battle of Córdoba ]

[ 25th or July, 1936: Córdoba, Spain ]

| The battle of Córdoba hadn’t officially started until the night of the 24th, as all that occurred on the 23rd and for most of the 24th was skirmishing between scouts and the forward advance troops of Colonel Varela. Today was when the official battle for the city of Córdoba began, the early morning hours of the 25th saw a mass artillery barrage from the Nationalist lines. Guns of different makes and calibers opened up on the city with shells raining down upon enemy and civilian alike, houses that stood for hundreds of years being torn asunder by the shells that likely were only made months ago. The barrage was being watched by the entire nationalist force, men waiting to be given the order to rush forward into the city as there was truly nowhere for their enemy to run. Even if few managed to escape they would likely be captured or run to Toledo, which was where the Nationalists were heading after taking Córdoba. Debri and fire lifted smoke up into the sky, making it look like a storm of clouds was forming as houses burned or cars were blown up by the strike of an accurate shell. While it felt and looked like the barrage had lasted for hours, it had only lasted for an hour. The silence was near deafening, after all that destruction it seemed as if they had killed an entire city, which was of course not true but it still seemed that way for many of the nationalist troops staring at the destruction before them. Whistles made their shrill cry from one unit to the next, the men getting up from their positions and rushing forward towards the city. Varela had set up a three pronged assault with the direct assault coming from the south, while the smaller assaults came from the southeast and southwest. The smaller assaults were in place to protect his flanks in case of a counterattack, even though he had men in reserve for such an occasion. When the first nationalist forces entered the city from the south it was 07:00am exactly, and only seconds later the first crack of rifles and chatter of submachine guns could be heard from the city. Varela himself was watching and listening as the fighting for the city’s soul truly commenced, standing outside his command tent not far from his mens positions. After giving a nod of approval he turns and walks back into the tent, alongside his subordinate officers he begins to plan for their next move.

While the commanders of this campaign spoke and coordinated their next plan of action, the men of the first assault from the south had infiltrated into their assigned sector of the city. Breaking off into platoons as they were assigned areas of the sector to take and to control so more waves of men could move through, the resistance was almost nonexistent for them as this had been the area of the city that had met the brunt of the artillery barrage. The men were of the Spanish Legion, many of them being veterans of the Rif War and had seen relative carnage like this before. Varela had hand selected his men when he had been given his orders by Franco almost a week prior, he knew these men would fulfill their duty to the extreme. First resistance came for men of the 3rd Tercio from the 2nd Brigade of the Spanish Legion, the platoon of men had split off from the company to secure their sector that had been assigned to them and came under fire from a couple of windows in a small house, one man being killed and three more wounded. The house was quickly fired upon by the men and two men rushed up to the house, throwing grenades through the windows. After the grenades exploded, the two men were assisted by two more and they breached into the house, all the while the rest of the platoon and squads kept moving forward and breaking off to secure their own objectives. While clearing the house, the four men found they had come under fire from two teenagers that were firing rifles from the windows of their living room, the two teenagers and their mother had been mangled by the grenades, barely looking like human beings anymore. A noise from upstairs alerted them and one man made his way up the steps, moving around the bannister of the steps. He came to an open door and saw a third teenager was in the process of loading a rifle, without hesitation he fired his rifle and sent the heavy round slamming into the chest of the teenager, sending the body dropping to the ground like a bag of rocks. He grimaced momentarily before turning and walking back down the stairs, joining his comrades as they exited the house and kept moving. Resistance became heavier for the 2nd Brigade as they started to come across actual soldiers and policemen, but the comparison of combat experience between the opposing forces was very one sided, with the men of Spanish Legion being mostly veterans, while their opponents were only police officers and young soldiers that did not have their experience. |

[ 25th of July, 1936: Córdoba, Spain. 3 hours after artillery barrage and assault ]

| Casualties were beginning to pile up for the Republican forces that were trying to hold the city at all cost, the fighting was street to street and house to house. Unfortunately the outmatched and outgunned forces of the Republican side of the battle were indeed fighting a losing battle to be sure, a majority of their fortifications had been hit during the bombardment and those that weren’t had been overrun in mere minutes. Emilio Alvarez was the ‘commander’ of the Republican forces within the city, calling himself a commander was an empty title at best. While the man himself had drive and determination to fight for Spain and the 2nd Republic, he himself was a communist by nature and such knowledge had more or less sealed his fate when trying to give orders to troops and other ‘officers’ amongst the defenders of the city. Currently he was manning a barricade alongside other like minded fighters, an Astra Modelo 400 service pistol in his hand. The sounds that were muffled by the buildings could be best described as a city that was dying, gunfire, grenade explosions and the high pitched cry of dying and wounded men. Emilio was not a soldier and had never been a soldier, so seeing these things and hearing these things had heavily tested his resolve since ‘taking command’ of the forces of this city. His train of thought was shattered by a bullet zipping past his head, making him duck to the barricade as bullets burrowed into sandbags or human flesh. A man would drop to the ground beside him, coughing up and spitting out blood as his jaw had been shattered by a rifle round. Emilio would reach out to help him just as a grenade came flying over the sandbags behind him and bounced off his shoulder onto the ground. Right as he was about to yell ‘granada’ the grenade exploded, sending shrapnel flying in all directions. The majority of the damage was done to Emilio himself, parts of his clothing and flesh were burnt from the explosion and a good portion of his face was made unrecognizable from the blast, yet he was still alive. Despite trying to crawl away his attempt at escape was short lived as a bayonet was driven into his back, once, twice, three times the man was stabbed before the soldier realized he was likely dead after the second stab. Rather than contemplating that he had stabbed a man to death, the soldier keeps moving forward up the street alongside his comrades, running beside a man carrying the battle flag of Franco’s army, the white, red and gold banner waving in the air by a flag bearer who carried it with pride. |

[sub]FROM: Pierre Ryckmans, Governor-General of the Belgian State of the Congo

SUBJECT: Approval for Formation of Domestic Military Industry and Coordination with the Dominion of South Africa (Nonador)[/sub][/list][/list][/list]

[pre]

Minister of Defense and Deputy Governor Eugène Jungers,

I have received official notification of approval by the Leopoldville National Assembly to begin coordination and research and development for a domestic defense industry. It is in the greatest of national security interest that this colony be effective and efficient in securing its borders while increasing a professionalized force to secure Belgian interests. Having received final confirmation, we have secured the opportunity to formalize a Ministry of Defense here in Leopoldville in addition to expanding initiatives to grow the Force Publique. Per new inquiries into research and development capabilities, I have determined it to be most effective for the Congo to begin development of small arms ranging from sniper rifles and bolt action/carbine rifles to pistols, grenades, and logistical equipment. As the mining industry remains a lucrative source for the Congo, we may expand these operations toward building a robust, all-encompassing industry but we must be careful as funds are limited and rather restrictive due to intellectual capacity and open access to domestic expertise. The workforce potential is present however, therefore, I am tasking you with the mission of organizing, structuring, and operating the embryonic Ministry of Defense in addition to your Deputy Governor role and oversight of Rwanda-Burundi.

However, there is good news. After conversations with the Dominion of South Africa, terms and agreements have been agreed upon that includes the formation of joint partnerships that will assist the Congo in developing our domestic defense industrial and innovative research capabilities. Additionally, South Africa has agreed to begin consistent military training exercises with the Force Publique while military training with Rhodesia will continue. Part of your new role is to collaborate with both Rhodesia and South Africa regarding military structuring, doctrines, and posturing that will allow for the Congo to establish a system that is unique yet works effectively toward addressing and resolving the security threats of the Congo. Moreover, we must further militarily understand our geographic, terrain, and climate in order to steer our defense policy that will dictate and determine research and development, preferred projects, and the growth of a successful defense apparatus.

This is top priority.

God Bless.

Very Respectfully,

[/pre]

THE ITALIAN PLAN: THE SLOW PROCESS

The war was over. Over 200,000 Italian men were lost. The entirety of the horn of Africa had finally fallen under the mantle of Rome. Parades would be held in Addis Adaba as settlers would be invited to come. However, the Italians deeply knew that there was not much to celebrate. Not only was there a large number of lives lost, but there were still many issues to be fixed, and on top of that, the war was not truly over...they had only taken Addis Adaba and forced the Emperor to flee. There was mass unrest still, even in Somalia and Eritrea, due to the brutality of the bombings and the use of chemicals. However, the colonies were united into Italian East Africa at last. The Italian generals would announce the abolition of slavery, and all slaves to be freed of their labor and masters at the parade, so they were met with applause and cheering. Revenge at last for the defeat handed by Menelik...Glory to Il Duce of Virnall.

The first duty at hand was to chase down the remnants of the Ethiopian army and find a figure to lead the reconciliation process within the country. Even though a victory was declared, around a quarter of Ethiopia was still occupied by the rebels or Arbegnoch. However, the efforts were calmed down in order to reserve manpower, since they had only taken rural areas, but any infrastructure projects would be closely guarded. A lot less rebuilding was done than expected because the bombings were inaccurate due to the strategy of bombing from extremely high altitudes. The chemical effects had mostly worn off anyway, so rural rebuilding was mostly done by locals, but major railways were to be expedited by Italian workers.

Rodolfo Graziani would be tasked with heading the colony. However, he would be notorious for his brutal ways of handling resistance and any dissent in general to the fascist regime. However, he was still intent on connecting the colony together and building a united Italian-influenced ethos in the African Horn. First, the Amhara and Ethiopian Orthodox influence had to be removed. The provinces would be redrawn so the extra territory was given to the original Italian colonies, Tigray regions were given to Eritrea and the Ogaden to the Somalian province. Most reconstruction efforts would benefit Muslims, and Amhara's pleas were purposefully ignored. The incentive for Italians themselves to settle in Ethiopia was very low due to resistance, so efforts to encourage settlement were minimal, but in order to turn a profit, small farms would be set up throughout, and Italian advisors and inspectors would be sent throughout Ethiopia. The goal was to switch the agricultural model from subsistence farming to agro-industrial farming, so profit and exports would be possible. After all, a lot of money was spent conquering this country, so a lot of money had to be spent on its budget. The orders for these ministers and inspectors were to be as approachable and calm as possible, so taxes could be collected. Farming equipment shipments would also be bought within the budget, in order to further maximize efficiency. Another goal was to be able to turn Ethiopia into a manufacturing hub, especially textiles, for the Italians back home.

The earlier plan for railways initiated by the former Emperor would be resumed, but expanded upon as well. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Italian_communications_in_Ethiopia%2C_April_1941.jpg/500px-Italian_communications_in_Ethiopia%2C_April_1941.jpg) is the map. Over 900 km of railroads were to be built in order to connect the rural country, to truly bring the best out of it. Dams and hydroelectric plants were built, and many public and private companies were established in the underdeveloped country. The most important were: "Compagnie per il cotone d'Etiopia" (Cotton industry); "Cementerie d'Etiopia" (Cement industry); "Compagnia etiopica mineraria" (Minerals industry); "Imprese elettriche d'Etiopia" (Electricity industry); "Compagnia etiopica degli esplosivi" (Armament industry); "Trasporti automobilistici (Citao)" (Mechanic & Transport industry). The point of this was to further diversify the mostly agricultural colony, and further exploit its other resources, like its immense hydropower potential, its gold reserves, and to build on its arms industry.

Airports were another concern for the colony, due to their distance from Rome. The Linea dell Impero, a flight connecting Addis Ababa to Rome, would be started, by connecting with Cairo along the way, to Libya, then to Rome. Later expansions are planned for Mogadishu, Asmara, and Dire Dawa. The only major railway in Ethiopia at the moment was the Djbouti-Addis Adaba one, but that would also be expanded upon. Right now, steam trains take 36 hours to complete the trip. However, Fiat ALn56 trains are expected to be installed, decreasing the span to 18 hours, going at 70 km/h. Bus connections would be provided at train stations, and a special fire unit would be created as well, the only one in all of Africa.

Finally, to further Rome's influence, major expansions of Ethiopian cities would be planned. In Addis Adaba, fascist Italian and European architecture installments would be planned throughout, from housing to banks, to government buildings. In Harar, Dire Dawa, and Jijjiga, shopping centers, marketplaces, and industrial centers were to be constructed, in order to attract further foreign investment and to facilitate exchange with the English in British Somaliland. Overall, the plans seem to be well cooperated with due to the drastic feudal reign of Haile Selassie.

The New Delhi Tribune/नई दिल्ली ट्रिब्यून [sub]February 1937[/sub]

[sub]Volume 13, Issue 1 /खंड 13, अंक 1 [/sub]

[sup]Indian National Congress Wins Indian Provincial Elections, All India Muslim League Fails To Establish Government!!?[/sup]

[sup]Provisional elections were held in British India in the winter of 1936-1937 with the results finally being announced today with breaking news rocking the political spotlight. As mandated by the Government of India Act 1935. Elections were held in eleven provinces - Madras, Central Provinces, Bihar, Orissa, United Provinces, Bombay Presidency, Assam, NWFP, Bengal, Punjab and Sindh. The final results of the elections were declared that the Indian National Congress emerged in power in eight of the provinces - the exceptions being Punjab and Sindh. The All-India Muslim League failing to form the government in any province.[/sup]

[sup]The Government of India Act 1935/ Legislative council 1935 increased the number of enfranchised people. Approximately 30 million people, among them some women, gained voting rights. This number constituted one-sixth of Indian adults. The Act provided for a limited adult franchise based on property qualifications such as land ownership and rent, and therefore favored landholders and richer farmers in rural areas.[/sup]

[sup]At its 1936 session held in the city of Lucknow, the Congress party, despite opposition from the newly elected Nehru as the party president, agreed to contest the provincial elections to be held in 1937. The released Congress leaders anticipated the restoration of elections. They now had a stronger standing with their reputation enhanced by the civil disobedience movement under Gandhi's leadership. Through the elections the Congress sought to convert its popular movement into a political organization. The Congress won 758 out of around 1500 seats in a resounding victory, and went on to form seven provincial governments. The Congress formed governments in United provinces, Bihar, the Central Provinces, Bombay and Madras.[/sup]

[sup]The party's election platform had downplayed communalism and Nehru continued this attitude with the initiation of the March 1937 Muslim mass contact program. But the elections demonstrated that of the 482 Muslim seats the Congress had contested just 58 of them and won only 26 of those. In spite of this poor showing the Congress persisted in its claim that the party was representative of all communities. The Congress ministries did not succeed in attracting their Muslim countrymen. This was largely unintentional.[/sup]

[sup]The 1937 elections demonstrated that neither the Muslim League nor the Congress represented Muslims. It also demonstrated the provincial moorings of Muslim politics. The Muslim League captured around 25 percent of the seats reserved for Muslims. The Congress Muslims achieved 6 percent of them. Most of the Muslim seats were won by regional Muslim parties. No Congress Muslim won in Sindh, Punjab, Bengal, Orissa, United Provinces, Central Provinces, Bombay and Assam. Most of the 26 seats the Congress captured were in NWFP, Madras and Bihar.[/sup]

[sup]In Madras, the Congress won 74% of all seats, eclipsing the incumbent Justice Party (21 seats). The Sind Legislative Assembly had 60 members. In Sindh, The Sind United Party emerged the leader with 22 seats, and the Congress secured 8 seats. Mohammad Ali Jinnah had tried to set up a League Parliamentary Board in Sindh in 1936, but he failed, though 72% of the population was Muslim. Though 34 seats were reserved for Muslims, the Muslim League could secure none of them. In United Provinces, The UP legislature consisted of a Legislative Council of 52 elected and 6 or 8 nominated members and a Legislative Assembly of 228 elected members: some from exclusive Muslim constituencies, some from "General" constituencies, and some "Special" constituencies. The Congress won a clear majority in the United Provinces, with 133 seats, while the Muslim League won only 27 out of the 64 seats reserved for Muslims.[/sup]

[sup]The Congress refused the League's offer in the UP to form a coalition. The party offered the Muslim League a role in government if it merged itself into the Congress Party. While this position had a good basis it proved to be a mistake. The Congress disregarded that even though they had captured the large part of UP's general seats, they had not won any of the reserved Muslim seats, of which the Muslim League had won 29.[/sup]

[sup]In Assam, In Assam, the Congress won 33 seats out of a total of 108 making it the single largest party, though it was not in a position to form a ministry. The Governor called upon Sir Muhammad Sadulla, ex-Judicial Member of Assam and Leader of the Assam Valley Muslim Party to form the ministry. The Congress was a part of the ruling coalition.[/sup]

[sup]In Bombay, the Congress fell just short of gaining half the seats. However, it was able to draw on the support of some small pro-Congress groups to form a working majority. B.G. Kher became the first Chief Minister of Bombay.[/sup]

[sup]In Punjab, after result Unionist Party under the leadership of Sikandar Hayat Khan formed the Government. Khalsa National Board and Hindu Election Board also gave their support to Unionist Party.[/sup]

[sup]In three additional provinces, Central Provinces, Bihar, and Orissa, the Congress won clear majorities. In the overwhelmingly Muslim North-West Frontier Province, Congress won 19 out of 50 seats and was able, with minor party support, to form a ministry.[/sup]

[sup]In Bengal, though the Congress was the single largest party (with 54 seats), it was unable to form government. The Krishak Praja Party of A. K. Fazlul Huq (with 36 seats) was able to form a coalition government with support of the Muslim League. In 1941, when the Muslim League took back its support from KPP, the Congress & Hindu Mahasabha formed coalition with Haq.[/sup]

[sup]Dear Sir. Bernard H. Bourdillion, I am writing to you once again concerning complaints from the Fyffes Company. These few weeks the company has been breathing down my neck to request additional funding for critical infrastructure needs in the British Kameroon. As you know, this region is lacking in public infrastructure, we've only have a few proper roads and the constant rains here make the dirt roads extremely difficult to traverse. As you know Fyffers has a great investment in Kameroon, the land here is very suitable for the harvest of bananas. A very lucrative business indeed, but the lack of proper roads and electricity is making operations very difficult here. Fyffes can't make its money if the banana caravans keep getting stuck in the mud. Speaking that, the local police force has been noticing an uptick in banditry in the northern areas, some weeks ago a banana caravan was stolen by bow-wielding pygmies. This usually is dealt with but I need more officers to properly build up a proper garrison force here. The current police force isn't enough to keep the rural population in check. I hope good health finds you and your family, send my regards to the wife as always.[/sup]

PLANS FOR THE CHINESE MINORS

______________________________________________

For a while this has been a issue in which the minor Chinese population which only makes up 7% of Maziya overall population has been severely discriminated against or have had hate directed towards them as the majority Maziyan and Sarawakian population believe that the Chinese are stealing away all the high paying jobs.Which to a certain extent is true,with the fear that the Chinese minority would create a group to overthrow the Maziyan government due to the fact that the present Maziyan government in the public's point of view is mostly biased towards the Maziyan and Sarawakian population.Plans were made to incorporate the Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year as a holiday within Maziya to give something towards the Chinese population and as a way to show the Chinese that the government does in fact have the Chinese in mind.The Lunar New Year holiday is planned to start in 1938 with the holiday lasting 2 weeks,and it will be a national holiday not just a specific region holiday.

[list]Chinese New Year - 11 February 1937

[sub]A wholly red earth[/sub][/list]

Yaowarat Road, Samphanthawong District, Suwannapura

[sub] The bustling streets of Samphanthawong District, for now the world’s largest Chinatown and home to the largest population of the overseas-Chinese community would be more crowded than usual as thousands of Thai-Chinese citizens dressed in traditional red clothing from across the nation would flood the famous Yaorwarat Road for the final day Wan tieow of the three day Wan Trut Chin or Chinese New Year Celebration. While New Years Day itself is usually not as lively due to heavy celebration on New Years Eve night, this year would be different as their incumbent leader was slated to make an appearance. [/sub]

[sub]As the sun rose over of Samphanthawong, Suwannapbumi golden boy President Chula Chakrabongse respectfully referred to by chinese speakers as 丘拉日出/Qiū lā Rì chū or Quila Richu derived from his given name Chula meaning “little” and Rì chū meaning “sunrise”, would fulfil his promise made during his coronation by becoming the first leader to visit the district since its creation by his great-great-great grandfather Rama I, he would walk the streets from sunrise to noon in the company of his cousin and personal friend Birabongse Bhanudej. They would travel with a limited detail as to not heavily disturb still ongoing festivities, visiting famous sites in the sprawling Chinatown such as the the world renowned street vendors of Sampheng neighbourhood and interacting with the populace who appeared in spades to congratulate him on his electoral victory. [/sub]

[sub]To mark the end of his visit, between the Lion and Dragon dances on Yaorwarat Road, President Chula and his entourage would ascend a white elephant float, joining the parade. The loud drums would stop, giving him time to speak. In between cheers and waving of a mix of the “Mekong Sunrise” the national flag of Republic of Suwannaphumi and the “Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth” the national flag the Republic of China, he would thank the Thai-Chinese community for their long standing support, as they had backed his military campaign against the forces of his uncle General Boworadej in service of the corrupt nobility’s Supreme Council under his extended family and the increasingly sinophobic constitutionalist regime of then Prime Minister Manopakorn Nitithada’s People's Committee of Siam and his forces under General Phot Phahonyothin. President Chula’s nationalist movement which promised to undo the policies of the ruling class at the time employed many Thai-Chinese spies during the early days of his exile and would see the ranks of his army bolstered by them during his march on Bangkok. His movement would become heavily influenced by the revolutionaries of the Chinese Kuomintang which lead to the banning of the San Min Chu-i The Three Principles book by Dr Sun Yat-Sen which the People’s Committee labelled as communist and subversive which only lead to greater support by unassimilated Chinese immigrants and the breakaway of leftist and republican leaning Pridi Banomyong front the People’s Committee.[/sub]

[sub]The highlight of his appearance would follow his thanks to the Chinese people and the Oversea-Chinese Bank for their financial support for his cause. As the wealthiest ethnic minority in the country, the donation and loan of funds from the Chinese diaspora and their mainstay bank that represents them contributed heavily to President Chula’s success both during his military and presidential campaign. As a final gesture to their good-will towards his endeavours he would announce the cooperation between the central government and the Oversea-Chinese Bank to buy dozens of plots of land and prime real estate from landowners after the implementation of the Land Value Tax in metropolitan Suwannapura, which by using a flat tax on land, while cutting taxes in other fields, would discourage land owners from holding unto unused property to benefit from appreciation causing them to either convert these sites to more intensive private uses or into public purposes to sell in mass or sell them. A portion of the former royal treasuring and currency seized from the royal family and enemies of the state during the civil war would be allocated to the purchase of these sites in the Samphanthawong district to be developed and sold to members of the local community willing to become new land owners, hopefully building a class of land owners and landlords that prioritise the productivity and benefit of the community. He would emphasise that this program would be the first of many as the tax is implemented across the city of Suwannapura and Suwannaphumi as a whole as not to alienate his other supporter bases. In closing he would reveal that this program would also fund public housing in the district to facilitate the increased number of Chinese refugees fleeing the chaos of the Japanese invasion of the Republic of China, calling for a moment of silence for the lives lost and the families scattered by the conflict.

| The march of the black boots echoed through the parade grounds at Brandenburg Gate as German crowds cheered. The elite members of the German Heer (Army)'s 6th Army marched through the thoroughfare of Berlin before a large platform upon which the highest and most prominent figures of Germany's government were positioned. Chancellor Adolph Heidler, the Ministers of his Cabinet, as well as top members of Germany's leadership. Perhaps a sign of the centralization of power in the few in Heidler's executive branch, no prominent members of the Reichstag were present, including the Speaker, who was a member of Heidler's own DVP. The parade was one of many held by the DVP and the German Government throughout the years to consolidate support for the Volkists and wipe out the opposition. It was unofficially dubbed the "One Crimson Flag" program, a name originating from a statement by the Minister of the Interior in 1934 where he declared his intention to 'with the help of my Party comrades unite Germany under one crimson flag'. Of the effort to unite Germany under one singular party, a senior professor at Munich University stated: |

[list][list][pre]Die Bemühungen der DVP, den [deutschen] Staat zu vereinen, waren weitgehend erfolgreich, zur Überraschung vieler hierzulande, die der rechten militaristischen Partei einst skeptisch gegenüberstanden und von ihrem Erdrutschsieg bei der Bundestagswahl 1934 verblüfft waren. Durch die Macht der Propaganda, der Reden und einer Methode der psychologischen Kontrolle, die, um es offen zu sagen, erschreckend ist. Die Sorglosigkeit, mit der die Bürger Deutschlands der neuen Regierung folgen, lässt nichts Gutes für die Zukunft der Demokratie und der Freiheiten des deutschen Volkes erwarten.[/pre]

[pre]The efforts by the DVP to unite the [German] Staat have been largely successful, to the surprise of many here who were once skeptical of the right-wing militarist party and were stunned by its landslide victory in the 1934 federal election. Through the power of propaganda, speeches and a method of psychological control that, to be frank, is horrifying. The mindlessness with which the citizens of Germany follow the new Government does not bode well for the future of the country's democracy and the freedoms of the German people.[/pre][/list][/list]

| These efforts to unite the country through a mass public campaign is not only effective at building up support for the DVP government, but also helped to bolster Germany's public face abroad. Through footage and images of massive columns of German Army soldiers, marching with identical uniforms and helmets to a singular, unified step presented to the world a new Germany, one that would not surrender to its enemies nor allow itself to be trampled by the Allies, whose power and light has diminished in the light of an extended Great Depression and a lack of public support for the formation of a strong, capable military yet again to combat a possible threat from Berlin. |

Establishing Estado Novo as a Revived New Force in International Relations Amid Correspondence Between Vargas and Salazar

Estabelecendo o Estado Novo como uma nova força nas relações internacionais em meio à correspondência entre Vargas e Salaza

Viva o Estado Novo!

[sub]Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Prime Minister of Portugal and President of União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas | LISBON, 1937[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Deus abençoe o novo estado |[/sub]

The sounds of subtle waves of peace from the Atlantic Ocean crashing upon the shores of Lisbon is often the serene environment of the capital of Estado Novo. The ushering in of Catholic traditionalism by the National Union coalition has prompted a new sense of identity for the fledgling Portuguese Empire. Enriched by Catholic churches, vibrant history, and preserved architecture resembling Portuguese antiquity, Antonio de Oliveira Salazar implanted a new social consciousness into Portugal that was not actually new but rather a new attempt to call to the past glory of Portugal as a great, legitimate nation. Having served as Minister of the Economy prior to obtaining the Prime Ministership, Antonio Salazar viewed the possibilities of Portugal not just by numbers but more importantly, through the public choice theory that contributes to economic and political activity. Having been Prime Minister for five years now, Salazar could no longer just be quiet and allow for the empire to sit on the sideline and allow for its possessions and Lisbon to be forgotten by history and humanity. To achieve this however, Salazar had to look across the Ocean to its little brother for the consolidation of a Union-State that will prompt not only a boosted confidence but a further access to resources and potential that will solidify Portugal as a major maritime and civilized nation.

Since the rise of Getúlio Dornelles Vargas in Brazil and his notion of Estado Novo, Antonio Salazar's vision of an expanded political entity based upon Estado Novo principles could become a reality. Between 1934-1936, a series of Estado Novo summits would occur between Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro for the construction of a Union-State structure that would uphold traditionalist principles, construct a Portuguese corridor, and preserve the Portuguese legacy as a bastion of conservatism, Catholicism, and heritage. 1936 would be a year of compromise and collaboration between Vargas and Salazar, both in private and public, to demonstrate a growing unified appeal to a Greater Estado Novo that would encompass the Portuguese World. The culmination of 8 months of negotiations and drafting of proposals prompted the initial establishment of a unified government of dual responsibilities, which means that the elected Head of State/Head of Government of either nation becomes the President and Vice-President of what has been coined the União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas in an interchangeable fashion. Moreover, per agreements between Vargas and Salazar, Antonio Salazar would be the inaugural "Presidente da União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas" and Prime Minister of Portugal while Getúlio Dornelles Vargas would serve as "Vice-presidente da União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas" and President of Brazil.

To maintain the notions of traditionalism and through extensive, often heated debating and disagreements, the notion of an elected monarchical figure to serve as a ceremonial figure of the Estado Novo and União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas was approved with António Óscar de Fragoso Carmona BTO ComC GCA ComSE, the current President of Portugal, becoming the new "Rei da União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas". Relinquishing the title of President of Portugal for this newly established "Office of Higher Calling" (Escritório de Chamado Superior), António Carmona appointed Francisco Craveiro Lopes to the position of President with the approval of Antonio Salazar.

1937. The officiation of the União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas attracted major crowds in Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon as portraits of Salazar, Vargas, and Carmona blew life and hope into the peoples of the Portuguese World. In Mozambique and Angola, Portuguese colonialists prompted great admiration for this movement as Lisbon has reinforced its position in the Southern Atlantic in an eternal partnership with the Brazilians to establish a New State that's the 5th largest nation in the world by square miles. Concurrently, both Salazar and Vargas on January 1937 would utilize their popularities to apply pressure upon the judicial system to declare January 1937 a "restart" of their current regimes to align election cycles so uniformity of the electorate can be in sync for the proper structuring of an enlarged Estado Novo bureaucracy that spans the Southern Atlantic, Oceania, Africa, Macau, and South Asia.

From Lisbon, Antonio Salazar, recently reinaugurated as Prime Minister of Portugal and now Presidente da União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas would give a speech, where he would state the following:

[list][list][pre]Estado Novo is action and it is thought; action in which doctrine is immanent, and doctrine arising from a given system of historical forces in which it is inserted, and working on them from within. It has therefore a form correlated to contingencies of time and space; but it has also an ideal content which makes it an expression of truth in the higher region of the history of thought. The Estado Novo conception of life is a religious one, in which man is viewed in his immanent relation to a higher law, endowed with an objective will transcending the individual and raising him to conscious membership of a spiritual society. As Portuguese and as a newly rekindled, vivacious family of brotherhood and sisterhood, through the good graces of God and by rational thinking, the Estado Novo shall be a lesson and case study of inspiration to any and all that seek political action and mobilization for justice, for conservatism, for humility, and for the Creator that has blessed us with life and free will.[/pre][/list][/list]

Upon this declaration, União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas have been ordered for construction in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro for enhanced communication and coordination for policy across the Estado Novo World.

BRITISH FORCS IN AFRICA / BFA

March 1937

The British Forces in Africa, also known as the African Command consists of all British Military units directly controlled by the British high Command in Africa. This Force does not include many of the smaller colonial units such as the Sudanese Defense Forces, however in times of war will absorb them into the greater BFA Command structure. Responsible for the defense of British Colonies and naval Trade across the Continent it stands as one of the largest British Commands in pure numbers (second only to the Indian Command) however compared to the land it has been charged to defend still requires large scale increments in capabilities in order to efficiently and confidently face dangers across all fronts. Its Naval Force being larger than any homeborn African Navy, it possesses more than enough firepower to defend the British Trade links in the current year, however if possible hostilities arise will require further reinforcement.

TURKISH INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ADVANCES

December, 1936 — İkinci Türkiye Cumhuriyeti

In the last year since the reconstruction reforms were implemented, Turkish industry is more well off than it ever has been. Within the region of Izmir and Edirne, as well as other provinces such as Trabzon and Konya, coming under heavy industrialization. Factories concerning the building of civilian material, such as electronics, building materials and motors, and military equipment such as light tanks and infantry equipment as well, with many coastal foundries and dockyards being established by the SFTA Group.

This recently formed company, the SFTA Group conglomerate, founded by businessmen Sezai Türkeş and Feyzi Akkaya, have contracted with the government on a five year plan to head the project and have taken over from smaller, subsidiary contractors, as the conglomerate emerges as the premier, up and coming, privately owned and operated contracting company in the nation. Mehmet Sabit Sağıroğlu, chief executive officer of the Ziraat Bankası in Istanbul recently came out and had approved of a grant that would allocate state funds to continue said construction projects throughout the nation.

A LIFE IN MIDDLE EUROPA as an ASHKENAZI JEW

[sub]SETTLED IN New Provenance & Zabrowka — EVENING[/sub]

| ARNOLD SCHOENBERG, a Jewish composer of Austrian birth — a symphony composer and painter, who’s very work changed the nature of Europa’s music scene. From Vienna to Berlin, SCHOENBERG had abandoned tonality, the system of notes that had sustained western music for 500 years. SCHOENBERG counted many non-Jewish thinkers and artists among his friends; among them, VASILY KANDISNKY, who was also ripping up the rulebook with his abstract art. |

[list][pre]Like FELIX MENDELSSOHN, SCHOENBERG had converted Christianity hoping it would immunize him from the growing virus of anti-semitism in Germany — it didn’t.[/pre][/list]

| Even the friendship between modernist kameraden could be tainted. In 1923, SCHOENBERG had discovered that KANDINSKY was “sounding off” about the so-called “threats” from the Judenintelligentsia. It was a growing trend in middle Europa, to blame the problems of society on minorities that long had been called neighbors, friends and allies. KANDINSKY hasten to assure Schoenberg he didn't mean him. “Goodness, no.” SCHOENBERG would be an exception, of course, to his sound-offs. SCHOENBERG replied however; |

[list]| ARNOLD SCOENBERG, [sub]Composer[/sub] | “. . . . I do not want to be an exception . . .”[/list]

| Proceeding to draft a passionate letter to KANDISNKY in the summer of 1923. |

[ . . . ] The events of the past year have

forced on me a lesson and it's one I will

never forget. I am no German. I am no

European — [Ja vielleicht kaum ein Mensch bin]

SYNAGOGUE ON THE RUE COPERNIC,

[sub]PARIS, Metropolitan Francais — EVENING[/sub]

[sub]TEN YEARS LATER.[/sub]

| When the new regime came into power, they happened to tragically agree with SCHOENBERG. Forcing him out of his tenured chair position at the Berliner Musikhochschule (Berlin Music Academy). Germany and thus Middle Europa was over for SCHOENBERG . . . he left for America via Paris — and stepped toward another light. |

| SCHOENBERG had a ticket waiting for him, an ocean liner to New York by way of Cherbourg. With his fedora and overcoat over an arm, he entered and stood before the ark of the Synagogue on the Rue Copernic in Paris. He was silent . . . the splendor of the space and the Ark before him, housing the Sefer Torahs; scrolls containing the first Five Books of Moses and passed, L’dor Vador, from Generation to Generation for over 4,000 years. Seeking formal readmission to the community of Jews and Judaism, the era could not have been more signifiant. |

| For more than a decade, SCHOENBERG had been predicting if the far-right, with its nationalistic and so-called nativist fervor, its anti-globalism and sheer anti-enlightment principles had ever come into power, it would end not only that great and noble experiment of cultural modernism, but too, a casualty may be the entirety of Europa’s Jewry — from having to climb out of the pre-enlightment darkness that engulfed European Jewry for more than a millennia, progress since the 18th century, since the embarkation of enlightenment, finally reaching Russia in 1917 with the rise of Bolshevism and its creed to forgo anti-Semitism long held by Czarist Russia. |

[list][pre]That great dream of Jewish thinkers, of enlightenment walkers, had been passing time like a rushing tide, ebbing and flowing — was it all a delusion? Could the humanity of the enlightenment be swept up in the inhumanity of an incineration?[/pre][/list]

| SCHOENBERG knew what could start words could very well end with terrifying violence. He was in the middle of an unfinished opera before making Exodus from Berlin, MOSHE UND AARON, Moses and Aaron, the title . . . But as he stood in silence, the co-existence between people could never be secure without what all other peoples had. |

[list][pre]Scoenberg, restyling from Schönberg to fit what he’d call “deference to American practice”, accepted teaching positions at the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of California, Los Angles (UCLA) where he’d become a tenured professor. He befriended George Gershwin and partake conducting with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra — as the decade progressed, he would often be an ardent critic of the new regime that threatened to engulf the rest of Europe.[/pre][/list]

MINISTRY OF THE COLONIES: MOROCCAN DROUGHT PUTS STARVING TUAREGS IN DESPERATION AS FRENCH GOVERNMENT ACTS

[sub]3RD REPUBLIC | PARIS, APRIL 1937 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF L’EMPIRE, MINISTÈRE DES COLONIES, TROISIÈME RÉPUBLIQUE - | The baggy-eyed, white-bearded Theodore Steeg, a Senator and onetime Premier of France from 1930 to 1931, sailed last week from Marseille to the French Protectorate of Morocco. With him went a detachment of doctors, hygiene experts, officials from the Finance Ministry, and officers of the General Staff, on a pressing mission.[/sub]

[sub]Not only as a politician but as a career colonial administrator did Theodore Steeg make his reputation. After serving as Minister of the Interior, to whom all French police are responsible, from 1912 through the War until 1920, he served as Governor-General of Algeria for four years, then was given the difficult task of succeeding France's late great colonial administrator, bristle-topped Marshal Louis Hubert Lyautey, as Resident General of Morocco. He did well enough in the four years he held the post to win him the task he was faced with last week, the most serious crisis French Morocco has seen since the time of Abd-el-Krim.[/sub]

[sub]Over the jagged rim of the Atlas Mountains, which cut diagonally across the bulge of northwestern Africa, live the Tuaregs, the fiercest of North African tribesmen. Known as the Blue Men, the Tuaregs swath their bodies in robes of cheap indigo-dyed cotton that dyes their skins a permanent blue color. In 1934 the might of French arms finally calmed the Tuaregs. They laid down their weapons, agreed to settle in small oases on the fringe of the desert and raise sheep and goats.[/sub]

[sub]The world hailed this as a great triumph of French civilization. The Tuaregs settled down, but for two years practically no rain has fell. This winter the rain failed again. The goats and cattle died, the wells dried up while the date palms withered. The 240,000 Blue People were starving to death and with them 1,300,000 neighboring Berbers. As many as 200,000 have reportedly died. Folding their tents, loading their mangy camels, 1,000,000 of them started a grim, slow march north toward the Atlas and the more fertile lands beyond.[/sub]

[sub]Over the mountains there is no room for 1,000,000 tribesmen. French settlers and more sedentary tribes have long preempted all the available cork forests, vineyards, and barley fields. Suddenly aware of the danger, the Government last week sent Administrator Steeg and his party to the scene of the hunger march, and voted $3,250,000 relief money to match $750,000 which the Banque d'Etat de Maroc has already put up to buy food for the starving tribes. Distribution of free barley and mutton has already started.[/sub]

[sub]The Government talked loudly of a great program of well-drilling and reservoir-building south of the Atlas. However, the Tuaregs have little interest in reservoirs for the future, they want food now, and France cannot let them cross the mountains. Fascist propaganda, though not yet as serious in Morocco as in Tunisia, is a deep worry to French Moroccan officials. Shrewd diplomacy on the part of General Charles Nogues, present Resident General of Morocco, has reduced a nationalist Arab league known as the Jeunes Marocains to comparative impotence, but should the Tuaregs go over the passes, they might easily kindle a major rebellion. Last week every French army post along the southern slope of the Atlas was doubly reinforced with new troops totaling 180,000 in the French Protectorate.[/sub]

[sub]The French Government hopes to stop the marching Tuaregs from crossing over the passes by positioning troops there with food, water and other supplies the Tuaregs desperately need to survive. A second relief fund was passed last week as well totaling another $4,000,000 to purchase more food, and drill the wells needed to supply the Tuaregs with much needed water. | [/sub]

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT FAILED

February 7th, 1937

During a recent speech over national unity and the state of the country as a whole, President Ataturk was shot by a strange man in the grand national assembly, who has not yet been identified. It was reported that the perpetrator was posing as a representative’s aid, and had hid his gun underneath his jacket in a holster. As soon as the aid had pulled the gun and aimed at the president, the representative shoved the aid and tried to throw him off balance, putting the aim of the aid from the president’s head, to his left shoulder. As soon as the shot was fired and the president dropped, the president’s guards rushed to his side, and other assembly members on the floor rushed the assassin. The president was thereafter immediately hurried to the hospital nearest the assembly hall, where the bullet was promptly removed.

Inonu had met with press outside the hospital and was quoted to have said, “The resolve of the president and his vigor of life are testament to the fight that we take up arms in every single day. The fact that this left wing radical had managed to squirm his way into our temple of democracy shows that these snakes are amongst us, and in great number. Who knows, it could be your neighbor, or it could be your family. What matters is that we dare not go quietly into the jaws of death without a fight.”

[list][list][sub]NEUWERK PLAN ZUM SCHUTZ DEUTSCHER DIREKTER ODER INDIREKTER INTERESSEN AUF DEM KONTINENT VOM KABINETT PARAPHIERT[/sub]

[pre]NEUWERK PLAN FOR PROTECTING GERMAN DIRECT OR INDIRECT INTERESTS ON THE CONTINENT INITIALIZED BY THE CABINET[/pre][/list][/list]

| Vice Chancellor Franz Joseph von Neuwerk had brought the Turkish issue before the Cabinet on 14 February 1937. In the weeks preceding the Cabinet meeting, per order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the German Government had been monitoring the situation in Turkey between the government of Ataturk and Inonu and the left-wing forces in the country who were inching ever closer to toppling the Turkish president and installing a pro-Soviet puppet regime. Vice Chancellor Neuwerk's presentation of the Turkish issue before the Cabinet brought the issue - and other 'strategic loopholes' on the European continent - to light before the uppermost echelons of the German Government. It was this meeting on 14 February - Valentines 1937 - when Chancellor Heidler authorized the initialization of the Neuwerk Plan. Describing the plan, Vice Chancellor von Neuwerk said: |

[list][list][pre]Der Neuwark-Plan ist ein einfacher Plan, der im Wesentlichen darauf abzielt, deutsche direkte oder indirekte Interessen auf dem europäischen Kontinent durch andere Methoden als den Einsatz von Freiwilligendivisionen zu schützen, wie z.B. durch Waffenlieferungen und die Entsendung wertvoller Militärberater der Bundeswehr. Die Bedrohungen auf dem weiteren Kontinent nehmen weiter zu, nicht nur durch das zunehmende Misstrauen der französischen Regierung, die Partnerschaft und Aufrüstung Griechenlands mit den Franzosen und jetzt die Situation in der Türkei, wo kommunistische Revolutionäre den Sturz der amtierenden Regierung beabsichtigen. Deutschland wird sich bemühen, seine Interessen und seine Bevölkerung, insbesondere im Sudetenland, mit militärischen und möglicherweise finanziellen und diplomatischen Mitteln zu schützen.[/pre]

[pre]The Neuwark Plan is a simple one that intends to, essentially, protect German direct or indirect interests on the European Continent through methods other than the deployment of volunteer divisions, such as arms supplying and the dispatching of valuable German Army military advisors. Threats on the wider Continent continue to grow in magnitude not only limited to the increasing suspicion by the French Government, the partnering up of and the rearming of Greece with the French, and now the Turkish situation where communist revolutionaries intend to overthrow the incumbent government. Through means involving military and possibly financial and diplomatic support, Germany will endeavor to protect its interests and its people, particularly in the Sudetenland.[/pre][/list][/list]

| The mention of the Sudetenland was particularly intriguing to the Chancellor, however it was brushed aside and instead the Turkish issue took center-stage. An attempt on President Kemal Ataturk had occurred a week ago, on 7 February 1937, and the German Chancellor had convened his Cabinet to discuss a plan of action. A majority opposed immediate intervention in what Germany saw as Turkish internal affairs, however the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister for the Armed Forces urged the Chancellor to back Ataturk's government should things escalate. By the end of the meeting, which according to records lasted about 7 hours, the Neuwark Plan had its groundwork laid down, awaiting polishing by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Ministry for Defense. Particularly, the plan stated that 'increased monitoring' of the Turkish situation would be implemented, and an 'assessment' of the Sudetenland - a German-majority region in Czechoslovakia - would also take place. |

Union-State of Portuguese Nations Established New Supranational Government Institutions

União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas Estabeleceu Novas Instituições Governamentais Supranacionais

Viva o Estado Novo!

[sub]Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, Prime Minister of Portugal and President of União-Estado das Nações Portuguesas | LISBON, 1937[/sub][/list]

[sub]| Deus abençoe o novo estado |[/sub]

Visiting Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Salazar would be met with grand cheers and appreciation from the Brazilian people who began to view Portugal and Brazil as eternal siblings part of the same destiny instead of recolonization and oppression. As Vargas meets Salazar at the Palácio Laranjeiras, both individuals would be accompanied with a conjoined entourage that included high ranking civilian and military officials summoned to assist in the construction of supranational institutions that will overtime conjoin Brazilian and Portuguese ambitions, interests, and unify policy in strategic areas. With both Salazar and Vargas sitting in throne-like armchairs at a long conference table made out of polished redwood bearing the flags of both Portugal and Brazil while having the coat of arms of both nations inscribed on the surface of the table and fragranced with luxury cologne, the agreed upon institutions to be structured would be the following:

[list][list][pre]Conselho da Força de Defesa do Grande Estado Novo (CFDGEN) -> Council for the Greater Estado Novo Defense Force

Conselho de Atividade Econômica e Sustentação (CAES) -> Council for Economic Activity and Sustainment

Conselho de Revisão e Consulta Judicial (CRCJ) -> Council for Judicial Review and Consultation

Grande Conselho do Estado Novo (GCEN) -> Grand Council of the Estado Novo

Conselho de Educação e Assuntos Culturais (CEAC) -> Council for Education and Cultural Affairs

Autoridade Bancária e Financeira do Estado Novo (ABFEN) -> Banking and Financial Authority of the Estado Novo

Comissão de Infraestrutura e Meio Ambiente (CIMA) -> Commission on Infrastructure and the Environment

Conselho de Indústrias e Tecnologia (CIT) -> Council on Industries and Technology

Conselho de Trabalho, Salários e Bem-Estar (CTSBE) -> Council on Labor, Wages, and Welfare[/pre][/list][/list]

With confirmation for the establishment of these inaugural Councils and Commissions, Vargas and Salazar would begin to appoint their desired Conselheiro Chefe (Chief Councilman) to design, operate, and formally establish the embryonic structures of the Greater Estado Novo:

[list][list][pre]Vereador-chefe do Estado-Maior Conjunto da Força de Defesa do Estado Novo -> General Augusto Tasso Fragoso

Conselheiro Chefe do Conselho de Atividade Econômica e Sustentação -> Afonso Augusto da Costa, GCTE, GCL

Conselheiro-chefe do Conselho de Revisão e Consulta Judicial -> Philadelpho José de Barros e Azevedo

Vereador-chefe do Grande Conselho do Estado Novo -> Américo de Deus Rodrigues Tomás GCC GOA GOSE

Vereador-chefe do Conselho de Educação e Assuntos Culturais -> José Hipólito Raposo

Vereador-chefe da Autoridade Bancária e Financeira do Estado Novo -> Francisco de Paula Brochado da Rocha

Vereador-chefe da Comissão de Infraestrutura e Meio Ambiente -> Marcello José das Neves Alves Caetano GCTE GCC

Conselheiro-chefe do Conselho de Indústrias e Tecnologia -> Roberto Pisani Marinho

Conselheiro-chefe do Conselho de Trabalho, Salários e Bem-Estar -> António de Medeiros e Almeid[/pre][/list][/list]

With prominent individuals in good standing with the United Front Estado Novo regimes, both Salazar and Vargas would have each individual give their oath of office and swear their allegiance to the Union-State in addition to provide the initiation of allocating land for the construction of UENS government buildings in both Brazil and Portugal in addition to government liaison attaches to further strengthen the solidarity and unity of the Salazar Portuguese and Vargas Brazilian government administrations regarding domestic security, policies, stability, and future progresses. Regarding Portuguese African and Asian possessions, the Greater Estado Novo has prompted the idea for the establishment of a specific Council regarding the welfare, status, and development of the Domínio Português (Portuguese Domain) and Português perto do exterior (Portuguese Near Abroad); however, that has been determined not a pressing matter at the moment.

[list][list][sub]DIE DOKTRIN DER KOMBINIERTEN KRIEGSFÜHRUNG WIRD MIT DER MASSENPRODUKTION DER PANZER I UND II VOLLSTÄNDIG UMGESETZT[/sub]

[pre]COMBINED ARMS WARFARE DOCTRINE SEES FULL IMPLEMENTATION WITH MASS PRODUCTION OF PANZER I, II TANKS[/pre][/list][/list]

| At a tour of Production Facility for Armored Vehicles B (Pr.Gef B) by the Minister of Defense and the Minister of the Armed Forces, along with the German General Staff as well as two high-ranking commanding officers in the German Heer (Army), it was announced that with the start of 'full-scale' mass production of the Panzer I and Panzer II armored tank vehicles, the combined arms warfare and 'lightning war' (Blitzkrieg) doctrine would now be able to see full implementation by the German Army and the Luftwaffe hand-in-hand. The Panzer II medium tank began production in 1936 on a limited scale and in December 1936 was officially introduced into the German Army's armored divisions stationed along the border with Poland. In March 1937, production rose exponentially as Austrian facilities began producing the vehicle and/or its components en masse, and on 2 April the Ministry of Production classified the Panzer II as 'under mass production'. The speech by the Minister of the Armed Forces to the gathered crowd of workers and soldiers read as the following: |

[list][list][pre][...] Am zweiten April dieses Monats gab das Ministerium für Produktion offiziell bekannt, dass der mächtige Panzerkampfwagen II, mittlere Klasse, unseres Heeres offiziell in die Phase der Massenproduktion eingetreten ist. Dieses Produktionsstadium ermöglicht es uns, schnell große, leistungsfähige und mobile Panzerdivisionen zu bilden, um deutsche Militäroperationen zu unterstützen und aktuelle oder ältere Panzerdivisionen, die aus schwächeren Panzer I oder Panzerfahrzeugen aus der Zwischenkriegszeit bestehen, aufzufüllen und zu ersetzen. Mit Ihrer Unterstützung, den Arbeitnehmern und den Bausteinen der Germania-Produktionsanlagen, werden wir die Sicherheit des Staates und des deutschen Volkes durch den Einsatz moderner Waffen zur Landesverteidigung weiterhin gewährleisten.[/pre]

[pre][...] On the Second of this month, April, the Ministry for Production formally announced that our Army's powerful Panzerkampfwagen II armored tank vehicle, medium class, had officially entered the stage of mass production. This stage of production enables us to quickly form large, powerful and mobile armored tank divisions to support German military operations and replenish and replace current or older armored divisions composing of weaker Panzer I or interwar armored tank vehicles. With your support, the workers and the building blocks of Germania's production facilities, we will ensure the continued security of the Staat and the German people through the deployment of modern weapons of national defense.[/pre][/list][/list]

| The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Armed Forces, in communication with and with the sign off from the Staatskanzlei (State Chancellery), formally implemented the Combined Arms Warfare (Kombinierte Kriegsführung) doctrine which would dictate the increased co-operation and communication between air and ground forces in combat to boost efficiency and the chances of a victory. The 'lighting war', or Blitzkrieg doctrine of utilizing armored tanks to breakthrough enemy lines and push forward at an ultra-rapid speed with motorized infantry units would also be implemented fully into the Heer with the onset of mass-scale production of armored tanks. |

NEW ARROW DESIGN

______________________________________________

The Kemuliaan Anjing branch of the military refusal to use firearms meant that they had no real form of range combat beyond throwing knives and axes even until now as their purpose for dropping into combat now is to serve purely as cannon fodder.So it was decided that they needed a minor upgrade so that the Kemuliaan Anjing could have more uses,this was introducing the concept of bows and arrows to the Kemuliaan Anjing to make range units but still not use firearms along with that a new archer branch of the Kemuliaan Anjing was made so soldiers who are part of the Kemuliaan Anjing could gain advanced training if they sign up meanwhile those who didn't sign up would only receive basic training.A new arrow would also be specifically designed to be extremely deadly by making it hard to attend the wound if struck by the arrow in combat.The arrow would be the same as the traditional arrow used for hunting with the only difference being in the tip as the tip would receive two new side bits for the left and right of the arrow and the tip would be longer and thinner.The side bits would be the main part of the new arrow design which would hopefully cause the most harm to the human body.

HANSEONG, JOSEON — EAST ASIA[/list]

[list][list]총리가 한반도에 새로운 정치적 변화를 가져옵니다!

[pre]THE PRIME MINISTER BRINGS NEW POLITICAL CHANGES TO THE KOREAN PENINSULA![/pre][/list][/list]

| In Hanseong, a city considered an “armed fortress” besieged by military and police, following the desperate cry of citizens day after day throughout the 27 years that Japan has oppressed Korea with rigor — a peninsula without freedom is the sadness of Koreans. After 4 years that Former Prime Minister Choi ruled Korea, the peninsula is in complete chaos, rebellions have increased significantly in small towns in North Korea, in those ideals of declaring war on terrorists and building anti-terrorist principles. But carefully LEE JU-HO, newly appointed Prime Minister of Joseon, already knows very well how to negotiate with Korean fascists. A fascist party with just four years since its founding, it was not too pleased with the appointment of a peace-loving military man as Prime Minister and vehemently criticized Tokyo and regretted the resignation of Former Prime Minister Choi. Prime Minister Lee has presented Parliament with new policy changes that will totally dismantle Choi’s policies. The first three points of the new policy dismantle “almost” everything from the Former Prime Minister. |

[list][list]i) 대테러조직의 해산. 테러 문제는 한성경찰서와 일본군만이 해결할 수 있다.

ii) 한성에서는 군인의 수는 크게 줄어들지만 경찰의 수는 늘어날 것입니다.

iii) “청소년동맹은 대한민국 정부의 영향 아래 청년들을 보호하는 것을 목표로 유지될 것입니다.”

[pre]i) Dissolution of anti-terrorist forces. The issue of terrorism can only be resolved by the Hanseong Police Departament and the Imperial Japanese Army.

ii) In Hanseong, the number of soldiers will be greatly reduced, but the number of police will increase.

iii) “The Youth League will be maintained with the aim of keeping young people under the influence of the Korean government.”[/pre][/list][/list]

| Though with complete regret to some PARLIAMENTARIANS, Prime Minister Lee’s changes were passed, knowing that Tokyo was behind this new policy. Prime Minister Lee also has anti-terrorist ideals, but he will enforce this through the police force and act quickly to avoid any possible armed conflict with the rebels. LEE also emphasized the importance of the Korean Youth League for young people and convinced Tokyo to keep it. |

[sup]In the world of politics, there can only be winners and losers. For Reza Shah, his rise to power was a laborious life journey, thus his personality was like that of a lion. He never backed down, never compromised with rivals, and most importantly made sure to let others know he was in charge. As such, his personality would even come to earn fear from his own ministers. Coming to power after the coup of 1921, Reza Shah quickly worked to secure his power. He purged the military of Qajar loyalists and then crushed several uprisings in the initial years of his reign. Years later, despite his progressive ideals, Reza Shah's rule was anything but democratic. Parliamentary elections during the Shah's reign were not democratic. The general practice was to draw up, with the help of the police chief, a list of parliamentary candidates for the interior minister. The interior minister then passed the same names onto the provincial governor-general who handed down the list to the supervisory electoral councils that were packed by the Interior Ministry to oversee the ballots. In effect, the parliament was nothing more than a cover-up for obvious military rule. The support behind the Shah's rule came from three pillars, the most important being the military. To keep the military in line, the Shah increased the annual defense budget of Iran on a yearly basis, more than fivefold from 1926 to present day. The Officers saw an increase in their salaries to keep them loyal to the Shah. The second pillar of the Shah's regime was his modern state bureaucracy that allowed the regime to cut down on regionalist powers to further centralize the Iranian nation. Its ten civilian ministries employed 90,000 full-time government workers. Patronage controlled by the Shah's royal court served as the third pillar. This was financed by the Shah's considerable personal wealth which had been built up by forced sales and confiscations of estates, making him "the richest man in Iran". However, the Shah has his opposition in the Iranian clergy. Throughout his rule the Shah had clashed with the clergy due to his progressive ideals. This culminated when the Shah began his westernization policies that granted more rights and privileges to Iranian women. The Shah also began a cultural policy of Persianization, with the explicit aim to promote Persian nationalism, those with Arab names we're forced to adopt Iranian names, Arab words began being changed for traditional Persian terms, and school's began pushing pre-Islamic Iranian history to promote national pride amongst the youths. Tension's reached a boiling point when riots sparked when the Shah attempted to copy Atatürk's policies regarding public dress code. The Shah wanted Iranian's to dress up in western fashions. Men were ordered to dress in a suit with a fedora hat and women we're no longer obliged to follow the Chador. This resulted in several riots breaking out as the clergy began speaking out against the Shah's policies. Another source of opposition was the Shah himself. The Shah's infamous short temper often caused fear amongst his own ministers and military officers. Reza Shah discredited and eliminated a number of his ministers. His minister of Imperial Court, Abdolhossein Teymourtash, was accused and convicted of corruption, bribery, misuse of foreign currency regulations, and plans to overthrow the Shah. He was removed as the minister of court in 1932 and died under suspicious circumstances while in prison in September 1933. The minister of finance, Prince Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III, who played an important role in the first three years of his reign, was convicted on similar charges in May 1930, and also died in prison, in January 1938. Ali-Akbar Davar, his minister of justice, was suspected of similar charges and committed suicide in February, 1937. Reza Shah's ever increasing authoritarianism has no doubt earned him the ire of his people and alienated his inner circle. Only time will tell if the Shah can keep himself on the imperial throne or meet a similar fate to his Qajar counterparts. With tensions rising in Europe, Iran's future may be open to change for better or worse.[/sup]

[pre]Tensions in Anatolia have reached a high, Red Militias now flaunt themselves in rural communities the red banner of liberation flies among the rest. Thousands of men wait in the Union to liberate their nation for the proletariat. Turks and Kurds stand side by side in the lands of the Georgian SSR armed and trained for combat and political battle. Kars would be the first major city targeted for liberation with control of the plateau it sits on needed to ensure geographic protection from anti-Revolutionary forces. General Mehmet Kâzım Orbay and General Kliment Voroshilov would order the force of 10,000 to move south of Batumi towards Gyumri a mere 6 miles from the border and 41 miles from Kars. The March would begin at 6am June Fifth of the year 1937 when ARA Revolutionaries would enter sovereign Turkish territory near the villages of: Büyükdurduran, Ocaklı, and İbişköy splitting into three forces of 3,000 with a fourth force of 1,000 men and numerous armored assets: 15 T-27, 10 T-37, 10 MS-1, and 20 FAI Armored Cars acting as a armored spearhead headed straight for the objective of Kars and would enter the border near Kalkankale this force would attempt to rush Kars leaving resistance to be left in the dust to be cleaned up by the rest of the ARA in encirclement wherever resistance was met. Artillery would move behind the advancing force mainly made up of 122 mm howitzer M1909/37 and 122 mm howitzer M1910/30. Artillery and armor would be manned by Soviet veteran volunteers. Orders would be given to only fire if fired upon and to leave the civilian population untouched and as unbothered as possible. A plain Red flag would fly above the forces signifying their allegiance to the Anatolian Red Army with many of the vehicles from transport to armor having the slogan written in Turkish “The Revolution has come, Liberation is here!” Turkish Armed Forces in the region would be advised by ARA forces to stand down and join the Revolution.[/pre]

Those in southern Turkey would begin sabotage and harassment against Turkish forces using guerrilla tactics. Roads leading into Turkey from foreign nations would begin to be targeted and destroyed in the nights to hamper Counter-Revolutionary logistics. Those in the rest of Turkey would also target transportation infrastructure and known Counter-Revolutionaries to hamper logistics as the ARA moves into Kars and to tie up resources across the Turkish state to exhaust counter-revolutionary morale. Across rural communities the same message written on ARA vehicles would be written on buildings and signs “The Revolution has come, Liberation is here!”.[/pre]

[list]| Following Turkish political instability in the region of Asia Minor, this serves as a major threat to Greek sovereignty and to Greek autonomy. With the dangerous Bulgarian and Romanian Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the North, the threat of communism is now real. The Kingdom of Greece cannot afford to have yet another peaceful neighbor fall to the grips of communism. One measure to help deter the spread of communism in Greece was the recently passed Greek Foreign Identity Act which saw Greece's foreign policy, particularly to the Eastern Hemisphere, tighten with the rapid spread and influence of communism in the Balkan region. And with Turkey now on the verge of civil war, and with the dangerous Turkish Anatolian Red Army on the rise, the time is now for Greece to act, and not stand idly by as another one of her neighbors falls to the horrors of communism. Metaxas would quote; |[/list]

[list][list]"...The political instability in Turkey is certainly worrying, let alone the thought of communism in the Balkans and Asia Minor. However, our new Turkish friends will not be left to defend themselves alone! Here I hold our mutual defense agreement and our treaty of friendship with the Turkish. I met with President Ataturk this morning, to discuss our relations and it shall be solidified with the agreements in my hand. Turkey is a democratic nation, and will not become another Communist utopia unlike our northern neighbors [Bulgaria and Romania]. Should Turkey fall out into civil war, they will have Greek military support, and our full support to combat the rise of communism. Forget the past, this is the present, who cares if we were enemies? Who cares if we fought against each other almost three decades ago? Us and the Turks must rise against a common evil which we all are aware of..."[/list][/list]

[list]| On the 21st of May, Turkish President Mustafa Ataturk met with Greek Dictator Ioannis Metaxas in Athens to discuss the political instability in Turkey. Ataturk had offered Greece an alliance to help deter communism, with Greece gladly accepting. On a telegram sent to Metaxas on the 22nd, it detailed the official documents for a Greco-Turkish Mutual Defense Agreement, which would directly bring Greece into the Turkish Civil War should it break out. On the 24th, Ataturk had flown into Athens once more, now bringing up an alliance due to the rapid build-up of Anatolian Red Army Troops. Once again, Metaxas would agree to this agreement and following the signing of several documents, Greek troops were now stationed in Turkey by Late May. By the 1st of June, over 5,000 Greek volunteer troops accompanied by 50 GLT-33 Light Tanks and 25 GMT-35 Tanks had crossed over to Turkey, along with the Greek 1st and 2nd Fleets which would patrol the Turkish waters. However the Greek troops did not expect the outbreak of the Turkish Civil War so early. Metaxas declared that for now, Greece would remain relatively neutral but had provided aid via tanks and guns. Should any Communist proposals of non-intervention should come about, Greece will decline. Greece cannot afford another one of her neighbors to fall into the grips of communism. |[/list]

[pre]EMERGENCY VISIT BY FOREIGN MINISTER FISCHER REAFFIRMS GERMAN SUPPORT FOR TURKISH REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT AGAINST SOCIALIST REBELS[/pre][/list][/list]

| The deployment of Soviet "Red Militias" into Turkey to support socialist rebels against the Republican government of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Ismet Inonu triggered waves in Berlin and within the echelons of the German Government. The fall of Turkey to Soviet influence would threaten German interests on the Continent, a threat realized by the Government of Adolph Heidler when the Republic of Turkey joined the Soviet Union's mutual defense pact with the socialist republics of Romania and Bulgaria. On the 7th of June 1937, two days after the Red Militias were deployed, the German Cabinet convened and unanimously adopted a motion by the Chancellor to dispatch Foreign Minister Konstantin von Fischer to Ankara to reaffirm German support for the Republican government of Ataturk and Inonu, and discuss the possibility of aid deployments to the Republican regime. The declaration of support of Turkey's Republican government by Greece only emboldened Germany in its support for Turkey. On 11 June 1937, von Fischer arrived in Ankara and met with Turkish President Ataturk, with whom he reaffirmed Germany's support for his government. To the press following the meeting he stated: |

[list][list][pre][...] Nach meinem Treffen mit Präsident Atatürk ist klar, dass die Türkei und Deutschland gemeinsam gegen die Bedrohung durch Sozialismus und Autoritarismus stehen. Es ist notwendig, dass sich die gleichgesinnten Nationen Europas gegen die von Moskau ausgehende Bedrohung zusammenschließen, und die Entsendung dieser Schurken der Roten Miliz in die Türkei selbst ist nur ein weiterer Teil des Versuchs Sowjetrusslands, das türkische Volk zu unterjochen. Deutschland wird in enger Verbindung mit der Regierung der Republik Türkei von Herrn Präsident Atatürk und Herrn Ministerpräsident Inonu die dringend benötigte Hilfe für das türkische Volk organisieren und versenden, um es in seinem Kreuzzug gegen die sozialistische Bedrohung zu unterstützen.[/pre]

[pre][...] Following my meeting with President Herr Ataturk it is clear that Turkey and Germany both stand together against the menace posed by socialism and authoritarianism. It is necessary for the like-minded nations of Europe to unite against the threat posed by Moscow, and the deployment of these Red Militia scoundrels into Turkey proper is only yet another installment of Soviet Russia's attempt to subjugate the Turkish people. In close communication with the Government of the Republic of Turkey of Herr President Ataturk and Herr Inonu, the Prime Minister, Germany will organize and dispatch much-needed aid to the Turkish people to support them in their crusade against the socialist menace.[/pre][/list][/list]

| Among the first shipments of aid will be 6,500 Karbiner 98k bolt action rifles as a donation to the Turkish Government, alongside 50 Opel Blitz trucks. The primary shipment of aid will be the dispatching of a volunteer armored force of German volunteers, anti-tank weaponry, 45 Panzer I light tanks and 30 Panzer II medium tanks. This German volunteer unit, to be known as Unit Valkyrie, will operate under Turkish command similarly to how the German Condor Legion in Spain is operating under the command of Nationalist leader Francisco Franco. It is expected that within a few months the completed shipments will arrive on Turkish shores to support the Republican government against the socialist menace. The deployment of volunteer infantry and motorized soldiers have yet to be announced and are allegedly not in consideration at the current time. |

[list] | Following Greece's alliance with Turkey, and with the outbreak of the Turkish Civil War, the Greek Communist Resistance Party (Kommounistikó Kómma Elládas), has reached the boiling point in terms of their rights and their political say in Greece. Inspired by the Communist Anatolian Army in Turkey, and the Bulgarian and Romanian Soviet Socialist Republics to the North, this resistance movement has also been planning to uprise and cause chaos in Greece, demanding Greece's true identity was to be led by not a king, but by the people. Since the establishment of the 4th of August Regime under Metaxas, all other parties in Greece have been banned from trying to get into major elections, or lack of it, however, parties were allowed to run for smaller positions such as community leaders. For Metaxas, this took an unexpected turn of events, as Communists winning these minor elections had sprung up all around Greece and had gained a relatively large party. Efforts to silence the communists had been made, but over 14,500 Greek citizens and politicians had made it into the Greek Communist Resistance Party, which often cause havoc in smaller, rural areas of Greece. Prominent leaders of the resistance group often meet up in undisclosed locations to discuss their ' plans and ambitions for the nation. |[/list]

[list][list]| [sub]Nikos Zachariadis, General Secretary of the Greek Communists[/sub] | “I hope you got these plans right, we can't afford another mistake. This time I want it right, I don't want this to turn into a situation similar to the 1935 coup.”

| [sub] Eleftherios Stavridis, Military Collaborator of the Metaxist Administration[/sub] | “Don't worry, I verified this time and these are all correct.”

| [sub]Nikos Zachariadis, General Secretary of the Greek Communists[/sub] | “Alright, give me the plans now, I have to deliver these to the generals, what are your terms for me to get these plans?.”

| [sub] Eleftherios Stavridis, Military Collaborator of the Metaxist Administration[/sub] | “Now, as per your request, here are the maps of Greek troop movements in Turkey, an additional 15,000 men are set to arrive in the country by a fortnight, so we need to do this NOW. My terms are that when you overthrow that pig Metaxas, I want to be promised that I will be your second in command, and this time I want this information carried through you and me, I don't want to be exposed and killed by our own."

| [sub]Nikos Zachariadis, General Secretary of the Greek Communists[/sub] | “Don't worry, I will try my best to get you that position, and we will win our revolt, we will not get crushed. I just heard the news that we're getting aid from the USSR, so we will surely win.”

| [sub] Eleftherios Stavridis, Military Collaborator of the Metaxist Administration[/sub] | “Fine, I guess I'll take your word for it. Before you forget, I added your request for the 'special file' [...Date and plan of Greek intervention in Turkey] in there, so you and your group should know when and where to attack."

[list]*Footsteps of Greek policemen could be heard coming from outside the room*[/list]

| [sub]Nikos Zachariadis, General Secretary of the Greek Communists[/sub] | “Now, I must go and you must too! These plans will be very useful to our future operations, I will see you next year when the communists have taken over. Take care.”

| [sub] Eleftherios Stavridis, Military Collaborator of the Metaxist Administration[/sub] | “Thank you, now don't forget your promise, I'll be here, now, out the back door, now

[/list]

| This was the handover of documents regarding Greek intervention and troop movements in Turkey within the Greek Communist Resistance Party, this shows the level of corruption in the Greek political system. These two individuals will remain loyal to the communist party until the end. These documents would prove useful in future revolts and uprisings in Greece by the communists, which would severely limit Greece's fighting capacity in the years to come. [But that's for another time...]. |

[sub][list]February 5, 1937[/sub][/list]

ROYAL PALACE, HELSINKI, FINLAND — NIGHT

[sub]8:00 P.M. Within the Royal Palace, King Väinö I sits on his throne inside the throne room with Queen Margaret and Crown Prince Wolfgang standing next to him. They are waiting for the arrival of Prince Philipp’s sons, Moritz and Heinrich, who will be raised as Finnish royals.[/sub]

[list][B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”I still can’t believe that Philipp was willing to permanently send his children to live with us.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Of course he was willing to send his sons to live with us if he wanted his heirs to be the future kings of Finland.”[/sub]

[B]QUEEN MARGARET, Queen-Consort:[/B] [sub]”I feel bad for Mafalda, for no mother should be separated from her children.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”I may not like it, but this has to be done for the monarchy's future. Sometimes sacrifice must be made.”[/sub]

[B]QUEEN MARGARET, Queen-Consort:[/B] [sub]”Even so, I don’t agree with this at all.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”We can talk about this later dear. It seems that they have arrived.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Suddenly the door to the throne room was opened by the Butler Aaron Korhonen, and two children, Moritz and Heinrich, walked inside the throne room. King Väinö I then proceeded to speak to them in German since they did not learn the Finnish language yet.[/sub]

[list][B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Hello my grandchildren; welcome to Finland, your new home. I am glad to see you two very well.”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Hello grandpa Väinö, grandma Margaret, and uncle Wolfgang, we are glad to see you again.”[/sub]

[B]HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]” Yes, it is good to see you again, grandpa, grandma, and uncle Wolfgang.”[/sub]

[B]QUEEN MARGARET, Queen-Consort:[/B] [sub]”Hello my sweet Moritz and Heinrich, you must be tired from your trip all the way here from Italy.”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, Grandma Margaret, we feel very tired, but we are happy to see you again.”[/sub]

[B]HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yeah we are, but I’m also sad because we won’t be able to live with mama and papa ever again.”[/sub]

[B]QUEEN MARGARET, Queen-Consort:[/B] [sub]” Oh, my dear grandchild, I’m sorry to see you so sad.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Queen Margaret went over and hugged both Moritz and Heinrich and tried to comfort them. Crown Prince Wolfgang then proceed to speak to his nephews.[/sub]

[list][B]WOLFGANG, Crown Prince:[/B] [sub]”Though you may not be able to live with your parent ever again, that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to see them again. They promise to come and visit you here and write letters to you two. So cheer up my nephews and be brave.”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Alright uncle Wolfgang, we will try to be brave.”[/sub]

[B]HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes we will try to be brave, uncle.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Alright, that's enough chick chat. It is time for me to tell you why you are to live here, my grandchild. I believe they have enough hugs from you. Would you please step away, my dear?”[/sub]

[B]QUEEN MARGARET, Queen-Consort:[/B] [sub]”Very well dear.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Queen Margaret stops hugging Moritz and Heinrich and steps away from them. King Väinö I then got up from the throne and walked toward his grandchild. Once in front of them, he then began to speak.[/sub]

[list][B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”You are here because you two are the future of this monarchy, and as such, you two will live and be raised here as a Prince of Finland. As Prince of Finland, you will need to learn the Finnish language to speak with the people living in this country and learn Finnish culture, tradition, and history. I will hire a tutor for both of you, so they will teach you want you need to know. Are you two following along well?”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland and HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, grandpa, we understand what you are saying.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Good. I will also hire tutors to correct your knowledge and to help you realize that the things that the teachers that your father hired to teach you are false and propagandistic. Do I make myself clear to you two?”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, I understand grandpa Väinö, and I agree with you that the teachings from those tutors that papa hired are not true.”[/sub]

[B]HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, grandpa…I understand.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Good, then you two. Now, as for you, Moritz, you will receive an education that will be a little bit different than what your brother Heinrich will receive, for you will one day be the future King of Finland after Both your uncle and I pass away. Understood?”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, I understand grandpa Väinö, and I will live up to your expectation.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Very good, Moritz. Now one last thing before you two may leave and go to your new room.”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland and HEINRICH, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”What is it grandpa?”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Since you two will be living here as the Prince of Finland, it is appropriate that you adopt a Finnish name and use it from now on instead of your German name. Now Moritz, since your name is spelled the same in Finnish, you will keep your name but say it in Finnish once you learn the language. Understood?”[/sub]

[B]MORITZ, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]”Yes, I understand, grandpa Väinö.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Good Moritz. As for you, Heinrich, you will, from now on, be using your new name, Heikki. It is the Finnish equivalent of your current name Heinrich. This will be the name that you will use in both public and private from now on. Understood Heikki?”[/sub]

[B]HEIKKI, Prince of Finland:[/B] [sub]” Yes, grandpa, I understand, and I will use that name from now on.”[/sub]

[B]KING VÄINÖ I, Monarch:[/B] [sub]”Good, then you two. Now that I have finished explaining everything to you two, you may leave. Aaron, the butler, will show you two to your new room. Now you may be dismissed.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]Both Prince Moritz and Prince Heikki went and hugged their grandpa, grandma, and uncle before they were escorted by Aaron, who was taking them to their new room.[/sub]

--MARCH 11, 1937--

On February 10th, 1937, A bombing occurred in the parliament with 97 killed in the explosion. Sources say that this terrible act was perpetrated by the Slovenian government. This was a meeting in which non-leading parties in Slovenia have a small chat about the leading government. This was quite a small meeting, with only around 125 people attending. We have a witness from that explosion:

Reporter: "What did you exactly see when the bomb went off?"

Party Member: "I saw a bright flash, then blood sprayed across my face. I think some bone also went into my cheeks."

Reporter: "That sounds terrifying."

Party Member: "It indeed was. After that, all I thought about was to run out the door and out of the parliament building. However, I had shrapnel all in my body, so I tried not to move."

Reporter: "What did you see at where the lectern used to be?"

Party Member: "I saw lots of blood sprayed across the walls, including many sights of gore. I threw up once my vision cleared."

Reporter: "Jesus Christ."

Following this, today is the day that Slovenia declares independence, not wanting any war, as they are already suffering conflicts from the inside. Many skirmishes are already going on in the nation of Slovenia, and we begin to interview multiple soldiers soon. We will return after a commerical break.

RHODESIAN GOVERNMENT MERGES MILITARY MANUFACTURERS, PAYS FOR NATIONALISATION

June 1937

The Rhodesian Government has today announced it will acquire all minor aircraft and aircraft part producers within the Country and merge them with the currently largest firm, Rhodesian Aviation Co. Ltd. With the merger complete the resulting construct will be coined the Rhodesian Aviation Corporation (RAC) and shall serve as the sole Aircraft manufacturer within the Country. By merging all of these firms they would be able to better centralize production towards one goal rather than the many workshops working for their own contracts and wishes. The same shall go for all Arms and Military Vehicles manufacturers, which shall be united into the greater construct of the Rhodesian Small Arms Company (RSA). The RSA shall be responsible for the production of all Military Goods save Naval and Aviation goods, which includes ground vehicles along with Energy and Communications products for the Armed Forces.

Some select smaller firms that focus on other products however produce military products on limited contract basis were permitted to continue existing as Armaments nor Munitions were their main product, however in return these firms had a greater responsibility to report their production numbers and contracts on an active basis to the Federal Armaments Department. The move to produce more munitions at home rather than through importation was also a great trade decision, as due to the much lower cost of labor and materials it means that Rhodesia can now actively export or sell at home British caliber munitions destined for civilian and military use. For a Nation governed by gun-wielding white Rhodesians the production of munitions at home is a very important step towards the Colony standing on its own two feet more credibly.

*tshhhh*

WE INTERRUPT YOUR SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING FOR BREAKING NEWS

In Franc-Slovenia, sectors of Ljubljana have been bombed out by Communist forces. 53 dead have been pulled out of the rubble of Ljubljana, with some of them being with the Slovenian government and some with the rebels.

Last night, we had interrogated around everyone that was fighting in the Slovenian Civil War. This was the interview with government soldiers, aired June 12, 1937:

Interviewer: "How much land have you captured in the following days, and what is the Government activity in the area at the moment?"

GVMT Soldier: "Oh, we've captured around 40 Kilometers just in the past 5 days, but they mostly had unarmed civilians there, however many camps have been established in Ljubljana and villages around it. We are making sure that we do not harm any civilians, but that has been an incredibly hard task. Come."

The Government soldier took us to a house, where it had been bombed out. Inside the home was supposedly bodies of rebels and Slovenians, as if the Slovenians were held hostage. The Government soldier tells us more about the incident"

GVMT Soldier: "So, the rebels entered the house, without knowing that there were people living in there, supposedly civilians trying to retreat from the warzones. We saw the rebels, and only the rebels. We opened fire onto the house, without knowing that there were civilians in there. The bullets kind of went through the walls, shooting the civilians and the rebels. Upon finding the civilians, a medic treated one, the only one alive. The rest were already dead when the medic had got there. Shot their hearts. The other one, however, had been shot in the lower chest."

This conflict in Slovenia has truly turned into a nasty civil war. Then, the next day, we fled from government troops and found the communist rebels. Here is the interview with them, but our cameraman died mid-journey, so we used a soldier instead.

Interviewer: "How has the first months of war been for the communist rebels?"

COMM Soldier: "Well, for one thing, it's been great because we can actually achieve freedom if we win. On the other hand, fighting has been brutal. It's hard to control and maintain a place for a while."

COMM Soldier 2: "No filming. Stop filming with the camera."

We later had to go.

--JUNE 16, 1937, CAUSUALTY REPORT OF JUNE--

Casualties have been mounting up in the last 16 days. Supposedly, 34 more dead have been pulled out of the bombings in Ljubljana. However, 134 people have died around the country. That record was taken last night, but something happened last night while recording deaths. At around 2:00 today, a bombing in a densely populated part of Slovenia was bombed, killing 318 people. This was an area incredibly dense. 636 have been killed in total. Now back to scheduled programming, on Channel 3 TV.

A new education system has been planned and this will be the first month of its usage.The new education system was designed entirely around developing a child's intelligence at a early age starting with a exposure to a semi-school life at 3,with learning how to speak Bahasa Melayu and English,learning basic multiplications,basic science at the age of 3.Once reaching the age of 6 they will be moved to a proper school for their education there,they will learn basic engineering which will progressively get harder each year they advanced.Once they reach the age of 10 they will be given a important exam paper which will be a conglomerate of all the things they learned for the past 4 years and if they fail they will be held back until they can pass the exam.After that they will be moved up to a higher education level,with teachers who are more strict and upon reaching their 3rd year in this higher education form they will be given a paper for the school to see what they are good at and what their bad at after the results are sent in.Their best result will be taken to assign them special classes to increase their level in their best subject and once they reach 15 they will be given one last paper which will like before combine all the things they learned except for the special classes which they have to pass in order to finish their mandatory school years.After that they can choose to continue pursuing education and be given the chance to become a teacher after 2 years or go to work as what's supposed to be a highly educated person.
