The first half of 1946

 

The USSR begins to wind down its large military expansion and instead dedicates its resources to the Soviet Space Program.  Production lines are trimmed down. The new additions to the red army reserves are demobilized in favor of the more quality troops trained earlier. (canceling out previous turn’s actions).  Stalin picks a young and ambitious scientist, Sergei Korolev to lead this program. Korolev and his team are given access to existing research into missile programs. “We shall not fall behind in the exploration of what lays beyond our world!” declares Stalin.  Such marks the beginning of the Space Race. (mod)

 

An American spy is found by the KGB, working against the interests of the USSR.  “Under ordinary circumstances, the penalty for sedition is death. But, given the thaw between the United States and the USSR, I am willing to send this man home to the U.S. on the condition that the U.S. agrees to stop spying on the Soviet Union,” declares Marshall Stalin.

 

Development begins on a new APC, designated the Type 4.  The new french Armored Personnel Carrier is  equipped with a completely sealed carriage and a back door, it provides rapid deployment for infantry under fire.  The chassis features a bulletproof cage designed to offer all around protection from hand-held arms and shrapnel. Although a mine would do a significant amount of damage and injure the men inside, the vehicle is designed to protect its inhabitants from instantly dying from at least one hit. A shielded machine gun sits on top of the vehicle, providing its operator with a 360 degree arc and suppression capabilities.  It has a 10 man capacity, including its driver. Soldiers have the option of using firing ports located on the sides to engage in fights from the APC. On the inside, it features padded seats and air conditioning/heating to ensure soldiers remain comfortable in hostile environments such as the desert or tundra. (mod)

 

Construction begins on a set of 10 new Chapayev class cruisers in a variety of Ukrainian shipyards.   Accompanying this effort, an expansion of the Soviet Union's ship producing ability is pursued.  New shipyards are queued to be built across Crimea and the black sea, near major ports. (mod)

The Empire once more feeling betrayed by the likes of Europe finds a friend in President Long who has been consistent in their support of the Japanese people and self determination of the Asian peoples. It was time to seek closer relations with the Americas, as opposed to the Europeans. Hirohito had travelled to Washington DC to sign the treaty in person, something usually unprecedented for Japanese Royals, signifying the importance of this alliance.

Saudi Arabia

 

For some time now Abdul Aziz and his court had been slaving away. They had accomplished so much, all in one man's life time. He would fondly look back on the days of old. When ottomans were the enemy. When he and his tribes had stood shoulder to shoulder. They had fought tyranny, and then became the rulers. Well no more. Abdul had killed them all, and his opposition. It had been a master stroke. But one that left plenty of inner demons. But Abdul's will was absolute. Now he had secured trade and free borders with his British neighbors. People and goods will begin to flow. He had transformed Arabia into a modernizing state. Nothing would stop him now, not even death.

 

Saudi Arabia had now formed the basis of a good local trade network. When the Balkans was a looming threat, they had to focus closer to home. But the uncertainty was out of the air. War was not to be, though there had been many deaths. Abdul had formed contacts and recommendations from the last wave of potential investment. Now his staff was busy making inquires. They yet again reached out to foreign investment, citing the time was now. Saudi Arabia had made it's own foundations, and was ready to massively expand it's market.

 

Military training continues as planned. High command expected by 1950 to have an army somewhat up to standards. Abdul had recently made some more deals and orders. The Saudi army was purposely kept small. It was making training and modernization far easier. He wanted to ensure every solider was well equipped. Thanks to the U.K and U.S, this was becoming a reality. Every solider could be lavishly armed and equipped, as there were so few. Of course reserve armories and warehouses held all the second rate stuff in case of a potential expansion.

 

Saudi Arabia and the U.S will begin a new arms deal. They had been buying outdated ships, and now expanded upon it. The U.S would help Saudi Arabia grow it's air force for real now. The Old Guard were starting to realize it had it's benefits. So Abdul had managed to persuade them to form a small corp to see what it could do. They would also help with general factory expansion and equipment production. The main point however was the joint deal for Thompson guns. It would work in two parts. First was the formation of Royal Army Commandos. They would receive very special training, and be the Saudi's best. Top members of the new S.A NCO class would help head the formation. Second would be the armament of them. Saudi Arabia wanted their troops to have the best weapons possible. And this was the most reachable and utility valued. So the two states will work on making a more military focused Thompson, and then exporting it Saudi Arabia.

 

-Local trade solidifies

 

-Second wave of foreign investment

 

-Military reforms 

 

Other Actions

 

-U.S expands ARAMCO further. Saudi's grant more exploration and harvest rights.

 

-Agriculture growth continues. Large shipments are sent to other M.E countries. Egypt and Iran though skeptical for now are assured to watch and wait.

 

-Work continues on University of Riyadh

 

-Work continues on service highways for Oil sector

   The Federal Republic of Mexico

Flag_of_Mexico.svg

Manuel Gonaléz, president of the Federal Republic of Mexico stood before the gathered national assembly of Mexico. As he stood from his elevated position and looked down into the crowd he could see the gathered parties and people. Many of these politicians had once been his enemies and still were but he knew that no matter his dislike of them he would need any help he could get to make sure the Republic of Mexico retained its freedom.  Thus President Gonaléz spoke the national state of the Union address to both the people (those who could afford a radio or tv anyway) as well as those politicians in front of him. 

 

"Fellow Mexicans, today we are gathered at twilight, the last few bright moments of this nation before it will fall into the darkness of Imperialism and war. If possible it is something we should avoid but the choice has been made for us, president Long has made his intentions clear, he wants to go South to expand."

 

 Manuel let out a look of sadness at this but also of determination as he straightened himself once more.

 

"The Americans have always had a desire for expansion and power, it reared its head first hundreds of years ago as the Americans settled West and went to war to take our territory from us. After this, we and the world thought that this desire for expansion was gone, but it was merely sleeping. Now it has reared it's ugly head again and we will need to put it to sleep forever.  "

 

" The coming war will not be easy, not by a long shot but it is necessary to keep our freedom and way of life. The Americans might not be coming for us now but they will soon. Thus I have a number of acts proposed to the parliament here to guarantee the safety of our country.  "

 

The president then continues on to propose a number of policies which serve to increase the capacity of Mexico to wage a defensive war.

 

 

The Gonalez Security acts

 

- A large government investment is put into the Mexican arms industry, with the focus being on small arms industry. As it is more achievable in the short run and needs less supply and is thus more viable than for example tanks which the country can not manufacture yet and not maintain due to a lack of oil. Though if possible a large amount of anti-tank and anti-air weapons would also be produced

 

- President Gonalez repeals the laws that stop a citizen from having a gun. And whilst all guns sold must be registered to their owner and can't be sold or traded by non-licensed personnel any citizen can now buy a gun. 

 

- A plan is put in preparation to if necessary implement scorched earth tactics on its northern border against a possible US invasion

 

- The taxes on horses breeding and ownership is nearly abolished in an effort to encourage more horse ownership. This is to make sure that Mexico has a larger amount of horses which can possibly be used in a Guerilla war and could be effective to disrupt American communications and supply lines.

 

- A minefield is laid on the western coasts of Mexico in locations not actively used for trade. This is to make the possibility of naval bombardment less likely.  To still protect the harbors in case of invasion several naval guns are installed near coastal cities with a harbor

 

The same is done on the east coast though on a lesser scale 

 

- A series of fortifications are created, with the most northern series of defenses mostly consisting of trenches and less fortified locations but at least enough to at least slow down the American troops. With the second and third line near Mexico city being even more fortified with bunkers and modern defenses

 

- Every Town in Mexico must form and train a militia consisting of all adults males above 22 and 50

 

- Every adult male above 22 and 50 years of age will go through the basic training of the Mexican army with the younger men going first and then the older men following that. They will not need to all join the army but they must all join their local militia and train for guerrilla tactics and other types of local combat at least two days in the week so most likely the weekend

 

-an effort is made to make the Mexican populace aware of the threat of the USA and to help unite the country with inspirational posters and broadcats

 

https://imgur.com/a/WGQrCFC

The purple lines indicate the locations of the defenses.

 

Research

The various scientists of Mexico are tasked with creating a large number of traps to be used in Guerilla warfare. These Traps would range from possible new types of mines, for  either infantry or Tanks to traps aimed to slow down an enemy approach. Anything that can be used against a superior invasion force like the Americans

 

The American Defence Pact

The Federal Republic of Mexico invites all nations in Latin and South America to join the American defense Pact, though the emphasis is put on its southern neighbors. 

This pact will consist of a defensive-pact if any of the signatories of this pact are attacked by a foreign nation the other members of the pact will aid it. And whilst no official accusations are made the underlying tone makes it clear this pact is intended to serve as a counter-balance against the USA's attempt to influence Southern and Latin America

The Foreign Ministry delivers a statement towards the Dutch for their scathing comments against the Japanese “The Kingdom of the Netherlands is formally requested to retract and apologise for their statements implying His Imperial Majesty is a hypocrite, a Monarch cannot be insulted in such a way in a scathing personal attack. Her Royal Majesty Wilhelmina I of the Netherlands was not personally insulted as a Monarch, only the ideals of European Imperialism outside of Europe were attacked. If the Netherlands does not retract this statement then formal diplomatic relations will cease between the two Nations. The Netherlands is warned that the Oil Platforms off the coast of the Dutch East Indies are owned by Japanese Companies and they will be protected as this in no way violates the contract signed.”

The second half of 1946

 

“We are entering a new era,” remarks Stalin to the general assembly. “It is one driven by the promise of a better life from technological advancement.   Our space program is truly a defining moment for us, and we shall not fall behind.”

 

The USSR begins an extensive campaign to drive forward support for its space program and catch up to Germany and then the United States.  A new T.V. show which debuted in September 1946, called “Ztar Trekke” details the adventures of the charming Captain Sergei Petrov and his crew, including women, and their exploits across the galaxy.  (mod)

 

New resources are allocated to the development of a new major, called aeronautical engineering.  Universities receive grants to expand their labs and receive some opportunities to engage in model rocket developments. Experts in these fields are few and far between because of the truly cutting edge nature of these courses, and the USSR begins a drive to attract more attention to this major and train the next generation of engineers.  Talent from the USSR’s world class universities is scouted to supplement the Space Program under Korolev’s discretion. (mod for Space Program and tech slot)

 

The USSR begins construction of a major spaceport in Kazakhstan.  It is colloquially referred to as the Baikonur Cosmodrome, and will support the infrastructure required to conduct space operations and realize the objective of putting a satellite into space. (mod)

 

Ft0bLt4ugAtzEFokChYfRWldt1uIIhZnwb8U_ERam4usmqsJkxZO7jCaXbGIVPBMNM_OOpAjF8e1hng6spwAQqvXKtj7vhU-YLXdY87M_mNJcWurVOV6tR00X1wu_gOLr-vGwzxY

Construction moves on for the Baikonur Cosmodrome

 

The USSR begins an expansion of its consumer goods production.  Appliances, clothes accessories (Adidas tracksuit confirmed), and other luxuries in particular are set to development and then production.  The committee of market affairs is created to manage consumer goods, and their development. The primary directives are to raise the quality of life within the Soviet Union, reduce the chronic shortages of consumer goods and other luxuries, and research and develop new consumer goods to ease the life of the Soviet working citizen.  Soviet designs must be engineered to be reliable, and have a long lifespan. One of the first projects is the development of a new cheap family car. (mod)

 

A second special economic zone is opened up in Kiev, especially to support the expansion of consumer goods.  Foreign investment and operation of manufacturing and retail will allowed, under supervision and with extensive background checks.  The Japanese offer for trade is cautiously accepted, and they are given rights to work with Russian government companies to develop the new car and sell it from Kiev.  The Kremlin makes it clear that foreign nationals doing commerce in the USSR must abide by its laws and strict codes in order to do business there.  Any merchant who commits espionage, sedition, or similar acts will incur the maximum penalties for this crime.  They should not be surprised to be under close monitoring by the NKVD. (mod)

 

The Crackdown

 

Following the discovery of an American spy within the USSR, a widespread KGB search is initiated. High value locations are given additional scrutiny, and new security measures are added.  CCTV cameras, a relatively new invention, are picked up on by the NKVD and begin to be rolled out en mass. They are installed around anywhere with the possibility of an espionage or sedition risk.  (mod)

The United States of America

 

Communism in America
On August 1, 1946, the Central Intelligence Agency released a report stating that a high number of countries in South America were at risk for communist revolts. The report outlined the chances and level of the populations who were communist supporters, potential communists, or radical socialists. The report lists most of the countries on the continent, with the exception of the British and French territories, Brazil, and Argentina. President Long spoke a day after its release, calling for an American intervention in the southern countries, starting with Mexico, who was included on the government report. [Mod for support of intervention in potentially communist southern American countries]

 

Colonial America
President Long issues a statement making clear that he does not intend to declare war upon or attempt to capture any of the European colonies in the Americas. His ambitions do not include war with Europe, which he believes is pointless and would result in a long and arduous conflict. He still hopes to maintain good relations with Canada. He reaffirms the American friendship with Canada and hopes that the current situation with Britain would not affect the relations between the United States and Canada, as they had established an independent friendship years before. [Mod for Canadian relations]

 

The American Union State
President Long outlines his new idea for the countries warned of potentially being communist. He hopes to create a new state, one federation between the different nations of the Americas. The American Union State would be a collection of the various democracies in the Americas and would be based out of a new capital in Panama. The plan would include massive infrastructure overhauls for all the nations involved, selective technology sharing to help begin to modernize their economies and countries, and free trade, to promote investment and a shared future. This would be a collective country, known as the American Union State, which would be helmed by a democratic system similar to the United States’ own system. President Long makes it clear under this, each nation would still have a degree of freedom, but the union would operate largely as one. One thing is made clear in his plan though, extremist groups, such as fascists and communists, would not be supported or allowed for entry. An invitation to this group is immediately extended to Brazil and Argentina. [Mod for American Union State support]

 

The Egalitarian Kingfish
Huey Long orders the broadcasting of a special radio speech throughout as much of the world as possible and hopes to reprint the issues and spread the speech far and wide. In this speech, President Long calls for equality for all in the world, showing how America has moved beyond its past, with all Americans being equal under the law, he believes that all other nations should adopt such policies too, as well as with colonies. He reminds the world of why America revolted in the first place, they demanded representation. The people of the world should be granted equal representation, and those countries who choose to do such are an enemy of their people. This speech would be circulated throughout the world and printed in a large number of languages. [Mod for an increased desire for freedom in parts of the world]

 

Technological Developments
NASA begins testing rocket designs in an effort to send the first rocket into space. They hope to finally breach the atmosphere. [Mod for space research]

 

President Long grants North American Aviation funds to develop their proposed North American F-86 Sabre, which would be the United States first jet fighter. The Pacific Alliance would be granted this technology upon completion. [Mod for jet fighter]

 

The United States commissions the designs for the Midway-Class Aircraft Carrier, also simultaneously commissioning the building of four of these new carriers. The Pacific Alliance would be granted this technology upon completion. [Mod for Midway-class carrier design and construction]

 

American Spies
The Director of the CIA apologizes to the Russians and agrees to remove their spies.

 

Education
The education push continues, with President Long calling for more enrollment in universities during this current year. He hopes the number of applicants will rise significantly, and that more people will pursue an education. [Mod for finishing the tech slot]

 

Foreign Investments
President Long encourages investments with the Holy Roman Dominions and following their admission into the Pacific Alliance the new tariffs are much lower than before. President Long pushes for a government investment into their modernizing industry, hoping to help bring them out of being an agricultural based society. [Mod for foreign investments in the HRD]

The 4th Council of Berlin

Protestant support for Church unification has so far been stagnant, with the Protestants still clearly against a "corrupt" Church. So, to make the Protestants open up to their Catholic brothers and sisters, the pope offers concessions.
