Kaiserreich

 

Peace had finally found its way to the Vaterland. But it was an unstable peace, with new times came change and change can be the catalyst for a number of new groups to arise.

 

As such in the hopes of continuing down a more peaceful and united path, the Kaiser and his inner circle decide it would be best if perhaps with this shift in power a hero or prominent figure from the Great War would make an excellent candidate for running for officer.

 

Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz retiring from his Naval Position as Admiral Sheer takes his place runs for the position of Chancellor with the support of the Kaiser and his staff. Having come out of the war victorious they hope that their support can help control and ensure none of the more radical elements land in office.

 

With the Industry and jobs becoming taken back by returning men from the war, and Women taking a more active role in government and daily life Industries and Business expand to account for this new available ‘Manpower’ to the Market.

 

It seems Germany has a bright future ahead of it, despite the barbarians that spread around the world.

 

-Actions-

 

As per the Congress of Vichy agreement, Germany no longer builds debt with the 4th Republic via arms sales but instead supplies food, clothing and basic materials to the French. Cause Capitalism doesn’t care who you are, only your wallet~ (Mod)

 

With elections continuing to campaign, with political parties a plenty. Democrats and Republicans receive more support from current governmental bodies, Socialists parties find themselves on the end of smear campaigns (Mod)

 

Gaining the personal recommendation from the Kaiser himself, Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz runs for Chancellor of the German Empire (Mod)

 

The Naval Project Continues (Mod, continuing)

 

The Kaiserreich continues to its work on expanding and finishing the Berlin Baghdad Railway (Mod)

 

The Kaiserreich once again devotes its resources to the navy, to build a High Seas fleet to rival Great Britain's (Mod)

 

A continued project as well, as German Army Officers focus on a weapon that can counter the British Tanks (Mod)

The Russian Union

 

The Fall of Sverdlosk

By the end of the year the Duma had celebrated the fall of the renamed city of Sverdlosk, and formally announced that Soviet rule in the city had ended, thus it had been taken at a high cost. Rather than change the name back to what it had been, the city was to be named to Brusilovo following his successful campaign in the city. Meanwhile, in Caucasia things had continued at a slower pace with the fall of Sochi and Cherkessk and a stalemate in the mountains, but this was not unexpected. Research into a true bomber model continues, and the Russian government begins the funding of potential prototypes.

 

The Moscow Film Academy

The Russian Duma would formally create and promote the Russian Film Academy in Moscow, hoping to encourage filmmaking throughout the country. The President believes film can unite and raise Russia to a new level on the world scale and hopes to begin creating movies for not only sale in Russia but eventually throughout the world. It would receive some funding from the Duma as well.

 

Romania

Russia would formally announce its support of the Romanian government and their continued independence, calling them not only a model of independence in a smaller country but a way to ensure that there is less of a threat from their former wartime enemies.

 

ACTIONS

Sverdlosk is renamed to Brusilovo after the hero of the Battle of the Railroads.

 

Research a true bomber continues.

 

The Duma creates and funds the Russian Film Academy in Moscow.

 

Romania is guaranteed by the Russian Duma and a vote is initiated to make it Union-wide.

1917 (Later Months)

 

In Spain the civil war continues to rage. By now the Catalonia and the Republicans were seizing the initiative, and beating back Spanish armies. The war continues.

 

In China the Socialist continue their sweeping reforms and persecution of civil war. By now they are almost entirely in power.

 

The Balkan Fascist all stand behind Romania, as does Russia. Emboldened by such support, Romania severs oil trade to Austria, and officially mans her border.

 

In Indonesia open revolution breaks out. It was not as clean as hoped however. Across the isles pockets of fighters occupy Dutch post. The VOC retaliates with mass killing, and it becomes all out war. On every island Dutch and natives begin to clash. Japanese arms caches are discovered in several rebel towns.

 

 Death in Caucasuia and the support of Sweden was leading to discontent with Socialist in the Rusian Union. They begin to campaign for post war elections.

 

The State of France;

 

In France the war is still raging. Trenches dot the country, and armies trample the fields into mud. The 3rd Republic was suffering the most. Her army was in outright mutiny, and mauled from several offensives. Perhaps 1 million men still served, with another 2 million conscripts. Many of her best men were dead or wounded. Petain can only clamp down on the worst of the mutiny, as committees form calling for an end to the war. The trea barring foreign intervention leaves a sour taste in their mouths. Her Air Force however was rapidly organizing, and becoming more effective.

 

The Socialist armies numbered more around 2.5 million men. However they were more motivated, and typically volunteers. They were better equipped thanks to holding most of the Industry. However they were also sick of war and demanding peace. Many wanted an end to the fight, and saw both governments as being stubborn. The divide between North and South is growing.

Ireland

 

Continued growth in Ireland mostly thanks to British benevolence continues. Several rich Irish Americans begin to invest in the larger companies in Ireland.

This Gaelic Revival is having mixed reviews to the public. The average Irishmen praised it, but plenty saw it as far too liberal. However it’s reform begin. They are yet again denied in Ulster and their federal capital however. It is not a requirement, and they do not fund it in their areas.

 

More countries begin to flood into the open irish market. Though this way they gain no income on tariffs, growth does happen faster.

 

Public works programs are falling short. Ireland was not rich enough for all these ambitious social programs. She can not simply create jobs and finance it all. Instead it is left to private enterprise to handle employment.

 

The same goes for agriculture reform. Though advanced, Ireland struggles to keep improving. Her farmer’s focus on not costly reform.

 

Again it’d be hard to create hospitals and jobs just through legislation. For now Ireland begins to form a medical board to start hiring and securing funds.

 

Japan

 

Rail works continues as planned.

 

Though many Chinese are not ‘converted’, Tanoisim begins to blend with their own growing ideologies. Socialist Students were working towards a proper Chinese state. For now relations with Japan are kept pristine, they having reached an coord.

 

The Indonesian begins to organize and arm further…

 

In China steel mills begin, but Japan has trouble hiring skilled local labor. She must import hired hands for now.

 

Austria-Hungary

 

Though opposed by the large body of conservative aristocrats, the groundwork for women suffrage is laid.

 

Infrastructure would be a very hard process in the Empire. In Austria itself work continues as planned. But each separate state such as Hungary had their own rules and regulations. Most rails ended right before the next province. It’d be a logistical and political nightmare to sway everyone’s minds.

 

Work begins to copy German schooling and French ‘Air Forces’. Recon planes are now designated Fighters or Bombers. Training begins at aerial academies, focusing on reteaching the students the basics.

 

Romania having been the one to ask for reparations in the first place is fuming. They deny it and sever ties with Austria-Hungary. Allied to Bulgaria, Greece, and potentially Serbia, she would sit within her vast fort ring.

 

Work begins on making a communications corp dedicated to laying and improving telegram wire. Accompanying them is an official Austrian messenger pigeon corp.

Argentina

 

The Students of Argentina in various cities begin to form hubs of the revolution.

 

Shifting towards socialist parties, major trade unions and other organizations extend the helping hand. They begin to work on a more reformed and united system.

 

It’ll take more time to properly re equip the army, train and recruit, and try to mass produce ships. For now Argentina focuses on arming what she already has, and recruiting. Work into three destroyers begins, and should be done within a year.

 

Without any foreign aid progress on the aerial wing is low. For now they focus on amassing the needed funds and equipment. Any pre existing planes are used to teach new cadets.

 

Argentine shipments begin reaching their comrades, helping greatly.

 

Poland

 

Education reform begins in Poland’s bigger cities, supported by all parties.

 

Though it may take longer than four years for a true industry revolution, the plans Poland lays begins. She focuses on her agriculture and rails first, with Russia needing much food.

 

Foreign aid and advisors begin to focus on Poland’s fledgling production capability. In order to ever want to arm her own armies and not rely on Imports she needed more factories. Work begins.

 

All parties begin to campaign for the 1920 elections. The Socialist still seem to hold the majority in the house.

Work on drafting the constitution begins.

 

Judges from across Poland volunteer to join this new institution. 

 

The Soldiers agree with the plan.

4th French Republic

 

This work into Pioneer implementation into army tactics will be very slow to implement. Currently the 4th Republic armies were busy enough trying to stay alive. The seeds are planted though.

 

Preferring to drink it, they regardless follow the instruction.

 

Though AA isn’t exactly in existence, heavier emplacements, watch towers, and machine gun nest are established.

 

The French industrialist can only focus on one, for now they begin preliminary works into making a working French tank.

 

Copying the Entente, the 4th Republic begins following an in depth defense strategy. They solidify supply routes.

 

Many wanted peace, and the new treaty is ill suited for both sides.

 

Great Britain

 

The British market begins to recover as the austerity lessens.

 

The HMS Argus is premiered to launch next year!

 

Tank research for now was still stuck on improving the Mk II. U.S work will be painfully slow to develop anything lighter and faster that still works. Development on an improved Mk II begins, alongside better general function. The Mk III will debut in 1918.

 

Mexico

 

Zapata and this new regime were stepping into a relatively stable Mexico. However the abrupt transition of power was leading to a growing problem. Zapata and his party ruled by the people, and were popular. But rich industrialist and conservatives feared this new turn. They begin to form societies, and arm themself out of defense.

 

In Parliament itself Zapata and his party adapt and begin to win the votes. Most MPs simply wanted a stable house.

The new Districts are put into place.

 

After the shame of the U.S border, Villa is back in! He begins work on reforming the Mexico army, using knowledge from the Cow Boy battles. Carranza’s former federal army remains aloof of the defense department.

 

Mexico begins studying and gathering old state records.

 

size0-army_mil-2008-03-28-083637.jpg

 

Sverige

 

The armies begin to entrench.

 

With nothing but poor land access to Norway and a strip of FInland, the Capitalist Swedes begin to lose the power to import.

 

The Latin aid begins to lift morale, and ease the stress of war.

 

A through conscription begins, as for nor 70k more recruits are sworn in. They begin training, unless they are deployed.

 

The propaganda begins to win over some of the more moderate Swedes.

 

3rd French Republic

 

Petain would discover as a whole the army was in poor condition. (See Above) Regardless he begins to try and turn around the army.

 

Some applaud the victory at bescanon. But many question about all the other offensives, ever since 1914. 

 

Foreign Investors are reluctant to invest in a state in the middle of civil war.

 

A little advanced for a country with no tanks, France has several different companies compete with designs. They will be drawn up and presented in 1918.

However industry was hard pressed to keep up with the army, air force, and navy, let alone a tank force.

 

United States

 

Four Year Plan continues and Rust belt continue as planned.

 

Many from states in civil war or changing government begin to come to the U.S, in a second wave.

 

Work begins into actually manufacturing these air blimps.

 

Columbia takes the money and apology.

 

Work begins on ensuring bigger cities could maintain public services to her houses. It may be more costly then expected however.

 

The Sleeper Act is passed, though it may take time to fully implement.

 

Trade with asian markets begins.

 

It will take time to make proper ‘cruiser’ tanks, as the engineers are still struggling to make an efficient tank in general.

 

Agriculture reform may fall a little more behind, with funding already elsewhere. Progress slowly begins.

 

These CSZ zones begin building.

 

Many capitalist protested Tesla’s rise. They did not agree with him, and his name was slurred. However the company begins.

 

MexBord-Troop-B-on-Main-Street.jpg

 

Brazil

 

Many Spanish aren’t eager to move to Brazil. They are focused on securing or winning assets in Spain, and profiting off the war.

 

Though not gaining power this National Unity Party certainly caught everyone’s attention. To call any Brazilian a “war hero” from the Great War is a bit of a stretch. However they gain many of the less socialist Pan Latin parties. Seats remain roughly the same, with more moderates taken by both sides.

A growing movement but not exactly popular on a national level, these various movements begin to grow.

 

All Military and Economic developments continue.

 

Germany

 

Non lethal goods begin to flow into France.

 

Socialist campaigning for themselves and well funded continue doing just that. Feeling emboldened from France, and Germany’s support of her, they gained traction. Red flags flocked Berlin as parades were held. They even clashed with extremist Army regulars, stomping them for the Kaiser. The growing divide in Germany was becoming more clear as elections arrived. They would be announced at the start of the year. Tirpitz begins campaigning, quite popular.

 

Work continues on expanding the navy and Berlin rail line.

 

Work also begins into finding a counter to tanks. For now hope is penned on static positions along trench lines, and anti-tank infantry rifles.

 

Russia

 

The new city name is a popular one.

 

Work into an improved bomber continues. Russian bombers were now comparable to the modern French or German bombers.

 

Though not exactly popular a film academy is formed.

 

Romania graciously accepts the Russian offer of protection.

 

Greater Serbia

 

Serbians begin taking the arms they had once lent.

 

Work begins on refitting car tires, and building rail lines. A resurgent Serbian economy means progress is fast.

 

The Serbian army begins to reform yet again and become smaller, yet more modern and well led.

 

Retrofitted trucks or armored cars are the start of this project. The Serbians can makese theese armored trucks, but were limited to main roads.

 

The Balkans stand firm behind Romania.

 

Montenegro officially merges with Serbia.

 

The new Serbian state was almost double it’s original population.

After difficult talks with Washington, the Zapata cabinet announces a change in the Tax Code for Petroleum services within Mexico. Wells, Refineries, and Stations owned by Non-Domestic entities will be subject to a Royalties Tax of 15% of the Value of all Oil, as well as a Government Sales Tax on Foreign Oil of 9%. Domestic Oil entities, however, are granted intense tax-breaks, provided that the saved capital is audited yearly, and shown to be invested in further sources of production. Although most of the Oil Production in Mexico is limited to American ownership, there are a handful of locally owned Wells. Many of them are situated in the new Veracruz Economic Province, along the coastline of Mexico, making transportation and shipping overseas very affordable.

Los campos de marihuana de Sinaloa.

 

A plan eagerly awaited to be put into action has finally come to start - the Tochotin Commision. As part of the greater Audit of the Country, the Agricultural Report of 1917 declared that although drought, depopulation and social conditions were restricting the agricultural capability of the nation, several fields could be notably improved upon quickly and turned towards national benefit. The Tochotin commision was formed over the first three months of 1918, to inspect and tally the current Agrarian establishments of Mexico, as well as submit suggestions for improvement.

 

Most notably of the surveyed establishments were the Marijuana plantations along the Sinaloa coastline, producing a major surplus of the active product in proportion to that consumed. Sharing these findings with the Minister of Finance and the Department of Agriculture, it has been decided to try and boost the production and sale of Marijuana domestically and internationally, in the form of raw leaves, as well as incorporating the product into Cigars and Cigarettes. Boosted by Finances from the state, a new company has been formed that sells these particular strains - Cigarros de Tlapatli. Significant entrances to the market will be expected by the later months of 1918.

 

Another find of the Techotin Commision was the discovery of small Coca farms in the Yucatan peninsula. Although the desire for Cocaine products have diminished since the 1890s, the usage is still in vogue, and popular among elites, as well as for medicinal and military applications. Work is underway to approach the Yucatan farmers with contracts to expand their plantations, or provide agricultural supplies and seed for disenfranchised peasants to settle and grow new farms.

 

Lastly, plans are drawn up to support and feed the Coffee industry in Southern Mexico.

Inmigrantes mexicanos que regresan a México desde América.

 

As many vacancies were left in all sectors of the economy during the revolution and its subsequent aftermath, labour shortages have been common in Mexico. To remedy this, the Cabinet has announced a plan to repatriate Mexican-Americans to Mexico to fill these vacancies. The standard arrangement is to pay for both the transportation of the people and their belongings out of America and through Mexico, to provide them a Settlement payment, and to ensure employment upon immigration. As it is well known that many Mexican-Americans face racism and prejudice within the United States, posters and photographs of such bigoted actions and slogans are posted around the Mexican Embassy and published in Newspapers and Journals to raise awareness of the realities of America, and contrasting them with the opportunities in Mexico.

Villa en vestido civil.

 

As part of a plan - and a compromise, General Villa has been appointed as the General of the Northern forces of Mexico, extending the regional limit of the Army’s control to six provinces - Baja, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, and Durango. Army activity, though kept somewhat secret, is still very active to the casual observer - it is clear that Villa is doing something with his forces! As part of the compromise - General Alvaro Obregon is appointed as General of the Southern Forces of Mexico - a smaller force, but still quite relevant. His territorial administration accounts for Six provinces as well, Jalisco, Guerrero, Veracruz, Oaxaca, Chilapas, and the Yucatan. Alvaro’s forces are operating under much less secrecy than Villas, and have been instrumental in clearing away remnants of the Revolution’s destruction - repairing roads, bridges, houses, irrigation, ruins, and other remnants of war.

______________________________________________________

 

Internal Reform

    Industrial growth is still the main aim of the government. Wherever possible funding is given. Once Ireland can get decently industrialized then her economy can take off and work for the lower and middle class can be plentiful.

   

    Gaelic revival policies in all but the majority protestant countries has decent public support, and most of the common folk partake in it.  All Irish men and women are urged to learn Gaelic, use it daily in all aspects of life and all Irish children are urged to join Gaelic sports teams and football teams. Boxing is also becoming popular in the rural cities and in Dublin. Many supporters of the Revival are calling it an ‘Irish renaissance’ of mending the old Gaelic ways with the new, and expressing yourself in new ways. Many Irish poets and painters are expected to flourish during these times. The heads of the movement and denounce the more liberal views that try to seep their way into the movement. If Women were to ever be seen as more equal to men it certain wouldn’t be now.

Support for the Gaelic revival and the counties who would fund the programs are the southern 25, though in the North Donegal agrees to fund the Gaelic programs. The only other major support for it in the north would be from the large number of catholic Irish in Fermanagh, and Armagh, the two northern counties with the highest catholic and Irish population besides Donegal. Though obviously their local governments wouldn’t fund them. To combat the lack of local funding, fundraisers are held and major supports of the movement in the south agree to make donations to schools to provide at least some funding for teaching Gaelic history and the Irish language, and a group of volunteer nuns called deirfiúracha na Éireann “Sisters of Ireland”

travel to Fermanagh, Armagh and areas all over the north with catholic populations giving them Irish lessons and survived off the hospitality of other Catholics.

 

   

 

    Lastly the Irish parliament votes to stimulate more economic growth in the northern part of the country especially in belfast. Ship building is again needed in Ireland. Not just small vessels either. The private sector required many transportation boats and steam ships which would call for many new jobs. The smaller vessels and few men crew ships the average person might need are set to be build in other, smaller coastal port towns to create jobs for the small town Northerner. Furthermore Northern Ireland is to be the area in which three clothing factories are built with the wool Ireland produces it seems a good idea that some of her first factories put the wool to use, the factories are to be able to employ 1,500 workers each.

xpqmdlJ-3t095g2BnR5vmgXYSV9u4Bk_dGhfc5_ZG7A-jJAfrU97VNAIttL4oUZqSZvQYamKGwmynr1eZHH4VGo59P0f6hRwLEGSUWsk-A6YT8x7Q1E7uXI3rLXhSx6HwJIQPYbX

A series of alcohol distilleries opens up around Ireland as the government sets cheap alcohol production licenses in an effort to create business as demand for alcohol is big in Ireland. Plus it's no secret Irish whisky around the world is enjoyed, hopefully they grow and are able to export as well. Just as with distilleries, this also promotes pubs since licenses are cheap and demand is high for all alcohol. And oh man do the Irish love to drink.

And to be able to make enough uniforms the Irish National Army makes two of its own clothing factories to mass produce the uniforms and store them until needed. These facilities are to be built in rural ireland, and bigger than the others opening in the north capable of hiring up to 3000 irish workers per factory, and once enough are streamlined and stockpiled the two factories will be allowed to fill civilian orders for  clothing

  • Ship building in Northern Ireland particularly in Belfast and the surrounded area see a rise in orders for ships as the newly independent country lacked many civilian transport ships, trade vessels or anything really. As all usually went to England. [mod]

  • Gaelic Revival policies are enforced in 26 of the counties, and in Fermanagh and Armagh fundraisers and donations by prominent figures and supports of the movement provide funds  for Irish Catholics to learn Irish, and Gaelic history. Also it is made clear the main supporters of the movement don’t share the socialist views as some in the movement. And it is let known that in Ireland it is not yet time for such drastic social changes as women playing sports alongside men. [Mod]


 

  • Ireland invites Russia to trade with them, and also the two Scandinavian countries not in a civil war. And asks all three if they would like to invest in Ireland or open up businesses there. [mod]

  • to be able to make enough uniforms the Irish National Army makes two of its own clothing factories to mass produce the uniforms and store them until needed. These facilities are to be built in rural Ireland, and bigger than the others opening in the north capable of hiring up to 3000 Irish workers per factory,but mostly as Ireland's army isn’t huge the main use of the factories would be civilian use. funding for this project is secured via Britain. [mod]

  • Ireland keeps up her message to the world that she’s open for business and worthy of investment given the good progress she’s already made. [mod]

  • A series of alcohol distilleries opens up around Ireland as the government sets cheap alcohol production licenses in an effort to create business as demand for alcohol is big in Ireland. It is hoped they grow and begin exporting Irish whisky around the world. Not only that but lowering the cost of getting a license to operate a pub means MORE PUBS!

  • A division of Irish volunteers is sent to France to gain fighting experience on the side of the 4th republic. [mod]

THE RED MENACE

 

As communism continues to strange the nations of the world Italy with the support of her King and many other nationalists who the King in recent months has continued to rally around him has called for direction intervention to stop the threat of a red scare in Italy by exerting her influence on a more global scale, as to be perceived as the new power she is.

Military support is offered to all countries fighting a socialist uprising including Sweden, France and the Russian Union. Mussolini in a rally of nationalists in Rome called it


“The greatest threat to the security and safety of everyday God fearing Italians is the threat of the Godless Socialist threat! Who seek to do nothing but suffocate our freedom and our nationalist spirit!”

 

  • Mussolini and leading nationalists in the fascist party call for the formation of a Blackshirt movement of loyal and capable Italians willing to lay down their lives for King and country. Made up mostly of ex-military personnel.


 

  • fascists in government call a vote of no confidence in the aging Prime Minister claiming him to no longer be fit for office! Demanding an election be called. Rallying support from ex military and patriots from around Italy who feel italy could've done better than a desert!

 

  • industry is continually invested and opted for by the government calling it “best for business” to continue shopping! This is hoped to restart civilian economy once more and invite investment and opportunity in italy, encouraged by the economic policies laid down prewar.

 

  • The government expands a military order and asks for a build up of new fighter planes and bombers to be used and  produced on a massive scale. With over 500 planes ordered over a 3 year period, by putting to work as many people in the industry business, and hoping to expand already established businesses to grow into the rural south.

CHUU CHUU, HERE COMES THE TRAIN. Railwork continues in China. This year the goal which is aimed for is to have finished a railway connection to all of occupied China’s cities and major settlements. [MOD]

 

Seeing the horrified attrocities commited by the Dutch brave journalists and photographers are encouraged and allowed to go to Indonesia. They are ordered/reccomended to make phots of the VOC commiting atrocities and then publicise these photos. These are then to spread around Asia and the West to show the atrocities being commited against the judge and turning international opinion against them. [MOD]

 

Meanwhilst Japanese soldiers and those soldiers interested are allowed to join a division of volunteers. This division is to fight in Indonesia and only consists of real volunteers. These soldiers are to primarily aid Indonesian troops on the isle of Java. Meanwhilst the Japanese navy is sent to practice their speciality once more, blockade. The Japanese navy whilst not stopping food transport will stop the transport of any Dutch troops to the Indonesian peninsula and forecefully redirect weapon shipments to the natives [MOD]

 

-In the major cities of China, at least the ones connected with a railway, high schools are set up. These high schools are set up in order to educate the Chinese youth in the ideals of Tanoism but more importantly to educate skilled laborers. This is done so as to ensure that in the future the empire will not suffer from a lack of skilled laborers. As was being showcased in the Western part of the empire at this moment. [MOD]

 

-The voting for the well...... voting laws begin. The voting is concerned with lowering the wealth requirement of voting to the level that the middle class can vote for the Japanese Diet. However, there is no full-fledged universal male suffrage yet. The government encourages this bill to pass whilst the Japanese meritocratic party dutifully supports it. [MOD]

Imperial Palace, Vienna, 1918

 

“Our concerns about Romania are reaffirmed, with the Russian declaring they will support Romanian Independence, it is clear that despite calling for neutrality, it was actively aiding the Entente that invaded our homeland and killed our people. Now is the time for retribution. If the Russians wish to break the peace between our two nations, they may, and as a result, face the ire of this entire region, for it will plunge us all into chaos.”

 

“And to even think that our fair ally, the Kingdom of Serbia would favor their idea for a pan-Slavic state over their brothers in arms. While we fought on the front lines together, what was Romania doing for Serbia? Supplying the enemies of our nations is what they were doing, actively participating in the killing of our populace! The Romanian Dog must be put down!

 

After a fair bit of discussions, the Councillors settled down, ending their conference with the following.

 

“Operation Falk has been expanded to the entirety of our borders in line with, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Serbia.”

 

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

 

At a later date in the year, a grand assembly had been called forth to Vienna, consisting of the entirety of the Imperial Nobility and much more, it would be a day that would make history, the Emperor himself having been designated as the fore-speaker.

 

“Despite the growing hostilities on all our front, I do see fit to announce and enforce the following; the revolutionary reform that will grant our Empire the ability to seize absolute power and project strength at a considerable level.”

 

“His Imperial Majesty does hereby declare to all, the reformation of the Empire of Austria-Hungary! No longer shall we toil amongst ourselves and feud and bicker, let us rejoice at the coming of the reformed, UNITED KINGDOMS OF GREATER AUSTRIA.”

 

Coronation ceremonies are initiated throughout the Empire as the selected few are elevated to the ranks of monarchs, lavish occasions and projection of power in which the Imperial State funds partly. The following monarchs are the legitimate rulers of their nations, beholden only to the Imperial Crown itself;

 

His Royal Majesty, the King of Galicia, Louis Leopold Poniatowski. Under his jurisdiction, the Polish people of Greater Austria. His Capital, Krakow.

 

His Royal Majesty, the King of Lodemaria, and Grand Duke of Bukovina, Myron Tarnavsky. Under his jurisdiction, the Ruthenian and Ukrainian people of Greater Austria. His Capital, Lviv.

 

His Royal Majesty, the King of Bohemia, Alois Lexa von Aehrenthal. Under his Jurisdiction, the Bohemian Czechs. His Capital, Prague.

 

His Grace, the Grand Duke of Slovakia, Manfred von Clary-Aldringen. Under his Jurisdiction, the Slovaks of Slovakia. His Capital, Bratislava.

 

Under direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Heartland, the Kingdom of Croatia and Duchy of Carniola.

 

The Hungarian delegates are given time to settle amongst themselves the issue of selecting a monarch to serve their Kingdom.


IMPERIAL STATE OF AFFAIRS

Civilian Affairs

The Emperor's trip around the Empire was no leisurely voyage, he had consolidated his control by visiting the estates of his key vassals throughout the Empire, and organizing them all together for the establishment of the United Kingdoms. The United Kingdom model closely follows the United States of America, although with a more Imperialistic fashion to it - it primarily focuses upon fixing the tensions between ethnicities in the Empire, by categorizing and properly representing them.

 

The Emperor himself enforces the construction of the rail lines that was halted earlier this year, irritated that his vassals would oppose the connecting of the States. He uses whatever means necessary to eliminate the opponents towards such attempts, using coercion and Mexican gold to bribe officials.

 

As sophisticated civilian vehicles hit the road, a series of infrastructural commandments are issued out and expected to be completed by the regional governments. Focusing primarily on expanding roads and establishing roadworks to isolated pockets of land in all Imperial Kingdoms.

 

Despite leaving the Central Alliance, the Baghdad-Berlin Continental Railway continues construction through the lands owned by the Empire. Construction even being supplemented by Imperial work-crews.

 

Auditioners from the Imperial Heartlands are sent out in droves to inspect the lands and its people in order to figure out what issues may plague the Empire during this time of hostilities.

 

Military Affairs

An increased amount of activity can be seen from the area of the Imperial Navy dockyards in the leased Dalmatian ports in Serbian Territory. The locations in which Austrian ships were designated to station at are now quarantined and do not permit any Serbian officials entry.

 

While the newly established monarchs of the Empire settle in and shape their government up, the Austrian Gendarmerie continues the policing of the Emperor’s vassals territories in order to keep public order until the vassals establish their own effective police force.

 

The entirety of the Imperial Standing Army is mobilized from their bases and shipped off on trains to their designated rallying points across the Empire’s borders. At which point, army engineers will initiate the construction of various defense networks. Utilizing their experience from the Great War with a mix of experimenting, the defenses would be formidable as they operate under peace time. Foreigners would be able to see recon balloons and blimps floating along the borders, and vast amounts of infantry constructing defenses, with Austrian air squadrons flying in formations high above.

 

The Empire once again converts most of its economy to match a war-time pace - producing small arms in the thousands while working on a way to best streamline the production of artillery pieces and aircrafts.

 

Foreign Affairs

The newly reformed Empire now severs all diplomatic ties with the Central Powers Alliance, though commerce and economy shall still flourish between their nations freely, the Imperial Council sees no reason to continue having its destiny controlled by its former allies.

 

Free trade is established between the State of Mexico and the United Kingdoms, primarily focused between the transfer of Austrian small-arms weaponry and ammunition, and Mexican exotic goods and gold.

 

A series of telegrams are sent to the Sovereign of the Serbian Kingdom, instructing them to not partake in hostile actions towards the United Kingdoms of Austria should it ever come to such a situation.


IMPERIAL ACTIONS

  • The Austro-Hungarian Empire is reformed into the United Kingdoms of Greater Austria.

  • Railway construction that was halted earlier in the year due to regional differences is enforced by show of force, bribery and coercion by the Emperor. The plan is to construct a sophisticated railway system that connects the major cities of the Empire as well as given way to military usage during mobilization.

  • General roadworks continue throughout the Empire as it attempts to connect and improve the flow of traffic to even the most remote pocket of citizenry.

  • Berlin-Baghdad Railway continues through the Empire without any hassle.

  • Imperial Auditioners sent out to inspect the status of the Empire and its people in order to best pinpoint any issues that may be apparent. [Mod]

  • The Navy based out of the leased dockyards in Dalmatia (Serbian Owned Territory) undergoes a lockdown, preventing any Serbian officials from entering, while minimizing their activities.

  • Imperial Heartland Gendarmerie continues the policing of the Emperor’s vassals territories until they are capable of establishing themselves their own organizations.

  • The entire standing army of the Empire is mobilized and stationed along the borders of the following countries, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Italy. Sophisticated defense systems are established wherever the army engineers go.

  • The economy switches back to a war-time one, mass-producing the necessary tools required to maintain a war. Special equipment like artillery and aircrafts are experimented around with in order to best manufacture on-mass.

  • Bunch of player interactment.

Overview Early 1918

The Polish Government would find itself surprised to find Austrian Divisions moving on its border, moreso surprised when the Austrian Empire raises an apparent ‘Pole’ King. Chief of State and Marshal of the Armed Forces Jozef Pilsudski would issue a statement towards the Austrian Empire and its Government on behalf of Poland

 

“The Austrian Emperor and his cabinet are risking upsetting the status quo and bringing Eastern and Central Europe into all out war again. We issue a warning to move all troops off of our border and the borders of Ukraine, Romania and Greater Serbia.”

 

Privately it is said Pilsudski condemns the Puppet King of Poles in Austria, expressing a wish to see him hung. Nevertheless the Pilsudski and his Nationalists have a plan and they intend on sticking to it. They would seek out Adam Michał Czartoryski a boy Prince in Poland and begin educating him.

 

Domestic Political Policy

 

It is announced that 1930 a Plebiscite will be had to determine whether or not Poland will be a Republic or a Constitutional Monarchy to have a cultural head of state though having the Government be democratic. The Nationalists announce this as their official party policy. It is stated it is announced this far in advance so a proper selection for the proposed Monarch should the Plebiscite find itself in favour of a Constitutional Monarchy the transition can be quick. (Mod)

The Nationalists would announce that they would seek to allow women the right to vote and work within Poland. (Mod)

 

Jozef Pilsudski would begin campaigning his Nationalists for the upcoming 1920 Election, emphasising the Nationalists securing the Country, upholding the rights of the people of all classes. Though he would ensure not to insult the Moderate Socialists as not to alienate them. The main goal would be getting support from Nationalists, Conservatives and other Moderates. (Mod)

 

Domestic Economic Policy

 

The Four Year Plan continues its focus, 1918 would be the year of Agriculture and Railways to connect the State of Poland to the rest of the Russian Union and a sustainable agriculture so they can feed themselves and assist the Russians. (Mod)

 

Subsequent Four Year Plans are planned after the initial plan has occurred, improving and innovating off the successes and failures from the first. (Mod)

 

The Polish Arms Industry would be built up in line with the foreign aid, investors and advisers from Britain, seeking to make enough arms to supply the army. (Mod)

 

Military Policy

 

The Polish Army would mobilise on the Polish border with Austria to combat the potential invasion from the Austrian Empire and its United Kingdoms. Defences would be made and the troops would move to dig themselves in effectively. (Mod)

 

The Poles would seek to train a reservist program, in order to get the potential total troop count in the case of war. However this would be voluntary and would not intend to take working men out of the workforce. (Mod)

 

Research

 

The Poles would seek to look into the concepts of tanks, this Project is aimed to be long term to draw up designs of a prototype Tank. (Mod)

The 4th French Republic

Outrage in Bordeaux!

 

Early in 1918 was finally when the 3rd Republican dogs finally came to their senses. A conference to negotiate a peace was hosted in Bordeaux, the now capital of the 3rd Republic. The 4th rejoiced at such an opportunity to finally end the fighting. However the conference they  arrived at was far from civil. Even after hours of attempts to find common ground, the 3rd Republican officials opposed them at every turn, attempts of mediation and negotiation were for not. One of the delegates dispatched by the Fourth Republic, Andrien Jeannin reportledy wept when it became evident no resolution would reached and France would remain in flames. This was simply another offense to add to the list of 3rd Republican betrayals and atrocities.  

______________________________________________________________________________

The Revolution Under Threat!

(Chancellor Jean Jaures, delivers a speech in one of the previously war torn cities on his tour of the front)

 

Following the recent victories and shortcomings of both the population and the N.L.A. Chancellor Jean Jaures decides to embark on a tour of the wartorn and frontline areas of the 4th Republic. Aboard Faucheux’s Aurora  the Chancellor visits city after city, garrison after garrison speaking and re-invigorating the 4th Republic in the war effort. Behind him and aboard the Aurora aid to any man, woman, or child in need is given.

 

On June 25th, hundreds gathered as Chancellor Jean Jaures began his speech. For hours he called to the masses, primarily speaking of the the recent Royalist Uprisings;“Not only does the fate of France hang in the balance my fellow countrymen, but now the fate of the revolution! Rise up my countrymen, take up arms! First the royalists will fall! first to Brittany and onwards to Bordeaux!” Jean Jaures proclaimed with thunderous applause.

 

Across the 4th Republic this new narrative was distributed en masse. Revolutionaries preached in squares. Leaflets and posters dotted the walls of alleyways and streets. The chaos caused by Monarchist militant groups was far to great, and would never happen again. The Republic’s propaganda and indoctrination effort was ramped up ten fold. No longer were the citizens of the republic fighting and dying for France, but the entirety of the revolution. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. A defeat at the hand of the Royalist or 3rd Republic would spell oppression and certain destruction.

 

Additionally, a call to all socialists or sympathizers living under the rule of the Royalist or 3rd Republican governments are urged to rise up or join the 4th Republics cause.

______________________________________________________________________________

Charles Faucheux, the Lion of Paris

 

Paris was once more in chaos, underground monarchist and conservative cells attempted to rise up and seize the capital. Only the brave actions of the N.L.A garrison and brave partisan fighters prevented the capital’s fall. At their helm was Charles Faucheux; After the success of the spring offensive in the south he returned to Paris on leave. Shortly after his arrival Paris was once more thrown into chaos. Faucheux, the highest ranking officer in the vicinity was thrust into command. He gallantly took command of all available forces and began a ruthless series of counter offensives, destroying rebel cell one after another. Only scattered remnants now remain of the rebels and their hopeless position, beset by the N.L.A and Faucheux, the Lion of Paris.

 

For his brave actions in Paris, the overall success of his IX Corp, and his contributions to the N.L.A. Faucheux was promoted personally by Chancellor Jaures to the rank of Brigadier General, and placed in command of N.L.A 1st Army. Across the city, Parisians hail him as the ‘Lion of Paris’ his deeds were printed far and wide across the Republic only adding to his popularity and branding him a National Hero.

______________________________________________________________________________

Founding of D.G.E.S

 

Following the humiliating breach of national security, and the failure of the N.L.A to crush armed insurrection before it could begin; The 4th Republic passes several acts, designed to improve the internal security of the republic. The first of these is I Act of National Security, the act founds DGES, or the Directorate-General for External Security. The new organization would be an intelligence agency designed to regulate and improve the national security of the 4th Republic. It would be comprised of paramilitary and retired military personnel. The chosen director of the newly founded agency is Pierre Dupout. A former general of the N.L.A and commander of the 1st Army. Due to his aging condition he was placed into a position more fit for his skill sets while Faucheux assumes command of the 1st Army.

 

Upon its creation, the DGES would immediately begin work. The training of agents began, as well as programs to begin insert informats all across France.

Across the 4th Republic’s vast industrial sector riots had erupted in coordination with the rise of the Monarchists in the West. This was a problem that could not last, the 4th Republic immediately deploys available N.L.A  reserves and police forces should the riots begin to escalate into full fledged rebellion. The companies and businesses in ownership of rioting institutions are ordered to immediately resolve the situation. Companies who disperse and root out such anti-revolution behavior most efficiently are rewarded with subsides. Those who fail will risk nationalization.

______________________________________________________________________________

Chancellor Jean Jaures begins a large scale tour of the front and the country as a whole; he aims to raise morale of both civilians and soldiers. The socialist cause is rebranded not only as a fight for France but a fight for the world

THE EMPIRE OF BRAZIL

 

WAR WITH THE NETHERLANDS

As the war in Indonesia picked up steam, Brazil officially declares war on the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in support of her close ally, the Empire of Japan. This declaration of war is followed by immediate naval actions against Dutch ships and shipping in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, along with an invasion of Dutch Guiana.

 

FRENCH GUIANA

As the French Civil War continues in all its terrible fury, a decision was made deep in the Imperial Palace in Rio de Janeiro. French Guiana, long a mistreated and misruled colony, is occupied by Corps III of the Imperial Brazilian Army, numbering 40’000 men.

 

Advancing swiftly along the coast, the 3rd Corps engages any French colonials and simply attempts to bring the main population centres under Brazilian control. Additionally, food and medical aid are distributed to the populace, long victims of European greed.

 

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Brazilian industrial development continues, with increased funding being set aside for development of mining and industry in reclaimed rainforest, as well as for the continued development of industry in the coastal cities.

 

FRONTINISM

The Brazilian Ideology, Frontinism, has not stopped or slowed down despite the failure to seize power in the latest election. Speeches, rallies and events are held daily in Brazil, and the Frontinists publish an economic plan, the 4 Year Plan, which largely operates around continued industrialisation and a renewed focus on social responsibility.

 

The Frontinists coin the term “A strong Brazilian is a strong Brazil.” and begin to promote strong militant nationalism.

 

All across South America, the Frontinist movement begins to grow, with a rise in Pan-Latin nationalism and South American militarism, as more and more propaganda is churned out and the movement continues to expand, with the focus being placed on a strong, united and indivisible South America.
