French Republic The 1940 Election After the radical Xavier Vallat wrestled away control of the Republican France party from Louis Marin, no one knew where the World War 1 vet would lead the party. The accused anti-semite heavily toned down his rhetoric in favor of appealing to the masses, though the nationalist sentiment was clear in every speech. After two years of constant attacks on “Stalin’s Waterboy” the Republican France party was able to pick up an additional 46 seats, making them the largest party in parliament. After forming a coalition with AD-RI party Xavier Vallat was named Prime Minister of France, vowing to restore a national glory to France unseen since the days of the First French Empire. The Rhineland After word first broke of troops entering the outskirts of the Rhineland, Xavier realized he must act where his predecessors would not. A partial mobilization was immediately ordered of 10% of all reservists, planning to primarily place them on the Maginot Line, while the active French Military is placed on High Alert. A short early morning broadcast announced a speech later in the night from Prime Minister Vallat. (mod) The Military Xavier recognized the need for change, despite the pressing concerns in the Rhineland. While Blum tried unsuccessfully multiple times to reduce the military while also doing his best to stunt its growth, Vallat planned to bring about a different type of change to the French military. New and experimental General Charles de Gaulle is placed in overseeing changes in doctrine due to his radical belief in using tanks, with the aid of the British military advisers. (mod) The Committee of Progress The Committee of Progress was established shortly after Vallat arrived into office. Organized at Ecole Polytechnique, École des ponts ParisTech, Université de Technologie de Compiègne and Univérsité de Lille. Despite its flowery name, the Committee of Progress was comprised of the nations top nuclear scientists to build on nuclear fission and potentially weaponize it. Bertrand Goldschmidt is placed in charge of the project, recruiting the nations top scientists to further organize and plan the project. (mod) Foreign Affairs The British Ambassador is welcomed and quickly ushered into high level meetings with Prime Minister Vallat. British offers of aid to improve the Maginot line are accepted, with plans being drawn up in preparation. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Paul Reynaud plans a trip to both China and Japan to discuss future relations between the countries. GIAT Industries The French Republic launches GIAT Industries, a nationalized arms company with the hope of keeping most weapons production done in-house. A program is announced for 100% loan repayment for out of college engineers who work 5 years at GIAT Industries with the hope of attracting some of the nations top young engineers. (mod) Internal Affairs The General Directorate for Internal Security is established, an internal security agency it is tasked with counter-espionage, counter-terrorism and the surveillance of potential threats on French territory. (mod) Roughly 200 million Francs are planned to be spent on transportation projects across the country, primarily in roads and railroads. (mod) Research The Committee of Progress takes up a significant portion of the Government Research Budget GIAT Industries is given funding for the design and creation of a weapon similar to the M1 Garand, hoping to slightly improve on and put forward a standard semi-auto that could be mass produced for the Republic. (mod) The Rhineland Speech Xavier Vallat addressed the people of France at half past eight, reaching out to the hearts of the people. “I reach out of the People of our glorious Republic for there is a red tiger that wishes to destroy upon the way of life we have established. It is in times like this that we must remain steadfast. The Germans once agreed upon a lasting peace, yet now it has become clear the Germans are uninterested in prosperity. They wish to once again bring war to our continent with hope of spreading their plague upon each and every Frenchman.” The speech continued on for some time before coming to its conclusion “I present a simple choice to the German People, restore Versailles and continue to abide by it, or risk causing irrevocable harm to your nation. If we do not see steps toward restoring Versailles within 72 hours, the French Republic will have no choice but to act.”
