Indonesia
Since the Siamese declined our offer of peace for the return of Sumatra, we have begun sending 100,000 soldiers to retake the island after a recent draft.

We also ask for the assistance of The Great Korean Empire in our struggle against the Siamese.

(OOC: Just so you know GKE if you don't already, I'm controlling NPC's, that's why I'm controlling Indonesia.)

[The Great Korean Empire]

The GKE will remain neutral in that conflict for now, however we will send weapons and supplies to you.

[Oceasia]

New Offer: I give up Sumatra, and you will continue trading with me like what civilized nations do.

The Élysée Palace was busier than usual today. Throughout the entire day many officials have been running in and out of the prime minister's office. The Foreign Affairs staff have been streaming in and out for the entire day. War has broken out in North America and the Pacific. Seeing how Paris has had many treaties signed here, maybe another war can be ended within the city limits again.

Hello my name is Mathis Duval, Prime Minister of the Third French Republic. I am aware that sometimes as people we do not see eye to eye on certain issues, but as leaders of powerful states we have the capacity to do great good or harm depending on how we use our power. With that in mind we must excercise power with due caution lest we must pay the price of war with the blood of the innocent. I call upon all of you to come to Paris for a conferance. My government shall provide lodging and appropriate meeting place to discuss our current grievences. All leaders shall be welcomed and treated as equals in the pursuit of peace.
Sincerly,
Prime Minister Duval

[Kengburg]

Nanjing, China
The Governmental Palace is a grand and artistic compound situated just outside the city. Styled in the fashion of the Chinese emperors it is a modern tribute to a proud heritage, and the estate of Lin Sen, esteemed President of The Republic and honorable representative of the people. He sat under a sleek, red polished, Asian gazebo whilst enjoying a steaming cup of his favorite Oolong tea, grown in the Gardens around him with other plants. During his daily sitting he meditated about many things, the ever escalating conflict between The Republic, The Warlords, and especially The Communists, and what would happen if he failed to drive off these threats. Suddenly, in the midst of his meditation, his secretary Gao-Dong came rushing through the garden paths towards Lin, he nearly fell in a Peony bush twice. Finally, he reached the President, panting, and said "Leader, I have the report you requested!" Lin chuckled as he grabbed the file from Gao's hand, he then studied the papers inside.

Lin then spoke to Gao "Good, good, I believe we are ready to strike back against the rebels. What would you say?" Gao responded "We will be ready when you command, sir." Lin then took another sip of his tea "Let us meet with the generals tomorrow."

President Rasmussen and his Cabinet fly on the government's plane, and were attacked while flying above Alsace-Lorraine! We believe that Nazi Germany were the attackers, since we were near enemy territory, but we're not sure. Luckily they were able to escape and come to Paris safely. This is President Karl Rasmussen's statement at the meeting: "Today, my Cabinet and I were attacked, presumably by Nazi Germany. I ask that all nations will please help my nation during these terrible times. But I come to address the issues facing us today. On the issue of the USA-CSA war, the USR asks for an immediate cease fire and for the status quo ante bellum. For the current World War, the USR maintains its position on being a member of the allies and its position on Anti-Imperialism."

Australia's Foreign minister arrived in Nazi Germany and was just checking out of the Australian embassy when one of his diplomats gave him a telegram. It was from the governor-general The Prime minster is dead. Violent republican movements have risen throughout the country and the government is running out of options. They have instructed the foreign minister to proceed to the Paris Peace conference and make sure Australia has their own agenda, so that the rebellion would be pleased. He was warned that the insurgents had already captured Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and were converging on Canberra. It was clear that the rebels would take power sooner rather than later.

When Foreign Minister Billey Hughes arrived, he was told by a diplomat that the rebels had just taken power and that he was no longer foreign minster and that he now was. This dipomat's name was Leslie Morshead. He had commanded some Australian forces at Gallipoli. Hughes chose to return to the Mother country. Morshead meanwhile headed to the delegation. When he arrived he introduced himself and informed all the delegates of the situation in Australia. He was clear in saying that Australia would be making it's own decisions now; unlike the previous government that had fought with the mother country. He also presented each member nation of the delgation with their new flag; that of the Eureka stockade, the Southern Cross. Unfortunatley, since the stockade, bogan elements of Australia had been using the flag, but these elements of Australia were kicked out of the country into the new protecterate of Australia, Western Australia. Australia wishes for peace. We also wish for an end to Imperialism, in all forms; European, Asian, American or African. We want a FREE world. France sees what we see. That is why we are passing legislation that will grant Papua New Guinea independence. We will guarentee their independence and anyone who attack them is attacking us. We wish for world peace, but that requires everyone's participation. So I ask you all, are we to achieve world peace?

"Welcome gentlemen, I hope France has been to your liking. Unfortunately other nations have not arrived yet, but that doesn't mean we can't sit down and talk about issues concerning our nations." Duval motioned the Australian and Scandinavian delegations to a conference room in the Palais Bourbon. The news of Germany attacking a plane flying over French airspace was troubling. Duval mentally filed away that issue for further thought.

"President Rasmussen, I mean this with the utmost respect, but I have to ask if you are sure that it was Germans who attacked your plane? I think we all know the implications if that is true. Foreign Minister Hughes, I have heard of the internal turmoil of your country. Is there anything that the I can do to help?

Duval called in an aide during lunch to dispatch a squad of Chasseurs Alpins to investigate the border in Alsace. It never hurts to check up on these things the prime minister thought.

Ambassador Salif Keita made it to the palace in Paris, France for the meeting with President Duval. He had two bodyguards following him up the front steps to the door.

"Hé toi, arrête tout de suite, Qui êtes-vous," said a palace guard.

Salif told him, "I'm an ambassador from Mali and I'm here to see Duval."

Another guard went to check Salif for weapons, "No weapons in the palace," he said. Salif pushed him and the other guard away with his guards following him. He walked around the palace, a bit lost, but too arrogant to admit it, until he heard some talking behind closed doors. He pushed open the doors with great force. As the doors slammed back into the walls with a bang, he announced loudly, throwing his arms out and with a smile on his face, "Sorry I was late. Oh, and sorry about the vase there," pointing towards the shattered remains caused by one of the doors. He took a seat nearest to him with his guards standing behind.

He expected more people to show. Duval was sitting directly at the other side of the table from him, and there were two other men that he had not seen before seated near him. "Alright, let's get down to business."


On the South European coast.
8 divisions of 25,000 Malian soldiers reached the coast of Europe heading towards The Greater German Reich. They will attack along the entire southern border of GGR towards the capital, Berlin. Another 2 divisions are rounding to the Northwest side of Germany and will attack from the Netherlands and Denmark.

Australian foreign minister Leslie Morshead was talking to the Swedish foreign minister when a diplomat on his team arrived with a telegram. It read:
"Dear Sir,

We have recieved news from Europe that a German plane was spotted in French territory without permission. We are worried about this and we want you to get this clarified with the French government ASAP. On another note, we want you to extend a trade mission with the Scandinavians. If when you clarify the situation with the French government as to what happened, you find out that the Germans did not have permission, the Australian government authorises and would like you to offer a military alliance with the French. The Germans have violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and we will not stand for it.

I am sir, In you service,
The President of Australia

We are not entirely sure, but we saw a Luftwaffe plane flying away while we were crashing. Scandinavian Intelligence is currently investigating the situation.

[Senihai]

The 14th Dalai Lama walked through the gates of the Tibet Defence Force armoury at Lhasa, with his attendees following behind him. The gate guard bowed and called the others "The Dalai Lama is in the household!". The guard then greeted him smiling, showering him with warm welcomes. Then he questioned, "My Holiness, are you here for the inspection? We have been preparing." To this the Dalai Lama nodded and said "Yes my friend, I have come to see were all those Tangkas have been going" he laughed, his soft young voice giving a warm hearted feeling.
The guard gave a short chuckle then scuttled off, leading him into the expansive courtyard. There in front of him some 200 warriors of the Defence Force stood, dressed in chain mail and flamboyant battle dress. They were armed with Lee-Metfords, smuggled in from Imperial India decades ago and steel swords. They were outdated but they were all they had.
The Dalai Lama frowned inwardly. He wished all this wasn't necessary. But the outsiders were often ignorant and ignorance bred violence. His land, the sanctuary of his people and the peace of the Buddha. Also, the violence of the fall of the Qing Dynasty was still fresh, despite all these years that have passed. Communist forces have been spotted near the border, armed, squatting in border villages for food. Their war threatened the peace of Tibet.
And so the Spiritual Warriors had abandoned their virtious peaceful lives to protect their nation, which lessened their bad karma.

Then they showed him their firing skills. The Dalai Lama felt like a parent being showed something that he did not like but the child was proud of. Covering his ears from the sharp bangs of the guns and occasional coughs from the thick smoke, he forced to smile back at the cheering soldiers. Then they did a demonstration of their six Vickers machine guns. The Dalai Lama was saddened by the amount of destruction it poured out of its unassuming barrel but his generals reassured him that this would maintain continued peace.
