Surge of Empires (IC/OPEN)

It is November, 1944. 2 years ago, the Nazis defeated the Soviet Army in Stalingrad, which allowed the Germans to launch another massive offensive all across the Eastern Front, which led to the capture of Moscow and the execution of Joseph Stalin and much of Soviet Military Command, and a German Victory on the Soviet Front.

With a seemingly limitless supply of oil to fuel the German War Machine, the Nazis would stomp down the Allied Forces in Africa with a swift and deadly blow known as Operation Golden Eagle. Benjamin Montgomery was executed, and all Allied Influence in Africa was purged.

In a desperate attempt to defeat the Nazis, the Allies would launch a massive amphibious assault on June 6th, 1944, targeting Normandy. However, the Germans were well-prepared for such an attack, and the invasion failed miserably, leading to the deaths of over 50,000 Allied Soldiers.

When D-Day failed, the United States would sign a peace treaty with the Germans and pull out of the War. Britain, now exhausted and not capable of defeating the Axis, also signed a treaty with the Germans. The War was over in Europe, and the dominant Germans would flex their strength.

In the Pacific, however, the United States and Australia attempt to battle the Empire of Japan, which still maintains a significant grip over the Pacific Theatre. Empires grow while others topple... just make sure you make the right choices...

The Reichstag, Berlin

Thousands of spectators had gathered to watch what had probably been the most important event in German History since the unifying of the German States in 1871. Swastika Flags flew high in the air, citizens yelled "SEIG HEIL!" and "HEIL HITLER!" with a passion. Why would they not? The War in Europe was over, and the Great and Powerful Third Reich had planted their flag in almost every European nation. Vengeance was sweet. The Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, the man behind it all, raised his arm in salute of the German People. He looked proud, happy, like a man of pure success. He cleared his throat, the speaking died down, and his speech would be broadcast across the entire world...

"My German brothers and sisters, today is a day in which we shall celebrate! Since 1939, when our glorious and brave defenders of the Fatherland began the Great Crusade to bring power back to the German Race, who TRULY deserve it, our nation, our people, have stayed together, unified under the same love for Germany. Millions of young patriots answered the call of the Fatherland, answered the call of your freedom, and with souls of steel, they went foreword. And now, 5 years later, our great nation has conquered the French, the Polish, the Communists, and the Jews, as well as defeating the United States of America, Britain, and COUNTLESS other nations! Our empire spans from dawn to dusk, from home to frontier, and we have ourselves to thank! You stood together as a race, as a people, and have claimed victory. For victory is the only option in war! Defeat is not! You have shown the world that no matter what, our people shall never fall.... EVER! Bask in the glorious victory my friends... you've earned it"

Berlin, and all of the German Empire, began to roar with pride...

The Imperial Japanese Empire, Tokyo
旧日本帝国

''To live for a thousand years, Our Empire must purge the earth from Inferiority''

''私たちの帝国は劣等感から地球をパージする必要があり、千年のために生きるため''

Tokyo is the largest city in the Japanese Homeland. Home to some one million elites, A great statue is being erected. Emperor Hirohito is revered as a god by Hundreds of millions in the Japanese Empire. His family has purged Tokyo of foreigners and unwanted guests. Everyone with European ancestors within two generations were forced into labor camps in China. Hirohito dreams to transform the empire as the beacon of Cultural advancement and Technological superiority. Tens of thousands gathered outside the Imperial Palace. ''People of the Japanese Empire. We will witness the descendants of the Ming Dynasty bowing and owing their allegiance to our great Empire. the Self proclaimed Emperor in Exile, Emperor Chousun. We will witness the Chinese, who we owe our knowledge to bowing to our empire!'' the great crowd cheered and chanted Japanese prayers for their emperor. Temples all over the empire rang their bells in celebration of the capitulation of China. The Chinaman, dressed in traditional royal outfit walked through the staircase and bowed down to Hirohito. ''China will owe it's newfound independence to Japan. Mao's resistance will fall.'' Hirohito smiled as he patted the Chinaman. The flag of China, Communist China and Ming China were paraded and was burnt in front of the Japanese Flag. Thousands cheered their victory.

Hirohito, after the celebrations then proceeded back to his Imperial Palace. He then noticed that the generals were waiting him the war room. ''Emperor Hirohito, we calculate that the Americans will strike us back in Midway. We also noticed Australian movements down south. Mitsubishi gave us a memo about more Chinese workers to construct more Planes and tanks. Should we force the Populace to do so?'' the
General spoke. ''Yes, i agree. I shall put on an Imperial decree by tomorrow.'' Hirohito replied. ''We also calculate that we need ten more aircraft carriers to combat the American threat. the Yamato will lead the invasion fleet against the Americans however, we cannot detect where the American fleet is.'' Hirohito then looked at the poster with the Atlantic wall. ''What about the Otoku line? Do we have any updates?'' Hirohito asked as he sipped a cup of tea. ''Yes. We need the German engineers who crafted this project. We have the resources to create such ambitious proceedings.'' Hirohito paused for a moment and replied. ''Yes, i will ask Hitler to hand me his engineers. I hope the Axis alliance will develop such partnerships.'' Then, as Hirohito was proceeding towards his quarters, American planes screeched through the sky. He was escorted to the Inperiarubankā. The Inperiarubankā was supported by steel and dense lead. He had a living room, a telegraph office and several other repository items. He and his family sat on the living room for a full hour. Then, he ascended from the bunker and asked an officer. ''What happened? What was it there?'' the Officer looked upon him and spoke softly. ''They say it's an american spy plane.'' he said as he pointed up above. ''I need you to send a message to Hitler.''

Imperial Japanese Empire.
Tokyo, Japanese Homeland

To our friends in Nazi Germany,

Seig Heil.

We in the Japanese Empire would like to request the Engineers who crafted the Atlantic wall. We will pay an undisclosed amount of money in order to kickstart the Otaku line. Anyways, i would like to greet you and your wife. May we have a lasting life. I would also plan in creating a Pan-Axis railway connecting both our empires. Surely, Germany and Japan has a great amount of resource to boost our economy and our troop's movement.

Emperor Hirohito

Sujin Armada, The Fleet of the Water God
水の神のフリート

The waves were soaring high as the winds were getting stronger and stronger. IJS Yamato fought the waves as four battleships were flanking her left and right. Four aircraft carriers were on her back. A squadron of newly designed Mitsubishi Zero fighter planes flew in the sky. Sightseeing planes were seen lifting off to search and find American positions. The Flotilla was one of the largest the world has ever created. Admiral Rajiin stood on the deck of the Yamato. ''Any enemy positions yet?'' the Admiral asked. The sailor replied with a no. The fleet was part of the Otaku line. Or the Line of the Realm. Emperor Hirohito has designed a line to defend Japan from any foreign aggression. The Americans and the Australians are main threat to the people of Japan. Soviet resistance up north is weaker. However, Japan will construct walls as long as thousands of miles in order to defend the Otaku Line.

Only time will tell if the Allies invade.

The British Empire

"Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves! Britons never, never, never, shall be slaves!"

Outside the Houses of Parliament
London
United Kingdom

Winston Churchill stood before a crowd of eager Londoners, gathered around the entrance to the Palace of Westminster, better known as the Houses of Parliament. Union flags hung from every ledge, and red, white and blue streamers rained from the surrounding buildings. Despite Britain's inability to continue the war after the failure at D-Day, Nazi-occupied Europe remained the manifestation of evil in the minds of many Britons and the wartime spirit continued unwavering, as well as the continued support of the people for Churchill's government.

"People of Britain," he began. "And our friends from across the sea, and those who have fled the cruel tyranny of Hitler from the continent. I promised you once that we, the people of these islands of Albion, would never surrender in the face of the Nazis. I know many of you feel I have betrayed that promise." he paused to make a appropriate expression of regret. "But I remind you, that we still stand, undefeated. Our Empire remains, still supporting us in our need. Across the Atlantic, our American friends continue to send us aid as a bastion of democratic light in a Europe choked with darkness. We have not surrendered. Our peace with Germany is one of necessity, lest we be destroyed. But I promise you, people of Britain, that I will never, never allow civilisation to die. Our shores are fortified, almost to the point of impregnability. His Majesty's navy keeps the Nazi fleets at bay, and his air force patrols our skies."

"I promise you again, that we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!"

The city erupted into cheers and shouts, the celebration redoubling. Some few doubted his words and slunk away, remembering his broken promises. But many found faith in Churchill again, their hope relit and their courage returned, to the sound of the national anthem.

# "God save our gracious King, long live our noble King, God save the King..." #

An Irish Army Military Parade went down O'Connell Street in the centre of Dublin. Taoiseach Thomas O'Higgins watched it. He announced that Ireland was leaving the Commonwealth. The new Head of State would be Adolf Hitler of Germany. The Irish Punt would now be tied to the Mark instead of the Pound. Both The Soldier's Song and Deutschlandlied were played.

Cankaya Kosku, Ankara, Republic of Turkey

President Inonu stands above the cheering crowd of Turks below him, he smiles to himself. This is the first time I've been so graciously welcomed by my people. He thinks. State controlled media and propaganda really does work. He clears his throat and begins to speak into the microphone to the ginormous crowd.

"My fellow Turks, as you all may know, our nation has prospered greatly under my guiding hand. Our military is exceptional, our industry has greatly improved, and unemployment is at an all time low. This great nation of ours can only be improved from here on out" He takes a deep breath and peers out into the crowd. "But, there are those who would like to see us fall and I would ask them, what then, overthrow the government would overthrow our greatness and our integrity" He claps his hands together dramatically "These heathens have been mostly captured and put into prison where they may never threaten us" Inonu scowls with displeasure. "But many are being given refuge by our treacherous neighbors, the Persians" The crowd boos and hisses at their name "I have tried to make this as diplomatic as possible, but the Persian government flat out refuses to hand over the radicals" Mores boos come from the crowd. "I fear tensions may rise to the breaking point and the diplomatic process will break out" He frowns to the East "When in peace, one must prepare for war" Inonu quotes and steps down from the podium.

Presidential Office

President Inonu, along with his top generals are discussing matters involving the Eastern border with the Persians. The Generals bicker amongst themselves, trying to figure out the best solution and should war break out, strategy. Inonu listens intently to them all, wondering himself how to deal with the situation. He suddenly stands up and the room grows quiet, his body radiates power and confidence as he prepares to speak. "Gentleman" He begins. "I believe it is clear that war is inevitable, I have no doubts in my generals capabilities, but we will need support in this war" His generals look at him a little puzzled. "We need German manpower and support, should a little war break out. Any objections to such an idea?" General Turkolu speaks up "I am in definite agreement with such an idea, but how will we have them to fight with us against an enemy so far?" Inonu smiles and takes out his ceremonial dagger and points to the world map on his wall. "Simple, we give them access to oil fields and strategic land bases" Without warning he throws is dagger at the map and it hits the British governed territory of India and Pakistan, quivering a bit then sticking in place.

OOC: I have no doubt that none of you will meta game, but I would appreciate if only NAR opened this. Please and I thank you in advance

Republic of Chile, Santiago

President Delgado, looking over recent reports from the Trade Department and the Military Department. He decided it was time to "review" trade agreements. He planned to trade weapons and foodstuffs with the United States of America. He prepared to write a draft. He also decided, that if the trade route worked, then Chile could not trade with Japan, which, however, could put Chile into a War with Japan, as Japan wasn't exactly the most peaceful nation. He was also worried about Chile's lack of allies, and being surrounded by what appears to be hostile South American Nations. He also realized that he couldn't trade with Nazi Germany, in the case that Germany wanted trade. He assumed that, when he thought about it, that Germany most likely didn't care about Chiles rather inferior weapons. Maybe they would want some wine? He laughed it off.

He began drafting a letter to the American President. He hoped that the Trade Agreement would be secured, as he hoped that they could profit off of Americas what appeared to be loss of manpower. As he spend a hour attempting to not sound insulting, as he intended to sound sympatric, as he really was sympathetic.

Greetings, Esteemed President of the United States of America!
My name is President Fernando Xalvador Delgado of Chile. I am quite interested in creating a Trade Agreement with you're nation. I have noticed that you're weapon stocks and general food stores may need foreign markets to help revitalize them. I assure you that Chile can help you get the supplies you need. For example, we can give you various Submachine guns. it will be a cheap alternative to actual rifles. I understand that you may be having Fascist revolutions in you're country. perhaps this will help you? If you are having food shortages, then I can assure you that our markets are more then willing to trade some American Dollars for some various Fruit Products.
With the Upmost Respect, President Fernando Xalvador Delgado of Chile

USFF Ambush Camp
50 kilometers from Kursk City limits
German Occupied Russia

Force Captain Emanuil Pavel surveyed the troop's stock of weaponry. "Twelve Kar98ks with forty rounds and fifteen Mosin Nagants with sixty seven rounds to be shared around the riflemen. A PTRS-41 with a single magazine, plus two Panzerfaust for busting any armor they might have. Two Mg-42s with a hundred rounds each." He counted, going down a checklist. "It's all here." As he finished up a solider poked his head into the tent, breathing fast. "Sir, the convoy is ten kilometers out!" He said between gulps of air. "Finally! Tell the men to come grab their weapons, the ambush is soon."

35 men were divided on each side of the road. Silence hung in the air like a thick fog. Slowly a rumble permeated the nothingness. A Panzer IV lumbered down the road, followed by three trucks filled with supplies and another Panzer IV following up the rear. Soldiers were sitting on the tanks and trucks, and others were walking beside them. Emanuil lay behind the PTRS and waited until the first Panzer was equal to him. He lined the sights up with the engine of the tank and squeezed the trigger. The .57 caliber round pierced the flat, thin side armor of the tank. A plume of smoke and fire billowed from the engine as the Panzer veered off of the road.

The Panzer at the rear turned it's turret to face the ditch that Emanuil was hiding in. Before it fired a Panzerfaust went off next to it, blowing a hole in it's side and blasting the turret skyward. The trucks were now stuck between two burning Panzers with no escape. Freedom fighters began firing on the Wehrmacht soldiers who were still alive. Emanuil picked up his rifle from beside him and fired several shots at enemies that he could see. Within minutes the battle was over. Emanuil rose from his position and moved towards the trucks. A wounded German soldier tried to raise a rifle and fire at him but he couldn't muster the strength. Emanuil approached the man and put his rifle to the soldier's head. "Das ist unser Land." He said quietly in the soldiers native tongue before firing.

After two hours, the trucks were picked clean of supplies. Weapons, ammo, food and other things were found in ample supply. This raid was a huge success and many others like it were being preformed all over the Motherland. These small surgical strikes would both add to the war effort, and convince the Germans that this was just the work of a small resistance movement, not a full rebellion.

Freedom Fighters lay in wait for a German convoy.

In Response to Turkish Request

Adolf Hitler had thought of assisting the Turkish in invading Iran. It seemed like a good plan, but the German People had grown tired of war. Though, Hitler believed that if he helped Turkey win in Iran, the two nations could move on the force the British from the Middle East as well. Therefore, Hitler orders 2 Panzer Armies, roughly 20,000 Soldiers, to Turkey, where they will later prepare for yet another desert war. Most of these men are veterans of Rommel's Afrika Korps, and veterans of desert combat. They were Hitler's first choice for such a task. "Bring a swift and decisive defeat to Iran" said Hitler before the troops went off to war. "For the Fatherland".

Members of the Wehrmacht look out for Iranian Scouts on the Iranian-Turkish Border.

Nazi-Occupied Soviet Union

News of ambushes on German Convoys soon reached General Fleischer, Commander of German Armies in the USSR. After meeting with the Fuhrer, he has decided upon a course of action to get solid information on the Soviet Rebel Forces. A grouo of the infamous Nazi SS board a Convoy bound for Stalingrad, where most of the ambushes take place, and await such an ambush. This group is a smaller detachment of the infamous Nazi SS Eagle Division, responsible for squandering the Soviets in Stalingrad and Moscow, and executing Joseph Stalin, and is commanded by Capitain Heinrich Ascher.

The Imperial Japanese Empire, Shanghai, Japanese China
旧日本帝国

''To live for a thousand years, Our Empire must purge the earth from Inferiority''

''私たちの帝国は劣等感から地球をパージする必要があり、千年のために生きるため''

After several weeks of delays, Emperor Hirohito will finally consecrate the city of Shanghai as Imperial Japan territory. Thousands of elites from japan flew to Shanghai in order to see this momentous celebration. roughly ten million dollars were spent. Emperor Hirohito was seen stepping down from the bomber aircraft. As he looked upon the Harbor, Japanese battleships lined in the dock. Ten battleships were getting ready to defeat the last few pieces of American resistance in Mindanao. Davao fell a month earlier to Japanese Imperial Armies. The Sujin Armada blockades American fleets from reaching the Philippines in time. China was a nice location. The Japanese War machine tears through the rest of China as Nazi forces hinders European powers to react with the Imperial Advances. Shanghai though had secrets. Chinese Allied scientists have defected to Japan. Shanghai was a research material on the feasibility of an atomic bomb. Hirohito greeted the thousands of Chinese fans. ''Ogenkidesuka'' Emperor Hirohito spoke with his interpreter relaying the message unto the crowd. ''The emperor asks if you are okay.'' the Chinese-Japanese man spoke. Hirohito began his speech concerning how his Imperial nobles care for China and how Japan needs China for her manpower. The Chinese crowd was forced to cheer by Imperial Forces.

After the consecration of Shanghai, Emperor Hirohito went to an undisclosed location in China. He walked towards the Conference room. Air condition made the situation better. Emperor Hirohito met with three scientists from Japan and China. ''Speed up the research. We and Germany must finish the Atomic bomb first! What's the problems Dr. Shinjonaki?'' Hirohito asked as he threw a flag of america unto the garbage can. ''My Imperial Majesty, we have problems with the Uranium. We cannot split the atoms, our latest technology has been delayed by Typhoon Ceres for a couple of months and that storm sunk a vital ship to our research!'' the scientist replied. Hirohito walked towards a painting of Mount Fuji. ''We can reclaim China again. Our Philippine presence is still worthy. We must not falter! We can have negotiations with Nazi Germany about their territories in the Pacific. I say we buy it and give Nazi Germany free access to her people. industries and raw product.'' Hirohito replied.

Sujin Armada, The Fleet of the Water God
水の神のフリート

''Admiral, we have no signs of Enemy presence yet. The Emperor has ordered the 8th Imperial Fleet to merge with the 1st Imperial Armada. However, the 9th Imperial Fleet that was supposed to merge with us was redirected to defend the Philippines. Mac Arthur is in the Pacific and i can smell is presence is coming near us.'' Rear Admiral Mikaki No-Mikoto noted. Then, a Squadron of Mitsubishi Zeros launched from took off to find American positions for 400 miles away. Japan had very high technological levels. What took the western world 300 years to Industrialize, it took Japan 5 years to do so. Japan had technologies not reach of Allied Intel. The Sujin Armada is the most vital Japanese defense in the region. To cripple the Armada is to open the path to Japan itself. However, 6 Fleets were merged here. Another batch of 10 battle ships are going to reinforce their positions. State of the art radars are used to detect American positions. Japan is ready for the American menace.

Kingdom of Romania/ Regatul Romaniei
Nihil sine Deo!

It was a great day for Romania. The war in Europe just ended. The victorious Romanian soldiers were returning from Russia, after they freed Bessarabia and Transnistria from the Communist occupation.
Transylvania returned to it's motherland, and Greater Romania was almost remade. All of this because of one man: Marshall Antonescu. When Romania was on the verge of collapse, in the cursed year of 1940, he arrived and saved the whole country. There was of course the little problem of the Cadrilater with Bulgaria, but all Romanians were sure that it will be solved sooner or later.

Bucharest, Arcul de Triumf
A parade was prepared for the victorious Romanian armies. As the first soldiers appeared, the crowd erupted into cheers and shouts of "Romania mare, in vechile hotare! Romania mare, in vechile hotare!"Marshall Antonescu and King Michael were present at the parade.
After the parade ended, it was the time for Marshall Antonescu's speech. As he and the King arrived on the podium, the whole audience begun to shout: "Traiasca Maresalul! Traiasca Regele! "
After the crowd stopped from shouting, Marshall Antonescu started his speech, which was broadcasted throughout Romania.
"My brothers and sisters, this is a great day for Romania! The war in Europe has ended. We have recovered the most parts of our broken motherland. And all of this, because of the Great German Reich and the invincible Wehrmacht. Transylvania- we have it back. Bukovina- we have it back. Bessarabia- we have it back! Now, it's time for us to clear of country of enemies, and destroy the traitors in the PCR. A new era just begun!" Abtonescu and Michael raised their right arms in the air. "Pentru Dumnezeu, Neam si Tara!". everybody shouted.

Helsinki, Finland

Since the independence of Finland, a monarchy has always ruled. Many refer to it as a Fascist Dictatorship and that's what it was officially declared. Svana's family has ruled since independence. The name Estenson was renowned throughout Scandinavia. They were once known as great military leaders before the Finnish losses in Russia. Svana was desperate to prove the strength of Finland after the Second Great War. The nation may not have been as strong as it's neighbour, Germany, but it was strong enough. After the war, whomever wasn't with Germany was against them. The amount of land they seized was filled with unruly people, against the nazi rule. It had also managed to annoy most nations. Only the frightened, weaker nations flocked to join them.

Svana herself was yet unproven. Finland has never been ruled by a queen before and yet, they had a queen during the end of one of the greatest wars in history. It was her who suggested they join the war. However, they joined too late. The Finnish armies were destroyed along with her brothers. Then the Nazi's marched in and seized any land Finland could hope to take. Even Norway.

Queen Svana sat alone in the great dining hall of the palace. Her three brothers had died fighting in the war against the Russians. Her father and mother had passed a while ago and she was without children. Finland was in a tough position at the moment. They faced the hard choice between trying to side with the great military might of the Nazis, or the naval prowess of Britain. The Nazi's had many more friends and were close neighbours. The British still had a strong navy though the Nazis would probably soon surpass it. Svana couldn't decide so she would see who would help against the Swedes. The Swedish had a history of subjugating Finland. It would be a sweet irony to reverse it. So she sent two letters.

Dear King George,

Your grace, the great nation of the Finns extends it's hand in friendship. Your nation is proud and prestigious. Our nation seeks help against the Swedish menace. Can we count on your support? I understand this will most likely reach the office of Winston hurchill.

Sincerely,
Queen Svana

Dear Fuhrer Adolf Hitler,

The great nation of the Finns extends it's hand in friendship. Your nation is proud and prestigious. Our nation seeks help against the Swedish menace. Can we count on your support?

Sincerely,
Queen Svana

The Reichstag, Berlin

As always, letters from national leaders poured into Hitler's Office, but there were a few that he took the most notice to. The leader of Free Ireland, New puppet of Nazi Germany, an old friend and ally against the Soviet Menace, Finland, and their two-way ally of Japan. He would soon write letters in response to these messages, and attend a Meeting discussing possible peace with the British Empire.

Norwegian-Swedish Border

The army of 10,000 members of the Wehrmacht prepares for the invasion of Sweden. Hitler tells his troops that if they fight hard, they'll be home in a month. German Troops are tired of war, but Hitler informs them that this shall be "The last Offensive of 1944".

Due to the copd conditions of winter in Norway, these German Wehrmacht Soldiers are bundled up as they scout Swedish Patrols

Republic of Greenland
November, 1944

Nuuk, Greenland
Eske Brun sat at the newly made desk for the President of the Republic of Greenland. A mess of papers and a glass of ice water sat on his desk. Outside his window, he could see the city of Nuuk. Nuuk would barely qualify as a small town in many countries, but here it was a metropolis, the largest city and capital of Greenland. Greenlanders, most of them Inuit, lived out their lives with little to prove the biggest war in human history had just occured. Greenland had suffered little in the war, its irrelevency serving it good for once?
Now, it had to find a place in a new world. The thought of requiring Denmark was present but fading and hopeless; If Great Britain and the Americans couldn't beat back the Nazis, then it was time Greenland moved on. That was the thinking of the newly placed government. Yet without Denmark, it would be hard for the small republic. Greenland was without a doubt one of the most unimportant nations in the planet.
But Eske Brun planned on changing that. He couldn't make his new nation a world power, or even a regional one, but he could certainly make it a nation that mattered. All it took was the right measure of diplomacy, timing, economics, and luck. Particularly luck. And so he began.

To: Parliament of the Republic of Greenland
I ask you to allow our esteemed nation to pass a trade deal with the nations of America and Great Britain. By doing so, we may sell our goods to Allied nations.
Sincerely, President Eske Brun

Second Philippine Republic

Jose P. Laurel was sitting in Manila, where the Japanese presence continues to spur resistance into his people, the Filipinos. He knew siding with the Japanese were going to face opposition, but he knew it was better than fighting them, especially since they promised independence after the war. He sat with his top government officials, on how to handle the ongoing Filipino resistance, food shortages, and overall lack of resources that were taken from them by the Japanese. "Now, gentlemen, the fact that the Japanese took our food and resources has made us poor and made life miserable for our people. I am open to any suggestions as long as it is feasible and reasonable" said Jose P. Laurel, who started the meeting with saying the first words and all. "Maybe we can ask our 'liberators' for assistance, they did promise independence, so maybe they can help us with food shortage" said one of the cabinet members. "I agree, they need to help us" said another cabinet member. "They won't, they're still at war, and so are we" said the Minister of Agriculture, who studied in Japan and knew some of their Culture. Then the Minister of War spoke, saying "It's true to what the minister said, they wouldn't give us food, especially with war still open among the Allies and Axis, but maybe we can show them a good reason to give it to us by talking with the fragmented rebel groups around the country". The room was silent for a moment, but then fighting erupted between who supported the rebels and those who support cooperation. Jose told the room to be silent, and silent it was. "Those suggestions are good and possibly practical, but we can't force our people to side whoever WE want, and besides, will the Japanese really give independence? No, they won't. It's better if we can show the Japanese our willingness to cooperate, but also support the rebels for Independence. For now, our Ambassador will send a letter to the Emperor of Japan requesting assistance in our problems. Dismissed", and with that, the meeting was adjourned.

To the ruler of the Empire of Japan, Emperor Hirohito
Greeting your Majesty, we wish to ask for aid in our current predicament, with the war taking its toll on us Filipinos, we wish to ask for aid from the Empire of Japan. We need help in terms of food mostly, but other resources like Oil, Rubber, and Steel may also be used for the better of us Filipinos. We hope you can reply as soon as you can, thank you
From the Ambassador of the Second Philippine Republic

"Maybe we can ask our 'liberators' for assistance, they did promise independence, so maybe they can help us with food shortage" said one of the cabinet members. "I agree, they need to help us" said another cabinet member. "They won't, they're still at war, and so are we" said the Minister of Agriculture, who studied in Japan and knew some of their Culture. Then the Minister of War spoke, saying "It's true to what the minister said, they wouldn't give us food, especially with war still open among the Allies and Axis, but maybe we can show them a good reason to give it to us by talking with the fragmented rebel groups around the country". The room was silent for a moment, but then fighting erupted between who supported the rebels and those who support cooperation. Jose told the room to be silent, and silent it was. "Those suggestions are good and possibly practical, but we can't force our people to side whoever WE want, and besides, will the Japanese really give independence? No, they won't. It's better if we can show the Japanese our willingness to cooperate, but also support the rebels for Independence. For now, our Ambassador will send a letter to the Emperor of Japan requesting assistance in our problems. Dismissed", and with that, the meeting was adjourned.

To the ruler of the Empire of Japan, Emperor Hirohito
Greeting your Majesty, we wish to ask for aid in our current predicament, with the war taking its toll on us Filipinos, we wish to ask for aid from the Empire of Japan. We need help in terms of food mostly, but other resources like Oil, Rubber, and Steel may also be used for the better of us Filipinos. We hope you can reply as soon as you can, thank you
From the Ambassador of the Second Philippine Republic

Bratislava, Slovak Republic

Tiso is in his office talking with a minister. "We need to rebuild our Military. We still have a handful of pilot Aces, but we need more planes. The army needs more men. Start up a conscription. 18-35 will be eligible for the draft. I want the Hlinka Guard to start be positioned on the borders. We need to tighten security there. We need to start producing weapons here in Slovakia. We need to start making our own K98s. Also, go to the monasteries and churches. See if you can get more priests to enlist for clerical military positions. It would boost morale.", Tiso said. The minister walked out and Tiso took a stroll to the local church.

The Reichstag, Berlin

As always, letters from national leaders poured into Hitler's Office, but there were a few that he took the most notice to. The leader of Free Ireland, New puppet of Nazi Germany, an old friend and ally against the Soviet Menace, Finland, and their two-way ally of Japan. He would soon write letters in response to these messages, and attend a Meeting discussing possible peace with the British Empire.

Swedish-Finnish Border

The relatively small Finnish military marched through the snow and frost to Sweden. The military was formerly some hundred thousands strong but now it was a mere 96,300. Leaving behind a garrison left 40,000 to March to Sweden. Keeping up to tradition, Svana was leading the men in the vanguard. Couriers were sent with letters carrying declarations of war. It was a simple message. The Finns can no longer tolerate your petty nation. You're a threat to the independence of Finland. and so on. A small patrol was on the border and upon sighting Svana's army, began to fire. The patrol was small, maybe about 1,000 men total. Whilst 22 Finns were lost, the patrol lost all men but 6. Svana hoped they would tell of the Finnish might heading for Stockholm. The capital was the main target but first, Gothenburg.
