Those glorious days (AWRP) OOC, Semi-Closed

So, yeah, @Uni and tNF: If there are any revolutionaries in your territory who get widespread international notice and plead for international help, because if I don't then I'll have the Scandinavian Spring.

Belgium will put down any rebellion with brutality that would make Leopold II proud.

[Unicario]

Lucky for you, because I picked the countries that have no resources. The only way for me to get anything is if I send gunboats to India and take over a resource-rich colonial area (THERE'S TONS TO TAKE...)

If I can avoid a war for a little while, I plan on having Belgium take a very small bit of India as a colony. Oh, and this political marriage will allow for more resource trading between our two nations.

Ja, good. I've discovered Manchuria has a moderate to large coal, iron (and other metals) and mineral supply. So mines ahoy!

Elsewise, I plan for Japan to sail and go colonize Burma or Bengal, perhaps.

Kolkata will be Japanese!

I don't plan for the rebellions to spread. the Manchurians are happy to be under Japan's yolk compare to the Han government, and the Koreans are being/will be surpressed by Tojo's elite police guards (Japan's WW1-era SS/Gestapo.)

But if they(the Congolese, the Koreans, etc.) try to throw off the yoke of Japan/Belgium and get internatinoal attention while doing so, then Scandinavia will be forced to either sever all ties and aid the rebels or attempt to ignore the rebels resulting in mass riots and a complete recall of the government.

In that case, I want a place with uranium for when the 1940s come around, or possibly just a large chunk of Africa.

Fuck, Uranium.

I don't see why you'd support the rebels, considering they'd be as brutal as the Belgians and will collapse under Belgian repression.

Because the people of Scandinavia would go, "Oh my God, look at what the Belgians have done in the Congo, look at these people who want to get rid of Belgian rule, let's support them in setting up a democratic government" and demand that the Union's federal government do so. If they don't, then the demonstations begin... and the protests... and the riots. And then there are resignations and recall votes galore.

Fuck, Uranium.

What sucks is that there's some just outside my territory under Soviet jurisdiction..

Hopefully they have it in Africa.

There's hard water in Norway... oh and there's some uranium in India.

The Scandinavians would succeed in bring to power a man that would have the combined insanity and brutality of Idi Amin and Francois Duvalier. So, you replaced a totalitarian rule with an even worse one.

Looks like Belgium will be paying a visit to India.

[Carathon]

Are the alps ore rich or anything? I know the burden of research falls on me, but I was wondering does anyone know offhandly.

Apparently there's uranium in Namibia....


Thus, I'll colonize Namibia.

And we shall let the world know, Belgium has become death. The destroyer of worlds. Our enemies will taste the atomic sting of Leopold's fist.

Looking at a resource map in an altas... there are resources around the Alps but not really in them.

Hmm....

An a-bomb over Munich and Salzburg.... that sounds quite nice, actually...

THERE'S URANIUM IN MANCHUKUO! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benxi )

It's also apparently Asia's LARGEST metal mine. ._.

There is uranium in the Belgian Congo.

Funny story, in real life, the uranium in the Belgian Congo is the uranium that was used in the atom bombs dropped on Japan.

...Don't get any funny ideas, bucko.

I wonder if I should start mining it in 1912, because it wasn't mined until 1942 when everyone realized, "HEY WE CAN USE THIS TO BLOW PEOPLE UP!"

God damn..

HOW COME THEY GET URANIUM AND I DON'T?

[Carathon]

An atomic bomb WILL cost a " holy shit what the fuck - ton " of money to make and produce in sufficent numbers.
Nevermind that I doubt you would spend that kind of money and research unless near-war or in war time.

Why would Belgium allow its soon to be closest ally to be nuclear bombed?

That and the atomic age is actually one of the most advancing things in human history, it will change everything.

You have hard water, which is used to make a-bombs. Be happy.

Don't give America any of that stuff either. Or China. or Russia. Or anybody, really.

Was anyone actually aware of any uses for the stuff in 1912?
