And Syria say me I send 450 thousand soldiers to Cyprus. I send 206.626 soliders to Cyprus.

[Marquette of Pacific]

And Syria say me I send 450 thousand soldiers to Cyprus. I send 206.626 soliders to Cyprus.

He sent 110,000 which is large but still realistic.

Petrograd(Saint Petersburg)
Russian Tsardom

Tsar Nikolai II looked out over the streets of his capital, on which he had a tenuous hold. The works of the communists and his enemies had weakened him greatly. Protests had begun in Georgia, Siberia, Finland, Poland, the Ukraine, and fair amounts of Central Russia demanding an end to his rule. An increasing number of them demanded he be replaced by the communist Bolsheviks.
He lived a life of out-of-touch privilege, it was true, but he did not understand why he was so hated. Everything he did, it seemed, aroused the wrath of all the Russias. He had no clue how he'd hold onto his throne.

"Sbor, moi tovarishchi. Pustʹ Shveytsarii Kongress nachatʹ." The voice of Vladimir Illych Lenin rang through the large meeting room where the so-called Switzerland Congress of Bolsheviks was to be held. He stood at the head of a large mahogany table. Also around it sat Avel Enukidze, Mikhail Kalinin, Mikhail Tomsky, Mikhail Lashevich, Lev Kamenev, Yevgeni Preobrazhensky, Leonid Serebryakov, Alexei Rykov, Nikolai Bukharin, Victor Chernov, Georgi Plekhanov, Leo Deutsch, Vera Zasulich, Pavel Axelrod, Felix Dzerzhinsky, Alexander Bogdanov, Leon Trotsky, and Josef Stalin. It was truly a Congress of Bolsheviks. Today they would discuss the protests spreading throughout Russia and how they could use them to bring down the Tsar.

OOC: By the way, the term Bolshevik only appeared later, didn't it? By the way, we need someone to monitor the war. I'd be happy to, just don't bash me up if I get it wrong.

IC: Switzerland is announcing the official opening of the Dom Observatory. We thank all nations that have funded it. Etc. etc.
We thank Turkey for allowing the foreigners out of Cyprus.

[Alleniana]

OOC: Oh, ok.

[Volcomia]

OOC: volcomia, if you say 'what can't be done easily' by me and turkey, i tell you the same of belgium. I posted that any belgian ship is not allowed to pass between the waters of Italy and Libya due to Draconian Navy blockade, how dafuq they reached cyprus without engaging my navy? And Syrìa who just got independence, raised an elite army in a matter of days? If these are not godmoddins, then my army uses dragons as transports. Use the logic guys. Go Turkey...

IC: Additional 100,000 troops of Portuguese 3rd and 7th Infantry and 2nd Spanish Armoured Car Divison are dispatched to help Turkey.

OOC:
Well considering that you don't have you ships lined up side by side the whole stretch of the blockade zone it means that your ships have to patrol the area which grants that ships can sneek through and further more unless every ship that is part of the blockade is patrolling alone which would mean it would be very hard to sneek by without being seen but then the lone ship would probably be sunk by the fleet it has just stumble upon but if your ships were patrolling in packs which would make it harder to fight it means less area is being patrolled at any given time so passing your blockade with out loosing a ship is more probable then destroying a whole fort and then walking right passed the trenches like they are cracks on the side walk

[Mahaan Bharatvarsha]

OOC: my post meant that my soldiers fought and captured the first trench, surely not without casualties. And I must tell you, Belgium cannot have ships in Cyprus. Let me tell you how. When Belgium heard of my blockade in Gibralter, he chose the land path through France to Mediterranian. Ships cannot travel by land. Now, I have not read any post by France where it had given ships to Belgians and they also didnt have their own, there is no fukin Belgian Navy in Cyprus. I can agree to the transports but not those idiotic destroyers or battleships.

Geneva
Switzerland

After much discussing it was decided that the various communist figures would each return to various parts of Russia to lead the local communists and socialists in protests and to ensure that as much of Russia as possible rose up against the Tsar.
Lenin personally divided them: "I shall go to Moscow with Bukharin. Enukidze, you shall go to Estonia with Tomsky. Kalinin, you go to Poland. Lashevich, Finland and the Lappland. Kamenev, Novgorod. Preobrazhensky, Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Serebyakov, Omsk and Tomsk. Rykov, you go to Ingria and get the help of Kirov in Petrograd. Chernov, the cities along the Don. Plekhanov, Kazan and Samara. Zasulich, Kazakhstan. Axelrod, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Dzerzinsky, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Bogdanov, Siberia. Trotsky and Deutsch, you will go to Tsaritsyn and the Volga cities; Stalin, you shall go to Georgia, Azerbaijian, and Armenia. Dismissed!" The men stood up and left the room.
The Russian Revolution was beginning.

[Reviving Hindustan]

Finally the British reached Cyprus. Their fleet combined with the Spanish and the Italian where they surrounded the Syrian Navy. The British Army combined with the Spanish and Italian forces trying to infiltrate the trenches, now totalling 300,000. They came up with a brilliant plan. Snipers were sent out to kill any Belgian or Syrian who appeared or popped his head out of the trenches. While sappers dug in and reached the bottom of the trenches, placed mines and blowed up entire sections at a tìme. The artillery too was now positioned better and returned fire to the defending lines. These tactics helped greatly and the Draconians advanced more. The British also ask other members to ensure naval supremacy by destroying the Syrian fleet and isolating the island.

OOC: Syria, do not pretend that you will be able to destroy the combined fleet of 3 of the greatest powers of the time, foremost Britain. This naval battle will be a sure defeat for you, and you cant deny it. As of the above tactics, I have done some research and these were used in WW1.

I can agree to the transports but not those idiotic destroyers or battleships.

OOC: Well the way you put it it sounded like this...
Spanish forces land on Cyprus and instantly knock out the fort and shortly after charge the trench, that the Cyprus army has been holding, head on taking small damage and within minutes capture the trench completely destroying Cyprus defences and taking a couple losses
And I wish I didn't have to say this since Belgium is my ally but I can see what you mean and agree with you about the navy thing

[Turkiye Federal Republic]

Turkish forces are starting to make trenches on Famagusta. Airforces and 2 divisions(Total: 600.000) are starting to attack forces of Blegium. Turkish Aircraft Carrier is waiting 5 kilomters away from Belgian forces. Turkish Destroyers are starting to fire with Turkish Battleships and Cruisers. 150.000 Turkish soldiers(75.000 Artillery and 75.000 Cavlary) are landed in Cyprus and they starting to go Famagusta. When Trenches will be ready, Turkish soldiers will put Artilleries inside trenches and Artlleries will start to fire. Also producing of Armoured cars and Machine Guns are started (500 Per day in mobilise and 500 per month in normal). 1 French Aircraft is wait in Turkey because Turkish scientists analyze French Aircraft and later (In March or in April) with that information first Turkish aircraft will be created. We will not give blueprints of Armoured Cars and Machine guns to Muslim Bloc. Last days Muslim Bloc is end their relations with Turkey(Specially Syria).

The Russian Revolution was beginning.

Pterograd
Russian Tsardom

The protests began to grow larger after news broke out that the harvest in various parts of Russia was much smaller than expected.Before long, he'd have to start importing grain from other nations.
Desperate, he sent a letter to the nations he was at war with asking for peace with no loss of Russian territory.

Moscow
Russian Tsardom

Here the food shortage had become particularly acute. Several furious citizens attacked the Russian forces in the city, warded off an attack by the cossacks using stolen weapons, and built makeshift fortifications around the Kremlin and Saint Basil's Cathedral. They are led by Russian pro-democracy activist Alexander Kerensky in addition to Vladimir Lenin and Nikolai Bukharin.

Warsaw
Russian Tsardom

Mikhail Kalinin used his knowledge of the Bolshevik's idea for a "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" to inspire Poles, poorly treated by the Russian Tsar, to get their aid; he emphasizes that in a "Soviet Union" Poland would be equal to all other regions of the nation. He also promises that a Bolshevik nation would turn around the backwards country and modernize it, thus allowing it to reclaim lost Polish land from Germany and Austria-Hungary(such as Posen/Poznan and Krakow). Rebellions begin in Warsaw and Lodz and spread across the countryside.
These feelings are similarly exploited by Enukidze in the Baltics and Lashevich in Finland; Lashevich gets the help of Finnish communist Kullervo Manner of the Finnish People's Delegation.

Tiflis(Tbilisi)
Russian Tsardom

Stalin, excellent at stirring up trouble, quickly started provoking the downtrodden in the Caucasus into rebellion. He started riots in Tiflis, Baku, Sochi, and various other cities that grew into complete rebellions who looked up to Stalin. Stalin, a cunning and ruthless man, liked this feeling of power.

Tsaritsyn
Russian Tsardom

Similarly, Trotsky, a skilled orator, began inspiring mass rallies of communists and revolutionaries and the dissatisfied, moving them to protests. The protests he started intensified repeatedly to the point where it too became a full-scale rebellion. Also joining Trotsky in stirring up the revolution was Yakov Sverdlov.

It seemed unlikely that the Tsar would be around much longer.

Undoubtedly, citizens of the planet, you have heard of the ongoings in the nation of Russia and her dominions. A great occurance has occured and the people of the land, from peasant farmer to industrial worker have risen up against the brutal Tsar of Russia, Nicholas Romanov the Second. The people of Russia, Poland, Finland, the Baltics, Siberia, the Central Asian lands, and the Caucasus have risen up. Many of you in governmental positions are considering aiding him. However, many of the nations I am speaking to- the United States, United Kingdom, and France primarily- have some form of elected government where the voice of the people is to be expressed. It would truly be most hypocritical for a government based on the opinions of the people to suppress the opinions of the Russian people in Marx's revolution of the proletariat.
No doubt those of you who may support us, out of your own opinion or possible benefit to you, some of you are not confident we can win. The Tsardom is long established and it has the military. Far more powerful than the cossacks, however, is the will of the Russian people. We have allies across the country and the world. Tsar Nikolai II is no match for the idea of the revolution and those who support it.
Finally, to my comrades and fellow communists in foreign locales, your revolution will come. It inevitably will, violently or not. I wish the best of luck especially to my comrades in the nation of the Kingdom of Denmark and tell them that once the Russian nation is run by the people as a communist nation we will help them overthrow the tyranny of their current government.
Finally, to my rival and enemy, the Tsar Nikolai Romanov II. Your fall from power is guaranteed. The people of Russia and Poland and Finland and Georgia and Azerbaijan and Sakhalin and Yakutia and Kazakhstan and the Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan and Belarus and All the Russias have risen up against you. However, I do recognize that you inherited a broken system and a country neglected by fortune(until the beginning of the glorious worldwide turn to communism). Thus, I an giving you an offer. Surrender and you and your family will live, maybe even stay in Russia and collect a government pension. I will leave the door open; you may not yet see sense until we have displayed a certain convincing show of force(which we are fully capable of showing, by the way). However, when you surrender will determine your fortunes. If you do not surrender, then you and your entire family will be treated in the way most European royal families are when a new dynasty takes power... dispossesed, exiled, possibly even executed. Do not make a foolish choice.

People of the world- farmer, worker, intellectual, bourgeoise- Russia stands on the brink of a glorious new age, and her future is about to be determined. Pick the right side, the side that will win- the side of the People of the Tsardom.

Marquette are you crazy? You purchased any fukin warship in marseille and you didnt post. From whom you purchased? France? I dont see any post regarding this by him either. Comeon buddy, dont kid like this. You have no navy around Cyprus.

You're right, I didn't post it. I would like to fill you in then, if I didn't buy a fleet in Marseille (which, as you said, is quite unlikely) here's what happened:

The Belgian troops landed in Bordeaux, but they had obviously realized that it was quite impossible to use ships across land. In Bordeaux, the admiral hired many very large transport vehicles for the Belgian fleet. The ships were placed on large beds connected to many vehicles, the cost was great, but Belgium was dedicated to getting its men to Cyprus to help its ally.

There, that's how it happened.
