The Drums of War (OOC, Signups, WWII)

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Is there anything Sweden can do at the beginning and still keep our meutrality?

Well you are currently supplying the Germans with their iron. You have that as leverage against them but they will likely invade you if you revoke it.

Mainly I'd say just start mobilizing your military and have it on alert. Look into evacuating the king and his family in case of an invasion.

[KASSRD]

Okay then.

Keep supplying Germany with Iron. There's literally no reason for Germany to invade you unless you do something stupid, and when the Axis juggernaut surrounds you Germany will have a decent opinion of you due to the trade.

Germany might end up invading him anyway. Free iron that way.

If Germany takes out Denmark and Norway send your royals to France/GB if possible. You can sneak them out as long as you are not at war.

There's no reason not to have the historical arrangement. Anyhow, if the iron gets too expensive Germany could probably coerce Sweden into providing a cheaper price. Though I would recommend some precautions.

Benian, you're either the Irish government or you're the IRA, you can't be both as they're two separate organisations

[Benian Republic]

Yes but the Irish government could also be wanting freedom

[Bujahla]

Yes but the Irish government could also be wanting freedom

To interject, you'd only be able to RP the IRA if they were officially affiliated with the Irish gov't.

[Corenea]

Yes but the Irish government could also be wanting freedom

The Irish government already holds most of Ireland, they're already free so how could they be wanting freedom ?

[Bujahla]

Yes but the Irish government could also be wanting freedom

The Irish government already holds most of Ireland, they're already free so how could they be wanting freedom ?

Now that's plane arrogance. They evidently want the rest of ireland. Nationalist sentiment. You control most but not all the land doesn't cut it.

I'm talking about Benian claiming that the Irish government want freedom and I told him that the Irish government is already free. Plus, to be realistic, the Irish government have no ties with the IRA so basically, Benian has to rp as either the Irish government or the IRA, he can't do both

[Carathon]

I doubt the IRA would reject government support from Ireland.

Let me give you naysayers a lesson about the IRA and why the Irish Government has never and will never fund/support it and why you are wrong about the Germans funding it:

1. The Irish Government would never be able to take on the British Empire. Declaring war on Britain drags in all of her dominions and colonies. The navy would blockade Ireland and Dublin would fall within days. The war would end in less than two months. And if the government was caught funding/supporting it, same as the above.
2.The Irish Government has always opposed the IRA. They did before WWII, they did during WWII, and they did after WWII> They opposed the IRA during the Troubles as well.
3. The Nazis would never fund the IRA. Why? Ireland herslef is aligned with the Allies. It never publicly announced her alignment but everyone knew it leaned towards the Allies. It would be strengthening its potential enemy and be wasting money on something viewed as useless to them. So Britain loses size worthless counties on the Isle of Ireland. And? Why would that have any interest to the Germans?
4. The Irish people supported WWII and plenty of them fought for the British Army during the war. Hence why Ireland was unofficially aligned with the Allies.
5. Even with the Nazis taking on the British the IRA would still lose.

I have plenty more reasons why, but if the above five points are not enough to show you why your argument is so invalid and the entire idea of the Government of Ireland ever backing the IRA is implausible, well I dunno what more I can tell you.

Ireland could theoretically launch a suprise BLITZKREIG against the English while
They are preoccupied with the nazis

That's a dumb idea (very impratical and unrealistic), I don't think you're cut out for this rp

Send them to Canada.

[KASSRD]

That I will.
Also to the Irish guy, don't invade Britain unless he is literally collapsing and taking Northern Ireland would be a matter of walking in a planting a flag on the ground. You don't stand a chance otherwises.

Even when it was just te British against the Germans they certainly were not weak and managed to fend then off until the Russians and Americans arrived.

Also the Irish military is also proper shit. It'd be slaughtered rather quickly.

I don't understand why you're so set on the IRA or invading Northern Ireland. It doesn't make sense to me, it's a WWII RP not a Troubles RP.

Not even possible. I know there is the quote of "Nothing is Impossible", but it's impossible.
