The President of United Mexican States,Lazaro Cardenas,sat on the Presidential Chair and brooded about Mexico's disadvantage against the USC.Though the armed forces were superior in numbers and training to the US,the economy was somewhat smaller.The naval forces often found themselves in small conflicts in the Gulf against the USC navy.An incident in 1933 resulted in damages to a Mexican cruiser and the sinking of a USC PT boat.Total war had barely been averted after President Rodriguez had gathered evidence to show the PT boat fired first.Over the years,since the defeat in the Mexican-American War,Mexico had been abused by the USC until the 1920's when Mexico took a spot on the top 10 best economies and armed forces in the world.Now,in order to avenge Mexico for the Mexican-American war,Mexico would turn "Red"......

_{Dear Premier Leon Trotsky,leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,the United States of Columbia have plagued the world with ferocity and their goals to become a "superpower" by crushing all who stand in their way disgusts us,as much as it disgusts you,I am sure.We would like to offer you an alliance with the United Mexican States so that you may have a tactical ally near the USC in the event the USSR enters war or into conflict with the USC.Our considerable armed forces rival that of the USC,already,and our economic power is barely behind.If you give us aid,we will give official and public support to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its ideology.We hope you agree to our request.}

Cosenza, Southern Italy

Cosenza had been reduced to rubble as INLF rebels desperately tried to hold back the Italian advance. Only a few days of heavy fighting and the town was strewn with dead bodies.Many of the townspeople had already fled, but hundreds had already been killed in the crossfire. The rebel forces, outnumbered and outgunned, chose to withdraw, abandoning the few heavy equipment, such as anti-tank guns, they had with them. The INLF force was mostly intact; nothing of strategic value had been lost, although it was a defeat for the rebels.

Corleone, Sicily

Corleone, a very small town, was one of the places Messi would be staying at, at least for several hours. His escorts guarded the building, and had been ever since they arrived there. The safety of Messi was their first priority. He knew some hated them, particularly those who had lost loved ones in the rebellion he had orchestrated. There was even an assassination attempt the year before; while it had failed, and the shot missed him by a few feet, he could still vividly remember the crowds, and the panic that ensued when the shot rang out. He laid back in his chair. The soldiers were more than capable of protecting him.

Winston Churchill took another swig from his bottle of Whisky. Times were changing. Germany was embroiled in another war, Italy was embroiled in another war, and Greece was in war. British troops were dying everyday in Germany and the people were calling for withdrawal. He rubbed his temples and began drafting several messages:

From: Britain
We were working towards independence when you attacked. We understand you not wanting to lay down your arms and accept it. We would like a ceasefire as well. When shall we meet?

Colonel Lin Biao of the Chinese Red Army sat in the turret of his T-34/85. Along the ridge where a number of T-34/85 as well as two brand new TL-1 heavy tanks (IS tanks) and one brand new SU-100 self propelled gun. Behind the tanks were 2,750 men of the CRA arrayed in two columns. Each one was armed with either a sub-machine gun (PPSH-41 or PPS-43) or some DP light machine guns.

The medium sized military port in front of them had been taken over by the by the rebel Japanese, luckily however the 3 warships in the port had managed to escape and were currently out at sea just close enough so the town was in range of their guns. Above the town flew the rising sun flag of the rebels. Biao suspected that their were 1,000-2,000 rebels in the town with no armour, easy meat if it came to battle. However Biao hoped to avoid that. He sent a message via morse code to the rebels.

To IJA rebels

We have your surrounded from land and sea. I have 12 tanks, 2 SPG's 3 cruisers in the bay and I can call on crippling air support. If I need to I can retake this town by force, however I ask for you to surrender to prevent civilian deaths. I also ask you release the 200 Marines and police in the town.

Colonel Lin Biao of the Chinese Red Army

To Red Army

We will not surrender our nation to Communism or submit to defeat. We will keep fighting to the last able body fighter! That however does not consist of civilians.

Colonel Tatsuya Tengan

The Japanese rebels released civilians who would not fight for Japan, however they kept all combatants, Red and Japanese, in the town. Japanese snipers (Armed with Type 97s or Type 99s) trained their sights on the horizon, waiting for the Red Army. Machine gun posts (Armed with Type 96 LMGs) covered the perimeter of the town. These rebels were ready to die if they could not meet victory.

I suggest we meet in two days in the city of Cologne. In the meantime my soldiers will not attack yours and vice versa. I hope we can conclude our negotiations peacefully.

In the meantime, the High Command heard about the war happening in Japan. The Imperial Japanese remnants were rising up and trying to take their country back from the Communists. The DRF, eager to remove Soviet influence from Asia, decided to send a force of 25,000 paratroopers to support the Japanese and destroy the Red Army. The planes, leaving DRF crude airports, were en route to Japan. A telegram was sent to the Japanese informing them of support on the way.

We are coming to help you against the Reds! Hold out until our paratroopers get to your position!

CHAPTER TWO: A Time of Crisis

Ignoring Europe as a total, the United Mexican States was the greatest threat to the USC. While militarily strong and not that far in economic strength, her government wasn't the most stable, and a Communist revolution wouldn't be that far fetched in that area. Roosevelt was a Navy man himself, and believed heavily in Naval power, so that was his plan, to pressure Mexico with Columbia's Naval might. Columbia had an advanced fleet of Battleships, Destroyers, Frigates and Carriers, which Mexico herself lacked.

Columbia had 5 Aircraft Carriers, more than she needed but power projection in the environment she lived in was important. With England steeping up exercises in the Pacific and Mexico rising in an attempt to usurp Columbias spot, what was the nation to do? Cement their spot in the Gulf and around their territories of course. Two Carriers were in the gulf already, one for the Atlantic and one to actually protect the Gulf. While three were in the pacific. As a smart man, Roosevelt knew they Navy needed more funds, so of course he passed a bill allotting more money to the navy, increasing the Defense Budget once again to 100,000,000,000. This bill of more funds to run the Navy would come with a determined message to increase Naval exercises in the Gulf up, along with the Pacific.

The economy was growing rapidly, and along with it, the USC came closer and closer to getting out of the Depression, but still the USC remained in its cloud. And while now Four New Deals and been passed with terrific results and growth, and while the USC had become more industrialized than it had ever been, it still remained. And while many would call what the USC did socialism, the USC had to continue to rebuild. Roosevelt had an idea that the more factories remain open, the more jobs available, so of course if seemed like a brilliant idea to pass the Factory Funds bill. He bill would subsidize almost 1,000 closing manufacturing plants to keep them open and expand their read so that they could leave government subsidies. This reform was widely praised by factory workers and owners who would have lost their jobs without the bill.

Behind closed doors Columbia was working on a much darker plan. Ever since Albert Einstein had move to the USC to escape Nazi aggression, and the possibility of an atomic weapon had become a tangible thing, the USC had been curious of the use of such weapon, and so the Manhattan project begun. With no need to fund a costly war in Europe, the USC had Ben able to dedicate larger sums of money to the project, as well as hire better scientists worldwide to participate. Political scientists were driven mad by the possibility of Atomic power and Military men were intrigued by the weaponization of such a thing, even more excited when the group reported a possible prototype by early 1945, something they lived to think about.

Speaking of dark things, the disaster in New York was terrible for economic growth, and deserved a immediate USC response which it got, refugees spreading to surrounding areas had to have somewhere to live no? and with such the Second homestead act was passed, Federal funds being sent to areas getting refugees to contruct housing for these people, as well a bill passed with it would provide jobs in manufacturing to these families as well as subsidies to keep them afloat during this time while damage was assessed

The possibility of a Soviet Incursion into your lands and our own grows daily, and the instability of Mexico threatens us both. Down in Columbia we have, 4 years ago, begun an Atomic weapons program that will come to fruition in early 1945. Such weapons in our possession would deter Mexican and soviet aggression, as well as secure our spots on the world stage. If you want in in such a project, send a delegate to Washington DC

We here in the USC would love to expand relations and form an economic alliance with your great nation, which would benefit us both.

Hopefully this will allow us both to rebuild easier and fix our economies after these events.

The Mexican Miracle
Act I:Two Kings....One Throne

The Mexican–American War, also known as the Mexican War, the U.S.–Mexican War or the Invasion of Mexico, was a dark time for the United States and the Empire of Mexico (which became the Federal Republic of Mexico during the war) from 1846 to 1848. It followed in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered part of its territory, despite the 1836 Texas Revolution.

Combat operations lasted a year and a half, from the spring of 1846 to the fall of 1847. American forces quickly occupied New Mexico and California, then invaded parts of Northeastern Mexico and Northwest Mexico; meanwhile, the Pacific Squadron conducted a blockade, and took control of several garrisons on the Pacific coast further south in Baja California. Another American army captured Mexico City, and the war ended in a victory for the United States.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo specified the major consequence of the war: the forced Mexican Cession of the territories of Alta California and New Mexico to the United States in exchange for $15 million. In addition, the United States assumed $3.25 million of debt owed by the Mexican government to U.S. citizens. Mexico accepted the loss of Texas and thereafter cited the Rio Grande as its national border.

American territorial expansion to the Pacific coast had been the goal of President James K. Polk, the leader of the Democratic Party. However, the war was highly controversial in the United States, with the Whig Party, anti-imperialists and anti-slavery elements strongly opposed. Heavy American casualties and high monetary cost were also criticized. The political aftermath of the war raised the slavery issue in the United States, leading to intense debates that pointed to civil war; the Compromise of 1850 provided a brief respite.

After the shameful defeat of Santa Anna and the cession of Texas,California,and Nevada,the Mexican government had a sudden "moment of clarity".This world would never stop warring with each other and so Mexico would not stop either.When President Farias entered office,his reforms lifted the country from the civil unrest and economic plummet with his reforms.Once the economy was repaired,defense became a high priority for Mexico,with 15% of its budget going to defense by the end of the 19th century.

The Red Mexico

For far too long had Mexico lived under the shadow of the United States of Columbia.Mexico's economy and navy was barely been weaker than the US but the Mexican ground and air forces were superior.Years of technological advancement and steady rise in the national Human Development Index brought in a slight flow of bright minds to Mexico in the 1910s and 1920s.The Mondragon rifle was only the first of many advances,now,it had been modernized and improved against jamming and its vulnerability to the elements had been fixed.That was only the beginning.The common misperception that the Mexican government was unstable had to be proved wrong,as well.With the decision to adopt a more Socialist government,therefore turning "Red",it had also been decided commerce and the economy would not be subject to Socialist policies and Mexico adopted Capitalist policies.The aid from the USSR had been warmly welcomed,jump starting the industrial power of Mexico,as well as its military power.The defense budget had been increased to 30% from the past 25% bringing the total to 110 billion dollars.Due to the smaller population,the government encouraged families to have as many as 10 children.The population was projected to grow up to 50 million by 1950.The naval power of Mexico also had to be improved.An additional 41 billion dollars were to be alloted to the navy with talks about a possible aircraft carrier fleet by the end of the decade thanks to aid by the USSR.The battle for supremacy in the Gulf was not so much a priority but Mexico could not be allowed to fall behind so much.The government planned on establishing the United Socialist States of Mexico by the end of the year....

Somewhere in Sicily

He went over the recent reports; an Italian fleet had been spotted off the port city of Palermo, and it was likely a battle would happen - the INLF were trying to get them to allow the evacuation of civilians. No one knew how it would turn out. There had been an increase in military activity from both sides in Southern Italy, and a small battle had occured in Cosenza, which turned into a defeat for the INLF. Once he arrived to his next town, Messi decided he would have to authorize an order to send extra reinforcements to Palermo. There were 10-15,000 troops near the city that could reach it if a battle erupted, and even more men could arrive there in a matter of days, although he hoped that wouldn't happen.

In the last town he had been in, Messi had shedded his old military uniform and put on some civilian clothes; he had also shaved and had a haircut. This would make him less recognizable. The last thing the INLF needed was for the Italian Air Force to gain wind of where Messi was going. The INLF had only a small force of around 100 aircraft, all scattered around Sicily. Many of them were outdated and considered obsolete; some of them were supplied by the British. In order to avoid being targeted by the Italian air force, who held complete aerial supremacy over the INLF, they used clever tactics such as camoflauge.

Messi continued to read the reports as the jeep continued along a dirt road, passing by a small village. The villagers looked up at the jeeps, and, to Messi's surprise, waved. The huts of the village soon became smaller and smaller, until it disappeared from sight.

The Economic Bill of Rights

Post Transcript of Speech

It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people — whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth — is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights — among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

As our nation has grown in size and stature, however — as our industrial economy expanded — these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.

We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. "Necessitous men are not free men." People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all — regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

-The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

-The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

-The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

-The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

-The right of every family to a decent home;

-The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

-The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

-The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And if this global war for democracy is to be won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

America's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens.

Port-au-Prince, The Commonwealth of Haiti
The Triumvirate

"It appears USC has desire to push their nations agenda upon all others and bring all within their fold"

All present nodded in agreement with one another over this issue. The room was quiet and tense with all 3 members of the triumvirate Louis, Michelle, and Marquis and all of the Ministers present. Europe is still in turmoil so as such the fear was the British may be too occupied to aid such a little nation as this one. The armed forces were not weak but they weren't the best, as expected of such a back water as this one. The general solution was that they should improve upon their defenses ranging from modernizing the mass numbers of coastal forts that we had, put more money into the nations infrastructure to build more railroads to aid in case of an invasion to allow are forces to be mobilized more quickly. The group agreed upon this rather quickly and decided to make a bill to be put through to The Senate.

National defensive and infrastructure improvement bill

In the name of national defense we the people have set forth a desire to bring about more spending on improving the national defenses against external invasion, and to allow for a more better prepared and capable force that shall be capable of responding to any and all threats to the national sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the nation. We propose in the following bill a large spending boost to the national infrastructure projects principally focused on railroads in order to allow are forces to better respond to threats to the nation principally invasion but also to help in case of natural disasters(earthquakes, hurricanes, etc). A positive outlier of this would be a boost in commerce allowing for merchants and people to better travel throughout the nation. We also wish to bring about funds that would allow us to modernize the Coastal forts that dot are nations coastline that have always been meant to defend are nations sovereignty, they have done their job well but now need help to better do that job now and all the way into the future.

Agenda
- Additional funds to be put towards infrastructure improvements via 10% increase of infrastructure budget
- Modernization efforts towards coastal fortifications
- Funds needed: 200 Million Haitian franks($100 million)

Evinayong, Third Reich

The small desert town was typical of Sub-Saharan Africa. A small spot in the middle of the vast desert, the population numbering slightly below 500. However, in the streets, in front of the Town Hall, a building itself aging from the Spanish control over the region, a group of people had gathered. A man, dressed in an aging bundle of clothes, stood atop an ancient pickup truck, holding an improvised bullhorn and a British-made Lee-Enfield. "The Germans have oppressed us for two long! Their incompetent leadership still thinks it rules Berlin, not our homeland! They don't understand our culture, or our problems, or any of the other things! We must rise and crush them before they wipe us ou..." He never finished his sentence. A 7.92×57mm Mauser bullet literally blew his head apart. The crowd screamed and scattered as German troops poured into the square. The troops, numbering about 40, were accompanied by a PzKpfw II. The Panzer II's autocannon ripped the crowd to shreds. A few brave souls fired at the Germans, but the crowd was swiftly cut down due to sheer overwhelming German firepower. Total Rebel Casualties: 59. Total German Casualties: 2. It seemed that the Germans were trying to crack down on the populace.

TOP SECRET

Mr Prime Minister. Our two countries fought side by side in WW2, we crushed the greatest evil the world has ever seen. I know we have different ideologies and beliefs, but we still have common ground.

Italy

Both of us are supporting the INLF in their rebellion against the fascists of Italy, both of us are sending massive amounts of supplies to Sicily. However, the Italian navy has put the island under lock down. They believe they can stop our supplies getting through. However I have a way to break it. Alone, it would be a great danger for our navies to break the blockade. However, if we combine our force, the Italians would not dare fire.

I propose our to fleets meet up at Malta then sail towards the Italian blockade lines , directly in to Palermo. The Italians would never fire on us and it would be a massive propaganda victory for the USSR, UK and INLF.

Sincerely,
Leon Trotsky

Japan

Colonel Lin Biao read the message from the rebels. "Idiots" he said to his 2nd in command. "Load all the artillery & tanks, aim them at those MG positions". From the ridge they were on, they had a good view of the town and the defenses around it. "Radio the RAF, bring in a couple of Il-2s. We will show the imperialists what we can do." As the planes arrived, about 1/2-2/3 of the towns population left, in fear of the battle to come. 5 minutes later, two Ilyushin Il-2 Šturmovíks, the famed ground attack planes of the Eastern Front flew over the low hills around the town. They turned upwards, going strait up for around 8 seconds, they then banked down wards, diving towards the defenses around the town. They fired their cannon and each plane dropped its two HE bombs, sending up large plies of dirt. The two planes started climbing again, then dived, this time firing their 8 rockets. Although the rockets were aimed at the defenses, many missed their targets and hit building in the town .

After the two planes left, Biao looked through his binoculars in to the town, around the perimeter of the town, he saw the rebels setting up new defenses and clearing away the many dead. "Tell each tank to prepare 4 shells, pick a target and on my mark fire". He looked at the town one last time then gave the order "Fire". The 12 T-34, 2 TL-2's and one SU-100 fired on the town, sending up massive columns of fire After the smoke settled, Biao ordered the next volley, then two more. "Good, now order the three cruisers in the bay to fire one shot from each of their 8 inch guns." The message was sent and the ships fired in to the town. After the rebels had faced the air, sea and tank attacks he sent one more message.

To IJA Rebels

You have felt the power of our artillery and air force. I give you one more chance to surrender.

Top Secret Soviet Nuclear weapons research lab 50 miles outside Tomsk, Siberia, Russian SFSR, USSR

Behind closed, blotted, heavily guarded doors KGB scientists were working on 3 weapons which would change warfare. Division A, lead by Enrico Fermi who fled Italy in 1938 to the USSR (OOC: IRL, USA, IC USSR) the Soviet scientist were working on a nuclear weapon. From KGB intelligence, they new they were behind the UK by around 3-4 months but ahead of the US by 6-12 months. Given a massive boost by the findings of large Nazi Uranium, Plutonium and heavy water stores, the scientists were working at record pace.

Perhaps even more secret (if that was possible) was Division B. Division B were working a two weapons unique to the USSR. The designs were captured in East Prussia by the Red Army who, recognizing its supreme importance put it in the hands of the KGB. The KGB then rigorously interrogated every single Nazi General, politician and scientist to make sure these designs were only in E. Prussia (which they were). The two weapons had the capacity to change all warfare. Named by the Nazi's as the V-1 and V-2 (now called Novgorod and Tula) they were the first efficient, effective medium and long range missiles ever designed. These weapons, kept in top secrecy would not be tested to their full extent for another few months.

The following pictures were sent by 20 KGB/Spetsnaz agents, via armoured train to Moscow, where they were seen only be Trotsky, Zhukov and Tukhachevsky. They were then incinerated.

Boeotia/Attica border, Greece, DSE/Hellenic Army border

3 days ago, the Hellenic Army was in Boeotia, now the DSE was at the borders of Attica. As DSE/Red Army troops advanced towards the old front line in Boeotia the Hellenic Army withdrew towards Athens and abandoned Attica. Now, the DSE/Red Army had occupied Boeotia and in one town they were horrified by what they saw. As DSE tanks rolled in to the town, they noticed smoke curling from the churches and municipal buildings, as they entered the town, they found bodies pilled up along the streets and buildings with bullets holes. When they entered the town square they found bodies of civilians hanging from makeshift gallows. Nailed to the town hall was a note.

Partisans of Elasa executed for treason against the king.
Crime: Mass Rioting against the king's garrison, murder of one Hellenic Army officer.
Punishment: Execution of everyone between the age of 16 and 50 in town. 2,500 traitors, hung, shot or bayoneted

God Save the King!
God Save Greece!

Lt Georgios Papadopoulos

Meanwhile 3 separate offensives are being planned to take Athens. The first will be a diversionary attack by 70,000 Red Army troops along the heavily defended Highway 44 along the Aegean coast, this will be a purely diversionary attack to draw of Hellenic Army troops. The 2nd will be in the south along the lightly defended E67 through the coastal valleys along the northern gulf of Corinth, this offensive will consist of 240,000 DSE and Red Army troops. The 3rd will be a landing of 20,000 Soviet Marines on the northern tip of the Attica peninsular.

Military

The Red Navy has long been the weakest branch of the Soviet Military. Now the 13 million strong Soviet Army is being shrunk to the size of 9 million. With 4 million men being demobilized this has opened up more military funding for the navy. The Navy high command, seeing the success of carrier fleets and destroyers have begun the building of a new fleet and the selling off of the old. The new fleet will be made up of carriers, cruisers, destroyers and frigates. The old battleships and heavy cruisers will be sold or scrapped.

The navy aims to create a fleet of modern ships by 1948

4 carriers
40 sub-marines
50 Cruisers
50 destroyers
30 frigates
As well as various supply, patrol and mine vessels which will not need to be built.

7 Soviet Battleships and 8 Soviet heavy cruisers will either be sold, moth balled or scrapped

Agriculture

Now one year after Nazi armies withdrew from Ukraine and Belarus, burning all the crops they could find, the new giant farms,with new farming equipment and methods have begun bringing in more and more crops. The bread basket of Europe (Southern Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) is back up and running.

Every Man a King

Huey Long's Share Our Wealth Speech

In a national radio address on February 23, 1934, Huey Long unveiled his “Share Our Wealth” plan, a program designed to provide a decent standard of living to all Americans by spreading the nation’s wealth among the people.

Long proposed capping personal fortunes at $50 million each (roughly $600 million in today's dollars) through a restructured, progressive federal tax code and sharing the resulting revenue with the public through government benefits and public works. In subsequent speeches and writings, he revised his graduated tax levy on wealth over $1 million to cap fortunes at $5 - $8 million (or $60 - $96 million today).

The full text of this speech, as printed in Long's official Share Our Wealth pamphlet (see right), appears below.

“EVERY MAN A KING”

Radio Address by Senator Huey P. Long, of Louisiana, February 23, 1934

Is that a right of life when the young children of this country are being reared into a sphere which is more owned by 12 men than it is by 120,000,000 people?”

Ladies and Gentlemen: —

I have only 30 minutes in which to speak to you this evening, and I, therefore, will not be able to discuss in detail so much as I can write when I have all of the time and space that is allowed me for the subjects, but I will undertake to sketch them very briefly without manuscript or preparation, so that you can understand them so well as I can tell them to you tonight.

I contend, my friends, that we have no difficult problem to solve in America, and that is the view of nearly everyone with whom I have discussed the matter here in Washington and elsewhere throughout the United States—that we have no very difficult problem to solve.

It is not the difficulty of the problem which we have; it is the fact that the rich people of this country—and by rich people I mean the super-rich—will not allow us to solve the problems, or rather the one little problem that is afflicting this country, because in order to cure all of our woes it is necessary to scale down the big fortunes, that we may scatter the wealth to be shared by all of the people.

We have a marvelous love for this Government of ours; in fact, it is almost a religion, and it is well that it should be, because we have a splendid form of government and we have a splendid set of laws. We have everything here that we need, except that we have neglected the fundamentals upon which the American Government was principally predicated.

How many of you remember the first thing that the Declaration of Independence said? It said: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that there are certain inalienable rights for the people, and among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;" and it said further, "We hold the view that all men are created equal."

Now, what did they mean by that? Did they mean, my friends, to say that all men are created equal and that that meant that any one man was born to inherit $10,000,000,000 and that another child was to be born to inherit nothing?

Did that mean, my friends, that someone would come into this world without having had an opportunity, of course, to have hit one lick of work, should be born with more than it and all of its children and children's children could ever dispose of, but that another one would have to be born into a life of starvation?

That was not the meaning of the Declaration of Independence when it said that all men are created equal or "That we hold that all men are created equal."

Nor was it the meaning of the Declaration of Independence when it said that they held that there were certain rights that were inalienable—the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Is that right of life, my friends, when the young children of this country are being reared into a sphere which is more owned by 12 men than it by 120,000,000 people?

Is that, my friends, giving them a fair shake of the dice or anything like the inalienable right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or anything resembling the fact that all people are created equal; when we have today in America thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of children on the verge of starvation in a land that is overflowing with too much to eat and too much to wear?

I do not think you will contend that, and I do not think for a moment that they will contend it.

Now let us see if we cannot return this Government to the Declaration of Independence and see if we are going to do anything regarding it. Why should we hesitate or why should we quibble or why should we quarrel with one another to find out what the difficulty is, when we know that the Lord told us what the difficulty is, and Moses wrote it out so a blind man could see it, then Jesus told us all about it, and it was later written in the Book of James, where everyone could read it?

I refer to the Scriptures, now, my friends, and give you what it says not for the purpose of convincing you of the wisdom of myself, not for the purpose, ladies and gentlemen, of convincing you of the fact that I am quoting the Scriptures means that I am to be more believed than someone else; but I quote you the Scripture, or rather refer you to the Scripture, because whatever you see there you may rely upon will never be disproved so long as you or your children or anyone may live; and you may further depend upon the fact that not one historical fact that the Bible has ever contained has ever yet been disproved by any scientific discovery or by reason of anything that has been disclosed to man through his own individual mind or through the wisdom of the Lord which the Lord has allowed him to have.

But the Scripture says, ladies and gentlemen, that no country can survive, or for a country to survive it is necessary that we keep the wealth scattered among the people, that nothing should keep the wealth scattered among the people, that nothing should be held permanently by any one person, and that 50 years seems to be the year of jubilee in which all property would be scattered about and returned to the sources from which it originally came, and every seventh year debt should be remitted.

Those two things the Almighty said to be necessary—I should say He knew to be necessary, or else He would not have so prescribed that the property would be kept among the general run of the people, and that everyone would continue to share in it; so that no one man would get half of it and hand it down to a son, who takes half of what was left, and that son hand it down to another one, who would take half of what was left, until, like a snowball going downhill, all of the snow was off of the ground except what the snowball had.

I believe that was the judgment and the view and the law of the Lord, that we would have to distribute wealth ever so often, in order that there could not be people starving to death in a land of plenty, as there is in America today.

We have in America today more wealth, more goods, more food, more clothing, more houses than we have ever had. We have everything in abundance here.

We have the farm problem, my friends, because we have too much cotton, because we have too much wheat, and have too much corn, and too much potatoes.

We have a home loan problem, because we have too many houses, and yet nobody can buy them and live in them.

We have trouble, my friends, In the country, because we have too much money owing, the greatest indebtedness that has ever been given to civilization, where it has been shown that we are incapable of distributing the actual things that are here, because the people have not money enough to supply themselves with them, and because the greed of a few men is such that they think it is necessary that they own everything, and their pleasure consists in the starvation of the masses, and in their possessing things they cannot use, and their children cannot use, but who bask in the splendor of sunlight and wealth, casting darkness and despair and impressing it on everyone else.

"So, therefore," said the Lord in effect, "if you see these things that now have occurred and exist in this and other countries, there must be a constant scattering of wealth in any country if this country is to survive."

"Then," said the Lord, in effect, "every seventh year there shall be a remission of debts; there will be no debts after 7 years." That was the law.

Now, let us take America today. We have in America today, ladies and gentlemen, $272,000,000,000 of debt. Two hundred and seventy-two thousand millions of dollars of debts are owed by the various people of this country today. Why, my friends, that cannot be paid. It is not possible for that kind of debt to be paid.

The entire currency of the United States is only $6,000,000,000. That is all of the money that we have got in America today. All the actual money you have got in all of your banks, all that you have got in the Government Treasury, is $6,000,000,000; and if you took all that money and paid it out today you would still owe $266,000,000,000; and if you took all that money and paid again you would still owe $260,000,000,000; and if you took it, my friends, 20 times and paid it you would still owe $150,000,000,000.

You would have to have 45 times the entire money supply of the United States today to pay the debts of the people of America and then they would just have to start out from scratch, without a dime to go on with.

So, my friends, it is impossible to pay all of these debts, and you might as well find out that it cannot be done. The United States Supreme Court has definitely found out that it could not be done, because, in a Minnesota case, it held that when a State has postponed the evil day of collecting a debt it was a valid and constitutional exercise of legislative power.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if I may proceed to give you some other words that I think you can understand—I am not going to belabor you by quoting tonight—I am going to tell you what the wise men of all ages and all times, down even to the present day, have all said: That you must keep the wealth of the country scattered, and you must limit the amount that any one man can own. You cannot let any man own §300,000,000,000 or $400,000,000,000. If you do, one man can own all of the wealth that the United States has in it.

Now, my friends, if you were off on an island where there were 100 lunches, you could not let one man eat up the hundred lunches, or take the hundred lunches and not let anybody else eat any of them. If you did, there would not be anything else for the balance of the people to consume.

So, we have in America today, my friends, a condition by which about 10 men dominate the means of activity in at least 85 percent of the activities that you own. They either own directly everything or they have got some kind of mortgage on it, with a very small percentage to be excepted. They own the banks, they own the steel mills, they own the railroads, they own the bonds, they own the mortgages, they own the stores, and they have chained the country from one end to the other until there is not any kind of business that a small, independent man could go into today and make a living, and there is not any kind of business that an independent man can go into and make any money to buy an automobile with; and they have finally and gradually and steadily eliminated everybody from the fields in which there is a living to be made, and still they have got little enough sense to think they ought to be able to get more business out of it anyway.

If you reduce a man to the point where he is starving to death and bleeding and dying, how do you expect that man to get hold of any money to spend with you? It is not possible.

Then, ladies and gentlemen, how do you expect people to live, when the wherewith cannot be had by the people?

In the beginning I quoted from the Scriptures. I hope you will understand that I am not quoting Scripture to you to convince you of my goodness personally, because that is a thing between me and my Maker; that is something as to how I stand with my Maker and as to how you stand with your Maker. That is not concerned with this issue, except and unless there are those of you who would be so good as to pray for the souls of some of UK. Rut the Lord gave His law, and in the Book of James they said so, that the rich should weep and howl for the miseries that had come upon them; and, therefore, it was written that when the rich hold goods they could not use and could not consume, you will inflict punishment on them, and nothing but days of woe ahead of them.

Then we have heard of the great Greek philosopher, Socrates, and the greater Greek philosopher, Plato, and we have read the dialogue between Plato and Socrates, in which one said that great riches brought on great poverty, and would be destructive of a country. Read what they said. Read what Plato said; that you must not let any one man be too poor, and you must not let any one man be too rich; that the same mill that grinds out the extra rich is the mill that will grind out the extra poor, because, in order that the extra rich can become so affluent, they must necessarily take more of what ordinarily would belong to the average man.

It is a very simple process of mathematics that you do not have to study, and that no one is going to discuss with you.

So that was the view of Socrates and Plato. That was the view of the English statesmen. That was the view of American statesmen. That was the view of American statesmen like Daniel Webster, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, William Jennings Bryan, and Theodore Roosevelt, and even as late as Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Both of these men, Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt, came out and said there had to be a decentralization of wealth, but neither one of them did anything about it. But, nevertheless, they recognized the principle. The fact that neither one of them ever did anything about it is their own problem that I am not undertaking to criticize; but had Mr. Hoover carried out what he says ought to be done, he would be retiring from the President's office, very probably, 8 years from now, instead of 1 year ago; and had Mr. Roosevelt proceeded along the lines that he stated were necessary for the decentralization of wealth, he would have gone, my friends, a long way already, and within a few months he would have probably reached a solution of all of the problems that afflict this country today.

But I wish to warn you now that nothing that has been done up to this date has taken one dime away from these big fortune-holders; they own just as much as they did, and probably a little bit more; they hold just as many of the debts of the common people as they ever held, and probably a little bit more; and unless we, my friends, are going to give the people of this country a fair shake of the dice, by which they will all get something out of the funds of this land, there is not a chance on the topside of this God's eternal earth by which we can rescue this country and rescue the people of this country.

It is necessary to save the government of the country, but is much more necessary to save the people of America. We love this country. We love this Government. It is a religion, I say. It is a kind of religion people have read of when women, in the name of religion, would take their infant babes and throw them into the burning flame, where they would be instantly devoured by the all-consuming fire, in days gone by; and there probably are some people of the world even today, who, in the name of religion, throw their own babes to destruction; but in the name of our good government, people today are seeing their own children hungry, tired, half-naked, lifting their tear-dimmed eyes into the sad faces of their fathers and mothers, who cannot give them food and clothing they both need, and which is necessary to sustain them, and that goes on day after day, and night after night, when day gets into darkness and blackness, knowing those children would arise in the morning without being fed, and probably go to bed at night without being fed.

Yet in the name of our Government, and all alone, those people undertake and strive as hard as they can to keep a good government alive, and how long they can stand that no one knows. If I were in their place tonight, the place where millions are, I hope that I would have what I might say—I cannot give you the word to express the kind of fortitude they have; that is the word—I hope that I might have the fortitude to praise and honor my Government that had allowed me here in this land, where there is too much to eat and too much to wear, to starve in order that a handful of men can have so much more than they can ever eat or they can ever wear.

Now, we have organized a society, and we call it "Share Our Wealth Society," a society with the motto "Every Man a King."

Every man a king, so there would be no such thing as a man or woman who did not have the necessities of life, who would not be dependent upon the whims and caprices and ipsi dixit of the financial barons for a living. What do we propose by this society? We propose to limit the wealth of big men in the country. There is an average of $15,000 in wealth to every family in America. That is right here today.

We do not propose to divide it up equally. We do not propose a division of wealth, but we propose to limit poverty that we will allow to be inflicted upon any man's family. We will not say we are going to try to guarantee any equality, or $15,000 to a family. No; but we do say that one third of the average is low enough for any one family to hold, that there should be a guarantee of a family wealth of around $5,000; enough for a home, an automobile, a radio, and the ordinary conveniences, and the opportunity to educate their children; a fair share of the income of this land thereafter to that family so there will be no such thing as merely the select to have those things, and so there will be no such thing as a family living in poverty and distress.

We have to limit fortunes. Our present plan is that we will allow no one man to own more that $50,000,000. We think that with that limit we will be able to carry out the balance of the program. It may be necessary that we limit it to less than $50,000,000. It may be necessary, in working out of the plans that no man's fortune would be more than $10,000,000 or $15,000,000. But be that as it may, it will still be more than any one man, or any one man and his children and their children, will be able to spend in their lifetimes; and it is not necessary or reasonable to have wealth piled up beyond that point where we cannot prevent poverty among the masses.

Another thing we propose is old-age pension of $30 a month for everyone that is 60 years old. Now, we do not give this pension to a man making $1,000 a year, and we do not give it to him if he has $10,000 in property, but outside of that we do.

We will limit hours of work. There is not any necessity of having overproduction. I think all you have got to do, ladies and gentlemen, is just limit the hours of work to such an extent as people will work only so long as it is necessary to produce enough for all of the people to have what they need. Why, ladies and gentlemen, let us say that all of these labor-saving devices reduce hours down to where you do not have to work but 4 hours a day; that is enough for these people, and then praise be the name of the Lord, if it gets that good. Let it be good and not a curse, and then we will have 5 hours a day and 5 days a week-, or even less than that, and we might give a man a whole month off during a year, or give him 2 months; and we might do what other countries have seen fit to do, and what I did in Louisiana, by having schools by which adults could go back and learn the things that have been discovered since they went to school.

We will not have any trouble taking care of the agricultural situation. All you have to do is balance your production with your consumption. You simply have to abandon a particular crop that you have too much of, and all you have to do is store the surplus for the next year, and the Government will take it over.

When you have good crops in the area in which the crops that have been planted are sufficient for another year, put in your public works in the particular year when you do not need to raise any more, and by that means you get everybody employed. When the Government has enough of any particular crop to take care of all of the people, that will be all that is necessary; and in order to do all of this, our taxation is going to be to take the billion-dollar fortunes and strip them down to frying size, not to exceed $50,000,000, and if it is necessary to come to $10,000,000, we will come to $10,000,000. We have worked the proposition out to guarantee a limit upon property (and no man will own less than one-third the average), and guarantee a reduction of fortunes and a reduction of hours to spread wealth throughout this country. We would care for the old people above 60 and take them away from this thriving industry and give them a chance to enjoy the necessities and live in ease, and thereby lift from the market the labor which would probably create a surplus of commodities.

Those are the things we propose to do. "Every Man a King." Every man to eat when there is something to eat; all to wear something when there is something to wear. That makes us all a sovereign.

You cannot solve these things through these various and sundry alphabetical codes. You can have the N. R. A. and P. W. A. and C. W. A. and the U. U. G. and G. I. N. and any other kind of dad-gummed lettered code. You can wait until doomsday and see 25 more alphabets, but that is not going to solve this proposition. Why hide? Why quibble? You know what the trouble is. The man that says he does not know what the trouble is is just hiding his face to keep from seeing the sunlight.

God told you what the trouble was. The philosophers told you what the trouble was; and when you have a country where one man owns more than 100,000 people, or a million people, and when you have a country where there are four men, as in America, that have got more control over things than all the 120,000,000 people together, you know what the trouble is.

We had these great incomes in this country; but the farmer, who plowed from sunup to sundown, who labored here from sunup to sundown for 6 days a week, wound up at the end of the time with practically nothing.

And we ought to take care of the veterans of the wars in this program. That is a small matter. Suppose it does cost a billion dollars a year—that means that the money will be scattered throughout this country. We ought to pay them a bonus. We can do it. We ought to take care of every single one of the sick and disabled veterans. I do not care whether a man got sick on the battlefield or did not; every man that wore the uniform of this country is entitled to be taken care of, and there is money enough to do it; and we need to spread the wealth of the country, which you did not do in what you call the N. R. A.

If the N. R. A. has done any good, I can put it all in my eye without having it hurt. All I can see that the N. R. A. has done is to put the little man out of business—the little merchant in his store, the little Italian that is running a fruit stand, or the Greek shoe-shining stand, who has to take hold of a code of 275 pages and study it with a spirit level and compass and looking-glass; he has to hire a Philadelphia lawyer to tell him what is in the code; and by the time he learns what the code is, he is in jail or out of business; and they have got a chain code system that has already put him out of business. The N. R. A. is not worth anything, and I said so when they put it through.

Now, my friends, we have got to hit the root with the ax. Centralized power in the hands of a few, with centralized credit in the hands of a few, is the trouble.

Get together in your community tonight or tomorrow and organize one of our Share Our Wealth Societies. If you do not understand it, write me and let me send you the platform; let me give you the proof of it.

This is Huey P. Long talking, United States Senator, Washington, D. C. Write me and let me send you the data on this proposition. Enroll with us. Let us make known to the people what we are going to do. I will send you a button, if I have got enough of them left. We have got a little button that some of our friends designed, with our message around the rim of the button, and in the center "Every Man a King." Many thousands of them are meeting through the United States, and every day we are getting hundreds and hundreds of letters. Share Our Wealth Societies are now being organized, and people have it within their power to relieve themselves from this terrible situation.

Look at what the Mayo brothers announced this week, these greatest scientists of all the world today, who are entitled to have more money than all the Morgans and the Rockefellers, or anyone else, and yet the Mayos turn back their big fortunes to be used for treating the sick, and said they did not want to lay up fortunes in this earth, but wanted to turn them back where they would do some good; but the other big capitalists are not willing to do that, are not willing to do what these men, 10 times more worthy, have already done, and it is going to take a law to require them to do it.

Organize your Share Our Wealth Society and get your people to meet with you, and make known your wishes to your Senators and Representatives in Congress.

Now, my friends, I am going to stop. I thank you for this opportunity to talk to you. I am having to talk under the auspices and by the grace and permission of the National Broadcasting System tonight, and they are letting me talk free. If I had the money, and I wish I had the money, I would like to talk to you more often on this line, but I have not got it, and I cannot expect these people to give it to me free except on some rare instance. But, my friends, I hope to have the opportunity to talk with you, and I am writing to you, and I hope that you will get up and help in the work, because the resolutions and bills are before Congress, and we hope to have your help in getting together and organizing your Share Our Wealth Societies.

Now, that I have but a minute left, I want to say that I suppose my family is listening in on the radio in New Orleans, and I will say to my wife and three children that I am entirely well and hope to be home before many more days, and I hope they have listened to my speech tonight, and I wish them and all of their neighbors and friends everything good that may be had.

I thank you, my friends, for your kind attention, and I hope you will enroll with us, take care of your own work in the work of this Government, and share or help in our Share Our Wealth Societies.

I thank you.

Dear Comrade Cardenas,

The KGB has informed me the Mexico has a number of B-29 superfortresss bomber (or variations). The USSR would like to buy 2 of these aircraft so we can study and improve them. We can then sell improved models to our allies, including Mexico. The USSR also has around 800 BT-7M tanks which we could sell to Mexico. We have replaced the BT-7 with T-34/85s and LT tanks which we could also sell to you.

Sincerely,
Leon Trotsky

Colonel Lin Biao read the message from the rebels. "Idiots" he said to his 2nd in command. "Load all the artillery & tanks, aim them at those MG positions". From the ridge they were on, they had a good view of the town and the defenses around it. "Radio the RAF, bring in a couple of Il-2s. We will show the imperialists what we can do." As the planes arrived, about 1/2-2/3 of the towns population left, in fear of the battle to come. 5 minutes later, two Ilyushin Il-2 Šturmovíks, the famed ground attack planes of the Eastern Front flew over the low hills around the town. They turned upwards, going strait up for around 8 seconds, they then banked down wards, diving towards the defenses around the town. They fired their cannon and each plane dropped its two HE bombs, sending up large plies of dirt. The two planes started climbing again, then dived, this time firing their 8 rockets. Although the rockets were aimed at the defenses, many missed their targets and hit building in the town .

After the two planes left, Biao looked through his binoculars in to the town, around the perimeter of the town, he saw the rebels setting up new defenses and clearing away the many dead. "Tell each tank to prepare 4 shells, pick a target and on my mark fire". He looked at the town one last time then gave the order "Fire". The 12 T-34, 2 TL-2's and one SU-100 fired on the town, sending up massive columns of fire After the smoke settled, Biao ordered the next volley, then two more. "Good, now order the three cruisers in the bay to fire one shot from each of their 8 inch guns." The message was sent and the ships fired in to the town. After the rebels had faced the air, sea and tank attacks he sent one more message.

To IJA Rebels

You have felt the power of our artillery and air force. I give you one more chance to surrender.

Colonel Lin Biao, Chinese Red Army

Instead of responding to the Red Army in the form of messages, the rebels responded in the form of Knee Mortars and old Type 92 Battalion guns. The light artillery were fired at the Red Army, along with some shots from Japanese snipers. Some Japanese rebels tried escaping the town to relay back a message to a larger rebel force that they need support.
