Vladivostok, Russia
The Russian Pacific Fleet has received a few new vessels. This comes as Putin's naval construction program dating back to 2013 if finally finishing. Joining the Pacific Fleet are the destroyers Kutuzov, Bagration, and Petersburg. One frigate as well was deployed, the Ivan.

Complementing the Russian naval build up in the Pacific is the deployment of 2 marine divisions, having been formed and trained for a possible invasion of the UK. They are equipped with the latest equipment and most experienced officers.

The purpose of this Pacific build up, is still unknown, as the Kremlin refuses to comment.

Syria and Jordan, although they are allies of Russia, demand a private conference with Putin to see what the Pacific Build-Up is all about. Should Putin refuse, Assad and Abdullah have a little plan they've been rehearsing for a while. Only the two know what the "little plan" is, but they guarantee it will be very effective.

Catalonia, Spain

From the Headquarters in Catalonia Martin Paradelo heard news that the group of anarchists he sent to the Balearic Islands and Catalonia have been relatively successful with minor casualties and injuries. He decided that he is going to send a letter to good old Mr. Putin.

To: President Vladimir Putin
From: Secretary General Martin Paradelo

Greetings, I know that you have probably not heard much about me because the World News is not very fond of Anarchists. But I was wondering if you would be able to me and my fellow comrades achieve our goal in taking control of Spain. I know we have our Ideological differences but we can make very valuable allies to you in Western Europe. I hope you can help, thank you.

Moscow, Russia
Putin was sipping his usual morning coffee when he received the letter from General Secretary Martin Paradelo. Taking one last sip, he prepared to write another letter.

To: General Secretary Martin Paradelo
From: Vladimir Putin
After spending 5 minutes in thought, I am going to assist you in your effort to take over Spain. While I do not agree with your ideology personally, I recognize a good investment when I see one, and I think this will pay off. After the sending of this letter, I will be sending a Russian "volunteer corps" via sea and air consisting of 4 guards mechanized divisions. I shall also transfer a 500 fighters to bolster your air force. Once you win the war, I will gladly welcome you into the Eurasian Alliance.
Signed,
Vladimir Putin

Thursday, Solomon Islands

In the past few days, assets had been moved to the Solomon Islands in what soldiers called the Great Awakening. Of course, if Japan would strike, it would be a new experience for the soldiers.

Off the NZ Coast, 3:30 AM, Friday, North Island

JDS Atago, JDS Ashigara, JDS Ōsumi, JDS Kunisaki along with 3 Subs. Altogether, a mighty force loaded with 50,000 troops and of course cruise missiles. The Commander of the Fleet, Atikuk Malen, sat abroad the JDS Atago looking over the glistening water below as they approached North Island, New Zealand. Of course, as with any Friday morning, a steamy Indian Curry was being handed out to the crew on all ships. As Atikuk received his, he quickly bowed and proceeded to indulge on the delicious Indian Curry along with a cold saké, a Japanese beer.

Off the NZ Coast, 3:35 AM, Friday, North Island

Atikuk sat silently at his desk, trying to think deeply about the effects of a full takeover and invasion. As Atikuk thought about it silently, he quickly ushered over a soldier, Mark Jan, a young man who immigrated from the U.S to Japan.

Please get me a radio here immediately.

Yes sir!

With that, Mark scurried off and quickly grabbed a Radio. After what seemed like hours to Atikuk, Mark arrived with the radio. As he silently shuffled it onto the table, Atikuk signaled for Mark to leave. H then began speaking on the Public Military Frequency.

ATTENTION AUSTRALIAN FORCES IN NORTH ISLAND, WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED, PLEASE SURRENDER TO REDUCE BLOODSHED, OTHERWISE EXPECT AS QUICK AND MIGHTY RETALIATION.

After that, Atikuk walked outside and issued command for all ships.

Everyone prepare all of the weapons, all cruise missiles please be aimed, soldiers check your weapons.

Damascus, Syria

"Hey, this isn't good."

Assad looked up from his breakfast. "What?"

"Japan's attacked Australia," Abdullah shows Assad the newspaper article. "They've just asked for surrender, and no one gets hurt."

"OK, I know Australia has been a real flip-flopper with us, but, we can't let Japan take them."

We can't fight the Japs and the U.K. at the same time.

I think we should help take out Japan, Australia has helped us in many ways recently and I think that he should be saved, you said the only reason you wanted Australia to stay out is because they are under threat from Japan, well now you can take out Japan and gain a new member Australia. Besides no war has officially been declared and your Russia, I can help to.

Amidst recent tensions, Colombia has begun production of a new APC, called the Vampid.

[The United States of American Patriots]

Madrid, Spain

A group of 20,000 anarchists from the CNT have marched all the way from Barcelona in Catalonia to Madrid as a demonstration of strength and willpower. This group is led by the General Secretary himself Martin Paradelo. The heads of the Spanish government are scared of this threat but they have been reluctant to make any arrests against the anarchists. Martin Paradelo tells most of the anarchists to stay around the city and commit acts of defiance while him and about 100 anarchists enter the head government building. The president of Spain secretly flees out the back door and flies on his private jet over to Venezuela. Now the Anarchists are in power.

[Gyrenaica]

The spanish president lands safely in Colombia and is escorted to a nearby hotel to be tended to.

"I know, but--"

"Just follow your own head, Assad."

Assad nervously swallows, and goes to the Damascus capital building to officially declare war on Japan.

We would be willing to hand over the north island of New Zealand if we can negotiate some rules. For one no more future aggressions against us and two no large military presence in the area.

Atikuk sat in his Captains chair abroad the JDS Atago, a young man ran into his office. Immediately saluting his Commander, he handed Atikuk the telegram. Attack grunted.

Seems the idiots want to meet, very well then. Send them a radio transmission immediately. I want a small detached boat to head to Auckland Bay, incase things get messy, I don't want any valuable ships within striking distance. Send 5 armed guards and Mark, he seems suited for the job.

Yes sir!

ATTENTION! WE ARE SENDING A DIPLOMAT TO AUCKLAND BAY.

[The Imperium Empires]

President Vadker was extremely angry about this and said make sure they don't pull anything funny. Auckland bay was well defended with loads of guard everywhere. The Ambassador was waiting for the diplomat.

Mark was a young confident man, standing at 6'2. As he arrived, him and the guards quickly debarred while two guards, dressed in traditional Imperial uniform, quickly hoist the Japanese flag.
