BLITZKRIEG: A World After the Blitz [OOC/AH/OPEN]

So, about the app...

[Democratic East-Asia]

I'm not worried about fighting Japan. They have an unruly population that's also quite poor to deal with. Also, the IJA was never particularly good, especially when it came to armor.

And you're going to crash your economy on military projects and such trying to outdo America and I, while my economy is in the process of growing in vassal states and such and is already kinda going on strong, so I'm not worried about you, either.

As for the IJA, and IJN, as well as the IJAF... if you hadn't noticed, in OTL, they all almost beat the US military. Had the Battle at Midway gone to the Japanese, it'd be the US facing invasion at the west coast and Hawaii facing annexation, rather than Imperial Japanese islands and such. Don't try to downplay our navy/military, please.

And don't forget that the USSR is facing just as an unruly population in Romania, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, the Baltics, and so many more.

Question - are you planning on doing anything in Africa? We have lots of resources for you over here.

A World After the Blitz - Nation App:

Nation Name [FORMAL]: The Free Republic of the Congo
Nation Name [INFORMAL]: Congo
Nation Name [NATIVE]: République Libre du Congo (French)
Head of State: President Antoine Gizenga
Head of Government: Prime Minister Moise Tshombe
Government Type: Parliamentary republic
Government Description: Only recently liberated from Belgian grip, Congo is still hardly stable - left-wing militias break havoc in the eastern parts of the country, there are numerous independence movements, and the government itself is fractured. However, Congo is still one of the first free African countries, and a democracy nonetheless.
State Religion: Christianity, more accurately Catholicism
Capital: Leopoldville
Territory: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... or_map.png
Population: 15 000 000
Military Pop: 0.5%, 75 000 soldiers
Allegiance: None
History: The winds of World War II and the resulting new order in Europe caused massive chaos in the Belgian Congo, one of the largest European colonies in all of Africa. As Belgium lost it's independence, it's grip over it's African colony weakened, and an independence movement, the Congolese National Movement, formed. This movement grew more and more powerful as time went on, and finally, in 1950, the tide turned and the Belgian colonial rule was disestablished in favor of the new Free Republic of the Congo, with Antoine Gizenga as the new President and de facto leader of the country.

The nation was soon to destabilize, as many opponent revolts began to plague the country. Katanga attempted to break away from Congo, but their efforts were soon stopped with a military intervention. A large portion of the Congolese are leftist sympathizers, too, and this led to the formation of a guerilla communist movement based in the east of the country, the Simbas. The army of the Republic has so far managed to defeat the communist insurrection, but they are regrouping in the jungles, led by Patrice Lumumba and Pierre Mulele, and Congo looks less and less stable by the day...

If my co-OPs have no objections, I'll start adding you to the map and add you to the roster soon.

We don't exactly need resources, but we will have interests there.

I foresee a partition of India. Kinda like Germany post ww2, OTL. I dunno, just an idea.

Not in my mind no. The USSR will fight for all of India. In the meantime, I'm preparing for a major war before 1960.

That's a bit unfortunate, because so will Imperial Japan and the US/UK. Tbh, the USSR, even with its allies, won't be able to completely invade/conquer India when facing heavy opposition from the Liberal government and its US/UK backers, and the Nationalist government with its Imperial Japanese backers.

I also doubt the Liberals/US/UK will fight as hard against the Nationalists/Pro-Japanese group as they will against the commies because as you pointed out, everyone hates Communism!

[Democratic East-Asia]

This is an undeveloped backwater you're talking about. The mostly uneducated people are probably as impartial to communism as they are to capitalism and possibly fascism. In the case of many poor people, communism might as well seem more preferable, especially after years of colonialism and an engineered famine (The Bengal Famine is real).

Don't forget proxy wars in Congo, that's our specialty

Need help adding Congo to the map, having difficulty translating the territory onto it.

Nation Name [FORMAL]: United Arab State of Egypt
Nation Name [INFORMAL]: Egypt
Nation Name [NATIVE]: مصر/misr
Head of State: Supreme President Hassan Mustafa
Head of Government: same
Government Type: Benevolent Nationalist Dictatorship
Government Description: Pure Autocracy
State Religion: Secular
Capital: Cairo
Territory: Egypt
Population: 22,223,309
Military Pop: 100,000
Allegiance: None
History: The United Arab State of Egypt arose from the ashes of the Colonialism. The Kingdom of Egypt was the first recognized government that had emerged from world war 2 and Egypt was used like a toy during the war. Unfortunately the new Monarchy wasn't as well received as was imagined and many began to believe that it was a British puppet state. Over the next few years larger nationalist movements began to form, many claiming that the monarchy was merely there to keep the peninsula open for the British and that the land was Egyptian and should remain that way. Misguided or not this anger reached a boiling point when a political group known as the Arab Egyptian Liberation Front sprouted up. It was a nationalist and secular group that sought to forge a powerful and independent Egypt as well as a promise to eventually gain lands that should be Egyptian in territory.

The AGLF grew in strength and even members of the military began to side with them. It's leader, Hassan Mustafa, initiated a coup in 1951, the King was captured during the coup and sentenced to prison, his family fleeing to other nations. Hassan dissolved the Kingdom and declared a United Arab State of Egypt and consolidated power to himself and his generals. The new secular government began large reforms, especially in the areas of infrastructure. A cult of personality has developed over Hassan and his government is now known as simply "The Hassan Regime". A benevolent dictator, he has become a national hero and is widely loved. However a elite secret police force (known as Cairo 51) exists however to crush foreign spy agencies and those disloyal to the regime and the revolution.


RP Example: It was freezing in downtown Chicago, but detective Ross Ketterer was warm after sipping on a flask of good whisky. He sat in his 1935 Chevy and watched as the blizzard outside scratched at the hood of his ride. A simple streetlight was all that was available in the darkness to see the shards of ice play with the paint. He was tired and at nearly fourty he was getting old for the job. A 38. special snub nose rubbed the inside of his coat as he waited for the notorious gangster Lanzo Divani to exit the small bar known as Harveys. It was a shit hole, known for prostitution and in the past boose running, a well established business. It wasn't long before the scumbag made his exit.

The Italian-American left the bar drunk as a skunk, cursing, which was normal for him. Alchohol could never solve Lanzo's family problems at home, and it wasn't going to solve his future either. Ross exited his vehicle and approached the gangster. Lanzo turned and saw the trenchcoat figure make his way towards him, eyes shadowed.

" Lanzo...it's time to go son..." The detective said, standing in the middle of a frozen over street, his coach glistening with ice.

Lanzo smiled wiping drool off his drunken mouth.

" The only one that going is you badge boy..." A sick twisted look on his face, his greasy hair dangling in the cold wind, his hot breath escaping his mouth and dissolving into the air.

" Don't do it..." Ross said, anticipating what surley would come next.

The two men drew down and fired with uncanny speed, even intoxicated Lanzo was able to fire at least two quick shots from a 1911, engraved with the words " Tomarrow is Tomarrow" in Latin on it's ivory grips.

Lanzo fell dead in the street, Ross missed two shots but a third had hit the gangster in the throat and out the back severing his spinal cord. The mob man was dead before he even hit the ground.

" Son of a......"Ross said as he felt a warm wet sensation on his chest.

Honestly, don't think I can say no to this...

[Democratic East-Asia]

Post up today or maybe tommorrow. Will get to removing Khan and testing a large 20 megaton hydrogen bomb, along with moving bombers to the far east.

Well, I'm assuming we have like a DMZ-type thing going on around our Manchurian border as well as on that island to Japan's direct north that Japan owns the southend of while you own the northend.

Positioning bombers and such, especially in military bases near that DMZ, will set off alarms for Imperial Japan.

I really don't think you wanna start a war with me... the US and other players are probably just looking for an excuse to invade you, and their logic will probably end up going "if they are willing to attack Imperial Japan, a superpower; what stops them from attacking us in Europe/us the US, another superpower?"

Basically, it'll be WW3 but the USSR will be crushed by a war on two fronts.

[Democratic East-Asia]

The US invading me? Even the RL USA was never that crazy. It would spell certain death to Western Europe, and be far too costly. If things go south too much, the US will either throw it all in or simply ignore. I don't plan on war anytime soon, but I do plan on helping the Chicoms liberate their homeland.

Japan and Europe are seperate stories. The US is probably far closer to Europe than Japan.

[Western Pacific Territories]

Well I'd sure hope it'd not come to nuclear bombs ideally. Our situation is going to be a little bit brighter in the future though.
With those Italian islands the distance between those and Romania is 493 miles in the furthermost south island.

Plus it blocks the Soviets from breaking out of the Black Sea. Nice.

[Military Lands of the Scottish People]

Google froze and deleted my entire post before I posted it. NICE.

It's nearly as good as having nukes in Turkey. Take that, Soviets!

It is a very specific situation to be honest. As much as we hate the Japanese they're the only thing keeping Asia from being 100% red. It all depends on the circumstances, and if this is followed up by a invasion.

And they're locked in in the Baltic as well, and may as well be in the Arctic. The only place they aren't locked in is in the Far East, and Japan undoubtedly completely outmatched them in the naval department anyway, so they really have little chance of using anything as far as navy goes, save for perhaps the Indian Ocean, though they'd have to fight the British navy there, which is much more accustomed to overseas fighting, and probably more powerful anyway.

You wouldn't get away easy. You'd be pretty easy to take after a war with Japan, actually. It'd be like the USSR and China fighting in RL, but even more evenly matched. Your nukes will only get you so far, since America and allies' nukes far outnumber yours, Japan or no Japan. Japan wouldn't be in any position of diplomatic power after such a conflict either, though.
