Russian-Kazakhstan border, Wednesday, March 7, 1939

With the sun rising among the Ural Mountains, a Large Russian Armored brigade charges into Kazakh land, the Roar of KV-1s and BT-7s echo throughout the Mountains. The Armored division rushes into a Village, killing stationed soldiers and killing some civilians putting up resistance.
this would be the same throughout the Russian Invasion of the Northern border, a message is sent to Astana asking them to surrender, and hand over the Northern Border area. The Russian populous was feeling merciful enough to spare them.

[Greater Redosia]

1939, Astana, Kazakh Socialist Republic


The capital of the Kazakh SR was bustling with activity as people walked the streets of the small capital, images of hammers and sickles dotted the walls and other communist imagery as well. The people ignored each other as they made their way to work, that being at the factories, local farms, or several other jobs within the city that they had. Several officers of the Vanguard Party were looking down at the streets, not impressed with the current state of affairs within the city or the country. Especially with the message sent by the Russian Republic, which Trotsky decided to take it into his own hands with a radio address to both the people of the Soviet Union and the people in Russia.

"Comrades, workers, farmers, fellow equals. It has come to me in the form of the message that the Russian Republic has evidently invaded the nation and expect us to surrender, a nation that was so called founded on democracy not even dare asking the people if they wish to go out and die for no gain. People of the world, people of the Russian Republic, people of the Soviet Union, I ask you to take up arms against these invading oppressors that dare call themselves a democracy. For a democracy goes with what the people wish, the proletariat must not follow what the bourgeoisie capitalists must say, but must instead rise up against them. Mothers do you wish to see your sons go off for an unjust cause, to die for a Republic who would slaughter another's people? I for one do not, I for one do not see this as a Russian "Republic", only a continuation of the much hated Empire from Czar Nicholas the second! To you traitors of the people, we will not surrender! The light of the revolution shall live on!"

Northern Border Regions

Battle was raging heavily as the Southern Red army was facing off against the invading Republic forces, slowly getting pushed back due to the armor being used by the Republic. Though the Red Army countered with their own BT-7s and T-26s, as well as close bombing support from the Po-2 air squadrons. Not only that, small patrols of three TB-1s would fly out and begin bombing the trans-siber railway. If the Russian Republic wished to take this land, they would need to face veterans from the Russian Revolution and Civil War. They also hoped that international volunteers much like that during the Spanish Civil War will come to support them in their time of need, only time will tell if this were to be the case.

Tallinn, Grand Baltic Union, 1939.
Jaakob Mikkelsaar's office is messy. Lately the Kõrgeim (Literally: the Highest) has been exhausted with a decision. His fascist party has been propelled to the top of society, with most of the Baltic States in support in of this revolutionary movement. They are stuck with a choice between continued neutrality or the support of fascism in the hotbed of political activity that is Europe. What will The Baltic States become?

Tokyo, Japan

It was far into the night, yet that did not keep Nekoyashiki from remaining glued to his paperwork. Everything needed to be done diligently and perfectly for his report to the Tennō, the august personage who was the descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu-ōmikami. As someone who was brought up every day to revere the kami and to avoid impurity by his grandmother, Nekoyashiki felt goosebumps on his arms whenever he thought about approaching the Emperor. It was as though approaching a living shrine.

Japanese newspapers were filled with slogans: “Asia for the Asians,” “Preserve the Kokutai,” and “Hakkō ichiu,” the famous words ascribed to the first Emperor, a prophesy of the Japanese race's right to rule. In military circles, there was talk about an impending conflict with the Russian Republic. None of them had forgotten the humiliating peace treaty that Japan had been forced to sign in 1905. Japan, cheated out of it's rightful spoils by the Western gangsters, would be avenged.

War Room. Beijing. China.
"General Han Tang. You are to launch your offensive against the Communists. General Shang, I want the nationalist stronghold destroyed by New Year. General Xia, you will bring Tibet back into the fold. Is that understood?" Emperor Gao said to his subordinates as they kowtowed before him. "China shall once again be unified under imperial rule and the Zhong Guo will be restored to its former glory. Chiang Kia-sheik lost the Mandate of Heaven when he failed to destroy the rebels, Tibet will be punished for its insolence, and Mao Zedong's head will be paraded through the streets of Beijing." General Shang said to Emperor Gao, the Emperor simple dismissing them with a hand gesture as his Minister of Intelligence arrived. "Ah, the Fat Scorpion. What have news have your Hawks and Doves managed to get their talons on?' Emperor Gao said to the Minister of Intelligence who was instructed to only answer to his codename during times of war and turmoil. "The ones in Shanxi have confirmed what the captured rebel officer revealed during his interrogation. Even if Mao Zedong escapes, the offensive will deal a devastating blow to his rebellion." The Fat Scorpion said to Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao smiling at the news that the offensive will be successful even if Shang failed to kill or capture Mao Zedong. "Continue with your operations. Keep me updated on important events." Emperor Gao said before dismissing the Fat Scorpion with a hand gesture. "Servants, where is my food and drink? They were supposed to be here before the meeting with my generals!" Emperor Gao shouted at the top of his lungs, the servants rushing in with a feast, giving apologies and excuses.

Winter Palace War room, Petrograd, Russia

Russian Generals sit around a table, with a map, sitting on the table showing the Central Asian theatre. The President of the Russian Republic sits at the head of the table. "Is the conquest to establish a pro-Axis democracy in the USSSR doing well?" The president would ask. "Yes Sir, the Armored divisions have taken a few areas of the Northern border." One of the Generals would reply. "Very good, The Cossack units should be able to capture Atrau region with the assist of an Infantry brigade." President Vladimir Roccosovky would say. "That could be the case, but we are unsure if there are any armored divisions in the city, or a defending infantry brigade." The General would say, unsure. "We should fly a reconnaissance plane over the city, we can take some photos of the cities defences." The president would recommend. "Great Idea sir, I'll send an order for one." The General says.
They all get up and leave the room.

Tsaritsyn Airbase, Volgograd, Russia

A Flight Commander walks into a hangar full of SB-2s, I-16s,and Po-2s. "Alright tovarishte! we have an order from Petrograd!" he'd yell. "What is it, sir?" A flight sergeant would ask. "We need some recon photos of Atrau! this could be a checkpoint in the establishment of a new government in the USSSR!" The Flight Commander would yell. "Yes sir, You heard the man! Boris! get in your SB-2! go take those photos!" The Sergeant would yell to a pilot. The pilot would run to his SB-2 and taxi his plane to the Runway. His plane would then take off, headed towards Atrau.

[Strala]

Xi'an
Mao Zedong and some of his top officials and officers were sitting around an unlit table at the dead of night. Joining them would a relatively new Major that grew up in the city of Nanjing. He is Liu Bao Rui, he is the son of a scientist and while his family wasn't poor he would remember how many people have hardly anything to eat. When the communist party was created in China he eagerly joined. He signed up as a party member and when the war broke out he joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Army. He proved himself to be a decent commander and was eventually promoted to the rank of Major. Mao began "Comrades intelligence says that the new "Emperor" is sending one of his generals to invade us. What they will receive instead of a welcome party is hell itself. We shall attack them at any time and at all costs. They do not have the spirit as our men do and the Nationalists have agreed to ally with us against this common enemy. After all both Chang and I fought to remove the Warlords and this new "Emperor" was a former warlord. He is also a fool, does he not see how his people suffer and yet all he does is to try to remove us. He also does not realize that China is different from 100 years ago. The people don't want an Emperor especially the intellectuals. They want someone to understand their suffering. On that aspect, we are gaining more support more than ever. They obviously hate the new Emperor." When finishing this part his Mao's voice turned somber. "Comrades I do not expect most of us to live through this especially me, but remember this we are all but a small grain of sand on a large beach. They will kill some of us but they can't kill all of us. We will inspire others with our deaths. We will be remembered as Martyrs that fought and died for a revolution that was meant to help the people. Liu Bao Rui you will be entrusted with the defense of the Southern Portion and you will be given 20,000 soldiers. You shall set up ambushes and make life a living hell for the enemy.

When Mao finished Liu spoke "Comrade Chairman you must live on. I don't care how much of us here need to die to do that but you are the only way to continue the revolution. We are all tools but you, you are the worker the person that operates the tools. We can continue but none of us would work together. I know that you have the best interest of the party in your heart but what good will your death do for us. Please forgive me for that but you will find that what said is true and everyone would agree." When he finished he could see that almost everyone in the room was clapping and like he said Everyone voiced the same thing. It was finally agreed that if the fighting got too close everyone was to protect Chairman Mao and that no matter the sacrifice Mao had to escape. It didn't matter if everyone but Mao died, what really mattered was that Mao survived. That night no one in camp slept and by dawn, the separate commanders went to the direction they were supposed to guard. The South was an easy position to defend since there were mountains and that would work for them. As they marched the Flag was flying high and it was comforting to him and his men. They knew that even if they were going to the die they knew they would fight to the last to save the banner. As they marched Liu Bao Rui got off his horse and let tired and injured soldiers ride on the horse instead.

When they finally reached the Mountains they were exhausted but in high spirits. Everyone immediately started to set up and prepare for the defense. Tunnels were dug, trenches and foxholes were made inside the mountains. The mortars and cannons were set up in hidden locations that still had a great vantage point. That night everyone was given meat and some rice wine. They weren't given too much but everyone drank some. When they finished they smashed the bowls they drank from and vowed that they would die together. They knew that there was no turning back now and if they die they would die for the glory of the party. Many were afraid to die, they thought about their family. What would happen to them when they received the news. Liu Bao Rui knew what would happen so he told them,"Comrade would you rather have your family enslaved to the new Emperor. You running away and letting that happen would only bring shame upon you, your family, and your ancestor. If you stay here and die defending them and help stop the Imperialist pigs, then you would make your family proud and your ancestors proud. I know you are scared comrades but I am too, but steel yourselves. This is for the survival of our families and party." When Liu Bao Rui finished there was only one thing that almost every soldier was thinking. I will defend this post with my life.

On the same day, 5,000 thousand men were also sent to help the Kazakh Socialist Republic. They were sent to help a fellow communist nation, and the men sent were all veterans from the Civil war.

War room: Grand Palace in Warsaw

The leaders of the Czech-Polish Reich sit around a grand oak table. A map of Eastern Europe lies soon the table, with the placement of their units and allied units represented by small figures. The 3rd tank division and the 4th and 5th infantry divisions were on the border of the EESSR. General Władysław Sikorski‘s 7th infantry and 2nd tank divisions had been placed in the north, while the 1st tank and 6th infantry were placed in Slovakia. The navy was put on high alert.

The Czech-Polish Reich had formerly been Poland, a weak and backwards nation with no military, however it’s admission into the axis powers had allowed them to gain German technology such as tanks, planes, and guns. These, along with German-style industry allowed a miser army to arise. This army was 500,000 active duty personnel strong with 800,000 in reserve.

OOC: I will call the Czech-Polish army polish, seeing as 90% of soldiers in it are polish.

“Our air force has received a shipment of FW-190s. We also have many JU-87s on standby”
“Good order the 15th fighter squadron to go to Bratislava to retrieve them”

The polsi armed forces had been flying a routine training flight 2 weeks before, when hey had spotted a massive buildup in the EESSR. After further investigation and scouting, it was discovered that many European nations were building up. This was predicted due to rising tensions, however no one in the army had been prepared for it to move this quickly. Swift action, however, had allowed the Polish armed forces to ready to 90% of full preparedness in 2 weeks.

The polish forces were almost ready, however the 11th artillery division required some of the larger rail guns and pieces which were still on there way. But the commanders patience was running thin, and war was on the horizon.

"General Chang, I have received a black ribbon message!" Major Chong said as he handed a scroll with a black ribbon that had the Emperor's seal on it wrapped around it, the bronze rings in his beard shining like diamonds in the sunlight. General Chang removed the ribbon and unrolled the scroll, smiling after a few minutes of reading. "Burn this message and have the troops ready to march west by dawn. We will win glory, lands, and plunder for China." General Chang said to Major Chong, rolling up the message and handing it to his subordinate. "The fool Trotsky will pay for the border skirmishes that claimed so many Chinese lives." General Chong said to General Chang as he left the war room, Chang memorizing the rousing speech he had prepared for months. With the Red Army focused on repelling the Russian Invasion, General Chang now had the opportunity to expand the Chinese Empire's borders westward while gaining glory from the Western Army's victories.

A Russian Messenger taps up a message headed towards the Chinese Emperor himself. the Message would read: "Dear Great Emperor of China,
we ask for negotiations over the state of the USSSR, and how can partition the land. - President Vladimir Roccosovsky of Russia"

Central Asian Theatre

While a message is being sent to the Chinese Emperor, a Cossack unit and large infantry unit would enter the limits of Atrau, experiencing some heavy resistance from enemy forces, another Infantry unit would March through the north, meeting up and assisting the other Infantry brigade. While some of our forces are capturing or killing the remainder of Enemy troops within the city, the rest fortify it, trying to prevent any other enemy units from entering, and finally, the city would be captured.

Herr Ambassador, the Czech-Polish Reich would like to offer a mutually beneficial deal. In exchange for the lands of Western Poland and the release of your claim on the Czech Republic, we will give you the German-majority lands of Danzig and East Prussia. We also would request to keep the small southern edge of East Prussia, where many Polish families had migrated.

"It seems the political tensions inside the nation are not on the way of healing. During a routine debate in the Royal Parliamentary House, there was a large walk-out by the left leaning Centalist Inclusive Party. A Representative later confirmed the walk-out to be connected to the Traditionalist Parties new foreign relation bill calling for closer relations between Ifaltannia and the Czech-Polish Reich. The Centralists feel that the bill could thrust Ifaltannia into the international spotlight and could risk upsetting relations with the Germans, who as of now, have not responded to the proposal of this bill.

We will be launching a full scale offensive along their entire border, not gambling the entire invasion of their territory on a single assault.

1939

Cyprus Romano, the Facist leader of the Franco-Italian Republic had recently been establishing a plan to collaborate with the Greater German Reich to fully annex and split Switzerland in half.

The Franco-Italians would annex the west side closer to France, with the Reich taking the east.

This would help with borders and provide a safe place for the two leaders two meet in private while not being attacked because of its immediate neighbors.

Of course they couldn't just walk into Switzerland and just annex it, So they were steadily mobilizing forces to when the time was right to strike.

Cyprus decided that he should notify the Greater German Reich of the recent happenings around the world, to make sure when they might attack.

REICH CHANCELLERY, BERLIN, GREATER GERMAN REICH, 1939

Chancellor Van Brawn was sitting in his office on the third floor inner sanctum of the Reich Chancellery. He had three
seperate piles of paperwork ten to twenty pieces of paper thick each. He had been in his position since seven in the
morning and was expected by German law to remain in this position until six at night. His hair was frizzled, beard
stubbled, and eyes baggy, all the qualities of the most perfectly over-exerted laborer. His industrious trance was broken
when his energetic footman, Jan Nadel, came running in holding a stapled, threefold collection of papers.
Nadel: "Eure Exzellenz, Eure Exzellenz! Urgent news from Azia!"
Van Brawn: "Ehh? Oh, Nadel. Hallo."
Nadel handed the Chancellor the papers, and the Chancellor skimmed over them.

URGENT COMMINQUE FOR GERMAN CHANCELLOR VAN BRAWN, NEWS FROM SINO-RUSSIAN BORDER
Your Exellency, Chancellor Van Brawn, over the last few months the socialist states of Union of Southern Socialist
Republics and the Eastern European Soviet Socialist Republics have been building tensions with the Russian Empire
and the Chinese. Tensions are at their highest point in the last few months and are expectede to boil over soon.
For the sake of the Fatherland and of the Aryan race I implore you, Chancellor, to make a decision of who to align with.
To assist your decision-making I will list the upsides of siding with either the Russians, Communists, or Chinese:
Russians
[*] Large workforce due to large peasentry, large industrial output, good trade ally therefore.
[*] Great power, large army, great influence over weaker, satellite socialist republics, the Eastern European Soviet Socialist Republics are in the
way of Lebensbraun, use Russia to get them out of the equation and we'll have our living space.
[*] Monarchical, while Germany is anti-monarchy this does make the more powerful Russians richer and easier to freeload
off of, corruption is rampant in the monarchy and we could do that quite easily.
[center]Communists[/center]
[*] Who are we kidding, they're communists, they nearly tore our nation apart in the early-30s!
[center]Chinese[/center]
[*] They have an abundance of natural goods, like tea, opium, rice, other agricultural and recreational produce, etc.
They'd be good for trade, plus because of their immense population we could outsource labor to them, but, if we were
to get on their bad side, they could use that population, and their equally immense military, to reign hell on Germany.
Trust me, they'll find a way to traverse Eurasia to bombard Germania.
[*] If we want Russia to ourselves they could use their aforementioned military populace, in a coordination with ours,
to take out Asian Russia, like Siberia, Khabarovsk Krai, the Sakha Republic, etc so we could take European Russia. It'd
be a great accomplishment in the establishment of Lebensbraum.
Make your decision carefully, the future of the Reich is engraved in that decision. Lang lebe das Reich!

Van Brawn: Hmm.
Nadel: Who are you going to align with?
Van Brawn: I created the Partei des Obersten Deutschen Volkes under the promise that every act I'd do as a party
leader, then parliamentarian, and now chancellor would be in the best interests of the German people. One of the greatest
things I've promised my loyalists and Germany as a whole is Lebensbraum. I therefore side with the Russian Empire. Also,
contact the leader of the Franco-Italian Emperor and ask him if he wants to assist us to. There is a war brewing, my young
apprentice, Germany is going to be the centerpiece of it all! Lang lebe das Reich!
Nadel: Lang lebe das Reich!

This would help with borders and provide a safe place for the two leaders two meet in private while not being attacked because of its immediate neighbors.

Of course they couldn't just walk into Switzerland and just annex it, So they were steadily mobilizing forces to when the time was right to strike.

Cyprus decided that he should notify the Greater German Reich of the recent happenings around the world, to make sure when they might attack.

This is a bit unrealistic, and splitting Switzerland would result in a 2nd Great Depression, so this is going to be voided.

Prime Minister Rindalf Erikson's Speech To The Royal Parliamentary House

"As I speak, the country is divided on a controversial bill surrounding foreign policy in Europe. The Centralist Party, as we speak are pushing back any hope of the Gods that we have of passing the bill. But one thing is clear, and one thing we have managed to agree on. The Geo-political climate of the world is changing. Whether a conflict is to arise that I am not sure of. Regardless, our nation is not ready for this new age. Our Empire is barely an Empire anymore. Our Navy is a disgrace to all who have served it. Our Airforce is ill-equiped to fight in the smallest of conflicts. And lest we forget our Army is a shameful display. I've come here today with only one thing on my mind. Now is not the time to be choosing sides if a conflict is to arise. No. Now is the time to build up and be ready if a conflict is to arise. Could you call yourselves true Ifalts if you let the pitiful state of our military determine our might in the world? Let us for once put our differences aside and address the fact that our military needs greater funding, greater numbers and greater technology. Let us not fade into the minor nations page of a history book. Let us rise to a place we deserve!

Office of the Korgeim, Tallinn, Baltic Union
The radio broadcast begins:
"To the loyal, superior Baltic people.
Today will be the day Estonia-Latvia makes History. Today will be the day where we put ourselves where we should belong. Today is the day that we will ward off the threat to our East, and gain superiority in our area. Today is the day where we will join with Germany and her allies. They will assist in the defense and expansion of the Fatherland, and we will supply them with glorious Aryan soldiers and workers for the greater good of a pure Europe. Today is the day when we join the Axis Powers.
From the Korgeim."

The Korgeim relaxes in his chair. His decision will change many lives. It is for the greater good for a nation that has always been small and unimportant.

"Hail to the Korgeim! My Korgeim, you must follow me. The military parade will begin when you are ready.", explains the Head of the Armed Forces, General Kārlis Ulmanis.

Hundreds of soldiers pass the Körgeim, Saluting and chanting "Heil minu Körgeim! Heil Vöit!". Newly built tanks streamline through the square, the occupiers waving and saluting. A patriotic song is playing in the background.

A message is sent to the Baltic Union saying: "We will hand over our puppet state of Lithuania to you, only if you do not expand east, we shall deal with that."
