VICUNA DAILY LEDGERVolume 182, Issue 20222 July 1929WorldHeavy Fighting in Shishiri as Hoosier Forces Continue Invasion
Peter Thoroughgood, AP
Brasberge, Hoosier--The invasion of the Island of Shishiri that began last Monday continues into its seventh day, with heavy casualties being reported by sources within the Hoosier armed forces.
The Island of Shishiri was catapulted into the international spotlight in 1923 by the antics of Newne Carriebean, a nation renowned for its political instability, low quality of life, and high rates of mental illness. Following several skirmishes and a short war in 1924, the Empire of Nihon occupied the northern half of Shishiri while the Confederation of Northern States occupied the southern half. Iron Guard Hoosier took control of the Carriebean territories on the mainland.
In the years following the conflict, it appeared that the next war would erupt between the Confederation and Nihon. However, the invasion of Manchukuo by the Central Alliance back in April saw the Nihonese and the Confederates join forces. Sources within the Manticoran High Command have reported that the biggest fear of strategic planners is another “Battle of the Bog,” the grueling battle that saw the Confederation blunt a concerted Western League offensive during the Great War and a battle that saw some of the highest casualties of that war.
The Island of Shishiri is very different from the Northern States so there appears to be little worry of a recreation of the Bog. However, our sources do stress that the Nihonese and the Confederates are dogged foes and that casualties will most certainly rise as the fighting continues.Casualties Mount in Manchukuo With no Action
Akron Davis, AP
Khanbaliq, Almaty--As the 110th day of the war passes, Manticoran casualties continue to rise, even with no movement of the frontline since the offensive stalled in early May. Partisan groups in Occupied Manchukuo have been hitting railways, truck convoys, and supply depots while the Seventh Army attempts to conduct reconnaissance of Nihonese positions in the North Indianum Mountain Range. According to official reports, casualties have surpassed 72,000 and continue to rise everyday. When asked about plans for a future offensive, Seventh Army Chief of Staff Arnór Ákason said, “Offering comment on operational plans would unduly jeopardize the lives of Manticoran soldiers, sailors, and airmen. As such, there is no comment we can make at this time aside from informing you that we are preparing for an offensive.”
Some soldiers expressed confidence in their ability to drive the Nihonese army from the mountains, recalling the ease with which the Army advanced into Manchukuo. Older soldiers, veterans of the Great War, were more somber in their predictions. One soldier even made the very morbid prediction of which of the men in his company would not survive the assault.
With the arrival of the Third Army on Saturday, the mood has greatly improved among the troops, though there is an air of tension between the men in the Tank Brigades and those in the Cavalry Divisions, reflecting the often heated debates before the war about the future of armored vehicles in the Army. It appears that these gentlemen will soon have cause to put that particular discussion to rest, one way or another.Fierce Fighting in Rachana as Rachanan Army Fights for its Life
Kurt Vaughn, AP
Adrillas, Rachana--Since the Nihonese landings on the 11th of May, the Rachanan Army has fought fiercely to contain the enemy, joined in the line by troops from Breyburg, Hoosier, and Aydinir. According to sources within the Alliance command in Adrillas, some 90 divisions are holding the line in Adrillas against a Nihonese force estimated to be only 14 divisions strong at this point. When asked why the Nihonese have not been driven back into the sea, Alliance sources pointed out the presence of heavy Nihonese air and naval support making counter attacks difficult to coordinate. It has been indicated that there is a major transfer of Alliance aircraft to Adrillas in order to counter Nihonese airpower.The EmpireContinued Mobilization Straining Rail Networks
Dwain Wright, AP
Ostland, Manticore--The mobilization of some 48 million reservists has placed severe strain on the rail infrastructure of the Empire. Despite years of planning and skilled coordination, several units, particularly in Tamir, have seen their mobilization and redeployment delayed by a number of factors, including an a later thaw in northern Tamir that left several railroads under several feet of ice and snow until late June. Members of Parliament have been flooded with demands to ease the strain in order to allow Manticoran citizens to continue their own travel. Tens of thousands of people were left stranded on the spring holidays due to the mobilization order. With the war going well and no immediate need for large numbers of replacements or reinforcements, it is considered likely that Parliament will step down the mobilization efforts in order to reduce the strain on the rest of the population.Nihonese Expat Murdered
Irene Samson, AP
Reikland, Nuwe Afrikaa--A Nihonese expat was murdered by an enraged mob yesterday while traveling from a supermarket in northern Reikland. The expat, who as of yet remains unidentified by police, was attacked by several men and women who beat him to the ground before binding him with rope and then hanging him from a lamp post. The man was then doused in kerosene and lit on fire while he was still alive.
This is the thirteenth attack on Nihonese expats since the war began. In all but three cases, the victims were born Manticoran citizens, not migrants from Nihon. Two of the victims, Sir Thomas Toyokazu and Sir Kyle Hiromitsu, were decorated veterans of the Great War. Sir Toyokazu (KCBM) won the Adrian Cross and a knighthood after leading an assault on Skartenian positions in Tamir in 1918, an action that resulted in him losing his left eye and his right foot. Sir Hiromitsu (GCBM, GME) similarly won a number of awards, including two ACs, two knighthoods, and the Distinguished Service Order for actions in Nuwe Afrikaa against Arenginian and Aclusian forces.
In all cases no arrests have been made, leading to outrage among Nihonese expats, many of whom served with distinction in the Great War. Violence is particularly great between communities of Aydinirian descent and it is widely believed by police that the Aydinirian government is encouraging violence against all persons of Nihonese descent, including those who are citizens of the Empire. Queen Catherine has spoken out against the violence and has put forward a $10,000 dollar reward for each of the thirteen cases, seeking information leading to arrests.Passenger Liner Falls Victim to Nihonese Navy
Sarah Hodges, AP
Vicuna, Manticore--The Aclusian passenger liner RMS Olympic was sunk by a Nihonese submarine during its run from Yindrai to Zeeland. The Olympic was carrying over 3,200 passengers and crew when she was attacked Friday evening. Three torpedoes hit the ship and she sank within twenty minutes. Approximately 1,100 people were able to board lifeboats before the ship sank and were later rescued by ships of the Aydinirian Navy. Some 2,100 people were killed.

Kriegsmarine Modernisation Initiative Stage #1-Progress Report
The progress report that entails the construction of new warships so far.
Having been ordered in 1927, the 10x Erkhart class Battleships and 2x Günther class Battlecruisers have been laid down, and are set to be completed in 1931.
High Command has also seen fit to update the design request for the Nürnberg Class Light Cruiser, set to begin construction after the new batch of battleships and battlecruisers are finished. The ship is projected to be 9,040 metric tons, with a speed of 32 knots. Despite the slightly lessened deck armour, the light cruiser will carry substantially more weapons, with:
9 × 15 cm SK C/25 guns
8 × 8.8 cm SK C/32 guns
8 × 3.7 cm SK C/30 guns
8 × 2 cm C/30 guns
12 × 53.3 cm (21.0 in) torpedo tubes
120 mines
Though initially posed to contain less weaponry, the recent attack on the Combined Fleet in the Börland theatre, whereby several larger warships were damaged and even sunk by a large squadron of a hundred Boer light bombers, has led to a significant increase in anti-air capabilities. In fact, this sudden order for these new light cruisers is apart of the Kriegsmarine's new doctrine to increase the anti-aircraft capabilities of the fleet as a whole. After action report of the battle by Admiral Müller indicated a less than optimal amount of escort ships and anti-air capabilities to be the reason for the devastation of the fleet. By committing to this order, it will hopefully solve both the former and the latter.
10 of these Light Cruisers have been ordered.
End report.

To those who are concerned,
Usually, we would reach out to your government via channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; however, embarrassingly, established diplomatic channel to the Carriebean haven't been maintained properly for a long time, especially considering our only employee in the Foreign Affairs Office concerned with your nation was a sixteen-year-old intern who was given an internship by his uncle as a favour three years ago...
Anyhow, due to this issue, we have had to resort to alternative measures, hence Military Intelligence. I correspond with you on behalf of the Warglorian Reich. As you have heard, our recent conflict with the Traansval, Rannoria and various Indianum nations (though the latter has so far been indecisive in terms of action) has led to some problems, of which it would be in our best interests to get a third party involved.
It is because of this that the Warglorian Reich has decided to ask you for certain specialities: we request that you launch raids and attacks on the Traansval nation, the Communist Rannorians, and the various members of the Central Alliance as to disrupt their trade and generally unbalance them. Acts of "Piracy" if you will.
In return, the Warglorian Reich is willing to give you a loan of 8,317,962.13 Reichsmarks or $16,635,924 ($250,000,000 in 2020) and provide any equipment the Carriebean nation deems necessary. This inventory also includes a rather large stockpile of replica wood and sail warships and early black powder firearms, as well as replicas of other antiquities.
We hope that we can reach a speedy agreement.
Sincerely, Karl Canaris

Kriegsmarine Modernisation Initiative Stage #1-Progress Report
Unfortunately, due to strange magics and religious hoodoo, the battleships and battlecruisers ordered by the Kriegsmarine have been cancelled due to a lack of modern designs.
Instead, production shall be immediately diverted to concentrate on the new Nürnburg Class Light Cruisers. As supplies had most recently been gathered in preparation to build them, the Light Cruisers shall begin construction immediately and are projected to be completed by 1932.
The construction order has been somewhat edited, however, as High Command has decided to begin the construction of three new heavy cruisers. Named the "Wargland" Class Heavy Cruisers, these ships are unusual in that they carry armaments and armour usually found on a battleship, leading to many designers calling the ship a "Pocket Battleship." They, too, shall begin construction immediately and will be completed by 1932 as well. So, seven Nürnburg Light Cruisers and three Wargland Class Heavy Cruisers.
End report.

STOP-CARRIEBEANIAN DIPLOMATS AGREE TO YOUR PROPOSAL-STOP-GET ME ANOTHER FUCKING DONUT-STOP-IT’S BEGINNING TO STINK IN HERE-FULLSTOP
To: Karl whatever the fuck your last name was, Canaris? Canary? Something Mexican.
From: President of Carriebean Marvin Washvelt
I remember that fifteen year old that I invited into my house for some wine, what do you mean that’s called kidnapping and underage drinking? Well since I may or may not being getting arrested, I’ll keep this long and winding so the police have no choice but to let me finish my ramblings before I’m dragged away.
Oh, the kid’s now nineteen years old? Well congradufuckinglations to him, I’ll buy him a keg of rum. Little shit. So let me see if I understand your proposal, you want us to become fucking pirates? That’s fucking awesome. Why the fuck was I not told about this sooner, I’d be the first to sail across the seven fucking seas to board some tugboat shit. Have you tried some glorious carriebeanian nose candy? I’ll send you a pound of this enclosed in this letter.
So your modest proposal is that Carriebean conducts acts of piracy against Manticorian, Rannorian, Traansvallian, or Boer and other nations, and in return you’ll give us a shit ton of money that I can spend on more carriebeanian nose candy and military warships such as a new class of pocket battleships or light cruisers to terrorize the seven seas?
Sure, I’m down with pissing off our international relations, we’ll probably attack any ship we see once our navy is organized to a less than shitty standard. I mean we’ll have to man these ships with sailors that make our reserve fleet look like they’re actually competent, and by another comparison making the active navy personnel look like they’re paid professionals!
Considering most of my reservists have little in the way of experience in naval combat, naval terms and only know what water is and actually drink it, I’ll have to reeaally scrap the bottom of the barrel in terms of Carriebeanian talent. This means “sailors” (using that term very loosely here) that I’ll throw onto warships and have them raid enemy shipping. Sure, that sounds like a great idea! You’ve got your lucky little ass a deal!
PIRATE’S TALE, GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA AT IT’S BEST AND MOST HONEST!
WHO THE FUCK ARE WE AT WAR WITH?!
A Modest op-ed by Bob the Angry Hobo, acting leader of the opposition from January to May of 1929.
The leadership of Prime Minister Bantejø can seriously be called into question. I may just be a humble former leader of the opposition for four or five months and just munching on my own salted shit, which conveniently segways into this advertisement! Sick of dealing with cheap fucks who only buy you one Bob the Angry Hobo’s Guaranteed Shit sticks? Simply cut off their heads for a free second stick! That’s right! If you just murder some bloke from the street, you get a SECOND stick absolutely, no fucking about, free!
What a deal, which shall now Segway back into whatever the flying fuck I was talking about. Taxes? The Prime Minister? Oh yeah that fucker! I urge the construction of more capital ships for Carriebean, not only as a matter of pride, but as a matter of practicality. Not one nation, save from some shitty Indian niggers, is gonna be payin’ us some mad respect money, no sir no how.
I’ll give the Prime Minister this, he’s actively been attempting to construct warships needed for the fleet, so that’s good. That said, however, more must and will be constructed regardless of the economic malice on our people. They can starve or eat their own shit for all I care.
More battlecruisers and battleships will be constructed and manned by Carriebeanian souls. This shall also act as one driving force for our economy, in the construction and completion of larger capital ship classes.
More warships, be it smaller torpedo boats, destroyers or larger cruisers and destroyers must be either be constructed or sought out from allied nations to ensure a larger navy for Carriebean and the defense of her people. Should we exhaust the resources found on our little plot of land, we are faced with two primary options for continuing. Either we construct smaller ships to make the existing resources last longer per warship, or shall we petition our Nihonian allies to lend a few of their older warships that we can utilize? To this author, both alternatives must be actively pursued and explored to ensure Carriebean’s navy is at least subpar compared to other navies of a similar size.CARRIEBEANIAN CONGRESS APPROVES MORE MILITARY SPENDINGHelga Coupe, Internal Affairs Press General Secretary
On Tuesday, the Carriebeanian Congress approved a plethora of legislation and bills drafted by members of the center-left Pirate party to increase military spending. Among these bills are proposals for an allocation of funds more towards rifles, carbines and artillery pieces. One of the bills is an appropriations measure which legally grants the Carriebeanian government de jure control over all monetary finances of the local population, and to withdraw from their savings in order to support the war effort. De facto, however, this policy has been met with pushback and violent riots. This is due to people wanting to live off of their savings rather than go bankrupt in order to suffice the military beast that is the government.
Other bills include the breaking up of rocks and other materials for use in concrete and building materials, which the proceeds of would go towards funding military equipment and officer’s salaries. Graveyard banks have reported several government men conveniently bribing local officials to clean out the accounts of thousands of Carriebeaners.
The Imperial Carriebeanian Navy’s accountants have reportedly been seen dancing in the streets, as the government approves over 400 million in money for the construction of new capital ships for the fleet.
The Once Proposed J-Series Battleships have officially been gifted names of Bucaneer and Privateer for Hulls J28 and J65. Hull numbers J12 and J43 have not received names as of yet, though deliberations for the names have been argued back and forth. These ships date back to 1914 in their conception, though assurances of their modern updating have made those nervous to serve on such a vessel calmer.
A new type of vessel known as the “Baby Battleship” has been gaining steam in naval circles within Carriebean. A ship like this has the speed of a cruiser and the firepower of a very annoying old lady armed with a shotgun. The irritable female ancient one armed with a shotgun is comparable to a contemporary battleship.
CARRIEBEANIAN PROPOSED “Buccaneer” “Privateer”
Type: Battlecruiser or “Baby Battleship”
Displacement: 17,900 tons
Length: 700 feet
Beam: 103 feet

18 (2 x 9) Twin 2 inch light Casso Steelworks Cannons located with four on each side, another one located on the bow
4 x 21 inch torpedo tubes located in the bow
Complement: 1,295 enlisted and 105 officers for a total of 1,400 crew
Machinery and Top Speed: One Triple Expansion Engine and One Reciprocating Engine fueled with the help of 24 Bestton and Briten class wood fire boilers to reach an estimated speed of 26 knots
Armor (Belt): 5 inches
(Turrets): 1½ inches
(Deck): ¼ an inch

Reichskommissariat Sveria
Armed Forces Modernization Stage Alpa
Due to the outdated ships in service, the Sverian Government had been given the initiative to begin construction of new warships.
Navy
Orders for Scylla Shipwork Group:
1 × Nordwind-Class Aircraft Carrier - Nordwind
4 × Nordmark-Class Dreadnought - Nordmark Nacht, Fafsneer Draconum, Aglin Aegis and Westavia Kreiss2 × Van Kruz-Class Super Dreadnought - Admiral Van Kruz and Admiral Zeigurd
4 × Cerberus-Class Battlecruiser - Cerberus, Behemoth, Pedoleon and Hydra
Nordwind-Class Aircraft Carrier
After referring to the Conversions, the Sverian War Council had deemed a full Carrier be constructed instead. The armor design will be that of a Cruiser, carrying thirty two aircrafts within the specialized hull and an additional eight on deck.
It shall be outfitted with eight 20mm FlaK autocannons and additionally three 128mm Flak guns for added firepower against both air and seaborne crafts if need be.
The Belt armor will be 60mm thick, a 20mm thick Deck armor, by the slopes would be 45mm thick armor. Its flight deck will be 190m x 40m, long and wide-wise, sortied with a single lift.
Its displacement will be averaged around 18000 tonnes, equipped with a steam engine that is equipped with twelve boilers, producing 80,000 SHP.
Its speed will be simply 30km/hour with a range of 7,500km. Housing 800 men, both pilots, officers and men alike.
Nordmark-Class Dreadnought
Referring to the old Dreadnoughts, the future warships will be equipped with the Erika-Classes' gun configuration of four turrets, two on front and back, but after few disputes.
It has been decided that the Nordmarks would house four new prototype quadruple 34cm gun mounted turret instead of the 38cm guns. But due to issues, the guns would be configured in possibly 1935 at latest.
This will add up to a total sixteen main guns, surpassing the Erika and her successors. Giving her more firepower and subtle enhance on muzzle velocity and chances of hitting the enemy, she will be given additional twelve secondary batteries of twin 128mm cannons, six on either side with additionally 4 3.7cm single cannons, 2 on either side with additional four 2cm FlaK autocannons and 6 submerged 21 inch Torpedo Tubes.
She will feature an armor belt of 300mm in thickness, 42 to 70mm Deck armor, her turrets will be sealed shut with 300mm thick armor as well as a conning tower that is 300mm in thickness. Due to new a new proposal she shall be equipped with a 'AoN' design of armor.
She shall be installed a mixed steam turbines, triple-expansion steam engines and three bladed propellers to fire up nearly 39,000 SHP. Weight speculated would be simply 29,600 tonnes full load.
She shall be able to travel at a speed of 39km/hour, travelling as far as 8,000km before running out of fuel and housing a total of 970 men.
Cerberus-Class Battlecruiser
Going far off her original older sister, the Teufel-class, she is equipped with eight 330mm main cannons, sixteen 127mm secondary batteries, eight 37mm AA Guns and 24 2cm FlaK Guns.
Her armor is strikingly thicker with the difference being the Belt Armor, Main Deck at 115mm, Gun Turrets on 330mm and Conning Tower in 270mm, causing her to be similar at 54.6km/h and her armor scheme being set to the 'AoN' scheme.
Her propulsion of around 107,500 SHP and weight of 33,000 tonnes made her somewhat quick for a Battlecruiser, she will be given a compliment of around 1,381 men and officers alike.
Conclusion
The designations of AoN and TB had been discussed with Warglorian Naval Experts, they had been theorized and reviewed by many Experts and Naval Leaders, said armor schemes had been taken as learnt from previous engagements against enemy ships. Information is classified to what the difference between the two are.
The Capital warships will be finished in four years with the four Dreadnoughts perhaps taking six due to some lack of equipment or if issues arise.
For the Aircraft Carrier, Fafsneer had been contracted to build their newly designed biplane multirole. Prototypes will arrive in a few months and will be tested on Warglorian aircraft carriers after permission to use them had been granted.
Additional Notes
Super Dreadnoughts had been pulled over to Stage Betonne, a complication arose to the Grand Admiral’s attention and had her interested in a Super Dreadnought design featuring two main gun turrets on front with smaller guns on the back. The design will retain the previous name of the Van Cruz-Class Super Dreadnought, while the previous be renamed to Project CSD-1.
Army
Orders for Hirten Panzer Works
In light of a possible war, Hirten Panzer Works had been notified of future armored vehicles as such, the vehicle will be armed with a small AT gun, mobile, able to traverse the landscape with little to no problem and be protected from arms fire.
Prototypes and Reports to be added, Designs and Prototypes to be submitted in a deadline of September 1931.
Orders of Kruze und Zephyrus
Orders including:
100,000 rifles of G98Bs and Kar98As
50,000 HAG08
25,000 ASG09
Had been submitted, numbers will be achieved in approximately a year at best. Older rifles to be slowly phased out and sooner or later scrapped for metal.
Following orders:
New Mobile Light Machine Gun using a 30 clip magazine, or a drum magazine. Said LMG Prototype had been built and ready to be tested.
Mass Production due in 1930.
Cannons of 330mm and 380mm calibers are ordered to be manufactured, under their supervision and in cooperation of Strasbourg-Schneider Artillery Arms Manufacturer. The Reich had overseen such development, a Joint Development will be built in the near future. Proposals of the Cannons had been sent to the Reich. Due time, we will possibly arise fairly quickly as a Naval Power, not in numbers, but possibly through quality…
Although Overengineering might be a thing in such a development...
Air Force
Orders for Fafnir Air Manufacturer
Fafnir Fn101 Ddraig
A Prototypical Monoplane Fighter, capable of high speeds, charged with an engine of 300HP, the plane was deduced to be capable of taking on the fastest aircrafts around. Although speculations might be different from reality, it had been fitted with twin 8mm machine guns that were synchronized with propeller blades.
Fafnir Fn102
A Prototypical Biplane Fighter, given a role of reconnaissance on aircraft carriers, these nimble fighters had been capable of dropping small bombs with a small capability of dogfighting. But are preferred to be recons than actual fighter crafts or light bombers, we shall be importing those from the glorious Reich, designs and such are still coming forth for proposals.

To: The Confederacy of Northern States
From: President of Carriebean Marvin Washvelt
Upon recent depression in looking at my country’s pitiful coastline, given our status as a virtual city-state, we have opted to sell this coastline to your nation. Why yours? Well, we tried to talk to the Skartiens but before the ink dried on that offer, someone realized that selling your country to a nation that’s actively at war with you is bound to be a fucking bad idea.
As such, we’ve decided that the Northern States would be best suited for our coastline, given the fact that our naval efforts are oddly concentrating on constructing via the interior and our system of still controlled miniature river ports.
However, for this offer to be approved, you must also help us construct our new fleet, with our new order of 220 destroyers and a pair of battleships being a bit too much for our lone dockyards to scrape together. Should you have any warships that might need some tender love from Carriebeanian sailors, our government is more than happy to purchase a few vessels outright at an appropriately overpriced sticker.

It was now July, but ever since in May when word got out Princess Eltaryel of Adyinir had arrived, in attempt to marry the crown prince, it marked her as a target for Nihonese officials and Kenpeitai in the region. Now Officier Fujikawa was returning home for the debriefing. In Nasaira, the country had fallen into political turmoil. On June the 8th, the country fell into revolt. All people knew was that the royal palace had been sacked and everyone inside killed. Yet what they did not know was the secret Nihonese role. In secret, some of the rebels had been armed, and a whole operation readied to take out the princess. The rebels were reminded how the Aydinirians had never been friendly sending out their pirates, and even attacking Nasaira in the times of old. Yet it did not matter. When they entered the palace it was a massacre. And in that a terrifying success. They attacked many embassies including the Nihonese embassy, whose protection force numbered under forty hired guards yet also attacked the Manticorian and other embassies of hostile nations, dealing a toll to those enemies, and despite losses, a small victory. While it could not be claimed by Nihon, the Aydinirians had lost their princess, and now their leadership weakened further, and their hopes of taking hold of Nasaira completely destroyed.
