"Absolutely," replied the ambassador. "It only depends about the scale of pesticide required. There are the mechanized, uh, pesticides that could be handed over for the use of extermination. However, if you're looking for something a bit more subtle, well, the Soviet Union has always prided itself on its intelligence and infiltration capabilities. And there are recent investigations into a biological pesticide that have proven quite fruitful, as well."

Kim smiled slightly. “I am sure that the Dear Leader will be pleased to hear about these pesticides.

“The Dear Leader specifically asks for the Soviet Union’s unwavering support against the IRA, expecting you to merely back our claims that the Americans sank the ship in the Philippine Sea.” Kim shuffled some papers around before continuing. “I, however, am quite concerned with the IRA’s nuclear capabilities. I wish to know the status of the Soviet military’s response to this.”

"The Soviet Union is currently standing strong against the IRA in Mexico and Canada, and I see no reason to change this stance in Asia," the general stated. "In regards to the American nuclear arsenal, we are currently in the midst of upgrading our anti-aircraft capabilities near major cities and strategic areas. We are also working on a nuclear weapon of our own and it is predicted that the Soviet Army will have nuclear capability sometime in June. We are maintaining a counterbalance to a potential American attack with our biological arsenal, which we predict to be far more advanced than that of the Americans."

In regards to your recent cable, the Soviet Army has been working on a rocketry program for some time and are progressing steadily. However, we feel that international cooperation on a rocket program will be superior, and Minister for Internal Affairs Beria himself has proposed that the Soviet research facilities be transferred to the territory of the German Democratic Republic in a show of Socialist unity.

As for the defense of the Republic, should the Volksarmee be attacked, know that the Soviet Army will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its Socialist allies. If the Volksarmee requires further training, the Soviet Union would be pleased to train its personnel on advanced equipment or weapons.

All points have been agreed upon by parlament. However, the one exception is point 11, regarding the mole. Unfortunately the mole is not able to be located and hence can't be returned because we simply don't know were he is. We will agknowlege that there wasa mole who did leak information. However, he fled France a while back after discovering that the Canadian delegation was in Morocco. The mole's current location is unknown. But besides point 11, all else is good and we are ready to sign the treaty. Also, point 5 is not needed. the French shipbuilding industry is quite capable of rebuilding itself, but we thank the consideration.

Unknown location, Rashid Caliphate

The Caliph stands by the radio microphone yet again, his men holding it up in the middle of the desert. Behind him some of his men drag multiple prisoners out of the back of a truck. He begins to speak.

“To all of my brothers across the Peninsula, I promise you a great reckoning is coming. Allah gives us strength, he gives us perseverance, and he gives us hope. This blockade by the Imperialists and Socialists only proves that they are all nonbelievers and enemies of Allah. The Jews, Christians, Atheists and Shia are all our enemy. These men here are Americans who came to our country to drill for oil and use it to supply their corrupt atheistic nation. No longer.” The Caliph pulls a handgun and shoots one of the men dead.

“For everyday that the blockade is not lifted, more and more foreign oil workers will die. If we run out of oil workers, we will execute more nonbelievers. There is now blood on your hands non-believers. Tell us, how many are you willing to let die?”

“To all of my brothers in other nations, do not stop fighting. This blockade must not frighten us. We must continue to wage Jihad in the name of Allah. Only together can we did this world of non-believers and sodomites. Allahu Ackbar!”

“Allahu Ackbar! Allahu Ackbar! Allahu Ackbar!” His men chorused.

On behalf of the people of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Comrade General-Secretary Stalin request permission to establish a diplomatic mission to the hono(u)rable Polaria Republic to discuss a possible trade agreement and political agreement.

Alora'd grab the "little red phone" and called-up Stalin.

"Give it a go-ahead." She said, then suddenly hanging up.

Alora worried about Chairman Elena doing something behind her back, though she thought that since she was a close friend, she wouldn't. Her mind was still on the little pre-flight episode.

"I hate not being able to telegram," Alora thought.

"If there's one thing to worry about, it's Elena telegramming nations behind my back, well... since we had that little 'falling-out.' " She continued.

"Or the fact that she could be making DemSoc flyers and pamphlets and distributing them to rebels without-my-knowledge, but.." She tried not letting the fear get the best-of-her, as she still needed to do diplomacy with France, and couldn't just literally turn the plane back.

She'd call Polaria, Elena'd respond.

"What's going on? Anything get telegrammed your way? And, I hope you're not still mad with me over ideology." Alora asked.

"Politics-as-normal, but still normal since they didn't acknowledge us." Elena replied.

The German Democratic Republic can no longer turn a blind eye to the militaristic provocations of Western military deployments in Europe. The funneling of American dollars into the new imperialist projects of the American Empire all across Europe threaten the sovereign land, air, and waters of the German Democratic Republic and her allies. Therefore, in exercise of our nation’s right to defend its sovereignty, the Volksarmee has been ordered to establish an defensive perimeter around the Western-occupied zone of Berlin, as well as the greater Berlin metropolitan area, with the installation of several anti-aircraft batteries.

Furthermore, the suggestion of sabotage and espionage operations coming out of the Western-occupied zone of Berlin is a clear high-level national security threat. For the safety, security, and maintenance of peace in the GDR, therefore, a travel ban is hereby enacted along all terrestrial border ports of entry, in and out of the GDR, around West Berlin. Only citizens of the GDR and authorized countries will be granted passage through the border checkpoints, and all persons and cargo entering and exiting through a GDR border shall be subject to search and necessary security protocols.

My Dear Colleagues,

I hope you do not mind the rearrangement of some of our country’s security forces that we are putting into place around West Berlin. The heightened state of national security in the GDR requires that we initiate new border controls around West Berlin, and unfortunately terrestrial ports of entry from West Berlin to either East Berlin or the German Democratic Republic will not be open to Western civilians.

However, the positioning of aerial defenses does not signal a shutdown of air traffic. Allied-identified aircraft traveling in peace are free to pass through East German airspace and use limited refueling stations to reach the West Berlin occupation zones under their legal jurisdiction. Only terrestrial ports of entry to the GDR will be subject to the new traffic controls.

These protocols have already been relayed to our martial command, border security, and customs offices, and I trust us all to continue maintaining the peace between our nations.

Yours,

Dear Comrades,

I am pleased to bring President Pieck’s salutations to you all, along with the solidarity of all East Germans. It is my honor and privilege to stand beside you in defending the freedom, peace, and sovereignty of our fraternal nations. As I write this, the hundreds of soldiers of the German Volksarmee are moving into a new defensive position around West Berlin to keep an eye on the sky and safeguard our city from any potential foreign foul play.

However, these are preparatory maneuvers only, and our military posture has not changed. Western travel through East Germany is still permitted via air, as is unlimited Eastern Bloc access, of course.

We have also sent some of our best ex-Nazi rocket scientists along with our envoy delegations that we have sent to your countries, and in coming weeks I believe a cooperative international rocketry program will could be very fruitful.

Solidarity,
Lt. Ulrich Meinhardt

To: The East German Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

The French government appreciates the fact that East Germany has it's own security precautions and fears, however it seems a bit over the top to seal off all land borders to West Berlin. After all, West Berlin still requires the delivery of food and supplies. Please take into consideration the ramifications of this move by the East German government. But if the necessity arises, France will intervene to protect the people of West Berlin.

To: The Soviet Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

Tell East Germany to stand down immediately. If this goes on, the Americans will get involved, and we don't want that to occur. It is better for everyone if the status quo returns because any interruptions to such could be catastrophic.

We thank you for your military support in our time of need. Together we can stem the tide of communism. China shall not succumb to the Reds. We agree to your request to establish an embassy in Taiwan.

"Wait, how'd you get Eastgermany? I thought we had zilch communication and diplomacy with them. And why does their telegram look like that?" Alona asked.

"It's an outdated telegram system that they use. And I thought typewriters were weird." Elena said, laughing.

"Yup, and I'm not even fluent in German. I had to breakout a translator for that one." Elena continued.

"Well, did you intercept any of their coms?" Alona asked, worriedly.

"Nope. All of this was Breaking News." Elena answered.

"Well, the Eastgermans must be slow, news-wise, like us, huh?" Alona joked.

"I'll make that top priority to update all of our communications systems." Alona said, firmly.

"You still on the plane?" Elena asked.

"Yeah. It's hard to find out what's going on, worldwide. Polaria will never be late for any goings-on, in the Future!" Alona shouted.

Elena laughed.

"How's Trade?" Alona asked.

"Normal, I guess. Although, we've been sending more Polarian vehicles." Elena continued laughing.

"Look, Alona, all that stuff I said about DemSoc, you can just forget it. It's behind us, now." Elena said, not wanting to lose Alona's friendship.

"Bonne. That's all I wanted to hear." Alona said cheerfully.

She smiled.

"Aurevoire." She said, hanging up.

She'd finally get off the plane, and greet the French who were still awaiting her arrival.

We are maintaining a counterbalance to a potential American attack with our biological arsenal, which we predict to be far more advanced than that of the Americans."

“I was hoping that you were working on a similar program, that’s great news. I would like to make the offer of allowing Korean and Soviet scientists work together on this project. I feel this would boost the profile of the GKR, allowing our country to be respected globally instead of dismissed like we’re some second rate country. And with a stronger ally, it will only prove beneficial for the Soviet Union.”

The general cleared his throat, then smiled apologetically. "Unfortunately, because the Ministry of State Security is considered about the possibility of infiltration by the Americans, I am unable to allow Korean scientists to work side-by-side with Soviet scientists on our nuclear program. However, if the GKR would be so willing, the Soviet Union would be willing to give the GKR documentation on our existing blueprints and research. Additionally, we would be willing to support the GKR's construction of research facilities to support the development of a native Korean nuclear arsenal."

"Actually, there was only two major matters to discuss on our end: the copper trade and the Kuril Islands.

In exchange, we would be glad to transfer the Kuril Islands from Soviet control to Korean or Japanese control, as well as eliminate our own tariffs on certain exports to the honourable Greater Korean Republic."

[Slaver Pirates of Vaas]

Montevideo, Uruguay

One week following the coup that led to the formation of The Free State of Uruguay, Gerardo Díaz has been hard at work reforming the government and purging unnecessary government positions. Many government employees ended up being fired after the restructuring. Gerardo was also waiting on a telegram from the pirates for further orders besides what Gerardo was already tasking himself with. The economy, while small, was still much more advanced compared to other South American nations with the exception of Argentina and with the addition of black market activities freely going through the nation, as per Vaas's demand, it was likely destined to grow in size. However, in order to truly develop the economy as quick as possible as well as prop up certain industries, he needed international support. Gerardo was already planning on showcasing this newly formed nation to the world and he hoped with the prospect of trade, Uruguay can attract some wealthy investors and nations.

From: The Free State of Uruguay
To: All Nations
I am pleased to showcase to the world a new Uruguay! A Uruguay that has rid itself of the influences of their previous oppressors. I, Gerardo Diaz, am willing to allow foreign investment into my nation's vast ocean of economic potential. It is my hope that many of you will see the economic potential of this nation and will request a trade partnership for the mutual benefit of both of our nation's people. I should mention, considering the current predicament of today's global politics, that Uruguay will stay neutral during this time. My only mission is the growth of my nation's economy for the betterment of my people. As for those in Europe, however, the crimes that have been committed against us by those of European decent will not be allowed to invest in Uruguay's economy for both moral and political reasons.

Castries, Saint Lucia Island

"Diego, it is very nice to see you," Vaas said, congratulating Diego after he returned to Castries, "I see the coup when forward as planned and now we have puppet under our wing."

"Of course," Diego responded, "Gerardo will be a very good ally to us in the future."

"You might wanna add the near future as it seems we are going to have to make use of him soon. I did read those telegrams that you had forwarded to me."

"About Britain's threats and Korea's deal?"

"Yes, and I have begun to realize Britain is very much an arrogant nation. If those Brits truly wanted to keep these islands, they would have properly defended them all those years ago. But, if they want a war to satisfy their blood thirsty desires, then I suppose we have to give them one. Except their going to be fighting a war on our terms."

"What is your plan?"

"Since the British are too arrogant to realize the crippling state of their empire, I believe it is up to us to give them a wake up call. Our weapon smuggling efforts were very effective for the CSA rebels, so why don't we begin something similar in Africa?"

"This could work, especially since we have Uruguay as a launching point and a mass producer of arms. I'll send a telegram to them."

"Now about this Korea situation. I would not normally accept deals like this, but I believe we have an opportunity here to strengthen our power. Especially if we take into account the 'bounty'."

"I want you to go to them and negotiate an agreement."

“As you know, the mineral industry is booming for Korea. Behind Japan’s industrial sector, it’s one of the many reasons we have been able to become such an economic power.” Kim replied. “Elimination of tariffs on this industry is concerning to me, as it is such a large sector of our economy. With that said however, I feel that if the Soviet Union can agree to eliminate tariffs on oil, military goods, and natural gas then I feel the economic opportunity is about even for both of us, and along with the transfer of the Kuril Islands, would be enough for us to agree.”

While a warm welcome was expected, the current situation demanded otherwise. After France locked itself down, all flights had been cancelled regardless of the reason for their reason for flying to France. So when the diplomatic flight from Polaria arrived, the "warm welcome" was a group of soldier with rifles.

"All flights to and from France have been canceled thanks to the lockdown." The first solider said.

"You may not stay here any longer." The second soldier stated.

"Return to your plane immediately and leave. That is an order." The third soldier said firmly.

"Any atempts to dissobey these orders will lead to the use of all means necessary to make you comply." A fourth soldier stater firmly ad he readied his rifle.

"Leave France immediately. The situation is too dangerous. Return to where you came from." The fifth and final soldier demanded.

"We are sorry if this is an inconvenience, but it is the law. Good day." The first soldier ended the wierd stream of dialouge with that final comment and a tip of his cap.

"Well, since Alora's busy in Monaco, I still have to do something and not act like a chicken-with-its-head-cut-off." Elara said.

"Did she say anything about responding to breaking news?" Valorie asked.

"No, she just asked me about breaking news, and friendships. And we laughed alot." Elana told her.

"Sounds pleasant." Valorie responded.

"Well, what's first-order-of-business?" Valorie asked.

"I remember she said something about updating communications, and never being late again. I'll guess I'll do it for her." Elana said.

"I'm so used to her making orders and calling the shots, so this feels weird right now." Elana told her.

"I know. I can tell. I'm surprised no one's using this time to attack us." Valorie said.

"Well..." Elena said, shrugging.

Valorie would go into the next room, and immediately get to work on the telegraph.

Polaria shall henceforth work on its military standing, mobilizing the army, upping military numbers, and the Polarian Navy shall patrol the Mediterranean. Polaria shall also work on advancing communications and all technologies. Since Chancellor Alora Tristine is in foreign lands, presently, Polaria and its capitol of Valois shall be placed on high security alert.

Polaria essentially pulled an Eastgermany, with this telegram.

"Next telegram?" Valorie asked.

"Well, you saw what the hell happened in France and Turkey." Elana said, hinting.

"And there it is." Valorie said.

Polaria Republic shall be in a lockdown, and enacting anti-and-counterterrorist policies and rhetoric, making sure that the French and Turkish incidents are never repeated in Polarian Soil.

"I haven't thought about Religion, just Islam and Islamism as an ideology and culture. We generally try to steer away from it, and be vague/pseudo-secular, though the Polarian Empire had the Venusian Church." Elana said.

"Well, that's kinda Pagan." Valorie said.

"That's just a slur to the faith, but I guess the hardcore Venus-supporters can do tribute to her, like back then." Elana laughed, but essentially going forth with that idea.

Religiously, Polaria shall declare itself a Secular Venusian state, returning to the ancient faith of the fallen Polarian Empire and the goddess of victory, acceptance, and desire. As said previously, Polaria shall firmly take stances against Islamism, Caliphates and the suppressive religion of Islam.

"We must progress into the Future by looking back into the past and trying to prevent its mistakes. There's still Polarians that still fly the Imperial flag, and we still let them. We mustn't have a complete overhaul of our culture." Elana said.

https://img1.etsystatic.com/057/0/6098289/il_570xN.714710169_jnk3.jpg

"Okay. What else should we do?" Elana asked.

"I think the Soviets sent us a telegram." Valorie said.

On behalf of the people of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Comrade General-Secretary Stalin request permission to establish a diplomatic mission to the hono(u)rable Polaria Republic to discuss a possible trade agreement and political agreement.

"What does that even mean? Is it a request to build a Soviet embassy, or is it Stalin visiting Valois?" Elana questioned.

"I'm pretty sure Alora saw it, before she left. She probably okayed it. If it's them visiting, then no. We just locked-down. If it's an embassy, then no, though I thought we already had one, back during the beginning of the Post-Revolutionary Era." Valorie answered.

"We still need to address Stalin, though." Elana said.

"Okay..." Valorie responded.

Brother-in-arms Stalin and other Soviet leaders may wait until after this "Rashid Caliphate/Islam" situation has been dealt with, or the threat is minimized enough to allow other leaders to visit.

Monaco, France

While a warm welcome was expected, the current situation demanded otherwise. After France locked itself down, all flights had been cancelled regardless of the reason for their reason for flying to France. So when the diplomatic flight from Polaria arrived, the "warm welcome" was a group of soldiers with rifles.

"All flights to-and-from France have been canceled, thanks to the lockdown." The first soldier said.

"You may not stay here any longer." The second soldier stated.

"Return to your plane immediately and leave. That is an order." The third soldier said firmly.

"Any attempts to disobey these orders will lead to the use of all means necessary to make you comply." A fourth soldier stated firmly, and he readied his rifle.

"Leave France immediately. The situation is too dangerous. Return to where you came from." The fifth and final soldier demanded.

"We are sorry if this is an inconvenience, but it is the law. Good day." The first soldier ended the weird stream of dialogue with that final comment and a tip of his cap.

The soldiers then stood there, awaiting the departure of their guest. After all, those were the orders given to them.

"That's kinda disappointing," Alora Tristine said.

She'd immediately curtsy, turn back, and then explain to the pilot what'd happened.

The pilot would understand, rushing to get the plane started before the French soldiers opened fire. The plane'd blow smoke through the exhaust, since the engine/motor was being rushed to move. It'd take flight.

Alora'd take her heels off, and fall on the couch in the plane. All of this diplomacy and warmongering stuff'd made her tired.

With all that hassle, she could've went to Moscow, the Kremlin, but she didn't want to be in Russia's cold climate. South France, and specifically Monaco,a storied place, much like Polaria. The trip wasn't just a rendevous/RSVP with France, it was also a cultural visit. Paris, politically, wasn't a good place. The famed French capitol was demolished by the Axis Powers, specifically Chancellor A. Hitler's Blitzkrieg. Monaco, the rich city, and birthright to royalty, still stood, and grew richer. If Alora wanted to look at demolished lands, she would've gone to Germany or Stalingrad. It's like the French didn't know exactly how valuable and important the city was.

The Polaria Republic was politically, and culturally, regaining its ground, or making its ancestors, the very same ones they'd overthrew long ago, proud. The Polarian Empire rested with the Dutch, Ottoman, Chinese and other empires. The British refused to let their empire fall - the same empire that was around during the Polarian, and started around the 1700s. Polaria, the Polaria of today would stand with other historic revolutionaries. Maybe Elena was right, in the end. Or, maybe, Polaria should take more of its ancient, pre-revolutionary self. Polaria protected the Portuguese Empire, though it was now the Estado Novo. Italy, ever since the downfall of Mussolini and their Fascism, just stood there, not doing a thing. If Polaria weren't so historically-and-politically tied to the Portuguese, French, and Soviets, it would've been able to retake their - or some of their old Mediterranean lands.

Ceuta, Melilla and the two exclaves laughed in Polaria's face, mocking her. The two smaller claims of Gibraltar and Malta formed the shape of an "L" on their forehead towards her. All the mythology, legends, stories, tales, and so on from Polaria, or, the Polarian Empire, gave them their preciousness. For some reason, the British still valued those two. Maybe it was because of the past empire, and spiting it, or maybe it was just Destiny? "Empires can't last forever," was a lie. The French still lasted, but that's because they've absorbed their colonies and dominions into themselves. Some maps gave Polaria Tangiers, an important part of a greater whole. Some say if Polaria weren't so "Revolutionary," they would've went towards Fascism, or another Socialism. Nazism. The same Nazis and Fascists they fought, the same fascist they border, they could've (possibly) became. How ironic.

The plane'd fly back to the International Airport in Valois, Polaria.

Some time later

The pilot'd let the Chancellor sleep long, before gently waking her up. She walked out the plane, barefooted, and holding her heels. Elena was waiting for her, in a likely-foreign made car.

https://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/21/ ... r-side.jpg

She opened the door, squeezing herself in the back, not caring about the Passenger seat.

"I'm so tired. I think I'm tired, still. I slept back here." Alora told Elena.

"It's good to see you again, regardless." Elena smiled.

Alora nodded, lying on the leather. Elena'd turn on the radio. Some foreign Pop singer was playing.

"Ugh.." Alora groaned.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked.

"It's good music and all, but please turn the Radio back off. I don't want to hear anything political right now, it'll most-likely cutoff into a news broadcast or something." Alora answered.

"Alright." Elena said.

Elena drove back, though it looked like Alora was too tired to even return. She'd drive to Alora's house.

"Thanks." Alora told her.

"Don't mention it. What can friends do, am I right?" Elena responded.

Republic of Turkey

Funds for Economy Sectors
The three sectors, the agricultural and manufactured goods are the two largest sectors contributing to the GDP of Turkey since after WW2. As such, the government is using funds allocated from the 1949 budget to further improve the equipment, infrastructure as well as the overall process. Machines used will be modernized until the end of 1950 with the hopes of increasing Turkey's income in the long run. Meanwhile the steel-iron industry is on the rise as help in terms of equipment and advisors are pouring in from the USSR.

National Police Headquarters,
Istanbul.
Turkish National Police High Commissioner, Devlet Ortungu had a meeting with the Directorate of National Police on the current situation of public safety in Turkey. The results of the meeting dictates that more police patrols will be done in places where terror attacks are more likely to happen based on current intelligence reports of possible terrorist cells and priority of targets in the eyes of the operatives. The Special Action Police branch is now put on high alert in every provinces so that they will be able to respond fast to any possible threats.

Foreign Letters Dispatch,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Dear comrade,
Recently the Rashids have sent a threat that if we do not end the blockade immediately, more foreign workers and civilians will be killed. In the eyes of the Republic of Turkey, we will continue the blockade as to pressure the Rashids more but if the government of Canada wishes to end the blockade, we will end it as well. We will be awaiting your reply.

Dear comrade,
The Department of Armed Forces of Turkey wishes to inquire the possible purchase of 80 units of T-54 main battle tank recently put into service by your military. If accepted, we will proceed with the payments as soon as possible. Thank you.

After the warm greeting by the staff and the rest of the government, the delegates went back to doing their normal business. Taylor planned maps for war against the Rashids, Matilda made more charts, Tyler relaxed. And then the news of the French lockdown hit. Everyone panicked knowing Jaye was still on his way to Monaco. Tyler sent a telegram a soon as he heard the news.

To: French Minister of Foreign Affairs
Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Noah Jaye, is still in your nations borders as he was headed to Monaco to meet the Polarian leader. We request he is brought to French Denmark and then flown to Iceland. We must get him out of any danger. Thank you.
From: Temporary Prime Minister Roger Tyler of Canada

But more bad news was soon to come. A mass shooting in their colony of Suriname that left 18 civilians dead. It was horrifying, mainly because nobody thought the Muslim population in South America would rise up. But here they were. South America was crucial to Canada, because it provided high-demanded crops to be traded as well as being a colony blocking the Pacific from the Atlantic. So naturally, lockdown was commenced in Suriname as well as blockading Suriname from Africa and Asia. A telegram was sent to the other nations in South America.

To: Brazilian, British and Paraguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs
Due to the Muslim population in South America, as well as the shooting on our colony of Suriname, a blockade of Canadian ships are being used to make sure Suriname is safe from any threats, as well as lockdowns being put in place. We recommend you do the same.

China Times
Daily political and financial newspaper

The government is taking steps to normalize the financial situation of China. Financial analyst Wei Shao stated to our reporters, "The government seeks to implement a broadly reformist agenda that will kickstart the Chinese economy. The Kuomitang is now dominated by a new cradle of young, Western-educated politicians with technocratic background and a willingness to experiment rather than let things go on as normal. The government believes that only through radical reforms can China become once again an economic powerhouse. The reformist program of the government can be summarized as: financial assistance to small businesses, simplification of the tax code, land redistribution and protectionism. It can be described as 'National Liberalism', a combination of orthodox liberal economics with government intervention in the direction of protecting national production."

Premier Chiang Kai Shek mentioned to reporters, "Our government shall be bringing into parliament a bill that will establish the China Developmental Bank, which will finance loans to small-businesses with low-interest rates. This is the first step towards making China a business-friendly country. We shall also be bringing two other bills to slash regulations and cut taxes, in hopes to attracting foreign direct investment in the country. China shall become a beacon of freedom and prosperity in Asia and show that economic liberty is the way for a country to progress."

Economists are confident that the government's economic agenda shall see China experiencing increased rates of economic growth. Consumer confidence is recovering and polls show broad popular support for the economic measures.

[Sao Nova Europa]

China Times
Daily political and financial newspaper

Interview with Minister of Finance Yang Kang



What steps will the government be taking to support economic growth?

"Firstly, we shall institute the Chinese Developmental Bank. It shall provide NT$70 bn of lending over a period of six years with low interest rates. The main beneficiaries will be small businesses that want to expand and entrepreneurs who will be able to start new businesses. Secondly, we aim to simplify the tax code by abolishing a variety of taxes. National taxation shall be limited to a progressive income tax, a flat corporate tax and a Value-Added Tax, with 10% rate on basic goods and 18% on luxury goods. Local taxation shall be limited to a new progressive land tax that shall replace the current land, estate and house taxes. The overall tax burden of citizens and businesses shall go down while paperwork shall also be reduced. Simplicity is the key to attracting capital investment. Thirdly, we shall be establishing a 'Committee of Regulations' staffed by professors and economists to look into each individual regulation and slash those deemed unnecessary. Red tape will be eliminated."

The government is also seeking to implement an ambitious land reform program. What exactly would that reform program entail?

"We seek to put an end to the current gap between the rich and the poor and to ensure broad land ownership among the Chinese public. China must become a nation of private-property owners. Our land reform has two broad measures: the first is the sale of public farmland to tenants at low price, with payment spread over ten years. The second measure will be to enact a land-to-the-tiller program, transferring land ownership from landlords to tenant farmers. When ownership will be transferred, landowners will be compensated over a period of ten years, receiving 70% of the purchase price in land bonds to be redeemed in kind, with interest at 4% per annum."

The government is also considering tariffs?

"Indeed. With the revision of the Import Tariff Code, we shall be instituting a tariff rate of 90% for about 12% of imported goods, a rate of 60% for about 35% of imported goods and a rate of 10 to 30% for the remaining percentage of imported goods. Our goal is to protect our market from foreign competition and to ensure that consumers will be buying Chinese goods primarily. This will allow our nascent local industry to grow and expand without pressure from foreign markets. Of course, this will be temporary protectionism that is expected to last for a decade or so. Once we have established a national production, we will be gradually opening up our economy to the global markets. But by then, our industry will be able to compete with foreign industries on equal terms. If we did so now, our industry would be overwhelmed."

Do you believe that the danger of renewed conflict the Reds may endanger economic growth?

"Our government is seeking to focus on the economic development of the Free Territories of the Republic of China. We do not believe that renewed conflict with the communist bandits shall be resumed in the near future, though our armed forces are ready to repel any communist invasion and will eventually liberate the Mainland from Red occupation. Investors and local businessmen can be assured that China shall experience economic stability and that their money will be safe here."

But more bad news was soon to come. A mass shooting in their colony of Suriname that left 18 civilians dead. It was horrifying, mainly because nobody thought the Muslim population in South America would rise up. But here they were. South America was crucial to Canada, because it provided high-demanded crops to be traded as well as being a colony blocking the Pacific from the Atlantic. So naturally, lockdown was commenced in Suriname as well as blockading Suriname from Africa and Asia. A telegram was sent to the other nations in South America.

To: Brazilian, British and Paraguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs
Due to the Muslim population in South America, as well as the shooting on our colony of Suriname, a blockade of Canadian ships are being used to make sure Suriname is safe from any threats, as well as lockdowns being put in place. We recommend you do the same.

Algiers, France

Army troops and police patroled the deserted streets of Algeirs. The once busteling streets and markets where deserted, and people looked out of their windows in fear. Nothing like this had ever happened in France before. Many of the people also had their radios on as they listened to the news to hear of any updates. And then something incredible was heard.

"The French Government has confirmed that it has requested the Soviet Union join in the future conflict against the Rashid Caliphate. The call remains unanswered, but it is a change of pace from that of France constantly relying on her western allies."

To: The Soviet Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

in this trying time, France needs allies for the fight against Rashid. It is common knowlege that the USSR and France have been at odds before, but this should not change he fact that both of our nations are in this fight together. While both of our nations come from opposing ideological camps, it is in the best interest of our nations to cooperate on the Rashid problem.

The Kremlin, Moscow, Russian SFSR
USSR
May 1949
Boris Beshchev was enjoying a drink with his subordinates in his office. The Minister of Railways was in charge of overseeing Soviet Railways, the nation's state-run rail operator, but he had always taken pains to ensure that, at the end of each workday on Fridays, he had an hour or two off to relax and shoot the breeze with his subordinates. Leaning back in his plush office chair, Boris poured himself another shot of vodka.

"So, comrades, did you hear about the deal with the Turks?"

"Of course, comrade." That was Deputy Minister Sergey Timofeyevich, responsible for maintenance and repair of all cars and locomotives. Although he reported to the First Deputy Minister and not Boris directly, it was common knowledge that the First Deputy Minister was an MGB informant, and so the First Deputy Minister was avoided as much as possible. "Apparently, the rail lines in the south of the Union were suddenly swamped with all the traffic moving cargo around there, what with the railhead being there."

"It's a shame about the lack of rail connection," chimed in Luka Yubkin. Yubkin was another Deputy Minister, and he was in charge of the design bureau for the Ministry. "I've been getting complaints about the accessibility of the cars for a while now, because apparently they're a lot easier to unload at the main stations at the cities than the basic platforms near Turkey."

"I would offer the old fascist ones we captured, but they're all a different grade," replied Timofeyevich. "Stupid idiots couldn't even design a train that ran on Soviet tracks, so it's no wonder they lost the war."

The three men chuckled. Suddenly, Beshchev got a gleam in his eye. The other two men recognized it instantly.

"What is it, comrade?" asked Yubkin.

"We could solve this whole connection problem with one fell swoop. Why not run the tracks to Turkey? There's no particular reason to stop at a railhead and use trucks."

"Sure, comrade," replied Yubkin, "but Turkey uses a different rail grade than us. Our trains would not run in Turkey, even if the Soviet lines linked up to theirs."

"So we'll build the lines for them. We'll need special permission, but I'm sure that the Turks would like better access to our goods in exchange for having a Soviet rail line in their nation. Comrade, get on the phone to the maintenance division and see how fast they can get a construction unit to the southern railhead. And comrade Yubkin, get your design bureau working on this immediately. We need an engine that haul long-distance with limited coal use."

"Yes, comrade Minister." The two deputy ministers immediately switched into professional mode. Leaving their glasses on Beshchev's desk, they stood and quickly exited the office. Beshchev hauled out his typewriter, inserted a paper, and after a few seconds of thought, began to type a letter to the Foreign Minister.

Good day,

In regards to your request to purchase 80 of the new T-54 vehicles, I have ordered the Soviet Army to prepare these vehicles for sale on the condition that the Turkish government allows Soviet Railways to immediately begin construction of a rail line from Batumi, Georgian SSR, to Batumi, Turkey, in the Soviet rail grade. In addition, the Soviet Air Forces would be grateful to the Turkish government and military if the Soviet Air Forces were allowed to send Soviet aircraft and aircrews on combat sorties in support of the Turkish operation against the terrorist regime.

In solidarity,

V. Molotov,
Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet

Good day,

The Soviet Union would consider it an honour to support France, our friend and ally, and the growing internation coalition to eliminate the terrorist regime. While the Soviet Navy does not consider its shore-bombardment capabilities necessary for the success of the mission, the Soviet Ground Forces and the Soviet Air Forces are able and willing to provide air support and air superiority, especially considering the proximity of the Georgian SSR to the boundaries of the terror regime. I personally await your approval.

Cordially,

V. Molotov,
Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet

In order for Free China to be able to withstand the communist threat and eventually reclaim the Mainland from the Reds, we will be needing American financial assistance to allow our country to build up an industrial production. It is in the best interests of America to aid China in stabilizing its finances, as China is the only Western-oriented nation in the region. America should also consider the PR benefits of a Chinese economic miracle in the region, which can be presented as a success of capitalism.
