BREAKING NEWS: Today the German Army has made a deeper push into Canadian occupied Portugal. The Western Army and the 16th Infantry Division pushed deep into the south. Forcing a Canadian Army into a trap. While in the North the Western Army Spearheaded the Canadian Defensive Line. Isolating the Canadian Forces in Northern Portugal, and allowing the 7th and 30th Artillery divisions to fire at them from miles away, resulting in heavy casualties for the Canadians. Yet the German army is struggling to take the city of Lisbon, and we suffered several casualties outside of the City.

The Updated War Map

Now that the americans are guarding the Canadian Capital, Canada has sent over all 1.3 million of it's men. They broke through the Iberian Blockade by sinking 2 destinations, but not before more than 300,000 of them fell prey to our glorious U-boats, for which Canada has no defence, and shelling from other naval warships. As a result of this break.p, we have tightened the Blockade around the coast. So we are now able to fire along the coast, and damage Canadian Troops (shown on the map with red circles). In order to combat this new influx of troops, our Troops in Poland have now been placed in Portugal, under the name of the Eastern Army.

In Diplomatic news, we wish to point out the Canadian bluff. The USSR and Yugoslavs have a Non-Aggression Pact. Making it impossible for the USSR to attack Yugoslavia, unless they wish to go to war with all of the Axis Forces. The minister of foreign affairs is expected to make a statement about the United States and their assistance to Canada later today.

These Taxes will stop, when the United States pulls out it's troops from Canada. Ambassador Hans Thomsen

The USSR has announced it is deploying 2.2 million troops in addition to the 500,000 recently gained to invade China as a start to its offensive against Japan. With 2.7 million troops, we're slicing through the Chinese like butter, and we've already taken several towns and cities already. We are expected to reach Beijing in about 9 days, due to the sheer size of the country, and after that we plan to go south and end the atrocities Japan is comitting in Nanjing. Also, we would like to say that we do not appreciate Canada making false claims about our military plans. We have no intention of invading Yugoslavia just yet, and we are officially renouncing our support of Canada in their current conflict with Spain, Germany, and Yugoslavia.

Today, Germany has Drafted a new Army of 600,000 men in France, under the name of Der Armee Von Frankreich. They are going to immediately attack the British in the North. The World famous 9th Panzer Division is being deployed as well. And General Erwin Rommel is Standing with these men in France, it is near Impossible for the British to Take the territory, due to them being extremely outnumbered. Another 75 U-Boats are being sent to patrol the English Channel in order to try to torpedo the British as they land. The Luftwaffe also encountered British RAF forces over France today, we were able to shoot a few of them down, but several of them managed to escape. This is due to a lack of Usable Flax Guns. In response to this lack of aerial defence, the Ministry of War is giving Extra Subsidies to Companies that produce more weapons, and develop usable war technology in the French Territory. Although Reichsmarshall Göering doesn't wish for war with England, he says that he will stand for our territory, and that if this continues, England can expect an all out war.

Another force of 600,000men is being drafted in Poland, these men will be transported to France within the next 2 or 3 days. And Another group of 200,000 is staying in poland in order to defend.

In Economic news, the German Economy is slowing, due to a lack of trade with the United States, our agricultural market is suffering. Now that we can't rely on American Agriculture and Farming, we are having to Ration food, this is expected to be temporary. Our Manufacturing sector is mainly unharmed, but the Government is giving subsidies and aid to German Farming, and Farming done in our French Territory.

In addition the embargo, the US has declared a travel and communication ban with Nazi Germany and encourages other allied nations to do the same.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Kingdom of Yugoslavia Yugoslavia Begins Sale of Crops to Germany The government of Yugoslavia has begun selling crops to the German Reich after hearing of their recent food struggles. While this will surely not be enough to feed the entire German war machine, Yugoslavia wishes to provide as much aid as possible. Prince Paul Karađorđević of Yugoslavia

[Noxtrem]

Ministry of War Office of Der Reichsmarshall Trade and Economics We formally thank the Yugoslav Government for their assistance. We are now opening more European trade outlets to them. Thanks to them, we now only have to institute rations in some of our Southern Provinces, where the agricultural sector is weak. We also report that more than 20 american merchants and their cargo were seized in the past day and a half. And we also report that American Industry is reaching it's carrying capacity, due to a lack of Krupp Steel that they have to import from Germany. Yet sadly, we expect the tax rate to jump up to nearly 17% in order to compensate the French Farmers. Any domestic dissent against these policies will be met with punishment, And Germany is blocking all tourism from the United States. We also request that Spain, having a large agricultural base, begin trade with us. Your crops, in return for German Weapons. Reichsmarshall Hermann Göering

The Red Army has finally reached Beijing. There a battle took place between the 1.7 million Japanese troops invading from the East and the 2.7 million Russian troops coming from the West. So far, we have taken the entire Northern half of China. Due to air strikes coordinated by the USSR, we managed to weaken the Japanese troops by about 200,000 as well as splitting up their divisions, allowing us to easily take out another 900,000 so far. However, this battle has not been without cost on the Russian side. We have lost around 700,000 troops so far, and the amount of casualties is expected to rise as we head further south. Especially now that we are just about to enter Nanjing and drive the Japanese troops out. Because we are predicting lots of casualties, we are instating a draft in the USSR. All able bodied men 20-55 years of age must sign up. This will give us another 1.5 million troops, however, these troops will need to be trained before they will go to battle.

After driving out the Canadian military, with moderate losses, the Spanish troops retreated to Spain and relieved the Yugoslavian defense of their protective duties. Spain now requests that Portugal either be freed completely, or freed and made a puppet of Spain. While Spain appreciates the military support, the German government should not be interfering with the actions of the people of the Iberian Peninsula and their governments.

By this point, the Red Army has taken all of China. The only real resistence we faced from the already weakened Japanese army was in Nanking, and we were able to easily drive them back. The rest of China took minimum effort to conquer, and we have gained a very large piece of land for the USSR and the Allies. We do not plan on invading Japan yet, so we are going to keep our invasion force stationed in China for the time being. Also, 200,000 Chinese men so far have been captured and forced into the military.

With a total of 2 million forces now in France (half of our military!) we have begun a counterattack against the Canadians. The Western and Eastern Armies have taken the bulk of the casualties. But there is no way that the Canadians could handle something like this. Our 2 Million against their 1.3 Million. We have several Panzers on the ground to Combat the Canadian Armoured forces. Yet, our panzer II light tanks have fared poorly against the Canadian Crusader III tanks, due to a lack of frontal armour. But of Panzer IV Medium Tanks are faring well. The Canadian Tanks don't have the mobility or the firepower to penetrate the Armour of the Panzer IV. And we are winning the day! The Reichsmarshall is giving Canada one last chance to surrender and retreat to Their Mainland. Or else their entire army will be crushed by our overwhelming numbers and technology. His only terms is that Canada Retreat and Publicly Announce their Defeat to Germany. If they refuse, more than a million Canadian troops may die.

They Number a total of 550,000 men now, and they are being forced out of the country, our force count is France has been dropped to 1.7 Million, from our casualties. The Eastern Army and the Western Army are headed to Brittany to fight the British, not that Canadian troops aren't a problem. The Reichsmarshall is still offering peace to Canada.

In other news, the German 9th Panzer Division managed to contain the British Tank Forces in Brittany. An army of over 50 Panzers fought a British expeditionary force in Brittany. Our Panzer 38(t) Tanks managed fairly well against the light an nimble British Cruiser III Tanks. But what we lacked in speed, we made up for in Firepower and Cold Steel! Our Panzer 38(t)'s are equipped with more than 30mm of Frontal Armour, compared to the Cruiser which had only 8mm. And the small British guns were incapable of penetrating our Armour. But our 3,7cm ÚV vz. 38 guns easily punctured their armour.
