The Worlds Shadow (IC Thread)

[Persia-Kebabistan]

After news reached China that the Shah has fled to America, Yuan is saddened that he has lost an ally. But never the less, the plan to restore China must proceed.

---

The rebels hide in the mountains of Shanxi, and it is estimated it would take months to completely wipe them out.

---

The forts along the Korean border is complete, and China now demands Japan to release Korea from their hold.

The Persian ambassador to China, Abbas Shirazi, arrives in Beijing via airplane and asks to see Emperor Yuan Shikai and the Chinese government.

You see, right before Persia collapsed, the Shah sent Shirazi to China to be the Persian ambassador. However, since Persia collapsed and Italy took over, it means he can not enter Persia and is stuck in China. Though he is homesick, he is happy that he is stuck in a country which he regards as one of Earth's greatest civilizations (it has to do with the fact that he is descended from Muslim Chinese who moved to Persia and adopted Persian culture).

OOC: I will not RP as a country due to time constraints, but I will occasionally play as individual people (so far, Shah Kourosh Kebabi and Ambassador Abbas Shirazi).

Though it is unfortunate Jin Feng Quan wasn't able to go to Persia, Abbas Shirazi was greatly welcomed by everyone when he arrives in Beijing. He was given a room to stay, and afterwards he was told the Emperor requests to see him once he's finished resting.

---

Japan refuses to free Korea, and thus China had a CB to declare war. How ever, they did not use it yet, but instead continues building up. The Chinese air force is now 200 strong, with modern fighters and some tactical bombers. The Imperial Navy has around 10 ships in total.

Shirazi is grateful for their hospitality and feels at home in China. He rests for a few hours and then says he is ready to meet the Emperor. He also says that he would like to meet Jin Feng Quan as well, if there is time.

However, he does not know where the Shah is. In fact, nobody, except for the Shah himself and the Americans transporting him, knows his wherabouts.

[Persia-Kebabistan]

The former Emir of Hejaz, Hamza al-Rashid, goes to the nearest Italian office in Mecca. He says that Mecca and Medina are the two holiest sites in Islam and as Emir of Hejaz, it is his duty to protect them. He wants the two cities to be under Muslim control rather than Christian control, so he asks Italy to give Hejaz autonomy. Basically, Italy will control its foreign policy and can collect taxes and soldiers from Hejaz, but the Hejazis have control over their own domestic affairs.

He adds that even though Jerusalem is not in the Hejaz, Jerusalem is the third-holiest site in Islam and he wants to protect that, too. He wants the following areas to be autonomous and under his control:

• All of Yemen.
• Najran, Jizan, Asir, Bahah, Makkah, Madinah, and Tabuk regions of Saudi Arabia.
• All of Jordan.
• The Southern part of Israel between Eilat and Jerusalem.

He says that he will only control the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem since it is holy to Christians as well. He clarifies that even though the Emirate of Hejaz will be an Islamic state under his control, they will still be loyal to Italy. They will support Italian war efforts and pay taxes to Italy.

He clarifies that he is in no way connected to the former Shah (it is true that he is not connected with the Shah). He just wants an autonomous Muslim state in the area since the area is important to Muslims.

[Persia-Kebabistan]

Hamza also asks to be titled as the Khalifah of Dar al-Islam, but says that he will not take any military actions against anyone without Italian permission. He says that if he becomes the Khalifah, the entire Muslim world will be loyal to him, and since he will be loyal to Italy, it means that Italy will have the support of the entire Muslim world.

[Suryak]

The Italians, have other ideas so to say the least. The Emir was part of the Italians enemy, and that means they cannot trust him. The Italians anyway have ideas for the majority of the Muslims in the region. The Emir is given control of Aden for a "trial" to see how good the former Emir really is. Meanwhile, The Italians finish counqeuring Iberia. Arab troops begin invading Algeria and Tunisia while troops in Iberia invade Morroco.

OOC: When I am done expanding, I will declare the Holy Latin Empire and the Latin Caliphate. Victor Emanuel will have two names: One Muslim, one Christian.


The Italians, without conquering North Africa, have the three holiest cities in Islam and the 2 holiest cities in Christianity and the holiest city in Judaism. Basically, the control the Judaic religons, making then a powerful nations. Plenty of fresh recruits join the Latin Army.

Emir Hamza thanks the Italians for considering his requests. He arrives to Aden and starts a large propaganda campaign to get people onto the side of the Italians.

SPOILER ALERT: Emir Hamza is going to stay loyal to Italy.

However, he does not know where the Shah is. In fact, nobody, except for the Shah himself and the Americans transporting him, knows his wherabouts.

Shirazi was taken to the Emperor's throne room, and was offered to sit. The first thing Shikai said to him was;

"It's good you managed to arrive here safely. I understand it must be tragic to learn that your nation is gone. I hope your Shah is alright.
I just originally wanted you here to help improve relations between our two nations, but now it seems it has changed. I now wanted you here to let you know that we are willing to help take back your nation, and if you're able to tell us the ports we requested in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf are still ours. Also, your Shah can still keep the Persian ports in China, if he wishes. Also, I'll see if Feng Quan has time to see you later today, or tomorrow."

China is now half industrialized. The naval forts along the coast are completed.

Yuan Shikai sends messages to America, Canada and Italy and others, hoping for a treaty.

The Empire of China is interested in doing business with you. We would like to have either a non-aggression pact or military alliance between our two nations. I understand you may see it as worthless, but later on you may find it useful.

Further more, we would like to supply your nation with tungsten in return for military guidance and technology.
Please respond as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
The Heavenly Master, Emperor Yuan Shikai of China

[Suryak]

To Emperor Yuan Shikai of Chian,
We now very well of your trade deals with the Persians thanks to captured ports. We also know that you may be willing to revive the Persian so called "Caliphate".
However, we do recognize your militarstic agriculture power much more than the Persians do. We are willing to give you free access to the Suez Canal, Gibraltar and Aden if you allow us a discount on business in your nations. As for industry, we may help you industrialize. If you agree to a pact, we will also train your men. I look forward to the day where Italy and China work together.
Sincerely,
Emperor Victor Emanuel VIII of Italy

Greetings Emperor Victor Emanuel VIII of Italy,
Though we may had treaties with your enemies, the Persians, we remained neutral in your conflicts. Currently, China has no interest in Europe or the West, as we need to finish our business in Asia first.

I understand you control Gibraltar and a few other important ports, but those are a little to far for us to fully benefit from them. The Suez Canal may be the most useful for us, but we would like to discount only on tungsten and nothing else, at the moment.

We are willing to agree to an non-aggression or military pact with your empire, and would greatly appreciate your officers training our troops, and your help in our industry.

Sincerely,
Emperor Yuan Shikai of China

[Suryak]

To Yuan Shikai of China,
We are grateful for the discount on tungsten. However, we are more interested in agriculture-based resources mainly due to the fact that our industrialization make most minerals abundant in our country.

If you accept the agriculture discount, we will institute a "Pact of Steel" between our nations. The Suez discounts shall be applied and officers shall arrive. We also will begin helping you industrialize.

Sincerley,
Emperor Victor Emanuel VIII of Italy

Communist rebels are launching raids and guerrilla attacks on the Imperial army.

---

Shikai orders units to garrison the coast and the Korean border. China sends ultimatum to Russia, demanding Tanna Tuva and Khabarovsk.

[Suryak]

The Italian Promise begins to take action.

In Shanghai, a boom in Pizza Parlors and Italian "business" means that the most spoken language there is now Italian.

[Great Celestial China]

China welcomes the Italians in Shanghai, but tells them they can't go anywhere else unless they become Chinese citizens, to make sure none of the cities becomes colonies.

OOC: I just realized where Aden is. I need that port as well, please.

"Emperor Shikai, I thank you for considering liberation of Persia, for indeed I miss it. But China is a great place as well. After we liberate Persia, I hope to be the Ambassador to China. Regarding the ports, we will give them to you as soon as Persia is liberated because we made a promise to trade ports, and we want to keep our promises. Hopefully, Persia and China will have great and strong relations after the liberation. What shall be our plan of action?"

"We have been thinking, that-" before Shikai can finish, his adviser came in.

"My Lord! The Italians have responded!" he said, quickly kneeling.

"Well, what did they say?"

"They agreed to the offer, and suggested a 'Pact of Steel'."

Shikai turned to look at Shirazi. "Well, it looks like our plans must wait. We've reached a agreement with the Italians, and we must not break them." He then sighed. "But, do not worry" he continued, "we have other things to discuss. Although that must wait. I have other important matters to deal with now."

Shikai stood up, and headed to the door. He then stopped, and turned around, "oh, nearly forgot. Feng Quan will be waiting for you in the gardens." He then walked out the door to his meeting room.

[South Acren]

While being transported, the Shah thanks the President for granting him asylum. He asks how things are going in America and where they are taking him.

Eisenhlwer sighs. "Things are ok. As for where we are going, we are headed to a military black site where you will be keep safe until further notice.

The People's Royal Empire

The Enabling Act 1933 was passed, The Night of Many Broken Glasses happened, The People's Emperor Marian looked worried he was not sure what to do, Chancellor Cravane had just seized power the Reichstag abolished also, The Wehrmacht told him that they would protect him and they would stand by his regime, Therefore the Emperor knew that he still had the Heer the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine to control, All around the world he saw conflicts happening, First the Empire of Italy declared that they would all of Balkan Emperor Marian knew that that would only mean one thing He must guard the southern border of Konigreich Bavaria, although as The People's Emperor he was also the President-King of Prussia Bavaria was still after all a part of his Empire, And Bavaria's southern borders were vulnerable to possible Italian expansion in future, This did not mean however that the Emperor believed that the Empire of Italy wanted to attack the Royal Empire, But still he thought that it would be safe to play it safe, Therefore he told the Heer to shift four army corps down just after Nuremberg, For that reason they would not be too close to the borders just in case of a surprise attack by the large armed forces of the powerful Italian Empire

[Suryak]

Rome, Italian Empire

Sir, the Royal Empire has moved troops to the north.

So? They are weak.

We must keep their power in checck.

Move 10 motorised infantry to the north. Just show them we need business.

Yes sir

A few hour of discussing later

This is odd. The Persians are more useful to the Chinese than us. After a liberation of course.

Yes. But since we are training their army, we will know their strengths and weaknesses. We have not taught them ours. Their industry is dependent on us too.

I still want as much information on it has possible without 'espionage'.

Yes sir!

Too lazy for quotes

General Erich von Lundendorff was the chief officer in charge of the Army Group South which consists of 2. Armee 4. Armee und 11. Armee, He received a telegram from 2. Armee HQ this morning that his scouts could see what looked like a contingent of Italian army formations to the south of Munich, von Lundendorff could not believe what he was hearing, Why so aggressive! Soon thereafter he decided it's better to make peace for now whilst our Ducats income was still comparatively lower to the Empire of Italy, He decided to send the following telegram to the regional commander of the Northern Italy garisson (OOC: he did not know that it was more than a garisson it was in fact a whole army worth of reinforcement but of course I want to make it so he don't know otherwise it;s unfair and godmodding haha)

The People's Royal Empire

From: General Erich von Lundendorff Army Operational Commander of Army Group South
To: Commander of North Italy Garisson

Guten tag!

Genug ist genug! We are here for peace good Sir, We mean no harm, I would like to invite you to come and have a wee chat with me in my HQ, We can have a good cuppa together and discuss why it would be in the best interest of both the Great Empire of Italy and the People's Empire to sign a non-aggression pact to prepare for our Barbarossa present for your nation come 1941.

Please do come here good Sir and have a good cuppa and biscuit with sweet tea with me, I am a wee bit concerned that we will ruin this possible great relationship we can have, I look forward to hearing back from you

Signed

Shirazi is disappointed, for China is gaining strong relations with the Italians. He realizes that China might not liberate Persia, because it is hard to take an ambassador seriously when they represent a nonexistent country.

He enters the gardens to meet Feng Quan.

[Persia-Kebabistan]

Daryoush Kebabi, the only son of Kourosh Kebabi, escapes from Persia. He tried to become ruler of Persia since Kourosh was gone, but resistance from the Italians was too much.

He moves to India and convinces the Indians to make him the Emperor of India. After that, he annexes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Burma, Oman, and the U.A.E. He declares the Empire of India and declares the Empire of India to be the continuation of Persia-Kebabistan. He makes Delhi the capital.

He encourages Persians to move to India since it is securely under his control. However, an influx of Persians into India would cause many problems, so he only allows them to move to Indian Afghanistan, which already has Persians and other Iranic peoples, like Pathans and Hazaras.

After his proclamation, half of the people of Persia flee to India, because they want to be ruled by a Persian, not an Italian.

Daryoush declares that if Kourosh is still alive, he will make Kourosh the Emperor. After consolidating his empire, he sends telegrams to America and China, asking to be recognized as the continuation of Persia-Kebabistan. He says he will honor the deals they made about the ports.

It will be challenging to administer India because it is very diverse. The first thing he deals with is the clash between Hinduism and Islam. He tells the Hindus that India will be secular, so they will be free to practice their religions. He tells the Muslims that they will not be oppressed by Hindu majority because their leader is Muslim.

He now has a unique set of advantages. He rules one of the richest areas on the planet and is at a good location. Since most inhabitants are Hindus, Italy, despite having influence over the Abrahamic religions, can not influence India.

OOC: Suryak, invading Oman and U.A.E. does not count as invading you because you do not hold those areas yet. Also, please don't invade me, because I have already given you all my former land.
