Cold War RP: Reboot IC, (OPEN)

Palacio Vermelho, São Paulo

Diógenes was following closely the international news. Pirates in the Caribbean and terrorists in the Middle East. As an atheist state, Diógenes discarded the possibility of any threat coming towards the UBSS. However, the Canadians seemed to be having trouble with the Vaas Pirates. It was also closer to home, with the Caribbean being the passage way between trade with Mexico.

After evaluating the situation, Câmara opted to send aid against Vaas. He called in his telegram operator and had him transmit a message to the Canadian Prime Minister. It read

Dear Macdonald
We understand that you are having issues with the organized pirate group Vaas which are acting in the Caribbean
The UBSS will be more than willing to supply you with surplus equipment and ammo, as well as raw materials and food
We hope you are able to defeat this opponent so we can take one step further in completing the world revolution
Sincerely General Governor Diógenes Câmara

btw the telegram has no punctuation on purpose. Cuz it’s a telegram

Casablanca, French Department of Morocco
8:00

The government had just settled into their hotel along with their leader, Jack MacDonald Jr. when he got a telegram at his desk. He rushed over from unpacking his boxes to the telegram machine and read the message.

"Huh. Matilda, come over here!" he yelled. Matilda came over with his suit on and read the telegram.

"Well, the UBSS doesn't know how much naval power we have, that's for certain," Matilda snarked.

"...but our crews could use for some extra food. I'll send them a telegram telling them what we want, sir," he continued. MacDonald nodded and lead Matilda out of his room. Matilda went straight to work a wrote the message.

To: Brazilian Minister of Trade
Thank you for the offer, but we don't need any weapons or ammo. However, for our sea crews, we will gladly take the food. Thank you for the offer, and in response for it, I would like to allow you to have safe access to the Pacific for 30 years if you ever find yourself going there.

Casablanca, French Department of Morocco

Comming towards the hotel was a motorcade of Citroen 15/6s and Mercedes-Benz W150 770s prowled along the roads of Casablanca. In the motorcade rode the French President. Vincent Auriol straightened his hair and made sure everything was in order as the cars came to a halt infront of the hotel. The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened and out stepped the president, who tooka moment to shake his jacket off before proceeding inside to greet his Canadian counterpart.

As Vincent Auriol entered the building, he was given a glass of cold water which he promptly downed because of the dry Casablanca air. Then, he continued to walk towards the designated meeting spot. This was to be a monumental moment, and for ocne Auriol was glad the cameras and the press where not there to cover it. Sometimes peace and quiet is the best option for a monumental moment.

Câmara received word from the telegram as he was finishing his breakfast. As he took a sip from his coffee, his telegram operator knocked on the door

“Come in” he said as he lowered his cup

“The Canadians replied to us General Governor” the operator addressed, saluting Diógenes “They do not require ballistic materials, but did request food

“Very well. I’ll prepare a *‘Food Kit’ for their soldiers. Each kit shall contain half a loaf of bread, 3 brigadeiros and a packet of instant coffee. I assume they have canteens, water and a way to make fire yes?”

“Understood. I’ll pass the message. Enjoy your meal”

He then started translating the reply into Morse

To: Canadian Prime Minister
Dear MacArthur
I’m glad you have accepted our proposal
We will be sending Food Kits to your soldiers by the next two weeks or so
Each will contain
half a loaf of bread
Three Brigadeiro sweets
One packet of instant coffee
The first cargo ship loaded with them is expected to leave two weeks from now at maximum
We will send them in convoys but we do not possess a strong navy so any help is thanked
Thank you

*In the actual language, Portuguese, they’d be called “Kit Refeição”. I’ll probably adopt them as the MRE for my military as time goes on

Kuala Lumpur, Peninsular Malaysia, Nusantara
Ahmad Sanar sat at the wooden table inside the dark mosque, only barely lit in the night by a few kerosene lamps. With a pen in hand, he wrote the letter as his hands shook, his breath quickening with every movement.

"Mohammed, is there anyone outside there?"

Mohammed held his rifle tightly, looking outside the windows of the mosque.

"No, brother. Nothing outside."

"Masha'allah. Sukarno has announced possible mass raids on the soldiers of Allah. They deem us to be evil, my friend. But how can Allah's soldiers be evil? As long as the Rashids are with us, the infidels in power cannot prevail. I'm finished with the letter, please send this out immediately."

"Of course, Allahu Akbar"

"Allahu Akbar."

Mohammed swiped the letter off the table and dropped his rifle onto the carpet as he rushed towards the door.

To: The Rashid Caliphate
From: The Nusantaran Soldiers of Allah

We thank you for helping us in these troubled times, and will gladly accept your weapons and ammunition. Nusantara will no longer be ruled by socialists or European ideology. May Allah be with us, and may we be allies once Allah has allowed Nusantara to see his glory.

Insha'Allah

Independence Square, Kuala Lumpur, Nusantara
The soldier brought down the edge of his rifle on Iman Nasir's head, among the cheering crowd of the square. The old man whimpered as he whispered the Islamic rites before death. His body was covered in cuts and bruises as he held a sign up reading FUNDAMENTALIST TRAITOR

The crowd was filled with the supporters of the secularist government, cheering and lifting their hands up in celebration.

Under his breath, Iman Nasir whispered the Shahadah, the Islamic declaration of faith.

" laʾilaha ʾilla -lla... muhammadun rasulu -llah "

The soldier hit struck his back with the end of his rifle, causing him to fall onto his knees.

"Sing Nusantara Raya. So the crowd can hear that you've surrendered to us, and you might be spared from this punishment" The soldier whispered in his ear, slightly snickering.

Iman Nasir nodded his head. If there was one way he could be rescued from death, he would take it. He was naïve, he didn't want to be a martyr. He wanted to be a leader.

"Nusantara, my homeland. I will shed my blood for thee. On guard for you I stand, to guard my motherlan-"

Iman Nasir's last hopes were crushed immediately. The defeaning crack of a gunshot rang throughout the whole square. The crowd cheered to what they thought was a victory for the people.

But in the days to come, those cheers could turn into cries for help.

Republic of Turkey

25th March 1949,
General Elections.
On the date of 25th March 1949, the Republic of Turkey held its second general elections since the birth of the great republic in its way to become a true democratic socialist nation. After riddled with looming threat at the start of the year with possible conflicts and the war on terrorism on Turkish soil, the people will choose their new leading party between the current leftist Republican People's Party (CHP) and its rival the Democratic Party (DP).

In a somewhat predicted victory, the CHP maintained its rule with 350 seats out of 487 seats. This is due to how the CHP managed to keep their people in check despite of terrorist threats through public safety management; boosting morale and economic incentives to help its people. Several social policy were changed in order to give its people more freedom and thus sway the public opinion in CHP's way.

Current Situation
With the Iran giving their support by allowing military access, Turkey took a step further and requested the construction of temporary airstrips on flat lands near the city of Ahvaz (near border with North Arabia and north of Persian Gulf) approximately 20 miles off any nearby cities and dense populated areas. The construction equipment, labors and costs will be handled by Turkey by purchasing needed materials from Iran.

Foreign Letter Dispatch,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Several representatives of the ministry are assembled to send a request letter to North Arabia. They contacted the North Arabian government through its ministry/department of foreign affairs and proceeded to take a flight to its capital with the letter. They met and gave the letter to the North Arabian ministry.

Dear friend,
The Republic of Turkey wishes to sincerely request military access for Turkish troops and ground/air assets to cross borders from Iran into Rashid Caliphate through your territories north of Persian Gulf, specifically near the city of Basra and Al-Jahra. We are not yet at war with them but with your help of allowing us access, we can bring the fight to them and put an end to their terrorist ways of disturbing peace in the region and throughout the world.

In this agreement, we would also like to put forward that we will promise not to open fire while within your territories to protect your civilians, as well as we will not make camp for more than 2 days in the same area while inside your territories and will continue to push forward right into North Arabia with a short resupply window to refuel our ground assets. It is worth noting that the Rashids also had conducted and helped terrorists in your nation through our intel of previous encounters with them. Therefore we humbly request your help in our struggle to find peace for the fallen lives of our innocent people.

Dear comrade,
The Republic of Turkey wishes to convey its utmost gratitude for your offer and will accept it.

Biggest Bombing in Turkey's History

5th April 1949,
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul.

It was a normal evening in the Grand Bazaar for its merchants and visitors. Families of broad generations from old to young flock the long hallway with shops seemingly endlessly run on each side of the bazaar. Who would've thought that it would be the darkest taint in the history of Turkey.

10 unknown men with bombs strapped under their full overall concealing it went into the bazaar. They took point in a uniform distance with each other along the hallway. They stood in the big endless crowd and waited for the clock to strike 5 p.m. after they had done Asar prayers. As soon as the time comes, the whole of Bazaar suddenly fell quiet as all the 10 men seemingly in synchronization shouted, "Bismillahirahmanirrahim! (In the name of Allah!), ALLAH AKBAR!! (God is Greatest)".

10 big explosions, echoed throughout the bazaar as hundreds if not almost a thousand people horribly dies, instantly. Almost all shops are either destroyed or heavily damaged except for those who are out of the blast zone, as well as the infrastructure of the hall of the Grand Bazaar is in grave danger as it could collapse any moment in certain places. The next day, there was no way to determine the exact number of people who died as most of them died without any possible way of identification. The injured took a total of 100 people, ranging from shrapnel injury, limb decapitation and debris inflicted injury. An estimated number of 400 civilians lost their lives on that day...

Jaye was in his room talking with Taylor when Matilda cam rushing in, as usual, but with nothing in his hands. Instead, as Taylor was about to yell at him, Matilda went past the desk and went to the radio, and turned the nob to the News Station. Taylor was about to straight up strangle him when he heard the news.

"My god..." he whispered hearing the casualties of the attack. Matilda turned around with a worried expression on his face and started talking.

"And that's not all. Tunisia also had an attack and murders in Nusantara have led to Islamist Rebels. The ones that-". His sentence was finished by Jaye.

"-our Korean Embassy intercepted a message to."

"And who sent that message?"

Taylor and Jaye looked at each other and said it at the same time.

"The Rashids," they replied gravely.

"They are attacking everyone! We could be next! We have to make sure no one gets in or out of that nation to make sure no one else gets hurt! If not, we could be next! There is already a high amount of Muslims in Quebec of all places!" Matilda screamed.

"Calm down," Jaye said.

"I'll right some telegrams, okay? Don't worry, it will be okay," Jaye finished. Matilda sighed and nodded, and walked out, with Taylor following behind. As the radio kept reporting the disaster, Jaye wrote some telegrams.

To: French Minister of Foreign Affairs
The attacks in Tunisia have been traced back to the Rashids. As terrorists, they should be blocked from the outside world to avoid any more danger. Please help us with your navy in the blockade of this terrorist stronghold to stop any more innocents to die.

To: Rashid Minister of Foreign Affairs
We know that you have been fueling the terrorist attacks on France, Turkey, Nunantara, and North Arabia. Cease your attacks and we might lift the blockade on your nation. Do not open fire or we will respond with our full might. I strongly advise to surrender your leaders to our forces to maybe lift the blockade.

"My god!" President Auriol gasped.

"Sir, the military advises to take you and the Canadians to Paris. It's too dangerous here." An aide told the president.

"Call Queuille immediately!" The president ordered.

"And sir, about the Canadians?" Another aide inquired.

"Bring them to the airport!" Auriol snapped.

"The commander for North Africa is on the line mister president!" A telephone receptionist said as the whole room broke down into chaos.

"Give me that!" Auriol shouted as he answered the phone. "Hello?! Hello?!"

"Mr. President, in light of the attack, it's been decided that Morocco is no longer safe." The commander explained.

"I want all suspects rounded up! Do you hear that?!" The president scheeched as the Canadian delegation came out and saw utter chaos in the lobby.

"Sir, the Canadians..." An aide began to say.

"I'm busy! Don't you see that?!" Auriol yelled violently.

"The president is a bit stressed out. But the situation demands your transfer to Paris immediately. Please follow me." The aide said to an confussed Canadian delegation.

The Canadian delegate, who was Matilda, nodded and told the rest of the government about the transfer. They packed their most important stuff and left the building. They half expected to be shot and killed when they got into a car to drive to the airstrip. In the car, Matilda received a telegram from Ontario. He had a grave expression on his face as he read it. Then, he finished, he looked up.

"The Korean Embassy was just attacked by suicide bombers. They blew a hole in the wall and left 3 guards dead, 2 injured. And Morocco is now in lockdown," he said. All of them shook their heads and hoped nothing else bad would happen.

Manila
Philippines

The streets of the Filipino capital were flooded with many protestors on this day. Of course, the reason for the protests were being made quite clear by the activist's signs, pleas, and shouts that rang through the air in front of the government's legislature. They wanted peace. They wanted the American's out of the country after they're response to the sinking of a Korean ship included increasing their military presence in the Philippine Sea and increasing the number of American troops in the region dramatically.

Some time prior to this protest, Chung Si-kun had arrived in Manila to carry out his mission. Handpicked by the Dear Leader himself, Chung had a great expertise in regards to these kinds of missions and such had been a top agent for the Korean government for quite some time now. Shortly after his arrival to Manila, he got straight to work.

He found himself in a local bar where a number of the protestors had met to just relieve themselves, which is where Chung would meet Daniel Bautista. A handsome, youthful, charismatic man, he had all the characteristics of being a strong leader and voice for the movement. So, he decided Daniel would be just that. After introducing himself, Chung gave Daniel an offer he couldn't resist: a chance to better his country and use his voice to do so.

Which brings us back to today, where Daniel had organized the protest himself for the day. After allowing the initial shouting and pleading to subside, he took to the front of the crowd where he began to speak confidently.

"My brothers! My sisters!" He bellowed. "We are not a nation of savages that seek war! We are a nation of peace, of love, of unity! We are not a nation who should have their military ready at the smallest of occurrences. Our first option should be peace! Not war! But how can we make sure our nation is spreading this message abroad when innocent lives are lost, and our government's reaction is to mobilize the army! How can we spread a message of peace, when we have FOREIGN soldiers on OUR country's land! Americans have NO right to what is OURS! We shouldn't let them be here! They shouldn't be in this region! We are ASIAN, not AMERICAN!"

The crowd erupted in support as Daniel paused. "We are not a nation of war, we are not a nation that shall be divided over senselessness. We are the people of this great country! We demand to be heard! We are the people! We are the Philippines! WE SHALL UNITE!"

Meeting w/ Soviet Union

"You may call me Kim, General. It is truly an honor to meet with you as a representation of both of our great nations" The ambassador replied with a smile, which quickly faded to a serious face as he gestured for the two to sit.

"Now, the Dear Leader and Korea as a whole are not the type to waste time so I will do my best to represent both ideally in this meeting." He started. "With that said, I'm sure you've heard of the IRA's attempts to destabilize the Southeast Asian region?"

To: Whom it may concern, Pirate State of Vaas
From: Office of Kim Il-sung, Greater Korean Republic
Encryption: HIGH

Greetings from afar, comrade! It is with great pleasure that I establish a dialogue between our two states. As a leader of a misconstrued and often disrespected Republic I send my regards to yours in our everlasting struggle to assert ourselves.

Asserting ourselves is why I am sending this message however, as it deals with just that. I have heard recent news of Vaas pirates attacking America trade routes and believe this is the perfect way of doing so. I would like to offer the Vaas state access to the Greater Korean Republic rich, rare minerals in exchange for a continued assault on American trade. The Greater Korean Republic, with it's great economic power, can offer economic aide in exchange for a naval port and military base within the state of Vaas as well.

To: Whom it may concern, the Philippine Republic
From: Office of Kim Il-sung, Greater Korean Republic

I wish I was addressing your great nation on much happier terms, however, I would like to make it clear that this is the most serious of issues. I am sure you have heard about the recent news of our investigation finding an American vessel was responsible for sinking the Korean ship in your territorial waters. I have included documents of evidence with this letter to further prove that an American vessel was responsible, it is not known whether the vessel was rogue or apart of a patrol.

However, it is known that the Americans are a threat. Not only to peace between our nations, but the region and world at large. Look at how much military they've deployed over the last month. If you allow them to keep up with this then this is no better than allowing Hitler to take over Poland in 1939. We beg the Philippine Republic to listen to it's people and banish the American's from Filipino territory and help join the battle in fighting the West from taking over the world.

To: Whom it may concern, United Brazilian Socialist States
From: Office of Kim Il-sung, Greater Korean Republic

In these trying times, I find it important for nations with such similar ideals and even more similar enemies have close, bilateral relations. With capitalist tyrants breathing down both of our necks, though be it in much different ways, I wish to offer Korea's support and recognition of the Socialist Canadian Republic. Properly, I would like to offer a trade agreement, exchange of embassies, and greater military cooperation between our two states.

10th February, 1949
Zhonghannai, Beijing, People's Republic of China

Chairman Mao Zedong sat in his office, skimming through stacks upon stacks of reports. None stood out to him, not even the extremist activities the Rashids participating in. One report however, did catch his eye- the increase presence of the American navy in the Strait of Taiwan. "The pigs think we need a useless island," Mao muttered to himself. They think that Taiwan is an important player on the world stage. An idiotic idea. Mao however, did not want the looming threat of the mainland by Taiwan with American assistance, so he sent a telegram to tell the capitalists to back off.

Mao was impressed by the willingness of Japanese to apologize to the Chinese. He ought to send a delegate over to accept the apology.

Mao and Zhou Enlai travel to Moscow.

TO: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Imperial Republic of America
FROM: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China
We believe the excessive amount of American ships present in the Taiwan strait is unnecessary. The People's Republic has no intentions of invading Taiwan in the foreseeable future. As such, the presence of so many foreign ships near our core territory is seen as a threat. We kindly ask you to remove your navy near our coasts.

TO: Office of Kim Il-sung
FROM: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China
We would be more than happy to accept the formal apology from the Japanese. Unfortunately, our head of state as well as our prremier and our foreign minister (who happens to be the premier) are preoccupied with affairs in the Soviet Union. Due to these complications, vice premier Dong Biwu was chosen to represent our nation. Journalists will be travelling with him to help sway the public opinions on the Koreans and Japanese back home. We hope you receive these people well.

TO: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR
FROM: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China
Chairman Mao Zedong and premier Zhou Enlai are on their way to Moscow to discuss the possibility of a treaty with you. We are looking forward to establishing a long lasting friendship with the Soiet Union.

[American Pere Housh]

Prime Minister Winston Churchill is sitting at his office at 10 Downing Street in London going over reports from all the British Empire and the world. He looks over a report from America about American trade routes being attacked by a pirate state called Vaas which occupies illegally a few British territories. The Americans helped them during the Second World War and now its time to return the favor. According to British Intelligence, those damn Soviets are planning something but he doesn't know. He sends out orders to the Royal Navy High Command to assist the Americans and eliminate all Vaas pirate ships and bases. Although the British Military has downsized, it is still 2 times its prewar size. Winston also that a Korea ship was sunk by an American warship which he has know problem with.


Official Statement of the British Empire

To allies and enemies alike, let this be known the the British Empire will not tolerate any attacks on our the Imperial or any British ally. We call on the illegal occupiers of British known as Vaas to halt all attacks on American trade routes or the Royal Navy will step in eliminate with extreme prejudice all pirate vessels. The United Kingdom by order of Prime Minister Churchill declares a Maritime Exclusion Zone of all waters around Vaas. The British Pacific Fleet based out of Hong Kong will be increasing its presence in the South China Sea and the West Pacific in concert with the IR Navy to deal with Korean aggression in the region. We call on the Philippines government to stay allies with the Imperial Republic and ignore any calls from communist nations.

Grand Bazaar Bombing
In an unexpected move two days after the incident, a radio channel company was visited by 4 suspicious individuals. They demand that they are to be given an broadcast slot in the local radio channel broadcast since they have information regarding the recent bombing or bad things will occur. The counter clerk was prepared to call the police but the individuals noticing it quickly aims a pistol on her head. The clerk called the manager over. Threatening continues before the manager succumbs to it and they were given a slot 30 minutes later.

"Assalam 'alaykum my brothers and sisters. We are from The Islamic Brotherhood of Turkey. We urge all Muslims to rise against the socialist government of ours that dare to soil Islam! It is our great religion that they are putting down by embracing secularism. As a concrete proof to our commitment to the cause, the Islamic Brotherhood of Turkey (IBT) takes responsibility for the bombing on Grand Bazaar. This is us sending a message to you all. For the word of Allah's promise to help us against those of the infidels and those who help them, let us all rise brothers!"

Shortly after that police came rushing to the company, specifically the Police Special Action task force. The manager had called the police once one of the individuals were in the broadcast room unsuspecting of the move by the manager while the other 3 operatives made sure that the other employees were kept in check. It wasn't long before the situation was defused and all terrorists were dead, shot to the torso and head. However, one of the employee of the radio channel station was killed by the terrorist as she was made a hostage.

--------------------------------------------------------

Official Statement,
Ministry of Public Affairs.

Two days later, the government released its official statement regarding the incident.

Greetings everyone,
It is our regret to inform that another one of our brave Turkish citizens have fallen to acts of terrorism while being held hostage. She was an office worker in a radio station's office. The Islamic Brotherhood of Turkey (IBT) has claimed responsibility for the act of terror in the Grand Bazaar bombing as well as this attempt at making their doings, public. We strongly condemn the IBT and the government will wage war on this organization and any of those who support extremist acts be it for whatever motives. The people of Turkey knows better to not take part in such backwards ways of expressing opinions, not to mention endangering the lives of the public.

A recent cabinet meeting that was held had also discussed that the source of this problem, the Rashids are to be dealt with as soon as possible. As soon as military access from North Arabia is granted, the invasion force will be put to motion immediately. A naval blockade on the Rashidi east coast ports was executed by the Navy, helping the Canadian naval fleet in doing so.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Letter Dispatch,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

We have mobilized a fleet of our navy to help the naval blockade on the Rashidi. Their acts of terrorism will not go unanswered. Our navy is now currently handling the ports of east coast of Rashidi territories.

From: Polaria Republic, to France

Please respect our historical relations as allies, as we've supported you against the unlawful and disrespectful, cowardly efforts of the Islamists in the Middle East. Don't take our silence as a sign that you're isolated, we still have your back.

"I really need to meet with the Chairman of the USSR, Turkey, Canada, and Mexico," Chancellor Alora told Elena.

"These Western Communist-Socialists are going too far, provoking the Americans, French, Germans and Confederates, like that. Yes, we're all Socialistic here, and all socialists should stand together, but as a neutral power, we have to stop this Cold War from getting hot." Alora Tristine said.

"But what about other telegrams? Isn't Turkey DemSoc now, like us?" Chairman Elena asked.

"The Turks aren't like us. They'll never be us. We're the bees' knees. Yes, we've both risen from failed empires, but they're Communists. They're just using DemSoc so they'll still be Socialistic and not gain the ire of the Soviets. Both 'imperialists' and fellow Socialists have to respect us, atleast France. I mean, we've been allied to them for awhile." Alora aired out to her friend, and head of the PPU (Polarian Progressive Union).

"But, Alora, what about Nusantra, North Arabia and the Rashid Caliphate?" Elena asked.

"We'll respond to these Muslims, these theocrats, these Islamists. Make it known that Polaria stands for all women, all girls, all females everywhere, and that Islam means "Submission." Women should never submit. We've fought hard for our equality. Our revolutionaries have fought hard, for many reasons." Alora said, kinda angry.

Alora continued to monologue,as recent politics greatly annoyed her.

"As long as Polaria is on Earth, we'll stand for the People. We'll stand for the Revolution. We'll stand for Voting, Elections, and Voters' Rights. I don't wish any ill will onto NATO or the Warsaw Pact, but I'm tired of fakes. I'm tired of fake, sham republics talking about Social Change and Prosperity, and it never gets enacted. Posterity. Solidarity. Spirit." Alora continued fuming, also quoting Polaria's motto backwards.

"Jesus Christ, Alora, you're going to tear a fuse. Here, lemme get you something to drink. To kinda, cool you down a bit..." Elena warned.

"I do agree with you here, there's no one levelheaded." Elena calmed.

Elena handed Alora something to drink. It was pristine water, probably American or British.

Alora sipped.

"Ah. That water's crisp. The reason we responded so late was, well, it's like news travels slowly here. And it's not like the Americans care about Polaria that much, though we've had relations with the Soviets for some time." Alora said.

In the next room, Elena's top advisor was typing a telegram to cede the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar to Polaria.

From Polaria Republic to the British Empire

Cede Gibraltar to its rightful owner, Polaria. We swear that we'll treat the peoples in Gibraltar right, and equally to any Polarian citizen.

She finished, and then walked into the room where Elena and Alora were.

"Isn't there a League of Nations? Or United Nations? We should totally join that." She smiled at the two.

"The Americans are gonna place bases on Polarian soil, and frankly, I'm okay with it. If that means we can protect Portugal, and if it means we're protected from Islamists and other theocrats, then it's fine." Alora said.

To: ALL NATIONS
From: Office of Kim Il-sung, Greater Korean Republic

It is with a great honor that I write this letter to inform you of a summit that will be held in April of this year in the city of Tokyo that will be used to broker a deeper understanding of where our various nations stand in regards to others, open dialogue with nations that we normally do not have such conversations with, and ideally lay the frame work for world peace that will last through the ages. I eagerly await your reply.

"That seems kinda hypocritical, doesn't it? Weren't they firing at ships in Southeast Asia, or something?" She asked.

"Yeah, it is, isn't it, Alora?" Elena asked.

Alora agreed to Valorie and Elena.

"Yes, it is, but we should probably respond though." Alora answered them.

"It'll be a late response though, don'tcha forget. News travels slowly here. So much for being the pinnacle of Progression, Equality and Justice." Valorie, the top advisor to Elena laughed.

"Hey, Valorie. Could you please type another telegram?" Alora asked.

"Okay. To who?" Valorie questioned.

"The Rashid Caliphate." Alora answered.

Valorie scurried back to the other room, and began working on it. Normal typewriters had loud clacking and clicking, but Polarian typewriters didn't. A neat invention, but it seemed like no one had cared about it, or the ex-empire. The telegram would say:

From Polaria to Rashid Caliphate

Your Jihadist ideology will never succeed! Girls deserve freedom, not subjugation! Polaria will never be Al-Andalus again! Cease your terroristic actions around the world, or else. The rose of Democratic Socialism will forever stand against the Crescent-and-Star of your murderous ideology!

It read like an ultimatum, but it was really a call-to-arms against Islam and Caliphates.

"I liked the other one, better, but we should've thrown in Malta." Valorie said.

"True, the British should give that island back to us, too." Alora responded.

"Now, now, let's not anger them. Give them some time to stew over everything, it's probably a tough time for them." Elana told them.

"Also, you shouldn't go to Soviet Russia or Canada, those places are frigid." Elana replied to the comment from earlier.

"Yeah, Polarian weather's better." Valorie agreed.

"I should go to Monaco, then. I really need to meet with the French. Let them truly know that we didn't vanish off the face of the Earth after fighting Nazism and Fascism." Alora said.

The three walked out of the room, Alora still holding the cup of cool water.

"I had other meetings and political issues within Polaria to work on, but tell the other advisors to handle it for me." Alora said, knowing that she could always trust in her cabinet.

[Monsone]

Elysee Palace, Paris

While chaos ensued in France in the aftermath of the attack of the Sfax Medina, the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman was busy answering letters. It was almost ironic how the Foreign Ministry rarely got flooded by crazed events like these, and even in the aftermath of the attacks, the ministry was suprisingly calm.

As Schuman took a seat to write some telegrams, an aide brought in a report and handed it to the Foreign Minister. He quickly glanced over it and sighed. A foreign intervention was inevitable at this point. The French public wanted blood.

To: The Polarian Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

The alliance will be respected, however as France is a member of NATO and an outwardly looking pro-Capitalist and Western nation, it is only natural that the French government seeks to spread it's ideals. If Polaria would chooses to drop the pro-Soviet stance, an acceptance into NATO is possible along with joining the Franco-Germanic Trade Bloc.

To: The UK Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

France owes the UK a massive debt for it's aid in WW2. From the failed Dieppe Raids to the liberation of Paris, and the final defeat of France, the UK has stood sibe by side with her every step of the way. As both of our nations are memeber states of NATO as well as pro-Western and Capitalist, it is with a great honor to invite the UK to the Franco-Germanic Trade Bloc which if the UK joins, will be renamed to a more suitable name.

To: The Turkish Nation
From: The People of France

Dear friends and comrades of Turkey, our recent days have been filled with much bloodshed and sorrow for our respective nations. It is in these hard times that we must set our difficlties aside and work together for the common good. As a threat of terror rises, we must rise to the occasion and take it down.

We must not let the sacrifices of our fallen friends, family, comrades, colleauges, and brothers be in vain. We must fight for the ideals we stand for to take down the monsters who have oh so bruttaly attacked our nations. Today is a day to mourn, but tommorrow is a day to fight and stand up for our ideals and end our common enemy.

Long live France, and long live Turkey!

[Tranzoria]

Paris, France
4:00

Everyone was settling into the new hotel and still taking deep breaths after what had happened in Morocco. Matilda on the other hand was tracking the Muslim population in Canada to make sure no attacks would happen. Then he received a few telegrams. He took a break from his charts and ran over to Jaye, who was listening to the radio to pass the time. Matilda sat by him on a chair.

"We have news. Turkey agreed to help with the blockade."

"Any word from the French or North Arabians?"

"No. But Britain finally stepped out of the shadows and doing regular British stuff."

"Send them a telegram. The Rashids have caused enough trouble," Jaye replied gravely.

"And the Polarians would like to talk."

"Why? They finally are here, but why do they want to talk?"

"They are slightly angry at us for provoking the French and Americans."

"We didn't provoke them. The spy did."

"Well they don't care. They want to meet with us."

"Uhhhh. When we finish this Treaty, I'll fly over to them and talk with them. Tell them that, okay?"

"Sure. Be back in a bit." Matilda walked out of them room as Jaye turned off the Radio. He lit the fire place and warmed his hands. There was a lot of trouble ahead of him.

To: Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs
Thank you for helping us take down this terror to the world. In thanks, we will give you one of our AV Missiles to use in case of emergency.
From: Liam Matilda of Canada

To: British Minister of Foreign Affairs
Good day. As you already know perhaps, Canada and Turkey are starting a blockade of the terrorist regime of the Rashid Caliphate. Because of your proximity and borders to the nation, we would like you ask if you could help the blockade both on sea and land with your navy and your army.
From: Liam Matilda of Canada

To: Polarian Minister of Foreign Relations
As your leader would like to, we are sending our Minister of Foreign Affairs Noah Jaye to talk with your leader in Monaco when we finish the peace talks with France.

[Tysoania]

Lubyanka Building, Moscow, Russian SFSR
USSR
March 1949

The chairman of the MGB could see the onion domes of the Kremlin from here. It was quite a nice view from his office in the top of the Lubyanka, although considerably less so for anyone in the basement of the building. After all, if you were in the basement of the headquarters of the MGB, you didn't have the time to reflect on the view from the building.

Lavrentiy Beria sighed and turned back to his desk. Reports from the moles in various governments around the world were filtering into his office constantly, but as the other powers of the world seemed to be tearing themselves apart, this was not of great importance. The issue of significance to the MGB, and to most of the Soviet government, was the ongoing standoff with the Americans in Mexico and Canada. The Mexican government had recently begun requesting Soviet aid, expecting a war to break out at any moment, and the Soviet Army and Ground Forces had been deployed to Mexico to support the ongoing struggle to preserve socialism in that nation. However, Beria knew that he could personally help the cause there through his MGB. The GRU, or Military Intelligence Directorate, had recently been brought under the purview of the Minister of Internal Affairs as a sibling agency to the MGB, and now Beria would put the GRU to use. He knew that Soviet Ground Forces troops were being flown into the new base at Viesca, Coahuila, so he could easily arrange for GRU and MGB personnel to be sent to the new base. From there, the agents would make their way north to the American border, where the GRU agents would set up forward signals intelligence stations while the MGB personnel would scout out and infiltrate any American expatriate communities near the border. That would allow the Soviet command in Viesca to have advance warning of an invasion by the imperialists.

As for the Canada problem, unfortunately, the Mexican solution wouldn't work. Beria feared that the Soviet airfield and the refueling station were already under surveillance by the Canadians or their American counterparts, who seemed to be friends with them all of a sudden. That idiot Molotov hadn't indicated any threats from them recently, which usually meant that it was too well-hidden to be picked up by sentries or ambassadors. Beria decided to go for a more subtle method of detection instead. He would arrange for a small team of 4 MGB agents to be flown into the airfield, where they would then infiltrate the nearby cities and become employed by Transport Canada. Although it wasn't a signals intelligence station, it was the best he could do without a large-scale infiltration program, now that all his resources were tied up with project KB-11.

In light of the continuing pressure from the Americans, we have decided to send further troops and ships to support the Workers Republic in its fight against capitalist imperialism. Additionally, we have sent covert signals intelligence teams into northern Mexico to watch for signs of an impending American invasion, although for reasons of military security, their locations cannot be divulged. Stay strong against the imperialists, and know that the people of the Soviet Union and the socialist world as a whole are behind you.

On behalf of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the workers of the world, I must ask you again to consider ending your agreement with the American imperialists, as this may put your honourable nation at risk of a coup or invasion for use as yet another imperialist puppet against the Socialist struggle. Also, I must request that Canada continue to honour its land-use agreement with the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Army may continue to have forward bulwarks against the American threat.

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 honourable Polaria Republic to discuss a possible trade agreement and political agreement.

Korea

The General frowned at the name of the IRA. "Yes, I have been keeping an eye on the activities of the imperialists' activities in Asia. They have been destabilizing many areas of the world that stand firmly with the workers of the world, and so it comes as no surprise that they have reached here as well. I take it that the Korean government is also worried about their activities in this region?"

Kubinka air base, Moscow

Vyacheslav Molotov drew his overcoat tightly around him as the brisk afternoon air picked up. Although Kubinka did have a control tower and several hangars he could wait in, Molotov preferred to meet the Chinese guests immediately upon arrival. A black Packard limousine waited patiently behind him, its driver quietly perusing the latest copy of Sovetsky Sport.

Tushino airfield, Moscow

A similar scene was playing out at Tushino airfield, where Joseph Stalin was waiting on the apron of the airfield for the arrival of the leader of the Workers Republic. However, instead of going to a separate site for high-level discussions, the General Secretary preferred to use the conference room at the airfield, as it was both luxurious and highly defended, having been used for ammunition storage during the Great Patriotic War. Instead of a driver, the General Secretary had two MGB men with him to wait for the arrival of the aircraft.

International Airport, Valois (Polaria)

"The Americans, and Roosevelt will be mad at me for doing this, but we need to counter radicalism with love. Teach the world the wonders of DemSoc and FemLib." Elana said.

"That's a good idea, however, France'll hate me for doing that." Alora responded.

"France would hate us, if we didn't take a stance against Islam. America would be mad at us if we didn't make them proud. They're the 'Land of the Free,' aren't they?" Elana told her.

"Revolutionaries need to react, take charge. The world should be angry, angry that the women of the world are silenced. An utopia. A vision. We are going to enlighten the world, all of it. That includes the Middle East." Elana continued.

"Please, don't." Alora warned.

"You're going to ruin our friendship if you start setting fires." Alora said, sternly.

"We're not like the Asian Communists. We're peaceful. Mao and his Little Red Book said that: 'Communism comes out of the barrel of a gun,' and, 'Communism isn't peaceful. Communism is the hammer that smashes the world.' " Alora corrected her.

"France and America were born from Revolution, Russia was born from-" Alora interrupted Elana.

"I don't wanna hear it. Now, get off the plane if all you're going to do is annoy me, Elana." Alora told her.

Elana frowned.

"I don't care about Zedong's sayings, or the Asian Communists." Alora angrily said.

The pilot prepared the plane.

Elana got out of it, before it fully started.

Some time later

"She's my friend, and everything, but she can be so annoying at times." Alora thought.

She didn't want Polaria's relations with France to destroy her friendship, but she didn't want the world to isolate them.

To: The Polarian Foreign Ministry
From: The French Foreign Ministry

The alliance will be respected, however as France is a member of NATO and an outwardly looking pro-Capitalist and Western nation, it is only natural that the French government seeks to spread it's ideals. If Polaria would chooses to drop the pro-Soviet stance, an acceptance into NATO is possible along with joining the Franco-Germanic Trade Bloc.

She still kinda-sorta understood why Elena felt the way she did, though.

"They want us to do like Turkey and Canada and abandon Moscow. Maybe she was right about the whole 'Rashid Caliphate' thing. Fight fire with fire." She thought.

"Maybe I was wrong to kick her off the plane." She continued.

Official Statement of the British Empire

To allies and enemies alike, let this be known the the British Empire will not tolerate any attacks on our the Imperial or any British ally. We call on the illegal occupiers of British known as Vaas to halt all attacks on American trade routes or the Royal Navy will step in eliminate with extreme prejudice all pirate vessels. The United Kingdom by order of Prime Minister Churchill declares a Maritime Exclusion Zone of all waters around Vaas. The British Pacific Fleet based out of Hong Kong will be increasing its presence in the South China Sea and the West Pacific in concert with the IR Navy to deal with Korean aggression in the region. We call on the Philippines government to stay allies with the Imperial Republic and ignore any calls from communist nations.

"The British. Being reactionary, as always. I'm not gonna do anything. If the Polarian Navy started circling their isle, their beloved Prime Minister would get up in a tizzy over it. I think they already put pressure on the Caliphate, adding my navy to the encirclement or embargo wouldn't do what's already being done." She thought-out-loud.

"The Portuguese Empire should stand up, stand for Macau, though. I'm not going to do anything, though, they're a British ally." She continued.

"I should really be putting pressure on Korea for what they tried to do to the Philippines. I see them, trying to weasel out of it by saying something like: 'Every diplomat and ambassador and leader should visit Tokyo,' and blah-blah-blah." She focused.

She took out the 'little red phone' she had, in the plane, and called up Roosevelt.

"What are you doing? Are you that clueless? You're letting the Canadians play you like a fiddle." She said, quickly.

She'd hang-up on them, then called the leader of Canada.

"Stop this madness. You're letting this situation get out of hand. You really wanna cause another conflict, especially after WWII?" Alora fizzed, in anger.

The plane would finally land in Monaco.

7 April 1949

"I'm not going to tell you how to live your lives, but you have my word that I'll do everything in my power to make sure our country doesn't become a haven for terrorism", said Xue Jin in one of his radio broadcasts. "I extend my deepest condolences to the victims of the Grand Bazaar bombing. I feel the pain in my heart every time I think of them. To anyone with ideas of bringing this poisonous ideology here: trying to emulate these actions will surely not go unpunished."

Dili, Hongma
May 1949

The capital of Hongma was Dili, which for a time was home to the only independent Chinese-plurality nation outside China. The city was headquarters to the International Herald Tribune Corporation. The company's founder, Lord Elgin, was a pro-Chinese resistance supporter in the First Opium War. Dili was also a centre of Chinese immigration alongside Taiwan after the takeover of the People's Republic of China.

The city was largely rebuilt after riots connected to the Second Opium War, when anti-Westerner sentiments were at fever-pitch and mobs set many homes on fire. The riots were largely suppressed by the Portuguese governor and Chinese loyalists who repurposed the ruins' building materials to build a statue in honor of the fallen defenders.

The citizens were wondering if the country was walking on eggshells in the emerging post-war order. Eyebrows are raised on some Malays, who were continually whispering about being marginalized by the Chinese, Portuguese, and Greeks, whether they look up to their Nusantaran brethren and the charismatic and headstrong Sukarno. Centuries of non-Malay rule taught the natives not to trust anyone, most notoriously towards the Chinese.

Opinion pieces lamented that Hongma's post-independence political landscape hadn't been kind to minorities either, with a number of ethnic groups feeling left out of the process. This was despite Xue Jin's repeated speeches of reaching the goal to be the 'country of the future' for 'all people of today'.

Detractors of the nativists countered that while they want to see their homeland returned to 'true' Malaya where 'all Malays are equal' and all are protected, regardless of race, religion or place of birth, what if the law and order isn't always served by the strong and unyielding Malay army? The heavy-handed measures of Nusantara towards "traitors" worry them. Their ancestors have lived in this land for centuries, right? Aren't they also part of the community as much as the Malays were?

Montevideo, Uruguay
6:30 AM UTC-03:00

Dawn was only a few hours away in the city of Montevideo, and by the time the sun would appear from below the horizon, Uruguay would enter a new age. Diego was not too involved in the fighting unlike the other pirates in the small group that had arrived at the capital yesterday morning. He was there mainly to keep company with the three generals that Vaas had convinced to overthrow the government.

"I'm sure you all fully understand Vaas's terms?" Diego asked. All three of the generals had nodded in agreement. "Remember, your relationship with Vaas as well as your black market activities should be kept with utmost secrecy. Kill anyone that you suspect has found out about this. Other than that, you have Vaas's permission to run your country as you please as long as you cooperate with us.". Again, the generals acknowledged Diego's statements.

By 8:00, fighting had finally ceased. The coup was successful. One hour later, as the sun rose from below the horizon, the three generals appeared outside the capital building to give a radio speech.

My brothers and sisters, from the youngest our children to the oldest of our elderly and all other Uruguayans in between. We declare ourselves free from the corruption and inefficiency of the so-called "free-democracy", an idea implanted in our minds by our previous imperialist masters in the British Empire. May we be free of the persuasion of European ideas that has corrupted our culture and our heritage. And to call upon the most horrific of crimes against us by not only the British Empire themselves, but their puppets that do the dirty work of imperialism on their behalf. These most horrific of crimes include the murder of our very own people, the stripping of our right to self-defense and economic freedom, and our imprisonment from foreign relations. My brothers and sisters, it is of those crimes and the degrading of our society due to democratic forces, I declare after only hours of fighting, the nation of Uruguay free from oppression!

“Indeed we are but not for reasons you may think.” Kim said. “We have ambitions to set up and puppeteer most of, if not all of Southeast Asia and Oceania and beyond. We’ve already sponsored a movement in the Philippines to topple the Westernized regime but the Americans prove to be quite the pest. So we need a pesticide, if you’re understanding what I’m saying.”

"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."

A grand parade of the National Volksarmee’s new T-54 main battle tanks rolled down Karl-Marx-Allee Boulevard earlier this week in East Berlin, a fresh order from the Soviet Union received in exchange for the GDR's surplus reparations payments to the USSR. Produced in the Soviet Union earlier in the year, the T-54s came out of the Stalin Ural Tank Factory. The tanks and their 100 mm guns will augment the already heavily-armed and well-equipped East Berlin garrison. The Ministry of Industry and Engineering also plans to construct a domestic T-54 tank factory in the vicinity of the city, in Strausberg, which will increase the Berlin region's industrial employment.

The German Democratic Republic salutes the Soviet Union's military prowess and its technological knowledge, and will continue to support the development of the armed forces of the socialist revolution. United, we cannot be defeated!

Reach for the Stars: East German Diplomatic Delegations Embark for Soviet Union, China, and Korea with Top Ex-Nazi Rocket Scientists

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs announced new assignments to the GDR diplomatic corps, including new diplomatic delegations destined for a number of countries in the coming weeks. The itinerary includes trips to China, Korea, Turkey, Brazil, France, Canada, and of course the Soviet Union. Envoys shall be traveling by both land and sea, as an opportunity for the GDR to demonstrate the new inter-connectedness of the Communist International.

Envoys bound for China and Korea for instance shall be traveling first alongside the delegation to Moscow for an inter-party summit with the CCCP; envoys will then continue along the Trans-Siberian Railroad and the Chinese Eastern Railway to Beijing and Pyongyang, demonstrating the breadth of socialism’s transportation network across the Eurasian supercontinent.

Along with the diplomats themselves, East German scientists who previously worked on the Third Reich’s V-2 rocket program will are being stationed on assignment in the USSR, PRC, and GKR to share information and resources in accelerating the rocket program. Existing plans seized from the Nazi rocketry facilities in East Germany already show how to build the V-2 rockets capable of traveling 200 miles, and with modern enhancements the rockets are almost able to reach Vienna.

These rockets are essential the the Soviet Bloc's defense plans in Asia and Europe, and collaborating on rocketry research guarantees the Soviet Bloc will soon be reaching unprecedented new heights.

Save Our Sovereignty! East Germany Moves Anti-Aircraft Guns to West Berlin Perimeter, Closes Western Checkpoints

In a move to protect the sovereignty and safety of the German Democratic Republic, the National Volksarmee has begun installing a ring of tactical anti-aircraft batteries along the perimeter of the Western-occupied zone of Berlin. Along with reporting on this deployment, the GDR Ministry of Defense issued a public statement:

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.

Military officials say seventy percent of the defensive installations are already in place, and the remaining batteries are expected to be at full operational capacity in a matter of days. Searchlights have been installed along the city’s outskirts, and Berlin schools and public housing facilities are participating in routine emergency drills in accordance with civil defense guidelines written for a time of heightened vigilance.

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,
Lt. Ulrich Meinhardt

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

“Indeed we are but not for reasons you may think.” Kim said. “We have ambitions to set up and puppeteer most of, if not all of Southeast Asia and Oceania and beyond. We’ve already sponsored a movement in the Philippines to topple the Westernized regime but the Americans prove to be quite the pest. So we need a pesticide, if you’re understanding what I’m saying.”

"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.”

Chiang Kai Shek was in his office. His desk was made out of the finest black wood and was polished and shining. The room was decorated with Chinese and Western paintings. Behind Chiang, hanging on the wall, was a portrait of himself dressed in military uniform.

Sitting opposite of his desk were Yang Kang and Guo Jing, Ministers of Finance and Development respectively. Both of them were in their forties and considered part of the new generation of Kuomitang politicians, embodying a technocratic spirit.

"Gentlemen," Chiang said, "we need to take measures to kickstart the economy. A military takeover of the Mainland, as you know, is not going to be happening any time soon, so we need to focus on Taiwan."

"We need to reform the tax code," Yang Kang replied, "to simplify it and lower the overall tax rates for small businesses. We also need to implement a land reform program that will allow the government to redistribute land to farmers. China must be a nation of private property owners."

"I agree with my colleague," Guo Jing said. "We also need to establish a developmental bank to finance loans directed to small business owners and enact tariffs that will protect our nascent national production from foreign competition. We need to build up an industrial base. We could ease up regulations and cut the paperwork to aid this effort."

"I am in full agreement with both of you," Chiang replied. "Prepare the bills, so in the next few weeks they can be presented to parliament." Even though RoC was a dictatorship, it wanted to maintain the appearance of being a liberal republic.

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.

President Vincent Auriol and Prime Minister Henri Queuille where in shcok. After the attacks that had sent all of France into a lockdown, now East Germany was playing with fire. By the looks of it, East Germany was to seal off West Berlin from land transport, leaving only the skies open. Besides the obvious fact that this threatened French interests, it seemed eerily reminicent of a seige to starve a city into submission, something that usually was brutal on those on the receiving end.

"This is stupid." Auriol sighted with a long face as he nursed a lukewarm coffee.

"And quite brash. The consequences of people die from starvation will be horrible." Prime Minister Queuille chimed in with a drowsy voice.

"Clearly we need to act." Schuman, the Foreign Minister said suddenly.

"How about a military show of force?" The Defence Minister suggested.

"And end up dead?" Asked Auriol as he moved his coffee to the side and went white with rage. "We will airlift all the suplies Berlin needs! and if they dare touch one of our planes, we will bomb East Germany back into the stonge age! Do you hear me?!" He yelled.

"Vincent, calm down." The Prime Minister ordered.

"Henri! This is what happens when we play soft! People try to mess around with you! Now we need to either stand up or watch half of Berlin starve and loose a conection to our vital outposts in Berlin! Do you really want that?!" The president asked as the Foreign Minister noded his head.

"And I think I know what to do." Schuman sighed.

"On that note, I think it's time we put the French industry to good use. We should build our own tanks again." The Minister of Defence suggested.

"What did you have in mind?" Asked the Prime Minister.

"Well, the new AMX-13 is showing promise, the ARL-44 could work, the army wants the FCM 50t, and AMX wants to sell it's AMX-50/100 and AMX M4 mle. 49 to us." The defence minister explained.

"Tell AMX they can build the AMX-13, the AMX-50/100 may begin production, and so may the AMX M4. but the AMX M4 must have the AMX-50/100s main gun. Make sure AMX gets that." The president ordered.

"That can be done." The Defence Minister sighed.

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

The French government apreciates 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 interuptions to such could be catastrophic.
