Savinkovist Violence Across Central Asia
CENTRAL ASIA - There has been reports that Savinkovists have carried out attacks across Turkestan, Khiva and Bukhara, which had destabilized the latter two and prompted nationalists in the former to call for action against Savinkovists. The Russian government has condemned these attacks and vowed to rid Central Asia of Savinkovists if it can. The Russian government also calls for many Russian emigrés to return home in order to avoid retaliation from Central Asians.

Violent Clashes In Petrograd
PETROGRAD - Petrograd has lately been seeing violent clashes between supporters of both the Rejuvenation League (LO) and the Greater Russian National Front (BRNF). The local police has tried to break up the clashes, but got caught in the crossfire. As of this moment, fatal casualties have included 20 LO supporters, 15 BRNF supporters and just one police officer, Sergeant Vladimir Yeltsin. Numerous other people have been severly injured in the clashes. The Russian government has sent deep condolences to the officer's family and vowed to punish supporters of both parties for inciting violence in Petrograd. Meanwhile, the BRNF has also called for an attack on the German embassy in Moscow, which have prompted the Russian Army to mobilize immediately.

Worker's strike in the port of Veracruz
Today, in the port of Veracruz a strike by dissidents in the port of Veracruz, dock workers, and workers of other local factories have gone on strike demanding better salaries, and other such needless luxuries like mandatory vacation days, and improved conditions, the Worker's Police have clashed with the strikers and per orders of Chairman Garrido parts of the recently formed National Guard are to be sent to crush the strikers in case the police prove to be ineffective.

The Cristeros
Under the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe the "Cristeros" have started to rally in rural areas around Mexico, and even the capital, while before resistance by religious extremists had already happened, this would be a true threat to national security, and according to the Chief of the National Guard those thugs must be crushed

Rumours of attacks on indigenous people's villages
Recently there have been rumors that our benevolent government has been indiscriminately killing indigenous people's, these reports seem to be coming from fake insurgent sources, while we're willing to get our gloves dirty as no revolution is maintained in white gloves our dear leader would never commit such acts of terror and debauchery.

Summary:
-Worker's Strike in the port of Veracruz
-Christians start to organize to resist state-enforced atheism
-Government attacks on the villages of indigenous people's suspected of "wanting to destroy the regime"

-Janko, lead the offensive, the Bulgarian army on our border is quite small, it will be best to reach the cities of Knazjazevac and Leskovac and try to connect a dozen kilometers beyond Niš. About 35% of our professional army will be allocated to the offensive, in few places we have even a 3-fold advantage.
Besides, he will send a request for American volunteers and some equipment.

Sofia, Bulgaria

As a result of Serbia's war declaration, German volunteers who were well seasoned veterans of the Second Weltkrieg started arriving in the capital of Bulgaria in support of Bulgaria against Serbia. 3 panzer divisions and 3 mechanized infantry divisions worth of equipment were also sent in to supply the German volunteers. 4 fighter squadrons and 3 fighter bombers squadrons were also sent to support the troops.

I send this letter to you as a warning that if you continue with your war with Bulgaria, I will be given no choice but to declare war on Serbia. You have been warned.

- Comrades! Populists and emperors have enslaved the workers of Japan for too long! It's time for revenge! For the years of enslavement! Criminals in uniform must yield! Forward!
The furious crowd broke through the fence towards the emperor's seat. The emperor decided ...
-Soldiers, fire!-He shouted
Some of the soldiers looked at the emperor in disbelief. Nobody fired.
-What are you waiting for?!
-We will not take any orders from you, we will not kill them.-replied one of the soldiers.
-Fire! -the officer started screaming
The soldiers once again opposed the order
-No, we will not start shooting at them, answered the soldier once again.
Suddenly, most of the soldiers start targeting the Emperor and the officer
-Give up!- one of the soldiers said.
Hirohito raised his hands up ...


Tokyo Revolutionary Radio
Hello comrades. It is today that riots began throughout the country and virtually all of Tokyo is taken over by the United Revolutionary Forces. Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of the Empire, or perhaps it is just a temporary awakening. This is not known. In any case, Tokyo radio stops broadcasting from today. Goodbye.

El Amanecer Rojo

Workers' strike in Veracruz continues.
The workers' strike of the workers of the port of Veracruz continues, red and black banners are being flown, and the police have been repelled, the National Guard is coming in to save the day, according to the battered police officers the strikers are building barricades and they are beginning to call this an act of revolt to be crushed, furthermore many of the agents that defend the proletariat from itself have been either badly hurt or killed, at the very least we have 3 confirmed police officers dead, once the National Guard arrives the situation is expected to diffuse.

Subsecuent strikes in México City
Inspired by the Veracruz strikers factory workers, and office workers have taken to the streets flying similar colors alike the Veracruzan traitors, the strikers are congregated along el Zocalo, and are demanding directly to the Chairman's Palace for the improvement of conditions, and similar needless frivolities the Veracruzanos have demanded as well, the National Guard has already surrounded the mob and the traitors should disband soon and be imprisoned, the National Guard, of course, will not refrain from using violence if the need be.

Cristero traitors attack government offices
Recently, acts of terror by Cristero have been occurring in which bombs are planted in local government buildings, and in which another infrastructure is being damaged alongside reports of Cristero marches in small villages which have pledged allegiance to the Cristeros, these attacks will be dealt by the military directly as the National Guard is the too far way in Central México, the North has been considered in a state of resistance to progress by Chairman Garrido.

Rumours of resistance in the South, and Yucatan
Recently reports of alleged resistance in the South have been delivered to Chairman Garrido, it's said by military officers stationed in the South that it's men and women in horses who are armed and fly the former banners of disgraced revolutionary, Emiliano Zapata, of course, we think of this as merely bandits and the military should be able to deal with that alone, it's also reported that they fly similar red and black banners to the strikers in central Mexico, but that is not the same.

Dissident newspaper in Baja California
Recently a dissident newspaper has been opened in Baja California, the authorities are seeking to shut it down and to clamp down on its distribution due to fraudulent information coming from the newspaper which authorities in Baja California have found is called "Las Magonistas" the publishers and writers once found will be sent to jail to ensure they cannot spread misinformation in the glorious Workers' Republic of Mexico.

Las Magonistas

Call to Arms!
Soldaderas, revolutionaries, Magonistas, anarchists! rise up, we cannot allow liberty to be extinguished! the legacy of the real Mexican Revolution cannot be wiped away by those who follow the legacy of authoritarianism! organize and revolt! rise up in arms and fly your old banners of revolutionary intentions! The government hasn't been able to disarm us all after the US intervention, rise up! we shall not be oppressed anymore! and a continuation of the true revolution is in order!

Summary
-Mexico City workers go on Strike
-Veracruz workers are still on strike and repelled the police
-Cristeros have begun to further resist the Totalist government
-Call to arms by a Magonistas illegal newspaper to resist the government and preserve the legacy of the true Mexican revolution
-(AKA, everything's going to shite)

Catch-Up RP (February-June 1944)

February, 1944
Crushing the Algerian Insurgents

With the Algerian Insurgency intensifying even further now that President Francois rejected the Algerian Referendum, the Government deployed Metropolitan Troops on the Algerian Coast as the Colonial ones are not trustworthy for now. The FLN declared that they won't stop until they will free Algeria from the Imperialist Hands of France and other Europeans, while more moderate activists still plea to the French Government for negotiation and hopefully further autonomy. As for now, down in the Metropole, on the taken decision and the Fight against the Algerian Insurgency is met with a mix of support and protest. The Syndicalists are especially angry as they want to end Imperialism, but so far, they are busy not getting arrested or killed by French Police and Gendarmerie.

March, 1944
Destroying Communard Legitimacy

Since the 1919 Revolution, there was always been a fight for France's rightful rulership between the Paris Communards and the Algiers Republicans. Now, the Republicans won this fight, eliminating the Syndicalist Regime and making our rightful return in Paris, but many people are still sympathetic to our enemy's cause, especially now that President Francois openly declared the State of Emergency and hunt on the Leftists. In order to combat this and destroying the Communard Legitimacy, a combination of propaganda and campaigning is on the move, showing the values of Republican Democracy, Capitalism, Anti-Syndicalist Propaganda, and teaching the youth in schools about the Legitimacy of the Republic through revised history. There are still Communard Resistance Cells who cannot be swayed to the new regime, mainly Totalists/Sorelians, but those are currently being hunt down by the Authorities.

April and May, 1944

Nothing special happens. Protests and Riots in Algeria and France are steadily dropping and the Government secures more control over its Nation

Economic Recovery

The Weltkrieg had a considerable effect and devastation overall nation involved, but perhaps France was affected the most out of them all. Destroyed Landscape, Unemployment, and Empty Factories are roaming with Rioters and Protests. Along with his Cabinet, President Francois enacted an Economic Recovery Plan to get the nation back on track healthy and steady. The Plan consists of Public Works of repair and replacement of Damaged or Destroyed Infrastructure and Industry, although controversial and seemingly Pro-Syndicalist, a minimum unemployment benefit was given to unemployed people, Resource Excavations in Colonies was restarted. Trade Unions and other Syndicalists Organizations were abolished which obviously angered a lot of Communard Workers. Businesses are encouraged and funded by the Government to flourish the Free-Market and the new Capitalist Liberal System. Land reform is enacted, switching from Land Collectivism to Land Privatization.

Nationalist Violence in Russia!

With the clashes between the BRNF and Rejuvenation League continuing, the BRNF has mobilized and surrounded the German embassy in Petrograd. A few days ago, some began breaching the defenses. The members in the assembly mobilized and began fighting with whatever supplies they could against the Nationalists. The Rejuvenation League assisted the fighters, with Krasnov, the party leader, saying "anything must be done to defend our german purifiers." Besides this, Russia has pledged assistance to the Central Asians against Savinkovists and nationalist insurgents, though its calls for the emigres to come home have been rejected, with Alexander Dutov being the loudest at it.

Coup in Mexico!

Mexico had been hit with a workers strike across Velacruz two weeks ago. The national guard was mobilized, but soon, more problems appeared. Cristeros began attacking the countryside, and rumors of government attacks on indigenous people prompted many in Chiapas and the Yucatan to join the Zapatistas. With another strike in Mexico city, and dissident newspaper, and cristeros being attacked by the army, it seems the National Guard believed itself to be the only ones who could stabilize Mexico. Lazaro Cardenas rode into Mexico city, and, promising the workers more rights if they assisted him, raided the presidential palace and toppled the government. The chairman was killed, but parts of the cabinet, led chiefly by the foreign minister, escaped to America. Browder cancelled his tours and returned, stating the Mexico will soon learn a hard lesson on betraying the revolution. Cardenas has promised christians and the strikers he will end church persecution and improve working conditions, but his coup has caused many to flee to the Zapatistas and more radical Cristeros to increase their attacks. By this point, the Zapatistas are likely to gain all of Chiapas if the civil war erupts, though gaining the Yucatan is shaky. The Cristeros would likely control most of the North, with exceptions such as Baja being controlled by other socialists or the government depending on what happens with the strikers.

Balkans Burn Brightly!

The situation in the Balkans continues to heat up. Reports have come in of American volunteers and equipment arriving to the Serbians, who have begun an offensive against Bulgaria. Their forces have cptured Nis and Knazjazevac, though their mission objective of Lescovac was not secured. The Germans responded by sending volunteers and soldiers, alongside Panzers, to Sofia. Prince Boris has said the Chukŭt na Tor bombs will be loaded onto the German bombers, stating Chukŭt na Tor to be the name of the Bulgarians bomb, but said it was not a fission powered weapon. Bucharest has fallen by this point, and a Greek attempt to replicate a Serbian offensive surprisingly failed. The Romanians have not surrendered, and Carol II urged the Germans not to intervene, citing the fact he is a relative of the Kaiser and that Romania isn't socialist. Regardless, with Romania's diminishing position, it is doubtful his words will reach the Kaiser, but most say the Kaiser wouldn't risk direct intervention.

France Attacks Anti-Government Forces, Begins Reconstructions and Reeducation Policies

The French Republic has attacked pro-independence activists in Algeria and mainly Totalist forces in the past months. There were some minor riots in Africa after the Algiers ones were surpassed, but nothing more. The Pied-Noirs and Algeria garrisons, however, were dismayed at the government considering them untrustworthy. The government began a reeducation campaign, which has prompted much anger from syndicalists. The government abolishing trade unions and fully beginning privatization also helped anger the syndicalists. The rebuilding of infrastructure, and especially the implementation of an unemployment benefit, have calmed the social democrats and to a lesser extent the Marxists however.

Australasian Guard Leadership Trials End

The trial for the leadership of the Australasian Guard has ended. They were mostly allowed lenient prison sentences, with the most severe ones being the death penalty towards the leader and a few life sentences. The trials for their supporters are being held locally, and still ongoing.

Battle's in Egyptian Streets!

With the ongoing referendum, Faruqists have argued against it, stating all Arabs must associate with each other, and that the Africans in Southern Sudan are practically Arab anyway. They have mobilized under the Federated Faruqists Council, and took to the streets. Republicans have joined in, and now street battles between the two are common, with the government sending in the military to stop them, which has caused even more fighting and a growth in the two movements, though mostly in repiblicans.

New Delhi, Capital of the Federal Republic of India

"Mr. President, GDP growth is at a all time high, current estimates are set that by the end of 1945, GDP growth rate could well go over 8 percent. In addition, foreign companies and home grown businesses have been setting up shop all over the country. This is a sign that Capitalism with Indian Characteristics is working. I recommend we double down on investments into local industry, and see where it goes."

President Makund B. Jayakar, current head of state for the world's largest democracy, is currently in a meeting with his senior cabinet members. The person currently speaking is the Secretary of the Economy, R. K. Shanmukham Chetty. Along with him was the Secretary for National Defense, Baldev Singh Chokkar, The Secretary of Foreign Affairs Jawaharlal Nehru (Appointed in a effort to promote bipartisan collaboration), and the Secretary of Home Affairs Vallabhbhai Patel.

"Excellent work, Mr. Chetty. I'll let you get to work on your recommendations. Mr. Chokkar, Mr. Nehru, Mr. Patel, anything else to bring before the cabinet?"

"Sir, if I may," " Chokkar began to speak, "The Indian Defense Forces, for how large of a country we are, are rather meager. We are underfunded, underequipped, and undertrained compared to the armies of the German Empire, or the Dai Nippon Teikoku. I ask that you increase the Defense Ministry's budget, or else we will be vulnerable to foreign powers."

Mr. Nehru begins to speak in protest. "All things considered, Mr. President, we are already spending 2.5% of the GDP on the defense budget. An increase in defense spending could be seen as a provocation by hostile powers, and even neutral nations can use this as a excuse. I recommend that we leave the budget where it is."

"Well, it is no longer up to me. Along with the Woman's Suffrage Act up for vote this afternoon, I have also sent in the Armed Forces Expansion Bill, which will expand defense spending to 5 percent if passed. So is that all for now?" The room falls silent. "Excellent, Meeting adjourned" Jayakar stops Nehru on his way out. Mr. Nehru, I will hopefully be seeing you at the Senate this afternoon?" "Yes, Indeed you will."

Indian National Senate, Sansad Marg, New Delhi, India

The President entered the center of the Indian National Senate, which is currently quiet although that probably won't last long. "Esteemed members of the Senate, I hereby bring before you 2 bills, both of which will hopefully be passed today. The first is the Woman's Suffrage Act. The Indian Constitution does not clarify the status of women and their right to vote. The text of this Act should clarify the situation. It hereby states:

The right of citizens of the Federal Republic of India to vote, whether male or female, shall not be denied or abridged by the Government of the Federal Republic or it's constituting territories.
The Indian National Senate and the Seat of the Presidency of the Federal Republic of India shall have the power to enforce the act via additional legislation.

"I have already put my signature on this Act, now it is up to the Senate to decide. All in favor?" Hands shot up across the Senate floor. After a few minutes of counting, the President states all in favor, "442, all those opposed." Hand went down and some went up. "75, the Act passes into law." Cheers erupt all across the Senate floor. "Quiet in the Senate, save the celebrations for after."

"Now then, onto the Second matter, due to pressure from the Secretary of National Defense, I put before the Senate the Armed Forces Expansion bill, which states the following:

Dedication of funds for the Ministry of National Defense will go up from 2.5% to 5%
A national draft will be put into place for all males between the ages of 18 and 55.

"All in favor?" Hands shot into the sky as Jayakar counted swiftly. "374, all opposed?" Hands fell and rose again "124, the Bill passes and the Senate is adjourned."

La Palabra del Señor

God has spoken, we are the Cristeros, the socialists keep trying to destroy us, and we need to take over if we are to protect the identity of our nation, God shall protect and guide us in our battle against those who seek to destroy our nation from the inside!

India passes women's rights law, reinforces army

In the bustling capital of the worlds largest democracy, the Federal Republic of India, a grand piece of reform was passed. The act stated that the right of individuals to vote would not be constrained by gender, whether by the federal government or its subdivisions. India also raised its army budget by twice as much. The pakistani government, despite its relative liberalism, choose to not to allow women to vote, likely due to India raising its army being seen as a threat. This Prompted protests in territories which wish to join India, mostly by women's rights activists.

Mexican Collapse!

Following Cardenas' coup, the country of Mexico has full on collapsed into civil war. The Cristeros attempted to attack the capital, but were pushed back, while the Veracruz workers rose up and declared a commune. Zapatistas rose up in Chiapas, and the Yucatan nationalists, while not in full rebellion, have mobilized and declared their wish to join the movement. Baja California rose up in revolt as well, under anarchists. Mexican refugees who fled to the USAS have been armed by the American government and began amassing on the border, though the Americans said that even if they wanted, they couldn't invade Mexico for another six months at least, and after being seeing footage of the Mexican refugee army, many foreign generals agreed.

Romania capitulates, Bulgaria moves to Serbia!

The war in the Balkans has turned even more dire. Romania has capitulated, with King Carol II fleeing to Georgia. The Bulgarians put his son, Mircea, as King of a new Wallachian state, with the name Mircea V, arguing he was Carol's oldest legitimate son because a orthodox church never annulled his first marriage. Albert of Wurttemberg, husband of Tsar Ferdinand I's youngest daughter, was made King of Moldavia. Bulgarian annexed Bessarabia and offered it to Ukraine for a price of what in America would be a few hundred thousand dollars, though released it after Ukraine proved indecisive, and asked Austrian Archduke Anton, husband of Carol II's sister, to take the throne. A new Bucharest Division was assembled from various brigades to occupy the city, while the area around the Danube river delta was annexed. Bulgaria moved its remaining troops, splitting them 80% to Serbia and 20% to Greece, and beginning a push into Kosovo with 40% of their army, though the Bulgarians said that the rest will be used as soon as the Chukŭt na Tor bombs are ready next week and are able to destroy the mountains, while instituting massive conscription set to raise the army to 500,000 in two months.

El Salvador falls to Totalism!

After the Mexican crisis began, due to it being near Mexico and in a poor situation, Honduras was rocked by the chaos. Soon enough, the people removed the president and allied America, which swiftly influenced the party congress towards totalist ideals.

The three fronts
The Military is ongoing extraneous reorganization on the number of troops, a general push North is planned but for now, the objective is to hold the lines, regarding the Veracruzan Communards, it should be enough with not too many troops that could go the North, the Communards should be dealt with soon, though in case it does not work two divisions of the National Guard should arrive soon, looking southwards the plan is to simply crush the Zapatistas as soon as possible, we will not fall like Porfirio and his dictatorship, we will stand showing the true revolution's power!

The Election

11:00 Brasília Time

Rio Times logo appears, news jingle plays.

"This is the Rio Times news, live from Rio de Janiero."

Pedro Castro appears.

"Following the collapse of the Brazilian Junta, an election is officially now commencing as a Left-leaning provisional government had been established, and votes are now being counted for each candidate."

Electoral map appears.



"We have Otávio Mangabeira in the PCB, a Syndicalist-Communist Party, and Minervino de Oliviera in the National Democratic Union, a centre-right party. Otávio starting off has about 28% of the electoral vote, while Minervino, having around 17%. Please stay tuned for more information on the election."

14:00 Brasília Time

New Electoral Map appears.



"We now have Otávio, Syndicalist-Communist candidate at 39.2% of the vote while Minervino, National Democratic Union candidate at 21.4% of the electoral vote. With the turn towards a leftist government, it may be likely that the Syndicalist-Communist candidate will win this election. Stay tuned for more election information."

16:00 Brasília Standard

Another new electoral map appears.



"We now have Otávio, Syndicalist-Communist PCB candidate at 47.9% of the electoral vote while Minervino, National Democratic Union candidate at 41.2%. With the election coming closer and closer to an end the election seems to be on the side of the Syndicalist-Communist candidate. Stay tuned for more election information."

16:55 Brasília Standard

Final electoral map appears.



"We now have Otávio, Syndicalist-Communist PCB candidate at 51.3% of the electoral vote while Minervino, National Democratic Union candidate remains at 41.2% of the vote. The Syndicalist-Communist PCB candidate has now been projected to win, though it had now been projected that Otávio Mangabeira won the election, the National Democratic Union and the states that support it have disapproval of the election, angered that the Syndicalist-Communist PCB had won the election. It may be uncertain whether the states that supported the National Democratic Union would declare secession or concede to the electoral results. We shall see in the future, this is Pedro Castro, signing off."

-Vargas had decided to retire from politics after the junta was removed, so he didn't run.
-As stated in the OP's post on the collapse of the Junta, both the Social Democratic and Integralist parties lost popularity in the population and the government therefore, only both the PCB and the UDA were projected in this election.

A New Challenger Approaches!

With Mexico still in a civil war, a new, more unexpected challenger appeared. Rising in the Yucatan, the New Army of three Guarantees seeks to restore the (mostly) united House of Iturbide-Habsburg claim over Mexico, which ranges due to Maximillian's wife adopting a pretender of theirs. Joined by romanticists of Maximillian, the Army has promised a federalist model to the Yucatan citizens, which caused many to flock to them. Following this, most of Yucatan Province fell to the Army, while Chiapas is now under full Zapatista control. The communards in Veracrus were pushed back, and some in their ranks have begun to considered encouraging native rights to hopefully ally with the Zapatistas, though most have drifted to their Magonista comrades. Regarding the Magonistas, they have pushed the Cristeros back in Sonora, taking the panhandle and beginning to move southward. To the north in the USSA, most refugees stopped going there, freezing the exiled Mexican army at 31,000 or so, meaning the Americans will have to take the brunt of the work in any possible future invasion, further stalling the plans, though to what extent is unclear.

Left-wing wins in Brazil!

Elections have ended, and now, the winner is clear, being the PCB under Otávio Mangabeiro. With this, and the PCB getting 69% of the seats in the Senate, a socialist(whether pro-American or neutral) Brazil seems likely. The problem is the Chamber of Deputies, where the remaining parties and members have formed a loose coalition against the socialists, comprising of democrats, independents, monarchists, fascists, social democrats, and many more. Of course, if the coalition collapses, there would be nothing stopping the socialists from setting their agenda out fully.

A Free Mongolia!

Mongolia had been ruled by a Russian government since it was invaded nearly a decade ago, and said occupation government had grown isolated following Savinkovs fall. As the Russian authorities have stated they intended no changes in ruling, Mongols took to the streets, before assembling in a rural revolt within the Western provinces. The authorities blamed the Russians for inciting the rebellion, and Ungern Sternberg called from his Vladivostok residence for the Co-Prosperity Sphere to arm themselves and invade Mongolia to help the rebels, some of whom wish to restore some monarchy, even if under a constitutional system that Sternberg despises.

Paramilitaries in Alash Orda!

Continuing with today's steamy news, Death Squads by Russian national populists were assembled today. Attacking local residences, their leaders said they wouldn't rest until the corrupt government of the Alash fell to its rightful Russian owners, all of Russia united, and the rest of Europe crushed. They have been incredibly violent even by Savinkovist standards, and their casualty count is the same as in the other Central Asian nations, despite their numbers being tiny. The Cossacks and other Russian immigrants said they wish to help the Alash government end the Savinkovist threat, but received no response.

The battle of Puerto Peñasco

A battle between the Magonistas and the Cristeros, 1031 men and women on the side of the Magonistas fighting against the lightly defended port town by 347 men, fighting started in the outskirts of the town ending with the Cristeros surrounded by 20 women of the "Divisiones de Caballeria de la Baja California" which quickly rode around the small town and surprised the defending Cristeros which ended with 194 captured Cristeros, while the rest may or may not have died or have run away, the town was later occupied and is firmly under Magonista control, the cavalry of the Magonistas is going forwards with the goal of reaching Hermosillo, the state capital of Sonora.

The battle of Teapa

As Zapatista forces march now beyond the borders of the state of Chiapas Teapa is the first step in the strategy to cut the government's forces in two, this town will now be the battlefield between Government, and Zapatistas, 2812 men & women on the Zapatista's side, alongside 2000 men on the government's side, the town ended up being seiged by the Zapatistas ending in the government forces to surrender, and for some to defect to the Zapatistas while fighting was ocurring, after the fight the Zapatistas keep marching towards Villahermosa with the objective of taking the state of Tabasco.

The battle of Puebla

The city of Puebla has been on siege for days now, government forces keep puring in, now in the 14981 men in total while the Communards are desperately defending, thousands of workers defending the city, the government is repelled only for more to come, the battles always end in a defeated attacker but battered defence, when whill the Communards break?

The battle of Tampico

The government held city of Tampico, surrounded by Cristeros and Communards, they have been fighting outside the city while the city has been dwingling in supplies, what the National Guard division within didn't expect was that the people of the city would revolt in favor of the Communards resulting in a communard victory, the dead, dissapeared, and injured is unknown, but the city was bloodied, and the Communards bolstered as they raid the government's ammunition, and weapons alongside with those who were made prisoners teaching the Communards, and they now have at their disposition a cache of motorized vehicles which are planned to be used to go North and deny the Cristeros of sea, and to march on Mexico City with motorized support.

Official Press Release of the Office of the Kaiser

Let it be known to the world that I, Kaiser Wilhelm III, officially support the Monarchist movement in the Yucatan Peninsula. As such, Germany will be sending volunteers, military equipment and money to show the world that the German Empire means business. While this will remain a voluntary choice, that could easily change if the Americans decide to involve themselves officially but if they decide to send volunteers then may the best country win. As of today, economic sanctions against Brazil and El Salvador shall go into effect and will remain in place until the current governments are replaced with ones that are neutral to Germany or are Pro German. To our Bulgarian friends, after a long discussion with my advisory council and my prime minister, I have decided to officially issue a declaration of war against both Greece and Serbia. As such, Imperial German Navy units in the Mediterranean will begin blockading the waters around Greece and the Adriatic Sea.

Presidential Palace, New Delhi, India

"Mr. Chokkar, how's the situation in Pakistan?" President Jayakar and Sec. of National Defense Chokkar are in an meeting about the protests on the Pakistani-Indian Border. While staying silent on the matter for the past week, the population and the Indian National Senate expects the President to take a stance at some point.

"Things have only escalated over the past few days. While it started as protests to change the laws in Pakistan to allow women to vote, it has since grown to Women Right's activists, plus their supporters in some of the Border regions, demanding their accession to the Federal Republic of India. Pakistan has refused to do anything on the situation so far, probably out of fear of our response. The ball is firmly in our court."

"What are our possible options, Mr. Chokkar?" "Well, that's simple, sir. We have the diplomatic option, where we put pressure on the Pakistani Government to hold a referendum in the border regions, or we have the military option, where we move to occupy the disputed territories before the Pakistani Government can react. However, I have a plan." "Go ahead."

"We send a demand that Pakistan can't accept, the annexation of the regions into the Federal Republic of India without any plebiscite. At the same time, we mobilize the Indian 1st and 3rd Armies, along with the Princely Guards Tank Division, along the disputed border with Pakistan. When they refuse, we convince the leaders of the protests to declare independence and ask for Indian support, which is when we sweep in the 1st, 3rd, and the Princely Guards into the region. If Pakistan treats this as a invasion, then we invade Pakistan from the disputed regions with the 1st, 3rd, and the Princely Guards, and from the other flank with the Indian Second Army."

"What is the Princely Guards Tank Division even equipped with? When we fought the British-Indian Army, we didn't even have tanks." "Well, when the British-Indian Army surrendered to the Federal Republic, we managed to capture the 7th Tank Division and 5th Tank Division, which gave us about 70 A34 Thunderbolts and 30 A43 Black Princes, so we reorganized them into the Princely Guards Tank Division."

"Alrighty then, I'll send the message to the Pakistani Government, while you get the men ready. Dismissed."

Pakistani-Indian Border

Lt. General Satyawant Mallanna Shrinagesh was observing a mass protest from the Indian side of the border. While it was a few kilometer's away from the border, he could hear the protestors yelling "Accession to India, Accession to India, Accession to India!" A soldier walks up to the general. "Sir, message from New Delhi." "Thank you, dismissed." He takes the message and begins reading.

From, General Baldev Singh Chokkar, Secretary of National Defense
To, Lt. General Satyawant Mallanna Shrinagesh, Commander, Northern Indian Command

Earlier this morning, the President sent a ultimatum to Pakistan, with transcripts having also been sent to the leaders of the protests from our observers inside Pakistan, along with instructions for the follow up after the Pakistani response. A transcript of the ultimatum will be added to these orders. Meanwhile, I am ordering the Indian 1st and 3rd Armies, along with the Princely Guard Armored Division, to be put to maximum combat readiness. In addition, the Second Army has been put under your area of operations, to be transferred within the next few days. The plan for Operation Lightning will be included in this document as well, although this is highly classified and are only for top brass eyes only.

Ultimatum to the Pakistani Government from the Federal Republic of India
The Federal Republic of India, citing recent protests on the border between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Federal Republic of India, hereby demands that the areas where the protest are heavy be annexed into the Federal Republic of India, before the crisis gets out of hand.

[The Democratic Republic of Nytoa]

In Austria the Kaiser Karl has that despite the rumours of a democratic reform are just rumours and they were started by enemies of the powerful and eternal Austria and our government will work to defeat these criminals attempting to destroy our proud nation and its strong tradition of monarchy dating back to our heirs.

The Battle of Mérida

The Ejercito Trigarante was advancing rapidly and was upon the state capital of the state of Yucatan, the forces of the government fought fearcefully against the army of the three guarantees, but ultimatelly, the monarchists came out on top, there are no reports available on how many exactly are missing or have been killed, but this solidifies the monarchist position in the Peninsula as a whole.

The Fall of Hermosillo

The cavalry of the Magonistas has been doing wonders for them, they have reached the capital of the state of Sonora and they captured the city almost bloodlessly as the Cristeros are in a mass retreat to a better defendable position with the Magonista cavalry constantly catching up and doing quick skirmishes, 3 confirmed deaths, and 1 missing.

The Battle of (Mexican) Nogales

The border town of Nogales was taken by the Magonistas, many of the Cristeros fought to the death as the only other alternative for them would be to basically surrender themselves to the USSA, the Magonistas captured a big amount of Cristeros, and 10023 have been confirmed dead or missing.

The battle of Tlaxcala

With equipment taken from the National Guard including trucks and armoured vehicles the Communards are doing a rush, the city of Tlaxcala was taken, and with a low amount of deaths, with most of the units there surrendering seeing the rushing Communards, and the rush keeps going on path to Mexico City.

Mexico war continues, South falls to rebels!

Following the Battle of Teapa, Campeche fell to the Monarchists while Tabasco fell to the Zapatistas. Now, brief clashes have occurred between the two armies, though most generals in the royalist movement are advocating to move troops up north. The Magonistas have now pushed forward, taking all of Sonora and moving Southerward against the Cristeros. Many in the Cristeros are seeking to move against the Republican government, with it bleeding men against the communards in Puebla, which against many expectations still holds out. The battle in Puebla and a subsequent riot in Mexico city has caused many generals to suggest an alliance with the Cristeros in order to end the Communards once and for all. Monarchist support has begun rising in the Cristeros, as German arms started arriving to the Yucatan and volunteers began arriving to the Yucatan in order to support the royalists. Speaking of Germany...

Germany embargoes Brazil and El Salvador, declares war on Serbia and Greece!

With Brazil and El Salvador gaining left-wing governments, the Germans have embargoed them until their governments become pro-German. In BRazil, the messages from the so called "Grand Coalition" of opposing parties have stated there are still democrats in Brazil, except the social democrats who stated that while the syndicalists and socialists disagreed with the Germans, they were not pro-American, causing friction in the loose alliance. The Germans have also declared war on Greece and Serbia. The Ottomans decided to allow the Germans naval access to blockade Greece, as did the Ukrainians and Poles. The Serbians have been pushed out of Kosovo, though the Bulgarian offensive stalemated there due to supply issues. It has also been informed the Serbs are being aided by an unknown force. Prince-Minister Boris, who was recently appointed as Prime Minister and Minister of War, stated that Bulgaria won't deploy the Chŭkut na Tor bombs yet, but said that when they do in two weeks time, the Germans will bomb the Mountains in Western Serbia, while the larger Bulgarian airforce will bomb the rebel controlled mountains. Kaiser Karl has refused to comment. Speaking of Karl...

Austria hunts Republicans!

It seems even Austria is beginning to get repressive, as Kaiser Karl has stated "criminals", AKA people who oppose the monarchy, will be hunted down. While there are some rumors of anti-monarchists, they are restricted to Hungary. While some worry he is getting repressive, senile, or both, Karl remains beloved.

India demands lands from Pakistan, Ultimatum Rejected!

With the protests in Pakistan heating up, India had sent an ultimatum demanding the areas in which the protests were heavy to be returned, which angered the Pakistanis, who rejected the ultimatum. It was said any talk of negotiating on it was small, and any belief to accept practically non-existent in the government. Pakistan and the Kumul Khanate has respected India's wished, likely due to some of their lands being occupied by Pakistan, while the Ma Clique and Tibet refused to comment on account of being pummeled by Chinese troops on a daily basis and being isolated respectively.

Hawaii applies to the Reichspakt!

Morocco gains constitution

Ending this week on a calm note, Morocco has decided to adopt a constitution. The monarch still appoints the upper house and can dissolve the lower one, but regardless, it shows the country moving in a more liberal direction, and a possibility for independence activists to be heard.

[The Democratic Republic of Nytoa]

Kaiser Karl has called a press meeting claiming that “Socialism is a threat to the world we have stood by and watched long enough we thought it would die on its own but it didn’t” a reporter got up “so what are we going to do” there were murmurs in the crowd “we need to declare war this is the beginning of Austria’s involvement in a heroic crusade against the great enemy we may have flaws but they outweigh them war is sadly the only way forward.” After the declaration of war soldiers 250k launched a offensive using huge amounts of military money that hadn’t been used in 25 years spending it on tanks guns planes and factories to make them military spending went to 7 percent to 12 percent using a blitzkrieg strategy.

Central Border of India and Pakistan, 12 hours after Ultimatum Rejection

Plains as far as the eye can see. A fence dotting the border, on the South Side sat 100 Indian tanks of the Princely Guards Armored Division, poised to strike a spearhead into the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. All of a sudden, a message comes in from Indian High Command in New Delhi, with only 2 words:

Commence Operation

The lead tank commander radios the other tanks with one word: "Forward!" The Indian Tanks, supported by 2 brigades of Gurkhas with motorized vehicles, stormed across the border at breakneck speed. Operation Lightning, along with the Indo-Pakistani War, had begun.

New Delhi, India

A message was handed to the Press Secretary of the Federal Republic, to be printed in the next mornings newspaper. It was a statement written by President Jayakar, which stated the following:

"Attention, citizens of India. As of Yesterday Afternoon, for the first time since reunification, the Federal Republic of India is in a state of war. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, refusing to follow popular sovereignty when it comes to regions on the border, as well as refusing to acknowledge Indian claims over several key border regions, has gone too far against the interests of India and her citizens. This is a war of liberation for our brothers and sisters in the disputed territories who wish to be free. For the sake of freedom and personal liberty, India will come out on top.

Indo-Pakistani Border, First few days of Military Operations Summarized

As soon as the order was given, over 250,000 Indian soldiers, belonging to 9 infantry and 3 motorized divisions, 100 tanks, and the few aircraft of the Indian Air Defense Force steamrolled over the borders of Pakistan. On the western border was the Indian 1st Army, made up of 3 divisions of conscript infantry, which began a offensive towards the city of Quetta, the westernmost city of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The eastern flank was made up of 2/3 of the Indian 3rd Army, supplemented with 2 motorized Gurkha Divisions to add on to their strength of 4 conscript infantry divisions. Their objective was up the River Indus, and towards the Eastern city of Amritsar.

Finally, the central was made up of India's few professional troops. Along with the Princely Guards Tank Division, there was a division of motorized Gurkha elite infantry and 2 veteran infantry divisions, the first being the 6th Indian "Spearhead" Division, which led the final assault on the last British stronghold of Karachi in the last days of the Reunification Wars, and the second was the Indian 9th "Calcutta Boys" Division, which routed the last remnants of the eastern Syndicalists near their capital in Calcutta. Their objective was the prize of the campaign, through the Punjab plains and onto the metropolis city of Lahore, the capital of the Punjab region.

Officially the Magonistas, the Zapatistas, and the Communards sign an alliance of mutual aid, the workers of Mexico shall be freed from oppression! communes and the workers unions shall lead us forwards alongside the people!

Union of the Cristeros and the Monarchists, their cause keeps fighting as the Cristero lines collapse and as the Monarchists gain ground, they unite.

The remmanents of the Totalist government flee
As the revolt of Mexico City suceeds and the banners of the Zapatistas, Communards, and the Magonistas fly in Mexico City and the working class of Mexico City rejoice in victory the government has fled from the Country, their destiny is unkown to must but it's rumoured that Interin Chairman Lazaro Cardenas may have asked the USSA to be allowed entry to their country, the fall of the remmanents means a lot of the country is now up for grabs with almost no resistance, leaving further chaos to the now unprotected states of the former government, the Zapatistas, Cristeros, and the Communards are sure to take advantage of this.

[The Democratic Republic of Nytoa]

Using the amount of military bases around the border soldiers reinforce the main lines. Propaganda is circulated telling people that socialism is a evil. Using help from Germany both with equipment and taking out threats form the air. Machine gun bunkers around the old border are still used and should socialists push our soldiers back they will help defend our country.
ISIC: The government considers a conscription bill but decides against it they also think of declaring war on Greece but its decided against they think waiting until the war is Serbia is finished.
