Then the treaty is so amended.
Yes, it is a yes.
Then the treaty is so amended.
The Daily Turkey
Sultan Ahmed reportedly reading the Great Treatise of International Law
Our sources in the capital have reported that the Sultan has been seen at court, walking around with a copy of Supreme Commander Jamal and Substitute Messenger Mahmud's book, the Great Treatise of International Law, under his arm. Those close to the Sultan report to have witnessed him reading it. This comes as no great shock, since the book is currently the #1 selling book in Turkey, however, critics are already worried that the book might influence Turkish policy.
On this news, we at the Daily Turkey have decided to publish excerpts from the final three chapters of this massive work:
Chapter 4 - Making War
Section 4A Pre-emptive Strike
... historically, Pre-emptive strike is only allowed if co-ordinated with at least 1 Superpower, preferably the local Superpower. This gives the Superpower an opportunity to evaluate the reasons for the attack and determine whether it is necessary or not. Generally, the Superpower will require that some sort of ultimatim be given to the target prior to the attack...
... When Turkey initially attacked America, it was in violation of this rule, with disatrous results. Essentially this principle ensures that the local Superpower approves of the attack, the reasons behind it or is at least indifferent. In this area, silence is not an acceptable demonstration of assent. The potential attacker must have positive confirmation that the Superpower either approves or is indifferent to their actions...
Chapter 5 - Territorial Claims and Territorial Integrity
-- Territorial Claim
There are three requirements for a nation to claim land as it's own. If these requirements are not met, other nations will feel free to ignore their claims. However, once land is legitimately claimed, it belongs to the nation claiming it, and attempts to usurp their claim are subject to the rules and principles outlined elsewhere in this treatise.
1. Possesion - The tile of land claimed must either contain a City, or Military Camp, or the tile must be within the cultural borders of the nation claiming it... Unsettled land can not be legitimately claimed by anyone, except through a seperate agreement. Furthermore, any such agreement is only binding on nations who have so agreed, not other nations...
2. Development - The resources on the land must be improved within a reasonable time, to the extent that the nation is capable. Undeveloped wilderness or resources have not legitimately been claimed, regardless of whether it lies inside a nation's border...
3. Adequate Defense (for Cities and Military Camps) - Adequate Defense means enough military forces present to demonstrate that you reasonably expect and intend to discourage and or repel attack. At least one, but preferably multiple Units armed with the most up to date weapons the nation posesses are usually enough to satisfy this principle.
3a. Happiness Garrisons / Brute Squads - These are forces armed with obsolete weapons, that have no realistic hope of repeling or discouraging attack. Their only purpose is to supress unhapiness in the local population, not protect the populace from attack. Therefore using "Brute Squads" or "Happiness Garrisons" is immoral, and does not constitute Adequate Defense...
--Territorial Integrity
... The principle of "Territorial Integrity" generally referes to the concept that nations should limit their settlements, conquests and territorial acquisitions to their native Continent. Also implied in this principle, is the belief that Nations have an absolute right to permanently possess territory, once they have claimed it...
Chapter 6 - Slavery and Indentured Servitude
All nations have the sovereign right to manage their governmental policies as they choose, however, the selling, leasing or loaning of a nation's own citizens, into foreign slavery or indentured servitude is generally condemned. This is especially true if the citizens are located in a mature city of level 2 population or more. There are exceptions to this principle, including Military or Naval camps where the population is there merely to service the Camp, or resource camps, where the population are merely contractors sent to hunt or harvest a resource. Another exception is Wartime concessions, where surrendering a city is necessary to end or prevent armed conflict...

Mexico Emerges as a New Player on the International Stage - Mexico City Times
Admiral Bayeg surveyed the burning Chinese coastline with a grim look. The smell of burning human flesh tore at his nostrils, but he ignored it, as he ignored the moans and cries of the dying throughout the once vast city of Shanghai. The cadets of the fleet thought that the Admiral never smiled, though those few who knew the man knew it to be true. Yet after such a great victory against India's greatest enemy through millennia should have brought a smile to any leader. Admiral Bayeg did not smile.
Growing up as a young man of high birth in Calicut he had joined the hastily assembled Indian navy in its infancy. Quickly gaining renown due to his combined skills and brutality officers saw great potential in the young midshipman, but feared his temper and excessive methods. During his time as an officer in training another midshipman had questioned scrawny Bayeg's martial capacities. Midshipman Bayeg challenged him to a duel.
On a damp warm morning on the outsides of the officer training camp, Midshipman Bayeg met with Midshipman Yabura, accompanied by their representative witnesses. As India considered itself a civilized and peaceful culture, duels usually took place in the form of public debates, with great oratory and logic determining the winner. Yet the northernmost Indians would fight a duel by swords until first blood, or if the wounded persisted, until a yield. Midshipman Yabura was a charming noble from the northern mountains, the most martial of all Indians, fiercely devoted to the art of swordfighting which had originated in his lands in ancient times. He was athletic with a quick step and considered among the finer swordsmen of the recruits. The entire class of Midshipmen had thought Bayeg to be slightly insane for issuing the challenge and it was laughed during the entire week that at the end of Friday when the duel was scheduled, Bayeg would be known as "Scarbag", as undoubtedly Yabura would slash his face and end the duel swiftly.
Many of the cadets and midshipmen had gone to see the duel, and 27 faces watched on as the swords were drawn, inspected and given to the duelists. Yabura took the first swing, a strong swift strike that rung a dull metallic sound throughout the hot tropical air as it met Bayeg's blade. Yabura continued to press on, attacking with precision and skill, forcing Bayeg backwards. Concentrating on defending himself, Bayeg used both hands on his swordhandle and blocked or dodged the attacks as they came. Then Yabura made a quick feint to the left and as Bayeg made to block it, Yabura's blade quickly turned and slashed a gash across Bayeg's chest, the pain causing him to lose his footing and drop to one knee. The crowd let out a gasp and some began to talk loudly, expecting the fight to be over.
Bayeg however rose again and motioned that he wished to continue, his noble opponent nodded and they began again. This time Bayeg took the offensive, slashing angrily and determinedly with aggressive sweeping strokes. Yabura blocked the attacks with determined nervosity obvious in his expression, but managed to sidestep as Bayeg thrust too hard and lost balance. Another swift stroke and Bayeg was bleeding from a horizontal cut on his left shoulder. Again Bayeg continued the fight by adopting a more balanced approach, blocking and attempting counterstrikes, and again he was cut, the third time on his right arm. "Yield", said Yabura, yet the fury in Midshipman Bayeg's eyes indicated no such intentions.
As the fourth exchange of blows began the crowd's cheers and comments had begun to die down. The midday sun was now baking and Bayeg's blood had colored the dusty ground with patches of red. Bayeg now kept his distance, so much so that some in the crowd began to boo him. Yabura smiled at the crowd and continued to move towards Bayeg who kept circling backwards to get further from the now red-stained blade of his opponent. Then suddenly Bayeg side-stepped and lunged, ineffectively as Yabura took a firm step front with his right foot and blocked while turning, only to be blinded by the reflection of the sun on Bayegs blade. He swiftly shifted his weight to regain his composure, but his right foot suddenly lost traction and he slipped. With a swordsman's grace he managed to keep on his feet by touching the ground with his swordarm and pushing back up, but it was too late. A hard overhead blow took him in the right arm and sheared his bicep from the bone. Screaming in pain and shock Yabura lost all sight of his opponent. Bayeg stood motionlessly for some time as the others gathered round to help Yabura to a medic. Then he murmured, "You slipped in my blood. I made your own strength a weapon against you." Then he threw his sword on the ground and marched off. Midshipman Yabura survived, but lost the use of his right arm.
After the duel all the other Midshipmen and cadets were wary of Bayeg, the cold ragefire that ignited as he was cut while losing the duel never faded. He smiled less after that day.

News of the Day: Indian Atrocities and the Epic Humanitarian Crisis
Puco Mancha and Lee Wang reporting.
December 13th, 1795
The Inca airforce, under Air General Tupo, has flown into China to undisclosed locations to assist the Chinese in their hour of need and catastrophe. The navy continues its approach, and is scheduled to be in theater within the year. A second detachment has left from Inca waters and is expected to be in the theater some time later. The new flagship of the Inca Navy, the I.E.S. Flotzilla has left Caczcoyna harbor as well. This new type of ship can hold multiple air squadrons within its hold, and serves as a floating airstrip. A formal declaration of war is expected around the same time the navy enters the theater.
The Inca population are rallying around their leadership, the importance of the Russian occupation fading quickly in light of incoming dispatches from the "Chinese Genocide". The call for Inca armies to be returned from Aztec lands have not ceased, however, with the population now insistent upon "being on the right side of atrocities, the side that defends the afflicted." And if that means retaining a large mobile force to deal with genocidal situations and illegal wars in rapid response, the population is fully behind it. It has also increased the urgency for international ratification of the CIJ, which has unfortunately met a very lukewarm response even after the "democratic amendments" recently altering the original framework. The Diplomatic Chief had this to say: "we had high hopes for this treaty, yet it appears the international community, with one exception, has no interest in creating a more just world. While many scream and beg for an end to atrocities, no one is willing to make any real commitments to such desires. It is extremely unfortunate."
The aftermath of the Indian invasion is still unclear, but what is known is that multiple major population centers have been effectively erased from the map. Where once great cities stood, centers of world trade and culture, now lie rubble and corpses. Millions are presumed dead, perhaps tens of millions. "An unfolding humanitarian catastrophe the likes of which the world has never before seen," how the leader of Human Justice Internationac describes the situation. "The ancient crimes against Egypt and the current atrocities against the Azteca simply cannot compete with the horror and destruction that is ongoing in China. The destruction in China today is greater perhaps than all previous atrocities in the entire history of Mankind combined. This is, to say the least, totally unprecedented in its barbarity and uncivility."
Reports from China indicate that Indian forces have been annihiliated in the Chinese mainland, although certain Malay territories "still retain an Indian presence." Unfortunately for millions of ethnic Cantonese, Vietnamese, Thai, Hmong, and Malay peoples, this reaction came far too late.
Those who haven't been killed have fled to the countryside. Unfortunately, with the loss of central control in many provinces, supplying these people has become impossible, and most are expected to not survive the next six months. Aside from the Inca, no aid has been promised to the Chinese.
"I blame the government and army for a grand display of unqualified neglect of duties. It's as if they were completely asleep at their posts for 10 years running. How they could not have foreseen this invasion is beyond me. They have the forces to have prevented this, but instead they decided to take a prolonged nap. It is unforgiveable," one man told a reporter. The feeling appears to be widespread, and although there is massive discontent with the central government and armed forces, few are publicly voicing these concerns, with nearly one-hundred percent of the public's ire being directed firmly and unflinchingly on the Indians. The Japanese have also shared some of the scorn for similar oversights.
As the weeks pass, more stories come forward of Indian slaughter, rape, and pointless destruction. The cities are gone, their inhabitants passed from the world en masse, from a privileged position of peace and advancement to annihilation in a night. One turn, one pass of the sun, and they are disappeared. A charred world where not even scavengers dare to tread is left to remember these monuments of civilization, and the few masonry buildings left standing after the blazes tore through the blocks stand as the only markers for the mass graves of millions. Aid workers grope through an apocalyptic expanse, trying to appreciate the reality, but find in their hands only ash and rubble, torn clothes and cinders. Purpose, meaning, reason are lost with the denizens, a cloud of inexplicability and shock streams over the cities, thick and black, keeping the Indian crimes in the dark of billowing shade. They try to paint justification over such a scene, but you cannot whitewash a toppled wall. Through the now collapsed structures, the Indian Nature shines through, the sole source of light in this place. Its harsh glow radiates from these places, and in turn now begins to light up the skies over Delhi and the subcontinent. We can only hope its sickening, deep orange hue reaches no further in this world.
The Daily Turkey
Mad-King Camaxtli Remains in Tenochtitlan
Sources in Azteca report that King Camaxtli remains defiant and still refuses to accept the city of Tlaxcala back into Azteca control. Some reports are that he has become completely demented, and denies that the Aztec fleet was ever sunk. "He still hopes that the government of Valhalla will upgrade his 'vast navies' into modern warships" one source said. Meanwhile, Russian forces have reportedly decided to give the Azteca citizens some relief, realizing that as long as Camaxtli remains in power the situation can never be resolved and the suffering will never end.
More Reports on the Last Days of Suleiman The Magnificent
by Rashid, on location in Tlaxcala
Witnesses of The Magnificent Martyr's last battle against the forces of the Evil Mad-Camaxtli have come back with even more shocking details about the indomitable spirit and legendary bravery of Suleiman and his Marine detachment following the heroic sinking of the entire Aztec fleet.
An Accolyte Merchant, named Raja was in Tlaxcala on business at the time commented:
"I was in Tlaxcala on my way to the Tlaxcala harbor after concluding some business in Tenoctitlan, people were starving and begging, it was pitiful to see. But the words on everyone's lips was not the pathetic conditions around them, but of how the Turkish Marines had managed to sink the entire fleet."
Another man, an Accolyte hunter remarked:
"I learned that it was just one Marine who accomplished this amazing feat, singlehandely. I was even more astounded that it was none other than Cheif Naval Advisor Suleiman II who had done this. I was very proud to be Turkish that day, proud of his courage and guile. But then I heard that King Camaxtli was sending a massive force to capture the Mighty Suleiman. All of us Accolytes here were fearful for his life."
I also encountered a traveling survivalist/adventurer who called himself "The Snake Man." "Snake" as we called him was an Azteca native, and claimed to have actually spent some time in the Alamo, cooking for the Marines. He recounted:
"The Marines dem in good spirits, ready for the comin battle with Camaxtli's forces. They was there to protect Croc-Ett and they was willing to die trying. Croc-Ett kept telling them to go away and let him face the perils alone but they love him and say they would no leave he side. Croc-Ett was the bravest man I ever see in the face of certain death he never seemed even a little bit afraid."
When I asked him who "Croc-Ett" was, he laughed and replied:
"The leader of the Marines of course! I have heard later that he was called Soo-Lay-Men but nobody called him that in the Alamo. All the Marines they was calling him Croc-Ett"
I was intrigued, and asked him where he supposed the nickname "Croc-Ett" came from. He quickly answered:
"Of course it was from da cooking dat we did! Croc-Ett asked if I would stay fi' a while fi' hep 'im cook some food for his men. But dey only had one Large Iron Pot fi' cook in. So we had to make everything in'a dat pot. Me' hear dem is call a "Crock" pot. We would stew animals ana de vegetables in it. Cactus-Rabbit stew is delicious you see. I was dere fi' days, and I found different plants for da men to eat, but whenever I would ask the leader how he want dem cook, he would say "Just Crock it!", meaning he wants me to put it in that big Crock pot and stew it. He said "Crock-it" so much, soon the men were calling him Crock-it, so that's why I calls him Croc-Ett too."
I pressed him to tell me more about the last days of Suleiman, and he shared a stirring tale:
"The Aztec Army was scared to attack Croc-Ett's men at first. Those bastards were such good shots, they kept picking the Aztecs off. So then the Azteca General, I think he name "Santa-Enya" or something like that... he tells his Army drummers and Cavalry trumpeteers men to play this old Azteca song "Slit Their Throats", in our language it called "Deguello." They play it over and over and over. The song is supposed to have magic powers to make the enemy scare away or piss his pants and surrender. They played that song day and night for days"
But then, the last night, just when the Marines were about to go crazy from hearing the song too many times, Croc-Ett went to the top of the roof, all by he-self with some stringy instrument. Then played his own version of the song right back at the whole Azteca army! I mean he was up there in range of all their guns, in full view and nobody even shot at him, he was so good. And the way he played it was as if he was mocking the Aztecs... like he was saying we Marines no scare for you so go ahead and attack. And they stopped playing the song after that. To this day they calling his version Deguello-de-Croc-Ett."
"The next day, they attack. I bareley got out of that place alive, and I heard that Croc-Ett no made it he-self. I was sad to hear that. He was one brave bastard."

Mexico Emerges as a New Player on the International Stage - Mexico City Times
Camaxtli makes dramatic speech:
"Yes some Aztecs accepted the return of the cities, but they will see that this is a deal turned bad..
the famines will continue as the Russians destroyed the very basis of the cities.."
"Russia will burn!"
Following the baby-boom in Russia due to collectivized and modern agriculture, which made even the smallest tundra villages brimming with life, combined with the industrialization of the whole country, a new middle-class is born. The new class demands finer wares and professes that it is actually good to be consumer and to have luxuries.
The new generation grows confident in their strength and importance with well-grounded pride of being part of the greatest nation of the world. To some of the youngsters this sets nationalistic sentiments and they are ready to join Krasnaia Armia and serve Matushka Rus,
while other are outright pacifists and condemn the violence as a way of solving conflicts.
In the economic sphere there are strong doubts - is it best everything to remain property of the state - a formula proved useful and strong in the years that passed, or as the new middle-class demands the markets to be open and the leading tendencies in founding corporations to be used to drive Russia forward and stay competitive.
A lot of the older Russians, who remember the Great War, the hunger and poverty and are conservative communists are against these changes, but can the course of the time be reversed?
When asked about her opinion what is best for Russia amongst the great variety of political opinions and options, The Russian Communist Party Chairman Comrade Catherine answered:
"We are Democratic People's Republic. The forthcoming people's vote will decide the future of Russia."
Three of the first migrating Siberian Bewick Swans arrive in Plymouth, England, from Russia. Experts
have warned the birds' sudden arrival means Britain is in for a harsh winter.
Admiral Bayeg was on alert, standing on the ship's deck watching the burning Chinese horizon shrink in the distance, he had to return home now. Most of his brothers in arms had perished during their courageous and devastating attack, the Galleons carrying the brave marines sunk by China's small, but advanced fleet. The Admiral realized that he would have to make some hard decisions in the coming days. It reminded him of his early days in the fleet as a sub-lieutenant.
The promotion from midshipman had come the same day as the fleet was finished. Tens of thousands of Indians had perished during the Japanese blockade and thousands more had perished in their fierce determination to break the blockade by building ships with every hand available in Calicut. The rations were few and meagre and prioritized for the sailors who would soon set the first Indian Frigates and Privateers to water to defeat the blockade. Sub-lieutenant Bayeg was commissioned aboard the refitted civilian ship the IPS Retaliator as the sailing master's mate. The Sailing Master was a fat old man named Vingosh who had previously been the captain of a smuggler vessel, until the war. Every seaworthy ship in India was commandeered by the newly formed Indian-Pacific Ocean War Ministry. Refitted as a Privateer class ship it was a good ship, fast, manouverable and fitted with lowgrade cannons made from pots and pans collected throughout the city. The once rich trading port of Calicut was now a scraped city, people hunted rats for food and ate with their fingers as even cutlery had been collected to be made into cannonballs.
The Retaliator was to launch from the hidden cove where it was built and sail out to join the Frigates coming from southern India. The fleet would form up and moor at a particular location, within range of the Japanese Line-Ships. It was a risky, desperate strategy, but a necessary one, another turn of the season with the blockade in effect and a half a million Indians would surely perish without access to the rich fishing fields. Sub-Lieutenant Bayeg checked and double checked the rigging, he inspected the sails closely, observed the crew, half of them fishermen and dockboys press-ganged into service semi-willingly, at least they would be guaranteed rations. Scouting with a looking-glass Bayeg spotted the Japanese Ships of the Line approaching from the ocean in the east. The enemy would be upon them in few hours. As he continued to observe the enemy he noted how strongly built the ships were, heavy laden with strong cannons, more on one side than the Retaliator had combined, so clearly built by some other nation than Japan. England was the first suspect, but having just recently been the victim of an unprovoked Japanese attack themselves it seemed unlikely that they would sell their enemies weapons. That left the Inca, or even the Russians, though with all likelyhood it would be Inca who supplied the ships, and China that supplied the Rifles. Agra, a thousand year old Indian colony captured by Japan, horrible atrocities committed, Indian children set to run and used as target practice by the arrogant and brutal Japanese soldiers who even took potshots from their ships at anyone moving in the blockaded cities. Then fell Davinia and another Indian city on Australia. Then finally Lahore, the southern pearl where the Indian fishermen lived a paradisical life, gathered the giant crabs and were famous for their hilarious theatre. The refugees said the Japanese were laughing as their soldiers set the theatre on fire and executed all the actors. Indian culture was to be eradicated from the colonies, their very names changed, the inhabitants terrorized into servitude.
Grinding his teeth at the thoughts that would not leave him alone, Sub-Lieutenant Bayeg shook off his rage and prepared for the fight. The hulking Japanese Ships of the Line would soon move into the Indian coast and attack. They had taken the bait. At first the Indian fleet of Privateers and Frigates seemed to be fleeing from the oncoming ships, but soon they slowed and began to turn. The Japanese fleet continued straight ahead, oblivious to the nature of the local coastline. Vingosh the Smuggler knew these waters better than anyone and Bayeg had great respect for the man's seaworthiness, though less so for his respect for authority. Yet it was the old smuggler's disrespect for the Indian Customs Office that had enabled them to build ships in a hidden cove, to find a good place to fight a sea-battle against an enemy with greater firepower. The Retaliator would have the most dangerous task, it had been Bayeg's suggestion, foolhardy his captain had called it, yet also daring and brilliant. Bayeg ordered the sails to unfurl and the Retaliator creaked as she began moving towards the enemy. Two vast hulks of cannons and death, filled with sharp-shooting well-trained Riflemen and blistering with cannons. The Retaliator closed to within cannon range, yet neither the two enemy ships could fire a broadside without turning. The Retaliator's speed allowed Bayeg to move the sails, shifting the ship sideways and let loose a volley. It was a pitiful sight seeing the 12 port guns spit as the enemy ships carried 42 cannons each, on both port and starboard side. The left-most enemy Ship of the Line took negligible damage and lumbered on. The Retaliator sailed towards the coast, the enemy followed. The Privateers were the fleet's best hope as the Frigates had little chance of standing up to the enemy's armada. Weaker, but faster, could guile and skill work win against brute force?
Young Admiral Bayeg: nemofirst.png
The difficult part came now. The near impossible had to be seen as ordinary. Bayeg shouted orders to the sailors who scrambled, furled, unfurled, shifted the direction several times in short order. The ship continued towards the coast then turned and sailed parallell to it. The closest Line-ship began to turn, it was within cannon range. Sub-Lieutenant Bayeg braced for impact as the enemy ship thundered destruction and rained hell upon them. Suddenly the Retaliator was a deathtrap of flying wooden splinters and hot metal smashing into everything. Bayeg looked up, he was unwounded, but many of the crew were not, limbs and corpses were laying spread around the deck, the captain gone, Vingosh the smuggler fallen on his back trying to dislodge a wooden splinter the size of an arm from his fat belly. Take the helm- he admonished and Bayeg ran shouting orders as he passed shellshocked men and boys. Within seconds he had taken the ship to continue course and shortly after he ordered full sails and the Retaliator sped away. The enemy then unfurled their own sails to pursue and as they gained speed Bayeg grinned one of his rare grins, not a smile, a cruel grimace of a leer. A few more meters now, just a few more, maybe five, it could be no more than two now, the sound tore through the ears of every sailing man within miles. The leading enemy ship had hit the reef. Smuggler's bane this coastline was called as it was so risky to sail here that only smugglers dared and even they often found a wet grave here. The floating giant had broken its keel and it would topple and sink within minutes, the other ship cut its speed and came to a near halt, merely drifting to avoid sailing into the unseen rocks below the surface. Bayeg watched as the IPS Logic appeared from behind a peninsula as planned and quickly moved towards the enemy ship from its rear. Taking up position behind it, the Logic began to batter away at the enemy. Realizing that it must risk moving or be destroyed, the remaining enemy ship unfurled its smallsails and slowly began to turn. The sound was not near as loud this time as it merely bumped into rocks without taking serious damage, but almost worse, the Line-Ship was stuck. Bayeg ordered his ship around and aligned it with the starboard side towards the front of the enemy. The 12 cannons begun their work, firing clusters of small sharp metal shards. After a half hour of shooting not a single Japanese sailor or soldier was not wounded.
The enemy surrendered and was bound together, neck to neck and led into the cargohold of the Retaliator, Bayeg ensured that the entire surviving crew of the Japanese ships were placed in his custody. He then sailed back to rejoin the fleet. When arriving he joined them as they sailed into the hidden cove to celebrate their victory. It was then that the captain of the Liberator came running. He pointed out the damage the Retaliator had taken and how low it was in the water, it would need considerable repairs, but far more disconcerting was the amount of water it had taken in. Bayeg concurred grimly, "-Yes, the entire cargo hold must be flooded by now, I should have come to port directly, but there was so much screaming for some time I could hardly think. It is quiet now though." The other captain stared at his face with horror.
The aftermath was bittersweet, Bayeg received a reprimande for the deaths of his prisoners, but as the High Administrator of the Indian-Pacific Ocean War Ministry declared, "Bayeg may be a gruesome man, but skilled officers are too few too and precious that we can afford to rid ourselves of them. He is a product of this war as the pacifists were a product of the golden age peace of India not long ago. As such must see his valiant command and unflinching servitude to the nation, for which he rightly deserves to be awarded." Bayeg was appointed Lieutenant Commander the same week.

wtf, triple post....
double post
The Sexxstanbul
Queen Irina spotted in Caribbean
Queen Irina was recently seen in Port Irina, getting off of a ship that was arriving from Zululand. The Queen was disguised as a commoner, and evaded our interviewers. The rumor-mill has it that she was overseeing the transition of power from a one Turkish-friendly dictator to another.
Apparently, the Sultan is now sending the Queen to do his dirty work. Her ship went from Zululand to the Caribbean to evade the mainstream press, but the Sexxstanbul has eyes and ears all over Turkey, including Accolyte lands.
Mad King Rumored to be Captured in Tenochtitlan
by Giro
Spider-hole where King Camaxtli was allegedly found - Courtesy of Accolyte Press
The Sexxstanbul has the scoop for our loyal readers. We have heard rumors from our Accolyte contacts that the Turkish Marines are on a rushed, haphazard mission to capture the so-called "Mad" King Camaxtli of Azteca. The Marines stormed the Capital but the King had already fled from his palace. Sources report that he was found hiding in an underground bunker, down what has been descibed as a "glorified spider-hole" by some of the Marines. We are still waiting on confirmation on his identity.
"The Marines recieved a last-minute change of orders" a Marine who chooses to remain anonymous told us. "We were on a mission to hold position near Havana, awaiting the go-ahead to invade America, when we recieved new orders, to storm the Aztec Capital and capture the Azteca King at all cost. I have no idea who the orders came from, as they were not signed. All I know, is that we lost some good men in the assault. The lead ship was carrying wounded, and they were ordered to spearhead the assault." The Marine hung his head in sorrow and finished "They would never refuse an order, but they were in no condition to be attacking. What a shame."
This is the latest scandal in the manuvers of the Navy since the senseless death of Suleiman the Magnificent. There was no reason to send the most prominent Naval Officer, indeed the most legendary Turkish warrior on a suicide mission. The Sultan has much explaining to do on this.
Furthermore, there have been other alleged "mistakes" made by the Navy recently. Orders have been delayed, lost, mysteriously changed without explanation. We at the Sexxstanbul are calling for an investigation into the activities of the Navy. Who is in charge now that Suleiman is gone? When will a new Chief Naval Advisor be chosen?
The people of Turkey demand answers, as the price tag for this War is ballooning out of control. Our entire GNP seems to go to pay debts to the Incan Capanes, and we are running an unsustainable defecit, all in the name of this war to "Liberate Tlaxcala."
This reporter believes that the recent invasion of the Azteca Capital is nothing more than a thinly veiled campaign by the Marines to avenge the death of Naval Advisor Suleiman. Eyewitnesses report that the Marines stormed the city screaming "Remember The Alamo!" Someone needs to step in and take control of the Marines before they set all of Azteca ablaze.
Santa Enya escapes
by Yeeh-Roh
Our government wastes time trying to depose the Azteca's insane leader, meanwhile, the hated Santa Enya still at large. It has not been forgotten by Turks everywhere, that Santa-Enya was the General who led assault that slaughtered Suleiman and his doomed platoon. Has our government lost sight of this? Why are we still in Azteca if not to bring Santa Enya to justice?
Where is Santa-Enya? Our sources say he was last seen fleeing most likely south of the border to Inca lands. Until Santa Enya is captured, the Sultan will have many critics here in Turkey, including this reporter. Suleiman must be avenged. It is the Turkish way. The Tlaxians are dead, we did too little, too late to save them. Capture Santa-Enya and then bring our boys home.

On the High Seas East of the Philippines
Admiral Bayeg watched the Inca warship approaching at top speed. Compared to the fine wooden sailing ships of India the enemy vessel was a technological terror. The length equalled several ships of the line, the shape slim and sharp like a sword. It pushed the waters aside as it forced its way through the waves rather than move with the winds and currents. It would be upon them soon.
He thought back to when he had been Captain Bayeg staring at the horizon where the Japanese had fortified Lahore, the ancient Indian colony. There was nothing he could do, he had not received his soldiers in time, he could not launch a successful assault on the lost colonies as they garrisoned by a dozen Japanese divisions, and now his government had just signed an agreement to end the war within a given time. Though Japan's fleet was reduced to rubble, their land forces were still formidable, yet this was precisely what the War Council and the Admiralty had wanted, to isolate Japan's many islands from each other, outmanouvering them and forcing the island nation to its knees through naval power. Yet now China had intervened to halt the war before India could bring its strength to the enemy. The war had ended and India had been defeated.
The loss of 40% of Indian territory, the destruction of ancient Indian colonies, the murder of millions and the sacrifices made at home to fleet the great Indian navy was unmeasurable. Yet the Indian people were prepared to fight on. Their losses and their sufferings had grown and swelled until the cup overflowed and many logic-minded pacifists seemed to have lost their minds to vengeance and bloodthirst. Bayeg felt this, as did the Indian Constitutional Congress.
The decision to mandate a peace treaty arose from two separate issues, the first to avoid the Chinese invasion which threatened to destroy India if it did not surrender, the second to reduce the ever-increasing bloodthirst growing in India itself. Captain Bayeg knew how the Bureaucrats in the Congress thought. If the warlust continued to grow, India would discard its ancient philosophy and the values of peace and logic would be lost to the world. Bayeg could see this, but did not care, his purpose was war, his desire revenge. If the war ended, the hot blood of India would cool, people would return to focus on their daily lives and in a generation, the peaceful cultural ways of India could be restored. Yet as the war raged every day Indians became more determined to see victory through, so when even former proponents of peace suggested that India stand up to China as well, the Congress acted.
The Congress succeeded, the peace came as a shock to the Indian people, but realizing that little could be done, most Indians sank into despair rather than anger. China, Inca and Japan had humiliated and smashed the peaceful Indians and none had spoken out against the injustice. Indians began to realise how puny and worthless their lives were in the eyes of the world. When the attack came the people demanded a peaceful solution, but Japan would not negotiate, they acted only with brutal aggression. It was realized that peace must come through justice, and justice from a conscience-less enemy must come through strength. India developed and built a naval force in record time. They challenged and destroyed the Japanese navy supplied by England and Inca. Victory was at hand, staunchness and cold logic would prevail. Then China intervened.

With victory so close, then suddenly removed, India was now a lost nation. The world had always been racist against Indians and mocked their ideals of peace, but as long as life was good, India could ignore the scorn of the outside world. Now life in India had become misery. Millions were dead, life would be unbearable. It all seemed empty and meaningless. If millions of Indians could be murdered with impunity, what future did its people have?
The Indian Constitutional Congress now faced a severe threat, the complete collapse of India as a nation. Campaigns celebrating Indian values and successes were launched to revive the Indian spirit, yet they could little remedy a people who had lost faith its own culture, in its own value. The enourmous suffering and sacrifice made a defeat unthinkable, Indians believed that through strength of will they could accomplish anything. The proof of the opposite had made Indians realise that they were worthless. India had never had much of anything, but their determination had created a great nation. Now they had lost it. Congress did what it could to remedy the apathy, and perhaps it would have worked if not for a fatal mistake.
The Indian fleet was stuck in Japanese waters and the current Admiral, Vash, was a independent-willed man, a good choice for a daring expedition into enemy waters, but a liability in the current circumstances. As such the Congress requested the name of the captain in the fleet who was most likely to adhere to the chain of command, despite the order. The Pacific War Council misjudged the purpose of their request and sent over one name; Captain Bayeg, fierce, highly trained, fearless, follows orders unquestioningly with fanatical zeal. The Congress sent word to Admiral Vash;
Captain Bayeg entered the Admiral's cabin to find those orders on the Admiral's bloodstained desk. Former Admiral Vash had shot himself. Admiral Bayeg read the orders then sat down and felt his anger. The suffering, the sorrow, the glory the shame, the killing and dying had all been in vain. Realizing that his life had no purpose, Admiral Bayeg was tempted to end his life as Vash had. Then his logical training stepped in. He pushed away the corpse, which fell on the carpeted floor with a dull thump, sat on the soiled chair, pulled out a piece of paper and began to write:Originally Posted by The Indian Constitutional Congress
Admiral Bayeg made several copies and sent the letters to the Captains he trusted the most. He titled the envelopes with the language of military philosophy Neanderish; Unsere Kampf.
The Admiral snapped out of his reminiscence then saw the Incan Destroyer almost within range, he ordered Captain Raj to engage it as the rest of the fleet sailed on. Captain Raj died a hero's death.

The captain onboard the Inca destroyer was having a bad day. There had been a rather raucous birthday party the day before, and he wasn't quite up to maneuvering a ship. Last he had heard, there were some old Indian frigates in the waters, and he had duly charted a course around them rather than attack them, as he had been ordered. Orders were to go to the other side of them, to show them that the Capaco leadership was sincere in wanting peace. The heavy rain and thunder were not helping his headache.
Somewhere behind him a mumbled voice was saying something about a sonar contact, but no visual contact was possible. It is hard to explain in English, but "sonar contact" in Incas sounds a lot like "your head looks like a llama's *******". The captain, still upset over the course of the previous evening's card game, turned around and immediately punched the sonar officer in the face, and was then standing over him and giving him a beating he 'deserved', repeatedly shouting "queens over aces, queens over aces, **** you, Paco!"
Just as his final blow landed on Paco's poor face, the entire world seemed to shudder with the impact. Indeed, the ship seemed nearly to have been knocked off the water for a moment, and horrid crash resounded through the metal room. The captain stepped back, temporarily believing it was his blow that did it, and marveling at his own power, a sensation heightened by the looks of fear and surprise among the rest of the crew's faces.
Slowly, though, it dawned on the captain that Paco hadn't been insulting his head, and in fact he did not now suddenly possess superpower punches. "Please let it just have been a fishing boat," the captain thought to himself as crewmen rushed out onto the deck below. The small fleet stopped in the water, now in the middle of the Indian navy.
"Well, it is kind of hard to see those little old antique ships, you know..." he mentioned to his first officer, as he began to write his message to PacCom back in Capaco.
Justice or Revenge ...?
Not a whisper was heard aboard The '1 of 3', so named because unlike other Warships of her design, she had been purchased as a 'trio' with a grant from Vladimir Dzudzenko, a wealthy investor from Moldavia. She was the first to be delivered and she was both terrible and beautiful, a marvel to behold. Her bow was sharper than any Turkish sailor had ever seen, and her engine sounded of a painful wailing followed by a low rumbling , akin to the sound of a short whale-song, followed by distant thunder.
Captain Akarlii was in Command, and he was the first to open the sealed orders:
General Santa-Enya located in Teotihua Canal... Protected by Mounted Regiments as well as Artillery units... Capture alive... By Any Means Necessary.
The Marines, aboard Galleons, proceeded as ordered. Their mood was solemn. All aboard knew the mission, and words were surperfluous. Every man knew his duty. As one Marine passed another they would simply nod to each other, quietly murmuring "Remember the Alamo", to which the other would reply in kind "Remember the Alamo."
By the time the Marines reached the Canal-port of Teotihua, men were shouting it to each other in place of normal communitcation. Men in line for Chow would say "Remember the Alamo" to the cook and point, and the cook would know exactly what to serve. "Remember the Alamo" was all anyone said...
A Gunner wanting more ordinates loaded would simply shout "Remember the Alamo!" to an Armoury Officer who would call out "Remember the Alamo!" to a Gunner's mate, who would then load the Deck-Guns. And call they did, as the 1 of 3 let loose on the port of Teotihua with their guns.
When the time to storm the Canal finally came, the Marines were so frenzied, that captain Akarlii worried that they would create another scandal. He was concerned that there would be a trap waiting for them at the Canal, as by now, Santa-Enya would have to be aware they were coming. If they were quick, they could arm the defenders of Santa Enya with Rifles and other advanced weaponry. This strike needed to be swift, bold, and precise. But how could he make it so? Landing next to the canal would expose his men to bombardment and heavy casualties. The Captain had much to consider.
When the moment came, he took matters into his own hands. Mounting a horse assigned to the Cossack Marine Corps, the Captain turned towards the beach, and with his back to the men, he lifted his Rifle and screamed "Remember the Alamo!" to which the men responded with a thunderous "Remember the AlamoOooo!, in unison. Again the Captain lifted his Rifle into the air and called out "Remember the Alamo!" and again the Marines responded in kind. A third time the Captain chanted, and the Marines answered as before...
Then, the Captain looked over his right shoulder, a barely perceptible, solitary tear streaming down his cheek, and he said barely above a whisper...
"For... Suleiman..."
Then he silently charged down the gangplank in his horse into a hail of Azteca Gunfire. This was too much for the Marines, and they followed on their horses and on foot in a frenzy of indescribable Valor. Charging into the hail of bullets and Smoke, the First wave of Marines all but smashed the Azteca defenders, and the remaining men were so terrified at the ferocity of the first wave that they began laying down their guns as the second wave advanced.
Once again, Suleiman's Marines were victorious, although brave Captain Akarlii had been lost along with most of the bravest Mounted Marines that were able to keep up with his charge... but now the victors closed in on Santa-Enya's compound, to arrest the villain at long last... Turkey's heros would not die in vain...

Mexico Emerges as a New Player on the International Stage - Mexico City Times
The Leftsea Gulf... Off the Coast of Havana...
Somehow, from his brig cell in the belly of a Turkish ship, Camaxtli the Madman had overheard that Turkey had offered peace to Azteca. In response, the insane former King wrote a "response" as if he had any authority left, which as a prisoner, he did not.
The acting Captain of The 1 of 3 went to Camaxtli's cell in the brig, holding Camaxtli's recently written letter to Turkey, demanding thousands in Gold and for Turkey to reconquer the cities Azteca gave away, in order to restore them to Azteca.
The officers all had a good laugh at these inane rantings, so then it was time to break the news to Camaxtli himself. The acting Captain said ... "Well Camaxtli, since you're in the brig of a Marine Destroyer next to your co-hort Santa-Enya, en-route to a Turkish Prison to most likely be executed for War crimes, you're not in any position to make any demands. I'm sure the Sultan will wait to hear from whoever has taken your place since we captured you in Tenochtitlan."
The Captain laughed in Camaxtli's face, crumples up his letter into a ball and throws it through to cell bars, hitting Santa-Enya in the head with it.
"Oh and we have a saying here in the Turkish Navy" the officer shouts over his shoulder as he walks up the stairs..."it goes like this."
"Remember the Alamo..." the Captain said with a smirk... And with that, he shut the door behind him, enveloping the two pitiful prisoners in darkness.
When the acting Captian got back above decks another officer approched him with a news clipping:"I wonder if 'full restoration ... of Azteca' includes Tlaxcala?" the acting Captain asked...Still Camaxtli is being his old self, and refuses to have any peace without full restoration and full economical recovery of Azteca ....
"I doubt it" the officer said, "It probably just means for Turkey to give cities back but nobody else"
"Or it means what ever President Kennedy says it means" the acting Captain replied quickly
The two men laughed heartily, watching as the Marines prepared for the invasion of Havana...

Mexico Emerges as a New Player on the International Stage - Mexico City Times
"Sire, the Ottomans still think they have captured, you, the mighty Camaxtli.."
"Yes, I knew this body double would be a good idea"
We still strive for full restoration and full economical recovery of Azteca .... and we want to bring our case before the International Justice Bureau.
We demand justice, and we declare the Ottomans and Russians agressors and guilty of the worst possible war crimes..
Do you mean the Court for International Justice? You need to ratify it first... And so does Turkey, although we can still hear the case, it just won't have any teeth.
Incaconaco Terms and Trade Prices, 3 January 1824
The IFB announces its international trade policies for arms sales and exports for the new year.
Arms exports are to be divided into 2 categories: current, and cutting-edge. Each category has different pricing and export restrictions (see table 1). Each year has a quota of maximum exports. If a nation wishes to receive exports beyond this quota, "priority pricing" will be put into effect for all production in excess of the quota output, up to whatever limit Incaconaco decides upon. Priority pricing is equal to:
{([set price] - 100%) * 3 + 100%}
So that priority pricing for something usually costing 150% will cost 250%.
Discounts will be made for bulk orders:
1500G = 5%
2000G = 7.5%
2500G = 10%
3000G = 12.5%
There is a further 10% discount for all countries in good standing with the CIJ.
Category1 countries include the following:
Rus, Ottoman Empire, England
Category2 countries include the following:
Native America, Azteca, America, Japan, Arabia, Israel, Mali
Category3 countries include the following:
Neandor, France, Vikings, Mongolia
The following countries are restricted from receiving direct exports:
China, Zulu, India

Arabia is interested to increase her homeland security and wants to be the first to make a grand deal with the IFB.
Hereby we are ordering:
8 units of Machineguns and
8 units of canon divison.
We are ready to make some of the payment in advance and the rest upon delivery. We are a bit disappointed that we are regarded as a second category but at least we can count on the 10% discount being the member of the CJT.
We will calculate the exact amount of gold later, but otherwise we accept your pricing. We hope that because of the high demand the Incan industries would increase its capacity to fullfill these contracts as soon as possible.

The Daily Turkey
Sultan's Forces Capture both Mad-King Camaxtli and General Santa-Enya
In a daring raid led by the brave Captain Akarlii, the Turkish Marines have struck again. In a brief flash of time, Akarlii's raiders were able to capture the Azteca Capital, along with their insane ruler. Soon after, the Marines stormed Teotihua Canal and captured the hated villain, Santa-Enya. Our sources report that the Marines have moved on to Havana, following a refusal of the Americans to rebuff the Southern "rebels", and extract themselves from the conflict. The capture of Havana will cut off the rogue Azteca army. Obviously, what is going on in Texcoco is more cooperation between Mad-Camaxtli and his collaborator, President Kennedy. Camaxtli disguised his Southern Army to save it from the Russians, but Turkey is not fooled.
Camaxtli's Identity Verified by top Handwriting Experts
Comparisons of the handwriting of the prisoner with earlier samples of King Camaxtli's writing leave no doubt that the Marines have indeed captured the infamous Azteca dictator. He is currently en-route to the Queen's Port, where he will be transferred to a vessel, along with Santa Enya, to be taken to "Black Rock" prison to stand trial.
We will keep you informed as this story develops...

in haste my world leaders and friends.
in an effort to maintain world stability and balance Neandor is sendinf cavalry to help India.
Neandor supports Russian aggression against China to secure cities for Mongolia, India and Japan.
Neandor will NOT take advantage of this situation and will remain at peace for as long as you request absolute peace.
King Veneta.,
The question of whether modern humans and Neanderthals mated when they encountered each other 40,000 years ago is highly controversial.
[Public notice to the Arabs]
EDIT: We have had to lower our output for the time being. We were overoptimistic, we think, in our projections. Please see the bottom for new quota limits. We have also lowered the total price of the Arabic trade based on new figures for cannons. See bolded.
We too regret that Arabia is not a Cat1 country, but attaining such a distinction requires a long period of diplomatic, economic, and defensive integration that Arabia has not yet obtained. Such an export deal will surely push Arabia in that direction, but there is much further integration needed first to enter the "Cat1" export zone.
We believe machine-guns to be worth 187H and cannons to be 180 (150) H. If these values are incorrect, we will correct as necessary. Both are CT arms, and Arabia being a Cat2 country, the markup will be 150% for all arms. The total H desired is 2936 [2696], or 4404 [4044] G for the price. This will be discounted 12.5% for a large bulk order, plus 10% for Arabia being in the CIJ, for a total 22.5% discount off of 4404 [4044]. The final price will be 3854 [3539] G, at a 31.25% markup. This will take 15T [18T] at 200 [150] HPT. Presently, we have only 7 [4]T available at that production rate, then there will be a long gap of approximately 12T afterward before we can finish production in another 8[14]T, so the total order will take 27[33]T to complete, plus delivery time, which we expect to be on the order of 6T.
If priority delivery is desired, the cost for all priority production will be 193.75%. We are unsure of our ability to produce priority output, but we expect a further 50HPT could be made available presently, although this will also dip to 0 in a few turns. We wish we could increase our output, but we have domestic needs as well, and infrastructure projects that need to be completed as well, which will improve our ability to produce advanced weaponry, plus we have some defensive units we need to produce for our own cities for now.
Arabia will have 8/10 for siege weaponry and 8/10 for defensive weaponry for this era upon completion.
There are many payment options, although Incaconaco always prefers a 10T or single-payment plan. As the order will be split over two time periods, two 10T payment plans would also be possible (1927[2022]G (193[203]GPT) beginning now, 1927G [2022] (193[203]GPT) beginning in 1862).
In addition, we will require an NAP between Arabia and Incaconaco for 50T, plus 25T NAPs between Arabia and the Ottoman Empire and Rus, all starting upon finalization of contract. We normally require NAPs with neighboring Cat1 countries for any arms sales for appropriate lengths of time.

[A public notice]
The government of Incaconaco considers China a "rogue state" now. The Indian atrocities were a horrid affair, and in their wake the age-old government of China has collapsed. The lack of public resources led to a renewed plague outbreak that, due to catastrophic sanitary and living conditions, has appeared to have infected a very large percentage of the population, including the governing councils. The nation is to be considered highly dangerous, unpredictable, and at a break with its long-standing historic ties. Chinese armies and civilians should be treated with a high level of inspection and anxiety, for they likely carry the plague with them. We have contact with many pockets of resistance and non-infection within Chinese territory, but these are beset on all sides by a populace gone mad, and an army on a path of such fiery destruction that it must be stopped as quickly as possible.
Incaconaco approves of a joint international effort to defeat this Chinese menace and to take over Chinese lands for transfer into the caring colonial control of her neighbors India, Japan, and Mongolia. If a large enough force can be mustered, Incaconaco will assist with its own air and naval forces.
Official communique by ITAR-TASS agency:
"According to our espionage services, we have to agree with regret that the former wise Chinese Emperor is no longer in charge in China and the new Chinese leadership is a bunch of mindless radicals obsessed with imperialistic expansion and mindless destruction. Therefore The Russian Communist party will do what it takes if China is proclaimed violator of the international laws by the CIJ. Krasnaia Armia will take the task of sustaining the ongoing aggression against India by the Chinese.
End of the communique."
In a short interview for Gazeta Pravda, Comrade Catherine said:
"Despite our long and hard history with Neandor, I welcome the idea that when it is needed for the good of the world, we can still work in the same direction. This I am sure will lead to a much safer world."
Commander Foo-Shu of China's legendary fortress at Guangzhou felt safe behind his walls. His soldiers were better equipped, better trained, superiorily positioned, they had every tactical advantage militarily imaginable. Except numbers. The Indian army could not be seen in the dark of night, but he knew they were there, the airships had spotted them marching towards the city limits during the day, hundreds of thousands. He was somewhat concerned, but his men were good soldiers, disciplined, professional and the defences of Guangzhou were created for this very purpose. The Indians would have to batter down the outer perimeter first, that would take weeks, by then reinforcements would have arrived, securing the city. An assault would be impossible, even hundreds of thousands would die crossing the river, climbing the ramparts and finally attempting to seize the bunkers, all while being sprayed with automated weaponfire in crossfire. The commander considered himself a sharp military mind. He would succeed in defending the city and its people. As he took his evening meal he felt relieved, the Chinese army had advanced unhindered into Calicut and now marched on the capital Delhi. The war would be over and India would fall, vengeance would be served. Commander Foo-Shu begun eating with a smile thinking of the disappointment the Indians must feel when they must realize that they could not hope to take Guangzhou, they had never had any hope of taking Guangzhou he mused. Commander Foo-Shu stared out at the city from his castle and saw the dark river separating Guangzhou from the Indian army. As he looked over another logistics list his eye exploded and his face collapsed forward into the soup. Special agent Jasmin dropped her rifle and moved into the city for part 2 of the plan.
Dawn broke and so did Sergeant Mohandas. He was among the 8th division ordered across the river to the city of Guangzhou, a city founded by China for the sole purpose of keeping India weak. Yet through hatred and abuse, the peaceful Indians had been forged into men of iron. Though not even iron will could suppress the horrors of the current slaugther. As the Indians begun their night-time cannon shelling of the enemy fortification their oldfashioned cannons thundered in stubborn repetition despite the hails of Machine gun bullets and sniper fire. The range of a Chinese Ma-zim gun was equal to that of the primitive Indian cannon and one after another the cannon crews were massacred as they rolled their heavy bronze guns within range, fired, reloaded and too many times fell silent after suffering a rain of shredding gunfire. Yet another crew would pick up where the former left off, and as they fired the Riflemen charged across the river. They met a fiercely determined enemy, the Chinese fought for their lives and the life of every man in the city. Yet the thousands upon thousands of Indians that charged the Machine guns to their deaths would not relent. They kept coming and coming and coming. Line after line of young men exploding into sprays of red as the machine guns and automated rifles struck them. Yet they would keep coming, screaming madmen determined to die one after another by the tens, by the hundreds, by the thousands.
As Mohandas begun his run up the ramparts he noticed that the city was alight, the sun rising from the east cast it in a glorious red shine. Guangzhou was built for this very purpose, to break an army of Indians so that they would forever be kept out of the glorious east. Yet hot iron does not break and there was nothing cool about the Indians attacking in the night. The war cries rung out from midnight to dawn, countless screaming Indians. Their shouts shortened by the smattering of automatic weapons. Yet as he ascended he realized that it was not the sunrise he was seeing, it was the city burning. He was among the first to breach the perimeter, a hill of dead Indians behind him proved so, how could the city be burning? As another man died by a Chinese bullet next to him, Mohandas sprung down into the trench and fired his rifle at the Machine Gun crew. His brothers in arms followed and the gun was destroyed, its crew ended with sharp bayonet stabs. Having reached the high point of the perimeter Mohandas realized what was going on, the city was rioting. Panic had spread among the populace and now the defenders were defeated. Tears rolled from his eyes as he saw the dream of millions of Indians come true. Guangzhou had fallen, Ganghes was Indian.
Public Notice:
The Sultan has announced that Turkey will cooperate fully with the Neandor efforts to give assistance to India against anarchist China. Neandor troops are welcome to cross Turkey for the purpose of joining the Indian cause. We wish India a speedy resolution to this conflict. We further encourage all nations to refrain from engaging in trade with an anarchist state like China. Nations like China and Azteca that are leaderless should be forced to stabilize before they are allowed to conduct trade or diplomacy on the world stage. All nations should cancel any trade deals they have with these nations at once.
Taner, High Messenger, on behalf of the Sultan
