We do apologize to the American State. In our time of crisis, many of the Chinese people believed that America was involved in the funding of terrorist activities due to your unique economy. Its clear that the American Government's position is not one that is supportive of terrorism, however China is concerned with some of your stances, which ultimately led to these suspitions.
To China these terrorist attacks are evil and outright acts of war. America's neutral stances and diplomatic tones with the Russian Communists gave the impression of an America that supports a terrorist state.
Although a mere policy of containment cannot bring an end to global terrorism, we encourage America to cut all ties with the Russian Communist terrorists. Public opinion within China currently does not favor America, but swift action on the part of America's leader to make sure it is on the side of right could change the view of the people.

While the Liberal Party of Spain held a great deal of power, wealth, and ultimately legitemacy (they were the founders of the Spanish Republic) the tenor of international politics led many Spaniards (particularly the youth) to embrace the ideas of the Falange. The Falange was an amalgam of Nationalist, Socialist, and Traditionalist forces that charged the Spanish people with their firebrand speeches, vast parades, and show of military force (often their rallies would be accompanied by the local militia, marching in goose-step fashion). The death of Prince Fernando Diaz de Castilla y Aragon III marked the end of the imperial family as Spain knew it; there were a few remaining relatives (all directly lineated from Gaspar Guzman de Olivares) but in general any ties to the original imperial line were now severed. This gave the Falange, and particularly their charismatic young leader Francisco Franco, the chance to take full control of the party from the Traditionalists who urged Prime Minister Prim y Prats to reinstall the old Spanish monarchy. Franco realized his time had come, and he organized the march on Madrid...
Thousands upon thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of Madrid in support of their new party. The Falange had taken steps in recent months to counter Prim's "Grand Coalition" with one of their own; one based on Socialism, Catholicism, and the return of Spain to its "Golden Era." This event was even more volatile considering the backdroup of international tension and mistrust - the tension between the Chinese and Russians mounted to a fevered pitch and the United Nations seemed unwilling to do anything. For their part, the Liberal government of Spain was unable to do much to help the UN, an organization they idealogically supported completely. Prime Minister Prim y Prats' policy of appeasing his opponents in Parliament only gave more power to the Falange as Franco took the stage...
[i]Brave and mighty Spaniards! Today I call upon you to save your country from the vile oppression of the Marxists and their evil institution, the "so-called" United Nations. Our Prime Minister, the once-mighty General Juan Prim y Prats has no clue how to handle the world's tension, and the obvious Marxist insurrection. He has blindly supported the United Nations, a body that is seemingly under full control of Indian authorities, and seems to be indirectly supporting horrible attacks against the people and territory of our great allies the Chinese. I urge all Spaniards, and people of Terra, to force the United Nations to take some responsibility for their lack of action, by any means necessary! Our Prime Minister says he will send our Foreign Minister, the elderly and inexperienced Francisco Serrano y Dominguez to Delhi to help resolve this issue. But in my mind, noble Spaniards, this is nothing but a technicality, there will be no Security Council meeting, there doesn't have to be. Gandhi and his Marxist buddies know exactly what they are doing, but the real question should be why? Why the attacks against the Chinese? They have focused their attention on oil, coal, and gold. They clearly have a strategic end in mind, if this was politically motivated where are the terrorist leaders that take responsibility? Why is nobody being apprehended? Why is a nation as rich and powerful as India powerless to do anything about it? I'll tell you why Spain, because they don't want to. This is part of their plan, and if they believe they can do this to OUR ally, our brothers in China without their comeuppance they are sorely mistaken. Take to the polls, oust this ineffective government, they have lost their way! Viva España! Viva la Falange Española!
The crowd burst into applause, and began to salute Franco. This was a terrible sign for the Prime Minister; he realized that something was amiss in the United Nations, but he had no proof and he could do nothing but hope that the wheels would turn until justice was done. It was difficult in such a situation to explain to the Spanish people what was going on, even he didn't know. He looked over the masses in Madrid from his offices and shook his head, "look at them!" he thought to himself "they are so enthralled, so prepared to fight for this man Franco, and I am trying to make peace, I am trying to fix this problem! Why can't Gandhi just do his fu-", just then Jose Diaz entered the room.
On June 19th, 1620 a member of the Falange named Angel Esparza fired a shot into the head of Traditionalist leader Miguel Primo de Rivera, the de facto leader of the Falange coalition in Parliament. Thus making Francisco Franco y Bahamonde the official head of the coalition. The assassination of the royalist changed the entire look of the Falange party, which went from a simple coalition group to a proper political force. Many Spaniards who were uneasy about Primo de Rivera's idea to bring back the imperial family, the monarchy, and the Catholic church had now flocked to the Falange under Franco. With the Liberal party losing favor (due to their inability to solve the Chinese-Russian issue peacefully), and the Falange gaining increasing popularity it was quite obvious that if Prim y Prats didn't move quickly the Liberals would lose control and Spain would fall under the sway of a militant and radical group.
Prime Minister Prim y Prats called an emergency meeting of the Liberal Party to be held in the Kremlin, the purpose of the meeting would be to discuss plans for the next election and to see whether or not they can assuage the Chinese-Russian tension without war. Unfortunately for them history was not in their favor...
