Big Huge War Thread: Part VI

[Mao]

OOC: Scott, am I really that nervous? Geez...I gotta lighten up then

Polaris, I don't have to get nervous, I've had F-15s/F-16s in production since almost the beginning of this thread from Taiwan and have M1K1 (the Korean designation for the M1A2) in production for a while too, so I'd outnumber you on those tanks. And our borders are demilitarized anyway right?

IC:

The Chinese Empire invites SAK delegates to meet in Beijing to discuss plans for industrializing the region. This is another step towards making SAK into a first-world power.

Headlines in Der Spiegel:

German forces seize remainder of Sweden, monarchy restored:
After the last areas of Swedish land were brought under German control, the German government kept its promise to restore the Swedish monarchy. In Stockholm, the Swedish king was restored to the throne and his family once again took up residence in the Royal Palace. For the time being, Sweden is to remain a German military protectorate, though the Germans will not interfere in the Swedish government. (OOC: This is not propaganda, it is what I planned to do to Sweden all along.) The Kaiser continues to be seen in public with Victoria, the Swedish crown princess. Rumors of a possible royal marriage have been denied by the office of the Reichschancellor. The Swedish monarchy has always been popular among the Swedish people. The previously existing three way struggle in Sweden of Swedes against both German and Scandinavian Socialists has ended. The pro-socialists and their partisan supporters have fled to northern Norway to escape the Germans and the monarchists. With the restoration of Swedish independence, partisan fighting in Sweden has ended.

Germans conclude full bilateral alliance with Soviet Russia in diplomatic coup:
In a shocking development, the German Foreign Office announced that it has concluded a full bilateral alliance with Soviet Russia. This action assures both sides that there will be no future conflict between Russia and Germany, and it guarantees a bright future of cooperation and joint operations.

-Baltic and Polish riots end without bloodshed as Scandinavian war is all but over.
-Partisan strongpoints remain in Northern Norway.
-German northward advance has halted after taking Tromso.
-Bergen falls after extended siege.
-General Staff withdraws Panzer divisions and most fighter and bomber squadrons from Scandinavia, one reserve panzer division remains.
-Military to remain mobilized, in case situation changes in Scandinavia.
-Several special anti-partisan units are being deployed to Norway to crush fierce resistance in the Northern mountains.
-Svalbard resistance ends.
-Fuel rationing continues, despite growing fuel surplus.
-German government to create large fuel stockpiles.
-Last Scandinavian fleet units seized at Tromso.

Stuff that would not appear in a newspaper (and that you do not know about):
-Six German modified and advanced Los-Angeles-class attack submarines continue to their unknown destinations.
-German technicians and engineers sent to help China and the CW with Seawolf program.
-German diplomats sent to London.
-German forces remain mobilized, though large and strangely erratic rail traffic have disguised troop movements.

Dispatches from the Foreign Office:
To Chile:
Thank you for your actions allowing us to sail past Cape Horn.
To Brazil:
A pleasure doing business with you, as always. Please buy again soon.
To Britain:
We await confirmation of our offer.
To Russia:
We are interested in paying to have several of your new submarines built for us. We also are interested in buying several Oscar submarines as well.

[Hans2]

To: SAK

We would be able to sell you 25 Arietes per month for 2 million Euro's a peice.

[General_BT]

A deal has been reached with Italy, whereby Italy will produce 500 Arietes for the SAK over the next six months, at $2 million per tank.

The SAK will be paying for these vehicles over the next two years. This purchase will allow the SAK to retire some if its oldest tanks, placing them in reserve.

To: China

The SAK would be delighted to discuss with our Chinese Allies how to improve the working and living conditions of both our peoples via industrialization.

[Djugashvili]

To: Neo-Soviet Russia
We'd be willing to pay $10 billion for 1000 T-80 MBTs. We believe you said they would be ready for shipment by August? Please confirm this.

To: CW
About that deal I proposed for 300 M60s and 50 F14s...???
_____________
Iraniaq quietly builds it's interior up to modern standards. Almost extreme isolationism is taken up with nations other than her allies, and it seems to be doing Iraniaq good. The nation is growing stronger and more stable each passing day...

OOC: I'll be sure to post some interesting plans soon

CW News April 1-15 2001

Peace In Quebec...France Backs Down After 2 Week Offensive...Losses Considerably Heavier Than Ontario Campaign

Quebec to be occupied by CW and UDSA...CW Gets Montreal and all points west...UDSA gets Quebec city and east coast.

French withdrawing along with estimated 1 million Quebecois Loyalists...to settle in Algeria

CW Atlantic Fleet damaged in high seas combat...French forces hit equally as hard...

CW Caribbean Fleet to set sail for China for wargames...to join CW China Seas Squadron...ground units faring well against chinese forces in wargames...scores are equal for both nations...evenly matched allies!!

CW Vanguard Base in Iraniraq under construction...city also springing up near base...prefabricated factories en route to site...construction to be completed in summer

CW to build base in Northern Turkey on the Black Sea Coast...Air Force, Army and Navy to be stationed out of huge facility...underwater sub pens as well...construction to begin in May.

CW Military Stands Down...Units regroup and relax and prepare for summer wargames.

To UK: We agree to your proposal for the sale of the said aircraft...we also agree to hop onto the project and we offer an entire wing of both the Oak Ridge Research Facility and the under construction Kitty Hawk Space Complex for the research. This should speed things up tremendously and allow us to centralize our efforts to a few locations!! The payment for the aircraft is a paltry 5 billion dollars. We eagerly await new developments in our researches!!

To FrancoSpain: We officially announce the end of hostilities betweenour noble nation and your colony of Quebec. As the case with the British, our quarrel was with the rulers of Quebec not with her nor your people. Although we are occupying Quebec, we do guarantee the reconstruction of her cities before our troops' housing and her transportation system before our military bases. She is in good hands now...American hands...although we arent the USA anymore, we still consider everyone on this continent American.

To CRME: We accept the offer and the goods are on the way...do we have permission to begin building the base?

To Argentina and Chile: Again we urge you to stand down from your blockade and never again presume to dictate to the lords of the earth again...we would rather smash through your blockade with all guns blazing than pay you a red penny!! I am positive most of the bigger nations of the Earth agree with me on this!!

To China: Our Caribbean Fleet is enroute!! They should arrive on May 1!!

To UDSA: We are proud to present you with the city of Quebec, the southern bank of the St. Lawrence, and the upper east coast of Quebec as a gift to the lasting peace of our alliance!!

To CTA: WE understand your stance on the magnetic trains of yours...we are currently researching them at our Oak Ridge Facility but unfortunately we are at least a year behind you...also in lieu of recent Oil Embargo threats and seeing the difficulty in converting to Hydrogen Fuel, would you be willing to join a research effort between the two of us at the aforementioned facility? Currently our fuel source is about 8% Alcohol and about 12% of the military is Alcohol burning, but that is the maximum we are able to harvest and refine at this time...Hydrogen could cut out the Oil Equation and also give us a cheap, easy and renewable fuel source!! Please consider and respond!!

NOTE: The Big Red Dot in the North is the USSR Army. It is heavily fortified in the mountains, howitzers, mortars, bazookas, anti tank guns and some tanks.
The Dots in Sweden are just small groups of soldiers that are regrouping into Norway.
The Blue line is the Russian and USSR Front in Finland.

OOC:No Gscott our losses in the Atlantic were not equal and I am withdrawing approximately 7 million to Algeria. It will take a while

[Jools]

Scott: I won't mess with the strikes and protests in your OCCUPIED land ( ) anymore, though I wish you, just to reflect reality, would continue them and at least try to pretend they cause you trouble
And I don't think you can make Sweden open, as you told me. There is a war there, and as long as coug and I are fighting, you are just an invader (evil, evil, evil invader).

[Jools]

..............................................
A lonely Jeep rode into the silent steets of Stockholm. The city, now heavily guarded by German Armor, had become a sign that the Kaiser would not be underestimated no more. German power now extended it's arm all over the world and now even Scandinavia.
The Jeep stopped right infront of the former palace, now the occupants headquarters. Four caped figures and a man in a business suit walked in.
They were greeted with a loud 'Halt'.
"We are emisaries, here as planned before"
"Follow me". The five strangers followed the muscular soldier into a small room, where a meeting was scheduled.
"You are to leave your guns outside"
"We shall do no such thing, though we can bring you some shrubbery"
"Pardon?"
"Oh nothing, hehehe, stupid me"
"Ah... well, ahem. How many of you are there?" he asked as the man in the business suit sat down in a chair.
"A lot, no doubt a vast majority will leave but the Poles will keep on fighting, stubborn as they are."
"What is the reason for your treachery?"
"We feel, that fighting for the USSR for free isn't worth it. We were planning to make some profit out of it."
"What do you have for us, something of value perhaps..."
"The designs for the Harpoons and the AFAC-1 Designs. We will give you no more, we will not betray any other secrets nor the positions of the other Lisovites. We want out. We would be glad if you 'employed us' to fight against the eastern menace."
"Well... Scott, continue...

---------------------------------------------
Ferocious fighting was reported near Bergen, where Scandinavian and Polish freedom fighters assualted numerous surrounding bunkers and fortifications. Just when they were getting the upper hand, they mysteriously withdrew.
This was most definately the most succesful and daring, of hundreds that happen daily, hit and fade assualts the guerillas have performed on the Germans. No doubt this war, is going to be a long one.

EDIT: Damn, mispelled Scandinavian in the banner thingy

Finnish City of Kemi still holding out
The horrific sound of Russian tanks rolling into the city square could be heard by Kemi citizens. Eye witnesses report that they heard a long series of rocket launches from the woods, that surround the city and roads. Two hours later Lisovites, with their well known Capes with a black leaf drawn on them entered the town and urged everyone to help them set up booby traps, barricades and anti airplane shelters, while they set up the heavy equipment.
We all know the city won't hold out for long. Yet the surprising ability of the Lisovites to work, fight and win from concealment, in SUCH small numbers has astounded everyone (especially Germans and Russians) who shows any interest in this war.

India Reaches Economic Goal

Greater India rejoyced as the Treasury and Economic Office announced the latest in Greater Indian treasury. It is now a great economic power, and is building various schools, hospitals, roads, railroads, all close to built.
Nations of the world could now call Greater India a first-world nation. Just a little more work is needed to fulfill Bharat's dream.

Latest Leopard II Productions
In addition to 2,000, Greater India is producing another 3,000 for an unknown date.

Latest Information on New MBT
The project has switched from an MBT to an all-role fighter, soon to be announced are its specs. The MBT project is on hold.

[PolarisGL]

Citizens Salute Greater India!

National Flag of Greater Communist India


Bharat - President of the Greater Communist India

[BasV]

Polaris: You already produced 2000 Leopard II's??? No way, you acquired production rights even later than I did, while I just started production at a rate of 70 MBT's a month. First, you should let your factories retool, and then you should start production at a somewhat realistic rate. And India is still very, very far from a first world power...

More news from Chad

Greater Arabian troops are still advancing westwards, with only marginal resistance in the north, but far greater opposition in the south. The II Sudan Corps has secured the north of the country, and is now moving southwards from Faya-Largeau in the direction of Lake Chad and N'Djamena. The II Royal Saudi Corps and the I Royal Oman Corps have been moving to the direction of N'Djamena, which is still in a relatively peaceful state as opposed to the far southwest were muslim and christian militants have been reported to clash violently several times, and have pacified the cities of Mongo and Massenya on their way. N'Djamena is not expected to resist much to the Greater Arabian peacekeeping forces, as the city is predominantly muslim and the christian militants have never had much support in the city. The other two corps, the I Yemenite Corps and the I Qatari Bahraini Corps have moved to the southwest, where christian factions offer heavy resistance. Over 50.000 Muslims have already fled to the Greater Arabian-controlled north, as that is a much safer part of the country for them now. They have captured the city of Sarh, and are now moving farther westwards to the cities of Doba and Bongor, and to the stronghold of the Christian factions, Moundou.


Maldives hand over sovereignty

The fleet that has been sent eastwards has arrived at the capital of the Maldives, Malé, and this island group has been officially annexed by Greater Arabia after the president handed over the sovereignty of the country to king Fahd, after negotiations with Arabian representatives. Most people seem indifferent to who actually controls the country, as long as the tourists keep coming. No actual rioting has been reported. Greater Arabia has announced that the Maldives will continue to be able to handle most of its own affairs. The current government has been adopted as the new provincial government, with two ministers resigning out of protest.

Short headlines
- The Greater Arabian parliament has decided to loosen up its religious laws somewhat. This includes more freedom for women, less media censorship, selling of alcohol to foreign tourists, and similar things.
- The first fifteen Somalian war criminals have been sentenced. The punishments generally ranged from five years in jail to death by torture. One man, who has been sentenced for multiple executions, rape, and genocide, and various lighter charges besides that, will be hanged four times.
- Production of the Qubth ut Allah continues at a rate of 70 MBT's a month, and some 140 have now been produced.
- Rebuilding of South Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia begins. Infrastructure and buildings like schools, police stations etc. will either be upgraded, built or rebuilt. This will take considerable time and money to complete though, and estimates range from 18 months to five years. This project has been extended to northern and eastern Chad, but only at a low level for now. The project in Chad will intensify when all of it has been pacified.

OOC:

About this tank...I am not really reverse-engineering the tanks. What I am ding is basically looking at the basic idea that went into the tank, you know, stuff you can find at Army-tech. I am not going for America's super secrets or Russia's(neither of which would be there since they degrade all exports).

About this Nimitz frenzy. Who was the idiot that gave that advantage away? Also, just a little point for the mods. It took a combined US 6 4/12 years to build the Truman. If the US was divided, that might asily become 10 years. For another country, that number could go to almost 13.

You guys really have to watch that Discovery Channel special...that was cool.

How does someone pump out 2,000 MBTs and then 3,000 next?

IC:

Leopard I goes into prepared production

There will be a good number of 75 Leopard Is being pumped out per month. To increase to 100 in 3 months.

To All Nations: Planes needed


To: UK

We are interested in buying Challenger MBTs plus the right to build it. We are also interested in buying some of the airplanes.

To: DV

Where are those tanks I ordered a while ago?
