GDNES2 - The Age of War

[foolish_icarus]

Britain to Austria:

please don't do this. As we stated before, China is not worth such strife in Europe. We must stay united, lest WE become the ones that are colonized by others. Make amends with France while you still can. We are sure they will be willing to make peace now, but if you two spill much blood of eachother, then their will be too much emnity. Stop your agression now, or we will be forced to cut all ties with your nation.

[Nimitz]

To: France
What if we are willing to pay for that land for china would you give it up and end the war?

[Frozzy]

OOC: Nimitz, your latest map does not show Russian advancements into the Baltic Islands on the north of our shores. If you look into this thread you will see that we made the advancements quite some time ago...

[Frozzy]

To Britain: Europe is growing restless. I suggest we sign a defensive alliance lest war break out in our regions. United we stand, divided we fall.

[Frozzy]

OOC (again ): Could someone come up with a diagram showing who is at war with who and who is allied with whom a la Civ III? It's quite hard to keep up at the moment...

top secret to AA: We're glad you guys have our backs, and are also glad to see our mexican friends join in the fray, as I see it now, Argentina has the free military, sweep in and take the American coasts, with their ports blocked, there ships will be eaisily destroyed, and we can launch an offensive. This time Cuba will not be so pacifistic towards the U.S.

To the United States: What continued imperialistic expansion?? Were you looking at an international mirror when you wrote that?? It is your nation which has expanded into the Carribean, via the virgin islands, the florida keys massacre, and the Aruban Death invasion perpetrated by the U.S.A..

To BENEDEFRA ((I think that's all the letters)): Cuba is asking for military or domestic aid from the BENEDEFRA alliance. Although Cuba has spoken harshly to some of your nations, our track record is clean as far as willingness to resolve things in a peaceful manner. We ask that you assist us in the very least by declaring neutrality in regards to the war in the carribean, we have seen the United States tuck it's tail between it's legs and disappear after previous unilateral conflicts, it will happen again.

To Spain: We were once taken away from you by the United States, we know you would like revenge. Aid us in our struggle for liberty against the oppressionist government of the United States, and you will have that revenge.

[Metaliturtle]

What countries are open? Goober and I fixed our single-name problem, and will both be participating now.

[SKILORD]

sorry gio, i just can't do it. Too busy to play this.

[GeneralTacticus]

Okay, so I assume I can join as Germany then?

[Frozzy]

To Germany: Will we keep up our alliance?

[GeneralTacticus]

To Russia: Of course.

Germany - Internal Affairs:

Kaiser Wilhelm has died of old age and been succeeded by his son, Dieter. Following his coronation, the German Reichstag has passed a law forbidding any organization to advocate revolution, in official statements or manifestos. This has resulted in the banning of a number of socialist organizations.

Germany - Diplomacy:

To China (secret): We have no intention whatsoever of going to war against France. Don't even ask again.

To France (secret): The chinese have asked us to go to war against you in their support. We ahve refused, and would like to offer you our miltiary support in your war agaisnt China in return for a share of the spoils - i.e. some Chinese land and reparations from the Chinese once we win. We are also willing to back you up against Japan later on if we can take some of their land.

To Russia: We will support you in your efforts to maintain control over Mongolia.

To Austria: As your allies, we must implore you to cease your war against France. We cannot support you in your defence of a nation which has violated numerous treaties, but we have no desire to fight you either.

To Great Britain: We propose that we sign a mutual security pact.

Germany - Projects:

The German government is taking action to expand the German economy to Booming. This should be complete within 2.5 years.

Military service has now ben extended from 2 to 3 years in Germany, allowing for substantial expansion of the army. The new troops should be ready and armed in 1 year.

Germany is also starting a program of naval expansion, which should increase the size of the navy to Very Large within 3 years.

Finally, a project has been started to establish a German air force to compete with various other powers. As the principles of the whole thing are well understood, Germany should have a Tiny air force within a year.

Germany - Statistics (1916):
Army: Very Large (upgrades to Huge in 1 year (2 days))
Navy: Medium (upgrades to Very Large in 3 years (6 days))
Air Force: None (upgrades to Tiny in 1 year (2 days))
Space Fleet: N/A
Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Economy: Prosperous (upgrades to Booming within 2.5 years (5 days))

OOC (again ): Could someone come up with a diagram showing who is at war with who and who is allied with whom a la Civ III? It's quite hard to keep up at the moment...

To: Ottoman
From: Italy
(secret)
As Germany and Russia seems to have got away from their isolationism, it would not be a wise move to attack Russia, maybe we can convince her to sell Crimea back to you, and we will buy it for you if you wish.
But we feel it's better to not backstab them, as this would put the Balkan Alliance and China, isolated against the whole world.
Also especially since the Mongolians are actually very close to the Siberian population of Russia, and as they use the same Russian alphabet, we think that the Mongolians are actually better off in Russian control rather than Chinese control (but of course the best for them would be independence)(/secret)

To: Russia
From: Italy

We stand behind our allies, as we always did.

To: China
From: Italy

We are stil awaiting your ambassador in Venice so to diplomaticaly discuss your issue with the French and Austrian one (with us being the mediator). If you refuse to send him here it would not make the Italian government happy

To: Germany
From: Italy

Should in this mess France attack Italy, we hope you would help us.

Elections:
The Liberal Party, headed by the current Prime Minister, Giovanni Giolitti, won once againthe majority, and with the blessing of King Vittorio Emanuele III the Giolitti government have been confirmed for another term.
But also a new force have now entered the political scene, it is called the Fascist Party, lead by a young journalist named Benito Mussolini.

Liberal: 54%
Conservatives: 23%
Socialist: 18%
Fascist: 15%

The war-positions in the government are now as follow:
The Conservatives wish to declare war on France and help the Austrian ally, but they don't care about China, and they actually would like to take their territories in China as well.
The Fascist wish to switch side and attack the Austrians, ant take from them the Irrentia territories, wich means the Italian speaking regions of Istria, Dalmatia, Trentino and Friuli.
The Socialist instead wish to stay in peace, but they push the government to put pressure on the French so that they'll give up their claims in China.
At last the Liberals, they wish to stay in peace with both countries, and trade with both so to enrich Italy, although they also said that should the rest of the alliance take a position as well, they would side with the Alliance.
