SNESA 8: Ironclad

[Giovanni Wine]

The Italian Civil War is over.

The Communist forces, thanks to the help of Polish, Greek and Russian forces have captured the last Democratic stronghold in Sicily.

When this was done talkings between the Royals and the Communists were ongoing, and as such the Royals accepted to peacefully hand over their territories, with the excpetion of Switzerland which will be left independent, and the royals are now granted the right to freely live in Italy, and end their exile.

During the war it is calculated that almost one milion people perished and the Italian economy suffered a lot as a consequence to that.

After all this, Austria too was granted independence by the Communist.

To: Warsaw Pact
From: Italy

We thank you for your help in defeating those capitalist pig which were destroying our nation, may Communism soon rule the world.
Also would you be so kind to help us in our rebuilding?

To: Greece
From: Italy

My dear friends, I think it could be in the best interest of our communist brotherhood, to unite our two nations into one, forming the Mediterranean Communist Confederation of People, Greece and Italy long haved a common history and share the same culture and heritage, we shall be now united in this new political entity f you accept.
The Administrative Capital could be placed in Athens, while the Senate could be placed in Rome.
What do you think?
SKILORD should answer that

To Italy:
China and we are sure that the rest of the Warsaw pact will aid in your rebuilding efforts. We will send 10,000,000 rubles as a start to help your economy.

[SKILORD]

Greece will accept the offer, may a new Greco-Roman Empire of the Proletariat be born!

Canada congratulates the workers of Italyt, we will send financial aid and workers.

France to China: We would like to create a trading and economic pact between our nations.

France to Germany: We are beginning to start the moon program. The first unmanned spacecraft will be launched to the moon in 2 years. The first manned spacecraft should be ready to go in 4 years. As for joining the alliance, we will consider it.

France to Poland: I'm glad we could work out a deal, however the Italian Civil War has come to an end. Will you still help us in South America if we help with peacekeeping and rebuilding in Italy?

France to Italy: We offer you monetary aid to help you rebuild.

[gooberboob]

To Italy: You have no right to grant independence to Polish Territory, they may negotiate with us if they wish, but as it stands right now, Polish forces are still maintaining control over the area.

Poland forces are now helping to rebuild the italian penninsula, giving Italy a LOAN which may be paid back over 40 years after we rebuild.

The suspicious change in government in the Americas is forcing Poland to maintain troops on the mainland United States, as a randomly changing government is a liability to Communism. All American military buildup will be viewed as a threat until we can assess the true intentions of the USSA.

In order to help the French, Poland has begun invasions in central America, approximately 30% of Southern Mexico to the Panama Canal is now under Polish Control.

Polish scientists begin work on the development of aircraft which will be far superior to the Arrow, they have found plans of Stealth Technology in the United States, and are basing some of their designs upon that technology. 6 Scientific laboratories have been put into competition for the best prototype. There should be a prototype in a year, and testing should be finished in 3 years, leaving production to begin in 4 years, and the upgrading of the air force in 6 years.

Secret to China, Russia, Italy, and Canada: There's something fishy going on in the Middle East, be prepared to take a chunk.

[Jonny]

French Forces in South America are on the move. Many are moving into the Rebel Repubilc in order to fight the rebels and take back that land. The rebels did not have good weapons, so it was easy to fight them and take back the land. Other forces are moving into areas controlled by the Central American Empire, such as Chile and Bolivia, among others. French forces will move north and west throughout South America and meet up with Polish forces.

To Poland(secret): Since we both are currently fighting the Central American Empire, why don't we totally eliminate them and spilt up their land? We propose the following proposal: You would get all of the Central American Empire land in Central America (Mexico to Panama) and of their Carribbean Islands. We would get all of their possessions in South America. (see picture)

Fine by Poland

Germany - Diplomacy:

To France: We will be glad to participate in this project. Scientists from our own space program will be arriving in your country to help with the project soon.

To India (top secret): We think that the communists are beginning to get suspicious about our preparations for operations in the Middle East. We may need to speed our plans up somewhat, but we will also be slowed down by the fact that we were unable to acquire bases in Italy. Perhaps it would be best if we manipulated the local governments into inviting us in, then had them overthrown without seeming to be directly involved. We coudlt hen impose our own rule on the area under the pretext of restoring order and safeguarding the world's oil supplies.

Germany - Domestic Policy:

The German government is greatly the amount of the budget that goes to the miltiary and it's private contractors, in order to devleop more advanced weapons. The missile industry is recieving particular attention, and Germany is currently working (in secret) on the world's first ABM project.results are expected in 10-15 years.

Germany - Production:

The German military buildup to the maximum levels permitted by the Belrin Accords (OOC: the peace treaty we signed with the Warsaw Pact /OOC) is being accelerated; it should be entirely complete within 3 years.

German scientists are now working on their own stealth tehcnology program, courtesy of a scientist who worked on the American program and emigrated to Germany to escape the communists.

Germany - Espionage (secret):

German intelligence agents in Iraq are extending their operations and setting up networks of contacts and recruiting more agents for later use. Iraq will be extensively infiltrated within 2 years. Evidence has been fabricated so that if anyone is caught, the operation will appear to be a Persian plot.

Germany - Statistics (1966):

Medium Army (upgrades to Large in 3 years)
Medium Navy (upgrading to Large in 3 years)
Medium Air Force (upgrades to Large in 3 years)
Medium Nukes
Space Program: Jointly conducted with the French; should be able to place satellites in orbit within a year.
Economy: Prosperous (grows to booming in 2 years)
Govt: Social Democracy
Leader: GeneralTacticus
Tech Level: Mid Modern
MPP's: India
War: None

OOC: Goober, if you're intending to make a 'stealth fighter', basically, you can't; stealth may have been developed a bit early here, but the tehcnolgoy required to develop a plane that could be more than just a bomber and remain 'stealthy' would be decades away.

[gooberboob]

((OOC however, tech was available that would allow for a fighter that projected false radar images several hundred miles in front of where the actual planes were, which is what I was planning on having my scientists finish))

[GeneralTacticus]

OOC: Sounds interesting. How was it done? Why wasn't it used? (political concerns, perhaps?)

[gooberboob]

I read how the soviet Air Force did it by accident, and it almost started world war 3 because a squadron of MIGs appeared on radar over London, but when they sent planes to intercept, the Russians called and said they were projecting false images.

[foolish_icarus]

The Persian and Iraqi governments, apparently in a jointly planned operation, have seized all the land belonging to India and Germany that is within their boundaries. They have offered no compensation and there has been no response from the Indian embassies in either country, leading the Indian government to believe that the embassies must have been stormed. Added to this is the increasing Persian and Iraqi military buildups, specifically on the borders with India, and we can only conclude that they are planning an offensive action against us. As the Persians and Iraqis have completely cut off all diplomatic channels, there is no way for us to negotiate or otherwise contact the government to find out their intentions. We therefore have no choice but to declare war on the governments of Iraq and Persia in order to reclaim the land that was rightfully purchased and then stolen, rescue foreign citizens trapped in these countries, disarm these agressive and clearly belligerent regimes, and free their citizens from the horribel conditions and opression they are suffering from. The Indian military, in order to accomplish this task, has finally completed its upgrade, with the stats now standing at Navy-Medium, Army-Large, Airforce-Large. A defensive line has been set up in the Pakistani mountains to guard against an assault from Afghanistan, the terrain means that actually very forces need be committed to accomplish effective defense. Meanwhile, the bulk of the Indian military is pushing into Persia, specifically from the south. There is a fair number of Persian troops that the Indian army is fighting against, but air support, which regularly defeats anything the Persians can throw up in the air (thankyou Messershmidt ) is keeping Persian supply lines disrupted and reinforcements from moving in, so steady advances are being made with only moderate Indian casualties. Meanwhile, the Indian navy is clearing the meager enemy ship forces out of the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman. So far engagements in general turn out in favor of the Indians, but sea dominance has not yet been established. Even though the war is slowing the Indian economy somewhat, India has no problem fielding adequate numbers of troops, and regular rotation of fresh troops ensures that casualties stay small.

India to Germany (SECRET) :

We're sorry to do this without warning you, but these moronic actions of the Iraqis and Persians was just the precedant we needed, far too good to pass up. And we were genuinely concerned about their buildup. But no matter now. Join us, we're sure there won't be any significant problems, even if it is a little earlier than you expected.

To India:
China would like to see indepent governments set up once you are done with your "peacekeeping" mission. We do not want to see that you or any other nation uses this as an excuse for land grabing and trying to controll the world's oil supplies. Be warned China is watching you.

[Jack_www]

In response to current World events the government has started a millitary build up. The Amry will be increased from Large to Huge in 3 years time. Goal is for 40 million troops in the army.

The Chinese millitary is also placed on high alert and moved near the Middle East and India. ALso China's two super carriers have been moved to the region as well.
