TO China (SECRET): We would like an alliance.

[foolish_icarus]

Germany and India have split the middle east (see earlier posts) and India also controls Malaysia and Indonesia excluding Borneo

[Easthaven I]

To China:
We have our new differences. But I agree. Let us unite in destroying our common enemy. They are fools to think they can do what they did and get away with it!



Soviet forces reinvade the Caucasus, rather than one large mass, they form many smaller divisions with close air support. The combined fire power is too much for the Jihads. They move with complete speed, plans already drawn out before the offensive to limit enemy interceptance of transmissions of the plans. 500,000 men is believed to be the offensive force, but the way it is divided and carried out is difficult to be certain.


With the current threats in the world, the USSR begins a project for a new Anti-Ballistic Missile system that will defend Russian soil from nuclear weapons. The Soviets combine with the Warsaw pact allies in developing this new system.

Project: primitive capabilities 6-9 years, fully operational, maybe 10-12 years, depending on priorities.


Russian oil companies begin drilling in Alaska. Also upgrading capabilities of current petroleum fields in Siberia.

Polish territory in America has now accepted Polish Rule, volunteer armies are growing with fervor in the Southeastern US and Mexico, local militias are itchy to connect their plots of land, and have begun to purchase old military equipment, and are hiring veteran Polish troops as drill sargeants.

Poland is making the world aware of the vigilanteism in their American Territory, noting that although these men and women are Polish citizens, they do not represent the wishes of the empire; however, should they invade successfully on behalf of Poland, the occupation of the newly captured territories will be done by Polish regulars.

Poland sends troops and supplies to aid the Russians against the Band of Jihad, noting. "We are brethren, Poland and Russia, without one the other has no blood, withought the other, one has less clout.

Poland wishes to work with Russia in the development of an ABM system.

[Easthaven I]

Russia sends its best wishes to Poland for their aid. Russia also welcomes Poland to help in the ABM system. All Russian projects are open to our Polish brothers.

Germany - Diplomacy:

To Warsaw Pact (secret): Due to our concerns about the Band nuclear threat, we cannot assist you directly in your dispute with them, but we will provide covert assistance, and we will make sure that any pro-Band activity in Iraq is mercilessly crushed.

Germany - Internal Affairs:

Preparations are almost complete for next year's elections in Iraq, with the ILD being the only major contender against an array of smaller parties. All indications are that they will follow the Turkish model if elected.

Meanwhile, in Turkey, the government has restructured the army after the ambitious C-in-C attempted a military coup. The army has been renamed the National Army of Turkey and Kurdistan, or NATAK for short. It has beene ffectively integrated into the German miltiary by subordinating it's own High Command to the German General Staff.

[b]Germany - Espionage (secret):[/quote]

Germany has begun a program of covertly funding paramiltiaries and militias throughout Egypt and other remaining Band territory. They are under isntructions to attack government and miltiary targets and cause maximum disruption within the Band governments. Using modern weapons against the outdated equipment of the Band members, tehy have thus far met with no inconsiderable success.

Germany - Military Actions:

German troops have moved up to the Egyptian border and are constructing heavy fortifications to defend against a Band invasion.
