[Djugashvili]

The viscious battle for Tashkent continues... Chinese forces pound the rear with artillery, bringing nearly 25 to their death with each destructive salvo. Iraniaq marches towards the city center, having lost 2,400 men, 74 tanks, and 22 jets. The toll is great, but after this conflict, Central Asia will be won. But until then, it seems as if the Uzbeks are losing faith in their abilty to fight off the onslaught from the east and west. Virtually no factories of value are left standing in Tashkent, and hundreds of homes and offices are leveled. Dead bodies litter the blood stained street; most of them are gored and disfigured as they are often stepped on... Iraniaqi soldiers run ahead of the tanks to clear all enemy soldiers, then the tanks just roll up behind them and claim the land, as well as helping to break up troop concentrations... A bomb from the jets whizzing by overhead falls 20 feet from 30 Iraniaqi soldiers raiding an orphanage; they are all killed instantly. These acts were largly expected, but they are causing unnecessary loss of Iraniaqi life, even though the assault is ahead of schedule... To the rear of the invasion force, beyond the viscious whooping and screaming, in the midst of dead bodies killed during previous fighting, planners estimate that Iraniaqi forces will link up with China in three weeks, thus ending the viscious battle, and achieving full annexation of Uzbekistan. Three weeks can't come any sooner...

To: Neo-Soviet Russia
We'll gladly accept the 2000 T-72s from you. But still, I'm sure there's a way to aquire the 80s from you en masse. How much would you want for 1000? We are very economically sound from oil profits, and a very generous deal (for you) is certainly not out of the question...

_____________
To: India
Greetings and Salutations from your neighbor to your west and her two glorius allies! Let's hope cooperation between us can prevail over the opposite of such... By the way, you never really liked Pakistan... did you...?

IN AFGHANISTAN...
Soviet tacticians have arrived, along with satellite imagry, allowing the Iraniaqi advance to speed up once again. Assaults on Herat are underway, and virtually the entire region of Rigestan is under Iraniaq's control. Many of the T-72s arriving from Russia would come to this front, seeing how they'd be very effective against Afghan militia men, as the Soviets can probably attest to. 2,100 Afghans are reported dead already, compared to only 300 dead for Iraniaq. Soviet aide is expected to bring to bring the invasion to an end 30% faster, and for this, Presdient Shabaz will be sure not to return the favor some day...

To: CRME
Best of luck to you, our eternal ally, in dealing with Italy; we wish for a speedy campaign favoring ourselves. Obviosuly...

To: Arabic Union
Best of luck in putting down the Somali threat. Teach those warlords a lesson in manners why don't ya...

[Captain Kirk]

OOC - Scott F or JT3 I need a reply. Who gets Croatia? I asked for it when Hans2 was still Japan. Scott F said tha about the only chance I would get was if Spartan opened up the GRI, which he did. And than Hans switched his claim and said he got Croatia via post. So I just want a final judgement. If Hans gets it fine than. But I want to stop seeming like I'm whining.

[Mao]

Bill, did you really have to call him an idiot? I see someone *ahem* fanning the flames...

IC:

Emperor Mao I was present at the formal ceremony where the last of the Trans-Imperial rail/road way was completely linking all the major and many minor cities in the Empire.

$1 billion USD has been set aside in next year's budget for educational purposes.

The one-man helicopter, aptly named the Apollo is being redesigned from the previous failure.

OOC: If Hans is right and it only takes 1.5 years to build a carrier, then mine should be out soon as I've been building 2 since the beginning of this whole thread.

The Imperial Navy, in a hope to modernize her navy, is ordering 20 missile frigates for future use and coastal defense as well as one VSTOL carrier and 15 destroyers followed by 5 AEGIS cruisers. Completetion for all these ships is expected to be in 2-3 years (ie. the last one will come out then)

[Bearcat]

To China - We are willing to let your researchers study our Trafalgar submarine. You probably have better so you need only say so. But if not we are willing to fuly cooperate with your people.

[Hans2]

OOC
Croatio is a vital land link for Italy. To give it up would mean a disjointed empire. You know how I got Italy? I asked Spartan if he was playing anymore. Did you ICQ him? Email him?

I got a question for you, what are you planning on doing with Croatia? If you are planning on making a world spanning empire I got news for you, you don't have a snowball's chance in hell. If you want that take Japan which is in much better posisition to do such a thing.

If you jus want to focus on social issues perhaps I can make you govenor of Croatia or somethings.

BD, I never got your original request. I added you and sent you a message stating the same as above.

Please keep in mind you have no navy to speak of. If you even try any amphib landings I will follow suit and throw realism out the door. With my superior economy I could beat the living snot out of you and Franco Spain with one arm tied behind my back. But I don't want to fight. I'm willing to negotiate with you, but not FS, they have not place in this.

DC, you control two first world countries. What more do you need? Sorry that Spartan made war on you before.
IC
To: Germany

Please stop supplying arms to the CRME. You have much oil in Romania and we have oil in Libyia. You do without mideast oil for a while.

To: The World

Can you plese speak out against this blatant aggression. If this stands who will be next?

[Mao]

To: Franco-Spain
From: ICE

We would like ask why war was declared on Italy.

To: Italy
From: ICE

We would like to ask why war was declared on Franco-Spain

To: Peru

We would love to study the Trafalger-class submarines in hopes that our cross-Pacific relations could become more friendly and we could become great friends in the future.

OOC: Hans, Kirk probably wants to play Croatia for the same reason Jools wanted to play Poland. Obviously Poland wasn't going to become a world power either, but Jools still wanted it.

Kirk, if you really want Croatia, then rebel and ask for aid from other nations, I'm sure some would be willing to help.

Hans, two hands tied behind your back huh? Tough words...

[Mao]

To: GCI
From: ICE

Greetings to our great neighbor in the south. For too long our nations have had misunderstandings, we would like to end that offer a mutual defensive and economic alliance. Asia must be secure for Asians, thank you.

[Captain Kirk]

Well no world spanning empire. I just a free and independant Croatia. I'll probably keep it mostly the way it is. Maybe take a little of Bosnia. Not alot. No like I said before I came on the thread and asked if Croatia was taken. I was told it was part of Italy. Anyway with further inquiries Scott F told me the only way to get Croatia was if Spartan decided not to play anymore. You were still Japan. So when you claimed it I figured Spartan was out!

I don't really want to rebel. Who knows maybe if you fre me I'll help with the CRME or French?

------------------
Damnit, Jim I'm a doctor not an animal psychologist

[Bearcat]

I will speak out.

To CRME - Cease your attacks now! I can understand your wish to gain Cyprus but why Greece? Greece is not part of the Middle East and the Greeks have no wish to live under your heel. They fought a rebellion against your Turkish ancestors for this reason. Please stop your attacks. I'm sure the GRI will be willing to talk.

To GRI - Please sort this problem out!

[Du_Chateau]

From Confederated States of France, Spain, and Portugal

You have taken Savoy provence, Corsica, and another French island that is in the mediterrainian from France. That is why we are not that happy.

How many Leclercs do you want?

[Black Dragon]

Nice try Hans, but that's a bluff if I ever saw one. What you said was utterly laughable. Defeating France, Spain, and Portugal, and the Middle East? Ha Ha Ha. A far as Navy, I have an aircraft carrier, I have air superiority, that Cyprus assault was because of what's called a suprise attack. And I am sure Ducy and I's navy will outnumber yours. I am fairly sure you do not have chobham armor, but I am sure we do. You will be facing a war on two fronts. Your economy? Dwarfed compared to the combined efforts of ours? Furthermore, in a war, remember that you would have NO OIL whatsoever! You will be facing a two front war, hostile skies, a Naval Blockade, no oil, I put your chances of winning a war against Du_Chateau and I combined at about zero. And Germany said he won't take a side in this war. And I am allied with the entire Middle East. And again, don't even think about making a deal with only one of us, as we both agreed we won't make peace with you unless we make a deal that suits us both. If you could crush us, you wouldn't even be negotiating. Now I have re-requested authorization, please authorize me.

[Mao]

OOC: I hope that was in OOC, I agree BD, but why would Hans bluff in OOC like that? I can understand propaganda...but still

[Bearcat]

Only 24 hours left before you guys make your decison (CTA and UDSA). Peru eagerly awaits your decision.
