GDNES2 - The Age of War

[Sheep]

The US Army continue its liberation of Us territory. Florida is under our control once more, as San Franscico, as the impovreished South American nations are outweigehed by US military and industrial might.

The Argentinain invasion of Lousiania is stalemated and the US Navy engaes the Latin Fleets in the Gulf of Mexico destroying them, cutting the Latin armies from supply.

Us Propoganda throughout Central America has started to sway opinion towards them.

The US government announces a plan to hold votes in all Central American nations to either join the US, or become independent, either unified or not.

Sheep, the U.S. really didn't have much military might at this time

[Sheep]

occ:I am sure it had more than all of Latin America and had the power to end WW1. I am sure they are more than capable.

[jdd2007]

Japan has taken the Philipenes.

The Huge Army is massing in Korea.

Merchant fleets have begun shipping goods and resources to the USA.

A large loan has given to the ally.

Japan's Huge Navy has sent half its fleets to San Diego, with preliminary orders to assist the Americans in Central America.

A famine sweeps through Japan, and the treasury is strained buying Chinese grain and rice.

[jdd2007]

The Japanese army has stopped growing. A huge army is a big enough drain on the country already. However, the navy is planning to continue construction on new warships for 10 more years. This will be a truly Imperial force on the Pacific when it is done. Also, reports have leaked out on Japanese plans for domination underwater as well.

The United States pledges grain assignments to the Japanese people.

Britain to U.S.:

Please, be reasonable. End your wars so that you can take care of your own people again. This silly pursuit of a few central american nations is causing too much pain when you can't possibly get anything out of it. The longer you persist at this the more you hurt your people. Eat a little crow and sue for peace with now demanding terms. The other nations cannot honorably keep fighting with you if you ask for nothing but peace and amend this pointless conflict.

[civman2000]

OOC: Yes, you had a bigger military than Latin America. But what about Latin America plus Britain, plus a little bit of help from France and Russia? Weith so many countries we are clearly bigger. And please be realistic, you couldn't destroy our entire Atlantic fleets overnight. And you have no propoganda in Central America. We control it. You do not have access to the press. Stop pretending you have some omnipotent intelligence agency that can make everyone everywhere love you.

To teh World: Look at the US! They are calling us "tinpot emperors" again, when we are OBVIOUSLY DEMOCRACIES (LOOK AT TEH FIRST POST ANYONE THAT DOUBTS THIS). Why must the US spread such misinformation? We have not told the world any lies about them. And then, with most of teh democracies of teh world allied against them, who do they ally themselves with? Japan! Japan, a country ruled by a dynastic emperor whose family has not been pushed from power in over 2 milennia! If anyone is a "tinpot emperor," he is. I ask the world: How could the US's cause possibly be just if they must make obvious and blatant lies about their enemies being undemocratic and then ally themselves with one of the least democratic countries in the world?????????

With most of teh US forces in the South and West, the ARgentinian forces in teh Midwest have been quite successful. For four months, they blocked off the Missouri, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers, and destroyed 600 miles of railroad, and left a small force to continue this (this should make the US's economy drop a quarter of a step, which should take .5-1.5 years to fix, and should also hinder the US's ability to move troops west. Also, while we keep control of the area, every 6 months the US economy will drop by a half step). They have also confiscated many supplies, some of which were taken to the forces on the GUlf coast, others were kept and produced quite a morale boost, and others were sent to british troops in Michigan. After that, they have surged east, and met with Canadian and British forces in the Pennsylvania and New York Appalachians.

Troops in Louisiana are holding strong, and have taken a defensive position in the swamps. Although they can't make any progress by doing this, they will be difficult to dislodge.

Naval reinforcements have come to both fronts. Argentina has developed submarines based on documents stolen from a US ship, although the US's subs are a bit stronger. In the Pacific, submarines attacked the Japanese fleet at San Diego, and used the element of surprise and the confusion among the Japanese at first to win the battle, though they did not completely main or destroy the fleet, and suffered a few losses themselves. During the battle, several Argentinian transports slipped through and unloaded tens of thousands of reinforcements.

In the Caribbean, Argentinian forces wer less effective. Now they only control the southern and central caribbean (well Cuba actually has more control over the central but they're neutral so far) and the Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama coasts. Reinforcements have landed in Louisiana and Texas. THe TExas forces have gone north to the Midwest.

In California, the ARgentinian forces have begun to tell every Chinese immigrant they meet to oppose the US because they are allied with the evil Japanese who are attacking CHina. Although this is not that effective, as few of the Argentinian battalions have Chinese-speakers and very few of the Chinese speak Spanish, but they are having a little bit of success. While doing this, they have gon north and cut off the railroads to the east of San Francisco.

To Japan: Get out of this war before you lose it. Keep the Phillippines, they are valuable. But either leave the US or join with us. With you unable to give any aid other than economic and naval aid, the US will not be able to win. In exhcnage for peace, we will even pay some reparations for having damaged your navy!

To the USA: We thank you for your grain, but we would have to ask that you back down in your wars. Japan did not realize how the cards were stacked against your country. However, we stand by our allies. Our fleets have done limited damage against Argentina in the meantime. If you do decide to accept terms against your enemies, we will give you massive aid packages.

To Argentina: Our warships in San Diego were fired upon by Argentine vessels. This constitutes an act of war, and the newly elected Japanese Parliament has voted to declare war on your nation.

Japanese fleets sweep south from San Diego. Even with several ships sunk, and many being repaired, they have no trouble sending 5 Argentine boats and 4 subs to the the bottom of the Pacific. Instead of staying by the coast, they swing South to the Galapagos and await further orders.

Secret, to top Argentinian officials:
Japan, even though we have fought back against your navy, has no desire to get stuck in this war, which we cannot win. Japanese intelligence failed to notify the command of the diplomatic situation of the United States. So at this point, we just want to get out of this mess without losing face. Tokyo agrees to a peace treaty, although we turn down reparations. We hope this sign of friendship will allow future harmony between our nations.

[civman2000]

To Japan (SECRET): We agree.

Argentinian ships have met the Japanese ships at the Galapagos. In a series of radio messages, thay agreed to a ceasefire and a full peace treaty pending approval by the Japanese and Argentinian government at home. A few days later the Argentinian Congress agreed as did (I assume) Japan. The Argentinian ships then continued north and a traditional fleet along with aa few destroyers and subs is now on the coast of Southern California.

The British projects for the Airforce, Submarine groups, and armored mobile vehicles have come to fruition. Primitives combat planes, tanks, and submarines are being produced. They are all slow, unwieldly, and generally ineffective, but more advanced prototypes are being worked on.

The British military now stands as follows:

(most of the new equipment has been loaned to the Argentinians and Brazilians)

Army: Large, with tank divisions

Navy: Imperial, with submarine divisions

Airforce: Small/Tiny, mostly composed of armed scouts with a few simple low-payload bombers

Britian to U.S.:

this is your last warning. If you do not immediatly accept peace terms with the Argentinians and Brazilians and recognize the independance of ALL central american nations, we will be forced to take an offensive stance. And if we have to fight for it, it isn't going to become part of the U.S. again afterwards. Don't make us do that.

to Argentina and Brazil:

We want this war to end. To more effectively accomplish this, we are loaning you planes, submarines, and tanks (for what they're worth). You will get to keep some of them depending on how much longer the war lasts. If you finish it within a year, you keep all of them that have been loaned to you, no charge. If it takes you 18 months, you get to keep 3/4. 2 years... half. 30 months... 1/4. If at the end of 3 years from now the war still isn't finished, we're taking all the loaned equipment back, whether you still need it or not. Please Hurry.
