I would like to become the head of the Abwehr (Intelligence). I will infiltrate Los Alamos and Oak Ridge! My agents will NOT wear Hitler... er... Kan mustaches. I promise. That would totally give them away. Are nukes supported in this?

Cute, but the Kan look is more general scuffiness than the 'Chaplin' moustache. Head of intelligence ye may be. Nuclear technology is in this game. I intend on getting it before the Americans. That and missiles.
To the Council: On that note I suppose I better make this announcement.
During October 1939 I was informed that we have the ability to begin research into a V-1 "Flying Bomb" rocket. At the moment such missiles would be lucky to cross the channel, but I believe that in time we could research further "rocket" technology to travel further (across the Atlantic, maybe) and devastate the entire world!
Given the strategic advantages to such a device, what is everyone's thoughts?

I suppose to make this fair on who buys the wine - will we reach Paris before the end of April, or after?

Yes, all good. Now just update! Oh and I petition for an expirmental nuclear torpedo of a small yield, one that you fire in the middle of a large convoy and utterly destroy it.

Hearts of Iron II German AAR - Written by the Victors
2nd - 10th April 1940
The German onslaught
One week of fighting later, and France was in crisis.
In the early hours of April 2nd, Field Marshall von Kleist began the invasion of Belgium with his Northern Army. As his forces set foot in Antwerp, the Southern Army - under Field Marshall Heisser - began its advance. Both were supported by the Luftwaffe, who ripped apart any Allied air force and retreating armies.
And there was a lot of retreating armies. The German advance was swift, brutal and unforgiving. Over the next five days the provinces of Belgium - Bastogne, Brussels, Arlon - fell, mostly without resistance. On the 7th of April, faster moving motorised and armoured divisions, under the command of General Rommel, pierced into France. They did not stop.
As the encirclement of the Maginot Line began, the Northern Army moved to complete its own encirclement. A combined French-British force attempted to halt the envelopment, but failed. By the 10th of April the Allies had realised they were in a very difficult situation.
April 10th
This was most visible by a sudden crisis in the British Parliament, as Prime Minister Chamberlain stepped down as several parties refused to follow him in a united government. His successor was Winston Churchill, who had been among the most vocal of anti-German policies before the war.
The Emperor noted, not without some regret, that this would mean peace with Britain through diplomatic means was very unlikely

After further investigation, it appears the "french" we encountered in Yugoslavia were actually just Yugoslavians.
and about the Battle you put up there, i certainly hope my car wasnt in the middle of that, I know i plan to be at the front, but still a Volkswagon doesnt have as much protection as a Panzer

As there appears to be no enemy divisions in Dunkerque, I'd recommend sending one or two divisions to take it and tighten the encirlment in Belgium....

11th April - 8th May
Immediately following the encirclement, German forces began to press inwards. By the 15th, both Liege and Ghent had been taken, and nearly 10 Belgian and French divisions had been wiped out. Belgium was effectively out of the war, it was time to concentrate solely on France.
At this point, the German thrusts meant that they were in a precarious position. The only thing stopping the Allies from launching a counter-attack was the fact they were in complete disarray! As such, the first thing to do was straighten out the front line, and prepare for the final assault. This was achieved by the 20th of April. Paris was now a front-line city.
The front is strengthened
In fact, on the 20th an attack was made on Paris which succeeded, but the Germans did not enter the city just yet. The attack was only meant to divert the Allies attention away from the east, where the Southern Army was outflanking the Maginot Line. As they took Dijon began to fall, it was reported by Killvouall - head of German Intelligence - that mass desertions were taking place in Alsace-Lorraine.
Supreme Commander Captain ordered the beginning of the Last Offensive which included a thrust into Normandy, Paris and Strasbourg. All fell, and Allied resistance simply collapsed. As the advantage was pressed, the Emperor paid a visit to Paris with his Council, where they enjoyed wine on top of the Eiffel Tower.
Finally, on the 8th of May it was over. The French government - now under the charge of Henri-Philippe Petain - sued for peace. An armistice was signed, in which France would retain control of all but its coastal territories, as well as become neutral.
The peace offer
With the Atlantic coast now open, Cleric was granted permission to send his U-Boats to French ports. Meanwhile, Emperor Kan now had the long and arduous task of reorganising his forces, as well as constructing defences along the coast. In addition, the threat of the Soviet Union loomed large in the east - it had won the Winter War with Finland, and had recently absorbed Lithuania and Estonia into its empire. Peace for Germany was a long way off

(Kan's note: France fell in four weeks! My record, I believe. In addition, it looks like we could have taken it back in October/November

Their flanks are collapsing and their center is about to give way. The situation is excellent.
EDIT: That was supposed to be posted before France fell....
Odd, were we not going to invade Norway? Didn't we trigger that event? Are they sending convoys of materials to Russia via around the north route? We will need to cut those off.
And what about Holland? Can they be imtimidated enough not to let British troops land?
Our goals in Yugoslavia have been reached, hopefully Hungary will grow stronger.
We will need to build up forces along our Eastern Front.
Also, What about Africa? Egypt in particular.

Oooh Egypt! Oasis, Battery and Gold Rush!
I am not sure if we should divert forces this way, however. Not while the Soviet Union is still in the game.

1. We were, but I decided against it in light of the Yugoslavia crisis.
2. Nobody's sending any convoys to Russia at the moment
3. The Netherlands are neutral, and will hopefully stay that way. This means that the Allies can't deploy troops there. I have troops garrisoning the border...just in case
4. I agree regarding Yugoslavia and the Eastern Front.
5. At the moment nothing is happening in Africa, though now that we have access to the Mediterranean I'll construct some transports and an Expeditionary Force if Italy decides to invade Egypt. The Suez Canal would be a valuable asset.

ok sir, i'm ready to assume my duties of sitting across the channel from the British and making faces whenever we think we see them pull out binoculars
also, would it be possible to get the Dutch as close friends? just in case Britian tries to talk them into stabbing us in the back, if we do plan on a move agianst russia while britan is still alive it would be a good idea to have friends on our western front
