Russia for me!

Premier Ministyer Sergei Chervakov looked at the photographs, they were blurry, black and white. his three year old could have drawn a better picture.
"You see the french are invading the netherlands here you can see their forces coming in the photo." hi assistant said.
Barely he thought.
"What shall we do about it?"
"Talk to the Allies see if they need anything, offer them our support."
"Are you sure?"
"The greek agressors are on the other side, if we beat them once, we can once more."
"Shall we just declare war?"
"No, just offer our support. if they accept i beeive we shall"
"Publicly?"
"Do we have something to be ashamed of?"

is it safe to attack france when there is noone playing it? If not, discard this post:

The British marines hearts thumped loudly as their landing craft neared the coast of northern france. It was the largest amphibiouse drop in the modern world, with 600,000 men and women all transported by the Royal. It was also a short trip, right through the Enlglish Channel. Along with the huge man power, 400 tanks were being shipped over, 4 per landing ship. Behind protecting the landing crafts, were 5 battleships, 30 destroyers, 10 cruisers, all bombarding the coast. One aircraft carrier in the distance, gaurded by ten destroyers and 50 cruisers, also sent bombers to clear the beach front. When on the beach, orders are to secure a base of operations for the allies, five square miles.

P.S., Das, please figure the outcome of the battle

I´ll take Alaska:

Alaska:
Capital City: Anchorage
Government: Democracy
Ruler: President Rex (IceEye)
Military Strenght: Small army, large navy, small aviation.
Tech. Level: Medium Modern
MPPs: With WSNA (North American Freedoms (NAF))
In War With:
Notes: Has tanks, U-Boats and works on Atom-Bomb.


President Rex won the elections with 74%. His opponent was the president that ruled the 5 years before. Pres. Rex promised that he would "put Alaska on the world map" and that Alaska should prosper during his period(s).
The first order from Pres. Rex was to increase fundings for the military. The military was working on a secret weapon that could, when finnished, cause mayor damage.
Pres. Rex ordered the creation of 1 long-distance Aircraftcarrier. It should be ready in 2 years(8 rl days). President Rex also ordered the enlargement of the small army that Alaska posessed. It should be ready within 1 1/2 year(4-6 rl days).

Excuse me, SKILORD, but... I've taken Russia, or else I would not have witten Sergei in there.

Oh and IceEye: YES I DO INTEND TO DO IT REALISTIC.

Battle at Brest: British have succsfully taken beachead in Brittany, even as they could have simply invaded from Normandy which was in their control since WWI.

"Rodina!" - exlaimed Chervakov - "It's our golden age, whic was restored after Great Depression. We won WWI! But we won at large cost. We however condemn Greek and French recent agressions, like annexation of Republic of Sicily, forcing the withdrawal of Russian and German occupation troops from Georgia, and now - war against Hungary and Netherlands. We would not fight, but we will support Germany and UK economically, since we have right to as a sovereign nation."

Russia proclaimed Armed Neutrality with the Axis Powers. But Sergei was also considerign other options...

ooops! i'm sorry.

What about the netherlands?

To: The British government
From: Chancellor Frederich Zumbusch
Subj: Russia, Greece

TOP SECRET

I do beleive it would be in our best interests that we keep Russia out of this war. In the Great War, as you remember, Russia was able to take Chechnya & the Southern Ukraine from the Greeks, as well as other territory. I do not want the Russians to have a chance at Constantinople or the Dardenelles. Such a thing would cause a balance of power that would be unfavourable to us.

On the subject of greece, do your best to drive them out of the Sinai penninsula and Iraq. Let's keep them nice and landlocked.

/TOP SECRET

------------------

With that, the Chancellor ordered his armies to take a full scale attack on Gibraltar and Libya. He then ordered the remaining armies to fortify on the Franco-German borders.

Damn, all the good nations are taken!

Das, why is it you always get the one with the huge army?

Okay, I'll take the Western States of North America, as President Franklin D. Roosevelt

OOC: Das, is it cool if I switch the name of the ESNA to the Virginian Empire? Oh, and are there specific number strengths for the 'small, medium, large' system?

RICHMOND EXAMINER - JULY 1937

EMPEROR RICHARD IV CORONATED AT GRAND PALACE IN RICHMOND, MOST NOBLES IN ATTENDANCE IN FIFTY YEARS.

Richmond, Virginia - The coronation of Emperor Richard Jefferson Cooper IV was held yesterday at the Grand Palace, marking the seventeenth emperor to take power, and the 100'th anniversary of the Empire.

Numerous nobles were in attendance, many important figures in the Imperial Council here in Richmond. Over 70 nobles were in attendance, from the Baron of Susquehanna and the Catskills, to the Marquis of the Carolina Coast. The Emperor took the oath at 12:12 pm, in accordance with tradition, and greeted crowds with the ceremonial scepter of state in hand at 1:00. The Emperor is the fourth of the Cooper family to hold the royal title, the first being Emperor Richard the Strong in 1889.

The Emperor delivered a short address to the Imperial Council at 3:30, outlining his vision for our glorious empire and the course it will follow during his reign.

"Our empire shall continue to stand as a testament to the excellence of imperial government when placed in the right hands. This empire has endured because the foundations are sound."

Speaking next on foreign policy, he added "I wish nothing but peace to exist during my reign, but any potential enemies of our empire must know that the Virginian's hand is always ready to take up the sword to defend themselves. With the nations that share this great continent and hemisphere, I wish to establish equitable and friendly relations."

The Emperor concluded his speech with the Holy Oath, and retired to the Grand Palace to begin his reign.
