With the Northern War over, and American defeat absolute, the Khmer sought to expand their colonial holdings in the region, and so they attacked the newly Indian city of Delhi. Their overwhelming numbers, experience of their officers, and high morale of their soldiers brought a quick victory.
The Apache Empire, sensing weakness, demanded the American science of the military, the Americans refused, and instead proposed a trade: Military Science in exchange for gold and the steam engine.
Tired of the unhealthy conditions in Calcutta, and dissappointed with the slow construction of the aquaduct, unknown criminals burned the forge, costing the government 76,000 dollars in repairs.
New nations emerged, the Aztecs and the Argentinians. The Argentinians were willing to trade, and this proved mutually beneficial. Hoping to gain Arawak favor, the American king and his staff agreed to declare war on the Israeli nation. This proved to be the last decesion made in America by a king.
Tired of inept government, excessive taxes, and hopeless wars, the people of America launched a revolution. They created a democracy, headed by a president, with a blend of capitalist and socialist principals to guide the economy. The marxist social structure and freedom of religion were kept. The first speech of the first American president is as follows:
The king and his inefficient and outdated bureaucracy have held America back from its true potential. We have lost much of our land and prestige to foreign conqurers and the rebels they spawned. I hereby make it my sole duty to strengthen America into a global power, to take back the land that is rightfully ours, and to defeat the Khmer invaders. We stand at the dawn of a new era, and it is one where the American Republic reigns supreme.
Although the nationalism is obvious in the speech, and America lacked the resources to quickly industrialize and become a military power, it appealed to the people, and thousands joined the military.
Formal espionoge against the Khmer began with the new government, an entire division of spies worked in secret to weaken support for the government. It was hoped that enough acts would destabalize the empire and result in its collapse.
Still faced with general discontent among the population, the new American Republic decided a temporary purchase of Arabian luxery goods would calm the people until a more permenant solution could be implemented.
The commander of the spy division realized that the Khmer colonies were more likely to rebal, and so American espionoge activities shifted there.
New nations were met and befriended in these years, such as the Iroquois in 1754. New and more beneficial trade deals were negociated too. Instead of trading spices for cows with the Arawak, America not traded spices for popular musical compositions; cows were obtained from the Native Americans for cheaper corn.
On the eve of invasion, American sponsored propagande in Delhi brought some of the population to the American side. Believing the evils of the monarchy were over, a small segment of the poulation supported the following invasion of India, and by extention (due to India being a Khmer vassal) the Khmer Republic.
A songwrighter in Patalipurta, upon hearing of the conquest of Delhi, wrote a play with the battle as its central theme. Many saw it, and it became a cornerstone of American culture.
This is an unfinished part of the mod, it is supposed to be an event for good cake recipies in a cookbook.
Despite being in a war, the American public still prospered. An excellant cookbook was published in 1763 containing delicious recipies, and it sold in record numbers.
A Khmer amphibious invasion of Calcutta captured the city, however, American soldiers were quick to respond, and killed every single Khmer soldier with a cruel and terrifing rage for defiling their homeland. The fact that the ships (and only method of retreat) helped too, though this was not emphasized when the victory was reported to the public.
Oil. The key to a strong modern army. And the Khmer had a source in America, and America had none. American agents needed to destroy the wells pumping it, as the Khmer navy was destroying everything that the American navy could throw at it. After the war, oil could be used to make tanks, powerful ships, and airplanes. America could become strong with a source of oil...
A new nation had emerged: Vietnam. It was small and weak, fairly unimportant to America while fighting a war against a for with over 3 times America's military strength.
Chok Gargyar was the key to Khmer control of the oilfields. It was more of a military base than a city. The American army burned it to the ground. It is rumoured that captured gasoline was used in huge amounts to burn the place.
The new American government still recognised the importance of maintaining Arawak friendship. So it was decided a phony war with the small German nation now would save America from total destruction in a war with the Arawak later.
Propaganda campaigns similar to those staged in Delhi were broadcasted in Bombay with the hope of weakening Khmer control in the region.
Bombay was quickly captured. But everyone knew America could not hold it. Khmer reinforcements were not pouring in, not just in the north, but a large fleet of transports had been seen to the south. Fearing the destruction of the army, and a naval invasion; the American high command agreed to a peace treaty where Bombay went back to the Khmer. The Khmer though that they won, after all, the Indians had lost a city, not them, they only lost a small outpost. The Americans knew that they had won: they had oil, and the Khmer did not, unless they wanted to obtain it from expensive foreign sources. They also had Delhi back, although it had recieved extensive damage in the war years. So ended the Second Northern War.
Once again, this update is too large to fit on one post, part 2 is below.
