Chapter 3: Oil and Prosperity
Oil, until the beggining of the 20th century, was a fuel as important as any other as it did not bring any advatges. Then the tanks, and the cars, and modern society, all needed oil.
Despite Argentina conquered one of the richest territories in the world, the oil was located on Korean China. Emperor Joseph II did not want to go at war with Korea yet. He considered other targets apt for conquering.
Indonesia had the oil he needed. Not only that, but it was a weaker target than Korea, who could make a surprise upgrade to his seemingly outdated army. Indonesia's army was outdated and could not possibily compete with Argentina's army, who was ready to wipe the Indonesian nations out fo existance.
The army was waiting on Singapore for the oportune moment to strike. When they had enough supplies, that was when Emperor Joseph II declared war on Singapore. The casus belli was that the Indonesian goverment backed up the CLA. This was false however, and the images that Argentina put of Indonesian armies on the CLA were smartly retouched by picking random captured photos from the CLA, then adding chinese soldiers more tan and adding the Indonesian army flag instead of the CLA symbols. However, the reason behind it, was, as stated previously, simply to get the oil from the indonesians.
The war went much easier for Argentina that on China. That was becauuse cities could be bombarded from the sea as they were entirely coastal and within short time, Westren Indonesia fell to Argentina.
The war was very short. Like on China, Indonesia used outdated troops that were easily defeated. There is not much to tell here except that soon Indonesian goverment collapsed and that Argentine troops were in control of the whole archipielago.
After the fall of Indonesia to Argentine troops, Emperor Joseph II died shortly afterwards, probabily after being poisoned by an indonesian that was working on the palace.

At first, it seemed that Argentina finished off Indonesia in vain. Afterall, they couldn't exploit what they came from. However, after the discovery of Plastics, they could grab their loot. After the death of Joseph II, his son, Juan I "The Idle" took over.
By then, politics on the world began to show their failure, and WWI broke out. I can't remember the factions at WWI, but many were involved including Korea, Austria, Brazil, etc.
While the world was beating eachother to death and Stalin was nuking the hell out of everyone, Argentina was reaching a golden age.
Well, almost. Guerrilla organizations like the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), ILF (Indonesian Liberation Front) and many other parties began to sabotage the Argentine Empire. There were never direct confrontations ever since the end of their respective conflicts though but they were always active, ready to destroy the Argentine infraestrucure.
Here's the fun pic of the day.

There wasn't really much to tell here, I don't know how I'm going to flesh out the fact that Argentina was having a boom. Episode 4 is also going to be short and with few images since when I was playing I forgot to take them. I was enjoying...
Also I'm preparing a new story for you guys set on the medieval ages.
