Blackened Skies

The formation of a new Bureau

In an effort to increase the efficiency of our intelligence and police force cooperation, they are henceforth merged into the Nederlandsche Onderzoeksdivisie (Dutch Research Division, NOD). The goals of NOD are simply to effect a more efficient cooperation to find criminals, rabble-rousers and terrorists. The NOD is willing to cooperate with foreign forces to this extent.

This is now the 24 hour warning for orders

Goddamn it, now how am I supposed to get orders in within twenty four hours? This changes everything.
 
I'd have thought the fact that I'm now involved and can roll more troops into Mexico than there are standing soldiers and reserves on both sides of the Civil War without breaking a sweat might have changed things more. :dunno:
 
In fairness to Nuke, I wanted the announcement to happen earlier.
 
A Declaration from the office of Prime Minister Tom Black

292px-Royal_Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_%28HM_Government%29.svg.png



By the will of her Grace the Queen, we are at war. Her Majesty's Loyal Government exists to serve her will and the will of her subjects, and we shall carry out that will with unrelenting force. The wars that ravage the globe shall not be allowed to impact the citizens of this great nation, and thus, we declare that the full might of the Royal Navy will enforce peace on the high seas. The Straits of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, the Straits of Malacca shall remain open to trade and commerce, and no nation shall make attempts to close these vital passageways to serve their own agendas.

Furthermore, with regards to the passage of materials on British ships across the Pacific, the government announces a moratorium on British shipping of German goods across the Pacific into the South American theatre. Regardless of the official stances of governments involved, the British Empire desires no involvement in the potential shipping of arms to Socialist rebels. British merchant ships shall not carry German goods across the Pacific until the cessation of hostilities in Brazil.

Finally, the British government affirms and reinforces its friendship and camaraderie with the state of Argentina. British-Argentine trade is vital to both our economies, and we shall work earnestly to preserve relations between our two nations. British ships shall ensure the safety of Argentine shipping and the ability of Argentine ships to traverse the high seas in peace and safety.

In these dark times, we look to our Queen for guidance, and our Lord Above for guidance. God bless the Queen, and God bless the United Kingdom.
 
This is the less than 24 hour warning for orders
 
Having regard to the situation in Mexico and desirous of peace, stability and growth in our near neighbour, the United States Government has accepted an exchange of diplomatic notes, through the good offices of the French consul in New Orleans. The mutual terms agreed between the United States Government and the Government of the Oxacanan Commune for the resolution of the present conflict, with honour are as follows:
  • Military personnel of the Oaxacan Commune will lay down their arms.
  • A general amnesty will be offered by the Government of National Unity to all Commune military personnel who lay down their arms and civil servants and functionaries, with prejudice.
  • The Government of National Unity will also allow a certain number of Oaxacan to join the newly constituted Ejército Mexicano as a gesture of good faith.
  • The Oaxacan officials and military personnel who desire to leave Mexico will be allowed to leave for a neutral country under the express protection of the President of the United States.
  • The United States will immediately withdraw 200,000 troops, excluding 50,000 troops in Northern Mexico to support the Ejército Mexicano in supressing the bandit problem and a garrison of 50,000 left in Vera Cruz to ensure the terms are fulfilled.
  • The United States will provide any and all assistance required by the Government of National Unity to facilitate an orderly, non-violent transfer of power.
  • The United States will provide the Government of National Unity with 30 EP to help with national reconstruction, with subsequent assistance provided based on need.

The United States is currently blockading Red Brazil, Central America and the Commune. The United States is also requiring all ships, excluding British ships, sailing to Argentina to submit to a search in a neutral port for contraband intended to support Red Brazil. The United States has also undertaken to intern such German shipping as the United States Navy finds on the high seas due to its belligerent hostility on the Continent.

The Democratic Socialist Republic of Mexico fully agrees to these measures and submits this addendum to the outlined plan - socialists will enjoy the rights guaranteed to all Mexican citizens without infringement, although known socialists may not form their own party or run for national government.

The true Anarchist Cause rejects the Commune's surrender to the hated United States. It calls upon all forces of the Commune to mutiny and take up arms against the puppets of International Capital and Autocracy that tyrannise all people!

We hereby proclaim the formation of the Mexican Anarchist Polities, with the surrender of the Commune the only legitimate government of Mexico. All the People shall rise up against the jackboots of oppression and tyranny. We urge all Mexicans, under the thumb of whichever tyrant crushes them, be they the puppets of Sonora, the tyrannical imperialists, or even the weaklings of the Commune who betray their cause and people for the scraps from the American table! Drive the tyrants from their homes and back to America! Force them out! Take back the ancient freedoms owed to all men and women!

Raise high the black and red flag! Death always to tyrants!

USA! USA! USA!
 
Work on the update has begun, and orders are now officially going to be marked as late. I will still accept orders but if your section of the update has begun, I will only implement spending.

----

All in all very impressed I got the vast majority of orders on time, well done all :)
 
Well I'm pretty sure that this gonna be an interresting update.

The Royal Guard is already pretty busy and the smoke pillars in Bukarest are telling his majesty that they are doing good work.
I'm pretty sure that the stability problems will be solved by the end of this year. Or they will at least be pretty decimated.
*explosion in the distance*
Maybe giving them tanks wouldn't have been such a bad idea.
 
I clicked on a link to page 25 but page 25 doesn't exist anymore... Spooky

We are still haunted by the ghost of Gdi. Even after Tyo attempted to exorcise it.
