Universal Newsreel - Wayne Speaks to the People - 2 February 1936
I have had the privilege of leading America for four going on five years now. They have not been easy times and it has not been an easy job.
No President has an easy job. But the urgency with which I have pursued my policies, pushing this great country towards new and better things, has been a burden. I now understand that the job of an evangelist is not easy task.
Because of luck divine intervention as some have termed it Governor Dent and I have gained some prominence in this great nation. But the strength of the nation cannot just come from us. We may make plans and pass legislation to help our fellow Americans. But the job of getting things done, of pushing through, comes from the people.
When I sat down this morning with my cabinet, I sat next to a man who has worked in service to his country for twenty long years. I have no doubt he has done it for the love of his country. His patched suit tells me as much. He like me, like you all believes in America. I would ask that you keep believing in America in the days that follow.
I try to think of my office and duty, not as putting a dollar into everyone's pocket, or making someone Governor or General, but as a sacred duty to uplift the American people body and soul, better standards of living, greater happiness to the people, an upwelling of the faith that makes America great.
In this hour of darkest need, I ask you Americans all to choose America. You have done so all your lives, do not waver now when your Motherland calls in direst need.
I ask you all to rise now and say with me the Pledge of Allegiance to reaffirm our commitment to America:
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
And now, please join me in singing It Is Well With My Soul as we ask the Lord's intercession through the trials to come:
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know or say
It is well, it is well, with my soul...

Soldiers of the 1st Armored, 29th Infantry Division, 126th Cavalry Regiment, 110th Field Artillery Regiment and my own 108th Infantry Regiment
(Roars from the 108th Infantry Regiment)
I am glad you are all here with me today.
Let me now speak frankly to you.
I intend that we whip this rebellion into submission.
(Roars from the crowd)
For some years, I held to the notion that the United States could win over her domestic critics. That through moderation and good government all our divisions could be put to rest.
Not two years ago, I pushed a forest of legislation through the Senate with the assistance of the Senators out West. Good reforms. Pensions, workers insurance, health insurance.
Last year, I recognized the necessity of trusts, indeed I said as much and it cost me a great many votes. But I choose the good of the country over my political career.
For the last five years, I have supported the common man. You're all working men in your other lives. What say you?
(Wayne! Wayne! Wayne!)
Soldiers I resisted the siren's call of war. I negotiated in good faith. But you can't negotiate when the other side throws in that he'd like to have your wife to!
(Laughter)
Do you know what I said to them and Governor Dent can confirm this for you.
(Dent! Dent! Dent!)
I do say. Well I can see the Governor's own 110th are excited.
(The 110th lets out a roar)
You know what I said? I said: To hell with you, Kent. You couldn't win an election and that's a simple thing. I've done it twice now and I'm about as dull as they come.
(Laughter)
And then I said, if you can't win an election you sure as shoot can't win a war.
(Laughter)
It gets better, boys. I wagered him $10's there and then. I said, you win I'll give you $10. Plain and simple. Hell I'll even give it over to the safekeeping of your friend the German ambassador.
(Laughter)
He didn't take the bet. Can you believe that?
(Laughter)
This is the kind of man who wants to overthrow this government. Your government. Not much of a man is he?
(Laughter)
He's not the only one, boys. In Madison I'm sad to report, we have us a plague of Germans.
(Laughter)
Stahlhelms and all.
(Laughter)
Those spikey helmets don't a man make. You see, this morning I was informed that the Reds had hung the Cardinal of Boston from his own spire. The good Cardinal was an invalid wheelchair bound. General Clark informed me that this and the other crimes these animals have committed are going to be punished. Clark in that same call promised that he was going to send this particular plague straight to hell!
(Cheers)
Now in the Old Dominion we have us a green grocer, a tobacconist, dopey the dwarf
(Laughter)
I jest, I jest. I do the dwarf a disservice comparing him to Mr Chesterfield.
Mr Disney, I apologize for that and the rough treatment that the traitors out West gave you. I'm glad your here and I'm looking forward to seeing the new films your preparing to show what it is we're fighting for.
Now back to the Old Dominion. General Armstrong, a good man I dare say, has been misled by evil council and his patriotism turned against these glorious United States.
But that is quite fine. General Patton who was lately of the National Guard in that part has promised to drag Mr Chesterfield out of the hole the Secret Service says he's hiding in and give General Armstrong a knock on the head hard enough to restore him some sense.
(Laughtera)
I would say something about the folks up in New Caledonia but all I think the United States has lost from that part of the world is clams and lobster.
(Laughter)
But don't you worry boys, General Marshall has promised me he'll bring you some.
(Cheers)
General Marshall he's a good man. Loyal to a fault. When the traitors approached him and asked him to defect, do you know what he said? Nothing. He swung a right hook and put the traitor on his behind.
(Laughter)...

NEWS TICKER- Kingdom of Italy announces total mobilization of the Italian economy, an unprecedented measure in modern times.

Chairman-General Johann Reyher
Johann Reyher (born Johann Friedrich Hieronymus Freiherr von Reyher, May 11, 1881) is the current Chairman-General of the German Federalist Alliance and the Field Marshal of the Bundesallianzwehr. In 1894 he joined a cadet academy and, upon graduation with distinction, joined the military as an adjutant in 1898. Being a member of the military staff, he quickly rose in rank, partially thanks to his family ties (his fathers protection, however, was out of question, since general Karl von Reyher died of pneumonia in 1889). In the first days of the Second Franco-Prussian War he volunteered to the frontline and was put in command of the 3rd Jäger Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment as Oberstleutnant. He quickly distinguished himself in the Battles of Metz and Hattigny and was promoted to the rank of Oberst (Colonel) on June 20, 1910. During the final successful Charleroi offensive (early winter 1911) he led the German infantry in the famous attack on Flerus (an account that seems to exaggerate his heroics, since Reyher had a reputation of a meticulous planner and not of a dashing leader), but was wounded by a shell fragment during the final push on the Fort XII. Death of general von Bulow, the commander of Korps.VIII, however, gave Reyher a lucky chance to exercise his organizational skill. Despite the wound, he took charge of tactical and operational command in the sector and managed to prevent the German attack from disintegration. Despite its limited operational gains, the Battle of Charleroi earned von Reyher a reputation of a war hero and a brilliant officer, something that he later seemed to be weary of in his private letters to his mother. Temporarily returning to Germany to recover from his wounds, he met the German Collectivist Revolution of 1912 in his estate during a short home visit. He was briefly imprisoned (early March-mid August) by the local provisional Communist authority as an officer and a member of nobility, but later described his imprisonment as an enforced vacation, because the militioneers that came to arrest him respected his war reputation and allowed von Reyher to stay in the family estate until full recovery under the wardens supervision. Russian invasion of 1913 changed his position completely. Hoping to capitalize on his status of a war hero and utilize his skill of a an experienced HQ officer, the provisional authorities extended him an offer to join the All-Union military forces in the moment of foreign intervention (an offer that was simultaneously made to at least two dozen high-ranking officers at the same time). Being one of the first (and most reputable) of those that agreed to collaborate, Reyher quickly took a position of an unofficial head of the Emergency Military Council of the East. Turning the makeshift command structure into an organized and well-run network of command and reversing democratization of the remnants of the German military, Reyher managed to shield Berlin by organizing defense of Frankfurt-on-Order from an overextended Russian offensive (December 1913-February 1914). He then orchestrated a brief encirclement of the entire 16th Corps of the Russian Imperial Army around Cottbus (even though full annihilation of the Russian troops was prevented by their timely breakthrough). What cemented Reyhers reputation of a rising star of the army was the Sprint to the Oder, a quickly put-together offensive that destroyed remaining Russian bridgeheads to the west from the Oder river and established a solid defensive perimeter against any further Russian aggression.
Post-war, Reyhers position was far from being secured. His glorious reputation was immediately shattered by a smear campaign run by the civil leader of the so called Brandenburg Council Republic Arthur Bauhmann. The campaign, however, put Bauhmann into the odds with a growing wing of old regime collaborators invaluable for the young German socialist state. Eventually, Bauhmann fell victim to his own cabinet games and was ostracized during the III All-Union Party Rally in 1919. In the prolonged Prussian Interim period (1919-1922), during which the territory of the modern German Federalist Alliance was neither under full control of local councils nor directly responding to Frankfurt or Munich, these were Reyher and his old Western Front acquaintance Frederick Lassow that became the leaders of the Wiedervereinigung (reconciliation, reunion) movement aiming to bring the order to Brandenburg and Saxony by allowing wide-spread cooperation and collaboration of reactionary and progressive forces for the sake of national security and reconstruction. Being a much better orator and an avid nationalist with anti-Semitic views, Lassow enjoyed temporary spike in popularity between 1921 and 1926, when his public speeches in front of paramilitary bands of patriotic youth and disillusioned veterans outlined the idea of a strong Nationalist Socialist state. Pushed to the shade of Lassows power ride, Reyher dedicated his efforts to quietly rebuilding the states bureaucracy, police, and officer corps. That groundwork came in handy when Lassow caused a scandal during the V All-Union Party Rally in 1926 by significantly diverting in his speech from the principles of mainstream socialism and even calling a full reversal of weak-willed cosmopolitanism in German politics. Having struck a backroom deal with the enraged Wolfgang Jager and a then-influential clique of Bavarian publicists and social activists, Reyher used his administrative connections to start a series of criminal cases against Lassow, followed up with a crackdown on his paramilitary groups. Lassows own bombastic personality ultimately proved to be his main weakness: sure in his popularity and loyalty of his supporters, he never bothered to hold an actual state position and was not even formally a member of the Nationalist Socialist party that he so inspired. Once Lassow was out of his way, Reyher quickly solidified his power, stopping Frankfurts and Munichs attempts to turn the Prussian political crisis into a premise for a power grab.
Late 1920s were the time final formation of what is today known as the German Federalist Alliance under Chairman-General Reyher. Once the Fortschrittistpartei was created as an ideological ally of his rule, Reyher gave away the reigns over that side of political life to more eager and younger socialist and futurist politicians, while preserving his de-facto control of the state apparatus and the military.

Even though Brazil refuses to sign that "peace deal" the Americans offered us on the grounds that they're terrible, we recognize that the fighting has stopped for now.
Brazil is demobilizing to 60% in order to give its people some much-needed rest, but we must still be vigilant with the ports still blocked and an enemy still on the border.

The United States terms were moderate, gracious and offered in good faith and still stand. While it is a fact that a state of war and concomitant blockade exists between the United States and Brazil, the United States is disinclined to undertake further concrete action, without prejudice to the blockade which stands, provided that Brazil refrains from hostile actions against the United States and her allies.

They were demands. When you completely lost.
Why should we accept demands from a country we won on the field against while that country itself is currently destroying itself in a civil war?
We are ready and willing to talk peace, but until you come to a negotiation table for a peace that is mutually agreed upon, there will be no such peace. While you are unwilling to negotiate a peace we can view as fair, a state of war will remain.

I'm announcing that I'll be dropping blackened skies for the duration of Ramadan, which is ten more days. Sorry, I just don't feel energetic or motivated enough to write orders while I am hungry and thirsty. I will pick this game back up after eid, and while I don't expect the GMs to reserve Mexico for me, I do hope to come back to playing imperial Mexico after ramadan
