Capto Iugulum: 1920 - 1939

To UK, Guangxi, Germany
From Russia


Why do you continue your war against China, when the Red Army, the true culprits of the Fireworks Massacre, now rise to your north? How can you justify this war as anything other than an imperialist land grab of opportunity?
 
From: Germany
To: Russia
CC: Japan


You are correct it would seem. We originally launched our aircraft in the area to support Guangxi in defeating the Red Army, which we believed to be in the state of China. I still believe China is the source for these rebellions, so while we still support Guangxi in spirit, the fact that the Red Army has seized control of so much land in Japan does indeed give us pause. We will contact Japan to see what aid we may provide them in pushing the illegitimate and bloodthirsty rebels back.
 
Colombia never signed the Rome Economic Pact.


On the other hand, Colombia hereby signs the Kipling Copyright Act, to further help secure the property of clients making use of the Canal.


Edit:
You remind people about your oil pipelines so often, it makes me think you're just bluffing and the pipelines run empty. :)

Shh. Colombia is totally an important country, what are you talking about.
Though at least now we know the pipelines aren't completely empty.
 
From: The Most Glorious People's Republic of China

To: The Most Nosy Autocratic German Union, The Failing Kingdom of Not So Great Britain and Ireland [as well as their Illegitimate Qing Dominion of Guangxi], and The Traitorous Empire of Japan and All Territories under their Despotic Rule



Get the hell out of China. No one wants you here, not the people of China under your illegitimate rule, not the people of China under the reign of General Yehao Ma to the west, and certainly not the people of China that rise behind the Glorious Red Revolution that the People's Republic brings against your imperialist states. The Germans have no reason to be here whatsoever, the British continue to prop up an illegitimate and failed Qing Autocracy who have lost the favor of the Chinese people, and the Japanese have ruthlessly pressed their own language, customs, and ideals upon the hard-working and glorious Chinese peoples. You have all been warned, get out of China now, and our retribution against you will be all the quicker and less painful. If you stay and fight, you shall feel the true might of all the free Chinese people against you.
 
To: Worker's Commonwealth of Scandinavia
From: The United States of America


We are sorely disappointed to see that the white people of Scandinavian have fallen for the negro's lies. Perhaps Scandinavia forgets that the UPRA is responsible for countless acts of sabotage against the USA. Perhaps Scandinavia forgets the atrocities committed by the red negro against whites, both within their own borders and during the War of Separation. Or perhaps Scandinavia simply does not care. Our actions against the UPRA are carried out in the knowledge that one of us must die. UPRA have no desire to coexist with the USA and since their inception the addled masses have been hypnotized by the witch doctor Scipio into believing that their way is just. They have bombed us, spied on us, and rallied the foolish into working against us. We act, ultimately, in our own self-defense. It is us or them.

To: Russia
From: USA


We are interested in negotiating another lend-lease arrangement like the last. We would like to order as much war material as possible.

To: Brazil
From: USA


We are interested in procuring some advanced Brazilian airplanes. We have heard that Brazil's aerocraftsmen are the finest in the world, and Brazilian values are undoubtedly in line with our own. Perhaps we can make a deal?
 
If India were not itself in the throes of proletarist insurgency we would surely join the fight against this global terror side by side with the Unionists and Japanese.
 
Colombia never signed the Rome Economic Pact.

ooc: Has not signed the Rome Economic Pact as of present to be precise. But it should seriously consider it. Oh and on that note, for the benefit of EQ and any other players considering the matter, invitations for those nations invited who have not signed up have not been rescinded (ergo are still extant) and any nation that desires to join and has not been invited formally merely has to request entry to the pact and they will be considered and likely accepted (unless they are prole ofc).
 
From: Germany
To: The Most Glorious People's Republic of China


Germany would like to say that Chinese independence and self-government is an honorable goal in and of itself. If that was the only occurrence here, Germany would in all honesty not have anything to do with China unless to support the movement. What we take issue with are your methods. You are, in many ways, worse than the nations you claim to oppose. You sow terror, destruction, murder, and more. How can any sane government honestly support such things? The philosophy that "The End Justifies the Means" is valid only if you have something else to justify the end, which I do not see.

So my question to China is this: If, in freeing yourself from oppression, you become a tyrant yourself, does that really free your people?

To United States
From Russia


We hope your purchase is to your liking thus far and is performing as promised. We shall send you a communique in regards to what else we have for sale and the pricing thereof.

OOC: @EQ- Working on the obsolete doctrines and units right now. So far, Tibet is the only nation still using a 19th century doctrine

This can and will be arranged.
 
From: Workers' Commonwealth
To: United States of Aggression

Race is another lie perpetrated by the plutocratists to divide mankind so that it may be more easily exploited. Your war of unprovoked aggression will leave your nation in ruins. So long as the United States fosters violence abroad it shall remain a dictatorship in the eyes of man and God. All men are equal before the law and before the Lord, and they shall be judged according to their deeds. Your misdeeds are heinous. We intend to see the world will not forget them.
 
To: Germany
From: Unified Realm of China

Better a Chinese tyrant than one imposed from abroad. Better still the Unified Realm, of course.

We would not harm you for all the world, friends, but you are standing where we are about to shoot.

Oh certainly, Germany must shout out the People's own mildly heinous, but necessary deeds of our Revolution but turns a blind eye to the glaring terrorist crimes of Japan this year against the innocent civilians of the People's Republic, using both conventional and chemical weapons against several cities that were once under their own control.

You also seem to forget that during the Great War, China was no more than a simple battlefield for the violent and barbaric armies of the Imperialist West and Japan, both of whom used gas weaponry and heavy artillery in copious amounts not only against each other, but also against key population centers in China.

Please do tell us how much worse any of our acts of 'terror, destruction, murder, and more' were compared to the Zell or Prussian massacres committed by you Westerners, or if such acts of ours even exist.

We are in no way whatsoever worse than the nations we oppose.

To: The Nation of Gabon, The Free Army of Mali, The Republic of Greater Tunis, and The Republic of Chad

Congratulations for throwing off the shackles of Western Imperialism and for helping to show the world that the sun has truly set upon these European Empires.
 
TO: UPRA and Jamaican Syndics
FROM: Brazil
CC: Caribbean Nations


We demand the immediate withdrawal of UPRA soldiers from the island of Jamaica and the overturning of that island to a republican government. Failure to comply will result in a Brazilian invasion of Jamaica and the ousting of Proletarist forces.

TO: Brazil
FROM: Mayaland

The Mayan people support you in your endeavor.
 
From: Germany
To: People's Republic of China


I do not mean to say we Westerners, nor the Japanese, have acted better throughout history. Crimes against innocents are deplorable, not matter when or where they occur. Your own movement is simply an example of this that happens to be in the Far East. Can you guarantee your men have never shot a civilian? Raided innocents for food or supplies? How about interrogation and torture used to find information? Can you honestly tell me your movement is nothing but righteous men spurred to heroic and goodly action for the betterment of all?

I simply find this difficult to believe.
 
OOC: Thanks for taking the time to respond to this.


Notice from The Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition to the Faithful in General and the People of Catalonia in Particular.

The Inquisition has become aware of an anti-Catholic work by the proletarist and secularist author Aleix Oros called "sixteen day storm" which slanders the sacred priesthood, promotes the abomination that is homosexual behaviour, sympathetically and actually treats positively the unnatural and evil perversion of incest and generally promotes immorality and diabolical perversion. This work ultimately as its object seeks to attack the Catholic Church and Our Lords teachings and seeks the subversion of natural morality in favour of unnatural and destructive perversions. It reflects the irrational, unreasonable and disgusting absurdity of the so-called "Occitanian humanism" which in truth is nothing more than a crude philosophical justification for proletarism, egotistical radical individualism and the corruption of society. It reflects likewise the pernicious influence of the corrupt proletarist regime of Catalonia, the nation of which is increasingly reaping the results of the philosophical absurdity and moral depravity that so afflicts its ruling class. Such a philosophy as the Catalonian government promotes, and which this book even more starkly seeks to disseminate, is not humanistic in any sense of the word precisely in that it harms the social order and the well-being of individuals in this life and degrades the dignity of the human person, and also in that it places souls at grave risk of eternal damnation in hell thus hindering their ultimate end.

As such this work has been placed on the Index of Prohibited Books and all Catholics are morally bound to refrain from reading this abominable work for the good of their souls and the souls of others. Understanding that a mind that produced such a work must truly be seriously damaged, The Holy See also requests that Catholics pray for the conversion of Aleix Oros that he may repent of his error and be cured by divine grace of his insanity and be led on the way to eternal life. We also convey the decision of the Prefect of the Inquisition, His Holiness Pope Pius X, that for the medicinal well-being of Mr Oros that he may contemplate repentance, and so that there may be no confusion more broadly amongst those scandalised as to the heresies and errors contained in his works, that Mr Aleix Oros has been from this point onwards publically declared excommunicated from the Catholic Church and as such is forbidden from the life-giving sacraments.

Finally we call on the Catalonian people to prayerfully reflect on the immoral vice which has caused in the world today so many problems, economically and politically, especially in your own country and open your hearts to Christ, the salvation of mankind. Open your hearts to Him who is Love and is Truth itself and convert your own lives according to his ways. For only in Him can one find true freedom, and hope to achieve the good. Many who rule over you, deny this truth and in their ignorance have invoked the consequences due their error. Indeed some uphold secretly or at least condone implicitly the sinful and indeed diabolical insanity, and it is indeed insanity as any right thinking individual should comprehend, that Mr Oros has publically espoused, those sins of sodomy and incest which call out to heaven for vengeance and invoke divine wrath upon those nations which condone such perversion. Understanding this, we implore all men of goodwill to understand the moral imperative that rests on the shoulders of every individual to seek the good and reject and cast down the evil, no matter what emotionalistic guise it puts on to deceive people into thinking evil is good. You, the Catalonian people must, must choose to uphold the light of reason, and tear down what is evil by upholding what is moral, what is righteous and what is pleasing to Christ our Lord in your own lives and in the public realm for your own good personally spiritually and temporally, and collectively as a nation. For as it is written the wages of sin is death and this is the ultimate outcome of depravity in social life. The evidence that this is so is clear for all the world to see with the recent incidents in your own nation, and more generally in many places around the world where the philosophical absurdities of the age have taken root.

~ Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition


From the the publishers of Sixteen Day Storm,
To the author of Sixteen Day Storm, Aleix Oros


NOW we're really going to get rich!

From author of Sixteen Day Storm, Aleix Oros
To the Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition

during a public speaking address on the nature of the 'anti-romantic' movement given to students and faculty of the Literature department at the University of Bordeaux, Occitania

"...And, as I have addressed repeatedly, and which the Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition seems to forget, neither I, nor the Sixteen Day Storm, advocate Incest or homosexuality in the Curch per se. Anti-romanticism in general and Sixteen Days in particular simply asks the reader to consider the context, to examine with open eyes to the particulars of the human experience. The Church is so quick to dismiss the social movement of proletarianism- and does so based on a variety of ideological and theologically well-researched reasons but none of these fails to consider the individual. I have spoken with the factory worker who is juggling his doubts regarding the Church that would disown him and his own, open-eyed, experiences with the beneficial hand of proleterianism in his own life. Effectively Sixteen Day Storm is the limit of that sort of examination. It is human. It is personal. It is anti-ideological. It is anti-theological. It is anti-romantic. It is, effectively, the days and lives of humans not so unlike us.

"Yes- you in the third row?"
 
ooc: don't forget the Xinjing Massacre and what that involved, you know, that event which sparked the current wars in China in which millions have died.

I'm sorry. We had to take some time off to laugh at this remark of yours. You in your previous message specifically that we are "worse than the nations you claim to oppose", and you now redact that claim once we argue a simple point? Of course we can't guarantee that our men have never shot a civilian, or raided innocents, or used torture. Almost no nation today can. Now can I ask if you can honestly tell me your movement is nothing but righteous men spurred to heroic and goodly action for the betterment of all, despite their crimes against a free peoples?

No.
