ClassicIOT: Cold War

[Polyblank]

We sent troops to stabilize the area without realizing the the UAR was moving in; a misunderstanding. Our soldiers will be withdrawn immediately.

Let it be so then. The embargo will be lifted and trade between the USSR and the UAR will flow normally just like before this unfortunate situation occured.

 

[Mosher]

While we hope to remain on good terms with the International, we would be remiss to not put our support behind the Good People of Poland. The People have spoken, and we hear their word.

Just as many Soviet citizens live in this territories as Polish, and their voices have not been heard. There was no democratic process in the secession, just one of violence and terrorism.

 

[Terran Empress]

That you answered with continued violence.

 

[Mosher]

That you answered with continued violence.

I haven't taken any military action against the rebels yet, have I? What violence have I committed against them?

 

[Terran Empress]

I haven't taken any military action against the rebels yet, have I? What violence have I committed against them?

You forcefully put them down last time, and you directly stated that you were going to go to war with them the moment you found out about the rebels. You failed to even CONSIDER talks with them, you went straight for war.

 

[Mosher]

We put down a riot last year, like any reasonable central government would do. In terms of war, the Soviet Union is defending itself, like any reasonable central government would do. Not even a shot has been fired yet.

If you truly want to avoid war, you would come to the negotiation tables with me.

 

[Mosher]

To Poland:

We offer the following deal, in the interest of securing peace in our time.

1. All Soviet core lands seized by Polish rebels will be returned to the Soviet Union.

2. The Soviet Union will relent its stance on Odessa and permit Poland to claim it for itself

3. Poles living inside of the rebellious territories will be allowed full access to emigrate to Poland proper

 

[Terran Empress]

Poland Accepts this deal.

We are glad that cooler heads and that ultimately diplomacy, not guns or war, won the day.

We only wish that it could have happened sooner.

Peace in our Time!

It is a quiet evening in Madrid. As you're walking through the La Latina barrio, you are enamoured into the sublime beauty of the San Francisco el Grande Basilica...

Suddenly. Your ears are rocked by a mighty explosion; what your eyes however are seeing is unbelievable! The dome of the basilica is slowly collapsing, as the structural integrity is collapsing.

You don't believe what you're seeing; what your eyes are seeing is a travesty, an insult to God himself.

Suddenly, on the street, a raving maniac appears. A being, no more human, is dancing with movements that only possessed and the lunatics are able of. Singing on the top of his lungs the dreaded Marseillaise, without breath, then screaming "I DID IT! I DID IT! THE FASCES NOW KNOW FEAR!".

Anger overtakes you. With holy might brought by God himself, you punch him in the face, right as he was beginning to sing "Liberty, cherished Liberty". Then you hear yourself saying "May God have mercy on your soul, commie.".

As you drag his unconscious body to the nearest intelligence office, you know what the solution is. And who must be punished. For that this heresy will be soon cured...

On the other day...
"This is Radio Espana, bringing you the latest news. A terrifying terrorist attack happened in San Francisco el Grande Basilica during the evening Mass. At least a hundred are confirmed dead. French terrorist caught by a wary citizen nearby. This will not go unpunished."
----------

Obviously, this is a declaration of war against France. I call to my allies to join me...

 

[KaiserElectric]

"Esteemed members of the Landtag, I regret to inform you that on this dark hour, innocent blood has been spilt on the streets of Madrid.

In an act of terrorism so egregious that it defies all manner of sense and civility, the San Francisco el Grande Basilica has been razed to the ground by a terrorist plot. As I stand before you, Spanish authorities have confirmed that nearly a hundred innocent men, women, and children have lost their lives to an act of utter cruelty and destruction. And the instigators of this vicious crime? Agents of the French communist state, loudly singing La Marseilles to all who could here them following the carnage.

This act of barbarism cannot go untested, not after this moment. What we decide now will send a message to all the nations of the world and inevitably decide the identity of our great nation. Will we be a weak, submissive nation, turning the other way as criminals and anarchists posing as nations continue their acts of terrorism? Or will we be a strong nation, the vanguard of order against the chaos that lurks in the shadows, waiting to slaughter more innocents in the name of their twisted philosophies? Will we surrender to fear and cower within our borders, or will we be the vanguard, the valiant knight standing in defense of the innocent?

I leave that option to you, noble members of the Landtag, for I request a declaration of war on the nation of France."

-Kaiser Ferdinand's brief speech following the terrorist attack in Madrid. The vote was unanimous.

 

[e350tb]

Great Britain strongly condemns the nation of France for allowing it's citizenry to attack Spanish soil. Unless the French government disavows this attack and brings those responsible to justice, there will be no further trade nor dialogue between our two nations.

Orders:
- Invest 8IP in Bermuda.
- Build three factories for 24IP.
- Build a fleet and an air wing.
- Bank the remainder.

 

[Omega124]

Demanding a one day extension for orders because seriously declaring a world war 2 AM in the morning when orders are due in Noon is seriously not cool. I can not do anything remotely sensible without consulting people who are alseep and will be such until after the lock

Not sending orders in out of protest if there is no extension

 

[KaiserElectric]

In retrospect my actions were wrong, not in good taste, and extremely scummy. Dunno if I'm still going to quit or not, but I support a turn extension either way.

All I can do is offer my apologies to Megs for having to deal with this and promise the IOT community that I'll do better in the future.

 

[Terran Empress]

Honestly I agree with megan, an extension is needed in this situation.

 

[Mosher]

The USSR will naturally support its brothers and sisters in arms in the wonderful land of France.

Ask and ye shall receive.

But I can't lock tomorrow.

Orders lock Noon Tuesday.

Tactical Use of Nuclear Weapons Enabled.

Err, Prussia is apparently resigning, so it technically no longer exists.

Apparently not.
