With the increasing tensions with Fascist Turkey, the United States continued sending a bigger military force to protect the nation of Ragusa and also to protect the US's own territory there.
Meanwhile, the US forces on the French front continued to wait until the French population in the conquered areas had calmed down before continuing the offensive.
Off the coast of the city of Seattle on the eastern continent, a rumour began saying that someone was blockading the city and harassing fishermen off the coast.
People said that it was not a ship, but must have been a submarine.
But the US navy, distracted by the war, did not check to verify this rumour.
And for some unknown reason, both China and Turkey decided to join the United States in the war against France, even though China was fighting for their own life against the Aztecs.
The United States suspected that Turkey was hoping to gain territory because of her assistance.
And thus, a fierce naval and air battle ensued between French and Turkish forces.
And Turkish forces also began attacking the French ally, Sydney.But although they made some notable progress, the Turks were never able to capture Sydney, and eventually gave up on the idea.
The French eventually showed a little intent of a counter-offensive on the western front,
but once an American Armor Division arrived, they quickly retreated.
But finally, the French began an effort to break through American defenses on the eastern front, but their offensive was halted in it's tracks.
Although the French continued to shell American positions on the eastern front with artillery fire, they were never able to break through.
Meanwhile, things were looking bleak for the Chinese, who only had one remaining stronghold on their home continent, and it looked like it would inevitably fall.
During the war with France, there was a little while when tensions with the Ottomans got a little better.
But before the war was over, tensions had once more gotten worse.Furthermore, the Ottomans also began saying that even though the United States said it was trying to do what was right for the world, that it's government was really lying, and that the US itself was being a warmonger.
And during all this, Japan decided that despite the differences between the ideology of the two nations, they wished to form an alliance with the US, perhaps fearing another war with the Aztecs, and looking for an ally.
The US government barely even considered any offer of an alliance with Communists, and this one was the same-rejected.
Eventually, the last Chinese city on the eastern continent fell to the Aztecs.The Chinese surrendered, and the Aztecs only allowed them to retain territory on an island between the two continents.
And while planning the final stages of the war with France at the Pentagon,
the American high command finally decided to continue the offensive.
American forces moving in for the attack on Rouen.
With the American army in place, the United States tried once again to get the French to give up the city from where they got their uranium.
When the French government refused, the American army began pouring down missile artillery fire down on Rouen.
And the battle of Rouen was won before the month was up.
But while American forces were attacking Rouen, the French decided on one last ditch offensive to try to take back what they could.But it did not succeed.
The French also tried even heavier artillery bombardment on the eastern front, and although they did some damage, they still were not able to completely break through the American defenses.(Sorry, no picture for either of these events.Too much trouble with this internet the way it is right now.)
