NES IV - Imperialism - TRY AGAIN

[das]

Rules: As usual, like in NES II or III, only you could decide will you play any of customly-choosed countries or some other nation, only please nothing too exotic – I am not a specialist on much of West African or Central American countries of period...

Also, each coutnry can make 3 game posts a day. This should save me from headache. Also, much of white natiosn are idnependent and could not be colonized by anyone. They could be conquered if Madame Fortuna is on your side through during the battles...

Oh and in battles, I use my secret system.

Oh and finally, I want to keep you free from history when it comes to deciding your leaders. Even the originals might change their names and all…

Introduction: I’ve decided to make something new – a historical NES.

The year - 1878. As the world is in Era of Imperialism, the Scramble For Africa, The Balkan Wars, The Rise of America, and Industrialization are the events that took place before and during the period.

NOTE: I haven’t added some African kingdoms that never had any known influence on history itself. I only placed those that did influence history of Age of Imperialism like Zulu and Zanzibar. Oh and finally, for any incorrect borders, my Atlas is to be blamed.

League of Three Emperors: Russia, Germany and Austro-Hungary.

FROM PRIME MINISTER LAZIANNI
TO KING VICTOR EMANNUEL III

I am really scared of French. They could grab a lot of land in Africa, your majesty. I am so happy to inform you that we have managed to establish colonies of Italian Somali and Italian West Africa.

 

[Dexter]

Ok I'll take control of Germany as Kaiser Fredrich.
Thanks

 

[Toasty]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am very happy that this has been restored, as it was my favorite (though you could probably tell by my post number in the first one ...)

Well, I've decided to try a new country this time around, and that would be the Netherlands, considering how Dutch I am. Seeing as posts are now limited, I'll have to stake out my foreign policy ASAP. Yuck.

By the way, it should be noted that the Netherlands was a Constitutional Monarchy at this point, and not a Republic.

Civilization Name: Netherlands
Ruler: King Wilhelm van Oranje X
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy
Tech Level: Late Industrial Age
Military Strength: Small army, small navy, no aviation
Type of Economy: Mainly Industrial
Annual Income: Medium

In wake of the death of the short-lived Dutch republic, King Wilhelm van Oranje X ascended to the throne of Holland. Commanding a great empire in Southeast Asia and a rich nation, he began to immediately enstate reforms in domestic and foreign policy.

"Seeing as the Netherlands holds the technology to make great profits from land, but doesn't have much land, our policy will have to be that of colonial expansion. Contact the Belgians on a possible union to increase our wealth and trade empire."

The King, in his imperial throne room, was dictating to his foreign, domestic and military advisors.

"Broadcast to greater Europe that the Netherlands will officially proclaim her neutrality in conflicts on the main continent unless she is attacked. We don't need Germans on our stoop.

"Also, annex that little country on the tip of Sumatra in the Dutch East Indes. I don't know what it's called, and I don't care to, but I want it crushed and I want that land.

"Also, seeing as we're going for large colonial expansion, we should aquire land in the scramble for Africa. Land colonists on the mouth of the Congo River Valley. Since we'll be controlling a colonial empire, expansion of the navy should also begin as soon as possible."

The aides all left the room with their orders.

---

To: Kaiser Fredrich of Germany
The Netherlands, long known as a peaceful nation and a friend of the Germans, has never had any conflict with you and has none today. We seek friendship between our peoples as our blood runs close, and we are not interested in spilling either of them. We hope to bring mutual benefit and closeness through our relations with your country.

To: King of Belgium
Our countries have been one before, why not now? The union of our peoples could be the start of a great new monarchy, empire, and world power. We understand if you refuse, but ultimately I believe you and I have more to gain as Holland-Belgium than as Belgium or Holland alone.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

Id like to be Brazil this time... oh and dont worry, ill take it easier now, lol. My name will be Jimmy Conway.

 

[das]

BATTLE FOR AJEH was a success for Dutch, and they've managed to defeat the Sultanate of Ajeh.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

Brazil announces its 5 year plan to further industrialize its economy. Brazil would be happy to trade with any of the European or North American nations. Being a struggeling democratic republic, any aid will gratefully be accepted and technologies to help with the already ongoing process of industrializing our nation will be helpful. We are a somewhat poor country when it comes to money, but we have many natural resources and long hot sandy beaches.

As a wave of nationalism spread across the nation, Prime Minister Jimmy Conway announces his plan to unite the independent states of South America in to the freedom loving nation of Brazil. If they join Brazil volounteraly, their goverment will be spared and life will be easier on their civilians. The Army has set up recruitment offices in all major cities in Brazil, and the poor citizens will join the Army seing they have no other choise but to starve. This means Brazil should have a huge army in 5-6 years. Uruguay and Paraguay have been given 24 hours to surrender their inferior armed forces or Brazil will invade.

To: King Wilhelm van Oranje X of Holland
Brazil offers its friendly hand towards Holland. We welcome Holland to trade with us and set up companies. Brazil has many things to offer a great nation as Holland, many exotic types of wood for example. And we assure you that your colonies in South America will be left untouched.

To:Kaiser Friedrich of Germany
Brazil would like to be friends with great Germany, and would also like to trade/purchase weapons and ammunitions from Germany, seing as the German ingenuity makes great weapons. We would also like some peaceful trading to take place between our two countries.

OOC: das, can u post how many soldiers all army sizes have?

 

[Dexter]

Fredrich was crowned King of Germany on the 4 June 1878 following the death of his father Wilhelm. At only 28 he was still a young man but was highly decorated in military splendour after serving in the German army since he was sixteen.
Fredrich was determined to prove himself as a great military genius and to build Germany into the great world power he thought it should be.

25 June 1878: In a bid to show off his military prowess and to felx some German military power, the Kaiser declared war upon the independant states of Switzerland, Norway and Denmark. The announcement caused an uproar in parliament and Chancellor Peter Von Bergen was left with the long hard job of finding a good reason to give to the world for tyhe Kaiser's actions.
Though the decleration was recieved with cheers and celebration from the German population who were eager to see their country become victorious.

26 June 1878: Kaiser Fredrich departed with his army to conquer the lowlands of Denmark. He left the country in control of Chancellor Peter Von Bergen until his return after the war. The Chancellor seized on the chance and began with opening diplomatic ties with the world...


To: King Wilhelm van Oranje X And The Rulers Of Europe
From: Chancellor Peter Von Bergen
Subj: War In Europe
Our friends, we accpet your calls for peace between our nations and wish you well in the future. Though now we ask you to not be alarmed by our military movements. Germany only seeks to have peace in Europe and by invading these rogue states we shall help make this a possibility! We only seek to ensure a safer europe for our children to grow-up into, if that is so wrong then I do not know what is right...
Yours,
Chancellor Peter Von Bergen

To: Jimmy Conway of Brazil
From: Chancellor Peter Von Bergen
Subj: Trade
Germany would be happy to open trade and communication links between our two countries. We would be more than happy to trade in fine German weapons to increase both our econmies.
Yours,
Chancellor Peter Von Bergen


Orders And Movements:
- Deploy troops led by Kaiser Fredrich to Denmark to annex the country and integrate it as a part of Germany
- Deploy troops led by General Bon Kliesch to annex Switzerland
- Deploy troops and the German navy to gain a behead in Norway until re-inforcements arrive from the other two fronts.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

[trader/warrior]

i`ll be UK!

orders:continue invasion of afghanistan.
ask the natives on madagaskar if i can buy the south tip of the island.

 

[Toasty]

To: Chancellor Peter von Bergen
If you ask me, we have every right to be downright terrified of your aggressive miliary campaigns! These nations are very much similar to our own and it could just as easily be us the next time the Kaiser runs off on a reconquista!
You should be advised, however, that a Swiss campaign is very unlikely to succeed. Their entire country is mountainous, easily defendable the Swiss are armed to the teeth! I will tell you that unless you are interested in slaughtering your armed forces, you should leave them well alone.
We disprove of Germany's aggressive measures and encourage you to look to Africa. The World is a wide place, we shouldn't be running over our brethren while we can just as easily subject natives and get rich without much resistance. The German militaristic spirit, while honored, should be quelled if your government seeks to make a serious effort in the world.

To: President Jimmy Conway of Brazil
While we thank you for your respect of the Dutch rule over Suriname, we are not interested in trading with Brazil. The aggressive campaigns your country has made, while on the world scale are relatively harmless, seem to demonstrate to us the Brazilian mentality. We currently are not interested in propelling a South-American war machine.
However, if you chose to end these campaigns and a massive buildup of your army (ooc: upgrading an army so much takes a very long time--you probably don't have the industry to equip all of the soldiers. It would most likely take at least 8 years), the Dutch merchants will readily probe the depths of the Brazilian Amazon. Until then, however, in the name of peace we cannot.

 

[.:KNAS:.]

ooc: were gettin guns from Germany, so lets say it will take 5-6 years, and its not that large of an uppgrade, from large to huge. oh and its not Guyana u have, its Surinam.

 

[Dexter]

[OOC] Damn! Now it's gonna look like I was taking your advice when I post this Toasty! [b[/OOC][/b]

"Kaiser, General Bon Kliesch is awaiting your orders concerning the invasion of Switzerland, what shall we tell him?" The young First General Swarchkopf looked up at his leader preched upon his white stallion.
"On this piece of paper is the battle plan which I have preapred for him. It is your job to make sure it reaches Bon Kliesch without any mistakes, is that clear?"
"Yes sir!"
"Now go and do not stop untill you get there!"
Swarchkopf hopped upon his horse and began to ride away. After a brief time though he could not help himself but look at the plan and to insepct his masters ideas...

The Plan:
The Switz defence will be strong and do not be fooled by their relatively small numbers. My plan is as follows:
Dress the men in grey and dark colours, my intentions are to blend in with the natural surroundings of mountainous terrain and to sneak up on the enemy positions, our superior weapons and training will aid us once the battles begin. As you already know you have been given the best trained men in mountain warfare, I wish you the best of luck, I trust you know what to do.
Signed,
Fredrich
