NES (Never-Ending Story)

[das]

As a new genre emerges, I decided to make my own topic.

NOTE: At first there are just the Civ III nations, and each one can take one. Later, new countries can appear. TO create a new country, some new member can either replace the old one, or take command of a rebel movement. It begins in Industrial Age, 1848 Oh yes, and make it realistic, pay respect to other writers, and before joining, read previous posts.
Don't begin yet, wait unti l I say it!

[sealman]

Tsar Alekzandr Nikoliovich Romanov will lead his glorious Russian Amry into the depth of China!

__

I'll partake..... what do I have to do??

 

[Sixchan]

What? No Australia for the Brits?

I'll take the English, again.

 

[sealman]

Maybe in this world, the Brits did not have to send convicts there?

 

[Sixchan]

But why wouldn't thay have at least colonised the place?

Question: Are America and India original Civilizations, or have they been ruled by England?

 

[das]

The India was great for centuries. It was leading the Far Eastern Economy. After 840-990 AD War against China, India has pushed China into anarchy, ruining the supremacy of this empire.

But in 1824, a challenge came. Russian expedition has established good relationship with Japan, a wealthy but backwards island, and managed to bring them up to date, as part of their imperialistic ambitions in China. Soon, India has understood that it lsot it's opportunity to quickly ocnquer Pacific. By the times Java was conquered, Japanese have already established a vast naval empire and built Manilya (Manila), as their Second Capital. Now India's new and energetic president, Gajarupta, has spaerheaded the Race for Pacific...

---------------------------------------

Shuivayka, Foreign Minister, Vaja Gurta, Defence Minister and Gajarupta, the President, were all from the Indian army, and they served in the same battalion, plus Vaja Gurta and Gajarupta were old school pals, and in the army they were in the same squad. They all served in Two Month War against Javan Rebels in 1832. Now, they all have agreed to attack China, to install a new republican government in South China (which they shall bring up to date to oppose Japan), where there were a lot of republican activists.

--------------------------------

General Mahubujra was commander of Indian 11th Army (in Hanoi). Five days earlier, he got a letter from high command: "TO Invade South China, and stop at Shanghai Line ("Shanghai Line" was a Parallel from Shanhai to Indian Border)" and to try to save as much of his soldiers and as much of Chinese citizenry survive.

This political map and this world's history here are all TOTALLY FICTIONAL.

 

[Sixchan]

Okay.

Prime Minister Johnathan Sanford Took his seat in Parliament.

"Honourable, and Right Honourable Gentlemen shall we get underway? My first proposal is of vital importance to the commercial prosperity of our great land. There are untold riches in the Pacific trading routes, and we, at the very end, are being exploited out of our money! The Far East offers untold treasures and riches! We have sent scouts and diplomats there, and I have come to an imoprtant conclusion. There is a giant continent, untouched by the Eastern Civilizations, and I believe that WE should set up colonies there!"

There was a cheer from the House.

"I believe we should vote on this right away!"

Half an hour later, the support had been great enough (due to a Liberal majority in Parliament) to pass the motion. That day, ships laden with settlers set out from Plymouth.

 

[sealman]

Gereral Zietsev fortifies his men in the mountains of Northern China. He looks over the land and knows that these mountains will provide a secure defense against any counterattack that the Chinese forces might make into the interior of Mother Russia.

As Zietsev settles in and consolidates his mountain holdings, General Korneko moves into Manchuria. Although Russia is allied with Japan, it is imperative that the Russian Military take control of the vast resources in the region. Kornerko knows that the Chinese Resistance will be fierce and he is expecting high casualties. But deep down, he knows that Mother Russia has thousands and thousands of young boys to throw into this meat grinder. He also knows that China has just as many, if not more.

__

Romanov looks at his ministers and says: "This 'Toulon Pact' is dangerous. Greece, France and Rome have nowhere to exert their influence except towards Mother Russia and Germany. Send envoys to the Germans and English to see about joining the 'Dual Alliance'. Tell Prime Minister Sanford that he can pass through Russia enroute to his newly discovered land - provided we are accepted into his alliance."

 

[sealman]

Russian ships set sail from Petropavlovsk and Karaga on the Eastern shores of Kamchatka and land on the Northwestern corner of the North American Continent. Their the intrepid Russian Explorers set up the colonies of Tadonia and Romanovograd.

 

[Sixchan]

Prime Minister Sanford, recieving the letter from Russia, returned word that even though the colonization expedition was by sea, a MPP and a ROP were acceptable, and Russia would be accepted into the alliance provided Germany also gave consent.

And Germany Speaks...

King Wilhelm surveyed his latest world cartography report in the war room of the Portlandia Palace in Berlin.

The German people had done well since their humble beginnings, and Wilhelm was entrusted with keeping them secure, a task he took on with a blood oath at his coronation in what seemed like thousands of years ago.

However, the map and diplomatic reports painted an ominous picture. Clearly this Toulon Pact foreshadowed a difficult path ahead for the German people.

While comforted by the knowledge of his long standing alliance with the faithful English, Wilhelm knew that while PM Sanford's army was well trained, modern, and valiant, it was also lacking in numbers sufficient to directly assist German ground troops should the Toulon Pact turn aggressive....

Yet, an intriguing possibility had come to Wilhelm's attention. Tzar Romanov is asking to join his alliance with England, and PM Sanford has already recommended acceptance.

Wilhelm begins to pace the Great Hall of Heros...something he always does when a matter of great import is to be decided. Here stood statues and paintings in commemeration of the great generals in Germany's past. Wilhelm thought deeply...let me do right by these great men...

"Elmo!" he shouts to his personal aide..."send word to Romanov and Sanford. We welcome our friends the Russians into our pact!"

Bill

Who hopes you will let him take the Germans ;-)

 

[wilboman]

I'll speak for the Japanese. They look like they could be fun.
For the time being, I'm going to be deemed "The Dragon King", in respect to uknemesis's wonderful story.

Edit: This is, of course, a most humble request. I'll hold the reins of Japan with honour. If you'll let me.

 

[Sixchan]

By the looks of it, this could be the prequel to the original Never-Ending Story.

Also Note: What the English lack in an army, they more than make up for in Naval Power.

The German's know that their good friends the English rule the high seas. An attribute that will be highly valued should our new pact-mates the Russians drag us into a Pacific war.

The German Fleet Goes Forth

Wilhelm is pleased that soon the Russians will be joining his partnership with England. He is hopeful that great commerce and trade can be forged between these three powerful nations.

Wilhelm sends word to Romanov and Sanford that a summit should be held soon to discuss sphere's of influence and mutual defense. Wilhelm offers to hold this great meeting at his Portlandia Palace if the other leaders are so inclined. First order of business would be to rename the alliance and show the world their solidarity.

Meanwhile, he also notes that his friends are aggressively colonizing the world. Wilhelm, like many German rulers, has a special place in his heart for a land on the coast of South America near the Parana River and a small vacation village named Buenos Aries.

Wilhelm decides to settle this unclaimed land and sends for a small battlegroup under the command of Admiral Tirpitz.

In his flagship Graf Spee, Tripitz leaves Bremen with only two capital ships and escorts, but the real value of this mission are the three groups of settlers, and their galleons, who will establish three new towns of Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, and New Berlin in the name of King Wilhelm.

Tirpitz knows that time is of the essence, and the ships he has chosen for his battlegroup are the fastest available. The Hall of Heros in Portlandia Palace has no naval leaders enshired there...and Tirpitz aims to be the first Admiral there...

 

[Jason The King]

As Washington watched his mighty people finally rise the statue of himself, he laid back in his seat and observed the map of S. America.
"Hmm.. Slave, please send for my domestic advisor. Tell him I need to talk about some South American territory. It is urgent, so hurry."
"My wits tell me that the backwards people of natives will honor our civilized forces and people. Anyhow, if they don't, who cares..." Washington thought to himself. He then looked at his map on the wall. The map of north america, and the every increasing forces of the Iroquios...

 

[sealman]

"So Whilhem wishes for a summit, agreed! We shall arrive at the Portlandia Palace as soon as the date is set, providing the Chinese do not intervene."

Casualties continue to mount during the Manchurian Campaign. The Chinese army, as inadequate as it is, is making the Russian army pay in blood for each mile taken. Russian troops eagarly await the arrival of Japanese troops on the mainland.

 

[Sixchan]

As the English ships pass round South America with surprisingly little difficulty, Prime Minister Sanford packed his suitcase and got on his Personal Frigate, headed for the Portlandia Palace.
