NES (Never-Ending Story)

Alexander selected from the roster his best units, the ones equipped with the latest technology Greece could offer.

The Presidential Guard Division, he selected. The Greenjacket Division, or te Greek Riflemen Division as it should be known, and the Hoplite Division, made up of people from his Hoplites, and fanatically loyal to him.

Those three divsions were equipped with the latest Spartan rifles and artillery, and were elite troops, the best in Greece. They would be sent to South America in the event of any further trouble there, Alexander decided. He just hoped the Spartan factory could be upgraded quickly so that the divisions could also have the machine guns, however bulky they were. They would be goof in defence, he was certain.

His navy was another matter. The ironclad had been scrapped immediately, a disgrace to Alexander. The wooden fleet was out of date, and had been given to the Merchant Navy. Now he had no fleet, except for transports. That would have to change, with the help of Rome, he knew. But until then, his transports would rely on Roman support to get to South America if needed.

Well, if Rome wanted help there, then Rome would ask for them, he mused. And if Rome asked for them, Rome could damned well get them there!

He turned his attention to the worsening situation elsewhere.

"I think there should be a world summit." he said to Spartacus.

TO ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD

GREECE IS WILLING TO HOST AN OLYMPIC GAMES IN ATHENS, AND WHILE IT IS HELD, THERE MUST BE PEACE FOR THAT WEEK. DURING THAT WEEK, ALL NATIONAL LEADERS, INCLUDING REBEL ONES, ARE WELCOME IN ATHENS TO INTERNATIONAL TALKS. THERE FINALLY, SOME SENSE CAN BE MADE OF THIS WORLD, AND PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY TALK!

Alexander liked the idea of olympics, and finally Greece would host an important summit.

Now he turned his attention to the Trinity Alliance. His dream was to see the Trinity and Toulon alliances merge into a United Nations, a powerful body which could sort out international disputes. But it was a dream, he knew.

"Communism in Peru?!," Righello yelled at Hadrian, slamming the report on his desk. The Peruvians had said a Republic! Rome could not be found supporting a Communist nation, much less a rogue one. That damned Conrad!"
Righello quickly calmed down. "Have we got any of the machine guns to the Amazon yet?"
"Yes, my leige, we have had 60 pieces of equipment with sufficient ammunition for 18 months."
"Thank god. We'll stop the Aztecs cold in the Amazon and force them to accept peace with our holdings."
Righello paused for a moment..."What of the 20,000 troops we had sent to Peru? Are they in Lima yet?"
"Yes...but they're rather useless. The miners have begun construction and the tacticians have gotten to work on training the Peruvian forces. But we can't find a use for them."
"I want them protecting my mines," Righello said. "Turn them into military bases if we have to. The fact that Conrad turned communist and stained Rome's diplomatic stance makes me quite wary of him. Tell him he will become a republic or Rome will take over all of the mines we have set up peacefully or militarily."
Hadrian wrote it down on his legal pad.
"The Greeks...I'm rather concerned. If they continue to expand at such a large rate they might over-stretch their economy and suffer from an economic collapse. God knows the Dinai is almost as bad as the Zubu....send Alexander a memo but also tell him I agree to his tech trading proposal...Rome and Greece should become the closest of allies."
Hadrian began to write furiously, trying to keep up with Righello's writings.
"Also, tell Admiral Gadispucci that 2 more Righellos are expected by Fall of '84. I also want 6 new cruisers for the Atlantic fleet."
Hadrian nodded, still trying to keep up.
"India should know that under no circumstances will Rome fight with her against the Trinity alliance. Rome has worked too hard for peace in Europe to ruin it all in the name of Peruvian communists."
Hadrian scribbled so hard he ripped the papers. "Damn."
"Got all that?"
Hadrian nodded, saluted, and exited Righello's office.

Subj: Tech work
We should absolutely work together on the tanks. I was also wondering if we could purchase some of your tin paint so our ships will look all neat and shiny . How much does a Japanese refrigerator cost? I would like to push for the most cooperation possible in Greco-Roman relations.
Also, would you be interested in purchasing the designs for the Tunisino? The Venenziano was largely made for Atlantic combat while the Tunisino is a ship designed specifically for the Mediterranean as it is our Mediterranean flagship. We also have 2 more Righello's scheduled for the works and since your Royal Athenian Dockyard won't be completed for some months we thought you might be interested in purchasing one or both. The first, Napoletano will be Mediterranean-class. We look most forward to excelling the Greek navy to becoming world-class.

To Righello

Our latest proposal, as the previous ones about machine guns and battleships and tanks have been accepted I think, is that we give you refrigeration and electricity in return for coal and the two battleships. If required, we can also add gold to this deal.

I will support you in any South American fight, I have three divisions ready to heed your call. All you have to do is get them there!

Ok, I'm sorry you think you are not militaristic and are fighting for peace, but think at what you have done. One, you start war without diplomatic strives. Second, you deny very REASONABLE peace offers, inclding you gaining lands. Third, yo usay you are protecting the Peruvians, but yet we have made peace with Peru and gave them exta territory, and you don't withdraw and keep territory! Fourth, you try to make this a world instance by trying to get the trinity alliance involved. No, we will not agree to your peace, as it is very unreasonable to our Aztec friends. Instead, you either accept our peace offers before, or war will be abroad. As for Cuba, you STAY OUT OF AMERICAN AFFAIRS! Good Luck, and my the hunting begin

There has been a recent assassination attempt on the Tsar during his visit to the port city of Anchorage. The Tzar is back safley in Moscow. The Tzar and his ministers are currently shifting through numerous comuniques. In regards to friendship with Persia, Russia agrees to nomalize relations and as a show of faith, has lowered the alertness level of troops along the border.

P.S. Blue is America, Brown is Russia, Purple is Iroquios, and Red is Japan

Russia is fully in agreement to the division of the land as proposed in this map, if this offer is no longer on the table and another has been made, please disregard this message.

It appears that the current crisis in Canada has been avoided. Japan and Russia has accepted the plan issued by America. If this is the case, Russia troops will leave their camps in Japanese lands and return to Russian Alaska.

The Russian Government does not fully trust the turn around in the political thinking. In order to help ease tensions, and at the example of our English allies, Russia is willing to send Greece some iron ore and coal in help modernize Greece. What is Greece will to give us?

Roman Dispatch to America and the world on South America
The Aztec proposal was not reasonable. It was demanding the retreat of all my forces from land that was occupied at the time in exchange for some minor territory gratuities, with a right of passage between me and Peru. That is hardly reasonable, it cheated me out of land I had taken. My proposal is based on how the front lines are now and if he is smart he will accept. If not, he will have to face the combined might of Rome, Greece, and France. We also waited for the Aztlan government to recognize Peruvian independence, that did not happen within HALF A YEAR (game time).
I have made no stance whatsoever in Cuba, but I should warn you that my Atlantic fleet with 12,000 men is based at Aruba, not very far away, and my Mediterranean fleet is ready and waiting with 3 committed Greek divisions plus over 90,000 troops at home. I can guarantee you that there will be a Roman liberation of Cuba should you choose to get involved in South America.
We will not disrespect the Roman citizens that have died and their now underprivelidged families because of your piteous demands. We, as a nation and as a people spit on your threats! Rome will fight for what land she has won in war.
If you want war, Washington, Rome and her allies will not back down from your challenge. We have worked too hard, lost too many, come too far to succumb to such idiocy. The Mediterranian fleet has left Taranto.

I would gladly join the olympics if there were peace in South America, but it appear there may not. I truly hope that there is, and I will prepare the best athletes in Rome. Just be warned, we may not be able to make our appearance.
As far as the trade, two battleships is an awfully high cost. 2 years in production costs a LOT, and I think it would be more reasonable to give you the Nepolitano in exchange for the technologies.

No offense Jason, but Britain does have Electricity.

We are striking a balance between Realism and Civ3, but Michael Faraday, the pioneer of Electricity , form England, invented the Dynamo in 1831. Internal Combusion was devloped in 1859.

In Civ3, advances are discovered earlier than in history, so Britain DOES have electricity. And we stole combusion from ENRON.

Re: Trinity Alliance

Russian and Japan have been allies long before Russia joined the Trinity Alliance. Russian has been willing to help protect Japanese holding in North America. Japan has been willing to protect Russian shipping in the Pacific Ocean. Japan and Russia have been involved in technology and resource trading for decades. In no way does Russia protest over an invitation to Japan to join the Trinity Alliance. The addition of Japan into the alliance will assist us in promoting peace, security and stability on a more global scale.

Hail friend,

The German national athletic team is training now in preparation for your Olympic games. A grand idea indeed.

I was also interested in the recent discussion you held wherein you refered to the concept of a "united nations". While I feel there will always be defense alliances in this world, I think your idea holds much promise. Perhaps as a forum where nations could bring their grievences and look for solutions outside of the deployment of military force that we find so common today.

Hail friend,

I am shocked to learn of the recent attempt on your life. This heinous act, in combination with India's espionage leads me to wonder if there was a connection.

You have my full support in finding the culprits. The German Intelligence Agency will begin immediately searching for clues. Further. my strategic reserve stands ready to assist you on the border with India in Mongolia.

Perhaps we should contact Daedlus in Persia to ensure he closes his border to any Indian forces that may try to attack via Iran.
