[Kentharu]

From the EUA
to the Japanese Empire

We would like to most firmly suggest that the Japanese army and navy endevour to abstain from damaging or killing any and all american diplomats, businessmen, and commercial assets (a list will be provided) currently in Xin Han territories. Failure to do so, or at least failure to attempt to do so, will result in offical requests of compensation, and a possible souring of what have been very pleasent relations up to now.

From the EUA
to the Xin Han

The Japanese make very serious allegations, how do you respond in the face of their body of evidence?

 

[alex994]

Get on aim dis! No, I'm not in this nes in any way or form.

TO: Whoever the Hell You Are
FROM: Empire of Japan
Was that the wind?

OOC: You have a mighty big death wish, Swiss. Guess we'll have to make it 0/3.

To: World
From: Shaoxi Emperor

I can only say that we are innocent of all charges brought against us by the Japanese Empire. We do not what nation or organization has framed us for these actions, but you must all know that, though Japan may win this war, China has done nothing to harm the Japanese Empire, the Japanese people, the people of Burma and Sumatra, the PUASE, the Holy Roman Empire or any other nation or ethnic group for which we are accharged.

OOC: I really am innocent, Symphony, and you will regret being manipulated into moving against one of your allies even if China falls. However, an unnamed source told me of the possibility of your attack, so I will not be completely unprepared.

Edit: Now I am convinced that this was Sheep. What petty revenge for choosing a defeated nation!

 

[Thlayli]

Eh, the Xin Han's fall was the next logical step in Japanese domination of the Pacific Rim. Personally, a gradual alignment with Russia (the direction I was heading before events intervened) would have been a better move for the Chinese. Oh well, we'll see how this plays out.

Nah, not really. Russia was moving towards war with France again, and, had I aligned myself with them, the Japanese would have been more firmly on France's side effectively negating any advantage I gained from allying with Russia.

 

[Thlayli]

That is true, but the realization that Japan had you in their crosshairs, intending to invade regardless of what you did, might have led China to seek at least a covert alliance, especially considering the kinds of physical assistance that Russia can provide, even now.

Of course, you're indirectly allied with Russia now, aren't you?

 

[JosefStalinator]

Sigh, damned holiday made me forget...

TO: EUA

CC: International Community
The Xin Han Chinese Empire, as we expected, has replied with nothing but sugar-coated words and poorly constructed assurances, as always. They have levelled nothing in the way of fact or theory to dismiss the vast volume of intelligence accumulated against them, and thereby paint themselves as guilty. We will do our utmost to see that American citizens are not harmed during the prosecution of this war, however we would advise you to issue a statement calling for them to leave the region if at all possible.

OOC: Well Cui, I suppose Sheep is just the master of deception then, fooling all the allied intelligence agencies in the world. Regular Saddam Hussein. It doesn't really matter since I hit the next likeliest instigator too.

Errnt, Errnt, Errnt. We have a loser! I actually only decided this this turn when all my counterintelligence turned up the same answer. I had other plans. I've just had to compromise a bit.

I only learned about Japanese aggression before this update. Of course, Japan has been fairly hostile for a while, but I had thought that their termination of the alliance with France meant that they might decide to stop being so hostile. Apparently not.

Plus, I doubt Russia would have accepted an alliance with me, covert or not. Perhaps they would have.

I think this NES has shown, no offense intended here, Symph, that with Symphony on your borders, one is never too paranoid by putting full defensive plans into the orderset every turn.

 

[~Darkening~]

Yes it will, among a few others

I've still got some aces up my sleeve, damnit!

Sure, while you have just a *few*, I have a whole damn deck! But of course, I do expect to die. After all, why shouldn't I?

 

[Cuivienen]

No, this is true, and I have had (vague) plans to defend against Japan every turn for quite a while.

 

[alex994]

That's pretty much the problem. Would the leaders of a country in the real world enter a war expecting to die?

Of course, you are probably being sarcastic

 

[~Darkening~]

Yes. You beat me to the editing punch

EDIT:
Sure, while you have just a *few*, I have a whole damn deck! Of course, playing with four or five decks isn't really that fair ;]. I do hope Harleqin focused on me like I'm almost entirely sure he did. Same goes for Panda ;]. And hell, I doubt even I know what I'm attempting to pull off.

No matter what France and Scandinavia focused on, your objective of weakening the Russian front isn't completed. If the Russians attack Krakow, then they'll most likely be slaughtered by massed weapons-fire. If they attack Finland, they're hankering for a Winter War. And thus, their only option is to remove the front of Persia, and Persia, not unlike Russia, has the convenient thing where it has so much space that it can afford to trade a lot for time. Plus, the aces which we have all over the place mean wherever they attack, they'll still be screwed anyway, unless they're damned near prophetic, in which case, they'll stretch their soldiers even more.

So consider your mission of causing the downfall of the world superpower null and void, because France has enough allies already on the front that it practically could sit back and cheerlead, and we'd still win.

Unless, of course, the next Russian project gives him 1,000,000,000,000 divisions without any support or training costs.

OOC: It's not my fault I'm always surrounded by either hostile or crumbling empires, or more often, both. The only nation which has ever bothered being truly trustworthy that was nearby was Kalinga, and I never took steps of any sort against it. All the others had it coming one way or the other. This is one of those instances. You can blame Alex for inspiring me to semi-paranoia.

I'm supposed to believe that you're not going to attack Kalinga when we restart it? Don't count on it.

Though Kalinga has never betrayed an alliance, of course, so you needn't worry.
