stSBNES: A Place in the Sun

[Gelion]

Russia has reasons to believe that any military action against Russia will turn into a world war. My advice is to back down and get a new agreement with Germany.

 

[Norseone]

France has reason to believe that a WW would have Frances side winning any way. I advise you to back down.

 

[Stormbringer]

To France
From Danes:

If you attempt to occupy Greenland and Iceland you will be fased with partisan resistance. Are you sure that is what you want?

 

[Norseone]

To The Danes:
There are ways to stop that resistance.

A New Naval Projects:

The Armored Dreadnought: To Be started and completed somewhere after the Armored Battleship is.

The Armored Dreadnought will revolutionize naval warfare, see here:

The sixth HMS Dreadnought' of the British Royal Navy was the first battleship to be entirely armed with only the largest guns available, instead of having secondary and sometimes tertiary batteries of smaller guns. She was also the first large warship to be powered by steam turbines, making her the fastest warship of her size. She was so much in advance of existing designs that ships built to her pattern were known generally as "dreadnoughts", and everything else classified as "pre-dreadnoughts". Her introduction sparked off a major naval arms race as navies around the world rushed to match her.

Existing battleship designs of the era typically mounted four large guns in dual-gun turrets fore and aft, and then a number of smaller guns lining the sides in a fashion similar to older sailing ships. Not only did this limit the amount of long-range firepower to four guns, but it also allowed water into the ship through the many openings nearer the waterline.

The Dreadnought will have 10 large guns and be equipped with steam turbine engines, making it the strongest, and fastest battleship afloat..

The Armored Battleship:

A Armored ironclad ship with 4 main double barrelled guns, she will be the strongest ship out there, to be commisioned this turn.

The Armored Battlecruiser: To Be started and finished after the dreadnought is completed.

The Armored battlecruiser is the gap between a Dreadnought Battleship and a cruiser, It will be strong enough to take on battleships, but it will be fast enough to challenge a cruiser in speed, although it will lack in armor. The Battlecruiser will be inexpensive compared to the Cruiser and will most likely replace the armored cruiser all together.

ALL OF THIS IS TOP SECRET

To the World:

Britian has a MPP with Russia, and does not wish to act on it, but will, if circumstances require.

 

[Gelion]

Russia thinks that all parties involved do not want a big war. France your help in Germany's invasion is a surprise to all nations of the world. Since you fail to negotiate (MSN) an agreement we ask you to reconsider your territorial claims with Germany.
Russia believes that her good relations with Germany will help France make the right descision.

 

[Insane_Panda]

The Turbine engine isnt invented until the 1890's so hold off my dreadnought till it is.

Edit: The steam turbine was invented in 1884, so nevermind on that.

 

[Capulet]

To Russia:

You never even said you wanted anything from the war. Our only agreement was that you would not tell anyone of our plans. Germany DID promise France Greenland and Iceland after the war, and we wish that Russia would settle with us.

A Project to be started after the Battleship and finished before the dreadnought is started:

Improvements in the Steam Turbine

The Steam turbine was invented by Charles Parsons:

By 1892 the power of his turbines had increased from the very first prototype of 4 kW in 1885 to a respectable 100kW. But there were still no buyers and no market. By now his engines were powerful enough to power small boats. He decided to build a boat that would demonstrate the potential of his machine. In 1894 Parsons took out patent No. 394 for 'Propelling a vessel by means of a steam turbine, which turbine actuates the propeller or paddle shaft directly or through gearing'. The steam turbine blasted jets of high-pressure steam against blades inside a wheel, producing a continuous rotational motion instead of the push-pull action of previous steam engines. The same year saw the formation of the Steam Turbine Company, the prospectus of which stated that:

The British Royal Navy has noticed parson's work and requests that he shows a prototype to the British Navy. This project will require heavy research into the Steam Turbine, to improve it enough to allow it to power a large, ironclad ship. This may require the construction of a smaller prototype vessel to test the turbine engine on.

I cant get MSN to work on my computer for some reason, you have AIM?

To: World
From:Sweden
This is an outrage, Germany has invaded a Neutral Country. If the germans are not stopped now the rest of Europe may be next. Please answer our plea for help.

To:Russia
From:Sweden
We have a defensive pact, please help us.

 

[Norseone]

TO Russia
From France:
We will let you keep the islands, but dont think we will forget this.

 

[Capulet]

To World:

We will not attack anyone after Sweden is through, don't worry.

In fact, we offer to send each nation of the world a rose, straight from Germany!

 

[Gelion]

Russia is willing to let Greenland and Iceland become one independant nation if all parties involved will sign a non-agression pact with them.

 

[Capulet]

To Sweden:

We offer to set your supporters up a state in Western Africa!

 

[Gelion]

To Bolivia and Agentina: Russia is willing to modernise your nations at your own price....

 

[Capulet]

To Bolivia and Agentina: Germany will do it for 1 eco point!

 

[Stormbringer]

South American countries wish to stay away from European nations and politics, we pare perfectly capable of modernizing on our own, and besides, we do not trust Russia too much, their idea of modern is a bit strange...

 

[Gelion]

Russia is waiting for countires to react to her proposal on Greenland and Iceland.
