The Number Pi: WOOHOO! Tanks incoming!
In 1943, while exploring the ruins of Texcoco, a great American engineer and scientist (whose name is lost to us), had a revolutionary idea to greatly increase industrial output, inspired by a strangly-shaped ruin. The government financed this idea, and the sucess of it greatly sped up later developements in the field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: Sounds fun, when the world is conquered, i'll have to play.
In 1945, a new sport was developed in Chicago, called football. Many enjoyed this sport, and professional teams were quickly formed. It became a cultural tradition very quickly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Messanger: President Pi! Santiago de la Vega has been taken in an amphibious assault! We are victorious!
The Number Pi: Good. Continue the attacks. We will finish off the Carribbean resistance, then push on to South America.
Also in 1945, America began its assault on Spain with renewed vigor. The naval war was past, America had long since achieved dominance. Now the soldiers from the mexican Campaign were being ferried to the numerous Carribbean islands to remove all Spanish military forces, and claim the land for America.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: This is not good. We must step up the attack. We must increase troop production. Where are nukes when you need them?
In 1946, The Viking Council fell into civil war. Many believe that the USSR influenced the nation to do so, so it could step in for "peacekeeping" purposes. This alarmed many in the United States, as the USSR was already extremely strong, most (including The Number Pi) felt that America could become a target, due to the unfinished business of the first war between the two rising powers. Both rushed to build influence for the coming conflict.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For America, this meant winning the Spanish-American War, and gaining a beachhead for campaigns in South America. American conquest of South Amreica would make Stalin nervous, as the USSR held considerable sway over the Incas, in the form of a vassal-master agreement. America continued its campaign by taking the Spanish city of Eleuthera in 1947.
The Number Pi: Good. keep expanding. We will need to keep good science rates; I want nukes, planes, and tanks soon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: Why did we have to build the Interpol in Washington? How o I know these spies aren't double agents?
America stepped up its espionoge efforts, with the recruitment of more elite spies; to advise the Interpol, for future use should the USSR attack, or if America should get the first strike.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
America took control of Grenada in 1949, and with it, total dominance in the Carribbean. Spain had two cities left on the northern coast of South America. The southern colonies were of no use to America at this point in time.
The Number Pi: Great! Now we can fight on LAND! No more annoying -50% amphibious penalties...
*advisors ignore him*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: That could have been far worse! Maybe we should stop with the military techs, to get Mass Media for the Un...
*advisors do not even notice anymore*
The World Congress of 1950 in Tokyou showed America's rising influence in the world's politics. While not strong enough to get America cities directly or stop the Spanish from getting one, it was great enough to get cities for the Ethiopian vassals, and take a city from the Soviet Union for Japan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: Mining Co.! This is great! We can spread it to our vassals for more money!
America had one clear advantage in its Cold War with the USSR: corporations. used properly to generate income and provide bonuses, they could give America the edge it needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1953, Pearl Harbor was created in Hawaii. It would serve as a naval base for America in the Pacific, once it built a fleet.
The Number Pi: "Pearl Harbor: always sleep with one eye open."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: France broke free? Excelent. We can take their Canadian cities without being attacked by the Soviet Union now. Wait until we have the tanks and planes though. As for Caracas, nothing can stop us now!
1956: in this year the Caracas was taken, the Americans gained even more momentun, now that the main Spanish army was destroyed, along with numerious airships and galleons. Also, the French broke away from the USSR, thinking it in their best interests. This move only made America more eager to attack, and drive the Europeans from North America.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1957, the American fleet was upgraded. No navy in the world could stand up to America's fleet. America planned to build more ships, to keep out and transport ships that the USSR might send in a war.
The Number Pi: Good! Once we are out of this war, I want coastal cities building these new ships, for now, keep the infantry coming!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Number Pi: All objectives have been completed. Let's see what we can get for peace from Spain.
In 1960, the last renents of Spanish military power were wiped from the Carribbean region. America sent diplomats for peace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isabella: We give up!! Don't kill us!!!
The Number Pi: Very well. Also, would you agree to these trade deals. The imbalance is to pay for war damages.
Isabella: Fine! Spain will pay!
Spain agreed to complete catipulation to America in the peace treaty. America had gained another vassal state. But more would come, more than even Stalin could predict.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramesses II: Would America please protect Egypt from its enemies?
The Number Pi: Yes, America will. Would you also agree to trade?
Ramesses II: Cartainly.
..........
Joao II: Pi, we are at war with the USSR, Inca, and France. Will you help us? We will agree to vassal status.
The Number Pi: NO! I do
not want a world war! Make peace, submit to Soviet rule, but
don't drag the United States into a war where nobody can win!
..........
Sueliman II: Would you accept Turkey as a vassal? We fear for our safety.
The Number Pi: Sorry, no. I cannot risk such an unstable, distant vassal that could get America into a war with the USSR. You are on your own.
Sueliman II: Oh well. At least we are not as bad off as the Portuguese!
..........
The Number Pi: *mumbling* Portugal's trouble has only begun. I want its Brazilian colonies, and I will take them.
