Spain officially announces her resignation from the Venice Pact due to her membership in the Trinity Alliance.

The poweful Spanish Secret Service has uncovered evidence suggesting that a European power funded the rebels not only in Panama, but also in Brazil. The nation's identity will remain a secret, but Spain no longer wishes to be in the Venice Pact.

In other news, a portion of South Africa's army has disappeared.
Rumours are abound that they are going to attack France.

(This is my advance warning to France, as there has to be 1 day notice before attack orders are given. South Africa will attack you tomorrow in the new orders phase.)

Now a rule change once more.

Once all orders are in for Wednesdays and Sat/Sun, any attack orders will be immediately resolved to prevent problems.

ALSO I NEED BRITAIN AND ITALY'S BUYS FOR SATURDAY BEFORE TOMORROW NIGHT OR THEY WON'T RECEIVE THE 250 GOLD!

I'm sorry to be harsh, but I need those damned orders!

"My people I have bad news:As you may have heard by Spanish officials a European nation has supported the criminal rebels in Panama and here in our great Brazil.
But I was schocked when I learned that our believed ally Sweden is the one.I became suspicious when they called them freedom fighters,but I could not believe it.But it is true.We are glad Spain has drawn the right conclusions and left the Venice pact.We will do this as well and I urge Italy to do so.
But this is not enough.So many Americans have died through Swedish imperialism,that we have to end it.I have talked to my friends in the AA and we all think something has do be done.So tomorrow the parliaments of our three nations will order a combined attack against the occupied part of South America.
However we will not target any civilian areas just military and government installations.We will not allow any European troops to intervene,but we are not planning any action against Sweden itself.If Sweden decides not to give any resistance,their troops will be treated after Geneva conventions and sent back to Sweden as soon as possible."

"Fitta!" Max Gustav af Stockholm said. "Lies only lies. I would never support terrorists. I knew that the AA would come up with something like this to increase their power and take what is rightfully mine."

To: Italy
From: Sweden
We should immediately exclude Brazil from the Venice Pact. You must also send all troops to help me out! Sweden counts on you.

To: Nations of the World
From: Sweden
I request assistance from all nations. I assure you all that I wasn´t responsible for any terrorist help or assistance in Central America. I would never support terrorists! I urge you to help me.

To: AA
From: Sweden
I warn you not to attack Swedish S. America. Any crossing of the border will we taken as an act of War. Beware that we will never surrender Swedish S. America to anyone!

 

[Kennelly]

"Our secret service has intercepted several Swedish transmissions.They only contain lies.The AA is not aggressive,but over Swedish America weapons and supplies were given to the rebels.So we have to take action.
I say to Sweden:I really can assure your people and troops will be treated well if they do not give resistance.And see the reality:the Venice pact is no more.Spain and we have recognized your true nature and Italy was even not willing to defend itself in the conflict with Greece and Egypt.
I also call upon France:We have heard your colonies are in danger of South African forces.Support our rightful war against Sweden diplomatically and after the Swedish are away we will send troops to assist you in your act of self-defence."

Spoiling for a fight, South Africa sends 10 infantry regiments to help defend Swedish South America.

The Trinity Alliance, at Spain's insistence, hasn't joined in the war. However, all three states send one carrier battlegroup each to the area to observe.

TO: Sweden
FROM: The AA (American Alliance) member Canada
SUBJECT: Imediate Withdrawl.

As Brazil as already put, according to the evidence shown to the other members Sweden is responsible for these actions, the weapons appear to be coming in from Swedish South America.

Weither or not you had anything to do with these actions is beyond the point, the fact is, the rebels who were attacking Brazillian and Panamanian Citizens and Cities were supplied with weapons coming from this area.

We do not wish for war with Sweden, but this area will have to be annexed to sucure peace in the region.

Swedish citizens and troops will be allowed to return to Scandanavia, as will all important Diplomats and Government officals.

However all Swedish Partisans, and Criminals found to be smuggling weapons to Panama will be arrested and put on trial.

All of these accords will follow the Geneva convention.

***********************************************

TO: France
FROM: AA Member Canada
SUBJECT: Possible attack from South Africa.

We have noticed a build up of South African troops which seemed to have disappeared, they may be focusing to attack your French Colonies in Africa, we suggest you make the proper actions torwards this "possible" invasion.

If you ask, the AA will provide you with Military support.

***********************************************

TO: The Nations and Kingdoms of Europe and Asia
FROM: The AA
SUBJECT: the Swedish Situation

Let me clarify to all the nations of the world that what is happening in South America is NOT i repeat NOT an invasion of Sweden or declaration of war in anyway.

We are simply annexing this territory to stop the terrorists who continue to attack and kill Panamanian and Brazillian citizens, the Territory may even be returned to Sweden after the Situation is resolved.

Prime minister Farid al-Qafar, looking years older following the assassination attempt, stood at the podium. "... and furthermore," he announced, "we, the proud people of Iran, are happy to support the American Alliance in its attempt to restore order to its soil. We..." he paused, hearing some commotion outside--indeed, a very loud commotion.

Commotion with gunfire.

"My people!" he yelled. "Do not panic!" This announcement, of course, had noticeably little effect as several windows shattered overhead and the sounds of battle outside rose to a climax. Escorted by members of his personal guard, the prime minister swiftly evacuated the hall, but matters were hardly any better once outside.

Headline from the Tehran Crier (now under new management) two days later:
ISLAMIC UNITY PARTY TAKES CONTROL IN COUP

A glorious uprising has occured in our great nation, throwing out the spineless diplomats imposed upon us by the West and rightfully returning power to the true masters of our people under new President Mustafa Qaman, supported by the righteous soldiers of Islam. Rejoice, people of Iran and of the greater nations of Islam, for you are finally free to live in true accord with the words of the Prophet, delivered from the sins of barbarian foreign culture! Farid al-Qafar, the treacherous cur who sought to lead Iran to ruin in the hands of the foreign imperialists, fled over the Chinese border to seek asylum like a cowardly dog, and the few foolish misguided soldiers loyal to him quickly surrendered and have learned the errors of their ways.

For Allah and His glory!

OOC: Iceeye, I'm sure you were referring to the Honda car with that first exclamation you made...

Russia deeply involved in Germany, Duma unable to decide on course of action with regards to Swedish South America
With several Russian armies still involved in the German civil war, many in the Duma are reluctant to act. They also point to the fact that Russia has no troops in the area, so any aid to one side or the other would be token only.
The other side, the Hawks of the Duma, currently an extremely volatile minority, say that this is an excellent chance to pay Sweden back for the Greek debacle.
The current government policy is one of non-intervention, not due to lack of interest, but due to lack of resources at this most inopportune time.

Yuri still on the run
Despite a trail of mysterious happenings blazed across the country, investigators are still at a loss to figure out where the former advisor is hiding. Tips leading to his discovery may be handsomely rewarded, say officials.

"The world sure moves in mysterious ways, Murphy, very mysterious ways. How come everything comes crashing down on me at once?"
"I've been working out a law to that effect, sir. The way I see it, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the most inopportune time..."
!That's a good law, Murphy, a very good law indeed.!

Conrad von Hotzendorf remained in Berlin. Outside him, his beloved city smoked and burned. The troops from Mardenburg had made good on their intent; a siege of Berlin had begun.

The Chancellor still refused to leave. He continued on about how democracy and socialism made a final duel in Berlin and that democracy would, as it always had, win. Right would win over left, freedom over oppression, and it would always be that way.

He reached up to the podium in the Reichstag. By decree, the whole body had been ordered to remain in Berlin and, all but the leftists and socialists remained.

"Germany lies on her darkest hours since 1919. Berlin is slowly being encircled, and we alone do not have the troops to keep it. If Bavaria is successfully taken, we will move the capital to Munich should Russian paratroops not be enough to save our city."

As he finished, a shell crashed into a building less than a block away from the Reichstag.

"The situation calls for an immediate evacuation of all the wives and children of Reichstag representatives from Berlin. We must think safety now, and not valor."

More shells and gunfire resumed.

"It is so sad to see the works of Englebert and Hindenburg go to shreds in such a fashion. Unless more, immediate help comes, Weimar Germany eventually and Berlin immediately will surely fall to the Deutsche Kommunistische Partei forces of General Lukas Getschreibben. But, if there is any man in this building that is not willing to die for it, I ask him to leave now."

Not one man left the building.

"Then may god bless you, your children and your childrens children. But for now, we must pray, for god must save Germany."

Pierre sat down at his desk, looking over the events of the week..

He'd had barely 6 hours sleep since the armed forces began to mobilize for war..

.. It was odd, the world seemed to be collasping in on it's self, Iran's new Islamic government, the German Civil War, and now the Swedish South America debacle..

But it was all necessary, after all citizens being killed would not be tolerated, but he was begining to wonder, when this madness would stop.

It'd all be over soon, he decided.

We do not object to your observing the operations against Swedish terrorists, however, US ships will be operating in the area and will be ona wartime footing. We strongly urge all neutral ships to show thier colors clearly to avoid being fired upon.

To: Chairman Matt Sung-Hui of China
From: President Mustafa Qaman

We have reason to believe that the traitorous ex-prime minister Farid al-Qafar is now hiding within your borders and demand he be extradicted immediately! If you do not turn over this treasonous scoundrel we may have to send our operatives to do it themselves.

From: President Phillipe Henry
Subj: Aid
The French 7th and 8th armed forces have been deployed and will march on Berlin in an attempt to aid the Russian Paratroopers and the German forces. It is in all our best interests that the Communists are stopped and prevented from taking control over Germany.
Yours,

To: The Canadian Government
From: President Phillipe Henry
Subj: South Africa
Our secret services have not found any information to confirm your talks of a South African attack on French colonies. Although I do believe that the South African Goverment may be up to something I do not believe they will attack French-Afrika.
I would also like to decline your offer of military aid, France has a large enough army with which to protect itself and its colonies.
Yours,
President Phillipe Henry

From: President Phillipe Henry
Subj: South America
France shall mind its own business in Swedish affairs but warn that any such funding of terrorist activity in France shall be dealt with severly.

French Colonial Sale Falls Through
Following the outbreak of civil war in Germany the sale of French colonies in Asia have fallen through.
Also in Parliament the Socialist Freedom party de-railed any further attemptsd to sell French colonies calling it a "defilement of the French Asian people's rights".
Although Socialist Support is waning they still hold the second most seats in parliament and have a strong say on French policy.

South Africa calls off any invasion of French territory, their movements were only "maneuveres".

Now they send more reinforcements to Swedish South America, knowing that with the whole American Alliance against it, their ally is going to need all the help they can get.

They also send one fleet to protect their troops, and one fleet to help the Swedish break through any attempt to stop them reaching South America.

The Trinity Alliance remains neutral, but warns the American Alliance that it will not see defenceless transports fired upon.

TO: The Trinity Alliance
FROM: The AA Member Canada
SUBJECT: South Africa's assistance of Sweden

If South Africa wishes to join the side of Sweden during this operation then they will be treated as hostile targets.

Any non-Civilian South African ship will be fired upon, and all military forces will be attacked, captured/killed.

If South Africa continues her assistance of Swedish South America, then we will consider an invasion of South Africa herself.

If you support Terrorisim, then please, join the side of Sweden, but if you are a staunch supporter of Democracy, you will stay out of this conflict.

 

[uknemesis]

The Trinity Alliance will only act if innocent people are killed. They are just there as peacekeepers to prevent civilians dying.

Also Kushanis, I need your new orders in within about three to four hours so I can resolve the combat!

[OOC - I'll get em to ya, just going through the final actions.]

 

[uknemesis]

Right, I just want everyone to know that war isn't an instant process. Each combat report is just one round of fighting(one dice roll per unit). That means it will take a few combat resolutions(each Wednesday and Sunday) to completely destroy an enemy unless you are lucky.

But you do gain ground if you force an enemy to retreat a bit by causing losses, and that ground gives you extra gold and takes it away from them.

I estimate Argentina in total to be worth 25 gold of Sweden's total 100 gold per turn.

Nemesis

 

[IceEye]

uknemesis:
you shouldn´t worry about how much gold argentina is worth, instead tell me how much gold I will get from, what shall we say, whole of brazil(real world that is) as that soon belongs to Sweden.
