Only for Shrimant Peshwa Madhavrao BhatGreetings, almost neighbor (if you hurry up and Anschluss Austria then we can actually be neighbors). Since at present there are only five powers, and France, Poland and the Soviets seem to be in cahoots, the obvious thing for me to do is clearly to join them for a piece of the pie, but since that would be boring, I propose that we form an alliance. Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov - any chance of getting the full details of my military/economy? Assuming I have 6 factories, they'll produce as follows (if only 5, scrap 25 fighters): - 30 tanks - 60 guns - 50 fighters - 1 destroyer (2 pages) - 1 submarine |

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov and Darth Nihilus So, I think it's time to decide to the initial outline of our plans against this fragile situation in Europe, in order to have at least a rough idea of our future actions. I think we can assume that there's uncertainty in general, except one inevitable thing: the threat of Germany and Italy. Should we wait until all our preparations are ready, or should we take the initiative against them? It is clear that we should be ready for a war every moment because of the current uncertainty of the enemy's actions, and we should not underestimate them no matter what. Their current actions are uncertain, which makes the situation so too as well as suspicious, but it is also clear that we should not, and cannot, wait for a long time either, this would give birth to a new static war, but this time, in terms of action rather than type of war. So, I'd like to hear your opinions. As Darth Nihilus has allowed me to transport a maximum of 1.2 million soldiers, I may transport some armies to Poland soon. But, what then? Should we attack Germany then, or keep waiting to see its actions, which have seemed silent so far? Also, what about Italy? Let's say we have attacked Germany, then Italy may open a front against France and/or send aid to Germany, assuming that Italy will alliance with Germans. So, are we all ready for such a situation yet? So, what are your opinions about these matters? Only for Eugene V. Debs and Darth NihilusI think we should take all measures to prepare for war, but not get too aggressive. Right now, I think the more active threat is Italy with its multiple colonies in Africa and when war breaks out, I think it is better for me to try to weaken Italy than to make a direct attack against Germany from France, for I have the Maginot Line. In the east however, I think we should prepare to invade Königsberg as soon as war between one of us and Germany formally breaks out. This would prevent from attacking the Polish corridor on two fronts. And to prepare for the attack on Königsberg, I suggest we should invade Lithuania; after all it is vulnerable to German propaganda and can be a dangerous base for the enemy. And also, Poland could regain some regions that belong to it. Here's my suggestion for the division of it. Poland would get the southern regions of Vilnius and Kaunas, I would get the western part for a base to operate against Germany in the east and the Soviet Union would get the eastern part (also the Siauliai part if you want, I'm just lazy to edit the map) and a naval base in the west. Yellow cross: Poland, Green: SU, Blue: France.  |

Approximate locations of my troops. Blue markers are infantry armies of 100,000 and red markers are tank brigades of 100. All newly produced tanks (not in the map) will be transferred to the city of Bourges unless stated otherwise.  ' As you can see there are armies in Poland. The 200,000 troops in the map will be flown to Warsaw by a route that will go over the Baltic Sea and the Polish Corridor with all my transport aircraft, escorted by 900 fighters on also on the way back. Since a transport aircraft can supposedly carry atleast 50 soldiers, I expect the 5 journeys to be complete in a page. The 300 tanks will be shipped there with the escort of 20 destroyers, 10 submarines and a battleship to ports in the Polish Corridor. This will probably take 3 pages. Darth Nihilus |

I propose to locate factories in Rome, Milan, Naples, Taranto, Palermo and Venice - any objections?
After seeing what I've been given, I'm going to change output to 90 tanks, 60 guns and 50 fighters.
I'll fine-tune things a bit later, but for now I'll put 20% of my men and tanks on the border with France and start building fortifications. Not sure if there are any agreed rules about building yet, but since the border has rather few and narrow passable points, it should be possible to upgrade the defences rather quickly.

Construction of 1 destroyer has finished. We have moved it to Gdansk. The new fighters we are building will automatically be distributed to the reserve force that we have built. Currently that stands at 200. Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, Eugene V. Debs, My factories will prioritize building fighters, so if you want to borrow any I currently have 200 extra. I think each of us could specialize in making something as well. |

Only for Darth Nihilus and Kliment Jefremovitš VorošilovThanks, though I don't need right now, I think it would be better if Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov took it, or if they stayed in you. I was thinking about exactly the same thing lol. Though, by the way, Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov, will I have transport aircrafts and/or navy? There's no need to hurry, I just asked to make sure because this may change how I'll transport my troops to Poland, and Lithuania.  |

Darth Nihilus Two tank brigades and armies will be moved to Syria. |

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov and Darth NihilusI think that's a good idea. Because it would give us more control of the Baltic Sea, which may give us an important advantage against Germany. And because of the same reason, I think we should attack Estonia as well.
The only question is, in which order should we attack them, if we decide to attack all of the Baltic states? |

In the current unstable situation in Europe, France sees it necessary to issue ultimatums to violators of international law. 1. To the Sicilian dictator of Italy Theron of Acragas, The past two years have made it seem like the non intervention committee designed to prevent the civil war in Spain from erupting into a new World War is considered by Italy to be a joke of some sort and something that can be safely violated. Furthermore it has illegally invaded Ethiopia. In this situation we have no choice but to give Italy two options; either to retire from both Spain or Ethiopia, or face war. 2. To the governments of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, It is clear that all three of these countries are governed by people who have big sympathies with Germany and great hostility against Poland. It is clear that these countries are governed by radical nationals who are ready for war against democracy at any time. They have left no option to resign or face war. |
