Following the actions of a.h ( Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck ,) emergency defences shall be dug all along our boarder. Our trenches hope to be effecive in reducing the effect of artillery. WTtE|B0D. Should the enemy choose to attack with artilary the effects would be reduced however I do realise should the enemy attack we do not advance them as are defences are still rushed. Because of threat conscription shall begin immediately along with training. We make it clear this is not an act of aggression but to defend ourself. |

Koninkrijk België/Royaume de Belgique/Königreich Belgien 1907 UPDATE
Political
Upon hearing of the coalition against the Ottoman Empire, the Federal Parliament would be called for an emergency session concerning the coalition. After some debate, the Federal Parliament would agree to invest in a formal navy so that it could launch naval operations. As funding was strained due to increased militarization, work only begins on a couple of cruisers.

The small fleet in the Mediterranean sets off quickly to defend the Mediterranean from possible Italian attacks on the mainland. OG|gZ7V4 They leave smoothly and arrive with little delay. They prepare for possible attacks.
Soldiers mobilise against Greece. Artillery is brought to the front. There is no delay and the army arrives to face the Greeks. Among them are battle-hardened veterans of the Grecco-Turk War. They prepare the attack. Confusion arise, and delays the preparation. The Greek army is able to get ready for the counter-attack. Artillery bombard the Greek positions. The bombardment was pretty effective. Men advance on the Greeks around the city. A battle rages on! A 5 will all that's required to win. The Greeks are pushed back! Reinforcements pour into the city.
Half of the men at the border of Iran are transported across Turkey. They move quicky, and are expected to arrive soon. The journey is smooth. They will be at the frontlines in a few months. ················ |

Men are ordered to defend Tripoli. They begin digging in. The city is strong and secure. It is much harder to conquer the city now. They settle in and begin rationing and gathering food. Somehow they find enough food to last a few months.
Soldiers mobilise against Greece. Artillery is brought to the front. There is no delay and the army arrives to face the Greeks. Among them are battle-hardened veterans of the Grecco-Turk War.

Half of the men at the border of Iran are transported across Turkey. They move quicky, and are expected to arrive soon. The journey is smooth. They will be at the frontlines in a few months. The Sultan made a speech to the people. "We come today as the Italians declared war on us. He and his allies march towards us, thinking that we will be a pushover and fall under them easily. But we will not! We will defend the our ancestors lived! The Italians are but bloodthirsty warmongers, using religion as an excuse to conquer others! This must be stopped! It is time to unite! We may have different languages, and different cultures, but we all part of the empire, and the invaders won't see as us anything but someone from the Ottoman Empire. Together, and with our allies, we will stop their false crusade! May Allah grant us strength!" Reform of the army begins. Soldiers will be sorted by their respective languages to avoid misunderstanding, and led by someone who understands Turkish well. The General of the Army hopes to grow as much as up to 1 million men. Recruits will be given better and more realistic training. Retired soldiers will be given 1000 Lira.

Germany, year 1906 The nation of Germany is strong, with strong alliances with Austria-Hungary, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Qing. The recent war at the Balkans gave Germany, a peace-loving nation no choice, but to wage in the war. The following is the speech by the Kaiser: The Reich is a peace loving nation, with no aggressive intentions. However, the nations-Serbia, Italy and Greece seemed to disappoint the German attempts to restore peace and relieve tension. Thus, they gave us no choice but to declare participation in the Balkans war. The Ottoman, and Austria-Hungary are all powerful empires, with rich culture and history, and the enemy stand do chance against the great Empires League. I suggest Tsar Desophaeus to join the war as well. The axis of evil will pay, for breaking the peace to our world…” 2 out of 10 armies are sent to the Ottoman Empire to prepare for war. 2 are sent to the Austria-Hungary, and 3 are placed along the French border. They are for defensive purposes only. 3 are ready to go to Russia, to fight with the Great Russian armies. The combat will begin in 1907-as the war began late. No military actions have been executed yet. |

Imperial Russia 1907 (complete) The minister of agriculture, Nikolai Kutler, was arrested for his gross incompetence in handling the expansion of farming in Siberia and the far East. The farmers had triggered a number of revolts (4 or under will explode into full-scale revolts,) (Okay, somehow the dice function doubled itself, only first two rolls each work, the 3rd 4th doesn't matter, only 1st and 2nd per row) Poland - 8 1ifla5kiUkraine - 5 Urals -9
Polish and Ural revolts shows weaknesses during the beatdown given by the local military. The Polish Socalist Party is forced to disband even though they have 40,000 members and their leadership is imprisoned. Some of the lower level members are also in jail. The dissenters are sent to the Siberian wilderness to develop new farmlands under hard labor for life. Ineligible for parole. Court adjourned.
Leading up to this year... To start off, Nicholas II has appointed Hjalmar Linder as the governor of Finland and Mannerheim as the head of the Finnish military affairs to resolve the minor riots of 1905 (didn't have enough time to roll dice on a laptop). Civilians manage to complete the Trans-Siberian Railway in that year. Thanks to the peaceful relationship with both the Qing ( Laurent de Gouvion St. Cyr ) and Japan ( Santa Anna ), Russia has a train route from Moscow to Port Arthur instead of the longer route to Vladivostok. To be edited ···········Out of necessity, the ministry of transportation (along with finance and others) makes preparations to construct supplemental railroad tracks to serve better flow of goods and troops down south through Ukraine, and a provisional blueprint is laid out for a secondary track and a tertiary track to be laid on both sides of the primary track of The TSR.
Foreign Policy: Simply, Greece (@joshuameme) and Italy ( liamcog) are both placed under embargoes for their acts of war against the Ottomans. Romania ( best75) is warned that while Russia will assure of their independence, but we make no promises to preserve the lives of foolhardy soldiers who marches into war against Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck's A-H. They might get wiped out in Transylvania and long as the civilian population, infrastructure and the oilfields remain unharmed by the Austrians and their other troops, Russia will not intervene to preserve Romanians in that foolish slaughter. No embargo is placed on best75 because of the independent protectorate agreement prior to the war. As for the neutral Brazil ( Ivan Kolev), it is highly advised that they redirect their ships to Port Arthur instead of going through the dangerous Mediterranean and then finally through the Black Sea on the other side. We are working on expanding the Trans-Siberian Railway connections to serve international trade needs in the Pacific. |

Tsarstvo Bŭlgariya 1906-7
(Complete)
Military
Vladimir Antonov and Yasen Spasov are the Tsardom’s first lineage of professional ballooners. Spending an excessive amount of time in the facilities of the production of kite balloons, they’ve personally been handpicked to embark on the Tsardom’s first series of reconnaissance missions. Their first operation would be the manifestation of information of the mountainous terrain that plagues the Serbian village of Vranje.
Stationing a single balloon at an underlying town (Treklyano) situated a mile away from Serbia, the two men would mount the balloon with sudden ease, and promptly be hoisted upwards by a wire chain. The maximum capacity would be over one thousand feet, while the wire would be capable of extending over one thousand yards.
To ensure that the balloon has a good takeoff, it will require five or more to produce successful results.
oP0up1iJ
Success! Although experiencing minor turbulence, the craft would successfully manage an appropriate climbing rate.
Wielding an observation camera, they'd initiate a series of pictures, hoping to scrutinize and manage to manifest enough photos, in order to produce information on the atrocious terrain
To ensure that the pictures are produced in top quality, the ballooners would require four or below for the best results.
Ultimate failure! An enormous gust of wind would produce a severe turbulence, that would not only making it nigh-impossible to formulate satisfactory pictures but would even hinder the leverage of the crewmen that flanked the wiring below. After this twenty-minute debacle concluded, the two ballooners would attempt another try at producing satisfactory results.
In order to stabilize the craft and produce good pictures, the two men will require, six or more in order to execute such activity.
Success; The two men managed to produce excellent photographs of the surrounding perimeter, as well as laying out eligible routes for fast transportation. The craft was lowered, and the two men would soon be transported to Sofia for elongated screenings. These photographs would be acquired by the military core, and the selected information would be used for any future endeavors.
Over the course of two years, with the aspect of a world war brewing on the horizon, the Tsardom would implement conscription laws and mass recruitment would ensue.
Manifesting all Bulgarian citizens alike, there would be a whopping fifty thousand new additional armed servicemen, as well as implementing a cavalry division, multiple labors, and machine gun divisions, including fortifications and pyrotechnicians. Although the Tsardom experienced an industrialized revolution, it still relies on agriculture. Therefore, the supplement of basic essentials wouldn't be difficult nor costly.
Men would be assigned to separate armies, on corresponding age.

Spain 1907
Concerning the war...
After Spain was promised no land by Britain, Italy, or Greece, they refuse the call to war. Philip V speaks of the war as "An act of aggression we won't be participating in. We've had strong relations with the Austrian Habsburgs in the far past, and for the sake of not interfering with their sphere of influence, we will not be sending any support to any of the countries in the Balkans. We hold the fact that nations, such as the Ottoman Empire, have been hostile to many European nations since 1453, when they were formed, but we gladly abstain from any participations in the acts of war involved with them. I hope the countries might find some way to resolve the matter diplomatically. God bless Spain, Aragon, Leon, Castillo, and Catalonia. Thank you!"
Political:
Despite the supposed neutrality of Spain in global conflicts, Philip V has increased the Parliament from 10 advisors to 100 advisors (1000% more!). His intentions were to provide himself with more advisors accustomed to specific topics. The parliament has a mandatory meeting every month, and their individual groups often spend time discussing policies well in advance to the meeting. The groups are Economy/Trade, Governmental Structure, Culture, Defense, Colonial Affairs, Industrial Development, International Affairs (Which also form their own organization: The InterNational Relations Community [luckily I'm bilingual: La Comunidad de Relaciones Internacionales {CRI}]), Justice & Law Enforcement, Religious Society, and Agricultural Institutions. Overall, the addition of these new groups within parliament creates more power for parliament, and in turn, more realistic decisions.
Economy:
With the newly formed economic group within Parliament, it seems much more likely that they will impose correct economic policy. I will be rolling for industry and tax:
Industry (Interpretation is solely based on the number and whether it is high or low)
Dice doesn't seem to be working. I'll try again in a couple minutes.

Hellas. 1908 First six months
Political: We definitely heard Joshua crying... He decreed a war economy focusing on food and production of guns. He also sends a bottle of olive oil to the Ottoman empire stating Sultan Der Kaiserreich , If I give you as many as you want, Will you give me a peace treaty? Not much else happens... Social: The people are happy that they shall soon have the rest of their Greek brothers (We can only hope.) But were shocked at the war. Lighter layered clothes for fashion were introduced even by the government. No more interesting things happen. Economy: Money onto the ports is spent again. focuses on food production is made. Rationing food is considered. 5 percent raise on taxes is made. will be edited if must or I get something. Research: In January the Fauneral gets the idea to drop larger grenades from planes. Since the Greeks have been working well with planes overall some tests will be conducted on the subject requiring a 7 for the first stage of the concept. (Every test takes a month.) 18TpC6hF a 10! It goes very well and we are already half way done with the next step (launching the first proto-bomb.) will require a 6 to do. we have an extremely good expirement and learn that an X tale is a good feature after study. a larger bomb capable of some kind of damage is tested. 7 is required to do this. after amazing experiements we decide to launch a much larger bomb and it requires a 6 (As previous research has allowed for much easier time.) A good success, the outcome was slightly over expected outcome. The first bombers are deployed and are produced by the 5th month. 2 more tests are made. the first being, a more aerodynamic design an 8 is needed for bare minumun success. ·········

Once more a design for more aerodynamic plane requiring an 8. A nine again! Not bad. Now on to what we do. Month one: Varies orders a retreat to Ionninias (We assume Bitola fell notify us if it was Ionninias. Once we are there we order the French reinforcements to march there. We put all reserves out onto the front. Month 2: The french arrive and we recruit and we train the remainder of the 7K and however many join (1 Point=1 thousand men from the city.) another 7 thousand men join. They are trained and Month 3: we roll to get more recruits ( I Point is 7 hundred) We are ready for the deployment of the bombers. We gain 6.3K men. Month 4: We continue training and we offer all blueprints to Italy ( liamcog ) We get machine gun shipments and artillery is produced and put on the fronts. We gear up for a major defence by digging trenches. Month 5: With the Fauneral now in control of weapons to stop transportation we decide to bomb Turkish railroads. a 6 is required. We also drop anti propaganda throughout the Ottoman Balkans. First is rebellion by Greeks. Everyone 1 point is 1 thousand rebels (This is a five deleted it on accident.) 8 Thousand men scattered throughout the balkans rebel. against Ottoman control. Now we try to get the Democratics to revolt they need a 6 to revolt. They revolt with more numbers than expected. We drop Kosmat manifestos throughout Ottoman Libya (If liamcog allows us.) a roll to decide the effectiveness will be held. a good run. we drop sepparate propapganda for the Serbians and 1 point equals 500 men revolts. we inspire 3K men to revolt. Month 6: The Fauneral orders a crazy manuever. He demands 2 bombers to go on a mission to bomb the Sultan's building in Constantinople. If we get a 12 it works fully. |

Italy 1908.1
Research, with other nations investing in new tech like planes and tanks, Italy to shall look to increase her power. The queen is facanted with chemical warfare, so we are going to try and make a poisonous gas. We need some people to test it of course. Benito Mussolini and other members of the socialist party shall be placed in small rooms and the gasses efects shall be observed. Whatever the effects the gas is ready next turn. xPFzgZdv. The test was exelent, similar to nova 6 (if you have ever played black ops 1) the gas even escaped into the building killing others . We plan on launching this through artilary. We realise because of weather ect the gas needs to be deployed far away from are troops so were rolling for longer range artillery. . The new design was worse than our current one, more attempts shall be made in the future. As for now we must be careful when using the gas.
Military- we are hoping to further increase are land in Libya. The otomans have had no way of increasing military presence in the region as they are blocked by sea and land. Poor food imports mean increased starvation
Group a-
We will go on the ofensive capturing the town of quaminis. 5 needed. . The battle went as hoped. We shall continue attacking ajdabbyda. 5 needed . Victory, we admire the otomans courage. As they have captured the most important city's and towns, we shall now shift the majority of are group a and attack tobrok. 6 needed. . We undermined there defensive capabilitys. We shall regroup and try again. . Though a victory, are army shall rest until mabye later.
Group b- the group is split in to. Half shall attack Gharyān, and half zuwahra. 5 needed for both. . . Both successful.
Note: when I atacked zuwahra I ment az zawiyah. I mixed them up on the map.
. Now we shall both simultaneously attack zawiyah. 5 needed. . Victory. Morale is high. We will re position and attack Bu'ayrat al hasun. 5 needed. . Exelent victory. Group a will attack al uqaylah. 5 needed.. With group a not being as successfull, we shall not continue with the offensive in lybia.
I shall post a map of my land in Libya. I encourage others to do the same.
Coastal defences shall be increased in east Africa.
Foreign. We are not happy about the embargos however we don't do much to rebel this.
Political. Upon hearing the recent victorys, patriotism is high.
Economic. Despite the embargos, food continues to be imported from britain and France.

Post by Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck on Nov 30, 2017 16:57:27 GMT
Die Osterreichische-Ungarische Monarchie, 1908 Franz Joseph addresses the Nation. “Italy and Greece did not heed our warning. Even now they lay waste to Ottoman Libya, and incite unrest in Thrace. As a member of The Emperor’s League, we cannot make threats any longer: we must act. I hereby declare that a state of war exists between Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Greece. The embargo on Romania will stay in place, but we will go no further unless the Romanians declare war on Austria-Hungary as well. To the listed countries, I give you an alternative, in the unlikely event you seek to end the production of Widows within your countries:To Italy (liamcog) Austria-Hungary demands your retreat from Libya, and the cessation of Venetia and Lombardy to Austria-Hungary, with a demilitarized zone reaching 20 Kilometers into your new border. Small Reparations are to be paid to Austria-Hungary and The Ottoman Empire.To Hellas (@joshuameme) you will cede your Northern Provinces of Ioannina, Trikala, and Thessaloniki to the Ottoman Empire, and pay heavy reparations.To Romania (best75), upon the behest of The Russian Empire, you will cede only your Serbian Acquisitions to Austria Hungary. Otherwise, you will be left unharmed.Austro-Hungarian Forces have yet to assault your borders. Choose wisely your next move, else your men be needlessly slaughtered on the battlefield, and your crops and villages razed.”End Address. I will do my combat moves depending on your responses, so let me know ASAP. |

Koninkrijk België/Royaume de Belgique/Königreich Belgien Early 1908
Political
The debate in the Federal Parliament was focused on the coalition, though it was mostly discussing on how to adapt to new times as well as how to manage Benghazi (obtained after a deal with the Ottoman Empire). They agreed on an armed neutrality policy, where Belgium would be neutral but would arm themselves in case the war spreads out of control. It was agreed that Benghazi would be developed for both trade and defense purposes. Once Belgium finishes building cruisers, some of these cruisers will be moved to this new naval base. In addition, this port will initiate trade with other countries in the Mediterranean, etc.
Economic
Nothing new, except for the beginning of trade in Belgian Benghazi.
Military
Nothing new, though the Belgian military is getting close to finishing target conscription levels.
Research
Funding has returned to normal, though some Chinese students have begun cooperating with Belgian researchers on working on military technology. As such, the requirement to go again is now reduced to 9.
Tank
k|7gJ2Sq
Wonderful, the research has been successful! We shall do it again! Successful years required: 7
Unfortunately, not even the bright Chinese students could figure out how to fit heavy weaponry on the tanks. We will try again next year. Successful years required: 7
Aeroplane
It was a success, but the scientists and the Chinese need some rest. We will try again next year.
Foreign Affairs
The Kingdom of Belgium expresses its neutrality in the conflict. It will not aid anyone economically, politically, or militarily.
Social
The Great Belgian-Chinese Cultural Exchange has begun! Belgians have begun to share their culture with the Chinese students and vice versa.
