Extra! Extra! In today’s news, we bring you new footage of the ongoing struggle on the South American continent. We will give you exclusive shots of the political and military development in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.

It is yet unclear how the political landscape will evolve during this tumultuous time, though we have seen some prominent persons appearing in both the political and military landscape. Here are some of the most influential people we’ve identified:

On the broader spectrum, our office analysts have looked into all the data we have collected and recognized a multitude of potential developments within the countries. No one can predict exactly how a country will develop in the future, but they’ve drawn a general image of some focuses that the nations might orient towards:

From our reporter on ground we have an exciting story on the military groups involved in the conflict in the South American region. Without further ado, we bring you this exciting interview.

marblemadness: So, Slurpen_Paradox, can you tell us more about what is happening behind the scenes?

Slurpen_Paradox: Yes! These are the most prominent armed forces that have been involved in the area.

marblemadness: Jolly gee! Is that an armed civilian? These people look very dangerous. Are there any other forces involved in the region as well?

Slurpen_Paradox: I’m glad you asked! Other than the “armed civilian” there have also been groups driven by various political ideologies. Here are the ones I managed to capture on camera:

Slurpen_Paradox: It’s not only ground troops that are fighting these battles. With the latest technological advancements we’ve seen in recent years all the primary countries involved in this conflict have acquired various planes, tanks, and armored vehicles to supplement their forces.

They seem to have a bunch of repainted ones as well as some that I haven't seen on the battlefield before!

marblemadness: All those vehicles looked dangerous. But hang on just a moment! This one does not look dangerous at all! Finally, some decent, upstanding…

marblemadness: …oh. I see. It belongs to the Liga Patriótica Argentina. Is there any other footage you would like to share?

Slurpen_Paradox: Yes. During my time in the deepest parts of the Amazons I’ve brought with me some dramatic photographs from the battlefields.

The senor hilter one will be a pain too unless they changed up how it works. Speaking of which it's Hilter, not Hitler paradox.
Yeah we have tuned it a bit

Can we see a portrait of Señor Hitler? And how can you get Señor Hitler as leader of Argentina? If he is leader, is there specific focus tree for him?
You'll have to see when the tree drops, we intentionally hid it for the diary

I don't know where you got this photograph of Minervinos being black, because all the photographs you find of him when you search on Google show him as a white man as illustrated by paradox, even Wikipedia shows him as a white man. I believe you are creating an unnecessary discussion here on the forum due to your misunderstanding.
No, its correct, its just that a lot of those old photos were very washed out and hard to make out. We are working on updating it

Dude, like an comrade on the forum explained, not enough to trust in photos where one person ins retrated as one white man. The reality of Brazil in the First Republic was characterized by a deep racism, with the federal government promoting immigrations policies in order to whiten the population. Furthermore, much more in-depth research, based on articles, shows that Minervino was in fact a black person.

This just came out from the news press! Bolivia will receive several new portraits (some featured here) and Rapa Nui has this charming hat-wearing fellow. We can also show off a bunch of the leader councils here too, as well as as some operatives that will be added to the La Resistance DLC.

As far as I love those new portraits I have to say that if the third gentelman in first row is Enrique Peñaranda del Castillo, then his portriat is also wrong. His mother was mestiso and his father was Aymara. On a photography of him sitting next to president Roosevelt its clear that his skin is much darker then FDRs.

Man, wikipedia it's not a trusted source, but, even in wikipedia page about Minervino says he was member of the black communist party collective. A lot of scientific articles say that, he was a black person.
This photos of him, it's a very know issue of the old republic in Brazil, the photo agencies in the time, made black people whiten in the pictures, to be more "acepptable". Unfortunately our society was racist at this point that time.

Minervino it's black, just search about it.

Okay, you convinced me, Minervino was really black. Paradox please fix this.

EDIT: thanks paradox for fixing this.

As fotografias que você encontra de Machado de Assis também o mostram branco. É um debate conhecido no Brasil e cadernos escolares patrocinados pelo governo ainda apresentam arte mostrando um Machado de Assis meio preto meio branco, referindo-se ao quão ignorante a própria população é sobre a cor da pele do escritor mais icônico do Brasil. Diante das pesquisas modernas, não acredito que a Wikipédia deva ser uma fonte definitiva e excessivamente confiável, e mesmo assim, ao conferi-la depois de mencioná-la, fica claro que ele se tornou um símbolo de grupos antirracistas no Brasil , e nas referências você ainda pode ver outros artigos falando mais sobre a cor da pele dele... De qualquer forma, você pode não ter lido, mas ele simplesmente não deveria ser branco como a neve como a maioria dos outros retratos.
Quanto à minha discussão ser desnecessária, discordo totalmente, pois este é um dos propósitos do fórum, para expressarmos feedback de forma construtiva, e outros antes de mim já mencionaram este caso específico no último Dev Diary.
And forgive me for saying that you were confusing everyone on the forum, it seems that the real confused person here was me.

Very cool! As an option for Chile you can add the achievement "True Prussia" need to control all German and Bulgarian territories. And here is such a vorposse. There will be a hidden tree of focuses (as in the pope of Italy or Poland), when in Argentina will bring Hitler, then opens a hidden path "Return to the home harbor", you can add to this achievement that would be for Argentina under Hitler should return all German territories.
It would be very interesting at the close loss of Germany (playing for it) to click on the decision that will send you to Argentina

Everytime i see new WC achievements that have to be done as some tiny nation i just feel like that gif from green mile where he says "I'm tired boss"
Maybe i should consider stopping my plan of maintaining 100% achievements in HOI4.
This one isn't so bad. You only have to control the land and you don't have to fight the Axis.

Hi, first I would like to say that I really liked the content, but I have some suggestions: if it were possible for the developers to make a small change in the translation of the game into Portuguese, when we create a template for a tank, ship, plane or soldiers to the part that informs "Max Speed" is translated as "Velocidade Máxima", although it is correct, the problem is that due to its size, the word "Máxima" overlaps the numerical value, impairing its visualization, so could you just leave "Velocidade"?
And they could also add some armored features or being a theorist of mobile warfare doctrine for the Brazilian General José Pessoa, he was the main defender of the use of armored vehicles during this period, and if we choose the democratic branch we would have General Bertoldo Klinger, he was the commander of the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution that aimed to overthrow Vargas.

For Argentina we have Hellmuth and Chile receives Rosita Serrano as operatives. Apart from them we have several connected to USA, Japan and Germany.

The operative in the bottom right, Rene Joyeuse, already exists as a French operative with a portrait from LaR. Will France no longer have access to this operative as he is being added as an American operative? As far as I know he did work for both the OSS and French intelligence. Nice operative portraits btw

Currently he is available for both to accommodate for this fact, but depending on sentiment things could perhaps change.
