--- Blame it on RIO ---

Jan 1 - 1936

New years celebrations rocked the world of Rio - what a city!
Hot New Years - over 30 degrees Celcius (like 100F+ for the Americans) what a concept :)

And, top it all off with Carnival about to start sometime in Feb/March... the date always changes... oh well, you know it's on when the city streets fill with barely clad women dancing :D Which reminds me of last night...

I'm sitting here, at the copacabana, enjoying the sites... recovering from the partying last night. Government does have its perks ;), we had a grand party here. Scandal? - bah! - I have a scandalous reputation (read: heritage) to uphold... perhaps you've heard of dom Pedro? :D

In any case, me and my cabinet, their families, and many young government employees had a grand party... One of the girls from down by the Argentinian border - in Porto Alegre - got together with me in the presidential suites...

She brought her girlfriend from Tefe, up by the Colombian border. What a pair... those two make... *sigh* - well, needless to say, the girl from Tefe brought some of the local flora with her to help celebrate the festivities. =D

It turns out they all pretty much have friends - all over the place (I make sure of that) - some in Argentina, some in Chile, some in Columbia - I've met them all (nice girls everywhere) :). We then indulged - got pretty wrecked...

.....
smoke clears
...
vision returns
...
I see visions of the usa bombing my south american people - in Colombia
...
planes riding a path of flame from their backs, raining fire upon the land!
...
the people dying
...
devastation everywhere
...
smoke clears
...
vision returns
...
I see visions of the brits killing my south american people - in Argentina this time - something about the islands
...
the people dying
...
smoke clears
...
vision returns
...
I see visions of a future brutal puppet - Pinochet - killing and torturing my south american people - supported by the usa
...
the people dying
.....

I wake up in a cold sweat - the girls draped over my body - I try to smile
- need to keep perspective -
this should be the future of south america - under Brazil - I won't let this happen to the people I love so dearly

They both cuddle closer - wiggling their gorgeous bosoms into my sides
I find it easier to smile this time remembering the night before

But I remember the dream which is NOT a dream
-then I remember who I am-
-I can do something about it-

I'm Getulio Vargas - I run Brazil
I WILL NOT LET THEM DO THIS
 
Later that day

I called a meeting of my top political people - we played a game of poker into the wee hours - during the game, I discussed the need to pool the resources of all South America into a common block. We need a united front, I hoped that all the other countries could see it that way, but of course, realize that the reality is not going to be that easy.

The key for them is to remember, we are not doing this to 'rule', but rather to 'unite' - the people will allow us to continue if we constantly remind them of this point. Of course I know it's propaganda, but then again, if you don't fill the void, someone else will.

They've been asked to jump off a cliff on faith, and accepted.

I then discussed why we should not 'cry for Argentina' :)
I commissioned some mountain infantry, and worked out the details of our research and economics. Everything needs some serious boosting. First and formost, the basics - decent guns, equipment, mobilization, research into industry advancement... it was all important.

Next up... Operation: Don't cry for me Argentina ;)
 
Btw people - I'd like any and all feedback about this young AAR - my first real attempt... I know playing a minor country usually doesn't amount to much... but Brazil I hope has a chance... (I'm also having serious thoughts to join the axis or the ruskies - to hopefully get some serious tech going - but I'd like to be able to quit when I want :( I guess that isn't much of an option eh?)

Also, I'm using CORE 0.85 - but I know 0.90 is ALMOST out - what do you all think? Should I wait for it?
 
With all these samba going on, I think you need a swede to stiffen the mood :rolleyes:

I'll keep an eye on this. Gorgeous South American girls are too rare in ARRs to pass this up. Be sure to post lots of screenies.

*nudge nudge, say no more* :p

She will be my mascot :) - Actually - she's one of the girls from the new years party - she had to come over to show me her carnival outfit :p

I'll have time to get to the real meat of Operation: Dont cry for me Argentina, and Operation: Chile with your fries caballero?

I hope to get them going soon...
 
Update

UPDATE: Sorry people --- I really WILL finish this AAR ---

the CORE stuff has been playing with me... first 0.90 came out and I tried to restart...

then a short time later the 0.91 CORE came out and I'm back at square one


I'm trying to re-do my work :)
