German aar jan 36 to ?

In 36 the German economy experienced a strong growth of more than 60% and German scientist made major discoveries. The new strong Germany is clearly the envy of the world and the old European powers France and England were very displeased. Already they are planning with the communists in the east to attack us. But Germany will not let the Bolsheviks take over Europe.
To protect Europe from this rising threat a defensive alliance has been forged with Italy, Hungary and Romania. Spain had almost been taken over by the communist if it was not for the brave Franco, who led a struggle to save Spain. Naturally aid to sent to aid him in his effort to oppose the red tide and we salute him on his victory.
A most worrisome development has taken place in China, where nationalist stopped fighting the communists. Long have Germany supported the struggle against communists there by sending aid and advisors. Now only Japan can save the Chinese from communism and our aid and advice will go to them.

GERMAN REMILITARIZATION!

GERMANS OCCUPY RHINELAND AND BEGIN MILITARY BUILDUP!

The German state has conducted a reoccupation of the Rhineland, as forbid by the treaty of Versailles. The French Prime Minister has condemned this act and has begun a large rearmament program aimed at stopping German aggression. Our allies in Britain and America, however, bid us to watch and wait. We will see how far the Nazi leaders are willing to go.
 
NATIONALIST PARTY OF CHINA

With the war with the communists now behind us, we must focus on rebuilding China, and ensuring our survival against any would be attackers---in the current situation, however, I am sure that if any attack were to come...it would be from Japan.

The Japanese have been ever more imperialist and aggressive since they invaded Manchuria, part of our beloved land. Their invasion leaves a stain on relations; I have no doubt, they intend to control all of China!

But, they will not succeed: with the warlords uniting under our party for the upcoming struggle, China will stand STRONG! We will not fold so easily---and certainly neither will our HONOR!

The Japanese may be strong....they may have many ships and many planes, with vast resources at their disposal.....

But they are nothing to us Chinese. For a millenia, China has bested Japan culturally, militarily, and economically---there is NO way we will fall to some backwards island country!!!!

Our peoples honor will serve us well, and we will fight them should they invade till the last breath!!

It is a new age for China!!! It will last for an eternity!!!!

Nationalist Spain

It had been years of struggle in Spain between the Left-Wing and the Right-Wing. Late in July, a time after the election in Spain, a civil war is broken out between these parts. At the beginning it´s quite equal, but the pleasant countries of Italy and Germany is sending nescessary materials and divisions to support the Nationalist front. The Nationalists shows their skills and the civil war is won after couple of weeks.

After the war, the legion condor and co is returning home to Germany and Italy with valuable experience and hopefully the relations between the Axis and Nationalist Spain can grow even more.
Franco is focusing on building more industries but also infantries to prepare for a future threat - the liberals..
 
Japan

jan 1936 - feb 1937


Japan began 1936 with big political and military reforms. The huge garrisonarmy has been reschooled into flying airplanes. The backward tribes on the continent are a cause for concern. Their nomadic lifestyle has no place in the 20th century. Our friends in manchuria have reported several borderintrusions by their cattle. This cannot be tolerated. A preemptive strike
against these folks could be needed before it gets out of hand. Our ideological brothers in europe have been a big burden for our economy, (10500 supplies)which could make a summercampaign tough as our reserves are all empty. :eek:

Political isolationism continues in congress, as the president attempts to thaw international interest domestically. The concerned of FDR are many, Germany building industry and threatening to rearm, Japan planning preemptive strikes in Asia, Italy expanding its holdings in Africa. The American people continue to keep their heads in the sand concerning foreign affairs and the affect it will eventually have on them. FDR has formed a new advisory team to observe the new political situations dawning in the world and keep him well informed.

Revolution - United Kingdom


Despite emerging victorious in WW1 the United Kingdom has seen her power wane in the last few years. Germany has become quite impressive recently, while the United Kingdom is being torn apart by politics and dissent. Lines of battle are being drawn and one can only hope that by giving the germans everything they want that they will be pacified and chose against war and the inevitable death and destruction that would be the result of it. On the bright side France has built the magnificent Maginot line which should easily hold the Germans back should they chose to go to war.
 
Italy


Personal log from Benito Mussolini:

1936 Jan 1.:
Finally we have the proof for what Hitler attracted my attention years ago.The alien menace is in our doorstep, and we have only little time left before their global domination,as they already infested most of the world goverments. They came in the last years of the Great War(or maybe they even started it), and offered their help in research to uk and his allies,in
return for power and wealth in those countries and the defeated ones in europe. We suspect they have superior technology ,but only share those ,what is a must to increase their influence,so we dont know what they are trulely capable of. The tank was one of the many project which led them to
victory over Germany.Hitler nealy lost his sanity when he encountered with their fiendish kind in a devasted trench,where everybody assumed death. After the war he started to build up his sect to fight the aliens.He formed a fasict party similar to mine but acts more agressively,and only the most trusted members know the truth about the party's real purpose to save mankind and purge the aliens out. But aliens was wise and hid all their presence from the humans,they even changed their appearance to human,only some key ministers know the truth.After they got into power, Hitler started to ban the possible aliens from their positions and moved them to camps.
Hitler has gathered little information about them ,looks like they have two main groops one is presented in uk and one is in ussr, their relation is unknown to us but probably not friendly. The westers already infested most of europe ,they adopt a culture and only lives for money,wealth and power as most capitalists do ,they took nearly all key places in the goverment and in the firms, and only allowes their kind into these jobs. The eastern ones are more warrior style.They developed the communism to make people easier to control and keep them blind to the truth, as they only beleive in full obedience made by fear and power, so they constantly fight among themselfs. I didnt beleive this until my agent brought an original body one of their elder ones,who didnt changed his form. That day I had to rethink our history and what realy had happened.
If not me than who will stop them ? So I decided to do anything to save the mankind from eternal enslavement or full extinction. Hitler's high command worked out a strategy ,which could work,it full of war and bloodshed and casualty will be high,but maybe this is our last chance, and we have to do what is necessary. In this matter I ordered my ministers to prepare Italy for the comming events.

Between Jan 1 '36 and Jan 1 38':

We made an alliance with germany in the first week,and weeks later Hungary and Romania joined our cause,this must surprised our enemies as they started to bolster their actions in europe. My research teams worked hard to improve some of our weapons,they made a good job as our new units are nearly 3 times stronger than our initial divisions. A generation of ships are beeing built and soon will be finished even the England doesnt have such fast and powerfull ships today.
In the other hand Germany improved the alien techs given to allies. We increased our conscription to 600 men per day and gave better machines for the workers and farmers. Even if we didnt make big mistakes,our strengh wont be enough only so we started negotiations whit many countries some are worked some are not. Things have drastically changed, when a civil war broken out in Spain ,we know it is between free humans and the alien infested slaves. We've sent many leaders and vehicles,supplies to aid them but the aliens did the same, luckily they weren't ready for a quick event so
we wont easily, but next time it can be different, they already started to prepare. Portugal quickly joined the westers before the victorious spanish could invade them. Spain doesnt want to join us as they suffered great losses during the war and their will to continue fight is dropped too much. Well Bulgaria is with us it is little but at least something.But we should not forget the easterns so we made a pact against communism what is must kept at bay until we put an end the aliens in west europe,strangely their inner fight is too harsh, it uses all their resource so they wont be a problem in the near future,but looks like Stail the current leader can hold his place,while thousands were executed to show his power.
While we looked at our close neightbours, Japan on the other side of the globe start an all out attack on China. We are not sure what is the situation there ,but loos like Japan isnt infested yet nor China.While his forces quickly take over north east China,they had been stopped some months later.As a consequence Uk and France started to infiltrate China from their far east
bases,even USA and SU showed great interest in china(dont know the reason).Therefor we sent an emisiary to Hirohito japan's current emperor, well he signed the pact against communists but nothing more, maybe in the future he will allie us ,so I'll personally negotiate with him in the next year.

:D

Japan

Feb 1937 - jan 1938


In the summer of 1937 the generals made their move against china.
The only possible way to invade was according to intelligencereports,
from the north through manchuria. All beaches of mainland china was heavily garrisoned with at least 3-4 divs in each province. When the push began the chinese army was thrown on their backs immediately. The way they ran made us believe that running was their only military training that they have had.

Shanxi was quickly annexed but after that a huge human shield of divs was placed infront of our armies. We began to look for openings for a second front... A relatively weak beach of northern china was spottet and attacked, but the attack wasnt successful. A winteroffensive was launched and a pocket of 20 chinese "elite" division has been cut off in northeastern china on a pennisula. It seems like theyre not getting any supplies so time will work against them, just as it will work against the whole chinese alliance.


An overview on the current situation

Total victory is scheduled for late next summer says Hirohito.

NATIONALIST CHINA

Excrept from 'The Coming Winds'

"It happened just as I knew it would. The Japanese, alarmed at our recent growth of force in both ourselves and our warlord allies, invaded our ally to the north--Shanxi. The attack was swift; though we hoped to discourage any thoughts of invasion by providing a defensive line that appeared strong, the Japanese still assaulted our lines and stormed through, ravaging the countryside as they went; our forces pulled back in full retreat, only stopping here and there long enough to hold them while a secondary defense line was formed at the river bordering Shanxi.

We DID manage to successfully establish the line while the Japanese---who were stretching themselves thin as they went---lurched through Shanxi chasing us. Our lines held, only to later be slammed in the east through Jinan, which we had deemed undefendable; from there, the Japanese attempted to storm through and head straight for Nanjing. But, they were stopped by recently acquired reinforcements, and are currently being held although they have managed to corner a significant amount of divisions in Yantai. The situation there looks bad, but I know that no matter what the result our soldiers will die giving the Japanese pure hell!

As time moves on, our forces become stronger and more unified; we are ready to push these Japanese devils out of our land and BACK into the sea---but, it will take time. Soon, we will have reached a military potency that Japan will feel and fear of for decades to come---nothing can save them now, they will suffer OUR judgement now!

To further prove that we are capable of defending ourselves and capable of defeating the Japanese, we humiliated them by taking two of their precious, far off islands---Truk and Satawan.

Aerial photographs of our glorious conquest!

These two islands would have proved pivotal to Japans future efforts of expansion in the future, but because the foolish Japanese chose to barely even DEFEND them, they now belong to GLORIOUS China!

With our great victory ahead, and our people united under one banner, the future looks bright for the great land of CHINA!"

Usa

The USA continues to deal with internal policy disputes. One side wishes to continue the complete isolationalist doctrine of the past 2 decades The other side lead by FDR, wants to prepare for war. Both sides are watching the events in Asia with caution. For the first time in 2 decades policy may well be dictated by events abroad.

Nationalist Spain

In the year of 1937, nothing really happened in Spain.
Franco continued to focus on building a lot of factorys, while the mighty german reich influenced Spain alot to their point of view.
 
CANADIA

Unfortunately, up until this point, the Motherland was being commanded by an incompetent moron, who decided it was in the nation's interest to spam infrastructure and outdated destroyers. To add to this, the fool had allowed the oppressive UK to command our mighty military. They shipped our divisions to some godforsaken island, then refused to supply them! Thanks to the efforts of our heroic navy, we rescued them, but not without losing thousands of men. Be warned, British Empire, we will not forget this insult.

A new building regime was adopted, and Canadia's destroyer flotillas were renamed.

Join us in the anthem, comrades!

O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
 
The Legacy of the Tricolore

France

The nation has continued rearmament, with little activity out of Germany, a war in China has been launched, the brutality of which few expected. the Japanese have overrun northern China and threaten to break out into southern China, however the Chinese armies are strong, and that war is not yet over. France realizes she has her own problems directly across the Rhine, and we shall not forget or grow soft.

However, soon France's fortunes shall take a turn for the worse

A yellow star on red rises on the horizon.
 
German 1 January 38 to 30 June 38

Germany continued her industrial growth in 37 and in 38 it was reliazed that the UK and france had been rebuilding their armies, so fuhrer ordered a defensive build of tanks and cas bombers.

Nationalist Spain
Under the era of early 1938, the economy flourished in Spain and everything went fine. The industries floated well, and as you can see, 9 factorys was built in a row.

Usa

The politicians in the USA have grown concern with the immense industrial growth of the axis powers. Japan has had many successes against china and again the US political groups do nothing. When will US Political factionalism take a back seat to the obvious threat from Japan and possible threat from the German alliance in the future? Only time will tell. The undercurrents of many voices are growing stronger, and they suggest a new growth policy in military armaments and technology. These voices will only grow stronger with every Japanese success and every aggressive political action taken by Hitler and his alliance.
