Chapter 1 - Before the war
Jan 1914 - First we have to reorganize our forces. We will deploy our divisions along the borders of our enemys, France and Russia. We need also to bring back home our lone division in africa - Douala ( wich is dying of hunger
) and return the lone cruiser - Karlsruhe, patroling in south atlantic.
End of Fev 1914 - The redeployment is completed. We have now 36 divisions facing 28 french divisions, and 35 divisions in the east against 53 russian divisions. our allys Austria-Hungary and Italy also have deployed against france and russia. We also have arranged for a small force of 10 divisions to be available to help our allys in case they need.
Mexicans still fight Mexicans, and the russians are trying to retake by diplomacy what they have lost for Japan in 1905, but Japan doesn't accept.
March 1914 - Nothing much happening, we have increased our research to try to make the plane into a new formidable weapon, and we are also training our armies to increase their efficiency. Still no excuse...
