Hi everyone! My first post in the Paradox forums (and AAR's 
) hope you enjoy reading it as I enjoyed doing it!
I've been reading Klavohunters Espana Victoriosa AAR and that's one of the reasons I wanted to make my own AAR and why it looks like this.

Chapter I, The Beginning
JANUARY 1936
Hungary as it was known in the beginning of year 1936.It was a chilly winter morning in January 1936 when people started to gather around the plaza of Millenary Monument. Today the legimate regent of Hungary, after it lost its King in 1914, Admiral Miklós Horthy was going to speak in front of the people about the future. Crowd cheered and yelled "Vitéz Nagybányai Horthy Miklós" as the almost 70-year-old regent step on the speakers.

Picture of Miklós HorthyThe national guard fired 2 shots in the air and the people cried "Vitéz Nagybányai Horthy Miklós!" and "One Hungary! Great Hungary!" This was the day that Hungary would start gearing up for the great war to restore its former self.
The old regent left the speakers and headed for his convoy, his prime minister was following behind him. Both sat in a black car and the doors were shut. "So we will go in war." Said the Foreign Minister.
Upgrading and reinforcing the current corps is the primary objective, after that I will put all the effort to increase IC.
- Changed Armament minister from +20% Supplies to +10% Infantry research.
- Changed slider to one step towards Interventionism
Hungarys Ganz & MAVAG military equipment supplier was ordered to improve field artillery and infantry equipment.
MAY, 1936
Only 4 months later new combat equipment was issued to the Hungarian army. Farkas Álmos (Farkas is family name but in Magyar family names come 1st so Miklós Horthy is Horthy Miklós in Magyar. I will use the western way family 2nd when talking in 3rd person and Magyarn way in 1st person) was one of the 1st ones to be issued the new gear. He was waiting in the line with his friend Gyula. Álmos said: "You know what this means Gyu?" -"Yeah.. we'r going for war, but I was already expecting this when the Admiral held the speech, but I couldn't imagine it would start so soon." -"True! And I have heard that they are attaching an artillery brigade on our division! Soon no one can stand us! We will strike those gipsies back to their petty wagons!"
Two moths later the both men are crawling under barbed wire somewhere in Hungary. Guyla yells over the voice of machine gun "Álmos! Do you think this is stupid? Crawl in mud when they shoot over us?" - "I don't know Gyu, but I know I want to get out of this place so keep crawling!"
Once in a lifetime situation?Miklós Horthy was just finishing his daily work and was ready to leave for lunch meeting when a messenger knocks his offices door. "Her Regent! A Civil War has errupt in the Iberian peninsula, Spain has divided! The Spanish armé has allied itself with the Nationalist Falangist party." -"What! Can this be true! Get my foreign minister here right now!" -"He is on his way Her." The messenger leaves the door and at the same time Foreign Minister Kálmán Kánya enters the room. "Do you have any requests Her Regent?" -"Yes. I wan't you to take contact with the Nationalists foreign minister and sign the best treaty you can because our new Armament Minister Bela Imrédy made calculations and told me that our industries need more rare materials to keep going, or we will fall in depression." -"Yes Her. I will make call as soon as I can." -"Good. Now I will go see an important person. I'll be on lunch till evening."
The both men leave the office and depart. Regent heads for the entrance of the Imperial Palace and walks to his car where the driver is already waiting. The Regent sat in the car "Drive to Restaurant Gundel, I have an important meeting." The restaurant Gundel was not far from the Imperial Palace so the car arrived there shortly. A scientist was already waiting in the table when the Regent arrived. As the scientist saw the Regent arrive he immediately stood up and bid him welcome "Welcome her Regent! Words can't describe how I have dreamed of this moment!" -"No need to make a scene, Her Weiss. I'm here only for a business meeting with you." -"Ah! Of course her! I apologize. Then shall we begin?" The both men sat down and made their orders. Horthy: "So you are saying that you made a breakthrew in the development of bomber planes?" -"Ah. Yes Her Regent. I discovered it last night when I was studying German models. If I may say that German models are fantastic, it is a very good thing that we have so good relations with them." -"It indeed is Her Weiss."
Her Weiss' discovery.
JANUARY 4th 1937
Budapest, Imperial Palace: "Yes. This is the Chief of the Army. Ah. It's you her Regent! Command the 1st and 2nd Állandó Hadsereg to Deprecen her Regent? Ah I see. I will send a message. Thank you her." Minister closes the phone and then picks it up again. "This is Chief of the Army. Is this Lt. General Nagy? I have a direct order from the Regent himself. 1st Állandó Hadsereg must prepare itself and move to province of Deprecen by 13th of March, 2nd Állandó Hadsereg will company you. No Lt. General, I do not think this will errupt in war just yeat. Yes. Take care her Lt.." Again the phone disconnects and a new number is dialed. "2nd Állandó Hadsereg Lt. General Ferjentsik? Good. I have an order from the Regent himself. 2nd and 1st Állandó Hadseregs must move to Deprecen and prepare themselves. No her. I don't think so. Yes I will send your gratitude to her Regent."
The 1st and 2nd Állandó start preparing themselves and head for Deprecen at March 10th. Again the two friends, Gyula and Álmos are with their 1st Hadsereg. "You know what's going on Guy?" -"Not any specific. But I think we'r marching towards Romania." -"Romania!? I was never good at geographics, but isn't it very far away? -"It is, but what else can we do Ál?" Hazy spring morning, March 12th. The 1st and 2nd Állandó Hadsereg arrive at the border of Romania, after marching two days in a row.
At the same time a plane flies over them, carrying Foreign Minister Kálmán Kánya to Bucharest. Plane lands and Minister steps out from it. The welcoming party is very cold. Only 2 man are waiting for the Hungarian diplomat as he steps down from the plane. They greet each other and walk to car convoy that is waiting. The convoy stops at a hotel where passengers leave it and head for the conference room. Day passes as the Ministers try warming the chilly air between them but as soon as they get into business, returning Transylvania to Hungary, Romanians demand to end the negotiations. Minister Kánya returns to his apartment to have good night sleep before continuing his his trip tomorrow.
March 14th Foreign Minister makes a quick call to Hungary to tell the Regent that negotiations with Romania had failed, again, and that he would fly to Czech in the evening. "1st Állandó, Lt. General Nagy speaking. Ah good day her commander. To Miskolc her commander? Ah! I see her commander! I will tell Lt. General Ferjentsik. By March 16th? Affirmative her commander. Yes, if we do not recieve a message before the border we will attack Czechoslovakia. Yes sir."
March 15th, 0300 (3AM). A private plane lands in Bratislava. Hungarian Foreign Minister steps out of the plane and Czech ministers wave to him. "Welcome sir! This way Mr. Kálmán! We have a car waiting." Ministers enter the car and head for hotel. Day passes as the Ministers depade wether Hungary has legimate claim on Slovakia or not. 10 o-clock. "This is outrageous! Don't you people understand! You do not have an option! If you do not surrender Slovakia to Hungary, we will occupy it by tomorrow! Our forces are already moving across the borders!" -"But Mr. Kálmán is there no other option? What about Slovakians?" -"Slovakians were part of Hungary and shall be once again. Now will you give me a phone and I'll call our Regent that Czechoslovakia gives up Slovakia to Hungary." -"We must discuss about this for a moment, please excuse us." The two Czech ministers leave the room and Minister Kálmán whispers to himself "By all means neccessary he said.." The two Ministers return after few minutes and sign the paper. Kánya Kálmán, Foreign Minister of Hungary, calls to his Regent and passes the good news. Regent sends message to army and the Állandós are told to stop at Miskolc and not proceed to Slovakia. The international comission is informed and Slovakia is legimately part of Hungary by 17th of March, 1937.
