Poland pleads to Germany, asking them once again to sign a non-aggression pact.

[Badger]

you just boycotted their Olympics and told others too also

I don't think they will want to oblige

[Juncoph]

The cruisers in Cuba for repairs are in pristine condition again,
and are returned to the Colombian shoreline escorting two jury-rigged trade ships.
These trade ships are both carrying biplane parts,
 enough to build about 16-20 of these biplanes in question.

Meanwhile, on Colombian shores, dug in troops are told to begin working on an airfield.
The Cuban navy begin to focus more on the beach-head again,
to protect the troops from an unexpected attack.

Cruisers also land troops on the occupied trading ports, but do not interfere with the civilians.
 They begin to root up the trace amounts of police and military, planning to occupy it themselves,*
(via tents from the cruisers and the quarters within the cruisers themselves; see civilian intervention prevention law)
thus ensuring that Colombia is unable to form a navy.

*civilian trade is not being blockaded

ok i dont think i can follow this thread
i cant stay active all day erry day - and today, i wasnt able to come on at all, so i missed 10 goddamn pages of content

should i just back out


edit: also support republican spain - not actually sending any forces in, as doing that with the people already worried over possible war would be bad - we'll only send troops if it gets close to a win by fascist spain

[Jairo]

olympics are now over


canada expresses concerns regarding the united states' embargo of an ally

cuba offers trade with portugal and finland, it would also like to increase trade with denmark, norway, and sweden

ok


luxembourg draws attention that germany is loading up troops in the rhineland

colombia has decided to ramp their conscription up from partial to total mobilization

colombia calls upon venezuela to aid them although they aren't allied

should i just back out

that is for you to decide. this roleplay will only get more in depth as the second great war inches closer


mao zedong has proclaimed himself leader of the newly established "people's republic of china"

although the chinese civil war has not come to a definitive end, due to red china's official existence, the civil war has been expanded into the war of the two chinas


the tibetan war for independence has so far been a mountainous guerrilla stalemate

the rugged terrain and cramped conditions prove unwise to crew 600,000 men with. the republic of china, having lost its capital, considers letting tibet remain in order to close a front and reintroduce 600,000 troops to the war


regarding the spain-italy debacle: italy did not attack spain yet. the phrase "in order to", as used by swat in this quote

Italy declares war on Republican Spain (moreso just "i don't support you" and, with Italia's strengthened navy, which has two technology spots higher than that of Republican Spain, comes in a newer formation in order to attack the Spanish ships attempting to sever Morocco and Iberia. Planes are to support these fleets, but this is of course a very minimum. It reminds all captains and crew members that British Gibraltar is NOT a target. It is NOT to be fired at.

implies that it is an action to be put into effect, not one that is actively happening

for that reason, spain does indeed have some of its small navy intact, although they are in port. italy is currently advancing upon spain. there has been no combat between the two forces yet

who are the top 3 in the olympic medal table

[Jairo]

who are the top 3 in the olympic medal table

usa, germany, and sweden

(although I didn't mention every npc nation attending, it was implied)

[Badger]

little taiwan shall be mine

[Swat 3]

Okay then.

Chasing them away seems to not really be that base.
Italy sets most of its ships into a defensive position once they recognize that Britain is coming nearish Gibraltar. They decide not to attack it as it would probably cause a direct war. Transports are sent to land troops into southern Republican Spain; these troops, on an assumption basis, a mix of the variously supported nations or something. The transports' escorts are sent to bombard the beach heads before the troops land.

The other ships mentioned before are some of the best of the fleet to chase the Spanish fleet back to the ports where they try to do basic hit and run mechanics.

R&D

Italia's great scientists and people who hit metal with wrenches are happy to report that the GWR of Artillery, as well as the Great War Biplane, are finished. Also, due to participation in the Spanish Civil War and the ability to test tactics, the Great War Hand-Me-Down was also completed. Italy is pleased to reveal that they are beginning research on the GWR of Experimental Tech as well as Gas Masks. Due to special circumstances, Italy also chooses to research and develop the Early Railway Gun.

[Decepticon]

With the completion of past studies, Germany has begun progress with watercraft research, as well as experimental weapons.

For half an hour, a Colombian fortification on the coast is bombarded by the Cuban navy.
Then they're flanked by Cuban ground forces that used their naval comrades as a distraction.
The battle for a second beach begins.

About an hour in,
Cuba's biplanes begin to assist both the Navy (in bombardment of heavier fortifications),
 and the infantry (in gunning down dug in troops).

Meanwhile, in Cuba, work on constructing railway guns that can be disassembled,
 put on a ship, and reassembled in Colombia begins.

Also, Cuban propaganda is put up in the occupied trade hubs, but any civilians that take action by tearing,
for example, posters, down are not considered hostile. When they leave the area, the propaganda is put back up.

Pro Guerra Relámpago propaganda is also put up in the Cuban homelands,
emphasizing on the reason for the war is to liberate the innocent Colombian people.
It depicts Colombian rebels and Cuban soldiers fighting together,
bandaging one another and even eating together at a captured beach.

colombian fascist rebels gain more support as the country enters a controversial total mobilization


chilean fascists, getting caught up in the andes, have had little effect to inspire other villages to defect to their cause

france politely tells luxenbourg that no stuff we already figured that out

french officials ask the british to help us calm our people so in the case of actual war we're not stuck in the mud
