Days 6-8: The Growing Threat
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Life, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair," -Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
Diplomatic Affairs:
On day 5, my coalition was divided. Manchukuo was kicked out of the coalition by Nationalist China, who then made British Odisha the leader of the coalition. Nationalist China had two units and wasn't doing anything. I was still in the coalition. The diplomats yearned to get Nationalist China out; they had 90 free victory points. Eventually, Nationalist China was kicked out of the coalition and Manchukuo was let back in. South China was in a devastating war with the Philippines, but the war eventually ended. Philippines was actually a cool dude, so we let him into the coalition. Bechuanaland had some pretty funny articles in the newspaper, and was expanding rapidly. I got share map with him. By now, my coalition has 850 points, and is in first place. Nationalist China went inactive, and we are mopping up the remains. My coalition gets along pretty well. However, Upper Volta, a country in Africa, was posting off color and inappropriate things in the newspaper. (See my post, Newspaper ridiculing me for Reporting, what should I do?) I did my rightful duty and reported him. Then, him and North Sudan started ridiculing the unknown reporter in the newspaper. I put spies in North Sudan and gave Bechuanaland peace instead of share map. He hasn't revoked share map.
Domestic Affairs: I have 250,000 dollars. I have given 100,000 away to South China and the Philippines, who are rebuilding their militaries. Morale is at an all time high. Japan has integrated into Korean society. North Brazil urgently reported that people spend more time on the toilet than exercising. Dictator Brutus passed the Decree of 1939. All people had to spend more time exercising than on the toilet.
Military Affairs: The Korean Army rushed through Khavabarosk, all but destroying them on Day 5. On day 6, the army destroyed East Yakutia, and on Day 7, West Yakutia. Today, the army will get to rest. Casualties have been low. 5 units have been destroyed, and 6 units have been sent home due to high casualties. Tomorrow, Siberia will be destroyed. The Korean fleet attacked Okinawa, which for some reason had 8 troops from Northwest USA on it. They were not hurt. One infantry conquered Okinawa. However, there has been a bigger threat. In Africa, the Bomnin Boys 2 coalition reigned. They had Mauritania, North and South Sudan, and Upper Volta. Bechuanaland was in their back pocket. They were rapidly expanding into Europe and the Middle East. When dissaproval was given for these actions, words were shot back and forth. Now, we stand at an uneasy peace.
World News: An alliance was formed in North America between Kentucky, Illinois, and New England. While they weren't in a coalition, they controlled all of North America, and were expanding into South America, with North Mexico, Venezuela, and South Argentina destroying the rest of South America. I gave North Brazil a city in Russia to retreat to. New Zealand, West Australia, and Queensland ruled Australia and the South Pacific. They fought a losing war against Madagascar.
Conclusion: The First World War looms. Who will win?
WHOS GONNA CARRY THE BOATS?
WHOS GONNA CARRY THE LOGS?
THEY DON'T KNOW YOU SON!
