Fighting nears Bombay in India
Nearly 312,000 Army Infantry have neared 10-20 miles north of Bombay. Where heavy fighting is occuring. Casualities are amounting but the Indian Army will either surrender or collapse in a while. But the Indian Army is offering heavy resistence. Many of the major Indian Military bases have moved further south. So we have made some more advance in India.

Here are the casualities:

Republic Troops:
Killed - 19,150
Injured - 6,110

Indian Troops:
Killed - 56,100
Injured - 71,200
Captured and Demilitarized - 121,250

IC:
Great Principality scientist Vitruvian Bob, in trying to create what he calls a “Microfusion
Engine,” has built an intermediary prototype he calls a “Minifusion Engine.” He hopes to
make further advances in the filed of fusion miniturization.

To Britain, Scandinavia, and North Asia:
Our nations have created the Alliance of the 3 Sabres Worldwide Entente. I hope that we
can all help each other’s nations in times of need. My nation, the GP, has sent North Asia
15 Tungsten-Armoured Hovertanks to help with the war effort in India. I thank Scandinavia
for the N1000 it has sent to my nation. I am currently sending scientist Vitruvian Bob’s files
for making Minifusion Engines to all three of you. Hopefully he will soon discover the
secret of microfusion. Long live the 3SWE Alliance!

IC:
UAN proposes an joining of the 3SWE alliance. Let us live long and prosper. Do you accept?

Meanwhile, Chairman WarVoid stands looking over the vast Siberian tungsa to the north of his domain. Today we start moving our military into the area to begin a complete conquest of Siberia. The 200,000 surviving infantry from the Slav Wars have been moved to protect the northern borders from any counteroffensives the Siberians might take. Only three plasma armor survived the war and are in Aryas undrgoing repairs. Samara, Astrakhan and Rostov have begun construction on new armors to be shipped to the north. This should take at least three months.

English News Update

The entire british military is on red alert! Conscription efforts are underway to put another 500,000 men under arms. Troops are moving to the ports and the Royal Navy is now putting to sea for war!

Imperial Update:

British Commonwealth
Government: Absolute Monarchy
Population: 96,750,000
Capital City: London
Territories: England, Ireland, Scotland, Southern Norway

Royal Army
1,000,000 Infantry
5,000 Hovertanks
5,000 Plasma Cannons(Artillery)

Royal Air Force
1000 Bombers
2400 Attack Fighters
2400 Interceptors

Royal Navy
2 Fleet Carriers
4 Battleships
12 Air Defense Frigates
12 Missile Cruisers
12 Escort Carriers
16 AEGIS Destroyers
16 Submarines
24 Destroyers
12 Landing Assault Ships

Commonwealth Naval Bill
King Arthur has ordered the construction of:
3 Fleet Carriers
24 Air Defense Frigates
24 Missile Cruisers
36 Aegis Destroyers
36 Destroyers
48 Submarines
12 Landing Ships

Due to the massive cost of the program, a 5% special tax is now being levied on clothing, food and the tax is increased on luxuries by 1% to 6%(which is PA standard!!). Also the program is being staggered with half in 1.5 years, the second half in 3 years. (I hope this makes it more realistic or atleast believable!! I am trying to be militant!)

Research is also beginning on Microfusion in cooperation with the other 3 schimtars members!

The Mauritania Campaign is now completed with the last of the Federal forces being driven into neighboring nations or surrendering to our troops. Mauritania is now an official colony of the British Empire and settlers and engineering battalions are already moving in to develop this new land once again, after centuries of despotic rule.

Tax protestors are being arrested and shown videos obtained from the Slavic Wars showing German atricities on the steppes and their fearsome naval vessels wreaking havoc on Slavic Shipping. This is in an effort to show them why we are building such a massive navy and secretly conscripting troops, and to convince them and their compatriots to cease protesting.

To World: We have recently obtained video from partisans and British operatives of German atrocities on the Slavic front. Segments of the video, shot from a distance, apparently show German troops executing families of military troops and officers after brutally raping and torturing both women and children. Other segments show a new holocaust underway with the apparent execution of minorities and ethnically impure people! We must put a stop to this at once!

To 3 Sabres: We must put a stop to the German brutality in the steppes. we should consider a blockade or even military intervention to save the people from the long thwarted German Lebensraum! My forces are on full alert and are ready to go and my fleet is putting to sea as we speak!

To Royal States of America: We are in contct with underground Canadian Resistance groups waiting for a vulnerability until they strike! Please relinquish control of Canada or else we may find ourselves aiding and abetting rebels in your canadian states!

To all 3SWE members:
Please help our fellow member Britain in its upcoming war with Germany.

To Britain:
Currently en route to the North Sea, from the GP military bases, are:

1 Tungten-Armoured Elite Dreadnought, the GPS Freedom

1 Carrier, the GPS Hamilcar, carrying 5 Air-Carriers, and numerous fighters and bombers

2 Battleships, GPS Mandela and GPS Archimedes

Several transport ships carrying 150,000 troops, half of the GP’s Grand Army, led by the
renowned GP general Donner Khan, and 200 Tungsten-Armoured Hovertanks


King Arthur, will you temporarily allow the GP use of one base on the coast of England to
base our operations from?

Additionally, I (Prince Hamilcar Dan) must note that any territory we conquer during the
course of this war will become GP territory.

Long live the 3SWE!


GP News:
GP authorities have ordered the conscription of 200,000 more troops and the production of
300 Tungsten-Armoured Hovertanks. These processes should take a few months to
complete.
GP shipyards have begun production of 1 Tungsten Armoured Elite Dreadnought, 2
carriers, and 4 battleships. Construction of these should take about 8 months.
Additionally, fighter and bomber production rates have been increased, and several more
Air Carriers are in the works.

A poll taken by the Independent African News Service reports that 84% of all GP citizens
support furthered involvement in the 3SWE.


OOC: what is the time scale in this story thread? how many months does 1 day equal?

Got spare money?

We the Republic of North Asia was the first to find out about the atrocities committed by the Germans, but that was unoffical so we couldn't do anything about it. So if the UAN lets us deploy troops to go through their nation and attack Germany, we will be abled to help, but at this time there is a war going on in India, where most of troops are centered. We could send up to 350,000 Men in the Army with 1,000 Plasma Tanks.

We also agree to let the UAN to be in the 3SWE Alliance. Let the Alliance live long!

Yes, 1 day = 1 month. Roughly speaking

IC:
We agree on the proposal set by the R.N.A. to send it's troops across out territory. Our trops are being moved from the Siberian front to the western front to help. We have not yet offically declared war on Germany so we are not attacking. Another 100,000 infantry were moved from the central and eastern borders to support the west and north frontlines today. 3 plasma armor have been completed in Aryas making our total army of 25 armor. Small but efficent. Ion cannons besieged the northern Siberian city of Tyumen today. Our forces are slowly moving foward.
We also wish to thank all nations for supporting our membership into the alliance.

In a stunning move today, Prime Minister Lu Meng ordered the 365,000 troops, 375 ships, and 200 plasma fighters/bombers at Okinawa to invade Japan. Suprise, since most thought China would disarm, combined with a blitzkrieg attack, equaled devastation for southern Japan. Kyushu island fell within hours, though heavy fighting is still going on in the cities of Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Kitakyushu. It is unknown the casualties, but believed to be in the thousands. Electromagnetic pulse weapons* have crippled Japanese communications, destroyed almost all Japanese electronics, and created havoc for metallic items by causing them to magnetize. Plasma bombers already at Kyushu have started to carpet bomb the cities of Yamaguchi and Hiroshima, which are on Honshu island, and Matsuyama, which is on Shikoku island.

60,000 more troops, along with 50 ships, and 50 plasma bombers have left Shanghai, joining in the invasion. A lesser force of 10,000 troops, 10 ships, and 30 plasma bombers have left Qingdao, also heading for Japan.

Resistance movements have made the invasion of Shikoku island less successful.

Public opinion of the invasion is mixed; a poll shows that 61% agree with the invasion, 18% don't agree, and 21% don't care.

First Troops reach Germany
Nearly 62,500 Troops of the First Brigade have reached the border of Germany in the UAN. Our Troops are now pounding military strongholds, to weaken their power to make war. With Britain and RNA Troops on Both sides, this will likely weaken Germany and it may collapse within a few months. If more people attack Germany than it will fall earlier.

And, Mao you have to give me a reason why these two "agents" went into my country.

MARSHALL OF SCANDINAVIAN MILITARY REPORTS

Our infantry has very slowly grown in size over time. We now have 650.000 infantry + 50.000 British troops. Other equipment, various war machines are scarce. As the 3SWE wants us to attack against Germany, we have massed 200.000 troops to Baltic area. The troops are undergoing special training for the Baltic area just now. We except that we don't need very much troops there, if we join our troops with UAN's and then attack the Germans together. Scandinavian army is easily able to send 200.000 more troops if even small troubles come.

SCANDINAVIAN MINISTER OF ECONOMY REPORTS

The Scandinavian democracy has bought way too much N1000 from the N A N O technologies lately. We simply can not afford this all. I advice _very_ deep consideration before loading our economy with even more spending.

PRIME MINISTER ALGORITHM RUN 746353562

Yesterday, a vote was taken on Scandinavia's stance towards Germany.

35.12% Attack
62.57% Defend if they attack
27.45% No action

With this vote, Scandinavian democracy masses forces to Baltic areas and makes sure that the Germany doesn't get an opportunity to attack. Airplanes are used to scout the area. UAN's attack is spotted, but assistance is, by Scandinavian laws, illegal, though new elections can be taken after a month and only 50% support is needed for attack.

MESSAGE TO SCANDINAVIAN COMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES; ALL AREAS

The Scandinavian democracy is willing to ease your taxes if you send these programs during the next month:

"The Holocaust"
"Black side of Germany"
"Freedom before conquering"
"The fall of Slavs"(Made by an Slav group)
"The Führer and the death"

RE-RUN ALGORITHM; DIPLOMACY

The Scandinavian democracy greets the Universe of Allied Nations and congratulates it for its part in the Three Sabres Worldwide Entente. Scandinavia is also willing to send a bit older nano-machinery to the UAN for no cost at this time. Scandinavia also will gladly sell all 3SWE members nano-machinery for cheap prizes.

In the war against Germany, it is legal for us to help anytime if your forces are under attack, but we can't attack ourselves before people vote so. Which we hope to happen quickly.

END RUN 746353562

On the way to the base at Portsmouth, England, most of the GP expeditionary force makes an unexpected turn and enters the Mediterranean Sea. In a blitzkrieg attack, two air carriers launch from the GPS Hamilcar. High up in the stratosphere, the hulking planes make their way over Germany’s Balkan territory. The air carriers launch hordes of elite attack fighters which swoop down towards the enemy territory below. Before most of the German planes can even get off the ground, the GP fighters sweep across the Balkans, destorying hundreds of enemy planes sitting silently at their tarmacs. Those few German planes that do take off in time manage to down 4 GP planes before they are obliterated. By the end of the day, the GP fleet is just south of Sicily, and several sqadrons of bombers fly towards the Balkans. Carefully avoiding civilian areas, they bomb all through the night, destroying nearly every German military base in the Balkans. Only 5 GP bombers are downed by anti-aircraft fire. The next morning, the GP fleet has reached the Adriatic Sea. Covered by fire from the GP battleships, the elite GP marines make landings up and down the Balkan coast, centering their forces at Dubrovnik. By the next evening, 150,000 troops have safely landed. GP General Donner Khan had engineered the Dubrovnik landing perfectly. The Germans put up some defense, but the GP troops with their Tungsten-Armoured Hovertanks prevailed. By month’s end thay had overrun all the German territory in the Balkans, as well as Romania, Hungary, and Austria. Adapting the N1000 they had received from Scandinavia to land use, they quickly constructed a chain of defenses known as the “Balkan Perimeter” to defend
their territory. Long live the 3SWE! Conquer the genocidal Germans!

So far in the Germany campaign we have lost 8,000 troops.

To the New Roman Empire and the EE:
Will you sign a non-agression pact with the 3SWE?


To the Shui Dynasty:
Are you interested in joining the 3SWE? (Of course, if you are, the other members would first have to agree.)


After seeing videos of German atrocities in the Slavic war, patriotism sweeps the GP. Polls show that 87% of GP citizens support the war in Germany.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!

Sorry no maps.

I'll update the original map once per week.
It's causing the thread to slow up in load time.
Besides that you are capturing the territories too fast. No way can you conquer that much in three posts. We need more story to this thread.
Secondly, we should wait for ScottF to post a response to the invasion force. That would only be fair. I'll see if I can contact him.
You can leave it the way it is and keep the captured territory but no more until Scott responds. I'll update the map tomorrow.
You can still post other stories on techs and diplomacy and capturing other territories.

England goes to war! King Arthur cheered his troops onward from the observation room in the sub levels of Buckingham Palace as they marched into the yawning troops transports waiting to take them to their invasion bases in Scandanavia.

Royal Navy begins blockade of Denmark and Germany! The entire navy is there in force completely sealing off the Baltic from the rest of the world and keeping tabs on Kiel, Hamburg and the western Denmark coastline for German ships. So far 3 destroyers have taken light damage from German shore batteries, but quick return fire changed that, and the batteries and the surrounding 100 meters are no more than craters now.

In the air, Royal Air Force fighters swatted German planes down from the skies over the blockading fleet in an attempt to keep air superiority, and bombers took their toll on Hamburg and Kiel, the nearest major cities to the upcoming main thrust of our forces.

In other news, a German submarine has sunk a British trasport killing over 800 people, which are included in the Casualties section.

British Casualties:
300 Sailors
500 soldiers

Light fighting still goes on in the southern Japan, though most areas have been secured. Moderate fighting is still going on in the city of Kitakyushu.
Shui forces have captured the southern two-thirds of Shikoku island. Japanese reinforcements from Osaka have been sent to defend Tokushima, slowing down the Shui advance.
Meanwhile, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, and the areas surrounding it have been captured, though heavy resistance fighting is going on in the city of Hiroshima. Civilians with old-fashioned guns are hiding in the ruins of Hiroshima, making it dangerous to travel during the night. Shui soldiers report the city looks like it's been hit by a nuclear bomb.
Casualities are estimated to be over 25,000. With the successful Chinese invasion, public approval is rising. 74% agree, 9% don't agree, and 17% don't care.

The Nationalist Party and the Modern Saigon Party have signed into a coalition, giving them the ability to challenge the power of the United Democracy Party. Following this, the Lower House began the preliminary discussions on whether or not to join the 3SWE.

Emperor Mingzong issued a decree today, re-allowing the use of firecrackers in a city's downtown area.

A bomb exploded in the remote town of Danba, Sichuan, today, killing 27 and wounding 234 in a large shopping center and a nearby bank. Authorities blame it on the Five Pecks of Rice band, a terrorist organization which wants the establishment of Daoism as the official "religion".
A bomb exploded in a paper factory in Phnom Penh, Cambodia yesterday, killing 47 workers and wounding 349. Large fires burned in the factory for over 14 hours, causing millions of yuan in damage. Authorities blame it on the Cambodian Separatists Movement. Authorities also link the bombing to the mass killing of 52 Christians and Muslims in Saigon two months ago. The CSM denies both allegations and insteads blames it on the Cambodian Liberation Army, a Marxist organization which also advocates for Cambodian independence.

Last night, the Lower House approved a bill increasing the minimum wage from 15 yuan an hour to 20 yuan an hour. The bill passed narrowly, in part because of the Southern Chinese Conservative Party's campaign against the raising of the minimun wage. The bill will need to go the Upper House in order to be put into effect.
The Upper House rejected the bill to increase environmental standards. The bill would have made coal mining illegal and would limit the amount of trees available to be cut down. The Lower House can still pass the bill with a three-fourths majority however.

Minister of Justice Yang Feng was charged with the murder and raping of two women today. Lao Huo and Liu Shi, ages 29 and 31, were found dead five days ago in a ditch by a restaurant. Lao Huo was stabbed seven times in the chest and had her throat slit and Liu Shi was shot with a gun four times in the head and twice in the chest. Both victims' hands and feet were cut off and were later found in a nearby clothing store gutter. Yang Feng called the charges ludicrous and an attempt to force him out of office.

The recent protest against the raising of income taxes from 14% to 21% was met with violence. In Shanghai 65 people were killed and over 400 were arrested. Local schools universities have been shut down and civil disorder reigns thoughout the Shanghai area.

In Guangdong province, a heavy thunderstorm has flooded thousands of square kilometers and forced millions of people from their homes. Over 15,000 people have been killed in all since last week, when the thunderstorms began.

Great Principality News:

-Renowned GP scientist Vitruvian Bob has finally discovered the secret of “Applied
Microfusion!” His laboratory has already produced 20 Microfusion Engines, 15 of which
have been shipped to the GP Germany expeditionary force headquarters in the Balkans. The GP has sent files detailing the construction of Microfusion Engines to its 3SWE allies: Britain, Scandinavia, the RNA, and the UAN. GP Prince Hamilcar Dan requests that if any of these nations discover new ways to implement these enginess, they would send the files to GP labs. To celebrate this glorious discovery, the first of the new GP ships, a Tungsten-Armoured Elite Dreadnought, has been equipped with a Microfusion Engine and has been named the GPS Vitruvian.

-Elections were held last week for the GP parliament, which advises the Prince. The four main political parties were:

Freedom Party: This center-right party fully supports the Prince. It also supports GP
involvement in 3SWE and in the war against Germany.

Labor Party: This center-left party supports the Prince as long as the GP is politically and economically stable. It too, supports the 3SWE and the German war. However, the labor party wants the GP parliament to be granted greater political powers.

Nationalist Party: This extremely conservative party believes that the GP should drop out of the 3SWE and pursue the conquest of Germany on its own.

Communist Party: This party believes that a communist system should be instated in the
GP, and wants the nation to cease communication with all other nations and focus purely on internal affairs.

Election Results:
57% Freedom Party
25% Labor Party
9% Nationalist Party
8% Communist Party
1% Minor Parties

-Part of the same election ballot was a poll asking GP citizens if they supported the
addition of new members (namely the Shui Dynasty) to the 3SWE.
Results were:
54% Yes
33% No
13% Don’t Cares

Prince Hamilcar Dan makes an official announcement that, if the Shui Dynasty's government wishes to join the 3SWE, the GP will lend its support to the addition. However, Hamilcar Dan says that the RNA must agree in order for the Shui Dynasty to join, for those two nations share a long border.

Tokushima and the northern third of Shikoku island has fallen after 8 days of heavy fighting. Before leaving for Osaka, the remaining Japanese troops set fire to the city, burning it to the ground. However, the enemy troops were unable to reach Osaka. 30 Shui ships along with 20 plasma fighters were blocking the way to Osaka and ambushed the enemy ships, causing chaos for the enemy troop transports. Ship after ship sank in the ambush. Thousands of lives were lost. The troops that did get to Osaka told about the massive Shui invasion, spreading fear and panic throughout the city.

Conscription has soared since the invasion:

Army: 1,235,000
Navy: 367,000
Air Force: 320,000
National Guard: 170,000
Marines: 85,000
Total: 2,177,000

Troops in Japanese campaign: 400,000

300,000 troops, 125 ships, and 75 plasma fighters/bombers invaded South Korea today. Surprise, as most thought that China was too busy with Japan to worry about Korea, along with another blitzkrieg style attack, made the invasion seem like Japan all over again. The cities of Ch'onan, Nonsan, Chonju, Kwangju, and Mokp'o have been taken, though civilians surviving the attack are starting restistance movements throughout the cities and surrounding countryside. Shui troops had even reached the city of Taegu, but were pushed back by Korean troops who had retreated from the captured cities.
Electromagnetic pulse weapons were again used, destroying communications, and wreaking havoc on electronics and metals. Once stable skyscrapers collapsed, as a result of the steel framework attracting and repulsing each other.

Scientists have announced the invention of the gravship. It will be quite some time however, before the technology can be perfected for commercial and military use.

Minister of Justice Yang Feng was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder today and will receive the death penalty. The death penalty will be carried out by public stoning.
