Britsh Report
The Britsh Armee is looking after a good strategy position in Norway, so two German Bombers were shooted down.
Moreover two German U-Boats were sunk in the Atlantic.

Smith, Wesson, and the RODINA!!!

Ok before I post, I just want to say I'm really really really sorry Pavlov... 
 DEATHBLOW!!!
This month the mighty Red Army trashed at least half of the fascist's combined Eastern Front forces in what will be known as the decisive Battles of the Dnieper! In an all-or-nothing blitzkrieg encompassing suicidal frontal assaults, heavy artillery bombardment, tank raids, bomber raids, and numerous I-16 kamikazes, Army Group Don has captured Sevastopol and Odessa, while Army Group Kursk gloats at its accomplishment of burning the great city of Kharkov to a crisp. 
Operation Kutusov: the Red Army reaches the Romanian border!
Soviet troops cheer as they straddle the old border with Romania, west of
Odessa.
Even the planners of our southern Operation Kutusov could never have expected the results we saw, but thanks to numerous German blunders on every part of the front, what was meant to be an attritive raid has been a tide-turning disaster for the Nazis.
Operation Kutusov began on February 13 when hundreds of obsolete BT-7's rumbled out of Rostov-on-Don and decimated a pathetic German line at Temryuk. Only a hanful of Fallshirmjager battalions and one light tank brigade stood between the 25+ divisions of Army Group Don and the Crimean Peninsula. After the Temryuk Line was no more, fierce artillery bombardment pounded the defenses of the Sevastopol fortress.
After our artillery ammo dumps were exhausted, division after division of BT-7 tanks and motorized infantry relentlessly attacked the German armor and Waffen SS storm troopers holed up in the city. It was only a matter of time before the ground forces there were destroyed. But the fortune was not over: the destruction of Sevastopol's garrison allowed our tanks, planes, and infantry to wipe out nineteen Luftwaffe squadrons on the ground!
After the planes and their pilots were defeated, the Red Army marched into Sevastopol on the 19th, and hooked crosses were jubilantly burned in every corner of the city. The units we had remaining at Rostov raided German troops in the southwestern Ukraine and probed the defenses of Odessa. To our shock, only planes defended the city, so it was taken two at the cost of two squadrons of German fighters.
Operation Rumientsev: Kharkov razed to ashes!
Just one of many images of Kharkov's scorched remains.
Men of the 197th Guards charge through the battered ruins of Kharkov.
Meanwhile as early as the 15th or February, while Soviet tanks were still bogged down at Temryuk, millions of men organized into shoestring forces from Kursk, Voronezh, Stalingrad, Rostov, and even Grozny were scraped together to attack Kharkov. Operation Rumientsev began with bomber raids against the city's armored garrison. After this, motorized infantry trucks from every direction sped into the city centre and unloaded their troops to attack the advanced panzers there. Soon Soviet infantry was running wild in the streets, tossing grenades into tanks and attaching sticky bombs to their treads.
Initially our forces were successful, but then they experienced the full wrath of the SS in the brutal urban combat. The elite troopers held their ground with such fanaticism that they should be classified as a physical barrier rather than troops. But the fact remains that these brave men were completely outnumbered, and they also came to feel the awe-inspiring fear that comes from the loss of air defense, as hundreds of I-16's strafed their positions again and again.
After the last of the city's ground garrison was destroyed on the 26nd, our occupying troops cheered as they found the same situation as was found at Sevastopol: hundreds and hundreds of the Luftwaffe's finest planes were lying vulnerable on the ground. Six squadrons were destroyed on the 27th and 28th, but then disaster struck.
At approximately 1:30 AM on February 29th, an I-16 air raid against Kharkov's cluttered airstrips destroyed several Ju-87's that were fatefully parked just ten feet away from one of the airbase's seven 3000-liter gasoline tanks. When the bombers' payloads and gas tanks exploded, the explosion ignited one of the tanks. One by one, the lined up tanks spewed liquid fire in every direction, lighting grass, trees, and buildings all around. Within hours a firestorm the likes of which the world has never seen engulfed every square meter of Kharkov. It is rumored that the flames at the Battle of Kharkov burned so intensely that a man 18 miles from the city limits could read the Pravda in the dead od night without straining his eyes. The city was completely reduced to ashes, along with millions of German corpses and tons of modern equipment.
Total fascist losses: EIGHTEEN Ju-87 Stuka squadrons, 7 Panzer III divisions, 7 SS divisions, 5 Fallschirmjager airborne divisions, 5 He-111 bomber flotillas, 4 Me-109 fighter squadrons, 4 Ju-88 bomber flotillas, 4 105mm sIG IB mobile artillery batteries, 3 Panzer IV divisions, 2 field artillery batteries, 2 FW-190 fighter squadrons, and 1 infantry division.
With nearly 1/4 of the Wehrmacht and 3/4 of the Luftwaffe annihilated, even Hitler should admit that this war can no longer be won. As you said Adolf, you have retaken command and have no more scapegoats to fire. Your only option is unconditional surrender. Mother Russia has lost many of her finest young men these past weeks, but we will never bog down on the defensive. As you saw in both January and February, Stalin has ordered the Red Army to be on the offensive at all times, no matter what the cost. To Berlin, men!

-Signed a Cease-Fire and gave Japan 400 Gold
-Either my AI or the American player cancelled our alliance if he could let me know which it was that would be good

Ok, as long as you agree, I mean I didn't want the alliance to end, I've got no ill will toward the Allies, China simply could not be at war with Japan and survive.

But that wouldn't be realistic either because Japan did almost nothing in China after 1941, they already had the best Chinese cities and they needed their good troops elsewhere, so they dug in and let the Chinese sit there, I think a cease-fire simulates the situation as closely as Civ can.
Besides that the Nationalists (Kuomintang, Chiang) spent more time fighting the Communists (PRC, Mao) than they did fighting the Japanese. So lots of fighting between Japan and China would be more unrealistic than a peace treaty.

Is this because I lost cities? I knew that the AI could change production but I didn't know that it would move units when you lose a city. I'm pretty sure I Ctrl-N-ed.
And it appears hangovers give me luck.
You flatterer you.
