USSR Standard Equipment (they really like standardizing everything) Standard issue Rifle: 95% Mosin-Nagant, 5% Prototype SVT-40. Currently the SVT-40 is undergoing testing to make it replace the older model. It has not been well received, and it is undergoing extensive modification for reliability and manufacturability. Standard issue sidearm: A lot of TT-30s, some Nagant m1895s. The TT-30 is not a bad Pistol at all. It is simple, reliable, and accurate. Standard Machine Guns: Light: DP-27, mass produced for use. Reliable, easy to manufacture, but not the best light machine gun. It has some flaws. Heavy: DShK. Armor Support: T-18s, there are also some newer T-26s in service. They are both effective types of armor support and is mass produced. Aircraft: There is a unified line of Aircraft types. There are not that many fighter types, 3 types of bombers, and only a few types of recon airplanes. It is of note much of these weapons use the same ammo as each other. This simplifies everything by a lot.
The CNE rebels (who support socialism)will not have a fascist-racist takeover. The CNE dispises racism and will not become a dictatorship. They don't want citizens to fear the government. Socialism will still take over.
OOC: I'm sure Britain and Germany want their Empires back. Seriously though, why would the CNE hate racism? They have no good reason to, they haven't been taught a lesson about diversity by World War 2, and most importantly all of them want their Empires back.
The Socialists are moving to prepare for war. The Fascists are taking over Europe. Even though their two most powerful members are at each others' throats.
The Federation is deciding to stay neutral in the coming war unless something major changes and we are also making 20 more battleships and 10 more destroyers to be done in 2 years
I never said it would be within the next however many years. Even if it takes 50+ years, we are still researching it nonetheless.
The Black Friday RevolutionAfter the EFJ fell, so did their countries who they ruled over with unification. One of those was Italy, Italy whom of which was happy enough to finally be removed from their combine control, looked on the horizon for the restart of the Kingdom of Italy, or possibly the return of the Roman Empire. These dreams were crushed when the Sunayyad Caliphate took over quicker than they could even establish themselves from receiving Independence. The general populace was angry, they wanted to be free, and all the Caliphate wanted was to industrialize Italy to improve their own industrialization, set up factories and mining facilities, and incorporate Italy's vast food imports into the Sunayyad Empire. It sounded like a good idea until they rebelled. In their rebellion, three groups emerged, the Vatican Resistance, a rebel fighting force made specifically by the Vatican to remove the Caliphate for religious reasons, the Fascist Party, the majority revolutionary group led by Mussolini, a previous power in Italy, they want the Caliphate gone for the spread of Fascism and for the economic, social and political well being of Italy. The Caliphate Apologetics are either in support of the Caliphate rule or not decided, usually they prefer being in power of a stronger nation instead of dying in a gutter. The first event was crucial, the event where a large riot broke out in Rome, leading to the death of 40 violent rioters and 2 Caliphate troops. What followed was martial law imposed for 3 days, during those days the Sunayyad Empire established military bases, strongholds and got rid of prime resistance members. The following days, only 1% of the population was unemployed, as everyone was sent into work. People who were on good terms were paid and well fed and spent their time in good work conditions, but resisters were more unfortunate. The Caliphate didn't want this to happen, they promised to the Italian people that they would keep their identity, and that they would keep many of their freedoms, religious and human rights, and that their economy would improve, they would be fed and have jobs. The Italians ruined this plan... Two months later the entire Italian population rebelled. Every Caliphate military checkpoints, blockades and military bases were ransacked, things were stolen, streets were trashed, and stores vandalized. In the course of events that lasted for 2 days, over 400 rioters and members of the resistance were killed, and 8 Caliphate soldiers lost their lives. The Fascist Movement attacked Caliphate soldiers and supplied themselves with firearms which were used to fire at the Caliphate soldiers, they mostly succeeded, although 40% of their fighting force was killed, they weakened the Caliphate's checkpoints. The Vatican Resistance was the worse, they didn't fight at Caliphate soldiers, they fought and killed the Muslim population. 2 Mosques were burnt to the ground, and an estimated 30 worshippers were burned alive in them. Outside of the Mosque burnings, over 80 Muslims were taken from their homes and hiding and were executed by Guillotine in the Vatican City courts. The Caliphate, obviously outraged at the disgusting behaviours of the Vatican, sacked the Vatican, stole all their wealth, gold and treasures, stole their writings and manuscripts (for the New Library of Alexandria) and promptly killed the pope, multiple priests and bishops and burned the entire Vatican city down. They also sacked the Italian treasury, taking all of Italy's wealth, museum artifacts, and eventually leaving for home. The Caliphate left Italy, not because an army of pasta's sent the home but because... Well, they kind of did get kicked out by Pastas, but the Caliphate had every capability to control Italy, but that would mean executions from left to right, harsh work conditions and martial law. The Caliphate signed a Treaty with the Italian government though, and that treaty states that the Caliphate has all access to factories and mines in Italy that are started by Sunayyad Businesses if these industries are attacked the Caliphate will declare war on Italy and enslave everyone. Sicily is also under 60% Caliphate rule. These events start a new era, a new era of Fascism, as Mussolini now holds supreme as Italy's dictator, a deadly trade for the leave of the Caliphate who only wanted peace and industry. When the Caliphate left, they purged much of Italy, seizing historical artifacts, manuscripts, books and paintings, as well as most of Italy's wealth and gold, they also killed a ton of Fascists. This has made Fascist Italy incredibly mad, and they promise to destroy the Sunayyad Empire. The Fascists begin slaughtering the Muslim population of Italy, in over one week 30% of the Muslim population already fled to seek refuge in Turkey, Syria, Tunisia, and Egypt. The Sunayyad Empire welcomes them in open arms and the Caliph personally meets refugees at the ports, promising justice. Not all of Italy is anti-muslim though, most oppose the Muslim Massacres, but only the Vatican Church and the Fascists participated in killing them, that isn't every member though, only the top elites, most people are just following them to follow.
France, much of the NP-Countries in Europe are experiencing Fascist takeover. They are afraid of the Socialists, want their Empires back, and are racist as hell. Also, SNE should really be taken over by Fasicsts at this point.
Communism has finnaly fell in the CNE! They are now the SNE for Socialist nations of Europe. The government concluded that the reason communism fell so fast was because of the lack of powerful and feared leaders. This puts the SNE in a depression and trade is lacking. The morale of the whole country and military is down. The SNE will be weak for a few years.
A weird Austrian Man with a funny mustache, name "Adolf Schicklgruber Hitler" showed up in the SNE and is advocating for a rise of Europe and a turn to Fascism for the fixing of the depression. He is loud, confident, and charismatic; he is popular and powerful, channeling the racism and hate that has been stifled artificially by the CNE authorities, calling for the "superior" races of Europe to take the World back from inferior races. He is decidedly against Islam, and even more against (IRL) Socialism, offering an attractive alternative: Fascism for the Nations of Europe, for them to unite and take back what is theirs. For obvious reasons, he is insanely popular. He is on track to be elected Chancellor. OOC: Fallout, you can't just eliminate Racism from the equation. Any suppression will be artificial, and when you do that, someone can always take advantage of the situation. It is natural that European Nations will want their Empires back.
Europe is Fascist. France has been taken over by a man named Charles De Gaulle. In chaotic times, Fascists are attractive. They are working together to get their Empires back. Netherlands, Austria, all taken over. Fascists help Fascists. Those who resist are taken. Eastern Europe stands as the sole Bulwark against Fascism's spread, and even then that's because they're part of the USSR. It spreads to Denmark, Romania. Fascism is the new Cool, and they're actually doing a pretty good job restoring economies. Scratch that, they're doing very good jobs. They are loved because they are the masterminds behind prosperity, and who wouldn't?
I updated the Black Friday Revolutions at the top... Black Friday Vatican MassacreIt had to come to this, the Muslim population in Italy saw too many prosecutions by the Vatican Resistance. Two mosques, the biggest in Italy were burnt to the ground, in them over 30 worshippers were locked in, burned alive. Outside, over 80 Muslims were dragged from their homes and executed in Vatican City for everyone to see. This caused the Caliph to get extremely angry, to where he ordered the destruction of the Vatican "The Vatican has caused way too much plague upon this world, the death of 90% of the Native American Populations in Canada and the conversion and destruction of their traditions and cultures, and the overall corruptness of the Catholic Church speaks a million words. The Catholic Church forces people to pay money for their sins to be forgiven, and they control the world with a corrupt fist. The followers aren't the problem, it's the Pope and his elite, they must be killed." - The Caliph Just like that, Vatican City was stormed by 3,000 Masif Corp soldiers. All artifacts, documents, manuscripts books and artwork was seized and safely stowed to the vault in Alexandria, for the New Library of Alexandria. All gold was taken, and all wealth and ancient coins equivalent to millions were taken and sent to Baghdad. The Masif stormed the Papal Palace and executed the Pope and his bishops and top advisors; They were all beheaded with swords. No worshippers or civilians were killed, the only ones who were killed were the Elite of the Catholic Church, the Caliph doesn't believe in killing innocent people, even if their leaders have done wrong. The Vatican was then ignited in flame and erupted with dynamite, the entire block of corrupt history was crumbled to the ground, it now remains as a lump of ash and rubble. Vatican City is destroyed, and it won't come back.
The Caliphate wants more food from The Federation, MUCH more. They also want Federation cargo and merchant ships to be equipped with advanced refrigeration and food preservation techniques. Instead of trading luxury items, the Caliphate will trade Oil for Food. Will The Federation accept?
Adolf Hitler has risen to Chancellorhood of SNE. He promises a stronger economy, taking back the Colonial Empires of old, and a stronger Europe. He is already working Miracles, despite his Fascist leanings and policies. He is nothing short of a boon for the demoralized Socialist Nations of Europe, he is the Panacea that they needed. He lifts the SNE out of depression into a powerful nation, worthy of the Royal Navy. SEU is concerned, and stockpiles weapons. Development on a Semiautomatic Rifle is accelerated. They need to be ready if a war starts, and they are building Aircraft Carriers and Battleships; a combined doctrine has proven very effective. The SEU really hates Hitler, and would like it a lot if he died.
TBF federal elections have been held! Parliament now contains... The Socialist Alliance (Socialists + Social Democrats): 48% The Nationalists (Fascists, nationalists, reactionaries): 45% The Liberal Coalition (Conservatives + Centrists): 8% The Socialist Alliance has formed a minority government. The fascists and socialists both employ the use of paramilitaries. They fight eachother in the streets. When the fascists declared the election result illegitimate, they started attacking the socialists in the streets. Things got bloody and violent very quickly. They are demanding a rerun of the election, but the Socialist Alliance refuses to do so. It looks as if a civil war is brewing. Meanwhile they have made good on the alliance offer to Italy. The Balkan Federation has set up a low tariff trading agreement with Mussolini's Italy and have begun exchanging military intelligence. Both sides are very unenthusiastic, however - the socialists, in control of the government, hate fascists more and more by the day and Mussolini himself has only agreed due to pragmatism. In fact, TBF and Italy both want control of Croatia and will clash on this eventually. Mussolini also wishes for naval supremacy over the Adriatic Sea, which TBF currently holds.
The SEU and India is backing the Socialists, however not very enthusiastically. The European Socialists and Asian Socialists are not very cooperative with each other, because their visions of Socialism are very different. They only back them because they really hate the Fascists, a lot. They hate the Fascists so much that they would want them gone.
The Socialist Eurasian Union currently has 14 Battleships and 16 large Fleet Carriers, as well as 10 light Carriers. They also have a significant number of Heavy Cruisers and 131 Destroyers. Their formidable Navy currently controls much of the Eastern World. This is a large drain on the budget, but it is actually quite effective at keeping the other Nations of the USSR in line. India's Navy is incomparable to the SEU, the biggest advantage that they posses. SEU has learned how to build ships quickly relatively cheaply, and efficiently, but India has not. Much of the Socialist Eurasian Union is using its forces to pressure the Fascists. The Socialists currently have 2 factions, the Eastern faction and the Western faction. The substantially more powerful Eastern faction loathes Fascism. However, this has proven extremely counterproductive. They have sanctioned Fascist Nations and refuses to export their stuff to them, which is highly problematic when they are fueled by hate against the Socialists, which gives them more ammunition to use against them, saying that they are afraid of the might of Fascism and don't want to fight like brave men. The Socialists could fight, but as of now they are currently undergoing extreme amounts of infighting against each other and is in no condition to fight (despite their massive and well-equipped militaries (India's large Army and SEU's very large Air Force and Navy to rival and exceed the Royal Navy), they would likely fall to Civil War before they could even fight the enemy they are supposed to be fighting). If the Socialists actually united (an unlikely prospect unless it seemed Socialism itself was in danger), they could prove unstoppable.
The SNE likes how Hitler took them out of depression but hates his idiology. Fascism and racism (like stated before) are something the SNE hates. The SNE warns him to stick to socialism and not become a fascist. They send troops to enforce this. OOC: He is chancellor of Germany right? And am I allowed to change history and prevent Hilter's takeover of Germany?
