Pakistan and the Caliphate take the opportunity of India's war with the SEU and decide to retake Kashmir. Due to India's focus in the war with the Socialists, they forgot that they left their backdoor unlocked, even though they did put up a fight, they were caught off guard, and now Kashmir is back in Pakistan hands.
India is too distracted fighting with SEU to even think about retaking it. India, while gaining round is unable to sustain its numbers due to the scorched-earth tactics of the SEU. SEU meanwhile is light and powerful.
During his exclusion from the throne, the Caliph who dwelled in a cave near Mecca studied, wrote and prayed. In his studies, his attention was much focused on the political and social ideas of the world, especially Marxism and Socialism. With his research, he wrote a Manifesto, focusing on the ideologies of Musawism. Musawism is fundamentally a liberal socialist idea of Islam, it takes the belief of state being ruled by religion, specifically Islam, but also takes into the count of a socially adaptable society, one that follows some basics of Sharia Law, and one that is of Socialist descent. The Manifesto states that the means of production shall be regulated and owned by the community of people who have direct influence with that production, meaning ownership would not only reside with one person, but with the managers and workers. It also states that the rich should not be able to have power, although everyone should have the chance to become rich, society should not be based on the act of the rich getting richer and powerful, and the poor getting poorer and ignored. Apart from this Socialist ideological society in which people somewhat share the wealth and growth together, Zakat is also taken into consideration, a religious tax or tithe apart of the Five Pillars of Islam in which a percentage of income from capable Muslims are taken and distributed to the needy, the poor, Non-Muslim sympathizers to Islam, for debt relief and others. As a part of a Sharia-based court system, punishments and law should be based on Sharia, although mildly, for example, instead of losing a hand for stealing, perpetrators would lose a finger instead, as a way for mercy and forgiveness. The Salaam act is in place, stating basic human rights to every inhabitant of the Sunayyad Caliphate, freedom to education, health, government, religion and freedom of speech, except for the case in which one blasphemy Allah, Muhammed or the Caliphate, in which they shall surely be punished. Musawism follows a more "semi-liberal" or at least lesser-conservative stance on society, social changes are generally accepted, and Western influence is slightly allowed. The Hijab is optional, although at least to some point suggested as a key of modesty, women generally have more rights in Musawism. As far as the politics go, Musawism believes that the power should be in the Caliph, a direct descendent from Muhammed or at least one of his tribes, to rule over the Islamic Caliphate. The Caliph should be educated and stand for the people, they should also follow as a religious leader, as well as a political and social one. Musawism is more lenient on the idea of an Islamic State, agreeing that it can be possible if a Caliph is no longer available, although Caliph rule is expected if the Caliphate wishes to quickly advance. Science, literature, arts, culture, medicine, education and technology, are encouraged, even if from other parts of the world, it is encouraged one enlightens themselves in knowledge. Musawism believes that to advance as a society, one must improve their countries own education, infrastructure, and well being of the people. To keep a society fruitful, one must keep their people happy, they must tolerate all ideas and societies if it means that ignoring them shall end up with a failed society. The only ways to really achieve Musawism is through morale, specifically religious and social. This is why a Caliph is so important, not only are they political leaders, but also social and religious leaders. It is their job to unite the people and to increase national happiness and nationalism, a society without borders and without animosity is a society which is ready for Musawism. Overall, Musawism is a political, social and religious ideology which follows the ideas of building a society with the well-being of the people and the equality in wealth. Socialism is a fundamental idea in Musawism, although it is milder and much more religious. Musawism is also a society in which religion rules the state and in which people are united by their beliefs and are treated in court and law by their beliefs. Musawism believes in creating a perfect human utopia by uniting the people and by improving every aspect of their lives, including the improvement of agriculture and cities, specifically the building of schools, hospitals and universities. Musawism is at its core, peace. OOC: Not to be confused with SEU type socialism, Musawism and the Caliphate considers "Socialists" more so as a term for "unlikeable people, specifically apart of the USSR and SEU," SEU socialism barely collides with Musawism Socialism.
SEU regards this as a monstrous corruption of Karl Marx's writings and is more or less completely disgusted. Karl Marx said that Religion was "Opium of the People". Karl Marx has been elevated to "Father of Socialism", and Vladimir Lenin has taken his place. The founding four has been edited, essentially. The thing is, not many people are willing to die for an ideal, which in closer inspection is also a corruption (It's not Socialism, it's really 60% Social Democracy + 20% State Capitalism+ 10% Communism + 10% Free Market Capitalism) of the ideals of the originals, so instead they elevated people, making them willing to die for the cause.SEU realizes that they have a large variety of Naval Vessels, but they don't have one thing:A commerce raider: they have vessels that can intercept and fight on equal terms with big ships, they have vessels that is an all-purpose tool, they have 2 vessels that can smash an entire task force, with a bit of help, and they have innumerable vessels that can protect convoys as well as raid them;but nowhere do they have a vessel that can beat into a pulp any Heavy Cruiser, be fast as a Heavy Cruiser, (SEU's Heavy Cruisers are well protected and reasonably fast, and has a very fast rate of fire, SEU's Destroyers straddle the line between Light Cruisers and Destroyers), and fast enough run away from actual Battleships or Aircraft Carriers? Sure, SEU's going to scrap a few of its Heavy Cruisers and Destroyers and that frees up budget. SEU's also not furiously making new ships, so that's that. Most of their Heavy Cruisers have undergone refit.SEU has the best commercial and military shipyards in the World, it should be simple enough to fit this new kind of vessel into one of the unused Battleship docks...SEU is developing 11-inch guns for use in this new ship type. It will have a fast rate of fire at 3.5-4 rounds per minute, and its actual bore will be 280mm. While its muzzle velocity will be mediocre at best (a common trait with SEU guns, their 16-inch guns and 18-inch guns share the same problem and has been treated with Supercharges), this will be more than made up for by the fact that its 3.6 ton broadside (shells are light) can be fired ridiculously quickly, and it will have quite a high possible elevation at 45 degrees. It will take 6 months to develop, after which construction of the new ships will begin. Ming-Class Battleship: 37,921 tons displacement standard load 41,311 tons displacement full load 12 280mm guns in 3 quadruple turrets, 2 forward 1 aft (due to small size of guns, quadruple turrets without extensive mechanical difficulties are practical) 34 knots full speed, 35 knots with engine strain. Nearly 9,100 nautical miles range This battleship is built for commerce raiding, a cheap alternative to deploying what are very expensive Battleships. Quite efficient with its fuel, cheap to build and reliable sea boats. SEU has long had no real method to fight their enemies between 18-inch doom and 8-inch popguns, which has been very draining for the Naval budget. SEU has decided to decommission both of its Revolution-Class Battleships (this leaves SEU with 3 interceptors, 8 well-rounded heavy ships, 3 commerce raiders, and 2 well-rounded superheavy ships) to make room for 3 of these. They are fast, faster than any Battleship in existence; built for speed. While their armament is small, that's okay! They can still resist 8-inch shells (the all-or nothing scheme allows them to resist 11-inch shells, and in the Boiler Rooms they can even resist Federation 16-inch shells, or Caliphate 15-inch shells), smash Cruisers, and run away from anything big enough to threaten them. Frankly, this thing's primary mode of defense is running away, not armor. They are no match for any real Battleships, but they can still run away very fast; even faster than Carriers. In addition, they are planned to carry special, top secret equipment to deter planes, as well as powerful AA armament. SEU has judged that they can sail with Escort Carriers, not the normal Fleet Carrier Escort of full Battleships. If they lose the escort, they are to turn tail and run. The Special Equipment: A Radar Jammer. SEU is also developing one of those, a shipborne model made to defeat any future Airborne Radar. Given, SEU doesn't even have a working land-based Radar yet, and they're the furthest along in Radar Research. SEU's Battleships: Ming: 10/10, most cost-effective design made by SEU ever. Zheng He: 7/10, does its job. Java and Revolution: 7/10, not the best design ever. Yi Sun-Shin: 6/10 to 8/10 thanks to reconstruction For reference, the Caliphate's Battleships are much better designed than SEU's. Nergal is a 9/10, Euphrates 9/10, and the 18-inched one (IDK, can't remember) is an 8/10.
Ninurta is the 18 inch one. The Caliphate finds the SEU's naval force disturbingly large, the SEU beats the Caliphate in numbers alone, but hopefully the Caliphate's tactics and training are suited well. Musawism has not yet been introduced to the government, it has though been published and is read, it is somewhat approved, conservative Muslims such as the Wahabism and the Islamists believe that Islam should be ultra-conservative and be forceful and that the Musawism version of Sharia law is heavily watered down. Others believe that Musawism is great and advocate for its improvement in society. Some are in the middle of the debate, thinking that the current ideology is fine, or it should be tuned to be a bit more traditional. Majmue is obviously furious, but no one likes them anyway. The House of Saad, completely overturned by their exclusion in the Emirates and Arabia have gone up at arms to promote Wahabism and a new revolution to regain power.
The tide has turned. India's best troops have been worn out, they are dying in droves, they have no food, they are short on fuel, they are running out of supplies, while SEU forms a powerful core. As the SEU Army, by no means the Indian Army's equal (only beating them back due to home field advantage and India's core troops being worn out, SEU's supply lines are far more concrete), beats them back and back, Mahatma Ghandi campaigns for an end to the war. He is revered, and his opinion means a lot.
The Caliphate wants something out of India, anything really, whether it be control of a few select resources or a bit of land, the Caliphate wants to see if the SEU is up to making any offers.
Sunayyad Caliphate Allies and Friends: Abyssinia Empire, very good friends/allies Pakistan, very good friends/allies Morocco, decent friends/allies Bulgaria, trading partners, somewhat allies Malaysia, religious allies Afghanistan, friends The Federation, biggest trading partners Mozambique, slight trading partners Mauritania, slight trading partners The Sunayyad Caliphate imports cars, utilities, television, electronics and radios from Europe.
The Federation has now created The Draft Act(little late i know)This makes it mandatory for every man and woman at age 18 to sign up for the wartime draft unless one of these 2 conditions apply 1.Only Living Male in the family 2.Already has a sibling in the miltary that if they died would than be only male sibling
The Caliphate has shown some social and economic improvement since the Caliphs return, there is still a divide between Sunni and Shia Muslims, but hopefully, the Musawa Manifesto would seek to solve those problems. To show their strength, the Caliphate is sailing their grandest ship in their navy, the Nergal, completely modernized and up to date along with the rest of the Navy, it will sail with an escort all around the globe, even to the sea of Australia and to the sea of Norway, it will finish its expedition within 2 years. To heavily improve the unity of the Sunayyad Caliphate, a national railway is being constructed, it will go throughout the whole country. Since there, of course, are already railways, this railway won't be one single entity, but will be a connecting piece for every other railway. It will run from Islamabad in Pakistan, all the way to Tunisia. Both Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to the railway. Not only does this improve trade, but it also improves the logistics of the Caliphates military. Due to the sheer size, construction will end in 4 years, in 1938, a shorter time because most railways have already been built.
The Federation is absolutly behind on air force power so they are making 3 new planes research will take 1 year each making 5 of each will take 1 year
New aircraft is being developed in the Caliphate, this time they are much more fast, light, reliable and great gunners. Introducing the AU-V1, a fighter aircraft, the AU1, an attack aircraft, and the X1, a bomber. All are relatively up to date in terms of technology and fighting advantages, over 200 are currently underway and under construction, they will be completed and fit into the 2000 strong airforces of the Caliphate. New shipbuilding and aviation lots are being constructed, they are planned to produce massive ships.
Tensions rise near Sudan, Egypt wishes for the Caliphate to establish a New Kushite Empire in Sudan and to take back control of the entire Nile. The Regions Parliament of Egypt has presented the idea to the Parliament, annexing Sudan would boom the Sunayyad gold industry and would present an abundance of minerals and ore to the Caliphate. The Caliph agrees to the proposal by Egypt. A military campaign is set to annex Sudan. Egyptian forces will move down the Nile, while Abyssinia forces will provide support in the south and annex the south part of the river. Arabian forces will annex the coast of Sudan which touches the Red Sea. Overall, in the end, Sudan will join the Islamic Caliphate and have a name change to the Kushite Kingdom, they will keep their identity of course and will act different from other Sunayyad states, as they will have a province border, except not as Sudan, it will be a mesh of the Blue Nile, Kush, and Nubia. Abyssinia will be given the Blue Nile province. The campaign will be finished in 3 posts.
