Are you unaware TBF had a Muslim Genocide at one point? In any case. SEU deploys 2 of their commerce raider Battleships, as well as 2 Heavy Cruisers and 2 Light Carriers to escort. But they seem unusually bold, unafraid. Something's up. They soon find out what's up when Caliphate Cruisers report that there are no such Battleships. They soon receive reports from another convoy; they have been engaged by 2 Hostile Naval units, who completely blindsided them with 406mm shells, 203mm shells, and multiple torpedoes and are thus winning. The trouble is, they were escorted by a Euphrates-Class Battleship,1 Heavy Cruiser, 3 light cruisers and 3 Destroyers. The only way that such a Battleship and force could be losing against several inferior units isn't if the Battleship wasn't just blindsided, it was outranged completely and could not detect the enemy. The convoy made it out after 3 hours of brutal engagement, but many merchant ships were sunk. There wasn't much left to escort to the Caliphate proper. The second commerce Raider group is still at large, trying to find a convoy to sink. Indeed, this is what happened. The superior SEU Radar allowed them to outrange the enemy, but that wasn't just it. Something happened to the Caliphate Radars that made them unable to function properly, there is no other way to explain this. The Caliphate Spies confirm the terrible truth; SEU has developed a form of Radar Jammer, or a device that confuses Radar; there's no other reasonable explanation. In order to even temporarily assuage the Radar Jammers, the Caliphate will need to develop the improved Cavity Magnetron.
TBF has a socialist federal government, with different parties running the states (Serbia, Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia). Fascists used to control Serbia and were gaining speed everywhere else. The federal government was so threatened it deported Mussolini back into Italy and agreed to a semi-alliance thing to appease the fascists. Once they were big enough, the population was polarised between socialism and fascism, until a Battle of Cable Street style event happened, and the fascist parties were banned and TBF cut ties with Mussolini's Italy. I guess ever since they've been dealing with the aftermath.
just make a battle scenario where the Caliphate completely crushes the SEU, i'm tired of this made up "earthquakes and tsunamis and failed radars"
Yeah well someone's going to attack you to try and invade each other. You're at the center of all of this. You need to pick a side. Socialist or Fascist, the Caliphate is not an option thanks to the Genocide of Muslims.
The Fascists defeated the SEU in Sweden, like really defeated them. The Fascists have evened the odds, and now they're an actual threat to the SEU, probably the greatest threat. Also, the T-34 is about to turn into the most obsolete tank in the World. Yeah, the next year or so is going to be very good for the Fascists. HERE COMES THE PANTHER!
Musawaism is an Islamic version of socialism which has little tie to Marxism. The Caliphate did destroy a centre for Catholicism in Italy and they did rob the entire church, all the Socialists have been doing is been trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. The Fascists hate the Caliphate more, the Caliphate hates the Fascists more, the Socialist have little reason to hate the Caliphate other than Imperialism, while the Muslims and Fascists are fighting over much serious ideals... I don't want to spend 5 pages fighting in some sea and getting dragged, it's boring and not fun, let's make a temporary fighting pact, but only to defeat Fascism.
SEU turns their attention to the pesky Indonesians. They decide "UBR and the Western Soviet Union can deal with the Fascists and Caliphate on their own". (No they can't) India, rested and refreshed decides to attack the SEU one more time for the sake of revenge, motivated by a philosohpy not unlike Fascism. Gandhi is forced out, and thus the SEU now fights in a 3-way war. Indonesia, India and SEU in a three-way struggle for the future of Socialism. Welcome to the Eastern Theatre. This is really SEU and India's fight, and they will have 1 more major war. But for now, they attack.
The Caliph offers a pact to the SEU: Even though both nations are enemies, it's like Russia and USA, unlikely allies, only making an alliance for they have the same enemy No more fighting in the Atlantic, no more attacking Caliphate trade convoys and Island defences. The Caliphate will do the same Alliance only temporary for the act of defeating the Fascists, It's more of an offensive alliance than a defensive one.
Oh, Otus, by the way? You have it easy. You're winning. SEU is nowhere near choking out the Caliphate. SEU has to intercept these convoys before they can get to the Maurituanian Shore. This is no easy task. You get a whole 3 Island bases to refuel your ships. In adddition, the Caliphate has the Stategic Advantage. SEU is only halfway to making it a draw again. Most of the Battles so far have been Operational Victories. It means that in the time scale of a month or so, the Caliphate is winning. You're going to get commerce raided. You're going to get SEU attacks on your convoys. Some of those convoys are going to sink. Live with it. It's not doing much anyway, the Caliphate hasn't had to ration anything. If you need war Materiel that bad, start rationing Metal and other things. SEU has even worse efficiency than the Germans, and that's saying something. The Germans in WW2 at least made do a lot with a little. SEU has struggled to make do a little with a lot. When SEU inevitably starts using Submarines? They're going to gain the Strategic advantage. You can start saying something about how OP I am then.
The Balkan Federation enacted a zero tolerance policy against fascists. It has purged the Fascist Party from all aspects of the state and federal governments. Citizens with ties to fascist organisations, parties, and paramilitaries are arrested and placed into work camps - a spin on the British concentration camp used on the African Boer population during the Boer War, which starved many to death, but with the added feature of being worked to death on top. People with familial ties to fascists are closely monitored by the Domestic Intelligence Agency and arrested if their activity is proven to be suspicious. Newspapers with fascist sympathies are also cracked down on and banned from circulation. It goes unnoticed, but a lot of the fascists arrested are Kosovar Albanians, despite fascist influence there being... minimal at worst. The military is also posted along the Adriatic Sea, with a particularly high concentration in Greece, and against the Bosnia-Croatia border, ready to repel any Italian invasion. Balkan ships are ready to blockade Italian ports if necessary. Leaked documents reveal that the federal government is fully aware of the Italian invasion plans.
(Social Democrats/State Capitalists) SEU bluntly refuses to work with the (actual Socialists) Balkan Federation, calling their Socialism little more than a pipe dream that cannot be achieved within a realistic timeframe. In any case, SEU is choking out India. Attacks on Caliphate convoys are reduced, because SEU is trying to bomb Indian Airfields to nothing. It happens to work very well, SEU is winning and actually achieving decisive superiority over India.
In what may be the World's shortest war between equal heavyweights, SEU has extracted a peace treaty out of India, completely curbstomping them. India will take a few months to recover, and Eastern Field Marshal Wang and General Im has requested the sending of gifts to front-line soldiers to bolster their mood. So why did SEU crush the Indians? SEU's rations are the best in the World, Soldiers are well fed nutritious meals. India however had malnourished Soldiers, resulting in low morale. This was compounded by the fact SEU choked out India's supply lines by Sea. Superior Armor. Finally, SEU had decisive Air Superiority with Strategic Heavy Bombers and the Il-2, and Tupolev Bombers. Therefore, SEU defeated the Indians easily and effortlessly. However, Indonesia has invaded Australia, and SEU intervenes.
The SNE is now developing napalm bombs (checked for historical accuracy). An incindeary mixture of gelling agents and fuel. This is extremely flammable and the SNE is now putting it into bombs. These will be thrown or dropped by planes over a large area. This will either kill the target with burns of asphyxiation. This bomb doesn't spare inncocents. The SNE, in war, is ok with that. Also , after the previous victory in Sweden, troops are regathered to celebrate! The army is also now equipped with suppressed weaponry. The Fear of invasion is not high in the SNE but borders are still being guarded
SEU is developing a new Shotgun for use against Caliphate Flamethrowers. Their Shotguns will be able to defeat fanatical soldiers, as the older models were very useful against Caliphate and Japanese troopers, as well as a new type of Submachine gun called the PPSh-41, which will be widely distributed to "Reality Checkers", or close-range shocktroopers. SEU is on the attack in Australia. As SEU troopers fight the Indonesians, it quickly becomes apparent that the T-34 is superior to anything the Indonesia can muster. SEU simply vastly outclass the older T-26s and T-18s. Indonesia's attempts to create their own T-34s work fine, but SEU has a vastly superior quality of everything. Native Australians and SEU troops fight against the Indonesians, who have no experience fighting in Australia, while SEU troops have trained there. SEU continues to bomb Japan, but it seems that they are figuring out how to resist. SEU decides that if they want to defeat Japan they will have to attack it now.
SEU is planning another sea invasion of Japan. SEU and Japan are both much tougher, but this time SEU decides to attack from the North; they don't try the same trick twice. However, they will deceive Japan into thinking so by creating what is probably the World's most elaborate deception campaign. OPERATION SMOKE: SEU is creating a fake army to invade Southern Japan, it will be extremely elaborate.
[RESERVED FOR] BATTLE OF THE GUINEA COAST Outcome: While the SEU is distracted in Indonesia the Caliphate musters a massive fleet to attack the Guinea port. In the end, the SEU won due to the placement of the port and the amount of defense, but they have been weakened greatly and their commerce raiding progress has decreased.
SEU is very concerned that the Caliphate was even able to attack it. In any case, SEU is falling back to their South African base, and while it can repair 2 or 3 Battleships at once, it has no docks big enough to accommodate Yi Sun-Shin. Yi Sun-Shin has been relocated to the Busan dock for repairs. Myeongyang is going in her place to Guinea as a sentry, most certainly a good idea to place a high value target there whose crew have little experience (opportunity to damage, not sink her. Sinking her would amount to damaging her, because of shallow waters)! SEU is replacing many of the 11-inch batteries with 18-inch and 16-inch batteries, because the 11-inch shells are clearly inadequate at coastal defense.
The war has not yet started in earnest. You think it's bad now? This is nothing. SEU is beginning the Strategic Bombing Initiative. Because the SEU has developed a long-range strategic bomber, SEU is now capable of a brand new thing: attacking factories and other infrastructure with bombers. No one else has a long-range strategic bomber, which is very good because SEU is about to start cranking them out like sausages. Behold, the Tu-3 Invincible (made up, because the soviets didn't have even a halfway decent long-range bomber0, having many state-of the art technologies gained from years of bombarding Japanese and Indian everythings, as well as a long development program. With a 13-man (can be reduced to 12 in a pinch) crew and maximum of 550km/h speed, as well as an operational ceiling of about 9,500 (actually roughly 9,400m), and a range of a whopping 10,100 kilometers, it is truly powerful. But that's not all. While filled with state-of the art, it is still reasonably simple in most places. It has undergone drastic simplification in order to make it mass producible, shaving off a lot of the more overengineered parts as well as unreliable state-of the art technologies. With 8 guns and a massive payload, 5,500kgs at Medium range, 2,400kgs at high range, and 9,300 kgs at low range. However, there is a fly in the ointment. Despite its seeming perfection, economy, strength, reliability, it has several problems. For one, operating this thing is highly exhausting, and exhaustion is very bad for people who are controlling a massive flying behemoth. To remedy this to a certain extent, SEU has placed an extra man aboard, but even they tend to get exhausted because crew members simply use shifts with the extra guy instead of leaving the extra man to rest up and replace anyone too tired. In addition, despite its fuel efficiency, its engine is noisy as hell and allows for little concentration. However, this is also remedied to an extent by the pressurized cabin, which is a whole new luxury and allows crew members to focus better. One last thing is that its durability is at best mediocre. However, it is still a good bomber. This is a whole new kind of Warfare. SEU will bomb Caliphate and Fascist targets with this new bomber. They won't know what hit em. In any case, SEU is also creating the Yakovlev-8 (sorry I keep making things up, but the Soviets sucked at long-range aerial anything) fighter, a long-range for-Carrier fighter built to escort the Tu-3. While SEU had small numbers of for-carrier fighters before, now SEU is making one with a range of nearly 2,500km to defeat Caliphate fighters. Another is the Su-5, a land based fighter to escort the Tu-3 with a range exceeding 2,600kms, assuming it has external fuel tanks, it will escort the Tu-3 and make sure it bombs its enemy.
The Caliphate is alerting their land radar to detect SEU aircraft. All AA guns have been on alert and will definitely defend to the death.
These defenses prove to be effectively useless; the Caliphate guns simply do not have enough range to hit the bombers, and SEU is taking full advantage of the period where the Caliphate and Fascists' are developing a high-ceiling fighter to attack SEU Strategic Bombers.
