The French Republic


Political- The presidential elections to confirm Blaise's presidency are held across France. Originally, no challenger arises. However, right before filing deadline, Dr. Eduard Gelegare, a surgeon from Lyon, enters the race. Gelegare is painted as a very weak and inexperienced leader and his campaign was barely able to scrape together thirty thousand francs. Victory for Blaise seems imminent in the election. Despite this, a debate is scheduled. At the debate in Paris, Blaise deftly made mockery of Gelegare's political inexperience and ridiculously unpopular open-door policy on Middle Eastern refugees. This only further solidifies Blaise's lead in the polls.


Meanwhile, French agents convene with some of the most influential political leaders in French Basque with a proposition. If they can incite the Basques of Spain to rebel, France will not only allow French Basque Country to separate and become part of the Basque State, but they will arm and equip rebel forces, should the need arise.

Military- Taking heavy losses on the road to Homs, French forces are told to press on, but the march is slow and cautious. French officers are worried the troops won't have the will to fight once they reach Homs. To remedy the situation, 6,000 more troops are slated to be airdropped into combat to relieve the French divisions on the ground and thirty of the late model LeClerc main battle tanks are also slated to be deployed to assist in routing Caliphate light armor and technicals.


Foreign- Germany: French delegates go to Berlin to propose the formation of the Paris-Berlin Axis, a military alliance that would include intensive cooperative training, economic cooperation, a non-aggression pact, and a mutual defensive pact. French delegates are also eager to make this agreement extend to member states of the Germanic Union.


Eastern Europe: French delegates convene a summit in Warsaw for the leaders of the Baltic States, Poland, and the Balkans. The so-called Warsaw Accords would outline a framework for extensive military cooperation, and perhaps a liberation of the Ukraine from Russian forces.


Ireland: French officials fear the growing monster of the New British Empire and offer a defensive pact to the Republic of Ireland to deter British invasion. French military hardware in the form of arms and ammunition, air-defense systems, and intelligence regarding the positions of key British bases are smuggled to members of the IRA and the Irish government via AirFrance jets.


Haiti: France pledges humanitarian aid and five-hundred million francs for infrastructure to the people of Haiti, in exchange for a pledge of sovereignty from the small nation and allowance to build a naval base in Port-au-Prince.

Political

Recently the great Caliphate has announced that elections shall be held this year for the federal and provincial governments with local and other minor governmental elections taking place next year.

All forms of punishment have been for the most part reverted to those stated in the Koran. Those sentenced may though be forgiven for their sins if they agree to work for 5 to 20 years (depending on the crime, lower crimes don't require such as you don't get killed or maimed) as a public servant (Essentially a government slave).

After a close vote Iran will be in attendance at the summit in Switzerland (@Icomstock4)

The great Caliphate has declined Russia's offer stating that "A victory for Islam must be fought by Muslims, not by back stabbing Infidels!" in a public speech but secretly informing the Russian vice president that any such deal would undermine his credibility as the true Caliphate

A recent series of attacks on the Iranian Caliphate by the Fake Caliphate (ISIS) has left the natin shocked as several key figures are killed or seriously injured. Fortunatly Qasem Soleimani has remained unarmed and gave a speech this morning to the entire nation. Important points of his speech include:

"This attack on the True Caliphate of the Islamic world is a despicable act of the Infidel backed False Prophet. The Infidels dare attack leaders appointed by Allah himself! The false prophet has shown his true colors- red, white and blue!"

Propaganda


The great and mighty Caliphate continues to spread pro Iranian Caliphate, anti ISIS and Iranian unity propaganda.


The Iranian Caliphate uses alleged American backing of ISIS and hate of the USA to make ISIS and the USA seem as enemies. The propaganda plays on hatred of the west to claim ISIS is a fake caliphate backed by the evil Americans whose purpose is to destroy Islam. Propaganda cites how the US is able to combat any nation yet some how cannot defeat ISIS. Propaganda posters showing ISIS members killing members of many cultural groups within Iran are used to stir anti ISIS sentiment among the portrayed groups. Propaganda is also spread over radio, mainly in the form of statements from the Caliphate, notable political leaders and notable religious leaders within the country.


The Iranian Caliphate uses propaganda to promote unity amongst all Muslims to defeat the Americans and their fake caliphate. Propaganda posters showing Muslims of different ethnic backgrounds, and sometimes other sects of Islam are shown stoning ISIS members together. Radio is also used to release pro-unity statements and speeches.

The Horns of War Sound Throughout the British Isles!


The United Kingdom's Response.

A Message to the Public:


"Great people, of Great Britain, have you fear? Or despair? I ask? In the name of our great nation, we stand against a mighty foe; who has subdued the world for far too long! We delivered justice to the terrorists who invaded, and we will deliver justice to these oppressors! They dare declare a war of AGGRESSION?! On us? For what? Bringing justice to the murderers of innocents? The very government, that calls us aggressors is nefarious for it's God-Complex, it's inhumane rule over Muslims, and people of different skin color! the United States of America's leaders have gone too far! They think themselves invincible... People, of Great Britain. Let us prove them wrong! They will occupy a nation of corpses before they rule over a single one of us! They will not win, they cannot win! No matter what, with your support. We will endure, no nation has more history than us; and in the coming years, I will proudly add a new chapter; the day Great Britain defeated the strongest nation in the world! Fear not, my fellow people. Today, we fight. We fight for our freedom; against a nation who uses the word as a tag-line. We fight, to secure justice in our United Kingdom! The Americans will regret the day, they set foot on British soil. Their FATHERlands, soil!


My friends... We do not stand alone, for the Fatherland stands with the Motherland! Russia, is with us! Their might, near unparalleled! But that is not all... India, one of our stanchest allies, and whilst far away; we have their support! As well as a United Commonwealth of Nations! Canada, who threaten the U.S homeland stand with us! As well as 25 other nations! *Arron Paulson lists the rest of the Commonwealth* People, of Great Britain. We're strong united. And united we stand. Have no fear, have hope! FOR OUR KINGDOM WE FIGHT!"

Mass-Recruitment:


Anybody over the age of 16, is allowed to join the British National Defense service, which limits them to warfare only on British Soil. The number of people willing to fight for their nation, in reality. The number is expected to be enormous. Parade's and military marches are put on everywhere to raise patriotism, and boost recruitment.

The National Defense Act:


The monetary system working within the UK s completely revamped, wages are lowered, bills are lowered, prices are lowered, drastically. With the threat of invasion; and a dictatorship, there is little opposition. All money saved, goes towards military defense.





Defenses Placed:


With no safe way, for the American Soldiers to land: The full might of the British armored unit, be it tanks, artillery or anti-infantry are placed at key landing points all round the British Isles. The vehicles are kept far enough back to avoid Naval fire; but should soldiers land directly; the results are predicted to be far more catastrophic than the D-Day landings no matter where; due to the advanced weaponry of Great Britain, and the sheer number of Armor they possess.





The RAF is also drilled relentlessly, with the many fighter jets able to be launched towards U.S Air threats at a moments notice. Approaching the isles undetected is literally not possible due to the advanced radar technology. Additionally, the British Naval Submarines detach from the Navy, and begin 'Operation Goliath'. The rest of the Navy is stationed around the London area. The HMS Bulwark is deployed; Scientists claim it should be fully-functional, and is predicted to out-strength the standard U.S Destroyer by nearly double the armor, and fire power. The S.A.S are officially told to await further instruction; should France and Germany join the war, they are to begin acts of sabotage, and assassination.

Allies


Arron Paulson calls upon his staunch friends, India and Russia for support in the war; He requests economical support from India, since he understand the army is in no place to reach him. And military aid from Russia, citing that now is the perfect time for Russia to defeat their rival; by sailing East and assaulting an undefended America whilst they sail West, he asks the same from Canada; Assuring them that Russia will help. As well as this, Arron Paulson also begs Australia to aid in the Russian-Canadian assault on Eastern America. Citing that Great Britain will forever be indebted to them.

<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_12/upload_2015-12-21_3-42-6.jpeg.d87b738a8fdd3fa898721cf6b7220387.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="93659" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_12/upload_2015-12-21_3-42-6.jpeg.d87b738a8fdd3fa898721cf6b7220387.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Germany


Arron Paulson writes to Germany citing he bares no ill-will towards them; pleading they stay neutral, saying they both know his occupation of Ireland was no different from the American war on ISIS, both were done to prevent terror acts. He also reminds that the U.S.A declared the war, and Germany has no obligation to act, he attempts to remind Germany that they signed a Non-Aggression pact; here, the U.S.A is the aggressor against Britain, should Germany join it would truly be oathbreaking. (This would actually be true, and should cause a lot of turmoil in Germany, I think?)





TO WAR!

The Federal Republic of Germany





“People of America, People of Great Britain, People of Russia, People of France shall we repeat the mistakes of the past have we not spilled enough blood on this ground…. have not enough of our young men died pointlessly for pride. If we continue down this path there is naught but ruin and destruction. What will you think of yourselves when the blood stains the ground and your boys die and you know you of could stopped it. Let us all step back for a minute and speak like men not fight like savages. I propose that before any other rash action is taken we convene at the conference in Switzerland to work out our problems." - Friedhelm von Jager Chancellor of The Federal Republic of Germany

The United Kingdom's of Great Britain


In response to the recent plea sent forth by German Chancellor Friedhelm von Jager, Arron Paulson releases a public statement noting he is of the same mind; and is more than happy for negotiations, and a war is the last thing he wants. But the U.S.A declared the war and he is merely preparing to defend his homeland.

The French Republic


President Emilie Blaise, on the War, "With all due respect to Chancellor Jäger, the United Kingdom understood that the invasion of Ireland would mean swift action must be taken. Monsieur Paulson is leading his nation on a long and ardous road to perdition, a road littered with the corpses of young men and women from all walks of life: rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, black and white. The people of France love peace, but do not mistake our love of peace for weakness. Therefore, France makes this request of the United Kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales, and North Ireland: withdraw all troops from Irish soil, set free all prisoners of war, and pay reparations to the Irish government...or suffer the consequences."

The Republic Of India

Indian PM's Speech to Parliament


A year of world-historical events is coming to an end. A year of great decisions is approaching. In this grave period I speak to you, members of parliament, as the representatives of India and her people.


I regret to inform you my friends that war is upon us , I have been in constant communication with the British Prime Minister on the current situation owing to which it is clear to me that this war will have to be fought through to the end, contrary to all logic and necessity.


You, my old Party comrades, know that I have always believed in the ideals of "ahimsa" and non violence but If Providence has deemed that the Indian people are not to be spared this struggle, then I am thankful that she has entrusted me with the leadership of this great country in its time of need.


Know this , although India on her part has strictly adhered to the rules of international law in her relations with the United States of America during every period till the present day, the government of the United States of America from initial violations of neutrality has finally proceeded to open acts of war against the United Kingdom. It has thereby virtually created a state of war.


The government of India consequently breaks off diplomatic relations with the United States of America until a peaceful end to the conflict is brought about .


Understand , that under these circumstances brought about by the American President , If any US militants are to enter British soil . India too will consider herself as being in a state of war with the United States of America.


(we're not at war with the U.S until a major engagement takes place)


Thank you ; Jai Hind


President Address's the armed forces , in a military parade similar to the Brits:


To all our armed forces , I say to you this:


(P.S he would have said this in Hindi)


There will be challenge , you will know fear!


But you will overcome! You will survive!


And answer vengeance with blood!


You will do as you must!


Rule cannot be handed to the faithless!


Our legacy cannot be lost to villains!


For your family, for your people, for this our home!


We must face all doubt!


We must break the strong who would destroy us!


We must overcome the impossible!


We must fight, against any, and all!


Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
