Could chile have his very own supersecret Nuclear Weapons Program??? please

I'm not sure about setting up any nuclear weapons. I don't have any nuclear teams and I'm not sure if I want to set up any. Chile will have a rocketry program soon though. And I would have figured being a world naval power would be plenty more prestigious than being a nuclear power.

Maybe not Formosa, but I do plan on taking a few of the smaller islands north of Australia.

YAY!!! Hopefully it stays that way

Zanza said:

Interesting. Never read Chile AAR before. There are too few South America AARs anyway.

There really are too few. South American history has been neglected as a whole. I've put a lot of work into researching the relationships between countries.

You have no idea

Part V: The Pacific​

5.6 Taking Java​

After re-securing the island of Sulawesi, Chilean transport ships and their escorts began work round the clock to collect all of the Marine divisions currently in Borneo. And moving them to the Australian Port of Darwin for resupplies and rest. A massive offensive would soon be underway.

Once the new Chilean Carriers reached the main fleet in Darwin, Grand Admiral Carreno assumed control of the new Main Fleet and prepped the ships for three months of continuous shore bombardment. The Beaches of Malang would be completely clear before any Chilean Marines actually land.

After all of the troops were finished resupplying and reorganizing, they once again returned to their naval transports and began the journey to the island of Java. Admiral Reyes del Rio was once again picked for this crucial mission and he accepted gladly.

In the middle of March 1944, Chilean Marine Divisions landed on the Beaches of Malang, a single Japanese Garrison was based there and fought hard despite the harrowing bombardment of the Chilean Navy and Carriers. Ultimately, the Japanese surrendered with little further resistance. Chilean losses were well below 100 due to their experiences on Borneo and Sulawesi. It was a grand victory for allied forces in the pacific.

Not long after the landing, Japanese transports tried to land reenforcements onto the island but were forced away from the island by the Chilean Main Fleet.

The next target on the island was the navalbase at Soerabaja, Chilean Naval command insisted that it was paramount to deny the Japanese that large port.

Much to the surprise of Admiral Carreno, the Japanese had succeeded in building three new Carriers, and what was even more troubling, was that they were far more advanced than Chile's Pacifico Class carriers. Fortunately for Chile, the gap between Chilean and Japanese naval training and doctrine had been closed. And Chilean officers and seamen were more than experienced enough to take on the new Japanese threat. The battle ended swiftly and decisively. Japan withdrew from the Java coast and Chile maintained complete control of the waters around the island.

Part V: The Pacific​

5.6 Taking Java​

With the naval bombardment missions complete, Admiral Carreno set his fleet out on a Naval Interdiction patrol around the island of Java. The Japanese would be hard pressed to continue the fight for this island.

After securing the eastern coast of the island, Chilean Marine and Infantry divisions began their mad dash to the west coast.

The Japanese Garrison at Batavia would be hard pressed to hold these eager troops back.

The route to Batavia had been completely clear for the length of the island. The so-called fortress would fall in less than two weeks. The only obstacle being the Island's length.

The Japanese garrison at Batavia knew full well what was at stake and fought fiercely to hold the last Japanese outpost in the Indonesian islands. However, they could do little to stop over 50,000 Chilean soldiers and Marines.

With the Indonesian Islands under Chilean and Allied control, Japan could only guess where Chile's small but Elite Army would go to next.

Shouldn't those Indonesian provinces be switching back to Dutch control rather than your own?

They probably should, but i'm not complaining

Hmmm...
My IC starting was 56/58 (Remember, i'm running off of a mod that was supposed to take place in 2121, Brazil and Argentina also have ICs around 97/101 and 85/90)

Once i took over Bolivia and took nationalized their territory, my IC was boosted to 84/87

And then finally, when i took Peru, i got about 8 more IC, (Peru has a total of 10, but due to my adjusted occupied IC rates, they give me a full 8 IC instead of the 2 i would normally get.)

I may also nationalize Peru as well. Also, i started building my navy back in 1941ish, and now its 1944. Trust me, all i've been building has been Naval ships. I did complete 4 Motorized divisions, but they are still in Chile proper.

I also have several destroyers and 6 new battleships in the works, but they won't be done for a long time.

Part V: The Pacific​

5.7 Over Extended​

President Cerda sat in his office reading over the various reports coming in from the Pacific. Victory in Java had been achieved and the Dutch Government had officially turned control of the Islands of Borneo, Sulawesi and Java to Chile. Both as an act of gratitude, and also to remove a lot of responsibility off of their own shoulders.

The Chilean Newsreals and Radio News Programs had been covering the war since it was declared. And while the Victories in the Indonesian Islands were highly celebrated and the public was highly pleased and confident in Chile's performance during the war, Cerda was beginning to feel a certain strain.

Many in the Senate did not feel it, nor did many of Chile's military commanders. However, those at the top and knew that Chile was now in trouble. While Chile had been highly successful and effective in curbing the Japanese Naval supremacy, the discovery of three new Carriers that were in Admiral Carreno's words, "notably superior to our own," had disturbed him. But what bothered Cerda more, and this was the main problem; was Chile's Manpower shortages.


Field Marshall Rabe estimated that Chile had only enough people for maybe four more divisions. Assuming that the Navy doesn't get them first. And considering that the Navy was Chile's primary weapon against the might of Japan, there would be even less people to be recruited into the Army.

It was simple math really, could a small country of only 15 Million really be able to fight off the full force of Japan and her puppets? Chile had taken a large swath of land from the Japanese, so much so in fact, that the Japanese have been perpetually trying to retake it.

And now, with a majority of the East Indies under Chilean control, would Chile have enough troops to both protect what had been taken, and still be able to continue to maintain a strong offensive posture?

Field Marshal Rabe's answer was an unfortunate no. And President Cerda understood and believed him. The United States and Great Britain would have to start pulling more weight. But that seemed even less likely than having fresh soldiers sprout from the ground.

Just recently Japan had launched a strike upon British Controlled Borneo, retaking the province of Kuchin, it was pure luck that four Chilean Divisions were actually on their way to Singapore at the time. They had to be re-routed to Borneo just to halt the Japanese advance.


The Offensive in Malaya had been slow going to put it best, the British insisted that any territory taken by Chile would be done so under the British banner, as a result, the British were also managing the shipment of supplies and reinforcements to the peninsula. This has lead to a dead end for the Chilean Marines in the peninsula, as the Japanese in Singapore, understanding the danger they were in, had launched a counter-offensive UP the peninsula. And the body of water separating Singapore from the rest of Malaya had all but halted the Chilean Advance.


Britian's Plan to use Chile as the squeezing portion of a vice was on the verge of failure, and the British were still unable to properly supply the Chilean forces. At least there weren't any enemy divisions to the north of the Chilean positions.

Next Up: A New Direction

Yes, I know its been a long time since this AAR has been updated, commented on, or even looked at. But I said it was only on hold. And now I dub it; BACK FROM THE DEAD! I still have the save file and I will continue the game to the end. This AAR will be updated less frequently than Modern (Ancient) Egypt, because that one is still my primary. This one will be updated whenever I am suffering writers block with the other. Those who still remember this one, welcome back! And to those who've never seen it before, you'd be amazed with what Chile can do with 90+ IC.

Part V: The Pacific​

5.8 A New Direction​

The Malaysian Mission was officially scrapped. The British tried on several occasions to get supplies to the Chilean Troops but were stopped cold by Japanese Subs. It was a hard decision to make, but Chilean High Command ultimately broke the news to Britian, "We're leaving Malaysia to you. Good Luck."

However, all was not lost. Chilean Leaders were looking for a new approach to defeat the Japanese, and losing manpower and time fighting alongside the British with a small (but elite) military was not how to do it.

For some time, the Americans were explaining to the Chileans the Importance of returning to the Caroline Islands. Many believed that an attack on Truk and the other islands there would completely demoralize and ruin Japanese Resolve. With little else to consider, President Cerda, Admiral Carreno and General Rabe took up the American offer and began preparations for an attack on Truk.

New Carrier Designs and two recently completed Battleships would serve at the forefront of this new strategy.

The latest in mobile Chilean Airfields would surely boost tip the scales further in Allied Domination of the seas.


And finally, the difficult decision came down to deploy nearly all remaining homeland troops to the front. Despite increasing hostile attitudes from Argentina, many knew that the lack of manpower would soon make things increasingly more difficult. Some in Chile hoped that their nay (now the world's second largest) would be enough of a deterrent to keep the Argentines from getting edgy. And finally, General Rabe with his full Motorized Corps was sent to Australia for reorganization and preparation for combat against the Japanese.

The first mission however would not take place in the Carolines but instead in Guadalcanal, where the Japanese had recently taken the island back from the British (it had changed hands twice already) and would soon be evicted yet again.


For Chilean warplanners, this would be the largest campaign since the Dutch East Indies. And the Japanese would soon feel the squeeze. The Chilean Naval Superiority would only get stronger, and Japan is running out of ships.
