CBC World News
"The world today. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation now presents a summary of the all the important world news today. Reports from CBC correspondents by trans-America short wave radio, and the latest developments as received by the Canada's news room here in Ottawa. Tonight we will be reporting on the latest military events from the United States and abroad via our correspondents in Chicago and Ottawa."
"Good evening Canada, this is your host Tommy Forever speaking. This evening we bring you reports from Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and the southern US states."
"Asia has seen a massive upheaval in the balance of power. The Soviet Red Army has secured the Chinese capital of Nanjing after a desperate and heroic fight by Chinese forces. This just comes as another crushing blow to an already weakened army. Just further west, Soviet forces are rapidly advancing to China's southern coast, while Soviet tanks roll through Malaysia and eastwards towards occupied Vietnam. The Japanese landing by Korea has been crushed, leading to the capture of 230,000 Japanese soldiers."
"Australia has been reeling from defeats after the latest French-British efforts encircled two motorized divisions resulting in their capture. over 25,000 men were captured in the pocket, a staggering loss to a army already low on reinforcements. The United States has promised increased economic aid to the beleaguered state, despite heavy protests by Britain and France. The United States, already under economic embargo and facing rebel states backed by Axis support, has little to lose in this situation."
"Texas nears complete collapse as Confederate, Californian and US attacks drive the Texan armies to the brink. Several thousand are already giving up the fight, and we have confirmed reports that Commander Cool has been stopped at the Mexican border in an attempt to flee the country. He is currently being detained by Mexican police, whom are expected to turn the war criminal over to German authorities."
"Free French forces in Africa are finally being driven from the Congo in the latest drive to flush the forces out from the region. Many of the armies are retreating towards South Africa, a nation which still maintains a state of war with the Axis states. The South African government's hold on their nation is strained, however, as the population begins to fear what kind of destruction war would bring to their nation."
**Okay, now taking guesses on when China will collapse. I have not got that far yet, but wheover gets it right gets bragging rights.**
