It's a Long Way to Paris: National France in 21st Century

**Hochseeflotte** · 18-01-2011 01:28

The Allies/entente in WW1-WW2 believed that each ethnic group should have their own country. What is the UNA's stance on defeated governments? Turkey(newottomanempireee) is what stand out the most.

France right now is more multiethnic than most countries in the world. Russia is their ally and is no better. I would say using one people - one country would be potential suicide. Especially France should feel negative to this, they essensially survived by holding their African empire together and as a base for attack.

**DeSota** · 18-01-2011 18:45

Yep. The idea of a country for every ethnic group never would have found root in this world of massive multiethnic empires. No need to break up every country into tiny ethnic enclaves at this point.
Anyway, if the peace treaty route is the way the AAR is going, I think Germany needs to be stripped of it's allies and colonies, even if it's allowed to remain intact and with it's current government. I think Mitteleuropa should consist of Germany, Hungary, and maybe some of the eastern European states. That's it.

Thanks for comments, everyone! Your opinions will be taken into account for the future developments.

War of the Titans - 12

French forces advance into Flanders-Wallonia. Heavy fights are still raging in Alsace.

Invasion of Crete is finally launched. Island is defended by German, Italian and English troops, commanded by English general. Mitteleuropean forces are lacking supplies due to naval blockade of Crete, being unable to put up successful defense.

La Royale scores serie of naval victories. Unfortunately, nuclear battlecruiser FS Tunis is sunk by enemy.

French troops in Ghent manage to defend their positions against counter-offensive of Mitteleuropean forces.

French Air Force is clearing the path for UNA advance over the Low Countries.

Another German island fortress in Mediterranean falls. Malta is secured by French army.

Another German puppet surrenders: War is over for Flanders-Wallonia.

French launch offensive against Italian positions to open the way into Italy, but Italian troops manage to defend their positions in Torino and Genoa.

New reinforcements from North America arrive to Ghent. Confederate States have sent entire air calvary corps to aid the UNA war effort in Europe.

Dutch lay down the arms. Netherlands surrender and way into Northern Germany is clear.

Germans are determined to defend Alsace at all costs.

Heer even launches attack against French-occupied Mulhouse. Alsace-Lorraine is manifestation of ancient Franco-German rivalry and both sides fight furiously for domination over this region.

Qing Empire is holding its ground in parts of Central Asia and Northern India, but war machine of imperial China is getting overheated. Qing monarchy, or what is left of it, is facing internal collapse. However, fresh armies from the Southern Indian princes are keeping frontline in India relatively stable in favour of Mitteleuropa.

Peace and order in wast European territories under French control is hard to maintain. Fortunately, Dutch were ready to cooperate. Dutch armies were mainly disbanded when Netherlands signed capitulation, and didn't retreat into Germany to continue the war on German side. Dutch authorities adressed the people to stay calm and wait for negotiations with French. Dutch were rewarded well for their good deeds. Republic of United Netherlands was established, consisting of former Dutch territory, Flanders and even Brussels. Provisional goverment, lead by Dutch generals, was put in power to normalize the situation and lead the country until the free elections will be held.

Another attempt to break Italian line ended in failure.

Italians even launched counter-attack and French troops in Grenoble barely managed to hold the line, suffering high casulties.

YES !! Former Imperial provinces of Elsas-Lothringen are once again in the french hands ! Berlin is now not far away from your current positions....

**atty** · 19-01-2011 20:31

Bruxelles in Dutch hands? No way, that's rightful French territory!

The advance in Germany looks promising, but I fear that the Kaiser may be seriously thinking about pushing the big red botton...

**General_Hoth** · 19-01-2011 21:13

Yes Bruxelle is majority french!

**Kaiser_Mobius** · 19-01-2011 21:46

Very good progress. Alsace-Lorraine is back in your hands, the Dutch are now fighting on your side, the fortress islands of Crete and Malta have fallen, The Qing empire looks like it is finished, and the industries of the Rhineland are under your control. Just keep pushing. Destroy Germany's armies, wipe out Germany's allies, and do not stop until the Germans are broken.

Also, can you get some more reinforcements from North America in the shape of more Canadian/Confederate troops? Are you working on building new ground forces of your own at the moment?

**SovietAmerika** · 19-01-2011 21:54

I personally believe that Namur should go to the Dutch if you're keeping Brussels and Mons with them. It'd make the border look much better. If not, give Brussels and Mons to France. It's your call, however.

Kaiser should be more interested in defending his Reich over invading Russia, if you ask me.

**Bergioyn** · 19-01-2011 22:50

I think Brussels and Mons would be better of with France.

Indeed. Sadly with the AI, that just won't happen. Just look at Qing China.

Another reason why a cease fire should be signed, to allow the German a chance to fight back in 20 years!

**Karaiskandar** · 20-01-2011 09:32

Heavy fights in the Alps, my poor Chasseurs are in bad shape...

**hoi2geek** · 21-01-2011 00:45

I think that it's now time for a referendum to be established in Galicia, and possibly even Catalonia to decide if they want to . . .

-Stay with Spain
-Form their own countries
-Unite with their neighbors (in Catalonia's case, they could join their Occitan brothers and unite with France)

**Zeldar155** · 21-01-2011 16:35

I say referendums AFTER the war.

**General_Hoth** · 21-01-2011 18:25

+1

**Razgriz 2K9** · 21-01-2011 18:40

+ 2

**SovietAmerika** · 21-01-2011 23:01

+3. Let's win this first.

**Kaiser_Mobius** · 21-01-2011 23:34

I frankly see no point in balkanizing Spain. These small countries like Galicia or whatever would barely be viable states, and would be very weak as allies.

The only thing I think should happen to Spain is the establishment of a modern Spanish Republic, (complete with the RL republican Spanish flag would be cool), led by General Kurt Steiner as a reward for his service to National France's military efforts. That would be a far better solution than breaking apart what could be a potentially very strong ally.

But of course, there is still a war to win, so that of course gets the upmost priority.
