PEACEFUL PROGRESS AND SAFETY

24/8/39
Joachim “Adolf, the soviets have proposed a non aggression pact with territorial gains for both of us.”
Adolf “Propose an alliance see how they respond, if they don’t like it agree to the pact.”

Joachim “They turned the alliance down but have agreed to the pact.”
Adolf “Good. Right lets mobilise the army. Then we tell Poland to give us what we want or else.”

Herman “Adolf thank god you finished your speech ahead of schedule, what a disaster it would have been to lose you after all you have done.
Adolf “I know, you restore Germany’s greatness without a shot fired and a fellow German tries to kill you.”
Walther “Your record is impeccable, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Memel, Danzig and upper Silesia. What more can people want? We even made an agreement with the soviets so we have nothing to fear from them.”
Joachim “Yes I was surprised the allies just allowed us to take so much without a military response. Its almost like you new they wouldn’t retaliate Adolf.”
Adolf(smiling) “How could I have known? that’s like saying I left the beer hall early because I KNEW someone was trying to kill me. Now that’s impossible. Unless you KNOW the future, which I don’t, do I?”

First time I see Poland agree to Danzig or war, interesting.

I had it happen In My AAR as well it's far more likely with a strong national socialist party in Poland. After it is Silesia or war which is similar and then Alcase Lorrane or War which always results in war
 
yes the polish national socialist party was 57 i think, fifty something anyway on the inteligence screen. i had been influencing them for this very purpose. now the war can start when i want(soon)

Its a pity there isnt a (very small) chance of France accepting if they were a national socialist country and if Germany had a large enough army on the border. As in say 0.5% or something just to make it more interesting. Just discovered you need to trigger the alsace lorrraine decision to get the cores on that region.
 
so the french will have to feel the might of the German army first? interesting, could make for some nervous poles :p
 
OPERATION CORE

1/1/40
Radio Broadcast in Germany
Adolf “People of Germany, today is a day to remember. Why? I hear you ask, well that’s simple. Today is the day we took the first steps to restore the pride of this nation. We have allied ourselves with Japan. At 5am this morning we went to war against those who wish to oppress us. Victory is assured, we have the best armed forces in the world. No one can stand before us.”

pocketdreams17.jpg

Game play note; Portugal is the only non limited war. Hopefully Japan will conquer some of their oversees colonies in Asia.

Joachim “Our “allies” the soviets have “joined” our cause and have attacked Poland and Finland. Operation Himmler has been a success, many nations believed that this war is not our fault.”

New ministers were selected for government today. They were selected in order to benefit from their talents.

10/1/40
Adolf(thoughts); when the real Adolf interfered in the war it ruined Germany, but these generals(AI) are useless.
Adolf “As I understand what you’ve told me, we have inflicted nearly 30,000 casualties on our poorly trained and equipped enemies. BUT we have suffered over 15,000 casualties mainly to air assault. What are our fighters doing?”
Goering “Adolf they have been fighting hard, they …”
Adolf “ENOUGH. From other sources I have learned that several fighter wings have been covering the same areas. I am taking a more direct approach. From now on you will need my approval before any military action is taken.”

16/1/40
Radio broadcast
Adolf “My fellow countrymen, today the first of many of our enemies has surrendered. The Danish nation is no more they have joined the Greatness of Germany.”

26/1/40
Wilhelm(Canaris) “Adolf with our successes in Poland and many of their cities being cut off and under siege, we have reason to believe they are considering surrender as an option.”
Adolf “Good, the sooner the better.”

OPERATION CORE PART 2
4/2/40
Radio broadcast in Soviet Russia
Today during our struggle against the Polish nation our ‘gallant’ allies the Germans whilst trying to give air support to our troops in Poland ‘accidentally’ bombed our troops as well. After many apologies from our allies it has been agreed that they would no longer assist our troops in the conquest of our common enemy. Long live mother Russia.

14/2/40
Game play note
Had to declare war on Norway(decision), had run out of manpower for reinforcements.

15/2/40
Joachim “Adolf the Poles have been beaten, those that could have escaped to England but the country is now ours.”
Adolf “Fantastic news, how is the rest of the front progressing?”
Joachim “Apparently the army are expecting Hungary to capitulate any day now, little of the country is still free.”

25/2/40
Adolf giving a speech in Munich
“My fellow countrymen I came before you today to ask you to continue with your efforts in our nations industry, an industry which provides the tools for our armed forces. The tools you have provided have rid the world of the Polish nation and as of the early hours of this morning, your tools brought the complete unconditional surrender of Hungary. Once more our armies are victorious. I give thanks not only to our men at the front but to you, the people who give them the means to achieve great victories such as this.

Adolf “so our casualties are only 67,157, but we have inflicted 470,185 casualties upon our enemies? Well it’s a good start but we will need to improve.”
 
yeh not getting Italy into the Axis is probably a big mistake unless you plan to puppet them as you can't get the 2 related modifiers which are quite nice.
 
I missed the DoW on Italy earlier. Why didn't you bring them into the Axis?

yeh not getting Italy into the Axis is probably a big mistake unless you plan to puppet them as you can't get the 2 related modifiers which are quite nice.

i was going to get them into the axis origionally but decided to do things differently(i usually get them in the axis when i play). I havent decided if i will puppet them or annex them yet. ill decide when the surrender event triggers.
 
OPERATION CORE PART 3

Ludwig(Beck) “Sorry we had to delay the progress report for a day Adolf but we wanted to make sure no enemy troops escaped the pockets, they have all been killed or taken prisoner. It has been a good few days.”
Adolf “completely destroyed the trapped units? That is good. Well what else has happened?”
Ludwig “On 12/3/40 the Fins chose to give the Russians what they asked for. Today has had other things happen. We sunk the Athenia, but are blaming the Brits. We have signed a long term trade agreement with Russia and we have started to allow people from the occupied countries to join the wehrmacht.”
Adolf “That’s an excellent idea let these foreigners die for our cause and allow more Germans to survive.”
