"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 report on the latest news from Europe, Asia and around the world."
"The Chicago Pact forces in Australia have continued their offensive against the Red Army. With over 1.2 million men of various nations and backgrounds, Pact forces have driven a similar number into three pockets across the continent, with two in the north and one in the south. The southern pocket, which contains roughly 800,000 Russian soldiers, is primarily held up in the city of Adelaide, and is reportedly close to surrender. The United States navy has driven off rescue attempts by the Soviet Navy, and has forced the Soviets to abandon resupply efforts."
"The speed of the advance has caught even the CP Commanders by surprised, and has beaten even the most aggressive estimates. In just under two months, over 100 Soviet divisions have been either captured, destroyed, or forced into isolate pockets. Such a defeat will surely be devastating to combined strength the Red Army can bear from hence forth, and some are calling it the turning point in the war."
"The Soviets have attacked the last remaining urban center in Japan with a nuclear device. The attack appears to have been revenge for the large-scale CP nuclear attack on many Soviet cities, with millions of lives having been lost on both sides. Japanese aircover had been greatly reduced due to the increased air presence required in Australia for the offensive there to succeed, and has led some Japanese to believe that the Americans put greater value on the lives of the Australians over the Japanese."
**Victory is almost mine! And how the f**k did they get another nuclear bomb? I've been pounding that place every chance I get!**
