Preparations up to 1 January 1940
Technology:
Industrial Efficiency increases and following Electronic and Mechanical breakthrough I start development of Radio Technology. Radios increase fighting efficiency by 10%.
Diplomacy:
Germany begins mobilising its army on 5 September 1939 and attacks Poland on 3 October 1939. The Soviet Union on the same day attacks Finland and Luxembourg is the only country in the World that officially supports Finland and declares war on the Soviet Union.
Luxembourg changes policies to the war policies. 90% national union allows the Heavy Industry Emphasis.
Finland surrenders on 17 October 1939 after two weeks of fighting. The Soviets this time done very well.
On 1 November 1939, Luxembourg begins mobilisation and ends it on 6 November 1939. 15,000 Luxembourgers are mobilised into two panzerwagen divisions. Luxembourg had population of about 290,000 people in 1940. At the same time NCOs are conscripted too.
The completion of unfinished units begins one day after the implementation of the Service by Requirement. I complete only land units and leave Transport fleets uncompleted yet. Three Transport fleets are to be completed later.
Poland surrenders on 13 November 1939 after 6 weeks of fighting. I would say a historical result.
Germany declares war on Denmark on 6 December 1939 and Denmark holds out until 21 December 1939. Danish did very well.
By the end of December 1939, Luxembourgian divisions are almost filled with NCOs. Luxembourg is almost ready for the war against the Allies. I am waiting for the improvement of the Operational Level Organisation which should be completed on 14 January 1940. Every hour of delay could be crucial!
Politics:
CSV win elections on 1 January 1940. Actually there was a chance for Fascists to win elections and change government type which would have removed the Queen as the Head of the State.
