The SU was small-minded, their ideology caused them to collapse, we will not suffer the same fate. Soon you will learn Putin's plans with Russia
Revival of Russia, Part 3
The Worldwide Reaction
New Year's eve, 2003
New Year's eve, 2003
"And so, at the dawn of a new year, comes a new era!
Russia will not stand the Ukranian aggresivity against Belarus. Our forces have to intervene.
The terror Ukraine represents towards it's neighbours must be stopped now, before the war escalates! That's why Russia will force the Ukranian army to surrender, not for territorial gains. Happy 2004."
Putin turned around and walked out, Carl, and the other journalists were stunned, was this real?
It seemed more like a nightmare, Putin had summoned the journalists to the Kremlin, everyone had assumed it was going to be the usual New Year's eve speech, but it hadn't been, Putin had just declared war on Ukraine...

New York Times said:
3 January, 2004
He was acting in his new function as head of the EU, not as president of France.
He started speaking:
"France and Russia have always been quite close, same as all of Europe we depend upon them for our gas and oil, and this has not changed by the war in Ukraine, what has changed is the dormant state in which Russia has been for so long.
Many accuse Putin of warmongering and have a vision of the rebirth of the Iron Curtain. But I am not one of the many, nor is my colleague Gerhard Schröder. The EU will not intervene, nor will we allow US forces to use our supplies in case they do intervene, for we see the intervention of Russia as an action of peacekeeping. I salute you all, my friends and colleagues."
Chirac left the stage, he had (unwittingly) changed the world for ever.
4 January, 2004
Putin bent over the report of his staff, and examined how much of Russia's production was going to the war effort right now, he estimated about 20%, not counting the modernising of the army, which had been started in early 2003. "Very good, with a minimal amount of strain on our industry we're able to provide our troops with all they need, although oil is a bit of a problem, it probably won't become a real issue. Are there any reports about the battle for Stalino?"
"Yes sir, there are." Kormiltsev answered handing Putin a letter from Baluevsky, reporting how the army had fared against the Ukranians.
Field Marshal Baluevsky said:
Sladislakow had a grin on his face once again, after Chirac had announced that the EU did not see the intervention of Russia as a true invasion of Ukraine but as a mission of peacekeeping, Bush had almost thrown a fit.
For not only was he no longer supported by his own people, but the EU also disapproved of his foreign policy.
"Mr. President, is this intervention of Russia in Ukraine not very similar to yours against the Taliban in Afghanistan, but you condemn the actions of Russia, saying Putin is a dangerous man and that he only wants to revive the SU of old." Sladislakow asked, after 4 similar but less direct questions like these. Bush's answer was complex, and took 10 minutes to be finished, but in fact it was incoherent and it was obvious Bush realised it was true, he was being a hypocrite. Once again the president of the United States had lost face, and his motion to start an embargo against Russia in the UN was absolutely shot down and the parliament of the USA decided against the proposal of sending weapons, oil and supplies to Ukraine.
Russia's campaign could go on unchallenged, and the stunned leaders of Ukraine now realised that they should've never started a war with Belarus, not even over a dispute so serious, but they had never expected Russia's response to be so quick and brutal.
But the North was weak and the Belarussians had run out of oil, would they be able to break through the line and force a white peace upon Russia?
Only time would tell...

Revival of Russia, Part 4
The 'Pacification' of Ukraine
5 January, 2004
After months of haggling, Iran concedes to Russian demands 5 January, 2004
"I have been able to get the Iranians to concede military control, my lord." Lenninson reported, after a very long silence on his part, Putin had no longer even thought a breakthrough was possible, but it seemed he had underestimated the potential of his protégé.
"Is that so? And what, if I may ask, did they ask in return?" Putin enquired.
"A nuke"
Putin was completely taken by surprise and after a 5 minute long silence...
"Tell Khomeini I agree, this nuclear device will be disguised as foreign aid, and sent to where he specifies by train, as long as I get those Iranian divisions, NOW" Putin hung up after Leninsson's acknowledgment and sat back in his chair, all wasn't going as planned...
8 January, 2004
Leninsson had been sent to the Northern front by Putin, he didn't like it here, it was cold, the entire Ukranian plane had been frozen, and the forces were stretched extremely thin, so thin Belarussian support would be vital, and he was going to have to travel to Minsk soon, and try to get Putin's plans approved by the cumbersome Belarussian parliament...He had achieved much, from a lowly courier to personal protégé of the Lord of Russia, Putin had don' much for him, but Leninsson had proved a very skilled man, convincing the Persians, and now becoming supreme commander of the Northern Task Force.
But he still lived in the shade, no one knew who he was or where he came from, only Putin himself knew everything about him.
He had taken care of that little problem by bribing the archivist long before ever becoming Putin's protégé.
No one would ever use his background against him, Putin would never know...
9 January, 2004
Kuroyedov had great news for Putin, the navy had won a deciding battle in the Sea of Azov and was chasing the Ukranian navy to the Black Sea itself, soon Crimean forces would be shelled into shelter by the Black Sea Fleet, making it harder for them to escape capture by Baluevsky. The entire war was going their way, especially now that the air force was bombing Kiev and it's suburbs and the entire Northern line, soon Belarus would be able to break through and then Ukraine would fall completely.
11 January, 2004
Putin received the reports from Leninsson by fax, he had only been able to flee from the Ukranians in Zhoblin by leaving his armed escort and go to Minsk by train, this had enlengthened his travel time by a day, but he had made it, only just escaping the ambush at the airport in Zhoblin.
Once he arrived in Minsk he had immediately requested an update from Belarus asking how much resources the country had left, and what he received wasn't positive, Belarus had ran out of oil 3 weeks ago, and had only been able to survive because it was winter and the Ukranians advanced slowly, if Russia hadn't entered the war, it would've been all over by February.
Now Leninsson demanded that Belarussia would give him control over all forces they had left, meanwhile he sent an envoy to the 2 divisions of paratroopers stationed in Kaluga, they would have to make for Gomel as fast as possible, to defend it from the 2 Ukranian motorized infrantry divisions in Zhlobin, if they would get there on time was the question, meanwhile he sent another fax to Putin, demanding an immediate transfer of 5k oil to Belarussia, he would need their helicopters to be active, as they would be the spearhead in his actions in Zhlobin.
14 January, 2004
After doing that Leninsson further inspected the Ukranian-Belarussian border, and all the latest photographs taken from a Belarrussian scout plane, he concluded now was the time for an ambitious strike on Lvov by Belarussian forces in Brest Litovsk, on the farmost Western side of the border.
At the same time he received news from Chernigov, Vyshgorod would soon fall to his mechanized infrantry and then he'd be able to encircle the 2 Ukranian divisions in Zhlobin, destroying their chances on a drive into the heartlands.
But that was not the only news he received, before he could order the Belarussians to move on Lvov, an envoy from the lieutenant leading the armoured division in Konotop arrived, his forces had been beat some time ago, in a counter-attack on Priluki from Kiev, he excused himself for the late warning the plans to secure the Dnjepr had failed, but his forces had been in a full retreat and he had been scrambling to reassemble them.
The envoy also mentioned that it had been due to the dominance of the airforce that the forces of Ukraine hadn't crossed the river and pressed their advantage, it would have cost them too many lives, the bombers were too dominant and had already wiped out an entire division in the South.
Leninsson grimaced, would the line hold? He glanced once again at the map he had pinned to the wall in his office...

Thought I'd make up for the lack of Leninsson a bit.

This is all very nice, but i would be very happy to see a scenario with events and everything EXACTLY the same as it is in our world. I mean to do correctly Africa,allocataion of oil, rare, metal all these. Number or division and their names, just as in real HoI in 1936, same but in 2006, let's say, how do u think? (with exact number of ICBMs and nukes)
With the exact number of nukes, we'd be able to nuke EVERY SINGLE province in the world 5 times over (if not more) and a place like Congo, who wouldn't get nuked, would become the superpower, not a very good idea, also, I'll play to 2019, if I haven't conquered the world by then, so I wouldn't worry about it becoming unrealistic, it's normal

The early versions of MDS had realistic Africa, Central America, etc. and ran terribly. Like, 5 seconds per game hour.
Also, it would mean a very easy mop-up for an expansionist power in Africa...L'Afrique said:

Anyhow, another update coming up tonight.
