To commemorate my 1000th post, I'll give you a new update. See you in 1000 posts.
HAPPY 1937!!!
From early 1933, Luxembourg, a weak, tiny nation, had been furiously building up, well... Everything it could.
The world had just looked on in disbelief as the nation overcame the worldwide depression and its resource stockpiles skyrocketed, to a point that it was virtually
running Europe's economies. It's population skyrocketed along with its resources, and Frenchmen on the border looked on as enormous, gray buildings rose in the valleys and mountains of Luxembourg.
But it was a peaceful buildup, as far as the world knew. They didn't know, however, that Luxembourg was researching military technologies and doctrines at an alarming rate, quickly making Germany's and France's equipment and doctrines seem useless.
When they DID start building up, in January 11th, 1936, they did so quickly, managing to recruit 2 divisions' worth of men in a few months. These divisions went on to crush Belgium's 13-division-army.
Months later, Luxembourg's army, now with 8 divisions, went on to take out Germany, showing its worth in the largest battle in history so far, the Battle of Berlin.
Officially, 7 divisions, Luxembourg's entire army, went against Germany's last armies, totaling 13 divisions. But in reality, Luxembourg's men had to go against civilians, who used very unsophisticated devices known as Charlotte Cocktails, which consisted of glass bottles filled with oil and burning rags. The fire from the rags would touch the oil upon impact with a target and spread the fire onto it.
Many men were lost due to those devices, but through brutal fighting in every house, every room, Luxembourg pushed on to victory, and crushed Germany's last forces.
Later on, a puppet government was established, and it quickly began building its own army, and soon had an army that was far larger than those of the non-allied powers around it, save for Poland, which had an army of around 50 divisions.
The combined armies of Luxembourg and Germany were powerful, having all the doctrines they'd need for a long, long time, and technologically advanced equipment that would not be outdated any time soon.
Their industrial might dwarfed every European nation's. Rather, every nation in the world, save for the US, which wouldn't bother Europe any time soon, Luxembourg knew.
In the First of January of 1937, Luxembourg stands at the top of the world, as opposed to 1900, when Luxembourg was just a name for a piece of land that was to be stepped on.
Surely, Luxembourg was going to reach greatness... No. Luxembourg would be greater. It was already as great as any nation could be.
But Luxembourg wouldn't be a nation. Luxembourg... Would be a continent. Perhaps more...
