[Forum Game] The Cold War

[Clophiroth]

¡Arriba España!

The war is over, Spain! The World War is over, but it looks some people haven´t notice it! A new world order has arisen, a new state of affairs, where the fate of the world is decided in an assembly of the free countries of the world! But not Spain! A new system, where all the free nations of the West receives help to recover after the greatest conflict of all! But not Spain! Why? Why is our country different, why does the world hate and isolate Spain, her people, her richnesses?

Yes, our richness. In spite of our excellent economical policies, our nation is poor. Why? We have resources, we have fertile lands, we have the most hardworking people in the world. Why are we, my beloved country, so poor? Because we are marginated and isolated of the international community. When the US offered the Marshall Plan, what country had the help negated? We. Spain. When the UN were founded, who was rejected? We. Spain. The war is over, world! You can´t punish us by the mistakes of ten years ago! Mistakes which we repent. We are a free country. Why don´t we have the same privileges as the other free countries? Why are we mistreated by you, world?

We ask, no, demand, to be accepted into the UN! You can´t leave us outside, like if Spain were an illegal state or a colony! Spain to the UN, if it ever dare to call herself a legitimate assembly of nations!

¡Arriba España!​

From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina​

To the Soviet Union,
The treaty between Argentina and the Us is mostly economical, with some military incentive to the Us to have them send much needed economic aid to my country. Right now, we are dealing with a weak industry, and our military is heavily outdated. Most of our warships are old WW1 designs, and we lack any proper capital ships to defend our shores. Argentina is willing to come to a trade arrangement with the Soviet Union, but at this time, we see your nation as still dealing with the ravages of the war. So any trade arrangement must be formed on your end, and presented to us so we don't overstep our boundaries and take resources your nation needs to rebuild.

To Spain,
While the war is indeed over, there are reports of war crimes having been committed during your civil war, and your support of Nazis Germany during its rise to power made several nations weary of your true motives. While our former leader Juan Peron may have approved of you and the Nazis, the new centrist government of Argentina does not. We do not support a government who seeks to harms its own citizens for the benefit of a few, nor does it approve of any nation that supported a reign of terror that will be felt for generations to come. You nation did not take part in the fighting of the Second World War, so why should your nation, which has had about 9 years of peace to rebuild and prosper get supplies that are needed for nations that just 3 years prior were left in ruin?

To the UN,
We have uncovered papers in the post Peron-administration, with details on several Nazis and SS leaders, most of whom are wanted for war crimes in Eastern Europe and the concentration camps. We are sending the information so that the UN war committee send in the right forces to capture and try these rats for their crimes. They are mostly hiding in the hills of Argentina, and we are going to send those in the former government who helped said men to prison, for aiding in the escape of wanted war criminals. I hope this shows the UN, and the world, that Argentina is no longer the fascist government it was.

-Luis Bourdoir, President of Argentina

To Poland,

To USSR,

If the USSR supports Egypt in its hateful campaign to exterminate the Jewish people the Israeli government will have no choice but to seek the involvement of the USA - thus escalating the situation.

The Kingdom of Egypt does not seek the extermination of the Jewish people, we are engaged in a struggle to protect the people of Palestine, who are threatened with more mass expulsions and terror from a hostile party. The Arab League and the Kingdom of Egypt itself rejects this propaganda. As stated our reasons for intervening in Palestine was the termination of the Mandate left the area ungovernable, especially with the violence being carried out and the expulsions of whole communities and communal massacres. The neighboring states cannot tolerate a minority enforcing their will on the rest of the Palestinian community and wish to establish a unified Palestine, in which all groups are represented and on the principles of self-determination recognized by the United Nations Charter. It should be noted that we have offered the Zionists a call for a stronger cease fire and more negotiations in which we can try to peacefully resolve a conflict which has already traumatized and cost so many lives. Yet they continue to refuse and make more aggressive proclamations. We want to only see a restoration of peace, law and order, and that the rights of the Palestinian majority to be respected.

As for the Soviet Union, the Kingdom of Egypt has no ambitions to joining any superpower at this time, and do not see any issue with signing friendship treaties and expanding cultural ties. We would have no issue with signing similar agreements with the United States or any other nation, but we have not received any overtures. We are against any superpower involvement in this issue unless it is for facilitating peace and do not appreciate this blatant propaganda designed to transform this regional conflict into a global one.

His Majesty Farouk I, by the grace of God, King of Egypt and Sudan, Sovereign of Nubia, of Kordofan, and of Darfur

Kingdom of Norway

Official statements issued by Office of his Excellency the Prime Minister of Norway, Government Quarter, Oslo
Royal Norwegian Ministry of Finance, Akersgata 40, Oslo
The buildup of the Norwegian economy has started, ruins of bombed industry buildings are being destructed and new ones are being built. The "new Industrialization" for Norway are just getting closer and closer as each day passes. The government has also started rebuilding Finnmark, the most Northern Norwegian mainland province, after German forces burnt it down under the great evacuation, new homes are being built in record time, and most of the families will be able to move back in a month or two. Right now the Borders between Troms province and Finnmark are closed, only construction workers, architects, Government officials and Military personell are allowed to enter.
- Olav Meisdalshagen, Finance Minister of Norway

Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Victoria Terasse, Oslo
With regards to the Turkey-conflict, Norway gives its full support to our close friends, the United States. But will not take any major military move for the time being, due to our lack of military power and outdated equipment. We hope peace will be settled between the Republic of Turkey and the United states before any major battle can take place.
We are relieved that the United States and the Soviet Union has resolved their dispute with Argentina and lifted the sanctions. Norway also want to inform the International Community that we are positive to the Finnish application to the UN.
- Halvard Lange, Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs(Acting on behalf of Trygve Lie)

Royal Norwegian Armed Forces, Royal Norwegian Ministry of Defence
The Norwegian military is outdated. The Army is not capable of doing its job, protect Norway from any Foreign threat, nor is the Navy or the Air Force. This is because the troops lack training and modern equipment, it's also caused by the fact that the military only counts around 30 000 soldiers.
Norway announces ot the International Community that it will start modernizing its army and start recruitment campaigns to forge a new, better military, able to help troops both at home, and help allies abroad.
Now, the Norwegian Navy owns no ship that are either up to date or useful, most of them were sunk during the Assault on Norway, some were captured by the Germans and sunk in duty, we will also start modernizing this part of the military, but the government would like to prioritize the Army before the Navy.

To Kim Il Sung

The People's Republic of China will be more than happy to make sure North Korea is secure from any Western threats and will be able to support North Korea when the Chinese Civil War finally ends.

-Chairman Mao Zedong


OOC: So how will the rest of the CCW be represented now? I didn't report any battles because there wasn't any major campaigns or battles going on before.
Will I need to manually start campaigns? (Ex. The Liaoshen Campaign has started, the Taiyuan Campaign has started, ect.)

OOC: I have been curious to how war will play out. Clueless could please explain your vision on how combat will work.

 

[Samilou]

I'd like to sign up as Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of the Dominion of India

Colour sure doesn't fit India, but Germany and Turkey already has claimed the most suitable colours for India so this will have to do I suppose to avoid confusion. Note that India is still at war with Pakistan over Kashmir.

 

[bakerydog]

OOC: We RP offensives and the like then? I don't see how it can be done without orders.

 

[sebajokela]

We would like to propose this treaty to the US:

-Turkey will repay all aid and send back all military equipment to the US and its allies.

-No bases are to be build in Turkey in the next 20 years

-Turkey will pay reparations to the US and its allies for having to mobilize for war

-Turkey will not join an alliance including the soviet union or united states for five years.

-Turkey will not sign any defence agreements with either the US or USSR until the first free elections of Turkey have passed

We also hope that US makes peace for the sake of humanity

To Israel:We thank you for your words, and are proud to call you our ally. However I must beg you to reconsider your threat of running to the USA. They have already brought the world to the edge of destruction, and they would do it again.

To USSR:We must ask you to accept the existence of Israel. Please, these people have suffered deeply, and have just been granted their promised land. I also ask for permission to trade with Norway. While they have a king, and so will he never understand sharing the wealth, I think perhaps their people can be swayed. Please accept the enclosed gift in good faith

To Egypt: Poland praises you for your actions in mediating the Istanbul Crisis. Such a fair and worthy country must need allies, and if you would be happy to, we could be that ally. We realise we are unworthy, but please enjoy the enclosed gift.

Petr Velnias, Premier of the People's Republic of Poland.

OOC I I take it Clueless that you are going to fabricate scenarios that we will have to deal with over the course of the game? Like in D+D sort of thing?

State Department, Washington, D.C.

The United States of America announces that, per terms with our good friend and neighbor Canada, B-29 Superfortress Nuclear Bombers will be scrambled from their Air Force Base in Newfoundland, Canada in order to ensure that in the case of a war, the United States of America would be able to defend itself from any and all Soviet Aggression. The United States of America thanks Canada for their cooperation in this matter, and we once again urge the Soviet Union to stand down in the rightful American Liberation of Turkey, controlled by an insane and despotic government, attempting to suppress the will of its own people, to fall to the ills of Communism, and become nothing more than a mindless drone of the Soviet Union. We ask the Soviet Union not to spark a war and take this deadly fruit, as we have sworn to protect Turkey, not the puppet government that is attempting to ruin and destroy their fine Republican Ideals.

The republic of Turkey is not happy that US has to resort to name calling and nukes (ahistorical) but how about this treaty:The treaty we proposed earlier but with this adition:

-The free elections scheduled for the year 1950 will be held when the treaty is signed and will be monitored by united nations official and a refendrum will be held to determine what the people want in terms of alignment?This would mean that we would see what the people want and the goverment will be changed,so will you accept the treaty Turkey offers to you?

-President İsmet İnönü of Turkey.

OOC:This would fulfill your goals so either that or you too are ahistorical

((Nuclear Weapons are ahistorical? I'm sorry, but what? Cold War? Nuclear Annihilation?))

 

[sebajokela]

((Nuclear Weapons are ahistorical? I'm sorry, but what? Cold War? Nuclear Annihilation?))

The use of them in a minor conflict and besides,a few nukes are not a good deterrant

 

[Raeheart_]

((Nuclear Weapons are ahistorical? I'm sorry, but what? Cold War? Nuclear Annihilation?))

((Nuclear weapons in 1948. Yup, ahistorical. Sorry.))

 

[sebajokela]

((Nuclear weapons in 1948. Yup, ahistorical. Sorry.))

A few nukes are not a good deterrant against soviet union.

 

[Frymonmon]

((They are deployed against the Soviet Union if they intervene, which, by all accounts, is exactly what the United States would have done. The CCCP does not have Nuclear Weapons yet [Test in 1949, Air-droppable in 1951], while the United States does [You know, Japan]. To say it's ahistorical that the USA would drop bombs on the CCCP is absurd.))
