Brazil: The Marching towards destiny

OK, i started up a game as Brazil in the 1936 scenario, and i will now allow you to fallow my campaign of glory in detail with loads of screenshots for you to enjoy!:D

Also, note that since i use a nazi swastika flag in my games i had to censor some of the screenshots since swastikas are not allowed on the forum so some of the screenshots might look a little odd. ;)

EDIT: Like some people have pointed out there are actually some very small swastikas on the diplomacy screens. I was not aware of this so i am sorry! I can't fix it right now since it's extremely late, but give me 24 hours and it will be fixed!

EDIT: I think i have removed all of the swastikas from the screens now , i am most sorry for about having them there in the first place.

Please tell me what you think! It took me 3 and a half hour to make this so i will be very very sad if this thread is ignored :( Could you as a human begin live with that?

Perhaps you can even give me some advice on my next course of action! :D

Part 1: The road to War



Diary entry 1. 7.February 1938

After several years of of weighing my options, I as the leader of our glorious nation of Brazil have yet to decide how to react to the growing tensions between the super powers. Germany has regained it's former power and are threatening the peace in Europe while Japan is causing chaos in Asia. I have already established a standing army of roughly 150-200 thousand men, most of whom are defending our North-west coast and our Southern border.





The United states, the nation that will ultimately decide our course of action for us through there own decisions are unsure of who to side with as both the allies and axis attempt to convince them to join there side. As the leader of our nation, i have decided to wait and see what the President does before making any hasty decisions myself.

In the meantime, i have decided to focus our research efforts into industrial technologies to increase our relatively unimpressive IC.





End of diary entry for President of Brazil.


Diary entry 2. 3.May 1938

It's now May the third 1938, i have yet to decide what action to take and the global tensions are only getting worse. Japan, Italy and Hungary have joined the axis, the Japanese invasion into China has turned into a disaster, and the Japanese are already loosing ground in Korea to advancing army's from the Asian mainland. And to increase tensions further Nationalist China has decided to embargo Germany as a result of the friendly German-Japan relations. Is this axis Defeat in Asia a sign of peace? Or is it only a indication for other things to come?





End of diary entry for President of Brazil.


Diary entry 3. 1.August 1939

The Shit has really hit the fan in Europe. In 27 of May 1939 Germany invaded Poland as a result of there refusal to give Germany back the lands that rightfully belong to them. The French and the English enter war with Germany as a result. And in the east, the Soviets appear to be working with the Germans, as they have annexed a number of eastern European country's and Invaded Finland without Germany complaining about it.







In the meantime, much of South America has taken a Pro-axis stance in this conflict with Argentina and Peru already sharing very friendly relations with the Germans. As the leader of this great country, i have always favored courses of actions that ensure friendly relations with the United States for they hold the power of life and death over the whole hemisphere. It was thus most shocking to discover that they are aligning them self's towards the axis, even despite the German aggression in Europe.

Even though our army is arguably the post powerful one in the whole of South America, we would not last for very long against a pro-axis Argentina, a pro-axis Peru, and a pro-axis America. In addition to that, much of our industry relies on energy supplied by Germany and America to function properly, and I have thus reached the conclusion that siding with the allies under these kind of circumstances would equal suicide for our own nation.

And thus, today in August the first 1939, i have officially declared Brazil an Axis power!

However, i still have no intentions to bring war to our people. Our army does not compare to that of the English or the French and thus we must increase the might of our forces if we want to have a chance of beating the allies on the battlefield if and when a war occurs between us.....





End of diary entry for President of Brazil​


Diary entry 4. 7.October 1939

If our glorious nation is suppose to stand any chance against the allies in a possible feature war against then, then it is crucial that we modernize our army. We already shared good relations with Germany prior to our entry into the axis, and now that we are on the same side i successfully arranged an arms deal with the German government. According to this arrangement, we can produce large quantities of infantry modeled directly after the Germans own infantry and equipped with the latest in German infantry weaponry in exchange for a modest fee.



unfortunately, our industry has not properly kicked of yet even though we have officially declared our economy a war economy. This is largely to blame on the lack of energy to power our factory's, a problem that we have been suffering from for years.



In the meantime, the Germans them self's are enjoying a success after success in Europe, the are already pushing France to the brink of defeat and are also storming into Scandinavia. It should be most interesting to see if Germany can keep up with what it is doing.

Diary entry 5. 20.October 1940​

I must say that i am stunned by the success Germany has been enjoying in Europe for the past months. France has surrendered and a new puppet state had been created in South-eastern France while Germany controls the Northern part. Scandinavia has also surrendered with only Finland begin remaining as free country in that region of Europe. Spain has also mobilized as a result of Frances surrender.





Meanwhile in Eastern Europe, Greece took the curios and most interesting decision to declare war on Italy and join the allies in an attempt to take Albania from Italy. Some time afterward Germany decided to invade Yugoslavia.





In May the 26th 1940, the UK went to war with Italy bringing the war to Africa. Relations between the allies and the United States were damaged as a result. The later in July, Spain entered the axis and declared war on the allies in hopes of gaining land in Africa.






In the mean time, i reached the conclusion that because of the scale of this war it could only be a matter of time before the war would reach our land. So I , being now in control of a modern and a respectable army begin making plans for a war with the allies....

But first i changed my research policy's. Since our forces are now relying almost completely on German production licenses to produce our forces i see no real good reason to continue wasting our leadership on infantry and armor so long as the Germans allow us to produce there war machines for our own purposes. Instead i have decided to now focus our effort on another much more interesting research subject: Atomic power and rocket science. There are those who suggest that rockets might one day become an important technology and that the secrets of the atom might be the key to weapons of awesome power. It would be wise to harness this power before everybody else does......



And today, in 27th of October 1940.....i have officially declared war on the allies!

Part 2: The birth of an Empire?

Diary entry 6. 15.April 1941​

So it has begun........the war.

Our first course of action was to invade the British and Dutch colony's in North-eastern South-America both to drive the allies of the continent and also to capture the valuable metal resources located there.






Afterward, me and my generals decided what action to take against the allies in this war. After a few hours worth of discussion, we agreed that our next course of action would be sending troops to Africa to battle the allies. There were 3 main reasons for why we took this decision:

The first one was is that there are a large number of resources to be found in the areas of Africa controlled by the British and those resources could be used to insure our industry will have all the power it needs to function properly. The second reason is that Italy is already fighting the allies in Eastern Africa and attacking the allies in western Africa would force the allies to defend them self's from more the one direction putting them at a disadvantage in the Africa war. The third reason is that owning large portions of Africa would be a first step in creating an overseas empire, so if successful we could be taking the first step towards transforming Brazil from a powerful regional power into a major power. May the glory be ours!

Our first target was a small island named Acsension island, it was controlled by the English and our fleet cannot reach Africa without it. It was thus fortunate that the island was undefended once we got there allowing us to take it from the English without a single shot fired.





While preparing our invasion force our army's in the north defeat the last remaining British forces trying to defend there positions, there were considerable deaths on both sides while the fighting lasted.



Then after the capture of Acsension island, the invasion into Africa went rather smoothly. Our forces encountered a good number of enemy brigades, but with a combination of foot solders and a handful of tanks (German models of course) we were able to destroy the enemy and continue our offensive.





In the meantime, Germany somehow invaded India. Our military specialists have yet to figure out how this was accomplished.



While we were busy fighting in Africa, things were getting meaner in far east Asia, Japan had entered war with the rest of the allied powers and was now fighting the allies in far east Asia while also declaring a embargo against the Soviet Union. It appears it's only a matter of time before the red giant takes action, assuming it's not attacked before that.





After the success of the invasion, we decided to invade South Africa as well. Our plan is to capture the valuable resources located in South Africa and create a third Africa front against the allies. Our army's in the north will go eastwards and southwards while our army's in South Africa will take control of the country before then going North to meet with out troops that are advancing in the north, and at the same time both our army's in the north and the south will attempt to create a united from with the Italian forces in the North-East.

We decided to call this operation: Operation desert wind!

If successful, then the allies will have no place to go to and if that happens then it's almost inevitable that the allies will lose Africa allowing the axis to win the Africa war! (and giving us vast amounts of land and resources of course!).





It is now 15.April 1941. Operation Desert Wind has so far progressed fairly smoothly, we still have allot of ground to take and battles to win but i am optimistic about our campaign in Africa. We have already taken a large amount of land from South Africa as there weapons are no match to our modern army's with the South African brigades suffering massive looses. We have also taken there capital and great victory that was for 2 reasons:

The first one was that by taking there capital they are that much closer to surrendering, and the second one is that by taking the capital we also captured there port allowing us to transport a greater number of supplies to our troops, something that can only be considered a godsend since some of our forces were already starting to suffer from supply related problems.






We still have allot to do, but as the leader of this great country I know that a bright future awaits us. Germany has smashed western Europe! Japan is destroying the English in far east Asia! And the United States are making a slow but a constant alignment towards the Axis camp!

.........Wait.....i just got a message from one of my generals....

.......It appears that Germany has declared war on the Soviet Union!

How will this effect the future our our great country?

........to be continued!

How is it you have so much supplies? 999999999? Not really necessary. And you have an awful lot of money for not having any energy. You should spend some of that moolah in trade for more energy, and your IC would probably pick up.

Just a thought.
