Chapter Seventeen - Crumbling Like A Biscuit
The radio crackled and squealed.
"Come in... come in soldier", they said into the mic. He turned to Sucharski, "Sir, they must be dead. And the distance is far too far for radio waves."
Sucharski sighed and sat down, the war was lost and he knew it.
Suddenly the radio whirred into life.
"This is Major Bakay speaking, who the hell is this?" it said with a continuous crackle
"This is your commanding officer and the Prime Minister of Poland, Sucharski, what is your status?" Sucharski said standing up.
"We are currently in Russia, making tracks to Budapest, we think there will be no German resistance"
"Forget it, we need to get you guys back to Western Europe. I understand you are in Russia? Go to the very far north to Lennengrad, we will send you a ship as soon as we can to pick you up, copy?"
"Copy, sir"
The division marched all the way to Leningrad, a trek of over 1000 kilometers. But with the Polish Navy disappearing of the radar when the surrender was given, a new ship would have to be produced. Along with that, a small Militia army was being trained.
Romania began mobilizing its armed forces.
The new year had started, and that meant elections. The power of these people was close to 0 with there being no Poland any more.
Despite Germany's very high threat to the country, Bulgaria decided to join the Axis alliance.
Finland mobilized its armed forces, despite having a truce with Russia.
With the Baltic alliance crumbling around them, most of the German army stationed along the east were able to return to the west and help out in France. Because of this, the maginot line was broken and the Germans had successfully gotten through.
Up north, the invasion of Lithuania had just begun and the Lithe's were putting up very little resistance.
Yugoslavia was losing the fight as well. But its not so bad, they could be fighting a double front war if Bulgaria chose to accept the Call of Arms, and they haven't.
Forget everything I just said.
France and Yugoslavia write a new alliance. Hopefully this will change things somehow.
The people of broken Poland donate pots, pans and railings to aid the partisan conflicts. Although this will have minimal effect as there are no partisan conflicts.
Lithuania surrenders to Germany, less then a month after Poland surrendered. Its good to see that the alliance wasn't relying on me.
Germany declares war on Denmark. Denmark joins the Allies, but that won't save them.
Yugoslavia surrenders and Germany creates a puppet state of Croatia soon afterwards, thus making the borders look terrible.
A few days later, Latvia surrenders. Now the Baltic alliance rests on the shoulders of Estonia, a big ask for a small state.
Greece starts mobilizing and Croatia accepts the call of arms from Germany.
Estonia surrenders to Germany, the baltic alliance is finished.
Germany pushes through the Maginot Line like a steak knife through butter. This ease after the Baltic surrender really does show how important Poland was to the allies. Without them, France would have surrendered before 1940.
Europe is messed up.
And did you know that Japan was at war with all of China? Well it is, and its making very, very little progress.

Next (and possibly final) update at dinner time.
Tomorrow, I'm going on holiday to Norway (thankfully nowhere near Oslo) so it would be nice to see Polish Berlin before I go. And before you suggest I can continue this after my holiday, I can't because I've only got 2 days before I go on another holiday in Malaysia. Therefore, I won't be able to continue this until late August.
) so it will be interesting to see what happens. Can you spawn militia in your old territory and take some back?
