Chapter 19: (Communist) Party in the USA
Hello, comrades! I would like to, once again, welcome you to the Sarig Yogir, the world's best socialist state!
Now that the Ottomans are neutered and unable to resist us, we take a moment and focus on the western hemisphere.
Colombia is already at war with one of our CNs, so why don't we jump in on the fun?
And now, we're off to destroy Canada.
They've had it too good for too long.
Thanks to our CN holding land in a separate war, we're unable to full annex Colombia right now, but it's fine. It'll be faster to just take everything we hold and hope that they get full annexed by our CNs.
And now it's Brazil's turn to join the Great Commune!
Ah, it looks like the people have elected a successor to the seat of "Supreme Comrade," excellent! He's a bit young, and he just so happens to be out current Supreme Comrade's son, but fear not, the proletariat have selected this child! And who are we to deny the people what they want?
Good news, some of our subjects have seen the light, and have abandoned their false gods! ALL HAIL HORSE GOD!
Canada, Brazil, it was nice to beat you!
Since the vast majority of our FORMER CN's lands give us 0% OE, we're only coring the lands that used to be owned by natives (those lands actually give us OE). I mean, why would we waste resources on coring land that does fine without being cored?
OK, Beta America, you're going down! Freedom isn't free, huh? Well, who needs freedom when you have EQUALITY?!
Ah, another of our communist bastions in Europe have officially melded with our nation! Glory to the Supreme Comrade, glory to Horse Jesus!
Puny Americans cannot stand up to Russia-born Oiratian communist horse worshipers!
Your colonies can't revolt if they don't exist!
I think it's time for a little bit of "Manifest Destiny," and we're destined to directly own Louisiana!
No contest, we're the best.
OK, Colombia, you're going down this time!
One Louisiana down, one to go!
Brilliant, some of the African heathens have seen the light!
Colombia is no more... for now.
Next on the chopping block, Mexico!
NOBODY EXPECTS THE COMMUNIST INQUISITION!
Well, that's a light novel right there! But hey, who are we to turn away generals who wish to further the revolution?
And with that, the last of our helpers has rejoined the motherland. All that remains are our three vassals, Iraq, Persia, and Riga.
Montezuma's not going to get his revenge this day!
Hmmm, Chile looks like it's a bit bigger than it should be. We should fix that.
And, after a good 300 years of peaceful coexistence, it's finally time to put the Ottomans in the ground.
But first, we gotta celebrate our new canal! TOTALLY worth the money we spent!
But really, we're making money hand over fist, with nothing else to spend it on.
More people see the error of their ways, and wish to join the motherland!
And by SOME people, I mean EVERYONE in Chile.
Well, Ottomans, it was a good run. You were almost a threat at one point. But, alas, you weren't, and you will be remembered in the annuls of history as the one that allowed the revolution to succeed!
Alright, it's time to move on California!
And then there were but two vassals. At least Iraq converted all their lands to animist!
Bye, California!
Our Supreme Leader just LOVES Peruvian Puff Peppers, so I believe it's time we give him DIRECT access to the fields.
Pfft, who cares about mountains? With a general like ours, we cut THROUGH mountains, like they were butter!
OK Ming, it's time you give up your mandate!
See, Ming? Was that so hard? I'm glad you kept the mandate warm for us, though!
Now that we've become the Mandated Emperor of China, we can further decrease our core creation cost and time!
Peru, we're glad you decided to join us in full! Just drop off your belongings at the gate, we'll redistribute them right away!
And now, we get an event tied to the EoC. Free mandate is a no brainer, considering the "negatives" we'd have to face.
Meritocracy only affects adviser cost and spy efficiency, iirc. We're SWIMMING in ducats, and who cares about spy efficiency at this point, anyways?
And, I think that's where I'll end this penultimate chapter. The next chapter is going to be the finale, so you better hold on, folks, it's going to be a wild ride!
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
