Update nr.56
On 8th of July, Soviet bombers and fighters black out the sun over Helsinki.
Hundreds of paratroopers land in Turku and Tampere and thousands of screaming
Red Army soldiers cross the border and run into the Finnish gun fire.
It's time to bring back the lost honour!
Massive destruction and endless enemy hordes stunned the Finns.
On 23rd of July, after 15 days of marching, Soviet soldiers arrive in Helsinki.
The city is deserted, only a small garrison was left behind
to put up a symbolic fight for the capital.
Losing Helsinki meant losing the war. Finland was anexed the very same day.
Hundreds of Finnish soldiers surrendered, but even more continued to fight on their own.
Ungratefull swines.
Here we have the new borders after anexation.
5-8 Finnish divisions went under German controll in the North.
They will be dealth with after i regroup.
Now Soviets faced a new enemy - partisans.
To deal with these criminals i will need to arm thousands of men and deploy them
in important air/naval bases, industrial centers and railroad junctions.
Recruitement began immediately:
Fall of Finland showed the world the might of the Red Army.
Many foreigners didn't know anything about battles in Gdov, Kaluga, Zaporozhye,
but now they became witnesses of the real Soviet power.
Panic began to spread among the allied leaders: What if Soviets liberate
France first? What if they push the Japanese from China? Stalin would not
listen to any allied demands then! Oh, noes!
The decision was made - no more help for the Soviets!
China proved to be an outcast too.
The fat cats in Washington are afraid that an united China
could prove to be a rival both in economics and military.
So they decide, that few more years of suffering and destruction
in China will guarantee future prosperity in USA.
But if Chinese survive this war, the friendly Soviet nations
will certainly help them rebuild and recover.
