Im back from holidays at last, and finally i have prepared nearly 1500 screenshots of a crazy ass idea i posted a while ago:

What if a time travelling neo nazi went back in time with Wikipedia in a computer and handed it to Hitler at '36?

This AAR will be a game to simbolize just that. Germany will be given, through clever save editing, tech teams with 99999 skill, assuring that whatever is researched will be finished in mere days, guaranteeing that the full power of the Reich will meet the technological advances of the future. This can only mean 'fun and insanity' for me, so lets see what happens.

Normal/Aggressive
No IC/Tech Team Takeover
Democracies can start war: nope

Playing as the US (though, if i win it, maybe ill try something impossible like playing as the UK versus God Germany)

Stay tuned for an update!

-note- I will probably do smaller updates of many pictures rather than big updates, to give me a chance to do other things at the computer.

Top AAR, subscribing already.

Danke

You may need to give Germany a lot of money, as they will run out of cash almost instantly with the tech teams having that skill...

Even without the money, 99999 research team skill means that they will research quickly regardless. And once they are powered up to the peak of the Cold War level... well, ill probably die.

LOL i want to see where this is going

Nowhere pretty (or somewhere beautiful, depending on your choice of sides)

Chapter 1: Phobos Anomaly

ScreenSave0_zpsoxjn8yvy.png


America. A great state. A great country. A Great Nation. So many words that start with the letter A. Yet Amazinglypowerful is simply not one of them. Ever since the end of the extremely unpopular Great War, the country has receded into a sense of ease that it simply cannot maintain. Even worse, the last few storms that have ravaged the world in unexpected ways (a massive lighting bolt hitting the Reichstag got through word of mouth extremely quickly) have played a number on many countries' nerves. In spite of this, the US remains a friendly giant. Without much in the way of money or available industry, we must try and prepare ourselves to defend from foreign aggression. A slow process, considering that our military technology has barely advanced out of the 1920's. Much work will need to be done for the future.

ScreenSave3_zpsi7zbsqq7.png


Germany. Through the whim of a single man has it picked itself back up. Recently, many strange reports have surfaced from our fledgling intelligence agency, though most can be considered fantastic: time travel and rockets with the capacity to destroy an entire city. A mere child's imagination is what that is.

ScreenSave8_zps0frjezlj.png


Regardless, a massive reorganization of military nature must be done, even if only as an excuse to 'defend our natural borders against foreign oppression'. With this, the Scrapyard Doctrine is adopted: All existing military vessels will be scrapped, with the purpose of rebuilding our fleet with more modern elements that will allows us defense and freedom of action in the oceans. This doctrine is expanded to the army (the venerable springfield rifles of the war and whatever obsolescent metal monsters remain as well) and airforce (barely composed of fighters and bombers that could get disassembled with a strong breeze). The manpower received from this, approximately 230 thousand men, will be repurposed in a better way.

ScreenSave24_zpsuxehbec8.png


The cabinet of our great nation. It simply demanded a change. By enforcing elements of the constitution that were perhaps written in a much smaller font, changes are made. Ministers get replaced and slowly our peaceminded nation prepares its economy for war; hawk ministers and consitutionalists convince many others to join them, increasing our available industry for future projects.

ScreenSave21_zpsm1fh6n1g.png


If our industrial power were to be fully diverted to a single objective, then no force in the world could resist us. Not speaking as an imperialist or totalitarian, but rather as a 'failsafe' should war occur. The earliest estimates put that, should a war occur on the continent, it would only happen at least in the year 1944 or maybe '45, but no earlier; no country in the european scenario, except perhaps the Soviet Union, has neither the industry or numbers to build a force capable of warfare.

ScreenSave17_zpsu1gvbfhj.png


Despite our need to become a much more active member in the world, the people still firmly believe that neutrality and passiveness is the answer (if they could be reminded of belgian neutrality during the war...), and that the ocean is our barrier to support it. As such, the dissent that grew in the country due to the open stance that was taken in regards to the 1936 Neutrality Act, a denial of it, was expected.

ScreenSave15_zpsv19r9to5.png


With the small industry granted to our necessities and needs, a small yet important industrial plan was enforced; this would allow the country to, should it occur, fight a war on two fronts with no major detriment to both. Again, hypothetically so.

ScreenSave19_zpszhwf2tdw.png


It is however the lack of income that we receive that is slowing down any swift research projects. As a result of this, research teams are getting less money and at later dates, with the corresponding lack of effort from their part to achieve results. The government is wholly unwilling to provide money 'that will most likely show, in the eyes of the world, a false sense of urgency and military buildup'. Not one to discuss the wishes of the people, but perhaps we could build up our military WITHOUT showing it to the world...

ScreenSave22_zps3m1q9ul5.png


Expected, really. There was much tension occuring between the monarchy and the nationalists, one supported by the people and the other by the army. Maybe if the nationalists win we will show the american people the price of passiveness?

ScreenSave42_zps8pudysbl.png


Roosevelt was elected once again. Expected as well considering his unwavering popularity with the masses and the promise of an improved economy still recuperating from the Crash. Yet it was not that he was reelected that bothered us, it was his direct intervention onto the placement of ministers which did. Once again, ministers were removed almost as soon as they reached their new offices, and in one case a minister was denied entry right after receiving his job. The repercussions with the public were felt immediately, and the plan of industrial growth was slowed down to try and appease the populace.

ScreenSave50_zpsxw9m0eqa.png


Not much has happened in the last couple of years. Industry was completed, dissent rose and came down over and over, and eventually the world remains still. Other than a simple show of friendship when we guaranteed canadian territorial integrity, life continues as it has the last year.

Can this quaint lifestyle continue?

Chapter 2: Calm Before the Storm

ScreenSave55_zpsj5sdbuek.png


To the world at large, very little has changed with the passage of time. Of minimal repercussion was the so called 'Alien Panic' that many people experienced thanks to some silly radiophone entertainment show. Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that our population can be afraid of such things, as if they existed in this world. Hah!

ScreenSave57_zpswpsklerr.png


America truly is a place of inner turmoil more than any picture of the Star Spangled could reveal. Germanamerican agents, usually with distant germanic roots under their belt, have tried again and again to sabotage our industrial growth plans, albeit with very little success. We begin to wonder if these fanatical and outright stupid attempts are the results of a direct order or of some other foreign power.

ScreenSave58_zpsoqesbdvf.png


We are not at all distressed by the upheaval of events occuring in the old world in the slightest. I tell ya hwat, it would take some form of supernatural cataclysmic event to ever drag us out of our catatonic sleep. Even though war seems to be on the horizon for the europeans, it might as well happen now rather than later.

ScreenSave59_zps8o4yhqdg.png


Japan and their puppet cronies continue their aggressive expansion plans onto the vast population centers of the Light Blue Empire. Despite our total lack of real information on the war's progress, whatever the result that might come out of this might not be the most pleasant for us. Publically, the japanese invasion is loathed and censored, yet privately the biggest fear is one of what would come to happen if the war amongst eastern titans were to spread further southwards, onto the inviting and resource-rich Dutch Indies.

ScreenSave60_zpso0feudf7.png


Events have forced our hand; a single suicidal rush with an explosive onto the industrial area of Hartford almost toppled the industial centre to the ground, along with the fire that broke off wildly thanks to the action achieved by this germanophile. The public is told that the action was done to accrue for the increased taxes given to private industrial sectors, as to avoid any kind of large scale reprisals from the population onto germanoamerican groups. Our own agents, working hard on foreign countries, are called up to arrive to germany in inconspicuous manners, exploiting loopholes whenever possible (one agent jumped off a privately owned aeroplane and parachuted onto Berlin's Reichstag, catching the curious and shocked views of hundreds of onlookers, before explaining that he lost his 'luggage' on the airplane, which crashed without fatalities onto a nearby street). We immediately begin to look deeper onto the situation developing there. Something is not quite right...

ScreenSave61_zpswrbfrblq.png


Not without a small amount of prevision, we begin to work heavily towards new and inspiring designs that, should the disparate and heavily sporadic reports received from our agents overseas prove to be real, will allow us in the future to fight against any type of strange aircraft the world might see.

ScreenSave64_zpsgs7g5jjm.png


In spite of our titanic industrial complexes and of sporting a population that numbered in the hundred million, in spite of our great spirit and sense of freedom, we can only watch in irrevocable fear as the world tumbles onto the stage of another war, one that has every sign of being perhaps even worse than the last great war. With luck, this war will be a brief one and both the germans and poles, the french and the britons, soviets and italians will recognize the folly of such a foolish move and be brought back from the maw of insanity and hubris.

Though perhaps we all already know the deep seated answer to that question.

ScreenSave68_zpsut7k6kzk.png


Of course we knew.

Chapter 3: Unto the Cruel

ScreenSave69_zpsvnhx1zwd.png


A new war had brewed anew on the old continent. A war that had every sight of finishing even faster than any of the older wars had ever achieved. Perhaps in our hearts we have high hopes of a german victory, as this might lead at long last to a longer lasting peace than to the timebomb ticking away that occured after the Great war. Of far greater concern however was the loss of an important position in Strasbourg, a key line of fortifications part of the french Marginot line, and supposedly the most powerful defensive location in the world. The loss of said location, added to the fact that this attack clearly occured while most of the german army was fighting a perishing polish power, was the real concern. If the germans can take a fortress city with only part of their army, what matter of striking power will their full force bring to bear upon the world?

ScreenSave70_zpsbsxk2xcd.png


While the world watched in awe and fear at european affairs, our eyes remain firmly planted onto our own location. With the turn of events occuring worldwide, we were desperately needed to become a powerful force again, even if not immediately. Two new divisions were raised by the state, fully equipped and trained, as well as giving us greater freedom of action in regards to industrial usage for the growth of the army, yet it was still an infantile amount to raise a full army in a period of five years, as military planners gave.

ScreenSave72_zpsjjppnxaj.png


ScreenSave73_zpsi5jxrn4n.png


With scarce money available to operate and with so many massive gaps in the technological aspect of our armed forces, comprimises and objectives needed to be made with haste: we began to search for better assembly lines for our forces, our navy's future fleet would be properly manned and trained to the highest technological standards and our land and airforces would receive new up-to-date equipment to palliate our lack of experience in the fighting of wars, rusty of nearly 30 years of passiveness.

ScreenSave74_zpscy8s8mdo.png


Regardless of whatever was happening in the european half of the continent, the asiatic half was facing its own fighting, thousands of miles away, and yet it seemed to be somehow connected to one another, with the result either helping one side or the other. As sit stood, the chinese nationalists, in a show of desperation, truced their communist counterparts in an effort to stem the japanese strike. Progress had been slow and cumbersome for the japanese, and chinese forces, despite their lack of modern equipment, continue to resist as best as it is possible. How the future of this sector will play out, remains to be seen.

ScreenSave76_zpszqotkb9x.png


The UK truly remains one of the last bastions of true freedom in the continent, and historically our ties have been not just of mutual aid, but of survival and of brotherhood in blood and combat. Whatever the result of the war over there, our friends across the ocean, with their modest industry and available men for their fleets and army, must endure, and we must help them do so, no matter the cost.

ScreenSave77_zpsa3ppfotm.png


It seemed, even now that Germany was reaching a poweful zenith of strength and unity, that the german people themselves were afraid of a great war brewing once more; many thought that with the objectives achieved, a truce needed to be signed and respected with the west, to allow the full power of the army to strike at their eastern enemies. When the Fuhrer denied any real effort to seek peace, a man, known by newspapers as 'The Saint of Germany' abroad and as 'The Bastard Betrayer' by german newspapers, attempted to kill the Fuhrer with a timed explosive device, yet regrettably the device detonated a mere five minutes too late, destroying the building and killing over 15 close affiliates of the regime. The upcoming time of repression and arrests was hardly giving towards peace talks with any foreign power, it seems.

ScreenSave78_zpsbo11osf6.png


When a great event happens, it is a great time to create your own event and hope it flies under the newspapers. The Soviet Union, the largest country in the world and the second most populated one, had long seen the finnish freedom of action and their independence as an affront to their own affairs, and the war seemed the best opportunity to make sure that this state could dissapear from maps across the world, with a big X scratched across it. The world is slowly devolving onto madness, and there is little to stop this madness from overtaking not just them, but the entire world.

ScreenSave80_zpscq1anfdr.png


We, despite our great passiveness lately, remembered that we were indeed a power within our own right, yet not perhaps in direct power. Our seemingly limitless industry and our wealth of resources could be used to achieve and force others to follow our orders, or at least pressure them. The US-Japanese trade rights, exclusive before between us and Japan, were cancelled as both a means to show our support to chinese fighters, and as a way of weakening japanese influence in the world theatre at large. Though it would take a long time for the scarce resources of the japanese mainland to be drained, without any trade from us or from other power willing to trade, often at exhorbitant prices, the japanese will have no other choice but to slow down their constant fighting, or face being ostrazised by the world.

ScreenSave84_zps80kbbi9g.png


Such trivial events, however, cannot deter from the obvious threat the world now faces...

What I am curious to see is the invasion of what will inevitably be super Fortress Europa, if it can even be done.

Wont happen. I stupidly erased my Darkest Hour folder while updating TRP, and then remembered i had all the screenshots there. SO unfortunately i cant continue it anymore. Sorry fellas.
