Cold War: 1945 (REBOOT)

[The Omen of Death]

October 1st 1945

The smoke and ashes of war settle down as WWII ended 1 month ago, the victorious allies now occupy Germany and the other defeated former Axis powers, the crimes of their leaders to be held in due time... The world now finds itself more united with the establishment of the UN coming with its charter about to come into affect, with it being voted to possibly be headed in San Francisco, but now a new threat looms, the divide between Communism and Capitalism, Free-World and that of dictatorship threatens to split the former Allied Powers, and with one war at its close comes a new war, not one currently hailed by more bloodshed by the great powers of the world, but a cold one where smaller wars and policy threaten to bring 3rd World War... Or possible nuclear annihilation...

(Alright lets get this party started!)

United States​

​

Domestic:​

A] Japanese-Americans are freed from the United States' internment camps by presidential decree and given appropriate compensation for their wrongful extended imprisonment. Those who have under duress regretfully renounced their citizenship and are either in the process of reparation or have been repatriated to Japan already are allowed to reverse their decision and themselves receive due compensation.

B] A new immigration program is put into action by President Harry S. Truman that offers prospective immigrants to the United States free passage to the country and a maximum of one month unemployment benefits to all those willing to attend english and citizenship classes for the duration of their unemployment.

C] The Central Intelligence Agency is formed. Throughly screening and inducting tens of thousands of applicants, a thousand agents are initially employed by the new organization.

Economic:​

A] Fifty billion dollars of the treasury are earmarked for the rapid expansion and modernization of America's infrastructure in a bold move expected to lead to the creation of jobs and increased investor confidence. Expected to end by 1950.

B] Fifty billion dollars of the treasury are set aside for a radical state-run industrialization effort. Wherein across the nation prospective locations for industrial development will be chosen, purchased, built factories upon, and finally operated by the government until they break even, the month of which they are to be sold on the free market to the highest domestic bidder. The program is set to reach completion by 1950.

C] The top federal tax rates of the country are currently as follows: 94% of regular income, 25% of capital gains, and 40% of corporate profits. Being no longer necessary to pay for the war effort, these top federal tax rates are to be progressively lowered by 1950 respectively to 5% of regular income, 5% of capital gains, and 5% of corporate profits.

D] The federal government introduces a nationwide zero interest rate policy that is to terminate in 1950. With the interest rate now the lowest it has ever been, in actuality nonexistent, there is no longer any monetary incentive for individuals and companies to save rather than spend and invest earned cash.

E] With the accelerated return of millions of young men from their overseas deployments, numerous G.I. benefits (including dedicated payments of tuition and living expenses to attend high school, college vocational/technical schools low-cost mortgages, low-interest loans to start a business, as well as one year of unemployment compensation) carried inside their toolkits to success, growth of the economy is expected to soon reach an all time high.

F] Rationing of consumer goods is systematically and intelligently eliminated by the end of 1945 in order to help propel America into a new golden age.

G] Taxes on foreign capital are eliminated as to encourage the companies and countries of the international community into making economic investments in the United States.

H] Ten billion dollars from the treasury are used to finance a guaranteed credit policy program to close by the year 1950. Domestic entrepreneurs, regardless of financial past or personal background, if capable of bringing a sound and detailed business plan before the federal government and if willing for their business activities to be rigidly overseen by public officials with the power to reclaim remaining funds and sue for the rest from their charges upon failure of the launched ventures so long as a debt is owed, may receive loans of no greater than one million dollars.

Military:​

A] The United States Military returns home as quickly and efficiently as possible in an unprecedented and radical demobilization effort popular with the masses yet of infuriating concern to the nation's top military officers, in particular, the famed General Douglas MacArthur.

• The United States Army's personnel is reduced from 8,266,373 to 111,382 members.
• The United States Navy's personnel is reduced from 3,319,586 to 206,621 members.
• The United States Marine Corps' personnel is reduced from 469,925 to 17,440 members.

B] Conscription is ended and the U.S. Military once more becomes an elite all-volunteer force as soldiers return to their towns and families.

C] A number of military branches are renamed or created as follows: The United States Marine Corps is shortened to the United States Marines, the United States Flyers is formed and assumes operations of the aircraft once used by the United States Army and United States Navy, and, finally, the President authorizes the assembly of an elite and well-equipped special forces unit to be known as the United States Raiders.

• The United States Flyers inherits 123,362 pilots, mechanics, and other air force related personnel from the related branches of the United States Army and the United States Navy.
• The United States Raiders is enlarged in size after a selective training process of several thousand promising candidates to a force 673 men strong.

D] An order for a hundred P-80 jet fighters is placed by the U.S. Military.

E] An order for twenty B-36 stategic bombers is placed by the U.S. Military.

F] Four battleships, ten cruisers, eighty destroyers, seven aircraft carriers, and fifteen submarines of the U.S. Navy are dispatched to Asia to conduct freedom of navigation exercises in areas forbidden to it and any other vessels by the Soviet Union's Red Fleet.

Foreign:​

A] President Harry S. Truman declares a hastened American demobilization effort to the international community following the conclusion of WWII.

• U.S. government officials engage in talks with the British and French to hasten the unification of Western Germany and accelerate the withdraw of the military forces of the victorious allies from the region, preferably by the end of the year of 1945.
• The responsibility of administrating South Korea is handed over to the new Japanese government.
• The Home Islands of the defeated Japanese Empire are abandoned by their invaders; left to fend for it's own devices by the passing of 1945 in the wake of the horrible atomic destruction wrought at the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
• American forces are ordered to cast aside their role as policemen of the Philippines in order to return to the United States.

B] The Marshall Plan, an American initiative to aid Western Europe with thirteen billion dollars in monetary support to help rebuild the region's economies in the aftermath of WWII, is defeated in Congress by a last minute intervention by the President who maintains that the taxes of his constituents would be better spent domestically rather than internationally.

C] In San Francisco the United States prepares to host the drafting of the United Nations Charter but begins to deny the possibility of contributing a single cent in funding to the organization.

D] The United States attends the emergency United Nations meeting in the United Kingdom. Upon it's end, President Harry S. Truman urges the Soviet Union to honor the conclusion of the vote held by withdrawing the Red Fleet from Asia.

E] All German prisoners of war and German war criminals within the United States' possession are overturned to the Western German occupation zone on conditions.

F] The Republic of China's Dr. H.H. Kung is warmly received in the capital of the United States and receives the loan of two hundred million dollars requested by the Republic of China in return for future confidential services.

TURN 1
Democratic Federal Yugoslavia

Domestic:

As according to the Tito–Šubašić Agreements, democratic elections to see what Yugoslavia's post war government will become, will be underway, and will be set for November, 11th, 1945. Britain is currently overseeing the elections as from earlier pushing's from Churchill in a described, "on hand but hands off" approach. Who is also giving full legitimacy, and international recognition to it and whatever result comes out. This is also due in part to the fact that King Peter II had recognized Tito's Partisans as the legitimate liberation force, and taking away any legitimate covering from the Chetniks due to their collaboration with the former Axis.

The current government is consisted as follows, King Peter II in terms of the agreement established a Regency Council to work with the National Committee for the Liberation of Yugoslavia (NKOJ) for the provisional government of the temporarily named Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, all pre-war parties were restablished. With the Temporary National Assembly legislature being run by the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ) which included several dozen members of the assembly elected in 1938. Lastly, the areas were divided into 6 Federal States, the Federal State of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FS Bosnia and Herzegovina), Federal State of Croatia (FS Croatia), Federal State of Macedonia (FS Macedonia), Federal State of Montenegro (FS Montenegro), Federal State of Serbia (FS Serbia) (includes Kosovo and Vojvodina who will be gaining a small level of autonomy within the state), and Federal State of Slovenia (FS Slovenia).

And currently in the Democratic vote, the coalition of parties backing the Partisans the People's Front (NOF) previously known as the People's Liberation Front (JNOF) lead by Josip Broz Tito's Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) looks to be the front-runner in this election. Due to their successes in the liberation of Yugoslavia. It is stated that the election will be conducted by secret ballot.

Also in terms of the coming election, a law dealing with the voting lists of 10 August 1945 specified that "members of the military formations of the Occupiers and their native accomplices, and those who continuously and actively fought against the Liberation Army of Yugoslavia and/or against the Royal Yugoslav Army or against the armies of the confederates of Yugoslavia" are all denied the active right to vote comes into effect right around now.

Similarly moreover, the existence of these resolutions are confirmed in the establishment status of the autonomous area Vojvodina, which was created by decree of the presidency of the Serbian representative government where a guarantee was made in article 4 "to all nationalities the full equal rights as a citizen of Serbia with exception of the German nationality" also comes into effect.

Lastly, in terms of the German's still residing in Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito orders all Partisan forces to put an end to the practice of killing German's in the country, however, this also comes with the fact that all German assets in the country will be seized and for reparations instead of killing more, will make use of labor camps for them, which will last until March of 1948, which will come into affect shortly. Afterwards he says German's will have the right to emigrate to Soviet-held Germany.

With the Chetnik problem still a foot, the Yugoslav Secret Police, the Department for People's Protection (OZNA) and the Yugoslav Army, continue to work to root out and eliminate the Chetniks who were quite against Slavic unity and were for a Greater Serbia, and had committed many war crimes and whatnot against Bosnians and other's.

Economic:

Money is being funneled to the creation of the labor camps.

As the government is still in a precarious situation, not too much else is going on. However once elections are completed things are expected to truly pick up.

Military:

Military is progressively being demilitarized, however some are remaining either because they wish too, or in the regard of the need to eliminate the Chetniks. Not much else is currently going on.

Foreign Affairs:

Again considering the government is in a precarious state, not much is being done here, however Yugoslavia will be able to once it's sorted out.

Soviet Union

Domestic:
Jophef Stalin, the nations leader is in poor health, it has been determined that he has three months to live, soldiers of the Red Army, along with armored cars, tanks, and various other military equipment are marched around Moscow in honor of him. A new leader is to be elected by the CPSU.
-Now that the war is over, 2 million of the Red Army ground troops are relieved of their duties and now contribute to the production and running of soviet industry, which is expected to help increase production and economic growth.
-A big industrial overhaul is planned. The industrial plan is to change the way consumer and industrial goods have been split, and includes a wage plan for soviet nations. The plan splits goods produced into a three way system, 50% of all goods produced go directly to the government, 30% of goods can be sold by the government to the people, and 20% of goods will go on the market for foreign nations to buy and trade for. The way the wage system works, is as all jobs are owned by the government, the government will decide wages for each job, which the people then can spend on extra consumer goods (hence, the 30% put on government market). This allows the people a wage, but because the government decides the wages,allows the government to prioritize sectors of production by highering and loweeing wages. With the addition of wages, a tax of 60% is added, and collected each year (considering beforehand the citizens didnr earn any wage, this isnt expected toupset citizens). This plan is expected to raise the economy, heighten production, and help balance out the wealth gap between the richest and poorest, gradually each year. It is also expected to raise citizen morale, nationalism, and happiness by a large amount by next year alone.
-the Soviet Union and communist allies are spread far out, and to help with both supply and transport, a large system ofrailroads are to be built. First, the system would start in Moscow, and the railroads would all lead back to Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad (along with those three cities conmecting to each other). The main railways branching from the three cities are first set to be constructed in the capital cities of the socialist republics in europe (including Berlin), including Yugoslavia withpermission (also to note, smaller railways will span from the 3 main Soviet cities, plus the capitals of all the socialist republics, but these would lead to their perspective cities, capitals, ect, and not directly back to the main city). The socialist republics in europe will be expect to help pay for this endavour (Yugoslavia will also help fund, with permissiom of course). This first part is predicted to take 2 years to complete.
-Sciences will be focused on health and medicine, to help with the Soviet Unions population overall health and population growth gradually as a result.
-propaganda across the Union is still being produced, detailing the "glorious Soviet victory against the Nazis of Germany"


Economic:
The spending plan goes as followed
Industrial: 40% of the budget
Sciences and research: 20%
Military growth: 20%
Other: 10%
Things not mentioned: final 10%


Military:

Despite the end to the second world war, wars are still happening, like the chinese civil war.
A fleet of Russian navy ships, 2 battleships, 5 cruisers, and 40 destroyers currently patrol the Japanese and chinese sea, the Soviet Union has called an official support blockade, no outside forces will be allowed to interfere with the chinese civil war, any ships or aircrafts that attemot to get by will be a declaration of war on the Soviet Union.
Foreign Affairs:
Private confidential funding (falls under other in economical split)
A request is sent to the leaders of Yugoslavia, detailing the operation regarding the railroads, and asking they participate in allowing the construction and helping fund.
A request is sent to Yugoslavia regarding Operation Blackhand.

Private operations:
Operation Canned Tomatoes

United Kingdom Occupation Zone - West Germany

Domestic and Economic

​

A) Germany is a complete mess, whilst the allied occupation zones are far better than the Soviet zone significant work must still be done, to that end Field Marshal Montgomery diverts troops from their normal task of doing...well nothing to aid the construction efforts all over Germany. He also sends multiple requests back home to Britain for financial aid making it clear to Prime Minister Attee that if Germany is to survive then it must be rebuilt.

B) German prisoners of war are to be immediately reformed into a reserve army under the command of Marshal Montgomery, these troops will aid the British whilst there and are in the Marshals eyes the precursor to a proper West German military. Controversy erupts however when Montgomery without the permission of the British releases and appoints General Johannes Blaskowitz a Nazi General as his Deputy and head if this German reserve army.

3) Furthermore Montgomery releases Großadmiral Karl Dönitz the last President of Germany and former leader of the Kriegsmarine from his confines intending this to be an olive branch sign to the people of Germany. Dönitz goes in radio to the peope instructing them to aid the allied occupiers in their rebuilding efforts for the good of Germany. When asked why he released the Admiral Montgomery simply replies "Because he is a damn fine solider"

4) In an effort to keep all options open a detailed plan is sent back to the home Isles showing possible solutions if the Soviets were too close all rail access to West Berlin, the best amongst these appears to be a massive international air drop of supplies by allied fores, to that end it is also recommended that the nations of France, Belgium and the Netherlands are consulted in this matter as well.

5) For order to be established the zone is divided into sections, these sections will hold immediate elections for representatives from the German people who will act as a liason to the British army in that section. It is hoped this will help avoid any unnecessary confrontation or lack of cultural understanding. Former German police officers are also restored their jobs with a court system being set up in the zone.

Foreign Affairs
​

1) A recommendation is made to the French, British and American governments by the Marshal that these powers should withdraw from West Germany as quickly as they can giving the German people a nation and right to self determination. He recommends they leave by the end of the year as too avoid further conflicts between soldiers and civilians.

2) Another recommendation is sent to the Soviets as well as the allies, it says that Wehrmacht prisoners of war should be handed over to a new West German government when one is in place and that it should be them in proper German courts that decide the fate of the Nazi leadership.

3) A final plea is sent out to the world requesting financial aid from any nation that spare a penny, this plea tells the world that unless Germany is rebuilt a mass exodus of German citizens shall take place and the German mainland will turn into an abandoned wasteland in the middle of Europe.

THE CRISIS IN THE CHINA SEA IS HOPEFULLY PUT TO A CONCLUSION AS THE UN VOTES ON A SOLUTION. THE USSR STATED INTERESTINGLY THAT THEY FOUND THE COMMUNIST REBELS LED BY MAO ZEDONG ACTIONS 'ABHORRENT' AND THAT THEY WISHED FOR NO MORE FOREIGN INTERVENTION IN THE CONFLICT, THEM PROPOSING THAT THEY STICK BY WHAT OCCURRED, HOWEVER THIS WAS DEFEATED BY Yes: 13 No: 33 Abstain: 2. WHICH MEANS THAT THE RED FLEET IS TO PULL AWAY FROM CHINA'S WATERS AND EVERYTHING IS TO RETURN TO STATUS QUO. THE MAIN ENEMY TO THIS PROPOSAL WAS THE USA WHO SUSPECTED ULTERIOR MOTIVES. THIS BEING BEFORE THE CHARTER WAS OFFICIATED AS IT WAS A GRAVE PROBLEM THAT WAS POSSIBLY ONLY MINUTES AWAY FROM IGNITING YET ANOTHER CONFLICT ONLY A MONTH AFTER WWII!


NUREMBERG TRIALS

AFTER THE DEPLORABLE ACTIONS OF THE NAZI'S DURING WWII HAD COME TO LIGHT, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND THE VICTORIOUS ALLIES HAVE JUST PUT MANY HIGH RANKING NAZI OFFICIALS ON TRIAL, THOSE INVOLVED IN THE HORRIBLE ATROCITIES COMMITTED AGAINST JEWS AND OTHER PEOPLE, HAVE LEAD TO LIFE IN PRISON OR EXECUTION FOR MANY. OTHER NATIONS HAVE EMBARKED ON SIMILAR THINGS FOR CONSPIRATORS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES.


YUGOSLAV ELECTION RESULTS!

Yugoslavia has now conducted their election. However, while the elections themselves were fairly conducted by a secret ballot, the campaign that preceded them was highly irregular. According to some alleged reports Opposition newspapers were banned on more than one occasion, and in Serbia the opposition leaders such as Milan Grol received threats via the press. The opposition withdrew from the election in protest to the hostile atmosphere and this situation caused the three royalist representatives, Grol-Subasic-Juraj Sutej, to secede from the provisional government. Indeed, voting was on a single list of People's Front candidates with provision for opposition votes to be cast in separate voting boxes. The election results of 11 November 1945 were decisively in favor of the former, with an average of 85% of voters of each federal state casting their ballot for the People's Front. Showing that even with a perceived hostile environment people still found the victorious Partisans led by Josip Broz Tito to be the person to represent them. As a result shortly afterwards on 29 November the Constituent Assembly of Yugoslavia the Constituent Assembly of Yugoslavia formally abolished the monarchy and declared the state a republic. The country's official name became the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FPR Yugoslavia, FPRY), and the six "Federal States" are now "People's Republics" Yugoslavia also has become a one-party state. Prime Minister Josip Broz Tito made in a statement. "It is truly great to see all of our people come together as one, after the eviction of the Nazi's and other Fascists from our country, to see the fall of a regime that put Serbs ahead of everyone else, now we shall start a new era of equality and camaraderie in our multi-ethnic nation. We must remember we are all Slavs here, we are all brothers and sisters united as one, we must remember that we were given an opportunity to make amends for all of our grievances in the past, we will now pave a new wave amongst our great nation and our people... One of Brotherhood and Unity! We may have a broken nation and infrastructure, but together as one, we will work together to help out our fellow Slavs and other's who reside in our country, to rebuild it. And make it better than ever before! But we can't do this unless we stick together, divided we are nothing, but united we are strong!" Being an excerpt from the speech calling for reform and hopefully a new great era for the country. Britain as it stated before has internationally recognized the new Federal People's Republic, as well as many other nations.

Turn 1
The British Mandate of Palestine

Domestic: We are tired from the mandate; The Jews with their Irgun and the Lehi, the Palestinians with their insurgence and rise of Arab nationalism, and the worst part is that back home the people are tired, too.

Still... We must remain calm, and fight on. Until we are called home, we must fight!

- The bounty on the Lehi heads is increased in size; None shall escape the wrath of the British, tired or not. However, We shall still negotiate for any man who was kidnapped. Curfew and interrogations shall remain in place.

- Haj Amin al-Husseini's assasianation plan was almost done, but prominent Jewish figures begged to leave him alive, to our surprise. The reason? To not create a martyr. The point was good enough for us to halt the plan, although we shall leave it as a backup plan.

- The Kibbutzim are under our surveillance. They are not illegal, but after "Wall and Tower" program, we are skeptical about how much we want them to continue.

- Ship after ship, the Jewish refugees who are past the quota have to be deported back to where they came for, or to the Detention center in Cyprus. We know the time was dire, but the Jews are still members of their homeland.

Yet we decide to, out of sheer spite for those who dropped us here, to pull a middle finger on the rules. This land is fertile, and the Jews will be killed in their homelands. Thus, we pull a blind eye to illegal ships. Cunningham would be ready to sit in a prison for this, for life were at the stake.

And this, my friends, will be a mistake that could cost him everything if executed wrong; The Haganna was in his pocket and the Lehi would remain silent, yet the Arabs would get furious for sure if they found out the British has turned a blind eye deliberately. But to the untrained eye, it could be looked at as if it was a bureaucratic nightmare to handle all of this. So while not all refugees could return home, a lot more than expected did. Aliyah Daled is in progress, too, and fake certificates are being printed under the blind eye of the few locals in the plan along with the blind eye policy


Economic: The exporting of Fruits is at peak. Crates of Tinned fruits and Citrus would be sent every day to England, and in return the area would prosper. However, the place is specialized for agriculture, and has little to offer in matters of other economy for now.


Military: None to expect. The police does everything it can, and military personals are counted by the hundreds.


Foreign Affairs: Under the protection of the British, the Mandate has little to do with politics for now.

Korean nationalists are on the rise as Korea wants independence as they did not wish to stay under a regime that had oppressed them for so long, with Japan in a state of weakness the conditions were ripe for something that could turn into a revolution.

Chaos under the Land of the Rising Sun?
With American troops leaving the Japanese home islands as well, Japan is left in a state that could descend into chaos, as the direction the country will go in, wasn't truly outlined, unless something is done the countries various factions that are divided could fall into chaos.

Philippine Road to Independence.
The Philippine's are contempt with the decision, the Commonwealth is still prepared for its independence as was guaranteed by the Philippine Independence Act also known as the Tudings-McDuffie Act signed in 1934, which will be bestowed on July 4th 1946.

No aid for Western Europe?
With the end of the Marshall Plan, much to the dismay of the Western European powers and other nations that were supposed to receive aid from the program, this is a big loss to many war stricken countries, and long term effects are yet to be realized. Much of the funds are diverted to secret American projects.

A poorly funded UN
Considering the US refuses to fund the UN at all, the UN is looking to become a poorly funded organization, as many nations can barely afford to spend money on such, when the US was originally expected to do so.

Prisoners sent to Germany
This goes as planned.

Sino-American Deal
I need to see what this deal entails ( Pat Jabroni )


Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia

Domestic:

Election Results stated in important news. More info about the new government will be stated in next turn for Yugoslavia.

Labor camps for Germans are created and are working to rebuild the economy much to the resentment of Germans in the country.

Chetnik forces are being forcefully eliminated as they are hounded by the Yugoslav army and OZNA, however their leader remains elusive. The pursuit of them is a popular idea among the other ethnic Slavs as they are for a Greater Serbia.

Economic:

Enough funding is given to the labor camps

Nothing else is done, however with the new government economic activity is bound to occur.

Military:

Military is being progressively demobilized however the number is expected to remain high as conscription is enacted and the Chetnik problem remains, war fatigue makes this unpopular

Foreign Affairs:

Nothing happens in foreign affairs aside from being recognized by various countries.

Soviet Union

Domestic:

With Joseph Stalin now dead and after all the veiled unity with the parades and salutes, the top heads in the country are now bickering over who is to take power next however it appears their may be a leader who comes out of it.

2 million troops are demobilized and put into the industrial work force, increasing some growth in a situation where having everyone brought back would've caused great unemployment, however many of the Soviet troops many of whom were conscripted demand to be allowed to be relieved of their duty, as most did not want to sign up anyway.

The idea of the wage plan seems to be popular among the people, and this begins to cause an increase in some consumerism, for now the people are contempt. However there is still some corruption involved among the high communist officials in this endeavor as they don't seem to be the most willing to help the people decreasing how effective it could actually be in time.

The idea of the railroad across the Socialist Republics is a great plan that allows for many jobs to be created to do so, however with many of the other Soviet Satellites the war torn countries have little funds to devote to the project, however it does help with unemployment in those countries too, Yugoslavia under their new government decides they will join the project, however they apologize for not having a lot of funds to devote to it, for the project to be truly effective the Soviets will need to provide aid to their satellites and it's ally Yugoslavia.

Science research is shifted, other scientific endeavors will move a bit slower as the government shifts its concern a bit to the people.

Propaganda is raising people's spirits however most have grown tired of it. As it was a very devastating as the Great Patriotic War made a lot of people suffer.

Economy:

Economic plan is put in place.

Military:

With the UN resolution, USSR was ordered to pull it's navy away, the USSR's response is needed for the 2nd turn.

Foreign Affairs:

Yugoslavia agrees to both plans

Secret Operations:
Will PM you details on what happens

Poland

Domestic:

Reconstruction efforts in all areas go underway causing many to jump in on it in the face of unemployment. However due to distrust of the communists and Soviets these are only yielding mixed results. As many people are also mad for the Soviet atrocities committed against them.

Military:

Recruitment and training are done, however not a lot decide to join up.

Germans are upset over the discrimination faced.

Foreign Affairs:

These go as planned.

UK German Occupation Zone

Domestic:

Using the troops to help rebuild is a bit unpopular, but the soldiers begrudgingly assist.

Considering it is so shortly after WWII this ends up being more unpopular, the situation seems a bit tense, however they seem to be cooperating. However in regards to Johannes Blaskowitz the British High Command order Montgomery to immediately return him back to custody.

Montgomery's plan of airdropping of aid considering if railroads were cut off, is considered, however all the countries involved wouldn't have a lot to give considering the damage sustained, and lack of Marshall Plan aid funding.

Referendum's and voting are being set up, The British decide to allow this to occur to watch this experiment play out and see how the German people in their zone fall in self-determination.

Foreign Affairs:

For West German sovereignty issue look back to USA Foreign Affairs.

This request is denied, as some countries wish to try war criminals in their own manners, and feel that German courts would currently be biased.

With little aid and funding going around in countries that could have considered aiding the occupation zones, very little aid goes to the occupation zone. Which could cause long term problems.

Nationalist China

Domestic:

Burning flag ceremonies keep Anti-Japanese sentiment high.

Even with the propaganda the citizens still retain most of their resentment for the government.

All appointments go as planned but are unpopular as its basically giving power to one's sons and not selecting competent members based on skill.

Military:

Troops are mobilized to specified areas.

Order 207 is enacted

Surrenders and acceptance of them go as planned.

Execution of prisoners without trial goes as planned.

Some public trust is gained through what is done, at the cost of the turncoats opinion and other Japanese. However due to the great amount of distrust and dislike already, it helps only slightly, maybe it might be the start of the reversal of opinion in favor of the Nationalists.

Economic:

Fabi remains national currency however due to being hyper inflated due to the war this is unpopular

The people appreciate not having their bullion of gold and silver seized, long term affects of this gold customs note is to be seen.

The economic bill should assist in turning back the hyper inflation wreaking havoc on the economy and people.

(Need to see details of deal between US and China)

While the people truly appreciate having the opportunity to get land, little to no one is signing up due to Soviet troops occupying specified areas.

British Mandate of Palestine

Domestic:

The raising of bounties on Lehi members, is causing more Arabs and Palestinians to go after Jews to root out more members or just Jews in general. Which is in turn increasing all ready boiling tensions.

Assassination of Amin al-Husseini is called off.

Kibbutzim is now under surveillance.

The Turning a Blind eye policy currently is going without a hitch, however the threat of something going wrong constantly looms and the expected consequences could occur should it be found out.

Economic:

Comparatively the people in Palestine still earned more than other places for both Jews and Arabs, however Jews still remain the most prosperous, however with no Marshall Plan, less monetary support can be sent to this region.

Military:

United States

​

Domestic:​

A] The Supreme Court rules that the right to bear arms is not the right of the individual, but the right of a well-regulated militia.

• Firearm and ammunition sales, in addition to gun mantainence services, are immediately prohibited to private citizens; the industries and stores relying on such as a source of income are on a voluntary basis bought by the government at generous prices or appropriately compensated for the loss in expected revenue until the end of 1947.
• Arms industry workers impacted by the ruling receive at maximum of a month of unemployment benefits if laid off or fired as a direct result.
• The U.S. government offers to on a case-by-case basis purchase ammunition and firearms from citizens at either double their current value, or double their original price, whichever cheapest.

B] President Harry S. Truman offers his sincerest condolences to the relations of the U.S. Army servicemen who have died in South Korea due to his misjudgment and the cowardly aggression of the country's native nationalist militias.

• Known heads, captains, and other high ranking leaders of the Mafia pending causation are interrogated, tried, and incarcerated by the federal government.
• Assets of the Mafia across the United States are seized; businessmen and employees found to have been coerced into association with the Mafia are given where appropriate proper compensation.

Economic:​

A] President Harry S. Truman announces the acceleration of war bond maturities to the masses so that they may drive further growth of the economy through consumer spending. Starting now government officials will work to redeem the entirety of the war bonds it has issued during WWII, a task expected to reach completion by 1947. Citizens are (re)informed and encouraged of redeeming their reward for their contribution to the war effort through a variety of mediums.

B] Price controls on all consumer goods are systematically and intelligently eliminated during the rest of the year until the coming of 1947.

C] Tariffs and quotas on foreign goods are systematically and intelligently eliminated during the rest of the year until the coming of 1947.

Military:​

A] The Republic of China is given schematics, loaned equipment, and offered martial and mechanical instruction from the U.S. Army. In addition, the Netherlands is loaned equipment.

B] A few thousand soldiers are dispatched to the newly purchased lands bought from old world powers within the Americas to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power takes place.

C] The National Guard and Coast Guard are consolidated and progressively reformed into the Minutemen, a centralized state-run militia and emergency disaster relief force.

• Armories to be filled with basic infantry equipment and supplies are created or expanded within the population centers of the United States.
• Returning veterans, purposeless teenagers, and transitioning working housewives, every able-bodied American citizen with free time on their hands are offered payment and benefits from the government if they enlist with the Minutemen and attend a variety of training sessions; from shooting classes, to spotting domestic criminals and foreign agents, and even lessons in the giving of first aid.

Foreign:​

A] M1919 and M2 Browning schematics are given to the Republic of China for it's own usage, in addition to a lend lease of anti aircraft guns and tanks, the terms dictating that should any be destroyed, they are to be paid for or replaced. Finally, a large group of one thousand Americans, comprised of military advisors and experienced mechanics, will travel to the embattled nation to provide instructional expertise in their respective fields so that the conflict may come to an end.

B] Delegations of U.S. officials are dispatched to the British, French, Dutch, and Danish governments with the power, money, and intent of purchasing their remaining possessions, colonies, and territories, respectively, within the Americas. If successful, they are to become the responsibility of the United States, are granted the status of territories, and their inhabitants given citizenship and the numerous privileges afforded to such if they decide to remain rather than departing. All to occur over the period of a year, until 1947.

•
• The French agree to sell all of their land within the New World and receive $100,518,000 as payment. The responsibility for the sale of private property if it's citizens decide not to stay and become American citizens is their own, however, as a conciliatory measure, the U.S. pays out of it's own pocket for boat tickets to France for individuals who declare their desire for means of passage.
• The Dutch agree to sell all of their land within the New World and receive $430,000,000 as payment, included within said payment an adequate sum as to purchase the private property of their citizens within the New World and pay for their boat tickets to the Netherlands, if willing to leave.
•

C] The United States supports the Netherlands' claim over Indonesia, recognizing them as the legitimate rulers of the region. To support their retaking of the rebellious colony, a lend lease of infantry equipment is given to the Dutch. If any is destroyed and cannot be returned, it is to be paid for or replaced by the Netherlands.

D] One after another, the United States renounces it's political obligations, stated guarantees of independence, and treaties offering military aid for nations outside of the Americas prior to the fateful day of October 1st, 1945.

E] During WWII, the region of Central America and the states of the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Venezuela, have become dependent on the United States for trade. In addition, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, and Bolivia, have modernized their militaries through American aid. These two truths in conjunction with the generally cordial foreign relations the United States enjoys with the nations of Latin America, have led government officials to propose the creation of an exclusionary trade bloc headed by the United States that with the notable exception of Canada and remaining foreign possessions within it's sphere of influence will, if all countries within the Americas who are invited accept, comprise and consist of the entirety of the nations of the New World. Membership in the economic bloc, unless a nation is dismissed by the United States, will be permanent.

• With the exception of the United States, all members of the trade bloc will be required to both cease trade with nonmembers at once and to work towards either the voluntary nationalization or the transfer of control of foreign investments to fellow members of the economic pact by 1956.
• While not required itself to cease trade ties nor to work to reduce it's investments in nonmember states, the United States indicates that within the Americas it will likely cut off economic relations with countries that decide to refuse it's invitation.
• Members of the trade bloc upon joining will be compensated for their expected revenue in lost trade and are given free passage through the Panama Canal by the United States for a decade until the beginning of the year of 1956.
• Members of the trade bloc will be obligated to help draft what is to be commonly shared industrial regulations and worker rights, to be seriously debated on five years in the future within San Francisco, in 1951.
• The United States offers three hundred million dollars each in financial aid to the nations of Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, and Cuba, if said countries are leaning towards refusal of their invitations to the economic bloc.
• The United States offers two hundred million dollars each in financial aid to the nations of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, and the Dominican Republic, if said countries are leaning towards refusal of their invitations to the economic bloc.
• The United States offers one hundred million dollars each in financial aid to the nations of Central America, Paraguay, Ecuador, and Haiti, if said countries are leaning towards refusal of their invitations to the economic bloc.

F] Switzerland's decision to fund the creation of large-scale fallout shelters to defend it's citizens against the nonexistent threat of an atomic attack by the United States leads to widespread incredulity and even condemnation by America's elected officials. Astonishment and outcries only worsened by the so-called 'peace loving' nation's expansion of their native military-industrial complex, enlargement of it's air force, sudden creation of an intelligence service, and, worse of all, it's suspicious undefined purpose in pursuing atomic research.

The Mandate of Palestine, Turn 2​

Domestic:

• As Arab and Jewish terror are still on the rise (With Cunningham a bit shocked that the Lehi didn't even slow down after his favor), the Mandate calls for the British to help them with more policemen and soldiers. There is a severe need of order, and there will be much to do if the Mandate is to hold for even three more years.
• Jamal al-Husayni returned to Palestine and was greeted by the Arabs warmly. However the party was short as he was also seating in the Arab higher committee.
  
• Rallies against deportations are smaller than before, as deportations are kept under lip service right now and are hardly enforced. At the very best, Cunningham's attempts are half-hearted. However, this did lead to Al-Husayni planning on kidnapping officers and returning them only when his requests of enforcing the quotas and completely restricting Jewish immigration are met. Likewise, a bombing in King David Hotel are planned. The planning might take some time, however.
• In the meantime the Irgun and the Lehi had enough of the occupation, and decide on planning a kidnap and the bombing too. It seems that both sides want the same thing and will use the same means, but irony has its ways with people.

Economic: A further invest in Factories and farming is allowed- The Jews are hiring less Arabs and more Jews, The Arabs are buying Tractors, things like that.

Note: Yes, it will remain boring for the first few weeks. Bear in mind, though, that things are about to get more interesting.
