<b>January 1st, 1920.</b><br>
<br>
<b><i>The Meeting of the Parliament</i></b><br>
<br>
Prime Minister Arthur Charles has declared in the House of Parliament and House of Lords that a new era is upon them. The age of machine and man. A heavy emphasis on mechanical warfare will begin. The Arthur Doctrine is created. He said "All overseas colonies and our home island must be defended at all costs. For King and Country!" However, he was met with intense opposition from the Social Liberals that state "War can be avoided. Colonization of the destroyed mainland is a possibility."<br>
<br>
Colonial assets begin to work upon protecting the main access points into the Mediterranean sea. New divisions are being trained comprised of the local populace.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Message sent to the Lanfang Republic</i></b><br>
Mister Ming, we are hoping to expand our relationships together to secure both of our interests in Asia. We'd like to setup an embassy in your capital city.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Message sent to the Kalmar Union</i></b><br>
Mister De Geer, we'd like to start improving our relationship and would appreciate setting up an embassy in your capital.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 22px"><u>Geopolitical Phase</u></span><br>
Round 1 funds = 27<br>
<br>
The parliament has declared a full military expansion. Colonial assets are to be defended at all costs. Colonial expansion into Africa is imminent. The United Kingdom wishes to speak to the Lanfang Republic and the Kalmar Union for possible trade.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon receiving the message from the British Prime Minister Mister Arthur Charles, the three presidents are notified. A meeting is held, at the Parliament complex, in Oslo, between Gerhard Louis De Geer, Otto Bahr Halvorsen, and Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg. The discussions include whether to accept, or reject the prospect of an embassy within one of the three capitals. The decision is made, unanimously, to accept the request, however the presidents debate for hours, on which of the three capitals should be chosen. Soon enough, the choice is made, and a message is sent back to Great Britain.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Message sent to Great Britain</i></b><br>
Prime Minister Arthur Charles, on behalf of the people of the Kalmar Union, we, the three Presidents of the people, would be honored to accept your request for an embassy within our Western Capital City of Oslo. The City is perfect for your manner of trade, as it sits close to your nation, and harbors a bustling port. We hope to see the construction of the embassy with haste.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The streets of Khunthien are bustling with activity: People of all sorts of backgrounds are walking on it's paved streets, some stopping and buying food from the numerous food stalls set up at the roadside. Construction workers busily worked on construction projects that seemed to come out faster than they can be completed. Factories churned out various goods either for the military or the citizen population. Armed guards stood at attention at certain corners of the road, looking out for potential threats. In the city's upper districts, President Zhang took a sip of his coffee as he looked down from the balcony of his home. However, his alone time would be disrupted by an official walking into his room. Displeased that his chain of thought was interrupted, he turned to face the man with a frown on his face. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"What is it?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The official bowed slightly before replying. "Sir, we have received a telegram....from the British"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">Ming raised an eyebrow. "A telegram, from the British? Was it a declaration of war.?" The official shook his head as a response. "Well, that was unexpected.....What did they say?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"They said that they want to secure their interests in Asia, and they want to set up an embassy in Khunthien."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Well, why did I expect something better from the British? Of course they would want to secure their own interests." Ming put down his cup of coffee and sighed. "Anything else?"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The official shook his head again. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"That it?" </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The official nodded for the first time in the entire conversation.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Tell them no"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Sir, what? Doing this might damage our relations with......"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Which is already totally ruined. Let me tell you something, even if you hand it to Liao, he'll say the same, I assure you. Now, would you mind leaving me alone for now? I really don't want to hear about British whining." </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The official bowed once again to the President with a resigned look on his face before leaving the room. With his interruption now gone, Ming sat down and picked up his cup of coffee once again, taking a sip out of his cup before returning to his activities.</span><br>

<div style="text-align: center">The United Kingdom was quickly rebuilding from the economic collapse that had forced the decommission the large majority of the Royal Navy.<br>
<br>
Recently those efforts had increased as Lanfang had recently declined their most generous offer.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 26px"><b><i>Industrial Complexes and Woes</i></b></span><br>
<b><i>Downtown London</i></b><br>
<br>
An office room, located in downtown London was a meager office made for organization of supply for colonial troops across the world. A new colony was to be established after the creation of a small convoy. A colony in what was once the Dominion of Canada. A man, Oswald Winters, had been in the office at the time. Oswald was a peculiar character, never an advocate for imperialism of any sorts. But still worked in the supply manufacturing business. He saw the request form that had came in from the Royal Army.<br>
<br>
<i>Increase production tenfold, more rifles, more artillery, and more mechanized. Royal Army is requesting an order of 5,000 rifles, 250 mechanized equipment, 100 howitzers.</i><br>
<br>
Oswald sighed. An order like that can mean a few things, but he had the idea. They were supplying a new division to be raised.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 26px"><b><i>Crystal Problems</i></b></span><br>
<b><i>Iberian Mines</i></b><br>
<br>
A foreman was sitting in his office room. He was reviewing the production reports of the past week. England wasn't making enough crystals to support this massive expansion. He retrieved a telegram.<br>
<br>
<i>The government is investing to expand the Iberian Mines at Gibraltar. Production is to be increased, and that the mines had to be staffed.</i><br>
<br>
The memo went out shortly after, and the mines were expanded.<br>

A new battleship was commisioned by the Lanfang Navy. Both ships are expected to significantly boost the power of the Lanfang navy.  The Army was also strengthened, with a two new divisions, infantry and tank respectively, being trained in Hainan. The government was adamant in securing power in China, considering it's significance towards the Lanfang Republic. However, the military focus on China has caused some dissent within the Lanfang's citizens, who find the government to be lax in protecting it's heartlands. Protests were held in Khunthien, calling for the government to strengthen Borneo's defenses.</span></span><br>

The Reindeer cavalry, stationed in Norway, to the north of Sweden, make their march southwards, into the territory just south of their location. 2 of the infantry, the reindeer cavalry, and the artillery units, all stationed in Stockholm, make their march westwards, to the province next door. The three presidents stand outside the capital building, in Stockholm, saluting the marching military, as it leaves the city. The hope is to take the south provinces, and the north provinces, at the same time, allowing the units to meet in the middle, eventually.<br>

Upon the dawn of a new Commonwealth, Kazimierz wishes to establish himself on the world stage and begins an effort to send out diplomats to the world's nations. Due to the close proximity of the nations, he authorized a telegram to be sent to the Kalmar Union, Stockholm, with the following message:</span><br>
<i>"Greetings Sir Gerhard, this is Kazimierz of the Commonwealth. With our two budding states, I wish to establish official diplomatic relations in the form of an embassy. It'd be in the best interest of both our nations to cooperate in this dark world due to our proximity and shared usage of the Baltic Sea."</i><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px">A telegram would also be sent to the United Kingdom, with the following message:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 15px"><i>"Greetings Sir Arthur, this is Kazimierz of the Commonwealth. I wish to establish official relations in the form of an embassy within London so that we European states may cooperate and co-exist. Thank you for your time."</i></span><br>

When the final telegram was sent, Kazimierz sets out to begin his aims for a greater Commonwealth. He orders his army in Vilnius to march north to establish control over the Baltic region, most importantly Latvia with the city of Riga. He also orders his army stationed in Danzig to march west to stretch Commonwealth control further down Baltic coastlines.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The troops march westward, and southward, respectively, capturing the lands, successfully. From their current positions, the units start to march into the next few areas. Their journeys take them into the mountains of Sweden, allowing them to view the beautiful scenery. Back in Stockholm, however, just as Mister Otto Bahr Halvorsen, and Mister Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg start packing up to return to their own respective capitals. As he sees the other presidents off, Mister Gerhard Louis De Geer greet a messenger, as he is brought a message from The Commonwealth. He knows the best course of action and sends his own message.<br>
<br>
<b>Message to The Commonwealth</b><br>
<br>
<i>To Mist <i>Kazimierz  of The Commonwealth. My nation would be honored to establish your embassy in our Central Capital of Stockholm. I hope for the construction to conclude with haste.</i></i><br>
<br>
Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg is given a letter, by a messenger, as he arrives at the train station to return to his capital. He reads through it, and smiles a bit.<br>
<br>
<b>Geopolitical Phase </b><br>
Crystals after last turn: 4<br>

<br>
The troops in Sweden continue their marches.<br>

Upon the arrival of the United Kingdom's message of a possible alliance, the Sejm blew up in debate. Although it is not within the Sejm's power to determine foreign diplomacy, they still saw it fit to debate it with the Ruling Houses. The people of the Commonwealth saw great potential, but also great limitations in this alliance. However Anatol Bort, famous Sejm official and popular among the people, saw this as an opportunity to increase the Commonwealth's world standing and establish a fully democratic world. With him the Sejm pressured the Ruling Houses with the people's support. At the end of the debate, Kazimierz sent a telegram to the United Kingdom with the following message:<br>
<i><span style="font-size: 18px">"The people of the Commonwealth have spoken and the leaders have decided. We shall agree to a political and military alliance as long as the United Kingdom vows to respect and recognize Commonwealth claims over Eastern Europe and </span></i><span style="font-size: 18px"><i>abroad. I shall awake your response, Sir Arthur."</i></span><br>
 This was not the only telegram sent by the Commonwealth however. Knowing the possible ramifications of such an alliance, Kazimierz ordered Anatol Bort to send a telegram to the Lanfang Republic. The following message was sent:<br>
<i>"Greetings Zhang Zheng Ming, President of the Lanfang Republic, this is Anatol Bort of the Commonwealth. With the rise of new powers around the world from the aftermath of the market collapse, it is as if a great shadow is being cast over the world. Hopes of a free world are dying, freedom is being destroyed, but not all is lost. The Commonwealth strives to spread freedom to the people of the world and prevent conflict, and I hope you see things the same way. I request official relations to be established between our great nations, so that in the event of conflict, it may be resolved with pen and paper, not blood and steel. This is a formal request to establish embassies within one another. Thank you for your time."</i><br>
With the final message sent, Kazimierz sets out to finish his land expansion in the Baltic.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><b><i><span style="font-size: 26px">Expansion and Growth</span></i></b><br>
Under the leadership of President Roosevelt, the government has received a large sum of taxpayer funding. The majority of this will be invested into infrastructure improvements to better the economy of the Union. Furthermore, Roosevelt has vowed to his people to slowly retake the rest of america and eventually rebuild the might empire. As such, his friend and army general James Harbord has ordered his infantry units to take control of New Port and Norfolk, two military strongholds on the east coast of Virginia.<br>
<br>
<b><i><span style="font-size: 26px">Making Friends</span></i></b><br>
President Roosevelt knows that if he were to restore the Union to its former glory he would have to make a few allies along the way. He sent several diplomats to the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the Kalmar Union to establish embassies and possibly and alliance of sorts between the 4 like-minded nations.<br>
