WW1 Interactive

[Warluster]

Excellent! Welcome back all those who left! YES! Also, not to down spirit you or anything, this Interactive is by no means HISTORICAL, it is changing history, or do you mean the (OVER-ESTIMATED) bombings? I will decrease that to 500, YES!

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

The Kingdom of Greece


Economy:
Greece remained a very poor country through the 19th century. Its only important export commodities were currants and tobacco. Some Greeks grew rich as merchants and shipowners, and Piraeus became a major port, but little of this wealth found its way to the Greek peasantry. Greece remained hopelessly in debt to London finance houses. By the 1890s Greece was virtually bankrupt, and poverty in the rural areas and the islands was eased only by large-scale emigration to the United States. There was little education in the rural areas. Nevertheless there was progress in building communications and infrastructure, and fine public buildings were erected in Athens.

Army:
In peacetime the Greek Army contained about 32,000 men. However, during the Balkan Wars (1912-13) this was increased to 210,000. Senior officers were strongly royalist and tended to support Germany in its disputes with Britain.

Navy:
After the 1909 Goudi pronunciamento Greece bought several ships, most prominently among them the armoured cruiser Georgios Averof, which liberated the Aegean islands and twice defeated the Ottoman fleet during the First Balkan War. Major purchases from overseas included the two American pre-dreadnought battleships of the Mississippi class, bought in 1914, named Lemnos and Kilkis and a Chinese light cruiser which was named Helli.

Airforce:
The Hellenic Aviation was first established in 1911, with help from French experts. The first Greek aviator was Emmanuel Argyropoulos, who flew in a Nieuport IV.G "Alcuin" fighter, on February 8, 1912. The first military flight was made on 13 May of that year by Lieutenant Demetrios Kamberos. In June, the Hellenic Naval Aviation Ministry was founded. That September, the Greek Army fielded its first squadron, the Air Company (Λόχος Αεροπόρων).

The Hellenic Air Force participated in the Balkan Wars.

Diplomacy prior to World War 1:
Greece's King, Constantine 1, and many senior officers of the Greek Army, were very royalist and favored an alliance with Germany. The prime minister of Greece, Eleftherios Venizelos, favored the Allies.

Government:
The Kingdom of Greece was, well, a kingdom. King Constantine 1 ascended the throne after King George 2's assination. Greece had a prime minister, Eleftherios Venizelos.

Chapter 4Britain has moved remaining BEF troops to Belgium, as discovered by certain reports, although not a lot, it will still help. Out of the orginal 5 000 BEF force sent over there at the start of 1914, it now numbers some 3 500, masses of transport ships have been seen moving around to unknown where-a-bouts,

A massive battle is suspected near The Inner forts of Serbia, A recent push from the Austrian Border notions that a battle will happen, Of the original 5 outer forts, there is a numbered 2 left, one under Austrian Control, the other still in Serbian hands although it is VERY close to surrendering, holding out for 1 year. And on the in Austria there is (EASILY) seen the armies digging in, they are digging in along the Polish Border.
It does an increasingly hostile move and moves its navy close to Crete to attack.

Thousands upon thousands of Russian Troops are seen arriving in Serbia’s capital Belgrade, they are there sent upon the well wishing of the Russian Tsar. The division currently in Belgium has been strengthened again over losses, plus the Tsar increases Supplies, as spotted by a local German Fisherman.

Italy masses its troops at the French border (It has been done secretly for Months) and strikes, the little resitance there fights hard but I no macth for the Italian army. Italy takes a (LITTLE) bit of France.

Germany does unknown moves.

A whole division is sent from Britain to Bulgaria, as seen and reported by Italian Ships.

As for Greece, it has bombed outwards Serbian Cities,

Some new ships are seen with in the British and German ports, although how many there are is unknown. A new weapon is dawned upon called a TANK.

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

How did russian troops get into belgrade?

They retreated from Austria and Germany

A land invasion would have to make them go through Austria

A naval invasion would still have to make them go through Austria

And no such things as paratroopers.

[Prince Cobra]

We, Ferdinand, Tzar of Bulgaria and all the Bulgarians in Mizia, Thrace and Macedonia and Vasil Radoslavov, Prime-Minister of Bulgaria announce:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Dangerous times have come and Bulgarian state will take care of its defense and interests. Bulgarians, the time of the freedom and uniting is about to come. You must fulfil your duty to your country and your government. FULL MOBILIZATION OF BULGARIA IS ANNOUNCED!

GOD SAVE BULGARIA AND THE BULGARIAN PEOPLE!

P.S. Probably the Russian troops have passed through Romania (?)

[GiantMonkeyMan]

from the latest chapter

[Prince Cobra]

Now I remebered if the Russians could not have passed through Romania. And I thought Austria-Hungary is not so deep in the Serbian territory since Belgrade (the capital)was on the border. They just increase the pressure against Austria-Hungary and in this way decrease the pressure on serbia. But GMM, I thought the Danish armies of the Entente had been slaughtered . And actually I am surprised the Germans had no progress against France but just the opposite happened. These are my observation from histroric point of view I mean.

[Warluster]

the danish army is currently sieging Turkey! This is not Historical considering the fact that The allied army is currently on the coast of Germany, though they are getting (Sortta) killed (a lot), When did I say that Germany has captured French land? When did I say that France has captured German land? The chapters say all you need to know, everything else

[Warluster]

You guys just worry about running your nations, I will do all the behind the scenes stuff, leave it all to me (Other than those EXCELLENT maps, thanks for them) Now lets focus back on the game

[discovery1]

I want to sign up as the USA.

[Warluster]

Unfortunly the USA is not avabile right now because they have not entered the war, but I will tell you when they do.

[discovery1]

Please let me join now. I have ahistorical intentions, plus you have conducted the war ahistorically so far. There is little reason to think that the USA would follow it's historical path to war, plus one can have a great impact without actually joining the war. Also you let Hepcat join even when Italy was still neutral. Please let me join.

[Warluster]

Ok. But you are neutral and am on no ones side yet, you choose that.
Americas filled
EVERYONE! A NEW PLAYER! YES!!!!

[Csargo]

From now on the German U-Boat fleets will no longer wage unrestricted warfare on the shipping lines to Britain. The U-Boats will only attack enemy shipping to Britain and British warships that are vunerible to attack

Thank you Warluster.


As my first act as President of the United States is to issue an executive order comanding that all ships registered in the United Sates of America shall at all times while at sea fly the flag of the United States that shall not be less then 2000 square feet in area. Any nation that is caught copying this will have embargos placed on them by the government of the United States.


My second act is to strongly condemn the Russian scortched earth tactics in Germany. Such barbaric acts can not be tolerated by the civilized world, and all its members should join the United States in condemning them. In response to these outrageous acts, I have placed an arms embargo against Russia and have extended to Germany a twenty million line of credit for the purposes of reconstruction along with 10 million dollars worth of construction materials. These will be sent over on the USS Old Glory. Any nation that interfers with this ship will see it's assets in the United States frozen nor will its ships receive shelter in American harbors.



I also plan to push child labor reforms in Congress. What I have in mind is requiring a permit for the use of child labor.

[Hepcat]

In a wave of sympathy and goodwill to help our German and Austro-Hungarian neighbours who were the tragic victims of Russian brutality, 10,000 Italians have volunteered to work in East Germany and Prussia to help rebuild in the wake of the savage, muderous Russian hordes as they now flee backwards towards their Motherland.

Clearly our nation is committed to the Central Powers and is 100% behind me when I say that we will not let you down. The invasion of our homeland has stirred up Italian nationalism like a nest of hornets. Our people will not stand for the attempts of the British and French to dominate the European continent, just as they won't stand for their Russian allies butchering civilian populations. Our nation has awoken from it's peace time slumber, and now you will feel our wrath.








There are dark days ahead for the Entente.

The President of the United States signs the North West and North Central Rail Road Developement Acts into law. These laws are to susidize the development of railroads in the Northwest and central Northern United States.

'Murderous Hordes'? 'Butchering Civilians'? My noble friends, you have fallen ill from German propaganda. My troops were on specific orders to demolish any military target within German Prussia. If you wish to twist those facts to my troops slaughtering civilians then so be it. Need I remind you who is killing Russian civilians in Poland? The Austro-Hungarians. How about who is destroying any shipping to Britain inculding those of neutral countries? Germany.

You should think before you so readily lash out at countries that are mearly trying to protect its allies instead of conquer and enslave europe. I do not send aid to Germany because, unless you people forget, we are at war.

[Marshal Murat]

The British nation would like to pay the US government for their generous contibution to the German nation. Such an act of Humanity during a year of War.
Unfortunately, we are disgusted that the German Nation is using such a payment to create weapondry of war, not to re-plant their fields of Prussia. How do marks grow? We'd ask that the United States have inspectors find out where every mark goes in this effort to repair their fields, so that such a generous and humanitarian contribution doesn't create more death. If such money is used for war and not for peaceful repair, then I would ask the United States to explain why they didn't inspect the accounts of the Germans, and why they would allow themselves to be hoodwinked into killing French, Belgians, British, Russians, Danes, Norwedgians, Swedes, Serbians, Indians, Canadians, and hundreds of different peoples.

[GiantMonkeyMan]

OOC: btw i didn't destroy any fields etc, only factories that produced weapons, german defenses, german naval ports (where possible)... i think that's why you people are confused, i just did it to slow down german war production not destroying the german people's food

I have yet to specify what I am going to use the generous loan from the US on. We wish that you will keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about!

The materials from the US and the Italian workers shall be sent to Prussia to rebuild all that was destroyed by the Russian menace, replanting fields. Also a small amount will be given to the German people in Prussia for their pain and suffering from the Russians.

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

King Constantine has put into motion the Greek Expeditionary Force (GEF). It will consist of 5 divisions (5000 men) and will be sent to our Bulgarian friends in order to help increase their Army size in these times. Think of it as a gift, Tzar Ferdinand.

Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Joannis Metaxas

Approved by King Constantine 1 of Greece and Prime Minister Eleutherios Venizelos

[discovery1]

The POTUS sits down for his breakfast and picks up the latest issue of the New York Times. The headline reads:

ENTENTE BOMBS RUHR!!! THOUSANDS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN DEAD!!!

There are pictures of bombed out houses and crying children.

Later that day the POTUS signs an executive order authorizing the creation of the Bureau of Information. It is charged with collecting and distributing accurate information about the war to the people of the United States.

Covertly he sends out observers to ensure that the money given to Germany is spent on reconstruction.

[Hepcat]

I think you are wrong about Russian brutality

Russia retreats from Germany and Austria, a move discussed ever since they invaded Germany, while they retreat they burn and pillage all in there way. All factories, villages, anti-aircraft and defensive areas are destroyed. But the Russian troops get a bit VIOLENT and kill everyone; all villages are gone from the face of the earth. The capture thousands of dollars worth of plunder, plus a very high noble. It is referred to by the Russian Tsar as ‘Operation Scorched Industry’, the nations of outer Germany and Outer Austria have been turned into a Scorched Nation.

Fortunately this part of Germany isn't the most industrial, so the impact on the war effort shouldn't be too large. Mainly agricultural areas, which can be rebuilt quite easily.

OOC: i'm really annoyed about how this is going and i didn't want to bring it up until now... at first when i saw what warluster had written i thought that it was a little exagerated but i could live with that, but now everyone is tarneshing my name i'm frustrated. This was in my pm to warluster about the 'Scorched Industry' tactics:

now i would like to withdraw all my troops in austria or germany back to my origional borders as fast as possible but on the way destroy any important factories/army bases/docks etc in a 'scorched industry' tactic, i want to rid them of the capability to reinforce their defenses

somehow i think there is a little difference between destroying factories/army bases in a meticulous order and pillaging villages/destroying farmland. In Character i suppose i could say that i condone my troops actions and they will be punished, the only thing was i feel it was unfair that my origional orders were first twisted and now my 'enemies' are using these things which i didn't want to happen as ammo against me. I would have prefered 10,000 people to have died from air-raids.

[discovery1]

In response to the increasing British influence in South America with the entering of Agrentina and Chile on the side of the Entente, the POTUS signs the Hemisphere Armament Act. It authorizes the extention of credit to Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil along with subsidies on arms exports to those nations.

Don't feel bad it's happened to me too.

[GiantMonkeyMan]

i'll live... its just annoying to see people think that i actually did that kind of stuff and using it to their advantage, actually worse twisting of my orders have happened on this interactive but i shrugged and just got on with it... its when people twist it even further that i get annoyed

Our second wartime transmission from Radio Rome:
The west is not entirely innocent either, their blatant aggression towards the civilian population is clearly noticable too, with 500 dead German citizens. What was the object of this raid? It is unclear, but what we do know is that the Entente are using increasingly under hand methods against un-armed citizens of all nations of the Central Powers. They claim to be fighting for freedom and justice, while OUR people are fighting for SURVIVAL as they are massacred for no apparent reason other than being of a different nationality.
