Meanwhile, in Greece, things are quickly stirring up. Under the command of Ambrosius Aurellianus, a young, charismatic revolutionary, the Greek Rebels quickly win a decisive victory over the Ottoman Empire in the outskirts of Athens. Now Ambrosius reluctantly takes the Greek throne as it's King andgladly begins the reconstruction of the country.

The Italian Imperium is the first to recognize the Republic(?) of Greece.

The Germans Ambassador doesn't out right refuse the Russian Terms. He just merely pointed out that it was the Austrians that caused this. Simple foods, and materials will be given to the russians. No Technology is to be shared, but raw materials will be transfered in terms of Peace.

The Germans Hold the Line and Start wondering. (We killed shit tons of their troops already, How much more is left?) The Germans have massive amounts of Infrastructure that prevents an easy advance for the Russians. It keeps the German troops well prepared and keeps their supplies up quickly. The Russians having the Disadvantage of distance from their production zones are at a clear disadvantage. The Russians may have more troops but they are Lacking in the way of supplies at this point. The Germans are merely Toying with them, and are taking count of how many they kill for sport.

[A lot of troops. The Russians specialize in these sort of tactics - if you find a wall in your path, ram your head against it 'til it breaks.]

The Russian troops, despite German advantages in supplies, still gain ground. Both sides are paying a grisly toll for every square foot of German territory that changes hands, and more of it seems to be going to Russia than back to Germany, for the moment. [Even though Germany can replace more tanks, airships, guns, etc. than Russia, the Russians just plain have more of them out at once.]

The southern Russian force reaches Budapest. With that, the Hungarians proclaim their independence from the Hapsburg throne and the Vienna government, effectively disintegrating the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Hungary is quick to attain a peace treaty with the Russians, who occupy it on their way to Austria, which is screaming for German assistance.

Russian negotiations with France are nearing completion. Masses of French tanks and troops have gathered in the eastern provinces on the German border, and [if Germany rolls a 14 or higher] preparations appear to be in advanced stages for an invasion. The Russian commanders are running out of supplies (due to Russian industry being weaker than German industry), and hope to get French (and maybe British) help to take pressure off their troops.

The German Ambassador Finally signs a new Treaty with Russia. The Treaty States that all Territory the Germans took from the Russians is given back. No German Territory is given, and That The Germans will give the Russians food, supplies, and build Russia a substantial Infrastructure network based on German Designs.

(In this post the Ottoman empire will basically split into many different kingdoms...)

As Greece split from the Ottoman empire, it couldn't have been at a better time. Mehmed V had been assassinated by Arabs, who didn't like the selling of their well. The Arabs proceed to rapidly make modern day Iraq, Kuwait, and the Gulf Shore area of Saudi Arabia into a new and even holier Islamic empire with Baghdad as it's capital. The new Shah or Calif (I don't know which they'd prefer), nationalizes the oil wells for the Holy Islam Empire.

The Syrian descendants of royal blood decide this is the time to create the New Syrian Kingdom, and with their secretly gathered troops create an uprising in Jerusalem and Damascus. The capital of the Syrian Kingdom is yet at debate, for both cities seem like a very good spot to rule from. Their territory include modern day Syria, Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan. The Jews want their own land but the Syrian Kingdom does not want this and has troops stationed in major cities. (This is where I let you decide if you want Israel Jeffery)

Egypt with no messages from the Ottoman Empire decide that they are no longer under the Ottoman boot heel and the three major families in Egypt start a civil war. The first family has their capital in Cairo, the second in Alexandria and the third in Port Said.

Serbia, also independent for the same reason, got quickly put under a dictatorship, under a former Ottoman Lord of Hungarian decent. Their Territory includes modern day Macedonia, Albania, and Serbia & Montenegro as well as western Bulgaria.

(I'll from now on play as Turkey)
Turkey ran a democratic revolution to get the same quality of life that the Americans before the war. They had gotten modern day Turkey (no way!), Cyprus and parts of eastern Bulgaria. Turkey and the new Greek Kingdom have yet to agree on the islands that lie in between them. Turkey did however recognize Greece apart from the pact (below)

The newly emerged Turkey, Kingdom of Syria, the Holy Islam Empire, and Serbia have already signed a pact recognizing each other. The Greek are invited to join and so are the Egyptians once they figure out who is going to lead them...

The ambassador from Greece meets with the ambassador from Turkey to decide the islands between them. During this conference, Greece asks only for the island of Crete.

And also during this conference, Greece also recognized the new nations that split from the Ottoman Empire.

While talks between Greece and Turkey are taking place, King Ambrosius 1 sends an ambassador to have talks with Russia and Germany about peace. In these talks, Greece asks only for Macedonia.

(If you want Macedonia, it belongs to Serbia)

Turkey agrees to the deal that Greece made (2 posts ago).

Also the government of Turkey is lending money to upstart factories, in order to industrialize. The Government also keeps constructing the rail that the Ottomans started, heading toward Baghdad. The Turkish government asks Greece if they would like to continue the rail through their country.

In Istanbul Court the new democracy is wondering what to do with the previous rulers family, but as of now the court is leaning toward execution. The all Ottoman ships in Istanbul, including the Western Ottoman navy has been brought under the Turkish flag. A few renegade ships are still sailing between Turkey and Greece. The government has yet to catch those renegades.

[Actually Serbia was independent at the start of the war and (technically) remains so now, despite Russian troops moving through it.]

The Vienna government makes peace with Russia, preserving itself in a little bubble of unoccupied land (effectively modern-day Austria's borders).

The few ships built by the Greeks after their revolution sail after these renegade ships in an attempt to try and catch them.

Meanwhile, King Ambrosius answers Turkey with saying that, although it was a kind offer, he had to turn it down in case things got ugly between the new nations. He also sends a message to the ambassador in talks with Russia and Germany to demand that Russian troops stop moving through Serbia.

Russia generally ignores Greece. In the meantime they send an ambassador to the Germans seeking a cease-fire.

Turkey has decided to hold elections in a week (this Sunday). Four parties emerge within the Turk government. The first party thinks they deserve more of the lands from the Ottoman empire since they had the capital and therefore champion a large military. The second party thinks more of economy to support the nation by supporting the already rich with tax cuts, tarrifs, and other legislation. The third party hopes to get popular vote by appealing to commoners and poor. The fourth tries to get support of the many scattered farmers. The temporary government has already weakened the third and the fourth party by putting a tax on voting.

Along with the elections, the national court has decided to hang the rest of the royal family. People are exited for this upcoming event and have driven from far away to see the royal beast hanged.

The Greeks find the renegades on the island of Crete. They sail in to capture these pirates.

The member 'Sirius Lupin' has done the following action : Roll dice

'd20' : 20

The Greeks win a decisive victory over these renegades. The renegade ships were all but powerless to the New Greek Fleet. The pirates are arrested and taken back to Greece for questioning and trial (If they were planning anything, that is).

The economic party for the rich has won the election in Turkey and the first thing they do is raise the nations tarrifs by 10%. Then they start by building up factories from which the tax money will go into military spending. The Turks begin training soldiers and pass laws requiring military service.

Also the royal family was almost completely executed "WE NEED NO MORE ROYAL BLOOD". It was however said that the oldest son is escaping toward the Syrian Kingdom...

(I forgot to ask: What year are we in?)

The economy in Greece makes a sudden boom from all the international trading. Now they're starting to build-up their military.

[The year is about 1906.]

The Italian Imperium, worried about Russian troops in Serbia and Hungary, extends the hand of friendship towards Greece, proposing an anti-Russian defensive treaty.

At the talks with Germany, Russian demands are as follows:

1: Germany will pay extensive sums to repair damages caused to the Motherland.
2: Russia will cede what territory they currently hold in Germany if and only if the Germans agree to create a demilitarized zone on their eastern border.
3: Germany will recognize the independence of Hungary.
4: Germany will pledge not to engage in military action against Russia again.

France offers to mediate the talks, as a non-belligerent power (even though French equipment has been used by the Russians. Great Britain signs a deal with Russia allowing for more training of their troops should the Germans continue hostilities, worried about a possible alliance between Germany and the USA.

The Germans tell Russia, In place of Their first Demand, they will create a massive infrastructure network to help Russia move her goods, people, and military around faster.

The economy of Turkey is increasing, but not as fast as the government would like. Part of the reason is, as the Farmer Party claims, is that the tarrif is hurting Turkey's largest economic sector: Farming. Turkey thereupon decides to lower the tarrif down to 5% over a 5 year period.

The Turkish navy, is swimming tall and proud, because 1/5 of all the taxes goes into the military and 70% of that into the navy. The navy has positioned itself in the capital Istanbul and with regular patrols along Turkeys coast caught a bunch of scattered renegades that presumably fled from Crete when Greece attacked. All of them were publicly executed (the government has a obsession with execution if you haven't noticed). Turkey also offers to mediate the peace talks between Germany and Russia since it considers itself neutral.

Russia refuses to budge on the issue. They again suggest France mediate, or failing that, the USA.

In the Americas, as Deseret collapses the Confederates move forces into the southern regions of the country to prevent an American takeover, thus opening the Deseret Front.

The Germans ask if the U.S would like to Mediate, as the French have been in someways involved with the war, and are more likely to favor the Russians.

The Germans Call for a cease fire on the borders with Russia till the peace talks are over.

Greece, cautious of how close the Russians are, accepts the proposal by Italy.

The Greecian Military begins to rise in strength due to the closeness of the Russians, as not only young men are armed, but also women and children (Kind of like in Israel today).

Meanwhile, they begin the construction of their first battle plane for the airforce.
