GD1938 Game 7

[cpdeyoung]

I am well aware that the purges may have weakened the technical edge of the Red Army, but ideological strength is far more important. The Soviet State is unique in the world, and is threatened on every side.

The Red Army has never been as strong as I would like, and has far too many Trotskyites. I am introducing a new two year plan for the military, which will pull it up by its bootstraps. The Germans are my biggest concern, but all must be watchful on every front.

J. Stalin

[Twotribes]

Just a note to The Soviet People, Japan has no interest in the Soviet East. Our goals and ambitions lie elsewhere.

[ironduke1955]

The United Kingdom are pleased that the Soviet Union under there benign and humanitarian leader J Stalin. Have a two year plan we will be ready for a thrill filled ride.

[Twotribes]

Perhaps the Common Wealth could explain why so many of her naval assets are hovering around Japanese territory?

[ironduke1955]

Well the Captain said he wanted a Ping so we thought the best place to look would be China.

I have placed a new emphasis on production, juggling the other needs.Germany is going about its business, and we are preparing for the worst.

Politburo Notes - 14 November 1938

While it is always the policy of the Soviet Union to welcome true peace we look with some concern at the Japanese offer of peace to China. We do not want adventurism by the Japanese in our far eastern provinces.

It is the policy of the USSR to maintain forces sufficient to defend the Motherland, and we expect our neighbors to respect our borders. We have not neglected our defenses.

[Twotribes]

Just one problem with your claim we are a threat as the Japanese, the victory condition that includes the Soviet properties requires Japan to control all of China.
