June 27th, 1938 : China

Here is the southern attack.

[cpdeyoung]

June 27th, 1938 : China

And here is the butcher's bill to this point.

[cpdeyoung]

July 25th, 1938 : Soviet Union

We continue the process of up arming. We do more road building. We support our comrades.

Here is the mechanism to send aid to the Chinese comrades.

[cpdeyoung]

July 25th, 1938 : France

France now has over 50% conversion to semi-automatic weapons. This is quite a feat for a nation without abundant resources.

Germany continues to build up her forces for mechanized warfare.

[cpdeyoung]

July 25th, 1938 : Great Britain

Things are quiet in Europe. We were sloppy in the handover of Canadian resources and had to redo the ownership. Engineers continue to do some road building. We sent advisors to China.

[cpdeyoung]

July 25th, 1938 : United States

More sweltering weather, nothing happening. Even road building is paused.

[cpdeyoung]

Withdrawal in the south, fighting in the north.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : Soviet Union

Sad news from the west, the Nationalists have won in Spain. The Republicans held them off quite awhile.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : Soviet Union

Engineers have almost completed the ring road around Moscow.

Our industry has started to use 3479 units of fuel. We shall have to watch this.

We are starting to hear rumors that the Germans are thinking of attacking us. We have read Mein Kampf and know there is no love lost between us, but we have no idea of the accuracy of the rumors, nor of the time frame.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : France

We are running low on supplies. Everything costs so much, and takes so long. The British have helped us, and there is no question we are better off than we were in January.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : Great Britain

Our industry used 4973 fuel in production tasks. We will have to watch this number. Engineers pushed a road to London.

We are trying to raise our production but the progress is not linear. The last three times we invested in the economy resulted in no gains. We believe the extra production is being Siphoned off to civilian use.

We also cannot use, or store the vast amount of supplies the Commonwealth produces.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : United States

Really very little to do in this time of piece. US manufacturers thought they might get a boost from rebuilding the tiny army, but none seem forthcoming.

[cpdeyoung]

August 22, 1938 : China

The Northern front, and cumulative butcher's bill.

[cpdeyoung]

September 19, 1938 : Soviet Union

The road building around Moscow is nearly done. This is not a close in road, but a wide circle well away from the city. It should have military uses, and later as the city expands, civilian one.

Aid to China, but no longer to Spain, alas.

[cpdeyoung]

September 10, 1938 : France

France continues to rearm the infantry.

[cpdeyoung]

September 10, 1938 : Great Britain

Denmark and Norway have joined in an alliance with Great Britain. Both nations have merged operational control with British forces.

[cpdeyoung]

September 19, 1938 : United States

We build an annex in San Francisco. Engineers improve the road network.

[cpdeyoung]

September 19, 1938 : China

We are faced with slow progress in the north, where a powerful enemy and rough terrain make for slow progress.

[cpdeyoung]

October 17, 1938 : Soviet Union

The Soviet Union is trying a variety of ways to improve her military. Almost all upgrades of infantry weapons have been completed.

We are nervous about Germany. In the long run we can beat her, but we must lessen the effect of the first strike.

[cpdeyoung]

October 17, 1938 : France

Like the Soviet Union, France is preparing for a possible attack by the Germans and Italians. She also is rearming infantry with semi-automatic weapons.

We are far from certain that the Axis will attack us directly.
