LA ARMADA NAVAL DE ARGENTINA

Description: In comparison to the army, the Argentine Navy suffers a bit. Though they are maneuvered extensively and often instructed by Germans or Italians, they lack combat experience as they weren't extensively utilized in the internal wars and the war with Uruguay. The only ones with experience are the carriers based at Montevideo which, coupled with well trained air wings, serve as a highly effective force which attempts somewhat successfully to emulate Imperial Japanese Navy. The rest of the force is competent but nothing beyond that. In general, the navy is deficient around the mid-range vessels but tends to get better around carriers, high end line ships and the real low end (500 and < ton tiny things) mostly cuz they could afford those easier while pumping the army.

ARGENTINIAN ALTERNATE HISTORY - 1938 - 1944

The first military junta first siezed power within Argentina in 1930. Underground movements to overthrow the existing junta first began under the leadership of Juan Peron, Carlos Verta and Fernando Martion succeeds in overthrowing the junta at the time, putting Peron to power. Fearing his partner during the revolution, Verta would attempt to wrest power from him, he has him assassinated. Due to known views of Juan Peron regarding Uruguay, the nation assists Verta in overthrowing Peron. Peron establishes movements to continue support of the Axis powers in Europe. Germany and Italy replace Britain as a market for the massive agriculture, leading to economic booming. Peron, though, dies of a heart attack.
Fernando Martino succeeds the dead president, but, unlike the previous leader, does not give full support of the Axis powers. He is still very weary of their motives, and does not fully trust them. He instead sides with Britain and American supplies, and tries to form many alliances.
Pressure is still growing in Uruguay as Paraguay, as the junta becomes more Axis-based and definitely tries to undermine the Republican authority. While growing tensions with Chile are being kept stable, Argentina is currently suffering from a torn two-faced diplomatic party - Axis, or Allies?

[Desert Journeyman]

OOC Errata:

- Moderators, if you haven't seen it already, note that the Romanian airforce now includes the IAR-80C, an aircraft that I had intended to produce since the game's beginning and erronously filled orders for with erroneous listings of IAR-81C and -81B models. I've rectified this - not a major issue since most of the designs are very similar -, and the recent Orders of Battle factor in IAR-80C production only from Jan 1944 onwards.

- Clanner, I have a copy of some Latin American Orders of Battle. Fenris, I can provision you with one if you'd like to see some data on the Argentine military of the day. Do note, Clanner, that Argentina was a fairly industrial South American nation, and certainly a powerful voice in politics at least in its hemisphere. The rate of GDP, however, is a point of reference which can be decieving. Despite that benefit, Argentina also held many, many unemployed. It was merely the status of European immigrant life and per-capita income for the working class that bouyed the factor. Also, following the major powers of the day - England, France, Italy, USSR, USA, Germany, and Japan -, Argentina, Brazil, Sweden, Poland, Czechslovakia, Chile, Romania, Finland, and Turkey were not so far behind as they are today.

[BigBBoyd]

After receiving permission from France and Great Britian, Rio Sol will utilize 3 of their Clippers to begin daily service from Rio de Janeiro via St Paul Rocks to Cassablanca, Mersille, and Plymouth. One Clipper be started in Rio in Morning, arriving in Cassablanca by 8pm. One will start in Cassablanca in the Morning, arriving in Bristol by mid day and making the return trip to Cassablanca by 9pm. A third Clipper will start in Cassablanca and return to Rio by 8Pm. All Services will comply with the Chicago Conventions. Further routes may follow depending on sucess of these services.

I REPEAT MY MESSAGE!

MESSAGE TO ENGLAND:

When can you think to sell the Whitworth Whitleys bombers?

[BigBBoyd]

Dateline-Florienopolis Brazil
St Louis Automotives unveiled their first working prototype of the new AAT-1 Amphibious Assualt Tank for the Brazilian Military. The impressive vechile made a quick trip from the shop to the bay, to the 1st marker and back. They did not fire the weapons, but it did prove to be nibble in both water and on land. Hopes are that this vechile will be ready for production by mid October of 1944. The Brazilian Military plans to use this vechile in combination with the TLV-1 of Graham Paige to form Special Combat Amphibious Units to work in conjucture with the recently ordered amphibious support ships. St. Louis Automotives is also hopeing that several other nations will take notice of this new piece of equipment and provide additional orders.

Im going to join as Chile

Ive got the OOB:

Chiléan Order of Battle ...

Nation: The Federated State of Greater Chilé
Territories: Chilé
Population: 15,500,000
Government: Military Junta under Republican auspice
Capital: Santiago, Chilé
Currency: Peso(d), Reichmark(f)
Industry: Pathetic
Economy: Beyond Repair
Merchant Marine: 1 million tons

Resources: fishmeal, coffee, copper, nitrates, precious metals, silver, timber, tin, iron ores, tungsten, zinc, natural gas, patroleum, cereals, fruits/vegetables, coal, livestock

National Advantages:
• Well-trained, battle-hardened military strenghtened via stable chains-of-command and competant junior officers with up to a decade of experiance in the field.
• Copious amounts of aid furnished by Europe's fascist governments, including those of Rome and Berlin.

Disadvantages:
1) Inclusion of modern naval and air arms into the Furenzas Terristas remains a difficult process despite considerable aid from sources both German and Italian.
2) The lack of any coherent industrial basis of even the most limited size, and a severe shortage - indeed starvation for - machine tools and mechanized staples.
3) Pathetic economy only now rising - questionably - from the grips of utter Depression, fueled by rising inflation, overemphasis on military gains, and an almost non-existant industrial- or academic-minded population.

Notes:

• "*" indicates damage.

• Chiléan naval units posses high levels of training and expertise, being well-trained by Germany, Italy, and necessity. Although naval units served in only a limited capacity during the Chaco War, they have been performing meanuvers off the immediate coast for upwards of several months, and continue to increase both their level of performance and overall command of war at sea.

• Few of Chilé's Protected Cruisers have been modernized - during or before the Chaco War -, are are of British design. Their crews, however, are well-trained and dependanble, being that these vessels saw extensive service along the southern coast of Peru during that conflict. Her Light Cruisers are all of modern German origin. Both Pocket Battleships are modern vessels, while Destroyer squadrons tend to be of antiquated British origin as well. Only those Destroyers based in Concepcion are modern. Her Submarine force is likewise outdated, yet effective. The crews of vessels with German origins are trained by advisors of that nation.

• All carriers possess full compliments of 12 SBD/A-24 and 12 F4F aircraft each.

To Britain:

We respect your stand, but we are still requesting that you withdraw most of your military assests from Gibraltor. Currentley they worry our countries people and are undoubtly a strain on your military.

On other matters we wish to sign a non-aggression treaty between our two nations so as to show friendship.

[Desert Journeyman]

To: The Greater Deutsch Reich
Subj: On the Subject of Munitions
Stat: Diplomatic Courier Package

Bucharesti, greatful for the continued support of Berlin, shall endeavor to transfer additional quantities of crude and refined product to Germany via rail this coming year. Payment in hard currency for munitions orders is also likely. We impress upon Germany, however, the necessity of provisioning Romanian units with no piece lesser than 75mm in calibre on the divisional level and again place an order for these in great abundance.

Romania would also appreciate the transfer of infantry kits, support weaponary, and such equippage to our regional depots by German interests. Furthermore, we look forward to the esatablishment of additional tractor factories in both Brasov and Bucharesti. This does not mitigate our present need, however, and perhaps an effort to ship motorized farm impliments at a sooner date would be more according.

Rest assured as well that Romania will not endanger the precious balance of Turkish exports via our territory, nor shall we permit that it is broken by representatives of Ankara.

To Germany:

How much would it cost for the aircraft that we have asked for.

[Clanner]

Thanks to soulman!

You may request. That does not require that his Majesty's government listen. Our forces remain where they are. However, on the subject of Non-agression: Will your Fascist masters allow such a treaty to stand?


ooc: Stryker, keep in mind, you are Germany and Italy's bitch. Literally. If they say jump, you say "How High?".

OOC:

Jeez Oshay. You're even more stubborn than the real British Government back in the 40's. The British were under considerable pressure from sides in the British House of Commons and the House of Lords to withdraw from Gibraltor in the 40's, 50's and 60's. In 1967 the Spanish requested the withdrawl of Britain from Gibraltor. When they refused it turned into a Mexican standoff with people from Gibraltor unable to leave via land. I just hope that you will eventually give up your stubborness and agree. You would be handsomely compensated.

IC:

The German and Itallian would most likely support the signing of a non-aggression treaty.

ooc: Britain holds Gibraltar to this day. I see no reason to give it up when they didn't IRL, under much greater pressure then I have now.
