Our Soviet Union (USSR)

[CountofDooku]

Like with pan-Slavism and other local Nationalist Movements, the Soviet Union attempted their best to also rally the Nordic Scandinavian Unionism behind the banner of Socialism and Communism. The idea of a rebirth of the Kalmar Union, the Scandinavian Unification of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, as well as maybe even Estonia, Latvia and Finland under their banners into a new Scandinavian People's Union was therefore attempted. Other socialists, communists and left-leaning parties/partisans in their respective nations At the same time it was agreed upon finally, that the term limits for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union should be 5 years in total, with the option of a skilled and by the population majority agreed upon candidate to be re-elected as often as the citizens wished to do so and the Soviet People would support them doing so. At the very same time the Soviet Union tried to build up relations and anti-Colonial, anti-Imperial ambitions with nation states in Africa and Asia alike, targeting especially Ethiopia, were they supported local groups who disliked centralization and the ruling kingdom’s monarchy at the same time and hoped for a Democratic People’s Republic of Ethiopia. As a result of Ethiopia lacking any direct access to the Indian Ocean, most trade and supplies had to go trough French Somaliland and the harbor of Djibouti, from were a railroad connected these transports with Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ehiopia. The problem was that beside Guinea the French Left was not participial strong inside the colonies and any trade therefore had to go trough Britain or France, a situation not well suited for long-term independence and security. The problem however was not only an Ethiopian one, as the Soviet Union wished it’s very own access to the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, or Pacific Ocean with an ice-free port for themselves as well. One from where their civil and military fleets could operate the whole year around, but most major ports fitting their needs would also bring them into direct conflicts with other nearby major global powers controlling them. At the same time the Soviet Union tried to economically, as well as later diplomatically and military gain influence in some of the smaller neighboring nation states with access to a warm-water port, to either lease those directly, or gain access by allying them. Especially the region around Persia, Afghanistan and neighboring country states while not officially part of the British Empire was for economic and strategic reasons still part of the Sphere of Influence of the British Imperial Federation.

Recent territorial claims and hostilities dealt with different claims and border disputes about the areas of Mongolia, Tunna Tuva, Outer Manchuria (Russian Far East) and Inner Manchuria, dealing with contested border regions as settled in the Treaty of Aigun in 1858, that had the Amur River as a border and the Treaty of Peking in 1860, that followed the Amur River and Usuri River as a Border. The Chinese clearly preferred a border in which they still ruled parts of Central Asia, Tunna Tuva, Mongolia and Outer Manchuria, while the Soviet Union Russians preferred the incorporation of Inner Manchuria to gain Port Arthur as an ice-free port for themselves. Many said some border river islands could be given up as a gesture of good will at best, but all Soviet Union politicians agreed to never give up Vladivostok under any circumstances. At the same time the Soviet Union had some of it’s military members suggest Operation Kali, the goal of establishing communist nation states in Southern Asia, partly to destabilize and weaken the British Imperial Federation, by supporting local Indian, Pakistani or even smaller Balochistan independence movements, or pan-Afghan ambitions to regain the lost Muslim border lands towards British Raj/ India, the modern Dominion of Pakistan. To do this the Chinese, Mongolian and even some Persian and Afghan Socialists and Communists were invited to discuss how to operate against the British Imperial Federation. Part of these cooperation and investment included sharing technology and favorable threats and even supply them with money, supplies, weapons and propaganda, even promising them independence, as clearly the Soviet Union had no stakes in their land, would at best demand an ice-free warm-water port like those of South Asia. Many of the invited nation states claimed some sort of new socialist and communist governments to gain favors for modernization, industrialization and financial support, but also the Soviet Union wished to gain more influence over their foreign policy. However the Soviet Union lacked the money for massive military buildup, or any major global conflict at the moment after the Japanese Russian War, the First World War and the Russian Civil War and needed all of their financial income to rebuild the scars of these conflicts across Russia, therefore no direct actions against other major powers were taken yet.

Transforming the Russian Serfs into modern citizens who worked in factories and modern farms as labor, workers and farmers alike was no easy task for the former peasantry. Education had to be improved, other things build up from nothing. Any major conflict against another Great Power, like the Americans, British, or even regional powers like China, Germany and Japan therefore had to be seen as dangerous adventures, better treated cautiously at the moment. Standardization was implemented everywhere, modern technologies used so that things could be easily repaired and replaced everywhere. With the support of local civil aviation leagues and training, as well as the state#s own postal and transportation services, the Soviet Union tried to secretly build up skilled pilots that later could also be used in larger numbers for military bombers and fighters as pilots. At the same time the Russian the Mekhanizirovannyy Khozyáystvo (Mechanized Farm/ Farmer), or MK-1 a simple, mass produced tractor was meant to modernize Sovkhoz, Kolkhoz and other farmer collective unions to compete with larger competitors, produce more and efficiently then ever before. Like the first Russian People’s Car, the Mashina-I and the first Russian Trucks Gruzovik-1, that could also be armored and repurposed for more military roles, like some trains, cars and trucks had been during the Russian Civil War, the MK-1 as well would be the later base for the first Russian Tanks, the Bak-1 or B-1. Over the course of four five-year plans the Soviet Union this way hoped to be on pair with western military powers. At the same time a new Soviet Judicaly division system overlapping with the civil and military administration was created, with the local Towns and cities, or farm communities being represented by the Municipal Court (service one year each judge), the Oblast Provinces above them represented by the Oblasial Court (each judge serving four years), the individual Republics by the Republic High Court (each judge serving eight years), the Soviet Union in total by the Supreme Court of the Republics (each judge serving for twelve years), with a special Supreme Revolutionary Tribunal (each judge serving for twelve years) looking out that any policies and sentences of the other judicial institutions were in line with the ideal and ideology of the Soviet Union.

Regarding the Chinese Russian Border Tensions, the majority in the Soviet Union decides to keep the local borders with China for now, but some suggest liberating Korea trough Guerrilla Warfare from Japan and then keeping it secure from further future Chinese and Japanese influence and dominance, in favor of their own Russian one in the Far East. While the Uncertainty Principle is formulated by Werner Heisenberg employed at the Niels Bohr Institute for Physics at the University of Copenhagen, tensions rise within a week in Europe, as a military coup nearly takes over the Portuguese government in Lisbon, but is put down before anything serious can happen and the Portuguese government and nation state threatened. Fearful of their citizens in anti-Foreigner riots, the British land troops in Shanghai during anti-Westerner/ anti-European/ anti-Colonial and anti-Imperial riots in the city, clashing with local militias, police and army forces and all in between, nearly creating a local battle in between these various factions that triggers a British-Chinese War. In Yugoslavia meanwhile an Earthquake of a magnitude of 6.1 kills around 50 people and leads to intensive destruction's across the country. In Shanghai the presence of British troops leads to an overall general strike and calls for drastic and rash actions by the Chinese government, further escalating and the Shanghai International Settlement were most foreigners live is threatened. Fearing memories like during the Boxer Rebellion before, which is why the local British, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Newfoundlanders, South Africans, Americans, Danes Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians and Germans, as well as their overseas governments are cornered during the Shanghai Riots and Shanghai Crisis. The Clara Bow silent romantic comedy It, which would popularise the concept of the It girl distracts the public a bit, but under guidance of the radio frequencies regulating U.S. Federal Radio Commission, the later Federal Communications Commission the public is well informed about the tensions and problems in Shanghai all the way across the Pacific.

The aid given diplomatically to the Chinese, aiding them in the Shanghai Crisis and supporting the League of Nations in an evacuation of all foreign citizens and also back Chinese Claim on these lands while not trying to anger British forces, or the British Empire at the same time was welcomed with open arms in China, as Wang and many saw it as an acknowledgment of Chinese ambitions and claims against unequal treaties, stolen port cities and other goals. It would cement the so called Wang foreign diplomacy, when China attempted to use the Europeans and Soviet Union Powers against one another to reclaim all lost Chinese territories and lands over time, mainly by diplomatic and peaceful means, but sometimes also with military pressure. At the same time the Soviet Union increased it’s hemp and other agrarian production, partly to also make cheaper clothes from doing so for the masses.

Simultaneously the rise of Science Fiction Literature and Ideas, supported by a Futurist Utopian view for the future were also paired with other famous weeks besides Jules Verne or H.G. Wells, when Tolkien was translated into Russian. Like all foreign books some alterations were made to the Hobbit (also known as the Peasant) and the Lord of the Ring (also known as Lord of Chains, or Breaker of the Chainring). Many included some geographical changes and resignations to better fit the understanding of the Soviet Readers. In these worlds the Hobbits were Kulaks from a more rural, simple and satisfying way of life, opposing the authoritarian, reactionary power of Mordor, which stood for all king of Monarchic and Religious Totalitarian Rule and like the enemies of the Great War was located to the West of Zapredelye (the Shire). Depending on the version the One Ring was a Magical, or Alien Artifact device which allowed for the mind control, brainwashing and enslavement of all people, just like old aristocratic and religious rulers would and only the strong minded, Soviet Ideology fearing people were capable of withstanding it’s brainwashing, as well as it’s alluring to use it to take dictatorial powers themselves and rule like the old Reactionary Powers had in a new dictatorship. But while Soviet Writers, like Yajoy Perelman created their own works, and encouraged interaction in places like the House of Entertaining Science, many Soviet fans of these genres would began a new fashion and ideal, that they called Budushcheye Zhizn (Futurist Living), or Vpered Zhizn (Forward Living), something Westerners in parts would call Cosplaying, Role Playing Gaming and similar things, when hardcore fans of such works of books and games not only would see them as hobbies, but dress up as their idols and live in the courageous and ambitious ideals of their heroes to oppose the Evils of the Real World, the Reactionary Monarchic, Theocratic, Imperial and Colonial Despot, Tyrants and other evils who in their lust for power had corrupted mankind's minds and enslaved their fellow men in their lust for power.

Meanwhile trained athletes in South Africa are hired by major companies to stake claims during the diamond rush. In Honshu Kapan, in the areas of Toyooka and Mineyama the Kita Tango Earthquake of 1927 kills around 2,930 people. Samuel Roxy Rothafel opens the Roxy Theatre in New York City. Juan T. Trippe founds the Oan American World Airways. In Nanking during the Nanking Incident six foreigners are killed as Chinese Communist Party and Kuomintang forces overrun foreign consulates, forcing the US Navy and British Royal Navy to fire shells, which result in the fearful despersing of the crowd during the League of Nation backed evacuation of the foreign quarters of the city. In Daytona Beach, Florida, Henry Segraye manages to break the land speed record while driving the Sunbeam 1000 hp.

United International Left

Under Trotsky's influence the Left-Kuomintang (Left-KMT) and the Communist Chinese Party, as well as other like the China Zhi Gong Party, the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, the China Democratic League, the Chinese Republic Party, the Provincial Democratic Self-Government Party, the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, the Workers and Peasants Liberation Army, the Democratic Party of China, the Union of Chinese Nationalists, the Maoist Communist Part, the Revive China Party, the Chinese Progressive Party, the China Socialist Party, the Chinese Citizen Party, the Oriental Communist Party, the Chinese Labor’s Party, the Chinese People’s Party, the Chinese Social Democratic Party formed a Chinese cooperative coalition inside of the United Chinese People’s Republic. At the same time the British actions in Shanghai were used to convince the Chinese to give the Soviet Union naval access, so that their fleet could help and aid them against further naval aggression of foreign powers. This way Wang’s government could claim new security, but at the same time feared to become to depending on the Soviet Union and the Russians, which some of their Chinese allies heavily opposed at the same time. While being vulnerable to the British and other international global powers, the Propaganda of Wang called for a new coastal protection effort and to build up a modernized navy, never to fall into European and other Colonial and Imperial Powers threatening the Chinese coast, trade and with this secure China. At the same time the Chinese also gained access at Soviet Ports, were their ships were more secure from surprise raids and attacks by their rivals and enemies. The overall Soviet-Chinese goal was to project their combined power across the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean region. At the same time the Soviet Union tried to negotiate in the war reparations between Germany and France, hoping to gain support among Socialist, Communist and other factions of the French and German Populations by doing so. This move was not only meant to further lead to a Berlin-Moscow Alliance, but also to redirect Paris away from London.

Any such agreement however was a very difficult, nearly impossible task but the Locarno Treaty had proven negotiations were possible and the immense German reparations, paid mostly to France and Belgium, not so much also War Devastated Russia, gave the Soviet Union a moral and diplomatic pressure instrument to implement new negotiations. If Russia not Britain would broker such a new agreement, the burden of reparations on the German population while secretly attacking the Locarno Treaty as a hollow British mean to chain Germany. To break Paris out of this agreement they were promised money, certain and valuable frequent payments, while also opening the Eurasian Free Trade Agreement and Block for France as well, connecting it to an economic block of 700 million people that represented roughly 1/3 of all of mankind in the Eurasian Trade Block, making trade tariffs with them lower for Paris and opening up the goods and natural successors of the member states for France to lower prices, while the Soviet Union also promised to pay the Tsarist debts to Paris in exchange for lowering those to Germany and the German People. An achievement that the Soviet Union contributed in parts to the German Socialist and Communist Party members they had invited to these meetings and diplomatic negotiations. At the same time, like the Far-Right Nationalists DNVP and NSDAP also tried to instrumentalist the French occupation of the Ruhr Region (Ruhrkampf) for their political campaigns, so did the Socialists and Communists, who unlike the Far-Right who used violent attacks and even bombings, assassinations and attacks against French Troops, the Left-Wing mainly instrumentalist civil unrest, by no longer working in occupied areas and instead forcing the French to supply the local population with food on their own costs. At the same time a own version of the World’s Fair for Socialist and Communist Nation States of the Eurasian Silk Road was internationally introduced and soon also opened up to Left-Wing Nations, Movements and Parties from not only European, Asia and North America, but also Latin America, Oceania and Africa.

The growing Soviet Union Entertainment Industry in cooperation with the News and Education elements of the state, to cooperate and coordinate them together, ensuing education, news and propaganda grew, first by newspaper and radio, later by television. New colonial towns and colonies across Siberia were also planned and attempted to use greenhouse farming to be more self-sufficient and not so much relying on outside food imports. At the same time the Eurasian Silk Road members began sharing technological and scientific development and secret intelligence information's as well. The German Socialists and Communists began capitalizing on the Silk Road, lowered reparations and a growing economy that would keep them in power in the upcoming 1928 German Federal Election, yes even let them gain some seats before the Great Depression, with the Social Democrat Party 34,67% and the Communists gaining 15,26% for a total of 49,93% who together with the German Farmers Party, the German Agricultural League, the German Pasents and Farmers Party, the German Social Party and the German People’s Party formed a government coalition that had a slight majority. A boost that would only grow during the Great Depression in the later 1930 election. Massive anti-capitalist and anti-imperial propaganda aid for German Socialists and Communists, support in the Rhineland and Ruhr and coordination with the SPD and KPD however also made far-right, industrial and military circles in Germany nervous and conspire with Ludendorf, Hugenberg and Hitler to oppose what they feared could become a left-wing coup by all means necessary. Tensions between Left and Righ Paramilitary Party forces grew and rumors of a Civil War spread especially among military, conservative, reactionary, industrialists and landlords circles who feared their influence and power in government and the nation erode. The German Socialist and Communist were therefore advised to lay down their own aggression and agitation, as to not further escalate the situation and play into the hands of the Far-Right. As a result, the Soviet Union opened up their Socialist and Communist alliance to former Syndicalist and other Far-Left groups and movements to form a united left coalition against such reactionary forces, including the Anarcho-Syndicalist Trade Union that was the Free Association of German Trade Unions (FDVG) which combined with the Ruhr region's Freie Arbeiter Union to the Free Workers' Union of Germany (German: Freie Arbeiter Union Deutschlands; FAUD) and in Spain they encouraged the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT, General Union of Workers), Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (English: National Confederation of Labor; CNT) and Iberian Anarchist Federation (Spanish: Federación Anarquista Ibérica, FAI) to closely work with the Popular Front Government later on.

While in the United States the first experimental motion picture instead of the electromechanic TV system is transmitted by Philo Farnsworth, and the Australian Parliament changed from Melbourne to Canberra, the Soviet Union was more interested in the British raid on the Soviet Trade Delegation in London, under suspicion of supporting the local Socialist and Communist Parties, as well as even more radical left-leaning groups and movements in the United Kingdom. At the same time Soviet Propaganda uses the Bath School Disaster, which saw a school official attach children violently, killing 45, viewed by many inside the Soviet Propaganda Machinery as what happened to the human mind inside a Capitalist and Imperialist Education/ Propaganda Apparatus. Calmer voices within the Soviet Apparatus meanwhile publicly explained their worries for the victims and their relatives, hoping the Untied States would have the same guarantees of financial security, injured Soviet Workers and their loved ones could benefit from in chase of work related accidents and death. Quickly said program was adopted by the Socialist Party of America and the Communist Party of America respectively, who tried to instrumentalist the incident to really for better psychological and physical healthcare for workers and labor forces everywhere in the United States. Thanks to the Treaty of Jeddah, the United Kingdom recognized the authority of King Ibn Saud over the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd, allowing them to get one step closer to an Untied Arab and Arabian Peninsula Nation State. The Soviet Union was quick to chime in that if the British truly wished to respect the Arab people in their diplomacy and agreement, they would give over the rest of the Middle East to them, like they had agreed upon during the Great War in support for their aid in the War against the Ottoman Empire, a speech that resulted in a much better Soviet-Arab relation overall and the increasing rise of Arab Socialism and Arab Communism, which would mix with pan-Arab Nationalism all across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia itself, while a Kingdom also proclaimed to be a People’s Republic in the hopes that they would support the Pan-Arab Nation Idea across the Middle East and North Africa. Inside the Soviet Union meanwhile, the ethnic Russian, Tartar, German, Bulgarian, Jewish and Polish divided Crimean Peninsula, was turned into the Crimea ASSR. While Charles Lindbergh flies across the Atlantic Solo nonstop in the Spirit of St Louis, from Paris fo New York, the Soviet Union focuses much more on their friends in Asia, when the Gulang Earthquake hits Gansu in northwest China, killing over 40,000 and leaving many more homeless and without foot and other basic supplies. Close to the Soviet Border from Mongolia and East Turkestan/ Xinjang, local Soviet Union Red Army forces, after questioning for United Chinese People’s Republic approval aid local Chinese authorities and forces in the rescue and reconstruction work. As a result of the United Kingdom operations against the Soviet Trade Delegation, results in the British cutting all official diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union on the grounds of espionage and underground agitation, while at the same time also striking heavily against Socialist, Communist and Trade Union parties and movements across the British Isles.

The Soviet Union decided, that the best current course of action, was to protest diplomatically, so that the overall situation with the British could calm down. In the Sunda Strait of Indonesia the volcanic island of Anak Krakatau begins to form, while Albania and Yugoslavia end their diplomatic relations. Around twenty people are arrested in the Soviet Union for alleged espionage in retaliation for the assassination of Pyotr Voykov, Soviet Ambassador to Poland two days earlier, who had been shot by 19-year-old Boris Kowerda on the railway station in Warsaw. Kowerda, an exiled Russian, claimed the crime as an act of revenge for the death of Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian Imperial Family in 1918.

It is now a question if we want to retaliate against the Whites by shooting these people, or if another path is better suiting our new Soviet Union. In France meanwhile, the leader of the French monarchists, Léon Daudet, is arrested, while a parade down Fifth Avenue in New York City is held for Charles Lindbergh. In Spain the airline Iberia is established and over Wales, Northern England, Southern Scotland and Norway, Sweden, Finland and Northmost Russia. At the End of the Months in the Fokker Trimotor airplane America crosses the Atlantic from Roosevelt Field, New York to the coast of France, under Commander Richard E. Byrd, Bernt Balchen, George Noville and Bert Acosta, but because of bad weather all four men had to ditch, because of it that, but would survive. While Soviet Union Socialist and Communist Propaganda spread, the Arabian People’s Republic did the same and spread Arab Socialism, or Arso as they called it across the Middle East, combining it with pan-Arabist ambitions in Jordanian, Syria, Iraq, Egypt.

At the same time the old rivals of their Sunni Center, the Shia Core of Persia founded the Parsi/ Iranian People Communist Party with the goal and ambition to form the Commune of Persia/ Parsi for themselves, prevent Soviet Union Ambitions against their nation, or border regions and rival Pan-Arabic Ambitions in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. In Austria the July Revolt of 1927 sees the Social Democrats attempt a coup in Vienna, leading to around 100 death, around 1,200 injured, half protesters, half police. With the rise of the Right-Wing Heimwehr and Austrofascism, the question rises, if the Soviet Union should oppose the Socialists and Communist in Vienna and Austria in their coup to create an Austrian People’s Republic, after all the Hungarians had a short-lived Communist Regime after the World War too, which could lead to a Domino effect in the Balkans and Central Europe.

Japanese and Korean Rykovists and Wangists

While some like Trotsky were devastated that the Austrian Socialists Coup was not supported, most inside the Soviet Union believed the time was not yet right and that instead they should focus not on alienating the European Powers, but instead further aid Asian anti-colonial, anti-imperial resistance, revolution, independence and autonomy movements. Therefore the Soviet Union and the Chinese United People’s Republics supported local Socialist, Communist, People’s, Worker’s and Farmer’s Parties and Movement to be more cooperative, form coalitions and become more RykovistParties and Wangist Parties. They especially focused on the East Asian Minorities of Manchuria and the Far East, especially the Koreans and Japanese. Because of that locally oppressed Socialists and Communists, as well as followers of Cheondoism would rally behind their supporters in Mukden and Vladivostok alike. The Japanese Branch, the Socialist Party of Northern Japan (Kitanihon Shakaitō) followed a model similar to Rykovism that their members called Itoism/Itoist after their founder. They planned to reorganize the Japanese People’s Republic in form of the government and administration of the Soviet Union with centralized national government but no local autonomous provinces, as the Shogunate Era and Times, had showed how bad this could end for the peasantry, with bandits, wars and other problems and conflicts. In their Foreign Policy they concentrated mainly on other leftist/ left-leaning nation states around the world, especially in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the East Pacific, as well as later East Africa, were they would help with financial aid for infrastructure, economic and industrial growth and help during times of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and famines.

In terms of their economic and trade politics the Japanese would prefer a Market Socialist mix in between Rykovism and Wangism, with some capitalist elements, competition between big business and the unification of small businesses into cooperation's to make them more competitive and help them advance to guide the Japanese culture, society and technology into the future. One major goal of the Koreans and Japanese was to be connected to the Eurasian Silk Road the moment they would take over control of the Korean and Japanese Nation States with their movements. Headquartered officially in Vladivostok the Japanese exiles in reality mainly focused around Nakhodka, which they therefore called Nyūakita (New Akita) and some planned the local creation of the Japanese Autonomous Oblast in the are of the city, as it was by now mainly populated with Japanese Exiled, just how Koreans formed a majority in nearby Southeast Manchuria. To archive this the Korean People’s Liberation army and the Japanese People’s Liberation Army are formed. While in the Mount Rushmore Park President Calvin Coolidge promises national funding for the proposed carving of the presidential figures, but also explains he will not run again for president in 1928. Worldwide protests oppose the death sentences of the Italian American anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, who are executed the next day in the Charlestown State Prison in Boston, Massachusetts. The Atlantic Provinces of Canada meanwhile are hit by the 1927 Nova Scotia Hurricane killing 56.

Rebellions and Unrests

In the Central American Republic the Soviet Union backed rebels, had not only the backing of the majority of farmers, peasants and the common people, which was why they were making good ground and actually working together with Mexican pro-Soviet backed rebels and forces across the border, while the Christeros and the American backed Mexican Republic Government in the North Rivaled them. A bad Autum Harvest in China meanwhile meant that Wang, despite wishing to aid the Soviets in anti-colonialism across Asia had to deal with some own guerrilla and rebel groups in unrest and opposition to his government first, proving that even under Wangism China was far from being stable and secured by now. At the same months the League of Nations Slavery Commission would abolish, outlaw and oppose all types of slavery in a treaty signed on September 25. While overall a moral good to do so, the Soviet Union, or at least some inside of it believed if spun right this was an ideal tool against any type of colonialism and imperialism by the Americans, Europeans and other powers, if they would just use this tool right. Meanwhile some Soviets debated if they should increase support for Wangist China to defeat the Kuomintang remnant and other rebel forces, or if they instead should increase support to Central America and Mexico, maybe even unify these forces into a untied Central American Soviet Nation State.

Soviet and International Support

During the Rebellions and Unrest in the World, the Soviet Union was quit split, with it’s Navy and Air Forces wishing to focus on West and Central America and Mexico at first, while the Army was for supporting the East and Wang China first, each in regards to what was most easiest, feasible and long-term positive and efficient for them. Parts of these movements in Central America and the Karibbean were also taken over by Stalinists, while Trotskyists had larger influence over these Chinese and East Asian Movements. While the theoretical principle of complementary at the Fifth Solvay Conference on Physics are presented by Niels Bohr and in South Dakota the sculpture carvings at Mount Rushmore begin, the Mexican People’s Republic wins over Christeros and Conservatives alike, leaving the American backed Norther Republic of Mexico the only thing now still standing in the way of the new Southern Mexico/ Aztex/ Aztlan People’s Republic.

Mexican support for Leftist Rebels in Central America also quickly leads to the defeat of Federal Government forces and their American backers there, resulting in the declaration of the United People’s Republics of Central America (UPRCA). Fearful of this the British increase their troop numbers in Belize and Jamaica, while the United States Army and Navy send reinforcements to the Panama Canal, declaring to the UPRCA that any attempt to seize, nationalize, or otherwise takeover the international important Panama Canal would lead to a direct American reaction and military intervention. At the same time Pan American Airways smuggles advisers, weapons and supplies to Havana Cuba, to create local anti-left regimes and movements to oppose the rise of leftist governments in the Americas, with enemy ones. In Porto Seguro, Brazil meanwhile the Italian ocean liner Principessa Mafalda capsizes, killing 314 people.

Attack of the Dead Man

While the Great Vermont Flood of 1927proves to be the most devastating desastern in the state’s history and the new, 5th government forms in Turkey, Mahatma Gandhi visits Ceylon. Meanwhile the Soviet Union Communist Party discusses a potential expelling of Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin to eliminate the last isolated, or remnant Trotrkist and Stalinists in the Soviet Union and the International Comintern/ Socintern, which is what the Central Committee, Soviet of Nationalities, Soviet of Unions now debated. While the Holland Tunnel underneath the Hudson River connects New Jersey with New York City for vehicles, th Gasometer in Pittsburg explodes, leading to three North Side Equitable Gas storage tanks to explode and killing 26 people alongside causing damaged estimated from $4.0 million and $5.0 million. Socialists, Communists and Trade Unions in the United States of America use the opening of fire by Colorado State Police upon 500 rowdy, but unarmed miners and the death of six of them to national wide protests against the current American government and Capitalist Market Systems, claiming incidents like these proved the enslavement of the American Worker and the reason why he must claim the means of production for himself. The Socialist Party of America, the Communist Party of America and several Trade Unions see an immense growth in membership because of the heavy backing from these organization and accompanying Comintern/ Socintern Propaganda. While no one denies what Stalin and Trotzyk had done for the Comintern/ Socintern, it is their characters, ambitions and individual actions working against the Comintern/ Socintern/ Soviet ideal that are on trial here. The Moscow Process is overshadowed by a more radical faction, the Communalists, who try to usurp it to implement a Communal System in which each individual citizen is rated, ranked in social hierarchy, taxed and measured by how much he does for the society and state instead for himself as individual, which is what they will try to prove with this chase against Trotsky and Stalin.

Others fearful of where such a Communal Judgment and Communal Social Judging System might lead oppose the Communalist Faction because of that. Meanwhile the American sponsored anti-Communist, anti-Socialsit Cuban Propaganda falls on many deaf ears among the general population outside of government and military circles, as many oppose their dictator and the immense influence American Corporations and trade overall has on their island nation state. In the meantime neighboring United People’s Republics of Central America (UPRCA) while partly influenced by Stalin and Trotsky themselves form what many called anti-Bananism (Central American Socialism/ Central American Communism/ Central American Farmers, or People’s Agrarianism), a response to the American influenced Banana Republics, by collectivizing all agrarian land and mining rights in their nation and giving ti back to local communities, with no outside investors and companies allowed to ever meddle in them again. While they agree with the Soviet Union that the Panama Canal should be an international zone for all people’s in the world, this means they support the League of Nations taking over from mostly American dominated control. At the same time their guerrillas now support the neighboring Mexican People’s Army and Mexican Liberation Army against the American backed northern regime, while at the same time some Maya and Yuacatan Socialist and Communist Guerrillas also cross over into British Belize with the goal of liberating it from European Colonialist Rule and Imperial occupation. Fearful that the Soviet Union might not back them, the Socialists and Communists of Mexico and Central America officially declare these Socialist and Communist Belize/ Maya/ Yucatan Guerrilla groups anti-Communist/ anti-Socialist bandits and rebels, remnants of the previous governments and militarist they had defeated. A action which would result in the creation of the Maya/ Mayan League/ Yucatan Nationalist Liberation Army and ethnic Mayan/ Yucatecos opposition against both of their governments and nation states. At the same time the Red Army lends many of it’s recruits to the production of a Propaganda film, the Osowiev Miracle, also known as the Battle of Osowiec, or Attack of the Dead Man, both to praise Russian Heroism against Imperial German forces, as well as to remember and increase awareness of all Biological and Chemical Warfare to oppose it.

Union of the Soviets

Alexei Rykov and the Communist Party Congress tried their best to weaken the Stalinist and Trotskyist positions without compromising the good faith and will the Soviet Union and it’s People had in them and their institutions. The fact that Stalin and Trotsky were away from the Motherland did certainly help, as did the fact that many of their supporters were neither as charismatic, or smart as them and gave enough reason to condemn to stark deviations from general lines within the Soviet Union and it’s political parties. As a result, the Joint State Political Directorate (JSPD/ OGPU) explain that those like Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky have with their Stalinist and Trotskyist agitations formed a internal passive resistance against the Soviet Union, resulting in them being expelled from the party, all political positions and exiled. Some to radical who had managed to get out of overall judgments and sentences against them directly, later had some unfortunate accidents, others were accused of being ethnic and religious nationalists in certain Soviet Republics for things they had done and said and therefore unfit to spread and protect the wider ideals and goals of the Soviet Union. While the Eurasian Silk Road was extender towards Mexico and Central American People’s Republics and finally had an economic, financial and industrial influence in the Americas as well, Wang Jingwei and his wife Chen Bijun survived an assassination attempt while at a public political event in Shanghai. In the United States the Ford Model T ends production after 19 years followed by the Ford Model A. In the Soviet Union meanwhile the Comauto (Commune Automobile, or as the West Called it Communist Car) was an effient mixture of automobile and the bus, capable of transporting the larger Soviet Families, or a Working squad/ section of Soviet Farmers and Workers to their jobs, which made them good personal and equipment transportation trucks in times of future wars, while also directly opposing Cars as a symbol of Class and other Division and Segregation with bigger and more expensive models, like it was common in the West. With Iraq gaining independence from the United Kingdom/ Britain, the local Arab Socialist Party and the Mesopotamian Socialist Party alongside more minor socialist and communist parties gained more influence. With the execution of the Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, Thakur Roshan Singh and Ashfaqulla Khan of the revolutionary movement for Indian independence, the Indian Communist consolidate their influence on the movement and become a stronger factor in the British Raj, working towards a United People’s Republic of Indo-Pakistan.

Soviet Finns

While the creation of a Karelia ASSR similar to the Volga German one for the Finnish government-in-exile was hotly debated, in the End the Red Finns were allowed to set up the Karelian Soviet Socialist Republic (KSSR), or Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic (FSSR) and Finnish People’s Republic (FPR) and Finnish Socialist Worker’s Republic (FSWR) as part of the Rus Soviet Federation Socialist Union Republic (RSFSUR), also known as Vostokslavia (East Slav, Eastern Slav, or United Eastern Slav). Their capital would be Petrozavodsk and Kullervo Manner, former chairman of the Democratic Socialist Party of Finland and during the Finnish Civil War leader of the Finnish people’s Delegation, co-founder of the Finnish Communist Party, Finnish Red Guards and now a Red Finland. The idea was to build up an ideal Red Finnish Utopia across the border in Karelia and encourage the Finnish people to vote Socialist and Communist Parties to join it in the long run. A model that if successful could be expanded upon the ethnic overlapping borders of the Middle East, South Asia and East Asia as well. Meanwhile the Mutual People’s Assurance Pact was signed by most members of the Socialist International (SolIntern) and the Communist International (ComIntern) to oppose Colonial and Imperialist powers to wage war against it’s members. However especially in Britain and France, as well as Turkey, Persia and the Nationalist Chinese the pact was seen as a Socialist-Communist faction to take over most of their Empries of Nation States trough insurgency and rebellion.

At the same time a branch of the Soviet Union Socialists and Communists, who had been in support of keeping the Czar and the Royal Family as figureheads in a Socialist/ Communist or Soviet Monarchy, were used to create what they called People’s Monarchies, or Socialist Monarchies/ Communist Monarch Movements and Parties in places with larger Monarchist support suspicious of Socialist and Communist Movements and Parties, like the United Kingdom, Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Belgium. Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hungary or Luxembourg in Europe alone. Such a blend of People’s Republics with a People’s Monarch were also seen as being more encouraging to some of the Monarchies and Noble Houses in Asia, from Persia, Arabia, over India, China, Korea, Japan, Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), Siam and other local places. Not yet paying off the Japanese General Elections of 1928 resulted in the Japanese United Labor Farmers Party (278.646 votes), the Japanese Social Democratic Party (12,044 votes) and the Japanese Farmers Party (44,000 votes) together as the Japanese People’s Coalition (headed by Christian Socialist and Pacifist Abe Iso gained 11 of 466 seats, far fewer then the Rikken Seiyukai (Association of Friends of Constitutional Government with 216 seats) and the Constitutional Democratic Party (with 215 seats) soon being joined by the Japanese People’s Monarchy Party in their Coalition.

Peace in Mexico

One of the most important developments in the eyes of the United States of America and the Soviet Union was the peace agreement in Mexico, known as the Peace and Treaty of Zacatecas, which divided the nation in a southern Communist United People’s States of Mexico Republic (UPSMR) centered in Mexicans City (former Mexico City) and a northern capitalist United States of Mexico (USM) with Monterrey as it’s capital. While the Soviet Union saw the USM as an American puppet, the Americans had similar views on the UPSMR and the United People’s States of Central America, the Central American People’s Federation. Meanwhile in Japan, the government, supported by the military, cracks down hard upon socialist and communist parties and movements, arresting over 1,000 people for conspiracy against the Japanese Empire, Tenno and Japanese People. Meanwhile in Wangist China, the warlord Shi Yousan burns down the Henan Shaolin Monastery, destroying priceless artifacts and ancient structure in an attempt to purify the people from the past in which the Emperor, Aristocracy and Priests had held them down to rule over them, the Incident itself leads to a growing resistance against the new government in Monasteries, Shrines and Temples, the silent meditation protests by the priesthood and in return the Wangist Response known as the Cultural and Religious Revolution, in which those religious movements opposing the new government are banned and persecuted, while those supporting it are backed and protected to fill their spiritual role. As a result many religious groups join openly with the Nationalist Kuomintang and other rebels and Henan becomes a new core center of their guerrilla activities. While Charles Lindberg receives the Medal of Honor for the first ever transatlantic flight, the Egyptian Islamic Scholar and Schoolteacher Hassan al.Banna founds the Muslim Brotherhood. When the old Canaanite city of Ugarith is accidentally rediscovered, immense excavations in the area begin.

Socialist Workers on the Rise

The support for the Wangist Chinese People’s Republics, especially in overall food and medical support, but equally also military advisers and volunteers, who instructed their Chinese counterparts to lessen down on the crackdown on the religious elements, just like they had done to the Russian ones, prevented many unnecessary actions and calmed down many rebels, who had joined up against Wang, because they were members of local Chinese folk religions, temples, priest families, or regional cults and sects with rather fanatic members. Not all of them however would easily give up and some continued the fight and openly joined the Kuomintang Rebellion instead, especially in the South. In Central America meanwhile, negotiations for a Central American Hispanic People’s Union failed, because both Mexicans and Southern Central Americans mistrusted one another and feared each other being dominated by their allies more then any American backed anti-socialist and anti-communist rebels or other forces. In the United States meanwhile the primary elections in Chicago and Illinois resulted in escalated assassination attempts, bombings and violence, that kills the two local politicians Octavius C. Granady and Giuseppe Esposito. Democrats and Republicans blame one another, as well as bribing, industrial and Mafia connection across the board.

While Republican candidate Otis F.Glenn wins the elections with around 1,500,000 votes in comparison to the 1,300,000 votes for his democrat opponent A. J. Cermak, the coalition of Socialists, Socialists Labor and Workers, the Socialists, Workers, Labor and Trade Union Coalition of George Ross Kirkpatrick, Max Bedacht and G. A. Jenning archives to gather around 175,000 votes themselves, or roughly 6.1 percent of the vote of overall 2,927,000 people. While not victorious, or even major, it proved the bulwark of Democrats and Republicans especially among the workers of the Steel Belt was not as impenetrable, as previously believed and many Trade Unions were left leaning, with connections to the Socialist, Labor and Workers Parties in the area, which proved they could work together for a common goal. In Italy a bomb nearly kills the Italian Fascist Leadership, leaving a total of 17 Fascist supporter bystanders death, while the Dublin started, first East-West transatlantic flight occurs to Greenly Island Canada aboard the Bremen, a German Junkers W 33. An Earthquake in Chirpan, Bulgaria kills 130 people and destroys over 21,000 buildings, after being followed by a second one in Plovdiv four days later. A week later Greece is hit my an Earthquake of maximal intensity in Corinth as well, killing 20 and leaving 3,000 homeless, even causing a tsunami.

Global Worker’s Unity

The planned support for the Socialists, Socialists Labor and Workers, Trade Unions; the Socialists, Workers, Labor and Trade Union Coalition was not supported by the majority of the Soviet Union and it’s leadership, which was why the support for the Socialists, Socialists Labor and Workers Parties and Trade Unions and a potential union of them was split rather down the middle and the reason why no clear route was taken of yet. At the same time the Fujian incident saw heavy clashes in an armed conflict with Han Republican China, allied to the Soviet Union and the southeastern army Kuomintang rebels in the province of Fujian. Meanwhile in the United Kingdom, the voting age in the Passage of the Representation of the People Act is lowered from 30 to 21 with woman and man having equal suffer age starting in July 2nd. Thanks to General Electric's television station W2XB, known also as WGY Television, after its sister radio station WGY, the first regular scheduled television program begins to send in Schenectady, New York. Like with newspapers and radio before, the Soviet Union believes that anti-capitalist mass propaganda might be spread trough such devices. At the same time Disney Studios Los Angeles released the animated short Plane Crazy, which featured the first appearance of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, later stables of a conservative American family and citizen picture in propaganda movies against the Soviet Union, as well as American Socialists and Communists. While Buenos Aires in Argentina sees a bomb attack on the Italian consulate that injures 43 and kills 22, a day later the Italian airship Italian crashes on the North Pole, leading to the Italian general Umberto Nobile being stranded, which results in a rescue mission expedition that would arrive a weak later, with many loosing their lives in search for the survivors as well, among them Roald Amundsen. While in the first Indianapolis 500 he partakes in rookie driver Louis Meyer wins and will do so again in 1933 and 1936, his fame and glory rose. Meanwhile the new flag of the Republic of South Africa, which in the future would become known as the apartheid flag. The overall idea of local ethnic, racial and religious tensions, as much as class and social one was viewed by the Soviet Union as potential avenues of attacks against a local ideology, government and nation that dared to oppose them and the workers of the world.

1928 Summer Olympics

As the Soviet Union agreed that any support of workers parties and movements, also attempting to exploit class, social, ethnic, racial and religious tensions in other nations, which some saw as immensely dangerous, because of some of the ethnic, racial and religious tensions and movements, to some extent smaller, or larger also existed within the Soviet Union itself. As a result the individual nations targeted, would be keep on an individual bases, depending how the Soviet Union best saw fit to deal with them and to exploit their overall internal division and separations, especially as the overall goal of the Soviet Union was an overall global workers paradise for all. As a result dividing certain nation states, or engulfing them in Civil Wars, even when they were enemies, was not always in the best interest of the Soviet Union and it’s global interest itself, but not all things could be easily controlled and some actions taken were more risky then others. Still if not pushed to far, some of this internal divisions could be exploited to weaken the enemies of the Soviet Union quit well. While in Scotland Glasgow, the first color television is demonstrated by John Logie Baird, a week later in Chillicothe sells the first machine, which can slice and wrap bread. The assassination of the President of Mexico in the northern United States of Mexico, by a local Anarchist Philippe de Castille Gayoso leads to a time of banditry (basically local provincial warlords) taking over a fragmented North Mexican Nation State. The Southern Socialists, Communists and Syndicalist wish to use this weakness to incorporate Mexico in their Nation State and drive out the United States of America, but US Army troops in Northern Mexico mean any such move is a risk of provoking direct war with the United States at the moment. Meanwhile the 1928 Summer Olympics see the first debut of woman in athletics and gymnastics and the Polish discus thrower Halina Konopacka becomes the first female Olympic Gold Medal winner, much to the proud of the threatened and diminished Polish Nation State and Government. With this Olympic Games the American Capitalism in form of Coca-Cola enters Europe as a sponsor and begins to spread faster then ever before, leading some in the Soviet Union to call for a equal Soviet Product as the West needed to competed and outclassed by the East in every potential cultural, social, economical and technological category possible to prove the superiority of the Soviet Union over the United States and Western European Democracies and Monarchies.

North Mexican Anarchy Zone

In what many now called the North Mexican Anarchy Zone, the local aid for Socialist and Communist Bandits and Warlords was supported secretly by the Soviet Union, so to not outright start a War with the United States of America by a more direct Mexican Invasion Northwards. The overall Durango Region itself became a hot-spot of anarchy and chaos in most of North America. Known as the Durango Free Territory, it also became a hot-spot of smuggling and espionage between the United States and the Soviet Union in North America. In the Soviet Union meanwhile the Sugar Greenhouses created a new product to oppose both the Coca Cola from the United States, as well as Vodka, who was such a popular drink it could endanger the Soviet People’s Healthcae so much it was drunken. As a result the Soviet Union supported the new Soviet Kola in response, with various companies, like Soyuz Kola, Krasnaya Kola, Soviet Kola, as well as Commune Cola (with the mascot Comrade Cola, whose white top in posters was shown as a Soviet Ushanka with a Red Star, while the Bottle itself was vaguely humanoid, who soon would become one of the most famous ones). While Italy and Ethiopia sign the Italo-Ethiopian Treaty. In Washington meanwhile Serial killer Carl Panzram was arrested in Washington D.D. found guilty of burglary, murders, rapes and other major crimes as well later on. Meanwhile in the United States the US presidential election of 1928 was the first simultaneously broadcast by WGY/ W2XB on radio and television. With the Soviet Union backing the Socialist and Communist bandits, gangs and movements in the North or Mexico, a region some Mexican Nationalists called Aztlan, but at the same time general banditos and gangs already resulted the in the United States border forces being involved in the region whenever these groups crossed the border into the United States and raided American border towns. As the result the Americans also backed the creation of buffer and puppet nation states within the Rio Grande Republic, the Chihuahua Republic and the Sonora Republic.

The Albanian People

When the former President of the Albanian Republic, Ahmet Zogu declares himself to the a monarch, King Zog, of a new constitutional monarchy, the Albanian Kingdom, several Socialists and Communist from Albania call upon the Soviet Union for aid to topple Zog/ Zogu and establish an Albanian People’s Republic instead. With Albania having access to the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean, supporting them might actually be of vital interest for Moscow and the Soviet Union. Nearby Fascist Italy also becoming more and more political, economic and militarily influential in Albania itself is yet another reason why the Soviet Union can not stand idle by and let the Fascists gain more influence and control over the Balkan region. In the same week, the first all-electronic television system, using electronic scanning in both the pickup and display devices is demonstrated by Philo Farnsworth in San Francisco, while in New York the first television melodrama The Queen's Messenger, on General Electric's W2XAD from Schenectady is broadcast in Buffalo, utilizing techniques created by Ernst Alexanderson. After hearing about these news, many inside the Soviet Union Argue, they needed to focus on their own similar developments of radio and television to be on pair with the West and one day surpass it. A week later the Okeechobee hurricane hits Guadeloupe and kills 1,200 people, before reaching Florida and killing another 2,500 people there as well. Another major discovery in that months would come from England, were in the St Mary's Hospital, London the Scottish-born microbiologist Alexander Fleming accidentally rediscovers the antibiotic which he will call Penicillin. The British/ English Government and later Military would show great interest in any potential mass-production, but also would keep the new medicament out of the hands of potential enemies of theirs, keeping the origin and ways of mass producing a tight secret until the next Great War/ World War, when they would share it at least with some of their closest allies.

Albanian People’s Rebels and Republic

With the majority of the Soviet Union viewing the coup of Ahmet Zogu coup as illegitimate and in violation of International Law with diplomats protecting at the League of Nations, the British and French were also concerned with the Albanian situation, but mostly with keeping it out of Italian hands, which was why they backed Zogu, as long as he would oppose Italian ambitions. Local Albanian socialists and communists found shelter in the Soviet Union, as well as Yugoslavia and Greece alike. Secretly some of these overall socialist and communist guerrilla, partisan and rebel groups in Albania, who mainly concentrated along the Yugoslavian and Greece border regions and mountains. The Comintern therefore officially backed Albania diplomatically, but unofficially did so much more directly, including sending arms, ammunition's and volunteers to the Albanian Comrades. The so called Albanian Revolution therefore began, while the Soviet Union itself tried it’s best to invent and advance their own Eastern Block without simply copying and surpassing the Western Powers, as they had done in the past. To do so some more isolated towns and research facilities were needed with most of them being build in Siberia, with new roads and railways needing to be build to most of them, as they were rather isolated. At the same time to combat and beat the Western Imperial Colonial Powers, by introducing the Five Year Plan to further modernize farming and industries in the Soviet Union. While Sweden gains a right-wing Foreign Minister in Ernst Trygger, Meanwhile in China, the democratic, republican, national, Kuomintang and other rebels declare a United Front against the Chinese People’s Republic, declaring their new leader the Generalissimo, in opposition to the Chairman or Empire of the Chinese nation states they rivaled. Meanwhile, with the establishment of the International Red Cross Movement, some in the Soviet Union fearing potential Western and Christian influences and symbolism by it call for the creation of a similar organization for the Soviet Union and it’s allies that is completely under their own control.
