CHAPTER 1:
THE DEATH OF A KING

The Palace of Ottawa
February 3 1936
2:17 PM

Everyone stood silent in front of the bed.

Just 3 minutes ago, King George V finally succumbed to his Cerebral Hemorrhage that he has been suffering since the day he fled to Canada from the fires of the 1925 British Revolution. He pledged to return to the mainland one day and destroy the Red Menace forever. But his health was failing throughout the 1920s and the early 30s. His son, Prince Edward of Windsor, was due to replace him as the King of the British Empire (in exile) and the Dominion of Canada. He weeps silently as he hears the solemn final words of his father.

"God Save The Empire..."

He kept this in mind. He has already prepared for his first speech on radio due for the next day. He wrote his speech through a typewriter in his office for over 3 months before George's demise, as he expected his father's own death. He now believes that the people of Canada and the Entente now looks to him to lead and reclaim their birthright from the false leaders


The House of Lords also held a meeting, and a vote to approve Prince Edward as the heir. It went through without a single abstain. With a majority and approved by the House, Edward prepares for his kingship, and the duties he must face. He must know how to deal with the Syndicalists Internationale and Germany's Reichspakt. He must manage a barely functioning military that has suffered an embarrassing blow, and he must complete what George started.

The following morning, Edward stands triumphant on the balcony of the Palace of Ottawa and proudly delivers his inauguration speech, which electrified the crowd. His loud tenor voice, from Vancouver to St. John, from Toronto to Repulse Bay, everyone heard all Edward's obligations and tasks that he promises to full fill. He ended with his father's last words: God Save The Empire.

The next week, Edward VIII is officially been crowned as the King of the British Empire. Philipp Snowden of the Union of Britain simply laughed at the fact. The Kaiser refused to comment anything, as it was too early to denounce.

Can we ever go home again?

CHAPTER 2:
THE END OF US DEMOCRACY

Washington DC
March 5 1936
4:00 PM

President Herbert Hoover has officially stepped down from being President just 27 hours previously. General Douglas MacArthur and his military junta has officially stepped up to replace the government today. The parties under Huey Long, Jack Reed and Frank Merriam has declared Independence in various States in the Union.

The America First Union Party has declared the American Union State in the South, based in New Orleans. Reed's Syndicalist Party of America declared the American Revolution has begun from Chicago and the Great Lakes. Various Pacific States governors also declared independence to restore democracy to the United States. The official end to Democracy has been declared just 2 hours ago.

For a long time the USA had been under a political crisis since Black Monday. Hoover has been doing horrible, as according to the latest Unionist reports. His political policy has been ineffective and has been spreading turmoil across the nation. Now, the American Civil War has begun, and will decide the future of the country.

Who shall prevail? The Reds? The Autocrats? The Junta? Or the Bastion of Democracy?
 
CHAPTER 3:
Petain's Mission

Algiers, French Republic
March 17 1936

Marshall Philippe Petain, dictator and leader of the exiled French Republic, stared down at the paper he received today from the Canadian Embassy.

It was a letter from King Edward VIII. A very special one to be specific.

The Marshall scanned each sentence carefully, trying to analyze what was the message within.

Dear Mr. Petain,

Good day, sir. I'm writing you this letter to inform you that you are invited to the Entente Conference that will be held in Ottawa next week. All members of our Alliance has also been invited to attend this meeting. The purpose of this affair is to talk about plans to retake our lost birthrights, economical proposals and so much more. I hope you come.
From: Edward VIII

He calmly closed the letter, and grabbed his pen and paper, and started to write a reply. He also stamped the King's letter, meaning that he accepts his proposal. After he wrote the reply, he wrapped it in a clean envelope, and along with the letter, was sent off to the Embassy by his servant.

The Marshall already knew that a conference was going to be held, in response to the International's Congress of The Trade Unions held a month earlier. He was excited, and quickly prepared his things for the event next week. They were finally going to talk about how they will go home.

May God Bless The Entente.
 
CHAPTER 4:
THE CONFERENCE
Ottawa, Dominion of Canada
March 24 1936

Everyone sat silently into their seats as King Edward VIII came into the Conference Hall. He stood proudly on the podium in front of dozens of cameras from the Press that were present to film the entire event. Edward welcomed all the representatives to the event, and talked about some of the topics they'll be discussing. He ended with the Entente's motto: "God Save The Free World" and stepped off.

Everyone clapped as the first representative stood up and went on stage. It was the man from the Dominion of India, David Lahid.

The Indians wanted the Entente to focus on liberating the Indian subcontinent first, as they consider it an easier objective than mainland Europe. He talked about the plans made by the Indian Army on how to retake the entire place. King Edward brought this into his list of things when the liberation actually happens. He ended with a rousing speech to all loyal Indians back home, saying: "God Bless India".

Next on the stage was the French Republic. General Charles De Gaulle discussed Syndicalism in full in his birthright, and the eventual plan to rid it. He also proposes a punishment system for traitors which was real simple: "They are Traitors and must be treated as such". He ended with a hot message to the French Commune, denouncing it's system and way of life.

The representative from Sardinia came next. He discussed plans to liberate the entire Italian peninsula from the Germans and the Reds. He also proposes funding for an Entente superweapons program that was to be funded by all members. Technological investments were also discussed, which were all taken into consideration.

Australasia came next. It took a step back from liberation and discussed a plan to bring democracy back to the nation. Since 1925, it was ruled by an authoritarian dictatorship. On the spot, he declared that election will start next week sharp. A huge applause met him as he finished.

The West Indies Federation refused to come to the Conference due to the ongoing war against Cuba.

What now? What happens next?
 
Alright everyone. I'm doing the American Civil War next! What Side do you want?

I’m partial to Flynn’s CSA, but I doubt an organization that democratic could actually come out of a war that brutal. My vote is for either American Caesar or Pelley’s Coup in a victorious AUS.
 
Why is there a vote to endorse Edward as king?Succession is automatic.

While it is true that Royal Succession is automatic, the House of Lords needs to make sure first if Edward is approved by the government to replace his dad, so a vote takes place

P.S. they review the heir's history and affiliation and activities. If there was a record of suspicious activity, like a plan to kill someone,he would be denied.
 
CHAPTER 5:
REVOLUTION?
Chicago, Combined Syndicates of America
March 30 1936

Jack Reed rode through the crowd holding red flags and the sacred seal of Syndicalism. In his car, he waves out to the workers as he passed. As he arrived on the stage, he was met with a huge roar of cheering and shouting. He was escorted to stage by a group of spies wearing civilian clothing. He went up stage and was met with a huge applause.

"Oppressed Workers of America" he began "I'm here today to officially announced that the Revolution for the Working Class has begun!! A huge roar of shouting took place. This message was being transmitted directly to the Caesar in Washington. It was a declaration that the Socialist revolution has stepped foot on US Soil. A declaration that marked the start of the worker's struggle for power.

"The Red Banner will soon fly over the White House. We will take the fight to the Kingfish and the Caesar!!"

"Our Revolution is glorious as it can be! We will win, for our families!! Remember what Lenin said: Peace, Land and Bread!!" A huge cheer went up. He went down the stage, got into his car, and rode away to the Chicago Capitol.

The Scarlet Banner soon flies. Arise all workers, for we shall strike on April 11!!


 
Chapter 6:
The End of German Hegemony
Berlin, German Empire

A tragedy has struck the German economy, rendering it to be broke.

The already sinking economy of the tired and exhausted German Empire has stopped sinking..... it PLUNGED. The people panic in the streets, not knowing what to do next. It didn't took long for workers to compute the aftermath of what was now known as Black Monday. The Kaiser and Parliament has called an emergency meeting today at the Reichstag to figure out ways to resolve this crisis. Wilhelm II imposed a new policy of Imperial Restructuring to calm the situation and help to find out what really happened. It was the worse economic disaster in Europe to this day, and the one that finished German Dominance in the World Stage. Hohenzollern's rule had ended, for now.

This economic disaster would also strike Germany's puppets and reliants in the Reichspakt. The Netherlands, Flanders Wallonia and others were hit hard. Eventually, it would spread around the world. The world market now looks to the other largest stock market: Wall Street. It was barely functioning as intended, as the rising tensions between politicians and Civil War inevitable affected its own operation. MacArthur personally looked over Wall Street's operations. If this fails too, then it's the beginning of the Great Plunge of the Economy. Everyone prays for Wall Street's survival.

Wilhelm's rule ends, and maybe a new one begins?
