French armies were moved south while academies and railroads were built.

"My friends, I have a fear to share with you."
The people below whispered amongst themselves, looking up at their grand leader.  Not a few years past, the same man had seemed optimistic for the future, fresh from the revolution.  But now... fear?  Since when had Luka Kozlov ever been afraid?
"The armies of the capitalist Hansa arm at our very doorstep.  I fear they seek to claim our great land for their own."
That shook them, their murmurings growing louder, more concerned.
"I fear that they will attempt to enslave us again, as the czar did!  I fear they will clamp the iron chains of their wealth around our necks, drive us to work, to starve, to die in their names!"
The murmuring had turned to calls of anger, to shouts of rage.  Death to the bourgeoisie!  Death to the oppressors!
"But we shall take the fight to them, first!  We shall defeat their corrupt rulers, and set their people free from the shackles which bind them!"
A roar of approval went up.  Some broke out in song, the[/i] Internationale rising above the square as people filed away, and as the Chairman nodded in approval.  Soon, yes, their brothers in Scandinavia would be free.

Accept Research Treaty from France.
Declare War on the Hanseatic Capitalist Republik.
Military Movement:
Move 1 Army from 11 to 6, seize territory.
Move 1 Army from 10 to 7, seize territory.
Move 1 Army from 13 to 10.
Provincial Improvement:
Build Academy at 13.
Build Fortification at 10.
Build Fortification at 14.
Build Fortification at 6.

[Haspen]

The revolutionary armies of the common people rushed through Norway and ended taking Stockholm thanks to the railroads of the enemies.

64
North Sweden remains with Hanseatic Republik!

86
Denmark remains with Hanseatic Republik!

65
North Finland remains with Hanseatic Republik!

With Denmark harboring strong support for the government, Hanseatic leaders escaped to Copenhagen, making it temporary capital of the shattered nation.

While chaos ravaged the Republik, academies and fortifications were constructed to ensure the power of USSR.

"War approaches our lands. We need you to head the military."
"If I shall do so--let all soldiers under my command treat the enemy and their civilians as they would treat themselves. No war crimes; employ military investigators within the ranks and reporters at the front. And somewhat, allow the media to share stories of both sides--bad and good, instead of primarily the former."

"Spain requires demilitarization, after all the troubles their pirates have caused our waters. Launch the fleets--Britain shall rule the waves."

Fleet docked at #2, cast off to the North Atlantic.
Fleet stationed at the N. Atlantic, head to the Mid Atlantic.

Orders were relayed and more ships were launched into the seas around British Isles. Only slight amount of work was put into miitary infrastructure; most of the construction projects, in teh ways of academy and railroads, were gifts to the citizenry.

[Comatose]

Spoiler: Transcript of Statthalter Albrecht von Hambourg's emergency address to the Federal Parliament of the Hanseatic Republic (click to show/hide)

"Herr Sprecher, Esteemed Members of Parliament and, indeed, all citizens of the Hanseatic Republik of Schleswig-Holstein and the Scandinavian Territories:

Not a fortnight has passed since February 2nd, 1900 - a date which will live in infamy - the Hanseatic Republik was suddenly and deliberately attacked by armed forces of the USSR.

The Hanseatic Republik was at peace with that nation, and was still looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Baltic.

It will be recorded that the manner and rapidity at wich the Soviets attacked makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many weeks or even months ago.

This heinous attack and occupation of the Province of Norway and Central Sweden has caused severe damage to Hanseatic military capabilities. I regret to tell you that very many Hanseatic lives have been lost.

These Soviet villains dare to cite our efforts to better protect the Swedish citizens of the republic as justification to war. I tell you, the citizens of our Republic, that we will not give in to the rapacious demands of tyranny. Our Esteemed Allies, France and Prussia, along with any nation who holds such actions in contempt, stand together to beat away the Soviet threat!"

[The Hanseatic Parliament stands in applause]

"General Fruehauf, why do we still have troops deployed in North Sweden?"
"Mein Statthalter, we still need to defend-"
"Defend? Are you dumb as well as blind? We are facing an existential threat, the likes of which we have not encountered since the First Scandinavian War!"
"The matter is very grave, but we can't dismiss caution."
"Caution be damned! I would sooner have the Republik razed to the ground, our fields salted, and every man, woman and child killed than serve under the same beasts who expelled our forebears from the Novgorod Kontor!" Albrecht paused for a moment, some of the redness leaving his face. "We must stall the Soviet menace until our allies can mobilize. Retake Stockholm! That's an executive order."
"Yes Mein Statthalter."

Call France to arms against the USSR
Call Prussia to arms against the USSR
Petition the British Empire for Military assistance against the USSR

Move 1 Navy from Baltic to Sound Toll
Move 2 Armies from #9 to #7
Move 1 Army from #51 to #7

Deconstruct Fortification in #9
Deconstruct Railroad in #9
Deconstruct Railroad in #8
(If deconstructing Railroads aren't permitted in the same turn that an army passes over them, construct a Port and Fortification in #51 instead)

[Haspen]

The fleet ventured to Skaggerak, after the admiral decided that 'Sound Toll' was just badly written name of Denmark's straits.

The orders were clear - retake Southern Sweden! The armies of the Hanse swiftly ventured into the region and utterly crushed the socialist force that was apparently not prepared for such swift and furious retaliation. The heaviest fighting were done in the Stockholm and its harbors, leading these to ruination.

Hanseatic Republik (+0) vs USSR (+3):
6 vs 2+3
USSR Army destroyed!
Port razed!

Then, construction and demolition orders came to engineers, who simply had not enough manpower to fulfill all orders in one month. Thusly, railroads in North Sweden were demolished and forts in North Finland deconstructed, while Copenhagen managed to furnish its Port.

With old Capital retaken, the government was able to move behind the still standing fortifications of South Sweden and reassure the survival of the Republic.

[Taricus]

The pasts month's events had startled the prussian wehrmacht. The russians attacking one of their allies, and the swedes brutally pushing the russians out of stockholm with an unheard-of brutality done to the soviet infantry.

Of course, the affairs of distant nations were far less pressing than the military build-up of the HRE. Between the precarious position they had, and the fact the HRE would only ever get stronger now that the USSR had gone off the rails meant that drastic actions had to be committed to ensure the survival of prussia.

The rise of the Italians had been opportunistic to the prussian leaders. sensing the opportunity, they sent a few envoys to propose a pact between the two nations.

De-construct the railroad at 18 and 44.
Build fortifications at 43 and 45

Honour the Hanseatic republik's call to arms, breaking all treaties with the USSR and summarily declaring war upon the treacherous socialists.
Offer the Mediterranean league with full offers; Both research and trade agreements, along with the offer of alliance.
Declare war upon the HRE
Offer a formal alliance to the British Empire

Move 1 army from 44 to 45
Move 1 army from 43 to 45
Move 1 army from 45 to 46

Attack 50 with three armies from 46
Attack 49 with one army from 45

[Haspen]

The Prussian commanders were baffled by the orders. 'First move into Silesia and then try to get all the way to Germany? Das ich not possible!' And it wasn't.

In the end, only two out of four armies managed to attack the HRE positions in Northern Germany. The fighting was tense and bloody, but ultimately the Imperial forces prevailed.

Prussia (+1) vs Holy Roman Empire (+0):
2+1 vs 4
Prussian army destroyed!

Prussia (+1) vs Holy Roman Empire (+0):
5+1 vs 2
Imperial army destroyed!

Prussia (+1) vs Holy Roman Empire (+0):
3+1 vs 6
Prussian army destroyed!

Then, the western borders were fortified while railroads were dismantled in the eastern Prussia to prevent a fast retaliatory strikes.

Mediterranean League agrees to all of proposed treaties.

Maybe you mean 36 to 39? Because this leave your capital open.

[Kashyyk]

I mean what I posted. I have an alliance with the HRE, so no war is being declared.

Hungarian forces moved about, as engineers made sure to erect new academies and fortifications.

~~Turn 3 (March 1900)~~

Event roll: 38
Event type: #4, Rebellion
Province roll: #67
Sicily rises in Rebellion against Mediterranean League!

Holy Roman Empire:

Shock have passed and Emperor Leopold IV was out of bed. Together with his generals, he attempted to squish multiple problems at once.

First and foremost, two batallions were to attack Turin and Venice, to wrestle them from League's hands and establish a foothold in Italy. Unfortunately, the mountainous terrain plus heavily fortified perimeter became graveyard for many Imperial soldiers.

Holy Roman Empire (-1) vs Mediterranean League (+2):
4-1 vs 5+2
Imperial army destroyed!

Holy Roman Empire (-1) vs Mediterranean League (+2):
4-1 vs 6+2
Imperial army destroyed!

Then, armies reinforced the Northern Germany to hopefully deter further Prussian assault. However, full retaliation and conquest of the invading nation was ordered. Eastern European units entered Lithuania without a shot fired, but it was very obvious to their commanders that next time there will be a battle, possibly one impossible to conduct and win.

Spanish troops have been moved to Valencia, where a harbor has been constructed.

Emperor has ordered for the railroad line to be extended into Ukraine, as the Crimean forces have been recalled to aid the Empire against Prussia and Mediterranean League.

By the end of the week, the harbor and railroad extension were flagged as completed.

Holy Roman Empire would like to ask its neighbour and ally Hungary if they could help deal with either Prussia or Mediterranean League in some way.

Mediterranean League:

Armies were recalled from south and west of the Italian Peninsula to help establish a military HQ near Venice.

Then, entire two armies were sent across the water to assault and retake Sicily... and the Mediterranean soldiers failed spectacularly!

Mediterranean League (-1) vs Sicilian Rebels (+0):
2-1 vs 3
League army destroyed!

Mediterranean League (-1) vs Sicilian Rebels (+0):
1-1 vs 4
League army destroyed!

Crete has been fortified and the planned HQ at the outskirts of Venice has been constructed.
