With this new Czech design on the way, Zastava Group, Ikarus and Bratishka DF soon take concepts from this design to design newer, more advanced light tank designs for the Czechs, based on a down-scaled ZS-25.1 design, in concert and cooperation with Skoda to produce a tank design that works for the Czechs. As well, Bratishka DF begins a bid to Skoda to replace their turret design and turret ring with a "More Slavic stylized" turret, so that a more proper traverse and elevation system can be mounted, so that larger guns can be properly handled within the turret.

The government of Germany is outraged at the threats of occupation coming from France, and would remind them as to the existence of the Rhineland pact.

As for any "German France wall" Our forces have been constructing defences between our nations for the last several years, and see no reason to build a physical wall.

So soon after the 1922 experiments, a group of various Serb, Bosnian, Croatian and Bulgarian scientists conduct a similar test involving radio receivers and transmitters. Determining the result was in fact correct. Furthermore, they find as well that making the receivers less sensitive to radio makes them better at determining the distance between the receiver and transmitter. They propose a sea safety measure to the Navy and Coast Guard; that all ships have these tuned-down receivers and transmitters in order to more accurately gauge distance and collision warning between ships with said safety feature. All receivers will broadcast on extremely low band channels with a constant beeping - this is perfect for alerting other sea captains of proximity. As the beeping gets more clear, the proximity warning indicates a closer distance.

A vote is held on whether this new tech should be incorporated into all ships as a safety measure(with significant coast guard explanation and support).
Another vote is held on whether or not to create a state-owned research and development team for civilian technology.

The 8000 metric tonnes of steel are rounded off and then stacked aboard the rear flat cars of the 1st shock armys armored train. they request passage to the Rhineland to the Hispano-Suzia and the Hispano-Aleman plants 1C and 4A.

The Romanian government reiterates that the treaty, since it was signed with the allied and central powers, must be done through the League of Nations. Since it must involve them either way, and independent negotiations will not be recognized, the League of Nations is the best body in place to ensure safe moderation and bipartisanship during the peace process. That said, the Romanian delegation graciously accepts the offer, and sends a delegation, along with King Ferdinand I and his son, Miachel I, to Belgrade.

A military parade is soon after held in Bucharest, showcasing Romania's new lend-leased equipment and army forces.

Gothic Square, Barcelona.


15 Communist Sympathisers are publicly executed in the square.

Piłsudski himself goes to meet the German reps in Danzig. He takes with him his new plans for the independent state outlying that the state will have a vote separated into districts of 50,000 people. This vote will ask these people who they identify with, Polish heritage, or Germanic heritage. Once the numbers are received and the districts determined to be Polish or Germanic, a second vote will occur! In this vote the people of the Free State of Danzig will choose to wether join with their ethnic nations or stay independent. In this, however, is a contract stating that if the vote passes and should Danzig flip to Germany; Poland is guaranteed %10 of the Danzig dockyard and that any Polish citizens in the city get a joint passport between both Germany and Poland. 

Once in the meeting with the Germanic representatives, Piłsudski would propose this deal that will hopefully end this Danzig debate once and for all. 

Upon further consideration, this post has been voted down and removed. We will not have depleted uranium shells in 1927. However, that said, I am totally fine with investments into this a few updates down the line- Nobody's started a nuclear program yet, and I don't mean to be a killjoy. I simply want to stick with the realism of the time. -GM

Euskaludna Steel, Research Lab 1A

Uranium Ore. A Stable mix of observable minerals Pitchblende and a little bit of Autunite and Torbernite. The rock is radioactive, giving off harmful rays as it sits and slowly crumbles. most of the lab techs realized this and they wear thick canvas overalls and goggles and masks. the miners however had almost all died due to exposure. the week following the discovery of the seam, precautions had been taken. the mine shaft entrances had been sealed almost instantly. trapping at least 40 workers in the irradiated holes. an unknown amount of the element lies in the deepest recesses of the mine and no sooner than the lab techs had finished the analysis, 4 men from the CNFP arrived at the doors. they escorted the scientists to black chrysler coupes outside. at the mine, a platoon of the CNG was posted to avoid any other people being exposed.
The men from the lab were brought into the cars and not told where they were headed. an hour later they arrived at the Barcelona parliament. and as they were hurried inside, they found themselves in a room with Marshall Ferran D. Vahlen and Marshall Sergi .M Rojas. alongside the two generals there was the el lider himself. Carmacho turned to the men as they took seats at the table.

"Gentlemen, i understand our industrial workers have made a discovery. one of grave importance."

Rojas spoke next
"The minerals you find in that mine, they are ten times more valuable than the steel you find there. and you have proven they are deadly. the week you have been studying the rocks, you ave found several disturbing properties yes? lets see"
He flips through a large folder with reports and lab-work as well as more of the distorted photos and writing.
"Isotopic properties, damaging short and long term affects to humans and 100% of other cell based life forms. cells and tissue, eyes and brains. mice exposed to a powdered enviroment suffered considerably during the experiments course?"
"Yes, we believe the rocks to be of grave radiological and isotopic importance."
Carmacho spoke up
"Grave importance indeed. you see, we understand the rudimentary basis of radiation, the simplistic application in X-ray and photographic documentation. however this 'Uranium' is a very different problem."
Vahlen added while reading the lab mouse report
"with this many workers dying after simply being around it, and this being a elementaly impure mineral; what would the effects be if we purposley exposed a human population to a powdered form of uranium that has been refined?"
The Scientists looked shocked and appaled at the question
"who would deserve to endure such suffering? this discovery is very important. we need to think of the saftey of others and of the enviroment first!"
Carmacho looked at them. 
"Our safety, yes. ineed. but what about the saftey of our enemies? those that wish harm upon us? as a nation? as a people?"
they looked perplexed 
"What of them, nations army and men at arms and implements of war serve to maintain our saftey."
he stared 
"they deserve no safety."
he turned to Rojas
"As Marshall Rojas is the head of weapons development for the Catlan armed forces, i will be putting him in charge of studying and developing this danger into a benefit."
the looks of shock returned
"We cannot weaponize this, it would be devastating, inhumane! this is clearly a danger to man!"
Carmacho turned back
"Exactly why we it so soon"
the marshalls looked at them
"there is a ESK steel plant in the north west, you will have a compliment of workers and other scientist and military engineers. we have informed the engineers from Elizaldia and Hispano-Aleman to accompany you. the location will have everything you need. a hydroelectric generator near the river, and the mine and steel plant in the side of a mountain. we trust you will find a way to keep the ore flowing from the mine yes? the CNG will have a sealed entrance and enclosed mine carts to bring it up to the surface. we have provided miners with proper equipment to minimize exposure and the smelting facility at the steel plant can take high enough temperatures to refine the ore. this paper says...1132.2 °C? the plant will burn hotter, steel casings and filters for the workers are in place. i can assure you that you will work hard." 
he motions the the CNFP agents standing by the doors.

Days later, Euskaludna Steel plant 48

they blasted the loads of rocks with all the coke and coal they could. adding other secret minerals and camphor logs and constant pressure from the bellows had finally melted the iron ore and granite off the chunks of ore. during the smelting classified ingredients were also added as the furnaces heated. at the bottoms of the furnaces, crucibles with steel mesh filters had sieved out the dust. heavy and a fine powder, the sickly green colored powder was then deposited into steel casings and stacked in a concrete room built into the ground and with a heavy steel door and 3 windows. the workers complained of constant headaches and nosebleeds, but non had died yet. the scientists had been morally opposed to the proscess. "this is no better than packing these shells full of mustard gas or chlorine! have you seen what it does to people!" they exclaimed at CNFP agents hurried them along as they protested and likened it to producing Gas weapons like in the great war. however the week before, a case of the refined powder had been packed into a 225 pound bomb casing. the air force had spared 2 of its italian bought-catlan engined bombers and 1 observer plane. the bombs were dropped and the light powder spread as they detonated. unsure as to the yield, the military observers told the scientists they were to pack the powder into the casings around the center, a ring of uranium around the explosive to maximize the spread of the sickening element. bomb casings and unprimed 41pdr shells sat piled up as the workers slaved to build the worst weapons of war since the gasses of the western front. horrors of nature turned against man and nature.

At the steel plant, work is continued on refining and smelting the ore while the scientist are pressed to research the properties and effects of the mineral. alongside uranium production the production of Chlorine and Mustard gas are also started at the euskaludna steel plant 48 was re purposed. workers brought back and new buildings struck up. bustling with the production of weapons deep in the catalonian mainland at the foot of the mountains. while no actual use for the uranium in the way of direct weapons appication has been found yet, more work into isotopic and radioative study are underway.

A reporter records an off-hand comment made by Pavel Milykov, Chairman of the State Duma about the statement of Sergius. The comment suggested possible corruption in regards to the Orthodox Church and the Tsar.

The current governing body does little to hinder Yosef after his release. Despite criticism, the current government fears the backlash of any actions taken against him, and let him continue his protestations.

Though talks of a ‘Tsaritsyn Manifesto’ arise, the concept never gets off the ground as divisions between leaders of the White faction hinder development of such a document.

Actions taken by the Kadet government have negligible impact in regards to labour laws. Though the Kadet government attempts to gain forward movement in regards to working reform, it claims to be bogged down by allegations of corruption.

As the state of the military continues to deteriorate due to structural inefficiencies which have clearly been highlighted in the aftermath of the Red Revolution and the Russo-Japanese war. There is a clear need to reform the military and under the recommendation of members of the State Council, the government has formed the Russian National Army in aims to become self-sufficient and modernise the military. This coincides with the recent success of growth of industry. With this great forward potential it is aimed to be used to help re-vitalise the Russian military. One area which has recently been experiencing the front of this neglect is the development of the T-18 Light Tank and will receive increased funding (as will most areas of the military) as the Russian budget is revised to fill in holes which need to be filled in for the stability of the nation.
Though self-sufficiency is a clear goal of the changes in the budget, with many potential rising industries being the clear target of it, there is an obvious openness to foreign investment.

Gothic Square Parliament:

President Carmacho and Marshall Vahlen issue a statement after hearing of France's threats.


"We do agree with the need for Germany to pay the war reparations, however as we posses a large sector in Germany, specifically the Rhineland; we will not stand for any occupation or forcible seizure of ANY German goods or currency. Furthermore, any withheld shipments in any regard in the future will be met with full delivery of Catlan Goods to replace the withheld french supplies. 

With Worry in the Rhine, The chief engineer in charge of Catalan industry and presence in Germany orders the next shipment of 200 Coiote tanks and 35 Lobo heavy tanks routed to the border rather than back to Barcelona. 17 of the new mk.III Black Rhino super-heavy tank are also routed to the border regions. all tanks are fueled and armed at the factory and have a crew compliment from reserves stationed in Germany near the Factories and infrastructure. a total of 760 men, including a 10 man officer core are also stationed in the Rhineland, accompanying the new "Rhineland Guard" is General Alejandro Rojas. second in command only to Marshall Vahlen.

IN CATALONIA:

The "Guàrdia D'Ombra" (Shadow Guard") Continues to search and seize any communist sypathisers.

Meanwhile, the Yugoslav Admiralty shows interest in using it's albeit limited budget to purchase several outdated submarines from England and France, as well as purchasing the SMS Kolberg from France as well as the SMS Gorgon from England(as well as enough mm guns to re-arm the Kolberg), to bolster it's current inventory of vessels. These vessels(mostly from pre WWI), will be paid for over a five-year period, so that room in the naval budget can be made for immediate refit of both vessels and the submarines.
