    The Finnish government releases all the Mäntsälä rebellion prisoners.

    The Finnish president Kyösti Kallio briefly commented on the decision: “Our investigations on the "rebellion" have come to the conclusion, that the heads of the Lapua Movement did not give any kind of order for a rebellion against the government. The “rebellion”, that happened six years ago, was a chaotic discharge of frustration by a group of people, some members of the Lapua Movement and some not, towards the admittedly sluggish attempts to solidify our dear and divided nation after the Red Rebellion. The poorly informed members of the government had feared for this sudden, but still inevitable protest to become violent and hastily and admittedly rushed to react to this event. Lapua Movement is no more, and a few years ago they reformed as the IKL and even more recently appointed a more calm, but still diligent new leader. All the good citizens of our dear country want to hold on to our Finnish and Christian traditions, and to accomplish this, we have to turn our divided country into a close-knitted people, just like the Baltic States recently have done so. Keeping in jail the members of the old Lapua Movement isn’t doing any good to our cause.”

    New constitution!
    Due to the long period of troubles within the government of the Kingdom, His Majesty decided to enact a new constitution! The Constitution of 1938 makes sure that His Majesty Carol II of Romania is the head of the State (Article 30), ruling the legislative power, trough the National Representatives, who are divided in two separate assemblies : The Senate, and The Assembly of Deputies. The King promulgates or sanctions the laws (Article 31). The executive power is entrusted to the King, who exerts it trough His Government or by the Constitution (Article 32). The judiciary power is carried out by its organs, being executed in His Majesty's name (Article 33). All citizens, no matter the ethnic, racial or religious differences must fulfill their duties towards the State, considering the motherland the most important part of their lives, to sacrifice themselves defending its integrity and to contribute by their work to uplift the morale and the economic prosperity of the country (Article 4).


    New Prime Minister
    Due to the recent events and the enactment of the new constitution, Patriarch Miron Cristea will be appointed as the New Prime Minister by His Majesty, effective immediately.

    "Enige og tro inntil Dovre faller"

    Commissioning of Seven New Ships
    The Ministry of Defense announced today the commissioning of seven new ships for the Royal Norwegian Navy. Christian Monsen, Minister of Defense, stated, "The addition of these new ships comes in an effort not just to modernize the Navy, but to energize the economy by enlisting an additional 400 sailors as well as 5,000 labourers to complete the construction of these ships." Sources inside the Ministry report that the new ships will be 2 DDGs, 4 PCs, and 1 SS, but no official report has come from the Ministry yet. A spokesperson has said that the christening of the ships will occur shortly after the construction begins, which is set to occur by the end of the week.

    Oslo and Kristiansand Airports Receive Additional Funding & Manpower

    The airports in Oslo and Kristiansand, which have been under construction for four and two years respectively, have been approved to receive additional funding and manpower in order to finish the last stretch of construction. The decision comes as another initiative by the government to expand the economy, and government members have already reached out to numerous airlines about their interest. The Oslo airport will open up 3,400 more jobs, and the Kristiansand airport will open up 670 more jobs for construction workers. One additional 800M runway alongside the three already planned runways will be added to the Oslo airport. The Government predicts that this will allow both airports to finish work by September, and open before the end of the year.

    "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"


    France Agrees to Swiss Request for Non-Aggression

    The French government would be more than happy to sign a pact of non-aggression with our close neighbour of Switzerland. During an open meeting, yesterday, the president said "For the past four hundred years our two nations of France and Switzerland have had strong diplomatic ties but moreover strong cultural ties. I personally hope to see our nations continue on this positive spiral for the many hundreds of years to come."


    Concern Over Spanish Republic and Portuguese Alliance

    The French government has been deeply disturbed by Portugal's willingness to ally with state currently deeply embroiled in a civil war and dare I say it, a fight for its very existence.In the eyes of the government this alliance will only further destabilize the fragile peace in europe. The government hereby issues an ultimatum.
    Both parties are to, within the next month, dismantle their alliance or face harsh reprisals from the nation of France.


    Force des Pyrénées

    With events in Spain seemingly not coming to a close any time soon and with recent events further escalating the issue the government has decided to go ahead with a large scale garrison project on our border with Spain. This force is meant to be cycled with the current 20,000 troops already stationed on the border with Spain. 100,000 troops who have recently been through re-training exercises are being readied to be stationed to the border with Spain. As aforementioned this troops will be stationed to the border to monitor the current situation and now to also aid the refugees who are fleeing into France to escape the conflict.
    100,000 troops are to be garrisoned around the towns of Toulouse, Carcassonne and Perpignan.

    Yugoslavia denounces French ultimatum.

    His Majesty believes the recent French ultimatum is not only most hypocritical, but dangerous. The recent alliance between Portugal and the Spanish Republic is unfortunate, but foreign intervention by a great power will only draw the other great powers further into the war. The movement of further French forces to the Spanish border is also most disturbing. The Spaniards are already in a fight for their very lives. They would not attack France in the midst of such a crisis. The entire continent would sleep easier if they were recalled immediately.

    Air industry overhaul. Creation of Ikarus.

    Today Prime Minister Milan Stojadinović announced a massive reworking of Yugoslavia's air industry and the VVKJ. The air industry companies FAK, Zmaj, and Rogožarski have all been merged into Ikarus. Ikarus will receive direct material, financial, and personnel support from the government. The government plans to create at least 1,500 new jobs in the air industry, and a search for talented aircraft designers and engineers has begun all across Europe. All existing production facilities are to be improved and expanded and a new facility is to be constructed in Tuzla. Production is to be streamlined by using as few different engine, gun, and equipment models as possible. To help streamline production further, the VVKJ has retired and sold 16 models of aircraft. The proceeds of which have gone towards supporting the air industry expansion. Besides for FAK and Utva, each factory will now be producing one type of aircraft exclusively.
    The Prime Minister hopes this initiative will put our air industry on the map.

    "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer!"



    Germany Welcomes the Soviet Ambassador
    Germany in the spirit of peace welcomes the Soviet Ambassador Molotov with open arms and will be assigning him a counterpart to bring our nations closer together. Ambassador Von Ribbentrop will coordinate with the Soviet Ambassador going forward.

    Germany Supports France in the Wish that Portugal Remain Neutral
    Germany agrees with France that the Spanish CIVIL War be left between the internal parties involved. Germany does not wish to see this conflict spreading through systems of alliances like the Balkan issues that started The Great War. We do not currently demand that Portugal tear down their alliance but do issue a strong protest to ANY meddling in what we believe to be a fight for self-determination within a sovereign nation. All European nations have gone through these wars to forge themselves into the nations we are today, (perhaps except Yugoslavia due to them being slapped together out of Austro-Hungary) and unless the fighting spills over Germany sees no reason to interfere in the Spanish peoples struggle. Let them Fight.

    Arms Purchases by Turkey
    Turkey recently purchased a number of tanks from Germany that we were disposing of. Turkey seeing value in German steel bought them off of us last week in what we believe is an effort to modernize their aging military possibly to be used against their own populations or neighbors.


    Germany calls the Volkssturm to the Colors
    Germany seeing the growing instability in Spain, the new networks of alliances forming in the Balkans is beginning to train a "national militia" to help defend the Fatherland against any invaders into her country. Keeping with the Versaillies Treaty, Germany is not expanding her army or navy but is creating a new separate militia branch. As with any Sovereign nation Germany will defend herself no matter what or who may threaten her.

    Germany begins Works Project to modernize our Farming industry
    On orders Direct from the Fuhrer, Germany industry is beginning to ramp up production of tractors, combines, and harvesters to help automate and modernize our flagging agricultural sector, helping to feed our people cheaply and securely so that we may not see hunger again as we have this past decade.

    Germany begins testing for a new Service rifle
    Germany is calling on all manufacturers and private citizens for the design and production of a new service rifle. The current service rifle the Kar98k is nearly identical to the rifle used by our fathers in the Great War, and due to our military size being limited we must make the most out of every soldier. Germany calls for a semi-automatic rifle with at least a ten round capacity that is accurate at up to 500 meters. Anyone with a working design that meets our specifications is asked to apply at Heer Headquarters in Berlin.

    Italy will not recognise any Portuguese alliance with Republican Spain
    Italy does not recognise the Republican regime as the legitimate government of Spain and therefore any pacts made with that body are not considered valid in our eyes. Furthermore, we would warn Portugal that any attempts to take advantage of the Spanish people in terms of territorial gain owing to the present situation would be viewed with grave concern by Italy. Whilst we would always seek a peaceful way forward, Italy is sympathetic to the French ultimatum regarding the security of its own borders.

    Italy dispatches a special representative of Il Duce to Germany to help resolve tensions over Austria
    Whilst we in no way condone interference in the internal affairs of our northern neighbour, it is clear that the Anchluss with Germany is more popular with the Austrian people than we had originally anticipated. In support of the principle of the right of nations to self determination, we are therefore dispatching a special envoy to Germany to discuss points of mutual interest between the newly enlarged Reich and Italy.
