"We will open this briefing by saying the end of the Mexican War is close at hand"

"On Jan 24th American forces advanced on and captured the bridge leading to the last mexican base on the mexican mainland, and the last small stretch of mainland not yet occupied on Jan 26"

"The first step of this push would be to clear out the mexican forces in the town of Colon, just NW of the bridge"
"This step is shown here in the full motion mock-up"



"Once we had taken the City of Colon, we occupied it with national gaurd unts who dug-in there to help protect the flank of the units who would move on the bridge itself"
"ON Jan 14th, the move for the bridge was made"

"The following full motion mock-up shows the battle"


"As the mock-up shows, resistance was heavier than expected and American manpower lost was high.In addition although we managed to clear the bridge of Mexican units, we failed to secure it"
"Failures of recon were mostly to blame here"

"M1A2s were moved in to replace the national guard units from Colon, who now needed to be sent for reppairs and replacements.They encountered heavy resistance from Mexican unit who had re-occupied the area accross the river from the town"
'The fighting was heavy, but the objective of clearing the area and setting up in Colon was accomplished"



"The Mexican forces made small forays back into the area trying to re-establish its hold for the next few days, but all were driven off"



"On Jan 23th, US forces were agian ready to move on the bridge"

"This attack when smoothy and the bridge and the lands beyond were captured by american forces on the 26th of jan"
"Losses were light for American forces but heavy for Mexican forces"

"Estimated losses for America stand at circa 26,000 men, and zero units.
While Mexican losses are estimated at 140 units, and over 72,000 men"


"Unfortunately we will be closing this briefing with the bad news that on Jan 27th,the South American armed forces crossed its border into Mexico and attacked our units dug in there"

"We will give you more information on this once its all been fully evaluated"

"Good night, and rest well"

"Good evening"

"I come before you tonight to tell that a new plan is being put into action that we believe will end the war with Mexico in under 2 months from now"

"Up to this point the Mexican Government has simply run away and re-established itself in a new location.Unfortunately for them, they are out of places to run.The only land still under Mexican control is some small islands in the carribean"

"This new plan will involve a new strategy in which the lives of American service men and women will be put much less at risk"

"We will inform you of it and its success ,or failure, after it has been put in full motion"

"On the matter of the South American attack on our forces, we are pelased to annouce that all South american forces have been repelled at little loss.We are even more pleased to tell you that they have not mounted an attack since , and that American forces are well dug-in and will defeat any aggression directed at them"

"Sadly diplomatic overtures to South America have met with much the same results as had the previous ones with Mexico"

"We are however very confident that South America poses no serious danger to our forces or our country at this time"

"Good night, and sleep well"

'The citizens of these occupied lands are now considered by law Legal Residents ,on american lands.They will as the system allows be able to become citizens,and/or possibly their children after them.The task before them to become a citizen will not be an easy one.It will take years and they will have to show that they truly want it."
'Their decendants will not automatically become citizens, but like their parents will be able to earn citizenship"

"Tonights events were long in coming.The last few days there has been a news and information blackout.This was so we could complete the plan we mentioned a few weeks back"

"Mexican military facilities were destroyed by missiles and bombs safely by these aircraft.As were most remaining Mexican units on those islands"

"Once the islands were clear of mexican units, 2 American Elite Airborne
units were parachuted into the capital,capturing it.They met almost no ressistance.Most of the Mexican Government was captured or killed , the rest went into hiding,and the nation fell"

"Total losses for US forces for the war were circa 26,600 men lost, zero units destroyed.Total losses for the Mexican forces were circa 86,000 men and 168 units destroyed"

"Good afternoon"

"We managed to not have to interrupt your days now for a few months with these press conferences.And as you can tell from your daily lives, things have been going very smoothy."
"This interruption today is more good news, and some mixed news."

"The topic of this press conference dates back to the early days of 2017.In those days Japan found itself at war with china , and slowly being pushed down the penisula by the Chinese forces.In the first days of that war, I was approached by the Red Haired Green Eyed Serving Wenches who had a plan"

"They predicted that Japan would lose their war and suffer greatly, if we did nothing.BUT they had in mind something we could do, without getting ourselves stuck in a 3 way war"

"They proposed that the Red Haired Green Eyed Serving Wenches should set up a front company, one that would be used to funnel goods and supplies to the Nation of Japan.The Red Haired Green Eyed Serving Wenches would create a new corporation and apparel company that specialized in shoes.Shoes which would all be manufactored in and purchased from Japan.The payments for these would be made in the form of American resources and goods that would allow Japan to turn the tide"

"Many people and news organizations marveled at how Japan,first was able to halt its retreat, than slowly force its way back up the Korean Penisula.They further marveled at how Japanese forces than even managed to push into the Chinese mainland.Many called it nothing short of a miracle"

"Well, Im here today to tell you that miracle came not only at the price of the large losses of Japanese lives, but at the huge cost of american goods delivered by Red Haired Green Eyed Serving Wenches , disquised as blondes working for the "Special Secrets Shoe Corporation"

"Due to the great work of the Red Haired Green Eyed Serving Wenches our diplomatic corp was not only able to re-establish diplomatic ties with Japan, but to get Japan to end its war on us AND sign a full alliance with The United States of America"



"Thats the good news.Now the mixed news.Due to this alliance, we will be able to base US forces in japan to directly help them in their war efforts.
So today, large amounts of B-52Hs and some supporting ground troops are arriving in japan to join in the fighting"

"We know that they will carry the day, just like they did in the recent war with Mexico"

On a related side note, Valentines Days is fast approaching,so go out to your local Special Secrets Shoe Corporation Store, and be sure to buy that special woman in your life the shoes you know she wants"

"You'll be supporting the war effort and making her happy at the same time"

"Good Night"

"Soon after arriving in Japan, American B-52H's went into action to elminate a heavily protected and stocked Chinese Airbase that had been punishing and driving back Japanese ground forces for some time now"

"As this full motion mock-up shows, the American Airforce was completely successful in its strike.The strike consisted of 7 full units of B-52Hs unleashing a large cruise missile sorty on the Airbase which resulted in said airbases total destruction."



"Japanese ground forces are again pushing in the area, in hopes of finally securing it"

"This ends this briefing"

"Good afternoon"

"After days of heavy fighting, Japanese ground forces were able to push into the city of Benxi and its surrounding cities.American heavy bombers assisted the advance"



"Sadly,Japanese ground forces were soon after punished heavily and stopped in their tracks when Chinese Air units who had been forced to rebase to Beijing Airbase, showed they still had the will , range and ability to make their displeasure felt"
((( sorry, missed the chance to get a good shot of the chinese air swarm)))

"This of course puts the Beijing Airbase sqaurely in the sights of American Air units"

"This end todays briefing"

"Tonight American Air units launhed multiple sorties of Cruise missiles on the Beijing Airbase resulting in its complete destruction"

"The following full motion mock-up shows the sorties"


((( yea, this one was sloppy )))

"The Chinese launched a large counter attack on Feb 23 that retook Benxi and its surrounding areas"





"The Chinese airforce is still managing to launch devastating strikes against Japanese ground forces in the area.And so, American Air units have started removing the lesser chinese airstrips in the vicinity now"

"Good afternoon"

"Today, this briefing will seek to explain the bizarre situation that recently came into existance in Japanese territory"

"American air units have continued to destroy chinese air facilties in an effort to remove the chinese airforces ability to strike at the japanese ground forces.In this they seem to have been successful as no chinese air units have made strikes in over a week, despite very heavy fighting in Benxi area"

"American air units than shifted to destroying chinese ground units that had held out in small pockets behind the Japanese front lines.While performing one of these sorties , a large force of Russian mig-25s intercepted ,attacked and turned back the US aircraft on the sorty"

"Since techincally Japan and Russia are allies , russian forces had clear travel thru japanese lands.This meant that US air units in japan would be bottled up and unable to help the Japanese ground forces,without coming under attack by russian forces"

"This situation could not be allowed to remain.And so american air units destroyed the russian airbases those migs were operating out of.This left the russian migs in a rather interesting situation, since the only base many of them could reach was a japanese base, located even closer to american air units, and of course protected from attack."

"So for now, American air units will be standing down, except for long range missile strikes.Units moving into position on another task, have been re-assigned to this issue.We expect these units to remove the russian air threat fairly soon"

"More information on these units will be made public at a later time"

"This ends todays briefing"

"Good evening"

"We are taking sometime tonight to fill you in on recent events in the War with China"

"Mid march , the American Navies new cruisers were put inot action for the first time.These ships are called the DDX-21.They are a highly stealthy
very powerful weapons platform"

"The plan was so sail 3 full fleets up the Korean peninsula and have them engage the russain air units from longe range with a suprise attack"

"Unfortunately , Japan was sharing intelligence with russia due to their alliance.This meant that the suprise was on us.Russian fighter bombers surged out of the japanese base and engaged the American naval forces "

"The full might of the Russain aircraft, in excess of 20 units, proved too much for the DDX-21s, who were forced to pull back.While no naval units were lost, casualties were high"

"This event meant that japanese ground force would still be denied the full assistance of the american heavy bombers "

"But, there was nothing russian forces could do to stop the DDXs from moving on back to the original reason they were dispatched to japan"

"The ddx-21s moved up the western korean peninsula and engaged the chinese navy.They took the chinese navy totally by suprise and sunk well over 60 chinses naval vessels and destroyed numerous chinese aircraft"

"With the ocean in that location under American control, American special forces were flown into the lands adjacent, to be the first US ground forces to enter into chinese territory and the first US ground force to engage chinese units"

"The American special forces were airdropped into and around the chinese city of Qinhuangdao.They quickly occupied the city and the areas surrounding it and dug in.The special forces repulsed attack after chinese attack , assisted by the ddx-21s and the american heavy bombers"

"American losses were extremely light, with no units lost.Chinese losses were heavy with upwards of 19 units lost"

"With american special forces holding the area, Airborne engineers were airdropped in and began work on 3 medium sized military bases.These bases wil be used to produce military equipment which will than be sold to Japan"

"Think of this as an improved "lend lease program", as we will not have to "ship" the equipment once built.The location of the bases was picked with the explicit reasoning that they are right off the frontline.So any equipment built and sold to the Japanese will be able to reach the combat line almost instantly"

"This mock-up shows a fairly accurate view of the area in recent days"



"This ends tonights briefing, enjoy the rest of your evening"
