They bridge the generations from hip youth culture forging new expressions of Americana to their grandparents who are the custodians of great worldwide traditions. These markets are largely excluded from today’s commercial broadcasters. Ludwig Enterprises is helping to move analogue radio into the digital age, harmonizing all ages and cultures as they add to America’s rich treasure of diversity.Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. is launching the first nationwide World radio network in the U.S. that really is for US! The One™ radio is bringing HD quality digital audio to a vast audience of diverse ages and origins, whose interests go unsatisfied by today’s domestic programming. The One™ radio is reaching out to a $1.5 trillion marketplace, and an audience which is almost completely ignored. The segment of listeners born abroad is over 30 million alone, which invites new for exciting programming and a new frontier for advertisers.Many listeners miss the classic the radio programs of the past, and just as radio played a vital role as a touchtone for American culture throughout the last century, so to The One™ radio is designed to be a centerpiece around which other cultures can unify and feel as much at home in the United States as they did in the countries they came from.It is estimated that 1 in 5 Americans are 55 and over. That means 70 million potential listeners are not able to enjoy the programming they love due to the homogenized formats that even satellite and internet radio offer. As listeners enter their golden years, radio plays an ever increasing role in ones window to the world and an important link to news and entertainment, especially if other areas of their lives become more limited. The One™ radio’s programming is designed to serve this, ever growing, abundant marketplace as well as providing youth culture with a vital link to its heritage.Ludwig Enterprises, Inc.[4] has developed a patented new radio that receives signals from the new Digital Television format (ATSC also known as HD-TV). The One™ radio offers 50 channels of diverse, HD quality, digital programming…Filipino, Pakistani, Hebrew, Chinese, Greek, Russian and many more, in addition to great English programming, old time radio shows, news 24 hours a day, audio books, educational and religious programming, as well as music ranging from Techno to Classical.The One™ radio receiver, developed by Ludwig Enterprises, Inc., is mobile, handheld and compatible with most docking stations, for your home, in the car or on the go.The One™ radio utilizes social networking capabilities to link advertisers and listeners via a unique technology that lets the advertiser know exact demographic / statistical data within 96 hours of playing a commercial in each of Ludwig’s 50 primarily markets, offering advertisers virtually real-time feedback for maximum market penetration. The privacy of the listener is protected as well because the regional data collected is not specific to the individual.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTYThe One™ radio’s unique patented technology utilizes a “carousel” that interleaves information streams in a repeating pattern for inclusion into a digital video broadcast (Digital TV: also known as HD TV), allowing Ludwig’s data carousel to deliver multiple dynamic digital audio programs, not just one.COMPETITIONThe nearest competitor to The One™ radio is Sirius/XM radio. There is very little overlap in our target audience since The One™ radio is reaching out to new markets that they do not serve, catering to expanding multicultural, 55 plus and emerging youth markets, with an emphasis on family unity.For legal reasons The One™ radio, like Sirius/XM, is considered a subscription based service. The similarities STOP there. Unlike Sirius/XM Ludwig does not charge a monthly fee. A small one-time subscription fee is charged upon activation and the unit itself is included free of charge. This is the benefit of utilizing existing terrestrial data transmission infrastructure rather than more costly satellite transmission, as well as Ludwig’s main source of revenue being derived from advertising and the sale of syndication time.”None of the above information is currently accurate, currently relevant or appropriate to the company.[5]The following information is from a press release which appears to have been syndicated on the financial news networks on December 19,2019:Ludwig Enterprises Inc., Acquires Direct Mortgage Investors Inc.[6]SPARKS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2019 / Ludwig Enterprises Inc., (OTC PINK:LUDG) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the positive consolidation efforts of Direct Mortgage Investors Inc.

1. Fast-food workers are mostly teenagers working for pocket money.Fast food was indeed an adolescent gig in the 1950s and 1960s, when the paper hat symbolized the classic short-term, entry-level job. But today, despite arguments that these low-wage jobs are largely filled by "suburban teenagers," as the Heritage Foundation put it, labor data shows that about 70 percent of the fast-food workforce is at least 20 years old. The typical burger-flipper is an independent adult of about 29, with a high school diploma. Nearly a third have some college experience, and many are single parents raising families on $9 an hour. In contrast to McDonald's rather optimistic model budget — which assumes that an employee lives in a two-income household and doesn't need child care or gas or groceries — a large portion of fast-food workers are forced to borrow from friends to cover basic household expenses, or sometimes fall into homelessness.According to researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, about half of the families of front-line fast-food workers depend on public programs, compared with 25 percent of the American workforce. About 87 percent of fast-food workers lack employer health benefits, compared with 40 percent of the general workforce. And roughly one-fifth of workers' families are below the poverty line. That adds up to some $7 billion in welfare payouts each year — essentially enabling fast-food mega-chains to subsidize ultra-low wages with public benefits.2. Employees can work their way up and eventually even own a franchise.Burger King's career Web site proclaims: "You'll never be short of opportunities to show what you've got. And if we like what we see, there's no limit to how far you could go here." The New York Restaurant Association boasts that restaurant work "creates an opportunity for people to live the American dream." Under its franchise "success stories," McDonald's features a man who advanced from being a crew member to owning a franchise in just a few years.The dream of upward mobility, however, eludes most workers. The National Employment Law Project (NELP) points out that about 90 percent of the fast-food workforce is made up of "front-line workers" such as line cooks and cashiers. About 9 percent are lower-level supervisors, who earn about $13 an hour. And just 2.2 percent of fast-food jobs are "managerial, professional, and technical occupations," compared with 31 percent of jobs in the U.S. economy.As for the notion of working your way up to ownership, NELP reports that 1 percent of the fast-food workforce owns a franchise — a purchase that could require $750,000 to several million dollars in financial assets. And there's no indication that many of these franchisees actually did "rise through the ranks" to become owners, which requires an amount of capital that might top the lifetime salary of an average kitchen worker.3. Fast-food companies can't control franchise wages or working conditions.McDonald's plan to raise wages at least $1 over the local minimum wage was announced this month to much fanfare. But the raise applies only to employees of the 1,500 stores McDonald's owns directly. The company contends that as a chain franchisor, it merely licenses its brand to individual franchise operators; is not legally liable as an employer; and thus "does not direct or co-determine the hiring, termination, wages, hours" and other working conditions for all who toil under the golden arches.But critics say these fast-food chains actually exert powerful oversight over their franchisees by closely tracking their spending and operations. Domino's, one franchisee claims, critiqued how his employees answered the phone; Burger King franchisees sued the chain in 2009, claiming that it was forcing them to sell menu items for a loss at $1. Companies often pressure owner-operators to squeeze down labor costs: According to one employee quoted in the Guardian, "McDonald's corporate representatives turn up at the restaurant where he works five or six times a year, counting the number of cars using the drive-through service, timing sales, making sure staff are preparing food according to McDonald's specifications." More so than most fast-food chains, McDonald's wields financial control over its franchisees and owns the rental real estate of the restaurants.Former McDonald's executive Richard Adams has said: "McDonald's franchisees are pretty compliant. They don't really organize, they don't really protest. And if you do, they tell you you're not a good member of the McFamily. I don't want to make this seem too Orwellian, but the average franchisee has about six restaurants, and the franchise agreement is for 20 years. You're probably going to have a renewal coming up. If you're not a compliant member of the team, you're probably not going to get that renewal."The issue of whether McDonald's can be labeled a "joint employer" is being litigated in numerous claims of unfair labor practices that workers have filed with the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB's general counsel recently deemed McDonald's a joint employer, and if it is ultimately penalized as such, workers could see a dramatic expansion in the company's legal and regulatory obligations.4. Flipping burgers is an easy job.Some people chafe at the idea of "unskilled" fast-food workers meriting a wage more suited to a "high-skilled" job. Not only does this ignore the fact that this work requires skills — from managing inventory to training and supervising other employees — it also disregards the day-to-day challenges workers navigate on the job. According to a slew of complaints filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, workers often suffer injuries such as hot-oil burns and are sometimes denied proper medical care. (Some are told to dress wounds with condiments.) Violence is also common at fast-food restaurants; according to a recent survey, roughly one in eight workers reported being assaulted at work in the past year.Workers have also complained of racial discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliatory punishment by management. More than 40 of the NLRB claims filed against McDonald's in the past few years alleged illegal firings or penalties because of workers' engagement in labor activism. Add to all of this the challenge of just getting paid: Subway was found guilty of 17,000 separate wage and hour violations since 2000, and in 2013, Taco Bell was hit with a $2.5 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over unpaid overtime.5. Paying workers $15 an hour would make burgers prohibitively costly and hurt the industry.Some analysts, particularly on the right, have laid out doomsday scenarios of massive economic disruption caused by a sudden doubling of wages in the fast-food industry. The Heritage Foundation argues that raising wages to $15 an hour could lead to a price spike, shrinking job opportunities, and huge drops in sales and profits . In reality, any such wage increase would probably be incremental and could be absorbed in large part by lowering the fees collected by parent companies from franchisees. Fast-food workers already enjoy such higher pay in other countries with strong labor regulation and union representation. A Big Mac in New Zealand costs less than one in the United States — $4.49 vs. $4.79, according to the Economist's Big Mac index — and it'll likely be served by a full-time union worker earning about $12 per hour.Higher wages might also bring business benefits, in the form of lower turnover and good press. The Michigan-based fast-casual restaurant Moo Cluck Moo offers a $15 wage alongside premium grass-fed burgers, turning its reputation as a socially responsible employer into a selling point. The market for super-cheap fast food is apparently declining. Consumers just might be hungry for a more conscientious business model.

Dawn, c. 1911I awaken in a mysterious room at a local inn, while retaining all of my 21st century knowledge. I take a moment to quickly assess my situation: my exact location, time, and purpose for being here. Eventually coming to the conclusion that I have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by God to make things the way they should be, and knowing that I cannot return to the present, I immediately make my way to the nearest dock and chart a ship to the German Empire. While at sea, with my in-depth knowledge on history, I begin creating a list. Writing down plans of how I will alter history forever, along with contingencies, ensuring that every detail is accounted for, knowing that a single mistake could potentially cost me everything.Days later, I arrive at the port city of Königsberg in the Kingdom of Prussia. Knowing what is coming, I waste no time and seek to enlist into the Imperial German Army, requesting that I be allowed to enlist despite being a foreigner. After several days of investigations and processing, I am accepted into the Royal Prussian Army and begin Basic Combat Training. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’m trained in all aspects of the Imperial Military such as weapons handling, marksmanship, drill, and other essentials. For the most part, basic training is fairly easy, as my 21st century military training along with martial arts and swordsmanship, greatly aid my efforts, although I ensure to remain careful on when I display my skills as to not draw unwanted attention. Whenever possible, I make sure to take notes on all aspects of Prussian military doctrine, learning as much as I can as fast as I can, understanding that any/all information I can acquire, could do wonders in the future.Throughout basic training, I take some time to read and learn about the current state of the world. Currently, Europe is in a state of balance between the nations and their respective empires, as well as the many nations struggling to survive like Mexico in revolution, and nations like the United States experiencing economic progress due to isolationism. Reading in local newspapers about European tradition, the greatness of Germany and its Kaiser, as well as disasters like the steady decline of the Qing Dynasty in China and the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. By late 1913 - early 1914, I request to be transferred to Bavaria, stating that the German province will better adhere to my Catholic beliefs compared to the Protestant religion of Prussia. Making my way south by train to the city of Munich, within the Kingdom of Bavaria. Still wishing to remain in the military, I petition King Ludwig III of Bavaria to allow me to transfer and join “The King’s own Regiment”. Despite being a foreigner but with prior experience, after a short while, my petition is promptly granted and I’m accepted into the Bavarian Army, eventually settling into the 16th Bavarian Infantry Reserve Regiment.June 28, 1914 - SarajevoArchduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne and his wife Sophie Chotek, are assassinated by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. Immediately following the Archduke’s death, the European powers begin mobilizing their armies, igniting a new kind of war, one that will come to be known as the Great War - “The war to end all wars”. The Generals receive word that the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL) already has a plan to knock out the French before the British and Russians can respond, known as the Schlieffen Plan. German forces begin marching into neutral Belgium as a means to bypass the French defenses at Alsace-Lorraine, with Belgian neutrality violated, Great Britain declares war on Germany.However, the German invasion of Belgium does not go as planned. The Belgians have armored trains and strong defenses protecting their cities. For the Germans, it is an unpleasant surprise, falling several days behind on their battle plan. To crush their fortresses, the Germans bring in their huge Krupp cannons that fire 1-ton shells. So the Belgians destroy their train tracks by crashing their own locomotives into each other.These setbacks force the Germans to delay their offensive and focus their efforts on lengthy repairs. With the war now in full swing, my first plan is put into action. During the initial invasion of Belgium, I encounter a young Austrian soldier, a failed artist but a dedicated German, his name, Adolf Hitler.October 29, 1914 - BelgiumAs my regiment and I march through the Belgian plains, British and French artillery battalions open fire upon our columns. Our troops scramble to find cover and prepare a counteroffensive, as the artillery barrage seems endless. After several hours, the artillery finally stops and both sides disengage. After making five assaults on the enemy positions, I along with only 600 other men out of our 3,600 strong regiment, survive the ordeal, escaping with only minor injuries. As a result of our heroic actions, Hitler and I are both rewarded with the Iron Cross 2nd Class for bravery under fire, and are subsequently promoted to the rank of Gefreiter (Corporal).As time passes, little-by-little, Hitler and I become good friends, fighting side-by-side in many battles on the Western Front between 1914 - 1916 such as in the First Battle of Ypres, the Somme, the Attack on Fromelles and Verdun. Developing a sense of love for combat as we engage in many adventures in the west, if one can call them such. Despite it all, life in the trenches is difficult; the fear of enemy artillery, gassings and the idea of never seeing your loved ones again is more than enough to make most soldiers want to mutiny. But these pale in comparison to the idea of being sent over the top, into what many refer to as “No man’s land”, riddled with barbed wire, landmines, and machine gun nests on the opposite side just waiting to claim their next victim. Since I have no one at this time, it is easier for me to maintain my bearing if ever so slightly, but knowing that my country and history itself are on the line, I’m determined to fight on and see my mission through at any cost.On numerous occasions throughout the war, I’m either hit by a bullet or shell fragment on the arm or leg, or suffer the effects of mustard gas or other forms of biological warfare, which end up sending me to the hospital. I know that I could choose to remain at the hospital on light duty, but no matter my injury or condition, I always demand the doctors to quickly heal my wounds in order for me to return to the front. I hate having to leave the front to go the hospital, declaring my service on the front lines as:“The greatest moment of my life”.My military service gives me a sense of mission and above all, purpose. But I cannot fulfill either my mission or purpose if I’m stuck at a hospital, with each second feeling like an eternity, while men die, and ground that we’ve won through blood and sacrifice is lost to the enemy. Whenever I’m given time on leave, I utilize my pay to visit the many German, Austrian and/or other European cities, experiencing the wonders of European culture and history first hand or if possible, meet with other future historical figures. However during a visit to Leuven, Belgium I bear witness to German atrocities. Belgian landmarks are destroyed including the University of Leuven and its irreplaceable library. Hundreds of thousands of Belgian and French civilians are sent to concentration camps, priests executed on sight, nuns raped, and German troops loot everything they can: valuables, furniture, vehicles, cows, chickens, pigs and even dogs. Despite being appalled by what I witness, I understand that I must remain silent or risk suffering a similar fate.November 1916During a battle near Bapaume, France I bear witness to an aerial dogfight in the skies above. While German aircraft fiercely engage and shoot down British and French biplanes, one pilot in particular stands out among the rest. I could dismiss him as just a random fighter, but this one is different. The ease in which the pilot engages and tears through row-after-row of enemy biplanes is astonishing. Determined to meet this pilot to confirm my suspicions, I wait until the German biplanes begin to land and follow their trail to a clearing. Upon arriving at their landing site, I meet a young Prussian fighter-ace from the Aristocracy, one whose name becomes legend. His name, Baron Manfred von Richthofen nicknamed the “Red Baron”. I compliment him on his actions, stating that he has become quite the celebrity among the German Military and that his reputation precedes him. After we exchange pleasantries, the Red Baron introduces me to the other members of his squadron the Jagdgeschwader 1, nicknamed “The Flying Circus”, such as his brother Lothar and cousin Wolfram von Richthofen, Ernst Udet, and Hermann Göring.By the spring of 1917, the Germans have begun unrestricted submarine warfare – sinking Allied merchant ships in international waters, resulting in the United States joining the war on the side of the Allies. Later on July 31st, the British launch a major offensive against German forces holding Passchendaele ridge, overlooking the city of Ypres, Belgium. German forces amass in defensive positions east and south of the Belgian town of Ypres in West Flanders, as the “British Expeditionary Force” under Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig are eagerly moving in towards the city of Passchendaele in order to destroy the German U-Boat bases on the Belgian north-east coast. Knowing what the upcoming battle has in store for us, I take every precaution necessary to ensure my survival and prepare for the worst.The Battle of Passchendaele as it comes to be known, is a vivid symbol of mud, madness and the senseless slaughter of the First World War. Torrential storms and poor weather conditions cause the battlefield to become a muddy quagmire capable of swallowing men, horses, tanks and artillery whole. Canadian forces enter the fray in October, capturing the ridge and Passchendaele village at a cost of 15,600 casualties — a high price for a piece of ground that will be vacated for us the following year. Throughout the battle, my squadron and I struggle to hold our positions as we fight not only the British and Canadians, but also the deep mud and the innumerable obstacles on the battlefield. The constant artillery barrages along with new British Mark IV tanks “land ships”, make the going more difficult. In early-November during the latter stages of the battle, as German forces are pushed back, a Mark IV tank opens fire upon my squad’s position. With no grenades or other weapons to knock it out, my comrades and I jump out of our mud filled trench attempting to escape. The Mark IV, using its machine guns opens fire, killing or wounding my comrades left and right. I manage to duck just in time to avoid a fatal shot to the head, instead getting hit on my left arm and leg as I fall into a shell crater. Moments later, I’m rescued by a retreating German soldier who sees me attempting to drag myself out of the crater and carries me to safety, dropping me off at the nearest field hospital. Once again, I‘m forced to leave my comrades on the front lines to recover at another dreaded hospital for Lord knows how long.By early-March 1918 after recovering from my injuries, I’m finally allowed to return to active service and not a moment too soon. The Oberste Heeresleitung now prepares for a last ditch offensive towards Paris before the Americans enter the battlefield. But in order to prepare for it, they first need Russia out of the war, to divert the German armies to the Western Front. General der Infanterie Erich Ludendorff transports Russia’s biggest political agitator Vladimir Lenin to Petrograd, to stir up a revolution and take Russia out of the war.In the Eastern Front, Tsar Nicholas II has abdicated and a provisional government led by Alexander Kerensky, continues the war. Upon arrival at Petrograd, Lenin as promised, amasses many disillusioned soldiers and citizens against the Provisional Government, ousting it in a matter of moments. A new Communist government takes its place, with Leon Trotsky signing an armistice with the Central Powers known as the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. With this treaty, many territories of the former Russian Empire now acquire independence: Poland, Ukraine, Finland, the Baltics, and the Caucasus, but fall under the German or Ottoman spheres of influence.With Russia effectively out the war, two million German soldiers are hastily transported to the Western Front. Now with numerical superiority, the Germans make their final preparations for the 1918 Spring Offensive codenamed: Kaiserschlacht, to seize Paris and force the remaining allies to negotiate a peace treaty, and end the war.On April 21st, during a battle near Vaux-sur-Somme, the Red Baron lays in a hospital bed recovering from an injury he had sustained prior. Despite his setbacks, he is determined to get back into the air, especially after he is informed that his cousin Wolfram is under attack by British planes. By this time, Richthofen has become such a legend that it is feared that his death would be a blow to the morale of the German people. He refuses to accept a ground job after his wound, stating: “every poor fellow in the trenches must do his duty” and that he will therefore continue to fly.Although his determination is admirable, I strongly advise him against flying on this particular day as he is not in his best condition, warning that his injuries could lead to his ultimate downfall, and wait to recover before returning to the skies. Managing to convince another worthy pilot to take his place. Accepting my words and confident that both his cousin and squadron will survive to fight another day, the Red Baron ultimately decides to remain at his post.With the survival of the Red Baron assured, I return to the trenches where Hitler is waiting, as the German armies prepare for their final push towards Paris.Eventually (in case he doesn’t figure it out), I reveal to Hitler that I’m not actually German but Mexican, explaining that my reason for being there is that Germany has helped Mexico on various occasions before and I’m simply returning the favor in the best possible way. Accepting my origins and after witnessing my tenacity in battle, Hitler declares me an honorable man with the heart of a German. I thank him, and tell him that one day he will join the ranks of legends, as we continue to participate in many battles against the British, French and Americans in the final months of the Great War, even managing to capture entire squadrons, leading to us being awarded with the Iron Cross 1st Class.On November 9th, a local pastor arrives at the front. There, he informs us that on November 8th, Kaiser Wilhelm II had abdicated and Germany is now a Republic. The war is lost.November 11, 1918The Great War officially comes to an end with Germany and the Central Powers signing a humiliating Armistice at Compiègne. With the Great War over and knowing what happens next, I inform my friend Adolf Hitler, that I am returning to Mexico. Stating that my country is in revolution, and needs me to help restore order and justice, and at this time, Germany needs him as well. After exchanging words of gratitude, we bid each other farewell and go our separate ways, but I assure him that we will one day meet again, soon.A week later upon returning to Mexico, I make my way through the war ravaged countryside to meet up with one of the Revolutionary factions: División del Norte commanded by General Pancho Villa or General Emiliano Zapata’s Ejército Libertador del Sur, looking to take part in the waning years of the Mexican Revolution.With the end of the revolution in 1920, I decide that I can better serve my people from a position of power, helping them to recover from the revolution and rebuild their lives. And thus, I begin my journey in politics. Becoming one of the youngest members of the Mexican government at the age of 29. Soon becoming renowned for my oratory and literary ability, as well as obscure by the older politicians due to my seemingly extremist ideals, as I struggle to pass reforms that will further benefit the people over the wealthy and political elite. Despite opposition, throughout the 1920’s I grow to become a widely revered and respected politician as I move between both left and right wing social circles.October 1922I read in the local newspaper that in the Kingdom of Italy, a new government has been created by a journalist and former socialist. A veteran of the world war and dedicated nationalist, Benito Mussolini is appointed Prime Minister of Italy via a coup d'état that becomes known as the March on Rome, seizing power along with legions of militiamen known as “Blackshirts” of the National Fascist Party with support from the military and business classes. To celebrate his victory, I send him a letter of congratulations, wishing him the best of luck in his quest to build Italy as a great power and hope that one day, we will support me in my ascension to power. Soon after, the influence of Italian Fascism reaches Mexico, where I join a small fringe group known as the Mexican Fascist Party. However, I soon discover that the party does not adhere to the reforms brought by the revolution. Not wanting to endanger my political popularity and ambitions, instead of engaging and reforming the movement from within, I formally resign from the party the following year. In November 1923, as in Italy, I read in the newspaper that in Germany, a Corporal named Adolf Hitler and his Sturmabteilung (ᛋA) “Brownshirts” from the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, had attempted to seize power in Munich in an event known as the Beer Hall Putsch, which ended with 16 National Socialists killed along with four Munich policemen. Hitler himself along with several leading figures are arrested. Although, the putsch is a failure, I am joyful to see my friend doing what he is destined to do, save his people and in the long run, his beloved fatherland.Later in December 1924, with the inauguration of President Plutarco Elías Calles, a staunch anti-cleric and Freemason, begins a nationwide purge against the Roman Catholic Church. Ordering all forms of mass and clergy disbanded, as well as arresting and/or executing anyone who is caught giving or receiving mass.By 1926, the Mexican people unwilling to accept this new oppressive government decide to revolt, igniting a new civil war between the Federal government and the defenders of the Roman Catholic Church, who come to be known as the Cristeros. Simultaneously, after my efforts to bring about social and political reforms having failed along with my proposals to tackle the economic crisis rejected, and refusing to be part of this new political cabinet, I resign from government. Having become tired and disillusioned with the bureaucracy and corruption of democratic party politics of the Mexican government, I decide to join the ranks of the Cristeros.As history has proven in the past, fate has a way of finding charismatic leaders even in the most desperate times. Former revolutionary General Enrique Gorostieta with his cunning tactics, combined with my training and combat experience as a veteran of the Great War, together we organize the Cristeros into a formidable fighting force, despite having extremely limited resources. Our mission: to restore the Catholic faith and the rights of the people, our battle cry: “Viva Cristo Rey!” (Long live Christ the King!)Throughout our numerous engagements from 1926 - 1929, General Gorostieta and I develop a sense of brotherhood, united for a common cause and sharing similar values, with him even appointing me his second-in-command due to my knowledge and prior experience. Our efforts do not go unnoticed by the international community, as the Cristeros receive support from the Holy See, the Irish Free State and the Knights of Columbus as we engage in many battles and gain further support, particularly from strongly Catholic areas in Mexico, such as the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Colima and Michoacán.During a battle in central Mexico, I encounter a young Belgian newspaper correspondent from the “Catholic Action Movement” to cover the war. I’m intrigued about who he is, as his appearance seems familiar and approach him, in an attempt to communicate. Unfortunately, the young man doesn’t speak much Spanish or English, but French, luckily I’m fluent in the language and manage to communicate with him, eventually managing to get his name, Léon Degrelle. Knowing I’ve just encountered another future historical figure, I waste no time in getting to know him and inform him on all he wants to know about the war, my previous experiences and our goals to restore religion and freedom to the people, while ensuring that I carefully word my responses as to not expose myself and my origins.19 days before a cessation of hostilities, based on an agreement worked out by U.S. Ambassador Dwight Morrow between Pope Pius XI and Mexican Bishop Pascual Díaz y Barreto, was to take effect, General Gorostieta is killed following a Mexican government intelligence operation on June 2, 1929. With the movement rapidly collapsing, Gorostieta attempts a retreat into Michoacán, where he hopes to recruit followers and continue the rebellion. A federal officer, who had infiltrated Gorostieta’s inner circle, tips off the Mexican cavalry to the General’s presence in Atotonilco, Jalisco, and kill him in a short firefight. Following his death, with the utmost respect and support of the people, I succeed him and continue the rebellion in his honor, declaring him a martyr. By June 27th, the Cristero War ends with a Mexican government ceasefire and recognition of the rights of the people, church bells ring in Mexico for the first time in almost three years. Knowing that I will better be able to once again serve my country from a position of power, with the support of the Mexican people, I decide to continue my journey in government and rejoin the fires of politics. Four months later on October 29th 1929, the U.S. Stock Market in Wall Street New York, crashes. Resulting in a worldwide recession and period of mass unemployment known as the Great Depression.September 6, 1930The day of my 40th Birthday, through the use of my oratory skills, sway over the people and parts of the government, I unite all major right-wing and Catholic factions into a new political force. One that will put an end to the misery, and challenge the corrupt establishment, thus the National Socialist Party of the United Mexican States is born. Our mission: to restore Mexican honor, our uniform: the Blackshirt, our motto: “Mexicanos, al grito de guerra!” (Mexicans, at the cry of war!)As time passes, I continue to carefully monitor world events as more plans begin to fall into place: Il Duce of Fascism, Benito Mussolini continues building up Italy. While in Germany, Der Führer Adolf Hitler is appointed Reichskanzler of Germany on January 30th 1933, and brings the National Socialist German Worker’s Party into power. Although I’m fully aware that Mussolini seized power through a coup d’état and Hitler through the fear of a Communist uprising following the Reichstag fire, some of my party members suggest that we attempt our own seizure of power by force. I immediately reject the idea, as a coup could end up igniting another revolution and could potentially cost me everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve. Instead of plotting a coup, I aim to win power at the polls, announcing my candidacy for President.Throughout the 1934 Mexican Presidential campaign, I do not utilize armored cars or bodyguards to protect myself as I travel through much of the rural areas by auto and horseback, while wearing my Blackshirted uniform, displaying my Iron Cross 1st Class and other war medals, accompanied only by Rafael M. Pedrajo, a chauffeur and an aide-de-camp. My fearlessness generates widespread respect and support from the general public, including national newspapers, demonstrating my bravery and leadership as a revolutionary and decorated war hero. I also learn that our movement is receiving political and financial assistance from Germany and Italy. Overjoyed that Il Duce had indeed received my letter and is responding through action, along with my old friend Adolf Hitler, who has heard of my progress over the years. Attracting the public by the tens of thousands by organizing massive party rallies similar to those in Germany, publicizing our revolutionary policies and ideas, speaking about the threat of Communism and exposing the corrupt establishment for what it is. As well as discussing my plans for designing a Four Year Plan that will create millions of new jobs, return lands to the peasants, maintain a stable economy and middle-class, and the promise of a Great National Revival. Knowing that I already have the support of the lower and middle classes, major businesses/industrialists, and a large portion of the government. To further increase my chances of victory, I instruct my Blackshirts to use intimidation and covert operations against my Socialist/Communist opponents, as well as use any methods necessary to sabotage and cripple the campaign of my biggest political rival, General Lázaro Cárdenas Del Río. Little-by-little, my strategies yield astounding results as my opponents rapidly lose support and/or are forced to withdraw, and anything/everything they lose, I gain as a result.On July 1st 1934, I am elected President of the United Mexican States by an overwhelming majority of 98.2% of the popular vote.Upon being sworn into office, I immediately form a new political cabinet and establish a National Socialist/Fascist government of my own. Appointing key figures such as Salvador Borrego as Minister of Propaganda, and other appropriate positions. With my ascension to power, my first focus that Mexico truly becomes sovereign, is the economy.Implementing a system known as “industrial democracy”, in which ownership of large businesses and companies are redistributed to the employees, making out of every worker a stakeholder and partial owner that can elect or be elected to a board of directives who will supervise the industry. Believing this will solve the bridge between enterprising Capitalists and unionizing Socialists, to create a better of both sides. Stating that the added responsibility and also capability will serve as incentive for workers to want to work harder and make what is now their financial asset prosper.Another policy I advocate for is one in which political candidacy and government should be revolutionized; instead of people of a certain neighborhood voting for someone of their neighborhood, people from the industrial, medical or military field etc. elect representatives from their respective profession. A representative from industry, medicine, military and so on, to create an election for specialists in the nations fields of employment to serve as the new representative government.Next, moving to abolish income tax while raising luxury taxes and nationalizing El Banco de México (Central Bank) to end exploitation and redistribute money back to the hands of the common citizen. All fields of businesses soon find themselves in a prosperous position, since specialists from each form of employment now help determine the policies of and contributing their voice to understanding of how every piece of the Mexican machine operates. Systematically achieving self-sufficiency by eliminating lagging facilities or practices, and implementing improvements that lead to more jobs and quality products.At first, my abolition of income tax deals a blow to the national budget, however my ideals that primarily the Mexican people require the money to purchase basic goods, further bolster this by cutting taxes to goods such as gasoline and food to cheap prices. This is further cushioned by the Mexican people utilizing the extra currency they now possess, to purchase luxury goods whose tax rates have been increased substantially.As the nation’s economy begins to grow and recover from the depression at an exponential rate. I spend my first year in office consolidating power; using intimidation, eliminating all opposing political parties, banning trade unions and creating my own Secret State Police (Gestapo). Any assassination attempts or threats against me, the government or the nation a whole, are used to my advantage granting me emergency powers and using them to transform Mexico into a totalitarian state. Thereby proclaiming the establishment of a new Hispanic Reich. Simultaneously, I along with foreign diplomats travel to many countries such as the Vatican, the United States and throughout Europe, in order to ensure the recognition of the new government and to sign Treaties of Friendship and Non-Aggression Pacts with them. I also begin sending economic and financial support to other Fascist movements in Latin America such as the Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB), Right-Wing nationalists in Argentina, and the National Socialist Movement of Chile (Nacistas) among others. Allowing them to speak at much larger venues, and draw ever greater numbers of supporters to their cause.Meanwhile in Mexico, life for the average citizen is considerably better than before, the Mexican people are united and the tensions between wealthy and poor are virtually eliminated. To the older generations, my regime begins to evoke images of the former Porfirio Diaz government (Porfiriato). For the younger generations, a youth wing of my political party is created, referred to as the “Jóvenes Coronianos”. In order for them to gain greater appreciation for their country, youth hostels are built all across the nation, enabling the youth to hike from one beautiful village to another, seeing their fatherland with every effort being made to strengthen their minds and bodies. My Four Year Plan oversees great public works projects across the nation, creating new employment opportunities for the mass millions; building new bridges, hydroelectric dams, canals and roads where there are none. All while ensuring that these projects do not unnecessarily destroy the Mexican landscape or wildlife habitats and forests.June 1935 - Washington D.C.In a state visit to the White House, I meet with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor, in order to discuss plans for greater diplomatic and economic relations, and signing what becomes known as the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Mexico and the United States. Later taking a tour through several U.S. states attracting massive crowds of American citizens causing a deep sense of jealousy from President Roosevelt. One state in particular that I insist on visiting, is the Bayou state of Louisiana. Where a U.S. Senator has made headlines everywhere and is rising to prominence, Senator Huey P. Long (The Kingfish) a Democrat and de facto Dictator of Louisiana. Upon meeting him, I congratulate him on his success, exchanging pleasantries and beginning a long conversation in which he informs me about his Share our Wealth Program, and his ideas for “Every Man a King”. Also informing me about his thoughts of running for President in 1936.It is through Senator Long that I establish contact with another prominent American figure, Roman Catholic priest and radio host, Monsignor Charles E. Coughlin. With his fiery sympathizer based in Michigan who reaches the ears of an estimated 30 million Americans through his weekly broadcasts, as well as leader of the political organization known as the National Union for Social Justice. Which similarly to Senator Long’s Share our Wealth program, calls for monetary reforms, nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of labor rights with its slogan: “Social Justice”. Both believing that President Roosevelt’s New Deal is plainly too inefficient to remedy the economic hardships the nation is currently going through. Believing they will make the best leaders for the United States and best potential ally for Mexico, as I prepare to leave for the next state of my tour, I advise Father Coughlin to better organize his party and if possible merge with other political groups like the “Friends of New Germany”, the Silver Legion or the America First Commitee. As well as advising Senator Long’s armed guards to maintain a state of high alert for his safety, in particular on September 8th.Upon my return to Mexico, I continue overseeing the revival of the Mexican economy and continue providing aid to foreign nationalist movements. Soon learning in September that in Baton Rouge, as Senator Long was leaving the Louisiana state capital, he was approached by physician Carl Weiss who raises a pistol to him from a distance of four feet. Luckily, heeding to my warning earlier, Long’s bodyguards subdue his assailant by shooting him as many as 60 times before the fatal shot can be fired. Although the attempt on his life shakes Long within, he is now ever determined to see his Presidential campaign through, announcing his candidacy for President soon after, with his “Share our Wealth program” as his platform.Later, following the start of the Spanish Civil War in July 17th 1936, almost immediately, I declare my support for the Spanish Nationalists against the Socialist Second Spanish Republic. Sending thousands of men and machines to aid them along with the German Reich, Fascist Italy, and “Estado Novo” Portugal. Throughout the conflict, I provide anonymous tips to Nationalist forces on the locations of major Republican leaders, armaments caches, and advise General Francisco Franco to accept a prisoner exchange involving José Antonio Primo de Rivera; Founder and Leader of the Falange Española de las JONS, before he is executed by the Republicans. As well as advising them to seize Madrid at the first opportunity. Once I know the survival of José Antonio is assured, I continue providing vital information to the Nationalists leading to the subsequent capture of Madrid, Barcelona and later towards Valencia. Bringing the Spanish Civil War to a rapid conclusion with a Nationalist victory and the establishment of another Fascist state in Europe.August 1, 1936 - The Berlin Summer OlympicsTo celebrate this historic event, I personally pay a visit to Berlin, Germany where I meet with my old friend Adolf Hitler, who I haven’t seen since 1918. Congratulating each other on our success, and wishing nothing for the best in the future. There, I also meet with other old and new acquaintances such as Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler and Baron Manfred von Richthofen. Joining the Führer in the Olympiastadion, in his VIP box as he opens the historic Olympic Games. As many as 34 of Mexico’s finest athletes showcase their skills throughout the event, often competing with Germany and the U.S. but still falling short on several games. By the end of the Olympic Games, Mexico wins 10 gold, nine Silver, and five Bronze medals achieving 3rd Place with 24 medals, behind the United States in 2nd with 56 medals and Germany in 1st with 89 Medals. Calling it another great victory for National Socialism/Fascism.Later in November, I meet with the Führer, Il Duce of Fascism Benito Mussolini and Japanese Foreign Minister Yōsuke Matsuoka in the Reich Chancellery to discuss plans on how to combat the increasing threat of Bolshevism. And finding ways of doing so without provoking the west and escalating the conflict into another war. Discussions end with the signing of a recently drafted Agreement against the Communist International, with Japan and Germany. Solidifying Mexico as a member of the Axis Powers. That same month, I learn that despite the support from the tens of millions, and his voice reaching the masses, Senator Huey P. Long has lost the 1936 Presidential Election by a very narrow margin. Although the news is disappointing, I write a letter encouraging the Senator and his entourage to not despair, as although their loss has taken a toll on their popularity, their time is just over the horizon.Between 1937 - 1938, as the situations in Europe and Asia begin to heat up and knowing that America is becoming increasingly wary, I launch a massive armaments program and begin conscription in order to build up a new modern military. I enlist the help of Imperial Japanese war advisors, who help train and build up a Mexican Pacific Navy; building large aircraft carriers, submarines and powerful battleships, such as the Yamato-class ARM Benito Juárez, as well as purchasing twin katanas from Japan, made from the finest materials available. I also enlist the help of German war advisors and utilize the very notes I took during my training and service in the Imperial German Army and the Great War, to train my own Wehrmacht; Heer, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-ᛋᛋ in the ways of Blitzkrieg. Through their guidance, we build whole divisions of fast moving Panzer tanks, squadrons of aircraft, possibly even early jet designs and help us build battleships such as the Bismarck-class ARM Agustín de Iturbide as well as U-Boat fleets in the Caribbean and Atlantic.Following the discovery of nuclear fission in Austria in 1938, almost immediately, I request information of the discovery to be sent to Mexico City. Employing the finest scientific and military minds with instructions to begin the development of our own Nuclear Weapons Program, codenamed: Quetzalcoatl.In November 1937, I send Foreign Minister Ezequiel Padilla Peñaloza to the United States of Brazil, where he meets with President Getúlio Vargas as he proclaims the establishment of a “Estado Novo” (New State) following a Communist threat. Minister Padilla is assigned with instructions to urge President Vargas to allow the Brazilian Integralist Action to continue governing by his side, stating that they had helped him attain power as well as the widespread support from the working-class that has brought him so far. Despite viewing the Integralists as major rivals to his rule, President Vargas understands that Padilla is correct and accepts the proposal, appointing key figures such as the party’s leader Plínio Salgado among others, to prominent positions in his government.With the 1.5 million strong Integralist movement in power within the Brazilian government and following the proclamation of the Estado Novo, the next morning, the Integralist salute “Anauê!” can be heard throughout the nation as millions of citizens arise to a new morning sun. In private, I rejoice as another plan falls into place, effectively entrenching another Fascist state in Latin America, with similar methods being implemented in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and later funding the National Socialist Movement of Chile (Nacistas) in a 1938 coup.By January 1939, the United Mexican States under my leadership as Führer of Mexico, is at the same state as Germany in terms of technology, science, standard of living, etc. My Four Year Plan has transformed Mexico from a backwater rural country, to a well-respected world power. With our nation prosperous and at full employment, I seek to unite all of mainland Central America into a Greater Hispanic Reich. Sending handwritten letters to the leaders of the Central American countries from Guatemala to Panama and Cuba, calling for a peaceful unification. Promising that all nations that accept will be allowed to maintain their local traditions and cultures and that their nations will equally share in our prosperity, but that their citizens are to obey any/all Mexican laws.After several weeks, the nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama accept my calls for unity, while the others are either hesitant or decline. Despite this setback, I continue to persist, which eventually leads to sour relations between our countries. The three nations are annexed peacefully into the Hispanic Reich to the Panama-Colombia border, with their military units peacefully marching through the Zócalo in Mexico City, while ours march through their respective capitals. Meanwhile, the United States government views the event with concern, as they begin to feel threatened by our sudden expansion throughout Central America and taking control of the Panama Canal. Demanding that Mexico withdraw from the three nations and return full control of the canal to America.In order to keep relations intact, I continue allowing the United States to use the Panama Canal as they please, and order for American markets in the area to remain untouched. I also maintain close contact with Germany and Italy, offering advice on how to negotiate favorable terms in the Munich Pact following the Anschluss and annexation of the Sudetenland. Also on how to further pressure Poland into renewing negotiations in order to solve the Danzig question peacefully and avert another unnecessary war. Going as far as supporting the signing of the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. As a veteran of the Great War and having first hand experience of the horrors and hardship that came with it, I continue working tirelessly to ensure that a second war can be avoided through means of diplomacy, thereby saving millions of lives from the meat grinder of war and preserving the right of freedom and self-determination for all the nations of the world.September 1, 1939With all attempts at negotiations with Poland having failed, the German Wehrmacht and Waffen-ᛋᛋ push aside Polish frontier barriers and mobile forces race forward. Simultaneously, when news of the German invasion of Poland reaches the Presidential Palace in Mexico City, I am distraught. As despite doing everything in my power to avoid a second war, I realize that despite everything that has led to this point, even I was not meant to stop it, but at best, merely delay the inevitable. Although discouraged by the outbreak of war in Europe, I know I must prepare in the event of a worst case scenario. Suspecting that America is secretly funding anti-Axis governments in Latin America, I call for a state of general mobilization and order preparations be made for war.Within two days, the Mexican Wehrmacht invades and annexes the remaining Central American states, finally putting an end to the hostilities between our nations and dismantling their anti-Axis governments. Taken by surprise and completely overpowered, the small nations stand no chance against our new modern war machine. Meanwhile in the north, the United States remains neutral, and my allies and I hope that it does not get involved. To ensure non-intervention from America, we enlist the help of American organizations like the America First Committee, the Mexican-American Chicano Movement, the German-American Bund, and the Fascist League of North America, calling for the U.S. to retain their neutrality and no longer get involved in foreign wars. Together, these organizations rally as many as two million followers, in particular youth and World War I veterans, highly discouraging the public from taking part in any foreign affairs. In anticipation of an American invasion, I order a large defensive network be built along the US-Mexico border. Consisting of trenches, bunkers and thousands of men, using the finest weapons and materials available, fortifying it to the point where it emulates the historic Soviet defenses in the Battle of Kursk.Upon the Declarations of War by Great Britain and France on September 3rd, I immediately respond by issuing my own Declaration of War and order our naval forces in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, to invade and occupy any/all British and French possessions in the area. Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic are simultaneously invaded, with their capitals being seized within a matter of hours. Days later, Japanese-trained Mexican “Special Naval Landing Forces” invade the Bahamas, the Greater and Lesser Antilles islands, all falling in quick succession. The Landing Forces are instructed to capture the islands to use their naval ports as bases for our submarines and warships in order to acquire access to the Atlantic Ocean and further harass British supply convoys alongside German U-boats. Engineers are soon deployed to begin construction on airfields and fortified positions (if there already are, reinforce them) to establish a formidable defensive perimeter.Months pass, and I continue to carefully observe the events around the world; in East-Asia, the Empire of Japan continues its advance through China, but a recent oil embargo by the United States severs its ability to purchase oil and continue the war. Meanwhile in Europe, Germany invades Scandinavia in April 1940. Later invading the Low Countries and France on May 10th, simultaneously with a Mexican invasion of Cuba. That same day, Sir Winston Churchill is appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On June 10th, the Kingdom of Italy under Il Duce of Fascism Benito Mussolini, issues a Declaration of War on Great Britain and France. I immediately order the Mexican government to make contact with the German and Italian governments, advising Il Duce to seize the strategic island of Malta in order to achieve superiority in the Mediterranean and North Africa, as well as attack Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt. And advise the Führer to instruct the Luftwaffe to focus their efforts mainly on Britain’s radar stations, airfields and factories.September 1, 1940 - North AtlanticAs Mexican U-boats and surface ships hunt for British convoys in the Atlantic, I order their crews to be on high alert with instructions to intercept and capture any/all British ships and naval vessels heading westwards. Soon after, Mexican Naval forces intercept and capture a British troopship known as the RMS Duchess of Richmond, along with its crew and passengers, which include some of the foremost civilian and military scientists, all heading to Washington D.C.Brigadier F.C. Wallace MC (British Army)Captain H.W. Faulkner (Royal Navy)Group Captain F.L. Pearce (Royal Air Force)Professor John Cockcroft (Army Research) - Nuclear Physicist and Assistant Director of Scientific Research at the Ministry of SupplyDr. Edward George ‘Taffy’ Bowen (Radar)Arthur Edgar Woodward-Nutt, an Air Ministry official (Secretary)During a search through the ships interior, Mexican naval forces discover a small trunk: a lockable metal deed box, filled with classified scientific and technological documents. This voyage known as the infamous “Tizard Mission”, is Britain’s attempt to gift America with every scientific innovation Britain holds, in exchange for access to America’s vast industrial capacity. The ship’s crew and passengers are taken prisoner, while the RMS Duchess of Richmond, is sent below the waves.The trunk is transported to Mexico City, arriving on September 6th, the day of my 50th Birthday, where its contents are thoroughly examined. What we find is astonishing, declaring it:“The most valuable cargo ever brought to our shores”.With these scientific and technological innovations, we acquire access to:· Frisch–Peierls memorandum on the feasibility of the Atomic Bomb· Designs for Jet Engines· Rockets· Superchargers· Gyroscopic Gunsights· Submarine Detection Devices· Self-sealing Fuel Tanks· Plastic ExplosivesAnd perhaps the most important invention of World War II, a working Magnetron No.12 an advancement in radar technology 1,000x more effective than the best American counterpart.With these blueprints in our hands, I order Mexican assembly lines to begin mass-producing the devices that will change the course of the war. Every new ship and aircraft is fitted with these new machines, giving them the ability to travel anywhere in the world. Ordering copies of these blueprints to be given to the German Reich, Kingdom of Italy, and the Empire of Japan. Giving us a huge technological advantage over the Allies and helping us counter their industrial capacity.With the surrender of Cuba following the capture of Havana and the rest of the Caribbean secured, I divert a small portion of my armies to South America in particular Venezuela, to gain access to unlimited quantities of petroleum. I also send foreign diplomats to Brazil and Argentina to convince them to join the war on the side of the Axis. Promising them large territorial concessions by the end of hostilities, in exchange for natural resources and foodstuffs, as well as for Mexico to have unlimited access to Argentine and Brazilian industrial facilities until 1950.Encouraged by our successes and with their governments firmly pro-Axis, the Argentine Republic and the United States of Brazil issue a Declaration of War against Great Britain and begin mobilizing their armed forces. Allowing Mexican access to their industries and military assets.Upon their entry into the war, we begin to pressure the surrounding nations to either join the war, remain neutral and stay out of our way, or face invasion. Brazilian and Argentine naval ports provide Mexican warships and submarines with a safe place to dock and refuel. Through our combined naval strength, we transform the Atlantic Ocean into a death trap for British supply convoys coming from South Africa and India. Meanwhile, the Mexican Pacific Fleet is able to send large quantities of oil and raw materials to Japan in order to help them continue their war against China. The United States quickly takes notice of our actions, and implements a series of sanctions upon Mexico. In response, I call out the United States on their hypocrisy to the international community, pointing out that the United States is committing Casus belli by providing shipments of armaments to Great Britain and the Republic of China through the Act to Promote the Defense of the United States (Lend-Lease). As well as actively engaging and revealing the locations of Mexican and German U-boats to the British and placing an oil embargo on Japan, despite their insistence on neutrality. Declaring that the United States is therefore indirectly involved in the war, and that I’m simply doing the same for my German and Japanese allies as they are to theirs, and if they want us to stop, they must first cease any/all future Lend-Lease shipments immediately.Following America’s sanctions and the news of their role in the war, some Mexican military leaders begin to view America’s involvement as a justification for war against our country. Worrying about the possibility of an American attack, my generals and I privately discuss the possibility of our own act of war, a preemptive strike. But only to be used as a last resort, as I still hope to find a diplomatic solution and an end to this war. Even going as far as agreeing to give up claims to the lands the U.S. acquired through the Mexican-Cession and Gadsden Purchase, as many Mexican nationalists including myself, still view these territories as formally part of Mexico, but to no avail. On December 1940, I along with my generals begin to feverishly draft plans for an operation against the United States codenamed: Liberty. Every detail must be anticipated, a slip now might wreck our chances for a swift crushing victory and could ruin everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve. Wanting to be part of this historic Holy Crusade against Capitalism and over the objections of my own generals, I declare that I will personally lead the crusade against the United States. The plan calls for four simultaneous thrusts: Army Group West commanded by General Field Marshal Manuel Ávila Camacho, is to overrun the west coast and seize San Francisco, Army Group Centre under my command, is to advance to the Texan and Oklahoma oil fields, Army Group East led by General Field Marshal Juan Andreu Almazán, is to liberate and occupy the Southeast cutting off the Mississippi, while Army Groups A & B will overrun the east coast and advance to Washington D.C. Three months of final preparation go into these plans, three months that will determine the history of 1,000 years.By March 1941, the situation seems to be looking bright for the Axis Powers. German and Italian forces have seized the Suez Canal and reach the British oilfields of the Middle East. They’ve also invaded Yugoslavia and Greece following a series of pro-British coups. Turkey and the Spanish State have joined the war on the side of the Axis. While in East-Asia, the Japanese Empire is able to inflict more crushing defeats on the Republic of China and have seized control of French Indochina. Britain is beginning to feel the effects of attrition, but despite the loss of the Suez Canal and many territories, Prime Minister Churchill still refuses to surrender.June 22, 1941 - Operation BarbarossaNational Socialist Germany launches Operation Barbarossa the invasion of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. From the Baltic to the Black Sea and Eastern Europe to the Caucasus, over three million soldiers from Europe and around the world, take part in the Holy Crusade against Communism. Wanting for Mexico to share in the glory, I form an Expeditionary Force consisting of 20,000 Latin American volunteers, to aid Europe, advising the Führer to seize Moscow at the first opportunity. Within several months, the German armies capture millions of Soviet soldiers and civilians along with tanks, planes, and heavy equipment. By late-July, the Germans reach the outskirts of Leningrad, Kiev, and are approaching the gates of Moscow.December 7, 1941Despite our greatest efforts to keep the United States out of the war, the Japanese Empire is forced to launch a preemptive strike on Pearl Harbor. Causing thousands of casualties and destroying a great portion of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Knowing this is my only opportunity while America is at its weakest and my armies are fully prepared; being well trained, well equipped, battle-hardened and our technology hyper-advanced due to the captured Tizard Mission, I declare that the time to strike has come and immediately order all available forces to mobilize in preparation for our own preemptive strike.December 8, 1941At 3:15 a.m. Mexican artillery battalions open fire upon American positions all along the border, catching the American armies’ off-guard. Bewildered U.S. troops scramble to man their defenses, but are soon either captured or destroyed by heavy Mexican artillery bombardments. Meanwhile, from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, from east to west coast, thousands of Messerschmitt Bf-109s, Bf-110s, and Focke-Wulf Fw-190 long-range fighters along with thousands of Heinkel He-111s, Dornier Do-17s & Junkers Ju-87 Stuka bombers all fitted with the Magnetron No.12, soar across American territory. Attacking strategic areas such as fortifications, railways, airfields, industrial centers, and military installations. Simultaneously, from the waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, the Mexican Navy from our new aircraft carriers and battleships, open fire and begin bombarding American coastal cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Galveston, and Miami, launching our Special Naval Landing Forces to capture vital ports and establish beachheads.At dawn, as many as four Mexican Army Groups along with thousands of panzer tanks and millions of volunteers from the Americas and around the world all joining our fight against the Capitalist menace, cross the border into the United States, quickly overwhelming entire U.S. armies. The Mexican-American Non-Aggression Pact is officially over, Operation Liberty has begun.Brutal battles rage all across the border, the Mexican Luftwaffe/U.S. Army Air Forces engage in spectacular dogfights in an attempt to gain air superiority. Throughout the course of a few days to weeks, I along with the Mexican armies thrust deep into American territory. Ill coordinated U.S. counterattacks are swiftly brushed aside, resulting in the capture of tens of thousands of American soldiers. By December 15th, seven days after the start of the assault, two panzer thrusts meet up near San Antonio, Texas surrounding huge pockets of American troops. As I and the follow-up infantry arrive, more than 30,000 prisoners are taken into captivity.The deeper we advance into the United States, we often find ourselves being welcomed as liberators. Particularly from the Hispanic, German, Italian, Native-American and African-American minorities, where anti-American feelings are widespread as they had all been sent to internment camps. Meanwhile in Washington, as President Roosevelt delivers his famous “Day of Infamy” speech, he is informed about the Axis invasion from south of the border. Upon hearing the news, he falls into a state of shock and disbelief almost suffering a near breakdown, as the day he has feared for so long has finally arrived. He remains silent for more than a week. The U.S. government is now caught in a conundrum: Fight a multi-front war and risk losing more ground, or concentrate the majority of the U.S. military on fending off one enemy first. Not until December 31st, does Roosevelt appeal to his people’s patriotism in an effort to save America. Shaken but determined, President Roosevelt orders his general staff to concentrate the majority of their forces on Mexico and divert a large portion of their Navy to the Pacific to halt the Japanese advance and send a smaller force to Europe to aid their British allies. In the Eastern Front, German armies break through the last Soviet defenses and enter Moscow, while in the Far-East and the Pacific, the Japanese move to seize all territories controlled by Britain, France, the Netherlands and the United States.As December 1941 becomes January 1942, the Mexican blitzkrieg slashes deeper into American territory. It’s beginning to look as if nothing can stop us, as more battles are being won and more prisoners are being taken. In mid-January following the capture of San Antonio, several panzer commanders in particular Lieutenant Colonel Juan César Cordero Dávila begs to be allowed to race on, Operation Liberty is working like clockwork. Meanwhile, Army Groups A & B successfully push through U.S. coastal defenses and within weeks, meet up with Army Group East. At the same time, they reach the Appalachian Mountains and begin construction on fortifications using the mountains themselves as cover. Within a week, panzers reach the city of Charlotte, North Carolina deep inside America and only a couple hundred miles from Washington. On January 15th, a panzer pincer movement meets to the east of Charlotte, trapping another 31,000 American troops. After which, I order a brief pause to allow the rest of the army to catch up. Though our tanks can move at spectacular speeds, most of the army still has to walk or rely on horse drawn transport. But it still only takes them five days before they arrive and begin mopping up, the operation is completed in just nine more days. Vast columns of U.S. prisoners begin trudging south to captivity.With all the captured enemy soldiers, many Mexican officials wonder exactly what we’ll do with them. While most believe and agree that they should all be used for compulsory labor to further strengthen the Mexican war machine, others including myself disagree and offer an alternative solution. Looking to use their numbers and familiarity of the lands to our advantage, I instruct all Axis forces to attempt to convince captured soldiers that President Franklin D. Roosevelt has simply been using them as mere pawns, explaining to them that his “New Deal” never aimed at serving the interests of America or the American people. Capitalism does not seek the betterment of the nation, but aims at the total exploitation of a nation’s population and resources for one’s personal gain. Explaining that Roosevelt has been using them all as compulsory labor only to fill the pockets of the political elite, we even go as far as displaying all the horrors Roosevelt had committed in their names, to the American people: countless lynchings of African Americans and the massacres of the Native American populations.Eventually, the American people realize what they have gotten themselves into and gradually begin siding with us, with many people of various ethnic backgrounds asking to be allowed to form their own Wehrmacht/Waffen-ᛋᛋ regiments. Seizing the moment, orders are given to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-ᛋᛋ to re-arm captured soldiers and civilians and train them if necessary, creating new American, Navajo, and numerous other anti-Roosevelt armies such as the SS Division 1776 George Washington and the 100th SS Division Robert E. Lee. Meanwhile, civilians serve as compulsory labor in factories or serve as medics or in other professions. As time passes, more and more American soldiers and citizens rally to our cause while similar instructions are advised to our allies across the world.With the fall of Charlotte, Washington D.C. is now only 300 miles away, and the road lay open. Following our previous successes, it seems certain it will fall by the end of the winter, as planned. Hearing of their victory, I fly eastward to join them leaving command of Army Group Centre to General Field Marshal Pedro del Valle. But elsewhere, the Mexican advance is finding the going more difficult. The U.S. Military is counterattacking more effectively and my late-January, Army Group Centre nearing Oklahoma City has been bogged down. Meanwhile to the west, Army Group West is still more than 50 miles from San Francisco.Yet the closer we get to the capital, there are already worrying signs that the U.S. military is not going to be the pushover we’ve been expecting after all. American manpower seems endless, and recent reports indicate that more than 16 million troops have been mobilized ¾ of which are facing us, also the U.S. military now has some formidable new weapons. In particular a new tank, the 38 ton M4 Sherman which is faster and better cross-country than the PzKpfw IV. Yet for many as the blitzkrieg continues, it is easy to miss the warning signs. General Field Marshal Almazán’s forces successfully draw American forces near Baton Rouge out into the open where they are decimated. Two more American armies are utterly destroyed, 60,000 men are killed or captured with the city being taken on February 1, 1942. Soon after, we receive reports that Army Group West has been reinforced by the battle-hardened Mexican Pacific Fleet, including the Yamato-class battleship ARM Benito Juárez and new aircraft carriers which relieve pressure for our panzers and infantry, leading to the capture of San Francisco after a long drawn out fight.With superior numbers combined with the clever tactics and strategies of General Field Marshal del Valle, Axis forces are able to break through American defenses and reach the oilfields in northern Texas and Oklahoma. Upon arrival, they discover that most of the oil wells have been disabled or destroyed, Axis engineers are quickly deployed and begin working day and night to repair or rebuild the oil wells and continue production. Meanwhile, Army Group East now prepares for the final assault on Washington. Lieutenant Colonel Dávila’s panzers now repaired, refueled and rearmed, lead the armored blitzkrieg while I lead the infantry. Axis forces have a 2:1 superiority in tanks and men at the front and 3:1 in aircraft. The assault starts on March 1, 1942. Once again Lieutenant Colonel Dávila’s panzers slash deep through the U.S. Army and Marines. By the 8th, yet more American troops are surrounded, but President Roosevelt is determined to defend Washington to the last, he appoints General George S. Patton to organize the defense of the city. The people of Washington are mobilized to dig a series of defensive lines armed to the teeth with landmines, anti-tank trenches and machine gun nests.In the west, after our initial offensives, Axis forces have captured major industrial centers. This is made possible with the aid of collaborative citizens who’ve become disillusioned with Roosevelt and his government, as well as many U.S. divisions having been diverted eastward to counter our advances. Although Mexican generals wish for new offensives, shortages on manpower, cause further major assaults to be delayed or cancelled. Instead, the Axis forces are instructed to dig-in and set up defensive positions along major rivers and mountain ranges. Simultaneously, I order my Atlantic Fleet including our aircraft carriers, U-boats and Bismarck-class battleships like the ARM Agustín de Iturbide, to open fire on eastern cities like New York, Washington D.C. and Boston. Destroying government buildings, industrial centers, and shipyards. Thereby giving my Axis comrades in Europe, Asia and the Pacific more time to seize more territory and fortify their claims, inflicting greater defeats on the Allies.March 12, 1942I launch Operation Knightfall, the final drive along the route to Washington D.C. 14 Mexican tank and 74 infantry divisions, a total of 1,929,406 officers and men, take part in the offensive. President Roosevelt has good cause for panic now, facing a disaster which might sweep away the whole of the United States, he hopes that a miracle will save them. By mid-March, lack of paved roads and increasingly stubborn American resistance, leads to Army Group East still being some 50 miles short of D.C. Angered by these delays, I order the Luftwaffe to bomb and strafe any/all American positions around Washington, and for the panzers to charge forward clearing the way for our infantry. On the Washington Front, Army Group East now begins its final push to capture the U.S. capital.By March 16th, I along with the leading units are just 19 miles from Pennsylvania Avenue, some reconnaissance patrols claim they can see the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building and the Washington Monument in the distance. The generals and I realize we must act swiftly before American reserves can severely hamper our offensive. To soften up defenses, I order Axis artillery to open fire upon American positions, the first Mexican shells strike in or around Pennsylvania Avenue, while the Luftwaffe engages the remnants of the U.S. Army Air Force over Washington. With our morale at its peak, I draw out the twin katanas I had purchased from Japan and prepare for combat. With a determined battle cry of “Viva México!”, I lead a massive charge towards the capital, panzers race forward at full speed while Axis infantry units follow closely behind, engaging the cities defenders in brutal hand-to-hand combat. It is here where my 21st century swordsmanship skills are fully revealed to both allies and enemies, using my twin katanas to cut through enemy soldiers without mercy, moving with lightning speed despite my age to everyones utter shock.The Americans attempt several well-prepared counterattacks and while some are successful, they’re simply outgunned and are eventually pushed back. More prisoners are taken, however, we notice that unlike before, these prisoners are younger than most and are members of the United States National Guard, and local Police. Many are as young as the age of 17, a sign that the Americans are getting desperate and are willing to use anything and anyone to defend their capital. Another thing we notice is that there are far less tanks and aircraft than we expected, a sign that our recent capture of the American oilfields is taking its toll. After three days of hard fighting, our forces finally break through the last of their defensive lines and by March 20th, Axis armies reach the outer workings of Washington. Now it is street fighting, house-by-house, building by building. Everyone a natural redoubt for desperate defenders. Casualties mount, resistance stiffens, but the Axis armies cannot be halted now. Within hours, Mexican attacks force the remaining resistance to retreat further into the city. Axis forces follow, and soon stumble upon a well-fortified capital. The Americans spared no expense in setting up defenses. Determined to end this war here and now, I call for every Mexican soldier, to fight like they’ve never fought before for the Fatherland.Later, as Axis forces converge on the center of Washington, the fighting embraces everything and everyone in the battlefield. Military and civilian casualties continue to rise while the Luftwaffe pounds the city to rubble. Eventually, no longer able to bear such losses, several American officers and generals within the city, either surrender or commit suicide unable to bear the idea of an Axis victory, while others continue to fight valiantly alongside their soldiers.After three days of intense battle, the last desperate resistance in Washington collapses. Mexican PzKpfw VI “Tiger I” tanks roar into Pennsylvania Avenue and turn on the White House and U.S. Capitol, providing cover fire for Elite Waffen-ᛋᛋ Panzergrenadier divisions who assault the two buildings with flame throwers and frag grenades. The desperate defenders hold out for one heroic hour as savage hand-to-hand fighting erupts. Men of both sides hunt each other through the burning smoke filled rooms, the battle is decided with submarine-guns, grenades and even knives. One small group carrying Victory Banner No.5, fight their way through the maze of corridors. Breaking out onto the shell torn roof, Axis troops raise the Mexican banner over the U.S. Capital. Mexican soldiers break out in a thunderous cheer and some give the Roman salute which is captured on film by Axis war correspondents - invaluable propaganda. Fighting continues in several isolated pockets. General George S. Patton is killed in one of the last pockets of resistance. Meanwhile, President Roosevelt and the First Lady are soon discovered hiding within their secret underground bunker attempting to commit suicide. Through quick action, they are quickly apprehended and are transported to the remains of the captured White House by the triumphant Gestapo. With his country in ruins and no effective way of continuing the war, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is left with no other alternative and surrenders unconditionally to the Axis Powers on April 1, 1942 along with the remnants of the U.S. government. In the Instrument of Surrender, the United States of America is to return Mexico's former territories as well as hand over any and all traces of the Manhattan Engineering District.Upon America’s surrender, I return to Mexico City where I make a jubilant speech announcing the fall of Washington D.C. and rejoice in the immense defeat of the United States of America. Predicting that the whole rotten Capitalist house of cards will come tumbling down. My speech ends with a solemn “Dios está con nosotros - Amen.” The crowd replies with enthusiastic “Sieg Heil” for fifteen minutes. This speech is the first indication to the Allies of the disaster in the United States. With America defeated, the Axis Powers can now concentrate all their full military strength on the Soviet Union, the Republic of China, Africa, Great Britain and the Pacific.May 8, 1942The Second World War is officially over with the Axis Powers victorious. With the end of the war and the world as a whole liberated, I along with the victorious Axis soldiers return to our respective homelands to a hero’s welcome and with a new sense of pride and honor the likes of which the world has never seen before. With the defeat of the United States and the Soviet Union, our combined Wehrmacht and Waffen-ᛋᛋ with the help of foreign volunteers, have effectively liberated the world, from the threat of plutocratic Capitalism and Bolshevik Communism and have saved countless lives.With the Second World War officially over, our countries are in need of reconstruction. In time, our war-torn lands are spectacularly rebuilt through the combined efforts of our people. Our capitals, cities and monuments are all built anew. During the years of reconstruction, I ask my friend Adolf Hitler to provide me with copies of his plans to rebuild Berlin to use on Mexico City and rebuild it as well, thereby establishing Mexico City as the Capital of the Americas whereas Berlin later renamed Germania, becomes the Capital of Europe.The United Mexican States and National Socialist Germany are the world’s strongest military powers. With an abundance of fuel and natural resources, our industries experience a massive economic boom similar to what the United States experienced historically. The fruits of this prosperity: new automobiles, suburban houses and other consumer goods are made available to more people than ever before. New road networks, advanced railway systems, and other massive construction projects are built, with this prosperity eventually spreading to neighboring countries. The United States is also rebuilt with the help of occupying forces, along with the installment of a new government, led by the surviving President Huey Long. President Long wastes no time in fully implementing his Share our Wealth Program, working tirelessly to rebuild the American economy and gradually fulfill his dream to make “Every Man a King”.As the postwar 40’s turn into the booming 50’s, with our nations prosperous and soldiers coming home, the United Mexican States, National Socialist Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Empire of Japan experience baby-booms of our own. As we are now be able to sustain larger populations with the help of annexed lands and occupied territories.With the completion of Germania by the late 1940’s, the Führer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler holds a massive World’s Fair in the new German capital in 1950, where I attend and witness the great progress of Europe in the years since the war. After which, he ultimately retires to his hometown of Linz, which has become the Art Capital of Europe, he is succeeded by Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production, Dr. Albert Speer as Reichspräsident and by Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Dr. Joseph Goebbels as Reichskanzler. Il Duce of Fascism Benito Mussolini follows retirement shortly after, and is succeeded by Blackshirt Party Quadrumvir and Maresciallo dell’Aria, Italo Balbo.A huge period of technological development follows the success of the Axis Powers, with additional resources at our disposal, our scientists and engineers are able to develop and mass-produce advanced jet fighters, super-heavy tanks, and high-tech bombers. In addition, on December 25, 1944 the United Mexican States is the first nation to develop the world’s first Atomic Bomb with Germany testing its own in June 1945. As rocket technology able to flourish as well, we create a new Mexican Space Program on July 29, 1951 - igniting a Space Race, but falling behind on several aspects compared to the German Space Program led by none other than German rocket scientist Dr. Wernher von Braun. With enough funding and encouragement from the National Socialist German government, Dr. von Braun is able to send the first man-made object into space. However, we manage to beat the Germans in sending the first man to the Moon by the late 1950’s or early 1960’s.As time passes, the people hope that the future holds nothing but peace and prosperity. On September 2, 1950 - I hold a massive party rally in my hometown of Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila which has become the Art Capital of the Americas. In which I proclaim the historic event as the “Rally of Peace”, and unveil a massive golden monument of me shaking hands with God himself, inscribed with the words:“Through our faith in the Lord, we have achieved the impossible. For if it wasn’t for your guidance and wisdom, none of this would be possible. God is with us, Amen.”As the years pass along with my age, I continue to lead the Greater Hispanic Reich while making all necessary efforts to ensure that the regime I’ve worked so hard to create continues to survive and thrive. Knowing that I will not live forever, I begin to make any/all necessary preparations for when my time on Earth comes to an end and begin writing my Last Will and Testament, in which I declare that upon my death, the position of Führer of Mexico is to be permanently abolished and replaced with the positions of Reich President and Reich Chancellor.In order to ensure that the best possible leader is selected, I create a new Senate modeled after the ancient Roman Senate, where power is concentrated and where a new Reich President and Chancellor will be chosen. In the meantime, seeing that nearly all my objectives have been successfully achieved, I take some time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the world I have helped create through many years of patience, careful planning, and execution.By the mid-1970’s or early-1980’s after leading the nation for many decades and winning a Revolution and World War in the process, my time would inevitably come. Late one evening, as I walk through the many rooms and halls of the Presidential Palace in Mexico City, I encounter my many secretaries, generals, and other government leaders before retiring for the night. However, instead of bidding them “goodnight” as I normally do, I bid them “farewell” to their confusion, as I enter my private chamber and lay to rest on my mattress, and perish in my sleep. But I would die happily, knowing that I have made the greatest contribution in history and helped shape the world to how it should be, and knowing that together through the help and guidance of the Greater Hispanic Reich, the Greater Germanic Reich, the New Roman Empire, and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the people of the world enter a new era, an era of order, peace and prosperity that will last for 1,000 years, if not forever.
