The French-Japanese Cold
War (1945-2000)
The
Franco-Japanese Cold War lasted officially from 1945-2000, although the threat
of Japanese attack would remain prevalent until after the Franco-Mexican War
(2018-2027). This time would be a very rocky and unpredictable time for the
French Federal Union.
Xavier
Lonance (1945-1950)
Following the
2FIW, PM Lonance brokered a very wise (at the time) peace settlement between
his country and the Eastern European Powers. Russia would be divided at Moscow.
The East, Japan, the West, the British, Americans, and French. In 1946,
however, Lonance’s government would release something the world had never seen.
In March, Lonance’s head of Science took a video clip of a Nuclear Explosion.
Several Images of this clip would be distributed through news channels,
newspapers, and would be seen on the windows of small shops for half a decade,
until the Japanese came out with a worthy counterweight.
In 1947,
Lonance authorized production of the F9 Kitty Hawk III Jet Fighter; the first
mass produced Jet Fighter ever. Also in 1947, Parliament gave the slight sliver
of China conquered in the Franco-Chinese War Statehood. In 1949, the British,
French, and Americans merged their Russia into West Russia and gave it
independence.
In 1950,
Lonance’s Canadian State Minister, Diane Waters, announced her running in the
next election.
Diane Waters
(1950-1962)
Diane Waters,
the first woman Prime Minister, was elected in the 1950 election. Her post was
a vital one in the coming decade, with Japan’s constant threats. In 1951, Diane
Waters authorized creation of the French Nuclear Defense Corps, the sixth
branch of service in France.
In 1952, Japan
fielded their first nuclear missile. Their tests had taken place in an element
of Mexico, one of their closest allies, that was uninhabited, known as “White
Sands”. In 1953, Waters’ Administration ordered the production of the U13
Prowler, a spy plane designed to take pictures of Japan. The aircraft was
created in Dassault’s Lackshack, which was named “Lackshack” due to its
extensive use in the 1FIW to repair aircraft, although it often would not have
the correct parts to do so. Waters would expand this facility in 1955.
In 1954,
Waters launched the GRASP (GReater AeroSpace Program) with its headquarters in
Quebec. Two launching sites, both 500 square miles big, each with a launching
site and a landing site, were built just off the Hudson Bay in a town called
Winstown and another in Anchorage, the latter in Alaska.
In 1955,
Waters expanded the Dassault Airfirm by folding it into the Department of
Sciences. Dassault then was granted 2,500 Square Miles of Land in Alaska, close
to the nearby Fort Yukon, which would be a vital base by 1980.
In 1956,
Waters authorized the creation of the Department of Military Sciences, under
the Department of Sciences, and Dassault, Juneau Naval Laboratories, Toulon
Naval Laboratories, and Paris Military Science Laboratories were quickly folded
into the new branch.
In 1958,
Waters was informed of the creation of a new Air Defense System. The new system
was product of nearly ten years of French Scientists. A new missile, radar
enhanced to track down and kill enemy missiles using the new system, would cost
the French Military 600 million apiece. Only 3 would be ever produced. In 1959,
Waters ordered development of a laser system to shoot down satellites and
nuclear missiles.
In 1961,
Waters gave Vietnam Statehood, and Morocco soon followed in 1962. This would
successfully stop the rebellions that took place in Vietnam.
Chandler
Joson (1962-1973)
In 1963, two
U13 Prowlers over Egypt spotted disturbing evidence of a troop buildup, but
that wasn’t all. The Prowlers spotted a triangle formation of five nuclear
missiles, pointed in the general direction of France. In the coming days, three
more were spotted.
In March,
newly elected PM Joson authorized creation of a new Special Forces unit, called
the Legion Special Forces, part of the French Foreign Legion. By May, three
eight man units were primed for combat. In early June, they learned of their
objective.
On July 3,
the first unit would enter Egypt as civilians, but would hide submachine guns
under their robes. On July 7 and 10, the second and third units would follow.
At midnight July 13, these men would go to separate missile sites, grab the
nuclear warheads, and leave by a helicopter escorted by the newest French
Aircraft, the F4 Doghound.
On July 13,
the attack went off without a hitch.
In 1966,
Joson again increased the land for The Lackshack and the space for Fort Yukon
soon followed. In 1967, The Lackshack began testing equipment at Yukon, the F4C
Doghound being the first of these tests.
In 1969,
Joson created the Foreign Naval Fleet, a wing of the French Foreign Legion,
consisting of a carrier, 15 Frigates, 4 Cruisers, 3 Amphibious Assault Ships,
and seven submarines. In 1972, the FIIS discovered hidden finance charges in
Joson’s Federal Profile. An investigation ensued, and Joson was subsequently
impeached.
Jacques
Oreleans (1972-1984)
Following the
conviction, impeachment, and jailing of Ex-Prime Minister Joson, Oreleans ran
for Prime Minister. He would win by a landslide, easily replacing Joson. In
1973, Joson granted a production grant to Canadian Arms, who would produce the
French Automatic Assault Weapon (FAAW). The FAAW would become standard issue
Assault Rifle to the French Military by 1976. In 1977, the French Federal Union
under Oreleans re-established a Military Alliance with the Turkish Republic
(practically a reformed Ottoman Empire). In 1978, Luxembourg requested
Admittance as a Province into the Union, which would be granted in 1979.
In 1980,
Oreleans granted Canadian Arms, French Arms, and Midwest Arms admittance into
the Department of Military Sciences. In 1981, the Lackshack in Alaska tested
the F119A Super Cat Stealth Air Superiority Fighter, and tested it on March 5,
1982. Parliament immediately granted a production grant to the French Federal
Union. By 1984, Armee de la Air would have over 300 over the aircraft.
Louise
Falisse (1984-1996)
Prime
Minister Falisse, the second Female Prime Minister, and the first, who had gone
to an overseas college (Harvard University), would weather the French Federal
Union through a technological boom and into the first Olympics (Summer 1984).
In summer
1984, the French Government hosted the first Summer Olympics in Paris. Despite
an attempt to bomb the stadium by a Palestine Terrorist Group, the French
Government deemed it a rather large success.
In 1985, the
first Personal Computers were put up for sale on the civilian market. In 1986,
the first Winter Games were held in the French Province of Switzerland. The
first Japenese Mobile Phones went up on the market in 1988, and the French
Phones followed in 1989. In 1993, Japanese Parliament voted to put East Russia
under an independent government due to increasing revolts.
In 1996, the
third Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta.
Arvin Astor
(1996-2008)
Prime
Minister Astor was the founder of the company “Viking Land Systems”. In 1998,
VLS sent in a request for inclusion to Department of Military Sciences. It was
quickly accepted. In 1999, Astor’s second child, Danielle, was born. In 2000,
Mexico moved their capital from Mexico City to Phoenix. Soon after, 25,000
Legionnaires were deployed on “Training Exercises” in British Colombia. They
would remain there for 18 years.
