Franco-Japanese Cold War (1945-2000)

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.
