National radio - Free America

1.1.1950

In an empty and dark living room, on a shelf right up the lit fireplace, was a broadcasting radio. It was barely visible, due to the windows covered by wood planks not letting much moonlight into the room.  

Thank you for tuning in to our scheduled program. I am your host, Quinton Floyd, and you are listening to the national radio, free America!

Jazzy melody filled the room, piercingly strolling through the silence.  

We are bringing you only the most recent news from the front, and we did so for six years now! Isn't that amazing? Time sure flows by, right folks?

For a moment only static can be heard. No one answered him. 

Happy new year! An old saying tells us that if the year begins well, it will continue being well, and end up amazing. And if that is true, then the civil war is practically over! Today, around 2 PM, the state of Utah has been freed from communists by the allied forces of the united states of America and Dominion of Canada. Earl Browder, one of the two leaders of the American communist party, was arrested in Wendover near the Utah border and will face a trial for treason. The battle of Wendover lasted for almost three hours due to the fact that the communists managed to get heavy artillery into the center of the city, making it difficult to attack directly even with the numbers on our side. Communists suffered heavy casualties. Almost two hundred of them were captured, hundred and sixty were either killed or heavily wounded, last bits of their artillery were captured, and Earl is out of the game. Now he can only hope that they have Marx in the prison library. But that is not all. In fear of both armies continuing to march west into Nevada, the communists moved most of their forces from Montana to the new front, awaiting another assault. But that assault never came. At last not where they thought it would. Just as they moved their forces, the third Canadian army just crossed the border from the south, wanting to break through to reinforce the fourth Canadian army. The communists, caught off guard and outnumbered, stood no chance. Within just a few hours, another state was freed. With only little casualties on the Canadian side. 

But the real fight was about to come. The American nationalists, also known as free Americanists, sent their soldiers into the state as well. Around six thousand of them, in hope of quickly achieving victory and replacing one extremist regime with another. It would have surely resulted in a massacre. Luckily, a young U.S. pilot, Jack Eckerd, noticed them crossing the Yellowstone River, and immediately reported it to his superior officers. Thanks to him, the Canadians were able to dig in and secure their defensive positions before the nationalists arrived. They defended their positions long enough for our army to join the fighting and slowly encircle the enemy. When they realized what was happening, it was already too late. Out of the six thousand, less than a thousand got away, and four hundred laid down their weapons and surrendered. 

''Today was a good day for our nation. I thank all of our brave soldiers and our Canadian brothers. We made a big step in the direction of ending this horrendous war that divided our nation. I can assure everyone listening that the blood of our people did not go to waste. Soon after Montana was liberated, I received a letter from mister William Z. Foster in which he wants to negotiate for peace. I believe that we will be able to peacefully end the war with the communists very soon. But we can not get too optimistic yet, there is still danger in the East. The war is not over, but it will be soon. And we will win.'' Stated President Henry Agard Wallace. 

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Just as the president said, today was a good day, but we only won the battle, and not the war. And now more than ever, when the light at the end of the tunnel is becoming visible, we have to fight even more. You can enlist every day from 5 AM to 10 PM at your closest town hall, military station, or anti-air bunker. Not able to be a soldier? No problem! There are so many other things you can do for your nation, and each one is just as honorable as the other ones. Do your part.
