August 21
A raid has occurred deep inside Paraguay today. British mercenaries working for Argentina have killed several soldiers and freed a political prisoner. A nearby airstrip was also attacked and destroyed. Attempting to escape many of the enemy were killed and a Ju 52 destroyed. Our gallant air force scrambled to intercept but were attacked inside our airspace by unidentified aircraft. At first thought to be the latest I-100s they are in fact a type unknown. They were black monoplanes with dragon insignia. No losses were reported.

This attack on our nation must not go unpunished. From today the border will be closed and all Argentine and British nationals expelled. Any Argentine soldiers which invade our territory will be fired upon.

Guilty Argentina now produces Luis Contreras and gives him the freedom to raise more money for arms to fuel the traitor’s actions against the state. This is proves he was in Argentina all the time and that they invaded our nation to capture him. The government today called for his return into our hands for re-imprisonment as a political criminal.

Abai in the Caazapa Department has fallen to the rebels. Loyal troops are massing for a counter attack. Meanwhile further promised Italian aircraft have failed to arrive and diplomatic attempts to secure delivery have been unsuccessful. Argentina has confiscated them and refuses to hand them over to us. They have also stopped supplies of oil from reaching us. The fact the evil South African Empire has joined forces to strangle us proves the colonial powers never change and they have taken control of Argentinean policy.

Mass graves across southern Paraguay have been discovered, some 8,000 bodies are in them and more than 600 have been killed in the past week by the evil regime as so-called political opponents but they were nothing more than poor farmers and peasants trying to earn a living and feed their families. Every day more troops join our forces and many units refuse to fight us. We badly need more arms and finance to overthrow the government and return our nation to the peaceful times it should enjoy. We shall be victorious!

Another raid by British mercenaries has been defeated near the border. Heavy fighting in the south of the country continues but the Army is slowing gaining the advantage. Our air force is pounding rebel positions day and night and causing heavy casualties. Most main road routes are now reopen and armoured cards and trucks are making regular patrols.

Sept 29
Abai retaken, losses were low but 4,000 traitors have been killed in action and 800 others who aided the rebels. Let this be a lesson, anyone who aids the rebels will pay in blood. We shall show no mercy. Long live the President.

Overwhelmed by government forces Abai had to be abandoned and our forces have now dispersed. We have lost about 700 men and many more have been murdered in the town by Army thugs. Until foreign aid arrives we will change tactics and begin guerrilla warfare across the country. We shall strike the Army camps and main highways to make them look everywhere for us while we wait for our next push.

The Brotherhood of Santa Maria...Mexico wont like this, or the fact that Argentina is supporting a rebel Catholic group.

The Argentine ambassador in Pretoria calls his SAE counterpart for an expensive private luncheon to discuss matters over Paraguay and put minds at rest. He asks which does SAe perfer in power, a crackpot military dictator or a government by democratic means with public support. He, of course, does not mention Argentine annexation as a third option.

[OOC He is as much in the dark as anyone else, at this point in time no proof has emerged to implicate Argentina. Even the President was abroad at the time...]
