New turn: January - April 1936

- Leader of the Freikorps Wilhelm Keitel attempts to consolidate his power over the rebel faction by arresting his main rival, the right-wing politician Wolfgang Kapp. This sparks a wave of outrage from Kapp’s supporters who, led by the HRE’s old intelligence director Reinhard Heydrich, “the hangman”, march on Berlin with an army. Keitel, in an act of poorly calculated defiance, executes Kapp, at which point Heydrich’s Freikorps faction declares its breaking away from Keitel’s faction, and begin waging war against the other group.

- Continued civil war in the HRE through the winter, living conditions and infrastructure in Germany are incredibly low.

- Moroccan troops lay siege to the Andalusian capital Córdoba.

- Rome’s emperor declares that the empire shall never surrender to invaders. Romans have survived for two millennia, and shall continue to fight on. However, not all Romans share his sentiment, with some army divisions elsewhere in the realm defecting to the Cappodokian side. Nonetheless, the Siege of Constantinople will continue.
