June 1 After two days the marshal coup participants have taken control over the city of Moscow and managed to arrested Beria who during the brief battle was arrested by forces loyal to the coup ( the marshal coup participants have decided that Beria who is one of the feared persons in the soviet union is to get the blame as the now he is the perfect scapegoat ).

June 6 Stalin despite being the reason for the coup participants to take action body is laid next to Lenin body in Lenin's Mausoleum where the people can visits his body before as he as a yet to determent date will be buried ( the new politburo wants to keep the appearance that Beria was the one that killed Stalin and therefore decided that Stalin body will lay next to Lenin body for the time being ).

The new politburo orders that all 53 Internal Troops divisions and 20 Internal Troops brigades active in the soviet union are to be reduced in numbers and it functions to be taken over by special units of the soviet army ( this includes the gulag labor camps and guarding the borders of the soviet union ).

June 23 With a new regime in power in the soviet union and believing that mediating a between the soviets and the Germans will benefit the united states president Truman offers to mediate between them in the hopes of ending the eastern war and showing the US congress who still is busy with the Congressional peace deal Investigating Committee that making peace with Germany was a mistake and the US has to move on in ending the war in Europe and create peace there ( the Congressional peace deal Investigating Committee is still questioning people related to the Zurich peace deal and because of that president Truman wants to show the people of the united states that he is concerned about making peace as he knows that the empire of Germany and the central alliance are here to stay and a collapse of Germany ore the soviet union is not in the best interest in the united states who still is fighting the empire of Japan in the pacific ).
Believing now is the right thing to students from schools , universities and other young people in the Finish capitol city of Helsinki go on the street demanding that the soviet union leafs Finland and free elections are to be held , the demonstration which number 5,000 begins small and peaceful both are watch by the Finish democratic army and soviet Helsinki garrison troops who have orders not to brake the demonstration up yet.

June 25 In the Kremlin the new politburo after hearing the request from the united states to mediate between them and Germany is put under consideration as operation red force after a very good start is now going bad for the soviet forces on the east front as the German continuo their counter attacks and recapturing territory the soviet previous captured during the operation. More then 20,000 protesters have join the students in their protest for free elections and the removal of the soviet union from Finland , latter in the day a crowed gathered around the Yleisradio radio building which was heavily guarded by FDA soldiers who refused to allow the delegation to broadcast their demands what resulted was the delegation who wanted to entered where arrested by GRU agents who where present near the building causing a fight to brake out in which the GRU agents fire on the crowd killing many ( the GRU has taken over several of the former NKVD duty's as it is being disbanded du its link with Beria and where present to monitor the radio station in case its occupants decided to join the protesters , the FDA soldiers who where guarding the building where also shoot and when news reached other FDA soldiers that the soviet fired on FDA soldiers and a innocent crowd many begin to question which side the belong to).

June 26 The first bombing mission of MIAG attached B-24 Liberators based out of Iran against targets in the independent Republic of Mahabad is done when 3 B-24s drop 11,800 kg of bombs on Mahabad which is the capitol of the self proclaim independent Republic of Mahabad ( the US Military Iran Advisory Group which trains and assist the Imperial Iranian Army which now has almost more then 20,000 soldiers ready to move in the region wile the US also has send more then 30 Stuart light tanks which are donated to the Imperial Iranian Army but are operated by the US Military Iran Advisory Group which was formed after the Washington DC agreement between the soviet union and Iran in where the united states promised both nations to help Iran in resolving the independent Republic of Mahabad matter in return of the soviet pullback from Iran ).
The finish Communist Party Secretary and chairman of the government Otto Ville Kuusinen request that the soviet union assist in his view a demonstration that is becoming a threat to the finish democratic republic survivability this is manly because several FDA soldiers have chosen the side of the protesters and that several FDA military depots in the finish capitol have bin raided with their weapons distributed to other protesters. The Germans start operation Falke which involves German army group Belarus forces consist of more then 1000 tanks and will try to outflank the soviet who are poring out the German Belarus panther line gap the have created ( the central alliance nations on the east front who are part of German army group Belarus are the German-Italian Panzer Army and the Spanish Expeditionary Corps Russia ).

June 27 More Arado Ar 232 transport plane manage to land successful on landings strips in Kurdish controlTurkey despite roaming Turkish and soviet fighters ( the Luftwaffe uses these airstrips in remote areas control by the Kurdish forces in order to send more weapons and equipment to the Kurdish fighters then the previous air drops where doing plus with the soviet having lost a majority of fighters over the east front many fighters detachments have bin send to bolster the soviet air force leaving the Turkish air force mostly alone battling the central alliance in the air making it easier for the Luftwaffe to land transport planes in Turkey itself ). Under orders from the new politburo minister of defense Zhukov authorizes the soviet Helsinki garrison to assist the FDA in bringing order to the city of Helsinki wile also ordering troops present in other parts of Finland to prevent any demonstration from spilling out and to take any action needed and also authorizing more troops to be send to assist the soviet Helsinki garrison and FDA ( the politburo fears that if the situation in Helsinki is not resolved quickly the it could spread and the Germans ore even the united states will get involved , Marshall Zhukov did not participant in the marshal coup but was asked as somebody who is hugely popular with the military to take op the positions of commander of the soviet forces and Ministry of Defense for the time being as the now that he only has the best interest in mind of the soviet union and is not a threat to the new politburo ).
Second day of operation Falke as the soviet 1st and 2nd Belorussian Fronts believing that the Germans would attack them head on are surprise to notice the German have outflank them and are attacking them from the sides wile other German forces begin to close the 200 miles long deep gap in the Belarus panther line in the aim to enclose the soviet fronts and to them destroy them. June 28 Soldiers of the soviet Helsinki garrison begin to be station outside the finish Parliament building and are deployed at key bridges and crossroads and have begun reliving FDA soldiers guarding military depots that have not yet bin raided by the protestors in the finish capitol.

June 29 With news about demonstrations in Helsinki arriving at the desk of Admiral Canaris he orders Oberstleutnant Otto Skorzeny who already was making planes to deployed the RSK to Turkey to instead prepare the RSK and a group of free finish soldiers under his command to be drop in Helsinki where the are to take command , aiding , training and organizingtghe Finish resistance to the soviets in Helsinki ,the only thing he dos not like is that he has no more then four days before he will be drop in the city ( the now Oberstleutnant Otto Skorzeny was already busy getting to now the RSK soldiers when he was ordered to appear before Admiral Canaris where he heard about his new mission ).
After two days of fighting the soviet marshal in command of the Belarus sector which has the 1st , 2nd and 3rd Belorussian Fronts under his control decides he can not risk being encircled as the massive flanking attack by German army group Belarus , the closing of the Belarus panther line gap by other German forces and the lack of air support are costing him dearly but he knows that with his forces now retreating the soviet who probably can hold out longer du having more manpower available will lose any advantage the have , but he also knows that with the new regime change in Moscow any retreat if absolutely needed to be don will not be punish as hard as if he wanted to retreat under the Stalin regime , after thinking it thru he orders his adjutant to send a message to the General Headquarters of the soviet armed forces in which he request orders to continuo ore has permission to prevent the Germans from closing the Belarus panther line gap his forces have created ( the German army groups north and south Ukraine are fighting their way back to the Bismarck/Buh river line wile the Turkish front remain stable after the failed attempt of the soviet 1st Turkish front and Turkish army to cross the Bosporus strait and capture the Bulgarian occupied city of Istanbul was halted by German army group east lead by Field Marshall Kesselring who with the situation on the Turkish front stable again is ordered to redeploy several German and Romanian army divisions to aid the German army group south Ukraine , the German army group east consist of the Bulgarian 2nd Occupation Corps , Bulgarian 2nd and 4th army Corpo di Spedizione Italiano in Turkey( CSIT ) which also has the Corsica Legion étrangère Corse under its command , two divisions of the royal Romanian army and the German Tenth Army made mostly op of infantry divisions ).

June 30 A large group of protesters gatherers in front of the finish Parliament Building where a large force of the soviet Helsinki garrison is present when soviet units begin shooting into the crowd from the rooftops of neighboring buildings , but the crowd supplied by arms taken from the FDA or given by finish soldiers who have joined the uprising begin to shoot back escalating a already dangerous situation. Marshall Zhukov commander of the soviet forces and Ministry of Defense reads the message send by the commander of the Belarus sector and begins to think that with the Stalin regime in power the operation red force was going wheal and now whit a new regime in power the table again have turned in favor to the Germans , latter a day later he sends his message to the commander of the Belarus sector a message that will decide operation red force successes and also the war itself.
