October 8 In Copenhagen the Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and prime minister Knud Kristensen sign the mutual defense treaty between the United States and Denmark ( the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Denmark is a treaty and dos not fall under the agreement made in the Zurich peace deal which stats that Denmark is to remain neutral and will not become a member of any alliance or organization as this is a agreement between two nations , the mutual defense treaty enables Denmark to receive military supplies , guarantee of the independence for the kingdom of Denmark and training of their armed forces ).

October 9 A day after signing the mutual defense treaty between the United States and Denmark the Provisional Government of the German empire sends a formal protest to the United States Ambassador to Germany as the consider this a violation of the Zurich peace deal ( the Provisional Government of the German empire decided only to send a formal protest to the United States as it has acted as a mediator in the peace talks and probably will in the future and therefore have decided not to make much fuss of this Treaty in order not to jeopardize the peace talks and cease fire , this also show that the Zurich peace deal is no longer working as the United States has begun to bend the treaty to their advantages and many voices in the United States still wonder why this deal was signed in the first place which also came up in a private conversation during the Soviet-German-United States conference in July of this year between Chancellor Ludwig Beck and president Truman where the discuses it as both sides are wiling to make a new treaty which can replace the Zurich peace deal but problems that can arise in both country prevent them from doing so at this time ).

October 22 A RAF squadron mad op of bombers fly low over Bombay harbor in a show of force wile British Destroyers begin to sail from Trincomalee in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) , wile this is happening the mutineers are joined by people on the streets across British India demanding independence now instead for Great Britain promise to give independence to India when Japan has bin defeated ( the reason why the mutineers began to revolt has bin pushed to the background as the call for independence has taken over and many of the mutineers want a independent India as well ).
The Colossus class aircraft carrier formerly HMS Ocean and now named the Joffre is commissioned in to Marine Nationale service where it will become the French navy second carrier operational and with the carrier Arromanches deployed in the south Chinese Fleet the only French carrier operating with the French Mediterranean Fleet as the Italian Regia Marina only carrier the RN Aquila is ending its sea and carrier trails in the Adriatic Sea (with this the French have two carrier and one pending wile Italy has one in service and one still being build and another pending ).
