This cabal includes prominent figures such as Kristina Padera, the Minister of Food; Hugo Vastis, the Minister of Industry and leader of the Catholic Party; Joachim Pino, the head of Public Security and later the Parliament Speaker; Cardinal Birnch, an agent of the Vatican; and Kyra Rachel, a Chicago journalist serving imperialist interests.

Mac-Hill and Padera orchestrate an economic blockade to create the illusion of a humanitarian crisis, blaming the Soviet Union for widespread hunger while disguising U.S. involvement as charitable aid.

With his plans unraveling, Mac-Hill attempts a military intervention, enlisting Tito's forces from Yugoslavia to lead a southern invasion with U.S. support.

Despite these efforts, the resistance, led by Communist Party activists like Nikola Slaveno, Hanna Lichta, and Max Venta, alongside left-wing Social Democrats and agrarian leaders such as Costa Varra, mobilizes workers, peasants, and partisans to quash the uprising.

With the Communists firmly in power, a delegation travels to Moscow to sign a Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance with the USSR, solidifying their alliance against imperialist threats.
