[UNFA-MAAA-SSCA-TESU] Multi-Regional Occurrences Thread

[Atarashi]

A lore reset is put on effect on the UFNA Region. Actions and events that involved the MAAA were all removed, and those that didn't involve the MAAA at all stayed like the current crisis. ZOCOM remains created by an alternative reasons. The 2016 Earthquake of Atarashi was also removed.

"Prologue to Zero Hour"
King Demitrus Missile Launch Facility
African Federation of Baraccas

---

The Boss watched the final preparations of the missile launch facility. With most of the country under his control, part of that with his massive arsenal from his own private military company, the man stood above the observation post to oversee the preparations to challenge the world for a massive campaign of a united hegemony. The 3.5 Million Strong Baraccas Armed Forces were strengthened by a massive military overhaul and a front-based technology advancements caused by his PMC. A Black General, on his sixties, Farum Mujakeet, stood next to the Boss.

"..When this hits a global center, we will make our attack on our neighboring rival, Caracaria." Said Mujakeet, as he also watch the missile about to be launched at any moment, with the railings being detached for launch preparations. "...I hope I am not wrong about you. You have liberated our country from oppressive regimes of Capitalism and Communism."

"..And so I did." The Boss threw off his cigarette. "..For a long time, the Patriots stood idly on world politics, and many inter-rift confusions caused people to be fucked up. I'm not gonna lie to you General, when we start this new day, you'll be up to whatever happens to this country."

"What about you?"

The Boss laughed, as he starts to walk away from the deck. "I'm only lending a nation a hand. I'm no leader. But I think you are, and you better make things right."

Kazuma Air and Naval Base
Schante City, East Frevarria

---

"This is Kazuma Air and Naval Base Command. We have a confirmation of a missile launch from Africa. Repeat. Missile launch. Is it civilian or military?"

"Negative Kazuma Command." As the Captain of the ANS Kaito, a Missile Destroyer, watched the dot disappear from radar. "..Missile lost from radar. Repeat. Lost from radar."

---

The missile minutes later was identified as a modified B86 Strategic Nuclear Device. The missile was able to pass through the two layer defense missile system of the Atarashi Navy and Air Force due to the maintenance for installing the Pacific Hub. A massive communication system. As the missile past through the air defense system and reached within the inner perimeter, live footage from the satellites above were late to warn about the missile attack that may hit some of Atarashi's major cities. The Atarashi Navy responded minutes late with the deployment of eight destroyers, and the Air Force launching 12 XFA-47 Super Fenrirs from two separate Airbases.

Despite the haste response, the missile finally hits Okinawa City and it's military installation. Instead of a nuclear blast, it was a massive, anthrax detonation across the city and the nearby military base, Okinawa Air and Naval Base, the largest AAF base in the Western Region. Though the detonation did not affect the outskirts of the city, and that infrastructure damage was less than expected, casualties were already predicted into millions. Most of the crew of the 28 ships on station including the Carrier Zuikaku were killed. An estimate about 350,000 - 550,000 civilian and military deaths were reported. The attack becomes the signal of The Patriots resurrection on major African Countries. As it had started to bolster operations in Algarea, and being aware of Cursed Children within the country.

---

The attack on Atarashi soil was the worst since the Haneda Massacre of 2003. The massacre also becomes responsible of the formation of Third Echelon, a Multinational Special Operations Forces. This international tragedy, being called as the 2016 Okinawa Chemical Attack forced Atarashi to enact Fifth Freedom. Almost all AAF reserves have been deployed, and a massive operations command was formed.

With Fifth Freedom, the Prime Minister, and other head of states has formed ZOCOM ( Zone Operations Command ). An independent military organization funded by eight major powers not only to fight terrorism, but to deal with international threats such as a nation attacking another.

[Sentaki and Kuzamu]

Operation: Eastern Storm

"It has been an unfortunate time for humanity. At 15:00 Hours, a chemical missile attack struck the city of Okinawa, Atarashi. This tragedy has been set off by what the world knows off as third party conglomerates hellbent for world hegemony. We have discovered that the attack has originated from Africa. Specifically from the Fascist State of Baraccas. As of this moment, the Osean Federation is on DEFCON 3. We will make this clear. We are now at war with the Fascist Federation of Baraccas."

The defense treaty between the Osean Federation and the Federal Republic of Atarashi has made it clear that Osea will be launching an invasion force to the African Federation. Two Naval Fleets are set in, with over 70,000 Active Troops from all the branches of the military first set in for the attack. The objective is clear: The occupation of Baraccas' Capital would be the green light for all military operations to end should the Allied Forces liberate it from fascist control. President Vincent Harling has made it clear that this conflict may end a bit longer, as he is aware of a third party organization involved. Leasing the nation advanced technology.

- Dusty -
"What do you think of the ride huh?"

- Jake Konata -
"Feels like I've been strapped to a rocket ship going straight for Lunaris."

- Dusty -
- Chuckles - "Just relax mate. You're almost there. The MA-550 Cheetah Drone is such an exclusive, single transport UAV from Atarashi! The Asians know how to make some sweet hardware!"

- Jake Konata -
"Feels like they made more hardware to PMC fanatics."

When the war against Baraccas imminent, the Aurelian Air Force has launched the MA-550 Cheetah Drone. Carrying a single operative that has been augmented exclusively for extreme combat in special operations. Now part of ZOCOM, the Aurelian Commander of this Operation, only goes by the name "Dusty", watches the entire operation as the MA-550 Cheetah Drone makes it's final approach to the south of the city. Jake Konata, outfitted with a heavily modified ARS, and weapons only a high frequency blade and a SA-16 Assault Rifle.

- Loli -
"Listen Konata, the Baraccas are getting some high end technology for their Special Forces division. Their regulars are yet to be modernized, but there's alot of movement going on lately from Barracas port. I think you have to start with a specific district that needs some caretaker."

- Jake Konata -
"Does that involve making a crocodile bow down before a blonde japanese girl?"

- Dusty -
"Unless interspecies mating is a thing today, I don't think there is such. Get ready to disembark, the drone will immediately turn right away once you're on point."

- Jake Konata -
"On it."

---

As the drone makes a second overpass above the city, Jake immediately disembarks from the drone and drops down straight to an office building's rooftop safely. With the BLADE's electronic system giving the user no impact damage from the hundreds of feet of disembark. The MA-550 Drone would then leave from the area, and flying straight away from hostile territory. As Jake starts to walk his way down to ground floor, with the office building apparently abandoned.

- Jake Konata -
"Dusty, I'm on the ground. Landed safe on where I suppose to be. What exactly are we going to get here?"

- Dusty -
"ZOCOM intelligence, specifically from Atarashi's Foreign Intelligence Agency spotted a massive transport of weapons out of the city. They've been shipping out dozens of containers ever since, and airlifts were exclusively restricted for military aircraft. It's going to take a while before the Osean and Atarashian armies come here, but since both nations are part of ZOCOM. I don't think they will send an army soon. "

- Jake Konata -
"Don't seem to expect shock and awe anytime soon. This Augmented Reaction Suit I'm wearing. It's not normal is it?"

- Dusty -
"Well since you've been augmented to handle the stress feedback from that particular ARS suit no. Aside from that, your ARS is a next-gen prototype being developed by Aurelian scientists in Forefront Enterprises. Not alot of companies can make such productions like this. Not to mention that our operation is exclusively funded by ZOCOM."

- Jake Konata -
"Being part of ZOCOM and acting independently seems great, but do we have restrictions?"

- Dusty -
"Not that I know off. But I only know one general rule of ZOCOM. Unless it is necessary, civilian targets are off limits."

- Jake Konata -
"Copy that."

As Jake turns off his CODEC and starts running straight out of the office building, and leaping to another.

[Atarashi]

The attack on Okinawa is directly blamed towards to the rogue state of Barracas, which is the source of the launch of a modified B86 Strategic Nuclear Device, with the payload being changed to a chemical bomb. Specifically Anthrax. A massive cleanup done by the AAF is currently underway, with Japan's own JSDF assisting in the efforts to remove Anthrax at any cost. Estimate of economic and military damages would be billions, but as reserves are pulled out and brought in to active service, the dead crews of the 28 warships were being quickly replaced.

ZOCOM Operations has began on Africa. Though a few ZOCOM Battalions remained in concern due to the cursed children in Algarea, Barracas has become a target of importance due to its attacks. Before a massive AAF military invasion begins with Osea, priority is to weaken and sabotage enemy operations and their ability to earn weaponry beyond their advancements. ZOCOM Task Force Two sent in Advanced Recon Teams, before the 5th Strike Force could be sent from the Kodiaks.

The conflict continues as UFNA nations gets involved in the crisis through C&C Shockwave.

"Homecoming" - Pt. 1
"The Pyramid" Ministry of Defense building (St. Atlanta Is. Territory)
_{7/20/1968
Middle of Typhoon Bani}

---

As the rain and wind beat down hard on the building, the highest ranking generals of Turmenista all gathered in the war room, studying the map of Turmenista. Green troops designating their forces were placed on the islands of Vanguard, St. Atlanta, and Pear Island, while ships were surrounded around the neutral Haven Island, the economic hub. Red troops and ships designating that of militaristic Xu island were scattered through the archipelago, designating the busy fighting and guerilla warfare currently going on in it. Styx island, the strategic launch site, remained relatively quiet, however. Strangely nothing seemed to be going on at the desert island, leading the forces of Xu and St. Atlanta assuming that it chose a neutral stance like Haven island.

"Nothing like a good Turmenistanian welcome." A general known as Viper smoked his usual cigar, studying his own troop movements."

"What do you mean, General?" Asked a younger officer, sitting nearby.

"The Germans already arrived with Humanitarian aid." He explained. "They've set up at FOB Grffon located at Pearl Island 1km off the coast from St. Atlanta. The island's inhabited by local villagers, and Typhoon Bani's nothing compared to what happened in '44. Besides, storm looks to be downgrading now."

"Heh.. This is probably like Vietnam to them." The officer said. "What's our next move?"

"Dunno, kid." General Viper said. "Xu's been pretty quiet lately. Don't know what Lania is planning next, though. Probably sucking off some Soviet as usual begging them for money.

"Or Chinese. Or Russian. Then again China's a wasteland and the USSR doesn't exist anymore. Probably the Russians are planning on supporting her." The soldier looked at his own soldiers on Kole island. "Which brings me to my next point- who will our allies be, sir?"

"I'm thinking the Americans, and the Germans. We're leaning to the west, while Xu's looking for militaristic socialism. That's why they've been inviting Russians and such."

"The last thing we need is the Russians to come in." Viper said. "Speaking of which, who will be our allies at home? Politically, I'm thinking my army can support me. They love me, hm?"

"Sir... I don't believe that's morally right." The officer said.

"Why not?" Viper asked. "I mean, they're soldiers. I'm a materialistic fellow. These men are putting their lives forth for our safety, but we're all soldiers now. Common machines for the war. I think it's time for me to evolve."

"That goes against everything we established in TAFOR's ideology." A voice came from upstairs. Old Rodriguez himself hobbled down the steps with his cane, barely visible with his dark skin. "I thought we established that the army is a separate entity from politics? That we are not to be using our soldiers as pawn for political gain? That we treat them like human beings as they're protecting our wellbeing?"
He hobbled over to the table, shaking his head. "General, if you can't accept this, I don't see a reason as to why you're even leading an army of this nation."

"What's.. Come up, sir?" Asked Viper.

"Important business." Old Rodriguez said, slapping a table onto the Table, scattering pictures of what appeared to be Xu troops in T-62s engaging Styx troops in T-72s, and winning. "We have reason to believe that Styx Island, and its silos, are under control of Xu island."

The entire war room went silent as Viper slowly moved a group of green ships over to Styx island's coast. "Cruise missile the silos. Take them out before they take us ou-"

"I'm afraid that's not going to work, General." Old Rodriguez bumped in. "A Styx island plane fled the island before the laugh codes could be seized, and was bound towards St. Atlanta international when it was shot down, over Pear Island. Now, the launch codes are secured for now in a Xu Island-controlled nuclear reactor on Pear Island. Before you go ahead and nuke it, know that a Four-man elite team is enroute to the the reactor now and ready to take back the codes."

"..What four man team are you talking about, sir?" Viper asked.

"Thomas's team. The Tiger's four man team." He said the alias of Thomas, to better get everyone understood with his name.

"Shit. Sir, you know that's a suicide mission, right?"

"All this team has been sent on is suicide missions. Suicide missions, by you, general. These men are willing to put their lives on the line for the safety of the islands, and move towards the sounds of chaos. They're willing to die for this, and, as of right now, they are the best."

Old Rodriguez turned around, listening to the rain hitting the building as he blankly stared off to nowhere. "I have faith that Thomas will complete his mission. I'm just unsure if be can complete it.. Alive.."

Happenings of 1968 into 1969
United States of America
_{Late Winter, January, Year 1969}

---

Under the America First rule, America has transformed into a meritocracy. The society that Americans shall be judged upon their appearance no longer exists, and people must adapt accordingly to it. Americans, regardless of ethnicity, will always be judged upon the merits they produce. Although this is considered bad for traditional values, the country insists that for a united and strong America, all its citizens must adapt and become resilient to change. In Star Trek, the airing of episode 12, featuring the first-ever interracial kiss between a Caucasian male and an African American woman proves that change is no doubt coming. A new age is dawning upon the United States.

As of early 1969, the unemployment rate has dropped to 25%, as opposed to the latter forty. The depression's symptoms still lay, but were slowly fading. Nevertheless, it didn't change the turbulence in the year 1968. There was a major issue over women's rights. Discrimination and segregation had been mediated by the government, and with the people's trust, had been put into effect despite a few minor groups continuing to harbor such sentiment. Because the America First is in power, a crackdown had been declared upon the KKK, and many of its members executed by firing squad. The status of the Confederate flag remain, as it is a prized symbol of American resilience, not a symbol of racism. The government did not only crack down on white supremacist groups, it cracked down on another large black Marxist supremacist group, named the Black Panthers. After a siege lasting ten days, US Army and American Militia break through the compound, putting many of its members out of their misery. In a multi-ethnic interview, all participants interviewed replied something equal or similar to: "The government really just wants to save the country. The conflicts have got to go, they are dividing us in an unforgiving time".

The government had taken a stance on women's rights following the 1968 Miss American Protest, it has shown to value the dignified spirit of women. They are pushing for rational rights in the country they love, otherwise, they wouldn't do so. To start off, the government had encouraged a stance on equal wage, and equal opportunities in education. The changes had already begun, with Yale University announcing the admission of women.

Raining Like Hell}

"A Turmenistanian welcome, huh?" Sepp questioned, the rain beating down on the roof of the barracks.

"Well, count me surprised. Place feels just like 'Nam." One of Sepp's new squadmates, Roger Penzig, chuckled from one of the nearby bunk beds.

"If this is anything like that place, when are we gonna start helpin' the Turmies blow up the bad guys? Maybe kill a few of those Xu folk ourselves, eh?" Another squadmate, Thorben Behrend, mimicked the sound of gunshots.

"Right now, actually." The squad leader, Henning Lang, had entered the room with little notice prior to him speaking.

"Shit, sir. In this weather?" Thorben asked, looking to his superior.

"Absolutely." Henning answered.

"Place has gone to shit, man. Just look at all that water. This damn typhoon..." Roger muttered under his breath, staring at idle Xuan soldiers which treaded in floodwater at the edge of town through his Vampir-B night vision scope.

"Don't want to step in that filthy water any longer than you do. We still must wait for the signal, however." Henning answered, standing beside Roger in the small bushes outside of the town. A flare suddenly jolted into the air from across town, signalling the time for attack had come. "Well, there it is."

Other members of the squad emerged from the bush, quickly engaging the small Xuan checkpoint at the entrypoint to the town. It did not take long for the ill-equipped, unprepared Xuans to fall, and it seemed the other squads were entering the town judging by the sound of additional gunfire around town. The emergence of another German squad meant they were ready for the push into the town square. Hurrying in, they saw the statue of Lania Xu, the leader of the Republic, standing atop a horse, the granite-marble statue adorned atop a pedestal.

"Take that shit down." Henning ordered, to which Thorben nodded.

"Absolutely, sir." Thorben complied, tossing two satchels onto the pedestal. "Duck n' cover!" He shouted out, to which others in the plaza complied. In seconds, the statue had been disfigured and its fragments had been showered across the area.

The rain briefly diminished, allowing the first rays of sunlight began to pierce through the nearby hills, revealing the water, German LSTs approaching the shoreline under the crack of dawn.

"Looks like the cavalry has arrived." Sepp said, looking away at the shoreline.

Economic Recovery On the Way
United States of America
_{Late Winter, February, Year 1969}

---

The United States unemployment rate is down to 20%. Although the United States still harbor deficits in capital, it will only be a matter of time before America steps out of its cell. A major contributor to the employment ratio of America, Union Oil, had reported a blow out spilling 100,000 estimated barrels of crude oil into a channel in California. The governor of California had been inspired to organize a statewide Earth day, which had caught the Federal government's intervention. The Federal government decides to support this incentive, and start an environmental program to raise employment, as well as benefit society. This was originally apart of FDR's New Deal and a way to mediate employment issues temporarily until the economy returned to normal. Apart of the environmental and employment incentive, the government inspire many young men and women to become Junior Commandos, collecting and recycling used items that are otherwise practical to the industries of the country that would support the military. Other public sector employment jobs include tree planting and maintaining national parks. Economic recovery is on the way, and everything is expected to return to normal by 1970 thanks to the right tax cuts and spirit of the American people.

The Patriotic Crackdown
United States of America
_{Late Winter, February, Year 1969}

---

In the year 1969, after a series of bombings by the Weather Underground Organization, authorities had decided to take action. In a public broadcast through television to the American people to find the patriotic incentive in their hearts to defend their homes against the terrorists known as the Weathermen, the President of the United States appears on camera holding an All American Rifle, encouraging the second amendment and gun owners to put the terrorists out of their misery. In the largest crackdown in history by US National Guard, Police, and the good old spirit of America, its loyal citizens, the Weatherman Organization and other affiliated militant groups a whole, were confronted. The crackdown was fierce, but the militants could not hide from the eyes and ears of Columbia, not its citizens. Its citizens are tired enough because of the level of poverty, it didn't need more trouble from left-winged militants. After a series of crackdowns nationwide, perhaps mostly on the East Coast, the militant groups were reduced to portions of its strength. They have become the hunted, while America's good people become the hunters. Hunters against radical and unneeded terrorism.

"Whoever's in that building, they've fortified it to an insane extent." Sepp struggled to maintain himself in cover as machinegun fire sweeped the surrounding streets, tearing through windows and walls alike.

"Look out!" A soldier cried out. Sepp looked up, seeing an Me-262 swoop down for a dive. Ducking once again, he heard a loud explosion. The building where the Xuan cell had been reported now lay in burning fragments, to which the Germans cheered and hurried over. The sight of a wounded man crawling from the rubble startled Sepp, as did the response of the Turmenistanian soldiers, who hurried over to drag him out, yelling expletives at him as they did.

"Who's that?" Sepp asked.

"Whoever he is, they want him bad." Thorben chuckled wryly at the sight of the Turmenistanians apprehending the man, yelling at him in English.

New Times Ahead
Germany
_10/21/1969

---

The aging Reichkanzler Erwin Rommel, who had chosen not to run for another term, was replaced by Albert Speer, a renowned architect who had left the Nazi Party and joined the CDU in 1947 who was best known for his work in designing the New Reich Chancellery and the upcoming Volkshalle. His promises to improve infrastructure in Ukraine and renovate Sankt Petersburg, alongside his proposed New Economic Plan, which outlined a strategy for escaping the last vestiges of economic trouble in Western Europe, have caught the attention of many. His foreign policy, however, was a stark contrast to Rommel's pacifism and avoidance of another large war, as Speer stated:

"I believe Germany must not weaken its foreign policy. We, alongside fellow members of NATO, must guarantee a continued and everlasting peace globally, and measures to prevent tyrannical and otherwise dangerous governments to threaten world peace. I am willing to have diplomatic talks over these matters, but if all else fails, we must not forget the power and versatility of the Wehrmacht."

The Germans had achieved the first manned moon landing, and planted the flag of Germany on the moon. Celebrations worldwide, especially in Germany, ensued as humanity rejoiced its next step into the final frontier. Albert Speer's term as Reichkanzler has already been met with record approval ratings, rising from an initially recorded 60% to a 95% rating of approval. Following this, Germany also extended its diplomatic arm to the United States, offering a joint research committee and proposals for an international science facility orbiting the Earth.

Federalizing the Federal Reserve
United States of America
_{January, Year 1970}

---

Under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, all money that is non-coined is lent and privately owned by the Federal Reserve at interest. Virtually all U.S. in market circulation carries some form of interest in capital that the users of such currency, and the government, owe to private corporations. The America First Party is tough, as it puts patriotism and the country first. Therefore, the Federal Reserve will be federalized and all its assets belonging to the U.S. Government to an extent that it could regulate the usage of US currency without the interest headed to private coffers. Under a new Federalization Act, the Federal Reserve Bank will no longer be a private system, but a federal instrumentality. In a public speech by the head of state, "Privatization of the Federal Banking system is unacceptable, and a slavery upon the American people", said the President. An assassin had made an attempt on the President's life afterward, but sadly for the assassin, it did not turn out so well. Especially not so well when the American people were armed, as some quickly drew their firearms and gripped the assassin in the leg as he attempted to fire from a median height. The assassin's body, found by police, had committed suicide through the swallowing of a cyanide pill. Not soon after, the folks who ran the Federal Reserve inside and out were all rounded up and executed by American Militia for subversion, unpatriotic acts, and conspiracy. Their wealth and assets had been seized, deposited in the treasury to finance the country. A little later, the President of the United States had answered a telegram from Germany to approve the establishment of an international space facility.

United States Rearmament
United States of America
_{February, Year 1970}

---

The current military state of America is a total embarrassment to the country. The United States is the rightful administrator of the Americas, not any other foreign power. A month after the America First had secured the private financial institution of the United States, the President promises to return to America its lost national pride. The President claims that the Great Depression was an embarrassment and a jail cell for all Americans. Rearming the good old boys of America became a topmost priority, to restore the country to where it should be, and better. With tremendous support from the people, the government spearheads one of the largest and greatest expansions of industrial production and civil improvement the United States had ever witnessed. Many men enlist in the armed forces on just a volunteer policy, a draft had not even been set in place. Regardless of policy, the United States had begun rearming and expanding its military at an astonishing speed. In two months, the United States had equipped a total of fifty a little less or more infantry divisions, numbering around five hundred thousand and a half troops.

Communism Ends Here
Republic of Cuba
_{March, Year 1970}

---

The continent of America an entirety had never been safe ever since the communists took power in Cuba. The government had been overthrown by the communist usurpers through a force of arms, not even taking into account a proper referendum process. The communist ideal is a direct contradiction to the American way of life. It is a disease without remorse unto whoever it strikes. Such a scourge of an ideal may not live, it may not live for the safety of the Americas a whole. The President of the United States had in a public announcement, told Americans to don their swords and shields, so that communism may never infect America. In a two day lightning fast military operation lasting for a contingency period of five more days, the United States Military had overthrown the socialist government, and a military occupation of Cuba had begun. The Cuban socialist dictatorship under Fidel Castro had stood no chance. It is unknown where Fidel Castro had fled, but his supporters had been defeated. They were given the options to surrender, or face consequences. Fearing the worst, they chose the first option.

Anne coughed into his hand before approaching the podium. With him, he carried a binder of notes laced with a yellow lion. "More than ever have we been in a situation that called for action now." Vondeling began staring down to the large open room. "Therefore I propose to condemn the actions of the United States of America on the unspecified invasion of Cuba." The room gasped in awe. "There forces have already breakthrough Cuba and could certainly continue to cause devastating damage. There point could be that they are trying to remove a dictator and replace it with a republic, but how stable will that be?" Vondeling adjusted himself. "Here, here." Parliament agreed with him somewhat. "Well, there communists!" A member of parliament abruptly called out.

This weather is fucking weird man}

Seemingly transforming from a Monsoon, to a Tropical Storm, to a full on light show in the sky, Jeremy didn't know what to think of this storm. All that was on his mind currently was defeating this hostile soldier in hand to hand combat, amid a rainstorm, and high wind speeds. Lightning crackling every couple of seconds in the background, Jeremy rushed forward in a battle cry, ignoring the Xu soldier whom had injected more drugs into his system. That was their specialty - apparently the forces under certain generals of the Republic of Xu were drugged with the nectar from a certain plant in Turmenista to severely lower their pain tolerance. Soldiers on these drugs were known to have unnatural, almost superhuman levels of pain tolerance, and some were even shown to be fighting even with bits of their body missing. The only downside to this was that it was very toxic, and misuse was almost instantly related to death. Despite this, Jeremy knew the only way he could beat him would be if he got his bayonet in him, preferably in his forehead.

Letting loose his cry, Jeremy was slapped by the soldier who appeared out of nowhere, who suddenly drew a long, sharp machete. Smacking him across the face with the butt of his rifle only sent him back, as the soldier coiled back, grabbed his gun, and yanked it from his arms. Jeremy and the soldier wrestled for the bladed weapon before someone drove their knee into someone's chest, causing them to drop it. They both fell into the rocky grass, rolling around as both sides struggled for control of the weapon. Jeremy, realizing that he was on the bottom, reached for the machete after he punched the Xu soldier square in the face, and rolled over to grab it from the grass. Taking the machete, he swung it downwards, chopping the Xu soldier's hand clean off in one quick swipe. The two stumbled up to their feet, with Jeremy raising his rifle to finally unload onto the Xu soldier's face.

The ground suddenly began to shake as fissures opened up in the rocky ground of Kole Island. The ground, tearing itself apart like a a gigantic puzzle, suddenly gave way about a kilometer away from them, exposing heavenly beams of blue-white light that suddenly pierced through the sky, seemingly into the center of the storm. The ground of Kole island absolutely gave way as gigantic slabs of rock fell into the suddenly expanding white void, that, while it expanded at a rather slow rate, consumed everything in its path, seemingly wiping it away from existence in the scary white void.

"Fuck that shit!" Jeremy dropped his gun and roundhouse kicked the Xu soldier down a pit created by the fissures, not even watching as he was vaporized from existence completely. Jeremy broke out into a full on sprint across the rocky fields of Koll, not stopping as he felt the energy from the void searing into the back of his head, and his neck.

"OH SHIT- FUUUU-"

The void suddenly experienced a drastic increase in expanding speed, completely consuming Jeremy. He felt the greatest feeling he'd felt in his entire life, a feeling combining the sensation of burning and drowning, as he was ultimately consumed and vaporized.

-----------

From afar, it looked as if a miniature sun had exploded in the center of Kole Island and had begun to expand, but from up close, the unknown void was shiny, like that on a pinball made of marble. With the texture of water, the shining, gigantic blue-white orb itself didn't seem menacing, but from afar, the island of Kole seemed to have split from the object, which was embedded deep into it. The storm itself ceased to vanish altogether, with sunlight beaming over the islands finally after days of ruthless rain. Seemingly, from up close, there seemed to be an object visible in this void, as if it contained an object, or mirrored it.

Giant tidal waves from the new void dividing the two now separate islands of Kole crashed into the nearby outerlining smaller islands Kole contained, and continued out, attempting to reach the main Archipelago, and the other Islands. Due to Kole's mostly southern location, the islands were graced to be saved by the waves, but still felt the devastating shake, considering Turmenista's rather geologically stable location. While forces were still fighting in various locations, for the most part, all of the focus was on this white void, that had suddenly appeared, out of nowhere, and without question.

This, ladies and gentlemen, was a RIFT.

"So what exactly is this thing?" Sepp questioned, gripping his StG-44 as the Bo 17 declined for a landing.

"We thought some sort of nuclear test either by Xu or St. Atlanta occurred. That wasn't the case. Besides, nuclear explosions don't cause, er, that." Henning answered, pointing to the odd spherical, marble-like object which stood at the center of the island.

"It safe, though?" Thorben looked at the strange object and grimaced slightly.

"First thing we had here were men waving geiger counters everywhere. It's clean." Henning said, eyeing the sphere which now stood not too far away at the atoll's center. With the Bo 17 coming down on the runway, the squad hurried off. The surrounding area had been transformed into a small yet adequate base camp whose purpose was twofold - accomodate Wehrmacht soldiers and a scientific team which was to inspect the Anomaly in the coming days.

Atarashi Armed Forces Eastern Pacific Facility

Something stupid happened again, wait no. "Sciency".

Looking at the Pacific Ocean, the AAF Eastern Pacific Facility is the largest military base overseas, housing nearly a strength of 280,000 troops alone, with ships of over 125 from two separate fleets and five squadrons. It was the headquarters of the AAF forces since the end of the First Circum-Pacific War. Though the base was plagued with international issues about the nations close to the base, especially that Atarashi relations with the Verusean countries are at an all time low, it was a strategic importance to the UFNA. The entire world felt a moment of shock in their lives when a global earthquake, though not strong was triggered close to the base. Although a tsunami alert was increased up to four and most personnel in the lower levels of the base were evacuated, the Atarashian 7th Fleet is sent to depart to the source.

The 70 Ship Fleet of the Atarashi Navy carried an arm of the Pacific Forces of the Atarashi Armed Forces as a whole. Alongside with it is the AAF "Sundowner", the seventh Kodiak in line as part of ZOCOM Task Force Three. A total of 50,000 troops were all on board the fleet, and an aircraft that can take on a small dictatorship nation. The Fleet eventually saw a rift that was opened, and the real-time STRAT-COMMAND Table of each aircraft carrier do not see the islands that were supposed to be present there.

The only other rift that was opened was between the UFNA and the SSCA but that's it. The Seventh Fleet's Commander, Admiral Iso Tohokatsu called in his tacticians to whatever steps is necessary to investigate beyond the rift. The rift may have been generated from the SSCA to further decrease the UFNA's chance of military mobilization, but Tohokatsu thought otherwise. Instead of sending a recon flight in, he ordered the entire Fleet to cross beyond the rift, with all weapons and anti-missile and air systems active from all ships should things go out of control when they encounter possible SSCA hostile.

When the Seventh Fleet crossed through the rift, instead of having to sync in with the system's date, time and weather patterns, guidance systems malfunctioned when all warships scanned the entire region automatically and came it up without any recognition. Although some intelligence warships such as the ANS Korben was able to construct a new virtual map of the world they went through being almost similar as to the SSCA's earth and geographic patterns, there were still several unknowns. The Korben launched several reconnaissance drones of fast MA-550 Drones across the area, and taking shots of the region real time. The risks of those drones getting shot down is left undetermined, and intelligence of this world's civilization technology is still unknown.

As the Admiral realizes that when the guidance systems and the STRAT-COMMAND war table went on after a short period of malfunction, they realized that they have stumbled upon another world, not the SSCA. The Seventh Fleet were forced to halt, and wait for any communications from any foreign elements out there. While the fleet's four aircraft carriers launched Combat Air Patrol fighter crafts. The ZOCOM Kodiak had it's cannons ready and armed, with drop pods carrying several ARS Platoons ready for a quick assault on the small, local islands.

The newly-arrived foreign fleet had been signaled to with flares from across the island, followed by the raising of a German flag upon a radio mast at the research camp. The flag, along with the radio mast, could be sighted from the newly-arrived fleet's various ships. The fleet received a brief communique in German and English, which stated the following.

"Your fleet's ships do not match any known records. We require that those onboard identify their origin immediately and confirm their means of entry."

The entire fleet is on high alert, and CAP patrols returned and armed with more conventional weaponry. The F-15Js were then replaced with more combat ready FC-37 S/VTOLs. The alarm was automatically triggered across the fleet once all the STRAT-COMMAND Systems sync was done to scan the entire world in a fraction of minutes. Though it was only able to scan contacts ahead of them. The Flagship, the ANS Akagi, and it's Admiral, Iso Tohokatsu activated his datapad and synced in with the ship's communications. Squadrons of F-47 Firehawks makes its flyby on foreign lands, starting by it's flyover on the Kole Atoll. With the Kodiak can be seen from the distance alongside the many, warships down at sea.

"This is Admiral Iso Tohokatsu of the Seventh Fleet of the Atarashi Armed Forces. Whoever this is on our communication channels, please send proper authentications including GSL ( Geographic Strategic Location ) and NNBAF ( Nation's Name, Branch of Armed Forces ) and ABG ( Assigned Battle Group ) immediately over."

After giving the base's location, the German commander hesitated, startled and irritated by the sudden flybys of unidentified craft. Ordering the base to prepare for anything, he finally continued.

"This is Ludolf Hofmann of the German Reich, under the Wehrmacht's 1st Combat Technology Group, assigned to the Turmenistanian Archipelago. We demand that your aerial and naval incursions cease immediately and instead send a diplomatic envoy."

"We will do so, the Seventh Fleet will return home from safe waters. A diplomatic envoy will be sent shortly. Admiral Tohokatsu out."

The lead ship, the missile destroyer Shirane departed first back home. Followed by the rest of the Seventh Fleet, as the F-47s and the MA-550 Drones were called back to their motherships. The only vessel remaining within waters was a single destroyer Katsuko.

Word about the new world crossed by the Seventh Fleet reached all the executive departments of the country. Ministers of the executive departments, especially from the Defense were called in. Not long since new ministers were appointed and having Takeshi Hannoko running another three year term. The ministries were split once more, with half being split by pro-interventionists and pro-pacifists. The new world they crossed in was later discussed by scientists from Four Leaves Technologies and Kaneka Industries, where this second rift is similar to the SSCA's but had additions of new archipelagos and nations with it. Just then, Tohokatsu briefed the Ministers that they have first encountered a world that may have not been more advanced than the SSCA, yet poses some significant military presence in the region they have entered.

In the end, Tanabashi Hakurei, the youngest female Minister and head of Foreign Affairs decided to deal this first in a pro-pacifist solution. By sending a diplomat flight straight to the country with Harkui herself, a few attaches and several AAF Commanders with him. This approach has to be off the media's touch, and it's best to keep the media more focused on the situation in Barracas and the cover up of a nuclear explosion caused by the same country to bolster Anti-Nuclear gains for the pacifists. This is the first time for a 25 year old Executive to make her approach to establish diplomatic relations with the countries beyond the rift. As they start by Turmenista.

The world beyond the rift saw the exclusive appearance of diplomats from Atarashi arriving. As the Boeing 747-1 flight touches down alongside two F-47 Firehawk escorts into the city's international and largest airport in the world, foreign media from their country started to flock on the arrival of "aliens" beyond the rift. As Hakurei looked at the country's infrastructure just as she touched down with her attaches and military advisors. As it seems, their appearance looked like they were in some sort of formal, modern pro-war hierarchy, but she was disgusted by that thought. She was then escorted by Turmenistan and German officials that were present just as the Germans from the Kolo Atoll notified of the confirmed arrival. Hakurei and her attaches were escorted to the first limo, with the military commanders to the second limo for a separate meeting.

"Welcome to Turmenista, Miss..?"

"Tanabushi Hakurei," As she shook hands with her opposites inside the limo. "Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am looking forward to see our country's relations start peacefully with yours."

The AAF military officials shook hands with their German and Turmenistan counterparts. As a means to start a separate meeting to begin with matters about the two sides strategic, and military cooperation. The head of the group, General Buki Hanzo, a man balanced in ideologies that only cared to serve his country well and to see it live in the future. When the formalities ended in the lobby, all the seriousness of talks about the issues being highlighted has started with the introduction of the German officers about their concerns first pointed out starting now.

[Sentaki and Kuzamu]

Whoa, so that means from Atarashi's post. We haven't even opened a rift towards TESU yet. ok. Also, we're not promoting child massacre here. This is all based in fictional events.

ZOCOM operations has further increased ever since a massive invasion campaign on the rogue state of Barracas. But there were more ZOCOM activites ever in Algarea than the nation it has intended to go to. This is primarily due to the presence of the Cursed Children. Osea's ZOCOM Task Force Eight inside the OAF "Liberty" was sent in to search for the mass number of Cursed Children that was around 8,000. This intel sent was already fresh from below, and the threat of the significant numbers of Cursed Children was all too high. The orders were then to eliminate them rather than capturing them all home due to the Kodiak's size. The target was a massive convoy carrying the children straight out of the country's borders. This Task Force however, was merciless, especially it's Commander.

Eighth battalion was already on the ground through drop pods. As an army of rushing MIRDUs and M6A1 Sheppard MBTs rolled in straight to the area, followed by Prowler Light Vehicles holding ARS Troops. As soon as the Battalion was closed, the Kodiak started raining down it's shells of fury straight towards the convoy and the children walking with it. With the Eighth Battalion starting to fire their weapons and the arsenals on their hands to wipe them out one at a time. All the cleanup took a few minutes, and rallied up the remaining ones before being executed. With that done, the Eighth Battalion has been evacuated by the Kodiak, and departed off from the airspace to await for further operations abroad.

The operation was considered however, a failure. As when the AAF arrived to investigate what happened, all the children were apparently, do not contain modifications on their genetics.

Traxis Review: Great and Regional Powers of Strangereal ( GT Terrarium )

Whether men or women do really care about having the biggest sticks, it's been debated for a long time that which of the six countries were superpowers. Ending a debate by simply saying that all but one country is a great power that exerts the majority of its influence bigger than others but not comparable to a Superpower. For now, this will be the six nations we will be reviewing, one of the six powers that radically changed the world. Note that this is all honest, and if the other regions wants to be part of the monthly Traxis Review, don't hesitate to telegram.

The Two Old Superpowers

Osean Federation

For a long time, a democratic nation like the Osean Federation has a sprawling history of being an imperialistic nation. Often sporting out political deals to gain more land and still do today. There's no point arguing that the Osean Federation is the largest country in the world, with a geography and multi-climate factor being impossible to invade a nation wide like this. The country has 58 states, and it's no surprise that it's military is known to be a world police, with over hundreds of foreign bases across the world. Like Yuktobania, Osea has remained to be one of the oldest Superpowers in the world, and still is today. But that's still is debated right?

Osea has the most organized military force in the world, where in the First Circum-Pacific War proved that there are significant amount of mutinies occurring within it's military. Despite that, it's Air Force and Navy is one of the most balanced, and it's Army is also considered to be up to date. Though the country's military relies on Atarashi's defense exports, Osea's military remained efficient in any conventional war. It's Economy has sinced developed when it opened markets to Aurelia and Atarashi, and living standards there are actually great. One thing to say about Osea is that it remained to keep it's strength, while an emerging Atarashi is already overshadowing them.

Socialist Republics of Yuktobania

The long time rival of the Osean Federation. Yuktobania has been one of the oldest superpowers in the world alongside Osea, and it's military and technology is comparable to the Federation. Yuktobania has a long time tradition of a messed up but organized culture of socialism. Where the country's culture remained as an image of a developed country, and it's military being one of the largest in the world, holding the largest nuclear arsenal in the Verusean Continent and seconded to the Osean Federation.

The Cold War adversary of the Osean Federation is both a concept and relationship people used today in history and social media. One that makes video games and movies about the nations warring each other, especially in the 80s. Where a specific movie tells about an invasion of the Yuktobanian Armies across Osea, which is technically impossible to do so. Though the hostilities of the two countries remain, they share a cooperation effort that introduced space technology. While the Yuktobanians achieved having a man in outer space, the Oseans did the moon. The two eventually worked together to make a space station, which was used by four other major powers. You can't deny that the Yuktobanians were vital for world development, especially when it comes to SPACE. The First Circum-Pacific War, did little to impress the Yuktobanians, where as Osea was able to invade the country far close to Cinigrad, the capital of the country, but the Oseans failed to get the capital. Overall, they remained to be strong, but Atarashi is already overshadowing them.

New Superpower on the Club!

Federal Republic of Atarashi

When someone mentions Atarashi, people will mention anime. And the internet will give negative feedbacks to those who love anime by calling them weaboos. In a more professional view, people will recognize the country for it's invention of smartphones, supercomputers, floating warships, blah blah...

How can a nation that is made up of a bunch of islands is part of this list? There's no denying that the Federal Republic of Atarashi has become a game changer in world politics today. The nation has since emerged from it's isolationist policy into a more global type of foreign policy, where as Atarashi has started to slowly consume global markets, technology and trade through it's rapid technological enhancements. The 379.8 tech mark advance is the proof why Atarashi has become an important nation in this world, or is it? You can tell that Atarashi has the technology to get things crazy, they made a virtual reality arena and a VR game that is ACTUALLY virtual reality, called Fantasy Saga Online. Which is only available to four countries. A neo-futuristic concept exists in the country, and the proof there is New Tokyo within the Greater Tokyo Metropolis, the largest city in the world. With a staggering population of 159 million.

Despite having the most technologically advanced military and economy in the world, it has yet to learn from it's older neighbors. While Atarashi's modern accomplishments did change how people see the world today, there's no denying that it's political structure is indeed under siege by people rallying up for interventionism and those who are opposite of it. The majority of it's government is ran by ridiculous amount of pacifists that wishes to make the country remain a global power, but without it's new military policies. The recent leadership of Takeshi Hannoko spurred the country around with it's foreign policies more on global development and interventionism. One thing to note that Atarashi secretly has the highest record of corruption despite having one of the highest records in the Human Development Index and Global Government Rankings. The country's Free Economic Policy creates a group of coglomerates that while it benefits the country a lot more, does actually more harm than good. Starting with the Cursed Children. While Atarashi indeed is the most developed country in the world, is it indeed the most powerful country in the world?

Emerging Superpowers

Socialist/Communist Republic of Hiung Zhae

The Hiung Zhae has since existed as a global power in the world. Starting by the nation's inventions of the most important technologies to further advance human development. The cultural split, and the losses it endured from two global and one war with Atarashi has put a divided attention within the country's government. Losses do not destroy a country's reputation, and what it destroys it is how the government reacts and take action to it. The result is a full communist enactment of the country. Which resulted a neighboring Greater Taiwan to join the Federal Republic of Atarashi in the seventies. Why is a communist country on this list?

Hiung Zhae's relations with most of the democratic nations are all time low, but recent leaderships especially Taong Sae's moderate socialist policies made the country developed at a rapid pace. Brutal punishments and laws were taken away, and everything that was against his views were all but forgotten. The Zhani economy, technological and human development rapidly increased with the help of a neighboring Atarashi. It's military is the largest in terms of manpower, with conscription removed due to the excessive numbers of soldiers. Though there are something I have to address about this country's flaws. One is the respect for intellectual property, and the second is the currently unstable politburo. Unlike Atarashi's problems, the Zhani Government is the most corrupt. Despite that, the city of Peking is a Global Hub for trade and economic development. Question remained is, can the country become a superpower? Ask it's neighboring nation, Atarashi. But you can't deny, that the red dragon is coming next door.

Federal Republic of Aurelia

Aurelia had a long history of conflicts ever since the country's formation in just a small tiny farm town. Yes, a farm town. One which everyone is shocked to know about that the capital city of the country at first was just a small farming town. In the end, Griswall becomes a Global Hub and economc center for South Osea. Few reasons why Aurelia is on this list is that it's economy has become more open now, and that it's government has started to become more transparent ever since it's ageless Priestess took over.

The country's military is one of the most advanced, and was able to develop it's own weaponry. It's also the founder, alongside Atarashi, the Global Defense Munitions Project. By means to create a common military arsenal that is effective in all types of wars. While the country's military is only half developed, there's no denying that the rest of the country's infrastructure, let alone the details of it's population and it's living standards are all high. The country has been the most peaceful since, and remained it's pacifist diplomacy approach to any nations even the most hostile ones. Since then, the country has focused itself on manufacturing, services and scientific research. Is Aurelia a superpower? It is yet to become one.

Republic of Emmeria

Don't scream that the origin of Traxis company is here on the list, but Emmeria has been a long time ally and friend in diplomatic and pacifist global politics with Aurelia. Like Aurelia and Atarashi, it has a monarch that remained since it's founding, and has followed an European style of management since. Emmeria's military is shown through it's Navy and Air Force, it's military might was shown during the Emmerian-Estovakian War. Which the Emmerians declared victory over it's aggressive, eastern neighbor in the continent. Gracemeria City has since become a global hub in the Anean Continent.

While it's military has become one of the most organized and developed, with human living standards there being great, there are some dark sides that Emmeria still has. One is that it's religious police is absolutely abusive, and that it takes religion way too seriously, and second that half of the country's amendments do not fit in today's standards. While the country now focuses on scientific, economic and service development, Emmeria still faces the challenges of how much it takes to become a Superpower in just one step.

---

Conclusion

Yeah, Atarashi has all the economy, technology, military and stuff. But that doesn't mean the country is perfect. And when it comes to warfare, that's all needs to be seen. Why is it fun to compare six powers to each other? Because it is. Don't ask why, but it is fun. Seriously, even if you all have the technology, how many men will that take? Zhanis and Yukkies can do that. In the end, who cares? No Superpowers last forever.

[Aventhia]

SSCA Defense Assessment

With the Aventhian Military on pursuit for a full, modernization of it's military, it sees that the SSCA will be fully developed to make inter-rift relations in proper and formal ways to the neighboring UFNA. A defense review says that there's the need of more naval vessels and aircraft than ever, with an estimate of total 600 ships needed for Aventhia in order to secure the Commonwealth's territories from any harm, and around 1,800 fighter jets are to be produced by the end of the year. The task is almost impossible, but the wide range of political and economic reforms made by the Prime Minister will surely help the Ministry of Defense gain the necessary numbers to further empower the Aventhian Defense Force.
