Prophetstown, Native America

Tecumseh walked through Prophetstown, now the center of trade in the middle of America, and one of the first ever permanent settlements that they established. He was talking to the chief of the Creeks, whom, after a long arduous journey had led his people out of the United States of America and into the Confederation of Native American Tribes. They were talking about were they would stay, their lands etc.

But threats against Native America still loomed, its army was relatively modernized, but it lacked any canons, which could be a huge disadvantage on the battlefield. Tecumseh's probing of European traders in the are had come to naught, they didn't want a strong USA, but they definently didn't want a strong Native America ready to take back its lands.

That was okay though, Tecumseh was sure that the canons wouldn't be the end of his Confederacy, he had led it so far, and it hadn't fallen yet. That may change though, his European trading partners had found others and were leaving him, and the United States of America was taking increasingly more interest in expanding West.

Thats what his scouts said anyway.

As if to make things worse, the Native American fleet didn't exist.

It would be a tough struggle to liberate the peoples of America.

Emperor's Palace
Paris
Capital of the French Empire
The French Empire

Benjamin Franklin, American Ambassador to France, was standing outside the large doors to the chambers of Emperor Napoleon. Franklin had been trying for years to get a audience with the Emperor in order to discuss a alliance between France and America, and finally now he had been granted the privilege. The doormen stood motionless, the Emperor was being prepared to meet him. A single knock echoed from inside, and the doormen opened the door.

Inside was the elegant palace of the Emperor, and the man himself sat at a desk waiting.

Franklin bowed deeply, and spoke.

Benjamin Franklin: Your Imperial Majesty, i deeply thank you for granting me a audience with you. I wish to discuss to you on behalf of the United State Government, a possible alliance of our two nations against our shared adversary, The United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Portsmouth, Portsmouth, England

The First Rate HMS Victory was truly a sight to behold. 104 guns and a crew of 875 souls, it was more powerful than most armies. Currently, HMS Victory was, like the other First and Second Rates, stationed in the Home Islands, as a defense against the French Republic. However, there was still that embarrassing little deal with the American Colonies and, word had it, that the Governor of Canada was going to be negotiating with the Indian tribes to eliminate that embarrassment. But for that more ships were needed and the Royal Navy wasn't going to fail here. No, His Majesty's Navy had ordered a large fleet to be constructed. Five First Rates, nine Second Rates, seventy one Third Rates, eight Fourth Rates, seventy eight Fifth Rates, twenty two Sixth Rates of 28 guns, ten Sixth Rates of 24 guns, and seventy six more Sloops. Oh Huzzah. The Royal Navy would be Master of the Seas for the next three hundred years, by thunder. And the First Sea Lord had seen fit to give command of this new fleet to an up and coming officer. Admiral Walter Prescott was a commoner who had made his fortune in the merchant service, trading in Canada and Asia and investing in North American furs. Through those funds, he had managed to purchase his commission and had proved himself quite the able officer, securing numerous victories against pirates and privateers near British territories. He had also been the one to suggest a larger fleet to deal with the Americans. "Milord, if we are to once again challenge the American traitors, oughtn't we ensure we do so from a position of even greater strength than we currently possess? Oughtn't we increase the size of our fleet so as to ensure that the rest of the Empire is not left wanting while we stamp out the rabble?" His plea had fallen on interested ears and he was now charged with overseeing the construction of this new armada. Yes, the Royal Navy would be Master of the Seas for 300 years at least. And the Empire would endure by the strength of her hulls.

Prophetstown, Confederacy of the Tribe of America

Governor Lord Walter Cartwright stepped out of his carriage, flanked by a pair of bodyguards. His mission was simple: seek the assistance of the Indian Chief Tecumseh against the American rebels and, in return, offer him the return of Indian lands currently held by the Americans. Tecumseh was easy to find. Not many other natives dressed so English. "Excuse me, dear sir," he said, "Might I have a word with you?"

Tecumseh looked up from talking with the Creek chief, told him to go to Michigan and looked toward the British man now in front of him. The English were people that Tecumseh respected, them and the Dutch were the few who treated Native Americans relatively well. Tecumseh dressed European to make himself seem more open to them.

"Why yes of course, follow me." Tecumseh and his guards made their way to a wooden permanent round lodge with a fire in the middle of it, and Native American art around it.

"What is it I can help you with Gentleman?"

"I am Lord Cartwright, Governor of Canada. My Sovereign, King George the Third, has requested that I seek an alliance with you. You see, we have a common enemy. The Americans have got to go and the Empire is willing to provide you with arms and military support."

Tecumseh looked into Cartwright's eyes trying to see his motives.

"That I agree on, Native America needs all the support it can get if its going to survive, mostly canons and more guns. We also need some ships, although thats relatively secondary."

Tecumseh stroked his braid in thought, and looked at the fire, wondering about the future.

"Please understand, this alliance will only be against the United States of America, if you get into some colonial war with like Spain, don't expect me to intervene. This will only be against USA.

"That said, what else can you offer. Do you have troops in the region?"

However, I am told that the Army is expanding as well as the Navy. You may soon see redcoats more often north of the border."

Tecumseh nodded deep in thought. "Can you provide us with the latest model canons, with ammunition to match? Thats what we really need. With canons I can hold off the Americans indefinently."

The Native American army had been training in Guerrilla Warfare for years, making fall back points, building fortifications in major cities...

"We can't become a modern army marching in lines. I don't have the manpower, I can create a small division that can be a regular army, but the army must first have to be able to defeat the Americans slowly bleeding them to death, or starving them to death."

Tecumseh looked back at the British man "I need your canons, and guns though. It will help me very much."

Governor Cartwright returned to his carriage and began his journey back to York. Canada had a garrison force of barely 12,000 men and those were located mostly in Lower Canada, near New England. If he was going to fight a war here, he would need more troops.

Paris, France

Sir Walter Wright, 13th Earl of Kent, rode towards the Palace of Versailles, where the French Emperor Bonaparte was staying. As distasteful as an alliance with the French was, the Earl could see the advantage of not having to worry about Europe when war with America came.

Imperial Palace - Tokyo, the Grand City, the Heart of the Japanese Empire
大日本帝国 (The Japanese Empire) || 日の出の帝国 (The Empire of the Rising Sun)

Her Grand Imperial Majesty, Empress of Japan, Governess of the Imperial Vassals, Aya Yamazaki; descended of the Great Akito Yamazaki, the first of the Yamazaki Dynasty. Aya Yamazaki was currently in her Imperial Palace; a calm, eloquent place with many statues and much art within. The Empress, herself, was only thirty - young, for a Japanese ruler. The Japanese Empire, under the Yamazaki Dynasty, had accomplished much; it had 'Westernized' to a degree, assimilating aspects of Western culture, but enhancing them to be better for Japanese use. The Yamazaki Dynasty oversaw the conquest of Joseon/Korea, as well as China later, as well as expanding the Empire to own what it does today; and now, with very little left of the Pacific to conquer, the Empire of the Rising Sun has to look east, towards the New World; the Americas. She had every intention of seeing to Japanese dominance in the Pacific as well as colonization efforts in the Americas, before her reign ended.

Currently, she was in a meeting with the Councilmen of the House of Councillors, as well as her Imperial Court (the Lords/Ladies who governed specific areas of the Empire). Empress Yamazaki was currently listening to the Councilmen and those of her Court present debate on whether or not there should be an expedition sent to the Americas with supplies to attempt to begin colonization. Already, they had decided that meeting with the Kingdom of Hawai'i was going to be necessary for further expansion. Of course, that could be dealt with on a later date. Currently, the major issue of debate was what to do about the British colonies to the south of the Empire, as well as near Southeast Asia. This could pose a threat to Japanese expansion and dominance, after all. The Empire was slightly progressive in some ways, allowing women the right to vote for Senators (after all, if ruling Ladies could, and there was an Empress; why couldn't women vote?) among other things, but it wasn't really far ahead in the race of various things. Indeed, criminals were treated as indentured servants and often enslaved. Empress Yamazaki, after the debate was concluded, had made her decision in concurrence with the Councillors and Court-members present.

“I shall approve of what you propose, Councillors. We shall send a diplomatic message to the British Empire, as well as to the Kingdom of Hawai'i. We shall also begin preparations for an expedition to the Americas, but will not engage in such until dominance in the Pacific is assured.”, she said. The Councilmen present nodded, as did the Lords and few Ladies of the Empress' Court present. The Japanese Empire was to attempt diplomacy with the British; to see if they were willing to sell their Indonesian colonies and such. If they were, it would help Japanese colonization immensely and would avoid future... conflicts of interest. Empress Yamazaki dismissed the Councilmen and the Court, and commanded that the Minister of Diplomacy for the Empire of Japan send a message to the British Empire. Empress Yamazaki simply hoped that the British didn't dismiss her offhandedly; although, she was nervous such may occur.

To the British Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, His Majesty, King George III of the British Empire, and His Excellency, Prime Minister Robert Perceval
From the Ministry of Diplomacy for the Empire of Japan, on behalf of the Imperial Court and Imperial Diet, as commanded by Her Grand Imperial Majesty, Empress of Japan, Governess of the Imperial Vassals, Aya Yamazaki

Greetings to you,

On behalf of the Empress of Japan, we would like to invite you to a formal diplomatic meeting to discuss various topics of interest regarding the Pacific. We would be delighted if you responded as soon as possible, and if you accepted our invitation.

Kind Regards,
The Ministry of Diplomacy on behalf of Her Grand Imperial Majesty.

European Trade in the Empire has lead to a influx of resources to the Empire. Trade is booming, and the Japanese Economy is growing. But, the trade has also allowed a huge Drug Trade in Opium to reach Japan and their mainland territory. Japanese Citizens are being hooked on the drug, opium dens exist in every city. The Emperor himself has become addicted to the substance. The Japanese are faced with a choice, Enforce a ban on Opium which will lead to unrest with the population and bring high tensions between Japan and The Kingdom of Great Britain (The main exporter), or allow the Drug Trade to continue and cause the Japanese Economy to slowly decline due to a decrease in productivity from the widespread addiction.

French Empire



Citizens of the Island of Corsica have begun to demand more autonomy from the French Government, after a recent law passed by the French Local Government in Corsica outlawed the time held tradition of Single Combat on the island. They demand the right to be exempt from French Law, and to have their own government to dictate affairs of Corsica. Denying them this will cause the Corsicans to resent France in the future, and will forever sour relations between the French and their Corsican Subjects.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland



French Quebecers have begun to lobby the British King to give Quebec more Autonomy, after a Quebecian man name Jean Pastel began the Quebec Nationalism Movement, stirring up Anti-British propaganda in Quebec. They ask for the establishment of a French Quebecer Government to government Quebec, and the exemption of British Law from the area. Denying them this will lead to large strikes of Quebecer Workers and desertions of Quebecer Redcoats.

Native America



Native Americans inside the United States have begun to make deals with the US Government, to have their warriors serve in the US Military in return for protection of their lands. The US Government has trained and equipped these men, and set them loose inside Native America. The men, who have taken to calling themselves "Rushers" for their tactics in battle, have begun a huge Raiding Campaign all over Native American Territory, wearing a purple coat along with their native dress. They ride on horse back, quickly moving in and decimating Caravans or Villages, and running back off into the hills. Native America must either choose to ignore this and allow the locals to deal with it, or divert troops south to Missouri to squash these men.

The majority of the 12,000 garrison troops in Canada were British and they were soon called upon to keep the peace in Quebec. It would be a fair bit of time before the King received their demands and, for now, it was up to Lord Cartwright to deal with the situation.

In India, the British had begun to expand, mostly by purchase but occasionally by force. Dominance in the region was paramount and instructions from London were clear: Under no circumstances could the Japanese get a leg up. Other forces were expanding through Indonesia, seeking out ever more resources and, in Africa, the story wasn't much different, as Britain's African colonies expanded to secure the vast reserves of precious minerals beneath the surface.

At the sight of the 12,000 Canadian Troops being called into Quebec, the Strikers at the Quebecian Factories sent out runners for the Peoples French Militia, a small rabble of armed members of the Quebec Nationalism Movement. 500 men dressed in dark blue coats and white shirts, like those used in the American Revolution, came out in front of the mass of Strikers. They were mainly armed citizens, and with few veteran Redcoats sprinkled in there. They stood in ranks in front of the Strikers, their muskets still on their shoulders. They shouted for the Redcoats to go on home

Roars echoed from the men and the crowd behind them. Quebecers, not only the Strikers but now some citizens from the streets, began to shout at the British Troops. A crack echoed from the crowd, a puff of power and a civilian lay dead, in the confusion no one could see who fired.

Quebecer Militiaman Captain: FIRE! KILL THE DOGS!

The Militiamen fired in a blind frenzy, killing 8 civilians and the same amount of British Regulars, the men began to scatter from the square, knowing British Retaliation was coming, they were heading for stores and houses from which they could fire out of.

News soon spread of Quebec City. British Sympathizing newspapers tried to print stories of how Quebec Rebelled against British Rule, but eyewitness reports combined with the death toll and the fact that Quebec was largely razed, cause huge amounts of Papers and Engravings to spread throughout Canada, telling of the British Empire firing on a unarmed mob of civilians and then burning the town to the ground (Dramaticized by the Quebec Nationalists to help their cause). The people of Quebec now out right hated the British, and resent would grow and smolder for years to come.

French Quebecers have begun to lobby the British King to give Quebec more Autonomy, after a Quebecian man name Jean Pastel began the Quebec Nationalism Movement, stirring up Anti-British propaganda in Quebec. They ask for the establishment of a French Quebecer Government to government Quebec, and the exemption of British Law from the area. Denying them this will lead to large strikes of Quebecer Workers and desertions of Quebecer Redcoats.

Native America

Native Americans inside the United States have begun to make deals with the US Government, to have their warriors serve in the US Military in return for protection of their lands. The US Government has trained and equipped these men, and set them loose inside Native America. The men, who have taken to calling themselves "Rushers" for their tactics in battle, have begun a huge Raiding Campaign all over Native American Territory, wearing a purple coat along with their native dress. They ride on horse back, quickly moving in and decimating Caravans or Villages, and running back off into the hills. Native America must either choose to ignore this and allow the locals to deal with it, or divert troops south to Missouri to squash these men.

The chief of the Creeks, who moved his whole tribe to Native America decided that it was his job to stop this incursion, taking with him his whole tribes warriors he went to the hills and brought a Native America flag, and shouted in their Native Language "You have no reason to fight us! The US who stole your land from you, and now forces you to fight your own people is your enemy!"

The Native fighters called the 'Rushers' had already experienced mass desertion, maybe their chiefs believed that the US would honor its treaties with them, but they knew better. The U.S. had constantly cheated the Natives of their territory promised in earlier treaties, and most were absolutely sure the US wouldn't honor with one either.

The remaining 'Rushers' had come to fight the Chief of the Creeks so that the US could give them more land and rights in treaties, but hearing his words, some hesitated. When they were given the order to attack the Creeks, many simply stopped, which started their fellows attacking them, and exposed huge tribe rivalries within an army made up of different tribes.

In the end the remaining 'Rushers' were badly organized, but the only survivors were the ones who wanted to attack the Creeks, for various reasons. They began rushing the Creeks.

The Creek Chief sighed, and ordered his men to load.

Then aim.

Then fire.

Dozens of the shots hit their targets as the Creeks fired right as the 'Rushers' got within prime firing distance. The rest were destroyed by hand to hand fighting.

This incursion would help to cement the tribes of Native America into one people, and not multiple, because of the fear of the United States.
