Brave New World, Same Old Scars (Aeterna Publicae only)

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

Arranged in one mass, the T-72s deploy and form a curve position around just one of the pincers, making sure they outnumber them. They unleash their barrels, pouring shells into the enemy as they focus on the trenches. Grads further from the line join them.

The Soyuza forces are battered but take cover, for now needing only to hold the line. SAM batteries arrayed in the populated areas beyond the front lines, fire at the Badassistanian forces whenever they come into range.

Bombers continue to batter the Soyuz defensive line while several fighters begin strafing runs of Soyuz trenches and Infantry which causes mass casulties on the enemy side. Several other fighters, seeing the movment by opposing tanks, lock onto them and begin barrages of missles upon them. The tanks turn there attention to the opposing tanks and begin to return heavy fire but many are destroyed in the attack.

The bombers and fighters come under heavy SAM fire, while mobile missile deployments cover the tanks, shooting their missiles at the distracted aircraft.

As the tanks lack infantry cover, hundreds of RPG squads hurry out of the trenches while the aircraft are distracted, shooting their missiles often at point blank range into the tanks.

An anonymus message is sent to the Blackwood HQ.

I hear you're up for hire. How about solving a missing persons case for me, eh? Come down to Aconcauga, fly by with whomever you got leading you people, and we'll talk the job there.

The VP is sent to discuss. He flies a jet and soon arrives in a airport.

The airport is mostly barren at this time, but a man wearing a masquerade mask approaches the man. "Blackwood?"

[Togeria]

In preparation for the war, and for the first time in its modern history as draft has been issued to all Togerian peoples 17-45 years of age. Within the coming days it is expected for nearly 250,000 to join the military a bar which has been dubbed the "blood line" calls for a limit of at least 6,000,000 should the war proceed which would bring the total Togerian military numbers to 8,000,000.

Within Britannia recruitment posters are made to gain as much support of the former Americans as possible calling for a number of 2,000 from the expected 50,000 living there. The lands of the empire are called upon as the numbers begin to read

34% Gaulish

29% Athran(Native Togerians)

12% Iberian

12% Celtic

6% African

6% Anatolian and Semitic

1% American.

New recruits are sent either to mountains of Iberia, the forest of Gaul and Britannia, Athran foothills, or the sands of North Africa and Arabia. Often times many recruits are switched around to give them a wide variety of training though a select few are sent to the Togerian Alps for training in cold weather should a war east come closer to fruition.

Baltika Front: In Petrovgrad and Kuraa, obstacles are prepared on the beaches, while SAM sites and gun emplacements are placed facing the beachheads. Airfields are heavily defended by AA, while MiG-29s are shipped to man them. The garrisons prepare for a brutal urban fight, knowing the Baltic Fleet stands no chance against the Volkstradis.

Petra Front: Constantly on edge, the Oil Line forces fire maniacally whenever the enemy is spotted, the grenade attacks draining them of sleep. Mortars are fired in quick bursts at the Volkstradi lines, hoping to keep them awake and strained in the same fashion. Occasionally Grads are pulled up beyond the lines, unloading their rockets in lighting attacks before departing.

Fallschirmjäger touchdown in Baltika, and set up covertly out of sight and wait for radio contact.

Several more nights pass by while bombers try to clear the minefields as much as possible before the fleet passes. Other bombers are sent ahead in the final nights to try to clear some of the path for the assault.

The Alpenjäger keep moving to keep their positions unknown, continuing to raid the enemy. When prisoners are taken successfully, they are sent back to camps in Volkstrad for detainment.
The Volkstradi Army, re-armed and prepared again for continuing the assault ready up to move, another Napalm/Carpet Bombing run to be undertaken before the assault.

Baltika Front: as the minefields are inevitably cleared, the USP uses the extra moment of bought time to reinforce and supply the defending forces of the urban areas as much as possible. With trains filled, most civilians are unable to escape for now, and a siege mentality quickly developed as the feared Volkstradis approach.

Petra Front: With the prisoner transfer taking place within the lines, the USP is already well-aware of the infiltrators, having seen their aircraft on radar since the beginning. For now, the Spetsnaz wait, wanting the Volkstradis to develop a false sense of complacency.

She sighs and walks forward, a duffel bag of luggage in once hand and a brief case in the other.

A man approaches her, grinning. His face is covered with horrific burn scars, while he wears an eyepatch like Rosalina, shrapnel scars on his forehead. He wears a peg-leg in place of a limb, while one of his hands is also cut off. "Hey, I'll be administering your basic training. Won't go easy on ya. It's worth it, trust me. Don't wanna end up like I did." He chuckles.

"Yup yup. Let's get started." She says in a wincing and nervous voice.

*TRAINING MONTAGE BEGINS*

For the next three months (which I assume a lot of has already happened,) Jojo is put through constant training under the tutelage of Comrade Fuckface. He teaches her how to use her size to her advantage, focusing on using her potential rather than simply beating her up through training.

She gains knowledge and even buffs up a bit but continues to retain her... undesired personality.

With much regret, the spetsnaz overseers are forced to break her, and rebuild her into an entirely new person. She is transferred to training camps deep within Sovosika, and cut off completely from her former world.

The Baltic Fleet now moves through the Minefield's remnants, U-Boats guiding them through to avoid casualties.


The Volkstradi Army begins moving again, across the devastated enemy lines and forwards into Petra, Spy Planes moving ahead first to locate any enemy positions. Additionally, motorcycle scouts are sent ahead of the Leopards and other armoured vehicles.

The Alpenjäger continue to run raids, however, more of them begin to amass for an assault, Mounted troops, troops on foot, and even Leopard Tanks preparing for the assault. Artillery is brought in and set up, and several night bombing campaigns begin.

With the sudden heavy AA and SAM fire, bombers begin to retreat back into safety but try to drop whatever bombs they still have left on the defensive positions that remain untiuched however many planes go down due to the SAMS and there pilots try to aim the planes in the direcrion of trenches and artillery before jumping. The RPG teams cause heavy casultipes in the tank divisions who begin a mass retreay in owrder to save as many tanks as possible. Seeing the failure of the attack, infantry begin to create basic trench networks while Iranian support begins to arrive on the scene including more artillery, troops, mobile AA, and fresh supplies.

Her comrades have a mix of pity and accepted justice for her, seeing this punishment as entirely good, for getting rid of her old, privileged self, but.. even Comrade Fuckface has some regret. In a gentle gesture, he issues her a state-produced stress ball.

As the war tenses up, the SG decides to ask other nations if they can deploy field hospitals out to their lines to finally begin their aid to the ones at war.

Mines are scattered more wildly from this point on, instead of concentrated fields to keep the Volkstradis guessing.

As soon as the Volkstradi forces come into sight, the Soyuza soldiers re-emerge, manning the most intact sections of the defensive lines and emplacements. The surviving T-62s open fire, lobbing shells towards the Volkstradis.

With the Volkstradi Air Force operational elsewhere, the USP decides to unleash their most destructive forces and end the Volkstradi run inside their borders. Tu-160 heavy bombers from Drozdovo fly high over their positions, carpet-bombing their forces indiscriminately.

In trainingsessions she would have the ball with her whenever she could. She would soon perform better and act more controlled under tense situations and her crying would stop.

Late one night, a note is found on her cot, from Rosalina.

I know it must be hell for you, but.. I mean well for you, Jojo. I would have killed you if I truly wanted to. I care about few people, but you've earned my affection, for better or worse. In the end, this will make you a better, tougher person, even if you have to use your own motives for now. Do it for yourself, then. Become better at warfare so you can be a better PMC commander. But never forget your end goal. You need to become humble in the end, but these things take time. Be patient, Jojo. Just know things will get better.

With the trenches having suffered significant damage, the wounded are evacuated while the People's Engineers work on fixing them, repairing bunkers and attempting to strengthen the Soyuza lines. The wounded are shipped just a while to the North, the main highway filled with military vehicles as they are taken to Lyzbeqriyat.

Reinforcements arrive, consisting of some 50,000 reserves from Khovatstan, while more SAM launchers, artillery, and tanks arrive. Oil is supplied by Lyzbekistan, easily piped from the facilities in Shukhev.

The IVA pulls back and fires Heavy Artillery Shells to attempt to blow up the enemy positions. They scatter a bit to avoid the bombs and take cover, using their mobility to get out of the way.

Buoys are deployed to probe for mines and detonate them wherever they can do so.

Anti-Air on the far back original line starts to open fire on the bombers, and Interceptors are immediately deployed to attack and attempt to bring down the bombers.

100,000 South African troops arrive along with 50,000 Iranian troops bringing the total number of men on the border to be around 250,000 and with them they bring more permenent artillery and AA fixtures that will most likley be put to good use in the coming weeks. The trench system continues to get more complex as minefeilds are laid, more trenches are dug, and MG nests are built. Feild hospitals are opened up within the trenches in order to get troops immediate care before being shipped to Iranian Hospitals.

"Important then ever. We will discuss more when we reach our destination." He starts driving, all the way to a few thousand feet up the tallest mountain, to a large mansion overlooking the area. T-54 tanks guard the perimeter, and a helipad holds an Mi-8 atop it.

"Get out, and head inside." He gets out and stands by the entrance.
