Nation Roleplay - 2070 [TDC l IC l Closed]

[Ozerstine]

The fall of Prussia , something that the whole estrellmaan governement have never think off . Prussia was always the main problem in estrellmaa international relation , the hostility show by prussia have always made estrellmaa tremble behind his massive wall . Now that estrellmaa is in the panslavic alliance estrellmaa for the first time of is short history was safe , without any hostile power in neighbourg , the media was non stop talking about that , and the young population estrelmaans was relieved and happy about this but a feeling of misunderstanding why prussia had disappeared so suddenly . it seems that a terrorist network have decide to make and incredible attack on berlin , they was want to kill the kaiser and destroy every people linked to prussian politic or any military leader , the attack was a succes only few politician have managed to fleed Berlin . after this all the revolutionary movement and independentist have decide to act for take there independence or have finally the control of prussia . the estrellmaan governement have immediatly react and decide to make some refugee camp at the border with the old prussia for welcomed refugee , but the situation was way more worse than expected and even the refugee camp build by estrellmaa was not enough and for a whole week refugee have to wait 2 day before pass the wall , after that the estrellmaa governement have managed to made more camp fluidize the refugee trafic . Estrellmaa was worried about the new governement and all the war between them. Estrellmaa was member of the panslavic alliance for several months , of course they didn’t anounce it to the world for hide their card especialy from the eyes of prussia .

The 5 member of the panslavic to meet in Volgograd for talk about wath to do now , i twas clear that it was time for expand, make the land stable again and avoid the raise of any hostile nation . The five member have discuss for a long time, and the only point where there was serious difficulty was with kallingrad PRO and estrellmaa want to own it and both rush for it ,after a moment of hostility the two party have find an agreement , PRO will own the town kallingrad and a bit from around this city and estrellmaa the rest , estrellmaa was relieved and grateful about how the tension was ended .

The next step was to annex the baltic island of oland , gotland , ronne and aland the Scandinavian army was mainly around the smaland region to fight prussia and to prepare for a possible PRO attack when with the fleet it was especially just south of aland fighting with the Scandinavian f leet but also around oland for fight the prussian army , the island of ronne was not occupied by anyone and therefore the estrellmaan army arrived on the island without having any resistance from the inhabitants who was rather relieved to finally see someone because food was scarce and since perosnne didn't give them food the situation started to get to complicated . gotland was not too complicated to take either since the majority of the troops protected kalmar and the troops were fighting against the hundred troops present and after a day the island was under their control. Kalmar et aland was much more complicated to take since there was a strong troop presence and the majority of the Scandinavian fleet and the monarchist fleet were there, but the generals of estrellmaa who became more experienced with each battle had a plan, the objective was to convince the two governments to surrender fairly quickly and won aland and oland by losing a minimum of looses . the estrellmaan navy was first try to attack oland a lot of the scandinavian was here trying to push back the prussian who have taken the eastern part of smaland provinces . the navy of estrellmaa made an attack by the north and surround the scandinavian navy who was already fighting the neo prussian army in the south , the scandinavian navy was now block between prussian nav and estrellmaa navy , but estrellmaa have leave a small passage in the perfect encirclement that they had made the Scandinavian force its then hasten to flee by this small passage however what awaited them at the exit was an army of submarine ready to destroy them . the Scandinavian fleet fell into the trap and part of their fleet was wiped out the rest of the fleet decided to take the southern course knowing that the estrellmaa fleet was preparing to welcome them and also that it was much more numerous than the Prussian fleet in the area, of course this desperate suicide attack came to nothing and the rest of the scandinavian fleet was destroyed while the estrellmaa fleet seized oland that was a costly battle for estrellmaa the plan had been respected and few warships had been destroyed. the inhabitants of oland had been hiding for a few weeks in their house knowing that the prussian and scandinavian fleet was fighting not far from their island and that there was always a risk that a missile or other object would land on the island. The inhabitants of Oland may many have been rather surprised to know that neither the Scandinavians or the Prussians who came to their island whose special light had attracted so many artists before, but estrellmaa, the small Baltic nation , some were moderately happy some was saying that estrellmaa was better than the Prussian fascists but the others considered that estrellmaa had nothing to do there and was already preparing a revolt, however, a perculiarity of the soldiers of estrellmaa was that they had been trained to be appreciated by the people and trained to give a good impression of estrellmaa to the others as they were taught from the beginning of their training "after winning a war another begins in the conquered territory, and this war is the war of the hearts" and the soldiers of estrellmaa were without doubt the best in this domain, however the soldiers knew that oland was sparsely populated and that it was much easier to calm them down than in a big city.

In the same time the monarchist sweden was know that estrellmaa was want aland and decide to give it for avoid a costly war they already had enough problem with prussia and fear PRO, the government of estrellmaa decided to send a request for peace to the scandinavian, estrellmaa guarded all the scandinavian island of the baltic ( oland and gotland included ) (except that very close to the scandinavian kingdom) the scandivanian accept hoping to get them back later after finish the the prussian.

The baltic island war was finish and i twas now time to move south , the estrellmaa army was already settled in kallingrad and after negociation with PRO kallingrad was split . a lot of russian have move to the PRO part and the rest was not really happy about estrellmaa invasion except the lithuanian and belarussian minority and the curonian people .

The next step was to crush the polish revolutionary army , who was already made some problem at the boundarie , the accord between SECP and estrellmaa made the south of the lublin voivode part of SECP so the estrellmaa army will stop here . the fight have begun and the estrellmaa army have start pushing the PRA army but the strong PRA artillery have made the things really costly in term of life and also really hard after one week estrellmaa only taken the town of suwalki even if the estrellmaan was superior in term of manpower and tank power, the PRA artillerie was powerfull and the time that all the man power and the artillerie was at the boundarie a lot of loss have been counted by the estrellmaan army . after the artillerie was installed the attack goes way faster and the town of augustow and bialystock fall easily but in the southern part of PRA i twas more hard and the general decide to do a big push by th north for surround PRA army , it worked and a lot of PRA army was gone back to dust , the estrellmaa army was however stop at the town of parczew the PRA army war reorganized and stop estrellmaa with their strong artillery the estrellmaa army was advance really slowly but after two week of a painfull advance they finally reach all their goal Lublin was finally taken and PRA surrender , the land wanted by estrellmaa was annexed and the rest was occupied by the PLA who was wait the SECP army .

The people was clearly unhappy about this annexation except in augustow , Lublin, parcew, lubartow and lumza where the people add enough of anarchy for a whole life .

After that i twas time to push the fascist who have annexed the PLA force in the warmurian mazurian voivode the fascist was kinda strong but was not really expected an attack by estrellmaa so soon and was already struggling because of the PLA rebel in the voivode they annexed

The estrellmaa army have easilly taken the warmian mazurian voivode and the eastern part of the mazovian voivode until they find a strong and unpernatrable PFA defense the estrellmaa decide to stop and install defenses and wait for them to attack but after a long time they realize that the PFA will never move and it was to the estrellmaa army to move . after some little unfructuate attack the estrellmaa was need an idea for advance . The idea come from the fact that the fascist have a strong navy but who was weakened by constant fight with the scandinavian , and the really strong estrellmaa army will have no problem to reopen a front in the north by land with their warship . the battle have begun and estrellmaa have clearly understimate the polish navy they have finish to won but a lot of ship have been destroy , in the same time a new nation appear in north germany made prussia in a really bad position . after the naval battle won the soldier have land just next to the town Leba and have invade a part of poland the city of gdansk gdynia leba and malorck was conquered and and the unpenetrable defense line of the fascist was more extensive and dispersed and therefore weaker it was still impossible to advance and the naval invasion would have been complicated because the fascist fleet had reorganized and it would have been too expensive to attack them now , but estrellmaa have bought from PRO a lot of tank qho have the particularity to be reallyfast the plan was to make a big push in the south . the push work and the polish defense ecede to the town of bydogszcz warsaw and slupsk . the polish know that they have lost but decide to unite with prussia for kill estrellmaa , the new unite fascist – prussian nation with a stronger army have made the estrellmaan army recede to the town of gdynia ,starogard ,kwydsyn, an wyskow . the estrellmaa army have after this big push managed to stop them and was now try to attack by the coast and destroy the prussian fascist navy who was really weakened by the constant attack on the scandiinavian fleet . the estrellmaa was finally push the prussian-fascist army , but i twas a painfull advance , kilometer by kilometer , town by town the estrellmaa advance , a with enormous damage to their army, but it was still dominant. The navy have finaly destriy prussian fascust navy and have taken all the danemark island except the copenague island but the navy laid siege to the island preventing her from receiving resources and bombarding her from time to time to force the island to wave the white flag. In the land the estrellmaa army aafter several month of fight dead and blood have finally reach the town of Pila and koszalin , and a revolt in Stargard against the prussian governement make the thing a lot of easier , after a nother week estrellmaa have take all the
nother n poland and copenhague decide finally to surrender after a long siege . i twas a matter of time before the estrellmaa army take the rest of prussia –fascist poland and for avoid that the dictator decide to surrender and a peace treaty was signed .

the only and last step to this war was take the rest of Denmark and estrellmaan army and navy was ready to atatck the communist denmark first ,the communist army of denmark was little but well equiped and even with the number on their side a lot of estrellmaan soldier die, after have made a push with the PRO tank and a naval invasion on the south the communist was defeat

the rest of denmark was owned by scandinavia and estrellmaa governemnt already have a plan for take this land , the navy force who was protected the colony was going to be brought all the way up the northwest coast of Denmark to make a big invasion and at the same time the baltic navy will block any naval forces who will try to attack the land owned by etsrellmaa and a big push in the south , the plan almost work eexcept for the big push in the south the scandinavian army have build well defense and the estrellmaa have loss many man and tank in this fight , after 2week the situation was blocked with estrellmaa in the north and west denmark and half of the south who was owned by the communist before the troup in the north have found a loophole in the Scandinavian defence and used this loophole to invade central Denmark while the naval forces blocked the Scandinavian fleet's attacks. In the south the aerial force of the scandinavian and estrellmaan was fighting and after a decisive battle in the air estrellmaa have destroy most of the aerial foces of the scandinavian in danemark and was able to bombed the ennemy defences and because of that push back the defense of the scandinavian army while the north army advance and after a moment the scandinavian army was surround by the north army and the south army and in the decisive battle of sonder omme estrellmaa finish teh scandinavian forces ind enmark , after that the scandinavian who has lost a lot f man and was already in trouble with smaland prussiaand decide to sign the peace treaty proposed by estrellmaa

it was the end of the war after so many battle estrellmaa was finally victourious

PFA

The PFA was not happy about being Occupied by a foreign power but the war-weary populus and militiamen were tired of fighting after the four months previous of fighting other Polish factions. Still there were those who fought in many cases too a man when the Estrellmaan army rolled through. As they pushed on into Pomerania the soldiers appeared to be getting younger until when they finally reached Szczecin where the Estrellmaa would find a training ground for what the PFA called the Polish Youth Corps. The children detailed how this came to be which revealed to have roots in old facist roots from the Second World War.

The Prussians withdrew back across the border seeing no reason to continue to back the PFA and focus on their own war at home.

Kaliningrad

The militia Groups in Kaliningrad laid down their arms peacefully though some talked of rebellion this talk soon subsided and Kaliningradians settled into their new lives.

PRA

The PRA meanwhile fought tooth and nail too the bitter end inflicting heavy casualties on the Estrellmaans as the PRA militiamen pulled back swiftly those who were encircled laid down their arms however as the second part of the month rolled around massive revolts broke out in the now occupied land the PRA used to own. Vandalism and fire bombs were commonplace in used against the Estrellmaans who tried to stop this. And it was likely that if not quelled it would continue on indefinitely.

Denmark Comintern and the SLF

The Communists fought bravely but in the end were subdued and so they went to ground and began to operate underground. The Communists found unlikely allies among the SLF and through the use of social media platforms have gotten the word out to the rest of the SLF through use of encryption. The SLF already knows of the PRO’s involvement given the casualties suffered during the push against Prussia. For now they cannot do much against the Estrellmaa. A Declaration of war was sent from the SLF to the Estrellmaa followed up an hour later by cruise missiles hitting Götaland where Estrellmaa troops were stationed. As well as retaliatory airstrikes which hit Estrellmaa forces in Copehagen and in other locations around Denmark causing massive amounts of casualties reportedly. MLR were moved Malmö and began firing rockets into Estrellmaa Formations. Along with the MLR’s several infantry brigades made their way to protech the bridge. Coastal defenses were prepared as well for the coming and Reservists were called up for muster but would not be prepared until the next month.

Italian Duchy palace, 7030 hours.

- Men and women of the People. On the 10th of april, an alliance composed of the treachery and inhumanity of everything known to man has been formed. Not shortly after, the computers in our computers have been hacked, preventing a good response. Unorthodox tactics used against us such as disguising their troops as prussia, and marching to war without declarations.
Announces the Grand Duke, at the palace in front of a crowd of reporters.
But worse of all, their pilots have little to no regard to civilian casualties. Under their bombs children and family die every day. They swept through the countryside and killed those who resisted. No one is safe from this. The day of the tenth of April, 2077 will be a die who lies in infamy.
He continues, with a renewed tone.
We will fight back! On this day our forces come out of reserves and prepare to assault back. We will fight till our guns run out of ammo, which we then pull out our knives. When the knives go blunt, we will fight with our fists. We will never capitulate in the face of a foreign threat!

The hundreds of people scotched in front of the TV’s and phones realize the dire situation of which their country is in. nationalists of all ages rush to the conscription booth now not only to serve their nation but also to protect their families, now at risk by the onslaught. To renew trust in French population, a measure was to be taken. Hence the creation of the Légions Francaises by General Leclery, a popular general loyal to the new republic and whose ancestor was the famed general Leclerc. The first legions disposed of 8 divisions of mechanized infantry, 4 divisions of prussian tanks left by the prussian troops, mortar squads, machine gun squads and AT batteries. The Légion de L’air was composed of 20 L-17s, 13 L-22s and 17 s-45 bombers. They also include a few Luxembourg attack heli’s and Prussian troops transports. These divisions were controlled by the French High command, with a direct connection to the Supreme authority command of Luxembourg (SACL).
L’état d’urgence is proclaimed and conscription in Italy and Switzerland is accelerated. Reserves are taken out of the hangars and tanks and armor are prepared.
A plan is proposed to the generals. A defensive line is to be taken into consideration. Forces would pull back and regroup to manage to revitalize morale and have a better organisation. Communications were put up, with the Cyber control and command doing their best to reestablish comms. Viruses were to be eradicated with speed as every single minute a frequency is down a soldier’s life was in danger.

Current frontline in red. Fall back order in blue.
The supremacy of air control was shaken to its core. Fighters were taken by surprise and gunned down without mercy. Pilots die at the hand of the enemy in moments none would imagine an attack. Bombers swept the city's killing thousands were met unopposed. The enemy was not to be underestimated. LAF decides to deploy its best fighters and pilots from reserves. All permissions were suspended and the scramble order was almost indefinite.
But Luxembourg hadn't played all of its cards yet. One of them in particular would make enemy superiors tremble in their boots. Quebec was in stability during the beginning of the year until the news of Prussian collapse came to the garrisons that belonged to Prussia. Luxembourg had a navy positioned there and was currently unused. Generals did not use them in the french campaign but now it was clear it was needed.
The 4th armada set off on the 12th of April at full steam, carrying Luxembourgish troops and materials. The prussians in the garrison would defend the land in case of an attack.The fleet set off full steam and the SACL decided to exploit at a maximum this oppurtunity.
But the fleet would take time to arrive so right now the dedication of officers was focused on.


The battle of Paris

Paris high command, 2300 hours_
- Sir a reconnaissance team confirmed our doubts. The hostile forces have taken our fall back for a retreat and are chasing us. Says a Colonel putting down the phone, one of the rare ones still operational.
- Perfect. The trap can be sprung. I’ve received word from SACL to engage the trap. Replies a General. How is the evac going?
- The civilians are evacuated as you asked.
- Great. Let me recap the plan. Says the General. We will adopt a continuous fall back technique with multiple walls. We set up at the first wall in the outskirts, once it becomes too hard to hold we fall back to the next one, rigging the one we left with explosives. Each wall has resources we will leave behind to use. They won't be able to bomb it unless using low altitude bombers in which case our AA will make quick work of it, because the houses in this city are so high and resistant they can take a few bombs and fall on themselves, offering good protection.
- Where is the trap exactly?
- Once they approach the champs de mars, they will think they will have a better chance. The plains are wide and we can't hold onto the line of defense. But in fact we faint another retreat, they leap at it and a bunch of betty mines and coordinated attacks from the buildings. In last case scenarios we topple the tower but only in last case.
- Let's hope it works.
- I hope so too. Let's go and prepare the mortars.
- Yes sir!

The battle was going to begin. The walls were in position and the trap ready to be sprung. Snipers in the buildings and automatic machine guns loaded.
In the banlieue benelux league forces march on. Tanks and Mechanized units scour the streets looking for booby traps. A particular convoy is being observed by Void squad, recommissioned from their mission in Vichy.
- Command, this is Void squadron. Impact with enemy forces from your position in 5 minutes.
- Copy that Void, continue observation
- Yes sir
- As the radio soldier cuts off communications he joins the others on the rooftop of a Carrefour supermarket.
- Anything new? He asks.
- Nothing really. The defenses should hold by then. Says one of the spec op soldiers.
- Are the charges in place?
- At your command we blow up this place sky high.
- Good. prepare for the final scan.
- Yes sir. Finishes the trooper.
He moves to the ridge overlooking the street and uses infrared scanners to reveal the position of the charges. Tanks continue to roll below them with a worrying amount of troops under them.
Back at the defense line the first wall is all prepped up. The machine guns are positioned on the streets with cover and areas to retreat too. Antique AT batteries used in WW2 were even put into buildings and adapted with Anti Personal shells. Anything that can be used against the enemy is adapted and manned.
-Anything? Asks a soldier, crunched over his assault rifle.
-Nothing yet. This silence is agonizing… replies another with binoculars.
The two soldiers were recruited by the legion a few days after the first Benelux attack on the nation. Their parents had Luxembourgish origins and were glad their sons were ready to serve their nation.
-Wait. I see something! Exclaims a soldier not too far away from him. Suddenly, his head jolts back and he falls to the ground.
-Medic! Shit, they’re here! They’re here! Panics another soldier.
Around them dust is lifted up and the rattle of gunfire is heard. The machine guns position themselves and open fire.
-There, near the grocery store! A tank! It's gonna shoot, get to co- he says before a face of the building blows up.
-Get a Bazooka here! Exclaims a sergeant.
A soldier with an anti tank Piercer bazooka. Its missile is designed to pierce the enemy armor and detonate shrapnel inside the tank itself knocking out the crew. Some special units use depleted uranium or even a chemical that disrupts electronic systems.
The missiles shriek out of the RPG in a cloud of smoke and explode a meter away, shrapnel taking out the tracks, immobilizing the tank.
-Fuck, missed! Get another one quick! Screams the bazooka man fiddling with the weapon.
As the second tank shell hits a bunker taking out its crew, the RPG finally eliminates the tank only for Prussian APC’s rushing out of the smoke created by the explosion. Troops jump out of it and a tenacious close quarter combat begins.
The two sons take cover behind a fallen wall and occasionally peak out of their hiding spot to blindly shoot through the smoke. Occasionally a grunt is heard even with the gun fire and a feel of guilt comes over the soldier. He has killed a man.
-Fernand! Watch out! Screams Antoine as he ducks down.
A few seconds later another rocket zooms overhead taking out an entire facade. Ferdand gets back up and in front of him he sees a Benelux soldier running right at him. The two fight and roll on the paris cement before a single gunshot is heard. Blood piles on Ferdand but it's not his blood. A meter away from him Antoine sheaths his pistol still smoking.
-Thanks, says Ferdand, not sure what to say.
-Don't mention it, it's far from over. He replies.
Suddenly a whistle breaks the air and a voice screams: Fall back to the next point!
-Let's get moving! Exclaims Antoine as the two run back to the rest of the group.

Zooming out of this spot the battle starts as expected: The first line of defense inflicts casualties from their position before falling back. The Benelux tanks are prussian mark yes but the crews are inexperienced.
They are vulnerable to Luxembourg ambushes down the street and eventually perish one by one. The machine guns are heavy but their efficiency is not to be doubted.
(Image)
n the air though the first L-55’s come onto the scene. The pilots, coming right from Italy, supply some well needed reinforcements to the overwhelmed L-27 pilots.
Immediately, under the invisibility of their stealth tech they surge to surprise the bombers. Chemically assisted chain guns rip apart the steel frame of the bombers as they scream down to the ground. This gives an opening for marauders to strafe enemy forces on precise strikes.
On the ground mobile AA tanks scream their quadruple barrel guns and fire stinger missiles at the enemy. Sometimes a missile will hit and the plane will crash on the city below, starting fires that desolate the city of lights.
Meanwhile the front line starts to approach the champs de Mars, with the eifel tower miraculously still intact despite the bombings. The troops run across the charred grass with cover from soldiers entrenched near the buildings. Attack helicopters provide support against enemy APC’s and their gunners pepper the ground with bullets.

Under the eiffel tower snipers knockout soldiers while the enemy advances across the field.
In a HQ not far from the battle, reviewing the battle from a drone, a general gives the order.
- Spring the trap! Activate the mines! Fire at will!
The artillery pieces and Lotan tanks reveal themselves and unleash hell on the incoming forces. Their 90 millimeter guns tear apart the land and in panic some forces retreat in the wrong direction, finishing up shredded by the machine guns. In the end the forces finally push back Benelux forces.
Meanwhile a bit more into the city spec op team Void activates the charges. The explosions rock the city and walls of stone crumble on the tanks and soldiers burying them alive.

Quick, open fire! Shouts the commander on comms.
The experienced fighters fire from the rooftops from multiple positions. The remaining survivors are cut down with extreme violence, as no mercy for those who kill civilians.
-Wait! Look, in that building! Exclaims a soldier.
-What?
-Civilians! Near the shopping mall! We need to get them out!
-Copy that im getting the evac now anyway. Replies a commander
As the soldiers leap from the building, under gunfire and shells, the commander gets an extra heli to come help them evac.
-Francais! Mettez vous a couvert! French! Get to cover! Shouts a soldier fluent in french.
-Dac-daccord! Oka-okay! They reply, cowering in fear from the destruction around them.
As the 3 man squad go up the stairs they notice a lot more refugees than they thought. The city was still full of them!
-How is this possible? We made sure they were all out! Exclaims in disbelief as a soldier.
-I think they hid in the metro whent he first bombings came. They came out after we evaced.
-Tell Command we need more heli’s 1 won't be enough
-On it, I'm on it!
The soldier nearest to the family takes off his helmet to reassure the civilians, while the others cover him.
-Combien de Français reste-t’il? How many of you are there? He asks.
-Une trentaine, 30-ish replies the frenchmen.
-On va vous sortir de la ne vous inquiétez pas! We’ll get you out of their dont worry! He reassures them.
In a thunder of dust and debris the heli’s make their arrival as the civilians jump onto the waiting craft.
Later on the soldiers clear the area making sure no one gets left behind.

Late on the battle is declared won as the final Benelux forces retreat from the area, but it's a long way until the final victory. Nonetheless its hope for the forces of the Duke.

Meanwhile in Luxembourg the situation is dire. The Benelux forces launch waves of armies onto the enemy force and the forces defending the city have a hard time fending them off. Soon enough, the defenses are pierced and the city in flames. Spec op team Fortran 5 has a mission to supply the forces and evacuate the Minister of defense stuck in the city.
The VTOLL fleet lifts off at roissy airport at 0400 hours on the 19th. The soldiers carry equipment and ammo to the soldiers in the city. The L-55s also escort the force in case of enemy intercept.
-This is Seagull leader to Hawk squadron, radars see enemy birds at 3-2-6 from our position, says a commander on comms.
-We see them too, we’ll move to protect. Responds the leader in the lead L-55.
-Copy that. Good luck, over.
-What is it? Asks a soldier once the commander puts down the phone.
-Enemy birds not far ahead. Our escorts are moving to intercept.
-Ok, when do we land?
-12 minutes approximately.
-Good. we’ll break off soon then. He says, pointing out their special mission.
-True. get your men ready Sergeant.
-Yes sir!
The flock rapidly make view on the city as the flames from the city show up.
-My god the city's in ruins! Gasps a soldier.
-Not quite. Most monuments are spared and it's a miracle at that. The quicker we get them out the quicker we save the civilians still trapped and the monuments still intact.
The heli’s break off and the Spec op helicopter makes it to the ministers office. Fighting through waves of enemies the Minister is rescued. To his horror a few meters away from the helicopter it erupts in flames by an enemy tank.
-We need to barricade in, the next heli is in 30 minutes!
-Yes sir! Minister take cover in the room over there and doesn't get out until we say so! This depends on your life!
-Oka-okay… trembles the minister, asking himself why he got this job in the first place.
Thus engages a long siege of the building with tanks and soldiers launching rockets and missiles at the building. When all is fought to be lost, the helicopter arrives and they escape.
The war continues in Luxembourg city but the forces stand their ground. The time for the counter attack is soon….

Out the Benelux League Enter the French Resistance: Battle Of Paris

The forces sent to France were not professionals but militia this was true, however they gave their damnedest and were pushed back to Calais. During the fighting the FLA resistance fighters made their debute. As the League’s troops fell back and the Luxembourgians pursued they took this moment to strike at their occupiers. The Benelux region and France had traditionally been great allies and this occasion was no different. The Resistance reduced many Benelux Militia and brought them down into the sewers, despite the destruction wrought upon them the resistance was forgiving at least for now.

The Resistance which had been waiting for their opportunity saw this one as the perfect one and while abandoned equipment was plentiful they reaped their harvest in some parts of the city.

While the Luxembourgians left to chase down the Benelux the resistance struck the garrison in Paris from behind the very defenses they had erected using the Paris sewer system. Some who found their manhole had a Luxembourg tank sitting over it strapped explosives too it and blew it from underneath and then went too another exit and tossed grenades and other improvised explosives at Luxembourg soldiers. On their arms the Resistance wore armbands reminiscent of the French Resistance from WWII. Over several Buildings including Notre Dame the French Tri Color was risen with a red cross in the center of the white section of the flag.


The Flag risen

Elsewhere in the city similar scenes of resistance fighters rising from the sewers or the ruins armed to the teeth played out catching the Luxembourgians with their pants down. Civilian Drones dropped homemade bombs made of grenades and badminton birdies dropped onto tanks. One landing inside as its commander looked out to see if there were any other enemy tanks in the area.

RC planes loaded with homemade fire bombs flew into Luxembourgian positions. The Resistance dug into the ruins and laid down fire all around the Luxembourgians. When the Militia were buried under heavy fire the Resistance tried to rescue some of them and salvage equipment and then disappear again.


The fighting would go on into the night but would die down as neither force could maneuver effectively. No more Bombers came that night or during the fight as it waned out of the Benelux’s favor

Benelux Militia Calais

As the Militia crossed the Somme and rivers they had crossed they blew the bridges and set up defences. When night fell six thousand Prussian Troops who had defected to the Benelux side brought with them several hundred tanks, self propelled artillery as well as Rocket Artillery. As well as twenty five towed artillery pieces. In the ruins they hid their guns as well as tanks. Which they dug in. When Luxembourg and The French attempted to make a crossing using engineering vehicles they were shelled and mowed down with machine gun fire relentlessly. As well as Rail Gun fire from the cruiser which had been brought down from Amsterdam which also brought with it coordinated cruise missile strikes further dampening the French’s attempt at retaking the city. The Benelux militia took up formation trading out their disguises for their usual Militia garb which were old Netherlands and Belgian uniforms from before the Prussian’s taking of their nations.

The Benelux settled in for the long haul as it would take another month to get reservists to the front. For now the fight in France was a stalemate.


Benelux Miltia

Luxembourg Proper:Luxembourg City

April 18-20, 2077

The Proper Prussians who could be mustered were in the Luxembourg City Offensive and were put to good use against the Luxembourgians alongside the Militia who were also part of the force. Soon the forces were nearing the center of the city. The Bombing campaign had been shifted toward Luxembourg Proper and the city was nearly leveled by bombings night and day. The counter air offensive was countered by Prussian Defected Pilots and fighter drones who had been assigned to airfields set up in several civilian airports which during this war had been shut down. The Prussian defected pilots turned the tide for the war of air superiority in the skies over Luxembourg City and on the 19th Luxembourg City had fallen to the Blitzkrieg forces and it was known that the fight was far from over. As too the south intelligence had shown the Luxembourgians bringing troops in from their territory in Italy and Switzerland through the land they had taken from the puppet government. The experienced officers pointed out to the leaders of the Benelux League that Luxembourg Quebec would likely send soldiers. The leaders stated that Quebec was far from the theater and that they could be stopped if they attempted such a thing. Still one commander had his suspicions and had his men keep in the rear in case of invasion from the sea. With Luxembourg Proper in their hands the League began to press POW’s into service as conscripts to find landmines finders having them walk in front of columns of men to detect land mines. Such tactics had not been used in many decades. Mines were placed in the ruins by the Militia men themselves with the Luxembourgians kept far from the fields.

The one mercy they showed was too women and children and men who did not resist those who did not resist were given more food than those who had been captured during the fighting who had fought back. Command ordered them to tone down the war crimes but still use a firm hand. Among civilians it would be rumored that soldiers especially officers of Luxembourg were torchered for information using old Prussian interrogation tactics.

On the home front there were many protests to stop the fighting against the french however these were ignored as the puppet french were aiding the Luxembourgians.

For now the League had the upper hand in more ways than one.

[Estrellmaa]

the declaration of war by the scandinavians was rather unexpected given the weakness in which the scandinavian army in particular its naval force after the numerous defeats suffered the government of estrellmaa had reacted very quickly positioning the naval force, certainly weakened but still very powerful. the objective of the government was to invade Stockolm and the southwest of norway. the first step was to the first step was to protect the recently acquired islandat all cost. then the estrellmaa air force bombarded scandinavia including the cities of stockolm , malmo , helsinborg drammen and trollhatan , well the estrellmaan air force targe twas not the town itself but more the industrial complex around , weapon warehouses and military bases the operation took place at night and few people were killed but the industry and the Scandinavian army had been strongly affected by this attack. it was time to attack the Swedish coast during this time the Norwegian rebel group after months had taken up arms, they had accelerated the maneuver with the help of estrellmaa and succeeded in taking the west coast of norway and a party of the area of oslo (oslo includes). thus the Scandinavian was faced with four problems the Prussians who approached more and more stockolm, the Norwegians who attacked the defense posed attentively by the Scandinavian army, PRO who could intervene and attack at any time and estrellmaa who began to attack malmo via copenhagen without counting the embargo and the troops which began to land in the north of the country.

the troops of estrellmaa after being installed in the surrounding of gavle began a strong attack in the south to capture stockolm the first difficulty was made in Uppsala the Scandinavian army had planned the offensive and had placed numerous defense, the first attacks estrellmaa were unsuccessful and costly in number of lives, but as soon as the bombardments by the sky with the air force and by the sea via the warships the troops of estrellmaa advance and capture Uppsala and vasteras can after. meanwhile the estrellmaa planes as well as the warship bombed the soldiers present at stockolm after a week of incessant bombardment and the fact that the army further south had captured kristianstad and that things were getting worse on the prussian and norway fronts the scandinavian government decided to try a peace treaty with estrellmaa, the government of estrellmaa was already preoccupied by stabilized the occupied territories and agreed to negotiate. estrellmaa did not want new territory and decided instead to ask for a very large war reparation which would serve to repair the occupied territory

the war was more hard than expected and the governement was wanted to stop the war once for all and stabilize the occupied land . the war to bring a lot of advantage, the war repairs of the Scandinavians in addition to the ruined would allow the reconstruction of the occupied territoryit also allowed the Danish (except those of the communist party) to bombard by the Scandinavians, to realize that this country offered them a protection and could protect them and help them, seeing the soldiers rpotéger their house, their family and friend the army occupying denmark and the baltic islands became rather popular, even if the battle of the hearts was far from being won in denmark there was clearly progress and the situation was largely appeased in these areas

[The Nerf Principality]

After the recent development of Rajs Academies, the RFA would place a big bid to host the world's biggest game, the World Cup. However the RFA knew that just any bid would not work, they needed something more. Something that would make FIFA think twice if they were to decide not to grant Raj the opportunity to host the World Cup. The RFA came up with the idea of bribing a couple of the members of FIFA into voting for Raj to be hosts. But they’d need a lot of money, and a phone call would be made, all they had to do was convince Har Kusari that a World Cup could be beneficial to Raj.
“No. I’m not giving that large of a loan in order to host a tournament which will only make Raj even more populated and cluttered with people. Going outside makes me feel claustrophobic, imagine adding tourists into the mix. Especially not for a loan of that size”
“Mr. Kusari, this would be an excellent and exciting way to showcase our talent in front of our own crowd. Every time they score the crowd will be louder than if they were playing in Luxembourg or something. The cheers and the calling of their names alone will probably make European clubs sign them in order to sell merchandise.”
“I do not care much for sports. If they’re good enough they will be found by scouts on their own”
“Even the greatest artists needed a little push by someone else to sell their paintings”
Kusari paused for a minute
“Mr. Kusari?”
“Hear me out. I’ll go to their next friendly and if the national team plays well I’ll give you the loan.”
“Splendid.”
“Talk to you sooner or later”
The phone hung up and he turned to another member of the RFA.
“Well?”
“Kusari said if Raj play well in the next friendly he’d give us the loan for the bribes”
“Oh no”
“Why, oh no?”
“Raj play Argentina in their next friendly! We’re going to be dominated.”
“Have some faith our players are talented. We have the best scouts”
“A bunch of Mbasians and Arabians aren’t going to win against Argentina though!”
“Maybe.. we can always ‘influence’ the referees. Guarantee us the win?”
“I can make a call or two.. I’ll get on that now.”

In the coming weeks the RFA got antsy. This game could either ruin or start the World Cup dream for Raj.
“You paid the ref right?”
“Of course. Now stop talking, they're about to kick off”
A winger originally from Sudan would go down the wing at the 22nd minute, could this be Rajs first chance? The Argentinian defender tackles him and gets the ball away. To the crowd it was clean, to Kusari it was clean, to the RFA it was a clean tackle. But with the ref blinded by money the defender was sent off and the penalty was given.
“One of the few players born and raised in Raj steps up to the plate to try and hammer in the penalty. He looks nervous and the goalkeeper is infuriated by what he seems to believe a terrible call from the ref. The ref blows the whistle.. and he’s hammered it in!”
The RFA celebrated the goal they didn’t deserve, but they didn’t care at all.. they just wanted the loan. The game would finish 2-1 with the referee calling 3 of Argentina’s goals offside. Har Kusari doesn’t understand what the offside rule is though, he isn’t a huge sports fanatic but even he was a little suspicious.
“So how about that loan?”
“Hmm. Fine, it’ll reach you by Tuesday.”
Wednesday comes around and the bribing begins, members were promised somewhere between half a million to millions of dollars of cash if they vote to let Raj host. They were against a joint hosting of Morocco and Algeria, staples of the sport in Africa. But thanks to the money, Raj would win with 57% of the voting. The RFA cheered, after all their efforts it finally paid off.
The World Cup is set to take place in the summer of 2078 with 19 host cities. Kolkata, Mumbai, Colombo, Chennai, Dhaka, Patna, Lucknow, New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Kathmandu, Kochi, Galle, Nagercoil, Thoothukudi, Coimbatore, Karwar, Surat and Pune.

Europe

France

The New French Republic which has formed under Luxembourg’s guidance however they are under attack from the Benelux League as is luxembourg. The New French Republic’s soldiers have been stopped from chasing enemy troops At Calais and encirclement is impossible due to the Benelux League reinforcements. And the New french Republic is beset by French Resistance fighters who have seized the initiative in this distraction of the Leagues bloody campaign. And now is dealing with large pockets of resistance cells in the regions of Aquitaine in the city of Bordeaux and surrounding areas , and Normandie in the cities of Caen and Rouen and surrounding areas as well as in Luxembourgian annexed land in Bourgogne in the city of Lyon and surrounding areas which has caused moderate trouble for the Luxembourgians attempts to liberate Luxembourg Proper. As well as heavy resistance in Paris.

The French Republic is unable to send more soldiers to the front as it is working to quell the resistance.

Luxembourg

Luxembourg Proper has been captured by the Benelux League and is now under occupation of them.

Austria

The ALF has made few gains in their campaign in Styria and the front has slowed to a Grinding halt. Meanwhile the Prussians and their allies not wanting to go back to Prussia given the dire situation there of the rise of another reich have renamed themselves to the Austrian Nationalist Militia. Since the change they have advanced and taken the region of Salzburg fully as well as Tyrol. Things look dire for the ALF in Western Austria.

Czechia

In Czechia the last former Prussian Troops have been destroyed and Czechia now turns its attention too making its own free government With Elections.As well as forming a proper Military.

Poland

In a surprising turn of events as the former Prussian garrison around and in the city of Lodz handed over the city too the Kingdom of Poland. The Kingdom of Poland also gained ground against the Anarchists and took the remainder of their territory. A majority of the PRA in that area has been imprisoned so that they cannot fight against the Kingdom of Poland. Fighting against the PFA continues to be a stalemate with the PLA and Kingdom of Poland gaining no ground against the PFA.

Scandinavia

A new force calling themselves the Democratic Norweigian Force (DNF) Rose up along the coast and Oslo, however the SLF was quick too retake Oslo and began to bottle them up with the help of the Kingdom of Norway who up to this point hadn’t shown its hand in the war. At Sea the Norweigian fleet blockaded the Estrellmaa colony at Svalbard. While the Kingdom of Sweden who also had yet to show their hand used stealth submarines to sink several Estrellmaa military vessels who wouldn’t know they were there until they had been hit. These submarines were Gotland II class submarines which had been built by the Prussians but were now being used by the Royal Swedish Navy. Like their predecessors the Gotland class they were undetectable though no one knew why this was perhaps it was something to do with their engines no one knew. There were two wolf packs and over the month they hit the Estrellmaa fleet hard as well as smuggled weapons too the Resistance in Denmark. The Combined SLF and Comintern Forces in a daring attack managed to retake Copenhaggen and part of the surrounding area letting the waiting twenty five thousand SLF soldiers and their prussian tanks and vehicles to cross The Øresund into Copenhagen allowing them to catch the Estrellmaans off guard and begin to retake Copenhagen and the north east of the island to retake coastal defences which they then used on passing Estrellmaa Vessels. From the SLF airfields air forces engaged Estrellmaa fighters over Denmark.

The Estrellmaa foolishly attempted to make a landing against the coastal defences that the SLF had. It appeared that they had underestimated the Strength of the SLF as the forces that the Estrellmaa found themselves running into mines that had been placed in the water by the SLF when the Estrellmaa weren’t hitting them. They also were hit by coastal missile defences which were protected by SAM’s and AA guns with automated tracking. AGM’s and shells hammered the Estrellmaa to no end it seemed. From the inlets where the SLF ships found safety from the Estrllma ships emerged and ran down the landing ships with Visby Class Corvettes. An hour later two Corvette Squadrons bearing the Kingdom of Sweden’s flag came into the mix from another inlet successfully ambushing the Estrellmaa escort ships hammering them with their guns and Anti ship missiles. Anti air equipment kept the ships and other units covered. This was a disastrous landing for the Estrellmaa and they would lose many men and equipment.

On the Ground the Kingdom of Sweden moved forces to aid the SLF and bolstered the defenses even more. The battle might have gone differently had the SLF been on their own for now SLF land remained unconquered and the Estrellmaa were losing ground in Denmark as each day passed.

The Estrellma had a real problem on their hands and had learned the hard way not to underestimate their enemies.


Hungary

In Hungary not much had changed the resistance remained underground well hidden still waiting for the opportune moment to strike.




Africa

Algeria

The Alliance between the Free Algerian Army and New Byzantium broke suddenly resulting in a splitting of forces as the Islamic State the Previous month had taken land helf by the Free Algerian army the previous month. The two leaders left on unfriendly terms and in the later half of April neither New Byzantium nor the Free Algerian army had gained any ground. Meanwhile the Islamic state had gained much territory thanks in part too funding from a third party which they used to buy weapons on the Black market which arrived in Algiers on the 16th of April which brings several T-80’s and T-55’s and several other Former PRO weapons and other weapons too the Islamic State thanks to the Black Markets. With these new weapons they expanded further east in a massive push. Crushing the Free Algerian Army under tire and tracks.

The BNA has been silent as of late and not much has happened on their end of land; they attempted a night raid on New Byzantium lands however it failed spectacularly forcing them to retreat into the desert once again. The Prussians meanwhile have been picked up by another Prussian unit and arrived in Egypt near the end of the month leaving a power vacuum in the area which no one has yet filled or taken notice of the other factions.

Libya

Neither the Free Libyan army and the FMLA have moved much seemingly watching the situation in Algeria meanwhile the TDF has launched an attack against the LNA after the LNA attempted to cross the TDF’s border but were turned back by the TDF who pursued swiftly taking heavy casualties but by the end of the month had taken alot of ground.

[Quako]

Ongoing tensions in France continue to rise as Luxembourg has not only occupied a majority of the land, but also has established a puppet government in the region. The citizens of Catalonia fear for their fellow Catalans in the region residing in France. The Catalonian government decided to make the decision of secretly supplying not just the Catalonians of France but also the basque region. This would be so they’d have a chance at defending themselves against a possible Luxembourg puppeting. Soldiers were given the task of establishing temporary supply lines and delivering goods such as canned food, ammo, bottled water, guns, sandbags and explosives to secret locations on the border of Catalonia and the puppet government, in which the Catalonians and Basque revolutionaries will take. And whilst that goes on underground tunnels are being built to easily deliver goods deeper into the regions. The Catalonian president has decided not to make it a public matter for a number of reasons, but of course not to anger Luxembourg who would surely not react kindly to the whole operation. But there was serious debate within the government to give up on the revolutionaries.
“We’re not giving up just yet Thiago.. they are fighting for what they believe in. How’s that any different than what we’ve done?”
Leonardo:“The difference is we’re not occupied by a power hungry nation who was limited due to Prussia but now because of the col-“
Thiago Firpo:“Leonardo. Breathe. You’re panicking way too much and it’s not good for you. Look at you, your hair has already gone gray.”
Fabiana:“Plus we don’t know whether or not they’re actually hungry for power”
Leonardo:“Oh come on Fabiana.. really? Look how fast they’ve grown! They’ve spent what seems to be their whole damn budget on weapons and military!”
Andres: “He’s right. They’ve spent all this time cooped up like a chicken when Prussia was around and now that he’s gone there’s no country that really cares to stop his growth until now.”
Thiago: “Look, I've kept this a secret from the public because I didn’t want to risk the Luxembourgian government taking action against our nation, but there’s no reason to panic yet. For all they know the Catalonians and Basques are uniting together to combat them.”
Andres: “And they’re not going to question the sudden increase in quality of their guns and ammo?! You’re bloody joking”
Fabiana: “Jesus, I'm going to go out for a smoke. But before I leave I must say this we must not give up on them. They survive, they unite with us. They don’t survive, we may get a slap on the wrist.”
Andres: “A slap on the wrist? A slap- Christ I always knew blondes were dumb but you really believe we’ll get a slap on the wrist for trying to get revolutionaries to rebel against a war mongering tyrant?”
Thiago: “Fabiana, go for your smoke break”
Leonardo: “All I am saying, are the risks really worth the reward?”
Thiago: “Yes. Extremely worth it. I will stand by my beliefs until proven otherwise.”
Andres: “They really chose this imbecile to lead our country”
Thiago: “Alright. You’re not in charge around these parts so I command you to leave right now. I know damn well what I’m doing. I hired you to advise me not to bloody attack me for doing something you don’t like.”
Leonardo: “That’s in our job description boss”
The room was empty other than Thiago Firpo left lost in his thoughts. Could they be right? Is he really endangering his people for a couple cities who are a lost cause? Whatever he’s doing he will continue it however. He can’t let his own people down in the dirt and dust without at least extending a helping hand.

[Nova Luxembourg Imperium]

48.093107, -10.348454. 4th Armada.

The Quebec fleet was on the way. Cruisers and Destroyers had been given the green light to move to the next sector by submarines having patrolled this last area. The next day, they would enter the channel. The hammer of the navy would be able to bring some reinforcements that Luxembourg needed. The Fleet was composed of 3 Armadas, each with 5 attack groups. An attack squad either has 1 aircraft carrier strike group or 2 strike groups. A strike group is made of 1 helicopter carrier that acts as the fleet HQ or in some cases an electronic warfare cruiser. Escorted by 4 guided missile cruisers that act as its anti missile grid, 6 attack destroyers and 3 minelayers ships. 3 anti-submarine ships and 2 submarines.
Some submarine groups act independently from the main group. These are known as Wolf packs as they use stealth and numbers in battles.


Aircraft carrier Eternal

Missile cruiser

Minelayer corvette/anti submarine corvette.

The fleet in action is limited, however. Due to recent wars the numbers have dwindled, and the 4th fleet is now composed of 2 armadas, 4 attack groups each and in all has 3 aircraft carrier groups and 5 strike groups.though they do have the support of some numerous supply convoys bringing troops and resources into the war in europe.





Meanwhile on the main Superstructure of the Eternal Aircraft carrier, part of the 1st strike group, the admiral and the chief engineer overview the test of the missile bays. A new drone developed in Quebec would be used to assure communications since some areas were down by the EMP.
- How does this work again? Questions the Admiral looking at the deck swarming with engineers.
- So the cruise missile in the missile bay right now launches itself at high altitude. It is fitted with cruise missile propulsion. Once at the right altitude the drone is let go and it starts it's path. Using quantum keys to relay information in perfect security, it can transmit comms from one area to another.
- A mini satellite basically.
- Yes, except it lands back to the ground once it's done. Stealth, we are also working on militarizing it but that's not done yet.
- Good. launch should be in 3 minutes.
- Indeed. Replies the Chief engineer as he walks to the consoles.
The admiral walks back to the main strategy room already filled with officials debating on the best course of action when entering the channel.
- So, what's the plan? He asks.
- Sir, we have come up with two plans. We all agree that once we arrive at the french coast we must divide. Perform two missions for each section. One of them will hunt and destroy all ships passing by that are marked hostile while the other makes landings into Calais to break through the siege.replies one of them.
- And the other one? Asks again the Admiral
- Well, some of us think here that submarines should perform the search on their own, instead of dividing the force while one focuses entirely on the landings. What's your command Admiral?
- I think we should exploit the element of surprise to its fullest. We need to land in Calais. Then we leave them to break the siege with support from planes. Submarines should yes clear the sector but either it is done quickly to confuse them for the longest time possible. Once the sea is cleared, I've got my orders. We go directly for the netherlands.
- A landing in their homeland? Sir, with all due respect, thats a bogus idea and is suicide! Asks one of the commanders in astonishment.
- Not if we knock out all their communications first. I’ve just received a message from the SACL. They have sent equipment for us to perform a knock off of their own communications and computer networks. Replies the admiral.
- Why us? Asks another.
- It only works at close range. Using the newly acquired drone we now have, we will adapt it with the quantum disruptor. A few drones will have them in case they get shot down even with stealth tech. He continues.
- And then? Asks a colonel.
- And then we land near the town of Kijkduin. We need to pressure them to surrender once we hold their HQ. then it will help the forces regain France and maybe force them to capitulate.
- Sir there is still the problem of air superiority.
- Normally the AA defenses of our ships protect us and the Quantum disruptor will act as an EMP. disabling their lines. If that doesnt work we will have to be content with the navalized L-23s and the fireflies. Their AA defenses will be knocked out by the EMP.
- Sir, the missile is about to launch. Says a sergeant entering the room.
- On my way. Replies the admiral ready to observe the show.






50.672513, 1.067812, 23 meters under sea level. Submarine Redoutable II.
- Commander, sonar has detected 3 cruisers at 7 clicks from here. They are active and hostile.
- Mark them as targets 57 to 59. Replis the Commander of the Redoutable II. his submarine has been lurking the waters of the Channel for a few days now and the lack of targets was not a problem. 53 sunk ships and none escaped. Prepare the torpedo chambers!
- yes sir!
As the three target came to view the commander gives the order:
- Tubes 2, 3 and 4. Fire!
The 3 torpedoes race towards the targets. They hit the hulls breaking the ships in two.
- Sonar confirms, all hits. I repeat all the hits.
- Move to the next sector, we need this clear for the main force to pursue.
- yes sir!
- Order an active ping. Don't want any surprises, do we? Orders the commander.
- On it Sir. replies the radio commander as he gives out the order to the sonar room.
- Sir we have another ping coming at 4 clicks from here. It's a sub! Ordering class it seems. We’ve been spotted!
- Target 60, prepare the counter measures, it's going to fire! Exclaims the commander.
Indeed, the sonar lights up with 3 smaller pings each corresponding to a light torpedo.
- Deploying! Screams the radio chief.
The submarine hurls the counter measures just in time for them to go of course from their targets.
- Immediate counter riposte, tubes 1 and 2 fire! Orders the commander.
- Tubes 1 and 2 firing! Replies the chief.
- both miss! The voice comes back a few seconds later.
- Fire again! Tubes 3 and 4! These guys are no rookies!
- Both miss again!
- Reload tubes and prepare another round of countermeasures. Call the other subs for back up!
- No subs in the area though 3 helicopters on the way. They’ll be here in 30 minutes, overwise we are on our own.
- Shit, another 2 torpedoes! Deploy counter measure aga- a massive wreaking sound hits the hulls.
- Have we been hit? Asks the commander.
- Negative sir, it was a close one but the torpedoes went of course!
- torpedoes ready?
- Affirmative!
- Fire them one at a time, 10 seconds in between. They won't be able to deploy that many at once.
- Yes sir! Torpedoes out!
30 seconds of antagonizing silence in between each familiar thump of the torpedoes exiting the tubes. Finally, in a voice of relief, the radio pirks up.
- 2 hits! It's down, commander!
The sounds of cheers fill the ship as the sonar goes silent once again.
- Sir, we’ve just got orders to surface. We need to launch the drones we received!
- Copy that. Tell them we are on it now.
- they also say to activate the Ares protocole.
- I know what it is. Launch the missiles and enter these coordinates...






A few days before the submarine events. Calais shore.
An explosion rocks the hovercraft. Soldiers waver as the ship rocks. The missile pads on the Walrus launch volleys of covering fire at the enemy trying to stop the landings.

Deployed from a carrier not far off the coast, the waves of Walruses unpack tanks and soldiers to assault the siege. The element of surprise is total. The sea’s have been cleared by the submarines and the enemy navy in the channel has been forces to retreat.
Yet the battle at Calais had just begun. The forces landing there had been under heavy fire. Despite the element of surprise, the enemy was still well entrenched. Overhead Fireflies dueled with enemy fighters. The struggle was real but if they could gain time they would be able to let the landings happen and the helicopters to provide support. The most terrifying moments for the soldiers was when the ramps were lowered. They storm the beaches as their ancestors did in Normandy so many years back…
Gunships pound the enemy forces back into oblivion. The bunker buster rockets pierce enemy fortifications into ruins. The landings continue throughout the hour as the troops move forward. Soon enough a beachhead is put up and the sector is clear. The Benelux weren't expecting a sea assault so they didn't fortify the coast heavily. APC’s would rush around the city and its attackers to give some breathing space for troops inside the complex itself. The tanks support the advance by shelling the enemies to hell with their massive cannons and 50 cals blazing. The soldiers use all the cover they can to navigate the streets and ambush enemy forces. The forces in the city attempted a breakthrough and eventually rejoined the main force outside.
The objective was to connect the city to the rest of the frontline to push back the Benelux. Soon enough as the surroundings of the city clear the forces in the city get out, regroup with forces and push east to Luxembourg and liberate the homeland.
Meanwhile in the oceans the main force was moving forward. The ships had their own landers ready and the missiles in the whole fleet had target primed.
- Fire at these coordinates, 52.094960, 4.355802. Arm the missiles and prepare the drones.
The sea lights up with submarines across the channel and attack groups firing the drones at their targets. As soon as the missiles hit the altitude, the fleet moves to its final destination.
Meanwhile, back in France, the front line was at a stalemate. The forces had not moved since the victory at Paris where resistance from the LFA was still present. Generals had received communication about Calais. They had orders now to force the passage and connect with Calais, splitting the forces of Benelux east and west. Once the west was isolated, forces at Calais marched east and the forces that had performed the break marched west to exterminate.
So it would be. For 3 day and 3 nights Luxembourg sent barrage after barrage onto the designated grid zone. The tanks started their ascent north. Wotan armor was thick and could resist a shell from a tank without much damage. Soon enough the force reached Amiens, but heavy casualties put lots of pressure on the morale and the force could not continue west as they had to wait reserves. Yet the operation worked, with hundreds of tons of bombs dropping on the enemy camps and millions of shells piercing the enemy hulls. The force was split but the question was, how long would they hold? Entrenchment was necessary to resist until reserves arrived. Tanks set up and soon enough they were dug in. a long trench war was to begin...
Back in the sea the drones had been deployed and the last stage of the operation was underway. The quantum disruptor sent out high frequency waves that knocked out electronics without exception. Land base trojan horse viruses went to attack more deeply in the enemies systems. The enemy was now blind and without the capability to respond to threats.

Land base trojan horse viruses went to attack more deeply in the enemies systems. The enemy was now blind and without the capability to respond to threats.

The war was this so far: around 9k men were still active and fighting on Benelux forces while 12 k men were on the Luxembourgish side.

Shore of zandfoort. 2324 hours.
The attack having been deviated more north, the attack was composed by 8k men in the carriers with their vehicles and weapons. 2k parachuting by the VTOLL near the capital supported by barrages from bombards in the sea, close air support, and even some bombers.
The hovercraft rolled out to the beach and as they landed made it to the sidewalk before being met by the enemy. A police force tried to slow the advance but a squad of amphibious tanks knocked them out. Civilians cower in the homes as tanks power through cars and streets. Yet the resistance would come up on them fast and brutally. The garrisons in Amsterdam immediately put their troops to fight against the invasion.
The emp hit them hard and swiftly with coms being down the city was already half occupied the time the army came. They push back Lux a bit but in the end Luxembourg pushes back. A tug of war where every tug meant men had to die. Tanks blow up in the streets, helicopters pummel troops in parks that burn down, buildings crumble and civilians flee. Some helicopters fly exceptionally low into the streets with their chaingun rattling and puncturing cars below.
As the city became a battlefield , south west of Calais the troops stuck by the encirclement had 2 options. Surrender or die.
However for the Benelux factions they had to either accept annexation completely or face a harsher destiny. Their fate was in their hands...

- I think we should exploit the element of surprise to its fullest. We need to land in Calais. Then we leave them to break the siege with support from planes. Submarines should yes clear the sector but either it is done quickly to confuse them for the longest time possible. Once the sea is cleared, I've got my orders. We go directly for the netherlands.
- A landing in their homeland? Sir, with all due respect, thats a bogus idea and is suicide! Asks one of the commanders in astonishment.
- Not if we knock out all their communications first. I’ve just received a message from the SACL. They have sent equipment for us to perform a knock off of their own communications and computer networks. Replies the admiral.
- Why us? Asks another.
- It only works at close range. Using the newly acquired drone we now have, we will adapt it with the quantum disruptor. A few drones will have them in case they get shot down even with stealth tech. He continues.
- And then? Asks a colonel.
- And then we land near the town of Kijkduin. We need to pressure them to surrender once we hold their HQ. then it will help the forces regain France and maybe force them to capitulate.
- Sir there is still the problem of air superiority.
- Normally the AA defenses of our ships protect us and the Quantum disruptor will act as an EMP. disabling their lines. If that doesnt work we will have to be content with the navalized L-23s and the fireflies. Their AA defenses will be knocked out by the EMP.
- Sir, the missile is about to launch. Says a sergeant entering the room.
- On my way. Replies the admiral ready to observe the show.






50.672513, 1.067812, 23 meters under sea level. Submarine Redoutable II.
- Commander, sonar has detected 3 cruisers at 7 clicks from here. They are active and hostile.
- Mark them as targets 57 to 59. Replis the Commander of the Redoutable II. his submarine has been lurking the waters of the Channel for a few days now and the lack of targets was not a problem. 53 sunk ships and none escaped. Prepare the torpedo chambers!
- yes sir!
As the three target came to view the commander gives the order:
- Tubes 2, 3 and 4. Fire!
The 3 torpedoes race towards the targets. They hit the hulls breaking the ships in two.
- Sonar confirms, all hits. I repeat all the hits.
- Move to the next sector, we need this clear for the main force to pursue.
- yes sir!
- Order an active ping. Don't want any surprises, do we? Orders the commander.
- On it Sir. replies the radio commander as he gives out the order to the sonar room.
- Sir we have another ping coming at 4 clicks from here. It's a sub! Ordering class it seems. We’ve been spotted!
- Target 60, prepare the counter measures, it's going to fire! Exclaims the commander.
Indeed, the sonar lights up with 3 smaller pings each corresponding to a light torpedo.
- Deploying! Screams the radio chief.
The submarine hurls the counter measures just in time for them to go of course from their targets.
- Immediate counter riposte, tubes 1 and 2 fire! Orders the commander.
- Tubes 1 and 2 firing! Replies the chief.
- both miss! The voice comes back a few seconds later.
- Fire again! Tubes 3 and 4! These guys are no rookies!
- Both miss again!
- Reload tubes and prepare another round of countermeasures. Call the other subs for back up!
- No subs in the area though 3 helicopters on the way. They’ll be here in 30 minutes, overwise we are on our own.
- Shit, another 2 torpedoes! Deploy counter measure aga- a massive wreaking sound hits the hulls.
- Have we been hit? Asks the commander.
- Negative sir, it was a close one but the torpedoes went of course!
- torpedoes ready?
- Affirmative!
- Fire them one at a time, 10 seconds in between. They won't be able to deploy that many at once.
- Yes sir! Torpedoes out!
30 seconds of antagonizing silence in between each familiar thump of the torpedoes exiting the tubes. Finally, in a voice of relief, the radio pirks up.
- 2 hits! It's down, commander!
The sounds of cheers fill the ship as the sonar goes silent once again.
- Sir, we’ve just got orders to surface. We need to launch the drones we received!
- Copy that. Tell them we are on it now.
- they also say to activate the Ares protocole.
- I know what it is. Launch the missiles and enter these coordinates...






A few days before the submarine events. Calais shore.
An explosion rocks the hovercraft. Soldiers waver as the ship rocks. The missile pads on the Walrus launch volleys of covering fire at the enemy trying to stop the landings.
(Image)
Deployed from a carrier not far off the coast, the waves of Walruses unpack tanks and soldiers to assault the siege. The element of surprise is total. The sea’s have been cleared by the submarines and the enemy navy in the channel has been forces to retreat.
Yet the battle at Calais had just begun. The forces landing there had been under heavy fire. Despite the element of surprise, the enemy was still well entrenched. Overhead Fireflies dueled with enemy fighters. The struggle was real but if they could gain time they would be able to let the landings happen and the helicopters to provide support. The most terrifying moments for the soldiers was when the ramps were lowered. They storm the beaches as their ancestors did in Normandy so many years back…
Gunships pound the enemy forces back into oblivion. The bunker buster rockets pierce enemy fortifications into ruins. The landings continue throughout the hour as the troops move forward. Soon enough a beachhead is put up and the sector is clear. The Benelux weren't expecting a sea assault so they didn't fortify the coast heavily. APC’s would rush around the city and its attackers to give some breathing space for troops inside the complex itself. The tanks support the advance by shelling the enemies to hell with their massive cannons and 50 cals blazing. The soldiers use all the cover they can to navigate the streets and ambush enemy forces. The forces in the city attempted a breakthrough and eventually rejoined the main force outside.
The objective was to connect the city to the rest of the frontline to push back the Benelux. Soon enough as the surroundings of the city clear the forces in the city get out, regroup with forces and push east to Luxembourg and liberate the homeland.
Meanwhile in the oceans the main force was moving forward. The ships had their own landers ready and the missiles in the whole fleet had target primed.
- Fire at these coordinates, 52.094960, 4.355802. Arm the missiles and prepare the drones.
The sea lights up with submarines across the channel and attack groups firing the drones at their targets. As soon as the missiles hit the altitude, the fleet moves to its final destination.
Meanwhile, back in France, the front line was at a stalemate. The forces had not moved since the victory at Paris where resistance from the LFA was still present. Generals had received communication about Calais. They had orders now to force the passage and connect with Calais, splitting the forces of Benelux east and west. Once the west was isolated, forces at Calais marched east and the forces that had performed the break marched west to exterminate.
So it would be. For 3 day and 3 nights Luxembourg sent barrage after barrage onto the designated grid zone. The tanks started their ascent north. Wotan armor was thick and could resist a shell from a tank without much damage. Soon enough the force reached Amiens, but heavy casualties put lots of pressure on the morale and the force could not continue west as they had to wait reserves. Yet the operation worked, with hundreds of tons of bombs dropping on the enemy camps and millions of shells piercing the enemy hulls. The force was split but the question was, how long would they hold? Entrenchment was necessary to resist until reserves arrived. Tanks set up and soon enough they were dug in. a long trench war was to begin...
Back in the sea the drones had been deployed and the last stage of the operation was underway. The quantum disruptor sent out high frequency waves that knocked out electronics without exception. Land base trojan horse viruses went to attack more deeply in the enemies systems. The enemy was now blind and without the capability to respond to threats.

Back in the sea the drones had been deployed and the last stage of the operation was underway. The quantum disruptor sent out high frequency waves that knocked out electronics without exception. Land base trojan horse viruses went to attack more deeply in the enemies systems. The enemy was now blind and without the capability to respond to threats.

The war was this so far: around 9k men were still active and fighting on Benelux forces while 12 k men were on the Luxembourgish side.

Shore of zandfoort. 2324 hours.
The attack having been deviated more north, the attack was composed by 8k men in the carriers with their vehicles and weapons. 2k parachuting by the VTOLL near the capital supported by barrages from bombards in the sea, close air support, and even some bombers.
The hovercraft rolled out to the beach and as they landed made it to the sidewalk before being met by the enemy. A police force tried to slow the advance but a squad of amphibious tanks knocked them out. Civilians cower in the homes as tanks power through cars and streets. Yet the resistance would come up on them fast and brutally. The garrisons in Amsterdam immediately put their troops to fight against the invasion.
The emp hit them hard and swiftly with coms being down the city was already half occupied the time the army came. They push back Lux a bit but in the end Luxembourg pushes back. A tug of war where every tug meant men had to die. Tanks blow up in the streets, helicopters pummel troops in parks that burn down, buildings crumble and civilians flee. Some helicopters fly exceptionally low into the streets with their chaingun rattling and puncturing cars below.
As the city became a battlefield , south west of Calais the troops stuck by the encirclement had 2 options. Surrender or die.
However for the Benelux factions they had to either accept annexation completely or face a harsher destiny. Their fate was in their hands...

One Last Bow Part 1: Cales

General Bronner who was in charge of the operation in Cales looked out over the battle of Cales unfolding before him..they were outnumbered and outgunned though the odds were slightly out of favor by four thousand men the old General took a seat and looked too the radio. He was an old veteran of many wars in the past years and this was his most exhilarating. Unlike the young Officers of the officer corp, he knew when he had been had. A thought crossed his mind to die to a man fire and glory and all of that, but that niggling thought of living was still there even though he was sixty-three. And so after three hours of the heavy street to street fighting the order was given and the forces encircled surrendered around and in Cales.

When brought to the French and Luxembourgian commanders General Bronner handed over his sidearm and remarked. "That was a wonderful waltz we shall have to do it again sometime." He then chuckled and let the soldiers take him to a cell. When interviewed he admitted he did not allow his men to indulge in the massacring of the innocent and said. "It is butchery war is between soldiers, not their families and those they protect you have my gun so now you have my good Prussian men they will advance with you..and I will retire to a farm my duty done my medals won..the war is over for me...treat my men well..they will not fail you...though watch out for Generalleutnant Schlechter he leads the attack and occupation in Luxembourg Proper....he is cruel...and has likely shown little mercy or regard as I...he is also crafty...so watch out.."

The old General then waited for the end of the war.

One Last Bow Part II: Amsterdam the flood gates

The League had been caught off guard but fought bravely, though this was too buy time the garrison forces who were not police pressed into service were the elite former Prussian forces as well as those who had been conscripted two months prior. The Leaders were swiftly evacuated to Arnhem though the reason was not known as of yet. Their last bow would be far more different than that of General Bronner. the Netherlands was made on reclaimed land after all and it was this the Luxembourgians would learn a lesson from. The League would be sore losers.

Dyke Control center Amsterdam

"Command wants us to do what!" Shouted a private looking baffled at his sergeant. "What about the civilians!?"

"Open the dikes....other teams are placing explosives....and opening the others...now help me with this! now!" Ordered the sergeant as he pressed buttons and placed his hand on a leaver. The Private nodded. "Most of the Civies are being pulled back or loaded onto the ships in the docks...even that old wooden one at the navy museum...."

"Yes sir..." He then grabbed the second leaver and pulled down. "The Amsterdam will hold...I know it..."

"Good Sun now let's do this private they will not have the Netherlands! God save the House of Orange!" Were the last words of the sergeant before water surged in through the glass of the control room from up in other Dikes. The private and the sergeant were sucked out into the swirling mayhem outside.

In Amsterdam, the gates were targeted by their own tanks as the order was passed, The tanks then began to pull back as fast as possible while firing making it look like a retreat many got caught in the rising water and stalled. The amphibious vehicles were fine and drove on through. around the Netherlands dikes and other water control mechanisms opened and the flood began within the hour the water was up to the chests of personnel and the ground was impassable. Those who made it out or got onto wreckage being swept out toward the sea would look dazed. The League had used its greatest weapon geography. Within minutes Amsterdam was slammed by water and Benelux and Luxembourg soldiers were slammed together.

"They actually did it!" Remarked a private too the Luxembourg soldier he was slammed into as they struggled. "No fight!" the private screamed! I've pissed myself already! I like life!"

The cries of fright and surprise rose as the soldiers were swept out. Several cities were covered in water homes and businesses were flooded those that could get inside and up onto rooves or on higher floors. It was a climate and economic disaster for whoever would have too clean this up.



In Belgium

Belgium knew the end was coming and as such ordered forces too pull back and entrench themselves and not give a single inch for as long as possible. The order was heeded except for Generalleutnant Schlechter who refused to leave his post in Luxembourg City. The war was wrapping up it seemed but there was still much fighting to be had against those who still refused to believe it was over.

[Estrellmaa]

the terrible flood that hit the netherlands was a shock for the whole world, many soldiers and civilians died despite the fact that many were evacuated. the estrellmaa rescue boat was the first to arrive and brought the survivors to the shore and brought medical aid to camps on the coast, many survivors decided to join estrellmaa, notably some people wanted by the luxembourg government but also many families and people who dont want to live under the Luxembourg government.

[Estrellmaa]

The war with SLF was continue , the estrellmaa army after lose some battle in nothern danemark push them back with tank and a surge of air attack , after 1 week the rest of danemark was free . the governement of estrellmaa decide to stay in a defensive position and securise the way to svalbard by meet the leader of the norwegian rebellion in Pila for negotiate a non aggression pact , after several hour of discussion the norwegian accepted , in exchange of some supplie they will stop attack estrellmaa . for the monarchist and the scandinavian estrellmaa decide to play defensivly , and to do the plan rose gard who consist of protecting all the coast of estrellmaa and bombing every enemy ship and every attack do by the ennemy , the naval force will be placed in such a way that no enemy ship can reach a Estelian territory with anything . of course this defensive paln can only work for at least 3 month , but estrellmaa know that a white storm will attack from the north …….

[Sosej]

Sosej controls Hungary, but after the war there is lot to stabilize in the nation. Underground movements formed of what was left of the nationalists and the People's Liberation Army. They worked together to corrupt and sabotage the Soseji rule over Hungary. Seems like they are unhappy of what the new ruler is doing. Hungarians were under Prussian rule for years and didn't live in the best circumstances. The collapsing of the large nation meant a possibility of freedom. Then came the thing that caused much bitterness amongst these radical movements: the Soseji came and took the freedom from them. Or so they thought. Being part of Sosej isn't that bad. People get and have the freedom. The freedom of speech and opinions, freedom of business and trade, political freedom.

Sosej doesn't need to beat the movements by fighting. Let's make them see that life is enjoyable in Sosej. This project is going to go by the name Project Magyar. Sosej will make reforms and lots of building projects to increase the welfare of the Soseji.

[Nova Luxembourg Imperium]

As the forces in Netherlands march south to Belgium after Netherlands capitulated, Luxembourg has an offer for Belgium. if they capitulate now, they will have less restrictions than Netherlands and will have an area to where they will have a semi autonomous government. do otherwise will result in total annexation.
as for the general in Luxembourg till fighting the forces they too have an offer. all troops will be liberated with no imprisonment and the general will be free of trial. do otherwise will result in consequences.

Generalleutnant Schlechter

Headquarters at Casemates du Bock


The Generalleutnant upon hearing the message broke into laughter for a few seconds before taking hold of the radio and responding to the Luxembourgians who had been waiting for their response. His officers all silently exchanged looks and nodded all solemn in their agreement.

"It has been a pleasure, gentlemen I will see you all on the other side." He then pressed the button on the radio. "Then let me ask you, if your god would allow my madness too flourish here. Then wouldn't it seem to you that any god like that would be just as mad as I?" The radio then cut out and he turned to his officers. "To your stations, we have pesky guests in need of attention, I will not lie too you this will be a fight to the death..we are low on ammo..and have no air support..but this will be the last hurrah of Prussia..we are true Prussians unlike those who have joined the new Reich..When we have run out of bullets we will use out knives, fists and teeth."

From the outskirts, the Luxembourgians would see the Prussian flag raise over Casemates du Bock, once the advancing Luxembourgians were in range they let loose with the artillery they still had left. SPA rolled down the streets fired and then moved on firing from different positions using shoot and scoot tactics supported by SPAA and SPSAM to keep them covered from air attack. When the airpower came into play the sky was alight with SAM's, flak, and bullets. The coms were full of positions being overrun and the streets for four hours were filled with gunfire the civilians the General had kept in the other surrounding castles to keep them safe and had gone through the effort of marking them as civilian with flags and paint on the rooftops so that the damnable Luxanbourgians wouldn't hit them. These were the places that had the thickest anti-air equipment. He might have been a monster when the invasion had begun and during the initial month of occupation but he still had an ounce of sanity in his head. Into the night the last Prussian Corp fought until the gunfire fell silent.



Many did not share their commander's view and surrendered as the Luxembourgians got closer to Du Bock, As the castle was taken the Generalleutnant's own staff rebelled and took him at gunpoint and handed him over in the hopes of receiving a less harsh sentence.



Fires burned in the streets now but they would likely be out by morning if fought, at the end 10,000 including the Generalleutnant were captured and several more wounded or dead. This would be to date one of the bloodiest conflicts in Europe thus far in this new age of instability.

Belgium

Belgium took the deal tired of fighting and low on supplies and morale when the order to attack was given the soldiers angled their weapons and fired into the air once to signify their surrender they then threw their weapons to the ground and raised their hands in surrender.

The war had lasted two months but it was the bloodiest two months any of them had seen for a long time. The Belgian people-focused now on rebuilding a future for themselves while in the Netherlands they turned their attention to the massive flooding unleashed by their king. protests erupted outside of the King's home and he was dragged from his hiding hole and hung from a lamp post before the Luxembourgians swept through the area. The water was still there and the only rose due too the sea tides came in and out with the damage done to the dikes and other flood control mechanisms. Many who survived began to take boats out and aid the Luxembourgians in looking for survivors or go to their ships and ask for supplies in this humanitarian crisis





When the final civilian tally came in and was still growing and was sitting at around six hundred thousand people, the Netherlands flood contributing greatly to that tally and six thousand in Luxembourg, and France having ten thousand dead and wounded. Soldier casualties for the League and Luxembourg were estimated to be around eleven thousand dead or wounded. Either way, war is terrible in any light. With the humanitarian crisis and refugee, it was likely the tally would go up. As well as refugee count which would need to be distributed among nations willing to help.

[Estrellmaa]

After one month of try to break the rose gard scandinavian and monarchist did not see a solution to break the defense of estrellmaa, the blow of their attempt had already been very heavy and the two sides were both very tired and damaged in the war and there was always the risk of an attack by PRO , estrellmaa also had been tired by the war and wished its end as quickly as possible and agreed to meet the Swedish and Scandinavian leaders has Gdansk, the peace treaty could have been much heavier for the Scandinavian and the Swedes, estrellmaa only required that the Swedish and scaninave fleet belong to estrellmaa, as well as a 2 year non-aggression pact, however the rose gard would remain effective but would have a lot less soldiers.

[Nova Luxembourg Imperium]

Victory day in Luxembourg

After the final capitulation of Belgium and the reclaiming of Luxembourg, the two nations finished complete and unconditional annexation by Luxembourg, this marks another step in building a united and solid Luxembourgish state in the north of Europe. From the Mediterranean to the north sea and the channel, the nation is still in need of repairing. The benelux nations have had extensive damage not only from the war but also the flooding s initiated by the forces of Benelux. The mainland itself is heavily damaged from bombings and the battles.
The population is uncertain of its destiny as many flee the flooding s east. This first problem is finished with the government imminently proposing help and aid to homeless citizens. This works in part as reluctant Benelux populations return to the state yet not all have faith. They are to be proven otherwise, says the government officials. We wish for a secure and prosperous return of the Benelux states. We will rebuild from the ashes and hope for a new future.
But now is also a time for celebration of the victory. In Rome, Bern, and what is left of Paris and Luxembourg city. Population in joy look with impatience and excitement their TV’s for the speech of the Grand Duke in Rome. The war is over, the time for rebuild has commenced.

Rome, 1600 hours.

In the palace of the Duke in Rome, the people look up at the balcony. Juts behind that door in a couple minutes, the person they have all been waiting will emerge.
Behind that door that same person was looking over his speech, hoping to memorizing it too its fullest.
- you’ll be fine, comforts his wife. You’ve trained weeks for this moment.
- Time i should have spent doing on the war, he says.
- Dont feel guilty now. We won. You did all you could and now your role as victor and architect of the reconstruction begins.
- Listenting to you makes me wish you were doing the speech, He smiles.
She smiles back, kisses him on the cheek and pushes him to the door. Putting down the papers, looks up and opens the door. The crowd chants “ Mir wëllen den Hezog!” We want the duke!
He thinks of the moment his great grandfather listened to the words at the VE day of britain, with the crowd chanting the similar phrase that day of may over 100 years ago. He steps up and the crowd’s applause were heard across the city.
- My compatriots!... he begins. The speech of his life has begun. A day the people on the streets will remember forever. A story the people in the crowd will tell to their kids and grandkids.
- My compatriots! A new age begins, one of prosperity and glory for the state you helped build and defend!
The crowd cheers again. The people act as one, silencing itself as soon as he raises his hands.
- We have defeated the biggest threat to our nation we have ever met, and it will not be the last one. Hurdles will be thrown at our path, but with our effort we will jump over them. This day however is not a day for forseeing the future. This day is for celebration! Wave your flags! Meet your family you have left behind to serve your nation! You have defended the nation and lost friends and family on the way. Yet you have survived and the people, and myself, will be forever grateful. We will rebuild the city the demons have burnt down! This is a message of trust, to those who have faced torments in our lands or in the lands of the enemy. Yet I wish for the happiness of the entirety of the world! We will rebuild Amsterdam, Luxembourg and Paris. We will be the architects of our own destiny!
The crowd roars once again. Over head Atalo and Loïc fly in head with their L-55’s followed by planes that have made this victory possible.
- One hell of a view, dont you think? Says Atalo as he iniates the drop of the colored chemical that outline the trail his jet has passed through.
- Indeed, this will be something I wont forget soon. Chuckles Loïc as he does the same.
The crowd bend their necks and observe the colours of the nation be drawn by the planes passing over head.
Back on the ground the tanks not damaged by fighting lift their barrels to the sky as observing themselves the show put onto the skies. The Parade goes down the streets until stopping behind the palace. In the distance the 101 guns fire blanks into the distance. The explosions of victory reach across the region signalling the end of the war. The flags are put down too commemorate the dead.

As the Duke says, the reconstruction begins with immediate effect. In Paris and cities not completely razed from battles scaffolding is put up. The government starts easing of the defense spendings to fund construction and rebuilding.
Some cities however are so damaged rebuilding them to their previous state is near impossible. These includes the cities of Luxembourg and Amsterdam, one bombed to oblivion and the other destroyed by a hurricane of water. So, the goverment takes call to a new design. Architects of renowned reputation participate in a competition to how rebuild these cities. Amsterdam architects are the only one allowed to participate in the competition for amsterdam though Luxembourg officials decide the final design on cost and habitability among other things.

An example of future designs
Luxembourg monuments were proposed to be renovating with a modern design. Relics and other things were to be keeped in their orignal state but for example the Pont Adolf is rebuilt with a modern Viaduc de millau style. Some parts of the city are even rebuilt completly with roads, metros, and buildings over seeing a completly new design. Modern type builds with greenery and beautifle facades. In Amsterdam floating city designs are proposed that can easily ajust from the sea level while attempts to preserve certain builds fully or partially flooded.

the first design for Luxembourg skyline

The military spending's were going down but that does not mean it was being demilitarized. The regiments not to hit were rushed to borders to prevent any attack aimed at the nation.
Ports in the north were being built to assure naval defense in the channel and north sea now that Luxembourg gained access to it. Trade routes being built back up and the slow rebuild of the economy becomes a priority. Forces are also put back into Quebec to make sure the area remains guarded and resources crucial to rebuilding are sent to the homeland.
The war also meant the creation of new agencies to prevent problems in the war. The LUXCYBERCOM agency was officially formed to prevent attacks on infrastructure and hacking offensively or defensively, and also to put communications back up for civil use.
The French legions were kept and the Benelux armed force was created for regional defense.
The LIGI (Luxembougish Intelligence Gathering Initiative) was created to guarantee a better defensive shield against spies and offensive ops for intelligence and reconnaissance.
And so much more. The nation was rebuilding and soon enough would reach new hieghts.

The Final Attempt

The few remaining Des Genes Biens and Royal rebels meet up to discuss their future actions. "We have to stop. Too many people have died and we have gotten nowhere." James Sighed. "We are the only four who remain. Emeric is in prison for life, Annika is in a coma, Leela died from her gunshot wound and Ryker was trampled to death. I think James is right." Grieved Gladys. "NO, that's what they want." Shouts Esme. "But we have no chance, what are we going to do. An IT guy, a scientist, a pensioner and you Esme, you're the only one with any chance." Lamented Steiner."Well i'm going to fight to the end where you do or not." Declares Esme.

Four days later the four rebels enter important government buildings. James goes to the high court, Esme goes to the head of the armed forces, Gladys goes to the Oba's office and Steiner goes to the parliament. They take guns out of their bags and start shooting all the employees and guards in the building. The first to get stopped is Steiner who killed 15 of the 16 NETMA members of parliament and all 5 Comrades Party members of parliament. He was stabbed to death by the remaining NETMA politician. Steiner's last words were "We will destroy your regime.".

James enters the high court to kill all of the high court judges. He enters each of their offices killing each high judges office and shoots them. He was spotted by guards before he could kill the last two judges. James was shot by guards and left to bleed out on the floor. James last words were "We are Righteous.".

Esme entered the HQ for the armed forces with the intent of killing the head of the armed forces Commander Lyon but decided at the last minute to blow up the building. Esme strapped the bomb to her chest and entered the building and waited in the Head of the armed forces office which was at the centre of the building. when Lyon entered his office Esme set off the bomb. Her last words are not known as everyone in the building died when the bomb exploded.

Gladys entered Oba Diallo's office with the intent of murdering him and his closest advisor Sanaa Okeke. Gladys was able to approach them both and killed Oba Diallo but Okeke called for the guards and had Gladys shot before she could kill Okeke. Gladys' last words were "You should have died too.".

The events of that day became one for the history books.The two high judges, the politician and Okeke later became known as the Righteous Four. The day became known as the Righteous day and is celebrated by citizens nationwide every year. The Righteous Four became very influential in the government and have taken the place of the Oba. Their varying positions in the government means they have an impact everywhere. Judge Aida Khan, Judge Adjo Mensah, MP Riyu Fernandes and Senior Advisor Sanaa Okeke became national heroes and had statues of them put up in every major city in Chadda Lakos. The Parliament has lost many of the powers it gained over the past years and has become more of a symbol. The Righteous Four now Run the nation with an Iron Fist.

[The Nerf Principality]

It’s the middle of June and the Rajian World Cup has kicked off. Fans from all over the world have traveled to Raj with the hopes that their nation will do them proud and go deep into the competition. In the first group, the hosts face tough competition, their commiunist comrade, Latin America, has been paired up with them along with Luxembourg. Kusari will hope that his investment towards the RFA will pay off. Raj will first face off against Latin America and Luxembourg will hope to get 3 points against South Africa. Raj hopes that only love and sportsmanship will be shown in the match against Latin America, they are allies after all. But the same cannot be said against Luxembourg. Luxembourg has had to fight against Communist and socialist militias ever since the collapse of Prussia, and the Democratic Socialist Republic of Catalonia has been secretly supplying the Catalonian and basque regions of France. Hopefully this will only be a thought and doesn’t actually occur in the match. South Africa may shock the world by pulling some results together, who knows, but on the political stage South Africa doesn’t have any affiliation with the 3 nations and doesn’t make for good headlines.

The other groups aren’t particularly special and frankly I don’t know much about the relations of every single nation, so I’m just going to skip them because I’m the one writing the post.

As the whistle blows, and the fans and tourists cheer, the players are in action and are more than willing to die on the pitch just to garner a point or three.

Latin America 4-1 Raj,
Luxembourg 3-2 South Afric
Raj 3-1 South Africa
Latin America 2-1 Luxembourg
Raj 1-0 Luxembourg
Latin America 2-0 South Africa



An embarrassment for Raj in their first match, worst of all with their dear president watching from the stands with clear dissatisfaction in his face. Latin America pull off an easy win against Raj scoring 4 past the goalkeeper. The Latin American fans hadn’t hesitated to celebrate the ginormous win against the hosts and hope to see more results like that to see themselves through an easy path towards the final.
A close affair between Luxembourg and South Africa, it had seemed that the South Africans would pull something off after leading 2-1 at halftime, but maybe the manager had put the fear of god into the Luxembourgian players because they would score 2 goals to see themselves gather 3 points. However with a first half performance like that from the South Africans, maybe there is hope for the team to get out of the group.
Raj faced off against South Africa hoping to improve on their first match, hopefully it was only a fluke. The South African fans will hope for another spectacular performance from the players that they had seen in the first half against Luxembourg. However Raj would defeat the South Africans with relative ease, a 3-1 scoreline sees them get 3 points, and it is seeming more likely that South Africa will not go any further in the tournament.
Latin America and Luxembourg play each other next. Banter was traded between players and fans on social media, Luxembourg claiming that the Latin Americans would be too high to play after celebrating their win while the Latin Americans told Luxembourg that they should pipe down as they’ve only beaten South Africa. No matter however, that is all placed outside the field as Latin America scores twice and leaves Luxembourg with a compensation goal in the 86th minute. Latin America has set their path to the knockout stages in stone with a whopping 6 points.
An important match, Raj vs Luxembourg is to see who will go second in the group. Luxembourg will fight for a win whilst the Rajians only need a draw, and would go through on goal difference. However that didn’t stop the Rajians from scoring early on in the second half. At the 47th minute, the Luxembourg fans knew that goal may have been their fate. And their fate it was, the match finished 1-0 to Raj, the home fans celebrated and cheered their hearts out and some fans crying cheers of joy would be caught on camera. The Rajian players celebrated together. They actually did it, they will hope to get deep into the tournament to do their fans proud.
Latin America didn’t care much for this match, they went through either way no matter the result. That didn’t stop them from scoring twice though. They win the match with a simple 2-0 result.

UFA 0-0 Persia
Livonis 3-2 Argentina
UFA 2-2 Livonis
Argentina 4-3 Persia
UFA 1-2 Argentina
Persia 1-2 Livonis

A goalless draw between Persia and UFA, the nations should’ve hoped for a win to gain 3 points but they must now settle for 1 point each.
Argentina, a footballing powerhouse, they’ve had many legendary players wear the white and blue. Maradonna, Dybala, Sergio Aguero, Messi, Di Steffano, Zanetti, etc. They are no team to sleep on. But Livonis would pull off a win against the Argentinians and leave the Argentinian fans contemplating on whether or not they may actually go through or not. Maybe those legendary days were behind them.
UFA would once again draw and would have to be forced to split the points. Livonis, who had seemed high and mighty after their win against Argentina, would be slightly humbled with this result.
Argentina would get 3 points against Persia in a tough match in which the win could’ve gone either way, but the Argentinian captain would score in the dying minutes of the game to get the win for the nation.
Argentina and UFA were both hoping for a win to see themselves through the group. However there can only be one winner. If it ties there’s a small chance neither of them go through, and if UFA wins.. you get the point. Argentina would score twice in the first half and would be mostly silent on the goal scoring front in the second half. UFA would score in the 72nd minute and maybe would hope for another 2 goals. But in the end Argentina got the 3 points.
Livonis, who had been the dark horse of the group, would expect a win against Persia who had not won a single game yet. And a win they would get, a 1-2 loss for Persia would see them finish bottom of the group.

Assassination

The President of the French Republic Alexandre Bocuse was walking through the ruins of Paris comforting those who had stayed unaware that he was in danger. On the remains of the top floors unseen individuals went silently through the bombed out ruins the President was touring on the south side of the city since the north was too badly damaged from the Battle of Paris to tour and go through.

“Pier he’s almost too you.” Said a voice into a radio as they watched through the window.

“Shit...shit!” Said another voice in front of the one on the radio as the soldier that they had ambushed slammed a young man into a wall and was about to shout before the one with the radio wrapped the cord around his throat and stabbed him through the eye. “Th-thanks Nina….”

The woman with the radio nodded and unwound the cord and then got back on.

“I see him in my scope. He won't be there long...lotta activity...oh merde!” Pier shouted before the radio went to static.

“Pier!...Pier!” Shouted Nina and then threw the radio away. “Merde!” Nina unslung the rifle from her shoulder and took aim. “Gotta do this myself...where are you…”

Nina found their mark through the window and took a deep breath as she switched off the safety and then the shot echoed out from the old rifle. Nina didn’t and couldn’t wait to see if she’d got him she’d likely hear on the news they had to go now she knew. In the back of her mind she wondered what had happened to Pier but figured it was best to keep her thoughts clear. She and the man with her ran into the ruins of an alley and the sound of a distant ambulance could be heard. They had at least hit him; they could see if he was dead later.

Later That Night

“In today's news president Bocuse was assassinated today by and unknown gunman, a suspected accomplice was apprehended by soldiers on patrol in the area however we are unsure as too the apprehended status at this moment we will release more as news becomes available.” On the screen it showed a picture of Pier, Nina sighed and turned off the tv and went back to the front of her bar and put on her people face. Pouring drinks for soldiers of both Luxembourg and French Republic troops.

On the old grand piano was the one she’d been working with during the operation. Though they had won the taste still left a bitter taste in her mouth though she would not tell the soldiers and people gathered that she had too keep up her appearances after all.

Poland

In Poland it had been quiet oddly even in the occupied territories and in fact the kingdom of Poland and the PLA were talking of peace as were the PFA with the annexation of the north it was clear that they were all in danger of losing their nation to another. They met in Lodz to discuss unifying poland under a new government; it would likely take months of negotiations too wrap up but at the end it seemed that a united Poland would once more become a reality.

Hungary

Though there was the promise of rebellion the Hungarian Resistance movement settled down after it was determined that they did not have the manpower or resources to continue or fight an uphill resistance battle.

Scandinavia

In Scandinavia there was also talk of uniting under the monarchies once more as free independent nations despite Denmark being conquered by the Baltics the powers agreed that the PRO was the bigger threat in all of this as troops had been seen doing maneuvers on the border though the PRO vehemently denied that it was planning anything against the nation. That did not stop meetings of SLF and other factions in the war from coming to Stockholm to discuss the future of a united Sweden and Norway. There was however still the issue of the attempted landing of Estrelmans which also had the factions on edge despite there peace talks between the Baltic power. Things in Europe at least for now seemed to be settling.

Africa

The opposite of calming down was occuring in africa as war still raged north africa.

Algeria

The Free Algerian Army despite its best efforts that has capitulated and their territory has fallen to the Islamic state. Meanwhile the Berbers have taken more loses but have joined in a temporary alliance with New Byzantium to combat the Islamic state.

Libya

In Libya the three way truce has fallen apart and all the factions now fight each other and the TDF has taken more ground in the conflict now spanning to the medeterainian.

Egypt

In Egypt the conflict has escalated once again as a series of suicide bombings have happened in Alexandria and Cairo killing hundreds of Civilians and only a few personnel damaging improvements made by the PRO heavily.

In response the PRO has done a series of retaliatory strikes against Suez Concordat compounds nearest to the checkpoints which keep them bottled up.

[Ozerstine]

Mop Up Operation Part 1

After the suicide bombings in Cairo and Alexandria the PRO high command as well as the Egyptian Command which the PRO had been working with in this theater which was nammed the African Theater since it was completely seperatae from the Motherland. Many in Motherland questioned why the PRO had gotten involved in a foriegn affair however there was no denying the advantage the Suez provided as well as the material value of the nation. As well as the tactical advantages of the area especially with some individual nations which were in the area as well as providing an outlet from the Medeterainian though the fact that two nations took the pinch point in the Red sea was troubling as one would be over extended and the other was most likely hated by the muslim world like the PRO.

Rebuilding efforts in Egypt were continuing at an impressive rate thanks to the Construction technologies being used by the PRO in the present day. Many were being improved upon to be more energy and cost efficient. Tourists had been banned from Egypt for now since the Suez Concordat had ramped up attacks on patrols near the territory divisions as well as forces attempting to enter the mountains. In recent months elements of the 7th Guard Mountain Air Assault Division had been brought in to aid in the efforts to attack the Concordat forces in the mountains these elements being the 108th Guards Kuban Cossak Air Assault Regiment the 1141st Guards Artillery regiment, half of the 743rd Separate Guards Signal Battalion, half of the 185th Separate Military Transport Aviation Squadron. As well as half of the 3995th Military Hospital. They arrived two months ago and alongside the Egyptian Southern Military Region and its forces began the Mountain campaign. Meanwhile elements of the 10th army alongside the full strength of the Egyptian 2nd army rolled south along the sixty five toward Hurghada.

In the Skies the repaired planes of the Egyptian Air Forces from the Airbases at Beni Sueif and Aswan Airbases provided air support for both the Mountain fighting and the push south.

At sea the Egyptian Medeterainian fleet as well as a squadron of PRO Lider Class Destroyers as well as two Project 20386 corvettes. Their goal was to engage the Suez Concordat’s naval elements from the north while from the south undetected by the Rajans the Pretorixians the 23rd Attack submarine squadron which was led by a Slovak class Submarine as well as having two Saltanova cruise missile submarines in the squadron these submarines had been enroute for well over a month and had slipped past the patrols undetected and now laid in wait. On the surface the Concordats leaders had intercepted the transmissions about the ships going through the Suez and had moved to intercept however they were too late as the task force of ships began to bear down on them. The submarines rose too missile launch depth and opened their launch doors while the Attackers of the squadron moved on the enemy subs detected by the ships detection systems.

The Liders launched hypersonic anti ship missiles out against the enemy ships and in a matter of minutes they had sunk or heavily damaged the Concordats ships under the surface the Saltanovas had fired their cruise missiles at military targets on land and then moved to aid the attack submarines in their search and destroy mission. The Slovak classes fired their cruise cruise missiles at targets and then moved to help mop up what hadn’t surrendered to the Task force.

On the Ground the advance was going well on the 65 as the day ended much ground had been taken. Along with the city of Ras Ghareb. The fighting in the mountains however was still heavy though for now the PRO held Sea, and Air dominance.

[Sosej]

Troops retaining the stability are finally starting to return from Hungary as the rebellions and revolts have calmed down. Their relatives and loved ones are happy to see them again after many months.

Construction workers are seen working all day on building new buildings in Hungary, Turkey, Cyprus and Malta. The National Assembly has had a lot of decisions to make lately.

One of the biggest talking points is the school reform. The education ministry and the National Assembly have decided to upgrade the education system in Hungary and Turkey to the same as in the rest of Sosej. The House of Representatives of Cyprus has also passed the legislation on the school reform. Children will attend free primary school from the age 5-6 (school year starts in August so if the birthday is after that then 5 years old) for nine years. After that it can be chosen to go to either vocational school or high school for four years.

Another new thing introduced to the Hungarians, Turkish, Cypriots and Maltese are free public libraries. Sosej keeps the tradition of physical books available to borrow from the libraries for a certain amount of time. E-books are popular, but it is nice to see how people still like to read books made out of leather and paper.

Extensions for hospitals are being constructed at the time. Healthcare is one of the continuous focuses of Sosej. As technology evolves, the health of the people can be supported more.

All of this has cost some froshes for the government, but the future's looking bright as the economy keeps improving.

Meetings of Peace

[url=mood music]https://youtu.be/4Yc_82Jlq1s[/url]

During the conference between the Scandinavian nations the PRO sent a diplomat to the conference on the behest of an old contact. In the years before the Prussians had taken over Sweden the PRO and Sweden had been good allies. The Contact in question was the former Queen and so the PRO sent the diplomat as requested by their old friend. The meetings had been going on for nearly four months and indeed the Pan Scandinavians had agreed to unite under their former nations of Norway and Sweden though they were not in the least pleased by Denmark falling into non Scandinavian hands at the hands of the Estrellma.

“It is a pity that a member of the Union took this action...It will be rectified soon as possible...we will just have to apply the right pressures to the honorary Slav….” Assured the PRO diplomat. “We do not wish conflict with you...it was most regrettable that they did try too land in your beautiful capital but My president assures you that such actions will not happen again and you will not have to worry for your safety.”

“I thank you for this assurance...if I may ask what does the PRO intend to do?” Asked the Swedish Queen Victoria Gustaf of Sweden

“Leave that to us in the meantime the PRO would like to extend our hand of protection to you and yours as well as establish trade...and a potential alliance and restore the status quo..” Answered the Diplomat looking at an old woman who though old was still in good health.

“And what of Norway?” Asked King Haakon of Norway looking from his side of the table.

“We would likewise wish to extend the same to you as well..” Assured the Diplomat looking too the one hundred four old man who was also old but still in very good health.

The two royals looked to each other and nodded before Victoria spoke again. “And what of our lost island of Gotland…”

“It will be dealt with as well My queen.” Assured the Diplomat once more. “In fact the first stages might very well be under way…”

Estrellmaan Cargo Ship in the Baltic
Two G-10B’s on naval patrol from PRON-2 spotted an estrelman cargo ship most likely bound for Estrellmaan homeland.

“Want to have some fun?” Asked the lead pilot motioning down to the cargo ship below them while looking at his screen at a message he had received from Command too afrim what it said

“Eh why not…” Responded his wingman.

The Two jets flew swiftly down from their high altitude position too just above the water leveling with the upper levels of cargo and flying low over them as if making an attack run and pulling dangerous maneuvers around the ship passing over six times before making for their high altitude again and back toward the Carrier which was miles from the area.

Border Games



The PRO announced that it would be conducting combat drills close to the PRO Estrellmaa border in order to train in case of conflict against the Germans or another power attempted to attack their ally, the drills would comprised of Air, Ground and Naval Elements. The Drills would begin on the tenth of September and continue through too the twenty third of the month. And would comprise of the 6th Army and the 20th Guards Army as well as several Airborne Units for the ground element of the drills. As well as Naval Infantry and Coast Defense forces.



Pictures from the drills

As dawn arose along the border on land and sea the fields in front of the border erupted in live fire the road into the PRO and Estrellmaa was closed for the drills but there were detours that road traffic could take as well as sea traffic. In the sky PRO fighters did maneuvers for ground strike and danced in elaborate maneuvers as they fought each other. The explosions could be heard for miles around as well as the plumes of smoke from incendiary charges set in the targets of old tanks and other vehicles. Artillery practiced shoot and scoot while infantry maneuvered with vehicles and practiced landing. Especially near Kaliningrad where the 1st and 2nd Coastal Jaeger Companies made landfall as part of their drills as well as practicing maneuvers in the inlets of Finland.

At sea cruise missiles were fired at targets marked or radioed in from ground units. Making their second debut was the Bovarina which had a company of their own called the 1st Iron Man Guard Squadron which comprised of both Bovarina, Uran 9’s, Milos 1’s, as well as an improved version of the Fedor combat robot. which were fully autonomous with the usual PRO manual backups. In the air recon drones flew dodging around the fighters dancing around them. Drone strikes blew through a column of drone BTR’s which had been programmed to a specific route.

It wasn’t clear what the PRO was attempting to do with these maneuvers but one thing was sure the PRO forces were a lively bunch.

[Nova Luxembourg Imperium]

After the assasination of the French president and resistance groups forming around the nation, Luxembourg needs to act fast and swiftly.

Briefing room, Paris. 1800 hours.
- Jean, what's the situation? Asks Albert, a commander in the french legion.
- After the assasination a week ago the rebels are gaining momentum. They are gaining troops, materials, and so on of equipment and such. I’ve called in the Luxembourg armed forces for help, we can't do this alone.
- Ok. Our drones have spotted a major outpost of their forces, but our troops are busy protecting Lyon from the enemy resistance.
- We also need better passive protection. We need more helicopters.
- Why do you think i called Luxembourg? They already know about the outpost and are going to give us better protection.
- Perfect. Let's get into position.
The two men start walking out of the room and preparing the assault.
The Outpost was suspected to be the base of the assassins. L-22s will strike with bunker buster rockets and pierce their defenses. Troops will surround the area and capture anyone who tries to escape. Heavy armored tanks will cover the Commandos who will clean up the area in heavy armor and shields. We will use flash and smoke to deter them. These rebels will be finished.
- Talking about rebels, I have ordered maximum protection of all positions. They are now marked as terrorists by high command.We are going to protect VIP’s with Commando units. Roofs and houses on their path are to be checked and double checked.
Good. let's move in.
The men walk outside, go into the APC waiting for them and move in.

Rebel Outpost, 0200 hours.
- Jean, ta des nouvelles du group de Romain? Jean, do you have news of Romain’s group?
- Non, ils ont dû être capturé, No they might have been captured.
During the conversation they are stopped by the familiar sound of gunships and planes outside, the lights flicker.
- Guards, Allez voir ce qui se passe! Guards, go see what is happening!
Suddenly another sound is heard. A whistling.
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
- TOUS A COU- Exclaims one of the guards before the entire room shakes again, with a ear breaking boom being heard around the base.
That was the first of the 6 attack runs performed by the L-22s of the day. A LB-130 gunship with triple chemically assisted Vulcan guns pepper the ground.



On the gunship the gunner crews in the plane perform strafing runs, angling the plane so the guns face the ground lightly. The Vulcan’s turrets rip apart defending forces as it rips apart vehicles. The on board cannon fires 130 mm shells that are designed to rip apart tank hulls.
The first of the Tanks reach the perimeter and, followed by APCs, seize one of the three entrances to the base. The commando crew jump out of the vehicles and use breaching charges to blow up the 50 centimeter door. As soon as it goes open, the forces inside with their guns pointed out the doors see 3 objects entering the room.
- Eh ben merde alo- Says one of them realizing that the objects are grenades. The flashbangs blind them and the gunshots from Vector rifles run straight through the flesh of the terrorists.
- Clear! Says one of the Commando’s as he scans the room.
- Move to the next room. We need to get the leader’s alive for trial.
- Yes sir!
They continue down the stairs as they slowly but surely meet weaker and weaker resistance. The bunker was an old Prussian bunker designed for protecting the land. It is now used to plan attacks on Luxembourgish VIPS. Not anymore though.
- Last room right ahead according to the plan!
The black helmets of the troops show AR info on the sector. Using a mini heli drone, it flies right past the final defenses and shows all positions of the defenders. Now, on the helmets, the Positions of the enemy are displayed in flashing red lights.
- 3,2,1 , smoke out!

Another round of smoke enters the room and the soldiers turn on their heat signature mode. Through the smoke silhouettes light up and the safety is out of.
The flashes of gunfire show the bodies dropping to the floor taking out the last leaders. They are brought out of the bunker, lightly wounded but alive. They will live in a heavily secured prison for the rest of their lives. Terrorists fleeing the area are caught by the soldiers surrounding the base and helicopters scan the forests for enemy positions. One after another, the bastions of the resistance are located and exterminated.
