The Capilean Embassy complex in Berlin
Ambassador Thomas von Stromberg sat behind his eloquently carved desk on the top floor of the Capilean Embassy in Berlin. The Duchy's offices resided in a sleek modern building near the center of the Reich's capital, rising to rival the shorter skyscrapers of the sprawling metropolis. Traditional architecture may have dominated Capilean representation in other minor countries, but here, where Capile had to come off as a modern superpower, only the most modern designs would do. With the riots and reported Civil War in Columbia, the crush of work had shifted from Thomas' shoulders and onto those of the Capilean ambassador to Columbia, one Heinrich van Winkle. As such, von Stromberg was enjoying a rather lot of free time, and today he was lounging his comfortable office chair with a book. It was a Capilean publication written by some Fatherland Fanatic, full of mindless rhetoric barely concealed by a hollow plot. That was about the best literature you could get in Nova Capile, what with the censors trashing all the manuscripts with even a hint of support for anything the state considered degenerate.
Thomas was confined to this dull work as it was the only thing he'd had on hand; usually the Ambassador was overburdened with the many political exchanges between the Reich and the Duchy. He had just turned the page when the elevator to his office slid open with a simple "ding." Quickly the Ambassador shut his hardcover and shoved it into a drawer. A young man walked in; "Freiherr!" he said in greeting, nodding curtly. Freiherr was a minor title of the nobility; due to the prevalence of the aristocracy in Reich administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had correctly assumed that having a nobleman, however small his title, in this position would have a positive influence on relations with the Fatherland. "What is it, Günter?" von Stromberg asked, addressing his secretary. "We have received an urgent message from the German Foreign Ministry, asking you to meet with the Foreign Minister to discuss the recent happenings in Columbia." Thomas reached out to accept a slip of paper and skimmed it. He had assumed that the German officials would at some point meet with him to discuss the raging battle in North America.
"There is also some news which I believe you would like to hear," Günter continued, pulling up a chair in front of Thomas' desk. "A rogue group of cruise missiles struck the German territory of Greenland, causing a few injuries and deaths, and generally spreading chaos through the region. It is believed that this will provoke the Reich into action of some form in the Columbian conflict." Von Stromberg stood up, pondering such a random event. It seemed strange for missiles to have been wandering that far up, in the Northern Plains of Canada where there was little to nothing of strategic value. It was most likely a staged event to force German hands. The last thing Columbia, or any Columbians, would want was intervention by Germania. Canadian nationalists were unlikely to have access to such high-caliber weapons. A staged event by the Germans themselves? The secretary's eyes were following him, asking him to divulge all he knew and thought. Günter was as curious as he was. "Send a message to the Ministry at once, our Ministry that is. Ask them our official stance on the conflict, and then send one to the Germans, telling them I will make haste to their offices."
Günter nodded. "At once, Freiherr." Thomas walked over to the glass wall, looking down on the bustling city of Berlin while he straightened his suit and fixed his hair. This would be a most interesting affair.
The limousine carrying Ambassador Thomas von Stromberg stopped abruptly before the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and hastily the forty-seven-year-old man hopped out. Nearly running up the marble steps of the building, Thomas took care to hold his briefcase tight. Some very important papers were in there. He pushed the glass door open and stepped into the lobby. Classical music instantly lulled him into passivity as he examined the broad, splendorous room. Though he had visited this place many times before, it never ceased to impress him. Large paintings by contemporary German artists decorated the walls, and pairs of comfortable chairs stood huddled together, as if they were trying to preserve warmth. He walked up to the young secretary. She smiled up at him, and von Stromberg returned the polite gesture. Setting his briefcase down beside him, the Ambassador pulled his credentials out of his pocket; he hoped she would recognize him and wave off the time-wasting procedure. "Freiherr Thomas von Stromberg, here to see the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

The fighter
A lone Capilean fighter jet descended from the clouds as the Columbian Palace Complex came into view. It's pilot expertly guided his craft downwards, grinning as he noticed the bewilderment the besiegers expressed as a jet had managed to evade their air blockades. The fighter glided smoothly to the ground, coming to a rest on the black tarmac airstrip its pilot had been promised. After a minute, during which a delegation of Columbian officers appeared, the hatch popped open and a man exited. He removed his helmet and placed it back inside the fighter, revealing a young face with chiseled Nordic features, twinkling blue eyes, and tousled blond hair. His flight suit had been modified to bear the ranks of a Capilean air force Colonel-General; ivory eppulates with a large copper star and crown. He extended a gloved hand forward to shake with the Columbian officer. "Colonel-General Max Riesch, here to take the place of Field Marshal Walther Nemetz and Ambassador Heinrich van Winkle. I will be serving as the liaison between Nova Capile and your Monarchist faction."
Pacific Ocean
A formidable flotilla of Capilean warships hurried through the clear waters of the Pacific, ordered to secure the Columbian Battle Fleet before it could fall into Communist hands. Elite elements of the Marine Korps had been shunted onto the transport ships of this large fleet, and were ready to take place in hand to hand fighting. The main concern was not if the Communists defended the ships, but if they either managed to destroy or cripple them or get them to a secure harbor before the Capileans arrived. This was a heavily armed strike force with a large air complement, and the main "liberation" force was still far from being mobilized. Field Marshal Nemetz, while a dashing figure, was not a master of logistics or organization, and as such senior members of the OKR had to be called in in order to sort out the mass amounts of men and material being mobilized and sent to Capilean ports. Indeed, many doubted as to whether Nemetz, newly promoted to Field Marshal for his spectacular victories against Swedish forces, could effectively command millions of men in multiple theatres, as would be required of such a commander. Favoritism played a key part in the appointment of generals and officials, and Walther Nemetz' personal connections with not only the Grand Duke but also many other high-ranking people most likely played a major role in his new promotion.
Nevertheless, the Capilean forces were going to Columbia, and they would be commanded by this man. Whether he could keep the position was yet to be seen. As for now the crews and marine complements of the strike force focused on their current goal: "liberating" the impressive array of battleships and carriers in San Francisco Bay and safely escorting them back home for future operations against the enemy.

New United States of Columbia wrote:San Fransisco Bay
The Capilean attack took everyone by surprise. Communist, Anarchist, Neutral-everyone.
Air Raid sirens wailed into the city streets as the fighters launched their attack. Everyone fled to the basements of their homes, apartments, hotels, anywhere. Some even got so desperate they tried to get to the city sewers in the hopes that they'd provide some protection. It was to no avail. Strafing runs took lives of many communist or anarchists fighters but also of the innocent. Fathers, mothers, children all cut to pieces. Then came the hellstorm-the napalm. Fires raged incessantly as the 2nd Great Division took many government employees. The fires spread out of control. Landmarks, centers of learning, everything was taken by it's insatiable hunger. For many days and nights the fires of San Fransisco would burn even when the Capileans landed ashore.
Unfortunately it would cost them more than just a propaganda victory for the Communists...
San Diego International Airport
Trainer listened to the radio as the various "commanders" of the troops stationed in San Fransisco pleaded for help before being cut short by the attack. His eyes were glued to a Radiation King TV set that his staff had brought up. Footage of the attacks were being beamed internationally. EVERYONE would see it: German, Loyalist, Mushrooming, Aravean, Fascist, everyone. Trainer wasn't a religious man but if he had been he'd be on his knees in prayer. He quickly radioed every aircraft, grounded or in the air, to try and coverage on San Fransisco so they could get rid of the Capileans air power. After he did that he radioed Torino what had just happened. When he finished he put the receiver back in it's place and watched the attack on San Fransisco. He wondered if this would unite the factions, divide them further, or just add fuel to an already hellish fire. He hoped it would be the first of the three.
Imperial Palace, Omaha
The officers that greeted the Capilean pilot weren't in a jolly mood. Already the fight for Omaha was deteriorating to Battle of Berlin or Stalingrad levels of brutality. Artillery, heavy or light, pounded the streets and raging fires light up the night sky. Several stray rifle shots whizzed by as the greeting party hit the asphalt before grabbing the Capilean and practically dragging him to the safety of the Palace.
They hurriedly lead him to the War Room after he was checked by over-zealous guards. Gladium fixed his eyes on the stranger. He had yet to see the footage but if he had he'd have shot him then and there. Titus gave a hopeful look to him.
"Where the hell have you all been?" The recently crowned High King demanded "We've been trying to reach Wilhelm all day and most of tonight. Do you know if either side's set up jammers?"
Unknown Location
The two CIB (Central Intelligence Bureau agents dragged the German man through the winding chrome halls of Foley's Compound. As they did so the man muttered threats on their lives and their country in his native tongue.
"Shut up!" One of the agents hissed as he slammed a fist into the man before dragging him further into the bowels of the underground complex. As they did so, however, he caught sight of something fearsome: a red eyed and scaled creature. The creature looked at him in surprise before it quickly turned and retreated into whatever room it was in.
After a half hour of dragging the man they got him to the interrogation room. They strapped him into a chair, placed some device on his head, and turned on several TVs of varying sizes around him and left the room, securing the large metal door in case he somehow escaped from the chair. They headed up to the observation room and began the interrogation.
"What is your name?" One of the CIB Agents asked.

Thomas smiled tightly and thanked the receptionist as he continued through the double doors and faced the aged Foreign Minister of Germany. Von Stromberg had known Jost, arguably one of the most powerful Reich ministers, since the signing of the Capilean-German Cooperation Pact. Afterwards he'd been assigned as the Duchy's ambassador to Germany, and had retained a close professional relationship with Jost ever since. "I am quite well, Außenminister. I hope the Kaiser has not been working you too hard!" Thomas said lightly. In truth, this man, despite his vulnerable age, was a workhorse for the Germany Ministry. Thomas shook the wrinkled hand of Arno Jost and then turned slightly to see a decorated man, slightly older than himself, in a military uniform. The man coughed slightly and the Außenminister remembered his presence. "Oh, yes, this is Generalmajor Erik Schtiëfer, from the Abwehr." It had been a long time since Thomas had met with a military man, and he had long forgotten protocol. He hoped a handshake was the proper gesture. "A pleasure to meet you, Generalmajor." He extended his hand for a firm shake.(Image)
Freiherr Thomas von Stromberg
Following the two men to the large desk, the Ambassador took his seat behind it and sat his briefcase on his lap. Jost shattered illusions of any further pleasantries by launching directly into a briefing. Thomas adopted a grim, serious face and settled in, his knuckles turning white as they grasped the corners of his briefcase. He looked from Jost to Schtiëfer as they took turns filling their guest in. Faux surprise when they revealed the attacks on Greenland, melancholy gloom upon hearing of the termination of the Abwher agents, and disdain when informed of the rogue factions rioting in Columbia. When they had finished Thomas took a deep breath before answering. "I am not a military man, but being the mouthpiece of the Grand Duchy in Germany I have also been given very sensitive government documents detailing my country's knowledge of the situation, as well as what we plan to do about it." He paused, soaking in both men's reactions. "Similarly, most of the Stoßschutz agents on assignment in North America were taken unaware by the sudden flare up in hostility. Most of them have been compromised. Under the direction of the Grand Duke, our Embassy staff, including our Ambassador, fled to a remote safe house in British Columbia.
"The Grand Duke and the Oberkommando des Reichsmilitär- our General's Staff, that is, have approved several war plans. The first is to send a task force to San Fransico Bay and seize the Columbian Battle Fleet anchored there. This is a powerful asset which we cannot allow to fall into the hands of revolutionaries. The second is to send relief forces to several locations across the West Coast, notably Baja California, the Panama Canal, Seattle, Vancouver, Sacramento, and Los Angelos. While I can most certainly understand your desire to stay out of armed conflict, our government is more prepared to aid our ally in the war. That brings us to Nova Capile's alignment in this conflict." Thomas cleared his throat. "I have been told that High King Foley is missing and presumed dead. As such we have already sent liaisons to Titus Foley, the claimant to the Columbian throne. Provided he accepts some terms with which to renew our alliance, we will set forth to aid his war effort as much as we possibly can. That said, I have been ordered to strive for Capilean-German Cooperation in the war in Columbia- particularly the battle for the skies and waters of North America."
San Francisco Bay
The roar of aircraft drowned out all other sounds in San Francisco. Families huddled in basements as air raid sirens blared. Then they came. Swarms of fighter-bombers painted with the Iron Cross, swooping down and dropping their deadly ordinance on the city. Their pilots, rabid in their dogmatic following of orders, had been instructed to bomb the entire city to hell, as it only contained Anarchist and Communist scum. Little did those fanatical airmen know that their explosives were landing upon innocent men, women, and children caught in the raging flames of war. Mercilessly fighters strafed streets, cutting down any unlucky Californian who had wandered out. Huge, lumbering bombers gutted entire buildings with their powerful weapons. And then there was the worst of all: those screeching aircraft straight from the bowels of hell, carrying lethal amounts of napalm . As their kindred wreaked havoc across the metropolis they flew low to the ground, opening up their bottom hatches and releasing their cargo. Sheets of napalm fell from the heavens, leaving behind rows of flaming houses. The insatiable fires spread, lapping at the doorsteps of all of San Francisco.(Image)
The Golden Gate Bridge collapses
In the dark blue waters of the Pacific, the crews of the Capilean fleet watched as the air wings, jubilant after their demolition of San Francisco, slowly reappeared, returning to their carriers. The Prinz Karl super-battleship carrier led them all, cutting through the waters like a gigantic skyscraper turned on its side and set into the ocean. Just her massive, gleaming guns towered above even the cruisers of the flotilla, eagerly awaiting their chance to prove themselves in battle. The sailors and marines too were impatiently waiting. It was almost sick to think of all these men, no, boys, waiting for their turn to be slaughtered like animals. Ahead the Golden Gate Bridge appeared, a beacon of American engineering and architecture.
Admiral Franz von Haupt smiled wickedly. He could not wait to let the guns of his flagship tear into that landmark. "Herr Admiral, all guns are loaded. The fleet is now in range of the shore," a junior officer said, snapping a quick salute. The commander's smile widened. "Excellent. Deploy landing craft, and give the order to fire at will." The man nodded and left, the heels of his boots clicking on the smooth metal floor. Franz glanced down, checking his pocket watch. "Exactly on time!" he exclaimed, grinning in triumph. Suddenly the ship was shaken to the core as its colossal guns let out their first volley. The admiral was deafened as the shells streaked out, literally tearing the shore to pieces. A few stray rounds flew past into the flaming ruins of San Francisco, demolishing whole city blocks.
Ears ringing, Franz watched with satisfaction as the Golden Gate Bridge was slammed by a new bombardment. It groaned, flailed, collapsed, and the beacon of the west was gone.
