That diversion was the naming of Senator Steven Armstrong of Hanover as the Deputy to the Governor General and Minister for the Provinces. Senator Viggo Hach, now the former Minister for the Provinces and now only a Senator, was speaking very angrily to Hyacinth Amagi on the phone. "Are you watching the news? That divisive SOB got my job, and I got sacked for stupid reasons. 'Appeal to the youth and to the people, I lack charisma', he's still second to Ryan in terms of public polls, and our party is just too spineless in the Senate. He's only getting good ratings because of the military operations in the Occupied Provinces. His "end the threat next door" campaign is going to rile up tensions even more. Damn this New Independence movement!" said Hach in his latest fit of anger.
"Yoko was also surprised that they made him a heartbeat away from the Governor-Generalship. But the GGNA can move ministers around and fire them personally." replied Hyacinth. "I wonder if they got Ryan in a snare of some kind. This kind of politics can only be done if there is blackmail involved. Damn, he's going to be coordinating with the provincial governments now, and I don't think Ryan can fire him unless something bad is going to be revealed. The Governor-Generalship is the most undemocratic position in our political system; deals have to be made so that the Crown can appoint someone palatable for most people. Ryan will have to resign if there is dirt on him--another corrupt politician produced from our "backroom" government. New Independence will gain more in the polls as the alternative to our 'ancient and backward system'.
"He won't become GG. Parliament and the Queen have good sense about that. I got to go, I'm in Salt Lake, visiting some local schools first. I was driven here when I got of the plane at Denver. I'll speak with you again at the joint house caucus later. Goodbye, Viggo." said Amagi. "All right. The local IJRG academy. Driver, can you take me there? Charlie, I want you to touch base with the local civilian administration on food and water, the necessities, for my report. Things got jumbled with scheduling, so we'll have to split up to cover ground. The sergeant here will be my assistant for the time being, but I will always miss your diligence and your presence." The sergeant quietly nodded yes. "Yes, of course, but please be safe. Who knows what those cadets might do. They are indoctrinated from day one once they get accepted into IJRG academy. They might try to hold you hostage if they do decide to do anything." said Charlie. "Well, if they do that, then they will simply be arrested, charged with kidnapping a government official, and sent to prison. Perhaps military prison given their training and knowledge."
They arrived at the academy. "Could you tell my husband that I am willing to make that dinner on Friday, when ever you get a chance? It's our 5th anniversary." asked Hyacinth. "Of course, you should spend some time in a place that is serene and relaxing, like that Italian place in Georgetown." replied Charlie "A great pick. Thank you. See you later, Charlie."
Meanwhile, Jun Ichida observed the car approach the academy. He heard that there was some one from Parliament making visits to these places for legislative inquiry. Perhaps this is her. He was hiding in an abandoned shop, using his high powered binoculars to observe those coming and going to the academy.
His target, Makabe Seijyurou, did enter the academy. Now, Jun was preparing the fly drone to observe inside the Academy. He got the feeling something strange was going on in there. The laptop said the drone was ready. He got on it and piloted the drone remotely to a cracked window in an old section of the academy; it was built around the time of the signing Treaty of San Francisco, the peace agreement that made the UBNA lose all of its provinces west of the Rockies, as well as the treaty that the Western Allies signed handing over all of their colonial possessions to Imperial Japan. The damn "liberators of Asia" committed various atrocities when occupying the Western Provinces, doing reprisals against civilians for resistance attacks and forcing imperial propaganda down the throats of everyone. He was born in Los Angeles, to Japanese North Americans. They were secretly working for some of the more nonviolent resistance groups against JPS rule. He and his family barely managed to escape to the rump portion of Phoenix Province when he was 10 years old, in the early 2000s. Now he was back to see the JPS get their asses kicked out permanently from the UBNA. "Let's see what you are doing in there." he said to himself as he piloted the fly drone to a ceiling fan, waiting for someone to walk by.
Solomon Islands jungle
After walking a couple miles, Yuuya found a stream to collect drinking water in his canteen. He took a long sip. "So crystal clear, and good too. It must not have gotten polluted yet." He looked up at the sky. He could hear artillery fire and the roars of machine guns in the distance. North American Marines against the IJA and the IJN Special Landing units. In the sky he saw the faint smoke trail of his target. He wanted to get that son of a bitch for shooting him down, and to stick it against the JPS. The CON was now on a level playing field against the JPS. But he then got a strange feeling that this war would be a long one. After resting for a minute, he got up and continued on his way. He heard and explosion, and it was close. "Maybe the pilot survived, and destroyed his mecha? Standard operating procedure, but now I know where you are now, you slippery bugger." He went in the direction that he turned his when he heard the explosion. 30 seconds later, he heard rifle fire really close. Some rounds hit a tree trunk near him. He took cover, poking his head out to scan, only to dodge incoming fire.
He donned his special goggles that looked like sunglasses, but were a tactical visor that provided night vision as well as thermal imaging for short periods of time. He poked his head out again. They were relatively useless in the jungle, with everything alive and giving off heat, but he did make out a silhouette running west to some boulders. He took aim and fired. The bullets made his target duck for cover. "Looks like we'll have to do CQB." As an Army man and a Gear runner, he was trained to fight as infantry as a last resort for combat. He took out his bayonet and put it on his AM MRS-5 rifle. He went prone and crawled to some overgrown plants. He then crouched behind a tree. He was 50 meters away from his target. But he then suddenly heard fast pats on the ground--the sound of running. He turned and was raising his rifle in his new direction, but the target shot first. He got grazed in his right thigh and upper right arm. He dropped his rifle and collapsed to the ground, yelling in pain. His target secured his weapons and looked down at him. Yuuya made out the form of a female of the person wearing this suit and helmet. He looked at her, still holding his wounds. "Well, what are you gonna do? Just stand there? You think you are intimidating? I am not afraid of you. Go ahead and do it." said Yuuya through clenched teeth.
Area 13
"Of course, of course." Ironside/The Psycho said to his handler. He already managed to get some access codes for some of the lower security level rooms from reading the mind of Tsukuyomi. Could come handy in a pinch. He needed to buy time long enough to get an audience with the Emperor, to win their trust. A little deception to save many in the future. When walking with Tsukuyomi, he casually met two Russian looking women. He picked up something special about them. They had a different color of aura than those who lack ESP abilities. Interesting. Perhaps they are used as spies? If so, they would be an indispensable asset. So, it is true that the USSR sent some of their Espers to the superpowers, except for Germany obviously. Perhaps from the same experimental unit that he was from. His handler mentioned Voss.
"Another defector, and a German? That is interesting. Erich Voss, you said? I am looking forward to meeting with him then." Will Codec be able to get through this expansive bunker? Perhaps. He wasn't worried about interception by the JPS, it was the most advanced form of communication in the world. Specially hidden satellites helped make globe-spanning connections, and without a trace. Though, he would have to be careful about how long he uses it. Timed right, he could make it look like random background noise if the JPS did detect signal but they could not de-crypt it.
Ironside entered his new quarters, and met his roommate. Tsukuyomi introduced him to Voss. "A pleasure. Captain Derek Ironside, North American Army."

Voss donned his uniform jacket, he would probably have to change that sooner or later so people could feel more comfortable around him. He made sure the tablet with all the Abwehr and KTI files he stole was safely secure in the secret pocket before turning to his new acquaintance. “Captain Ironside is it? General Erich Voss, formerly of the Abwehr, though I suppose my defection nullifies the rank. My reasonings being I had my disagreements in Germany with certain parties.” He said no more, unsure if he could trust this man. In his position at present he could hardly afford to be trusting, what with what was sure to be half the Abwehr and KSK out for his head. Especially if they ever found out he had stolen the cache of aforementioned files. After delving through it he had found a couple of items which caused genuine strategic concern to him. He hoped he would be able to speak to the Director about them.
He turned and bowed politely to Tsukuyomi with respect. “I was wondering if I could perhaps speak with the Director. I have fresh intelligence on upcoming German frontline weapons that may be concerning.” What concerned him most be that KTI and several other companies were about to field a whole generation of new weapons using Helium-3 as a base including several proposals for a drone War Frame and a new infantry shielding system. “I do believe it is urgent enough as to affect the larger war. Some of these weapons may be strong enough to push the European lines as far North as the Chinese border, if deployed soon and no counters prepared.”
KaizerTech International HQ, Frankfurt
Grand Duchy of Hesse, German Empire
European Community
KaizerTech International had, since the early 1960’s, been the forefront of Germany’s technological advancement both military and domestic. More than half of Germany’s most successful and renowned companies were connected to and, by extent, controlled by KTI. These included such famous firms as BMW, Rheinmetall, the Horten Group, etc. The company had shares in dozens of foreign corporations as well in both Europa and the Commonwealth as well as many of the world’s neutral nations. Its annual profits were in the trillions and with a war on those profits were sure to increase. KTI’s defense contractors catered not only to Germany and its European allies but also several Commonwealth nations. The success of the company had been so great as to propel its owners, the Kaizer family, into the ranks of the aristocracy. The family had been granted the title of Count and even had sway in most of the provincial parliaments in the German Empire’s constituent states.
What KTI specifically had a license to design and build for the German military were War Frames. Though the German military’s science division had designed all the War Frame models of Generations 1-6, KTI had manufactured them and then acquired the license to design them from 7th Generation onwards. KaizerTech also was one of the leading forces behind Germany’s drone warfare program. This was however a weapon of a different kind.
Right now, Albert Gottfried von Kaizer, CEO of KTI and Head of the House of Kaizer, was showing several members of the German General’s Staff through the design lab in the company headquarters in Frankfurt intent on one piece of weaponry in particular. As scientists bustled around them, the twenty-eight year old CEO and noble coached his guests along through the trip. They were all Colonel’s and Major’s serving on the General’s Staff, the bigshots were in Berlin, still in a bunker until such a time the terror threat passed. “Gentlemen, I think you will find yourselves most impressed, as will the members of the General’s Staff, by the achievement we have for you here today. This will truly revolutionize warfare. Even more than War Frames, TSF’s, or Gears have done so. We have come through to the next generation of automated warfare.” Finally they arrived at their destination.
Before them was a large testing area where a large mech unit was in place. It seemed to be a War Frame but was starkly different in appearance. War Frame’s tended to have an almost knightly aspect to their physical appearance, whereas this mech was certainly humanoid in appearance, but entirely smoothed out all over, no face, not even a viewport. It was also strikingly larger than most War Frame’s, had to be at least twenty meters in height and who knows how many tons in weight. Strapped to its back over its right shoulder was a large block with, what appeared to be, a cannon barrel extending from it. Kaizer delved right into explaining his creation.
“What you are seeing now gentlemen is the evolution of drone warfare and mechanized warfare joined as one. I give you the first ever totally pilotless drone War Frame, the Panzermann Mk.8. Equipped with a newly developed AI control we’re calling the Druid System, this machine can react with almost the reaction time of a human honed to their best, 1.2 seconds is the best recorded so far in testing. The Druid System is designed to adapt to its scenario as the battlefield evolves and can behave as a real soldier would, minus human instincts such as fear and the like. However, what truly makes this new system remarkable is its predictive engine, capable of running a million calculations in the blink of an eye to formulate a counter-strategy to every possible enemy attack. While human pilots inside War Frames constantly have to act on instinct or with little time for hard thought as to what an enemy may do, this machine will already know what the enemy may do before the enemy does.”
“This mech was designed to kill Japanese TSF’s, either from afar or up-close and personal. It carries an 88mm recoilless railgun penetrator, could damn near punch through almost anything with that gun. Also, we have developed a special blade to be used by these new mechs, a new titanium, steel alloy mix that can cleave through armor like butter. The Japanese want to play samurai in their TSF’s against us, these will show them what a Knight can bring to the fight. We equipped it with the same reactive armor plating that we’re using for both the new Panther 1A3 MBT’s and the Panzer Festung’s. Its mobility can be either via its legs as it can walk, or through the landspinners which deploy from the back of its legs.”
All of this was more than impressing the officers from the General’s Staff, but then, Colonel Adrien Strauss, the leader of the group, brought up a very important question. “Your Grace, Herr Kaizer, what of in the event of destruction or possible capture, this is certainly not technology we want the enemy getting their hands on. Drone technology and automated warfare are an area where we have a great lead over the Japanese, His Majesty does not want that lead gone. The key element to our integrated drone soldier program is it lessens our casualties over all while the enemy still bleeds his flesh and blood.”
“Colonel, I am no idiot. Marvelous though the Mk.8 is, there will certainly come a time where it is overwhelmed or incapacitated. There is a self-destruct failsafe in every drone, designed to activate once the unit is no longer combat able. A napalm based charge designed to destroy all the inner mechanics of the drone and essentially leave its inside a corpse of melted metal slag.”
Strauss posed another question. “For such a stupendous weapon, His Majesty will surely desire a test on the frontlines, how many do you have combat-ready for deployment?”
“At this present moment I have three combat ready Mk.8’s that can be deployed within the next forty-eight hours. I’m assuming you mean to send them to the front in Indochina or perhaps to participate in the upcoming assault on Singapore?” Not even the officers were shocked of his knowledge there; rumors had been flying around since the counteroffensive in Indochina first began as to where the amphibious blow would fall. The Abwehr made sure those rumors kept swirling with different targets, Manilla, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Okinawa, etc. The better to confuse Japanese agents. Kaizer, with his connections, would have been able to find out the true target with ease.
“It will be up to the General’s Staff to decide that. Now you mentioned having something else to show us, something you said could immediately be distributed to the soldiers at the front.” Kaizer nodded and directed them over to another testing area where a man was standing in front of a line of men with assault rifles. “Are we to watch a man be shot?” Kaizer hushed him and then nodded to an aide who started the demonstration.
The solitary man on the left pressed a button on the palm of his right hand glove and suddenly his gauntlet projected a wall of blue energy that looked about 2 feet wide and four feet tall. The men with the rifles started firing but every shot disintegrated on contact with the energy wall. After a minute the demonstration was over and Kaizer turned to see his audience’s reaction. “At last gentlemen, a working energy shield for the infantry. Activated by pressing a button on the new issue combat gloves, can be maintained for up to seven minutes at a time and takes only fifteen minutes to recharge. Can be used to protect against all manner of anti-personnel weaponry from assault rifles and shotguns to machine guns and sniper rifles. If you hold this in front of an exposed body part, the damn thing will even protect against grenade shrapnel. Disintegrates the bullets on contact. Best of all is that like the rest of the 12th generation gear about to go into service, the gauntlet projector will not activate if someone other than the designated user attempts to activate and attempting to do so will automatically activate the failsafe self destruct. All our latest combat gear is being geared towards recognizing a soldiers finger prints, vein patterns, retina scans, all to ensure that soldiers can better utilize their equipment and also to make sure the enemy has a harder time trying to reverse engineer it.”
Strauss could not help himself. “How is it powered? Is it the same technology as is being used in the energy rifle program?” Kaizer nodded and then brought up the designs for both the shield gauntlet and the most promising energy rifle design on a computer. “Indeed, a single Helium-3 battery recharged by a chemical reaction in a connected power distributor. Fortunately even a minuscule amount of Helium-3 can produce large quantities of energy, a single gram of it could keep Berlin powered for half a year. So we can do a lot with a little, as Helium-3 is not extremely abundant on Earth itself, far more on the moon and in the gas giants of our Solar System. However, some of the largest deposit’s of terrestrial Helium-3 lie in the deep Crust mines in Algeria and Morocco, which we control. A single one of these batteries can keep going for a solid week even with extended use, unless say a soldier is plopped into the Battle of Stalingrad in which case I’d give it three days.” He stood back.
“At present there are 3,500 of these new Gryphon shield projectors built and ready to be deployed to the front line troops. I can have the shipment on its way to wherever it needs to go with but a directive from the OHL where they need them.”
That order came following a single phone call back to the OHL after which Strauss gave Kaizer instructions where the Mk.8’s and the Gryphons were to be sent.
Oh yes it was time for Germany to truly start fighting back. And this was only the beginning.
Unknown Location, Project Alpha Base
Hans stood in the back of the conference room by the door watching the wall-monitor like everyone else in the room, which included Geitzler and seven other top scientists and the three KSK garrison commanders. On said monitor was a map tracking the path of the three stealth aircraft carrying the Ghoul drop pods to their targets. A daylight raid was going to be tricky, especially since the Japanese might have started preparing for strategic bombing of their cities already. But it was also possible that given no European nation had yet launched bombing attacks on civilian cities in Japanese territory the Japanese might ignore the threat or think it a bluff. That the Count of Bornholm was merely grandstanding in his speech. Hans didn’t believe he was grandstanding, he knew what a killers eyes looked like and the Count had them. Though in the Count’s war he sent men to the bottom of the ocean from the shadows, what he was promising was men whose business was to deliver fire and death from above would visit Japanese cities.
Geitzler nodded approvingly at the map. “Trackers are still active, the weapons haven’t chewed into their skin and torn it out clearly. First drop should be in Beijing, then Seoul, and finally Kyoto. Given the response basis of military personnel, Kyoto will be terminated first, followed by Beijing, and lastly Seoul. First drop in five minutes this should be interesting.” To which Hans thought ’No this will be a massacre.’
Geitzler smirked villainously as he saw the notification the first drop pod had detached over Beijing. “Now let us see how you handle my monsters...”
Forbidden City, Beijing
Japanese-Controlled China
Even in wartime where surprise was to be expected, no one in Beijing was expecting a large metal container to just fall from the sky right outside the Forbidden City. Several people were killed beneath the drop pod on its impact, and a number of others were deafened by the sound of the impact. A couple of Beijing police officers rushed over and began to try and keep the crowd away from the pod and called for backup, while two Kempetai officers nearby approached the pod, weapons drawn and about to try and open it. Then the doors slid open, and then some fast and sharp cut across both men’s throats. They fell to the ground bleeding profusely as their hearts pumped their very life from them. Half the crowd screamed, the rest stared in stunned silence while the police officers drew their weapons though some of them were visibly shaking at the knees. The slash marks on the two officers were not so much cuts as they were that their whole throat was torn out in one go. What creature could do that?
At that moment, something truly horrible stepped out of the dark confines of the pod and into the light. It was terrifying, at least two meters in height and covered in fur on most of its body with a stub of a tail in the back. The hands were claws, dripping with blood, and the teeth were fangs. But the face seemed almost human save for the fangs and pointed ears. Then the beast let out a horrible half-roar half-screech and rushed towards one of the police officers. Before the man knew what was happening, his stomach was cut open and he was falling to the ground. Then the screaming really started as the creature started to attack everything in sight, be they official or civilian, Chinese or Japanese, child or adult. One of the police officers fired his gun at the beast and the bullet went through its hand, to the excitement of the officer, only for morbid fear to soon rush in as the wound began to slowly put itself back together. In seconds the Ghoul had his neck in its teeth and pulled before flinging his head off into the crowd.
The Ghoul started to attack anything in sight with a predatory, feral ferocity. Many were trying to get the gates to the Forbidden City open to flee inside but the gates had been closed to keep the Ghoul out and people fled into the streets where the monster pursued them. How long would it take Japanese military forces to arrive to deal with the creature, as it clearly could take anything the police dished out.
Project Alpha
Geitzler wore a great big smirk as he watched the chaos unfold on international television in Beijing and Seoul. In Beijing the beast had landed outside the Forbidden City, in Seoul the Ghoul landed on a main street during rush hour. Then he heard about where the Kyoto Ghoul had landed and he practically died of excitement. “So our weapon in Kyoto had landed just outside the Imperial Palace? This is glorious! Revenge for our fallen Crown Prince and all the soldiers slain in this conflict. Today, the Shogun dies!”

Upon arriving in the medical bay, Voss was about to excuse his interruption when he noticed what appeared to be a young girl of about eighteen years old conversing with Director Yuuko. He heard some of the conversation including the young girl mentioning not having consciousness for over a thousand years and nearly fainted at the thought. Voss thought for a minute perhaps that Director Yuuko was playing a joke on whoever had happened to enter the room next but both her and the girl appeared completely serious in the statement. He would save his questions for later, for he had a fountain of them. He cleared his throat and bowed to the Director.
“I do apologize for the intrusion Director, I meant to discuss a matter of some urgency with you in regards to certain German weapons about to be deployed or already in the process of deploying. The technological aspect to several is quite concerning. I did not know you were currently engaged.” Then his curiosity bit through the veil. “Though I apologize for prying but did your companion just mention not having conscious thought for a thousand years? I must say that the surprises here never stop do they.” He managed to compose himself again and seemed slightly embarrassed for letting said composure crack even slightly. Thirty years in the Abwehr did that to a person. “I would also like to ask, if you have acquired the corpses of the creatures dropped in Kyoto, Seoul, and Beijing, if I might assist in examining them. I know a great deal about Germany’s genetic warfare efforts, though to my knowledge most of the projects were low budget and meant to simply enhance a soldiers stamina or strength, not create...monsters.”
Now most of his thoughts turned to those creatures but he shut them out as quickly as they came and awaited Director Yuuko’s response.

From: President Alejandro Jose Pinochet of the Federation of the Americas
To: Governor-General Ryan of the Union of British North America
Buenas tardes, Governor-General. I have no doubt by now you know who this message is from, which is why I will not beat around the bush as you British Americans say. By right of true ownership I demand the release of the Panama Canal from control of the UBNA to the Federation of the Americas. It is sentiment here in the FA that your country and commonwealth have enjoyed ownership of land rightfully belonging to the Federation for too long. And so again as stated previously I demand the release of land rightfully belonging to the Federation of the Americas. Anything less will be considered unsatisfactory to my government and in turn the Federation as a whole and we will have no choice but to reclaim what is ours by right. We realize this canal is of major importance in your war against the Japanese, while we regret we must push for this now, it has been a long standing objective of this government and the one before it to restore land rightfully belonging to the Federation as a whole.
Signed, President of the Federation of the Americas. President Alejandro Jose Pinochet.

To: Kaiser of the German Empire.
Buenas tardes, your Majesty. Allow me to start off by sending my condolences for your family's loss in the unfortunate accident of the malfunctioning of your defense systems. I sent my prayers as a servent of the Roman Catholic Church.... But I also regret I must say this message is not fully to send my condolences. As it is well known, it has been a long standing objective of this government and the one before it to restore ownership of land rightfully belonging to the Federation of the Americas back to it's rightful place. The occupation and control over the Islas Malvinas has as recently become unacceptable to many in this government, myself included, as well as the people of the Federation, most notably those in the former Argentina territory of the Federation. Therefore we demand the turning over of the Malvinas to the Federation, while we realize the Malvinas are key to your own naval operations in the Pacific just as the Panama Canal is to the UBNA we have no choice at this time but to demand their turning over to us. Anything less will be considered to this government, unacceptable. And we will have to take certain... Measures to complete the goals of this government in a way we and the people find satisfactory.
Signed, President of the Federation of the Americas. President Alejandro Jose Pinochet.

Missive from the Office of the Imperial Chancellor of the German Empire and the President of the European Community, His Excellency Chancellor Heinrich Buckliger
Schreiben aus dem Amt des Reichskanzlers des Deutschen Kaiserreiches und des Präsidenten der Europäischen Gemeinschaft, Seine Exzellenz Kanzler Heinrich Buckliger
President Pinochet,
As the Chancellor of the German Empire and current President of the European Community, I declare that your claims to the Falkland Inseln are not only false but will be defied by military force if necessary. How dare you presume to lay claim to German soil won by rite of conquest, having beaten it out of the Socialist Republic of Great Britain along with all other British South Atlantic territories. Do you believe we will abandon our most important naval base in the South Atlantic without a fight, if so sir you are surely mistaken. You believe that just because there is German fleet action in the Pacific that we cannot fight in the Atlantic as well? Germany dominates Europe and controls either directly or indirectly a third of the globe, we have not yet begun to flex our strength. But you have lit a firestorm in the military and the Kaiserliche Marine will mobilize its Atlantic forces as will the Marina Reale (Kingdom of Italy), the Kungliga Flottan (Kingdom of Sweden), and the Marine Royale (Kingdom of France). Europa stands united and strong and will not crumble to the demands of a second-world nation however vast it may be. Your nation presumes to be a superpower and make demands of not one but two true superpowers, do not forget your place in the world. His Imperial and Royal Majesty did not receive your message for the loss of his family has left him in a state of mourning and so the German government will respond; you may try to take the Falklands if you wish but it is your folly if you do so. Europa can bash the Federation with ease.
Heinrich Buckliger, Chancellor of Germany

After about an hour of walking, Yuuya and his captor finally got to the only IJA base left on the island, where JPS soldiers were all running around to coordinate the collapsing defense of island. Yuuya's captor led him to a secluded part of the camp, so that he would not be beaten or killed by IJA troops, at least not now. He was alone, injured, and deep behind enemy lines as a POW. But he was also one of the first CON TSF pilots, and he thought they would interrogate him for info on the CON TSF program.
He fell onto one leg after a bout of sharp pain at the wound at this hip. "Dammit." he muttered. His captor helped him to a camp chair. She set her rifle down at a table near by, and then she removed her helmet, revealing her long brown hair with a white ribbon on the side, and violet eyes. Yuuya, gathering his strength, removed his tactical goggles that obscured the top half of his face, revealing his brown eyes. He was awestruck by her features, she looked so beautiful yet so serious. Those eyes saw war and military training. He then remembered his training, training if he was captured by the enemy. "Well, let's get this over with. Bridges, Yuuya. Major, North American Army. Born May 4, 1992. Service Number: 01928-19912-YB. I have the same level of information as you on those military vehicles you encountered two hours ago." He was technically telling the truth as what he was piloting was just like a TSF from the Japanese Pacific States. He would have the same information as this downed TSF pilot right in front of him about how a TSF operates. And it would not be hard to get the gist of how the CON got the blueprints to make them. Hell, they weren't that difficult to build. But the JPS had a monopoly on them, and someone gave the CON plans on how to build them.
He finished what he was saying, seeing those steely violet eyes trying to pierce right into him. He just stared right back at her. It could anger her, but he was telling the truth.

Kenneth Goulding was honestly shocked to the video that was presented by JPS state media. He was piggybacking on the few remaining JPS commercial satellites, as well as the one discovered that disguised as orbital debris from their several rocket launches over the decades. His "Strategic Influence Bureau" sounded like something that was a joint MOD-Foreign Office operation, it was actually a very secretive organization he founded with of course help from the Independence Party's "New Independence" faction. It is the deep state of North America, the behind-the-scenes organizer and coordinator of military and intelligence operatives in the UBNA, the Commonwealth, and the rest of the world. Several CIND, SIGIND, HIND, and Military Intelligence operatives and resources are under Goulding's control. The loss of the Commonwealth military satellite arcs have hindered ELINT to almost 0 capability, as well as Goulding's capability, with the few remaining satellites just now used for intelligence gathering allowed for just a couple minutes. They are disguised as space debris, just like how the JPS or the Germans would do.
He managed to get a feed from the early morning television program. Very gruesome, and in line of what Imperial Germany was capable of. CIND, working with Military Intelligence, have heard rumors of such...biological weapons, and now there is even more confirmation, including reports from CIND operatives in Beijing. And judging by the amount of time and effort it took to slay the beast, it was a game changer. Psychological warfare, force multiplier, heavy assault capability. Just put some armor on that monstrosity and have several deployed on the battlefield, it would slay tens of soldiers within a minute.
He also had skepticism of those who were the "Imperial Family". Even though the actions and behaviors of the Shogun were quite accurate, and the very little intelligence has been acquired on the Emperor and the Crown Princess is not enough to make a conclusion, the whole thing stunk of a set-up. A clear sign that the JPS was getting desperate. Why not go all in? Buy some time with making the conflict go from the occasional border dispute to the holiest of holy wars. Germany did so, and it was quite convincing, because the few remaining CIND operatives in Europe picked up something from the underground fascist and ultra-right grapevine that there was hacking of the German MANTIS weapons by shadowy fascist figures, and convenient blaming on the JPS. The German deep state had its hands clean. The culprits were not the usual deep state operatives that have come up recently in rumors, who Goulding was working with right now to get rid of the current spineless administration. Germany beat JPS to the punch on this one. While the "deaths" of the Imperial Family would definitely galvanize the peoples of the JPS to fight Germany, and call into question North America's involvement in the war domestically and abroad, Germany can and did claim the moral high ground here. The JPS declared war first, and widely publicized it to make it look fanatical. The deaths of the German sailors in the Shokaku Incident made the Imperial Japanese military look like a bunch of psychos with no respect for international law. Terrorist attacks across the North American East Coast and the European Community got everyone on edge. Next, with the deaths of thousands of people, including several members of the German Royal-Imperial House, and the Kaiser of the Krauts now going full holy crusader has painted the JPS in a very bad way. The JPS may have bought time with this false flag in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, but Germany and the UBNA will defeat the JPS. And Goulding has the perfect plan to turn the propaganda tables against the JPS.
He rolled his chair to another computer that was displaying the read-outs of CIND's intelligence reports as part of Operation Lullaby, the North American counter-insurgency plan to JPS military holdouts and resistance of any kind. He scrolled through several reports, and brought up one that has caught his eye. A CIND agent has been observing a Makabe Seijyurou, an IJRG cadet in Salt Lake. He was studying there until the NA war declaration and invasion of the Occupied Province of Disraeli. Now, from lobbying by a Hyacinth Amagi, MP for Queens, the shut down IJRG Academy was reopened for those cadets. Things have been sketchy over there for awhile, particularly in the old part of the academy. Did those cadets seriously think we would not be monitoring them? Of course, an old place like that would require drones to get in there and bugs planted to get intelligence. Those cadets, probably led by Makabe, get a B for trying to cover up their recent efforts, because those bloody field operatives could not find out exactly what is going on. Opening up the academy was a political decision by that useful idiot Amagi and of course overt monitoring would have led to revolution by the cadets. Discreet observation was the only option as it tried to use the cadets' mentality and false idea of superior military training to make them lower their guard. The cadets tipped us off with a plan they are cooking up right now, but it is unknown what they are trying to do. Amagi is making an arrival today to meet with the cadets so she can make a proper report on military administration's practice and policies. Maybe, she can be useful. Maybe, Makabe can be useful.
Just as Goulding was getting mentally involved with the files, Bragg entered the room. He looked around at all of the computer monitors. "You certainly are kept abreast of everything." he said. "Quite right. I need any and all information to make the right decisions. Are they dead?" Goulding said. "Yep. Asgill and his JPS lover are both dead by being trapped in an unfortunate, accidental fire." Bragg responded. "Good work. Next, I want your team to find two people. One Makabe Seijyurou, and one Kido Takeshi. The first one should be easy, it's just a cadet and it's part of Lullaby. The other one will be difficult but we'll get him in a trap. He's known for his secretive entrances and exits. We got right back on his trail by accident because we were monitoring Asgill's office. We know he likes to travel across the continent. I'll send you the files on both of them, and the layout for the trap. Number 2 is quite the pragmatic individual I discovered from our communiques. You'll be surprised too. Thank you for your work. I'll throw in extra for the labor because of Kido." said Goulding. "Right, of course sir." said Bragg, who turned and left the room. "Time to contact my...medical friends and see if they can do some work in about a couple days." Goulding said to himself.

Yep, she was definitely not going to be nice to him, and not her white-clad lackeys either. "I guess this is interrogation time now? May I have something to eat, only to throw up in interrogation? That would add to the pain that would be inflicted." he said, somewhat sarcastically. He tried to get under their skin so they would attack or torture him, possibly even kill him in the process. He had a feeling that his last leave to North America was the last time he would see it, and two hours ago was the last time he saw of his team. Nagase, Snow, and Manandal. He didn't care that much about what she said, and now he just wanted to end it.
He reflected on what she said just as she was leaving. So what if he's Japanese and part of the North American military? Compared to the JPS, the Commonwealth shows itself as a multinational alliance that treats all member-nations as equals, not the Japanese hegemony over East Asia and calling it Pan-Asianism. The UBNA even juxtaposes itself to the JPS as the exposure of hypocrisy on the part of the JPS. Sure, the Southeastern Provinces are where any overt racists live, like those damn Sons of Liberty. They're just as fascistic as the JPS. Rumors abound of experiments done by a Unit 731, plus suppression of rumors and facts of atrocities committed during the Second Sino-Japanese War as well as World War 2. The JPS claims to unite and defend Asia, but used the same imperialist ideas and practices they said they were fighting against. And this TSF pilot thinks that he is a disgrace?
"I'm a disgrace? You work for an imperialist. You work for a hypocritical system. You contribute to the domination Asia like an 18th century imperialist. The Commonwealth and the UBNA ended those practices, and moved towards to the democratic ideal. Those bloody Germans kept up imperialism, with their bloody Kaiser trying to recreate the 19th century all over again. Yes, the Southeastern Provinces are hateful, they're a known hotbed of racist activity. What were you trying to say about where I was born? That I was mistreated? You're bloody right. I knew that, I knew I was different and that they did not like me. They associated me with Pearl Harbor, with the JPS occupation of the Western Provinces. And with the rumors from the Western Provinces of brutal suppression, it made it even harder for me. You're the bloody hypocrite, not me. You're the disgrace, not me. You disgraced the idea of a unified and egalitarian Asia standing up for itself against western domination, and showing a positive example to the world. Now we have imperialist wars all over again. The JPS and Germany keep it going, and brutal suppression of North American rebels always makes Victoria want to take action in the Western Provinces."
He stared angrily at all of them, but especially her. Her snobbery, her presumptuousness. It was disgusting towards him. He hated these people standing in front of him. He hated that they won the war in the Pacific, and that the JPS created the hatred aimed at him. He wished that the JPS never existed. He kept staring at them, with anger in his eyes at their hypocrisy.

David Ryan gave out some nervous laughter, partially agreeing that the Shogun's death was somewhat of a relief, yet afraid of what Imperial Germany could dish out and now the intensity of the war that will forever increase. He never really liked the Shogun, and he dreaded speaking with her at that trade conference 5 years ago in San Francisco, the Asia-Pacific Economic Dialogue. He was just a year into his Governor-Generalship, and was greeted by silent and somewhat stern-looking North American crowds living under occupation since 1945, in addition to JPS citizens also having crowds to see their Shogun. Given that the Shogun was the effective leader of the Japanese Pacific States, and in charge of all foreign and defense affairs, it was customary for her to meet her North American counterpart. He imagined she did not want to be seen with him, and he felt the same way. Now, she was dead, by a demon spawned by black magic in German biolabs. He wondered if Germany would do a false-flag against North American leadership, or on the North American monarchy. He had a momentary waking nightmare of a werewolf devouring him, his family, his cabinet, Her Majesty and the Royal Family, and the entire defense force of the capital shooting and bayoneting the beast to death.
"Yes, she had it coming. Like Hitler did during the Valkyrie coup. Sooner or later, tyrants get their comeuppance." he responded finally. A military aide-de-camp walked into the room. "Your Excellency, I have a report from our forces in the Solomon Islands. They report the Imperial German Navy and Marines have entered the fighting, attacking at Nendo against JPS forces. They lost one of their heavy capital ships, the supercarrier Graf Richtofen, but are still pursuing the operation. We even have unconfirmed reports of giant...robots at the beaches taking out JPS TSFs...Oh, I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I didn't see you." The aide-de-camp gave a neck-bow like he would for the GG or Her Majesty the Queen. "Ah, more fine German engineering and innovation." said Ryan. "Well, eventually Germany will have to show all of her military wonder weapons. It's total war after all. And if Imperial Germany hands the JPS their asses to them, then Her Majesty's North American Government may reconsider its current stance on cooperation with Germany."

"'Blood traitor'? You sound like one of those from the Sons of Liberty or any generic racist from the Southeastern Provinces, always harassing my family, my mother, for choosing to love a 'Jap'. I have no control over where I am born or who I am born too, God dammit. And you say Asia is aligned with the Shogunate, but it's by force and brainwashing. What about Nanking, or all the other rumors of atrocities that don't die down in the rest of the world? All that is swept under the rug because of the JPS's influence at the UN. Sure, you can say you elevated the peoples of Asia and their status in the world, but on so much blood and suffering. It's all suppressed, because it would ruin your empire's image and foundations. You kicked out old empires and set up a new one. You're delusional that you are a savior of Asia. You and your white-clad lackeys." He gestured towards to people in white, which Yuuya remembered from his training, are "Tozamas", and at a lower rank compared to this girl with violet eyes and a white-ribbon. He gathered that she was higher ranking, from her behavior while speaking.
His stomach rumbled loudly, and he was certain that they heard his stomach. He remembered the last time he ate: 8 hours ago. He skipped lunch because the fortified suits, as well as the experimental nano machines, were able to control any feelings of hunger, and helped him have the energy and concentration to operate on the battlefield for long periods of time. His stomach rumbled loudly again.

"Wha...Where...Where am I? Haruko, Haruko where are you...?" he mumbled as he started to wake up. He became more lucid after a minute. "Bloody hell. Had to crawl to my car, drive all the way to Upper California from Oregon Province, and there isn't a bloody hospital for over two hundred miles and this bloody war makes things dangerous on the road. I crashed, and I...I stumbled through forest, hoping to find someone, who can help me...uh..." He finally snapped to his senses. "Where on God's bloody green earth am I? And who the hell are you?" He looked over at a woman in a military uniform. She looked Japanese, which meant he was still in JPS territory, and now captured by the enemy. "Oh. Never mind, then. May I have a glass of water? I'm quite parched." He asked the woman sitting right next to his bed.
Salt Lake City, Military Administration Zone of Disraeli, near the IJRG Academy
Charlie rode up in the car that was driving up to collect Amagi from her fact-finding mission at the cadet academy. The car pulled up to the front entrance, and Amagi was standing outside. Charlie got out and opened the door for her. "How was the interview? Enough for your report to the House? I finished up my end, and now we just need to compile our findings for your formal presentation to the House." Amagi quietly entered the car. Charlie closed her door, and got in the back seat to be next her. "Right, dealing with those cadets must have been a challenge and you don't want to talk about it. Anyway, we are heading straight home now. Your husband got the message, and is going to pick that Italian place for Friday." Charlie said. The car drove away, and Charlie began going over the outline of the report with Amagi. After a few minutes, the entire area of the school was quiet. A white van quietly drove away from the scene, but CIND undercover agent Jun Ishida paid no mind to it. It was the regular delivery truck to the school, which came at this time at this day, for the last three weeks.
Jun Ishida, observing from across the street with his remote controlled drone, was upset that he lost the feed for a good 30 seconds. The fly drone just bugged out for that long. He picked up bits and pieces of the conversation between Makabe and Amagi, but things just cut out for 30 seconds. He knew he didn't get detected because it was a mechanical problem, not jamming. But never mind that now. Amagi was out the area. He needed to capture Makabe. The teams were in position. "Have the dwarf Gekko go in and take out the primary targets, then the fireteams will go in and secure them." he ordered to the CIND teams waiting to enter the academy. The school's surveillance system was turned off, per the Military Administration's orders, so the teams would have no problem getting in, and won't alert anyone inside.
Jun gave the green light. The two teams moved in, silent as they can be. They first opened up some air ventilation shafts to allow the dwarf Gekko in. They scurried quietly to the room where Makabe was in. After a minute they popped out the vents, and latched onto his back, and stunned him with their built-in stun gun. Another man met a Gekko in a similar way. The two teams burst through the doors on both sides of the room. "Clear! Clear! Room clear!" yelled three men sweeping every nook and cranny of the place. "Both targets secured." said Bragg into his radio. "Good. Have everyone extract the primary targets." ordered Jun. "Copy. My team, will cover our six." replied Bragg.
"Wow, that Bragg fellow is very efficient at what he does." said Jun to himself. A new team leader assigned to CIND's Special Activities Office, and very recently. But he has done work like this before. "Mission complete." said Jun as he finished up packing his equipment. Now, he has to blend in with the local population. Wait for any serious rumors of uprising.

Major Yuuya Bridges, currently a POW behind enemy lines, quietly accepted the meal given to him by one of the Tozamas, part of the minor nobility of the Imperial Japanese Royal Guard, the all-aristos security force that props up the Shogunate and the Regency Council.
Yuuya is a Japanese North American, son of a North American woman and an unknown Japanese father, whom he later found out has abandoned his mother, led to his mother's family to almost reject him as a part of the family. He was hated by those living in the Southeastern Provinces, the stomping grounds of the racist and separatist terror group, the Sons of Liberty. He was born there, and did not have many friends in childhood. When he got to high school, things were better, but he still felt left out. He started disliking his Japanese heritage, and adopted his mother's surname. At age 18, right after high school, he enlisted in the North American Army, and his high excellence in training and in tests got him bumped up to Officer Cadet and to the Royal North American Army Armored Corps Gears Division. He piloted the Metal Gear REX Mk. III, the latest iteration of the REX series and rated for anti-TSF combat.
He was selected later for a top secret training and research program, just shortly after he became an Army Captain. When he got to Australia for the program, he found out why it was top secret: it was testing the first North American Tactical Surface Fighters. The weapon to counter the Japanese Pacific States by using their own weapon against them. So far, it has mixed results, but it leans towards being effective. He was promoted to Major before the first mission of the TSF-32 Black Widow, the UBNA's first ever TSF. Now, he was one of the test pilots captured by the enemy. Perhaps he'll live longer than other POWs, given that he is an enemy TSF pilot and the enemy would want to know more about it. Or they are fairly confident enough to have enough info so as he can be killed so as to deprive their enemy of a capable pilot. And judging by what the girl with the white ribbon in her hair said about him being a traitor, he might get more than just death, more likely right before it.
Yuuya, looking at the current world situation in his head, was reminded of a book written after WW2 by a British author that he read in high school. It was a dystopian novel, and about three superpowers all engaged in both cold war and hot war, with no real clear idea of was really the enemy or the ally. The country of the main character pursued nefarious policies to achieve total control over the population: radical transformation of the widely-spoken language, a highly indoctrinated middle social stratum that kept the wheels turning of the system, a lower class steeped in mass distraction, and a personal figure everyone could view as the savior and leader of the nation, as well as a villain figure to vent all hatred against. While the UBNA and the Commonwealth were not like that nation, and German-dominated European Community also not like it either (even though the Kaiser presents himself like Big Brother, just like the Shogun), the JPS were actually quite like that, and controlled more territory than its allegory in the book. However, the book suggested the idea of a world where three superpowers would fight perpetual wars, and there was no real victory nor real defeat, just territories changing hands and lots of dead. While the book also suggested the wars were just conjured up to keep up the system of total control, wars in this world would actually happen and there would be actual casualties. Yuuya wondered if that would be the case. The Commonwealth and the European Community against the Japanese Pacific States, surely the JPS would be defeated sooner or later. And then a Cold War between the Old World and the New World would ensue, and even the Commonwealth would struggle against Germany with its technological proclivities.
He took a bite of his meal, a stew that looked vaguely familiar he had as a child. A coincidence perhaps, given that stews usually look the same, he thought to himself. Very delicious and very familiar. "This stew, it's good, and it tastes like I had at home. Is this a Japanese recipe?" he asked. He also saw a worried look on the girl with the white ribbon in her hair. "What's wrong?"
Seattle, IJA Hospital, JPS-Occupied Oregon Province
"A colonel in charge of all forces? Did you lose your top leadership early on?" he asked. Colonel Sayoko said that she was in fact the Supreme Commander of IJA Forces in North America. He took a sip of water given to him by the IJA guard. He wanted to ask more about how the IJA was holding up here, though usually the North American media was accurate despite the recently created Public Information Commission that handled the "integrity of reports from the front", and so he did not pursue it. He was reluctant to share such information, but his unconscious mutterings and presence here in the Occupied Provinces really limited his options to deflect any questions or even lie. He decided to give the full account, hoping that will straighten out things as well as acquire help to avenge Haruko and stop Bragg and his employers. Or that they will say he is lying and he'll be either beaten savagely by the IJA guards outside the hospital or sent to Unit 731. The JPS really don't like foreign spies. "Saints alive, I must tell you what happened. With Vassal Retainer Kashiwagi." He began with the secret communications between her and him in Victoria about two days before the incident at the Spokane Shinto Temple. Next, he explained that he drove across the continent to the JPS-UBNA border at Washington Province, and found it was largely empty. He also found that the road to Spokane in Oregon Province was also devoid of any North American or IJA troops. He then explained he met with Kashiwagi, and received documents exonerating the JPS in the recent terrorist attacks on the Eastern Seaboard. Finally, a rogue team of CIND operatives came into the temple, shot both Haruko and him, killing her and injuring him, and left him to die in a fire that was set upon the temple. "I am telling you this because I have no where else to turn. My team thinks I am dead, and those nefarious agents working for whomever the hell orchestrated this would be sure to kill me if I did return to Victoria. I'm telling you all of this because of that old adage, the enemy of my enemy is my...uneasy ally, so to speak." He took another sip of water. "Do you believe me, Colonel?"
Area 13, JPS-Occupied Siberia
Hyacinth Amagi sat down at the table where the Shogun was sitting. Meeting the Devil herself, Amagi thought. She quite literally had no other places to go to right now. No one would permit her to leave. And the Devil kidnaps people and takes them the deepest recesses of Hell, too. "Pardon me for sounding rude, but are you intoxicated or have been consuming certain illicit substances? You have kidnapped me, lured me to that cadet academy and drugged me and took me to wherever the hell this is. And that I am from another world? What in God's name are you talking about? Is this what the Shogun speaks with her top advisers? The multiverse? Is the JPS run by a bunch of addicts and drunks that..." she stopped her tirade against the Shogun only to beset by a large headache. She fell out of her chair, holding up her body with her left arm and put her right hand up to her forehead. She screamed loudly. "Sister....sister...I love you sister..." she said. The Shogun stared at Amagi. Amagi then changed her voice and stood up, facing Meiya. "Sister, we have school soon, why are you not wearing your uniform? We're going to be late." she said in Japanese. She walked up close to Meiya, putting her hands on the table but looking reassuring. "Sister, I'm going with mom and dad, and you'll be staying here at home. We'll be gone for a little while. Don't worry, I'll bring you a present." She walked away towards a wall, and then screamed again, a scream indicating on the verge of death. She collapsed again, unconscious. She woke up a few seconds later. "Where...what happened?" said Amagi in her normal voice again, though somewhat slurred.
