Esthirant, January 20th 1640, 3 hours into Model's assault
2 German men sit inside a fancy Hotel, both are Officers, Alfred Merdal and Frederick Hozen. Alfred sat down a took out a glass of water and poured Frederick a glass.As the 2 men took their glasses, Alfred spoke.
''You know, i find it odd our Boys in the skies didn't take out their bases, would have made this much easier''he said''Like it seems bad on my views of this''
A distant explosion was heard before Frederick spoke
''Yeah, But you didn't hear this from me ok?''he said as he got closer''So we didn't attack to create fear, a message of you can't defend you people, and so when they faced the military that wiped their cities, they you know...''
Alfred nodded'' I see, we did that to create the myth that we can attack them and they can't beat us, so when we attacked them outside of the Capital, they collapsed to our forces, leaving little losses, Genius!''
As they nodded in understatement, Frederick saw some food on the nearby table and took it.
''Hey! That could be poisoned!''shouted Alfred
''Nah, I'm hungry''he said
''You Hungry fucker, If you die i will tell your sons it was your fucking hunger that killed you''Alfred said
''Yeah ,yeah, Anyway, come to papa!''Frederick said as he took a large bite
After a minute, he smiled
''Taste like Lightning''he said
''The fuck? Give it here'' Alfred said as he took a bite''Holy shit! It does taste like that, the hell?''
As he looked at the food, a Menu was on the other table, he took it and gave it to Frederick.
''It has magic inside, gives you lighting powers for 2 hours, This really is a another world''Alfred said
''Yuppers, anyway, so how much longer to you think before the city falls? I say 4 days tops'' Frederick said
''Nah, in 1 hour we took some 10% of the city, i say 2 days''Alfred said
The 2 men then looked at the hall a few meters away, Flames and many Dead Papaldians, both civilians and soldiers,The 2 men looked in neutral expressions.
''I fell sad for the people, they don't need to suffer that much, But if they wanted to make Germany, My Fatherland a puppet, then this was to be their fate, But still, This stills makes me a bit sad.''Frederick said
''yeah, But at least the Orders of No rape,Looting and all that was made, makes me still proud we listen to are rational thinking and not savage hatred''Alfred said
The 2 men prayed for The future of these new 'Germans' to be better one day
Model's Frontline Base, 3 Hours later
A Officer was reading a report, he was shaking like a fawn.
''In 6 hours we have taken some 25% of the city, lost only 800 men and killed 32 000 of them, and also...23 000 Civilians, We also captured some 22 000 men...That...is...all?'' he said
Model was looking at him in pure anger.
''Officer, I will give you 1 chance to tell me, why the FUCK is the enemy still alive and kicking?'' Model asked
''W-Well''He stammered''It's because they have nothing to lose, we expect no more than 2 more days, Please don't get too an...gry''
The man flinched when he saw Model, a man prone to anger despite being cool headed, But to his utter shock he smiled.A Simple happy smile.
''Good, order the battleships to fire 1 Salvo every 1 hour, And begin to order our men to burn every building that does not surrender, And get that Parliament under our arms no matter what. ''Model said
The Room saluted, Model's orders were given.
Over the next 30 hours, most of the city fell into their hands in ruthless fashion, if they could not get a Building, they dropped a Bomb then attacked, which was highly effective, with only 500 dead Germans and over 150 000 Papaldians were killed, Mostly by the Intense Bomb explosions.
But now only some 12 000 men still had the will to resist the Germans, But Model wanted that last bastion of Papaldia and oddly enough, the last building in their hands, the Papaldian Parliament, which to them looked like the French Parliament but bigger, He gave the order to the Army to seize it no matter their losses.
Now was the time for the Final assault.
The Germans amassed over 50 000 men in the attack, they began with a 1 hour long Artillery barrage, which saw most of the Building set ablaze, but the defenders did not see much damage .The German Attack began at 3:15PM quickly began to bog down soon after, with a kill ratio of 1:1, the first since they came to this world, over 350 Germans died.After just taking a few rooms of the 1000 to take, the attack was halted for the Half-tracks to help.
At 6Pm, the second attack began and saw more of the Parliament fall to their hands, the main problem was many Papaldians fought at close range with shovels,their hands and swords, making many Germans meet a dark end.By 8Pm, with another 600 killed, Germany racked their skulls to see what could change.
10Pm, Germany attacked with their Snipers to pick off the Commanders, But with only 100 killed, it did nothing, At 2Am the Germans gave the defenders a nasty wake up call. 10 Tons of cluster bombs hit them dead on, and not even 1 minute later, the German assault crashed their forces down, And by 7Am, the Germans had complete control over the complex, with 2300 dead and all enemy dead, the Battle of Esthirant was over, But a Moment that this world would call history was made.
Roof of the Papaldian Parliament, 7:09Am, January 23rd 1640
2 German soldiers were standing on the ruined Building's roof, They were Frederick and Alfred, with them were many Photographers, they planned to do something that is Pure propaganda
''Whenever you're ready'' said one of them
The 2 Officers nodded, As if they did this 10 000 times, they Saluted as Firm as Possible and just then, 10 ME-109s flew by, they had done this 2 times already, but the 1st try, the planes went to fast.
FLASH!
As the cameras went off, the Men keep their pose, after a clap, they stopped and went over to them.As one man took out a photo and waved it, the Picture came out
Besides the City in rubble, it showed 2 German Officers with 4 medals on top of the Building the Papaldians spend so much money to built, saluting 10 of their fighters passing by, it looked like power incarnate,Alfred was the first to speak.
''What will this be called?'' he asked
A Short, but well fit man, Alex spoke to him in a Gleeful tone.
''This will be called a name that all Germans will know 'the Will of the German Race against the Enemies of Freedom' Or do you have a better one? I mean you are in it''said Alex
''Hmmm, It seems a bit long, how about...'The Will of the German People?''' Alfred asked
The Photographers looked at him before they smiled
''Perfect...Oh Just Perfect!''shouted Alex
This Photo would be given to every newsreels in the world, and every Nation would learn of Germany's Power, the photo went by many names in History.
To Germany and His Allies, it was the symbol of the Determination for Victory and Freedom.And many would call it the sign they wanted to see, the sign that Germany is the Power that would destroy all evil in this cruel world.
To Every Nation outside the zones that still though Papaldia would win, it made them fearful that Germany was a far, far stronger power than Papaldia would ever be.It made many see Germany as A Powerhouse, not some nation with some power.They called the Photo,'Triumph of the strong'
In the Zones, it made them appalled of the damage Germany did, and not to care, did Germany not care of the Fates of others? It made many to see Germany in a Bad light, But none wanted to provoke them into a Conflict when they had no reason to do so.They called this Photo: 'War, the ugly truth'.
In Gra Valkas, It made them see Germany as A Nation just like them,War like and Power hungry. For Once Gra valkas said to themselves that they could have a rival in this world, their One Party state, under the rule of the National Socialist Gra Valkas Worker's Party or NSGVWP, Called Nazis in Germany,they were to make plans to 'Exterminate' this problem before it became a problem.
But Now, Germany was at peace and with it, They Hoped no one was stupid enough to force them back into war so soon.
Same day of fall of Esthitant,Nighttime
"Haah, haah, haah......"
The sun had already set; under the moonlight, in the shadows of an alley, a single woman ran. Her body was soaked with sweat, and her legs were all scratched up from the numerous times she had tripped and fallen. As soon as she had hidden herself in the alley, Enemy soldiers rushed down the main street. They all yelled the same thing:
"Find her! Find her at all costs!!!"
Everyone in the capital was looking for her. She knew they had to be.
"Kh!!! Why do I... have to go through this!!!"
She already couldn't stand the fact that she was on the run like this. However, if she were caught... it would mean her death. Her terror drove her past her limits.
Back at her mansion, one of the maids who got along with her sensed danger and prepared clothes that were easy to move in, some money, a knife, and told her to run. If it weren't for that maid, she would have already been captured.Because just 10 minutes after she ran, Remille's mansion was flattened by German Bombs, But since they knew she lived by not finding her body, she had to run.
As she ran, she collided with a Man, as she looked up her anger took over her.
''Who D-''she was cut off
''Oh...It's her''Said the man
At the words of the Man, Remille went ice cold, When she looked at the Man, he wore a German Uniform and behind him were 8 more men with guns pointed at her, she knew she was caught. The men knelt down and met her face to face.
He was Average height, had Blond hair, Blue eyes, a Sharp chin, a near perfect nose and his face gave Remille the feeling of boredom. His teeth were perfect white and his Uniform, A Light Grey was Perfect.
''Well, Miss, Seems you're luck ran out''He said, his voice filled with aggression''make sure she doesn't move.''
He Got up and turned his back to her and lit a Cigarette.
''Want one clause?''he said to a Soldier
''No thanks,I don't smoke''Clause said
''Ah, Smart, you and the other are smart, it's a addiction''The officer said
Another soldier then piped up.
''What do we do with her? Kill her? Or have some Fun?''he said in a wicked tone
Remille looked petrified, But the officer turned around and slapped the soldier so fast no one knew what happen.
''No! That is against Our Code you Idiot! We are not the barbaric Manchus or Commies! We Are Germans! I forbade any mistreatment of any enemy we find, They are human just like us, Even if they are Rapacious in their ways, to bow to their levels, makes me sick, Just take her to the Prison, I think it's still standing''The officer said
Remille was then taken forcefully by the officer to the Prison.
'Papaldia Empire',Esthirant
How many months had it been since he had last stepped foot in this country...
After so long, these men in suits were once again visiting the capital of the Papaldia Empire as a delegation formed to facilitate the Annexation of Papaldia. Among their number was Ambassador Micheal, who had once made every effort to establish diplomatic ties with the empire until that Fateful day.
The delegation was here to take Remille Back to Germany to carry out her sentence, in a 379 to 121 vote, she was given death by firing squad.In order to verify that they had not captured a body double, Micheal had to perform an in-person interview with her. He was being escorted by a number of police officers to a special imperial prison.
The garden outside the special prison had short grass and various small birds singing. At first glance, it was an idyllic scene. However, inside the building it was dark and gloomy, since it was built such that not much light could get in.Just like German prisons of old.
Micheal descended down the damp staircase. The quiet hallway echoed ominously with the sound of footsteps. Eventually, they arrived in front of a cell. The bars were fashioned from sturdy iron and it had a stone floor; there were no furnishings inside whatsoever. The stones were so cold that a typical German person wouldn't be able to stand even a single night in this cell.
Inside the cell, there was a single woman wearing an iron collar around her neck with weights attached to her limbs who glared at Ambassador Micheal. Micheal took a single look at the woman then turned to the police officers.
"It's her."
Micheal, holding every possible card. Remille, exposed and disgraced. After many months, their first conversation was about to begin.
Meanwhile in the Parliament of Papaldia
The New Papaldian Emperor, Ludius II, the Brother of Ludius was sitting in a chair, in front was a Paper to sign Papaldia's Homeland officially to Germany and End the war, Germany had already given their part, all that remained was for him to sign.
He signed the Piece of paper and looked at it with sorrow.But the Germans Just smiled and spoke to him like a child despite being 20.
''You made the right choice, German West Philides will become stronger than before''The German Said
On January 23rd 1640, The Papaldian Empire cease to exist and Germany occupied the Homeland, Almost as soon as the paper was signed, Germany would demobilize once more.
