''Sir, we have completed construction of the Battle grade Zeppelin in Blatten! They request that you come over and christening the Zeppelin!'' Rudolf entered my office. ''Understood, also increase funds for the research teams. Lastly, get all sector heads together again. It is time for Phase 3.'' I replied to Rudolf.
I stood up and started to head towards the cars parked outside, but this time with 4 gold skulls surrounding me, as I left the building tons of people was cheering and trying to get a glimpse at their current leader. ''Sir, it is 2 hours towards Blatten. Make yourself comfortable Marshall!'' Nova said as he held the door of the car open.
'Time is running out, our plans are being stalled, our research is slow, Germany is getting Stronger than expected, the communists have taken back France, this is not how I remembered WW2!' Many thoughts go through my mind as I try to remember events. I try to stay calm in front of my subordinates, but I started to first doubt my choices, my decisions. But whatever I lead this
Organisation too, I will make people Hell to pay if they try to destroy it!
We pass through the Alps slowly approaching Blatten,''Sir, we are approaching Blatten ETA 10 minutes!'' Nova reported.' I have never been to Blatten, as I had no time, I had to organise everything in Bern.' I thought to myself. ''This is Nova, I am with the Marshall, the code is Delta Delta November Echo Hotel Charlie Foxtrot,'' Nova reported. ''Copy, DDNEHCF confirmed. Opening the gates!'' A soldier replied over the radio. We approached the V-shaped Valley. 'EEEEEEE' A massive Siren went off further ahead. ''Sir, Welcome to Mother Base!'' Nova said.
Before my eyes, just entering the valley a massive 5 Meter thick Concrete Wall with 2 Meter thick steel gates appear before me. 100 Black skulls heavily armed guard the Wall. 'Ah, that is why they had outposts further down, to stop anyone from seeing this. But how do they stop the villagers?' I thought to myself. 'EEEEEE' The siren was still blaring as the massive steel doors opened. ''We haven't finished construction of the Mother base, so we build this as our 1st main line of Defence,'' Nova explained. 'Interesting, it seems that it was a good idea to give the head of construction full authority over the construction.' I contemplated.
''All our available heavy weaponry has been installed in bunkers in the 2 cliff faces.'' Continued. 'Dunk' The heavy metal doors were locked into place. ''PROCEED FORWARDS!'' The Hauptmann shouted to the convoy. ''IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!'' the men on top saluted when we passed the gates.
From the gates to the village was another 5-minute drive, on the way in cliff faces many bunkers and portholes could be spotted, with heavy artillery, Anti-Tank and MGs sticking out of them. When we arrived at the Village there was an Outpost on the road that leads into the Village, A Tiger tank stood in a Bunker-like place on the other side of the Outpost. ''Sir our only 2 tiger tanks have been placed at both ends of the Village entrances! Also The Village also now has Anti-Air towers fully equipped, reinforced Buildings, Bomb Shelters, and Strategic placements of pillboxes!'' Nova Continued the report.
We exited the Village and started to head further into the Valley, another 5 minutes later and a Second Wall appeared, but thicker and more heavily armed than the 1st one. The Doors are opened standard, for easy movement of good. The men on top saluted when we went through. And immediately after that, a small base came into few. Mostly Storage, 2 barracks, Bomb-Shelter, Anti-Air, External Connections to the Water and Oil storage to refill. But after those Storage Facilities, 2 Massive Doors Came into few. One on Ground Level and one 20 meters Above, 'Must be the Door to the Airstrip. The 2nd Door is much Bigger and thicker than the one below, as it is directly exposed, while the 1st Door or gate is more inwards. As there are many defences outside the gated build into the sides.
''OPEN THE GATES, MARSHALL HAS ARRIVED!'' The Oberst shouted from a command port In the rock face on the left. ''OPENING THE GATES!'' Men shouted. 'EEEEEEEEE' A siren went off as the massive 5 Meter thick gate opened up, massive gears could be heard as 500 tons was pulled to the right side. ''Welcome Sir, to Mother Base!'' Nova announced.

''Sir, We have Completed 36% of the base, Most Basic utilities are Online and the main Transportation Hub is Online. Main Command Centre is operational. We are sorry for the heap of Mess Marshall, but we are still constructing.'' Nova Reported. ''At ease Nova,'' I replied. ''You, Private! Get us the train that is going to the Hangars of The Battle Zeppelins.'' Nova commanded. ''Yes Commander!'' He replied. ''Sir, we currently have already Installed all transport and armoured trains. We are Building the rail to also go outside, But that is until we have finished the Construction of Mother Base. '' Nova said. ''Just take me to the Hangar, we are showing the world Swiss Power. Nothing can go wrong at the Show and Parade!'' I said.
'This is It. Our reveal to the World, our Might!' I thought to myself. ''Sir It will take 8 Minutes by train to get there, as the hangars are on the Cliff face close to the Village, the Doors are Also Made of Thick steel and Concrete, but the Hangar doors, are Made not only of steel but is covered with the natural Rock formation. Hiding the Hangars when not opened.'' Nova said. 'That is why I could not spot them.' I observed.
We Boarded the train, which was filled with construction materials and goods, but the front wagon also had a special room for passengers. We sat down and waited silently 8 Minutes for the train to arrive at the Hangars. ''Marshall!'' The old Captain of the Hindenburg greeted me. ''You have completed your training. The Zeppelin and her crew are now at your command Captain. Make it worth it.'' I said to him while patting him on the shoulder. On his Badge were only 2 Stars, but 5 Airplane emblems. Showing his skills in aviation. ''Yes Marshall! her 200 Crew and 1200 Soldiers are ready to be deployed at a moments notice, we are stocked and ready for Flight, Maximum Mission duration is 1 Month without any resupply, 6 months if food is resupplied, only after 12 months does the fuel need to be replaced.'' The captain responded.
''Captain, the Parade in 2 days, Will show our power, this will be a live exercise with the Airforce, you cannot make any mistakes!'' I told him. ''Yes, Marshall I shall Not disappoint you!'' The captain replied. ''Now if you would please follow me to Hangar 3.'' The captain beckoned us tow over.
We started to walk, we passed Hangar 1 and 2, who were both empty. Then we finally arrived in front of the door with a huge number '3' written on top of it. ''Marshall, I want you to behold! His Marshall's Ship(HMS), the HMS Dreadnought!'' The captain shouted. The doors opened and in front of them, a massive 724 Meter long Zeppelin stood, 4 massive turrets mounted on the top of the Zeppelin, 2 400mm Barrels each! A huge conning tower on top, the Zeppelin was littered with Guns, on top. On the bottom, there were Bomb doors. While just below the conning tower and the 4 Turrets there was an Internal airstrip. Massive armour plating goes around the gun structures. Titanium plates the exterior of the zeppelin. She is really combated worthy!
''ALL HANDS ON DECK, THE MARSHALL AND CAPTAIN ARE BOARDING!'' An Oberst shouted to the crew. There was an entrance at the bottom, a ramp. We walked up, and we entered the Bomb area. ''Sir if you would follow me.'' The captain said. We started to walk through what felt like a maze, tons of ammunition, equipment, etc was internally stored in special vaults.
We walked for what felt like 30 minutes and finally arrived in the conning tower on the captain's deck.
''Sir, make yourself comfortable, the Parade is in 2 days. In the meanwhile, if you need to you can go to the command room In the Middle of the conning tower.
''Sir, we confirmed that the Union is going to test the new Swiss weapon. We have not confirmed how and when, but be prepared they will be there.'' Zero reported over a secure Radio. 'The Union is Getting more aggressive, maybe I have to do Phase 3 and 4 at the same time, it might stress our resources but I think we can manage.' I mulled over the report, thinking of a solution. I started to call the head of engineering Adelger.
''Marshall!'' Adelger saluted on the other side. ''I want a report on the R&D of the weapons I requested. And the R&D lab in the Mother Base will be done in the following weeks, get ready for transfer.'' I ordered him, ''yes Marshall!'' Adelger answered.
I started to head for my cabin, which is one floor below the Command Centre.'The union is getting too active lately and more aggressive. I wonder why, but we must seek allies. I am no longer sure that even after fortifying the Alps, including in Austria and in France/ Italy. That we can withstand it. I must make preparations for a long war with the Union. For that, I will need to start stockpiling Materials, get foreign recruits, more factories to produce war goods. And that is just the basics, I need to discuss this with Rudolf.' I started to get worried about the Union.
'Also, they OWN the commonwealth, how can they lack anything? Something BIG must be consuming all resources of the commonwealth, but what?' I started to feel something I haven't felt for a very long time. Fear, fear of the unknown. 'But no matter what, These Battle Zeppelins are a testament to our power, I would like to see them destroy them first.' I thought to myself. ''START THE HMS DREADNOUGHTS CORE!'' The captain ordered so loud even I could hear it faintly. 'It seems they starting some routine checks.
Terminology:
-Conning tower:
the conning tower is a raised platform on a ship or submarine, often armoured, from which an officer can Conn the vessel, i.e., give directions to the helmsman. It is usually located as high on the ship as practical, to give the conning team good visibility of the entirety of the ship itself and of ocean conditions and other vessels.
-Commonwealth:
When the United Kingdom declared war on Nazi Germany at the outset of World War II it controlled to varying degrees numerous crown colonies, protectorates and the Indian Empire. It also maintained unique political ties to four semi-independent Dominions—Australia, Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand[1]—as part of the Commonwealth.[2] In 1939 the British Commonwealth was a global superpower, with direct or de facto political and economic control of 25% of the world's population, and 30% of its land mass.
-R&D = Research &(and) Development
(I used Wikipedia extracts, so if you want to read more go here: https://en.wikipedia.org)
The Union is creeping closer, resources disappearing, increase in active personnel. War is drawing closer, can our MC prepare enough?
