Chapter 58: Factions
Location: Motherbase High Command
POV: Rudolf's
''MACKENSEN! WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEND OUR WHITE SKULLS TO CHINA!'' The head of logistics shouted angrily, ''If we can unify China and control it we would have unlimited recruits since The Union controls India, THIS IS A WAR FOR RESOURCES!'' Mackensen shouted angrily and rammed his fist down on his desk. ''BUT WASTING MORE RESOURCES TO GET FEWER RESOURCES IS ULTIMATELY STUPID!'' The head of Construction shouted angrily, this is because this debate has been going on for the past 3 hours, the Marshall went to visit someone important and thus cannot make the decision right now.
''If we restart Operation Dragon we will be able to utilise the Chinese Government!'' The head of Intelligence argued, ''I agree with the Head of Intelligence, we should not invade China as we do not have the manpower nor resources to have a prolonged war even of Japan is currently fighting as well.'' Rudolf analysed. ''We can use the Japanese as a Tool to conquer China it is not impossible!'' A General from the German army stated. The people were stuck in a stalemate, it can only be broken if the other minor factions join their side. The question is, are they willing or will they form a 3rd opinion?
''We support the Idea of the head of Intelligence! It is the best way of solving our current dilemma.'' The head of Healthcare, Education and Finance supported the head of Intelligence, currently tipping the balance in favour to him. ''I decide what the white skulls can do not you head of logistics I am in favour of Mackensen's plan!'' The temporary head of the white skulls took his stance, ''Seeing that our air force is direly lacking I oppose such expedition, I agree with the head of logistics (Rudolf's Faction) to conserve our resources to fight the Union!'' Manfred also took his stance, making the balance equal again in the room. ''I and the head of Storage Will abstain from voting, we have other projects to focus on'' The head of Engineering stated.
Deep frowns appeared on the heads of the people in the CC as they all turned to the last one who hasn't said anything, the head of Electricity/Water. Sweat beads formed on Enrich's Head, ''I I I first agreed with the head of intelligence that we should bend China's Government to our will, but this also means we have to fight Japan or infiltrate them, because if they successfully conquer China all our efforts go to waste, so I agree with Rudolf to sit this one out.'' Enrich said while sweating profusely. Mackensen and the Head of intelligence sat down dejectedly knowing they have lost, while Rudolf gave a glance to Enrich showing his satisfaction.
''Now that has been decided let's move on with the next....'' ''WHO HAS MADE THIS DECISION WITHOUT MY APPROVAL!'' Rudolf was interrupted by an angry voice, that voice was none other than the Marshall's, sweat started to stream down everyone's faces as they knew they did something wrong even though they do not know what, because when the Marshall is not present than decisions will be decided through voting.
The Marshall entered followed by another man, the Sector Heads have never seen this man before the man was walking behind the Marshall with a cold look but also friendly at the same time, he wore a tight fit German Uniform, they couldn't see at direct glance which rank, ''Let me Introduce you to the new Leader of the White skulls.'' The Marshall stated, All the heads were baffled, the man has just joined, has not even introduced himself, yet YOU WANT TO MAKE HIM LEADER OF OUR LARGEST FORCES?!? They were going slightly crazy, as they had to go through hundreds of tests before getting into the top 100 candidates, yet this guy without doing anything except have a chat with you gets one of the most vied positions in the army!

POV: Kyle's
''Sir we have arrived at the Inn shall I go with you Marshall?'' Nova said. ''No no, It's fine Nova this is a talk I wanted for a long time,'' I replied.
I walked into the Inn, it was not really an Inn more a fancy restaurant, Marshall, the Sir is sitting at the back, a waiter said. All people in Blatten know the Marshall, he is the person who has granted them prosperity. I walked towards the back while walking through I noticed a lot of Officers eating here and chatting, it was quite lively, 'Seems their wage is enough, maybe even a bit too much.' I noted down. 'Beep' 'It seems that Zero wants to contact me.' I looked at the portable radio. ''Excuse me could you point me at the Men's bathroom?'' I asked a Waiter, ''Ah Marshall, with that hat and sunglasses I didn't notice you, excuse my lack of manners. The Bathroom is Around the Corner over there.'' The Waiter said while pointed at a hallway, ''Thank you and keep silent I do not want too much attention.'' I replied earnestly to the Waiter.
I walk into the men's Bathroom and opened the Channel to Zero, ''Sir the debate in CC has been going on for an hour now, it might escalate into a situation out of my control, I would advise that you come back as soon as possible.'' Zero reported, ''What is the Debate about Zero?'' I ask curiously, ''It is about the Failed operation Dragon and what to do with China Sir.'' Zero replied Blood drained my face, 'China is an asset we need to recruit massive amounts of soldiers and workers, what is there to debate about!?! I also told Rudolf that this topic would be discussed in MY presence, yet he ignored it. It seems time for them to wake up and remember who is In charge!' I thought angrily, ''Understood, monitor it closely and tell me if there is an outcome.'' I ordered coldly devoid of any emotion. Sweat started to form on Zero's forehead, 'God it seems they have done something they shouldn't have, I will mobilise the Agents for security sake.' Zero thought.
I walked back out of the Bathroom, luckily no one was inside, so my conversation was not heard, I put back my sunglasses and Hat and started to head towards the Table Rommel was seated at. I walk up to the table and extend my hand whilst saying: ''You must be Erwin Rommel, It is a pleasure to finally meet you.'' Erwin Rommel extended his hand and a light smile was on his face, he was a person you could get along with, ''Ah Marshall White, It is an Honour, I have heard the stories about you, A real war hero!'' Rommel said politely, ''No no no, Rommel you are the War hero here, bravely fighting in the Great War.'' I replied to his words. But what he said afterwards almost made me fall over, ''Time Is Precious. Wanderer.''
