Berlin,German Empire,December 31st 1941
Inside the Capital of the German Empire were 4.4 million Berliners going on their normal day,It was a cold winter day and many were cooped inside waiting for the day to pass,But at the Berlin Palace some 260 men were outside in the cold in full Prussian Uniforms,10 of these men were walking in front of 50 Panther tanks,this was Germany's medium tanks,their crews were standing in front of the Tanks,Many were young,no older than 24,But each were experienced men of war, For 6 months they fought the ottomans and now were going to be part of the Guards of the Kaiser,The Most prestigious Job One could hope for In the Prussian Army.
All the men at this ''Parade'' were young save for 1 man,at 82 years old he didn't still looked a day above 70,Kaiser Wilhelm the 2nd,Kaiser for over 50 years and the Man that gave the German Empire it's greatest victory and tried his best to save the Nation after the Black Monday,He wore his full military dress as he greeted the Soldiers of the New 1st Imperial Tank Guards,He walked up to 1 man and shook his hand.
''Hello What is your Name?''he asked the man
The Soldier saluted almost as fast as the kaiser talked.
''I am Tank Leader Hans My Kaiser!''he said in a sharp tone.
''Hans...That is a good name,Why did you join the army?''the Kaiser asked
''I Joined because of my Nation's Survival''Hans Said
''I see...You Did well,The felling to save your families from radicals is very noble,May you Be a Good,Proper soldier Hans,I wish you have the same courage as my Generals and Marshals''the Kaiser said as he went to the next tank crew
Hans began to tear up,He was a German,A Prussian,He never wanted to fight a war,but when his nation's survival was on the line,he saw if he failed in this great task,his family dead and his culture gone,He Knew right there he needed to fight for the kaiser,The Words the Kaiser gave made him deepen his love for the Empire.
Just then,A much younger man Came to meet them,if a old man saw him,they would think of the Kaiser when he was younger,But this man was not him,At 188cm tall and well over 190 pounds,he looked like a Boxer and you could see the muscles even under his uniform,This was the Crown Prince Wilhelm IV,He was much like the Model Prussian and Kaiser the empire would need when the time came.Strong,Smart in Politics and Military,Manly,courageous and more.
As he shook Hans's hand,he spoke in a soft tone,almost like a son to his father or that of a Gentleman and not a Kaiser.
''Hello there Mr.Hans,May i welcome you personally to the Guards of the Kaiser,Please enjoy this Job in the name of my Family'' he said as he left.
Hans looked in pure shock,this young man talked like the polar opposite of what he looked like,sure his voice was deep but it sounded that of a family man and not of a ruler,Nonetheless his loyalty was true and pure,he would rather die than see Germany fall into the grips of the Enemy.
As the snow fell,the Kaiser and his Heir went to the war room for the weekly meeting,where Rommel,Model,Guderian,Richthofen and Donizt were waiting for the meeting planned that day,and to plan their future attacks.
In the war Room,11:48PM
The 7 men looked at the Map of the World,Their were many places with Soldiers and Planes and ships in various areas,it was where the German forces were,As the kaiser and his heir looked at the map with the same expression:Planning,Model spoke up.
''As you can see our units are ready and poised for either Operation Yellow or Red,which is better is up to us,On a side note,it seems the Russians were true to their word of not willing to fight us in our lands,that's a huge relief''he said''On that Note,they seem to have made good progress against the Ottomans,in Romania they have crossed the Danube river and are making their way to Varna at about 4Km a day,they should be in the city by May at best,and in Asia the Manchurian advance In south east Asia is still going strong,i fear Singapore will fall in about 2 months,Fucking Fascists''
The Kaiser raised his hand
''I see...Operation red is Manstein pushing into Sudan all the way to Cairo correct?''he asked
''Yes that is correct,But it also has Rommel launch a attack into Bosnian lands as well''Model Added
''And what is Yellow?''asked Wilhelm IV''Why have we not talked about since the end of October,it looked like we forgot about it for the past 7 weeks''
''I can Explain the plan,It's a risky but good plan''Rommel began''We take 1.8 million men and pushed along the center in a 250Km wide gap all the way to Albania,this would trapped 1.6 million Ottomans in one hit,But as you can see,such a plan could be very dangerous,That is why in my opinion we should do both at the same time,but with Austria helping along as well,over 7.5 million men against the give or take 8.5 million Men,but with the Russians and French it is really 14 million against the 8.5 million,we might be able to knock over 4 million in one hit if made right''
The Room looked at Rommel,It was not long before Model spoke.
''You Fucking retard of a Fucking Goat! Why didn't you bring this up at the last meeting! We could have this underway from like weeks faster! Fucking Idiot!''Model was always a foul mouth man when angry.
Rommel didn't looked angry in anyway,He spoke calmly as he defended himself.
''I was not here weeks ago,I Just came here 9 days ago,and was with my wife and kids,And don't swear,the Kaiser is right in front of us,i swear it happens every time you get angry''Rommel said with the last part in a mumble.
''Shit...Sorry,Anyway where were we? Ah yes,The Issue with the Navy as well''Model said
At that Donizt stood up and pointed to various spots
''Since i command the U-Boats,i cannot give the full details of the Surface Navy,But the 488 ships we have are in a tight spot,The Manchurian's have at the least 30 to 50 more,which puts us at a 20 to 1 disadvantage in the Pacific,while the Ottomans have some 1400 ships,meaning with our allies,we have 150 less than them,But the good news is that The French Navy has just began a attack in Benghazi to try and sink the 90 ships in port that was going to attack Italy,so that might put some pressure off the naval war for now''he finished.
The Red Baron stood up
''It's hell to say the least,For every plane we lose,they lose about 1.3,But most of our pilots live so in all,as long as our elite don't die we can win any air war in the long run,But don't think we have complete Air dominance,Just last week My Bombing raid Failed over Varna and we lost 88 planes out of 288''he said''I say about another year before we have total air power,That is all for me,i was busy writing some new air doctrines for the Bombers due to my failure last week''
The Room was in silence as they all looked at the Map,each time someone took a piece to move it,someone put it back and said''That will leave ''Blank'' weaker,i think this is better'' and so one,as they heard the bells of 1942 hitting them,A scene no one taught possible happen.
Marshal Von Manstien fell on the table
In a loud thud,The Ugandan Front(also called Army Group Africa) Marshal broke the table,as he got up,he looked around and mumbled some words.
''Ow...Shit that hurts,What the heck happened?...Huh? Kaiser?''he said
No one spoke a word to what they seen,He was in Sudan for the past 5 months so how was in Berlin in less than a second? Before anyone could asked,the 4 men outside the room open the door,And when they got inside the looked a bit pale.
Wilhelm IV looked at them with a worried look.
''What Is it?'' he asked
''I Don't know Your Highness,We saw a super bright light and next thing we know is that A loud thud was heard and then We came in''Told the solider.''For a moment i taught A Bomb exploded
The Kaiser and the other looked at the men with a ''WTF'' face.Bright light? What could that even mean?
But more question would arise when after the meeting(Another 3 hours of things coming to them) the following things were deemed to be true that also caused the Men great pain in their heads:
1:The German Empire entire military was now back in their Homeland
2:All the dead soldiers were back Alive(found on top of their Graves with no memories of how they died,Wilhelm III sadly not alive)
3:All the Border of their empire in Europe is now water.
4:lost all contact with the World,even colonies can't be found.
5:Another Moon was seen in space,meaning by logic they are not on earth and the Horizon was at least 2 times as big
6:All damages done by the war seems to have vanished somehow.
In a meeting held later on with the Chancellor Von Kolh and the Kaiser,they talked about the turn of events and what to do,mostly in the military and ''New World'' Policy.
''If we are truly in a new world,we could finally have the peace the People want for so long''said the Chancellor''I think the best option is neutrality at all cost until our economy is fixed''
''Yes Indeed,But what if this world is Warlike like the 1600's but more brutal or have no people to trade with?''asked the Kaiser''It would pain me to see us collapse because of these factors''
''That Is true,i was only thinking of the now and now the future,forgive me,But if that is the case we must keep at the least 90 division in the army with all tanks divisions as well and have the navy and Air force be left as it is,As you know this is enough where we can still win any war,But We must pray that this world is peaceful,The people want peace,they are tired of war,death and misery''said the Chancellor
''I Hope so too,I No longer wish i was the Kaiser of War,I want to be the Great Peacemaker of Germany''said the Kaiser
As the 2 men talked about the future of Germany,a mission of 3 ships to find any nation,the Bismarck battleship,the Red baron Carrier and the SMS Schleswig-Holstein Battleship were to make contact with the first nation they found,the specific order was to not use Gunboat Diplomacy unless they act rash and try to provoke them.
The SMS Schleswig-Holstein was the oldest ship in the German Navy,at 36 years old,it was very old,but it was much loved by the Navy,it took many hits from the most powerful guns of their enemies and didn't sink,in 1939 a exact model was made with some differences,and the old one was made into a Museum ship in Kiel.the new Model had the following changes compared to the old one
-it was now 136 Meters long
-new engines saw it hit 27 Knots rather than 19.1.
-All guns were new and now had modern range
-Armor of belt is now 300mm,Turrets are 325mm and Deck is 75mm
-New radar,Aim sights and more
-New weight is 19 800 Tons(+5800 Tons)
On the SMS Bismarck
Captain Ludwig looked at his small fleet, since he learned that they were in a new world, He was Amused of the possibility of new combat, on earth the Bismarck was feared by all for it,s first mission from the 18th of January to the 1st of May 1941 it attacked any ottoman ships it saw, sinking 4 BB,2 CV,5 CA and finally 12 DD. Making it the Terror of the seas, now it was to be made as the Peaceful contact with this ''New world".
As he looked at the bridge,A small smile escaped his lips,Just then his First mate,saluted him.
'the Diplomat is here''he said
''Good,send him in''he replied
As the Diplomat walked in he gave a small nod of respect.
''Captain,May you tell me where we plan to go?''he asked
''Of course,we go west until we find land and when we do,you will make contact with them''he said''Before we go,what is your name? When the times come i will need to call you to deck''
''Oh It's Fredrick Von Clausewitz,Pleasure to meet you''he said
''like the general from the Napoleonic wars?''the Captain asked
''No I'm named in his honor as a last name''He said
''I see,well then let's go! Prepare to leave port!''Ludwig said
The Crew began to prepare to leave on a long journey to find life
And so 3 ships began to leave port,they were to change the German History as we know it.And now all that remained was for them to make contact.
(A/N:I forgot to add by the Ammorial Empire and Ancient Sorcerous Empire both have like 1950's and 1970's tech respectfully)
On the SMS Red Baron,January 4th 1639,6AM
After 2 days on the seas they found land some 100Km away from them,seeing this they sent 3 Me-109s into the air to find out if they are friendly or not,they had orders to act as peaceful as possible.Inside the 3 planes were Hans,Claude and Peter,all 3 were pilot aces with 8 to 15 kills each,as the planes got ready to depart Peter the leader spoke to them.
''Hans,Claude i want you 2 to be at all time less than 1 Km from me no matter what,when we meet their air force make sure to make all signs that we come in peace''Peter said
''Yes! But Peter what if they ride on Dragons?''asked Hans
''That will be the Day i get to see my wife again''said Claude
''Ok Remember,Germany's fate is in our hands,Let's go!''Peter yelled as he zoomed off the Carrier
And so the 3 planes formed into formation and headed to the landmass.
Central Calendar year 1639, January 4th, 8 AM
Principality of Kua Toine, 6th dragon squadron
The skies were clear. Riding on a flying dragon known as a wyvern, the dragon rider Marl Patima was on a patrol mission in the northeast region of the principality. There was nothing in this part of the country. To the east, there was only the ocean, and while adventurers had left to explore for new lands, none ever returned.
Because of recent tensions with the Laurian Kingdom, patrols were necessary to detect and counter warships going off-course for possible surprise attacks, thus explaining why he and his partner were in this empty region.
"―!?"
He spotted something.
"What is that?"
He should have been alone in the skies, but something else was there,3 small dots just under 17Km away. In normal situations, anything other than a friendly wyvern was unthinkable. Even by wyvern, the flight distance from Lauria to here was nothing to sneeze at. The major civilizations apparently had a flying dragon carrier called the Dragon Mother, but something like that should have nothing to do with this remote area. The flying objects, starting at the size of a grain, steadily approached. As it came closer, he confirmed it was not a friendly wyvern group.
"Nothing appears to be flapping..."
He immediately contacted headquarters with a magical communication tool.
"Unidentified objects in the sky. Preparing flyby to identify. Current location..."
They were all at the same altitude. Intending to pass it by, he closed in. He flew past the unidentified objects.They were large,about the same size as his Wyvern. Nothing was flapping on them, but what appeared to be the head had 1 object spinning around loudly.The flying objects were Grey and had a Yellow head, with a Black Plus sign drawn on the body and wings.
He turned around, his partner flapping its wings fiercely. The wind pressure pushed hard against him, threatening to throw him off. He kept at a distance...or at least, he intended to, but he couldn't even catch up to them. Wyverns could fly at 235 km/h.Among animals, it could claim almost the top speed, being faster than horses –the cavalry that ruled the skies.(Apparently, the major civilizations were breeding an even faster species of dragon). But really, he just couldn't catch up at all. He couldn't even determine if it was a living thing or not.
"Kuh! What the heck is that thing!"
German Pilots
''Wow! A Dragon! I guess i do get to see my wife after all!''exclaimed Claude
When the news of Dragons existed came to the SMS Red Baron,they first asked them if they were drunk or crazy and when they swore on their families graves,they couldn't believe it, Peter broke the giddy pilots.
''Focus,we are about to enter their lands,try to be as friendly as possible''said Peter
As the 3 Me-109s went into the air space they would just make history,German Historians would later call this the ''Große wirtschaftliche Einsparung''(Great Economic saving).
Stupefaction
"HQ! HQ! I'm trying to confirm the objects, but thay are way too fast! I can't catch them at all! The objects is heading towards Myhak. I repeat, it's heading for Myhak!"
Headquarters, after receiving the report, buzzed furiously like an angry beehive.3 Somethings that could even outrace a wyvern was headed for the economic center of Kua Toine, Myhak. If it was attacked, that would stain the prestige of the military. Judging from their speed,they probably already entered the mainland's airspace. Orders were relayed via communication magic.
"6th dragon squadron, all wyverns fly! 3 unidentified objects appears to be entering Myhak's airspace! Shoot on sight! Repeat, shoot on sight!"
Wyverns crowded the runway. There were 12 total, all geared up for a sortie. They launched into the clear blue skies and soared up high.
The 6th dragon squadron was luckily right in front of the unidentified objects and could confront it directly. From the reports, these opponents was capable of extreme flight speeds. If they was really that fast, they only had a small window of opportunity. The 12 riders in the dragon squadron lined up horizontally, wyverns' mouths gaping open. A simultaneous fire blast – if it hit, no dragon could survive such an attack.
In the wyverns' mouths,balls of fire began to take shape.But just then, the 3 unidentified objects began to ascend. Because the riders were already at the wyverns' maximum altitude of 4000 meters, this was a completely unexpected situation.They climbed at an alarming rate. The 6th dragon squadron,lamely outranged by the unidentified objects, was left behind.
"Unidentified objects found. Attempted to engage, but the objects ascended out of range and is proceeding to Myhak at a ridiculous altitude. I repeat―"
The leader of Myhak's defensive order, Captain Inne, received the report from the 6th dragon squadron and looked up at the sky. Generally speaking, dragons spit fireballs for air-to-ground attacks. In the past, shooting arrows and dropping rocks were also considered, but flying creatures can't carry heavy things. Against only a single attacker, they would not suffer much damage. In all likelihood, the enemy's objective was reconnaissance and caution.
But, what exactly was it? 3 Somethings that's far faster than a dragon.3 frightening objects that can surpass the altitude limits of a dragon would soon appear over the commercial city Myhak.Captain Inne continued to stare at the sky.
From far away,a sound could be heard.It was an unfamiliar VNNNNN and after a short while,they arrived in Myhak's skies. The objects descended and turned in the sky. It was a Grey and yellow, otherworldly objects that emitted strange noises with wings that didn't move and Black plus signs on its wings and body.
They were clearly impinging on Myhak's airspace, but their dragons were in the midst of transit from far away and while there were some viable defensive measures, this threat arrived too quickly and none of them were ready to be deployed. In other words, the city was effectively defenseless. The objects circled the air over Myhak a number of times, then sped off to the northeast.
33 minutes later,SMS Red Baron,85Km from Myhak
As the Pilots explained their mission report to the captain,he looked pale as a ghost,their first contact was seen with retaliation and now they could have a reason to turn them away,but with no injuries they could claim a ground zero,After a while the Captain of the SMS Schleswig-Holstein called them and said the Bismarck would go to the port and open talks. As the Bismarck began to move to the port,The Crew looked at the landmass with anticipation.
Myhak Habour,2 hours later
The whole town was in a furious panic,just 30 minutes ago a massive ship,Grey and bigger than anything they ever saw arrived just 10Km from port,it stayed their menacingly,Inne looked at the Massive ship in terror,if something like that attacked them now,there was at least over 20 000 men in the ship,more than their entire army in the city! Then a lookout shouted something
''A Rowboat just dropped!...11 men inside! 10 rowing a 1 standing,Unmoving!'' he said
Inne looked as the rowboat made it's way to the Dock Inne was at,as they docked in and got off the 10 rowers took a weird stick and stood in 2 lines,5 on the left and 5 on the right,they looked stoic,but Inne felt something was off in them,the feeling of sadness,the last made got out of the small boat,he wore a suit with a simple blue tie,he did a small gesture with his hand as he walked to Inne and spoke.
''Hello,My name is Fredrick Von Clausewitz,I am a Diplomat from the German Empire,I wish to open talks with your Nation Please''the man said
Inne looked at him before she spoke
''I Never heard of this ''German Empire'' where is it?''she asked
''Of course,we are about 1000Km away from this Beautiful City with such beautiful people ''replied the man
At this Inne felt her face burn up a bit,As she was doing this,The Man continued
''We would also like to apologize for our misconduct earlier,Our Planes didn't mean to enter your lands with hostile intent,they were to find any semblance of a nation,and thank God we found some,Again we offer our apologies''said the man
''Oh? that was your Flying Crafts? seeing they did no harm,i suppose the Government will let it slide,If you excuse me,I must inform my Government of you arrival,Please come with me''said Inne
As the 11 Germans followed Inne,they looked at the city in amazement,But for now they put sightseeing for later.Now they had a mission,To save their Empire.
