บท 34: Operation Unity (Part I/II)

Location: Destroyed Conference Room

POV; Kyle's

''Sir, all sector heads are in.'' Rudolf reported, ''Understood, push me in Rudolf.'' I asked. Without saying anything Rudolf pushed me into the temporary meeting room. ''IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!'' The sector heads stood up and saluted, ''At ease'' I replied. Rudolf pushed me to the head of the roundtable. ''Now I have called you here today to discuss a backup plan I and Rudolf have created. This plan was made encase our Base would meet unknown resistance from Germany's Government. Sadly we now have to use it for a different reason. '' I said to them. All sector heads faces were solemn because they are thinking about the Organisations future looking bleak. ''I understand, our base is in shambles and who knows when the next wave arrives.'' The head of intelligence said. The other Sector heads nodded in agreement.

''Okay than I will explain operation Unity, it is a very detailed plan and to make it work everyone needs to work in tandem, also there is a chance we will get killed during the operation. The operation is named Unity, there is a very specific reason for that because the plan revolves around the unifying of the Alpine states! We are in a weak state, we need a state to protect us, Germany is not an option, nor is any other major country. For this reason, we need to create our own, Austria and Switzerland are too weak on their own. It is nearly impossible hence we have it as a backup plan. And for this to work we will need all sectors to work in tandem. There are 3 main obstacles to this and many small ones.

The main ones being that Germany is eyeing the Alpine state of Austria for annexation, so they will most likely prevent us from trying anything. 2nd the Union between Austria and Switzerland is nearly impossible to achieve, it requires not only the support of the people of the two countries but also the politicians support! 3rd the Unknown Organisation might already have infiltrated those governments, that we do not know, if they have we will be wasting our efforts.

I and Rudolf have solved some minor problems, but these 3 obstacles still remain, we hope the sector heads might be able to help us resolve these issues! Our only saving grace is we are able to even think of this plan because of our nearly LIMITLESS supply of money. Without it, we wouldn't even dare to try to think of it.''

I said and bowed my head to them, ''Help US!'' I asked them. ''Sir the Unifying of the Alpine states is not that impossible as it sounds, as you have said, Germany is eyeing the Austrian state, although I do not know if that is true, if it is true we could use it!'' the head of intelligence said, ''Think about it, if Austria feels threatened they will seek to gather allies, now if we have infiltrated large parts of Switzerland we could extend a helping hand, and if Germany continues we could offer a Union between the 2 countries for protecting the people!'' The more the head spoke the more it made sense.

We don't need to even infiltrate Austria! We could just use Germany's own move against it. ''The crux of the problem lays in the that Germany WILL try to annex Austria, if they do not, and even invade Switzerland instead all our work and money will go down the drain.'' The head of Finance said.

The mood which got slightly better due to the head of intelligence was immediately suppressed again because they are working on a 'what if' scenario.

'They are correct, but if the organisation no longer intervenes in German affairs and let History go its course it WILL happen.' I thought to myself. ''The problem also lays in gaining a foothold in Switzerland as well, because we need to first influence the politicians before we can influence the people. Also, we will need a base of operations and fighting is a no go in Switzerland, else we will lose all support immediately. How are we going to do that?'' The head of Logistics asked.

''I Say we use a small village as the base of operations and try to bribe and blackmail the politicians, with our financial capital and the Black hands' Intelligence gathering skills we could achieve it rather quickly, 2 to 3 years I propose.'' the head of construction said.

''interesting proposals'' I said. 'Sir how about we make a monopoly in the Swiss market, with our current strength and support we are able to achieve it, and using our economic might we bend the Swiss government to our will!'' The financial sector head said ecstatically. ''But that will impact our financial reserves too much!'' The head of Storage said. ''Okay I have listened to your ideas and there have been major fixes to my plan, it is still hard but no longer impossible to achieve!'' I said smugly. 'I STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW!' I thought I just wanted to boost morale. Rudolf stepped forward, ''I suggest 3 plans based on what I have heard and my and the Marshall's Ideas. They are as following:

Plan 1,

Plan 1 consists of Using Switzerland as the base, building a second fortress or multi fort in the Alps, we just keep Swiss politics stable, and if the enemy Organisation has entered we will force them out as much as possible. With this, we can have a relatively stable environment to grow, but the Swiss will be a weak state, in this plan Austria will be left out to not confront German Aggression. this plan will only take 2 to 3 years to achieve

Plan 2,

Plan 2 consists of bending the Swiss state to our will, Using multiple ways, through economic pressure and using the black hand as a tool to control. Later IF Germany tries to Annex Austria we will force Switzerland to lend a helping hand and form an alliance, we then spread our influence into Austria. this plan will face German Aggression and we will have to combat Swiss Neutrality! Also, this plan will take longer to achieve 3-5 years.

Plan 3,

Plan 3 Consists of seizing Switzerland by force, We Build our Alpine fort first as a base, but this will cause the enemy organisation to know about our presence, We than annexe Austria ourselves before Germany can, this means infiltrating German command, making us again known by the enemy Organisation. This plan is the quickest taking 1 to 2 years maybe 3. But will mean showing our new base of operation to the enemy and again face German Aggression.

Please, everyone, think and maul over these plans, we will vote afterwards.'' With that said silence permeated the meeting room again as all sector heads were deep in thought.
