Hi!

My bad, for the long delay. The boss-man has been cracking his whip. Working us overtime, so he can make more profits, out of us workers. (Rant Mode) His son has probably decided, that he doesn’t want a brand new Supra, but instead he wants a Lamborghini. Maybe his wife wants to redecorate their bathroom fixtures, with gold trimmings. Or perhaps, he intends to use the extra profits to get some high-class hooker. I shall become my own boss, some day, one day,………some day. (Rant Mode) Anyway here is the continuation of the epic French saga. Not very long, but action packed.


1265
We continue to pour more troops, into the front lines of the Korean War, to reinforce Charlemagne and Richelieu. Napoleon also sends, 2 highly trained Army officers, recent graduates of the Ecole des Elèves Aspirants (E.E.A.) to each General in the field. The darkest moment in our war effort has passed, with many casualties, a desperate and irate Napoleon, speaking to the Joint Chiefs, says; “We have to turn the tide. The people will start to get restless, if we don’t. DO YOUR JOBS.”

It is not all bad news in France, and in Besancon government officials announce the completion of the SETI Program. A huge listening post, which will help us determine whether or not, we’re alone on this planet. We are all very excited, as this new Great Wonder, will effectively increase our research capabilities. In Paris, Napoleon meets with the North Fleet commander, Admiral Resnais, to discuss the Japanese problem;

“With the Japanese in the war, I think it’s now a good time to put my Fleet, to good use”, says the Admiral.

“Yes, but why stop at Japan. Once you begin bombing the Japanese coastal cities, I want to you to send some more ships to attack China”, advises Napoleon ever so slightly.

“Consider it done, we’ll hit those butchers where it hurts the most, in their homes.”

“So how many ships, will you be sending?”, asks Napoleon.

“I’ve got 5 Battleships, 2 Destroyers, 2 Submarines, and 1 Ironclad ready to set course”, answers Resnais, proudly.

“Yeah, blast them into oblivion. By the way, you’re fully responsible for the Japanese War. The name is OPERATION INVASION DENIAL II”, says Napoleon, as the meeting adjourns.

The North Fleet receives its orders from Adm. Resnais and the captains in the ships begin to sail for the Japanese coastline. Along the way, we spot an old Japanese Frigate. A good opportunity to practice our naval warfare tactics, for our inexperienced sailors. Our crews in the Subs and Destroyers, begin taking out portions of the Frigate, when at last one of our Battleships rams it, completely disintegrating it. It’s a lot of fun for our sailors, to see their Japanese counterparts suffer, but we know the battles won’t all be this easy.

For our South Fleet, there have been no such easy battles. And we’ve suffered heavy losses. Word comes in from the town of Chondote, of a Korean Ironclad harassing some of our fishermen. Adm. Yanne quickly sends in a Sub, to deal unmercifully with the intruder. Undetected, our Sub approaches and with just two torpedoes, rapidly streaking through the water, the Ironclad is destroyed.

In the diplomatic front, Napoleon decides the best way to punish Japan, is to get one of their neighbors involved. He sets up a meeting with, Elizabeth of England, in the capital London. (England is the Orange country north of Japan, in the same Feminin Continent. They’re of equal size and share a long border.)

“Queen, I have traveled a long way to ask you for a favor”, a respectable Napoleon says.

“What do you need, you old bloke?”, responds Elizabeth.

“I need you to declare war against the Japanese”, says Napoleon.

“I don’t know, although I’ve always hated those ****ers, England is unprepared for war at this moment”, answers Elizabeth.

“But why? Is there anything I can do, to help change your mind?”

“You know, I’ve always wanted to ride around, in these things called automobiles. But unfortunately, we here in England, have not the technology to create the bloody things.”

“I understand. Well, I think that can be arranged”, says Napoleon, what everyone understands.

“Great, I mean, how are we going to wage war on Japan, if we don’t have these wonderful Tanks to ride in. Also, we will need some Oil and money, to properly build and operate our new war machine.”

“You drive a hard bargain Elizabeth. But I will agree to your demands, as a show of friendliness.”

“Excellent mate, I would see you to the door, but I’m late for my milk baths.”

“Whatever, just start your war against Japan”, says Napoleon, knowing that we have now given away our most prized technological advance, in exchange for war.

With the English now able to build Tanks we decide to see if other nations, would like to know this secret, like the Zulus and the Americans, our trading partners. Shaka still refuses to hear any offers, he is quite busy, as the war with the Babylonians, has been restarted. However, Abraham Lincoln of the Americans, is interested and agrees to take the technology, in exchange for war against the Chinese. (They’re the light blue island in the middle of the South Iroquois Ocean, with a small possession in the Occidental Ocean, very near the Chinese mainland. Our Silks from America, are now secured.

Meanwhile, back in Larsa, Richelieu assembles a force of 6 Tank companies, 5 Cavs and 1 Mech. Inf. brigade. We are now to move, to the walls of Cheju. The terrain is completely flat and covered in the hot arid, Chaeryông Desert. The desert however, does make it easier for our troops to move across, promptly and orderly.


“Generally, commanding of many is like commanding of a few. It is a matter of dividing them into groups. Doing battle with a large army is like doing battle with a small army. It is a matter of communications through flags and pennants.” (tzu)


At the same time that Richelieu makes his move, Gen. Pasteur inaugurates, the “Bombing of Cheju.” 6 Bombers squads, escorted by a Fighter squad, take off from our base in Amatikulu. The flat desert terrain, allows our air crews to fly at low altitude. Over the city, we drop our bombs on the frightened Korean populace. The prestigious Cheju State University is left in ruins, as we blast it with several pounds of explosives. The Cheju Central Marketplace, also gets blown to bits. There won’t be any goods, bought and sold on this day. During the bombing of Cheju, approximately 55,000 civilians perished, oh well.

While nearing the outskirts of Cheju and in the irrigation paddies, our troops come across 2 Korean Cav brigades. We rampage through the irrigations and instigate the battle. We quickly break any semblance of a defense they have. We pummel them, as their horses, are no match for our armored tanks. We are now at the walls of Cheju, with a massive force.

[Kaos XIII]

Battle for Kaesong:

Kaesong is an ancient city, with a counted population of 290,000. Most of the people live within the huge walls of the Old City. It is on the coast of the Gulf of Korea, with the Mugabe Mountains serving as a backdrop. After the Grassland Assault, our forces are a little down, but still happy to be in control of the only road leading into Kaesong. For the Koreans there is no way to reinforce the city, as the Celtics promised us, no R.O.P. for Korea. However, we know the Koreans have already moved in a large contingency into Kaesong, to defend the inevitable attack.

Kaesong is the largest city we’ve had a battle in, since the old Theveste and Rusicade battles in the Carthaginian War, soooo long ago. Early in the morning Charlemagne decides to move up from his base in Zunguin and view the operation first hand. Our soldiers are awestruck at his presence. He orders our Tanks to punch into the city, fast and hard. To the north, our 3 Cav brigades are waiting for our Tanks, we will invade simultaneously. Our Tanks cross a critical bridge over a small canal, leading into Kaesong in the foggy, early morning hours. We face small automatic weapons fire, but not enough to slow us down. We want Korean blood and we want it, inside Kaesong.

In the mountains to the north, where our Cavs were waiting, the monsoon was blowing, bringing rain and fog from the Gulf of Korea, the weather is supposed to get much worse. The Koreans have converted the large government buildings, into strong points: snipers in the upper stories, machine guns in the ground floors, and mortars from hidden positions. Their best weapons are automatic rifle and the rocket launchers, for our Tanks. We are also armed with, but we have Tanks with us. We also have 2 Artillery Companies and Bombers providing support.

Our Tanks reach the city walls in the mist, and the Korean flag on the Governor’s Palace could be seen taunting our soldiers. Charlemagne then calls in the Air Force to “start bombing the hell out of them.” At the same time our Artillery companies, begin to pound the Koreans inside. The Tanks and the Cavalries are to breach the walls, when our Bombers arrive. With the roar of our Bomber engines overhead and the explosions inside the city, the time for the Battle for Kaesong is here.


“Even in the midst of the turbulence of battle, the fighting seemingly chaotic, they are not confused. Even in the midst of the turmoil of battle, the troops seemingly going around in circles, they cannot be defeated.” (tzu)


Before the enemy could react, our Tanks and Cavs swiftly, make quick gains on the city, and establish control over key parts of the city. The aerial bombardment continues and the Barracks of Kaesong, go up in flames. Many of the Koreans bodies, are rushed out by the civilians. Our Cav brigades however, would feel the full brunt of the Korean force. They are to secure the University, but are quite bogged down. Infantry and Guerrillas defending inside, inflict massive damage on our Cavs. A Tank company, is quickly rushed to their aid.

Adjacent to the Gulf, is the famed Yalu Boulevard, a heavily urbanized area, around 15 blocks long. Charlemagne orders the Boulevard secured, we roll in and our guns dominate, the fierce fighting on the wide street. We take sniper fire from Guerrillas, but we quickly fire back. The street is illuminated with blazing bullets. The buildings on the boulevard are getting riddled and battered, as we continue to exterminate the enemy. The fight on the Yalu Boulevard, ended with no losses for us and 4 conscript brigades dead (Spearmen). The next objective is the Governor’s Palace, where that most despicable flag flies.

The weather now changes to a cold drizzle, with a low cloud ceiling. The poor visibility hampers our Tank company trying to help our Cavalries. Our Bomber squads are unfazed however, as our bombs aren’t accurate to begin with. With of without fog, we just drop bombs wherever. With the boulevard secured, Charlemagne now orders our Tanks to, “approach the interior of the city, in close groups.” This tactic provides an effective combination, for dictating the close-in fighting, along the tight streets of Kaesong. On our way to the Palace, we notice a massive fire, as it appears our Bombers have struck, a heavily populated residential area. We estimate tens of thousands of people, were killed during that bombing.

But we move on, the aerial bombardment has also taken a heavy toll, on the defenders. Our Tanks knock down entire walls, of the old city, as we eliminate pockets of resistance. During the street fighting in the interior of the city, we take out 2 Guerrilla and 2 conscript (Longbow) brigades. Meanwhile, our Cavs, bogged down, continue to battle for their lives at the University. Radio communications reveal, that 2 of our 3 brigades, have been destroyed. Our Tank company now reaches the Cav position, at the University, only to realize they have been completely finished off, by a Korean Infantry brigade. We now take our revenge, for our comrades. We blast through the spaced out campus and smoke out the murderers one by one, until the last man is killed.

Our main attack centers on the Governor’s Palace, in the heart of Kaesong and there we encounter 2 Infantry brigades, in the exterior. A ferocious battle begins. Our Tanks shell them with everything we have, from the air our Bombers drop heavy ordinances, on the beleaguered defenders. The Koreans run away from our bombardment, but our Tanks chase them down, with our guns. The Governor’s Palace is reduced to mere rubble, along with their Infantry. Charlemagne now walks onto the complex with a huge smile on his face. The tattered enemy flag, is replaced by the beautiful, crisp tri-color of France. Kaesong is now badly damaged, but the city is ours now, along with 2 Worker battalions.

Charlemagne is heralded, as a master tactician. We defeated 11 enemy brigades, while only losing 3 Cav brigades. During the battle and bombardment, there were about 130,000 civilians whom perished. The resistors are still fighting against our troops, so Charlemagne orders up some of the Infantry to move in and handle them.

IBT: Breaking International News: Mao takes swift and decisive action, against the Americans and announces a triad, alliance force to punish them. Korea, Zululand and Egypt all announce a declaration of war against the Americans. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Zulus then bring in the Aztecs, to declare war on the Americans. The Zulus also part of the deal to ally themselves with China announce, that the Chinese have officially declared war, on the Babylonians.

It’s significant activity diplomatically, as nations now take sides. The Americans suffer the most from this, as they are now at war with 5 nations. We are approaching a long road to a world-wide conflict.

you've really developeed your style over the course of this story, good work :thumbsup:

[unscratchedfoot]

A good battle. I just wish those lazy koreans would put up a better fight.

By the way, you need to use your editor and for bombers, ships and arty, flag 'lethal land' and 'lethal sea bombardments'. Also, increasing the 'rate of fire' value will make them hit more often cause I kinduv remember in the original game the arty misses like 3 outuv 4 times or something.

[Kaos XIII]

Thanks for all the good vibes, fella's. I'm wary of the lethal bombard, but I think I should, up the Rate of Fire. More urban battle scenes, coming up:


1270
Noire Pluie Paramilitaries: Operation Mountain Swarm:
There are still Korean troops in the Mountains, but they are immobile, since they know once they move out of the Mountains, they will be destroyed by our Tanks. To combat this problem, the Noire Pluie Paramilitary force starts Operation Mountain Swarm. The Operation consist of specially trained Mountain Guerrillas, to commence hit and run attacks, on the already battered defenders.

The Koreans have been trapped on the Mountains, receiving a pounding by our Artillery and Air Force. They have no way of getting food, and many of them are suffering from starvation. We will end their suffering, when they eat our bullets. Guerrilla commanders, including Charles De Gaulle meet up and decide to avoid the Infantry, at all cost. Instead, we are going to attack the weak Conscripts.

Our Paramilitaries begin mountain excursions, hoping to catch some of the Koreans napping. There is little action, as our Guerrillas roam the mountains only encountering an occasional coyote and bear. Then suddenly we come upon a large Korean camp. In the camp, there are 7 Conscript brigades (6 Longbow, 1 Spearmen). De Gaulle licks his chops, as we all know this is going to be a slaughter. We set up camp with our Guerrillas, high on a mountain top, near the unsuspecting Koreans and wait for them to go to sleep.

The night arrives, but it is a full moon, alas we cannot have complete darkness. Our Guerrillas get sent on to confront the Koreans. We run full speed ahead, through the rugged terrain, filled with dense trees. There are Korean troops guarding the exterior, but we just run right by them, as we put several bayonets in them. We are now nearing the large camp now and the Guerrillas put their war face on and scream, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

It’s a massacre, bayonet charges leave many of the Koreans dead, in their sleeping sacks. Many try to run, but we gun them down with our AK’s. “KILL THEM ALL!!!”, yells out De Gaulle, as he also participates, in the festival of gore. Korean blood overflows from the mountains, as many Korean inexperienced Conscripts, are left screaming for their lives. We did not however come out unscathed, 1 Guerrilla brigade was defeated, as they mopped up the defenders.


In the North Iroquois Ocean, a Japanese Sub is spotted by one of our Ironclads. The order is given to attack and we begin to pound them with our ancient cannonades. The Sub is unfazed and returns a hail of torpedoes toward our Ironclad, sinking it immediately. A nearby Destroyer hears the distress call, from our Ironclad and immediately moves into the area. Our sonar, picks up the Sub and we drop several depth charges throughout the area. It is a perfect hit, as the Japanese Sub parts, are seen floating in the ocean.


Back in the front, Richelieu is now in Larsa, waiting for Cheju to be captured and secured. With the troops continuing to pour into each General, they both now have an abundance of soldiers to command. Richelieu realizing he doesn’t need all of them for Cheju, spoke with Napoleon about a new plan;

“Bonjour Richelieu, what is this new plan you want to talk to me about?”, asks Napoleon.

“Mr. President, I think I can achieve Obj. 4b, Ulsan, using the Zulu Gulf to outflank the enemy.”

“Go on”, an intrigued Napoleon demands.

“We’ve been going head on, at the Koreans, but I think if we move through the Gulf, we can achieve a tactical advantage.”

“Your right, but how do you want to do this?”

Well, Ulsan is just outside the Zulu Gulf. And I’ve got Transport Assault Ships in Larsa, which can take a significant number of troops through the Gulf and land right outside Ulsan.”

“Interesting, the Koreans will be vastly unprepared. However, you do know Ulsan is not within our Bomber’s range”, adds an interested Napoleon.

“Yes I know. But the Koreans in Ulsan will be so unprepared, that it won’t matter. Besides, Cheju will be captured in a short time and our Bombers will be able to bomb Ulsan from there.”

“Genius, I shall approve your plan. Yep, it takes me back to my old days, when I was coming up with brilliant military moves”, a snobbish Napoleon replies.

“Yeah sure, whatever”, says Richelieu in a very low voice, where Napoleon couldn’t hear him.

“What was that?”, asks Napoleon.

“I’m just saying, I’ve got to let you go, as I’m going to be very busy soon. I’ve going to set up shop in Cheju, with Charlemagne to plan the “March to Seoul”, says Richelieu, as he hangs up the private telephone line.

[Kaos XIII]

Battle for Cheju:

The Bombing of Cheju continues day and night. Our troops outside the city, can see the dark black clouds of smoke on the horizon. Cheju is situated on the southern most point of the Gulf of Korea, but completely surrounded, by the sandy, Chaeryông Desert. Our Artilleries begin to shell out the defenders and the order is given by Richelieu, “to commence the battle.”

Our Bomber crews report back, that busloads of troops were seen bringing in fighters, from the rest of Korea. As the wind picks up, the sand begins to blow in our face. Like a feeling of being poked by a thousand needles, the sand storm harkens our vision, as we move into the city. But the enemy is not visible, everything is eerily quiet. “They’ve run away”, says one of the Privates. Our Cavs move in from the west, while our Tanks roll in from the east and south.

Our Tank companies then uncover an enemy Cav brigade, hiding behind the walls of the bombed out Library. They come charging out, but their horses take no more than 20 feet forward, before they are gunned down. A colonel reports to Charlemagne; “It appears the Koreans have abandoned the city. There is vary little light resistance.” Of course that was just the situation in the east and south sides, in the western portion of the city, it is a very different situation.

5 Cavalry brigades, are given the task, “to secure the western urbanized section of the city.” Like the Tanks in the east side, the Cavs gallop in unopposed and the city appears quiet. Quiet that is, until the Korean Infantry and Marines charge at us, brutally from the rear. Our Cav brigades’ response is panic and disorientation, as man after man is gun blasted. Communication is lost with the Cavs, and Richelieu orders our Tanks to reinforce the Cavs.

Our Cavs are forced to ride, into the depreciated rail way station, where they barricade themselves. Well at least 3 of our Cav brigades, for 2 brigades were gone in the slaughter, in the streets. Our Tanks now make their way, to reinforce the Cavs. However, 1 Tank unit gets lost and find themselves surrounded, in the same railway complex. Tanks then begin to explode one by one. RPG’s come flying into the station and the Tank commanders attempt to escape, using one of the adjacent side streets. “Move out, move out”, scream the commanders. Lamentably, there on the tight streets, they encounter a channeled killing zone. The streets have been blocked off and our Tanks make a wave of fire, as the Koreans finish them off.

Meanwhile, back in the railway station, Korean Marines make an all out assault, to finish off our Cavs. A fierce battle begins, as our pinned down Cavs, organize a 360x defense of the complex. Our Cav soldiers fight bravely and take out several Marine firing positions. The fight in the railway ensues for days, as our Tanks continue to face heavy resistance in the city, facing off against Korean Infantry.

Richelieu orders our Mechanized Infantry to support out Tanks in the street battles. At the same time, more Tanks are poured onto the fray. The Korean troops are reported to be in the ancient Coliseum, where the local Cheju Lions play football/soccer. Our Bombers now swoop in and unleash heavy ordinances, completely blowing up the stadium. Unfortunately, the reports were incorrect, there was nobody in there. They are scattered throughout the streets, but with overwhelming numbers, our Tanks and M.I. are able to suppress the 2 Korean Infantries. Killing them and then running over their bodies, as we head straight into the railway station, where the last of the Korean troops remain.

Our Bombers continue to pound the defenders, but all they are hitting are civilians. The houses in Cheju, are made mostly of light-wood structures and the fires rage uncontrollably, swallowing up whole residential neighborhoods. Civilians wander throughout the fighting; an old man and some boys huddle around a fire built in an old barrel, within sight of our troops.

Back in the railway station, a mass number of troops have been killed. 2 of our brigades have been eliminated, while killing 1 Korean Marine brigade. Whole sections of the railway have fallen, to the 1 remaining enemy Marine brigade, as they continue to breach our bogged down remaining Cavs. In the darkest of hours for our Cavs, however appeared the booming guns, of our Renault Tanks. The Marines are sent scattering, where our Cav troops take their revenge and finish them off. The final Korean troops are defeated in the railway and Cheju becomes French territory.

The battle and aerial bombardment, took out around 112,000 civilians. They are quite upset at our troops and some shout obscenities, at our soldiers. There are independent reporters, recording the anti-French demonstrations, but their videos are quickly rounded up by French Military Censors. Instead, back in France, only the sights of Korean children handing over flowers and kissing our troops, are shown on TV. It’s quite effective, as anti-war marches have been sparsely populated, throughout the country.

During the battles for Cheju and Kaesong, our Cavs have been beaten down extensively. Napoleon now demands that, “all Cavs are to used as Military Police only. They will no longer be seeing any action.” The age of our glorious Cavs has come to a bloody end.

Sail to Ulsan (oil city):
At the same time as the Cheju battle began, 4 Tank, 2 M.I. Companies, were loading up in Transport Assault Ships in Larsa. They are escorted by a Battleship, which will also provide heavy gun support. They are to land in the Plains, just south of Ulsan. Due to the risk of this plan, the Korean citizens in Larsa are left without radios, or telephones. We are worried about them telling their compatriots, about our secret plans.

With Cheju secured, Richelieu rides into the Central Plaza amiss a large, but silent crowd. He makes his way, onto the Palace, which is now heavily guarded by our troops. From there he calls Charlemagne;

“Yo, hurry up and get down here, also don’t forget to bring some Tanks, ha ha.”

“Is the road from Kaesong to Cheju secured?”, asks Charlemagne.

“Sure, why not. The “March to Seoul” needs to be planned out.”

“OK, I’m on my way.”

Charlemagne, with a massive amount of Tanks and MI’s make the long trip to Cheju from Kaesong. Along the way however, they get an unpleasant surprise. BOOOOOOM!!!, a large explosion hits one of our Tank columns. Korean Infantry and Conscript (Spearmen) brigades, were waiting in the weeds of the grasslands to ambush us. 1 Tank company is left in ruins, but the rest of the force, quickly rebut the Koreans and kill the cowards. Charlemagne is incensed, that the road was unsecured, as he reaches the Palace in Cheju he is fuming. You can almost see smoke, coming out of his nose.

“Hey, what took you so long?”, asks a happy, comfortable Richelieu.

“F.U., that damn road was not secure. I specifically asked you and you said it was”, says Charlemagne very red in the face.

“Calm down, I never said such thing. In fact, I don’t remember you asking anything, about any road.”

“Grrrrrrr, I’ll make sure Napoleon hears about your conduct. It is completely unacceptable.”

“Run to daddy, you little………..”

“What? Say it louder I can’t hear you”, demands an irate Charlemagne.

“Clean your ears out then”, responds mockingly, Richelieu.

The Generals approach each other, in a mad-dogging stare down, neither blinks. The colonels rush in and separate the men, as an embarrassing situation for our military is avoided. Napoleon is told of the situation and in a conference call, yells at each General;

“Ya‘ll need to stop acting, like a bunch of little bee-yotches. We are fighting the Koreans, not each other. You all know, about the story of Gen. Fronsac. Don’t think, that it can’t be done again.”

“But, but……….”

“No buts, you candy a**** prepare for Wonsan and then Seoul. The true battles have yet to begun. It is now time, to be working together.”

“Yes sir”

“Yes, Mr. President”

Charlemagne and Richelieu in Cheju, agree to work together for the good of France. However, Charlemagne is still not ready to completely trust Richelieu. On the other hand, Richelieu thinks Charlemagne, is planning to take over the position, of Major General. The level of mistrust is quite high, but now the planning stage, for the “March to Seoul” has arrived.

Cheju captured, Koreans in the mountains dying. The war effort is going GREAT!



IBT: Back in the North Iroquois Ocean, a Japanese Sub attempts an attack, on one of our Battleships. But their torpedoes, actually get stuck in their bay. The Sub explodes by itself, ha ha. Their machines are quite ancient and no match for our glorious Navy.

Breaking News:
“Betrayal!!!”, scream the members of the Nationale Assemblée, as they scold Napoleon for dealing with the English. In London the announcement was made at mid-day, the English allied with the Chinese and declared war on the Americans, Russians and finally they declared war on us. They had taken our technology and stabbed us in the back. The tech deal was done in secret, but now rumors about it were starting.

“We need an independent investigation, into Napoleon’s dealings with England”, scream the commies from the P.C.F.

“No investigation is needed, it was a simple betrayal by the English. We should have never trusted them”, yell back, the Napoleon loyalist, in the U.D.F.

“And the rumors about the technology deals, I wonder if they are true”, the center-left M.S.F., gets in the mix.

The heated argument continues, but nothing can be proven against Napoleon. Then suddenly, everyone quiets down, as they see the Admirals of the Navy, run into the building whispering something, in Napoleon’s ear. Everyone tries to listen , but to no avail. Napoleon eyes turn a bright blood-shot red, as he approaches the center stage and speaks;

“I have now received the news from our Admirals, a declaration of war has been declared on us by the Iroquois.”

“Whoa!”, is the reaction of the crowd, as the people in the Assemblée are stunned.

“It appears, they too have allied themselves with the Chinese. Well I say, NO MORE. The buck stops here and this time, the Iroquois will pay. How dare the backwater, hell-hole nations of the Feminin Continent, challenge us. If war is what they want, then war is what there going to get.”

“YAHHHHH!!!, DIE BASTARDS, DIE”, scream the members of the Assemblée, as they quickly forget about the secret deals, with England. Napoleon is actually very happy, the idiot Iroquois declared war. Now he can keep the population, still very occupied and distracted. The Iroquois, have also declared on the Russians and Babylonians. The reason Napoleon wants war with them, is because they are located right across the Iroquois Ocean (the purple country), a very easy target for France. Besides we’ve always wanted a footprint in the Feminin Continent.

Ha! Funny!

This is a great slaughter. They deserve it. SCHISKABOB THEM!!

This is quite a complicated war now :S

I guess this is a great game you're playing Anyway, it's still brilliant storytelling

This is one long story. But it's really good.

Keep it up, man!

Great stuff Kaos
