General Bismarck stood motionless like a stone in the fierce wind and rain. Thunder echoed throughout the valleys of Berlin not from the storm above but from Persian tanks and Calvary as they charged toward the city. As Persia’s invading force rolled into view just over the hazy horizon, Bismarck couldn’t help but think of the events that had transpired between his beloved country of Germany and the enemy that drew upon him.
Relationships between Germany and Persia had a history of tense moments where both nations stood at the brink of total war where both observed the others move and responded like a giant game of chess. This kind of relationship evolved into what many historians called The Icy War for although during the years of 1901 and 1953 no weapons were fired, relationships were icy enough to lead the two largest and most powerful nations of the world into a full scale arms, technology, influential and diplomatic races unlike ever seen before. As many diplomats around the world urged Germany and Persia to sit down and resolve their issues, neither of the two would come to terms. The two superpowers shared a large continent and both claimed that the other was opposing on their ancestral holy land.
The Icy War continued in this way until the horrific year of 1955, when Persia lacking the strategic resources of aluminum to produce their newly discovered technological weapons, demanded an enormous tribute from Germany in return for peace. Bismarck, Germanys great chancellor who had ruled the German people with a soft and loving hand for much of their history was torn in how to respond to the Persian demands. He consulted with his military tacticians and after much deliberation, Bismarck ordered the mobilization of Germany’s armed forces. At the same time, Germany’s diplomats gave Persia their response in a full declaration of war. Bismarck felt it necessary to make a statement to the world and his people that Germany would not be bullied or pushed around. He called to arms of the German people and hinted that the war would not end until the last drop of Persian blood was spilt.
The Bloody War as it was called, began by an upsetting series of military defeats to Germany. Season after season the Persians poured drove after drove of troops over the border into German lands capturing and razing cities as they went. Bismarck ordered the deployment of all German troops to the front lines to repel the Persian invasion. Conscripts of young draftees headed east along the German railway system to reinforce their fighting countrymen. Losses on both sides were extremely heavy but the front line remained in tact.
Xerxies, the Persian king, was informed by a spy of a developing situation. Germany had poured almost every available unit east to fight on the defensive front line leaving all territory and cities west extremely vulnerable to invasion. Bismarck had concluded that if there was a sea invasion, he could repel it using his modern railway system. What he did not count on was the enormity of the invasion force that Xersies assembled to invade on Germany’s western coastal border thus splitting Germanys fighting force into two parts.
Bismarck immediately ordered his forces to split into two parts sending half of his men west to repel the sea invasion while ordering the remaining force to dig in and hold back the Persian eastern advance.
After 3 seasons of bitter fighting, reports began to trickle in that many of Germanys forces had taken such heavy casualties and damages that they were forced to retreat on all fronts towards the interior city of Berlin to regroup and repair. Bismarck knew the Persians would follow the German army all the way to Berlin capturing everything along the way which they did as they captured more German cities and brought them under Persian control. Bismarks troops made it safely to Berlin to heal and repair their equipment but it was not long before the enemy was upon them.
The Persian tanks drew ever closer and encircled Berlin. Bismarck stood motionless as his men fortified behind the city walls. The rain had let up a bit and visibility was now clear enough or Bismarck to see clearly five divisions of Calvary and roughly six divisions of Persian tanks waving their green flag in Xersies honor. The great German army had been reduced to 4 divisions of infantry and only a limited amount of artillery units remained. The German troops were afraid but still Bismark stood as a stone in the wind against all odds.
Suddenly just over the horizon at the moment the first Persian tank division opened fire, something caught Bismarck’s eye. He studied it for a moment before he realized what he saw and with great joy his stone like face became the face of a victorious general. Just behind the Persian advance, the forces of the third most powerful nation of the world, India, had landed 8 divisions of marines to aid Germany in their war effort against Persia. It had taken a bit of persuasion on Bismarck’s behalf, but India had promised its forces in a mutual protection pact with Germany just 5 seasons prior. That stormy day marked the end of the great Persian advance into German territory as the whole of their fighting force was destroyed with German troops who craved for revenge.
Persia never again saw the might she displayed during her glory days of The Bloody War as many German cities reverted back to Bismarck due to Germanys powerful culture and as German forces rebuilt and laid an iron fist for the first time upon Persian lands, Xerxies sued for peace, but Bismarck was out for blood. However, after sacking several Persian cities, Xerxies once again sued for peace which Bismarck remarkably agreed for he knew that from then on Germany had the upper hand over Persia thus Persia became known as Germany’s B**CH or the rest of time.
