Chapter 1

Cambridge Offensive

Before London fell, Winston Churchill refused to retreat and chose to fall with London. He ordered the Royal Guards to retreat with King George VI to Manchester for asylum and safekeeping, while Queen Elizabeth along with her daughters escaped in New Zealand. Winston believed that England's soul rests within the Royal Family. By July of 1941 Winston Churchill has assembled the Order of Saint Gloriana with plans of a massive counter-offensive. On September 1941 London was fully seized by Nazi and Winston Churchill was captured. He was court-martial in Berlin then executed.

Late December, 1941.

London, once great kingdom, now under fire and reduced to rubble caused by air raids, artillery fire, and small skirmishes. Nazi barged in Her Majesty's doorstep. Buckingham Palace is now filled with Nazi flags, Insignia and propaganda. London has fallen, but England refused to surrender. Nazi holds the line from Cambridge to Oxford.

Location: Nottingham Base

An Officer came to General Montgomery's office to report. "General Montgomery, the Nazis are slowing their advances and has set up a defensive line from Cambridge to Oxford."

General Montgomery stood up then said. "It's time. Send a message to the front line of Peterborough."

Location: Peterborough defensive line.

"Ma'am a telegraph was sent." Orange Pekoe exhausted from running from one room after the other.

In the Telegraph are orders from high command that approves a two-pronged attack to London. But before that will happen the Order of Saint Gloriana must recapture Cambridge and Oxford.

"I see, finally, the Order of Saint Gloriana will commence its first offensive." Said by Darjeeling after which she sipped her tea.

"Ma'am, supplies have just arrived along with our new tanks." Said by Orange Pekoe.

"Oh my, after several delays they've completed my tank." Darjeeling while looking at the window

"Yes ma'am, they are calling it the Churchill Mk. VII." Said by Orange Pekoe.

"A fitting name for our Iron coffin. Don't you think… Orange Pekoe." Said by Darjeeling with a smug

With nervousness Orange Pekoe added "Let us hope that will not happen to us."

The next day. 0300 HRS.

Morning is still dark but everyone knew that soon there will be light. Saint Gloriana already begun the assault and their estimated time of arrival in Cambridge is about 30 minutes. Due to heavy resistance Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen just arrived at Cambridge. Most men are exhausted and supplies are to arrive high-noon the day after.

"Do you know the saying. Strike the iron while its hot." Said by Darjeeling.

"And this is a good opportunity Ma'am." Said by Pekoe while preparing to load a round.

"Commence bombardment." Calmly said by Darjeeling in her radio.

Artillery rained down crippling their defenses.

"Advance!" ordered by Darjeeling.

Matilda Tanks rushed in with infantry but before they got beyond the Nazi Defensive lines they were intercepted by Panzer IVs and Nazi Infantries.

"Oh my, looks like Erika just woke up." Said by Darjeeling.

Continued fire-fighting and tank battles occur. Matilda tanks left and right were being destroyed by the Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen, but, for Darjeeling all sacrifices are necessary in order to liberate London. However, they are on open fields, which makes the Matilda easy targets for the enemy tanks not only that but Infantries are pinned down with little to less cover. An apartment up ahead has MG-42 gunners stationed. Darjeeling called in reinforcements but she knew that it would take long before they arrive.

Darjeeling ordered to cover the fields with smoke grenades so that they may advance. Seconds after a large smoke was formed and the men advanced within the smoke. To Conserve ammunition, Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen held their fire. For 5 seconds, silence broke out at the field.

Darjeeling opened the hatch and shouted. "For Queen and Countrymen!" A calm and elegant Darjeeling that we know is now a battle hardened maiden. The Order of Saint Gloriana charged thru the front line without fear of death. On the minds of these soldiers they would rather lose their lives than lose everything they love. Darjeeling's Churchill took aim at the machinegun nest inside the apartment then open fired.

Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen was pushed back into the urban side of Cambridge. This will make Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen's tanks hard to maneuver thus making a secondary defensive line hard for them. Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen have no choice but to set up defensive perimeter within the University of Cambridge.

Saint Gloriana would have a hard time for their tanks to cross since before they enter the University of Cambridge they must first cross River Cam which is connected by three bridges. Before they come close to the bridges they must cross the paddocks or open fields.

Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen garrisoned two university buildings. Darjeeling's plan was to divide the force into two, the main force will charge thru the bridge up north assaulting one of the building while the second force will distract the enemy forces at the second building so that Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen can't focus on a single target. Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen's tanks are already at a minimum.

"Ma'am, why don't we call in artillery support." Asked by Orange Pekoe.

"Do you know the saying, that the bridges we burn lights our way? Well we don't want to set fire to it now." Replied by Darjeeling.

"I don't think that saying applies here Ma'am.," Orange Pekoe replied after which she lets go a small sigh.

Darjeeling notices that Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen is already low on ammunition, since they are acting a little careful when shooting even on the machineguns.

"We take the university, we retake Cambridge men!" Darjeeling over the radio. A large shout by the infantries on the ground as they charge in the bridge. About 20 minutes has passed and they overran the first building. Darjeeling ordered the second force to advance. Forcing Schwarzwald Kampfgruppen's infantry in the second building to retreat. After 40 minutes, they've successfully captured Cambridge.

Over the radio an officer addressed Darjeeling. "Ma'am, the enemy is on the run and we've successfully capture Cambridge University."

"A job well done." Replied by Darjeeling. "But, victory comes once we burn the fascist flags over the towers." She added. "Yes Ma'am!" replied by the officer. Seconds later Darjeeling received another call over the radio.

A large and noisy voice started to speak "Good Morning Ma'am, we've successfully recapture Oxford Ma'am!"

"Thank you for your successful report." Replied by Darjeeling then a smashing sound can be heard before ending the transmission. "What a reckless fellow that girl is." Darjeeling said to herself.

Darjeeling opened the hatch and sipped her tea then asked Orange Pekoe. "Orange Pekoe, what do you think Erika would feel about this."

Location: Buckingham Palace. 0700 HRS.

Erika just woke up at Queen Mary's Bedroom inside Buckingham palace. She sits down at her bed then rubbed her eyes after which she stretches her arms up high. She got off the bed while fixing her hair. She is wearing a gray camisole and a pleated skirt. She prepares herself a steamy bath after which she dresses up and wears her officer's uniform.

She then proceeds to her study grabbed a pencil and started to write a letter. Not even 5 minutes has passed when an Officer named Leila Rou comes barging in.

"What's the meaning of this Leila!" Erika quickly lost her temper.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, but I have reports from our advance team." Replied by Leila.

"This better be important!" Angrily replied by Erika.

With a worried look, Leila replied. "Ma'am, I have reports that Saint Gloriana has recaptured Cambridge and Oxford and are setting up a full-scale attack here at London."

With a loud shout, Erika said "Was!" After which she snapped her pencil in two and banged her right fist at the table and said "Nein!"

End of Chapter 1.
