Chapter 4

Scepter of Darkness

Summary: Harry had a completely different experience of childhood. The wizarding world, would have been unprepared and caught completely unaware by a Potter who had mastered the underworld and the way of manipulation. They never got a chance he traveled back in time to increase his powers.

Helltanz's notes: This is an alternate history most dates have some historical basis; this is not what really happened, also as aforementioned this is an alternated history, the German's technological advancement is not over powered, they have two sources Asran (Harry), who has knowledge of future technology, and Sehkmet who is a member of a vastly technologically superior race who have a fetish for destruction. Also the mainstay of the Order's military branch is the air corp., with rest being either Navy or Special ops, as opposed to a nation's military which is more army (Tanks and infantry) than anything else. Also this story hasn't really gone into any meaningful character interactions besides the Four Rulers, points if you know where I got that from, (Grindelwald, Sehkmet, Hitler, and Asran), as well as the brief meeting scenes, for the main reason the initial chapters are to handle World War two and how the world is changing because of intervention.

Chapter Begin

Introduction

"The war was going well, my Order was fruitful and growing but I digress, and now divulge what was occurring.

In thirty nine the winter war started, Soviet troops marched against Finland, in my original timeline it was a blow against the Red army believed ability, and may have contributed to operation Barbossa.

Shortly after the war began in November, I believe it was October fifth; I extended the offer of military assistance in the conflict citing Germany's alliance with the Soviet Union, Stalin reluctantly agreed.

Three wings of jet aircraft and two helicopter squadrons and two (Orden designed) submarines support were dispatched and then stationed via a Shangri-la in the Gulf of Finland. The Finnish army was rather an easy target being so small with only thirty tanks; most got taken out in one swoop in the first wave of airborne attacks using the CBU-97 cluster munitions.

Despite initial resistance by Motti tactic utilizing troops of the Finnish army, the tactic faltered against low yield thermobaric weapons coordinated with thermal imaging, gave a good bit of help to the poor Red Army commanders.

Orden jets butchered the poor Finns propeller driven planes giving the Red bombers clear paths, and when Norway attempted to send aid the 2 Order's subs launched Cruise Missile strikes, making the shipments vanish.

The next time the order would target Norway's forces was during the German invasion of Norway. The Battle of Suomussalmi whcih in the original timeline was a horrible loss for the Red army, was nothing at all this time around other than a turkey shoot wher Order helicopter gunships massacred the Finnish troops.

Finland capitulated in mid January and was absorbed into the Soviet Union. Stalin was pleased by the success.

February sixteenth, HMS Cossack was destroyed by Orden jet fighters after it attempted to run the Altmark aground; Germany scolded the Norwegian government for making an Order save a ship under their protection.

The campaign against Norway began in April. April seventh the Order fighters struck the fortress Oscarsborg, destroying the 280 milimeter Krupp guns Aron and Moses clearing the way for German warships.

HMS Warpspite was to suffer a similar fate along with the rest of the British flotilla, devasted by a flurry of missiles.

May tenth the battle of France, Order aircraft launched a feint attack against the Maginot line, other aircraft hit key French military targets, while the German Heer marched throught the low countries Tiger II sees extensive action and proved to be far to powerful against Allies tanks.

Heavy bombing by Order and Luftwaffe air craft of Sedan prior to the arrival of the army. May 26 the Dunkirk evacuation began it would end two day later, it ended two day earlier than in my original timeline.

Paris falls to German hands on tenth of June, four days earlier than original timeline. June HMS Devonshire destroyed by German U boat U-66, using advanced ordinance, Mark 48 torpedo, supplied, and designed for German production, jointly by Sehkmet, Order, and German scientists.

June Eighteenth General Charles DeGaulle broadcasts from London, calling on all French people to continue the fight against Nazi Germany: "France has lost a battle. But France has not lost the war." In counter point Hitler makes a speech refute the claim and states that France lost the war before it even began, and that DeGaulle is coward hiding behind the English Monarch George the VI. France surrenders to Germany, June 21st nineteen forty.

July third British Naval units are partially succesful in seizing ships of the French fleet anchored in the Algerian ports of Oran and Mers-el-Kebir, German and Thule society troops prevent total seizure, coordinated strikes by U-boats inflict damage to United Kingdom ships.

September seventh the Blitz begins, German and Orden aircraft inflict heavy bombing against London. The twenty seventh I witnessed the signing of the Tripartite Pact. Battle of Britain, England suffers heavy air casualites to German Fockewulf jet fighters, the losses are as bad as eighty percent of the British Air Force.

Under orders and guidance by the Order, General Ion Antonescu, recruited into the order in nineteen thirty one, takes control of Romania.

Forty one came with Soviet Union joining the Axis, via signing the tripartie pact, as well as the induction of cold war, previous timeline, equivalent jet fighters, the order spy sattelite network construction is begun.

Germany invades Greece, sixth April, Yugoslavia is still a member of Axis powers, coup failed, fourteen days later, twenty April, Greece capitulates.

May twentieth German Battleship Bismarck destroyes HMS Ark Royal and HMS Hood, the battleship sustains only minor damage.

November 10 - In a speech at the Mansion House in London, Winston Churchill promises, "...should the United States become involved in war with Japan, the British declaration will follow within the hour."

Hitler requests we, Gellert, Sehkmet and myself to assist Japan and Italy in upgrades, additionally preparations for operation Midgarsormir begin.

December 7 the day which will live in infamy Japanese Navy launches a surprise attack consisting of two full regiments on the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor, thus drawing the United States into World War II.

Febuary of nineteen forty two Order assists Japanese attack Austraila in preparation for Operation Midgarsormir the same year Germany begins producing convential missiles. In addition Japan receives additional assistance, plans are made that upon the completion of Unit 6 it will be assigned to assist Japan.

German submarines begin to 'terminate with extreme prejudice' all allied ships in the Atlantic. Order continues to only target convoys. The prescence of Jet fighters leads to what would have been allied victories to be defeats.

In preparation for the US Manhatan project, first Nuclear test, the Brazilian port and capital Rio di Janero is and attacked and destroyed by naquadah bomb, the officialy stated reason is that Brazil was an enemy of the reich, earlier Brazil had declared war on Germany for the sinking of a Brazilian ship.

The US government now believes that Germany has Nuclear weapons, and seeks to speed up their own program, the same day the channel is heavily shelled, Orden Dinar IV Railgun batteries, and missiled, V-3 (German) and Sledgehammer (Orden multiple launch platform multi role missile), by shore emplacements in preparation for a second air offensive. At present time Operation has just now commenced. I will resume my tale from where we left off, some time shortly after the initial Indian offesive."

Asran sat on the command chair of UNIT five as Sledgehammer missiles launched from ventral emplacements. The bridge of the land battleship, as the Germans had taken to calling the UNITs, was much calmer than its sea borne brethren.

Missile and air strikes were coordinated with the German ground advance by operations control officers manning computer terminals, something the German military had yet to reach en masse, a few of their new warships were Bismarck being the first, though most of the U-boats were outfitted, the Germans were getting into nuclear subs now. Among those for example was the new Kassel class fleet attack sub that was scheduled to be launched in a few weeks.

"Status Herr Asran?" inquired the head SS officer.

He rolled his eyes "They're armed with .303 Enfield at best against assault rifle equipped Germans who are supported by a very large…" a series of cannons fired from the UNITs turrets. "Mobile fortress, how do you think the English are doing? And any way I'm hardly playing fair I sent two Ifrits and a Marid to loosen their resolve."

Among other things Gellert might have well been able to control demons as well as, never allow the SS to hear, king Solomon but Asran held dominion even in this time over the Djinn as a whole.

"I thought we were calling it a land Battleship?" inquired the SS officer, ignoring the fair play remark.

He scowled. "It's a UNIT." Replied Asran using the 'proper' name.
"Yes but land battleship sounds much better." Returned the SS officer

Returning his attention to the display he spoke again. "To answer your question the English are in full retreat. Leopards are clearing the path."

"Thank goodness they do not require roads."

Right now the German Army really only needed to worry about was victory sickness in the time traveler's opinion. "They need some stable terrain." Corrected the death eyed knight.

"Herr Asran should I ask the English if they would like to surrender."

Shaking his head he answered with a smirk. "Not yet, I want them to understand that they are going to lose, that they stand no chance. Launch another wave of Sledgehammer missiles."

"Yes sir." Responded the Fire control officer.

The multipurpose missiles erupted from VLS emplacements streaking over the horizon on the tips of the missiles the camera's began to transmit data and relayed that information to the FCS from whence they would be guided to their target.

Obviously the English had seen them coming and had dug in significantly the forces responsible for India were however little match however they were stalling as best they could given their resources.

India fell to German, well Reich, hands in under three weeks, two weeks three days and several hours, to be precise.

Gandhi was an interesting fellow, Asran had thought by breaking into the prison he would have found the English had locked up sympathizers to the cause, not passive resistors to British rule, oh well.

In one week the attack on China's western border would begin.

Sehkmet had already arrived and was handling the oversight of India, modernization in the cities, and such.

The other Nations in the Indian Ocean area were falling quickly to regular Axis troops with support from Orden Air squadrons.

The reason for the week wait was for the air campaign, which shied away from attacking civilian areas, and for the use of tunneling through the Himalayas, via the use of a crystal technology, the crystals produced oxygen as a by product, as well as conquering Burma. Of course there was another reason the sweep through the middle east had added many eager young soldiers to the cause, but many more would be needed to fight this war the way it needed and to hold the territory that meant waiting for reinforcements.

The German high command was very impressed with the new territorial gains. Like the ancient Roman armies, the forces of the Orden led Reich troops had ordered roads built to facilitate transportation of supplies and relief, causalities had been minimal for the German army so far mainly thanks to the Order's long range, not to mention the use of magic, attacks which sapped the enemies' will to fight and the superior offensive and medical technology.

Asran looked over the border, Sehkmet's provision of Goa'uld construction technology was proving quite useful, especially with modifications. The nanites broke down the available material and modified its molecular structure to what it need to build the structures, the molecular changes couldn't be done with drastic changes, you couldn't use wood to make wheat, there was a limit of course.

Base construction was progressing it was not simply here either it was across the reich territory. The Grand Mufti was preparing his new army to reinforce the rest of their forces though it would take six months before the majority of those troops would be ready though in any case unlike earlier MI troops most would not end up going to hold the fort in North Africa while veteran German forces were either brought home for furlough or moved to this timeline's eastern front, which was vastly more pleasant than the previous timeline's.

Yes Arab and Persian troops were united, several Fatwas had been issued once most of the Middle East had been seized circa nineteen forty two, by different clerics.

The main premise was that the cause of the Axis was just and so on and that manner of thing. The key benefit of this was the number of troops, which were motivated by this declaration.

Motivated troops were being trained and some troops had already been deployed, while not much use in regards to naval or air forces the additional bodies were considered mildly useful for the Axis even if all they were doing was what amounted to glorified police duty in the North African Theater.

All that would change once the Mufti arrived to supplement the offensive force those troops would be fighting on the eastern front.

The invasion had gone off with out any problem; troops came spewing through the Himalayas, the tunnels had been widened enough for the tanks, UNIT five pushed up from the south through Laos and took Kunming.

The northern group took Kashi with in the first four days, the central took Lhasa at around the same time, and then reached and captured Urumqi within a week and a half.

Of course it was going so well because China had been ill prepared to face the Japanese much less the combined arms invasion.

Indeed the civil war and warlord states had barely been able to get the communists and nationalists to work together against the Japanese. People were getting sick of war and there were still pro German feeling remnants to work with

The end of the year saw the march to the sea, seeing the fall of most of western China, the Russians, well they might have wanted to help but they were a tad busy worrying about the UNIT on the border, good history may have allayed Stalin's fears of an attack but they were still a tad nervous about the mobile fortress next door.

Stalin had tried to fix his purging of military officers, after seeing the Orden's skill in action during the winter war, along with wanting his scientists to research faster.

But returning to the conquest of China, Chengdu, Nanning, Xi'an, Baotou, Lanzhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Macau and finally Hong Kong, now claimed by the Order, were the last three to fall before the new years. The Japanese had seized the Manchurian plain, but were in no position to move from it.

Beijing was being pounded by Orden air corp. almost daily though with carefully executed attacks.

It wasn't the only city both military positions and cities were being blasted by wave after wave of air borne death. Missile and emplacements were bombarding Shanghai, Hangzhou, Qingdao, and Tainjin by Orden forces in the East China and Yellow seas; it made Tojo jealous as hell Asran would imagine.

The British were nervous the Axis Empire stretched from Hong Kong to France, this was only on Eurasia of course not including Japan or its territories and conquests, or in Africa, most of the northern portion had fallen.

Asran looked out over the East China. Hangzhou had fallen earlier in the week it was mid July, now of nineteen forty four, message had been receive the Vampire project had been attacked if intelligence was to be trusted, and more than likely it should,

Dracula, as in the Dracula, was responsible, none of the officers had been killed but the project had suffered casualties.

Adolf was furious, as was Gellert, Sehkmet was, well, she just wanted an excuse to kill something or a lot of something. Asran, in order to allay Hitler's fear, had sent Radu, a prominent member of the Order from the original timeline and quite powerful vampire in his own right, to Berlin to assist in insuring the second facility didn't fall, obviously Radu was not the only member Asran had sent, that would not have been smart, assuming Dracula had been responsible, Grindelwald had stated Kemmler was going to so it should be fine.

Asran flicked his finger slicing a leaf that was falling some twenty meters away in half landing in the dry grass; by next week he would be in Shanghai. The campaign was nearing its end.

Soon enough they would be back in Europe and soon the next phase could begin at long last. This next portion of the plan had been inspired in some regards by the US Marshall plan that had occurred in the aftermath of Mankind's Second World War of the previous timeline though it was the rebuilding of infrastructure that Asran had in mind it was not the Soviets whom he would be worried about.

Asran stood in the Chinese capital, it was over; the middle kingdom had fallen.

The SS had rounded up all possible trouble makers and eliminated them, among those who had been captured were Mao Zedong.

It was August they had made good time, Shanghai fell then Qingdao, and then Jinan and Tianjin and then finally Beijing.

The remaining Chinese cities, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Taiyuan, had fallen to regular Axis troops.

Asran would remain in China for another four months to oversee matters, mainly industrialization, and pacification of the populous.

The Japanese would be reinforcing their borders with Russia, or to be politically correct the Soviet Union, Mongolia might or might not be invaded by one of the powers it all depended, it all depended on what happened. Hopefully the war would come to an end in forty five, there was no way Germany would lose, despite not having Inter continental missiles yet they had jets and subs capable of dealing nuclear death.

Restoration of the city would begin Drachenorden engineers would begin their rebuilding of the city while some resistance would be expected most of the forces had been accepted well enough.

Japanese bombings had stopped after all and the relevant 'home' problems had been addressed with the arrival of the well coordinated supply lines. Food supplies and clean water as well as blankets and other needs were now being addressed.

India had in the Damnation been nearly gutted China likewise had suffered extensively though over all had faired somewhat better though had still sustained significant casualties due to the high population densities in regions. Such regions attracted the enemy like moths to flame, unlike moths the enemy didn't combust when they got to close to them.

Chapter conclusion

Helltanz's notes: The use of low yield thermobaric weapons is in honor of Vorlon 666's work the Acension of the Scorpion Sorcerer. If any one knows where I can find a good politcal map of Eurasia and Asia, with all counrty borders I should be able to fix up the official sides for the story. I'm sorry I really wanted to flesh out the eastern Campaign but I've historical military fiction in detail once, might have been novel length but it was for the most part modern Urban combat, and from what my uncle tells me jungle combat is much different.

The Future: (besides Stargate differences borders will also differ in each future)

Benevolent Future: The Nazi succeed however Hitler dies and is replaced by a less Master race leader (Grindelwald dies as well unless people vote they want otherwise additionally Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)

Moderate Future: similar to our time but with the Nazi's still in power (Grindelwald will likely be alive though also Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)

Harsh Future the third Reich is victorious the culture Nazi Empire if this occurs will likely hold some similarities to the Dominion of Draka, it is likely rating will increase to M (Roosevelt will survive longer than in reality)
