Author's Note: Thank you all so very much for the wonderful reviews. I don't think that I've gotten so much feedback in a while. Hell, people even helped me with punctuation and word misplacement. That hardly ever happens!
You guys seemed to have liked Harry's speech. That's really amusing to me because I've never written a speech before in my life. I thought you guys/gals would hate it. But I suppose it's just beginners luck… hopefully. I don't want to be working for the Obama Administration at age 14, after all… spooky…
Note: This chapter is written in the Third Person Planetary, not Third Person Personal. Thus it is referring to all events in the planet's sense and not Harry's. That means that it is omniscient, meaning that the author knows everything that is going on in the story. In general it will be similar to War of the Wizards back in Chapter whatever. I don't remember the chapter name and since I'm writing this in school I can't access it either. Okay, now I'll get on with the overview of the aftermath of Harry's speech.
To say that the peoples of Earth had lost it would be an understatement. People all over the planet were going crazy over the revelation. Religious people were debating an action of god. Government officials had already started yelling at the Administration of the United States, now being run by the Vice President. The media, as expected, was having a field day.
After his speech Harry Potter had removed the Einherjar into orbit under stealth mode. He and half the ship had been getting their amusement by listening in on Earth's television broadcasts. Some of the messages were downright hilarious. Fox News, for example, couldn't get its head out of its ass and denounced Harry as an alien invader poised to slit Earth's throat. One of the anchors even made up a list of demands that Harry had never mentioned and tried to strike fear into all the members of society. Harry had promptly replaced Fox News Network with a screen saying "Sorry, we're so deep in our own bullshit that we can't even see daylight anymore. Please come back later when we figure out to reinvent the toothbrush."
The most drastic event happened in the Middle East, the Islamic Religion's power base. The Presidents of Saudi Arabia, Iran and Kuwait had announced their allegiance to Harry Potter. Since then almost half the Muslim World had claimed Harry as their own. He was, in the eyes of some, a messenger from God (Allah who is pretty much the same God as Christianity's God and Judaism's God). In other's eyes he was the revived Prophet Muhammad come back to lead the World into the stars. Almost sixty percent of the Muslim World had bowed down outside of prayer times to show their allegiance to the Final Prophet; not the Last Prophet, the Final Prophet.
Since the Arab Countries had announced their loyalty, fifty two other countries had joined them including Japan, Germany, Mexico, Nicaragua and Italy. The world was dividing into separate power states, one terrestrial the other stellar. The United States of America, now run by the Vice-President, had curiously not taken a side until almost a week after the announcement when it had been taken to Congress.
At a more personal standpoint, the people of Stargate Command had chosen their side. Rallying behind Former General Hammond, almost twenty SG-Teams and support units living beneath NORAD had sent a message of their allegiance to Harry's ship via SG-13. Jack O'Neill and General Hammond had already claimed full responsibility, not that it would ever matter if Harry's little coup failed. In England, the Magical Community had no idea what to do. On one hand Harry Potter had saved their world and on the other hand he may be working to undermine it now. The little sheep couldn't make their own decisions in this regard and left it up to their leaders at the Ministry of Magic. They, of course, had no idea what to do.
In total almost two billion people had joined Harry Potter's cause, directly or through their governments. Many of the anti-American countries agreed to follow the Ancient despite his having served in America's military. Perhaps that was the reason since he'd done so much to undermine the White House in a short period of time.
Only two countries had outright defied the Ancient, Korea and China. Both of the autocratic countries refused to believe Harry's speech or at the very least refused his rule. Both countries had since raised their military readiness to the Equivalent of DEFCON 2. The Hoplites had access to information no one else did so they were the only ones that realized what the Communists were doing. They'd already poised their armies to invade Hoplite-Allied Malaysia, Bangladesh, Japan and even Pakistan.
Harry stared at the holo-screen depicting the map of Asia. China and North Korea were painted in dark red to symbolize their hostility. Their army forces were highlighted yellow and were gathered at the borders of the Hoplite Allied Countries. He had sixteen hundred men on the ship that were combat-capable. If he wanted to stop a massacre he'd have to put his technologically advanced, but drastically outnumbered forces up against a three million man army. It didn't matter how good the technology was; the Hoplites didn't even have three million bullets on the ship. They only had ten strike-fighter aircraft and barely enough Armor to form a company. No matter how he did the math they couldn't win without either eliminating the government or bombarding the Chinese Armies from orbit. He shook his head slightly; Harry didn't want a massacre on either side.
The holo-screen rotated to show the North American Continent where the United States turned from gray to blue. America had allied itself it with the Hoplites. Quickly following were Canada, Britain and several other NATO Countries. Harry's eyes narrowed as he absorbed this information; if the human countries agreed to follow his orders then he would have an army capable of fighting the Chinese and Korean Invasion. NATO could form a one million man army if it brought out its entire armed forces but the Ancient disregarded that; he didn't need a million. The combat area was minimal with only a few corridors that bordered China being targeted. If the Communists wanted to invade Mongolia or India it would have been a completely different story. Bu the truth was the battlefields were in small countries where his forces had the advantage.
"Samos, get the leaders of NATO on screen for me," Harry ordered. "It seems we have a war to fight."
(End Chapter)
Well, I thought that that went rather well don't you think? I left a nice cliff hanger, probably got your minds thinking and I've still got another chapter to write. Isn't fighting Communists fun? No, war is never fun, I realize that. But hey! We're talking about words on a piece of paper here! We're talking about space ships and super-fighter aircraft that don't really exist! None of it exists! Yay me!
