Summoning the Greater Axis Pact
Axis 10 - Gra Valkas Empire Part 2
Mu, Battleship La Kasami
"W-What the..." At first the sight of burning figures falling from the sky came into view, when it had been speculated as Gra Valkas' Fighters, they were wrong, all their shapes told the obvious.
They were Alpha-3 air superiority fighters, coming down, fire covering their figure, the Joint Fleet of sixty had just gotten itself into a massive battle against Gra Valkas' Fighter-Bombers as most of their Marin Biplane fighters had quickly received massive amounts of damage.
The Gra Valkan Fighter-Bombers, the Sirius' quickly dove and dropped a bomb which hit Mu's frontal turret causing the turret to blow into an inferno of fire. "Ah! We've...severely underestimated their National Power..." Brendas muttered in complete shock as more bombers bombed the hell out of the Joint Fleet.
Before another bomb could hit, a eleven arrow-like figures quickly descended in all its glory before they quickly fired their weaponry. Light bullets strafed through and quickly ripped apart the Sirius dive-bombers in a completely stunning manner. The aircrafts quickly got close to the water before pulling up.
There were a hundred enemy aircraft against Mu's last batch of damaged fighters, they couldn't have won this battle. But with the sudden appearance of these fighters...
They might just win.
The newcomer fighters quickly shot out their missiles into separate targets as the sleek swept-back winged aircrafts quickly maneuvered themselves behind their foes and quickly decimated them with their bullets. More and more of Gra Valkas' aircrafts began to fall into oblivion.
The newcomers soon had cleared the skies of Gra Valkas' fighters, but not after losing some of their warships in the process.
Gra Valkas Empire, Gra Valkas Ship(GVS) Grade-Atlastar
"Sir...we are reporting that we no longer have Air Superiority..." An operator spoke to the Captain. Rockstar turned to the operator with questioning eyes.
"What? Those were two hundred of our finest aircrafts, against those backward nations, they should've easily destroyed them." He spoke in a highly interrogative manner, he was not going to lose his cool, that was not the way to assess such information. To be in denial is the worst case scenario for a renowned Captain like him.
"W-Well..."
"Nevermind, cancel the attack, without Air Superiority we will not be able to show them our force."
"Understood, sir." The Grade-Atlastar had quickly withdrawn out of the battle of the sea, without much air cover, they were not going to be able to play the tide of battle to their favor.
1st Kriegsmarine Fleet 'Das Pakt', KMS Reichsdrachen
"...All enemy fighters down huh?" The Admiral looked towards the horizon. "Hmm, recall all aircraft to carriers. Now."
"Understood. Carriers, this is Reichsdrachen, recall all fighters back to carrier. I repeat. Recall all fighters back to carrier and prepare another for standby." The carriers soon recalled all fighters via communications, the operator soon turned to the Admiral.
"What now sir?"
"...Contact their Mainland, split the Main Battle Fleet into four, I want ships to patrol and cover this strait."
"Understood, sir." The four Super Dreadnoughts, the Reichsdrachen, the Reichsadler, the Hindenburg and the Ludendorff began to split their fleet with Japanese and Italian ships within joining up with their detached fleet force.
"Isn't 200 ships a bit...overkill?" An operator came in as the Admiral simply looked at him dead in the eyes.
"No, boy. From our latest intel they have more than a thousand two hundred or more ships ready for battle, these ones are obsolete I'm sure of that, how many would you think they can throw at us?" The operator's eyes came into shock.
"W-What? How is that-"
"Gra Valkas Empire claims to be the strongest nation in their world, they're not bluffing when they say this when they have such a navy for one nation like themselves even after a few years, I want you to not underestimate them, even if one of our Destroyers can take on ten of theirs, Quality and Quantity will be needed, that is why we have resumed the Guided Missile Destroyer, Cruiser and Battlecruiser construction." The young lad can only gulp down his words as the man spoke to him.
1200 ships and possibly more? If it isn't farfetched on how many ships they could build, but with the number of material and government, they weren't able to even match that number with a 460 ship-sized Modern Fleet and possibly more to come and a handful of recommissioned historical museums. The battle to come was one that shall not be easy to be finished.
"Sir, their Grade Atlastar Battleship has left the battle." Using constant information from the satellites, they were able to constantly monitor their enemies and allies-alike. With more than 50 allied-controlled satellites, they can say that they will be sure on who will win with the right intel.
"Greet the surviving fleet, tow them back to shore." The Admiral ordered. "Oh...and do retaliate when fired upon, this ship is named after the late Kanzler and I'll be damned on whoever decides to damage it." Admiral Wilbur had been close friends with that man and having lost him, devastated the hell out of him as he considered him and Victoria the only family he had left after his child and wife had passed away in an accident. That was a reason why Kanzlerin Victoria had assigned him to this particular ship instead of any other. She was the last jewel in his whole world and the fact she entrusted him with this ship really meant a lot to him.
So if anything happens to her, they'd be getting a word from the entirety of the German Joint Battle Fleet. "Aye aye, Admiral!" The man soon began to make his way towards his quarters to have some rest.
10-Country Joint Fleet
"W-What is that?" Small dots came into sight as a transmission came in.
"This is the KMS Reichsdrachen of the 1st Kriegsmarine Fleet 'Das Pakt' part of the 1st Main Battle Fleet of the Axis, we are ordered to tow back the 10-Country Joint Fleet back to Cartalpas, does anyone copy? Over." The transmission ended as the ships were easily as big as La Kasami or even bigger. Strange objects by their ships soon extended before a weird aircraft came out and flew above them. There were dozens of them, lifting off.
"R-Respond to them!" Captain Miniral yelled at the operator.
"T-This is Battleship La Kasami of Mu's Mechanical Fleet, over! I read you, R-Reichs-drachen!"
"Understood, any damages to your rotors? Over."
"N-No, but perhaps other ships are in need of assistance. Over."
"Copy that. We will commence towing, tell them not to shoot. Otherwise we'll shoot them ourselves." The transmission ended. But it was too late. 2km in, the Holy Mirishial Empire's Light Cruiser had taken it as the Gra Valkas' ship and fired its cannon.
"NO!" The cannon shots soon hit the flagship and caused a dent. "W-What?" It was menacing to see that a Light Cruiser of the HME was unable to penetrate the flagship of the German Kriegsmarine.
"You have been warned. We will only sink that ship. Order them to disengage or I will order every ships of this a hundred ship flotilla to disintegrate all of you!" There was no mercy in that voice, the operators soon got out and communicated to the other ships to not shoot. The yells were incoherent as that soon meant some ships fired at them. "...Perhaps I wasn't nice enough...but no matter, none shall know of your disappearance."
1st Kriegsmarine Fleet 'Das Pakt', KMS Reichsdrachen
"Order the guns to fire at the ships except Mu's, Anionnrial's and Argata's…" The eight 50.6cm cannons began to rotate as a full broadside was ordered. Other ships did the same and with the fact that they were all not too...compact of a formation, sparing one from the onslaught was easy enough. "Fire." The massive 506mm calibered cannons fired one by one and instantly demolished their targets with one 506mm shells each time, firing one gun at a time, recalibrating while the other turrets fired only a single gun before switching targets. All ships had known who is who after learning of their photos provided by the Ambassadors.
"If they are to turn hostile, this is a file to differentiate which nation is which."
"Such information is quite useful, herr Aleksander, I'll keep it in mind."
"Heh...indeed it was useful." Each ships were sunk and none who fired succeeded to survive. Mu, Anionnrial and Argata ship crews were wide-eyed at those who fought against the Germans. Survivors were only a handful and all of them lost some part of their bodies. "Order the rescue of those...low-lives..." The damage done to the Reichsdrachen was nothing to be scoffed at and by his Admiral's order, the 'enemies' had been neutralized. "Heavy Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Fast Battleships and Light Cruisers, tow the remaining ships back to shore."
"Roger!" The voices came in. The Battlecruisers of massive sizes quickly got closer and threw a towline and had the crews attached said lines to their ships before the Battlecruisers and other warships began to drag those ships towards Cartalpas as Destroyers saved the lives of the survivors.
Holy Mirishial Empire, Port Town Cartalpas
After the fright of reports of more than a hundred ship-sized fleet entering the waters, the HME received a transmission from Mu to not engage said ships and to send a handful of fighters if they wish to. Soon, many citizens gathered around to find massive ships towing the remains of the Joint Fleet towards Cartalpas. "What huge ships..."
Bronze quickly forgot about the Grade Atlastar when he saw the ships that came into view, a 50 ship-sized fleet, it was made of what seemed to be possibly more than six Battleships. Music came along as the sailors on board simply just cruised lazily along their ships, making sure everything was clean. The Reichsdrachen and the Hindenburg Super Dreadnoughts continued to make their bold march within the fleet.
The Germans soon docked and when they did, from the Super Dreadnought came a man with two bodyguards carrying guns on them. "I am Grand Admiral Wilbur von Bayern, I request an audience with the Holy Mirishial Empire as a Representative of the Axis Alliance." The ships outside were even bigger than what Mu had and possibly rivaled Holy Mirishial Empire's Battleships.
With reluctance and possibly a swallow of pride, a messenger of the Holy Mirishial Empire quickly ran to inform to his higher-ups, if they were able to sweep away a Gra Valkan Fleet then they might not want to make another enemy that can destroy a fleet that destroyed their 0th Magic Fleet.
2nd Main Carrier Fleet, Massive Five, IJN Asuka
The Asuka, translation to English being 'Flying Bird' or perhaps 'Tomorrow Fragrance' was a Zuiryuu-Class Carrier, the 2nd ship of the Class was tasked with basically monitoring the skies with all of her A36Ms and A37Ms, her B35A Naval Bombers equipped with either Homing Torpedoes that can be dropped from the sky and parachuted while it homes into a target set by the frontal sensor or numerous amounts of dumb and smart bombs, but also it was capable of bringing in cluster bombs for other use.
The Asuka was currently commandeered by Admiral Asuka Raijin, she was a woman of 36 years old, luscious brown hair with gleaming blue eyes, her hair was simply tied into a bun and placed under her cap, wearing a formal white uniform of the IJN, she had been under tutelage of the descendant of Isoroku Yamamoto, Ryusei Yamamoto who had been promoted to Grand Admiral of the IJN after the retirement of Grand Admiral Fiji Nagano and for the record, being so ambitious to obtain the rank of Rear Admiral in the age of 27 after the many war exercise participation, giving him a better understanding in anticipating enemy movements.
She was jealous of him of course, very jealous, but he was talented no doubt, he deserved that appreciation after all. Besides her Carrier were the third and fifth ship of the class, the Suiryu and Kiryu, the three Carriers were paired with a pair of old Battleships, the Yamato and the Musashi. They were of the Massive Five Fleet or as some of the locals called it, the Voltes V after a show that went for the long run and actually played out nicely in the earliest mecha anime. Playing along in Asia as one of the biggest hits, while Voltron played a part in Europe.
The Massive Five soon made a joke about playing the theme song when they are marching with it. It apparently got the approval of a lot of fans, soon causing the crew to actually adopt it as it seemed to fit in perfectly.
"Admiral Asuka! Message from the Top Brass!" The woman received a report from an officer as she opened it up.
"...Enemies are apparently appr-sound the alarm! Get me all the screen ships, the entire Seiryu Fleet, we are needed to garrison the waters of the mainland! There are reports of submarine sightings!"
"Y-Yes, ma'am!"
Anti-Submarine Warfare was one of the crucial things that the Seiryu Fleet excelled at and they were now needed even if the Gra Valkas possessed Kaidai VI Model Submarines, most Corvettes and Frigates would be able to simply lay some depth charges and hunt them down in Packs or send an Anti-Wolfpack which are Submarine-hunting Submarine packs.
The Seiryu excelled since they possess the lead ASW Ships, the Shimada-Class Destroyers, which are ASW-based Destroyers with little to no other occupations except screening and patrolling. The Yamato and Musashi had been far away from the shores of HME, thus they weren't spotted or sighted.
Their Screens were filled by Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers and Destroyers, with no Fast Battleships or Battlecruisers, they were merely to guard the three Super Carriers. The Battleships were only if the enemy Capital Ships got too close for comfort, the massive 46cm were no longer the largest caliber shells, but that didn't matter as they still pack an overly massive punch for a Capital ship.
The fleet detached from the Joint Carrier Fleet as the other Fleet had quickly notified them to get to the mainland and get rid of the Submarines, their ASW ships were already enough to deal with submarines.
GDR, Hamburg, Construction Planning Room
The Head of the Krupp Germaniawerft, Wilfred Friedrich Krupp, older cousin of Erika Reichs von Rhineland, formerly Louis Erika Friedrich Krupp Ernst had quickly gotten a new design for an Aviation Battleship and had proposed this to the higher brass. The ship would consist of instead one deck, it would have two that would be in a separate hull, the ship was to have two hulls connected with a smaller one in the middle with battleship guns, the ship would be basically a Catamaran, a twin-hulled watercraft that would move fast with less friction, the ship was imagined to be a lot taller than its predecessors, but the design was possibly still viable.
The turrets would be given three 406mm cannons, having three of them like most battleships and unlike the German's standard 4 turret x 2 gun design, the Command Tower would also act as a bridge for aircrafts to cross through, spacious enough for two to pass theoretically, it was supposed to have a width of 35 meters and a length of possibly 30 meters. The ship would possibly be a ground breaking design if possible with the fact that it can run two Nuclear Reactors that may be able to connect if one Reactor just went offline. "Yes yes, this would be a great design for a ship!" He soon stamped it, the ship was soon named 'WFK-Class Aviation Battleship' before it was sent.
The proposal would later be defined as 'A Crazy design, but so crazy it might just work, it did afterall possess an Angled Deck like most Aircraft Carriers, a design unable to copied onto the Aviation Battleships. The Armor on it as well was insane, but it might be one of the most reliable warship in the history of Aviation Battleships, however the design might be altered for future ships.
The to-be-built ship was soon named the KMS Wilfred Krupp in his honor of building the ship before followed by Fleet Commander names.
Mainland of GEN(Greater Empire of Nippon), 150km Southeast from Iwo Jima, Japanese Guided Missile Destroyer IJN Akan
"Captain! We're reading a Submarine in 150km Southeast! It's headed this way! No known submarines are in these waters! What are our orders, sir?!" A Japanese Operator yelled as the Captain of the Destroyer looked at him, dead in the eyes.
"Launch our Recon Craft! We need to know whether it matches any of our known comrades or our older models, if the latter, then it's most likely Gra Valkas', seeing how they are using our ZWK stockpile or what looked like it." The Operator nodded as the VTOL Reconnaissance unit, the Ka-525 Recon VTOL quickly took off with its payload of a 20mm autocannon with two ASW Bombs.
"This is Umidori! Lifting off!" The VTOL pilot reported as the co-pilot checked all the controls and the panels.
"System checked. Ready for lift off, let's get that bastard."
"Be careful, despite being based on our ZWK weapons, they might have added some AA guns on their submarine. But seeing how they're in the water, you should be fine." The VTOL soon gave them a thumbs up before lifting off.
"I need all ASW ships to sortie."
"Hai! This is IJN Akan to all Destroyers, begin sortie!" The on-board members of the Destroyers quickly took notice and began to sortie out, men coming back to their ships before in just a few minutes, the Destroyers began to set sail.
Off the coast of Iwo Jima, 147km Southeast from Iwo Jima, Gra Valkas Submarine GVS Black Moon
The Submarine GVS Black Moon was a proud Submarine of one of the newest designed ships to be able to stay underwater, a technology not many can match, the Axis wouldn't know what hit them. A few Japanese Destroyers were on course and floating, they had already planned a Convoy Interdiction war plan to blockade all trading routes and make the enemies spread out their fleets.
"Pitiful, Captain, they will never expect us and they will never know what will hit them." The Vice-Captain spoke towards his superior, a fox eyed man who was looking through the periscope.
"Heh, are we range?"
"Not yet, 5km until we reach effective firing range." A crew member informed the Captain.
"They could've been a useful puppet to our regime, but no matter, they shall fall and beg by their knees after we deal with them." Unknown to them, from above, a Japanese aircraft had been eyeing them.
Ka-525, Umidori, 50 meters above GVS Black Moon
"Taking photos." The co-pilot spoke up. The integrated camera system had quickly taken glimpse of the submarine, it was roughly an I-176 class, it was roughly 100 meters or more, the submarine was a cruiser submarine from the looks of it. "Can't believe that we're fighting basically ourselves."
"Yeah, really unbelievable, why not Ger-oh wait..."
"ZWK-era Germany would stand a chance with their Jets."
"They were unreliable."
"Resource Shortage."
"I...fine..." The pilot sighed at his co-pilot's comeback. "But still-"
"Don't go there...I'd just shoot you down again." The co-pilot deadpanned his comrade, who simply relented.
"This is IJN Akan, Umidori, you are allowed to engage, that is not our ship."
"Roger that." The two flew right above, looking at how the submarine moved, they intend to drop it within the expected course, using dumb ASW bombs, to decrease the use of expensive bombs, the dumb bombs came back into service.
"Steady, steady, expected route...gotcha." The two bombs dropped with a whistle.
GVS Black Moon
BOOM!
The whole submarine began to shake as the members went wide-eyed. "We're hit!" Water came gushing from the upper levers, it was obvious the explosion happened above them.
"How were we spotted!?" Unable to look above and the radar only suited for mostly Ships, the submarine didn't know what hit them. "Surface! Surface! They might've hit us from above-" The engine level exploded. "UGH!"
Many people screamed as the submarine's engine exploded and burst its flames throughout the submarine. "Abandon ship!" The submarine was taking water and had been immobilized by the engine's destruction. "Abandon ship!" The whole floor quickly began to climb towards the surface as the flooding got worse.
Submarine Recovery Ship, IJN Mika
The Submarine Recovery Ship, IJN Mika, a twin-hulled ship that had its middle used to recover sinking submarines or any small vessels that it might be small enough to be rescued or recovered. The Recovery Ship was armed with IJN Marine soldiers and armed with a helipad for SAR Helicopters, the Ka-525 had already returned to IJN Akan. By the time, they reached the ship, a few crew members had been floating by the service and was helped by a few rescue boats.
The two magnetic cranes quickly turned before lowering their magnets to basically pull the submarine up. The ship quickly pulled up the ship, with no hull that covered the middle, it was able to recover the submarine and pulled it up, barely missing the twin hull of the ship, the men were brought in for interrogation with the submarine confiscated due to the fact an armed submarine was not allowed in the area it was in.
The IJN Destroyers soon began to make way for the docks. The 100+ long submarine being towed as its hull continued to remain broken, but it was a necessary thing to do to analyze what exactly they are dealing with. At first hand, it might've looked like a normal ZWK submarine, but possibly...their firepower is much greater than thought. Just like the Yamato, they were only speculating what the Grade Atlastar was from what the Early Yamato is, possibly they are a late-ZWK era battleship with the necessary Fire Control System and Radar, any small details will be needed to be unfolded or revealed if not then they would possibly lose more than the necessary manpower to the GVE.
Port City of Iwo Jima
Iwo Jima, an Island in where the Pacific should be, was renovated to a City, while smaller than mainland Japan, it was still big compared to the city of Hawaii, which was not as advanced due to the fact that they were using them as resorts until the transfer, causing them to grow their docks, with Pearl Harbor still being renovated excessively due to its importance in maintaining ships in the Atlantic.
The Port City was soon turned into a Holding Prison for the Gra Valkas Empire's submarine crew, having lost the amount of 42 men due to the explosions and the fact that they also blew two holes into their top deck. The whole submarine was mobility killed, with the flooding, it was likely to sink in a few more minutes had the recovery ship not pulled it up.
The Japanese had placed them under watch with some prisoners getting medical attention from the wreck, the submarine was soon loaded into a drydock to be inspected and possibly converted into their own. Possibly under the name of SS-Kurotsuki or Black Moon in their language, the Japanese had quickly changed their use of I-number for their Cruiser Submarines and turned it into 'JS(Jun'yokan Sensuikan)', like their ZWK, but every ship, did not start with I followed by number, but was rearranged as JS-number to know what class it is immediately. Most are powered by Nuclear Reactors and carry Nuclear Weaponry. The Category of 'SS(Sensuikan)', being arranged as SS-number, this was the simple Attack Submarine that most Navies often build, then came the 'SK(Sensuikan Ko-Gata)', being arranged as SK-number, the Coastal Patrol Submarine.
With that, many of the Nations would use these three most, but some also used the Category of Midget Submarines, the smallest kind of Military-grade Submarines, expected to carry 6 till 9 crew members. So, obviously the Black Moon as they were told was a normal Attack Submarine.
"Alright, get in!" The crew members now wearing green uniform, the men were taken prisoners and had to serve until the conflict is resolved. "Until everything is cleared, you lot will be wasting your time here in prison." Their contrabands taken, swords of honor taken, sidearms taken and anything violating their system, basically everything they own except money, wallets and other trivial things were to be taken and studied.
Five Hours After the Information of the GVS Black Moon came out
Reichskommissariat Geneva
"Sending any diplomats to Gra Valkas is suicide!" A General yelled as at the time, the Generals and Marshals were all yelling at each other whether to issue a diplomat to the GVE, since many would suspect that it was equivalent to sending their people to die and a robot is too...sophisticated and accidentally cause the major jump on technology. "What we should do is take this as a form of instigating a war!"
"We aren't ready for war just yet!"
"When are we ready to defend!? There are never times where we successfully defend-"
"Libya and Ethiopia!"
"PFFT! Forget that!" The Generals and Marshals continued on with their bickering.
"Sir! I just received a letter from the Kanzlerin, she wishes to inform you of the current situation." Kanzlerin Victoria had spoken? It was worrying with that thought. "It is urgent!"
"Give it to me." General Werner spoke as he took the letter, the General soon opened it up before his eyes widen. "She...no, no, no, this is not happening."
"What? What is it?"
"She's willing to see the GVE representative herself."
"Face to face!? HAS SHE GONE MAD!?"
"No, in order to retain our face of complete total confidence, lack of care for reputation, she is willing to do so, to make it look like we are weak...but..."
"...No, no. If she is to become a whore to those bastard, I'd skin them alive!" Generals and Marshals continued to bicker about the rising issue.
"We can all agree that anything we come up with, immediately gets the Gra Valkas Empire either to submit or to die by our wrath!" Many began to agree, throwing insults at the name, knowing full well that this might be a battle that may take their lives, they had to remind themselves.
"To a Millennium, no...to an Eternal Alliance!"
"TO AN ETERNAL ALLIANCE!" The men soon continued their discussion on the matter as soon as they got to the basis, the entire Alliance's military once more enters the fray. Now with the mobilized power of basically nearly a thousand Divisions ready for battle. With enough firepower to decimate the entire world a few times repetitively. But worst of all for anyone to come across them with hostile intentions.
The Nuclear ICBM Ban had been lifted, use of Nuclear Missiles had been permitted and the Golden Rules of War, Ban #1 had been lifted, use of WP(White Phosphorus) Weaponry had been permitted and Anti-Infantry 2cm FlaK Autocannons had been permitted.
They had just initiated the first initial of a semi-serious war.
War Condition Level(WARCALL) 2 had been initiated.
Greater Empire of Nippon, Coasts of Mainland Japan
After an hour, it was quick for Japan to actually mobilize their Self-Propelled Anti-Ship Missiles to defend their waters from possible incoming enemy ships, with the Massive Five on the defensive, many Destroyers had been placed on Patrol Duty for some time, having seen that the Germans warned them that they were the closest of all to be struck, the Japanese had quickly ordered all Cruise Missiles, Missile Batteries, Counter-Artillery, Rocket, Mortar Emplacement Launcher or CARMEL placements were quickly placed down, many beaches are closed due to the possibility of an Artillery Strike, but for now.
Trucks continued to flood the beach head, coastal forts were re-manned, Anti-Air Buildings were re-manned, the massive radar station on the beach simply began to work its magic once more. All funds were quickly directed to the defensive in time for enemy attack, while many think they can never be ready in defense, the Axis had simply used Radar and the Forward-Warning System to ready their forces.
But until then, the beaches remained open for now and until the GVE is neutralized, none shall go to the beaches of a possible landing.
Second civilization Zone, Sonal Kingdom
There was an urgent pre-meeting between the King of Sonal that bordered the former Kingdom of Leifol, the former second civilized powerhouse, the king of the country was located on the south side of Mu.
An emergency meeting was held about the death of Leifol and the fact that the escort fleet of the 10 Foreign Ministers of the Advanced Congress was virtually annihilated, or would've been were it not for the Axis Force that began to mobilize in the ears of an invasion going on.
"The above is the damage and battle trajectory that the Foreign Minister's escort fleet at the 10 Advanced National Conferences received."
For the Sonal kingdom, the 11 advanced nations conference was a meeting of the powers. The ten countries that fought are assumed to be elite fleets, despite having lost one fleet due to the fact that they weren't taking bets and risk theirselves or their people for people they mostly didn't know.
"What...even Mu's task force was destroyed?"
The king is stunned that more than 50 Elite Ships had been annihilated effectively.
"Yes, the opponent is a large number of propeller aircraft like Mu's, but with far better capabilities and armaments."
The conference room is quiet.
"They had also struck down most of the Holy Mirishial Empire's Alpha-3 Air Superiority Fighter and Mu's Marin Fighter with little to no losses, they were only diverted by the Axis' aircraft that had came to their rescue."
"Furthermore, this is not definitive information, but according to the Spy who was released in the Holy Mirishial Empire, the Holy Mirishial Empire 0th Magic Fleet was attacked by the Gra Valkas Empire's Task Force and was annihilated.
...
Again, this is indeterminate information. "
The king was simply in despair.
"If the 0th Magic Fleet was annihilated, there would be no way to resist them in the world..."
Silence.
"Foreign Affairs!"
"Huh!"
"Go to the Axis and secure us a possible Non-Aggression Pact and possibly their favor to defend us if the Gra Valkas Empire does indeed plan to invade us!" The Axis had through and through continued to shock them even in hopeless situations. Now they just needed to get into their favor and agree to aid them if a war breaks out.
Their tradition, legacy and culture of 1200 years can simply not vanish like this!
2nd civilization area powerhouse Mu Central Military Command A certain room
Mu's engineer Mylas was talking with his boss.
"Then, you should leave it to the Axis, namely Japan to repair our most advanced battleship La Kasami, right?"
"Yes, this time, the Gra Valkas Empire has clearly declared war against the Axis, which also means Japan. Fortunately, limited technical assistance has come through Japan."
"Sure, Japan's technology is high. However, Mu, who has the power of mechanical civilization, will understand the danger of exposing the latest ship to other countries even though it is an ally."
"Yes, I understand. But I should still receive partial technical assistance from Japan. La Kasami is certainly an excellent battleship. But I went to Japan and looked at their technical level with this eye. Based on their country, the La Casami class battleship is an antique about 100 years ago.
With technology 100 years from now ... No, the latest system will not be put on, but nevertheless, the new La Kasami revived with technology 100 years from now will greatly contribute to the development of Mu. At least, it is much more useful than repairing in Mu."
"Ah...I understand. Let's consider."
"It was also found that the carrier fighter, Marin can also increase the engine power just by applying Japanese car parts."
"Wait! What?!"
"With the turbocharger system, you can easily improve the output. This turbocharger may not be exported for military use, so using a turbocharger that matches the marine engine. Or a train like that...We will develop a new locomotive and place an order with a Japanese parts company as a turbocharger for the locomotive.
This makes turbocharger with excellent parts, dramatically increasing the Marin's engine power and practical use limits."
"Do you intend to dig through the loopholes in Japanese law?
"It is a crisis of the existence of the nation. The Axis should also be able to understand despite sending us some of their technological blueprints...It would be useful for Japan to make Mu, the Gra Valkas Empire as a barrier against Japan."
The story continues.
"If the engine alone can be imported from Japan, I think we can develop a low-wing aircraft, not a biplane, as a next generation fighter, a monoplane! Wouldn't you like to have an engine alone for export? "
"But there are few human resources in the aircraft development department in Japan. And I don't think that Japan, which is so advanced, has an engine that fits the reciprocating fighter aircraft 70 years ago."
"Sure, it may not be in time. But...what if the aircraft alone has a blueprint like how we are figuring out some of their weapons?"
"Isn't the Axis frowning on the spill of technology? Those weapons were also part of a treaty if we allow us to export some material to them for an indefinite amount of time, since they are highly advanced compared to ours! How do you expect to get a blueprint?"
Mylas smiles. "We made a great discovery at a secondhand bookstore in Japan."
"...Eh?"
"Before Japan's transition, a great war took place 70 years ago in the previous world. We obtained two blueprints of excellent fighters developed just before the end of the war. It is the prototypical blueprint of the rejected Ki-84 Hayate and the local fighter Shinden, a fighter that was said to be not preferred due to the development of a Jet Fighter named the 'Eternal Zero', which is basically the installation of Jet engines on their older Zero Fighter."
The face of the boss is amazed.
"It may be difficult to create with the current Japanese industrial technology. However, it is an emergency. I want to ask for technical assistance from Japan. The Type 4 Fighter Ki-84 Hayate exceeds the speed of 600 km/h. It is said that regarding Fighter Shinden, it said to be able to exceed 700km/h, although its cruising range is short. If this can be put into practical use and mass-produced, it is possible to exceed the air force of Gra Barcas!"
The face of the boss becomes steep.
"Even if there is a blueprint for the aircraft, it would be meaningless if Japan did not have the engine itself. If it was developed from scratch by Japan, it would not be in time for any battle."
"It may not be in time, but it may be possible. There will certainly be no engine that fits the Type 4 Fighter Hayate. However, I hear that local fighter Shinden originally planned to install a jet engine. I heard a K19A that is used as a training aircraft in Japan, or a jet engine used in the business jet aircraft made by the automobile manufacturer "Honda", and the output is massive, since it is too large, the aircraft can withstand it if it is used with the output reduced. It will not malfunction in the air.
During the past great wars in Japan, Mu creates a fighter that became an illusion at the end of the war. I would like to pay homage to Japan and name it "Shinden Kai. It will be an excellent fighter for Mu."
Mylas continued his talk to his boss, telling him to basically approve of this and possibly make better relation with Japan.
Greater Empire of Nippon, Port City Yokohama
"Sir! Sir, I...don't get this." An operator of the Japanese Port, Port Yokohama had found out that a passenger ship of basically fifty men were deemed missing after their departure from Mu a few days ago. "...Didn't a Destroyer escort it?"
"...This...this can't be possible, they were told to continue docking in Mu! The Destroyer Fleet had been sent to fetch them in two days!" His superior yelled in complete shock. "No, this can't be possible! Send out the entire Escort Fleet to the route that they would've taken!"
"Aye sir! This is Port Yokohama to Military Port Yokohama, this is a Code 5-1-3, I repeat a Code 5-1-3, this is not a drill! This is not a drill!" Men came pouring out in the middle of the day, wearing blue uniforms that match the crystal blue water.
"...They couldn't have..."
"Sir?"
"They couldn't have had electronical disruption, right?"
"...No, no, I don't think so, they just sent a message, not long ago..."
"Then...is our communications-"
"They might've been forced to comply by their passengers." Forced Compliance was a thing, many influential people used them to get what they want and in Japan, that ain't foreign to them, despite having polite traditions, there were still the rotten apple in the bunch. "I...don't want to point fingers, but..."
"...If so, that might be dangerous." They also meant that they would leak anything to be kept alive and well. If they were to...no, they would've leaked everything they were capable of! Nuclear ICBMs had been nothing, but a rumor after the Nuclear Project was closed to the public as 'Abandoned', but in actuality only placed on high secrecy, naming every ICBMs they had as German ICBMs such as 'Schwarzwehr', 'Wundernacht' and etc, the names were derived to secret their development and involvement in ICBMs, so that possibly their leaked information would also prove that the ICBMs would only be in German soil, hardly in Japan.
With their false information on Japanese technology such as the lower and under-gratifying of the A36M Jet Fighter's max speed, information says 1.7 Mach, but in actuality was 2.5 Mach in 10km above air and 3.2~3.3 in 30km above air. The Germans had been working on mostly stealth, so their engines were still incapable of going that fast for now...the Nachtzehrer was at 2.3 Mach in top speed, the Wyvern was at 3.0 Mach in top speed, the Fenrir was kept a secret with the only known record to be at 2.8 Mach, but possibly can go higher.
The passenger ship was a top priority with them going on about their mouths, that would mean the loss of a special element that they had.
IJN Sakura
The IJN Light Cruiser, Sakura of the Hattori-Class Light Cruisers, the newest addition, the second ship of the class had begun its first sortie after being commissioned a few months back. Packed with twelve guns in total, being 155mm meant that whatever came her way would be smashed by twelve gun salvoes, with her were the Seki-Class Heavy Cruiser, IJN Tedori. The Heavy Cruiser and Light Cruiser were accompanied by Destroyers, namely the Arashi-Class Gun Destroyers, armed with more guns than missiles, the Arashi was to basically compensate for the lack of Missile Destroyers.
With the economy booming, the ships were being made non-stop with schedules to not overwork the workers themselves, but this did also improve their own population as the number of unemployed people decreased immensely and with time, they might be able to demolish poverty from their Alliance, worthwhile, but not forever as they can't build ships forever and the materials are limited. Some came to the conclusion, unworthy ships would be soon scrapped for materials.
It was sad for the servicemen, but hope came when they have enough names, the scrap of ships would be remade into newer ships that bare the same name for the same navy sailors. With that out of the way, the Task Force, Task Force Sakura was sent to investigate where the passenger ship had been reportedly gone missing. The Captain of the Sakura, Eiji Honoka had quickly looked through his binoculars, searching for any sign as the radar continued its search, in the clear seas, every eyes were needed as if no one watches a thing, the thing would simply disappear.
Quite comical, but eyes were needed to watch over something or someone drifting in the sea, otherwise it would indeed disappear. "I think I found the wreck!" A sailor yelled as the others quickly crowded over towards his side, the Captain himself quickly got towards the reporter to find indeed, the ship was indeed pulverized into basically scrap metal, a few bodies drifted afloat a few dozen meters from the sailors.
"Get a recovery boat!" The formation of basically seven ships quickly made attempts to recover the bodies of the missing passenger ship. The recovery boat, a boat that hung by the side of the Light Cruiser quickly was lowered before the crew members set it into the water gently, the boat soon got into action as three of them, two were sent by the Tedori began to close in.
Taking the bodies into the hull and checked for pulses. After the amount of about twenty bodies found, the sailors were losing hope in finding a survivor. "Over there!" By a wreckage, was another person, a man in a business suit, although the blazer was missing, laying on a piece of floating wood, presumably a door, the boats quickly got to the body before realizing that there were sharks around the boat. They were easily massive, great white sharks, although the color scheme was colored in mostly brown than grey. "Get the rifles!" The Underwater rifles used to kill underwater fish, mostly tuna were quickly taken out, they were mostly modified versions of the Type 89 Assault Rifles, the gunners quickly loaded some rounds before firing their guns.
The sharks quickly had their bodies struck by bullets and fled. The sailors soon got the raft towards them before pulling the body onboard, the men of the boat from Tedori quickly went to work to find a pulse, the sailors bit their lips as the sailors continued to find it before resorting to do a CPR, pushing his chest to get a pulse and air in, after five minutes, the body spit out some water from his mouth. "He's alright!"
The sailors cheered before they soon realized about their current mission, no time to celebrate just yet. Having found more than thirty bodies, they were left with one survivor. "...Is that it?"
"Nothing...nothing more." Another confirmed. "...Let's head back to the ship."
"Hai."
Interview with Sir Kimura
"Tell me, sir Kimura, what happened?" The interviewer asked the Japanese man.
"It was...I...It was a ship, a warship that I can tell...it was...bigger than our ship and it was obvious that it was a warship of some kind with some big guns, maybe...more than a hundred meters?"
"Okay okay, what else?"
"...My wife...my kids..."
"...I'm...dearly sorry for your loss."
"Damn it, it's...as much as I wanted to blame the Navy, I can't when we pushed it against the schedule, dammit! DAMMIT!" He hit the table before tears formed.
"...If...you'd like we can continue this...another time."
"...Yeah...yeah, that'd be fine."
Interview #2
"Hmm, so, can you tell me what the ship looks like? I've brought a few references for you to use."
"Ah...okay..." The man nodded as the Interviewer brought up the pictures of basically Japanese ZWK Light Cruiser, Heavy Cruisers and Fast Battleships. "...I...think this one..." Taking a look, the interviewer saw the picture and grimaced, under the picture the name of 'Tone-Class Heavy Cruisers', a late-ZWK era Heavy Cruiser, the Heavy Cruiser seemed to be if not the equivalent of the Japanese's.
"...This might be more trouble than we could've hoped for..."
End Report:
Gra Valkas Empire: Equivalent of [1943] Empire of Japan
Trivia:
Ka-525 = MVSA-32J Seagull/Umidori from Zipang/Added two hardpoints for two light bombs.
IJN Mika = (Inspired by)Pigeon-Class Submarine Rescue Ship
K19A = T-4 Trainer Aircraft
Ki-84 Hayate's replacement for those wondering = Ki-94
J7W Shinden's replacement = Nakajima Karyu
Hattori-Class Light Cruiser = Going back to basics, the Light Cruiser packs twelve 155mm cannons, three guns in each turret, four in total with two up front and two on the back, it was created based on the Minotaur-Class Light Cruisers, the British had designed and completed by 1958.
Seki-Class Heavy Cruiser = Developed from the ZWK Cruisers, the Seki-Class includes five turrets, like the Takao-Class Heavy Cruisers, having three turrets on front and two on the back, each having a triplet of 283mm cannons, an upgrade for Heavy Cruisers considering they were developed from the Zao-Class Heavy Cruisers. Its hull was longer than the Zao, considering it was a massive run for even a Heavy Cruiser that it could've been registered as a Battlecruiser, but with the lack of bigger guns, considering 283mm is barely a fit for most Battleships today, it was identified as a Heavy Cruiser, completed by 2001, a stopgap, since Suzuya-Class is considered more powerful with its 310mm cannons, a pair of missile batteries, one for Cruise Missiles and the other for Anti-Air purposes.
Disclaimer: GVS is not an official prefix used by the Gra Valkas Empire, just to clear things up in case of a misunderstanding.
Review:
Jojo: Thank you
Commander 31:
Dotaro Jio: Thank you
Battleship nerd: Yep, really have been wanting to do this for a while now
UN Peacekeeper: Ehem…(Multiple Earthquake Bombs and Nuclear ICBMs explode in the background)...I mean, nooooo, we're not doing anything that bad...maybe...
xDominous: Taking that to consideration...
Manh Hai Nguyen: Yeah, mistaken mph for km/hour, fixed it now...
Cap Vietnam: In the LN...well, I think you've read the one on top, yes, that's the actual number on the wiki when they launched an attack to Mainland Japan in the LN. And yes...but they will probably die before they see it...
jurasico1977/Alberto: Sí, la vida es una perra, trátala de manera diferente, ¿en tu perspectiva? En realidad no, el Imperio Gra Valkas es fuerte, pero no es estúpido en algunos puntos, así que está eso ... ¿pero misiles? Demonios, sí, boi.
Jctherebel: Hope to not disappoint with this one.
Papon777:
Germany: I knew they were pacifists, but to send a Coast Guard ship in a possible scenario or most likely scenario where Gra Valkas attacks? Yeah, I think this Japan's High.
Nippon: You're telling me, my other self is like...a fucking nutcase, just added proof that Democracy is not something I'd like in my system, nope.
Italy: Ahhhh, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
Germany: Yes, I now see a nation with high-tech that is far more incompetent than Italy, I've fulfilled my life.
Japan(SJ): Guys~, it'll be fi-
Axis: That's not going to be bloody fine when you fucking lose people, dipshit!
...Yep...anyways, AC-130 does have a counterpart, you can find it in the Timeline's below chapter of basically military equipment, but yeah, Ju96G G for Gewehr, maybe a new model would come out. Anyways, the ISS? Yeah, probably there will be one that is armed, since they wanted to be sure of it as a possible Anti-Alien Weapon if there are Aliens coming about.
Ubaduraibo: Yay...what now?
Well, I've taken the liberty of writing of most of the Chapter while also taking account of what was basically from the Japanese-to-English Translation from Google and I gotta say, it sucked...badly, I had to rewrite the script over and over from how bad it is till I had a more...logical one...well, I just hope we can get the next chapter going...continuing on, props to those who can recognize some of the references and titles of that particular anime, while I probably guess that you grew up in the Philippines, Japan, or basically South East Asia or some part of Asia.
I just put that in for the gag and that the Main Theme actually would fit just right...so yeah...
Anyways, a lot more weapons in this chapter and I just found a suitable tank for Italy and Japan, Germany I plan to keep going with the OTL for a while until we get to the end of the series, jump to Leopard 3 with some additional special equipment and stuff, anyways...
I'm gonna spoil it...so yeah.
Italy: M-21 Anaconda Tank(Generic Tank Design, similar to what MBTs currently look like)
Nippon: M-61 MBT(With a Single Gun)
Anyways, the GVE is confirmed to have more than a thousand ships, and considering the Axis just mobilized their entire fleet of probably more than a thousand...given they are also more advanced, they'd be highly cautious in not attempting attacks that resolves in the death of personnel. But we can also fit in some...Company of Hero memes in this...
Incendiary...
Tonnes of Artillery...
Goliaths...(Wait are they even making th-Of course they fucking are!)
Sturmtigers(They're still a thing)
Rocket Barrages...
...Maybe send in Carriers with Bombers? Heck, who knows? I might even just send every bomber there is and basically bomb Brita-I mean, Gra Valkas! Yes! We're not gonna bomb Britain a second time! Probably also get Missiles and just bomb the fuck out of Gra Valkas...
Guess that means we're gonna do War Crimes against the Geneva Convention...
Oh wait, what Geneva Convention?(Flashback to when the Germans abolished the Geneva Convention in 1960 and introduce the Axis Convention or Golden Rules of War)
That sounds like a plan...let's do it...
Anyways, yeah, sorry, but I've taken a lot on pushing this shit out, maybe I should get a Gate, place it in this universe and play out a Gate Side-Story while Mob of Deer continues their translation...
Does that sound like a plan? Just let me know, since maybe we'd get more things done and maybe more interesting things done while waiting for Mob of Deer...till next time! See ya!
