Blood of Europe
Chapter 2: Desolation of Rome
Chekov looked at the two special commando teams. They were actually all Desolator Commandos. Their special abilities would make them extremely useful. They were going to drop into the city within two hours. Chekov certainly wouldn't be dropping with them. He would be coordinating their battle from a command copter.
"Our mission is to assassinate the Pope and destabilize the Italian government," he said, "The Italians have mobilized their military in anticipation of an attack from us. If we disable their central government, it will be much easier for us to move in and crush the Italian Army. That is our mission. That is the mission the Premier has given us. We shall not fail!"
Two hours later the commandos dropped. There were twelve Desolators in each team. The Vatican team was dropped directly into the church. They crept into the quarters of the Pope and killed him. Several priests heard their rad cannons, and came to investigate, but they were killed as well. Now they had to get out of here. This had taken fifteen minutes.
The second team had far more difficulty. They had killed the guards on two levels of the parliamentary building, and were now heading towards the main chamber. Three more guards appeared, but they were dealt with accordingly. Now, to kill the Italian government.
President Dugan walked into the situation room.
"What the hell is going on?" he demanded.
"Mr. President," said General Carville, "This is Colonel Ryan Sharp. He's the man to explain things. We managed to extract him from Europe before everything went to hell."
"Well Colonel?"
"The Soviets are making a move sir," said Ryan, "Their armored forces are rolling into Germany, and they've seized control of the country. I'd say that Italy is next, then they'd move against the Balkan states, then France and the rest of Europe. They aren't going to make the same mistakes as last time. Last time, we beat them with superior technology, and a lot of it was developed by Professor Einstein. They nabbed him."
"So what are we supposed to do?" Dugan asked his generals and admirals.
"Mr. President," began Carville, "With all due respect, a lot of those European nations are our allies, and we need to help them. However, the problem is that Romanov caught us with our pants down, and I'm not sure how we can do that much to help."
"Mr. President, I have a suggestion."
Heads turned towards the colonel.
"Go ahead Colonel."
"We can assume that Europe isn't Romanov's primary objective. I'd say we are. We stopped the Soviet Union once before, but that was because of the Philadelphia Project."
"How do you know about that?" said Dugan.
"Sir, back then, I was a very young private that guarded the facility, and I found out about it by accident. However, that isn't the point right now. The point is that with Einstein, the Soviets may very well get the Chronosphere. However, we can be sure that it will take time for them to actually build one while we already have one."
The staff was silent for a few minutes.
"What you're saying has grave implications," said Dugan.
"I know sir," said Ryan, "However, it isn't like we have an actual choice in all this. We have to act. The Chronosphere we have needs to be upgraded. The original team who worked on this have continued working on this, or so I have been led to believe. Now, it can move entire platoons. However, this will not be enough. We will most likely start fighting against the Soviets very soon, and I do not think we can count on a technological edge this time."
The rest of the staff was very unhappy to hear this. However, they knew it to be true.
"So what do you suggest."
"I suggest we bring our forces up to DefCon 3 and prepare for war with the Soviets. However, the primary things that concern me is the European nuclear arsenal. According to the reports I got while still in Europe, they seemed to be disabled, meaning the Soviets were able to disable them. We might be in the same situation."
"I agree Mr. President," said Carville, "Whatever trick the Soviets pulled out of the hat has given them an edge, and we need to be prepared."
Rome was a radiation wasteland. The Desolators had done their job quite well. Doing this was easier than actually working to kill all of their targets.
"Mission accomplished," said Zophia.
"Yes," said Chekov, "An effective way to eliminate a large target group, don't you think, Comrade Lieutenant?"
"Yes Comrade General."
"Let's leave."
The two teams were extracted and they pulled out. They were soon in contact with Moscow.
"Premier Romanov, I am happy to report that the mission was accomplished successfully."
"Good job, Comrade General! Now the European dogs will see the full power of the Soviet Empire! But there is another mission that requires your attention. Yuri will fill you in."
The screen shifted locations and Yuri appeared.
"Ah, Comrade General. You have done quite well on your last three operations. Now, I have one that might test your abilities somewhat. I have developed a piece of technology which I call the Physic Beacon. It will allow us to control the minds of our enemies. With this, we can control the world. I want you to deploy a Physic Beacon in Paris. With it, we will control the French government, and we will gain control of another powerful European country. The details of the mission will be sent to you. Advancement comes with success, Comrade General, no?"
"I will carry out my orders, Comrade Minister."
"I am sure of that," Yuri said before the transmission terminated.
Chekov took a deep breath. Well, it was time to get to work. The orders came in just as Yuri had said. They were to seize the Eiffel Tower and place a Tesla Coil unit at the top. Then, Tesla Troopers would power it and make the Eiffel Tower into a massive Tesla Coil, thus able to destroy everything that tried to get close to them. Then, they would deploy the Physic Beacon. Well, that sounded reasonable, and shouldn't prove too difficult.
"The second Philadelphia Project is underway," said Colonel Sharp, "That is currently being run at a classified location."
"Where," said the President.
"At Pearl Harbor, just like the first one. It is progressing very well and we think it in one month it will be fully operational."
"I've called for a partial mobilization," said Dugan, "We have several heavy corps ready for deployment. Should we enter this war now?"
"Yes," said Carville, "Mr. President, the only reason the Soviets haven't attacked us yet is because they aren't ready for us yet. This time, we'll be the Texas rattlesnake and give them a bite."
"Okay. But how do we deploy?"
"We can do so from England," said Sharp, "By ensuring that it is secure against enemy occupation, we can move in forces for an attack against the mainland Soviet forces."
"That sounds like a plan. Colonel, you've done quite well. I'm promoting you to brigadier general and putting you in charge of the US Expedition Force."
That left Sharp speechless for a few seconds. However, he recovered quickly.
"Thank you Mr. President."
"Well, let's get going."
End of Chapter 2
R+R. And to the guy who wants me to put a bullet in Yuri's head, that may very well happen.
