When we last left off, by early 1938, the Coalition has effectively, singled-handily won the Saderan War. The Saderan Emperor, Zoral el Caesar, was brutally and justifiably murdered by his female sex slaves.

With Zoral dead, his armies scattered across Falmart, with the choice of surrendering, being annihilated, or becoming outlaws and bandits (which they were quickly dispatched).

The people of Falmart, is devastated by the cost of war, with men, sons, fathers and husbands… will never return home, as 'crosses grow on Alnus hill', as one unknown Coalition soldier puts it in a poem.

However, the Coalition will be at war again, this time, against the Commune of France.

The embarrassment caused by the 'Saderan War' for the Commune of France, caused the Jacobins to become ever bolder. They're closer to political thinking of Marxist-Leninist. The ruling though that the easiest way to rally the people to the government, is to go and get lands that were historically part of France.

The Commune of France, for several days before the conclusion of the Saderan War, tried to use diplomatic means to ask the German Empire to return the entirety of Alsace-Lorraine. The Germans of course, they aren't going to give up a huge amount of land that costs so many in their young men that easily, so the reply was best summarised as to simply and kindly tell the French Syndicalists to "Fuck off." (Well okay, not that kind).

Soon after the Saderan War was in its dying days, those diplomatic overtures turned into military threats, with the French Syndicalists threatening war over Alsace-Lorraine if the German Empire refused to comply.

There's a story of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Chancellor Franz von Papen and the German General Staff, laughing their asses off when they heard of French Syndicalists' threats. They know that the French Syndicalist bluffing.

After all, they can't defeat an enemy that was LITTERALLY armed with spears and swords for fuck sake and they were equipped with modern weapons, artillery, aircraft and tanks.

The Germans must be thinking when the threats started coming in: 'Surely, the French Syndicalists aren't that stupid to attack us.'

They're not wrong about that the assumptions, as the Imperial German Army's implementation of reforms, pushed by Von Bloomberg and his supporters, has finally been complete and was so far is achieving success, both in doctrine and equipment.

The German variant of the doctrine Combined Arms, Shock and Awe, with the characteristics of Shock and Awe being intense coordination between branches of the armed forces, and the use of overwhelming firepower.

The German military has new toys to play as well. They have the Panzer V 'Panther' Universal Tank (OTL Leopard I MBT), Messerschmitt Me 300 'Alder' (Messerschmitt ME H.G III), Type XII submarine (OTL British Porpoise-class submarine) and Gewehr 38s (a 7.92mm version of the OTL FN FAL Battle Rifle) to name a few.

And also from what intelligence they obtain from their intelligence agency and Coalition allies, the French Syndicalist also began to reform their military, but the speed of said reform is painfully slow, due to French Syndicalist politics being French to the maximum and what not, as in that they're complicated, divided (with different, small factions) and go on strike, on a daily basis (the last one was a joke, but it shows how serious the political situation is in the Commune of France. Take out the common goal, and in an instant, they will be trying to tear their throats out).

Meanwhile, Coalition co-research, has begun to bear fruit. Canada and National France is able to maximize their extraction of resources, able to fulfil their domestic need, with some left over for import (to Coalition-friendly nation obviously).

They also maximize production of their own equipment, churning out equipment that are made in both quantity and quality (most indigenous designs, with a few foreign designs, namely the Panther Universal Tank), which help strengthen their own militaries, after the Commune of France started to make threats (there was build up before then, but the threats helped accelerate the military strengthening programs), waiting for the day when they will liberate their homeland.

But the French Syndicalists were that stupid, as they're making plans to strike at the devil himself, in the form of the German Empire. The government wanted to restore the luster of the Commune's might and prestige.

But Commune of France's general staff argue against such a war. Even officers who were appointed due to their political connections, also protested. They argued that (and rightly so), still need time for the reforms to pass through, the military is still waiting for new equipment and clothing, and they still need to rebuild their strength, after the embarrassing blunders in the 'Saderan War'. They even suggesting to attack the Italian Federation first, as they're less powerful.

The government respond to those naysayers by firing them, and replacing them with ass kissers, who proclaimed that Commune will roflstomp the Germans within two months. They decided to launch a surprise attack on the German Empire. What they'd plan will be known to history, as Operation Jena-Auerstedt, after the 1806 decisive French victory over Prussia. The plan of attack was simple, it will be a combined arms operation, with an early surprise air attack on the German air force, with the main thrust going through Flanders-Wallonia and the Netherlands. The GATE garrison will stay put, due to their pathetic performance against the Saderan Empire.

On April 1st 1938, the French Syndicalists attacked at the French-Flanders-Wallonia border, with 20 infantry divisions and 10 motorized and mechanized regiments. Though they enjoyed initial success, immediately, the French Syndicalists' offensive was almost completely halted, being routed at almost every turn by Major-General Erwin Rommel's 3rd Panzer Army, AKA, the 'Ghost Army', which was stationed in Flanders-Wallonia.

It was another hour that the whole operation started to collapse. The French Syndicalist were not prepared for a war, but the Germans were, tearing the French a new one as far as they are concerned.

And also, the Union of Britain is certain they aren't going to stick its head out for its continental Syndicalist comrade just across the Channel, (after all, a European war was the reason why the Syndicalists are in power in the first place) so it declared neutrality.

The Socialist Republic of Italy had since left the Third International after the 'Rape of Rondel', not wanting to be closely associated with France, even going as far as restructuring the General Congress more akin to the Union of Britain.

So the Commune of France, was on its lonesome.

The Dominion and the British exiles was naturally disappointed that the Union of Britain did't join the war, but thankful that Socialist Republic of Italy hadn't joined the war, so the Coalition planned to open two new fronts, one is by landing in southern France, and the other is through the Commune's GATE.

Operation (invasion of southern France) and Operation (invasion of Commune of Falmart and French Syndicalist-controlled territory in Falmart), the operation began on, in the largest military operation against a nation in history.

Now Rory was fighting the French Syndicalists and Falmartian puppets for the last year or so, killing thousands of French Syndicalists.

When Rory saw the French Republican soldiers, due to near uniformed similarities with the French Syndicalists, she'd almost want to attack them, but when she saw that they were attacking the French Syndicalist Soldiers, the people she swore to destroy for the 'Rape of Rondel', she decided to join in the fun, and help the French Republican Soldiers.

The French Republican Soldiers looked in surprise, as a little girl is going at automatic weapons, with just a halberd. Then their jaws dropped, as the little girl cut the Syndicalists soldiers left, right and centre, into unholy messes of guts and flesh.

After the battle, Rory and the Coalition had an agreement stating 'You don't interfere in our affairs, we don't interfere in your affairs.' and Rory left the Coalition in peace.

Meanwhile, the Coalition began to establish a government for the FKF. Princess Pina co Lada was anointed Queen of Federal Kingdom of Falmart. And remember Crassus? He was the one who gave the French Syndicalist militia a really bad time. He was shortly imprisoned by the Coalition, before being released. He was made FKF's first prime minister, as he was the only sane choice that the Coalition had left that was still alive.

All while this is going on, Farumāto King Diabo realised that he is nothing more than a puppet of the Japan's whims and desires, and he or his advisors, has no proper way to influence.

And also, Farumātian children are required to have Japanese names and speak Japanese only. Farumātian news was heavily censored, and any news will be slanted toward the Japan's favour. Locals were forbidden to speak the local language, Falmartian, only speak Japanese. And locals must pay their respect towards Japanese soldiers, because if they show disrespect, well… it will not be pretty, as harsh punishments for trivial misdemeanours was the norm. All the while, Japanese settlers began pouring. Hundreds, thousands! Tens of thousands! Most of them being farmers, who were given large tracts of land to cultivate, much to the resentment of the Farumātians. Japanese businessmen also came, setting up business and factories.

The zaibatsu quickly got to do what they do best: making money.

This made Diabo saw all of this as an elaborate Japanese plot against his own people by the Japanese and believed that the Japanese are trying to in order to make Farumāto become an permanent extension of their empire, slowly and surely, which violated the agreement between Diabo and the Japanese Government. Getting me so far? Good. Does it make sense? Eh.

So, with this in mind, he began to secretly prepare a conspiracy against the Japanese, with the ultimate goal is to kick out the Japanese and become a modern state, capable of defending itself from outside influence (i.e. invasion).

He began to carefully recruit secret anti-Japanese (but pro-modernisation) conspirators, usually nobles, all of his advisors, and other notable politicians and officers, and began to secretly raise funds, usually in the form of gold coins.

His co-conspirators also began stealing modern weaponry, usually from the French Syndicalists, and usually rifles, machine guns and grenades, in the hundreds, which means that the Commune of France has the worst military security guards, ever.

I'm not kidding. They have the worst security guards, period. Even guards in those stealth-heavy video games, set on easy mode, is more of challenge for fuck sake. The guards are both blind, deaf, and slow. Stupid Syndies!

Moving on, Diabo even go as far as completing a letter (later known as the Diabo letter) for his sister Pina and for the Commander of Combined Coalition Expeditionary Force, Sir Arthur Currie (well, that complicate things), asking their support if there was a successful rebellion against the Japanese.

Anyway, and unfortunately for Diabo and his co-conspirators, the Japanese had a double agent inserted into the conspiracy, who alerted his higher-ups about Diabo's treachery.

The Japanese quickly responded, raiding the rebel's HQ. Though they manage to capture or killed important rebel leaders, Diabo managed to get away, and he began calling on all those loyal to him to 'rise up and kill the Japanese.'

And thus, 'The Farumāto Uprising' (or the Kingdom of Falmart's War of Independence as the rebels called it) had begun, and shit wasn't pretty (well on part of the local human Farumātian), with most of the Farumātian populace and two-thirds of the Farumātian military rise up, and Diabo declared himself emperor of the Empire of Falmart, which is definitely not the Saderan Empire with a new paint job.

There were many cases of Farumātians killing Japanese settlers and their families in a war of independence.

Most of the demi-human Farumātians (mostly elves and part-animal humanoids) sided with the Japanese, as although they're subject to the same treatment as the human Farumātians, it was a definite improvement over the Saderan Empire, which actively discriminate against them. The famous 3rd Japanese Falmart Infantry Division, known at the time as 3rd Farumāto Infantry Division, sided with the Japanese, and become an important factor in crushing the rebels.

At first, the Japanese stumble around a bit, and was shocked at the fact that the Farumāto rebels was able to acquire modern weaponry (The Japanese only equipped the Farumāto military with Saderan Empire equipment). But the Japanese quickly crush the rebellion, using the same tactics that they used against the Saderan Empire (bar the use of bio-weapons). Kidnapping of Farumāto wives of rebels to be comfort women. And forced labour camps for any poor sod to be captured alive. And if there were large concentration of rebels in small areas, or in dense forestation, the Japanese will use mustard gas bombs, as the rebels have no protection against such weapons.

Thousands of people of Japanese nationality died. The Farumātians? Ten, to maybe hundred thousands of people, many civilians, who at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

And before you can scream the rebels' battle cry: 'Imperatoris Diabo: Decem Annos Mille!' (Roughly translated to 'Emperor Diabo, Ten Thousand Years!'), the rebels were crushed, and Diabo was on the run.

Thousands of surviving rebels were executed, many through public execution to remind the Farumātians whose boss, or were sent to forced labour camps.

Diabo tried to escape to Coalition-controlled territory or FKF and tried to gain political asylum, but was refused in either case, as the former want to keep cordial relationship with the Japanese Empire (Germany has the most to lose, as they have large holdings in Asia), as Second Weltkrieg is raging on, and the last thing they want is to fight another enemy that's far away. And for the latter, though they are related by blood, Pina was heavily pressured by the Coalition not to take in Diabo, citing above reasons.

Diabo was captured alive by the Japanese, and his ass was hauled off back to Farumāto, to be made an example of. He demanded a trial, but to no avail. He was executed on June 6th, 1938 via crucifixion, in New Tokyo's square, Falmart. He'd lived like a despicable, Machiavellic, and cowardly traitor… and died like one. And his corpse was on public display in the city's square for three weeks, his rotting corpse served as a warning for other would-be rebel scum and the notion of challenging Japanese hegemony.

Today, there are underground rebel terrorists groups that share the 'martyr' Diabo's goals of a liberated Kingdom of Falmart, but they're usually unsuccessful, as the Japanese infiltrate these groups, and use the 'divide and conquer' strategy, with Farumātian demi-human given more favourable treatment (especially political treatment) over the Farumātian humans.

This ensure the demi-humans' loyalty to the Japanese Empire, but this unequal treatment by the Japanese, but led to bitter resentment of the Farumātian demi-humans by the Farumātian humans, with anti-demi-humanism being common among Farumātian humans. Ethnic riots targeting Farumātian demi-humans, were often brutally crushed by both the demi-humans and the Japanese.

Meanwhile on the American-Mexican border, MacArthur authorize a false flag attack on an American border town, in which American planes and bombers (with Mexican air force markings) strafed and bombed the town, killing over a hundred civilians, most of whom are children.

Also among the dead was Huey Long, who was visiting the town.

Many modern conspiracy theorists believed and speculated that MacArthur wanted Long dead, due to the threat that Long posed, due to his popularity with Southerners and his economic policies. There's some truth to what their theories, as there was already strain on MacArthur and Long's relationship, with MacArthur privately calling Long a 'secret Syndicalist', due to his left-wing economic policies.

Anyway, as a result of the 'attack' and the propaganda campaign that quickly followed, the American populace was outraged, the military mobilized, and over the next year, the Second Mexican-American War will be concluded, costing over half a million lives.

The American takes most of Northern Mexico and the Baja Peninsula. And they installed a puppet regime to make sure that the Mexicans 'know their place' so to speak.

But back to the Coalition. The Coalition was kicking the Commune's ass very badly, that the Italian Federation decided it was a great opportunity to 'liberate' Nice and the surrounding area, attacking the Commune of France.

The Socialist Republic of Italy saw what the Federation was doing, and feared the balance of power will shift into the Federation's favour, so attacked the Federation.

And the Coalition was like 'Goddamn it, Italy.' with Germans being the most mild of the reaction, to the National French being the worst, no surprise, as the Italians are in for territorial gain at the cost of the French Republicans.

Eventually, the Italians agreed that they will drop the idea of 'liberating' parts of southern France, join the Coalition, and in return, the Coalition will turn a blind eye when the Italian Federalists want to reunify Italy.

Anyway, after one year, the Commune of France surrendered its erstwhile ally, SCI, capitulated, with the Federation looking to reintegrate it back. The Coalition of Canadian, French Republicans, Germans and Italian Federalists have won.

Western Europe can rebuild from the devastation of the war and wipe the influence of Syndicalism within their countries. the commune of Falmart is dissolved, and placed under Coalition control, (to avoid the FKF gaining too much power). the territory under the Coalition's direct control

And the Cold War developed, primarily between the Union of Britain, the Coalition, the United States of America and the Empire of Japan, and everyone roughly tested and mass manufactured nuclear weapons. The Cold War still continues to this day, but the came to point of understanding, and the rivalry is more of soft influence (economic, social) and less of hard influence (military, territory and political). There were times that we came close to nuclear war.

The Union of Britain did hangs on, but as time wore on, the Union of Britain became more authoritarian, totalitarian, and dictatorial. The Union devolved to such a level, that it makes Orwell wasn't trying hard enough when he wrote 1984. Eventually, in 1975, Mosely died in an 'accident' and an internal power struggle began, which dissolved into a civil war. This is when the British exiles got involved, grabbing parts of South-East England.

blah, blah, blah, skip a few sentences, the British exiles win the civil war, the King returns to be properly crowned, and they began to rebuild. The End.

The final part of the Kaiserreich/GATE crossover. 12,000+ views? Never thought that this series of stories will be that popular. Berserk/GATE is right down the pipeline. Might take awhile.
