Mirror Mirror Chapter 7: Inauguration, a strike witches fanfic

I Know I promised action here but while writing all this stuff got ahead of me, so unfortunately battles will be later in the story, enjoy the common sense LOL. Enjoy. Still new to action writing so bare with me. Also I try to do what I can to give decent info to American and Canadian forces, that being said I'm no expert on war so if anything is wrong sorry; can't say I don't do my best. Oh, Africa is mainly an American theater, most American and Canadian forces are in Europe.

Also I'll bring Yoshika in earlier then the Anime or Manga, though Maidens of the sky will be the main "cannon" for Yoshika. It will be Junko that scouts Yoshika and trains her before Mio.

Anyway I don't own Strike witches. House of cards (did I mention underwood is a good guy in my fics?) and I don't own the Command and conquer series in this case generals.

Enjoy.

Some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules, of Hector and Lysander and such great names as these but of all the worlds great heroes theirs none that can compare with a tow raow raow raow raow raow to the Britannian Grenadiers!

When air we are commanded to storm the palisades our leaders March with fuses and we with hand grenades, we throw them from the glassine above the enemy's ears with a tow raow raow raow raow raow to the Britannian Grenadiers.

Then let us drink a bumper and drink a health of those, who carry caps and pouches and wear thy loped cloths may they and their commanders live happy all their years with a tow raow raow raow raow raow to the Britannian Grenadiers.

Africa 1942

Charlotte was woken up by a monstrous sound, she never heard anything like it and as such she thought it was Neuroi. Allied forces were outside Sidi bu zid for a second battle, Neuroi forces were digging in the City for a defensive stand. Allied forces have enough supply's to begin launching attacks. As Charlotte got out of her tent along with all TEMP and witch forces she saw a plane bigger then she ever thought possible. To her it had to be as long as a battleship maybe even as long as the Shinano, and bigger then that land Nuroi battleship she fought in the Tiger prototype.

"What is that?" Charlotte heard a TEMP Liberion GI ask an American.

"That my Liberion counterpart is "FRED". The American Sargent said.

"Fred?" The TEMPS and witches said.

"Yep, "FRED" "Fucking ridiculous, Economic/Environmental Disaster." The Sargent said only to get a smack by one of his friends.

"Don't swar in Front of kids!"

"People what you are seeing is Americas heavy intercontinental-rang strategic airlift transport. The C-5 Galaxy, in this case it's a C-5M super Galaxy. Looks like they're dropping off some extra supplies for us." The other Sargent said.

As the TEMPS and Witches watched it fly low it opened its bay doors and to their absolute amazement they watched as large boxes of supplies were just dumped onto the ground, along with a couple of Humvees. (Imagine that level from Ghosts, or Girls und panzer der film. If you watched it.)

"Wow! I never thought planes could do something like that! Where did it come from!?" Charlotte asked voicing the thoughts of everyone their.

"Well, seeing as Americas overseas bases, especially in Europe are gone, it came from America." The Sargent said.

"That far!?" Was the collective response of TEMPS.

"I believe this is a MERICA moment." Another American said.

Later on in the day the Three Generals Monty, Patton and Rommel were expecting some new arrivals. All Liberion forces including Witches of the major theatres were to suspend all military action for the time being. Patton including his Patton girls and II Corps were gathered in different areas awaiting what for whoever was supposed to be coming. This of course got the attention of some Britannian and Karlslanders as well. After thirty minutes of waiting they saw a group of Americans come, including a Four star General that looked to be in his early fifties and a Civilian.

"Greetings I'm General Masson, United States Army I'm here to inaugurate all Liberion forces, mundane and Witch into the American military. And my counter part here will lead you into becoming an American Citizen. At his words their was a flooding of murmurs and questions.

"I'll answer some questions that you may have." The American General said.

Patton was first. "Excuse me sir, but what will happen to us and my command after this?"

"Don't worry Lieutenant General. Everything will be the same, you'll just be working for a "mirror" Liberion, only ninety years from the future. We want to get this war over with and to do that we need to make integration of Liberion forces happen as quickly as possible. And as for your command, it will stay mostly the same, by that I mean, I'm here as liaison and consultant for Liberion forces as well as to take command of American forces so that we can get the maximum combat effeminacy in coordination with U.S Military and TEMP military. You'll still be in command of Liberion troops and Witches." The American General said getting a slow but sure nod from Patton.

Then a Patton girl by the name of Patricia asked a question that has plagued not only them but all witches in Africa.

"Excuse me sir, what will happen to us witches?" Patricia asked.

"While I myself have had daughters and the thought of having my daughters fight in a war and with out pants scares me to death, My orders were to provide and give total support for all Liberion Witches." He said hearing relieved sighs from the Witches present which included Hanna Marseille.

"People, I can not begin to understand the emotions you must be going through. Too lose your home country and family is something that can't be understood, and to have it be replaced by another country so similar yet so different requires a will and determination beyond that of normal people, you embody the spirit of Liberion and now you can embody that spirit as Americans. That being said if any of you need more time the you are free to do so, this is oath of allegiance is required but we'll let you take some time to think about it. If you need that time you're free to walk away." General Mason said, as he watches the groups of Liberion solider's, only ten walked away.

"Now if their are no more questions we can proceed with your inauguration into the American military. Stand at attention." General mason said.

"Raise your right hand and repeat after me."

"I state your name."

"I insert TEMP and witch name."

"Do solemnly swear"

"Do Solemnly swar"

"Too support and defend"

"The constitution of the United States of America"

"Against all enemies, foreign and domestic"

"And to bare true faith and allegiance to the same"

"That I will obey"

"The orders of"

"The president of the United States"

"And the orders of"

"Those officers"

"Appointed over me"

"According to rules and regulations of the uniformed code of military justice"

"So help me God."

"Congratulations Americans." Mason said.

London Britannia 1942. Jane Thach.

The Liberion witches have just went through the Oath of enlistment and were currently lounging about, president Underwood was still in negotiations and they were now assigned as "Protection detail" heavy emphasis on the protection.

"So we're in the American Military, I have to admit I don't feel any different, though I don't know if that's a good or bad thing." Jaime said.

"Yeah, I'm still uncomfortable with all this and am still having a hard time believing this, even after everything I've seen and done I still think I'm going to wake up in my bunk on the Big E." Dorothy put her two cents in.

"Alright Jane what's going on!?" Jaime said to her CO who was still spacing.

"Just culture."

"Don't give me that BS! I can see it in your eyes! What is the REAL problem!?" The Marine witch said now getting the attention of her Liberion Witches.

"Sigh, I've seen something I WISH I had NEVER seen, and it will haunt me to the day I die." Jane said with a far off look that scared the others.

"What happened?" The three others asked.

"You know why America is soo cloak and dagger about sharing their history?" Jane said getting nods from the others.

"Well, you know Adolf Hitler?" Jane said

"Yeah I don't think theirs many people who don't know that name. His paintings are especially popular and even more so with the patriotic paintings he's made about Karlsland being retaking." Dorothy said.

"In the History of America and Canada Hitler is the ruler of Karlsland and he was hell bent on conquering the world. Worse still, he ordered the mass murder of Jews and other people." Jane just said witnessing the shocked looks of her friends.

"WHAT!?" They said, so Jane began telling them of what she knew.

"I-I can't even believe it." Dorothy said nearly crying.

As they all contemplated on that a knock was heard.

"May I come in?" A women said

"Can I help you?" Jane said getting back to solider mode.

"Yes I was told to find you Jane. Since you are now all American military personnel you maybe redeployed to various rolls." The woman said getting shocked looks.

"What!? But we've been together since the start of this! What will happen to our unit!?" They all asked the woman.

"Well first off I'm here to tell you that the President wants to talk to you personally Thach." She said as she saw the shocked look of Thach and the other three witches.

London, March 3rd 1942 2:00 PM.

The world leaders were amazed by the technology of the Americans and Canadians, Underwood wished he could have recorded the looks and reactions his other world leaders showed when they saw his IPhone 9. Though prime minister Collins did recorded the thing with a Galaxy. (Unbeliever)

As Underwood was browsing the various paintings in the room one painting got his attention, it was of Witches and Whermact solider's on top of the Reichstag hoisting the Karlsland flag in victory.

'Quite ironic, in this world it would be Germans that raise the flag of their nation and in their Capitol instead of the Russians.'

But it was the name on the painting that caused Underwood to drop his glass of alcohol.

'Shader'

The noise of the broken glass was enough to get the attention of everyone there to see what had happend.

"Is their a problem mister president?" Churchill asked the stunned American.

"W-Who made this painting?" The President asked in a stunned voice.

"Ahh! Stunned by the beauty of that painting I see! That is our greatest painting done by Karlsland's greatest painter, Adolf Hitler." Kaiser Frederick said in a proud tone.

Now it was the Canadians turn to drop his glass, slowly almost robotically he walked over to the painting and shared the stunned look as his counterpart.

"It can't be him!?" The Canadian PM said in a hushed tone.

"It makes since! This is a different world with the Empires of Europe still intact so it makes since. Still, to think in this world he made it as a painter." Underwood said.

"Is something wrong?" Maria asked the two leaders.

"No, it's just Hitler is a 'famous' person in our world as well." Underwood said trying to down play the situation.

"Oh!? Well then what is one of Karlsland's greatest citizens like in your world?" The Kaiser asks with ignorant bliss.

"Well," collins said. "He was born in Austria, err Östmark. He wanted to be a painter but failed in becoming one. But his fame is far more known then his passion for painting." The PM finished.

"Hitler fails in becoming a painter?! How is he famous then?" The Kaiser asked again.

"That's not really important for now, all you need to know is when he died in 1945 one of the last words he said was that "in a thousands years my name shall still be known." And he was right." The Canadian said.

"Wait! He dies in three years!? You have to tell us and how we can stop him!" The Kiaser said in panic.

'Shit!' Collins and Underwood thought at the same time.

"Hitler killed himself due to 'life' crushing down on him. But since this is a different world that probably won't happen." Underwood said.

"Excuse me Mister president." An aid said interrupting the conversation.

"General Alexander and the Witches are waiting for you sir." The aid said.

"Thank you. Well looks like I'll be leaving now. Good luck Collins." Underwood said as he walked out.

'Wanker!' Was all the Canadian thought as he was left to discuss Hitler.

"Alright what can you tell me on supplies General." Frank asked his expert in military logistics.

"Well mister president we've hit some set backs." Alexander told the president.

"That's too be expected, but how bad of a set back are we talking about?" Frank asked her.

"Well, pretty bad sir, there is a number of logistical challenges facing us, to name a few, our forces in Africa are nearly completely dependent on carrier support since the runways in this timeline are not made to use jets, same situation applies for Europe only much worse since our bases are not here. Our VTOL'S and helo's are the main ways we're bringing in the supply's. As you may have remembered during the Iraqi war for Kuwait we used cargo planes to send most of our supply's over their. While we are using the same operations we can't continue that means of resupply."

"Why is that General?" Frank asked.

"Well sir we don't have the fuel to do it indefinitely, America by this time err ww2 era; was self efficient during WW2 but since that's not much of an option 75 years later we may have to use our own oil reserves. Remember sir, the Middle East's oil is still untapped here, which is good and bad, if we can get the oil out of the Middle East again we'll be more then well supplied, on the other hand we don't know how the Neuroi will respond to that, in short sir when we go to Saudi Arabia and other areas for oil it will need MASSIVE protection and that will in turn draw Neuroi attention."

"I see, anything else General?" 'Kevin Spasey' asked.

"Just that Africa will need three more weeks minimum for resupply, two more months at most. Europe will need at least half a year."

"Well dam." Underwood simply said.

"Sir what about our solider's? The American military is trained too kill HUMANS not ALIENS, and if more Laser shooting Neuroi that Willet encountered come what will we do? Our's and Canada's military maybe 80 plus years ahead in this war but we're not trained nor prepared to fight aliens." Alexander told the president with justifiable concern in her voice.

"I've thought about that, we'll need the help of the TEMP forces more then they need us. They now how to fight these things, but it will work out somehow Alex." Frank told her.

"And what of these Witches? There is already large protesting back in America about them, granted it's not out of hate but concern, I trust Willet's judgement and views on the witches but we'd be breaking war laws on child solider's." Alexander said.

"I know what you mean, but that law does not exist in this world, and it's going to be hell if we don't have their help." Frank just said.

"But In the mean time I'm putting you in command of all our resupply efforts. Continue with resupply operations, and make Sure Africa gets the most attention. If we can secure Africa well be able to get into the Middle East and the Oil and that takes priority, Europe is secondary until then." Underwood told the general.

"Yes sir we'll get it done."

As Thach and her friends were waiting another witch came into the room as well.

"Oh? Fancy meeting you here Jane." Was the reply of Major Jamie Doolittle

"Major!" The Liberion witches all said in a salute.

"At ease girls. I'm assuming you were asked to be here because the President wanted to speak with you as well?" Doolittle asked.

"Yes ma'am." The others said in reply. as they were all talking about the situation Underwood finally came in.

"At ease girls." Frank said as they all stood at attention.

"I'll get to the point. As best I know Marshal Galland is in command of the Witch Corps correct?" Frank said.

"Yes sir that is right, and she is an excellent leader." Jamie Swett said.

"From what I've heard she is. But with America and Canada arriving here it has caused unforeseen effects most of which are still to be seen. Bottom line all Liberion Witches will be under the Command of brigadier general Doolittle." Underwood said looking at Jaime seeing her shocked face. (Side Note Congress usually choose Generals but for the sake of the story I'm going to ignor that fact so things can get done)

"Excuse me sir!?" Jaime Doolittle said.

"You heard me right, while I don't doubt Galland does a fine job at leading the Witches, with our arrival we'll need to better understand your powers and capabilities, as well as integrating you all into the appropriate branches of the armed forces. And you'll be the one in charge of all US witches." Frank just said

"B-But sir! I'm just a Major, I don't know if I can do this and Galland is a wonderful woman as well. And I don't even know about your world or nation or how it works or anything!" Jaime said in fair objection.

"Fair enough, but you'll be given a crash course as well as have trusted advisers to help you. You'll mainly need to manage the positioning of Witches into proper units as well as proper fields of testing. I'm sorry Doolittle but this is an order." Underwood simply said.

"Ye-yes sir." Jaime said still a little hesitant.

"Good. As for you four." Underwood said to the four Liberion now American Witches of the 508th

"I've talked with the other leaders as well as Galland, your unit will accompany Admiral Willets fleet, the USS Ford will be your new home base for the 508th since that new Neuroi type nearly destroyed your current fleet. We're doing this so we can get a good understanding for how you witches fight and capabilities." Underwood said to the surprised group.

"Do our friends know about this?" Cecelia asked

"yes they are being informed as we speak, I want you four to be ready for deployment to Africa in a week." The president told them.

"Why Africa? Europe is the more important theater." Dorothy said

"Because if we can kick the Neuroi out of Africa we'll have a clear path to the Middle East, and it's the Middle East that is the most important area in the world." Underwood told them.

"Why is that?" The American Witches asked.

"Because the worlds oil supplies out in the Middle East." Underwood simply said.

hope this is to your likeing! This can be considered a filler chapter. As some may know colonel James Doolittle was the man who lead the retaliatory strike against Japan after Pearl, he and his men bombed Tokyo.

Anyways enjoy!
