Chapter 01
Warehouse 07, Fort Armathain, Gallia, EC 1931
"So this is where my stuff is being held" Sam let a furrowed brow over the base of operations, his stuff was inside here no doubt being reverse engineered like no tomorrow. His T-55K1 used the T-55A as a base for a command variant. No doubt that the gallian's had spent the last eight week reverse engineering the spare parts and looking at the technical readouts and blueprints for his weapons and vehicle as well as the T-62 series of tanks and his V2-SN powered version of the Mosquito aircraft. Which he re designed as a soviet refit. Following the soldier to the office of the general overseeing.
He doubted the public in Valkyria chronicles ever heard of two plane stabilization or even long barrelled 85mm to 100mm main guns. At least until now, apparently they had spent the last eight weeks getting the biodiesel perfected and everything they were working on was being worked on simultaneously according to the paper he got the from the officer that greeted him.
"Yeah, the General of the militia would like to see you" The soldier said as he opened the door for Sam to step inside. The office was spartan in comparison to what he had expected of a someone of this man's station.
"Ah mister hill, I've been expecting I'm general Alexander Kerensky" the man was a dark skinned person of six feet tall standing up in the Gallian Generals uniform, he had no hair and looked over his newest visitors strange attire "I'd love to have you on board of the type 34 weapons programme, to put things bluntly".
"Wait me?" Sam tilted his head as he stood there looking the general in the eyes "Why?".
General Kerensky smiled "It gives you a job and allows me to find more suitable clothing for you before you can go out on the streets".
Alexander wanted to try and find a way to prevent the other generals from conscripting this boy for their own gain. Unlike the other generals he was the former regent of the Cordelia's predecessor, Alexander could pull a few strings if Alexander had to.

In the internal testing, the type 34 medium and type 32 light tank has some promising selling points such as their long barrelled 85 and 100 milometer main guns having a Superior effective ranges and accuracy at range, it's ability to fight in the dark without exposing themselves was also a big selling point and finally their fire on the move capability. These tank were essentially a Gallia made copy of the T-55A and a heavily modified type 62 light tank.
"Impressive and very promising so far, pray tell why keep this from us?" Queried Borg as he was now curious and suspicious of where the team got the manpower and resources to pull this off in two years.
"It was primally a militia project, if the rest of the top brass found out they would likely put the order to stop or took over the project with no idea what they were doing" General Kerensky laid out his answer, what he did not say was which channels he went through.
Alexander wanted to make sure the production went smoothly so he added "This equipment is all already in the middle of mass production as we speak".
"What!?, without proper approval!?" Borg exclaimed before correcting himself and calming down "Well, if this project has yielded results, ambassador what you make of this?".
Ambassador Jean Townshend, the stout looking man next to the regent smiled and said "If I may, I would say I wouldn't mind negotiating a licence to produce all this equipment for the federation".
"Is that so? Well I wouldn't mind under certain conditions" Alexander said smiling back "After all I am still a Gallian officer".
"True, I'll agree to an extent the conditions laid out by the Gallian side of this deal, depending on what they are" With that Jean Townshend added "I'm curious of what you of all people get out of this".
Alexander let out a chuckle, "Don't worry, I'll see what we can meet in the middle on".

"They said someone would be heading the shipping of the new gear, didn't expect this"
Before the town watch were several supply flatbed trailers and two type 32 light tanks, with small arms and supplies to keep them fighting for a good five years. With type 31 assault rifles, which were clones of the type 56 in it's milled incarnation, type 32 sniper rifles, which are based on a milled PSL. Among other small arms. Noice remarked about the new equipment.
"Still not sure about this new equipment, but if we have time to train on them well we can fit some training sessions into the year"
As the town watch saw the contents of the supplies and vehicles being unloaded. Alicia's jaw dropped, but quickly regained her composure. As she observed the contents of the Gallian Supply convoy finished off loading she hatched a plan.
"We'll train on them, get to know the new gear"
Tank Range, Fort Armathain, Gallia, EC 1934
Sam's crew of four, short people were training on his personal T-55AK1 tank, the 'Erika'. It's 100mm main gun roaring they took potshots at the two kilometre away tank targets. As they were practising shoot and scoot. Along with a platoon of other tanks. This was to prepare in the event of a war breaking out.
After all, if you want peace then prepare for war.
