Several miles away from Dunkirk, Admiral Simpson's fleet is waiting for the incoming Spanish fleet. Hoping to catch them in a surprise attack, Simpson sends his submarines throughout the northern Atlantic to scout for the other fleets. Suddenly, the admiral receives a message from one of his submarines.
"This is the U-boat Alamo; we have contact with the Spaniards. They are heading for you admiral." said by the captain of the Alamo.
To ensure the complete destruction of the Spanish fleet, the admiral positions his ships to attack the Spaniards at the left flank with his steel ships on the front. By using the superior firepower of his ships combined with the sudden defection of Don Fernando and a third of the fleet, the admiral hopes to prevent the downfall of the Dutch navy.
Meanwhile, Don Fernando inside one of the battleships has carefully laid out a plan to ensure the safety of his life and those of his troops. He separates the fleet into two groups, Fernando, his ship at the right flank, and the other ships positioned to the left. Suddenly, they spot the American fleet and the left flank disengages from their position to confront them.
The American fleet fires the first shots, far enough that the Spaniards cannot return fire. Immediately, the CPOE fleet obliterated three of the largest ships of the Spanish fleet, but the rest continued. Don Fernando gives the signal to raise the CPOE flags, and thus declare their defection to the Americans. The Dutch, British, and French fleets perplexes by the sudden attack decide to continue head on to the Spanish fleet, with the Dutch navy leaving its allies behind. Don Fernando and his ships simply pass by the three fleets as the leaders of the United Province have agreed to let the defectors into their country. When the British and French fleets passed the defectors, their admirals opened their secret orders.
In the meantime, the Spanish fleet loses many of its ships with the few surviving ones go into a full-scale retreat. Fear struck the hearts the hearts of the surviving seamen as their much larger fleet is reduced to a fraction of the size, without taking out a single American ship!
The British admiral reads the letter: Destroy the Dutch navy. With a devious smile, he orders the British fleet to attack the Dutch navy. However, the CPOE fleet foresees their betrayal and now charges at them. Suddenly, Admiral Simpson receives a message from Danny Mason.
"Admiral Simpson do not engage the British and French fleets. I repeat, DO NOT engage!" said by Danny Mason.
Perplex by Danny's words, Simpson orders his fleet to standby. The British are caching up to the unaware Dutch and just as they are within firing distance, the French fleet fires their cannons at the British, which destroys five of their battleships. The CPOE and Dutch fleets watch as the British and French fleets destroy each other.
Flashback: (After Danny escapes from the port) Mack Qasim, replaces the contents of the letter with forgeries. When the French admiral reads the letter, it would clearly state: Kill the British.
"Hah, would you look at that! The British and French are fighting each other!" The Dutch admiral said to his first mate.
By the end of the battle, the four royal fleets are decimated, with the Danish fleet destroyed by bombs planted by scuba-diving commandos. Now Mike Stearns broadcasts his order throughout the entire CPOE army.
"Alright everyone let's show the League of Ostend who runs this continent. Commence Operation KINGDOM FALL!"
Each of the four countries of the League is faced with a series of attacks:
Denmark is faced with the wrath of a combined legion of one Israeli tank, Swedish artillery, and one thousand Swedish riflemen.
France faces rebellion from the Huguenots, the peasant masses while the CPOE air forces, and the brunt of the Swedish army decimates the French army.
Spain faces the 1st mechanize division, 7 tanks and twenty-seven armored personal carriers armed with Gatling guns, Vickers machine guns, flamethrowers and cannons. Furthermore, the Dutch navy is attacking Spain's coastal cities.
Great Britain suffers the most as it experiences a plague outbreak, as many of the mercenaries brought into the country were infected. England suffers a civil war between the CPOE supported rebels against the weakened royal armies. Worst of all, the American fleet is bombarding London!
Outgunned most of the royal armies surrendered after the initial assault. Cardinal Richelieu astounded at the ferocious attack on his country is pale with fear as even if France repulsed its invaders, his career is over and he will be sent to the gallows! Suddenly CPOE commandos burst into his room.
"There you are you sneaky bastard!" said by Mack pointing at the Cardinal Richelieu.
The leaders of the four nations are sent towards the United Provinces where the rulers of Europe and forced to sign a peace treaty with the following stipulations:
All four countries of the league will have a provisional government to enforce the peace treaty and laws of the USE
The American continent will be divided into two nations: The USA, which composes the present day US, and Canada, and the ULA, which composes of the territories of Central and South America.
Slavery is banned and offenders are sent into the gallows
Lastly, the countries of Western and Central Europe are integrated into the United States of Europe.
Charles I, Philip of Spain, Louis of France, and Christian of Denmark were the last to sign the treaty. With that, the soldiers of the newly formed USE erupt into a large cheer and large celebrations are held throughout Sweden and Germany as the triumphant soldiers return home. Meanwhile, Mike Stearns and Francisco Nasi look down at the Magdeburg celebration.
"We did it Mike, we have won against the tyrants of Europe!" Nasi said
"Its not over, there are others who would oppose our democracy. The Russians, the Chinese, and hell the Ottoman Empire could easily overwhelm us with sheer numbers!"
Nasi is sadden by his words
"Nevertheless, we did it! Awe heck lets get down there and join the party!" said by a cheerful Mike
The people celebrate their victory! What bigger adventures await the USE, find out in chapter 3: The end of tyranny
