Introduction

"The principle difference in conflicts was the African union conflict which because there was no nationalist state much less the three which developed. While the technology was no where near as advanced, they, South African Union, had two advantages their fervor and their numbers.

The South African Union to counter the immensely armored Tanks of the Allies and Axis. So they built massive tanks with huge slabs of armor slung over the vehicle, given the lack of dedicated armor production they often fused two Armored Personnel Carriers, using the two engines, and tacking on a third and then tacked on huge cannons, using Soviet plans, they constructed AKs to equip their troops, old Soviet Tanks, even old aircraft, in the early phases we shot down numerous Yaks. The SAU deployed biological and chemical weapons. Additionally utilized a massive series of defensive walls, and bunkered trenches, with large towers with cannon, as well as Guard towers, SAM sites, turrets, as well as concealed tunnel networks, and shoulder fired anti armor or anti air missile sites.

These defenses were unnoticed initially because they were considered harmless, the SAM, and shoulder fired sites, just weren't advanced or sophisticated enough to damage high flying air craft, and given the situation of the degeneration of the US and Soviet relations.

This series of conflicts took a span up unto eighty six. With progressive increase in the technology on all sides, with large industrial facilities built to produce the war machines of the SAU. Dracaena up until the Chancellery declared war unanimously after the attack on southern Carthage, and United Arab States that we decided to act, extensive air campaigns, the attack against the Western Nationalist States of Africa, drew the allies into the mess, confident in their Manifest Destiny, and their belief in inherent superiority the SAU pressed on. ADORE 7 launched from what would have been Suadi Arabia, in our time line, and subsequently laid waste to the initial offensive thrust against Axis territory. The resulting air attack lead by the luftwaffe and other Axis air forces dropped 500 tons with in the first twenty hours, this was for the purpose was to as it did was to punch a gaping whole through their defensive wall.

Meanwhile, during the South African Union's build up of arms and defenses in the mid seventies, a large portion of South America, and later on in the decade Mexico degenerated into revolution. This allowed the US Expeditionary Force, which was deployed to quell the violent anarchy to secure a stable government; Mexico once a stable interim government was established was then admitted into the union. In Canada, however there was a slight problem, the population was divided over whether to revolt against the slowly more and more monarchy controlled United Kingdom and join the United States, this move particularly support by western Canadian provinces, and then the Crown supporters, who desired to continue to be apart of the Commonwealth.

While Poland and Kalingrad were being accepted into the Dracaena states, and before the African Aggression Conflicts began Dracaena continued to commence it's more space and technology oriented expansion. Among such development were the dedicated fire support application, and of this increased research as well as an advancement in robotics and other machinery.

The SINEW are not a replacement to the ADORE, they are in fact a complimentary vessel, they boast superior power generation, as well greater interior space, as well as they, well that's still classified. The SINEW actually outstrips the ADORE and the UNIT in Fighter aircraft capability, how ever it lacks the dedicated battleship -esque gun platforms of the ADORE or the UNIT. Relying more on its Fighter complement, however it was armed with as I mentioned Directed Energy Weapons, unlike battleship style mounted weapons these were present in lighter turrets or rotating areas indented in the ships out hull, the ships more noticeable weapons are the Anti matter batteries, its heaviest and as I said most noticeable weapons, designed for heavy fire support, these were highly accurate against anything moving that was larger than a tank column, so any bunker or any building stationary was dead meat.

The Russian Hawk was as I said outfitted with Tesla weapons, as well as more conventional projectile weapons, however it also wielded a serious advancement in directed energy, a powerfully focused lance of super heated dense collective blast of particles which while slow in firing could literally burn through most armor, as well as accurately target threats.

The Olympia is equipped with the first large scale Tesla similar energy weapon, unlike the Soviet counterpart, it fired a massive much more focused beam of electric energy. In addition it carried a greater fighter capacity than the Orgel Airborne Warship.

I mentioned previously that borders changed, Soviet Poland, a further blow to Khrushchev political status, with drew from the United Soviet Socialist Republics, and immediately applied, as planned to the Dracaena States, Kalingrad also revolted, to finalize the joining an ADORE, number three, was present. Shortly after ward Germanicus, as long had been suspected would be done, unified with what had been up until then nationalist Poland.

Oh and joy, the Cuban Missile crisis occurs, worse than last time. A U-2 flight over Cuba takes photos of Soviet nuclear weapons being installed. A stand-off then ensues the next day between the United States and the Soviet Union, threatening the world with nuclear war. Eight days later in a televised address, U.S. President John F. Kennedy announces to the United States the existence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. The resulting blockade signifigantly raises complaints from the Greater Soviet Union, who Stalin by proxy complains to the Axis High Senate. The Scinfaxi and the Fenrir, along with Soviet Altanic and Axis Atlantic Navy forces to secure the supply of seaborne trade. In nineteen sixty four, November 22 In Dallas, Texas, United States President John F. Kennedy is assassinated, Texas Governor John B. Connally is seriously wounded, and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson is sworn in as the 36th President. All television coverage for the next three days is devoted to the assassination, its aftermath, the procession of the horsedrawn casket to the Capitol Rotunda, and the funeral of President Kennedy. Stores and businesses shut down for the entire weekend and Monday, in tribute.

The third event, though this one classified, occurred on Russian Soil. A piece of a far longer lasting problem. The primary issue was an elite former member of the US special forces soldier currently with in the employ of the CIA infiltrating a top secret Soviet facility to 'rescue' a defecting scientist, and stop Col. Volgin, a staunch supporter of Stalin, Krusnechev is nearly framed for the stealling the in development Shagohod nuclear armed tank, designed by Dr. Sokolov, his proclaimed rival had put forth another project walking tank, Metal Gear, also equipped with nuclear weapons, the name of this man was Director Granin, the idea is similar to the Dracaena Armored Bipedal Project, who the previous time line's metal gear were aleady a part of, which the ideas were quickly acclimated into. The Shagohod was eventually destroyed at Volgin's military fortress in Groznyj Grad. Additionally it would appear that the US were hoping to acquire the money comrade Volgin intended to present to Stalin, the money, which was the fortune, approximately one trillion dollars by current market value, of the now destroyed Illumanti, codenamed Philsopher's legacy.

After the nuclear detonation about half way through this mess Drachenorden forces, at the request of Stalin, I would I have deployed them anyway, who at the time feared a possible coup desired a third party intervention. At the end of the mission Volgin's corpse is successfully retrieved and presented to Essex for study as he requetsted, and half the money is recovered, the other half falling into the hands of the United States, we believe to specific a radical portion of the US. Volgin is labeled by the Soviet Union a Fallen Hero, and Krusnchev is placed under suveillance by the GRU, as for the elite American is revealed from various tissue samples to be a genetically superior being, possessing the as they have since been labeled 'soldier genes'.

Kennedy's assassination then, after we handle the joint military drills, oh and one other thing to mentioned it was during this era that the mainstay of the populous was reintroduced to 'mythological' species... like griffins… or dragons."

Axis Empire, Europe, Gaul, Provence, Paris, City Isle, Dracaena consulate

The day would become known as the Bloody Eclipse of Gaul. The counter attack against the résistance introduced the ADORE series II's orbital insertion ability, the ADORE nine leveled out at three hundred meters above the city declaring the arrival of Axis reinforcements, primarily of the Orden and Dracaena. Additional knights launched from the aerial warship rail guns locked on propelling anti infantry flechete munitions at velocities of mach nine,

The grand master of the order of the Dragon's own battle had been concluded some time after the arrival of the ADORE the creature had escaped after Asran had slashed a line through the creature's stomach Gram having sent a pulse of pure and highly destructive energy, which perforated muscles, and stomach as well as probably inflicting sever organ damage.

The fact of the matter was quite clear Himmler's SS had failed to locate and stop the attack before hand.

The Duke of Kiev tapped his foot angrily. "Tell me you found something." He commented as Essex gestured him over.

"Indeed I have the man is Amschell Goldsmitt," the death eyed knight glowered, "Ah but we knew his name did we not, I believe you said he introduced himself, carrying on the Goldsmith Financial empire mostly transposed to the United Kingdom and America how ever did you also know Mr. Goldsmitt is indeed a Victorian born man." The scientist announced.

"He is a vampire age is of little concern." The death eyed knight responded.

"Not what I was implying" he replied giddily. "The destruction of a châteaux in Bordeaux is what we really should concern our selves with for there is, well before its destruction is where we should start, yes, yes, I believe we should return to headquarters for this." He turned, "oh and my lord with the return of the peerage well… its not really my place but I think we should be wary of England," he commented, "we never did identify the cause of those dimensional disturbances."
"I already know the cause of those disturbances, Essex," the time traveler replied,

"Yes, however my lord, the people involved in the incident, are all siblings, and they have knighthoods now," he responded, "I think its reason to be concerned…"
"Duly noted Essex, and we have not ignored them, however these are tense times." He stated, "I am aware they have all achieved knight hood."
"That nation its world is in the library," Essex stated.

Axis Empire, Dracaena, Imperial Duchy of Kiev, Headquarters of the Order of the Dragon

All in all the world was proceeding fairly decently; besides certain elements, Hitler had taken his classical empire fetish to new heights ever since the war had ended, to pretty much levels of society pre Christianity; perhaps because of his encouragement of pagan revivalism, though this served his own political purposes, keeping the power of the masses away from the Holy Father in Rome. Buildings designed in Neo classical and medieval style architecture forms flourished. Knightly orders reemerged, and not just in the empire, there aristocracy regained power. Though magic was being reintroduced to the public, dragons and griffins and such especially magical abilities and other advanced powers were considered steps in evolution, not just among the Aryan race, the Drachenorden and the Thule especially boasted high percent of magic users and were well known now to the populous men hailed as heroes through out the Empire.

The Duke of Kiev sat at his desk; this was typical, nothing odd about the grandmaster of the Drachenorden to be working on any varying paper work. The death eyed knight glanced up. "It is extremely rude," he commented, "to enter with out knocking."

Neither party, neither the newcomer or the owner of the office, seemed particularly bothered by the low light conditions. At the same time the woman made no signs of acknowledging the chastising.

"Elysium,"

"what," he hissed.

"I said Elysium," she responded leaning over the desk.

"What of it," the death eyed knight replied, Asran maintained eye contact.

"I think you should return,"
"You think?" the duke of Kiev retorted harshly. "You think," he snarled. "And why should I care what you think,"
"your armor perhaps?" she continued on materializing said armor.

"I have no reason to go back there,"
"Stop being petulant, it was only a few mortal," giving a blasé wave as she spoke.
"You are on dangerous ground woman," the death eyed knight hissed a massive aura surging through the building.

"Fine, a reason you want," she drawled, "territory, land, new recruits, resources, what more could you want, a new conquest, its in disarray "

"Go," he breathed sternly, "I will make my decision shortly,"

Axis Empire, Multi national War Games, UNIT 2, bridge, Mission: coordinating Air Ground command for mountain forest combat

Asran stood up as to be expected the Axis military multinational war games were proceeding smoothly a pair of MIGs flew aside two Messersmitts 353. "Their flying well." Commented Goring.

"I agree commander signal fighter to commence Phase Two have ADORE three begin attack run against targets." The death eyed knight ordered, the large airborne warship furled its wings and commenced its high altitude dive its missile batteries locked into place.

The soviet commander blinked as the massive 'air battleship' as the German's insisted on calling it still, leveled out in mid flight. A flurry of guided missiles launched simultaneously.

"Sir the tank column has reached bingo local." Announced the relay officer.

"Acknowledged." Asran his ear. "ADORE three you have forty five seconds to clear ground defenses."

Kampfer chuckled over the radio. "Affirmative, mein herr." Another wave of targets were immolated designating light emplacements. The Dinar VIII rail guns swiveled and began to fire impacting the dummy targets with lethal precision. Reichsmarschall Goring rolled his eyes.

"twenty seconds," breathed an operator.

The intercom came to life. "All targets destroyed Mein Herr."

"Show off," grumbled the head of Luftwaffe.

"twenty seconds until the tank column reaches now cleared target perimeter." Announced a red army officer.
"Sire twelve Aria Mark IIs just cleared sensors for the second line they are running silent." Announced a dracaena officer.

"Battlefield prerogative of a knight is to go where the trouble is," muttered Goring.

"Enemy second line armored base has been completely annihilated by the Arias," announced an operator

The Soviet commander blinked, "That was very fast," he acknowledged.

"maximum accuracy supreme power" echoed a Drachenorden officer.

"Tank column Alpha has arrived all troops mission accomplished primary and secondary objectives achieved." Announced the operators.

"Good job," congratulated the death eyed knight.

"Herr Asran incoming message from Grand Admiral Donitz… Naval drills completed all objectives achieved 94 percent."

"Not bad Donitz," grumbled Goring.

Asran surveyed the transmitted results. "Karl was the senior operative, if this is right, the co operation was better than expected between," he paused,

"You mean the UAS and Gaul didn't get into an excessive argument over their drills." Grunted the supreme head of the German Air Force, that wasn't all of course, but they weren't going to say the other cooperation issue in front of the Reds, just wouldn't have been polite.

Everything had gone accordingly albeit simulation of Allied terrains probably would not go over real well.

Axis Empire, Dracaena, Ukraine, Dragon United Military Command Headquarters (DUMCH)

Asran glanced about the Drachen orden and Dracaena United Military Command. Information reports it was early evening all around clocks displayed the times around the world one for each of the major time zones.

"Herr Asran." The general saluted.

"Elevate condition of alert to level 2 alert status." The death eyed knight stated. "Orange." He added.

"Yes sir." The general clicked his heels.

The year was nineteen hundred sixty, November; the president of the United States of America was in Texas, Dallas to be precise.

"All confirmations are in grandmaster we have now elevated to Condition II, Alert Status Orange."

Asran nodded in acknowledgement. 'If Kennedy is assassinated it will do well to be prepared. In the previous timeline the world had very nearly gone to war over the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with only two superpowers, though now it could easily in this time count the number of three if you counted the original Axis as a whole, or five if you separated the powers to count, Germanicus, Dracaena, and Imperial Japan alongside the United Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America.' The Duke of Kiev watched as the clock ticked away.

"Sir Babel is in position." Announced an air force officer.

The main screen flickered on revealing the city of Dallas; it zoomed in on an open air car.

"Sir," inquired one of the officers. "Should I prepare?" he inquired the duke of Kiev nodded cutting him off.

"Activate Missile counter measures." Stated Asran quietly with bated breath. He sat down on the central chair.

"Sir counter measures are all on release state."

The ring of screens circling the room displayed fully unveiled concealed silos, some built into the very side of mountains.

Axis Empire, Dracaena, Ukraine, Imperial Duchy of Kiev

Kennedy was dead. The governor of Texas was injured, quite frankly there was no disputing it, and the fleets were weapons hot, both sides ready to tear into one another, nuclear missiles ready to fly off into the sky.

And here in Dracaena, the grandmaster of the Imperial Order of the Dragon rested at his desk, the chancellery had not said anything on the matter, it had been a week since the shooting Dallas, the gunman was, well Lee Harvey Oswald was dead, Kennedy was dead to.

This was worse than the Cuban missile crises the previous year, Fenrir, SSCN 05, and SSCN 02, Scinfaxi, had been deployed, now all seven of them of their were ready three stationed in the pacific three in the Atlantic, and one in the Baltic.

All with missiles and aircraft ready, the two Zilants, CVSN 09 and 10 respectively, already built, were also deployed, UNITs had been moved to optimum locations to intercept Allied Missiles. The ADOREs were well if war broke out they would be on the front lines. This was much worse than Cuba, and their had been two super aircraft carriers submarines and a flotilla of capital heavy weight surface ships on either side.

The phone rang, the duke of Kiev answered. "Ya,"

"Herr Asran," the man's voice was tense but he seemed a little relieved. "The Americans," he stated almost as if he did not believe it to be true just yet, "They are standing down." He whispered. "The Soviets they are following suit." The officer on the other end continued.

"Acknowledged," Asran smiled quietly he set the phone down on the receiver.

Looks like the world would not end today.

Axis Empire (Technically), Soviet Union, Russia, Groznyj Grad

"I don't think Essex will be pleased that the body is do badly burned, and has multiple gunshots," commented the Baron of Luxor, as the body of Col Volgin was loaded away.

"It is still viable, if only barely." Asran commented. "Most the blood is still in tact."

The Duke of Kiev turned walking across the muddy ground.

"What do we know about this American?"

"Decorated Green Beret served in the early action Vietnam." Announced Kampfer. "His mentor was that wretch who launch the attack on SS Headquarters in France on June eleventh in forty four in Normandy, I'm sure you remember the Cobra Unit we are dealing with them, Mein Herr."

"Wonderful," grumbled Asran, "chances of the spirit medium and the Druid showing up?"

"We have confirmed at least the American Sniper his forest materialized but we aren't locating his life force,"
"Find him, the medium?"
"Killed in an earlier battle sire," responded Isaak Ferdinand von Kampfer bowing. "Sir, we have an ASN intelligence operative present."
"Do we," The death eyed knight commented with a smirk. "How very interesting."

Harsh Future the third Reich is victorious the culture Nazi Empire if this occurs will likely hold some similarities to the Dominion of Draka, it is likely rating will increase to M, the non M rated Harsh future will if written will feature all Axis states united in one large multi continental empire, meaning a tightly unified (Roosevelt will survive much longer than in reality, Hitler is succeeded after his death by a leader who wished to build the Third Reich into the greatest empire to ever exist, additionally the US will expand to encompass both American Continents) On the subject of the Nazi leader, no fucking idea, maybe Heinrich Himmler, but probably not
