By the way all event you are reading in this chapter but not seeing will be written about in the future, basically showing the last couple of years in each side of the war, the war will end in 1909, so basically next chapter will tell you who won in the North American side of the war, but that doesn't necessarly mean that the whole alliance wins in this case mind you. P.S. Sorry for the long wait, plus I plan on doing a Fanfiction on the Civil War of America, so expect that coming along with this one, as I ponder how to do the following ninety years in chunks of the world war to the cold war. Basically it will be a side project as this one in the end, if all goes well will end up being a hundred thousand words, with at max 100 chapters.
Chapter 35: The Great War Part 7, Interstate Warfare part 3
After the crushing loss of their Aircraft carrier the Grand Republic was at low moral, particulary the Naval component. The Republic however still manages to hold on to its borders, and even made some progress into the Mexican lands, taking baja California, and at least half of its east coast. The Canadian front was going poorly however as the constant inability to make progress there makes it near impossible for the stalemate to break. The American front however was still progressing well leaving it only with Alabama to South Carolina.
The European allies of both sides have finally started to send naval and land support, both constantly battling in the Atlantic, each hoping to be the first to link their alliances up. The two sides have been having hell with each other over the last couple of years now in its third year of war in 1908 now the Russian Revolution had knocked Ivan clean out of the war having to with draw surrendering land to Japan leaving China alone in Asia, and European side of the Grand Alliance has been considerably weaken by this as well now no longer holding its connective ties with Asia through Russia.
The French and British have been pushing viciously into Africa slowly pushing the Byzantine colonial empire back. The Germans and Scandinavians were currently invading the British isles while the Byzantines were cutting swaves through the French lands. The South American countries have joined sides with the Former Portugess colony of Brazil aiding the Byzantines, but Argentina aiding the British, as well as this the Spanish have joined on the British side as well.
The Grand Republic of Sincere stood across looking into the Canadian wilderness, "Truly brutal landscape this is." He said and sighed, "Three years have passed, and I've yet to even dent them… hmm maybe if I used that captured technology. I was hoping to save this for the future, after the war, but I've no choice now." The Republic walked away into a farm building. As he walked in the brisk air of the fall had blown inside following him. He looked up at the refurbished tank, redesigned to be a truly deadly assault machine, machine guns mounted on all four sides with a shrunk artillery piece on the top. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful." The Grand Republic of Sincere patted the metal that made up the Ceaser mark I tank. On the side of the Tank were the famous words written in Latin, "I came, I saw, I conquered."
The Republic laughed a bit to himself, "Foolish Alfred, never show your strengths, your enemy will be able to replicate it eventually, but if your smart in using it they might not even know that you have it." The republic opened the hatch the troops that were stationed in the barn followed him. The Republic took the drivers seat, he turned the monster of a machine on and busted threw the barn doors. He turned the tank and began to drive it into the forests of Canada. When he was deep enough in, but not far enough away from the encampment on the border he fired a shell into the air lined with a special gas that followed the canaster. The Army stood up at least 50,000 men strong marching into the border, 10,000 were in trucks, 20,000 were on horse back, and the last 20,000 were on foot. They all moved with haste unlike any seen before wishing to have a swift victory over the Canadians and a foothold in the hostile land.
Matthew was quietly drinking some tea and sitting in his country side house, He knew that his lands were very rough, at least the places that are of value, and some are even very far out of reach. Then he heard a huge bang like some one had fired artillery into the sky, and out of no where a shell leading red smoke landed busting through his house. "Maple." Matthew sighed, and stood up covering his mouth with a cloth. The red smoke now clogging up all vision inside the house. He walked outside of the house and into the yard. He walked to the line that was outside his house, and dialed the number, this new technology being used all over the world was very fickled, "No way is this catching on." He said as he spun the dial. He waited a few seconds and then some one picked up, "Hello who is this?" Matthew spoke in his wisper like voice, "Canada." The man on the other side replied, "Who?" Then chuckled and said, "Yes sir what is you want?" Matthew sighed then replied to him, "Call the men to arms we are under attack." The man on the other side replied with a quick, "Sir, yes Sir!" Then the line went quiet and Matthew put the phone down.
The Republic was estatic at how well the fire went off. He busted open the hatch and took a deep breath and yelled to the now assembelled army, "The Canadians have avoided conquest for long enough! Though there is a lot of insentive in the republic to offer them white peace, I say nay! We unite the contient, Thus bringing the glory of the republics ideals to the world stage, its time we proved that we are as powerful as any of the Euro's! Now lets go and give them hell!" The fifty thousand men cheered and moved forward with the tank which was now moving forward at full pace. The Republic turned forward towards the winter stricken Canadian lands.
The Canadian military had some intelligence on the republic's military plans and knew that their first target was Toronto, Ontario. The Canadian's however had set themselves up in a dug in fasion with some trenches and a few artillery batteries set up behind this. Almost half of the Canadian military was there waiting for likely huge assult from The Republics aircrafts and motorized battalions. The first signs were seen after an hour or so as aircrafts were seen flying towards the city and just behind them was a tiny speck and that speck was moving faster than an army, but slower than the planes it was following. Then one of the Canadian soldiers took out some bionoculars and yelled, "Its an armored vehical!" The Canadians then turned to themselves and started asking questions like, "Has the US betrayed us? Did they capture the armor? What the hell?" These however stopped as the vehical fired its main gun putting a huge dent into the trenches.
Matthew yelling into one of his commanders ears to fire the artillery, which the commander relayed to the troops. The artillery started to fall on the armored tank, but they missed it, the tank still heading at full speed towards them. The airplanes had reached them and started to fire down on the troops manning the artillery, the planes however only made a short appearance after dropping their pay load. They faded off into the horizon most likely to prevent the freezing of their engines on this very cold day.
The Republic had popped the opening to the tank once more and looked out, "Great work boys!" Then ducked back inside to avoid a shot at him, his tank rolled forward and began to unleash its hell on the enemies. The Canadian military continues to try and hold of the ferocity of the Republics modified tank.
However the tank's fuel injection system started freeze up before the tank could retreat and was stranded in the middle of the battle field the Republics military trailing behind, to catch up. The tank however was able to be saved as the Republic's men made it in time to push it to the back lines. Once the hugely motorized force of the Republic made its final push into the Canadian fortifications it only took a matter of hours before the primitive blitzkrieg broke through the Canadian line causing a mass route. The Canadians had finally been pushed back.
I would like to apologize for the lackluster amount of fighting it just that this chapter has been staring me down for about thirteen or more days now and I wanted it done with so I could move on. After this will be the Russian Revolution and I pray to the lord I don't get caught up with that one as well. That will be in two chapters, and fair warning the next one wont be to terribly long as it will just be a rap up of the ending of the war in the American front.
