The new Virtihawk assault gunship flew under the cover of night through the backwater that was South Africa. Behind it were two older Virdibirds, on board all of them were Mercenaries lead by Rouge herself. With there being little to no work left in the USA, their only choices were to either head to South America until the work down there dried up or they were pushed out by people who were more established. Or take the 'British Contract' which was an offer extended to any Merc willing to swear an Oath to the Queen and re-establish British control over British Africa. Not everyone was on board about having to swear an Oath of loyalty, however people were more willing to jump on board when they promised to make Rouge the official Royal Governor of South Africa. The first thing they have to do however is meet up with the Bohr resistance fighters who are currently in Rebellion against the South African government.
"So mum, what's the plan if the Bohrs don't agree to work with us?" Wayland asks.
"Then we will have no choice but to kill them. We can't allow a group that could possibly lead an insurgency against us to run free." Rouge replied.
"Understood."
Once the Mercs arrived at the meeting location, they all got out of their shuttles and met face to face with the Bohr leadership.
"You must be Rouge? The leader of the Afterlife Mercenaries." The man said in Afrikaans, however implants of course translated all of this.
"And you the leader of the Bohrs?" Rouge replied.
"Indeed. You're here because you want to help overthrow the Zulu?"
"Of course, with a few stipulations. My employers wish to establish their own control over the region. However you play along and you will have a place within my government."
"No, I will not throw off the chains of the Zulu, just to place on the chains of someone else!"
Rouge eyes glows and all of the Merc's aim their guns at the Bohr. "Think about it again. My bosses plan to be hands off and you will only be dealing with me and me alone. You will not overthrow the Zulu without us, however with my help, not only will you do so, but your government will have the political backing of both the USA and the British Empire."
He thinks about it for a moment before saying. "Fine, but you will have no say over how my people live their lives."
"That's fine as I am not here to govern, I am here to conquer and get paid. Now we take the capital at sunrise. Don't be late."
The Mercs get back into their shuttles and head to attack the capitol building.
"So mum, what's next?" Wayland asks
"Next we storm their government building, kill all of their leaders and declare that South Africa is now under the control of the British Empire. At the same time the Bohrs should be taking control of the streets to drive the point home."
"Ah, that's why we needed them."
"Under normal circumstances taking over the capital wouldn't mean anything, but South Africa is so backwards of a country that all you have to do is wipe out the government and show a little bit of force in the streets and the military won't do anything."
"Aren't you concerned that the Bohrs might want to do a bit more than just take over the government?"
"I know they will, and this is why I have plans to relocate the entire western Black population to the East, and give the Bohrs the Cape."
"Do you think it will work?"
"It has to as both sides keep upping the ante on how much they hate each other."
"Only one way to find out I guess mum."
