A Christmas Carol(not a merry one)

Verstummelung

An old man, stood infront of a classroom of eager young adults. They came from many nations, they came from many races, yet that didn't matter, their beaty eye's locked onto the old man. He wore a black sweater, and a pair of blue slacks, and brown shoes. He had thick glasses, and white hair. He looked old and rinkled. He held a black caine, with a condor on the tip.

The classroom was apart of the University of Verstummelung, the building itself used to be the home of one of Verstummelung's biggest labor/death camps for political prisoners and enemys of the state. Outside, snow begun to fall on the hologround, cursed by a war more than 50 years ago.....

The year was 2056, 50 years after the end of the war, the end of an empire.

The man turned to the crowd and spoke, a holographic computer displayed a map of Verstummelung, before the war.

"Our country, before the year long war. Our country was a peaceful place, 2004 was the year, Verstummelung had just concluded a war with the Nazi nation of Witzgall, the country was on the road to recovery......January 2nd, 2004, our Prime Minister's office was seized, his family was killed along with many other leading members of the Condor Political Party. A new dictator rose into play, his name was Ernist Galin. Ernist Galin, was from the city of Faust, he was the son of a Military officer, his father was a sadist, who tortured Ernist at a young age, thus why Ernist was a sadist himself, pain was all he knew."

The room fell into silence.

"Ernist, was from the military himself. He fought in the Witzgall war, and was wounded in the battle to hold the town of Ashlung, apparently friendly fire from a 105mm gun landed near him, resulting in Ernist to lose his left leg, he was also severly shell shocked, resulting in slight brain damage. After the war, he remained an officer, and with that he brought forth a revolution and started the Sadistic Party of Anti-Semitism. (SPAS)"

"Ernist thought of a way to show the world he wasn't joking, he set up deathcamps to wipe out his political foes, in this very building was the home to the biggest, Sherlink. He killed thousands without a moments thought, he wanted to have no opposition when his war begun."

The holographic projection turned, then a harbor potraying a massive battleship, it looked similar to the Yamato class super battleship, yet it looked as if it were able to go under water.

"I present the King Condor Class, Submersable Battleship. Three times the size and 10 times the tonage of the Japanese Yamato class, this ship had a top speed on the surface of 32 knots, and an underwater speed of 20 knots. She had 24 torpedo tubes, and 12, 62 inch rail guns, that were able to lug 10 ton shells up to 30 miles. Also 4 batteries of twin 34 inch guns. She came equipped with automated 10 inch gun batteries, anti-aircraft vulcans,and several surface to surface and surface to air missile launchers. She was a floating slaughter house. And the first of her class. The product of colaberation with the nation of Truitt. The ship you see is the Super Battleship Viscious, built under Ernst's rule."

The image moved to the Viscious surfacing off the Dugahh, of the nation of Truitt.

"The war begins."

*December 8th 2004.*
-Off the coast of Dugahh, nation of Truitt-
The Viscious's 12, 62 inch rail guns moved into positions, facing towards the island, aswell as he port 34 inch batteries, and port 10 inch guns, fell to bare onto their targets. Their order's were to slaughter the civilian population. With a mighty cry, the guns begun to open up, they fired in salvos, one battery fires only at a time to prevent the ship from rolling over. They each shot shell after shell, after shell onto the local civilian port, whilst cruise missiles begun waving down upon the small naval base, with devistating accuracy the Viscious's goal was to lay waste. The 34 inch gun batteries took pot shots at a cruise ship filled with elderly people and the anti-aircraft vulcans shredded the local fishermen boats. The mighty Verstummelung flag flew over the ship's mast. A war had started, and the civilians were to take the brunt of it.

113nm from Dugahh's Most Northern Point
The battleship firred several rounds at the coastline where many merchants and small fishery factories rested. One round flew with a large ram into a factory that manufactured tobacco. The shards flew in the air and the smell of burnning tobacco was all over. Soon several more hit, even more destruction than the first.
Dugahh was one of the few non-federally patrolled sectors in Truitt, and it just so happened to be a pysier in itself. It had a leftest-based military and almsot no navy but a few Asasiad-class SSAs for patrolling duties.

Sistway City, Farway
"Sir, we have flames and explosions all over the coast of Dugahh. We at first belived it to be a refinery's malfunction, but the seas are creating wakes, recoil from powerful guns." Said a satellite operator in Sistway City, a command post for Emerald Shield FP Sector.
"Suggestions on what it could be?" Asked the commanding officer. "I say send out a single patrol division to see what is up. Maybe send in some civil aid people while we are at it." The commanding officer nodded. He did not think to notify the Farway Pysic Command Center or the Federal Command Center in Raptior.

One Hour Later

The 7th Pysic T-Boat Patrol Division headed straight to Dugahh's point of assualt. Thier path just entered Yukien coastal waters, were five Truitti-made Yuke-class SSKs were waiting.

"Sir, we have five noisey submarines comming in from our port side. Sound a lot like Yuke-classes. Wait, I hear two other smaller submarines, probably Viking-classes. Yukien origan probably." Said the sonar operator onboard one of the eight Raptior-class SSD T-Boats. "Tell the two Portshires to head to our port side. Try to establish contact that we are not on a scouting mission, jsut a aiding mission." Said the Bridge Capiton. The sonar operator nodded.

The Viscious herself begun to generate large amounts of fake smoke, like a giant fog had moved in, she submerged quickly and begun to move inwards, silent running perhaps.

The Viscious left behind a trail of devistation, but on the bottem were hundreads of spent shell casings and dead fishermen.

Her corse sent her in towards Geosueeu, there she was to literly shell the island into submission, even if it ment engaging enemy vessels. At this point with armor so thick, it could withstand direct salvos from her own 62 inch guns, it didn't matter. Yet her weakness was the lack of ammunition supplys, with her guns so plenty, the ship couldn't carry as much ammuntion. After the recent bombardment, the ship had lost 10% of its ammunition.

The whole goal of Yuke's submarine attack was to divert the Aid sub's attention from the Viscious. The Viscious moved outwards to sea, to slip by.

The Viscious had slipped by, with that she moved into Geosueeu's largest harbor. She surfaced, she seemed like the devil had come out of the water, so large, and so powerful. With that, she unleashed hell.

Her 62 inch guns roared like a thunderstorm, her rounds were aimed at the large buildings, and because they were so close they could do maximum damage. Most of her gun's let loose, the goal was to trash the place, and land invasion troops. Which would be leaving the ship shortly. Cruise missiles, 34inch gun shells. 10 inch gun shells, and vulcan fire (20mm shells) went into the port. Whatever the ship had, she threw at the port. The buildings, the cruise ships, anything that wasn't friendly was a target.

As the large mammoth rose from the sea, the large bay was full of merchant ships. About thirty in all, not including three military ships on guard.

"Jimmy, we have wave movement outside the harbor." Said the Powerplant and Navigations Officer onboard one of the Asasiad-class SSAs on the outter edge of the bay. "We have a big ship, unidentified in restricted coastal space. Load and fire torpedo tubes one and two!" Said an other Powerplant and Navigations Officer on an other Asasiad. All of them armed thier two torpedo tubes and aimed for the large ship. Just out of no where a railgun muntion came blazing at two of the small submarines that were bunched up. The round hit neither, but the wake created killed the crews by shock and hitting the soft ocean surface. The other submarine firred a single torpedo before being directly hit by a torpedo from the massive vessel.

Before the ship left, the whole island was in flames. It had launched five missles that had hit key oil refineries and the railgun rounds had destroyed most of the coast line all around the area. Yukien amphibious forces were on their way, and probably ready to invade and fully take the island, adding it to one of the many sites of new military bases and supply depots.

*In the head Yuke-class submarine*

"We have a report from Maxmillion to fire on any Truittian naval units that move within range this effects all 20 squads as well as all random Viking units"

A few minutes after that

"Sir we have a small squad of Truittian submarines on the sonar we have already loaded the torpedos and are waiting your command"

"FIRE!!!! And if you see any more blow them out of the water also all units guarding the water border to pre-load torpedos and be ready to fire."

As the torpedos connect with the Truitt Naval units and they start to take on water the admiral reports to Maxmillion

"Sir we have sunken at least 3 naval units of Truittian origin"

"Excellent also get the troops loaded into the amphibs while truitt is still in dismay and get them on Truitt borders NOW!!"

"Sir they have already left."

"Oh um well excellent work now leave and go about your buisness."

At the moment the admiral left the public rights councilman came in

"Sir i don't think this alliance was a good idea things we're great with Truitt i think we need to AGHHHHHH!!!!"

Maxmillion standing there with his 9MM smoking at the barrel.

"Next time i will be more than your pride! TAKE HIM AWAY!!!"

"Sir, three submarinee, Portshires, hit. Two are taking on water heavily to the bottom, one is still floating, barely. The Yukien submarines are engaging." Said the sonar oeprator onbaord the TSV Constance, a Raptior-class.

"Load tubes one through eight with Yk50 Capitalist torpedoes, high impact, low range. We are already in range and the Yuke-class has a hard hull. Load in full respects and fire." Said the Bridge Capiton on the Constance.

The whole division, not prepaired for battle, loaded what little torpedoes they had, about half of their combat stores. They all firred randomly at each Yuke. No one even tried the Vikings, thier armor was very thin and could be broken with a solid hit.

After thirty torpedoes in all were launched and the Yukien forces were finished launching countermeasures, only two Yuke-class SSKs were taking on serious amounts of water and a single Viking-class was hit hard on the side with a high-impact low-range Capitalist, utterly destroying its whole right side.

Before the Yukien submarines could retreat or reload their tubes with countermeasures or torpedoes, two other Raptior-classes firred off four torpedoes each at the remainning un-touched Yuke-classes. The result: oen taking on low amounts of water and the other just having a small gap in the middle of its thick hull.

Sonar: Torpedo incoming!

Captain: Watch and see my good man....

The torpedo impacted, yet all the torpedo did was ripp open one armored layer. No flooding, just sheeded some of the ship's armor.

Sonar: No flooding reported sir.

Captain: The ship is like an onion, layers of armor protect it.

The First Officer walked onto the bridge with a smile on his face.

Captain: Good news to report?

First Officer: Very, our attack on Geosueeu was a huge victory. Yuke's forces are on the way, but in the meantime our Marines have raided the area, we've brought back food supplies, munitions for our rifle's and ten inch guns, but nothing extreamly valuble. We encountered light resistance, a farmer with a shotgun....we torched his farm, hung him upside down and used him as a pinyata. We did the same to his wife and we took his two teenage daughters with us back to the ship. We have taken more than 300 prisoners, most are male from the ages of 16-34, and the rest are female from the ages of 17-29.

Captain: I believe you've outdone yourself my student, contact headquaters, and prepare the internet auction, we shall sell them into slavery at once!

First Officer: Black Market E-bay I take it?

Captain: Ofcorse.

Two men walked in the armored bridge, they carried a boy sailor, he was about 17. He was beaten within an inch of his life.

Guard 1: This boy was caught "using" the merchandise.

Captain: Oh really now....

First Officer: What shall we do with him?

Captain: String him up on the mainmast, then I want him used as target practice.....

"Sir, we have information that the explosions on the far south coast are from something that had destroyed the whole bay. Permission to man the fortress." Said the Land Bridger of a M1A2 Abrams MBT. "Yes, man Fort Geosueeu, if it tries to attack, it will have a few problems." Said the Ground Admiral of Geosueeu.

Fort Geosueeu is designned to stop missles and aircraft from entering through the northern pass. The railgun rounds are just big enough to be targetted as missles. As to land assualt, tanks and infantrymen should prove hard to beat, btu there is only 670 men and 34 tanks, of which all are M1A2 Abrams with the exception of a few howitzers.

A direct railgun shell would not damage the fort ether, it being fully reinforced and actually designned to withstand a direct balistic missle barrage and still live.

"Sir, what if they set the oil refineries on fire?" Asked one man by a leading offical. The oil refineries lead all around the island, including the underground sections. Destroying those would mean the whole island would errupt in ether flames or dark clouds. "Lets hope we jsut accidentally blew ourselves up."

Captain: Well now that the Marines have had their fun, lets claim some land. Send in the Shocktroopers. And their tank division.

Officer: Yes my lord.

The port side begun to open slowly, as a moonpool like bay opened, releasing several landing craft. Atleast a division of 1000 troops, and 45 tanks (Leopard IIA6's and Tiger III's. Landed onto the port. They moved towards the fortress under bombardment of the 34inch guns hammering down on enemy positions.

Tank Commander: Infantry, move on our right flank, second Panzer groups on our left. Target any enemy soldiers you see, deserters will be shot....

The Viscious came about facing the habor. Her railguns and weapons fell silent. The ship seemed to have suffered some damage. Her bow now faced the harbor. Her two forward rail guns (three guns per turret,) three, twin 46inch gun turrets faced bow and atleast ten, twin 10inch gun turrets faced. Each of them took aim at the mighty fortress, the Captain looked over from the bridge.

Captain: I want every shell we can send, onto that fortress. I will not be happy unless I see our flag flying over their command structer....

In the forward most railgun turret, a blonde hair man with a pair of headphones on held a microphone in his right hand. He looked nervious for a second, and he yelled loudly "Fire!"

The Viscious's forward gun's all let loose like a set of dominos. They lobbed so many shells in the first few seconds it had seemed like the ship produced a title wave. The fortress was in for a present.

Fort Geosueeu

"Sir, we have landing craft on the beach. Wait, radar has shells, incomming!" Yelled the Plotter's Operator in the command tower just as a large impact was heard on the right side wall of the fortress.

Many more hits came in, but the wall only had major dents and heavy damage, no breaks.

As an other barrage hit, fire was returnned on the front wall. It was from the armored divisions. Rounds and rockets of pure metal and flames flew at the wall and the guard towers. The towers in return firred IR-homming rockets in the middle of infantry groups and tanks. Only two tanks were hit, the cold night was severely killing the system due to out-datedness.

"Sir, temperture is below zero degrees f., most of our out-dated infrered systems will not operate past one hundred feet. Also, two more attacks from these ships will cause the whole wall to break." He said agian after reading the information report on the wall and coastal detectors.

"Set all tanks and infantry still out there on alert and go up the hills into the forests. Destroy anything that gets on the beach." Commanded the Lead Guardsman outside the reinforced Q-Block wall.

230ft From Fort Geosueeu - 52nd Farway Pysic Patrol Escort Division

"Sir, we have incomming beaching craft!" Yelled the weapons controller onboard one of the many M1A2 Abrams MBTs. "Fire at them as soon as they touch the shore. Try to aim into thier escape doors!" Commanded the driver, turnning his little toy straight at the beach while under the cover of forestry.

The waters had seemed to run red, as landing craft took direct hits from shells from enemy armor. Yet by the time the land forces had left the ship, over 200,000 troops and countless armored vehicals. Who needed aircover when the Viscious turned to her starboard side and rained several 10inch and 64 inch shells on the armored divisions.

The railguns by this time, had started into their second Salvo. All on a focus point on the fortress's front wall. The whole point was to keep the enemy in a full retreat, so that the landing force could land safely.

Leopard A6's and Tiger III's made it to the beach, with deadly accuracy they unleased high speed Armor Piercing shells onto the retreating enemy. Infantry came close behind, most on fast moving light armored vehicals with up to 3 maybe 4 MG-42 mounts, spraying 8mm rounds into the backs of retreating troops.

The viscious Specials division even caught action aswell, they roared into the combat in quick moving Panzer units, with 20mm cannon on the top, spraying exploding shells onto enemy infantry. The battleship, now focused all of her guns she could bear onto the fortress, the third Salvo was due any minute, the forth was going to come down onto the enemy soldiers and literly exterminate them.

Forest - Beach Line -- Battle Front

The land craft were now so spred appart that the tanks had a hard time targetting an other craft. They then started firring at tanks on the beach. "Fire!" Yelled the driver of one of the five heavier towed howitzers, which unleashed a massive shell straight beside a Panzer, destroying its side and throwing escortmen in the air.

Three side-by-side Abrams MBTs firred thier missles at other tanks that just came out of a landing craft. One missle blew on the side of the brim and caused the whole craft, still loaded, to have its rear calapse.

"Sir, we need to retreat. They are pinning us down heavily!" Yelled a Staff Sergent at his Platoon General as a tank round, firred blankly where lights were seen, nearly hit them but barely missed and kept on flying into the hill's side. "If we get to hgiher ground, marksmen can have better chances to hit. Get all Range Riflemen up, have three escorts each! I want all tanks to hold possitions!" Yelled the General over the fire from an Abrams MBT that had missed its target of a grouped-up infantry section and hit sand, blowing it all over the windy and loud beach.

[Command Tower - Fort Geosueeu]

"Sir, we are sending out a message now to Farway, city, we should have air support and possably a T-Boat division within an hour!" Yelled a Telecommunications Operator after getting off the phone with a representative from Farway's Chain Commanding Post on the Marvy Force Base just north of them on Kurst Island. "We are to fire a missle at the beach in the case we lose the coastal front."

The Generali thoguht for a secound. "Target a missle at the coast and an other just inland a little. Around the outter bits of our range. I want all Flame Towers ready to fire if we lose the forest front. Tell all Counter Units to light protective perimeters if they have time." He commanded just pushing in the key to light both missles located farther inland to the north east.

Kurst Marvy Force Base
"Sir, we have a call from Geosueeu. First time since the Mainland War. They have forces on them, we belive them to be Thunder Bolt's lead offencive group island hopping." Said a Telecommunications Operator. "Send any forces we have offencivly straight over there. Alert Farway, city, admediatly!" Commanded the Lead Generali of Base.

Captain: Radio the gun crews, I want artillery cannons to be unloaded onto that beach, so that we can provideo artillery support to our troops and still attack that fortress.

.........

140mm artillery guns had been deployed onto the beaches, each of the 10 guns begun to open up onto enemy troop positions, while tanks and troops hid behind buildings.

The Viscious herself, turned her guns to bear now realeased wave upon wave of shells onto the same spot in the fort.

24-12-2004, 02:36
"Sir, we are being overran! We need to launch a missle at the beach now, it is grouped with hostiles and only a few friendlies are left in the open radius. They are pulling back now." Said one of the Comsat Operators. "Launch missle one at the beach, and ready the secound for flame." Commanded the Lead Generali.

The missle quickly lit up in the underground mountain-side silo and the whole mountain shoock as a small openning appeared. A large case flew out with a flame at the rear. It flew up into the air and circled around the island for a minute and then came straight down on the beach, breaking into four pieces. A Czar Spread-Sheet Missle. It hit directly ontop of large things including Artillary and landing craft. Vehicles and men flew in the night sky.

With the artillery gone, and whatever was left on the beach wiped out, the first wave remained, this ment several thousand troops were still left, they had made it off of the beach. Yet once they saw the one missile land, they returned to the ship.

By now, the Viscious was under the impression "kill them or they kill you." She fired her railguns at any oiltanks and lines she saw, collected her troops and made for the Tango line.

"Mobius Squadron, this is Mobius One. We have the target ship due at our elevan o'clock. Gain altitude for anti-shipping barrage and return to Wing Color Formation after dropping. All fire full load except for two, jsut in case we have some unexpected guests." Said the lead pilot of the prized Mobius Squadron.

"Block Two!" Yelled all Mobius pilots as thier WSOs launched five TALM-50D Blue Flame anti-shipping missles at the front of the ship as it was mid-turn away ffrom the island.

They quickly decended to just above sea level and the water was flying around them, adding to their coolant systems and radar stealthiness. They were completely invisable, and the TALM-50Ds were satellite guided, undetected by the ship's systems until thier fronts blew for the warhead to active, giving off their radar stealthiness themselves.

Captain: Set course for the Tango Line, full battlespeed. I want full inventory of our plunder.

First Officer: Yes my lord, set corse, due east for the Tango Line, full battlespeed. Bring inventory of what we've captured!

The ship seemd oblivious to what was going on about it, it had yet to dive anyway. Spotters were looking all over, even a few quad 40mm flak guns were set up and manned just for the fun of it, they even started throwing sket and gunning them down with flak guns.
Truitt
24-12-2004, 03:28
"We have flak dangerously low to thier hull, break!" Yelled a fighter as they broke into a rudder turn, keeping wings level. Each one missed the hull of the ship and thier dangrously low anti-aircraft fire. Some firred thier own guns and few had externally-mounted RAM painted rocket launchers which they firred at surface installations on the sides just below thier line of fire.

The boat was heavily damaged. The front was scared for life and the surface was damaged along the edges.

"All aircraft prepair for drops." Alerted the Fleet Brigader of the TyH-B12A Albatross heavy bombers as they headed straight over the ship near the atmosphere's edge. "Drop all arsenal!" Commanded the Bombing Specialist on the lead aircraft.

The external 1,000lb bombs dropped first with the heavier 2,000lb and 2,500lb bombs form the internal bays in the wings. The bombs flew straight down, all high-explosive and made to break even highly reinforced armor.
Verstummelung
24-12-2004, 03:34
The ship took heavy bomb damage, turrets 2 and 4 were already knocked out, the railgun turrets that is. The stern port side twin 64inch gun turret, took a direct Armored Piercing Bomb hit, and knocked it and the turret infront of it, our of action. Yet the bomb barly missed the magizine.

Captain: Fire! Fire!

Officer: Flooding reported all over the ship, it seems the enemy is using armored Piercing Bombs!

Captain: All anti-aircraft guns, fire!

And with that the anti-aircraft weaponary set it, they fired rapidly, filling the skys with flak, yet two more bomb hits, knocked out the steering gear, and the propellers, making the ship dead in the water. The ship started to sight surface ships, perhap they were the deathblow?
Truitt
25-12-2004, 02:44
The TyH-B12A Albatrosses dropped their full supply of bombs. Most hit the surface of the ship, utterly destroying the whole deck including the main structures. Three Albatrosses were shot down and an other one was hit and lagging behind.

The bombers went back to their base where the fighters already were turnning.

"We have Master One on sonar. Fire all torpedoes once respected!" Yelled a Bridge Capiton on a lead Raptior-class SSD. The five Raptiors had snuck up to the side of the ship with ten more comming up on the other side.

Every tube in each of the five submarines firred, all eight of them. 40 torpedoes flew at the ship with them beign guided so noisemaker countermeasures could not stop thier destination.
