Febuary and March, 1860
In the 19th century, war had become a custom the Germanic European population were used to. Colonial Expansion was one of the Kaisers most important earners for the country. The Germans barely shed a tear if they heard men had been killed on the fronts, they only had a flicker of worry if Germany declared war on some third world nation, knowing that the war would end their way. The Germanic population was tough, and as heartless as there Kaiser.
And Jonas was a brutal man. He saw Empires expanding around him, and knew it was time to go further inland, to explore and exploit the riches of the countries that he had but tiny snippets of. And so he order the March on the Inner Circles, his attempt at taking over the inland areas of his colonies in Africa, and the Americas.
------------------------------------------------
Benin and Sudan were his African targets, and the Operations there were easy to his battle harden colonial troops. Thousands of them simply walked through the countryside and thick deserts until on both sides they had taking Benin and moved and taken control of at least half of the Sudan country, and reached it's heart. They did not have to face the Zulu's, and there men were careful. They left traps in the jungle, desert or baron lands to check if others followed. They stopped and searched if they sensed human presence. And on ten occaisons, when attacks were made, it was always in small settlements, and those settlements were burned to the ground, and their population sent to the dreaded coastal Labour camps. Some well trained colonial soldiers died in the expansion, though there enemy lost many times that amount.
In Africa the coast was were the population was, but in land resources which could be harvested or mined where aviable. And so they secured and built, and began the slow process of harvesting the resources and controlling the people.
-----------------------------------------------
Between 1832-1834 the Battle for the Canal had been fought between the Germanic Prussian Army and various groups of Colombian settlers. It was a bloody war, in which the Germans, once aggrivated, showed little mercy. Some say between ten and twenty thousand brave Colombian warriors were brutally slaughtered, just for a piece of land on the wrong side of the canal. Injuries for the Germans were heavy too, and ever since then they have been weary, and angry, at the Colombian people.
Of all the conquests, the Germans were most worried about this one. The people were hostile, they were not content under their rulers. But the plans where drawn up, and the Germans would invade all the way to the jungle in southern Colombia.
(I'll do this one later, with another post)
---------------------------------------------------
The North American lands were to be attacked to gain the valuable cotton and sugar cane, and to expand there Empire away from the mere Georgia area they owned now. They were to drive through and capture Alabama, Mississippi and Loiusiana, and stop just outside Texas.
Thirty thousand men, with many calvary, and some armed with the new shippment of 20,000 revolvers, lead the way in the assault. They had expected little resistance, and by the time Alabama and all it's people and villages that tried to prevent them from invading were in ruins, the spies had informed them were the states planned to make there final stand. Nearly eight thousand men had conregated just outside of Columbus, Mississippi. This was more resistance than the Germans had thought, and General Horst Kollar sent news back home, and asked the Kaiser whether the operation should go ahead.
He said yes, and with the chance to wipe out the reistance of the three states, they prepared to battle. These men, like many in the colonial troops, were the most battle hardened and trained, as they were always needed for expanding the Empire. The two groups, the powerful, dressed in perfect grey German Prussian Army, and the militia but determined group of Americans, met and waged war. The Battle for Colombus ended in a striking German win, though the Americans proved tough. The Battle took ten days, ten more than expected, and saw one thousand injured, three to five hundred dead, for the Germans. The Americans suffered a worse fate - four thousand dead, and the rest captured, sent back to Georgia to work for the new German State.
And so they marched proudly through the two remaining Southern states, waving their flag, and the troops stopped just outside Texas.
