The Great War of 1884

[Fishman Lord]

It was going to happen, sooner or later. Tensions over colonial control, the rising demand for the populace over monarchs, and the advent of steam warfare made sure of that. The great powers denied it and claimed that all was fine and world peace was within reach, but they knew too. Why else would France order the production of thousands of walkers? Why else would the Sicilian "Iron Navy" quadruple in such a short period? Why else would the world's borders bristle with weaponry, ready to strike at any time? This tension made it so that even a simple flag translation error could lead to the greatest war of all history.


7:34 P.M., 43 miles off the coast of Jamaica


"Sir, Ottoman ship sighted."


"Goddamn Turks. Why would they even be here?"


"Sir, not to be rude, but they're probably asking the same about us."


"Fine. I still won't trust a Turk. Raise the flags to show non-hostility and keep moving. Prepare the cannons, just in case."


"Yes, sir."


Meanwhile on the O.I.S. Kahire


"Sir, the Sicilian ship has raised flags of hostility and are preparing their cannons!"


"God help us all! Return fire!"


And so began the World War of 1884.

Sean looked at his passing clock, the history of the new formed Ireland so far, was, well... simply to put it, Dull! Many months had passed, and even almost a year! All Sean had gotten, was diplomacy, meetings, and having to constantly deal with crimes. The time was very troubling, Ireland had a small military, and mainly depended on the nearby British Empire for protection, though Mr. Hyde had many plans for that. But combined with the ol' chaps of England, their power increased just the tiny bit! Maybe Ireland could reform into the British Empire, and reclaim their past glory. But that thought, was irrelevant to the country's needs right now, Sean needed to act. Planning discussions, and meetings, were over. The grand, and vivacious Ireland, could strike out! For honor and glory!


First, Sean needed brave traders to advance out into British territory, and maybe make some agreements with Northern Ireland. The two Irelands, were very close, but varied slightly in taste. But they were small things, only Bar preferences, and accents, all that stuff. Combining with the two Irelands was a very prioritized goal Sean had, not the top, but not the bottom either. That was what Sean decided to do first, writing the letter would be boring, but at least the similar countries could understand each other, and put away their differences in the past.

The results from the Electoral college have returned. The new president, Tane Tui, was the canidate from the Unionist party, and group who seeks to bring the assorted tribes of the Federation closers together. The other parties are the Tribalists and The Native Coalition. The Tribalists believe that tribes should stay separate and keep their original ideas and beliefs, and the Coalition doesn't really take much of a stand on that. They believe that the Federation must become an interventionist body, to free the natives of other colonized lands. Due to their beliefs, the Teibalists, until very recently, have been the favored party, and the Unionists have been looking down on as destroyers of culture, after the first Unionist President tried to make the Federation a Unitary State. However, progressive ideas have begun to force their way into the minds of the youth, leading to the beliefs that the tribes must be closers unified. Looking at Australia, many people favor the Coalition, but looking at North America, they would rather be friends with the USA.

British ports and merchants were very open to their Western brothers, offering multiple trade deals. The most wanted good was their advanced pharmaceuticals.

A few diplomats that had sent the trade offer to the British, returned to Sean, with a solid response. "Sir, we received a response from the Empire, they gladly accepted these trade. But the message sent to Northern Ireland, has not gotten a response." Sean, continued to listen to the trade pact terms, and agreements. When that was over, they could move on to the problems of Northern Ireland. "Hmm, we may need to use force, if they do not answer soon. I would prefer not to, we'll discuss this later." The diplomats gave a slight nod, and left to give Sean some time to think.

It is a beautiful day in the Capital of Berlin. The sun was shinning, the birds were chirping, and children were playing on the streets. Kaiser Bismarck woke up to very loud knocking on his door. He opened the door, and there was standing General Weygand of the military. "What could you possibly be waking up for? It is only 8 am!" The General kept his composure and said, "My Kaiser, war has started. All of Hell's fires have been unleashed around the world! The Ottomans are attacking Jamaica, and Italy and the Ottomans are in a Cold War! What shall we do?" The Kaiser gave off a crooked smile and replied, "We do something I have wanted to do for a very long time... We are invading France! This is our chance! Think of it, the puny French forces will fall underneath our Iron boot. Ready the troops. WE WILL ENACT BLITZKRIEG!" "YES MY KAISER! HAIL DEUCHLAND!"


General Weygand wrote letters to military bases near the french boarder.


"To my fellow Germans, Hail the Kaiser! This shall be a glorious age for Germany. The Kaiser has given us permission to invade a Nation. No longer will we sit in barracks around the German Empire, waiting for an invasion of some sort. Tomorrow we blitzkrieg! I want 500 airships to fly into France over the Black forest. I want 250 of these to carry 100000 troops and 1000 cavalry. Put 3 battleships on the coast of France to destroy French supply lines and bombard the French coast. Move 50,000 tanks through the black forest and have 10,000 troop transports following. I want 2000 light walkers and 1000 heavy walkers following the tanks. i want 1/3 to go south, 1/3 to go center, and 1/3 to go north. We invade at dawn! Hail the Kaiser!"


The telegrams reached all the available military bases and the troops are ready of invasion. "Ready yourselfs men! We will break through the forest and invade the french mainland! Let us be off. HAIL THE KAISER!"

News had been spreading around glorious Ireland, that the German Empire had taken advantage of the chaos of Italy and the Ottoman's cold war, and decided to attack the French. Would this be the start of something horrible? Only time could tell.. the people of Ireland were not ready for a full scale war, Sean had to take measures to enforce defense, and stop future wars. Soldiers were put into training, and border protection jobs were opened. Sean even decided to transport some walkers and patrol boats into the Border Coasts, just encase.

 

[Fishman Lord]

The president dined silently. Suddenly, the door burst open and a tired looking messenger said "Germany is attacking France, sir!" The president stopped eating. "Really? Organize the ships! Send a million men to take French West Africa! We shall finally establish the colonial empire!" The messenger rushed away yelling "yes sir!"

 

[Hazeron]

The British military was also mobilizing, bringing 1 million of their ground troops, and preparing 500 of their elite power armored troops as a fast response force in case the situation deteriorated further. Besides that, they have mobilized 2000 of their light walkers, 200 of their heavy walkers, and all of their transports. They also prepped their zeppelins and naval transports.


War Room...


"Personally, I feel as if we should just let the Krauts beat on the French Fries, damn Revolution, but we have to be prepared in case the war spreads even further." King David looks around his room, and his general echo the sentiment. General Richard clears his throat. "We've decided to mobilize most of the British Military. We're a little rusty, but we can still put up a fight." Richard nodded, and said "Good. Now, let's address the ongoing cold war..."

King David personally writes a letter to the leader of Ireland, asking for assistance and coordination for the duration of this developing political clusterfuck.

Sean had been personally addressed by King David, of the British Empire. I wonder what this is about.. Sean opened the letter, and found disturbing contents. "Help with this... problem?" Sean muttered to himself. "Sir, are you okay?" Asked a nearby guard. "I'm fine" Sean quickly replied, it seemed that the British Empire was really going to prepare for war, but what threats could come to such a prestigious military, such as the British? Everybody liked the British, they were kind, understanding people, with placating accents. But nonetheless, this act would bring a lottery of attention to the British, and the Irish. But such a big war could not be ignored either, two wars in fact. Sean's mind set was split into many conflicting pieces, but at the end, he decided Ireland would have to keep watch of their allies, and prevent future wars for the greater good! Sean accepted the offer, and signed the paper. "Get the messengers, my response is written!" While doing that, Sean stamped the paper, and slid it to the edge of his desk. A random worker messenger, came in, and took the paper, "Delivered at top speed sir!" and left.

King David receives the letter, and after reading it he convenes with his generals. "The Irish agreed with our terms. Prepare a report on our troop movements and composition to send to the Irish, and ask for their's in return. Also, we need intelligence on the situation occurring in Mainland Europe."


Britain decides to send out intelligence agents across Europe, trying to figure out the current status of the Cold War between the Ottomans and Italy. Also, they were to gather intelligence on German troop composition and movement and deliver it to the French Government.
