The Great War of 1884

Queen Catherine the II of Sweden, was currently sitting in a modest summer-home, on the outskirts of Stockholm. A messenger soon arrived, carrying with it a note of urgence. She was the reigning monarch, constitutional sure - but not the look-pretty kind of England, where power rested with the mass. True, it also rested with Parlament here, but in times of famine, war and conflict it was the duty of the monarch to act as the iron-guide and hand to get stuff done without delay.


As such, the first reading about the Turks' attacking, widened her eyes - a soon second telegram, informed her that the German Empire was on the move westward. "Get the Parlament upto speed, alert the generals on our borders to go into full alert. Double the patrols along the Western Scandinavian border. Get me a telegramm to Von Bismarck; asking him in a formal way on what is the German' stance in this new crisis."


They were trade and economic partners, and they did possess a formidable navy - still it would be better to understand the situation themselves, rather than be dragged into a war by Germany instead of following themselves. They couldn't make themselves look subjects to any nation, but themselves.

The Sultan was sitting with his Pashas disscussing the recent devolopments about the Cold war and the rest of the World,it was knowhn that the war was going to happen one way or not.All the Pashas were aggreing that a mobilization was required..''We need to Show the Western Powers that we are still strog and powerfull!'' said Osman Pasha. ''Agreed, Osman Pasha,we shall Show them that The Ottoman Army is a force to be recogned! I say we Show how serious we are by Invading Sicily'' said Esad Pasha whille pointing to sicily on a map. and then ''give Admiral Hasan Pasha the orders of Organizing the Navy for Invasion of Sicily...I want a teleghraph sent to Otto von Bismarck to ensure we have no regards of Hostility aganist German Empire, and ask for their co-opperation with us in this 'World' War to benefit of Both The German Empire and us..Also send a Ultimatum to Italian Goverment.'' said the Sultan,All the Pashas bowed and left the Sultans Presence to do as they were ordered to.


-Ultimatom to Italian Goverment-


1-Secede Sicily to Ottoman Empire


2-Recognize His Imperial Highness Sultan Abdülhamid the Second as the liege of Italian King and Protector of Rome


3-Dismantle the Italian Navy.


-A telegraph is sent to German Goverment by Orders of Sultan to Ensure safety of Borders and continuation of Co-Opperation,peace and trade-
 
King Cristian of the great Kingdom of Italy sat in his great palace, a palace that was really nothing more than a rebuilt Roman ruin. But it need not be more, for the beauty and magnificence of Roman architecture had survived centuries of neglect and the intricate carvings and design still could be seen un every pillars, in every wall and in every room.


Cristian sat on his throne, a large mahogany seat adorned with gold. He sat there, contemplating the events that were unfolding before his very eyes. Germany was invading France, Britian had mobilized its army and now this. Damn Turks... They had sent him a ultimatum demanding the secession of Sicily and the recognize of their Sultan as ruler of Italy. Cristian would not stand for such an insult!


The Italian Iron Navy and the Italian Airforce would be deployed to attack and destroy any Turk invasion force with no remorse.

((you know Sicily is on the other side of Italy right? You would gave to battle my fleets to reach it by sea))

"Sir, shouldn't we at least consider allying with a Euro? The Senate thinks it was foolish of us to have fought the British. They want us to return to the Empire." Said The Secretary of State, "The House and Senate both voted yes, now they just need your signature, and we'll offer them the Alliance."


"I don't trust the British. Besides, why should we care about the affairs of Europe?" The President pulls out a map, and points to New Zealand, "This is us, The Maori Federation. Not the Federation of Anglo Colonists. We are in Oceana. If there's any other continent we should care about, it's here." He points to Asia. "The Chinese Empire isn't in a well state now, but they'll become stronger, I'm sure of it. I'm vetoing this offer to Britian, but send the Chinese Deal to the House and Senate."


((@Fishman Lord for if the Chinese Accept the Alliance))
 
The German Empire broke through the forest, tanks followed by walkers and troop transport. General Weygand got on top of his blimp and screamed on the top of his lunges,. "Send the airships in! Destroy the enemy cannons! Move quickly my friends and kill any French that get in your way! FOR GERMANIA AND FOR THE KAISER!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed the troops and moved into the surrounding towns. From town to town they moved, killing any Frenchman who rejected the new dictatorship. Propaganda was put up in the towns and cities and German was a required class in colleges and schools. The German military kept going and going and going. The war was gruesome and bloody. Both sides lost many troops. But who won the war @Fishman Lord ?
 
"My Kaiser, We have a telegram from the Ottoman. They wish to have an alliance against the Italians." said the Kings personal telegramar. "Anything else come through?" asked the Kaiser. "Yes my Kaiser. The Swedish wish also to know our stance on this war. They wish to know what side we are on and if we are picking sides. What is our stance?"


"Send a telegram to the Ottomans first. I believe they will like to know my answer."


{Telegram to @DefendKebab1918 }


"Sultan Caliph, I have received your telegram. At this moment of time, I am not going to join one side of someone else s war. I will respect your boarders and will not attack your nation if you do not attack mine.


Regards,


Kaiser Van Burick"


"Now we must contact the Swedes."


{telegram to @NecroKnight }


"Queen Catherine, this is the Grand Kaiser of Germany. I stand on no ones side of this war and wish what will grow my empire. I wish no invasion of your nation or the Ottomans, but I will not be a pushover and give over my land to anyone."

...THat was fast.
 
Queen Catherine read over the telegram twice, knowing at this rate - that the Germans were rolling full-on against the French. Albeit if it got ugly, then there might a chance that England might join the war on France' side - as the great-power had lost much influence, and didn't like the german policy of 'blood and iron'.


"Reply to the Kaiser. It would seem we will be joining this war after-all," spoke Catherine, albeit she got a confused question from her staff. "If this conquest succeds, then we will be in a weaker position than before. The balance of power is shifting, and though I hate war - its best to stay on the good side of our neighbour. Our large navy isn't much use sitting around. And we have more borders to share with the germans than the english."


"Dear Kaiser - its in my regard, that Scandinavia will stand with the German people. Trade, resources and common religion have united us both present and past - and we seek no conflict or ill will, to us or to our neighbours. Our navy is ready to aid in a quick resolution to this war. Signed - Catherine II of Sweden.

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.
Seeing this note, Sean was put in relief, troops from the Britain mainland, would help Ireland a lot, Sean was getting old, he wouldn't see the end of this horrible war. But more importantly, Sean needed to send some newly produced vehicles to England, in return for the troops. He also needed to recruit some basic soldiers, more would aid Ireland. Wars were all starting out, Hyde was stressed, he would have to reinforce border defenses, as MUCH as possible. The other countries were all probably looking at the British Empire, the most famed land of Europe.

The Telegram from the German Empire had Reached the Sultans palace,.''Kaiser rejected our Alliance but he promised Neutrality'' said the Grand Vizier Damat Ferid Pasha.Sultan Abdülhamid looked pleased ''This is good news then,now we dont need to worry about our northern Borthers,shall Italy not Invade Breakaway Slavic States I mean...Send Teleghraphs to Beys of Bosnia,Hergozvia,Macedonia,Widdin and Khan of Crimea,Princes of Moldovia and Wallachia to Gather their armies and march to Tirana,also Notify the Bey of Albania that a Unitary Army Force made out of our Vassals and Provinces will gather in his territory and also alert the our Governors and Bey's acoss the Mediterranian to Recruit every able man,and fortify their land aganist a possible Italian Invasion force.'' he said.The Grand Vizier bowed and said ''Yes your Highness,I shall send the command for that'' and turned to leave,but was stopped by The Sultan ''Tell Admiral Hasan Pasha that I require him here'' said the Sultan,''Yes your Higness'' said the Grand Vizier and left.a Hour Later Hasan Pasha knocked the Door to Sultans Meetig room ''Come in'' said the Sultan,Hasan Pasha walked in and bowed ''Greetings your Highness'' the Sultan looked at him ''You can rise Hasan Pasha...Is te Naval force ready?'' he said ''Yes your Highnes it is ready to set saill.'' said the Pasha.''Thats good to hear,but I need you to divide it to 1/3 of its current power and send 2/3 of its size to Albanian Ports,while 1/3 should set sail for Sicily to fool the Italians that our Navy is planing for an Invasion of Sicily and then retreat to Crete.'' the Pasha looked to Sultan Confused ''As you wish my Sultan but may I ask why?'' The Sultan pointed towards a map ''The Italians shall be readying their Naval forces as we speak and the Ultimatom shall lead them to belive we want Sicily...while our real force shall hit Middle-Italy from Adriatic'' The Pasha looked amazed ''I see your Highness as cunning as a fox'' The Sultan looked at him and smiled ''You are dissmised.'' and the Pasha left.

The British send an ultimatum to the German Kaiser: Withdraw from France, or Britain and Ireland will be forced to intervene to keep the balance of power in Europe intact.

"Dearest Queen, I hear your plee and accept you into my alliance. Let this be a prosperous time for both of our nations. Signed- Kaiser Wilhelm"

"Yes my Kaiser." The telegraph reader cleared his voice and read, "Withdraw from France, or Britain and Ireland will be forced to intervene to keep the balance of power in Europe intact."


The Kaiser was shocked. The English? Fighting along side the French? How could this be!?


The Kaiser took his beer bottle and chucked it across the room in fury. "Why do the English have to get involved with this!? Its not even their bloody war! Send word to England. Send them these exact words...."


{Telegram to @Hazeron }


"King David, I will say this once and not again. A war with me will cause tremendous death in Ireland and England with the Annexation of both of your puny islands. My war with France is of none of your concern you tea drinking buffoon. Leave my Empire alone or face annihilation."


"Now that that has been taken care of,' said the Kaiser, 'How does the war go?" We are awaiting the report my Kaiser. I should be in soon." said the Kaisers assistant . "Very good.... Very good...." and with that, the Kaiser left the room and went about his business.

The reply is received....


War Room....


"We can't attack the German Empire at the current moment. We need time to rebuild our forces, and intelligence on the enemy forces."


The English send a telegram, apologizing and explaining that a faction in parliament that opposes the king sent a fake message to paint him in a bad light, and the people responsible will be punished.


The British Industry kicks into wartime economy mode, starting to produce materials for possible hostilities in the future.


(How much can I produce. This is directed at OP.)
 
(Just re-checked my numbers; and by the calculations my country owns the largest fleet, xD )


As the war kicked in full, the sights of the Southern Royal Fleet of Norway flowing past the gulf of Denmark would be cause for concern, for any notable spy that could see. Being part of the largest navy in Europe, and having full liberty on passing-through German-controlled waters, would sum-up that the Swedish Queen has thrown in her lot with the Kaiser.


And as thus having almost a thousand ships bearing down likely on the coast of France, would give any opposite-alliance pause. Especially with fifty Ragnarok-class battleships accompaning the fleet. Before, that however - Queen Catherine II, had sent two telegrams out to the likely receivers.


(@Frontier)


Dear, Kaiser Wilhelm, the Southern Royal Fleet of Norway consisting of a thousand ships will passby nearby to your waters near Denmark - heading towards the North-coast of France. Our force will blockade any attempts of supplying the French Army by sea or air - or landing any hostile forces on French' soil. Here is hoping, to quick end to the French-German War, and a return to riding in the forested areas of Austria, Kaiser Wilhelm. Signed Queen Catherine II of Sweden.


Then a second telegram was sent to the delegation of England.


(@Hazeron)


Dear, Parlament of England. Its in my interest and yours, that the Crown of England distain from any direct and in-direct action against the German Empire. While the war against France isn't our interest - it will become should our economic and trade partner be damaged in this discourse. We seek no hostility, yet we won't backdown from deploying the full-force of the Royal Scandinavian Navy against our enemies and the enemies of our allies. I hope, our countries can remain diplomatic partners both now and in-peace. Signed Queen Catherine II of Sweden.

"The parliament sends their apology for that letter; they have no wish to engage in conflict with the German Empire, and the supposed letter from King David himself was in fact written by a group in parliament that oppose the king. They have been dealt with."
 
"My Kaiser, the English have informed us that this letter was sent by Parliament that opposed the King's rule. They say it has been dealt with. We have also gained intel that the Norwegians have a fleet outside the Province of Denmark. Would you like to reply?" The Kaiser stood up and looked out his window and did not reply. "My Kaiser?" said the Kaisers assistant. "I am afraid this World War will be the bloodiest in history Mr. Klaus. Not only Germany, but the entire world. The Ottomans are marching on the Holy land and if they take Italy, our culture. I am afraid that this could destroy Europe. As Europeans ourselves, I believe we must do something about it. Germany and our ally Sweden must take control of Europe and do what is best for it. First we will take France. This is my main objective at the moment. I do not trust the English for one second. Put 10 battle ships, 15 patrol ships and 40 cruisers at the end of English waters. Point all guns at the English coast. If they are up to something, this should cause some fear and maybe for them to stay away from France. Put ten more battle ships on the coast of France and start bombing the coast with munitions. Have you got the report from General Weygand yet?" "No my Kaiser. It has not come in yet." "What in the name of God would be taking it so long? I need to know the progress!" (@Fishman Lord ) With that the Kaiser sat down at his desk and wrote the following telegrams to be sent out.


( @Hazeron )


"King David, I respect your letter and hope that it is truth. I am putting ships on the edge of the French-English boarder. None of your ships are to break that boarder, otherwise, i will enact an invasion of England. I hope you choose wisely. Signed- Kaiser Bismark"


( @NecroKnight )


"Dearest Queen, thank you for the Intel. I am already happy of our alliance. I do not trust these English milk drinkers. I am ready for anything. Stay safe and God's speed. signed- Kaiser Bismark"
 
(I guess that's one line, the Germans come-up a little short. Their small sixty amongst, my one-thousand... xD )


(@Frontier)


Admiral Johanneson of the Southern Royal Navy of Norway, was aboard his flagship Thor' Spear, a massive Ragnarok-class battleship - designed to be the epidome of military and naval might. Soon came in-range of a ship of a different make - luckily, this one flew the colors of the German Empire. As thus it was customary and tactically-sound, for two allies to dock, meet and discuss - maybe even have a drink or two. He was the one sent to blockade the French Coast, because he had been one to speak German fluently and had participated in many war-games alongside the German Navy.


"Bring us upto docking-speed."

"We will respect your borders, and not interfere with the French affair."
 
Esad Pasha had reached Tirana With a Force of Roughly 450K men and The Rest of the Army under command of Osman Pasha was soon to Arive with Army's of Vassals soon they would set sail to Italy together,to conquer it for the Sultan,He had ordered Italo Selvelli,an Italian Ottoman Citizen to Accompany him as his interpreter.''You are going to see Rome soon Selvelli Bey.Our Sultan has told me that he sees you as an potential Governor for Rome.'' Selvelli Bey looked at him ''Yes it will be good to see Rome,thought I wish it would have been under better circumtances...'' Esad Pasha looked at him ''Dont Worry...It will be a short war!'' The Italio-Ottoman man looked at pasha and said ''I wish'' he said.


At the same Time The Sultan had Ordered Grand Vizier Damat Ferid Pasha to go to England to Gain their Support and Hasan Pasha's Force was sailing towards Sicily while the Rest of The Navy had Reached Albania just recently.

( OH SHT AFTERSCHOOL SUCKS, I MISSED SO MUCH! Oh yeah, and I'm not British, though what other country do more people know about in Europe than England? Spain, France? They're all close, but I believe England is the most known European Country.)
 
Sean, viewing all the conflicts in the war, was starting to get confused, Ireland was a small country, which had not been in any part of these discussions, the other countries probably viewed them as trash, with a small army that can get crushed. It was time for Ireland to climb out of their hiding spots, they had to produce military goods, and arm the soldiers. Several agents had already collected minor info on a few of these messages, the German Empire was on the move, and Sweden had begun to take part in the war. With a small army, Ireland would never get anywhere, Sean had to use a big chunk of money on military. But how much? €20,000,000 would do, out of Ireland's small budget, this was a lot. But the vivacious spirit of Ireland would prevail! "To work!"


(Sorry bout' the small post. Had after school and a Halloween event.)
