The Year 2004

Louis XXI looked over the horizon, and saw the American troops approaching. They could not have been more then 10 minutes away. Richenlau, his chief advisor, came onto the balcony with him.

"Sire, we must evacuate now, or the Americans will kill you!".

"No, I will stay and share the fate of my people", he replied coldly.

"But sir....", but he realized the uselessness of arguing. Louis was a stubborn man.

In Louis' mind he wondered how on Earth his kingdom had fallen. They may not have been the strongest, but they were self-sufficcent on their island, and were able to at least build nucleur weapons.

But how did they do lose? It was all so close, then......

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is now the year 1973, and Louis XXI has asended the throne of France. His father, Louis XX, was assasinated by a Roman agent, and the whole of France was outraged. But for the time, that was to be forgotten.

Louis XXI walked up towards the great throne filled with jewels. It was a great coronation ceremony, with not an expense spared, and Abraham Lincoln himself had attended. The French were a backward people, but thanks to his father, Louis had the ability to make them modern again!

His first council meeting was a success. Louis had been expecting a division of the Estates General over his plan to conquer Antoni, but luckily, they had remained united. Antoni was a rich city on the island of Elbonia, and it contained oil reserves, which France sorely needed. This city was Rome's last outpost, for the Amercans had destroyed their civilization and razed their cities. Now they were to be punished for their piracy on French trade ships. France and Rome were sworn enemies

The only senator against the invasion was Colonel Lafayette. Lafayette was a decorated war hero, and after serving Louis the XX, he was allowed to remain a member of the Estates General. He was against all war, even one to avenge the death of his best friend. However, he would be pivotal to France's fate, and would help lead the France's demise.

The Invasion of Antoni- February 3rd, 1973

Only 2 days after Luois the XXI ascent to the throne, The French Special Forces, and the French Foriegn Legion were on their way to Antoni. The assault was to be a complete surprise, and at the same time an ultanium was to be delivered to Casear, demanding the surrender of the city.

Brigader General Charles De Gualle led his elite forces from the docks toward the Royal Palace. The time was 1:00 AM, so nobody was in the market as the troops surrounded the palace. Casear was woken up just in time to see French troops storming his bedroom, and executing his bodyguards. His aid, Mussoilini, made a plea for his life.

"Please, let me go, and I will give you an empire!"

"And how will you do that, scum?", replied De Gualle coldly.

"I do not know, but I will, Please", his plea seemed to wipe the anger from De Gualle's face.

"Go, go away from here you lowlife!!!". Mussoilini quickly scurried off, but was not quick enough. De Gualle raised his pistol, and shot Mussoilini right through the neck. Casear looked on in horror as he saw his right hand man fall.

Then came Casear's turn. De Gualle took out his pocket knife, and began mutilating Casear's body.

"This is for killing my son, and for killing all the Sons of France who's lives were lost by your Piracy!, Damn you Casear, and all who helped you!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The civilian population took quickly to the idea of being ruled by France, mostly from seeing Casear's mutilated corpse hung in the Forum.

Louis was astonished at the speed and success of the operation. He had expected a long drawn out conflict, with many casualties. But only 2 soldiers were killed, and these were from spaordic gunfire throughout the night. The World had learned that Louis was out for vengeance, and their could be no doubt he wanted revenge on the Persians, who forever tried to keep the France isolated by helping the evil Romans.

The world knew it was only a matter of time before the French attacked the Persians, their longtime oppressers. But no one knew it would occur on this day.

Persepolis- May 11th, 1973

Today was King Louis' birthday, and soon to be his finest hour.

Darius woke up to the sound of jet engines. "What is that horrible sound?", he shouted.

"Sir, the French..., theyyyyy are commminnngg!", the guard replied at the same time a bomb landed on the palace. Darius was killed instantly.

Meanwhile, Persian troops were quickly overtaken by French special ops in the harbor of Persepolis, who work in unison with paratroopers dropped on the Airport runway. They advanced door by door, with the speed of a jagaur, and the cunning of a fox. Hurriedly, they secured the French embassy, in fear of having it seized by Persian authorities. No one had bothered to tell them the attack was to be launched today, and they were as surprised as anyone.

Of course, the troops were not yet done. The Persians had a vast nucleur weapon supply, and were prepared to use it. Luckily, the storage facility was not defended heavily, and the work of agent Dominique Vazquez quickly neutralized the enemies and seized the supply. The world would now fear the power of France!

"Louis, I request a ceasfire in exchange for the return of my nuckeur weaponry", begged Xerxes, the new Persian Emperor

"No!", Louis relied coldly.

"Then how bout the return of Persepolis, and you hand back half the weapons?"

"No, I will return Persepolis and I keep the weapons. Plus you pay 250 gold right now!", his tone showing this was a take it or leave it offer.

"Fine", Xerxes seemed to realize if he did not accept, he would probably never leave this room alive.

As soon as it was over, and the men shook hands, Xerxes left. However, he only made it 3 steps before he was killed by Agent Vazquez who was on the roof with her brand new sniper rifle. French troops then planted bombs under all important state buldings, and razed the city. The people of Persepolis were forced to flee from French troops firing machine guns at fleeing refugees. Not even children were spared.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in Washington

"Mr. Nixon, the French have seized Persepolis and the Persian nucleur weapons supply!"

"Good for them, it's about time the Persians got it!"

Sudden shock engulfed the President's face. He realized it was only a matter of time before the French came after America, the most powerful nation in the world.

"Oh my God!, we must hurry up the STD defense now!"

Paris, France 1976

Over the past 3 years, the French were building up for armageddon with the Persian nucleur weapons they seized, and the Americans were developing STI's for their homeland protection.

"Sir, when shall we strike?, we only have about 8 days before the Americans completely developed STI's, and they will be immune to our nukes?"

"Launch missles at Atlanta, and Chicago, and if you can, St Louis also."
Louis' face twisted into a sadistic smile. He seemed to show no remorse for launching one of the most severe war crimes in history.
