The second landing was more successful, with the marines wiping out the Infantry and securing the beachhead as a temporary base. Persian troops soon arrived in the small town to help in it's defense and to help insert it into the Empire. an Airport was built linking this small city to the rest of persia and tanks were brought to continue against the Chinese threat.
----------------------------------------------------
The French infantry in Reims looked to the sky to see the planes drop their bombs. it was a scary time to be French, with the english fighting to the death to reclaim their former cities to the north, Persia bombing them every day and demolishing the French airforce with her cities. The Zulus had, with persian help, turned back the invasion into their lands and rumors held that by next spring Joan would have an invasion by the Zulus to deal with. China had been busied by persian warships and had been demolished all of Mao's ports were closed although the russian fleet, necissarily powerful as Russia had always depended on far off colonies was the only millitary force on the Axis side that was holding it's own. The brave french soldiers stood between their homeland and the Persian tanks, France had no tanks yet and had nothing to deal with them. they opened fire on the Persian charge, and watched bleakly as their bullets were deflected harmlessly. they continued nonetheless, praying for a lucky shot, although it never came.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Sir reims, Paris and tours are under our control, French counter attacks have proven ineffective and Most of England is english once more, The Zulus are mobolizing, shall we make peace with france while we pummel her allies?"
Xerxes thought, this was a sound plan, his tanks and troops could be much better used elsewhere, ending the front against the chinese and after china fell he was sure that Russia would see reason."Let it be so."
------------------------------------------------------
Joan was exstatic to see the emissary from Persia come to her throne room, and while it cost her a bundle she was very glad to have that front ended, her advisors thought she could retake her lost cities but she understood that all she could do was loose more, she must bide her time and build her forces untuil the next, inevitable world war.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Persian tanks did worser to china than they had to france, although by all accounts the fighting was as bloody and desperate as the feircest had been at the Great Line. The chinese people had no intention of being ruled by an Emperor from a land that they had barely heard of before, revolts lasted for extended periods of time. Mao was finally approached by the Persian envoy, Mao began:
"Shall it finally be over? will Persian forces stop engaging mine over farmer's crops? wil there be a time to rebuild now?"
"Only if you agree that there shall be chairman."
"I do."Mao said, for now he thought to himself.

Catherine met the Persian ambassador yet again, in the end she figured that this had been her most succesful war, she had lost the least, bu next time..... she would be more succesful yet..... she would win.
