NES (Never-ending Story) 2

Jerusalem, a holy city of the three main religions, the third most holy city in Islam, after Mecca and Medina. Allah had made it possible for Egypt to take Jeursalem away from the Zoroastrian devils. We cannot lose, for 'Allah Akbar', God is Great. Half the army of Egypt landed at Gaza, the once great port city was now Egyptian, from there they marched on Tel-Aviv, Netanya, Haifa, Beiruit and Tripoli, with crowds cheering the Egyptian troops, and new recruits joining daily. Sure, the Persian army was weak, but this weak? While the second fleet marched from newly conqured Siani, to Jerusalem.
With Jerusalem conqured, Egypt could do anything. Even gain Mekkah back for Allah.
 
Greece

A battle brews near Split....

"Fire! Come on, you heard me! FIRE!" all over the hills of the Slavic landscape, Greek sergeants issued similiar orders. All 3000 Greek Infrantry simulaneously shot thier highly accurate Spartan Rifles towards the great mass of German Cavalry, how many Germans there were noone on the Greek side could know.

The first round of firing was deadly effective. Many horses, and riders with them, tumbled to the grounf, lying motionless on the ground. Other cavalry men tripped over thier dead comrades. But still, they kept coming.

"This is trouble" dared speak one man, in between rounds, "He he, thank the great god in the sky that they dont have artillery here" dared another.

In an another instant, the shooting began again. Lines of Cavalry begin to thin out, but every time one cavalry went down, two or three more were right there to take its place. "There must be 6,000 of them!" exclaimed one man amid the firing, "If its one things these Germans has, its numbers" stated another.

"FIRE!!" shouted the sergeant once again. Sounds of gunfire rattled off miles away. The cavalry continued to near.

"Attack!" more rounds. Now the cavalry was frightenengly close. As the men on horses entered the Greek lines, hand to hand fighting began.

Greek soldiers fought with bayonettes, something most had wished they'd never need to use.

The battle lasted little more than 30 minutes but was extremely bloody. Out of the battle came 1,768 Greeks, shooting the backs of the retreating Germans in anger.

Supplies and reinforcemnts arrived soon, providing them with 2,000 more soldiers and enough supplies for the trips. The 3,178 Greeks began thier 5 mile march to Split.

Soon, the force reached the city. Viewing it from cliffside, the soldiers notice something. "Well ill be damned, looks like about 200 Germans and about 3 artillery pieces" the man snickered.

"I knew the battle for Split had been damaging but..." his voice trailed away as he noticed his band was marching downwards.

A battle soon started. The 4 pieces of artillery Greeks had been hauled up the cliff and had started raining scrapnel and debris on thier heads. The 3,178 Greek soldiers ahd flanked the city, shooting from 2 sides. It was more than the Germans could handle.

The Germans raised the white flag, surrendering Split back to its rightful owners, Greece.
***************************************************
The Greek Navy executes a cunning plan....

Two men were out on the dock of the frigate Salonica. They were chattering, and yapping about.

"Ok, so how many ironclads do we have protecting us?" inquired one of the men (named Stephen Alexander),"I honestly dont know, Steve, although we dont really need protecting" the man (named Phillip Mac) sighed.

"All i know is where gonna pay the Romans a price

FAST FORWARD 2 DAYS

"There they are" said a sailor, looking ot his cabin window. "Sitting ducks" he laughed heartily. The other man in is cabin asked,"How close are the ironclads?"

He soon got the answer as the entire ironclad fleet accompyning the Frigates (who are part of the fleet too) opened up on the Roman Fleet docked in Rome. The Romans hadnt kept all thier fleet in one place "Damn them for that" swore a sailor, but they still had lots in obvious places.

Ships started sinking, other ships (ironclads) exploded sending pieces of metal flying into the sky and back down onto roofs and chimneys. The Romans hadnt had time to prepare for the attack, and it was devastating. By mornings coming, the Greeks had retreated for home, leaving behind only 1 frigate and an ironclad in the dock.
********************************************
A Greek General views battle reports....

Alexander the XVIII, Commanding General of the Greek Army, was oddly looking at the Naval battle reports first.

"Oh...my..god." he said as he looked at the descriptions of damage.

"Fleet of Naples, nearly destroyed. Fleet of Messina, nearly destoyed. Fleet of Venice, 1/3 destroyed. Fleet of ROME! ALMOST COMPLETELY DESTROYED!" a wide smile began forming on the Generals mouth, cheek to cheek. About 1/2 or more of the Roman Navy had been disposed of.
 
a govt aid ran to the chancellors office, sir sir! one of our divisions have surrender and some of much of our cavalry is dead!!
What! yelled bismark, i cant believe it! prepare my train, ill command the war fronts myself!......sir.......the Russians have also declared war on us......and invaded.........
mmmh.......bad news is everything i get here? no sir, the romans will join us in war, perfect, that fixes everything, call my generals, this is what we are going to do, the romans will push on agaisnt the greeks and we will push against the russians, it apear our plan is to be done......

OPERATION ANADYR--

The Germany forces retreated from greece as Roman troops took their places, germany moved the bulk of the army to the north to fight back scandinavia, the elite to meet in the russian border, it coudnt fail!
The german Fleets intercepted russian ships and fired upon them, they were outnumbered, but their main guns outshot the russians, most russians sunk and many retreated, it was a huge victory for the control of the northern seas.

Operation FireSTORM-

The germans used their best weapon to its fullest, their artillery, the set a defensive perimeter of bonbardment in scandinavia, this would stop the russian form advancing while the german army arrived.
in the south, however, the artillery was used in an offensive mode, they fired upon the dockards of the adriatic sea, destroying many ships, and plenty of iron clads, it was a somewaht good operation.

In Germany scientists and engeneers see how the greek rifles work, using backwards engeniering they were working hard to develop a german version...

TO ROME!
FROM GERMANY:
WE ACCEPT, COME AND KILL THE GREEKS!

TO RUSSIA:
FROM GERMANY:
THATS THE BIGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR EMPIRES LIFETIME!
 
From the German-Romano Allience.
To PERSIA

We are at war w/ the greeks, we would apreciate if you joined us, u can easily take what is yours, the rest of turkey and the door to the black sea.
 
"Field Marshal Jenkings!" Yelled a soldier over the waves of the deadly ocean. The salty myst seemed to clog the throat of Jenkings as he rose his head over the rest of the 25 men crowded on the landing craft. It was raining hard and completly dark all around the boat, but finally he was able to catch a glimpse of Seargant Turner, the man calling his name.

"Yes sir!" Jenjings yelled, forcing the man in front of him to bow his head in agony from the yell.

"Ready your troops, landing time in 5 minutes!" He yelled back. Jenkings complied and checked the surrounding 12 men who were his squadron. They seemed ready, though silent and frightened. This storm had raged on for days since the fleet arrived in the waters and prevented a landing for 2 consecutive weeks. Finally the high order got impatient and ordered it anyway. The choppy waves, shaking the boat violantly, made even the toughest man sick. It smelled of salty vomit, and the water tasted of exhaust.

Jankings was barely able to turn around to face the destination, and even when he squinted all he saw were waves and darkness. Suddenly, a noise cracked the silence of the motor on the boat, and the waves of the sea, and sent Jenkings and the rest of the men to the floor covering their heads. However, one man still stood.

"You girls, it's just our Ironclads! They soften'n the landing zone for us. Get up!" the Seargant yelled.

Through the rain, Jenkings searched out in the ocean for the ironclad. He was able to make out a shadowy figure that he guessed was the ironclad, and when it fired and shook the whole world, Jenkings was able to confirm it. Having the huge ship next to the boat made him feel more secure, when it should've made him more afraid of a counter attack on the position.

The boat suddenly stopped, and the whole squadron fell forward.

"All right! On your feet! Its battle time!" Yelled Seargant. This was the part that Jenkings loved. He yelled and ordered his squadron to line up on him as they climbed over the boat rails and onto the sandy beach. So far not a shot was fired, but Jenkings ordered all his men to be ready, with guns loaded. Across the beach they were able to make it to the small forest on the beach that lead inland. They would take cover in there.

It was now sunny, the next morning. Jenkings and his men still had not had any action, but had heard rumors that America had sacked Habana, and that only field shooting laid in the way. Jenkings saw the forest mysteriously stop ahead, and so gave his men specific orders to watch their backs and sides. As the men exited the forest, the peacefullness almost took them back to America, relaxing with a girl in the country. The sun seemed to warm their skin as the birds soothed their nerves. However, this was soon over.

Walking on the raised road for only a couple minutes, Jenkings heard something snap. He twitched his mustache a bit as he thought of the possibilities it being an enemy. Just then, from a quarry of rocks on a hill above the road came a cavalry charge. THe flag was the traditional flag of Cuba.

"On me!" yelled Jenkings as his men lined up in two rows, the traditional way of battle for America. However, with the old Springfields they were not able to shoot until the cavalry were only 100 yards away. They just stood there, staring at the obvious 20 to 30 cavalry charging at the men. Jenkings suddenly knew he could not win this. The men opened fire, taking down a couple horses, bent down, and the 2nd row shot killing a few more men as the got closer. By that time the first row shot again and killed close to 5 cavalry men. At that the Cavalry were already on top of the men.

Jenking blocked the first sword with his bayonet, swung around, and sliced open the man's back. He turned around and noticed his men getting beheaded of stabbed left and right. The cavalry were closing in on them. Jenkings swung around his bayonet again and was able to take out another man's spine, but was then kicked in the head by a horse and fell forward. The light went dark.

When he awoke, it was too a stranger dressed in a blue outfit shaking him and slapping his face. He felt the dirt underneath him, and his fingers came from his head blood red.

"You'll be aright." said the strange man towering over him. Shielding his eyes, he looked at the other men lying across the ground, and then the horses .

"Where is the rest of my squadron?" Jenkings asked as he looked around at the army personel.

"They were all killed, sir. We are from company D." Jenkings felt his heart stop.

"And what of Cuba? Are you the only ones left?"

"No, sir. Operation Carribean Passion was successful! We have Cuba!" With that Jenkings fell down again in sleep.

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

The King sat down in his desk. He was very happy with the success in Cuba, but still had work to do.

To: Japan
From: Lincoln, King of America
Subj:Trade

Yes, we will help you industrialize in exchange for the Japanese fine trading goods.
 
Japanese Empire



The Philippines were under Japanese rule.
The Emperor, happy with the new lands decided that a new era must come to Japan.
He saw huge industry complexes in America, and In Britain, and al over Europe.
He was amazed of the power those Industrialized countries had.
"Japan must become an industrial powerhouse to become a world leading power!"
"I know this sir, and now after the propaganda of working with the whites, the people will be more than happy to make Japan into a world power."
"Where will the first complex be built? In the capital of Kyoto or in the great city of Tokyo?"
"Great emperor, that is your chose, but I belive that in Tokyo it will be much more helpful to our great country."
"Yes I think so to. Let's build Japan into a superpower, shall we?"

After the base have been built the massive Ship components Industrial complex have been finished.
In a great parade in Tokyo the King have made his speech:
"Great Japanese Nation! 2 months ago the Philippines were annexed, and today a new age have came to Japan. With the aid of America, which we hold a great debt to, and with help from private investments from Europe I declare this Industrial complex to be the first in Japan, and I already declare of the built up of many more in all Japan.
Farmlands will be built in the Philippines to bring the much-needed food to the growing Japanese Empire.
I also ordered 500 good men to be sent to take control over the small island of Taiwan."

The crowd was happy to hear Japan is ever growing. And they were happier to hear the Philippines will become a food supplier to the food needing Japanese islands,

Taking of Taiwan
Taiwan was a small island between main Japan and the new acquired Philippines.
This island could become a very important naval base in case China will build her own navy.
The 500 men landed on the island and the small tribes in it welcomed them into the capital. Taiwan joined Japan without a fight, they wanted just to grow their island into an important area of the world, and decided to let Japan do it for them.
After the Island was taken 450 of the men came back to Main Japan.
The rest have ordered the Taiwan tribes to build a great fortress near the growing important port of Taiwan.

The Japanese Navy is upgraded
After buying several ironclads from the Americans the Japanese new factories begun creating Ironclads themselves.
New 3 Ironclads were bought from America. The naval power of Japan have kept on growing, and the Emperor knew it will take some time before Japan will become a world sea power!


To America:
We hold a great debt to the American state, without you we could not go into this new great age and build the huge Ironcalds and add them to our Navy.
Thankyou.
Also we shall begin trade with America and open our ports the American ships.

to Greece:
We have heard of your great Rifles.
Will you sell us some that we could learn how to build our own Rifles?
We shall open ports, trade and send Diplomatic aid to you in your war with Germany...





OOC the story was VERY changed!
 
Remember, Erez, it takes a while for a country to industrialize (took Japan 35-40 years in real life, but maybe we could speed it up a bit), so you can't industrialize so fast. You can't build ironclads or rifles yet, but you could possibly buys them and buy help to train your men.

Jason
 
from Germany
to Japan:

hello there, we see you need rifles, ironclads and military advisors, we are willing to sell the equipment and train your troops, it will take a while, but i have a feeling germany and japan wil do all right.
 
The king heard news from his advisors. War had broken out between many nations. A Greco-Russo alliance was tring to fend off the German onsluaght and the Egyptions waged a war to retake the Sinai. The new wars could soon envolve Britain. The King ordered expansion into double-time. The small ports in Greenland were his first target. They would prove useful in maintaning an Empire.

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

It was early in the morning. Only a couple months had passed sense the Iceland annexation. A fleet approched the beach of a far away land. Several Denmark flags could be seen in the distance. The last of the Free Denmarkians ruled Greenland after the annexation by Germany. They had hoped to one day reclaim their empire. It would not be so.

Within minutes ships landed on the shores. Hundreads of British soldiers stormed ahead to meet no resistence. Soon 2 thousand soldiers were ashore. The Denmark capital was Nuuk, only 10 miles away. The troops began the march.

By noon time the soldiers had met the Denmark resistence. Several small camps protected the harbour of Nuuk. Suddeny ships began to shell the city and the Denmark troops. The British soldiers charged ahead. The Denmark soldiers, ill-trained and equipped decided more to run then to fight. Within hours the capital of Free Denmark had fallen. All of Greenland was now in British control
--------------------------------------

The King was pleased when news reached the palace that Greenland had been conqured. Immediatly he ordered the annexation of the conqured lands, they were now British territory. The King now needed to split his offensive in two.

The Canadians would not be a problem. The city of Churchill on the Hudson Bay was the only real city in Free Canada, and was the capital. The British had proved their worth on anphibious landings and this one would be no differnt.

The Falkland Islands to the South looked promising. Now country had yet to cliam them and the indigenous people were not strong enough to hold out against a British invasion.

With new lands soon to be conqured the King ordered the massive recruitment drive to step up. Already THOUSANDS OF MEN had joined the Army in search of glory. The British power was growing quickly.
 
Ok, everything looks good.

But remember, it takes time to travel, sometimes years. We can set a standard, if u guys want, that to travel across any ocean it takes one year, Pacific costs two years.

Hows that sound?

Jason
 
If it's the early industrial age then it only takes a couple weeks to travel across the Atlantic. I don't know about Pacific though.
 
In the State of the Kingdom speech, Lincoln stood in front of all the nobles and peasants alike. The empty hall stood ready for the King's speech of the state of the Kingdom.

"My fellow Americans, now is a time of war. In Europe, two alliances have formed and armies have clashed. The Germans and Romans, being the agressors, have invaded Greece, and the Russians have invaded Germany in revenge. The Egyptians have taken the time to invade Persia for the holy cities of Israel. Our allies the British have seemed to be on the move again. However, America has decided to remain neutral in the wars of the world. Together with our new friend, the Japanese, I have pledged that we will be neutral in any confilct that doesn't involve our ally the British, our friends the Japanese, or ourselves. Already we have begun selling Boston Class Ironclads, near the most powerful in the world, to the Japanese and in return their money has begun helping the economy of our growing nation. Meanwhile, our trade ships have gained access to the Suez canal, and the Mississippi Shipping Company has begun building factories along the Nile, producing electricity for the cities of Thebes and Cairo." With that last echoe, cheers filled the auditorium and the King withdrew from the podium.

To:Japan
From: America
Subj: Ironclads

We will continue to sell your Boston Class Ironclads in exchange for money and trading rights. However, we can only build 5 ironcalds a year to be able to sell to you. However, there is a catch. You must sign a document stating you will only buy Ironclads from America. How does that sound?
 
is 1848, there are no ironclads till 1862....

oh darn.......me vs 4 nations, let me guess, the french are comming too.

story later. :p
 
Updated front.

Also, Warman has created this table:
1/2 hour- 1 week
1 hour- 1/2 month
2 hours- 1 month
6 hours- 3 months
12 hours- 6 months
1 day- 1 year

You don't have to follow it exactly if you don't want too, just something to base time off of if you want.
