The Pangean Wars

Chapter 37, Franklin II Roosevelt

Napoleon walked over to his friend and looked sadly upon the mans face. With gentle care he placed the sheet over his head. Napoleon trotted glumy down the stairs to the landing and walked over to the night nurses' desk. "Terribly sorry about before!" said the nurse who had fainted. "Mmmhmmm," mumbled Napoleon, "The King is dead, I'll call Washington so you don't have to."

With that, Napoleon stepped back into the bitterly cold early morning of November 2, 1749. By this time, cell phones had evolved into what they look like today (2007, for those of you living in CivTime...). He called the offices of the capitol to let them know of Theodore III Roosevelt had died of Pnumonia, and that his last wish was that his 29 Year-Old son, Franklin, assume the throne of America.

"Alright," said the man on the phone, "Ill see to it that King and Emporer Franklin II Roosevelt learns of his ascension." "Thank you sir, good-bye" "good-bye, emporer." After the conversation, he got on the horse and rode across the frozen north to the heart of New York City.

He reached the airport around 6AM, and bought a ticket on the next flight out for America. The fastest way to get to Washington was to get on in New York and take the next flight out to San Antonio, and then take a flight from there to Washington. He bought his ticket and walked over to the gate, where to his suprise, he found an old friend.

Chapter 38, Franklin the Menace

At the airport was the old General d'Arc. Napoleon had fought with him in the English war of annihilation back 42 years ago. d'Arc was a frail 91 year-old man now, unlike the healthy man from way back when. They talked for a few moments before Napoleon got on his flight, and made his oddessy to Washington.

Napoleon attended the coronation of Franklin II in Washington, on November 5, 1749. Franklin was about 5'9" and had dark brown hair with eyes to match. After the ceremony, Napoleon had the chance to talk with Franklin. Much to Napoleon's suprise, he was not the rotund happy cookie his father was. This Roosevelt was a cold-hearted fiend who had nothing on his mind other than total power.

Obviously, this made Napoleon a tad un-easy. When he got back to Paris, he immediately ordered that th militaries' size be increased from 7,000 modern armor to 20,000 modern armor, 5 fighters, seven battleships, and 10,000 marines. This, of couse, made the atmosphere between Paris and Washington all the more tense.

Within weeks, the American military was growing, surpassing the French. Napoleon tried to keep up as the number of troops swelled to over 90 thousand in each army. After a further amount of time, the troops were placed on every foot of the border. Cold war was coming, all knew it. But, would it turn hot?

Chapter 39, Almost There

Napoleon surveyed the blazing steppland of the far west border with America. The amazingly hot day of May 30, 1752 was beating down on the entourage relentlessly. He surveyed the vast steppe with one sweep of his spyglass. His son, Jean-Paul, stood by his modern armor waiting for his father to speak.

"Well," began Napoleon, "No incursions yet." A sigh of relief went around the armors. Diplomatic tensions have reached an all time low between France and America. A permanent hot line speed dial phone has been laid between Paris and Washington, so if war is declared, all will know within minutes. The heavy industry was putting out about 4,000 modern armors per month, which were all transfered to the border.

Napoleon ordered that his convoy of 1,000 elite troops march on again. They were following the border to the east coast, preparing for battle. Around 7 PM, they camped on the banks of the Hoshkohominee River, which served as a border for some 30 miles. As dawn broke the next morning, Napoleon got at least 1200 calls on his cell phone, and he knew why as soon as he lef his tent.

On the opposite side of the border, from the east to the west coasts, stood the powerful American army, in light blue uniforms. Standing armor to armor for thousands of miles, all the Americans could do was smile. Napoleon watched them as he withdrew his cell phone and dialed 002-001-0001. "Good Morning Napoleon!" spoke a cheeky Franklin Roosevelt on the other end of the line. "So, is this it?" asked Napoleon. "Is it? Well I'll tell you it is..." and Franklin hung up.

He loved to play mind games with other people, especially Napoleon, his rival. Napoleon waited for a minute before jumping in his armor, and driving over to his son, "Jean-Paul, it hasn't begun yet, but it is near. Go back to the 7th Army and Command them. I'm off back to the 6th Army. In a few days, Napoleon arrived and took command of his old post, one that he held 45 years before...
 
Chapter 40, The Tyrant of America

Dusk. The phone call the day before had unnerved Napoleon to a degree previously unseen in any ruler of any country before any war. He slept in his modern armor, as to be ready for war. The next day, June 1, 1752, he got a call from 002-001-0001. "Yes?" "We grow tired of your insolence, prepare for war!" that was all Franklin said before hanging up.

Napoleon sent out a prerecorded message to all thirty-seven generals of the armies and all 5 commanderes of the navy. It said: "Gentleman, the time has come for war. Be it known that the people do not like his government, so be gentle to them whilst you attack. The army, show no mercy on the plane of battle, but afterwords, show compassion to the upmost degree. 'Tis on..."

Almost simultainiously, 115,000 modern armors, 95,000 SAM infantry, 30,000 tanks, 35 battleships, 22 bombers, and 13 jet fighters, swarmed into action. The bombers laid runs onto key resource fields and destroyed some coal they had culturaly flipped over to America. The fighters stayed above the cities protecting them from aerial assault.

The ships took off in 3 groups of 15, and went aroud bombarding resources near the coastline, and picking off the small American Navy. The army, however, was slowed by lack of roads. Franklin, who was now being called 'FDR' by his people, had destroyed them earlier before the war. The eeriely open countryside made Napoleon sigh, had he not just rode the train by here, a short 3 years ago? Now it was a wasteland, look what Roosevelt had done to his own people!

From that day on, Napoleon made the vow that every day he would try to kill the man who had hurt so many. And from that day forward, he sent out assassins to kill the man of evil, Franklin II, Tyrant of America.

Would it work? Would the army win its first battle? How will the airforce hold up? What about... Well, you'll see next post!
 
This isn't the FDR of our world. Get him, Napoleon!
 
Yeah! He is supposd to be crippled by polio and....

*Sir! you discovered a national seceret!*

Oh so thank me for my brilll....

*Sir! you are arrested for terrorism!*

Damn.....
 
@e350tb: Its Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but imagine him as a young man, but as evil and awful. I chose him for this opposite-of-real-life persona, I thought it would make it interesting! And will do, dear friend! Will do!

@Charles Li: FDR was not crippled by polio until the 1920s, when he was in his late thirties. Now, he's in his early thirties, and ready to go!

@All: Thanks for posting! If you are lurking or just 'looking in once and awhile' , yes you, please post! I'd love to hear your comments, concerns, cheers, question, etc. Alright? Alright. :)

Update soon!
 
@ demokratickid:

If I remember right, you wrote about adding .000 to your actual army strenght to make it more realistic... ...which makes it then...

"115,000 modern armors, 95,000 SAM infantry, 30,000 tanks, 35 battleships, 22 bombers, and 13 jet fighters"

...quite a lot of units.


Looking forward to here more about this war. How is your power graph/rating compared to America?
 
@ Snaaty: Funny story, my powergraph rating is acctually 1 point lower than the americans! Who woulda thunk it? In reality, its 115 modern armors, 95 SAM infantry, and 30 tanks, but the rest of the numbers are realistic and correct from the game. I'll post within 24 hours the next update.
Yay, modern armor! w00t!
 
Chapter 41, The First Battle

As darkness approached on the 7th of June, Napoleon grew a tad uneasy. No sightings of any enemy army had been reported, which made him even more wary. The assassins he had sent had onlt enraged FDR further, as his personal body guard was with him 24/7. The convoy rested at the edge of the Great Plains, where the weary soliders were to rest for the night.

At the same time, General Hubert Richardson was approaching from the southwest with the 2nd American Army. Gen. Richardson knew that Napoleon would be there, so he ordered his men to march doubletime. At 6AM, as dawn broke over the great Plains, the soliders awoke to ahorrible sight. On the hill above them, stood one of the American Army, ready for action.

The French had about 17,000 Modern armor, 11,000 SAM infantry, and 3,000 tanks. Meanwhile, the Americans had 13,000, 10,000 and 5,000 of the same troops in the same order. At 6:05, the first divison of armors speed down the hill and into Napoleon's left flank, soon after the whole army was rushing at Napoleon. His men held fast for the time being. 7:05 AM, the battle had been raging for an hour, with significant loses on either side. At 7:19, Napoleon sent out a desparate call for help to the 5th army, who were nearby.

The message was recieved and the 5th moilized quickly and set out to Napoleon's defence. By 7:40, the French line was starting to weaken severely, and the left flank was about to open up when, out of no where, the fifth army rolled in behind the Americans. Quickly losing heart, the Americans retreat north to their homeland.

Total Casualties: 6th French Army: 9,000 Modern Armor, 8,000 SAM infantry, 1,000 Tanks. 5th French Army: 1,000 SAM Infantry. 2nd American Army: 6,000 Modern Armor, 4,000 SAM infantry, and 5,000 Tanks. Total Franch Casualties: 19,000 men Total American Casualties: 15,000 men. Total Casualties: 34,000 men.

The first battle was a costly victory for the French. Will this hamper their efforts? Beats me, but... Find out next post! :)
 
"The message was recieved and the 5th moilized quickly and set out to Napoleon's defence."

@DemokraticKid I think you mean "Mobilized" Awsome speach by the "sultan"!
 
@Charles Li: You are correct, my spelling is awful on a computer, because I am the worlds worst typist. "Spech" ? What do you mean, oh great SPELLING MASTER? Thanks anyway! :)

Chapter 42, Awe in the power of War

Napoleon was in awe of the power of war. Never before had there been a war in which both nations have the exact same technology fighting each other. Never, ever. During the battle, a shot at his modern armor had hit it and sent a piece flying into the cabin. It grazed the Emporer across the cheek before stopping in some non-nessisary equipment.

Now, the slightly scared Napoleon led the battered 6th across the planes. He recieved messages that other armies had engaged the enemy. The 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 9th French armies met the Americans on the same day. All had won their battles except for the 9th army, they had been forced to retreat to French territory. Napoleon ordered that the newly created 13th army join and reinforce them there.

Napoleon had been keeping it a secret for a long time, but he was ready to unveil his secret to the world. He moved his arsenal of 20 ICBMs to the city of New York, and had them pointed at American cities. FDR laughed upon hearing of Napoleon arsenal. He thought," How could Napoleon have 20, when I only have three? Impossible."

His thoughts were changed when he saw pictures of the threat, sitting just a few hundred miles away. Within an hour, he recieved a message from Napoleon stating: " All the nuclear weapons pointing at you are set to go off. All I need is the slightest reason to do so. OK? Good. See you around!"

No major action was reported until June 10, 1752, when the 1st French army easiuly beat the 4th American Army. Just one day later, Napoleon's army, the 6th, was involved in yet another battle. On the 11th, Gen. Humphry Bragg of the 11th American Army attacked Napoleon's troops on the planes. At first, the two armies skirimshed, but by the end of an hour, at 9pm, the gloves were off as the battle ensued.

The 19,000 in the French 6th, facing off the 20,000 in the American 11th.
The lines wavered, as no advantage favoured anyone. After thirty minutes, American morale was collapsing, and Napoleon saw his chance. He sent out what was left of his SAM infantry, and smashed into the right flank. All of the infantry died, but it was enough to make the Americans run.

French casualties: 7,000 Modern Armor ,7,000 SAM infantry, and 3,000 Tanks.
American casualties: 5,000, 10,000, and 1,000 in the same proportion.
Only 2,000 French survived the attack, another costly victory for Napoleon. Before the small army could be decimated, they merged with the 7th Army, nearby, to make the 6-7th Army.

Will these costly victories stop? Will there be a nuclear war? Will... Find out next post!
 
It all comes down to this nexst chapter...
