Tsar of the Russias: HoI2 Kaiserreich AAR

Part 10: Trans-Siberian Railroad

When Omega first proclaimed his intentions of officially supporting Faith and Nation, most of the world thought he was insnane. They stopped laughing when Faith and Nation groups started appearing in Orthodox countries all over Europe. In Georgia and Ukraine, both Syndicalist nations that called religion "The opiate of the masses", attempts were made to destroy the Orthodox groups. But the Faith and Nation fought back, and soon guerrilla warfare had broken out in the nations. Russia made a declaration of protection over all Orthodox peoples in Ukraine and Georgia, and Omega sent letters to the leaders of the nations, simply saying, "Once the war in Central Asia is over, I shall come for you."
Georgia attempted to forestall Omega's wrath by replacing their Syndacist government with one more friendly towards the Tsar, but Omega declared that Georgia was rightful Russian lands, and he would have it, no matter what.
Meanwhile, in Central Asia, things remained relatively calm, with Russian forces steadily pushing deeper into enemy territory. And then some really bad stuff happened.

Omega was furious about this, and demanded full control over Russian lands in Mongolia and Tanna Tuva. At first it seemed like the Mongols would refuse, but then they noticed the massive Russian army on their border. Russia gained full control of the railroad, and many people in Russia did the happy dance.
 
Okay, I'm just gonna step back from gameplayness, and give a summary of what the fruit salads going on.

Major Powers
Germany and it's allies: While Ukraine may have swallowed most of Germany's European allies, with France defeated, the situation in Europe is clearly German-dominated. Africa is almost entirely controlled by either Germany or their allies. In Asia, almost all German possesions have been lost to Japan, but still, no one, not even the Germans, seem to really care.

Catholocism: Who woulda thought that the pope would be one of the most powerful rulers in the world during the 20th century? Italy controls the entire peninsula, and a good chunk of France. Carlist Spain, while still not controlling all of Spain, also has a good chunk of France under it's belt. Not really sure what's going to happen, but with Russia going Orthodox, it looks like religion might be the dominant force of the world.

Russia: Sure, we haven't fought in any major wars yet, but we've got freaking BLITZKRIEG! And if you ignore the inadaquecy of our navy and air force, we've got a freakin-awesome military. And for once, I wasn't defeated by Mongolia.:)

Minor Powers
Syndicalists: Haha, the commies are losing! I really don't see any way they can pull themselves out of this pit they dug for themselves..... The only nation in their alliance with any real power is the Ukraine. Sure, there are syndicalists in Spain and America, but neither of them are part of the alliance. So unless a miracle happenes, communisms gonna die.

Japan: Only reason it's a minor power is because everyone's ignoring it. The way it's military is looking, it could probably slaughter us all with one hand behind it's back, but right now it's busy grabbing unimportant tiny islands in the Pacific, so we should be safe.

California/USA: I'm really not sure which one's winning the war. California's gained the most ground, but America's been doing alot of encirlements. If the US wins, it'll be a communist superpower (And, with things going the way they are, probably the only communist country left). If California wins, it'll be some minor power no one cares about.

Other Places that no one cares about
Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and all those other places: With the Austria-Hungary empire divided, they've gone from pretty strong alliance to a bunch of really weak nations. I'm expecting them to start killing each other any time now. Either that or they just keep stareing at each other angrily.

South America, The Middle East, South Africa: Nothing important has happened here at all. It's getting kinda boring....
 
I think us Russians should go establish order in that circus that is Europe! :yeah:
 
We should cancel NAP with Finland
 
Can we get a pic of Modern Russia so we can see what nations we need to kill?
 
Part 11: Zhukov

June, 1938, Dawn: Battlefields of Central Asia

Lt. General Zhukov let his mind wander as he led his tank division through the the deserts of Central Asia. They had recently recieved the news of Russia's reclamation of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. It meant little to him, but apparently Omega had turned it into a massive political victory, using it to get rid of all the dissent against his rule. That news had been followed more news from Faith and Nation, where apparently it had created an Orthodox government in Bulgaria. They had offered an alliance to Russia, but Omega gave them the same answer he'd given Georgia: "Your lands shall be mine soon." After receiving Omega's not-so-friendly reply, Bulgria, seeming to follow the logic that Russia can't invade them if they've been wiped off the face of the Earth, declared war on Germany. In all the excitement going on, the annexation of Alash Orda had been all but overlooked. This irked Zhukov; Not because he wanted personal glory, but because if the victory had been highly publicized, it would have forced Omega to start sending fresh divisions to the front. But the Tsar's eyes had turned westward, and all new divisions were being deployed on the Ukrainian border, leaving Zhukov to have to fight a war on a large front with only a few scattered and disorganized divisions. And with the nearest airbase hundreds of miles away, air support was out of the question. Not even Blitzkrieg tactics could speed up the crawling advance: Armoured spearheads either bogged down due to the terrible terrain, weather, or from from facing forces that far outnumber them without any support at all.
Driver: "Movement ahead, behind the sand dune."
Zhukov instantly snapped out of his reverie.
Zhukov: "Load HE round." And then, into his radio, "Movement reported in sector K17. All units stay alert."
Then over the dune came a wall of Turkestanian soldiers, shouting in words that Zhukov did not fully understand, but was able to comprehend enough to realize that they were not asking for a teaspoon of sugar.
Zhukov: "Fire HE round!"
The tanks gun belched fire, followed by the guns of the other tanks. Enemy soldiers bodies were thrown by the explosions, but they still came forward. Bussinesslike voices started coming out of Zhukovs radio.
"Enemy attack in sector K12."
"Enemy counter-attack in sector D16."
"Enemy has launched flanking manouver in sector F22."
"Enemy has advanced and captured sector A12."
Zhukov, trusting his crew to be able to fight without him giving orders, started talking back into his radio.
Zhukov: "Sector K12, hold the line. Sectro D16, keep up the attack. Sector F22, fall back to fallback position, and prepare for counterattack with reserves from F20. Any forces in the A sectors, try to avoid being encircled, and await for sector D16 to finish they're attack so they can give support."
Zhukov looked up from his radio just in time to see the enemy retreating. With a sigh, he tried to get into a comfortable position on his seat. Just another normal day in Turkestan.
 
Part 12: Meeting with the Tsar

Tsar's Palace, St. Petersburg: Augiust 15, 1938.

Lt. General Zhukov stared at the clock on the wall. He'd been waiting in the room for well over an hour, with nothing to watch but the clock and the secretary (Who, probably due to being hated by his parents, was named Secretary Person) look at little pieces of paper, then write things down on other little pieces of paper. It made no sense to Zhukov, that they would rush him from Georgia almost the minute the fighting ended, only to make him wait for such a long time to actually meet with the Tsar. Zhukov looked back at the clock. 5 more minutes had passed.
As Zhukov stared despondently at the clock, the door to the Tsar's office was thrown open. Out from it stormed someone who looked like a diplomat. He was obviously not very happy. After he had left, Secretary Person poked his head into the Tsar's office and had a whispered conversation. When he came back out, he said, "The Tsar shall see you now."

The Tsar's office was very different from what Zhukov had pictured in his mind. It looked more like Omega's old Minister of Security office than an office of the Tsar.
Omega: "Have a seat."
Zhukov sat down on the hard wooden chair. Rumors of the Tsar's sudden "interest" in the command structure of the army flooded his mind. There had been talk of special reassignments for those who had fallen out of Omega's favor....
Omega studied the paper before him for some time before finally speaking again.
Omega: "So, you lead the Central Asian front during the war with Alash Orda and Turkestan. You did very well there.... You were able to defeat both countries without all those divisions you kept asking me for. And then you were sent to Georgia, where you commanded three infantry divisions during the brief fighting there, correct?"
Zhukov: "Yes, sir."
Omega: "I have read some of your theories on warfare, and I must say, I am very...."
Zhukov braced himself. Omega was going to say something like "displeased", and then Zhukov would be "reassigned"...
Omega: "... impressed with your ideas. So, I am creating three armored divisions to be put under your control for the Ukranian front."
Zhukov stared in utter amazement. Three armored divisions? No more having to use cavalry and infantry to support his attacks? But when he finally came out of shock, a question popped into his head.
Zhukov: "Ukranian front?"
Omega: "Oh, yes, I haven't told you yet. As soon as we've got enough men on the border, we're attacking Ukraine. The plans are on that map on the wall. I trust they meet with your approval?"
As Zhukov looked at the map, a grin slowly came to his face. It seemed as his his dreams were finally starting to come true.




And now, I present to you people, MOTHER RUSSIA!!!!

(And in other news, the communist Spain people annexed the Kingdom of Spain)
 
More land for Russia!

After a bit of time passed, I got an event where Transmur Republic (The white thing at the very edge of the second picture of Russia) asked for a vote over whether they should become part of Russia or stay independant. And, of course, Omega refused, and demanded they join Russia or die. Japan offered an alliance in exchange for control of the Transmur Republic, and giving me claim over alot of Asia, but I refused cause I don't want to be in alliance with someone at war with Germany. Then the Transmur Republic finally caved in, and they controlled by me now (And I replaced that bloody priest with the old ruler of Transmur Republic....)

part 13: The Ukraine War

Since the start of the Ukraines annexation of Germany's eastern allies, the eastern front had been a bloody stalemate, resembling the trenches of the Great War. This had continued for years, with Germany only making small gains, which were often retaken only a few days later. But this would all end when, on March 1, 1939, Russia launched a surprise attack at the Ukraine. Russian forces destroyed all opposition in their path, slaughtering thousands of Ukrainians with their massive amounts of tanks, planes, artillery, and infantry. Within a month, the Ukrainian army had been broken....

Northern Ukraine: March 12, 1939

Lt. General Zhukov had a mad grin on his face as his tanks drove across the Ukraine. The whole campaign in the north so far had been a total rout. Nothing that was sent against his three armoured divisions could even hope to slow them down. It wasn't very rare for the retreating enemy divisions to be caught by his tanks before they even had a chance to reorganize. And just up ahead was another of those divisions....
Zhukov: "Fire an HE round in the center. Driver, run down anyone we happen to catch up with."
Shells and machine gun fire tore through the ranks of disorganized Ukrainians. Within minutes, the whole division was either dead, or surrenduring. Zhukov laughed as he drove past the shattered remnants of the division. This was alot better than the deserts of Asia!

Central Ukraine: March 18, 1939
Sergeant Yuri fired his last round at the retreating enemy.
Yuri: "I need more ammo!"
A nearby officer tossed him another clip, which he put into his rifle and started fireing again the the enemy. As he was about to ask for another clip, his eye caught an enemy fighter, coming right at the officer who'd given him the ammo.
Yuri: "Watch out, sir!"
Yuri tackled the officer to the ground right as bullets hit where they'd both been standing just moments ago. He looked up in time to see the plane shot down by a Russian interceptor (Most likely PrinceScamp's, judging by the Green Llama painted on the side) Yuri got back on his feet, helping the officer up.
Officer: "Thank you, Sergeant. I guess I owe you."
There was something oddly familiar about the officer, but Yuri couldn't figure out what it was at first. When he did, his jaw dropped, and he immediantly leaped to attention.
Yur: "Yo..You... You're Majesty! I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you! I didn't mean to tackle you! Please don't arrest me!"
Omega laughed at Yuri's discomfort.
Omega: "I'm not going to execute you for saving my life. You'll actually probably get a medal. Now stop standing there and hurry up! They're getting away!"
Yuri: "But... You're majesty! It is not safe! You should be back at the palace!"
But Omega had already run far ahead. Yuri sighed, and ran after him. Someone had to make sure the Tsar got back home in one piece.

So, how's General Nuclear kid doing?
 
End of the War

After Russia's shocking breakthroughs in the beginning of the war, the rest of the fighting was rather anticlimactic. The Russian air force in the area, oftentimes directly under the control of PrinceScamp, took credit for the destruction of 3 whole infantry divisions, without any land support at all. It's not known how many enemy divisions Zhukov's three tank divisions encirlced and destroyed, but estimates are as high as 10. Even Omega's personal army destroyed at least two divisions, even though it saw much less fighting than it had in the earlier days of the war (They're entirely infantry and cavalry, which can't keep up with tanks, so the front kept getting farther and farther away....)
Even the German's helped out in the war, and a joint German-Russian attack destroyed 10 divisions (The enemies entire garrision of Belarus)
The war lasted two whole months. It could have been much shorter, as Russia took control of all the strategic provinces in just over a month, but Omega insisted on continuing the fighting, saying something about Zhukov only needing a few more Experience Points to get to Skill Level 5 (When the war ended with Zhukov only 7 points away from that level, Omega went into a deep deppression that only ended when he was reminded that there were plenty of remaining people left to kill that could give him the necessary experience)
So with the war in Ukraine over, and with Britain being the only Syndicalist power left to keep up the fight against everyone who doesn't like communism (Which would appear to be the whole world), all eyes turned towards Russia, to see what it's next move would be....
