The Final Chapter? I got Civ 3 for Hannukah, and am hoping to play, unfortunately, it won't run. With nothing left to do, I am continuing the saga.
History of the Great Patriotic War, Chapter 4: The Red Storm.
With the fall of mainland Britain, the rest of 1945 and 1946 were not so much characterized as one titanic effort, but several smaller, more fierely thought efforts.
Pe-2 bombers based in Scotland bombarded Torshvan, allowing easy capture. Then, the few transports and destroyers continued their advance, occupying Iceland. Once seizing control of the Atlantic, the plans were made for an action to knock the US out of the war. In the spring of 1946, destroyers and freighters, relying more on speed and stealth than strength, descended on the Eastern coast of the US, seizing New York and Washington. The humiliated US had no choice but to end the war, and allow the occupation of their financil and political centers.
It was at the time of the fall of the US that the decision was reached to solidify control on Europe. The Swedes, protesting the continued presense of the Red Army in neighboring Norway and Finland, were invaded by surprise and despite favorible defensive terrain, were occupied in two months with little loss to the invading force. The Irish Free State requested that Northern Ireland be freed from occupation and reunited with the rest of the island. Simultaneously with these requests, terrorist activities were launched by deluded religious groups. Ireland was then united, only this time under the Hammer and Sickle.
In the middle of continental Europe, Switzerlands financial complicity with the Third Reich was discovered. Not wishing to maintain a haven of corrupt capitalistic bankers in the midst of the workers paradise under corruption, a surprise attack bypassed the famed Swiss defensive Alps and occupied the country.
In the east, Turkey continued to be an obstacle to effectively attacking the British occupied Middle East. They were given a generous proposal to allow the Red Army to move through Turkey, in return for Soviet protection should Britain counter-attack Turkey with B-29's. The Turks refused this generous offer, continued their dangerous expansion of their naval and air forces, and requested that the Soviet Union cease military traffic through the Dardenell straits. For this insolence, Turkey was invaded and occupied by winter's time, and the road was now open to the weak side of the British Middle Eastern Empire.
Syria was occupied by winter's time, as well as Cyprus. However, reinforcements were slow in arriving do the winter weather, as well as the needs of garrisoning Turkey. Allied tanks and aircraft counter-attacked, leveling the city of Damascus. However, Spring once again belonged to the Red Army. T-34's ambushed the B-29's and other fighter aircraft in Iraq, seizing the country and alleviating pressure east of the main armed thrust.
The main army seized Tel Aviv, and rolled all the way to the Suez Canal, there destroying a just assembled A-bomb. No doubt the British were preparing to use it.
In the middle of North Africa, allied counter-attacks drove the Red Army out of Egypt and all the past Darnah. The Red Army was finally able to reinforce the region, though it was hard passing Air patrols out of Malta. The newly landed army split in two. Half rushed off into French Tunisia, advancing and taking all the cities the british had seized from the French. The other half launched a counter-attack into Egypt, slowly regaining the ground lost during the winter. This campaign culminated in the recapture of El Alemain. Stalin personally ordered the destruction of the town where the Red Army had suffered its most severe defeat only 6 months earlier.
Under attack from both the east and west, Cairo and Alexandria were occupied, completing the destruction of any viable British opposition. Churchill left to Gilbratar, against which operations would be impossible without approval from the Spanish. With all of Europe except for Spain (and Portugal, which had been occupied by Spain in 1945 as a "protectorate"), Comrade Stalin hoped Franco would feel the pressure and hand Churchill over. But this would not be the case.
ooc: Don't know if I'm going to complete this, time is running low, and hopefully I can get Civ 3 to work.
