[May 23, 1641][THE PHILADES BLUENOTE]{SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. COSPIRACY OR EMERGENCY?}

In the last few days, people reported an increase in activity in the palace of the 1st and 3rd Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with many Officers from the Grand Armèe and the Marine Imperiale having frequent meetings with Government Officials behind closed doors.

Now, many of you readers will say that this is normal in times of war, and this journalist would normally agree. Although it has become suspicious when it was discovered that many of those Officers and Government Officials were all part of the same broader political group, of which we still won’t disclose the name due to lack of evidence against the suspects, and many other members of the National High Command are not aware of many of those meetings.

This leaves this journalist with one question in mind… What is the purpose of these meetings? Are they discussing an increase in the ongoing Martial Law in the outermost provinces to keep them more in line? Or worse, are they planning a plot against our Emperor? This journalist can only wonder.

NEW STEEL MILL OPENED IN DURO IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GOVERNOR OF GRANDE BOURGOGNE

On April 27, Duro’s expanded Industrial Area was the scene of great jubilee for the opening of the newest Steel Mill, financed by the Parpaldian Ministry of Industry

The ceremony of the activation of the mill and the forging of its first Steel was personally conducted by the Director of the Statal Steel Mills in Duro, Jacques Burò, in a ceremonial fanfare designed to show the greatness of the Parpaldian Empire to the world. 

The governor of Grande Bourgogne province attended alongside the Mayor of Duro and representative from the ministry of industry and there’s also rumor that the Emperor’s 3rd Cousin, Count Regulus La Montblanc, major financer of the Imperial Steel Mills and primary figure among the ranks of the Imperial Coalition, was also supposed to be at the ceremony, but could not attend due to unforeseen matters he had to deal with.

This new Mill could represent the resilience of the Empire in the face of the humiliation that happened less than three hours later in the Ornal Sea in the eyes of the public. Will this image last, or will it crumble with time? Only time will tell.

Extracts from a soldier’s diary

13th June, 40th year in the reign of His Majesty

Wet.

The company was forced to halt after two vehicles were stuck in the mud during a torrential downpour; there would probably be a delay of two or three days in our advance. Everything else looks good, high command notified us of steady progress heading towards Otaheit in the North, war expected to end in five or six months. Commander told us to camp out until the rain passes before moving the tanks.

Ration amount seemed to decrease a bit compared to the delivery two weeks ago— probably supply chains being targeted by mercenaries or geurillas from what rumours I’ve got— missing two pieces of biscuit and a can of tinned vegetables; Lonni decided to share his chocolate bar with me, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Expecting another day of rain tomorrow, probably would have to try and un-ditch the tanks— these Hounds seem to be more stubborn than usual; we’ve already failed in getting them out today. Commander told us to double our efforts, seemed to be scared of something, maybe CAS.

Those Marins can’t harm us anyways with how fragile they are; I’ve no idea why he’s panicking so much.

20th June

We seemed to have caught up with other units, took us a while to fix the Hounds but we got there in the end.

Encountered an ambush by the Rats along one of the major roads, some new anti-tank weapon from what it seems, man-portable, looks like Sturmhammer but is in tube shape instead of having a charge at the end; I gave the order to fire, torn three of them into dust.

2 tanks were knocked out, crew and all; thank Yggdra I’m not first in the column. It took us some time to clear off the wreck at front, Thomsen and Gerhard are both dead along with their crews.

Did a short minute of silence for them, they will be missed greatly

27th June

Proceeding at slow and steady pace towards linkup point Charlie, commander seems to be more nervous than ever and has ordered entire company to proceed at reduced speed— fear of ambush is what I’m guessing. We’ve had to send out scout parties on motorcycles to the roads before moving after more explicit orders from high command.

More chatter on the radio while orders are given to commander, “Japan” is mentioned a few times, spooked my nerves a bit from what I’ve been hearing about them from scraps of newspaper.

Rain pouring down again, I’ll shoot myself if my Emily decides to dig herself into the mud (again)

29th June
Commander had some worrisome news no doubt. Report file was sent in to him from high command via the usual ration and ammo trucks, the man’s gone pale and stared at the note for several minutes without a word.

He took his lighter and burned it; there’s nothing left of that paper but ash.

Commander refused to talk of it, but we were apparently ordered to turn back in retreat and regroup with the entirety of Army Group South near Alue with maximum speed and minimal delays.

Daily rations decreased yet again, down to one biscuit, a slice of bread, two cans of meat, some tinned sausage and a bit of sauerkraut. No chocolate.

Sometimes I worry that this war isn’t going to plan, especially with this bizarre turn of events, but a soldier is here to do his job; I’m not supposed to question that much.

Orders are orders, we move first thing tomorrow morning.

30th June
I don’t know what we’re dealing with here, but the news has finally been out— Valkyries Base has fallen at the hands of Japan.

If they can ruin the airforce so thoroughly, we are no doubt in deep trouble— how can a single company hold out against such a threat? The chatter amongst the company are endless, whispers about superheavy tanks with impenetrable armour, devastating guns and fast movement.

I would’ve dismissed it as pure propaganda, were it not for their planes.

I saw one fly overhead today, we were lucky we’re not the targets, but I know our days are from now on, numbered. No propeller’s, same as those damned Wizards up North, but fast. Much faster. Twin exhausts and two rudders, rockets of immense size slung under the fuselage, and a sharp nose pointed like the beak of an eagle.

This thing… it looks like it’s out to kill. Our Antares looks like some antiquated children’s toy next to it.

It’s terrifying, I can still hear the loud explosion of sound when it roared past over our heads.

Commander nearly fainted at the sight, and all the exposed infantry ducked under the tanks. Is this what defeat feels like? I don’t know. Our progress to Alue continues, but now every man fears for their lives. Death is cruel and comes knocking at times most unexpected.

Maybe there’s a chance we’ll make it out alive if the General knows what he’s doing, and I pray to God he’ll do it quickly.

9th July
Came under attack, all tanks wiped out, I’m lucky I survived the initial attack.

Rumours of Japanese advances in our direction, should be catching up soon.

Commander is dead, entombed in his steel coffin.

It’s every man for himself, most survivors have fled into the woods.

I stayed behind with Lonni and Günther, best to use a bit of shelter and save the ration packs.

15th July
Lost, we have no idea where we’re going, can faintly hear gunfire, Japanese close.

Constantly fleeing, no time to rest.

Sleep kept at minimal, I feel like my eyes might pop out.

[Final entry] 18th July

Flowers blossom in Ragna, while my family watch on
We fight in the dust, we feel our souls are gone
Why are we here?
Death walks through our ranks, while the twisted screams go on
We run and we run, while the twisted screams continue on
Why are we here?
Not a bird cries, no joyful tune at dawn
While my family watch on, in the streets of Ragna
They watch on, while we suffer and bleed till we’re gone

Wir sind verloren.

Summoning the Cold Rivalry, Chapter 80–Official end to the New World War arc

Chapter 80 Prometheus

Gra Valkas faced its total defeat, but what now? How will the world move forward when the balance is totally crumbled?

All they had to asked was—Did they even fought the right enemy?

(I just want to thanks every reader that have followed me from the start. It’s honestly breathtaking that I was able to continue this far—I was thinking of quitting at some point lol.

But, still, it was made my goal to actually finish this fanfic so I hope that you all can see it to the end together.)

Last Message : Sorry Mother

Previous Wargame have lead many Parpaldia sailor deaths

The silence of harbour , many family waiting their son return
Despite many greet and hugs their son who return from Navy itself some didn’t….

Mothers searched the deck for hours to find familiar faces, wives clutched their children tightly hoping she will meet her husband again and old fathers stood stiff with fading hope. But many names were never called

One quote from pregnant wive of sailor
“He said he promised he would come home before winter,” she whispered

Many family cry and breaking down after receiving death messages of their fellow son

Their younger son and daughter asking where their father is ? But answer itself would hunt them for rest of their lives

In day many people come to religious hall praying and mourning death of their beloved son/ Husband / boyfriend disease

Let the God always take care of their souls

Let them place within among good people

Let their souls rest

Let their know that their pain is ending

[SIOS RAID WARGAME RESULTS] Total Parpaldian Catastrophe

Usually, during Wargame, there is a lot happening that makes recounting what happened an absolute chore. This time however, the Parpaldian got mog so hard so quickly I can actually broadly tell what happened fairly easily cus the Parpaldian manages to lose the engagement within 2 hours and 15 minutes in-game time. For reference, an average NHS wargame naval engagement length is 8 in-game hours

If there are things I found both sides have in common during this operation is that practically no one on both sides has proper Combat Air Patrol going over their head. The Altaras team won because they managed to find the Parpaldian formations first and muster their strike earlier and hit them before the Parpaldian can do the same to them.

It also doesn't help for the Parpaldians team that their Air Commander orders their CAP to RTB for refuel and rearmed when their replacements are in the air yet. That plus a combination of mismanaged CAP zone mean their CAP was out of position when Altaran strike comes and they can attack at their leisure because there isn't anything that is breaking up their formation (they have AA of course but CAP is more effective at that) allow the Altarans to concentrate attack on Parpaldian capital ships.

On the Altaran team meanwhile, their CAP can be characterized by being very understrength across the board with the Light Carrier formation only have a pair fighter for CAP while other formation just have no CAP at all. Even their airfield doesn't have much in CAP as they only have a flight of 4 fighters to protect each of their airfields. They were lucky that Parpaldian airstrike didn't come in time before the game end or the casualties count would look very very different.
