Hangar 3, Motherbase

0800 hours

''Gentlemen, Today we shall show the World our prowess, we shall declare our Swiss Neutrality to an end! We shall step out of the darkness and INTO THE LIGHT!3 Years ago our, we got attacked, by an Unknown Organisation. We were careless, no, I was careless. I did not take into consideration that such a strong Organisation existed. They infiltrated almost the top and WE PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR MISTAKE! 7,613 MEN DIED THAT DAY, OUR FOUNDATIONS WERE WIPED OUT! BUT I SWORE TO AVENGE THEM, SO WE HID OUR ANGER OUR REGRET AND REVIVED OUR ORGANISATION! AND TO MARK OUR REVIVAL I HEREBY OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THE HMS DREADNOUGHT OUR PRIDE OUR STRENGTH, WE WILL RULE THE SKIES AND IF THE 4 ARE DESTROYED WE WILL BUILD NEW ONES, AND IF THOSE ARE DESTROYED WE WILL SEND THOUSANDS OF PLANES AND IF THOSE ARE DESTROYED WE WILL SEND THOUSANDS OF MEN AND TANKS. NO MATTER THE COST, NO MATTER THE PRICE, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, TO CREATE HOPE OR TO DESTROY, TO MAKE HISTORY OR TO DIE IN HISTORY! WE SHALL FIGHT, WE SHALL MAKE THE UNION PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!''

I shouted through the Microphone. all 4 Hangars were filled with personnel, 100,000 that are already located in Motherbase and another 200,000 outer core members. it Was cramped, but the cheering was massive, the roofs of the Hangars shook under the sound waves. 'EEEEEE' the massive Siren went off as the Hangar doors went open, revealing the HMS Dreadnought to light once more. massive thrust was delivered, with an engine, only I could partially understand, 'It looks like a jet engine, but isn't, more like a rocket engine. But it is also not that.

The Massive Zeppelin started to move, I was on the Bow of the Zeppelin as I was giving my speech.'' ALL HAIL THE MARSHALL! ALL HAIL THE ORGANISATION! ALL HAIL THE MARSHALL!'' The 300,000 people who gathered here saluted showing their utmost support and their pride for the Battle Zeppelin. ''Sir, please retreat back to Command Centre, It will be slightly hard to breathe without the equipment.'' Nova came up to me while the HMS dreadnought started to fly its maiden voyage, a flight going all around Switzerland. But the First Destination is Bern.

I headed towards the command centre, there were the heads of Intelligence, Engineering, Construction, Black Skulls and Ravens in there. ''Marshall!'' They saluted as I entered. ''At ease, we are doing a quick briefing already.'' I replied.''Yes, Marshall!''

''Rudolf we already gave you our reports, you can read them to the Marshall.'' The head of Intelligence said. Rudolf just nodded. ''As of 2 weeks ago we have completely taken over the Swiss army, and integrated into our organisation. 12% did not agree and deserted. Besides that, [Shadow] Has gotten deeper into the Union's Organisation. We have confirmed 250,000 active personnel and 2,500 Tanks in the European theatre alone. We were unable to confirm outside of Europe. Construction of Motherbase is expected to be Finished by 1939. And the Second battle Zeppelin the HMS Eclipse is expected to be combat ready next year. R&D on what you have called the [Assault] Rifle and, [Infantry Anti-Tank] weaponry has begone, with the development of [rocket engines] right after that by Werner von Braun.'' Rudolf reported. ''Good work gentlemen, It is time to start Phase 3, but I will initiate phase 4 at the same time. Mobilise our men, I need Switzerland's production capabilities to be increased, I need the entire right cliff face to be used for Storage of Materials, I need guns, ammo, Tanks to start to be stockpiled as well. We need to start preparing for a prolonged war people!'' I said a tiny bit anxiously. ''Yes, Marshall!'' They replied. ''Now let's start the Parade! It is a 1-hour flight to Bern From here Marshall.'' Head of Construction said. ''Than let's go to the Bridge gentlemen,'' I ordered. We stood up and made our way to the bridge. People were walking to and fro in the Zeppelin, as this is their second flight.

''Marshall on the bridge!'' A Hauptmann reported. ''Marshall on the bridge!'' Another soldier reported. ''Marshall, welcome to the bridge, these 10 crews are our navigators, gunmen, Head of Engineering department onboard, head of storage onboard, head of Security on the Zeppelin and the head of Personnel on board.'' The captain introduced these young men and women to me. They look in their 20s and full of excitement. HMS Dreadnought slowly left the hangar and started to climb for altitude. ''Altitude 150 Meters from the ground and rising, total altitude from sea level is 1700 meters Captain!'' A navigator reported. ''Keep it steady,'' he responded.

''Altitude 2100 meters sir, approaching cruising altitude of the altitude of 600 meters above the ground.'' The navigator reported again. ''Go to cruising altitude with oxygen pressurisation!'' The captain demanded. ''Rising to 5000 meters for cruising altitude(it includes the height of the mountain, so 5000 meters from sea level)'' The navigator responded. ''Activating pressurisation!'An engineer said.

''Easy she goes.'' The captain said. ''Sir we are reaching cruising speed!'' The navigator shouted. ''Bern, ETA 55 Minutes!'' The navigator at the map said.

''Sir, all systems are nominal, activating secondary and Primary weaponry! Ship gun fire-control systems Online!'' the fire control officer reported. ''Sir, she is ready.'' The captain said to me. ''Sir wait! The Radar is picking up a Large Movement 12 O'clock!'' The Radarman shouted. The captain immediately picked up His Binos and headed to the front window of the bridge. ''No Sir, it are many separate entities closely together!'' The Radarman corrected. The captain whispered, before shouting ''Jesus Mary and Joseph.....ALL CREW THIS IS THE CAPTAIN, BATTLESTATIONS, I REPEAT BATTLESTATIONS!'' ''Sir?'' The crew looked bewildered. ''Marshall 100 enemy planes are approaching!'' The captain said. ''How did they pass all our defences?!? Even then where did they launch it from?'' I asked. ''We cannot verify Sir, but they are here, and they are probably not here to greet us!'' The captain said a bit solemn. ''Launch the Hurricanes!'' The captains ordered, before continuing, This will be a rough ride people!''
