135 The Brink of War

Time: 1958, (20 years after the Battle)

Location: Capitol

POV: Zulu

I listened to what Rommel said and keep shaking my head, ''Send in agent Nr. 89657.'' I said over the radio. Looking through the shaft a member of staff entered putting down the glasses in front of everyone, the Generals took their glasses and cheered, but when they downed the glass they soon noticed something was amiss, ''You! WHat did you put in the glass!'' one of the generals shouted towards the waiter, ''Sit down.'' He said softly, the man quickly lost his strength as he fell back onto his chair. 4 Men came into the room with a projector while the lights dimmed, ''Play film 276,'' I ordered, the men complied and played the movie.

A man appeared on the screen, it was none other than the Marshall, the generals looked with nostalgia at that old office, papers covering the desk, while behind him a beautiful crest of the Organisation hung. The Marshall sighed as looked at his feet before looking right into the camera, ''I am deeply disappointed. The very act that this film must be played means that I have failed, I have failed to train and groom my High Command correctly... This is film 276, and this is my feeling towards the action you are going to undertake. You as the High Command are a failure to the Organisation, a failure towards me and a failure towards your people, the very act of thinking of rebelling or overthrowing someone is not the way to achieve things. I thought I promoted harmony between my members, yet seemed to fail to do so at the Higher levels.'' The marshall paused as he made his way towards the wall on the left while the camera follows the movement, he continued as he touched the map on the wall lightly.

''If my order still holds any weight in your hearts... Then I order you to re-educate yourself, learn the ways of the Organisation again! I strip you of your rank and send you to work at the bottom again, climb your way back up and show yourself and me that you are worthy of the position you achieved, while also through this better understand the actions you must take. If my order does not carry any value anymore, then I can only say this: I will bring judgement to you...'' The video ended with that.

''I hope you can take this seriously, we shall now talk to the Civil faction, continue working for the organisation, sir!'' The agent shouted before leaving.

Rommel stood up after one hour, his arm still trembling, ''We should take this seriously...'' Rommel said to the others, ''Who were these people?'' One of the newer generals said, Rommel looked solemn, ''An extension of the Marshall's will even after death. We are unable to deny that existence and must comply with them. Hence we must scrap all plans and move to bilateral talks with the Civil faction!'' Rommel ordered the men. But just as they were to proceed an alarm sounded in the room, ''WARNING THE CONFED. HAS LAUNCHED A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE IN THE SOUTH AMERICAN SECTOR!''

But that was a problem for them to solve, I moved from the ventilation back into the open world and took the next train to the external Capitol. Taking 12 hours I slept in the 1st class cabin, the reason trains are used the most is because no planes can fly underground. New magnetic trains will be installed on the roof, opening up the ground to electric cars soon.

Arriving in the Capitol I saw people from all over the world, buildings rising high up into the sky as the entire valley is now covered in buildings, while 8 massive Hangars at the side were wide open, 4 of the 8 battle zeppelins peacefully sitting inside of them. 'The Capitol has changed a lot over the 20 years,' I sighed as I looked at the jungle of concrete buildings, the defences were visible, however, taking inspiration from the Internal Capitol the underground below the external Capitol has also a massive bunker complex, while rooftops were covered in ground to air missile installations, soldiers were also present keeping ultimate order, but no one took it as oppressive, they took it as pride instead.

Soon a massive circular building came into view, the heart of the Federation, the Parliament and Senate, Surrounded by Defences and Helicopter patrols it is heavily defended. I entered through a secret passageway that the Secret police installed, soon arriving in a tunnel network only know to us, it even has some rooms for the people keeping watch. ''Commander!'' the 2 agents saluted me as I entered, ''Did you prepare everything?'' I asked them, ''Yes commander!'' The replied. I nodded and headed out of the room back into the tunnel complex, soon after walking for 5 minutes I arrived right at the top of the dome, where below me the Senate with the Ministers debate, but now it is completely empty besides the Key leaders of the Civil faction. But what took me by surprise were the next words spoken by Rudolf.

''Gentlemen, as we speak our men have moved into position to capture and remove this tumour we call 'High Command', we will then have full reign of this nation and finally can implement more economic orientated production and move away from the Military production!'' Rudolf declared, my face turned white as I heard this, Immediately I pressed the Blue and Red button on my radio, after which all agents in the vicinity of 10 Kilometers must come to the agent's aid immediately while the Agents present in the Motherbase must arm and Mobilise. 'Why Rudolf, do you always act so quick and Ruthless!' I cursed.
