Chapter 1233 Preparing For A Military Invasion



Field Marshal Adelbrand stood in the headquarters of the German Department of Defense. On his screen was a visual of the ongoing situation in the Rus sates. It had been well over a year since the Reich first annexed Poland, and during this time, they had begun shipping weapons to the various factions who were engaged in the ongoing Rus Civil War.

In previous conflicts, the German high command had always met up within the Kaiser's palace. This was done simply because Berengar did not want to leave the comforts of his own home while commanding the war effort. However, after inheriting his father's throne and palace, Hans did away with this tradition, and instead built a dedicated headquarters within the city of Kufstein.

By now both the rebels and the Boyars both had access to relatively modern firearms, which they made use of to slaughter each other en masse. Hans had done this to ensure that the most blood was spilt during the conflict, before he sent in his own forces to clean up what remained.

Currently, the only German troops who were in the region were special operations soldiers who were performing reconnaissance roles, and nothing else. While German jets were able to fly over the region and capture images of the conflict, sometimes it was best to have troops on the ground to properly observe what was happening.

These soldiers were dressed in Flecktarn camouflage, with modern plate carriers, high cut ballistic helmets, night vision goggles with thermal clip-ons, and ghillie hoods. They blended quite well into the eastern European environment, as their body camera footage was displayed on the screen within the German version of the Pentagon.

The leader of the squadron spoke softly into his comms, as he aimed down the 4-14x magnified optic of his designated marksman rifle. One which resembled the SVCh sniper rifle. A weapon that was only a prototype during Berengar's past life.

The weapon had an optic, a suppressor, a bipod, a white light, and an IR illuminator/laser. It was painted with a woodland rattle can pattern, and had ghillie netting over it, making it almost impossible to see from the distance which the sniper and his fireteam were currently sitting at.

While observing the ongoing chaos that was taking place in a nearby village, he was requesting permission to take out the local boyar, who was hiding behind the wall of his castle, while his loyal soldiers fired onto the crowd of armed civilians who laid siege to it.

"Target is in sight, approximately 800 meters out. Permission to terminate the objective?"

Adelbrand's voice could be heard on the other line, as it denied the sniper permission to take the shot.

"Negative, you are there to observe and perform reconnaissance, not perform assassinations!"

This remark annoyed the sniper. He was watching a town lit on fire, as the boyar's men massacred his uprising civilians by the hundreds. It was not something that most men could simply sit by and watch. And yet, he was ordered to stand down and observe the chaos. He could not understand what High Command was thinking, and was quick to voice this confusion as gunshots echoed in the distance.

"Sir, hundreds of women and children lie dead, and more are being killed every second. Give me the order to fire, and I can end this massacre once and for all!"

Despite his protest, Adelbrand's words were cold and emotionless as he once more declined the order to eliminate the Boyar.

"I'm sorry, Sergeant, but the Kaiser does not wish for that to happen... You will observe and report until the battle is concluded. That is all!"

After hearing this, the sniper let go of the pistol grip and pounded his hand in the dirt. He could not believe that the new Kaiser was willing to sit by and watch as these people were massacred. Wasn't the whole goal of this operation to annihilate the Rus males and take the women and girls back home for marriage and betrothal? If that was the case, then by the time the full scale invasion began, there would be no women and girls left to marry!

In the air above Novgorod, a reconnaissance drone flew proudly in the air. It was being operated by a member of the Luftwaffe who was sitting back, and pounding an energy drink in the comfort of the fatherland.

The drone continued to survey the city below, and the fires that were waging across its territory. Riots had broken out in Novgorod for the 11th time this month. The people were armed, and firing upon the Boyar's men, while the Boyar's men returned fire. Looting was common, and rape was around every corner.

This was not exclusive to Novgorod. In fact, all the major Rus cities were suffering similar riots. As people behaved like animals in an attempt to overthrow the nobles who ruled over them with an iron fist.

The information from this drone was reported directly back to the Headquarters of the Department of defense, which Adelbrand observed alongside the footage which was being streamed by boots on the ground.

It was becoming increasingly clear that this civil war was reaching a climax, and when that happened, the Reich would initiate an invasion of the Rus States. This invasion would require at most a hundred thousand men to end things within a year's time.

This allowed for absolute mobility, whether it was with Light Tactical Vehicles, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Utility helicopters or jet powered transport aircraft. The Reich was already preparing its forces in the nearest borders and airbases.

When the signal was given, one hundred thousand men would deploy in full force, while the five thousand special operators, who were already behind enemy lines, would be given the order to act as the spearhead of the operation.

They would invade the Rus towns and cities, laying waste to the male population. While the rank and file of the German Army would capture the women and girls and bring them back to the Reich for processing.

Once the war was over, German men would repopulate the region with their wives. While the Rus women and girls were spread across the Fatherland and its colonies for germanization. Naturally, they would only be married off once they were of legal age to do so.

It would be a swift and brutal war, one that would end the Russian bloodline once and for all. Instead, a new breed of Germans, similar to the Prussians, would appear in the east. And the German Empire would not halt its conquest until all of Siberia was under its control.
