FORCED RIVALs [Nigeria x GreatBritain] ✓

RIVALs 10

The U.K military crosses the red line and engages with the Nigerian forces on the other side of the field. Dean is left in camp with a handful of soldiers and a dozen PaDP officers to keep him protected.

Zianas paced inside the command center in Aso Rock. Many ministers and government officials with countless securities fill the spacious room.

"We are defending in depth sir", Mr. Kano - Minister of Defense - tells Zianas.

"What do you mean by that?" Zianas asked Mr. K, pushing his glasses with his middle finger.

"We are trying to force the war on its flanks by delaying the advance of the U.K military"

"And you want to achieve this, how?"

"We will by buying time and causing additional casualties. Our fortifications can hold their tankers and trucks. Plus we have the numbers and regional strength"

Zianas says, "fortifications only buy time. You won't tell me that's all we'll do to resist that kind of force"

"Sir, we have air support on high ground..."

"Why haven't they engaged yet?"

"They will when it's time. The last thing we want is to arouse suspicions"

"But..."

"Sir, we'll win this war. The monkey never loses its prey"

"I'm just doing my job as President. I've never seen Dean fight but I know he has support one way or another"

"We have the advantage. Our wiles are clever and well planned. More enforcement will just be more dead bodies on our walls"

"It better be. This is midnight already. I need to get some rest. Call me when things go South"

One man on an army Galligan ran to Kano standing in front of the miniature screen, four feet tall. "Sir, our front men are wilting under the pressure of attack"

Kano replied, "Switch places. Take the front men behind"

"Ok sir"

On the other side of the field outside his tent, Dean stands with a dozen PaDP officers. A flying bullet managed to drop by his side but he didn't notice"

"How many men do we have left?" Dean asked Capt. Stannis

"Sir, we've not done count yet, but we've lost almost half already"

"Tell the men to retreat, now"

"Sir, if we retreat now the Nigerian military will advance even further"

"How much further are we talking about here?"

"Until Zianas or whoever is in charge gives the command

"So we really need reinforcements"

"Yes we do, sir. But not land, water. They won't be expecting anything from around there"

"Thought we had a problem using water"

"We found a solution. But it's one ship at a time. We go left and we die. We go right we die"

"So it's a tunnel pathway on the open sea"

"Correct sir"

"Fair enough" he releases his breath for a minute. Many thoughts whirl in his brain for more than 25 mins. Then he said,

"Stannis, go get me my phone. I'll love to make my first phone call"

"Copy that sir"
