Konstantin narrating

"All warfare is based on deception" -Sun Tsu, The Art of War

They had a plan to spread propaganda around the USSR, for the people to start a revolution.

Konstantin was looking over the border with friendly planes carrying small letters showing what the USSR is actually doing to them, the planes were being escorted by fighter jets tasked to protect them from anti-air.

After a few weeks of spreading the letters; the youth had started small demonstrations across the country. The military and politicians were concerned and announced that whatever the letters read: wasn't true and that they should go back to doing their business.

A PLAN FROM THE ENEMY TO DESTROY OUR UNIQUE COUNTRY? - A newspaper article read.

But some were skeptical about it and continued to do demonstrations.

In a small town where a demonstration was happening, the police were there to calm down the demonstrators. One of the policemen shot at a civilian, thinking that they were throwing a makeshift grenade; it was a larger rock.

"A CIVILIAN KILLED IN AN INCIDENT" Read another newspaper.

That caused the demonstrations to escalate to riots, now the civilians were fighting with the police and throwing molotov cocktails and DIY grenades. The military got caught up with this and intervened. 

Now, this was turning into a revolution/coup. The revolutionaries started to lean on supplies from the Slavic Union.

There were many names for this event, including "return of the whites", "the true movement", and simply how Konstantin names this whole operation "The First Trial".

The whole point was to weaken the military and the whole country, and it worked. Now it was time to tire them out, to break their morale. Konstantin was getting information on what is going on in the USSR from multiple sleeper agents. He was pleased by what they were telling him. 

After a few months, he prepared his own military at the border of the USSR and launched the attack on the country.

"THE ENEMY ATTACKS! TO ARMS!"

The politicians, military officers, and people were shocked and surprised, the revolutionaries were relieved to have some allies join the fight. He crossed the Dnieper in 2 weeks, breezed through Minsk, Kiev, Sevastopol, Riga, and Rostov on Don. Where he was caught with a new kind of revolutionaries, who wanted independence for themselves a little something called Don republic. He tried to reason with them politically, but it did not work. So he decided to do this the hard way, let's just say the area was evened out. And so he continued for Moscow, there was the fiercest fighting.

"CITIES FALL AS HE COMES NEAR"

The city fell into Konstantin's hands after he shell-shocked everybody there with his artillery. Now he was going to St. Petersburg, the fighting was fierce too out there. But he managed to walk with his soldiers with small casualties. He met every major known revolutionary in the European part of the USSR and put them in the military as NCOs. While he was mobilizing any prisoner of war that wants to fight for him, he got the news that the USSR finally collapsed. 

That was great news for him, but a problem too. The federal subjects are now independent, they are probably trying to find a way to protect themselves from him. He knew that the people who were supporting him were in danger if they were in those states. So he re-organized his army and started to advance east. This was "The Second Trial", that wasn't no plan B, this was improvised.

"The 'boss' has secured the western districts, he's starting plans for the eastern ones"

Konstantin: That's the story of the first trial.

The atmosphere around him was silent, with a little small talk in the background. 

UMP9: ...I didn't want to make you relive those thoughts...

Konstantin: Don't worry, you don't have to apologize. At some point, someone is going to ask me that.

M4 SOP II: Sorry for me asking this, but what is the second trial?

Konstantin: Well, I was about to tell you that. So basically...
