The Red Bear Is in Nihonkoku Shoukan

Liberation of Altarus(1)

'Liberating nations under Brutal regimes, Like we did with your grand Nation of Poland under Hitler, Makes me a proud man for They know we saved you from fates akin to Satanic Rule' -Vasily, 1970, Warsaw

Papaldia Empire, Esthirant, December 1st 1639

Supreme Commander Arde was baffled. Knowing that Mu sent an observer to The Russian Union and finding out that their analysis showed Russia would emerge victorious, he came up with feasible countermeasures for dealing with a larger military force. He thought, without actually seeing the results of Mu's analysis, that, if anything, what he would've misread was their method of attack. However, based on the report during the meeting, he was completely baffled over the amount of pure strength they had. Losing everything they sent to the Kingdom of Fenn wasn't a big deal where ground forces were concerned, but it was equivalent to a 15% of their naval power.

The implications of this information were causing confusion in Arde's mind. If instead it were some country inside the civilized areas that had brought a fleet of let's say 600 ships-of-the-line, he imagined that the forces they dispatched would have taken some heavy damage and their overall strategy would have been delayed a bit, but there was no possible way they would ever get wiped out in less than a week.

He had calculated Russia's war potential using the report on the naval battle with the Lauria, but maybe some of the information in it was inaccurate.He assumed that Russia would have a weaker navy if they only began to build gunboats.

"I need to look at all of our information on Russia again and check the sourcing! Mu... what kind of information did they stumble onto?! ...Wait, could it be? No, Surly they would not jeopardize our Friendship, Right?"

Arde imagined the worst possible situation. Could Mu have possibly... started exporting their machine science weapons? By moving their technology from the Second Civilization to the farthest reaches of the world, they wouldn't encounter much risk to themselves and they could attack the empire by proxy. If by some miracle Russia was able to wipe out the Third Civilization, it would fall to the First Civilization, mainly the Holy Mirishial Empire, to keep them in check. The level of advancement outside the civilized areas was too low for them to reproduce the weapons, too. And for Mu, they would be able to measure how effective their weapons were against other superpowers, profit from the exports, and also keep the Papaldia Empire in check; it wasn't just two birds, but three birds with one stone.But Mu and Papaldia were on good terms, so they had to have another way they were this strong.

Supreme Commander Arde ordered his men to reinvestigate Russia in much more detail before the next battle.

Then he saw the Report of the Invasion near Altarus by Russia's puppets, He had already sent notice to send a extra 80 000 Men to the Colony to help and another 150 ships to protect, For if Altarus fell, The Lands of the Kingdom of Papaldia would surly revolt in open rebellion.

Seas around Altarus, Same time

The sounds our hundreds of cannons firing filled the seas, For hours the Papaldians and Rodenuis fores battled in the seas, many ships were already sinking, There was no plans of operations, Both sides attacked each other with hate.

Papaldia had the bad hand due to Being outnumbered and Russia Using Missiles to wipe out any of their Wyverns that got too close to the fleet, And the worse was most of their fleet had only 60 guns on them while the 200 they faced had all 80 guns. Making it a very bad spot for them.

But they did have some good hands. they Had 9 120 Gun ships with Steel Plating and all their crews were very well trained, Meaning they could beat the larger fleet, But All these Advantages did nothing should the Russians still be a nuisance with Missile attacks when their Wyverns attacked.
