'Russia...There is many things I adore about Her, But the People is what has destined me to Become General Secretary of Russia, I Lead and I Serve, The Fundamental Journey Of Which I Went Across had always showed me 2 Things, That People are always Prideful in their country so long as they Get the Rewards and secondly, They will Fight to the last person when at war and have everything to lose'' -Vasily, Interview in Paris, 1990

Tarawa Seas, June 5th 1642, IGVN Hoshu

The Sea was filled with wrecks of Destroyed ships, Barely afloat, Jets still battled in the skies, But the Ships didn't open fired at each other as they Had exhausted themselves by over 18 hours of combat, and they slowly began to withdraw. Admiral Caesar looked at the enemy with a Scowl, for the second time in his life, he had lost due to enemy Missiles, His fleet of 200 Ships Lost Heavily.

Mu's Fleet lost 4 Carriers, 36 Destroyers and over 610 Jets, With the rest of their fleet having taking some pretty heavy damage, Meaning if the enemy attacked again, they would most likely be sunk. His Forces did no better, 3 Carriers, 29 Destroyers and 320 Jets were destroyed with more than half of the remnants being damaged, In all sense he gave this a certified defeat.

The 4th Reich had lost only 35 Destroyers and 5 Carriers and around 200 Jets, Making it clear to who won this fight, But for the Germans, they weren't happy either, they failed to cripple the enemy Fleet, letting them live another day. Not to mention they failed to also prevent them from doing the main Job they had of Sinking more than 100 Ships, Only Getting 72% of their Target.

The Battle of the Tarawa seas ended in a United Nations Defeat, with the looming fear that the German War Machine Seemed Unbeatable, As shown when the 4th Reich Penetrated with a Small Army of 72 000 Soldiers in Leifor and Took some coastal ports some 40Km from the Line.

For now however, The Western Front had Gone Quiet, But the Central Front was about to get a Wake up of violence

World Union Fleet, Size:700, June 4th 1642, En Route to Buskpaka Latan

On the Flagship Quasar, A 45 000 Ton Magic Battleship which reminded Anyone from Earth of a Iowa Class Battleship, Formed in the center of the Huge Fleet, The Fleet itself was divided into 5 Task Forces of 140 each.With the Holy Mirishial Empire having 35 Battleships, 5 Carriers and 40 Cruisers in each Task Forces, Giving the Impression that this Giant War fleet was Impossible to Beat.

"So many ships... You can feel the strength by just looking at them all. It truly feels like we won't lose to any enemy that will come." Captain of the Quasar, Marino said as he looked at the fleet

"That's no good, captain! "Just by looking", you say. If the report of the previous battle is correct, then the superpower fleet before our eyes might lose if the 4th Reich decides to launch a surprise attack.

However, with Us, the Holy Mirishial Empire... Even if our enemy is the 4th Reich, we may just win by sheer number." Admiral Marius said to Marino ''We have also compiled tactics and weapons useful in this war from years of splendid training, we simply cannot lose If we take the proper measure."

Admiral Marius was a Old man, Almost 270, But he had been in the Navy for 254 Years, He knew the Navy like the back of his hand, His Nickname 'Mr. Brain' showed his worth, It was him that had been pushing for the past 200 Years much needed Military Reforms, But being always Poor, made his Connections in the corrupt Naval Bureaucracy limited. One Reform he did Pass was the introduction of Better Carriers for the Navy back in 1630.

As they continued to Talk, They spotted something in the Horizon, Dozens of Fast Moving Planes coming right for them. No doubt, The 4th Reich was coming for a Secret Attack. Marius acted instantly, he might be one of the only Admirals in the central world that Earned his title, Being the son of a Peasant, gave him a Better grasp on Reality.
