The Lone Star State

Chapter 4: Cease Fire

Leiforia Federal Republic of Leifor
29/07/1638
Prime Minister Vladimir Abdulaev Abisov knew this was the end for Leifor. It was clear the enemy's army was right outside the capital and their artillery could fire at any moment. Fighting could break out any second destroying the ancient capital in the process.

Their planes performed circling maneuvers across the city periodically dropping bombs onto fortifications or ships that weren't bombed in their week-long campaign. The airfield was in ruins and the train station too it was impractical to flee, no forms of transportation out of the city was annihilated. The only things that remained were the roads, the very roads their forces used to get to the capital.

Simply follow the roads as all roads lead to Leiforia. Several units have already surrendered in the surrounding towns and villages. No Naval ships were present, maybe to them boats were obsolete and planes were simply more efficient and faster.

One thing was clear: the war was ending. And Leifors crown of the third strongest nation in Ashera was over now it belonged to this newcomer.

"Let the invaders inside I wish to speak a peace deal with them. A ceasefire anything. Speak to them in every known language we could possibly use to get through to them." The Prime Minister ordered.

"Yes Prime Minister." War Minister Gagarin responded by sending out messengers to begin the process of capitulation.

Several hours have passed now. Abdulaev was worried his foot was rapidly tapping the floor in anxiety. The city should've been attacked by now or a message should've come in.

Then the message he was waiting for finally came in.

"Prime Minister, we've made a breakthrough in language barriers. Many of their troops understand Pagandan old Paganda but it's intelligible for the Pagandan officials here in Leiforia." Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolai Sokolov said.

"Pagandan officials? Never mind they said any demands or said who they are? Anything about them or something?" Prime Minister Abdulaev asked.

"Our forces have worked a cease fire; currently we're sending the orders out; currently they should receive them in a few hours. Their own forces should be getting them in about the same time." Nikolai said.

"Good, have you figured anything out about them?" The Prime Minister asked.

"We believe they're from a country called the United States of America and they are a state of the country known as Texas." Nikolai explained.

"We lost to a single state that doesn't even have all the resources or leadership of that country." The Prime Minister paled and he now understood why they didn't have any Naval forces. Cause almost none were stationed in the States coast.

But then he really paled. Upon the realization that their Air Force was untouchable by their own air forces and that probably isn't even the best thing they have depending on what kind of nation they were. They could've been an empire who had forces stationed all over their old world with the capability of attacking any of their enemies.

And a single one of their core states only held a fraction of the mother nations forces. It was possibly only a quarter of the total amount Leifor could field with just volunteers alone and they still won with overwhelming air power alone.

They haven't even seen their navy yet because it doesn't exist yet. When they do build one it would be practically unstoppable even if it was a small one consisting of a few capital ships and dozens of cruisers, frigates, corvettes and destroyers. They had accurate bombs that required very little input from the pilot to imagine their cannons.
