Ironblood Frontline

The Sun rose again as the bodies of the Separatist lay across the field now seen by the Ironblood Soldiers, who was a bit surprised by the carnage, but they did deserve it.

On the other hand, Tirpitz was a bit confused since when she talked to the one who sent the Air Support, the voice was familiar to Tirpitz, but still she decided to ask her name anyway.

To her surprise and even more confusion when the person introduced herself as KMS Hood and told her history.

Such as that when KMS Hood was still part of the British Royal Navy, the Kriegsmarine decided to steal her and used against the British, then participated in other battles before being a shipgirl that is loyal to the Fuhrerin.

But she to let it aside for now as she had received orders to initiate the offensive against the Separatist as they lost many troops trying to break the defense that Ironblood made.

This was not a normal offensive. However, instead of strategic gains the Fuhrerin deemed that the time had come and ordered an all-out offensive on all fronts.

With the Separatist Army Lay Broken, they wouldn't stand a chance against Ironblood that had their army modernized.

Tirpitz can only wonder what the Fuhrerin will do with all of her power and the military might she possessed in large and her future plans for a grand new city.

And maybe just solve the issues that have made problems in the diplomatic theater since Ironblood was scorned at by almost everyone, so they need to solve that problem.

But as a Blackhawk helicopter landed nearby, Tirpitz composed herself as she would meet KMS Hood in person.

Walking towards the Heli Pad where the helicopter landed, she saw that the helicopter took off, and as the dust settled, she could finally see the one who calls herself KMS Hood now getting closer to her.

KMS Hood: Are you General Tirpitz?

Tirpitz: Yes......So you're KMS Hood.... huh...

KMS Hood: Don't mention my other counterpart. Unlike her, I'm stronger, to say the least.

Tirpitz: Okay..... So you've come here to support us?

KMS Hood: Of course, the offensive should begin, right?

Tirpitz: Yes, We just need to clean up the road, and then we can begin our offensive.

KMS Hood: Don't worry about cleaning the road. We can drop you anywhere using our helicopter transports.

Tirpitz: But our Armored Vehicles would take a while to make it....

KMS Hood: We have a larger plane for that, so have your troops rested before we move out.

Tirpitz: What about the other fronts?

KMS Hood: They will be pushing as well. All of our Air assets will be deployed to support the offensive.

Tirpitz: I see. Thank you, KMS Hood, for assisting us....

Iris Libre, Paris

In a certain cathedral, a meeting was taking place....

Brest: Your Holiness, We have arrived as you have called for us.

Richelieu: Good... Let's Begin..... as I call you here for our plans of the Crusade, I wish to know how prepared our armies are...

Lyon: Your Holiness, The Inquisition led by Gascogne numbered around 25,000, The Templars led by Dunkerque numbered around 40,000, and finally, the Knights Hospitallers led by Jeanne d'Arc numbered around 100,000 Troops.

Richelieu: Hmm.... How about our tanks? What army are they assigned to?

Brest: They have been attached to the Templars and our Heavy Tanks ARL 44, but....

Richelieu: Hmmm.... is there some kind of problem?

Aquila: The problem  is that it will be hard to maintain those tanks.

Brest: Aquila, have respect for her Holiness!

Richelieu: It's Fine Brest. What will be the solution then Aquila?

Aquila: It's best for medium tanks or light tanks to accompany the heavy tanks, and with proper air cover, we can prevent any air attacks if possible.

Brest: We don't have enough of those tanks, but......

Aquila: You're thinking of involving Ironblood?

Lyon: If possible, I have discussed this with Brest, and we came to a conclusion that if we Ironblood on our side they will be able to counter any of the Royal Navy Forces trying to land on our beaches.

Richelieu: So you want to involve Ironblood on our Crusade.....interesting but with them still in their civil war....

Marco Polo: Your Holiness, may I have a moment of your time.

Richelieu: You may, Marco Polo....

Marco Polo: Your Holiness, The Civil War of Ironblood might come to an end, and they will be ready.

Richelieu: How? The Separatists are backed by Eagle Union.

Marco Polo: I believe that only Dunkerque can explain it to you in full detail your Holiness.

Richelieu: Ah, she was the ambassador before leading the Templars....but if the civil war ends, we might get our hands on those German Surplus weapons.

Brest: But we have to prevent any attempts of Eagle Union and Royal Navy of embargo if necessary.

Lyon: We can also convince Northern Parliament that we would have a larger advantage against Royal Navy.

Aquila: Should we tell Empress Veneto Vittorio about the possibility of an alliance with Ironblood and Northern Parliament?

Richelieu: Yes, I would personally inform President Jean Bart as well and also make sure that nothing happens between our alliance and Ironblood....

Aquila: Yes, your Holiness....

Duchy of Brazil, Brasilia

In the Palace, Duchess Unicorn was having a talk with her old friend....

Unicorn: Ayanami.... It's been quite a while.....

Ayanami: Yeah, a lot has changed, isn't it?

Unicorn: Yes...... about your circumstances.....

Ayanami: No... no... we didn't come to seek refuge here. We are requesting a ship headed to Ironblood.

Unicorn: I believe that's not possible at the moment.

Ayanami: Why?

Unicorn: Ironblood is still in a civil war, and they haven't allowed any ships to dock, so instead, you can go to Iris Libre, Sardegna Empire or the Northern Parliament if you want to enter Ironblood.

Ayanami: That's fine. Can you prepare me a ship heading to Northern Parliament then.

Unicorn: Of course , I will have it ready for your trip.

Ayanami: I'm not going alone this time..... I'm with Akashi this time around.

Unicorn: ....Ayanami, what's your goals exactly. 

Ayanami: Our goals do not concern you, Duchess Unicorn.

Unicorn: You may drop the formalities, but I'm curious, of course.

Ayanami: I believe that it would do no good if I tell you what our plans are...

Unicorn: Okay, fine.... if that's what you want then....would you like to stay here for a while since the ships would take a while to make it here...

Ayanami: That would be great...... we are tired after all.

Unicorn: Ask me for anything, my friend....
