A week has passed since the successful operation in Os. After the infantry and armored divisions landed on the shores of the city, they initiated an operation targeting the capital city of Norge, Osfjord.
The Legadonia Entente Alliance is composed of three countries.
Vinland (Finland) who occupies the eastern region of the alliance, near the Russy Federation. They abstained from joining the war against the Empire, anticipating a certain defeat.
Sweoland (Sweden) who holds the central part of the alliance.
Norge (Norway) who controls the westernmost region of the alliance.
The city of Os, the site of the amphibious landing, is located in Norge. Its capital city, Osfjord, is the focus of the new operation. Osfjord, situated in what is today known as Oslo, Norway's real capital, also houses the government of the Legadonia Entente Alliance.
The Great German Empire aims to cripple the central government of the entire alliance, facilitating the conquest of the remaining territories. Following their landing in Os, the Empire's infantry and armored divisions leveraged the extensive network of train tracks surrounding the city. This strategic use of railways significantly enhanced their maneuverability.
Utilizing these train tracks, the Empire's forces executed flanking maneuvers, appearing unexpectedly behind Alliance lines. Their superior mobility and fierce combat tactics led to the rapid fall of numerous towns and cities.
In response, the government and military leaders of the alliance have barricaded themselves within Osfjord, preparing for the Empire's inevitable assault. However, they knew that all of this was all for naught.
They knew that the Empire would lead their forces and compel them to surrender, and inevitably, it happened. The Empire sent an ultimatum demanding the Alliance's unconditional surrender.
Despite the dire situation, the leaders of the Alliance were resolute. They understood the consequences of yielding their lands to the ruthless Empire. Surrendering was out of the question; they could not bear the thought of relinquishing their power towards their enemies who they once thought of as weak.
Their steadfastness was as much a product of pride as it was of principle. This stubborn pride clouded their judgment, preventing them from considering alternative strategies that might save their people and preserve some semblance of autonomy.
The leaders of the Alliance were entrenched in their beliefs, refusing to acknowledge the full extent of the Empire's overwhelming power and the futility of prolonged resistance.
The atmosphere within the fortified walls of Osfjord was tense. As the Empire's forces drew closer, the Alliance's leaders debated their next moves. Some suggested seeking aid from distant allies, while others proposed guerrilla tactics to harass and slow the Empire's advance.
Yet, every suggestion was met with the same obstinate resistance, rooted in a refusal to abandon their pride, even in the face of annihilation.
One politician with the name of Abensoll, the Foreign Affairs Councilor of the Alliance, suggested having a government in Exile.
This suggestion caught the attention of the Alliance Council. They recognized the necessity of establishing a government in exile to maintain their national identity. Their useless pride fixated on the symbolic importance of a government as the embodiment of the country, but they overlooked one crucial truth: it is the citizens who truly constitute the nation.
The citizens of Osfjord, unaware of the internal turmoil among their leaders, prepared for the worst. Families stockpiled supplies, and those who could, fortified their homes. The once bustling capital had become a city on edge, bracing for the inevitable clash with the invincible Empire.
