Battle

War its Battles, take a toll on both sides of the field.
Loss of life, crops destruction of Homes and Cities.
Sarna is defending her Land People Homes. The Republic its own beliefs that they should rule the Land, as the Chosen. This part shall open with Owens point of view on this. First The Republic seems more Advanced. The ships are getting old harder to upkeep. The Food Chain as the normal
class are called.

Are loosing Faith in the Chosen.
How deeply this goes isn't known. This very well
could be the chink in the armour so to speak.

The Thirteen Lands, aren't even United, will this hinder a win? So many questions. Sarna's plan is
Bold, it could go terribly wrong from the jump. One
true advantage is The Republic won't know what prong to attack first. Well enough of my thoughts
I hope all will continue on with me. So let the Battle
Begin.

                      Eight Hours And Counting

Owens waited for Taft one last meeting before it started. They chose Richmond Hill, easy enough for both to get to and from it. Owens didn't like waiting especially alone, never know who might
stumble on him. This is more or less no mans land.
The small gap between lines. Taft wouldn't be alone the new leader of the underground would be with him. Owens stood thinking its about time,
Taft good to see you. Owens the same, this is Martin we've been giving The Republic hell past few weeks. Owens shook his hand, well just about
that time about eight hours, it all starts better or worse it starts. What do you have planned? So I can pass it on during the attack.

Taft said I'll speak first. Our plan is to try and take out the Assembly least the top three, President, Vice President and Defence Minister. That would leave the top twelve in shambles. They would have to get the twelves approval for new Leaders. Owens shook his head, even in War to get those two groups of twelve to agree, never happen least
not real fast. So they haven't moved aboard ship?

They've been meeting aboard ship Owens your old
Ship. Not moved back on board no. Once this starts they'll make a mad dash to get out of here. That's when we'll go for them. What we don't get, Owens try for her sink that ship. The Republic will be hard pressed to keep going with out leadership.
The Food Chain would rise up at that point.

Owens nodded she is on the list to go after. Would
be nice for to end in one swift chess move. Doubt full, we are going for it. Martin your plan Sir?
First I want to know something Food Chain Chosen
what is the Difference? Taft looked at Owen you tell him. I've no right I was part of the Original ones, least my Family was. I'll keep it short not a lot of time. Well Fifty thousand from each state what you call lands. Were Chose at the time fifty states made up America. The ones Chosen were the best to be found. Farmers, Doctors, Scientists.
People in Technology fields necessary to survive.
All the National Government elected officials.

Then you had twenty thousand from the ordinary
people taken from each state. They would be the Labor force. Plus a few Army and Navy plus Air Force. Animals, seed a true chance at saving humanity. The second group some how became the Food Chain unequal to the first class. Some how they became the true Chosen better than all.
In a nut shell Martin they think every one is below them. Martin shook his head, we best end this don't like being below any one. Our plan is to take out twelve cannon near Georgetown. Plus a few will be slowing down troop movements all over Savannah proper and outside town. Think that should help. Owen smiled think we have a good plan of action. Taft just make sure when Savannah falls your people are in hiding where Martin sends you. Don't want real help shot.

Taft smiled we'll make damn sure of that, we best get back good luck Owens. Luck to you both, see you after its over. Owens waved when they looked
back. Then headed back to Meyer and the men.

                            Army Of Bama

Walson looked at his map, we've been hammering Savannah for two weeks now from the West. Generals we are ready tonight we start our move.
I want Savannah in two weeks no more! We start in less than seven hours, get to your commands move to the start points good luck. I've no time for questions lets do this dismissed. As they left a few grumbles then they saluted. Walson tapped the map, I just hope that tactic on the west helps the move north. By midday the western front should be within fighting distance. I hope Stanson and his Navy do some damage, we can't let them get away.
After I'll move up the coast cutting them off, no way to escape. I've got time to rest before least four hours to rest. Less than seven hours now.

                     Three Hours And Counting
                                 The Cow pens

Sarna paced every one when we start this and split

take time for one of us to turn around. I hope York does its part. We must drive hard Father Jena best head to your commands, Louse you have the lead,

Jacob hugged her. Daughter take care shook every ones hand see you all later. Jena did the same I'll be down the coast less than a month or die trying.
Till we meet next, bye your leave. Has any one seen Liza? Lana said no she'll be here she is with the signal Corp getting the signal info. Sarna smiled I've forgotten bye Father I love you, Jena I'll
see you later. They both waved as they rode off.

Louse Garret you sure on the choice for the pens
Commander? Louse smiled Sarna no worries I trust him with my life. He'll not let the pens go with out a fight. Garret nodded that man I'd give him my ship to command if I couldn't command it.

Sarna laughed, I'm just checking put a lot of work into that place. Best make the last checks and prepare to head out.

Walson looked over at Burns its started our cannon are firing! They should move up closer by our jump off time. Lets hope our forward group has secured the three bridges and the ferry to cross those rivers. Burns nodded yes Sir Stanson dropped a few off for that plus half of Meyer and Owens group will get one of the bridges. Sir I'll
go on up take charge of the Corp I'll see you soon
as we make contact with the enemy. Yes Burns I'll
move up at that point drive us forward and to Savannah! Burns get us Savannah!

Owens you get that Bridge at Fords Plantation. Don't let it go or be blown. Meyer I'll not loose that Bridge you make sure you sink as many Ships as you can. Good luck Meyer. Owens good luck to you
