January, AC 203

Dreiländereck Aachen, 0200 hours local time

The roaring sounds of faraway explosions vaguely blared in his ears. Heero Yuy glared at his wrist-watch, the blinking neo-green informed him it was already late – almost morning. He had instructed to one of his men on watch duty, Corporal Lance Wilde, to take a turn on the rear border. Shifting his SA80 slightly, Heero cast his look to the further scenery ahead, scanning the perimeter with sharp, calculating eyes.

"Hey, buddy! What the hell is a general doing out here?" Duo Maxwell's cheerful voice greeted from his back, and he felt a gentle pat on his shoulder. Heero ignored the question, and walked forward to the small post a few metres ahead. Two other men were there, with coffee as their company on the chilly night.

"Do you copy which area was it?" Heero prompted the question coldly to the men. "Did you confirm what it was?"

"Possibly area G4, sir," one of the men saluted upon seeing Heero, followed by his colleague. "We are positive it was artillery."

More explosions assaulted their hearings; this time was much closer. Heero could feel the ground beneath his feet shook mildly. "Hn. Now explosives. Barrack, call in for my personal men. We're going to inspect it. Notice to all security posts and the whole unit to be ready for attacks. I want every single man to have their vests – shall I catch otherwise, be sure that punishment will come their way. Maxwell, you take the right wing."

"Aww, man," Duo whined. "I ain't get the fun parts? It's not fair!"

Heero ignored the braided man again and reached for a small paper on the wooden desk and wrote something quickly. He turned to the other soldier and ordered quickly, "Lloyd, send this to Commander Une and Lieutenant Chang in my private line. Only, only to them. Repeat that."

"Send only, and only to Commander Une and Lieutenant Chang," Lloyd recited dutifully.

Heero nodded curtly and squinted backwards as footsteps approaching them. "We're here. Let's go."

They vanished into the woods, leaving trails of a thin mist of their cold breath in their wake.

Another war.

From what Heero had learned, the Dreiländereck – also known as Three Country Border – was a neutral territory that connected three countries since centuries ago. The point where the countries meet was located in the Dutch province of Limburg, in a small city called Vaals. This was why the hill you have to climb to enjoy these meetings of the border was called Vaalserberg and it's the highest point in mainland Netherlands. This Three-Country Point, known in German as Dreiländerpunkt, used to be a four-country border between 1830 and 1919. This happened because Neutral Moresnet used to exist in them as well. Neutral Moresnet was a small Condominium between what used to be the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of came to be after the fall of Napoleon, when the Congress of Vienna was redrawing the map of Europe; this where some problems started to appear. On the area that was later called Neutral Moresnet, a zinc mine used to exist and none of the two kingdoms wanted to give up control over it. This lasted until after the First World War when the territory was annexed by Belgium.
