Country Stories presents: Chaos (LEGACY)

Fragmentation

Czechia and Slovakia were in a corner of the train station in Vienna, trying not to be seen by the public, Czechia was about to leave for Paris to do something very important and Slovakia wanted to send her off in the proper way

Slovakia: Česko...Are you really going to be okay? What you want to do is something very risky, not only because of what could happen if we fail. What would happen if we get caught as well?

Czechia: Take it easy, I promise you that I planned everything to perfection, everything will be fine

Slovakia: But-

Czechia: —She approached her and calmed her with a kiss on the forehead—Calm down, everything will be fine, trust me...now I have to take the train

Slovakia: Good luck! ...Taliansko, you were tasked with ending the Empire...please don't fail...

Italy's reputation had not been the best during the Great War, after all, fighting 12 battles in one place was not something you would like to put on your resume, much less losing half of them, and of course, the humiliation of Caporetto was something difficult to forget, in addition to decades and even centuries of mistreatment and mockery by Austria towards who was once just a small territory known as Lombardy were the perfect fuel for Italy to be ready to fight a final dispute against Austria-Hungary.

The encounter happened on October 23, 1918, once again in the mountain range of the Alps , Italy arrived at the place with a face full of determination, that day, he was going to take revenge for all the mistreatment and to show that he was a true nation. On the other side of the mountains, Austria-Hungary, who were clearly already struggling to stand, arrived at the place with an annoyed expression, which nevertheless denoted that by this point even existing hurt them.

AusHun: You must be enjoying this moment like never before

Italy: I know I was taught that laughing at other people's pain is rude, but lying is also rude, so yes, I am very happy to see you this way

AusHun  We don't need to be fine to beat you, you are totally pathetic

Italy: You better watch your words, I won't hold back today

AusHun: You have said that many times and in all of them you have failed! Why do you think it will be different now?

Italy: Because today I have in mind every horrible thing you have made me suffer through, today I am going to get my revenge for everything you have put me through

AusHun: So you want to play hero, huh? This will be interesting

Italy: See you tomorrow

With a mocking look, Austria-Hungary accepted the dangerous challenge and disappeared into the fog and rain that had been present in the place for days, Italy did the same and disappeared in the opposite direction. In the hours that followed, Italy went to a tent, well hidden behind the lines, it was one of the many makeshift phone booths set up throughout the war, the place was empty, and it was a good thing, since Italy was waiting for a call that was very important at that time. After waiting there for a few minutes, the phone finally rang and he answered immediately.

Italy: Hello?

France: Italie, tomorrow will be a great day for you, right?

Italy: It will be

France: I want you to know that no matter what Autriche has said, you have been a nation to me from the first moment, and I trust that you will do this well

Italy: Francia...thank you...

France: Also, I have a couple of people who want to cheer you up here here as well. Say hello!
