[h2]Iceland Jötunn Global Headquarter "Wolfsbau" 3:45 PM, June 15, 2049[/h2] Roland Korngold took a deep sip from his cup, before he picked up the Data-pad, Asmund Anders had placed there a mere moment ago. "The results of the election in Stuttgart, Roland. 74 Percent have voted for an annexation within this year, quite a good result, i might ad!" The CEO kept his eyes focused on the pad, while taking another deep sip. "But it shouldn't surprise you, Roland, should it? All who were truely against it are now on their way to Greenland Work Camps. Well, to the victor the spoils, aye?" There was a slight note of disapproval in the tone of his voice. The CEO slowly placed his cup on the table, before letting out a long sigh. "Asmund, i know that you dont always approve of my actions, and the last thing i want is to rekindle a second Euro-War, but we have little choice in that matter." Rolands fingers danced over the pad, while opening new statistics. "We can only fill two thirds of all open White-collar jobs outside of Europa! The Falkland Islands are basically manned by handful of engineers. We need that manpower of southern Germany, we need the universities of Heidelberg and Munich, and by god, we need it fast! If that means that we have to round up a few Swabians Bolsheviks, then so be it!" His fingers moved from the pad back onto the Mahogany desk where they tipped quickly. "During the Euro-War we missed out the chance to wipe out the German Federation. Today we pay for this mistake tenfold!" Asmund opened the hologram quite quickly. "Munich and Nuremberg have joined a coalition against any expansion from our side. They have the whole remaining power of the German Federation in their back! As well as..." With a quick movment of his fingers, a video was opened, showing a satire program from the "Free Channel Bavaria". "NEIN NEIN NEIN! GERMANIA WILL BE ALL MINE!" The actor had been clearly dressed up as Roland Korngold, but his famous mustache had been replaced with a clear nod to Adolf Hitler. Jumping around like a unbehaving child, he screamed and smashed his fist against a map of Germany, over and over again. "BRINGEN SIE MIR SOUTHERN GERMANY! NOW! ONE REICH! ONE PEOPLE! MINE!" Pictures of Stuttgart were shown, how people were pushed out of their homes, and how tanks rolled over the streets. Then a voice came out of the off. "People of the Free Germany! Once more a Psychopath tries to get hold of our homeland!" A cut followed, placing a recording of Hitler next to a speech of Korngold. "But not this time, Korngold! Bavaria will not fall! [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw41xmYwD1A]Liberty of death! Join the Freikorps now!".[/url] Korngolds face betrayed not a single emotion, as Asmund continued. "They send similar ads in Nuremberg, Ulm, and the whole of the Federation as well! They also get quite generouse donations in arms, food and money from a unknown source! We cant say it for sure, but a good bet would be that a major cooperation has its finger, if not the whole hand in this." Korngolds hand had taken hold of the cup, but then he let go of it, and slowly got up his chair. His both dogs followed him around, as he wandered in his office, towards the large windo, that took one whole side of the room. Looking out, his hand wandered on the glass, as he took a deep breath. "Asmund! See that we find out who is supporting this! At the same time, send Falkenhayn new orders! I want W-Wsec to take position at the borders, but not a single step more! At the same time, i want that the "Brandenburger" Commandos, are transferred from Indonesia, back home! They are of more use in Munich and Nurnberg." Asmund had already his hand on his Data-pad, before he looked up once more. "There is one last point for Today, Roland! GAZPROM slowly, but steady becomes to much of an Issue to further ignore! It seems like Jötunn isnt the only Cooperation interested in further expansions!" Korngold slowly turned back around, before moving over to the Massive bar that stood in his office. A little known fact was that it had a secondary use as a covering in case of an assassination attempt, and behind the fine wood, was half a meter of thick, solid steel. Filling a glass with cognac, opened another Hologram. "So they want the Balkans now? That is Carolus Holdings Backyard, as well as ours!" Taking a short sip from the Glass, Korngold, turned back to his assistant, before looking into the light brown inside his glass. "But more important, it is the key to the Danube!" With a quick movment of his hand, he opened a map, before pointing at the River. "Not that we had much intrest in that River! Our heavy industry is on the coast of the Atlantic ocean, but if GAZPROM holds it, they can easily get a grip on our balls....new order for the Brandenburger Commandos! The Wolf Battalion is to be brought back to central Germany, Commando Fenris shall make its way to the Balkans, and make connections to local governments and Milita! No direct attacks on any forces from GAZPROM, they watch for now, nothing more." Asmund nodded, before closing the windows on his Pad. "Is that all, Roland?" The CEO nodded, his eyes still on the glass in his hand. Turning around, the Assistant was halted as Korngolds voice once more was raised. "Wilhelm's third Birthday is in two weeks! Make preparations to have him and Lisbeth flew in! I missed his second birthday due to the Coal Bubble crisis...that wont happen again!" Asmund coudnt hide his smile, as he pulled out the pad, to make arrangments for a flight to Iceland. "I shall see it done, Roland!"
