[center][h1]1960, Duchy of West-Afrika[/h1][/center]

While the crisis was happening the Kingdom of Spain. Another region, was unintentionally affected by the situation as well - namely it was the rare case, when all the pieces of an unforeseen chess-board aligned in the perfect way to cause maximum chaos.

Such was the situation in the Duchy of West-Afrika - when news reached their ears of the situation in Spain. Namely of a coup against the King - with almost no word of what had happened to Duke or his son. In the current situation, with several members of the higher leadership on a training course in Algeria. The only person whom was close enough to contact was Amadou Bankole von Douala.

Namely [i]Oberstleutant[/i] of the Afrikan Corps - whom was in Congo and was one of the few people in the chain of command, high enough to have any kind of authority behind his name and whom was able to be contacted through the phone.

Needless to say, he didn't like the situation any more than any white man might have in his position. They had no way of confirming whether or not they had any higher leadership left. Namely through his decades of rulership Duke Hurst had been smart enough to not allow anything to rise-up to challenge him for the position - it was a tactic that many other post-Great War monarchies had utilized to maintain their grip on power. Although in the case of the Duke, he had used a mix of political intrigue, good publicity and a white-class that was reliant on him remaining in power. That however lead to a familiar situation that happened when a monarchy lost or had no way on confirming if they still had their head-of-state. 

As far as the higher echelon in Duchy knew - they had no monarch left and an army that was in essence currently leaderless. While there was the notion of being part of the German Empire - it hadn't been barely a month even, thus they had none of the political machinery in place to catch up to such a situation. Plus, nobody could have expected Spain - the only European power to escape the Great War and emerge stronger than before, to fall to such a situation.

Thus with nothing to do and nobody higher to confirm his orders - [i]Oberstleutant[/i] Bankole gave the order, to mobilize the Army and to also get the closest man, that held a high enough political office up to speed on the situation. That man would end up being, Nhara Nereal - whom was the official Head of the Treasury. In essence, the situation was both bad...and an opportunity that none but Nhara Nereal might see - that was developing in the Duchy.
