War Intensifies

The Kaiser sat in his office drinking his scotch trying to decide what was to be done. Finally he decided he would allow his military officers to handle the future plans for the war, instead the Kaiser would take on the role to improve the war effort and diplomacy. In fact, the Military would only need to be approved by Casper Braun the current Chief of the Army.

To better improve the war effort, propaganda posters were made showing the Kaiser visiting troops and asking for recruitment in posters.

Military Meeting

The Kaiser and his military officials had been in the meeting room all night with constant arguing about the best course of action should be done. Finally, an ideal plan was set out and reports were sent out the the required units. Meanwhile the navy was informed of their orders. The Kaiser however had to prepare himself and his staff for the war. His father had won the war just 5 years earlier, but times were different then the economy was on track and people adored his father, the same could not be said for him. However he believed that with a swift victory against the Tyrians, he would win the people’s support and anything they acquired would help fix the economy, but the Kaiser went to bed that night with dark and vivid dreams uncertain of the future.

Corporate Expansion


Mikhail sat in his desk as he looked over the paperwork of his business. The head of a small weapons development and production company which normally would be chaotic and always busy due to competition. Being state owned however and without competition the company was slowly making due. His secretary Terry Walsh knocked on the door, Mikhail waved him in. “What is man, I am busy here looking over the accounts.” The Secretary said nothing just handed a slip of paper and walked back out. Mikhail looked confused and hastily opened the letter


Mikhail slowly set down the paper and was shaken. This was something big the company would finally expand and be made useful. The future looked bright.

(Across town, the same order was set out for Nikolai Verkalov of Kamerin Naganta to expand in the same two cities)

A Fancy Paper


The Kaiser sat in a huff with the cabinet in session now with one member absent, the Minister of Commerce and with the deputy still away, the entire ministry is in disaree. “The King of Tyria thinks he can fight us once more. Well I’ll show him, I shan’t even respond and should he bring war, it’s a war he’ll lose. Just like before. Don’t you all agree!” The Kaisers eyes furrowed as he looked around the room, “Of course, we’re in full support your majesty. The Tyrians are clearly in the wrong and if they wish to lose two wars in less than a decade let them.” The Minister of Finance said. “Good, Casper, go call the High Command again. We must prepare in case the tyrians are stupid enough to war.” The Kaiser stood up and walked out in a huff.

Military High Command


The Kaiser entered the room and immediately all of the officers rose and bowed including the ever aging minister of the army Casper Braun who slowly lowered himself to the ground, while the entire room echoed “Your Imperial Highness.” The Kaiser saluted and sat at the far end of the chair “Rise, we have a great many things to discuss if my reports serve me well. If I am the last, then please let us begin.” The officers rose, Casper had be helped by his two adjuncts who flanked him as he seated next to the Kaiser. “General Turven, with our Kaiser arrive begin debriefing us on all the current situation of the army, and then we may discuss some actions that might be taken.” The Minister said.

At that moment the 57 year old Brigadier General Erich Turven stood up, a veteran of the war with the Tyrians he is a well experienced man but being one of the younger men in the room and refusing to play politics he has been forced to remain Brigadier General. He would have remained a colonel had he not distinguished himself in the war and earned the loyalty of many of his subordinates and the love of the people. “Of course Minister, and welcome Kaiser. If you’d like to open up the reports that have been written out. I’d first like to draw attention to some alarming reports. You’ll notice a great deal of our men are without weapons, I would recommend either expanding our current arms industry with haste to supply the men, purchasing some or due to budgetary constraints we inform some of the men to stand down. Secondly, I would like to fully test out our recently produced Machine Guns, and make sure they are in working conditions and should they be, then we reorganize our army to incorporate such weaponry. Thirdly, the infrastructure throughout our entire nation is horrid, but is one of the easiest things to fix, especially should the TEW workout a logomotive design. However, I am not a quartermaster nor industrialist and will leave that to the cabinet or yourself, your highness. Forth, from the reports of Generals Thaddäus Naumann and Christoph Greifelt who are in Cydernia if you recall state the training of the Cydernians is going well, they feel they would be able to do more should they receive funding or if you sent additional resources either in manpower or weaponry. I believe before moving on, you or some of the others may wish to suggest alternative suggestions to my report.” The General stood at the front of the largest table while the men looked at one another, the Kaiser himself had liked the ideas but wanted to see if any of the old guards loyal to the minister had the balls to say anything, almost on cue the Minister turn to the kaiser “My staff and I have looked on these reports and believe that they are acceptable, except for ordering men to stand down, our numbers have always been our greatest strength to stand them down would look weak.” the men around the table nodded “Perhaps, but having men empty handed guarding our borders would look foolish and make us a laughing stock. I’ll think this over but I’ll more then likely request the soldiers without weapons to stand down. Now, what else is there to discuss” The Kaiser returned his eyes on the general, with great care too, before he thought the high command corrupt and ineffective but this general is something else.

“Well Kaiser, I have here the positions and current standing orders for our 3 army groups. To our South West stationed on the Holy Empire of Vigentino’s border we have Army Group Franken, lead by Lieutenant General Volkhardt Herzberg and composed of 226,000 men. To the far west on the border of the Confederation of Hokkan-Shirito we have Army Group Brezler, under the command of Major General Venderzon Jusev, with 280,000 men under his command. Then Brigadier General Yultiin Illyosen commands Army Group Reselven which is to the South East on the Border of the Tyrian Empire with 140,000 men under his command. Finally Army Group Wesleven, under Major General Zurosev Fregrelen is on the border of the Marnish Kingdom to the North East with 136,000 men under his command. All 4 army groups have men without weapons and none of the armies have standing orders.” The Kaisers eyes furrowed angry and confused “Why do they have no orders?” He looked to the minister who refused to acknowledge the Kaiser either out of fear or lack of caring since he had already become invested in a conspiracy that was ever growing. “That I am unsure of, but orders can be drawn up quickly, I believe war games, training or stand border patrols would work.” The Kaiser nodded “Is there anything else we need to discuss the?” The Kaiser looked around the generals and adjuncts were shaking their heads and closing the reports, before the General coughed “If I may, your highness, I would like to propose some, radical changes if I may speak freely.” The General stood there atease.

“General thank you that will be -” The minister was cut off by the Kaiser “Please General, by all means I did request this meeting to hear things of that nature.” Erich smiled “Thank you, your highness. Well, there are three major things I’d like to suggest. First, the opening of Military Academies, for you see as it stands we rely a lot on nobles who while maybe educated are perhaps not the most sound in leadership for one reason or another, that’s why I’d further suggest these academies be open to all classes. Secondly, I would recommend we begin to cut back on conscription and conscripts in general, while our numbers often are one of our greatest strengths and untrained man can be susceptible to a number of things, if we opening military training camps to have a trained for our numbers would be one of many strengths. Finally, this being perhaps the most radical currently, all military officials here and throughout the empire are of some royal background which is a noble thing. However, men who were born to lower classes have served under me have been as good as if not better then officers who were nobles. That is why I believe, in future rank should be based on experience and ability over that of nobility, influence or money.” The General then stood as many of the men in the room their eyes narrowed liked daggers many here would be what you call old guards, the kaiser himself took a long deep breathe and began to slowly nodded “General, I believe all of these are of sound judgement, especially from reports that have been sent in by the Julia-Vigentino war, we should even learn from our own war against the Tyrians. Though make it Helroxi officers only and get the documents written up I will then overlook them and authorize them should they look accordingly.” The Kaiser said as he stood up, “Minister Promote him to Major General, he clearly knows his information. Now I must go speak with some corporate heads and meet with some candidates for the Minister of Commerce. Excuse me.” With that the kaiser rose along with everyone else, the officers saluted him as he left.

Diplomacy


The Kaiser sat in his desk chair with a fine Helroxi Wine as he read over the Diplomatic agreements that were to be sent out at once. The first on his desk was Addressed to King Simon Itonzo of the Kingdom of Melgaria



After the kaiser signed it he shifted it to the side and looked at the letter addressed to the Kingdom of Cydernia



The next treaty on his desk was to the Holy Empire of Vigentino at first he was confused and taken a back however after he began looking at the paper he began to chuckle



With all papers signed and approved the kaiser called over his aides and had them sent out.


Is the telegram invented in this world?

Secret Meeting in the Night

Alwin Gessner the minister of commerce stepped out of his carriage as he looked up at the large manor of Minister Yannick Dehne, the minister of Foreign Affairs. He turned back to his driver “Go tie it up with the others, I’m not sure how long I’ll be but be ready my wife will kill me if I’m home to late.” He turned back to the manor and walked towards it, he had received a dinner invitation, stating all of the ministers would be in attendance so that they may discuss the empire in peace and as friends. He knocked on the door and a servant had lead him to the dining hall which he could hear as soon as he stepped in, he apparently was the last to arrive. But was welcomed all the same.

“Alwin, welcome we were begining to think you weren’t going to show.” Minister of the Army Casper Braun said with a grin. Alwin walked toward the empty seat next to the head of the Table Minister Dehne as a servant poured him a glass of wine. “Now, that your here we can finally begin the feast, Rogers begin serving my guests and me.” Dehne said in a commanding tone before returning to his conversation with minister of Justice Tim Fleischmann. Meanwhile Alwin turned towards Casper who seemed half asleep seeing as how he was 77 years old many wonder why he stays around, but apparently the army is very loyal to him and he holds great esteem if not great care like he once had. “Casper, do you know why we’re here exactly or what we’re gonna be doing here? Besides where is the kaiser?” Before Casper could get a word in Yannick turned “All will be explained after dinner one shouldn’t eat and speak politics at the same time.” Yannick chuckled as did the rest of the table even Alwin all be it suspicious of what was to be discussed.

The food was served in 3 courses, first a light warm chicken soup, followed by the main course of Roasted moose with mashed potatoes and vegetables of the guests choice. Finally the desert served was a sweet chocolate cake, but only Alwin,Yannick,Tillman and Torsten ate that, the rest were full and just continued to drink.

After the dinner Yannick lead the men to his large study and more refreshments were brought over. “Now, gentlemen with dinner finished and hopefully you’re all satisfied,- He said with a snickering smile - I would like to say having served with all of you has been wonderful. I remember when I was brought on under Kaiser Henlick Von Steeb, Jakob’s father and how honored I was. But at the time I didn’t realize the power we controlled, Henlick loved the limelight throwing balls and left the running of the country to us. Yet, since his passing - everyone took a sip of their win in remembrance - Jakob has attempted to strip this power away from us. I for one will not have it, I believe his son Jok who’s 14 now and we could install and rule for at least another 4 more years, showing him how to lead - he winked - And then we have control again .Now what say you?” The men each looked to each other and thought, Minister of Security Tillman Noffke was the first to stand up, Alwin assumed to call him a traitor instead clapped and walked over to shake his hand. The rest of the men agreed casper banged his cane in agreement. “Excuse me gentlemen, we can’t just kill our kaiser. We have been afforded this opportunity to reign by him and his father before him. I am absolutely ashamed at all of you, if we weren’t friends I would report you to the Kaiser himself.” Alwin stood up “I never want to hear this again.” Yannick nodded “Well, if we aren’t all in agreement then there we have it, here a toast to the new kaiser” Yannick turned behind him and grabbed an unopened bottle of wine poured himself and Alwin another glass and handed it to him “To Kaiser Jakob eyy Alwin?” Alwin nodded and took a drink, along with Yannick and the rest of the men who were confused but accepted it nonetheless. Yannick quickly grabbed a small bottle out of his pocket and swallowed it “My medicine I nearly forgot it, damned old age.” “Here, Here” Casper shouted. The men continued chatting for the night, until Alwin collapsed and started spasming as if he was having a stroke, that was until Yannick walked over “To the Kaiser, you poor fool.” The men all were aware and in agreement, they would begin laying out plans to regain control.

The Kaiser’s Lunch


The Kaiser sat in his large study looking over reports when a servant knocked on the door, the kaiser shouted a come in, a servant dressed in royal maroon clothes bowed and said “Your Imperial Highness, Grand Duke Realsiv Troves and Baron Jakob Rudist are here and waiting for you in private dining room” The Kaiser smiled and stood up “Excellent, bring us some refreshments, Red wine and the Baron loves Taran scotch.” The servant nodded and walked back to grab the drinks. The Kaiser walked to the large door and stepped out of his study and the walked towards the private dining room, his feet clapped against the marble floor and pictures of his forefathers moved passed him as he walked.

Servants opened the door and the two men stopped speaking immediately stood up and bowed, speaking in unison “You Imperial Highness, we are honored by your call.” The Kaiser chuckled and said “Your honor be damned, stand up and come here.” He gave them both big hugs and then sat down, noticing the drinks were already there and poured himself a glass of wine. “How high we’ve risen, since our days at the Royal Helroxi Imperial Academy. As much as I would like to reminisce of the past though, you were both called for something important.”The Kaiser said. “I think I speak for both of us when I say, as our Friend and Kaiser we’ll do whatever must be done to serve.” Grand Duke Realsiv said. The kaiser chuckled “Good, you see, the Toubres Empire has been having problems with rebels and as little as I care about them, we were invited alongside, the Tyrians and Parakan Republic. This could be huge for us, the damned Taran’s were snubbed and the Republic will have little care about some backwards natives, that means we and the Tyrians will be able to use our influence to further our imperialist nature and attain more resources. I request you both because of your loyalty, friendship and if this works the coastlines will become major hubs both in the east and west.” The two men nodded and stood up with a salute, and again in unison “We’re ready to serve, Your Imperial Highness.” Baron Jakob finished by asking “Who exactly will we be working with and when do we leave?” The three men began to discuss the team and plans.

Cabinet meeting


The old men all laughed as they sat around the table drinking their wine and eating their cheese. “I must admit, this reminds me of the time under his father. He would never come to meetings too busy having fun being loved by his people. But we must talk about what is going to happen in the east. The kaiser is going to allow the cadian’s access however I imagine for free to cease the holy empire increasing in strength. But I say what if we send orders demanding payment for the access.” Minister Braun said. The men laughed and nodded then took a moment and thought about if they could do it. However before they could continue the Kaiser entered and slammed his fist on the ground “The damned Holy Empire and City state seem to be at it and we’re right on the corner of history gentlemen. Inform the Melgarian King to allow the Cadian’s access through their country, this shall serve as a message no minor nation shall be allowed to be harassed by a larger one.” The kaiser said “Send that immediately and now let us begin discussing real work like a better set of weapons.
