Servant: Mr. President, someone wishes to speak with you, they were recommended to you by your wife.
Gorbav: where is he?
Servant: Your cabin.
Gorbav: *To generals* Continue. *Leaves and heads to his cabin*
Gorbav: Hello.
???: Hello there.
Gorbav: You know who I am right, but who are you?
???: Ah yes, your Gorbav, my name is Oswald. Oswald G Mosely, I am a junker (Pronounced Younker)
Gorbav: Excuse me, what?
Oswald: Junker.
Gorbav: Why would you support me?
Oswald: Because I believe in what is right, well to be exact I am a former Junker.
Gorbav: How so?
Oswald: My father Graff Mon Mosley, had 4 children, and an estate of 100 hectares he divided between us 4, the youngest of us however soon died, and his land was split amongst the remaining 3. I sold my land to my 2 sisters, and then invested it in the Kongo Corporation, pulling out just before that went belly up.
Gorbav: Interesting, but that does not answer my question.
Oswald: I saw the suffering my workers endured under my father, and I saw the suffering that the Kongo did to the miners, and I want to set the record straight, I have 140 million Leon £ and I want to set the record straight.
Gorbav: Oh wow, your really rich… well I guess we could use all the help we can get.
Gorring: *Wakes up* *Scratching his head* What happened?
Servant: Sir, you blacked out, after a mental breakdown.
Gorring: *Stands up, whilst shaking* Uh, I don’t feel great… Lets see, what happened whilst I was away, 47 missed calls, from Khan, Servant!
Servant: Yes sir?
Gorring: Why did you not wake me up earlier, and… and why are we flying over the great desert, also there are only 4 gunships near me, there was 8 before!
Servant: Re fuelling, new ships should arrive soon.
Gorring: And why are we over the desert?
Servant: You didn’t specify the pilots.
Gorring: Let me speak with them. *Heads to the control room* Pilots!
*Both pilots are missing*
Gorring: What the?
Servant: *Opens the door of the sentry to the outside*
Gorring: What are you doing?
Servant: *Smiles* The right thing! *Jumps out of the sentry with a parachute*
Gorring: *Notices a gunship pull up to him from the back* Oh no.
*A black fully clothed figure jumps out of the gunship, into the sentry and closes the cargo door*
Goliath: Gorring, are you prepared, to meet your doom?
Gorring: Not really, *Takes a bayonet*
Goliath: *Rushes into Gorring*
Gorring: *Dodges*
Goliath: *Jumps and with her legs knocks Gorring to the ground* Prepare to meet the faith of General Sato!!!
Gorring: *Knocks off her helmet with the bayonet* *He stares in shock*
Goliath: *Stares back, paralyzed with fear*
Gorring: *Knocks her off of him* How could you-
Goliath: I have the same question!
Gorring: You betrayed me, your own father- I raised you with proper royalist values, and you- sided with that mad man Gorbav!
Goliath; Why cant you see the truth, like how Krell, and Getain saw the hopelessness,
Gorring: They knew nothing!
Goliath: Do you though?
Gorring: Yes, yes I do!
Goliath: Well, then you will die with those ideas! *She leaps on to Gorring*
Gorring: *Spins round and throws her off*
Golaith: *Holds on to the edge of the cargo door*
Gorring: *In fear* *Rushes up to her* Hold my hand!
Golaith: *Looks at him with tears in her eyes* I die for the republic! *She lets go of the cargo door, and disappears in the great desert.
*Che Gurrira continues working on his special plan*
Gorbav: *To one of his guards* How are you, dude?
Guard: Great as always sir!
Gorbav: Man, tell me how you really are feeling.
Guard: Well, honestly, sir, really really tired, the shelling never stops, and the gunships buzz us all day and night, also one of my friends said morale for the siege is plummeting like a rock, theres no place for us to relax, I mean, Im lucky, you, I and the high command sleep in bunkers, so we don’t hear much, but the men out there, they are suffering through a lot.
Gorbav: Hmm… I will see what I can do about that *Leaves*
*He arrives later at the war tent*
*They discuss war plans with Ghana*
Gorbav: You know, soldiers have been complaining about low morale
Ghana: Really, how so? They seem extatic when I inspect.
Gorbav: It’s a façade. They are really demoralised and the last thing we need are strike in the armed forces.
Ghana: Well, what do you propose?
Gorbav: I propose a settlement out west, near the river but not too close to it, where we could send off a large portion of the army, every day, to get some rest, I would say 2-days rest for every 5 days, the complex would be hidden under the cover of trees and would be about 22 kilometres (13 miles) west of the most western point of the siege.
Ghana: I see 2 problems with this: This will really thin out our reserves, and it will be hard to fund all of this, maybe even impossible to fund this.
Gorbav: *Decides to call his wife, so she could get the preparations*
Gali: Hello?
Gorbav: Hey, so how is running a tribe like?
Gali: Honestly, this is worse than war, this is so so boring how do you pull this off? I have a legion of bureaucrats working for me, and a school of mathematicians and this is still a nightmare, cant wait till you return!
Gorbav: Sounds great, so I had this idea *Describes the plan like he described it to Ghana*
Gali: *Blank eyed* What?
Gorbav: Yeah, that’s the idea, we need to rotate the soldiers, if we want this siege to continue
Gali: Hubby, this siege fun of yours is really draining us dry, unless you have some crazy idea, to resolve our financial struggles.
Gorbav: Mosley!
Gali: What?
Gorbav: Mosley, the financial guru, tell him about this and have him fund this, he is well respected he could get us a loan too.
Gali: A loan from where? Even the eagles are very careful loaning to us
Gorbav: Theres this big lion bank, its called Lehman brothers, I hear they are republicans, and are willing to take big risks, no way they’ll go broke.
Gali: *Breathes out* So what exactly do you need for this?
Gorbav: A bunch of sleeping quarters, anything for entertainment, 4 dozen more trucks, 2 medium ships with anti-aircraft and oh, yeah and 1500 more troops, with supplies, rations and all.
Gali: You cant be serious that’s an extra 50% more men plus the complex and stuff, this is some dumb joke right.
Gorbav: Nope, totally real, anyways you said you wanted to be a leader so enjoy solving this.
Gali: *Rage and anger towards Gorbav pours over the phone*
Narrator: Mosley was able to get a 330 million Leon £ loan from Lehman Brothers, and with his extra funding of 40 million Leon £ the rotation system would begin, and morally would rapidly increase, however this new loan could only sustain the siege for another 2 weeks, they needed to show massive progress if they were to get more funding for the war.
The rhinos have continued with their airlift of supplies into the monarchist capital, however due to the people of the gorilla HQ not having the luxury, of moving out by 22 kilometres and had to endure the non-stop buzzing of gunships and dropships.
Gorring – for the military genius he was, made some real bad calls, for the defence of the Gorilla HQ.
50% of the airforce had to be in the air at all times, this left the air force in disrepair, and the pilots exhausted, accidents were common, scraps of burning gunships would litter the city, it also led to a lot of noise pollution, which made many people sleepless and very annoyed. The airforce was also non-stop sent to try and break the siege 24/7, this was a huge failure, as such an offensive to break through the siege lines is impossible without ground support, and it led to the republicans basically perfecting anti-aircraft technology.
Che Gurria: Today my people! We shall destroy the enemy’s air force, after today they shall no longer control the air force, they will not buzz us like they have for weeks, they will crumble and they will fall, for today, the revolution will prevail, and our enemy, the enemy of the people, the elitists, the ones who think they know what is right and what is wrong, but truth be told know neither or the other, they will fall as their wings of terror burn to ash!
*The crowd cheers him on*
*Che Gurrira leaves the hangar, and heads to a local small church, about 500 metres away (about a third of a mile) although he is an atheist, he prays, prays for all that is good, and then he heads out*
*Monarchist hangar*
Gorring: *Heads up on to the Sentry-1* Those cowards, those spineless cowards, the republic along with its values falls today*
*He gets on to the sentry-1, and take off accompanied by 24 gunships*
*9:00 Airspace of Gorilla HQ*
*A massive swarm of republican gunships and fighters approach the Sentry-1 and its supporting gunships*
*Aboard the sentry-1*
Pilot: Sir, it appears the republicans are trying to knock us out of the air,.
Gorring: Shoot them Down!
Pilot: uhh… it appears they are trying a boarding manouver on to the sentry.
Gorring: The audacity! Now, im curious.
Pilot 7: We are about to knock out the boarding party… What the.. *his gunship blows out of the air*
Gorring: *Turns around and faces the door of the sentry* *Smiles* *Opens the door*
Che Gurrira: *Jumps into the sentry* *In an obi-wan voice* Hello there!
Gorring: Gurrira! Did you really, come here to try and kill me?
Che Gurrira: Well, yes, I came here for that reason, you know, I thought this would be more climactic.
Gorring: Yeah, *Opens the fridge and drinks a cola loca*
Che Gurrira: You done?
Gorring: *Throws bottle at Che Gurrira* Yeah!
Che Gurrira: *Dodges bottle, and rushes Gorring*
Gorring: *Falls to the ground and begins to pummel Che’s face*
Che: *Backflips off of Gorring, getting ready for an attack*
Pilot: Welp, see ya Gorring! *Takes a parachute, and jumps off the sentry*
Gorring: *Dodges and backs off into the pilots cabin*
Che: *Pushes Gorring into the steering wheel*
Gorring: *Pushes Che off of him, and attempts to regain control of the sentry*
Che: *Backs off as Gorring finally regains control, and prevents their doom*
Gorring: *Smiles, and turns the steering wheel forcing the sentry into non-stop barrel rolls*
Che: *Keeps getting bounced around the sentry before finally holding on*
Gorring: *Holds onto the steering wheel*
Che: *Dizzy* Woah!
Gorring: *Rushes at Che, attempting to push him off of the sentry*
Che: *Pinned to the ground, struggles but manages to push Gorring off of him*
Gorring: You think your tough!? You think so!? Ay, amigo? *Continues to taunt*
Che: *Bullet punches Gorring to the stomach*
Gorring: *Cough* *Cough* That all you got!? *He grabs Che by the arms, spins him and flings him into the pilots cabin*
Che: *Smashes against the glass, the throw must have dealt serious damage, but that didn’t matter to him, Che grabbed onto the controls, and sharply steered it down-right forcing the Sentry to rotate down*
Gorring: *Gets flung to a wall* No! No! You will kill us both! I beg of you please… please stop!
*Moments later the sentry smashes into the ground, their injuries so severe, that both died*
*Both high commands saw this, they were speechless*
Gorbav and Khan: *Hand over heart* Today, today… we lost a great hero!
Narrator: The monarchist airforce was poorly managed, and below Gorring there were 13 air marshalls, all claiming to be Gorring’s successor.
*Monarchist war room*
Ronald McDonald: So you have no proper Air Force System no 2nd in command
Gortphiik: No.
Ronald: How is that even possible?
Gortphiik: Well, Gorring developed and built the airforce.
Ronald: *Facepalms*
Ryloth: Anyways I looked through the list I see 2 possible options: Marshall Earheart, she commands the largest gunship force, and marshal Manfred, also known as “the black baron” the most experienced air marshal.
Ronald: I’ve heard of the black baron, I say we get him in charge.
Khan: I propose a 3rd solution.
Ryloth: Which is?
Khan: Marshall Mathews. He has 4 loyalty medals, and was a close friend of Gorring, if we want a leader like Gorring than Mathews, is the choice, I am in favour of him.
Gortphiik: I second that
Ryloth: Well, I stand with McDonald, so I say we flip a coin and break the tie, we’re head your tails.
Khan: Seems fair.
Ryloth: *Flips the coin*
*The rest watch with anticipation*
Ryloth: Its Mathews.
*Khan smiles, they leave a while later to inform Mathews of his new job*
Narrator: A long armoured train quickly rushed towards the battle field, it was rushing down newly built roads, this train was unlike most, each cart had 2 turrets on top the carts, to prevent republican airstrikes. it was much more a large piece of metal, then a train really, there were 60 rhinos per train cart, the windows would not open, no toilets, no blankets or pillows, the rhinos slept on beds of iron, with their rations as their pillows and their blasters as the only thing to be kept warm by, this train carried 10 rhino battalions (1500 rhinos) and 150 million rhino £, the train also carried another rhino general, named Ryan Flanders, and his brother the Grand Duke of Flanders, Ned Flanders. Now such a expensive and important delivery would ofcourse never reach the monarchists, atleast not on Gorvan’s watch.
*Catalan, republican HQ*
Gary Czesku: I will bring in a farmer battalion, the one I have with me.
Gorvan: 7 platoons wont do much, against 1500 men.
Gary Czesku: Well, what army do you have?
Gorvan: Well, the bears left a lot of really good equipment, I will use about 100 tanks, positioned near here, we will hide them in bushes
Gary Czesku: But there are no bushes in the hills.
Gorvan: We will make a lot, and I mean a lot of fake ones, the train is scheduled to depart tomorrow, and arrive in about 3 days traveling at a speed of 4 miles an hour.
Gary Czesku: 4?
Gorvan: They are using an old train and the carts are remarkably heavy.
Gary Czesku: Ok, so what is your plan exactly?
Gorvan: Very simple, we hide out in the bushes, and we arm your battalion with bazookas, once they begin passing this mile long bridge in the hills, we will simply detonate the blast, sending the train flying down, then we will begin to barrage and shoot them with our tanks, until they surrender.
Gary Czesku: Wont the money burn up then?
Gorvan: It is in 2 super reinforced blue train carts, as long we don’t fire at those specifically then we will all be fine.
*3 days later*
Ryan: What a comfortable train ride this has been.
Ned: I know, I mean think about it, usually the trains have really thin matresses and we got massive ones, and a massage chair, talk about luxury.
Ryan: Yes, the general must be most prepared for battle.
Ned: Oh look it appears we are to cross the longest in-land bridge in the lands of the gorilla.
Ryan: You actually care for…
*BOOM*
*The train falls to the ground*
Gary Czesku: Move in men! *The farmer batallion begins to shoot the train carts*
*The armoured train carts, although could prevent blaster shots, were useless against explosives*
Gorvan: Tanks! Mobilise! *The tanks begin to move in and non-stop shoot*
*After 3 minutes of non-stop explosions, and utter devastation being sieged upon the rhino train, Gorvan orders to stop*
Gorvan: Halt! Do you surrender!?
*No reply*
Gorvan: I give you 30 seconds, do you surrender?
Ryan Flanders: *Whispers* No…
Ned Flanders: *Jumps out with a megaphone* We surrender! We surrender!
Gorvan: *Smiles*
*The republican forces cheer on their success*
*Local resistance groups help round up and arrest all surviving rhinos, which are taken to Catalan, to be used as industrial labour, the money was confiscated*
*After about a month later, Mosley helped negotiate with the rhinos, for 88 million rhino £ in exchange for all the soldiers, however Ned Flanders, the Grand Duke of Flanders, left a month earlier after giving in 11 million rhino £ to bail himself out*
Ok I wanted to post this before, but I forgot, I wanted to show how crazy effective General Ghana was as a general, more notably the Ghana Offensive, the previous map is a couple of pages back,, but this is the newest one, The thick black lines in the bottom show how it was a year ago, and the large line at the top is Catalan which became part of the republic, as you can see by now the monarchy aint looking so good, also the Capital is completely surrounded.
Narrator: Its been 19 days since Marshall Mathews took over the monarchist airforce, and on the 5th it all went downhill, Marshall Earheart, defected to the republicans, and Marshall Manfred, seeing himself as being snubbed, teamed up with 5 other air marshals and defected, locating up North in their own separate hangers.
This left the airforce in a disarray. Earheart who had 11% of all the airforce’s gunships/ dropships, had defected to Gorbav, which was great for Gorbav, not good for the monarchists. Now Marshall Mathews wasn’t a bad leader, however for many he was just like Gorring, without the charm, and enthusiasm, he was plain and boring, he continued the same tactics Gorring used and did not care to innovate. Manfred, the legendary “black baron” defected from the monarchist as he saw Mathews appointment as a snub, a snub to himself and the other competent leaders, he was seen as passionate, bold and innovative.
This split resulted in constant fighting between the 2 air forces, the fighting mostly occurred over gorilla hq, The black baron and his forces mostly intercepting the much important airlife, the “black forces” as they came to be soon known, also controlled 75% of the entire royal bombing force, as 3 of the 4 bomber marshals defected to Manfred.
This Resulted in the gorilla HQ, being bombed all throughout, and as time went on, the populous grew extremely dishearted with the war, they would wake up to their roofs falling on them, and spend the day listening, to the sounds of distant bombs, and non-stop buzzing of gunships above them.
*Monarchist war room*
Ronald: I can assure a rhino relief force will come once the infrastructure is sufficient.
Khan: Your mad! You promised that to us for a month!
Ronald: I said…
Khan: I heard what you said, you said that we need a better infrastructure, but all you have been doing is building railroads for a month, Get on with it!
Mathews: *Tears up* Its all my fault.
Ronald: Oh, not this again. *Leaves the room*
Ryloth: Don’t worry man… it will all be fine…
Khan: *Pulls out bottle of Cola-Loca, and drinks it full* Sick and tired of this, dude.
Gortphiik: *Speechless, as usual* Its ok, lets not freak out.
*Bombs can be heard exploding outside*
Gortphiik: *Bites lip* How long will we last?
Ryloth: Well, I mean atleast another month.
Khan: I say 10 days, at most, I am going to Manfred, to negotiate. *Leaves*
Manfred: This is your supreme commander, Manfred von Rudolph. Calling on all 17 hangars, take every single vessel you have into air, this is the final battle.
*The vessels begin to rapidly take off*
Khan: *Sees more and more ships take off* What have I done?
*Gorilla streets*
Ronald: *Walking by the streets through the burning treetops* Why did I agree to come here? I mean they don’t even have functioning sewers, or firefighters! *He sees a large black cloud* Oh great its gonna rain! *He quickly runs towards his rhino tank and gets in*
Servant: How is your day today, sir?
Ronald: Terrible! I do say so! Most of the gorillas are incompetent. When’s the next cabinet meeting?
Servant: In 10 days, sir.
Ronald: Book me.
Servant: Excuse me sir?
Ronald: I said, book me.
Servant: As you wish, sir.
Ronald: We are leaving in 3 days, you got it?
Servant: Yes sir, but isn't that early?
Ronald: I need a rest, got it?
Servant: Yes sir, sorry sir
Ronald: Great. *He hears faint explosions*
*Back in the air*
Manfred: All bombers, begin bombing all strategic industrial regions!
Chapter – 68 The Battle of The Skies - purple is monarchists (Gorilla general staff/rhinos)
*In the air*
Manfred: Why is there no opposition!?
*He downs some more gunships*
Manfred: I mean I expected more.
*He notices suddenly many more ships flying up in to the air*
Manfred: Hahaha! Oh no you don’t.
*On the ground*
Gortphiik: Fly! Just fly!
Manager: Sir, 90% of the vessels, are barely loaded, and 25% of all vessels are in critical condition, they might just fall out of the air, without a single shot.
Gortphiik: Tell them to fly highter! If they fall they will blow up Manfred!
Manager: No, sir.
Gortphiik: that’s an order! Is everyone here so rebellious?
Manager: No, sir, as you wish, sir. Fly higher! When falling try to destroy an enemy.
Pilot: *Whispers* That man is insane.
*Back in the air*
Manfred: Good job men, we are slicing through them like a hot knife through butter!
*Cheers over the radio*
Pilot: sir, it appears some of their vessels, aren’t fully loaded, they seem to be very careful with their shots.
Manfred: Ha! I see they did not follow Gorring’s teaching of: Allways keep the airforce loaded! Hahahaha! *He continues to destroy monarchist vessels*
*Back on the ground, (Ryloth’s tank)*
Ryloth: So, the gorillas fail at the field and at the table.
Servant: Appears to be so.
Ryloth: Well, time to mount the anti-aicraft gun *He gets inside the anti aircraft gun to top of his tank* Well, well, well I spy with my little eye, Traitors!
*He fires*
*2 gunships are knocked down*
Ryloth: *Smiles* This is gonna be fun.
*After several more shots he downs 5 gunships and 3 bombers*
*In the air*
Manfred: They have mounted the anti-aircrafts, pummel from where the fire is coming from.
*The aircraft follow the lead*
*On the ground*
Ryloth: getting smart, aint ya, well lets see Manfred or should I said Man-Dead.
*He fires at Manfred’s plane and hits it, shooting off one of its wings*
Manfred: well, see ya soon boys! *He jumps out with a parachute*
Ryloth: Think your so smart? Well I don’t! *He fires at his parachute*
Manfred: *As he is falling down* Hasta La Vista! *Throws a bright orange flare straight, onto Ryloth’s tank, then falls to his doom*
Ryloth: A flare, whats that gonna do? *His tank gets almost instantly hit, by a massive bomb*
*Following the fight, all remaining vessels of Manfred’s aerial army defected to the republic*
