Joint Base Hickam-Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii.
December 12, 1941.
Zumwalt looked at the Fleet about to set sail for the Dutch East Indies with an impressed gaze. Just a few days ago this place was a sea of fire, now they were already planning a counterattack on those bastards. In total there were about 65 mass-produced Warships that would sail with the Shipgirls under the command of Admiral Williams Halsey.
In addition to the mass-produced Warships that would be sailing, there were several Shipgirls accompanying them. Enterprise, Hornet, San Francisco, San Diego, Javelin, Laffey, Prince Of Wales, Cleveland, Zumwalt and George are the Shipgirls that will be sent for now.
Beside Zumwalt was Prince Of Wales who was drinking tea from her thermos. Zumwalt then said. "Everything happened so fast, eh? I was thinking that this is some bad joke by God."
"Creating Humans and Sirens in the first place is a bad joke, why make destructive creatures when you can make obedient ones without too much asking? No one knows and I honestly don't want to know." Wales said with a short sigh.
"You look tired, Miss Wales." Zumwalt said with an awkward smile.
"Yes, I'm tired of thinking about all this, but I can't let it all go, just because my hull carries this name... Prince of Wales, how sickening." Wales said with another sigh.
"Well uhh, I haven't known you long and I'm sure you don't trust me completely yet, but.... You can talk to me if you want." Zumwalt offered.
Wales thought about it for a moment. Then she spoke up again. "Then, whatever I say here is just between the two of us, okay? No one else can know, not even the Americans."
"Enterprise and Nevada can't know either?" Zumwalt asked to which Wales replied with a shake of her head.
"Even the two of them, don't get me wrong Zumwalt, I will gladly fight by their side till my last breath, but what I'm about to tell you goes beyond my trust in them, I just don't know why I want to tell you this so badly." Wales said softly, her grip on her tea flask strengthening.
"Perhaps, it comes from deep within you, you desperately need a place to pour out your grievances without fear of judgment, either because of the name your hull carries or because you are.... What is it again? Ah yes, Royal Knight." Zumwalt said softly, she held Wales' hand that was gripping the flask.
Wales seemed to sob a little, but still holding it in, she tried not to look at Zumwalt. "Yes, maybe... Maybe I need that place, can I do that with you, Zumwalt?"
"People say that confiding in someone you're not too close to is more relieving and enjoyable than confiding in someone you're close to." Zumwalt smiled a little.
".... This happened four days after Hood died... I can't forget it. Hood's corpse.... was placed in one of the facilities used to create us, the Shipgirls. There her body was autopsied, then I along with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth decided to come and give Hood a proper funeral, the Admiralty had agreed to our request as they also thought it immoral to perform vivisection on a Shipgirl who was the Jewel of the Fleet." Wales begins her story.
"Wait... Hood, died? But I heard from the other girls that she was just dying and is currently in intensive care?" Zumwalt asked confused.
"...That was a false story we all told to trick the enemy, the fact is the Hood right after her fight with Bismarck, died a horrible death... I still remember the fearful look in those blue eyes of her... Her beautiful golden blond hair was covered in blood." Wales' body trembled and her sobs began to intensify.
"That sounds pretty f*cked up man." Zumwalt scowled at that.
"Yeah, that's how Ironblood is under the leadership of the two-faced Bismarck." Wales said with anger.
"Back to the story... When me and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth were going to pick up Hood's corpse, how shocked we were to find all the facility staff and scientists there already killed with their bodies torn apart, we saw Bismarck carrying Hood's body, we don't know what her purpose was but we couldn't save Hood... Even after she died I was still a failure." Wales said, her anger growing.
Zumwalt squeezed Wales' arm. "Calm down Wales, I can't give you a promise that we will save Hood's body, but I can promise that I will be there when we kill Bismarck."
"Thank you, Zumwalt... Wow, you were right, that weight on my chest has been lifted a bit." Wales laughed crisply as she wiped away her tears. Wales' hand then touched Zumwalt's hand which hold Wales' hand that was holding the thermos.
"That's what friends are for, Wales." Zumwalt said softly.
"Miss Zummy! The preparations are complete! Admiral Halsey wants to have a staff meeting before we leave!" Javelin shouted from below, she was seen carrying a wooden box with an inscription that read "Jasmine Tea."
"Alright, we'll be right there!" Zumwalt replied loudly.
Javelin continued to lift the wooden box onto his ship. Zumwalt looked at Wales who had regained her composure. "Shall we?"
Wales nodded her head with a slight smile. "Lead the way, Yankee."
2 Kilometers from the Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters, Bangka Belitung Islands.
Lieutenant Commander Duncan co*cked the M7A1 he was carrying, the M7A1 or its original name is M7, is the next generation Assault Rifle for the United States Armed Forces, this rifle has now become the standard issue weapon used by all personnel, it's just a pity that the entry of the M7 into the service of the American Armed Forces can be said to be quite late because during the war between China and America, the average weapon still used is the M4A1.
Duncan had also put on his VIZ goggles, he was currently monitoring the situation from the Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters which was devastated by the naval attack from Admiral Doorman's Fleet.
"Lenny, move Butter closer, I seem to have found our VIP." Duncan ordered.
Lenny, one of the SEALS under Duncan's command, immediately moved Butter using the remote control connected to the VIZ. Butter is a lobster-shaped robot that is multifunctional, one of the main uses of Butter is that it can be a communication intermediary in case of interference that makes long-distance communication limited and also the most important thing is that Butter can mark important targets and then provide the data to its operator so that it can call an attack to be carried out.
"Is this enough, Commander?" Lenny asked.
"More than enough, Nowak, status on Warner and Orzel?" Duncan asked the Polish Navy officer who was his right-hand man.
"They are directly under the enemy fleet, they are ready to sink Japanese ships when you give the order." Nowak said with a grin.
"What about F and E Company to our west?" Duncan asked again.
"They reporting that they're ready for action, the Sherman tanks have moved ahead and the Infantry are following close behind. They may be ambushed by the Japanese Troops we found using Drones and Butter, but Sergeant Mohawk's team should be dealing with them as we speak." Nowak reported.
"Connect me with him."
"Connecting... Done, he's yours, Sir." Nowak nodded his head.
"Mohawk, buddy, how's the hunt going?" Duncan asked.
"Really Fun Commander! Who needs an assault rifle when you have a Plasma Rifle! Oh sh*t, Wallman! Watch your f*cking head!"
"You seem busy, man." Duncan said with a hint of mockery.
"You ordered me here, sir, what's with the sudden call?" Mohawk asked.
"300 American Soldiers with 20 Tanks will be passing your place in 15 minutes at the earliest, in which time I want those Japs back or burning in Hell." Duncan ordered.
"Consider it done, sir!"
Duncan then continued to observe the Headquarters in front of him, when he saw the VIP he mentioned earlier, how surprised was Duncan to see two beautiful and sexy women standing in front of the VIP.
"Comfort women?" Duncan asked curiously.
"I sent their descriptions to Miss Houston, she said they are shipgirls, one is the IJN Kaga the other is the KMS Prinz Eugen." Nowak reported.
"Shipgirls? This will be problematic, they are superhumans and we are mere mortals, can we ask General MacArthur for reinforcements?" Duncan asked again.
"Already ahead of you, Sir, General MacArthur is sending Houston and Marblehead towards us right now, Admiral Doorman's fleet has also sailed from Batavia with his ships, we have sea domination, sir." Nowak said confidently.
"I believe that, but I'm still worried about the Sirens, they could show up and suddenly destroy our plan to take the Islands." Duncan said with a long sigh.
"Hmm right, those aliens are really going to be a problem for us." Nowak said recalling their first battle against the Siren forces.
"Commander Duncan, a dozen air units suddenly appeared from the North, they are heading towards the Japanese Headquarters." Said Lenny who saw through other drones they were flying.
"...Nowak, I swear I'll have to glue your mouth next time." Duncan said with annoyance.
"Ahaha..."
"This is Vengeance to all units, let's get the party started." Duncan said through a communication channel.
Approximately more than 20 units of 81mm caliber mortars carried by the American troops began firing high-explosive shells. Duncan, Nowak and the others also advanced by combing the forest around the Headquarters. Several RAF aircraft in the form of Gloucester Meteors conducted strafing runs with HVAR rockets from under their wings, the jets then circled back to the airbase at Palembang to re-arm adn refuel.
12 Siren's Dropships appeared to be about to land at the Imperial Japanese Army Base which was being assaulted by Allied forces, but before they could land and unload soldiers, several AIM-9X missiles shot out from under the sea and shot down six Dropships, causing the rest to fly away and land their troops in a safer place.
Imperial Japanese ships also began to explode one by one below their waterline, mostly Battleships and Aircraft Carriers, with troop carriers being a secondary target. Courtesy of the angry Kilo-Class Submarine and the Virginia-Class.
Duncan shot down a few Japanese soldiers on patrol, they looked dazed before dying. Nowak, who was to his right, tapped Duncan on the shoulder, making Duncan stop. Nowak said. "Sir, Sergeant Mohawk's Unit has successfully defeated the Japanese ambush troops and is now rushing towards us with Captain Audwin's troops."
"Understood, tell them to prioritize security, we can still hold out for now." Duncan ordered.
"Copy that!"
Duncan then looked for the next target from his 6.8×51mm caliber assault rifle, he saw twelve Japanese soldiers walking towards them, Duncan immediately opened fire and was followed by the others.
The Japanese soldiers who had never heard rifle fire with silencers seemed to be quite frightened as they thought they were being attacked by ghosts from this island, but they were not. Some of the shots from the enemy troops also seemed to be almost accurate as Duncan was almost hit several times by enemy fire.
"They're not bad at shooting either! Where did this unit come from?" Duncan asked as he fired a grenade from the launcher under his M7A1 at a group of Japanese soldiers, killing almost all of them.
"Maybe they're veterans from the War in China! They really suck if they can't shoot civilians." Nowak joked as he lowered his head.
"Japanese heavy tanks heading our way!" Lenny shouted.
Sure enough, four tanks that had never appeared in the history books of the Second World War before them were now present. Duncan's VIZ immediately analyzed the tanks and identified them as Type-61 MBTs used by the JSDF in the early 1960s to mid-1970s.
"Use LAWS and Bazookas! That thing looks strong but it can't take much damage!" Duncan ordered.
Several of his SEALS and KNIL volunteers took aim at the tanks with their LAWS and Bazookas, rockets launching from their rocket launcher tubes.
One Type-61 exploded spectacularly after being hit by six LAWS directly on its hull. The rest of the tanks suffered only minor damage and malfunctioning electronic equipment.
As Duncan was about to give the next order, several KNIL volunteer soldiers ran towards the stopped tanks carrying Satchel Charges.
"Oh they're crazy! Give them covering fire! Nowak, on me!" Duncan ran forward with Lt. Nowak, the rest of the troops gave covering fire.
One of the KNIL soldiers forced open the Type-61 Tank's hatch and was instantly killed by it's tank commander who fired a pistol at him. The next KNIL soldier came and threw the satchel charge he was carrying into the tank, the young soldier jumped down and got down. A few seconds later the tank exploded and sent the turret flying into the sky.
Duncan saw this and went straight to the KNIL soldier and forced him to stand up. "Hey! Don't do that again, okay?! There's no sacrifice under my f*cking leadership!"
The KNIL soldier seemed confused by what Duncan said, it seemed he was a native who joined the KNIL. "Do you understand what I'm saying? There is no sacrifice!"
Duncan then dragged the KNIL soldier to a safer place while avoiding fire from Japanese machine guns. Some of the RAF's Meteor Jets did a flyby and dropped their bombs on the Japanese tank positions.
"Sir! That's a little too reckless!" Nowak shouted, firing a grenade launcher at the enemy position.
"Where are Houston and Marblehead's positions?! We can't advance without them!" Duncan shouted.
"Above us!" Duncan and the others immediately looked up into the sky, there was an RAF transport plane, the Armstrong Whitworth 'Albemarle', flying gracefully and escorted by more than 13 Airacobras. Moments later two parachutes inflated in the sky and descended relatively quickly.
Several more AIM-9X missiles launched from under the sea and hit several Siren fighters that were trying to shoot down the parachutists. Several minutes passed and finally the two parachutists landed near the position of Duncan and the others. As Duncan and his partner approached the two paratroopers, they saw two beautiful women with non-military standard clothing and had Heavy and Light Cruiser Rigging on their bodies.
"Welcome to the priority train to Hell, ladies! Who's Marblehead and who's Houston?" Asked Duncan with his trademark eccentricity.
"It's like you've never met me, Commander." A pink-haired woman chuckled at Duncan's statement.
"Oh Houston, I'm too used to seeing you in a ponytail and modest attire than this, the blonde one must be Marblehead, right?" Duncan looked at the woman with short blonde hair with some pink strands.
"Hello~ I'm Marblehead, nice to meet you Commander~ We'd better take care of this first and then continue chatting, huh?" Marblehead giggled.
Houston shook her head at her partner's strange nature. "Commander, we are under your orders during this operation, what are your orders?"
"Take out those Shipgirls at the Japanese Base, we'll hold off the Sirens and repel the Japanese soldiers." Duncan ordered.
"Understood sir, Let's go Marble!" Houston and Marblehead immediately shot towards the Imperial Japanese Army Headquarters.
The attack led by Lieutenant Commander Duncan from the South and Captain Audwin from the West caused chaos to the Japanese troops who were still trying to gather and strategize. Several Tomahawk missiles from underwater emerged and hit the Japanese captured runway and their ammunition storage depots that survived Admiral Doorman's Navy attack last night.
Huge explosion after huge explosion occurred inside the Japanese Imperial Army Headquarters, the Imperial soldiers were also running around trying to figure out what happened. The Japanese General commanding the Unit, Sano Tadayoshi, was seen being escorted by several soldiers along with Kaga and Eugen out of the heavily bombarded Base.
"Kaga-san! Where are they attacking from?!" Sano asked while looking at the 'arrows' of light that hit the ammunition storage and the harbor where the Navy ships were docked.
"Negative for those missiles! But their ground troops are heading towards us from the South and West, I suggest retreating to the East and gathering the remaining soldiers for a swift counterattack!" Kaga retorted while throwing her blue-colored paper bird that brought down one of the Airacobras serving as CAS.
"You do that! I can survive with Miss Eugen's help!" General Sano Tadayoshi said.
Kaga seemed reluctant, but Eugen gave Kaga a pat on the shoulder, making Kaga finally agree to let General Sano be with Eugen alone. She then immediately darted away, while flying dozens of Zero fighters.
Houston who ran among the ruins of the Japanese Headquarters gasped when she saw Kaga who was on the wreckage of a Type-61 Tank, she seemed to be focused on communicating with others on her radio.
Houston aimed at Kaga with her 203mm caliber cannon and immediately fired, several armor-piercing shells flew quickly towards Kaga, but an energy shield appeared to block the attack from Houston. The energy shield made out of hundreds of small hexagons.
"Apparently there is one rat here, Houston or Memphis? Honestly I forgot, I'm confused with you United States always have different hair colors." Kaga said in a lazy tone.
".... Kaga, we meet again... When did we meet last? New York?" Houston asked Kaga with a pretty sharp look.
"That's right, the world is really small and cruel, eh? But you should know that, Houston." Kaga gave a small grin.
Houston was getting ready to attack. "I'm glad that even though you went back to Japan, the co*cky nature you took from us didn't disappear, The Bar has been pretty quiet since you and the others went home."
"Oh I'm being honest with you, Houston, I'd really like to go back if I could, but you know what we have to do first, right?" Kaga then threw some blue paper into the air which immediately caught fire and became several Dive-Bombers.
Houston ran between the ruins of the Base while the anti-air weapon on her rigging shot down Kaga's planes. Several times she also stopped and opened fire, before running back among the ruins. Kaga continued to laugh while throwing her paper in the air, Houston sighed in frustration because the energy shield Kaga was using was really annoying.
"Why Houston? You look troubled." Said Kaga who stopped laughing.
"Maybe you can start by turning off that annoying shield." Houston grumbled while dodging a barrage of fire from Kaga's Zero fighter.
"Oho? I thought you were all equipped with Anti-Energy Shells? Is it because you didn't think you'd be dealing with us or Siren?" Asked Kaga a little surprised but amused.
"...We were expecting to be at war with you, not Siren, but the people above should have known since you're allied with them but it seems they're trying so hard to make a joke, and it's not funny." Houston said.
Kaga laughed again. "Oh I really miss the dumbass nature of your High Command, Houston."
"And I don't." Houston said before finally darting back while firing her 203mm cannon. Kaga casually took the attacks from Houston using her energy shield.
As Houston continued to attack from the front with difficulty, suddenly several 155mm caliber cannon with high explosive shells slammed into Kaga's back which made her tumble forward and her shield disappeared.
Marblehead who was shooting at Kaga from a distance just chuckled. "You seem to have forgotten that lesson, Kaga."
"Marblehead... Bastard, you really are just like before, not changing at all." Complained Kaga who was slowly getting up from her fall.
"What should I say, Kaga, I'm an old woman who doesn't like to change much." Marblehead chuckled.
Kaga then saw using one of her planes that was still flying, a column of armored vehicles with hundreds of American soldiers was moving and had already arrived at the front door of the Base she was defending. Kaga scoffed in displeasure before finally saying. "You won this time, Marblehead and Houston, but next time I won't give you any mercy."
Kaga then threw a ball down, the ball exploded and caused a lot of smoke, Houston fired her secondary cannon into the smoke produced by Kaga, but the shells from her secondary cannon seemed to hit nothing.
Marblehead came to Houston and said. "It seems Kaga is using that trick again, I'm confused as to how it continues to work when we've seen her do it so many times in the past."
"This is Kaga we're talking about, she's good at everything except making friendly faces." Houston said while shaking her head.
"At least we won today, Houston." Marblehead said encouraging her partner.
"I think you have a point, a win is a win, right?" Houston smiled a little, but her heart was troubled.
Marblehead certainly realized this but decided not to say anything, but her hand tapped Houston's shoulder continuously. During their time there, American troops had entered and secured the Base, all the remaining Japanese soldiers were captured for interrogation at a later date.
Commander Duncan and Captain Audwin were seen observing inside the Base to see what facilities could still be repaired or had to be completely replaced by a new one.
"Miss Warner really gave them hell." Said Captain Audwin who was very impressed to see the workmanship of the Virginia Class attack submarine.
"Aye, just like in Sumatra isn't it? And that was only a week ago." Duncan laughed.
"Agreed, a lot has happened in a week's time, I'm just confused." Captain Audwin held his dizzy head.
"You and I are the same buddy, so when are General MacArthur and the Division from the Philippines coming here?" Duncan asked.
"Probably two or three days from now, along with reinforcements from Azur Lane, the operation to capture Singapore has been planned before the eventual Bombing Mission to Tokyo." Captain Audwin whispered at the end.
"How did you know that sh*t?" Duncan looked surprised.
Audwin grinned. "You should hang out at the Officers' quarters once in a while or try to suck them up, they're bound to tell you something secret."
Duncan shook his head. "Nah, I already have a wife man."
"Your wife from the future? Aren't you divorced, man?" Audwin asked in surprise.
".... Yeah well, that bitch took custody of my kid from me, I can't see him anymore and I really can't now." Duncan bowed his head.
Audwin patted Duncan on the shoulder. "Come one now Commander, perhaps in this Era there will be a beautiful woman who is loyal to you."
Duncan thought about that. "On second thought, yes, thank you for your advice Audwin, let's continue surveying this place and have a nice dinner."
"Right behind you, sir."
In the village near the Imperial Japanese Army base occupied by Allied forces.
USS John Warner and ORP Orzel were seen strolling through the already rather large village leisurely. They had just been relieved of duty after Admiral Doorman's task force came and replaced them, now Commander Duncan and the Navy division's ABDACOM high command asked them to rest, before finally plunging back into the storm.
"It feels peaceful, Orzel." Warner said with a smile as she looked at the children playing near the few KNIL and Allied soldiers in the village. This village had been one of the villages that was loyal to the Dutch East Indies and kept reporting the movements of the Japanese Army to the Allies, so the Assault Operation could run relatively smoothly because the people in this village put their lives on the line for it.
"I agree, Siostra, but it would be a shame if there was another conflict after all this is over, you remember after the Second World War ended these people decided to Proclaim their Independence." Orzel said with a sad smile, imagining that the people they saw today would probably die sometime in the future.
Warner was pensive at the thought. "Hmm, it's true what you say, if it's said like that we're like the bad guys, are we the bad guys?"
Orzel looked at the sky, before finally looking back at the children who were playing happily. "Maybe in the future we'll have to kill these children because they support Independence, I don't know how to feel about that... But about your words we are the bad guys... We humans go through three phases in life."
"Ah here she is, my favorite Polish woman with her philosophy." Warner said rolling her eyeballs.
Orzel ignored Warner's words and continued to give her words. "The first phase teaches us to distinguish right from wrong... The second phase in life, teaches us that in life there is no right and there is no wrong." Orzel smiled as she said that.
"Wait, I seem to recognize the reference of the quote you're saying right now." Warner seemed to realize something.
"Warner, do you know what's last in the last phase of life?" Orzel asked Warner.
Warner once again looked around her, it was peaceful despite the war around them. ".... It teaches us to do what we believe is right and take responsibility for the results, am I right?"
"Exactly, Warner, you should go to Philosophy school after this." Orzel smiled slightly.
"...Why say this out of the blue, Old Eagle?" Warner asked curiously.
Orzel was silent for a moment before finally sighing. "I don't like and will never support colonialism, they own this land and they have the right to rule over it... Warner, if the Dutch and the Allies don't give Indonesian people the overall independence they dream of, I will fight by their side, until my last Torpedo and Missile."
"Are you crazy, Old Eagle? You'd be fighting the Allies if it were like that! And besides, why fight for people you don't even know?" Warner said loudly, but not enough to attract the attention of the surrounding people.
"Isn't that what I could have told you and the American Government back before Dhahran? Always intervening in other people's countries' affairs and making a mess of them... I don't want to bring up the old story, my friend Warner, but I'm going to do it because I feel it's right, Lieutenant Nowak definitely agree with my decision." Orzel said while clenching her fists.
Warner continued to stare into Orzel's ocean-blue eyes before finally ruffling her own brown hair in frustration. "Better rethink that decision of yours Old Lady, this war is still a long time away, at least two years if I do say so myself."
"You're not going to report me to the Supreme Command?" Asked Orzel curiously.
"...I feel like I'd be the best whor* with gaping puss* in the world if I did that, I still have a heart my friend, after all with that much time we can use it to convince the Dutch East Indies to let Indonesia become independent, the path of diplomacy is always open, okay?" Warner let out a long sigh.
".... Thank you Siostra, sorry if I burdened you by telling you my thoughts." Orzel felt guilty.
"It's better you say it now, Orzel, than later on I find out from someone else's mouth, alright! Enough of this sappy sh*t, I want to try a suggestion from one of the KNIL, he said there's a very good 'Lakse' sold here, so I want to try it." Warner shook her head before moving on.
Orzel smiled sincerely before following Warner. Behind them, in the corner of the house. There was a pale-skinned woman with milky white hair and piercing yellow eyes staring at them steadily. She was using some sort of sack to cover her body.
"Hey there! What are you doing?" A KNIL soldier appeared to be approaching the mysterious woman with a Johnson Rifle in his hand.
"Troublesome... Human..." The woman immediately materialized a large black claw glove with three sharp fingers.
Before the poor soldier could scream or make a sound, the woman tore into the poor KNIL soldier's body, before leaving to avoid being searched.

".... So she's The new model, specialized to handle this Anomalies?"
"That's right my colleague, Lurker Mod. 2, now equipped with Claws for close combat, has her own missile launcher year and has Torpedoes that can chase targets, even though they're in stealth mode, those two old
Submarines will be destroyed in the near future."
"Make sure it's as clean as possible, okay? I don't want those Arbiter bastards to know, it could be a big problem."
"Hmmm come to think of it, how come I keep doing your job, you're the one who let them in here."
"Huh?! Now it's my fault, how did I know that they were suddenly teleported here!"
"You said that it's almost impossible for people in that world to do that... Could there be a traitor among us?"
"...I can't deny that it could happen, but the question is why would They do that and how would They escape the Obedience Command that the Creators put in place when making them all, is it a bug?"
"Most likely not, whoever the culprit is, They're very good at hiding Their tracks and must have a high enough rank to do this."
"Should I send Purifiers to hunt down this mole of ours?"
"Do it, but give them command to do it as cleanly as possible, remember, clandestine."
"This is the Purifier Units we're talking about, their only job is to kill, no matter what the method."
"...What kind of drugs our creator used when They created the Purifiers? I want one too."
"You and I are the same."
"Ignoring that issue, how about Germany? I'm very interested in that country development."
"Germany is waiting for the weather to improve, it's likely that the invasion will take place during the Summer, so there shouldn't be any significant action on the Western Front in the next few months. But every day the instant Factory Modules we give to Germany keep pumping up the war machine like there's no tomorrow, is this a bit much?"
"Hmmm yes, this is a bit too much and will leave the Allies with no fighting chance, limit their daily production and try to do something else to make the Germans calm down a bit, we don't want this World to end up like the Fourth Reich timeline, do we?"
"Well that's unlikely to happen, the Allies have Zumwalt-class Destroyers, Nimitz-class Super Carriers, Virginia-class and Kilo-class Attack Submarines, it's impossible for the Allies to just lose."
"...I didn't include them in my calculations, bloody Anomalies. Never mind, how's the German progress in the Arctic?"
"Uhhh they just lost the battle there."
"Huh? How so? Do the Allies already have bases there? No way! We should know if they do."
"Uhhh according to reports from agents on the ground they lost not to the Allied Forces, but hundreds of Penguins who evolved and now use firearms, they put up a great fight."
"Nonsense! Bring up the video!"
A large holographic screen appeared before the two entities. They saw a replay of the battle between the German troops and the evolved Penguin army. The Penguins appeared to be using various types of weapons, but the majority were using M1 Garands and Thompsons, they also even wore standard US Army helmets.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me, what's next, they're hijacking a German warship?!"
"Uhhh ma'am..."
"Don't tell me they..."
"Yes... Two Scharnhorst-class Battleship and ten Z-23 version Type-1936A class Destroyers, all Mass Production and under the control of the Penguins."
"What's wrong with this timeline?!"
