Marcha sobre Bogotá




1935.04.25 1500
City Hall of Cúcuta, Centroamerican Colombia



It had been three days since the Federal Army encircled and captured Cúcuta, a city located at the Colombian-Venezuelan border. At the same time as Venezuela surrender to the Federation, General Bolivar Escobar led his Third Army to assault this Colombian military base. With superior army size and equipments, Federal Army defeated the garrison and took control of this province. The Federal Army captured the damaged City Hall and transform it into the advance base for the Federal Army to march on Bogota, the capital of Colombia.

After defeated the last Venezuelan Army in Eastern Caracas, Dieter decided to come to this city to supervise the progress and had a small meeting about the future advance.

"Good afternoon, sir." A soldier walking through the corridor saluted to Dieter, who was striding with his guards.

"Good morning, soldier." Dieter saluted to the soldier and asked, "Is General Escobar here?"

"Yes, sir. He is inside the Major's office." the soldier answered.

"Thank you." Dieter thanked him and continued striding to upstairs.


(minutes later)

At the time Dieter opened the broken door of the Major's office, General Escobar was talking to several officers and marking on the map which was placed on the desk.

"Good afternoon, General Escobar. Do you have time to have a small meeting?" Dieter asked.

"Oh, Commander Schulz, welcome to Cúcuta." Bolivar quickly turned towards Dieter and saluted to him. Other officers did the same things within a second, after realising Dieter was here.

"Sure, such a nice place." Dieter saluted and said, "Officers, if you have nothing urgent to report, please leave here for a while. General Escobar and I are going to have a brief meeting."

"Yes, sir." Officers answered and left the room rapidly, leaving the room with only Dieter and Bolivar.

"I have heard that you controlled Cúcuta without strong resistance." Dieter looked on the map and asked, "Quite a nice news. Are there anything noticeable in this province?"

"Yes, sir. Although all Colombian Army have retreated to Bogotá, we engaged some rebellions resisting and sabotaging the supply line." Bolivar said, "Villagers said that they called themselves 'Cuerpos Libres', and they were formed to fight against leftist government, including Colombia and us."

"Cuerpos Libres...... sounds familiar." Dieter thought. "Alright, I am going to ask the professionals to deal with them. Are there other important things?"

"No, sir. Despite that partisans are still trying to attack our bases, our soldiers are ready for another battle." Bolivar said, "I suggest that we shall strike Bogotá before they are ready."

"Be patient, General Escobar." Dieter said, "The First Army is coming to here and the Second Army is marching to Barranquilla. Once they are in position, the order to take Bogotá will be issued. Keep your soldiers ready. This battle will be crucial. Dismiss."

"Yes, sir!" Bolivar answered loudly and saluted to Dieter, who is leaving the room.

A Military Police base in Maracaibo, Centroamerican Colombia


Being the most important oil field in Venezuela, Maracaibo became the base of Military Police to prevent assault against the facilities. About an hour ago, a military transport aircraft landed on the temporary airfield. Its passenger, Dieter and his guards left the plane and entered the complex after recognised by the military polices.

"Good morning, Miss Mustermann." After entering Erika's office, Dieter said to Erika, who was reading a report in front of her desk.

"Good morning, leader." Erika quickly stood up and bowed to Dieter. "Welcome to Maracaibo base, are there anything I can help?"

"Yes, Miss Mustermann." Dieter sat down in the opposite of the desk and asked, "I have heard that there are a partisan group called 'Cuerpos Libres' engaged in organised sabotage activity. Do they have partisans in this place too?"

"Yes, leader. I have received several reports about their activities in Caracas. Unlike other rebellions, they are more organised and have better equipment. It seems that they have supporters." Erika answered.

"It is nice that you have informations about them. I hope you and keep an eye on them since they DO cause problems to our battle plan." Dieter said, "Send some military police to Cúcuta to extinguish them."

"Yes, leader." Erika smiled and answered.

"Also, an assault towards Bogotá is almost ready. After the battle is started, I hope you can infiltrate you can several elite soldiers to Bogotá." Dieter said quietly, "To execute Order 371."

"Order 371. Understand." Erika nodded immediately.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Mustermann." Dieter stood up and said, "Dismiss."
 
Negociación

Secret bunker under the presidential palace, Bogotá, Colombia


It had been 22 hours after the first Centroamerican artillery shell landed near the Capitolio Nacional located in Bogotá. Although Colombian soldiers were outnumbered by the Centroamerican soldiers for 20,000 to 90,000, their endeavors to protect the capital had succeed to keep Centroamerican soldiers from reaching the capital soil...... or did they?

While the presidential palace was nearly destroyed by another waves of artillery shells, Alfonso López Pumarejo, the president of Colombia, was following his guards to the secret bunker, which could lead him outside the city if needed.

"President, the plane is on its way, please take the plane when we cannot hold longer." A guard said to Alfonso, "You are too important for Colombia to risk your life."

"I will do so, soldier." Alfonso answered, "Yet, I will stay with my people until the invaders stepped in this bunker."

"We will keep them out then." The guard said and salute to Alfonso, "We are going to guard the gate now."

"Thank you." Alfonso answered. The guards turned around after and walked along the corridor.


(5 minutes later, in the communication room)


"The First Division is under attack in southern sector! Send us supplies and reinforcements now!" In the communication room, Alfonso was sitting in front of a radio, listening to the transmission of the army. This room was originally built for the generals to command the remaining forces here, but all of them were either fighting on the ground or lying six feet under.

"General Vargas of the Second Division! We need support! General Vargas! Anyone pick up the radio!" The voice in the radio started shouting more and more loudly.

"Curse it...... It seems that the fall of this city is inevitable. Maybe I should......" Alfonso uttered after staring at a map of Bogotá.

"Leave the city now?" Suddenly a voice popped out from Alfonso's back. However he considered the voice was belonged to one of his guard, so he turned back to talk to him.

"Maybe......" Alfonso turned back and quickly realising who was really talking with him. Two soldiers in Centroamerican uniform were holding rifles and were pointing the barrels to Alfonso's head.

"What!...... How?" Alfonso was shocked. He was even shocker when a familiar woman sauntered into the room.

"Good evening, Señor." Erkia smiled to Alfonso and said, "My name is Erika Mustermann, and I am on behalf of President Dieter to have a little talk with you."

"Can I not?" Alfonso asked.

"Of course, sir." Erika smiled deeper, "I believe they can elect another president quickly."

"It seems that you are smarter than your appearance. Pardon my impoliteness though." Erika said, "May you come with me? I know a nice place."


(5 minutes later, a meeting room)


"Please take a seat, sir." Erika said.

"What do you want from me?" Alfonso said.

"Nice, I like a straight person." Erika smiled, "You are going to be the head of state of Centroamerican Colombia."

"Impossible." Alfonso said.

"No, I think you have misunderstood my words." Erika said, "I say you are going to be the leader of Centroamerican Colombia."

"I will not do so." Alfonso repeated.

"No, I say you ARE GOING TO be the leader of Centroamerican Colombia." Erika said again, with deeper smile.

"Threatening or treating do not work on me." Alfonso said, with lesser patient.

"I am NOT asking for your agreement, I am just informing you." Erika said, "Frankly, you should be proud to serve the people under the flag of socialism."

"I am serving the people before you invaded Colombia and Venezuela!" Alfonso shouted.

"No. Bourgeoisie know nothing about true socialism. Only poor people know what socialism is......" Erika said, with a twisted smile.

"What......" Alfonso was trying to object Erika. However, Erika stood up suddenly and stopped Alfonso.

"Alfonso, Alfonso...... A son of a great businessman, do you ever know what poverty means?" Erika said, "Without money to buy a cigar per meal? Or without money to enjoy a bottle of spirits?"

"Obviously no. You will never truly understand what poverty really means because you do not suffered it. I have suffered it, and it changed my life too. Welcome to Erika's first speech of her political salvation."

"In your brain, what is the first image? The face of father and mother? Or some toys hanging above your bed? I do not have such a blessing. The first thing I remember is, many coughing people trudging through the streets. They are coughing and suffering from fever. The second thing I remember is, streets with countless people lying on the street, and the heat in my head which is killing me. It was a nightmare."

"Finally, the heat and pain left me. When I firstly stood up and walked outside my home, do you know what I see? People celebrating for something. What? The end of the horrible plague? No. They are celebrating the revolution. 'The empire is ended! Long live the republic!' They yelled. At the time, I don't know what empire or republic means, but I think that would bring me, and everyone happiness. Did it?" Erika said, "No. What did it bring to us instead? Poverty, and I mean POVERTY!"

"My family is not so wealthy, but my father can bring back warm breads every day for me and my brother. However, things changed. All we can eat was cold, hard breads. Could you imagine not eating anything warm for days? Weeks? Months?" Erika questioned.

"Why we had to suffer this? Why? People said we had the best constitution in the world. People said it is brave to pay for the war. People said the republic is better than the empire. But why should we suffer from this glorious republic? I had come up with a conclusion with my soldier neighbours. We are betrayed. Betrayed by defeatists and foreigners. That is the reason we had to suffer. Why should we suffer because of the corrupted stock market?" Erika started exclaiming, "All of our money became worthless. My parents had to beg for foods. Their live are hard, my existence even make it harder. At last, I left my home to help them a little bit. That is what my impotent body can do for my family......"

"This is an extreme capitalist world, which everything can be purchased and be bought. To survive in this cural world, I sold everything I can. My labour, my body, my name, my identity...... my dignity. Can you even imagine a live without anything? CAN you?" Erika shouted.

"However, an ironic thing changed my live. I hate fascism as I hate capitalism, but fascists changed my life. They not only told me what a dream is, they showed to me too. Before that, everyone I saw is either depressed, desperate and poor, or some wealthy men who purchase EVERYTHING they wanted. But in that day, I saw what a true human being, and a true citizen is." Erika signed and said, "In that day, everyone were celebrating and smiling for those people armed with rifles and guns who are marching through the street and singing about the resurrection of our nation and race."

"That image inspired me. The meaning of 'nation'. A nation should be formed by one people, with one will, one resolve and one cause. How glitter is a image that everyone is united under one flag and one will? That is the day I recovered my dream. Now I have a thing which cannot be purchased or sold. A dream." Erika said, "For that, I changed my live. I sold everything I need not in order to bought my first thing - a name. Gretel is no more. I am Erika Mustermann now."

"Erika, heard that there are a better place beyond the ocean, crated herself and arrived the land. I will never forget the sign of '¡Bienvenido a Curacao!'......" Erika smiled, "Also, knowing that a dream can only realised by herself, Erika joined a man from Germany too. He told me that he bought the name 'Dieter Schulz' to come to here."

"That is the story of Erika before she is Erika, thanks for listening, and pardon my impoliteness......" Erika bowed to Alfonso and picked up a cup of water which she thrown to the ground before.

"I hope you can understand why you should support us by that. However, whether you understand or not, the result is the same." Erika concluded, "I have to go back to Maracaibo now. Excuse me, and have a nice day."

Erika's Office in Maracaibo, Centroamerican Colombia

"Sorry, my leader." Erika said, "I lost my mind and probably failed the mission."

"Forget it." Dieter, sitting on the chair, said, "We have captured Bogotá and President Pumarejo. Colombia will surrender later."

"Thank you, my leader." Erika said.

"Remember to bring your medicine with you next time though." Dieter said.
 
Too bad not many people read this AAR...... :(
Yes, Erika pissed off. :p

You must understand that englsih isn't my mother language (Thanks to God, I hate this language) and then the novel posts are hard to follow.
 
Yes, that's problem also for me. But maybe I shouldn't say it because I'm also using some kind of novel in my own AAR :eek:o But I can say that you are very good writer in English... Keep going. At least I read and enjoy your AAR

Me too!!
Please continue!!

Just one little advice:
Take some screenshots into your updates.
It makes the whole thing more interesting, for a whole bunch of people.
 
I like noveled AARs, and I'm aslo a non-native english speaker and reader, nor Reno is (You were cantonese, no Reno?).

But it is good to have we all talking in english in this part of the forums, if not, this would be a pure Dystopia.

Now, going on-topic, the two last updates were very good. Can we have a central american map?

I had suspected that he might be (though I never took the time to look up DST + 8), and so I have to say that I'm quite impressed with this writing... I know Americans who can't write this well in English!

On topic: I think I see a certainly authoritarian streak in Erika. I wonder where that will lead?

Oh, and I hope that my submission to be a leader (on the previous page) wasn't too late.

Newspaper "Diario de Centroamérica" said:
Bogotá captured!
Fulano de Tal in Bogotá

After 9 days of continuous battle around the city of Bogotá, the speaker of Centroamerican Federal Army (Ejército Federal de Centroamérica, EFC) confirmed the information that Bogotá is almost under the control of EFC soldiers.

"After the crucial assault on 05.04, the Colombian Army had lost their hold in the urban area." General Savonez said, "The last Colombian division left the province of Bogotá at the noon of 05.07, about 3 hours after we captured the Capitolio Nacional. EFC spent 50 hours to destroy the remaining rebellions and militias. About 500 soldiers were killed during the operation, while the Colombian Army suffered thousands of casualties. Civilian casualties were minimum."

After the Capitolio Nacional was captured, the new Parliament of Centroamerican Colombia took over the control of this building, and officially announce the annexation of Colombia. About an hour later, the Minister of Security and Domestic Affairs, Erika Mustermann announced that the government and the Military Police will help to rebuild this war-torn nation.

"We see no different between the freedom-loving people of Centroamerica and the freedom-loving people of Colombia. Therefore, they should be treated equally, and it is MY responsibility to ease their burden caused by exploiting and war." Mustermann said, during a visit to downtown Bogotá.

P.S. I am Chinese who speak Cantonese and live in Hong Kong. :)

Rodrico Stak :
Thanks!
You are recruited, but will not join this war due to the time. However, you will have chance to join the war. :)
(Erika supports strong government, yet that might have some different with authoritarian...... Whatever, time will tell, sooner or later. :D )
 
Is it possible to make territorial demands on Panama Canal Zone? It would make you the leader of Central American Markets.

Pasto, Centroamerican Colombia


"Good evening, generals." Dieter, sitting in front of the round desk which all generals involved in this war was sitting around, said, "Colombia, the most powerful nation in the Colombian Alliance, is history. However, Ecuador is still trying to defy us, or leave this war just like nothing happened."

"The Ecuadorian government will pay for their intervention. However, our soldiers are exhausted after three months of war. We should find a way to end this war quickly." Dieter said, "Any suggestions?"

"Yes, sir." Reinaldo stood up, unfold a map of Ecuador and said, "Our worst enemy in Ecuador is the terrain. The mountainous terrain will seriously slow down the movement of our soldiers. Considered that the navy have enought number of transport to launch an amphibious assault, I suggest that we can strike the port city of Guayaquil to provide us a shortcut to Quito."

"The Federal Navy is capable to do so." Thrawn, the Grand Admiral of the Federal Navy, said.

"Thank you, Field Marshall Renteria and Grand Admiral Thrawn." Dieter nodded and said, "If no one object this plan, who will lead the assault?"

"I will." Bolivar said.

"Very well, then Field Marshall Renteria and General Escobar will lead 6 divisions to land on Guayaquil." Dieter said, while Erika was writing on her notes.

"General Miihkali will help the assault by obstructing Ecuadorian Army from Quito." Dieter said, "After we took full control of the province, we will start the final assault."

"Yes, sir." Miihkali said.

"All four armies will be in this assault. Apart from those who participated in the amphibious assault, I will lead the first army to join the battle of Quito from Bogotá." Dieter said.

"It will spend at least 20 days to reach Quito, so please be prepared. Dismiss."


(After everyone except Dieter and Erika left the room)


"Miss Mustermann. The fifth army is assigned in the isthmus, you may deploy them to Colombia to destroy the cuerpos libres." Dieter whispered to Erika.

"Jawohl, mein meister." Erika nodded and smiled to Dieter.





Editorial in Newspaper "Diario de Centroamérica" said:
This is a day worth celebrating. After 4 months of bloodshed, the war between Central America and Colombian Alliance is ended with total Central American victory. After the battle occurred in the mountainous area of Quito from May 25 to June 1, the remain of Ecuadorian Army were forced to abandon Quito and fled to Tigre. The flag of Central America is unfurl high above the city of Quito even before EFC took control of the city. The reason is simple : the oppressors are defeated by the army of just. Justice prevails!

Yes, it is possible to claim the Canal from USA, and we have 39% success for some reasons. However, that would be a bit unlogical if Uncle Sam give us the Canal without some presents. :cool:


Edit : May someone translate "Gun or Butter" to Spanish? :confused:
