The Shadow President

[linque]

Proloque.

I got bored to only tell whats happening. As looking those nice stories that there is I desided it’s time to improve FIN story and I thought that it would look grude if I change style in middle of AAR. This continues strait from alternative fin aar(not very glorius name).

part one: alternative fin aar(the short history) Link here
Part two: The shadow president(the story)

This may not be suitable for minors, so be warned. I may even use strong lanquage, but I think for example.
“Holy flowers, there they come” commander shouted. Takes little edge out of message.
If anyone is offended or there is something that should not been said in there forums, reply me I do it alternative way(I can only be on forums at work hours 8-15 fin time).
Always remember. This is story, not real life. This is game, not real war.

If you see text pic here in story it means that i havent yet uploaded it

I may add more to any chapter and edit the story until there stands THE END at end of last chapter.

So wait a little bit for the Dark story of Shadow president of Finland.

Enjoy

Empty Eyes

Quite large room in heart of Helsinki was the command center of Finland. It was quite ordinary room with only few curiosities. Firstly there were many tables with lots of map on them with some writing on them and there were also large painting of hitlers face with lot of darts in it.

Most of the army commander where standing quiet and watching President Linque. He seemed to listen someone. Suddenly he started to scream.
-I want my sverdlovsk. It was mine. It will be mine.

Phone ringing stops the yelling. One of commander answers the phone.
-Is all set? Linque asks
-Yes. commander answers.
-Give the green light.

At same time at tornio where mannerheim keeps his headquarters messenger runs toward him and yells.
-Green light. Its green light!
-I don’t like to be a decoy. mannerheim say quietly and one of his captains hear him and asks.
-Decoy. What you mean?
-Never mind. Lets roll. Give the orders.



Within next hour in command tent Dark legion general Laukko is giving orders.
-Give no mercy. Ask no mercy. Do what you do best. Kill. Kill!
-Yes sir! Lesser commanders yell in union.

And then all the hell breaks loose.



Swedish defenders were strong, but not strong enough as Finnish special force armies attacked from their hidden bases in Oslo and near provinces. They marched straight over them.

Meanwhile in tornio mannerheim gets reports from western front.
-All other key provinces are in our control, but Stockholm is resisting our attacks.
-Send them immediately offensive supply! Mannerheim orders



Two weeks after the start of war president is cursing aloud.
-Damn the payment of using their land. Damn that Hitler. Once again they stole my spoils of war.
-Well we get Stockholm and all their resources. That should be even something. One of commander tell linque.
A little while President is quiet and seems to listen someone. Then he says.
-All right then, but main kampf is no forbidden book in Finland. Order every copy to be burned.
Commander shudders as presidents gaze pierces him. There is no human feelings in those eyes. They are like two empty wells of emotions.

[linque]

Silent Room

Winston Churchill was sitting comfortable in soft sofa at royal palace on England. War was living its own life, there has not been any changes in any way in six months. Even the tea that he was drinking tasted perfect.
Servant enters and brings his news paper. It says 1.7.1945 and then he read the head news and almost drowns in his tea.



There is lot of explosions and artillery fire in Viipuri where Mannerheim is talking his commanders.
-Report. How we are progressing?
-Resistance is too strong. We can’t break leningrads defences. One of commanders say.
-And on the other fronts? Mannerheim asks.
-No chance. There is huge amount of divisions defending. Second commander tells him.
-Then push harder. President wants to see some success for while.
-We have attacked twice. This campaing is insane. First commander argued.
-I didn’t ask what you think just to do what you are told. Mannerheim yelled.



On third try Finnish forces broke the defenders spirit. And the invasion of Leningrad started. Finnish infantry was storming in to streets. All russian troops with little luck fleed to near provinces.
Mannerheim Was following this all in front line. He thought that president will be proud of him as captain approaches.
-What about enemy divisions that we have surrounded?
-Orders where quite short. President ordered starvation and death. Take no prisoners. Mannerheim ansers.
-Yes sir!


Month later as all near provinces where secured and palace was repaired. The president linque arraived to his new command place. It was specially build ask he was asked. It was one huge room where was bed and all he needed. There was only two exits in that room. One to main hall and other in to small empty locked room.
President gives a messenger an letter and says.
-Send this to Berlin.
-Yes sir!


At white house where Americans are keeping war meeting there is president Truman present.
-Give me latest reports from that insane Finnish assault against soviets.



-Is there anything that we can do to help soviets? Presidents asks
-Axis controls near seas. There is nothing we can do. They are on their own.


Servant knocks presidents door at his palace in Leningrad. There is no answer. He knocks again. Still no answer. Slowly he opens door. Room is empty. This should not be possible he thinks. There should be president with company. He didn’t see anyone to leave.
Suddenly Linque enters the room from that smaller room. He’s wiping his hands in towel. There is something dark and wet on them. Light is too dim to see correctly.
-Are you alone? Shall I send another one? Servant asks.
-Yes please. President answers with sweet voice and chilling gaze.

Song of the Angels

There were frozen bodies everywhere all in macabre position. In same position as they were when they died. Raining of snow was hidden their nationality, so no one know anymore which side each of them once belonged.
Finnish army was once again marching in this cold and huge continent. Riding in front of troops mannerheim has already informed about success of presidents plans. Germans were retreating under soviet initial assault .
Road was still long. Germans got huge armies and also quite much nearer position to those industrial provinces. Race has started he toughed and wondered how the president suddenly was becoming even better strategist.

Continuing slowly to advance with the help of special forces the Finnish were coming in hearth of winter.



Servant of president couldn’t sleep. He was thinking that locked room. He has thinked it many months now. It was time to take a look. Curiosity was too much for him. He could not even think about his new young wife. The room was all in his mind. He has to know.
Silently he opened the presidents room. It was dark in there. One candle was alit on table casting shadows everywhere. With the skills of illegal past he picked the lock. He didn’t see figure sitting on shadows.
There was odd smell on room that made him almost vomit. His feet hit on something and he found it with his hands. Rising it in little candle light he see the gore cut off head of human with small white maggots crawling from empty eye sockets. He tries to scream, but there no voice. Blade from behind has slit his vocal cords.
Shadow president standing behind him doesn’t hear servants last grotesk noises. He was listening loud song of those angels. He was blessing the day when he lost sverdlovsk and the angels started to call him. Those small white pretty angels.

Valentine

Hitler was sitting alone in his room and drinking good wine when servant enters. Servant is bringing him a letter from Finnish president.
Hitler sniffs. That sorry ass loser of Finland is once again asking some resources or proposing some idiotic deal that he has to accept cos’ of alliance. He opens te letter and reads it.



Hitler throws his glass into wall and curses linque to bottom of hell. servant enters again.
-Is there something you need. He asks
There is loud bang of luger and no more servant.

In the huge Soviet union Mannerheim is trying to outrun Germans with little success.
-We can’t go through german provinces. Let’s try another way. He orders
But he has forgotten really how big that country is. He’s too late

At his palace in leningrad president lingue is thinking why he couldn’t Annex soviot union as one high ranked officer enters.
-Prepare my plane. I’m moving my headquarters in sverdlovsk. Linque says.
-We didn’t get it. We were too slow. Officer answers and that is last understable word that he ever says as shadow president strikes his blade into groins and turns.


-There is urgent message from Truman, Sir! Winton hears as his having a lunch at royal palace.
-This must be important. Don’t you idiot see that I’m eating? Churchill answers.
-Soviet union is no more.
-Are you drunk? What you mean by that?
-Axis has Annexed soviet union. There is bad rumours about happening in there.
Suddenly Winstons has lost his will to eat.



Shadow president is laying in his bed. There is smile on his face. The song from his private room is telling what to do. Those lovely angelic commands.

[Tribulation]

Will you be editing Bitter Peace should it fire?

EDIT: Never mind.

Dinner at Berlin


There was yearly party of axis leader once again. Hitler was having a party for his supporters. As custom all were bringing gifts ant one was paying all out. This year it was Finland’s turn to throw up party.
Leader of various axis countries started to arrive one day before and there was hitlers secretary Karl waiting to welcome them. There was rumour that there was more between hitler and karl that meat the eye.

Next day there were the banquet. Everyone was just talking about axis desert war and that didn’t sound good in linques ears. Has everyone forgotten what he has done. Dosen’t they remember his greatness.
There were many delicious foods to eat at dinner. The bratwurst was especially good.
-This is one good damn good bratwurst. Hitler said
-Thanks. I made it specially for you this morning my self.
-This may be the compensation of you inactivity in last year.
-Thank you for your mercy. Linque says with little smile on his face.

Later that evening when the drinking has started and hitler if little dizzy he yells.
-Karl where are you? Have anyone seen him today.
Everyone shakes their heads as President of finland heads toward doors.

Linque whispers quetly. So only he can hear.
-He’s nearer to you that you belive.
He laughs out loud as he kicks doors open. There is plans to make and wars to create. Angels were calling.


-More grave news sir. Commander says.
-What now. Winston answer with tired voice
-Finnish army is on the move. Is the silent answer.
-Where are those maniacs going this time?
-we don’t know. They move in heart of axis. We couldn’t get any info, but our spies stole their future production plans.
-Oh my god. They are going someday for their fifth….Winston says with painful voice

Nightmare Legion

Showers of stone were flying in air as finnish artillery battered mountains. There was only particaly visible camouflaged troops moving upwards as regular infantry gived cover fire. CAS planes where closing as tactical bomber headed deeper into main land to attack reinforcements. War in Spain has begun.

Few days later mannerheim gives an order.
-Execute the presidental plan. Release Nightmare legion.





Winston Churchill heard the news from spain.
-Reinforce gibraltar. He ordered.
Army commander looked serious and answered.
-Too late. Finland has occupied gibraltar already.
-Isn’t there end of these bad news? Winston asks.
-I don’t think so. Finland DoW:ed portugal strait after that. I fear that they are no more.

Word from author

Today at night 1.30 i declared that game was ended so remaining chapters should be released later this week. Don't miss them. I'm quite sure that you shall like the ending

Confession of my sins.

I reloaded once. My initial alliance with germany didn't work. I wanted to see could it be done
MY punishment:That hard drive space ended and i did have to play 3 years again. If i would have started again. I would not have to lose those provinces in winter war.

I reloaded two times when i found out how nightmare division worked. First try they landed they we killed immidietly, but i noticed that province was finnish after that. Then i tried to nearer province with help of support fire from my troops. Province went to Vichy France. Third time i calculated little and it was success.
My punishment:Try your self to play as minor country with 667 prosessor, 196 mg memory and 9 gb of hard drive. You can't say that playing over and over again was not called fast. I could go for smoke and notice that meanwhile there was some three to five days past with max speed. I could even say that hole game was one slow punishment. Because of those long waiting when armies marched i lost long time ago gaining free blue prints from germany cos' i didn't answer their message. Last two years i played even without their resource help cos' of same thing.

add on:My game crashed three times a row when i tried to anex spain.I thought thet my puny computer has meet its max capacity, but i could annex later on so there may be something strange in there.Also i could not annex soviet union, but i took last two of key provinces. Some one who knows why could tell me. was it cos' germany got more key provinces(not sure, but i belive they had) or cos' they got moscow?

Payback

At border of Islamic world there was 5 soldiers patrolling. Four young ones and older corporal.
One of the younger ones spotted something with his binoculars.
-There is movement. I think they are soldiers, but I don’t know which nations signs those are.
-Let me see. Corporal says.
After a while he his mouth opens wide.
-What a Fuck. What are Finnish soldiers doing here?
Answer is as short as his remaining life time.

Invasion of Turkey has begun.

Finnish paratroopers land on Erzerus and now they find out where their name comes. Brittish and Turks massacre them to last man. It’s nightmare hard to stay alive behind enemy lines.
But they did what was their job. And the assault is razing fiercely.



After one month of hard Fighting there is only one solution.



Commander of Brittish African force has been informed about what has happened and he smiles as he faces lesser commander.
-Let them come if they dare. We let them taste our Tanks.

[linque]

Desert weasel

Mannerheim think that this is something that president would like as pay back. Now germans would have to attack through finnish lands to invade middle-east. After little waiting he notices what germans are doing. Absolutely nothing. Oh hell, have to go by my self again. He thinks.

After long desert war there is finaly some improvement. One german panzer. Mannerheim cheer for that most huge help that he’s getting.



Bloody is the road of war and after many fought battles enemy leaders are starting to call mannerheim with nickname Desert weasel. At Suez mannerheim calls bombers to join in.



Enemy sends panzers, but they can only slow finnish advance minimal amount. There is match for Finnish fury. It seems that all the Germans have already gone somewhere. Those cowards can’t handle what Finnish can.



One day later after war has quieted cos’ mannerheim dosen’t see any good provinces to attack he get letter from winston churchill. He reads it twice and yells.
-prepare my plane, I have to go to Leningrad at once.

[linque]

Last Glimps of light

Linque was sitting at his table. There was harmonic smile on his face. Angelic message was clear singing his triumph. He couldn’t hear anything other that songs from heaven. He never heard anyone enter. Then he felt something was strangling him from behind. He tried to kick, but table was on his way. He tried to fight, but attacker was too strong. He felts his life force fading away.

Mannerheim watched linque to take his last breath and finaly he see little light on them as they close. Same light that there were before this madness started. In the end he may have felt some human feeling.

He studies the table and there it is. Pieces of ripped paper. This was the reason why he returned. Same note that he recived from winston. Peace offer from allies. He knew that president would turn it down. Everyone else that linque was getting tired to this continous war. Now finaly there was change of peace.

There is also some other letter. It says only.
-All is set.
No signature, how strange.

Well it was time to prepare for peace conference. As he left the room he remembered presidents archievements.

[linque]

Burned Candle

There it was, moment the world has waited. Finally there would be peace. All allied leaders and axis leader were ready to sing this paper. War had been too long and too expensive.
This was all happening in Switcerland cos’ of its neutrality. All was set and everyone was sitting at huge table.
-Let us sing this last hope for world. Churchill annoused.
And everyone applauded.

Big door where slammed open and messenger entered.
-There has been nuclear explosion at london.
-WHAT!! WHO!! Winston yelled.
-It came from lands of axis.
Then there was lots of shouting.
-Execute operation Apocalypse now. Truman yelled
-Arm all missiles. This was a trap. Winston ordered.

As mannerheim was watching chaos around him. He noticed that Hitler was looking shocked. If he was not behind this then who would be such a madman. He tought as he left the conference to get fast airplane to get back to Finland. Maybe he would be there in time to say goodbye to his wife.








And shadow president of Finland was laughing satanic laughter at pits of hell as the candle of worlds life time ended.
