“Soon, our Workers and Peasants' Navy will have a mighty fleet that will sail on the oceans fighting the Reactionary navies whatever waters they go. The Baltic will be our port and the straits will be our gateway to the oceans.”
- Nikolai Kuznetzov. Grand Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Russia.

The Gateway to the Oceans
Throughout Germany, the grave news of the fallen city and the lack of news regarding their beloved kaiser have dealt a major blow to the morale of the people. The imperial army, however, is still holding on, hoping that they can still regain their capital city and rescue the kaiser if he was captured by the disgusting Reds. The capture of Berlin also provided some leverage against the French if they were to negotiate the future of the defeated country.
After a few days of rest and celebration, the armour column, dubbed as “the golden mace of the Red Army” named after the previous successful operation, crossed the Elbe River, thrust towards Wolfsburg and swing north to Lubeck, encircling the army in Rostock in the process.
---------------------
Soviet technology and intellect triumph once more. New message decryption devices created by the People's Commissariat for Armament were now in used in the Soviet military, the NKGB and the GRU. The PeoCo for Technology and the PeoCo for Trade and Industry have made new advancement on improving the oil industry and the factories as well. Lastly, Alexander Novikov from the airforce in collaboration with Colonel Margelov, the founder of the new Red Guards, have made a material on how to use bombers on attacking supplies lines more efficiently and also came up with the standard training and procedure on making airborne assaults for the Red Guards. So far, the Red Guards have only manages seaborne small party raids on Coalition coastlines. The expansion of the Red Guards from a battalion size force to a corp size force is still on-going.
In Britain, the Central Council shuffle continues

The first nine days of September for the Germans in the North were quite intense as the Soviet armour failed to expel the forces in Lubeck. Two divisions in Rostock rushed to the south in Magdeburg in order to isolate the Soviet tanks but they failed to isolate them with the new supply lines going through Leipzig. The German army in Rostock starts an orderly retreat to Lubeck to avoid envelopment, unfortunately for them, the Red Army in Stralsund exploited the situation and start harassing the retreating army. The two divisions in Magdeburg didn't make the escape and surrendered.
The temporary military government is now situated in Munich and just received a message from Vienna that the government and the Imperial Family are still alive and in good health. It salvage a bit of the morale lost. The military government will now receive orders from Vienna on their next actions.
The frontlines of the 9th of September 1940. Only a small strip of land in the centre remains that keeps the weaker army in the North still in contact with the stronger army in the South.
After the hefty celebration, the war against the Coalition goes on.
The Soviets also received news that the Swedish army have sent a huge majority of its armed forces to Germany now that its borders are secure. Austrian troops were also spotted fighting in German lands. The Hungarians remain uncooperative.
Operation Beta, the capture of the Danish straits, continues on with another urban battle for Lubeck. Strangely, some divisions within the defenders seem not to be dugged-in and were actually leaving the city. In the 14th of September 1940, the defenders were pushed out and Lubeck, the last German port in the Baltic was captured.
The Soviet high command have predicted that the Coalition were pouring their troops to the Central German strip to keep it open.
In September 18, the Danish government have fled Copenhagen to Sweden. The Danish army were in Germany and are now under German leadership. Even without an official surrender, Operation Beta was a success and the Danish Proletariat were free from their masters' chains. Three Soviet divisions will stay in Copenhagen to defend the city and the straits from the Swedes.
A week later a German attack on Kiel was repelled and Soviet tanks nearly captured Hamburg but a swift counter-attack from the enemy made the Soviets fall back and the city remains contested. The Soviets were pushed out off Dresden but the lost of the city was forgotten for a moment when finally, for the first time, the French and Russian troops met in the city of Hof, located between Soviet Leipzig and French Schweinfurt. The meeting of the two unstoppable forces isolated the Coalition army in the North.
According to intel from both French and Russian sides, the best guess they took is that there are an astounding 45 German, Danish, Swedish and Austrian divisions! The commander of the Coalition army in the North refused to surrender its forces, still holding on religiously that their brothers from the South will come and rescue them.
The trapped Coalition army holds their position despite low in supplies and equipment.
Socialists submarines and war planes have destroyed all convey ships in Bremen and the Swedish (and the confiscated Norwegian) merchant navy were taking heavy damages.
The meeting in Hof created new enthusiasm within the Socialist Front. Celebrations were held in the city where the French-Russian borders meet. The Russians were so eager with the French on destroying the Coalition army in the North but just below the solidarity and unity of the Socialist Front, cracks began to show again, both new and old. The Syndicalists were not pleased with the Soviet capture of Berlin, at least, they don't openly show that they weren't. The doctrinal differences is not forgotten and the Syndicalists and the Bolsheviks both consider the other as Pseudo-Socialist states. The speculation that Germany will be occupy by two powers were now certain and its post-war future is in limbo.
