We join, aware that the fall of France would be the end of Syndicalism everywhere. Portugal and Mozambique join aswell, although the later stands litle chance against Mittleafrika.
The war would not be decided in the jungles of Africa anyhow, but in the now frozen forests of the German-French border. Those looked like this as we officialized our alliance. The French atack on Belgium would be successful.
Transport of troops to the continent starts at once, with the Union sudently realising how daft it had been not to built an extra TP. 5 is a terrible number. An extra series of it, together with 3 more series of infantry, are ordered, and more would be, if we weren't sudently facing dire resource flow problems from the trade with France, Sicily, Russia, Norway and our Portuguese and Mozambique friends.
At once are also the fleets sent to the Seas. The Channel is blocked at once. Poor Herr Donitz is found with a handful of unescorted transports.
Before the end of the day, with those 4 transports sunk, the first major naval confrontation would happen, as the Worker's Pride Fleet is atacked by the German Navy near the Mouth of the Thames. Such a strong force near the british shores is a bitter reminder of how needed it was for us to face the Imperialist Beast together with our French comrades.
The Red Torch and Hammer fleets are sent, but the first ones arriving to aid our Carriers are the fleets transporting our troops to France. Later, the French Fleet arrives aswell. The combined forces in international solidarity drive away the Keizer's hand! But his forces remain intact...
...so the two Battleship fleets are sent on his persuit, hoping to take the slowest ships of the retreating german force. They find more then they bargained for though.
The Worker's Moral Superiority fears not the numbers, and the germans are again beaten back by our sailors and our glorious new syndicalist guns, such as only Free Men could build!
As the fleets sail forward and send reports of what they see, the government is at awe - the imperialist dogs desdain the worker's state so much, and stand in their arrogance in such a manner, that they actualy left their northen shores undefended. Before they can correct their ways, the first boarded divisions the goverment can find are sent to Helgoland Bight. Those happen to be our only armored army, previously on it's way to France.
Sudently realising the danger they face, Germany and her allies send wave after wave of atacks on our ships, especialy when our tanks start their disenbark on Kiel.
Their old ships are no match for us, and when the tanks are just 2 hours away from a complete disenbark... orders arrive from London to cancel the action!
The reason?
The Government felt that if we were going to take advantage of the Keizer's artificial intelect, at least we should do it in a more realistic manner. Tanks beeing disenbarked on the same province as the German Navy is docked in rather strange. They then moved the disenbark point to Kolding, as the Republican Navy protected the action by shoting at anything that came from the Kiel Yards.
As soon as that happened, the battleships are sent to block any atempts at passage to the baltic, the reserve fleet is sent to help for awhile the continous transfer of army units to France - where the front remained literaly frozen - and the tanks are ordered to march south to capture the Kiel Harbour, so we can preform quick disenbarks and instal a larger army force in northen Germany.
And then this.
