*Austrian headquarters in Tarragona, Spain, late summer 1936*
Mola Vidal:
Stand up, you lazy bastards!
von Jansa: Ahh, field marshal Mola Vidal. What a pleasant surprise.
Mola Vidal:
It's my pleasure!
Kubina: *mumbles* It's not ours, now that's for sure...
Mola Vidal:
I will get straight to the point. We are going to assault the Barcelona pocket tomorrow at nul seven hundred! German artillery shoots for exactly 10 and a half minutes and then Austro-Spanish forces rush towards enemy lines! We expect the enemy to number around 50.000 men with heavy armoured contingent! Our airforce is busy elsewhere so no help from the skies! Are there any questions!?
Zehner: No.
Mola Vidal:
Good! Prepare your forces and instruct your officers! Pisar la communismo!
von Jansa: Yes, pisar and stuff....
Kubena: Why does he have to yell at us?
Zehner: Well, that's Mola Vidal for you. He is a cruel and senseless man.
Emilio Moda Vidal, one of Franco's most trusted minions
Kubena: *sobs* Is it because I am not clever enough?
von Jansa: There, there Johan. It's all going to be all right.
Kubena: *sobs* I...I wanna go home!
von Jansa: There, there, Johan. We all do. But you need to calm down. Think of the flowers. You like flowers, don't you? Ooooh, you LOVE flowers!
Kubena: *smiles a bit* Flowers are pretty. They are good.
Zehner: Did you know that the communists hate flowers? They kill all the flowers they see! They can't stand flowers! They want to rid the world off flowers!
von Jansa: Yes, and that is why we are fightning here in Spain now! To kill Communists and save flowers!
Kubena: Thanks guys, my passion for murder and torture returned. *wipes off tears*
Ok, time to tell the lads what we'r up to, eh?
Zehner: *grins* It's good to have you back.
von Jansa: *a grenade whistling is heard*
GET DOWN!
*the tent around them blows up as grenade explodes right next to it. The three generals save themselves under the table*
Zehner: Are you guys ok?
von Jansa: I'm fine.
Kubena: Yeah, me too. Just a little scratch on my arm.
Random Austrian soldier: The communists, the communists are attacking!
*more explosions are heard*
A random picture to make the update seem longer
von Jansa: Quick! You two must go to the Spanish headquarters and alarm them!
Kubena: But...
von Jansa: No buts! You must go and counter-attack the communist flank with Spanish forces!
Zehner: We won't leave you here alone. We can't. We shall stand here with you!
von Jansa: No! You must go and get reinforcements! Don't worry about me, I have defensive doctrine and I am lt. general so I can command our 3 divisions myself! Now go with haste!
*the two generals leave*
Now marshal Miaja Menant, it is just you and me. And 80.000 soldiers. Soldiers, take positions! Weihlmann, take your brigade to the forest east of us and be prepared to strike! Hickenbauer, your men will watch Weihlmann's rear! And stop that sniggering!
Miaja Menant, the man responsible for Republican armies of Barcelona
And so it begins, Miaja Menant. And so it begins.
*covers as a grenade explodes few meters from him*
*meanwhile in Spanish headquarters*
Kubena: Mola Vidal! We need to see Mola Vidal!
Secretary: I am sorry but he is busy and not seeing visitors.
Zehner: *grabs secretary from shoulders and shakes her*
But we must see him! The republicans are attacking at our positions and they will soon break through from the encirclement unless we hurry!
Secretary: I am sorry but I have strict orders...
*Zehner pushes her backwards and runs towards the office and opens the door*
Mola Vidal: And you, Little Red Riding Hood, what do you think of me?
*impersonates Little Red Riding Hood*
Well, I believe you are super awesome and sweet! You are handsome and wise! And you make great tea! *puts a tea cup on the lips of Little Red Riding Hood - doll*
Ahh, thank you Little Red Riding Hood, you make me blush.
*impersonates Cinderella*
But she is right. You are so brave and handsome!
A Cinderella doll
*notices Zehner and Kubena*
Krhm, I...the war stresses me...I relax....my mother didn't love me...
Zehner: Look, we don't care about your little play
*sees a Snow White - doll with all clothes rippen off her*
Oh Christ, that's sick!
Mola Vidal: Krhm
*drinks a glass of water*
Why are you here, you lazy bastards!?
Kubena: The republicans, they are attacking our positions! Von Jansa tries to delay them but he cannot hold out for too long. We need to go and help him before it is too late!
Mola Vidal:
You go and inform the officers! I...have some urgent things to do! I will be joining you in 30 minutes!
*Kubena and Zehner run off to inform Spanish officers*
Zehner: What a creep.
Kubena: And to think I was upset because of him....
*meanwhile in the battle*
von Jansa: Artillery, bomb sector twelve! Bauer, pull your men back to our defensive line! Hausmann, Geldenegger, take your men to forest to support Weihlmann and try to encircle the Republican spearhead!
*a cold, dark voice*
Stop, von Jansa!
von Jansa: Ahh, Miaja Menant. I have been expecting you.
*draws his sword and charges. Miaja Menant mimicks*
von Jansa: You cursed Republicans, you cannot win this war!
Miaja Menant: Silence, you fool! The Republic is too strong for you petty fascist scum! And now, you shall die!
*the swords hit each other creating a huge burst of energy. A vortex forms above them and sucks the two opposing leaders in. Only heated swords remain on the ground*
*few hours later, the Spanish reinforcements had arrived and saved the Austrian forces while Republican army is retreating back towards Barcelona*
Zehner: We...did it. But at what cost?
Kubena: A horrible slaughter. Just the way I like it. Say, where is von Jansa?
Zehner: *a panic strikes the man*
I...don't know! Soldier, where is general Alfred von Jansa?
Soldier: We haven't heard about him for a few hours, sir!
Zehner: This...can't be true. Alfred can't die! He is too strong!
*10 minutes later, Zehner and Kubena find the swords on the ground*
Zehner: *takes the sword from the ground*
This...this is Alfred's sword! I...I can't believe he is dead.
*falls to his knees*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kubena: I know this hurts. You and Alfred were such good friends.
Zehner: He...he was my best friend! I...I loved him! In the non-gay way, of course.
Kubena: You must be strong, Wilhelm. The Republicans are retreating, their defences are not organized, their armies weakened. Now is the time to attack! We cannot waste time. We must destroy the Republican pocket once and for all! That's what Alfred would have wanted.
Zehner: I...I quess you are right. I must revenge the death of my friend! Onwards, soldiers! The day is not over yet! We still have Communists to kill! Onwards, my soldiers! Revenge the death of Alfred von Jansa!
*the soldiers start cheering*
