I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how displeased I am right now.

Expect Lithuania to be bombed into oblivion by the time The People's Flag gets to the Second Great War! Hmph!

In seriousness, a very good update. Well-written and an ingenius description of the final days of the Union - as with most experiments with socialism, it descended into rule by a disinterested Military Junta. May the Union be vindicated by history...

"never invoke the fury of a woman.... or an englishman" I don't know who said that but someone surely have:D

Now in all seriousness, glad to see something of Montgomery as he is one of my favorites in this time-period (closely followed by Mannerheim)

oh a BTW the upper part of the post is a joke and do in no way describe my view on englishmen or woman´s

Was it intentional that Montgomery referred to the Navy as the "Royal Navy"? I would assume that the Union had renamed it to the "Union Navy" or something similar?

It's another great update, and a nice end to UoB.

Republican Navy. In the Kaiserreich canon, anyway.

to KaiserMuffin:
*hands a toothpick*

to Karaiskandar:
It is, even though in a mutated form...

to Lord Strange:
Because Germans don't do charity and have their own interests, just as Karaiskandar said before me. Don't worry, everything can change in the future.

to Meadow:
There are more revolutionary Kaiserreich AARs than counterrevolutionary, so what I'm doing here is providing diversity! :D

to henkalv:
What the King will do with his country is still unclear, and the Germans cannot exercise full control over him - trouble is brewing in the South.

to Legolas:
Monty had a slip of tongue here. Concerning UoB military commanders, I can understand why some nobles are there - in OTL, a few Russian nobles and top military elite quickly swore allegiance to the Reds, but Montgomery, born into a religious family, a combat veteran, wouldn't follow the Union politicians and their orders. It doesn't fit in my picture of him.

However, Aleksei Brusilov, the mastermind behind the only successful Russian operation of WW1, chose to fight for the Reds when excrements hit the ventilation in 1917, even though he was a staunch monarchist...

Thanks a lot for the comments, everyone. :D

Well another great update, just read through it...but I understand the Montgomery thinking part, I think about him the same as you do. I think it would be kind of realistic (within alternative history in HOI 2 Kaiserreich limits :rofl:) how this happened, the Germans surely want a divided nation to limit the strength of the Island and still it is nice how a kind of Confederation of the English will work out...:D

Can't wait to get back into India :p and finish business overthere XD

but still nice dialogues...hell....I love them :cool:

As usual, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but it's time for exams and during the examination period I try to restrict my access to the Internet and other entertainment. Thanks for your understanding, Speak Lithuanian or Die will resume somewhere around 20th June. :cool:

Indeed, you're welcome. This is an awesome AAR and the award is well deserved.

As for help about Lithuania and Lithuanians - any time you need it :)
