Thanks MC!
Next batch:
An unlikely alliance
"Gentlemen, the NATO threat is looming. Our attempts to pacify them have failed. It's time to respond to their threats of force with our own actions. We have already met with Coalition and TEA officials, and they agree. We share a common enemy in NATO, and a common ally in the Banking Clan. With a common threat to group against, England may yet be united.
If we're all agreed, then it's time. We mobilize.
Send the word."
"
They are going to invade us. That's a
fact. This is a preemptive strike. Think about it. With three forces against them in France, why would they send troops to England? They would lose France, and likely Germany as well. Those are good chunks of western Europe."
{It is the most logical course.}
"YEAH! Come on, listen to Axel and Bolt! Come on you old farts, we invade them or they invade us!"
"You're not exactly helping her cause... but... I see where you're going with this."
"Yeah, it's a bit interventionalist- but they intervened first. Well, CLB did."
"Yeah, speaking of which-"
"I already talked to Coalition and New Britain officials."
"...You
WHAT?!"
"We have a common enemy, and they all see that. These years of civil war have been tiring, even they agree. Just because we have different ideals, shouldn't make us enemies."
"..."
"If you don't want to come, don't. But I'm going."
"Screw it. Let's do it."
"...I'm with you."
"Sure. Why the heck not."
{Naturally, I am in. In fact, I hope to take part personally.}
"Yeah."
"Yep."
"Heck yeah I'm in! LONG LIVE THE FREEDOM REVOLUTIOOOON!"
"...I'm still gonna sit this one out."
"And that's your decision. See you when we get back."
"We have a common enemy."
"Those are the words that these three generals shake by. In the most unbelievable news story I've ever heard of, the Coalition of Loyalist British, New Britain, and even the True English Army are all allying, and joining forces for CLB's NATO-French invasion!"
"Yes, that's right, it seems completely unprecedented, but think about it! The conflicts here in England have really died down lately. Nobody seems to want to fight each other now. And it was always a clean war, we had the civilian states from the beginning, and everyone respected that."
"Still, to drop everything like they have..."
"But they haven't that's what I'm saying! I think this has been brewing for a while, before we even got into external politics. In fact, I'd even go so far as to suggest that we got into external politics to have an outlet for all of this violence besides each other."
"Interesting theory. What do you think will happen, though, now that the country is virtually empty?"
"Well, I've heard rumors that the Queen will push the Governmental Faction's neutrality to cover the entire country. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it seems likely."
"Quite so. We'll just have to wait and see. But we're just about out of time for this slot- in fact, there's our warning buzz. Tune in later to hear more. Farewell for now!"
"Goodbye and good night. This is Her Majesty's News, signing off."
New Britain and TEA join the invasion, sending a huge percentage of their troops into NATO-France to aid the Coalition in its push for the capital, Marseille.
