The War That Transcends Timelines - 137 Defences

Time: 1958, (20 years after the Battle)

Location: Capitol

POV: Agent Nr. 2

”All agents prepare for contact in 3 minutes!” I shouted to the Agents preparing the defences, it was completely silent on the B23 line after 2 minutes pass we could hear a deep rumbling coming from the distance. ”FEAR NOT SOLDIERS! WE ARE AT THE SIDE OF JUSTICE!” I shouted to the soldiers before continuing with a small pause, ”IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!” I bellowed as the motorised armies appeared in front of us.

”This is the 4th Defensive Army, we request you remove this blockade and let us pass, this is a direct order of the President!” The General in Charge of the army said full of confidence. I just looked at him before glancing at my entranced agents, ”We are ordered by the Supreme Commander to not let a single man pass, please understand that his order has priority over yours.” I replied flatly, the general’s face paled, ”FIRE!” I ordered right before the General was going to shout it, the MGs unleashed their firepower while the ATGMs (Anti-Tank Guided Missiles) made their way towards the tanks.

The tanks rolled forward as they ATGMs hit their armour, sadly the ATGMs were still not updated since 1955, while the tanks of the Defensive army were updated regularly, with the latest being from 1958, the E50 Ausf. H. ‘Fuck, why did they get the good equipment and we the outdated one!’ I cursed the imbalance, ”RELEASE!” I shouted seeing the failure, large amounts of poisonouschemicals started to be released from the side vents, but they were invisible to the naked eye and has no smell, the agents were daring as they counted down the time needed for the gas to approximately arrive at their positions, when they counted to 60 seconds did they immediately pull up the gas mask that was hanging around their neck, connecting the seals of their suit and activating their air cylinder.

The General reacted quickly ”GAS! GAS! GAS!” He shouted. The Tanks already had everything sealed so were safe, but the Soldiers needed to quickly put on their gas masks, the General entered his own Command IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) that was protected from the gas. But for the front line, it was already too late, the soldiers coughed up blood while their eyes roll backwards, 10 seconds later they die. More than 50, 000 soldiers were affected, with 45,000 dying and the other 5,000 being severely injured. The General was outraged and ordered the full assault of the enemy defences.

”Activate tertiary Defence mechanisms!” I ordered, there was a solid reason to make the suits of the agents airtight… It was only a split second, but the agents lowered behind their covers, stabbing hooks in the ground grabbing them tightly. ”BOOM!” The gas was exploded when mixed with another compound that was released, the explosive force swept over the Agents, but being tightly bound and the suits being heat resistant they suffered only minor injuries, while the enemy army was overwhelmed, the Tanks, IFVs and APC were still fine internally, while externally parts were burned through. Many soldiers died on the spot, while many others were screaming in agony as the gas masks were burned to their faces, their clothing burned through or their lungs burned internally.

It was hell on earth, the air dry and full of a weird gas, ”ADVANCE!” I shouted, we stepped over our covers, heavy breathing came from us as we walked through the debris, ”HELP ME!” Some soldiers shouted as we walked forwards every man we saw we shot through their heads to end their suffering, we stepped on the Vehicles, opening the hatches, ”STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLES!” I shouted through a loudspeaker, the Men manning them walked out burning their hands while coughing hard as they breathed in the bad air.

We detained them before shipping them on trains to Prison, the army was quickly subdued with the excellent defences, the agents only suffered minor injuries to their bodies, with 2 being wounded heavily from soldiers returned fire.

I got into contact with my superior, ”This is Agent 2, Rebellion subdued effective!”

”All Agents you have come here today as a ceremony, it has been 30 years of service for many of you, and it is time for us to let you go of your duty. Some of you will be sent to the Confed to help them organise resistance, while others will become BlackHands, but never forget where you came from!” I saluted the old agents as they retreated back into the darkness, 10,000 were discharged today. ”Now let us welcome the new recruits!” I shouted after the older agents left.

10,000 energetic agents entered the room full of pride, I looked over them with a stern gaze, but when I swept over a few men my heart almost stopped beating, ‘Those are men from both Rudolf and Rommel! We have been compromised!’ I cursed in my heart, but didn’t let it show. ‘It has only been about 20 years, is that the interval that I need to show you the Marshall’s power?!?’ I was annoyed again.
