The Brazillian Job
The Empire continues its South American liberation from the non-tea drinking partisans that enslave its people and force them to drink...erm...other things, and not have tiffin! Sir Bindon Blood marches east to the Atlantic through our newest nemesis Brazil! Brazil is a tough nut to crack, but Sir Blood has a good pair of nut crackers and ample forces to use them, we hope that by 1907/08 the whole of Southern America will have converted to Tea and Tiffin. Meanwhile back in the jewel of the Empire, dear old Blighty, Cody finally made it to the ground, but has refused to go back up again, so for now he's taking in the sights and sounds of 1900s Birmingham. Another boffin has come up with the idea of taking our battleships and putting lots and lots of steel and guns on them, when asked if that wouldn't make them sink, he replied 'Well then I have invented the uboat!' Not expecting much in the way of success, the Admiralty labeled the project 'Dread-0' but there was a communication problem and somehow it got renamed 'Dreadnought', the first vessel in the class HMS London will be commissioned in 1907, and if it floats will be the first in a new series of battleships. Meanwhile, King Edward No, not that one: That's the one. King Edward has impressed upon Whitehall the need for military reforms, so to keep him happy some research into new Battle Doctrines has taken place, when he heard the news it is reported that His Majesty lit up a cigar in celebration, and then another for luck, and then another for the road. According to some sources, his Majesty smokes some twenty cigarettes and twelve cigars a day... Wait a minute... SPY SAPPIN MAH MONARCHY!! Last edited by Oberon; 07-28-09 at 04:41 PM. |

Ah, I see, they're being modest in victory then as well. What with the -75% combat efficiency modifier for extra divisions over the command limit...

The climax of the South American campaign
The Empire begins the final stages of the South American campaign with the annexation of Argentina and the moving of forces into position to deal with Chile and Uruguay. Following that it will be Cuba, Haiti and possibly Mexico who will be introduced to Tea The book 'How to fight with Infantry and guns' was sent out to the commanders in the field along with a promotion, now they are operating at optimum efficiency. Although it was reported that Lt. Gen Haig has rewritten the book as 'How to fight with Infantry as guns'... Meanwhile back in Blighty, the 'Dread-0' production has been completed, the ship rolled down the gangplank at Portsmouth and to the complete surprise of all present, it did not sink. HMS London, March 1907 Following this surprise discovery, First Lord of the Admiralty Sir John Fisher advocated a design incorporating speed and firepower, but he was not listened to, now that it had been proven that you could slap tonnes of armour onto a ship and not have it sink, the Admirals wanted the heaviest, most armoured ships available. Nevertheless, Admiral Fishers idea of 'Battlecruisers' is being looked into by our boffins. Another idea came about from a young Army captain in the cavalry who had witnessed the launching of HMS London and who was an avid reader of the scientific romance author Herbert George Wells. H.G Wells had in his novel 'The Land Ironclads' described: Quote:
Major General Sir Ernest Dunlop Swinton was approached by the young man and he in turn put forward the idea to the army generals who would have discredited the idea had not the intrepid Field Marshall Sir Bindon Blood been visiting from South America, Sir Blood heard of the idea and admitted that if worked right, it might be an invaluable tool. Chiefs of the Army are very skeptical, however Sir Blood has a strong hold in the British Army following his leadership and successfull military campaigns, rumour indeed has it that he is looking for a senior position within Whitehall at his senior age of sixty-five. Candidates for taking over his position as highest ranked officer are Lt. Gen Douglas Haig, Lt. Gen John Nixon and Lt. Gen Prince Arthur, The Duke of Connaught. Haig - The South American pigeon MURDERER!! Nixon - 'Supplies, what are those?' Prince Arthur - His Royal Highness The Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, Earl of Sussex, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Extra Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Knight of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Extra Knight Grand Commander of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, Knight Grand Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, Grand Master and Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, General of the Militia of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. For Britannia! |
