1 The War Which We Will Never See (1/2)
Time, time does not care, care who will die and who will live, time, intangible, unknown, what is time?
I question myself that every day ever since I got transported and transported and transported over and over again.
I walk forwards in my trenchcoat covering my body while a gas mask covers my face.
Behind me was the 2nd Panzer Army, Flanked by 2 of my advisors the massive army was moving over the French plains ready for combat.
What stretches before me, should be the calm French plains, I should have passed beautiful German cities, the grass should be green and trees should be showing vibrant colours. But that is not what is shown, instead I walk on the ash-covered ground. Trees are burning. Cities are obliterated to nothingness. The sun can't even penetrate the radiation clouds covering the earth, the sound of massive shells pounding the earth can be heard in the distance as spaceships move in. This is not Europe we remember, nor is it the beautiful earth as we know it, it is literally hell on earth. This is the last war, the most destructive war in our history, no one can escape the clutches of the blooming fires of war, there is no neutral, there is no good or bad guy, there is just me vs them...
It is World War Three.
''Sir, the enemy 3rd Mechanized army is moving in from the North how should we respond?'' an Oberst came on his hoverbike to me giving a paper report.
Weak radios can't penetrate the jamming mites both parties have thrown in the air, only strong Radio emitters can blaze a path through it. ''I shall take the 2nd Panzer Army to head up North to confront them, use the 182nd Airborne Battalion to cut off their supply lines, make the 46th Mechanized Army of the South move in from the left flank while our 6th Royal Navy will bombard them from the sea.'' I made some quick orders.
I have seen many wars, old world wars, wars where destructive magic existed, wars in the shadows, I have seen it all. But this... this is a war that even disgusts me. The Orders were quickly relayed, I hopped onto my personal tank.
''MOVEEE OUT!'' I shouted, and immediately the 2nd panzer division started to move with ever increasing speed to intercept the enemy's Mechanized army.
Suddenly a massive Siren sounded from the distance in the east, ''NOOOO!'' I shouted but it was too late the siren came too late.
A flash came with a few seconds later a massive sonic boom, a Nuclear bomb detonated close by, ''NO NO NO!'' I shouted, to the east was a refugee camp we set up to help those in need, but they nuked it outright, ''SAVAGES!'' Commanders shouted in their tanks as their eyes turned bloodshot.
With a crazed mind, we advanced, eventually we didn't even need any strategy. The tank crews were so mad that they fought even when their tank was almost obliterated, when the system sounded to get out, when fire started in the tanks, no matter what, these men still shot shell after shell after shell and in less than 10 minutes make the enemy Mechanized army vanish from the earth.
Blood was everywhere, I thought I'll get used to the sight of it, but war is never kind. Even after 100 years, when I, no we should have died it still raged on and I still cannot account for the deaths it has caused.
The year is 2115, on January the 27th, refugee camp Nova was hit by a 50 Megaton Nuclear bomb, destroying everything in a 50km radius, killing the 10 million refugees. As of now the current population of earth stands at 790 Million, which of 100 Million are active Personnel, 400 Million are in bunkers and 290 Million are Hiding around the globe.

''This is WAR! THIS IS A WAR WE MUST WIN!'' I shouted at the men in the Command Centre,
''SIR! THE TRANSPORTATION DEVICE IS OPERATIONAL! WE ARE READY TO LAUNCH OPERATION XAVIER!'' The commander-in-chief of the army shouted.
