The War That Transcends Timelines! 49 Document Nr.Xxx

''Sir ETA at Motherbase is 1 hour and 7 minutes!'' A Navigator said while walking past me, I was too deep in thought to realise and just continued to walk on. 'We can expect the Union to start making moves in the Dark, but about other countries, I am not sure, Germany would, but I have a kept a tight grip on the Wehrmacht, causing most of their plans to be going forward at a snail's pace. England will probably give is more attention after our declaration. The Soviet Union will probably investigate less, but they are still the soviet union so we can start to see more of their spies. The U.S.A is too busy handling the great depression, so we won't see anything of them. Italy will definitely start to make a move as we are very 'close' neighbours. France is occupied by our own spies. I will speak to Rudolf about this.'

''Sir'' Someone whispered, I immediately came to my senses to just notice Shadow in the corner. ''Shadow, why are you on board?'' I asked. Shadow replied in a very raspy voice, ''Zero ordered me to protect you from potential a.s.sa.s.sins.'' ''Hmm, Okay, I will not intervene.'' I said before continuing to ask, ''And what do you have to say Shadow?'' ''Zero has completed the Mission you tasked him, but what he discovered was more than we could imagine, he likes to talk to you in private when you return,'' Shadow replied in his raspy voice, and after saying that he retreated into the shadows. 'What can it be that has made Zero worry?' I continued to ponder over this while walking forward again.

I just sat down in the Command centre, talking to Manfred of any counters to the Union's planes. ''Manfred, I will be able to get the engineering team viable designs later this month for jet engines. And after we have placed all our a.s.sets in Switzerland we can start ma.s.s production of the planes.'' I argued with Manfred, ''But that will strain our t.i.tanium alloy stockpiles, as you said the main problem was the temperatures, and if we fix that with t.i.tanium the cost will be above the estimated 100,000 RM and be a minimum of 250.000 RM! We cannot afford such costs, Marshall, Instead let's opt for an improved single or double piston engine powered plane. I think we will be able to counter them easily.'' Manfred tried to argue in using costs. ''Manfred of costs would worry that much I would have never agreed to the Motherbase to begin with, Cost is not an Issue,'' I replied. But Manfred argued again, ''I respect that costs do not matter, but how are we going to get large quant.i.ties of t.i.tanium during wartime? Trade will be Difficult seeing we are landlocked!'' I was speechless he has a point if I have a war with Italy, Germany and England, France... I don't have many trade Partners. ''I have already formulated plans to ma.s.s stockpile Materials and goods, t.i.tanium included Manfred,'' I a.s.sured him.

1 hour pa.s.sed quickly and the Captain announced that they have arrived in Hangar 3. ''Manfred, do not worry, I have this under control.'' I a.s.sured him. We took the train towards the Main transportation Hub before getting the Armoured train to the Command Centre located at the Heart of the underground base. 'Arrived at Point 5, next stop point 8' A audio played in the train. I exited the train and started to walk towards the Command Centre, which is a ma.s.sive circular room. this time having 4 Horseshoe shaped long tables, with my seat being at the opening of the Horseshoe shaped tables. 'Inner core, which is the Mother base and the Valley, Outer Core which is now Switzerland, External Core which is Outside Switzerland, what is the 4th row for?' I asked myself.

I walked to my chair, which was almost a throne, Gunther stood Next to the chair, dressed in a ragged cloak, barely seeing his eyes behind the mask.

'Gunther will probably never be the same.' I thought to myself as I watched him, ''Marshall, Zero will arrive in 25 seconds!'' Gunther reported. 'He was so lively and young blooded, now he is as cold as Zero.' I shook my head in disappointment. I sat down on the chair, Gunther left and stood at the door opening it. And without anyone knocking he opened it, on the other side you could see Zero ready to Knock, bit when he saw Gunther he chuckled a bit. His face then turned to the Marshall, ''IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!'' He saluted, I just casually waved my hand showing him to be at ease. ''Sir I have the Doc.u.ments you requested!'' Zero continued he knelt down and handed it over, I signalled Gunther to pick him up,

''Zero I am not a Monarch, you do not need to kneel, I have told you already,'' I said annoyed whilst picking up the Doc.u.ments. 'Doc.u.ment Nr. 456, Nr. 213, Nr. 847, Nr. 002, Nr. x.x.x, Nr. x.x.x, Nr. x.x.x. Interesting he has gained them all.' I thought. ''Gunther bring Nr. 213 and nr. 002 to the R&D team, tell them to improve the designs, get Werner Von Braun to look at it as well!'' I ordered. Gunther stepped forwards and accepted the Doc.u.ments, before walking off. 'Doc.u.ment Nr. 256 and 847 can be given to Rudolf Later. While these Nr. x.x.x is looking interesting.''

I said whilst opening one of the x.x.x doc.u.ments. The first one was codenamed UON, Union Of Nations. I started reading and the more I read the more solemn I became, 'UON entails the Union of the Countries; England, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria and Czechoslovakia Into one Union ruled by the Unionist state from England! Basically almost the entirety of Western Europe and a bit of Eastern Europe.' I opened the second doc.u.ment, code-named URM, Union Re-militarization Plan, which entails; 'The Union must be able to successfully protect herself in the 5th Phase of the plan, she must have a military force capable of fighting half of the world militaries combined. This Phase will get the Approval of the HQ and Large Quant.i.ties of Materials will be delivered from OTHER timelines, Obj. 289 and Obj 629 both have to be built to ensure the Unions safety after capturing the Timeline, if all goes correctly Phase 5 goes ahead in 1934 and ends in 1940, which the second constructions will take place in 1990 to 1996.' I read, ''That means they have already started! Zero what are the Objects they are building?'' I demanded, ''Unknown Sir, we couldn't find ANY information on them.'' Zero replied solemnly. With a dejected face, I sit down again.

I was almost afraid to open the 3rd doc.u.ment, the 3rd doc.u.ment is code named T, Turtle, the details have all been marked with black ink, making it impossible to discern what is written, ''Any information on the meaning?'' I asked Zero, ''None, we do not know, we only know it has to do with something in or on the British Isles.'' Zero replied. ''Well done Zero, it seems that our preparations are puny compared to theirs, gather all Sector heads, all external representatives and all Wehrmacht men that are under our influence Zero! The meeting will be held in one weeks time, here in the Motherbase. It will be the first gathering of the Organisation and will be named the 1st Shadow Conference!'' I ordered Zero. Zero nodded and saluted before also heading off into the darkness. When suddenly a voice behind me said, ''We meet again 'Marshall' ''
