{2 months after the meeting/ Arkonis Beta}
"Admiral I have told you already that if that wretched planet is not taken by the end of next month I will look for someone that can do it. Did I make myself clear?"
"Yes, your highness. I will not fail you" And with that the transmision was cut leaving Max alone in his private quarter thinking about new startegies to dominate or anex new worlds from the Outer Rim, in particular the one mention in his earlier conversation call by him as Earth 1, not very original, but due to the information received the planet as well as the people in it are extremely similar to the earth of his memories during the industrial revolution. But diferent from our earth, this planet only had three nations to consider in the expansion throught the planet, similar to the chinese, british and ottomans of our world. During negotiations both the Sianchu Empire (chinese) and the Commonwealth of Nations join in a pacific form but the ottomans showed a clear resistance to the new order. At first it was left to the other two nations to supress and anex them, but as time pass the situation end up scalating into a full blow war that ended in stalemate forcing us to intervene in a direct manner. First we send officers to guided the natives in new tactics and how to break stalemate in the war, and it worked for three week the gains became significants almost securing the third biggest city of their empire but when we were at they're gates we unknowingly force them to reveal their aces, a weapon similar to the gatlins gun from the american civil war and the expansion to the west as well as rifles similar to the Mauser Model 1871 single-shot.
This force us to outfit the expedicionary troops from the other country's with rifles Martiny-Henry and RBL 40-pounder Armstrong Gun.
After all of that the war found itself once more in a stalemate, so we were force to directly intervene under the dsguise of mercenary'sunder both armies, in reality our two brigades were the ones managing the front. Of course we didn't just deploy infantry but also armored forces and air forces. For this very purpose, the tanks deploy were M4 Shermans with the short 75mm and the 105mm obus for our forces and the Panzer II and the T-26 for the expedicionary troops, the first one for the Commonwealth and the Second for the Sianchu Empire due to the diferences in terrain.
Precisely, it was due to the terrain that the advance stop once more, they had only retreat and retreat throughout the conflict but once the fight had reach their homeland, they had became like the extremist from middle east. They employ suicide attacks, improvise explosive, etc. Making the expansion very slow and methodical for our forces.
As for the outlook of the galaxy, we have continue to provide our service to the wealthy and even some forces like the Death Watch has contact us to sell them weapons. Currently we provide multiple services, from the most common bounty hunting, to assasinations and even kidnappins. Of course we also had legal endevours like training the military or local militias into proper forces, weapon sellings and security's jobs, like keeping order or being bodyguards. All things consider it was going good for us.
His came back to reality when from the bathroom of his room a blue woman, wearing only a towel aproach him before sitting in a chair and beginning to dress in the uniform of the navy, her rank captain but what was most striking about her were her deep red eyes. Yes she was a chiss, one who didn't remember her home or planet only part of her name being Ann but with an unnatural talent for naval battles. He had rescue her during a mision in a planet in the Outer Rim where he was supposed to end some sort of pirate group that had made it's stronghold there. He arrived alongside two companies of the wehrmacht upgrade to 1970 tech. The main weapon of the army is the G3 or the FN Faldepending on the terrain we fight.
When we got there we discover that the problem wasn't only pirates but also Zygerrians slavers. Slavery was the maximum crime in my territory, so upon seeing this the soldiers didn't hold back even a little bit, first they open fire then questions those still alive if any survive.The full cleanning took approximately two whole days, first the armored forces broke throught follow by the infantry. The worst part of the campaign was atacking their underground base, so to cut loses we force them deep undeground before blowing up all entrances and exits buring them alive.
After the fight we liberate all the slaves and group them up before offering them various options, among them joinning our group. Ann was one of the few who accept this, as for the physical part of our relashionship it was purely carnal no feelings in it.
"Who were you talking to?" She asked.
"The admiral in Earth 1, he is yet to breach the stalemate even though he has superior equipment and troops. My patience is becoming to run thin, so I gave him an ultimatum. Results or replacement"
"I told you that I should have been the one taking the lead in this operation, but you insist otherwise, also Marian told me that the base in what you call Hoth will be complete in two years at least"
"Good, althouhg Hoth is a minor planet, hidden away and unrecognise due to his extreme climate, it is perfect for a supply base. Anyway you can go back to your post, your assigment will be handed to you this week at the latest"
With that we both part ways, she to her post and I toward my main ship which will take me to two places, first Kuat then Naboo.
