Declaration of War

With Anastasias order given, the Navy set forth and sailed towards the Ottoman coast, while the Army crossed the border.

With the Ottomans already lost Libiya to Italy and Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia years before, only the mainland and Balkan territories remain. The Ottomans who didn't take modernisation and industrialization seriously like Anastasia did with Russia didnt have their Army equipped to take on both Russia and Britain.

The Declaration of War was sent by a third-party as they had their Embassies evacuated a day prior.

The British Army crossed over from Egypt as their Fleet began blocking the Ottoman sea access. The Ottoman Navy is almost non existent as the British Navy destroyed them while suffering no damages at all.

-Sultans Palace, Constantinople-

"Your Majesty, the Russians and British Army crossed the border."

The Prime Minister spoke as he bowed down.

"What! How, they shouldn't have their troops ready by now, we haven't even reached the border ourselves!"

Mehmet the V screamed out as the threw a vase at the Prime Minister who evaded it.

"I don't know, your Majesty but I suspect that their Railways had to do something about it."

Mehmet looked at the Prime Minister with distain.

As he was about to lash out again the door burst open as a messager rushed in.

"How dare you enter the Throne Room without my consent!"

Mehmet screamed out as he drew a sword from his waist.

"Wait your Majesty! I have a urgent message please listen!"

Mehmet stopped as he gazed at the man.

"Speak."

"Thank you your Majesty, the news is that the Balkan territories have rebelled and the remaining Balkan nations declared war."

Mehmets face blared in fury as he screamed and picked up a gun from his Guard next to him.

"Your Maj- BANG!"

*THUD*

Everyone in the room stood still as they watched as the man fell down with a hole in his chest.

Mehmet threw the gun down as he sat down on his Throne.

"Order all our men to go quickly and conscript more men to the Army. While your at it, clean this filth."

-With The Russian Navy-

*SPLASH*

*SPLASH*

As the Russian Navy neared the Ottoman coast the Fleet Admiral on board of the Flagship stood in the Bridge of the Ship.

The Fleet Admirals Ship is the IRS Moskwa, one of the Super Dreadnoughts of the Russian Empire. The classification of Battleships and Dreadnoughts is different than other nations.

Battleships are known as pre-dreadnoughts, they are the big hitters. Dreadnoughts are the upgraded versions of the Battleships. Super Dreadnoughts are entirely new and experimental.

Russia has as of right now ten Super Dreadnoughts. Two serving each Fleet.

The sister Ship to the IRS Moskwa is the IRS Kiev, and now both lead the entire Black Sea Fleet to the Ottoman coast.

"Sir, we see land should we begin operation?"

The Fleet Admiral looked at the Captain of the ship.

"Inform the Marshall that we reached operational timer, have him ready his men and ready the landingcraft. Begin shelling all Ottoman ports and destroy anything worth destroying."

The Captain nodded at the Fleet Admirals order as he relayed his message to the Marshall and ordered all ships to begin bombarding the coast.

Marshall Alexi received the message and ordered his troops to get in the landingcraft.

Ships who carry the landingcraft approached the shores as the ships behind them bombard the city before them.

Once they got close enough the giant doors opened and released the landingcraft as they sailed towards the shore.

As the craft neard the shore the Captains of the crafts saw the devastation the Fleet caused on the city.

Everything is destroyed as the ships gave no quarters following the Fleet Admirals comand.

*THUM*

*SHIIII BOOM*

The landingcraft reached the shore of the city as the doors opened releasing the troops and armored cars and trucks that they carried.

The Men took positions as the ships in the background keept firing shells at the city.

Marshall Alexi gazed at the city with a solem look and sighed. The Fleet Admiral is a ruthless man but a very effective one.

"He just erased a city of the map, we won't need to hold on here, we can continue onwards and let the rest of the Fleet come and deploy a supply chain."

This city isn't the only one getting attacked on the black sea coast, the Black Sea Fleet split up and went to its designated targets. Marshall Alexi's Generals lead those fronts as he coordinates the entire front.

"Sir what's this city's name?"

Alexi looked at his subordinate who asked as he opened a map, then he pointed at the city they attacked on the map.

"Samsun, the city is Samsun a critical hub that once we take it destabilizes the entire central coast. Now it's no more, so we move on and once we have enough ground we stay put until the Supreme Comander gives us the order to advance."

The men around Alexi nod as he closes the map.

"Alright men, get ready to advance! For the Saintess!"

""For the Saintess!""

-Caucasus-Anatolian Front-

The news of the Balkan uprising came to Anastasia as she smiled.

Her work payd of, the Bulgarians, Serbs, and Greeks declared war as the ones who are still occupied openly rebelled. The Ottomans can't hold on of this many fronts. The Balkan front will collapse as will the Middle East front. All she needs to do is crush the main Army currently fighting her troops and then it's over.

Currently her Army is fighting to approach Erzurum, a very important city and once that city falls the Ottomans will be forced to retreat far.

All she needs is to clear the way as a defensive force is resisting her troops.

*BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM*

Artillery fire rained at the Ottoman lines as they jump for cover.

*RAATATATATA*

Machine Guns fire hail storms of lead as any Ottoman man who take a peek gets a new eye hole.

"We are taking fire! Where are the reinforcements! The city is behind us we cant fall!"

A Soldier screamed out as he covered an oncoming onslaught as the man he asked to got punctured by dozens of bullets and fell cold on wet soil.

*BOOM*

"AARGHH!"

"WE CANT HOLD ON THERE ARE TO MANY ON THEM!"

A soldier ran up to a comand Bunker as he relayed a message.

"Sir we can't hold on for much longer, we need reinforcements our men are dying."

The General who happened to be on site when the war broke out nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry son, the rein- BOOOOOM"

The Bunker exploded as a Bunker Buster hit the location.

"The Russians entered our trenches!"

What ensured was horror made manifest.

Russian men in full covered armor entered the trenches as wielding Gatlings Guns began to spray everywhere they looked.

Some Ottomans tried to shoot back but were met with their shots ricocheting back towards them.

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTT*

"WHAT ARE THOSE!"

*BRRRRRTTTTT*

*SPLASH*

*CRUNCH*

*KLARGCH*

Entire body's got torn to bits as the remains that were left became nothing but blood vapor.

Occasionally the Russians in the strange Armore hit their own but the shots bounced of and hit a poor boy who got conscripted.

"RUN! THE FALSE SAINTS DEMONS ARE HERE!"

The men abandoned their lines and ran towards the back lines but this left them exposed.

*BRRRTTTT*

*BOOOOM BOOOM BOOM*

*RATATATATA*

The retreating soldiers fell on the wet mud with some missing their entire upper body.

This is no war, this is carnage, this is Hell on Earth.

-At Anastasias location-

"Hmm, those men at the Lab did fine work with the new alloy and gun."

A general looked at her in confusion.

"New gun? Those men in full armor, are they yours your Highness?"

Anastasias smirked.

"Indeed they are, those are my Juggernaut forces."

The Generals look at her with awe.

"Ahem, alright let's make the final push and reach the city. I got news that the British are on their way toward Bagdad, we can't have them get further than us."

""Understood your Highness!""
