Title:"An incident on the Mediterranean"

As Alfonso heard the quote he was jumping in joy. He didn't care about his image all he has on his mind is how happy he is to actually be able to see this unit in person.

"Hahhaahaha, great! Really great!" shouted Alfonso in delight. But after sometime he finally controlled himself and stopped his unsightly act.

"Cough* Make the Kirov descend, we can't afford anyone to see it." said Alfonso towards Vladikovich who then radiod it to the pilot of the airship.The airship complied and started to descend slowly.

"Now all we have left is the satellite." said Alfonso to everyone on his back.

"We are ready to send our satellites on the orbit just say the word Comrade." said Vladikovich as he readied his walkie talkie for any launch orders from Alfonso.

"Very well, launch them I want to see our eyes go online." said Alfonso to Vladikovich who then Radio it.

Couple of minutes later tens of missile silos opened revealing a rocket each.

Alfonso saw this scene and was bewildered.But he suddenly thought of the future.

'Shall I launch it right now? Won't this bring me problems later?' thought Alfonso to himself.

"Comrade Alfonso, are you okay? If you're not feeling well we can postpone the launch for another day." said Vladikovich as he radiod for the rockets to standby.

"Ah no, I'm good, it's just that I think if I should launch it today,I mean the superpowers will surely notice that long ass rocket tail right.I fear this will bring me troubles more than it's worth." answered Alfonso to the inquiry of Vladikovich.

"I understand your concerns my Comrade, but what can they do?In front of the superior might of the great Soviet Union all they can do is bow." said Vladikovich trying convincing Alfonso.

"You're right, what's the purpose of me building an army if I can't send them to a battle! And I'm quite sure this won't bite me in the ass later!Afterall they have no radars! Comrade, do those rockets contain magnetic satellites?" said Alfonso with conviction.

'He's ducking right, in front of my army's absolute might all they can do is bow' thought Alfonso in delight and expectation.

"Of course comrade, atleast 1 in 5 of those rockets contain a magnetic satellite so you can rest assured you can use the top secret protocols involving satellites." said Vladikovich to his comrade.

"Very good, then have them start the countdown!" said Alfonso to Vladikovich who did it.

"Command, this is Comrade Vladikovich, Deputy head of the Soviet Union, come in" radiod Vladikovich to the command room.

"Comrade Vladikovich, this is command please continue, over" answered a woman voice.

"Start the launch sequence and set the countdown timer to 10 minutes over." ordered Vladikovich to the agent.

"This is command, we hear you loud and clear, we will start the launch sequence now and set the countdown timer to 10 minutes over." answered the female agent from command center.

"Great job comrade, glory the motherland, Vladikovich out." said Vladikovich as he cut his conversation off.

"Everything is now set comrade, all we need to do is wait. Shall we go to the highest point so you can watch it clearly?" asked Vladikovich to Alfonso.

"Yes, thank you for the suggestion comrade, please lead the way." answered Alfonso as he smiled towards Vladikovich. Vladikovich also smiled towards Alfonso as he started to walk towards the elevator.He was followed by Natasha, Alfonso and another 15 conscripts.They made their way towards the peak of the mountain and waited there for the show.

"Rocket's away!" shouted Vladikovich.

Rockets slowly emerged from their deep silos and revealed themselves to the world.The scene of tens if rockets simultaneously launching is a site to behold.Alfonso was completely mesmerized by this situation and completely forgot to speak due to shock.

As the rockets slowly climbed the atmosphere, their hot flaming tails was out to show for everyone to see.

...

Rome, Kingdom if Italia

Inside the palace a man can be seen looking at the rockets who was slowly leaving the atmosphere.This was the first time he saw a thing. He didn't know what it was so he quickly sent for an expert in machines to tell him what it is.

"Your majesty, the expert you called for is here." said a guard who brought a man in suit.

The man quickly approached the the king who was near the window and quickly asked him.

"You see that too right!?" said the expert as he pointed at the long vertical object flying with a flaming tail on it end as it slowly reached the ozone layer.

"Yes, and I want you to tell me what it is." said the king calmly to the expert.

"Of course you won't know what it is, but I read about a theoretical object from a book published by The Factory before. It's said to be capable of sending objects into anywhere in the world using enough force but this is still in theory, and I think that flying thing over there is that theoretical object." answered the expert with joy in his eyes as if he's telling the king a good story.

"So you're telling me something or someone made that object into reality? asked the king to the expert.

"Yes your majesty, isn't this great?! The world has once again advanced and took a step closer on reaching the stars!" said the expert with delight as he's all smiles. The king just smiled at him awkwardly and thought that how he became an expert if he's this dumb.

"Get out!" said the king with anger in his voice.

"Bu-but..."

"I said get out!" shouted the king to the expert The expert then silently left the room still thinking on what has he done to offend the king.Just then a man in his 50's entered the room trying hard to catch his breath as he held a paper in hand. The king saw this and asked.

"Minister Diego, have you managed gathered information on where are those flying things come from?" asked the king to the man as he turned and walked towards him.

"No, your majesty, we don't know where it came from, based on mathematical findings it should came from under the sea near Sardinia." answered Diego still trying hard to catch his breath.

"What do you mean under the sea? How is building underwater possible! Do they use those sinking ships that is called submachine or something to build something underwater?!" asked the king in anger as he shouted his question.

"That's what our people has given me, look here, this is the report they created and it outlined that those objects' original position is under the sea based on the observed trajectories!" argued Diegobas he showes the king the report made by those smart people in the intelligence department.

"Damn it! I won't let this to happen again I want the navy to have a 24 hour patrol on our waters and the Sardinia's. I don't care if this causes disputes! I want those objects to be shot down once they appear once again and captured or if they came back to refuel as long as they appear I want them to be shot down and captured whole so that our own scientists can research them!" ordered the king to Diego with an angry voice.

"Yes your majesty, s-shall we tell the othe-" his words was cut short as another angry shout came from the king.

"No! We must keep this to ourselves I won't let those fat pigs fighting against each other to set aside their differences and try and get a pie of this thing!" shouted the king.

"Now what are you waiting for? Go!" shouted the king once again to Diego who made him run out of the room and complete his orders.

After Diego got out the king started to calm and walked slowly back to the window as he murmured.

"If I can't have this technology for myself, then it's better to be turned to scraps." murmured the king with a slight anger in his voice greed can be seen from his eyes.

Unbeknownst to the king and Alfonso the hidden forces in the world was going nuts about this incident in the Mediterranean.They made adjustments to their own plan to factor in this new hidden force.

...

Inside the presidential office there sat Alfonso's father, Albertu. Together with his wife Alessandra,son Alfonso and other cabinet ministers they were discussing about the numerous large flying objects that escaped the atmosphere 3 days ago.Alfonso and his mother is included on this meeting because Albertu knew that the logo on the object is the same as the logo the mercenary group the family his son courts controls. So he included the both of them because his son won't speak anything about his live interterests in oublic without his mother's confirmation.

"Based on observing its trajectory we can say for sure that it came from underwater.And the only distinguishable thing about it is that it contained a big logo on its side." reported the minister of intelligence as he gave everyone in the room a paper containing the sketch of the logo. Alfonso also got one and looked at it confused.

"What's the minister of science said about this object, has he found out what it is?" asked Albertu to the minister of intelligence.

"She's stilk trying to find out what is that object, that's whybshe hasn't attended this meeting but she hypothesized that, those object is a transport vehicle of some sort and would surely be back to be refueled." answered the minister of intelligence.Then when Albertu looked at the paper he was given he immediately thought of the girl's family which his son was courting. He knew that the girl's family is powerful and influential based on their Mercenary group's strength.So he decided to ask his son if he knoews anything about the objects.

"I'm sure you're familiar with that logo right, Alfonso?" asked his father as he looked towards his own son with a suspicious look.

"Of course father" answered Alfonso truthfully.

"Then can you share your knowledge with us?" asked the minister of intelligence.

Alfonso looked at his mom waiting for confirmation.His personal relationship has been kept from anyone outside their family so naturally no one knew about his love interests.

His mother just nodded at her son. She knew in herself that this matter involved something big that will surely affect the whole world as a whole. She won't be selfish as to continuously hide her son's love interest if this concerns the faith of her homeland.

Alfonsi got his mother's confirmation and forced a coughed to settle the atmosphere.

"Cough* As you may not know, I'm courting a girl for more than a year now. Her name is Natasha and she is currently 17 years old this year.Her family owns the mercenary group Red Army which is the "official" army of the communists revolutionaries on the Kingdom of Rus. Their logo is this very same hammer and sickle including the red color." Alfonso began to tell "everything" he knew about Natasha.

"Then do you think that they were responsible or has a direct or indirect affiliation on this flying object?" asked the minister of defense.

"This thing is something advance for a mere family to be solely responsible.Their logo is also the same as those communist people's flag,if you don't know it." answered Alfonso with a shake of his head.

"You're right, we can't just point fingers to anyone who has the same logo without any evidences." said the minister of oublic order as he nodded in agreement.

"Who is this Natasha anyway, when did his excellency met her?" said the minister of intelligence, clearly intrigued by this revelation.Alfonso once again looked at his mother for confirmation, which was she gave just to clear any suspicions.

"I met her when I was touring our capital. When I met her she just recently moved in from Moscow.Her family brought the property that I own for a price.They made her move out of the Kingdom of Rus because of all the war and rebellion." answered Alfonso "truthfully"

"So that's how it is...." said the minister of intelligence as he slowly nodded signifying his understanding.Just then his father spoke.

"It looks like we don't have any lead. I want the navy to increase their patrol on our seas and if possible extend it to the international waters, if those things really came from under the sea then it should also come back to the sea once it runs out of fuel. Once this happened, I want our boys to salvage it and bring it to the ministry of science.Understood?" ordered Albertu as he adjourned the meeting.

"Yes my excellency" said all the ministers inside the room.

Alfonso on the other hand tried his best to hold back his laughter from all the stupidity he just heard.

'Refuel? What the duck, if that's possible the space transportation back on Earth should be on a feew thousand dollars only. Still, imagine a ducking big ass rocket stopping on a gas station the same size as it is to refuel like a ducking car!That would be a funny scene which I will pay to watch!' thought Alfonso as he laughed inside his head.

"Then this meeting is adjourned." declared Albertu as he and his family started to exit the room. On the hallway Albertu once again asked Alfonso about the logo.

"Son, are you really sure that Natasha's family isn't responsible for those objects?" asked Albertu to his son while walking.

"Father trust me, if they were the one responsible for those flying objects she would have gave me a heads up about it, but she didn't.And logically thinking, their family may be influential and powerful but they can't possibly be responsible for those things that break common sense." answered Alfonso to his fsther assuring him.

"Love, don't push this matter anymore and think logically for once." backed up his mother.

'Oh how I love my mom,sadly she can't know the truth.' thought Alfonso.His mother is almost always there to let him escape situations like this.

"Okay okay, but if she ever mentions anything about those things give me a heads up okay?" said Albertu in defeat.

"Okay father, but I can assura you that at mist she will tell me how fascinated she is about those. And you read our letters so I think that isn't necessary." said Alfonso to his father to end this conversation.

"What do you mean reading your letters? I don't know what you're saying." defended his father trying to act like he knew nothing.

"If you say so father.I'm hungry can we eat at a restaurant?" said Alfonso to avoid awkwardness.

"Of course son anything for you." said Alessandra to avoid the topic of the letters.

...

Months after the incident on the Mediterranean it's already the winter of 1917.The war is nearing it's end from the looks of it but the situation of Sardinia and Italia worsen. After the flying object incident many nations sent their own ships on the Mediterranean sea scouring it for any potential part of the flying object.The English Empire,known for its navy was also present and they brought their very own prototype submarine. Who scoured underwater for any potential building but failed to sea anything because the current is too high and the submarine can only go around 15 meters deep. The Sardinia proposered due to this events.The businesses are blooming more than ever and it probably won't stop early due to the influx of sailors. But there's also problems brought by this event. Crimes became rampant due to the foreigners acting all high and mighty.The public order keepers was having a hard time controlling them in fear of sparking a diplomatic dispute. And the original war on European mainland was brought the the Mediterranean.French and English battleships was firing at Saxons ships. This resulted in an everyday occurrence of injured sailors.This war was also brought to the port cities in Sardinia. Sometimes, when a french meets a saxon he will unholster his gun and fire at him, the same goes for the saxons. Everyday is pretty much crap for people living in the port cities. This sparked a movement that aims to expel any foreigners in Sardinia.This movement turned into a rebel group that aims to expel the foreigners and change the government because they figured out the root of this problem is the government.Alfonso feot mixed emotions about this. He was hapoy that his little fireworks act didn't bite him in the ass but at the same time saddened that his nation as a whole bear the brunt of his brash action. But he set this aside for a more pressing matter.

The construction of a new faction's base.

After some thought Alfonso finally decided to construct another faction's base. He figured out that because the Soviets didn't have any noteworthy naval vessels except for the giant squid which looks totally cool. He decided he would build an Empire of the Rising Sun base. He wasn't really a fan of this faction except the only reason he chose this over the aircraft carriers of the Allies is because apparently technology beats logistics and geography plus they have some flying head which looks cool and not because of the thick cute girl with ponytails code named Yuriko Omega.

He was currently in Lake Coghinas with his girlfriend Natasha and hundreds of conscripts setting up a perimeter,tens of Sickle hidden and a chinook parked on an ipen space as his transport vehicle.

Going through his usual naval route back to the presidential manor isn't safe anymore.With the influx of battleships roaming their waters searching for his silos, which they wouldn't find, he can't risk his amphibious transport be seen because there's no such thing as amphibious transport in this world. He also won't choose the submarine way because if the English submarine was at the right place and right time they might see it swimming deeper than them which would surely spark another influx of stupid ships coming and searching for it. As for the squid option, that thing would spell even more disaster.Conspirashit theorist, religious zealots,monster hunters, etc. will also go searching for it once seen by anyone and it will make his transportation even harder.

So he just chose the air way. The chinook can fly higher than the clouds which will camouflage it and he will land on his main Soviet base where Natasha's car resides which she will use to drive him back to the manor.

He managed to get his parents agree on him staying with Natasha for a week, which isn't easy. But with a simple convincing he managed to let him go. So now here he was standing at the Lake Coghinas searching for a suitable place to construct his new faction's base. His system didn't have a complete map function and he has to personally scout the area or have his men do it for him. Once they finished scouting the place the map would appear together with all the places they find.

Alfonso looked at the holographic map of the lake and pondered.

"Where should I put the base?"
