August 30, 1939, 1:34 A.M. Poland, Suwalki. Two Days Before the Invasion of Poland…
"So we'll be attacking first?" Neo typed. "Yes, We'll be attacking these damn Nazis first." Neo nodded, Looking ready to fight. "Until the end?" Sterling asked & looked at Neo. "Until the very end, Sterling." Neo typed quickly.
"We have the Ghost Division with 55,000 infantry with us so we'll have to do this fast we take all of Prussia by September 1st or the 2nd!" Sterling stated that his troops rawr out ready to fight for Poland.
The Ghost Division has 85 Main Tanks that have 20 Leopard 2 (PzBtl 123s), 20 M1A2 Abrams, 10 M1 KVTs, 15 T-90 (Red Eyes), And Lastly 20 M1A2 SEPv3s.

—————————————————————
August 30, 1939, 3:13 A.M. Poland, Suwalki.
Sterling deployed 5,000 Soldiers to Pillau to secure the port & the town using 160 CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters for 4,000 Soldiers, Along with 125 UH-60 Black Hawks & HH-60G PAVE Hawks for 1,000 Soldiers. Additionally, 5,000 paratroopers will be deployed to Memel to secure the port & the town.
Sterling & Neo will be advancing with the Ground Forces that are moving towards Gołdap. The Ground Forces from Grajewo will launch an offensive on Rastenburg & Angerburg, Supported by Ground Forces from Mlawa after they secure Ostelsburg, While Mlawa will also be launching an attack on Antenstein & Deutsch Eylau with support from Ground Forces from Grudziaz as they launch an offensive towards Marienverder.
Sterling Schnee stood at the forefront of his advancing troops, His Pip-pad buzzing with real-time updates from the battlefield. The Atmosphere was Electric with Tension, Anticipation, And the weight of responsibility. The invasion of Poland was imminent, And every second counted.
"Prepare for the advance!" He called out, His voice cutting through the early morning air. Around him, Soldiers moved with purpose, Checking their Weapons & Equipment, Their faces were a mixture of determination & resolve. Neo, Ever by his side, Was focused and ready, Her expression reflecting the seriousness of the moment.
As the ground forces began their march toward Gołdap, Sterling felt the adrenaline coursing through him. "We're moving in three columns," He instructed. "The Ghost Division will take a point, Followed by our armored units. I want the infantry to maintain close support. We need to secure the roads & prepare for any potential ambushes."
The troops formed up, And the sound of armored vehicles rumbling to life filled the air. Tanks & APCs lined up, Ready to push into enemy territory. The plan was audacious, But Sterling's confidence in his forces was unwavering.
"Neo, Keep an eye on the reconnaissance drones," He said, Gesturing to the sky where several UAVs were already patrolling with MQ-9 Reapers & MQ-4C Tritons. "I want to know the moment we detect any German movements. We can't afford to be caught off guard."
"Got it," She typed back, Her fingers flying over the screen as she accessed the live feed. "All clear for now, But I'll alert you if anything changes." Neo typed then gave Sterling a thumbs up.
"Alright Ladies & Gentlemen we are attacking first we have the element of surprise the Germans don't know we'll be the ones attacking first. Remember! With Cunning, Speed, Surprise, And Violence of action, We will hunt the enemies of the Polish People & bring chaos to their doorstep!"
With Sterling's words ringing in their ears, The troops surged forward, The weight of their mission propelling them into action. As they advanced toward Gołdap, The atmosphere was charged with determination; Each soldier was ready to fight for their homeland.
"Let's move!" Sterling commanded, Driving the point home as the armored vehicles rolled into formation. The Ghost Division led the way, Their tanks rumbling confidently as they approached the town.
As they reached the outskirts of Gołdap, The anticipation in the air transformed into palpable tension. Sterling could see the buildings ahead, A stark reminder that they were about to enter a battleground. However, As they pressed on, Something became evident—the town was eerily quiet.
"Neo, Check the drone feeds again," Sterling instructed, Concerned by the absence of resistance. "Are we seeing any movement?"
Neo quickly accessed the data, Her brow furrowing as she scanned the live feeds. "It appears that the German defenses are either very sparse or completely absent from this sector," She reported, Neo typed tinged with disbelief. "There's no sign of organized resistance."
"Let's not waste this opportunity," Sterling replied a sense of urgency in his tone. "Advance with caution, But keep moving. If they're not here, We need to seize control of the town immediately."
The troops moved into the heart of Gołdap, The sound of their boots and vehicle treads echoing through the streets. As they entered, Sterling's eyes roamed over the buildings, Searching for any signs of the enemy only to see civilians. However, It became increasingly clear that the German forces had either retreated or failed to establish a solid defense in this area.
"Secure the key buildings & establish a perimeter!" Sterling ordered, His voice steady and commanding. "We need to ensure that no surprise attacks can come from behind."
As the soldiers fanned out, They quickly took control of essential locations—Government buildings, Communication Hubs, And Supply Depots. The town, Once a potential battlefield, Was now falling under their control without the fierce resistance they had anticipated.
"Neo, Keep monitoring the perimeter," Sterling instructed as he moved to oversee the securing of a strategic location. "I want updates on any potential German movements. If they're regrouping, we need to know."
"Will do," She replied using the Pip-Pad, Her fingers dancing over her Pip-Pad. The drones continued their patrols, Providing a comprehensive view of the surrounding area. "Still nothing to report. It looks like we've caught them off guard."
With the town secured, The mood among the troops began to shift from tense anticipation to cautious celebration. Sterling gathered his officers around him, Their faces reflecting a mixture of relief & disbelief at the ease of their advance.
"We've taken Gołdap with minimal resistance," Sterling stated his voice firm. "But let's not get complacent. We need to remain vigilant. The Germans will respond, And we must be ready."
As they established their foothold, Sterling organized teams to begin fortifying their positions. They set up defensive barricades, Established Communication Lines, And prepared for the next phase of their campaign.
"Let's gather intelligence on our next targets," He instructed. "We've made good progress, But we cannot afford to lose momentum. Our objective is to take all of Prussia, And we need to plan our next moves carefully."
The officers nodded in agreement, Understanding the importance of maintaining their strategic advantage. The soldiers began to share their stories of the day, Recounting how they had entered the town without firing a shot, A rare victory in the chaos of war.
As the sun began to come over Gołdap, Casting a golden hue over Gołdap, Sterling stood atop a nearby hill, Surveying the town below. The buildings stood silent, And the streets were free of conflict, A stark contrast to the chaos that had defined the early hours of their campaign.
"Today, We have only proven our strength a bit," Sterling said to himself, A sense of pride swelling a bit within himself. "But this is just the beginning."
With Gołdap firmly in their hands, Sterling felt a renewed sense of purpose. They had taken the first significant step in their campaign, And with each victory, The Germans would fight with a fierce determination to reclaim their homeland, But Sterling steeled himself to confront whatever challenges lay ahead. And he steeled himself to confront whatever challenges lay ahead.
"We move again at 1:03 P.M. To Germany, Gumbinnen." He declared, Turning back to his troops, Their spirits were high after the successful capture. "For Poland! We will continue our fight until every inch of Poland is safe from the Fascist Nazi Germany!"
The soldiers cheered, Their voices rising in unison, A powerful testament to their resolve. As the afternoon sky came out, Sterling knew that they had set the stage for their next moves, And with unwavering confidence, He prepared to lead them into the heart of Prussia.
"Around 10% 5,000 of you will be going to Germany, Angerbrug to help take it with Ground & Air Forces from Grajewo."
—————————————————————
August 30, 1939, 11:21 A.M. Occupied German Territory, Gołdap.
As the sun cast a warm glow over the newly captured town of Gotdap, Sterling stood contemplating the next steps in their campaign against the German forces. His mind raced with possibilities, but one thought lingered at the forefront: The potential impact of summoning Wonder Woman. He turned to Neo, Who stood beside him, Her expression focused as she scanned the horizon.
"Neo!" Sterling began, His voice steady but with an undercurrent of urgency, "I've been thinking about whether I should summon Wonder Woman."
Neo's eyes widened slightly, A flicker of curiosity crossing her features. Though she couldn't verbally respond, Her fingers moved swiftly over her Pip-pad, capturing his attention. She typed out her thoughts, and Sterling leaned in to read. "Who is she?"
Sterling took a moment to gather his thoughts. He knew that Neo, While adept in many areas, Hadn't heard about the legendary hero before. "Wonder Woman is a warrior from Themyscira, A Champion of Justice with incredible abilities," he explained, His excitement palpable. "She possesses Superhuman Strength, Speed, And Combat Skills that are unmatched. Her presence could inspire our troops & instill fear in our enemies."
Neo's fingers paused, and she seemed to ponder the implications. "What are the risks?" Neo typed, Her expression serious.
"Good question!" Sterling replied, Pacing slightly as he considered her concerns.
"Bringing her into this conflict could be both a boon & a burden. On one hand, Her leadership & combat abilities could tilt the scales in our favor, Especially as we push deeper into Prussian territory. On the other hand, Her arrival could draw attention from the Germans, Making her a target."
Neo nodded, Her fingers flying across the screen again. "We need to ensure our forces are ready to support her. It can't just be her against the entire German Army."
"Exactly," Sterling agreed, His mind racing with the logistics. "If we summon her, We would need to integrate her into our command structure. We can't afford any miscommunication, Especially in the heat of battle. She would need to understand our strategy & objectives clearly."
Neo's brow furrowed as she contemplated the potential scenarios. "What if she disagrees with our tactics?" Neo typed. "We can't have conflict among our leaders."
Sterling paused, Realizing the truth in her statement. "That's a valid point. We must ensure that she is aligned with our mission & that she understands the gravity of the situation we're facing. We're fighting for more than just Poland; We're fighting against tyranny itself."
He took a deep breath, Feeling the weight of the decision bear down on him. "But I believe that if we can convey our commitment to justice and the protection of the innocent, She will see the importance of our cause. We need to frame this not just as a military campaign, But as a stand against oppression."
Neo's fingers moved again, Quickly typing, "How do you summon her?"
Sterling glanced at the Pip-pad, his expression turning serious. "I'll handle that, Want to watch Or…?" Sterling Questioned.
Neo quickly but calmly types. "Nah, I'll be watching the several UAVs feeds & checking for the Germans if they decide to counterattack." Sterling nodded, And then Neo left the Command Room & went to the Intelligence Room.
Sterling unclasps the Pip-Pad from its place on his chest, Mimicking the way Dokkaebi wears her Pad on her chest.
Sterling turns on the Pip-Pad & then opens his Powers Tab & activates his Interdimensional Summoning & summons Wonder Woman.
As the warm hues of late afternoon bathed Gołdap in a golden glow, Sterling Schnee stood at the edge of the town, Waiting with bated breath. The air around him seemed to shimmer with possibility. He had just completed the summoning process, And the energy was palpable, charged with anticipation. Moments later, A figure appeared before him, Stepping through the veil of energy with an ethereal grace.
Diana Prince, Better known as Wonder Woman, Stood tall and resolute, Her presence commanding & awe-inspiring. Her armor gleamed in the sunlight, And her iconic lasso hung at her side, A symbol of Truth and Justice.
"Who calls me?" She asked, Her voice steady yet melodic, Echoing the strength & compassion that defined her.
Sterling stepped forward, Meeting her piercing gaze. "I am Sterling Schnee, And I lead a coalition of forces here in Poland. We are on the brink of a great conflict against the oppressive forces of Nazi Germany. I called you because we need your help."
Diana studied him, her expression thoughtful. "You are fighting a war that has already claimed many lives. What makes you believe I should join this battle? I have fought many wars, And my heart is weary."
"Because this is not just about territory or power," Sterling replied earnestly, Sensing the weight of her words. "This is about freedom, About protecting the innocent. The people of Poland are suffering, And if we do not act, The darkness will only spread further across Europe & The World. Your strength and leadership could inspire hope in our troops & rally others to our cause."
Diana's brow furrowed slightly as she absorbed his words. "I understand the burden of leadership, But I am also bound by my principles. I cannot fight for a cause I do not fully understand. Tell me more about your mission."
Sterling gestured toward the town, Where soldiers moved with purpose, Fortifying their positions. "We have taken Gołdap with minimal resistance, But we know the Germans will retaliate. Our objective is to secure all of Prussia & push back against their expansion. We need your combat abilities and your wisdom to guide us through the challenges ahead."
"I am a warrior, But I am also a protector," Diana said, Her voice softening as she looked around at the people. "I fight to save lives, not to claim victory at any cost. What assurances can you give me that this fight is just?"
"I promise you this fight is for the people," Sterling replied, His tone firm. "We aim to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I've seen the devastation that war brings, And I won't let my troops or the civilians suffer needlessly. With you by our side, We can turn the tide, Defend the Polish homes, And restore hope."
Diana nodded slowly, Contemplating his words. She could sense his sincerity & the passion that drove him. "And what of your command? Will you allow me to lead in combat, To make decisions in the heat of battle?"
Sterling's eyes brightened with resolve. "Absolutely. Your experience & judgment are invaluable. I believe in a collaborative approach; If we are to succeed, We must work together, Each bringing our strengths to the table."
Diana smiled faintly, A spark of determination igniting in her heart. "Then I will fight with you, Sterling Schnee. Together, we will stand against tyranny and defend the innocent."
"Thank you, Diana," Sterling said, Relief flooding through him. "With your strength & our combined forces, We will show the world that we stand united against oppression."
As they spoke, A sense of camaraderie began to form between them. Diana, With her warrior spirit & compassionate heart, Felt a renewed sense of purpose. She would not just fight; She would lead by example, Inspiring those around her to rise against the darkness.
"Let us prepare for the next phase of your campaign," Diana said, Her voice filled with determination. "I will not only fight at your side; I will ensure our strategy reflects the need to protect those caught in the crossfire."
Sterling nodded, Feeling invigorated by her presence. "We will gather our forces and brief everyone on our next moves. With you here, We have a chance to turn this war into a fight for justice."
As they moved together to join the troops, Sterling felt a profound sense of hope. With Wonder Woman as their ally, They could inspire not only their soldiers but also the civilians who had been oppressed. The battle ahead would be fierce, but with Diana by his side, He felt ready to face whatever challenges awaited them.
"Let's make a stand for freedom," Sterling declared, Determination echoing in his voice as they stepped into the heart of their mission. As they did, The soldiers around them looked on, Their spirits lifted by the sight of the legendary warrior ready to join their fight.

The Leader of the Death Angels Division said.
Sterling had smiled at the news. "This is MTC Founder 1 to Angel 1-1. Great job! I agree with your approach to arming The United Baltic States citizens, We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Tilsit (Sovetsk)."
"Solid Copy Sir!" Death Angels Leader said.
Sterling's Command Radio crackles to life again. "This is Eagle 1-1 to MTC Founder 1, From 101st Airborne Division, Known as the "Screaming Eagles" Have successfully touched down & are currently engaged in heavy resistance in the town of Pillau. We have faced minimal friendly casualties so far, But the enemy is well entrenched and heavily fortified. I repeat, We need immediate attack helicopter support to break through their defenses. Over."
Sterling's heart raced as he processed the urgent report. The Screaming Eagles were known for their resilience, And hearing they were in a tough spot heightened the gravity of the situation. He quickly responded, His voice steady and authoritative. "This is MTC Founder 1 to Eagle 1-1. Understood. We're mobilizing attack helicopters to your location immediately. Hold your position & keep us updated on enemy movements."
"Roger that, MTC Founder 1. We'll maintain our position, But we can't hold out forever without support. The enemy is using heavy artillery and machine gun nests to suppress our advance. We need those helicopters as soon as possible. Eagle 1-1 out."
As the transmission ended, Sterling's voice crackled through the radio, Urgency dripping from every word. "This is MTC Founder 1 to AFB, Requesting CAS from Ten AH-64 Apaches to provide immediate support for Eagle 1-1 in the town of Pillau. The Screaming Eagles are facing heavy resistance from entrenched enemy positions, Including artillery & machine gun nests. They require our air support to break the stalemate and enable a ground advance."
"This is AFB To MTC Founder 1, Copy that!" Came the reply from the command center overseeing the air support. "We'll scramble Ten AH-64s immediately. ETA to Pillau is approximately eight minutes. We'll coordinate with Eagle 1-1 to ensure we have the latest intel on enemy positions."
"Excellent," Sterling confirmed, Relief washing over him at the prompt response. "Ensure the pilots have clear visuals on the targets & maintain communication with the Screaming Eagles for real-time updates. We need to maximize impact and minimize collateral damage."
"Understood, MTC Founder 1. We're on it."
Sterling's Command Radio again crackles to life. "This is Alpha 1-1 to MTC Founder 1, From 1st Special Forces, Known as the "Red Right Hand" Have successfully secured the town of Marienwerder with minimal resistance. Our advance was swift, and we encountered only light skirmishes on the outskirts. The enemy appeared unprepared for our assault, and we have effectively taken control of the area without significant casualties on our side. Over."
Sterling's heart lifted at the news. Marienwerder was strategically important, and its capture would bolster their supply lines and provide a foothold for further operations. "This is MTC Founder 1 to Alpha 1-1. Outstanding work! I'm glad to hear the operation was successful. Can you provide any intel on the enemy's current positions and strength in the area?"
"Affirmative, MTC Founder 1. We've secured key locations, including the local government building and communication hubs. The enemy presence is minimal, But we have gathered reports of scattered pockets of resistance to the northwest. They seem to be regrouping, likely anticipating a counterattack," Alpha 1-1 replied, His voice steady and professional.
"Excellent work, Alpha. I want you to fortify your positions and prepare for any potential German counterattacks. Reinforce the perimeters and maintain communication lines with us. We may need to call on your forces again shortly," Sterling instructed, feeling the pressure of the overall campaign weighing on him.
"Understood, MTC Founder 1. We'll remain vigilant and ready for any orders. Alpha 1-1 out."
As the radio went silent, Sterling turned to Diana, who had been listening closely. "That's another victory for us. With Marienwerder secured, we have more options for our next moves."
Diana nodded, her eyes bright with determination. "We need to capitalize on this momentum. If the enemy is regrouping in Königsberg, They should leverage their position in Marienwerder to apply pressure from both sides."
Sterling's Command Radio again crackles to life. "This is Charlie 1-1 to MTC Founder 1, From 3rd Special Forces, Known as the "Law's Left Hand" Have successfully secured the town of Rastenburg with no resistance encountered whatsoever. Our advance was remarkably smooth, And we faced no significant challenges as we moved through. The enemy seemed to have abandoned their positions here, Allowing us to take control without any conflict. Over."
Sterling felt a surge of optimism at Charlie 1-1's report. "This is MTC Founder 1 to Charlie 1-1. Fantastic work! The capture of Rastenburg is a critical gain for our operations. Can you confirm the current status of enemy forces in the area?"
"Affirmative, MTC Founder 1. As of now, we have not detected any enemy presence within the town itself. We suspect they may be regrouping elsewhere or have retreated further back. Our troops are currently securing the area and establishing defensive positions," Charlie 1-1 replied, His voice calm & authoritative.
"That's excellent news," Sterling said, A smile breaking across his face. "With Rastenburg, Marienwerder, and the town of Pillau either secured or under our control, We're beginning to establish a solid front against the Germans. I want you to fortify your positions & prepare for any potential counterattacks. Intelligence suggests they may regroup to try and reclaim lost territory."
"Understood, MTC Founder 1. We'll maintain a defensive posture and keep our eyes open for any movement. Charlie 1-1 out."
As the transmission ended, Sterling turned to Diana, Buoyed by the string of victories. "With Rastenburg secured, We have effectively cut off German supply lines in this region. It's a significant blow to their operational capabilities."
Sterling's Command Radio again crackles to life. "This is Charlie 2-1 to MTC Founder 1, From 4th Special Forces, Known as the "Front Runners" Have successfully secured the town of Angerburg with all German forces surrendering without resistance. Our advance was straightforward, and we encountered no opposition as we moved into the town. The enemy appeared to have retreated, leaving behind their positions and equipment. Angerburg is now firmly under our control. Over."
Sterling's eyes widened in surprise and delight at the news. "This is MTC Founder 1 to Charlie 2-1. Exceptional work! The fact that you encountered no resistance is remarkable. This is another vital victory for us. Can you assess the situation in Angerburg and report on any remaining enemy assets?"
"Affirmative, MTC Founder 1. We're currently conducting a sweep of the area. Initial reports indicate that the enemy has abandoned their posts, but we're checking for any remaining personnel or equipment that could be salvaged. We'll also establish defensive positions immediately to secure our hold on the town," Charlie 2-1 replied, his tone professional and reassuring.
"Excellent. Reinforce your positions and prepare for the possibility of counterattacks," Sterling instructed, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. "We cannot afford to let our guard down, especially with the Germans regrouping in other areas."
"Understood, MTC Founder 1. We'll maintain a defensive posture and keep the lines of communication open. Charlie 2-1 out."
As the transmission ended, Sterling turned to Diana, excitement evident in his voice. "With Angerburg now secured, we are making significant strides in our campaign. This gives us a crucial foothold from which we can launch further operations into German territory."
Diana nodded, her expression serious. "We need to continue pressing our advantage. Each town we secure not only weakens the enemy but also strengthens our position. If we can keep this momentum, we could strike a decisive blow against their forces."

August 30, 1939, 2:10 P.M. Germany, Outside of Gumbinnen.
"Neo, Check the drone feeds again," Sterling instructed, Concerned by the absence of resistance. "Are we seeing any movement?"
Neo quickly accessed the data, Her brow furrowing as she scanned the live feeds. "It appears that the Germans are in entrenched positions, Including Medium Tanks (Panzerkampfwagen IV Sd. Kfz. 161/Panzer IV) & Light Machine Gun nests." She reported, Neo typed tinged with disbelief. "There's heavy signs of organized resistance."
Sterling began meticulously laying out the details of his plan. "Ok then is the plan, Diana you'll attack Gumbinnen from the West with the 10 M1 KVTs, 15 T-90 (Red Eyes), And Lastly 10 M1A2 SEPv3s, Neo you will be attacking from the East with the 20 Leopard 2 (PzBtl 123s), 20 M1A2 Abrams, And Lastly 10 M1A2 SEPv3s, And Commander Elà Williams (Leader of "Last to Fall", Callsign Epsilon 1-1) You'll be attacking from the South where we are now you'll be using the Tanks that just arrived M4A2 (76) Ws, Sherman M48s, M4A3 (76) Ws, M4/T26s, Sherman Fireflies, And Super T1E1s," Sterling explained.
Sterling proceeded to provide a thorough explanation of the tasks and activities that he would be undertaking. "I…" Sterling summons a Custom AH-64 Apache helicopter to provide air support & also uses his Pip-Pad to use his "Interdimensional Summoning" And summons "Alicia Zen" A human from Earth-035 to operate the Gunner seat, Ensuring a skilled and reliable team for the mission. "I & Alicia Zen will provide Air Support for you during this Assault on Gumbinnen," Sterling said.
"I understand, Sterling. We'll push hard and fast. The Element of Surprise is on our side," Diana replied, Her eyes reflecting a fierce determination. "I'll ensure that our forces are prepared to engage the enemy immediately."
"Neo, Once your tanks have engaged, Coordinate with Diana & Commander Elà. The goal is to keep the enemy off balance and prevent them from regrouping," Sterling instructed, Turning to Neo.
"Absolutely. I'll keep the UAVs active to monitor the battlefield & relay intel as it comes in," Neo typed rapidly, Already pulling up the live feed of the area surrounding Gumbinnen.
"Commander Elà, Your role is equally vital. The Southern Assault will apply pressure from a different angle, Allowing us to encircle the enemy & cut off their escape routes. Make sure your troops are ready to adapt as the situation evolves," Sterling added, Locking eyes with Elà.
"Understood, General Schnee. We'll move Swiftly & Decisively," Elà confirmed, Her voice steady and confident.
Sterling took a moment to gather his thoughts before issuing the final orders. "Once we receive the signal that we're in position, We'll launch all Three Assaults Simultaneously. This will maximize our chances of overwhelming the German defenses. I want everyone to stay in close contact; Any changes in the enemy's position could alter our strategy."
Sterling confidently strides towards the sleek, Formidable AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, Its rotor blades slicing through the air with a powerful whoosh. With a sense of purpose, He approaches the aircraft, Ready to embark on a mission filled with adrenaline and determination. As Sterling reached the Custom Apache, He took a moment to appreciate the advanced technology and firepower it represented. The helicopter was a formidable weapon, equipped with missiles & a Double 50mm cannon, Ready to unleash its fury upon the enemy. He climbed into the cockpit, Feeling the vibrations of the engines beneath him as the pilot's seat adjusted to his frame.
"Alright, Alicia," Sterling said, Addressing the newly summoned ally seated in front of him in the gunner's position. "We're about to engage the enemy at Gumbinnen. Your role will be critical in providing air support & keeping the enemy at bay. I'll need you to focus on any armored units and provide cover for the ground forces as they advance."
Alicia Zen, A determined-looking young woman with a fierce gaze, nodded in understanding. "I'm ready, General Schnee. Just give me the targets, And I'll take care of them."
Sterling initiated a systems check, Ensuring that all the weapons & communication systems were operational. "Once we're airborne, I'll coordinate with the ground forces for real-time updates on enemy positions. Let's make sure we maximize our impact."
As the Apache lifted off the ground, Sterling's heart raced with anticipation. The view from the cockpit was exhilarating; The landscape stretched out before him, Dotted with patches of forest and the distant outline of Gumbinnen. He could see the smoke from artillery engagements rising in the air, A stark reminder of the battle ahead.
"Neo, Can you provide situational updates from the UAV feeds?" Sterling asked, His voice calm and collected despite the tension in the air.
"Of course! I'll monitor the battlefield and relay any changes," Neo responded through the comms, Her fingers flying over her Pip-pad as she accessed the live drone feeds.
As they flew toward Gumbinnen, Sterling began to explain the situation further. "Alicia, you may not be familiar with this world. In Earth-194, The stakes are high, And the battle for freedom is real. The Polish people are fighting against the oppressive Nazi regime, And our mission is not just to secure territory—it's to protect lives & preserve the very Essence of Freedom."
Alicia nodded, Her expression resolute. "I understand the importance of this mission. Back in my world, I've fought for justice & against tyranny as well. I'll do whatever it takes to help you succeed."
"You have two weapon systems at your disposal: The Double 50mm Cannons & the Tow Missiles. It's important to use them strategically and effectively." Sterling explained.
