Reich War

The victory of Nazi Americaball in the US had great influence in Europe, the fascists sweared they would end the era of socialism founded by the New Soviet Unionball after the Great War in Eastern Europe. The New Soviet Union was very attent to these neo fascists in Europe who had emerged en masse mostly after the French Post-split Wars.

With the fall of Republic of Greater Germanyball, the peace treaty signed between the remnants of NATO with the Soviets had officially being ended by the Reichtangle. However it was not taken serious because they quickly sunk into the Reich Civil War.

The Reich Civil War was sponsered by the Second British Empireball that had a simple policy of destroying the Reichtangle in order to save its own economic interests. This ended the relatively peaceful climate of Europe since the British and Soviets signed the truce after the Great War in Eastern Europe.

During the 2290s, the Soviet leader Ljubomir Ivkovic adopted the policy of "militarized thick sight", that came from the assumption that Nazi Americaball wasn't a real threat to the Soviet Union because they would end up eventually falling, due to the civil war in North America and the lack of actual support they have from inside. Therefore no military action against the Nazis in America should be taken other than military aid to the communists there.

The militarized thick sight wasn't kept the same way toward Reichtangle on the other hand, Ivkovic was worried about them and the adventures of the Second British Empireball at the war and decided to not directly interfere there as he considered the war to be a result of degenerate capitalist bourgeois politics.

In 2295 he included in his militarized thick sight the support for communist partisans in Germany. He intended to wait for the collapse of the entire of Western Europe political system before being able to act and annexx all of it at once as a Soviet territory and prevent the British onslaught.

Ivkovic died in 2299, and was followed by Isidoros Stamatis that continued his policy of military thick sight but was removed after four years following scandals of bureucratic corruption.

Stamatis treated the Reichtangle at this point as an equally incompetent far right countryball that couldn't even unite the Germans. He said they would be internally destroyed and that the Soviet Union shouldn't attack it now, instead continue focusing on military developments in order to secure absolute capacity of defending itself against one last offensive.

After the Reichtangle won the German Civil War and annexed Austria-Bavariaball they launched a recovery plan followed by a counter offensive against Swedenmarkball that had actively supported the Reich opponents in the war.

The Reich forces seiged Denmark and took it after weeks of bloody battles. This time the Soviets took the lead in the war and before the British could move their navy to prevent a Reich attack against Sweden, the Soviets were there already to occuppy what rested of old Swedenmark.

In France, the war was restored as a consequence of the French Restoration War, many Germanophile French took in arms to fight against the British backed government. The strategy of the Fourth Reich was basically that, create riots and make neo fascists take arms in order to start insurgencies and then interfere. That's what they did in France.

The British didn't want the Reich forces to have access to key military locations in France, so they launched an invasion of it in order to contain the Germans.

Second British Empireball was the countryball that owned more nuclear weapons than any other since they confiscated the French, German and many American ones, having the peak of it technology. Though the Soviets, Koreans and Chinese were quickly working to revert that. Before launching an offensive against France, the British nuked the German region of Saxony. Which was condemned by the Soviets as a silly way to intimidate them.

At the same time the Reich and its allies were destroying France, they were also trying to destroy the Soviet Union. As the Reich predicted a neo fascist insurgency in all of Europe in order to topple down the era started by the Soviets. They started to give weapons to separatists in Yugoslavia, more specifically to neo nazis in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia, also to ultranationalists in Hungary and Poland.

When the first insurgencies started taking place in Poland and Yugoslavia (that one specifically was seen was a strategic point of neo fascist and nationalist insurgency because of its multi-ethnic nature), the Soviets ordered the bombing of Reich positions in Germany.

This time the Soviets knew about the Reich plans of eventually going to war with them. Vladimir Khodakovsky, a war hero, assumed and took a radical position on the Reich situation that departures from two assumptions, the first that the security of the Soviet state would come first in every single aspect, and the second that the Soviet involvement in the war should be in favor of bringing the communist revolution to as many countries as possible.

Following the uprisings in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria by neo fascists, the Fourth Reich for one moment thought they could win the war and decided to further their offensives against the Soviet Union, which ended up being a mistake.

While the Reich concentrated a lot of effort into fully annexing France and recover their nuclear weapons, they ended up being easily destroyed in the other front.

Far from being a new Nazi Germany, the so called "Fourth Reich" was a desperate attempt of neo fascists and ultranationalists to recover their countries taken from the Soviets and the British capital.

The Soviet leader declared the war was "the last reckoning" between the socialist bloc and the old capitalist structure that used to reign in Europe. They had first beaten the capitalist bankers and liberal leadership and had to following it beat up the fascists and the far right that would eventually try to reclaim the old order. He pointed out positive effects of the conflict, like the expansion of the communist movement and eventually the utterly defeat of the fascism and the far right in Europe as a political force.

For the Western bloc, Germany had collapsed as a guide member of the Eurozone at that point.
