Wien University A crowd, assembled also that morning in front of Chancellery Doom looked from the windows and what he saw descourage him. Fortune was missing and no one knows where she was. Xamot was stopped by hungarian army in Budapest and was unable to reache Wien to break the popular siege. Only the faithfull Valker was near him. "Valker", adressed him "is my mother save?" "Yes Herr Chancellor, i have shipped her in Catholic Europe two days before", Valker replied with deference "It's strange", said Doom "how a name can be powerfull", sighed "i have understimated loyalism toward the Habsburg, also if i'll be a Hyunday i cannot destroy the Habsburg power" The most sad thing is that he was affectively a Hyunday as his mother said him, he had ever wonder if she lied to him and sometime he thought that the right answer was yes. His mother, Cynthia Von Doom was knew as a witch and a demoness and perhaps it is true. The shout continued for long "Doom! your Doom is now!!!" "Doom! your Doom is now". He looked again out of the windows, again he saw a crowd that was hating him. And to think that just a week before they were all with him. "Valker", ordered "ready to prepare my personal plane". "What my lord?", said "you...you leave...?" "Yes i leave, this country, i cannot admit defeat", Doom was angry "would you prefer that i resign in the hand of this Philipp Karl?". Valker stayed silent. "Licthenstein betrays me, the cardinal of Budapest betrys me, perhaps Shoenborn, the cardinal of Wien Betrays me", for a moment he thougth that tear drop should fall from his eyes "and Fortune too betrays me". Ha walked wor a long time on the carpet alone, waiting for the return of Valker "But i can take my vengance too", he tooke the phone "here is Doom, pass me the high command of Yucatan". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ministery of defence, Wien Posted Image The soldiers were sorrounded the buildings and ministery clerks were arrested. Ministry himself is under arrest. Posted Image "General", said a colonel "building his ours". Lichtenstein nodded "Well colonel take me the ministry". Herr Klaus Von Calusewitz, defence ministry of Von Doom executive, was bring to the general as a common criminal. "I protest", he said. "And i rebuff your protest", answered calm the general "i have belive in Doom, he was hidding the truth, the empress his dead now he has no more the people confidence". Clausewitz replied "What for me?". "Jail until the came of Grand Duke Philipp", ordered. "You", then said to anothe official "excort me in the office of ministry". The office was fournished with many sort of conforts and was also beautyfull, but Licthenstein was a military man and was accustomed to to simplicity and usefullness. He took the phone, smiled thinking that he was seeing a telephone revolution, where all the action are made by mail or phone and little blood was shed. "Here Licthenstein, give me Budapest", waited until the phone line contact Defence ministry of Hungary. Hungary was another matter, it was not Austria and may be Budapest should give some resistence. "Yes general", aswered a voice "arrest the red guard". |

Budapest, morning The burstes of the rifles echoed in the streets of the city and some dead bodies lied in on the ground. The red guards refused to surrender. Only minor barracks, for exemple Pecs put down weapons, Budapest tried to resist and the agents of secret service, with some police man, joined the revolts. "Come on boys", shouted Sergent Miklas Marzty "come", a burst of rounds disintegrated a corner, some red gurads were resisting behind some garbage bins. Nikols ordered to stop "Down boys down", said. The guards were well protected and seemed very confident. "Here Squad two, here squad two", said to radio "i found an enemy patrol resisting me between Attila Utzo and Attila HìKutzo, near national Biblioteque". Posted Image Imperial soldiers fighting in the streets of Budapest "Try to bypass them", was the answer from HQ. "Negative", replied the sergent "they have occupied all biblioteque building and sorrounding streets...", was interrupted by another burst of fire. "I need support", concluded. "I'll look what i cand do for you", replied staff officer from HQ. Fort nearly two hours Marzty and his men were blocked by suppression fire from the guards and he was nearly ready to announce to HQ its retreat when on the fightings he could hear a tank. "Reiforcement", said to his men. Posted Image A light panzer clearing the way for the biblioteque The tank, with a single, shot destroyed barricade and allow other soldier to attack the biblioteque. At noon the battle was concluded in a victory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message to Hungarian soldier from First Minister of Principality of Hungary: Fortune Rosnikon Doom has lied to me, to us, to Latverians, to all the world. He was not trying to make great Hungary and Empire but only himself. If you wish fight for that man, i plaude to your honour, but i must advice that your honour is not well deposed. Juliana Von Habsburg is dead and Doom has tryied, again, to hide the truth to continue to do good and worse with the power he gave himself when the empress fell sick. Your honour lies with house of Habsburg, with Philipp because prince Istavn Hyunday has today resigned the right to rule Hungary. Surrender is not dosonohur, but honoring our ancient ruling house. |

Budapest, Parliament Palace, seat of Diet of Hungary The soldiers stormed inside like a fire, but unlike that fire they destroyed nothing or kill anyone. Nostra Hungaria the party of Chancellor Doom dissolved as snow at the sun, who is not flee away surrendered to Licthenstein soldiers or angry crowd. The red guards, strangely in the thoughts of Licthenstein, obbeyed to Fortune and surrendered. A prisoner of the guard, questioned by general himself replied "We are Gypsy, Doom lost connection with the clans, Fortune no, so Fortune is the leader of the Latverians now". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted Image Soldiers, again soldiers, in long arranged lines, rifles to the sky, faces to the plane. A russian plane. Philipp Took a breath, he was a Granduke, now he was near to become a Emperor. Khun and Redglinger were behind him. "I'll nominate them", thought "at some position, their fidelty to the dinasty is a precious jewel in this days". For the first time Budapest. The words of Fortune resonated in his ears "Budapest is where Doom is much more strong, where his red guards are and where the people is more loyal to him". Philipp has spoken with that Fortune only two times, the first after reciving the letter from his cousing Ludwig and the second before to leave Petrograd. The hatch opened and a mid-spring summer illuminate his face, Philipp didn't remove the eyes from the light "My people", said and a roar come from the army. When he was on the ground general Licthenstein kneed in front of him "Your majesty", said simply. "Stand up general, i need fighting soldiers not slaves". Licthenstein become immediatly admirer of him "An habsburg at all", thought. "Can i ask, general, why you chose me?", said Philipp "and not Doom". Licthenstein knew that before or later he shaould answered to that question "My liege", he said "i chose the dinasty, since Juliana was ill, i'll obbey to the person that she had put in power position, but now...Von Doom wish to rule himself and not in name of the dinasty". "Your faith in dinasty will rewarded general", answered Philipp. |

Wien, Chancellery Posted Image He yelled for hours, kicking evrey thing in the office. "She was a bitch, a sow", yelled to Valker "she must be killed, she must be tortured". "My lord", replied Valker "you cannot do nothing", he paused "we cannot operate in any way we are inside the chancellery and Lichtenstein is outside", paused again "with soldiers and guns". "This is a revolution!", yelled Doom apparently totally unware of Valker "i am been regularly elected from the people of this nation and nominated from the Empress". Thomas Xamot entered in the room, was wet and tired "Also the last garrison of Red Guard surrendered, i have herad that a council of elders has designed Rosnikon as ruler of Zephyro Gispy", seconds of tension "we must flee". Doom was as striked by a lightning "My own people", muttered. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", yelled with all the voice he was able "My own people", he felt on knees and cryed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budapest Zeitung Posted Image Today, for many people, here and in Austria, is a day of liberation from something very similar to a dictature. Viktor Von Doom leaves the country with a Elichopter from the roof of Chancellery Building. The crowd in Austria explosed in jubilant celebrations while hungarians are been more calm. Philipp Karl, that soon we will call emperor, has made no comment to this flee. With Doom are flee away the ministry of police anc chief of secret services Janos Valker and the red guard commander Thomas Xamot... ...A news of last hour. The Doom's Helichopter seemed to be put down by some kind of terrorist action. No claims. We are unable to tell you more because police is just on the place and is forbidden to enter in the area, classified as red zone. ...From the first news seemed that Doom, Valker and Xamot are dead. Police confirm no survivors. Yet there are no claims. Is Doom dead? |

Posted Image Hungarian Diet, today Hungaria Nostra disbanded and Diet voted a non-confidence to the last excutive ruled by Rosninok Fortune. Imperial Diet in Wien does the same and a non-confidence vote is been casted to Von Doom executive, however disperse. Since Philipp Karl is still only Grand Duke of Tuscany and not yet, neither, Apostolic King Arch Duke, or even emperor, the protempore powers are been entrusted to Janos Boka, leader of the newly formed Heritage Party. The Heritage party has proclamed an alliance with other parties, with Iron Riong too, to bring back the Habsburg on the trone and to reform the imperial constitution. The first ballot has accepted the Habsburg dinasty as ruling imperial dinasty and the votes are been very greatly casted for the "Yes", optio. However a great part of Hungarian delegates(no votes are mainly from Hungarians) voted "no" and try to philibuste a law to appoint as Emperor the young Istvan Hyundai but the opposition was no able to found signers.

Sankt Stephan Dom, Wien Posted Image The boys entered like little soldiers singing at great voice the imperial hymn of 1757. The were the best, youngest, cutiest, smartest young cadets of the military accademy of Wien. Philipp Karl has chosen himself the hymn from several possibilities and he chosen this because was the most solemn and powerfull. "Very German", he thought. This is not a coronation but only a thankgiving mass to thank God to have spared Austria-Hungary from a war and from civil desorder. Many people, much of the nobles of Austria and Hungary, were sitting in the Dome cheering when Philipp entered in with his better vestements. Red mantle with ermine collar and with Sankt Stephan cross at his neck. Slowly, with studied slowness, he took place on the trone. When he seat the crowd erupted in a great yell "Long live to the Habsburg!!! Long Live to Philipp!!!" He greeted them with a hand gesture and than inviyed the young boys to start. The young singers started their song but nearly at the start were silenced by the acclamation of the people and the cheerings. Philipp smiled "People of Austria and Hungary", said "let them sing our song, for we are building a new nation". The roar nearly destroyed the dom. Again he nearly was unable to stop the crowd "Fellows Austro-Hungarians, my loyal subjects...this boys are here to sing us the song of our new reborn family, let them do their work and keep this music in your hearts because it will be the music of our sons and doughters, the music of our Empire" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8llhDc6c5ko Posted Image The archbishop of Budapest entered in the church sorrounded by young altarboys, he was dress like the great circostances. Behind him was a great ark of gold and silver and precious stones. Philipp was surprised "The ark of the imperial crown?". He looked the priest and he smiled in return. Cardinal-Prince Johan Shoenborn was a man of many abilities and quickness was one of them. He invited the Granduke of Tuscany to rise and to exchange the peace kiss. Whe he did so he wishpered "This is the right time your Imperial Majesty, like Charlemagne you will crowned by the will of God itself" Posted Image Philippus Karolus Habsburgus Lorenae, the cardinal said in perfect latin. Gratia Dei Romanorum Imperator Coronatus Semper Augustus, continued while a young boy gave him tre great crown that was of Charlemagne itself. Simbolum imperii, and putted the crown on Philipp head. Then a boy gave him a spear Benedicta cum Sanguine Christi, Lancia passionis., Philipp took also the spear and Shoenborn continued Ut defendes Orbem Christianum.

Budapest, Diet Palace "Delegates", said Fortune "i resign from the position of chancellor of Hungary and return my power to his Imperial Majesty Philipp II Von Habsburg-Lotharingen". A roar of applauses submerged the hall and many delegates of the left parties also stand up to clap their hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budapest, Diet Palace, Days later Akos Nordau was the oldest member of the Diet and, by law, the person who must entrusted the Diet keys to the new First Minister of Hungary: Janos Boka. "I Janos Boka", said "swear fidalty to the dinasty and to the nation of Hungary and to Empire". A roar of applauses exploded in the hall. Boka looked the faces he had infront, many of them supported Doom when he was in power and he belived many supported him now as well. Fortunaly Austria freed itself from Doom because Habsburg loyality was more much strong. The fall of Wien had took with it the fall of Budapest and freedom for the empire, when the delegate clapped the hands he clapped too. Something to rebuild is better than nothing. Philipp II° Von habsburg was a peacefull intellectual with a great politic knowledge, the text he wrote was clear and simple: a new constitution for the Empire and a reformed electoral sistem. Boka and egylleti society and the heritage party were ready to accept it. Iron ring, propobably, found it too more liberal and socielistes too more...liberal...but they voted the law anyway, times are changing and no one can oppose to change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imperial Speech to unified television channels Posted Image I have swear to come to Wien and freed the country and freed the people, you my people. I struggle to free you from the hands of traitors and judas. I succed. Times are changing and the past is past. Now Hungary and Austria will be united forever in a new, firm pact. We are now, again and forevere, the same nation I have heard the difficulties of this years and and the struggles you has suffered my people. I lied if i promise you miracles. These new changing times are full of promises, of peace, stability and growth but this goods will not come now. There will also times of suffering when we will spit blood and wet to rebuild Hungary and to rebuild Austria, to rebuild the Empire. They will be hard times but we, the peoples of Austria and Hungary, we will fight togheder to restor our own nation. People. I love you and i fight with you. |

Wien, Keiserlichstag building Posted Image Philipp took his place in his own seat, where the Emperor traditionally oversaw the Diet, now Keiserlichstag, works. Political horizon is changed in so few time that many Austro-Hungarian citezens were not able to decide what party support. Philipp smiled when looked Karoly Verbazs, leader of the Hungarian Iroin Ring. "Damn old fox", thought "the iron ring was able to switch side and left Nostra Hungaria at the right time". Now Verbasz was the leader of the Free Democratic Party a force that seems to promise to contribute much to political life of the country. Boka took his place as Chancellor of the Empire. Boka was running a technical administration until new election cannot be held "And it is just a matter of days", Philipp thought, not casually Boka speech will be on the necessity to go to elections. And truly Bokas wqas right Heritage party, Boka one, is existing only on the paper and the new forces liberated by the fall of Von Doom, Philipp belived, were not so happy. Boka speech lasted nearly one hour and Philipp resume to himself in three word "We need stability". "Yes", emperor throught "we need peace and stability, i hope that with elections this chapeter will be closed", sighed "i have many things to do and many things to learn". |

Florence, Capital of the Etriscan Repubblic, Palazzo della signoria Posted Image The people walked has they were usually did, but that day in Palazzo della signoria there were peoples talking about future. Mauro Rabatti was one of them, one of the most powerfull people in Etrurian politics. He was president of the Prato province. Prato was the second city of the repubblic and the most rich. He was reading La Nazione, the paper of Prato and the news delight him so little that he destroyed the paper. When Tuscany was part of Catholic Europe were the priestes that ruled the country. Mauro think that was a not good thing...but at least there is a government, now... "Only talking pigs and unuseful stupids". A air fleet of HRE attacked and conquered Elba island without shooting an hit and in Florence. "in Florence they talk", thought, the paper report the new discoveries of Margerita Hack, a famous astronomer and not a word about the loss of Elba. "This was insulting for my own intelligence, for the intelligence of all tuscanian peoples!". Tusacany fallen in the hands of CE at the end of XIX° century "may be is this long time we live has slave that has closed our minds?". Maour found no answers and when Fabio Martini, President of the repubblic started to talk about the new stadium, he left the hall. |

Florence, Etruscan Republican. "The situation is dark, gentlemen," the councilor Mauro Rabatti was alarmed, Siena had fallen a few hours before to the emperor and the situation of the young republic seemed totally compromised. "Do not you see," he said in the Senate "that the situation calls for desperate and extreme measures , or perhaps you want ...". He was interrupted by a young army soldier bringing a sheet in the hands of the President of the Republic. The gavel fell a couple of times to ask for silence. "Gentlemen," he said, "Arezzo has sworn allegiance in the hands of General of the Empire ...", his voice trembled " Prato is about to leave the republic. " Mauro did not end even to hear threw the chair and watched the president of the republic. "The only solution," he said, "is an honorable capitulation that enables us to maintain some freedom."

The defeat of Montaperti left no doubt to anyone about who was winner of the war: The Western Roman Empire, as grandly called, or rather, Austria and Hungary. People had large massed along the streets to see the winner army parade in the city. Jakob Redingler was appointed supreme commander of the campaign and arrived by helicopter to lawn several hours after the battle had surrendered. 'General', the mayor was even unctuous in speech "welcome", and his German was not very good. Redglinger replied in Italian, which however was terrible "Thank you for the welcome and hospitality that the city has given me and my troops." The city hall was a beautiful classic which stood beside the Praetorian Palace, a building of great antiquity and very beautiful. Pointing to the mayor said, "You generally stayed there and there you'll have your headquarters." "Very well," Redlinger said, "Excuse me now," said the mayor "Now I recall, there is a war plan to be developed." |

Day of Campaldino Posted Image The surrender was inevitable. Everyone knew, even before deploying troops on the field of Campaldino. A Campaldino the Guelphs of Florence inflicted the Ghibellines of Arezzo, and their imperial allies, who canceled a decisive defeat on the imperial power from Northern Italy for a long time. Today's generals know that this Tuscan does not recur. The massive deployment of forces of the empire, thanks to the support of the Tuscan city passed from his hand, is much larger and more numerous forces than the republic one. Yet when the battle starts soldiers are brave until its last legs, even under the blows of the most powerful force area and under the tracks of the larger tanks they are fighting, and with courage. At first the troops of the republic, holed up in the river Archia bed reject a pair of attacks by the Austro-Hungarian infantry who suffers heavy losses even. However, around noon, the battle for control of the skies had already turned in favor of empire and the few fighters and helicopters retreated in disarray trying to use a runway. Then the tanks advanced class Attila Empire in good order, covering the infantry. In few minutes the blood that fè l'Archia rosso Finally, after a day-ending Etruscan forces retreated to Arezzo.

Florence, what Florence, what remains of Etruscan republic. "We are doomed," Mauro Rabtti was sitting on the porch of his terrace that overlooks the town and looks around. Although the imperial army had inflicted a final defeat Tuscan army losses were also severe for them and many soldiers were lying on the bed of the Ark Austro-Hungarian Empire. For now, the horizon was clear. Course Mauro knew what was coming, he had always known since the Emperor had claimed this land in his name: the imperial power could not be resisted. How many times in the council had asked for reasonableness? Surrender was the best solution yet ... Yet even now the military hungered after a last stand in the city that had been designed as an entrenched camp. It was not an easy decision what he must take. Soon, very soon, the ghibellin army would move to Florence and he had little choice. Or join the fighting or prevent the battle, but to do so he needed help and should have been in the military. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted Image OCC: My home town Cathedral Prato, Cathedral of Santo Stefano.

The empire claims the North Italy His Majesty Philip IV. By the grace of God Emperor of the Romans. Once belonged to the sacred lands of the Roman Empire. It must be so again, Italy is now left without a pastor and, as a frightened sheeps, its cities are in chaos. Empire duty is to restore peace and order. Therefore it is the intention of the dual monarchy, extending its borders to join the lands of Tuscany to those beyond the Alps. We urge all other nations of Europe to recognize this sacred task, and not to prevent us from extending our borders as this is not war of conquest but of lberazione.
