Belgrade, Serbia Posted Image Otokar Premysl had met Maria Karageorgevich years ago, in Prague. Theirs had been love at first sight: Maria Karageorgevich had a lazy elegance, that beauty which belonged to the concubines in the Sultans' harem centuries ago, and she took a liking to that officer of the Ducal Guard who was not thought to be destined to the throne. For once there was a royal marriage that could not be explained by mere political machinations. From the archaic and warlike Serbia, the Karageorgevich occupied a very secondary place in Europe, and their relations with the external world were kept to a minimum. However, now the two dinasties were to unite their fates. The marriage was to be held in Prague, very soon, and it promessed to be an important gathering for Europe's aristocracy. The peace of few years ago, when the fiancés had met, had been changed for the worse by various events. There had been the Crusades, then the war in Hungary, and now the re-birth of the Habsburgic Empire. For those reasons, to the external observer, this seemed to be an attempt by Marslava to grab more influence in the Balkans. And indeed, something else was at work in Belgrade during these days. The Marslavan delegation which visited Belgrade was vast and included various diplomats, businessmen, men of culture. The marriage between the Grand Duke Otokar Premysl and Maria Karageorgevich was a good occasion for concluding important business deals. Such a large delegation was paralleled by a smaller and more discete one. Major Horka was the head of this smaller delegation. The unofficial group was nothing else than a group of agents of the Marslavan Security Department and they brought certain gifts to the Serbs. Lazar Vijnic, warlord of the Karageorgevich, sat next to him as he talked animately. The Serbs were a warlike but disorganized people, he said, with an alliance with Marslava their courage could be disciplined and brought to better ends. The presents of the Grand Duke to the Serbian people were portentuous, and was something the Karageorgevich had always desired. Ten Aeros Albatros with Marslavan pilots, technicians and trainers had been offered to the Karageorgevich. The Hungarians, had realized the Marslavans, had lost their war against the C.E.D.O forces because they did not have a decent air force. If the Serbs were to be an effective military power they would have to become capable of fighting in the skies. Posted Image Vijnic had wanted to see the Albatros in action, and he was delighted as he sat and observed how fastly one Marslavan fighter started its flight. Above the head of Vijnic and Horka, the pilot executed an admirable acrobacy, showcasing all the plane's rapidity and agility. Vijnic and his lieutenants were in high spirits: they had an air force and they had the manforce necessary to make it function. The Albatros turned and landed swiftly among the joy of the Serbs. "This is a gift" said Major Horka "from the Marslavan people, to tell you that our commitment is serious". Vijnic agreed:"Our survival - of the Serbs, of the Czechs, of the Slovaks - depends upon this alliance, we are surrounded by enemies, both Slavs and not who await the first occasion to end our independence". Major Horka now took a serious expression "But the Serbs are not innocent as they would like us to think". Vijnic seemed surprised."The Hungarian archives in Budapest fell in our hands: theyinclude information on the contacts between the Hungarians and an organization called Translava. According to those documents, the connivence between Serbia and Translava is extensive, at times it is hard to distinguish between the two. Our understanding is that the leadership of Translava and the Voivode are not one. Our documents tell us you were one of the Admiral's contacts in Serbia, we would like you to arrange a meeting with Translava". |

Initially, Translava watched the growing Marslavan influence in Serbia with great apprehension and distrust. As the historic and logistical headquarters for the organization, Serbia was Translava's "home-base" so to speak and the incursion from any outsider was deemed risky and was treated as hostile. While the Marslavans were Slavs, and undoubtedly not Translava's true enemies (that honor could only go to the Habsburgic Austrians), the organizational leadership had not forgotten the late C.E.D.O alliance, nor would it forget the Marslavan's joint invasion of Hungary alongside Austria. If Translava was apposed to anything it was subjugation by a foreign power - regardless if that came from Vienna or Prague. For Translava, the Balkans had only one mind, one identity, and one goal. These were the three pillars of the organization and they cared little for the Marslavan claims on being the "protector of the Slavs" for Translava knew what the Marslavans really wanted. Power was the drug which led states of every religion, creed, and ideology to all forms of imperialism and influence. The Marslavan power struggle with Austria was and never would be for the people of Balkans. It was purely the machinations of one state's quest for power and influence over the other. While these were the opinions of the organizational leader's (Who ever they were?), Translava was not opposed to opening a dialogue with Prague. After all, it was Austria that presented the more immediate threat. Perhaps, the Marslavans could be used to the organization's benefit? The shadowy organization allowed an untraceable message to be transported to the Marslavans through their Karageorgevich contacts. It read:

The matter of the Balkans had been complicaating even more in the last months. Reports had come that the Emperor in Costantinople had decided to re-claim the lands that had belonged previously to the once-formidable throne: Albania had thus been seized and now Serbia and Dalmatia were threatened as well. The threat represented by the Romans (who kept calling themselves in that way even if they spoke Greek) was as great - and perhaps greater - than the expansionist plans of Austria. Now, Marslava and Translava needed each other even more. This was because Marslava could not secure a real alliance without the blessing of Translava, which influenced vast areas of Serbian society, and Translava would need the support - or at least the acquiescence - of Marslava. Indeed, the awesome military industry of Marslava made it a partner with which it woud be profitable to do business. Translava was a shadowy organization which exercised real influence behind the Karageorgevic throne - with many claiming that the Voivoda was either the head, or the puppet, or simply the ally of Translava. Translava also had shown that its operatives were highly capable fighters who could withstand the onslaught of an armed force of good repute such as Austria's. The royal marriage between the Grand Duke Otokar and the Maria of the Karageorgevich dinasty would take place in a fortnight, uniting the two dynasties. It was however clear that Marslava would need to settle the further issue of Translava before it could consider that an alliance with the Serbian people existed. Major Horka was to be Translava's first Marslavan contact. Having served in Hungary, he had some knowledge of the organization and its links with the Hungarians. Moreover, he spoke very well the Serb language. Accompanied by a small escort of men from the Marslavan Security Service, he set for the place where the meeting was to be convened. What he was going to propose was not an alliance, but an acknowledgement of each other's activities and coordination in case of external aggression. He was curious to see what the men of Translava would propose. |

Translava had increased its activities in recent weeks following the Byzantine invasion. While Albania and Macedonia represented the furthest vestiges of the organization's zone of influence, small cadres of infiltrators and saboteurs made their way into the occupied areas and began gathering intelligence on the invasion. Sabotage was kept at a minimum for the time being, but tiny acts of subversion were orchestrated to show the Byzantines that Translava had arrived. In the west, Austrian incursions by new, highly trained operators were becoming more and more prevalent and Translava was initially paralyzed to react. However, eventually the organization regained its footing and began conducting surveillance of these new fast moving Austrian units. Something was brewing in the west, and coupled with the Byzantine invasion, Translava became more willing to work with Marslava. The Marslavans possessed raw military might and the economic power to supply a small organization for years, however Translava had an edge that the Marslavans could only dream of - trust and cooperation from the local population. Translava had access to full disclosure on all intelligence gathered by local civilians whether they be Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, or Hungarians. When this information was coupled with Translava's tenacious fighting capabilities, the Austrians (and inevitably the Byzantines) would have to take notice. The Marslavans had also taken notice, a fact made abundantly clear by their agreement to meet with the organization. If the two powers could normalize relations then perhaps the Balkans could be protected more efficiently from outside encroachment. An understanding of sorts would definitely be paramount for Marslavan plans in Serbia. Translava did not allow just anyone into their backyard. The Marslavan contact, a Major Horka (Translavan intelligence had watched him since Hungary), and his MSS escorts had arrived at the destination alone. The meeting place, an old abandoned granite quarry, was perfect for a clandestine rendezvous, yet it made the Marslavan delegation uneasy - they were easily exposed and susceptible. Eventually, three men emerged from the darkness and approached the Marslavans. They wore civilian clothing, with hoods and balaclavas covering their faces, accompanied with a unique black armband. They introduced themselves as Maron, Kobra, and Grach. From their distinct and varying accents, the Marslavans could discern that they were from different Balkan countries entirely. Major Horka was surprised further to learn that none of them had ever even met the other before. Pleasantries were terse and straight forward, the Translavan agents awaited what the Marslavans would propose. |

Marslava and Translava had to reach an understanding. However, the two parties did not know each other's intention well and the atmosphere was tense. Major Horka started "It will be good to say at first that I am not going to tell you lies, and that I expect you to do the same. It is important for those who are above me to have a good understanding with Translava, so that we do not impede each other's actions. After all, we share the same adversaries.". "Marslava does not support Translava in all its designs. However, it wants to see the Balkans free of interference of external powers - neither Austria, nor Byzantium. And it is disposed to work aside - even help - those parties which share that purpose. Our commitment is shown by our alliance with the rulers of Belgrade, your associates, whose military capabilities we are enhancing. What we would like to have here is a kind of pact of non aggression: Translava will not attack Marslava and viceversa. Your operatives will not be attacked by our secret services, and vice versa. And, finally, there is the idea of collaborating more if Serbia was to be attacked from outside". The offer, thought the Major, was fair as it left much freedom of action to the two parties. This was little more than an agreement of non aggression between the two sides, and it was in the interest of Translava to accept. Indeed, the two entities could hurt each other very much and this would only mean harm to the cause of pan-slavism. The last thing that Marslava wished was to have to fight another Balkan war. If the proposal was to be accepted, the union between the Premysl and the Karageorgevic dinasties could proceed peacefully, and Translava's operations could be enhanced. |

The three men listened politely as Major Horka explained the Marslavan position. Translava, like Marslava, was keen on opposing any outside aggression upon the Balkans, especially Serbia; however, there were differences between the two parties that could make a partnership difficult. The Marslavans were audibly vocalist about protecting the general wellbeing of the Slavic peoples, yet Translava was also as audibly skeptical about such claims. The thousands of tons of military hardware poured into Translava's associate/puppet, the Karageorgevics, was seen as among many in the Balkan's as covert Marslavan imperialism rather than actual assistance. Translava had perfected anti-foreign propaganda in its recent climb for influence over the common people of Serbia and afar, and as such, Marslavan assistance was viewed negatively among the Serbian people (outside the gracious Karageorgevics). If a common understanding between both groups was to be understood then the Great Duchy would have to prove it's loyalty in a way Translava deemed appropriate. "Let us begin by stating that our organization is not opposed to this non-aggression policy," Kord replied with a heavy Bosnian accent. "You shall find no opposition or conflict from our operators, on the contrary you may even find us to be the most diligent of partners in the event of an attack on Serbia herself; however, this will not come without your assurances on a few crucial points." "First, there is no debate that Marslava does not posses the full appreciation and trust from the Serbian people, nor from the Balkans in general," Maron continued, his thick Croatian accent made abundantly clear. "Translava does, and therefore you shall need our blessing should you wish for an easy trip. What we desire from you, is an assurance that the Great Duchy is not another Austria or Byzantium disguised as a Slav. You shall prove this too us by handing over the distribution of weapons and aid to the Karageorgevic state. Your supplies will be directed to our people who will then transport it to Belgrade. This is non negotiable, as it will allow us to trust you and will force you to trust us." Second, Marslava must promise us that it will not install any lasting institutions in the Balkans without first contacting us," Grach interjected quickly. His accent was hardly foreign - an ethnic Serb. "Only imperialists perform these shadowy feats and Marslava will not benefit from hiding them from us. We do not need to know the whereabouts of your operatives, but we must be made aware of any permanent effects your presence shall have. This is for your benefit as is for ours, as it will build trust between us, yourselves, and the common people." |

The conditions were harsh. Major Horka could see the point of view of Translava, but the organization was being perhaps to demanding. "I agree with you on your second request: I can assure you that Marslava will not act behind your organization's back and will consult with it regarding its actions in the Balkans, and not only in Serbia". In this way, the second request made by the masked men had been accepted and would not further be put into discussion. "But, our sovereign is marrying a Karageorgevic and not Translava. Marslava's dynastic alliance lies with the rulers of Belgrade, whatever the influence of Translava over them is. It is for this reason that we cannot accept to supply directly your organization and let it handle - without any possibility of control - the armaments we are supplying to the Karageorgevic." Continued the Marslavan officer, yet, perhaps, a compromise could be found. "We do want to earn the trust of the peoples of the Balkans: our design is not to annex the land of the southern Slavs. However, we cannot give away an aid we have agreed to supply to someone else. This is a point over which we should both compromise. Marslava could either supply separately Translava and the Karageorgevic, or we could pull our resources in other ways". |

The three men looked disappointed, but they did not retreat away nor did they appear angry. Translava still had a strong distrust of Marslava and it would last into their shaky understanding unless Marslava did something to placate the organization. While asking for complete influence in Serbia might have been too steep a demand, the organization was not as unmovable as they claimed. Storm clouds were brewing both in the south and the north. Byzantium had almost completed her seizure of Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria; while Austria had stepped up her militarization and began organizing covert forays into Croatia and other areas. An understanding, even a partnership, was needed as soon as possible. "It is regrettable you do not see our way in this matter, yet it does not mean we cannot find an agreement," Kord replied slightly frustrated. "We are pleased that you find our second point reasonable, as without it we would surely come to blows. There is a possibility that we could pool our resources to assist the Karageorgevic image. Translava's dominance in Serbia is unquestionable, therefore any deals you possess with our figure heads you ultimately posses with us. In this regard, you are already supplying us with arms. Ideally, we require you to treat any dealings with them as you would with us - because, quite simply, you are. What Translava could benefit from is a program by which it obtains large sums of aid from your end. This will allow us to better assist the local population." "We'll even say the aid came from you," Maron replied, his smile peering through the ski mask. "In exchange, we can provide you with intelligence even you do not possess as this time. We, ourselves, have only just discovered it, yet we won't give it away without an assurance that you will indeed keep your word. To show us you are trustworthy we request that you release 20 of our operatives that you currently have incarcerated. In exchange we shall give you him." Out of the darkness, two more masked operatives appeared with a bound man. His uniform was dirty and disheveled, but its resemblance was uncanny. The man was an Austrian serviceman, but his markings and insignia were unfamiliar. This was a new Austrian agency! The man looked at Major Horka and spat. |

Twenty operatives of Translava, no matter how important they were, were not much in front of the game Marslava was playing in Marslava. "Granted" said Major Horka "the twenty operatives will be freed". He gazed at the Austrian agent, who right now was spitting, but should be thankful of being given to someone who would treat him better. Major Horka subsequently considered the other proposals of the Translava operatives. The events that had unfolded in Costantinople imposed the two sides to come to an agreement, and work together. "Right now, in Costantinople, someone else is deciding your fate. Marslava is the only power that can be your ally, we need each other. Our resources need to be pooled. Not only we will continue to supply directly the Karageorgevic, we can create a second "standing force" of MSS and Translava operatives that we can both contribute to equip (Marslava, due to its better situation, will do the larger part of the equipment)" "However" said the MSS officer "you remember to not betray the trust of my sovereign and of the Marslavan people. Honesty - if we can talk about such a term in our milieu- is something incredibly important and no alliance can work without it." OOC: what does the Austrian know ? |

OOC: He is a member of the newly created Imperial Security Service, or RSD, so he knows quite a lot. IC: The three men looked at one another with a mixture of emotions. Kord and Maron agreed that the creation of a standing force may be too great a step at these early stages. Grach was determined to get Serbia the most efficient protection available and therefore was more willing towards a mutually run operation. In the end, however, it was a game of numbers which won out. Translava would need to judge Marslava's trustworthiness before such a bold joint force could be created. "While we certainly have a greater appreciation for your government now after meeting you directly, understand that such brazen moves will inevitably take some time," Kord replied. "For now, it is our opinion that any mutual aid to and defense of the Karageorgevic be done through our own separate avenues of assistance." Maron interjected, "However, I do believe we have made some serious headway in terms of an understanding. From this point on, you shall face no opposition from our end as long as you inform us of your moves. Likewise, we will attempt to do the same. Eventually, perhaps we may even form a standing alliance. For now, it is certain that both Austria and Byzantium will face a more organized Balkan resistance." Grach said nothing, but approached Major Horka with a list comprising of Translava's desired operatives. After that, the three men picked up the Austrian and practically threw him towards the MSS agents. Edited by Whal, Jun 6 2014, 02:54 PM.

Major Horka squared the Austrian and understood he was someone important - a pawn in this game - but still a pawn who knew a lot. The Marslavan men picked up the Austrian operative and waned in the shadows from where they came. Major Horka stayed to see off the Translava operatives. The Austrian operative was seized by the MIS and pulled to a Marslavan safe-house. He would probably not be exchanged and would not see Austria for a longtime. Since Translava had given the man to the MIS, that meant that the Austrian had already broken down and talked. Major Horka entrusted the Austrian to an ethnic German captain, a methodical man who, behind a polite behavior, hid an absolute lack of compassion. "Here, in our house, we like to turn agents either through money or by breaking them. Blackmail is never a good option. On the other hand, money or violence are two fine methods which keep our relationship clear" said the Marslavan captain Hansbeck "Here, you have two choices: you talk to me and your days with Translava will be a bad memory. Or you don't talk and what Translava did to you will be a good memory." The Austrians had stregthened their grip on Hungary, and their government had done much to alarm Marslava. Someone who annulled a democracy, legalized duels, and re-introduced trial by combat was a fool. But he was a fool who was not afraid of blood. In reaction to Austrian expansionism, the Marslava had increased significantly its presence. The Marslavan Secret Services operatives trained a new Serbian Royal Army, while Marslavan mercenaries staffed the country's new air force. Skoda also established a joint venture with the Serboan government so to produce some of the standard Marslavan war equipment in Novi Sad. Owned by half by the Karageorgevic, manged by Marslavans, and staffed by a mix of Marslavan and local engineers, the furnaces of Novi Sad sprung into action, projecting their smoke toward the grey Serbian sky, and producing machine-guns, mortars, anti-tank artillery, and APCs. Finally, a battalion of special forces was said to be deployed in Serbia, ready for an unspecified action. However, no proof of such a presence was to be found. Serbia was to become the new ground for another major confrontation. |

The Austrian operative's name was Henrick Gauleiter, a middle aged serviceman who had served for over 5 years in the old East German Abwehr. Once that organization was disbanded after the coup, Gauleiter and thousands of other experienced Abwehr and Jagdkommando personnel were reorganized into the Imperial Security Service - most commonly known by it's acronym, the RSD. No one inside Austria asked what became of the former operatives who refused to adhere to the mandatory "screening interviews" which accompanied the transition. In fact, Gauleiter, like many of his new associates, were all fervent supporters of the monarchy - most of the servicemen one encountered inside the RSD were supporters of the monarchy. If they weren't, they usually kept quiet about their misgivings otherwise they suddenly found themselves replaced or "reassigned." Most Austrians were beginning to learn what exactly "reassigned" truly meant - a free, no expense, unpaid trip to prison! And not your ordinary prison either; common men found themselves consigned to hard labor inside the Stalags, or the Austrian equivalent of the Soviet Gulag. A work or concentration camp. Guarded by RSD and sometimes Reichswehr men, the Stalags were kept far away from the population and leaving one was a feat in of itself. While recorded deaths were low, one would often find themselves living in relatively poor conditions and exposed to mistreatment. After a few weeks, you were forgotten and quickly disappeared inside the cavernous pit of Imperial bureaucracy. This fate was not what Captian Henrick Gauleiter would endure should he divulge any sensitive information regarding the RSD. No, likely, he would be executed before ever setting foot inside a Stalag. This he knew, and was why he had refused to give any true information to Translava before being handed over to the Marslavans. With luck, he would do the same here. Henrick looked up at the German traitor before him. "Gauleiter, Henrick. Captain, service number: 238967023. Reichswehr Intelligence, 23rd Battalion, 9th Army," he repeated in a monotone fashion. "No more, no less." Edited by Whal, Jun 6 2014, 02:54 PM.

No emotion appeared on the face of Captain Hansbeck, no sorrow nor any anger. The Austrian had made teh wrong choice, and all must have been done to make him realize that. The fact that Translava had failed to make the man talk confirmed his impression that Translava operatives were unprofessional. "You must be thinking at your punishment from Austria if you betray your sovereign's trust" he started "you are wrong. Here, there is no question of you going back home: you will never see Austria again. At best, you will remain, alive, as guest of the MIS, under surveillance but living a decent life. At worst you will not even see Marslava because over there the government tends to mind a tad too much about human rights". His face did not brighten, nor was there any anger. It seemed as if he did not care about the fate of the Austrian. "Instead, you would remain here, and we would not kill you - not even if you ask us to" he continued. "The MIS can drive you mad. And, Marslava can punish you more than your so-called sovereign would ever dream to. You have given us your name and matricule, and that is sufficient for us. If you have any relation or family the MIS will find them and will kidnap them. If you don't, all the better: no one will look for you". "I am going to offer you again to make a choice. On the one hand, you can cooperate, tell us what you know, and live a decent life in Marslava or here in Serbua. Alternatively, you don't cooperate and we will show you how skilled is the MIS at making people talk.... In either way, you are not going to set foot in Austria: you will not be exchanged, and your existence will not be known. And you will miss the days in which you were in Translava's hands". |

The Marslavan captain's words were stern and unflinching. Under such circumstances, a normal person would break and divulge all they had known - give up anything to receive humane treatment and live a cozy life. This was the attitude the Marslavan agent was expecting in his captive. This was not Captain Henrick Gauleiter's response nor was it his attitude. If the German traitor wished for him to plead anything for his life, he was a mistaken fool. This was Marslava's first experience with the RSD...and they, like Gauleiter, would not enjoy it. Henrick laughed long and audibly at the man before him. "I had not expected to see Austria again, in actuality," He stated once the laughter subsided. "Do you take me for a traitor, like yourself, Captain? The organization I represent stamps out feelings of betrayal and weakness. If you believe I desire to retire comfortably, live a nice life in service to my captors, then you're in for a rough time. Don't you know who your speaking too? The fact that you don't know who I work for speaks a testament to our effectiveness." "We will never surrender, Captain. We will never yield. We will never stop as long as you and your Slavic 'brothers' represent a threat to the prosperity and safety of the Austrian and German peoples. We are already inside you homelands, we are already here. You cannot intimidate us. We are not afraid of you. We treat our own deserters and traitors in ways which would haunt the monsters of your most terrifying nightmares." "I await your best efforts to break me." OOC: Prepare for the ride. Your torture will take time with members of the RSD. Edited by Whal, Jun 6 2014, 02:54 PM.

"Ok" said the Marslavan captain. Three men wearing Serbian uniforms entered the room. They proceeded to beat up the Austrian. How they did it proved that they were not Serbian militiamen, but rather professionals belonging to the MIS. They did their despiteful task without any hint of hatred, but methodically. They knew too well the science of how to break every juncture of a man's body without actually killing him. In any way they knew that science better than did the operatives of Translava. "You will find out captain" said the Marslavan officer "that democracies such as Marslava employ better torturers than your little duke could ever dream of." He seemed to be amused by the fact that Marslava too felt the need to use torture: to that fact he owed his rank and his thriving. The routine imposed on the Austrians was to be made of these beatings, calculated to break his body without letting life slip out of him. It seemed that the Marslavan torturers were not even interested in any answer he may eventually give. Belgrade Suddently the Roman Empire had decided that bombing Belgrade was a good idea. The Roman planes completely surprised the inhabitants of Belgrade, who had absolutely nothing to do with the hostilities that had reached Montenegro. There were few dozens of deads and few manufactures were consequently damaged. The event made furious the Karageorgevic - and the inhabitants of Belgrade - who wondered what was the use of an alliance with Marslava if an enemy could send its planes to bomb with impunity Serbia. In Prague too the news were not welcomed. The bombings came as a surprise since it was largely believed that tensions between the two countries had subsumed. Perhaps, the Marslavan presence in Serbia had to be upgraded so to guarantee the defence of Belgrade and protect its independence. |
