If you are wondering, "How did the war start?", then here is your answer!
## Angry Birds
It is 2020 and the tensions between countries especially the Redfor union and the Blufor coalition, they start meetings to try to divide the land between each other, but nothing helps, they keep on getting more angry.
Soon they started movin the forces to their borders, and not only the big ones, the Gren Federation and other smaller independent countries started doing the same, the doomsday clock has never been so close to 12, the nuclear war was about to start, of course from what the citizens thought.
But no one was ready to attack, and that was a problem, this started to remind the cold war, when not a single person died on the front, but it defenetely wasn't for long, and someone would start first, it was obvious.
# Chapter 1

## The begining of the war
The war began rapidly like a wild fire, at first it was just a bunch of blufor and redfor scout drones here and there, but then...
*On November 12th 2020 blufor after secretly getting information about the west border* from the scout drones which were constantly getting hit out of the sky and a few people who were ready to sell information about the country to blufor for money.
Blufor attack squadron 12 made a plan on how to catch the enemy off guard and claim around 20 kilometers of land in one bomb run which will mean that they will also get access to the left over tanks and other millitary equipment produced by the countries in friendly relationship with redfor which for obvious reasons they won't sell to the blufor as then that will count as a betrayal to the redfor and they will start increasing their forces on the countries. But we went off the topic, so let's continue.
The blufor 12th attack squadron consisting of two A10Cs and 5 AV8Bs started their jets and filled their weapon racks with cluster bombs, maverics, dummy bombs, and hydra rocket pods moved out. Two hours passed and the 12th attack squadron is already at the border, they started to perform their plan and soon they met the enemy's triple A. One hour in to the battle and there is the first mig-29 coming from the east, you might think that they were helpless in this situation, but in this case you would be very wrong since the AV8B also has the air to air capabilities and even some radar guided weapons, so the mig-29 wasn't a big deal.
By the next day the mission was acomplished and blufor had no losses, unlike redfor which 3 mig-29s were destroyed.
The attack squadron 12 returned back to the base after acomplishing the mission.
## The begining of something bad
The redfor did not want to just take that and let it go - the war was declared and the redfor helicopter squadron 3 was called to destroy the 5 APCs in the teritory.
But it wasn't instant though, cause' you might think that they would send the helicopters instantly to counter attack, but no.
Redfor waited until id is December and the new wave of enemy will arive, redfor were planing the defence plan for a month and finally they could finaly use it in action.
After planing every move the enemy might take, redfor send their helicopters to destroy the blufor APCs and they did it successfully as the APCs were exploding with 7 or 10 people in them one by one soldiers screaming runing in fear and teror, only a few survived, though they were jelous for the ones who were dead.
Wounded and scared the few returned back to the friendly lands.
## The journey
Soon after the attack by the redfor commander Michael and two more people in his squad decide to start moving further even though everyone else already left the battlefield they stayed.
They walked for what seemed as an eternity, but soon they saw a small command center built out of simple materials like pipes and tarp found in the ruins of the city, it was an improvised redfor command center and as soon as Michael and his squad saw movement inside they instantly hid behind the corner of the first building they found near them.
There was a big antena sticking out of the improvised shelter which probably was used to have better connection as they were far away from the closest spot with good internet connectivity.
One of the soldiers in Michael's squad said that he had a granade and he planed on throwing te granade in the shelter and right after that blocking the path outside with a big shelf they found near the enemy hideout.
Michael was conserned about the plan and the fact that they will also need to hide from the explosion too, but the soldier had a plan for this as they could hide behind the same shelf that they will use to block the entarance.
This sounded like a good plan but still there was a chance that they will get spoted before they will be able to throw the granade.
They still started to perform the plan as said, first they started with getting in to position and ready for the throw, second they already pulled the pin on the granade, and third they threw the granade in the room and closed off the exit with a shelf while also hiding behind it.
Soon after they threw the granade 2 people screamed trying to escape but the exit was closed and right after that the room filled with the sound of a very loud explosion from the granade detonating inside with the two unlucky people who were inside the room with the granade.

## The abrams field
Soon after the attack on the APC squad by the redfor union blufor state decided to send out a squad consisting of 4 M1A2s to te battle to check for survivors from the blufor and/or redfor, but soon after they moved out and saw the completely destroyed city they almost lost their hope, but they still didn't give up hoping that at least someone would survive.
And we know that it is true as the squad leaded by Michael is still located somwhere in the destroyed Vilongrad and needed help.
The squad made a descision to split-up and search the city for survivours. While the tanks are searching for people Michael and his squad managed to connect to the radio frequency of the friendly base and informed them about their location and that they need to be extracted as they are waiting for the new wave of enemy, as soon as the friendly radio started emiting sound the people at the base were already curious about who managed to connect to their radio, and after hearing the call for help they imidietly informed the tank squad about the people who are stuck in the city and thheir location.
The resque mission started, but the feeling that the enemy was right around te corner didn't go away.
## The resque mission
After the tank squad dislocated in the city of Vilongrad got the information about a blufor squad stuck in the city they started to move out as they were supposed to get tere as fast as possible since the enemy was getting closer to the city on their tanks and cars.
There was no time to wait but the tanks aren't the fastest vehichles in the world as you might know what means that the lost squad will need to defend them selfes from the enemy for at least 20 minutes.
The tanks were already 4 kilometers away, and the enemy was already there, Michael gave an order to take cover in the nearest basement and stay silent, so in case the enemy goes in to check what is happening they will get ambushed by Michaels squad and possibly without getting noticed.
10 minutes left and those were the longest 10 minutes in their lives as the footsteps grew closer and the roar of the engines was getting louder, the hope was dissapearing fast.
Someone steped in to the basement, Michael and his squadmates were ready for death, but no! It was the tank squad who made it first to them, but there is no time to cheer as the enemy won't wait for them to finish their buisnes, and they needed to get out as fast as possible.
But there is this thing about tanks... they only can cary the personale and that's it, but they needed to get out fast so they improvised and Michael's squad was riding on top of the turret.
And in less than an hour they got away without any trouble except the possible mental trauma after spending so much time in fear of death itself.

## The air attack
It is already two month since the war started and there is already a battle at the frontline, but the battle goes on not only on the ground but also in the skyes.
On January 4th 2021 the radar of a blufor E-3 Sentry caught three SU-27s in the blufor airspace, their intentions were unknown so the awacs informed the nearest flying formaiton of air to air capable planes to go and intercept the three SU-27s soon a formation of five F-16 block-50s were sent there and heading towards the enemy planes, after half an hour of flying towards eachother one of the F-16s radars finally noticed a radar contact in 20 miles away from the formation, and after confirmation from the awacs that it is the enemy the formation split up and started attacking the SU-27s but it could not be performed as they were too far away from the enemy to fire any missile as F-16 can only carry heat-seaking AIM-9Xs and AIM-120Cs which are short and medium range missiles they can't do anything, and while they were waiting for the enemy aircraft to get in range for engagement another SU-57 appeared like from nowhere what caused panic in the formation but they still while losing one of their friendly F-16 managed to get rid of the enemy stealth jet, but while they were bussy defending the SU-27s already were in range with their missiles and already fired them in to the formation out of now on four F-16s three more airplanes destroyed and there is only one plane left from the formation which chose to flee, but not because the pilot was scared but because the command said so. He barely made it.
This was the first time when the blufor aircraft lost to redfor.
## The kamikaze drone
On January 9th 2021 a redfor kamikaze drone was detected in the area of the battlefield, all of the tank squads were informed, but they couldn't expect that one of the damaged tanks won't get the message because of the radio issues.
The squad inside the tank did not expect the drone to come as they had no clue. Soon the buzzing of the drone came, when everyone except them left their vehichles they did not expect it, the drone was getting louder and louder while everyone hid they didn't and soon the friendly helicopter from fifty miles away using it's thermal cameras noticed a cloud of warm air, and a giant explosion.
Only two survived one of them died a few minutes later in the same tank and the other one lost one of his eyes and a leg.
It was a horrible day for everyone there and everyone had a minute of silence later at the base, as it was not their fault.

## The deadly engeneering
Soon after the war hit one year in length, the blufor head quarters decided that they need to start trying to find ways to get to the enemy without taking fire, and the engeneers started their work.
Half a year later they have invented a very early version of a teleport machine, and at this point you might think that blufor will win the war, but the redfor didn't just wait for blufor to invent a teleport machine, they as soon as one of their spyes told them about the blufor's intentions the leader of redfor commanded the engeneers to start making a device to intercept the teleports made by blufor and redirect people straight to redfor base where they would get instantly killed by the soldiers who will be working two duties so it won't be possible for them to secretly sneek in to the redfor base while no one sees them.
But blufor as soon as they found out about what redfor is planning they canceled the test until the teleport machine was compact enough to bring it in a backpack and control it using a laptop so field engeneers will be able to set it up in a minute or two and instead of droping in from an airplane just safely teleport in to a safe spot on the battlefield.
## The madman
After the first generation of a portal machine was canceled due to danger in using, the one scientist who was working on improving the machine started his work, as months passed he was working every day on his job.
After half a year, he finally finished the project, and since this time everyone was quiet about the research redfor did not know that there is a second generation of the portal machine, when he was done he presented it to the head quarter and no one else.
After they tested the partable teleport machine and it came successful, the training started to teach troops how to use it as it still needed a laptop to function.
The training was successful, and the scientist with now 3 more people was working on the third generation of the portal machine, but now they could work slower as they were not forced to invent a new version, they were just improving it to work without a laptop.
## The field testing
After the work on the second generation of the teleport machine was finished and the troops were trained, the machine was field tested right in the battle.
The engeneer with three more riflemen carefully traveled through the battlefield to the flank, placed the teleporter, hooked it up to the laptop with the needed software, and launched it.
Soon the teleporter's head started spinning faster and faster until it was imposible to see it clearly, and soon after that troops started appearing from literally nowhere.
And they captured the objective, it was a big enemy base with bomb shelters and lots of ammunition and weapons which were also stolen by the blufor army.
And after the operation was complete the traveled back the same way.
The testing was successful and the teleport machine was from now on in every field engeneer's backpack.

## The war machine
After blufor invented the teleport machine, redfor leader demanded that they need to build a mech for big operations, soon after the work started.
They needed a reliable mech which would survive shots from rifles, and also be compatable of using different weapons for different operations.
First came the base, next came the weapons system, then came the weapons, and after came the thrustors. It was perfect, but it still wasn't tested...
## See that thing?
It's already the end of 2024 and the redfor after reciveing a message that their south border is being attacked send out 10 T\-160 main battle tanks which were also being developed with the mech, 3 mech suits v1, and 4 helicopters with long-range missiles to help the ground troops protect the border.
There was around 60 troops on feet and 20 in cars, first \- helicopters attacked the cars, and after came the mechs, and by the time when the tanks arived the battlefield was filled with corpses of dead blufor soldiers. The mech got a nickname in blufor's army \- the flying death.
## Mid air revenge
Three months passed after the first contact of bufor with the mech suit v1 was recorded, the redfor are already working on the v2 but v1 is still in use and there is already around 10 of them existing, some even having battle scars.
It was a suspiciously calm and quiet day for both redfor and blufor as no one was in a fight, but this was until one trained marine sent by redfor didn't come to the testing range of blufor where there was a airplane flying around.
The marine in the mech aimed at the aircraft and fired a burst of 20 mm in to the airplane, both of it's engines were destroyed and the aircraft went in to a flat spin, the pilot was commanded to instantly eject but he was not ready to get shot at as soon as he ejects.
So relying only on auxilary power from the batteries in the plane he waited out for the perfect timing and shot a burst of 30 mm slashing the mech in two pices including the person inside it.
He successfully ejected from the aircraft right befor it was too late for the parachute to open fully, and he landed safely, what you can't tell about the aircraft which he was testin. He was rewarded with a medal of honour.
And writen to the pages of the world's history.

## Mann vs. Machine
While redfor was working on making a new mech V2 blufor weren't waiting, as they were working on making a machine able of wiping out an army, it was hard to do so, they were spending days upon days of work without sleep, and eventually they got it!
The machine able of killing anything on it's way! But it was not enough, they needed to make weapons powerfull enough to withstand the pressure. The research started...
## The power weapon
Three month after the top secret machine was built they made a weapon powered by electricity, it wasn't a simple railgun which existed before, it was a shotgun which could recharge by itself!
After seeing the progress the government commanded to continue the research.
## A one machine army
It is already one year since the start of the research to make the machine perfect, it was done!
They sent it to the frontline to test it's capabilities, it destroyed the tanks, then the troops became puddles of blood, it also shot down a helicopter by jumping up while it was in low altitude and ripped off it's blades.
But the superiority ended soon as they forgot to protect it from water when the rain came and the ground became muddy and slippery the machines metal feet slipped and it fell straight to it's death, the liquid mud got in the machine and it got short circuted, the prime leader was in fury, and commanded to kill the researchers who were responcible the machine.

## The little M1126
It is middle of the 2025 and blufor sends a squad of M1126 Strykers to capture a city from redfor as they found out from the scout squad that they let down guard on the city.
It is around 06:25 pm and they were sent in after being delivered there on a train that was going nearby fortunately.
As they entered the city they saw a scout drone flying in cicrles they started to panic thought later they found out that it was actually a friendly one, which was sent by blufor to notify them in case of a danger.
They started to clear out streets, what they soon found out is that there was a redfor camp where the soldiers were resting and they soon found it.
The building was demolished in moments, there was nothing left except a puddle of blood and a bunch of wrecks.
They have finally captured the city placed their flag and then placed a field base with a radio to connect to a bigger base which was built better and stronger to call in the rest of the base there to keep moving through the border.
## Hellfire
It is already winter of 2025 the year soon comes to the end and the pilot of the blufor's AH-64 Delta, is getting a call.
He was sent to the battlefield it was a destroyed city, he and his pilot were requested to clear out the city and save the troop squad which is taking fire in the same city.
After they got to the spot they set up radio contact with the stuck squad and since they used the AGM-117L they said the laser code and shot the missile in the air over the hill separating them from the city, then one of the soldiers activated the laser pointer and carefully pointed it at the enemy base, everything was destroyed, after that the went for a small gun run and left the spot later.
# Chapter 8

## Civil War
It is 2026 and Redfor experienced millions of deaths and the civilians weren't happy with that, because all people were called to help in the war and almost half of those deaths were untrained civilians who were given guns and sent to the battlefield like they were useless.
Civilians could not take it any more, they had to act, and act fast! First the protest started near the edges of the land, and soon after started moving in closer to the center.
The police was missing because they were out sending ammunition to the battlefront, first who noticed the protest were city mayors, and instantly contacted the leader to make his way to a safer place than the center tower.
The amount of people on the streets increased and soon you could catch glimpses of weapons in some of protestors' hands, it was terrifying and sadly no one could do anything since the police was missing for already 4 hours.
Soon as the protest moved closer to the central tower they heard leader's speach over the megaphones - "Dear citizens, I want to inform all of the protestors that by the time the police comes back from the front every single person will get sent to the battlefield with only a pistol and a hand granade, and if you choose to flee from the battlefield you will be shot to death without any questions asked!"
The amount of people in the croud had decreased after the announcement, but the people didn't give up untill the end, soon the police came and all of those people were indeed send to the front without any equipment to protect them from instant death.
## The Aftermath
After the "January Protest" had ended and people were sent to die on the battlefield, Blufor understood that their soldiers unlike the civilians were well armed and protected, though they were still not ready for a thousand people to attack them.
So the command made a decision to call in two Apache helicopters and one A-10 to clear out the angry croud of people armed with granades ready to kill themselves just to take out someone else with them.
Soon the air support was over the battlefield and they of course spoted the gigantic crowd instantly, they opened fire.
The A-10 started droping bombs and flying in circles dropping hell from above with it's 7 barrel GAU-8 Avenger cannon, the Apaches started firing laser guided hellfires into the crowd and shooting the 30mm rounds in them, soon after a few pass-overs there was a huge mountain of corpses with what seemed a lake of blood around it.
It was terrible, and soon Redfor because the mountain of corpses was a disadvantage called in a few troops with flamethrowers to burn down the hill of dead bodies, and the horrible smell of burning flesh and bones filled the muddy planes mixing with the smell of gunpowder and jet fuel.
## The Hate
After people found out that the leader had commanded to burn the bodies of people who just wanted a better life they started to leave the country slowly, first only a few villages far from the center were emptied completely with houses soon breaking down in debree, then people started leaving already bigger cities which were closer to the center to show their hate.
Soon after two month passed the population of Redfor union went down by a quarter of a million, of course the leader could not just ignore it as it was raw power leaking out through the cracks in the borders and even inteligence was being sold to Blufor coalition.
The leader who was still anonymous somehow was very angry, you could say enraged! He started blocking the tunnels though there of course would be more built soon, not long after that there appeared a small group of tunnel builders who were digging underground tunnels under the border for free.
It was a disaster, but no one was screaming, it was just straight up sad, there were hollidays canceled which caused even more people to consider leaving the country, and even police and soldiers started to surrender on purpose just to leave that horror behind and start a new life in a place that didn't have war in there.
# Chapter 9

## The Regret
After almost a quarter of the Redfor union population had fled to the other countries because of what horror was happening on the inside, and after the leader had found out he started begging people to come back, as because of the people leaving the ammunition and tanks were getting produced way slower, so if people werent coming back themselves, he started to lure them in.
He was advertising appartments in the center of the city for free, just to make the people come back and start working so they would not lose the war, and it was a problem, no one was trusting him anymore.
Over time of course people started to come back, but still no one would trust him anymore and people prefered to live in Blufor grounds, it was just obvious where to go, but people where still going back there again, after a few months the population restored.
## The Recovery
After the population recovered after the loss the leader of the Redfor union required every person 17+ to start to work on the factories because they needed to cover the losses and after a few month they would go back to the normal work plan and everyone should idealy be happy with that, but that was only what he thought.
First since people didn't trust him they just did everything without questions just to make sure they don't get sent on to the battlefield without any gear just to die! But soon after they realized that they won't get punished for not coming as they didn't want to spend money on some way to check if the person actually came to the work, people started to skip it.
Soon after the leader realized that he enforced police in the city, and of course the people weren't happy with that outcome, they were ready to start a new protest or at least all together leave the country, but no, they kept locking down the borders just to make the people even more angry, but after some time they just went back to normal, and the peace was saved, for now...
# Chapter 10

## Friendly Atom
It is already close to the end of 2026 and the blufor scout drone noticed a bunch of smoke going out of the steam pipes in the middle of the forest of Redfor land and it had a lot of electricity power lines going towards it all, of course the drone operator informed the command and the command sent a few F-16 with lazer guided JDAMs.
They have assumed that it was a very big tank and ammunition factory, though they had no clue that it was a nuclear reactor.
The airfield were quite far from the designated spot on the map, and because of that it took around two hours to just get there, they had to stay low to the ground to not get detected, and soon they got to the spot, those were tandem seated F-16s, the person behind switched to the targeting pod and shot a laser soon after they made a few circles to gain altitude, and after that...
"Bombs away!" - "Roger that." - "Requesting RTB." - "Copy that."
And after around 10 seconds, a gigantic explosion had appeared out of nowhere, it wasnt the JDAM, it was the _nuclear reactor_, soon after that the pilots returned and unlike everyone on the ground and in the 100km radius.
It was terrific, everyone died! No survivors, it was worse than the Chernobly, and the Fukushima all together, it was a tragedy, and a war crime, but no one cared, besides the people who were there.
## Death Zone
Soon after the nuclear reactor was bombed by the Blufor F-16, the zone near the reactor was locked and by the people who saw it was called the dead zone, as there was nothing left alive in there; it was scary.
Soon the news went on air, _"Blufor bombed a nuclear reactor!"_ was on every channel besides the kids' ones, all of them were explaining the same story but in a little bit of a different way, yet the main part was same, a disaster struck!
There was not much to say about it, people were falling apart from radiation, they were in agony, millitary was sent to end off the people who were affected, to get rid of the missery.
## Angry Redfor
After the incident happened it Redfor were not happy with the fact that their nuclear reactor with civilians in it was exploded and disintigrated into atoms from the explosion, and Blufor didn't even budge.
Soon they would pay back, it was a long planning session between the smartest people in Redfor army, and soon they've got an idea... If Blufor exploded their reactor with people there they would just send all of their bombers to the battle front.
Soon they were ready, it was a approximate total of around a thousand enemy soldiers on the front and soon they had called in the bombers, hundreds of bombs went flying down on them.
HELL LET LOOSE...
