At the Train Cabin where the Passengers reside and sit. The Envoys is at their Cabin with their own Security (Manjuus strapped with US Taxpayer's Dollars). The Security is the Manjuu Marines onboard the Nuclear Cruiser, half of them are left on the Ship to safeguard it from any intruder onboard.
The sound of the Steam Engine was muffled and audible inside the Passenger Cabin, the snow was visible at the windows of the Cabin as the Train passed through the snowy fields. Inside the Cabin is warmer compared to the freezing weather outside.
Bunker Hill-76 sat at the seat right next to the window legs crossed. The window was quite foggy with all the vapor frozen at the edges as her attention was focused outside as the Train passed Villages in rural areas.
The conversation on the other side of the seat is audible as Wales and Hood engage in conversation with the Northern Parliament Shipgirls. She let the Royal Navy Shipgirls do their thing as the friendly conversation went on during the trip.
At the opposite side of her seat, Comrade Ivan sat with his poker face.
Comrade Ivan is been with serious girls with frowned faces, he's facing a new face with a seriousness and frown. For a while, the two had a moment of staring contest, until one of them blinked (or blush)
Comrade Ivan lost hat one, he never encountered as cold and serious one as her in Northern Parliament. Ma man lost the stand-off against the Americans in a staring contest.
Bunker Hill-76 stays silent along the trip, as she ignores everything that is going on inside the Cabin, her attention is focused on the mission she was given in hand. Conducting espionage via Electronic Warfare at her ship.
USS Bunker Hill CGN-76, Port of Murmansk
Inside the CIC of the Nuclear Cruiser some suspicious and meticulous operation is currently going, the excessive tapping of the Keyboards and beeping Computer codes visible at screen monitors. The AN/SPY-6 of the SPY-1 Family of Aegis Radars collects data from the Northern Parliament KGB Transmission Towers.
The Tapping of the communication towers of the Northern Parliament is so secretive that the escorted Ships and Royal Navy Shipgirls are not aware of the secret operation that is going on behind the shadows.
One of the Operators got a hold of some ongoing transmission from the Kremlin, his brows farrowed at the screen as the transmission was audible from the headset he wore.
After the confirmation of the urgency of the transmission, he called one of the Meowfficer that is responsible for the covert operation.
The two both listen to the audio played on the monitor screen. Georgian-Man's voice was audible along with the order he gave to the Head of the KGB.
The Meowfficer orders the Security on high alert as to the possibility of an unwanted boarding party at the Cruiser. Manjuu Marines and Ship Security Manjuus are on high alert on deck, security cameras switch to thermal and infrared.
One of the Manjuu Marines equipped himself with Taser-Shot or Taser-Shotgun.
The Taser-shotgun is a Shotgun made to fire a Taser probe, the Taser-shotgun is made for Riot Control or any other nonlethal weapons. This (nonlethal) weapon is created at the shortcomings of the Taser-gun with its one shot and timely reloading, the Taser-Shot or Taser-Shotgun just goes cocking and shoot.
I don't know what hurts the most getting shot by a Taser-Gun or a Taser-Shotgun. Remember cocking your Taser-Shotgun is better than reloading your Taser-Gun.
At the Port of Murmansk, a few KGB Agents and Commie-Manjuus hide along the crates and stacks of wooden boxes along with some oil barrels.
Two of them crouch to avoid getting detected by the patrolling Manjuus on the deck of the Nuclear Cruiser. The KGB Agents believe that their presence was all concealed in the crates and stacked wooden boxes.
But in reality, they were all caught in 4K by the Security Cameras installed at the Ship. Their body heat signature was visible behind the cold crates and wood.
"The Ship is minimally guarded by Manjuus. This seems to be easier than I thought." One of the KGB Agents said in a cocky tone, as he underestimated the number and strength of the Manjuus.
The Leader of the group spoke. "Don't get cocky Comrade, we didn't know the capability of this Manjuus, they were not in our world. Their capabilities were still unknown to us."
He looks at his group with seriousness in his eyes implying the danger of the mission if they step foot on that Cruiser. "I want you all to be careful."
The KGB Agents give each other a nod in agreement at their Leader's word of advice. They all heard rumors about some KGB Agents found dead and had multiple bullet holes, and now they all stepping on a Modern Warship with unknown capabilities.
The Leader of the group gives an order of commencement of the mission given to them. The KGB Agent dispersed at the Port and went to their designated point.
One KGB Agent climbed at the Port Crane to get the high ground to get a good view for capturing intel with his handheld camera that is hidden inside his winter coat.
He crouches at the structure of the crane to hide from the Manjuus lingering on the deck of the Nuclear Cruiser. He wiped the lens of the camera as moisture formed at the lenses of the camera from the cold and frozen weather of the north.
"Damn it, why now." the Agent muttered to himself as he wiped the lens of the Camera.
As soon as he wiped the moist out of the lenses he readied the camera to capture intel, his grin was suddenly whiplashed as something colorful covered the lens of the camera he held.
He takes a quick look and surprise to see a paint splash at the lens. "What the." He muttered in surprise.
At the Deck of the Nuclear Cruiser, two Manjuus stood at the deck with Paintball guns in hand. One of them had a binocular that showed infrared imagery, and the other one had a Paintball Gun Sniper.
"That should do the tricks." The one Manjuu with binoculars said.
"We could have used some real Sniper Rifle here." The Manjuu with Paintball Gun Sniper said, after lowering his Paintball Gun.
"We can't escalate conflict with this Walmart Commie. Tackling the Sirens and Dollar Store Third Reich is tiring enough, we don't have any Modern Military equipment we can just use willy-nilly like we used to back on Earth." The Manjuu said.
The other Manjuu frowns. "I wish we could just go guns blazing with these people, I mean there are no rules of war in this world."
Then the other Manjuu cut in. "Then we lost support with other nations as we willy-nilly bomb everything."
The Modern Kansens had the power to turn the powers of this world, but doing so would create more enemies for them and lose support from the inhabitants of this world. They were in a new world, so they had to follow the rule book the world they were in, but they were the ones setting their own rules.
At the Pier, three of the Agents and Commie-Manjuus along with the Leader sneak at the port and slowly crept to the pier right next to the Nuclear Cruiser. The Leader gives the order to separate as they sneakily boarded the moored Nuclear Cruiser.
Unbeknownst to the Agents and Commie-Manjuus their arrival and sneaky were all noticed and captured their every movement. The Security was at the deck waiting for their unwanted guest to arrive, some of the Manjuu Marines pulled their Taser-Shotgun ready to greet their guest.
The Commie-Manjuus slowly walked at the gangway to make any creaking noises at the steps of the ladder. The Commie-Manjuus thought they could blend in with them being Manjuus, they thought the difference would not be that noticeable.
The Three Agents along with the Leader watch in the distance as the Commie-Manjuus slip at the security and manages to get onboard the Nuclear Cruiser.
"Looks like our Comrades is not noticed by the security." The Leader spoke, as his still looking at the binoculars.
As the three KBG Agents were about to have momentarily celebration they all heard a muffled simultaneous gunshot followed by a shrieking scream of electrocution at the Nuclear Cruiser.
"What was that Comrade?" One of the Agents asked in concern.
"I... I don't know." The Leader stammered, as he knew what that gunshot meant.
At the deck of the Nuclear Cruiser, 4 Commie-Manjuus lay unconscious at the deck from the electric shock coming from the Taser-Shotgun and smoke coming out from their bodies.
"This AF-1, we got the intruder apprehended." The Manjuu Marine Leader radioed at the Ship's Commanding Officer on deck.
The Commander at the CIC responded. "Good. Take them into the interrogation room, we might need to squeeze some information at our bird fellas."
The Marine Manjuus then dragged the unconscious Commie-Manjuus to the interrogation room for information gathering.
At the Port, the KGB Agent canceled the operation as their Manjuu Agents got captured and apprehended by the moment they stepped on deck. The Agents then retreated to the dark corners of the Port Facility as the order of retreat is given.
"F*cking Commie Bastard." One Manjuu cursed as it saw the retreating KGB Agents at his Infrared Binoculars.
Moscow Train Station
At the train station, an obnoxious laughing can be heard, as Gangut loses it. She's been laughing at Comrade Ivan who's now a glowing tomato, their staring contest and stand-off were not left unnoticed by the Girls.
Comrade Ivan seems lost in that staring contest and is now in reddish discoloration of a drunkard. Few chuckles from the Soldiers can be heard in reaction to Comrade Ivan's reddish discoloration.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. Look at your face comrade Ivan, you look like a tomato." Gangut blurted out as she laughed at the bustling station filled with people going in and out of the station.
Comrade Ivan frowns and groans at Gangut's nonstop teasing, this is the first time he's been embarrassed in front of a woman, even his own men were surprised to see Comrade Ivan turn into a bottle of ketchup instead of vodka.
Chief of the Red's Army General Staff Georgy Zhukov awaits at the Station where the Diplomat and their escorts disembarked, the loud hysterical laughing of Gangut can be heard at the station.
The Red Army General and his security are not the only ones waiting there, at the train station along Zhukov, the Royal Navy Ambassador to the Northern Parliament stood there waiting. Wearing winter clothing like cold Brits, he waits for the Diplomatic Envoys to arrive.
Both Zhukov and the Ambassador raised an eyebrow as the echoing laughter that reverberated at the Station was coming closer to them, they both looked at Comrade Ivan who looked like a ripped potato in total redness and annoyance at Gangut's teasing. This kind of interaction isn't new to them both.
But their attention shifted to the following people, they glanced and noticed the Royal Navy Clothing along with the new yet simple attire amongst them. They then notice the escort of the diplomats, those were Manjuus with modern Arms and Gear.
The Ambassador walks forward to greet them. "Greetings Mistress Hood, Mistress Wales and Mistress Bunker Hill. We were sorry we couldn't greet you at the Port of Murmansk, you see there are some issues around the Embassy's Staff."
The Ambassador apologies for the lack of Staff to greet the envoys that the home Country sent to the Northern Parliament.
Hood the ever-patient and understanding forgave the Ambassador for his shortcomings.
"I understand the Embassy's Staff shortcomings, I just never thought it was this bad." She said in a vibrant tone that reassured the Ambassador.
"And you must be Mistress Bunker Hill." Ambassador said as she noticed the new face among the Diplomatic Envoys.
"Yes, I am. Mr. Ambassador." Bunker Hill-76 said as she took the handshake offer of the Ambassador.
"Now then... let's meet our Parliament friend shall we?"
The Ambassador gestures his hands forward as to lead the way for Hood.
Sovetskaya Rossiya waits for the Diplomat Envoys to come close for an introduction, she gestures to the man in front as she introduces him.
Zhukov throws the coat as the Men behind him catch it, he then pulls his shirt to stretch the folds at his shirt, and the medals that are pinned to his shirt cling as he pulls his shirt, with also a backdrop of cinematic music.
.
"Is he like that?" Bunker Hill-76 inquired at Zhukov's dramatic introduction.
"He does," Hood said as he never fails to amaze her with it comes to introduction.
"Comrade Azur Lane, I present to you the Chief of the Red Army General Staff, Georgy Zhukov." She presented to them the man himself.
"It's quite a pleasant to you see you once again, Gen. Zhukov." Hood said as she extended a hand at him.
Zhukov accepted the offered handshake. "It is quite a pleasure to see you too once again Lady Hood. I hope the weather here in Motherland didn't bother your visit." Zhukov said in his thick Russian Accent while speaking English.
He then glances to Hood's right, as the new few intrigue him. "And you are?" Zhukov asks.
Bunker Hill-76 introduced herself. "USS Bunker Hill CGN-76 third of the class, United States Navy Ship." She said as she extended a handshake.
"It a pleasure to meet you, Miss Bunker Hill, I welcome you to Northern Parliament." He said after accepting the handshake.
He flicks his finger and the escorting security moves to the side, as they give them some space to walk out of the station, as they walk they engage in friendly chat.
Once again Hood is the one conversing in a friendly chat, as Bunker Hill-76 is too direct with words and not good at playing along with words. That's literally her downside, she's being strict and direct most of the time.
"I see.... So the news was true then? Azur Lane pushed the Sirens out of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. That's quite an impressive feat to accomplish such task." Zhukov said.
Hood gives a slight chuckle at Zhukov's flattery. "it's not all possible thanks to Miss Enterprise, she's mostly the one engaging the Sirens head-on with her Task Force."
As the chatter continued they were all led a parked Black Cars outside of the station, as Army Trucks on the back filled with Soldiers were their escort to the Kremlin.
The convoy of three Black Cars and three Army Trucks passes through the streets of Moscow and some of the landmarks in the Capital.
Hood and Wales along with Curlew (Their Maid) look out the window of the Car as they all pass some landmarks dating back to when the Monarchies still ruled the nation.
Bunker Hill-76 seems not that impressed at the view outside, as those were plentiful back on Earth. She didn't have to explore the whole capital, as the whole map of Moscow and its Military installation were stored in the US Navy Files of their target, if the people in Moscow had a gut to step foot on Nato Territories.
Zhukov noticed Bunker Hill-76's expression that painted danger that he couldn't decipher, but his gut told him to be careful with her. Because he, along with the state had only a small amount of information about them.
To end the awkward silence inside the Car, Zhukov tries to start a conversation with her. "Liking the view Miss Bunker Hill?" He said awkwardly.
She turns her attention to him slowly and responds. "Not much...."
This surprises him, he knows some women can be cold especially those in his Nation's Shipgirls, but this one brings another coldness with chilly air.
"I see... have you seen these landmarks before?" he probes into her deeper to gain some insight.
"Yes... in some of the parades and propaganda."
The last one got him raising some brows, as his gut told him she knew everything about them all. he turns his attention to his side where Comrade Ivan sat.
Comrade Ivan crossed his arms as he sank into his seat, his winter coat covering his reddish face, he also noticed him avoiding some glances at her.
'What's gone into you, comrade?' Zhukov asked himself as to why one of his Commanding Officers of the Red Army is acting weird.
He then turns his attention to Bunker Hill-76's side, as two Manjuu Marines sat there fully loaded with Tax Payers Dollars ready to spread Freedom in the heart of Moscow if shit goes down the drain.
Kremlin, Moscow
The Convoys stop as the passengers of the Black Car disembark and head to the building where the Head of State resides. Red Army Color Guards greeted them at the entrance as the two opened the door in synchronization like a bunch of robots in Manufacturing Facilities in their efficiency.
They all walk inside the building, as Zhukov leads them to the Office of the Head of State of Northern Parliament.
In front of the Office two doors with decoration that screams Dictatorship greeted them, the two Red Army Color Guards that are assigned to the entrance of the Head of State open the door in dramatic fashion, like revealing something of an importance.
There inside the Office, a Georgian-Man with his mustache and pipe greeted them. The Georgian-Man wore his white Military Uniform to greet the Diplomats with formality as he represented the Northern Parliament and its ethics.
"Stalin." Bunker Hill-76 muttered under her breath, as her brows twitched slightly but were not visible to others.
Her escort Manjuu Marines seems to tightly grip the handle of their rifle as the squeezing sound of their gloves is audible.
Georgian-Man greets them with his friendly manners. "Greetings comrade. And welcome to Northern Parliament, I hope you all have a pleasant view from coming here."
"It's quite a pleasant indeed, but although some views of the countryside have change. I saw some Factories being erected to once farmland...." Hood said in her diplomatic tone and controlled criticism.
Georgian-Man chuckles as he knows where she's going at, he then gestures to the nearest couch to his Office table. "Our country is developing and industrialization of the economy is in full swing." He said, as he sat down.
The Diplomats from Azur Lane took a seat at the couch that the Georgian-Man gestured, Zhukov stayed inside the Office as Comrade Ivan stayed outside as the Guards closed the two doors of the Office. Few Manjuu Marines stayed inside standing still right next to the Red Army Guards.
"I see.... It just surprised me to see some Factories being erected in the wilderness." Hood said while glancing at him.
But truth to be told everyone in the room knew what the real purpose of those Factories was, those Factories were made to build War-Machines for war. What baffles and worries the Azur Lane Alliance is what the Northern Parliament is going to use those War-machines and wage war with. But Enterprise-80 had an idea and clue as to where this whole thing was going, it's WW2 Western Front all over again.
The Azur Lane Alliance and Crimson Axis Alliance are at each other throats when it comes to control and technological race, Northern Parliament on the other hand worries the two separate Alliance when it comes to ideology.
Reports from spies in Iron Blood confirm the rising tension between the borders of the two. (The split border is the same split Poland Border.) few skirmishes here and there and caused some death on both sides as Leaders sweeps it under their Office mattress.
Georgian-Man is not dumb enough to know Hood already knows why those Factories are being constructed at a fast pace with manual labor. The Laborers were the people that were sent to the Gulag, basically Slave Labor to build the War-Factories.
After a few seconds of tension, Georgian-Man spoke directly to the point as Hood is hard to crack Biscuit (or Chips, what the Brits called it).
"Enough with the flattery greetings." He said as got serious visible in his thick brows. "I'm not convinced about Azur Lane's explanation of sending their diplomat for sightseeing purposes. What is the purpose of your visit, Mistress Hood?"
The "Sightseeing" part is not a lie, they were there to see what was going on inside the country, the other part is to send information about the existing Siren Facility inside Northern Parliament lands. Before they all docked at the Port of Murmansk, Manjuu Special Forces were sent off-shore un-noticed. Their mission is to locate the said Siren Facility.
"Straight to the point I see." Hood said dropping the formalities. "Based on our gathered intelligence that was gathered in the raided Siren Bases, we came across a map where all Siren Facilities were located."
Her tone then goes serious as she gets with part of their diplomatic purpose. "And one of those facilities was inside the Northern Parliament land territory in Siberia. Do you have any explanation for it, Stalin?"
Georgian-Man showed a little reaction in surprise to what Hood blurted out in front of his face. But Zhukov on the other hand had a facial expression of disbelief and doubt that a Siren Facility existed in Motherland.
"Preposterous!" Zhukov shouted as he stood in his seat while slamming his fist at the table. "No Siren had set foot on Motherland without my watchful eyes!"
The Diplomats didn't show any reaction to Zhukov's bursting of emotion, they just sat at their seat maintaining their calm composure. But the Diplomatic Security and the Red Army Guards ready's themselves to jump into action if the pot in the Office explodes.
The Ambassador jolted in his seat as he sensed the tension rising up than he ever felt before stepping inside this Office.
"Calm down Comrade Zhukov, we can't just hastily react to such absurd accusations." Georgian-Man said calming the fuming Zhukov.
Zhukov didn't want to displease the diplomat settled his fuming anger and sat down at his seat crossing his arms. He is calm but shows some irritation and displeasure at his face. He never thought in his life that a Siren a Humanities enemy is settling in Motherland without his knowing.
As Zhukov calms down the diplomatic talks continue.
"Are you accusing Northern Parliament of harboring Humanity's number one enemy at our lands beyond the eyes of the Alliance?" Georgian-Man assumed that's what Hood wanted to imply.
Hood nods slightly. "Indeed. That's what everyone in the Alliance assumed about the situation. We came to that same conclusion after gathering some few information at the raided Facilities."
With a snap of her finger, Curlew brought out a briefcase and opened it to reach for the content inside. After getting the content inside she handed it over to Hood with waiting hands.
Hood placed the paper map over the table fingers taping at the specific area where the Siren Facility is located right next to one of the Gulag Camps (where the naughty commie goes).
Zhukov leaned forward, his eyes darted at the location after noticing the proximity of the Facility in one of their Gulag Camps. He broke his gaze at the map and quickly looked up at her face.
"I've visited that Camp last year, I never seen any Siren Facility in the vicinity of that Camp, and there are no reports about a Siren Facility being built there." He said with doubt.
Zhukov visited the place to see any of the Iron Blood Spies that had been captured by the KGB Agents trying to infiltrate Government Building Establishments and Top Military Bases.
"Comrade Zhukov is right. I this Siren Facility did exist in that location we would have already had taken action and eliminated it. No enemy of Humanity set foot in this motherland without the careful eyes of the Parliament." Georgian-Man said in confidence of the non-existence of the said Siren Facility.
"There is nothing to be worry about, Mistress Hood, the Northern Parliament is safe in Siren threat." He finishes.
"I won't be so sure about that." Bunker Hill-76 counters. She's been quiet the whole time as she listens to the conversation and finds some counters.
"Pardon?" Georgian-Man said in confusion.
"The last signal from the captured Siren Bases, we detected the transmission ended inside at your territorial lands." Bunker Hill-76 turns serious judging by the tone of her voice.
"There are no secrets you hide Premier Stalin can stay hidden as the evidence we held points at the truth. You can lie in your Offices whenever you like. But there's still one thing I'm sure you're hiding something hideous in a region of Siberia. Siberia is an isolated region when it comes to human settlements, very good to hide and bury secrets under the snow."
She said as she placed a high-resolution photo of the said Siren Facility setting right next to one of the Gulag Camps. Yesterday Essex F-35Bs managed to infiltrate the aerospace of Northern Parliament and took that photo.
Zhukov took the photo and confirmed its validity, the harder he tried to prove it was fake, the more he failed. The authenticity is real and there is no photo shopping where our Commie-Fried excels.
Georgian-Man's brows twitch slightly and wrinkles are visible on his forehead, everyone in the Office can sense the shifting tension at him. They all can see him pondering as he doesn't notice everyone's attention is on him.
Finally, he releases a sigh, a very deep sigh. "Sorry. But you're your accusations of us conspiring with the enemy is not acceptable in front of the people of the Parliament. We overthrow a tyrant by the will of the people that wishes to be free." He said in compassion while visibly annoyed by what she was implying.
"And you came all the way here to accuse us, the people conspiring to be the enemy of humanity. Sorry but we cannot just let you dishonor those who sacrifice their life for empty evidence, your map may show the location and one single photo, but in truth, there is no such thing you mentioned there exists. Only a barren isolated cold tundra. If you're not going to talk about anything besides your accusations, this meeting is over."
He sat down after venting his anger in those fiery words as it came from the heart of a patriotic man.
Zhukov was surprised to see him bursting into anger like that, the last time he shouted and yelled in anger some would end up in one of the Camps. Each Camp defers from the level of the person's guilt or crime against the state, he or she will be sent to each Camp.
He's also surprised that the Diplomats were unfazed, especially the new face, he had a feeling that they were here not to ask the Premier about the existence of the Siren Facility, but to know how deep can they probe him for information.
'What are your plans.' He thought as he gazed at the Azur Lane Diplomats with suspicions.
Hood stood from her seat as she was followed by Wales, Bunker Hill-76 and Ambassador after watching Georgian-Man lose his cool and show them the result they wanted.
"As you say, Premier Stalin. This whole meeting is over." She said and turned to leave the Office, before could leave she left a word of advice.
"Before I leave, let me just inform you that the Alliance's eyes are not just only focused on Siren and Crimson Axis."
The door of the Office closes as the two Red Army Color Guards handle the door as the Azur Lane diplomat leaves.
Minutes have to pass the atmosphere in the room is heavy as both men had concerns inside them, but on a different agenda. One is concerned about the state of people and nation if those threats to humanity were inside their backyard undiscovered. The other one is concerned that the secrets he holds would come out and would cost the fall-out of the Parliament.
Zhukov stood there contemplating and lost for words. The belief that suck danger lurks inside one person's property scares him.
Zhukov's mind is filled with questions and doubts after hearing those words. Determined to find the answers for himself he stormed off the Office as heavy footsteps of a boot reverberated in the hallways of the Kremlin.
Comrade Ivan stood there and saluted, but before he could greet him he was given an immediate order to scramble an entire battalion of Red Army in a haste.
Comrade Ivan didn't have a time to react as Zhukov's face was in fury. Without wasting any breath and time he pounced to contact the nearest Military Base inside Moscow.
Sovetskaya Rossiya was confused by Zhukov's serious and angry face, she followed him in every step as they both stepped out of the building and headed to the parked car that waited for them. As they get onboard Rossiya asks what was the sudden change.
"Contact the available Shipgirls available in Vladivostok." He said, urgent.
Office
Georgian-Man sat in his chair holding his head, which is smoking in stress. He now knows that his gig in that region is discovered by the Alliance, he's been using it as a bargain to exchange advanced tech with the People in Gulag Camp he sent there to be punished. Just like the Iron Blood Spies that are recently captured.
He just hopes that they didn't leave anything behind at their escape after noticing some lack of activity in such a facility. But he can't just leave everything at the hand of luck, he needs to move before this secret is unveiled to the people.
He quickly glanced at the telephone at his table and quickly dialed the KGB Headquarters about the situation.
"Merkulov." He said in an angry.
"Yes, Premier Stali--." The man on the other side of the telephone answered but suddenly was cut off by Georgian-Man's authoritative voice.
"I have a job for you." He said with a tightened grip on the telephone as pure anger reverberated around him.
