Chapter 9 - The end of the confrontation

June 18, 2015, Château Aux de Le Champignon, At night

Good God, the Russians really are uncompromising.

Maduro fled to Kazakhstan two weeks before the tropical Roman army arrived in Caracas, since then the Russians have not stopped the attacks, they really want to cause a war between powers.

The UN, oh the UN, is playing a pathetic role, our chancellor Paulus Guiscardus Hieronymus spoke about the Russian-Roman confrontation the Imperial Gazette.

"The Russians are very intransigent, well, if this confrontation continues they will suffer the greatest humiliation in history and we are not bluffing" New York, UN Headquarters, 06/22/2015.

It was another night in Augustopolis, I was watching the confrontation that was happening on the coast of Peru and Upper Peru in real time through a war channel, until more than 1,500 Russian soldiers surrendered along with their military leaders and they showed someone's severed head, the journalists were impressed, but soon another shocking piece of news reached them.

"Dear Roman-tropical citizens, the city of Vladiostokov in the Siberia region was attacked by an ICBM-class electromagnetic pulse missile and the entire region is without power, It may seem absurd, but this means that after the Second World War, we are the only country with nuclear weapons that attacked them and it seems that this is happening right now an uprising in Kursk, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Kaliningrad, the Russian army is moving to contain the population that is dissatisfied with the Russian-Roman confrontation, the war is in its final days."

This was a bit unexpected, but it seems the timeline is being prepared for a major cataclysmic event, Russia is no shadow of what it was in the Napoleonic Wars or the Cold War, This confrontation showed who was really the true power of the 21st century, neither China nor the United States, the Russians are now nothing more than mere servants of China, honestly if I wasn't so young I wanted to participate in the front in Venezuela, I could gain prestige among the military, nobility and population in general, but it is not yet time, perhaps Cuba or Nicaragua, Belarus would cause a confrontation in Europe and the majority of the Russian army was on standby to invade the Baltic States and Finland in retaliation, for now I will focus on technologically evolving the Tropical Roman Empire.
