Several Months later..............

"A great victory today by the Allied Forces over France as they push the Soviet Forces out of Europe towards the Polish-Soviet Border. " A female news reported spoke.

Images of Allied Soldiers moving through streets and going toward the alleys to avoid heavy machine gun fire being fire upon them from a destroyed building in front.

Another was shown a video of a guardian tank taking a hit from a Rhino tank before turning it's turret towards it and returned fire in which the Rhino Tank explodes leaving the turret flying.

Next was a pair of Cryocopters flew over a village from the country side of France as they unleash a pay load of Flash Freeze missiles towards a retreating convoy of Soviet armour.

The missiles impacted the convoy as the vehicles were frozen in which render them vulnerable to a follow up attack by a squad of Vindicator Bombers as they flew in and bombed the convoy leaving no survivors.

Then the images vanished showing the female news reporter with a sad face.

"However the cost of victory was high, the lives that were lost were  insurmountable. We bid farewell for the heroes who fought and died for the freedom of our allies in Europe. "

The screen turn black, Field Marshall Robert Bingham sighs as he turns around heading towards his desk and sat on his chair.

"So many young men died, a fate that can't be avoidable but can be lessened. " He muttered as he scan towards the documents he received from the past week.

His frown turn into an actual smile as he see his efforts were not in vain as the commander that he entrusted to be put into the European campaign was having good results.

The said commander able to push back the Reds back where they belong little by little.

The reports detailed the extent of his capabilities of the commander and his natural charismatic nature to improve morale toward his troops. Not to mention he is the inspiration for other young commanders to follow his lead as they push the Soviets back into their own territory.

As he out aside the exploits of the commander another concern has brought up into his table.

Reports came flooding about a secret Soviet facility somewhere in Africa developing weapons that can able to win and end wars.

However the Allied Intelligence Bureau needed more evidence and facts as the information they were given have too many holes and weaknesses to be seen as a proof that Soviets were indeed making weapons of mass destruction.

A spec ops were sent in Africa last week to verify the authenticity of the reports.

'Now that you mentioned it. ' He thought as he contacted Eva.

"Oh hello and good afternoon, Field Marshall, what can I do for you? " Eva asked.

"I want to know about our team that was sent in Africa and regards of the rumours about a secret weapon that was being made by the Soviets. Any updates regarding it? " Robert asked.

Eva's face filled conflicted as if she was hesitant to speak what happen but she steel herself and look towards the Field Marshall.

"Sir, the team that we sent in Africa is possibly MIA. They didn't contact us regarding what happen in 24 hrs after they were in the location of possible Soviet base, afterwards they went silent. These continue on until the higher ups ruled that they were possibly MIA, even we tried to contact them we only received static in return. "

"How about our satellites orbiting in space they can't just possibly vanish without a clue on what happen to them. " Robert asked as he turn towards the screen as a map of Africa was shown.
