Chapter 8 - Signal of Doom

Those Russian and Venezuelan bastards can't wait to see what I'm going to do to them once I come of age.

The days of multilateralism will be over, the Americans were too kind to these vodka drinking idiots, they called their doormat in South America and they formally went to war against the Tropical Roman Empire, the New World is definitely on fire, naval and air combats against the Russians in the coastal region of Peru and Alto Peru, in the north of the country, Venezuelan troops invaded villages and are marching towards the city of Stephanus Magnus, capital of the province of Nova Gades, the general commander of the Northern region of the Tropical Roman Empire, Deodatus Severianus Macromanus, has already sent more than 40,000 soldiers to repel the invading forces and 25 Belissarius-535 tanks and 10 MBT tanks Maiorianus-453, 20 Circa Magna fighters and 30 Titus II class heavy helicopters, this timeline is deviating sharply from the original timeline, now I will have to move before other powers take advantage of the chaos that is happening in the Tropical Roman Empire.

It had been a month since the Russians and Roman-tropical forces were fighting in Alto Peru and Peru, the Roman-tropical army in the northern region of Italia Australis had already crossed the Onorico River, it would only last four more weeks and the army would arrive in Caracas, the Venezuelan Front was already very close to the end of the conflict, the biggest problem would be what would come next, the coup d'état of Prince Paulus failed, but their ally Russia simply would not accept that Venezuela has a military occupation equal to post-World War II Germany, diplomatic sanctions would come and they would call their biggest ally: China.

If it were a game of chess, countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Belarus would be the pawns, of little or no military relevance but could cause some loss against some pawns, as for North Korea, Vietnam, Kazakhstan would be the horses, they have more impact but are still not as strong militarily, Russia, the United Kingdom and France are the towers, in their golden age they were great, today they are countries with influence reduced, Germany and the United States would be the king, rare and dominant in their area, China would be the queen, occupies a function of the same position, however more careful, the Saturnian kingdoms definitely occupy the position of bishop, technically above the military power of Earth, a power coming from space, notably occupies symbolically the same position as the bishop, a representative of the metaphysical power transmuted and became the representative of space power to the detriment of the other five chess pieces and definitely the Tropical Roman Empire would be something between the Rook and the King, but what could happen it will be a disaster, what nations that do not have a strong army or atomic weapons will go through in an alien attack will be something like a global version of the Sack of Baghdad.

I was on my computer watching a rocket launch from the Roman Space Agency, from Earth to the Moon, until I heard interference in the transmission and a hoarse voice said something strange, then the transmission returned to normal and the rocket was written in strange letters, which left everyone impressed, but this is something much worse, it was written in the Weplechian language, of all five Saturnian kingdoms, the Weplechians are the most dangerous, in my timeline, the Weplechians plundered Europe from Lisbon to Moscow, more than 300 million people were killed, at the end of the 21th century.

I was startled by what they wrote in Ordo Weplechian.

"Earth's ancient days of space exploration are over, the day of Twilight is coming."

If they will lead the attack of the Saturnian kingdoms, the Earth will fall to its knees to space powers, if at the end of the 21st century the Weplechians killed more than a billion people with technology considered the most advanced, the beginning of the 21st century was the same as the 4th century, in 70 years everything the world currently knows was thrown in the trash or little used, semi-conductors are one of the things that the world lost it for over 275 years, until it was rediscovered in 2350, when the Earth Union expelled the Weplechians from Taiwan, where they found semi-conductors even more advanced than what had been.

The time had come for me to move, not to defeat the Russians, they are nothing compared to what they once were, the Weplechians are extremely dangerous, if we do not prepare for the invasion of the Saturnian kingdoms, the chance of a current power containing an invasion of the Saturnian kingdoms is almost zero.

So I took my notebook and wrote down the five inventions that could be made with the natural resources that the Tropical Roman Empire had.

1st: Nuclear fusion engine, the most crucial of inventions, after fire, the wheel and the steam engine.

Chemical elements: Deuterium (²H), Tritium (³H).

2nd: Global climate, humanity's largest geophysical project, created in the late 24th century and later used to terraform Mars.

Required objects: Nuclear fusion machine, drones and satellites.

3rd: Interplanetary missiles, a 25th century invention that ended the threat of the Saturnian kingdoms.

Metals required: Graphene, titanium and nanocarbon.

4th: Rare metal converter or popularly known as "Martian Alchemy", an invention from the early 25th century that made Earth create more than 1000 space frigates per hour.

Required objects: Nuclear fusion machine (mandatory), special high temperature cement and reinforced volcanic ash ceramics.

5th: Miniaturizer of objects, an invention of the 60s of the 25th century, tanks could now be taken from one solar system to another in a suitcase and they worked perfectly.

Required objects: Nuclear fusion machine (required) and rare earth metal converter (required).

I finished writing and took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror.

"The world is not prepared for what is coming, they still think there will be a Cold War between China and the United States,

it's time to move Titus Commodus Augustus

the real threat of the 21st century does not come from Beijing, Moscow or Pyongyang, the Saturnian kingdoms are humanity's greatest threat."
