Hey Clausewitz, what do you think?
It is a dreary day at the Ministry of Propaganda in Berlin.
Minister Docd impatiently awaits in his office for von Clausewitz, lead scientist on the developement of unoffical rules.
"Where is this guy?" angrily mutters Docd.
"My meeting with Field Marshal Hill and Colonel Selinker is within an hour, and I need something to present to them if the rules of engagement are going to be relaxed for the weary arm-chair generals."
At that moment, there is a knock on the door.
"Come in!" shouts Docd.
In walks a soldier. "He has arrived sir."
"Send him in immediately!" declares Docd.
In walks a hurried von Clausewitz carrying an armload of papers.
"You are late!" proclaims the Minister Docd.
"I was putting the final touches to my latest breakthrough!" Clausewitz happily states.
"What is it?"
"Well sir, I have just printed up the orders to mass produce the old Mark tanks again!"
"What!!" exclaims Docd. "You mean those old 3/2 tanks the trainees used even before the war?"
"Yes!" explains von Clausewitz. "After the old tanks hit the front, we will then invest millions of production certificates in devolping a new 3/3 tank!"
"But the new 3/3 tank has already been developed and every country is effectively using it." "How can redeveloping the 3/3 tank help?!" shockingly asks Docd.
"Once the Allies hear we have a new tank, they will be shaking in their boots and surrendering by the hundreds!" von Clausewitz happily points out.
"Yes, and while we wait to redevelop an already proven unit, our tank corps will be slaughtered by infantry bayonets! I don't think so!" shouts Docd.
What else do you have?" he disappointly asks.
"Well, I've also been working on this thing about the capital." "I say we declare Berlin an open city!" von Clausewitz joyfully states. "We let the Allies know it doesn't mean anything to us."
"And with the secret funds we have in Zurich, we can continue fighting the war from Warsaw or Leningrad or the Pripet marshes! We could fight for a thousand years unabated!" Clausewitz gleefully grins.
Docd can hardly manage his anger. "You mean we abandon Berlin as if it is nothing and move the German government and High Command around like some caravan!!" "My god man!" he screams. "What will the German people think once they hear the capital has fallen! How far will the German economy, German production, the German soldier's morale plummet when Berlin is lost?! The Furher will never hear of this insane plan to abandon our beloved capital!"
"Beloved capital?" arkwardly asks von Clausewitz. "Capitals are just geographical expressions" he smartly smiles.
"Enough!!" screams DocD. "Guards!!"
In rush two armed soldiers. "Get this man out of my sight!" the Minister yells.
The two guards grab Clausewitz by his arms and proceed in dragging him out of the office.
"But wait!" von Clausewitz yells as the door slowly closes behind them. "You haven't heard my ideas on strategic bombing interceptors!"
Nice one huh Clausewitz :D :cool: :D
