Authors note: This is a series i have been thinking on doing for some time, basically i will be writing a story in a WWZ style about the aftermath of the chimeran war and what happened in it. Please note that this is my first PUBLISHED fanfic. I would appreciate some ideas as to what to do in this story and whether or not i should do specific regions of the world. The inspiration for this story largely comes from the following authors :LogicalPremise, DeathScytheVII and the youtube channel AlternateHistoryHub. You should all read/watch the works made by these people as they are of far superior quality to mine.

June 1st 1974, Hawassa, Capital of the East African Empire

The man is dressed in a richly flowing robe, its bright colours in a patriotic red, yellow and green. The heavy crown on his head is shaped like a roaring lions head, and a servant gently takes it off and puts it on a yellow satin cushion. He is old in the extreme and a long white beard trails down his chest. Emperor Haile Selassie the 1st is looking every bit the part of a ageing aristocrat.

He sits down on the chair and gestures softly at me to speak.

(Myself) Greetings Emperor, may i ask you a few questions about the event known as the *Kubwa kufa?

(H) What of it?

(Me) Could you describe the beginning of it to me please?

(H) Certainly, it all started when the Red Curtain fell, I was attending a summit of the so called "League of Nations", League of Imperialists more like. I was speaking to the assembly on the issue of the Italians launching border raids from Eritrea for what seemed like the thousandth time when a lowly dignitary burst into the chamber, the man was calling out in Polish and i distinctly remember hearing the words "invasion" and "Russian". My speech was called off of course.

The Emperor has a distinctly sour look on his face at this.

(H) He hurriedly yelled from the podium he stood on in that lord be damned accent of his that made it difficult to understand a word he was saying… But the general point was gotten across by my translator. The Russians were invading.

(Me) As the only confirmed surviving witness to the * "Kucharski Address", what was the general response to the speech?

(H) All over the place, as young people say nowadays. Grand Duke Michael of Finland actually went into cardiac arrest. The Polish and Rumanian delegates began yelling for phones to their homes countries. The only thing i really noticed was odd was that ex… president? I believe the word is? Well, anyway the senior diplomat of Germany Hindenburg . He calmly got up, raised a luger into the air and fired once. Once the shock was over he simply declared that the session was over and we should all inform our home countries of the situation.

(Me) This was when you fled Geneva?

(H) …yes yes i think it is… I called the embassy to immediately pack bags and head for the Imperial Airship Solomon. It took… perhaps two days? to pack up and leave, By this time we had received news that the baltic nations had fallen and Helsinki was besieged, I sent a cadre of diplomats to meet up with whoever was in charge of the Russian diplomatic division.

The Emperor looks despondent at this.

(H) Listen to me, diplomatic division. I sent my own cousin in that division… We never found out what happened to them…

(Me) Your Majesty?

(H) Oh? sorry, sorry. I just wish we knew what we know now… I mean i could have saved Addis Abba if we knew that the accursed things would feint an acceptation of a surrender to attack our best generals… Harar might not have fallen if we knew that the Goliath's carried Spires with them. I could have… i could have…

A diode on his majesties chest under the robes begins to beep rapidly, several trained medical professionals, two of whom are in the robes of priests of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, enter the room and begin to treat the ancient man. The senior of the two approaches me.

(Priest) I was with his majesties entourage on the day we left Geneva, i can continue the story from here.

(Me) What was the reaction of the Ethiopian government?

(Priest) The Governors were split, about half of them wanted to follow the American's lead and shut our borders, the other half wanted to use this invasion as an opportunity to seize colonial lands such as Somalia and the Darfur.

(Me) So who won?

(Priest) In the end the isolationists won, and its a very good thing to. If we had followed Liberia's example and seized the neighbouring lands then *Mapepo ya Kaskazini would have been drawn to us immeadilty, we were lucky we avoided attack until almost six months after the daedalus incident.

At this point the old priest is called over to the Emperor to administer some sort of medicine. The ceremonial guards show me out to the waiting automobile, Its and older model, and as it slowly chugs through the streets of Hawassa, I can only admire the throngs of people in the streets. This is Hawassa, the worlds largest city that contains 200,000 people….

*Kubwas Kufa = Great Dying

The Kucharski Address was the entrance impromptu dress to the league of nations by Polish Ambassador Paul Kucharski. It is famous because it was first such dress to be recorded by live television. This is how the majority of the population of Europe found out about what would later be called the chimera. The speech gave an early warning to millions of people who were able to get out. It is estimated that 70% of european refugees got out of the continent because they had prior warning and thus prepared for the event. This was the largest source of such a warning.

*Mapepo ya Kaskazini = Northern Demons

This story is something i have been wanting to do for some time, most of the inspiration comes from the author LogicalPremise. Please review for what country you want me to do in the future.
