Hey, guys. I know a lot of you have been wondering what the Reds are and how they fit into the bigger picture. The reason I waited this long is because I didn't want everyone to know, but now it seems like it won't hurt too much to have more folks know. Here's their unheard story.
---------------------------------THE-ATLANTA-CRISIS--------------------------------
The Atlanta Crisis is a mystery to most folks, and for good reason. Essentially, it was a military coup perpetrated by an unholy alliance between a rebellious sect of the CDF and Brazil. During the coup, politicians and military leaders who were sympathetic to the US were either assassinated, captured, or fled. The coup was launched in an effort to quash any possible impending US-CDF alliance or reunification; a move that would put the US back at the top militarily and economically, almost certainly surpassing Brazil. The move was risky, but it was ultimately successful. The coup group attacked many forts where pro-US CDF military groups were stationed, some of which were based in the heart of New Atlanta itself. Under the superior equipment and firepower of the MEB and its former CDF comrades, the pro-US CDF stood no chance and was quickly extinguished. Those who weren't killed in the coup and managed to escape the fighting went into hiding shortly thereafter.
All US-owned diplomacy efforts, such as factories, forts, and job centers focused in the Southern states were all stolen and cleared during the coup. The US, unaware of the coup in progress, saw this as the CDF jumping forward and attempting a surprise attack on the US. The US was left in a poor state to counterattack, leaving Brazil and the rebellion with just enough time to instate the PRT, a puppet nation for Brazil. All lines of communication between the US and the south were quickly cut.
Given the time it took the US to recuperate and counterattack, the PRT was already instated and had successfully convinced the vast majority of the citizens of the south that the Atlanta Crisis was the US' failed attempt at seizing control over the South, and that it would come back for another attack very soon, almost surely destroying the PRT and wiping out all CDF-supporting towns in the process.
The PRT was thrown into a frenzy and sought to avenge those murdered during the Atlanta Crisis and quickly formed a fighting force to take on the US before they invaded. The US, still recovering from the theft of a major portion of its production and the killing of many of its troops, managed to form a defensive front against the impending PRT invasion. The PRT hit the US hard and fast, but lost steam rather quickly as the losses from both sides mounted and the US troops proved to be more experienced. The more robust and powerful equipment from Brazil alongside the PRT was an even match for the combined strength of the US and its European trade partners. Shortly thereafter, the border between the two newly-separated nations became more defined, cutting diagonally from northern Georgia's coast all the way up to the top of Nebraska. The MEB got what it wanted. The north and south were at war, splitting up the states and weakening them, leaving Brazil to reap the benefits. Most PRT as of 2115 are simple troops, similar to their US counterparts. Only a few of the PRT leaders know what the Atlanta Crisis really meant.
Both sides fought brutally for a few months before things simmered down a bit in the winter of 2099. Skirmishes between the north and south occurred sporadically for years, even through 2115.
During the fighting, most folks living in the war zone moved further north or south, depending on where they were before the fighting. Many post-war homes and buildings made by the CDF/US are now abandoned and make prime real-estate for narcotic-running groups, underground militias, bandits, and refugees.
---------------------------------THE-REDS------------------------------------------
In the intervening years between 2115 and the cooling down of the conflict, some of the ousted pro-US CDF, that managed to survive and find support either from the US and its European allies or from stolen PRT weapon stockpiles, formed the Reds. The Reds originally started as an anti-Brazil faction that was re-purposed by Jack Camacho, the head of the Reds.
The Reds don't own any forts or towns openly. Although some US military groups might be sympathetic and even supportive of the goals of the Reds, the US as a whole sees the Reds as nothing but a group of criminals. The PRT sees the Reds as traitors and thieves, and the MEB sees them as terrorists. This is mostly due to PRT propaganda.
The Reds are making progress as of 2115. The MEB has begun protecting its assets in the PRT a little more heavily and sending diplomats, which make prime targets for the Reds. The Reds are on the brink of a greater move, one that could ultimately lead to the evaporation of the PRT and the defeat of the MEB. It seeks to take towns along the PRT-US border. Assuming the town's people can be convinced that the goal of the Reds is a noble and just one, a difficult thing in itself, they'll likely support them. The MEB is reluctant to send a large force into a border town to quash a rebellion. The US would see this as a sign of weakness and come into the town to take it once the in-fighting is over. So the MEB is forced to use the same sort of hybrid warfare tactics that the Reds use against them.
Ironically, summer of 2115 is the year that both the Reds and the MEB decided to make a move. On June 21st, the MEB fired into a US fort and a conflict between the PRT and US ensued. A few miles further west, an MEB-led PRT force invaded a US fort successfully shortly after. Renewed fervor for war would soon follow on both sides of the border. The Reds are ready to begin their mission and take the border towns. Should they be successful, it will greatly weaken Brazil's chances of winning. Should they fail, the bloodshed will continue and all who know the truth will have died.
This is where ATF6 begins. |
