After Bismarck (MD) and the iron blood fleet told the others the situation they all ended up agreeing on a secret tour trough the Iron blood
With this all the Bundeswehr ships ended up boarding up KMS Bismarck, after KMS Bismarck docks on port she immediately goes get the fake ID's
After all of that she lets them in a cave where they can enter the iron blood without any problem, she also gave them some money, technically a lot of money but enough for all of them to live comfortably for a week
(like holiday comfort)
And so they started their trip through the Iron blood
They first decided where to stay
Luckily for them there was a hotel with some vacant spots and they put there, then they go explore Kiel
The city was just like the one they had back on their Earth and so they went to a history museum to understand what is the history of the Iron blood and the rest of the world
In the museum they see the history of the city, most of which was the same as theirs, until the 1930's, they then learn about the first human-siren war, or the first siren war as they called it, in this they learn of how humanity almost lost and how many nations fell onto chaos and with this the nations that were powerful enough to go and "protect" the less powerful nations by annexing them, which didn't fell well with the germans nor the polish people which didn't have a navy big enough to qualify for the powerful enough, but because of that both nations ended up on friendly terms and to and with the other nations that didn't want to get assimilated to the Soviet union nor the Iris Orthodoxy and so they all united into one nation, as long as everyone has their own government and control over their populations, so the Iron blood was born, and with this the Iron blood started to focus on technological advancements as even with all these nations united their navy size was enough to hold out, but not to do any offensive against the sirens
This was interesting for the modern ships, but they didn't want to come to conclusions yet, they wanted to be sure and so they continue to go around the city and see how the daily life of the people are with the fact of them being united with other nations
And they found nothing special, everything was normal, just like on their Earth, weird, how could modern day to day technology mostly exist but not modern weapons like missiles or jets, or nuclear bombs, and others, it's like they went back in pass to the 90's
(If you want to know, yes air travel is still in the interwar period era, and yes they actually had air travel that time, how do you think Nazi Germany made their bombers)
And with this it was already getting late so they decided to go to the hotel
In the hotel
Feist: So the Iron blood...
Z-1: It does seem to be a bunch of united nations, but do they have a central figure, like a president? Or does each republic have their own leader?
Bismarck: I mean a nation needs a government to represent all of its regions, maybe they have only a parliament, but it's still too early to make assumptions.
Graf Zeppelin: But we need to know if we can trust the iron blood or if we need to get away before we'll be serving a genocidal regime.
Bismarck: Honestly, I don't think they would have had us on this trip if they had something to hide, they could easily lie to us, and give us a controlled trip that only shows what we want to see, but my predecessor instead gave us fake ID's to go on this tour, so I don't think they had something to hide, but she might have gotten offended when we compared our history to theirs, and so I think she made this to make sure we understand that the Iron blood is completely and utterly different from Nazi Germany.
Rheinland: So we can trust them?
Bismarck: For now at least, but I still want more evidence, I think for now we should join as a non-combatant role, like helping with maintenance or logistics until we have definitely proof of the Iron blood being a democratic nation, that only doesn't do genocide, but openly opposes genocide.
Admiral Hipper: But what if they aren't those? Then what should we do?
Bismarck: I'm still thinking about an escape plan, and I don't want to go to the base without one, so let's wait a bit until I get a plan. I just don't want to go and blow everything up, we still don't know how to use our weapons so we would lose in a battle. Alright so I think we can just use the cave to enter the Iron blood, to enter it again if they ever show that they are in a dictatorship, we can use that to get back to here and fly away to another nation, but I still need to know where we can fly to, and if we have multiple options of where to go.
Rheinland: So for now we'll go to sleep?
Bismarck: Yeah, for now we go to sleep.
And then they went to sleep
The next day
Bismarck wakes up early and proceeds to wake the others up
Brandenburg: So why did you wake us so early?
Bismarck: Well to try to know what transportation we can use to escape, and what routes we can go. So me and Hamburg will go to the airports, Graf Zeppelin and U-31 will go see the train, while Feist and Z-1 will go see any ship that could take us away from us, meanwhile the rest can just enjoy the day
Later
Bismarck and Hamburg go to the airport
Hamburg: So it seems that they only accept travel to the Sardegna empire, Northern Parliament, Iris Orthodoxy and there is a optinal route after the Northern Parliament that goes to the Sakura empire. Royal navy, Iris Libre, Eagle union and Dragon Empire are currently close to traveling because of the war, and they are also on a shortage of planes because most of their air fleet has been turned into bombers, honestly I don't know what half of these names are, Royal navy seems to be the British, the eagle union might be the United States, Dragon Empire could be china? And the rest I'm completely dumbfounded what nations might be.
Bismarck: Yeah, it seems like it wasn't just Germany that changed it's name, but I think by these I can say that the friendly ones are on the axis and the ones that they are currently at war is the allies, and this might be before operation Barbarossa so the Northern Parliament which I think it's the parallel to the Soviet union is still friendly. So our best bet would be to go to the Northern Parliament and then we can go through it maybe to the royal navy.
Hamburg: You think the Northern Parliament is the Soviet union?
Bismarck: North and cold, it seems like a parallel to the Soviet union.
Hamburg: Let's just get a map of the world and see what nations are what.
Bismarck: Yeah.
They get a map and compare the nations
Bismarck: Alright, so if we need to go somewhere, we can go to the Northern Parliament and then fly to the Eagle union, then we can help them fight the Iron blood. If we need.
Hamburg: What about the Iris Orthodoxy? Why can't we fly through there?
Bismarck: That is probably Vichy France so if we go through there we'll be unable to fly to the royal navy and we would get caught.
Hamburg: So what do you think the other found out.
Meanwhile the others found out a pretty much the same traveling and so the plan became to go Northern Parliament and then use it to go to the eagle union
So with this they decided that in the next day they would go and join the Iron blood as in non-combatant roles
(End of chapter, another chapter Yeepeh! And you may be wondering, why haven't they joined yet? Well I don't think it makes sense for them to immediately to join the Iron blood, since it's based on Nazi FUCKING Germany, and you know German people actually hate Nazi Germany, so it wouldn't be as simple as "you want to join? Yes" scenario, you actually need to make sure they want to fight for the Iron blood, and because it's a counterpart of Germany isn't a perfect one, so imagine your government has done a lot of fucking fucked up shit on world war 2, like I don't know, a state sponsored genocide, and now they make a game about WW2 and they put your nation in it, and you want to do a fanfiction about the modern military going back there, now the main problem is, why TF would they fight for such a terrible nation? So you need to make the nation not commit genocide, but also make sure the characters understand that this nation doesn't do that and hates that, alright sorry for the rant but I hope you understand why, this needs to be take with care and patience since it's not as easy as the eagle union and royal navy which their real life counterparts were better, not perfect, I mean it's war, you can't have a clean war, but at least they didn't commit a genocide, alright until next chapter and goodbye)
