*insert USTO opening

Houston School of Armored Warfare, Tankery briefing room

An's POV:

I had heard what was going to happen from Shichiro, a personal friend of mine, and the Director of the Japan Sensha Do Federation. Apparently the Japan Sensha Do Federation wants to have a match with us to determine if they get to dismantle our organization or not, and we have to win to make sure they don't. Currently, I am convening a meeting with all 700 members of the HSAW Tankery team, all of them currently serving in either the US Army, Marine Corps, or Vietnamese Army to discuss pre-match tactics.

Me (to the audience): Gentlemen, I'm sure you heard about the news coming out of Japan correct?

HSAW members: Yes sir!

Me: According to them, they want to dismantle us because we don't follow the "old age" rules of their Sensha Do. Meaning that we allow boys, unlike them where it's strictly female. As such, a match is being held to determine whether they shut it down or don't. And if we don't want it to be shut down, we have to win this. Currently, I'm planning to the strategies of our school before I discuss it with the other commanders of the other US Tankery schools. Our strategy for now is simple. Does anyone know?

A HSAW member in the crowd, who I identified as currently serving US Marine Corps Private Max Thompson, raises his hand.

Me: Yes, Private Thompson?

Thompson: Sir, I suggest that our strategy should be the same. We utilize the same Quân Giải Phóng tactics that we have been learning and using for the past few years.

Private Thompson sits back down.

Me: Private Thompson is correct. Since most of the maps we fight and they fight in are dense woodland, jungle, or urban environments most of the time, we can utilize Quân Giải Phóng hit-and-run attacks, since those Japanese schools we might face have no idea what we are going to fight like, because of our counter-intelligence methods regarding to our tactics. We need to be flexible in the first phase of operations. This means that we are to consistently use ambushes and small skirmishes on the enemy, so that their moral goes rock bottom. Then, once they are weak enough, we strike them with our own Chiến Dịch Hồ Chí Minh (Hồ Chí Minh offensive). And we will also use our superior special operations to fight at night on foot and to disable some of their stronger tanks while they're sleeping. Now I know that was cruel, but if we are going to need a fighting chance, we will take it. Private First Class William McPearson, would you please stand up and come up here?

One of my best buddies from the 141 and a fit for a Vice Commander, currently serving US Army Ranger Private First Class William McPearson comes up to the stage.

Me: I've already spoken to McPearson personally about the role, but in short, he will be our Vice Commander for the entirety of the match. I chose him because he possesses the leadership skills necessary to lead, and also, he has been our Vice Commander in the past, so this should make his job easier. McPearson (I take out my hand) congratulations again, for being picked as Vice Commander.

McPearson: It's a pleasure again sir. (he shakes my hand)

I speak again to the crowd.

Me: I would also like to mention that most of the Japanese schools speak a second language, such as for example the most well known, Kuromorimine Girls Academy, speak Japanese and German, but may learn English once they know of us. Hence, this is why it is important that we all communicate in Vietnamese during the match unless necessary to switch back to speaking in English, such as with the other US schools we are coordinating with. Rõ chưa? (Understood?)

HSAW members: RÕ! (Understood!)

Me: Right, everyone prepare yourselves for today's mock battle. Get ready your vehicles and split up into Coalition and Allegiance teams. Good luck and Bắt đầu chiến dịch! (Start the offensive!) (I salute to them all)

HSAW members (salutes back): RÕ! (Understood)

While everyone gets ready for the mock battle, McPearson and I stay behind to talk.

Me: McPearson, you alright?

McPearson: Yeah, just tired and all, of this nonsense.

Me: Makes sense. Price pushed you hard, hasn't he?

McPearson: Yeah. Ever since Shepherd betrayed us for Makarov, I've been pushed and trained hard in the 141. Remember Hamburg?

Me: Yeah. It's a miracle you even survived with the Rangers there. It was a nightmare.

McPearson: And you were lucky to not be nuked by Makarov, "Savior of the Free World". (he chuckles)

Me: Ah shut it (I lightly punch him). By the way, I think we're the only school with only modern tanks. Isn't that kind of unfair, don't you think?

McPearson: Sir, like you said, if our tanks are going to give us a fighting chance on the battlefield, then we will most certainly take it.

Me: I knew I could count on you. Just don't f*ck this up like us in Operation Kingfish, you got it, Viper?

A/N: Viper is the nickname of McPearson, just like An is Frost.

McPearson: Of course, sir.

Me: Now let's get to it. You will be leading the Allegiance forces, while I'll take the Coalition.

McPearson: Yes sir. (he salutes me) May I be dismissed?

Me: Yes you may. (I salute him) Dismissed.

While he goes plan with his forces, I go plan with mine on the mock battle we are to have.

Me (I sigh): This is going to be a long day....

A few hours later, on the battlefield

The battle was getting really intense. Of the 100 T-14 and M1 Abrams tanks we had for each side, our forces, the Coalition, was down to 2, my T-14 and Thompson's M1, while the Allegiance had McPearson's M1 and one other M1. It was a 2v2 battle now, and we might lose...or not.

A/N: The gunner of An's T-14 will be currently serving Vietnamese Army Private Phạm Duy Hưng, while the driver will be currently serving US Army Private Derby Townsend.

I opened the commander's cupola to see what was going on in the outside world. Turns out, the Allegiance tanks had hid themselves, just like us, but had one fatal mistake. Camouflage. They weren't camouflaged properly, so we could see the tip of the M1 M256A1 gun and I decided to take the chance for both my tanks to fire.

Me (through radio): Thompson, có một xê tăng đang ở cạch cây ở ngoài phía xa, ở ben phải. Bắn cái súng của nó để phá hỏng. (Thompson, there is a tank in the distance next the tree, on the right. Shoot its gun to disable it.)

Thompson: Rõ. (Understood)

His M1 shot the enemy's M1 at its gun, disabling it immediately when the white flag popped out. I climbed back in to tell my crew to take out McPearson's M1.

Me: Hưng, xê tăng của McPearson đang ở trong một bụi cây ở kía (I show via the T-14 camera), dùng một dạn APFSDS để bắn theo hướng của súng của xê tăng đấy và mình sẽ thắng cuộc trận. (Hưng, McPearson's tank is in the distance in the bushes. Use an APFSDS round to punch through the M1 gun, and win us the battle.)

Hưng: Rõ. (Yes sir)

Hưng proceeds to load a Vaccum-1 APFSDS round with the autoloader (nifty feature huh) and proceeds to do what I tell him and fires at the gun of McPearson's M1, disabling it like the last M1, getting us the win. I then hop out of my T-14, grabbing my M27 along, and went out to greet McPearson.

Me (looking into his tank): Nice match, huh?

McPearson: Yeah, nice match. Luckily for us, we don't have to repair our tanks.

Me: The advantage of dummy tank round simulations. Ha.

McPearson: So what now sir?

Me: We wait for the instructions provided to us by the Organization, then we brief with the other schools about strategy, and clean and grab all our gear for the match coming up.

McPearson: Let's just hope that the Federation keeps their word. Otherwise you and me are getting Team Metal and Task Force 141 on their a*sses, just like Makarov.

Me (chuckling): Let's hope for the best, though yes, I will consider that as our nuclear option if need be.

McPearson: Right.

On the other side of the world, Ooarai Girls Academy

Third Person POV:

Anzu was the reading the contract terms set by the Federation and the Organization. To her, it was particularly off that every Japanese Tankery school would be able to participate in this match against the Americans, but it was a unified team. Anzu though, being the school president she is, already knew what the Federation wanted. In her eyes, the veterans of Sensha Do wanted to dismantle the United States Tankery Organization, simply because of some of the rules made by the USTO that were different from the Federation, with the notable reasons of the boys being allowed to partake in this sport, and that the meaning of Tankery is different from Sensha Do. Her opinion was not with the Federation, but more so against. How could the Federation try to take away a sport that they had no jurisdiction of having, and the other reason is that, like Ami and Shichiro, the boys and in the general, the US, just came out of a war with the Russians. Momo and Yuzu already read the paper and are having their emotions. Yuzu was having the same point as Anzu, against the Federation's wishes, while Momo was staunchly pro-Federation, because in her mind, boys in Tankery is heresy to the sport that she played and fought in. It was then that Miho came in.

Miho: May I come in, president?

Anzu: You may.

Miho made her way to Anzu's desk.

Anzu: Miho, I need you to read this.

Anzu then handed the contract to Miho.

Anzu carefully scanned at Miho's face, conveying no expression, which would mean that she would support this.

Anzu: So....what do you think?

Miho: I think it's best if we dismantle their organization. The fact stands that boys taking part in this is what should not be tolerated. This sport is to make us more independent and be able to carry out decisions in the real world. The boys in this so called "Tankery" are basically spitting in our faces for this.

Yuzu: But what about your tactics? Surely you would be in a more open mindset?

Miho: I would, but this cannot stand. My tactics are not like Saunders, Pravda, or Kuromorimorine's styles. My tactics also are an irrelevant addition to the fact that boys are taking part in this sport in the US.

A/N: Yeah and Frost here is going to be pissed and send in Team Metal on your a*ses if you keep having that mindset. Ah the HSAW's nuclear option...

Frost: Agreed.

Anzu: So what you're trying to say is that we should be in a unified team with the Federation against the Americans?

Miho: Yes, that is what I exactly mean.

Anzu (sighs): Very well then. I will sign the contract and forward it to Ms. Chono.

Miho: So I guess I'm done here.

Anzu: Yes. You may be dismissed.

Miho went to the door, closed it, and left the Ooarai council room.

Anzu: I starting to pick out the pieces of why she may think that.

Momo: How so?

Anzu: Miho was orginally from Kuromorimine, and at Kuromorimine, they teach that Sensha Do is a scared part of their tradition. Hence, part of her reasoning.

Anzu then grabbed the telephone and started phoning Ms. Chono on Ooarai's participation in the match.

And so it begins...
