Tyranny of Steel

While Berengar focused on expanding the Industry of his Empire, and securing his borders. Itami had begun her plans for modernization of her newly formed Imperial Japanese Army. Soon enough the woman would launch an attack on the rebels, and cut the heads off the multi-headed hydra that were her enemies.

However, this was not the only major events occurring in the world. The Sultanate of Al-Andalus had invaded Morrocco, and while Hasan was off playing the role of a Conqueror, German forces exerted control over Iberia, ensuring that the Spanish and Portuguese people did not raise their swords in rebellion.

However, war was not the only major events going on in the western world. As a result of the Catholic League ’s sanctions against the German Empire, poverty, famine, and pestilence had begun to spread across the Catholic World. This did not only affect the peasants, but the nobility as well.

Millions of young French women flooded the German border, seeking asylum and marriage with German men. They no longer cared if they were a second, third, fourth, or fifth wife, so long as they could escape the cruel fate that awaited them in their homeland.

It was not only France that was having this problem. In the neighboring Kingdom of Hungary, things were not going well for the average person. Even the nobility have suffered under the catastrophic effects of the trade embargo that the Catholic Kingdoms had presented against the mighty German Empire. Many of the products that Europe relied upon for survival were no longer entering the Catholic Kingdoms. One of these commodities was medicine.

Over the past eight years since Berengar had first entered this world, the medical industry of the German Empire had grown substantially, supported by the chemical manufacturing plants, many modern forms of medicine such as anti-biotic cream, and penicillin were products that people all over Europe now relied upon for their survival.
