Fragmentation: Twilight of the Reich

Instructions

With the Führer dead on October 15, 1963, the Reichstag Emergency Council announced a mourning period and funeral service for the former Führer. The dead Führer didn’t get to choose his successor due to this sudden passing. As a result, the leaders mobilized and prepared the nation for a civil war, with Heydrich mobilizing the SS with assistance from Burgundy, controlling border regions in Alsace-Lorraine and East Prussia, Speer arming the student movements and inviting the Reichsbanner to fight alongside him, taking over the northwestern regions of the Rhineland and Hanover, Göring redirecting the Luftwaffe to allied airbases, establishing his presence in the northern coastal regions and Western Prussia and finally ending with Bormann controlling the Heer, assuming control over the south in Bavaria and Austria. Only Germania and the surrounding Brandenburg Gau remained under the Reichstag Authority, with the four faction leaders recognizing only themselves as the rightful successor, ripping the Reich to pieces by declaring war against each other, starting the German Civil War. Important Events: November 3 1963, Hans Speidel and Erwin Rommel will coup the Council in Germania, declaring neutrality and ordering remaining Wehrmacht units to protect the city and its surrounding areas in Brandenburg from the havoc of the war. If Heydrich performs well enough to capitulate one of the contenders in the civil war, the two remaining factions can form an Anti-Heydrich Alliance, forming a truce to jointly combat the Spartanist threat. The alliance will disband after both members are defeated or if Heydrich capitulates, which resumes the war between the two remaining belligerents. Other Important Things: Bormann has the most influence with 25 -> 22 Göring has the second close with 15 -> 18 Speer coming second in last with 10 -> 13 Heydrich barely having any at all with 10 -> 11 [Heydrich had 5, but gained 5 more due to being the successor to the Reich by the Austrian painter]. [This is important due to being legitimate as the German government, as well as possibly swaying the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to your side as your puppet and join the war as your puppet]. Speer primarily concerns freeing dissidents and slaves to fight as mobilized units in the war, getting foreign support from the United States and Japan as well as non-aligned nations in Europe and industrialising his territory towards a war economy. Bormann aims to rally the NSDAP bureaucracy to fight with their wealth (personally funding the war effort), "politically mobilizing" by getting support from higher levels of German society and drafting manpower to try and finish the war quickly. Heydrich is forced to go down one of the three exclusive options for which SS to rely on throughout the war: the Burgundian SS loyal to Himmler, the German SS loyal to Heydrich or the Waffen-SS loyal to neither. The choice between the three branches will have consequences after Heydrich's victory, the most obvious being highlighted in the focus effects where Himmler's will be displeased with his choice should he choose either of the latter two options (ex: less willing to send support). Rules: 1. Be realistic! You can’t ally with other factions as your faction, and if I see something unrealistic, it will be voided, and only I can approve if something is realistic or not. 2. No power play! You can’t be overpowered or make your country a lot stronger than it is, like spawning 2,000,000 troops that are fully trained with the best possible equipment to attack an enemy. 3. No AI! You can’t use any AI to write your RP’s, if I catch anyone use AI then it will be voided and further usage of AI may get you removed from the role-play entirely. 4. No toxicity! I don’t want to be the role-play to be a place of conflict between people and any conflict between people shouldn’t take place in this, if conflict in this role-play continues then it may lead to consequences for the people involved. 5. No alternative accounts to have an advantage over others! You may use an alternative account if your account was banned, hacked, lost or whatever but you would need to state that and if you are seen with using an alternative account to have an advantage over others, then you would be punished and could be removed from the role-play if this happens multiple times. 6. No copying others role-plays! You may take inspiration from others and use the same idea of others role-plays, but what you may not do is copy and paste the role-play without any change. If I catch anyone doing this, then you will have to face consequences. 7. Role-play with proper grammar! It’s really hard understanding role-plays when there are lots of errors in them. I understand people make mistakes, but it makes it a lot faster for me to read and respond to your role-plays if there are little to no mistakes.
