Bite-Size Tales of the LNH v20 #7:
"First Republic"
By Andrew Perron
****
A dark room with a bright screen, lit up but blank.
"Let me explain to you the history of Earth-Chi."
With a *click*, an image is projected of Europe, with red and green
arrows crawling over it.
"World War II. Hitler is assassinated before he can break Nazi
Germany's pact with Communist Russia. A combined Nazi-Soviet-Fascist
force steamrolls, slowly but surely, through all defending forces.
Britain falls, and once the Axis has spread across Europe, they make
the leap across the Atlantic."
A *click* showing bombers over New York City.
"The United States has not been idle. They have prepared for this
moment with all their might. Their arms and men are ready."
"And they fail."
A *click* and the bombers are over Washington DC.
"They are not expecting the tactics and technology the Axis brings to
bear. They are faster than expected, and manage to sweep past the bulk
of American defense. The defenders rally, but are routed repeatedly."
A *click* shows men burning papers on the Capitol steps.
"By the time the Axis war machine approaches DC, the government is
panicking. Roosevelt tries to keep order, but congressmen and senators
flee in droves. He leaves for parts unknown."
*Click.* A man in a suit hands a rolled-up sheet of paper to a
decorated general.
"A collaborationist government is setup and delivers an official
declaration of armistice, and message are broadcast, telling the people
to stand down."
*Click.* Soldiers, faces smeared with mud, standing in a forest around
a tank, in which Roosevelt defiantly stands.
"Some do... and many do not. The Free States of America comes
together, declaring themselves the true government, and the American
Resistance begins."
*Click.* A pitched battle between two armies, planes dogfighting
overhead.
"For five long years, they battle, and though it is hard, endlessly
hard, they never stop."
*Click.* The map of Europe again, with bright blue lines over the red
and green ones.
"In Europe, the Axis cannot hold what they have taken; in victory, they
turn on each other. From without and from within, they are broken
apart, as nations rise up. Forces are called back to the mainland, and
as World War II ends years late, America is free once more."
*Click.* Cheering and celebration in the streets of a war-torn
Philadelphia.
"Now, there will be a short quiz. Just the one question."
The lights come up, showing Doc Nostalgia operating the projector. He
turns to face Configuration Man, sitting at a desk, fidgeting and
looking nervous.
"Would you say," said Doc Nostalgia, pacing back and forth, seemingly
relaxed, "that what happened is something you could reasonably call
'the US surrendering'?"
"Well, uh, I mean, technically the government did--" Configuration Man
squirmed as Doc Nostalgia looked at him. "Um, no."
Doc Nostalgia nodded, turning away from Configuration Man. "And would
you say this speaks to anything about the national character, and their
tendency towards surrender?"
"...no?"
Doc Nostalgia spun around, eyes blazing, and smacked his hands down
hard on the desk. "Then WHY, for the LOVE of EVERYTHING you hold dear,
do you assume that JUST THAT ASSOCIATION holds true for FRANCE!?"
Fearless Leader raised an eyebrow as Doc Nostalgia ranted and raved at
the quailing Configuration Man. "Not the kind of reaction I expected
from him."
January Frost shrugged. "He fought alongside the French Resistance in
Operation Dragoon. Quite the eye-opening experience, it seems."
FL nodded, and they walked off to check on the Peril Room.
"...and another thing!"

Author's Note: Yeah, this is basically just me putting a personal rant
into story form. But I hope it was at least interesting.

about it, though. I believe this to be a failure of serious what-if
discussions. The ones I see always go,
"What if Hitler...?"
"Hitler would never..."
"Well, what if someone else?"
"No one else would dare."
But a Nazi-Soviet-Japanese Super Axis was a very real concern to
everyone else back then.

the opposing point of view... If the United States surrendered to the
Axis as thoroughly as France did, there'd have been plenty of U.S.
resistance movements, but we'd have seen all the following.
* Axis powers occupy the entire eastern and Gulf coasts.
* The entire remainder of the U.S. mainland joins the collaborationist
government.
* Overseas territories decide individually which way to go. For
example, Puerto Rico allows Axis planes to launch bombing runs from
there against the British Virgin Islands.
* FDR has to decide whether to retreat to Alaska or Hawaii.
* The *British* (well, probably the Australians by this point) attack
Pearl Harbor because they can't be sure the U.S. Pacific Fleet will
fight on against the Axis.
... all parallels to Vichy France and its territories.

Ah, I see what the LNH Wiki says about him. But *that* leads to the
> anything short of a bursting shell, so.
obvious next question. How come he didn't win the war in 1943?
In fairness, I can volunteer a couple of answers...
1. It usually requires control of territory to win a war. As shown in
Powernaut 1941, it usually requires more than one man to control territory.
2. Maybe Our Hero is the reason the war didn't last until 1946.
Along those lines, I admit I'm feeling an increasing need for the world
to read a Powernaut 1944 series. It won't be *next*, but I've actually
started work on it already. And this series is made for guest stars.
One of them could be Doc Nostalgia. And why stop there?
As we've seen, the Powernaut's history is a very loose thing. There's
no reason he can't team up with anyone from any universe, no background
questions asked.
So: Your Hero could be drawn into Powernaut 1944. Probably even get
his (or her) very own episode, full of him fighting the Axis! And you
get creator credit, of course, plus your series imprint when the episode
gets published. (For instance, Doc Nostalgia gets "LNH", or is it
"LNH20"?) Just point me at answers to these questions:
1. How's he dress for battle?
2. What are his powers?
3. How does he react to a hail of gunfire from the Waffen-SS?
4. How does he not win the war by 1943?
The Powernaut and several guest stars will spend this series
demonstrating their own answers to those questions. And I promise it'll
be as funny as war ever gets.

It's true - the sheer size of the US makes something like this hard to
accomplish. I suspect there's a lot of divergent details that Doc N didn't
get into.

remember which setting it had that had superhuman battles as a "third
front" - probably ASH - but prolly something like that. Maybe with some

gets into religious wars about Operation Sealion for precisely that
reason. But I don't think this detail should detract from your story.
If the Red Army helps invade France, the Germans can concentrate on
building a navy.

bullets, locomotives, and tall buildings... those are all things the
Germans have. So (for instance) Doc Nostalgia can probably stop a
train, as long as it's not pulled by *two* locomotives. This could be
an important concept to remind World War 2 comic strip fans of. 8{D>

Yeah, I can see Japan getting bogged down in Australia, once their army gets free from conquering China. They'd much rather invade India, but they *had* to hold on to the Dutch East Indies.

Her meeting with the Powernaut might be at the beginning of her
