This is the darkest timeline.
The only way to end this war is to take out the United States so we started preparing for the greatest invasion in history. While we were building up our war machine for the final push, support was provided to fifth columnist elements inside the borders of our enemies. This effort paid off as the citizens of Liverpool and Birmingham realized the inherit weakness of democracy and rose up.
By coincidence, the Germans invaded Dover right after the schism began. Churchill had to first concentrate on the Huns on his shore and it took him a year to put down the rebellion afterwards. In Canada, the plucky Italians took Newfoundland and Greenland and hunkered down.
In the Pacific, Nimitz finally pulled back from the Gilbert Islands. However, with Hawaii in our possession and the remaining US island bases in range of our new jet-powered tactical bombers we whittled down their fleets.
This raid wiped out the last remaining threat to our forces and left the West Coast wide open to invasion
It was time to start the final phase of this decades-long war. The first part was Operation Bait Hook.
General Sakai had failed to invade Singapore three times and had to make amends for this failure. He was ordered to take the edge of the Aleutian Islands and hold them with no supplies. As the Americans rushed down the island chain to respond we landed a force of marines and mountain troops at Anchorage and cut of their supply lines in the rear. This wiped out seven American armored divisions. Alaska wasn’t going to be the base of our invasion, it was a diversion to draw forces away from the true target.
Operation Fallen Eagle
The Northern Group would target the Seattle and Vancouver areas and link up with the Alaskan forces. Central Group would take Portland and hold the Cascades to guard our line. Southern Group would march down the coast and take the California port cities.
Our timing was quite fortunate as Hitler had grown impatient and unleashed a new weapon to break the fortress that was Great Britain. Would this let Germany gain a foothold on the island?
Narrator: It would not.
Things didn’t quite go to plan. Southern Group failed to take the port needed for their supplies and were encircled and wiped out. Seattle was taken then lost in a counter attack. Luckily our reinforcements (consisting of our most veteran units) arrived from New Zealand and helped retake the city and march to Vancouver. We had to pull our garrisons from India and the Pacific Islands and quickly rebuild a southern group. It was a stalemate for months till the tide turned. We captured some large American air bases which allowed our jet fighters and bombers to fill the skies. The biggest break was the end of the United Kingdom and the start of a two-front war on the American homeland.
What’s all this then?
The plucky Italians also sailed up Chesapeake Bay and landed in Maryland but that was quickly crushed.
After this we started facing smaller numbers of divisions, which allowed us to march down the coast all the way to Mexico and to begin pushing through the Rockies. We broke through the American lines in Colorado. As the Japanese army marched through the pass and onto the Great Plains, atomic bombs were dropped on Denver and Kansas City by some unknown nation. Also, around this time our support for fifth columnist action paid off again.
The South…I mean North shall rise again!
The fascist American faction joined the Axis and allowed German forces to gain a foothold on the east coast. They’ve quickly taken advantage of it. With nothing but wheat fields in our path, our advance has quickened and we march towards the new American capitol, Chicago. Those 30 victory points will end the war.
When the Windy City falls, the flag of Democracy will wave no more.
It is now the Axis version of the Race to Berlin.
