Chapter 11: Californian Army

Chapter 11

Californian Army

            What Victor Romos saw was the undetected fighter bombers of the United States Air Force. They had begun an attack on the Californian capital. The attack started with the downtown area of the city. Before the bombers began their decent on the capitol building, everyone inside began running for the bomb shelter.

The Republic of California had been saved when the governor ordered a counter-strike by the National Guard of California. The newly installed government officers of the state were all saved from the bombing. The Californian Air National Guard fought valiantly to fend off the invading air force. Many brave Californians lost their lives in the first battle of the second civil war.

The next morning the President set forth a document which enabled the deployment for the Californian Air Force to protect the skies of the cities of California. The entire day was spent with every citizen going about their daily lives with fighter pilots looming over head. Fearing the possibility of another air strike. Fearing when the air strikes will become strikes by land and sea.

President Stanton, having been in the American Army during his younger years, knew that protection of the air was not the only thing that must be done. This being said, Michael Stanton included in the military document the deployment of the Californian Navy and Coast Guards to defend the coastal boarder of California. He also called for the deployment of Californian Army, which was the combination of the former National Guards of the secession states and American military personnel that stayed loyal to their state and ideals, to protect the borders of the Californian land. To better protect the American-Californian borders, the Border Patrols of the states were also incorporated into the new army. The new Californian Army.
