//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Cold War: The Global Threat // by GeneralSniperplayer //------------------------------// 1918, that was the year of the end of the Great War, the world was recovering economically and socially after everything that happened during the 4 long years of pure pain and despair, thus, having some years of peace, years that everyone thought that was going to last forever, many had in mind that the Great War was the War to end all Wars, but they were all wrong. In 1936, Germaneighia, elected a new President, Aryanne Hoofler, at first glance, the other countries looked at her as an ordinary President, so, just by shaking her hand, Germaneighian industries began to evolve at an alarming level, especially in the war industry. In 1938, Aryanne broke the Arms Decrease Pact, which left other governments worried. That's when 1939 came, another War broke out, Germaneighia was spreading across the Ghale Continent, Oakland helped Gargouile and Ezpassionia, who also called Equestria, in 1941, Stalliongrad entered the War, after receiving a Germaneighian attack, every week that passed. As it passed, Germaneighia dominated more territories, and more countries entered the war, all countries involved were forced to industrialize and develop new military tactics. Arriving in 1945, Aryanne Hoofler was surrendered at her base by a group of military and paramilitary Germaneighia, thus forcing her to give the order for everyone to surrender, after a few days, she was executed, the group that surrendered and killed her, never revealed his identity, but they are out there in the world, Equestria and Stalliongrad were in charge of all Germaneighia, and did not want to make deals, with that, Ezpassionia intervened and separated half of the territory for each, separating it in the Eastern Germaneighia, for Stalliongrad and Western Germaneighia to Equestria. The world went through difficulties again, due to the War, but they managed to recover in less than 1 year, there were still Germaneighia Nazis who refused to surrender or hid, who were out there, being militiamen who believed that the Empire should be rebuilt, other paramilitary groups that fought against the Germaneighia, remained in Ghale to fight them and investigate their old plans clandestinely. In 1947, Equestria and Stalliongrad began to threaten each other due to each other's 'territorial invasion' in Germaneighia, these 'invasions' never had a reason to happen that would have been in the public interest, so both began to industrialize en masse, as if he were in a military conflict that was not happening. The friction between the two countries was getting more and more arduous, but there were never really heavy attacks from either side, but both were in a state of silent alert. However, one planned to attack the other, but they didn't attack because they didn't want something so dangerous for themselves. Not only tanks and weapons were developed during this time, but also new communication equipment, such as long-distance radio and terminal computers, intended for military use. In the spy part, they also had new technologies, cameras, listening clips and pens that shoot darts, after the Ministry of Defense made the request to the Ministry of Technology, more factories of the Star Powder company were built, in order to start mass production of the equipment. In total only 2 teams were sent to spy on Stalliongrad, one in Irktrosky and the other in Trottingham, at the behest of the General Commander. In Equestria, some people were disappearing but coming back, or just dying, from accidents or suicide. In addition to the Ministry of Defense and Technology, there were 4 more Ministries, which influence freedom of expression, culture and the Equestrian economy, namely the Ministry of Science, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Morals and Ministry of Information, each with its own board and functions. The Ministry of Defense manages the army and much of the Equestrian Intelligence, in addition to conducting black ops, clandestine operations, file burning and international espionage, some things even under the President's nose, things that do not go to the public. The Ministry of Technology invests in the technological development of Equestria, both military technology and civilian technology, also responsible for the urbanization of Appleloosa, Dodge City and other rural towns. Ministry of Health, manages the pharmaceutical industry, medicinal development and production of medicines and stimulant drugs, such as Buck and Med-X, with the help of the Ministry of Science, which invests in scientific advances and even in chemical weapons The Ministry of Information controls the Equestrian media, newspapers, TV, radio and even advertisements, it manages a small part of the Intelligence and looks for scapegoats, the Ministry of Morals is already part of the management of the federal and civil police, which investigates all crimes in Equestria and smuggles information, trying their best to sell false information to the enemy, besides dominating the Judiciary. The Ministry of Morals also manages a part of the Intelligence and tries to raise the spirits of the population, conducts parties throughout Equestria and opens entertainment venues, such as nightclubs, bars, among others, which serve as a distraction for counterintelligence. “Did you get the documents?” said a man at a bar counter. “If I hadn't made it, I wouldn't be here.” replied the man with a suitcase. “Let’s go with the exchange!” exclaimed the man at the counter, after taking a sip of his drink. It turns out that our Intelligence is competent, and always brings reinforcement to the missions. The man with the suitcase got up and went to the door of the bar that leads to the alley, the exchange was going to take place there. “So where's the money?” asked the man with the suitcase, taking off his hat and tucking it under his arm. "Here it is!" replied the man who was drinking, showing a folder. “Let's go with it.” exclaimed the lord of documents. “Good night at 2.” said a girl who appeared entering the alley. "Who are you?" asked the man with the folder. "Nobody." after she answered him, 1 sniper shot down the folder man, then the suitcase man Hope is the last to die, patience is the first. - Sky, Snow.
