Xavier’s Wall
After the release of Germany’s plan to invade France through neutral land, it became clear to the Republic that steps must be changed to address the obvious flaws of the Maginot Line. In an unprecedented level of correspondence, Xavier’s Wall was successfully proposed. The countries of Luxemburg, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland all agree to expand the Maginot across their border with Germany, forcing the Communist state into an untenable situation if it were to ever aggress any of the countries. With the substantial British aid and with the host countries offering some support, work immediately starts on building the largest wall in human history. In accordance with the individual agreements, the French Army will man the wall with aid from the host countries.
The German Plan
The Release of the German Plan’s have angered the public by and large, showing the true nature of the Communist State. While also building Xavier’s Wall, the German Consulate in Marseille is shut down with all of its staff being expelled from the country.
