Tetrad the gang of four spy game
Kanta sees the gang flying in on their rockets, and he has trouble fighting them. The Edogawa Gang encircles him and throw a few grenades around him, causing Kanta to quickly think and flee the village. The Edogawa Gang secures the village and coerces the chief to give control of the village to the gang of thieves and make his daughter the wife of the leader.
Before the chief can agree to anything, a villager informs everyone that the water well has been rigged with a bomb, and they find out Desert Punk will blow up the well if the Edogawa Gang tries to kill him or take the village.
This makes the chief furious and begs the gang to stop Kanta from blowing up the well. Desert Punk is mad at this, and he lures the Edogawa Gang into the southern skeleton city in which he thought they exit from and ambush the town. Kanta flies around using his rocket winch and eventually renders the gang's jetpacks useless, but they bring him down on the ground as well.
Kanta holds onto the detonator for the well bomb, and the Edogawa Gang says that they will let Desert Punk go if he gives them the detonator. Kanta refuses and presses the button, which sets off multiple bombs in the buildings of the skeleton city, injuring the gang members with debris. They attempt to kill Kanta and only fragment his sunshade, and he successfully knocks the gang unconscious, telling the villagers they can sell the four gang members to the authorities.

He became one of the earliest members of the NSDAP's reformist faction but distanced himself from Speer when Speer tried to appeal to students and liberals. Community Showcase More. Follow TV Tropes.

Bait-and-Switch : Germany has a large opening focus tree with lots of foreign and local focuses, but only the first focus in this tree can be taken since it is forcibly swapped after Hitler is attacked by an assassin and has to name a successor.
Big First Choice : Early in the game, a player-controlled Germany has to choose a contender to play as during the civil war and subsequently after the civil war is won. Civil War : Hitler feared that one would occur if he harshly punished Himmler due to the fanaticism of the SS and its role in the Reich. He sought to prevent this by creating the Order-State of Burgundy.
Germany collapses into one once Hitler announces his successor and dies. Rather than accept the choice, every faction splits into their own territory and begins gunning for the position, and it has the chance to devolve with more potential successors and enemies if it is not resolved sooner. Doubles as an Enemy Civil War if the player is not doing a Germany playthrough.
It turns out that damming and draining the Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic does not give more living space and fertile farmland, but instead an artificial desert from the unusable salt-filled landscape of a former seabed. Italian ports also suffered from the lowered sea level. This soured relations with Italy tremendously. Dress-Coded for Your Convenience : Each of the potential successors are depicted in clothes that reflect their faction's beliefs.
Speer, the ambitious reformist, wears a black civilian suit. In the 70s, he will switch to a brown NSDAP uniform and cap if he retains power but continues wearing his suit if he becomes a puppet.
Bormann keeps his brown Nazi uniform, signifying his adherence to traditional Nazism. Dropped a Bridge on Him : Not all of Hitler's inner circle have made it to According to the developers, this was done because it's implausible that every prominent Nazi could survive until It's not even like the existential problems facing the Reich are that far-fetched, as the German war effort in real life was badly kneecapped by the same kind of extensive corruption and wastefulness.
Had the Reich somehow survived in real life, it probably would have faced similar dilemmas to what's depicted here. By , Germany is one of the dominant world powers, controlling large swathes of land in Europe and Africa.
After the German Civil War ends, Germany proper might also come into conflict with the Reichskommissariate, depending on who came into power after the eruption of the German Civil War. Enemy Mine : Should Reinhard Heydrich be doing too well in the German Civil War, the three other contenders will put aside their differences and join forces in an Anti-Heydrich Pact, which quickly falls apart once Heydrich is defeated. They are completely bewildered at the insane ideology of the Aryan Brotherhood , hardly reciprocating the same respect the Brotherhood has for them.
Fascist, but Inefficient : Germany's economic, social, and military problems have created a nearly failed state by the s, held together only by strict repression. An inevitable civil war results, which need not be the end of the crisis should the victor not attempt useful reforms, though reformist paths will be extremely difficult.
Final Solution : The Holocaust has continued unabated, and Jews, Roma, the disabled and other 'undesirables' continue to be actively exterminated.
However, Generalplan Ost and associated plans did not pan out due to their economic and logistical impossibility. Foil : The Einheitspakt shares and contrasts traits with the Organization of Free Nations and the Empire of Imperial Japan, other collective bodies of several nations.
They contrast with Japanese establishment and the public at large sincerely believing that the Empire liberated the oppressed peoples of former colonies across Asia, and they become surprised when their colonies begin to revolt against their rule. The Nazis have no regrets for establishing their crushing reign, but they can acknowledge that their Reichskommissariats and territory will face trouble if reform isn't applied soon.
The OFN seeks to curb the power and influence of the Einheitspakt, ideologically democratic and vowing to keep fascism at bay, but they have done some very questionable actions in the name of defending democracy, though it may never compare with the industrialized horror of the Nazis. Though the OFN starts as effectively an extension of American hegemony, they also has an equal chance of becoming The Federation. The Einheitspakt starts out Fascist, but Inefficient , making Germany forced to address its flaws even if their new policies will strip the defining features of Nazism away.
While the OFN was made to stop fascist spheres yet has the potential to simply be a glorified American replacement , the Einheitspakt was established to keep fascist spheres but has the capability to reform under the likes of Speer and the Gang of Four.
Hoist by His Own Petard : Germany's desire to see through the Atlantropa project and reshape Europe destroyed them; their Mediterranean allies left the Axis, and their own economy crashed due to the expenses spent on Atlantropa, which led to massively increased internal dissent that eventually culminates in the German Civil War.
Pyrrhic Victory : Germany ultimately won the West Russian War, but the war caused the German economy to further go down the gutter, caused a crisis in the SS that led to Himmler creating Burgundy and going rogue, and greatly increased unrest within Germany. The war dealt such massive damage that the German Civil War can be directly attributed to it. Regime Change : One of the first things that both Speer and Bormann do after they win the Civil War is reintegrating the former Pakt members, especially its Reichskommissariate which will usually fall to coups, revolutions, or civil wars , back into the Pakt.
If the reintegration happens by coups or invasions, Germany will usually install a new German friendly government in these countries. Slave Race : After learning the hard way that genocide operations like the Holocaust and Generalplan Ost were massively unprofitable, Nazi Germany converted them into slavery programs to prop up the failing German economy. By , most of the Untermenschen are enslaved instead of being exterminated, and slavery forms a massive component of the German economy, with a counter in Speer's menu saying that over 38 million people are enslaved following the end of the GCW.
Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil : Their economy is fueled by slave labor, whose ranks are made from those that the Nazis consider subhuman, an idea proposed by Speer after the German economy crashed and the Final Solution turned out to be impractical. Speer's path will eventually have to face a growing resistance movement that seeks their liberation.
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome : The glory days of military conquest in World War II have long since ended and Germany has now stagnated, with economic problems growing out of their moribund slave system and widespread corruption infecting nearly their entire colonial empire. State Sec : Though most of the SS has been kicked to Burgundy after Himmler's attempted coup, a large section of the SS has remained in Germany, now under Reinhard Heydrich's command, and are still fanatically loyal to Himmler and his ideals despite everything.
Succession Crisis : Even though Hitler will name a successor before his death, the factional division in the Nazi Party has reached such an extent that a succession crisis immediately begins after Hitler dies, instantly collapsing Germany into a civil war.
Vestigial Empire : Germany may be the world's most powerful country, but this belies the severe issues crippling the Reich. Its economy is stagnant, its military is growing increasingly incompetent, its politics are fractious and factional, and the farthest reaches of the Nazi empire are gradually slipping from Germania's grasp. The only thing keeping Germany together is an old, senile Adolf Hitler.
When he dies, the German sphere collapses upon itself. Won the War, Lost the Peace : Germany's backstory could be summed up like this as while Germany won the Second World War, things will be crashing down in a violent civil war, and the country is in the middle of an economic collapse.
Adolf Hitler. A man of humble beginnings, the son of Austrian Innkeepers, he was educated in Munich and Vienna and served with distinction with the German Army during the First World War. His rise to power was meteoric, none can deny, and even failed attempts like the Beer Hall Putsch served only to further his ambitions.
His combination of violence and showmanship drove the communists and democrats out of the Reichstag and placed him into its highest office. Under his leadership, Germany broke the chains of the Versailles Treaty, developed a terrifying new military, and forced the other nations of Europe to their knees until the Swastika flew over all of Europe, from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea.
Under his guidance, the Reich built such wonders as Atlantropa and Germania, and under his watchful eye, the Undesirables of Europe were viciously exterminated and fed to the flames. But the lord and master of all Germany, of all Europe between the Urals and the Pyrenees, has grown old.
Where his voice could once command a crowd's rapt attention there is now only quiet rasping, and a cold calculating mind of steel has gone to rust. The hands that penned Mein Kampf constantly tremble now, as he adds the final touches to a watercolor of those long-dead faces slipping from his memory.
The greatest conqueror the world has ever known since Alexander and Napoleon is an old and frail man. In , he is 73 years of age, and some dare to whisper that he is not long for this world. Albert Speer. Ideology: Reformed National Socialism note Fascism. It was Adolf Hitler's calm and collected speech given during a rally in Berlin that intoxicated the young architect, leading him to join the Party the year after.
What started as a favor to a fellow member became a recommendation to Joseph Goebbels; the recommendation became a commission to renovate the local NSDAP headquarters. Hitler became a passionate admirer of his vision, and together they drafted plans of a new Germany. No matter the cost of life, the dream of a new Germany had been realized.
Reputation is rarely truth - but he made sure that everyone knew of his. It was in the midst of Germania's construction that the economy crashed, and his lofty dreams with it. Pinning the blame was easy. Slavery, the very system Speer created to win the war, doomed Germany in peace.
It was an unprecedented disaster - one that Speer could not ignore. The Reich and Volk deserved greatness. His dreams deserved reality. Reform was necessary. Years of open criticism of NSDAP policy followed, and he soon found himself somewhere unexpected once again: as the figurehead of the largest reform movement Germany had seen in decades.
Speer's ambitious goals and reputation as a dissenter enveloped countless of young dreamers and old rivals around him in a political maelstrom unlike any other.
And as he now walks this perilous tightrope he crafted, he balances not only his own future but also that of the Reich.
He was not the side-character who pulled Germany out of failure when it sunk to its depths before he took the reins. No longer was Albert Speer the political webspinner and silver tongue that got a loose alliance of vaguely-loyal liberals and yesmen to back him as he spun an image of being a reformist force.
Albert Speer was no longer the "good" National Socialist. Now he stands as the representation of a new National Socialism, fit to serve the modern era, and the modern man.
The fruitless endeavors of the past NSDAP - the need to exterminate the East, to turn Germany into the ultimate pariah state, to close it off utterly and let it wallow in bitter autarky. None of those policies belonged in his vision of a new Reich. His Einheitspakt and his Zollverein would be a well-oiled machine, propagating German domination not through wasteful pits of death that would only antagonize its colonies, but instead through a showcase of cultural, moral, economic and military supremacy.
As Germany soars with a bureaucracy purified of degenerate liberals and bloodthirsty hardliners, Albert Speer finds himself at the top as the architect unmatched. Hitler may have set the grounds for Germany's wings to fly high, but Speer will make sure that it will fly victorious. It has failed all of the challenges it has met, and it is now doomed to extinction Albert Speer finds himself with daggers pointed everywhere around him, but he knows that it is the NSDAP that has ruined him; the liberals that have degraded the moral fiber of German society; the wretched Gang undermining him every step of the way.
How he ever could have trusted those three; Tresckow, Erhard, and most especially Schmidt - it was beyond him. If only he had played his cards better. As the future begins to leave the architect behind, and his vision yet fades while the NSDAP falls apart, a new path has opened up, promising many things, though nobody can say for sure what it will contain.
As countless Germans still march against National Socialism, they demand something robbed from them half a century ago. Something Speer is deathly afraid will crush Hitler's dream now and forevermore. The calls for elections, for the abolishment of permanent posts, the rallying call of what was once a delusion, now rapidly approaching reality Albert Speer has failed. Or so it may seem. How foolish they are. Of course, he never was committed to most of what he had said, merely words spoken to rile up his base and strengthen his support.
Yet Albert Speer overestimated his prowess, and underestimated the hardliners. What fate awaited him at the hands of the Gang of Four was now merely a passing thought. His image as the 'reformer' of the Reich has dissolved, and all the remains is a man whose vision has been stomped underfoot by the degeneration of National Socialist ideology. There are no more days where Albert Speer can smile and think to himself that he is building a new Reich, for the new German man.
Now he follows orders and attempts to slow the grinding crusher that will tear his ideology into pieces. He cannot imagine that Adolf Hitler would look at him and consider his achievements worthy of respect. Not anymore. Martin Bormann. In-Game Biography Click to Show Nazism has always relied primarily on two things: nationalistic sympathies towards one's own nation, and a central strongman smart enough to trample his enemies in the political game and sway the masses.
In doing so; Bormann has honed in on the nationalistic sentiments of the population to convince them that he is the only man in the Reich able to keep them safe and their nation secure. Often calling himself the 'Second Hitler' to cheering masses as he fed them exactly what they wanted. The political arena has proven to be less of a battlefield and more of a shooting gallery to Bormann as well. While Bormann oft paints himself as an anti-intellectual and a simpler man to the masses, in the Reichstag he has proven himself to be a fierce negotiator, power player and deceiver to many.
While Germany is divided between himself and the others who dared fight him, the Reichstag has always been firmly under his boot. Truly, if politics could win wars, then Bormann would have long ago conquered the world.
His opponents are dead. The institutions that threatened his rule have been annihilated. Bormann is Germany, and Germany is Bormann. Yet the clockwork of the bureaucratic apparatus grows rusty and stiff. His Party comrades gaze at him not with respect or love, but pure fear. Mass protests, violent riots and deadly terrorist attacks have seized the nation and refused to let go.
Bormann: "I've made up my mind. A Thousand Years is not enough. A Thousand Years will never be enough. Bormann: What the fuck do you think? Tell High Command to get their shit together and put those fucking Poles in the dirt!
It's bad news, I'm afraid. You have terminal lung cancer. At most, I would give you two years left to live. I'm sorry, my Fuhrer. Ideology: Stratocratic Nazism note National Socialism. Reinhard Heydrich.
