Juniper’s Daughter: Frontier Town by Nick Armbrister

   In France not a single town or city remained standing, in revenge for firing several hundred nuclear missiles at England, Wales and Scotland. The tri manned Trident nuclear missile carrying submarines launched almost every weapon at the French. Many French towns and cities were hit by up to three or more weapons, Paris were hit by seven 475 kiloton nuclear warheads. Not even London was hit so badly, it received just a single bomb like Leeds. Due to the size the city the outskirts survived but huge areas were radioactive with fallout. The only people alive in France were country people, not living in the built up areas and radiation covered most of the rural areas so many people left alive were slowly dying from the contamination. It wasn’t a functioning country, it was a destroyed country twice as badly hit as the landmass of Great Britain, a nuclear nightmare that killed and had polluted the oceans and land of many other countries bordering GB and France.

   France had used submarine launched medium range missiles from her four nuclear missiles submarines, only two firing due to the others being sunk by the Royal Navy. French Air Force Mirage 2000N and Rafale nuclear strike fighters carrying Aerospatiale nuclear tipped cruise missiles had hit some cities; Leeds and London were perfect examples of a big bomb on a medium/large size city. The submarine launched missiles each carried six 150-kiloton nuclear warheads with a total of sixteen missiles fired from two French nuclear missile subs giving a total of 192 separate warheads. Each the same size of 150-kilotons. Combined with the big one megaton bombs on the Aerospatiale cruise missiles from the fighters, this was a huge amount of nuclear fire power delivered against cities, towns, harbours, oil refineries, military barracks, bases, ports/harbours, air bases, aircraft factories and dozens more targets in England, Scotland and Wales. The newly independent countries weren’t spared due to alleged sympathies with England. Not a single French sub launched nuclear missile was intercepted and shot down; indeed no defences were in place to shoot down any incoming missile. Out of 32 missiles launched from the two submarines that survived to launch, two failed, one whose solid fuel rocket engine failed to ignite before it fell back into the ocean and the other didn’t achieve the right trajectory, heading off the Atlantic where it splashed down with its warheads still inside the missile. In total 180 French submarines launched warheads hit England, Scotland and Wales; not a single warhead failed due to the superb reliability of the design. Both missiles submarines were hunted down and sunk by the remaining ships of the Royal Navy after firing their weapons. In turn some of the RN ships were sunk by aircraft and missiles from the two French aircraft carriers; these being engaged by the two carriers of the Royal Navy in a bitter no holds air to sea battle. All four aircraft carriers were sunk along with three quarters of the supporting destroyers and submarines; nothing survived this mini Armageddon in the North Sea, Channel, Atlantic and Mediterranean by the powerful navies of England and France. Of the French air launched cruise missiles several were shot down by RAF Typhoon fighters after launch, not an easy job considering the missiles was a small fast stealthy target that flew at low altitude. Many French Mirage and Rafale nuclear strike fighters were shot down before launch, picked up by RAF AWACS radar planes as they took off from their bases and headed low to try and hide under the radar. Fifteen one-megaton Aerospatiale cruise missiles hit towns, cities and other targets killing millions of people, one was targeted at Oldham and the aeroplane factory there but the strike fighter carrying the missile was shot down before it could launch, saving the town. No French airbases or aircraft carriers remained for any surviving Mirage 2000N or Rafale to return to, the crews flew until they ran out of fuel and crashed, ejected or landed in other countries to have their fighter planes impounded and pilots interned.

   The Royal Navy, England’s senior service, defended England and also Wales and Scotland. With superior submarines and better missiles and more aggressive tactics, each submarine launched its Trident D5 nuclear missiles at France hitting towns, cities, airbases, factories and everything else that made France a 21st Century nation. A total of 64 missiles were launched at targets in France, one missiles failed to ignite its seconds stage and it fell back into the ocean along with its eight warheads, the remaining missiles each carried eight four hundred and seventy five kiloton nuclear warheads – a total of 504. Every one of these detonated at a French target totally wiping France off the map, seven bombs in revenge hit Paris for the single hit on London. After the war? People left alive suffered slow deaths from radiation or blast injuries; just a few small towns remained in France with shell-shocked inhabitants.
   In the landmass of Great Britain roughly half of the large towns and cities had been hit and destroyed with casualties of up to one hundred percent, London suffered greatly and much of the outskirts were untouched but suffered bad fallout. Three quarters of military bases were hit, the civil war hit the British Army badly with units in Wales and Scotland belonging to the new nations, so the already depleted English army was down to just twenty thousand men, a few heavy vehicles and helicopters and the few RN missiles and warheads that weren’t on the lost subs now passing to the army, after the nuclear exchange. The Royal Air Force was wiped out losing every single airbase; the dozen fighter planes that survived the air battles intact either force landed on open roads and motorways or flew to Germany or Spain. There they remained with the crews being interned like the French planes that survived this hideous little war.
