==== Second Schlieffen Plan ====
As the plan went, CETO forces would withdraw from Estonia, retreating to a defensive line along the Daugava River in Latvia. This line would be kept until Belarus could siege down Vilnius, at which point CETO would withdraw to a second defensive line along the Polish border. Based on the current rate of the Russian advance, this plan would be able to hold off Russia for the majority of the war. The Eastern Front was to be managed mainly by Poland and Finland. The plan was to hold off long enough for the Russian Federation to collapse. In the meantime Germany, along with most of the CETO forces would launch an offensive into [[France]] propper, with the aim of capturing Paris and knocking [[France]] out of the war like how it was done in World War 2. The plan called for most of CETO's forces to be concentrated in Belgium and with the sheer number advantage they would be able to break through the French line, capitalizing on the French disorganization that would be gained after such an unanticipated successfull offensive and thus continue the blitzkrieg all the way to Paris. Romania, Bulgaria and Albania was to in the meantime overwhelm and defeat the Anarchists of Athens. Considering [[4th Reich|German]] had taken German strategies from both World Wars into account it is possible that this plan might have worked. Nevertheless, [[4th Reich|Germany]]'s plan would never come to fruition as it would be rejected by his allies due to varying reasons.
