Background
Instability
After the economical recession of 2029 the old World Order was rapidly falling apart. Iran and Syria had recently fell to anachism, America was fighting a guerilla war trying to prevent the same from also happening to Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and Guyana whilst also trying to provide humanitarian aid to the revolution going on in China. Due to these distractions the US had thought it best to leave NATO and withdraw from Europe at least temporarily in order to better take care of the rest of the world, including himself. Him leaving NATO however made a huge dent in the alliance's reputation and many other countries would soon leave it as well, primarily the newly proclaimed rationalist states likes France, Spain and Italy but also isolationist Britain, among other democracies. The remainder of NATO would be renamed to CETO (Central European Treaty Organization) and would be lead by Germany.
Wallonian Uprising
In late 2031 Wallonia would rise up in southern Belgium, attempting to gain independence. After a few months of fighting the rebels accidentally revealed France to be their sponsor. Given this realization and France's over all hostility, Germany decided to activate Article 5 since France was essentially attacking a CETO member.
War
Early Grind
After CETO went to war with France, the Russian Federation was quick to capitalize on the situation and declare war on CETO. Russia began a painfully slow advance into the Baltics and into Georgia while France helped Wallonia manage to secure the rest of southern Belgium before German reinforcements could arrive. Later that year the Anarchists of Athens would once again attempt to rise up in Greece, after having been put down by NATO forces previously back in 2027. As 2032 went on, it would quickly become apparent to everyone that warfare had not changed much since the Ukraine War, and that large scale offensives were subsequently almost impossible to pull off. none of the sides would be able to pull off any significant advances and the war would be a grinding war of attrition, much like the likes of World War 1. And so, on the second of December 2032, Germany would cook up a plan to hopefully win the war in spite of this.
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 German had taken German strategies from both World Wars into account it is possible that this plan might have worked. Nevertheless, Germany's plan would never come to fruition as it would be rejected by his allies due to varying reasons.
