Vienna John Collins

**Vienna John Collins**, born in 1803, is an unwavering advocate of monarchy and imperialism. He hails from a deeply rooted, traditionalist family that espoused strong nationalistic values and fervently backed the ideals of Sarvannia's imperialistic movement during that era.

It is widely recognized that Vienna underwent indoctrination, coming to believe in the cause of Imperialism. As early as 1813, his father began instructing him on Imperialist principles and passionately advocated for the justification and merit of the ongoing Imperialist movement. By 1816, Vienna had developed a firm commitment to both nationalism and traditional values. Remarkably, unlike his contemporaries who were typical teenagers with little enthusiasm for the prevailing conflicts, Vienna stood out due to his deep engagement in the contemporary events. During the year 1817, Vienna made attempts to secure employment in different fields, namely as a street sweeper and a blacksmith. Unfortunately, he faced rejection in both endeavors. Subsequently, in 1820, Vienna decided to explore employment opportunities in the Sarvannian military. This was primarily driven by the military's understanably high demand for recruits due to the numerous conflicts taking place during that period.

Vienna successfully secured admission into the Imperial infantry corps at merely 18 years old. As a result, he was promptly assigned to surveil the occupied territories in the Middle East, based on received intelligence indicating potential elevated levels of unrest. According to verified information, this intelligence was indeed accurate, and in 1823, he actively participated in the Sarcan Rebellion, witnessing the unfortunate loss of his comrades as they were shot before his very eyes. Displaying remarkable bravery, Vienna singlehandedly cleared an entire street, taking down several individuals suspected of being rebels. However, subsequent investigations revealed that four of these alleged rebels were actually innocent, contrary to initial claims. In 1825, he was withdrawn from service in the middle eastern campaign and deployed to Tokyo, a Japanese territory, for the purpose of overseeing civil order duties. For a duration of three years, he diligently patrolled the area before being reassigned once again. It has been reported that in Tokyo, he successfully pursued and neutralized an armed faction of cultists, while also actively apprehending multiple anti-unionist organizations. In 1828, following the triumphant invasion of the United States and subsequent partition, Vienna was strategically chosen to serve as the field marshal in charge of overseeing the colonies. Vienna assumed the crucial responsibility of leading the occupation force deployed to quash any potential resistance within the occupied territories. In 1829, a band of rebellious Americans made an ill-fated endeavor to launch an attack on the Global Union barracks. The Imperial infantry corps, however, successfully thwarted this audacious maneuver. In response, Vienna, the commanding authority, decreed the destruction of several American cities and initiated a harsh crackdown on the occupied American territories. Orders were given to sever the limbs of any American displaying anti-union sentiments, resulting in the burning of numerous neighborhoods. Vienna shamelessly justified these actions, expressing no remorse whatsoever, while urging the Americans to relinquish their disloyalty and pledge allegiance to the union.

The occupied territories witnessed several actions taken by the Global Union, involving the thorough cleansing of several American cities. These actions went beyond mere crackdowns in neighborhoods and extended to conducting raids on multiple households. In accordance with Vienna's orders, the Imperial Infantry corps was instructed to interrogate the fathers of these families and subsequently eliminate any individuals displaying an anti-union sentiment. The minor uprising was suppressed as a result of the severe reaction, leading Vienna to instruct the Imperial navy to establish multiple coastal fortifications. The purpose behind this measure was to prevent Americans residing in the occupied regions from evading capture. In compliance with his instructions, the Imperial navy was directed to sink any boat carrying fleeing Americans, disregarding their numbers or occupants.

In 1830, the Imperial Navy encountered a cluster of unarmed boats that appeared to be engaged in American trade, exchanging goods for food. This occurrence took place against the backdrop of inadequate food supplies allocated to individuals residing in the occupied territories. In adherence to Vienna's directives, the Imperial Navy, acting upon orders, initiated an aggressive assault on one of the trading vessels. Regrettably, this resulted in the sinking of the boat, leading to the tragic demise of 63 American traders by drowning. However, this course of action resulted in a significant uprising across different cities in America. In response to this rebellion, Vienna issued an order for the Imperial navy to disrupt the food supply to deter the rebels. Additionally, the Imperial Infantry corps was tasked with removing sick prisoners and immobilizing them in streets occupied by American rebels. These prisoners had smoke blown in their faces, causing them to cough, with the intention of spreading disease among the rebel population in American cities.

The outbreak of the disease resulted in significant losses as it rapidly spread across urban centers. While compliant American citizens in the cities received adequate provisions of food and water, the rebels found themselves at a disadvantage as remote Imperial infantry units targeted the urban areas. Tragically, innocent civilians and American rebels were subjected to gunfire by these sharpshooters in multiple instances.

By 1831, the American pursuit of independence had been effectively thwarted, and Vienna had succeeded in suppressing the majority of non-compliant Americans. This led to significant setbacks for the rebel cause.
