By Jakub

The Tectonic Comic of Doom takes place on a world just like Earth except for some conditions that makes it have twice as many earthquakes and volcanoes as Earth. It‘s also run by the Supreme Riech von Jakub which controls the Vereintes Reich von Jakub. The Reich is at war. It‘s at war with the USA because they‘re the only big country that hasn’t yet submitted its power to the Supreme Reich von Jakub and become part of the Vereintes Reich von Jakub but all is good because the Reich is winning. It‘s winning because it has made great advancements on war during earthquakes and have more power in general. They also already have Inuiit* and Kannada*.

*Inuiit is Alaska *Kannada is Canada

The VRJ is closing in on the USA but the war hasn’t been won yet. The VRJ controls almost all of the coast but the USA controls one place in California and the they made the decision to send all their watercraft there. They sent all their watercraft to a port occupied by the USA with 18 US warships inside. These docks and the warships in them are fiercely protected by a nine piece squadron of submarines 24/7. But the USA has a problem. Due to them only controlling their coastline they would have to rely on their seismonitors to detect the shock waves from earthquakes that could spark base destroying tsunamis. They wouldn’t know about a tsunami until it would be too late and the VRJ (Vereintes Reich von Jakub) knows that. So the VRJ sent in spies by the hundreds to steal some ships during a tsunami. The spies would mostly be supposedly Kannadian immigrants who supposedly lost their homes or are fleeing the VRJ although that‘s actually near to impossible due to the sheer amount of soldiers across the border and they‘ll make their way to California.

VRJ

USA

No mans land

The spies would spread out across California and the ports and let more spies in. The principle is that there would be enough VRJ soldiers that they could overpower all the Americans and steal the ships with as few casualties as possible as opposed to pure violence. This way it would be a smooth taking of something that’s worth several billion dollars. Then the time came. The wave was going to be big because the plate under the ocean was a converging plate and the tide was high. So the ships with over half their crews from the VRJ went out just out of range of the waves but that was enough. The Americans were quickly slaughtered and the ships were now going to be part of the VRJ fleet. The reason why the Americans brought all their boats off shore is because a tsunami only forms a few hundred meters away from the shoreline whereas farther out it‘s only a big rolling wave. Tsunamis just like earthquakes have foreshocks but they are far smaller and barely noticeable. That‘s why the Americans were in such a hurry.

As that was happening the VRJ was building a tunnel that was going to go a few kilometres into one of the biggest USA bases. The VRJ was putting spies into American territories like crazy. About one in every ten supposedly all American soldiers was working in secrecy for the VRJ. This tunnel was being built by VRJ spies that was going to put down one of the biggest USA bases was about to be struck by a disaster. What the VRJ and the USA didn’t know about was that the base was on a small crack in the plates which was slowly, century by century coming apart and a diverging plate boundary earthquake was going to make a small yet badly constructed tunnel destroying, earthquake there, and it did. The surviving VRJ soldiers made a memorial for something which never officially happened and made a new tunnel. This one was better constructed but was going to take much much longer.

Within the VRJ they were building the Euro Tunnel that was going to connect the Islands of Britannia (British Isles) to Frankreich (France) but it was going to be a big project as they were using ten tunnel boring machines for extra escape and stabeliser tunnels and those didn’t come cheap or quick. The project was also going to take approximately ten more years until full completion because of the sheer amount of rock that they had to move. But why did they have to make so many tunnels? The reason is earthquakes. Just because most of Europe isn‘t on a plate boundary doesn‘t mean that earthquakes don‘t happen. Every... few hundred years an earthquake happens in Europe and that can have catastrophic results so the SRJ and VRJ architects had to be careful. The convection currents in Europe are as strong as they are in Japan and the only difference is that all of Europe is one tectonic plate. Luckily for everyone building the tunnels all was going fine and was set to be all good.

The VRJ was also building an Japan-China tunnel but unlike the Euro tunnel wasn‘t going as well as they wanted it to. It was because Japan is right beside a converging plate boundary. The plate would cause earthquakes and just because the earthquakes were on the other side of the island doesn‘t mean that the shocks from the earthquake couldn‘t cause damage on the other side of Japan as and on the morning of December the 15th 1968 they found that out the hard way. On that day a tunnel wall had water seeping through it. They fixed it but it showed all the workers the dangers of such a project. The earthquake had also made a 40 foot tall tsunami that had almost whrecked the nuclear power-plants Daichi and Fukushima luckily for those the VRJ had made the walls protecting them from tsunamis fifteen meters higher and the only damages were at the coastal towns and cities which were fixed within a year. The Americans found out about the tsunami in Japan a week later but the SRJ had foreseen that and put in the command to send reinforcements to the Japan.
