Tsingtao

Title: Tsingtao ~{ Part 2/7 of “Memories of a Great War.” }~ When war began in 1914… you were ecstatic to sign up to fight for your country, the Empire of Japan. Your parents encouraged you to fight… your grandparents encouraged you to fight… hell, even your teacher encouraged you to fight. What they didn’t tell you… was who it was against. When you were aboard some French ship, your commander began having you all board a small, rowboat, with a few others in your boat. The same was seemingly also told of dozens of others, judging by the amount of rowboats in one line. As you and your other fellow Japanese and Anglian sailors head to fight the Empire’s of Germany and Austria-Hungary in Tsingtao, which the French, British, and Japanese have been laying siege on for some time now… you can’t help but feel… scared. You should be proud to do this… happy to do this, even. You were supposed to do this, like a man… like your ancestors have for centuries. You couldn’t help but notice some of your comrades were nervous, as well. You attempted to hide the fact you were scared in the first place. You were successful, but you knew the truth would he unveiled the moment they started firing upon you. P.S. please ignore the voice. Customize yourself however.
