Cape Longstreet Golf Club -- Rockledge, Florida CSA -- 7:30am Eastern Confederate Daylight Time Saturday July 28, 2019
Calculating man lines up a tee shot.
He looks in the distance toward the fairway. A mind calculating trajectories, angles, entry, possible impact point, and the final goal.
Senator Bill Nelson is at home pondering the variables.
A Confederate Air Force pilot in the trade war as a collegian. He flew 23 missions in the Chinese theatre of the conflict. He returned home from a year in country, finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Florida, and then earned a law degree from Vanderbilt as reserve Air Force officer.
He dabbled in politics. Serving a term in the Florida Representative Assembly, but left when he got the call from the Confederate States Aeronautics Administration in 1974. He was in the cosmonaut training class.
He was a part of what was the dubbed, "Charlie Duke's Children". A group of 30 men selected in 1975. The first new crop of official designated cosmonauts since "The Ballsiest Trip in History".
They were a special breed of young mavericks. They were ambitious to move the Confederate States forward.
They were buoyed by dreams, and fueled by a burning desire to move and move fast.
Bill Nelson was among those watching that June day in 1976. They saw when the rest of the Confederacy wasn't allowed to see.
The Godless got to the moon, and the CSA would have the goal of getting what was then-called the "Space Plane" off the ground first.
By the program was stymied by the year that changed the CSA, and changed Bill Nelson.
1977. The Election. The Fallout. The Helms Era.
Nelson did his first space mission in 1980, as a mission specialist conducting calculations of re-entry angles for the designs of the Space Plane
The next year saw the NASA adversary leap ahead again, with the launch of their "Space Plane", the Shuttle Orbiter.
In 1982, the CSA prototype was ready for early-phase test. Being a combat-trained pilot, Nelson was at the control for a number of those tests. Some say he may be the first pilot the flight-ready orbiter.
He was analytical in his approach, methodical. No frills. Just slide rule facts from the slide rule mind. He was seen as a "quiet rival" who blends in, but silently makes an impact.
He was ice, but a space agency, and a government demanded fire.
The fire roared from the engines on May 2, 1987. The Orbiter "Hurricane" screamed the CSA into reusable space flight.
In mission control in Cape Longstreet, a room full of engineers, flight controllers, and cosmonauts cheered as Colonel Bill Elliott, a young daredevil CSAF test pilot took the nation into a new orbit.
Standing up smiling was Bill Nelson.
Nelson his turn in March 1989. Pilot of Hurricane with the largest at the time crew 5 aboard.
Even as a cosmonaut, he still practiced law mainly as a reserve legal officer for the CSA. As colorless as the CSAA perceived him to be, those in the legal craft and his fellow cosmonauts saw different. They saw a person who was smart, persuasive and well-versed is the use of soft power for hard gains.
He also saw the future, and felt that the CSAA could be used for more then the "showpiece" for President Jesse Helms. In his last years in the cosmonaut program, he pushed for a more focused set of goals for the CSAA, including building bridges to NASA's strong united front in space.
Nelson's clear-eyed viewed gained a following in the CSAA along side the growing changes in Confederate society in the 1990s. Nelson left the CSAA Cosmonaut Corps in 1993 planning for a run for the National Representative Assembly in 1995. A lifelong Confederate Whig, Nelson supported the reform-minded campaign of Lamar Alexander in 1995. The reformist wave that changed Confederate politics swept Nelson into three terms in the NRA, in 2001 he was drafted run for the Confederate Senate, defeating anti-reform ConFedDem Senator (now national executive for Industry) Connie Mack III.
His clear-eye pragmatism would be needed in the years ahead. As the 2003 Gingrich Coup greatly disrupted official opposition, Nelson' shrewdness helped steady the Whigs to regroup to be a steady, if loyal , opposition even as the party was perceived to be "go along to get along".
Whereas voices such as Ricky Skaggs, Ray Perkins and Mark Pryor were more firebrand mavericks, Nelson worked as a skilled consensus-builder. A mover-shaker even in opposition. He became the first true minority leader in the rigged game that CSA politics has been since 1947. He mostly worked three issues the most. Electoral reform, workers rights, and the advancement of science and technology. His authoring of the 2006 Aerospace Modernization Authorization was a needed boon to Confederate aviation and space development which led to the new Mark III series orbiters ("Magnolia", "Blessed Savior", "Risen Star", "Savannah"). The Nelson National Electoral Reform Act in 2009, essentially pried the doors open to the most competitive presidential vote in history, and the turmoil therein. His push for a "better deal Confederate working people" was a key piece of the 2011 "Covenant With Labor Act" which liberalized within-house organization of labor and strongly protected skilled Confederate labor against growing Soviet Russian influence.
The aftermath of most bitter election since 1977 it was has raised Nelson's station. His steadfast criticism of the process on all sides won support among the people, including 41 Electors who cast their Electoral College votes on him. But it also drew the ire of Whig party operatives, who felt Nelson cost them an election they could have won constitutionally.
But the last six year saw Senator Nelson building consensus, and continuing to push behind the scenes. He did nothing loudly, but always was definitive. As the calendar races to 2019, Senator Bill Nelson was as smooth and deliberate as his swing.
"That's a good shot, Bill," said Robert Peaston, a classmate of the Senators and a old friend from the Air Force. Both men were still in flight shape and active even in their seventies. Peaston, who owned an aviation firm with ties to the CSAA, was longtime benefactor politically.
The headed up the 4th green on the early morning, a playful orange-yellow Florida Sun not fully risen yet.
"What's going to happen with India?" Peaston asked. "I hear the High Command wants to commitment. They going to send a carrier?"
"Bobby, I hope not," The Senator answered. "Look at Mindanao and Alaska. That plus what we are seeing at home? The last thing we need as another entanglement."
"We're in too many places with too few friends right now," Senator Nelson continued. "We're getting lucky, but luck runs out. All it takes a crisis and that's something I want this Senate to avoid."
"Avoid a chance to expand the Orlando Pact?"
"If India is brought into the Pact, can they work with Beijing? Can we get them working together? China and India have had friction for years," Nelson noted.
"Bill," Peaston asked. "Are you saying you won't authorize a carrier group there."
"A carrier group?" Nelson answered. "Maybe. But too often with the High Command, what starts a carrier group becomes an operations plan. We don't need that right that. We need to let their government sort it out."
Nelson's mind churned for three holes. He thought about the game, but he also was thinking of calculus of India, and the calculus of trade. There was also the growing matter of the Negro National Representative Authority. The school act was passed before the Summer Recess, and now there was the next thing. Giving the blacks the vote. It was something Nelson told the party he'd stand against but he also weighed that equation, and many others.
He hit a birdie at 8, when he was set to say what was really on his mind between the friendly give-and-take on official Atlanta.
"Robert we flew together," Senator Nelson said. "From flight training to Chongqing my friend."
"Hell yes, Billy," his friend replied. Both minds racing back to those days. Those days riding C-8s into patrol...and into battle.
"Oh yes, Senator," Peaston answered. "Those were some days."
"Buddy, those were some days," Nelson said. "But I'm worried about India, and what's going on in the Pacific..and here at home."
"There's too many tightropes we're walking, and Newt Gingrich is listen to people he shouldn't be listening to."
"Even so," Peaston said. "Right now, Gingrich is in a strong spot. The Pact has four new members. The economy is up. Mississippi and Arkansas are quieting."
"Are they?" Nelson asked. "All it takes is another Felicity, or another uprising. We're still living in the 80s. Its a new day, Bobby, and even with this shaky Alliance, that new day means we have to adapt and
consolidate."
"You make sure you tell the Party that at the fall conference," Peaston said. "I'm sure one of the likely for '19 will pick up on it."
"They won't have that chance, Bobby." Senator said.
He looked his friend in the eye. "This is the last great mission for us. The last opportunity to put something together, and I need your help for one last ride."
"What did you have in mind?"
"I'm running for President in 2019."
"You?" Peaston said. "Bill, you are 77. You are stubborn, independent, and some in the party are still smarting from 2013. Why now?"
"Because if we don't, we may not live to see a next chance," he answered. "Plus, I need to correct a mistake."
"I don't follow you," his friend said.
"I opposed the deal in '13 with the reformers because I was concerned if how it would look to cut a deal, instead of the bigger picture."
"I've seen six years of the bigger picture," Nelson said. "And if the Democrats win in 2019, It could be 2003 all over again."
"Where are you getting this from?"
"Why do you think I survived since the coup," the Senator asked. "For now it's better that you don't know that. What you do know is that I'm riding into one last fight. If I win, I serve the term, set the Whigs and our country up for long term peace and success, and I leave."
"You really think you can win?" Peaston asked.
"You asked me before we took off and stopped that Aussie bomber that day."
"Bill, how long have you been planning this?"
"Long enough to know that we have to do it. I've seen the projected field. They can't win Bobby, but I can. More so, we have to."

Glad to see this back and the mentions of India. How strong is the BJP and the Hindutva movement in this OTL?
It's as strong as the OTL, but India's even more fractured ITTL, and there's a greater push against it because of what the BJP and nationalists did to gain power. They joined up with Atlanta, which swayed enough dissident votes in enough key states to swing enough legislature to where India is in a state of at least partial political paralysis.
And there is a cultural factor that goes at least as deep as religion or caste. Much like in our timeline, there is the "emerging India as superpower of tomorrow", but ITTL India's cultural and economic capital has grown to a higher level, and the drivers of that capital are torn between perhaps nationalistic sentiment and hard-earn access to the world market. Indian entertainment is voting with their passports (ex: the sequel to Singham will be filmed in Pakistan and California)
On the business the fact that the mere hint of cutting even a partial deal with Atlanta-backed political forces out of desperation cost India's largest conglomerate a major deal.
There's still a lot of executives at the Tata Group who cringe every time they hear this:

CHAIR RECOGNIZES REP. YARMUTH OF KENTUCKY
YARMUTH: MR. SPEAKER THE REASONING BEHIND THIS LEGISLATION IS EVEN MORE CLEAR NOW THAT IT'S EVER BEEN. AT THIS TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE CONFEDERATE NATION, WE HAVE MOVED TO A GROUND TOWARD THE FUTURE. IF WE RETRENCH ON THE SO-CALLED COVENANT THAT PRESIDENT GINGRICH STARTED TOWARD, THAT WE RISK TOO MUCH OF THE GROUND THAT THIS NATION HAS GAINED IN REGARDS TO BUILDING PEACE AND STABILITY IN THE WORLD. WE'VE ALREADY SHOWN TOO MUCH DOUBLESPEAK TO THE WORLD AS IT IS. WHY SHALL WE CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT SAME DOUBLESPEAK WITHIN OUR COUNTRY?
IN 2019, OUR CITIZENRY SHALL CONSIDER WHO SHALL LEAD IT INTO A NEW DECADE AND A NEW FUTURE. IN THIS PAST DECADE OUR NATION HAS MADE THE GIANT STRIDE OF EXTENDING THE FRUITS OF CONFEDERATE CITIZENSHIP TO A THIRD OF IT'S PEOPLE MAKING UP ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT OF ITS DENIED FOR DECADES. NOW IT IS TIME TO TRULY WELCOME THE GODLY CONFEDERATE COLORED CITIZENRY INTO OUR BOSOM, BY EXTENDING THE FULL RIGHT TO EDUCATION AND A FULL RIGHT TO A FREE VOTE ONLY EVERY OFFICE IN OUR LAND.
IT IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR THE CONFEDERATE FUTURE.

"Some speech yesterday, Representative Yarmouth," Reverend Demond Wilson said as the walked on a chili, but sunny morning. "
"Absolutely," Herman Cain said smiling, "I have to hand it to you son, you won the House, but now can we win the Senate?"
John Yarmouth was confident, "We have the votes to win there, even with the amendments on the voting regs and such, this is bigger than I thought we'd receive. Enough people in the NRA and the Senate are so up in arms about Wilmington in the general strike, that they had to get this done to save face. Even Gingrich can't veto it without a reckoning. It's a reckoning he may have yet."
Rev Wilson looked a little worried about what he just heard. "It's a long way to the elections next year," he said. "We might yet win here, but a lot can happen between now and the elections."
"That is why I asked to meet you both," Yarmouth said. "From the beginning I carried the ball. We stayed together. We kept the faith. Now, I need you."
Rev. Wilson looked at Yarmouth intensely. Herman still had his trademark smile. A smile Yarmouth had seen many times through this last year.
"I take it you have a price," Wilson asked.
"Not a price, rather a lobby for your aid for me," the representative said. "Herman said if I worked through the process, I'd get a 'taste'. My taste is toward making policy at the highest level."
Herman gave Yarmouth a side eye, "Mister Yarmouth, If I didn't know better I'd say you were throwing your hat in the big ring."
Yarmouth let loose a sly smile. "Yes sir, Mister Cain. I'm running for President in 2019, and when this bill passes and President Gingrich signs it, I need you, Herman..and you Reverend...and I need the SCLC."
He looked at them. "The Black vote changes the entire complexion. Pardon the pun."

Wednesday September 13, 2018 -- Confederate Army and Marine begin helicopter strikes against PRSBF blockade position. Weather and determined anti-air defense stymie this move.
"This is 34. We have captured a number of your pilots and marines who attempted to uphold this illegal order to drown my people. We shall hold these men and kill them unless you back away from Wilmington and allow for full evacuation regardless of race.
We hold this city. If you wish to continue Jim Crow policy in the middle of a coming catastrophe, we have no problem seeing all of Wilmington drown together.
I have no problem with this Sacrifice To God For National Salvation."
Thursday September 14, 2018 -- Hurricane Florence reaches landfall at Category 4. Wilmington is deluged under massive waves and over 35 feet rainfall over the next two days.
Coastal North and South Carolina are under Hurricane warning, over 750,000 citizens are without power, many of them stranded across an expanse of flood water. The major TransConfederate highway arteries, TransCon 95, TransCon 40 and TransCon 28 in South Carolina are closed.
Fighting continues in an around Wilmington. Similar clashes are reported in South Carolina in a repeat of of the situation during Hurricane Matthew two years ago.
President Gingrich asks for aid from Orlando Pact allies. Soviet Russian civilian and military aid is emergency dispatched from training deployment in Confederate Guyana.
Friday September 15, 2018 -- Soviet Russian paratroopers are dropped into areas near Wilmington. They meet fierce resistance from Black Fist/Red-White militias. Casualties are higher than expected.
Confederate Whig senator Bill Nelson of Florida says, "The Duke-Franks-Gingrich regime just turned a storm into a new Mississippi"
Saturday September 16, 2018 ---
"This cannot continue. We need to airdrop supplies into Wilmington. We need to move power and fuel there."
"As long as those damn darkie terrorist hold the ground, we can't."

to be continued.....
Thursday September 22, 2018 -- Confederate Air Force bomb Black Fist artillery positions on the perimeter of Wilmington while Confederate Naval Infantry "Forrest Brigades" and Soviet Russian Spetsnaz forces engage in a sea assault on flooded Wilmington Bayfront.
Black fist guerillas held up for 3 additional days before leaving the city, but not before exacting over 1,100 casualties among the combined Orlando Pact forces.
"I'm Comrade Fiona...and I'm here to tell you the truth..
The fascist regimes of the Orlando Pact together have confirmed their cooperative weakness in placing their racist, imperialist aims ahead of doing right in Wilmington.
A city already reeling will also have citizens who's evacuation was put at risk and now thousands have drowned because of the continuing want of the Confederate police state to maintain an archaic system.
First it was the Gulf Coast during Katrina, then it was Aiken, now Wilmington.
Now much more will we lose before see the bankrupt balance sheet of this system?
I'm Comrade Fiona, and that's the truth."

I remember what I iM'd a friend when the rumors of a John Yarmuth Presidential run began gaining steam:
I don't know if I can ever go back there. It's too conservative now, it won't change much even when people of African descent and the white progressives take over. Hearts and minds...still, there'll always be a piece of Kentucky, and of Lou-ah-vull, inside me; I want to hear from all the other candidates, but for now pencil me in to support a Yarmuth presidential run.
OOC: So good to see you back Chip!

Do you guys think Bollywood movies are making inroads in the Confederate States?
No. Why would they? Now if you ask about the rest of North America... @Chipperback ?
Let me expand on Bollywood in the Dear Old Confederacy a bit,
While there is some kind of political relationship between India and the Gingrich Government, that doesn't mean a tidal wave of Bollywood engulfing white Confederate culture. It certainly doesn't guarantee that if it did, that the average white Confederate citizen would accept it.
Any Bollywood movies, TV shows, streaming,music, etc. are going to be tailored to appeal to a white, conservative, Christian southern audience. Whereas if you want a purer Bollywood experience in North America, go west from the Arkansas/LSR border. Or go to Europe.
Now among those "woke"whites and among the African-Confederate population...would Bollywood be attractive to them? Again, we have to ask @Chipperback

Camp Forrest Presidential Retreat -- near Pigeons Forge, Tennessee CSA -- 11:15am December 27, 2018
President Gingrich was on the front porch looking out amongst a gentle flowing river. The winter chill was nippy but not biting. He look beyond the brook west with the late morning sun drenching the lake.
At this moment nothing else mattered. The tense situations in Maine and Alaska. The fights in the NRA and Senate over budget, defense, and the "New Covenant" didn't matter. The critics, and the concerns over "darkie terrorism" didn't matter.
Yet his mind was working. It was churning. He was thinking. He was planning.
"Toby," he said as he heard his de facto Chief of Staff enter, "A beautiful morning."
"Yes it is, Mr. President," Toby McKeehan said. Officially, the entertainment mogul-turned-Atlanta pol known as "TobyMac", was a special assistant to the President. More often he has been the key wheel in Gwinnett Gray House, and a worldwide troubleshooter outside of it. Six years ago McKeehan was called in to help build a reelection against the most competitive field in the history of the Second Confederate Republic.
A slide rule mind and a flair for show business was about to get the call again.
"I'm going to come right out with it," the President said. "One more time. I'm going to run. One more term and prepare the next leader."
He turned to TobyMac, "Again, I want you in on this. I want your opinions. What's the field looking like."
Toby answered, "Sir, I've been doing so much around the world and with the Pact, what makes you think I would know."
"Because you can't help not to keep a finger on the pulse," the President said. "You know more than you let on, so out with it."
McKeehan began to answer. "Obviously, the Whigs had Bill Nelson. He's a threat."
"He has opposition," Gingrich answered. "One of those Burtons will run. I think Ward might. He'll be tough on Nelson."
"There is talk of a protest candidate from South Carolina amongst the Whig or Reformers," McKeehan noted. "I do know in the reformers there's a host of candidates.. Most prominent in my mind could be Carol Browner, former NRA, now Florida Infrastructure Commissioner. Some think she could be governor. And their Senator Yarmouth."
"They won't buy Yarmouth," Gingrich said. "The people who think I'm giving away the store would really hate him."
"What of this rumored 'National Revival Party'?"
Gingrich answered, "What of them? Mike Huckabee can try, but when it comes down to it, without me he'd lose Arkansas, and I can use that. After that there's a bunch of fringe people hootin' and hollerin' like that End Times preacher down in Brazil. "
"You know, many people underestimate me," Gingrich said. "They've forgotten that I created this game. We nearly lost ourselves by going too fast, to far with the wrong emphasis. Today we have my friends in the world than we ever have. We're building influence. We've even managed to integrate yet also hold the moorings that make our society work in place."
The President looked hard at Toby, "We have people that will wreck this if don't make it definite."
"What about a running mate," McKeehan asked. "Waltrip said he's not returning."
"You should know as well as me, Mr. McKeehan," Gingrich said. "Don't you know that I read every single thing you send me? Mr. Speer is thinking of running against us, or maybe taking an overture from these Revival people. Instead, I see the young Senator very much like...Or at least he will be once we teach him how to play the song."
"In meeting Speer I can smell the ambition," McKeehan said.
"You smelled that, too, huh? I can smell all the ambitions, even those in the CSS."
McKeehan was a little taken aback.
The President smiled. "Yes, I know what some in that room think of me, Toby. I see it. But you know what those particular organized crime types up in Damnyankeelands say?"
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, Mr. President," TobyMac said.
"And this is why I'm glad you said 'yes' to me at Daytona 6 years ago, Toby. Now sir, I need you to say 'yes' again."
"Another campaign butting heads with the political pros?" McKeehan sighed."
"No," the President said. "No. This time, you are the pro. You run the show. I want you to manage the campaign. You did the job anyway in '13. I want you from the start. It's your show, and I will follow what you tell me."
McKeehan had the gleam in his eye.
"Sir, I know just how we start."
