Irregulars: The Worker's Fight

Chapter 1-Monday Morning
It was an early May morning and the sleepy rural town of Visok Tvrđava was waking up. Outside one of the town’s kavanas a group of men were hanging out. One of them, Goran shouted out “Hey Boris it’s that pretty school teacher you like, Oliver play her a little tune” as Jelena walked past as Oliver played “If I Didn’t Care” on his accordion and the rest of the men bar Boris singing. Jelena went up to them and asked “What is this song you keep singing? Can you sing it to me in our language maybe?” and Oliver replied “If you can’t speak English then we surely can’t”. After a short pause Jelena called Boris’s name and he turned around to her. “What are you doing, I thought you had gone to work?” Jelena asked and Boris replied “But I am working!” which Jelena replied to laughing “Drinking whole bottles of wine and rakia with Oliver, Goran and Jovan does not count as work” “But I work here now, since the Hungarians destroyed my last place” Boris quickly replied.

Just a mile outside of the town Ezredes Pék of the Royal Hungarian Army was meeting with his top őrnagy. “Bíró have I informed you of the transfer?” asked Pék and Bíró replied “Átvitele?”. “Igen we are moving closer, to help our allies in combat against newly formed partisan movements in Serbia” explained Pék and Bíró nodded his head. “Egy másik dolog őrnagy I want you to go speak to the local fascists tonight, meet them in the Catholic church” said Pék as Bíró left the room.

“This has to be a joke, they’re renaming the town” said Franjo in a toned down anger “Magas Erőd, doesn’t even share anything but the name in another language” laughed Boža. “I suppose it could be worse” Franjo then said sitting down lighting a cigarette “It is worse, they’re teaching children only Hungarian and sticking portraits of the Regent in the school house” responded Boža.
