DP08: The Windmill sentry

thabo

In the year 1600, the Dutch merchant ship 'De Liefde' shipwrecked on the Japanese island of Kyushu. This was the start of the Japanese-Dutch connection. But this is just the official story. The ship never wrecked by accident. The Dutch did make port. On Kyushu the Emperors' Royal Guard was losing the battle against a rebel group. They were frantically trying to repair their wooden mech-warriors, but they were lacking spare parts. The Dutch bravely helped by providing the parts needed through means of disassembling their ship.

Thanks to their aid, the rebels were defeated and Japan donated their mech-warrior technology to the Dutch as a gift. In 1620 they arrived home with silk, blueprints and an uplift spirit in the port of Rotterdam. Soon the secret society of the 'Nederlandsche Molenwachters', or Windmill Sentries were deployed all over the country. To prevent national panic, and to honor the Japanese request to keep it a secret, a new transforming technology was used and the sentries were disguised as windmills.

Unfortunately, spies from the Spanish King Filip the Second discovered the secret technology, and not soon after, the Spanish army tried to defeat the Dutch Sentries on order to obtain the technology. They tried for 80 years, but they failed. The Sentries kept serving our great nation, and in the First World War they withstood the German Army, resulting in the Netherlands remaining neutral in the War that ended all wars.

However, the Japanese technology was, of course, superior to the Dutch at all times, and because of the Japan-Germany axis in the second world war, the sentries were defeated and the records destroyed.
