Biography
Paul Buch was a Nazi Admiral who served in the Navy and during World War III, the Indian Ocean had become a contested site between the Axis and Allies. The Indian Ocean's state of contention soon escalated when Boch's fleet of seven frigates ambushed General Sophia Bernard's group of three destroyers in the ocean, initiating the Battle of the Indian Ocean.

When the cluster of Nazi frigates pelted the trio of French destroyers with heavy firepower, Buch deployed several squadrons of fighter jets to engage the Allies' fighters. Although one of the frigates was destroyed by the destroyers, the Nazis started to gain the advantage by concentrating intense fire on the outnumbered ships; ultimately destroying two of Sophia's destroyers. Before long, Sophia's personal command ship, the Free Sword, lost its main defenses, prompting Buch to order several heavily armed soldiers to board the crippled ship. The soldiers invaded the Free Sword, although another Allied ship, the Revelation, arrived and dispatched an evacuation party led by General Adamson Skateman, aboard several gunships and a cruiser to evacuate Sophia and her crew.

The evacuation party and Sophia's remaining forces were able to eliminate several soldiers aboard the Free Sword, which delayed the battle's outcome as Buch had predicted. Not tolerating the wait, as his forces should have won minutes prior, the admiral ordered his gunners to concentrate all the frigate's fire at the Free Sword, ignoring the fact that hundreds of his men were still on board. The resulting bombardment set the destroyer's inner corridors on fire, which consumed soldiers on both sides alike. However, Adamson, Sophia and the evacuation party were able to escape from the ship aboard the cruiser just before the Free Sword was completely destroyed. When the group tried to board the Revelation, Buch's fighters attacked their cruiser, causing that to also be heavily damaged. This forced the evacuation party to retreat from the battle, turning into a victory for the Nazis over the Indian Ocean.
