Due to the fact that Hill Ville ahs tried to kill our Prime minister and they refuse to pay repartitions, Celack is now blockading all ports of Hill ville. No ship is to get through. Any ship that tries to run the blockade will have their goods confiscated by Celack and their crews will be locked up.

Agua Puro Intel has recently investigated the Celack-Hill Ville conflict, and the Foreign Ministry has this statement to offer:

We find that the retaliation against Hill Ville is unprovoked and unnecessary. The assassin was an exile of Hill Ville, and it would not be without precedent if his mission, to gain readmission, was not endorsed by the Hill Ville government.

Agua Puro will support Hill Ville in this affair, for now by wiring $12,000,000 USD for defense purposes. No comment considering military involvement in this matter.

we the goverment of Hill Ville accept your gracious offer of the money. We will spend it towards driving out these evil people who are blockading our country.

Day 1 of blockade
22/11/08
20 Km north of Rhappala (Hill Ville's buisiest port)

The third battle group arrived north of Rhappala. The sonar had earlier show that Hill Ville had assembled a small force to defend the port.

"sir three destroyers and a battleship are defending Rhappala's harbour."

"prepare the bombers. Get ready to fire when in range."

"Sir. The celackian fleet has arrived and is launching an assault. Bombers have taken off the decks of their 3 aircraft carriers. Orders sir?"

"Get the helicopters off the ground and prepare to engage. get the chainguns working. Long live the king!"

"Long live the King!"

Three fighters who were disguised as bombers provided the escort for the 33 bombers. They flew in formation. Three helicopters rose from the Hill villeian friagtes. The fighters incognito fired rockets at the hleicopters. One of the helicopter was hti and explode but the other tow shot down the missles. The helicopters tunrned on the bombers and let loose their rockets.

OOC:Celack remember if you need any help just give me a shout.

good after I applied the lotion.

Official Message from Assistant Sub-Chief of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Dave Mango to Offending Government of INSERT NAME HERE

"The Glorious Socialistic Empire of Amerigo has looked into this affair. Should the nation of Hill Ville take any aggressive action toward the instituted blackade, the Amerigan administration will support its formal ally Celack.

The Empire adivses that the nation pay reparations to the government of Celack while the current state of matters has not taken a turn for violence."

" We shall not pay for someone doing his duty"

King Grofthir.

-----------------------------------------
The two helicopter started launching missles at the bombers. Many bombers were hit and exploded. The fighter started luanching missles of their own. A helicopter pilot looked outside his window and saw the incomming missle. It hit him dead on a blew him out of the sky. The remaining bombers and fighters started shooting their cannons at teh last helicopter. Several holes were punched through th body of the helicopter. The pilot was killed by machine gun fire and the helo copter started to spin until it hit the ocean blowing up. The bombers started dropping bombs when the chainguns aboard the deck of the frigates opened fire on the bombers. A message were sent to the bombers to withdraw


o.o.c if anybody accuses me of GODMODD read what region i'm in.

3 battleships, 9 destroyers, and 5 frigates pulled away from the attack group to engage the enemy forces.

"Sir enem vessles will be in range within 10 minutes"

o.o.c. warning long post. the next will be very long as well.

i.c.
The Celackian ships moved towards the Hill Ville fleet. The guns has been loaded, the plans made, the men ready. The battleships, CNV firestorm, CNV dragon, and CNV Titan, would fire upon the enemy battleship with their long range guns. Their plan was to draw the battleship out form it's escort of frigates and have the smaller, faster Celackian ships tear it to shreds and sink it. They would then take on each enemy destroyer on by one. This was the best plan they had that would minimize casualties, but if the battleship did not come out the casualty rate would skyrocket because they be forced to go in guns blazing.

Captain Williams of the Firestorm looked out the window on the bridge. He was chosen to lead the fleet into battle. That made him an acting admiral. He felt he had deserved it. A naval veteran of the last CapApian war of expansion. He was a lieutenant aboard a frigate when the bridge was destroyed. He took control and led the frigate to victory over two heavily armed enemy cruisers.

Williams was unsure of his plan. He hoped it would worked and he had hesitated to leave the aircraft carriers and supply vessels alone except for a handful of cruisers for their defenses. They would have to do but a serious enemy attack on them would end the blockade prematurely.

One long range cannon roared as it launched it's shell. It landed off the starboard bow of the Hill Ville battleship. The next landed to starboard of the bridge. The next splashed off the port bow. However the next three hit their target dead on. The long range guns were first hit ripping great gouts in the battleship and creating several small fires. The next shell landed next to the bridge taking out, instead, the communication antenna. Th scene on the bridge was chaotic.

“Sir, fires on decks 5,6, and 7. Casualties at this time are 15 dead, 36 wounded. Long range guns are down. Ship to ship guns however are still on-line. The enemy appears to be reloading.”

“Move SWS 196 degrees towards the bear. Prepare to engage enemy forces.”

“yes sir”

The battleship started moving very fast towards the bear. The captain of the bear was confused by the maneuver and tried to hail the Hill Ville battleship by radio but got no response. A man walked onto the deck of the battleship with two flags. He started to wave them.

“He's using king Jarhum semaphore. He says “ damaged, enemy shots, radio down” What does it mean?”

“Sir I believe he was saying that the enemy fired upon them and took out their radio”

Just call if you want help. Our fleet is standing by.

President Sarah Mczuno's office 17.00

Tom Nasda, the assistant of military Affairs to the President, enters the Presidents office.

Nasda: "Miss President?"

Oddly enough the President wasn't in her office. What had happen to her? Had she already heard the news?

Nasda walks over to the table and picks up a note and dials the number on the note on the phone.

Nasda: "General Alera?"

General Miska Alera had just return home after a long day at work.

General Alera: "Yes, who is this?"
Nasda: "I am Captain Nasda, assistant to the President."
General Alera: "What do you want? Do du have any idea what time it is?
Nasda: "I am sorry, but I need to know where the President is."
General Alera: "The President? Why?"
Nasda: "It seems the conflict between Celack and Hill Ville has developed into a blockade and I need the Presidents approvel to get agents to the area."
General Alera: "Hell of a time to find out of that and I am going to miss Prime Minister Alhim's first appearence on Tv for this. You know what I think, you should contact the vice-President and get her approvel."
Nasda: "I will do that, goodbye General."
General Alera: "Goodbye Captain."

General Alera turns on the Tv to see Prime Minister Misty Alhim's speech to the nation.

PM Alhim: "I have just been informed by the President, to offer our support to Celack. Celack is our ally and we will sent military aid if the need arises. Oh, yes. While I remember it the President is out inspecting the new satelite communication system, so it will take a while before she returns to Galmore. May peace arise again!"

o.o.c. I'm going to wrap this thread and the subsequent ones up while the forums are barren. I have my reasons.


i.c.
The HV battleship pulled along side the bear.

“Sir we managed to rig up an antenna. It can only reach the bear thought.”

“It will have to do. Hail them”

“This is the Bear. What are you doing?”

“We came under attack. We are moving out of the line of fire. We will get attacked here. Can you send out a message to the other ships to retreat?”

“But why sir?”

“We are out gunned, out manned and out powered. Our mission was to delay and/or harass them. We have done the first If we survive, we can do several hit and run attacks, while waiting for further orders. If we go out in a blaze of glory we will have failed our king and country. Retreat in this case is not cowardice but intelligence and duty. We will be more destructive not here but elsewhere. We must retreat for everything we hold dear. Now do you understand why we must retreat?”

“Yes I shall broadcast the message.”

meanwhile


“Sir, the missile is armed and locked on the target.”

“Good. On my mark fire.”

“Sir the Cap- Admiral told us to engage the battleship directly.”

“Yes, but this way we will severely damage them and possible sink them. It will save many lives.”

“Sir it appears that they are trying to retreat.”

“Fire.”
On the deck on one of the Celackian destroyers a hole opened up. A missile started rising out of it. When the nose cone was out of the hole and the deck was clear it took off. It streaked through the air and hit the HV battleship.

The missile burrowed through several decks before it exploded in the torpedo room. The blast was powerful enough to gut out the interior of the ship and punch a hole in the side of the ship, under the water line. The water rushed through causing and an imbalance and thereby caused the battleship to capsize. The cry over the P.A. As frantic

“Abandon ship! Repeat abandon ship! We are sinking! Abandon ship!”

Many jumped overboard or into the lifeboats. None survived. The fleet had already left.

“Sir! It's the admiral. He wants to speak to you.”

“Admiral sir. May I ask why you called?”

“The unauthorized missile launch. Would you care to explain that?”

“Yes sir. I did it to sink the battleship because they were retreating.”

“So even though the enemy was retreating, you saw fit to waste ammunition to engage a ship that posed no further threat because they were retreating?”

“With all due respect sir, it did still pose further threat because it was more than likely that the battleship and it's three destroyer friends would preform hit and run operations on our fleet. By taking out they're greatest asset I believe that I have minimized the damage their strikes can do and we will probably be able to destroy them with ease the next time we meet.”

Day 5 of blockade
27/11/08
50 KM West-South-West of Rhappala


The frigate Indefatigable lay in position blockading the fishing town of Krakreyo cove. It was the one that had sunk the battleship and yet it was still only placed at an unimportant location for the reason that the missile launch was not authorized before it was launched. The bridge was filled with a sleep calm until the sonar officer looked at his screen. He sprang into action.

“Sir we have multiple enemy vessels to starboard. From the look of it there seems to be three.”

“I'll be there soon.”

The captain arrived at the bridge a short time later. He grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked through them.

“Looks like our old friends”

“Sir?”

“The destroyers from a couple days ago. We'll need back-up”

“Already called for. ETA 20 minutes.”

“Enemy ETA?”

“5 minutes sir.”

“We'll just have to hold out for 15 minutes. Is it possible to fire a missile?”

“It will take to long to be accurate and there is a very good chance that it would be shot down.”

“Load the cannons then and get everyone ready.”

Meanwhile

Jay Daroch stood on the deck looking through the NVG at the departing fleet. He was a colonel in his Majesty's loyal rangers, which was the official name for the commando division of the army. Daroch was one of the highest ranked active members. In the past few months he had planned the entire operation with the king. The next phase was about to begin. He just needed to wait for five minutes. He climbed into his yacht and prepared to set sail. He checked at the helm and found O'erthé there. He grabbed the flare gun and prepared to start phase 3.

bumpy while I type next part.

“Sir they're in range.”

“Fire at the closest one and go full reverse. Keep out guns trained on them and firing.”

The four cannon shouted on the Indefatigable, launching four shells into night. Most missed but one, which hit the bear. Damage crews started to contain the damage. The Indefatigable started to move backwards very fast causing the enemy shells to miss.

“Sir we should meet reinforcements several minutes early.”

“keep the course. If they get in range fire. Repeat we are weapons free.”



Daroch looked at his watch. It was time. He crouched at the bow of the yacht and aimed the flare gun upwards. O'erthé was at the helm ready to launch the yacht. The next couple minutes would be very tense and dangerous. He pulled the trigger and launched the flare in the air and landed in the water visible from anywhere in the harbour. Around 30 container ships started to move to the mouth of the harbour which was guarded by an aircraft carrier and two frigates.



“Attention civilian ships. Come to a stop and allow yourself to be boarded or we will fire upon you. Repeat stop or we will fire.”

The fleet of ships kept moving. 30 seconds had passed after the warning call was given, a shell splashed down near a container ship. Another call came across the radio.

“That was a warning shot. If you do not stop the next shot will be more accurate. Stop now or be sunk.”

The ships kept moving. Daroch muttered under his breath

“Just three more minutes. Just 3 more minutes”


The guns roared and the shells splashed in the water. The silence of the night was long gone. The ships moved fast. Too fast to be hit by the hastily fired shots.

“Sir we should run into reinforcements soon. We managed to acquire a missile lock on the lead vessel though.”

“Possibility that they will shoot it down before it hits the target?”

“83% However if there is some kind of distraction the chance drops significantly.”

“a distraction eh?”

The captain paused in thought for a moment.

“How long until reinforcements arrive?”

“Three minutes sir.”

The captain started out into the black ocean, the only lights seen were on the decks and on the shore. The darkness seemed to envelop everything hiding it from view. A large boom drew the captain out of his pondering. He had to stop doing that.

“When the reinforcements arrive and start firing, launch the missile.”

“yes sir”

Meanwhile.

The fleet kept moving. The wreckage of one of the container ships was slowly sinking. Daroch though about the dead. 150 men were gone. It mattered not. There was still enough. The yachts and about half the container ships were safe and heading out to sea. They would wait for the rest of the group and the rendevouze and then head out war

The captain stood screaming into the phone to the engine room.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEAD?”

“The engines are DEAD we are DEAD in the water.”

“We soon all be DEAD if you don't get them working!”

“sir it will take an hour to fix.”

The captain stared at the three incoming destroyers. The three harbingers of doom. Three fates all here. Atropos was to cut his thread and Lachess to put his in the tapestry of the ages. He closed his eyes. He didn't want to see his men die. He heard several cannons roar and then silence.

being dead is so peaceful

“Sir you may want to open your eyes and look at this.” The sonar officer suggested.

The captain walked over to the sonar operator and looked at his screen. There were several blips behind the Indefatigable. Three small blips in front of them were retreating.

“Reinforcements! Fire cannons and eagle. Open a channel to a battleship. Report to it the damages we have received and that we might need to be towed back.”

“Roger sir.”

OOC: Celack, in case you need any help at all just tell me in this thread, I will bring my fleet in to aid you against these murderors.

o.o.c. don't need it yet. Cocnlusion will be psoted soon. they ahven'y really murdered anyone yet....

OCC: Is this future or modern tech?

modern as of now.

The deck on the Indefatigable opened up. A small cone was seen briefly follow by a cylinder and then a jet of flame. The missile arched through the air. The Bear however was ready. The guns of the deck opened fire and blew the missile out of the air. However the celebration on the Bear was short lived as shells hit the deck ripping holes in the body of the ship. It started to sink but that fact was irrelevent to the gunners of the fleet who kept firing on the Bear. It was reduced to a mass of crushed metal which sank to the bottom of the sea.

Meanwhile.

The remaining yachts and container ships started to leave for their missions. Out of the 30 original container ships only 25 remained. The ships started up their engines and headed out to sea.
