Galdanian anti-missile systems...

...launched countermeasures to ensure that the Tomahawks were brought down. 16 of the tomahawks got through, hitting AA and SAM sites, along with a barracks and a movie theatre.

In response, Jackals and Blue Valkyries secured the skies, while
twenty-four cruise missiles were returned to Tarasaki and the Eredronian navy.

33 boats, including 12 subs, cruised over to Tarasaki, while crusie missiles covered their advance.
Galdanian artillery and tanks were situated in Takahido, and cruise missiles aimed at them ended up hitting civilian targets as well.

120 Tanks crawled through the western jungle, passing the monastary, hoping to surprise the Eredronians...


"Fat Man in A Dress. Fat Man in A Dress. Opening the Lid. Time IV Date XC.

Double post. :oops:

What city is Takamoto? And where is Yakashima on the map?

Fifteen Virginia-class Attack Submarines silently moved to sink the incoming Galdanian ships, accompanied by 8 Los Angeles-class Submarines, as the AA and SAM defenses of the city and surface ships fought to bring down as many of the cruise missiles as possible

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/nssn-backsub.jpg

Two Virginia submarines stopped, the rest moving forward to meet the incoming Galdanian fleet, and began laying advanced mobile mines between Task Force Phoenix and the Galdanians.


Despite the AA and SAM defenses, jamming and countermeasures, eight cruise missiles got through, raining destruction upon Tarasaki and the fortified bunkers that were being constructed; one ripped through the tower of a Oliver Perry frigate, smashing through.

From the two Nimitz Aircraft Carriers, twenty-five F-22 Raptors were launched.

http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/nimitz/images/nimitz8.jpg

The Raptors seemed to skim the ocean surface as they moved to meet the Galdanian fleet.

------
((I'm assuming it will be some time before your fleet gets to Tarasaki. thus Greyes isn't entirely involved with that yet))

"Clearly, any loyalist troops have been defeated," Vice-Admiral Greyes said as the three men considered the large photo on the table in front of them. "What kind of defense could these cities mount?" Greyes asked the Naorian standing next to him, motioning to the small cities that stood between Yoshihama and Tarasaki.

The short man, a Naori loyalist and member of the resistance, shook his head slightly. "Nothing big," he said; his english was good,and improving every day.

Greyes was silent for a moment, staring at the large swath of jungle that stretched across northern Naori, from Yoshihama to within twenty miles of Tarasaki. "What's in that jungle? Is it inhabited?"

"No, sir," the Naori said, almost smiling. "That jungle is bad. No good for people."

"Then no one will mind when I burn it to the ground," the Vice-Admiral said, turning to the other man in the room. "Captain, get a flight of Raptors into the air. I want this entire area cleared," he said, indicating on the photo a swath of land northwest of Tarasaki.

In less than forty-five minutes, another twelve F-22 Raptors had launched from the decks of the aircraft carriers, heading northwest over the dense jungle. They traveled for only a short period of time, and were roughly fifty miles from Tarasaki when they dropped their payload of napalm on the jungle below.

http://www.cantho-rvn.org/tet-shots/OLaughlin-tet-napalm-550.jpg

OOC: Just as a side note, those aren't supposed to hit tanks or anything, I'm just clearing out a section of the jungle, a diagonal cut across the jungle.

The fleet stopped many miles from Tarasaki harbor. Misile boats and fired at Tarasaki and the fleet, submarines launched modified long-range K-NAKs at postiions along the coast, while forty-two Blue Valkyrie fighter/bombers were launched from the carrier Dasidanya at Yakashima.

A small package arrived at the Eredronian headquarters in Tarasaki...
Inside are three items: A picture of a Jackal II, A Picture of a man with large specticles, and a letter.

The letter reads: My name is Josef Alexi Zyanioprovchtz. I want to defect. I have information about transportation of the Jackal II to the South Kevon Naval Base. Take my information, but promise to me that you will help me get over to the North.

On the back of the letter are detailed co-ordinates or where the transports will be while shipping to South Kevon.

Greyes studied the map, comparing the area with the coordinates on the paper as his subordinates dealt with the details of bringing the man over unharmed.

He considered the dangers of the information; the possibility of it being a trap. "What do we know about this...'South Kevon'?" he asked, turning his head to the junior intelligence officer.

"Intel is still coming in sir."((hint))

"I need information, now," he growled as he walked back to the bridge.

---------------

The Virginia-class Submarines had fired off a first round of torpedoes at the Galdanian ships before circling around the fleet to come in from behind and sending out a second round of torpedoes.

---------------

As the ground and naval AA/SAM units fired at the incoming missiles and fighters, the naval vessels, numbering well over fifty, responded in kind, sending a wave of Tomahawk missiles at the Galdanian fleet as the F-22 Raptors already inflight attacked the Valkyrie fighter/bombers, while more took off or returned from their missions.

The C-5 and G-12 Troop Transports inbound to Tarasaki had altered course, moving north while more fighters and several fueler tanks were scrambled.

Galdanian ships remained undamaged, except for the Hjavok, a submarine, which had it's front end blown apart. There were no survivors, save for the captains dog, which was found floating in the water at the surface. The dog was fine, but the ship was sunk.

The tomahawks were mostly intercepted, but one ripped a hole in the cruiser Geittyz, killing twenty-six men. Another hit the missile boat Stoyz, and sent it's crew to a watery death.

The ships moved to return to Yakashima, but found subs blocking their way. They released depth charges and fired torpedoes, while the enemy claimed another gunboat.
---
Jackals were released to battle the Raptors and F-22's, while to the north of Naori, eighteen cruise missiles would be caught on Eredronian radar, launched from a lone ship, flying the Galdanian flag.

Videotaped response by Galdanian Foreign Minister:
The minister, a Spanish man, puts up a fist, and slowly extends his middle finger.

OOC: I won't respond militarily, until I know this was a rejection of my offer, or that you didn't see it.

Galdanian armour columns, with considerable AA and AM support, advanced across into Eredronian-held territory. Aircraft advanced ahead of them, fighters sweeping the air clean, as bombers delivered punishing blows to the enemy below. Galdanian tanks would then advance quickly, mopping up any surviving troops before they could respond to the aerial attacks.

The Galdanians were using Blitzkrieg tactics.

OOC: I'll take that as a no. :o

OOC: I'll take that as a no. :o

Bingo, Peaches. :lol:

News of the Galdanian offense reached Greyes almost immediately, who promptly mobilized the ground forces.

The eight Paladin self-propelled howitzers began shelling the Galdanian force advancing forward as the twenty-four M-1A2 Abrams Tanks were manned. The eight ground AA/SAM units moved to provide more cover against the enemy aircraft, supported by a dozen F-22 Raptors, the only F-22s not needing to be refueled and rearmed. Apache helicopters were being readied for deployment, but would not be ready for another ten minutes.

OOC: Just how far are you from Tarasaki? I'm envisioning Yokishima(sp) to be a couple hundred miles away, just want to clarify.

Naorian pilots jumped into old, rusty biplanes that could barely fly. It didn't matter. These pilots never intended to land.

Six groups of five planes each lew over Galdanian territory on a suicide mission these were kamikaze pilots.

Eredronian planes flew oer the villiages in central Naori. The jungle surrounded them, but they had cleared patches to work their rice farms and grow corn and wheat. The villagers saw the planes high up and waves to them. They saw something spilling out of the planes...

******************************
Naorian soldiers were working in unison with Eredronian forces to beef up Tarasaki for Galdanian ground attack. 89,000 Naorians were armed in Tarasaki, and they had about 40 Shermans in the city to garrisson the city.

I guess I though about maybe one or two hundred kms.
IC:

An NRA member, Suki Imajashi, walked along the road leading to the Eredronian military base in Tarasaki. She sat down along the street to eat her lunch. She was dressed in traditional Naorian dress, nothing out of the ordinary. She noticed some Eredronian vehicle leaving the compund. Suki wore her hat over her head, shading her face. She quickly hurled the grenade that she had been hiding in her lunch box at the vehicle, before turning to run. The last thing she felt was blood running down her chest and back, and the sound of bullet casings falling to the ground.

Six Jackals were assigned to take down the planes. They would have to go slowly to catch the planes, which did not even have mach speed.

The grenade landed under the jeep before exploding, lifting the vehicle several feet into the air, before it crashed down again, crushing the driver. Shots sounded as two marines shot down the woman fleeing the scene as more soldiers arrived.

--------------

"How much longer?" Colonel Jacobs asked, shouting over the Paladin artillery in the background and the F-22 Raptors overhead, finishing up their aerial dogfight.

"Three minutes before she's overhead, and another two before we receive the transmit, colonel," Private Jones replied, his eyes squinting against the intermittant flashes.

Jacobs studied the maps on the wall, considering the terrain. The jungles north and west of the city sloped upward, with Tarasaki sitting on the highest point in the area, one of the few places that sat above the floods that would come in during the summers. From the Eredronian base near the port, Tarasaki extended west several miles; immediately surrounding the city were cleared fields, separating the city from the jungle; a jungle where Eredronian soldiers were busy laying booby traps and anti-tank mines in the northwestern approach, directly in front of the Galdanian's columns advancing from Yokishima.

"Ready?" Jacobs asked, turning back to the private.

"Almost, sir..." Jones replied, not looking up. "Here we are, sir." On the wall came several projected images: the latest photos taken by reconnaissance satellites.

Clearly visible were the Galdanian tanks and infantry advancing from the north as well as the south.

"We would like to invite Eredron's representitive to a little get-together we're haviong with the Empress of Naori. Won't you join us?"

Open Centralis Message to Galdania:

Your war for control of Naori in pursuit of 'international revolution' has now quite evidently exceeded all sense. We have seen, time and time again, Naori and Eredron request a halt to the fighting that peace might be made; and we have seen you reject every such effort. This is bad enough, but in deliberately firing incendiary missiles at civilian targets in Eredron, you have gone beyond being merely aggressive to being flagrantly murderous. We give you a choice: you can call a cease-fire and begin negotiations for peace and democracy - which, if the Naorians are as happy as you claim, should give you what you want - or we can intervene and compel you to accept peace. It's up to you, but pelase believe me when I say I'd prefer the first option.

Signed,
Andreas Von Weiser,
Minister for International Affairs,
Federal Republic of Centralis

Leopold von Mordenhein,
President,
Federal Republic of Centralis

* * *

When Weiser walked back into the War Room after delivering his message, he noted that ther emilitary officers everywhere, manning terminals or poring over charts.

"Sent the message, Weiser?" the President asked, looking up from his coffee mug as the Minister approached.

"Yes," Weiser replied, "hopefully this time they'll actually listen..."

"I wouldn't count on it. I'm really beginning to doubt the Galdanian leadership's sanity."

"So am I, Mr. President, so am I. By the way, you might find this interesting..."

Weiser handed the Mordenhein the top page of the latest UN Report on Galdania.

"The Glorious Communist Republic of Galdania... yadda yadda ya... CORRUPT DICTATORSHIP!?"

He choked, and narrowly avoided spraying coffee everywhere.

"Yes, apparently they've been reclassified. We ought to make a note of this, in case we need to use that information."

"I agree, Weiser. Put it in Galdania dossier. Now, back to military business. Would we get in trouble for deploying our troops into Naori without asking permission?"

"I hardly think so. After all, Eredron has alreayd asked for help, and there doesn't really appear to be much of a Naorian government left at all. Some people might object, but they're of no consequence."

"That's good, then. Hawkwood!" Mordenhein turned and shouted at his Defence Minister, who was busy discussing logistics with some of his subordinates. "Get those paratroopers moving now!"

Hawkwood gave him a thumbs up and began speaking into his mobile phone, while the President turned back to Weiser.

"So, how many troops are we sending right now?" Weiser asked curiously.

"Around a hundred thousand ground troops over the next day or so, plus more by sea," Mordenhein responded, "And a lot of aircraft, too. Hawkwood wants to execute Tunguska on the Galdanians if they keep going, but I said it wasn't warranted. We're moving the units into position, though."

Weiser winced. "Tunguska!? Has the man taken leave of his senses? Dropping big balls of iron out of orbit on enemy troops shouldn'texactly be a first resort."

"I know, I know... but we may have to do it. And if we do, better that than a nuke."

OOC: The first lot of troops being sent to Naori will be arriving at a rate of four to five thousand per hour, either by parachute or transport plane, and will mostly be lacking heavy ground equipment until that comes in behind. The planes flying them in will have a heavy escort, as will the ships coming behind, and a carrier battlegroup is also heading for the area and should be there within 36 hours.

Our offer for a peace summit remains open; we urge Galdania to accept.


OOC: Communists control the southern half of Naori, as well as a bit of northwest Naori. Eredron's military force is concentrated on the NE coast, in the city of Tarasaki; rough numbers are 60,000 troops, 20 Abrams, half that in artillery and AA/SAM along with 30 Apache helicopters; our naval force, approximately 55 ships including 2 carriers, are stationed in the port just outside of the city, some moderately to heavily damaged; about 50 F-22 Raptors are still intact. 8 C-5 Galaxies arrive every day bringing armored vehicles, and 35 G-12 Transports bring a total of roughly 10,000 troops.

"Mine everywhere but our shipping route and Route X. I want them dead before they get here."
"Dah."
---
We will agree to this: In 42 hours, we will cease hostilities and devide the country in two, one Eredronian part and one Galkdanian. SAgreed?

OOC: What are you using to mine the route? Aircraft, surface ships, or submarines?

Galdanian tnaks advances in a pincer movement on Tarasaki. Behind the tanks were endless troops, expecially from the South. Artillery fired from Takihido to crush the city, while air riads began on Tarasaki.

OOC: What are you using to mine the route? Aircraft, surface ships, or submarines?



Ships, accompanied by armed escourt ships.

As F-22 Raptors fought for air superiority assisted by SAM/AA units, the eight M109A6 Paladin Artillery returned fire upon the Galdanian artillery and tank colums, able to fire four rounds over 30 kilometers before changing location, all under a minute.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m2_1.jpg

Apache helicopters were skirting the edges of the advancing Galdanians, strafing the marching troops and targeting the armored vehicles with their Hellfire missiles.

An artillery shell struck the converted school gymnasium, killing over a hundred medical personnel and civilians; across Tarasaki, buildings were collapsing as artillery shells fell upon them; an F-22 Raptor was clipped by a Jackal's missile, and spiraled out of control. The aircraft sideswiped the side of what had been a condominium before crashing into the street, erupting into a ball of flame.

After the first traps were uncovered, killing some troops and damaging tanks, special teams were sent in to clear out any mines, traps, etc. Their enemy knew this terrain fairly well, but the Galdanians were familiar with guerrilla strategy. They used it all the time, all around the world.

Galdanian troops were given machetes and flamethrowers to cut through the dense foliage, and to kill any enemy they might encounter in close counters while attacking Tarasaki.

Ryo Miramuri took a wizz in one of the toilets in Tarasaki's finest resturant, Le Thing-de-Francais before silently lifting the lid on the toilet and putting a bomb in it.

Ryo ate the rest of his dinner and left the building. The NRA had targetted it because they knew that only Eredronian soldiers not on duty or collaberating/government Naorians could aford to eat at Le Thing-de-Francais. Ryo walked down the street to an alley. He leaned against the wall and pressed the button in his pocket. He was nearly thrown throuygh the wall by the force of the blast. Had he used too much C4? He felt his arm to find that it was broken. He slowly blacked out after walking a few steps to the road, and collapsed on the roken sidewalk.

From Eredron's missile sites, thirty-six Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched into the air, tracking the retreating Galdanian navy even as Virginia submarines continued to harass them.

Meanwhile, fresh F-22 Raptors had arrived in Eredron, and were being readied for immediate deployment over the Western Sea (ocean separating Eredron and Naori).

A very large transport ship crossed the ocean east of Naori. It had only two Blue Valkries flying over it...
---

Galdanian troops took casualties from the Eredronians, but the AA capabilities of many tanks in the Galdanian armoured columns were a match for the Apaches. Jackals had far more speed than their Eredronian counterparts, but lacked firepower. Jackal twos were expected on the transport ship Styr, but it was moving slowly over the ocean...
Blue valkyries used their secret weapon 'dfoubling' their numbers. They released wooden and rubber and metal decoys, that confused enemy missiles, and cuased confusion as missiles streaked everywhere throughout the air. One Jackal went down, crashin into the road below

Galdanian 155mm cannons kept up a blistering hail of fire against the enemy.

An artists impression of Galdanian troops advancing on Tarasaki.

Captain Trevor Vickrey stifled a yawn as his A-17 "Kestral" naval scout aircraft reached the next waypoint on it's recon run. Letting the autopilot handle the flying, Vickrey studied the instruments with a total lack of interest; he'd been on patrol for over two hours, and he hadn't even seen a fishing boat. He yawned again, and then nearly jumped out of his skin as his radar bleeped loudly and repeatedly. It had spotted something ahead... something big. Examining the screen and hitting a few keys, he could see that it was a small flotilla of ships matching the profile of Galdanian naval vessels. Taking over manual control and turning towards them, he opened a commlink channel to the main carrier group.

"Command, this is Kestral Three. I've picked up a small group of Galdanian naval vessels on radar a few hundred kilometres ahead of the main group; I'm heading in for a closer look, over."

"Copy that, Kestral Three. What kind of vessels? Over."

"Small ones; they look like they're escorting something. Maybe a troop convoy, maybe ASW ships, maybe minelayers. Over."

"Thanks, Kestral Three. Contact us when you get closer. Over."

"Will do. Over and out."

A few minutes later, the plane came into visual range, and Trevor circled twice as he examined the ships.

'They look like minelayers...' he thought.

"Command, this is Kestral Three. They look like minelayers from here. Over."

"Thanks for the info, Kestral Three. We'll increase minesweeper patrols immediately. Now, return to your previous course. Over."

"Roger that, Command. Over and out."

Sattelite photos located the site of Eredronian missile bases; Missiles from South Kevon were launched to take out the site.
---
From Takahido, six Jackal II's (the new ones) screamed towards the site. With the speed of the Jackal, but better systems and missiles, the jackal II was the ultimate fighter jet.
---
The Galdanian navy continued fighting the subs, attempting to move towards Takahido. Their SAM systems were engaged, especially the one on the cruiser Mip.

From the command center at New Eredron, the unidentified contact appeared on the enormous radar screen; a second and third appeared almost on top of it. IFF identified it as Galdanian.

Four Tomahawk cruise missiles were diverted from their predestined target and moved towards the transport, as F-22 Raptors lifted off from Eredron to ensure the contact was destroyed.

1:"Mouse takes the chesse."
2:"Cat's Meow, are you ready?"
1:"Cat's Meow is ready. Your sitch.?"
2:"Neighbor's Dog is standing by."
3:"Affirmitive. Mailman ready with paper."
4:"Duck Hunt is ready."
2: "All items, toss your cookies!"
---
Several Galdanian subs launched their NAV AA AM missiles, striking down all of the tomahawks. K-NAKs were fired at the F-22's.
From the huge transport, a single AA gun was prepared to fire at the planes.

TO: Galdania
FROM: Centralis

Although we will defer to Eredron in this matter, your present peace offer is not acceptable to us. Fighting must stop now, and the final deal must result in the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Naori and the election of a democratic government.

- Minister Von Weiser.

The first group of 5000 Centralis paratroopers are now dropping into the city of Tarasaki to help the Erdronians hold it. As they lack heavy equipment, they have been instructed to avoid fighting in the open, but instead to use cover as much as possible and strike at Galdanian armour and air support using anti-tank rockets and SAMs.

Galdanian troops have been ordered to put oon gas masks and throw gas grenades and fire gas-filled shells at close range.

Knock-out gas is being used. While not illegal under U.N. laws, it is in a 'grey area'.

Fifty Galdanian gunship helicopters are being dispatcxhed to the front in Takahido, to combat enemy copters and forces.


Galdania suggests that we hold democratic elections.

Centralis naval forces heading for Naori have successfully cleared away a large number of mines, thanks to an early warning from a recon plane. We wish to protest Galdania's actions in placing mine sin international waters, where neutral shipping easily could have and probably has been affected.

Galdania suggests that we hold democratic elections.

Eredron has long proposed this. Cease your hostilities and offensive actions, and we will do likewise, allowing further negotiations to take place.

Eredron has long proposed this. Cease your hostilities and offensive actions, and we will do likewise, allowing further negotiations to take place.

Galdanian forces slowly pulled out of Takahido, as flame-tanks scorched the last targets. The last limbs fell as machetes clanked to the ground. Rifles quieted down. Artillery could scarcely be heard in the distance.

4,000 Eredronian infantry have moved to take up a forward position in Tarasaki, providing as much cover and assistance to the Centralis paratroopers as possible, as the Paladin artillery continued firing. Fourteen of the Shermans of the Naori loyalists were sent forward to test the Galdanian line, firing upon the superior Galdanian tanks without stopping, as another fifteen fired at the artillery.

OOC: Sorry, made that post before you had posted yours for me to see.

OOC: Sorry, made that post before you had posted yours for me to see.

OOC: So should it be ignored, or make things 'interesting'? :twisted:

Just ignore the Shermans moving in.

Galdanian paratroopers landed far west of Tarasaki, over a long stretch of jungle. However, they found much of it scorched, and bodies all over...
http://www.warfoto.com/bh54aa_small.jpg

OOC: I'm debating whether or not to accept that village being there, or if I should allow it for the sake of adding another element to the RP.

More armored support and troops have arrived, but further offensive action is being indefinitely postponed for the duration of any peace talks.

The Consul has appointed Vice-Admiral Greyes, current military commander of the Eredron Expeditionary Force, to represent Eredron in any peace negotiations with authority to speak for the Eredron government.

Given overriding orders by the Premier General of the Naori theatre Hannibal Poulsen, two of the three Long Rifle regiments start marching inland. They are welcomed in the countryside, where they start aiding Naori cities by training militia and performing some of the manual labour needed to restore infrastructure in damaged buildings. The last Long Rifle regiment guards the harbour and awaiting the arrival of the armour and artillery.

In other news, Foreign Minister Mogens Lykketoft suggested a course of action that might resolve the bloody conflict to the Eredron and Galdanian protagonists: "We propose that southern Naori is transformed into a sovereign nation underlaid the virtous and free socialist ideology that we and Galdania espouse. Naori then remains in it's current, if reduced, state and becomes a democratic regime."

Galdania suggests holding democratic elections in bost Southern Naori and Imperial Naori.

We believe that they should be split apart, and possibly reunified in the future, when peace has restored both territories.

As Galdanian tanks pulled out of Takihido, the Naorian troops advanced upon them.
"For the Empire! Long live the Empress!" shouted General Atakawi as he charged with 56,000 of his men. They had antique rifles, but they knew that the Galdanians could not attack back. If all went well, they could have the capital back in their hands soon enough.

We believe that they should be split apart, and possibly reunified in the future, when peace has restored both territories.

It is clear now that the opponent and obstacle to peace has always been Galdania and its communist allies; before any further talks, we demand that the military forces of Kamerovia, Hogsweat and Red Scandinavia withdraw from Naori.

As for your offer, the Dominion of Eredron has assumed control of northern Naori, acting as a pro tempore provisional government, until the Imperial Government is restored. Acting as such, it is our position that the best possible course of action is to proceed with immediate national elections, ensured to be fair and democratic by a neutral party, perhaps Centralis.

OOC: What the ZHELL are you ddoing!? You're not going to survive this.

IC: The Galdanians had been wary of a sneak attack, but they did not expect it from Naorian soldiers. Tanks used their machine guns to mow down the poorly equipped naorian soldiers, and re-advanced, runing over groups of soldiers unable to get out of the way in time.

Galdanian flame-tanks moved quickly onto the enemy, scorcvhing all in their path. The charred bodies of enemy soldiers littered the battlefield.
Infantry set up heavy weapon enplacements, ripping the limbs off Naori's soldiers with high-powered bullets.

"Comrade, the Naorians are launching an all-out attack on our forces at Tarasaki!"
"I thought we were setting up a cease-fire! Those bastards! Launch the Jackal II's! I want Tarasaki brought down! I want 30,000 Zefyerens over here, now!"
"Zefyerens, Comrade? Why?"
"Hey, the Zefyerens are part of OUR country, we can call on them any time we like! Now, get me some Zefyerens!"

On a snowy mountain, in the Semi-Autonomous Region of Zefyrz...
"Komveuse, Galdinise Generale pour vous."
"Ne pas attons, Kommeur."

"C'est ce pas?"
"Te appochez que'st Ills forte."

We are willing to orchestrate a removal of our ally's forces, if you can stop the Imperial forces from launching sneak-attacks on us! We demand that naorian action cease, or we will push you into the ocean.

West of tarasaki, Zefyeren paratroopers landed in areas cleared of jungle by napalm. They were equipped with special hazard-suits, to make sure that any residual effects of the napalm would not effect them

The forces of the Naori loyalists will be restrained; a rogue military commander formed the attack, and is being dealt with. We urge you against launching any retaliatory strike, and must condemn the troops of Zefryz landing in Naori.

The Zefyeren troops are there only because of our orders; the Zefyrz Military Branch operates under total control of Galdania; Zefyrz broke away from Galdania for 16 months before being receeded to Galdania.

We will be on the lookout for future betrayal.
---
Zefyeren paratroopers moved east, taking any small towns or villiages they might find, and calling in more forces to garrison the area.
---
Galdania proposes an armistance: All sides will cease fighting, holding whatever territory they now control. This will continue indefinately, or until a total peace treaty is signed. Agreed?

Galdania would like to negotiate the release of the crew of the Myor submarine. We have captured many times the size of the crew in naori soldiers at Tarasaki. It is a deal that is more than fair for the Imperial Forces.

In order to deal with any future sneak attacks by any side, we propose a further agreement among all parties involved in the Naori situation: no offensive action will be taken, but any forces which violate the agreement will be considered fair game for retaliation. However, this will apply only to forces directly involved, so if an Eredronian unit got into an altercation with a Galdanian one, this would not be grounds for the dissolution of the cease-fire.

- Minister Von Weiser

Captain Ralfagez tried the radio one last time. Nothing. The gunfire was starting to die down. He had a score of men remaining upstairs with him . He heard one of the downstairs soldiers scream, some more gunfire, nothing. He could hear the Naorians coming up the stairs. He cocked his rifle. They were reaching the top... A loud whirring of blades. 'Captain Ralfagez !!' The soldier lent out the side of the black hawk. 'Comrades , you are saved ! Our glorious armour is coming !' The naorians reached the top of the stairs.

Marakima Nagayosho reached the top of the stairs. He was eager to kill something. THen he heard the whirring of the dreaded helicopters. He could also hear its mighty cannon charge up.

The Dominion of Eredron finds this proposal to be a reasonable course of action, and is ready to abide by these stipulations.

Galdania proposes an armistance: All sides will cease fighting, holding whatever territory they now control. This will continue indefinately, or until a total peace treaty is signed. Agreed?

We have already agreed to cease offensive military operations; we are now waiting for Galdania and its Zefyrz units to do likewise before peace talks begin.

Galdania would like to negotiate the release of the crew of the Myor submarine. We have captured many times the size of the crew in naori soldiers at Tarasaki. It is a deal that is more than fair for the Imperial Forces.

The crew of the Myor submarine are being detained in secure camps in Eredron. We are more than willing to negotiate their release; free all soldiers of Imperial Naori captured by both Galdania and by its allies, and we will provide transport for the crew to the nearest Galdanian base.


----

The Dominion of Eredron wishes to voice its strong disapproval of the trial of the Imperial Majesty of Naori; we find it certain that no fair trial may be given to the empress in Galdania, and certainly not if her legal defense is likewise Galdanian appointed. Furthermore, if the trial continues, Eredron will be forced to more seriously consider bringing the Genyan dictator Kit Ph'at to face charges of our own.

Galdania will appoint no defence to the Empress. In Galdania, all people defend themselves in court.

Genyan President Ki Ph'at will remain untouchable. We will not say how many troops we have in Genya, but we can assure you that their numbers are sufficient to protect Genya's democratically elected leader.
---
Zefyeren and Galdanian troops will hold their current positions, and attack only if attacked first.

We will release all Imperial POWs if all Galdanian ones, including the submarine crew, are releases as well. We are standing by to release the prisoners outside Takahido.

We will recognize no legal hearings or actions taken against the Empress until the military dictator Kit Ph'at is similarly charged; indeed, the Galdanian government itself is glaringly guilty of the very charges they bring against Her Majesty.

Eredron will transport the Galdanian prisoners of war to the Tarasaki military encampment; they will be released shortly thereafter, as soon as a suitable guarantee is provided that all Naori government officials and civilians taken by communist forces will likewise be released.

We will release all living Naorian officials, scarce as they are.

Most were tried at the hands of the People of Naori, who were vengeful upon their former masters.

OOC: Sorry for not specifying, but I meant to direct this mostly at Hogsweat and the others, whom I know have taken some.

Still, Galdania will release the government prisoners still alive in our custody.

The Galdanian prisoners of war arrived at the Tarasaki base aboard an EA-80 transport, and under heavy guard were placed onto several military transport trucks. After informing the Galdanian military force located outside of the city, the trucks moved out through the city as two Apache helicopters flew overhead.

The trucks stopped short of the frontline of the Galdanian forces encamped, and the prisoners of war were helped out of the trucks. Three duffel bags were given to the group of POWs: their uniforms and everything they had on their personage at the time of their detainment. The senior Eredronian military officer present saluted the Galdanian POWs before they were released to their communist comrades.

Masses of Naorian soldiers, with a few Eredronians mixed in with them, walked out of Takihido under Galdanian guard. Most seemed happy at being released, and smiles, high-fives, and laughing were not uncommon when listening to the gaggle of former-POWs.

In a few old Naorian taxis, under guard of Galdanian jeeps, Naorian officials werre driven to the drop-off zone.

I have taken no hostages ... :roll: :wink:


The Hostage/s WILL be returned only when the Military receives these :

1.) The dogtags, weapons, equipment and bodies of all dead Hogsweat soldiers in Naori. (about ... 87.)
2.) All captured Hogsweat Intelligence
3.) The captured Hogsweatiean black hawk pilots/crew - 3 in total
4.) All captured Hogsweateain equipment
Only then will the Naorian Mayor and his retinue be given back.The deal will be overseen by Eredrenion forces.

The Socialist People's Army of Scandinavia keeps at assisting locals with reconstruction efforts and militia training, keeping alert but non-agressive. The People's Republic of Scandinavia have high hopes for the peace talks.

OOC: Never said 'hostage'.

A search for all Hogsweatian men lost will be conducted as soon as possible throughout the Empire. However, we demand the immediate release all Naori/Eredronian soldiers, civilians and government personnel, and the immediate withdrawal of all Hogsweatian, Kamerovian, and Red Scandinavian forces. The continued presence of these military forces jeopardizes the success of peace talks.

As a sign of good will, over a 1/3 of Naval Task Force Phoenix is withdrawing from the area; 80,000 Eredronian troops remain, with the military base in Tarasaki expanding into destroyed segments of the city to house the growing troop and armored presence; military engineers are working with what remains of the city's government to plan the rebuilding of the city and provide housing for the homeless.

Search and relief teams are being formed to go out into the cities of northern Naori and provide whatever aid is necessary.

Galdania will remove no troops at all. We will continue bringing more troops into naori every day.

Despite Eredronian missile attacks, Yakashima, Murushima, and even Takihido (to an extent) are being rebuilt from scratch by hordes of Galdanian workers.

The South is already exporting goods around the world, including fish and...um, other stuff.

Having notified nearby Galdanian forces of an outbound flight, thirteen Black Hawk Utility Helicopters lifted off from Tarasaki, heading for the city of Makatashi(sp) in the northwest portion of Naori. The helicopters carried medical personnel and relief aid, as well as a small military detail. Future flights would become more frequent as military forces secured cities of northern Naori for the distribution of humanitarian aid.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/uh60-002.jpg

Galdanian planes flew over Makatashi, dropping hundreds of crates of humanitarian aid. A hundred armed paratroopers accompanied the supplies, to make sure that the supplies were distributed to those who needed them.

Acting as the provisional governor of Imperial Naori, Vice-Admiral Greyes has ordered 10,000 men to Makatashi, to act as a police force, continue the search for hidden NRA cells, and oversee the humanitarian effort there.

Senior Senator Ted Kesloe is scheduled to land at the Tarasaki military airstrip aboard a government airliner; the senator will meet with Vice-Admiral Greyes and the troops before inspecting the progress of the Eredronian troops first-hand by touring northern Naori. The senator will report back to the Senate of Majorities upon his return.

Galdanian tank columns advanced up the west coast of Naori, with mechanized infantry close behind. They were under orders to seize Makatashi, and to capture or destroy the Eredronian foce stationed there.

"The movement of Galdanian forces into north Naori is a clear violation of the armistice and cease fire gentlemen's agreement. A full military response will be carried out if Galdania does not immediately withdraw."

Vice-Admiral Greyes

"As the provisional government of Imperial Naori, it is the duty of Eredron to ensure the safety of the Naori citizens. Eredronian troops are being deployed to cities across northern Naori to act as a police force and prevent instability, chaos or bedlam from arising, assist in the distribution of humanitarian and relief aid, and oversee the rebuilding of Naori. This is not an offensive action against Galdania or the southern portion of Naori."

- Vice-Admiral Greyes

Makatashi would be an ideal location to launch attacks on SOuth Naori from. We cannot allow your forces to occupy such an integral point.

Your men can either leave Makatashi or be destroyed.

OOC: On the map that Naori made, Makatashi is the northernmost city shown.

I know.

OOC: Just wanted to make sure.

Makatashi would be an ideal location to launch attacks on SOuth Naori from. We cannot allow your forces to occupy such an integral point.

Your men can either leave Makatashi or be destroyed.

"Again, I reiterate this is not an offensive gesture against Galdania, nor can it reasonably be construed as such. Those troops in Makatashi are reestablishing order and stability, and will not be ordered out by Galdania.

"Our forces will continue into makatashi; they will be there as police and peacekeepers only. They will not commit any offensive actions against Eredronian troops. They will simply police the area and provide Humanitarian aid."

"Our forces will continue into makatashi; they will be there as police and peacekeepers only. They will not commit any offensive actions against Eredronian troops. They will simply police the area and provide Humanitarian aid."

Then you will not object to Eredronian forces moving into Murushima to do likewise?

Centralis troops have been continuing to arrive in Tarasaki and other cities in northern Naori since the cease-fire, with their numbers now in excess of 200 000. Battle Group Dragon and the transports it escorts is expected to arrive in Naorian waters by tommorrow, further reinforcing Centralis and Eredronian forces there.

- Press Release from the Centralis Ministry for Information

Eredronian ground forces have peaked at 100,000; further troop reinforcements have been postponed, as priority is given to the transport of armored vehicles, artillery and equipment.

Galdanian troops in Naori number somewhere near 230,000 men, with many armoured units among them.

Galdanian soldiers will protect the Naorian people in makatashi, including any revolutionaries or members of the NRA persecuted by the Eredronian army.
---
In Makatashi...
Eredronian soldiers neared an apartement complex, only to find Galdanian vehicles stationed outside. Galdanian soldiers yelled at the Eredronians are aimed their guns. Several Naorian men quickly scurried out of the building and into the Galdanian APC. The Galdanians watched the Eredronians carefully. One Eredronian soldier gulped as he saw a Galdanian 44mm machine gun aimed at his head. The other Galdanians were similarily armed and prepared.

In response to continued aggressive provocations by the Galdanian occupation army in Naori, the Centralis government has announced that the carrier battle groups Guardian and Manifold will be deployed to Naori, along with an additional 250 000 troops by air and sea. This will bring Centralis troop numbers in Naori to close to 600 000, including tose who arrived with Battle Group Dragon.

- CMoI Press Release

OOC: I'll absent for most of tommorrow, so try not to get too far ahead before I get back. Eredron can take any reasonable defensive action with Centralis troops while I'm gone; I won't go into all their equipment here, but suffice to say it's mostly 2010-15 style stuff.

With tension in Naori escalating, Eredron has recommenced aerial troop transport, with dozens of G-12 troop transports joining the endless stream of C-5 Galaxy's and EA-80 transport planes coming to northeastern Naori from Eredron.

Eredron had deployed approximately 40 M-1A2 Abrams, 15 Paladin self-propelled howitzers, 10 MLRS Rocket Artillery Systems, dozens of various SAM/AA units, and 20 M-113A3 APCs, with more reinforcements arriving throughout the day.

The 10,000 Eredronian troops in Makatashi were concentrating in the eastern district of the city, taking over unoccupied, damaged buildings to form the core of their military encampment. Black Hawk helicopters flew in munitions, equipment and other needed supplies to the troops.

OOC: I also might be unavailable for much of the day, so if you do anything, be patient in waiting for a response; likewise, if Centralis is on and I am not, he can take charge of my military force.

Yvorgy Gruznopaz, a Galdanian member of the NRA, peeked through the window. Outside he saw Eredronian troops unloading from a Black Hawk helicopter. He aimed his Galdanian RPG16 through the window and fired at the group of soldiers.

His fellow NRA comrades sniped out Eredronian soldiers from windows in ruined buildings, with a few stroming the enemy from behind crates and barrels on the ground. They all had Galdanian equipment.
---
Galdanian troops were awhere that they were outnumbered. However, that would soon change. With massive Centralian commitment to Naori, Galdania had plans to beef up the number of troops in Naori at least three fold. The navy was pouring more resources in to Naori, and was planning to cut off supplies thjrough a naval and aerial blockade.
---
Galdanian tanks cut through makatashi, smashing into Eredronian operating centres, while artillery and planes backed them up.

OOC: 2010-2015 tech? I dunno...That seems awfully advanced...Not to mention that you've just poured hundreds of thousands of men into this war so quickly.

The RPG knocked a soldier into the side of a building before it exploded, killing the nearest three men and piercing several others with shrapnel. A man was seen withdrawing from an open window, a portable rocket launcher on his shoulder. The soldiers opened fire on the window as another threw a grenade in.

The men took cover behind the Black Hawk as a small group ran across the street and forced open the ground level door. The fifteen soldiers swept through the first floor then advanced upward; on the second floor they found hidden rifles and ammunition in a small room, as well as three men who were arrested. On the third floor they entered into a room, the walls charred from the grenade explosion, and saw what was left of the ma who had fired the RPG.

--------

All across the city, Eredronian soldiers were securing buildings from the NRA, with the help of the local Naori. Once the buildings had been secured, another team arrived to perform a thorough search for hidden caches, occasionally knocking out walls and tearing up floor boards to reveal hidden NRA stashes.

Meanwhile, the majority of the soldiers - roughly 9,000 men - were fortifying themselves against a Galdanian offensive, waiting for reinforcements.

From Tarasaki, F-22 Raptors were being launched to slow the Galdanian advancement; using air-to-ground missiles, F-22s rained destruction down onto the Galdanian artillery and tanks while other Raptors engaged the Galdanian planes. Apache helicopters stationed near Makatashi joined the F-22s, directing their attacks on the Galdanian tanks. Several were shot out of the air by the limited AA defenses, but most remained relatively undamaged, strafing any visible personnel with their machine guns as they fired off their missiles at the armored vehicles.

3 MLRS Rocket Artillery Systems were deploying west of Tarasaki, moving out far enough so that the rear Galdanian artillery was within the 32 kilometer range of their missiles.

In less than a minute, each MLRS had fired twelve rockets into the air, each rocket covering a .23 sq. km area.

Galdanian AA and SAM sites were defending well against the enemy planes and helicopters, but a few tanks were hit nonetheless.

http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/f117/images/nhawk6s.jpg
zipped across the sky, using seeking fire-and-forget weapons on the F22's.

Galdanian tanks with reactive armour, most with 120mm+ guns stormed Eredronian encampments, taking out entire buildings to get to the Eredronians. Galdanian infatry took up the dangerous job of evacuating civilians to Communist-controlled areas of Makatashi, from there civilians would then be transferred to Murushima or othe 'safe' areas.

Galdanian infatry took up the dangerous job of evacuating civilians to Communist-controlled areas of Makatashi, from there civilians would then be transferred to Murushima or othe 'safe' areas.

Gunfights were breaking out all across Makatashi as thousands of Eredronian soldiers opened fire on Galdanian troops in the streets; machine guns raked the enemy soldiers, while return fire left dozens of Eredronians dead. The soldiers were fighting viciously, their first time to meet Galdanian troops in open combat. Black Hawks occasionally provided support fire as they withdrew, heading north away from the oncoming Galdanians to circle around and return to Tarasaki.

During all this, the Eredronians were being gradually pushed north as the Galdanian tanks continued advancing into the city. The few M-72 anti-tank rockets the soldiers had were quickly expended; the twelve M21 anti-tank mines were likewise scattered in the most likely paths of the Galdanian tanks.

Once the mines were in place and the last of the AT rockets used, the last of the soldiers holding the rearguard fell back to regroup farther west.

-----

The Jackal IIs were on par with the F-22 Raptors, but outnumbered despite the seven Raptors that had been initially lost. Over a hundred F-22s were in the area or inbound. The sleek aircraft were now concentrating on eliminating the Jackal IIs, as the Apache helicopters shifted their weapons to the incoming Galdanian helicopters, firing off their air-to-air missiles in rapid succession while maneuvering erratically to evade a counter-response.

------

Meanwhile, 20 M-1A2 Abrams Battle Tanks and were moving out from Tarasaki, skirting the jungle that enveloped the northern coast of Naori. More F-22 Raptors flew escort overhead, while howitzers and artillery pounded the rear of the Galdanian force. From the replenished Task Force Phoenix still positioned outside Tarasaki, dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles leapt in the sky, skimming the terrain of Naori heading northwesterly to slam into the Galdanian armored columns advancing into Makatashi. To the sailors ashore, it seemed as if the very bellies of the naval vessels were being emptied as the sky filled with the cruise missiles.

OOC: 2010-2015 tech? I dunno...That seems awfully advanced...Not to mention that you've just poured hundreds of thousands of men into this war so quickly.

How so? Most of it's just more advanced versions of present-day technology, without much actually new stuff.

EDIT: And regarding my sending vast numbers of troops in, bear in mind that this was done over time, and the additional troops being sent aren't going to arrive immediately.

EDIT2: And also note that while I may be moving a lot of troops in, they're not going to be effective immediately - they still need to set up base camps, supply lines, etc.

How fast can the F22 go? I have less planes up, but mine are probably a lot faster. They can go Mach 4.62.
---
Galdanian tanks used special reacion-disrupters to disable all but two of the Eredronian mines; however, the mines only damaged the tanks that went over them.

THe Galdanian helicopters aimed for Black Hawks, letting Galdanians with Vyornovshki AA missiles (suped-up stingers) to take out the Apaches.

55 Blue Valkyries entered Makatashi airspace to combat the Eredronian planes.

The war was on again.

OOC: 'Reaction disruptors'? What the hell are they supposed to be?

Oh, and regarding F-22s: unless these are specially souped-up ones, the Jackals would easily outrun them - the maximum speed of an F-22 is apparently Mach 1.8 (or 1.5; the source of this info is a bit unclear). See http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/f-22-specs.htm

And, finally, a question: apart from being very fast, what are the Jackal's other attributes?

IC: "Damn them! Damn them! Damn them!" Mordenhein whispered, staring at a computerised map of Naori that covered half the wall, with the Centralis/Eredron positions marked in blue and the Galdanian ones in red. Presently, most of the map was red.

"Why did those bastards have to restart the war so soon? Why couldn't they have waited just a few more days? We won't be able to properly commit to the fighting until we can get our infrastructure sorted, and by then the Galdanians may overrun most of the rest of Naori..."

As he sat drumming his fingers on the table and trying to think of what could be done, Defence Minister Alvarex came over holding a phone in one hand.

"Mr. President, the commander of task Force Dragon is requesting permission to launch A-25 Razorwings to intervene over Makatashi. He says he could launch 100 or so without seriosuly depleting his air defence, and they could make all the difference there; they can arrive within half an hour or so. He's also asking permission to fire cruise missiles at Galdanian positions near Makatashi, like supply depots."

"Tell him he has full permission to do that, and anything else he considers necessary, until I say otherwise. Galdania has committed acts of war against us all, and they have no right to complain about anything that happens to them."

"Good. I'll tell him that." Alvarex turned away slightly and spoke into the phone again, then termianted the call and turned away. As he did so, Mordenhein spoke again.

"Alvarex, how close to completion are our airfields near Tarasaki?"

The Defence Minister turned back and pondered for a moment before replying.

"Last I heard was about a day to full capacity; we're now at close to full capacity on storage, but much less on fuelling and repair. We could operate a few hundred aircraft properly, but no more, yet, anyway."

"Right... get as many aircraft over there as possible, as fast as possible. We need more air cover. What's the status of the other facilities?"

"Our barracks are mainly complete, along with the transport sections of the airfields; our docks are maybe three days from completion. The defences around all of the sites are completely in place."

"Right, thanks for the info. Tell Battle Groups Guardian and Manifold that if they see any Galdanian naval vessels, they're to keep weapons locked on and ready to fire if they give any indication of hostile intent. If they see transports, they're to fire immediately."

"Yessir. I'll pass that on at once."

OOC: F-22s max out at Mach 2. Galdania, some of your tech is iffy, especially when you were criticizing Centralis for their own 2010-tech level. Also waiting for a response to my Tomahawks.

----

Consul Supreme McCallister studied the map in front of him, hastily prepared for him moments after the peace negotiations had ended; the up-to-date locations of all three forces were shown. Reports from the F-22 flight commander, ground forces in the area and Vice-Admiral Greyes were reaching him via a large array of communications equipment that filled one of the former parlors of the Manor.

Over a dozen F-22 Raptors had been lost, bringing their number down to approximately eighty; in addition, fifteen Apache helicopters had been downed. Centralis had promised reinforcements, but that would take time...time he didn't have. More Galdanian aircraft were entering the area from southern Naori. Eredronian troops were falling back all across the city, joined by floods of civilians. Whatever Galdanian or NRA resistance met had been suppressed, but the troops had taken heavily losses.

-----

Colonel Moore studied the GPS readout in his lap while the tank rumbled forward at over 30 mph. The twenty M-1A2 Abrams had stopped briefly to refuel, and were now less than three minutes from the rear of the Galdanian armored columns.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/M1A2-running.jpg

Already, the rear artillery were entering to their range. Without slowing, the twenty Abrams targeted the Galdanian artillery, and fired off a barrage with their 120mm cannons. Reloading, the Abrams continued on toward the Galdanian tanks, hoping to get off the crucial first and second volleys before the tanks were able to respond.

Their F-22 fighter escort had moved ahead to engage the enemy aircraft as the M-1A2s readied to fire a second time. They did so, their 125mm shells slamming into the rear of the Galdanian tanks. The Abrams split into two groups, each veering away from each other; one group attacked the rear tanks a second time, while the other circled around to knock out any SAM units and artillery.

OOC: Mach 2? I guesws I'll lower the Jackal's speed to 3.72.
Jackals are not heavily equipped, as that would impair their speed, but they are super fast. That's about it. The Jackal II has more weaponry, and better systems.

And the reaction-dealies are similar to the things that America uses to stop mines and bombs from exploding by jamming frequencies and systems.

IC: Tomahawks hit some of the tanks, causing massive damage to what they hit. SAM sytems managed to take some down, but many Galdanians still lost their lives in the armoured shells of Galdania's tanks.

Artillery were damaged significantly by the unexpected Eredronian tank assault, but the Galdanian tanks were quick to react. They tuned the rear force against the Eredronian assault, firing their cannons over and over at the enemy. Galdanian Gor helicopters fired Deathscythe Missiles at the Eredronian tanks. The missiles were designed to penetrate the armour before detonating. The actual explosive in the missile was put more in the middle of the missile, so that it would explode when inside the vehicle, and through it's armour.

Galdanian tanks moved north from the west coast, attempting to pin the Eredronians from the north and south.
---
A Galdanian transport carrying 82 marines was torpedoed by a Centralian vessel along Galdanian shipping lines.
Galdanian submarines responded against the offending vessel with NAk missiles and Skvall II torpedoes.
---
"Sixteen artillery peices down, and six tanks. Four Gors also destroyed, Comrade."

"Sixteen peices of artillery!? Why were they not expecting a rear-assault!?"

"The enemy was outnumbered seven to one. The Leiutenant underestimated them."

"Remind me not to assign any more high-priority missions to Junior Officers again, Mikhail."

"Yes Comrade."

500 Zefyeren paratroopers landed just behind enemy lines in the jungles of Naori. There were supposed to be more, but one of the planes was shot down with it's entire crew aboard. The Zefyerens were to launch guerrilla attacks and wiggle their way into Northern Naori, getting the populace on-side in order to inspire an uprising.

Eight Abrams tanks were lost in the first counter-volley fired by the Galdanian tanks and by the air-to-surface missiles of the helicopters, but did not hesitate in returning fire, their 120mm shells piercing the armor of the Galdanian tanks. The Apaches took advantage of the Galdanian helicopter's distraction and redoubled their attack, hoping to avenge those pilots shot down.

Five MLRS Rocket Artillery Systems had joined the three already stationed west of Tarasaki; all eight were moving towards Makatashi, accompanied by thirty old Naori Shermans, a dozen SAM/AA units, and ten M-113A3 APCs, each carrying troops. This group was heading NW, straight toward the city, while ten Shermans moved north of them, straight through the jungle, with over two thousand men, some in personnel carriers, others marching.

An additional twenty-four F-22 Raptors had arrived over Makatashi, replacing those that had left to refuel at Tarasaki.

C-5 Galaxy and other aerial and naval transports continued to arrive at Tarasaki; the Eredronian infantry in Tarasaki now numbered over 150,000, with nearly fifty M-1A2 Abrams, dozens of APCs, and heavy artillery and howitzers; the artillery were deploying west of Tarasaki to shell Galdanian military targets in southern Naori, as well as outside of Makatashi.

Twenty-four submarines have been dispatched on Operation Drunken Clam, in which the subs will attempot to destroy ANY AND ALL Eredronian shjips heading to or from Naori.
---
The Zefyerens were just beginning to spread out when they eyed the shermans and Eredronian companies. They radioed their sightings in to Galdanian Red Army Command Post 36 in Takihido, and soon Boar stealth bombers, accompanies by Jackals, were sent out to bomb the party.

47 cruise missiles, each costing nearly 2 million U.S. dollers (if they had been made or bough through the use or money, which they weren't), were fired at Tarasaki and Makatashi. The missiles were at the vey least on par wqith the Tomahawks. At best, they were even better.
---
Galdanian battleships Noyastrazna and [i]Publiyankya[/] moved in to the Makatashi coastal area and opened fire with their enormous cannons. They were, of course, accompanied by 25 Jackal II's, which would provide backup to the Galdanian forces on the ground.

The Noyastrazna was one of the Galdanian Navy's finest ships, and certainly one of the largest. It had taken some time to produce, but the results were well worth it. It's huge 26 inch cannons pounded Makatashi, as Galdanian tanks moved to defend the rear. The Galdanian tanks were now spread out in a tight circle around the artillery, using what cover the battered buildings of Makatashi could provide to soften the enemy's blows. Still, reinforcements were oming in from the south. Nearly four thousand more men were schedualed for arrival at Makatashi. If possible, Leitenant Ama was to capture an Abrams tank for further reasearch, so that the Galdanian army could pinpoint the tank's weaknesses and possibly incorporate it into the Galdanian army. However, Leuitenant Ama was skeptical. She was well aware that Galdania's tanks were far superior to anything produced in Eredron.

OOC: Just a side-note - regardless of whether or not Galdania uses money, making those missiles would still cost the equivalent of US $2 million, because you still have to obtain and assemble the raw materials, and that requires whatever equivalent to money that Galdania uses.

From there patrol zone north of Naori, the four Virginia-class submarines slowly approached the two Galdanian contacts - large ships, judging by the radar screen. Cruising at 1/2 speed, the four submarines were all but invisible as they slowly journeyed towards their prey. After what felt like an eternity, the oppressive silence in the bridge was broken.

"Range to target," the captain of the lead submarine asked in a hushed voice.

"Fifteen miles," was the whispered reply.

The sonar pinged the two contacts at regular intervals, each time growing stronger.

As the submarines closed to four miles, they slowed to 1/4 speed. "Load all torpedo tubes," the captain instructed, just as the other three submarine crews were doubtlessly doing; no radio contact was to be made, except in the cases of extreme emergencies.

The two contacts - obviously battleships or some other immense vessels of war, did not appear to have detected the submarines as they passed within one mile.

"Slow to one-eighth speed." Now, but a few hundred feet away, the submarines waited almost at a standstill.

"Confirm torpedo status," the captain ordered.

"Confirmed; four torpedoes ready to launch."

"Fire tubes 1 and 2," the captain ordered.

"Torpedoes away!" came the almost shouted response.

From the four submarines came sixteen Mk 48 Adv. Heavyweight Torpedoes, all attached to the submarines by a thin wire; through this, the crew was able to direct the torpedoes at the targets, without having to worry about any countermeasures throwing the torpedoes off. Once the torpedoes were within a few feet of their target, the wires were cut.

"Dive the boat!" the captain ordered. "Make your depth six hundred feet! Increase to full speed."

"Aye sir," the XO said. "Depth six-zero-zero feet, speed 25 knots."

The submarines slowly gained speed as they passed deeper into the ocean, heading under their targets and beyond.

The smaller vessel was destroyed. It sank instantly. It had not fired a single shot.
---
The larger ship, Galdania's pride and glory, moved away from the subs, to the south. It had it's systems engaged, unlike Decoy-6.

Sixteen Galdanian subs closed in from the south, to annihilate the Eredronians.
---
"I Can't Believe It's not Butter. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Approximately VI after J, So my Rabbit is VII Years Old."
---
Eighteen missiles fired from SOuth Kevon's remote rural region, headed straight for the Eredronian fleet and Tarasaki. These ones were different from the incendiary ones, in that their warheads carried only high-ecxplosives. However, the missiles would no doubt be effective.

The remaining Galdanian 'battleship' dropped it's depth charges throughout the water; they knew the enemy was there somewhere.

OOC: These '2million' doller missiles are constructed in People's Labour Factories. The materials are all Galdanian/allied made, so the technical cost to our command economy is $0. There is labour 'costs' and the removal and refining of the materials is neccesary, but no actual money is expended in the process. In fact, since the Communist Workers are not paid, there is no loss except for the materials, as further stated. The greatest loss is really the man-hours of labour, as we do need men in the fields and fasctories making food and other goods.

Thank you for proving my point. Regardless of whether or not you use money, you still have to expend the things that money represents - materials, labour, etc. That you don't use money makes no difference.

Yes, there is not an endless capability to produce goods in galdania. We simply do not use a capitalist system or companies, therefore profits do not dilude any of the materials. Therefore, we do take some of the 'cost' off.

OOC: That may be, but you still have to expend resources to do what's normally done with profits - expand production lines, fund R & D, pay people, etc.

IC: Commander Matthew Kovar winced as he looked down from the windows of his advanced AWACS aircraft and saw the massive explosions tearing Makatashi apart - obviously from naval shells, as no tank carried weapons that big, and the trajectories were wrong for aircraft bombings. Scanning the radar screens, he saw he was correct - there were two massive Galdanian ships off the coast near Makatashi, the only ships he could see that could be responsible. He sent a blanket transmission to the the 15 of the 95 Razorwings under his command that carried anti-ship missiles.

"Squadron III, Squadron VI, Squadron VII, we have major hostiles off the coast, co-ordinates transmitted. Take 'em down, full spread. Over."

Affirmative responses came through from all three squadrons and the aircraft broke away from the main formation, heading for the two Galdanian battleships to unleash their deadly armament.

OOC: Along with some air-to-air missiles for use against other aircraft (four each), these particular planes are each equipped with six Harpoon-style missiles modified to hit missiles below the waterline, and two FAE missiles to cause general chaos among the targetted ships prior to the Harpoons arriving. Half the missiles will be launched from the aircraft, concentrating on the two battleships but with some targetting of the other vessels as well.

OOC: Oh, and before I can do a response to your counter-attack against my submarine (which is what it would be - a surface ship would never have gone close enough to use a torpedo), I need to know what kind of capabilities these NAK missiles and Skvall II torpedoes have.

The missiles were picked up on radar minutes after being launched. With all the countermeasures and anti-air defenses of over forty frigates, carriers, and other military vessels trained on the eighteen missiles, they had little chance of getting through.

Three escaped the AA defenses and reached their target; one hit an Oliver Hazard Perry Frigate's radio tower, knocking the entire structure off before exploding. Two others landed in Tarasaki, although one appeared to have not detonated. The other destroyed the Eredronian hospital established in the city, killing hundreds of medical personnel and patients.

The 'dud' missile was to be examined by bomb specialists after a short wait.

-----

The 15 Virginia-class Submarines assigned to protecting Task Force Phoenix were actively pinging the area, aided by the destroyers and other submarines in the fleet.

Eight Ballistic Missile Submarines surfaced, and launched twenty-four Tomahawk cruise missiles at air fields, hangars, and other military sites in south Naori. Thirty minutes later, a second missile attack was fired, with sixteen cruise missiles heading to hit Galdanian tanks and artillery in Makatashi.

----

From their rather concealed position west of Makatashi, the five MLRS Rocket Artillery Systems fired off their second volley, each unit firing 12 missiles. Fifteen Shermans had spread out in a defensive net around them with a dozen SAM/AA units spread around, while the other fifteen Shermans had gone ahead, even now reaching the Eredronian Abrams battling the Galdanian tanks; another ten Shermans were taking up position north of them, near the coast, with two thousand men and armored support.

Ten APCs had moved closer to the initial landing point of the enemy paratroopers, and found it empty; they now expanded their search of the jungle, aided by reconnaissance planes.

------

The twelve M-1A2 Abrams left, now aided by fifteen old Shermans, swept past the Galdanian tanks, firing as they passed; they circled away and returned for a second volley as the Shermans cut to the other side and hit them from an opposite angle.

With the Galdanian armored offensive appearing to have halted, Eredronian soldiers were moving to take the city again; eight thousand strong, the army swept southeast to take out any Galdanian supply line. Another thousand men began occupying buildings across the city.

The armored naval convoy carrying the Røde Panser IV tank/artillery detachment has reached the coast of Galdanian-controlled Naori. An encryped query is sent from the Scandinavian navy high command to the Galdanian central directorate, asking wether the troops should deploy, or kept off-shore in compliance with formerly-initiated ceasefires.

OOC: Galdania's tanks are far superior to any abrahms or shermans. Your tanks shouldn't last long.

The Skval II uses gas-bubble technology to make the missile glide effortlessly through water. It is as though it is going through air, and therefore it can arrive at the target before countermeasures can even be begun.

The NAK flies out of the water from the subs, as strikes ground or sea targets. In one salvo, 20-30 NAKs are fired. They're no overtly powerful, but their quantity is enough to wreak havoc. They're not too big, and they're fairly fast in the air.

IC:

Tomawahks were brought down all over the ocast; a few got through, but many didn't. An airfield was hit by the missiles, and a barracks in Takihido, without any personel in it. A Military meeting hall, also empty, was destroyed, and a collection of wooden dwellings outside the city was destroyed with civilians inside when a missile fell short of it's target.
One SAM tower was destroyed in the attack as well.

Red Scandanavian tanks rolled into Naori from their ships, as Zefyeren and Galdanian troops arrived on transports.

THe Galdanian tanks were gigantic compared to the tiny Shermans, and the Galdanians advanced while firing at the puny Abrahms and their associates.

Galdanian tanks came up from the south, attempting to pin down the Eredronians and surround them. However, fifteen Shermans rammed into the convoy, destorying two supply trucks. However, Galdanian tanks quickly mobbed the Shermans and began laying down fire, with the massive 150mm Yurgimov howitzer battle cannon in particular.

"Full Missile Strike Authorized. Eredronian Capital, accompanying bases, airfields, dark-priority targets. Launch Sequence B-K 12. Authorized by General Staz. Thirty-two minutes to the hour."
---
Thirty-two ICBMs flew out of the Yatspoyz missile base in Zefyrz. The base was then disassembled, leaving the buildings and other places in tact, but removing most computers and guidence systems. They knew Eredron would find the base and target it.

OOC: The missiles are incendiary-napalm warhaeds. They are designed to burn the ground, plants, animals, people, etc.. They are very large missiles, but are accompanied with anti-missile systems of their own. That it, they launch decoys and small 'bumping' missiles, designed to 'bump' incoming missiles off course.

OOC: How is it that your tanks are infinitely superior to the Abram?

OOC: How is it that your tanks are infinitely superior to the Abram?

Well, in this case, we are vastly superior in numbers. As well, we are a much older nation, with a more powerful economy. Not by much, but still, we have been around longer. Galdania has always had strong tanks. Our infantry could be better, but our tanks are where we shine.

OOC: I meant, what technology is on your tanks?

OOC: I meant, what technology is on your tanks?

Electric/methal-carbon engines, larger guns, reactive armour, anti-mine/bomb systems, built-in light anti-air missiles (not common on most tanks), and WideNet communications systems.

OOC: Larger guns? They both have 120mm cannons.

OOC: Larger guns? They both have 120mm cannons.

We have variety. MOst of our tanks have 120mms, a few have 150mm howitzer, they have special jungle/tropical adaptations, and several special systems.

The Skval II uses gas-bubble technology to make the missile glide effortlessly through water. It is as though it is going through air, and therefore it can arrive at the target before countermeasures can even be begun.

The NAK flies out of the water from the subs, as strikes ground or sea targets. In one salvo, 20-30 NAKs are fired. They're no overtly powerful, but their quantity is enough to wreak havoc. They're not too big, and they're fairly fast in the air.


OOC: Ok, I presume the NAKs would be pretty useless against subs, but the Skvalls would be lethal. I'll bear that in mind.

IC: "Admiral, we just lost contact with submarine Verity-12. Thier last transmission said theyw ere under taking fire from some kind of very fast torpedo."

Admiral Hoffman swore; a transport for a sub was not a good trade, not at all.

"Well, there's not much we can do at present. They should have enough reserve air to hold out for a while, assuming they weren't actually destroyed, so we can try to retrieve them once the Galdanians move away. For now, tell our submarine commanders to leave attacking transports to the surface ships unless they can overwhelm the defending fleet as well."

"Yes, Admiral, a wise decision."

As the young communications officer turned to relay Hoffman's message, the Admiral pondered the next move. He'd sent almost a hundred Razorwings to Makatashi, and they could be expected to turn the tide decisively. Now, what to do about everything else - the other two task forces were still a day or two away, but the Centralis ground facilities were complete, so they could begin oeprations in earnest.

'The first priority,' he thought, 'is to hold Makatashi. It's quite deep within Northern Naori, so cutting their supply lines shouldn't be too hard... time, I think, to call in the Raven Guard.'

* * *

"Mr. President, Admiral Hoffman is requesting permission to deploy the Raven Guard to interdict Galdanian supply lines to Makatashi. I'd say grant it; they're brilliant for that kind of stuff, and cutting off those lines would be a big help."

"I agree, Minister, tell him I said do it, and tell the Guard to move out. They should be airdropping in within a few hours."

As Minister Alvarex conveyed the authorisation to the Admiral, a loud siren suddenly cut through all other sound in the War Room. Missile Launch Detected.

"What's the target!?" Mordenhein screamed, trying to make himself heard. Looking up at the wall screen - which had now changed to a larger map showing the flight path of the missiles - he felt a momentary sense of relief; they weren't aimed at Centralis. They were, however, heading for Eredron, which was almost as bad.

"General Alvarex! I trust you ordered our ABM systems to shoot down anything that came from Galdania?"

"Yes, Mr. President! They'll fire as soon as the bastards get within range!"

We don't HAVE a space station lat alone something with lasers on it. We are MODERN tech, not a space nation with dozens of 'railgun spcae stations' :roll:

:?:

I have no clew what you are talking about.

IC: The spy sattelite Borby II watched Eredron from the heavens. They could see an airfield quite clearly near Eredron's largest city. It relayed the information to Galdanian Missile Command.

Six missiles went out to hit the target.

We do have Sturm-Lufften, but it is an intertwined ground and space system. The sattelites fire lasers to MISDIRECT missiles, not destroy them. They use various jamming techniques, but the ground force is what blows the missiles out of the sky.

Besides, how would you know where to look for ou sattelite? And if you did find it, how would you know it was ours? It looks just like any of the other countless thousands sent up by any nation in the NS world.

Yes, it's Anti-Ballistic Missile. And since I apparently did misunderstand the purpose of the lasers, I will remove that section of the post. Sorry about that.

EDIT: Has been done.

Besides, how would you know where to look for ou sattelite?

Well, if it's going to be useful, it would have to be in geostationary orbit over Galdania, or else an enemy could simply launch while it was on the wrong side of the planet - so that would give at least a general area. As for the rest - it would just have to be intelligence information and looking for it.

And if you did find it, how would you know it was ours? It looks just like any of the other countless thousands sent up by any nation in the NS world.

Well, if it had fired lasers to destroy missiles, as I thought, rather than merely misdirecting them, I would think that kind of stuff would be quite hard to disguise. Given what it actually does, however, you're quite correct.

Scoe one for the Commies! :twisted:
IC:

Galdanian tanks pushed up from the south, infantry moking encampments along the roads, handing out food to the impoverished people of Naori. Suppl routes were heavily defended, with mostly infantry holding them. Artillery were mounted in most of the places, with AT turrets constructed at major points. Camoflauged pillboxes were scattered around the jungle area, ready to take out any enemy soldiers that wandered too close to the supply lines...

OOC: Centralis, can one of your ships sink a civilian transport on it's way to Naori?

OOC: Centralis, can one of your ships sink a civilian transport on it's way to Naori?

Well, our civilians use the same transports as our soldiers. Big steel boxy ships. They would be civilian workers in Naori, going to Yakashima to build the city (more than it is so far).

Ah, right. Well, since our ships have standing orders to sink transports on sight, feel free to post something about that... just remember that after the loss of that submarine, it would be carried out from long range, by missile.

President Kit Ph'at has pledged to send troops in to Naori, in a speech from his office in Ph'nom Ph'et.

"We were the ones who were attacked by Naori, therefore it is only right that we launch reprisals against Naori. Therefore, we plan to send 100,000 men to Naori. They will assist our allies in taking over North Naori, and showing that Genya is not to be invaded!"

Message to Galdania:

We will send our troops to Murushima by boat. We will provide some light escourts for the short trip. We request that you watch the route carefully.

A Galdanian civilian transport, carrying 368 people, all civilians, was sunk by a Centralian missile. The ship's passengers were to be hospital staff and techers for Naori's new Universal Healthcare and Education system.

The missile sunk the ship, taking all the books, medicine, and other materials on board with it. It also took the lives of 169 promising young professionals, whose lives were never allowed to be devoted to the Naorian people.

Despite the prescence of clearly military vessels in the convoy, the civilian ship was directly targetted.
---
Kit Ph'at we will send out ships to make sure that the transports are ok.

The government of Centralis deeply regrets the death of civilians aboard the transport vessel sunk on it's way to Naori, and is willing to discuss paying substantial compensation to the victims and their families. However, we wish to most vehemently protest Galdania's actions in transporting both civilians and military personnel in identical vessels, making it effectively impossible to distinguish between them. While more care will be taken in the future to avoid such incidents, unless clear delineation between civilian and military vessels can be provided, the repitition of such tragedies is almost inevitable.

- Andreas Von Weiser, Minister for International Affairs

"Admiral, I just received a message from Fort Atrax. Genya has announced it's entry into the war, and is sending a large contigent of troops across the sea to Naori. The President wants you to have as many of them sunk on the way as you can."

"All right, tell them I'll do what I can. A few squadrons of Razorwings with anti-ship missiles ought to do it."

* * *

Approximately thirty minutes later, a circling group of 18 Razorwings accompanied by by a pair of tanker aircraft broke away from the fleet and flew overland, heading for the Genyan fleet on the other side of Naori. Their orders were to fly as high as possible to escape ground fire, and, when they reached the Genyan fleet, unleash every missile they had and obliterate them.

OOC: 12 of the Razorwings have nothing but anti-ship missiles - 4 FAEs and 8 standard - and the other six have nothing but air-to-air missiles, to defend the rest. The FAEs will be launched first, with the others fired afterwards so they will arrive after the FAEs detonate.

Battle Groups Guardian and Manifold have now arrived in Naorian waters and are ready for operations, along with the additional troops they brought with them. Centralis troop strength in Naori is now approximately 600 000, and more are being flown in presently. Ground offensives against Galdanian positions near Makatashi should be starting soon.

- Ministry of Defence Press Release

OOC:

The Red Scandinavia forces in Naori are as follows:

2400 disciplined infanterists in 3 Long Rifle detachments(that is, DVI-44 rifles, body armor and Igla-S sam systems. Also, each detachment has 3 tracked 155mm guns attached). Currently acting as a workforce helping southern Naori civilians rebuilding their cities. Can be scrambled and ready to a zone of conflict in hours, however.

500 T-34-DVI33 Main Battle Tanks. Essentially, the soviet classic T-34 souped up with modern reactive armour, and better sights and communications equipment. Currently travelling with the heavy Galdanian tanks for protection.

The Dominion and Principalities of Eredron views Genya's involvement in this dispute an act of open war against the homeland, and will take appropriate action to deprive the dictator Kit Ph'at of the ability to wage war.

--

Fifteen Tu-160E Blackjacks took off from the NRMC, heading to Naori at over 1300 mph. From an altitude of 50,000 feet, the strategic bombers approached the Galdanian artillery and tanks south of Makatashi, as well as supply lines coming from southern Naori.

After first firing almost two hundred RK-55 cruise missiles conventionally armed at the artillery located south of the city, the bombers dropped over 500,000 pounds of free-fall HE bomb, hitting not only the artillery but the stream of trucks, tanks and other vehicles supplying the Galdanian forces in northern Naori.

--

The eight Abrams tanks began heading west away from the Galdanian tanks; running low on both munitions and fuel, the M-1A2s were withdrawing behind the infantry lines of the Eredronian troops holding position there.

APCs moving through the jungle had encountered the Zefyrz paratroopers and engaged them in a series of fights throughout the jungle while reinforcements of 2,000 moved to block their escape.

In Tarasaki, over 200,000 soldiers prepared to move out as final preparations were made on the nearly 150 M-1A2 Abrams and other armored vehicles. Offensive action would take place following a confirmation of the orders from Military Command.

After ecieving a communique from Naori's Shogun, Galdania has agreed to cease offensive military action on behalf of the SOuthern naori people, hereby recognized as an independant people of an independant nation.

From this day forth, May 16th will now be recognized as Independance Day in Southern Naori.

Democratic elections will be slated for October 30th of this year. Until that time, Chairman Nuki Fujimora, Chairman of the Naorian Red Army, will be acting President of Southern Naori.

27 Jackal fighters intercepted the Razorwings, using guided missiles against their enemy. Galdanian ships (all specifically armed with anti-sub and anti-air weapons) fired what they could at the enemy, though most weapons were useless against the high-flying aircraft.

Jackal II fighters intercepted the Blackjacks, as all other Galdanian aircraft and greound forces withdrew into Southern Naori.
***Communication to the Nations of Eredron and Centralis:***
We request that your forces cease offensive action against our troops which have begun their permanent withdrawl from the Empire of Naori into the SOVEREIGN NATION of Southern Naori. The Empire of Naori has officially recognized the government of Southern Naori as legitimate, and Galdania will not stand for an attack on this independant state.

Genyan forces will be instructed to stay in Southern Naori, and to not attack the Naorian Empire. We will not let Kit Ph'at use Southern Naori as a staging ground for attacks on the Naorian Empire.

Cease all attacks on Galdanian and Galdanian alliked forces IMMEDIATELY.

Eredron has agreed to a temporary halt to our military offensives, but will not yet recognize the sovereignty and independence of a South Naori, nor will we declare an official end to hostilities; military forces will remain at high alert, and troop and vehicular reinforcements will continue to arrive, as Galdania has proven how worthless its promise is.

Furthermore, we demand that Kit Ph'at be delivered to Eredron, along with those members of the Galdanian government and military responsible for the missile attacks on Eredronian cities and the launch site of the Eredron Space & Exploration Agency. Furthermore, the leadership of the NRA must be relinquished to the government of Eredron to be charged for the bombing of our embassy and other non-military structures.

The Empire recognizes us. WHy shouldn't you? The Civil War is over. Our country is stable, the Empire is stable, Genya, Eredron and Galdania are stable.

When October comes, we will be gone as the Southern naorian government; the NRA, being a paramilitary force, has no place in democratic politics. We freed the People; now they have the freedom to decide what happens to them.
-Chairman Nuki Fujimora, NRA.

OOC: I assume Galdania and Southern Naori are the same player?

All offensive operations against Galdanian or Galdanian-affiliated forces have been put on hold, pending confirmation from the Naorian Shogun.

Heavy jamming from the Razorwings allowed them to escape the full force of the missiles, but this merely reduced the effects from total obliteration to heavy damage. Five of the six air-defence Razorwings were shot down, although three managed to launch missiles before being destroyed, and four of the twelve anti-ship aircraft were also lost. Fortunately, most of the pilots managed to eject, with seven out of nine pilots escaping and drifting down toward the sea on parachutes.

The remaining Razorwings let fly at their targets, the Genyan ships, before turning back, relying upon the FAEs and air-to-air rockets to cause enough chaos for them to escape.

OOC: This is all considered to be happening before anything was heard of this peace deal, so it shouldn't be an excuse to call off the deal. A total of 33 radar-guided air-to-air missiles were launched, and eight of the anti-ship Razorwings fired their full payload (one launched before being destroyed, the other three failed).

OOC: Um, right... and this has what relevance to this thread?

OOC:Sorry for delay, I have been away

The USSK must protest at firstly the escalation of the Naori situation-100,000 or so troops is a large amount for a nation that wished for "peace" quickly and blamed us for slowing down this process. Secondly we must protest at the involvement of Centralis, who as far as we can see has no agenda but a delight in destruction. This is not WWX. The Paratroopers of the 22nd KPR who were involved in operation Sunny Day are currently stationed in Murushima, performing peacekeeping and security roles. The squadrons of Su-27s and MiG-29s are also stationed further back in Galdanian held territory.

However, we are re-evaluating our military position and are considering the re-deployement of Kamerovian forces into more active roles.

So the punishment of war criminals does not constitute an 'agenda'? The defeat of flagrant aggression does not count as an 'agenda'? This is most interesting to learn - at least, it would be, if it were not coming from a nation which has aligned itself with those who fired incendiary weapons at Eredron's civilians and who walked out of a peace conference without even attempting to discuss matters.

- Minister Von Weiser

We may be allied with Galdania but that is not the only reason for our involvement. If we saw the cause as wrong we would not have backed Galdania-we are not puppets. As for "flagrant aggression" I suggest you have a look at the beginning of the conflict-the invasion of Genya. We do not wish for war with you or Eredron for that matter and we are willing to hold new peace talks, we may be able to persuade Galdania to be more thoughtful. For the good of the Naori people,

Comrade Machenzilek, Commisar of the Revolution, Leader of the USSK

Our delegate fled Eredon's talks for his own safety. We were not certain as to what actions Eredron was capable of.

We will now write on our civilian ships, in large yellow letters, the word 'CIVILIAN'. Though hopefully our ships will never again battle on the seas of Naori.

OOC: Naori telegrammed me saying that he would allow me to create 'Southern Naori' and run it's government OOCly. IC, we support them, but they are auotnomous.

Six Jackals were destroyed by the AA missiles, with four pilots ejecting.

Galdanian anti-missile weapons attempted to take out the missiles as they sped towards the Genyan ships.

We recognize Southern Naori as an independant nation, and they may have whatever military forces of other nations there, if they wish. We wish to have Eredronian and Centralian forces in our nation indefinately.

We have a peace treeaty in this 'civil war'.

Our goal is to secure an honorable peace; unfortunately, this goal was not shared by Galdania and its communist allies. By necessity we must condemn any increase in the military force in south Naori, and view it as a possible first step in a second sneak attack.

Our goal is to secure an honorable peace; unfortunately, this goal was not shared by Galdania and its communist allies. By necessity we must condemn any increase in the military force in south Naori, and view it as a possible first step in a second sneak attack.

Our forces are in Southern Naori; they are violating nothing. We have every right to be where we are, as Eredron has every right to be where it is.

We will make an agreement with Eredron: Both our nations will sign a formal peace treaty in Geneva, and cease hostilities against each other. Is this agreed?
(the signing wouldn't be RPed)

Eredron would not be opposed to the possibility of a peace treaty ending this conflict, provided that the following terms are included:

1.) Galdania agrees to pay full reparation for the damage caused by its deliberate and intentional military strikes against Eredronian cities and other civilian sites, including the ESEA launch area.

2.) Those officials responsible for the aforementioned war crimes are given over to Eredronian officials to be tried for their crimes.

3.) Those members of the NRA responsible for the Eredronian embassy bombing are allowed to be tried in Eredron's courts, and be held accountable for their terrorist actions.

We will consult with our allies before signing any treaty, to ensure their voice is heard in this matter.

While Plenzonia might have arrived to late to take place in the fighting, we feel a certain duty to aid our allies to help maintain this time of peace.

To begin with, we simply wish to try to maintain this cease-fire by pointing out a few factors.

First of all, a cease-fire is signed, not a full treaty of peace, therefore when the time exires in the treaty there is no binding reason to stop EITHER side from striking at the other, to avoid this maybe a more permanant treaty should be signed.

Second of all it's perfectly understandable that you are worried about a build-up of enemy forces, but the unfortunate fact is Southern Naori is now independant from Naori, and therefore anyone with Southern Naori's blessing could station troops there just as the same can be said for Naori proper. The use of troops for a sneak attack later is just one reason they could be there, peace-keeping, rebuilding and defending from foreign powers don't don't want to obey the treaty are all other, more practical reasons why outsiders would be allowed to station troops there.

Since Plenzonia's personal goal is to help Southern Naori prosper I would like to propose that a limited amount of foreign troops be alowed in Naori and Southern Naori, proportionate to each other so that neither force would be able to overwhelm the other? An agreement such as this would help to ease the paranoia of one side striking at the other, and allow each side to respectively rebuild their host-nations.

With that said, to ease tensions Plenzonia will not pour armed troops into Southern Naori but rather supply engineers and building supplies to help out those who might have been rendered homeless by the wars, and to improve the infrastructure in general to better aid civilian life.

Premier Vladimir Kaust
Benevolent Leader of Plenzonia

We concur with the suggestions of the Plenzonian Premier; whiole peacekeeping is all well and good, one does not normally need vast armies to do it. Foreign forces on both sides of the line should be strictly limited, and a large demilitarised zone should be established along the boundary line to prevent sneak attacks or violent incidents between soldiers from either side.

Eredron would support this stipulation.

Galdania supports a demilitarized zone, but we will keep whatever forces Southern Naori's government allows us to in their nation.

We agree to none of Eredron's terms. We cxould just as easily claim that Centralis is guilty of the same crimes for hitting our civilian ship, and Eredron's missile strikes on Galdanian civilian workers in Southern Naori.

A Galdanian agent has assasssinatewd our beloved Empress! We will not stand for this! Galdania will be punished!!!

You attempt to compare your deliberate strikes with the unintentional damage done to those civilian personnel in Naori? The incendiary bombs - perhaps more suitably called weapons of mass destruction - dropped over our cities caused hundreds of billions of Marks in damage, and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

EDIT: Double post - the forums are acting rather oddly at the moment.

We agree to none of Eredron's terms. We cxould just as easily claim that Centralis is guilty of the same crimes for hitting our civilian ship, and Eredron's missile strikes on Galdanian civilian workers in Southern Naori.

When you transport civilians and military in identical vessels, what do you expect to happen? While this doesn't make what happened any less of a tragedy, it does place it in an entirely different category from Galdania's deliberate firebombing of Eredronian cities.

From our sattelites, Eredron's military bases migh have looked just like their bourgeoisie mansions. :wink:

Ever hear the phrase 'Forgive and Forget'? :D

EDIT

Eredron is prepared to recognize the independence of South Naori following the signing of a peace treaty ending the state of hostilities existing between all powers involved, and the government of Galdania agreeing to pay 200 billion in reparations to the Dominion and Principalities of Eredron over a three year period.

Regardless of Galdania's opinions on this matter, we deplore Eredron's claims. The people of southern Naori are now free thanks to the valour and persistance of Galdanian military personnel. The Scandinavian forces in Naori will not cease hostilities on Eredron's selfish demands.

Galdania is willing to sign a peace treaty, however, we will pay nothing to the capitalist government of Eredron, which is already stuffed to bursting with it's vile 'money'.

ENIN
Eredron News & Information Network

The nearly 250,000 troops stationed in Imperial Naori have been placed on high alert status, following intercepted communications between known NRA members and unknown parties by the Military Intelligence Division. An unnamed MID official reported that several 'visible sites' were mentioned as possible targets of attacks, prompting an increase in security around major military bases and government buildings, and other locations of significance.

The terrorist group NRA is considered responsible for over a dozen insurgency attacks against Eredronian soldiers and Naori policemen, and is believed to be operating in southern Naori, where the group is protected by Galdania.

An state of war is officially in place with Galdania, although an informal cease fire has existed for a week.

While Galdania's government denies funding the NRA still operating in Northern Naori, some Southerners or rougue Galdanian military officers may be aiding the NRA cells in the North.

We will, of course, offer santuary to any NRA member or Northern Naorian who manages to cross the border.

ENIN

Although many remain skeptical, the Senate of Majorities ratified a peace treaty by 235-43, effectively ending the state of war that has existed with Galdania for months. Faced with the financial burden of maintaining a military force of over 250,000 troops while managing the governmental affairs of northern Naori, Consul Supreme McCallister approved resuming peace talks with the Galdanian government; after delivering the treaty to the Senate and urging its ratification, McCallister reaffirmed Eredron's commitment to the people of Naori, 'North and South', and promised that Eredron would maintain a presence in Naori.

Over a four month period, Eredron will scale back the size of its military force in Imperial Naori, with plans to leave 85,000 troops stationed in Naori, with the predominate military base being in Tarasaki. Governing authority is being turned over to Naori citizens((ie the player Naori)), with Vice-Admiral Greyes stepping down permanently as governor of the provisional government as soon as possible.

Private businesses are being awarded contracts to continue the development of Naori's infrastructure, while the Ministry of Commerce develops a plan to increase the number of goods capable of being exported from Naori.

A special military group dubbed Force Stryker has been assigned to deal with the NRA insurgency in northern Naori; working with local civilians and MID, Stryker is aimed at stopping NRA members from crossing into the North, as well as destroying known NRA bases of operation; reports from military sources confirm that over three hundred people have been detained on suspicion of NRA involvement.

...following the recent peace treaty between Galdania and Eredron, the Centralis government has announced that troop withdrawals from Naori will begin today. According to Ministry for Defence sources, most front-line combat units will be withdrawn, leaving behind a skeleton force to keep the military bases in working order...
