40 CVX Aircraft carriers

2/3 headed for Japan, the rest for Maropian Coast.

Keep in mind the 30 division Maropian Defense Forces, which I posted in the other thread.

Currently South Dalania will only be providing medical assistance, aircraft reconniassance and use of military bases to its AA allies as the government fears provoking missile retaliation against South Dalania itself. These forces will initially be placed at AA disposal:

-7th Medical Support Battalion (80 men)
-3rd Recon Air Wing (13 AWAC aircraft and 70 men)
-Naedong class hospital ship (350 man capacity with 60 man crew and 80 person medical staff)
-145th Civillian Engineers Unit (300 men)
-Black Dragon Volunteer Brigade (composed of 800 South Dalanian citizens who need to be armed by AA forces prior to their dispatch; note: not an official South Dalanian army force)
-Three naval bases located on Cheju-do Island
-Four airfields located on Cheju-Do
-Two garrison/quick deployment bases in southern South Dalania

However should war spill over into South Dalania, these units will be initially contributed with more to follow:

-2nd Air Corps (45 assorted fighter aircraft, 90 pilots, 40 ground crew)
-3rd Fighter Corps (60 assorted fighter aircraft, 115 pilots, 75 ground crew)
-18th, 20th, and 23rd Expeditionary Marine Battalions (1500 men total)
-13th and 20th Mechanized Infantry (100 APC's/Humvees each, 300 men each)
-Two Aegis class destroyers (crew of 150 each)
-Hanchung class missile frigate (crew of 85)
-8th Helicopter Wing (25 attack helicopters of Central Facehuggeria design with 50 pilots and 30 ground crew)

Depending on the scale of fighting, more units may need to be contributed, but only at the AA's discretion.

Edit: I didn't receive an official invite, but as an Asian Alliance member, I thought it would be relevant to honor my duties as an ally and contribute.

As a Bonstockian Ally, we are offering Bonstock the use of any of Roycelandia's Air Bases and Ports to assist them, as well as a squadron each of IAe Lancaster Bombers, IAe Sunderland Flying Boats, IAe AC-47 "Puff The Magic Dragon" Gunships, and IAe Kookaburra ground attack aircraft.

In addition, the 32nd Foreign Legion Division has "volunteered" to serve with the Bonstockian Armed Forces for the duration of this conflict, in an "Active Advisory" role.

We trust these will be of use to Bonstock...

No need too make another forum... I say we all post in the "Japnn adandons constitution; Miliitary spending up %400

The Government of Agrigento was quick to make a public announcement condemning the nation of Royceland for its support of Bonstock.

"The nation of Roycelandia has begun an ineviteable path to war, and has supported the evil, vile and despised act of imperialism upon a country already ravaged by war. This is a testament to the vileness in the world, the true darkness that we struggle to forget. While countries continue to commit such evil acts as imperialism we will continue to fight, and fight we will, often outnumbered, often outgunned, but never outwilled...

"I leave you, the people of Agrigento, and the world with a small bit of wisdom. These immortal words were first spoken by Mahatma Gandhi, and are to be repeated today, and forever henceforth by the valiant defenders of this great Country and her allies: 'When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.'"

The President finished his speech and millions of television sets across the country flashed back to their regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

The government of Hudecia, in accordance with its alliance with Xiaguo is immediately dispatching:

1 Nimitz Class Carrier
1 Iowa Class Battleship
5 Zumwalt Class Destroyers
5 Ticondera Class Destroyers
5 Mistral Class Docking Landing Ships (10 LCAC on board)

carrying:

50 F/A 18E "Super Hornets"

No problem :]

With the treat of war drawing ever closer, the island is in full combat mode. Reservists who were trained to fight against the Mainland Chinese are called into service, and military fortifications built in the cities and forests during the 5th Taiwan straits crisis 6 years ago are hastily cleaned and bought back into power. The major population centres are swarming with SAMs and conscripts.

AWACs and ASW aircraft begin constant patrols over important naval lanes.

OOC: Looks like some good RP's brewin'.

OOC: Looks like this is the one I'm going to be dragged into too... it's about time I honoured my alliance with other members of the NAIA... of course, I'm not an idiot, there will be IC comminications before I even think of mobilising a single man, but truth be known, my forces are already on high alert due to a western threat...

sigh... anyways, thought I'd give this thread a OOC warning so I can be warned if this isn't the thread I'm supposed to be posting in (you guys have soo many)... eitherway, don't worry about me.

The President finished his speech and millions of television sets across the country flashed back to their regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

The Roycelandian Empire respectfully reminds your Nation that we are merely honouring our Treaty Obligations with Bonstock and, as such, will not be engaging in direct military intervention at this time. Of course that could change, depending on how things go and whether or not Bonstock needs any further assistance...

The sun peaks out from beyond the horizon giving the port an ominous red glow. The deathly calm of the sea is broken only by the ripples from the nightly patrol boats.

Nevertheless, the HN Hclav (Nimitz class carrier) sails smoothly out of port, followed by its many support vessels. In the streets of the port city Pila, the deafening silence is shattered by the sound of tanks rolling down the street toward the docks.

Hudecian Broadcaster

"Early this morning the Hudecian Intervention Fleet set sail for Japan carrying the 1st Expeditionary Division. Our President, Tablus, has stated that he is willing to dispatch even more troops if necessary and has assembled the 2nd Amoured Division in Pila, awaiting the order to move out...."

OOC: Fleet will arrive in 2 RL days (fair enough?)

OOC:WOAH WOAH WOAH! Xiagou that map is messed up... maybe you didnt notic but I and Bonstock also control Tokyo and Yokohama.

tag

Alright, I will try updating it until all of us have agreed.
More Suggestions? I will updfate when I have seen no more suggestions or comments..and including commplaints.

I have added more AA territory for their building of ports and routes. Also for better movement.

Also, like we said in Japann Thread. During the war, we know you have been primary control over Japann. However, international forces has already begun occupying the area.Tokayo should be a full of different armies. The city is also ravaged by casualties done by the millitary by all nations. The newly put (for now) government of Japann is weak and has also allied to the Asian Alliance. Tokyo so far has no comment of wether to join the war on AA's side against Bonstock and Red Tide. Nor becoming neutral.

Xiaguo declares war on Red Tide as of today.

OOC:WOAH WOAH WOAH! Xiagou that map is messed up... maybe you didnt notic but I and Bonstock also control Tokyo and Yokohama.

OOC: Sino controls the line just above Sendai.

OOC:WOAH WOAH WOAH! Xiagou that map is messed up... maybe you didnt notic but I and Bonstock also control Tokyo and Yokohama.

OOC
most of the territory there is held by me, not agrigento. I cant think of anything ICly to say, and i dont feel like posting pix of my pretty leaders, despite what Bonstock likes to see (but i'll post later).

Oh and i have small amounts of troops in Hokkaido.

A single SO:FA Fantasma was gliding effortless through the atmosphere. Its powerful engines were already shut down, and all traces of thermal heat were eliminated much earlier in the flight path. It continued on its path over Tokyo, activating its ARCangelo system. Active Stealth was working at full efficiency, and passive stealth was preserved thus far. Hopefully that would last until it completed its mission.

Of course that could change, depending on how things go and whether or not Bonstock needs any further assistance...

"Do your treaty obligations include the support imperialism?" Vice Premier Park Hyemin asked. "War is a matter of grave concern to the state; it would be best for all of us involved if you carefully thought over ur commitments and limited them to medical personnel only.

"We do not want the possibility of open warfare between someone who is only supporting obligations."

I'll make a communication tomorrow... I'm a little tipsy right now and I don't think I've got the information I need to look up just yet...

The Map So far has not been edited yet. I have just took it down for some more additional stuff.

Xiaguo's mobilised army takes place in first rebuilding manypublic buildings and cities in Hokaido. Also, Xiannese engineers have also began rebuilding the old Missile Structures and buildings constructed during the war in Japann. We can very well call this war, Sino-Japannese war II.

Xiannese Navy has regrouped near the Sea of Okhotsk and turns its way toward Niigata.

The first big millitary plan is to raid North-Western Honshu to expand the Northern Honshu front lines. Xiaguo request any help necessary. We will need some backup from any Airforce necessary. We also need 1more Hospital ship as one of our Hospital ships was proven to have some problems in the electric gridding.

Wu Tse Min and Generalissimo Yeh Zhao Feng will arrive in Sapporo, Hokkaido to rally the morale of the millitary. New shiptments of Tomahawks has arrived in the port city of Sapporo waiting for the Traflagor submarines to have the missiles loaded in.

After Xiannese had learned Red Tide was funding their war by seising Japannese artifacts and treasures. Also especially in The Buddhist Temples looting the Buddhist Statues and gold ornaments.

We will file that as one of the War Crimes/Looting.

Xiannese Defense Department asks everyone not to loot. I have conducted a order on the Xiannese Defense Department to have all soldiers learn that, If you see any soldier even another nation's, even allied nations', break a rule that harms the lives of Japannese, harm their treasury, harm any kinds of artifacts and treasures. Warn them not to do that. If they keep doing what they are doing. Shoot them at the spot.

Also, we however at war with Bonstock thank them for having Red Tide return the objects stolen in the Japann War 400% forum.

Special News Break
*Channel One News

We interrupt the live broadcast of the Australian Open to bring you the results of the inquiry into the murder of a Taiwanese ambassador while in Xiaguo. President Chen will be delivering the reults live shortly.

The camera pans to the Presidential Palace.

"Before the results of the inquiry are released, I would remind the Taiwanese people that this is the first ever death of a Taiwanese citizen to a terror attack. The perperators of this cowardly attack shall be hunted down. Their places of refuge will be destroyed. They will not be able to hide. They will reap what they have sown."

A spokesman takes the stage.

The use of a biological weapon by Red Tide, notably Anthrax, was observed by Taiwanese news reporters during the war on Japann. The strains were analysed and compared. Thus we have a perpetrator: The nation of Red Tide."

and now we return to live coverage of the Australian Open.

Wow Red Tide's forces have hit a new low; they loot things too, and have shown themselves to be a bunch of bloodthirsty b***ches, not unliike the Mongols our ancestors fought against years ago. At least Bonstock isnt... undisciplined. Say what you will, but you wont see their forces killing rampantly.

conchville will strike you now....

boom boom boom

3 nukes, all on target, your all dead

you sad mofo's

peace out

Hudecia will support Xiaguo's advances by making land tomorrow on mainland Honshu. Also, the 2nd and 3rd Expeditionary Divisions (10 000 troops) will be flown in as soon as possible to a safe airbase by C-130 and Airbus.

-Pacific Ocean--HN Hclav- 1230 hours

Commander Kimura strained his eyes toward the faint spot on the horizon that was Japan. "tadaima!" he whispered softly. (I'm home!).

The Armed Republic of Sino is considering to support _Taiwan and Xiaguo.

OOC: What are the sides in this mess? Who's fighting who?

===============================================

A lone Sinoese WZ-9 helicopter whirred overhead. It flew past quickly, merely a patrol. General Liu, unrecognizable in full BDUs posed as a sergeant as he leads a platoon across central Ishinomaki (a city north off Sendai). The line had been held overnight but the insurgents kept coming back, penetrating Sinoese defenses to conduct their endless sabotage and guerilla activity. Those unfortunates were caught at dawn, tried by noon, shot by dusk and their bodies strung up by the wrists on lampposts at night. But the pattern is too repetitive, there is just too damn many. With over two million Sinoese troops stationed in their zone of occupation, fighting insurgency should not be a problem.

Ishinomaki: 1624 Hours

The winter sun sets early over the horizon, it was beginning to lower, for it has done its share of domination of the day. A platoon of infantry had unloaded from their vehicles and now advance quietly towards an abandoned set of apartments believed to be held by Japannese insurgents. Surrounded by all sides and with artillery and air support the Sinoese troops were to capture it and collect some much needed INTEL on anti-Sinoese insurgence in the area.

The silence of twilight was shattered by the bombardment Sinoese Type 84 (82mm) mortars PF98 (120mm) anti-tank 'recoiless rifles'. Followed by the Japannese cracks of rifle fire. With their heavier defenses softened, two companies from each direction moved in.

A heavy fight broke out as neither the Sinoese nor their Japannese enemies were willing to give in. General Liu with his Type 95 assault rifle (fitted with a 4x telescopic sight), takes aim at a few Japannese shooters at the higher storeys. Sinoese troops moved up the building. Over forty minutes had passed and the fight stopped. General Liu moves in to inspect the results. Bodies and shattered concrete littered the scene.

"Sir, it looks like the leaders have gotten away." A lieutenant saluted and reported. They stood near a pile of rubble of a partially collapsed floor, amongst the broken concrete was the body of a Japannese woman, buried and crush beneath the waist but still screaming and shouting insurgent slogans.

General Liu decides to ignore the lieutenant for now as he moves closer to the woman. He reached for his .45 and removed his helmet. He looked into the maternal but defiant eyes of the enemy, another lousy Japannese housewife trying to be a hero.

"You never thought that you will die in my hands, did you?" He said in Chinese before pulling the trigger. Screaming and cursing concluded as the bullet smashed her skull.

"Sir, about the escape. They've left here hours before." The lieutenant thought it was right to continue, expecting a fierce backlash from the General.

"We'll worry about them later. Right now, we've got bigger fish to fry." His eyes darted from the face of the lieutenant to a large hole smashed across the southern face of the apartment. He looked towards the darkening horizon. The General did not need to yell at his subordinate.

“Our position here is being challenged.” He turned to the lieutenant and explained before making his exit from this storey.

That's F.U.B.A.R.! It'll be too slow, Huanghe JN252 ( http://www.sinodefence.com/army/transport/jn252.asp ) have a capacity of 5 tons but a max. towing load of 18 tons, that why they're used for towing ICBMs in the Chinese 2nd Artillery Corp.

It might be more suited if we get one JN252 and just use it to tow three other trucks. LOL!

Sorry Sino, wasn't sure who's side you were on. I'm also not sure who's side Iuthia is on too.

OOC: Bonstock, don't mean to be a party pooper, but my original fleet plus 10 Halifax class destroyers and 5 AOR transports will arrive off the Northeast shore of Honshu soon; in between Sendai and Chiba. What kinds of coastal defences would we face? Just want to know so I can properly RP it...

Actually, the US uses this truck with great effectiveness. And no, it is not slow. But it sure beats the best terrain. And Japan has some pretty bad mountains which make conventional supply lines difficult. Enter the monster trucks.

Sorry Sino, wasn't sure who's side you were on. I'm also not sure who's side Iuthia is on too.

The asian alliances side... it's just I've been really god damn busy with GF tonight... so I've been posting on and off all night. But put me in on yours, I'll probably come in with a reasonable force to make this simple.

ooc: Don't even worry, we have all been there.

ooc: Did Taiwan ever declare war on me? If so, I might as well "get this show on the road."

Maropian Coast, Bonstock

The task force with 40 RO/RO ships landed the equipment of the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Infantry Divisions (Mechanized). Personnel were waiting to meet with the equipment, and joined the already entrenched Maropian Defense Forces, and the auxiliary guerrilla style Maropian Guards who wandered the streets looking for spies. Anyone suspected of working for the Taiwanese was shot. This was Bonstocknian territory, and the people Bonstocknians. Though Taiwanese by decent, and Taiwanese by geography, they strongly influenced the culture of Bonstock, along with the hundreds of millions of their kin who lived in Bonstock proper. They were willing to die for the Fatherland of Bonstock.

The divisions rolled forward, to the great relief of the Maropian Guards performing Operation Eastern Sheild, the defense of Maropian borders from a possible Taiwanese attack. The divisions were set to spearhead an assault deep into the Taiwanese mountains, and take Taipei.

Thousands of JAS 39s patrolled the skies, ready for any threat, Islandian or Taiwanese, and ready to strike deep at any moment, and blind Taiwan's abilities to defend itself.

The borders closed, and the only Maropians outside Bonstocknian territory were the thousands of BSS agents who had accumlulated in Taiwan's cities over the years. They blended perfectly with the local populace, and knew the territory well. They would prove invaluable when war came.

Taiwan has now 20 hours to respond. Or die.

ooc: Next time you post, if its not a "I agree to your terms" post, we WILL terminate your nation. And you don't have much time for anyone to help you, since I won't have to invade your coasts.

ooc: c'mon...Taiwan will not fall that easily.... Especially not with the amount of support they have in the area. My planes are well within strike range of Taiwanese territories. You think too highly of yourself.

Port Yuko, Bonstock proper
Riksdag chamber

"People of Bonstock," a man in a uniform, undoubtedly adolphus, "We have given our allies a second chance to reconcile. Yet still, they choose the path of violence over our supposed imperialism, which was simply honoring our commitment to their alliance. Now that events have come to this, and our 48 hour deadline has worn out, I ask the Riksdag for a vote on war with East Islandia, Hudecia, Xiaguo, and Agrigento. In 16 hours, if there is no response from _Taiwan, I will ask for a declaration of war on them too. We did not seek war, but since it is forced upon us, we will do whatever is in our power to acheive total victory. Bonstock will not fail."

"It is at this time taht we must rise as a nation, from the ashes of our recent civil war. Now is the time for forgiveness, for unity, and for all Bonstocknians to seek one common goal: Supreme and unconditional victory in the Pacific! All of Bonstocknian society will produce for this one common cause. Our labor force will unite to give arms to our comrades overseas. Maropian Coast will be perticularly desperate, and will need all the help we can give it. But we will pull through. I see a day with the shadows of our civil war behind us. I see a new Bonstock, united for one common cause. Hail Greater Bonstocknia! May the fates be kind to our destiny! The die is cast in Asia, and if we rise together, we will defeat all adversaries, face any challenge, overcoma any obstacle, and secure our place in the world. May Bonstock rise! May Bonstock rise! May we rise for all eternity, or die as one!"

The crowd cheered, and the vote was almost unanimous. Bonstock was in a state of war with East Islandia, Xiaguo, Hudecia, and Agrigento. And in 16 hours, perhaps with _Taiwan, Bonstock's traditional ally.

A message was sent to the leaders of the nations. It was simple, and to the point.

You have chosen war.

OOC: Before I go to bed and post tomorrow (I hope) I had better just say that I'm amazed that I'm on the same side as Sino...

OOC: not ICly

"General Zhang, what do you suggest? How does our military look?"
"Militarily we are nearing full mobilisation."

With in excess of a thousand aircraft in the air on patrol with AWACS and more aircraft being removed from the Kaohshing storage facility, Taiwanese air superiority seemed likely.

Major industrial complexes were by now 92% covered by hundreds, if not thousands of Patriot SAMs. A deployment of air units to Sino was also delayed to provide extra aircraft for defence.

The next move authorised by President Chen was the shutting off of the Maropian Coast's water supply. Without fresh water, the resistance would not last long. (OOC: In R.L, Taiwan relies on the mainland for water supplies)

The activity near the border was now beginning to drop off. There is also activity at the Tainan naval base.

Taiwan will not be blackmailed into fighting against her alliance. All relations with Bonstock are severed as of now.

The next hours would be tense.

From Kaoshing, a large battilion of aircraft consisting of one Raptor squad (12 if I remembered right), one F-16T wing, and three A-380s take off and begin heading north.

OOC: Want a new thread for the taiwanese front?
OOC2: Need a map of Taiwan?

I think we all should stay in this thread. I have a huge sum of threads to look at and don't want to look back and forth. Bonstock, post it here. Japann Thread has been finished and we continue it here.


As if you gurantee that you will attack _Taiwan, Our missiles from the Mainland especially Hanren, will destroy many or damge your ships terribly. As _Taiwan has opened its port for many of our ships to refuel and restock supplies, There is suppose to be a huge force of ships from nay Nations.

Xiannese Navy with Air support from Sino blockades the North-Western Part of Hoshu and attacks the coastal barricades and defenses repeatedly. Many targets have been achieved but a slight stormed had gone up causing some trouble at manuevering and missed some targets. Xiannese troops have also been deployed in 2 Points. Hokaido and Northern Honshu. Numbering about 700,000 have been mobilised in Northern Honshu and awaiting Allie's Decisions.

Would anyone support a Chinese New Year Cease Fire?

"Xiaguo said it there, and I will say it again," Premier Park Hyemin stated firmly. "We unilaterally support Taiwan, and any further action by Bonstock to undertake aggressive manuevers against Taiwan will escalate into total war.

"And the Lunar New Year is not just Chinese; it is something celebrated by all of Asia. With Taiwan's permission, I would like to grant our steadfast allies ninety J37S9 interceptors and a hundred SSX1 MBTs, our most advanced tank, as well as a training regiment."

The elite Forty Second, Twenty fifth, and Thirty First Advanced Fighter Divisions have been moved to staging bases in PRC China and Mainland China, a stone's throw across the Taiwan strait from the island, over which so much rests. More forces will be deployed to Taiwan if the President of Taiwan, the honorable Chen Shui-bian allows it.

-0800 hours- northeast of Honshu-

A Bonstockian JAS 39 squadron on patrol spots the Hudecian landing fleet. Immediately relays position and heading.

-0805 hours- Hudecian Landing Fleet-

"Radar is picking up incoming boggies sir!" The radar officer yelled to the captain of the HN Hclav.

"Scramble two squadrons of our Super Hornets and get one of the squadrons in the air to deal with it." The captain replied anxiously.

The Hudecian landing force had arrived, and Bonstock now knew it.

-0845 hours- Hudecian Landing Fleet- Northeast of Chiba-

"Scramble all our remaining fighters, begin landing the 2nd Armoured Division and 1st Expeditionary Division." Commander Kimura sat down in his command chair in the ToJCP (Theatre of Japan Command Post) on board the HN Hclav. He had not received any intel from his sources on land, many of whom worked for Bonstock. Many of his friends were risking their lives to pretend to be collaborators with Bonstock, but then again, Caucasians fell easily for pretty Japanese girls.

The New Year Offensive

-0915 hours-

As the LCAC crafts raced toward the shore, the few shore guns were silenced by the HN Koizumi's guns. Several of the smaller destroyers supported, firing tomahawk missiles at bunkers and other targets identified by Japanese partisans. Enemy fire claims 15 lives and wounds 27 more.

The beach is firmly in Hudecian control and troops from the 2nd Amoured Division begin driving inland with air support from Blackhawk helocopters
and Hudecian aircraft.

"That was easy," Captain Smetka remarks to the Commander.

Kimura remains silent. Something was wrong, where were the enemy fighters? Their tanks? What had they missed?

-1000 hours- 3 km inland from shore-

The M1A2 Abrams from the 2nd Armoured Division get into a heavy firefight with units from 2 different Mechanized Divisions from Bonstock. Relaying back this information to the Command Fleet, they halt their advance, puzzled by the existance of so many different Divisions in one spot.

Casualties: 36 dead, 121 wounded, 3 M1A2 tanks destroyed, 5 disabled, 2 on fire.

Tokarev forces, commanded by Islandian Admiral Akasuzu Sachiko, have begun offensive strikes at enemy positions on the beach. Missiles were launched, torpedoes fired, and blood shed.

H9s, Tu22MEs of the 6th Independent Strike Division begin airstrikes on reinforced beachheads held by Bonstockian forces. J37s and J16s from nearby carriers provide air cover against any JAS fighters or strike planes.
***********

On the southern front, WZY531S9 fighting vehicles, SSX1 MBTs, and Type 98S9 tanks of the THird Lancers Division and the Eighth Guards Armored Division advance northwards, the assault commanded by General Yuzawa Risaako.

MLRS rounds, artillery, and satellite guided munitions slam into Bonstockian positions at the front. The new 155mm air mobile artillery piece jointly developed with a few other nations are deployed with speed and precision, raining attacks on enemy positions.

Partisans step up activities in occupied Japan, striking military facilities, roads, railroads, but leaving water and most electric facilities intact. Pamphlets are posted and condemn all collaborators, as well as Bonstock's lady friends who seem to be all too eager to accept their offer of a bed in exchange for information.

Once again, collaborators will be shot.

Buoyed by confidence from the successful landing in Japan, President Tablus mobilizes the 1st Infantry Division and 3rd Amoured Divisions as well as the 2nd Naval Task Force. All army units are put on standby.

total:
10 000 troops (heavily armed, with mortars)
250 M1A2
50 Mobile SAMs
50 assorted towed artillery pieces
100 APCs
5 "New AOR" class transports
5 Halifax class destroyers
1 LHD Amphibious Assault Craft (with 3 LCACs)


Meanwhile the 2nd and 3rd Expeditionary Divisions (10 000 troops) begin to fly in to Sapporo.

OOC: Sorry, dont have the weapon/vehicle stats with me right now, I'll post them later if anyone wants them.

Men and women, do your part to fight the invasion!! Say no to Bonstock and Red Tide!! Say yes to our kindred from Islandia, who will help restore our pride and dignity through democracy and nationalism!

And men, shame on you for letting your daughters, wives, sisters sneak out to join the Bonstockians in their filthy beds! Restore your pride by restoring Japan!!

********

Reinforcements in the form of three divisions have arrived from staging bases in Okinawa, by way of sea and air, with all available planes and ships commandeered for transportation and brought to Kyushu under heavy fighter and naval escort.

THe elite 1st Rangers (Pathet Cong) Brigade and 34th Guards (Sukiya) Division have arrived via bases in Mainland China, and have joined hte northward offensive spearheaded by the 8th Guards Armored Division (Haka) and the Third Lancers Division, and followed by the Eighth Guards Assault Division, Twentieth, Thirtieth, Fifty First, Eightieth, and Ninety Second, and Tao Guards Assault Divisions.

A message is sent to President Chen.

You have chosen war

Offshore, at the exact same time, the arsenal ship FRBV Grossbonstocknia salvos 600 hypersonic cruise missiles at Taipei. Two more arsenal ships do the same. Then 24 submarines entered Taipei harbor, unleashing all of their guided torpedoes at ships in the harbor, aiming for naval ships. A full wing of new JAS 39Cs (upgraded version better then Raptor; supercruise, fancy electronics, supermaneuverability, 54 of them), rise to intercept the Taiwanese fighters. Then twenty full wings left, attacking all Taiwanese production facilities, communications, and radar facilities. Then they went back to Maropian Coast to rearm and refuel, and then go after any military target around Taipei.

The they stopped, after taking 17 fighters destroyed by SAM sites around Taipei and other cities.

Bgonstocknian Gripen-Cs fly up to intercept the Hucendia transports in one wing, firing all or their missiles at the targets.

ooc: When is the Chinese new year? We could "negotiate" a ceasefire. Perhaps have room for negotiations to end the war.

H9s of the Shoto detachment immediately begin airstrikes on Bonstockian cities. Meanwhile, J37s, J16s, and J10NX5s based in Mainland China, PRC China, and on carriers offshore immediately begin extended range air patrols over Taiwan.
Meanwhile, catamaran ships of the Second Flag's First Echelon Naval Force based around the East China Sea immediately begin anti-air and anti-submarine duties.

Strike catamarans immediately begin launching hundreds of SSN22 Sunburn cruise missiles, Type 500 scramjet missiles, and Type 400MRS1 extended range cruise missiles at the arsenal ships. Four Sea Dancer class submarines and three Imperial Dawn class submarines (all attack) launch spreads of torpedoes at the Bonstockian arsenal ships.

Anshu SAM missile batteries in Taiwan from the Sino-Japann War fire hundreds of salvoes of the advanced SAM, better in performance than the French Asters (reputed to be the best missile in the world) at the incoming Bonstockian fighters.

Five Zhou class SSBNs, stationed in and around the Taiwan strait, behind offensive missile warfare (conventional warheads, of course), and launch scramjet missiles at Maropian Coast's powerlines, roads, military facilities.

Amidst all this, a sixth Zhou class submarine quietly approaches, with twenty Islandian Navy Sea Dragons aboard, prepping for infiltration in Maropian Coast.
*************

J37S9 planes flying CAP over the Hudecian fleet spot the distinctive Gripens, and level for them, firing LRAEM/As and ASXs at the enemy fighters from extreme range, before closing to fire SRAEM/As and R73s.

*******
To mark the Lunar New Year, several hundred partisans participated in raids all across the country of Japan, targeting prisons, supply depots, and the Bonstockian soldiers and their not-so-numerous girlfriends. Of course, sleeping with the enemy was treason, so.....
That was that.

OOC
Lunar New Year (Azn New Year) is tommorrow the 22nd of January

The half dozen Halifax class destroyers protecting the transports and open up on the wing of fighters and their missiles. Launching a dazzling display of anti-air and anti-missile fire.

The 9 fighters from the HN Hclav, constituting the air shield, launch missiles at their targets; the Bonstockian fighters closing in.

However, the surprise assault took the combined Hudecian and Tokarev fleets off guard.

The Mistral class transports, although armed, could not shoot down all the missiles. One slammed in HN Praha's flight deck (Mistral class Amphibious Assault Ship), incinerating a Blackhawk helicopter and its crew and tearing a fiery hole in the deck. Another struck the command tower of HN Bohemia, lighting the entire command on fire.

The AOR class ships were sitting ducks however, two missiles tore through the light armour of the one and set the lower decks aflame. Another punched a hole in the hull of a second just below the waterline, causing the ship to list to its one side, as the deck filled with water. A third had its hull turned into swiss cheese by repeated blows and quickly sank out of sight.

A Halifax class destroyer was the next to be hit as the barrage continued. With the front of the ship was ablaze, the crew desperately pumped water to keep the ship afloat and put out the flames.

Blackhawk helicopters from HN Hclav hover around the damaged ships evacuating survivors.

total casualties:
1 AOR transport sunk
1 AOR being evacuated - sinking fast -
1 AOR ablaze - still seaworthy -
2 Mistral Class AAS, damaged but still operational
1 Halifax class destroyer ablaze and being evacuated - sinking fast -
23 M1A2 Abrams lost
231 dead
110 injured
9 missing

Spyran naval vessels observe the evolving Japann situation from positions in international waters, Sea of Japan.

[OOC: Or, in other words, *tag* .]

Update:

At sea:
13 Hummers confirmed destroyed or beyond repair
1 LCAC out of commision
8 missing found dead
1 AOR ship sank after evac
1 Halifax class destroyer sank after evac
1 AOR ship fire extinguished, going to nearest friendly port for repairs

OOC: Sorry, just to be clear, my fleet is in the Pacific Ocean. Can't land to the northeast of Chiba if I was in the Sea of Japan.

"Sir, sketchy reports of Hudecian landings."

"Drive II Corps into them. Drive them back to the sea."

"But sir, no one knows II Corps is there! We cannot blow our cover."

"Operation Adrianople Viking can wait. Tommarrow is a ceasefire."

"All right. I'll send in the forces."

Bonstock agrees to a ceasefire marking the Lunar New Year.

Partisan raids were met with machine guns and pinpoint artillary. 15 Bonstocknians wounded, but none killed.

Meanwhile, the 5 divisions of II Corps make a semicircle around Hudecia's landing areas. Submarines move off the coast, and start to engage the ships off the coast. JAS 39Cs fly up, and strike targets of opperatunity. The divisions wait, and the 155mm howitzers open up with a defening barrage, with a total of 360 guns trained to pinpoint accuracy, firing at a rate of 30 a minute for a full half of an hour.

Shore defenses are beefed up in Maropian Coast, with machine gun emplacements and artillary pieces manned well. Mines and obstacles litter the area, making the Atlantic Wall look like a child's playtoy. Similar bunkers lined the borders with Taiwan. But there was a problem: Maropian Coast was running out of food. With the fishing fleet in port and no rice from Taiwan, Maropian Coast was on the verge of economic collapse.

Laser defenses and electronic jammers engage the missiles inbound, but Maropian Coast is thrown into darkness. Of course, there was a blackout anyway, with only government buildings powered by generators operational.

One arsenal ship is damaged, but laser defenses prove invaluable. Though once thought of as unrelieable, the ships got through, in time to reload and fire off a salvo at tha catamarans.

Posters are taken down by guards, and anyone putting up a poster is told to show what it is, or be arrested. The military says it is "for the prevention of obstencity." The men still dress in Japanese uniforms, and spend their time learning Japanese.

In Maropian Coast, there was not enough vodka for a full New Year's celebration. People drank water instead, though the supplies were being drained. Literally.

In Bonstock, high alititude fighters make routine combat air patrols high above major Bonstocknian cities. SAM sites are fully operational, and and Airborne Laser system stands ready to intercept missiles and hypersonic bombers.

Two Gripens were shot out of the sky by the East Islandians. The pilots were both rescued. The fighters turned and fired back. More came up to join the fight.

Another flight of Gripens move to destroy the ships offshore, firing anti-ship missiles at extreme range. Destroyers come in, and fire off hundreds of hypersonic missiles at the transports.

The Riksdag declared a state of war on _Taiwan.

The Bonstocknian government, pressured by Maropian Coast, offered some concesions. Bonstock would agree to withdraw from Japan, leaving only one division and some air support, along with a naval detachment. If that were to happen, however, Bonstock would be placed in charge of creating a new Japanese self defense force, and of rebuilding Tokyo and central Honshu. And all other powers were to have no more then one division in Japan.

A ceasefire was scheduled for 12:00 midnight, January 22, until the end of New Year celebrations. A new round of diplomatic talks were proposed, with the Bonstocknian peace offer.

Bonstocknian special ops personnel infultrate Kyushu and southwestern Honshu, spreading dissent against East Islandians. They gather a band of disgruntled followers, with promises of a new Japanese empire should they drive out the East Islandians.

The same is done in Hokkaido and northern Honshu, and partisans are gathered to raid supply lines, and make it difficult for any movement. Anti-tank missiles are handed out to partisans, who stage numerous ambushes on Agrigentan and Xiagou tank convoys. Then they disappear into the woods. They provide intelligence for Bonstock, and await the promised strenghtneing of Japan should Bonstock be allowed in to aid them.

ooc: I should have thought about this before...

Agrigentian Occupational Forces, those seperate from the First Theatre Operational Maneuver Group (OMG), have begun an aggressive Mission of Mercy campaign. Reconstruction of the Northern areas of Honshu and Southern Hokkaido - where my northern forces reside - as well as Okinawa and the southern regions - where my southern forces reside - has begun. The first thing to be restored was police and essential services. Electricity, water, food stocks, and basic sanitation were already set up in the days and weeks immediately following the occupation. Attention is being received primarily by Law enforcement and the legal system.

A Bonstocknian special ops force in northern Honshu gathers a large partisan force, and hands them submachine guns. 15,000 of them are ammased, along with 75 105mm artillary guns parachuted by Bonstock. Pickup trucks move the light guns, and they are put into position near the town of Sendai. The men are divided into 5 brigades, one artillary, one support, and three infantry. The artillary is told to pound the city of Sendai, after which two of the brigades take the city while the other goes and takes the airport. Crates of ammunition are flown in by Bonstocknian C-5 cargo planes, along with food. The troops are told that they will be seen as liberators, being Japanese and not Bonstocknians like those who took Tokyo. Though with almost zero training, the special ops men show them how to use SMGs and artillary pieces. They are told how to target with the guns, so that they do not hit civilians.

The preliminary artillary barrage is quick but heavy. 25 of the guns train on troops near the airport, while the rest shoot for the city. A Gripen flys over, dropping a leaflet bomb. Leaflets saying "Rise up against the Chinese invaders! Make Japan strong again!" fall all over Sendai. The artillary barrage lasts 30 minutes, and the crack crews, with assistance from the Bonstocknians, manage to put out tons of shells. Then, there is a lull, and the infantry rush to their targets with their Bonstocknian advisors.

"We welcome the most valiant forces of Spyr to our cause," Premier Park Hye-min announced today in a speech from the Politburo. "We seek only to liberate Japan, and with the help of our allies, such a possibility is certain."

*****
Partisan attacks on the Bonstockian couples have totally ceased. The only attacks in the first place involved kidnappings, and not assassinations, as Islandian field advisors, unlike their high command counterparts, knew of the deceptions and were careful about the undercover operatives. (OOC sry hudecia, i didnt see that, but i wasnt going to kill any of them anyway.. the japanese men would have turned over my SF operatives if they did). Instead, the girls were quickly taken underground, and protected in safe houses once their missions were over.

**********

Partisan attacks in ISLANDIAN territory (not the other way around, since Bonstock infiltrated our territory too) have found mediocre results. Int he first place, most of Kyushu is home to support troops and rear echelon Second Flag Reserve engineers (70% Japanese units). Also, Xiannese and Agrigentian troops are in the north, not in Kyushu.

ooc: In all my months on NS, I've never seen a quintuple post...

ic: Bonstock signs the New Year's ceasefire.

In Kyushu, Shigoku, and southern Honshu artillary pieces and crates with SMGs and ammunition were landed by high altitude C-5s and C-17s. The thousands of recruits got training, and were tought tactics by their Bonstocknian leaders. Mortars supplanted artillery pieces, which were deemed to bulky for use. So thousands of mortars were landed, for use as artillery. Plus they were easier to use, and fired quicker. The instructers, fluent in Japanese and experts in Japanese culture, gathered an army of nearly 100,000 in quick order. It was one of the greatest musterings in history.

And soon, the enemies of Bonstock would have something to fear.

A Bonstocknian special ops force in northern Honshu gathers a large partisan force, and hands them submachine guns. 15,000 of them are ammased, along with 75 105mm artillary guns parachuted by Bonstock. Pickup trucks move the light guns, and they are put into position near the town of Sendai. The men are divided into 5 brigades, one artillary, one support, and three infantry. The artillary is told to pound the city of Sendai, after which two of the brigades take the city while the other goes and takes the airport.

OOC
15000 is not workable. In fact, if you had read "ON Guerilla War Warfare," "Seven Pillars of Wisdom," or ever heard Mao's sixteen character jingle "When the enemy attacks, we retreat, whent he enemy halts, we harass, when the enemy retreats we advance..." then you would know that guerilla warfare does nto include FIFTEEN THOUSAND FUCKING TROOPS LED BY A BUNCH OF SWEDISH GUYS WITH NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THE RACE!! COME ON!

I dont mean to make funo f your swedes, but the fact of the matter is that you cant lead that many partisans into battle at one time. I dont even have that many in one place, prob not that many in ur territory (probably combined Red Tide and Bonstock) but mine are effective cause my country has about 30-40% Japanese people and 70% of my troops are Japanese (all are Japanese speakers). Never mind that you have heavy weapons, which guerillas neaarly never have (or the training to handle it). Do you have any idea how easy it is to spot them?

Take it from the pros, or at least well informed amateurs. Rethinkt hat post, redo ur attack, cuase it really doesnt work that way in People's war.

OOC: Japann is a tremendously, tremendously homogenuous country.
It has just ended a terrible war of attrition against East Islandia, , Red Tide, Bonstock and Agrigento (SOrry, not to leave anyone out, but for the purpose of this analogy this is all that is needed). Nationalist spirit has spread like wildfire through the country.

Who do you think the Japanese people are going to trust???

East Islandia - Very similar to them, many of the soldiers are in fact Japanese. Same culture, similar appearance, and ethnicity. Had the lowest Civilian Casautlies of the war, and has continued to, to the greatest extent of all, to keep the Japanese people has well off as possible.

Red Tide - Nothing at all like Japann, very violent, used WMDs, and loots.

Bonstock - Complete opposite appearance and culture wise. Blonde hair, blue eyes, very tall.... killed a lot of Japanese Soldiers. Uses Japanese Women - kinda f'ing obvious to the people around them...

Agrigento - Very different ethnically but not culturally (Very strong Asian traditions in Agrigentian Society). However they have kept to themselves and in fact tried to stop an attempted WMD strike of its ally at the time, Red Tide. AN action that, if it had succeeded, would have saved the lives of thousand of Japannese People in the city of Tokyo.


Bonstock, while now being very sensitive to the Japannese people, very rarely mentioned them during the war. While East Islandia and Agrigento made their well being a priority, and POSTED IT very often...when the others did not.


Agrigentian and East Islandian plans for Japann, widely publicised ones at that, have mentioned the intention of Agrigentian forces to be "In and Out" as quick as possible, returning democracy directly to the people ASAP. These plans were posted around, and made known before the War with Japann ended, and well before this current wat started.


You tell me...who the hell are they going to support???


15,000 partisans in an area that I have worked ceaselessly to keep content, to pacify and improve...I find that very unlikely.... I have not paraded armed forces through their cities, I haven't even fought in them.

I will admit that one of my attacks accidentially costed the lives of many civilians...so yes, I will accept some partisans...but not 15,000...no way in hell...and East Islandia....NO WAY

Partisans will not be attacking him...I will not accept that.



These are the faces of Partisans...

A message is sent to President Chen.

You have chosen war

Offshore, at the exact same time, the arsenal ship FRBV Grossbonstocknia salvos 600 hypersonic cruise missiles at Taipei. Two more arsenal ships do the same. Then 24 submarines entered Taipei harbor, unleashing all of their guided torpedoes at ships in the harbor, aiming for naval ships. A full wing of new JAS 39Cs (upgraded version better then Raptor; supercruise, fancy electronics, supermaneuverability, 54 of them), rise to intercept the Taiwanese fighters. Then twenty full wings left, attacking all Taiwanese production facilities, communications, and radar facilities. Then they went back to Maropian Coast to rearm and refuel, and then go after any military target around Taipei.

The they stopped, after taking 17 fighters destroyed by SAM sites around Taipei and other cities.

Bgonstocknian Gripen-Cs fly up to intercept the Hucendia transports in one wing, firing all or their missiles at the targets.

ooc: When is the Chinese new year? We could "negotiate" a ceasefire. Perhaps have room for negotiations to end the war.

The cruise missile bombardment of Taipei has caused massive civilian casulaties, with a firestorm reported in West Taipei. Patriot SAMs managed to intercept only a few of these.

OOC: Taipei is inland.

The ROTAF's ten wings of Eurofighters and two wings 5th Gen F-36 (X-36, supercruise, supermanverability, stealth, ESTOL, but only Air superiority) squadrons have begun large scale clashes with the Bonstockian air force. The pilots of the downed Bonstockian aircraft have been reportedly captured, according to the Taipei Times

From the northern coast of Taiwan, coastal defences have launched 300 Nanfung missiles (Mach 2.2, onboard AI, DU tip, GPS guidance) in a low-low profile, 100 at each ship.

A wing of Eurofighters take off in Wild Weasel configuration from Taichung. Meanwhile, the three A-380s departing a few hours ago launch their entire loads of CALCMs at oil facilities in the Maropian Coast.

OOC: This is all supposed to be here yesterday, too drunk on New Year's Eve :(.

New Years Day
Chen signs the cease-fire.

-Over the Sea of Japan-

A lone AWAC bearing the markings of the South Dalanian Air Force moved over the Sea of Japan. It's scanning radar and mapping devices were fully active as it cruised the outskirts of enemy territory, stopping just short of violating Bonstockian/Red Tide air space.

"The skies are definitely clear today," casually remarked the AWAC pilot as he scanned the horizon. "Not a jet in the sky."

"It's because of the Lunar New Year celebration," remarked the co-pilot as he jotted down a course plot onto a wooden clipboard. "East Islandia and _Taiwan are all busy celebrating the Year of the Monkey."

"So why didn't we get the day off," griped one of the side radar technicians. "We're as Asian as the East Islandians."

"You know South Dalania hasn't seriously celebrated the Lunar New Year since before the war," shot back the pilot. "Besides we've got a job to do, so shut up and man your station."

The recon aircraft continued to patrol the skies on its mission for the Asian Alliance. Although South Dalania had not agreed to the cease-fire, it wasn't providing any armed aircraft anyway, so a cease-fire was not necessary. An unarmed recon plane would most likely be unchallenged, especially if it stayed in friendly territory...

ooc: Not all of my men are Swedish. I'm an American of Swedish decent in rl, but just because I use Swedish weaponry and fashion my military after Sweden doen't meen my population is all a bunch of tall blond people.

Bonstock's population is made up of a complete mix of people, at least 30% Asian. Many of them are immigrants from Maropian Coast, which has been a colony since late June.

So, more like alot of people who are ethnically similar, and many of the officers know Japanese because of training. Culturally, because of globalization, they are very similar to Japanese. Both societies are technologically advanced

Remmeber, I was with you guys since the start of Japann building up its military. Then I got distracted by the Great Bonstocknian Civil War, which I quickly recovered from (In a few days, my economy went from "Good" to "Frightening" thanks to goo issue use).

But anyway, it is fair to know that we are all invaders here. The Japanese would rather see us all go to hell, includung the Japanese women who my soldiers think they trust. No matter how racially or culturally similar to us they are, they will hate us.

When Germany went to war with Britain, both times, they hated eachother. However, both come from the same Germanic background. The Anglo-saxons were from Germany. And the two cultures shared many cultural aspects. Then the wars started, with the bombing and the invading. Both populations hated eachother, both times. There was no warm reception to the Americans and British as they marched into Germany at the end of WWII, despite the fact that many Americans were decendents of Germans. There were perhaps sighs of relief that the Russians didn't capture them, but no warm "thank you for liberating us from Hitler, brothers" type of thing.

So, in my zone of occupation, everyone hates me, in your occupation zone, everyone hates you. Nationalism runs deeper then ethnicity and culture. Being an American of Swedish decent, if the Swedes were to invade the US, I would take an RPG and kill them. Because I love my country way more then I love my ethnicity.

[OOC: Bonstock, while your nation-above-ethnicity argument is a valid one in most cases, you mustnt forget that we're talking about Japan... which plays by its own set of rules. In Japan, nation IS ethnicity.

As an American of swedish descent, you can look at things from the perspective of someone who's ancestors (recent or remote) entered into a nation and were made part of it, without reference to race. Thus, your understanding of 'United States of America' dos not hold any racial characteristics.

Now, let us take a Japanese example. Lets say you were a person living in Japan, whose ancestors had come over from Korea, when that nation was made a colony of Japan. This means that not only have you lived in Japan your whole life, but so did your parents and grandparents, likely even great-grandparents. So, of course, you're a Japanese of Korean descent, right?

Wrong. You arent even a citizen of Japan, nor will you become one, because your ethnicity is not Japanese. National identity and racial identity are, in that culture, one and the same... you are either Japanese by race, or not, and without race, there is no nation. Which is something that should be kept in mind when dealing with the native peoples during this conflict.

Though, admittedly, I suspect Bonstockian troops would find themselves rather popular with many young women... Japan's society is still more rigidly patriarchal than 'Western' societies tend to be, and so it has been known for Japanese women to enter into relationships with Western men to avoid dealing with the restrictive attitudes of Japanese men raised in a semi-patriarchal environment. So, as long as your people give the female gender freedom and opportunity, there will be a small number of Japanese women who you could, in fact, trust to some extent .]

Well, i dont kno about you, but i hold my ethncity above my country (and so i probably would even if i lived in mainland China). In any case, Spyr is right... if you were to come into a place like China and adopt their customs and culture, you would, in fact, assimilate because thats just the way we think, and this explains why we were content under foreign rulers...for a while, since they adopted our traditions, respected our culture. But once they started the oppression, enough was enough; then we kicked them out.

America doesnt apply to Japan; this is what the gaijin (foreigners) dont realize. Once you're in another culture, you play by their rules; American attitudes only go so far, and the belief that everyone thinks that they do... well there's one reason for the love/hate relationship in Asia with the Americans.

Have you seent he Korean population in Japan? they've been there for a good century, and they're still abused and picked on. They're just not Japanese, but if they speak Japanese and act Japanese, then they can get away with it.

That's whats going on right now; many of my people are Japanese and if not, then they look and act Japanese enough to fool the natives. Besides, even for Asians, it is hard to tell one person from one race apart form another; I have difficulty doing this, and people often mistaken me for Vietnamese, which I'm not. So, were your troops able to LOOK Japanese, able to speak Japanese fluently and act with a knowledge of the culture, then you would get away with it.

Besides, READ the f***** texts i talked about. They really help if you want to be a good guerilla, and take it from me and AG. Resistance runs in my blood (I'm southern CHinese, and heavily patriotic), and AG's ancestors have had their share of armed struggle against invaders and occupiers.

But even were we not of that ancestry, guerilla warfare centers around common sense. You cant mass troops, you CAN use mortars (but where you gonna get a thousand mortars manned by three thousand guys), and organizing your rebels into anything more than a company of a few hundred is hard. REALLY HARD, as the first airstrikes would kill you.

Granted, resistance was easier back then, wihtout satellites and advanced surveillance, but it is not impossible now, only harder. Move at night, move quietly, strike fast, and move before your men get hit bak by heavy firepower. Rely on the enemy to alienate themselves through retaliatory strikes and raids where they torture your people (but try to prevent this by staying mobile and having the villagers relocate to other villages too)...

New Year's ceasefire is in place.

*******
With fires raging in Taiwan, the Politburo dispatches ten Y8 transport planes laden with food supplies and firefighting equipment for Taipei International, with fighter escort. A search and rescue team has been dispatched on a pair of IL76s. A pair of J37s from Suzu Squadron (since I'm pretty sure they dont celebrate the New Year in Japan, they're not off) hail the allied plane, flying alongside it to provide security.

OOC: As a former resident of Japan, I concur with the appraisal of Spyr, Agrigento and East Islandia.

Japanese, especially the older generations (I mean people in their 40s and 50s) do not like foreigners. Even the younger generation, although it is open to Western ways still views foreigners with suspicion. An occupation by foreign, especially caucasian countries, would be more than they could bear.

Bonstock, your flirting with Japanese women would put it over the edge, Japanese already see westerners as sex-crazed maniacs, for you to so blatantly prove it would drive every man and women to revolt. If you give them guns they will use them on you.

I mean, the chimpira (I think thats how its spelt- its a gang) tried to run me over once, just because I was not Japanese. I was banned from entering certain buildings, and people treated me like a freak side show. I had to carry around a "foreigner card" under threat of incarceration. This is how foreigners are treated in general (especially caucasian ones)!

If a foreign nation occupies Japan but promises to leave quickly, the intelligent population will understand. However, your actions hardly indicate a desire to leave.

And about the culture thing - you can not learn Japanese culture by training - it is too complex to learn by reading a book, you have to experience it to understand it.

FYI : gaikokujin is the polite way of saying foreigner, the other way, gaijin means 'barbarian', gaijin is often applied to Americans.

As the artillery barrage continues, observers use the chance to pinpoint the locations of major artillery batteries and call in Tomahawk missile strikes.

As the shelling of Kashima ends, both citizens and Hudecian troops dig themselves out to survey the damage. The Japanese were confused at the end to the barrage (Japanese dont celebrate the Lunar New Year), until a Japanese-Hudecian corporal explains it to them.

Within hours, thousands of residents were fleeing the fighting to the Hudecian beachead, where LCACs were evacuating wounded soldiers and civilians alike.

casualties:
Hudecia
156 dead
379 wounded
23 M1A2s destroyed (including the 5 immobilized ones)
13 severly damaged

civilian
over 300 dead
more than 1300 wounded, being evacuated.

In the bay, Halifax-class Destroyers easily fend off the Bonstockian subs taking little damage.

Hudecia signs the New Year ceasefire.

Reinforcements from Hudecia arrive at Japan, carrying 2 additional divisions under heavy escort and replacement Tomahawk missiles.
6 New AOR transports
1 HDL Amphibious Assault Ship (3 LCAC, 5 Blackhawks, 2 Harriers)
5 Halifax-class destroyers

In Sapporo, the 2nd Expeditionary division is quickly sent to reinforce Sendai against an assault.

-Command Deck- HN Hclav -

Commander Kimura frowned. With almost 10 000 troops surrounded on land and an additional 10 000 more arriving, Kimura would have to make a decision whether or not to reinforce this beachead or evacuate and form another later.

If they stayed, they would inevitably face a massive artillery barrage from Bonstock and a possible frontal assault. However, with E. Islandian troops surging from the south they might be able to hold off until they arrived. Also, with the newly arrived artillery, they might stand a chance.

Kimura chuckled at the thought that he had so much time to decide. With the New Year's ceasefire holding, he could take his time. He didnt celebrate the Lunar New Year, couldn't remember ever celebrating it.

"WHAT'S NEW YEAR'S WITHOUT A LION DANCE, BOYS?!" General Sao Yiwei shouted. She shook her drink fervently, spilling some, and began rooting for her team, the team dressed in white.

Of course, the team dressed in white was the Eighth Guards Assault Divisional Lion Dance team, and they were taught Yau Kung Moon, a Southern Chinese martial art known for the versatility of its lion dancers. The other teams were from the Third Lancers' First Infantry Brigade, using traditional Cailifoquan routines, and the Pathet Cong Ranger Brigade. The shorter, sturdy Vietnamese had their own lion dance, imported from Malaysia, and soon, the three teams were battling for it all with the men rooting them on and passing candy and food to all.

Xiaguo has about 50%Chinese, 20%Korean, 20%Japanese, 8%Russian, and 2%Other.

Xiaguo also Participated i the war With Japann, also Sino, _Taiwan. However as we enforced Geneva Accords, Sino also has his way of "Revenge"Lmao.

Ok, The Cease Fire has been signed by 4Nations of the Allaince including Bonstock. We will then cease-fire and celebrate Lunar New Year. GONSHI FA CAI, GONG ZHUA JIN BAO, HONG WEN DANG TOU!

Also as of the Fire in Taipei, at least 3 Xiannese Ships were heavily damaged and many more were damaged. As Taipei is burning, Xiaguo dispatches Medical Volunteers from Red Cross Society of Xiaguo to Taiwan. Total of 200 Volunteer Medics has been sent to the City of Taipei to help the ones in need. Relief packages of boxed and canned foods are being delivered to the Taiwanese in need.

The People and the Government sends our solemn and sypathies to the Taiwanese peoples. And we hope that they will have a Better New Year and good health. We hope our help may be useful.

The government of Hudecia wishes all its allies a Happy New Year.

Xin Nian Kuai le!



OOC: How long does the New Year ceasefire continue?

OOC: No one has any ships in Taipei, it is inland.
OOC: New Years day is over here, but the US are a day behind.

ooc: Happy New Year! Ceasefire continues until... *holds out his military issue watch, and looks at the time. It switches to 9:45 EST. All of a sudden, artillery booms, rockets fire, and all hell breaks loose on the fronts.* NOW!

ic:

"Sir, the ceasefire is holding up well."

"Wonderful, Lung. Launch Operation Adrianople Viking."

"Good thing we waited. Now those guys won't know what hit them."

"True. I apologise, Lung, that I could not release you on leave for the celebration."

"It is no problem, sir. This will be a night to remember."

"I assure you it would. Provoke an incident along the front with Hudecia. Then we get this show on the road."

"Yes, Field Marshal Adolphus."

Meanwhile, three convoys of ships came from Tokyo. Onboard were the I, II, and III Marine Expeditionary Forces, with 46,000 men each. The convoys each contained 30 LPD San Antonios and 12 Wasps, and headed for their destinations under escort from 12 destroyers and one arsenal ship each.

I MEF and its convoy wait off the shores of Shikoku, and the Arsenal Ship and destroyers salvo some 2,000 missiles. 142 JAS 39Cs take off from Tokyo, and loiter in the area, firing at targets of opperatunity along the shores. Then 233 AAAVs land near the town of Kochi, and start an advance inland.

Meanwhile, near Kyushu, the Bonstocknian vessels go offshore and their ships fire a staggering 4,000 missiles at inland targets. Then 466 AAAVs land onshore, followed by LCACs, near the town of Miyazaki. Air support is provided by 284 JAS 39Cs. The airport is secured, providing a base for them. This is also true near Kochi. JAS 39s make an assault all over Kyushu, and the Marines make an advance up the island, being reinforced by Red Tide marines. Bridge connections to Honshu are targetted, along with power and communications facilities, and troops in the field. Hundreds of V-22 Ospreys transport troops while LCACs transport tanks and trucks. An advance is made by Bonstocknian troops, who face resistance from guys dressed in ceremonial garb armed with a lion thingy.

Meanwhile, 500 C 130s take off from Maropian Coast, and head straight for Taipei, escorted by 1,080 JAS 39Cs, who sweep the area, obmbing infrastructure and troops on the ground, some dropping EMPs. The entire 6th and 9th Airborne Divisions are dropped. The 6th Airborne falls on Chaing Kai-shek International Airport, securing it quickly. The 9th Airborne falls right into downtown Taipei, right onto a New Year's celebration. Then the power goes out, and the Bonstocknians use their NVGs as civilians run for their lives.

Off the shores, two more convoys landed the V and IV MEFs, on opposite shores, to surround Taipei. EMPs continue to land, and meanwhile an army of hackers try to get into Taiwanese, East Islandian, Agrigentinian, Xiagou, and everyone elses computers, to destroy their commuinications. Industry and infrastructure are targetted, to bring factories to a standstill. Merchant shipping is also heavily targetted, trying to get ships to not know where they were. Then the Navy, Army, and Airforces were targetted, to throw units into dissarray. The IT industry, Bonstock's pride, now proved itself as a military tool.

Then, the Bonstocknian II Corps waited, as their artillary, 432 155mm Howitzers and 288 Smerch artillary systems, was launched at a concentrated area beyond Bonstocknian lines. After a five minuite barrage, the five divisions, with a total of 1205 Leapord IIXs and 1515 CV 90s, went right throught the bombarded area, launching themselves against Sendai. Red Tide forces guarded their flanks, and followed up on the assault.

JAS 39s flew close support, with 540 of them in the air flying CAP, striking targets of opperatunity. Tanks, artillary, supply lines, and buildings. Nothing was spared as II Corps rolled forth.

Then Red Tide forces, led by the newly arrived 4th Infantry Division, made another barrage of the Hudecian landings, with 72 howitzers and 18 Smerches, and an unknown number of Red Tide forces. The barrage continued long into the night, along with 270 JAS 39C, which bombarded the fleet and the forces below, continueing the surprise onslaught.

Then the submarines moved into position in the straits of Tsushima.

Meanwhile, from Bonstock itself, 288 B-1C bombers, with an escort of 576 JAS 39Cs, went in on a raid of enemy forces around Japan. Of these, 18 B1s and 36 JAS 39s went on a raid on East ISlandia's capital. They fly low over the ocean, and fired long range cruise missiles at the (insert EI's capital here; I can't remember the name). Then they turned away, trying to avoid the enemy.

Bonstock sent a list of demands to the enemy. Allow Bonstocknian authority over Tokyo for a while, allow Bonstock to keep a large military presence after the war, recognize all Bonstocknian territory in the Pacific, and let Bonstock craft a new self defense force for Japan.

Rally Point Loto

"Calm down...", he says looking at the stale cup of coffee by his side. "Now is the time...commence Operation: Legione di Palmyra."

"Yes sir...", he replied solemnly, yet somewhat shocked.

The entire force of the 1st Theatre Operational Maneuver Group mobilized rapidly, heading south at a rapid pace with heavy air support. They would not cease until they reached Tokyo and liberated that city.

Meanwhile in the Sea of Japan the 2nd Fleet began offensive operations, firing over 2,500 ramjet powered cruise missiles at Bonstock positions and forward movements.

Agrigentian Air Defense Command, having picked up the Bonstockian bombers on their return from Hu'kasa, have launched 5 Squadrons of Drago 3000's, and AWACS, to intercept the B1-C's before they could return home.

ooc: All areas in Japan controlled by Agrigento are kept at almost constant vigil, despite the holiday....

Meanwhile, near Kyushu, the Bonstocknian vessels go offshore and their ships fire a staggering 4,000 missiles at inland targets. Then 466 AAAVs land onshore, followed by LCACs, near the town of Miyazaki. Air support is provided by 284 JAS 39Cs. The airport is secured, providing a base for them. This is also true near Kochi. JAS 39s make an assault all over Kyushu, and the Marines make an advance up the island, being reinforced by Red Tide marines.

An advance is made by Bonstocknian troops, who face resistance from guys dressed in ceremonial garb armed with a lion thingy.

ooc: YOu really took your liberties in RPing for the defense of Kyushu, here is how it really would have went...
ic:

Following the hail of missile fire, a large portion of which was thankfully diverted and shot down, Agrigentian Occupational forces in Kyushu began to return fire with 1,500 Fenice ASM's, which targeted the Bonstockian Naval vessels.

Agrigentian Marine artillery begins to pound the landing forces, while SAM's and our own fighters attempt to suppress the enemy aircraft. Aster sites already setup around the island have come active and after facing off against Bonstockian Cruise Missiles turn their attention to enemy Grippens and Ospreys.

The Bonstockian Landing forces will be facing constant barrages of 240 mm AE Guided Rockets from Agrigentian Arciere GMLRS's, as well as rocket assisted rounds fired from Paladin Self Propelled Artillery and Bad Neighbor platforms.

Occupational Forces, before they evacuated the Airport (which I will let slide....) successfully detonated several high yield explosives, plastering runways, but most importantly destroying the precious underground fuel lines, and hangars, as well as toppling the Control Tower.

Nonetheless heavy loses were substained....and the defenders are well below 100% strength. The greatest loses were suffered by the Agrigentian Air Force, who lost a large portion of their combat aircraft.

All three of the 35th Air Wing's SO:FA Fantasma aircraft were destroyed by Agrigentian soldiers to prevent the technology from reaching enemy hands. These were part of the 35th wing's force in Kyushu, which thankfully, consisted of only a portion of their squadrons, the rest of which are based in Hokkaido.

The II and III MEFs dig into the countryside, entranching themselves as artillery starts pounding away. A barrage continues, with the 144 guns of the forces pounding away.

JAS 39s fly in from the sky to attack troop positions around Kyushu.

2,304 Bonstocknians have been wounded, 324 have been killed in the attack.

Meanwhile, with little resistance, the forces on Shigoku advance inland, searching for the enemy (ooc: I'll wait for EI or whoever has the island to respond).

Near Sendai, seeing the movement of Agrigentan forces, the tanks and IFVs halt, and II Corps starts pounding more artillery at the advancing tanks. Bonstocknian tanks and CV 90s dig in so that only their turrents are showing, with artillery behind them, firing away.

432 155mm guns and 288 Smerches fire all around, as JAS 39s patrol overhead, firing missiles at the ramjet cruise missiles. Still, 34 CV 90s and 23 tanks are disabled. Engineers work at rebuilding them, though it is clear some cannot be saved.

The B-1s keep flying as the escorting Gripen Cs turn to engage the Agrigentinian fighters. They launch some long range missiles, and dive down, getting in position to do so with look up shoot down techniques at extreme range.

Engineers move into the airport, trying to make it operational again. They build a makeshift control tower, and use concrete to pour in the runway. They also erect tent hangers. 296 JAS 39s then go on a mission to attack artillary posts. They aim missiles at long range, so that air defenses cannot attack them. They fire 4 missiles each, aiming for the artillary bombarding Bonstocknian troops. Then Bonstocknian artillary starts thundering in the night, concentrating on known troop concentrations.

ooc: Agrigento, do you occupy Sendai yet?

OOC: It doesn't seem like you responded to my previous post.

The entire force of Bonstockian C-130s is expected to be annihilated by the thousands of F-16T,Eurofighter, and F-22T aircraft (almost 3,000 patrolling Northern and Central Taiwan.

Taiwanese aircraft, fighting in defence, have a large advantage over their Bonstockian counterparts due to fuel use (travelling from Maropian Coast) ,dedicated air superiority munitions.

The Taiwanese network security team, one of the best eqiuped in the region, deals with the downing of the Navy's comm network in just under half an hour. They then unleash 2,800 different viruses originally designed for the PRC onto the Maropian Coast's civilian and military network.

Most of the paratroopers attempting to capture Chiang-Kei-Shek airport failed to land in one piece due to the large numbers of SAMs in Taipei. The rest are repeled by ROTA units in the area.

A few civilians armed with hunting rifles have made their stand.

Almost a hundred Supersonic CALCMs are launched from airbourne A-380s at various Maropian coast reservoirs. Combined with the shutting of the taps, water supplies in Maropian coast were going to be drained. Hundreds of cruise missiles are also launch from Taichung targetting Maropian oil facilities.

OOC: How did their landing craft get past land-based naval defences?

From Hsing-chu, 12 A-900 WIGcraft take off along the water.

Bonstocknian artillary bombards an area 90 km deep into enemy territory using long range Smerches for 6 minutes. Convoys pull forth, with heavy air escort, to provide more rockets. HEMTTS use backroads to transport the Smerch rockets to their launchers, who constantly fire. Bonstocknian forces then advance slightly, going within 25 km of Sendai. Artillary catches up with them, and starts another barrage.

Resistance has destroyed 4 tanks and 3 CV 90s. A JAS 39 was downed in the fight over the Pacific.

Laser defenses engage the missiles, but four LPDs are damaged, and a destroyer is hit in the bridge and abandoned. Missiles are fired back by all of the ships, targeting missile bases, artillary, SAMs, and troop concentrations.

ooc: When showing air support, please give the type of planes and number of then involved. Without that information, it is impossible to post casualties and have a good fight. For all I know, "

Ok, US is one day behind and You guys to me is 1 day ahead. So I think How about the 25th? That would be the 24th for me.

Please No attacking please. Oh yeah, i am so stupid, taipei is inland. O well, we Have ships near the Taiwanese Coast.

New Years Greetings by President Dao Min,

ooc: Taiwan, I launched 4,000 plus cruise missiles at shore defenses.

but I'll RP landings over again.

The AAAVs approach the shore, as missiles continue to pound away at the Taiwanese.

Bonstocknian JAS 39s launch an all out attack. Reinforcements from Bonstock arrive, with a total of over 4,000 Gripens. Factories work round the clock, powered by generators, to build more JAS 39Cs (which, as said, are like Raptors w/o stealth and with diff. body shape).

Bonstocknians parachute into dissarray. Chiang Kai-shek airport becomes an untakable position. 6th Infantry Division takes horrendous losses, and withdraws around the airport, into the rice paddies below. They manage to get in small groups, but it is still unclear how their surprise was predicted.

The Bonstocknian 9th Airborne Division manages to pull out of downtown Taipei, and takes positions on the road to the airport, linking with elements of the 6th Airborne in a confused firefight. Training and small unit tactics prove of great value as Bonstocknian soldiers storm houses and search for snipers.

ONe lone Gripen gets through the fray, and manages to drop a large EMP on Taipei and another on the airport.

Laser defeses manage to hold off some of the missiles, but a large refinery takes lots of damage. Still, oil tankers wait offshore, making sure Maropians have their oil supply.

ooc: wouldn't your forces be at home, celebrating the New Year? I mean, 3,000 fighters patrolling during a ceasefire? And how do you even have that many?

Massive plans for a new deployment come about. The strategic lifting of 85 mechanized divisions is to be undertaken. 425 ships leave from Bonstock, carrying equipment, and troops are flown over by planes.

ooc: Xiagou, this is war. I don't give a darn about some holiday I don't celebrate. And the Viet Cong celebrated it, but they attacked!

ic:

Escorted by some 170 destroyers, the ships make their way across the ocean.

Submarines patrol, surrounding Taiwan from Maropian Coast. Some 300 vessels are used, all ultra quiet.

They find elements of the Xiagou fleet. In a wolfpack attack involving 10 subs, they ambush the ships, firing guided torpedoes.

Meanwhile, Aircraft carriers off the coast of Taiwan launch planes, which add to the air presence over Northern Taiwan.

Some 354 aircraft have been downed so far in the melee over Northern Taiwan.

100 KC-A380 Refuelers
120 S-700 Transports
35 S-900 WIG Transports
180 A-900 WIGcraft

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

Moving at 400 knots just metres above the ocean (making them nearly invisible to radar), the A-900 fleet of 12 are reinforced by 12 Raptors from the west. As they reach the range of their supersonic sea-skimming missiles (Mach 3), they fire the lot at Bonstockian carriers. (30 per WIGcraft = 360)

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

Power in Central Taipei is down for 45 minutes, as a key transformer is repaired. Three Patriot IIIs are downed, but are replaced within minutes by reinforcements from the South.

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

OOC: That's all for tonight. *ending music*

Word reaches Commander Kimura of the Bonstockian cowardism. He pauses, well, even though he held the same views as Bonstock on the ceasefire, at least he didn't betray it, he thinks to himself. He heads to the command room.

"The time for our revenge is close at hand. With the land forces reinforced with artillery, tanks and fresh troops dug in around the city of Kashima, we may be able to hold on." Kimura stood defiantly in front of his staff, his courage spreading to the others. "We will strike them as they have struck. Launch a missile strike on Narita Airport, my hometown may suffer, but our cause is just."

The 20 Halifax-class destroyers proceeded to launch waves of missiles against Narita Airport while the landed artillery and tanks pounded the Bonstockian front lines with Heavy Explosive shells. The shelling is followed up by a series of land attacks. Supported by attack helicopters and tanks, they probe the enemy defences, but make no major commitment.

Miho stood at her window and waved to her Bonstockian boyfriend as he left.

As soon as he had left sight, her warm smile turned into a scowl and she went to wash her face and mouth. He was a colonel in the Bonstockian artillery corps, so he could and was providing important information about their army's positions.

"Loose lips sink ships." Her callsign, she whispered into a two way radio. The Japanese resistance had advanced far thanks to the Hudecian government. While they distracted Bonstock with the landing, many supplies had been snuck ashore. Granted she didnt trust Hudecians, but she did trust Kimura.

She radioed the location of several artillery units to her handler, her boyfriend loved to have her come to the front so he could show off his beautiful Japanese girlfriend to his troops... what a pig. A gullible and stupid pig. She always confirmed the location of his troops before she sent back any information and she took every precaution to prevent Bonstock from learning what she was doing.

"Incoming missiles," the radar operator called out to the battery commander.
"Roger," Lt Traubman replied. Second Flag units werent allowed to take off for the holidays, so the group of men sat at their stations at the Anshu battery. "Shit on them."

The expression "shit on them" was used by antiair missile crews (for soem strange reason) and meant, of course, 'fire.'

Traubman muttered. "I told the fucking high command not to trust the Bonstockian shitheads," he said. "They have no honor at all; now it's going to be like the Six Day War with Israel."

"Well you never know with those blonde bitches," his firing officer replied over the intercom as the missiles wooshed out of the launch tubes, headed for the airplanes.

J37s from the Second Flag's Sarikaze Brigade intercept the Gripens at sea, and inland air defence units take care of their missiles.

Moderate damage is reported to the capital, with bombs falling on hospitals and schools.

Cruise missiles fired from Zhou class SSBNs impact into Bonstockian territory. Meanwhile, the sixth Zhou class SSBN (from several posts ago) is diverted back to Taiwan and lands its operatives behind enemy lines.


*****
"Shit get to the front!" Sao yelled as the missiles started falling all around them. "Fucking shits are attacking us!"
Luckily, the predominantly Japanese armor units were still in place, not watchign the Lion Dance. They had seen too many defeats of their Lion dance teams, so they refused to sit in at the celebrations. As Bosntockian troops push in, they quickly swivel their turrets and begin firing at the oncoming troops.

Sadly, though, they're pushed back about fifteen km. Luckily, automated air defence systems and their operators were still online, so they provided air cover for the retreating forces.

The Pathet Cong lion dance team finds themselves surrounded by blond haired guys, so they figured that they're captured and put down their lion costume, sighing.
"Well, since it is New Year, how would you guys like to see a Lion Dance?" they ask their captors.

Casualties are heavy, with about over a hundred men and women killed in the forward element of the Eighth Armored Division, and about fifty captured. General Sao is presumed captured, and with her the elite Chu Company, although it is possible that they slipped past the advance line of the Bonstockians and began to conduct guerilla operations.

Once the men fall back to teh second line held by the Third Lancers, however, the Bonstockians are held by the sturdy bunkers and dug in artillery positions.

Air cover has not ceased during the New Year's.

OOC
well i've learned one lesson.

never trust a swede

IC
Islandian units in PRC China and Mainland China are quickly diverted to fly air patrols over Taiwanese cities, refueling and keeping their pilots in the air for hours at a time, popping pills and turning on techno music to keep themselves awake.

All available wolfpacks attack the ships commencing the strategic lifting of Bonstockian divisions, aided by the 9th ISD and naval strike/antiship units, which is about 500 strike planes from about ten different strike units.

As news and lines of retreating troops filter back in, the extent of the casualties have been told. Hundreds of troops have been wounded heavily from the advance, and at the latest count, three hundred men and women (mostly tank crew and maintenance workers) from the Eighth Guards Armor, nearly two hundred troops captured. about eighty tanks were destroyed by retreating troops to keep them out of enemy hands, and all heavily wounded men were left behind when helicopter medevacs ran out of room.

As she hears the news, General Sung, who departed the conference for the front several days ago, stood at the helm of her WYZ531S9-C command vehicle at the second line. As missiles impact all around the heavily fortified positions of the second line, she grimaced. Luckily, they managed to get allt heir munitions down into bunkers and all of the troops too. As the shattered remnants of the retreating trucks and armored vehicles pull into armored barracks a hundred km outside Kobe, Sung watches sadly.

There are no whole anti-air units who pull in; they sacrificed themselves fending off airforces, and died at their stations. Only six or seven ATS7000 vehicles and two mobile Anshu launch batteries have returned, intact to the second line.

While the troops retreat, J34s and JH7s begin airstrikes on pursuing Bonstockians, escorted by J37s of Musa Brigade (400 aircraft here making high speed runs).

All 1500 fighters, J37s and S37s of the First, Second, and Third Advanced Fighter Divisions ahve begun active offensive operations, destroying out all Bonstockian fighters. THe Fifth, Sixth, and Twenty Second Fighter Divisions have begun offensive sorties over Taiwan, trying to rid the island nation of Bonstockians.

Anshu batteries in Taipei have taken heavy casualties, and Second Flag catamaran cruisers in the Formosa Strait have begun heavy offensive action against the submarines there.

Meanwhile, two Zhou SSBNs drop off several teams of SF operatives in Bonstock proper to coordinate air strikes.

***

The Pathet Cong Rangers' First and Second Battalions have stayed where they were and began conducting offensive guerilla warfare immediately behind the line of the Bonstockian advance (2000 troops). Third, Fourth, and Fifth Battalions are holding a front against invadign Bonstockian marines along wtih trapped remnants of the Third Lancers.

****
Explosions flashed all around General Sao and her troops as they crept through the woods. They soon spotted the C4I center ahead, and spread into a skirmish line, knowing that the Bonstockians had not expected the Chinese to infiltrate so far behind their lines.

ATS rockets and mortars begin to pound the compound, while Chu Company and the Fifth and Seventh Pathet Cong Companies from the First Battalion surround the compound (about three hundred troops traveling in groups of twenty).

When it comes to infiltration and guerilla tactics, the Islandians and the Agrigentians were the undisputed masters...

Reinforcements from Okinawa help hold the second line, while a squadron of specially modified H9s carry five fifteen thousand lb bombs and drop them over the pursuing Bonstockians. Another file of H9s carry their five fifteen thousand lb bombs to the Kochi front.

-Hudecian Broadcaster-

"In violation of the cease-fire, Bonstockian troops fired upon our allies, E. Islandia, Taiwan, and Agrigento while they celebrated the Lunar New Year. Embattled President Tablus came out defiantly today with this statemen...

"Such cowardism is beyond belief, despite Hudecian customs of not celebrating Lunar New Year, we held the ceasefire to respect others cultures! This action shows Bonstock for what they really are, power-hungry, maniacal, evil imperialists. And so, Hudecia is dispatching another 10 divisions to Japan to free the Japanese from such tyranny. The first two are already one their way and the rest will soon follow..."

-Downtown Chiba-

A large crowd of protesters have encircled taken over the central train station in what could be the largest open display of resistance to the Bonstockian occupation. Protesters are lying down on the tracks, preventing the trains from moving and are encircling the entire station. Estimates of the size of the crowd range from 500 to 1 000.

-Ginza- Downtown Tokyo-

Several hundred office workers have declared an open strike and are in the streets marching and chanting. "Bonusutoku, jia ni kaeru zo! ima kaeru zo!" (translator: Bonstock go home! Leave now!)

It is thought that these actions are the result of Bonstock's policies which have alienated the majority of the population and insulted the Japanese by such an open violation of other's cultures.

Hudecia's 50 M777 artilerry pieces are deadly accurate thanks to the Japanese partisans. However, facing overwhelming bombardment, some casualties are taken. M1A2 Abrams and Hudecian troops take advantage of their dug in locations and suffer light damage. (we dont celebrate Lunar New Year so we were digging in)

The biggest losers of the day are the Japanese citizens themselves, pictures of bombs landing in the middle of cities and camps of wounded citizens are instantly broadcasted all over Tokyo.

ooc: Xiagou, this is war. I don't give a darn about some holiday I don't celebrate. And the Viet Cong celebrated it, but they attacked!

Escorted by some 170 destroyers, the ships make their way across the ocean.


OOC
He's a backstabbing piece of shit Xiaguo, why trust him? We have learned a lesson through the lives of our men, and we must put the lesson to good use....
And 170 destroyers? bonstock, thats retarded. I dont have that many lives, and certainly to have that many ships, wiht about a hundred crew on each, would have 17000 men aboard that... and 85 divisions?

And what do you mean "how does taiwan even have that many?" How THe FUCK DO YOU HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF TROOPS, 4000 of ur fighters and 85 f**** divisions lifted in a day? Shit man.

And PLEASE LET US DECLARE OUR FUCKING LOSSES, YOU MORON! I LET YOU CAPTURE MY LION DANCE TEAM SLIDE BUT I DIDNT SAY YOU CAPTURED MY FUCKING LIONDANCE TEAM OR THAT YOU EVEN ADVANCED THAT FAR INLAND, SO LET US DO THE DECLARING FOR OUR CASUALTIES!

IC
On Shikoku Island, ten divisions that arrived over the course of a month from Okinawa immediately form up and begin pounding the enemy invaders. Catamarans and shore based batteries launch up to three hundred scramjet missiles, each carrying a five thousand lb warhead.

Ten H9s zip by the escorted ships, fifteen parachutes billowing in their wake nearly twenty km away. THe parachutes disengage within seconds, and the projectiles plummeted into the water, missing the ships cleanly.

Once they're in the water, however, motors engage and bring them to within five km of the ships, and fifteen fifteen thousand lb projectiles explode immediately, sending shockwaves out for kilometers away.

500 strike craft from various divisions carry out a strike raid over Bonstock's capital, zipping in at high speed with J34s providing WIld Weasel support.

Meanwhile, over the Bonstockian Riksdag, a single H9 appears, escorted by J37s. two of them are shot down, but before they are, the H9 unleashes its single 15 thousand lb bomb and roars away, followed by its escorts.

Message:

First allow me to apologise for the delay and the amount of time wasted with our reply, we have been caught up in many other affairs, though I'll admit they are probably not as urgeant as this one.

As I am sending this we are preparing and mobilsing our naval fleets to allow assistance and relief from the Imperialist nations of Bonstock and Red Tide. Currently we are preparing about four nuclear carriers for your assistance (along with various Cruisers, Destroyer and frigates for their protection) and maybe about 4 SSN Submarines for additional protection.

As of yet we are not preparing an invasion force, only a supporting force but should your alliance require any more land forces we may be able to accomadate your request. However, this force could take around 3-4 weeks to arrive at the destination, advise as to which area of Japan we are to arrive in will be grateful.

Please, any requests of information you would like to share with us at this point will be brilliant, as we are unsure of your needs and hope our fleets and support vessals (about twice as many as the actual combat ships we have)

OOC: Iuthia is mobilising fleets but has yet to announce to the world why, there are numberous nations I could be moving towards because of the political state of Iuthia, but I will declare my reasons with time, well before any combat, thats for sure.

Over the days more and more soldiers poured into Tokyo and Yokohama 100,000 more soldiers had gone into Japann along with 1,000 more tanks.

Bonstocknian Marines dig into tranches, trying to survive the artillery. They wait for their artillery to bombard the enemy, waiting for reinforcement from Red Tide.

(ooc: Send your extra forces here, RT, to Shikoku and to Kyushu. Shikoku especially. As many forces as you can get, with LOTS OF ARTILLERY! EI, All right, 4,000 planes, 200 destroyers, and 100 divisions is a bit godmodding. I thought 3,000 planes flying at once was a bit over the top, and responded in the wrong way. Also, if you don't trust Swedes [or Americans of Swedish decent, which I am] anymore, then you shouldn't trust Vietnamese either! My dad learned that the hard way, back in 1968... his account of the battle gave me the inspiration for this, so blame Vo Nguyen Giep!)

Meanwhile, with Red Tide Marines replacing them, the Bonstocknian II MEF leaves by ship to Maropian Coast under cover of darkness and fog. Escorted by ships, they arrive at their destination on time.

In the Hudecian invasion area, the Bonstocknian divisions keep a contant droan of Smerches going, aiming them at individual tanks. Some damage is taken at Narita airport, but not much. Two planes full of relief supplies are downed, and explode; many Japanese will go hungry tonight. 305 troops are woundeed by artillery, 37 killed. Casualties are evacuated by helicopter to Narita.

ooc: 85 Divisions...are you insane??

And 425 ships...


Can we please keep this from turning into a DT-esque RP??? For the sake of my sanity, please....

The world's largest navy, as of 1989 (still is), was the US Navy with a total of 68 destroyers. This navy was at the height of the cold war, and a tremendous fiscal burden on the nation. YOu have just sent 170 destroyers on an escort mission...DO YOU REALIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF THAT??

-Kashima- Hudecian Controled Japan-

The Bonstockian strategy of targeting individual tanks on the frontline succeeds in some aspects. However, as soon as the artillery opens up, M777s return fire, targeting the Bonstockian artillery. 6 1A2 Abrams are disabled, 1 M777 is destroyed with total casualties of 19 dead, 567 wounded.

Soon the battle turns into an artillery stalemate as each side pounds the other with shells. (OOC: Reminscent of WW1 eh?).

-Chiba Train Station-

The Japanese protest grows larger and more defiant. Soon, not only the train station but nearby buildings have been occupied by the protesters. Some trains get through, but they are filled with protesters who begin staging sit-down strikes on the tracks at Kamatori, Makuhari, and Fujiyama stations. By doing this they have cut off all train traffic to or from Narita Airport.

-Ginza- Downtown Tokyo-

The unruly crowd grows stronger and begins to march on the Imperial Palace. Now numbering over 3 000 there is some looting along the way. They will reach the palace in half an hour.

-Radio Tokyo-

"A group of young Japanese pop singers have came out to condemn the violence that is tearing apart their country. Miho Komatsu, Utada Hikaru and Ayumi Hamasaki have all stated their aversion to war, and are encouraging a campaign of non-violent demonstrations aimed at ending the war and the occupation."

Ayumi-"we will never accept an occupation, however, this war is tearing apart our nation... the only way to end it is through non-violence. Like what protesters are doing in Chiba."

Utada- "tomorrow, the three of us will stage a sit down strike in the middle of Shinjuku station (OOC: more than 1 million people go through this station each day in RL). We encourage everyone to join us..."

nothing personal, and i wasnt really serious about the swede thing anyway; the only thing was, i needed ot make you realize that your people stood out in an Asian country like Japan (like the way Asian people stick out in a predominantly Caucasian but rapidly diversifying society like America).

But the thing is, you did sign a ceasefire, and you did break your word, so governments wont be inclined to trust you in the end. I was angry before, and I apologize for that (my New Year got f&*&& up by some stupid events). Still, you are one of the better RPers I've met, and even if you arent so reasonable with stats and tactics, you are quite excellent in terms of character development and plot twists, which i find out at the cost of my troops...
I do suppose i'm lucky this isnt a realwar; i'd have a hell of a time trying to be a general, with so many lives on my hands..

But 170 destroyers? AG is an excellent tactician, in many ways better than I am,
And can you post stats of Smerches and the HTTEM things u use? Or give us a site where we can find them? I wanna know what they are.

Not allowing the Bonstockians to escape, H9s pummel the front lines at Shikoku and Kyushu with fifteen thousand lb bombs, as fast as the factory lines can turn them out and the trucks can ship them to the bomber bases in Islandia and PRC China.
Meanwhile, having just been smashed off hte defensive, air forces regain their momentum by beginning air superiority attacks (fighter sweeps) carried out by J10NX5s, J37s, and J16s (please note that none of these are actually real craft, they are mine, and although similar in designation to other aircraft, are not really from another country, save mayb the J10, which was originally Chinese).

The three pop singers were immediatly arrested by the Red Tide MPs patroling the streets. They were being sent too the wrok camps in the artic.

Presidential Tower, People's Republic of Spyr

The President looked over the communique on his desk one more time. Some five hundred kilometres from his nation's borders, across the Sea of Japan, a war was raging. The brief cease-fire of the lunar new year had been smashed to pieces, while the greedy hands of imperialists grasped and scrabbled to catch hold of Asia, their despicable nature now laid bare for all to see. One could stand idly by and watch the fires of war, but then how soon would it be before one felt the shackles of distant empires tighten around one's own wrists. Whatever the cost, this had to be stopped... and it had to be stopped here and now.

The President turned and motioned to his aide.

"Prepare communiques to East Islandia, Agrigento, and the other noble nations who stand in defence of Japann. Inform them that Spyr stands ready to join them in their fight to drive the demons of imperialism out of Asia."

[OOC: If you require the help of Spyran troops, we can attempt to deploy across the Sea to assist].

IC:

-Akihabara- (Tech central of Tokyo)

Looters run rampant through the streets of Tokyo. Demanding the release several pop icons arrested only hours before.

-Imperial Palace- Tokyo

The crowd has swelled in the past half hour as it marched on the imperial palace. The crowd is making its way around the deep moat trying to reach the front gate. The crowd is still unarmed but mob mentality is setting in... a riot could break out at any moment.

*stunned silence as he stares at Red Tide's post*

....did you just send Ayumi Hamasaki to a siberian gulag???!!!

Bonstocknian MPs arrest the Red Tide MPs, and turn the pop singers loose. They do nothing about the protests, some of them waving to protestors, or just standing around watching. The Third Infantry Division waits near the Palace, guarding the gates incase this gets violent. Tear gas canister and Active Denial Systems are put into place, ready to deter a violent protest. But the protests were allowed to continue.

ooc: Red Tide, please don't arrest pop idols. They lower my soldiers' standing with the local women...

WYZ531S9 belonging to the Eighth Guards Armored Division on the road outside Osaka...

*******

H9s immediately begin pounding TOkyo and Yokohoma with bombs. Several specially modified DF2s begin airstrikes with their fifteen thousand lb bombs (each carries one of these and a five thousand lb bomb, and some Anshu Mark 9-AAMs for protection), dropping a total of some thirty fifteen thousand lb bombs (these things have rocket motors on the end, so after they're dropped, they become quite fast).

Zhou class SSBNs have launched a new, special type of cruise missile at the Bonstockian industrial facilities, a missile that whos warhead weighs up to ten thousand lbs (has three scramjet engines strapped to them, funny enough) but has an enhanced blast radius. Due to the heavy weight, only five Zhous have been configured for this so far, with each SSBN carrying up to ten of these missiles in addition to about fifty torpedoes. Hence, these craft are more vulnerable, and often have one or two Sea Dancer class SSNs or Imperial Dawn class SSNs as escort. More SSBNs, especially the new Huan (cloud) class are being produced, with extended range and the ability to fire more of these missiles if stripped of many other superfluous systems...

Anyhow, fifty of these missiles (all fifty around) are fired at the Bonstockian factories and the subs return to bases in Erdana Reef, Islandia, soon after, loading up on more missiles.

Meanwhile, assault cruisers, the heaviest firepower available to the Islandian navy, get into position and fire hundreds of missiles, about two hundred scramjet missiles (Type 500), three hundred extended range/speed Type 400MRS1s, and sixty ten thousand pounders from twelve various ships. The ten thousand pounders are aimed for major ports and harbors, and the rest are aimed for Red Tide headquarters in Japan and various munitions depots revealed by satellite intelligence.

Special forces have been inserted into Bonstock proper (as i said a few posts ago); they are working on destroying facilites and trying to find ways to unleash blackouts and computer viruses into the Bonstockian infrastructure....

Of course, seeing that Taiwan is in trouble, Air Force special manuever units take advantage of a two hour lull int he air battle (induced when radar communications were jammed everywhere, even on our side, by some weird bunch of combat hackers from Bukhta Detachment, one of my special forces groups) to insert into Maropian Coast and pinpoint targets for the bombers.

For now though, Islandia must use its power in Japan. Tokarev's fleet is helping to keep the marauding Bonstockians at bay in the Strait of Taiwan, but all available ships and troops have been diverted to reinforce the troops at Kyushu.

Now, bad news filter in; the men are breaking, and the lines are sagging under the weight of the surprise offensive...

Ayumi winks at the Bonstockian MPs who released them.

"You know what would make me happy?" she asks teasingly in English.

"What?" the Bonstockian soldier grins toothily.

"uchi ne kaeru... do you understand? no?" Her smile fades. "It means 'go home'... "

OOC: like I've been saying all along, your flirting campaign with the Japanese girls is your largest PR problem, especially among Japanese girls... granted - arresting the pop idols might be just as bad... but most will not trust you and almost all will not date your men, let alone become seriously involved...

IC:

-Tokyo-

The protest reaches the gate, having lost some steam by the lack of confrontation. Seeing the impressive 3rd Division at the gates, the crowd moves forward and continues to chant "uchi ni kaeru zo! ima kaeru zo!" (Go home! Leave now!). Without any projectiles to throw the crowd can not easily escalate to violence however.

-Tokyo-

The crowd at the Imperial Palace peters out toward the end of the day with no major violence. Japanese citizens are in general impressed by the level of professionalism shown by Bonstockian troops, if not the Bonstockian military tactics. Strike leaders vow to continue to protest until the end of the week.

Similarly, sit down strikes slowly peter out, despite the havoc they temporarily wrecked on the train system.

OOC:

Guys, you do realise it costs money to mobilise four carriers plus assorted units to protect them... in all I'm probably sending over 100 ships (including support) so please, tell me where I'm shoving this multi-million dollar force or at least acknowledge that they are coming... I'm not a stat-wanker when it comes to the escort ships, so I'll be researching that for a while, but till then... where? Cause if I enter an area full of enemy forces without backup I will not be happy.

"I sure would like to get off this damn island," the MP says back, somewhat jokingly. "I'd rather be a tourist."

Meanwhile, the Bonstocknian II MEF is reinforced and refitted in the Skishimas, and sent south somewhere.

Bonstocknian Airborne Laser Systems target the scramjet missiles, along with sattelite SDIs. Still, one missile gets through, destroying a small computer factory.

Bonstocknian soldiers wait, and watch. Hopefully the crowd will not get violent. But Active Denial systems are put in place, so if the crowd does get violent, then they will be dettered in a nonviolent way.

Kyushu front

Corporal Akibashi Norihiko of the Twenty Ninth Division snuggled into the tree, making himself as small a target as possible. He fired, and kept firing his SAR21 assault rifle at the advancing enemy, and popped a grenade into the launcher, and pressed the trigger.

The projectile arched high into the air and slammed into a patch of ground near several troops. Akibashi didnt wait to see what happened, as he was already up and running backwards, his own men covering him as he sprinted the hundred meters back to the fortified positions, just out of reach of the shockwave.

As he jumped over the makeshift bunker's sandbags and spidersteel Quik-Fab beams, he ducked and covered his head.

A huge explosion gushed out behind him as three widely spaced Fifteen thousand lb bombs, buried into the forest, were detonated. A fourth one was supposed to have gone off, but Akibashi wasnt sure waht happened, and ordered one of his men to call up an strike on the location of the fourth bomb.

Missiles from a nearby battery aboard an assault cruiser slammed into the bomb's location, sending shockwaves that were characteristic of fifteen thousand lb bombs throughout the forest.

Akibashi sighed. He got on the radio and ordered up another airstrike, fed by satellite intel downloaded from a portable computer connected to an older American made TAC-SAT. The location was where the enemy wascoming in hardest, and where the Islandians were surprised so rapidly and ultimately decimated, losing one man/woman out of every ten to wounds, death, or capture.

Akibashi prayed for the souls of the casualties as the H9s roared overhead, accompanied by J34s and Su30s.

Soon the bombs began to fall.

***********

"We would appreciate it if you would divert all your troops to our front for now," General Sung said in a video conference from her headquarters in Osaka, in a message to the Iuthians and the Spyrans. Bombs rained down outside, and her hardened spidersteel/kevlar/carbon fiber bunker didnt so much as shake.

She sighed. This war had turned into a two front war wihtin the blink of the eye, and she had to credit Bonstock's brilliant, if dastardly and damnably cowardly tacticians with their ploy.

"We need all the armor and troops we can get here at Kyushu and Osaka," she added, moving pictures into the display for emphasis as her aide, General Guo Yungwei narrated the events that transpired over the past few weeks.

The officers asked for help; no, they begged for it, in the name of stopping imperialism and oppression once and for all in Asia....

Bonstocknian Airborne Laser Systems target the scramjet missiles, along with sattelite SDIs. Still, one missile gets through, destroying a small computer factory.



You do realize that these things send out shockwaves for a mile, cracking the shit out of whatever comes right? And these are scramjet (Mach 3+) and they are surface skimming.

Even if they dont impact, they have a huge shockwave. Just informing you.

Ayumi giggles.

"I'd be glad to show you around Tokyo if you came back as a tourist," she smiled. Hearing a train moving noisily along the tracks she quickly excused herself and went back to her music recording studio.

OOC: I feel weird RPing for Ayumi Hamasaki so I'll stop now.

IC:
The nonstop back and forth artillery war between Hudecia and Bonstock can be heard from Chiba and even some parts of Tokyo when it is quiet enough. As the sun sets, flashes of light can be seen on the horizon.

-Kashima- Hudecian controlled Japan- 2300 hours-

Captain Smetka's office was thrice destroyed by Bonstockian artillery, at a cost of nearly a dozen officers. He swore as he was bandaged up, the shrapnel still protruding from his arm. Medics feared that removing the shrapnel before he got the the Wasp class AAS at sea would cause him to bleed to death.

With the body count rising, he had one last order to give here. Retreat.

Slowly the 2nd Armoured Division and 1st Expeditionary Division was being withdrawn under the cover of darkness.

Sea Knights flew M1A2's and APCs off the beach. Hummers would be left behind.

OOC: Sigh... then it looks like I'm going to have to evaluate this a little better to be honest... because it's my force is currently naval and air only. I could use more, but I thought I'd ask first. Doesn't matter, I'll look into it later when I'm not in the middle of something.

OOC: Just to let you know how I can afford 3,000+ aircraft, Taiwan has no aircraft carriers or long range bombers, and it's navy is rather neglected.

OOC: Bonstock, losses from my previous missile attack (page 4 or 5) on your arsenal ships, also the number of C-130s that were destroyed in the suicide mission over Taipei (brimming with advanced SAMs and fighters)

With the marine assault to the north being the targets of the most intense strike activity so far combined with massive MLRS bombardment, it appears they will fall shortly. A demand from surrender is sent to the leader of the assault.

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

Anti-Bonstock sentiment is high throughout the country following the firestorm; there have been flag burnings and rallies by the people against "the Great Satan" (A large portion of Taiwan's citizens are christians). A group of paratroopers were ambushed by angry civilians armed with rifles seeking revenge for the bombing of Taipei as they searched houses for snipers.

----------------------------------------
(Major news items)
*Thousands die in Taipei firestorm
*Taipei Index crashes
*Continued coverage of Japann

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

In the first counter-offensive of the war, two wings of F-22Ts and one wing of F-36T prepare to fly along the sea and enter Maropian territory. With radars completely powered down and active radar cancellation enabled, the aircraft would be nearly completely invisible to radar.

With a wing of F-22Ts armed with ultra-accurate Small-Diameter-Bombs, they begin strikes on Maropian landings strips a\nd airbases.

As always, the morons of the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Special Operations Air Detachments are called in with their tiltrotors, MC130s, MY8s, helicopters, and various other fixed wing aircraft to evacuate the Hudecians. Temporary airstrips are quickly set up in a matter of minutes (basically at any field; the cargo plane flies by once, drops off special fabri-steel paving, and then lands, loads, and then flies away ont he same pavement. On the way out, after takeoff, it drops a nice little fire thing to destroy it so the enemy cant use it.)

It is an interesting scene as hundreds of transports lift away the troops, while the J37s and J10NX5s of the First and Third AFD (advanced fighter division) and Fifth and Sixth Naval Air Combat Detachment provide cover, clashing with the Bonstockian Gripens and strike craft.

Assault cruisers offshore immediately begin to fire off their fifteen thousand pounders into Bonstockian forward positions, followed by scramjet missiles. After the planes leave and when most of them will be done, a pair of specially modified MY8s will drop by, leave a fifteen thousand pounder each, and take off, leaving a surprise for the troops.

Or someone could just drop it from above... either way.

Bonstocknian forces started a new system of "keeping tabs on the populace." Groups of soldiers would patrol the streets, on foot, in squads. Their military equipment was slung over their shoulder, and they wore Japanese military uniforms. Squads had an area to patrol, like part of a district. They were instructed to act firendly to the civilian populace, but were discouraged from flirting with the local women for political reasons. They acted like patrolling police officers, and started giving the still intact Tokyo police department more responsibility, but with Bonstocknian guidence. Each squad was assigned an interpreter, so that confusing situations did not result in violence. The soldiers were instructed to stop looting, but not with force, and to stop crime mostly. Which is why it was thought that the Tokyo police could handle this. But this was a special situation.

Plans were put underway for a Bonstocknian withdrawl, and handing of responsibility to the Tokyo police, with one mechanized division guarding the capital, one air assault division on call at Narita Airport, one Mechanized division guarding the northern reaches of the Capital, and two light divisions guarding the mountains surrounding Tokyo. Plans emphisized long range artillery and rapid deployment to attacks, but in case of a large scale attack to use guerrilla tactics. If this strategy were to be put in force, II Corps could be withdrawn, with responsibility handed over to I Corps. The planner of the operation, I Corps commander Lieutenant General Gustav Chen, who hailed from Maropian Coast, was seen as slightly lunatic by High Command. He received a call from Field Marshal Adolphus.

"Lietenant General Chen, I would like to offer some suggestions about the plan submitted to me."

"Yes, sir. What is it?"

"Really, are you sure we should withdraw forces in a time of war?"

"I do know that, sir. But we cannot continue this. We must create a sufficient, loyal Japanese force that can handle it for us. The Tokyo Metropolitan police force is still in perfect order, and has not been dissolved. I think that they should be given responsibility for patrolling the streets. We need only supervise them."

"But, Lietenant General, what about our offensive plans?"

"That will be handled by Bonstocknians, but at the rate I see it, we don't need a whole Corps attacking Sendai. According to the plans, we would need only a division or so. One division could hold off an entire army in such narrow quarters."

"And what basis do you have for comparison?"

"At the battle of Stamford Bridge, where Harald Hadraate of Norway battled Harold of England, one Norwiegen man on the bridge held off most of the English before being killed. But I would be surprised if a division can be totally killed in such a confined space..."

He was cut short. "I mind you, sir, that Harald of Norway lost at Stamford Bridge."

"Yes, sir, I know that. But we can surely hold off the Agrigentinians, as our flanks are guarded by mountains on one side and by the sea o the other. Provided with sufficient naval support, and perhaps a light brigade to patrol the mountains, we can hold off anything."

"I mind you, sir, that Operation Adrianople Viking is an offensive."

"An offensive that depends on defense, sir."

"Let us see how the next few days fare for Bonstock. Then we will consider your plans. Are you sure that the civilians will care, because they will probably want us all out."

"True. But a slight withdrawl will help, and will bolster morale among our own forces. And we most definatly need II Corps in Taiwan right now."

"That is true. I'm not sure III Corps of the Maropian Defense Forces could hold out against a full scale assault. Meanwhile, Operation Fishbait will continue as planned."

"I'm sure that will work, sir, with intended effects."

"I hope so. You did help plan it. Keep the situation in check."

"Yes, sir."

The Field Marshal put down the phone. "Had that mavrick not been stunningly victorious with his division in the Bonstock civil war, I doubt he would hold such authority."

MEFs were still slugging it out in Kyushu and Shikoku, digging in like WWI soldiers. The place was intended to be the Ypres of the East should the Asian Alliance launch an offensive.

The Azn Resistance's Rapid Reaction Forces (at least those based near my areas) have left for Japan.

The Azn Resistance's Rapid Reaction Forces (at least those based near my areas) have left for Japan.

ooc: What is the composition of the Rapid Reaction forces?

It is with great regret that, due to vicious acts of imperialist agression against the peoples of Japann and _Taiwan, and thus against all the peoples of Asia, and of the world, a state of War now exists between the People's Republic of Spyr and the imperialist nations of Bonstock & Red Tide. It is our most fervrent hope that the citizens of those nations shall realize the error committed by their leaders, and force a withdrawal so that peace and prosperity may once again come to us all.



------

The Spyran ships moved through the Sea of Japan in two battle groups, each consisting of a central vessel (one a carrier, the other a battleship) and escorts, as well as troop transports and supply ships. The first moved straight through the Sea, heading southward towards Kyushu, while the second moved directly across towards the northern coast of Japann.

------

Communication to East Islandian forces defending southern Japann:
Ships have been dispatched to assist you in maintaining your position as defender of Japann. One infantry division and one armoured division shall commence landings shortly along the norther coast of Kyushu, to be deployed as needed, with naval vessels to provide additional support, and the possibility of additional reinforcements over time.

------

Quietly, a trio of Spyran 'Orca' submarines moved through the tsugaru-kaikyo, before heading southward down the eastern coast of Japann

Of course, no offensive would be launched... or at least not yet. THe lines were held, and they were maintained, and the invasions at Kyushu were not faring very well with fifteen thousand pounders raining every day on enemy soldiers' heads. Of course, various lunatic special forces (Sea Dragons, even Bukhta Detachment's subordinate units) infiltrate the area of operations and manage to plant fifteen thousand pounders here and there, but it required a pretty strong f**** HMMVW (OOC yes, my nation uses those things cause theyre mad good) which would be left behind once the team evacked and blew the thing up behind their lines.

Only two of these attacks happened so far, but with no shortage of lunatic, pissed off SF operatives....
Well.. who knows?

*********

OOC
before i go any further, let me elaborate on the damage a fifteen thousand pounder can do (i've deployed about five hundred of these things so far, from a stockpile i've saved up for the previous Japann war).

Blast radius of several miles, shokwave for many more miles. Mostlikely, the blast radius will take about two-three miles in ideal conditions, and the shockwave about three miles more. Do understand, this is the most powerful thing short of a nuclear explosive, and i have no intention of deploying those.

Or I may be wrong with my stats... but in any case, water gel slurries, (which is what the bomb is made of) are scary. And bad-ass explosives, and be warned that my troops do carry those things around, along with C4.

SHould the enemy try to deploy their nukes and WMDs, retaliation will follow. That means Red Tide or you, Bonstock, will be burned to acrisp should he decide to try to blanket Tropical Paradise with flaming bombs and make it into Tropical Hell.

We're all gentlemen here.. cept for you Bonstock, but even you wouldnt use NBC weapons.

back to IC

As daily raids contintued on Maropian Coast and II Corps in Taiwan, help arrived in the form of four Marine Divisions, diverted from the fierce fighting in Kyushu, landing near the Bonstockian amphibious operation and quickly bolstering the Taiwanese defence forces.

Two fire fighting units, originally part of the 2nd Flag Reserve, arrive in Taipei and begin to help putting out fires.

The Bonstocknian government has declared a state of war with Spyr.

A group of 20 Virginia class submarines divide into two groups of 10, and go after the convoys. They go in silently, being one of the quietest subs Bonstock ever has produced. Then, they wait, on the path of the Spyr battle groups.

Six more submarines go after the Spyr submarines as they move into Japanese waters.

Seven Sea Dancer subs based in the area and two catamaran groups (twelve catamarans specializing against air, subs, surface, and land respectively, but all wiht modest capabilities in other areas) from the 2nd Flag offensive forces move towards the ships.

Before the subs reach the Spyrans, four long projectiles are launched in two directions, exploding wit a radius of ten km (two of them together are ten km), and sending a shockwave out for twelve km more, after sinking down to normal submarine operating depth.

The Sea Dancers await the signal of the catamarans, and quickly move in after the explosives.

I'm going to be gone for tonight. No one launch any more offensives until i get back please.

Oh, and one mroe thing;

(Pulls out red pockets and throws them to the AR members)

Dont let a spoilsport ruin your holiday!!
Happy New YEar!

ooc: First of all, II Corps is still in Japann. III Corps is in Taiwan, but still in Maropian Coast. Marine units are trying to attack.

And do you REALLY want to use such a powerful bomb on my cities? Port Yuko, my country's capital, has an OBSCENE population density, something like 1,000,000 per square mile. Unless you WANT to be branded a war criminal, I'd highly suggest you not target my cities.

But, since you've gone and done it...

ic:

In Port Yuko, the Riksdag and much of downtown Port Yuko was shattered by a large bomb. At least 20 million people are homeless, 2 million wounded, and 1 million killed. Bonstocknians have vowed revenge. High altitude fighters now patrol the skies, and SDIs are on full alert. Anti-submarine ships are sent to patrol the waterways of Bonstock, to prevent this from happening again.

The blasts had little affect on the heavily entrenched troops, but some artillery is destroyed. Still, operations are unhindered. Bonstocknians wait for the counter attack, in Kochi, Miyazaki, and near Sendai, which has just fallen to II Corps (ooc: It doesn't seem like they have posted any defesnes, which I requested; I assume that Sendai was an open city. If I am wrong, tell me so I can ammend my actions).

Airborne Laser Systems are sent up to clean the skies of Taiwanese fighters. Targetting the planes at ranges beyond missile range, they lock on and fire. Some 100 747s have been modified to do this, heavily escorted by JAS 39s.

143 C-130s were lost in the Taiwan raid, mostly on the return mission.

The Spyran battlegroups continue on course. The northern group quickly approaches its destination in the harbour at Otari, Hokkaido, while the southern group must cover much more distance to reach its target of Kyushu. In both groups, four ASW escorts, as well as supporting helicopters, keep watch for sub-oceanic ambushes, while AEGIS vessels do the same for the skies.

-------

The Orca subs also keep on course. Unfortunately, their primary role as launch platforms means they cannot maintain the movement silence of other modern submarines, and are thus more vulnerable to detection... knowing this, they keep well clear of surface naval assets and shore installations.

Wow, it appears we have a highly unrepetant RPer out here, Bonstock.

Oh yes, I am West Coral Sea, and I know East Islandia. In the coruse of RP, i was ssupposed to have broken off from him (i had all his space facilities, so i became space tech nation).

Sigh... should get back to training, but i'll post before i go.

%^*&%*&^%*&%*%#$@%$@#%$ <--- (my border)

IC
A squadron of Zulu Vektor Atmospheric-Planetary interceptors rose into geosynch orbit, firing their Starflare missiles at the Bonstockian satellites which have plagued allied forces for so long. While technically not part of Islandia or the Azn Alliance, WCS was an ally, if a former breakaway people, and helped out their former...(occupiers perhaps? But not as bad as the otehrs) from time to time.

Of course, if Bonstock wanted to talk laser defence systems that ACTUALLY WORKED, unlike his moderntechnotquitefuturetech lasers that seemed to have pinpoint accuracy, WCS was willing to teach Bonstock all about it...

ooc: East Islandia, sorry I have to launch this last offensive; I have to go to bed soon, and I have swim team in the morning.

ic:

The Bonstocknian II MEF with all its ships move over through the Philippines, and into the South China Sea. There, the Arsenal Ship Grossbonstocknia and her escorts launch 300 scramjet cruise missiles at the outposts on the Paracel Islands.

http://zhenghe.tripod.com/maps/paracelislands.jpg

Occupied by China (barely) but claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam, the Paracels could have vast oil fields, and are in a strategic location. Osprey helicopters land on islands, dropping in Marines to secure them. Woody and Duncan Islands are quickly secured, and the 2nd Marine Air Wing takes control of the airbase on Woody Island. The rest of the islands are heavily fortified, with artillery being built into bunkers by engineers. Trenches are made all over the islands, occupied by machine gun wielding troops. 144 JAS 39Cs provide air cover while Bonstocknian ground troops fortify their new possetion and raise their flag.

(ooc: I went by RL here. China has some troops occupying the islands, but not that many, so I think. The Bonstocknian MEFs are just like American MEFs, only with some Swedish equipment. We figure that the islands could be taken by a large, overwhelming force almost instantly. I don't have reason to believe that the islands have much more then a few hundred troops at most. Anyway, now I have some 50,000 troops there.)

ooc: This is a modern tech war. No space interceptors. Or I bring in my Klonor-built spacefleet and kill you all.

Bonstocknian submarines dive down to incredible depths, as the catamaran's weapons explode above them. Then they go on silently, so as not to be detected again. They arrive at their target areas, and stop, waiting for their targets.

thanks to themalufuntctionning piece of shit known as the server, i deleted my last five posts... and i want to inform you that i have five disi...shit divisions in the paracels and spratlys, from the China JAPANN war. AND STOP OVERRUNINNING ME IN A MATTER OD OF DAYS!! ITS BS AN DI DONT FUCKING LIKE IT WHEN I DONT HAVE A CHANCE TO RESPOND. but i go to sleep now, and ur a swimmer? kool, i didnt know that. i'm shitty as s...at sim...at swimming, eh sry, can dlelte my words on this post, or i delete the entire post, and i swim too.. badly tho. goodnite

OOC: Out of curiosity Bonstock, did you reduce your naval numbers or are you still claiming 170 destroyers on a escort mission?

Are you using all your Naval forces or only some of them?

O.K. Just FYI this is the current status of my troops in Japan

currently
Sendai:
2nd,3rd Expeditionary Divisions (about 10 000 lightly armed troops)

Evacuating from near Tokyo:
1st Expeditionary Division (5000 lightly armed troops)
1st and 2nd Armoured Divisions (10 000 troops and tanks etc...)
3rd Infantry Division (5000 heavily armed troops)

On its way to Japan (Sendai)
5th Armoured Division (5000 troops and tanks)
6th, 7th 8th Infantry Division (15 000 heavily armed troops)


Naval forces:
1 Nimitz Class carrier
1 Iowa class battleship
19 Halifax class Destroyers
2 Zumwalt Class Destroyers
13 New AOR transports
5 Mistral Class AAS
1 LHD Wasp class AAS
50 F/A 18
2 Harrier 2s
70 Blackhawk Helicopters
10 Sea Knight Helicopters

I'll add more if I've forgoten some.... I encourage everyone to do something similar just so we can all keep track of what we all have.

Angry quick edit.

OOC: Chill... I know the servers can be crap at times but you will find that if you copy your post into a text file or just copy it first you can save it before you post. It just takes a bit of patience.

Meanwhile I would suggest you use a calm tone when arguing about statistics and the blatant speed of which things happen (it will take my forces some time, probably until tomorrow night to reach the area because Iuthia isn't an eastern nations.)

I would rather not enter this war and find my enemy has somehow got a stupid amount of Naval units, seeing as they are exspensive to build and maintain. Of course, I've not read everything so I could be jumping the gun. But my four Carrier fleet is not small to say the least... four Carrier represent a large threat as they can each carry arround 75 planes. Never mind the various units being brought to protect them and provide a strong fighting force incase it turns into a Sea vs. Sea thing.

If you are using alot of ships you need to explain why you have tons of ships, then explain how you are supporting that many ships (seeing as 75% of your force will be support ships to keep them running).

Another note, we all probably have satalites covering this thing, your average nation will have at least 50 spy satalites and 100 commincation satalites, so large force movements and naval movements (above surface of course) can be watched and updated pretty easy.

I'm also a little unsure on lasers because of the ammount of power needed to make them an effective weapon, but I'll look into that before asking questions.

meh... I'll shut up, but I just want you guys to think on it a little.

The southern Spyran battlegroup joins the East Islandian catamarans, hopeful that the added defence will assist them in reaching Kyushu without incident.

--------

The northern battlegroup keeps to the shoreline, hoping for additional protection due to Xiaguo's control of Hokkaido. At last, they come 'round the coast and reach Otaru harbour.

---------

As they reach a position north of Sendai, the Spyran submarines surface and begin assembly and launch of their primary payload, a pair of Dragonfly helicopters.

OOC: The ABL/YAHLA system is for use against ICBMs in the launch phase. I have them (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63504&highlight=) from a company purchase as well if the ABL is acceptable post-modern tech, but I don't think it is.

More troops poured into Tokyo from air and sea. their numbers have increased by 50,000.

The words LTN apeared on the screen as the Red Tide national anthem played. Tatyana Kapinski could be seen preparing for the broadcast. The music, stopped the words faded, and Tatyana turned towards the camera.

"Greetings, I am comrade Tatyana Kapinski here at LTN studios in Tokyo. In the headlines, we and our glorious ally Bonstock are winning the war agianst the imperialist pigs of the far east, rumor has it that a new weapon will be unleashed on the enemy soon. We are also aware that the people are staging illegal protests in attempts too get us too leave. WE remind you that the punishment of illegally protesting is DEATH. And now for the weather... I hear there might be a typhoon bewing comrade Ilyana."

Meanwhile at the just behind the frontlines.

50 160 MM artillery guns were brought too bear. targetting enemy artillery and using rapid reloading systems too pound the enemy into a bloody pulp. The Bonstockian forces were reinforced with 1000 tanks and 10,000 soldiers.

At Tokyo...

A COMMANCHE helicopter lowered itself over a protest. The bullhorn on the side blared out one warning

"THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING! RETURN TOO YOUR HOMES NOW! YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN A ILLEGAL PROTEST WHICH IS PUNISHIBLE BY DEATH! RETURN TOO YOUR HOMES NOW!

-Tokyo-

The crowd jeered the helicopter crew as it came lower. One young man vented his frustration by yelling "aho!" (translator pauses... um...: idiot) and throwing a piece of concrete at the helicopter.

"Ike!" the crowd screamed in unison (translator: Go!). The crowd refused to budge although several looked at the Bonstockian troops expecting them to intervene.

OOC: about Sendai... you'll have to talk to Agrigento about it....

see page 6 of this forum it seems he was attacking you up there ... but again he'll have to clear this up because it is not an open city. I dont think he'd give it up without a fight but we'll have to wait till he gets on and ask him about it.

Bonstocknian submarines dive down to incredible depths, as the catamaran's weapons explode above them. Then they go on silently, so as not to be detected again. They arrive at their target areas, and stop, waiting for their targets.

Wow... your subs can dive down to a few km? Damn man, tell me what your subs are made of; i could use some of that sh*t in my craft...

But that's difficult tos ay the least... make subs dive in tandem and down a few km.. you yourself said incredible depths, so just how credible are you right now?

I have subs made of Kevlar/Spidersteel (spider silk weave compressed into an alloy and interwoven with kevlar strands, about half the weight of steel and five times as strong). National geographic wrote an article on spidersilk in one of their issues (i'll dig that up if i have time) and many sites also have research on spidersilk and various high strength textiles. It's quite interesting too, and the sh*t is very strong, so i use it ina lot of stuff also....

And i've done research on this, in a thread with marimaia, agrigento, and pablicosta entitled "joint research," although no one really seemed very enthusiastic about it, and i have derived a few ways to make spidersilk and to a greater extent, spidersteel.

********
Paracel Islands
The men of the Fifty Second Marine Division watched as the missiles impacted into the ground outside their bunkers. Spread out over Woody Island, Rocky Island, Lincoln Island, and Duncan Island, the Fifty Second Marine Division, Thirty Eighth and Twelfth Naval Swift Craft Detachments (about fifty or so light patrol catamarans armed with long range missiles, five or six Typhoon class catamaran destroyers each and some repair and refit ships), Ninety Fifth, and Eighty Ninth Marine Brigades (89th, 95th are Second Flag Reinforced Garrison Brigades which operate anti-ship, anti-air missile batteries, about a hundred or so combined, in the area). the 89th was based around Money, Robert, and Pattle Islands, and on nearby Discovery Reef, the Ninety Fifth and possibly a brigade to reinforced company of Chinese Marines were garrisoned.

Vulladdore Reef was home to an Islandian oil drilling company; as soon as the missiles fell, they blew up their equipment and left, fleeing aboard catamarans to Money Island. The Twelfth had already abandoned and destroyed its light base in Passu Keah, and the 38th was riding around, shooting off their scramjet missiles and even one or two fifteen thousand pounders Command had shipped in the other day.

Right now though, Money, Robert, Pattle, Rocky, Woody, and Lincoln are garrisoned, with the employees from Tropical Oil Inc fleeing to Money Is. Of course, their equipment was destroyed, and they took casualties (about three boats were sunk on the way there, out of seven frigate weight craft, not really frigates, but the same displacement as them).

All in all, about fifteen thousand men from the 52nd were garrisoned there, ten thousand from the two brigades, and said number of ships from before. The aircraft, three squadrons, were destroyed completely once the bombardment started; however, nearby craft from the Spratly Islands have begun airstrikes with Fuel AIr Explosives and scramjet missiles on the Bonstockian fleet...

Anshu SAMs and cruise missiles are in abundant supply however, so the garrison begins to shoot hem off...

SO you have:
Passadores
Vuladores
Passu Keah
Bombay Reef
Triton Island

Discovery reef is really occupied by Chinese troops, like i said earlier. Oh, and the water here should be too shallow to allow for submarines.

Time for explaining to be done, so I'll list my forces before I go off to my doctors:

Air
First, Second, Third, Sixth Advanced Fighter Divisions (three hundred aircraft each, thirty of which are support planes, namely KH9 tankers, IL76 transports)
.....Based in China, mainly in Nanjing and hangzhou (eastern seaboard)

Forty Second, Twenty fifth, and Thirty First Advanced Fighter Divisions, involved in protecting taiwan, each with three hundred aircraft, 240 combat aircraft that is
Based in Fujian and southern Chinese provinces

Fifth, Sixth, Twenty Second Fighter Brigades (three hundred aircraft each, 22nd is a Second Flag Reserve unit crewed by mainly Vietnamese, Malaysian, and Chinese pilots)
Musa Brigade (elite Korean fighter unit, 250 J37s)
the other brigades have about 150 planes

5th, 6th, 7th Special Operations Air Detachments, Separate Rear Echo Support Group- (these are stats for ALL three combined) 360 aircraft, about 150 MY8 and MC130 cargo planes, 60 tiltrotor V5X craft, 60 V4 Special OPerations helos, 30 KY8, Y8 craft from the Rear Echo support group

9th Independent Strike Division, composed of 1st, 4th, 6th Independent Strike Regiments, each with about three hundred bombers and about 50 support craft in their support groups (by now, its about eight hundred forty craft, down from nine hundred in the beginning due to anti-air fire)

12th Independent Strike Regiment based near Korean airspace


I'll finish later...

Forces in Spyr
Due to its position on the other side of the Japan Sea, most Spyran ships, missiles, and aircraft have sufficient range to reach Japann.

On a side note, Spyran air facilities and ports are open to support allied forces needing resupply.

The chopper opens fire on the crowd with machine guns and guided missiles. More copters joined in (a few releasing their rocket pods). Tanks rounded the corners and began too fire on the crowd with both the cannons and machineguns.

-Ginza Area- Tokyo-
Shoppers and businessmen alike gather at the large windows in the Ginza area watching in horror as the protesters attempt to flee the Red Tide tanks and helicopters. Few escape death, the machine guns and missiles tearing the crowd apart in seconds.


-Akihabara Area- Tokyo-
A crowd had gathered at a TV shop in Akihabara (part of Tokyo). Pictures of the massacre were broadcast over TV Tokyo. No one spoke, until the TV screens went black as Red Tide cut the network to prevent more pictures from being seen.

The crowd ran in every different direction, telling everyone what they had just seen. Some refused to believe at first, not here, not in Tokyo, its impossible, they said. But news was spreading fast, person to person, the massacre was being made known.

Fifteen thousand pounders scramjet missiles are launched by Zhou class SSBNs towards targets in Red Tide; fifty of these missiles are launched, and another hundred Fuel AIr Explosive warheads from H9s, heading towards the industrial sector of Red Tide...

-Kashima- Hudecian Controlled Japan- 0600 hours-

Using LCACs and Sea Knights the 1st Armoured Division begins to move its M1A2s back to the transports waiting offshore. Artillery from the 3rd Infantry Division is moved back to the shoreline to prepare if for evacuation. Slowly the beachead collapses in on itself.

Currently onshore still :
5 000 3rd Infantry Division
45 M777 artillery pieces
125 Humvees (most are being destroyed)
100 APCs


OOC: On second thought... Bonstock... the worse problem with your occupation is Red Tide :? . Also, I'm sure you'll want to take advantage of my troops falling back to launch an offensive so I'll wait till you post an attack.

Naval

Eight Surface Engagement Groups (about a eighty ships of various sizes, including cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and two assault carriers)...

Three Amphibious Assault Groups (Six amphibious assault ships, three light carriers, 30 cruisers, destroyers, frigates, six divisions of Marines)

Twelve wolfpacks (120 subs)

Twelve Catamaran strike groups from the 2nd Flag Naval Reserve
(five near hte Taiwan Strait, three around Spratlys and Paracels, and another four in Southern Japan)

Seven Swift Craft Detachments (175 swift cruisers and attack boats)
Two based in Paracels, three in Spratlys, two in Japanese coastal waters

Infantry and Ground forces
Eighth Marine Armored Division
Third Lancers Armored DIvision (about three hundred tanks and two hundred IFVs per Division)

6 divisions behind the two armored divisions (spread through southern Japan), with about 15,000 men each
( they are: Twentieth, Thirtieth, Fifty First, Eightieth, 34th Guards, and Ninety Second, and Tao Guards, Assault Divisions)
2 divisions concentrated in Kyushu and Shigoku
1 division on Spratlys, two reinforced brigades (check out earlier post for specifics)
Three divisions in Okinawa
5 Air defence brigades in Taiwan and 3 in PRC China


Elite forces (small group, special unit)

Pathet Cong Ranger Brigade (Six battalions are present, with about thousand per battalion, as is standard for all Ranger and elite Brigades)
-Three battalions scattered across battlefront, undetermined number
-Three battalions in Shigoku
Imperial Malay Rangers Brigade (three battalions en route to Southern Japan)
Sunyeiro Brigade (elite, mostly native Islandian jungle combat unit with four battalions shipping to Kyushu)
Pearl Guards Brigade (Two battalions; Chu Company is currently behind enemy lines)

Tactics are for amuteurs.

Little wonder, considering how most of your offensives turn out

Pacific Ocean, northeast of Sendai

From the three submarines, the six helicopters buzz into the sky, one by one. Below, several inflatable boats are deployed from the subs, and boarded by Special Police troops (Spyr's elite forces). Together, the boats and helicopters head ashore north of Sendai, to rendezvous with Agrigentan and Hudecian forces in the area. Though the force was merely a token presence... six helicopters and perhaps a platoon of troops, as well as the submarines... it was hoped that it would indicate to allied troops that they were not alone in the fight against the evils of Bonstock and Red Tide.

After finishing the offload operation, the three subs dive once more, beginning active patrol of the coastline for any enemy shipping attempting to approach the shore.

---------

Northern Sea of Japan

The long, thin vessels skimmed over the surface of the water at incredible speed, arrayed in a loose formation... vehicles. Too fast to be ships, but too low to be aircraft, the two dozen WGE (wing-in ground effect) vessels swept across the Sea in just over an hour and a half, before splitting up into smaller groups and zipping along the coast of Sado island, offloading their payloads of troops and supplies at various landing points along the shore. Local Japannese government and police staff were located, and back pay distributed to them so that they could return to work, while food and medical supplies were made available to the civilians who needed them. Assembly of a communications tower began quickly, on the northern side of the island, while the southern side was fortified with hardpoints housing infantry-carried artillery and SAMs. The two escorting cruise missile WGEs did not land, instead waiting in Ryotsu harbour so that they could intercept any enemy retaliation. Behind the WGEs, moving much more slowly, seven Orca submarines cruised through the ocean in search of enemy shipping headed towards Sado.

[OOC: East Islandia- which Kyushu port should my fleet be heading to?]

ooc: Ack! I thought there were hardly any forces in the Spratleys/Paracels... i godmodded a bit, I should have asked first.

*thinks for a moment*

for clarity, tell the dispositions of ALL of your forces. I want to find a place where no one has been before...

Bonstock's forces:

15 mechanized divisions in Pacific (10 in Japan, 5 in Maropian Coast)
30 mechanized divisions in Bonstock proper
9 Light/airborne divisions (2 landing in Taiwan, 5 in Maropian Coast,
6 Marine Expeditionary Forces (1 in Shikoku, 1 in Kyushu, 1 in transit , 2 attempting to land in Taiwan, 1 in the Sakishima Islands)
108 fighter wings (54 JAS 39s each, directives given for replacement with F-22, but this has not materialized; 20 wings in Japan, 20 in Maropian Coast, and the rest in Bonstock proper, conducting CAP that should bring down H-9s and missiles)
5 Airborne Laser Defense wings (54 747s with mounted lasers; two in Maropian Coast, 1 in Sakishimas, 2 in Bonstock proper)
24 aircraft carriers (CVX), 144 destroyers (Ste. Evremonde class, basically Zumwalts)(ooc: barely any other ships in Bonstocknian arsenal; US has 50 or so, I'm three times as large with a better economy), 360 various merchant vessels, six arsenal ships, and 48 submarines.

I'm not really sure if my submarines could be detected that well... they are sorta quiet. Really quiet. Your fleet should not have just sent out stuff to get me, you should have run into me and then sent out your catamarans)

ic: The Bonstocknian divisions roll into the Tokyo streets. In a demonstration, they shoot at a Red Tide tank.

ooc: ARGH, red tide. You are really skrewing this up. Let the crowds riot, as long as they don't loot/cause damage/attack you. Thats the one thing the US has failed to do. We want to win their hearts and minds. We want to attract them to our cause. Why else are my soldiers forced to wear Japanese uniforms? Because they want to look normal.

If you don't apologize for this massacre and comphensate for the loss of life, I WILL switch sides on you. And you will be in smackdown hell.

ic: Aboard the Bonstocknian arsenal ship [i]Beowulf, Seaman 1st class Roger Zhang manned his radar post. He noticed on his screen dozens of lights flashing; missiles, incoming, and tons of them. Too many for CIWS and lasers to intercept. He quickly ran to the CIWS control, and started shooting wildly at the missiles as they approached the pride of the Bonstocknian fleet. Suddenly, a missile hit near the rudder. The ship was out of control. Another missile hit, despite Roger's best efforts. Right in the port side. A gash was blown in the ship's hull. The captain ordered the crew to abandon ship. Roger pulled on his life preserver, and dove into the water. Then a missile hit the bridge. The ship exploded in a massive fireball. Bobbing up and down, he could see far away as another arsenal ship, RBS Grossbonstocknia, was hit, and turned away to safety. Besides him, his ship went down with all hands.

Aboard an Airborne Laser 747, Captain Jimmy Tamerlin targetted his laser. He saw a Taiwanese jet fighter. He locked on, and fired a deadly laser blast. Then he turned to the next one. He felt like an animal, so mechanically targetting and downing Taiwanese fighters, blowing lives out of the sky. But his conciousness was subdued, as he worked frantically in fear of a SAM hitting the engine. The image flashed through his 24 year old mind. He saw his wife back in Bonstock, and his three children. The adrenaline pumped into him.

Manning a machine gun near Kochi, Shigoku, Marine Pfc. Walter Hartmann waited in fear. The East Islandians could attack at anytime, so he thought. And when they did, he would have no defense against tanks, save the TOW missile launchers manned by another battalion. He hoped that he could simply survive to see Bonstock again.

In Taiwan, paratroopers start evacuating. They make a march for the sea, where Marines have established a fragile beachhead to the west of Taipei. They hoped to get out before the beachheads collapsed.

Losses so far:

1 arsenal ship destroyed, one badly damaged.
2 submarines sunk
3 factories destroyed
1 resevoir destroyed
2 oil refineries destroyed
167 C-130s lost
134 JAS 39s destroyed
1,254 personnel killed
14,895 wounded

ooc: I need specs on the H-9

The chopper opens fire on the crowd with machine guns and guided missiles. More copters joined in (a few releasing their rocket pods). Tanks rounded the corners and began too fire on the crowd with both the cannons and machineguns.

I believe, that in light of this, Bonstock and Red Tide should not be able to claim ANY locals as guerrilla troops. Their role as oppressors has been made clear, and the role of the Asian Alliance as helpers of their asian brothers and sisters is now obvious...

-edit- sorry thought Saipan was Japanese-

The Hudecian evacuation from near Chiba is complete. Surprisingly, the Bonstockian troops did not launch a major attack. Maybe they just didn't want to bother, Commander Kimura thought as he gave the order to get underway. Still they had lost over 100 Humvees in the evacuation, they would have to wait until reinforcements arrived near Sendai.


OOC: About the US thing, they are doing exactly what you were doing, letting the people riot/protest/loot. And I must say, dressing in Japanese uniforms would look really good, except, if your troops are caucasian then it looks kinda like a true occupation. If they are not, then the Japanese may confuse them for actual independent Japanese troops - making them feel like they are more independent and not being occupied. Also, is the Diet (the Japanese Parliament back up and running? - just a thought).

-Tokyo- Imperial Palace-

The Emporer read the news of the massacre in a grave manner. Never, not in all his years of reigning had something like this happened. Not here, not in Tokyo. How would he explain it? How could he rationalize allowing Red Tide and their Bonstockian allies remain in Tokyo after this disgrace?

There was always one way out of the situation. He looked at the antique samuri sword that hung over the fireplace in his study. No, it shouldn't have come to this. He would face the Bonstockian occupational er... civil authority and force some concessions out of them.

The Bonstockians seemed honest enough about trying to win the hearts of Japanese, even if they had made some cultural errors early on...

As Tanks move in from the first line of Offense, they in-counter many defensive units and had halted just 7miles away from the second line of efense held by Bonstock. Until more help has been aquired. We will have to hold the line of Offense until that is achieved.

The chopper opens fire on the crowd with machine guns and guided missiles. More copters joined in (a few releasing their rocket pods). Tanks rounded the corners and began too fire on the crowd with both the cannons and machineguns.

ooc: We're all invaders to them. Red Tide has a pretty bad reputation, which is hurting my image, however. But I'm gonna crack down and make sure that Red Tide can't keep doing that.

Thats why I blew up one of his tanks to make him stop. I'm gonna banish his forces to Kyushu and Shikoku if they don't straigten up.

Then again, I see opperatunity...

ic: Bonstock condemns its ally Red Tide for its destructive conduct in Tokyo. Bonstocknian forces of the 1st Infantry Division are now patrolling the streets to prevent it from happening again.

JAS 39s patrolling the skies are ordered to shoot any Red Tide helicopter caught fighting civilians.

Several announcements on Japanese radio and television have said that Bonstock will not tolerate further Red Tide battering of civilians, and will switch sides should it happen again.

ooc: Now the civilians will think highly of me for bashing my ally.

A transmission is sent to East Islandia.

Encrypted message

To: Premier Chai Jun
From: Bonstocknian High Command
Subj: Request

Premier Chai,

Our nations have no real quarrel. Both of us were trying to prevent imperialism by keeping Japan from invading China and all of Asia. But you seem to see our nation with grave misconceptions. I would like to correct those misconceptions.

The Federal Republic of Bonstock, Maropian Coast, and the Sakishima Islands are in reality not at all hostile in a white imperialist way. I mind you that our population is a cosmopolitan one seeking a base in East Asia from which to trade and draw immigrants into our expanding lands. Our population is made up of at least 60% Asians, should you include Maropian Coast and the Sakishimas. Most of the rest is mixed race, generally part European and part Asian. Only 10% of Bonstock's total popuation, Maropian Coast and the Sakishimas included, is pure white. And that is shrinking as most of Bonstock proper becomes more dominated by people of mixed races.

I believe you see us as a bunch of blond heathens from our Scandinavian homeland. That may have been the case with our Viking ancestors, who came when Swedes explored the reaches of Asia, and found Bonstock. The nation's capital, Port Yuko, has been a cossroads for travel and trade, becoming an especially cosmopolitan city. But it is a city that is filled to the brim with populace. In the past fifty years, our population has exploded from 5 million to 1.3 billion. And that is only Bonstock proper. In the 24 years Bonstock has officially owned Maropian Coast, it has grown at a similar rate. As of now, the Bonstocknian empire has nearly 2.4 billion citizens.

This is simply too much for our small territory to span over. Though we build buildings higher and higher, we still cannot contain the mass of people in Bonstock. Increasingly, our nation has come to love and respect Eastern Asia. We were much saddened when Japan grew as a threat to Asia, and our interests. We pledged our firm support to remove their government from power with you. Our forces were still deploying to honor our commitment when tensions in Bonstock proper boiled over. Our capital was siezed by rebels, who instantly sought to destroy the sole remainder of the government, Maropian Coast. In the bitter clash that followed, millions of Bonstocknians were killed. In one day, our forces managed to reestablish stability in Bonstock.

It was by no means a pretty takeover. It left scars that run deep in our society to this very day. We sought to unite our people once more through honoring our commitment to defend Asia from Japann.

You mistrusted our actions greatly, leading to our current war, which has decended to a slugging match with the potential to kill million of our sons and daughters.

Unwittingly, you have erased the tensions left by the civil war. Bonstock and Maropian Coast are now inseperable brothers.

We seek not imperialist rule over Japan. We seek stability for their population under a new government. We think that we should for now put aside our differances and seek only to rebuild Japan. The Japanese have suffered long enough, and so have our people.

We should hold a ceasefire to negotiate a new government for Japan. If this is accomplished, then perhaps our differences can help us craft a new, stable, and peaceful government for Japan.

We thank you for your understanding.

HAHA RANDOM HOT JAPANESE CHICK

*******
On a tight beam comm channel, an officer on General Sung's staff instructs the Spyr fleet to:
Head to Miyazaki in Kyushu; engineers are setting up a temporary harbor as we speak, and it is sufficiently far away from Bonstock's landings to be protected easily.
*****
Evening, Osaka-Kobe line
General Sung's WYZ531HS9 IFV stopped at a clearing some three km from the front, loudspeaker activated. In pleading tones, Sung's psy-ops officers, two young female Majors with fluency in various languages, began entreaties to the soldiers, telling them to leave while they could, that they were not enemies of Asia, only their generals and officials were. While Sung and another crewman manned the turret and the driver's position, two ATS7000 point defence units stood guard, along with a pair of SSX1 MBTs and two squads of Pathet Cong Rangers, guns trained on approach vectors, in case someone should attempt to assassinate General Sung and her crew.

There were more bunkers up ahead, and they were within Islandian held territory, but it was also best to be cautious..

******
Forty minutes after her speech, twelve tanks fromt he Third Lancers rolled over the front lines in a probing attack on Bonstockian lines in the dead of night. Shells exploded, and the rumble of tank engines and the whine/flash of cannon fire was all that anybody could hear and see.

OOC: I already posted where my troops were Bonstock. Also, we need a Japan to negotiate with... what happened to the person who plays Japann in the other thread?

I Understand Bonstockis not a REAL enemy as Bonstock does enforces The Moral Acts of anything toward others. However, Red Tide is looting, killing, and being the Japanese in Asia in 1930's-1940's.

If Bonstock or Red Tide follow these agreements, then we may be able to put our arms down.

Acting Premier Park as she leaves the War Council today

Communique to General Field Marshal Adolphus

From Acting Premier Park Hyemin

Due to the fact that Premier Chai was injured, first in an attack on her plane during a conference with you on our territory, and then later in a biological attack initiated by an unknown party, I will speak in her stead and on the behalf of the Islandian People's Republic.

We do not see you as a blonde horde of barbarians, and it is the policy of our government to disallow racism and discrimination, as we were, after all, founded by persecuted, disowned, and exiled Asians who were forced upon the shores of Islandia nearly a thousand years ago.

However, we do see you as imperialists, and as an undeterminable people, and what I mean by that is we are not certain of our relations with you at the time. True, we are at war, but the issue is not how you look, nor your current holdings in Japan, but the fact that we genuinely fear for the future of Asia, due to various claims by Bonstock in the past. For example, during a certain conflict with Mallberta (OOC i think thats it), you offered to assist us, but only the terms that we "give you" various ports to "protect." Also, at an Asian Alliance meeting, you asked us to "overlook your wishes to rule over Asia, politically or economically."

So, may I ask, what led to this change of heart? Has Bonstock suddenly decided to right all the wrongs of our recorded encounters with us and wish to negotiate for a greater Asia? Or are they simply buying time, ready to launch yet another surprise offensive to catch us off guard and obliterate and reduce us to submission, once and for all?

As we speak, troops die all around us, troops dying for, and against, imperialism. I wish to speak and negotiate, as my heart goes out to all our soldiers, even those of the enemy, who die very day. My husband, the CO of Joon Brigade of the First Advanced Fighter Division, has lost his left arm in a crash, and day by day, I wonder how many more soldiers have lost their limbs and even their lives in this war we fight, against each other.

But perhaps it may not be so; perhaps there may be peace with understanding. If Bonstock will swear to it, we will call for a council and a ceasefire, and we will listen to what they have to say.

*****

As Acting Premier Park turned from the podium, however, her face hardened and she stiffened. That was the most difficult speech she had to give, and her husband....

He did not lose his left arm; he was missing in action over the skies of Honshu, most likely in Bonstockian territory. But if she had to keep them in the dark, she had to make them think that he was still in their hands.

She had to make them think a lot of things, indeed....

I Understand Bonstockis not a REAL enemy as Bonstock does enforces The Moral Acts of anything toward others. However, Red Tide is looting, killing, and being the Japanese in Asia in 1930's-1940's.

If Bonstock or Red Tide follow these agreements, then we may be able to put our arms down.

-Hudecian Broadcaster-

President Tablus makes a speech on live TV

"The government of Hudecia urges its allies not to slacken the rope that is set around the throats of Red Tide and Bonstock. Shall we invite them to launch yet another surprise attack? Shall we allow them to avoid penalty for their crimes? No! Never!

If we are to negotiate it should be at the end of a bayonet rather than behind a table. Our troops and sailors have suffered defeat and loss. Shall we say that they died in vain? No! We will not betray the sacrifice of our troops is such a manner.

Bonstock can not be trusted! His plan is simply a stalling tactic so he can prepare his next cowardly attack. Attack! And dont stop attacking until we have driven him into the sea!"

OOC: Is bonstock (the nation) near Japann? Mine isn't so I've got a long way to go for support... I also I can't help thinking that 24 Carriers (10 more then America currently has altogether) is a really expensive force to upkeep... but I suppose it's reasonable for a nation of your size to have a fair few of these $4'500'000'000 vessals.

I may have to increase the size of my aproaching Naval Force, which will be arriving in 2-3 weeks times (or when I finally feel that enough time has been RPed in the thread.

OOC: If the ABL is okayed as modern-tech which can shoot down aircraft (even though they are designed to be used against ICBMs), then I'll be using my Airbus ones.

OOC2: H-9 specs are at www.sinodefence.com

OOC3: Argh! Modem carnage!

IC:

Following the Bonstockian use of ABL units, the ROTAF's fleet of 36 A-380-ABLs have taken to the skies to match them. The Airbus 380s have more room onboard, allowing a 30% increase in laser power compared to Boeing's ABL, and a corresponding 10% increase in range. An active-radar-cancellation device is fitted onboard to give the ABL stealth, and an advanced ECM and ECCM modules.

From 300km away, B-380s launch the Phoenix II-B. With a pulse detonation engine supplementing the ramjet, the Phoenix II-B would fly towards the Bonstockian ABLs at Mach 6. A total of 120 are launched from 18 aircraft.

A medal of honors are awarded to a group of citizens who captured a few Bonstockian paratroopers a day ago. Nationalism in Taiwan is rising and has bought the whole nation together. Many citizens have welcomed victims of the Bonstockian missile bombardment into their homes, with hundreds of millions in donations set aside for those who were not insured.

Defences in South Taiwan (Tainan and Kaoshiung) are manned following reports of clashes in the Spratly Isles.

A squadron of 30 WIG aircraft conduct another hit-and-run missile strike on the Bonstockian fleet in the straits supporting the Taipei beachhead, launching 180 supersonic sea-skimmers. Eurofighters drop tons of anti-infantry ordinance onto the retreating forces.

OOC: Looks like you found NJstar? Anyway, Sino is definitely not Shenzhou (heaven).

OOC: Bonstock proper is in Sweden. Maropian Coast is (I think) on the Eastern coast of Taiwan.

OOC: Damn lack of Chinese on my PC languages... all I'm getting is squares... for a second I though it was a measure of military power (Iuthia being 1.9 billion in population now :D ...)

*ahem* not that I am compensating for something. I just like the sound of only about 3 weeks till Iuthia is one year old.

I still need it. i have the trial version, for a month.

OOC: Guys, I don't want to drag you off subject, so I appologize for the OOC interuption from a non-invited person on a seperate subject. However, I feel there is need for a correction here.

Bonstock is not located in Sweden.

I'm sorry Bonstock, but you are not.

Wazzu has been located in Sweden from its founding in December '02. I've not only extensively RPed this, but I have always made sure that no other active player had a valid claim to it. Wazzu exists in Sweden. It is not only Wazzu history, it is NS history.

I don't take any other real-world territory (except a few small bits off Earth), just Sweden.

Now, I don't care if you base your military, your people, or anything else off of Sweden, but the location itself is mine. You can have Norway, Denmark, or some other area (though Finnland belonged to some still active players, and you'll have to ask Kekkosmaa about that); Sweden is mine.

If you would like to say otherwise, feel free trying to invade. And good luck, you'll need it.


EDIT: Again, sorry for the interuption all, I just that I'd clear that up. Enjoy the RP!

Red Tides reply was simple and straight foreward.

"NUTS!"

Honshu, Bonstockian territory

General Park Sang-hee slipped through the forests, panting heavily. At his back, Bonstockian soldiers were chasing him, and firing at him. THey had seen his distinctive J37, painted with a dark green tiger on the upper wing surface, go down in a fiery crash.

They were gaining, and as he kept running, Park felt his fingers wrap around his Italian made Beretta pistol and slide it out of his pocket. He pressed the gun to his head, and was about to pull the trigger, but as his finger tightened down on it, an image of Hyemin flashed through his mind.

No, he couldnt leave Hyemin by herself. Not with Premier Chai out of action, General Sung fighting in Japan, Minister Qiao in Xiaguo, and General Sao missing, nearly all Hyemin's friends and companions were away or incapacitated. And with her husband dead? It would be too much for the girl to bear, and they had only married several months ago, before she was picked by Chai to be her successor.

Park sighed, and slipped the pistol back into his pocket. He had to make contact with the resistance, and he knew that they probably were around here somewhere.

As he ran, he peeled off the insignia on his jacket that showed that he belonged to Joon Brigade; he didnt have officer's insignia on him right there, but he peeled off his unit patches and threw them into the woods. He tightened down the flakvest that he wore, and checked his survival pouch to make sure nothing had fallen off.

His wingman had not been hit by the Gripen that had ambushed them; with luck, he would return to their base near Tienjin and give the news to the Premier, via encrypted comm, and she would know by morning.

Park slipped around a tree and managed to spot a village. He clambered down, and made himself as small as possible, scanning for enemy troops and pulling his dark green survival hood over his exposed head. The Bonstockians would torture the hell out of him if they knew who he was, and he had no intention of being captured.

Hang in there, Hyemin, he thought. I'll come home.

Meanwhile, swift craft in the Paracels being strikes on Bonstockian troops, gunning their engines and keeping fast to stay alive and out of range. The Marines garrisoned on the various small islands, enlarged with composite harbors and platforms, do their best to stay inside and out of enemy fire. Cruise missile batteries keep up a steady stream of scramjet missiles, and are resupplied by high speed runs made by H9s who drop cargo pallets onto Islandian positions instead of HE explosives.

-Hudecian Broadcaster-

-Live from Hudecian Parliament- Tablus addresses the nation-

"Representatives of our nation, Speaker of the House, I come before you in the gravest of times. Over the past few hours our government has came under intense pressure from our allies both at home and abroad over our hardline stance on Bonstock."

"Yesterday, I met with representatives of the families of our brave soldiers. The emphasized the human cost of this war to me. And our allies, weary of war, have reinforced that it was their culture that was maligned not ours."

"So, my government has decided that if the Asian Alliance decides to negotiate with Bonstock, we will abide by their decision. But make no mistake, we do not trust Bonstock and will pressure for a 'fair' agreement in negotiations. Thank you."

As President Tablus leaves the Parliament buildings he is swarmed by reporters looking for a comment on his position on the Bonstockian Peace Negotiations. Peace protesters celebrate on Parliament Hill will rival war supporters glare at the President.

The president's security personnel are separated for a second from the president as the crowd of reporters swarm him. Then, a single shot is heard from inside the mob of reporters. Some of the reporters scream and run for cover. Others hit the ground and cover their heads.

The assassin targets the bloodied president lying on the ground and fires another shot into his torso. Hudecian Secret Service agents quickly nleash a volley of shots into the assassin's body and surround the president.

"Ambulance! Someone call an ambulance!" Screams one of the agents, gun drawn.

The gurgling sound of blood filling the president's lungs is clearly heard by the secret service agents.

OOC: carrying a concealed weapon is encouraged by the Hudecian government so this is very possible.

ooc: I'm not sure if my last post got posted. But I'm not in Sweden. I'm somewhere in the central Pacific, probably French Polynesia, or somehwere north of there.

ic:

Bonstocknian JAS 39s still slugging it out over Taiwan turn to intercept the Taiwanese ABLs as they take off. They fire every missile they have against the 36 planes. Meanhwhile, the Bonstocknian planes continue firing.

In Bonstock proper, Alfred Perrson, a Sergeant in the 37th Infantry Division, patrolled around in his CV 90, somewhere in the mountains of Bonstock. Some local townspeople in the town of Colleville had reported seeing East Islandian Special Operations units patrolling around a major Bonstocknian airbase. Perrson's unit, the 2nd Brigade of the 37th Infantry, was looking to see if the townspeople were correct.

Forces of the Bonstocknian VIII Corps had sealed off a large area where the reports had happened. All 30 divisions still in Bonstock were performing counter SOF missions, employing all types of detectors to see where these men were.

Perrson feared not these SOFs. They were highly out gunned and out manned. He didn't even think there were any. He was just glad that his division was not fighting for its existance in Japann.

ooc: How could you get SOFs into Maropian Coast? No offense, but the border is completely sealed by a large Maginot line type defense, and the sea is still bordered by defenses that make the Atlantic wall look like a pussy cat. In the air, anything flying would be shot by SAMs and patrolling fighters. And even then, IF they could get on the ground, they would be almost instantly found, and shot.

In Bonstock, defenses are not as good, because there is no real threat. In the air, fighters patrol for H-9s, which shouldn't be able to get through anymore. But the distance factor is large. You would need pretty quiet methods of getting in. Coastal Rangers patrol the coast for SOFs, and militia units will shoot anyone who doesn't wear a Bonstocknian uniform.

Oh, by the way, thanks for the random hot Japanese chicks...

Vice President Honatava was eating breakfast when the army broke down the door to her apartment and whisked her away. Clothed in Kevlar body armor and carrying MP 5-K assault rifles they threw a bullet proof vest over her as they ran down the hallway.

"Protect the vice-president!" One of them yelled as they trailed their weapons on anyone who even looked at them. A M-113A1 APC was waiting outside with M1A2s standing guard.

Foreign Minister Matsuda had been inside the Parliament at the time of the assassination. The government, members of parliament quickly surrounded him until Secret Service agents arrived to take him away in the Presidential limo to an undisclosed location. Within minutes he had declared a general state of emergency in Hudecia and called out the army.

H9s immediately begin airstrikes on the Sakishimas, and satellite reconnaissance and high speed recon planes begin overflights of the islands. Scramjet missiles impact military installations, and 2 fifteen thousand pounders are dropped offshore, to neutralize mines. Meanwhile, Sea Dragons are infiltrated in to destroy various bunkers and C4I centers with man portable packs of watergel explosives (the same stuff in fifteen thousand pounders) and information warfare devices. They attempt to trigger blackouts by attacking power centers and power lines with explosives and rockets, and destroy train tracks and roads.

*******
Behind Bonstockian lines
The Pathet Cong troops darted out of the darkness, tossing grenades into bunkers and fixing watergel explosives to munition depots and motor pools. They fire in short bursts, suppressors muffling and blacking out their muzzle flashes, and retreat into the safety of the woods within five minutes, taking their dead and wounded with them as they disappear back into the woods. Explosions ring out, and all across the front lines, the pattern is repeated as Pathet Cong Rangers and Chu Company carry out raids behind enemy lines, led by the intrepid General Sao (classmate of Premier Hyemin in the Special Tactics, Covert Warfare School in Quang-ti Dao).

Sea Dragons and operatives from Echo Detachment step up their raids in Red Tide held territory, fixing limpet mines with watergel explosives to ships in Tokyo and Yokohoma harbors, and beginning an open campaign of assassination against Red Tide officers wherever they are. Red Tide's munitions depots, motor pools, offices, and SAM emplacements are all fair game, with partisans and special forces firing (or throwing) fiery, explosive things into such positions.

Zhou and Huan class SSBNs begin firing scramjet missiles and one or two fifteen thousand pounders at Red Tide's positions in Japan. the Fifteen thousand pounders are targeted towards his ships and mooring places offshore, not in the harbor.

Meanwhile, encased sodium explosives are used to root out Bonstockian subs, as twenty-fifty kg blocks of sodium, encased inside suspension fluid or suspension gel, are dropped to various depths. After the projectiles reach the preprogrammed depth, the cases open and the sodium reacts with the water, forming a huge explosion and sending shockwaves out for about a few km after the blast radius (which is about three km or so for twenty kg).

60 J37s in two scattered formations screamed across the ocean, rising and firing their LRAEM/As at the Bonstockian fighters patrolling the airspace of Bonstock proper. From the east, J10NX5s off a Maiden class carrier and its escorts, approximately two hundred km from Bonstockian shores (or outside of wherever the international/coastal waters limit is) approach Bonstockian airspace from a low vector, firing off HARMs to blind the radars and moving to engage Gripens.

OOC
No place is invulnerable; I've learned that through experience. Arent your fighters mixed up in daily clashes with Taiwanese planes? That would give me a gap to drop forces in, and i mentioned, a few posts back, that a few of my hackers disabled communications completely, on both sides, by triggering a huge EMP burst. the EMP allowed my planes to fly in, drop, and get the hell out, leaving several Special Manuever Units inside (about twenty men in total). Getting out for them may be hard, but I'm sure they've managed to pick up uniforms and weapons on the way by knocking out a few soldiers unconscious, tying them up and lgiving them doses of tranquilizer, and taking their equipment.

PS if you can capture General Park and hold him ransom, Premier Park (who is his wife) may very well cave in; she is faced at home by hostile politicians and unpopular public sentiment (because she is a woman) and after Premier Chai's incapacitation, much of the burden falls upon her. The loss of her husband may snap her...

Oh and next week's midterm week for me; i'll be on a lot less since i need to study, so i wont be posting as much next week.

Massive Protests all over Xiaguo protesting No For Peace. While Massive protests on the other hand No War. Xiannese National Defense Millitary has been called on to push back the protesters, mainly for war since the Peace Protests are usually more peaceful.
We decide that we will have to shut down the peace efforts for now.

Happy New year to viewers and Xiaguo!
Today some exciting new about the invasion of Japann. Xiaguo has just broken the second defensive line with help of Sino-Air Support and the second invasion division sent from Sendai. They are to meet up and set up a fortified line and establish a base and airfield.
http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=chinese+army/v=2/l=IVI/*-http://www.kprf.ru/clipart/misc/chinese_army.jpg

Massive Protests all-out Xiaguo and Japann. Protest os war protests of peace. This is a civil disorder, a schism that might not turn out to be another war within, but anger and betrayal of the Xiannese people. The Government then decided to shut off all peace operations and then decide whether or not should Xiaguo help with the peace efforts with Bonstock, and East Islandia.
http://www.chinasite.com/Content/InterestingNews/bombingchinaembassy/StudentProtest990510_12.jpg

Today is the fourth day of the New Year. I hope everyone will enjoy a Happy, Peaceful, and healthy progressive Year of the Monkey.

Xiaguo is still enraged by the massacre of protesters. More units are moved into the invasion assets.
Due to the invasion, casualties were rising to about 20,000 as more troops are deployed and about 2 ships were heavily damaged due to a base shore to sea artillery strike.

Xiaguo ships of about 60 or less, that is, most of the Navy has blockaded North Western Japann. About 20has been sent to Mid-Eastern Japann to help Hudecia.

To rectify the Maropian Coast fortification problem, five fifteen thousand pounders have been dropped from H9s onto the fortifications. Scramjet missiles slam into the place, and they even drop a trail of timed 400 kg watergel packets onto select locations.

0900 hours
Special Forces Zero team inside Bonstock proper
Major An watched the activity at the airbase with a detached manner, looking for obscurities. He noticed that there were more Bonstockian troops on the move, and possibly an entire corps. He smiled grimly. What a compliment for the Bonstockians to think so highly of him and his Zero team.

He tapped another of his men and signed for him to stay there, and made his way down the slope. An pushed awake his air control specialist and told him to make his way up the slope and direct the traffic in. Any one of them could have done that, but his specialist could direct the planes with nearly pinpoint precision, so he pulled his gear and went up to the observation point.

An tapped some other men and signaled for them to change the perimeter guard. They nodded, and soon, fatigued, camoflaged men filed in and dropped on their sleeping bags to get a few hours of rest. An spent the entire time there without very much sleep, as he simply popped in amphetamines and cafeine to keep himself awake.

He kept his ATS missile launcher ready, in case any APCs or IFVs decided to descend on them all of a sudden, and passed out rifle launched grenades.

OOC what is the status of the airbase and your patrols? What kind of routine do they follow? And what is the clime of Bonstock proper and what sort of terrain?

-Hudecia-

The army wasted no time in swearing in Vice President Honatava as President. Foreign Minister Matsuda took on the dual role as foreign minister and vice president.

-Northern Honshu-

Acting on the orders directly from the President, Commander Kimura prepared his fleet to move south, hopefully with Spyr and Xiaguo support to blockade Tokyo with his 1 carrier, 1 battleship, 14 destroyers. The other 5 destroyers would remain behind to guard the rest of the transport fleet. However, 10 New AOR ships would leave to return to Hudecia.

A second fleet arrived near Sendai from Hudecia carrying the 3rd Amoured Division and the 9th Infantry Division. Bringing the total number of Hudecian divisions in Japan to 12. All are concentrated in N. Honshu.

The newly arrived fleet contained 7 Ulsaan-class Frigates, 3 New AOR class transports, 2 Watson-class troop transports, 1 Wasp class AAS, and 3 Halifax class destroyers.

OOC: who occupies the Ryukyu Is., specifically the Senkaku Is. near Taiwan? And where is the Maropian Coast??

South Dalanian News Agency
Reuters-Seoul

In the first initial reconvening of the National Legislature since the assassination of Prime Minister Edward Choi two weeks ago, Acting Prime Minister, Han-Soo-Kim declared a state of support for the efforts of the Asian Alliance. Ever since reports of sagging morale have come in from the front lines in Japann, seveal key leaders in the South Dalanian military and legislature have expressed outpourings of support for deployal of military forces to the Japann theater of operations.

A resolution to deploy military forces in support was passed by the legislature in a 60-40 vote after being put into motion by Overseer General Lee Kang-woo who will also be commanding the military force that will deployed to Japann.

-Seoul-

He stood in front of the mirror surveying the image that stared back at him. A tall man, clad in the olive green and gold dress uniform of a South Dalanian army general. He picked up something from a table, a photograph taken by an intrepid photographer; a photo showing him sitting at a table with a beautiful young woman who wore the uniform of a general in the East Islandian armed forces.

What the media didn't know was that he had volunteered to command the South Dalanian forces only because he had heard news that that young woman was fighting for the East Islandians in Japann. He felt something...maybe it was an attraction, maybe it was a sense of duty...

In either case, the military forces would be assembled in 48 hours and ready to deploy east, just over the Sea of Japan.

<OOC> See my earlier posts for types/units being deployed. Additional units will follow.

Off the Hokkaido coastline
The Spyran battlegroup altered course, cruising into the tsugaru-kaikyo and entering the harbour at Aomori, in Sino/Xiaguo held northern Honshu. There, the offloading of troops was quickly begun from their transport vessels.

Sado Island
Further runs by WGEs and tilt-rotor aircraft began to expand the Spyran forces deployed on Sado, while transport ships took advantage of the Xiaguo naval blockade to make their own runs across the Sea of Japan. An additional fifteen Lancer heavy destroyers moved out to provide escort, and assistance to the Xiaguo blockade.

Off thecoastline at Sendai
The three Oca submarines moved out with the Hudecian ships, to assist in the blockade of Tokyo.

Off the coast of Kyushu
The Spyran battlegroup approached the shoreline, before veering and moving southward, entering the port at Kagoshima.

General Sung stood outside her command, a cup of tea in her hand, grease and sweat smeared over her uniform. She sighed and took her off her bulky helmet, tossing it into the craft and pulling out her own tactical helmet, a lighter, better insulated one.

Sung wondered what Kang Woo was up to now; she heard rumors that the Dalanians were going to help out in this damned war too, and she hoped they wouldnt take as much of a beating as they had. She also wondered about Premier Park; the girl was having it hard nowadays, wiht nearly everyone around her gone or missing. Sung hoped her husband would come back to her alright.

She sighed again and downed the rest of the tea, climbing back into her vehicle and signaling for the driver to move.

THis is going to be my last post for a while, cause i have to study. Bye guys.

-Hudecia- Secret Command Post-

"What is the status of our troops in N. Honshu?" Honatava demanded.

"We currently have 10 divisions on land and 2 on transports ready to be offloaded," was the repy over the satellite link.

"Commander Kimura, what is your plan?" Honatava asked.

"I want permission to keep my transports under heavy guard and move the 1st, 2nd and 5th Armoured Divisions and the 6th, 7th and 8th Mechanized Infantry Divisions down to support Xiaguo in their attack. As for the 3rd Infantry and 1st Expeditionary Divisions, they took heavy casualties in the last engagement and need some time to recouperate."

"Unfortunately we may be able to give them too long. But your plan is approved. What about Operation Anaconda? Do you have what you need yet?"

"We are almost prepared. But first I think we should transfer the 1st Air Corps to N. Honshu."

"That is over 200 of our best fighters. MiG 29s and our Avro Arrows. Are you sure they will be needed? Do you intend to leave Hudecia without any air cover?"

"That is affirmative, we need all the help we can get. Even if we have to strip our home defences to get it. Besides, we still have the 2nd Air Corps in Hudecia, and our home country is well out of range of their attacks."

OOC: Maropian Coast is probably in the East, since Taipei and my major population centres are all in the west.

Four ABLs sustain varying degrees of damage from the missile, with three of them rendered unsalvagable. The brave missile-less (and now defenceless) aircraft responsible for shooting them down are wiped out. So far, some 24 Eurofighters have been downed by ABLs, with no casualties reported from stealth aircraft. All fighters have begun exploiting cloud cover to avoid the ABL.

OOC: Results from my Phoenix missile attack on the ABLs? (My modified Phoenixes have a range of 380km)

A fleet of WIG aircraft continues its hit and run attacks, this time launching some 80 missiles at the Gracelandia (sp? - the arsenal ship which survived the attack.

ooc: FRBS Grossbonstocknia. Already escaped to Maropian Coast.

A shock is given to the attackers of Bonstock proper. A small flight of a new plane launches from a location somewhere in the center of Bonstock. They rise at high speeds to intercept the incoming fighters, at speeds faster then a missile. They get within range, and fire even faster missiles at the fighters and bombers.

ABLs manage to destroy many of the cruise missiles as they come to threaten Bonstock's shores. From the labs of Nozomi Station Airbase, deep in the mountains of Bonstock, a new type of laser is created: one thousands of times more reliable and capable then the old one. Incoming planes and missiles will soon know the true meaning of fear.

Maropian Defense forces, tipped off by the locals, move to destroy any SOFs. Deploying into every town, and boosted by partisan strengh, they employ every means necissary to defend their corner of Bonstock, their home.

In the Sakishimas, mines are non existant: fish were killed. But strong defenses of the VI MEF were mostly unscathed. Damage was quickly repaired, and only 3 Bonstocknians were hurt. IT will take much more then bombs to get these men out.

Meanwhile, in the shores of East Islandia, a small, stealth minisub makes a dash for a small, probably unihabitted island. It carries on board a team of five BSS agents, highly trained in sabatoge. But they had a special mission: kidnap Premier Chai, and hold her hostage.

They were Asian, to blend in with the Islandians. They carried updated passports, identifying themselves as tourists from PRC China. They were trained to handle interrogation well, without giving away a word.

Meanwhile, Bonstocknian JAS 39s continue to harras the ABLs as they try to get airborne. A C-17 cargo plane from Bonstock arrives, with the upgraded lasers. The ABLs land, to be refitted for another go. This time a far more deadly go.

ooc: The base you've discovered is Nozomi Station Airbase, home to Bonstock's most classified aircraft. And heavily defended. In peacetime, we keep two divisions on call right near it. During wartime, that can increase to a whole Corps. The secrets there are too great for us to even shed slight light on.

The base itself is a sprawling complex, with one main runway and many large reaserch hangers, where odd looking aircraft may be tested. ALso here are the bunkers containing the T-1 bomb, Bonstock's devestating superweapon capable of destroying whole nations in one hit. We would never use it, unless we were ultra desperate. But should we decide to...

The base is in the middle of the mountains of central Bonstock, connected to the world by a small dirt highway regularly patrolled by any military vehicle avaliable. There is a small river about a mile south of it, and to the southwest there is a small bridge, that goes into a town called Colleville to the south of the bridge. Very small town, dominated by a large grain silo. The road goes north past the bridge, and then turns east, going past two more towns, both really small towns, about two miles apart from eachother. Then there is a junction in the road at the second town. A road north leads to the base is marked "Restricted Access" and patrolled by people who shoot anyone who goes near. Even military officers are questioned thoughroughly before entering. Really tight security. The road leads on to the coast.

All around the base, pill boxes are manned, and new rocketplanes and F-22 Raptors (which were decided to be first deployed here rather then in the Pacific) patrol the skies for any hostile movements. Patrols of CV-90s, HMMWVs, tanks, helicopters, and motorcycles are on all the roads and all around the base.

Bonstock is located on a north pointing peninnsula of the island of Isa, in Wysteria. To our south are Zecro and the Steppe, and to our east is another nation (who I forgot the name of) who is also a peninnisula. At the northern tip of the island is the capital, Port Yuko. To the south is a large forested mountain range, similar to the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. In the middle of that mountain range is the base.

If you can destroy this base, you pretty much win the war. Considering that I'm faltering on most fronts, including my own territories, my last resort may be sending your nation to hell with a well aimed T-1, or a bunch of orbital bombers that would be virtually unkillable. But if you could knock out this last resort of mine, we may be forced to the negotiating table.

SO, here's your SOF's mission. Infultrate the base, sabatoge the stored T-1s, blow up some vital reserch documents, and destroy the orbital bomber prototypes... and you've got it made. If you come out alive. Or come in alive for that matter. If I can sucessfully destroy your SOFs and defend my base... then the war, and Hu'kasa, will not come out pretty looking.

The fate of the war may hinge on the actions of a few dozen men. Good luck. You'll need it.

ic:

A man burst into I Corps headquarters. He was an intelligence officer, who had just intercepted a radio transmission. He raced to the office of Major General Chen.

He swung open the doors, bursting in. "Sir, I just picked something up."

"What is it, Lang? You look so tired." He was still staring out his window, he had not even looked at his subordinate.

Though Lang wondered how his superior could see him, he was too caught up in the urgancy of the moment. "Sir, our forces have shot down a prominent General of the East Islandian Air Force. Park Sang Hee his his name, and he..."

"Why do we care about a downed General. Shoot him. Get a sniper and shoot him."

"Sir, he is the husband of Park Hyemin, Premier of East Islandia."

The General did not respond; He looked out the window, deep in thought.

"Sir..."

"I hate to take a division from Tokyo with Red Tide behaving so poorly. But WE must capture this man, for Red Tide would just shoot him."

"Sir?"

He paused, and turned to face his officer. "Get me General Hoffmann of the 3rd Division. Where was he shot down?"

"Too the west of Tokyo, near a town called Sagimihara."

"Deploy rapid reaction forces from 4th Division based in Narita, to seal off a mountain escape. Have 3rd Division roll north from Yokohama to seal off an escape. Then send in our special operations forces to find him."

"Yes, sir." He turned an left.

Helicopters from Narita took off, and headed in the direction of the location of the downed pilot. He was not to escape.

-Cheju-do Island, South Dalania-

The lights of the tourist resorts around the base of Mount Halla-san had gone dark early; the result of a military ordered blackout. The towns themselves were filled with garrisons of the local military who patrolled the town on foot and in APC's. Honeymooning couples and families looked out the windows of their hotel rooms and guest cottages, watching as soldiers dressed in woodland BDU's patrolled the streets, their SG-551 rifles slung over their shoulders.

To the north, the whining engines of jet aircraft filled the night as two of the local fighter wings prepared for deployment to Japann. The two air wings, comprised primarily of longer-range fighters and fighter bombers would be deployed to air bases located in Asian Alliance held territory. Ground technicians would follow via water-borne transport across the Korea Strait or by C-130 aircraft. Armaments would also be flown in from Cheju-do.

The South Dalanian navy, although meager compared to its counterparts was also in readiness. From bases located at Busan, Masan and Ulleungdo Island, elements of the South Dalanian navy (including the country's two aircraft carriers with supporting ships) were moving into the Korea Strait to serve as a line of defense.

Land based defenses were readied for combat. At such important ports as Inchon, home of the Northern Defense Navy, missile batteries which were originally aimed north towards Dra-pol were rotated south, should any long-range bomber manage to penetrate the defense lines in the south of the country. Interceptor bases, equipped with high speed attack fighters were also prepped and army units equipped with portable SAM's and anti-air missile batteries were moved into position.

Civillian life was routinely unaffected, however blackouts were ordered in cities close to the sea border with Japann and in the south of the country (Mokpo, Ulsan, Taegu, Masan, Busan, Kyongju). Northern cities such as Seoul and Inchon were relatively unaffected although military units moved into their defensive perimeters around the cities in question.

But by no means was the border with Dra-pol left undefended. Although a considerable portion of the armed forces was being committed, the DMZ forces were left in place, with only two brigades being transferred to the deployment forces.

The stage was set....

ooc: FRBS Grossbonstocknia. Already escaped to Maropian Coast.

A shock is given to the attackers of Bonstock proper. A small flight of a new plane launches from a location somewhere in the center of Bonstock. They rise at high speeds to intercept the incoming fighters, at speeds faster then a missile. They get within range, and fire even faster missiles at the fighters and bombers.

OOC: Not possible with post-modern (within a decade. Your're talking hypersonic fighters here.)

ALso here are the bunkers containing the T-1 bomb, Bonstock's devestating superweapon capable of destroying whole nations in one hit. We would never use it, unless we were ultra desperate. But should we decide to...


OOC: Seems dodgy, got the yield?

OOC2: Regarding new technology being developed, I don't think that's really applicable in the five days of the war so far. Do you have a thread for your ABL development?

Kagoshima, southern Kyushu

The Spyran military units had assembled in the city of Kagoshima, as trucks and transport vehicles were offloaded to transport them to the front. Fighters from the PRSS Phelot (the aircraft carrier) took to the skies on patrols, supplementing East Islandian air units over Kyushu, while naval vessels began patrols along the southern coastline in search of Bonstockian shipping and submarines.

The Spyran senior commander, Leftenant-General Daniel Mashiro, had come ashore with his mobile command, and was now reviewing reports on supply and battlefield conditions, while he waited to confer with East Islandian command. He was nervous about this deployment... East Islandia seemed to be containing Bonstock, but that left the initiative in the hands of the enemy, and he did not want to get stuck in a static defence which the foe could attempt to crack at his leisure. Still, if the rumours of South Dalanian involvement were accurate, they would have a secure base from which supplies could be funneled in, and the additional troops might allow them to put pressure on the imperialist forces... though the presence of South Dalanians in Japann had the potential for its own PR difficulties unless they were instructed on exactly what to do/not do when speaking with the local populace.

Aomori harbour, northern Honshu

The Spyran transport ships, under corvette escort, set forth on the return journey to Spyr, while the remaining naval vessels moved westward, towards the muster at Sado.

The newly landed Spyran troops in Aomori were loaded up, and began the journey southward towards the battleline at Sendai. Their commanding officer, Leftenant-General Namiko Kyokito, riding in an armoured command vehicle near the rear of the staggered column, adjusted her uniform, straightening the gold braid which marked her rank as a commissioned officer. Her chest was relatively bare of decorations, for she was a post-Revolutionary soldier, and combat in the Tordian civil war had been relatively light. Still, she was much more confident than her counterpart in the south, as she contemplated possible strategies.

'Red Tide's actions in Tokyo are unclear... rumours and satellite photographs... but the consistency of both show that they have revealed themselves to be brutal imperialists, not the 'friends' of Japann they claimed to be. Bonstock too lacks support, though his stance against Red Tide has helped him in that regard. Still, at the moment, the citizens of Tokyo are ready to experience a sense of liberation if theimperialist forces are removed. With forces from Agrigento, Hudecia, Xiaguo, and now Spyr, beginning a push downward from Sendai, we may be able to reach Tokyo overland, while naval forces blockade the harbours of Tokyo-Yokohama to prevent reinforcements from arriving....'

Sado Island
Several divisions have assembled on the island, with support aircraft and amphibious landing vessels filling the harbours. To anyone observing by satellite, the purpose of the muster cannot be concealed... prepartions are underway for an assault on the western side of Honshu.

Presidential Tower, Spyr
The President reviewed reports from the field... no casualties as of yet, but with troops finally on the ground, it woud only be a matter of time before deaths began to occur. Still, things were progressing well for the ations arrayed against the imperialists. Even with Red Tide, and that alliance seemed more tenuous every day, Bonstock had obviously made a grave error... it had assumed that the dragon of Asia still slept, as it had when the colnialist powers of Europe had first come to its shores. But, the Dragon was awake, and had been for many years... it semed Bonstock now stood faced wth the whole of Asia, its united military might being impressive in of itself, but the vastness of its industrial power ensuring that it could fight longer, with more, than the imperialists arrayed against it. Eventually, Bonstock would be overrun in Japann. Perhaps in the Maropian Coast. And, if Asia refused to return to its rest once that was done, Bonstok itself might face the eager armies who had defeated its conquering forces.

He was certain that the political figures in Bonstock were becoming aware of exactly how untenable their position was becoming. Even their apparent imperialist justification, the search for land to alleviate the pressures of a large population, was already ludicrous: Asia, certainly East Asia, was already filled with people, and was thus not as profitable a target for expansion as, say, Africa, or Australia.

The question, then, was wether Bonsock would surrender, withdraw...or continue to fight until the bitter end. If the latter was true, the cost in lives would be horrendous, on both sides... and the conflict could expand into a war of WMDs, which would devastate both civilian and military assets of many nations.

He hoped that it would not come to that...

-HN Hclav-

The jet fighter landed perfectly on the flight deck. It was unlike any that Hudecia had ever used before.

"I thought they destroyed all plans for those things in the 50s," wing commander Koichi said.

"Nope, the government simply hid the plans. But one of our allied nations managed to uncover them and began production of the Avro Arrow again." Commander Kimura replied.

"Is it even safe to fly in the plane? I mean, I hear its cruising speed is mach 3.5."

"Well, if it wasn't safe, we wouldn't be letting you fly it." Kimura replied looking straight at Koichi.

OOC: Avro Arrow : Canadian government developed it in the 50s. At the time it was half a century before its time. On the test flights it flew at over mach 3.5, broke every record of its time. Then the government scrapped the project and buried all the research. Until recently, that is.

[OOC: Yay, Arrow! *Canadian nationalist sentiment increases*]

Sendai Battleline

The two Spyran divisions arrived in the Sendai area just before dawn, infantry deploying out to join allied troops along their defensive lines. The tanks remained in reserve, ready to exploit any weakness that might appear along the line held by Bonstock.

- HN Praha - A Wasp class Assault Carrier-

The Sea Stallion carrying the last batch of supplies set down at the back of the carrier. Captain Smetka would disembark and be taking control of the Japan Landing Fleet. Operation Anaconda would begin soon.

"Lets get underway." Smetka ordered once he had stepped off the helicopter. "We have no time to lose."

Within an hour, one Mistral class carrier and an AOR transport would move off with 1 destroyer and 2 frigates as escort. Heading south, towards Taiwan. Aboard was the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the 3rd Infantry Division.

The other 4 assault carriers and their escort would follow soon after carrying the 9th Mechanized Infantry, the 3rd Amoured, and the 1st Expeditionary Divisions.

- Near Sendai - Hudecian base camp -

The nearly 50 Blackhawk helicopters were fully fueled and the troops were preped. Satelite photos had spotted several Bonstockian Divisions heading west, away from Tokyo. From their movement patterns they seemed to be looking for something. And if it was important enough for them to drain away their Tokyo defences then it was important enough for Hudecia to take a look.

Meanwhile the 6 fresh divisions moved forward with Xiannese troops. Heavy artillery pounded the Bonstockian front lines and M1A2s and cover troops would move forward to exploit any breach. (OOC: I'll post casualties, just I dont know what defences Bonstock has up North.)

-Secret Command Bunker-

Honatava paced back and forth in the confines of the room. Should more troops be deployed? Or should they all be recalled? What were the status of the secret ops in Japan? And why didn't Kimura call!?

"Ma'am, we just got reports back from Tokyo through our contacts in the resistance."

"Well?" she asked impatiently.

"Three of our agents and two high ranking members of the partisans were killed in the protest by Red Tide just recently. Their bodies were burned beyond recognition by the bombs so no one can link us to that protest. But the partisans are furious at us, the are demanding more guns and explosives."

"We gave them over 500 Uzis and they havent even used them yet! .... sigh,... well I guess we could try sneaking in some C4 when we land troops south of Tokyo...."

-HN Hclav-

The fleet positioned itself just outside Tokyo harbour. With Xiannese warships, Spyr submarines and Hudecian warships they made an impressive sight. The subs would be the front line. Torpedoing any unarmed freighters that left Tokyo or tried to enter it.

Behind the subs a few kilometers the fleet would wait with full air cover for the Bonstock to try to lift the blockade.

OOC: Spyr are you Canadian too? What do you think of the Arrow? :lol: pretty cool eh?

sorry about that.

sorry triple post.

Diaoyu Islands

It is a clear evening on the islands. All is quiet, with only the sounds of birds and the waves in the air.

Suddenly, a loud humming is heard as four S-900 WIGcraft land by the island. They are given air cover by a squad of F-36s if things get ugly. Almost immediately, anti-ship missiles and SAMs are set up by the 16,000 man army.

(Usual stuff: Around 24 Patriots, 180 Nanfung seaskimmers)

ooc: Damn forums!

ic:

A plane landed at Port Yuko International Airport. A man in a naval uniform walked out, and was driven by car to a bunker deep below the capital.

He walked into the situation room, with its giant map of the world, with dispositions of Bonstocknian forces worldwide. Lung and Adolphus were waiting, along with dozens of officers.

"Admiral von Steuben, we thank you for your presence. You have been absent for a while."

"That is very true. We have an extraordinary situation."

"Well, what happened with Operation Viking, which we gave you command of?"

"Failed, miserably. Paratroopers are still fighting there way to collapsing Marine beachheads. Heavy casualties are being taken."

"We need to get this war over before it becomes a hassle to us. A prolonged war with the Asian Resistance is suicide."

"I expected our recent offensives to bring them to the negotiating table, but that seems to not be working."

"Well, we have one option," interrupted an impatient Lung. "We must unleash our new bombers, and launch a surprise raid on Hu'kasa. We will strike all sorts of targets, and cause the city to be paralyzed. That will bring them to the negotiating table!"

"If we can get through," answered back the skeptical looking von Steuben. "We must lure them into a trap at Sendai, as Operation Adrianople said to do. But we must first control the seas. I say we build a new class of light Littoral Ships, which can perhaps turn the tide of the war. If we can flood them with small ships, we might be able to secure victory."

"Well, who's to say our trap must be on land?" said Adolphus.

Von Stueben lit up. His mind raced with thoughts. He took his baton, and pointed to a small group of islands marked "Sakishim. Is."

"It is here that we must lure them. We send as bait all our large Nimitz carriers, and then shock them with our new Littoral Ships in a quick missile volley at close range."

"How fast will these things go?"

"Too fast for radar to see, and too fast to be attacked. And, indeed, once we do this, then Okinawa will be defenseless."

Adolphus looked at the map. Okinawa was defended by five divisions, according to intelligence. Perhaps more, or less.

"Admiral von Steuben, how fast can these Littoral ships be made?"

"We have prototypes, we can put them into production within a month."

Lung interrupted. "How about this coincides with our air raids, to further force them to the negotiating table?"

Adolphus looked somewhat skeptical. "I believe that the air raids are too risky. I want you to set into action our plans to replace JAS 39s with F-22s."

"All right." He looked somewhat disappointed.

"Admiral von Steuben, for this, I will place you in command of all Bonstocknian forces in East Asia. We'll put it under a command called Supreme Headquarters of Bonstocknian Expeditionary Force, Asia Pacific. SHBEFAP."

"Thank you, sir."

"But we must think of the after war. We cannot make Japann a colony as we did Maropian Coast. We must instead put in a leader who will unite Japan, but take orders from us. Do we have anyone?"

Admiral von Steuben said, "I was guided during the first Japann campaign by a defected Japanese admiral. Back when East Islandia and the Asian Resistance were our allies, he defected to them, and was recruited by our navy to help aboard RBS Grossbonstocknia, targetting places in Tokyo, especially command bunkers. Then our civil war borke out. He stayed aboard, helping out, and became a close friend of mine. I believe he has what it takes to unite Japan."

"But is he loyal to Bonstock?"

"That we may not know. But we have ways of keeping him under control."

"What are those ways?"

"We will first of all offer him protection, and large economic aid. Then we start to get involved in their politics. We will make them dependent on our aid and protection, and see if they come to us theirselves."

"All right. Sounds good. Now, we must initiate the operation. Now."

"Yes, Field Marshal."

Lung went out of the room, somewhat disappointed that the Flygsvapnet would not fight the glourious battle. Suddenly, his intelligence officer, Colonel Bernsson, ran in. "Sir, there is a possible secutiry breach at Nozomi Station."

"What?"

"SOFs. East Islandia."

"Get me my plane." It was shaping up to be a long day at the office.

The base itself is a sprawling complex, with one main runway and many large reaserch hangers, where odd looking aircraft may be tested. ALso here are the bunkers containing the T-1 bomb, Bonstock's devestating superweapon capable of destroying whole nations in one hit. We would never use it, unless we were ultra desperate. But should we decide to...

.


How do you destroy an entire nation? If you use the T1, i will get WCS to blow you out of the water, and that boy will ortillery the hell out of you, even if he doesnt play very often, with your Klonor spacefleet or not, especially since ur T-f****king 1 seems like a future tech thing and ur like 'no future tech.'
besides, as the name implies, Islandia is a bunch of islands! How do you knock out something three times the size of Indonesia with four times as many islands??!

And you realize that fifteenthousand pounders are...well, fifteen thousand pounders... they hurt. Like a bitch. Ask Japann about htem, he used them on Xiaguo before.

*********
Honshu
Lt. Chiang and his men crept through the woods, pausing to scope out the terrain with every step. Bonstockians abounded, too many for comfort, and too many to make finding General Park an easy proposition.

He sighed, and wished his old team were here. Doubtless, the intrepid Korean was out there somewhere, and he desperately wanted to find him, especailly since their beloved co-leader, Premier Park, was in such despair, with her friends nearly all missing or gone.

As they approached a village, several partisans with them entered a hut. The men set up a perimeter all around them and sat quietly in the dark night of Honshu, awaiting actions.

The partisans carried out a bloodied figure, a man dressed in a dark green uniform with a gray green hood, part of the Air Force's standard survival gear. One of the men slung him over his shoulder and they all left quickly, covering several km back to their base...

In the meantime, several km outside of another village in partisan territory, a man with a gray green balaclava slung over his shoulder moved through the grass slowly, pistol at ready. he had evaded the Bonstockians for days, and with luck, he would do so. Apparently, many flyers downed over Bonstockian territory were getting out via partisan network, and as he walked into the clearing, two partisans and an operative wearing dirty green gray camoflage, all clad with distinctive, leafy green flakvests much like his own, grinned at him.

The pilot smiled back. He put his palm over his fist, and they returned the gesture, and one of the soldiers saluted. he returned the salute, and they disappeared into the woods, walking towards the rendez-vous point several km away, where the man would make his way out of Honshu and into Islandia.

They just made it in time, as enemy troops arrived soon after. Apparently, they had not much time....

*********

With daily air raids continuing on Bonstockian positions in Japan, the Third Lancers and Eighth Guards Armor began to push forward once more, followed by five divisions of infantry. With several thousand (say 2 thousand from Pathet Cong Brigade) men spread over the vast expanse of Honshu in very small groups of ten to twelve, disruption was what the Islandians had going for them, or their enemy at least...

General Sung, the camoflage paint streaked on her face, met with the Spyran Leftenant General Mashiro in her field bunker thirty km outside the Kobe-Osaka defensive line.

Sung informed him that they already had around two thousand Pathet Cong rangers behind enemy lines, with about a hundred various special forces operating in very small groups in and around Bonstockian and Red Tide territory, setting depots afire and ambushing rampantly.

*******
H9s begin to pummel the Sakishimas in earnest, even hitting the shoreline with fifteen thousand pounders to clear up mines and gun batteries, and several Amphibious Assault Groups have begun to disembark from bases in PRC China....

Twelve Swift Craft Detachments fromt he Second Flag Corps have been detached to Okinawa and the Spratlys. The Politburo announced that the waterways to Maropian Coast through teb Paracels would be shut down, and all commercial ships bound for there without authorization would be shot at first and asked questions later.\

I'll RP more later, after i get some rest...

As new arrives in the National Congress of Hudecian and Spyran naval fleets join the Xiannese fleet in a Northern Blockade. Xiannese troops had finished building airstrips and temporary bases on Japann, North-Western about 20miles into Japann, Bases has been ready to go and allows allies' support. "We will defend it as much as possible until we get the support needed to move on." Generalissimo Yeh had concluded yesterday. Yeh was in controlof the invasion strategies.
to be continued..

Premier Chai lay in her bedroom in the Imperial Palace on Hu-Kasa. Swathed from head to toe in bandages, her beautiful complexion blotted out by white gauze and burn cream smeared over her once silken legs, she sighed sadly andturned her attention back to the monitor. She had not been as badly hurt in the attack on her plane during the Bonstockian meeting with Bonstockian sponsored rebels, but instead, she was incapacitated by the biological attack. Whoever launched that...well Taiwanese investigators believed it was Red Tide, but there was not very much evidence.

Forty pairs of pulse lasers, shipped in from WCS with downgraded control interfaces and detection systems, are mounted onto WY8 gunships and sent against Bonstock with J37 escorts. The pulse lasers are far superior to what most modern tech nations had (WCS is future tech, and considering that Bonstock is using this outrageous shit and turning it into a future tech war with nation killers, I may as well level the odds and f*** him up a lttl. Oh and how do you expect ur shit to be a thousand times better? This is twenty first century, not FUTURE FUCKING TECH!)

******
The pillboxes near the base erupted in mounds of flame, after the watergel enforced explosives slammed into the bunkers. A flight of H9s quickly roared over the coast, as J37s and J10NX5s began to engage the Bonstockian F22s in aerial combat. (OOC just so you know, I have fought against F22s. And I have owned F22s. And i will continue to own F22s). Five J40 interceptors attached tot he planes split and began tangling with the F22s as the H9s launched three fifteen thousand pounders each, all targeted towards Port Yuko and Nozomi Airbase, set for a collision course.

A captured truck sped out of the woods just as the bombs began to fall (these are fifteen thousand pounders; good luck shooting these f****kers down.). Shock waves broke many things, and watergel cascaded upon the perimeter defenses.

An's men watched and waited as their little truck rumbled towards the gate. They watched as the truck slammed headfirst into the defences and detonated, its four hundred kg of watergel exploding in a huge fireworks display. Meanwhile, from the eastern mountain approach, ATS missiles were fired into pillboxes and sh*t began to burn.

Nearly sixty smoke rounds were fired into the vicinity, and the clouds of yellow smoke obscured most NVGs.

The SOFs began to advance up the hill, doding behind trees and firing quickly. They took a position near the gate and quickly counted to ten and pressed another button.

A tthousand lb watergel explosive cache, buried near the east, exploded, and several commercial collapsible planes roared down the runway of the base, landing quickly...

Fifteen thousand pounders are launched at Port Yuko's airbases. In order to suppress Bonstock, massive bombing raids are launched against its forces and its cities, with three full fighter divisions from Islandia proper diverted to carry out fighter sweeps over enemy territory. Japan, however, still feels most of the brunt of the attack; hundreds of bombs fall daily on munitions depots, and Pathet Cong and chu company's soldiers keep up their raids, killing soldiers indiscriminately and destroying equipment on sight...

Cheap, easily assemblable rocket planes are put into full production, and are launched up at incoming bombers, loaded with missiles. A full 30 wings of them (54 planes each) have been created, and they attack bombers and incoming missiles.

SAM sites, with new hypersonic high-altitude SAMs, now ring Port Yuko and Bonstock's coastal areas, ready to shoot down any thing that comes near, including missiles and aircraft.

Zecro SDIs are put into use over Maropian Coast, the Sakishimas, and Bonstock proper, attacking cruise missiles and incoming H-9s.

In the shipyards of Port Yuko, a large fleet of small ships starts to be assembled.

Meanwhile, a container ship from Zecro is loaded full, bound for East Islandia. The BSS has placed a surprise for the EAst Islandians.

In the Sakishimas, forces dig in. The commander of Bonstocknian forces in Maropian Coast and the Sakishimas, Robert Chou, makes an anouncement to his troops and citizens, first in English, then in Swedish, then in Chinese, and then in Japanese.

Citoyens Bonstocknian, from all the Sakishima Islands and Maropian Coast, our territory is about to be invaded by imperialists who seek to undermine our great nation. We must stop at nothing to keep this from happening. All Bonstocknian soldiers and civilians must commit themselves to the war effort. We must keep our places free. Bonstock is a great land of opperatunity. But the nations of East Islandia and Agrigento seek to destroy all that is our homeland. We will not let them! We will not let them destroy our homes! We will not let them rape our daughters! We will not let them kill our sons! I give an ultimatum to all who are here! Do everything you can to produce for the war effort! Build planes and bombs so we can keep air supremacy! Build ships and missiles so that we may decimate their fleets! And build tanks and guns so that we may directly prevent the destruction of all that we hold near and dear! And if you see an East Islandian soldier coming towards you, take your pistol and send him to the hell where he came from! Hail to Bonstock! Hail to Maropian Coast! Hail to the Sakishimas! Hail to the Union! Rise up! March on! March on! Let our blood keep them from advancing, or we will all perish together as a people UNITED!

The radio plays only patriotic songs and inspiring speeches, with some propaganda about the war. Sattelite TV is tuned to BSTV, which provides a more objective view of the events, but is still quite biased to Bonstock. Most reports are government dictated. Posters are placed all around, rousing people to join the war effort. Rice farmers of coastal Maropian Coast come to work in booming factories, producing each day thousands of weapons, including updated MiG 21s for air defense, AK-47s and T-72-135s for fighting, and small missile boats and LSTs. Though all are antiquated, this is a desperate guerrilla campaign, and technology will have to be compromised for production speed. Even children produce for the war effort. Martial arts instructions, Bonstocknian history, and propaganda are taught at schools, telling children never to give up. AK 47s are handed out to militia units, which train regularly in the streets, marching to and fro, and manning coastal defenses. Millions of mines are placed on the beaches in front of pillboxes, where machine guns, artillery, and SAMs are placed. Some light damage is taken from bombers, only to be rebuilt by civilian laborers working to save their homeland.

Huge damage is taken to defenses near Sendai and west of Tokyo. Work starts using slave labor on a new "Tokyo Redoubt." A series of 50 forts stretching from Narita airport to Yokohama, encircling Tokyo. Also built is a line to the south west of Tokyo, to stop the East Islandian advance.

ooc: first H-9 casualties, then my casualties.

And also, the T-1 is really an ABSOLUTE LAST RESTORT WEAPON that we probably COULDN'T USE IF THE SITUATION CAME ABOUT TO USE IT! By the time we were about to collapse, we would probably be invaded, with no airbases, and no means to drop the bombs.

When I announced its existance, the fury of condemnations forced me to put them in deep storage. Even if you fail to destroy them, you probably won't have to worry about them.

Northwestern Honshu

The glow of dawn's light bursting over the horizon had just begun to appear, when the attack began. Cruise missiles, launched from naval vessels and WGEs, sped through the air to strike at Bonstockian/Red Tide positions along the Honshu shore, between Niigata and Takada (160 in total). A flight of high altitude bombers followed up after barely a minute, the twenty craft unleashing a stream of ordnance onto any hardpoints along the shore. Then, as dozens of fighters soared into the skies to engage enemy air assets, a host of landing craft swept forth from the various harbours of Sado island, speeding in to land upon the Honshu shoreline, where they disgorged their cargo of troops and vehicles.
Dragonfly helicopters, equipped with anti-armour missiles, zippedthrough the air in search of enemy tanks and pillboxes, while Raven tiltrotors begn to disgorge troops beyond the shoreline.

The Spyran troops fought hard, pushing upward from their landing sites. They had spent almost a year in training and preparation for defence against another imperialist power, waiting for an attack that had never come, and now they were eager to engage in battle. Today, they would drive back the forces of imperialism, proving the honour of Spyr through the liberation of Japann.

[OOC: not sure what defences are actually along the western seabord... if they arent substantial, most of the cruise missiles wouldve impacted at defensive points further inland. Casualties will be posted as soon as I know defences and their counterattacks].

Kobe-Osaka Line
With the East Islandian Third Lancers (et. al) pressing at Bonstockian lines, Lt.-General Mashiro saw no reason to dig all his men in just yet. He kept his infantry division in reserve near Osaka, behind the advancing Islandians... and sent the Spyran tanks forward to the front.
The tanks had characteristics similar to contemporary Japanese T90s, designed to maneuver on uneven, mountainous terrain, while maintaining a high top speed, and they spread over the front line, providing additional firepower where it was needed, and pressing against weak points so that the Islandian infantry could follow up and exploit the weakness.

Sendai Line
Spyran infantry joined their allies on the front, unleashing a barrage of shells towards the Bonstockian positions as light artillery and mortars manned by the infantry joined in the Hudecian/Xiaguo bombardment, while riflemen snapped off short bursts at any enemy movement. Behind the lines, tanks waited for any sign that the enemy line had begun to buckle, so that they might press the advantage.

[OOC: Hudecia - Yes, the Arrow was a beautiful machine... Ive always felt a tinge of regret whenever I look at it, though... I find it stands as a symbol of what might have been...]

Smerch rocket launchers, over 150 of them, turn to blanket the landing areas of Spyr troops with 240mm rockets. Then 54 JAS 39s make a daring raid into the Spyr fleet.

Lt. Joe Hoffmann of the 15th Fighter Wing put his Gripen into high speed, flying low over the ocean to avoid radar. With his wingmen next to him, he kept flying. Then he saw the little blips on his targetting computer.

That was the Spyr fleet, he thought. He wondered how they got throught the Bonstocknian carriers and destroyers escorting all the convoys.

But there was no time to reflect. He knew what he had to do. If 50% of the fleet could be destroyed, then Bonstock could almost be guarrenteed to roll through these new invaders.

Hoffmann aimed a missile at a small blip, which the computer had identified as a landing ship.

Meanwhile, above, a lone B-1 bomber from Maropian Coast dropped a sizable EMP from the sky, knocking out electronics aboard the Sryr fleet, and probably incapacitating them.

But they were still there. That's where Hoffmann and the 15th Fighter Wing came in.

He aimed the 5 other missiles at different targets, and then redied the trigger. "All flights fire" he heard over the radio. Each of the planes launched 6 guided missiles at the targets at long range.

Back in Bonstock, computers helped guide them onto their targets: the fleet below.

Smerch launchers continued their volley, and then turned to the north, firing off some 3,000 rockets at the advancing troops to the north of Sendai. The defenses still showed no signs of giving up.

A convoy departed from Maropian Coast, headed for the Sakishimas. Large container ships continued to move throughout the Pacific.

OOC: Do you know SDIs can only attack ICBMs once they have cleared the lower atmosphere?

OOC2: Bonstock, there are limits to post-modern tech. I'll let the misuse of the ABL slide, but if you attack aircraft and cruise missiles (which fly pretty low to avoid detection) with SDIs, I'll ignore it. It isn't possible due to dust and moisture.

Five more wings of F-36T's fly to Taichung from Taiwanese-owned aircraft plants in China and India.

The ROTA (Republic of Taiwan Army) has begun long range MLRS strikes from 300km away on the Maropian "Magnot Line" border defences. Air cover over Taiwan is still maintained, with modified Phoenix missiles (98% silvered surface). The air force's B-380s launch hundreds of Supersonic ALCMs at targets throughout the Maropian Coast.

Somewhere behind the Sendai line, or perhaps the Osaka line, a Russian Smerch launcher waits to unleash a barrage of deadly 300mm rockets.

A model. Thousands of these, along with triple trenches, barbed wire, and mines now stretch south of Sendai, west of Tokyo, North of Kochi, and west of Miyazaki and all around Maropian Coast and the Sakishima islands, backed up by 300mm Smerch launchers.

Smerch launchers, with way more range then MLRS, fire at the MLRS from out of their range. Nearly 1,200 of these launchers carpet the area with 300mm rockets. This line will not be crossed.

Meanwhile, aided by BSS agents, Bonstocknian paratroopers make a daring dash for the dying beachheads.

Pfc. Willy Chan, of the 6th Airborne Division, crawls down a deserted road with his squad of troops. They know they have failed at this operation. But they aren't dead. Yet. Civilians with shotguns could attack them at any moment, and though they would be outgunned and out aimed, they would still be scary. Blood would run cold when you heard their shots.

A sound was heard on the road. The troops instinctivly headed onto the side of the road, hiding in the bushes. It was a HMMWV, crossing the terrain. It paused near their position, as if scoping out for a target. Staff Sergeant Johnny Blackstone, the leader of the squad, threw a grenade into the darkness, aimed by his NVG sights. The thing exploded in the pitch black, probably knocking out the HMMWV.

The squad got up, and started crouching while walking, in the bushes, being really slow. It was still pitch black, though everyone had NVGs and could see. They kept on going, through the night, wondering how long it would take to get to the beachheads, and whether they would still be there when they got there...

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

The night wore on. Still a few miles from the beachheads, the 9 troops kept crawling. It was 1:00 am.

Sergeant Blackstone, in front, stopped, and took his canteen, and drank. The rest of the group stopped, and waited. Fear ran through Chan, as it did every Bonstocknian paratrooper out there.

He began to think about what had happened. His mind flashed back to the previous few days.

War had just broken out between the Asian Resistance and Bonstock. In their barracks, members of the 6th Airborne Division, battle scared from the night in Tokyo, were on a tense R&R. They huddled near their TV, watching BSTV.

Private Nicholas Kruemer listened to his headphones as he sat on his bunk above Chan's. The two were school friends, and when they were drafted, they both volunteered for the 6th Airborne. The two were on their bunks, as the rest of their company intensely watched the big screen TV, waiting for an announcement on the state of negotiations in Xiagou.

"Yo, Nick, you think the Asian Resistance is gonna go to war with us?"

Nick was still listening to his headphones, aloof to everything around him. Willy got up and gave him a nudge in the shoulder. He repeated his question.

"What?" Nick took off his headphones, and faced his friend. "Whad ya say?"

"I said, do you think the AR is gonna go to war with us?"

"Darn, I hope not. Between the civil war and the night in Tokyo, I think I've seen enough combat." He then pulled out a picture, and looked at it intensly.

"You still obssesed with Natalie?" inquired Willy.

"Nah, not really. She just takes my mind off all the events we're in."

Willy knew his friend was lying. Though Natalie was two years younger then he, Nick had liked her since 8th grade. Willy and Nick were now 19, having fought in their share of wars. Too young to serve in the civil war, they were now soldiers thanks to compulsory military service.

Meanwhile, the mess hall lay deserted, and dark. It was night outside, and day in Asia, where the negotiations that would decide the fates of these young men were being made. Two men crawled to the kitchen, and got up against the wall.

"No one here, Max." said one of them in a Scottish accent.

"Let's go, Pete," said the other, in a New Zealand accent.

They opened the door, and went in, crouching down on the floor. Then they got up, near some cabinets labeled "Off Limits."

"Open it, Pete!" said one in a whisper.

"ONe second, Max!" He pulled it gently open, and revealed what was in there. A whole bunch of bottles, labelled "Vodka." The faces lit up.

"We found the motherload, Max!"

"All the vodka we could want!"

Suddenly the lights flipped on.

"Private Brandybuck. Private Till. Just what do you think you're doing?"

"We weren't doin nothin, honest, Sergeant Blackstone!" said Max.

"Well, what are you holding in your hand, Private Brandybuck?"

He tried to hide the bottle of vodka.

"Exactly. Put it down. Both of you."

They complied.

"Now drop and gimme fourty!"

The Privates got on the ground, and started doing their pushups, counting softly.

-Southern Honshu, Asian Alliance territory-

Supported by the ships of the South Dalanian Expeditionary Fleet, the intial landings at Hakata Bay were underway. Amphibious landing craft had come ashore to the cheers of Asian Alliance forces based in the area. As the metallic ramp doors dropped, South Dalanian soldiers and vehicles began deploying into staggered formations, spread out in case of a sudden air attack by hostile forces.

Above the ships in the Korea Strait, air patrols had been launched from the carriers and the radar on all vessels was on full. Admiral Chien had cleverly placed the bulk of his naval forces close enough to Japann to offer support, but close enough to Cheju-do where his ships could be within the range of cruise missile batteries and land-based aircraft coming in support from Cheju-do.

Reinforcements would be following shortly, but for the 2200 soldiers already in Japann, their job was to join the Asian Alliance ranks and help turn the tide of the war against Bonstock.

Inside the barracks, the wait continued as BSTV covered the negotiations. Then, suddenly, smoke filled the air. Gas canisters went off, and people around started choking.

Back from their punitive expedition into the mess hall, Max and Pete got down to the TV. "What's all the commotion about?" said Max.

"Bloody bad! Look!"

People choked and died as the gas started dispersing.

"Damn, I hope they don't blame us!"

Suddnely, the reporter said something about an explosion in East Islandian waters. Perhaps a submarine attack. Deadly indeed. A cargo ship was sinking, and the government had blamed Bonstock.

"We're bein' set up! Just like Vica!" said Max.

"Coulda sworn ya maggots were still in school at the time," said an old cook, with a preticular disdain for Max and Pete. "Ya maggots still havnt learned to pay for your drinks!"

Max and Pete looked at eachother, and then at the TV. Then Sergeant Blackstone came in. "All right, lights out, everyone to bed. Come on! hurry on!"

The TV was turned off. Willy and Nick slipped on their blankets, and tried to get some sleep.

Northwest Honshu Beachhead

[OOC: Sado island where Spyran troops landed originally, and where the landing craft are coming from, is about 40-50km off Honshu. Naval ships firing cruise missiles are part of the large fleet of Spyr/Xiaguo ships currently blockading northwestern Honshu].

The ocean around the landing craft erupted in explosions and fountains of water. The landing was staggered... small landing craft running up along over sixty kilometres of coastline... but the sheer mass number of missiles caused incredible damage. The Dai-hatsu boats that were hit, were mostly blown apart, while near-misses swamped several other boats. Eighty boats went down in all, throwing forty tanks and over a thousand men into the water. Some of the troops began swimming for shore, discarding their heavier equipment... the tanks, of course, had no such option, and sank slowly to the bottom, along with those crewmen who were unable to escape.

Things fared little better on the beaches, as the rockets tore into the landing troops. A half-dozen tanks were left smoking and motionless, while dozens of infantry lay scattered around them, lifeless and still. But, with nowhere to retreat, the forces kept pressing forward, firing at defensive emplacements as they moved up the beaches.

Sendai Line
Several Spyran infantry were caught in the the rocket bombardment, with over thirty dead or wounded. Any casualties that were still breathing were rushed back to the Spyran field hospital for treatment, while the remaining troops continued firing.

The ROTA's MLRS retreat after sustaining moderate casualties, and have instead called in ALCM strikes on the enemy Smerches.

OOC Losses: 27 MLRS launchers

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

Escorted C-130s, taking advantage of recently established Taiwanese air superiority, have dropped MOABs onto the beachhead.

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

The ROTN's entire fleet of 60 WIGcraft begin heading out to sea, escorted by 2 wings of F-36.

The clock turned to 3:00 AM. Suddnely, the silence of the night was broken by the sudden blare of a bugle call.

"UP! UP! EVERYOBDY UP!" blared Sergeant Blackstone. "We gotta move out in an hour! Everybody up!"

Though groggy, most of them knew what it was by intuition. They packed their gear, and marched out to their airfield.

"Where do ya think we're a goin, Max?"

"I dunno, Pete. Prolly Maropian Coast."

"I damn hope they aren't running short of vodka!"

They formed into their squad under Blackstone, with Willy and Nick, and four others. They had their rifles in had. All four were part of a "fire team" led by Pfc. Willy. Pete carried a Squad Automatic Weapon, while Max carried an M-4 with a grenade launcher. Willy and Nick both got M-4s with no attachments.

They got into their C-17, and took off, going to Maropian Coast with the 6th and 9th Airborne Divisions.

They went to their new barracks at Cruncher Air Force base, Maropian Coast, ready to go at any time. C-130s waited to take them over to tehir targets.

The next two days were ones of false alerts, drills, and news of a ceasefire. A party was scheduled for the Chinese New Year. No one, even people of Chinese decent, really cared; Bonstock just used any excuse for a good shot of vodka.

But there would be no vodka now. Alerts were to tense. There wasn't even beer. Just root beer. Which satisfied Willy, Nick, and most people, but not Max and Pete.

They snuck into the kitchen, again.

"Hey, Max, where d'ya think they have the vodka?"

"I dunno! I've looked in all the cabinets."

Then, Pete looked at something on top of a crate. A bottle of vodka. One of them.

"ITS MINE!" He grabbed for it.

"NO! I WANT IT!"

"NO! ITS MINE!" They started fighting each other for the bottle. Below the bottle, a full crate was marked in red letters "VODKA." Inside were dozens of bottles.

Then, before they realized there was a whole crate, the lights flipped on.

They went back to the barracks.

"How many this time?" asked Willy, dryly.

"Only 40," replied Max, referring to the push-ups.

Pete said "They oughta let us have some vodka. Its a ceasefire!"

Suddenly, Sergeant Blackstone came in. "TO THE PLANES! EVERYBODY! NOW!"

Quickly, the men reported to their bunks, and got their gear together. Then they loaded onto the planes.

Everyone was silent as the C-130s were loaded into, and took off. Most of the soldiers knew at least some Chinese, and those who didn't practiced basic phrases.

"Ni hao. Wo shi Bonstock-ryuen," repeated Max, to the amusment of Willy.

It was a really quick ride. The loadmaster said "Over target! Everybody out!"

The troopers jumped out of the back of the aircraft, over Chiang Kai-shek International Airport. Missiles filled the sky, and almost as soon as the last man got out of the Hercules, it blew up, hit by multiple SAMs. The troops parachuted to their drop zones, upon confused _Taiwanese troops.

Willy landed with a thud, casting off his parachute, and joining his squad. They had the misfortune of landing in an urban area, and went inside a house for cover. Then they decided it was too risky to try and take the airport, which seemed to be guarded by at least two divisions.

Artillery pounded at the airport's positions, but to no real avail. Troops started withdrawing, into the area between the airport and the sea.

And so this was how Willy had ended up in his position. Then a radio transmission came in.

"Hold positions until relieved. Hold positions until relieved."

By now, the artillery of the 6th Airborne had come in, and started pounding at the airport with all 72 of its 105mm howitzers.

The situation turned bleak quickly. Artillery fired at the paratroopers, and militias charged at them. A small area was taken between the airport and Taipei. Houses were searched thoughroughly, and bitter streetfighting ensued.

ooc: keep in mind this is what's going on in Willy's mind. It happened, but it isn't now. I'll go back to posting for the current time when I'm done with my story.

Before the C-130s can go at it, the Bonstocknian JAS 39s come in and attack them with missiles.

ooc: No one has air superiority.
