OOC: If anyone owns Thailand, they can assume control.

Three days ago the Greater Singapuran Army send 20,000 men into Thai territory to hunt fleeing elements of the Khmer Rouge. Two months ago (NS), Singapura had invaded and occupied Cambodia for increased Khmer Rouge activity and attacks on Greater Singapura. The GSA quickly established control and began a war on guerrilla fighters in the country. A large portion fled to already established bases in Eastern Thailand, where they were launching attacks on GSA-held Cambodia.

General Takeda Singh, in control of GSA forces in SE Asia, stated that Greater Singapura will annihilate the evil Red Khmers, responsible for over 4 million deaths in Cambodia, root and branch, wherever they hide.

The Republic of China supports this action, and has offered logistic support for the war effort.

We of the Aequatian Republic support the actions of Greater Singapura, we would like to offer the assistance of a Carrier Strike Group and a division of Marines in your operations to capture or destroy elements of Khmer Rouge.

Stating corruption among Thai leaders, the GSA has mobilized almost 350,000 men in SE Asia under the command of Takeda Singh. 170,000 men will move into Thailand to remove the murder-supporting Thai regime and clear out Red Khmer activity in Thailand, while the rest will continue stabilizing Cambodia.


Eastern Thailand....

Takeda Singh observed carefully as Challenger tanks began rolling across into Thailand, watching as elements of the Royal Thai Army were put to route by the well-trained, well-equipped Greater Singapuran Army. Khmer Rouge forces had nowhere to run now. The monarchal Thai government would be replaced. The Thai equipment was either inadequate native-made, or aging Western, inequal to the task of defeating the heavily armed Singapuran Army with its superb air support in the form of Mirage 5 planes. The few B-2s the GSAF had were put to use on supply trains to the Royal Thai Army. In the south, the GSN had finished its blockade of Thailand, with ships traveling from the Andaman Islands and Cambodia to cut supply routes from the east and west. Overhead, inaccurate shells took out the odd Singapuran soldier, but nothing anywhere near enough to stop the inexorable GSA drive on Bangkok. The Thai were not guerrilla fighters.
As Goh Chok Tong had promised, this was all too easy.

To Greater Singapura,

The Argyllian government strongly supports your actions against the Kymer Rouge in the area of Thailand. We feel it is about time someone dealt with this problem in South-East Asia. We are willing to provide ground attack aircraft based out of Manilla in the Phillipines (an Argyllian Naval and Air Force Base). These are Tornado Gr.4's and will be able to go into action in around 48 hours after being told to prepare for combat.

PM Daniel Burke

We accept your aid, but request that ground operations be strictly Singapuran. Any air support is welcome, while naval forces to ensure the blockade of Thailand is also helpful.


Thailand...


The Royal Thai Army had been defeated in three major battles so far, which were contested by the fierce Thai but in the end gave out to GSA technological and disciplinary superiority. Singapuran Mirage aircraft brought news of a last-stand attempt by the Thai Army and Air Force in the outskirts of Bangkok. Takeda Singh ordered in more air support, and Mirage 5 or F-15J aircraft began flying sortie after sortie into the last-ditch Thai stand at Bangkok. Small detachments of 5,000 moved north and south with armor support to outflank the RTA in Bangkok.

Battle of Bangkok


Takeda Singh watched the sun rise over the assembled Thai and Singapuran armies. His army was approximately equal to the Royal Thai in terms of manpower, but far ahead in terms of materiel and technology. Immediately elements of the GSAF began engaging what was left of the RTAF, Mirage and F-15J planes battering the remnants of Thai Air Force before the ground assault.

Then the order came, and 105mm shells from hundreds of tanks began screaming away from the GSA positions, the RTA tried to cope with run-down M48s and a few M60s as best they could, but the majority were out of repair and did not have proper maintenance. Thai Stingray tanks tried to return fire but they were lightly armored and most were knocked out by missiles from the air or shells from the ground. The artillery duel ended with most of the Royal Thai positions being silenced. Then the general assault came, and small arms fire rang out along with shells and missiles as the GSA began pounding the Thai positions. Then, as battle was joined, the another Thai army poured out from Bangkok, made up of 10,000 ill-trained reservists and two thousand Khmer Rouge. The sheer momentum slowed down the Singapuran advance, but as the battle grew closer to stalemate an additional 5,000 reinforcements for the GSA entered from the north and injected the GSA with new energy. The Singapuran Army routed the Thai army, and shelled Bangkok before entering the southern city trimumphantly,
Takeda Singh prepared his next offensives, west towards the peninsula, and north. 2/3 of Thailand remained unconquered, but Thai military strength in the south, east, and north-east was shattered. The last Thai army was in the northwest. On the eastern side of Bangkok efforts began to move Thai POWs and clean up GSA bodies, estimated to be around 1350 killed


The day after...

One Singapuran army whelled south, composed of 30,000 veterans, and began mopping up resistance in the the Thai peninsula. Another force of 30,000 moved north from along the Lao border. The final force of some 190,000 men struck out north-west from Bangkok. They would head to the last native army in Thailand stationed at Chiang Mai.


In Cambodia...

Khmer Rouge morale was at a low point. Zhang Yide, in control after Takeda Singh's invasion of Thailand, continued the war of attrition against Cambodian terrorists. With the removal of their bases in Thailand, the Khmer Rouge were in dire straits.
