Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Maria Carey from CIGP GOD IS GREAT NEWS. Today university students have all gathered in the capital city Corpus and protested against the central government. Some wish to see the independence of annexedd nations restored, some a republic, some the end of Capitalism, but all wish for the a new, Secular state.
After the Magisterium sent brave Imperial Troops in to execute the trouble rousers un anticapated violence broke out as against convention, the 800,000 protestors began to fight back.
Civil unrest has since spread to every corner of the Empire, and the Bishop-King has demanded that all foreign nation stay out of his nation, whilst the protestors all over the country have pleaded for foreign help.
The next few visions are of the evil anarchich protestors destroying all order in our peaceful society.

You can make anyone look bad from the way you talk about them. What we call news could well be called propaganda (sp?). It all depends on you point of view.

ooc umm yes that was kind of the point

Roycelandia is not fond of Religious Nations and supports secularity in all its forms. Accordingly, we wish to make it known (discreetly) that we are prepared to supply, train, and arm anyone in CIGP who wishes to overthrow the Current Government.

The approach is being made to the leading Anti-Government group by an Imperial Intelligence Service Agent, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The IIS, by the way, make Mossad and MI5 look like amateurs. Their mere existence is almost totally unknown in Roycelandia and Roycelandia's Colonies- most people assume that the Imperial Security Bureau handles all the "James Bond" stuff. How wrong they are...

ooc anyone tougher than Mossad must really be hard arses. And no i wasnt being sarcastic.

In the Gulag province, the southernmost part of the CIGP empire Peter Arnold slowly raised the Red Flag of Revolution over the town square of Gula, the Gulag province capital. The province, long believed to be an anti-government stronghold was the first province to deeclare its independence. An esatimated 700,000 protestors from the 12million strong population in the province slaughtered the 150,000 loyal government forces in the area, whilst around 50,000 CIGP soldiers defected to the Rebels.
A plea has gone out for arms, food, money, and freedom fighters to help the fledgling army to push into central CIGP, and destroy the oppressive government.
Meanwhile repeated rioting in the city has led to an estimated 2,000 deeaths in the last few days, with riots unabated, that death toll is expected to drastically rise.

Communist Likons government pledges $5,ooo,ooo to the rebels as well as food, blankets, thousans of M-i6's and AK-47's as well as Frag grenades, anti tank field guns, and 250 pieces of heavy artillery. For the moment no troops will be pledged but we are closely monitoring the situation

A message is passed to Peter Arnold through "trusted intermediaries."

It reads:

"Tell us what you need. We can help in ways that may not be immediately obvious. K."

OOC: In other words, Roycelandia is offering their assistance... economically and militarily...

leaving a note under a rock behind a tree north 45 degrees of a brown dog Peter Arnold leaves a message.

We need guns and supplies. The rioters in the capital Corpus seem to be abating, we need pressure put on the capital to keep the government, and their elite troops deadlocked as we free more provinces. Can you help cause chaos in the capital?

OOC: If you don’t want me RPing with agents already inside your country then I can RP some other contact option.

A short encrypted message is sent to the leaders of the revolutionaries in CIGP. It reads,

Watertest can support the rebel movement with massive amounts of money and equipment. If you are interested, have a contact meet one of our agents in the abandoned warehouse on Fourth Street Aberdeen Way.

A chalk mark on a Church Wall in a small town leads the Rebels to a note left in the Confessional, sellotaped underneath the seat in such a way that only those who know where it is could find it. It reads"

"Your pleas have been heard. Approximately 5 miles out of town, there is a bard with a green roof and one door missing. Underneath the haystack at the back, by the rusting tractor, you will find a trapdoor. The door is wired, so run a magnet over it first to deactivate the booby trap. Open the trapdoor, and you will find a cache of weapons. Specifically:

100 Lee-Enfield Mk III .303 Rifles
20 Bren .303 Light Machine Guns
250 Tiger .357 Magnum/12 gauge Revolvers
40 AKSU-74 5.45mm SMGs
50 M1928A1 .45 SMGs
200 HE/Lye Grenades
5,000 rounds of ammo for each calibre

Ask in the bar at the Red Lion for Mike Connery. He can help you further.

We trust these will be useful to you. As for the Capital, we have people working on the situation as we speak. -K."

Meanwhile, in Corpus...

The sniper shifted slightly in his position, keeping his Lee-Enfield Enforcer sniper rifle scoped on the doorway of the building opposite his.

In all the years he had worked for the IIS, this was the weirdest task yet... NOT killing someone.

The building across the road was an fabulously upmarket Restaurant (5 stars, according the Michelin Guide he had read when selecting a target).

He had been there for an hour and a half, watching his target dine with a woman half his age and quite obviously not his wife (or daughter, judging by the way they were acting and what she was wearing. Still...)

Finally, the oppurtunity presented itself. The two of them stepped outside, and just as their lips met, a Photographer leapt out from behind a car and took several, very incriminating, Flash Photos. Momentarily dazzled by the flash, the Minister for Religious Morality and Values and his mistress didn't see the muzzle flash from the sniper's rifle. The silencer muzzled the report, and a nanosecond later, the .308 bullet smashed through both the Minister and his mistresses' kneecaps, sending the pair sprawling onto the footpath as the photographer continued photographing. His work done, he melted back into the shadows, just as the ambulance arrived to help the injured minister and "friend".

By this time, the Sniper had broken down his rifle and was long gone, vanishing into the Underground Rail network and from there onto a safe house.

Throughout the night, Religious Institutions were bombed (never churches, oddly enough), and more riots were incited, along with extra looting... the police mysteriously discovering all their cars had flat tyres, sugar in the engines, or pressing engagements elsewhere...

OOC: Like I said, the IIS are very good at what they do. I hope I didn't overstep the mark with the Minister thing. If I did, let me know and I'll edit accordingly...

To reply to the lawlessness in the natons capital, the CIGP Magisterium granted General Gabriel full autocratic powers. His 50,000 men inside the city have ordered a full time curfew, anybody in the streets will be instantly shot. No arrests, no prisoners. Re inforcements of up to 250,000 men will be arriving in the next two days to handle the situation.
50,000 men and 1,000 tanks began to roam the capitals streets.

"The Autocracy of Nili hopes that the rebels fare well in destroying the oppressive Catholic Church, but unfortunately at this time is not in the position to send military aid at this time."

~His Divine Majesty~

The emperor of Unified Sith is willing to provide tanks and planes to aid the governments cause.

Rebellions make my skin crawl :cry:

Operating well outside the city, the IIS again pass a message to the rebels asking what further assistance they require.

With a full-time curfew in place, obviously industry has ground to a halt and it won't be long before more riots break out...

General Che greeted the rebel leader. Peter Arnold was pleased to meet him, and his many many supplies of weapons as well as basic living supplies such as blankets, food and water. Standing at the head of his 2,ooo volunteers in his Khakis and black beret with Red Star he looked like a true revolutionary hero.
He is from Communist Likon, its youngest General at 32. After hearing of the rebellion he immediatley resigned and formed a revolutionary volunteer force. He is in no wat connected with the CL govenment, although he does have their support.
"Mr Arnold, we will fight with you,but after the war we will leave, we have no wish to force our system upon the people of CIGP after they have gaineed their freedom, but until then i hope we can be allies"
Arnold smiled and nodded

With citizens of the capital slaughtered and many of his men dead Geabriel's only comfort was that the city was once again quiet. He knew that now he could trun to more important matters. The Gulag uprising as it was now known was turning the far reaches of the Empire into anarchic states. The Southern and Northern parrts of the Empire were mainly seperated by a huge bay, and the Guug desert. He knew that to defeat the rebels before they fully gained momentum he would have to stop them in the desert.
He grabbed and aid and made him write down orders to General Lemmor, the Desert Fox. With 30,000 men and 200 tanks he would have to stop the Rebels before they could cross the desert. In the meantime he would fortify the Northern Empire, and prepare for the counterattack.

"Citizens of Rotovia, ladies and gentlemen of the Press and the Internatiol Community. In light of the resent actions of CIGP the Senate of the Allied States of Rotovia has imposed complete economic sanctions upon the nation. We call upon the nations of the world who value human life and liberty to do the same, for if we do not stand up to tyranny now, there will be noone left to speak when tyranny is at our doorsteps"

http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/17142/AveryBrooks.jpg

Communist Likon supports the full economic sanctions upon CIGP, and if their attrocities against the citizens of CIGP are not halted then we will be forced to lead a full naval blockade of your nation.

Communist Likon supports the full economic sanctions upon CIGP, and if their attrocities against the citizens of CIGP are not halted then we will be forced to lead a full naval blockade of your nation.
"Should such a blockade be enforced the Allied States will lend it's full endrosement and support. Including the use of vessels from Rotovia to help secure the blockade"

The railway station was under siege, but the rebels were to strong for the few security guards holding the last CIGP posession in the Gulag. The rebel troops had grown to over a million infantry, with 740 captured tanks and 1,000 captured artillery pieces. Soon the last guards were captured, those who surrendered were executed. This was a war without prisoners.
The train was connected to the trracks, it was the only railway line across the desert, 20,000 troops would make their way across the railway in several trips, whilst the rest would march, as the original 20,000 created a HQ.
General Che and his men moved towards the port town, St Augustias, where there was believed to be many vessels capable of making the trip up the coast.

ooc CL is it ok if i dictate wat Che is doing?

ooc go for it
IC
The Government of Communist Likon announces that it shall officially blockade the CIGP coastline, and prevent ANY trade or military ships to enter CIGP waters, to this purpose it sends,

2 Aircraft Carriers
10 Battleships
29 Destroyers
17 Submarines
37 Cruisers
14 Dreadnoughts

The People's Militia of La Habana fully supports the CIGP rebel forces and has delivered 100 T-90 tanks to the rebel forces.

The train rolled by, Lemmor judged there was about 2,000 trtoops on it. As the bombs he had earlier placed on the tracks systematically blew the carriages to shreds, he smiled. In the desert he was master, the rebels would not pass him this way.

In outrage at the brutal sanctions against our ally CIGP, the Sun King Louis XIV has announced the deployment of 50 Destroyers and 10 Battleships to rid CIGP of Communist froces. A further 50,000 Imperial troops and 1,000 T-85 Tanks will be sent to the capital Corpus and used in conjunction with the wishes of the CIGP government.
A furtehr 100,000 troops are being readied for action at any time.

Slowly the colums of troops moved through the dunes. Tanks rolled seperatley, seeking the enemy. Ever since receiving the news of the convoys destruction Peter Arnold was taking no chances. A huge ridge loomed ahead of them.
Just as it seemed they would make it through unhindered mortars began to fall. Gunfire rained from above, Peter Arnold and his men ran, or fired, chaos ensuing. Above Lemmor smiled. This was far to easy.

The blockaded was officially in place. Already Likonian forces had fired upon several ships, warning them off and causing no damage. The news of approaching Lipvin ships cause no fear, merely bewilderment that they would attempt to intimidate a superior force. The news of the troops they are sending is even more bewlidering, and an official statement warns that the blockade would stop their feet ever touching CIGP soil.

The Lipvin fleet came into sight, Just as it was out of range of the Likonian fleets guns torpedoes starrted exploding, ripping into the Lipvins hulls. The Wolf pack Likonian submarines slowly ripping apart the enemy destroyers, sinking transport ships miles away from land.
Suddenly the Likon fighter jets, launched frfom the aircraft carriers flew down, sending down hails of machine gun fire and launching missiles. The Lipvinity fleet looked almost certainly doomed.

The fleet was in disarray, 17 destroyers and 4 battleships were destroyed, 3 battleships and 29 destroyers were damaged, 13,000 men were confimed dead, another 17,000 missing, presumed deead, as well as 700 tanks lost.
The Sun King, Louis XIV, in response to this action has declared war against Communist Likon and will step up its military operations.
The following forces will be sent to CIGP
500,000 Infantry
2,500 T-85 Tanks
300 MiG-29's
700 Heavy artillery pieces
30 Battleships
70 Destroyers

The Government of Communist Likon has responded to the Lipvin aggression by declaring war upon Lipvinity and its allyCIGP. 2million infantry will be immediatley dispatched to CIGP, as well as 2,500 T-90 and 1,300 T-85 tanks, and 5,000 artillery pieces

the rebels were being slaughtered, bombs fell and bullets mowed them down in unbelieveable numbers, yet they fought on. eventually troops worked their way out of the ridge and attacked the Imperial troops. Numbers prevailed despite their losses. The Imperial army tried to retreat, but General Che was waiting, at the first sign of Likonian ships he had come back to help, and with him had brought 2million trroops and thousands of tanks. In hours the Imperial army was wiped out.
Two days later the newly named People's Army, and the Likonian army marched out of the desert, and onto traditional CIGP land, before the Empire. Only centrral CIGP remained loyal, all the provinces were restraining rebellions.
The days of Imperialist CIGP, was over.

Secret IC (To CIGP Rebels);

our operativeas have placed two large crates in the Guug desert, near a massive ridge. they contain;

first crate: fusalage, cockpit and tail of a F-5 Tiger II
second crate: wings of a F-5 Tiger II plus 19 AK-47s

ooc CIGP can you post a map so we all know where we're going?

well can you?

ooc no soz but i cant make maps. CIGP proper is the same size as Germany and its capital is roughly where Berlin is.
IC
50 miles away from Corpus General Gabriel was inspecting a large room. It was cavernous, one kilometre wide, and 7 high it was filled with levels and platforms. All covered in 20,000 pods. Gabreil was underground of this enormous secret facility, watching the face of one of his best troops as he was stripped and placed in a machine. Electricity began to slwoly gather in wires all around the machine before lighting it with Crimson fire. Gabriel heard the soldier scream as electric currenst began to swirl up the cavern, lighting the 20,000 pods.
"How long does it take?" Gabriel asked the head technician, Professor Thaed.
"About 23 hours sir, and another hour on the train to the city." Thead replied. Soon 20,000 clones would be made operational and pumped into corpus everyday. Gabriel breathed a sigh of belief, his last line of defense was becomming operational.

In Corpus the Magisterium had ordered a quota of 5,000 dead everyday, to make sure that order was kept and when the clone army arrived there would be enough supplies.

The Rebel Army took its places. Comming out of the desert there was just one last city before the capital. That city, Vareb, was slowly being surrounded. The cities population of 4 million already had 50,000 fighting internally against the Imperial troops there. However there was 2million Imperial troops inside, with heavy artillery. The rebels could not afford the losses insued by an attack, not could they bypass such a formidable army and leave it at their backs

The Lipvin trroops landed on CIGP soil. There was,
500,000 Infantry
2,500 T-85 Tanks
300 MiG-29's
700 Heavy artillery pieces
As they landed the support ships and transports sailed away, past the Likon blockade they had managed to infiltrate. Louis XIV had maded it very clear, this was a war with Victory, or death.
The Royal Army, under the command of the Duke of Brunswick began the march towards Corpus, there they woudl aid their ally in the final batte soon to occur.

General Che, the new commander of the Red Army in CIGP waited outside Vareb. Revolutionary Radio had warneed all civilians to hide underground. The reason why flew overhead. Red Navy fighters and bombers flew overhead covering Vareb in bombs and missiles. After 1 hour, the Red Army moved into the city.

Lemmor ducked underneath a fallen apartment block. The army he had been put in command of after his escape from the rebels was undersupplied and de-moralised. At least 150,000 had been slaughtered by the bombs and the falling buildings and another 100,000 had defected. Most of his artillery had been destroyed and different regiments of his troops were fighting within themselves. In the city centre with him were 500,000 loyal troops, with 20 artillery pieces. The rest of his troops were gone, descendedd into anarchy soemwhere in the city. Lemmor ordered his men to fire, more men were trying to desert.

The Red and the Rebel Army crawled forward, their numbers had been bolstereed by deserters and the now numbered 2 million Red Army and 4 million rebels. They slowly moved upon the defenders.
As they came into sight, the Red Army fired mortars and threw grenades before attacking the enemy positions. Suffering around 10,000 casualties the Red Army vanquishedd the Imperail Army, no prisoners were taken.
Lemmor was hung from the city centre, a reminder of dying Imperial injustice.

The Magisterium shouted. 750 Bishops who ruled the nations voices screamed over that of the Bishop-King, their leader.
"Gabriel has gone mad, creating life no one but God may do that, he and his clone army must be destroyed!" Screamed Bishop Lafayette, the notorious Right Wing leader of the Advocates, the dominanting group of the Magisterium. Shouts from his 401 supporters echoed him.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures, Gabriel is our last hope, surely God will not disapprove in such circumstances." Shouted Danton, the leader of the Leftist Martyr faction. Looking around he saw the doubting faces even within his own faction, he quietly sighed and decided to play his final hand. "Lafayette only wants us to deestroy Gabriel so he can become the most powerful man in the Empire after your majesty, he wishes to kill Lafayette, destroy the invaders and rebels, and displace the King. He thinks of himself, i think of the nation!"
This time no doubt came, the chorus of cries were very certain in condemning Danton. He was lead out of the chamber immediatley by the Kings guards, and against the wall met his God.
With unexpected speed Lafayette, the new governor of CIGP by appointment of the KIng issued his orders, and the self destruct procedure began, burying Gabriel and his clones under eartyh and concrete. They to, saw God this day.

The United Armiesmarched for over a day before reaching Corpus. It was to far away fro naval air support, but artillery still fired. Tanks and heavy artillery pundeed the city as the Red Army and the rebel troops surrounded the city. The United Armies offered the Bishop-King an ultimatum.

1. Surrender your forces
2. Disband the Magisterium
3. Announce full secularisation
4. Abdicate yourself and all your heirs from the throne

Louis-Phillipe, Bishop-King of the Holy Empire of CIGP is saddened by the rejectio of his benevolant rule by his own people. He will adhere to the Allied demands, and announces the abdication of he and his line, the disbanding of the magisterium, the surrender of his loyal yet slightly underfed troops, and the full secularisation of the CIGP state.
May God have mercy on your souls.

The throne sat high above the councillors. Louis XIV, the Sun King of the Kingdom of Lipvinity listened as his two main councillors offered their advice.
"If we do not pull them out the situation will only get worse. The Bishop-King has abdicated his throne. There is nothing we can gain frrom this situation." Said Duke Samuel of Prestior.
"We have 500,000 men within Corpa, if we can hold out we can gain a chunk of land within CIGP, the north is very rich in oil is it not?" Asked Sir Michale, the Kings most warlike advisor.
"You would sacrifice 500,000men for economic gain?" Asked Prestior.
"No. I would sacrifice 500,000 men for the Nations economic gain." Michale replied, loooking towards the King. Louis nodded to him, the men would be sacrificed for the general good.

In the city of Corpa the Duke of Brunswick received his orders.

SECRET COMMUNICATION TO THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK COMMANDER OF HIS MAJESTY'S ARMIES WITHIN CIGP.
1. YOU ARE TO HOLD THE CITY AT ALL COSTS
2. YOU ARE TO DEMAND THE GAIN OF LAND IN THE NORTH IN RETURN FOR PEACE
3. YOU ARE TO PUNISH THE ABDICATED CIGP HEAD OF STATE AND HIS PARLIAMENT IN REVENGE FOR THE TREASON OF OUR EX ALLIES AGAINST US.

Brunswick quickly began to carry out his orders. Arresting Louis-Phillipe and his ex government. Their executions were quick, but not silent.

Word of the Lipvinity massacres seepedd outside of Corpa. The Allied Armies ordered an evacuation of the city, not in the conventional way, but secretly through the sewers and tunnels. In the 13 days it took to do this the Lipvin army consolidated its positions, as did the Allied Armies, bringing in the ex CIGP air forces from all over the empire. The bombing campaign would not end until not one building in Corpa, nor one Lipvin soldier remaining insidee was standing. A new era was about to be born in the blood of the past.
