GOSSELIN CITY - Startling events rocked the northern Gosselanian town of New Listowel. A Tungii nationalist group as well as an all-Tungii Regiment of the Gosselanian Army marched on New Listowel without warning early this morning. Despite a militia unit being based in New Listowel, they scarecely had time to phone their troops before the Tungii insurgents had overwhelmed the entire town without firing a shot.

All communications are cut off and the TUngii force has yet to release any statements or demands.

The Regiment involved is the Tucang Light Infantry. All three of its battalions entered the city early this morning, followed by approximately 1000 Tungii nationalists.

Little is known about the nationalists or their aims, but we will post more as the story develops.

In a statement issued today, the Gosselin Army has denounced the move and has declared the Tucang Regiment as a renegade force. The military has been put on high alert and a brigade is being mobilized at Camp Dallaire, 120 km away.

Gosselanian leader John Gosselin found the news "upsetting" and "regrettable". Top-level officials have attempted to establish a dialog with the insurgents, but have yet to succeed. The military is preparing for the worst. While no civilians have yet been harmed, it is assumed that they are hostages of the invaders.

*bump*

Irondin is willing to send elites and war engineers to help.

"Sir?"

"What!?" barked the Defence Minister.

"We have messages from Irondin offering troops to help us."

"Thank them and decline," said the Minister, visibly annoyed. "Why are you even asking me this? We have hundreds of thousands of troops on alert to face a force of 4000. It's not even a problem, as far as might is concerned."

"Besides, it's an internal matter. The press just sensationalized it."

"But sir," interjected the aid, "wouldn't this be a good chance to gain some allies? Cooperate with other nations?"

"It's a very touchy situation. If we go in and crush the rebellion, we risk alienating the Tungii. That's half our population right there. The last thing we need is a unity problem. But we can't really do anything yet if we don't know what they want."

"Can't we just send in a negotiator?" asked the aid.

"We've been trying that all day. They turn everyone away. All we can do is lay siege to the city until they confront us."

"And why not siege with Irondin?"

"It just complicates matters. The generals wouldn't want foreigners..."

"The Generals are behind it sir." the aid interrupted. "They're the ones who forwarded me the message."

"Fine," the Minister submitted, "let them have their way. But on one condition: Their force be small and and conform to whatever else the Generals have to say. Alright?"

"Yes sir! I'll send the reply immediately."

(OOC: I won't be able to post more until Friday night)

"Commander Gosselania has accepted are aid on the condition that there is little and that the local Generals have full command"

"what" asked JC "that there is little?"

"yes Sir"


"odd..... OK send 100 elites and 10 war engineers Give them the best equipment we got."


"Yes sir I am giving the order"

the Underling walks out of the room


"hmmm..." Mumbled JC " I got a bad feeling about sending so little troops"


OOC: JC is the name of Irondin's High General (IE 4 star General)
