Alexander Rhodes bullied by generals?

15-05-2004, 02:04
In a recent discussion with several international diplomats, Alexander Rhodes declared he was considering hiring 200,000 foreign mercenaries to enter into FWS to crush the strikes and bring the armed forces and police into line.

The issue was raised of how 200,000 foreign mercenaries could possibly "bring into line" a profession well trained and experienced army numbering about 650,000 soldiers and a reserve / militia force of approximately 1,500,000. Also the police forces are approximately 100,000.

After he spoke with group of about 10 of his generals however he quickly retracted his earlier statement as "poorly worded and inappropriate".


Alexander Rhodes just recently became the president of the FWS but already it seems most think he will be a failure due largely to the refusal of about 98% of the population to accept the exile of ex-president Hendrik Rhodes.

The strikes are still going strong and the numbers on strike have risen to approximately 3.25 million.

Corporations, Generals, and Banks have said they will pay workers who are on strike because in the word's of one Banking CEO, "It is so important that we break this government and get Hendrik back. The strikes must continue. To help them contiune, we will make .5% interest loans to any strikers who apply."

One general was quoted as saying, "I had three estates and two farms, I've sold two of my estates and one farm. I am going to use the money to pay soldiers who are on strike so they can afford food and such. We must break this government."

If Hendrik Rhodes was so popular why was he exiled?

He was sentenced to exile as punishment for his crimes. Read the threads on it. There are 3-4

Unified Sith.

Also, to spare his people any bloodshed, Hendrik went peacefully.

There is currently peace because Hendrik Rhodes asked all who love and revere him not to use violence in anyway. He said they should obey Alexander as much as they used to obey himself.

Dear Alex,

We, the nation of Nycton has took high intrest in your nation. We support the current government 110% and would like to offer it a proposition. In your current crisis, a large sum of your population is having a national strike. Nycton is prepared to strengthen hold on the country and her economy but wants some war spoils, and a bill simular to the Marshal Doctrine to be issued within the country. Peace keepers will remain for up to 6-18 years depending on how stable the government is. Military advisors and special forces will train military of Fascist White States to a fighting force capable of a voice in the international world. What is Rhode's decision?

High regards,
The Inner Circle

Greetings,
I must respectfully decline. I will not compromise our national sovereignty. Also I only have the support of about 2% the nation. Our army is already very well trained. All sorts of ww2 fascist fighters that fled to our nation decades ago gave us the foundation for our academy programs in armoured warfare. We have a grand army for our size. Also, it would only cause death. I respectfully decline. Hendrik won't allow anything to get out of hand.
