9:00 pm, International Waters Off The Coast of Acre Union
The Credonian Carrier fleets sail at a gentle 5 knots performing normal patrol duties looking for any hostiles in the area.

CNS Zavier Communications Room
Communication room officers sit around talking, joking, and having fun, on what has been so far a dreadfully uneventful evening. Suddenly a flash message warning siren goes off and the men jump to their feet looking at their screens to read the message. It is from Credonian War Headquarters:


TO: All Naval Vessels, Credonian Carrier Fleets, International Waters, Coast of Acre Union
From: Credonian War Headquarters, Credonia City, Credonia
ENCRYPTED

DIRECTIVE: 122-1A

ORDERS:
Intelligence has indicated that five days ago, the nation of Acre Union begin planning invasion attacks on Ottoman Khaif and possibly Johor as well as other allies who liberated them during the first AU war. We are currently not sure of an attack date, however, allied attacks are to begin immediately before they have a chance to carry out any attacks upon our allies. The Credonian Western Army is mobilized and is already enroute. You are to attack the following targets:


ICBM Bunkers
NBC Facilities
Military Bases
National Infrastructures
Government Facilities
Oil Refineries
Factories
Manufacturing Plants


These Targets are of critical importance. Do not attack civilian targets and try to minimize all civilian casualties.

Our goal is to minimize the threat that Acre Union has presented to our allies and pave the way for a full scale allied invasion and occupation to ensure that AU does not again become a threat to our allies or the world. Throw everything you've got at them. Good Luck.


General Mitchell .A. Ferguson
Credonian Secretary of Defense
Alexander Sutton Presidential Administration

After reading the message senior comms officer rushes the letter to the captain of the carrier and returns to the comms room. The captain issues orders to prepare for a carrier assault.

Under the ocean, Credonian Los Angeles Class Submarines lurk. They too recieved the orders. Within10 minutes all LA Class SSN's were ready to fire their main payload of cruise missiles to bombard and take out key facilities in Acre Union. This would be the shock and awe of the war. The opening offensive by allied forces and the start of the end for Acre Union and his unprovoked aggression towards the allies.

CNS Sutton LA Class SSN
This is the captain. Spin up Missiles 1-5 and 6-26. The use of force has been authorized. The CNS Sutton, the most senior and most decorated LA Class SSN would begin the offensive by disabling AU electronic systems via EMP.

Two minutes later, 5 LGM-130 Supersonic Tomahawk cruise missiles armed with one EMP warhead each, with a range of 15 km breached the surface of the water and soared into the sky, staying just low enough to avoid rarad detection. Soon after 50 more LGM-130 cruise missiles breached the surface of the water from all of the combined LA Class Submarines and streaked towards their various targets.

(For clarification, 1 EMP warhead is going to hit the capital, the other 4 will hit 4 major cities, the other 50 cruise missles are tipped with normal explosives and will hit main power plants, main factories and manufacturing plants, oil refineries, nuclear power plants, and city infrastructure.)

The Minister of Defense rushed into the President's office.

"Sir, we have a situation over at Acre Union. Our ally, Credonia, has started a wave of violent attacks on key installations, and might be preparing for a full scale invasion of Acre Union."

"Acre Union.. they are aggressive towards us, and they stand against everything we believe in. Proposed course of action, Neils?"

"I have Admiral Estral here, of the Khadisiya Fleet. He suggests a full scale invasion of our own, and coordination with Credonia and allies of course. Admiral?"

"Yessir. Mr. President, these guys have been a pain in the arse of democracy for a long time now.. Let us have a piece of the action, and we won't let you down."

"There needs to be a discussion with the cabinet before any action is taken."

Office of the President
The Dominion of Greenmanbry

ATTN: Admiral Estral of the GMB Navy, Major General Mitchell Smithyry of the "Striker" Division, General Mohammed Arraf of the "Hammerhead" Division


The President of the Dominion of Greenmanbry authorizes the use of force in the raging conflict against Acre Union. You are to begin immediate mobilization of the Al-Khadisiya Fleet, along with the most potent land-based weaponry we have in order to defeat the threat posed to the free world by Acre Union.

Assist Credonia, and use the massive armadas you have wisely. This war is fully conventional at the moment.

You have my blessings, and the blessings of Greenmanbry's government and people.

President Ahmed Byrnashty
The Dominion of Greenmanbry

Office of the President

By dawn of the next day, the Navy's transports were being loaded with D-51 Saladins, D-31 Petras, and D-11 Apocalypses. These new weapons will prove very potent and destructive on the upcoming battlefields. General Arraf grinned as he thought of the surprises awaiting Acre Union.

OOC: As its closed who exactly is invited to post?

OOC: OA allies, Acre Union and his allies (if they even participate)

Shears House, 1415 hours

"I can see no other option, Prime Minister. With the intelligence we've seen, we have to intervene."

Prime Minister Mac Diarmada paused. "Very well. Tell the Generals to mobilise their men provisionally. I will put the declaration of war against Acre Union before the House right away. Tell them to have the Labyrinth District Army ready to leave by tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir." The Defence Minister left the cabinet room and left the PM alone with his thoughts.


Government press release, 2115 hours
At 2100 hours this morning, the Republic of Thrace-Tailteann declared war on the Zionist Theocracy of Acre Union. Credible intelligence indicates their intention to attack our allies. We will be participating in this initiative led by Credonia, with the aim of bringing liberty and democracy to the people of Acre Union, and security and peace to the world at large. Our thoughts go with our soldiers, who will be leaving tomorrow morning. May peace and freedom one day return.

OOC: I will post our forces in a few hours.

President Byrnashty looked pale. He sat in front of the television camera ready to address the Dominion.

"Mr. President, you're on in 5,4,3,2,1,..."

"Dear citizens of Greenmanbry, I come before you in a period of extreme tension between the world's great powers. You do realize that our country has always cherished certain ideals, with liberty first and foremost. This has made Greenmanbry the great nation that it is today.

You also know of my position regarding despicable imperialism. This position has forced our nation into one war already, but one nation's efforts cannot obliterate this threat of foreign aggression on weaker nations. We border several imperialist countries, and our nation is always on high alert to hold back aggressors.

This same position has forced me into yet another conflict, this time with the Zionist Theocracy of Acre Union. I have ordered the heads of all Greenmanbry military branches to start the systematic destruction of this country's offensive capabilites, since it has thoroughly planned the annexssion of several of our key allies, thus threatening our very own existence.

I have moved, along with several allies, and with the unanimous support of the House of Representatives, to put an end to Acre Union's state-sponsored terrorist threats for good, and will not stop at anything until order is restored in that dreaded theocracy.

All I ask from you, valiant citizens, is to support our troops, and to support our struggle against imperialism.

All I ask from our troops on the front lines is to do their job to the best of their ability, and come home safely. We have done everything to ensure they have the best possible array of equipment and materials, and I have no doubt that victory will be swift, and that our sons will come back home victorious.

Thank you and God bless."

Admiral Estral heard the broadcast as the final preparations were made for his fleet to depart. He grinned.. The poor bastards won't know what hit 'em.. He walked into the operations room, and stared at the six Nimitz carriers moving away into the horizon through the small window. He then lit up a cigar and went to brief his subordinates.

The Ottoman Khaif will sent Second Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) to the coast of Acre Union.

--Benzantium Network News; Trish Jeharra reporting --

"It's absolute ACRIMONY here in the Lower Chamber of the Praetorium tonight, as Praetors debate over the entry of the nation into the Ottoman Alliance's war with the Acre Union. With Praetor Primus Uliesca leading the Green Party firmly away from engagement, and the Benzantium People's Party split, it has come to Nosse Varucala, the chair of the L.C. Defense Committee, to make the case to the Goch Rhan and Statist parties -- and to hold her own party together!"

"Biran, she's about to address the Chamber now, we're going to go live now to Praetor Nosse Varucala, speaking now on the eve of war--"

"In Ben's name, Most Wise:

"I have no love of war.

"I am too young to have fought alongside Ben to found these great States, but I am not so old, and every day I realize just how fragile our experiment in true Democracy is, and how short a time it has run. It is by the sufferance of larger, more well-armed nations that Benzantium exists. It is with the blessing of allies like Credonia and Thrace that we may pursue our own way. As such, we have a responsibility to them, and to the world:

"First, to show our allies, those to whom we are bound by treaties signed in the name of the Most Wise, that we are grateful! That we are their equals perhaps not in might but in duty, and in honor, and in responsibility!

"Second, we must show our gratitude to the world by ridding it of a nation that seeks to destroy those that shelter us, and those that shelter others. We must cut off small cancers, or they will consume the body, and we will be lost.

"We will fight not for ourselves nor by ourselves, but for our allies and with our allies, that one day it may be Benzantium's standard that waves as the vanguard of democracy, freedom, and independence. It is our duty as signatories of the Ottoman Charter, and it is our responsibility as citizens of the world that we join with Credonia, and Thrace, and those others that we support as they support us.

"Praetors, I have no love of war. But it is to war we must -- we MUST -- go.

"In the name of Ben, the Most Wise."

"A stirring speech there from Praetor Nosse Varucala, trying to tie together enough of a coalition to fulfill the nation's obligations and declare war on the Acre Union. She was the last speaker this evening... and the votes are already coming in.... strong support from the Statists, and it looks like the B.P.P. is swaying her way, it's a 47-24 split from the B.P.P. so far... we have our first defector from the Green Party, Iyndia Likaje...

"Biran, it looks like this is all going to come down to the Gogh Rhan party, which as you know, almost always votes as a bloc, and they are taking their time deliberating on the Praetorium floor as the rest of the votes come in.

"Wait... we've... just received word, the Gogh Rhan vote has gone as a bloc, as expected, and they are voting for war, this is an historic occasion, and you can hear the protests and the arguments erupting behind me, this is Trisha Jeharra in the Praetorium L.C. where Benzantium has just voted to go to war....

Press release, Armed Forces Command, Shears College, 2200 hours
Today, the Republican Army and Republican Navy mobilised our forces in preparation for armed conflict in Acre Union. They are comprised of various divisions of the Labyrinth District Army, totalling:

105,000 infantrymen
800 Cavalier Heavy Tanks
750 M1A1 Abrams tanks
500 M-15 light tanks
275 A-T TOWs
100 A-T APCs
24 Thrace Aerospace Army-owned helicopters, equipped for rescue work

as well as naval transports, light aircraft carriers and armed escorts from the Labyrinnas 1st and 7th Fleets. As yet, we are sending no air support other than rescue helicopters. We plan to co-operate with allied air support while preparing for any incursion. We also have aircraft carriers and support ready for any RAF units we choose to send.

They shall leave at 0600 hours tomorrow. God speed our troops.

The F/A-18 were getting ready to take off from their Nimitz carriers. Eight of these nimble fighters will continue to monitor the skies and defend the airspace around the Khadisiya Fleet.

http://www.highgallery.com/Carrier-f-18-007.jpg

The fleet was now on high alert, and the possibility of a surprise enemy air assault was calculated and carefully taken into account. The GMB Navy was prepared to encounter any threats before reaching Acre Union's coast and beginning the offensive campaign.

Two-hundred kilometers ahead, four Ohio-class nuclear submarines, the DSV Ohio, DSV Dominique, DSV Eisenhower, and DSV Byrnashty II were quietly creeping along, until the commander of the DSV Ohio received the following order from Admiral Estral:


GMB Navy Command
Encrypted

ATTN: Admiral Neitsvy
FR: Admiral Estral

Stage is set; you are to arm your conventionally-tipped ballistic missiles and launch them at the following installations:

A: Suspected underground complex, coordinates transmitted to guidance officers | Priority: High
B: Air force bases, intel. from recon. satellite A-R1, coordinates transmitted to guidance officers | Priority: Extremely High
C: Oil refineries, intel. from recon. satellite A-R1, coordinates transmitted to guidance officers | Priority: Medium
D: Coastal Defenses, intel. from Credonian Navy, make contact with Credonian Navy for coordinates. | Priority: Extremely High

God Speed..


Admiral Neitsvy immediately called his telecommunications officers and demanded that contact be established with the Credonian Navy. When the air waves were established, the commander himself called to his allies:


Credonian Navy, this is Admiral Neitsvy of the GMB Navy, commandeering an Ohio class. We are the vanguard to the GMB fleets, and would like that you transmit to us coastal defense coordinates in order to assist you in your preliminary strikes.

That said, he waited for the reply. The subs surfaced, and their missile pods started to swing open, revealing the armed warheads within...

Very OOC: Lol, i saw operation Allied defense and though 'haven't i seen that before' Then i remembererd :P

IC:

War Room

This takes place just as a meeting of Celtayoshi's war cabinet about a different combat is breaking up, an aide stroms in.

"Ministers, i think you had better return to your seats, sir...I...Flash traffic from ICNV-Canada"

"Thank you, he scans the message..."Jesus, ok, Credonia has gone to war, can we assist general. he turns to the aide Get me General Gorth now please."

General arrives

"Begin quickly general," urged the Minister of intelligence

"Well sir the Canada battlegroup is approaching station outside the AU, it is fully war ready, i can ready more for the end of the week...We need your permission to attack sir."

"Alright," replied the Premier, " Emergancy parliament meeting is to be declared for 2100hours tonight, otherwise you may attack under the Action First Act. Its in your hands.

"Admiral required in signals asap," boomed the ships intercom system

"What is it captain," asked Admiral Pelt.

"Admiral we are at war, our targets are coming through soon, Credonia began a short time ago."

OOC: Will post declaration of war in other topic

<Somewhere in the North Atlantic, Task Force 12>

Admiral Tomkins stood on the left wing of the bridge of the Periocles Class Carrier IHS Fearsome as yet another flight of F-22S Sea Raptors rocketed off the catapults to replace the current BARCAP patrol.

The carrier was at peak capacity, with 212 aircraft currently aboard her massive bulk as she carved through the waves at 29knots.

Accompanying the carrier was another Periocles, Fearless a single Cassandra Stealth Carrier Naples and five Nimitz Class Carriers, Striker, Strider, Inevitable, Guardian and Fromtac.

There was nearly a thousand aircraft on those eight decks, more aircraft than quite a few AirForces posessed.

The escort was unusually heavy, 12 Ticonderoga Class Cruiser, 15 Spruance Class Destroyers, 15 Kidd Class Destroyers, 17 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, 14 Type 45 Destroyers and 21 Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates.

This was enhanced by four Los Angeles Class 688 SSN's sweeping the waters infront of the Battle Group and a further four heading to join up with it.


Whilst there had been no official decleration of war, forces are being positioned to help out our OA allies incase they need it. Currently no ground forces have been deployed.


OOC: My naval forces were all moved out from port when the McLeod civil war began, originally to head on up there, but currently as we are using smaller forces they will divert to the Med. They will not have that far to go back into the North Atlantic if they are needed.

Celtayoshi Deployment

NB/OOC: Ground forces were put on alert due to the threats recieved, Navy units were put on alert due to Congo conflict (Yoshi Battlegroup) and replacement of carriers in Earth II territories which had been called to the Congo (Serena Battlegroup).

CNS Alexander Bridge

"Sir, transmission coming in from a GMB Ohio Class sub" said the communications officer, handing him a paper with the message on it.

Admiral Breznev was standing on the bridge of the Credonian naval flagship sipping a cup of coffee while looking out to the sea monitoring the Credonian fleets.

"Very well, thank you. Send this reply along with the target coordinates. Give it max encryption.

Admiral Neitsvy, thank you for your speedy response and backup naval support for this mounted and highly coordinated attack upon Acre Union. The target coordinates are being transmitted to your fleets at this moment. Please take note that there seems to have been no response from the nation of Acre Union, but we will proceed with the invasion in 3 hours. The Credonian Western Army has not arrived yet but we still have two infantry divisions amounting to 150,000 men thta will go out. How many men is your army deploying?"

The officer rushed back to the communications room to relay the message to the GMB Admiral.

The Admiral received the message and sent it to Admiral Estral now only 50 km behind him.

Estral looked at the message, then sent the submarine commander a response to the Credonian inquiry. The message was immediately relayed to CNS Alexander over the previous airwave:


The current number of battle-ready men is 94,100. Another 12,000 support and logistics officers, making the number of troops that can land at the moment 106,100. The 3rd "Hammerhead" Division, another 120,000 troops, may be able to mobilize and its units paradrop on AU soil. We need to establish a secure beachhead first.

With the Credonian coordinates in-hand, the submarine commander ordered another pair of ballistic missiles to be armed. Seconds later, two silo doors opened, and the force of the missile launch shook the submarine.

RNN Cypriot (1st Labyrinnas Fleet), at sea

"Comms Officer Marley, I want you in my office." Admiral Hessayon watched a screen showing activity above the water until his officer arrived. Marley was a good man, the son of immigrants, and patriotic, though like most naval officers at the moment he had never seen actual combat.

"Hello, Officer. I have some work for you."

"Yes, sir. May I say what an honour it is to have you aboard?"

"Thank you. Now, please ask the Credonian Navy for all relevant co-ordinates to our mission. Make sure you tell them about our current situation in relation to air power - that means you'll have to encrypt it. That's it."

(Encrypted) To the Credonian Navy
From Admiral Hessayon of the Thrace-Tailteann Republican Navy, aboard the nuclear submarine Cypriot. We request co-ordinates of any Acre Union coastal installations you would like us to neutralise in preparation for a ground war. For your information, only sea power is available to us at this time. We expect to have bombers arriving in three days' time.

Reason: Waiting For AU To respond, he has been TG'ed

OOC: Hmmmm. Im off on holiday for a week starting saturday so it looks like im gonna miss out on the annexing. Oh well, sure there will be more.

All Union Military and Paramilitaries have been ordered to lay down their arms and let enemy forces enter.

Acre Union does not wish to suffer casualties.

As the last missiles left the submarine's silos, the Admiral received a message from his comm officer.

"Sir.. Acre Union ordering its military to lay down their arms, discouraging paramilitaries as well sir.."

"What??.." The Admiral gasped, and immediately made contact with Admiral Estral

"Admiral Estral, we have a ---"

"I heard about it, Admiral.. it's time for us to go in. You lay low, might be an ambush or something of the sort."

And with that, the DBS Stalin carved the water at its maximum speed, stopping 8 kilometers from the AU coast.

Immediately, Navy airplanes scrambled off their carriers and scanned for any possible threats. They will penetrate AU's airspace. If the AU message was sincere, ground operations could begin. If the AU message was false... well... then may they rest in peace.

Meanwhile, D-11 Apocalypse engines roared to life.. They were heard on the many transports surrounding the fleets. After the air mission is complete, it would only be five minutes before they would start securing their first beachhead.

Admiral Estral looked at the Credonian fleet some miles away.. Their ships lay motionless..

"Hmm.." he muttered, ".. guess they haven't got the message yet.." And with that he went onto the deck of his battleship to see the first F-14Ds arrive over the Acre Union's coastline.

The CNS Alexander sends an axknowledgement of the GMB Navy's message.

CNS Alexander Bridge

Sir, Acre Union has sent a message that they are laying down arms. What do you make of it?" Says a command room senior officer

"Hmm, very suspicious, hes probably planning something, but nonetheless, proceed with the invasion. The allies can take anything a inferior nation such as Acre Union can dish out. Signal our allies to proceed as well. Also send the order to begin the invasion and to launch our birds and strike the pre-determined targets"

"Yes sir!"

The comms officer rushes to relay the message to allied forces and give the orders to the Credonian carriers.

15 Minutes Later

40 Credonian F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft take off from the deck of CNS Zavier, half break off and head towards the coastline to begin assaulting any enemy forces protecting the beach while the other turn towards the coast to hit strategic inland targets just as the Credonian 92nd Army Infantry Division man their amphibious assault vehicles to begin the short trek to the coastline to establish a beachhead.


Credonian Presidential Palace

Secetary of Defense Mitchell Ferguson phones the president from Credonian War Headquarters using the HOTLINE.

"Mr. President, the invasion is underway as planned and sceduled. Our Western Army is but a few hours out from our position. We have sent a message to the allies to begin with their invasion as well."

"Good. Thank you Secretary Ferguson. Keep me updated."

The phone goes dead.

"Sir, AU has agreed to lay down arms and let our armies in."

"WHAT, ok, fine, if this is genuine then our allies should be doing, ah yes, they are. Begin unrestricted air attacks over the AUs coastal defense. If he is true to his word then they willl be empty, and allow the ground troops to commence assault, but warn them to be careful not to fire first."

"Yes sir."

War Room

"AU has declared his intentions to lay down his arms, sir, our units are currently removing the last opposition to a ground attack, just in case they are leading us into a trap."

"That is good, can we afford to pull any carriers out of there?"

"Not yet, but we should increase our ground commitments to ensure that the AU will lay down its arms."

"Fine, show me hte plans once you have them."

Navy pilot O'Reilly was sick of the empty expanse that lay ahead of him..

"There isn't anything here.. no AA, no visible troops.. Instruments aren't picking up anything.. How 'bout you guys?"

The other pilots all acknowledged him and supported his claim.

"Very well.." the carrier's commander remarked, "head back to the Warrior.. F-22s and F-16s will replace you and continue to patrol the skies."

"Admiral Estral, as awesome as your boys are.. it's up to us to do the rest.. thanks for the ride though.." General Arraf grinned..

Admiral Estral looked up..

"You take care of our boys now General.. Bring 'em back"

The General's grin disappeared and was replaced by a very serious, even grim face..

"Will do, Admiral."

The troop transports and amphibious crafts stormed at the beach, with F-22s and F-16s above them..

As soon as they passed the threshold of the Acre Union's beach, their hydraulic doors started opening. The D-11s stormed out and established a perimeter over the area.

The General looked very pleased as he watched the allied ground invasion get underway..

"It just doeesn't seem right , norally we would be blasting his defenses to hell by now, but we don't have anything to fight."

"Thats true," replied the gunner.

"Exactly where are we going?"

"Towards the port, we are going to sieze the AU port to disrupt any Navy operationsa if he tries to pull any."

CSN-Celtayoshi State News

The war witht he Acre Union today took one step closer to ending after the AU layed down its arms. Currently ground forces are proceeding unhindered towards their objectives, whilst the Air Force and Navy establish their presence over the skies. Reports indicate that there will be no downscaling of forces in the area by any of the allied forces yet, however, and offensive opertations are still taking place agaisnt any anti-air and coastal defense targets. Our sources indicate that loses have been almost zero.

<Task Force 12, 40 Miles West of the Straights of Gibralter>

Admiral Tomkinson was in his study when the message arrived at the ships massive communication centre. Within three minutes it was on his desk.
He scanned the thin warm page quickly.

"Very well. Inform the Captains of all ships of this development, no doubt we will be getting new orders soon."

As he was saying that these new orders were recieved in the comm room and brought down to the Admirals study, this messenger nearly knocking the other off his feet as he exited the room.

He saluted and handed the message to the Admiral.

To: CMMDR TSK FRCE 12
From: SCLANT CMMDR
Message: PROCEED TO SE COAST MCLEOD WITH ALL POSSIBLE SPEED. MORE ORDERS TO FOLLOW. END.

The Admiral looked back up from the message and stood up, removing his reading glasses.

"Thank you Seaman"

He put on his long thick coat and headed for the CIC, and then to the bridge.

As he walked on an officer, the XO of the Fearsome called

"Tention on Deck."

This caused all the men to immeadiately come to attention no matter what they were doing, their uniforms neatly pressed as the Admiral liked.
Admiral Tomkins gave a wave of his hand and they returned to their tasks.

"Number One, signal the fleet Course change to 300 execute at 0930." It was currently 0928.

Two minutes later the fleet began to change its bearings, two frigates that had been on outer picket and were preparing to go through the straights turned about and sped at full power back towards the fleet to establish themselves.

The Carriers had been in a column formation as they approached the straights but now they went into a box, spreading 4kmx4km with escorts intermingled with them and also outside them. The LA attack subs were sprinting to catch up with the group as they had been in the Med when the call came.

RNN Maltese

Admiral Hessayon read the message that his comms officer had typed out only minutes ago. He contacted Commander Rack of the Labyrinth Army on the transport ship Trebleclef Titan.

"Commander, have you received the transmission on Acre Union yet?"

"No, Admiral. What is it?"

"Their military is laying down arms. We expect to meet no resistance from armed forces in Acre Union. It's been acted upon by at least three of our allies."

The Commander thought for a while. "So we have carte blanche to enter? I hope this is no trap... Either way, I need permission from home to move onto land, so I'll contact the chiefs of staff. Thank you, Admiral." The signal from the Trebleclef Titan ceased. Admiral Hessayon activated the ship's PA to broadcast the news, as well as to tell his other ships to continue attacking coastal targets, while Commander Rack called up Labyrinnas Navy Base many miles away.


Cabinet meeting: Shears House in Grandnexus City, 1300 hours

The Government's second war meeting took an unusual turn when the Prime Minister read out the Acre Union transmission to Cabinet. After four long, hot hours in the Cabinet Room discussing the possibilities, they voted to begin the ground invasion. Commander Rack was contacted immediately, and after a few minutes the Tripleclef transport ships edged nearer to the coast of Acre Union.

The meeting had almost been adjourned when a Foreign Office secretary gave all Ministers at the table a message from the Celtayoshi diplomatic mission.

"They want to begin negotiations?" asked the PM, but the secretary had left. "Presumably, they do. But we won't be able to think straight if we stay pent-up in here for much longer. Let's meet again at ten o'clock. That's plenty of time to get fed and watered."

OOC note: When I say negotiations what i really mean is the terms of AU defeat, kind of like a Versailles Treaty.

IC: ICNV-Canda

"Sir we have no indication that AU is resisting our air raids, may I suggest we give some of the younger men a chance to practice war like situations, it would be a good learning experience, and it can't be too bad to give the senior officers a little more rest, of course, they will always be on hand."

"Yes, i think it is, perhaps we can simulate an air attack on our ship, get one of the other carriers, blue weapons only though, and no actual firing, just let the men set up solutions. Notify our carriers.

ICNV-Yoshi

"Admiral, the Canada wants to run simulated attack drills to test out the younger crew members. They are currently awaiting response from Navy Command as to whether they have permission, we are to play the role of aggressor."

"What an excellent idea, Navy Command will aprove it, so we might as well prepare ourselves. Whoever came up with that will get a nice pat on the shoulder, and it can't hurt his advancement prospects, lucky *******."

OOC: Only certain ships will be used for this practice, the rest will continue monitering the AU

Acre Union Territorial Waters, Off The AU Coast

As the 92nd Army Infantry Division close in on the coast, they spot Celtayoshian invasion forces alreadyy massing on the beach with no resistance. Off in the distance behind them, Allied forces continues to fire upon coastal defenses and up in the Air Credonian F-15E's flew by providing air cover and recon. information on any enemy troops, but none could be seen.

Moments later, Credonian forces reach the coast and meet with allied forces already establishing a beachhead. John Densmore, General of the Credonian Armed Forces for the AU battle theatre flies in aboard a EA-26G Transport helicopter and dismounts the craft to set off in search for the commanding officer of the Celtayoshian ground forces to coordinate ground efforts.

Credonian Presidential Palace Breakfast Room

It was morning in the beautiful city of Credonia City, the nations capital. The President sat at the table with his wife, Empress Fate of IIsidua reading the newspaper and enjoying a wonderful Credonian breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, pancakes, orange juice, and a delectable Credonian pastry that oozed with strawberry filling.

Alexander carefully picked up his pastry and bit into it savoring the sweet taste, placed it back down on the dish and continued reading the headlines in the paper. He then looked up at his aid.

"I suppose we can try to negotiate with these goones. I wonder who they take us for. Fools? Shows just how cowardly they are. They have the nerve to plan attacks upon us, but are scared to fight when we bring the war to them first. Bunch of uncivilized hypocrits. Melany, send a message to the AU government that the allies would like to begin negotiations. Also, get General Ferguson on the phone."

"Yes Mr. President" she responded as she rushed to bring Alexander the phone then to relay the message to the AU government.

Alexander took another bite of his pastry then grabbed the reciever of the phone. General Ferguson was holding on the other end.

"Secretary Ferguson, I have decided to open negotiations with the AU government, but your orders are to continue with the assault. Pound the hell out of thier military installations. They arent getting away with planning attacks on us. Strike them with cruise missiles and precision air strikes. Continue hitting key government facilities, oil refineries, plants, and power plants as well. I dont want our forces falling into a trap if the AU government isnt sincere about their surrender."

"Understood sir, I wont let you down!"

"Oh and one other thing. Send a message to the allies of what our plan is."

"Yessir! Right Away!"

The phone went silent.

Empress Fate looked at Alexander, with a look f concern on her face.

"Alex, dont you think your continued offensive against them will force them out of wanting to negotiate?"

"No. They have no choice, and besides, they just automatically just throw down their arms and surrender without putting up a fight? They are planning something, and i have no doubt about it. Dont forget that in their leaders speech, he was talking about fighting us."

"Then why bother negotiating?"

"Were going to negotiate to see what kind of bull shit they say. The war isnt over, it has just begun, and im damn sure they plan on attacking. Afterall, it was their plan in the first place. We just brought the fight to them first"

Acre Union Territorial Waters

Credonian naval forces recieve the order from Secretary of Defense Ferguson to continue offensive attacks on key enemy high priority targets. 4 Credonian Meteora Class Guided Missile Cruisers were ordered to launch cruise missile attacks upon more targets in Acre Union. They were to inflict maximum damage on AU to knock out power and facilities to run their military (Oil Refineries, Power plants), and soon, they would begin targeting military facilities suspected of housing their recently procured nuclear arms.

15 minutes after recieving the order, all four missile cruisers launched 20 cruise missiles each in perfect unison, one after another, to their targets.


Skies Over Acre Union, Capital City

The fighter wing of 20 F-15E Strike Eagles launched from carrier earlier were now approaching the capital city. Their target: Key government and military buildings. The break off into smaller groups of five and head towards their respective targets, keeping vigil of any retaliation from enemy forces. They then engage their targets with Air-to-Surface missiles.

<Air Space approaching Acre Union Capital>

While the naval task force had turned to face a threat that wasnt currently being dealt with the air units designated for a first strike had carried on.

After refueling from orbiting KC-130 and KC-135 Tankers off the coast of France the aircraft had continued on.

Now the lead craft, an F-117 of the 22nd "Black Rooks" Squadron was within striking distance of the city.
This aircraft had a special target, the Acre Union Presidential palace.

Flying at 35,000 feet the aircraft began its attack run.

As the computer bleeped in the pilots headset he opened the bomb bay doors and released his two weapons, both GBU-10 2000lb laser guided bombs.

The aircraft flying on autopilot the pilot focused his attention on the tv monitor that was linked to the carbon-dioxide laser in the front portion of his nosecone and placed the dot firmly in the middle of the building that filled the screen.


Five minutes later a combined force of B-2's and F-117's hit military barracks and airfields, both civilian and military around the capital with a combination of smart bombs and cluster munitions.

"General... General..." a soldier rushed into General Arraf's tent, panting.

"General, our allies have started bombing cities.. they're continuing with the offensive.."

"And what are their munitions?"

"I dunno sir.. cruise missiles, laser bombs, precision things sir.."

"Crap.. we know these precision-guided munitions are bull.. all they do is cause civilian casualties.. notify the Admiral at sea.. We will continue with the invasion like men.. using ground forces..."

"Yessir.." The soldier wanted to exit the tent, but the General gave him another order:

"One more thing.. where's the PA system?"

"In the adminstration tent a few meters away.."

<A few minutes later, the General's sound was heard blaring over the PA system>

"Men.. you will be driving and walking through civilian-infested areas. Do not shoot unless you are shot at. Do not wound a woman. Do not dare touch a woman. Do not wound a child. Do not engage elderly people. Fight those who attack you, and the number of attackers, according to the Acre Union, is nil.."

He continued giving the attentive soldiers some advice..

After he was notified of the allied bombing raids, the Admiral's face turned red with anger and frustration but alas, what could he do?



Encyption Level: High

ATTN: Allied Forces
FROM: Admiral Estral, GMB Navy

The GMB Military hereby voices it concerns over the use of precision-guided technology that will most probably cause an unnecessary human catastrophe.

Also, destroying the country's infastructure? And for what? To leave the populace without access to basic necessities? I urge you to reconsider. You will cause unnecessary plagues and humanitarian crises.

And.. let's not forget.. you will end up rebuilding such infastructure. It will be your duty. And frankly, Greenmanbry fails to see the wisdom in paying such huge sums to rebuild the civilian infastructure when it can so easily be preseved by a land-based occupation of Acre Union.

Reconsider.. Heed this warning, or you may not withstand the burden of rebuilding this huge nation.

Admiral Frank Estral
Greenmanbry Naval Command

-on behalf of-

Greenmanbry Military Command.

Upon recieving the transmission from GNC, President Sutton quickly replied.

TO:Admiral Frank Estral, Greenmanbry Naval Command
FROM: President Alexander Sutton, Credonian Presidential Palace

Your voiced concerns have been taken into consideration, but be aware that Credonia has been invading nations since before the founding of your nation. Our use of precision guided munitions are using on a limited basis, away from cities, attacking targets that support Acre Union's military. And we are hitting buildings that we KNOW belong to the government as to avert causing civilian casualties. Also note that we dont know where the enemy is, we dont even know if their true intention is to even surrender. Dont forget that their leader spoke of fighting to the death should we invade, and we invaded. They are up to something and Credonia will not stop attacking targets of importance just because they SAY they surrender. We will continue to limit and destroy their offensive and defensive war making capabilities until we are sure that we can either negotiate or kill them.

As for the civilians, Acre Union is but a hiccup compared to the support Credonia was in the process of delivering to Africa. And as I said about invading nations, we have done this many times, and have rebuilt them many times, so dont lecture us on nation building. I would not have given the order to continue strikes if i werent sue we could rebuild this nation. Thank you for your concerns though.

Credonian precision guided attacks will continue until we hear word from the Acre Union government and our forces will move slowly towards their city unless they come out of hiding first. We are not eager to rush into a trap and die, and it is my duty to see to it that allied forces dont fall into one. Remember that Acre Union is sneaky. We dont quite know what his intentions are, but we will soon find out, either by force, or by their own will.

Sincerely,

Alexander Nicolas Sutton
President of the United States of Credonia

News Broadcast from AUN:

It has been utter chaos in the Capital city of Acre! Civilians have been stockpiling needed supplies, hotels are being used as compounds for civilians or paramilitaries, we do not know. There are checkpoints by the Police, and most of the military is nowhere to be found........

I have just been notified that the government compound has been abandoned, more info coming soon.

This is Aishya from AUN.

(( Btw guys, i've been VERY busy lately, so my RPing is gonna be brief and such, but go ahead and keep going. ))

OOC: Couldnt you at least start RPin some negotiations instead of these friggin reports.....the RP would end faster and we wouldnt be here bombin your nation to hell, cuz if we keep goin, we'll have you completely taken over in no time.

REPORT:
40,000 Thracian soldiers are currently on the ground. They are securing the areas around major cities. There have been no significant incidents or troop losses as yet, and a small number of non-combat injuries. Duties include maintaining the supply lines for allies and ourselves and some minor peacekeeping.

Bump.

Celtayoshi ministers are currently preparing there terms of The Acre Union's total surrender.

OOC: AU, If you cant rp then find someone who will RP for you in your behalf. It aint fair that EVERYONE has to tie up their forces in this RP just cuz u either 1) refuse to, or 2) dont have time to (btw, you should be rping anyway seeing how your the one who started it in the first place) Shouldnt start stuff on NS unless you have the time to devote to any RP's that come out of it.

CSN

"Good afternoon. Around lunchtime today it was confirmed that behind me in the War Cabinet the leaders of Celtayoshi were meeting to draft a treaty which would spell the end of the war in the Acre Union, and her total surrender. In a written statement earlier we were informed that the treaty would go through 3 stages, the draft in Celtayoshi, then proposed to the Ottoman Alliance for changing and finally it would be submitted to the Ottoman Alliance to be voted on. I can tell you that this treaty is expected to reform the Acre Union in major ways, from its military, to compensation to the allies. The only other alternative for the Acre Union would be crushing defeat at the hands of overwhelming allied forces.

This is Stan Goodman reporting from Celtayoshi House for CSN, back to the studio."

OOC AU i dunno if this is a new tactic your trying to pull, maybe like celtayoshi said, "boring us to death" but its not gonna work, not on Credonia at least. Nice try though.

Coast of Acre Union, Credonian Temporary Command and COntrol Center

Orders had just arrived from War Headquarters back in CC, if the governement of Acre Union didnt want to cooperate, then Credonian forces would sit there until they did.

"Sir, supplies are being flown in from Credonia to assist us in building the base. says a Lt. General to the CO

"Very well. Make sure we get the rest of our supplies from cities in AU. Were gonna show these people that we mean business and were prepared to wait it out."

The general looked out of his tent to the ocean. It brillantly shimmered in the evening sunlight as the breeze created small waves and ripples tnhe water. Suddenly, another thought came to the Generals mind. He turned and looked toward a colonel.

[i]"Colonel, assemble a special ops team from the 92nd and send them into the capital city to recover any and all government officials. Bring them back here, ALIVE. Keep all casualties to a minimum."

"Roger sir, consider it already done."

The general turned back to the water and began pondering

[b]Two Hours Later[b]
Six Blackhawk helicopters sat on the landing strip waiting for the special forces from the 92nd Army Infantry Division to board. Not long after, 36 special forces troops boarded the helicopters and tok to the skies. They gained altitude and turned towards te capital city of Acre Union. Still, there had been no sight of enemy military positions.

OOC: Could someone advance into a city (check the old AU map from the old thread for the list of cities and a map of the nation)

OOC: have you a link to old thread, I have lost it :( also, are you looking for an infantry/special forces/large scale advance into a city.

"Sir they are aware of that, the comunique here says we will be getting one of the new deicated anti-sub groups soon."

"And until then?"

"We are on our own with the Canada."

"Where we given a reason?"

"Yes sir, Navy Command wants to overhaul Yoshi in-case the situation in Dr_Twist warrants it. That and we don't need the air platforms anymore. Air Force is taking over on land."

"Ok, I can live with that, get intel this and I want a full breif at 0800hours. Dismissed."

Bump Again

Union Air Force Base, Acre Union

A squadron of CY-B1 took off at approximately noon on the afternoon of Premier Némeths speech. After around 20mins flight time each split up, with individual targets assigned to each. The primary objective was the capital, with parliament and government offices to be utterly destroyed. At about 12.30 flight leader reported visual on target;

"Approaching, bomb bay open!"

"bay open, weapons ready"

"loose!"

"weapons free"

several hundred cluster munitions fell around the Acre Unions parliament, riaing it to the ground.

Then would follow the largest mobilasation of all Ottoman Alliance troops, with the storming of the capital, over 1million troops would ramapge throught the city. Any resistance would be destroyed.

CNV - Gondred

"Captain, orders from admiralty to open fire."

"Targets?"

"These miltary bases," replied the communications officer on duty, as he pinned up the target map.

"Right, battlestations, weapons masters, to your quarters, fix co-ordinates as follows, fire at will."

The Gondred had several long range guns on its superstructure, each deleivering fatal blows to know military bases of the Acre Union.


Port Alliance

The Alliance troops slowly made there way onto the beach, every divison would have a position to take, or defend, no-one would be left out. The Ottoman troops would provide the defence and holding positions, witht hte various nations doing most of the attack.

Official Union Statement:

OA soldiers were allowed to occupy the Union WITHOUT resistance. The Union has operated normally until now. Destroying our government will do nothing. How can you destroy what the people of the Union want?

Halt your attacks, and you will continue to not face resistance. For the good of both sides. If you wish to have control of the Union's ports, by all means go for it.

However, the meaning behind your occupation is absurd. By doing this, you push us to the edge.

*waiting for OA president to decide*

"Sir, Mr Pentephraxis (PM of Sanctaphrax)"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Sir, Acre Union has been attacked by the Ottoman Alliance."
"That bunch of cowards, they wouldn't go near Acre Union alone. They gang up on him 5 to 1 for no reason other than Imperialism. They are taking advantage of their good nature. Send him a message, inform him that I will call the JDA to help."

"Yes sir."

*secret telegram to Acre Union*

Announce the total and unconditional surrender of your government and tell us where your military is hiding and then and only then will we cease attacks as we will have no other reason to attack you. Continue to be defiant and you will be destroy along with your allies.

OOC: Sanctaphrax, im a 2 billion+ pop nation, you dont really think you can survive an invasion from Credonia do you? If you know whats best for your nation, you'd keep your nose out of business thats not yours. Just a friendly warning.

The three galaxy C5's flew in a spearhead formation, and came down low over the capital city of Acre Union. Some crew flung open the back door, and piled out bails of pamphlets. They read,

People of Acre Union!

Your sovereign nation has been attacked, vviciously by a group that none have challenged, the Ottoman Alliance. Few have come to your aid, and even less have delivered soldiers and aid. That time is over. We have seen your pledge, your fight against Imperialism, and your call has not gone unanswered. For too long the Ottoman Alliance has attacked an innocent sovereign nation.
That time is over.
For we shall challenge them, we shall assist Acre Union in its time of need. Soon, you shall see Hogsweatian troops and tanks marching through your cities to fight the warmongering fascists, our planes shall bear down over your raped towns to punish the invading fascists.
Until we arrive, DO NOT SURRENDER. Keep fighting comrades, and justice shall be yours.

As the letters were delivered, the 10th-20th Soviet Navies were mobilised in response as well as four great Soviet Army Corps.


OOC- can someone send me a basic summary of the situation?

OOC: Ottoman Alliance forces are pulling back due to the impeding nuclear strike on the Acre Union :)

Troops are withdrawing to various other nations, Naval vessels surround the nearby waters, air strikes occur daily.

Citizens are atttacking retreating forces to little or no effect.

will post more later...

OOC- Don't even try it. You'll be dead in a second Celtayoshi, and thats a promise.

OOC: Hes not leading the nuclear strike, CREDONIA IS, and if you try to interfere, then you will be dead, i guarantee that.

OOC: Okay, where the hell is this all happening, in this thread or the TGS thread?

OOC- Don't even try it. You'll be dead in a second Celtayoshi, and thats a promise.

True, but so would you, in a case of you nuke us, we nuke you, brings back the MAD thing again

AU i aint sure, but i think we are now helping TGS in the other thread

My unique Anti-Nuclear system woould be able to shoot down many more than you think, but it would plunge Hogsweat from a sunny lushy weather paradise into a nuclear winter, which would kill many more than the nukes.

As would my multi-layered ABM/SDI defenses.

OOC: Basic summary, it actually started with the first AU-OA war. AU out of random invaded a couple of our allies, simultaneously. We invaded back, then left after he surrendered. We didnt have contact or relations with him for quite some time. Then a couple months later, he comes back, talking about how he would get revenge and gain back territory that was rightfully his (the jews). Little action ensued, so we took no action. Then we uncovered a plan that he was planning and was close to executing an invasion of those same allies that he invaded the first time, but this time, we prevented it by invading him instead. And here we are, fighting the war that he started. He states h es innocent, like hell he is. He was planning stuff, we got definitive confirmation from trusted sources that he was, and we also got proof that he was trying to obtain WMD's to use against us, so we took action first to prevent innocent loss of life from his crazy fanatic government.

Cred, you'd never use nukes would you???:rolleyes:

Credonia you are crazy. If you nuke him then you can consider me an ally and OA member no longer.

Cred, you'd never use nukes would you???:rolleyes:

try me!

Ah Credonia, always the red-button-happy fool....


OOC- Thanks for the summary.

Oooooo, nuke threats. This could get ugly.
*Sits back and munches popcorn. Then stops and realises he would be in the blast radius* Uh oh, TAXI!

Oooooo, nuke threats. This could get ugly.
*Sits back and munches popcorn. Then stops and realises he would be in the blast radius* Uh oh, TAXI!

wtf?

IC: Instead of nukes can't we just mass carpetr bomb his nation, it would be as effective, and lets face it, certainly I, and probably Credonia have lots of munitions waiting to be used

try me!
I was being sarcastic. I know you threaten to use nukes every time someone sends a tourist to your nation.

OOC: Celtayoshi-That too is a viable option, i'll telegram you something soon about that.

Credonian News Network 10/16/2004 3:30 pm CST

We are getting officially confirmed reports that a 25 megaton thermonuclear warhead tipped ICBM was launched and detonated over a small island in the Pacific Ocean by a Credonian SSBN authorized by Credonian Strategic Command and the President of the United States of Credonia. This unscheduled launch was in fact directed at the nation of Acre Union in response for its unwillingness to sign a peace treaty to bring an end to all hostilities in the region. It is stated that should Acre Union fail to heed the strong warning sent by the Credonian government by this nuclear detonation, serious repurcussions will indeed result. We are not quite sure what that means at this time, but the possibility of the use of nuclear and thermonuclear weapons is definitly not out of the question. Stay tuned for updates on this story.

OOC note: We have troops stationed close to the shore in one part of his country, as well as naval vessels offshore. Air Force has forces in the same area.

Celtayoshi is currently talking (not negotiating) with Sanctaphrax about acceptable outcomes with to the war.

Will check tg soon and discuss options based on the telegram.

OOC: You guys seem to have the situation under control. Would you like more OA members to interfere, or are you all set?

Hmm, well this was an OA action, so you can assit if you want, we will notify you with enough time to move troops out of operational area if soemthing is decided.
