It started out just like any other day. The cocks crowed at the crack of dawn, the men went out to plow the fields, the children laughed and chased each other, and the women began doing housework. It was a calm, poor, peaceful rural village on the outskirts of the jungle. The people were virtually isolated from the rest of the nation, and even the government was unaware of their very existence.
That day everything changed. One of the women was quietly folding clothes when she suddenly heard a shrill, ear-splitting scream outside. She went outside and saw her husband tied to a tree with crude bamboo rope. Next to him lay the body of her ten-year-old son, who had been disemboweled, decapitated, castrated, and had his throat slit. Her eyes glittered with tears and she dropped to her knees, weeping.
"Shut up and get on your feet, you drowsy b****!" bellowed a voice behind her.
She slowly turned her head and saw a peasant wearing crude, tattered, muddy clothes and wielding a bayonet.
"Your husband refused to join us in our struggle," the peasant said softly. "We had to educate him."
The woman sobbed and began hammering the peasant with a barrage of slaps, but he was oblivious to the blows.
He smashed the bayonet into her forehead, knocking her to the ground and spilling blood everywhere. Then, he slit her throat open and kicked her until she died.
Moments later, ten more guerrillas disguised as peasants had herded the entire village over to the dead mother and child, and showed them what happened to those who defied them.
"They refused to join our heroic and just struggle to liberate this nation from President J.L.," the lead guerrilla shouted. "Unless the rest of you want the same to happen to your families, grab a rifle and join us!"
Needless to say, persuading the rest of villagers was not too difficult.

We offer the services of 3,000 of our elite Mississippian Special Air Assault Squads (About 20,000 special operators specially trained in counter-insurgency to fight guerillas in a military and hearts and minds campaign)

We accept, Communist Mississippi. President J.L. extends his thanks.

THE RITUAL

By the end of the day, over 5,000 rural villagers had been 'recruited,' and brought to the hidden, underground, labyrinthine temple that had been used by pagans in ancient times to worship the devil. The villagers were ordered to strip naked, men, women, and children alike. Then, they were all lined up, and each took a turn lying naked in a casket filled with pig blood and intestines, while inhaling highly potent drugs that distorted their perception of reality and warped their minds in a manner satisfactory to their captors. Then, they were each given a 'uniform' and a rifle, and sent to a different city at random, where each of them were ordered to shoot and kill the first ten people they saw, then commit suicide.

A large group of over 120 C-130s was making their way towards Roach Busters, inside were 3,000 fully-equipped MSAAS and hundreds of hummers along with other supplies and vehicles.

Thanks!

While Grenval sends the government its moral support, with peacekeepers in Hawiaan Islands and the entire man army in Turkistan, no direct support can be sent, although Grenval will send in the following, for now, because they may soon be called upon for use in Turkistan.

100 M1A2 Abrams
100 Apache Helicopters
100 F-35 JSFs

Grenval also understands that the above listings may not be useful in guerilla warfare, which is why we have also wired you five billion guynms to support the war effort.

President J.L. thanks Grenval for its kindness, and vows to do whatever he can to support Grenval, Communist Mississippi, and other allies in the future.

Since the mysterious, unsolved murders in the countryside began, certain pro-guerrilla journalists (secretly intimidated by the guerrillas' violent threats) have been writing editorials highly critical of J.L., accusing him of being a "fascist, Hitlerite murderer," who "deliberately murdered these innocent people to milk a few political dollars."

Since then, the public (which deeply trusts RB's media, which has never lied before) has begun rioting in South City.

"Hey, hey, J.L., why don'cha die and go to hell?" chanted protesters, while urinating on public property, breaking windows, burning RB flags, etc. Two-hundred and forty-one arrests were made, eleven police officers were injured and at least eleven-thousand dollars' worth of property was damaged.

Due to a cease fire in Turkistan, Grenval is now able to contribute 20,000 peacekeeping troops. However, the warplanes and tanks will not be sent in due to the high volume of peacekeeping deployment. The helicopters will still be sent in, but now for the use of the Grenvali peacekeepers. However, RB has but to ask and the tanks and planes and helicopters will once again be provided. The troops are scheduled to arrive within two weeks, as they need some time off before heading back out again. Also, expect substantial amounts of war weariness, due to the deployment in Turkistan, and almost immediate redeployment here.

Official Imperial Statement

Emperor Alexei is appalled by the events in the nation of Roach Busters. If the government will allow it, 50,000 Imperial soldiers will be deployed to contain the situation. Several divisions of the Imperial Praetorians will be included in the force, and should prove useful in battling the guerrilas.

Chancellor Feador Alexeevich
Appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Congress

The Citizen Federation of The First Republic is disgusted with the activities of the rebels and the lack of order in Roach-Busters. Upon acceptance, 3 Republican Guard Divisions (30,000 soldiers), 2 Cohortes Urbanae Divisions (40,000 Officers), and a Praetorian Guard Brigade (5,000 Praetorians) will be dispatched to Roach-Busters to help quell the unrest.

Once our offer has been accepted, we will send the personnel and further details.

National Defense Director

We accept all of your offers. Thank you very much!

In response to the terrorist threat, the Commonwealth of Cadwallader is prepared to extend the following offer, such that the threat posed by the radical rebels can be crushed with all deliberate speed and with the force necessary to prevent further insurgencies.

The High Command of the Cadwalladrian People's Defence Force is prepared to deploy two mechanised Shock Armies, Type-AA, to any region required. Cadwalladrian Shock Armies, Type-AA consist of one brigade heavy cavalry, one brigade of mechanised infantry, two brigades light infantry, two Field Artillery regiments, and one Air Assault Cavalry regiment.

We are prepared to maintain this commitment for as long as it shall be required.

Thanks! By the way, The First Republic and Cadwallader, how 'bout being allies?

The recently formed People's Republic of Nehek-Nehek, having never before experienced the horrors of war, expresses its' most sincere condolences. Should the situation deteriorate, armed peacekeepers will be sent. While we may not agree with all of Roach-Busters' political ideologies, we neverless wish to prevent bloodshed.

My nation has a good deal of experience in dealing with guerilla warfare, from rebels to dead to hurt Guerilla's. I am willing to help you out. I will send te 34th Marine Detachment (38,000 men) and several auxillary units, including some of our most famous in their fields:
The First Turetelian Guerilla Warfare Task Team (TGWT) (1,350 men)
SOT (Special Operations Team) and SOT-A (SOT Advanced) (58 men total)
TSFAF (Turetelian Special Forces Armed Forces) (21 men total)
The 74th Infantry Division (Recently coming off the Golden Horde (Invasion of Palmobia) and the assualt on Rebels in the Generic Empire, Veterens. (41,678 men total)
Most advanced in targets and destroying rebels/unethical warfare-
The Ice Melters (4,044th Specialist Corp. also known as 9th Infantry)

Also various naval and air support (2nd Task Force and Black Knight Bombers),
Snipers, and other supplies, including money (somewhere around 560 Million to 1.3 Billion Dollars) and weaponry.

President J.L. paced around his office, his heart hammering away in his chest. He was drenched in sweat and shaking profusely.

"Damn it, what the hell are we going to do?" he asked. "At least 75% of our armed forces are in Generia, and we can't get them back here in time...not fast enough to stop this!"

"Sir, I can assure you, we will do everything we can in the meantime. And things aren't completely hopeless. So far, five friendly nations have offered to aid us."

"See to it that one trillion dollars is wired to each of them," J.L. said, "along with a note with my personal thanks, and an offer to return the favor."

"Yes, sir."

The aide left the room.

J.L. sat down in his chair and turned on the radio.

"This just in: A local school has just been overtaken by over one-hundred armed men, who are threatening to systematically kill every child and teacher if their demands are not met. Their demands are: the immediate resignation of J.L.; the release of Saddam Insane and all the Red Dragons; the granting of independence to RB puppet The Dark Dimension, which is believed to be supporting these individuals."

The 3rd TFR Peackeeping Force is currently enroute to Roach-Busters and should arrive within 2 weeks.

President J.L. extends his thanks to Turetel and Nehek-Nehek. One trillion dollars has been wired to each of these nations, along with proposals for a military alliance and J.L.'s personal thanks.

Faster than anticipated, the situation has devolved once again. The People's Republic is sending 500 counter-insurgency trained peacekeepers at once.

By the way, can anyone think of any nations that might want to side with the enemy? I was going to make it where I tried to return my troops to RB from Generia, only to have them blockaded and attacked by a rival nation trying to prevent them from returning.

SPECIAL UPDATE: Over 25,000 soldiers have just defected to the enemy!

Believing defeat to be inevitable, and wishing to prevent the murder of their families, 25,000 RB soldiers have reluctantly joined forces with the new enemy, whose total number is still unknown. It is estimated that there are over 250,000 guerrillas and at least 100,000 'volunteers.'

What sort of allies...

What sort of allies...

You know, exchange military bases, and help each other in the event that one of us is attacked. If you go to war, I'll back you up; if I go to war, you back me up. Or, if you would like to be allies but not under these terms, feel free to modify this proposal to your discretion. And thanks again for the help!

I do not wish or need to take your money as it would be better spent in your own nation (please don't make me give it back).

Also three new groups have joined and will soon come in:
The 33rd Armoured Division (15,000 men)
The 2nd Air Force (Bombers-1,117 - Fighters- 2,311 - Dual Purpose - 313)
Missile Defence Network (MDN) Team (30 or so CPU Technicians).


My forces (almost all) will arrive shortly.

We are willing to accept the terms on alliance, however we cannot except the exchange of military bases. It is a long standing policy of the Citizen Federation to limit the presence of foreign powers in our homeland.

General Nicholas Razihn stepped off of the modified commercial helicopter in the Roach Busters International airport in RB city (The capital. I am unsure of the name, so may I refer to it as RB city, just for easiness?) The transport aircraft had landed, and he was overseeing the unloading of his troops and equipment.

He was a hard and dangerous man, supreme commander of the Imperial Praetorian guard. He was the best, and he knew it. He wore a long black coat marked with the seal of the old Generian cossacks, his glorious ancestors. He sported several large calibur pistols, and an ornate saber. He looked over the skyline, and smirked coldly. Somewhere out there was an enemy waiting to be hunted, and he was just the man for the job.

Official Imperial Statement

At the news of increased numbers amid the rebels, including several defected military regiments, Emperor Alexei has declared this to be a wartime situation, and the rebels enemy combatants. The Emperor is currently seeking permission from parliament to deploy an additional 500,000 combat ready soldiers to the theater in defense of our great and noble ally Roach Busters, and her august leader President J.L. We will see to it that the government and the nation suffer no more strife from these villains. Long Live Roach Busters!

Okay, thanks! If you ever go to war, I'll be happy to help. That applies to the rest of you, as well.

High Premier of the Cadwalladrian Politburo Jonathan C. Roberts is pleased to accept Roach-Busters' offer of an alliance, and pleased to refer to the Speaker-Premier of the Politburo the electronic wire transfer of one trillion Roach-Busterian dollars.

This kindness will be remembered in all future negotiations.

The Commonwealth of Cadwallader urges all nations to come to the aid of any other nation afflicted by terrorist insurgents, and to crush the evil wherever it may be found with overwhelming force and haste.

By the way, can anyone think of any nations that might want to side with the enemy?

TGWT Commander 2 Star General Earl Watson (Promoted 4 times in the last year and 1/2, from Major, to Lt. Col., to Col., to 1 Star General, to 2 Star General - Major General) had his saber in his right hand and a small, pale green pistol in his left (pale green from a mix of blood from the Golden Horde Campaign and the environment, finally stopped changing colors). He heard some men laughing and saw some smoke around a grove of trees. He and his X.O. Clovian Brigader Johnson Trase were walking quietly through the woods. Bravo Sector had Company Commander Regan Lister and Company Sniper Clive Westword. From the Charlie end of the Sector they had Machine Gun Specialist Robert Wease and Demo. Expert Thomas Laine. The plan was simple, first blow the hell out of the location with silenced RPG's (only silenced until contact) and then charge. The plan worked beautifully, they suprised 13 men eating dinner and found what seemed to be intel documents (old sadly) about the school incident. All rebels were killed.

Permission granted. We believe your success will justify our confidence in you. Best of luck.

The APCs pulled up to the police line that had been established around the school. Praetorians clad in black to match the moonless night filed out into the streets. Razhin's voice was harsh in the cold air. He remembered the briefing he had given his teams shortly before:

"Alright you good for nothing monkeys! They've given us the green light! These sicko bastards got little kids in there, and we get to go in and get 'em. I want 'em all out alive, and i want each one of those sick f***'s heads before we leave tonight! So watch your fire, check you corners, and remember your training! Any questions?! Saddle Up! Ain't this what you signed up for?!"

Now he stood watching his men deploy.

"Alright! Get moving! Alpha follow me! Snipers, get in position!"

The soldiers cut through the night, leaving the confused police watching the men. Men moved across the lawn. Soldiers armed with grenade launchers knelt and took aim, firing projectiles through several windows. The grenades contained fentanyl gas. As the substance spread throughout the building, the special operations teams hit the building bursting through doors and windows.

Razhin dived through a glass window, firing a silenced automatic into a stunned terrorist. The rest of his team came through the door, slaying the other two hostiles in the room. A frightened schoolgirl began to whimper, and crawled towards the corner/ Razhin looke dat her through his gasmask.

"It's all right," he said, his voice distarted through the mask.

"Come on! The guys are amateurs! Let's finish this!"

The other teams had hit the rest of the school's entrances, shutting off the groups of terrorists that would be the last to be affected by the gas. The Praetorians moved upstairs, and into the basement, slaying everyone in their path, and freeing classrooms full of teachers and children. The terrorists were amateurs. Their deployment was sloppy, and they were unprepared, expecting a docile response. As Razhin's team burst through the office in which the leader of the terrorists was holed up, the terrorist realized their fatal error. The terrorist leader wore a black ski mask, like the rest of his men, but he sported an elaborate tattoo on his neck. As the man reached for his pistol, dazed by the gas, Razhin dived forward tackling him. The struggle was brief, and the man was restrained, the only surviving terrorist of their entire failed operation.

The strike was over in five minutes. Children and schoolteachers were carried from the building by the praetorians, to be treated for minor injuries from the gas. Razhin stepped from the front door, removing his gas mask. He was met by the chief of police.

"How'd it go?" asked the man.

"We got their leader, 99% enemy casualties, and all the hostages are fine. What did you expect?" asked Razhin, grinning.

Very awesome post!

A Medal of Valor and $25,000.00 will be rewarded to General Razhin for his heroism.

I will be sending the 5th Marines(20,000) over to RB to crush the rebel movements.

Our Shock Armies' Terror Subjugation and Unification Force is in position and merely awaits the orders of Roach-Busterian High Command in order to quash the terrorist scum.

12:00 Hours; Grenval Military Base Vialish; Rufushian, Grenval

First off, Grenval refuses to accept the money. Your nation needs it to fight the rebels.
Secondly, due to the increasingly violent attacks upon your nation, Grenval has decided to increase its counterattack capabilities. With the permission of Roach-Busters, Grenval is prepared to send in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Heavy Infantry Division, a total of 60,000 men. Also, a further four hundred Apache helicopters will be provided bringing the total to 500 helicopters. Grenval does regret to inform you that if this offer is accepted, the current peacekeepers will be moved out due to war weariness. Each Heavy Infantry Division contains the following:

20,000 Infantry; 1,000 M120 Mortars; 50 M109A6 Paladin Howitzers; all mounted in M113A3 Armored Personal Carrier

Vincent Rafael
Minister of Defense

Thanks, everyone.

Hey, Doomingsland, feel up for a little action? I could have a bunch of rioters make trouble outside your base...
