The Lashugo-Zoogie War [Crisis in Lashuga]

This is continued from the old thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=339569), whose title...will...not...change! *Throws tantrum at vBulletin* In this post I will sum up all the information contained in the last thread.

I am seeking for other nations to get involved; but realize that a lot of this roleplay is worked out BEFORE it is posted on NS - like the sticky says, it does wonders. Ideally, I am looking for one other nation, maybe two; no need to send substantial forces; preferably good roleplayers.

If you can't be bothered to read through this post, suffice it to say that Lashuga and Zoogiedom are at war. *Points accusingly* They started it!

Quagil [February 18]

'Sir,' said a young man with dark brown hair to the king, 'The navy has just reported that a Zoogiedom trade ship has entered within range. Intel says the ship is holding military and automobile exports. It's en route to Redmire.'

The tall aging man in the back of the room turned and said, 'Give them a taste of Lashugese hospitality. Fire Mark 48 torpedoes and then fire RIM-67 SM-2 LASMs to finish them off; if it doesn't, maintain fire with Mark 54's til it does.' He took his seat again and turned away.

Open Sea, outside Lashugese waters

The supply ship cruised the waters comfortably, flanked by the two Perry frigates on their last voyage before returning home to be honorably retired, completely removing the Perry frigate from operation in Zoogiedom.

This voyage was hardly necessary, except the Navy had insisted a celebratory see-off cruise around the Isles, escorting various supply ships, for the two formerly combat-torn ships, returned fresh from Isla de Palata.

Naturally, the crew were just a bit lax. In the waters of the Isles, what could remotely harm them?

"Look, some surface ships," noted Chief Petty Officer Michael Walsh, looking at the sonar/radar input. "Lashugese...let's say hello to them."

He then prepared for a radio transmission when quite suddenly red alarm lights went off in the control room. Not again, he cursed under his breath. Third time this week...

He picked up the intercom and radioed to the sister ship, "Haven't your tech guys figured out yet what's wrong with that blasted - " he stopped short, thinking the intercom was returning only static. However, he soon realized that wasn't the case - people were shouting.

"Hello...?"

A crewsman rushed down and pulled him aside. "Your Seahawk's ready, sir!"

"Wha--?"

But he wouldn't be given answers. He was literally dragged all the way to a helicopter, and roughly thrown in. The helicopter lifted off at once, and before the thought of asking what the hell was going on even crossed his mind, he looked out the window and saw twin torpedoes blasting holes into his ship's side.

He looked at the other ship, but couldn't see it - black smoke had completely engulfed its hull, with flames licking away at what was left.

"What's happening?" he said sharply to the pilot.

"I wish I could tell you..."

Then he heard a loud whistling the sound, the sound of a high-speed jet engine. He scanned the skies, looking for friendly aircraft, but find none. A second later, a massive explosion diverted his attention: it wasn't an aircraft, it was an anti-ship missile, and it had ripped a devastating hole into the hull of the unprotected supply ship. This export ship weren't designed to be used in combat, and hardly at all prepared for an attack. No chance.

Jaganda - Capitol City, Zoogiedom

President William Ciel engaged in a futile phone conversation with the Lashugese king Joshua; absolutely every attempt was made to dodge diplomacy and it deteriorated into the Lashugese king raving about his wife being fantastic last night.

Zoogiedom Embassy in Lashuga [April 12]

Rampaging civilians armed with rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons stormed and took over the Zoogiedom Embassy in Lashuga, which was undefended. Led by Jermaine Smith, the government-sponsored operation put the ambassador and his advisors into a hostage situation. The advisors were later killed.

DENP operatives were dispatched to retrieve the ambassador. Lashugese military forces sent into the area to 'maintain security' promptly shot at and brought down the extraction helicopters after the mission was successfully completed, and Lashugese spec-ops made short work of all the helicopter's inhabitants by sheerly outnumbering them. No conclusive evidence was found that identified Lashuga as the culprit.

Jornis Military Base [May 6]

Jornis was a small, under-construction Zoogiedom military outpost in Lashuga, from which the extraction operation got its required helicopters. A Lashugese brigade - an entire brigade - saw fit to launch an attack on the base, taking it over after a futile but lengthy struggle. Seventeen armoured vehicles were captured with various other spoils of war; although no sensitive documents were retrievable. Zoogiedom losses were total, and included some thirty-six armoured vehicles and close to ten helicopters.

Over a hundred fifteen of the Zoogiedom servicement were killed; most of the wounded from the battle were subsequently shot and added to the casualties list. Thirteen were taken captive.

Two F-16s, tailing the situation immediately after reported, flew in for recon and took heavy flak and SAMs. Both were shot down; however, they succeeded in bombing out some of the Lashugese forces, destroying several armoured vehicles but with barely noticeable personell casualties on the part of the enemy.

Jaganda - Zoogiedom Capitol City [May 9]

After months of tense relations with Lashuga and escalating tensions, legislature has seen fit to declare war on the nation of Lashuga.

A tremendous fleet, with a Doujin-class superdreadnought at its center, cast forth into the seas to bear the wrath of Zoogiedom to Lashuga. After the initial shock, surprise, and failure, the full might of the Zoogiedom war machine would be brought upon its foe.

Some four hundred thousand soldiers across the nation prepared to go to war...

Cammunistika Capitol (?) [May 12]

Cammmunistika has joined sides with its ally Lashuga due to close economic and diplomatic ties that extend to its military. Forces have been deployed to Lashuga.

In a government statement today, the Defense Department has warned Cammmunistika to stay clear of our objectives. Our demands our simple. Do not interfere with any military action that we are carrying out. We have no quarrel with you yet; however, get between Zoogiedom and its target, and your forces shall suffer...

========

SDN-101

The Doujin-class was surrounded by two air defense destroyers and four air defense frigates, forming the nucleus of a fleet that formed many other ships as well. A separate, albeit smaller detachment of four naval vessels steamed ahead to another, undisclosed, location.

Onboard the smaller detachment, Marine spec ops and DENP forces converged for a rescue operation of the hostage situation at Jornis. Thirteen soldiers - two noncombatants, seven army, and four marines - were still being held there.

"Mr. Chieftain." Officer Nils burst into the room.

"Please, Nils, call me Jack." The Chieftain replied.

"Uhhh...sure. Jack, intel reports that a massive Zoogiedom fleet is coming our way to try and destroy the navy."

"Shit! Okay, listen, do not try and have a brute force show down," Carter told him as he thumbed through the pages of the intel report, "They have some Doujin Class. We have nothing that can beat that. Contact General Håkan Syrén. He is currently at the Jamtlands Air Force Base. Tell him that we need a massive air strike to destroy the ships coming our way.

Captin of the sub CF-145 said, "men, we have the Zoogie Fleat in 4 miles from us. Get ready to-
There was a huge explosion that was seen from the horizon.
A Zoogie Fleat Admiral abord a destroyer said to his shipmates , " Yes, they have been killed by one of our mines, good job men!"

Meanwhile back at Vigrashgrad Juenko was at a meeting with his top officials.
"I have just got intel from the Navy that our attempt to destroy and harm some of Zoogie Fleet ships has failed. The cause of death is unknown but a mine is suspected. With our nation still growing and a small population, we are going to stand by for now and request millitary equiptment and ships from our dear supporter and allie Lashuga. That is all."

Cammunistika embassy at Lashuga-
Lashuga com. clerk Dave Cunningham got a folder full of papers with lots of numbers. Another clerk got a direct TG saying
" Message sent to Lashuga is conferming a one time-pad, cause of this is slight chance of message interception to Zoogie Forces. Decryption number 106AG-24T5-666."

The man went to Cunningham and handed him the message
" Here sir."
"Thank you Jim."
" I serve Lashuga!" Jim answered and went out the door.

After a hour and a half of decrypting, Cunningham got the message.

Quick Note from
Grand Master General Zayku
West Scotland
13-08-2004, 22:43
NR, I've talked to Lashuga about the naval war and we've decided to alter his attack a bit due to the amount of time it would take to dispatch fleets and the high improbability that any fleet is going to get within visual range of the other due to the hundreds of aircraft in the sky. I'm not sailing my fleet into yours. Even though this is a battle to destroy your navies, it's more an air war than anything else at the moment.


From military bases on small islands strewn across the Isles, more Zoogiedom air support was taking off to provide additional air cover for the Naval Air Corps. Lan d based ZaS-27A aircraft flew CAP patterns to take out any sort of air resistance offered by Cammunistikia and Lashuga, and an assortment of other aircraft, including the ZaS-27E, served as launching points for air-launced anti-ship cruise missiles.

Meanwhile, the carrier-based onslaught was in full swing. ZaS-42 fighters, sheilded from radar, swooped from high altitudes to deploy 2,000-lb bombs on targets. While casualties were taken, they were few and far between. A dizzying array of optimized Exocet and Harpoon missiles were also fired by Hornet and Tiamat [think Su-37] aircraft to put a dent into the air defense capabilities of the various Lashugese fleets that had been lit up by the time the striker fighters reached them.

Jaganda

Lethislavania's full support is, as always, welcome.

Jamtlands

General Syrén looked over at the red phone sitting on the end of his desk and hoped to hell that it was just a prank call from the scyzophrenic (My apologies if I can't spell) king. He reached slowly to the phone and whispered, "Hello?"

"Syrén, we need your strategies." a young voice came through from the other end.

"By what do you mean, and where is the king?" Syrén asked.

"King? We're the hell are you living? The king is dead. Murdered in his sleep. Carter's in charge now and he needs you."

"For what? And I'm living in a remote training area for the best pilots we have." The General said rather rudely.

"The Chieftain has asked for your help in organizing an air attack on a Zoogiedom fleet."

Syrén rolled his eyes and stared at a picture of him and his friend, Jack Carter, on his desk. "Wait, is the Ciheftain Jack Carter?"

"Why yes, he is?

"Ah hell, I'd do anything for him. He saved my life during a Mhi'Ade raid. Give me 1 hour and I can wipe those damn blue-lefties out."

1 Hour Later
Syrén walked into the largest room at the base and gave the orders for attack.

Ecklar Training Base For the Military Elite

"Who are you?!" Colonel Zackary Ecklar screamed.

"Lashugan Elites!" The trainees responded.

"What do you do?!" He screamed again.

"Guard the mainland from lefty-blues!" The men screamed.

"And if you die?!" Ecklar screamed for one last time.

"We will have been honored!"

"At ease. Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about Lashuga wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Lashugans love to fight, traditionally. All real Lashugans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. When you, here, every one of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-Lashugan football players. Lashugans love a winner. Lashugans will not tolerate a loser. Lashugans despise cowards. Lashugans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Lashugans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an Lashugan. You are not all going to die. Only two percent of you right here today would die in a major battle. Death must not be feared. Death, in time, comes to all men. Yes, every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared. Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some, it takes an hour. For some, it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base. Lashugans pride themselves on being He Men and they ARE He Men. Remember that the enemy is just as frightened as you are, and probably more so. They are not supermen. All through your Army careers, you men have bitched about what you call "chicken shit drilling." That, like everything else in this Army, has a definite purpose. That purpose is alertness. Alertness must be bred into every soldier. I don't give a fuck for a man who's not always on his toes. You men are veterans or you wouldn't be here. You are ready for what's to come. A man must be alert at all times if he expects to stay alive. If you're not alert, sometime, a German son-of-an-asshole-bitch is going to sneak up behind you and beat you to death with a sockful of shit! There are four hundred neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily, all because one man went to sleep on the job. But they are German graves, because we caught the bastard asleep before they did. An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is pure horse shit. The bilious bastards who write that kind of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any more about real fighting under fire than they know about fucking! We have the finest food, the finest equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. Why, by God, I actually pity those poor sons-of-bitches we're going up against. By God, I do.
My men don't surrender, and I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he has been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back. That's not just bull shit either. The kind of man that I want in my command is just like the lieutenant in Libya, who, with a Luger against his chest, jerked off his helmet, swept the gun aside with one hand, and busted the hell out of the Kraut with his helmet. Then he jumped on the gun and went out and killed another German before they knew what the hell was coming off. And, all of that time, this man had a bullet through a lung. There was a real man! All of the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters, either. Every single man in this Army plays a vital role. Don't ever let up. Don't ever think that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great chain. What if every truck driver suddenly decided that he didn't like the whine of those shells overhead, turned yellow, and jumped headlong into a ditch? The cowardly bastard could say, 'Hell, they won't miss me, just one man in thousands.' But, what if every man thought that way? Where in the hell would we be now? What would our country, our loved ones, our homes, even the world, be like?

No, Goddamnit, Lashugans don't think like that. Every man does his job. Every man serves the whole. Every department, every unit, is important in the vast scheme of this war. The ordnance men are needed to supply the guns and machinery of war to keep us rolling. The Quartermaster is needed to bring up food and clothes because where we are going there isn't a hell of a lot to steal. Every last man on K.P. has a job to do, even the one who heats our water to keep us from getting the 'G.I. Shits.' Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men. One of the bravest men that I ever saw was a fellow on top of a telegraph pole in the midst of a furious fire fight in Tunisia. I stopped and asked what the hell he was doing up there at a time like that. He answered, 'Fixing the wire, Sir.' I asked, 'Isn't that a little unhealthy right about now?' He answered, 'Yes Sir, but the Goddamned wire has to be fixed.' I asked, 'Don't those planes strafing the road bother you?' And he answered, 'No, Sir, but you sure as hell do!' Now, there was a real man. A real soldier. There was a man who devoted all he had to his duty, no matter how seemingly insignificant his duty might appear at the time, no matter how great the odds. And you should have seen those trucks on the rode to Tunisia. Those drivers were magnificent. All day and all night they rolled over those son-of-a-bitching roads, never stopping, never faltering from their course, with shells bursting all around them all of the time. We got through on good old Lashugan guts. Many of those men drove for over forty consecutive hours. These men weren't combat men, but they were soldiers with a job to do.

They did it, and in one hell of a way they did it. They were part of a team. Without team effort, without them, the fight would have been lost. All of the links in the chain pulled together and the chain became unbreakable. Don't forget, you men don't know that I'm here. No mention of that fact is to be made in any letters. The world is not supposed to know what the hell happened to me. I'm not supposed to be commanding this Army. I'm not even supposed to be here in England.

Let the first bastards to find out be the Goddamned Zoogies. Someday I want to see them raise up on their piss-soaked hind legs and howl, 'Jesus Christ, it's the Goddamned Third Army again and that son-of-a-fucking-bitch Patton.' We want to get the hell over there." The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit. Sure, we want to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo. And when we get to Berlin, I am personally going to shoot that paper hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake! When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day, a German will get to him eventually. The hell with that idea. The hell with taking it. My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Zoogies that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cock suckers by the bushel-fucking-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do! I don't want to get any messages saying, 'I am holding my position.' We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Zoogies do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn! From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder WE push, the more Zoogies we will kill. The more Zoogies we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great Defeat of the Zoogies, you WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, 'Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Quagil.' No, Sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say, 'Son, your Granddaddy rode with the Great Third Army and a Son-of-a- Goddamned-Bitch named Zackary Ecklar! Now go out and guard our land from lefty-blues! You are the 8th Army! You are the last line of defence! You will not fail! It's Go Time!"

"Justine, I think I have to make a Military Aid Request, or a Lockdown," thinking hard by The Royal Leader. "This is very important in our region, The Zoogie Isles. We must keep our safety in our citizens our number one priority. Think of it. Our relationships can improve with Zoogiedom, after our breakup... Think Justine, think..."

Hello citizens.

The sudden conflict of Lashuga and Zoogie has affected us all. Just now, we have been heard that Lashugan forces are making an attack and Zoogie planning one. Our main concern is for Zoogie, for being in our region. This has made us worry because we are so close to getting that much harm.

"Both Lashuga and Zoogiedom are members of the region," observed the foreign minister. "What is Hawaiian Islands talking about? Well, at any rate, our alliance is null and void. Make it clear to them that we do not want any Hawaiian involvement in this war, on any side."

Inkana, your nation need not overextend its military. For a nation the size of yours, extended military conflict would only hurt its prospects of growing. Military action can be a very trying situation...we thank you for your support, but commitment of forces is unnecessary.

Enclosed you will find a copy of orders issued to every Samtonian military force of any importance. We would like to keep you aware of what we are doing, so as to avoid any confusion. We feel that our efforts are better spent aiding you against Lashuga, rather than continuing the blockade.

Current force dispositions will be forthcoming shortly. If you could reply as to a suitable link-up point for the fleet that we're sure will be sent to deal with the scum who attacked you (or at least tried as the case may be) and ours, our military would find it useful.

We currently are preparing plans for an invasion of Lashuga and a defence of your country, and would be open to any requests of troops you might have us bring, so as to aid you in the upcoming struggle.

The tall aging man in the back of the room turned and said, 'Give them a taste of Lashugese hospitality. Fire Mark 48 torpedoes and then fire RIM-67 SM-2 LASMs to finish them off; if it doesn't, maintain fire with Mark 54's til it does.' He took his seat again and turned away.

Open Sea, outside Lashugese waters

The supply ship cruised the waters comfortably, flanked by the two Perry frigates on their last voyage before returning home to be honorably retired, completely removing the Perry frigate from operation in Zoogiedom.

This voyage was hardly necessary, except the Navy had insisted a celebratory see-off cruise around the Isles, escorting various supply ships, for the two formerly combat-torn ships, returned fresh from Isla de Palata.

Naturally, the crew were just a bit lax. In the waters of the Isles, what could remotely harm them?

"Look, some surface ships," noted Chief Petty Officer Michael Walsh, looking at the sonar/radar input. "Lashugese...let's say hello to them."

He then prepared for a radio transmission when quite suddenly red alarm lights went off in the control room. Not again, he cursed under his breath. Third time this week...

He picked up the intercom and radioed to the sister ship, "Haven't your tech guys figured out yet what's wrong with that blasted - " he stopped short, thinking the intercom was returning only static. However, he soon realized that wasn't the case - people were shouting.

"Hello...?"

A crewsman rushed down and pulled him aside. "Your Seahawk's ready, sir!"

"Wha--?"

But he wouldn't be given answers. He was literally dragged all the way to a helicopter, and roughly thrown in. The helicopter lifted off at once, and before the thought of asking what the hell was going on even crossed his mind, he looked out the window and saw twin torpedoes blasting holes into his ship's side.

He looked at the other ship, but couldn't see it - black smoke had completely engulfed its hull, with flames licking away at what was left.

"What's happening?" he said sharply to the pilot.

"I wish I could tell you..."

Then he heard a loud whistling the sound, the sound of a high-speed jet engine. He scanned the skies, looking for friendly aircraft, but find none. A second later, a massive explosion diverted his attention: it wasn't an aircraft, it was an anti-ship missile, and it had ripped a devastating hole into the hull of the unprotected supply ship. This export ship weren't designed to be used in combat, and hardly at all prepared for an attack. No chance.

Jaganda - Capitol City, Zoogiedom

President William Ciel engaged in a futile phone conversation with the Lashugese king Joshua; absolutely every attempt was made to dodge diplomacy and it deteriorated into the Lashugese king raving about his wife being fantastic last night.

Zoogiedom Embassy in Lashuga [April 12]

Rampaging civilians armed with rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons stormed and took over the Zoogiedom Embassy in Lashuga, which was undefended. Led by Jermaine Smith, the government-sponsored operation put the ambassador and his advisors into a hostage situation. The advisors were later killed.

DENP operatives were dispatched to retrieve the ambassador. Lashugese military forces sent into the area to 'maintain security' promptly shot at and brought down the extraction helicopters after the mission was successfully completed, and Lashugese spec-ops made short work of all the helicopter's inhabitants by sheerly outnumbering them. No conclusive evidence was found that identified Lashuga as the culprit.

Jornis Military Base [May 6]

Jornis was a small, under-construction Zoogiedom military outpost in Lashuga, from which the extraction operation got its required helicopters. A Lashugese brigade - an entire brigade - saw fit to launch an attack on the base, taking it over after a futile but lengthy struggle. Seventeen armoured vehicles were captured with various other spoils of war; although no sensitive documents were retrievable. Zoogiedom losses were total, and included some thirty-six armoured vehicles and close to ten helicopters.

Over a hundred fifteen of the Zoogiedom servicement were killed; most of the wounded from the battle were subsequently shot and added to the casualties list. Thirteen were taken captive.

Two F-16s, tailing the situation immediately after reported, flew in for recon and took heavy flak and SAMs. Both were shot down; however, they succeeded in bombing out some of the Lashugese forces, destroying several armoured vehicles but with barely noticeable personell casualties on the part of the enemy.

Jaganda - Zoogiedom Capitol City [May 9]

After months of tense relations with Lashuga and escalating tensions, legislature has seen fit to declare war on the nation of Lashuga.

A tremendous fleet, with a Doujin-class superdreadnought at its center, cast forth into the seas to bear the wrath of Zoogiedom to Lashuga. After the initial shock, surprise, and failure, the full might of the Zoogiedom war machine would be brought upon its foe.

Some four hundred thousand soldiers across the nation prepared to go to war...

Cammunistika Capitol (?) [May 12]

Cammmunistika has joined sides with its ally Lashuga due to close economic and diplomatic ties that extend to its military. Forces have been deployed to Lashuga.

In a government statement today, the Defense Department has warned Cammmunistika to stay clear of our objectives. Our demands our simple. Do not interfere with any military action that we are carrying out. We have no quarrel with you yet; however, get between Zoogiedom and its target, and your forces shall suffer...

========

SDN-101

The Doujin-class was surrounded by two air defense destroyers and four air defense frigates, forming the nucleus of a fleet that formed many other ships as well. A separate, albeit smaller detachment of four naval vessels steamed ahead to another, undisclosed, location.

Onboard the smaller detachment, Marine spec ops and DENP forces converged for a rescue operation of the hostage situation at Jornis. Thirteen soldiers - two noncombatants, seven army, and four marines - were still being held there.

Sorry, I think I have writer's block.

"Prime Minister," said the President, "If your forces are involved elsewhere, I understand. I have confidence in the military to handle this on its own, and military contribution won't be necessary, with other allies already committing forces. We welcome your help, as always."


Samtonia:

We are grateful for your assistance, and are currently mobilizing our own navy to engage in a blockade of Lashuga. With a good deal of our ground forces engaged elsewhere, we are especially grateful for your plans of a Lashugese invasion.

Currently, we are still engaged in a naval/air war, although we fully expect to crush their immediate naval/air response capabilities, and soon thereafter to establish air superiority.

While an invasion seems imminent, concern for loss of life on both sides, including civilian casualties, has prompted the defense department to advise a full blockade of the nation and destruction of its military first. If we can get a victory by constricting them and suffocating them, it would be the preferred course of action.



Roach-Busters: Writer's block has now fully overcome me. Sorry...you're going to have to get this crappy, semi-OOC version of diplomacy: If you want to join, feel free, but only send a small carrier battle group. Too much forces makes for a confusing myriad of roleplay...don't send ground forces, we're hoping to get this done without a full-on invasion.

LNN News Break

Hello I'm William Lachance and oer the last month thousands of rouge militants have picked up arms to crush the Zoogiedom opposition. Chieftain Jack Carter, in no way supports these actions and has asked for them all to not kill for this country. If they really wanted the help they should join the army. In other news gas prices have risen again and even more unleaded gasoline is being shipped in from Alewares.

"Is it ready?" Frank asked.

"Just one more and yes this is my finest masterpiece."

"So explain again what it does."

"Well you see. This beauty right here hides herself in the kernel and sits there waiting. But as soon as you hit the shutdown button she springs to life sending herself to everyone in your address book. Then destroying the kernel."

"And your giving this to who?"

"The Zoogiedom regional defence computers of course."

Enclosed are the rough plans for the opening stages of our entry into the war. As of this time, no one outside of yourself and our command structure know of our involvement in this war. We plan to keep it that way.

Our plan as of this point consists of a number of steps.
Cutting off Lashuga from the world, via blockade
Destroying Lashugan trade capabilities by hunting down merchant vessels
Causing panic amongst Lashugan civilian populace by bombardment/capture of outlying cities, ports, munitions and fuel stores, and national monuments
Act to destabilize portions of Lashuga through diplomacy, covert action, and propaganda

Due to your concerns over losso f life, our military planners feel that this is the best method to force a landing with a minimum of casualties. We await your confirmation on our plans.

As of this time, our navy is preparing to send out the First Battlegroup to perform recon and hit-and-run actions against targets of opportunity on the Lashugan coastline. The airforce is preparing to route a number of squadrons over to The Zoogie People homelands and would like confirmation on the types of aircraft most needed. Army is mobilized but waiting to move out.

We look forward to helping you in this glorious undertaking.

Oh, and by the way, from now on you may send all military matters to the Samtonian JCOS as well.

Could all nations involved (on my side) telegram my puppet West Scotland (who has a nice, emptier TG box). Thanks. I just wanted to keep track. Currently, I'm counting Samtonia and Hudecia, possibly Roach-Busters...I don't know.

We do not wish to sink to Lashuga's level by destroying merchant vessels; however, we believe a complete blockade of their nation and constant naval/air patrol will both effectively cut off Lashuga from the rest of the world and constrict their trade and subsequently, their economy.

Civilian targets such as national monuments need not, and should not be touched; the psychotic government of late in Lashuga has been the enemy, and not the populace. We believe that if we destroy Lashuga's military infrastructure, it would facilitate the fall of the government. As said before, invasion will ultimately be necessary if the blockade is unsuccessful, and we are willing to commit forces, but only after we have weakened their capability and their resolve.

Destabilization and covert action is necessary. Our intel agencies will work with your operatives to provide you with the latest information on destabalizing key parts of Lashuga, particularly the capitol regions.



I'll be out for a few days...anyways, how'd you do those nice bullets? ;)

With the adding of the brackets around list and /list. Put this in front of and behind every point you want. So, for example

list A /list

Oh boy. Sorry. Lashuga, h4x0ring doesn't work out too well in roleplays, because it amounts to 'My h4x0rs are l337!' and 'My fir3w4ll is l337312!!' and back and forth...

Please note that the outcome of this battle was predetermined betwen Lashuga and me. I've taken a bit of roleplaying liberty here, so please don't object.

The attack began through the air.

From the bases near the two Methels, twin squadrons of the bulky SC-240 took to the skies. Their objective was to make way for the pending air assault by the allied forces in the area.

Radar installations - military harbours - command centers - air defense vessels - all were targeted in a redundant fashion by the cruise missile aircraft. They flew through the Isles for a short distance only, for their targets were not far, taking into account the range of the CALCMs.

Then they unleashed their deadly arsenal. At last, turning, they returned to base.

On Tagyr Island, in the most secretive of military bases, specialized aircraft of the X240 series were readied for a huge paradrop operation to commence after the defenses were shattered.

Some time later

As the cruise missiles neared their targets, the fighters launched. MiG-29s quickly secured the airspace immediately around the fleets, and ZaS-27s roared in advance of them to take out the limited Lashugan air patrols. F-18E/Fs took off laden with Harpoon and Exocet anti-ship missiles to strike en masse the carriers and battleships, while ZaS-42s stored with twin 2000-lb bombs, took to the skies last, to deliver the knockout blow to the Lashugan navy.

The Lashugan forces were streaming together, and so Zoogiedom had to act fast. For as long as they were scattered, they were easier prey. Consolidated, the task would be harder.

The cruise missiles struck first - at the ships most likely to pose a threat to aircraft; aircraft carriers and air defense frigates and destroyers. Next came the Harpoons and Exocet missiles, in great numbers; even as the CIWS shot them down, they struck into the decks of their targets.

Air superiority was not a problem. The battle-hardened Firebird pilots were also utilizing some of the most advanced technology in the region, and Lashugan air units were scattered and few. But the battle was not won - it was only beginning.

F-18s roared down from the sky to unload their last arsenal - 1000-lb unguided bombs - onto the Lashugan fleets, and were raked with AAA and SAM fire. A good many Hornets were shot down, crashing into the water with some of the bombs that had missed. ZaS-42s also faced deadly opposition, and several were strafed with heavy caliber anti-air fire.

But by now, the Lashugans were crippled. The overwhelming air assault had decimated much of their forward naval units, and undoubtedly they were now scrambling the other naval units in their arsenal. The day had been won, but at the price of many a Hornet and Gecko squadron.

Yet Lashugo was not quite out. Aircraft carriers they had, speeding towards the area. From the land, the air force was preparing and readying for launch. Even as the first wave of combat sorties ended, the second began, in a desparate race to take out the Lashugese land aircraft before they took to the skies in defense of the nation.

As the clanging of ship's bells shattered the post-dawn stillness, the harsh screams of seabirds could be heard over the tranquil salt marshes.

Admiral Roger Arthsten, Commander second Class paced the deck of his flagship, the Corinth. In the bridge behind him, his command team were busily communicating with the myriad of ships around them, as the early-morning fog made it difficult to see. One trawler had already grounded on a sandbar and they didn't want that to happen again.

As the massive command ship slowly moved out of the salt marshes, Admiral Arthsten glanced behind him.

In the rapidly fading fog, pushing out, prows glistening in the sun came ships. First one, then two, then dozens. The First Battlefleet was sailing....
