RD General Headquarters. Operations Department planning room.

Sixty officers sat uneasily, waiting for the General/Vice-Premiere Duck Tzu´s
speech. All commanders of RDPLA´s arms of service were present, which had caused the rumor mill going wild. Never before had this been done with such haste and secrecy. Finally, Vice-Premiere arrived and sixty feet slammed the ground in attention.

"At ease comrades. Please sit down. Captain Vojankov, start the AV-presentation, please."

Silver screen flicked to life behind Vice-Premiere, showing the map of China.

"Comrades, the Central Committee has approved in a secret meeting the Operation Silver Horde, our planned invasion to China and Korean peninsula.
We need this area for our rightful place in NS-world, and Party is prepared to throw everything we got for this claim.
I´m not pretending to be unaware the opposition we will facing, and the determination of our opponent. We can match them man to man, and outnumber them in equipment, but distances we need to travel, to get our forces there will stretch our supply capacity to its limits and beyond. By authority of the Party, I will issue executive order for commandeering every ship or airplane capable of transporting supplies, vehicles, or men, for this glorious task that lies ahead of us. Colonel-General Vironov will continue with details from here. Nikolai Alekseyevich, if you please?"

Short, muscular man, with silvery hair walked to podium. He cleared the stack of papers and coughed.

"Thank you, comrade Vice-Premiere. The planned operations time-table is as follows. Phase one: Preliminary strikes to cripple our opponents mobilization capacity are to be ready in 24th of September. MRD has already infiltrated several units to China, and they are waiting for the codeword. And yes, it was done without authorization from Party of Joint Chiefs, but what is done is done. We chose people from SDT, who could pass as chinese, from glance at least, and used various means to infiltrate them. Don´t worry, everyone entered with legitime means, and did not carry anything compromising. They will pick their equipment in country.
Enough of that. You´ll get all need to know details in your personal briefing.
Right, now to the mission. Our objective is to achieve strategic suprise, which is why we need to maintain relatively low level of activity until the last moment. We will state publicly that we are conducting major military exercizes, so that excuse can be used to mask some of our movements. All elctronic communication regarding this operation, is forbidden. Nothing of this will be said in cell phone, internet, not even in regular phone. All communications before H-hour, other than word of mouth or paper in secure courier delivery, about this will warrant you a quick bullet to back your neck.
Understood, yes? Ah, Vitali Mikhailovich, you have something?"

Admiral Kuropotkin, commander of the Navy stood up.

"How in the hell are we supposed to get our army in there in three days?
Red Banner Pacific Fleet will get there, yes. But others, and the main forces.
I know that your plan will include massive airborne assault, but they can´t hold for long?"

Screen flickered to show locations of troops and landing sites in China. General Vironov continued.

"Yes Vitali, I know our VDV-boys will in for a tough one, but this is what they have been training for. Right?Nod towards Marshall Kutuzov, commander of VDV-Airborne Troops Our attack will start with coordinated
special forces attacks against Chinese communication centers and radar-stations, mobilization depots, infrastructure, and selected key individuals, combined with first wave of air attack by our Naval Aviation and Strategic Air Command. Air attacks aim is to: A) Cripple Chinese Air Force. B) Neutralize Chinese nuclear arsenal. C) Hamper the movement of Chinese troops responding to our airborne assaults. Main attack by VDV will hit Beijing, its objective being the quick decapitation of Chinese goverment. Now, it´s stupid to think that they will just roll over, and play dead, *if* we succeed to kill or capture their leaders. But hopefully it will throw them into confusion, that gives us time to bring more troops and reinforce our attack. Captain Vojankov will give you your personal orders, and intelligence info regarding your part in this operation. Now lets go to work, we don´t have much time to pass the orders."

Situation update of Operation Silver Horde.

Frantic preparations went underway after the announcement of invasion. Regular troops weekend leave was cancelled under excuse of "military exercize", and only at the last moment, which caused complaints among troops.

Transport aircrafts gathered for suprise "maintainance and inspections", preparing to load the first wave of attack. Also hundred Putolev-passanger planes from Aeroduck Airlines were recalled because of "techical difficulties" to remote military airports. Objectives would be Beijing, Tahgshan, Jinshou, Shijiazuang, and Jinan.

Red Banner Pacific Fleet at Yellow Sea positioned itself, and waited for codeword. All four carriers had received orders to move their aircraft to land bases in mainland China, and supply the incoming three fighter-regiments consisting new RDAI-41 interceptors. Inintial landings would take place in Shandong Peninsula, consisting reinforced 16th Naval Infantry Brigade, with objectives to take Yantai, Quingdao, and Zibo, cutting major railroad and highway passing through area.

War Situation Room. The Citadel. H-3 hours.

"Comrade Vice-Premiere, time to make the decision, otherwise timetable of the attack will be ruined."

"I know Gratshov, I know. It´s just that...We are embarking on war against superpower with nuclear capacity, and manpower to match ours. We have always maintained stance of defensive warfare and peaceful coexcistance.
We are now embarking into way of imperialism. The very thing we have condemned."

"This is what needs to be done, if we are to take our rightful place among the nations of the world. There is no other way, I fear."

Vice-Premiere looked up tiredly and sighed. He would be remembered as first
person in Duckche-Partys history, who had issued the dreaded order of full mobilization. He stood up.

"Operation is a go. Call emergency press-meeting. I´ll announce the world step we are about to take."

SSG-641 hideout. Near Yantai, Shandong Peninsula.

"Last check men, don´t forget anything." Captain Lusen said, lighting an another cigarette. "Vanja, Petja! Your VSS´s sighted?

"Yes Arpin."(Rubberduckistani SDT habit of speaking in firstname-basis, regardless of rank) Vanja, younger of the groups sniper team answered.
"We fired few test shots outside. And don´t worry, comrade captain. No one saw or heard us."

Men checked their partners assault vests and backpacks, jumping in place, and then taping down anything that jingled. Group had infiltrated the country from various airports, disguised as backpackers. They had gathered to their safehouse, where couple of illegals had hidden their equipment, smuggled in diplomatic post. Their objective was to seize local military airport, neutralize any opposition, and hold it until relieved by VDV-troops.

"Shhhh! Now it comes." Sergeant Kolja, leader of third squad hissed and turned radio louder.

".......and we´ll grant the wish of boys from 410th, who wish well to those who will still remain in service after they are disbanded. AC/DC and "Thunderstruck."

Moment seemed like eternity, and stunned silence was broken only by beat of the song blaring from radio. It was the codeword. Attack was a go. Had it been "TNT", orders would have been to hide equipment and continue under disguise, leaving the country by various routes.

Then men broke the silence, cheering. They would see action after all. Now they would really see if all that training would pay off.

"Comrades...friends. We will finally prove our mettle in combat." Captain Lusen had difficulty to find words. "You all know your posts. To cars, load."
He tried to sound like firm officer, and used the command language."

Thirty men of SSG-641 scrambled for their rented cars and vans. Column started towards the airfield.

War Situation Room. The Citadel. H-20 minutes.

"Last of the VDV´s first wave embarked, comrade Vice-Premiere." Captain Vojankov, Vice-Premieres aide, said. "Press is waiting for your announcement."

"Yes, yes of course." Vice-Premiere Duck Tzu rose like in sleep and walked with captain towards Press Conference Room. I wonder, if this is how those who I have ordered to be executed felt, when their time came, and they walked towards the Execution Room?

"Comrade Vice-Premiere. Is your son among the first wave? He is in the VDV, is he not?" Captain inquired.

"Yes, Nikolai is in 124th Guards Airborne Regiment (76th Guards Airborne Division). For his sake, and all our sake, even for Chinese sake, I hope this will end quickly. Though I fear it will not. We still need to take Mongolia and Koreas."

"But when we establish bridgehead to China, we can bring in more troops and invade them properly? We can mass troops, force them to split their defenses, and bomb them to stone age if need be?"

"I don´t want bloodshed. What will the history say about me? Man who slaughtered millions, tens of millions? No, less bloodshed the better, though
I fear Chinese won´t let that happen, if they switch back to "People´s War" and humanwave attacks."

Pair entered the room, which fell silent. Vice-Premiere stepped behind the podium, eyeing the prepared speech about destiny, about doing once duty to Motherland. All that felt naive and hypocritical. Soon countless young men would die, because he send them to kill other young men and women. For Glory of the Rubberduckistan? For Glory of the Party? He tossed papers aside,
looked his watch, and bluntly dropped the bomb.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the international press. Comrades of the Party newspapers. Today, 24th of September, at 04:00 Far-Eastern Time, Rubberduckistan is at war with People´s Republic of China."

67th Fighter Group Airfield. Near Yantai. Shandong Peninsula. H-10 minutes.

Men of the SSG-641 had crept to their positions, and waited for the go order.

Captain Lusen´s mouth felt dry. He was known among his men as "The Black Knight", and the phrase "The Black Knight always thriumphs" had become their unofficial motto.

"Owl here." Sniperteam reported in radio. "No movement at perimeter. Patrol went in to the guardhouse. Two men outside at the gatehouse, one inside. Weasel(team) is in position to storm the gate.

"Roger. All teams report in." This is it. No going back. No going back at all.
The hammer will fall.

"Bear in position, over."

"Fox ready, over."

"Wolf check, over."

"Kodiak ready, over."

"Weasel ready, over."

"Owl has the targets, over."

"Fire!"

Two VSS Vintoretz sniper rifles thudded in unison, and two 9x39mmS rounds found their mark in the heads of two unfortunate guards.

Sergeant Kolja and his team jumped up, two men dragging the bodies into darkenss, and sergeant opening the gate houses door silently as possible.
Third soldier sat inside, watching XXX-tape from VCR. Last thing he felt was the knife entering his jugular.

"Mother Goose, Weasel. Gate secure, move in." Sergeant reported.

"Roger, Weasel. All teams, to your targets, go!"

Assault teams ran across dimly lit courtyard towards the barracks. Demolitionsteam headed towards the hangars, with orders to boobytrap the planes, since they were wanted intact if possible. Machinegunner placed his weapon to cover the area.

Captain Lusen took his position at the commanders quarters door. "On my signal, go."

Teams reported in. Ready.

"Gogogogogo!" Captain kicked the door in, his second in command tossing concussion grenade in trained harmony with his motion. Explosion. Team went in, cutting down the stunned and bleeding officer of the watch with fusilade from their supressed AKS-74´s. They heard the sounds of other teams weapons opening up also. The weird sound, which normal person might not recognize as gunshot. Team run to the commanders door.

"Locked! Blow it in." Captain ordered.

Corporal placed the lockcharge, and retreated. "Ready!"

"Go!"

Lock blew off. One trooper opened the door, and second tossed concussion grenade in. After the explosion, bloodied figure scrambled out in nightwear.

"You commander?" Lusen asked in broken Chinese. "Commander? Surrender now!"

Two men wrestled him to ground, and bound him with ducttape.

"He can´t hear a thing. See his ears bleeding." Noted corporal Schimanski.

Captain Lusen searched quickly for pen and paper, and scribbled a quick note. "See this, commander? Read it, and man in your position knows Latin alphabet, so don´t bulls**t me about not being able to read it." Order your men to surrender, now! If they don´t, we will kill every last one of them. And you will go very slowly

Commander looked confused, then he nodded rapidly.

"Take him to central radio room." Captain ordered.

Thirty minutes later.

"Kolja, situation report?" Lusen inquired from his second-in-command.

"Twenty Chinese dead. At least twice as many wounded. Three of them critical. Their own doctor is seeing to them. Victor caught few bullets when one guard got his rifle."

"How´s he?"

"Few bruises. Vest stopped the burst. Mostly hurt his bride, I think. We were lucky here."

"Yes, but they will counterattack as soon as they figure out what´s going on. See the preparations for defense. VDV should be here in an hour, but you´ll never know."

"At once." Sergeant turned and gathered few men, and went to mine the road.

Captain Lusen walked to sickbay, where two men watched the doctors and wounded.

"Well, Victor Petrovich, I heard you started your career as bullet magnet, hmmm?"

Trooper showed a broken ceramic insert, and gave a sheepish smile. "Do I have to pay this, comrade captain? It will ruin my poor family."

"Of course, you dolt. You expect that State has the funds to throw away expensive items like that?" Captain laughed. "Good to see that you are alive Victor. I don´t want any losses in this mission, and don´t you dare to ruin my
wish."

"Thank you, comrade captain. I mean Arpin Arpinovich...."

"Situation here?"

"They started operating that one there. Baba caught him with PKM. Miracle that he is still alive?"

"If there is nothing else, eat and drink, but keep close watch here. One can sleep, if you need to, but one must be awake at all times. I´ll send someone to relieve you."

"Yes Arpin Arpinovich."

Captain left the building. VDV should be thirty minutes away. This might be the longest half an hour of his life.

War Situation Room. The Citadel. Morning briefing.

"Comrades. We now have the first reports from our bridgehead in Shandong
Peninsula." Colonel Ivanov started. "The inintial landings to Yantai, Qingdau, and Lüda were a success. Chinese high command is still in disarray, and is reacting slowly. Also, our 125th Guards Airborne Regiment is moving to outskirts of Zibo, with the objective of cutting the important highway going through there. There is one problem though....Comrade vice-premiere?"

"What do you mean by "problem?" Warfare is always problematical. Do you mean Chinese have something in their sleeves that could cost us this war?"

"Err....no, comrade vice-premiere. The problem is, that even though they are reacting slowly, it appears that we have landed in the middle of their major heavy forces concentrations. It means our paratroopers and naval infantry has to hold at least two days against their major mechanized formations. We estimate at least thirty divisions, and most of their modern armored assets."

"Right, and how many men do we have in China at this moment?"

"About fourty thousand, comrade vice-premiere. Including three hundred armored vehicles, and four hundred planes flying air superiority and -support."

"So, they outnumber us by ten to one. Losses so far?"

"16th Naval Infantry reports of losing thirtyfive KIA, hundred or so wounded.
They also lost ten T-64BV´s when one of the Ivan Rogov´s got hit by Chinese pilot playing kamikaze. We still don´t have the reports from VDV-units. Fighter losses are only two downed planes. RDAI-41 is ripping them apart. Of course the SDT-attacks to major airfield housing their better fighters helped us a lot. They are just sending J-7´s against us now.
On nuclear front, our SDT-teams have accounted all the twenty know Chinese strategic missiles, and are currently engaging on locating their tactical nuclear assets. In closing, next twentyfour hours will be crucial for our next move. If our troops can hold the bridgeheads, we can bring one complete Army to mainland China, and start our offensive proper."

"And what about that...Other thing?" Duck Tzu asked.

"Other thing....Comrade vice-premiere? Oh, that thing. Yes, our teams had success of eliminating some of their leaders...."

"And....?"

"But we missed their premiere. Team got ambushed, when they tried to assault the compound. According to eye-witness, there were no survivors."

"General Tuchatsevsky. What is the plan from now?"

"We are holding the Lüda-bridgehead as feint to draw their forces, so it should ease the pressure from main attack at Shandong. Lüda will be reinforced only enough to keep it in our hands, and carry out some probing attacks. The 20th Guards Army will land at Yantai, and start reinforcing our
positions at the peninsula. 24th Naval Infantry Regiment will carry out diversionary landings along the coast. We hope to draw their forces to our defenses, so we can bleed them dry, and after that resume the push towards Beijing."

This will take forever, if I write every day of the conflict. So if you excuse me, rest of the war will be carried out in form of news flashes.

FYI, China has been claimed at least one hundred thousand times before HP's thread...

OOC: Rubberduckistan, could you TG me your AIM/MSN/whatever you have? i really need to talk to you.

Parliamentary Complex
Granzi City

A report wound itself through the bureaucracy of government, passing before many inattentive eyes before dropping onto the desk of someone important. That someone was no other that the Minister of Defense, Carrington West. Having been in the drill before regarding Chinese matters, he personally forwarded the folder to Prime Minister Terri Bolash.

Upon glancing through the papers, Bolash threw them on the floor in disgust. Carrington was waiting patiently at the door. "Why won't these countries lay off China?" He growled. "Send them a condemnation. Make it diplomatic but firm. And just in case they don't heed our warning, alert the 3rd Battlegroup in Guam. Set the 7th on a rendezvous course to China as well."

Last OOC post in this thread, after this I´m going to ask mod´s to remove anything not IC, except Granzi´s answer.

Granzi, you contesting my claim? Or just wanting to fight? Don´t see in HP´s claim thread, but I may have missed you.

OOC: No, I thought it this was a good RP, and a chance to further brushen up my RP skills. I have no particular interest in any claim thread now, but I'd like to make this a one on one RP, if you have no objections.

Absolutely, positively, and definitely, the last OOC: ;) Ok, thanks Granzi. Just had to clear it out. Of course you can play, if you like. Just so much confusion with those claims and all. I´ll continue posting, and you are in.

Regards
Rubberduckistan

Yantai-7 Airfield.

Captain Lusens head nodded. Damnit! Did I sleep long? Uhh....just dozing. He reached the radio. "Moongoose, Mother Goose. Any sign of Chinuskis?" (Rubberduckistani slangword for Chinese. Not used as racial insult)

"Negative. One civilian car stopped by the column, but took u-turn and speeded away. Didn´t step out check, must have scared bejezuz out of him?"

After two hours of taking the airfield, small unit, about company size, from Peoples Armed Police had approached the airfield. Lookout team had anbushed them with machineguns and claymores, and part of the group had flanked the survivors. Two jeeps and six trucks were smoking hulks. Group had suffered one man killed in firefight, and three wounded who were placed guarding the prisoners.

"Captain, the planes are coming! We are relived." Radioman sounded exited, as he reported the news. "128th is here, and Divisonal HQ should be too."

They both exited the building to watch as first AN-225 started landing. Suddenly tracers started reaching out for the approaching bird.

"They have troops hiding in the woods at southern part of the airfield!" Radioman shouted, pointing the place where shooting came.

"Fox, Mother Goose? You see the place where they are shooting?" Lusen
asked from sergeant Kolja.

"Mother Goose, Fox. We see them. On our way to take them out."

Two smoke trails jumped towards the plane. Both RPG´s hit the plane while it touched down causing the fuel tank to explode.

"My god! That was division commanders plane." Radioman was stupefied.

"Cavalry, Mother Goose. Wait. Airfield is not secure. Hostiles near, continue waiting pattern." Captain ordered rest of the waiting transport planes.
"Bear. Order the Chinese fieldcrews out to clear the wreck. If they refuse to cooperate, shoot few to encourage them. They are POW´s now, and are compelled to work if needed."

War Situation Room. The Citadel. H+12 hours.

"Comrade vice-premiere, we got telegram from Granzi. They are issuing ultimatum for our invasion to China." Captain Vojankov handed the telegram to vice-premiere.

"Ultimatum?" Vice-premiere said without looking the paper.

"Well, they are very polite, but that is what they mean. Stay off China."

"We have already sacrificed our men to take the land, retreating would be unacceptable. What would other nations think of us? That we scurry away when someone just rattles his sabre?" What is our intelligence info about Granzi?"

"We know they have naval base at Guam, comrade vice-premiere. I checked their local news, but they haven´t mentioned anything yet. MRD is directing their recon satellites to Guam area, but it will take six hours before nearest satellite passes the area. Radiolistening ships Nuusku-3 and Nuusku-5 are dispatched to area also."

"Very good major. Send the Granzians firm but polite *no*, and inform them that sea-area 60 miles from Chinese coast is considered warzone. Any attempt to hamper our trooptransports or supplyships will be met by force. Pass the information to commanding officers also. Warning shots first, and if they are not working, use minimum amount of force to solve the situation. No pursuing them, if they break contact."

"Presently so, comrade vice-premiere....Major? But I am still two years away from...?"

"You have worked well as my aide. It is time you get recognition for your efforts. Do you think I don´t know you work at your freetime too, to make up what few slackers leave undone here. Well, no more comrade major. I know them, and their time here is up. Time for fresh blood to be added here."

Open Transmission

We will not back down. The actions taken by Rubberduckistan reflect a nation that is performing needless acts of aggression and imperialism. China is a land that has long been trampled underneath the boots of an oppressor. In the recent war, thousands of Chinese are fighting a war against an outside invader trespassing on their homeland. Do you call that just? That you may attack a nation just for your own benefit? I can not answer those questions for you.

The Commonwealth will not stand for this. Our last communiqué was polite. I will make the situation very blunt. We have placed an ultimatum. Rubberduckistan forces have 24 hours to cease hostilities and begin the process of leaving China. If you do not head this last warning, we will be forced to take action.

Nathanial Sun,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Central Command Intel Complex

Rows upon rows of consoles glowed softly in the dark room. On each wall were placed dozens of screens, some small, some large, all monitoring the globe. At the far corner of the room, an operator scanning spatial matter above the Pacific gave a shout. Commander Gerard Veru hurried over.

"Sir, we have detected an unauthorized presence above Guam, several satellites in fact. It may have to do with the situation with Rubberduckistan."

Hesitating only a moment, Veru's next order was brief and to the point. Shoot them down."

Secure Underground Facility

"It appears like the Rubberduckistanians have resorted to using their children to persuade us out of China. Appalling that they resort to these sickening tactics of coercion." The Prime Minister tossed the transmission onto the table's polished surface. Arranged around the outside rim of the conference hall were the members of Joint Command, mainly high-ranking Ministry and Departmental figures.

"Beside that telegram from the child, we also received a set of orders from the Rubberduckistan High Command." At the push of a control, the liquid monitors imbedded within the wall flickered to life, to display the scanned communiqué. "As you can see here," The screen zoomed onto a paragraph. "They claim nothing but to liberate the common Chinese from the yoke of their oppressors. Suddenly, they now seem to be in the right."

General Demark gave a derisive snort. "Humph... Just propaganda, I tell you. Why, they're probably telling the same thing to their troops, as a motivational factor. If they really wished well for China, they would have never invaded, and have killed thousands of civilians in the process."

"That is something that we can all agree on, correct? It's been generally accepted that one does not invade to liberate, no matter how seemingly just their cause is," interjected Commander Veru. "They seemed to be worried enough to keep Guam under surveillance, doubtless for the intelligence potential. An honest person need not be concerned, which is what the Rubberduckistanians would be, if they were just."

"Good, we have that sorted out." The PM turned to his Foreign Minister. "Have we truly exhausted all diplomatic channels, Nathanial?"

"I'm afraid so, Terri. The Rubberduckistan High Command seem very set onto their objectives. Their reasoning would appear to be that once you spill blood in a campaign, then that land which has been spilt becomes part of the nation. It doesn't look like they're going to budge, nor are we to."

"Then our hand is forced." Bolash looked around to see every assent. "Very well then, I leave it to the head of the military to handle the upcoming round of hostilities. Admiral McDowell, what is the status of our task force to China?"

A balding man in his early 60s clears his throat. "Granzian Naval forces are doing quite well. The 3rd and 7th Battlefleets are on course to rendezvous within the hour. Then, as a combined group of almost 200 vessels, they will chart a path north, curving around the island of Taiwan before coming to a rest offshore in Yellow Sea, below the areas occupied by the Rubberduckistanians. From there, a short amphibious landing should gain us a beachhead near the city of Xinpu. The 7th BF will then move to the south, where a few airlifted brigades will secure the ports of Shanghai and Hangzhou. Heavier equipment can then be shipped in.

The consoles flicker again to show a map with deployments in the China Theater. Demark spoke up once more. "From these initial landing areas, we can then move to seal the Shandong Peninsula and isolate those trapped within. With naval and aerial superiority, Granzian forces can then destroy the enemy at whim. Divide and conquer." He sat back down onto his seat.

"Excellent. For reinforcements, dispatch the 8th and 9th Battlefleets. I want them crushed quickly, and with overwhelming force, so we can end this conflict once and for all. Meeting adjourned."

Secure Transmission

To: Chinese High Command

Please be advised that Granzian forces are moving to the conflict zones to aid Chinese forces in expelling the foreign invaders. We come in peace, and wish for complete access to Chinese territory, in order to better coordinate offensive action against the Rubberduckistanians. With naval forces blockading Shandong, along with simultaneous closure of the landward side, we can seal the enemy and destroy them at will. May the sun be to our backs, and victory for China!

Comrades of the Glorious People´s Liberation Army.

Your traitorous goverment is accepting the aid from Capitalists, who claim to be "protecting" your soveigrnity. In truth, they are condemining you and your childern to slavery, while they reap the benefits of of their treason.

Rubberduckistan has no quarrel with the people of China. We only want to depose your corrupt goverment, and install true Workers and Farmers State, where true equality and liberty can be made true. Your trecherous leaders are willing to accept foreign aid, because they don´t trust you, their own people, and know that Rubberduckistan presents you the real chance of freedom. They know that their time has come.

Save your life, and the life of your comrades. Surrender now, and Rubberduckistan will pay you well after this most unfortunate conflict is over.
We ask you to do this for the sake of your parents, your spouses, your children. Spare them from unnecessary suffering this needless quarrel causes, and lay down your weapons.

Or do your real duty, and stop fight against the real opressors and traitors, your goverment and Granzians.

Invasion of Korea Commences!

(OOC: This is just ridiculous... Anyways enjoy my invasion!)

A massive Five Civilized Nations armada, the first in centuries to even near the shores of China, began to cross the Taiwan Strait, heading north to begin its amphibious assaults. The largest fleet assembled by the Five Civilized Nations Navy, its goal was to gain control over a portion of China crucial to the Five Civilized Nations. With the current turmoil within China and the sudden invasion of several third-rate powers, the Five Civilized Nations were miffed that they did not control a part of what they believed was rightfully theirs. In anger, the August Emperor, Ave Crusade, ordered an invasion of China. In a televised speech, the Emperor employing foul language denounced the actions of the nation of Rubberduckistan.

"We, the billions of descendants of the Han Chinese have no part of China that we deserve. Our dream was to one day return to China and claim it as our own... Now our dreams are being shattered, by the foul and treacherous attacks by the nation of Rubberduckistan. THIS CANNOT STAND! We the true heirs of China cannot allow a foreign usurper, an invader to take what is rightfully ours... Those bastards must not and will never gain control of any part of China! For I have authorized the greatest military endeavor in the history of our nation... As I speak, a great armada is steaming towards China for an amphibious assault to rival that of Normandy. We will not fail and we will gain a part of China that is rightfully OURS!"

(OOC: This is just ridiculous... Anyways enjoy my invasion!)

A massive Five Civilized Nations armada, the first in centuries to even near the shores of China, began to cross the Taiwan Strait, heading north to begin its amphibious assaults. The largest fleet assembled by the Five Civilized Nations Navy, its goal was to gain control over a portion of China crucial to the Five Civilized Nations. With the current turmoil within China and the sudden invasion of several third-rate powers, the Five Civilized Nations were miffed that they did not control a part of what they believed was rightfully theirs. In anger, the August Emperor, Ave Crusade, ordered an invasion of China. In a televised speech, the Emperor employing foul language denounced the actions of the nation of Rubberduckistan.

"We, the billions of descendants of the Han Chinese have no part of China that we deserve. Our dream was to one day return to China and claim it as our own... Now our dreams are being shattered, by the foul and treacherous attacks by the nation of Rubberduckistan. THIS CANNOT STAND! We the true heirs of China cannot allow a foreign usurper, an invader to take what is rightfully ours... Those bastards must not and will never gain control of any part of China! For I have authorized the greatest military endeavor in the history of our nation... As I speak, a great armada is steaming towards China for an amphibious assault to rival that of Normandy. We will not fail and we will gain a part of China that is rightfully OURS!"

Well, you are absolutely right. It is ridicilous, really. Are you contesting my (former) claim, or just jump in without announcing or asking? I tried to RP well, developing the story, but this thing degenerates to free-for-all, with typical "My-army-is-bigger-than-yours"-competition, which I *really* hate. I´m on vacation, and have better things to do. You can fight over the China. I´m not going to waste time to write anything into this anymore. :)

Aww

OOC: FCN, you could have at least TGed for admittance before senting a gigantic armada over... Too bad, this looked to be a promising RP.

Ok, timeout. FCN, why do you invade from area that is under from no one´s control at the moment, if I see right from Holy panooly´s map. There is no one called Five Civilized Nation´s in Taiwan. If you had checked out, this thing is because it is needed to claim area from HP´s earth-map. Nothing more. So, I politely ask you to remove your post, please.

FYI, the actual China was claimed long ago by a couple of larger nations, the fact that HP is allowing MAY 2004 nations to claim such a huge amount of territory is just PREPOSTEROUS! If you actually want an invasion of China, roleplay it properly. The Chinese are not pushovers and they do not like conquerors. In an actual war, the Chinese would use its expansive territory to buy time for a counterattack of an army of several million...

Your RP so far has none of that... What a joke, the world's next superpower getting overrun easily by a youngster...

Exactly my thoughts. Hence why I would never add it to my RL claims list. Actually only one nation owned whole east asia, I removed those claims after I talked to several old NS players and they all confirmed he never RPed with them. If May http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/fruityloops/emot-04.gif nations want to take such a large nation, they have to come up with a damn good story or some bigger allies. I've been thinking of banning nations taking larger RL countries IE Duckistan taking China. That sort of thing. But that would be discriminating... I may just do that.

Ok sonny, before you call anyone youngster....What the heck are you talking about? They have not been overrun. My army has not even made it out of Shandong, let alone landing the major combat formations. If you check the the timetable, it´s twelve hours of first major attacks. If you think my attack is poorly played, haven´t seen you complaining in others, even more poorly played attacks. And don´t come bragging about Chinese Army. I know their numbers, as I did check their forces before starting to write about them. Yeah, they they have men, but their equipment and organization is at transition period. They have only couple of hundred planes you might consider modern interceptors. Now, obviously you are serious player of NS, as you take offense of what has happened, and instead of noting privately, you start posting bull.

Let me explain, in terms you can hopefully understand, what has happened so far. Special forces attacks to several Chinese airfields, not all of them succeeded. I just write one that did. Few chaotic landings with Naval Infantry units aboard the fleet, using the element of suprise. Twelve hours had passed from opening of the hostilities, and I was going to write about Chinese counterattacks, until you dropped in. Maybe a tad unrealistic, yes. But there are no safe lines yet. And you claim I am overruning the country. Don´t they teach understanding what you read anymore? Your posts are now on ignored, but don´t cry. This thread will end here, as I remebered what they said about arguing in the internet, so you can happily tell you friends how you showed another nOOb (god, I hate that word).

In addition. I asked mods to delete this thread, so hope you are happy now?
And FYI, I have met Chinese officers when I served in the army, and have seen how tough their men are, so don´t come bragging to me.
