The Ministry of Defence today announced that all leaves are cancelled indefinately for all soldiers in any branch of service in al-Anbar's military. On the streets of Baghdad and several other major cities, a large military presence can now be seen with heavily armed soldiers patrolling streets and sandbag positions are now being built throughout the nation.
According to local sources, Iraqi military units have been seen heading southward on highways toward the Saudi and Kuwaiti borders. al-Jazeera sent a team to assess what was going on but was turned back at a military checkpoint at al-Zubayr just south of al-Basra. The team then tried to go along a highway from an-Nassiriyah and go southward but were also turned back at a small village some fifty kilometres from the border.

ooc- I'd like to send a few units to defend Saudi Arabia. Mostly because I'm bored as hell and none of my regular RP pals are on right now, and many are away for a few days. I'll see what you say, if you agree, I can send a few divisions from the Commonwealth Army of Mississippian Egypt and the federal garrison stationed there can send some units. If you don't want me to get involved, just say so and consider the above statement just the Czar blowing some hot air.

..::In Orbit Over Arabian Peninsula::..
The satellite noticed the heat plumes from the Al Anbar units and the person responsible for the satellite switched the view from IR to visual with an IR overlay, which made spotting individual vehicle easier. Elements of company size were singled out and recorded on high-resolution digital photos, and then downloaded to ESS headquarters. It would be a few hours yet before the forces were identified and assigned theat priorities.
..::Duchy of Kuwait and Imperium Mainland::..
In the meantime the three House Saleh light infantry divisions were quietly stood to as a defensive measure in case the Anbari forces became frisky. Inside the Imperium the Helsinki and New Edinburgh Guards Armies -both of which were comprised primarily of airborne divisions- were also stood to, although this was done just as quietly.
..::Indian Ocean::..
A battlegroup doing security overwatch for the OMP base to be built in the Indian Ocean was alerted as well. The ships turned early in their patrol route and followed the westward leg almost perfectly, in a few hours it would become clear that the battlegroup was heading torwards the mouth of the Gulf, but until that time the rouse was kept up.

Al Anbar military forces on the move
After the announcement of Al Anbar of possible military action in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the Jeruselem government declared a state of high alert posting undislosed Crusader army position along the Jeruselem/Al Anbar border. General Shabat said this was not an afront to Al Anbar, but a precaution in case any fighting spills into the territory of Jeruselem.
The Jeruselem foreign minister said Jeruselem opposed any illegal military invasions of Middle Eastern nations for less than justifable reasons and Al Anbar's actions should be reconsidered.

Bridge of the IHS Periocles, FlagShip of Task Force 40. 20miles south of the exit from the Suez Canal
The Vice-Admiral looked down on the shimmering deck below, he had taken a break from the air-conditioned CIC to come up onto the open wing of the bridge and let the warm breeze flow all over him.
At 45 Vice-Admiral Johnson was quite old for his position, not that it would remain Vice for much longer. The commander of the 7th Fleet was retiring in two months time, and he had been tipped for the job helped somewhat by his friendship with President Anderson although he was still a highly competant naval officer. You had to be to command a vessel such as the Periocles, the nameship of her class, along with her support fleet.
Their orders had been recieved twelve hours ago, luckily when they were near the Northern Coast of Egypt and it had been a short speed hop to the head of the canal. Two destroyers had gone down the canal one after the other, ensuring that no other ships would try to traverse it whilst the giant carrier squeezed through, most of her 200 aircraft flying protective cover. They had been followed by a couple of cruisers and then the Nimitz class carrier IHS Alder followed by the rest of the escort with the exception of the submarines which had returned to the carriers original patrol location. More subs would be joining them as they passed IG. They had caused considerable delay in the canal, forcing several merchant ships to wait due to the fleets quick barge work. The government would probably be fined for it, but they had been ordered to get on station as quickly as possible to join the IHS Striker coming up from the Indian Ocean towards the Arabian Sea.
However before that they still had to pass inbetween Yemen and the northern tip of Somalia which would require a night time speed run, due to start in just over sixteen hours. They would be in the Western Arabian Sea within four days and linked with the Stiker after another one and a half.
Port Gillen, Eastern Coast of South Africa.
Four massive supply ships slowly slipped their moorings and moved along the channel towards the sea. As they went they were joined by two Destroyers and a pair of Frigates.
Half an hour later they were on the move, heading North. As they went they were joined by five other ships and an refuelling ship, all bound for the Arabian Sea. The sailors had been on land for barely a day as their ships were loaded with naval stores and in most cases spare ammunition before the were called back to ship and headed out to sea.
Those that looked back could see the shape of 12 RO/RO transport ships moving into the berths that they had just left as the lead elements of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division rolled into the military area of the massive port. Those 12 ships had just made a run up from the Southern port of Arnor to join the 45 already in Gillen, preparing to take VII Corps to the protection of USIH oil interests, the biggest import that the country made most of which came from Saudi oilfields.

Voice of the Liberation of the Arabian Pennisula Radio
"Alfa, Beta. Qassem. 1. 9. 4. 2. 1. 9. 4. 2. 1. 9. 4. 2." repeated the voice on the radio station for approximately one minute.
"It's time. We must accomplish our mission," explained Abdul Rahman al-Riyadhi, the leader of Battalion 3 of the 'Arabian Penninsula Liberation Army', a mainly Saudi-group that was armed and trained by Al Anbar and slipped into Saudi Arabia over the years since the last war ended.
"Allahu Akbar!" exclaimed Abdul Rahman, his fellow soldiers in arms replied in kind. Seconds later, they grabbed their weapons, a combination of AK-47s, AK-74s, and RPG-7s.
They streamed out onto the street, shooting off small arms. Their target was across the street from their residence - the Ministry of Information, which housed the broadcast facilities for all Saudi radio and television stations. Within twenty minutes, the building had been seized and the radio and television stations went off the air. The guards of the Ministry had simply surrendered when they saw the almost 150 men team charge into the building.
The same was repeated throughout the capital, with units ranging from 50 men to 1,000 men. They seized the Royal Palace, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Information, Ministry of Oil, and the actual facilities that created the material to be broadcast on radio and television. As it approached mid-day, the radio and television stations returned, broadcasting the exact same material on each channel. There was a recorded message from a General Lahibi, who commanded the garrison of Riyadh. He appealed to the people to be calm and support the liberation of their country. He also ordered all units to stand down throughout the country and claimed that the majority of the nation had already been seized and their was no point in fighting for the oppressors anymore.
General Lahibi also announced the formation of the 'Arabian Interim Government' and called on Al Anbar and other Arab nations to help them in their time of need.

Riyadh had not been quiet for more than an hour or so during the whole night. Firefights continued to erupt between small 1-3 men units of the Royal Guard who had fled during the initial onslaught and who are now attempting to reorganize, but are usually crushed soonest the Liberation Army found out where they were basing. But, it seemed that their campaign to capture Riyadh had been successful. They had captured the government buildings and controlled the majority of the city, and had even captured several Saud family members as they attempted to flee the city. The liberation forces also had taken limited casualties in the battle. Now, they dug in and prepared for any counter-coup.
General Lahibi Message
We welcome our Arab brothers in Al Anbar and ask for you to send immediate humanitarian and military assistance to our nation. It is important that this be done quick enough to stop the oppressors from escaping to Kuwait or to one of the Emirates. We ask for your support, Al Anbar.

Within minutes of the message of General Lahibi reaching Al Anbar's government, Al Anbar troops crossed the border into Saudi Arabia. They had waited for this time and were well prepared. It took Al Anbar over a year to organize this 'Liberation Army' and get them back into Saudi Arabia, but they had done it. It was time to take the benefits of their hard work.
As Iraqi soldiers crossed the border into Saudi Arabia, the Liberation Radio station, which was transmitting from inside Al Anbar, broadcast a new set of coded, seemingly random words and numbers. Not less than an hour later, northern Saudi Arabia was being taken over by both the Liberation Army and the army of Al Anbar.
The Liberation Army's main goal at this point was to secure the border villages of Hafar al-Batin, Rafha, Ar'ar, and Turayf, and also to have units prepare to join Al Anbar's army in an assault on King Khalid Military City.
The Saudi Army was giving some light resistance in certain strategic areas, but most have simply melted into the populace, fled, or surrendered.

The Arab Socialist Republic of Al Anbar has not violated international law. We have been asked by the new government of Saudi Arabia for assistance and we are now providing the assistance they required. We will not be blackmailed for doing absolutely nothing except assist a fellow Arab nation.
We will, however, offer you humanitarian assistance based on the fact that you openly declare a state of emergency and send a letter requesting such aid to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are not cruel people and see no reason not to help people, whether they be our enemies or not.
Secondly, as we have stated, we will not invade any nation. We will come to the assistance of a nation that requests it, such as Saudi Arabia, but we will not invade a nation. If Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Qatar, or Bahrain request our assistance, we will come to their aid.
Also, as we have already said, we have even been willing to come to the aid of LowerEgypt when its territory was invaded by the Independent Hitman. Why would ever want to invade them? We see no purpose in doing so.

You're last telegram stated that for five billion barrels of oil, economic and humanitarian assistance, and certain guarantees, you would "look the other way" to my assistance being given to the people of Saudi Arabia. This sounds like blackmail to the people of Al Anbar and Saudi Arabia.
We would also like to say that you are being slanderous for saying that we have annexed Saudi Arabia. We have not. We sending humanitarian assistance to the government of Saudi Arabia and have sent military units to assist the new government keep the peace against the former oppressors and "dead enders". We demand you retract your statement.
We will leave Saudi Arabia when our assistance mission is completed and the Saudi Arabian government asks that our military units leave their territory. Until then, we will stay to defend the people of Saudi Arabia and give them the needed assistance.

The Secretary General would like to see a copy of this telegram you speak of and we would like to know who signed it, if it does exist.
We have not accused you of annexation. We merely referenced your past tendencies. As far as we know, you have shown no sign of reform.

Secret IC:
Diplomatic Telegram to Al Anbar:
From: The Whittier Foriegn Minister
Though your actions clearly violate international law, we have other interests to protect elsewhere. Our people are starving and we are in the middle of two pandemics that have already killed millions. In return for 5 billion barrels of oil, economic and humanitarian assistance, and assurances you won't invade Kuwait, Lower Egypt, Oman, UAE, Yemen, Qatar, or Bahrain, I am sure our officials could afford to look the other way. If you know what I mean.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
This is the telegram we have received from your government.
(OOC: Really, my response was supposed to also be a "secret telegram" to you too, but it doesn't really matter. I will prevail in this either way. :))

ooc: agreed. I am breaking whittier up with the division of Whittier thread and this rp is a good opportunity to introduce corruption into the government. One of the first first major signs that a nation is decaying is corruption in the government. The telegrams are are secret. The Secretary General doesn't know anything about the foriegn minister's telegram cause the FM is out to make himself a profit at the expense of his own nation's interests.)
IC: This telegram will be investigated to determine if it is forgery. If it isn't the perpetrator will be punished. But if it is, we will not be surprised to the low levels that Al Anbar has stooped to get away with aggression against their neighbors.

IC: The Fleet, upon orders abruptly turned around and headed back for the canal. There were more pressing matters than a small war in the middle east.
Meanwhile 3 billion dollars was paid to the government of Lower Egypt as long as they were to allow IH warships to traverse back into the Med.
In a private conference with the ambassador to the USIH President Anderson stated that if they were not allowed through they would be forced to fight their way through, and that hostilities at this point were best avoided.
However in case they became necessary B-2 Stealth Bombers began taking off from bases in Southern Italy and heading South East, holding position over the Eastern Med, to blast a path for the carriers to get through if that became necessary.

You may go through this time.

Private Communique, Al Anbar
The Republic of Eredron is prepared to fully recognize and support any "possible" attempts by Al Anbar to "consolidate administrative control" over the territories of the Saudi Kingdom, feeling stability in the Middle East is a major concern to the Republic.
We advise Mr. Hussein to accept this offer for mediation and discussion with the Consul of the Republic, on the future of the Middle Eastern region.
