In the early hours of Octobre the 8th, paratroopers landed in the largest cities of Spain and Portugal. They parachuted/jumped out of helicopters and aircraft that carried them to their targets set up command posts and took control of Spains populated area's. The elite forces of the Empire prepared the cities for the arrival of the Vollmerian army.
The Empire's troops started their operation at the same time the paratroops got dropped. These forces hurried themselves into the Iberian mainland where they took over from the paratroops.
The Empire sent 3 Armeegruppes, Gruppe Nord for Northern Spain, Gruppe Center for the center and Gruppe Sud for the Southern parts of Spain and Portugal. A third Armeegruppe was kept in reserve, landed in Portugal and prepared itself for possible trouble.
They were followed by fighter aircraft, Each airport would get 2 geschwaders once they were secured by military personel. The airforce was ordered support the groundforces.
The forces were supplied by the Vollmerian Kriegsmarine, but not for long. This was not to be an occupation, the Empire wanted to add this land as a province. Prefferebly a self sufficient province led by a military figure. The Empire gave that job to General Roatta, one of the most experienced officers of the Vollmerian officercorps.
Roatta could also count on the services of one of the Emperors personal servants who could ask help from the homeland incase anyone used force against the new owners of the Iberian peninsula.
And with this General-Governement Iberia was born.
OOC: everyone has had his fun claiming RL land, now its my turn! Spain is free, i've been there(rl), i like it and i'm taking it.
