Civil War: The clash of the Red and Purple

Tagio
18-10-2004, 22:51
"No more purges!! No more purges!!" was the resounding chant of a large crowd that had assembled on the steps of the Palace of Kings. Amongst the crowd members were those holding up stereos that blared "The International".

Standing on in the darkness was Princess Mary, the princess had changed much over the years, for with the power she wielded as her weak brother's controller had come corruption and with all the purges she had committed came hardness and callousness.

Standing next to Mary was her favorite lover, Willhuf Shalen, the commander of the Royal Guard. All of the guardsmen feared Shalen and his policy of "Discipline through Fear".

Staring coldly out at the rebels Mary's blue steel eyes narrowed "Kill them all darling" she whispered to Shalen "Kill every living thing in the streets of Tagistead. For we shall not be pleased until we purge them all". Shalen nodded and as an evil smile crept over his features "Of course my lady, we shall kill them all" after a few moments Shalen raised his voice "Guardsmen! Break up this assembly, leave none alive!!!" The guards nodded and turned to the crowd, then fired their assault rifles.

"They are shooting our people!!!" was the news that spread throughout the so called "Red Underground". The news was met with cold dread wherever it went, and the shock was especially hard for Kurt Bruasagnic, who had tried to keep the masses calling for an armed revolution quiet, but no longer. “Comrade Leader we can no longer ignore the cries of the people, we must arm and declare an independent state” said one man. Kurt shook his head “I had hoped for a peaceful change of government, but now Mary and her lover had made that impossible. How long till the room is ready Comrade Reinin?” Reinin looked at his watch “No more then 5 minutes Comrade Leader”.


“People of Tagio and all who hear this message! For too long have we suffered now under regimes that have not cared for the people! I had hoped for peaceful transaction of power with the coming election, but the purges of Princess Mary have made that impossible! It is because of this that I hereby declare an independent Soviet Socialist Republic of Tagio with its capital here in Ramona, though I ultimately aspire to make Tagistead our capital. I also declare myself, Kurt Bruasagnic, Comrade Leader of Tagio until this is over. I call for every freedom loving man, woman, and child to help us overthrow the evil regime of Mary and Shalen her lover and to unite Tagio under the banner of freedom for all! I ask for our brother Communists to help in our cause against the oppressors!”

In Tagistead the news was ill received by Mary. “Who does this mind warping pig think he is!!” she screamed “Shalen I want you to crush this petty rebellion in three months. Troops are no problem for I can simply persuade brother to make you supreme commander” Shalen smiled broadly “Of course my lady, we shall crush this puny rebellion within weeks, no one can save them from me”. “Good” replied Mary who had finally settled down and was trying to comb her hair “And if you mess this up Willhuf you can say good bye to my body and my bed!”

The Xeraphian Federation repudiates the callous disregard for the government's policy of purging their troubles away.

The Xeraphian Federation also condemns the rebels disregard for the rightful government, no matter how oppressive it might be.

The Xeraphian Federation stands ready to intervene in this matter on the side of the innocent people being indiscriminately killed, by both sides.

We are hereby offering humanitarian and medical aid to those needing.

We will be setting up MASH units just over the border. We request that the two sides in this conflict allow the wounded, hungry, and displaced access to our help.


respectfully,

Asmodeus, Lord of the Principality of Raavenii, Vice-CMDR, XF Forces, in the name of King Alaric

Notquiteaplace sees the way you treat the people, who were protesting, harmlessly as wrong and cruel. We will impose economic sanctions/an emabargo on the roaylists, and trade freely with the the reds. Otherwise we are not about to intervene for now. Despite the danger a woman like Mary poses to her own nation.

We urge she steps down and lets someone who cares about her people run the nation.

Purples (Mary) to Nycton: Thank you for your aid but my brother Erik rules Tagio, not me. I am just the head of the Public Instruction District and a princess.


Purples (Mary) to Notquiteaplace: I have dealt with the rebels in a manner benifting thier place in the social order, nothing more. Despite appearences I am not the ruler of Tagio, my brother King Erik XIII is the ruler.

Reds to Notquiteaplace: Thank you for your trade, we here in the Tagi SSR feel that we shall soon need many more weapons and supplies.

Thank you. Both Purples and Reds will be welcomed in our camps. We will, of course, defend ourselves and those who have come to us needing help.
We are not imperialists, but we will severely punish ANY nation that interferes with the XF's aims, in this case, to render help to the helpless.

Again, thank you for your generosity.

---Official Press Release from the Department of External Affairs---
The Democratic Republic of Arturistania condemns the purges and crimes against humanity caused by the government of Tagio against its people. The DRA also condemns the oppression of political freedoms and the arresting and executions of political dissidents. The government urges that Princess Mary and her faction cease these outrageous crimes immediately and until such actions end, the DRA is instituting a trade embargo against Tagio and urges nations to put military sanctions on the government until it stops abusing its people.

The Democratic Republic of Arturistania is willing to send peacekeepers and mediators if the government is willing to sit down with the rebels to help end this crisis and work out a plan to end this political oppression in exchange for an end to violence carried out by the insurgency. The government awaits a reply from the government of Tagio.

Official IC: We respect the sovereignity of any nation, but see the way you treat your people, persecuting for political beliefs, as wrong and unjust. We will do little more than keep an close eye on you, as dangerous dictators have a habit of deciding they want more people to oppress. However for now we will do nothing more.

Arturistania: while we agree with your postion, we ask you do not intervene with the internal affairs of a nation to this degree.

IC to rebel faction: We do not run a storefront, but we a re willing to sell you some equipment, at the following, ludicrously low prices to aid your cause. This is not a storefront, but an opporunity for you to stock up and have a chance in the oncoming war.

Our assault rifle, based on the M16 design, but with a range of 480 metres, and greatly improved reliability. The ability to fix scope, grenade launchers, silencers or laser sights is possible. These add ons costing $250 each (plus $30 per grenade) while the rifle is $4000 including 4 clips. costing $50 per addtional clip.

Our anti tank launcher capable of destroying any tank from behind and all but the heaviest from the sides. Weight, 22Kg, height, 1m, base: tripod, legs 50cm. Range 20-2000m. Rockets, 5Kg, cost $50000 plus $5000 per rocket.

Stinger missiles, yes, the classic design, at $25000 per piece.

This will not allow you too much on attacking you may realise, but should help you fend of threats to your people. That is my intention.

Reds to Arturistania: we of the Tagi SSR feel that Mary will not allow a peace confrence. It appears that war is only way to bring a better goverment to Tagio.

Official Statement from the Prime Minister

The Republic condemns this slaughter of innocent protestors. The communist forces in Tagio are now classified as 'freedom fighters' under our laws and are now eligible for material (IE: Weapons, vehicles, etc) support and should it be required, possible military support.

If the slaughter of communists continues, we will intervene.

All power to the People!

The Republic of Tiburon stands by its ally in supporting all those that spread the light of democracy to desolate lands. Communist or capitalist, economy shall be no barrier to protect the rights and freedoms of the people, and Tiburon promises to help Hattia and the people of Tagio overthrow their tyrannical regime by whatever means necessary.
