Civil War in Zanziik!
ZNN SPECIAL REPORT
"We interrupt this program to bring you some terrifying news. Today, rebels calling themselves the Sons of Diivon attacked the capitol city of Zanziik, Nypto. Diivon is a diety worshiped by a scarce few, or so was though until recently. Today it was revealed that nearly one third of the entire population of Zanziik worships the god. The SoD took over the capitol city and flushed the government out of the city. Nypto city mayor Jonothan Moran was shot to death after refusing to tell where the former government of Zanziik was hiding in exile. The SoD has declared that Zanziik belongs to them now, and that the former government will be hunted down and destroyed. The Zanziik Guard was called in to handle the rebellion early, but was put down by the furious rebels. The leader of the movement, who refused to be called by anything other than 'The One,' said that the reasons for the rebellion were simple. The former government was oppresive and did not allow the proper worship of Diivon. That will change now, as the SoD has pronounced that every Thursday be Diiok, a time to worship the Pagan god. It is believed that the former government is planning to revolt against these new leaders. More as it develops, good night, and thanks for watching this ZNN Special Report."
Secret Message sent to any Zanziik Supporters
"Esteemed Supporters of the former regime of Zanziik,
Today tragedy has gripped my party, as a rebel group siezed our nation's capitol from our very hands. We request help from any nations willing to support us, be it through force or supplies. We need to destroy this new group because they are radicals and pose a threat not only to Zanziik, but to the world. Please aid us in any way possible."

We thank you for your interest in our services. :)
Forces are being deployed as we speak. Nypto's airport will be taken from the rebels by nightfall.
***
The last Unimog was loaded into the CS-509 (C-17 Globemaster III,) and the engines started. The flight of '509's would need to refuel twice to get to Zanziik. Once in the middle of the ocean, and a second time in Sinear, where they had been only a month before.
The Opposition had suited up 600 of its best warriors to help the Mercenaries take back the Nypto International Airport. It was a vital position, for whoever controlled it controlled the flow of supplies into and out of the country. The Commanding Officer of the Group which was known as Attack Group Delta, was James Tibington. He was a Major in the Opposition and a brilliant mind, guarenteed to make General if he lasted that long. He was twenty-eight and very energetic and daring. He believed in the old traditions where a leader lead from the front, not the back. Thus he had a tremendous kill record in his four year career, and now would be no different. He strapped on his Jump Suit and went toward the C-17 that would take the troops near to the city. It was a standard jump and he was ready.
Bahbland
06-11-2004, 22:54
...later
The CS-509' began their drops. With the 600 Zanziiki volunteers, their force would be much greater, and the field would be that much easier to take. The first wave came in low and dropped troops at minimum level (first out the door was James Tibington, a very experienced leader for his age. Most of the Bahbians were in their late 30's.) Following his example, Bossman 1st Robert Paige was second out the door.
As was tradition, an E model 509 blared a song over loudspeakers. This drop's soundtrack was Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song."
The second wave dropped vehicles crews and gun crews, along with more troops. The third wave dropped vehicles, and the fourth almost any supply you could think of.
Resistance was light. This wasn't expected. The Rebels must be planning an attack. Bossman Paige ordered the cannons to placed in the Control Tower; they'd make their encampement there.
The Two CS-509C's, laden with 20mm gatlings and 40mm Bofors, strafed the area around the troop concentration, launched a few dozen flares, then followed the other 509's back to Bahbland. The field lit up like it was daytime... but with five phosphrous suns.
Minutes later, the Company's planes showed up. The CS-517's fired rockets at gun emplacements, guntrucks and barriers, while the troops charged to take the hangars.
Casualties;
-2 wounded by gunfire
-3 spranged angles
-1 broken leg
-1 broken arm

Secret IC:The ruling Trinity of the Dracun Imperium sat amongst themselves. Discussing the current situation in Zanzilk. Drake & Hailie had took the side of using a peace keeping force but Jason was telling them how they could establish an empire starting with Zankzilk.
Drake Spoke
"You dont understand Jason it would ruin our reputation with the entire International after all our talks of keeping world peace and such how could someone trust our word?"
Jason simply smiled and answered
"Yes but how can we keep world peace without not having a massive military and be feared by the war mongering nations?"
Niether of the two could respond as always Jason had won the debate. They had taken their first step towards the road of darkness.

Dominion troops held two small towns near the border; they weren't there to fight, but to keep the peace while humanitarian organizations did their jobs. To signify their neutrality, the flag of Austerriech, a double-headed black eagle on red, flew over both the towns. Neither government nor SoD forces were allowed within ten miles of either town, and so the Dominion forces had an easy time. The most the soldiers had to do was stop bar fights and market squabbles. Some of the men were glad for the easy duty, others disappointed because there was no chance to test themselves against other nations. Öberleftenant Heinrich Jäger was one of the former. He knew Austerreich was too small to play any serious role in anything, and was gald his leaders knew this as well. Their day would come, though...
The jump had gone well, especially for Major Tibington. He had inflicted heavy casualties after finding a gas pipe at the local gas station. He had used it as a makeshift flamethrower and held off sixty-three men until reinforcements had arrived. The Opposition's attack had gone fairly well, although losses were high. Six hundred had dropped in, and two hundred seventy-six had come back to their wives. But it was worth it. The Opposition now controlled the NIA and could hold the SoA by the neck. It was going well.

With the "unexpected" death of the two Trinity Leaders. Supreme Emperor Jason has declared himself emperor of the Imperium and now ruler of all of its properties. His first move unlike his predecesors is to create an empire worthy of respect. He has now ordered an invasion of Zanzilk in 'favor' of the rebels.
The 1st, 2nd, & 5th fleet, airforce & army are now on their way to 'help' the rebels take control of Zanzilk and defeat the evil menance that is the Zanzilk Goverment
The entire task force was under command of Supreme Comamnd Kycin.(Ki-sin). His short but expierenced battle career is wll known throughout Dracun and will now be even further increased with Operation Snake Bite.
He led the entire Task force in his Flag ship, the Eminence Battleship Rolling Thunder. He now watched over his crew and the taskforce as it made it's way towards Zanzilk,

In light of this new situation, I would like to reiterate my stance of neutrality. The last thing I want is war with the Dracun Imperium, a war that would likely end with the complete devastation of the Dominion. The soldiers of the Dominion will not fire on Dracun soldiers unless fired upon first, though I ask that Dracun men to not try to enter the "neutral zone," the ten-mile radius around each town.
In light of the new development of war with the Dracun Empire, the rebels and the opposition have gone to the dimplomacy table, to try and figure out their differences and face the enemy threat singlehandly. It is rumored that a treaty will be signed to end the civil war and fight the Draconian Empire as a single nation, Zanziik.
Dracun imperium
07-11-2004, 20:25
Jason smiled cruely. Everything was going to plan, already the nation helping Zanzilk had withdrawn from the war and has become neutral but of course this ten-mile radius would not be tolerated.
"Aide Esposito!" He shouted
The aide hurried in with a terrified look on his face.
"Yes Supreme Emperor?" he said shivering with terror
"Compose this message and send it to all involved parties" he began telling of the message and how all nations should withdraw or surrender.
"Yes mi'lord but what should happen if a larger nation interferes?"
"Well...we will deal with them as we see fit" and with that Jason dismissed the aide
Message to The Dommion of Austerreich
From the Dracun Imperium
You are hereby ordered to withdraw or surrender. This useless ten-mile zone will be dismissed now! Failure to do so will result in your troops complete destruction. Your choice is to join us or flee one or the other must be chosen.
Supreme Emperor Jason
Meanwhile the Fleet was now inside Zanzilk waters. The Aircraft carrriers unleashed their horde fighters to bombard military instalations while the destroyers & battleships bombarded the coast The troops were being prepared for landing while other air-dropped over strategic areas. Operation Snake Bite had now commenced
ooc:brilliant idea Zanzilk to unite your country do you have any form of instant messaging?
OOC: I have MSN and AIM. Do you?
IC:
Unified Zanziikian Broadcast to the Dracun imperium
"Supreme Emporer Jason of Dracun. Your request for withdrawla or surrender shall not be tolerated. Any nation that aids Zanziik in this useless war will be fully rewarded and thanked. We must not allow ourselves to be bullied by this menace to human nature."

07-11-2004, 20:55
ooc: both i will contact you on aim and do you want to keep this between me you and the dommion or the international?
IC:Jason smiled sinisterly as he read the message
"Begin the invasion now! Take all of Zanzilk and put it under my command!" he shouted knowing the entire palace could hear him and they would all rush to perform his order.
The Supreme Commmander recieved the order and ordered for the land invasion to begin. The Paradroppers had been ordered in from the Mainland while the landing transports began landing on the shore. The Fighters though had to land and refuel. Meahwile the Commander had ordered the D.E.C.(Dracun Elite Commandos) to be inserted throughout the nation and now close to 200 D.E.C.s were all over the nation causing trouble and commiting acts of guerilla warfare. This war will be fought on multiple fronts even Covert operations and that was why the Commander had been chosen to lead the invasion.
Austerreich
07-11-2004, 20:58
Dominion forces have done nothing to deserve this aggresion from the Dracun Imperium. We will keep within our ten-mile sphere of influence, and will not act except in self defense. We do not want a war with Dracun, but we will not back down while there are still innocents who need our help.
As UN delegate of Austerreich's region, The Free Lands of the Sunrise, I urge to not to attack Austerreich. Doing so will draw the whole of the Free Lands Combined Armed Forces into the conflict. I feel compelled to inform you that this is a body of some 85.4 million soldiers, equipped with top-notch weapons and very well trained. In the interest of peace, I implore you not to attack Dominion forces. Caledonian forces have been placed under my command, and the armies of Shandar and Malkyer are at high-alert status as we speak. Please do not make the wrong choice.

Jason was furious at The Austerreich's move of calling in allies and determination.
Imperial Order #0010
Anyone besides our own troops carrying a gun in our soon to be province of Zanzilk is to be treated as an enemy soilder no matter what the case. Only Children are to be spared. Also prepare the 10th Combat force for the Emperors own reasons.
The Order went out and now the war in Zanzilk was set for a bloody confrintation
ooc:Ok here we go. although thats alot of troops Overhwelimg force does not matter I did not want to have to use an overwhelming force to win this war. But if its nessecary I will do so...Plus once conquered the people will be treated as regular Dracun Citizens. Plus i doubt Zanzilk could hold that many troops:P
Major Tibington was no longer Major. He had been promoted to General in light of the new situation, and he was named Supreme Commander of the Unified Zanziikian Armed Forces. The UZAF held 300,000 able men, although about 100,000 of them were logistical staff. Every infantry troop held a M-203 pistol, and a M-102 assault rifle. The army was split into fifteen divisions of twenty thousand men, each in turn split into thirty three battalions of six hundred men. These were divided into platoons of ten men each, including one commanding officer. James Tibington would be going into battle with the first infantry, his second would be Major Willie Jonson, a sniper using a M-209 sniper rifle like twenty five thousand other men. His third was carrying a M-304 SAW machine gun. This was going to be fun.

From afar, the news of the brewing situation had reached the Empire. "meh..I see the petty bickering amongst nations of that world still continue", the Emperor said with a smile. "Yes sir, unfortunate that is", an aide responded. "Shall we intervien sir?", the aide questioned. "Not just yet, lets see how this progresses a bit longer", the Emperor stated. "And also, investigate as to the reason these nations continue to squable, surely it's not just for the power...there has to be another reason", he added. "At once my Lord", the aid stated...
Thank all of you for not withdrawing in the face of this tyrant. But I do ask that if the line should be breached, please do not bring more than ten million troops to Zanziikian soil, as more than that may destroy the environment. We need a place to live if we win the war.

IC: The UZAF knew that they could not stand to the might of Dracun scattered. They decided to pull all of their might back to the city of Mesho, on the Meshoian Peninsula, and pick their fight from there. The other cities were left desolate, and there was no trace to where the UZAF may be. The cities would fall without a fight.

The Dracun troops scattered throughout the small nation. Taking each city without resitance. Though in a few scattered areas riots broke out but were quickly quieted. U2s flew over the sky trying to find the missing army but were unsucesful in locating the missing army.
Supreme Commander Kycin thought about his options. He could launch an assault on the remaing city of Mesho or build up his defenses in his captured cities. He decided with the possbility of an interference with other nations on Zanzilk's side he ordered for all troops to create defenses around the cities that were captured. He also ordered a blockade around the Island nation. As he spoke the task force began doing as he said. He then ordered every possible fighter available in the air to locate and destroy the missing army

The Arctic Badlands will be immediately sending 5,000 of our best troops from the Army, Air Force, and Navy to assist. General Thomas Sway will be leading them.
Sincerely,
Emperor Damian Duman
The UZAF had instilled martial law in the city to prevent riots from the poor supplies. The city now used a duck and cover technique, hiding in any building when the cities sirens went off signifying air units nearby. This gave the city a deserted look when the scouts of Dracun went by the city. The cities only hope was to wait for reinforcements from the Land of Relaxed or elsewhere. They prayed against hope that Dracun would incur their wrath.
The Arctic Badlands
07-11-2004, 22:27
Arctic Badland forces are now arriving on the western coast of Zanziik near Mesho. They await orders from Zanziik officials on what to do next.
We have with us:
50 RAH-66 Comanche Helicopters
100 AH-1Z SUPER COBRA ATTACK HELICOPTERS
100 M1A2 ABRAMS MAIN BATTLE TANKS

General David Kester of the Shandari Army had been named Supreme Commander of FLCAF troops in Zaniik, all told about twelve million men. Well, they weren't exactly in Zaniik yet. Dominion forces had pulled out of the towns they held, and had regrouped offshore with the 11th, 14th, 15th, and 21st CAF Naval Task Forces. Right now, the bulk of the CAF's power was about two and a half miles off the northeast coast of the country, near the desert city of Kingon. Too many, he thought as he looked over intel reports. Too many enemies. He already two regiments of Malkyeri Royal Marines and one regiment of Dominon troopers on the ground, spread out through the desert, scouting and building a perimeter. He figured he'd need to replace the Dominion forces soon. Austerreich had a good reputation here among the locals, or so he'd been told, because of their unwillingness to back down from their humanitarian goals. He wanted them to be in the lead elements when he attacked Kingon. Maybe some of the locals will help. I've got to figure out how to get a message to the Zaniik leadership. He sighed and picked up his phone.
"Mr. Mowenstein, prepare for Operation Lysander. Code Blackbeard."
"Aye Aye, Sir. Right away, Sir."
As the massive fleet began to bombard Dracun coastal defences, Kester wondered if this would be a war worth the cost.
OOC: I'm going to be doing all posting for Shandar, Austerreich, Medinat, and Malkyer for now.

An officer reported the news of a deserted city of mesho to the Supreme commander.
"It's not deserted, but in hiding...Order an airstrike on the city lets see how deserted it realy is shall we?" The Supreme Cmmander said smiling, he then continued "Get me more troops from the Emperor send a message that more troops are needed to perform an easy victory"
"Yes sir" the Officer walked away
With the Supreme Commander order dozens of Monsoon Bombers headed for the city of Mesho to bombard the city.
Meanwhile the troops continued to 'dig in' to the cities as small bunkers and forts were built along the city perimiter.
ooc: you need to fight my navy first Shandar. We blockaded it
The sirens sounded again, but this would be the last time. The loud roar of huge engines was heard throughout Mesho, and the bombers can into sight. The city had a small airport, and during the few days of hiding, engineers had been fitting small weapons onto the agile airplanes. The pilots were woken and scrambled, ready to defend their last chance with their lives. Most had only handheld weapons fixed so that they worked remotely. One plain had their biggest chance of all. A vulcan cannon. The pilot of the plane holding the mini-gun was very obvious. James Tibington sat in the plane at the front of the six plane formation, ready to shoot all enemies of Zanziik to hell.
The Alastdorian governemnt wishes to help in the mop-up actvities. We will be sending in a a marine expiditionairy force on elapac hovercraft. As well a paratrooper regiment flown on c-5 aircraft. We are readying attack craft. Including 8 B/A-12 Avenger II aircraft and 12 A-12 Thunderbolt II assault planes. We will arrive in the Carrier Task force D.R.A.S Nile in aproximatley 5 days.

The Bombers arrived and instantly began bombarding the enemy held city. But as they arrived 'EPs' arrived and began shooting down the bombers. Even with the A-A missiles the bomber were no match for the impresive and overwhelming number of fighters. But as they were shot down as they were trained to do they chrashed into enemy building to do a lasting damage.
Meanwhile Jadon got word for the need of reinforcments.
"Take the 10th Combat Force and invade Austerreich. We will distract Zanzilk allied forces by invading his ally. They willl be forced to deal with both invasion and it will be tiresome. Also take as many troops and ships as we can and launh a full out invasion onto the city's captial take it at all costs!"
-----------
With the order of the Emperor Hundreds of thousands of troops were being mobilized for transport to Zanzilk for a final and devastating assualt.
OOC: damn, didn't think about that. sorry, i'm still pretty new to the forums.
IC:
Several hours before the bombardment
Vice Admiral Alexander Vostov was in command of the joint Medinat-Shandar fleet that was forming near the northeast coast of Zaniik. Their job was to enage the Dracun navy long enough for the CAF Naval Task Forces to slip in and drop a couple of army groups into the desert near Kingon. Vostov had some 40 warships under his command, including four Machera class nuclear aircraft carriers. He'd positioned those at the center of his fleet, ringed by eight V89 SSN submarines. Beyond that lay the bulk of his fleet, destroyers, cruisers, and battleships. He had another six subs running picket at the edge of the battle group, with twelve destroyers ready to back them up at a moment's notice.
One of the men operating the radio called him over. "Sir, message from Supreme Commander Kester."
"Thank you, Mr. Rienhold." He took the phone. "Sir?"
"Listen, my AWACs are picking up a sizable battle group of Dracun naval vessels. We count eighty ships, but there's probably more. They don't seem to be on an intercept course, so I want you to engage them. Element of surprise and all that. Here's what I need to know: can you hold them? There's still time to call off the assault if not."
"Don't worry, sir. We can hold. Just, try to be quick. I don't know how long we can hang in...I don't think the Caledonian or Shenarian ships are going to arrive in time."
"Shit. Oh well. I've ordered the aerial insertion of a few regiments of Malkyeri and Dominion men. Hopefully they made it through. Anyway, I've got to go give the men a pep talk. Good luck, old friend."
"Thank you, sir. I think I'll be needing it." As he hung up the phone, an orderly rushed in, shouting that the picket subs had engaged and probably sunk two Dracun vessels. The men on the bridge cheered. Don't get cocky now, he thought, just when the fight's beginning. More and more reports were coming in of fighting on the BG's edges. Here on the bridge of the carrier Freedom, Vostov couldn't yet see the fighting, but he knew that could change very quickly. Vostov ordered his carriers to launcher their F-22 Raptor fighter/bombers to try and take out enemy ships. Another orderly appeared behind him and said,
"Supreme Commander Kester says they're moving, sir. Only a few hours now."

With the order of the Emperor Hundreds of thousands of troops were being mobilized for transport to Zanzilk for a final and devastating assualt.
Field Marshal Gustav Rhine was in overall command of the defense of Austerreich, even though the Malkyeri and Medinat contingents outnumbered his four to one.
As he briefed his staff, as well as the foreigners, he outlined his plan for the defense.
"Austerreich is mostly mountains and Alpine forest. I suggest we hole up in the mountains, and make the Dracun bleed for every inch of ground."
One of the Medinat officers raised his hand:
"President Wood has asked me to inform you that Medinat is willing to take in any and all refugees from the Dominion."
"Excellent. Give him my thanks. Now, as I was saying," during this, a map lowered onto the wall behind him and he began to point out locations. "I suggest we station at one regiment in each city and sizable town, to engage the Dracun for as long as possible their. Then, we will use irregular forces, led by the three hundred Black Eye guards so graciously loaned to us by Queen Angela." He nodded to the Malkyeri general. "We shall use these guerrillas to attack the flanks. We don't want a direct confrontation yet, however. That will just waste men we will need later. Just kill as many as we can, then draw back into the forests and mountains. When they come for us, kill a few and retreat. We have an adequat system of tunnels so that it shouldn't be too hard to surround them in a thin ring; thenwe just shift the ring according to their attacks. The plan is simple, bleed them until they have nothing left. Questions?"
The officers all shook their heads, and with that the two million men of the FLCAF stationed in Austerreich prepared to defend this nation to the death.
OOC: dracun, I edited my last post, let me know if that's right.

Jason knew that his man sent of to Austerreich would probaly end up dead but they were a very elite army unit and would put up quite a fight they were the S.I.A. (Special Infiltration Army otherwise known as Guerillas) would be sent off and fight a war to distract Zanzilk's ally. The fleet though Jason was a little hesitant about but he knew Austerreich would fall eventualy but just not now.
Meanwhile a massive task force had been mobilized. It had been named Task Force Venom. It would not only reinforce the Dracun soilders there but it would launch a suprise assault on the enemy fleet coming very close to the Dracun Blockade.
Yes everything was going according to Jason Plan.

Now fully armed Dracun fighters were in the air moving on an intercept course to bombard the enemy feet. The Eminence Battleship opened fire on the approaching fleet with their massive guns. Meanwhile this transmission went on the open comm
Enemy fleet you have been hereby ordered to stop or the cities of Nypto capital city of Zanzilk & Mesho will be decimated by a massive cruise strike.
Destroyers and missile frigates as well as carriers prepared for the biggest Cruise strike Dracun had ever conducted.
"XO has the conn," said the captain.
"XO has the conn," replied the executive officer.
Captain Jans Harding left the bridge of the Shandari submarine Noord Caroline to go get a cup of coffee. Something was wrong, but he wasn't sure what. This whole naval campaign against the Dracun Imperium was going to well. Why hadn't that blockade sent ships against the FLCAF fleet as soon as they'd found out it was there? Their blockade outnumbered the fleet two to one, and they'd just sat there. Something was going to happen. Something very bad, and very soon...he just couldn't figure out what.
As a fierce naval and aerial battle was being waged, the following transmission was sent from the Presidental Palace in Medinat to Emperor Jason:
Emperor,
I have been informed of your threat against the innocent cities of Zaniik. Know this, that it was not us but you who began this war. As such, neither I nor my fellow leaders feel any compunction against repsonding in kind to such indiscriminate destruction. If you attack any city in Zaniik or Austerreich with cruise missiles, we will respond with a nuclear counter-attack. I will not inform you as to how many we have or will launch, as you do not seem impressed by numbers. Just know that not one brigade of Dracun troops will survive if you follow through with your threats. I hope you are not a suicidal man.
Sincerely,
President James Wood

Jason smiled "Ah the ego of such small nations" he said and then called for his cheif aide
"Yes sire?"
"Open up every silo in the Imperium as well as every submarine we own have them locked on in the Cities of Shandar if a missile is detected in our permiter unleash hell"
"Sire?"
"Do as I say or face death!"
"Yes sire forgive me your order will be distributed"
ooc:Be my guest to nuke Dracun but you see...you would loose your nation also..is it realy worth it.. I can surive you however can't you would loose your nation Think twice before using nukes and not only that hundreds of nations would bombard you three times over for using nuclear warheads. I suggest you don't do it plus it kills the rp
IC:As the standoff continued the Dracun Aircraft carrier of the Venom task force launched their fighters. They were now in striking range of the enemy fleet and so far had come undetected.
When the fighters arrived, they began reaking havoc upon the enemy fleet.
"Colonel Ramses, we have several Dracun fighters approaching the fleet. They've passed by us, and haven't fired. I think our active camouflage is working. Should we pursue?"
"Of course, captain. Knock those bastards out of the skies." With that, the 34th Malkyeri Ari Wing swung around out of their patrol sector and began to pursue the Dracun fliers.

IC: President Wood read the message through blurry eyes.
"This guy says that if we nuke him, he'll survive. Huh. He chastises our ego? But he's right in that he'll be able to destroy Shandar and Medinat too. Without them, the FLCAF falls apart, and this whole war ends in tragedy. Damn. He's right too about the other nations smashing us. Damnit! Frank, send a message to this Emperor. Tell him we'll back off on the nuclear threat if he does the same for the cruise missles. Shit, but why do we have nukes if we can't use them? And send a telegram to Maximillian. Tell him to hurry up on that support he was talking about!"

A single B-1B Lancer bomber was loaded with a 1 mega-ton Strategic Nuclear Missile, launched promply from the nearest Air-base to the Zanziik Situation, and headed with a mission to obliterate the fleet of the Dracun Imperium, and if the missile were to miss the B-1B had seven harpoon anti-ship missiles loaded just in case.. It would be a lonely flight, a thought-filled flight. However, in the end it might just pay off.

The Dracun taskforce Venom, moved at top speed to engage the enemy when they got in within striking range they opened fire together. They bombarded the enemy hoping to sink the enemy fleet. Both Dracun fleets moved to enclose the enemy fleet and destroy it once and for all.

The seventh attack-sub division moved in. Twelve Seawolves and two Typhoons. Bossman 2nd Hagar, XO of the Entrepreneur, grinned as he looked into the periscope. The Dracunian battleship sat there innocently. He sipped his coffee.
"All weasles targetted?" he spoke into the radio. Jackalopes 2 through 12 responded with affirmatives.
"Yeties one and two, are you prepared to go shopping?" He queried.
The two BA-202's (B-52's) Crewbosses responded; "Yes sir, we'll get the bread."
"Griffins one and two, are you prepared to go shopping?" He queried.
The two Typhoon Bossmen responded; "Yes sir, we'll get the milk."
"Don't forget the eggs. And don't use the cell phone." Hagar said uneasily. That was the code to commence the attack.
At that moment, the Typhoons rose to -5 meters, and launched a bunch of Tomahawks at targets on Zanziik and the Dracun fleet. The Dracunis sent their frigates after them. The B-52's came within radar range and fired a variety of missiles. They banked and hit the throttle. Two minutes later the Seawolves fired a full salvo into the Dracunian fleet. Ten subs made excessive noise leaving at full speed, while two Seawolves crept silently to the beach...
***
The subs finished off-loading their cargo; ammo, food and medical supplies. They returned to the murky deep.

Austerreich,
We are horrified to learn of your recent invasion.
Unfortunately we are in the process of restructuring and
re-equipping or military forces. Elements of the 4th and
11th regiments are being dispatched immediately,
including twelve companies of Slaytanicca-manufactured
Soviet Bloc model ST-21 tanks, each of thirty tanks, and
ten companies of infantry, each of five hundred soldiers.
These will arrive by air transport to a drop-zone of your

More troops will be mobilized with haste.
All our wishes,

It took almost an hour for him to get there, and after flying low some of the ways and over the Zanziik Mountain Range, the B-1B Neared the coast closest to the Dracun fleet. He opened all radio frequencies suddenly, speaking as he locked onto the Dracun Fleet with the nuclear missile
Pilot: "Suprise, Suprise, Dracun fools..."
The bomb-bay doors of the B-1B Lancer opened, and the 1 Mega-Ton Strategic Nuclear Missile dropped a few feet and launched toward the Dracun Fleet, heading for the biggest ship in the center.
OOC: German Empire, I am posting for Austerreich and all other FLCAF force in this thread. Welcome aboard. Thanks.

In Dracun
Dracun was now versing a half a dozen nations. But Jason continued to order the invasion to press on nothing will stop him...nothing
In Zanzilk
The battleships in desperation shot towards the Lancer hoping to destroy it before the nuke launched and battleships battled furiously throughout the sea. Then the Dracun subs underwater went into action as a few friagtes and battleships were hit by torpedos. They searched and found a few enemy subs and opened fire with their own torps.
The battle was now in an even stance only God could tell which way it would go.
In Austerreich
The fleet under command of Admiral Sawyer arrived and began a blockade of Austerreich. While transport Planes flew over Austerreich aand began dropping paratroopers all over Austerreich to begin the guerilla campaign.

The Nuclear Missile somehow was hit, the impact damaging its locking mechanism as it mistakingly targeted the Allied Fleet, auto-correcting itself as it flew towards the Allied Fleet instead of the Imperials.
The B-1B Lancer was hit before it could close its bomb-bay doors, the targeting system for the weapons damaged beyond repair as the pilot hit the trigger and all seven Harpoon Class Anti-Ship missiles launched, some going this way and that, some locking onto the Allied Ships themselves, and one launching prematurely to blow the B-1B Lancer to bits

"Sir! Something on radar! A B-1; and she's cruisin'!"
Hagar looked up. "Advice, Cheif?"
"Probably a penetration bomber sir, and she's probably packing heat."
Hagar nodded. "Take us deep, helm! 50 meters above the rocks!"
The 10 subs dove at emergency speed. There was a flash as the the surface of the ocean boiled away. The subs jerked as the shockwave hit them. A terrific roar could be heard, everywhere. There was no escape from it. The SONAR operators through off their phones, which screached with static. The subs jerked again as air and water rushed in to fill the gap.
Hagar climbed back into his chair. Water was leaking through a few cracks in the hull.
"Bring us up, helm! Radio Co-"
"-Can't sir! Radio's on the fritz!"
The subs surfaced to see a mushroom cloud disintegrating into the atmosphere.
"Damn... Damn and Hell." said Hagar.

Arctic Badlands,
The UZAF High Command wants you to send your men towards the capitol of Nypto and try to stir up trouble for the Imperials. We have news that some reinforcements may be coming and we need the NIA to hold the fighters.
5,000,000 of the best soldiers from The Arctic Badlands military are gathered on the shore near Mesho, awaiting their orders.
General Thomas Sway sits in a 50 RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter, where he is prepared to command the troops as to what to do next.
A voice comes on the radio.
"General Sway... do you copy?"
He quickly responds. "This is Sway... I copy. Have orders arrived?"
"The UZAF High Command has asked you head to the capital city of Nypto."
"Let them know we're on our way!"
"Roger that.."
Gen. Sway grabs his megaphone, jumps out of the helicopter, and turns to address his trrops.
"Okay everybody the time has finally come. Our orders are in. We are to head to immediately head to the capital city of Nypto. However, I want all Navy personel & their ships to wait here. As for Army & Air Force personel, we're off to Nypto."
The General hops back into the helicopter. It, and all the other aircraft, takes off, speeding towards the capital city.
Dracun imperium
08-11-2004, 02:34
The Flash and then the wave from the nuclear warhead itself was able to knock out 8 more Dracun ships and 10 aircraft. But the fleet assault was only 1 part of the entire reinforcement plan. Now after a few minutes delay Military transport helicopter flew over the battle. There was hundreds of them each able to carry 30 men. They were heading for the last remaining cities. The last move would be an all out assault to devastate and capture the remaining cities owned by Zanzilk. This war was coming to close whether Dracun one the naval war or not. Then the eminence battleships launched their own Inferno Helo's to help bombard the enemy fleet. They took off like a swarm off hornet unleashing their deadly stingers.
Total Damages so Far:
8 Eminence Battleships-gone
8 Eminence Battleships-2 light damage, 4 Medium damage, 2 Severe Damage
9 Frigates- Sunk
2 frigates- Light damage
4 Lightning Carriers-sunk
2 Lightning Carriers- Medium damaged
10 Destroyers/Missile Frigates-Sunk
4 Destroyers/Missile Frigates-1 Light Damage, 2 Medium Damage, 1 Severe Damage
100 Aircraft Destroyed
9,845 Naval Personel dead
893 Military Personel dead
The UZAF Engineers Corp was in charge of getting the key buildings in Mesho back up to working capabilities. The bombers had crashed into many buildings, although the most important, and seriously damaged, was the bank of Zanziik. The economy would suffer horribly after this was over. The makeshift war planes, along with the F-22's from Anagonia, had managed to take down all the bombers significantly easily, although General Tibington had taken two bullets through the leg and somehow still managed to take 4 of the bombers down before landing and immediately fainting from immense pain on the ground. The allied fleet's area had been hit with a horrible catastrophe. The mushroom cloud was clearly visible all over Zanziik, and the people feared the worst. They would not surrender though. They would take their own lives before being ruled by an empire.

We further implore you to withdraw your forces from

IC: OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE TO DRACUNIAN IMPERIUM
Jason,
This is Supreme Overlord of The Dominion of Zanziik, Michael. This war has been far too costly for the both of us, and our allies. I am coming to you today, as a human. I wish to appeal to both of our human sentiment to ask that you withdraw all Imperial forces from my nation. You have suffered massive losses, and we have lost nearly four thousand civilians! This war has also completely devastated our economy, turned our ocean near Kingon to toxic waste, and destroyed many fair chance on life for both of our peoples. I wish to forget this incident and leave it in peace. Have we both not suffered enough?
Dracun imperium
08-11-2004, 02:56
Jason grew so furious that he had taken a gun and shot his aide espisito.
"Tell this Supreme Overlord will have a temperary ceasefire. We will have a peace conference scheduled in A neutral nation get to it now someone!" The officers and aides ran out the door to send the comm.
To the Supreme Overlord
Ares does not favor us today though if we wish to we would have eventualy taken control of your pathetic nation! A ceasefire has been declared for now! Schedule a peace conference in a neutral nation failure to find one who we approve will result in the destruction of the Ceasefure and the was shall begin again![/i]
The ships recieved their orders and fighters returned to their carriers, battleships cease to fire and the Transports headed towards the nearest Dracun Control city.

Thank you for your very humane acceptance of the offer. The Conference shall be held on the neutral ground of Pentova, (agreed upon by TG with him.) If this is agreeable to you, please reply.

Official Goverment Response
Only the nations of Zanzilk and Dracun will be attending! If any other nation decides to but in on our negotiations, they will be the reason Zanzilk will become a new province of the empire.
Supreme Emperor Jason
Official Communique to the Dracun Imperium:
Emperor Jason,
Should not a representative from Auterreich be permitted at the negociation table, as they were the victims of your unjust aggresion? Because I wish this war to be over, and do not wish to insult either party, I will not insist. However, I do hope you take to heart the murderous losses suffered by both the CAF and your nation, and remember those who died the next time you want to begin a war.
President James Wood,
Confederacy of Medinat
A few CAF soldiers sat in the desert near Kingon, awaiting their orders. They'd heard that Zaniik had sued for peace, but no one was really sure of anything. Most of the fleet had been vaporized in the nuclear blast, and the troops on the ground were isolated and surrounded. One of the men, a young soldier from Austerreich, sat staring towards where the mushroom cloud had been. Thinking of lost comrades, and the Dracun soldiers still in his homeland, he asked no one in particular,
"Why?"
Misunderstanding him, a Malkyeri lieutenant passing by responded:
"Son, ours is not to question why, ours is but to do and die."
In the distance, the FLCAF fleet began to limp home.

The letter was recieved from Shandar and the emperor grew furious at Shandar and misinterputed everything
How dare he try to tell me how to run my nation!
"Officer Charles!"He shouted
"Yes sire?"
"Order all troops stationed in Zanzilk to launch a full assault on Zanzilk remaining cities. We will take Zanzilk once and for all. Order the Supreme Commander to due all that is nessecary to defeat the enemy I will not be told how to run my own nation!" He yelled the anger clear in his voice.
"At...once..sire!" he said bowing terrified for his life
The Supreme Commander recieved his orders and ordered for a cruise strike on CAF Military forces while telling them to begin the naval war all over again. The Fleet opened fire on the enemy fleet hoping to get the element of suprise. Meanwhile throughout Zanzilk the Dracun forces dropped in from the previous reinforcement moved to assault the last remaining city controlled by Zanzilk. The cruise missiles took off for the CAF armed forces while fighters moved to assault also. The inital invasion force however stood in the cities to maintain dominance in Zanzilk. It was time for a lightning strike victory or defeat one way or another this war was about to end.......
In Auterreich the guerilla campaign began the troops split up into insurgent squads bombed cities, and convoys with RPGs The fleet continued to blockade Auterreich under Admiral Sawyer's Command.
President Wood took the news numbly. The Dracun Imperium had violated the cease-fire, because of a misinterpreted letter. The CAF fleet had been ambushed, under flag of truce, and destroyed! Only a few submarines and aircraft had escaped. The ground forces in Zaniik, numbering about two and a half million men, couldn't possibly stand against the renewed assault for long. The Imperium was stepping up its actions in Austerreich, but because of the guerrila nature of the war there, they'd had made any measurable advances there. The worst part was, with the CAF fleet gone, the Allies would have to muster their own national fleets, leaving their shores undefended. There was only one option...No. Not yet.
One of Wood's aides was trying to cheer him up, and said, "Don't worry, sir. The FLCAF still has almost sixty million men we can throw at them."
"Sixty million sons to be sent to their deaths, Roger. I have to find a way out of this another way, if I can."
As his aide left, he picked up the phone and dialed the Malkyeri embassy.
"Could you connect me with the Royal Palace, please? Thank you. Ah, Your Highness, it's good to speak with a friend in these dark times. Listen, I know we're all straining under the renewed assault, but I need to borrow some Black Eyes. Say, thirty. The best assassins you have..."
OOC: Haven't you already lost about three quarters of your fleet? How did you keep your men's moral up to keep the attack up?
IC: Address to Allied Nations
"We are sad to hear that one insignificant letter could restart such a gruesome conflict. But we will not, and cannot, let this destroy our resolve. We must continue this war until the enemy is either driven from our soil, or we are all dead. There are but two choices for our nations. Win or lose. I urge Austerreich and all of the CAF and all of our allies fighting for the common good against this tyrant, do not give up hope, for hope is lost. Let your hatred of the usurpers of your native land run through you, and use it. Harness it and destroy. CONQUER THE ENEMY WITH YOUR INABILITY TO SURRENDER! DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE."
Bahbland
09-11-2004, 02:27
Bahbland has had enough of this war. We demand Dracun go to the negotiation tables, and allow all involved nations to participate! If they should decide not to, we have three orbitting K-stations,* and two missile submarine divisions within attack range!
Tables or craters! It is your choice!
*Each holding [CENSORED] five meter rods of Tungsten, ready to go in nine seconds. We can take out your entire Navy, or if we should choose, all your coastal defenses. Or maybe we should put a large crater in the center of each of your mile-long airfields.
OOC: I'm not using my fleet. I'm trying to make do with the men I have on the ground.
The CAF men in Zanziik had spread themselves out, covering a lot of territory, but with no real concentration of force. Their primary objective for now was to survive, and to do that they had to hide from the Dracun armies.
***
A new directive was circling through the resistance in Austerreich: Capture and kill enemy officers. Terrorize them as much as possible. Scare them out of Austerreich.
***
No one noticed the thirty men, getting off of different ships on different days. The makeup they wore covered the black tattoos around their eyes. They traveled in groups of one or two, avoiding notice. Their goal for now was simple: find the Imperial Palace and observe its security procedures. Look for a weakness. Phase two would come later.
OOC: I meant Dracun's fleet, not yours.
IC: Bahbland,
We fear that this threat may bring a doom upon Zanziik that we do not wish. Please save your weapons until the last straw, and if they are needed, then drop them. The drop of them now will probably cause a massive attack on Zanziik or Austerreich, or both.

The Dracun general known only as Blackeye Supreme Commander Kycin's personel general observed the battle as it went. The Dracun forces were versing a army that outnumbered them by a few hundred thousands. Not much though and the enemy tatic was a very smart one but a dumb move. The goal wasn't to destroy the enemy forces it was to capture the remaining city. They pounded the enemy lines hoping to enventualy break through.

The sensor is just smart enough to identify your target, where it guides itself with four small maeuvering vanes. There is no explosive. The kinetic energy released upon impact with the earth is the weapon.
And if you think that is future tech, I demand you refrain from using microwave ovens and plasma screen TV's! ;)

If you are threatening military action, Dracun, I'd advise against it. This would be a third front for you to fight on , and you could be easily defeated. Already your fleet is in shambles. Your military has taken thousands of casualties.
Also, military service is compulsory in Bahbland. A good 9% of our population is currently in the front line services. Gun ownership is compulsory.
On second thought, why don't you try it. Spread your forces thin and attack a third, fiercly patriotic, nation.

ooc:thanks artic
OOC: dracun, is your fleet blockading the entire country? because if they aren't, then artic badlands and the german empire can land troops. If they are, then they are spread very thin. A very thin naval blockade is not much better than no blockade at all.
The two hundred F-22 Raptors donated to the UZAP (Unified Zanziik Air Patrol) by Anagonia scrambled from the Mesho Domestic Airport to take down the bombers.
General James Tibington had recovered from his bullet wounds amazingly quickly. It was thought that some of the blood of the Kellington Tzardom ran through him. He was a strong candidate for the Supreme Overlord's job if the current one didn't work hard at it. The general was ordering his men from the aircontrol tower at MDA when suddenly a bomb dropped from one of the Monsoons' fell on it. Everyone inside perished immediately due to temperature of up to five thousand degrees celcius. The nation dropped into a state of mourning at the loss of the general, and his son, Jonson, of seven was inducted iton the Armed Child Guard (ACD) and named platoon general due to his high skil and aptitude. This was the future of Zanziik if there was one.
In Dracun:
Comanelle looked through the field glasses from his hidden alcove towards the Palace. Searching...There! They'd found their weakness.
In Austerreich:
Maximillian broadcast a message in the early morning from his hiding place somewhere in the mountains. It was essentially Zanziik's address to the allies, only with different words and more hope. Some civilians heard it, and thought him a fool for defying Dracun. Others heard it, and mourned for what was lost. Still others, when they heard it, disappeared into the woods and mountains to find the resistance and learn how to fight back against the invaders.
In Zanziik:
The FLCAF men had begun to wage a guerrilla war against the Dracun Army, much like their comrades in Austerreich. They would attack convoys and camps, kill a dozen or two enemies, then disappear into the wilderness before the Dracun command could effectively repsond. As outnumbered as they were, fear and surprise were their greatest weapons.

Back in The Arctic Badlands, Emperor Damian Duman, with five other men, sit at a table in his office. The four men are Minister of Foreign Affairs, Conan Freeman, and the head officers from all three branches of the military.
"Gentlemen", starts Damian, "I believe you all know why I have asked you here this evening. As we know, things aren't going too well in the nation of Zanziik. I have pledged to help them in anyway possible & have already sent 5,000 men over there. However, I feel that we could do more to help them. That is why I have gathered you here to address this issue. Conan, how are things currently going over there?"
Conan Freeman clears his throat. "Well.... things aren't going too well. Attempts of negotiating a peaceful resolution have failed. Violence continues. It's getting bad over there. Also, General Sway is anxiously awaiting orders. We've got word from Zanziik officals that they want him to continue leading troops to Nypto."
"Tell Sway I want him and his men to continue on to Nypto then.", says Damian.
"Yes, sir.", Freeman replies. "I think it might be best we also send more troops over there. Twenty to forty thousand, at the least, I'd say."
"Waaaaait just a minute there. Don't you think that's just a little much?", exclaims General William Stanton McMann, head officer of the Air Force. "What's the big deal about this Zanziik place anyway?!? Come on... we should just bring those 5,000 men home, if you ask me. Besides we need men here are home to keep this empire safe!"
Damian looks over at McMann. He stares at him for a few moments before speaking. "William, William, William.... don't worry. We have enough men here at home to keep this nation secure. With our compulsory military service, there is a surplus of able-bodied men ready to protect The Arctic Badlands. Now listen... when Damian Duman pledges to help an allied nation, he doesn't turn his back on them when they need help the most! I am ordering that more men be sent over to help defeat Dracun forces in Zanziik."
"How many?", asks Freeman.
"Fifty thousand.."
---
Back in Zanziik, Gen. Thomas Sway is eating his dinner when Major Bill Black walks over to him. Sway swallows his food & looks up at the Major.
"Sir..." Major Black salutes Sway. "I've received word from back home."
"Ah, excellent! What is it?"
"We've been ordered to continue on our mission towards Nypto. Oh, and more men are being shipped over. They should arrive around tommorow afternoon."
"Anything else?"
"No, sir!"
"Okay, then. Thank you. You are dismissed."
Black & Sway both put their hands up in salute and put them down in unison. Major Black walks off. Then, Sway picks up his megaphone and addresses the troops.
"Well everyone we've gotten orders from back home. We are to continue on to Nypto. Let's get going!"
The Zanziikians in Mesho heard that the Artic Badlands' troops would keep pushing towards the capitol. This brought them out of their mourning for the former general, and made them look towards the future. There was hope now. It was slim, but the raptors from Anagonia and the unrelenting aid from their allies had pulled them through the worst and brought them back towards the light of peace. They decided to try and offer the Imperium with a treaty again.
"Dracun Officials, this war has been far to costly. We suggest that we try at the peace conference again, without the interruptions of other nations. We will meet in the nation of Pentova alone. Myself and your leader, to hammer out a treaty to end this bloodshed. Please consider it."

OOC: I am not sure if you are talking to me so.....
IC: "Kangsburg, your offer is very generous and most accepted, but I must say, they are more than mere rebellion. These tyrants are an occupying force and we wish them off our soil in peace, but that may not be acheived, thus your forces are accepted, but please keep them on hold near Mesho waters, as close as you can get without annoying the blockade."

ANY NATION THAT DOES NOT CEASE THIS FIGHTING WILL BE OBLITERATED, NO MATTER THE COST OF WHAT HITS ANAGONIA. WE WILL USE THE FOLLOWING OF OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL TO DESTROY YOUR CIVILIZATION:

They are now awaiting for radio orders.
Official Statement to Allies of Zanziik
"This offer of aid from Arctic Badlands chokes us with joy (two deaths!) We will most cheerfully accept any aid in rebuilding our nation to it's former prosperity and glory.

To Zanziik Officals:
We are pleased to see that this war is finally coming to an end.
I will be sending as much medical assistance as necesary to Zanziik. Currently, I am sending over 100 highly-skilled doctors, medical supplies, and food for civilians who have been severely harmed by the recent warfare. If anything else is needed, please contact me. We're happy to help!
Also, I would like to keep 3,000 men in Zanziik. If it is okay with you, I'd like to form a military base. In case war ever breaks out in your land again, my men will be there ready to assist. I'd like to keep Gen. Sway in charge of the troops.
Finally, I'm very interested if we could have an exchange of embassies. I've already selected someone to serve as Arctic Badlands ambassador to Zanziik.
-Emperor Damian Duman
All orders to fight against Dracun forces were halted as soon as the rumor of peace began to spread. The FLCAF forces in Zanziik began to move slowly towards a central gathering spot, in order to be picked up and returned home. In Austerreich, the resistance, both military and civilian, had entered a dormant state, not wishing to provoke Dracun forces.
Government of Zanziik,
First of all, I offer my greatest sympathy to your nation and people after this trial of arms. As the entry into the war of the Free Lands Combined Armed Forces no doubt prolonged the war and increased its intensity, I feel that I am morally obligated to offer what help I can to rebuild Zanziik. Though most of our joint treasury was exhausted by the conflict, I have no doubt that the governments of Austerreich, Shandar, Medinat, and Malkyer would be glad to give what aid they can. You can expect construction crews, medical personnel, and most importantly, cash, when this war is officially over. Having said this, I feel I have to ask you for two things.
The first is simply a few acres of land for our soldiers who will not be coming home after this war. The citizens my region would greatly appreciate this gesture. Please inform me as soon as possible as to your response, whether this is agreeable or not. These men shed blood for Zanziik, a nation few of them had even heard of, and I know they would be honored if you let them rest there, next to their fallen comrades.
The second item is also simple, though not so romantic. I would like to establish an FLCAF military base in Zanziik. These two or threethousand men would act as first responders, in order to provide a primary defense for Zanziik during the reconstruction. Again, please let me know your answer as soon as possible.
Again, the hearts and thoughts of every citizen of the Free Lands of the Sunrise is with Zanziik and her people at the close of this unfortunate war.
President James Wood,
Confederacy of Medinat
Commander-in-Chief,
Free Lands Combined Armed Forces

Seeing that there is an (Apparent) cessation of hostilities, the grnadmaster proposes that the 10th be deployed as a neutral peacekeeping force. The Hospitallers are very experienced as peacekeepers and aid workers.
(FYI The fleet is within a [NS] day's sail to Zarziik shores.
UZNN SPECIAL REPORT
"Today, after the many kind words and actions of nations that have probably never even heard of the dominion of Zanziik before this horrible war, the Supreme Overlord of the Dominion has issued the following statement;
'Allies, and Dracun, I bid you all welcome, in this time of a shaky possibility of freedom for Zanziik, and the end of bloodshed for her allies and enemies alike. We hope that the peace negotiations in Pentova go well, for this war has been to costly for us all. To Dracun, the time that is best for us to go to the table, is the time that is best for you. Pentova is flexible in her time schedule as they hope for peace as well. To all of our trusted allies, we thank you to the full extent of our lives for your help and aid, and you can be sure of the same from us. All of your requests are being quickly followed through, and military bases are being established for Arctic Badlands and Shandarinian soldiers. The fourteen acres of land next to Malak Lake have been named an official honorary grave for any who fought and died in this war that wish to remain here. May we acheive peace, and may it bring us all prosperity.'
A truly touching speech. I too, as the rest of the nations involved in this conflict most assuredly do also, hope wholeheartedly for peace between the nations. Thanks for watching this UZNN special report.
if this war is still going i will send Zanziik: 25,000 troops, 10 B-52s, 25 F-22 raptors, 100 tanks, 50 emergency vehicles, 30 Anti-Aircraft Guns, and 1 emergency B-52 with a Nuclear Bomb

To Zanziik Officials:
Thank you for allowing us to form a military base within your nation. Our men will be there whenever you may need them. If you'd like a military base within The Arctic Badlands, just ask. We have plenty of space for one.
Also, Sir Xavier Bush has been selected as ambassador to Zanziik. We've prepared an embassy building here & would like to know who you'll be sending as ambassador?

Sir Jonothan Bils has been selected to represent Zanziik in your nation, and a military base would be preferred but not required.

The Supreme Emperor heard rumours and soon became facts that Military Bases had been established.
He quickly composed a letter
The creation of a military base will violate one of the many terms we wish to bring to the table to end the bloodshed. We hope you will cancle the ability to build any military bases. For one of our terms is the creation of military bases in both our countries to ensure no other war will break out...

Imperial Communique to Supreme Emperor Jason:
Emperor,
Would it be possible to open seperate negotiations to discuss the removal of Dracun troops from Austerreich? Though I hate to admit it, I feel that the situation there has become a stalemate. As much as it pains me to admit it, the Allied forces in the Dominion are insufficient to push your troops out militarily. Besides this, I do not, under any circumstances, wish to restart this war. As such, please consider seperate negotiations to address this issue. Thank you for you time, and I hope their will be nothing but peace between us in the future.
Signed,
Emperor Maximillian I

Sir Jonothan will be welcomed with open arms into The Arctic Badlands. As for the military base, we have some open space near our capital, Dumanville City, where you can form your military base.
Cheers to a hopefully successful future between our two nations!

If the government of Zanziik wishes it, we will help them pay for the mercenaries in exchange for a friendship alliance.

I hope we can also maintain trade, Zanziik.
I hope that I can maintain relations with all of my allies from this conflict.
you can put those troops i sent you into any army/military base, and they have high tech computers to find the enemy easier.
I would like to announce happily that, due to a regime change in Dracun Imperium, the wars on Austerreich and Zanziik have been abandoned by Dracun. I would also like to thank all of our allies through this conflict. Thanks for your support and aid in our times of need. It will not be forgotten.
