12 AM, 25 miles off the coast of Dar es Salaam:

The four Nimitz class carriers were abuzz with activities as the first flight of JSFs and F-18s were being prepared on the flight decks. When the first flight was in the catapaults and the carriers were turned with the winds to their backs, the planes were shot into the skies and then turned for the city. A total of 30 JSFs and 50 F-18s were in the air with the JSFs armed with cluster bombs and the F-18s armed with AIRAAM and sidewinder missiles. As the strike fighters and their escorts moved onto the city of Dar Es Salaam, tomahawk missiles streaked off the Iowa and Arizona class battleships while the 16 inch guns opened fire on the city. The JSFs each released their clusterbombs on the heavily urbanized areas, killing thousands as they slept. Napalm bombs created firestorms which spread rapidly through the entire city while the shells of the battleships crashed down upon the central city.

Now, 25,000 marines and 300 M1-A2 tanks were on their hovercrafts and headed to the burning shores, ready to sieze the capital in one quick stroke.

OOC:Ok I am just checking
IC:The Soviet Goverment does not support this act of Imperalism.Yet we want to have peaceful relations with the Persian Empire.

To the Soviet Union:
We are pleased you will not prevent this just aquisition of a new land.

IC:
As the Persian marines neared the beaches the shelling died down. Firestorms had consumed the urban ghettos and cluster munitions had left hundreds of craters. Great swathes of destruction covered the city and the dead numbered in the hundreds of thousands. As the hovercrafts hit the beach, the ramps fell down and M3 Bradley IFVs and M1 tanks rolled off as the infantry spilled down the ramp. On landing beach C, Seargeant Ardumanish Tehrani led his men down the ramp with his scimitar waving in the air. His platoon followed him into a large tenement with bayonets upon their XM-8s. As they entered the people inside were slaughtered with bayonet and scimitar, children were thrown from windows and valuables were stolen. From the cleared tenement, the platoon was able to cover the Persian advance into the central city.

OOC: The Parthians, would you be open to an RP?

Official Communiqué

The Commonwealth fully condemns this act of blatant aggression. It seems that the Parthians are not satisfied with wrecking genocide and atrocities on their home soil, and must take their destructive tendencies elsewhere. Make no mistake, Tanzania would be better off as is then under the thumb of an outside regime. We demand that all Persian forces withdraw within 48 hours.

OOC: Sure thing.

IC:
We think you fail to realize that Shah Khosru's divinley inspired policies have made Parthia strong. The socialist Third world nation of Tanzania will benefit greatly from the economic policies that made Parthia a first world nation. We would not institute a SAVAK or similar secret police branch in Tanzania, nor would we deny them the freedoms of religion, speech, or press. We are a benevolent people, we commit no so-called crimes against humanity.

Foreign Minister Piruz Savhadkohi

Official Communiqué

I seem to remember a certain gruesome affair dealing with the execution of a female journalist. The Foreign Ministry also has numerous records of human rights violations, including a "reality show" where political prisoners were fed to sharks. Do not lie to us. We have no doubt that you seek to depose the democratically elected government in Tanzania in favor of an oppressive colonial administration. We repeat, remove all Parthian forces from Tanzania or face the consequences.

Do not force our hand.

OOC: I'm leaving for the night. Let's keep this away from our main nations, focused on Tanzania, and outside help to a minimum.

Feh, they are criminals. The journalist expressed an opinion different from the Shah's opinion... and the Shah recieves his orders from Ahura Mazda, how can anyone deny orders from the Wise Lord of Heaven? She obviously is evil since she disagrees with the Shah's plans. And the sharks were for fun, they were punished for everyones entertainment after they opposed the Shah. The people of Tanzania need a Shah who speaks to the divine so they may find a greater prosperity. You must see the Shah is never wrong, and to prove that the orders from Ahura Mazda will be followed, we will be sending ten more infantry and two more armored divisions to Tanzania.

-Foreign Minister Piruz Savhadkohi

The Democratic Proletariat Union of Aztec National League would like to inquire why you are invading the lands of Tanzania? These acts are blatantly imperialistic, and while the ANL will not take any military action, we still find these acts upsetting.

-Dr. Darius Wellington, Foreign Affairs Minister
DPUANL

OOC: May I send intellegence agents to investigate your invasion?

Well, the simple answer is we have reason to believe they are planning to attack us.

OOC: Yes

Parthian SAW fire tore into the Tanzanian infantry as they fled from the city center. From every tall building, Parthian troops had overtaken the place and layed down hell upon the pitiful Tanzanian army. A TOW missile ripped into a T-55, a pitiful contraption the Tanzanians could hardly operate. All around the city, enemy infantry squads had been separated from the others and cut to pieces by Parthian troops. From every lamppost, a Tanzanian civilian hung from a rope. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were standing in chained lines, preparing to board slave ships where they would be taken to their final destination.

Official Communiqué

Your Wise Lord of Heaven will mean nothing to the Tanzanians. The population is predominately Muslim and Christian, with the majority following indigenous belief. The Zoroastrian (I'm assuming that's what Parthians follow) faith has little in common with the people, and we see your comment to only strengthen our belief that you seek to impose reformation on an unwilling democracy. For the final time, leave Tanzania immediately. You have 24 hours.

Redirect Domar Observational Satellites from previous routes to provide Central Command an unobstructed constant view of Tanzania.

Official Response from Shah Khosru:

The Wise Lord of Heaven dictates to me my policy, Tanzania will fall and the Zoroastrian faith shall mean something to the followers of Jesus and Mohammed. Such is the will of Ahura Mazda, though Zanzibar shall not be mine, the island will be given to Ottoman Khaif since it is predominantly Muslim. We will have Tanganyka, they have harbored terror networks which are threatening to attack Parthia! We shall remove this pestilence and punish the terror supporting Tanzanians for this.

-Shah Khosru III

The ANL Intellegence Minister quickly dispatched this letter to the Aztlan Intellegence Agency:


----------------------------------
¡H~I~G~H~L~Y| |C~O~N~F~I~D~E~N~T~I~A~L!

From: Tonahuac, Intellegence Minister
To: Agent Fernando Garza, AIA Chief of Operations

Considering the recent imperialistic acts of agression commited by Parthia in Tanzania, I am ordering a new mission. You are to assymble a team of intellegence agents to inflitrate and investigate the invasion of Tanzania. Order your agents to be careful and not engage in any conflicts unless if need be. Their primary goal is to:

-Look for human rights violations
-Observe Parthian population, riot control and military tactics
-Observe Parthian military power

Both the Premier and the Vice Premier have been notified of this operation and I have just gotten written permission from both Premier Quetzalcoatl and Vice-Premier Coyotepec to engage in this operation.

I wish you and your agents good luck.

-Tonahuac, Ministry of Intellegence
----------------------------------


After reading the order, Fernando Garza immediatly began to go through his agent files and looked for 6 agents to deploy to Tanzania. In about 3 hours, they would begin their mission.

OOC: I'll list the characters in a sec, I just have to create them.

Screams of women and children echoed through the burning city as clouds of smoke rose into the air. Fires had consumed the shantytowns and the government employees had been arrested and held in cages outside the city. Long lines of slaves waited outside the city, chained together and wailing in agony. From high places, lifeless bodies lacerated by bayonets hung from ropes. The entire population was now either dead or enslaved, and a new Persian city would rise from the ashes.

Secure Underground Facility

"It appears like the Parthians have once again been stubborn enough to dissuade the voice of reason." 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.

"I have the last few telegrams uploaded onto the network." 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 seek to spread the faith of Zoroastrianism. The Sultan claims to be merely following the commands of a so-called Ahura Mazda, in violation of Tanzanian beliefs.

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 the people, the Parhians would have never invaded in the first place 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. "Completely nonconforming with the acts of a rational person. But we’ve dealt with them in the past.”

"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 Parthian High Command seem very set onto their objectives. 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 Tanzania?"

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 Madagascar before coming to a rest offshore of Mafia Island, below the areas occupied by the Parthian forces. From there, a short amphibious landing should gain us a beachhead near the city of Mohoro. The 7th BF will then move to the south, where a few airlifted brigades will secure the ports of Lindi and Mtwara. Heavier equipment can then be shipped in."

The consoles flicker again to show a map with deployments in the African Theater. Demark spoke up once more. "From these initial landing areas, we can then move to seal the Dar es Salaam area 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."

War room, Persepolis Palace:

Shah Khosru looked uneasily at the satellite photographs showing an approaching Granzian fleet of over 200 ships. The invasion fleet Parthia had in place was less than 50 ships. The reinforcements of 20 Infantry divisions, 5 armoured divisions, and 250 Ships from Hormuz was not expected for a day or two. The Shah knew only one thing could be done... he would have to call back the invasion fleet. It was not fruitless, 3,000,000 slaves had been captured.

"Tell the marines they are headed home"

Tanzania:
Marines and slaves began to board the hovercrafts, soon they would return home, and though they had no new territories, Tanzania would not recover once a new invasion force was sent... until then, the slaves would do.

To Nathanial Sun:
We have decided to pull out of Tanzania, the nation is completley worthless for the plans we envisioned.
-Shah Khosru III

OOC: Wait a sec, you're ending the RP? Just like that?
I hope you have something else coming up.

OOC: Wait a sec, you're ending the RP? Just like that?

OOC: No, I'm going to regroup and launch an assault on another city.

OOC: Ok. I'm off for the night. Tomorrow I'll start by finding out that you took several million slaves, and then work from there.

Tenochitilian Aircore Base:
11:18 PM

An Iu-96 was going through it's final preparations to undertake it's mission. Several crates were being loaded upon the plane and 6 figures quickly scurried onto the plane. As the plane slowly reved to life, the Base Commander walked over to the plane and went inside.

There, several agents stopped talking and looked to the commander. He said "There has been a change in plans. Parthia has chosen to back down due to threats from Granzi. However, this mission is not canceled. You're primary goal is to see what type of damage Parthia has done. As with before, your plane will not take you directly to Dar es Sallam. Rather, you will go to Tanga and will make your way to the capital. If you must abort the mission pre-maturely, you will escape into Kenya where we will have a covert pick up. If your mission terminates on time, you will head down to Mozambique to be picked up there. Any change of plans will be relayed to you quickly.

Good luck."

With that, the Commander left the plane and walked away. Soon, the plane was ready and began the long flight from Central Mexico to Tanzania.

Great freighters began to arrive in the port of Bandar Abbas, on the sides the emblem of Teymorian Slaveholding Inc was painted. Gangplanks and ramps began to touch down on the docks and policemen armed with streetsweepers and M-16s looked on as the clank of chans could be heard getting closer and closer as the slaves popped into view. They crept down the gangplank chained together in a great line held by chains. On shore an auction was being prepared for the sale of the slaves...

In the Indian Ocean, a new course was being plotted.....

The great fleets had merged, many troop transports and many warships were closing together, he could see every vessel on radar... 65 Arleigh Burke class destroyers, 45 Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates, 15 Nimitz class carriers, 10 Iowa class battleships, 3 Arizona class battleships, and a single Gullien class superdreadnought, the Shah Khosru III. 55 Ticonderoga crusiers sailed nearby the 15 Los Angeles and 20 Seawolf class subamarines.

Granzi?

The voice from a Drogenhaasen F-18 pilot crackles into the Parthian Flagships Command. "Release the slaves that you have taken back on shore at Tanzia now or face annihilation at the hands of our destroyers. Over and out." The F-18's dissapear over the horizon back from whence they came, as the Drogenhaasen fleet appears from the mist. 10 Phoenix class aircraft carriers, 50 Goliath class destroyers, 50 Shield class aegis cruisers, 100 Reaper class battleship, and 90 Ghost class attack subs. Behind come the transports, and the foreign aid workers ships behind them. A loudspeaker sends the following message. "Release the slaves and retreat back from Tanzian controlled waters or we will fight you to your capitol city, and kill all in our path."

With a nation of 6 million people , how do you think you can support a fleet the size of the United States? Please reduce that or be ignored.
