"Cardinal, we finally have a way to achieve our dream. We can finally conquer San Marino"
"Excellant, General miller"

"Do we have permission Sir?"

The Cardinal nodded.
_________________________________________________________________
"GO GO GO" the captains shouted at their men as they jumped over the tiny nation.
"MOVE IT"

They floaded the small country.

"Surrender Your nation" yelled Colonel Davis, commander of all CR invasion forces. The troops had landed, without any resistance. The civilians were terrified.

I did no wrong. It was not claimed, so I took it. This is a benefit. Don't worry about religious things. San marino is 100% Catholic.

<50 miles from Italian coastline in the Adriatic>

The black hull of a Vengeance class SSGN hovered below the choppy surface of the Adriatic. Four hatches burst open on the upper deck, and four cylinders were propelled rapidly towards the surface. On breaking the surface, they rose more than twenty feet before the canister split, and a Wolverine cruise missiles soared skywards before keeling over and heading towards San Marino. Each missile carried a high-explosive warhead, and two bays full of leaflets which would be spread over the country before the missiles hit Cherry Ridge military targets inside San Marino.

The leaflets spread patriotic messages urging the San Marinoans(??) to rise up and attack their Cherry Ridge oppressors. Having spread leaflets over the inhabited areas, the missiles struck at the largest concentation of troops in the country.

On receiving the message, the SSGN launched a further 20 missiles, this time with their warheads removed, covering San Marino in leaflets, on the front cover of which was a picture of Cardinal DeVito in an intimate position with two men, and the slogan "This man has betrayed his faith. Make sure he doesn't betray yours. Rise up, and support will come from across the ocean"
Cherry Ridge
22-11-2004, 19:30
All citizens were ordered in their houses. Over a loudspeaker came the voice of Cardinal DeVito.
"I am saying this from my palace in Cherry Ridge. The Mcleodeans have attacked your homeland, and used doctored photo's of me. All who support me and CR go out to the streets now."
Every single citizen walked into the streets shouting,
"CARDINAL DEVITO,WE LOVE YOU"

(OOC: Well, you've attacked a nation that has been a republic for, erm, seventeen hundred years? And is peopled by barely thirty thousand, and in the process have slaughtered several of that tiny total. Strangely, even the families of the people murdered have come out in support of the fact. Lucky for you that the entire volunteer defence force was made up of evil monsters universally hated but inexplicably tollerated in the past, eh? I'd have called a poll claiming 10% support for the invasion blatant propaganda (which is fair enough, IC claims can be wild of course) but 85% recorded as fact not just lies by the CR state? Every citizen in support of someone who's killed several of them and taken away their ancient independence? How about instead two or three ambitious souls with something to gain?

Edit: Oh, and that's before we talk about a third-party power putting into the republic what is equivalent to a hundred million foreign troops in the US!)

All of a sudden, every single analogue, digital, and satellite television channel in San Marino starts displaying videos of atrocities committed by Cherry Ridge troops, and further pictures of the Cardinalin in yet more poses. The radio stations begin to play looped recordings of the San Marino national anthem, and messages reminding people what it was like to be able to walk the streets without being forced to stay in thier homes by bullyish armed guards.

<Onboard the USS Valley Mistress>

Computer disks were dumped, all the information uploaded to satellite, and the clean-up began. Computers, tapes, disks, classified maps and documents, any equipment that couldn't be explained away as scientific, and the ships armoury were all rapidly dumped out through the moonpool in the crafts hull, white phosporus grenades ensuring the equipment was burnt before it was ditched. Inside of twenty minutes, any incriminating evidence was destroyed.

The resistance was well organised, an embryonic group which totalled only one hundred fighters, yet commanded the support of thousands of citizens. The doctrine was simple, never attack in a group of more than three, never target civilians, and never be caught alive. As the three men lay hidden, soaked by the dew of the early morning grass, this meant very little. All that was important was that the imperialist bastards of Cherry Ridge were driven from the holy earth of San Marino. One knelt with his ear to the ground, a faint rhythmic vibration telling him that the armoured train was approaching. They were well hidden, a tent prepared days in advance and the charges set. As the train thundered into view, they drew their breaths and held their temptations until the front carriage passed, then they pulled the plunger. The resulting explosion tore the metal asunder, setting off a chain reaction amongst the ammunition and an almighty furnace roared as the men, grinning and shaking with exaltation, slipped away into the early morning fog.
Cherry Ridge
22-11-2004, 20:43
BOOM. The train exploded. Unfortuanatly, 50 civilians were on and only 5 soldiers.
All of them died.

++++++++
The CRS WILLIAMS pulled up next to the valley Mistress.
The boarding party entered the ship, and made its way to the Captain. There were 10 of them. They escorted the Captain to where they had come on. The team leader pulled out a pistol and shothim in the chest, and then threw him overboard. They quickly boarded their raft, and made their way back to the CRS WIlliams.

To- King Mc leod
We had a slight problem with resistance from the Captain. We killed him. We will pay his family 100 million bills, and your government 25 million bills.

Was one of these the scene when Cherry Ridge soldiers slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Wrigleyivy? I hope so. That'll give your propaganda campaign enough ammunition.

President Griffin looked up from his desk as Secretary Wiltz walked in. "Good to see you John, sorry to have to call you back from your family vacation but it seems that our ally Cherry Ridge is in need of some assistance in 'convincing' McLeod to pay some reparations and halt their attacks. I don't want this to escalate into serious violence, but if it comes down to it...well so be it."

Secretary of Defense Wiltz nodded as he listened to President Griffin "Sounds like it'll be just a simple show of arms, I'll get the Joint Chiefs together immediately and we'll deploy some carriers and some Marines."

"Agreed. Authorise all conventional force necssary to sink that ship." replied CINCMAF sleepily, angry at having been woken up so early in the morning.

The submarine once again reached broadcast depth, updated the targetting software of four of its Wolverine-N anti-shipping missiles, and launched all four, all in less than two minutes. Seconds after the last missile was launched, the submarine headed south ready to return for a resupply and re-arming.

Secretary Wiltz walked into the boardroom where Secretary of the Military Donald McKinnel, Commandant of the Marine Corps General James Mabe, Commandant of the Army Lieutenant General Richard Fender, Commandant of the Navy Admiral Sean Samuels, Commandant of the Air Force Major General Russell McGraw were already seated around the table, "Okay Gentleman, Secretary McKinnel has already briefed you on the situation...my suggested course of action: Deploy some Carriers, some Battleships, and some of our elite Marine division and do a basic showing of arms. The President has made it known he doesn't want any serious fighting to happen, but if it comes down to that..then it comes down to that."

Admiral Samuels looked over the deployment plan regarding the deployment of the Carriers and the Battleships and nodded "This plan will work fine Secretary Wiltz, we'll deploy fully armed carriers and battleships."

General Mabe nodded his agreement "My Marines will be ready for deployment as soon as you give the word."

Lieutenant General Fender gazed over the plans "Secretary Wiltz, I see nothing regarding the Army's role in this engagement."

"I have special plans for the Army, I want your special ops platoon ready to deploy in the case that this turns into a fight, you will level the playing field...so to speak after our aircraft and navy bombs, and before the Marines go to wipe the area clean." replied Secretary Wiltz, "If there's no other questsions or suggestions...move to deploy your troops.

OOC: Yeah, I did. On the Valley Mistress, the ship I was using to jam TV and radio signals. An SSGN is a guided-missile submarine. I have one ship and one submarine in the area. The ship is effectively unarmed anyway. It was the submarine that launched the attack. Hence there being an object called the SSGN-12 Vengeance, and another called that USS Valley Mistress.

1 Battleship and 5 destroyers suddenly surrounded the valley Mist.

All at once they began to fire. The ship (probably) had no hope. Torpedoes were launched, deck guns fired.From the 2 carriers, fighter jets attacked the ship. The ship, in the eyes of the Ridgians, was doomed.

Within minutes, the ship and her unarmed civilian crew were gone, with bodies and flotsam the only sign of a ships presence.

Anyone with a half-decent intelligence office could have worked out that McLeodian surface vessels in the employ of myself have an MNV prefix, and that United Salvage Solutions could be abbreviated to U.S.S.

Or perhaps it was the 16" gun turrets forward of the bridge, the multi-tube VLS systems, the torpedo tubes, and the obvious aggressive stance of the ship that made you attack it? No? Strange that, since it didn't have a single weapon on board, a fact that will be proved when McLeodian salvage experts, under protection by our navy, since nowhere is safe from your warmongering, dive on the wreckage.

My demands for reparations still stand. Failure to meet these demands will have strict and somewhat dangerous consequences.

I am writing to let you know that, upon you recieving the news, we will again place a regiment of Soldiers in San marino. The rest will be San marinese Loyal Home Guard (national guard, loyal to CR). I hope you can accept this, but it was democratic. Thank God it didn't erupt into full scale war.
Sincerly,
Cardinal Devito
