OOC: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=393149 is where this started

IC: "Chellis cannot watch as an evil dictatorship threatens nations, attacks them, then pulls out. The Upper Congo is a clear threat to world stability, and we will not stand its current regime. It has 24 hours to officially declare a regime change, with third party observers making sure it occurs. Otherwise, chellis will begin total warfare against The Upper Congo. We ask our allies support us in this venture."

Chellian foreign minister, Kaeya Misho.

The fleet that had been heading to Vast principles stopped, and began heading to a meeting place for chellian forces. Chellian satelites looked for any TUC satelites that were anywhere near the meeting area, where they would be attacked and destroyed by chellian attack satelites.

The small force that had been promised to Vast principles would be a part of this grand invasion force. 34 naval groups, including 30 carriers and many V-131N squadrens, were assembled to make this attack. 500,000 personnel in army and marine divisions would make the initial strikes, while naval forces worked on destroying the nation from the outside. Infantry would be brought in slowly, as they had to transit from Torres to TUC in protected naval groups, but the signifigant air forces made to attack would probably be sufficient to destroy the enemy from the inside.

The first troops to land would mostly be armoured divisions and artillery divisions, who would establish a small part of TUC as allied, and keep it protected for more troops to come. Naval ships would use air power to destroy anything that tried to counterattack the position, while chellian ATGM's and artillery would make sure they kept their section. Moving troops to TUC would be slow, but hopefully allied invasions would help get a larger presense there, faster.

Chellians hated to be riled up for war, only to not go through with it.

OOC: 500,000 Divisions???? That's about 10,000,000,000 men...

"The Commonality urges all parties concerned to seek a peaceful and rational resolution to the current tumultuous situation. Hostilities can only lead to hostilities. Occupation and forced governmental/ideological change leads only to insurrection. We urge the international community to apply pressure to all parties concerned to pursue a peaceful and diplomatic compromise; any other avenue will lead only to the creation of a breeding ground for terrorists and other enemies of freedom.

"However, we note that, as we share a border with Chellis, we may be forced to support Chellis should any state attempt to circumvent the decisions and actions related to those decisions of the government of that sovereign state."

OOC: Yeah...thats a typo. I think i'm well enough established for people to think its a typo, not godmodding. Jeez. Read the rest of the topic, I talk about how its a small deployment..should be obvious it was a typo.

OOC: Meh... understandable, but I've seen you deploy armies consisting of tens of millions of men before, so the natural assumption is that it wasnt a typo.

OOC: Related post is here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7582161&postcount=67 as TUC never RPed removing my bases, they are still there and house about 20,000 troops between them. One is on the coast, the other in the capital.

The Empire wishes no harm to the Chellian goverment and we expect our embassy to be left alone as it is.

The embassy is well clear of any major roads, rail lines and airports and is located in the middle of a cleared piece of jungle. Our security forces will see to it that neither Chellian troops or TUC soldiers attempt to breach the compound.

Roll over and die.

Dumpsterdanian Ambassador for the Upper Congo.

High Admiral Marimna stood on the bridge of his vessal, pondering the outcome of a naval skirmish with the enemy units already in the area. Chellis and Guffingford were every bit as strong and savvy as Xeraph. But Xeraph had something the RWC didn't..........many, many allies. And they could be here before the RWC knew what hit them.

" Admiral, we have preliminary reports that Guff and Chell are conducting war games in this area. However, their guns are levelled at UC, not each other."

"Yes, the lying scum think we're stupid. Prepare for an all-out attack on the Guff/Chell navy. I'm sick of their bullshit."

" The Emperor has ordered a 'wait and see' effect....we really should wait, sir."

The look the Admiral gave his ensign would have withered an oak tree. But the ensign was right. "Very well, Mr. Jones, we'll wait. But God help the enemy vessel that steps over the line. Alaric or no Alaric, I'm going to destroy any enemy ship or fighter jet that enters my space, or that of UC. Got it, ensign?"

"Yessir, Admiral....I got it."

Free Orbital Space

A lone object hung in the 'eternal night' of space, as the overused cliche went, its backside fiery with light from the Sun. It did not reflect much of that light back into space, but rather captured it in solar cells - and via annular mirrors. The mirrors, constructed out of solar sail material, redirected the light through a special lens, which in turn could 'illuminate' targets below. The increase in light level was utterly unnoticable at the surface - barely four or five lumens increase, in fact - but it was enough to improve VLO resolution.

Light that returned - both by arriving through natural, unfocused means, and via the annular mirror on board the satelite - was then examined, through a liquid mercury lens confined in a small electromagnetic field. Images took form in the non-removable data storage containers buried behind radiation shielding inside the satelite, and, after examination by the on-board computer, was marked as 'Important' by a firmware script - and then relayed through the satelite's lips, to another satelite's ears. The message leaps along at the speed of light, arcing around the planet and then, redirected by yet another satelite, racing downwards, reaching the ground in the Commonality in a matter of microseconds. A second message returns, from the ground, in a matter of milliseconds, containing a single order:

Focus on TUC.

Secret IC:

Voice 1: We've painted approximately 500 potential targets, the girls are still in the in air - ready for the bombing..
Voice 2: Very well, we'll wait it out and see what happens.

OOC: Chellis I am not replying to your thread mainly because I don't like you and I think your reason for war is stupid. So hah!

OOC: Not replying is your choice, but if you have no valid reason to ignore me, and don't reply here, I can only assume you accept casualty claims, etc that I make.

IC: "The Upper Congo refuses to change its regime. We cannot allow the current TUC government to remain in power. Henceforth, chellis will hold un-restrained warfare upon the nationstate of The Upper Congo. I can only hope the people pray, for we bring no god with out destruction."

Kaeya Misho.

---

The attack had been readied long ago. The codeword "ocelot" had been sent to the command ships, which signified full-out combat. Everyone had been prepared for this minute, for one huge first strike.

Napalm was the weapon of choice for many of the aircraft. The Jungles of TUC would be burned to the ground, as well as carpet-bombing missions upon the largest TUC cities. Guided 500kg bombs would strike at the most important economical and government areas of large cities, while 1,000kg bombs and Durandal weapons would be used against military installations and airfields.

300 V-131 bombers would launch from carriers, while 150 would launch straight from the water. Another 450 would launch right after the first strike was being completed, carrying munitions more able to strike at AA units, and enemy army units. The second strike force would also use 1,000kg bombs to strike important factories, water treatment plants, sewage plants, and other areas vital to civilian life.

This nation would be rebuilt for chellians, by chellians.

It was some time before General Sola could speak clearly.

"Put an OVERSIGHT bird on the area," her voice still carried a chuckle even as she wiped tears from her cheeks. "Chellis is most likely taking care of herself as she always has - and our interest there is minimal. Besides, we have no reason to stopper the trade of French goods."

As the aide turned to leave, she stopped him. "Have that page framed and put on my wall. Everyone needs a good chuckle."

This whole thread is laughable. You can't accept that I am ignoring you but you are attacking anyway? That is bloody stupid. Once again if I ignore you which I am doing your attacks are fruitless and useless.

WPHD is now formaly declaring war against Chellis, we will be willing to end hostilities upon the wiring of $25trillion (Chellis Budget (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Chellis)). ) The only reason you have to listen to me is 1 micro sub in the middle of the ocean with an ICBM (scramjet, giving you only a couple minutes to react). The ICBM has 10 MIRV loaded with a genetically altered antibiotic & vaccine resistant strain of Variola (Smallpox). Most of your 4.5b population would be dead within the year (refer to IL-4 experiment for mortality rate, vaccine resistant strain would have 60%-100% mortality, most natural strains have about 30%).

3. the Russian ship-to-ship sunburn missile (scramjet) goes Mach 3+ & is availible on the open market, the Russian/Indians are also developing some scramjet missile whose name I can't remember.

the whole thing cost like 1-2 hundred million, & can be easily made/bought
The Sunburn is RAMjet not SCRAMjet. SCRAMjet is mach 7+. Apart from that, you're right. This is a legit attack... of course if you fire there's a good chance of intercept, and his navy and airforce will be searching frantically for your sub (it can't be that small if it carries a RAMjet antiship missile) all the while...

OOC: Do you have any clue what you are talking about?

A. The SS-N-22 has a range of 65nm max. You aren't in the middle of the ocean, you have to be fairly close to my borders. You have a matter of hours before naval ships find you, as I have tens of thousands of ships that alone guard my coast. P-3C's are also being launched, now that you told us exactly what you are doing.

B. The SS-N-22 is not an ICBM with MIRV capabilities. It is a fairly short-range anti-ship weapon. You could have one warhead with the virus in it.

C. The SS-N-22 has a lowest altitude of 20 meters, thats above the horizon. We have thousands of Rafale's being launched, as well as AWACS, and we have our systems such as NORAD to detect launches. A SS-N-22 as 20 meters moves at a max mach 2.2, while a Mica can fly at mach 4 max speed. Blanket tactics allow for rafales to cover about 25km of our coast each, with fuel tanks allowing them to loiter for hours while ships and P-3C's search for your sub. Even if you move out of range, we will be dropping sonarbouys from P-3C's like mad, to ensure you cant get back into range.

The mica can engage a target at 50km in 41 seconds. A missile moving at mach 2.2 from 120km away takes over 3 minutes to hit its target. The Mica can hit the missile before it even reaches land. We have HAZMAT units at full readiness, and can quarantine an area quickly, even if you do hit land. We are not afraid to kill anyone in the area, and destroy the contained virus.

D. You're lucky im not ignoring you. A nation as small as you, as young as you, simply doesn't develop weapons like these. Your sub would never be able to reach so close to my land, being a mini-sub, and chellis most likely being a huge distance from you.

E. If you dont plan on firing at low-altitude, to gain more speed, Anti-aircraft units will destroy your missile. Whether its PHALANX from a ship, or our long-establish national air defense, it would be shot down before it reached over the land, and we would quarantine the area where fall-out was possible.

F. If you did manage to hit me, your entire nation would be obliterated anyways. I dont use many nukes, but my allies do.

G. Anything that I said is happening here, is happening IC. I just dont want to repost most of this in an IC heading.

OOC: Carbo nano-tube tech, Hystrike, etc...

Learn how to play the game. You are a tiny nation. You are using technology at the very top-edge. You are assuming you can take a mini-sub for over hundreds of thousands of miles, have a missile that RL powerhouses are cant make work yet, assuming you can solve the problems of heat, create a new strain of a virus, etc.

Here is the deal. I will accept all this, let you fire, and have my national air defense destroy the missile over the water, and while HAZMAT units nullify the damage, I nuke you into oblivion. Or, you can stop interacting with me now, and I won't further pursue this. As far as I can guess, you are someone's puppet who is trying to annoy me. There is the lesser possibility that you are just a noob. Therefore, I give you the choice.

Multiple Indepent R (something to do with targeting) Vehicle (I'm not great with acronyms, & I use parethesis alot)

It's where a missile breaks up in the reentry stage & like 4 warheads steer themselves towards different targets

OOC:

From Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIRV)

A multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle, or MIRV, is one of a collection of nuclear weapons carried on a single intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) or a submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM). Using MIRVs, a single launched missile can strike several targets, or fewer targets redundantly.

The military purpose of a MIRV is twofold.

To reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of an anti-ballistic missile system that relies on intercepting individual warheads. While a MIRVed attacking missile can have multiple (3-12 on various US missiles) warheads, interceptors can only have one warhead per missile. Thus, in both a military and practical sense, MIRVs render ABM systems less effective, as the costs of maintaining a workable defense against MIRVs would grow astronomically, and would require multiple defensive missiles for each offensive one.
To reduce the number of missiles required to carry out an attack. With single warhead missiles, one missile must be launched for each target. The post-boost stage (or bus) of a MIRV can dispense the warheads against multiple targets across a broad area.

IC: Halfway around the world, klaxxons went off, and thick armored doors folded loudly open.

High above, satellites pondered firing solutions.

The giant had roused, and waited for the single command to open its one red eye, to unleash hell upon earth once again....

Instant Response Unit - Strategic Warfare Command, Crown Guard High Command, somewhere nr. Nenya

A million things happened all at once. Alarms sounded, feet slapped against the ground as people ran to their positions - some were not at them - and commands were barked loudly; it was a rare happening to hear a raised voice, and those outside the enclosure, in the main vault of the Crown Guard High Command Citadel, no doubt wondered what was happening. It also probably made them very nervous.

The IRU was a special unit; devoted to instant response, as the name suggested. In certain circumstances, they were empowered to issue orders to the military; to order a first strike (first strike because Commonality missiles tended to be faster in time-to-target specs than most others) in the slim likelihood that an enemy with first-strike capacity launched a capable nuclear strike. There were very few states with a high enough threat classification to be considered able to do such a thing; the GUARDIAN grid was capable of shooting down literally thousands of incoming missiles a second (at the cost of a de facto nationwide power cut for the duration of the assault), so it took a really heavy-hitter to cause true danger to the nation in that way - unless the grid were incapacitated first. That had not ever happened, and did not seem particuarly likely.

But the opening of silo doors was an event anyway, no matter who opened them and no matter who intel suggested was to be fired upon.

Messages wing their way through the air, relayed by satelites to ICEL military assets around the world; targeting satelites paint the silos visually, confirming exact co-ordinates.

Then all holds still, waiting.

Instant Response Unit - Strategic Warfare Command, Crown Guard High Command, somewhere nr. Nenya

A million things happened all at once. Alarms sounded, feet slapped against the ground as people ran to their positions - some were not at them - and commands were barked loudly; it was a rare happening to hear a raised voice, and those outside the enclosure, in the main vault of the Crown Guard High Command Citadel, no doubt wondered what was happening. It also probably made them very nervous.

The IRU was a special unit; devoted to instant response, as the name suggested. In certain circumstances, they were empowered to issue orders to the military; to order a first strike (first strike because Commonality missiles tended to be faster in time-to-target specs than most others) in the slim likelihood that an enemy with first-strike capacity launched a capable nuclear strike. There were very few states with a high enough threat classification to be considered able to do such a thing; the GUARDIAN grid was capable of shooting down literally thousands of incoming missiles a second (at the cost of a de facto nationwide power cut for the duration of the assault), so it took a really heavy-hitter to cause true danger to the nation in that way - unless the grid were incapacitated first. That had not ever happened, and did not seem particuarly likely.

Relax. We're doing maintenance work. Though we do appreciate you pointing out so many of your assets to us.

"Based on current stimuli and past experience, this unit considers that to be an unacceptable response. Details have been forwarded to the Commonality Executive Council; an emergency session has been called in line with the appropriate section of this unit's response spectrum.

"This unit strongly suggests compliance, should compliance be required. The Commonality has no wish to 'point out' further assets in the future."

OOC: Ah, yes, now I remember you. Two levels out of my bracket, so I can safely ignore everything you do. Danke for the reminder.

OOC: I think he has a satellite watching your country...lol

IC: The Newer Australian Naval Intellegence Carrier Fleet and 1st Submarine Fleet are currently on amber alert in international waters outside The Upper Congo after the recent surgical bombing strikes on the Upper Congo.

OOC: Ignoring legitimate attacks is very poor form. I will just assume losses and outcomes if you don't respond.

OOC: Yes, but he's psi/FT, so we don't need to interact - there's no legitimacy.

[OOC: If that's a suggestion that you

1. Have an agent or informant of some sort inside the High Command Citadel;
2. That agent has access to an untapped, encoded line;
3. Managed to leave his post for long enough to make a call and was unheard by listening devices throughout the Citadel;
4. Is still alive;

then I am forced to inform you that none of these options are possible without extensive roleplay beforehand. The Citadel is the highest-security installation in the Commonality (aside Barad Aelin, which nobody outside of the Commonality has even heard of - not even in Menelmacar), and can only be accessed via the equally secure Imperial Palace (which nobody actually knows bar those who have visited there, amongst which number absolutely zero foreigners, as nobody outside the Citadel and the very highest echelons of the military even know where the Citadel is - and in some cases, whether it exists at all).

The reason for this is simple. The Citadel is not just an installation. It is a city. The people there live there; work there; play there; their children are educated there; and so on, and so forth. Almost nobody leaves, almost nobody goes in. Those who do have to submit to a psionic probing by a trained telepath. There is no way to block a telepath without that telepath knowing, unless technology is used. As no such attempt has been roleplayed, it's safe to say that there are no foreign agents inside the Citadel.]

OOC: oh sorry, thou its was the whole city, goning to retract that statement

[OOC: O-kay then. I'll just go right ahead and remove myself from a thread which involves a country that sits on my border, which then makes absolutely no sense ICly. :/]

OOC: Vastiva's my ally and helping me, so I dont quite understand your motives, but I made it clear long ago I won't ignore you :P

OOC: NA is refering to TUC I believe.

[OOC: Uh-huh, but they were opening nuclear silos. Hell, we weren't going to do anything. Just posture a little, as is expected. After all - we hate nuclear weapons, innit. ;) Sorry for the clutter!]

:mad: give me money!!!

OOC: Carbo nano-tube tech, Hystrike, etc...

Learn how to play the game. You are a tiny nation. You are using technology at the very top-edge. You are assuming you can take a mini-sub for over hundreds of thousands of miles, have a missile that RL powerhouses are cant make work yet, assuming you can solve the problems of heat, create a new strain of a virus, etc.

Here is the deal. I will accept all this, let you fire, and have my national air defense destroy the missile over the water, and while HAZMAT units nullify the damage, I nuke you into oblivion. Or, you can stop interacting with me now, and I won't further pursue this. As far as I can guess, you are someone's puppet who is trying to annoy me. There is the lesser possibility that you are just a noob. Therefore, I give you the choice.

Bump for WPHD

thanks I guess

never mind, I give up if I can get $2b for cost incurred (a small country like me isn't made of money yah know :D )
