THIS IS ALL TOP SECRET, unless i say you know something, you dont


"All right, let's go."

The Sultan's words were to reverberate around the Middle East for a long time. Operation GRAND MARCH, originally the plan for a counter-attack during the aborted Soviet invasion, had been tweaked and changed, expanded into its current form. What began as a naval expidition and Special Forces strikes into Arabia had grown into a full fledged military mobilitzation.

In the Gulf, ships were busy, carrying troops to their planned dropoff point, ready to begin the March. Another fleet sailed out of Madras, ready to make their attack, and cover the Arabian fleet, protecting it from enemies in the Pacific. Sicily was abuzz as well, with ships sailing towards the Suez.

The Airforce had been busy as well, Moving troops back and forth, preparing to strike. Soon their first step would begin.

In Bahrain, two flights, a total of 10 C-130 planes, were preparing for takeoff. They carried pamphlets speaking out against Communism, urging the people to rise up against thier government and be part of something better. the pamphlets also contained symbols of goodwill, food, water, copies of the Koran, and Elephanti Dinars were to be distributed. If they were shot down, it would be an act of war. the defense ministry planned to clear their hands of any responsibility, this was not an attack, this was one country providing humanitarian aid to another. Surely no leader would shoot down planes sent to aid his people.

In the foreign minstry, workers were ready to inform select world leaders as soon as the planes began distributing leaflets.

(Zeeland, I know that, but if you learn anything from the Iraq war, learn JUSTIFICATION)

The first flight of C-130's lifted off over Bahrain, moving towards Arabia with the first load of flyers and supplies.

"Approaching Soviet Airspace, be careful men," was the word from the control tower.

(hopefully Hogsweat will post soon, so something will happen)

The first planes were now flying over Soviet territory, unchallenged by anti-air fire. The flyers and supplies began trailing out of the back of the planes, as they found ideal targets. Small towns and villages, with little or no military presence, oil workers, and other isolated settlements. Back at the airfield, a second group was ready, ten planes would leave every hour on a run over the Arabian sands. they would go all over the Arabian coast, and into Kuwait.

25 MILES OF THE COAST OF SUMATRA

The Second Warfleet of Elephantum slowed to a stop, far outside of Soviet waters, but ready for attack at any moment. They planned to target Sumatra and Java with humanitarian aid, and leaflets similar to those dropped in the Middle East, translated out of Arabic. C-141s and C-130's were preparing for takeoff in India, and would fly to Southeast Asia, where the fleet, and the five divisions, over 100,000 men, would protect them.

ROYAL PALACE, MANAMA, BAHRAIN

The High Sultan sat at his desk, contemplating how to phrase his message. He began to write,

To the leaders of Greenmanbry,

I, the High Sultan of the great state of Elephantum, come before you today with a plea for aid. We currently have a war fleet stationed off of the Sumatran coast, and Indian warplanes will begin conducting "humatarian exersises" later today. We would like to request the abilty to use your nearby Thai and Cambodian airfields to land planes that will not make it back to airbases in India, and use your ports for critically damaged ships. Any help you could provide in this matter would be much appreciated.

-Wandu e-Mumman
--High Sultan of Elephantum

He sent the message, and a moment later an aide rushed in.

"Lord, the first planes have left Madras, they will be back before sunrise."

"Hopefully, Hopefully"

Everybody involved please TG Hogsweat, so that he'll know whos after him, and hopefully he'll post here. Also, anyone with land in SE Asia who would like to let me land planes there would be good. Im flying them out of Southern india right now, and range is limited.


Semi-IC: The runs over Indonesia, Arabia, and Kuwait continued on without resistance. Why the Soviet government did nothing was unknown.
