Conflict Hell Bound: The begining... (Cont. - "We warn all nations... watch out.") [Archive]

It was a dark night, two ViZionarian B-2's flanked by 16 F-22 fighters swiftly cut through the cool air over the ocean, just a mile from entiring hostile airspace. Being in international airspace, they felt safe as they maintained their bird-of-pray style circulation around the hostile airspace. (OOC: http://usera.imagecave.com/mobrule132001/CADMap5.JPG < map - entire area hostile)

However, just moments after the refueling tankers left, one of the fighters, piloted by 27 year old Jack Browning, began malfuctioning. The only message he was able to get out before the fighter crashed into the dark waters below was, "I'm having difficulty with Blue Bird," the name of the fighter. At impact, the fighter burst into flames, detonating the nuclear missile onboard. The entire event took place between half a mile and one mile outside hostile boarders on the international airspace and waters side.

Within moments, Generia aircraft came out, guns a'blazin and missiles launching, taking down the ViZionarian aircrafts. However, before they were taken out, three nuclear bombs and the majority of the nuclear missiles were launched.

The end result:
As the radar screens exploded with new fast moving blips, IGSAC systems also exploded to life. Interceptors and land based batteries alike opened fire with high speed countermeasures designed to intercept and vaporize incoming warheads. The Imperial satellite defense networks also sprung to life, targetting the missiles with laser and electronic pulse based systems, designed to jam or fry the on board computers of the missiles, forcing them to Earth. Several white flashes resounded over the dark waters.

On the ground, the bombs from the B-2s that had made it over the quiet northern shores fell to Earth, whistling in the stiff wind as their carriers exploded above them in dazzling displays of fire and steel.

Soldiers at the Saber Point installations watched dumbstruck as the horizon exploded in the distance. The bombs slammed into the Earth, and white flashes again lit up the sky, as towering clouds reached into the heavens. Several small villages were vaporized, and a light dust began to fall for many kilometers in every direction over the plains. Snow that had grown to depths of seven feet in the frozen northlands instantly evaporated and the dust and sand beneath fused into glass. (Generia posted that in the other thread...)

Official Imperial Statement-

The Empire, in this last eleventh hour, once more desperately calls for reason to make a home in the minds of the ViZionarion government. ViZionarion aircraft were intercepted because they were known to be carrying nuclear payloads on a course to Generian territory. The nuclear detonation proved this, and the launch after interceptors were detected further proves their intentions. Generia is not asking for revenge, we are asking for reason. The Empire asks the ViZionarion government and her allies to pause on their path to war, to allow proper discussions to commence, and to give the world a well deserved explanation for their behavior today and tonight. Three nuclear detonations have already been detected on Generian soil. We do not know the death toll, but have ordered all Imperial civilians to take cover in shelters to prevent further loss of life. We ask once again that time be given for reasoned discussion, and that the leaders of the world remove their fingers from the nuclear triggers. Let us save the world from armageddon tonight. Please, we ask not for our own sake, but for the sake of humanity in the name of reasonable people. Let us not end the world for foolishness.

In response to Generia's official statement, the ViZionarian Government only offered a concise, to-the-point statement.

Tonight is not one we will forgot about any time soon. If things continue to go the way they are progressing, nuclear winter will soon covet this earth.

We offer the explination to the citizenship of this earth. Yes, our planes were carrying nuclear weapons. HOWEVER, unlike what Generia wishes you to believe, their ordered were not to enter hostile territory until an offensive was first launched upon ViZion or her allies. They were there purely as a retalitory force in the event Generia or others in the area launched an attack.

We had intel speaking of such an up-and-coming threat, which is why we have been in such a defensive and military mode in the recent days. To this point, it shows they were waiting for the right time to strike. We were within our sovereign right to fly in international airspace.

A malfunctioning F-22 crashed into international waters, where its nuclear missile detonated - Once again, in international waters. This was not an attack upon Generia or her allies. It was an airplane that crashed. Yet they claim these planes were "on a course Generian territory," when, if you looked at their course, they were incircling the area in international airspace.

We ask Generia so tell the world why they attacked us in international airspace when its course was not even headed in their direction, but rather around it.

Within moments of the nuclear blasts in the ocean, the water along the coastline began to draw back, exposing tons of sand. The water would be back. (OOC: Generia... Canad a brought up a good point... w/ the nukes blowing up in the water... it'd cause a title wave...)

Zerbia

20-07-2005, 12:28

Secret IC:

The Supreme Zerbian Overlord Chancellor of The Supreme OverLordian Empire of Zerbia observed the flashes of conflict between Generia and ViZion on the Zerbian satellite feed beamed straight into his chamber.

When the original, huge flash and mushroom cloud occured, the man on the throne immeadiatly found it odd. Odd, because it did not appear to be in Generian waters...which he concluded was either an accident or a warning shot across the bows.

The CAD allies were aware of each other's flight paths, and as such, the movement spotted just before the blast was surmised as not being of any doing of CAD's.

Then the flashes had started, and swathes of Generia had been lit up in nuclear blasts, whilst aircraft duelled it out, a dogfight marked by flares and lights, the telltale signs of explosions.

Then it had stopped....

The whole of The Supreme Overlordian Empire had been locked down, the air defence matrix complete and secure, a mesh of air defences that systematically covered the skies and waters of Zerbian territory.

The Zerbian War Machine had been mobilised, men with no compassion in their hearts, no sign of showing mercy or feeling in their cold eyes stood ready to kill.

"Pre-Subhumanity Annihilation Allignment Procedure. Target: ViZion." The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor said to The Priest of War in an authoritive, unemotional tone.

"Yes, My Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor!" The Priest of War said eagerly, all too ready to follow his leader's every command.

The Priest of War relayed the information to the Orbital Weapon Station Command, some 80 miles away, who quickly commanded the Zerbian Orbital Weaponry to allign to a target.

Upon the multiple Zerbian Orbital Weapon Stations in the cold dark depths of space, a low mechanical rooooooo could be heard as the nuclear missiles aboard re-alligned to target ViZion, but did not have the authority given, as yet, to fire and eradicate ViZion, or at least, make it glow like a gloworm.

"It is done, My Supr-" The Priest of War began.

"Good." The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor cut off The Priest of War with his short, monotone reply, his features of showing no emotion, before dictating a message to be sent to Generia.

Secret IC to Generic Empire:

To: Generia
From: The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor

I am aware of the attack upon you, your peoples and territory of Generia.

Be assured that The Supreme OverLordian Empire, under my command, and as a CAD ally, will do anything in it's power to assist in the eradication of subhumanity which arises from it's cesspit of digusting existence to attack you.

Should war be imminent, The Supreme OverLordian Empire shall stand with you, and fight alongside you. Victory will be assured, any enemy crushed and erased.

May our two expansive Empires, and CAD, be prosperous.

The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor of Zerbia

Iuthia

20-07-2005, 13:42

OOC: It's worth noting that unless you had the nuclear weapons armed for launching in the first place that the warhead would not go nuclear, even if the casing was breached in the crash... it would produce alot of radiation but nothing like a nuclear blast.

The problem here is that those nuclear weapons should not be armed until your just about to use them, meaning when a nuclear explosion happens, you had better be sure you meant it otherwise people will assume you meant to nuke someone...

If it was just a innocent crash, the missile would not have gone nuclear... hell in most cases it wouldn't even produce a huge amount of radiation as the casing would probably survive. So the assumption is that your nation was up to something bad... eitherway I'll stick an IC post on this in a moment after I've read more into the reactions. Just thought it was important to point out that claiming innocence isn't really going to fly here... that nuke shouldn't have been armed yet.

Official Statement from the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/iuthia.jpg

Firstly we address the people of the Generic empire in offering our condolences for the lives lost to this attrocious attack against your people... while the Benevolent Dictatorship has hardly ever seen eye to eye with your government, we cannot help but weep for the loses of those caught in the tidal wave created by ViZionarian aggression.

These nuclear explosions prove to us that the ViZionarian government had planned hostile actions against your people without provokation; flying along your nations borders in order to goad your military into defending your people from such a strike so that they may slap you, and all of us in the face with lame calls of how their bombers were flying over International waters... but why, we ask, were their nuclear weapons armed if not to start a nuclear war?

Furthermore, why must they fly so close? International waters be damned, you fly nuclear bombers so close to any nations borders and you can guarantee we would all respond to protect ourselves, so patheticly covered their intentions are. But the real insult here is the fact that the ViZionarian government isn't owning up to their fault and are instead blaming Generia for reacting to a nuclear explosion just a mile from their border limits.

Frankly, we've had enough of the ViZionarian Government. Once we saw them as a cautious people who took great pains to protect themselves... but to witness these horrific actions which could have been avoided had the ViZionarian Government had any sense what so ever. They provoke a war and use it as an excuse to start aggressions with nations they do not like the look of... all in the name of defence.

We shouldn't need to tell the ViZionarian Government what they have done wrong here... what they have started despite their "explainations". Their actions thus far prove their cowardise, this government is a danger to the international community. Feeding us false lines of danger and all the while using it as an excuse to wage war with other nations... less they fall back from this path to destruction there will be no choice but to eliminate the threat to the international comunity.

So in turn, the Iuthian Government warns the people of ViZion to stop this madness, and take calm, reasonable defensive actions or at the very least be open with those whom you feel are a threat to your nation. Such cowardly attacks will destroy your reputation...

The Lightning Plains

20-07-2005, 13:52

"What in hell was that?" ask a member of the cabinet looking at an intercepted satalite image... (being a small developing nation with limited technology we had to improvise a bit)

"That... omg... that looks like a high increase in radiation... someone's been nuked..."

"any idea who it was?"

"it seems that those planes that flew through our airspace earlier are involved sir... they seem to be dropping like flys out there too... they chose to nuke the wrong nation"

"now now colonell.. this isnt time for laughter, Mr Linkstander look at our intel from the last 24 hours... any ideas where these are coming from?"

"sir, we recieved a telegram from the original warning nation called Vizion... they told us to stay out of any military conflict, it was a response to our distress signal.. sir, it also seems those planes were Vizionian air craft"

for a minute or two the cabinet sat around thinking before the thing that was on the top of their minds and the tip of their tounges was eventually spoken

"sir you realise that our boarder lands, sit right in between these two nations of conflict..."

"what are you saying Linkstander"

"well colonell, were in the flight path of any action passing between these two nations... and if this turns out to be full scale military conflict... were in the flight path of nuclear war..."

there was a silence before the member of the cabinet most involved in these discussions stood up.

"we must inform the primeminister"

OOC: quite happy to be a battle ground if you need it... basically im a wide open landlocked nation. mountains in the north, a river running north to south with a capital city right smack bang in the middle on the eastern side of the river. have numerous minor villages on the far outskirts including various settlements on borders. quite happy for them to be anihalated in crossfire if you want... will defend capital with what little resources i have should you wish to spill the conflict there, though it is only a small city and would probably get destroyed if you felt the need to nuke it.

IC:
in the primeministers office.... the cabinet minister has explained the above conversation to the primeminister with help from the colonell

"colonell what do you advise we do?" asked the primeminister

"well it seems we will be caught up in this whatever happens... i suggest we wire a telegram to Vizion, accepting there help.."

"what do you mean?"

"we should allow Vizion to occupy various sections of the boarder lands.. the lightning plains will then be behind the front line and we will be under the protection of Vizion troops... giving them a striking opportunity closer than they imagined and there enemies imagined... the war could be over quicker..."

"very good colonell... it shall be done"

the adivisers left as the primeminister and his technical crew sent this message to Vizion

"Vizion, thankyou for your response to our distress call. we accept that our nation is in grave danger, but we also note it would be in far less danger should you choose to move troops into the area of our boarders... not only would it make our nation more secure it will also give you a headstart and an advantage as you would be only a few more miles outside enemy lines... we ask that you reply to this immediately so we can make arrangements for your occupation.
yours
Josephus
Primeminister"

the message had been sent... objectively it was meant to be a secret telegram... but without knowing it the message went out to everynation just as their previous distress message had done... funnily enough though... no one knew who else heard the message

'This thing is only going to get worse'

'Put the call out, all reserve forces are to report to their respective bases and be armed immediately, NBC threat level is set to 3 Romeo, full kit at all times, and have the air raid sirens sound, get all the civvys inside'

'Oh, and no more warnings on any breeches of the exclusion zone, hit it with everything we have straight away'

'Get on to air command, have them set up roaming patrols over our borders, and get onto naval too, have them recall the task force from Mationland at flank speed, they have some of our best troops on board, tell them any hostile forces get in their way, fire first.'

'Also, tell naval to order our nuclear capable subs to go quiet and head for Generia and ViZion and standby for possible launch orders, if this thing spills over to us, we'll go down with a fight, no matter how small we are'

'I also want the navy to have fast patrol boats out in the exclusion zone around our seas'

'Prime minister sir, I'm recommending we bring martial law into force, in this scenario it's very real that enemy agents may be active here, martial law would help limit their actions'

'Prime minister sir..' said the brigadier general

'yes what is it?'

'Well sir, if this war is going to be fought by WMDs, maybe we should bring our other capabilities to the fore also, besides nuclear arms, chemicall and biological weapons are also serious tools, especially with our small nuclear arsenal?'

'OK, do it, at leats it's something we can produce quickly, order production of VX nerve agent and ebola virus'

'And prime minister sir, the parliament is no longer safe, I want the essential staff moved into the command bunker below sir'

'Of course, they will probably target empire city first as well'

'My god brigadier general, we don't even know who is with who in this bloody war, who is allied to us and who is against us, we don't know who we should be allied to or who we should be against, my gut instinct tells me we should be with ViZion, for they are fighting the same terrorism we are, but I'm just not 100% convinced'

'Send a comminique to try and establish what our relationship is'

To: ViZion Governemnt
From:The Brittonian Empire Government

To the leaders of ViZion, the empire must know what your intentions are, particularly with regard to the Brittonians? We wish to side with you if you truly are fighting terrorism, as we have the same problem with these animals calling themselves freedom fighters, however we must have your promise of alliance before we can commit any forces to the struggle.

Subject: Request for peace...
Message:

To whom it may concern,

As we stated publically, we offer our more sincere condolences for the lives lost in this unfortunate incident. However, we would like to avoid nuclear war if at all possible and because of this we would like to offer you our support in cleaning up the damage to your coast lines as well as economic aid in return for some leniency towards this situation.

We fully understand your right to defend your nation from nuclear strikes as the Benevolent Dictatorship would likely have responded in the same manner had ViZionarian nuclear bombers been patrolling our borders in such a blatant manner... however, we feel that it is important that we respect the situation for what it is and allow the ViZionarian Government a chance to pull back from their cowardly actions.

As such we request that your government attempts diplomacy in this matter before persuing revenge we are are sure is such thoughts are on your mind. Give them a chance to repy your people for the suffering they have caused... allow them to apologise for their stupid actions. For such negotiation your nation would earn respect while they can only lose it... meanwhile, should they prove incapable of swollowing their pride and make reparations and a complete apology accepting full responcibilty for the incident (as we are sure you would expect nothing less) then your government would be in it's right to declare war on their nation or react as you see fit.

We just feel that this would be the best option and frankly, no one wants a nuclear war. Prove you are the better nation please, for your sake as well as the international communities sake.

Thanks,

Official Statement from the Ministry of State in co-operation with Foreign Affairs

'Normally I do not waste my time with issuing statements but today is a different kind of day. Today is the day where ViZion shows their true nature. An aggressive nature, intolerant and unjust for all. Today a most shocking and appalling news letter arrived at my office. A lowly, cowardly attack on sovereign soil, innocents butched by ViZion. My colleague from Iuthia has put it very well, and I fully agree with him.

The Free States of Guffingford offer their most sincere condoleances to the Generic Empire, though we do not feel compelled to relief you medically - military if necessary. For too long ViZion has planned and executed ridiculous military measures to protect themselves as they said, but in reality they were designed and made for offensive action. Built for desctruction, the destruction of innocent humans living their daily lives.

Henceforth Guffingford has halted every means of trade and communication (except diplomatic channels) between our two nations. We hold you fully responsible for the damage done, and Guffingford expects them to be paid in full - if this simple demand is not met we will consider other actions that are yet to be discussed. Aggression aimed towards allies of the RWC is not taken kindly, and we will act accordingly if requested. We will not stay neutral, we support Generic Empire politically. For now.'

The dim red light illuminated the Emperor's darkened face. He seemed somewhat peacefull, for the moment. He, clad in the uniform of an Imperator, rested in the commander's chair, his arms crossed, his head tipped down. No one really wanted to wake him, but alas; it had to be done. The unfortunate young man assigned to this task was a young lieutenant by the name of Scipio. He showed much promise as an intellegence analyst. Hopefully his life wouldn't be cut tragically short by some Imperial fit of rage...

Approaching the Emperor, the young man spoke timidly, at first,

"Um, my lord..."

Instantly, the Emperor sprung awake. He hadn't been sleeping at all.

"Yes, Brother Lieutenant?" responded the Emperor, not the least bit annoyed, surprisingly enough.

"There has been a nuclear strike on Generia..."

Section 38 around 4:00 SST:

A dark forboding room filled with computer stations, dozens of technicians sit, processing information recieved from Shenyangi satellites, spy planes, and field operatives.

Technician: Sir! Multiple nuclear detonations detected in and near Generian Airspace!

General Hammond: Shit! Who bombed them!?

Technician: Unknown, however shortly after the first detonation and before the others the bogies that skirted our airspace went down. Raven 5 saw them several hours ago on a course away from ViZion, but there's nothing concrete yet... Wait. Enhancing the satellite image... They're ViZionarian, thats for sure.

Gen. Hammond: Those bastards skirted our airspace with a nuclear payload. Who fired first?

Tech.: After the first detonation a Generian flight engaged the bogies, splashing all of them, but not before they'd released most of their payloads.

Gen. Hammond: The Generian's shot first?

Tech.: Yessir.

Gen. Hammond: Keep me updated, I have to inform the Chairman.

Inside Chairman Murdock's palace in the Shandro'ov Mountain Range:

The Chairman was roused from his bed by the ringing of the secure telephone next to his bed. Getting up he answered.

Murdock: What is it John?

Hammond: The ViZionarians just nuked Generia.

Murdock looked shocked for a moment. then regained his cold composure.

Murdock: When?

Hammond: Ten minutes ago.

Murdock: Send them whatever aid they may need, and bring the nation to Defcon 1. I'll be in the capital. Who can reach my cell I assume.

Hammond: Yessir.

Murdock hung up the phone. Dressing in his best suit he began walking through the palace, toward the hanger where his Comanche was stored. As he entered the room was abuzz with activity. Under the blue tactical lighting that filled the hanger the ground crew was loading and fueling the Comanche. A full tactical complement of weapons was loaded and the craft was fueled for a trip clean to First City in Ruthless Sluaghter, not that they'd need to go that far.
Murdock and the pilot boarded the craft and lifed off through a port that opened in the roof. Flying low through the mountain passes to evade detection, by anyone the Comanche reached Randova in one hour. Laning at the Governmental Complex, Murdock exitted the chopper and entered the facility. Taking an elevator down to the War Room he found the other members of the High Council waiting for him. Taking their seats they began to strategize as to what would happen in the coming days.

After upon hearing of these cowardly attacks on the Generic Empire, the whole MoD and Stevid Parliment is completly and utterly appauled by these acts by ViZion and fully condemn the attacks with our upmost horror and disgust.

Stevid hereby now stands by the hounerable nations of Iuthia and Guffingford and will offer Military and Medical support to the Generic Empire in light of these attacks upon them. Stevid takes a dim view of aggressive nations attacking civilains, we may have over looked this incident if no civilians were killed in the attack.

However, Stevid will allow a certain amout of time to pass before action is taken to see whether the nation of ViZion pays reperations to Generic Empire for it is the least they can do.
If the demand is not met then futher and probably more aggressive action may be taken against ViZion.

He had taken this attack as a personal insult, mainly because his wife, the Empress Anja, was a native Generian, a daughter of Emperor Antonius I. This was to be a quick and decisive action involving a cruise missile strike on the ViZion capital.

The commander leading the mission, Commander Quintus Gaius, was a seasoned bomber pilot. He and his squadron of eleven other pilots would be granted a seemingly easy task: fly to the correct waypoint and press the big red button labeled 'FIRE'. That was all that was required of them. Easier said than done.

The airfield tarmac was lit up by red strobe lights, making for an erie atmostphere. The air was filled with the sounds of engines starting, the shouts of the crew chiefs as they tried to get in last minute inspections. He walked along the pavement towards his B-3A Archangel medium bomber, which sat parked and fully loaded. He carried his helmet in his left hand, gripping the ladder that lead to the cockpit with his right.

This was a one-seater aircraft. Although it made the longer missions somewhat more boring, he liked having all of the controls of his bird at his command. He slid into the cockpit and strapped on his flight helmet, motioning for the crew chief to seal the canopy.

As he taxied, he went over the mission briefing. ViZion nuked an Imperial ally. Although the payload he carried was not nuclear, he was to send a message of equal magnitude to the enemy of his people by striking where they felt most safe: their capital.

A quick salute to the control tower, and he was cleared for takeoff. As he pushed the throttle forward, the aircraft shot forward at incredible speed, putting him airborne in under ten seconds. And he was off. This was to be a long flight over to the enemy capital...

Credonia

20-07-2005, 18:53

Credonian Presidential Palace, Credonia City, Credonia

President Sutton sat in the Palace's Situation Room amongst his political advisors and planners. The situation was dire. The Generic empire would most certainly want to strike and strike hard against Vizion for the nuclear attack. It seemed that most of Credonia's supporters were indeed against Vizion, however, the laws of the seas state that any foreign 'property' destroyed by a nation not in relation to the nation that the 'property' originated from within international relations could be considered as an act of war. Clearly, the attack upon those bombers was an act of war, regardless of their payload. How would anyone know what the ordinance was unless opposing fprces were tipped off? President Sutton knew he had to act and he had to act now. He decided to issue a statement to the world from the Situation Room.

"My fellow Credonians, today we have seen the horrors of what nuclear weapons can bring about and how destructive they can be. Even though such weapons belonged to the nation of Vizion, the attack upon the aircraft that carried them was in no way, shape, or form called for as the attacks were made while the craft were over international waters. Such attacks can only be deemed as an aggressive declaration of war. There were no indication that those bombers were preparing to enter the borders of Generic Empire. This attack can only be seen as a pre-emptive offensive strike upon the nation of Vizion, and as an ally of Vizion, it is our duty to see to it that such unprovoked attacks are not reciprocated upon our ally.

For that reason, I have instructed all Credonian Conventional Military Forces to stand down from DEFCON 1 to DEFCON 2 and all Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological forces to remain at DEFCON 2 until a peaceful resolution to this conflict is found. Should the Generic Empire attempt to reciprocate the attacks upon Vizion, Credonia will view such an attack as an attack upon the United States of Credonia and will require a full retalitory attack upon the Generic Empire which will include the use of strategic nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.

As President of the United States of Credonia, I call upon both nations to step back and find a peaceful solution to this conflict so that no further attrocities be committed and no more lives of innocent men, women, and children lost. We live in a civil world where civil leaders rule nations. Why dont we act like civilized human beings and resolve this through diplomacy and non-violence."

After delivering his message he went back to his seat at the head of the marble table where his staff continued sitting and working dilligently.

"Secretary [of Defense] Ferguson, what plans do we have available to attack the Generic Empire using a mix of nuclear, biological, chemical and conventional forces should push come to shove?" asked Sutton.

Ferguson turned around and pulled out a thick three-ring binder labeled 'GENERIC EMPIRE - TOP SECRET', walked over to the Presidentand opened it up.

"Well Mr. President, here are some scenario's we've been considering....."

"sir, we have now confirmed ViZion has just dropped two nuclear weapons on Generia"announced a young private exausted private after running form the command center to the Presidents office and bursting through the door.
"What?"
"ViZion has just dropped two nuclear weapons on Generia soil, and one exploded in international waters, ViZion is trying to say it was a malfunction but all other nations say other wise, we have picked up evidence that one fighter malfunctioned and crashed into the sea"
"What the fuck are they trying to pull, I want the entire military to go to defcon 1, try to get more information on the strike, as for Generia I want immediate aid sent, food, water, whatever they need. I want Amphibious Assault Forces 1-4 along with Carrier Task Force #1 to station in international waters north of ViZion, If these idiots try anything else we will crush them, order the task force to escort and guard the Amphibious Assault Forces until orders are given."
"yes sir"
" and private if any vessles enter our territorial waters that arn't ours or allies blow them out of the water, the same goes for tokera controlled air and land"
"yes sir" the private replied as he turned arround and left the room.

"Hello my fellow tokerans, We come to you in a tregic time. We have now recieved word that ViZion had dropped two nuclear weapons on Generia soil, we are now prepared to send any aid that is needed for them, ViZion's actions have yet to be justified.

OOC: The Lightning Plains, you may be in the flight path between GE and Vizion, but you do not border Generia, I don’t know about Vizion. Vizion soldiers occupying you would not do much to assist in an assault on Generia.

Brittonians, unless some other nation gave you nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, your too young to have them.

IC: As soon as the knowledge of the bombers existence began to circulate CAD knowledge Borman citizens began going to underground bunkers and defensive position voluntarily en masse. When the nuclear weapons struck Generian lands all Borman citizens were immediately ordered to head underground.

Address to the world:

Emperor Bhalk steps up to a podium on a low stage. Cameras are aimed at him, ready to give his message to the world. Behind him, highest and largest of all is the flag of the Borneric Empire of Uberness, the empire of the combined nations of Generic Empire and Borman Empire. Beneath it to both sides are the flags of Generic Empire and Borman Empire.

“Your on in 5…”

Good evening world. I am here to speak to you about a tragedy that has occurred to that nation of Generia, our closest ally. A wing of Vizion aircraft began to circle the nation of Generia, their purpose was unknown at the time, and at this point in time we know that they were there to launch an attack upon Generia. When it was discovered that the bombers were carrying nuclear payloads Generia knew they must act to safeguard their nation and people. Before I continue, Id like you to know that the way the nuclear armaments were discovered, was that a Vizion plane malfunctioned and crashed into the water, resulting in the explosion of the nuclear missile. As you may or may not know, for the missile to detonate, it would have had to been armed, it would not detonate if it wasn’t. This in itself as any can see is a sign that these planes were here to commence hostilities, and not on a peaceful mission or for a retaliatory strike. But back to the events that happened. Generia acted quickly to safeguard their nation and peoples, as I’m sure any nation would have done the same. They sent out interceptors to down the aircraft before they could release their payloads. As the Vizion aircraft became aware of rapidly approaching Generian planes they knew they had been discovered and quickly moved in to release their payloads on innocent unsuspecting civilians. Several nuclear missiles detonated on Generian land, taking uncounted lives with them. Fortunately for us the other bombers were taken down before more blood was spilled. As I know many of you do and am sure many more do I find this disgusting, cowardly and not too mention unprovoked attack a sign that the nation of Vizion is more unstable and crazy than I had first imagined. As Borman has stated before, it is now fully proven that Vizion is a danger to themselves and other nations in the world. This nation is now not even fabricating evidence to support their ludicrous and absurd allegations, as they used to. They have gone to the point where they are accusing Generia of assisting and harboring terrorists as well as planning on making aggressive actions against their nation. They have taken what they see in their disillusioned minds as the first step to a safer Vizion. Their mindless and absurd rants and accusations are a danger in and of themselves, but when they take the next step and begin to attack nations with nuclear armaments who they ‘believe’ harbor hostilities, it is clear they need to be stopped. I have seen these situations before, and I know peace will not come. I will go against my better judgment and allow time for the fruitless calls for peace to occur. But after that, I call for the forming of a coalition for a safer world, a world without the nation of Imported Vizion. As has been stated and proved, they are a menace and danger to themselves and the world. Will you stand aside or ally with this nation? For if you do, it may not be long till they accuse your nation of assisting terrorists and planning hostile actions. You may or may not know of a terrorist organization called Angelic Freedom. They made attacks against several nations including Vizion and Phalanix, as well as failed attacks upon Borman. Generic Empire was one of the nations founding a coalition to stop Angelic Freedom and to stop their actions. As you see Vizion had no reason to suspect Generia of hostilities or aim their weapons at them, yet they did, and they fired. When the time for war comes, I ask you to join this coalition to protect the world and existence of millions of peoples. I ask you to put a stop to this menace far beyond sanity and reasoning. Put a stop to the danger known as Vizion.

Official Imperial Statement:

Aircraft of any nation circling Borman controlled airspace not of allied origins will be asked their purpose and to leave. If they are found to have a nuclear payload they will immediately be shot down, and if a nuke reaches Borman, the attack will be reciprocated five fold. If any plane of Vizion origin or of an ally of Vizion are found circling Borman controlled airspace they will be shot down without warning.

Official Imperial Statement-

The Empire thanks the nations of the world for their condolences and offers of aid in this time of crisis following attacks that have already left an estimated 4,000 civilians dead. We thank the nation of Iuthia for their reasonable consideration of events, and for understanding the necessity of intercepting the ViZionarion aircraft flying so close to Generian territory with nuclear missiles that were obviously already armed and targetted. The Empire asks the nations of the world that if caught in a similar position, would they not have acted in a similar manner, considering the sheer destructive power of the weapons in question? We of the Imperial Government also thank the nation of Guffingford for their political support, and ask the nations of the world to pay special heed to the points in their recent statement regarding the belligerent nature of the ViZionarion government.

The Empire further thanks the Psovian government for their offers of condolence and support, and will accept with heartfelt thanks the offer to dispatch vessels to assist in patrolling Generian and CAD waters. We thank the nation of Stevid for their condolences and offers of humanitarian and medical aid. We thank the nation of Tokera for their humanitarian aid in this time of crisis. Lastly, we thank our allies of the CAD for their support of both military and humanitarian nature, and we thank the citizens and governments of all the world’s nations not mentioned here by name that recognize this disaster as what it is: an unprovoked attack on the sovereign soil of Generia.

However, despite this outpouring of support, the Imperial government notes that there are nations that still choose to stand with the ViZionarions following this horrible attack on the Imperial citizenry despite a lack of reason or provocation. We beg these nations to reconsider their stance, and in turn take measures to convince their ally, ViZion, to also reconsider their actions. Though we of the Imperial Government are both saddened and angered by this attack, we still do not wish for a full nuclear conflict, and we continue to implore the nation of ViZion and her allies to concede to discuss matters in a civilized manner. There is no reason why more innocents should be massacred in a war that would no doubt bring about the end of the world as we know it.

Despite our pain at these attacks, we have chosen to take the measured path of peace before retaliation. We offer the government of ViZion one day to accept proper responsibility for the attacks and offer an official apology following a withdrawal of their forces from CAD territory, be it air, land, or sea. We also ask that they stand down their nuclear arsenals and consent to negotiations in a neutral nation. However, seeing as a state of war exists between ViZion and Generia on account of her own declaration, any ViZionarion or ViZionarion allied aircraft, seacraft, or land forces found to be within or within one mile of Imperial territorial boundaries will be fired upon and destroyed. The Imperial armed forces will remain on high alert until the situation is defused.

Murdock: Make it so. Activate any military units that are still enert and prepare the communications room for my address.

Tech.: I'm on it sir.

Under the blue light Murdock, flanked by a pair of G36 wielding bodyguards, rose from his seat and began to cross the room. Turning as he passed the enormous display screen currently showing maps and information on Imported ViZion military deployments as well as live updates on casualty counts for the attacks on Generia. Exiting through a door into a brightly lit room with a black curtain over one wall and a Shenyangi flag hanging behind a podium with the High Council's seal on it in gold. The guards took their positions on either side of Murdock and signaled to the camera operator to begin the live feed.

All over Shenyang:
TV programs were interupted as the address room appeared on every TV which was on. Murdock stood, solemnly at the podium, the guards one either side.

Murdock: Citizens of Shenyang. As you no doubt know, our ally Generic Empire was attacked today. A ViZionarian force of fighters and bombers launched several nuclear weapons at the unsuspecting civilian population. This blatant act of aggression cannot be allowed to repeat. As a result we are behind our allies one hundred percent. Currently they hope to bring about a diplomatic solution. If and when these talks fail, I am afraid that there will be a large and bloody war, with many casualties. I know that you are frightened. The aggressors having skirted our airspace, and I regret not taking action to stop them then. However as of this moment we will not allow a repeat incident. Any attempt to strike the mainland, or our islands will be repulsed before it can be launched. Any non-allied vessel or aircraft within one mile of our coastal waters will be percieved as a threat and eliminated as such if they do not send identification immediately. Our fighter squadrons and border defenses will keep our great nation safe from any attack. As a result I wish that you will continue your lives as normal, in spite of the terrible events that have occurred. Good night, and may God bless you all.

Address Room:

Murdock stepped away from the podium and returned to the War Room. Sitting down at his seat he studied the casualty count.

Murdock: Over 4000 dead... I hope they have a good explanation for this, or they won't have a chance to explain anything in the future.

Official repsonse from the Green Sun Government:
"This event was purely accidental. ViZion's airplane had a malfunction which caused the nuclear explosion and Generia responded as any nation would. Green Sun does not point fingers at anybody.
"However, ViZion should worry about themselves. If ViZion's warnings are true, then we must work TOGETHER and trust each other to find and destroy these threats. We must set aside our differences and try to make it through this situation without causing the end of mankind.
"ViZion should worry about itself for now and not act apon suspisions and grudges of the past. We should worry about the present. ViZion was suspisious and thought Generia would be an enemy so they tried to have the situation in their favor by sending their forces to patrol international waters near a potential foe.
"Generia did what they thought was best by neutralizing a potential enemy, which at the time was already very dangerous. ViZion should continue its patrols, but only around its own territories and allow Generia and the rest of the world to take care of itself. ViZion has done its part in warning us, but it seems that their past has caused them to act in a manner that was not necessary for an already-delicate situation. We need to work together here to find this threat. If ViZion contiues these actions, then it will become clear that they, themselves, are the threat."

You seem to not be awar of the fact that the Vizion plane malfunctioned causing a crash. The nuclear missile detonated, something that could not have happened if were unarmed. Meaning the missile was laready armed and presumably aimed at Generian targets, the malfunction did not cause the explosion, but rather revealed to the world Vizion's intentions.

From General Homer

We are fully aware that it was a malfunction that caused the crash. And ViZion had the weapon ready to react quickly if Generia attacked first. It was a stupid error they should not have done, but one that would prove effective if it came to the need of using it. To settle this arguement, why don't we contact ViZion adn ask for the direction and speed they werre taking at the time of the crashes? If the planes were headed strait for Generia, then we can presume had hostile intentions. But if they were patroling the border between international and Generian waters, then they were merely preparing.

Do you honestly expect Vizion to reveal the truth? Their planes could have been above Generian cities dropping bombs and firing nukes, and I have no doubt they would claim they were in international waters. And the only reason Generia was prompted to and did attack was because nuclear weapons were hovering just off their coast and those weapons were ready to launch. Vizion has fabricated this whole idea that Generia wants to attakc them and wil take the first step, there was nothing to be afraid of, untill it was revealed they were carrying nuclear weapons. There was no need to use it.

The Omzian government cannot help but to express our grave concern at this apparant slaughter of the citizens of the Generic Empire. Though we do not enjoy full ties with our counterparts at the Generic Empire, we must express our sincere condolences for the innocent lives lost to this series of war crimes, conducted so poorly and cowardly under the guise of 'an accident'. It is overly obvious that while Generic Empire interceptors attacked these aircraft outside the boundary of their territorial claim, it is also well understood that the actions of the ViZion aircraft are clear and reckless provocations, thus we feel that such circumstances could lead to the production of different interpretations in regards to "who is right, who is wrong". However, at the same time, even though such nuclear attack conducted by ViZion could fuel much anger, we must urge both parties to seek ways and methods to avoid a bloodshed of nuclear armageddon, as such event would not be conducted in the best interests of either parties.

As we have already severed existing ties with ViZion and has shut down current diplomatic telecommunication lines between our two nations, we also offer the victim - Generic Empire - another peaceful solution to solve this problem. The Omzian regional court as Kanze has already expressed an interest, as a neutral (at least, militarily and politically neutral) party, to try the war criminals of ViZion - including the President of ViZion and the military leaders who are responsible for such attack against Generic Empire - in a neutral Omzian court in absentia. We feel that such method would be a plausible method to at the very least, prove the crimes of the ViZion leaders peacefully and fairly in court. As Omzian law enables the death penalty (including lethal injection) and forced labour (even though the death penalty has not been practiced in thirty years in Omzian history), it is certainly possible for an Omzian court to sentence President Maybury of ViZion to be sentenced to death in absentia if he is convicted of war crimes.

If Generic Empire shows interest, we are willing to invite Generic Empire witnesses and other judicial representatives into the Omzian court. ViZion is also encouraged to send representatives into this court as well. The court sessions, which will all be conducted in the governmental capital (meaning, no entry or leave without authorization) of Osaria, will consist of a neutral Omzian judge penal and a group of fourty-five Omzian juries (including thirty civilians, ten government, and five from the Omzian Air Force's Air Defence Command). Though the Omzian court system is different in many respects from the those of others, we hope that Generic Empire will take interest in the trial of ViZion leaders - responsible for the attacks against the Generic Empire - in absentia.

The Omzian Republic would once again liek to reiterate its neutrality in the situation.

I don't have any opposition to ordering to retreat their forces for security, but attacking them would make you no better than they. If any damage was actually done to Generian cities or towns, then we can presume that they have invaded their space. We must look at all factors before picking sides.

I must take Generia's side, as we have merged into one empire and thus an attack upon Generia is literally an attack upon Borman, so I too have been attacked.

Official Statement from the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/iuthia.jpg

After watching the Credonian responce to this attrocity commited against the Generian people, we can only turn our back on them in disgust. Had their own nation been goaded in such a manner we are sure that the Credonian war machine would not tolerate such a blatant act of aggression from a nation such as Guffingford... especially after a nuclear 'accident' which caused the loss of Credonian lives through tidal waves.

Yet we see no efforts from the ViZionarian government to make this situation right, no attempts to say sorry for an incident they shouldn't have started... not even an apology for an accident they made which cost the lives of Generian innocents and still the Credonian government is prepared to follow their crazed allies on the path to destruction. Still the Credonian goverment calls for "Peaceful Resolution" while their allies won't even make an effort... meanwhile we have done our part to help the Generian people and they have done their part to resolve this peacefully.

Odd how the majority of nations have reckognised this incident for what it is... funny almost that they condemn ViZion for being so provocative, but they are innocent right? They are the good guys right? Threatening other nations over a threat they have barely revealed as "terrorists with WMDs", warning us that we should stand down and flying nuclear bombs near other nations claiming self defence.

But surely isn't the idea to make their nation safer? Isn't the idea of provoking nations in such an obvious way just completely contary to the idea of making your people safe? If they aren't guilty of purposefully goading other nations to take action to defend themselves, then they are surely guilty of stupidity.

So what is it? Incompetance or aggression?

Needless to say, we've seen all we need to see of the Credonian government. We can't trust your officials anymore, so blind they are that they would support such a heinous act which only endangers themselves further. Sure, Iuthia has rarely ever seen eye-to-eye with the RWC or their allies, we have made numberous statements against their wrongs in the past... but this time they are hardly in the wrong, they have lost men and women and yet you threaten them with nuclear weapons...

No, we cannot trust your people anymore. As such, your embassy in Iuthia has a weeks notice to comply with their status change from a 'Trusted Nation' to a 'Blacklisted Nation', your people will be searched upon entering the country reguardless of their diplomatic status... if they do not wish to operate under those conditions then they are welcome to leave, our own people are prepared to follow such conditions in your country, or leave should you wish it, but we no longer value your company... only tolerate it.

We would of course say the same to others like Green Sun, but we have little previous contact with them and judging by their warped view of events, we don't want contact with them. Afterall, those nuclear weapons were armed and they were flying them within a mile of their borders... despite the fact that thousands of miles split their two nations, to fly so close is clearly an act of provocation and thus aggression, smart defence does not include shoving your nuclear weapons in your enemies face... any idiot could see that.

To the ViZionarian government... again, we advise that some form of apology is made, either your government is responcible for gross negligence or they are actively seeking to start a nuclear war with the Genarian people, if you have a shred of decency you will apology for the loss of life you have caused.

President David 'Cheeser12' Conway had been briefed by his staff of the situation. It was alarming and dangerous, and could possibly escalate into full on nuclear war. The key was to keep the public informed, but calm. After all, Cheeser12 had stayed off the radar, it couldn't be in real danger, could it? Only time would tell.

The President stood nervously at the podium in the Presidential Palace, adjusting his tie and looking out at the mass of reporters seated and cameras focused on him. He was going on live TV. He needed to stay calm and not scare the public.
"Mr. President, you are on in 5....4....3....2...."
The President gulped and began his speech.
"Citizens of Cheeser12, I am sure you have heard of the events transpiring around the world. It is a troubling situation. It is a dangerous situation. But it is one that must be handled calmly and carefully. As you know, the nation of ViZion has locked itself down and has military units patrolling their streets due to the fear that the Phalanixian War Council was planning to overthrow the government and attack anyone who had ties with the old one. These accusations caused many nations around the world to begin mass moblizations either with or against ViZion. We were not one of those nations. Since there was no hard proof being shown of this allegedly planned coup, we had decided to simply remain neutral for the time being. But a recent event has changed that stance. Some of you may have heard rumors of a nuclear device being detonated off the coast of the Generic Empire. I am here to confirm these rumors."

Gasps were heard around the room as the flash of cameras went off wildly
.
"A ViZionare air group consisting of F-22 fighter jets and B-2 bombers were flying around the coast of the Generic Empire in international waters carrying nuclear weapons in the case of war. A flight malfunction caused one of the F-22s to crash into the ocean, causing the nuclear device on board to be detonated. The Generic Empire then launched an attack on this air group, which is an act of war. And a short time ago, the Generic Empire and ViZion have entered a state of war."

More gasps and flashes. Many knew that this could be big: possibly the next World War, in a worse case scenario.

"We have had good relations with ViZion in the past and believe that they are not at fault in this incident. The device was detonated within international waters. As such, they should not be attacked, and there was no justifiable reason for the air group to be attacked. I have no choice but to declare a state of war between ourselves and the Generic Empire and her allies which are helping her in this war.

The largest number of gasps so far. Cheeser12 had never been in a war before. And it would be going against many large nations. Could it last in full scale war?

"However, the Generic Empire has urged all involved to keep nuclear weapons out. We are also urging all involved to search for a peaceful solution to this conflict. However, until that peaceful solution comes, a state of war exists and we must take precautionary measures.
The nation is now officially at DEFCON 1. All reservists are being called up for duty. Also, there will be a no fly zone over Cheeser12 besides officialy authorized allied aircraft. A quarantine will also be effective immediatey due to the threat of terrorism and the possibility of a substance known as 'Acigoo' infiltrating our borders. However, it is not confirmed that Acigoo does exist. If it does, it can eat through many substances and is a great threat to us all. Nobody will enter or leave the People's Republic.
Also, expect to see military personnel and vehicles around the streets. We also urge all civilians to stay indoors. If you need to leave your home, do so for the shortest period of time possible. I know this is a scary time for everyone but I urge you to remain calm. I also urge able citizens to enlist in the military for the possible conflict ahead.
This declaration of war is to protect freedom around the world from the people who threaten it: the fascist, imperical nations who wish to attack our way of life. But we must show them that we are not threatened, and that freedom will reign.
Once again, I urge all citizens to stay indoors and follow government orders."
The President walked off the stage from a flash of cameras and the chatter of reporters.

Around the nation, everyone else remained silent, shocked by the news. They knew that a dark time was ahead, and they would need to be ready.

Encrypted Reply:
You are welcome to have your forces come to our land. Thank you for your support. We were within our sovereign right to do as we wish. We did not launch an attack, nor did any ViZionarian property cross into their territories until we were attacked, which is an act of war.

Rather they wish to believe it or not, we were not planning an offensive. They were there purely and simply as a reactionary force should a massive offensive be launched against ViZion. Yet they claim we were headed straight for Generia, in which our course, if you bothered to take a look, showed we were going around, not even towards it, after nearing the border.

Then they launch an offensive after a malfuction caused one of our flights to crash, and a nuclear weapon to detonate. All of this happened in international airspace and water.

Once again, we thank you for your support. We were simply trying to assert our military so that should they dare attack us, we would be right there to retaliate. Unfortunately, they took out the retalitory forces instead.

Thank you.

Iuthia

21-07-2005, 04:23

"...and thus we will continue our work with the Aelosian's to complete our first Mars colony on schedule, thanks. Next question please." It had been a rather warm day in Iuthia, now in the middle of summer with the humidity high and the sun beaming down on the nation, many of the citizens were outside enjoying the rays wearing little more then sunscreen and a smile. Meanwhile Mick Lakely, Iuthia's foreign minister and head hancho at the Iuthian Diplomatic Corps was answering questions on the latest news around Iuthia, not least the International Incident created by the ViZionarian Government.

"Minister Lakely; now that President Conway, leader of the People's Republic of Cheeser12 has declared war on both the Generic Empire and their allies, what is the Iuthian Governments responce to this latest developement?" The journalist was clearly foreign in nature, as many of the INN representatives were more interested in key Iuthian affairs... the whole incident with ViZion was more on the minds of other nations in the Urbanites region, as the Iuthian people were actually very uninterested in the majority of Iuthia's foreign affairs... something the government encouraged.

"Well, looking at their statements it's clear to see that as a 'neutral nation' they have already breached their neutrality by declaring war... not only on Generic Empire themselves, but also on all their allies whom so far have not taken any action what so ever other than to condemn the attrocities of the ViZionarian Military."

Mick sighed, looking over at the room, the air conditioning kept the entire room at a very comfortable temperature, but already the fire and brimstone tone of which Mick had taken was attracting more attention from his listeners.

"Concider, if you will that the ViZionarian Government is doing what it feels is best for it's people, acting on information it feels to be one hundred percent accurate... however, instead of informing the world of this threat they have chosen give vague warning and threaten many nations who are simply looking for answers at this time...

Furthermore, instead of being honest about their intentions and the possible threats they feel are present from the Generic Empire, they have instead chosen to avoid diplomacy; not even informing us of this threat, and in the name of 'defence' place nuclear bombers on the borders of this nation, provoking a reaction from them.

"Sure, their fighters were over international waters... albeit one measly mile away from those territorial limits, however it is the policy of many nations to respond to clear and present threats to their peoples safety by dealing with those threats directly. This does not mean attacking people in the open seas for no reason... but to respond to enemy vessels which are clearly staging their forces outside your nation preparing for an attack.

"Now think for a moment... the defence given by the ViZionarian Government and their allies was that these bombers were there to present a warning to the Generic Empire not to attack, however in order for a warning to work you have to tell the enemy about it and looking back on the situation and the conversations we have had with the Generic Empire, there absolutely no communication from the bombers, or their government voicing the fact those bombers were there as a precaution.

"No, instead what the Generic Empire saw was a bunch of radar blips in places where they shouldn't be, after the nuclear 'accident' if you can call it that, there was a clear and present threat of nuclear attack... afterall, they just noticed these blips were nuclear and they are right on their borders, no warning as to why there were there and with the fact that tidal waves now travelled to the Generian peoples shores there was just the fact that these things were dangerous.

"So... like we have said all along, it's a matter of protecting yourself. The ViZionarian Goverment just stuck bombers on another nations borders and expected them to just leave them alone... complete idiocy or a planned action to start a war. The fact they don't apologise or make any efforts to correct their wrong only further supports this. The simple truth is that there was no need for their forces to be there as they could have done it from much further away much more safely without starting what they claim to be avoiding... but of course; it's a matter of working out if they are stupid or actually planning to start something."

Mick sighed again, now on his ending note. "So to sum it up, we feel that the People's Republic of Cheeser12 are not in the least bit neutral and that they have simply viewed this whole manner in a way so they can defend their friends... furthermore they make the situation worse by declaring war, not talking peace. What can I say other then that the Iuthian Government condemns their nations bias and lack of diplomacy."

Meanwhile Iuthia in this case is a strong supporter of International Stability through it's own idea of morality, which can be a little different from others, however it needs to be said that it's very clear that ViZion is simply highly unstable at this point from a IC point of view... otherwise we would prefer to support them (as we don't get on well with the GE or their allies) but we do tend to condemn pretty much anyone which damages our view of a stable community.

That and I'm a OOC jerk who likes to ICly slap nations for silly actions.

The 30 B-2 bombers that had previous been sent out not long after the accidental nuclear blast were being recalled.

However, the nuclear naval forces continued to scower the oceans in prepration for a nuclear war, should one occur. However, direct ordered from President Maybury to these vessals changed thing.

As ordered, they were to be within striking range of hostile nations, but go no closer than four miles from the borders.

Two nuclear B-2 bombers, though, were once again sent out. Once they reach their marked position, they would open their orders. They were flanked this time by 30 F-22's and 10 F/A-18's.

OOC: Final OOC note as there is way too much OOC going on in this thread, even if alot of it is from the author himself asking people to wait... but I request as politely as I can that you inform the people with ViZionarian Military units near their nation so that their Early Detection systems can have a chance to make out that something is there... even in the case of submarines, four nautical miles away from their nations waters isn't take much and if they are like me and have the large part of their navy around their waters and patrolling outside of those waters too then there is a chance they could be spotted and it would be RPed, like "My submarine attempts to stay completely silent as the patrol comes near" or something like that...

The idea is to give people a OOC idea if they have something they may accidently spot outside their waters as we all react differently to it... if you incist on being vague about who it is, you could telegram all the nations who are being watched or you could have your vessels far enough out (you have a huge range as a nuclear sub....) so not to be noticed as even watching but just doing what normal subs do...

Imperial Statement Regarding the Mobilization of Freudotopian Armed Forces

Yesterday, over four thousand people died because of an arrogant and aggressive action by the antagonistic nation of ViZion. The Freudotopian people mourn deeply the loss of so many of our Generian brothers and sisters, their lives needlessly ended because of one nation’s unquenchable hubris and bloodlust. Although we weep for the loss of Generian lives, we are certain that those responsible will be made to pay for their crimes.

The entire Freudotopian Armed Forces have been mobilized for immediate action, and a State of War now exists between the Ruthless Imperium of Freudotopia and the nation of ViZion and all her allies. Freudotopian Corporations have been encouraged to devote much of their time and abilities to the war effort.

At this point, Emperor Saul Hudson the Illuminator, Emperor of The Ruthless Imperium of Freudotopia, would like to personally address the leaders and people of ViZion:

http://usera.imagecave.com/mobrule132001/Slashsetthebomb.bmp.jpg

Freudotopians will stop at nothing to defend their homeland and the lands of their allies. No ViZionarian will land on CAD shores without bathing in the blood of his comrades. We shall never surrender, and we will strike where we are least expected, destroying the aggressors at every turn.

Freudotopia wishes to make it known to the international community that if ViZion attempts to use nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons against Freudotopia at any time, our response will be swift, brutal, and unrelenting. At any cost, we will drive ViZion and all her allies from the fair lands of the CAD forever.

In conclusion, we would offer ViZion one chance, one final chance, to apologize for its actions, make full reparations to the Generian Government, and remove all military forces from the territorial seas of the CAD for all time. If ViZion refuses, she will quickly feel the wrath of not only Freudotopia, but the many nations who deplore the recent actions of ViZion’s government. If this final chance is not taken, we can assure the government of ViZion that its military will be crushed. The Bornerifreudic Empire, the CAD, and our many allies will repel your attacks with utmost force. ViZion and all its citizens have been warned. Now is the time for any free ViZionarians to rise up against their cruel and callous government and change their nation for the better. If not, then they can only pray for our mercy. As of now, the Freudotopian Imperium is beginning a full wartime mobilization, and calling up all Freudian military reserve forces to combat the threat of ViZion and her allies.

Cabinet War Rooms

PM Conroy walked down the short hallway leading to the main conference room deep underground in the Cabinet War Rooms. He was calm and had no fear showing through him, ViZion and Cheeser12 were a very long way from Stevid and so the populace and Parliment weren't worried at this stage.

He entered the Conference room.

"Okay, good morning everyone, would any of you care to give me news on any developments?"

A single piece of paper was given to him by a lady sitting a few feet away, she was the Home Service Minister, also there were the main defence cheifs and Marshals, all awaiting to see what Conroy would say to them after reading the paper.

Conroy sat down and read... there was a small pause and then he lifted his head and placed the paper down on the table.

"Well, I heard on the news when I got up about Cheeser12 and them addressing everyone that they would retaliate if ViZion was attacked... but this is disturbing. I didn't think Credonia, of all nations, see these terrible attacks and then stand by ViZion side."

The Army General Spoke up suddenly.

"You have to admit sir that Credonia has got a reason for, they are allied with ViZion, politically they have to stand by ViZion, but they have no moral case to stand with them. It is unlikely that they will make a major involvement in this."

"I don't know General, in every case so far Credonia has rushed to the defence of it's allies, this is no different... Okay, i'll write to President Sutton and see if I can try and avoid conflict with our new ally.
"Now more importantly comes our mobilisation against ViZion and their more aggressive allies like Cheeser12. Admiral West?"

"Sir, the Royal Navy is ready to go at your discresion, the Super Dreadnoughts have all been completed and the Navy has already under gone that massive refit a couple of months ago. We're once again one of the top Navies in the world but I am worried.."

"About?"

"About, lack of experiance, our sailors are extremly well trained but haven't seen any major action."

"They will. Is the army and RAF ready?"

There were nods around the table.

"Good, right, all of you work together and get a large Task Force formed, I want it done today people. Meanwhile I'll address those people involved.

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/stevid.jpg

Good morning everyone. After the recent events that have happened over and allied nation I stated that Stevid would allow ViZion time to get themselves out of this hole that they have dug themselves. So far they have made no real move what so ever to sort out what they have done.

I have made my desision on what to do and I'm sure that other nations will agree that it is a desision that everyone would rather avoid, however ViZion has left us no choice but to lift the alotted time limit and declare a State of War on the nation of ViZion. We will display our Task Force sometime today.

On another note, the Stevid Parliment is suprised by Credonia's stance on this by standing by ViZion as their ally. The Stevid Goverenment understand the commitments Credonia has made to their allies and sort of understands this move.

However, if conflict does brake out en mass, then I would rather not end up attacking Credonian forces. So I will address President Sutton sometime today so that we may be able to work something out without damaging international ties between our two nations.

Thank you

Signed
David Conroy- PM of Stevid

"We have had good relations with ViZion in the past and believe that they are not at fault in this incident. The device was detonated within international waters. As such, they should not be attacked, and there was no justifiable reason for the air group to be attacked. I have no choice but to declare a state of war between ourselves and the Generic Empire and her allies which are helping her in this war.

To: President David 'Cheeser12' Conway
From: The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor of The Supreme OverLordian Empire of Zerbia, CAD Member.

I shall enjoy, and most look forward to, should the need arise, to erasing your subhuman existence, making it melt like your namesake, upon the grill of perfect and pure reality as visioned by the Zerbian race, of which you have no right to share the same oxygen with because of your sheer subhumanity.

The Supreme Zerbian OverLord Chancellor of The Supreme OverLordian Empire of Zerbia.

Secret IC continued...

The Navy of The Zerbian War Machine patrolled the dark Zerbian waters, on the hunt, and on the defence, ready to attack if need be.

They had been aware through Sat and Sonar Intell of non-CAD navy vessels patrolling four miles from Zerbian waters, and it had been confirmed they were not fellow CAD members upon communication with other CAD navy vessels, who were constantly informing each other of their paths.

Zerbian Orbital Weapons Platforms were still aimed at ViZion, although a unknown number had now been alligned to target and eradicate Cheeser12 should the need arise.

The Zerbian War Machine, alongside it's fellow CAD allies, was ready, as it always was, for War.

Secret IC:

Ministry of Defence - Strategic Command - Naval Affairs

Paul Kruger, the president of Guffingford was standing behind the desk of the director of the naval affairs division. All of them were sure that ViZion was going to make a bold move one day. And that day may come sooner than everybody thinks, so precaution is a requirement. Representatives from the mainly ship oriented freestates such as Oos Seeland and Kaap Suidelike Vrystaat are all present; ready to put forth their opinions and advice where to deploy logistical craft, surprise attacks and other nasty surprises.

It was well known ViZion was an established player on the international stage, connected and allies to many. The situation, and the possibility of Guffingford coming under direct attack - was high. ViZion's leadership was obviously headless, beheaded by lust for power and sitting high on a throne of arrogance and ignorance. Feeling that they cannot be touched. A false sense of security because of their many allies. Such behaviour will not stand long, and perhaps this is the time where it all comes together.

The haydays of the RWC and NATO are over. The NWO has fallen into obscurity as Euroslavia, the leader of that alliance took over and disbanded. The UWP is unheard of, only in books and old government factsheets they are still alive. Otherwise braindead. This will be new, no major alliances. No, blocs of nations who are either promoting freedom as an excuse to satisfy their own imperialistic desires, or are in it for fortune and glory because of victory.

'Men and women, I do not think that I have to mention that, some nations are planning strikes against Generic Empire. Though our relation with them and the CAD...'
'Except for Doomingsland Sir.'
'Yes, thank you Mr Moorehouse. So, but we do know a bloc of nations consisting of Credonia, ViZion and Cheeser12 are tightly allied. Jarridia too, but they are on a higher moral ground.'
'Indeed, Jarridia is a special case. I am fairly certain they do not disapprove these actions if, and only if nuclear weapons weren't used.'
'True Mr Sterkfontein. Iuthia is also against ViZion in every possible way, Omz222 too.'
'Chances are,' Mr Moorehouse continued 'that a wedge will be driven in Haven because of this conflict. I think the idea of Haven being unified as one against a nation like ViZion is extremely unlikely.'
'So who do we have,' Mr Sterkfontein, the national security advisor replied 'Xeraph will help. Thankfully Verbotten Luftewaffe has decended into anarchy again so they cannot aid. The Westwood Alliance, CFA... However, these alliances are fractured.'
'Indeed' another man said 'McLeod03 is known to be more on our side in such conflicts. Remember they have stood up for the rights of several terrorist nations because of Credonian aggression.'
'Good' Mr Kruger said. 'Now we have a very complex situation.'

This discussion continued for a few hours, and in the end an important decision was made: Captain Max Merriweather Dafydd was ordered to take his 11th and 9th fleet to Suez while Captain Lorgan Vimes had to take his fleets (8th and 12th) to Gribraltar. The orders were strict, do not intervene unless ordered to so explicitly.

OOC: The empire has nuclear fuel resources, and has had for a while now, so we can easily manufacture nuclear weapons. You can knock up a batch of ricin in your kitchen sink and you can also knock up some pretty lethal chemical weapons with a basic chemistry set also. SO not to young to have them at all. Delivery systems are the hard part, but considering we bought a shedload of such delivery systems off of an arms dealer (as well as other products) a while back, watch out. And also OOC, unless the nuclear weapon had actually been released from the aircraft, it would not be armed, they don't arm until deployed, so this was all a terrible accident, with the nuclear failsafes not working. Generia struck first and as such we stand by Vizion to the end.

IC:

Prime Ministers Office, Command Bunker, Empire City

'So we're convinced that Vizion did not act aggresively then' asked the PM

'Well sir, our scientists have informed us that the nuclear failsafe on the weapon must simply have malfunctioned....however sir...'

'However what general, tell me now dammit'

'We must consider that, someone with something to gain from all this, with the right intel and connections, could have sabotaged that nuke and that aircraft to cause all of this, if someone knew what they were doing, it would be quite easy'

OOC: Quite like this little plot twist, opens up all sorts of other routes for the story.

IC:

'My word, get this sent to VIzionarian HQ at this instant, they may not have thought of this, also, broadcast it to all parties involved in this, and ask them to halt any further action until we find the truth.'

'Immediately sir' with that the general was gone.

The PM was left to contemplate this worrying new twist, could someone really be trying to bring about a nuclear war by manipulating the world leaders, one thing was for sure, the weren't getting to the Empires WMDs.

'General....GENERAL, come abck one second please' said the PM

'Yes sir, what is it?'

'Just in case a mole is within our forces, I want men only you trust around our WMDs, tell them to shoot anyone suspicious, we don't get a second chance in this thing.'

'OK sir, anything else?'

'No thankyou general, carry on.'

All of this amde the PM even more firm on his position of support for ViZion, for he believe whole heartedly the antion had not meant at that point to detonate the nuclear weapon, whilst they may well have been planning an attack on Generia, it still stands the Generians fired first. From this, the PM summoned the naval chief, he was withdrawing the sub from ViZions waters to send it to work with the one off Generias cost, lurking silent, undetecable, but ready to rain down hell if the situation called for it.

OOC: Arguing an IC point in OOC is rather bad form really, Brittonia... I would advice that you keep IC opinions IC, yes the weapon shouldn't have armed until it was just about to fire (if I remember correctly, nuclear weapons are armed prior to launch, though I'm willing to admit I could be wrong) but arguing how ViZion is in the right is an IC point of view and should be left IC, personally I see it differently especially because I don't reckognise international law, but also because it's a damn stupid action to do in order to defend your nation. Now I'll keep my views IC if you will... lets not make this OOC.

Reading the latest developements in the whole incident, it was clear that General Turgidson that this wasn't going to be an simple matter of an apology and a truce... the ViZionarian Government and their allies simply didn't want to accept responcibility for killing Generian Citizens. Shaking his head thought about how ironic the situation was becoming, many others looked at nations like the Generic Empire and their allies and condemned the manner they treated others, high on their moral high ground. However, with this latest incident it was blatantly clear that the loss of Generian lives didn't mean a thing to them... they had de-humanised the people of the Generic Empire, something one would expect from an 'Axis of Evil' nation.

The General sighed and continued reading. Personally he couldn't understand the mentally of supporting an ally on the path to destruction... had Iuthia done these things it would likely have lost support from the NDA outright, despite their strong relations with the NDA, the alliance wouldn't accept stupidity at that level and would push them to do the smart thing, not the right thing nessicarily, but the smart thing. But now it was just a matter of standing by their ally, even if it ment shredding what little respect remained for their integrity...

They still haven't apologised for the chaos they have caused... he couldn't get past that. Moral nations arguing how it wasn't the ViZionarian's were innocent, doing all they could to avoid the simply fact their ally had killed men, women and children through their negligence and poor decisions. No, it was all Generic Empires fault... they had done it all and they should apologise, not ViZion.

Nevermind, they had set their fates with ViZion now; with all the diplomacy ironically coming from the Axis of Evil nations it was clear that the entire notion was being turned on it's head as those who are normally warmongerers were now making the effort for peace, and those who claimed to side with good were just making excuses, avoiding whatever responcibilty they can and pinning the blame on the 'evil'.

With a short call, Iuthia's readiness was brought up a notch... hardly what others would call 'mobilisation' as nations like Credonia had already put themselves on some of their highest alerts recently, further adding that they would supprt ViZion if the Generic Empire looked for revenge... ironic that GE hadn't really and had even made an effort for peace. No, Iuthia's increased readiness was more or less about increased patrols of Iuthia waters and air space, with intelligence both satellite and standard being pushed harder for as much information as they could get. A small amount of leave was cancelled but unlike other nations forces were not being staged or prepared to leave the nation... they were just more ready, just in case. Meanwhile the NAFDA defence was prepared, just in case someone tried to pull a ViZion.

Over in the Generic Empire, Iuthian INOC workers were doing what they could to save any more lives from the hazards of radiation... there was no real Iuthian presence in the nation, they trusted the Generian's to defend their aid workers from further aggression so no Iuthian military was present. Less then one hundred men and women made their reports about the incident, helping the locals and gathering evidence where they could.

It was sad that these precautions had to be taken... but with nations like Credonia standing by their aggressive allies, the idea that formally moral nations were going to stand by those standards was long gone. It was a shame, but some of the magic the international community brought was now dead, as dead as the lives of those poor bastards who died over an "accident" which should never have happened.

Arrest Warrant Issued For President Maybury For War Crimes; Trial of President Maybury in absentia Begins at the Omzian Regional International War Crimes Tribunal

OSARIA (OSSN) - As the trial for President Maybury of ViZion has concluded its final stages of preparation with a large team of Omzian legal representatives and other personnel, an arrest warrant has been issued by the Omzian Ministry of Criminal Investigation for the arrest of the ViZion President Maybury into Omzian custody, to stand trial before a panel of Omzian judges and jury members for 4,556 counts of murder and an assortment of war crime counts. Though many already realize that taking President Maybury into Omzian custody would be highly unlikely, the Ministry of Criminal Investigation stated that "we have issued the warrant based on factual evidence of the war crimes committed by President Maybury of ViZion."

In the courthouse however, the trial of President Maybury in absentia has already started. In the courthouse of a regional Omzian court, the judge panel of the newly formed Omzian Regional International War Crimes Tribunal has formally announced the 4,556 counts of murder and war crimes against civilians. Though Generic Empire witnesses are not present, a group of ten officers from the Omzian Air Force's Space and Intelligence Command has been ordered to stand as witnesses.

However, outside the court houses, large protests are already spawning against the ViZion nation and its President Maybury. Protestors openly called out for the court to sentence President Maybury to death by hanging in absentia, while others burnt the flags of ViZion along with dummies depicting President Maybury. Though a contigent of regional police and the People's Armed Police has been dispatched to control the protest, the anger and resentment against ViZion among the civilian population is now clear.

OOC: Since I assume I'm considered one of the hostile nations, here we go.

IC: (SNS Restitution: submarine stationed at edge of Shenyangi territorial waters)

The Restitution rose above the thermoclime after checking for any deep running contacts. It was using its silent drive unit, so was near undetectable, and even if it was detected, any attack on it would be a direct act of war, resulting in the total annihilation of the aggressor vessels.

Sonar: Con, Sonar we have contacts bearing 01 mark 33, multiple surface vessels, inbound on on our position.

Con: Affirmative Sonar, prepare to go active once they reach five miles from our waters.

Sonar: Roger, current range: six miles and closing. 5.8, 5.6, 5.4, 5.2, 5.0. Going active.

The sonar array aboard the sub let out a series of pings, ten total, over the course of one minute to get as accurate a fix on the contacts as possible. The pings lashed the hulls of the surface vessels, and any subs in the area; resounding through the ships with deafening intensity, and returning to the Restitution.

Con: Plot shooting solutions for all contacts. Load tubes 1-3 with Mk. 41s and 4-6 with Shkvals. Flood all tubes but keep the doors closed for now.

All involved groups: Affrimative.

Sonar: Shooting solutions plotted.

Torpedo Room: Tubes loaded, awaiting orders.

Approaching ViZion Airspace

Colonel Quintus glanced at the GPS map. Waypoint Alpha was coming up soon. Thankfully, the use of long range missiles allowed for he and his comrades to stay out of enemy airpace for the duration of the mission. Switching on active radar wave cancellation and arming the missiles, he breathed a heavy sigh. He was fireing the first shot in this noble Crusade against these infidels.

The bomb bay doors swung open, and out dropped the missiles, quickly igniting their solid fuel rocket engines and streaking over the water towards the enemy capital. They were literally one thousand naughtical miles away, therefore well out of enemy airspace. They would take any chances, though. Upon releasing their payload, they immediatly turned tail and headed for home, accelerating to mach three.

The missiles continued on their own, of course, guided via GPS. Each had 35 preprogrammed targets that could be cycled through in flight. The missiles would continue at mach 2.2, skimming the sea, eventualy reaching land. Once over land, they would hug the ground, using the terrain to their advantage. Active radar wave cancellation (preventing smaller, less powerfull radar (such as those found on fighters) from picking them up) and the fact they were flying low (preventing AWACS aircraft from effectively picking them up) made them extremely difficult to pick up. Their high speed and ability to use the terrain to their advantage made them even harder to engage. They would continue on to the capital and hit enemy government structures, detonating their 1,000lb warheads upon penetration of the structures.

Forty-eight missiles were now on their way to deliver a blow to enemy morale...

OOC: Ugh....i said a while back that i sucked at diplomatic stuff. Lemme clear some things up tho

1. I said I declared war against those who would support GE in a war against ViZion. At least, I meant that.

2. My nation IS looking for peace. But since GE had already attacked ViZionare planes, I assumed that meant its war-time. But whatever, I'll retract the declaration.......for now.

IC:

President David Conway made another speech today.
"The declaration of war was made hastily and without much thought. We apologize to the international community and are withdrawing the declaration.
All other precautionary measures are being kept, and I am still moving military support to ViZion, but I am now moving the DEFCON up to DEFCON 2. I once again urge everyone to find a peaceful solution, but know that if ViZion is attacked, we will respond militarily.
Also, other nations have found it neccesary to threaten us. To those nations, I would like to say, know that if you attack us, you will find us more than you can handle. We have lived under tyranny once, and by God, we will not live under it again."

The last message brought cheers from the crowd watching, and many flags of Cheeser12 were woven around proudly and patrioticly.

Just then, one of the President's Secret Service members relayed a message to him about the nation of Doomingsland bombing ViZion.
The President sighed. Great. Just when he announced a short time of peace, there might be another chance of war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have terrible news. ViZion has been bombed by the nation of Doomingsland earlier today. There is currently not even an estimate of civilians dead, but hopefully it will not be large. None of our troops were hurt, of course, as they have not yet arrived at ViZion.
We condemn the nation of Doomingsland and demand they immediately give reperations to ViZion for the damage and lives costed."

The crowd chattered among themselves as journalists began asking questions.

Amphibious Assault Forces 1-4 along with Carrier Task Force #1 have now arrived at thir positions north of ViZion just outside of their northern territorial waters. The forces spread out and prepared for a possible invasion if needed. The forces divided into two invasion groups one was to land on the north western beaches and the other on the north eastern. The forces would not move untill the order was given.

Meanwhile Amphibious Assault Forces 4-8 along with Carrier Task Force #2
approached the southern internationals just miles away from the ViZion territorial waters. The forces split into 2 separate invasion groups, and then took positions on the south western and south eastern territorial waters.

OOC: these forces are not attacking yet, untill they have the order.

Official Imperial Response:

We have taken on many foes bigger and greater than you, I'm sure we can dispatch you quite easily. And on the notice of tyranny, you live under it now, how can you say you will not live under it again? Your leader allies himself with a crazy nation beyond all reason and reckoning then nukes innocent civilians, in the name of defense. You are under tyranny now.

However, your crys for peace, which were only let out ofter other nations starting condemning you, are heard. We will withdraw our declaration for war now and hope that you can convince the nation of Vizion to call for peace as well.

Official Imperial Statement-

Noting that the trial of President Maybury and other notable key ViZionarion government and military officers in abstentia has already begun in the nation of Omz222, the Empire has decided that since an official apology from ViZion and motions to bring the nation’s military to a less belligerent state do not appear to be forthcoming, Generia will be sending witnesses to the trial to aid in the clear presentation of events. General Milos Rubayic, the commander of the IGSAC station that monitored the first explosion and initiated the interception of the remaining ViZionarion aircraft will be deployed to Omz222 as soon as possible to give testimony, along with three other officers present at the station who took an active role in monitoring the situation, an additional four soldiers from the Saber Point military station who witnessed the explosions on Generian soil, and three of the interceptor pilots who fired on the ViZionarion bombers. We hope this will be able to contribute to the case of the prosecution and bring legal justice to the parties responsible for the attack.

Oh and we don't live under tyranny. In fact, soon we will have our next elections. People here have many civil and political freedoms. We don't condemn any ethnic or religious groups, nor do we support one. If that isn't freedom, I don't know what is.

OOC: Just so you guys know, my country is kinda misrepresented by the whole declaring war too soon thing. GE had already declared war on ViZion and attacked their planes, so I jumped in to help ViZion.
And ICly, I did really wish for peace. I declared war to protect ViZion, as it seemed that GE and its allies were soon going to be on ViZionare coasts or in her waters.
Once again, this is my first war, and I suck at diplomatic stuff(as shown) so just bear with my suckage, ok? :)

Politburo Chamber, 0800 Hours Local

The Chairman walked in and threw down a stack of papers on the table while he took off the light coat he was wearing and hung it up, "Sorry I'm late, comrades. I figured it was better to wait until THAT was printed from the ELINT section." His eyes had gestured to the stack of papers on the table. The four men of the Security Council who had gathered this morning reached forward and read the contents.

Foreign Minister Vassily Sergetov leaned forward, nearly choking on his sweetbread. The aides in this room expected him to be filled with rage, as was customary when strange reports were brought in. Instead the Foreign Minister began laughing quite loudly, a deep healthy laugh from the belly. The slower readers in the room joined in before the Chairman of the CSE gestured for quiet, a large smile reading across their face.

Defense Minister Nikita Eduardovich Zhukov, great-great nephew of the famous Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov rose from his chair, "So let me get this straight. The Omzian government has randomly decided to prosecute President Maybury--of whom they have no evidence he ordered the 'attack'--in his absence with approximately 4,000 charges of murdering civilians?"

Chairman Boris Ivanovich Shaposhnikov nodded, strangely agreeing in Russian rather than Spanish, as all the Soviets were trying to learn, "Da. It is possible that a peace conference is on the rise fairly soon. We suspect that the war crimes will be used as leverage against any deal the ViZionian government sets on the table. Of course, they're not in a position to bargain...even if we did go to war for them."

Minister of Internal Affairs Kliment Vyacheslavich Beria rose in the anger expected by the aides in the back of the room, "You're DAMNED right they're not in a position to bargain! It upsets me that they did not confer with their allies for a strategic plan. They're flying blind and soon there bluff will be revealed!" He took a moment to gaze around the corners of the room before realizing it had been swept for bugs yesterday. Russians are traditionally chess players, men of strategy. ViZion was playing like a child, throwing pieces forward--while in regard for the rules--but without thinking first where and how that piece would be challenged and what his reponse would be to it, and so on, "Comrades. If the Peace Talks do not happen soon an attack is evident. We must honor our alliance if the attack happens on his soil."

The Defense Minister: "Kliment Vyacheslavich, I can tell you that our military remains in top fighting condition. Our equipment is maintained well, while it is rather old by technological standards."

The Chairman of the CSE put his glass of orange juice down, "But how fast can we get our assets mobilized and to ViZion....or a CAD beachead, Nikita Eduardovich?"

"Boris Ivanovich, I can tell you that our troops are ready, and our Air Force remains in peak condition. We can have light troops arriving at a steady pace in 12 hours. We can reroute our fleets from any of the oceans and have them link up with an ARG for an invasion. Finally we can recquisition merchant ships to help us bring our armies overseas, which will take approximately 12 days, maximum."

The IA Minister slapped his hands down, "Comrades, let's not let the tone of this meeting switch to war. We have not yet committed."

Foreign Minister Sergetov nodded, "We have complied with ViZion's requests to this point but we must go no further. I believe we should push for peace conferences--perhaps in our own nation?"

Chairman: "I don't know if we will be considered a neutral nation, although our only communication in the matter was the press release early on and that message that I had transmitted unencrypted. I doubt these nations are intelligent enough to grasp the significance of that, though."

Foreign Minister: "Very well, I was consider pushing for a diplomatic resolution?" Heads nodded. "Alright, gentlemen. Excuse me but I will leave immediately."

The Security Council minus the Foreign Minister continued on until noon that day, finishing off business of their great People.

Official Statement from the UCTCR
It is with grave apprehension of further loss of life that the United Cuban Territories of Communist Rule asks all parties to stand down from their readiness levels and attend a conference of peace where the loss of lives on both sides can be attoned for and a future prevention of aggression put in place. The UCTCR is willing to provide facilities for this Peace Conference.

Official Statement from the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/iuthia.jpg

We are pleased that President Conway, leader of the People's Republic of Cheeser12 has taken this opportunity to rectify their mistakes born from misunderstanding regarding this incident, as the Generic Empire has made attempts to diplomatically resolve this situation while ViZion remains silent.

It brings us some hope that their government can see the need for diplomacy at this time and understands that the Generian people have thus far made no unfair demands. We can only hope that these talks will help to settle the waters a little in these chaotic times.

This aside, we would also like to take this opportunity to join the People's Republic of Cheeser12 in condemnation against the Empire of Doomingsland for the strike against ViZion... at this time the last thing we need is further losses spiraling your two nations into a war when other options remain open and the Generic Empire are still pursuing diplomatic means of resolving the situation.

While Iuthia does feel that the ViZionarian Military is unstable and potentially dangerous to the international community; we do not feel that this justifies any direct military action at this time as diplomatic and political routes remain open. That said, this is an invididual strike from a different nation for currently unknown reasons, we do not feel this should damage attempts for diplomacy between Generic Empire and ViZion, as far as we know this attack is not condoned by the Generian people.

Providing sense is seen, we hope that like the People's Republic of Cheeser12, Vizion can take responcibility for it's mistakes and take up the Generian people on their attempts for diplomacy.

thanks,

Foreign Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

Official Imperial Statement Regarding the Acceleration of Cease-fire Conferences

Several factions involved in the recent attacks on Generia have launched sporadic attacks upon opposing nations, and others continue to trespass in the territorial waters and skies of the CAD. These events have troubled us, and we are concerned for the safety of our nation and for that of our allies. If military action continues, Freudotopia will be forced to take aggressive action against any unfriendly targets in CAD territory. We wish to avoid such drastic measures, but we cannot allow violence to continue so close to our shores.

For this reason, Emperor Saul Hudson extends to all involved parties an invitation to a summit in Phantasmo, Freudotopia, completely safe from military intervention by any faction. There, Emperor Hudson will lead talks to remove foreign forces from the territory of the CAD, and to secure an appropriate apology and compensation from ViZion. Our foremost concern is to prevent further bloodshed, and reach a solution that is fair and equitable to all concerned. Also, it is the personal belief of Emperor Hudson that a treaty should be established between the Generic Empire and Vizion, to prevent further hostilities stemming from political or philosophical differences.

We extend this invitation to all nations who seek peace and a just resolution to this conflict. We seek to end military action in the CAD as soon as possible, so that a level field can be established. Once the attacks and incursions on sovereign territory have stopped, the process toward peace can begin. We ask all nations to communicate their intent to cease hostilities, and to send envoys to Phantasmo to participate in these peace accords. Only with cooperation, deliberation, and an open mind can we reach a satisfactory end to these terrible events.

IC:
"Sir, the plane... it has seemingly retreated... and rapidly! But why?" reported some of the many RAD officers.
One of the Generals quickly ran over to take a look. "President... This could mean they have launched something. We need to alert our coastal forces. Anything they see, shoot, if it's not varified to be friendly."
"Very well, General. Alert the coastal forces." President Maybury responded.

Not but a moment later, the VOD "Brickstone" began began sending out an alert of a low-flying, fast-moving missile headed for the coast. Their guns were not able to hit it, as it got by.

Many aircraft in the area began to head towards where the sighting had been, and converging upon the estimated path. Unfortunately, the attempts to destroy the missile outright failed. However, heavy gunfire from ground forces were able to damage the thruster, cutting the majority of the power.

As is slipping quickly downwards, it hit a large economically-centered city. Cansualties were purely military, as 62 soldiers were dead within an our after the blast, over 140 injuried.

Luckily for the civilians, they had previously been ordered underground, which kept a far more deadly incident from happening.

As President Maybury was notified, he was clearly upset. However, he knew that with the hostile nations claiming ViZion was actually planning on attacking Generia and her allies with nuclear weapons, and then, in defense of coming under attack, several ViZionarian aircraft did strike with nuclear weapons, this was hardly considered payback.

"They seem to intent on not attacking. They outnumber us, yet they still seem very fearful of an all-out war." President Maybury pondered outloud.
"Try once again to get Generia's Emperor on the line. I want to speak to him." Maybury ordered.

An official statement was sent out two hours post attack.

We wish to thank the nation of Cheeser12 for their support, as we thank all nations supporting us in this war.

We once again maintain that we had absolutely no intention of attacking Generia or her allies. Yes, these jets were locked and armed. But, no, they were not there for offensive aggression. They were purely there for a nuclear retalitory attack should, (a), a nuclear strike happen against ViZion, (b), a massive attack upon ViZion became a reality, or (c) should hostile forces attack these planes. They also would launch none nuclear weapons in the event, (a), an attack against these aircraft happened, or (b), a minor attack against ViZion or her allies occured.

They were ordered to circle for two days, then return. Had you not attacked, not a single person would have been harmed. Unfortunately, after the malfunction caused a crash, triggering a blast, you attacked. Our aircraft never turned towards, or crossed over the border, of Generia or her allies. We were in our sovereign right the entire time. If you had aircrafts flying around our nation, we would be ready to attack should you cross over the board or launch an attack. But we would not have attacked until your nation made the first move. ViZion never makes the first move of a war that would cause any intentional harm or touch hostile territory.

While we are upset over the attack by Doomingsland, we will not retaliate. Already, to many civilians have been killed due to intentional attacks upon ViZion, and our retaliation. However, should one other attack occur upon ViZionarian territory, or our allies, we will be forced to act.

And once again, we are trying to make contact with Generia, yet she seems unintent on answering our calls to her capital. We ask: Why? Why will you not answer our calls?

Thank you, and God Bless the ViZionarian people and our allies.

Official Statement from the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/iuthia.jpg

Still no apology? I would say this surprises me but frankly after some of the stupid actions we've seen the ViZion government pull it's not really surprising that they are unwilling to take responcibility for responding to a conventional attack with nuclear force... the fact they haven't even apologised for the lose of life from the accident they caused further shows their lack of respect for the Generian peoples lives.

The matter isn't that their bombers were attacking, but that their bombers presented a threat... it's also very easy to have the same level of readiness with bombers and more importantly, ICBM's without placing them on the very borders of another nation. The fact is that we see this as either a stupid mistake on your behalf, or a perposeful attempt to goad a nation you concider hostile into making the first move, that way you could claim the moral high ground.

We've seen it from many other nations and the fact that your nation didn't warn them of this "threat" further proves that your people are in the wrong, either on purpose of through stupidity. Frankly if a nuclear blast happened so close to Iuthia you would get the same level of hostility from us too. The fact remains that those bombers didn't need to be so close... they could do their job safely several miles away.

But no, still you prefer to blame the victim... but as far as we are concerned this is your fault and until you accept it we have not choice but to see the ViZionarian Government as unstable and dangerous to the international community. Enough with the cowardise already... whoever ordered nuclear bombers to fly a miles just outside a 'hostile' nations limits in order to secure peace simply isn't intelligent enough to make those levels of decisions.

OOC: "Your grace, President Maybury is on the line." Antonius raised an eyebrow, surprised, but accepted the phone.

“Mr. President.” he answered.
“Emperor Antonius… Over the past day, to many lives have been lost due to unintended and intended attacks. Your attack against our sovereign aircraft, our retaliation. Doomingsland’s missile strike against ViZion. And, the malfunctioning ViZionarian F-22 that caused the downed fighter, and the detonation of a nuclear blast in international waters to cause a tidal wave effect.

“During the Doomingsland strike, a number of his missiles struck ViZion City and the suburbs. However, nearly half were destroyed at the coastline, as well as when they neared the capital.

“We would like to put this all behind us. You attacked upon a misunderstanding that we planned to attack your nation after one of our armed fighters crashed. Doomingsland then launched a missile strike against ViZion.

“We suggest this. If your nation, your allies, and your supporters in this war agree to not launch an offensive attack upon ViZion or our supporters, as well as not supporting any actions against ViZion and our allies in the form of money, supplies, leadership, territorial advantages, or man power, all of these terms valid from signing until the end of time; ViZion and our allies will begin demobilization against your nation, and will not launch an offensive unless these terms are breached, as this war will come to an end. Agreeing to this and signing off on these terms will show both sides have come under misunderstandings that the opposition forces have been planning a massive attack against the other.

“However, if these terms are not agreed to, we feel it would show your nation, your supporters, and/or your allies are still wanting to launch an offensive against us, and we will not demobilize. These terms are non-negotiable. They show both sides are working towards peace and wish to avoid a larger-scale conflict.

“ViZion also is willing to provide humanitarian aid, along with supplies and manpower to help clean up the aftermath of the tidal waves and nuclear blasts. Our hearts and minds are with civilians of Generia, her allies, her supporters, and, indeed, to all civilians of all involved nations.

“However, we also ask that Doomingsland does the same in the aftermath of his strikes against ViZion.

“We will not retaliate against Doomingsland in hopes that this conflict can be avoided. However, should one more strike occur from forces from your nation, your allies, or any of your supporters, we will be forced to retaliate to the fullest.

“Once again, we hope we can avoid a larger conflict. We are lucky this has not gone full-blown yet. We hope your nation, your supporters in this war, and your allies can agree to these terms. It will show your nations do not wish to launch any offensive against us or our allies. We and our allies will begin demobilization if those terms are agreed to, and signed by, your nation, the supporters in this war against us, and your allies should this be done.

“So, Emperor, what do you say?”

Antonius sighed and rubbed his eyes. He had had barely any sleep for the past day, and it was beginning to catch up to him.

"Mr. President, I will make it clear that it is not, and never was my intention to launch a retalliatory attack against your nation. Too many people have died already in this awful tragedy of misunderstanding. My heart goes out to both the families of the Generian citizens killed in the blasts and the tidal wave, and to those of the ViZionarion pilots who perished over northern Generia. However, I will maintain for the rest of my existence that my actions in ordering the interception were justified, and the same course of action any reasonable and concerned leader would have taken following the event that we witnessed, accidental or not. It is and probably always will be my regining opinion that your pilots should not have been flying that close to Generian borders with armed nuclear payloads in the first place, and if they had not been, all of this would have been avoided.

"But while I may have a very long memory, Mr. President, I am also a man of unnaturally long patience, and with the capacity to forgive a man for his mistakes. Whether or not the crash and subsequent detonation was an accident or not, it does not change what happened, and pointing fingers at each other, while preferable to pointing nuclear ICBMs, will get us nowhere. In other words, I am willing, if not to completely put the incident behind me, to move forward in the hopes of securing the lives of our people and the people of the rest of the world's nations who found themselves drawn into this from the black and looming threat of nuclear armageddon."

"However, as I said, this incident has been far too tragic to forget, and I cannot allow you to forget it either. On behalf of my government and my people, I will still be expecting an official apology for the events that took place last night, to be directed at the victims slain in the tidal wave and the nuclear blasts, their families, and to all future generations who will find their lives altered due to the insidious nature of the aftereffects of the nuclear blasts. In turn, I will offer my official condolences to the families of the pilots killed in the skies over Generia."

"I will accept your offer of humanitarian supplies, though I do not think it wise to allow ViZionarion workers into the blast areas, for fear that they may find themselves the subject of private retalliation from Generian citizens angered by the events."

"Still, as much as I admire this verbal agreement, I feel it is not strong enough to stand in the eyes of the international community, and do feel that multilateral talks should still be undertaken in a neutral nation to ensure the lasting nature of the peace between our nations and our allies through written treaty."

"Regarding the actions of my slightly more hotheaded compatriot, Emperor Helldawg of Doomingsland, I again offer my condolences, this time to the ViZionarian victims slain in the cruise missile strikes on your capital city. The Generian government, again in the interest of peace, will be certain to pressure Doomingsland to stand down, and to send representatives to the aforementioned talks to discuss their reparations to your citizens."

"What happened last night was a tragedy of the most catastrohpic nature, and I hope, Mr. President, that our discussion and the subsequent actions taken by our governments in the name of peace and mutual prosperity, while not dimming the horror of the events, will manage to alleviate some of the pain they brought about."

OOC: Sorry, after a day of not reading it took me two days to catch up.

IC:
The Monsterian Dark Council, each to their separate provinces, make announcements to their people after daily veneration to the various Dark Gods that make up the relatively small theocracy's pantheon.

*Note that this takes place after news of the attacks on ViZion and GE take place but before any sort of diplomatic agreement has been settled on by the two conflicting powers*

"All Citizens of Monsteria, know now this:

The conflict between the Empire of CAD and Imported ViZion has escalated recently. One of the component nations of CAD, the Generic Empire, has been struck by nuclear arsenal and in retaliation a sister CAD nation used conventional weapons on the capitol city of ViZion. We believe this will start a conflagration of war imminently. It is the divine will of the all-evil Great Dark One that Monsteria must assert itself as an emerging nation and play a part in these affairs.

While other neutral nations squeal for diplomatic understanding and restrict movement, weakening them selves, we shall make ourselves stronger. It is in this regard that we will make ourselves available as a mercenary state. The ports of Monsteria shall be opened to both sides. Our government shall sell conventional weaponry and supplies freely.

Further, it is the will of the powers of Darkness that there be formed mercenary brigades. Any may enter, be he freeling or slave of persons or church. All that do will have any enslavement removed with full rights as a freeling of the Church as well as a sign on pay of 250,000 taint. ((American dollar = 2.7 taints)) These brigades will then be sold for use to the belligerent nations in their struggles for power. All money made shall go to the betterment of the lands of Holy Monsteria and the Church. If you are interested in joining or if you wish to give up your slave for 150,000 of the sign on pay, speak with your local Military recruiter. Amen."

A communiqué to all nations that have thus far publicly made remarks on the Incidents thus far, including the Lightning Plains, Cad, allies that have openly remarked voiced their support of ViZion, and those that have stated their disapproval of ViZion's actions:

"We of the Dark Council of Holy Republic of Monsteria acting by the divine will of the Great Dark One, take note that your country is on the brink of becoming engulfed in war. While we are neither a powerful nor a large nation, we wish whole heartedly to help your cause. For negotiable, monetary terms we will make our South Pacific nation open to you for docking and refitting of ships; rest and relaxation of troops; supply of weapons, materiel, foodstuffs, and equipment; and military troops to defend your sovereignty. We will pray the best for you."

The Dark One looked pleasantly among his Council "Well, now all we have to do is pray peace doesn't break out." :cool:

"Sir, we've been tracking two unidentified ships since they entered the Sea. They seem to be heading straight for us. They're a good two hours away yet, though." reported a RAD officer. "Keep an eye on them. I want a recon flight out there to see what they see." General White ordered. "Yes sir."

Two minutes later, a recon plane was launched from VWC "Eddie". It wouldn't take him long to spot these ships.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only 45 minutes later, the flight touched ground. Seven photographs were then send to land, attention General White. As he looked over it, he ordered the ViZionarian navy to prepare to engage a potentially hostile ship appearing to be that of the Generic Empire navy should it fire upon ViZionarian forces or enter ViZionarian territorial waters.

"Good," said one of the top terrorists upon seeing the recon plane, "Our plan is working."

After two hours, they reached the border of ViZionarian waters, but stopped before crossing over. Without even having to be given orders, they knew what they had to do. The two ships began firing off 8 missiles at ViZionarian ships, the Generic Empire flag flying high and mighty on both ships. They began firing all their other guns they had on board that could possibly reach the ViZionarian forces. Just after the first round of missiles were launched, the two ships entired ViZionarian waters. It was time to destroy some ViZionarian ships and light a fire under ViZion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on the ships, gunfire began exploding through the air that was calm and quiet not but a moment before hand. Six of the eight missiles were destroyed, however two struck a destroyer, heavily damaging it, and killing 18 men while injurying over 20 more.

At the same time, aircraft were being scrambled from the carriers in the area, as the ships began moving towards the two cruisers, firing.

The men began celebrating as they saw the ViZionarian destroyer go up in flames. They had done their job. They knew ViZion would not stand for this attack. And they killed some ViZionarians while they were at it.

As the ViZionarian ships decended on them, the two cruisers fought back hard. But it was only a matter of minutes before the two ships wearing the Generic Empire flag, with everything so clearly marked Generic Empire on it, were sunk, all crew dead or dieing.
As the ViZionarian ships neared, they began to search for survivers to question. Unfortunately, none of the people survived to be questioned, even if they were pulled aboard alive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir. We must retaliate. Generia has attacked us, after they were telling us we they wanted peace, and we made it clear peace would arrive if we or our allies were not attacked. Then they go ahead and attack us!" one of the Generals stated to President Maybury.
"General... prepare for war. Prepare to launch an offensive." the President ordered. "We were coming to a verbal cease fire and they attacked us. We shall show them what happens when they do this to us."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sixteen B-2 bombers, loaded with nuclear bombs, have been ordered to prepare for nuclear war should it come to that. These sixteen bombers are flanked by 150 F-22's, 100 F/A-18's, and 100 F-16's.

At the same time, eighteen aircraft carriers, 30 destroyers, 34 battleships, and 36 cruisers are heading out of ViZionarian waters to commense an attack upon Generic Empire. Sixteen nuclear submarines are also preparing to head out in this naval convoy.

Over 2 million soldiers, 1,000 M1A2 tanks, 1,000 M1A1’s, 5,000 humvees, and 5,000 strykers are preparing to depart to the nation of Generic Empire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Official Statement
Today, after nearly coming to a verbal agreement of a cease fire between the nations of Generic Empire and ViZion, Generic Empire launched a small assault - two cruisers armed with missiles that were launched at ViZionarian naval forces inside our own territorial waters - has prompted us to begin a retaliatory attack.

We were preparing a statement of appology to the people who were harmed during the accidental nuclear detonation, causing a tidal wave that crashed into the coastal region of Generia, as well as our retaliation with nuclear weapons upon the Generic attack against our fighters when this strike against our forces was launched.

While that statement will still be issued shortly, we give Generia one chance, and one chance only, to stand down. We demand that your forces stand down, as well as your allied forces, and that an official statement of surrender be issued, as well as a statement of wrong doing. We do not know what you are trying to pull, Antonius, but we will not tolerate it.

Once again, you have only one chance to stand down. Should you not comply, we will be forced to strike. We were willing to bid for peace. However, this has caused us to rethink this. First, it was Acigoo in Phalanix that we warned about and shortly afterwards came true. Then, it was terrorism we warned about - recently, there was terrorism against Jarridia. And now the attacks against ViZion have come true. It looks as if the intel many of you discarded as 'false' is, indeed, not so false afterwards.

Guffingfordia's Imperial Navy, GIN Flagship Clockwork

Captain Max "Foulweather" Dafydd was pleased with the progress he made the last couple of days. The weather was fine, a gentle sea breeze pushed him and his fleet closer to Suez, where he will wait at Oman and Eritrea [given to me by Huzen Hagen] until orders are given to enter the Mediterranean Sea. Dafydd's fleet was one of the most powerful ones ever traversed the ocean's, consisting of two Apparition dreadnoughts, countless Belknaps and Aasimars and of course accompanied support vessels and logistical craft. Aircraft carriers were also dragged along, fully loaded with Soviet Bloc's latest aerial advancements.

ViZion is powerless against these marvels of the most modern and advanced technological breakthroughs. Dafydd knew all of this, and his first strike capabilities were unmatched by anyone. IF anyone wanted to make a direct attack upon Guffingford, than there were no other options than an ICBM strike. But due to the intense and extreme defensive structures, the location within the Imperial Armies region, that is very unlikely. All ships are armed with the most recent Guffingfordian missiles, products of a fruitful cooperation between said nation and The Macabees, experts on multiple high-tech diciplines.

Lorgan Vimes was already in the Atlantic when he was given orders to make haste towards the Straits of Gribraltar. He was in command of similar fleets, yet he was a little more air-superiority fixated, instead of the raw destructive power of Dafydd. It was crystal clear ViZion was going to hit Generia, something happened involving two vessels reputed to be part of Generia's navy. However, many doubt this.

SECRET IC:

The plan was as follows, simple but very clever. Once the brunt of the ViZion navy and army was away from home, or at least far enough to make a u-turn, the Guffingfordian navy would strike with unprecedented force on all of their nuclear capabilities. Extensive satellite datafeeds have given a fairly detailed idea where the main silos are located in Italy - none would be left intact to launch a single missile. But, there's also the possibility to demolish the Vizion navy once they leave the Mediterranean Sea, only to harass them even more before starting the attack on ViZion. Of course, with the inane leadership of that nation you can expect a futile attempt of ICBM's, but no large class of the Guffingfordian navy goes without proper ICBM protection. The chances of one or more successful hits is zero.

The leader, upon hearing the reports that the attacks seemed to have worked, was extremely pleased. ViZion was preparing for an attack, and they noticed that Guffs naval forces seemed to be headed towards the Strait.

A message was then forwarded to AF:
"It seems we have succeeded. Our attacks upon ViZion using the Generic Empire's flags have prompted them to attack Generia! Death to ViZion!"

Subject: Possible Terrorist Action
Message

President Maybury,

Firstly we would like to offer our deepest condolances for this latest attack against your nation, however before you commit your nation to war without investigating further into the circumstances of this terrible event we feel you will drag your nation deeper into conflict when it simply isn't of any benefit to you or your allies.

Prior to this attack, the Benevolent Dictatatorship was telegrammed with the following message which came to us indirectly from an organisation we beleive to be terrorist in nature. Thus far we beleive this message to be genuine and have not connected it thus far to the Generic Empire:
We wish to come to you to ask of aid. We are looking for nations who will support us in weapons, cash, and various other things. We also look for a nation who'll host us. If your nation does both, we will strike down your foes, and destroy any who dares attack your nation.

ViZion, Jarridia, and their allies are our largest foes, and currently pose a threat towards the entire CAD. They are our first target.

Will you support us and host us?
Firstly, we beleive this message is not the first one which was sent and is likely that it has been sent to all nations whom seemingly support the Generic Empire, however our main concern is that this group works directly against a peaceful resolution to this situation and instead seeks to create chaos.

Clearly with the last events behind us it is likely that this organisation is behind these attacks, however we are sure your military will be skeptical of this information and as such we ask that further investigation into this group is done before taking revenge against the 'apparent' enemy. It's better to be sure and save your nation from a large war in which many people will die then to rush in blind.

Should this investigation and removal of this terror organisation directly link to the Generic Empire and proof be found of their government directly supporting this faction then Iuthia will support your call for war, however, we should note we are also asking that the Generian Empire assist us in looking for this terrorist threat which would plunge both your nations into war.

Seeing as they have contacted the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia seeking to cause chaos among the relatively stable international community we feel we are honor bound to do what we can to find this threat and eliminate it before any more damage can be done.

It is our hope that both governments can see past their differences and work towards clearing their names by removing these terrorists and finally making peace.

Thanks for listening regardless,

Foriegn Minister Mick Lakely, Iuthian Diplomatic Corps

IC:

Situation Room, Credonian Presidential Palace, Credonia City, Credonia

President Sutton sat in his chair at the head of the large black marble table before his closest military and political advisors. There was nothing left to do but hope that peace would prevail. All Credonian military assets were standing by at DEFCON 2 and the warning that an attack upon Vizion would be regarded as an act of war upon Credonia had been given during his first address to the world at the beginning of the nuclear conflict.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Secretary of Defense Mitchell Ferguson answered.

Secretary Ferguson here"

A deep voice on the other end of the phone repiled.

"Sir, this is Admiral Clark, Im gettin reports from the Vizionian navy that they have come under attack from Generian naval forces. Two cruisers have sunken one of their destroyers."

"Thank you Admiral"

Ferguson hurriedly returned the reciever to the phone. He then turned to the President.

"Sir!! Report just in. Generia has launched a naval attack upon Vizion. Two cruisers have sunken a Vizonian destroyer."

"My god. And Generia was using the guise of peace to set up a sneak attack. How low. Order all military forces to DEFCON 1. Get our Western Battle Fleet out there NOW and prepare our ground forces for transport to Vizion and Generia. I'll contact the Vizionian government asap."

"Im on it sir!"

Lighting in the Situation Room went from white to red indicating that the nation was at a level of DEFCON 1 and poised for war.

UNITED STATES OF CREDONIA

From: Kaimoni A. Sutton, President, Commander-in-Chief, United States of Credonia
Subject: Recent Attack Upon Vizion

Mr. President,

I send you my nations deepest condolences on the lives lost in the recent attack upon your naval destroyer. I come to you again to affirm Credonia's support and backing politically and militarily in this conflict. At this time, ALL Credonian military forces stand ready and waiting at DEFCON 1 to support any attack you may launch against the aggressors. Such an attack was unproked and should be rectified only by military force as you can clearly see that the Generic Empire does not want peace. They have only used peace as a means of stalling us while they sucessfully carry out a sneak attack which cannot be tolerated. At this time, Credonia humbly requests permission to send Credonian military forces to Vizion to aid in the protection of your nations assets and citizens from foreign invaders. The Credonian Western Battle Fleet is already making way to your nation's waters to thwart any and all attacks from opposing naval fleets that may make a move to attack your nation's coast and attempt an invasion.

We stand firm on our decision to assist you as this attack was unprovoked. I humbly await your response.

Sincerely,

Kaimoni A. Sutton

Official Statement from the Republic of Guffingford

'Guffingford has, merely a few hours ago, taken positions with its powerful navy to blockade the Mediterranean Sea to prevent hostiles entering or departing these waters. Allied vessels are allowed to pass, after an extensive search has been conducted on all ships wanting to gain entry. The fleets of Guffingford, the 9th 11th fleets under watchful eye of Captain Dafydd and Captain Vimes guides the 8th and 12 fleet. Needless to say, the entrances to the Mediterranean Sea are blocked at Gribraltar and Suez, do not tempt us to enforce our position by trying to break the blockade. We also like to warn several nations of hostile nature again not to tread near our men, for they shall be destroyed. We will not negotiate for peace, money or land, we will fight because we hate. We hate the arrogance and lies spread by Jarridia, ViZion and Credonia, we hate because they have fought for ideals based on lies.

We do not want peace.

We do not want your false and treacherous promises.

We will not make concessions.

We shall never bend or break to your corrupted, powerhungry will.'

[Signed] - Paul Kruger, Benevolent leader of Guffingford.

Iuthia

23-07-2005, 19:19

"...and with that I conclude that it will take each of these nation perhaps three or four days to properly mobilise their forces for any real conciderable force to be massed for invasion. Their naval assets will already be prepared, but frankly it takes much longer to prepare, equip and load troops while providing proper support.

"Furthermore, they shouldn't be able to actually ship the number of forces they are mobilising simply because of logistical limitations, they would have to be idiots to attempt to ship severel million soldiers at once and their ulimate target will take perhaps a week's travel to actually get to. I beleive we have time to properly address this with diplomacy, Lord General."

James nodded, for the time being he hadn't really gotten involved in this, allowing his underlings to deal with it and provide him with reports of their progress; prior to what was likely turning out to be a terrorist incident it seemed like peace could be acheived, now everyone was on the path to war. It said a certain amount about the nations who would rush into war as though eager to place the lives of their soldiers on the line for some vague notion of honor.

"Tell me General, how come your so sure these nations are mobilising such large forces? I've not seen much in the way of information revealed by them, just the standard threatening statements of revenge. I'm assuming this information is entirely estimated from gather intelligence?"

"Yes sir, while cloud cover has made it hard to properly make out the activity in these nations, we can still make out alot of movement from both naval assets and known military strongholds. It's purely estimate information but we feel that the intel we have gathered thus far with the standard pattern of these nations provides a strong chance that this is the case."

James nodded. "Very well, Buck, that will be all for now." the Lord General then turned to his foriegn minister and close friend Mick Lakely. "I take it that we're past the point of reasoning with nations like Credonia and Guffingford?"

"I could try sir, but personally I feel that in both cases the two nations hate one another enough that they really wouldn't give a damn about our efforts for peace. At this time we're hoping that our offer to assist investigation of this terrorist act will get through to the ViZionarian government... should they choose to rush on towards their war then we will publically release the information so that others may make up their own mind. The fact they rushed into the war would be apparent and they could stand to lose further status within the international community."

"So this hangs on the ViZionarian governments wisdom? I don't like that given their current track record... James shook his head, ViZion seemed keen on war which didn't fill him with hope.

"Thats the gist of it, Lord General. Seeing as it's going to take them a while to properly mobilise their forces it shouldn't be too much to ask for them to take their time and be sure about this course of action." Mick replied.

"Well, nevermind... we'll do our part to look into this terror organisation as it's clearly a dangerous destabilising factor in all of this. At least the ViZion government doesn't outright ignore diplomacy, though they don't like responicibility. One way or another we'll uncover what we can and if it turns out that the Generian Empire is entirely innocent we'll make it public for the world to see the ViZionarian military rushed in as aways."

Mick nodded, to be honest the Iuthian government wasn't directly involved and had used it's diplomatic pressure as it had always done. They weren't about to militarily take sides in the war but they would investigate as observers and perhaps even eliminate this terrorist organisation in the process or at the very least reveal the secrets behind them... someone had to be supplying them and Iuthia sure as hell knew they weren't.

Official Statement from the President of the United States of Credonia
To: Guffingford

Your nation has NO RIGHT to block access to the Mediteranean Sea or any other international bodies of water under international law. Should you attempt to board or seize ANY naval vessel belonging to any nation other than that of your own and your friends and allies, Credonia will see to it that those forces are eliminated and the freedom to sail the high seas in an unmolested fashion is restored to the international community.

At this time Credonian naval forces are heading towards the Mediterranean Sea. Should those forces come under fire or should you attempt to block them from entering that body of water for the purpose of assisting our ally, we will have no choice but to deem that as an declaration of war upon Credonia and will take certain actions to rectify your actions. Be warned, Credonia has waited a long time for this moment, and rest assured that if you make even the slightest of wrong moves, the Credonian military will shove its metaphoric foot so far up your nations ass you will cry for mercy and beg for our forgiveness.

An encrypted response was sent you Credonia;

Yes, you may send men to ViZion. We thank your nation for its support. We are truly infuriated over this matter. They claim they want peace, and when we start to talk, they strike our forces, heavily damaging a ViZionarian destroyer. We will not allow such an action to happen again.

We will strike them down if they do not cowar under our wrath!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A response is made to Iuthia regarding the possibility of Terror of the World being involved;
While we will not discard the notion that Terror of the World may be involved, we cannot let our guard down. We were willing to after peace talks began when we were promptly attacked. They flew Generic Empire's flag. We will aid in helping find out what happened, and until we find out, we will not launch an attack. HOWEVER, we are sending forces into the area surrounding Generia in International waters and airspace in the event another strike occurs, or it is proven that they, indeed, have their hands in on this attack.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the ships neared the Strait, they saw a strange sight. A blockage! In international waters!
Just then, they recieved word from Naval headquarters of a Guffingford blockage threatening to blow any non-hostile ship attempting to pass through the waters.
"I knew it! They're preparing to strike us! They do not want retalitory forces near their land!" yelled an angered Admiral.
"Prepare to order them to allow us through. If they fire upon us as we attempt to pass thought international waters, we will destroy their ships." the Admiral ordered, then making contact with the military headquarter.
"This is Admiral Johnson. We will be attempting to pass through the Strait in international waters. We are requesting air support should they fire upon us."
Back on land, the General he spoke to, General Maximus, ordered 400 F/A-22's, 400 F/A-18's, and 600 F-16's into the sky to give air support to the naval forces attempted to exit the Sea. "I want us on full defense! Should there be a battle, we are expecting them to launch an offensive! Prepare all defenses!" Maximus ordered.
Just then, the Admiral sent another message;
"General! Change of plans! We will be setting up our own blockage against all hostile forces unless they end their blockage. We will issue the same statement they have given us - any hostile forces attempting to come through will be turned away. Should they try to force their way through, we will be forced to destroy them."
"Very good, Admiral. I'll send in orders for more ships." the General replied.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message broadcasted to hostile blockage; Guffingford and hostile nations
We are setting up a blockage until your nation ends its blockage. Should any hostile vessels attempt to enter or exit the Strait, we will turn them away. If they insist on forcing their way through, they will be destroyed.

End your blockage now, and we will end ours. This is purely a response to your blockage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the ViZionarian ships neared the hostile blockage, their guns and missiles began to take aim. Air support would arrive shortly, and within the day, more ships would arrive for backup to the blockage.

The Fleet has paused around 10 miles from the nearest Blockade ship and were siliently watching. "Someone beat us to it," The captain muttered, "Now what?" "We aid them if they will allow it, they had the right idea, keeping the ViZion navy from further causing damage." Said General Serov. "Contact them, tell them we have their back covered." "Wait look!" Another group of ships began to show over the horzion. "What are they?" "They bear the Credonian flag sir!" Said one of the sailors.

Subject: re: re: Possible Terrorist Action
Message:

I would advise that you do not need to make this situation any more provocative then you had done in the first place, your forces can be just as threatening from ten nautical miles away from their limits as they can be just off their borders, seeing as there is no element of surprise they are as ready for an assault as they can be. We would prefer that you give them the benefit of the doubt and give them room to breath... a cornered animal is much more dangerous then one which has a way out.

Thus far the only proof you have presented to both the Benevolent Dictatorship and the rest of the International Community is little more then two peices of cloth which could be re-produced by pretty much anyone. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people in Guffingford who make Credonian flags specifically for the purpose of burning... but what if someone used those flags to make their ship "Credonian"? Would that mean that Credonia is automatically at fault because Credonian flags were found on ships which commited some attrocity?

Caution is needed here because if you go to war with Generic Empire and they are innocent then the lives of both the Generian people and your own will be on your hands... also, there is no need to further provoke a conflict which can be avoided. If the Generic Empire is found to be directly supporting this act then the international community as a whole can work with you to force them to make up for their attrocity... but before that can happen we need to be sure and personally we have seen no evidence to prove that the Generian Government is not interested in peace as they originally initiated the process themselves.

We are currently sending Iuthian Black Viper Specialists towards the region on the fastest plane we have, I would like your permission for them to meet up with your people to liaise and work with you to solve this, preferably in a peaceful manner.

We will also be working with the Generian Government to work on thier side of the problem to see how this occured and report any fault on their part. While some may not think they would be pleased with this, we feel that transparency is the best option for everyone here. We have not gone public with this communication from this terrorist cell yet because we do not want them to be aware of our work against them at this time.

It is my hope that in time this will all become clear and we can all work against this menace together.

A response was quickly made due to the rapidly deteriorating situation with Guffingford;
Mr. Mick Lakely, we will no longer be heading towards Generic Empire. Guffingford has blockaged international waters in the Strait, and has issued a statement that only their allied forces may enter or exit the Sea.

We, in response, are using our ships headed towards Generic Empire, to blockage any hostile forces from entering or exiting, and have issued a statement to them stating that they end their blockage, and we shall end ours. However, if they do not end it, we will continue our blockage. Any hostile ships will be turned around, and if they feel they can force their way though, we will destroy them.

We urge you to force Guffingford and his supporters to end their blockage, as if they do not, there will never be a chance for peace, and things will only go down hill from here. And they will be provoking nations wishing to enter or exit the Sea who are not even involved, as they have stated only their supporters and allies will be allowed to go through their blockage. We allow any ships EXCEPT hostile forces to enter or exit.

24-07-2005, 04:54

Office of the Central Directorate: Schultaria Prime, Schultaria Prime

Even though the events surrounding ViZion and Generia were remote, separated by thousands of kilometers of sea and sand from the shores of Schultaria, the nation at large reeled at the news reports beamed into their living rooms. Although the state and its people had little to do with the parties involved, the shock of war afflicted them nonetheless; after all, Schultaria had been involved in war between nations allied to the two opponents. While the Brimstone operation had proven itself effective in the African theater, fears abounded about the political repercussions surrounding the infighting. From dozens of hypothetical military scenarios, economic implication projections, and exabytes of intelligence reports from the SID, the fears of global war were discussed in private circles but placed on the public backburner.

That was largely true... until the nuclear "disaster".

The confrontation off the edge of the Generian national waters by ViZionian aircraft had caught the government and the defense forces of Schultaria completely off guard. Prospects of war between members, both current and former, sympathetic to the ideologies symbolized by the alliances of NATO and the RWC had been argued quite forcefully, but considerations had been made only for conventional conflicts; nuclear weapons had never even been considered as a first strike option by the intelligence community. "Even with the amount of devastation such a device could produce they would prove to be too economically draining to any occupying army during post war reconstruction," had been the maxim placed on such warfare, but the live news showed it all for naught.

In his office, Central Director Schultz watched the events unfold on the holopad embedded within the richly lacquered mahogany sea of his work desk. To any normal observer the data would have been absolutely incomprehensible, but the head of state had become desensitized to the sheer volume after nearly twenty six years of daily debriefings. Hovering above his desk like a brilliantly dancing rainbow, SID satellite data and intercepted radio intercepts intermingled with news reports and official government edicts from nearly a dozen nations. Scratching his chin and reclining in his supple leatherback chair, Elliot plucked out various pieces of information like so many apples off a fruitful tree as the computer thoughtlessly complied with his whims. What once was a swirling mass of hopelessly large amount of information had been boiled down into several major reports.

Of those edicts, the most recent statements from the nation of Guffingford were instantaneously bathed in a shroud of glowing red light; although the Schultarian nation possessed little in terms of diplomatic contact, their actions warranted significant attention. Their support for Generia was understandable given the knowledge the SID possessed about Guffingfordian diplomacy between the two nations, but their response suggests ulterior motives. After all, it is internationally acceptable move to prohibit ViZionian shipping following such an attack...

"... but to block the Mediterranean? The damn fools will start the next 'Great' War."

To Guffingford the move might seem prudent, but to the economists of Schultaria Prime the blockade spelled economic imperialism. In simple terms, the Schultarian economy is all but completely dependent on trade with the nations of the European continent. Trade with nations along the Mediterranean such as Automagfreek, Euroslavia, and IDF compose nearly 70% of the nation's export incomes; every day that the Guffingfordian blockade would be imposed would be 26 billion dollars of state revenue lost. For the sake of the nation, action would have to be taken quickly.

-----

-Personal Video Message: Schultaria Prime to Guffingford

"In the wake of recent events, it is understandable that you and your nation take steps to protect your closest allies from further reprisals. It is altogether appropriate that, in order to insure the survival of Generia, your naval forces would intend to help preserve its economic and material survival at the behest of any aggressive moves.

However, I don't want to sugarcoat the reason I've established this communication so I apologize now if I seem terse and my language slightly aggravated. Your economic blockade, no matter how well organized and planned, is currently degrading neutral Schultarian economic interests in our nation at a severely damaging rate. Our trade with mainland Europe and the Sinai through the Mediterranean Sea is one of the largest economic viaducts for the Schultarian economy and, thanks to your blockade, our nation is not only losing critical daily export revenue but essential agricultural imports as well. The conduits of Gibraltar and the Suez are critical for Schultarian economic interests, but thanks to your universal denial of any and all shipping through these two regions you're effectively taking aim at our national economy.

Since we are not operating under either the ViZionian or Generian cause, this has led to the conclusion that we are technically not an 'allied' nation of Guffingford and thus subject to universal exclusion of the economic zone of the Mediterranean. Being head of state for the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime, I have a duty to protect the social and physical well being of my nation at any and all costs; as such, I ask that you at least rescind your blockade to allow neutral parties to resume normal economic activity.

If this is not possible then we, the Nation of Schultaria Prime, will have no choice but to demand and extract precise compensation for every lost day of regular trading activity within the Mediterranean region. This loss would equal a payment to the Nation of Schultaria Prime the sum of twenty six billion dollars, daily and without exception, for the loss in critical export revenues and essential international imports. In the event such payment is not possible, and all other attempts to gain a diplomatic middle ground have failed, we shall be forced to take defensive action in order to preserve the general welfare of our nation."

Svalbard - Guffingfordian Anti-Air Flotilla 288

Orders from Strategic Command were very clear; go to the Med and provide an aerial lockdown from both sides. If ViZion was going to sneak-attack Guffingford, then the first waves will be destroyed but after that, things may become tense. For that is why the AAF 288 has been called for active duty. A few months ago they were already sent to the Red Sea as a support fleet for the small navy who was going to take the former Huzen Hagen posessions of Eritrea and Oman. After these were officially handed over to Guffingford, AAF 288 continued to Svalbard and was instructed to remain there for the time being.
The Arabian and African nations are now under Guffingfordian control, with the people given a very high degree of civil freedoms, autonomy and self-control, these two nations serve mainly as a naval staging point and a cargo depot. A small fleet is positioned here, and was at high alert.

AAF 288 Was ordered to make haste to the Mediterranean immediately without any form hesitation. Clearance to go was given the very same hour when Defence Minister Leonard Ynsson wrote the order and signalled it to the flotilla. Their commander was no one less than Sir Gleighmont, once the benevolent leader of Guffingford. He was expected to arrive in five days at the Guffingfordian blockade of Gribraltar.

President Sutton arose from his deep sleep to the sound of chirping birds and bright rays of sunlight piercing through the cracks in his bedroom curtain. On the nightstand beside his bed sat a note containing Guffingford's reply and a description of their latest naval movements. Sutton sighed as he got out of bed and headed to begin his morning ritual of washing up, putting a fresh new suit on, reading the daily intelligence brief, reading the newspaper, and beginning a new day full of meetings and public appearances. He was becoming highly agitated by the actions of Guffingford as not it was just that much more complicated to send aid to Vizion to protect them from foreign invasion.

Following his morning ritual, Sutton grabbed a hot cup of cappaccino from the machine in his office and headed to the Situation Room where everyone was already assembled. Everyone in the room stood and said "Good Morning Mr. President" and waited until he was seated. He looked around the read tinted room which smelled of fresh cigar smoke.

"It appears that GUffingford is poised to stand their ground at both the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. Now, given the sheer numbner of carriers they have deployed to the Med and the amount of aircraft they have at their disposal, we are powerless to do much of anything until our naval forces arrive in the area. There, sone problem though. We are not faced with an open channel of water in which our forces can just waltz on through. We have a slow moving canal that only one or two ships may pass through at a time. Id like to hear some ideas on how to get our forces through that canal and eventually the blockade in a manner that will force old Guff to back off. Any ideas?" inquired Sutton.

Admiral Clark leaned forward and all eyes turned to him.

"Mr. President, sir, many of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself believe that with so many carrier forces in the area, it would be near impossible to run the blockade of the Suez Canal if Guffingford makes a move against us, therefore, we propose that we use Somalia as the main base of operations for this conflict. We will need massive amounts of air power. It is estimated that Guffingford can launch approximatly 4,200 aircraft from all of their aircraft carriers combined. It would take a lot of naval and air force to be able to defeat their naval forces just with the sheer number of carriers. The next best thing would be to employ the use of tactical nuclear weapons should they attempt to make a move on our naval forces crossing the Suez Canal. A tactical nuclear strike should not spark a major strategic nuclear war because Guffingford knows, and we know, and the world knows that we will not hesitate to use our strategic nuclear weapons if the occasion calls for it. Hell, they have been at DEFCON 1 for days, so that must be a signbal that we are prepared to do whatever it takes. So, run the blockade. I dare them to try to attack us. That would be the biggest mistake their navy could ever make. In the meantime, we should send all of our troops to Somalia as a staging area to prepare them to defend Vizion from foreign aggression." Suggested Ferguson.

Sutton took what his Secretary had just told him into consideration for a brief moment.

"Very well. Lets do it. In the meantime, I'll draft another message to Vizion and prepare for a television broadcast to send a message to Guffingford. Thank you, that is all gentlemen" Sutton replied with confidence.

After the President's dismissal, the room once again buzzed with loud chatter as messages were being relayed between individuals to make the Commander-in-Chief's orders happen. President Sutton immediately got to work on a letter to Vizion.

UNITED STATES OF CREDONIA
To: Vizionian Government
From: Kaimoni A. Sutton, President, Commander-in-Chief, United States of Credonia
Subject: Credonian Aid to Vizion
Encryption Level: HIGHEST

Our dear ally,
At this time, I have instructed Credonian ground forces to move to Somalia for a staging area to prepare for an attack on our enemies. These number one million men. An additional hundred thousand will be transported by civilian aircraft to your nation as an initial step to helping secure your nation before armed hostilities break out once more. I have also instructed Credonian naval forces to run the blockade. They will be entering the Med through the Suez Canal by way of the Indian Ocean. Should Guffingford fire upon our naval forces, I have authorized the use of tactical nuclear weapons against their naval forces, mainly their aircraft carriers so that our navy's corssing of the Canal is more safe. Please know that Credonian help is on the way and that we are working our hardest so send evey bit of military assistance to your nation that is humanly possible. Please send us the location you would like our forces to land to begin setting up our defenses. Thank you and god bless Vizion and Credonia!

Sincerely,

Kaimoni A. Sutton
President
Commander-in-Chief
United States of Credonia

Shortly after drafting the letter to Vizion, President Sutton made an appearance on Prime Time T.V. to deliver a message to Guffingford.

"My fellow Credonians, today we are faced with a new threat. A threat taht comes from a nation that has no regard for democracy, no regard for international law, and no regard for the lives of innocent men, women, and children. We are faced with a threat from the nation of Guffingford, a long time Credonian enemy. It's quite interesting how this conflict started over the incidental Vizionian bombing of the Generic Empire, yet Guffingford has taken the opportunity to step in and turn it into a war for their delight. They have taken actions that defy the international community, and the laws establised by the International Community governing the free sailing of the high seas. They have blatantly and quite bluntly said that they will not comply with international laws by stating the following "If there was such thing as international law, we would be the first to ignore it."

This nation has no regard for the laws established to ensure the rights of the nations that inhabit this earth. They believe that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want and that no one will stop them. That, is a serious assumption to make. Now, upon my orders, Credonian naval forces are headed towards the Suez Canal where Guffingford has established a blockade. To the government of Guffingford, mark my words, should you fire even one shot upon any Credonian or Vizionian naval vessel that does not fire at you first, we will retaliate with tactical nuclear weapons against your naval forces in the area. Do not test us. We are not afraid of you, nor will we ever be. Our naval forces will pass through the Suez Canal and your blockade without molestation of further incident and we will be allowed to provide aid to our ally Vizion on their very own soil. This is a warning, and the only warning you will get because the next action will be a tactical carpet nuking of your naval forces blockading the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Sea. Good day!"

The Emperor had been following the reports and the rapidly declining situation for several days now. He was between a rock and a hard place. Old friends and allies ViZion, Jarridia, and Credonia were standing together against The Generic Empire, also an ally. Other nations where Xeraph had embassies were condemning ViZion, and several nations that were historically antagonistic to Xeraph were entering the fray. "Seems like we have a classic example of a cluster-fuck", he thought.
" John, here's my official response to this situation. Not everyone is going to like it, but we're walking a tight-rope here."
Gen. Lord John Strickland, Commander Xeraphian Forces, read the note, nodded absently, and said, " Alaric, this is most unlike you. You always choose sides, and let the chips fall where they may."
" Not this time, John. There are too many mega-nations involved, and we may eventually face a MAD situation. I can't let that happen."
________________________________________________________________

Official Response of the Royal Xeraphian Government to the ViZonian Conflict:

The Emperor truly regrets the loss of life in the Generic Empire. Whatever reason those planes had for over-flying GE's territory, the warheads should not have been armed. We are hereby officially repremanding and condemning ViZion's thoughtless actions that resulted in much death and destruction.

However, due to our long-standing friendship and alliance with ViZion, indeed all of the WWA, we will stand firm in our stance that we will defend ViZionian soil from invasion. Xeraph has an extensive presence in ViZion, as well as in the MedSea Region.
We will not attack any nation involved in this conflict unless we are first attacked. By "we" I refer to the members of the WWA, or any other nation that is allied to Xeraph.
The entire Xeraphian military, including the Empire's subject nations of Auralinia, Black Shadows, Grey Legions, Vhammpyr, and the Grey Phoenix are hereby put on full battle alert. This includes all nuclear capabilities of all aforementioned nations.
We urge all nations involved to meet and discuss conditions that will lead to a peaceful solution.
A response was sent to Xeraph;
Alaric, we thank you for your support. Our hearts go out to those lost in the strike launched upon Generia. We are extremely sorry to know that many have died from it.

However, what is does is done. The past cannot be changed. We have come under attack from Generia as they claimed they wanted peace. We were preparing to attack, however still remained in the Sea when Guffingford blockaded international waters - a violation of international law - against ALL nations not supporting his nation, or not allied with his nation. This includes you. He has also blockaded the Suez, part of which is controlled by the nation of Jarridia. This cannot stand.

This entire time, we have been acting in defense. The bombers were at their borders as a rapid-rataliation force, as intel stated a good change of a large-scale attack on us or our allies by Generia and others. Their strike against Generia was in defense of an attack upon our forces. Our preparation to attack Generia was in defense of an attack against our naval forces in our own waters.

Now, they threaten ALL nations with two blockades.

We thank you, and we understand your defensive standings. However, I am not sure how long it will be until they attack. But, intel once again states a large possibility on a strike against allied forces. And we must believe it. Terrorism against Jarridia not condemned by hostile forces - we forecasted their support to terrorism against allied nations. Acigoo going rampid in Phalanix - we forecasted an Acigoo attack against their people. And an offensive move by Guffingford against all non-hostile nations - also forecasted by our intel.

We thank you, Alaric, for your support. May we win this war - be it with words, or with blood.

Strategic Command, Hoogenbosch

'...It is clear they want to aim for aerial superiority so it's obvious they are going for the carriers first. It's not like they're needed. ViZion will be starved to death before their allies reach them.'
'True Mr Sterkfontein, Credonia is the prime threat here. They have established themselves in Somalia, and I suggest we take a closer look over there. We know from our intelligence networks they aren't afraid of using tactical nuclear weapons. However, they have to be flown in with heavy bombers. Their take-off can be easily detected, and once we do we lock our Rosseau's on them.'
'A sound choice. The Credonian navy has started moving towards us, the fools think they can run our blockade.'
'They can have the carriers, I don't care about them' the Minister of Defence, Leonard Ynsson, stated. 'I'm worried about their tactical nuclear armament, they will be sure to use it against us.'
'The following orders will be signalled to the fleet blocking Suez...'
'That's Mr Vimes sir.'
'Whatever. Just say to them, to order the Aasimar Captains to maximize the effect of the attack by firing all the sledgehammers at once. Make sure the Seismars and Toryu's dodge aircraft. Furthermore, I want the Dragoons to be sailing towards the Somalian coast once this battle is done. There they most harass coastal towns, tell them not to care about human life.'
'At once Mr Ynsson.'

And so it began. Strategic Command ordered the Aasimars to unload a single volley of eight-hundred missiles divided equally over all ships. Make sure every vessel of the Credonian western fleet is hit by no less than two missiles. Then nuclear retalliation is sure to come. But unfortunately, there are over two hundred anti-aircraft frigates nearby of the Seismar class, the most advanced anti-aircraft ship in the world. Once their ships get into range of the Aasimars, stop them at all costs.
Satellite feeds have shown SC that there's also a small carrier division floating around, aimless. It doesn't matter for the, their lives are forfeit. Their Western Fleet numbers around two hundred ships. One Aasimar is fully capable of launching eighthundred missiles in one volley. Two Aasimar's will be assigned for the massacre, and two missiles per hostile ship. That's pretty painful I reckon.

Official Statement from the Guffingfordian Administration

'Credonia has the most annoying habit of exhaling and ushering asinine simultaneously. We disregard their statements, we do not care about them, and we laugh at them.'

President Sutton, we must thank your nation for your unwaivering support. Many view us as the aggressors, when, in reality, it is just the other way. Many nations feel we were trying to coax them into attacking, or that we ourselves, were preparing to attack. In all reality, those aircraft were to be there for only fourty eight hours, locked on to targets in the event hostile forces launched a massive attack. Instead, they targetted those forces.

You have seen through this thick smoke screen that seems to distort reality. You see who the real aggressors are - the ones who blockaded the Suez Canal and the Gilbratar Strait from ALL nations except their own allies and supporters. The ones who, while wagering for peace on the outside, were only planning an attack, and then launched one, against our own ships, in our own waters, while I had been talking to their, believing full-heartedly that they wanted peace. And it seemed we were making much headway - until recently.

We once again thank you for your support. We will win this war, be it by words or by blood.

Public Statement Regarding Blockade
Should the Guffingford dare attack any non-hostile ships attempting to enter or exit through the Suez or Gibraltar, we will support those ships in an attack upon your blockade. Your fight is not with picking on neutral nations, or so-called "hostile" non-militant vessels who are trying to pass through those two areas. Yet you seem to intent on cutting off the Sea for ALL nations, not just ViZionarian and allied warships, which is a crime against international law, which you seem so apt to disregard. Should any non-militant ships from ViZion or allied nations, or ANY ship from neutral nations, be so much as TOUCHED, rather it is being boarded or attacked, you will severely regret it.

We welcome ALL nations to continue to use the Strait. Disregard their blockade. If your ship, or ships, are damaged or boarded against your will, we will strike them down in your protection!

Official Declaration of Neutrality

The Grand Imperium of Risban hereby officially declares neutrality in this conflict. However, any nation that harms an Imperial citizen or vessel, or even threatens the Grand Imperium, will see all forces of the Risban War Machine moving against the belligerent nation.

Due to Risban being a nation built on trade, and our presence in the Mediterranean Sea, we hereby submit this request to the noble nation of Guffingford to allow Imperial merchant fleets to pass by without any trouble. One small warning: our merchant fleets are usually escorted by a small military gunboat to fend off pirates. They will be coming in from the North Atlantic Ocean to pass into the Mediterranean. We request that they not be harmed.

Seeing as things are unstable at the moment, all naval trade with nations involved will be halted out of fear for the safety of Imperial citizens. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Should diplomats be needed, we are always willing to aid in helping a peaceful compromise be reached in this dreadful situation.

( a personal message to Mr. Maybury from Alaric Tan'it)

Old friend,
Rest assured that Xeraph stands behind ViZion, Credonia, Jarridia and all WWA nations that may become embroiled in this situation. As stated, we have an extensive presence in the MedSea, numbering some 32 CBG's each with 24-27 naval vessals in addition to land-based forces in many of our long-time allied nations. We have enough of a military presence to meet any challenge, and are in the process of calling up to high alert all of our subject-nation's forces, giving the Empire an additional 45% strike efficiency. If we have to throw ALL of the Xeraphian Empire's strength into this war, then we shall do so. Guffingford has been looking for an excuse to tangle with Xeraph for some time now. Xeraph is allied to many nations. He can't defeat them all. If Kruger has the balls to go all out, then so be it.
As concerns GE, they are also long-standing allies of Xeraph. We do not wish to come into open conflict with them. But we will defend ourselves.
Xeraph is here.....enemies are cautioned to rethink there positions before it's too late.

Official Statement from the Benevolent Dictatorship of Iuthia

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/iuthia.jpg

For the time being we are still making calulations on how this blockade will affect Iuthian trade, but for the time being it's fairly clear that it should not directly affect us and as such from an economic point of view we see little reason to get involved directly.

On a more political basis however it's clear to us that this blockade will anger some nations and provoke aggression from those who are directly affected, thankfully thus far efforts have been made to keep neutral trade routes open and assuming that the only nations directly affected by the blockade are nuatral there should be little reason to stop this blockade... though it's unlikely that this is the case we can only hope that some arrangements can be found or that the Guffingford government comes to it's senses.

On a note of international law, however, it's important to remind nations like Credonia who still don't seem to understand the realities of the world they live in that so called 'International Law' doesn't really exist... Iuthia has not signed it's name on any such conventions and most nations we know of ignore the concept of any set International Laws actually existing. This is why we did not recognise ViZions right to fly planes within a mile of another nations claimed borders. The borders are not enforced by 'International Law', but by the nation which claims them... there is no limit on borders accept the physical limitations on what a nation can defend and the other nations are prepared to accept. You threaten a nation on open water and that nation responds then you should concider how reasonable your threat was in the first place... in this case Guffingford is laying down it's rules and its up to each nation to either accept those rules or outright ignore them.

Iuthia does not support this blockade, but we are not affected and as such we aren't going to attempt to stop it militarily. It is neither legal or illegal, it just is... if it threatens your nation then we will not condemn you for taking out that threat, just like we didn't condemn Generic Empire for responding to your nations threat.

That is our view, for the time being we are still evaluating this situation but it doesn't change the fact that international law is little more then a interesting notion nations use to justify their actions... it doesn't in reality exist, it's just a name for the often excepted conventions of international politics, it's not a law so much as a guideline which we would prefer wasn't ignored.

So we say, if your nations trade is threatened directly by this, then we will understand your actions against this blockade. Unless you or your allies are directly affected, acting against it is little more then legitimising an attack you've always wanted to do.

Official Communication to Guffingford

Let me tell you what we're not going to do, esteemed leadership of Guffingford, and that is keep your little ships frolicking around our waters. If you were unaware of this fact, Jarridia has claimed territorial claim to the Suez Canal and Sinai Peninsula (including Port Said) since the Daylami wars, when Lower Egypt thanked Jarridia for its support, and protection of the Egyptian Nation.

I honestly don't care what you do with the Straight of Gibraltar, but I cannot continue to watch you invade my soveriegn border. If you do not leave my waters, I will have no choice but to insure that every Guffingfordian ship has been utterly destroyed. The Suez Canal has been deemed in my protection for being a good ally, friend and trustworthy partner. I have full control over who goes in and who goes out, and you have absolutely no right to say otherwise.

From this point forward, until the Jarridian government states its retraction, Guffingford is no longer allowed to utilize the Suez Canal as a waterway between the Red and Meditteranean Seas. This goes for any ship. If a Guffingfordian ship enters these waters, they will be fired upon immediately.

We urge you to leave our Canal at once, for I would hate to see all those pretty dingy's at the bottom of the sea.

We must support our ally, Jarridia on this. If you refuse to remove your ships from his sovereign waters, we will be forced to help them rid his waters of your ships.

As we speak, a fleet of 20 destroyers and 15 aircraft carriers are being dispatched to the Suez. More air support shall be called in if you refuse to leave his waters.

Official list of forces blockading hostile militant vessels from entering the Gibraltar Strait in response to your own blockade of all nations is as follows:
50 Aegis-Class Destroyers
50 Iowa-Class Destroyers
50 Montana-Class Destroyers
20 Arleigh Burke class Destroyers
15 Invincible-Class Aircraft Carriers
10 Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriers
20 Essex-Class Aircraft Carriers
5 Yorktown-Class Aircraft Carriers
5 Lexington-Class Aircraft Carriers
30 Iowa-Class Battleship’s
30 Nelson-Class Battleship’s
50 Virginia-Class Battleship’s
20 Nergal-Class Battleship’s

Also, using allied bases in Spain, we have the addition of:
200 F-22’s
200 F/A-18’s
200 SU-35’s
200 SU-37’s
200 JSF’s
200 F-35’s
200 Comanche Helicopter’s
200 Apache Helicopter’s
100 Cobra Attack Helicopter’s
100 Seawolf Helicopter’s
5 B-1 Bombers
10 B-52 Bombers
1 B-2 Stealth Bombers

We are prepared to use all forces in the event you do not allow any non-militant vessel from any nation - rather they are aligned with your nation or not. If you do so much as board their ship, or refuse to allow them to use international waters to enter or exit the Sea, we will use all force necessary to destroy every last one of your forces who do not surrender to us.

Once again, allow all vessels to pass. It is one thing if they launch an offensive against you in international waters. HOWEVER, blocking vessels from using this bit of water NOT controlled by your nation is, and WILL BE, viewed as aggression and an act of war.

Until your nation ends its blockade, not one militant vessel of yours, your allies, or your supporter shall be allowed to pass. End your blockade now, and we will end ours.

Havana, Cuba

"What a fool the leader of Guffingford is," commented the Foreign Minister.
"I think we all agree, Vassily Petrovich," the Defense Minister cooled him, "But the Chairman and myself here have a plan."

The Minister of Internal Affairs leaned forward, "And what is that?"

The Defense Minister addressed the table, "Simply put, we challenge the blockade. Covertly of course."

The Foreign Minister looked between the silent Chairman and the Defense Minister, "And just how do you propose we do that?"

"Submarines."

The men at the table leaned back and considered this. Five minutes later, the plan being detailed, the vote passed 4-0. Unanimous.

SECRET IC:
Third Captain Borodin ripped the telex off the printer, "Interesting. I'm glad our Politburo has gained some teeth." He addressed his first mate. "Make your depth 300 meters. Ahead two thirds."

"Make my depth 300 meters. Ahead two thirds, aye Comrade Captain."

Borodin leaned instinctively as the submarine pitched towards the sea bed and gained speed. He was heading towards the Mediterranean Sea, part of a wolfpack of three Improved Alpha-class submarines that had three sister wolfpacks, one of them containing three of the mysterious SSN-994-01 Echos.

OOC: Perhaps I've not been clear about this: I'm not directly blocking the Suez, I'm doing it from Eritrea - Yemen. It doesn't matter, the Red Sea is blocked no matter how you look at it. The whole sea area is mined, covered with anti-air missiles and patrols. RADAR and LADAR buoys have been set out to detect submarines and such. If one buoy fails to function, then we know something's up.

IC:
Official Government Statement

'We do not recognize Jarridia's claims on sovereign Egyptian territory, nor do we recognize them as a sovereign nation. The Guffingfordian administration reserves its God given rights to block any piece of water as they see fit, and none of you is authorized to negiotiate with us. Neutral nations such as Schultaria Prime, Risban, Independent Hitmen, Euroslavia, Hogsweat and other fully neutral nations are allowed to pass freely, but we will monitor every move they make. If we even get the feeling they're passing weapons around, we will block their passage.

Plus, we have decided, in light of the acts of aggression towards Guffingford, to enforce our naval positions with more ships. A few days ago we have ordered the AAF 288 to depart Svalbard to support the blockade at Gribraltar, and the same goes for Suez, which shall come from Socrota. We expect that none of you fools decide to make a move against us, for we will make short work of that. We know how to treat unwanted people, just like we do back home.

Do not tempt us to pull the trigger, despite the hot headedness of all your presidents, kings or emperors. Such nations bathe in pool of endless narcism it's not narcism anymore. It's calling egophilia.'

Flagship of Lorgan Vimes, blocking the Suez Channel
GIN Clockwork, Apparition Class Dreadnaught

Everything's in order. The Credonian navy is moving in from Somalia, Jarridia is threatening us with war, ViZion is mobilized again. God, they have no idea about our naval capabilities. Lorgan Vimes walked on the lower balcony of the first Command Tower while touching the armour. He was pondering how many long hours the designers worked it, and how perfect it was. All sorts of tests have concluded the very same thing: missiles bounce off, shells and their explosion cannot have a grip on the fire-resistant and heat resistant coatings. Yes, UHTS was an excellent invention. Mr Vimes looked at the missile bays, ready to fire within thirty seconds. It's good to be the captain and commander of such a fine fleet. It's good to be all-knowing, and they obviously have no clue whatsoever. Do they honestly think the numbers we released publically about our navy are correct in any way? Do they really think we do not have a back-up fleet? Oh sure, Socrota that's not a difficult one. No, beneath the waves where their eyes avail not.

So, who will be against us? But let's not get ahead of ourselves, what we know here is undeniable. Credonia, ViZion and if Jarridia lives through the war with Doomingsland and the rest of CAD, they might join in too. Who else? This is purely speculation, but something tells me Communist Rule is willing to be part of this too. Since we have not detected any major naval things going about near Cuba, they've probably sent a few wolfpacks of submarines. Logical conclusion: they're heading for Gribraltar. That'll take 'em a week to get over there, and I'm sure my colleague Mr Dafydd's waiting for them. I do not think ViZion will be too hard to handle for us. He has bases in Spain, yet the technology he uses is outdated. An F16? PAH! What a pathetic waste of time, we should telegram him and demand that if he doesn't want to improve his standards, we refuse to fight him. He's below our standard, he is without honor.

They're on the move, they're placing their pieces on the map.

"Guffingford assets have placed enough sonar buoys in the Med to walk from end to end without getting your feet wet. He's expecting subs, and probably has a sizeable fleet underneath the water."

"We don't have any assets in the Mediterranean?"

"Not that I'm allowed to tell you of, Vassily Petrovich."

The Defense Minister and the Chairman of the CSE exchanged a look. The Defense Minister leaned over and put his hand on the Foreign Minister's shoulder, "Vassily, do not worry. It is better if you did not know. We alone will then take the fall if we fail."

The quiet Minister of Internal Affairs spoke up, "Comrades, have we spoken with our longest and most trusted ally?"

The Foreign Minister turned to him, "Not yet, Kliment Vyacheslavich, but I am sure they will comply with some assets. However, the more important thing," he paused to look around at the table, "is to make contact with the nations who are allies of our allies."

The Defense Minister squinted and looked at the Foreign Minister...this politican was brewing something, "What are you thinking, Vassily?"

The Foreign Minister looked around the table with fake coolness, "I have a plan."

The Politburo Chamber was dominated by one voice for the next 15 minutes. The first sound was the Defense Minister laughing deep from his belly and slapping the Foreign Minister on his back, "Vassily Petrovich, we'll make a soldier out of you yet!"

The Minister of Internal Affairs leaned forward and addressed the Defense Minister, "Nikita Eduardovich, you will speak with the Admiral of the Fleet of the Cuban Territories as soon as possible," he turned towards the Foreign Minister, "make immediate contact with our closest ally," he looked to the CSE Chairman, "Boris, keep a lid on this and prepare a maskirova."

All four men rubbed their temples at one point as the exited the building.

Secret IC
The Admiral of the Fleet of the Cuban Territories looked across the table at the Defense Minister, "Grand Fleet Twelve is currently protecting our shipping assets near India." He flashed his eyes at the Defense Minister.

"Get it moving, comrade Admiral. Full steam."

Boris Ivanovich Shaposhnikov stood on the edge of the quay as he watched submarine after submarine being pulled on their tracks into the open sea. He lost count at 80. He looked up into the bright, clear day sun and wondered if he would be home in time for lunch.

An anonymous message was received via telex on the CSS "Llave." The captain frowned and rubbed his stubble. He looked out through the bridge at the Ivan Rogov-class landing ships his Grand Fleet contained. He turned to his communications officer, "Send a message to the fleet. Set a course due North, full speed ahead."

He turned to his CAG, "Wartime-condition patrols, comrade Captain. Send up our fighters at once."

He took an antiacid pill and smiled to himself, he hadn't done that in awhile.
--------------------------------------------------------
Captain Borodin had surfaced for a moment to allow the ESM wire to pick up his new orders via telex. He ripped off the page and ordered the dive. "I'll be damned. Continue on course and make your speed 25 knots."

He heard his sonar officer stick his head out the hatch, "Comrade Captain, we will be cavitating."

"Take her down to 400 meters." He lit a cigarette and went over to the charts to confer with the navigator.

The “Big Three” of Aztlán’s government – Premier Quetzalcoatl Nochtli, the Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Darius Wellington and Chief Warrior-General Tlanextic Zanzazilli gathered around the table. Reports upon reports were gathered around the current conflict. Of course, the ANL had a stance. Any socialist would know who to side with; yet, this would be a most difficult thing to do.

“Premier, our allies in ViZion are starving. Clearly, the fascists have stepped too far.” Zanzazilli said.

Dr. Wellington sat up straight, “I agree, Premier. However, you know we face certain reprisal.”

Zanzazilli looked up, “You know we can defend ourselves if we have to. We have the ability to wage defensive and offensive operations, the entire military is already permanently at 75% readiness anyways.”

The Premier nodded. Quietly, the young Premier stood up and looked out his window. It was his typical habit when something was bothering him. Quietly, he looked over the large metropolis. Quietly, he looked over the now clear air, the people walking about, and the cars driving down the road. He then looked at the flag of Aztlán on a pole in front of the Grand Union Hall, watched it wave in the wind. In his heart, he felt pride – he had fought for that country; that flag. He had been injured and injured others. He had fought, rebelled and killed for the country he now ran. Yet, he knew that this war could change the country. He knew that involvement could bring immeasurable wealth and power to the ANL. He knew that involvement could bring death for the nation and the people.

He turned around and looked into the waiting eyes of the ministers. He said slowly, “Well, there is a time for everything. A time to make peace, a time to keep peace…however, now is not the time to keep peace. Now is the time to stand. The cause is worthy enough, and we have the ability to do something. To stand by in apathy while the world changes around is suicide. Maybe, this is suicide; yet, we can not allow us to remain complacent while our allies starve, while the fascists trample over the people. That is not honor, there is no honor in pointless apathy. Send a convoy to Vizion to challenge the blockade. Send escorts – Typhoon-II stealth subs. I have a letter to write.”

The ministers nodded, and the two walked out of the office.

'So, Communist Rule is going to move towards us from the east? Submarines coming from us from the west? This will be a monumental battle.

Under the guise of protecting their fleet? ViZion has made the blockade public knowledge, but the cunning diplomatic tricks of Kellus Constantine will pay off. It doesn't matter if Credonian ships pass under a neutral flag, or the International Red Cross. No, the government doesn't even care for a moment about ViZion or the war against CAD. They are allies, and they can handle their own dirty laundry but this is just to show the world we're not the first military yokels around.

Nations condemn the blockade, yet they are allowed to pass. Hypocrites! Hypocrites they are! Lord Tufnel will come soon enough from Svalbard with yet another anti-submarine fleet, but I fear the hammer will strike hardest at Suez, where I am. I do not fear death, even when I look into his or her eyes. I hear their anger on the newsfeed daily, but I feel indiffirent about it.

Coastal batteries, guns and artillery were being placed as I'm writing these words. I laugh now, as I see progress all around me. The furnaces burn bright and hellish fire is being spat out by the smelters and ovens, churning out the steel on which Guffingford is built. Concrete battletowers are being erected, from Socrota more ships are sailing towards us, there's nothing we cannot handle except the joys of victory.
Good Lord, you're such a loving and caring God, why do you allow these fools to embrace a mission of suicide? Within four days ninety percent of the coastal fortifications are ready, and we will be testing the new and enhanced missile batteries shipped in from Guffingford months ago. These Sledgehammer batteries may be the change of tide we need. Soon their juggernauts of war will run out of steam, but our flow of hatred and gold is infinite. On pure hatred alone we can fight for years.

The day draws nearer.

I do not know how Captain and friend Max Dafydd feels about this, but somehow all fear abandoned me. I feel stronger every day that passes, and I can handle more.
I ordered the Aasimars and Toryu's to sail to the frontlines of the future battlescene, they will be the first to take the hits - and deflect them. Right behind them the anti-submarine Jet Class will take place. The anti-aircraft Seismars are also taken into account, but due to the high range of the Rosseau missiles, they can be put on the same line as the Jets. The carriers will be placed behind the lines, offering aerial support. I do not think it is needed. Submarines are bound to support the Credonian fleet, but we have plenty of protection against such nasty surprises. Our anti-submarine buoys have not yet detected a submerged presence.
Good news has arrived, the software packages that came with the Sledgehammers is updated, and now we can individually instruct a single missile if we deem it necessary. This makes them twice as effective, and we conserve fuel that way, increasing their range with at least twenty to thirty kilometers...'

Bonstock

25-07-2005, 17:05

ooc: I'm not actually gonna join this war, but because of Axis Nova's offer to pay a billion USD to any merchant captain who runs the blockade, I'm just gonna have a nice story going about two rogue merchant mariners and their quest for a $1,000,000,000 reward...

ic:

(First post, see thread about blockade)

Billy O'Keefe was a thrill seeker. He'd been in the business of blockade running for years now, bringing in shipments of illegal arms, drugs, and women from all over the world to Bonstock. He'd been in a lot of hairy situations, including at least one arrest by the Bonstocknian Coast Guard. Of course, with a few drugs, he was able to bribe his way out of that one, and was acquitted. Sure, he'd murdered a few people on the way. Some Bonstocknian customs agents just get to close sometimes. Either way, he'd made an honest living running through blockades. Together with his first mate, Charlie McGregor, and their small, fast boat, the Little Eagle, they were some of the most feared smugglers on the high seas.

Of course, every now and then they would need to borrow money, which they would pay back in shipments. One such lender was Oliver Jaback. King of the Bonstocknian underworld, he needed a shipment of nearly a billion dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana, and payed O'Keefe and McGregor to get it. A dangerous assignment. But the rewards would be great.

They picked the shipment up, of course, and started coming back. It was uneventful. No stoppages, not even a simple revenue collector to bother them. But as soon as they got within sight of the Bonstocknian shoreline, their luck ran out. Someone had tipped off somebody at the Bonstocknian Coast Guard about the shipment, and that somebody was eager for a little payback at the two miscreant smugglers. Dozens of warships appeared in the path to shore, and they were chasing after the Little Eagle, and gaining.

O'Keefe looked out at the ships. "Dammit McGregor, dump the cargo!" he yelled.

"Billy, this shit's worth nearly a billion!"

"Yeah, but either we pay that or we'll be spending a lot of time in prison."

"All right."

Nearly a billion dollars worth of drugs was dumped into the waters off Bonstock that day. A helicopter flew overhead, and a boarding party of a few Coastguardmen rappelled onto the boat.

"Let me see the cargo hold," one of the boarders commanded.

O'Keefe showed them every nook and cranny on that damn boat. Not a single morsel of illegal items. The coastguardmen tipped their hats, apologized for the inconvenience, and left.

O'Keefe was able to land safely in Bonstock's capital of Port Yuko. Unfortunately, one of Oliver Jaback's lackeys was there waiting. "Wheres the shipment?" he demanded.

O'Keefe smiled a bit, and said, "It's not exactly here right now. Just give me a few more days."

"I will tell him that," the man said, and left.

McGregor was right behind O'Keefe. "I have a bad feeling he knows exactly what shit we pulled today."

"Yeah, you're probably right," was O'Keefe's response.

They tied their ship up at the docks, and went downtown to a local tavern, the Port Yuko Cantina. As a band played a lively tune, all sorts of scum and villianry gathered in this wretched hive, and began discussing their operations and sipping some of the best drinks in Bonstock. O'Keefe sat down with McGregor at the bar. "What'll it be, Billy?" the bartender said, with a thick Russian accent.

"Just the usual, Vlad. A nice vodka for both of us. It's been a long day."

"Yeah, heard you boys just got past whole god damn Bonstocknian Navy today."

"Hey, Vlad, you know where I can get me a billion dollars real easy real fast?"

"Myself, I'm not sure. But I hear rumors from Mediterranean. Guffingford is blockading Mediterranean at both exits. And Axis Nova is offering one billion US dollars to anyone who breaks the blockade."

"One billion smackers! My god that can save our skin! McGregor, get back to the ship and get 'er ready. We're goin to the Mediterranean, lad!"

"All right," McGregor said, taking his vodka and leaving.

"Thanks a million, Vlad!" O'Keefe said.

"Don't mention it," Vlad responded.

O'Keefe got up. A man with a pistol confronted him. "Going somewhere, Billy?" he said.

"Yes, Beedo," said O'Keefe, casually sitting down at a booth. "I was just going to see your boss, tell him I'll have his shipments soon."

Beedo sat down across from him, pointing his pistol angrily. "Jaback's though with you. He has no time for smugglers who drop their cargo at the first sign of a Bonstocknian Coast Guard cutter. He's put a price on your head so big, every bounty hunter in Bonstock will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first."

O'Keefe began thumbing a pistol in his pocket. "But I have his money this time."

"If you give it to me," said Beedo greedily, with a hint of sadistic glee in his voice, "I might forget I found you."

O'Keefe paused a moment. "I don't have the money with me right now."

"Tell that to Jaback," Beedo shot back. "He might only take your ship."

"Over my dead body."

"That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this!"

"Yeah, I bet you have!" O'Keefe pulled his pistol out, and shot Beedo between the eyes as he blinked. Beedo's face fell onto the table, his body stone-cold dead. The music paused for a moment, as the rest of the tavern began staring. O'Keefe got back up. Then everyone turned back to what they were doing, and the music began playing again. O'Keefe tossed a few coins to Vlad. "Sorry bout that," he said, and casually exited the tavern.

O'Keefe walked back to the docks. "Let's get going, McGregor," he shouted. "Next stop, the Mediterranean, and one billion dollars of Axis Nova reward money!"

(new post... continuation, the attempt, etc.)

O'Keefe and McGregor arrived in Djibouti after departing from Bonstock a few days ago. Their ship, or rather oversized cigarette boat, depending on its designation, was tied up in the moorings, refueling after a long journey. Now the trick was coming. If the boat could get through the blockade and get to Suez with its cargo, a few hundred surplus MREs for anti-Guffingford soldiers, then the two mariners would be billionaires, able to pay off Jaback and live off the profit for the rest of their lives. Or be able to blow it all in one night of gambling at the Port Yuko Cantina, but have fun doing so.

O'Keefe and McGregor walked up to the ship, after a night of gambling and womanizing at a Djibouti hotel (and almost getting shot for womanizing in a Muslim country). "Is she ready?" O'Keefe yelled to a dockworker.

"Yes, sir," the dockworker responded.

"McGregor, lets get going." The both got in the boat, and got out of the harbor, and began casually steaming towards the Red Sea.

"All right," said O'Keefe. "We're almost to the blockade zone. Let's see how fast we can get this baby going!"

He looked up ahead. Hundreds of ominous grey hulls loomed in the distance. McGregor leaned over. "Billy I have a bad feeling about this."

O'Keefe stared ahead. "I'm starting to agree with you," he said, his eyes fixed on the ships ahead. He accelerated as fast as he could, nearly sixty knots, and made the mad dash towards the blockade, crossing his fingers that he'd come out alive.

Captain Max "Foulweather" Dafydd's Flagship, Blocking Gribraltar
GIN Serpentine, Apparition Class Dreadnaught

'Captain, Sir. A merchant vessel is getting close to our first line? Your orders?' Dafydd slowly got up from his chair, put on his sailor hat and followed the messenger to the bridge. Peering through the blast protected windows, shielded with all sorts of coatings and other passive protection, he smiled and said: 'Well, let them through. Make sure you have some cameras to catch this on film.'
'Aye Sir!' and the messenger was off to find a cameraman.

A few hours later...

Dafydd was still walking around on the bridge, doing nothing really. Then he got tired of waiting, he grabbed the megaphone and went outside. Switched it on, and aimed for the merchant vessel. It came from Bonstock, a nation Dafydd heard some vague things about. Probably daredevils eager for the money Axis Nova promised them, heh.
'HELLO?' No answer came. 'I know you people are from Bonstock and I know you want the money Axis Nova promised you.' Still no reply.
'And we also know you have to run the blockade, not gaining entry legal. You are hereby permitted to enter the Med.'
With that said, the crews of the whole fleet began to laugh hysterically, rolling over the decks, crying out.

So much for Axis Nova's offer.

Official Imperial Statement:

As we have merged with the nation of Generia we feel it is our right and duty to extend their territorial borders so that any hostile ship the feels it can merely circle the borders before an attack will have to think again. Because of this expansion, and taking onto account the territorial waters of other CAD nations any nation which wishes to have ships outside of Generia will have no choice but to have them several hundred miles off of Generia’s coast to the north, or trespass in CAD waters.

If it were not for Guffingford’s blockade and thus stopping the Vizion ships we would extend these borders to 700 miles off of Generia, but since they have been stopped we will only go to 400 miles off of the coast. Generia of course may change this if it is their wish.

OOC: Monsteria, I doubt that anyone will hire mercenaries right now, when full-blown war breaks out, if it does, then you will probably have bids.

We agree with your blockade of the Mediterranean Sea to an extent. We agree that it is a good idea to stop Vizion ships from exiting and starting a war, which will cost many lives. But your blockade goes a little far in stopping ships of neutral nations; you could economically destroy many nations. Perhaps you should allow non-military travel to neutral nations.

We ask that you cease your aid for Jarridia, we do not wish for you to be divided between two allies, and so ask that instead you choose to be neutral. You could be the site of peace talks, which could save millions of lives.

However, if you persist to commit and offer support to a nation that is hostile to Borman and committing acts of war against an ally we will see your nation as hostile. At that point in time we will break all alliances and diplomatic ties with your nation and prepare for war with you. We do not want to see this occur.

As a sign of our willingness to continue friendly and peaceful alliances with your nation we will leave you exempt from the recent orders of evicting and/or arresting all WWA citizens and soldiers within the nation of Borman.

A day that will never be forgotten

'...Orders came in from our benevolent leader Paul Kruger this morning. I read a copy of the encrypted message sent to Lord Tufnel and his fleet moving in from Oman, he will be around Socotra now where additional ships have joined him. This makes his fleet the size of mine, and two large flotillas. Tufnel was positioned between Yemen and Socotra, making an escape for the Credonian ships even more difficult. The ships which already enforced my fleet a few days ago have been welcomed by everyone aboard, we will need it even though I do not expect grave difficulties. A sickle will surround the Credonian ships, they will have to fight two massive fleets and die or run like the cowards they are...'

So said Lorgan Vimes on the day before the attack. A tactical nuclear strike was inevitable, so Strategic Command took the gamble. Missiles or a doomed squadron of airfighters? Missiles for sure, and the Credonian government may be dictatorial and imperialistic, they're not dumb bumpkins. Well they are, but something told Lorgan that they won't send over fifty missiles at a fleet. Knowing Credonia, they will go for a tactical nuclear response. They have eyes, they know our fleet is well-equipped with the most advanced SDI systems Doomingsland has to offer. Whoever gave Credonia the notion that we will just do nothing keep on blocking Suez should be hanged - economically spoken it's a waste of money. Seen from military viewpoint, the blockade will be maintained even when Guffingford's defeated. The cleaning, and the time required to take down the fortress known as Eritrea will take months of intense siege.

Weeks became days, and days became hours. The two fleets commanded by Mr Lorgan Vimes and Lord William Tufnel, two seasoned and decorated naval commanders begin form the sickel; the last shape the Credonians shall see. The Red Sea was closed off behind them, slowly entering the Arabian Sea. Slowly taking shape, the first green dots begin to appear on the CELLDAR and LADAR screens, a few kilometers out of range.

'Armament Command please.' Lorgan said on the intercom, a voice replied.
'AC Strödbeck here, your orders?'
'Load the ASM batteries, full volley.'
'Aye Sir.' Oddly enough, Mr Strödbeck's voice sounds delightful.

Within the bowels of the titanic Apparition Class, the QLS began to load the missile cells with the imfamous Sledgehammer missile. Updated and improved, this version allowes be even more accurate and precise. Software suites are all top-notch and are going to prove their worth once again. Lorgan was thinking about his friend Dafydd, ViZion relies on battleships and large airwings of the shape jetfighter. I hope he's alright.

'AC please.' Again the same voice replied to Lorgan.
'We are within range in three, two, one... Good. I want you to launch six Sledgehammers on every ship of their fleet we see on our screen. We have enough hostiles on our screen to make this attack worthwhile. Pummel them with missile fire!'
'Yes Sir!' The fanatical voice of Mr Strödbeck said.

The sickel was perfect, a perfect circle in half around the Credonian fleet from the African mainland to Socotra. The ships are in range, over three hundred and fifty ships of the Guffingfordian fleet versus two hundred of the Credonian, a massacre will ensue.
They were off, sixteen hundred Sledgehammer missiles were on their way to their maximum altitude, to shoot down with Mach seventeen and to destroy the whole Credonian western fleet. Lord Tufnel saw from the bridge the lines and bright dots flying across the sky. Gracefully traversing the hot air, going almost straight up. After a few minutes, which felt like hours, they began on their decent down to the hostile fleet.

OOC: I'm willing to accept a tactical nuclear strike, but for the sake of RP keep it within reason. One hundred or even fifty ICBM's isn't what you call "tactical". If you can call nuclear weapons tactical at all, that is. I also posted several times of Tufnel enforcing Lorgan, so this has all been RPed.

Missiles fired:
2×1600 Sledgehammer anti-dreadnaught missiles coming down at Mach 17. First volley locked on Credonian ships; six times two is twelve hundred will hit his ships, if everything's correct. The four hundred are randomly fired in the ships general direction to cause even more chaos.

Third Captain Borodin had made excellent progress since he first received his orders. He received the message from the Comms room and found himself lighting another cigarette, "No shit," he picked up the shipboard phone, "Engine room," he paused, "Flank speed......yes, Vassily.... Give me 110% for 30 minutes."

The Alphas in his wolfpack all accelerated to approximately 46 knots. Soon thereafter the other two wolfpacks accelerated to their flank speeds.

--------------------------------------------------------
It was no small task leading a group of 114 sumbarines. Distancing was a problem. Detection of friendlies was a problem. Figuring out just who was who was difficult. The organization of this fleet fell to one man.

Fleet Admiral Nikolay Emmetovich Tupolev sweated heavily as he read the orders received from the comms room, he ordered the sumbarine to periscope depth and began tapping out instructions to the other submarines. Soon thereafter all 114 boats dived deeper and gained more speed.

Fleet Admiral Evegeniy Fedorich Mishkin was leaning over the navigator's chart, preferring to use it rather than the high-tech navigation screens. Ahead of them lay the Suez canal. Intel reported that the Guffingford Navy had closed the sea behind them. Good. He began proper communication procedure to Jarridia as per instructions from Naval High Command.

Official Communication to Guffingford

Dear Esteemed Leadership of Guffingford,

We seem to have got off on the wrong foot, and I would like to take this time to re-calibrate our current conditions so that we can further move forward in discussions. You seem to think that you are making a statement by blockading the Red Sea and Gibraltar, but really, I, and many others, see this as nothing but a ploy to gain attention. Currently, I see you as a small teenage girl, running about and flailing your little arms. Now, I don't mean to insult you, but to merely point out how you are coming across to me, and others.

I believe that you need to take a step back, and look at the big picture. What exactly are you blockading and why? Why are you being so stubbord, and cutting off trade to so many vibrant and productive nations? Is this for your own personal goals, or merely to try and make yourself stand out? To me, this seems as a publicity stunt and nothing more. To get your name out there. This conflict is going to continue, with our without your intervention.

I have nothing against you, nor does any person in Jarridia. This is not disrupting our trade in the least, as we are not located primarily in the Mediterranean. I am coming to you on my own free will, to inform you of what the international community is beginning to think. The choice, of course, is yours. All recommendations point to coming to the table and ending this silly and disrespectful embargo. Let you and I come to an agreement, and get the Suez Canal running again. Put ViZion and the rest behind, I'm sure you and I can fix any sort of questions and qualms you may have.

"Forget trying to salvage it. From the threats that they've been spouting off, most of it will be irradiated." grumbled another.

"Why would that stop us from selling it?" asked a third.

"Enough," barked the Great Dark One "Whats important here is that when the battles commence it will determine the naval supperiority on the oceans for the forseable future. Because militarily we rely on our navy as a way to transport our troops rather than using it for naval superiority, we will need to keep on the best terms with whoever comes out with control of the Indian ocean."

The council murmered in agreement with their leader's assesment.

"How goes our training program for our foreign income platoons?" asked the Dark One.

The various Dark Council members began reading off the recruitment and training figures for their region. For a wildly spouted off idea, the concept had apparently taken on a wildstorm of public interest and the normaly well funded army was feeling strained keeping all of its "cousin" military service equiped.

"I should note my lord, that most of these will be little more than light platoons and brigades. We have supplied APCs and recon vehicles for the larger groups, but there is virtually no armor among them." pointed out one of the Councilmembers.

"Yes, General Eyad advised me on this before he began the formulating the program. We will be sending regular soldiers trained in armor combat, but unless the customer nations intend to pay out the nose for our tanks they will have to supply their own for the mercinary forces."

"That could be dangerous for our troops lord."

"Which is why we send them our expendables nuber... er..." The council was silent for a moment as the Dark One tried to work out who was talking currently. "Well anyway, just know that they are expendables. Isn't that right number 3?"

The Dark Council looked among itself for a moment, trying to figure out who to take the tittle. Finally, one of the less timid spoke. "Er, yes lord. About half are fanatics to the cause of the church, a third are slavelings put in for their bounty, and the remainder are freelings that either want the money or a chance to see new places."

"It is too bad we couldn't get more of the fanatics. Our people fought viciously for the cause of the church durring the uprising 10 years ago." put in one of the council members.

"Ahhh sirs? The comscanners report those white lines on the screen there indicates that missiles have been fired..."

WARNING. THIS POST CONTAINS MILD LANGUAGE NOT SUITABLE FOR PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 42

Dmitri Milosvaji, President of the Republic of Artitsa yawned. It was an early morning, he had been woken-up by his new assistant. 'God damn bitch, she won't last a month.' Dmitri mumbled to his desk.
"Mr President, Congresswoman Alissa Labreche is here to see you."
A scowl sweeped across the presidents usually calm features.
"What the hell Martha? I hate that woman! You need to tell me, instead of just granting them visits."
"Sir, she said it was important"
Dmitri sneered into the phone, "She thinks anything she says is important. Tell her to go away!"

There was a slight pause, Martha must have held her palm over the reciever... not that it mattered. Dmitri could hear Labreche outside his door. No less than a minute later she burst in. Dmitri wiped away the scowl and replaced it with a warm smile, standing up to greet his 'guest'. "Alissa! Nice to see you! Have you lost weight?" He smiled as wide as he could, he certainly did not want a fight this morning, and he certainly did not want one with this person.
"Why yes actually I have!" ('Not that anyone would notice you cow!' the words crept through Dmitri's mind) "Your such a charmer. Dmitri, when are you going to leave that boarish woman and come back onto the Market?" She grinned. Dmitri swore he could see last evenings dinner stuck in her teeth, dear god.
"What do you want Alissa, I'm very busy." Dmitri was in fact, not busy at all. Things were quite slow in Artitsa these days, which was kind of nice.
"Well Dimmy," her smile fading into a frown, "I read in the paper about this block... blockad... blockade? Of Gillbert?"
"You mean Gibralter?" Dmitri rolled his eyes.
"Ah yes, what you said! Anyways it seems these poor Axis Novians and Vizonianananas are starving!"
"Yeah ok.. so what?"
"DMITRI! WE HAVE TO SAVE THEM!"
Dmitri, President of Artitsa just stared at her blankly. Who in their right mind would elect that beast? "Um. Ok, sure. Why?"
"They're all skinny and such, Dimmy. You know its really quite disgusting, and I don't want to have to look at those skeletons everytime I read Time magazine!"
"Oh for god's sakes. FINE! We'll send some food, but promise me something?"
"Sure Dimmy, anything!"
"Leave. Don't come back. Oh, and lose some weight, kay?" And thus, Dmitri Milosvaji left the room through a side exit.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Avast Captain! Ships ahead!"
"Thompson, would you talk normally before I actually kill you?"
"Aye Sir. Theres the blockade, 125km's east according to our RADAR."
Captain Kanakorvik nodded slowly. He looked out over the massive deck of the I-9414, a massive container ship. Behind him was the I-8768, almost identical. And between them, a smaller "merchant vessel", although its name was a bit different than the two container ships.

It looked like a Artitsan Naval Dry Foods ship. It had the sloping features, long RADAR mast, etc. No weapons, visible anyway. To anyone it would look like a naval vessel, but showed no threat whatsoever. It had two names, if Kanakorvik remembered correctly. It was designated Viking, of the Viking Class of Merchant Raiders. Odd, as it was the only vessel completed of that class. Its other name was only known to merchant-men... The Grey Storm. Their RADAR would grey out with such interference it would be pointless in even having it aboard.

Having talked to the legendary captain of the Viking, Kanakorvik knew that below the deck, 8 14" guns slumbered until they were needed. Missiles waited patiently in their tubes, while strange aircraft lay in wait inside.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Commodore Tirazov paced back and forth across his observation bridge. Unlike the captains of the two vessels fore and aft of his own, he had full knowledge of the situation.

Directly below I-8768 crept SSN-2101-48 'Blue Shark'. This paticular submarine was of the 2101 series, designed primarily for surface combat, but performed quite well in ASW too. She was a fine boat, headed by Captain James O'Hara. She swam in the wake of I-8768; An awfully dangerous position for a submarine, but quite necessary in this instance. The noisy churning would drown out any sound of the Blue Shark.

To the northwest, several hundred, if not thousand kilometers sat the 4th Fleet of Artitsa. Fleet Admiral Breen sat in the bridge of his Red Star SD, just waiting. To the south, about fifty kilometers a wolf shadowed the convoy's route. Two Boxer-Class SSN's and a SSN-1201. They would be on standby.

The blockade crept ever closer, only two and a half hours left before they passed it, traveling at their 19kts.

"Sir... it seems our messages have gotten out. We're detecting what seems to be non-naval vessels. Ours have been sent to the airforce to send out recon planes to see exactly what is coming. We'll hear back from them very shortly." reported one of the RAD officers onboard the VND "Jackson" to Admiral Al Amar.

"Very good. Keep me informed. And prepare the ships to engage should they begin firing upon those ships." the Admiral ordered.

At the blockade…

A convoy of six cargo freighters swayed upon the sea, moving at a fast pace, while a fleet of Typhoon-II stealth submarines moves quietly in the shadowy depths of the ocean. The large convoy ships were lightly armed, but heavily armored. Although officially carrying food and medical supplies, deep within the hulls of the cargo freighters, the real cargo lie in the shadows. 200 DEM-350 missiles were stored in each freighter lie in wait in discreet crates, hidden within the superstructure of the vessels.

In the control center of the lead freighter, Commander Huitzel looked ahead at the sky’s horizon. He felt nervous, very nervous. He had spent nearly 31 years piloting cargo freighters. His career was his life. And it seemed now that because of the powers that be, both his career and his life might end on the same day.

“Damn!” The commander slammed his fist into the armchair.

A much younger radar officer turned around, “What Sergio?”

“I wish we had a choice in accepting this mission. Yet, we were one of only five available cargo freighters. The need was immediate, so, in a sense, we were drafted. I just don’t want to loose my life, my ship, my career.” Commander Huitzel said in an angry tone.

“Well, it appears we aren’t alone in this challenge.” Said the radar officer.

Commander Huitzel walked over to the screen. He looked into the computer screen, making out the different blips. One of the things he wanted on his freighter was the Aztec military’s Sensor system, much more advanced than civilian grade radar. “Damn, so we aren’t. Hell, I never thought we would be allies with some of these nations.”

Commander Huitzel said, “Alright, let’s make our stances clear, alright. Signal to our escorts to proceed to the coordinates. Open up communications, all frequencies.”

“Communications ready, sir.” Another voice said in the back of the control room.

"Attention all hostile forces, this is the Aztec Cargo Freighter Fleet. The United Socialist Republic of the Aztec National League does not recognize the legality of this blockade. We will deliver our cargo to ViZion unhampered. Any hostile action will not be tolerated."

He then said to the communications officer, “Transmit.”

“Aye, sir.”

Within a few seconds, the transmission would be heard by all. Of course, it would put Aztlán in the middle of the conflict. Yet, he was under orders from the government.

-_-_-_-_-

In the bridge of the SAS Typhoon

The bridge had a low and dark eerie red glow. The entire submarine was ready for battle, and although the emotions of the crew were intense, they waited for what seemed to be an inevitable conflict.

“Captain Marcus, all systems are ready for battle.”

“Good, what’s the status?” Said the Captain.

“Well…it appears as if we are going in.”

“Right, all hands, prepare for battle. Follow the freighters in, reduce speed to ½ full and follow them.

“Yes sir.”

“Let’s hope the fascists don’t feel like battling today.” Said Captain Marcus.

Sutton Naval Base, Credonia 9:36 pm

Orders were coming in from War Headquarters via encrypted flash traffic telegram, the Credonian Eastern Battle Fleet was to get underway to assist in the operations in the Strait of Gibraltar immediately. Fleet Admiral Gerald Rockport read the telegram and drafted a message to all other ships in the fleet.

Subject: New Orders
~Highly Encrypted~

NEW ORDERS, GET UNDERWAY AND PROCEED TO THE STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR BY WAY OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. FLEET WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OFFENSIVE ASSISTANCE. PROCEED ACROSS ATLANTIC AT FLANK SPEED. ADDITIONAL ORDERS TO BE TRANSMITTED AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. OUT.

Sutton Air Force Base 9:36 pm

Under the guise of midnight, 25,000 troops of the 22nd Marine Infantry Division boarded civilian Airbus A380 jumbo jets destined for Vizion. Their mission would be the initial Credonian defense of Vizion within the country to protect it from foreign invasion. The flight would last only 14 hours, but in 14 hours a lot could happen and the troops knew that when they land, they could be coming into what might be an epic war centered around naval power. Only time would tell if cooler heads would prevail and if the trip to Vizion would have been unnecessary. The fate of tens of thousands of people hung in the balance and it was up to Guffingford to prevent the lives of innocent men, women, children, and the brave men and women of the armed forces serving on both sides of enemy lines from being destroyed. President Sutton could not let this happen and he was destined to ensure the peace, safety, and tranquility of all of those within the Mediterranean region for soon, this was would soon become deadly.

Meanwhile

Preparations were being finalized at the base to get the bombers ready for take-off. Everything was moving like clockwork, all under the guise of darkness. Both the bombers and the civilian aircraft would take off at the same time and arrive at their targets in relatively little time. The bombers would take a route north of Vizion to avoid overflying the blockade zone so that no mistake was made that such aircraft posed absolutly no threat to Guffingford and their naval assets currently blocking the Med Sea.

30 minutes after the last of the troops boarded their transport plane, the bombers began their take-off and journey to Vizion

In all: 30 B-s Stealth Bombers, 15 B-1B Strategic Bombers, and 25 B-52 Strategic Bombers took to the sky accompanied by 300 long range fighter aircraft who would cease their escort at the Vizionian border so as to ensure the safety of the bombers.

Western Battle Fleet, Mozambique Channel/Indian Ocean, International Waters

Western Battle Fleet Fleet Admiral John Roberts had been up for hours keeping a look out for enemy ships as he continued leading his main force towards the Red Sea and the Suez Canal where he expected to commence operations should Guffingford fail to come to a peaceful agreement with allied forces. No one was certain what to expect, but Admiral Roberts was assured that the Guffingfordi fleet would be no match for the superior naval power and strategic thinking of the Credonian Chiefs of Staff and the Navy Admirals under his command. There was only a matter of time before the Credonian ships would be face to face, hull to hull with the enemy.

Credonian Owned Naval Base, Somalia, United States of Independent Hitmen (USIH)

Credonian military forces were pulling from all bases in Somalia per the transition from Credonian to IH power progressed. In total, only three Credonian carrier groups remained (40th, 60th, and 71st CG's) and they had recieved orders only a few short hours earlier to run the blockade but do not fire on any ship unless fired upon first.

71st CG Flagship CNS Excelser

"Order our ships to all ahead flank. Load the weapons but do not fire!!! I repeat, do not fire!" ordered Admiral Howard Johnson of the 71st Carrier Group. He was Commanding Officer of the three carrier groups already underway from Somalia.

His orders, enter the Suez Canal. Prior authorization to use it was given by Jarridia in secret consultatons between allied leaders hours before. Their orders were simple. Enter the Suez. Do not fire upon any naval vessel, friend, foe, or neutral alike unless directly fired upon first. They continued moving to the Canal at flank speeds. At this rate, they would reach the canal in just under 24 hours.

Godmodding again, courtesy of Credonia. I'll leave out the details, but when I read "north" of Somalia. I think of a location above said nation. He probably mentioned by sheer accident in all the excitement that his Western Fleet is positioned to the north of Somalia. Oh wait, they're north of Madagascar! Quite a difference.

Chinde, Mozambique:

In the port of Chinde two ships slowly set out. One Maddox class battleship and a Vercetti class frigate. They would both go at full speed, hugging the coast to avoid the Credonian ships. The frigate would of course get there in around half the time of the battleship. The frigate would merely stay and observe the conflict, not taking sides. The battleship would then arrive and do likewise, a little more incentive not to attack.

Official Imperial Statment:

Borman will be sending in two ships to observe the blockade between Yemen and Djibouti. They are there merely to observe and will not be taking sides or doing anything other than observing. Periodically they will be supplied by supply ships. If they are fired on they will return fire, in no other scenario will they fire. Firing on these ships would constitute a decleration of war upon the Bornerifreuic Empire and by alliance the CAD.

"Looks like it's all in Guffingford's hands. If he wishes to fire upon these ships, as I assure you they will not be the first ones to fire, then he will be starting this war by him self. It all comes down to how smart they are over there. Give the orders to prepare to fire.

Haven City, Safehaven2

The meeting started like any other meeting, slowly and casually. It wasn’t the up tight dull setting depicted in movies but a laid back event, almost like a friendly get together. One thing made this meeting stand out though, all the people who controlled Safehaven2 were gathered in the room and that was a rarity in and of itself.

President Mendez was himself grabbing a cup of coffee real quick in the corner before the meeting got itself started up. “Grab me a cup while your at it” Behind the president the head of the Commerce and Trade department, Director Maurice Luchen, stood with a grin on his face somehow fully awake at this early hour.

“Black?” The President asked as he reached for a second cup. “Like always” “I still don’t know how you can drink it so strong.” Still grinning Luchen answered while taking the cup from the President, “I’ve always liked things strong.” He shrugged his shoulders as he sipped the hot coffee a let out a slow murmur implying he approved. He won a chuckle out of the President before moving to secure his seat on “his” chair. The President himself started maneuvering his way across the room to a chair that actually was his, one of the perks of the job was he didn’t have to worry about someone sitting in his seat. Wishing he was still in bed he sat down and nodded to those still standing and chatting signaling that the meeting was ready to begin.

Less than a dozen men and women positioned themselves on a couch a numerous chairs around a large coffee table that was overrun with all manner of drinks. When everyone was seated President Mendez leaned back into his chair and gave the room one final look before proceeding. “Guess its about time to get things started, I’ll let Luchen start things off first with his report.” He nodded to Luchen and Luchen opened up a large manila folder he had set down on the table.

“Alrite, to begin I’m going to pass out a few charts showing exactly how much Havenite money flows thru the Suez and Gibralter. For now this trade has not been cut off and Guffingford assures us that as a neutral, and in fact friendly, nation the blockade will not impede our trade. But the problem is that this blockade affects other nations and those nations WILL act to end it, in short before long both ends of the Med will become modern killing fields and that will end Havenite civilian traffic thru the area.”

Nothing he’d said so far had been much of a surprise, everyone in the room had analysts crunching numbers and predicting the future for them and they had all received similar reports.

“Now ending trade thru the Med is not in anyway a kill shot to our economy, it will cost us billions but that will barely be a blip on the economic radar of Safehaven2 as a whole. The real problem comes in other ways, first of the grand majority of this initial and direct burden will fall on our African colonies which use these trade routes the most and they aren’t in much of a position to handle such a sudden blow. In short their economies will be I recession soon enough.”

“And? If that’s the case we can always help them thru it.” Director Rita butted in. The answer seemed so obvious, there was no need for war or deployments.

“Yes, that would be optimal but the problem is confidence. How confident Havenites are that this won’t spill over and start affecting them? Already the market is wavering with word of nukes being used. People are scared and when that happens the market takes a shit dive straight to the bottom. And they have every reason to be scared. Guffingford is a neighbor and ally, if this war expands to Guffingford itself who’s to say nukes won’t be used again and the effects of that won’t be confined to lines drawn on a map. What if the fighting spills southward from the Red Sea to a point where it’s right next door to our colonies? How many people have relatives living there? This is the second problem, the biggest problem.” This wasn’t something many people hadn't thought of. They thought the downward dip the market had taken the last few days was just temporary, not a warning of what was to come.

“So what are you proposing? Why don’t we try becoming a middle man for negotiations?”

“Others, mainly Iuthia from what we can see have tried, and failed in that sense. No I believe we should join our Guffingfordi friends in this blockade.” He put his hands up to stop anyone cutting in to give him a chance to finish. ”I know this sounds completely contrary to what my speech makes it sound we should do but face it there is going to be a war, there will be fighting in Africa and we should be ready for it. If people see that Havenite ships are there manning the blockade then maybe they will be a little more confident that things won’t be so bad, that trade could be maintained thru the Med. Hell we can even use this to help our economy, start a campaign detailing how this will help our industries such as steel, electronics, the auto industry exc and let people know these companies on the market are going to be receiving plenty more business from the government and maybe consumer confidence will stay strong. We could talk to Guffingford and some others about picking up the slack for lost trade and business. Plus if we are involved we could help see to it that the fighting, or the bulk of it, stays away from our colonies. It’s not full proof but it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting back and watching while everything falls apart over there.”

He had caused a stir. He’d basically proposed that Safehaven get involved in a war that already had gone nuclear and yet was still expanding. This was a war involving nations nearly twice Safehavens size but as he put it what other choice did they have? He had gotten everyone’s attention now, looking around you could tell the wheels were spinning I everyone’s head trying to think off the consequences of what he proposed.

Rita was in a frenzy. She was adamantly against war, partly because it had taken a father and a son away from her. She nearly jumped from her seat as she started yelling at Luchen. “Your fucking insane! You know that? Wha….” “RITA! SIT DOWN!.” As pissed as Rita was President Mendez was even angrier that she had said what she said. “Rita you will continue by showing some respect.”

She nodded her head but was no less angry. She tried to calm her voice down as she continued. “What if they use nukes again? What if they nuke our colonies our worse yet Haven itself? We should ride this one out, we can survive a recession or even a crash but a nuke is another matter.”

“I’ll take this one Luchen.” General Daff was relatively new here. He had just been promoted to head of all the armed forces of Safehaven2 a year back. “While there is the possibility of more nukes being used in this conflict I highly doubt they will be used to nuke each others cities, more likely they will be used in a tactical fashion but if not we have defenses in place. Africa especially was built up not to long back because of threats from Kahta to nuke the area and while Kahta is now destroyed those defenses are still in place. The system isn’t 100% perfect but it is damned good, we don’t have much to fear from a nuke attack. But in any case I can see to it that preparations are put in place in case such a thing happens, also I can put a few more defense sats in the air.”

“What do we have in the area of the Red Sea that can be deployed immediately?” If President Mendez was going to send Haven into a war he wanted to make sure he was ready.

“The third fleet based in Dar Es Salaam could be mobilized and out at sea by the end of the week. There under command of Admiral West, she’s a good officer, she’ll get things done.” Mendez believed him, while there were plenty of women under arms not many made it as high up as she had and those who did sure as hell deserved it. “While most of the navy is currently re organizing with the introduction of the new ADV and the Argentine Galleon the third has nearly finished, while they will be short a few ADV’s we can always transfer those over from the seventh in the Atlantic. We also have a few sub fleets that we could send. I’ll be sending word to CINC Africa Morrel to prepare his defenses in case anyone retaliates against his colonies.”

“Morrel, wasn’t he planning on retiring this year?” Morrel and Mendez were old buddies. They still kept in touch but hadn’t seen each other in years with there jobs keeping them stationed so far apart.

“Ya, he’ll have to put that on hold for a bit. It’s a shame, we all know he deserves it but hopefully this won’t last to long. Other than that were more than ready to go to war if that is your decision though I do ask that if you decide to send the third fleet that you do not inform the world we have decided to join the blockade.”

“So its settled, were going to war. General you of course have my promise on that, this is a military issue and you know best, send out orders to o get the third fleet moving immediately, t I’ll let you go now as I’m sure all of you are going to have more than your share of work to do now.” Mendez sighed as he got up from his chair before Rita had a chance to say something. He hoped, prayed, that he had made the right decision because if he didn’t millions of Havenites could burn in nuclear fire.

It has been decided that Havens military will be sent to join the blockade in the Red Sea region. This has been decided for multiple reasons including the safety of our economy and our people. We ask that you allow our third fleet access to the area and consult us on operations that occur so that we may help participate in this conflict and see to it that it ends quickly and decisively in our favor. In return for our involvement in this conflict we ask that your nation helps pick up the slack on lost trade caused by the blockade and fighting in the area. We hope our nations can cooperate to defeat the menace that forced us to conduct such an act.

Official Imperial Statement Regarding the Escalation of Hostilities and the Possibility of Nuclear Conflict

Freudotopia is aware that ViZion and other nations have begun to prepare for the possibility of nuclear war. While we fervently hope the current hostilities do not escalate to nuclear conflict, we must inform the international community that the threat of a nuclear attack on Freudotopia or any nation in the CAD does not fill us with fear or dread, but readiness and courage.

We realize that irrational actions have been taken by many countries in the name of safeguarding national security. To our eyes, this seems merely a poor deceit intended to mask the mobilization of armies by nations intent on war. We have given up the possibility of diplomacy, and are now fully prepared to fight against any and all aggressors by land, sea, and air.

Freudotopia wishes to make it known that all military and civilian steps have been taken to safeguard Freudotopia in the event of a nuclear war. Command centers have been brought online in secure locations, and both the government and the military will maintain peak operational capacity regardless of any attack on Freudotopia, nuclear or otherwise. Civilian fallout shelters and underground living facilities are in full readiness. These steps have been taken to deter any nuclear attack on Freudotopia. Such an attack will not break our will, nor will it impinge on the Freudotopian Military's ability to defend the Bornerifreudic Empire and the CAD.

Our nuclear weapons are ready to be used against any threat to Freudotopia, and if a threat is deemed to be deserving of nuclear force, Freudotopia will NOT hesitate to use whatever nuclear weapons are required to eliminate said threats.

That being said, we wish to reiterate that a nuclear war is the action of a desperate and hostile nation, and will bring needless destruction to both the CAD and WWA. Therefore, we ask all nations intent on hostile action to consider their options carefully, and realize that nuclear action will benefit no one. Although Freudotopia is prepared for nuclear war, we do not wish this conflict to come to that.

The Warmaster

28-07-2005, 23:59

In light of the preparations taken by Freudotopia and ViZion for nuclear warfare, the Sacred Emperor wishes to remind all involved nations that nuclear warfare is not a method of warfare a sane nation resorts to. All it does is ensure the desperate nation goes out with a bang. No pun intended. Once again he implores all nations to refrain from using their nuclear arsenals to settle this issue.

On the other hand, not to prepare for the possibility of nuclear war would be ridiculously naive, and although a great many crimes can be laid at the feet of the Sacred Emperor, naivete is NOT one of them. He has ordered the entire Kreegan population to enact the Korronis protocol; that is, obtain arms and supplies from the nearest Imperial emergency depot and prepare to move to urban post-apocalypse shelters. ALL anti-strategic weapons have been put on full battle readiness.

We hope it does not come to nuclear war.

imported_ViZion

29-07-2005, 01:35

We wonder why one would not prepare for nuclear war? After all, some nuclear missiles already have gone off, and with threats going left and right about attacks, and with the powers involved, one would, we honestly feel, be stupid not to prepare for, or believe, that there is a very likely chance of nuclear, biological, and/or chemical attacks.

While we, too, hope this does not go to nuclear war, we are faced with a very true reality that there's a large possibility nuclear weapons will be standard issue by the time this war is over.

Thus, we feel it only necessary to safeguard our nation, people, and life. It is why we are creating underground an wilderness full of all the plants, animals, and other lifeforms that we know of. This of our underground network as a noah's arch - except far more people and lifeforms can board... and it's not preparing for a flood of water, but rather a storm of nuclear, chemical, and biological agents.

Official Reply to ViZion by The Lone Alliance.
The lone Alliance takes your statements lightly due to the fact a few of the recent Nuclear explosions were caused by your nation. Also to note, if any nuclear weapon hidden by ViZion is found in our nation, it will be confisicated and its owners interrorgated and Executed. We consider this to be a mild punishment for insigating Terror and threatening pre-Emptive Mutually Assured Destruction, and the fact that a ViZion nuclear operator hiding in our country without premission is a spy. If you wish to avoid this, identify any nuclear weapons within our nation, and we will escort the weapons and their owners out of the country safely. We await your reply.

People, I believe you all are forgetting the big picture here. ViZion is not the only nation that has a key to this machine, and in all honestly, out of the two that do, he is less likely to use it. I, myself, am highly likely to get aggitated and nuke all of you off this earth because you're starting to irritate me. You all spend your time complaining about such and such, and how you don't like this and that, well tough. This world is full of things I don't like, but you have to live with it. If we got what we wanted, none of you would exist. I'm tired of the bickering and arguing, if you have something to hide, and feel guilty then maybe our nukes being in your nations is a good thing (hypothetically speaking of course), if you don't then don't worry, no one will attack you.

Now, I want you to all turn around, and walk away. Leave ViZion alone for a few moments. It isn't his fault no one likes him right now, while his greatest ally basks in the glory of secret identity because noone cares what ViZion's ally is up to. This is the end of the JVNDS discussion, if you have something to say, TG me, if not, then be quiet already. Thank you.

Generic empire

29-07-2005, 06:39

Official Imperial Statement-

Noting the events that have transpired over the past few days, the Empire will take the time to make a brief statement on matters at hand.

The Imperial government notes with horror and dismay the attacks against ViZionarion vessels in ViZionarion territorial waters by vessels supposedly flying Imperial Generian colors, but fervently denies that the attacks were ordered by any Imperial authority, and while we cannot completely rule out the possibility of a rogue captain initiating the attacks, Generian authorities have decided that this is an unlikely possibility. Imperial naval authorities note that there were no scheduled cruises on a path that would bring Imperial vessels into ViZionarion territorial waters, and has released the official cruise path schedules to reinforce the fact that no Imperial vessels were supposed to be in that area at that time. Re-analysis of Imperial satellite imagery also shows that the vessels did not depart Generian ports at all, but in fact left from foreign docks en route to ViZion. The same goes for four fishing trawlers known to have participated in the attacks, displaying that the vessels may very well not have been Generian in origin at all, but rather supplied by host nations to the organization.

Imperial analysts have decided that a far more likely case would be that the attacks were the work of the rogue terrorist organization ‘Terror of the World,’ which Imperial Intelligence Services have uncovered as resurfaced and reenergized in the past few weeks. Our suspicions are further confirmed by a telegram received not more than six days ago reading as follows:

The Terroristic Organization of Terror of the World
We wish to come to you to ask of aid. We are looking for nations who will support us in weapons, cash, and various other things. We also look for a nation who'll host us. If your nation does both, we will strike down your foes, and destroy any who dares attack your nation.

ViZion, Jarridia, and their allies are our largest foes, and currently pose a threat towards the entire CAD. They are our first target.

Will you support us and host us?

Regarding the reported case of vessels flying the Imperial Generian flag, the Empire will remind all involved parties of the relative ease in forging a national standard. Home-made flags are common in many countries, whether for patriotic display or burning, and we feel that it is not a terribly unlikely scenario that one of the terrorist operatives either forged personally or acquired an Imperial standard in another fashion, either through theft or purchase.

Whatever the case may be, we deny that we had anything to do with the attacks, and are deeply saddened that they came at a time when our nations were drawing so close to peace. However, we ask that the ViZion government be reasonable in the matter, and consider the evidence before taking more drastic action. Generia also requests that once local investigations have concluded, Generian experts be allowed access to the wrecks of the vessels to further analyze the nature of the attacks, and confirm whether the origin of the vessels was in fact Generian.

The Imperial Government offers its official condolences to the families of the victims, and is willing to pay reparations for damages done, whether the attack was the work of a Generian captain or a terrorist group. The threat of rogue organizations is an insidious one indeed in this time of crisis, and when an event such as this occurs, one with an objective not to promote peace and unity, but to spread war and desolation, it is important for the governments of the world not to turn on one another in rancor with thoughts of violence, but to sit back and examine the nature of the threat, that we may better combat it as a global force. If we stand strong as one, the terrorists will never find victory, but if we allow ourselves to be divided, we shall surely be crushed.

This brings us to the next item of interest, the recent blockade of the Mediterranean Sea by the nation of Guffingford. The Empire condemns this action in the strongest possible terms, especially noting the hostile nature of the preceding official statement from the Guffingfordi government at a time when peace was so close at hand. This proves to the Empire that the nation of Guffingford has only her own interests at heart, and therefore is a threat to the stability of an already fragile political situation. The Empire strongly urges all of her allies to similarly condemn this action that threatens not only regional stability, but also global economic health.

In the interests of peace, the Empire will continue to ask for and preach moderation and common sense to the leaders of all nations drawn into these unfortunate incidents. To President Maybury and the government of ViZion, along with all of her allies that have declared hostile intentions towards the nation of Generia and her close allies, excluding the nation of Guffingford whose actions we deem rogue and unnecessary, we extend an offer to enter peace negotiations as previously planned in a final effort to divert a tragedy the likes of which the world has never seen.

As a precaution, however, noting that the nations of the world have yet to come off of nuclear mobilization, the Generic Empire will maintain current red alert status for her entire nuclear arsenal and counter-nuclear systems, as well as full wartime mobilization of the Imperial Army. The Gorsevic protocol has been enacted, sending all citizens in urban areas into underground post-nuclear strike survival bunker complexes. The Imperial military has been ordered to prepare for NBC warfare and post-strike recovery situations in the event of a nuclear attack that the Empire may fully and completely retaliate.

29-07-2005, 12:30

Having been requested, through the Brothers at Arms treaty, by imported_ViZion to intervine and help them in this conflict, Emproer William has, after much consilation and considering of the fact, come to this conclusion.

As in all conflict we see that neather side is wholly in the right, yet neather side is in the wrong. We could blame eather side for the escalation of this conflict and uge both sides to come to a diplomatic tenision. There have been threat, and I balive detonations, of nuclear weapons. Considering the size and power of the nation involved should these threats become reality then the resulting war would distroy most of your nations.

Such a occurance cannot be allowed to come about as it would not only affect you but Aust as well and my first priorty is to protect the Empire. Thus i urge all nations to come to the nagotiation table. We offer our own nation as a nutural stage for nagotiations. As allies of both sides we see it as imperitive to keep the peace.

A nuclear war would create a power vacumm that none would prosper from and I am sure you wouldn't like that much.

Emproer William the 4th.

Dar Es Salaam, Havenite Africa

The orders had gone out almost immediately after the meeting had finished. Within seconds the encrypted message found its way to space bouncing off of one of the thousands of satellites that littered the skies before heading back down to earth. That had been a few days ago and since then Rear Admiral Tavia West had moved from living in an apartment to the Third Fleet’s new Flagship, the HNS Ramilles. She didn’t much mind the move, she spent much of her time aboard ships anyway which was her passion. The daughter of a fisherman she had grown up in a small town outside of Tarabulus living next to the sea. Being a fisherman, or women in her case wasn’t much of an option so she’d joined the navy instead. Now after a twenty plus year career at 46 she sat in command of an entire Battle Fleet.

Sitting in the CIC of the massive new Argentine SD killer, Ramilles, the whole seen panned out in front of her. Most of the Third was still in harbor, mobilizing itself. Over a hundred ships choked the military part of the harbor sparing for spots to dock and load up. Tons of supplies were stacked on the docks waiting to be loaded. All manner of things that kept a ship fighting, food, ammunition, parts even fuel for some ships that still needed it. This scene was a replay of what happened every time the Third went out on operations, it was business as usual for everyone in the city. If you didn’t know it you wouldn’t realize the Third wasn’t just going out for a steam around the Indian but to a war zone this time. From West’s view everything looked fine, perfect in fact till she caught sight of some of her sailors loading up an arsenal ship. The missile they were loading was almost normal until you got to the warhead and what that warhead meant was nothing good. West’s skin bristled at the notion she had to bring them along, and maybe even use them.

“Admiral, you have a call, its CINC Morrel” A scrawny ensign bellowed out the news with a voice way to deep for his size. He looked at West expecting some recognition.

“Very good, put him thru…Hello Mike, what can I do for you today?” Admiral West took a step back to keep her conversation private in case anything sensitive had to be discussed.

“Not much, just wondering how soon you’ll be ready to move out?”

“Thursday morning probably, maybe if we hurry up we can shave off a few hours and go tomorrow night.”

“Eh, Haven’s breathing down my neck they want tomorrow morning, if you could shave those hours off and manage tomorrow night I’m pretty sure I could sell them on that.”

“Were trying, we weren’t exactly in a position to go out and duke it out now with the restructuring going on and these new…” West stopped for a second to think of the right word to use.. ””Special” packages were loading on board aren’t helping speed things up. We’ve trained for the something like this but that’s all its been, training and we never really focused on that. No ones thought things would escalate this far.”

“Isn’t that the truth. I wish we didn’t have to load them but we have to be prepared in the event that we need them. Hopefully nobodies stupid enough to start using them, from what I understand were banking on the hope that the other sides smart enough to realize any use of nu... of these special weapons would mean the same would happen to them. I dunno what else to tell you.” Orders had come in to bring along certain missiles equipped with special warheads in case the threats that had been going around were actually fulfilled. Haven was adamantly against nuclear warfare, this would in fact mark the first time in history that Haven had sent out warships armed with them with the intention that they might actually be used in combat. “Haven is going to be putting a few DESATS over your position when you move out just in case.”

“I didn’t know they had any extra”

“They don’t, there stripping them from Usecton. Were all hectic with preparations for the special weapons scenario. We have all our old preparations from the Kahtan situation still in place but the populations grown since then and many of the facilities aren’t at one hundred percent right now.”

“Things still got to be looking good. I thought we were supposed to be one of the best prepared nations for a situation like that.”

“Things aren’t all that good. Were still looking at them getting Hiroshima times two for there bomb if they hit Dar Es Salaam casualty wise.” That drew a few seconds of silence then after what seemed like forever Morrel continued, “Well in other news those ADV’s we promised you are rounding the Cape now, they should be with you by tomorrow night.”

The military was giving West a gift with one hand while forcing her to do something she didn’t want to with the other. “That’s some news I actually want to hear. I can’t wait to test out the Galleons and ADV’s in combat.” West would be making Havenite history, on top of the special weapon first she would be the first to bring the ADV’s and the Argentines into battle if peace wasn’t obtained soon.

“If all the sims are right they should perform beautifully. I’ve got to go now, as you can probably bet I’ve got a stack of paperwork taller than me because of this mess. O one more thing, the specific orders should be coming thru shortly from Haven and if I don’t talk to you between now and when you leave good luck.” The phone clicked down and the dial tone returned. West returned to her seat and started thinking of how she was going to shave those hours off.

“Mam, we have a Flash level communication from Haven coming in.” The same scrawny ensign yelled out again. Morrel wasn’t kidding those orders did come in shortly.

“Confirm and authenticate then bring it to me.”

"President, Aust has offered their country as a host for peace talks. Generia once again is asking for peace. They are willing to come. They also sent intel..." President Maybury cut the COMM officer off. "Yes, yes, I know. I saw the message they sent and all. Iuthia felt it was Terror of the World... now Generia claims it is. However, I am willing to talk peace. Send them the message." he said. "Yes, sir."

President Maybury is willing to accept Aust as a neutral host nation for peace talks. While he is still unsure about Generia, he does know Terror of the World and how they opperate, so he will not rule them out. We will be attending, and President Maybury urges all allies to do the same. The fight, afterall, no longer is so much with Generia, but rather Guffingford, Doomingsland, and their supporters.

Official Imperial Statement Regarding the Peace Conferences Hosted by Aust

Freudotopia strongly applauds the nation of Aust for agreeing to host peace talks between Generia and Freudotopia. Freudotopia also approves of ViZion's the Generic Empire's devotion to a finding a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

For as long as the conferences are held, Freudotopia will maintain only defensive readiness wartime procedures, and will take no offensive action against any nation unless provoked.

As a gesture of good faith, we urge all nations involved in this conflict to similarly withdraw forces to their respective territories, and stand down all offensive military forces. The peace process should continue in an environment of trust and safety, not a hair-trigger powder keg that threatens to destroy all involved countries.

Along these lines, we call upon the nation of Guffingford to cease its naval blockades, and withdraw naval and other forces to its own territorial seas. We bear no anger or resentment towards Guffingford, but we fear that Guffingford's actions may compromise the already fragile peace process.

OOC: Are all nations supposed to send ambassadors to this peace meeting, or just Generia and ViZion? I think all concerned nations should, to avoid loose cannons not bound by their allies' decisions causing a brouhaha.

But, out past relations with Aust can onlyt be summed up as friendly and loyal, in addition to them also having allies on the side opposing ViZion we find them a suitable and able candidate for a neutral nation. As such we too accept Aust as a neutral nation and ground for peace talks. We will be sending an ambassador to these peace talks to assist in saving the world of the much un-needed shed of blood.

The Sacred Emperor stood on the Rostra of the Imperial Forum with several hundred thousand people hanging on his every word, and Cyrius Vua'kre, master of manipulation that he was as head of the priests, could only marvel at the skill with which Emperor Lucifer spoke to his subjects.

"I am going, this very day, to Aust, a nation which has fittingly and rightly requested to host peace talks, which I shall attend to ensure that justice is done! Our Freudian brothers have requested that all our armed forces stand down. Although to fully disarm would be foolish indeed, I have ordered half of our long-range nuclear missiles put on standby instead of active alert! The world is headed for peace, my people, and the inertia of such a thing cannot and will not be turned aside by the machinations of Terror of the World or any such nation or group! Hail to the glory of the gods!" He raised his fists into the air in a gesture of triumph, and the crowd roared. Lucifer descended from the Rostra and motioned slightly. A single movement, and the sea of flesh parted, to allow the delegation headed for Aust to walk down the middle of it to the back of the Forum, where helicopters waited to take them to Typhon International Airport. Lucifer's robes of office flapped slightly in the breeze, and suddenly whirled like a dark animal as the wind from the helicopter blades caught them. He and his guards and attendants boarded their helicopters and lifted off.

Once he was onboard his private jet, with a larger diplomatic jet carrying the other members of the delegation, Lucifer sank back into his comfortable chair as the flight attendant handed him a glass of whiskey and a cigarette. He motioned to her and she pressed a button on a stereo system near the drinks cabinet, and the beautiful strains of "Paradise City" by Guns N Roses, the national anthem, began to roar out from the speakers at a volume that would kill a normal man. Lucifer grinned and took a long drag on his cigarette. The talks might be serious, but nobody said he couldn't have fun on the way there.

Several hours later, over the frigid plains of Antarctica, the pilot opened communications with Aust International Airport and asked for permission to land.

OOC: The centre of Antartica.

Mind if I RP your president arriving?

IC: It was a warm day in Aust when the president arrived, a sweltering 2 degrees. The snow was beginning to thaw into slush for the first time in years, the heatwave was having a effect upon the populance as well and the hospitals where overcrowdered with people suffering with heatstroke.

william had nothing underneath his Royal Robes as he waited patiently for the ViZion presidential plane to touch down. it had been ordered the scenic route, through the Bambinio corrodor, then over the Tanka mountains before soaring in from the north, over the sprawling matropolic that was Aust city, to Aust International Airport.

In the distance the skyscrapers of the City rose like silver birds, with the Imperial palace in the centre 4,000 stroies high. Aust City was home to 2.5 billion people and from here you could balive it.

The plane touched down on the wet tarmac, skidding a little as it came to a halt. william moved a few metres to the left so as to be in line with the door and the Royal Guards, 1,000 of them, marched into place. Cermonial pike in the air.

William was a young man but not unsure of himself, having lost his parent when he was a baby and his twin when he was 14 nothing truely fazed him. he'd been Emproer for 2 years and this was just another diplomatic greeting, the sort he delived every week. Only this time the fate of several nations lay in the balance.

The door slid open and the President of ViZon appeared, william took a step forward, his white robs shinning in the winter sunshine. "Presedent." he said, extending a hand. He spoke perfect English, as he did 4 other languages. "Welcome to Aust. I am sorry about the sweltering heat but it will be a more comftable tempreture inside."

"This is Imperial Eagle to Aust ground control, requesting permission to land, over."

Captain Roland MacLear returned to piloting, his mind only half registering the radio conversation of his navigator, Lt. "Smudge" Sanderson. This diplomatic flight was just as important to him as it was to his passengers, including Emperor Saul Hudson. MacLear had two sons in the FIA, 13th Airborne Division. Both of them had been on active duty the past few weeks, and if Freudotopia went to war, they would be among the first soldiers on the ground in an attack. MacLear was an Air Force pilot, and had been all his adult life, so he knew the risks of combat and had never feared death. However, all that had changed a week ago, when the 13th Airborne had been put on Combat Readiness. MacLear wanted more than anything for this crisis to be over. In that, a middle-class military pilot and the Emperor of all the Freudotopian Imperium shared a common goal on this expedition.

At that moment, the Ruler of the Imperium was sipping vodka from the bottle and listening to his aides brief him on the diplomatic positions of a dozen different nations. This treaty was vitally important. So many nuclear weapons were pointed at the CAD that the slightest aggressive action could turn into the deadliest war in human history. Saul Hudson did not take lightly to nuclear threats, and this peace conference in Aust would be the perfect podium to decry the nations such as Guffingford that endangered everyone because of their unthinkingly aggressive actions. Rattling the saber in a situation so tense, as so many nations were doing, was like baiting an Ismerian tiger: eventually, one will always succeed, but soon after, one will be torn limb from limb. Saul Hudson was determined to prevent those rogue nations from placing the Bornerifreudic Empire at risk. An accord had to be reached, and the sooner the better.

"Your Majesty, the Aust authorities have given permission to land. We're starting our final approach now."

As the plane slowed to a halt, the doors opened and stairs folded down. Lucifer watched from the doorway as the helicopters that carried his guards landed, and the Immortals jumped out, ran to the plane, and formed the required ranks, coming to rigid attention. He walked down the steps, shivering slightly. He had spent a great deal of time in the glacier-bound northlands of the Empire, but this was cold which could not be prepared for. His soldiers were lucky, they had been equipped for the bone-numbing cold, but he had only his robes of office and self-discipline. It would have to be enough. He looked around, shrugged, waited for his aides to disembark as well, then walked off toward the terminal, eager for the warmth and ready for the Austian greeting.

"General, an encrypted message has just been sent to ViZion, telling them what actions will be taken. It is up to you to decided what offensive actions will be taken, but we must do something very drastic. If ViZion is invaded or nuked, Markov will be next on the list."

32 IB-678 Stealth Inter-continental bombers had just been refueled and resupplied. They were now sitting on the tarmac waiting for takeoff clearance.

On a parallel runway, 20 TB-776 Valkeri stealth medium bombers were also perparing for takeoff.

The bombers were indeed loaded with some nuclear munitions, but if all went well, the Contra class smart bombs would do the trick.

The rather large bomber group took off for the straight of Gibraltar traveling at just under mach 2. As they neared the straight they would be joined by two F/A-27 Wasp carrier fighters for added defence.

On the other side of the airbase, 10 CA-980 Albatross heavy cargo planes were being loaded with ground troops, vehicles, and equipment. They were to take off for ViZion at a later time.

The Iron Concordiat stirred ever so slightly after its years of dormancy and turmoil surrounding the death of Coordinator Achilles and the ensuing succession fight. But now with the new coordinator finally chosen Wirraway once again acted as one and turned its gaze outward. Needless to say it was horrified and angered by what it saw. At first many did not believe that war had been brought to CAD, that any would even attempt to do so. As time passed it became evident that this was the case. Something had to be done.

After that point things moved rapidly, orders went out, units began training again, fighters and bombers lifted off, ships began putting to sea again, long silent radar began functioning again, in fact the only thing that didn't have to be started up again was the nulcear arsenal. Slowly but surely and the once massive war machine that had been the Concordiat began to move again. It would be a long road back but at the end of it the attackers of CAD would be laid at the feet of the Wirrawayan Armed Forces.

"Peace." The word could not have been dirtier coming from the mouth of the Great Dark One, who's responsibilities in his nation among other things, were to speak dark and terrible truths about his people's afterlives on a semi-regular basis.

"It would appear so, Lord." admitted one of his Dark Council Members

"Well..." explicatives of dozens of different tongues and cultures swam through his mind as he tried to verbalize what he was feeling at present. "This sucks."

"Agreed lord, but there is an upside." spoke another member. This prompted all at the council and the Dark One himself to turn their hooded gaze upon the outspoken one. "I mean... At least we don't have to worry about nuclear winter now"

"Number 15, you are absolutely right. However, I think you fail to realize one very important aspect."

"And what’s that, my lord?"

"This." The Dark One turned to a fairly rarely used control panel and pressed a button. One of the council members next to 15 found his chair suddenly fall out under him and cause him to fall to a screaming death. "Oh... wait... hang on... there we go." And with that, 15 fell to his own subterranean death. There was a very uncomfortable pause for a few moments.

"My lord, we have two options at this point: We can either send a representative to Aust or we can try to foil it." Said one of the remaining council members, trying to somehow retain anonymity while speaking.

"Er, considering the powers that be in this matter, perhaps discretion would be advised? As in perhaps... not invoking several nuclear wielding powers into turning their eyes on our nation in regards to a problematic influence?" spoke another.

"I oppose this train of thought, Lord. If we are to allow simple atomic catastrophe to get in our way of living, surely we cannot truly try to discern the will of Cthulhu, the Old Ones, and similar deities. What number er..." The arguing council member found himself wondering just what his opponent's number was, as their elected leader worked on a numbering system that they could only conclude was devised by the elder things themselves and therefore nonsensical to mortal followers, "what my fellow colleague suggests borders on anathema with our principals of doing whatever seems the most self-destructive."

The Council murmured with itself for several minutes. After the general murmur failed to produce any words their Dark One spoke.

"I have decided. You, you and you" each time pointing to a council member who made an 'eep!', "shall attend the summit as observers. You will represent our unalligned status to all nations while keeping from alarming the Austians. Being as we don't know what Aust will allow for observator diplomats, do nothing unless allowed to. If you can do anything, work towards making this crisis nuclear-armament free but still volatile. If not, remain on retainer to any nation willing to put up the cash for our mercenary forces."

Wirraway

01-08-2005, 17:43

It was time.

The simple thought echoed through the long corridors and lofty spaces of the Wirrawayan Central Command. Through countless trials and tribulations the massive reinforced concrete monolith that served as the brain for the massive brawn that was Wirraway had stood tall, its broad sides weathering any storm. But now it was facing a storm like no other, a storm that threatened to once and for all engulf the once proud and mighty Concordiat. It was hardly the Concordiat that had laughed and plotted the detsruction of its enemies from the safety of CAD and along with its allies had stood astride the world. Now just a mere shadow of its former might, Wirraway would have rebuild, and fast. This war was not being waged on some far off continent by a contigent of Wirrawayan Marines, it here and now, on the sacred soil of Wirraway. Something had to be done.

The embodiment of this sentiment could be found in the burning eyes of the new leader of the Concordiat, Successor to the Great Achilles and Protector of the people, Coordinator Nuenfeld.

A tall, powerfully built man, his dark brown eyes, black hair and facial features all attested to his pure Dutch ancestry. His windburned and scarred skin broadcast to all his mastery of the art of war. A warrior from birth, Ruud Neunfeld had ascended in the ranks of Concordiat Armed Forces quickly after first proving his leadership skills and fighting prowess in the bloody battles to take Mozambique from TLS and many other subsequent actions. In the turmoil following Achilles death General Nuenfeld been a beacon of stability for the electors in the senate and they flocked to his steely gaze like moths to a flame.

Now, as he strode through the dimly lit halls of the Control Center he seemed constrained by the suit he wore, his rippling muscles stretching the seam to their breaking point. Normally he dressed in his old army fatigues and this was a rare concession given the gravity of the speech.

He strode into the TV studio and sat down behind the carbon fiber desk, the swivel chair creaked as he settled into it. All over the Concordiat billions stared into the screen waiting for the first words from their new Coordinator.

A T.V. tech counted down, 3,2,1 were live

Ruud spoke softly and firmly into the camera, trying to connect with billions of subjects and to give them some measure of hope and stability about the future.

My fellow Wirrawayans and members of the Concordiat I regret to say that I have come to you in our nation’s darkest hour. The years of civil war and anarchy that we have all endured have taken a heavy toll on our great state. Our once powerful military has fallen into neglect and disrepair, our once beautiful lands, homes and cities have transformed into wastelands. Our children run ragged in the streets while we try and eke out an existence. And while we are down, struggling to save ourselves our worst enemies lie in wait at our doorstep.

A lesser nation would despair, give up and seek peace. But we are not a lesser nation, WE ARE THE CONCORDIAT. It has been quite some time since we spoke as one my people, but if there is a time to do it, it is now. Let our enemies feel the wrath and burn of Concordiat Armed Forces once again. Let them think twice about challenging the greatness of CAD. Let us rise up and restore our nation to its former greatness and glory, let our words ring true around to world as we move together as a unified people.

As I speak Wirraway is changing, being molded back into its old self. Millions have already begun work and millions more will join them. I call on you, the people of Wirraway to embrace our reborn nation and use every ounce of strength on your body and every neuron in your mind to bring us back to glory.

We will rise again, do not doubt, and we will not fail.

Ruud’s image snapped off the screen and an almost awed silence rung out around the entire Concordiat. Then suddenly, as if jarred by some unseen force the people of Wirraway responded like no other.

Indian Ocean

It was a magnificent sight, hundreds of ships of the Third Battle Fleet were arrayed for miles around. It had taken hours to get to their current positions from Dar Es Salaam but now that they were there they became one of the most important pieces in a game Haven was playing. A few hundred miles north of Credonia’s Western Fleet and East of Havenite Africa they formed a right angle with Credonia and the colonies. Haven still didn’t want the world knowing they had joined Guffingford and Doomingsland and deploying like this kept things a secret. To outside viewers it would look as if the Third was deployed to stop any of the conflict from spilling southward and into Havens colonies. So in the event war was avoided the Fleet would simply sail home no one looking at Haven as warmongers but at the same time Doomingsland and Guffingford would know Haven had been prepared to help. If war was the case then the Fleet was in position to strike Credonia’s main naval formation in the area. It was a win win situation.

In the event that war was the case the fleet was arrayed out in battle formation. ASW and AWACs perimeters were out in force with the usual triple tiered ASW perimeter in place. The new ADV’s were placed in the center against the wishes of many officers. It would be the first time they were used in combat so know one really new how to best use them. The ADV’s wouldn’t be alone. The center was crowded with supply and auxillary ships, carriers, arsenal ships and the new massive HNS Ramilles. The Ramilles’ guns were a key part of the planning of the upcoming battle.

OOC: Credonia could you give me a basic outline of what you have and their formation? Doesn’t have to be exact as I wouldn’t know every detail but I’d have a pretty accurate read from RORSAT’s and other sources.

IC:
As the bomber group neared the Guffingford blockade at the straight of Gibraltar, they dropped to an altitude of 12,000 feet and slowed to mach .5.

The 32 IB-678 Stealth Inter-continental bombers fell into a delta-like formation followed closely by the 20 TB-776 Valkeri stealth medium bombers.

They waited to see Guffingford's ships on RADAR. The payloads were ready for delivery: between all of the aircraft, 30,400,000 pounds of JDAMs were to be dropped on the blockade between two bombing runs.

Guffingford's ships began to appear on RADAR. The bomb doors opened and the onboard computer chose targets for each smart bomb. The aircraft released their payloads simultaneously. For a little over 30 seconds, hell rained down upon the Guffingford warships. Cameras onboard the planes took pictures of the damage below. The pictures were automatically sent to High Command.

The bomber group increased speed and came around for another run, this time unloading the last of their payloads.

Their job was complete. They sped past the straight towards ViZion. If all went as planned, they would resupply, at an airbase in ViZion and then engage Guffingford's other blockade at the Red Sea.

The fourth and fifth carrier fleets were still far away from their destinations. Their job would be to take care of the remnants of each blockade.
