Declaration of War on Mengistua
Quezadria
02-09-2005, 03:39
Due to the concessions of Mengistua and their attempts to enslave the Arab population within their country to the Western interests, as well as their nature based on secularist Marxist-Leninist thought and treachery to Ba'thism, the Socialist Arab Republic of Quezadria today makes a declaration of war on Mengistua. We will give Mengistua one hour to surrender before 500,000 troops cross the border, Our military is far bigger and our country far bigger than Mengistua and we know that if they think about it, they will surrender before the end of the hour.
Allahu Akbar

Emperor Keller agrees with Emperor Kea. Quezadria must explain itself of Nebarri Prime will shield Mengistua from attack and if needed attack Quezadria itself.

The traitors in Mengistua have forced atheism on their people in addition they have also squandered the resources of the country, they claim Socialist democracy, but we see it more as a kleptocracy. The Arab population which makes up a majority of Mengistua has been forced into poverty and now their cheap labour is being used by Mengistua to negotiate for foreign business investment. We shall not stand idly as the leader of the Arab world and watch our backyard be turned into a poor sweatshop because a dictator wants to make a few million dinar.

"We refuse surrender, we are based on Marxism-Leninism and Islamic law, we are perfectly within the sphere of Pan-Arabism and Islam. We fit within the guidelines set by the United Arab States and we know the rest of our region will defend us in this war, should it come to that. You are a traitor to Pan-Arabism and to Islam."- Haile Siad al-Bashar
OOC: What is this? I am in your region Q. Once Karuchea comes online he will settle this, he is our delegate and founder and will defend us.
Despite our strong disapproval of Communism and Marxism-Leninism, we agree that Mengistua is not disobeying Pan-Arabism and Islam. SkyCapt will however, stay neutral, as both nations are Islamic, and SkyCapt is a Christian nation. Sides cannot be taken by SkyCapt.

Emperor Keller, we regret your stance, however, we suggest that even if you disagree, that you not intervene in this war. This is a war about Islam and Arabism.

OOC: Karuchea will save you? Ha! We've all sat under his shadow long enough, he didn't even lift a finger or send any forces to help Arabanistan in the war, he only threatened to. Karuchea is not a leader and has never fought when it was time to, he has only ordered us to fight for him while he remains our delegate. All of the other United Arab States' nations will agree with me on these points.
Due to the concessions of Mengistua and their attempts to enslave the Arab population within their country to the Western interests, as well as their nature based on secularist Marxist-Leninist thought and treachery to Ba'thism, the Socialist Arab Republic of Quezadria today makes a declaration of war on Mengistua.

Official Response
From: Animarnia State Department.
To: Saddam Aflaq, President of the Socialist Arab Republic of Quezadria
Animarnia Strongly disagrees with what appears to be an unsanctioned war against The Democratic Republic of Mengistua; Mengistua is neither an ally nor protectorate of Animarnia thus we clearly view this as an internal Arab matter and will take no side or action. This partly due to our own internal matters at the current time however suggests that you first attempt Diplomacy to solve your issues before resorting to open war.

IC: This act of aggression is not tolerated. According to the military pact of the United Arab States, any act of aggression against a pact member is considered a declaration of war on the United Arab States as a whole, this pact does NOT extend to if one of us should invade someone. So we consider this a declaration of war on Prachanda, we will not stand for the two-thirds deal. We are now sending 300,000 troops into the portion of Mengistua that remains.

Saddam Aflaq, may I ask why you have done this? I thought that your plan was to liberate the Arabs in Mengistua, however seeing as you have accepted this deal not only have you put Mengistua citizens in a position that they can barely scrape a living, taking their oil and copper power leaving them with only the steel industry, meaning you are leaving 1/3 of the population in Mengistua in a poor state hurting them signifigantly. You have also shown that in truth you do not care about liberating the Arabs for if you did, the argument would have been completely different, because of that I, as the representative of Karaska, am withdrawing my support until further notice. If you would be so kind as to reply.

From: Home Secretary Benton
To: Quezadria
Animarnia views your belligerence of Mengistua as nothing short of Imperialism and illegitimate seizure of land, which you have virtually, blackmailed out of the Mengistua by threatening use of overwhelming force against a much smaller nation than yourselves. Furthermore you have provided us with no evidence that the Mengistua Government has indeed oppressed the Arab minority within its nation. We officially change our position and Deem your nation hostile towards Animarnia while this stops short of a declaration of war any Military ships, aircraft of vehicles belonging to Quezadria in our Terrotory will be perceived as a viable threat, targeted and eliminated.

OOC: Wow, do I even have one nation on my side?
EDIT: I guess I do, yay.
IC: Our nation was forced to compromise. Our nation may be large, but it is a rather poor nation and one of peace. We were threatened with two options. The first was to accept the 2/3 of Mengistua that was offered to us and attempt to fund insurgency within the other third, or we could accept the second option which was invade the country and get into a larger war where millions of people could die due to the Western defence of Mengistua. We decided the first was a better, more realistic option and one that would cause as few deaths as possible. I believe now that we chose the wrong course and have stepped into an even bigger war than the one we were first presented with. However, we cannot turn back now, our focus is on the defence of Quezadria and the 2/3 of Mengistua we now occupy. Once this war is over, hopefully Mengistua will be reunified as an Arabic, non-Marxist nation and our economies and people can grow together in the aftermath. We took the choice which appeared correct at the time.

Phriykui Linoy Li Esis has these suggestions for your future success. Seeing as you are a selfish despot we have determinned that you are in fact not a muslim and are in fact trying to drag them into a war for several machiavellian purposes. It is Phriykui Linoy Li Esis's suggestion that you legitimately obey the laws of Jihad and the Arab States as part of a propoganda campaign in your favour. Many despots through history have fell into the false imperialist hope trap and realised that the only thing certain about a military campaign is the politics.
However we completely disagree.
The crystal clear thinkers of Phriykui Linoy Li Esis have deemed that god does not exist and asks all religious people, muslims in particular, to stop believing in their religion.
They have also deemed totalitarianism as illogical and evil, if you must be a criminal at the very least have some sort of government structure that allows for economic growth. So in general the people of Phriykui Linoy Li Esis kindly asks that the government of Quezadria prosecute themselves for the crimes they have committed, preferably resulting in death by extreme torture.

Why stop with 2/3 of the country. It seems to us at least that your nation could provide much better protection, and potentially a better economic situation since you now control most of thier resources. As it stands the nation will be living with scraps, and it would be a disservice to their populace to let them live in such conditions. We hardly doubt that your nation would have any trouble taking it anyway.

Quezadria officially recognizes this as the real representative of Mengistua. In response to the calls from the real government of Mengistua to aid in the liberation of the rest of their homeland, we are sending 200,000 of the 500,000 troops in Mengistua to seize Mugabeton and Barre City. We hope our allies will back us in this response.

Also, Mengistua would technically have whatever part of it's very small armed forces were loyal to the Arab faction. So, in reality probably 500,000 troops as whole. Also note to Mengistua that I have sent you a telegram and you need to look at it.

Subject: DRM and FRAM
The Remarkably Sane Dominion of Juumanistra wishes to express its abject disgust with your gratuitous land grab and its condemnation of the expansionist and self-aggrandizing regime of Saddam Aflaq for its disregard of the territorial integrity of Mengistua first by threatening to invade, then setting up this little “Free Arab Republic” fiefdom out of the concession that the legitimate Mengistuan government gave you to keep itself in existence, and now you opt to send your tanks across the border anyway?. The Remarkably Sane Dominion resoundingly rejects the legitimacy of the Arab Republic of Mengistua and recognizes the Democratic Republic of Mengistua as the rightful sovereign of the territory in question, as well we would like to put Quezadria on notice: your continued aggression shall no longer be tolerated, as the Juumanistran military shall be joining the emerging coalition of nations attempting to right this wrong.
*=*=*=*
To: Haile Siad al-Bashar
From: Eric Allen, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Major General Scott Emerson, Special Operations Command
Subject: Foreign assistance in light of Quezardia's aggression
We extend our deepest regrets to the Democratic Republic in the wake of Quazedria's aggression and the government's coercion into the forfeiture of two-thirds of its own sovereign territory and now your forced expulsion from your own nation. Juumanistra is, as we speak, commencing the requisite mobilization to help in the liberation of the whole of the Democratic Republic's sovereign territory. In the interim, however, Juumanistran Special Operations Command is capable of providing massive quantities of arms for an insurgent campaign, as well as some special forces troops, to assist in said insurgency. We need only know where to send the weapons and to whom they should be delivered.
*=*=*=*
The preparations proceeded quietly at first; essential combat personnel recalled and shuffled to primary staging bases, key reserve elements mobilized, readying of aircraft and ships for deployment. The buzz was, by-and-large, low-key, but it continued to apace, as the Juumanistran war machine lurched out of idle and into gear in preparation of offensive operations.

Al Khals
02-09-2005, 07:32
President Qottar slouched in his comfortable quarters within the Palace of Democracy in his hometown of Tkrat, digesting the events of the day. He had overseen the execution of a dozen old friends and comrades besides whom he'd so recently fought against the Sultan, and sent a score further of them to imprisonment in medieval conditions.
His revolution and his presidency at the centre of the new Al Khali Jamahiriya seemed secure for another few days, at least, and it was time to consider the outside world that the eccentric Sultan had so long ignored. The Quesadria-Mengistua conflict was initially the most interesting of current events. These were nations of a collective not entirely far removed in structure from his own state, and they were all small, poor, or reckless enough that he might some day position himself at the centre of their world, too, he mused. Omar Qottar unbuckled his belt and let out his significant belly just a little as he settled down to consider the state of things.
Should Al Khals take sides and deliver decisive support to one or the other? Could he instead play the intermediary?
Much as the President wanted to see his glorious armies siding with Quezadria to roll-back the combined might of all those likely to react, thus cementing his place as masterful warlord and the Arab world's mightiest lion, it seemed first unwise to wreck said world in the process, and second... well, he hadn't inherited anything like a viable deploment capability with the armed forces of the introspective Sultanate that his revolution crushed. No, Al Khals wasn't ready to storm in and build its own ideal, but it would be best to avoid making an international point of this fact so soon after his rise to power. Al Khals would side with the wronged party, Mengistua, and with the apparently likely support of Karuchea and Prachanda would take-part in a great victory for true Pan-Arabic unity.
Al Haqiqa Al Khals Network Television
President Omar Qottar appeared in full military uniform, flanked by Defence Minister Fariq Asim Abdelal and the totally unknown form of KSU Commandant Amid Sani Amir. The heavily-built successor to the vanquished Sultan of Al Khals and chief architect of the new state of the masses was seated in a rather elaborate throne taken from one of the Sultan's many palaces, and read slowly but firmly from a number of papers clutched in his left hand.
Qottar declared Quezadria's invasion a dangerous distraction in the progess of Pan-Arabism, and President Aflaq's puppet United Arab Republic a thorn in the paw of liberty.
Al Jamahiriya Al Khals, he said, stood by the right-thinking government and masses of Mengistua, and (though he was lying in this) he announced that Al Khali special forces were already amongst the (perhaps equally fictitious), "vast liberation armies forming in the streets of Mengistua". Clearly, the President's address was aimed as much at his own countrymen as at the international community.
Still, Qottar went on to promise that, "the oil-fields of Al Khals will be opened to the righteous Arab revolutionary states engaged in the great battles to come in the liberation of Mengistua" before a number of religious and revolutionary salutations, a cheesy rendition of the national anthem via a cheap synthesiser, and a horizontal wipe to stock footage of Al Khali soldiers on parade with captions boasting of the twenty-million-strong size of the revolutionary armed forces. And please, no close scrutiny of the grainy footage as might reveal that, yes, those are M48 medium tanks and M1 Garand rifles.
(OOC: A lot of bluster from Al Khals, then! Al Khals, so you know, is freshly out of a revolution that overthrew an eccentric Sultan who left the nation a shambles, but it is large (3.7bln citizens) and resource-rich (1.7trillion barrels-worth of crude known, more suspected), and the President, Omar Qottar, has a mighty high opinion of himself. He hopes to ingratiate himself to the Arab world in general by appearing to support the actions of others in rolling-back the disruptive invasion. Though the Jamahiriya has massive armed forces and the potential to be rich, it is years away from shaking-off the legacy of a lifetime's neglect, and can't actually send significant forces far beyond its own borders.)
OOC: just so you know my nation has a military that could take on 500K troops and not to mention that based on NSEconomy you still have 3 times his military budget (with 500K troops he cant have much in the way of ships or tanks. my nation has about 5 Trillion in the defence budget, Quezadria has about 50 billion...
OOC:
That would be assuming his 500,000 man invasion force was just infantry, which is just stupid. Anyway, if used right, these 500,000 troops can whoop anyone's ass...if rp'd correctly.
Karuchea
02-09-2005, 21:00
Calling into effect the United Arab States' military pact, Karuchea prepared for the liberation of occupied Mengistua. 1 Million troops would be sent in the first attack, General Omar with control of 900,000 troops supplied by the Unified Navy of the United Arab States and with full support from the Unified Airforce of the United Arab States would launch the invasion at dawn. Meanwhile, the Karuchean Arab Airforce began preparations for the mass-bombing campaign on Quezadria.
OOC: Please note that General Zaki Omar is the lead general of the UAS unified forces and when RPing all UAS states should use him as the overall commander of these forces, which are under joint UAS control as well as use the commander of their own individual divisions which of course are subject to the whim of the individual nation. I will await Prachanda's move before continuing.

Official Statement from the President of the United States of Credonia
As President of the United States of Credonia, and acting upon the foreign policies enacted by myself and authorized by the Credonian Continental Congress, I condemn the actions taken against the nation of Mengistua as they were bullied into giving up land to appease an aggressor who has NO RIGHT to demand them to stop acts that are in no contradiction to international laws within their own borders. Such actions against Mengistua are only seen by Credonia and the international community as an act of imperialism and aggression and must not be left uncheck or avoided. Credonia, a nation of peace and stern and harsh action has no choice but to act upon its moral duties and protect Mengistua from this unchecked act of imperialism, so I present this ultimatum: The nation of Quezadria has exactly 24 hours to return the occupied territory and its control back over to Mengistua or Credonia with its 8 million man standing army will be forced to take certain hostile actions against it and return the land by force. You have been warned. I suggest you heed the warning and do so if you do not wish to be invaded and occupied for an indefinite period of time.
Signed,

Well this is very rapidly turning into a game of Top Trumps. Everyone just turns up and declares the size of their armed forces, sending millions of troops into battle without bothering to worry about niceties like feeding them.
You can't just click your fingers and deploy millions of troops. A rapid reaction force of a few thousand maybe, but not millions. That's a few thousand infantry, by the way, with light vehicles. If you want to move tanks into theatre the only way to move significant numbers is by ship, which will at best take weeks, possibly even months.
Just think before committing millions of troops. There's probably a sticky about logistics, go look for it.

To whom it may concern,
The People's Republic has watched with growing concern as your neighbours make threats of agression against your nation. We are willing to deploy a pair of Aerial Battle Forces to your nation in an effort to deter your enemies from taking action, and to aid in your defence should war occur.
Our forces have been on a heightened state of alert due to the escalating tensions, and will be ready to deploy within hours of recieving permission from your Government. We can only hope that this will not be too late.

It has been noted by the people of Kudlastan that unwanted foreign agressors with imperialistic ambitions are flocking to the defence of the estranged nation of Menguista. The government of Kudlastan would like to announce its backing of Quazadria and its allies. Although a young and growing nation, we are delighted to send the following to aid in the effort:
5,000 tonnes of wheat
3 mobile carrier pigeon reconnaisance units
the 3rd river flotilla (armed scout motorboats)
2,000 elite officers of the Department of Justice, experienced from domestic actions at keeping the peace in all costs by enforcing martial law and neutralising dissidents and potential threats by all means possible. They will be dispatched to the newly independent Free Arab Republic of Menguista in order to neutralise insurgents and mercilessly crush any support for the former regime, thus freeing up extra troops for the battle that is to come.
The government of Kudlastan hopes this gesture will be appreciated and accepted in the spirit in which it was offered, and that the outsiders are shown their intervention is not welcome in Quazadria's affairs.

Re: Quezadria/Mengistua War
The Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia stands with our friends in the United States of Credonia. Mengistua was wrongly attacked by a warmongering imperialist nation whose only motivation and justification for this flagrant violation of national sovereignty, an act completely contradictory to the conduct of responsible nations. Thus, we strongly condemn the actions of Quezadria in their unjustified imperialist domination of Mengistua. A full embargo has been levied against Quezadria, and we encourage all other nations who oppose Quezadria to implement similar sanctions.

We have noted the domination of nearly your entire country by an imperialist nation. We feel that you deserve some support in resisting Quezadria's warmongering and imperialism. Therefore, we are organizing a SOLE [Special Operations Liasion Element] of Special Forces soldiers and HCIA agents to rendezvous with your principal leaders, and to provide your forces with the money, arms, and training necessary to wage a guerrilla war against your occupiers to bleed them dry. With our help, you can turn this into a Vietnam for them, and convince them to withdraw their troops. More details will be forthcoming.

From: The Free Arab Republic of Mengistua's Prime Minister Ibrahim to all nations offering aid against the resistance. "We have been invaded by the nation of Karuchea in an attempt to reimpose the Haile-regimes dictatorship. We currently are accepting all help. However, our forces are incredibly weak due to the revolution and mainly depend on Quezadria for defence. We can report that Karuchea has set up bases just across the border on the Mengistuan side of the Prachanda-Mengistuan border in a desert region we have not been able to reimpose order upon. We request all help be sent to destroy that base before they launch an assault that could take our country down.
*secret message from the Resistance to all friendly forces fighting for Liberation*
We are conducting insurgent operations against the current regime with Karuchea's help, our main base of operations is centred in Prachanda and their government is aiding our efforts. We request all aid be sent there. Even better than aid would be the sending of forces to aid Karuchea in Liberation.

The HCIA had experience with operations such as this, and immediately began funneling considerable funds into the arming of the Mengistuan insurgency forces. $825 million had been poured into a shipment of enough guns, grenades, RPGs, and supplies to last an insurgency for years. Provided the weapons were used wisely, which would likely be the case after the SOLE team had had time to train the rebels, they would cause the invaders hell.

Halberdgardia had secured the funds and the weapons all right. But it would take Leafanistani Assistance to get it to them.
Unmanned aircraft flew quietly below the RADAR line toward Mengistua. They noticed the blue-green flares of the SOLE team and the computers turned toward it. Quickly, they rose a bit higher, just scraping the RADAR line, and dropped dozens of crates. Their parachutes, black on black against the sky went unoticed. The aircraft's vauge drone faded away quickly. Soon all the weapons the rebels needed had arrived. The Unmanned aircraft rushed toward their airbase, fleeing the country. Only the SOLE team and the rebels had noticed anything.

Arabanistan will only get involved if we learn more about why Quedizara tells us the reason's for their invasion and what Mengistua did wrong to the Arab people.
Arabanistan is a Ba'athist one party nation, like that of RL Syria.

IMAF's newest secret weapon, or in this case, transport unit, was floating in "almost low Earth Orbit" over an ocean near a dropzone, where they would assist rebel forces, once they had orders.
IMS-1, an IMAF Operated Sultan-class Stealth Blimp drifted, all but invisable to radar. A pair of Su-82's were in the area earlier, not actually near the vessel, but just around incase something happened in a tense area.
The 20 man team, a SCO (Security and Command Operation's) Special Forces unit, would, after the blimp dropped down, probably in the early morning hours, parachute into the countryside and set up an LZ for supplies and possibly more people to be brought in over the next few days.

Quedizara gave me troops plus they are an Arab nation and a Ba'athist state.
On the other hand, Krachuea is also Arab and Ba'athist yet they are with you and Hal in supporting the rebels.
Im a member of the United Arab States region, with Krachuea and Arabanistan will ONLY act in the best way to advance Arab unification.
I have now idea if Mengistua was invaded for anti arab actions.
Yet you and McKagan were my allies in the Willink war and saved my nation from defeat, the Willink war was the FIRST war I RPed in NS that I WON and came out of alive!
Saharistan etc... all ended up under occupation.

OOC: As best I can tell, Quezadria declared war on Mengistua, and Mengistua, seeking to avoid bloodshed, surrendered. Quezadria then proceeded to claim 2/3rds of Mengistua's territory as one of the terms of the surrender. It was just an excuse for Quezadria to imperialize, IMO.

"Yes sir, We'll do that sir."
"What's that?"
The Officer piloting the blimp turned in his seat, or started to, before turning back to the console and locking the "wheel" and thrust units in place. He then finished what he started, and turned to look at the Mission Commander, a 1st Lieutenant who was among the only 3 people in the command center.
"We've got our orders. 'Arizona phoned in, drop down to parachute level, we've got 3 hours to deploy our stuff before the sun comes up in a place called.... Prachanda? Anyway, I'm going back to get the Marines ready."
The pilot turned back around, took the vessel off it's lock, and put it at a small angle. After a few seconds he adjusted the electro-kinetic engines and had the ship headed towards it's dropzone.
While this was happening, the Lieutenant had assembled the 20 Marines in the hallway outside the lock-out chamber, and had the cargobay doors on standby.
30 Minutes Later
"3...2...1..."
The doors for the cargobay opened, and the load containing P90 SMG's and disposable Anti-Tank munitions dropped towards earth.
20 seconds later, the 20 man team of Marines excited and headed in behind.
After opening their chutes, they drifted to Earth.
2nd Lieutenant Miller was the team leader, and by no coincidence the first of the team members on the ground. He had a clean landing, as did the other 4 team members that came down in his group. Group's Bravo and Charlie both landed in less friendly terrain, but were down ok. Group Delta crashed into a hillside, making their time to checking in a bit longer, but they were ok, nonetheless.
Upon Miller's visual, all of the cargo was in the immediate area, although it would take some time to recieve it, everything was on the ground, accounted for, and in one piece.
IMS-1 reached it's crusing altitude and returned to it's station, where it would remain for a few more days before returning to the secret IMAF Omega Site in the McKagan Deserts.

Quezadrian Parliament officially declares war on the Arab Republic of Karuchea for their aerial assaults on Quezadria and war upon Arabanistan for it's Pro-Terrorist sentiments. The United Arab States has been corrupted and torn by Karuchea's chauvanistic stance that it must be the only leader of the Arab world. We wish full, equal unity that the UAS cannot bring. We invite all UAS and Arab nations into the United Arab Republic. However, our official policy now is the sinking of all UAS ships and destruction of all UAS planes.

The rest opened fire as the planes approached the border. The red alert sounded and Karuchean 17 SU's and MIG's began to take off to fight the Quezadrian planes who made it across the border. Commander Zaki watched carefully as the planes took off. War was officially upon them. He then ordered all Karuchean troops to fortify their base in the inside of the Mengistuan base and ordered a further 200,000 troops to prepare for war with Quezadria.

Al Jamahiriya Al Khals, having through President Omar Qottar earlier declared official condemnation of Quezadria for derailing the cause of Pan-Arabism and socialism, took a second, more practical step towards involvement in the on-going disputes.
Leader of the dominant Al Khals Kadira Republic faction within the popular congresses that constitute the Jamahiriya's administration (ooc: Arabanistan, it would be fair to say that if there's a Libya-like government involved here, it is that of Al Khals!) Habib Kilany appeared on the Al Haqiqa Al Khals network to announce that Al Khals would begin to deliver finished petroleum products in the ammount of one million barrels per day to Karuchea and Prachanda in order to feed the liberation struggle against Quezadria and the cohorts of that nation's counter-productive leadership.
This would be done, said Kilany, the de facto Prime Minister, at no expense to those nations and warriors fighting that struggle, and would continue until the infidels were vanquished. It would be done so that these brave and just fighters could think less of the need to produce or purchase fuels and more on the righteousness and strategy of ultimate victory.
Al Khali soldiers would only be sent, Kilany added, if the situation became, "sufficiently serious" or if they were urgently requested by involved parties, which was probably a relief to the horribly under-paid, under-equipped, and poorly trained members of the gigantic Al Khali armed forces.
As the Al Khali flag was wiped into shot in a stroke of cheap and amatureish editing, a terribly over-dramatic voice boomed a reminder to all righteous combatants, "On the day of victory, no man is tired!"

arrivel in 7 NS days (OOC:7 RL Hours)
OOC: I hope that you don't mind me saying, but I don't think that the time-frame is entirely in your control. If, seven hours after your post, the involved parties aren't yet back on-line and posting, and your troops suddenly arrive in their nations, you may be guilty of godmodding. They arrive when they arrive, and that's that.
I am a little bit confused about why you're spending tens of millions of dollars to send forces to a conflict-zone in which you have no evident interest, but perhaps this will become obvious to me in time? Ho hum.

TO: Chief of Defence Staff Baaskin, Interrogator-General von Gibbonstein, Supremely Benevolent Hereditary President Kudla
Superior Sirs, Your Excellency,
The Justice Ministry security detachment has now been deployed in full to the Free Arab Republic, along with secret police and interrogation specialists. Operations are proceeding, and several small consignments of AK type small arms and RPG launchers have been seized from private homes and businesses. Those arrested in connection have been interred in our established base camp, where persuasive techniques have revealed to us that the rogue Menguistan insurgency is being supported by foreign special forces, some of whom may be in the region. Patrols are being stepped up to hunt down this suspected small number of troops. If discovered, they are not thought to be difficult to neutralise.
The newly-arrived scout division is patrolling major rivers, and interrupting any possible rebel arms transport by boat, whilst Justice Ministry detachments on major roads are instructed to stop and search all vehicles. In addition we would like to request further reinforcements, in order to bolster our presence. A force of light attack vehicles such as armoured cars would be ideal, in order to give our forces a rapid strike capablility, as would helicopter support.

Yeah, that whole scale doesn't work unless it's like a storefront order or something where there isn't any RP'ing involved between point A and point B.
In RP's, in 7 RL hours several IC months could pass.

With the news that Karuchea had declared war, the Venona's patrolling recieved their go-codes to mount airstrikes against the Karuchean forces. The eight Venona's currently on station dropped to a mere 150 metres above the ground and began proceeding to the troop concentrations at just over the speed of sound.
Just under 350km before they reached the target, the Venona's began firing Stand Off Anti-Radiation Missiles (SOARM) in an attempt to eliminate any SAM sites that may be guarding the troops, as well as any AEW aircraft that may be in the area.
Each Venona is armed with thirty 500lb bombs, thirty Mk-20 Rockeye anti-armour cluster bombs, ten CBU-75 anti-personel cluster bombs, six SOARMs and ten Cobra AAMs for self defence.

The SAM Batteries ceased fire and the SU-25s and MiG 33s swarmed across the border at the remaining MIGs of Quezadria, they opened fire. Commander Zaki Omar ordered the United Arab States troops in Mengistua to begin marching towards Barre City and ordered all available aircraft carriers to begin route to Mengistua from all UAS bases. The final order of the day was for 5 TU-160s to take flight behind the SU-25s and MIG-33s and begin bombing campaigns against Quezadria's airbases.
Quezadria
05-09-2005, 19:09
3 MIG 29's had gone down before the other 20 began falling out of range, 1 further went down upon retreat. At that point they saw several SU 25's and MIG 33's and fell back to a point completely out of range of the SAM sites, losing 2 on that retreat. They then began engagement with the Air Force of Karuchea. President Saddam Aflaq orders the 500,000 troops in Mengistua to prepare a line outside of Mugabeton and Barre City and protect those cities and the oil fields close to Quezadria.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 19:15
Su-25s and MiG-33s, 17 in all, engaged the remaining 14 MiG-29s. Two Su-25s went down to MiG-29 forces as the flanks of MiG-33s began to open fire. As they did Commander Zaki Omar commanded the 200,000 forces ready to invade Quezadria to pull back from their assaults and turn to invade Mengistua, going through the Karuchean side of the border, behind Mugabeton and Barre City and straight into the oil fields. He then ordered special forces to make runs at disabling the oil pipelines temporarily.
Quezadria
05-09-2005, 19:21
President Saddam ordered a complete retreat of all forces in the air, the MIG 29's began their retreat, losing 4 more as they returned to their airbase. Saddam then began orders to use the oil fields in Mengistua as a wall of fire when the Karuchean forces arrived there.
OOC: Someone informed me that my budget is extremely lower than I thought I was pretty much sacrificing my entire airforce. So, I have 10 planes left down in the airbase in Quezadria with a further 2 planes in Mengistua herself.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 19:25
The 15 Su-25s and MiG-33s fell back and awaited the 5 Tu-160s, they went into a position defending the Tu-160s and began their run at the Quezadrian airbase, preparing to bomb it and take out the remaining airforce. Meanwhile, the special forces parachuted into the oilfields, preparing to sabotage the Quezadrian plans.
Quezadria
05-09-2005, 19:27
the remaining 10 MIG 29's were ordered to immediately turn back from the airfield and engage the Karuchean forces, focusing the attacks on the TU 160's.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 19:32
Commander Zaki Omar laughed as he knew the war was coming to an end. He ordered the Air Force to give Quezadria's MiG-29s clear shots at the Tu-160s knowing that production could make those up by the end of the war, besides, the Tu-16s could take over the duties of the 160s until that time, especially since they would be flying unopposed. The goal was to trade the Tu-160s for the remaining airforce of Quezadria. It was a risk he knew would work out in the long run. T-72 tanks accompanied by several T-98s and 200,000 infantry began their march into Mengistua's oil fields.
Quezadria
05-09-2005, 19:36
OOC: I am willing to accept that deal actually, it is probably the best I am going to get right now. I will no longer do this blitzkrieg of immediate post-counter post since it so far has brought nothing but failure and over-sight on my part as looking back and seeing that I have overlooked and over-estimated in every encounter in this war. So, expect my next post to appear later, and by later I mean in a few hours.
IC: President Saddam ordered the execution of all Air Force commanders and began preparations for bringing the troops in Quezadria fully based on Anti-Air assaults of Karuchean planes and bombers.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 19:43
OOC: Right, well, don't worry about it. It took me a decent bit of time to get good at quick reading and the, as you called it, "blitzkrieg" post war. BTW, just as a note, I have discussed it with Prachanda over telegram and he will have official control of the UAS troops in Mengistua, all 900,000 of them with me having a veto control and I will have full control over all of my troops (obviously) going into the oil fields, they rank in at 200,000.
A fleet of helicopters rotored near-silently towards the outskirts of Prachanda. Three MH-53M Pave Low IVs, fitted with infrared engine exhaust suppressors for Special Ops work, set down in an opening on the outskirts of Prachanda, not too far from the city itself. 100 SOF personnel and 20 HCIA agents disembarked, and headed for the city under the cover of night to rendezvous with the rebel leadership.

"Contact, forward."
The PFC who was tasked with watching a small field just south of the position they had set down in whispered to Miller.
"Hmm.... wonder who they are?" another Seargent in the unit spoke.
"God dammit!" Miller hopped out of his foxhole and walked by his anti-armor guru to move up to better look at the position where the helicopter had just dropped people off.
Mengistua
05-09-2005, 20:18
The Free Arab Republic announces today that terrorists have ambushed and taken control of an airbase desperately near the city of Barre. We request immediate help in taking this back and the formation of a Mengistuan army. We request now and accept immediately any forces coming in that can save Mengistua from the apparent 1.1 million forces marching towards our oilfields and Barre City and Mugabeton. If they are successful, the terrorists will be back in power.

OOC: You do know that Karuchea and the UAS are on your side, right, Mengistua? Karuchea and the UAS are fighting against Quezadria. Unless I've got things messed up horribly here, there's no reason to worry about the incoming 1.1 million troops. One thing I did mess up, though: apparently, Prachanda's another country, and not a Mengistuan city. Oh well.
IC: "Contact, forward."

Nebarri Primes airforce began its attacks F-16s protected the B-1 bombers and A-10 attack planes as they made bombing runs, anti-tank(you have a few tanks i'm guessing), and anti-personel attacks. covered by F-16s. the C-5s laned deploying 40 Gage Scout vehicals, 40 Humvees, and 8,000 Infintry. they began moving to the Mengistua border. at sea the fleet had come close enough for its first assault, and began launching Cruise Missiles at targets in Quezadria.

And by the way, Mengistua is technically in a civil war between the Free Arab Republic (government run by Quezadria) and the Rebels which are supported by myself and Karuchea as well as the United Arab States. The 1.1 million are going in to liberate the country alongside the rebels. I will RP a bit later with the 900,000 UAS troops.

We were more curious than angered as to where you went, so no worries. Perhaps you wouldn't mind bringing the Civil War to a close, so that, technically, Whittier can be here?

You realise that the C-5 carries about 80 passengers. To deploy 40,000 infantry you'd need 500 of them. More would be needed to carry the vehicles. Where exactly do you plan to land these hundreds of aircraft? No to mention the difficulties in coordinating an armada of that size.
Karuchea: I bombed your troops. Post damages.

The patroling E-3 detected the inbound Nebarri aircraft and provided vectors for twelve of the sixteen Demeter-class air-superiority fighters on patrol, the remaining four remaining to escort the E-3. An additional six Demeter's were scrambled to provide additional assistance should the need arise.
The twelve Demeter's heading to attack kept their radars switched off until had closed to within 60km, at which point the lead aircraft in each two-ship formation activated its radar, transmitting the data via secure radio link to its wingman. Each aircraft selected a target and fired off a pair of Cobra AAMs.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 21:13
OOC: Clarify the position of the bombing, what they were bombed with and which troops were bombed. If they are Karuchean troops inside the UAS overall command, they are under Prachanda's jurisdiction, if they are the 300,000 reserves then say so, if they are the 200,000 regular troops then also clarify so. However, these planes would have to break the Anti-Air and SAM wall of which the troops were going by as they were indeed crossing the Karuchean border. Also, do tell if you only attacked the troops or the T-72 tanks or T-98 tanks.
IC: Commander Zaki Omar announced to all reserves that their time was in and they were to invade Mengistua at once following behind the 200,000 vanguard. The ATVs went rolling, the troops began marching with AK-74s as well as with anti-tank and anti-plane rockets. T-98s and T-72s rolled around the troops as the invasion began to follow the 200,00 into the oil fields to strike Barre City in the rear.

OOC: The SAM sites would still wipe out some of the planes, besides, at that point my troops are already in the oil field. I will post 10,000 casualties because under the assumption your planes are not invincible many would have perished due to SAM or simple AA fire before reaching or even after reaching the troops. 10,000 is a very generous number at that point. Also, if I am correct, your timing would have actually placed you in the middle of a battle. I could be wrong about the last one, but if that were the case, then you would have probably been hit by some crossfire since you did not engage at all with either forces.

IC: as the missiles came closer to the Nebarri aircraft the A-10s and B-1s began flying at full speed away from the missiles the F-16s locked on to the attacking fighters and fired AIM-54 missiles before attempting monuvers. soon several A-10s, and F-16s had been hit by missiles.

T-72's and T-98's rolled across the desert, the ATV's unloaded and the troops began charging at the Quezadrian line in front of Barre City. Meanwhile, Prachanda prepared choppers for squads of special forces of Prachanda and Mengistuan freedom fighters to drop in Mugabeton at night. Su-27's and MiG 35's began taking off alongside Tu-160's to bomb the Quezadrian line in Mengistua, their base would be the liberated base in Mengistua.

05-09-2005, 21:50
President Saddam Aflaq would officially like to have discussions between the United Arab States and United Arab Republic leaders. During this time a 2-month Cease-fire would be called between all involved sides.
Karuchea
05-09-2005, 21:57
General Secretary Mohammed Nyerere was amused at these words. He sat back in his chair and dictated the reply. "There will be no cease-fire in any way, shape or form until the Quezadrian forces pull out of Mengistua. Once this occurs Karuchea will officially override any commands and call for the pull-back of all 1.4 million troops in or around Mengistua. The green flag is the symbol of this. If the Quezadrian bases raise a green flag, it is the symbol of immediate cease-fire. This is being given to all United Arab States troops. Our troops are in the Mengistuan oil fields approaching one side of Barre City and approaching with a far greater force at the other side of Barre City. Within hours the Second-Biggest City in Mengistua will fall one way or another to the forces of liberation and Arab unity. We suggest that his honour Saddam Aflaq reply at once."

This coup was pulled off by night raids on houses of high-ranking Ba'th Party members by the military and finally by a coup by army officers and Saddam's Guards. Right now the Interim Council of the Government of the Ba'th is made up of Army commanders and the remaining high-ranking leaders of the Party.

(I'm just attacking the combat planes for now)
Inside the Demeter's, the radar lock warnings began sounding. Antennae began streaming from the port wings of the aircraft, emitting electro-magnetic jamming in an attempt to cause the incoming missiles to break lock. The E-3 radioed information on the F-16's bearing, allowing the Shildonian pilots to turn their aircraft 90 degrees to the Nebarri aircraft, cancelling their relative velocity and rendering themselves almost invisible to the F-16's pulse-doppler radar. Those lucky enough to have broken the enemies radar-lock turned themselves back towards the enemy aircraft and fired off more Cobra's, while those less lucky began diving towards the ground, hoping that they would either be lost in the ground clutter, or that the missile's proximity fuses would be triggered by the ground, rather than themselves.
One novice pilot, unused to low level flying flew himself into the ground, no parachute was seen by the remaining pilots, who radioed in the fact that one of their comrades was down, but continued pushing their aircraft and their own skills to the very limits, lest they join their friend in a smouldering crater.
Another was lucky enough to have his missile detonate against the ground, but his left engine was spattered by shrapnel and flamed out. The gauges showed the hydraulics were leaking as well, so he radioed his intention to return to base, hoping his battered steed would remain entact long enough for him to reach base.
Two Phoenixes were able to find a target, one ripping the Demeter apart with a direct hit, it's pilot dying in spectacular explosion of fuel and explosives. The other was luckier, being able to safely eject, taking some comfort from the fact that he would come down over friendly territory.
The remaining two aircraft were able to lose their pursuers in amongst the weeds, and lit their afterburners to rocket back up to altitude to rejoin the fight.

The Republic of Arabanistan asks all Arab nations under the great revolutionary leadership of the Ba'ath Parties of Karuchea, Quezadria and Prachanda to unite under the cause of Arab unity and the everlasting message of the Ba'athist cause.
Let not the Zionist imperialistic infidel enemy ever gain the ability to divide the Arab nations and set Arabs against each other like a pack of hungry dogs as had happened many times before in the past.
Arabanistan is one of the leading Arab nations that under the Ba'ath Arab Socialist Party and under the Great Leader, Hafez al Assad, and the BASP has made Arabanistan one of those great Arab nations at the forefront of the Arab unification struggle and the Arab people's revolution against Zionist imperialism and moral decadence.
Arabanistan urges the new leadership of the nation of Quezadria not to destroy the Ba'athist revolution in Quezadria and that the BASP holds the leading role as the only party in Quezadria.
Arabanistan also urges the two Arab groupings of Ba'athist nations, the United Arab States (UAS) and the United Arab Republics (UAR) to re-unite and to end this pointless division.
To Mengistua Arabanistan will say this; The government of Mengistua must preserve the Ba'athist ideals of Arab unity and Arab National Socialism. The rebels of the former Mengistua government must also uphold Arab unity and Arab National Socialism. If the rebels aim at any point to destroy Mengistua's Arab identity or to impose un-Arab Marxism Leninism then Arabanistan will work to crush your rebellion.
Marxism Leninism is a European ideology that can only work in societies with a white Aryan population as communism is only meant for the Ayran races.
Let the Arabs unite and win the great revolutionary struggle against the Zionist imperialist enemy.

Miller and company had found a more defendable position.
Moving away from the river they were near, they had found an area between two rises that opened up into a large, flat area. The "valley" they were in had only one "path" in or out, although the anti-armor and engineering guru's in the group were working on a pass.
OOC: I'm just stalling until Hal gets me somewhere to go/do, also, could someone inform me as to what kind of terrain I should be dealing with? IE, am I in a desert, a forest, the jungle...

OOC: Assume my men are with yours in your new position, at least until I get an answer to my question. I want to figure out how this situation's working before I start making any moves.

Why don't we just do like we did in "that one country" and run around the countryside assaulting convoys? :p

Good so now a flight of 5,000 troops of trained soilders rain down on the occupied Menguesta to help the rebels against the Puppet Regiem. I expect that those troops will be supplied with the airdrops and by the rebels.
Also the 1st Armored is pre-paring to invade to topple the puppet reigme. There is for the most part no real aircover for the ground forces and only for the drops which makes the ground forces open to bombing but makes the drops VERY hard to destroy.
