Two nondescript individuals stood silently on the corner of a busy streets, watching the chaotic scene before them with detached interest. There had been another car bombing by the Torontian insurrection. At least one Amestrian soldier was dead not to mention several more innocent bystanders, dozens were injured. The immediate area had been cordoned off by Amestrian occupational forces and was swarming with curious onlookers, soldiers and paramedics alike.

‘Greetings, Lord Kaldor,’ said the first Inquisitor under his breath, still looking at the smouldering wreckage. His expression did not change in the slightest, despite recognising an old friend.

‘Ahh Lord Bernlan, come to observe the delights that the country of Torontia has to offer as well, have you?’ whispered the second Inquisitor sourly, also watching the carnage. Only an Inquisitor could have uncovered the shade of amusement under those toneless words. Indeed, only an Inquisitor with the extreme perceptive qualities that one trained in the Academy of the Synod of the Inquisition could muster would even have heard the quiet words.

‘Quite,' answered Lord Bernlan humourlessly, 'Actually, I’ve called you here to inform you that the Inquisition has ordered all its operatives to immediately cease what assignments they are currently conducting and to follow these new orders, highest priority’ the Lord Inquisitor announced quietly, handing Lord Bernlan a sheet of paper from beneath the folds of his cloak.

Classified / Destroy After Reading
From: His Grace Lord High Grand Inquisitor Norogoth
To: All Lord/Lady Inquisitors

Thought for the Day: There is no innocence, only varying shades of guilt.

The Inquisition of Holy Xirnium has reason to believe that the nation of Kravania is attempting to incite a state of war between the Holy Empire and Stoddenia. We must determine if this is or is not the case.

The Kravanian claims include that Stoddenia is financing, organising, directing, equipping or supporting the local Torontian insurgency, and apparently involve threats of some kind against Holy Xirnium

The High Council of the Inquisition orders all Lord and Lady Inquisitors to investigate the nature of the Torontian insurrection, and determine if there is any truth at all to such allegations. Conduct the mission with all possible haste, do not fail.

High Lord Norogoth
Inquisitor General of Holy Xirnium

Lord Inquisitor Bernlan rapidly scanned the paper, laughing grimly after finishing. ‘Has the High Council gone mad? We’ve already gathered enough evidence to prove Stoddenia has had nothing at all to do with this insurrection. At worse, their broadcast, supposedly endorsing terrorism, was merely poor propaganda. Not meaningful support of any kind.’

Lord Kaldor, however, replied austerely, ‘Yes of course, Lord Bernlan, I know that also. Stoddenia only has a poorly armed militia army and certainly is not capable of conducting terrorism in other nations. In any case we only care whether they are conducting hostilities against us, and the Inquisiton already has enough information to know that they are friendly to us, as we always suspected. Certainly, however, the High Council has its motives, and they involve gathering intelligence on this Torontian independence movement. You have your orders, as I have mine.’

The two grim men exchanged no parting words or gestures of farewell, but merely walked off in different directions, instantly disappearing quietly and flawlessly back into the crowd of people as easily as they had first appeared.

Speech Given on Amestrian Television from the Floor of Parliament by Presidential Candidate and Centralist Party Leader Kasumi Liscel, APB (Amestria Public Broadcasting)

Kusmui Liscel stood at the speaker’s podium. She was about 45, 5.3, short black hair, with an upper left oblique tooth which gave her a certain predatory look whenever she showed her teeth.

"The occupation of Torontia has been exceptionally conducted. Political violence in the Amestrian zone, with the exception of BC, is nonexistent. The Provisional Government and the Authority are effectively providing the required social services. The Torontian military has been rebuilt and is providing security. We have no scientific statistics on the crime rate at this time, but all indications are that, while understandably higher then before the collapse, it has significantly declined since the Amestrian Occupation. That said, our current efforts are insufficient and mistakes where made.

At present, there are only about 450,000 Amestrian soldiers in Torontia assisting the 850,000 Torontian military. When the violence broke out in BC, it caught the Authority off guard, with only 60,000 government troops in the area. An additional 100,000 were flown in with an additional 200,000 to follow. The sudden departure of the stationed Amestrian and Torontian forces from the Olympic Peninsula has created difficulties. If there were not enough troops within a military district to handle domestic disturbances then there is clearly insufficient allocation. This would be excusable if there was a reason for the less then sufficient allocations. Alas, there is not. Our soldiers have been deployed there to prevent domestic disturbances! We are capable of deploying over a million troops in Torontia while maintaining our Security Reserves if the proper policies are implemented.

Therefore, under section 64A of the State Security Act I wish to submit a motion for an emergency call up of all remaining national reserves. Furthermore, under section 65A and 23B of the State Security Act I submit a second motion for the institution of a temporary draft to be carried out in a manner completely in accord with sections 1C through 12D of the State Security Act. With the implementation of these measures, every Torontian military district can be garrisoned with self-sufficient troop levels.

The vast majority of the violence in Torontia has been promoted or caused by out-side influences. There only developed in BC the organized targeted violence that we see now after the Mckagan and The Lone Alliance invasion. When those powers vacated the areas that they had illegally taken possession of, they armed extremist and criminal elements of the civilian population. The riots, the attacks, all conducted with the equipment provided by those nations which either wish to divide up Torontia or reinstall the New Order regime.

This is not just a matter of peacekeeping or international stability. Our country has undertaken the effort to protect Torontia and rebuild it. We must do everything in our power to protect this country and its people. EVERYTHING!”

*Erin sent the message, sent a message informing K. of the report, and then went ot speak with Balor the Emperor* Emperor, our mission in country is complete. Is there any way you can provide us assistance in getting our team out of there? Or, it may be easier to have Amestria do it, since they have declared that any of our agents found in their territory would be forcably removed. With the growing international crisis, do you think it would even be advisable to extract those individuals at the present?

"If your operatives can make their way to the town of Centralia, south of Olympia, our ground forces can evacuate them from the area by helicopter."

Balor handed Erin a small piece of paper.

"This has a security clearance code and the Empire's radio frequency on it. If they can make it to the town this code will identify who they are and we can get them out. If they can't make it, get them to make radio contact and we will see if we can pick them up from the countryside.”

-2nd Insurrection HQ location unknown-
The Current leader of the group sat alone in his small command room the former hiding spot was taken out by Torontian Soldiers earlier that day, they had begun the fall back as soon as the first troops left the planes. While one insider kept up contact with the rest monitering Radio and Television transmissions. The leader's name was Mark Bovern. While more and more hostiles poured into the city, he had begun to lose control of the groups, some were reverting to the more nomral terror tactics. Such ideas were despised by him. However he could understand the desperation. "Get them ready it is time for another address to the world."

----Torontian Local Network----Connection----////WARNING SYSTEM HAC//////##

A older man was sitting at a chair in a small room, with a rifle near him that he still seemed un confortable with.
"People of Torontia of Amestria, of Yallak, of All nations involved."
"In a futileness of Honesty, I am giving my name, I am Mark Bovern, leader of this uprising, I have come to perhaps give my final terms for the cessession of hostilities, remove your troops from Vancouver and declare it an open city. We will only obey an elected government, not an interm government nor a provisional government, those are both just puppet governments set in place by your nations. Leave until the elections That is all we wamt. A simple demand that I am sure you will refuse to meet, leading to hundreds more dead and a city in ruins. Well it's on your hands.

Camp Robyn, Hidden DART Team Base

The 12 man DART team was finally safe. DART, the equivilant of a Navy SEAL, was usually deployed off SSN's or Guided Missile destroyers into a nation where they would lay low before completing a short objective and extracting themselves. This mission, however, was different.

The base was a complex one. Under the sewer system there was another tunnel network, used for internet/communication cables privatly owned by the Tanakis regime. Inside that, there was a small room. Probably used to store equipment or possibly even arms, it was highly reinforced from the beginning. Now the McKagan Army had built a bunker complex above it, so a bunker busting missile would find difficulty in busting it open. In a corner of the original room, however, a wall had broken open and revealed another complex. With storage spaces, it was a great place to hide.

With the recent fighting, a water line had broken in the area. The tunnel behind this room was completely under water.

Now there were only two ways in and out of the complex that were still passable. A three KM long tunnel ran out to the ocean, where it had dumped waste there but was now unused. The team regularly sent a man out to that tunnel, which emptied out on a rocky mountain ridge and was completely blocked on the "opening" end by metal bars. The other way was odd. Up in the mountains North of the nearest city was a cave. Deep in that cave a ladder went DEEP down to a small room on the far side of the DART complex. This is where the meetings took place.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can find most of the things needed to make a I-E-D at a Wal Mart. Household chemical's, gas, and then various methods of lighting and remote controlling it. We have found the best way to control it is using a garage door opener."

The team's Lieutenant continued to talk to the group of 10 insurgents. Every few days a group of insurgents would show up and ask for training.

DART teams, specially trained in exactly this, showed the insurgents how to make the deadly roadside bombs. Some of them even powerful enough to destroy an Abrams tank, they would prove VERY hazardous to Amestria troops working in the area.

These insurgents were told to plant at least 3 bombs/person/day. They were also instructed to send anyone else they thought would be interested in the Insurgency to the camp.

The insurgency was now growing. The majority of the recruits to the school said they hadn't been involved in the insurgency before: and that they knew other people who would be interested.

Amestria Public Broadcasting

Reporter: Today Parliament, after much debate among the MP's and an attempted filibuster by a minority faction of the Socialist Party, enacted an Emergency call up of the National Reserves and a Temporary Draft. The legislation had the support of the Centralists, the Social Democrats, the National Democrats, and the Conservative Parties.

Parliament also passed a measure classifying Stoddenia as a 'State Sponsor of Terrorism', which places into effect trade sanctions, gives the President prior Parliamentary approval to employ airpower against the nation, and legalizes the targeting of that countries leadership with assassination. The government has denied however that they had any other intention other then the diplomatic and economic isolation of Stoddenia.

Announcer: We now go live to President Daniel F. Boons public response to Torontian rebel leader Mark Bovern's announcement.

President Boon: "Neither Amestria nor the Torontian government intends to give into terrorism and cater to the demands of a radical minority. Mark Bovern and his accomplices are clearly not interested in joining the political process, namely the local elections scheduled next month and the National Elections next year. There would be elections taking place in BC at this moment had there not been this campaign of terror. They are not interested in elections because they know they cannot win and that the only way for them to ever gain power is through systematic mass violence. When they say 'Open City', they mean a city under their complete control.

Mark Bovern, if that is his real name, is the leader of a small insignificant group of foreign backed thugs. Their complete and total destruction is only a matter of time. To hasten that destruction the State of Amestria is hereby offering 20 million Gold Hobbes for information leading to the death or capture of the individual claiming to be Mark Bovern."

[OCC: This information is absolutely not being distributed to anyone at all, but is going to be filed away in the vast archives of the Inquisition]

Most Secret / Highest Encryption
From: Lord Inquisitor Bernlan
To: Their Worships, the Lord/Lady High Inquisitors of the High Council

Thought for the Day: Blessed are the ignorant, for they know not the terrible truth.

My lords/ladies,

It is my pleasure to present to you the initial findings of your august agents into the insurgency currently in progress in occupied Torontia.

Firstly, we must stress that every day more and more evidence is growing to support our conclusion that Stoddenia has had no part whatsoever in the terrorism occurring in Torontia.

The Inquisition has determined the main part of the insurgency to be led by a Mr Mark Bovern, with possible assistance from a Lone Alliance splinter cell. It has been determine Bovern is an anti-Tanakis rebel, and now rallies his roughly 800 guard to a “Torontia for Torontians” cause. We have further determined their insurgency to be no threat to Holy Xirnium. Detailed information on the group, their methods, and their actions to date in the accompanying attachments.

The Inquisition has further determined a second, smaller, insurgency developing under a separate group, so far having gone completely unnoticed by counter-terrorist groups and numbering over a hundred. The Inquisition has had vast troubles investigating this group, as it has extreme security measures to protect it. We hypothesise that it may be supported by McKagan commandoes, and we can assume the group to be pro-Tankis. Further information, however, on the possible McKagan involvement would require an inordinate expenditure of resources. The Inquisition has determined they pose no threats to us, and we are as yet unsure whether the two rival insurgencies will even survive in the same nation without coming to blows based on their opposed ideologies. Detailed information on the group, their methods, and their actions to date in the accompanying attachments.

My lords/ladies, having fulfilled your directives, the Inquisition’s agents currently in Torontia respectfully request to return to their previous assignments. The terrorist actions are of no concern to Holy Xirnium and they do not threaten Holy Xirnium, and it would be a waste of resources to continue to investigate them with such large numbers of Inquisitors. Let us allow Amestria to deal with them, this is their war. We have our own problems to deal with.

Open Message

Regardless of what Amestria labels Stoddenia, we will NOT allow Amestria airpower to attack Stoddenia. We will not launch offensive missions to ensure it doesn't happen, but we will, upon Stoddenia's approval deploy assets to deter such an attack. We urge our friends in Amestria to think twice before throwing needless death upon us.

Secret Message to Stoddenia

Upon hearing of the threats by Amestria, we would like to propose this to you. If you allow, we'll ship 50 Ku-29 Vick UCAV's (capable of 20+ G's and Mach 12) to your nation, and land a total of 4 Stewart Class Amphibious Ships with 4 Illium Class Guided Missile Destroyers to set up an Anti-Aircraft grid.

-Northern Torontian Border-
A group of 4 figures closed in on the check point through the woods as A single Truck started driving rapidly towards the checkpoint. The Machinegun Nest and the Armored Vehicle both trained their guns on it. "Turn around, this is a restricted area." Came the shout of a megaphone. The truck kept moving, "Turn around or we will open fire." The truck continued it's straight path towards the Machine Gun Nest. "It's trying to ram us open fire!" The .50 of the machineguns opened up on the cab of the truck, While the APC aimed it's 22mm Main gun on it. Firing it sent a round straight through the engine block damaging the whole truck and flipping it on it's side around 20 feet in front of the gate. "Move to defensive postions, there may be more of them." As he finished the sentence the truck exploded with the force of a large bomb, tossing the Armored Vehicle off the side of the road onto the ditch. From the distant Treeline,a voice shouted, "Run if you want to live!"

6 Miles away.
A group of three trucks were anchored to the ground, parked with the rear facing the Border. Behind them the other 6 sat parked nearby. Of the three trucks, Two packing a light Artillery Cannon, and the third mounting a large deployed launcher carrying two very familiar missiles.
"Target locked, Tomahawk on target APC targeted, prepare to launch," Came the command, "88s ranged at 6 miles and loaded."
"Now we wait for the signal." At that point the sound of the massive explosion reached them. "FIRE!"

Reference Post on Camp Robyn's Operational Procedure's

To enter the complex, there is only one viable entrance. Because the second, being a multi-kilometer long tunnel out to a sea cliff, is so out of the way and useless in most operations. That leaves the cave system.

The cave opening is a short distance from the city. Far enough to keep a wandering scout unit from driving into it or using it in any way, but not too far to keep insurgents from making trips to it.

After the regular insurgent nears the opening of the cave a small group of DART's intercept them, blindfold them, and secure the entrance. Moving through the cave network, which leads into no less than 15 different directions, they pass 4 silenced Machine Gun turrets that are on raised positions that the wandering soldier wouldn't see. The same process is repeated for extracting them.

As for operational security, all insurgents are told that the DART's are actually insurgents who are working several levels below the command structure. Scare tactics against the insurgents are NOT used. There is a feeling of friendship given off, and the sense that all the people are working for the same goal.

Should an insurgent turn completly, he would be capable of giving away no more information that:
1) The location of the cave.
2) His orders.
3) How many people he trained with, but not who, specifically.

[New Insurgent Movements]

Long ago the IMA (Imperial McKagan Army) had purchased several packages from the Leafanistani storefront. Given that most of the weapons there were generic and easily found on the blackmarket, it would be no surprise when they showed up fighting Amestrian's in Torontia. After sitting in a warehouse for years, they were finally put aboard one of the dock landing ships sent to Torontia during the occupation. Afterwards, however, they were left and put in secret (SPREAD OUT) locations to be used by the insurgency.

They were finally being used.

All across Northern Torontia the group of insurgents prepared. A total group of about 150 insurgents slowly massed together, but not in large groups to avoid the wrath of the imperialist occupiers.

Then, slowly and strategically, they moved south. Into the rural area between North and South BC, they moved to launch their attack.

Planting a total of 30 land mines in the road, they waited for Amestrian convoys. Then, any they saw were attacked from wilderness high-ground locations by RPG's, LAW's, AK74's, P90's, and the occasionaly M203. Over a rather long period, close to 20 convoys, ranging from large ones, to small ones carrying unknown payloads; were attacked with brutal force.

Secret

The captured insurgents are taken to an Amestrian/Torontian Military Base in Vancouver. They are all interviewed one on one with a member of newly restructured Torontian Secret Service and a member of Amestrian Military Intelligence. The interrogations take place in a restricted section of the base, in a curtained off cubical.

Torontian Officer (speaking to each of them, assume Company Communications Officer): "You are an insurgent and a rebel, not a prisoner of war."

Amestrian Officer: "As a prisoner of war you would be subject to protection under International Law and would be sent to a detainment center for the remainder of the conflict."

Torontian Officer: "But you are not a prisoner of war, you are a rebel, a criminal. You are subject to Torontian domestic law. And that law says traitors die!"

Amestrian Officer: "You are charged with armed rebellion, endangerment of the public order, and treason. Once found guilty by the tribunal, and your guilt is quite plain so don't think you will get out of it, you will be hanged!"

Torontian Officer: "Sergeant!"

The curtains are pulled back to reveal a captured insurgent being hanged. His muffled screams continue until he strangles.

Amestrian Officer: "You had better make a deal!"

Torontian Officer: "And the intelligence better be good, or you will hang anyway!"

"18, 19, 20 Trucks, alright they're through the rest fall back." The Black Hand leader said, making sure that he stood outside the Torontian Border. "You 100 will be the first to rejoin the fight, go and give them hell on earth, PEACE THROUGH POWER!" He quickly ran back to the Armored Cars and departed. The commander of the newest Arm of the Resistance, Joesph Lagrange, gave the order to move out, with full knowledge of the Land he pointed out a small hardly used road that would take them to their first objective. They pulled to the side just to the head of the advancing Enemy Reinforcements.

"Sir, we have an armored assault and the checkpoint is gone!"

"Roger that!"

Word is sent to the Amestrian Occupation Authority.

*News Broadcast, over SNN (Sattalite News Network)*

*A newscaster reports from Beratica International Airport.*

Here we see the aircraft of the President of Stoddenia as it touches down at Beratica, for the conference deciding what to do about the accusations of Kravania. In this tense international environment, this individual is perhaps one of the more controversial figures in the world currently. His nation has just withdrawn from the UN, because of their passage of a controversial bill that changed his country's orientation over the afternoon from Socialist to Capitalizt and now has his nation's people starving in the streets... Let's see if we can get a few words with this charismatic and controversial leader of socialist revolution. *the Newscaster moves closer, and gets fairly close to the advancing president. As he reaches out to shake hands of the small crowd of people that has arrived on the Airport tarmak to welcome him, three shots ring out. Immediately, blood pours from a smoking holes in the stomach, arm and chest of President's uniform. The President, looking shocked for a second, then looking very intently at a person in the crowd, loses control of his legs and falls to the ground. The Crowd immediately becomes pandamonium. The camera pans around the crowd looking for the shooter as panicing people scream and cry. The camera focuses on a person who is pointing a silver pistol toward where the President was standing, and this man is instantly attacked by the President's small entourage. Shots ring out as the man attampts to defend himself, and one guard, and two innocent bystanders are hit. The man takes advantage of the chaos to work his way back through the crowd. The camera pans back over to the President and the news reporter can finally be heard in the background*

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! He's shot! They killed him! He's shot.... Someone get the fuck in here... *The camera pans across the crowd wildly, and it is clear that the camera man is running. He focuses a little ways away from the President of Stoddenia, who is laying in a pool of blood on the runway, and several military members are seen spilling out of the plane to pick up the President and carry him back into the plane... By this time airport security have arrived on the scene and begin conducting first aid on the injured bystanders...

*The shot cuts back to the Studio, where the anchor reports* Ladies and Gentlemen, you have just seen it here. The President of Stoddenia, one of the world's more controversial figures, has been assassinated. Word of the President's condition has not arrived, and his current state is unknown, but he has been taken aboard the aircraft he has arrived in. The guard that was shot was only shot in the arm, and he ran back aboard the plane soon after the President was carried back aboard the plane. We are recieving word now that one of the two spectators that was shot has only superficual wounds and the other was shot in the leg. They are officially listed, by airport security as stable.... If you're just tuning in, the President of Stoddenia has been assassinated. We are not sure if he is still alive or not. But this comes on the heels of a declaration by the Amestrian congress that members of Stoddenia's government are now targets for assassination. More on this in a moment...

*The head of the Popular Militia of Stoddenia, Commandante Gevaria, is shown on the Television. He is in his military uniform and is sitting at the President's desk with the Stoddenian flag behind him* Comrades, friends and people of the world. For those of you who do not know me, I am Commandante Gevaria. The President of Stoddenia has left me in control of the military of our Nation while he was away at the conference where he was subsequently assassinated by some malicious power.

We therefore will make an announcement. Until the President's condition is known, Kammilo Oatsa will be the acting President. Oatsa, also known as K. is the current Secretary of State of Stoddenia. He is well known throughout the world as a dedicated socialist revolutionary and will serve our people well. Kammilo will surrender power the minute it is clear that the President can return to his duties, or if this is not possible, Kammillo will organize a national election to determine the permanent President of Stoddenia.

Additionally, the President, before he was shot, asked me to inform the Nation that our country has pulled out of the UN. They instituted policies in this nation that instantly created class stratification, an increase in capitalism, and suffering of working class and poor people. Because of this, because our social revolution demands it, we have withdrawn our membership from the UN, and will immediately set out on a path of "rectification" to undo the damage done to us by the imperialist Policy of the UN.

We have one final thing to say. Stoddenia had many enemies. But only one of them officially sanctioned legislation that targeted Stoddenian officials. Other countries might have declared their intent to invade us, but only one of these nations put an official government hit on our revolutionary officials. That country is Amestria. The supposed "socialist" nation who should, and in fact, has asked to, stand in solidarity with Stoddenia at the Plenary for the Socialist International that we will continue to organize has instead decided that our politicians were to be targets for assassins. They may not have officially had anything to do with it, but their words led to action against our President, who was a man of our people, who walked among us and kept only a small retinue of guards. Amestria may not have ordered the hit explicitly, but they did order it implicitly, and they were happy when the hit was carried out. Needless to say, the Amestria 14 who are imprisoned at the Docks of our country will remain in prison until an official apology is issued by the Nation of Amestria and steps are taken to reverse the legislation that we hold DIRECTLY responsible for this assassination. Amestrian delegates to the Socialist international plenary have been arrested, and will join their 14 compatriots out on the docks, awaiting their nation to acknowledge their presence.

I, as commandante, will remain in command of the nation's militia, and we will remain on high alert.

We will find the criminal who is responsible for this. And we will discover if he is associated with any nation. If he is, we will seek sanctions against this country that shall effectively neutralize it for the rest of time.

This is all for now.
I am Commandante Gevaria. Socialism or Death. Long live the President. May he yet live.

Message from the Government of the State of Amestria

Amestria will apologize and reverse the earlier legislation if Stoddenia apologizes for inciting violence against Amestrian and Torontian officials. In calling for insurrection, Stoddenia encouraged the terrorists attacking our Peacekeeping forces and established that Stoddenia cared nothing for the lives of our people. We were simply returning the favor.

In the meantime, we demand you release the people that you currently have in illegal custody. Our delegation, which you have taken hostage, is protected by diplomatic immunity, and you must release them unless they have committed a grave offense in your nation. Until we receive an apology and you release our officials Amestria will ignore you.

Message from Acting President K.
To the Government of Amestria
via. the Yallak government

We support all homegrown wars of national liberation. Our fact finding mission in Torontia has discovered that the activity in Torontia is not being conducted by homegrown elements. The people who are conducting the rebellion in Torontia are foreign agents. We have not discovered who they are, but we are convinced that they are not Torontians. We are not prepared to support foreign influences trying to conquer parts of a nation that is not theirs.

This is why our President issued this policy. It goes as much for the foreign led and directed insurgency as it does for the occupying powers. It is not important to us what you claim your mission there was. You are still occupying the country, you still maintain marshall law in a nation that is not your own, and so we still oppose you and everyone else being there. You do not belong in Torontia. You were not invited there, and the only reason you are there is because of the result of a military invasion. You refuse to relinquish your claims on the land of Torontia, have set NO timetable for your departure, and have done absolutely nothing to empower the local population to reclaim their sovereignty. You control the "provisional" government of Torontia, and even if you are only "overseeing" their reconstruction, you are still influencing it. But all of that has been put on hold.

However, if there is a movement of Torontian nationals, that springs up organically inside Torontia, is committed to egalitarianism, and is bent on conducting a war of national liberation, our policy still stands and we will not retract it. We are sorry for your nation's losses since the non-indigenous insurrection began. It is merely a case of one imperialist fighting another imperialist for the scraps. The people of Torontia are being used as a proxy for imperialist wars. And we are sorry to see that happening. But if the people were seeking their self-determination and the right to decide their own future free of any outside interferance, why shouldn't we, in fact, why shouldn't ANY democratic state seek to support them? The only ones that would seek to oppress them would be those who had a stake in maintaining their own control over Torontia.

Unfortunately, this insurrection does not seem to meet our qualifications for support, and so the people of Torontia will suffer on their own, because we cannot committ troops to assist other imperialist nations in their efforts to take their slice of the pie. We are, after all a neutral nation that has now been threatened with invasion twice, and our President shot down at a PEACE CONFERENCE! But if there was ever an opportunity to do so, if there was ever a homegrown, social democratic and egalitarian, committed organized front for National Liberation from foreign powers, our nation would certainly reach out to these folks to assist them, as should ANY democratic nation. Our President's policy stands as the official position in this war, and it is expanded to mean not just this war, but in ANY conflict where the people of their country are fighting for their own liberation against an imperialist power.

As for the people that are in custody. We have offered you, and re-extend to you the opportunity to come pick them up. They are in an improvised jail. They have only the status of spy. Their incarceration is a direct response to your government's policy of arresting and removing any Stoddenian Nationals found within Torontia. Our people were there on a diplomatic fact finding mission. You decided that if found, they would be charged with espionage. So we extended all Amestrian citizens found within the boarders of our nation the same... courtesy. Our penalty for espionage is imprisonment, but since we don't actually have any prisons, we figured a palacon set out on the docks would work just fine. They are being fed one meal a day, and they are eagerly awaiting you to come and pick them up. They would like you to know that they are tired of hearing every night, all night about how your country has forgotten them. One of them offered us some information which we did not solicit concerning a scandal in your nation's government in exchange for an extra meal. We of course denied his request, since we did not solicit the information.

As for your delegates to the International, they have the status of "spy" and spies recieve no diplomatic immunity, especially since you do not have diplomatic relations with our country, and have refused to even treat with us on equal terms. Instead, they are paying the price for your government's decision, and possible subsequent action in pursuance of your government's policy, to declare our politicians targets. As the Commandante said, your agents may not have pulled the trigger, but we have no doubt that the assassin used your Government's policy as justification for the assassination of our President. If that man, our President dies, I will ask the world to hold your nation responsible. I would imagine that you would want to pray to which ever God it is you pray to that he lives. Your diplomats have joined the others, which includes one particularly distasteful fellow from Saint Fedski who came to our port just to insult our writing conventions after that country had been specifically asked not to send any one to our nation, in the palacon cell that they dwell in now.

We prefer that you remove these individuals from our Dock. They are taking up space that we need to unload supplies that we are recieving now that will help us wait out the blockade, if it ever arrives. We will permit one unarmed civilian vessel from your nation to weigh anchor 50 feet off the dock. They will not tie up to the dock, they will not drop a gang plank. If they merely put their anchor down, they will not be shot at by our security personnel. At that point, we will release the people from your nation to that boat. How they get to the boat is up to your country, but they will be freed, if you comply with these terms. We were preparing a list of things you could send us, like tractors, if you liked in exchange for the detainees. That's up to you.

Rest Assured, Mr. President. I am more committed to social JUSTICE than our President is. I have less of an educated background, I am from a poorer social grouping than he was until the revolution began in this country. I am younger, and more impetuous than he is. The bullet that struck down our President struck down the relative moderate. In his name, however, we will see to it that his policy goals for Stoddenia are carried through, regardless of who in the world objects. And we will not use the same tactics he used, because we see where that got him. I pray for the day that the President returns to this nation and is fit to govern again, because then Stoddenia has a chance to shine and prosper in peace once more. Until then, we will act as if we are at war, and as if we are threatened by all those nations who are not our allies. I believe that our short history more than justifies this stance.

Our President has been shot. We will not forgive this. You may come and take your people out of this country, but do so quickly, because if they are still there in three days and arrangements have not been made for their evacuation, I will be signing the first death warrants in our country's history since the death penalty was outlawed in this country shortly after the oligarchy was tried and sentenced. It is time, Amestria, for you to moderate. We moderated, and our blood was spilled. We will not make that same mistake twice.

K, Acting President of Stoddenia

Message from the State of Amestria to Stoddenia

Amestria has no ships capable of reaching Stoddenia in three days. We demand your government hand the prisoners over to the government of Yallak or allow them to fly out of the country. We will not exchange them for anything, as it is against Royal Law for the State to negotiate with terrorists. If you wish to execute them, and demonstrate the true barbarity of your nation’s regime and further justify our classification of it as a sponsor of terrorism, then go right ahead. In the last few months over 6000 Amestrians have perished in their States wars or fallen prey to terrorism. Amestria is a large country, and large countries have casualties.

-President Daniel F. Boon

P.S. When Amestria ordered all Stoddenians out of Torontia, they were given three days to leave and prior warning!

The setting sun over Torontia turned the rapidly darkening sky into a blood red colour. Across the horizon, five Imperial Black hawk’s speed over the BC area, quickly dropping to a height of only a few hundred metres above the ground.

“Sergeant. 1 minute to Port Coquitlam”
“Prepare for insertion”
“We’re good to go, Sir”

As the flight reached the outskirts of the city, they dropped in among the scattered buildings. Sergeant Ries watched as his men threw ropes out to the ground, then grabbed his rifle and joined them in their descent down them. Within twenty seconds, each helicopter deployed its squad and was pulling up and out of the city.

“Hilo flight heading home Sergeant. Enjoy your stay and call us when you need pick up.”
“Copy that, thanks for the ride. Sledgehammer out.”

As the Black Hawks disappeared from sight, the 50 men of Assault Section Sledgehammer moved into a nearby 4-story building to set up a makeshift headquarters.

(THESE ARE VERBAL MESSAGES!!!! THEREFORE THEY ARE SECRET IC)

-Black Hand of Nod Base-
"Sir we have a good reason to believe that the Government of Hataria is responsible for the Assassination of Stoddenia's leader, what should we do?" The officer said addressing the Leader of the Black Hand. "Find them, Kill them, find out as much about them, then work your way up, show them that two can play at this game." "Yes Sir."

-Torontian Reinforcement Rebels-
The group continued down the road, stopping to either drop some supplies or to split up, however they weren't lost, Joesph Lagrange knew this place like the back of his hand, one truck was separated and headed south and two others had deployed at the bottom of a valley. Later on 5 trucks shifted down another old Dirt Road and headed Southwest, the main Group continued their Western Motion, Of The two that remained on was a AA AT Missile Vehicle and the other was another Tomahawk equipped One, a handful of guards with RPGs and SA-9s guarded them. The one that went off alone was a C4 equipped one with 3 people on board. Two were constantly in the back dropping flares in the truck bed to give the truck a high heat signal. The truck had been further modified to have the exhaust move through extra pipes along the side of the truck in order to increase it's heat signal even more. Their goal was diversion. The group of 5 were armed with 1 was AA AT missile model, another a AA Artillery 88, 2 with a couple of Exocet missiles, the final one was another Tomahawk Version. Their goal was the coast.

The Final Group of 12 Trucks were the most powerful group, Carrying 3 IFV models, 3 AA Artillery ones, 3 AA AT Missile Model, 1 Tomahawk Model 1 Cargo modified into a Command Truck, and the last a juryrigged Radar Truck.
They were also had the most troops, which every few miles they would let one or two off with a box full of supplies, they knew that until the Border was fixed Amestria would be using attack Aircraft on them, therefore a scattered group of AA equipped Rebels would be useful. They had them spread out enough to ground any helicopter and slow plane that would try and intercept the group, and enough to at least make a Jet pullout.

-Black Hand Transport Base-
"Alright what the heck are these?" A nod soldier said unloading a bunch of Bulky weapons. "Wait those are," He began, "Yes they are, but they were supposed to be almost impossible to make, where did you get them?" "It's better not to ask questions here kid." The officer in charge said.

-Vancouver-
"Someone took out the Stoddenia president." Said one of the troops to Mark Bovern. "That is horrible, I'm sure I'll be sharing the same fate eventually, but with them executing Prisoners surrender is no longer an option."

The Hatarian Spynet was large and well trained. Hatarian Spies had found out thet The "Black Hand of Nod" was planning on killing Hatarian Government Officals. The Hatarian Military High Command soon decided to destroy the threat by Finding the BHN Base and Destroying it.

Spy Satellites were soon seraching the Planet for the Base, while Master Spy, Asuka Ying Lang, was sent to find info on The Black hand of Nod.

*News Flash over SNN*

Anchor says: We now join a teleconference from Stoddenia, that is just getting underway.

Acting President of Stoddenia, K.: Comrades, we have gathered the world's press here to dicuss the attempted assassination of our President. There are two things we would like to mention first off. The President is still alive... The aircraft that carried him away from the airport where he was to attend the peace conference has recently landed within our country. Doctors here won't know how badly he is injured for some time, however, because various lifesaving measures that his guards innitiated on the aircraft need to be extended by the doctors. His condition is currently listed as critical by our medical professionals. We ask the entire world to keep him in your thoughts, whether you love or hate what he stands for, his life still hangs in the ballance and any little bit of meditation on that subject will probably help him survive this horrific assult.

On the next topic, the nations of Hataria AND Ankhmet have claimed responsibility for this attack. The fact that there is disagreement over who was really responsible for the assult leads us to believe it was neither of them. Let us remind the people of the world that it was Amestria... who declared any national of Stoddenia, even though all Stoddenian citizens in Torontia were peaceful and on a diplomatic mission, to be espionage agents. Let it not be forgotten that Amestria supports these bogus claims about Stoddenia that we possess and are selling WMDs to the world. Let it not be forgotten that Amestria has passed a Resolution in their Parliament that makes it legal for people to SHOOT our government officials. They can claim all they like that they are not behind this event, but the facts stack up against them. They are occupying imperialists who refuse to relinquich their control over Torontia, and its government. Therefore, their national ideology stands in sharp contrast with our nation's. it is reasonable that they should want to get our President out of the way. Ladies and Gentlemen of the court of world opinion. I want to remind you that we are not directly accusing Amestria of this action. We have no proof of WHAT nationality the assassin was, or who he was working for. But weigh the facts. If an Amestrian did not pull the trigger, their government is at least partially responsible for the President's wounds. Think about it for yourselves. The government of Amestria has made NO concilations concernign our national crisis. They have not abated their calls for war against our people or our government officials. They have not recanted their causus belli. They have not made one overtone that they are the least bit sorry about what happened to our President. Why should they? It was under their government's OFFICIAL policy that this assassination attempt was carried out.

We are in no position to punish Amestria for this policy. That's the way things go. We possess only a defensive militia and a small navy capable of carrying out damage to smaller cruise vessels. We do not possess WMD's. What could we do against Amestria? Our only hope is that someone does something to stop this senseless continual assult on our national sovereignty. We appreciate the support many of our friendly nations have shown us in sending vessels to guarantee the territorial integrity of our State. but this seems to be continual. It seems that to protect our nation from an invasion threat every other week, we must get rid of the fruits of our revolution. Civil liberties, poverty elimination programs, political freedoms... All of these programs, the things the people fought for for decades against the Oligarchy and actively for 10 years... All of these things must be thrown out the window for the aggressive nations of the world to see that we do not want war. We must get rid of any programs designed to make the lives of the people of our nation better so that the imperialists, of whatever stripe or shade, will take us seriously.

Well, guess what. We will NOT back down from our revolution. We will deepen it. We will continue to look bad in the eyes of the fascists and imperialists, including those who call themselves leftists, to look weak to those who wish to take us over. And we will organize our forces to provide a more effective deterant to foreign threat. We have already left the UN because they sought to reverse our revolution through their pro-capitalist policies of free trade and we are having to discover what damage they did to our economy and fix it. This bold step was in defense of the gains of the Revolution.

But we are not done fighting the revolution. When the leaders of the last Oligarchy were tried and executed, that is when our Revolution, the REAL revolution began in Stoddenia. We are just getting started. We are not satisfied with the way several nations in the world view us. We will be the EXAMPLE of socialist revolution throughout the world, and encourage all oppressed minorities to follow this example.

As for the Amestrian spies we have captured, we will keep our word. Since the President will be recovering, with hope, these people are to be freed. If the Empire of Yallak wishes to take them aboard, we will turn them over to Yallak to repatriate to Amestria. We hope this overture of peace will take Amestria back from the brink and bring them to the table. We are, of course, not confident in this possibility at all, and if Amestria did choose to de-escalate this conflict, we would be shocked.

This is all for now.

Socialism of Death.

Standard Imperial Transmission

The Empire will take responsibility for the captured Amestrians. They will be picked up by a helicopter from the fleet shortly and Taken to Torontia and handed over to the Occupation authority.

However we must warn Stoddenia – do not throw accusations about Amestria around without hard proof or you will place your nation in among others like Kravania and Hataria – outcast by the international community for your arrogance.

Amestrian/Torontian soldiers move into positions and block all roads leading from the area of the attack. All checkpoints and patrols are placed on high alert. Being 200,000 Torontian/Amestrian troops between the Rebel reinforcements and the coasts, it was doubtful if any would make it that far.

The Final Group of 12 Trucks were the most powerful group, Carrying 3 IFV models, 3 AA Artillery ones, 3 AA AT Missile Model, 1 Tomahawk Model 1 Cargo modified into a Command Truck, and the last a juryrigged Radar Truck.

The 20 Torontian F-16s spot the convoy of 12 trucks and radio back to the Authority Air Command asking for permission to engage.

"You have permission to engage!"

"Light them UP!"

The Torontian planes swoop down from the sky, raining death and destruction with their Air to Surface missiles (each plane has six) and canons.

Having confirmed a large foreign penetration of Torontia's borders, the Authority launches an additional 35 F-16s (equipped with Air to Surface Missiles) to begin patrols in the free fire zone.

Response [To Amestrian Counter Insurgency Operation]

At first it seemed like it would be a very important raid on the insurgency, probably knocking them out. Several large weapons cache's were discovered in the first hours of the operation, but then it ceased. Among the arrests were only a few important people. Several platoon leaders an a Company communications officer (Secret IC: Who will provide false information when interrogated), the rest are footsoldiers who are easily replaceable among the insurgency's growing numbers. The weapons taken are very replaceable, as various hideouts around N BC have been designated for them.

The raids caught the insurgency off guard. It expected a more urban war where the Amestrian's would be afraid to venture off into the woodland area. It would be hard to completly force them out now, but the insurgency did need to score some kind of kill.

So, several hours after the raids started, a company of Insurgents began to attack, but not conventionaly. Up on high cliff's and ridges, they lobbed grenades, set up claymores (and other booby traps,) and placed a group of 50 snipers around on any highground that could be found. The snipers, taking advantage of what appeared to be Amestrian false sense of security; looked to pick off scores of footsoldiers.

Amestrian Military Movements

The weather was miserable, a fine rain which quickly turned into a fine mist. Scoops, glasses and binoculars all fogged up, visibility decreased, and everyone was bitter towards the ever-present dampness.

An Amestrian platoon ventured into view and the insurgents opened fire! Several went down in the ensuing sniper attack and claymore explosions. The platoon quickly pulled out, but not before strafing the area the area with wicked covering fire (7 Amestrians KIA, 12 WIA). After two more such engagements around the high ground (2 Amestrians KIA, 5 WIA), a perimeter is set up surrounding the high areas used (or possibly used) by the insurgents. The troops take up positions out of range of the insurgents and set up their own snipers (to stop anyone from passing the perimeter).

Two Torontian B-52s bombers are called in to carpet bomb the high areas.

(Note: All Amestrian wounded are evacuated from the area by medical helicopter and taken to a military hospital).

-Main Truck Convoy-
Fortunantuly the Radar Van managed to pick up the F-16s as the began their run and quickly radioed the commander. "SCATTER!" came the reply as the first missiles began firing, Many of the trucks turned and crashed into the woods that bordered each side of the narrow dirt road, the missiles were pretty accruate but fortunantly Joesph Lagrange was at his objective it while the rest took cover the first 5 under his command left the road into a narrow creek, he quickly stopped and deployed his secret weapon from the back of his truck, a 163 Vulcan Chaingun. He ordered the other 4 to continue to the caves ahead.

Of the 7 that remained in the path of the missiles 5 were taken out at the first run, leaving only a damaged IFV variant and a quickly being manned 88 AA model. As the planes went around for another run however, around 15 Surface to Air Missiles were launched at the squadron from farther back in the path. From the ruined convoy the ones who had bailed out also opened up with their HN-5 Surface to Air Weapons. the planes were soon facing a large hail of missiles and gunfire from the 88s and the Vulcan.

-5 Truck Group-
They had finally reached a secure enough location to deploy. They knew that there was an ambush up ahead, however they quickly readied their Exocets for launch. All they needed was a positive location coord before they could begin. The location was a small canyon valley caused by a small creek, the large trees that were native to the area provided great cover.

-Mark Brovan Rebel Sucesses-Two more bridges damaged.
Pro Amestrian Propaganda destroyed in multiple locations.
The loss of Vehicles and the supression of Civil Liberties by Amestria and the Provisional Government has spread anger amoung the populace.
Respect for Amestria amoung North Torontians: -45 (Down 45)

-Mark Brovan Rebel Failures-
Southwest Vancouver under full Amestrian control
3 more Cells down
Power restored to Amestria important structures.

-Black Hand Sucess-New Reinforcements arriving in Anchorage.
Locations of Amestrian blockade ships found.
Managed to help the resistance without violating their 'not landing on Torontian Soil' order.

The F-16s take evasive action and deploy their counter measures. They manage to avoid the enemy fire and quickly fly out of range.

"Central Command, we are meeting heavy fire by concentrated elements. We suggest maximum force, over."

"This is Central Command, Rogar That! Clear the Area!"

The fighters fly out of the area. The Amestrian fleet launches 160 Cruise Missiles targeting the area in a checker pattern to maximize effectiveness.

The approaching 35 F-16s combine force with the original 20. After the Cruise Missiles hit they descend and attack.

"Jared, we have a situation," Governor Keane says as he barges in to Lieutenant General Jared Fedora's office. "As you are only too well aware, there is a small problem in the B.C. area. Amestria has asked that we help them out."

"So I hear. It's funny, they talk tough and threaten us because they feel threatened by your government, yet when a few of their people get killed, they come begging for help. I'm going to send 1200 Torontian Regulars supported by 100 Elite Guards and lets see as added support, we'll deploy the NSCS Xirnium. What do you think?"

"I'm thinkin' maybe 250 PAF* aircraft, and a couple frigates. General Ferdinand of the Torontian Army should lead this expedition. He's the most experienced soldier the Torontians ever had. According to the records I've been reviewing, the ones we captured, he was the mastermind behind the crushing of the Citizen Uprising a couple years back. The bloody git even went on some dangerous missions!"

"Sounds like a plan. Ms. Bernhard, please send this package to General Ferdinands office. Thank you dear. Now Sean, let's talk about something more important: governing. Rumour has it the AOA is going to propose a new unified government idea. I think it's bullshit and it won't work just like the last one."

(Keane is mildly laughing) "Yeah let's humour them and go along with it, maybe they'll actually give us some credit this time." (he laughs again) "They try to dominate the governing yet they can't even control their own zone. Hypocrites. I'll propose that they allow us to head the new government, if not well consider it failed. They can't control their half of Torontia with a smaller population and if they expect to rule the entire nation, (he laughs yet again), they've got another things coming. Anyways Jared, I have some more stuff to do then I'm scheduled to be in Yakima in a couple hours. See you at the meeting tomorrow."

The snipers, now semi-cut off (some are in pockets together, some aren't even surrounded, others aren't being challenged as they're hid,) begin to mount a counter attack. The security group escorting the snipers (around 30 soldiers, lightly armed) begin to fire off RPG's and mortars.

While the counter attack is getting in motion the snipers begin to detonate the remote controlled claymore mines they had deployed in the area in an attempt to gain more casulties.

The RPGs and the mortar rounds cause some minor shrapnel injuries, but fail to do any damage to the Amestrian positions. The claymores go off without injuring anyone, the Amestrians having positioned themselves away from those areas suspected of being booby-trapped.

The two B-52s come over the area and begin to drop their 70,000 lb of bombs upon the heights.

19-11-2005, 01:58

As the B-52's were discovered, the snipers fled through the gaps in the Amestrian peremeter caused by their avoidance of the claymore fields. Escaping off into the wilderness (while being covered by other, undiscovered snipers) they simply ran as the explosions behind them killed close to 30 of their fellow snipers (and security forces.)

Presidential Residence,
Port Angeles,
The Amestrian Zone of Torontia

President Burns was frustrated. He paced around his office like a caged lion trying to escape. He glared at those surrounding him. General Gran stood in front of him.

"Tell me General, why has Amestria failed to fulfill the obligations it made to me... I was promised the position as Torontia's undisputed leader, and while I am the leader, my leadership is not undisputed!"

General Grans reply did not betray his impatience. "Mr. President, we have been over this, Saint Fedski was pulling out its forces when we installed your administration here. When it became clear that The Lone Alliance nuclear threat had passed, Saint Fedski decided to stay. There was nothing we could do..."

"We should have moved against them while we had superiority in the number of troops and aircraft, but Amestria vetoed it!"

"We are not in Torontia to wage war; we are here for Peacekeeping and Restructuring. We are working towards the peaceful unification of the Torontian State, but you will have to compromise..."

"Yes, yes, we have been over this. I would be willing to accept a weakened office and an equal voice for Keanes faction in Parliament, but Keanes must step down from all claims of National Authority. He can be the governor of Seattle, no more!"

"We will convey that in any talks on the subject. Excuse me sir, but this discussion does not relate to why I am here."

"Oh, yes! General Gran, how on earth did your forces lose control of the Northern Border?"

"Our troops are here for Peacekeeping, not conquest. The Torontian and Amestrian border forces lacked the necessary heavy equipment, even though I requested it be flown over. Our forces came under artillery and rocket attack, something they were not equipped to face... Needless to say, the responsible officials at the Defense Department are in the process of being removed... There are already steps being taken to remedy the situation. Another 100,000 Amestrian combat troops are being flown in, with heavy equipment. Tanks, heavy artillery, surface to surface missile batteries, est! They will secure Torontia's Northern Border and prevent any additional foreign penetration."

The Torontian Minister of Defense then spoke. "Mr. President, I am pleased to announce that in the last month the Torontian Armed Forces managed to recruit/reincorporate an additional 200,000 men. This brings our total Torontian troop strength to well over a million. These new troops will free up our more experience forces for anti-insurgent activities in BC. Yallak and Saint Fedski are also sending forc..."

"Saint Fedski's contribution of 1700 troops is pathetic! Don't you dare call that a force!"

"Yes Mr. President!"

"It seems the problem will soon be under control. General, I ask that you keep me informed as to every daily development in BC until all combat operations have ceased."

"Yes Mr. President!" General Gran saluted, even though he did not have to. Having no further reason to remain, he then departed. The President continued to converse with his staff.

"Moving onto the issue of the local elections, we have the census and the registration drives are..."

General Ferdinands office

"What's this?" He asked himself as he checked is mailbox. "I hope they aren't asking for my resignation. I certainly couldn't live without my precious army, my baby, my child, my life..

Ferdinand turned around and walked back into his office while slipping his fingers under a loose edge of the envelope.

"SHIT" he shouted as the blood dribbled down his index finger. He had a papercut. "God damned f*cking shit damn it. F*ck this."

He sat down behind his desk which stored an envelope opener. He used his uncut right hand to open the drawer. As soon as it had opened just enough, novelty snakes were propelled out and right into his face. Ferdinand jumped right off his chair and toppled over backwards behind it, landing hard on the floor. In the bottom of the drawer, on a little piece of paper was a note. Ferdinand read it aloud: "Might want to get some ice for your behind Sir. You certainly didn't think all the tricks you pulled wouldn't come back to haunt you."

"That damn woman. She's going to be the death of me. Anyways back to this package." He reach into his drawer again and pulled out the opener which he used to slice the lip of the envelope off.

"Looks like I've got a job." He thought. "I will lead a division of Torontian soldiers, and a brigade from North Saint Clair. Holy shit! I'll also have 400 aircraft from the PAF. I'll give General Fedora a call and see what's going on."

It had begun. Imperial transport craft began to ferry the first units across the channel and into the BC area. The crossing operation was to take roughly four hours and by the end of it there would be two hundred thousand Yallakian soldiers in BC.
The insurrection would surrender or be completely annihilated. On the lead craft, General Forge contacted the Amestrian government.

“I have begun moving troops into the BC area. Our cleansing mission will begin tomorrow morning. Soon, no rebel will be left alive or free.”

General Maximus Obliqus walks into the office with a single sheet of paper in his hand. He had scrawled some notes on it in barely legible handwriting.

"Sean I have recieved a message via secure line that North St. Clair can now contribute much more to our security force. By the end of the week, they say they can add four more corps, in addition to the 2 they already have here, their entire operational air force and their entire navy. I have given my approval and Admiral Murphy has given his. All we need is your's."

"I think it's an excellent idea, but I have to confer with my staff before I make a decision, how long do we have?"

"How long do you need?"

"A couple days."

5000 Amestrian troops storm the heights, using grenades and heavy explosives to flush any remaining insurgents out. No prisoners are taken.

The other 5000 Amestrians spread out into search and destroy teams, searching for any insurgents who may have fled.

Very few insurgents were killed in this new raid; as anyone who couldn't escape was killed in the bombraids. Nonetheless, 5 security operators (dudes with P90's, not snipers) were cut off behind enemy lines and killed.

The insurgents who escaped into the woods were mostly gone by the time the Amestrian's even made it TO the woods. Escaping through river valley's, across small mountains, and through tunnels; there were very few new casulties.

The Empire will take responsibility for the captured Amestrians. They will be picked up by a helicopter from the fleet shortly and Taken to Torontia and handed over to the Occupation authority.

However we must warn Stoddenia – do not throw accusations about Amestria around without hard proof or you will place your nation in among others like Kravania and Hataria – outcast by the international community for your arrogance.

With all prisoners loaded aboard the troller, the gangplank was lifted and the rope was tossed back aboard the ship. The troller slowly pulled out of the harbor.*

*Meanwhile, the members of the factfinding mission finally made it to the Yallak zone in Torontia. Once there they contacted the Yallak forces and prepared for their extraction from Yallak, report completed and in their possession. It would inform the government of Stoddenia that the insurgency was not a homegrown effort, and therefore could not be supported.*

[New TPLA (Torontian People's Liberation Army) Offensive]

In the initial days of the Tanakis exile, the huge arms stores in Northern Torontia were all by emptied. Not by Torontian soldiers, but by local civilians who looked to keep them and their families safe and defend against whatever had scared the mighty dictator away. Torontia had, for a long while, took up a position of extreme defense. On several occasions declaring the MASS use of mines to secure beaches. Thus, a large stockpile was always kept in store. But now if someone were to look at those arms dumps; they'd find empty rooms; maybe a lone AK of some sort, but NO mines.

That's because they were all in the hands of the TPLA.

They had been stolen en masse and placed (not active) anywhere they could be, caves, tree's, mountain hideouts; anywhere.

Now they were being put to use.

All across BC small groups of insurgents had been dressing in civilian clothes and watching Amestrian troop movements. Patrols, scout teams, regular movements, everything was made note of.

And now for the offensive...

Starting at one random day, 4 man teams of insurgents began to covertly infiltrate these lines, plant mines, and run away. A total of 250 insurgents helped in one way or another, mining ANYTHING suspected of Amestrian use. The mines were of all different kinds. Some were very small and would probably not even kill a soldiers. Other were large enough to take out a tank.

1000 mines had been set aside for this deployment; and one way or another, they WOULD be deployed.

[Secondary Objective]

As the insurgents that were setting the mines waited for their targets, they set up sniping zones and Light Machine Gun flanks to attack anyone that came into the zone after a mine was detonated.

Near Earth Orbit, Above Torontia, SlB03

The stealth blimp was perhaps the most important invention to EVER come out of McKagan engineering. Sure, the Ku-25 was an advanced aircraft. Unmanned Air Vehicles were popular, and Super Dreadnaughts destroyed naval fleets. But those were all things of yesteryear. Now militaries needed to support clandestine operations without getting caught. The Stealth Blimp, or SlB, did just that.

Working on the pricipal of a blimp means that the vessel floated; that's about all it had in common with the local Goodyear floating over a NASCAR race.

It had NO propulsion that produced a heat signature large enough to be picked up. Relying on electromagnetics to move itself around (other than getting off the ground and into the air, which is provided by more "normal" engines), it was the ultimate in stealth.

Originally being designed to drop Special Forces into hostile territory, that approach is hardly ever taken because of the fact that sometimes the precision guidance system doesn't go right, and the SF's end up crashing into Bob's barn at Mach 15.

Sitting above Torontia, it was both invisable to Air Search radar because of it's extreme altitude, and from space-bound satellites because of it's reflective "mirror" on the upperside. Not to mention the fact that, should it be discovered, nothing currently based in Torontia could fly high enough to knock it down.

So there, with it's crew feeling like gods, it opened its tactical drop doors. There, several, SEVERAL crates drops towards an extremly rural section of Northern Torontia. The crates, nothing that couldn't be purchased in a local Wal Mart, simply fell towards earth. Above the treelines, however, parachutes shot open and slowed the crates JUST enough so that they wouldn't explode on impact. The rubber pads that surrounded the crates did their job, bouncing the crates several metres back up into the air before they fell to roll around for several more moments. After it was clear these "shooting stars" wouldn't come down on them, a small group of insurgents excited the brush and began to remove the gear.

Among the shipment was RPG's, the sniper and LMG version of the M8, P90's, AK74's, and ammo, lots of ammo.

Results of the TPLA Offensive

-Vancouver-

The TPLA Offensive in Vancouver is a complete and unmitigated disaster. With 400,000 Yallak and Amestrian/TPG troops present, cooperating with local police, there are few breeches in security the insurgents could take advantage of. The removal of private automobiles from the city, checkpoints, martial law, curfews and continuing house-to-house searches make all operations nearly impossible. Most, on becoming active, are captured or killed.

Amestrian/TPG/Yallak losses:
KIA: 2
WIA: 12

TPLA losses:
KIA: 67
Captured: 40
Fled Vancouver for the countryside: 13

Overall Result in Vancouver: Vancouver becomes an insurgent free city (although one operating under a fortress mentality).

-Other Urban Areas-

The Offensive is more successful in other urban area due to the lesser Amestrian/TPG presence and the current absence of Yallak forces. However the landmines tend to fail in killing the Governments soldiers, who are trained in there detection and avoidance, while inflicting heavy casualties among civilians.

Amestrian:
KIA: 3
WIA: 14

TPG:
KIA: 11
WIA: 17

TPLA:
KIA: 5
Captured: 7

Torontian Civilians: 177 killed, 134 wounded

Torontian National Congress Parties Headquarters,

Amestrian Zone of Occupation

TPG Vice President Mitsune Konno walked down the narrow basement hallway. As large as this building was, it had become cramped. She found the door she had been looking for and opened.

There on the other side sat a man on his bed. He just sat there, his head in his hands. He was a small man; most would consider him effeminate if it were not for the air of menace that surrounded him. The walls of his room where covered in illegible calk scribbles. In the corner lay several pictures of Tanakis, torn to shreds.

"Mr. Isshiki..."

He spoke with quite rage. "I'll make them regret it, all of them! Every one of those true believers who created the New Order. And I'll kill anyone who calls me unnatural..."

"Makoto Isshiki, by order of President Burns, you are hereby assigned the position of Presidential envoy and Governor General to the BC region, tasked with suppressing the growing pro-Tanakis insurgency and any other rebel groups."

Makoto looked up in surprise. He could not believe his ears. Behind him, Konno caught a glimpse of the family pictures all laid out on the bed. She had seen them before, photos of his partner Harold, his two daughters, his brother, his brother’s family, and his parents. All long dead...

Makoto got up and walked up to Konno, gently taking her hand. His voice was a whisper. "Thank you, thank you so very much!"

Mitsune Konno relayed the rest of her message and then left. She wondered about what they had decided to unleash.

After arriving in Centralia and making contact, it took only a few minutes for a party of Imperial soldiers stationed in the town to reach the Stoddenians. All piling into an IFV, they headed Southwest.

After a 15 minute drive, they arrived at a crude military base. Barbed wire, sandbags and wooden fences cordoned off about a square kilometer of land. The IFV passed through the security checkpoint and headed into the compound. Off to the right were round dirt helipads and to the left were temporary barracks and command posts. A big Radar tower rose out of the ground next to a large tent away from the rest, near the helicopters. The IFV stopped outside.

Announcement from the Torontian Provisional Government (Vancouver, BC)

The new Governor General of BC, Makoto Isshiki, has issued an amnesty for all members of the Torontia Socialist Union. To qualify they must meet three obligations.

1. Surrender to TPG forces.

2. Turn in/surrender their weapons.

3. Sign a statement promising to never again take up arms against the Torontian government and instead seek change through the political process.

The offer is extended to the organizations leadership, even Mark Bovern, if they disarm and agree to join the political process.

"They are offering amnesty to us? Mark Bovern said looking over the transcript of the recent announcement. "Do you think it's sincere?" Came one of the others, "I know alot about Makoto Isshiki, he's not the type who would double cross us, he had lost much to the new order, as the rest of us had also." Mark said, "He, in his way, is honorable." "But how are we going to go back, and even if he is honorable, whats to stop an Amestrian Tank from just shooting us as we approch and claim that we were armed, besides the trucks are dead, isn't that Right Johan?" Some person poked their head up from one of the many smoking Engines of the trucks that pulled them out of the city. "Yeah these things are torn up pretty bad, doubt they'll go a mile unless I can repair them, that'll take about a week." "Guess they'll have to come here," Mark Bovern said. "We should be able to defend ourselves in case someone double crosses us here, I only hope that they can agree with it."

-Broadcast from The TSU-
This is Mark Bovern, we recently heard the offer of amnesty, we would like to accept, except for the fact that we are currently immoble, if someone can honor us with their presance at the Seymour Lake Dam we will surrender there.

*Once the fact finders landed on the Yallak ship and rejoined Ambassador Erin, she was fully debriefed of the situation... She responded* Yes, this merely confirms our opinion on the matter. We will tell the Emperor that we are finished with Torontia, and they can fight the matter out themselves... *Erin appreared before the Emperor and informed him of the position of the Stoddenia Government with regards to Torontia.*

*Meanwhile, in Stoddenia, the Acting President, K. prepared to go on television once more. When the cameras came on, his message would be beamed to all television stations in the world simultaneously.*

Ladies and Gentlemen. Here in Stoddenia, we realize that we are talking to a world audience, not just the patriots and defenders of our Revolution in Stoddenia. This is important to mention, so the people of the world will not confuse our message.

First, we would like to welcome the socialist nations of the world to the Plenary of the Socialist International. We will begin on Monday, and after that date no more members of the plenary will be seated. We will stick to our agenda, and hope to conclude the Plenary in a week or a week and a half, if there is need for the extension.

Second. We would like to confirm reports that the President is alive. He is no longer in critical condition and we expect he will heal from his wounds with time. However, it is my sad duty to report that he is no longer competent to serve. He recorded a statement earlier today. *shot cuts to the President of Stoddenia, Docus, who is sitting up in a bed at the hospital. his breath is very labored and he coughs throughout the statement. It is very clear that he is in extreme pain.*

President of Stoddenia: Comrades of Stoddenia, I have decided that my long term of public service has come to an end. The bullets that nearly took my life collapsed my lung, shattered my shoulderblade, and penetrated my liver. Most importantly, the one that hit my chest also shattered my 5th and 6th Thoracic vertebrae. I am now paralysed from about the middle of my back down. The doctors had to insert ceramic rods into my back just to keep me upright.

I don't call for revenge. I don't know who did this, but that is not important. The fact is that the peace conference still continues. As for me, I must request from the people that I be allowed to retire from service as the President of this Nation. K is to take over as the President of the Republic. As soon as he dispatches his duties with the Socialist International Conference, he is to organize open elections throughout the country. He is then to resume his job as Secretary of State. He is to be disqualified from running for President, because he is far too valuable as the head of the State Department at this point.

I appreciate all of your cards and sympathies. When I am discharged from this hospital, I will make it a point to visit every community in Stoddenia and see you all. Until then, I recover and wish you all well.* the President, now former President, Docus smiles simply and the shot cuts back to K.*

K.: We will be opening nominations for President in two weeks. All labor unions, militia organizations, civic organizations, religious organizations (if there are any left in our country), social clubs, professional organizations, and interest groups are invited to submit names to be nominated as President of our nation. Nominations will be open for one week. Qualifications for office are that the nominee must have served in some capacity in the Rebel Army, be old enough to vote, and not have been associated in a professional way with the oligarchy. That officially disqualifies 1/16th of the population from running in this special election, but as our constitution disqualifies compradores anyway, this is nothing new. More details will follow.

Thirdly and lastly, our diplomats have reported back concerning the situation in Torontia. While we still condemn the political occupation of Torontia, we nonetheless have determined that the insurgency there is being conducted by outside agents, and therefore, we will not be extending any support. It has revealed itself to be yet another attempt to influence affairs in Torontia by a foreign power, and we cannot lend Stoddenic blood to that cause.

This is all for now.

-Seymour Lake Dam-
The Helicopter approched the dam from the south along Lilloet road, which had been littered with hastily tossed supplies from the fleeing Rebels a couple of wrecked Trucks and other debris would have made it impassible to regular vehicles, As they approched the clearing below the dam they passed over the strongest point of resistance, 3 Trees had been felled and Machine Guns had been set up behind them with RPGs laid in a row nearby, as they passed over the dam they noted snipers on the top of it. Finally there was the clearing where they were to land, surrounding it on all sides were members of the TSU army.

As the Helicopter touched down to land the various weapons were finally noticed, from M1 rifles, Ak-47s and Conscript AR-550, to Rpgs and even stolen Torontian Army M-16s. Their clothes were vairied from military uniforms to civilian clothes. In the very front of the Group stood a man in a combination of Civilian and Military clothes unarmed. As the helicopter doors opened Torontian Government soldiers spread out at the entrance in defensive postions, even though they were hopelessly out-gunned.

From the helicopter stepped out Makoto Isshiki, who with a look nodded to the Unarmed person, who was Mark Bovern. Bovern nodded back and then shouted. "Forces, disarm!!!" almost all at once all of the rebels removed their Clips from their guns and pulled their bullets from the chamber, setting the ammo onto the ground those who couldn't unload. (The RPGs and M1s) Set their guns on the ground instead. "Welcome, Makoto Isshiki I'm glad to finally meet one such as you in person." Mark Bovern said.

-North of Torontia, Rebel Staging area-"That'll do, that'll do." The Nod leader muttered watching from an encrypted signal. "Alright people pack it up." The torontian Rebels were already packing to possibly return to their homeland, The Nod Soldiers were packing most of the Unused equipment and were preparing to ship it to parts unknown.

-Convoy Hiding place-
The survivors of the first strike had taken shelter in a group of small caves after the first missile Barrage, they were soon joined by those that they had left behind to stall any persuers, upon hearing the message they planned on setting off to the Rally point before declaring their position.

"Why are we fighting", Isshiki asked, "why are we fighting? We are all socialists, we all believe in Democracy; we all opposed the New Order and Tanakis. So why are we fighting?"

He paused and looked around.

"There is no reason for us to be fighting. If anything, we should be combining our forces to fight (spoken with utter hatred) those who still support the New Order! You may not trust our allies, the Amestrians, but they have done a great deal for the Torontian people. When I fled Torontia for my life, they offered me sanctuary and much needed assistance. In truth, they have in the past been a little heavy handed, but that is in the past and now we look towards the future...

Once you disarm and sign the statement you will all be granted a full pardon and can return to your homes, or go somewhere else, whatever. You are all free to participate in this month’s local election and the National Elections scheduled for the second of next year... This man here..."

A man in a white suit with a blue armband steps out of the helicopter, accompanied by several aids.

"This man is from the Amestrian Ministry of Peace, and he has the necessary paperwork. Let us now end this destructive and futile conflict."

Torontia

21-11-2005, 03:48

Capital City of McKagan

Colonel Vader Tanakis was reading the latest reports of the situation in Torontia.

Over the last few months he watched with great interest as the nations which invaded Torontia upon his downfall were now in conflict with each other. Tanakis knew that the coalition made up to bring his government down and destroy the New Order would never last long. After each nation took it's share of Torontia, they would soon be at each others throats as they would do all they can to compete with and undermine their former coalition partners.

All of this, Tanakis thought, meant that he now had a window of oppurtunity to make his move and begin what he had been planning for years now.

To expel Yallak, Amestria, Saint Fedski and any other nation with a presence in Torontia and to restore himself and the New Order to power once again.

Tanakis knew, coming from a military background himself, that this task would be a long and expensive process, but he knew it was worth it and besides, he may not have another window of opportunity like he did now.

Fortunatly for Tanakis, he had 140 billion USD, that he took from Torontia when he fell from power and left the country.

Now this money would come in use as he knew that he needed to get weapons, lots of them. Manpower was not a problem for him, as in northern and eastern Torontia, he had been informed that there were around, potentially, 45,000 people who would take up arms for him and fight against the occupation forces. However, what these people had in their loyalty to the New Order and to Tanakis, they had neither money or any real access to weapons and above all else, they lacked leadership.

Tanakis could give them leadership and with his money, all the resources and support they needed to start the fight for Torontia's independence and the New Order.

Tanakis knew that his guerrilla campaign would have the best chance of starting off in the eastern regions of Torontia. Also, a mercenary group, led by a former US Marines commander called Ira Gaines was based in the former state of Idaho, which had no government and was home to numerous criminal organisations, terrorist groups and warlords.

Gaines had already been contacted by Tanakis and agreed to help in the guerrilla offensive in the east of Torontia.

The plan was to use mercenaries to capture several small towns and numerous villages in the eastern regions and to secure the airbases and civil airstrips located there. The purpose of that was to clear the way for the deployment of Tanakis's new found ally in the guerrilla campaign, the Kraven Corporation. The Kraven Corporation's support was crucial to the plan and so the very first guerrilla attacks woul involve these airstrips, to allow for Kraven troops to join the fight.

Tanakis then stood up and pulled open the top left draw and took out a cellphone. The cellphone was on a secure line and it was the means by which Tanakis communicated with Gaines.

Tanakis walked towards his office window and stood, with a clear view of McKagan's capital below. He then dialed Gaines's number and waited to for him to pick up.

Gaines: Well then, do you wish for me to go ahead with the agreed plan that you sent me in your last e-mail?

Tanakis: Yes, I will send three more e-mails to you, each giving in detail, what you are to do and what objectives you will have, to be divided between primary objectives, which need to be meet at all cost and secondary objectives which should help us build up to the next stage in our campaign.

Gaines: Agreed. Before we end communication, I would like to talk about my payment. This will cost you 150 million USD, with a 20 million deposit to be put down before we go into action. The deposit will be refunded upon our completion of what you ask of us.

Tanakis: That is no problem, in fact Ill have the deposit wired to your account in Geneva within the next half hour. Although we have made this agreement for you to be involved in the operations we discussed, I may need your services after your job is done, with new payment of course.

Gaines: Thats not going to be a problem, I was going to take up another offer after working with you, but if you could add an extra 70 million USD to the price my other client is offering, then Ill leave that and stay the course in Torontia.

Tanakis: Ira, you know me well enough by now, money is never an issue with me. I can meet whatever price you set. All I want is for you to do the agreed upon operations.

With that, Tanakis cut off and walked into his living room to pour himself a scotch and then sat down to watch the lastest news on CNN.

In his office, Tanakis went to his desk and logged on to begin the transfer of the 20 million USD deposit that he owed Ira Gaines.

After the money was wired he sent the first of the three encrypted e-mails to Gaines, regarding the details of the first operations of Tanakis's guerrilla campaign.

News from Amestria, Broadcast by APR (Amestria Public Radio)

Today General Basque Gran, Senior Commander of the Amestrian Occupation Authority, flew to Amestria for a public ceremony presided over by President Boon. The President personaly bestowed upon General Gran the Amestrian State Medal of Honor, the State's highest military honor, and promoted him to the rank of Full General (General of the Armies). With this promotion General Gran becomes one of Amestria’s highest-ranking Military Officers. This establishes General of the Armies Basque Gran as the Supreme Amestrian Military Commander within the Torontian Theater.

The official statement describing the reasons for his promotion reads as follows.

"I President Boon, Chief Executive of the Kings Estate*, do hereby advance General Basque Gran to the rank of General of the Armies do to his unmatched qualifications and years of distinguished service in the King's Military."

The official statement for the State Medal of Honor attributes the award to; "...General Basque Gran's exceptional success in Torontian Peacekeeping operations, his successful establishment of the Provisional Government, his defeat of Red Tide forces in the Amestrian-Red Tide War, his negotiations towards ending that war, his coordination with the Empire of Yallak in Torontian Peacekeeping, and for his success in reestablishing order in Vancouver (BC)..."

After the ceremony General of the Armies Basque Gran is rumored to have had dinner with Centralist Party Candidate Kasumi Liscel. If true, this would signal the Militaries private endorsement of her candidacy and would prove a significant boost to her chances of victory.

The General of the Armies plans to return to Torontia after a brief period of leave.

*Amestria does not actually have a King, that is vestigial legal language. When they refer to King they mean The State.

-Seymour Lake Dam-
"Indeed, its over, but we had our reasons, we had reasons to fear, but while we still share no love for General Gran and President Boon, especially after the President's offer of bribery to capture me and prehaps execute me." Mark said giving a glare to the Amestrian Peace delegate. "But times have changed, this new group, of those... New Order Supporting.****s, "He paused to calm himself. "Are more powerful then even we expected, North Torontia has become a death-trap."

He paused for a moment, "While many of us will return to our homes and wait for the rebuilding effort to begin, some of us beg to be put back on the lines, many of us have lost everything to The New Order, just as yourself, give us a chance to prove ourselves. We have many supplies outside the Nation and we can boast 1500 Strong outside the nation, but for now let us begin the peace." With that the torontians began to lay out their guns in a place that they had marked earlier. After laying it down they began to line up to speak with the Amestrian Peace delagate and his Aides.

While this was happening Mark Bovern motioned to Isshiki and pointed to a nearby table, "There is something gravely important that must be shown, I will present the evidence and you can deliever it to President Burns." He walked over to the Table with Isshiki following. On the table was a map laid out of North Torontia, covered in circles and lines of varing colors. Mark pointed out a lone Red line extending half way through the map. "Here, is what you'll be facing, while you have this road to connect witht the northern border," He pointed out a narrow black line leading to the border, "This red Line is the is a huge group of strongholds for the TPLA, these mountains," He said pointing out 4 different mountain peaks, "Are filled with stolen weapons, some even armored New Order Vehicles, they even dismantled the old Coastal SAM sites that were put in and hid the launchers somewhere."

Makoto Isshiki looked over it, "And these?" He said pointing to a pair of clusters of Red Dots, "We don't know, but they did alot of movement through there and they were up to something, since we had a *shudder* truce, they ignored us but they did something, this won't be easy for anyone, they are somehow sneaking in large ammounts of weapons and Supplies, unlike us who were forced to breach the border they did it silently somehow." "Our guys are hid here," He pointed to two small circles, they'll eventually need extraction but they'll head for a small town and secure it first you can pick them up once they contact you.

"But this TPLA, they are very focused, I personally think Tanakis is on his way back to personally lead a counterstrike." "I hope I can make a shot at him when that happens." Mark said. "As do I," Makoto Isshiki answered. Mark walked off to give his information while Isshiki looked over the map some more.

Once Bovern had returned from giving his information Isshiki looked up from the map.

"Yes, this information will be very helpful to us... I will act upon it once I return to Vancouver... Now on the subject of your members who wish to join the Torontian military..."

He suddenly took Bovern aside...

"I'm afraid it would ruffle too many feathers for your people to join the official Torontian Military, but I have a better offer. As Governor General of BC I have a great deal of power and resources. I'm going to set up my own private group, which can be run without the Amestrians looking over my shoulder. If you and your people join me we can bring a Hell on Earth to all those who support the New Order..."

"General Tanakis... It appears you've gotten yourself into quite a mess" The Reichmarshal spoke, his eyes obscured by the black peak of his cap, and his frame shrouded by the shadow of the room, strange it seemed however that the shadow seemed to follow the Corporations secret police wherever they went...

flanking the darkened shadow of the Reichmarshal were two red lenses the peirced the darkness with a blood red glow...

In even the most harded troops, who'd seen some of the most brutal combat, could never stare a Capitol Police trooper in the face, something about these inhuman monsters, chilled them to the bone, scared them, turned them from hardened veterans into wimpering children... there was something about those lenses... artifical eyes for something that was not ment to be..

The Reichmarshal awaited the response of Tanakis, from there they could begin the discussion as to the Terms of.... "Contract"

"Then we are in full agreement, we will help you in your operation, but it'll help if you don't let them get rid of the guns we just turned in, but we must wait until we are in a safer location, this area is un secured." Bovern said.
"We will wait until you have returned to the city." Makoto Isshiki replied. "Okay then."

-Vancouver, BC sector of Torontia- A few hours later.
As the final group of TSU rebels returned to the city to eventually return to their homes, Makoto Isshiki, with Mark Bovern, walked to his office, after they both sat down Makoto Isshiki began to speak.

"I plan on setting up a full anti New Order army, an army that won't be under the control of others or any oversight group." Makoto Isshiki. "So you're getting ready to lead this operation against them?" Bovern asked. "Yes, those who follow such a horrible group deserve nothing but death." Makoto Isshiki said. Mark spoke, "No arguements here, but you'll be able to do it more effectively if we can get the rest of the TSU to unite, ask them to open the border for our one Convoy, have them escort them if need be, there is enough equipment for you to find and finish off these scum without having to bother the main Government." Mark Bovern, "I'll see what I can do." Makoto Isshiki said. "We are fully ready to follow you, just contact me whenever when you're ready." Bovern said with a salute to Isshiki as he walked back out.

[Reaction]

Even with the massive failure, the TPLA gained much more than it would have should it killed masses of Amestrian soldiers. Experience. Machine Gunners escaped, Snipers didn't die; it was an important milestone. And FINALLY they were getting better weapons M8's had been airdropped in, and they would prove important in the next offensive.

New Offensive

The M8 Rifle was not only an important... well... rifle, but it had something more important. They carried 25mm grenade launchers. Those launchers, however, weren't the normal 'explode when they hit something' variants. They were programmed to explode INSIDE something. Useful for clearing rooms (ie, they crash through a window THEN explode,) they would be the key component of the next stage of the offensive.

Across the rural area in southern BC small units of insurgents began to move. With P90's and M8 rifles, they got into positions along roads. A total of nearly 200 insurgents prepared for yet another offensive. Incase armor showed up, RPG's were always an option. On top of that, they were too near convoys for close air support.

The mission? They fired 25mm grenades into the cabs of trucks. Going to kill convoy soldiers and then destroy equipment; they would fire into the truck, killl the crew, and then set it on fire.

The rebel offensive meets with some surprising early successes thanks to the new weapons. They harass several convoys, damaging vehicles and killing several Torontian soldiers. The greatest success comes with the destruction of several troop transport trucks, one with its passengers still inside. However, few Amestrian troops are killed as the majority of weapons are ineffective against their armored personnel carriers (that and the majority of troops in the convoys are Torontian).

Torontian Casualties:
KIA: 24
WIA: 27

Amestrian Casualties:
KIA: 2
WIA: 5

The raids soon become ineffective as convoys are either grouped together to form large defensive units or discontinued along the threatened roads; supplies being dropped in by air.

Amestrian/Torontian Provisional Government Response

Governor General Isshiki, upon returning to Vancouver, orders the launching of an immediate counter offensive. 100,000 Torontian soldiers proceed to scour the countryside for insurgents and weapons.

Isshiki delivers the information provided to him by the TSU to the Amestrian Occupation Authority.

Mark pointed out a lone Red line extending half way through the map. "Here, is what you'll be facing, while you have this road to connect witht the northern border," He pointed out a narrow black line leading to the border, "This red Line is the is a huge group of strongholds for the TPLA, these mountains," He said pointing out 4 different mountain peaks, "Are filled with stolen weapons, some even armored New Order Vehicles, they even dismantled the old Coastal SAM sites that were put in and hid the launchers somewhere."

Makoto Isshiki looked over it, "And these?" He said pointing to a pair of clusters of Red Dots, "We don't know, but they did alot of movement through there and they were up to something...

Amestrian spy satellites are dispatched to observe the area. Anything, which appears to be a TPLA open-air encampment or anti-air sight, is targeted with a cruise missile strike. 20 F-16s are dispatched with bunker buster bombs to destroy the marked underground weapons stores. 10 B-59s follow and carpet-bomb the area.

The 100,000 Amestrian combat troops stationed in Vancouver move north, carrying out anti-insurgent sweeps and moving into fortified positions on the border. The TSU forces near the area of combat are contacted and extracted.

Additional TPG Military Movements

Makoto Isshiki departs Vancouver and with 25,000 Torontian soldiers and former members of the TSU reestablishes the headquarters of the Governor General at the city of Vanderhoof (located in the very center of BC).

The TSU convoy is escorted to Vanderhoof by Torontian troops.

Several former Torontian military airbases are taken over and fortified. They are once again prepared for use.

The Seymour Lake Dam is fortified.

Additional Amestrian Activities

Construction on the hanger complexes at Jefferson County International Airport by the Amestrian Military is complete.

The Amestrian Occupation Authority, with the cooperation of the Torontian Provisional Government, announces a 28 billion-reconstruction program for the Amestrian zone of Torontia, aimed at job creation and economic renewal.

TPLA soldiers had, for a very long time, watched various targets of interest inside the cities. Not engaging them, simply watching. It was feared that the Torontian economy would find some way to become powerful. This would give Amestria bragging rights and more propaganda. Thus, a McKagan Communications Operatives had gotten the word to the DART team. Fix it.

Late one night a group of TPLA insurgents rushed covertly into the city. Entering a highway underpass, they talked about the plan.

"So, we're bombing WHAT target?"

"A car dealership. The biggest one in the area that still has cars. Once the economy comes up again they will HAVE to have civlian cars, or it would implode upon itself once more."

"Got it. Squads 1-3 are going to advance up the highway in the brush to the side, 4 and 5 are going to flank through that apartment complex." the team commander pointed off.

The group of 50 insurgents rushed off into their various positions under the cover of night. Attacking the car dealership wouldn't be easy, but it wouldn't be terribly hard.

Eventually squads 1-3 made their way to their position. A flood canal to the west of the dealership. The other two squads were in their position, after avoiding the local populace by heading down a similar structure.

Soon, they prepared to open up on the dealership with RPG's, grenades, and mortars.

[Airstrike Losses]

All and all, the airstrikes were probably NOT as sucessful as they would have liked. Around 20 SAM trucks were taken out, along with alot of old AK's with their ammunition that was being stored there while it wasn't in use. The loss of life was large, around 79 (primarily because you hit during a cooldown period for a fighting force,) but they were merely foot soldiers, and in the growing army of thousands who supported the TPLA, they could be replaced.

Counter Insurgency Losses

In the first counter insurgency operation the TPLA learned alot. 1, don't comit partial forces to fighting the Amestrians and not everything. 2) Don't fight the Amestrians in a fixed position. and 3) When something blows up, don't look up.

With simply watching the first raid, they realized they could easily run from the Amestrians and avoid capture.

Still, a total of 30 FOOT SOLDIERS were captured, and 11 Junior Officers.

"Tell the President that the complex for the Stealth fleet is completed and I expect the B-2s and the B-3 to be dispatched to Torontia as soon as possible. I also expect a significant increase in troop levels..."

"General, an additional 500,000 are being prepared for deployment. The Torontian Occupation has the full support of the Government."

The Halberdgardian Central Intelligence Agency Compound, Somewhere in Halberdgardia, 1000 Local Time

Director of Central Intelligence Donovan Whitling, undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in Halberdgardia, brooded in his dimly-lit office. Somehow, despite the fact that it was still morning, his office was still darkened by long shadows and odd lighting that gave the entire room an eerie atmosphere. It was enough to unnerve every visitor except Dominic Hatcher.

Hatcher was the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, and he'd been serving under Whitling since the earliest days of the Kanos Administration. After more than twelve years on the job, he was used to dealing with Whitling.

Now, Hatcher stood before the massive mahogany wooden doors that led into Whitling's office. He breathed out a sigh, then entered.

As usual, Whitling had his larger-than-life chair, with its high back and deep recesses to hide its occupant, turned towards the small fireplace behind his desk. And as usual, before Hatcher could say a word, Whitling was already on to business.

"You're aware of the Torontian situation." It was a statement, not a question, and there was only one possible answer.

"Yes, Director Whitling."

"Then you know why you're here."

"I assume you're deploying a SOLE team to Torontia to rendezvous with the McKagan-sponsored rebels."

"Naturally. With that damned Yallak fleet gone, and with Amestria suffering ever-escalating casualties in their counter-insurgency fight, the time is ripe for the overthrow of the provisional government. Those greedy, imperialistic bastards will soon be bled dry, and public opinion will be turned against them."

"And Saint Fedski?"

Hatcher could almost see Whitling's wave of dismissal through the chair back. "They are disorganized, small, and resistant to cooperating with the Amestrians. They pose no threat to our operations."

"I see. I assume you will want me to begin work on this operation as soon as possible."

"Of course. Get to it."

"Yes, sir."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Two Hours Later

Colonel Jack Whittier slapped a new magazine into his M-32 "Quinn" assault rifle. It was a relatively advanced and available weapon, and as it wouldn't be widely distributed among the insurgents, it would be difficult to trace back to Halberdgardia, especially as Incorporated Ordnance Company, the Sarzonian firm that manufactured the M-32, had made sales of the rifle to many other nations. In fact, the M-32 could easily be mistaken for the Doomingslandian M-27A1 rifle on which it was based.

Whittier was a veteran of the HCIA's highly successful covert operation in the formerly corrupt communist country of Monitgnac. Whittier's Special Forces A-Detachments, along with an HCIA liaison team, had helped repulse an attempted coup by a military officer, then had driven out other imperialist powers attempting to take advantage of the chaos of the civil war, and then brokered a peace between the democratic rebels and the communist government, followed by the establishment of a reformed democratic socialist state. He had been nominated as a high-ranking foreign military advisor to the new regime, and even as a candidate for the new Premier of Monitgnac. He had turned down both to continue pursuing his career in Special Forces. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of the Halberdgardian Falcon, the highest military award in Halberdgardia, for his actions in Monitgnac, as well as several other Special Forces men that served under him.

Now, he was shipping out to Torontia to do what he did best: support revolution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Six Hours Later

The Gulfstream V touched down at Walker AFB, carrying Whittier and his five subordinates. They, and the crates of weapons they were bringing with them for the rebel soldiers, were hurried from the Gulfstream to the interior of Walker, and led to a briefing room, where a McKagan officer would likely give them their final briefing on their insertion via HALO jump from a Stealth Blimp. Presumably, Whitling had worked out a deal with his McKagan counterpart for the Halberdgardians' closest ally to loan them the use of this still highly-classified asset.

An IMAF Colonel walked towards the newly touched down HCIA plane.

"Hi, Colonel Farve here. The transit people here will be loading the materials into the Blimp soon, the hangar is over there. For security reasons, the only part of the blimp you'll see will be the side of it while walking between the command center and the unit itself. These security men," he motioned as a group of 4 men with Mila-21 Carbines walked towards him, "will escort you there, to the command center. In a few minutes we'll be preped for launch."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twenty minutes later the HCIA team, along with the IMAF crew (3 airmen,) and 4 more DART personnel; had been loaded into the Stealth Blimp. This one was fresh, it's electro-kinetic drive that made it such a potent means of transportation hadn't been on in several days. The personnel chamber was a cramped, armored chamber to the rear of the flight cabin, an ammo locker outside that held all the teams' weaponry, and a cargobay to the rear held the various gear (both the Halberdgardian package and a few more things IMAF was dropping in) in a door that would allow it to slide free towards the landing zone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just at two hours from the time the Stealth Blimp had departed Walker AFB, it slowly moved into position over Torontia. Prepping, the DART team members showed the HCIA agents to their High Altitude Jump gear, weaponry, and eventually, the launch chamber. The DART team lined in first, with their Hali-21 Rifles, and waited. This was the worst part of any mission, while the cargo dropped first (to ensure the members don't get hit by boxes going at Mach 12.) Eventually the green light at the top of the chamber came on, and the doors opened.

Here, the 10 men were sent flying out into the nothingness of high altitude jumpers. Floating around, as it seemed, only the first few of the members out could even begin to recognize the dots that were the boxes as they finally reached the top of the clouds. After a few moments, the members two passed through the clouds.

Just a few moments, or what seemed like hours later, the men touched down. This landing zone was one of the best scouted out in the entier nation, nowhere near Amestrian activity, yet semi-near the hideouts.

Just seconds after landing, a group of 10 insurgents rushed in upon the men, one of them oddly flashing an IMAF patch, showing to the team he was a member of the original DART team.

"Ok, let's move the gear into the cave just over that ridge, other's will move it from there. Oh, and i'm John Driver, the Sniper and Leiutenant of the DART team, nice to meet ya, Big Al."

He offered a handshake.

The situation was going to hell, was the image the media painted.

Or so it says. thought the leader of the nation's incumbent cabinet. Neo often laughed at those that believed that free press was better than a state-controlled one. And why did he laugh at them? Because just as the government had the power to censor things they did not want the public to hear, a free press had the freedom to choose what to publish and what not to.

The Yallakian (OOC: did I spell it right?) Navy was to follow suite as their ground forces had: "Leave the country, the only way to say 'Mission Accomplished' was to GET THE HELL OUT!" The situation reminded him of Iraq, when he was a younger lad. But at least it wasn't as bad.

With the Allegiance War's casualties overestimated, perhaps he could spare some men to find out what was occuring....

Operation Cleansweep - Insurgency destruction

IC: While the first elements of the Imperial Army ordered out of Torontia began to make their way to the Landing zones for pick up, General Forge began Operation Cleansweep with the troops now positioned in BC.

Across Southern BC, IFV's blocked off streets and deployed squads of Assault infantry who passed from house to house, confiscating weapons and arresting suspected terrorists, while armoured units formed defensive perimeters around the cities being searched - closing all traffic in and out.
In preparation for the complete destruction of the insurgency, the Imperial fleet begins massive missile bombardments of rural and mountain areas – randomly targeting mountains, small towns, forest areas or an spot that could hide an ambush, weapons cache or encampment - via imagery from the Amestrian satellites. The attack would last for many days firing several hundred missiles every hour.

General Forge sat in the back of an IFV not too far from the armoured perimeter surrounding the town she was currently clearing. Her two guards stood ever watchful as she made contact with the fleet.

“Commander. What’s the status of your attack?”
“Proceeding well, General. Fighter wings are preparing for launch now and will begin their attacks once our missiles have run out of targets. Prepare your forces to move in once the city has been checked.”
“Understood. We’ll be ready.”

The Yallakian attack was devastating... ish. Within the first hour of the attack, at least 350 insurgents were killed. From then on, however, the insurgents fled into caverns, valleys where the sheer size of the encampment would make finding them much harder.

The attacks did have their, in the PTLA's eyes, bright spots. Targeting small towns all across the area, it was for sure that at least 1000 civilians had been killed, and those who hadn't died had lost their homes, family members, everything.

Braving the storm, the John Driver (who is with the HCIA team and ammo in a small, unnoticed mountain cave) began to tape the damange to the nearest town; for use in futher propaganda.

"Negative, all operatives have been clear as of yesterday." "Good, Good, keep up information gathering, we'll be getting another shipment tonight, Juneau will be the drop off tonight." "Yes Sir."

-Vanderhoof Torontia-
The town had changed much since the Arrival of Governor General Isshiki and his troops, part of the western town outskirts were being redesigned as a military base and barracks and airfields were being constructed, to the south of the town the TSU were setting up their own less minor base of operations.
The TPG had been kind enough to provide them with surplus uniforms at least so they looked a little less shabby looking, however the very varied weapons of their group continued making them look a little odd. The main reasoning behind they're setting up in a seperate location is to prevent possible conflicts with the Torontian Soldiers, who just a few weeks ago, they were attempting to kill.

With the arrival of the Convoy and the fact that their other followers fled to get away from Yallak's over agressive attacks they were finally boasting around 5,000 soldiers and around 300 various Armed Vehicles. It wasn't much but it'll do for their purpose to aid the new Government.

It was ultimately a futile measure, as the Yallakians wouldn't be able to wipe out a significant amount of rebels to ensure their capitulation, and they weren't staying long enough to see it through. Whittier noticed Driver recording the battle below.

"Nice thinking, Lieutenant. I see you have an eye for insurgency operations. This will make some excellent propaganda. The sudden Yallakian withdrawal, too, lets us paint them as cut-and-run cowards."

Whittier motioned to one of his men, who silently crouched beside him.

"Get on the horn to HQ, let them know we've made contact with Mac. Also, I'd like you to get me some copies of that satellite imagery of the Seattle area." He raised his voice slightly and half-turned towards Driver, to indicate he was now talking to him as well. "I think I have some big targets you and your boys might be interested in for a future strike."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, back at the camp, the rebels were discovering the nice new presents the Halberdgardians had brought them: dozens of AT-4, SMAW, and Javelin anti-tank weapons with hundreds of missiles, as well as Stinger and Starstreak anti-air weapons with the requisite rounds. The weapons would allow the rebels to hit the Amestrian convoys with sufficient firepower to do some serious damage, as well as fend off any air cover the Amestrians might field to protect them.

We've also heard rumors that they're going to support future convoys with helicopter's or close in air support. That's ok, once this missile strike stops we'll go fuck them up again. In the mean time I think it'd be best if we got comfortable here, because if that Yallak fleet is doing what I suspect and firing their entier missile stockpile into us, we're going to be here for a while."

General Gran, realizing that the Yallak bombardment would force them into isolated valleys, caves and caverns, orders a new anti-insurgent offensive operations to take place entirely in those areas.

100,000 Amestrian combat troops accompanied by tanks, heavy artillery and air support begin a detailed search of each of the valleys, surrounding it and cutting off all escape before moving in for the kill. 100,000 Torontian troops begin detailed searching of all caverns/caves. Upon searching/clearing a cave/cavern, they seal them with high explosives.

"Colonel, sir!" It was one of the SF men Whittier had brought with him.

"Yes, Jackson?"

"Sir, we're receiving reports that Amestrian forces are searching outlying areas for our forces, assuming that we'd be in hiding during the Yallakian bombardment."

"Son of a bitch," Whittier spat. "Lieutenant Driver, I think we need to get the hell out of here, now. We need to stay on the move to avoid the missiles and the Amestrian troops. We should head to the rural areas to escape detection, then we can return to attack."

[Response to Attack]

As tanks rolled in, most of the insurgents were caught off guard. Still, though, they would rather die that be captured, most of them, anyway. Some ran out of the valleys into the areas that were being bombarded with missiles (where the Amestrians wouldn't be guarding), some were shot by the Amestrians.

However, the number of hiding places for the insurgents was limitless, and the Amestrians entered only a few.

Dead: 72
Captured: 50

The insurgents manage to escape and remain on the move, avoiding missile fire for the most part and then hiding in unknown caves, and sneaking back into cities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Driver wasn't exactly happy at the fact he was having to abandon his position, but he would just follow the HCIA team anyway.

"This area isn't usually targeted in searches, but now that they know where we AREN'T at, it would be easier for them to end up here now. Your satellite's probably know the area better than me," Driver looked at Whittier, "You've got point." He smirked.

He finally took his laptop from the rock it was on, turned it off and shut it; before storing it he made sure to alert the other DART team that he was moving.

Driver came out of the cave with his P90 at the ready. Trusting the HCIA agents would be behind him, he quickly ran up a hill and down the other side. The "creek/river thing" was now nearly 900 meters away. The way there was very, very closed. With many trees, in that entier distance, the river was clearly visable on the way down the slope. Before getting to "ground" level, Driver slowed to check his surroundings. They were coming upon heavy covering. With shrubs and trees everywhere he took a low stance as he advanced. He kept swinging from side to side to make sure no one was around, and turning around to make sure the HCIA agents were keeping up with him. Coming to the river Driver stopped inside the coverage to check his surroundings once again, covered, he looked for a hiding spot. A giant waterfall caught his attention off in the distance. He knew that sometimes caves existed behind them, so it was an obvious choice.

Stealthing towards it, he realized there wasn't a cave there. Instead he pulled the HCIA agents off to the side in a semi-paniced mode. "Ok, we've got to get out of the open any ide-" he paused as a small opening in the rockface caught his attention. Only a few feet across, it looked promising. Climbing inside, he realized it opened up into a much larger cavern. On earlier scouts he had thought this giant rock formation was solid, it was obviously not. Motioning for the HCIA people to follow him, he realized that it was a massive cavern with multiple "rooms," and even another level which, via an entrance made by a trees roots, provided multiple areas to overlook the river valley below. Driver quickly decided this was his new home, and moved a large rock into the opening; making it appear solid.

He turned to Whittier. "I hope you guys get communications in here."

Amestrian Occupation Authority Central Command,
Office of Supreme Commander Basque Gran,
Port Angeles

Gran examined the disassembled weapon on his desk. It was a M8 Rifle with a 25mm grenade launcher, taken off a captured BC insurgent. The pre-collapse Torontian Military did not use this model, nor is it likely they had any stores. The insurgents were somehow continuing to receive foreign aid. BC was under naval quarantine and the border was closed, nothing could get in by land or sea... Sure, it was plausible that the weapons had been carried over the mountains on foot, but that did not seem likely... They were being smuggled in somehow by air! Gran turned on his speakerphone.

"Roy..."

"Yes General!"

"I want constant air patrols over the entirety of the BC airspace by the Torontian Airforce."

"Yes General!"

Gran turned off his speakerphone. No matter how stealthy something was, nothing in this world was perfect, it was only a matter of time before they found what ever it was that was supplying the rebels. In the meantime, new counter insurgency tactics would have to be adopted. The current bombing campaign had forced them to take shelter and assume short-term vulnerabilities, but it has no long-term potential for success. Attempting to destroy the insurgency through indiscriminate bombing was like trying to cure cancer by hitting the patient with a blunt instrument, it would probably make things worse. Operations would have to become more targeted! What had to be practiced in BC was Chemotherapy.

New Amestrian Military Movements

Predators (unmanned observation drones) are launched by the Amestrian fleet to monitor all open rural areas of the BC area. Any large suspicious movement of people or vehicles would be reported directly back to Central Command and:

1. Those suspicious forces would be immediately intercepted by nearby Amestrian/TPG forces.

In the event however, that Amestrian/TPG forces would be unable for whatever reason to intercept...

2. Those suspicious forces would be destroyed by an airstrike/cruise missile strike.

The Torontian Airforce begins detailed patrols across BC airspace. Twenty-five patrols, each patrol composed of two F-16s.

The TPG Military begins integrating the BC police into its ranks. The police force is provided with military grade weapons, body armor and begins taking part in anti-insurgent operations.

[Insurgents Captured]

In every raid, the enemy (generic term for Amestrian, Yallak, or Torontian) soldiers captured SOMEONE. Usually only a few people, this began to mount. Although all the insurgency's officers managed to get away and stay on the move, an obscene number of 179 footsoldiers were captured.

But the TPLA wasn't going quitely. Looking to do damange while being attacked, they looked to gun down the Predators with Stinger Missiles and fired on any Amestrian vehicle approaching with RPG-16 Anti-Tank weapons; even before being captured they would continue to put any round available into the enemy formations.

[Response to new Predator's]

With the unmanned Predators drones in the area, it was a perfect time to test the new Stinger missile systems in the area. Before many insurgents are killed the order to only travel in small groups is passed around. Regardless, looking to play on vulnerabilities such as not knowing there was ANY AA presense in the area, many positions across the countryside are used to fire a high number of Stinger's at each Predator. Having a HIGH number of Stinger's stockpiled meant that any potential Predator could be SPAMMED with them.

The Missiles are utterly ineffective. The stingers range is only 15,700 feet. The Predator, which is capable of rapid climbs, fly’s at an altitude of 16/17,000 feet (with a max ceiling of 45,000 feat), is untouchable to those gun wielding peasants.

The stinger missiles only alert the Predators to the insurgent’s presence. Amestrian/TPG forces then move into the area or a cruise missile/airstrike is employed.

[Response to Raids]

The first of the strategically coordinated raids were deadly, killing at least a dozen insurgents. Then, however, the insurgents began to launch strategically placed raids themselves. As Amestrians began their searches, snipers began to hide out in the valleys and take shots at any Amestrians soldiers they could view.

Amestrian Response

The effect of the snipers is minimal thanks to the assistance of armored personnel carriers, tanks, and body armor.

KIA: 11
WIA: 17

The Amestrian forces, having surrounded the valleys before each search (cutting off escape), respond to any hostile fire with artillery and missile bombardments.

[New Offensive]

The time for the insurgents to strike fear into the hearts of any Amestrian military commander had came. With the new weapons that had came in, they could challenge ANY vehicle in Torontia. With AT-4, SMAW, and Javelin Rocket launchers that were designed to take out tanks, the insurgents had a much greater operating potential.

In the last round of convoy attacks, the Amestrian convoys had been spread out, but the TPLA didn't have the high powered weapons to do damange against superior Amestrian armored units. Now, however it had changed.

Now the Amestrian units were grouped together, in larger packs. This made for easy targets. A much larger group of insurgents had been assembled, as well.

Nearly 500 insurgents looked to ambush the formations. Targeting ALL Amestrian armored units with Javelin Anti-Tank Weapons, the transport units with AT-4's, and any air support with Stinger missiles. To cover any infantry that would dismount after their vehicle was potentially destroyed, the 25mm grenade launchers were once again brought to the battlefield.

TPG/Amestrian Response

The first convoy attack is a huge success for the insurgents. They decimated an unsuspecting TPG convoy, killing/injuring many TPG soldiers. Few Amestrians are killed as (I posted before) few actually take part in the convoys. Still the number of Amestrian troops is significantly higher.

TPG Casualties:
KIA: 34
WIA: 12

Amestrian Casualties:
KIA: 12

There is however, no second attack. After such devastating losses the TPG convoys restrict their movements to non-forested open areas with Predator observation support. Ironically, Torontia has many open areas without any form of cover for the TPG/Amestrians to take advantage of due to Tanakis's policies, which had encouraged deforestation... The bare Torontian landscape Tanakis had created would serve to frustrate his supporters.

TORONTIAN REPUBLICAN ARMY

Official Communique

Today marks the birth of a new era and a new dawn for our great nation and our beloved people.

As President of the Torontian Government in Exile and leader of the Torontian Republican Army (TRA), I announce that the campaign to liberate Torontia from foreign imperialist occupation shall now be united under the supreme authority and vanguard of the TRA.

The TRA is in a total sate of war with the nations of:

Amestria
Saint Fedski

No longer shall the Torontian people or the fatherland suffer under the iron grip of gangster communism and the forces of the world communist conspiracy to destroy nations and enslave peoples, of which Torontia is the primary victim.

People of Torontia, refuse to reconise the unconstitutional and illegal 'elections' that were held in Amestrian occupied Torontia.

People of Torontia, deny support and refuse to work with the evil gangster terrorist puppet regimes of the so-called 'Provisional Governments' installed in Seattle and Port Angeles respectively by Saint Fedski and Amestria.

Refuse support to all political parties, as the legal constitution of Torontia, the New Order Constitution of 2020, unifies our great fatherland under the only party which unites our nation, the New Order Party.

Citizens, lets unite for a campaign of armed struggle, to deny our enemies victory and to unify our nation upon the expulsion of the gangster communist terrorists.

Soon, the New Order will arise over Torontia and return our nation to independence, unity, greatness and everlasting happiness.

Let as avenge those we lost and destroy those we hate.

Torontian/Idaho border

In his new command centre in Idaho, about 5 miles east of the Torontian border, Ira Gaines was going over the last minute details of what his mercenaries should do in the first operation that marked the start of the TRA campaign.

Already, Gaines had sent three man teams, into the Torontian villages and small towns that were near the border. The teams were all dressed in civilian clothing and the men in these observation teams were native to Idaho, thus blending in with the local Torontian population, who shared common accents and mannerisms.

They had reported back that two small towns and about 8 villages were totally empty of any enemy troops or officials and that they more or less were cut off from the rest of the country.

Given that the eastern part of Torontia never had occupation troops in it and that it was the only area of Torontia to escape the colonial carve up, New Order supporters were in large numbers here as the enemy never had a chance to wipe them out.

The plan was to capture these two towns and villages and then take over to air bases, both of which were empty. Upon that, Gaines would have his men hold the area and allow for TRA members from other parts of the former USA to fly in, along with weapon supplies and later on, troops from the Kraven Corporation.

New Order supporters populated this area, but they needed weapons and Gaines had his men load up several planes with arms that Tanakis bought on the black market, so as to arm the TRA and get it moving.

Upon receiving feedback from his observation teams, Gaines ordered his men into action.

Within 10 hours, the two towns and the eight villages were under secure control, as were the two airbases.

No deaths were reported, given the lack of an enemy and the welcome or indifference they received from the local populace.

Torontian Local Election Results (Finalized)

Impressive gains for the Socialist Party, with 35.29% of the contested offices captured. The next big winner was the Communist Party, which captured 23.53% of the contested offices. The center-right Christian Democrat came next with its 17.65% of contested offices.

The Torontian National Congress Party, the National Democrats Party, the Green Party, and the Liberal Party all captured over 5% of the contested offices.

None of the other parties managed any gains, and so will not be taking part in next years National Elections unless they are able to capture 25% or higher of BC's contested offices.

The BC Local Elections are being held.

"Roger that Eagle Eye, Will make contact. What are our rules of engagement?"

"Fire a warning shot. If ignored, bring 'em down."

"Roger that Eagle Eye. Jackhammer out."

(Jackhammer is a fighter squadron (or squadrons) equipped with F-5 Tiger IIIs. Which are vastly improved F-5E. I have yet to work out the specifics because I don't know how, any help? Eagle Eye is an E-3. At any given time there is one in the air from the base at Renton Municipal Airport.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Staffing the Operations Room in Seattle was Second General Taylor Perry. He was officially, unofficially second in command of the Saint Fedskian Occupation Authority. General Ferdinand of the Torontian Army was also in the room reviewing the positions and status of his forces when the call came in.

"Sirs" A captain shouts, breaking the silence in the room. "A code 17 message is coming in from Eagle Eye Two, I'll put it on in the closest."

Taylor and Ferdinand look at each other and begin sprinting across the room. Code 17 is used for emergencies only, it had never been used since coming to Torontia.

"Eagle Eye Two, you are talking to Big Chief."

"Roger that Big Chief. Unknown aircraft have been sighted in Eastern Torontia near (enter airbases and villages here). Jackhammer Thirty-four has been dispatched to assess and exterminate the threat. ROE Code 3 has been ordered. Please advise. Over."

"Eagle Eye Two, continue to monitor the situation. Scramble Jackhammers Eight and Nine and place Miter Saw Two on standby. Big Chief will notify Superstar. Remain in touch."

"Roger that Big Chief. Eagle Eye Two out."
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Lieutenant General Jared Fedora's office in Seattle, the general sat in the large, cavernous room with his feet kicked up, resting on the large, antique desk, his hands behind his head and a comfortable look on his face. Soft relaxing music had been playing since he got off the phone with General Maximus Obliqus in Sarnia. The conversation was a long one, with Maximus explaining all the recent changes at home and the new policies that have come into effect.

Fedora was almost at peace when the phone rang once again. This time, it wasn't the direct line with Sarnia, or the general line for Torontia, it was the red phone, used for urgent, important and secret matters only. Naturally he wasn't too happy to be removed from his daydreams, but when the phone rings it must be answered.

"General Fedora." He grumbled.

"Jared, its Perry. There is a possible situation in Eastern Torontia. Unknown aircraft have reported by Eagle Eye Two. A squadron of Tiger III's has been dispatched. Another two squadrons have been scrambled while a strike wing has been placed on standby."

The conversation was interupted by another update.

"Eagle Eye Two, this Jackhammer Thirty-four. Rabbits are prowling, there are rabbits prowling."

"Roger that Thirty-four. Continue with mission. Out."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Big Chief, Jackhammer Thirty-four reports prowling rabbits. Repeat, prowling rabbits have been reported."

"Big Chief to Eagle Eye Two. You are in command. Keep Big Chief informed."

"Roger that Big Chief. Eagle Eye Two out."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shit" General Perry yells into the phone. "Jackhammer Thirty-four has reported 'prowling rabbits'."

"Prowling Rabbits are..." Lt. Gen. Fedora replies inquisitively.

"Enemy armoured vehicles sir. Because Jackhammer Thirty-four is a fighter squadron, the details are unavailable. Miter Saw Two will be dispatched immediately with ROE Code 1 - fire upon confirmation."

"Good call Perry. Get North Saint Clair command on phone and send one of their fast attack divisions out. I will notify the politicians and free up some more troops for you. General Ferdinand, mobilize your nearest heavy armoured division immediately."

"Yes Sir, General Fedora" Ferdinand replies sharply. "The 1st Infantry Division will be on standby. There are currently two more Torontian infantry divisions within two days travel. Shall I alert them as well?"

"You may. General, join your troops at the front, we need a senior commander over there. I wish you luck. Keep me informed."

"Will do Sir." Ferdinand and Perry reply at the same time.

"Colonel, Lieutenant Driver, I managed to get a quick update from HQ, and some new intel."

"Great, Lieutenant Jackson. Give it to us."

"Well, first things first, sir, we've received news of an open communique from Tanakis to the people of Torontia, trying to get them to rebel against their occupiers." He handed Driver and Whittier printed copies of the communique.

Leader of Torontia and the TRA

Colonel Vader Tanakis

Whittier was surprised. The communique was more subdued than most messages Tanakis had sent in the past, yet he still managed to get his message across clearly. He wondered if Tanakis had spent his time in McKagan "captivity"/exile pondering his style as a statesman.

"Well, having more Torontians begin to fight for themselves is a good thing. We'll see how this 'TRA' turns out soon enough. What else do you have for me, Lieutenant?"

"I have those satellite photos you wanted for Lieutenant Driver, sir."

"Ah yes, excellent. Please, let us lay them out for Lieutenant Driver."

Whittier laid out the same photos he'd shown to Colonel Farve at Walker AFB back when he'd gone to see Tanakis, as well as the same plan, though he added the vessels would go to the insurgents, not Tanakis.

"So, Lieutenant, do you think your men can pull this off?"

McKagan

26-11-2005, 01:02

Driver looked over the papers, images, and assorted informated before speaking. "I think we'd have a shot. It would involve moving alot of insurgents, not actually armed, i'll point out, to the ports. We can't do much as long as that damn Yallak fleet is out there, but once it goes, i'd rate the TPLA fleet above any other naval assets in the theatre. Yes, I do think we could do it. It would take alot of time to get out people into position, maybe weeks, but on the day of the attacks it would only take a few jihad dudes with guns to get by the security down there."

Halberdgardia

26-11-2005, 01:38

"Excellent. If this plan goes well -- though they say no plan survives contact with the enemy -- then we'll have scored a huge victory for the insurgency. Any ideas for attacks we can do in the interim?"

As the first truck aproched the leader took aim with a grenade launcher, however he was caught off guard as Sniper fire started coming from the convoy. As he dodged and took aim, the roof of a truck unfolded to show a person with a RPG, who quickly fired off a shot at the first group, from two other trucks .50 cal bullets began to rain on the forests on either side of the convoy, while out the back, TSU soldiers poured out the last two trucks and fired on the Insurgants positions.

[New Attacks]

With the insurgents in hiding it was becoming more and more hard for them to carry out attacks against the Amestrians. With Predators over valleys once used for mass transit, it was more than difficult to move the large task forces used in assaulting convoys; the vital lifeblood of the Amestrian occupation.

In Vancouver on this cold, snowy morning, everything was as normal. At this time the civilians were just starting to move to their jobs. The Amestrians had done a good job in rebuilding the economy of at least one city, with all the civilians having SOMETHING to do.

The buses, relativly unprotected, minus a few checkpoints entering and leaving the city, made for easy targets. Up until now the insurgents had, although knowing this, not done anything to it because they wanted to keep their options open.

It was time for change.

In recent weeks several of the bus owners had been contacted by insurgent Lieutenant's. Even Driver had a conversation with one before linking up with the HCIA agents. The drivers were mostly sympathetic to the insurgents, minus a few who "changed their minds." Now the insurgents were more or less in control of many, many buses.

But what weapon could they possibly used for? Sure, loading them with HE and raming them into... anything, made alot of firing chunks of metal; but what did that really accomplish? No, this time the insurgents had one of the most deadly weapons known to man. The Germ. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9590491&postcount=65) (click)

For that morning before any of the drivers started out on their runs, they hooked a small device, full of the germ, into the heating system that ran so heavily on the buses. With enough to run all day, anyone who stepped foot on the bus would be infected.

The germs had been brought in on the last Stealth Blimp drop (ooc: note, on the last drops there were crates where I DIDN'T RP THEIR CONTENTS), and were in sufficient quantity to be deployed against multiple targets; the Imperiums perfect weapon for these sorts of operations. They were completly deniable, as it could be passed off as simply a mutated flu strain.

The virus released this time was set to not become active for at least 48 hours, meaning each infected person would come in contact with many, many more people, and so on.

Unless the Amestrians butchered millions, thousands, and maybe millions, would die from the disease.

TORONTIAN REPUBLICAN ARMY

TOP SECRET MESSAGE

To: Halberdgardia and McKagan

The TRA would like to thank both your nations for your support for those who seek to enslave our nation, in particular the evil communist gangster nations of Amestria and Saint Fedski.

The TRA is in control of two meduim sized towns and eight villages and two air bases in the far eastern region of Torontia near the Idaho border.

The TRA has also put forward an purchase order for weapons from Leafanistan, worth over 3.5 billion USD. The TRA still has over 140 billion USD in our accounts and we have more than enough money.

We now have weapons and money and control asection of the nation, all under a single command structure of the New Order Party and the supreme authority of the Torontian Government in Exile.

The TRA is organised and armed, thus we seek your help in asking the insurgent forces you support to join under the leadership of the New Order and the TRA and to help us fight the imperialist enemy.

With unity and will, our enemies shall crumble.

In Vancouver, the virus spread quickly throughout the city and three days after the initial attack the cities hospitals are flooded with sick people requesting help. There were cases reported in surrounding suburbs as well. Hundreds of Torontian and Amestrian soldiers also reported symptoms. Panic was starting to spread.

Amestrian Occupation Authority Central Command,
Office of Supreme Commander Basque Gran,
Port Angeles

Roy looked nervous as Gran got off the phone with the Vancouver Command.

"Well General?"

"It’s without a doubt the results of a biological attack. The symptoms are far beyond that of any normal flu and the only out break has taken place in Vancouver... It is our good fortune that the restrictions on movement imposed on BC to prevent the instability from spreading have also prevented the same of the disease... This is a golden opportunity!"

"Sir!?"

"We now have a mandate to shut all of BC down! Have BC divided into military districts, extend the curfew to all hours, no one is to gather or assemble in large groups, no one is to travel between districts. Anyone tries to do so, have them shot! Destroy all means of private transportation in BC, cars, boats, est. Close all airports in Torontia."

He paused...

"Have biowarfare equipment dispatched to our troops in Vancouver at once and dispatch the Bio Warfare division over there to analyze the virus... Find out how long it would take to manufacture a vaccine."

Public Address Given on Torontian Television/Radio by President Burns of the Torontian Provisional Government (Port Angeles)

"My fellow citizens, it is my grave duty to inform you that a bioweapon has been released in BC by the terrorists calling themselves the TPLA. Let me first assure you that at present, the virus has only appeared in Vancouver BC, and restrictions have been placed on travel to prevent it from spreading. At this moment, the top bioweapon experts of the Amestrian and Torontian Militaries are analyzing the virus, looking for any means to neutralize it.

To prevent the virus from spreading further or the TPLA from taking advantage of the instability this will generate, I hereby place BC under direct military rule. I urge all BC residents to remain calm and stay at your homes. A 24-hour curfew is in place and all violators will be shot. If you must leave your homes for whatever reason, cover your mouths with approved filters.

To maintain civil order in the unaffected regions of Torontia, I hereby reestablish martial law and reinstate the nighttime curfew. I reiterate that these measures being applied outside BC are precautionary and to maintain civic order.

I further order, as Commander and Chief of the Torontian Military, a bombing campaign be undertaken to destroy the BC rebels once and for all. The BC countryside is declared a free fire zone."

Amestrian Military Movements

Biological warfare equipment and breathing filters are flown into BC and distributed among TPG/Amestrian soldiers near the effected areas. More such equipment is flown into Torontia by Jefferson County and Vancouver International Airports (both now controlled entirely by the Amestrian Military).

The Amestrian Biological Warfare division is sent to the Vancouver hospitals and sets up a base of operations.

The Torontian Provincial Government relocates to Vanderhoof (after each member goes through a quarantine period).

BC is devided into military districts, all means of private transportation destroyed, all travel forbidden. A 24-hour curfew is placed into effect; all violators are shot on sight. There is a complete and total military presence throughout every major community in BC.

A massive bombing campaign of the BC countryside is launched, 55 Torontian B-59 bombers and 11 Amestrian B-2 Bombers plaster the countryside and all regions the TPLA is believed to be hiding.

Simply bombing anywhere you "think" the enemy is isn't enough.

In Vancouver, the number of recorded sick* is well over 10,000, including 600 Torontian/Amestrian soldiers. The hospitals are overcrowded and worse yet much of the staff has fallen sick. Torontian and Amestrian Military Doctors take over the management of the hospitals. Schools, gyms, stadiums, and prisons are declared temporary treatment centers. The bodies of those who die are burned with gasoline.

The streets of Vancouver are cleared. At first, there is a flood of people attempting to escape, but after Amestrian/Torontian soldier’s gun down a mob of 700 attempting to break the barricades and begin to carry out their threats of shooting violators on sight, the streets empty. No one but authorized personnel is allowed outside. Many fall sick and die in there places of residence, forbidden from leaving, with no help offered.

The Amestrian Biological Warfare division begins the process of identifying the virus and providing treatment for those sickened, preferential treatment given to the Amestrian soldiers. Medical supplies/personnel are flown in vie the Vancouver International Airport. IVs are given to provide nutrients, morphine to dull pain, and ice packs to fight the fevers. When it is discovered one of the primary causes of death is pressure on the cranium, doctors begin to drill holes in the craniums of patients to drain fluids and release the pressure, although circumstances dictate that this operation can only be preformed on a few.

Outbreaks of the virus are reported in Victoria and surrounding cities, the number of recorded sick several hundred and growing. However, in those cities, the hospital staffs and emergency workers are more thoroughly prepared, treatment is provided to those who report themselves sick (over the phone) and the streets are kept clear by the Military.

Across BC a fortress like atmosphere permeates, everything is closed down

(Note: Because all non-official phone lines were cut after the insurrection began and the media is censored, there is no way that anyone will know the details of what is happening in BC)

Amestrian Military Movements

200,000 Amestrian combat troops are flown into BC.

1) 100,000 take up positions in the cities to maintain the quarantines and civic order.

2) 100,000 move to the countryside and join in existing anti-insurgent operations.

The bombing campaign in the countryside continues.

Non-military planes are chartered to airdrop MRE's to rural communities now cut off due to the present ban on travel.

*The number of sick identified before the 24 hour quarantine, the full number is far higher, but can not be recorded because they are restricted to their homes.

[Casulties]

In the sickness which is overcoming Torontia, it is hard for the insurgency to escape its own weapon. Several dozen insurgents are reported sick, but are quickly shot to avoid futher infection.

The raids, not being terribly effective but still doing enough, are able to kill 17 Insurgents before they move to a new chain of hiding places. More importantly, however, several hundred M-16's (which are as generic as air in Torontia) are left behind in an unprepared retreat.

The Predators continue to fly, recognizing only a few insurgents correctly, and even then they are able to escape into the backwoods and slip between various military patrols to set up NEW hidden safehouses.

The bomb raids continue to cause havoc amongst the local wildlife, racking up only a dozen or so more insurgent kills with thousands of tons of HE.

The army was mobilizing, over 40,000 troops marched through the city heading for the coast for transport to parts unknown. Their new specialized weapons shining with newness, freshly made uniforms and multiple armored vehicles leading. Yet this was only the beginning.

-Centeral Naval Yard TLA-
Alpha fleet began mobilizing, hundreds of transports and Marine equipment was organized according to use and who would use it. Transports began to gather at the docks. They were mobilizing also.

Unknown to both sides, the silent combatants of The Kraven Corperation and The Lone Alliance both were mobilizing. But was one to be put against the other? None knew.

Explosions rip through the dead silence of the cool Seattle night around 10pm local time, a couple of minutes later, three more explosions are heard. Fires rage across the water as gasoline and oil ignite, silhoutting the wrecks of five ships in the two major harbours in Seattle. Half an hour after the initial explosions, control of the fires is lost as they meet and ignite the port facilities and the precious humanitarian aid. The heat from the fires begin melting the clothing of the firemen and their equipment. They are forced to back off and allow the fire to burn itself out.

By morning, the fire has been put out. A small terrorist organiztion known as the Newest Order has claimed responsibility for the suicide attacks. They used homemade human torpedoes and attacked fuel ships. Officials announce that 43 port officials have died and another 100 or so have been injured. Officials also announce that the ports have been rendered neutralized and standard airlifts cannot keep up with the pace of incoming aid and imports and outgoing exports. They appeal to Amestria for the use of their ports for civilian ships only.

The next night at exactly 10pm again, a fire is seen in the middle of Olympia Harbour. An arsonist has set a supertanker ablaze. Because of its proximity to vital port assests, it was a prime target. Minutes slip away as the fire grows onboard the ship. It seems the port Authority had failed to notice the fire, or had it ignored the fire? At ten after 10, the ship explodes, knocking down cranes and communications towers. Flaming debris is thrown all over the port, landing in fuel depots, arms caches and other flammable cargo. More smaller explosions are heard as the caches and depots go off. This time however the fire is controlled after only serious damage has been caused. Officials announce that a fire aboard the tanker ship "CS Simpson" from the Republic of New McFarland had been the cause. They lay blame on the Port Authority for failing to act on such an obvious, and dangerous situtation citing that many civilians from poorer perspectives were able to notice the fire and call the fire brigade.

Annoucnment from Sean Keane, Governor, Interm Government of Torontia (Seattle)
Citizens of Torontia, this week has been a tragic one for all of us. Disease outbreakes in BC, and terrorist attacks here. Damage from these is still trying to be estimated, the terrorists among us have only hurt themselves, they attacked private, civialian facilities containing only aid and imports to the nation of Torontia. However, the terrorists did succeed in rendering two major ports almost usless, one completely. It will be weeks, if not months before these ports can be returned to any sort of capacity to make an impact again. With this said, I appeal to the Provisional Government of Torontia and the Amestrian Occupation Authority to allow your aid ships to enter their ports and use their facilities, even if it means paying for it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite Secret. Note delivered by hand.

Mr. Gran, the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski is backing down. There is a need for a united Government in Torontia. We now recognize the Provisional Government of Torontia as official representation of the Torontian people. But because we made an extreme decision, we will make another: no Amestrian or Torontian Nationals will be permitted in the Saint Fedskian occupied zone. Your influence is political/cultural/economical only. Governor Keane has been removed from office and returned to The Republic of New McFarland where he will establish himself as the top member of the International Political Council.

Your's regretfully,
Governor Sean Keane

Standing in the middle of nowhere, Deputy Governor Scott McKelvie waiting with his small escort, freezing their tails off, for an under the table meeting with a secret agent. Lights were seen at the edge of the clearing, "it must be the agent." McKelvie thought. Two small cars pulled up alongside McKelvie and his men. A window of the second car rolled down and hand reached out, beckoning the men over.

"Do you have it?" McKelvie asked quietly.

"Yes. It's all here." Replied the Agent

"Good. Everything is set up and good to go."

"Excellent"

"Was a pleasure doing business with you."

The cars sped off, leaving the men eating dust.

Your offer is accepted. The Torontian Provisional Government shall send representatives to take charge of Seattle and other communities within the Saint Fedskian zone. The Capital of Torontia shall be moved to Olympia*. However, be advised, if your occupation forces are unable to maintain order in the Eastern Regions then Amestria will have no choice other then to intervene in your zone. I suggest you do not F this up.

Negative. Everything shall stay in place. Only difference between now and then is that you issue an order, it is followed, there will be no swapping of people. The Torontian citizens do not trust the Amestrians and there have already been some complications. The common soldier would probably be more inclined to join the anti-Amestrian movement than to protect Amestrian officials. We can take care of the governing.

The Last of the Transports arrived and multiple groups of soldiers disembarked with their equipment. In the middle of the halfway constructed base the Spy Sat Jamming System was being Set up, this was to be it's first test run, everyone knew that eventually people would notice the massive build up to the north. It needed to be online soon. For there were things to hide.

In seemly record speed, a massive combined Base was being constructed in the remote forest outside the Torontian Border. With up to 50,000 Soldiers now located in the former State, 250,000 Black Hand Op forces being set up and over 300,000 Lone Alliance, and Alliance Colony Soldiers being called up
at home. There will soon be a force of over half a million soldiers to the north.

There are over one million TPG soldiers serving along side the Amestrians without negative consequence, which is in any case a moot point. The officials being sent to take charge of the urban centers throughout the Saint Fedski zone are Torontian, the TPG's soldiers are Torontian! As the National Government of Torontia, the TPG has sole authority over its own people and territory.

I repeat: No Amestrian influenced persons, weather political or military, shall be permitted in the Saint Fedskian Occupied Zone. Our own forces are quite capable of controlling the area themselves. Amestria has their hands full with the insurgency. However, if it is extremely necessary that you send some sort of official over, they can be military observers that will have nearly full access to any information obtained by the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski, but they will have little, if any direct influence on military matters. That is the best offer we can make, or else the former system will be reinstated.

The first of the Saint Fedskian ships slip into view of Port Angeles. Aircraft could be heard flying close by, but because of the low ceiling, could not be seen. In the distance, the entrance to the harbour came into sight as the destroyers and cruisers docked within grew larger.

The dull light of the early dawn made for an eerie scene. The city was relatively quiet, with only a few aircraft and some seagulls breaking the silence. Shortly after the convoy passed the first warning marker, a siren began to sound in the Port Angeles harbour.

"Port Angeles this is convoy 433. Requesting permission to dock."

"Roger that Port Angeles, will dock in terminal 5. All personnel will remain onboard until the search is completed."

"Thank you Port Angeles, C433 out."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On board a couple of the ships in the convoy, relatively quiet warning alarms began to go off as the ships pulled up alongside the dock. The alarms, signalled a foreign boarding party about to board the ship. All men were ordered to combat positions and ready for the repel order.

If the former system is reinstated then your ships can turn around! You cannot have it both ways, this is Torontia, not Saint Fedski, Torontia is its own country! We do not wish a veto over Saint Fedski military matters, but we wish to establish control over all civilian/economic/judicial matters within the Saint Fedski occupation zone. Saint Fedski cannot continue to run Central Torontia like its own personnel playground, looting materials and resources for its own purposes.

The ship's captain radios the Sardaukar commander.

"Sir, we have been ordered to leave the port, if there is no search party in the next five minutes, we can either begin the assault or await another time. My superiors have suggested that the assault begin as everything is ready. But in the end it's up to you. What shall we do?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lieutenant, get all Corps commanders on comms. It's urgent."

"Yes sir!"

"Page me when they are all on the line."

"Yes General."

Fifteen minutes or so pass before the Lieutenant pages General Fedora.

"General, the commanders are on the secure line. The communications room is empty at the moment."

"Thank you Lieutenant. That'll be all."

"Yes sir." The Lieutenant replies as she hurries out of the room.

"Gentlemen, prepare for war.

General Brideau, prepare I Corps for an immediate assault from your base in Bremerton. The first fighter group, and aircraft from the aircraft carriers HES Sarnia and HES Shakepeare will be supporting Brideau and Ferdinand's assaults.

General Fu, take II Corps north from Everett to Bellingham and await the signal to begin the assault on Vancouver. The second fighter group will provide air support.

General Flinstone, strike out from Olympia with III Corps and head straight for Hoquim and Aberdeen.

General Arnott, you will remain in reserve in Seattle until there is a place to commit IV Corps.

General Ferdinand, you will the Torontian 1st and 2nd Corps. Your objective is to protect the flanks of General Brideau's assault. Once you have broken through, you shall immediately break off and assault Port Angeles.

General Newman, the Second Quick Reactionary Force will sieze Jefferson County International Airport, following up on 2QRF's assault, General Bates and his First Quick Reactionry Force will arrive via air lift and sea lift. Third fighter group and aircraft from HES Rome and HES St. Clair will support the QRF raid into Port Angeles.

The fourth figher group will provide cover whenever needed.

The Bomber Command's bomber and strike groups will provide close air support as need. Also, aircraft from the HES Pisa and HES Ortona will provide near constant cover in the northern regions over Port Angeles and the Strait.

If anything goes wrong, the Republic of North Saint Clair has given us permission to commit three of their five corps and 250 aircraft into combat. Any questions?"

"Yes Sir, How much support will the navy provide?" General Fu asked.

"All available naval vessels will move into blockading positions at the mouth of the straight. Destroyers and frigates will be closer to Port Angeles to provide a second line of defence and cover for the assaulting forces."

"What air cover over the Interior of Torontia?" General Brideau questioned.

"Good question. The Torontian Civilian Air Force will provide limited air cover, while the aircraft of North Saint Clair will be the large contributor. Of course the Torontian National Air Force will be present, but it's units will be mostly deployed to North to protect against an expected counter attack on our weekest border. The attacks are not to begin until I personally give the order. Not my aide, not my secretary, not my message. My word of mouth only can initiate the attacks. Until the order is given, all units are stood to and on high alert. Anymore?"

A few of the general and admirals mumbled "no sir" before excusing themselves to tend to their duties.

"General Brideau, I need to talk to you for a couple seconds before you go."

"Yes sir" she replied.

"Get your Elite Guard unit prepared immediately. They will be launching an immediate attack. Their targets, General Gran, General Mustang and President Burns. They are to be captured at all costs, dead or alive. We have a secure way in for them to use. The information is right under your door....now. Good luck Jaime."

"Thank you sir."

Insantly all 8 squads in the lead ship activated, receiving a single Command from the Relay system, their Lazer Target designators activating, illuminating the room with the lazers, that cut through the darkness with infinate precision...

They awaited for the boarding party to enter, then they would begin the Assault on the Amestria Port... It would be the first of many to fall....

Port Authority: "Your clearance has been revoked. The vessels shall vacate immediately or hostile force shall be employed!"

As a precautionary measure concerning unauthorized ships within their naval perimeter, the guns and cruise missiles of the Amestrian 2nd and 3rd Carrier Fleets (both stationed in Port Angeles) target the SF vessels. Any hostile action and the ships would be blown out of the water...

Secret Conversation, Most Secure Line

General Gran was speaking to TPG President Burns on the phone. He was not happy.

"Full General, have all ports controlled by the TPG been closed to Saint Fedski ships?"

"Yes Mr. President. The S.F. ships currently in the Port Angeles harbor have been ordered to vacate and I expect them to follow the order..."

"No S.F. ships are to be allowed dock until I give my personal approval... That proposal S.F. sent over was unacceptable and a joke. They recognize my government but actively prevent the TPG from assuming civil responsibilities in the S.F. zone. They refuse to allow the TPG Military to integrate and take charge of the TIG Military. As far as I am concerned their offer was simply a ploy to give their puppet regime legitimacy while they continue to run the place as their own private playground and loot Eastern Torontia with wild abandon. I have heard rumors about those ships and planes leaving Seattle, they are not empty! In my opinion, they are waiting for Yallak to withdraw, then they will sit there and divide Torontia permanently.

"I agree Mr. President!"

"We at present have superior military force and complete control of the seas! Time to take the gloves off, talk to the Yallak Fleet Command about applying the blockade to S.F. ships. With no means of supplying their troops by sea they will have to withdraw or reduce their present allocation, and that will give us greater leverage."

"I myself considered such options, but I wished to attain your specific approval..."

"You have it, Full General!"

"Central Command will contact the Yallak Fleet Command at once, Mr. President!"

Gran hung up the phone and awaited the confirmation that the S.F. ships had left the harbor. He would feel more at ease once they were gone.

On the other end, President Burns sat in his office. No one was going to stop him, not the remaining New Order, not S.F., not Mckagan... He would be the President of a United Torontia!

Since early evening, Scott McKelvie had been busy preparing plans for the upcoming conflict. It was now almost midday and he had finally become satisfied with his plans. He would check them over with the Military Council in a mtter of minutes before announcing them to the world.

"Very good Scott!" Lt. Gen. Fedora exclaimed. "Amestria and her cronies will not attack us now. If massive civilian casualties are at risk, they will not attack. I can't wait until they get hit hard and are forced to fall back... more of Torontia will be united under a proper government. It'll be great for you and your people."

"Thank you General. I assume you have some preparations to make before we announce this?"

"All that needs to be done is getting a live new feed out."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour after the small meeting Lieutenant General Jared Fedora and Deputy Governor Scott McKelvie stepped to the podium...

"Citizens of Torontia, both the ones in the East living in peace and quiet, and the ones on the West Coast, living in fear and misery. The so called 'Torontian Provisional Government' has started to prevent goods from reaching or leaving Eastern Torontia by sea. They do not intend to save you, or free you, they intend to enslave you and install a puppet regime. What have they done for you aside from bring war, disease and poor living conditions? Sure they have held elections, but the same Leader's were elected that brought you this misery. Coincidence? I think not.

Now on the other hand, what has The Commonwealth of Saint Fedski done for Torontia? Much more than Amestria. Three new state of the art hospitals have been opened, foreign trade has been resume, the tourism indsutry is beginning to revive and the economy is almost at pre-collapse levels. Factories are turning our products like never before, although the infastructure still lacks a little, it is getting to acceptable levels. When in memory have you been able to wander the streets at anytime of the day or night and not be afraid of being attacked? When have you protested and been massacred since the Interm Government of Torontia came into power? Never. Torontia is safer now than it's ever been.

It is no secret that relations with the State of Amestria and their puppet regime in Western Torontia are quite sour indeed, but so far war has been averted. In order to show that we are serious about the situation, a naval blockade has been set up at the mouth of the Strait and a smaller one around Port Angeles. No Amestrian ships shall be allowed through unless Saint Fedskian ships and international ships are allowed to pass again. This is no joke. If any serious negative effects are noticed within Torontia due to the blockade, The insurgency in BC will get much, much worse. We sure hope it doesn't, but we will not take this act of war lightly. We will do whatever to protect the Sovreignty of Torontia from the imperialistic State of Amestria and the Infinite Empire of Yallak.

That is all for now. There will be no questions."

Fellow members of equality, today the nation of Saint Fedski has shown their true colors as the Capitalist Imperalist scum they are. They continue to rob the land of it's goods and resources, keep their section of the country under their dictatorship and then they declare that Amestria is refusing the government and fixing the elections!! But where are the elections in the Saint Fedski zone. If those elections were fixed in Amestria's area, how come our party who was never in any previous Government in Torontia, secured a majority of the First election and tied for second in the BC election, fixed indeed, Rise up fellow Torontians, demand that Saint Fedski releqush their hold on the government, Torontia must be run by Torontians, not Saint Fedski!

Statement from The Torontian Socialist Union to Saint Fedski.
You fail to realize that though we agreed to ally ourselves with Yallak and Amestria. We never allied with you, insurgant activities against your nation will began until your nation backs down, We declare open season on your blockaders and transports. We will attack and raid your ships if you do not back down.

No questions asked. If a Torontian Socialist is caught wearing an Amestrian or Yallackian uniform or in civilian clothing, they shall have each knuckle crushed in a vice, then they shall be forced into chains and used for medical experiments and/or sent to solitary confinement. Any Torontian Socialist caught wearing a uniform or using any identity from the Saint Fedskian Occupation Authority will be immediately imprisoned in solitary confinement. Once in confinement, said prisoners will recieve 2 bowls of soup and 2 bowl of bread per day. The conditions of said prison are horrible. No sunlight, no artificial light and deep underground. There are no bed, toilets, pillows or blankets. There is nothing aside from the prisoner, one song continuously repeating and walls.

Any Amestrian or Yallakian soldier caught in combat, while wearing their own uniform will be imprisoned and have access to 3 small meals a day, proper toiletries, an excercise yard and medical attention. Any Amestrian or Yallackian soldier caught in combat while out of uniform will be either shot immediately or sentenced to solitary confinement.

"Prepare the ships!" Shouted Captain S. Tomes of the newly made TSU navy.
"I want the Attack boats ready within an hour, is that convoy ships disguised enough yet?" "Yes sir, cargo hold can hold the guns when they are flipped, it cuts down on space but at least it makes us look defenseless." "Good, prepare one it for me, it'll be our flagship." Won't they be suprised when they get ambushed by an unarmed supply convoy. He thought.

"Sir the S.F. vessels say they are damaged..."

"Interesting, they did not bother to mention that when they first entered the harbor... Inform President Burns."

The officer called President Burns. His response was as expected!

"No they may not dock! They shall leave the harbor immediately or be forcefully removed! As far as I am concerned, let them sink!"

Another message is sent to the S.F. vessels.

"You are to vacate the port immediately or you will be towed out."

Amestrian Military Response to the Blockades

In response to the S.F. blockade, the Amestrian Fleets increase their fighter patrols by 20 planes, but otherwise do nothing.

The Amestrian/TPG troops on the Amestrian/S.F. border are placed on alert and assume a defensive poster.

As the Amestrian Zone encompasses the whole Torontian coastline (minus Seattle) the S.F. blockade is incontinent, but ultimately ineffective.

Secret Message to the Yallak Fleet Command from the Amestrian Occupation Authority

The S.F. Blockade is clearly illegal, as they do not control either side of the channel. Please take steps to remove it.

International Ecclesiastical Edict

To: The International Community
From: His Most Worthy High Ecclesiarchy of the Holy Empire of Xirnium

In light of the utterly barbarous and arbitrary “security measures” that Saint Fedski has declared that it will take in Eastern Torontia, as well as the unwarranted and illegal blockade it has imposed and also the foolish threats made against the august Infinite Empire, the High Ecclesiarchy hereby denounces the criminal Saint Fedskian Security Council and their puppet governments. The Supreme High Court of Holy Xirnium has determined that a "rule of law" no longer exists (if ever it did) in Eastern Torontia, and that the Saint Fedskian puppet government rules randomly, excessively and arbitrarily.

Saint Fedski is now to be considered an enemy of Holy Xirnium and the Xirniumite people, and the High Ecclesiarchy declares that the Adamantine Alliance no longer applies in any way to Saint Fedski, citing their shameless breach of Article V as justification for this stance.

We further withdraw any previous recognition, if any was given or implied, of the sovereignty of the Saint Fedskian puppet government in Torontia and recognise the Amestria-backed Torontian provisional government as having de facto and de jure control over Torontia. We wish Amestria well in their noble crusade for justice in Torontia.

The Saint Fedskian puppet government is declared an illegitimate entity by the High Ecclesiarchy.

“Their end is at hand.”

As the transmission from Commander Dagon ended, Captain Rauz walked over to the command console. He pressed a few buttons here and there causing small lights on the screen to flash on.

“Lieutenant. Alert all ships to our orders.”

As the Lieutenant used the communication console, Rauz moved to the ships tactical display. As he looked at it, small writing appeared above the other Khorland class battleships one by one, indicating that they too were bringing weapons to ready.

“Captain Rauz, all ships report ready, Sir.”
“Good. Designate target at coordinates HK-754”
“Done. Target: One enemy capital class ship.”
“All launchers – one shot only.”
“Ready to fire, Captain.”

Rauz swept his gaze over the tactical again. One hundred ships, each with ninety six missile locks sat just of the Torontian coast – the first in the slaughter that would end Saint Fedski’s occupation.

“Fire.”

The missiles streaked out of towards the SF ship, skimming only a meter above the water, covering it in smoke from it thrusters as they went.

Rauz watched the display, showing the missiles closing fast with their target.

“Send them a warning Lieutenant.”

Joshua Lin sighed. As usual, he had a long day working at his office building, and now was back at his private recluse. He had taken a hot shower, dried himself up and was now dressed in less formal clothing - more like sloppy as a matter of fact. He turned on the plasma TV as he exited his bathroom and sat on his bed.

Oh good god. thought Joshua Lin as he watched the Xirniumite announcement.

This thing is totally getting out of hand. With The Lone Alliance, Xirnium, Yallak and Amestria, turning against Saint Fedski (and he had no doubt that they would then bicker amongst themselves after they killed the Fedskian soldiers), he knew that this was the pathway to an even bigger war.

"Yes sir." The young Lieutenent replied in a shocked voice.

"Sir, Eagle Eye Eight reports missile launches from the Amestrian Zone and the Yallak fleet. The Yallak fleet has only fired one salvo so far sir. Will keep you informed." The Radar operator informed the Admiral.

"Thank you captain. Keep an eye on Eagle Eye Eight, if you lose contact inform me immediately so Eagle Eye Nine can be launched. Infact Eagle Eye Eight is due to return shortly..."

The Amestrian Fleet opened fire on the small convoy still heading towards the harbour, Explosions rippled across the Rear ship, crippling it, for all intents and purposes it was dead in the water...

More salvos fired from coastal artillery rained down, sending great explosions rising up out of the sea, one ship took a shell directly into the hull, the tearing of metal and the thick smoke rising slowly up from the ship..

another explosion tore apart the deck sending splinters of wood and metal rising up out of the sea...

"This is the Convoy Captain, I Implore you, this is .... **An Audiable Gunshot is heard** "

The five ships, all unarmed...began rocking dangerously in waves as the artillery rained down narrowly missing them. Sooner or later however, a shell would hit one or all of the ships and cause damage.

After a few minutes of bombardment, with all communication with the Amestrian Port Authority cut, and flag signals hidden by the mist and explosions of water, a shell landed on on the head of the lead ship. It blew apart as if someone had ripped apart a box; the sides were blown out, the top was ripped off and all that remained inside was smoke. The shell had landed right in the middle of the tank room, the room where various compressed gasses were stored, thus compounding the initial problem and all but sinking the ship.

Seconds later, another ship, carrying cars, planes, boats and the respective parts, was hit. This time by a missile fired from the Amestrian Fleet. It hit the hull but streaked through....both sides and kept going. A second missile did the exact same thing to another area of the hull. A third missile hit the ship head on and exploded in the hold...the crates of food and bottled water were blown to pieces. Car and aviation products were seen landing on the ground in the harbour. Within seconds, ship began to list...eventually it was on a steep slope, sending all the cargo on its deck into the see. Atleast the fish will have nice cars to drive. Before finally sinking under the waves, concentrated artillery fire began pounding what was left of the stricken ship.

At the same time as the second ship, the third one, carrying small consumer goods was struck by three missiles. The first two missiles pierced the first layer off the hull before detonating right in the middle. The ship immediately split in half and sank in a matter of seconds. The third missile struck just before the head was underwater. It sped through the roof before exploding at deck level, blowing the structure from the ship.

A fourth ship was also caught up in the initial bombardment. Before the missiles were even fired, the artillery set the cargo of oil ablaze...which then spilt into the harbour as the ship ran aground and punctured a hole below the waterline. As the oil surfaced, it caught fire..spreading the fire along the water and towards the Amestrian ships. Because of the proximity to the dock, actually the ship had a line tied up...the fire spread there too.

The final ship of the group was a different matter.

The Resurgent Dream

03-12-2005, 21:50

Commodore Aderyn Nanney ran a hand through her red hair as she stared blankly at the orders she had just received. Her government had apparently received a request for help from the St. Fedskians, a country with whom they had normal relations and also one of the many countries who seemed to mistake embassies for treaties of alliance. This, in and of itself, was actually not that unusual.

It was also not that unusual that they had only sent Farside Battlegroup. Consisting of only twenty ships, the Battlegroup did make up less than one twenty-fifth of the Danaan Navy. However, such a force was certainly capable of being relevent in a situation involving a much smaller nation such as Saint Fedski. It would not, of course, give them a chance of defeating the nations they were up against, but neither would the entire Danaan Navy, even if the Danaans had been willing to enter into a full-scale war over this matter, which they were not.

What was odd was the sheer vagueness of her instructions. She had been ordered not to initiate any engagements and to survey how the situation stood, jobs intelligence should have done before she received any orders. They, however, had their attention focused on Ambara and similar places.

Whatever the case, the ships of Farside Battlegroup were moving swiftly towards Torontia and they would soon see how matters stood.

Official Statement by the USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs

Greetings to All Parties Concerned,

While we have not set a foot within the wartorn region (of Torontia), we can tell that the situation has gone totally out of control. We believe in diplomacy over force, and despite the fact that all-out war is seemingly inevitable.

As I had said shortly after the fall of the New Order Republic, arguing solves nothing. And conflict between your armies does not aid the situation. Do you realize, that all the Torontians want, is peace? Torontia will now never be a united nation with a good government and a democratic republic, thanks to your bickering and stubborness, refusing to listen to each other and try and come to a compromise.

All you're doing is tearing each others throats out. On behalf of the cabinet and the Parliament, I gladly request all parties concerned to send their delegates to the Southeast Asian capitol of Lion City....all we want is peace....and I'm sure you want peace as well, don't you?

Again and again we have tried to obtain peace with the Saint Fedski occupation forces and their puppets the Torontian Interm Government, and every time they have rejected it – even cutting off all communications with the other powers present.
We came to Torontia for the sole purpose of ending the conflict that was brewing there and for a time we succeeded, but now Saint Fedski has forced our hand and begun hostilities.
However, the Infinite Empire as always prefers to prevent conflict through diplomacy and we would be willing to attend yet another peace talks. If you can convince those who would seek more bloodshed in an already death filed country to talk peace, then we too will stand down and participate.

The final ship was another matter. Not a single artillery shell scored a direct hit, there were many that nearly hit, but none that actually did. The first missile came streaking in on the left side, skimming the deck of the ship and taking many containters of medical supplies with it as it past over. The second missile, aimed at the bridge, also missed, it was least seen streaking towards the other Amestrian fleet. A third missile, scored a direct hit on the bridge but failed to blow. So far the ship had been lucky but would it last much longer? The fourth missile scored a direct hit in hull...packed with small amounts of ammunition. Explosions ripped the poor vessel to pieces, sending deadly shards everywhere, spewing fire over the already ignited oil slick that was the harbour....the other two missiles, with nothing to hit, continued to fly.

What a pleasure it is to deal with you, and Southeast Asia again. Like always, the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski is more than willing to join into peace talks, especially ones mediated by SEA. However, we will only join on the condition that Yallak completely remove the blockade and permit any and all Saint Fedskian, Torontian and international vessels heading for ports in Torontia, to pass through completely unopposed or challenged. That is our only requirement for peace. If that cannot be met by the time our delegation arrives in Lion City, they will be immediately recalled.

"Captain, the DMG escort is approaching from the south. 10 minutes to the RV."

"Alright Lieutenant, put me through on the broadcast system."

"Yes sir." A couple seconds and a flick of a switch later: "Ready sir."

"Thank you Lieutenant." The Captain replied before pressing the talk button. "men, this is Captain Stood speaking. In ten minutes will be linking up with the DMG convoy which is just south of us. Do not fire. I repeat do not fire. We may be in for a rough ride. Once the connection is made, all personnel are to remain in emergency stations until we are safely docked in Seattle. All lifeboats are to be prepared immediately. Thank you for your cooperation. See you in Seattle."

Aboard each of the ships, the two turrets, housing a single 5 inch gun each, were manned. All unnecessary electronics were turned off and fire control measures implemented.

"DMG Escort this is Convoy MC89. Over"

"MC89 this is DMG Escort. Prepare to RV."

"MC89 Ready"

"DMG Escort Ready"

The DMG convoy of 10 large container ships carrying nearly 4000 missiles and 100 aircraft began to over take MC89. The escort, provided by the 14th Dominion Fleet (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9876139&postcount=2) expanded to allow the ten Saint Fedskian ships to join its group. Onboard nine of the Saint Fedskian ships was an entire arsenal of weaponry ranging from small pistols to large calibre tank guns and the various ammunition. On board the tenth vessel, there was nothing.

For all intents and purposes, the tenth ship was just a regular container ship, nothing different about it at all, atleast when one looked at it. If one had the chance to venture onboard the ship, they would realise it was much more than just a cargo vessel, it was a bomb. Inside the ship was over 7000 tons of explosive material, enough to flatten a city and certainly more than enough to scuttle an entire fleet. This ship was the latest development in the floating bomb project, also known as Project Alpha. The innovation contained by PAPE (Project Alpha Prototype E) was a safety mechanism: if the ship was in danger while in a convoy or amongst friendly vessels, a neutralization system would pump a type of acid into the top of the hold, while the bottom of the ship opened to dump the cargo, effectively eliminating the threat of self-destruction.

It would be only a matter of hours before this large convoy encountered the Yallak blockade, only time would tell what would happen.

The young officer turned around to face his commander.

“Contacts off the starboard side. Range 50 km.”
“How many?”
“Tacops reports - 119 surface ships, high probability of subsurface support and enough carrier class ships to provide good air cover.”
“So they aren’t ready to surrender yet. So be it.”

Dagon returned to the other side of the bridge, reactivating the communications console.

“Attention all commands. Saint Fedskian Forces are approaching the blockade in force. Commence Operation Amendment.”

Switching the console off, he returned his attention to the Lieutenant.

“Move all battlegroups to defensive positions. Launch all alert fighters.

Immediately the stretched out ships, began coming together in their battlegroups. The carriers began to move in further towards the coast, the whole while fighter after fighter taking to the skies from each vessel.

Once again the roar of missiles launching filled the sound of the command room as the one hundred Khorland battleships began flinging warheads at the Seattle airport. (OOC: They will fire roughly 3,000 missiles in a barrage of the airport).

“Once the airfield has been incinerated – target any ship in that channel that belongs to Saint Fedski or their puppet government.”

“Commence Operation Amendment.”

General Forge watched as the message from Commander Dagon faded. Without turning to face the officers who were watching the message from behind, she began to issue orders.

“Begin the suppression of Olympia. Move all tank and infantry divisions into place. Alert Captain Lacoi to prepare his forces for immediate action.”

Even as the officers received their orders, they moved to begin carrying them out. Minutes after the call for the operation came through the batteries of Imperial 255 mm howitzers (1440 guns West, 1440 Guns East) began pummeling the outskirts of Olypmia with shellfire.

On the roads heading East and North in the city, lines of tanks rolled into battle lines (4,000 West, 4,000 South). Battalions of infantry (200,000 West, 200,000 South) moved into position behind them followed by MLRS, SAM and IFV brigades.

Within minutes the air armada is up and flying, with more than 500 planes and assorted dropships and transports bearing ground forces begin taking off.

The planes set off on an indirect course, heading first southeast. When within satellite range, the Kestrels (stealth aircraft) quickly switch on RADAR jamming, creating simply a large patch of interference resembling a tropical storm instead of an air armada. True to form, the "storm" will appear to start in the south and head north (following in the path of a real hurricane), preventing detection until it is too late.

The air armada will arrive in the former Torontia within five to six hours...

"Sir I think there might be another convoy." A sailor said passing the info to the TSU captain. "I'd have to agree, mobilize the Taskforce." "Yes sir, we don't know exactly what their goal is but we're guessing that if it's not for Yallak or Amestria so it must be for either Tanakis or Saint Fedski, neither, may I remind you, are our friends." The sailor said. "Very well find and Engage them, this will be a sucide mission but it will get our point across, use the Cargo ships to locate them since they seem harmless."

"Sir, we have lost contact with Citrus Burst. I repeat, Citrus Burst has been detroyed."

"Well what about the other ships?" Rear Admiral Cedric Diggory asked hastily.

"Umm they appear to be fine. They managed to scatter before all the missiles hit Citrus Burst."

"Weird. Alert Coconut Grove."

"Yes sir."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onboard the HES Sarnia. Vice Admiral Mike Bradley.

"Admiral, Yallak forces engaged Convoy 594. Losses are currently slated at one destroyer: the HES 1967. The lead ship of the convoy. Apparently 900 or missiles were aimed at just that one vessel."

"Weird." The Admiral replied, kind of amused. "What a waste of missiles." He thought to himself.

"General Fedora has already been informed, and the Petropolis has launched two flights of Tiger IIIs to counter the Yallak attack."

"Notify the entire navy to stand by. Put everybody on high alert. We can expect more attacks..." The Admiral was interupted by a message coming in from Headquarters. "What does it say?"

"The message reads 'Admiral Bradley, You are ordered to return fire. Do not engage Amestrian Forces unless they are a definite threat. Reinforcements are on the way. Hold on until they can arrive.' Shall I send the order confirmed sir?"

"Yes Lieutenant. Order confirmed."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ten Vittorio Veneto Class cruisiers, ten Ticonderoga Class cruisers, fourteen Arleigh Burke destroyers, twenty Iroquois destroyers, positioned right where the Strait meets the Puget sound, were in a perfect position to counter the Yallak missiles.

Each ship fired two salvos of anti-missile missiles, ranging from Sea Sparrows to Otomats and as soon as the Yallak missiles were withing range, all the decoys they could possibly launch at one time, would be launched.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On board the HES Sarnia, 40 Tiger IIIs took off, each armed with 4 Harpoons and and 2 AIM-54s. Such launches also happened on the HES Courtright, HES Corunna, HES Shakespeare, HES Partagener, and HES Petropolis.

The HES Kahanistan and HES Rome launched 35 F/A-18E Super Hornets, each armed with 2 HARMs, 2 sidewinders and 2 AIM-120s

The entire, 1st fighter group, consisting of 245 F-16G Fighting Falcons has been scrambled. Each Falcon is carrying four AIM-120s and two sidewinders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Launching first, were the 70 Hornets. Armed with 2 HARMs each, they sped in at almost top speed, towards the Yallak Fleet at sea level, getting to within 30 miles of the fleet before being engaged by the defences, the 140 HARMs were fired. Hopefully they would knockout the enemy radar and communications before the main attacks came from the Tigers. Providing high level air cover at 45,000 feet were nearly 100 Falcons.

The second group of aircraft, 40 Tiger IIIs and 45 F-16Gs, began streaking well over at well over mach one, straight out over the channel and down the straight, right for the Yallak Fleet. Just eighty miles from the Fleet, the 40 Tigers fired off their 160 Harpoons just before going into a steep dive towards the water. Levelling just ten meters above the ocean, the Tigers pulled a tight turn as they head back towards their carriers. No sooner had the first flight hit the deck, a second flight launched their missiles from roughly the same area, before copying the earlier flight.

The next two flights (80 aircraft), flying full tilt just above sea level, released their harpoons from seventy miles away from the Yallak fleet. By now, all 245 Falcons were airborne and patrolling the skies above the Tigers. If there was even a report of an enemy aircraft, they would spring loose from the tight formation and attack.

The final two flights of Tigers (80 aircraft), one high, one low, fired off their harpoons sixty-five miles from the targets.

Once safely back within range of the defences, the Tigers would join their Falcon buddies at 45,000-50,000 feet waiting to pounce on any threatening aircraft while the remaining six flights of Tigers launched and began their attack.

Kahanistan military encampment, St. Fedski occupational zone

About 2,100 Kahanistan soldiers had disembarked weeks ago, before the conflict with Amestria. The troops had relegated themselves to general policing and security duties, and with Kahanistan an ally of Xirnium and therefore friendly toward Yallak and Amestria, and also at least nominally allied with St. Fedski, they had remained essentially neutral in the dispute between the two main occupying coalitions, even offering to mediate between Xirnium and St. Fedski to save the Adamantine Alliance. That had fared poorly, with Kahanistan involvement arriving too late to prevent an international incident.

The Kahanistan garrison asked the government to fly in more troops, to assure the Amestrians that St. Fedski's claim not to be imperialist was true, believing that an imperialist nation would not allow 30,000 neutral troops in the area. The last thing they needed was to start a war. With the bulk of the Kahanistan Navy demolished by AMF, and the Air Force down to 200 MiG's from 5,000, they decided to use C-130 Herculeses and C-5 Galaxies for transporting troops, and even contracting civilian cruise ships for tens of millions of racist shekels to fly the Kahanistan naval flag and transport troops and weapons.

Because of the mode of transport, tanks were out. These were mostly infantry, logistical, and intelligence soldiers, enough to bring the total of Kahanistan troops to 30,000.

Their goal was to ensure that Eastern Torontia was not as lawless as it had been claimed by Xirnium to be... but with rumors of Kraven involvement, Kahanistan had a bigger problem.

As a nation historically hostile to Kraven, it would be easy to see that they were merely fighting the Kraven and had no intentions of fighting against its allies.

The troops walked aboard the ship leaving Kahanistan... it would be in Torontia in about two weeks.

Wilbur Airport, West of Spokane

"Sound the alarms. We have a mission." Group Captain Doug Currie spoke to his aide.

"Yes sir" The aide replied before speaking into the PA system. "One wing report to the briefing hall on the double. Repeat: One wing in the briefing hall, now."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the briefing hall/cafeteria/auditorium

"Gentlemen, this is our first mission as an entire wing. As you may already know, war has broken out with The Infinite Empire of Yallak. That means war with Amestria is not too far off. Number thirty-five squadron, you will immediately fly straight to Port Angeles and level the harbour. If you manage to hit the city, good for you, but the harbour is the target. Command wants it destroyed. Completely unusable. Completely unrepairable. You will wait near your aircraft until the order is given. You have priority on the runway."

Currie turned to look at Thirty-two squadron. They would be flying B-1B Lancers as opposed to the B-52s of 35 Squadron. "Thirty-two, you will fly with Thirty-four and attack the airports and harbour facilities around Bowerman Airport. Thirty-three, you will attack the military garrison in South Vancouver. Just for further knowledge, the 11th Strike wing and 12th Strike wing will target the Jefferson County International Airport. A follow up raid by Thirty-nine squadron's B-52s should ensure its destruction. Everyone, to your planes. Wait for the order. Good luck and god speed." Currie snapped a salute to his men and walked out of the room and into his office.

The excited murmur of the well trained pilots could be heard across the airfield as they pitched small tents next to their aircraft. The order could come at any minute and the pilots had to be prepared.

Amestrian Military Movements

All Amestrian and TPG forces along the Amestrian zone/Saint Fedski zone take up offensive positions. They target the Saint Fedski and TIG positions with surface to surface missiles and artillery. If there was any hostile movement form the SF/TIG positions, they would open fire.

The Amestrian 4th and 5th fleets approach the Torontian coast line. Made aware of the situation by encoded transmission, the fleets two super Carriers launch all of their 170 fighters.

Secret: The two submarines target the DMG fleet with 10 N2 bombs and 10 EMP bombs (strategic missiles which can not be intercepted by normal anti-missile missiles, the N2 is equal to 1000 tons of TNT while the EMP delivers a powerful electromagnetic pulse). They also target all SF/TIG airports in Eastern Torontia.

This is Lieutenant Admiral James Conway of the 14th Dominion Fleet onboard the DDN Gravehammer. The Dominion of DMG has sent me along with my naval contingent to escort Convoy MC89, which orginated at the DMI port. We are presently at Alert Level 1 and any interference with this escort will result in action taken on behalf of the Dominion Government. We will be entering costal waters shortly - Any attack on the convoy or escort ships will result in a declaration of war. We reserve the right to defend our soldiers and ships and will not hesitate to destroy you.

Turn back immediately. This is a restricted area and you do not have clearance to pass. DMG has no business here – leave these waters now.
If you come within ten kilometers of this fleet it will be taken as a hostile action against the Infinite Empire and your entire fleet will be sunk. And no, we will not help any survivors – not that there will be any.

You have five minutes to reply and/or change course out of the area.

Dagon surveyed the tactical display, showing the DMG ships still over 45 km away. He knew that Saint Fedski had called them, scraping at any faint hope they could find to survive. Such inferior ships could be easily dispatched, but could he risk war with DMG.
Suddenly he laughed, remember the Emperor’s last words to him. The nearby Lieutenant looked across at him.

“Sir?”
“Ah Lieutenant. Sorry just thinking. And the thoughts are good.”
“Sir?”
“Recall the fleet from Stoddenia.”

The lieutenant gave a small laugh then. “Consider it done.” He headed over to the communications console and punched a few buttons then put the receiver to his mouth.

“Fleet Commander Minaith, Commander Dagon has ordered your fleet to Torontia. ASAP.”
“Understood. Inform the Commander I will be there before the end of the day.”
“Excellent.”

The transport planes carrying the first few reinforcements to the small Kahanistan contingent arrived about 50 km north of the Torontian border.

"General," said one of the pilots to the convoy commander, "should we request permission to land?"

"That would be a good idea," the voice came from the commander's transport.

"Amestrian ATC. This is the 33rd Kahanistan Maintenance Brigade. We request permission to land at the nearest Amestrian controlled airport. Over."

"Roger, Amestrian Command. Landing in South Vancouver."

The crowded transports landed in Vancouver and emptied their contingents. The general in charge eyed the Amestrian officer at the airport, figuring the officer might be shocked that so many troops were recklessly crammed into a few planes.

"Brigadier General Abdul Aziz Kantari," said the Republic Guard uniformed commander of the convoy. "About the cramming, we're pretty low on planes after the Freekish invasion."

"We're here to A. Keep the peace, but it looks like fighting's already broken out so we go to Plan B. We'll supply the Kahanistan garrison in the Fedski zone, but the Kahanistan troops are still officially neutral, understood? We want nothing to do with the dispute between the Amestrians and the Fedskies. If you fight each other, we won't get involved. If you want to fight Tanakis' insurgents, we'll fight alongside whichever occupying power has troops in the area, except for the Kraven troops I've heard are around. I, for one, would like to hang Tanakis myself and end this conflict once and for all."

From his Command Bunker General Gran read the Imperial Transmission. So they wanted him to take immediate action against the Saint Fedski land forces in Central and Eastern Torontia. So be it. Gran leaned back in his chair. It was time to take action and bring out Amestria's secret weapon!

Amestrian Military Movements

The two Amestrian submarines of the fourth and fifth fleets surface rapidly, firing off 30 missiles of their combined 80-missile payload. 20 N2 and 10 EMP bombs fly and penetrate the upper atmosphere, entering Earths orbit. They proceed to descend (without any warning). The subs then quickly re-submerged before they could be detected.

Targets: The N2 bombs are targeting the various SF airports throughout Eastern Torontia. About five missiles are aimed directly at the International Airport in Spokane and another five at Wilbur Airport.

Four of the EMP bombs are targeted at Olympia, another four are targeting Seattle, and two are targeting Spokane. Each upon detonating over the target releases a powerful electromagnetic pulse.

(Note: No one will know initially those missiles came from the Amestrian forces.)

The Amestrian/TPG forces along the Amestrian/SF border open fire upon the SF lines with surface-to-surface missile and artillery fire. The 150,000 Amestrian/TPG troops fortified around Olympia attempt to surround the city with a flanking maneuver.

The Torontian Provisional Government is the sole legitimate government of the State of Torontia! That is non-negotiable! The blockade will remain in force, which is also non-negotiable! Any further SF military buildup will be regarded as an act of war!
TO: Torontian Provisional Government, Amestrian Occupation Authority

SUBJECT: Canceling Diplomatic Talks

I cannot ensue peace-talks when there is a dissenter. So as a result, I shall respect your wishes.

But while I will not judge as of now, there are hints that the international community is going to fry your heads off as soon as you're done with this debacle. While you may be a replacement for the Saharistan War Coalition in rebuilding Torontia, you are no worthy substitute. At least they are honest about their imperialist nature. You claim to be fighting for liberal democracy, I will not say what I think of the State of Amestria yet so that I will not be accused of prejudging, and I need to see the situation unfold more, but the other states in the international community...this may be a stain on Amestria's record and won't be cleaned off for some time.

Seattle International Airport
Alarms are sounding as missiles are detected on radar.

"Sir Sir! Come quickly!" An operator shouts as he presses the alarm button.

The Chief Air Traffic Controller sprints across the tower towards one of the operators. "What is it? Why did you sound the alarms?"

"You said better safe than sorry and well if we're not safe this time, we'll definitely be sorry."

"What do you mean?"

"LOOK! YOU FOOL LOOK!" The operator screams as he points frantically all over the radar screen. "Those are missiles, there's hundreds, if not thousands of them. See those little blips, I assume those to be counters from the Saint Fedski navy, and there definitely aren't enough of them to stop all the incoming."

"Make sure you notify Seattle about this. We don't want to be in shit for causing a panic."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five minutes after the alarms were sounded, the civilians, the only people in the airport, were stampeding around like wildbeasts while the Internal Security Force (Saint Fedskian Military Police) tried to usher them into the lower levels of the terminal which were made of solid, reinforced concrete.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Forget it, forget waiting for the reply from the Occupation Authority, this is our country, our airport: as soon as those missiles cross the plane (an imaginary circle extending 50km around the airport), launch everything we've got. We've got nothing to lose aside from a couple thousand civilian lives."

"Agreed. All decoys and counters will be launched. We should also evacuate the airport. We need to get to the comm bunker before its too late."

"Good call. You go and take charge there. Once you're there, I'll leave here."

"Good luck. See you down there." The operator replied with a slight quiver in his voice as he placed his headset down on the desk and began walking at a brisk pace towards the tower door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within minutes of the detection of the missiles, they crossed the plane. Hundreds of small decoys were launched. The decoys produced large amounts of electronic interference that could effect the accuracy of the missiles. The counters were small, short range rockets that could reach speeds of up to mach 2 at sea level. They were brand new and only Seattle Airport, Wilbur airfield and Everett Naval Base were equipped with them. Hundreds were produced locally in the Boeing Factories.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minutes after the decoys and counters effectively some of the missiles that the fleet could not take down, the surviving ones began to slam into the airfield. An unprotected fuel depot was struck by the first missile. The explosion ripped the nearby adminstration buildings to shreds. As the missiles continued to rain down, parked and abandoned aircraft were destroyed. A 747 daring to take off during the attack managed to get off the ground without being scratched. At an altitude of 27 feet, an incoming missile just happened to hit the aircraft. All 503 people aboard were killed. All civillians.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The deadly rain lasted for five minutes as many missiles hit the poor airport. After it was all said and done, three of the four floors of the main terminal were missing, four fuel depots were destroyed, 283 aircraft lay as burning wrecks and roughly 1300 people were killed, all civilians and airport workers. A further 1500 recieved minor injuries and 300 severe wounds.

Sarzonia

08-12-2005, 16:52

Commodore Norm Spence took a long look at the assignment and grimaced. He knew the assignment was not a standard escort convoy that the Incorporated Sarzonian Navy underwent during times of tension. This was different.

He was being instructed to escort a convoy of tanks to Torontia, a trouble spot that saw several nations imposing a blockade on the territory. The convoy included several Pasteur class hospital ships that had medical supplies and stores of food so the navy could transport humanitarian supplies to the zone. But there was more to the convoy than simply humanitarian aid.

Spence was being assigned to command a fleet that was convoying ST-37 main battle tanks that the Incorporated Army retired with Sarzonia's own Z-34 Bonham MBTs going into service. A separate convoy was escorting Z-33 Jaguar MBTs that were recently retired from service to Saint Fedski to allow that nation to defend its homeland, but this convoy would be facing down a blockade.

"Fuck, sir, how are we going to get through the blockade?"

Spence looked out the monitor that showed the area straight ahead. His flagship, the Avenger class pocket SD Carolina cut an imposing figure for any country's navy, especially one that didn't have a massive warship such as a Doujin or a Vigilant refit. The Carolina, escorted by three Atlantic class large dreadnoughts, five Oceania class large escorts, seven General Dent class large cruisers, 10 Holland class ASW destroyers, 14 Wingate class AA frigates, and seven Navarre class SSNs, would have been a strong show of force on its own, but serving as an escort would be a far cry from the naval battles Spence was trained to fight.

"We'll deal with that when the time comes," Spence said. "For starters, a blockade is an act of war and Yallak has committed an act of war against a Sarzonian ally. By all rights, we can smash the fuck out of them without warning if we want to. But if they choose to respect our neutrality, they'll be forced to step aside."

"Sir, what if they ask to inspect our ships?"

"Sarzonian law expressly forbids foreign military officers on Sarzonian ships," Spence said. "That part isn't up for discussion."

"Sir," the communications officer said. "We're receiving a message from Navy Command.

"Let's hear it," Spence said.

"Attention, task force Carolina. You are instructed to transport military cargo to Saint Fedski, stop. Do not provoke aggressive action unless Yallakian forces attempt to intercede, stop. By order of Vice President Bunhall."

Shit.

"Very well. Helm, set course for Saint Fedski territory, ahead 16 knots."

"Course laid in for Saint Fedski, ahead 16 knots, aye," the helmsman responded. Spence sat back in his command chair and sighed. It wasn't like the Sarzonian government to avoid a fight, but he figured the ISN had bigger fish to fry. Besides that, relations with The Silver Sky were beginning to strain and the country was always on the verge of war with Doomingsland.

If a confrontation was going to come, it would not be initiated by the Sarzonian government. At least not yet.

Shortly after an Amestrian recon patrol was spotted on the SF side of the line. (Not RP'd)

"Captain, the orders are here. We begin now."

"Alright, let's role. Sound the scramble order."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seconds after the alarm sounded, the whines and whistles and roars of the jet engines of the B-1s and the B-52s started up and opened throttle hurtling down the runways. Within 15 minutes, all 5 B-52s, and all 15 B-1's were airborne, heading east, south, north and whichever other way, to gain altitude before flying in on their targets.

"Captain, we have incoming missiles. What are your orders?"

"Fire the MIs. Fire all six batteries (4 MIs to a battery)."

"Yes sir. Battery one, Launching, Batteries two and three, preparing for launch. Batteries four, five and six: arming."

"Commence fire" Currie yelled with excitment. He was the first person to use the MI series missile in combat. The MI-A4 is the current production model. It has four different guidance systems which operate simultaneously. It's primary targets are ballistic missiles in all stages of flight. A 20lbs warhead is carried. The primary target is the stabilization wings and fins, therefore causing the projectile to stray off course. Other targeted areas include the powerplant and the warhead. Tests have shown that the MI-A4 averages effective results on 8 out of every ten missiles intercepted.

"General Fedora, attacks have begun on all fronts. Amestrian forces are attacking Olympia, missiles and bombs are pounding various airports throughout eastern Torontia. Our aircraft have launched attacks on the Yallak Fleet and the First Bomber Group is launching their attacks. Shall we signal for I Corps to begin their attack on Port Angeles? The 10th and 11th Strike Wings are on standby as is the second bomber group."

"Colonel, get in contact with Olympia. Also get the 13th strike wing into action there. Use the 12th as a reserve. If there is an attack by ground forces anywhere else, use them. Whats the status of the supply convoys?"

"Last I heard, they were approaching the blockade. That is before the power went out."

Czardaian/Allied Airbase, The Silver Sky. 1600km from Czardas.

The radio control officer steps out of the tower, watching. The planes have been cleared for landing, and one by one, in great masses and swarms, they begin to touch down.... hundreds of military fighters, mainly Daggers and Peregrines. Wing Leader White Swallow pushes open the cockpit of his SM Dagger and jumps out onto the tarmac, waving to the officer, an old friend from the CAF.

"Well, well! Good afternoon," White Swallow calls. "Just stopping by on our way across the world."

The control officer grins at the other. "It isn't a small force you've got with you today... what kind of business are you on?"

"We're on our way to Torontia... for a change. Helping out our allies, standing by our friends, you know that sort of thing."

He did know that sort of thing. "Which ally are you helping out this time?"

"The Saint Fedskians. Apparently they've gotten themselves into a spot of bother," White Swallow goes on. "Always knew they would, m'self... interventionism does that to one."

"I never did follow the Torontian conflict. What happened there?"

White Swallow brushed through his hair with a frigid hand, the winter sun glaring against planes behind him. "Apparently some imperialist nation got themselves divided up by invading powers. You know, the usual."

"Oh, all right. Didn't another old friend of ours get involved in that?"

"What?"

"Well, there's some word of Sarzonian involvement... is that just a rumor?"

"I wouldn't know, myself. Personally, I doubt they'd be one for imperialist expansion... then again, one never knows with the territory grab. Those colonial ventures, you know."

"I know," says the officer. He looks around the airfield; pilots have finished their brief relaxation time and now they are preparing to set off again. "Looks like refueling's done, isn't it?"

"Looks like it," White Swallow agrees. "I'll go drag them off to fight." He looks up into the sky, where a cloud of white streaks is passing; the bombers and transports, passing across the sky swiftly. But not more swiftly than the fighter half of the armada.

The officer watches later from the control tower as scores of fighters lift off. Some Daggers seemingly casually flip their wings to and from forward-swept positions as they maneuver with the greatest of ease, even performing loops for the benefit of their comrades. He smiles, remembering his days in the Air Force.

"Show-offs..."

Within minutes the fighters have shot away into the sky, their destination awaiting...

Kahanistan encampment, Amestrian zone

General Kantari paced the paths of the encampment. A soldier aproached him.

"General Kantari, there have been missiles fired on an airport in the Fedski zone. At this time, we don't know who launched them."

"Shit, and right when we had friendly relations with most of the occupiers. Get me the President."

The soldier handed a phone to the general, who promptly related all he had heard to the President's secretary.

Six hours later, this statement was issued from the Kahanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs notes with sorrow the deaths of thousands of St. Fedskian and Torontian civilians. Our intelligence indicates that 3,100 men, women, and children were killed or wounded in the attack.

The Government of Kahanistan urges all combatants in this theater of operations to use advanced precision guided missiles which are less likely to strike civilian targets inadvertently.

We are sending medical supplies to aid the injured civilians. Our convoy will be escorted by armed Republic Guards under orders to fire only if fired upon. We strongly discourage any occupying power from engaging them.

Signed,
Margaret Delray,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Meanwhile, an unarmed Kahanistan ship approached the Yallak blockade, seeking entry... It contained 20,000 Republic Guards and 5,000 Imperial Marines, 30 Merkava III tanks, 10 M109A6 Paladin guns, and 100 Humvees.

SUBJECT: Canceling Diplomatic Talks

I cannot ensue peace-talks when there is a dissenter. So as a result, I shall respect your wishes.

But while I will not judge as of now, there are hints that the international community is going to fry your heads off as soon as you're done with this debacle. While you may be a replacement for the Saharistan War Coalition in rebuilding Torontia, you are no worthy substitute. At least they are honest about their imperialist nature. You claim to be fighting for liberal democracy, I will not say what I think of the State of Amestria yet so that I will not be accused of prejudging, and I need to see the situation unfold more, but the other states in the international community...this may be a stain on Amestria's record and won't be cleaned off for some time.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs
Joshua Lin

The State of Amestria,
Amestria City,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

With bombs going off in Torontia the Foreign Ministry is too busy to bother with a response to South East Asia, who has no presence in Torontia anyway. The message is deemed not important enough for an immediate response, filed somewhere and then forgotten.

Southeastasia

09-12-2005, 11:25

Joshua Lin continued on as usual with his work, and at the same time waited for the response. But as the hours past, and he hadn't received a response from the Amestrians. But it didn't matter now. The Saint Fedskians may have made a great mistake of not diplomatic and not using the right words to convey the meaning across, and their former friends, the Yallakians, Xirniumites and Amestrians, and it seemed like they would have been hammered to nothingness.

But it turned out that the Commonwealth had some ace-cards. The Council of Air Powers. Southeast Asia had friendly relations with the Saint Fedskians, and now they were allied together. The Union didn't want conflict. While the Amestrians might have refused to solve things diplomatically, they could force them to. With ties to influential states such as Sarzonia, he could contact their foreign minister who would in turn pass the ball to nations that also possessed huge political influences, an example being Iuthia.

With the ISN also delivering Soviet-designed-and-produced tanks to Saint Fedskian forces, this was a tricky situation. On one hand, the Yallakians would have to eventually combat the Mekhevs, so they might as well sink the transports. On the other hand, they would let them go through and deliever the tanks, knowing that while their fleet greatly outnumbered the Sarzonian convoy, they would take a pretty nasty beating and drag in a pro-Saint Fedski Sarzonia. The Demogades were another dilemma, - while smaller, their Guardian Angel fighters and Phoenix helicopters were amongst the most advanced and most powerful units in the Dominion's arsenal.

It seemed pretty tense....who would emerge?

Yallak

09-12-2005, 12:00

OOC: I'm assuming your targeting multiple ships here otherwise it seems pointless to target radar/communications. If this is inaccurate let me know and I'll change my post. I am also assuming that not all your planes will reach firing positions as ground defences are in range of you first. (However for my reply I will still take into account every missile you fired.) But - this may sound harsh but in terms of numbers and firepower you are way outclassed and not many at all of your relatively few missiles will make it to my ships. Note also that my defences will not include the third part of them, which is jamming and countermeasures. (Such strong defences are why I launch overkill strikes on my targets). I am being very generous in this reply - if you were someone I hated IC (like Kraven) it would be very different (we only mildly dislike you) - and this is the same fleet that whooped Kraven's too.

IC:

Seconds after the first flight of planes was detected on an intercept with the fleet, the six hundred CS-12 Arachnus SAM vehicles in the Mount Olympia military bases - using their own on-board radars and up-links from the naval and air elements in the area - had locks on the large yet insignificant Saint Fedskian plane armada. As the aircraft flew towards the Imperial ships, the entrenched SAM batteries began firing upon the enemy, each one capable of launching twelve missiles before reloading. Further down the coast near one of the initial landing zones a further two hundred Arachnus sat waiting and ambushed any planes that flew within thirty miles.

In charge of the most Northern Mount Olypia base, Captain Delekth sent immediate word to the Khorland taskforce sitting just off the coast. Captain Rauz did not delay in preparing an appropriate welcome for the severely outclassed Saint Fedskians.

"Lieutenant. Track the planes and prepare to target any inbound missiles. Alert all CAP patrols to intercept hostiles."
"Yes, Sir. Sentry CIWS online - all missiles systems active."

With a maximum range of 87.5 miles, the SAM defences were well within range to blast the enemy aircraft from the air. But why bother, thought Rauz, I have a surprise waiting for them.

Launching first, were the 70 Hornets. Armed with 2 HARMs each, they sped in at almost top speed, towards the Yallak Fleet at sea level, getting to within 30 miles of the fleet before being engaged by the defences, the 140 HARMs were fired. Hopefully they would knockout the enemy radar and communications before the main attacks came from the Tigers.

As the enemy craft which survived the gauntlet of fire from the SAM vehicles launched their weapons the Khorland battleships, which sat in a standard defensive formation, released their AIM-45's to destroy the incoming warheads. With each ship twelve six tube air defence missile launchers (=7200 missiles total in one reload), the one hundred-ship fleet effectively had a six-to-one ratio against total number of incoming warheads.

As the first wave of HARMs approached, eight hundred and forty AIM-45's soared out to intercept them. The massive barrage of fragmentation warheads ripped through the HARM's and only one in ten made it through.
As they came ever closer to the fleet, the Imperial Sentry CIWS' opened fire, chain gun bullets tearing through the pathetic remains of a missile strike. One particularly lucky weapon breached the firestorm, shielded by the two warheads next to it and slammed into the top side armour of the manoeuvring IYS Interrogator's operations tower. The fragmentation of the blast, while mostly contained by the armour, still managed to shatter part of the radar assembly.

The second group of aircraft, 40 Tiger IIIs and 45 F-16Gs, began streaking well over at well over mach one, straight out over the channel and down the straight, right for the Yallak Fleet. Just eighty miles from the Fleet, the 40 Tigers fired off their 160 Harpoons just before going into a steep dive towards the water. Levelling just ten meters above the ocean, the Tigers pulled a tight turn as they head back towards their carriers. No sooner had the first flight hit the deck, a second flight launched their missiles from roughly the same area, before copying the earlier flight.

The next two flights (80 aircraft), flying full tilt just above sea level, released their harpoons from seventy miles away from the Yallak fleet. By now, all 245 Falcons were airborne and patrolling the skies above the Tigers. If there was even a report of an enemy aircraft, they would spring loose from the tight formation and attack.

The final two flights of Tigers (80 aircraft), one high, one low, fired off their harpoons sixty-five miles from the targets.

As each of the six volleys of one hundred and sixty Harpoons from the waves of Tiger IIIs were launched, the Khorland battleships loosed nine hundred and sixty AIM-45's in return. Outnumbered in such away the same devastating results as before were achieved. Those that did manage to amazingly avoid being intercepted by every one of the six missiles targeted at each Harpoon ran into the chain-gun defences of the Sentry CIWS'.

From amongst the smoke and explosive blasts resounding in the sky just several hundred meters from the fleet, nineteen Harpoons escaped devastation.

The first three slammed harmlessly into along the hull armour of the IYS Proteus, leaving nothing more than several blackened marks which would need to be repainted. Captain Graeth smiled as he watched. They cannot hope to master the might of the Empire. It would have been much less painless for them to have surrendered in the beginning. The smile slowly faded though as another Harpoon exploded against the stern building section. The blast twisted and tore the wall open, sending shards of red hot metal fragments splashing out across the decking and into the ocean. Bastards. I will enjoy killing them now. Graeth's thoughts became visible in the anger on his face as he watched another missile disintegrated just metres from his bridge - its detonation pummelling the hull with shrapnel. Although safely behind the reinforced window, he ducked for cover under the nearby command console and the Lieutenant at its screen.

The remaining warheads had similar results when they actually made it to their targets. The advanced and thick hull armour proving more than resilient to the small weapons - that did however, cause damage to several of the ships in their upper sections - the IYS Iorlass having one of its secondary turrets blown apart.

Before the haze of battle could clear, the fleet of battleships sent their remaining six hundred AIM-45's out after the last flights of withdrawing aircraft and any of their covering planes within eighty-seven miles.

Once safely back within range of the defences, the Tigers would join their Falcon buddies at 45,000-50,000 feet waiting to pounce on any threatening aircraft while the remaining six flights of Tigers launched and began their attack.

Above the fleet, the three wings of ASF-32 'Shadow's' that had been on CAP near the battleships moved into attack formations and headed out after the Saint Fedskian armada and its escorts. Totalling seven hundred and twenty craft, divided into sixty squadrons and spread out across the fleet in several tiers of altitude - each plane packed fourteen air-to-air missiles - and they had been ordered to use them to annihilate the Saint Fedskian scum.

Of the eight AIM-155 ‘Starfire’ long range missiles (with a range of 156 miles), each craft fired off four (=2880 missiles) at the cowards who were running back to their carriers - at least intelligent enough to try and escape the reprisal of their actions.

The other half (also =2880) were launched off at the fighters flighting cover for the withdrawal.

IYS Bloodthirster

Dagon listened closely as a communication came in from the Khorland task force.

"Commander Dagon, this is Captain Rauz. Enemy missile strike is over - damage containable. I have sent my three wings to engage the enemy and am requesting a wing of NSB's for counter attack."

A look of relief came over his face at the message.

"Excellent Captain. You will have your fighters. I will load them up with a special armament for you. Trust me - you will enjoy this."

Across the fleet, carriers began to ready and launch squadron after squadron of NSB-62 fighter bombers. Once all of them were in the air they would head out into Western Torontia. Saint Fedski's time of demise was at hand.

Sarzonia

09-12-2005, 16:18

Sarzo looked at the reports streaming in from Torontia and Saint Fedski and blinked. His stated intentions of supplying Saint Fedski had done nothing to even register with Yallak or the rest of the nations attempting to blockade the region. He knew that meant one thing: It was time to play hardball.

Sarzo called a meeting of the branch chiefs and Vice Presidents to the Gray House situation room "code blue," meaning it was top secret. Sarzo watched grimly as Vice President for Defence John Newman, Vice President for the Home Guard Bill Lighton, Vice President for Naval Operations Bunhall, and the branch chiefs all filed in. Sarzo looked out at the room and got right into the discussion.

"Looks like Yallak isn't backing down one bit. What do you have?"

"One squadron heading toward Saint Fedski escorting military supplies. That's it."

"What about other assets?"

"We can deploy the fleets we were preparing to send to Banduria until they stood down."

"Who's commanding the fleets?"

"Vice Admiral Tom Goughan."

"Good. Assign him command of Task Force Alpha and have him set course for Saint Fedski. Have Admiral Marcus command Task Force Beta and send him to Yallakian waters."

"Sir! That could provoke Yallak into war."

"Then we'll tell them and the rest of the international community that we have been provoked. They're attacking our allies in the Council of Air Powers. Besides that, we're not going to jump into this unprepared. I'm directing you all to activate the Home Guard and all reserve units. Prepare to recommission as many ships as we can."

"Are you sure we can afford to fight a war, Mr. President?"

"We may find out soon enough," Sarzo said. "Though I don't think Yallak should want to risk having six fleets up their cracks. Activating the home guard will allow the army to prepare for offensive operations since it will triple the troop levels to 15 million. And the Air Guard will conduct combat air patrols and get its AWACS patrols in the air. If Yallak wants war, they'll get war. And it won't be pretty. Dismissed.

Official Statement, Incorporated Sarzonian Government

We have stood on the sidelines while our friends and allies in Saint Fedski have been slaughtered and diplomacy has failed due to your government's unreasonable demands. Let it be known that the Incorporated States of Sarzonia will tolerate no further aggression from you. We demand that you cease your blockade of Torontia, which is by definition an act of war; and that you stand down your military units or there will be dire consequences.

We would still prefer a diplomatic solution to the crisis that has developed, but the proverbial ball is in your court. Choose wisely.

The Imperial blockade does not reside on your nation and hence is not an act of war. It is deployed around a fraction nation in need of rebuilding - rebuilding that is delayed by Saint Fedski and its lack of co-operation.

Three times we have tried to enter negotiations with them and every time they have been arrogant, even walking out of all attempts to run joint operations. They have left us with no choice after blockading an Amestrian operated port. We make no aggressions – only reprisals.

The Incorporated Sarzonian Government is at all times allowed to pass in and out of our blockade. It is only there to stop the piracy that Saint Fedski has become a part of. The Infinite Empire of Yallak always prefers a diplomatic approach to problems but they have all failed so far. Should you convince your ally to be more reasonable then we would be happy to resume working peacefully with them.

So you see, it is Saint Fedski’s choice to make. We suggest you help them make it.

Federate Harsimran shifted through his reports as he through the non-essential ones into a pile that could've reached the ceiling if combined. As he did so, his eye's caught something. He scanned it thoroughly as his eye's widened in shock. He threw the folder down as he reached for his com and shouted into it, "I want to have the Air Chief, Naval Chief, and Army Chief in my office immediately."

Several minutes later the room had been assembled with four men sitting at a round table. President Harsimran stared at the men who were getting comfortable in their seats. Not to waste any time, Harsimran quickly passed formalities and went to the true purpose, "Commanders, I have an important objective for you. I've received news of a fatal blockade of our allies in Saint Fedski that is stripping them of their resources and needs by warmongering states that only wish to cause war and destruction. It is therefore considered our job to get rid of them." The room remained silent until the Naval Chief, Dukst Ion, spoke up, "Sir, this might be a risk for the nation. We could be plunged into war that could take the lives of our young men. And besides other than ourselves, we don't know anyone else who will be helping Saint Fedski, yet." Immediately Harsimran cut him off, "Actually we do. We've just received word from Sarzonia they are getting ready to launch a fleet to make the blockaders stand down. We will not be alone." The room once more fell into a deep silence that was shattered finally by the deep voice of the Air Chief Prohaska Faugo, "I think it is perfectly responsible plan. I can have the 1st Air Armada attack the enemy naval fleet with support of heavy naval weaponary. Some use of tactics will ensure that we will have air supremecy over the fleet, that should be our first objective. Do you not agree? I'll have the 1st Air Armada be ready by the end of the week seeing as the 1st Air Armada has been on high alert for the past few weeks because of the "Quester" situation that never sparked." Everyone nodded in agreement. Lastly the Ground Chief, Suka Carme, spoke up, "Unless we have a full all out ground war, I suggest we send the 3rd Army and 4th Army to the Saint Fedski mainland to fortify and get ready for any invasion. We will have to punch a hole through first, though." Harsimran broke him off, "I do not wish to have this turn into an all out war. For the time being, we will only deploy our naval and air assets, though, a fleet carrying soldiers and our ground units will be close behind if needed."

The men got up as they left the room and ended the meeting as Harsimran put up the official response.

I’m afraid you demonstrate a great lack of knowledge on the current situation. There is no blockade on Saint Fedski, only on Torontia, where your allies are disrupting the rebuilding process of a broken and shattered nation.

If you wish to resolve this peacefully then throwing around threats of violence and war is not the way to achieve it. The Infinite Empire of Yallak is always willing to negotiate – all we require is the co-operation of Saint Fedski – which they have so far failed to give, preferring to call in their allies without giving whole truths to them and escalating the situation.

Official Declaration from the Desk of President Kyanka of Independent Montana

It has been fourty years since my father was killed by Union troops, and thirty-seven years since the Union collasped and we were ensured our freedom. However recent events in Torontia our crazed neighbor have demonstrated we need to have a better control of our borders. Hostilities continue to rise and the residents of Idaho are defenseless. Their mad leader remains on the run thanks to poor security in Anarchic Idaho and we feel it is time for us to interfere. With a greatly increased defense budget and our allies in Leafanistan, we have purchased the components to several mechanized infantry divisions and have crossed the border into the parts of Idaho that weren't claimed by other nations, a void on the map of the former Union.

There should be no wildcat responces from other nations, we are simply ensuring that no more Tornotian rebels enter Torontia from lawless Idaho. The people's there have no government and live by the law of mob rule, families die and until a few weeks ago we couldn't deploy ourselves there.

We shall bring democratic government to Idaho and shall not take any currently owned property from them. We are going in to stabilize to area and set up patrols to ensure that convoys full of weapons that everyday kill innocent Torontians don't get into Torontia. We are simply moving 3 Mechanized Infantry Divisions into Idaho and are stabilizing the region and setting up patrols.

[END]

3 Mechanized Infantry Divisions of the Republican Army of Montana rushed into lawless Idaho, at Boise they were welcomed with cheers before the gangs that formely owned the city tried to fight back, they were quickly put down.

OOC: Before you go nuts and crush my tiny nation with your big guns, we are preventing terrorists from getting in from Idaho. And before those who are helping the terrorists somehow assassinate my leader, you can just dodge the patrols or move in via California or via the Black Hand of Nod's approach.

Independent Montana

10-12-2005, 05:08

-Former Yukon Territory-
"Independent Montana has made their move, once Idaho falls Tanakis's rebels will be forced out of Idaho to the north and south, we need an action to silience them. I'm suggesting we cut across NorthWest Territories and lead an invasion of what was formerly Alberta to meet up at the northern Border of Idaho, with luck Independent Montana will have already secured the border and we'll end up leading them into a kill zone." "Make it so."

Independent Montana Border

The border, a vast expanse, most likely, not guarded. And in this case it wasn't. In the city proper 3 miles away people were at LAN parties and bars. Women were few and far between out this far, and when they were around, you either wore a full body suit and a condom, or you avoided her psychotic boyfriend/girlfriend. The occasional Technical drove by, but most likely not on patrol, but commuting from the parties on the Friday evening to home.

Kahanistan

10-12-2005, 06:24

General Kalazanov radioed Central Command in Kahanistan.

"Intel says there is an insurgent presence in BC, we'll need heavy weapons and more supplies for the troops, we're going in after them."

"General, we'll have another ship deployed within two days, we're rounding up all the spare Merkavas and Paladins we have left. If you need air support, you're fucked, because we lost almost all of our air force, it'll be a few days before we can get any more MiG's in here."

"What about the MiG wing that we've pulled from St. Fedski? I heard it's under new management."

"Yeah, its old commander is getting shipped off somewhere, I forget where, but she's on vacation for now and the XO was promoted to Lt. Colonel. I can have his wing sent over soon, the planes have already landed in Kahanistan. The carrier is going to be there in about three days, is that too long?"

"Negative. It's AOK. How much can I expect?"

"60 Merkava IV tanks, 100 M109A6 Paladins, 200 Humvees, and enough MRE's and supplies to keep your 30,000 troops stocked for a month. The carrier will have 16 MiG-29's, 5 MiG-31's and it'll be carrying ammunition and supplies too."

"Good. Kalazanov out."

The general sat down on his cot and groaned. Three days? What are our troops going to do for three days? Of course, there was the basic policing they had done before the escalation of Kahanistan involvement, but that got boring with greater security...

Amestria

10-12-2005, 06:35

The Amestrian Regional Commander had something for General Kalazanov to do. "In BC the TPLA released a biological weapon, some type of Super Flu... So far, we have managed to contain it, but if you are going to deploy your forces to BC, you should have them reacquainted with quarantine procedure and the proper equipment (air filters, gloves, hazmat suits, est.)..."

"Never go anywhere without them," said the general, showing the Amestrian the truck full of NBC suits.

"We have plenty of experience with chemical warfare. During the Battle of Al-Bahr against the Freeks, both sides used VX nerve agent liberally."

"I don't want another war that we have no association with whatsoever!"

Field Marshal Jonares Hogan slammed his fist as the words came out, the desk vibrating with an angry motion as the acoustic waves rippled from it, projecting across the room. After a second of recollection, he sighed, and stood upright. "Sorry, Mr. President. You must understand however, the Omzian forces had already been quite overstreched by the affairs around New Konara, and -"

"I heard it," President Loran Vansare cut the Marshal off as he dipped his chin into a cavity formed my his fist, his standard method of thinking. "But this conflict isn't solely about military records, as you should understand. It carries political implications and the potential for future ramifications that will damage our status diplomatically if we do not take the initiative and lend a helping hand for one of our allies in the Council of Air Powers. We had helped to found it, and now seeing that one of the members need our help, there is no reason not to assist them."

No reason not to assist them as it would appear to foreign diplomats, he supposed. But he quickly suppressed that thought in his head, and looked into the aging Marshal's eyes. "I know that you would point out the fact that this does not threaten Omzian national security in any way, and I am fully aware of the fact that the soil we will be fighting on is a colonized one from the start, but I want you to get those rebellious thoughts out of your head. The political consequences resulting from our lack of initiative and sign of action will certainly damage our standing in CAP, and will most likely carry long term political as well as military consequences."

"If we do, then we are certainly attacking Yallak. An outright unprovoked attack on another nation, nevertheless, isn't what the Omzian Forces want to do," the Marshal pointed out, his face marked by a series of lines that when deciphered altogether, represented him as a tired and concerned man.

"What assets can you people deploy?"

The Field Marshal looked up, and paused for a moment as if a thunderstorm of thoughts ravaged through his mind. Recovering back afterwards, he said, "the Navy has just came back from the Anti-Imperialist Deterrence Operation, and the army would require a considerable bulk of time to be transported, something that I am very cautious about considering the blockade already set there - the soil that we will be fighting on will be faraway. Convoy operations are entirely possible, but-"

"But what?"

"Will tie down the Omzian naval assets required to make a successful engagement against the Yallak ships in an open battle," the Field Marshal said. "However, on the other hand, I will call on OMASC to boost the shipment of war materiel to Saint Fedski, and I will find some ways to make the assets in the Air Force work at this time. But the current situation is all a big mess in our intelligence arms' point of view, and further investigations must be taken to ensure that we can fight this future war successfully. It will cost time of course, but we will see how the war will untangle itself."

"And this way I can at least have the face to send off a message," the President concluded, and extended out his hand which bore a small paper envelope. "Alright, give the enclosed slip to Sara just outside of the door. I have a statement to make."

OOC: Despite the fact that I won't likely be participating much due to IRL troubles (so my apologies), current contributions will include the shipment of basic war materiel and munitions to Saint Fedski, followed (hopefully) by air force deployments, which then will be followed by a naval deployment if possible.

McKagan

10-12-2005, 19:57

On SRN, McKagan's largest news network, Lou Bryant, an extreme liberal reporter begins his show.

"Our usual programming is agressive towards the trade policies of other nations, military spending, or the Christain Right Wing that has been trying to reorganize after several paid hits against their leadership. However, tonight we turn our attention towards the war crimes going on in the former state of Torontia. In this special presentation, we are broadcasting a direct message to the international community."

The screen goes dark, then comes back on.
--
First they went through an opressive dictatorship, and now it appears they are pawns in a much larger scheme. The people of Torontia have been proven as an intelligent group, only they lack the infrastructure to support a democratic society.

The leaders of Yallak, Saint Fedski, and Amestria ALL claim to be in Torontia on humanitarian missions to help rebuild the nation. Yet it has been months since the downfall of the nation and you are still there. Amestria and Yallak especially have claimed to be here on simple rebuilding missions, yet has over ONE MILLION ARMED TROOPS in the nation. Furthermore, we cannot blame Saint Fedski for not being able to conduct their mission. They are not being allowed to ship their own supply systems into the nation by a MASSIVE, THOUSAND SHIP BLOCKADE of YALLAKIAN vessels off the coast.

We ask, why is this needed to rebuild a nation? In the months the nation has been occupied, only a few insurgent attacks have taken place. Doing nothing more than planting a few IED's or taking shots at UAV's, they have done VERY little in the means of conventional fighting.

Troops on the ground cannot fight a virus they cannot see. They are useless in that war. We ask; why has Amestria chosen not to pull its massive army out of the nation to keep it from infection? What are they trying to hold? Our reporters have came across information that shows a good deal of proof towards the theory that LACK of RECONSTRUCTION on the Amestrians part led to this flu outbreak.

Think about it: How do MASSES of people catch the flu at one time? How close do these people have to be living to each other to simply ALL get sick at once? It is as if the Amestrians have put military ideas ahead of civil ones. Are the Torontian people living in such POOR conditions due to the lack of Amestrian reconstruction that they are all suffering from easily cureable virus strains? We ask, how does a nation that has been "rebuilt" as the Amestrians claim fall sick to an easily treatable disease? Perhaps the Amestrians relocated the Torontian people to concentration camps while the Amestrian soldiers live in the houses of the Torontian people?

We ask, how is this outbreak ONLY contained to the Amestrian zone of the nation? Saint Fedski, who has SIGNIFICANTLY less troops in the nation, has reported no massive outbreaks of flu.

It is my conclusion that because of the poor conditions in the Amestrian zone have led to the Amestrians fearing the Saint Fedskians could begin to pull out. This, leaving an economically powerful nation beside their own poverty stricken one, would be a major embarrassment and defeat to Amestrian diplomacy. By allowing a much smaller nation to do a common job better than them, the Amestrians are fearful that they will be questioned and eventually face two choices in Torontia: Pull out, or admit to their own imperialistic goals. Because of this, they seak to undermine the efforts of the Saint Fedskians.

I challenge the Amestrians to send ANY official to SRN Headquarters here in New Miami, McKagan for a LIVE, INTERNATIONALLY BROADCAST debate. If you think you can even begin to disprove my claims, you are free to come do it.

Disclaimer: The opinions broadcast in this report are not the opinions of SRN, the McKagan Government, military, or any other persons.

To international viewers, the SRN logo flashes across the screen before going to the prearranged programming.

In New Miami, Lou Bryant walks off the stage of the show, up a flight of stairs, and to the upper-floor Executive meeting room of SRN. Inside the room a group of four men with dark clothing walked to him.

"Your report was adequate, the divison will be most happy. We will be back in a few days with more offers. Just to add, your 100 million USD has been transfered..."

EMP/N2 Strikes
Here goes...there are bound to be some mistakes...so please politely point them out if they are of any major importance

Operations Room, Government Bunker,Seattle
"General Fedora, we have acutally lost radio contact with units inside Seattle. However, we still have contact some with elements in other cities and areas and messengers are currently seeking out unit leaders to deliver new isntructions."

"What happened?" Fedora asked.

"Not too sure yet sir, apparently this is happening to Olympia as well."

"Must be an E-bomb."

"A what sir?"

"An E-bomb, a bomb that fries all unprotected circuitry. Most of our equipment is unprotected, only our vitals are, which means big problems for the near future as all the communications of invidiual units are useless. We will still have comms down to the divisional level, but below that we have nothing. Check to see if we still have communication with the air bases."

"Right away sir".

A couple minutes later the officer returns, "Sir, all air bases are online aside from Wilbur. I will dispatch a flight immediately."

"Wilbur? Shit lets hope the aircraft got off in time. Order the vaults open. Get all protected communication equipment out and dispatch to the bases. Send word for all units to provide protection for main line communication from company level and up."

"Yes sir." The officer responded before remembering "oh and sir, there are unconfirmed reports of N2 bombs hitting Spokane. That message came from General Uppers directly, he sounded devestated. Said there was no communications with anybody aside from the other divisions that are on the other side of the country. They need immediate help, there is an unknown amount of civilian casualties. On a lighter note, he says the airport...which is now totally destroyed is finally under their control."

"SPOKANE?!!?! WHO THE FUCK WOULD TARGET SPOKANE? AND WHY?" Fedora shouted with surprise, but mostly with anger and disgust. "Get in me in contact with Sarnia immediately. We must let them them know what just happened. This mess just went over my head. Way over. Over a million people in that city and someone targets it? Who was it that reported Sub activity out there? Was it Admiral Bradley?"

"It was. Want me to get him on the wire?"

"Yes, yes do that. I must find out who's sub it was. Even though only Yallak and Amestria have subs in the region, I'd still like to know which of the terrorists targetted civilians."

"I'll have the Admiral on the wire in a couple of minutes."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wilbur Airport
Group Captain Currie was pacing anxiously as he waited for the missiles to hit.

"Captain, Captain, urgent news from Seattle, straight from General Fedora's office."

"What is it?"

"There are reports of EMP attacks on Olympia and Seattle with devastating results. Apparently only large formations are contactable while the smaller units and garrisons remain in the dark. The General asks that we launch some helicopters to the local garrisons to check up on them and issue them new gear."

"Tell the General that will be done and that...." Currie was interupted by an alarm.

"INCOMING MISSILES!" Someone in the communications room screamed before running towards the door and tripping over a chair.

"Tell them we're under attack. All aircraft airborne safely."

The officer didn't need to respond, he sprinted out of the room, pounded the air raid alarm and sent off the message. There was 5 minutes before impact. The local AMMs had effectively knocked out a decent number of the threats, but some still got through.

The airport was in a panic, people running everywhere to their designated bunkers, people grabbing personal weapons, helicopters taking to the air. It was madness. In two minutes, the airport could effectively cease to exist.

--Two minutes later--
The whine of the missiles could be heard as the local, land based version of the Phalanx, still in prototype stage, opened up hitting nothing but two crows, a sparrow and a blue jay. The first explosion landing 400m east of the runway, caused no damage to the runway itself, but the neighboring "air village" comprised of hangers, above ground fuel and ammo depots, and the residences of the aircrew was completely wiped off the map. In it's place remained a massive crater. The shockwave from the explosion was felt by people in Spokane. In the neighbouring village of Wilbur, houses were knocked down, people burried alive and the damage caused was equal to a large hurricane or two. Of the 1200 personnel who had been on the base at the time, 265 were killed because they failed to make it to safety and/or ignored the warning. Another 300 were injured, 26 seriously. The remaining personnel had managed to find a safe place in the underground air raid shelters before the missile hit.
The second N2 bomb, landed less than a minute later, on the north end of the runway, directly above one of the shelters. Causing little to know surface damage, it blasted a large crater and blasted right into the air raid shelter killing 230, of the 248 occupants. The blast also caused a large portion of the runway to crack and a lot of it crumble.
A stray aircraft, flying in from a small airfield outside of Spokane, attempted to land on the "organized crumbs" that represented a runway. The plane was executing a perfect landing, as was normal for such an experience pilot, it touched on a solid part of the runway but before the front wheel could touch, it hit the "crumbs" and the pilot lost control. The plane spun sideways, then began flipping and rolling before exploding and coming to a rest at the base remains of the Air Traffic Control tower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spokane
Spokane, having a combined military garrison of two patrols, but a population of 5 million civilians and a couple hundred, if not thousands of resistance members was completely leveled.
Arriving first was the EMP bomb, severing all of the few lines of limited communication from the 2 patrols and the Torontian Brigade outside the city.
Two N2 bombs landed a couple of minutes ofter the EMP. The first bomb landed directly on the city. Actually, landed right on top of one of the Torontian patrols. The second bomb, which was right on target smashed right into the center of the runways, with the same results of the Wilbur blasts. Both bombs wreaked havoc on the community. Not a building was left standing and almost no one was to be seen alive. The airport was on big crater while every building, having not been prepared like the buildings in SF controlled Torontia, was in ruins. Patrols from the Torontian brigade that was in combat with the remains of the Red Tide resistance, immediately began searching for survivors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ritzville Municipal Airport
Use: Torontian Civilian Airbase/Private Airfield
Result of N2 Bomb: Eliminated.
Indirect Result: No air support against remaining Red Tide supporters in Far Eastern Torontia
Casualties: 250 Torontian Militia, 36 Civilians, 2 SF Officers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methrow Valley State Airport
Use: One Squadron of F-16s
Result: Completely destroyed.
Indirect Result: None
Casualties: 100 Personnel. No Civilian Casualties
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pangborn Memorial Airport
Use: Two Fighter Squadrons, Two Strike Fighter Squadrons
Result: Heavily Damaged
Indirect Result: Four entire squadrons without mechanics, a home, or fuel/weaponry
Casualties: Entire support personnel for 4 squadrons. And two entire squadrons of aircraft.

Thus: 3 smaller airports have been rendered useless for the near future, Spokane has been completely leveled and the airport also completely useless (even though it already was), Wilbur Airport completely useless. Casualties (deaD): 2500+ military (not including indirect results such as fires, injuries, friendly fire incidents from Jumpy Triggers etc. too many civilians to count, and 30 aircraft.

Today in Response to the massive attacks against Saint Fredski the Lone Alliance Government has made an official if somewhat unusual declaration, All forces stand down! This attack has gone on long enough! Torontia is being ripped apart by all of these factions we will engage all who continue this mess. Later reports claim that the Government speaker has been suffering from lack of sleep causing his comments to appear undiplomatic, neverless this is still the official stand of the Lone Alliance. This is the LAN signing off.

-Lone Alliance Military Movements
250,000 More soldiers are shipped to Alaska along with Tons of Armored Vehicles and equipment, a 20 square Miles section of land is purchased from the local government and turned into a Lone Alliance Command Base.

Re: Statements of The Lone Alliance

The Infinite Empire is, as it always has been, willing to end the hostilities in Torontia. We came to Torontia to end the violence being conducted by terrorists, and since then Saint Fedski has joined them in these acts of death.

But, if Saint Fedski is prepared to co-operate with Amestria in rebuilding this nation, all they have to do is say so and then this stupidity will all be over.

As such I urge the Saint Fedskians to contact us and Amestria. To show our resolve, I am ordering the bomber strikes that were to be conducted in mere minutes to be delayed for four hours to allow Saint Fedski time. Let us end this now – peacefully.

Lord Balor, Emperor of Yallak

OOC: I am delaying the bomber runs on you (the missiles strikes against your ships have already been launched).

One Kilometer East of Olympia
The Shelton Offensive, Operation Amendment

Ahead of the first armoured formation, the burning ruins of Olympia turned the sky black with smoke. The Imperial artillery had been pounding it since the order to remove Saint Fedski was given and as always they were highly effective.

General Forge climbed out of her tank and sat down on the turret, her communicator in hand. Looking around she observed her forces preparing for the blow. They had split off into two separate groups, each with two thousand tanks divided into four waves.

Climbing up next to her appeared Captain Cyprian.

“The men are in position, General.”
“Good. The tanks are to hold here and provide fire support until called for.”
“Yes, General.”

As Cyprian left, Forge put the small device she was holding to her mouth and spoke.

“Captain Lacoi. Are you in position?

Two Kilometers South of Olympia
The Centralia Offensive, Operation Amendment

“As ordered, General”, answered Lacoi.
“Then begin your attack. All tanks are to hold at a distance of one kilometer until otherwise ordered.”
“But wouldn’t they be best placed to flatten resistance?”
“Yes, but we have dealt enough damage to the city already. There is nothing left the infantry cannot deal with, and the tanks are always close by.”
“Understood.”

With a signal of his hand, Lacoi forces began their advanced towards the remnants of Olympia.

Outskirts of Olympia

Now aboard an SA-23 Darkhorse IFV, General Forge led the Shelton offensive towards the city at full speed. With her came the advanced attack element, a total of two hundred vehicles bearing a regiment of Arkhein Shocktroops – heavily armed and armoured veterans who by themselves could probably secure the city. *

*OOC: SF I need to know what you’ve got in the city, troops and defences and/or for you to make an IC reaction to this so far, so that I can carry out the attack.

Press release from the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski
The Commonwealth of Saint Fedski has wanted nothing but peace in Torontia. Unfortunately, our wishes turned out to be in vain as the Commonwealth was attacked by it's hostile, neighbours of The Infinite Empire of Yallak and the State of Amestria.

Since arriving in Torontia, The Commonwealth of Saint Fedski has among other things:

Established 3 brand new, state of the art hospitals, including one solely for children.
Maintained a low crime rate and prevented an Insurgency.
Reestablished Trade from Torontia. Exports consist of Urainium, Iron, Aircraft and Automotive parts, agricultural commodities (such as lumber, wheat, and dairy products), Electronics and computer software.
Managed to Rebuild much of the city of Seattle after a mistaken attack by the forces of Red Tide while encouraging the publicly imperialist Red Tide to withdraw from Torontia.
Established Peace Conferences, National Council talks and opened up the City of Olympia and the Camp Weasley Harris Naval Reservation for said talks.

The State of Amestria has:

Held Elections. But has condemned the election format in the Saint Fedskian sector.
Threatened to invade Saint Fedskian Protected Torontia.
Encouraged and established a Blockade of all Saint Fedskian shipping to and from Torontia. Effecitvely starving the Torontian people and the peacekeepers of the Commonwealth.
Encouraged terrorist attacks on Saint Fedskian Protected area.
Attacked unarmed, unescorted convoys of Humanitarian aid.
Has begun a full scale war against the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski and the Member Republics of New McFarland and North Saint Clair.
Has killed an unknown number of civilians with a bombing raid on the City of Spokane.

With such comparisons, it would be unfair to the People of Torontia to "cooperate with Amestria" when Amestria should be cooperating with the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski. If the Infinite Empire of Yallak and the State of Amestria wish to continue this completely stupid and unnecessary war, let it be known that the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski is protecting the rights, the lives and the futures of the people of Torontia.

Peace will be declared when the following conditions are met:

Yallak ends the blockade.
Amestria and Yallak return to their side of the border.
Amestria and Yallak declare their readiness to have talks at Camp Weasley Harris Naval Reservation.
Amestria and Yallak cease their verbal attacks on the Torontian Government and the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski.

Peace is all we wish for. If these simple conditions cannot be met, then consider it understood that the Infinite Empire of Yallak and the State of Amestria do want cooperative peace, they want to dominate the peace.
