May I just ask who posted this stupidly offensive messaging on here, I cannot believe someone took my account over. Anyway, I have reclaimed my land, and declare peace on those who declared war. Sorry for offending anybody.
Optischer

To: The Very-Stupid-Country of Optischer
From: The Prime Minister, Secretary of State to Her Majesty the Queen
RE: Your stupidity

We highly suggest that Optischer surrenders immediately to the United Kingdom of Quester's Righteous and Valiant Armed Forces or else we shall be forced to take drastic military action. Optischer is a threat to the stability of the world and we see it fit to remove this..worm of a country and colonise it for the greater good of the Empire and the Commonwealth.

Parliament has already approved a declaration of war if neccessary on Optischer by 598 in approval and 1 in disagree (the 1 was later found to be a monkey in disguise as a Communist Green Party Official)

Thank you,
-Prime Minister George Barton.

Official McKagan State Department Message

Ha.

Agreed (to Questers). As much as Helghan wants to be a threat to the world, we highly condemn these actions. This message Optischer sends is a complete suicide note to the world. We will help Questers if Optischer tries anything funny and stupid. Consider this a warning from The Helghan Empire, and consider a possible war a message and lessen from Helghan. Don't mess with anyone or me of your size, even if I didn't go to war with this nation - or got to - this nation declared war on me with a size of 5 million pop. against my size.

The Grand Republic is willing to exchange military bases, to a maximum of 10,000 personnel, with your colony and the Grand Republican Colony of New Veritas. Is this acceptable?

To the Government of Optisher:

The Commonwealth of West Canada Union will not stand for a nation that is willing to not give its people the right to a free nation, but instead sell that very nation to the highest bidder. As we speak, the entire West Canada Defense Force (WCDF) is mobilizing to help liberate the Optisherian people from this illegal government.

(OOC: I'm willing to agree to a compromise between any nations that join in on this tha would split Optisher into occupation zones, should we win.)

Secretary of Defense Luiz Chi
==== ==== ====

I meant when are you going to start.

The Ordo II Imperium of Andaras Prime is quite disturbed with Optischer's intention to sell out his own people to the highest bidder, that they cannot be patriotic within their own country, but rather be in thrall to money-hungry capitalists from a foreign land, how can your nation hope to survive? Where everything is based on the dollar. My imperium is willing to liberate Optischer from it's oppressive foreign collaborating government to secure to peaceful transition to it's own self determination, or if necessary, to become part of the Ordo Empire to ensure peace and stability.

Therefore I have ordered elements of the Iron Fist 5th army to mobilise and ready themselves for a coup against the Optischer government.

These include:
5th Infantry Corp (35,000) - partial

1st Mounted Infantry Division (14,000):

- 1st Mounted Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 2nd Mounted Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 3rd Mounted Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 4th Mounted Infantry Brigade (3,500)

1st Heavy Infantry Division (14,000):

- 1st Heavy Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 2nd Heavy Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 3rd Heavy Infantry Brigade (3,500)
- 4th Heavy Infantry Brigade (3,500)

1st Support Reserve Infantry Brigade (partial) (7,000)

West Canada Union, Questers and The Helghan Empire. I greatly praise your stance on this important issue, and if it does come to war, I ask for your support. Also, my navy is very busy at the moment, and quite weak, my nation prides itself and army strength, so I ask if we do mobilise that the 5th Infantry Corp could use some of your naval transports to reach the nation as we have none availiable. Thankyou.

Imperator Samuel II, Andaras Prime

OOC: Optischer, if you arn't a island nation, or a nation with a coast at all, please say so.

As the declaration of war reverberated through the WCDF, the steps that were needed to arm a nation for war were put in place. Infantrymen were shaken out of their beds by telephone calls at home which ordered them to take their rifles and mobilize at the front, pilots were awakened and ordered to go to the nearest air base, and tank crews were assigned to tanks that would be sent to the front.

However, the Air Force had a special mission to start the conflict; take fifteen F-15s from all over the country, link up over the Optischerian border, and launch a pre-emptive bombing strike on the Optischerian capital, with the infantry and armour following later. This would constitute the official declaration of war by West Canada on Optischer.

(OOC: The WCDF has:

70,000 infantry in 3 divisions of 20,000 and two brigades of 5,000 each;
181 F-15s;
300 AVT-90M MBTs;
5,000 Special Force troops;
30 AH-05 Spike attack helicopters;
1 Homeland-class battleship (USS Calgary)

@West Canada Union:
I don't know. I asked a friend if he would join, he hasn't RPrd for awhile. Other than that, I can mobilise. One army is absent to help protect the future, so I will mobilise another to attack Op'. The Helghan Empire has officially declared war against this nation for selling out his people and abandoning them for profit. Tell me your tech levels guys and I will decided wich it will be.

Sir, we've got a situation.

Those were the words Tony Johnson, President of the Democratic Imperium, hated to hear. Usually it was Torontia facing total destruction or a backwater nation's frigate getting lost in Saharistani waters. Sometimes it was something as trivial as an IMAF Security Unit at a foreign airport picking up Global Jihad members on live T.V., or IMAF planes landing MTFAM's inside the door of a terrorist mastermind.

This time, it was much more simple. A small nation had a bad leader who wanted to sell them out. It wasn't really any of the Imperium's business, as several years earlier they had even HELPED someone do a similiar thing.

But the McKagan Military hadn't shown it's supremacy at gaining and holding air supremacy in a long while....

From: Imperial McKagan Air Force
Subject: Assistance

We see you are moving units into an offensive operation in Optischer, yes? This would probably be a very close contest, yes? If you allow, we'll send a Kurora UCAV to follow your planes through on their bomb runs. It'll gather information on the nature of enemy AA positions and aircraft and transmit it back to a Submerged Action Unit (SAU) that is moving into position off the nearest coast of the nation. Then we launch scores of cruise missiles at those positions and BOOM, the only way we can be challenged is by the enemy airforce. Then you can fly a large air superiority unit in and we'll blow the holy shit out of their bases while they're gone. Then you'll be free to fly around and blow anything you want up.

I believe that I'm modern tech.

We thank you for your request and gladly accept your offer.

The Kurora UCAV, built on the same airframe as the famed Ku-29 Vick Air Superiority UCAV, sat on the runway. Painted black, it was designed to slip into enemy airspace behind larger air columns, gather information, and get out.

Needing no pilot, and no one person to sit and watch over it full-time, the aircraft rocketed off towards it's navpoint. That point was fairly out of the way, near what would be the rear of the allied wing in 4 hours.

Climbing to it's maximum altitude, what made it a UCAV finally took hold. The plane accelerated up to Mach 10, speeds no human could survive, and headed for it's target much faster than a maned aircraft could have.

Dick Winters was still going over the situation in his head. His nation had just declared war on another nation, which meant that he would probably have to fight along with his nation.

His squadron leader stood up.

"It's a go," he said.

"Finally," Dick thought to himself. His squad had already been briefed on the mission. After a McKagan unmanned drone had taken out defenses surrounding the Optischerian capital, he and his squad were to dive in and bomb the Optischerian Parliament Buildings and an electrical station just outside the city.

As he walked out into the warm night, it struck him that he would be serving his country for the first time. "What a good feeling that is," he said to himself.

Does this mean that the imperialist alliance is now at war with Optischer, several nations here (including my imperium) that are for this invasion are apart of that alliance. Also, my nation doesn't technically have a navy, my army has transport ships but they are army units, and last time the Ordo Imperium tried to requisition ships from my colonial subjects, several large scale rebellions broke out. Would any nation possibly be able to lend me large size military transport ships to transport the 5th infantry corp to Optischer.

The alliance only acts if half or more of the members agree to, and only if a nation presents the situation to the rest of the alliance. As Nebarri Prime is not going to present this unless the war ends up on Nebarri soil the alliance will not be involved. However if you do wish for transport of your 5th army we do have many Austin class LPDs you can have them ride on.

Minister of Defence James Keller, Nebarri Prime

OOC: how many solders are in your 5th army? so i know how many ships i will be sending

The 5th Infantry Corp is 35,000 men strong, meaning it is only a partial detachment of the full 50,000 man corp from the 5th army. It consists of mounted infantry, heavy infantry and reserve infantry elements. I understand about the alliance, but enough transports for 35,000 soldiers will be adequate for the invasion, Thankyou.

RE: Annexation of Optischer

Hello,
In the name of Questarian assets and trade in the area of Optischer, the Commonwealth of Questaria has withdrawn it's declaration of war upon Optischer and has instead placed diplomatic warnings against states willing to commit military forces against Optischer. We severely advise that you all halt these actions and go about your business - failure to do so will result in economi sanctions and military action by the Questarian Commonwealth.

We see it fit therefore, to mobilise more naval forces to protect Optischer against the attacks of rogue states such as Nebarri Prime.

Whether you follow our suggestions or not is not our choice but we suggest you choose carefully whos side you will take in this unneccessary conflict.

But the situation of Questers now supporting Optischer is most dire, if we have adequate naval support and transport for our ground forces, we should have no trouble landing, but Questers blockade of Optischer waters is most concerning indeed, we will have to negotiate his withdrawl from Optischer or rout his fleet in order to land. Since I'm leading the 5th Infantry Corp myself I would like to know your plan to neutralise Questers fleet guarding Optischer.

Well if your naval forces are able to hold up the Questers fleet while my 5th Infantry Corp (and hopefully others) land elsewhere on Optischer, they should be effectively flanked and may withdraw without ground support.

The Grey House, Dowland City

A series of digitally-enhanced photos flashed across the large plasma screen that encompassed an entire wall of the Oval Office. The images blurred until one paused and stayed in place. A small red dot suddenly flickered to life on the screen, and began making a lazy circuit, penetrating the darkness that was broken only by the faint glow of the screen and the colour photographs on it.

A deep voice broke the silence, all eyes turning to the individual who possessed it. "As you can see, there is now a sizeable naval force from Questar operating within the naval boundaries of Optischer. If you all look at your folders, ladies and gentlemen," A rustle of paper followed the voice as the small group of men and women in the large room turned to the manilla folders and selected the correct page. The deep voice paused for a second until the noise abated, then continued. "The Questarians have placed what would appear to be an entire taskforce into the theatre, if not more; our intelligence estimates on the Questarians designations are still lacking in several areas. However, theirs would appear to be the largest force within the theatre of operations."

A thinner, female voice piped up, interrupting the first. "General Crombie, what other forces are stationed in the area?" Crombie let out a barely audible grunt, then tapped a button. The photo on the screen changed from an enhanced view of the Questarian fleet to a much wider view, encompassing several seperate groups of vessels. The red dot moved again, centering on one group of vessels and lingering there. The General continued, annoyance tinging his reply. "As you can see, Madam Vice-President, this next reconnisance photo from the KEYHOLE system shows the other nations fleets around Optischer. There would appear to be four major groupings. Here, we have the Nebarri Prime fleet. Being the largest power in the area after Questar itself, the Nebarri Prime vessels are the most dangerous. Information is limited, as we have little intelligence on this nation, but they would appear to be the main opponents we would face."

The photo changed once again, showing more vessels - this time a much smaller grouping. "Here we have the vessels of a nation identified as Andaras Prime. A tiny nation, they seem to have shipped in some seabourne troops, and may be preparing for a strike on either Optischer itself or even the Questarian fleet. There are other vessels in the area from several smaller nations, but they present no problem; their vessels are inferior and outnumbered."

A richer, more melodious voice than the first two rang out now, coming from the man sitting at the end of the large desk. "Thank-you General, very informative as per usual." General Crombie nodded to the President. Flicking a switch, President Martin turned the lights back on; the plasma screen receded into the wall noiselessly. "So, we have a situation here ladies and gentlemen. As part of the new Questarian Commonwealth, we seem to have no choice but to send in our military forces to aid the Questarians...despite some reservations." He flickered a glance towards the Vice-President before continuing in the same tone. "General, what forces do we have in the region at the moment?"

Crombie spoke without hesitation; he had been prepared for this question. "Mr President, we have the Carrier Republicana and her CVGN two hundred miles from the theatre, on the way back from New Veritas. The Rezo is about a day behind her with the Third CVGN Taskforce. The Rezo is carrying the 20th Mechanised for deployment into Nerotika, but they can be deployed in Optischer if needed."
He paused for a moment, then went on. "Mr President, if I may speak freely?" Martin nodded. "Sir, if we must deploy, then we'll do it, and win. But sir, Optischer is a shithole, pardon my language. We've reconned it using UCAVs from the Republicana a day ago. Its a tiny nation, hardly any population, and a pitiful military at best. If we invade, we'll take losses from those fleets gathered around the Questarians, and who knows what else. And all for the honour of planting the flag on a tiny nation that has no strategic, economic or even social purpose. Sir, we don't need another Nerotika."

Martin looked up sharply. Mentioning Nerotika was a surefire way to get his attention. He had never wanted to invade that hellhole, but it had been deemed neccessary. He turned to Crombie. "General, send the two fleets in. But, and I cannot emphasise this enough, they are to make no agressive moves towards anyone there. You understand? Unless our vessels, or the Questarians are fired upon, we do nothing but show the flag."

I deeply understand your concern and need to look over and protect the small nation of Optischer in this situation, as a Commonwealth you feel a desire to protect the sovereignty of such nations. But I beg you to understand our situation, as small and seemingly defenceless as Optischer is, it's oppressive and greedy leader attempted to sell out his own people's culture and heritage for money. In my experience the crime of destroying one's patriotism is the worst possible, to rob an entire people of their pride and nationality. This is the kind of nation that you protect, that you risk the lives of your naval servicemen to protect, I'm certain he would not do the same for you, his corrupted capitalistic desires would sell you out for money if he got the chance. We intend to liberate the people Optischer from such a government, and replace it with one who respects the patriotic nationality of the Optischerian culture, and will not sell it to the highest bidder. I appeal to you to withdraw your fleet Optischer waters and let our coalition begin an emancipation which is long overdue. Do you wish to embroil your nation in such a destructive war with us just to protect the oppression of one power mongering despot. Please, think through such actions, and come to your senses. Thankyou greatly.

RE: Annexation of Optischer

Hello,
I am sorry, your Lordship Imperator Samuel III, but our operations must go ahead. We are here to protect our trade assets and no more. We suggest, and it has been painstakingly clear how much our suggestions are noted - that you forget this entire incident and do not attempt to change our iron will.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter. We hope to meet again in the future on better terms.
Good Day,
-Prime Minister George Barton.

22:00 PM QMT,45nm off Optischer's Coast, HMS Warspite
"Admiral, we are approaching the coast, land 325 degrees off our bow Your Lordship."

The First Sea Lord himself had decided to accompany Admiral of the Red Burney Walsh, Captain of the Warspite on this mission.

"Excellent. Continue on our current course for another 18 nautical miles and then set bearing 0. We'll travel parallel, showing the flag and such." Walsh lookde at the First Sea Lord, Michael Tolworth. The man had an aura of power that was detectable to anyone who got near to him and only those who resembled a similar amount of power, such as Burney Walsh, dared to even look him in the eyes.

"Do you agree Your Lordship?"

"Hmm..yes. Continue with your orders, Admiral." Tolworth answered after a few seconds.

"Very well." Walsh looked back out to the seas from the navigation deck.

Several minutes later, the Satellite Ensign piped up.

"Sir, we have GPS position on a Canadian battleship. Not sure of pennant or class, approximatly 600 nm away."

"I see. Size, Ensign?" Admiral Walsh briefly replied. (OOC: I'm going to guess here, but im assuming you won't have anything close to the Warspite or the Revenge)

"Nothing that can compare to ours sir. We should be able to remove her from the field of conflict peacefully." the Ensign reported.

"Excellent, ask for a direct communication patch to the ships officer, Comms."

"Affirmative!"


[OOC: I was aware that Optischer would never go on the forums again, so I decided to scrounge what we could have left over of this thread. Woot! Gunboat diplomacy ftw!]

:::The President of the People's Republic of Ekathora is addressing the international community today. The following is the press conference held in response to this international issue of the Optischerian incident:::

"I have just recently heard of the events taking place in Optischer, although the Ministry of Peace has been watching it intently these past few days. It has come to the attention of the international community that the dictator of Optischer is attempting to sell the lives of his countrymen for his own personal gain. The Republic of Ekathora cannot sit idly by and allow such actions, however in this address to my international comrades, Ekathora must admit that we do not have the resources to allocate troops to Optischer. However, the Republic of Ekathora would like to extend our support by allowing any war criminals to be brought to our country for safe keeping. Any of these criminals, such as the dicator himself, may be sentenced and judged by your courts but the keeping of the criminals and the trials are welcome to occur in our country. We would like to extend this proposal to show our support of the allied international community that will be taking this dicator out of power. If there is any additional help that our Republic can do to help in this effort we will attempt to give that support. This is a troubled time, as war is looming, we do not wish to plunge the entire region into war, however we understand that removing the dicator is needed to free the people of Optischer. All of your troops, planes and naval ships are welcome to refuel and take leave in our ports as well. Good luck to us all. Thank you."

(OOC: Does anyone else find it terribly amusing that Optischer hasnt said anything in response?)

From: Imperator Samuel II, Andaras Prime

I'm glad you feel this way about the impending situation in Optischerian, their dictator must be stopped at all costs from such greedy and corrupt intentions. Questers has now shown his true colors, he does not care for the Optischerian people themselves, but merely intends to preserve his monopoly of trade assets in the region. It seems we have one money-hungry capitalistic nation protecting each other, how can such an empire survive, were everything is based on the dollar? By the conviction of the mighty Imperium of Andaras, and the strength of our resolve, we shall win through and free the Optischerian people, no matter the cost! I call to all nations intending to free the Optischerian from such tyranny, we must assemple to destroy the Questors blockade immediately, since their ruler will not listen to reason. Thankyou.

OOC: Well as long as Optischer doesn't come online and never replies, I suppose we can invade his nation etc...

RE: Annexation of Optischer

Hello,
We would rather this situation does not continue further. However, to act as a detterrent against Andaras Prime's fleet, we will mobilise more vessels. Again, we cannot stress enough how important it is that Andaras Prime does not attack our fleet or our personnel or our trade assets in the area. We do NOT want a war.

Your warmongering is clearly shown as you deny the offer of peace we make to you. We hope that you reconsider.
Good Day,
-Prime Minister George Barton.
