Blood was its Avatar and its seal --the redness and the horror of blood. - Edgar Allan Poe, Masque of the Red Death

[The Curtain Rises]

The TSN Palidor cut through the calm seas of the Atlantic Ocean at a leisurely 13 knots, jealously guarded by an enormous perimeter fleet. She was one of the forty Tribes-class carriers the Militant Imperium operated, and the leading flagship of this particular field deployment. With a displacement of over four hundred and fifty thousand tons, she was easily one of the biggest and baddest ships in the world, and had the assets to back it up; her aerial complement was comprised of slightly less than two hundred aircraft. Crewed by more than eight thousand sailors, she was the pride of Tyrandis's navy. Her trimaran hull proclaimed to the rest of the earth the supremacy of the Imperium's military might. But today, Palidor would do more than simply display this fearsome power; she would impose its malevolent will upon the country of Bjornoya. Around the Palidor and five other supercarriers was a maritime force unparalleled in strength and numbers; christened Task Force Hammer, they had a single mission – to expel the Bjornoyans from Africa by any means necessary. And to this end, Hammer was blessed with more than four hundred individual vessels, only a fraction of the Tyrandisan Imperial Navy yet more than sufficient to smash its enemies several times over.

Causes for Hammer's deployment was driven largely by the rise of one leader, a woman by the name of Kurumi Hamazaki.

Hamazaki was the leader of Tyrandisan military forces during the great war for liberation against the hated Liberian government. When the war ended, the idealistic leaders of the revolution nearly came to blows over how the new state would function; the political disruption eventually spilled over into the economic sector, resulting in a state of anarchy. The people were restless, and called for order in the chaos. Into this void stood Hamazaki and the army; they eventually crushed all of the various rebel movements by implementing martial law. Unity among Tyrandis was enforced by the iron hand of the armed services, leading to Tyrandis's rise as a global powerhouse in military and industrial technology. As general living standards improved, Hamazaki became the single most powerful citizen in the country. She then used this authority to install herself as a dictator, declaring a state of martial law and rounding up her political enemies for execution for “crimes against the state”.

Under the auspices of a popular coup d'etat, the unstable democratic government was annihilated and replaced overnight with her totalitarian regime. Crowds of supporters called her the “Crimson Savior”, and gathered to cheer her ascension to the title of Autocrat.

It was as though Friedreich Hayek's “Road to Serfdom” had manifested itself in all of its grotesque glory.

The rest of the world simply watched in horror as Hamazaki seized control of the Tyrandisan nation, and used its industrial capacity to build up its power to unprecedented heights. Mindful of this dangerous situation, the dictatorship mobilized the people to develop and produce the latest in warfighting equipment. Tyrandis became a proverbial powderkeg of conflict, a state brimming with confidence and strength. The keg exploded when the Bjornoyans invaded Terronian territories in Australia; it was obvious that Bjornoya could not be trusted to leave Tyrandis alone, especially in light of their threatening statements against the regime. And so, the Tyrandisan juggernaut roused from its sleep to do battle against the Bjornoyans. The extensive propaganda network Hamazaki installed served this purpose well, with diatribes delivered 24/7 against the proclaimed enemy on television screens, in the city streets, and on shortwave radios.

And thus was Task Force Hammer born - to destroy the Bjornoyan state utterly, to completely eradicate it from the face of the earth. Only when this ghastly target was achieved, blared the government shills from every mouthpiece in Tyrandis, could the Militant Imperium's external security be guaranteed.

The operational parameters the Tyrandisan military command issued Hammer were non-existent. The Task Force was given carte blanche to do whatever they pleased with the Bjornoyans, and it was a given that no victim would be spared from the coming storm of destruction. To deliver this gift of death, Hammer was generously endowed with the implements of war; it had the unparalleled advantage of Tyrandisan aerial technology, the finest in Israeli-developed surface vessels, and a huge number of highly advanced (and classified) submarines. This arsenal would thus be turned upon every single possession of Bjornoya in the coming war.

The fleet sailed down the coast of Africa, with their blood-red banners of Hamazaki fluttering in the gentle tropical breeze. A declaration of war would be duly issued once the task force arrived within eight hundred kilometers of their intended target, Bjornoyan Nigeria. A war, a horrible war was coming, and not even the lamb of God Himself could stop it.

OOC: Is this WW2?

ooc: if Pushka backs Tyrandis it could be in all probability. Hirgizstan could back me, although he's not obligated to. He's got much to lose if I get my ass kicked, but I highly doubt it. Official response coming momentarily.

OOC: IC response to come tomorrow. I'm too depressed to make a decent/good IC response.

ooc: man you choose a bad time to attack, I got maybe 100 Federal Division scattered about the entire region, Nigeria being the most centralized at the moment. In Killswitch in case you didn't notice I've got fleets mobilized and on alert off of Nigeria and south of Liberia. Forces are particularly concentrated in Nigeria at the moment due to my vaccinations taking place. Many of the divisions are prepped to be mobilized but since Australia is done with they will be sent where needed. And those are just Federal Forces, Visara has nearly a dozen fleets in the region along with security forces. Don't think you'll be able to drop right in without a fight.

Bjornoyan Nigeria (http://0301.netclime.net/1_5/W/O/H/Homage.mid)

8 Federal Battlegroups remained in Bjornoyan Africa 2 of which would bear the brunt of the initial assault. Stationed and waiting for the Tyrandis forces. They were escorted by members of the Visara Co. Security Forces. Already on red alert the forces had been fully aware of a potential attack by certain rowdy neighbors. The entire airwing scrambled as the Tyrandi intent became more and more certain.

Within Nigeria hundreds of thousands of Federal Peacekeepers were busy preparing for a census and vaccination that would take place within a week. 32 divisions of Federal Peacekeepers along with hordes of Visara Co. Security Forces swarmed the area, scattered about the various cities and villages.

The Australia Incident was conducted entirely by Federal Forces, Wilhelm had and wanted nothing to do with that self-righteous unprofitable campaign. Africa however was his play ground. The CEO had worked far too hard and too long to lose his investment. Bjornoyan Africa would not fall, not to fancy planes nor giant carriers; and it would certainly not fall to a government that had already proven itself incapable of its task. The time and money spent would not go to waste.

Much of her African holdings had been under Bjornoyan control for more than two years allowing for vast conscription and recruitment to take place. If the citizens did not find work at the many mining facilities they took jobs within the Visara Co bureaucracy, security forces, and the immensely popular Bjornoyan Federal Peacekeepers. More than 200 million people lived in Bjornoyan Africa and with the exception of Equitorial Guinea and northern Angola all had seen their fare share of warfare. Instead of pacifying the region the Bjornoyans worked with the warrior mentality of the region, successfully recruiting about 80 Divisions. Fierce and battle hardened, the native Africans showed the same fanaticism about defending their homeland but this time they were better equipped.

As soons as the Tyrandi fleet left Tyrandi national waters nearly 60% of the Bjornoyan Federal Airforce and Visara Co. Air Security Forces were scrambled and took to the skies mostly from primary airbases near the southwest coast. They would not be caught offguard and were prepared to engage as soon as possible.

Wilhelm watched the conflict as it unfolded. Far above in the Bjornoyan capitol of Esthar the he watched the children play war. Wilhelm was not one for combat, he was a briliant negotiator and want to be remembered as such. Perhaps the single most successful businessman the world had yet to see he would find better ways to fix this minor dilemma than waste his machines and invaluable human resources. He would work side by side with the Patriarch in this battle.

When it was over the Tyrandis would be begging for mercy.

This wasn't good. Tyrandis had finally made a move, but a very unexpected one. The Norwegian war planners had expected Tyrandis to attack Australia or Egypt, at the very worst Norway itself, but no such attack had occured. Yet. Still, it was in Norways best interest to keep a close eye on the situation and quite possibly intervene. However, after the Australian conflict, the situation for the military wasn't exactly favorable. The Navy, Army and Air Force were too busy elsewhere, with the Marines being the only really prepared force ready. However, they were stormtroopers, armed relatively lightly in comparison to the Iron Fist the Army was. The Norwegians had to redeploy, reorganize and rethink some parts of their strategy, and fast! It was decided in the higher echelons of the Norwegian military and political autorities that a small but deadly force was to be dispatched to watch over things, for the time being.

In the dead of night in a secret naval facility, somewhere in Norway, a small flotilla of 9 highly classified Murmansk class SSNs slipped out to sea under complete EMCON. Satellite jammers were operating all along the Norwegian coastline, but it was a bit more intense here, ensuring that the Murmansk class wouldn't be known to the outside world. Not that anyone would notice the jamming though, as it was pretty much consistent. The nine submarines all had diffferent orders, but the common feature with those orders were that they were all to stalk the Tyrandi naval invasion force from a safe distance and gather intel. ETA for them to arrive in the area of operations was between seven and ten days.

Each sub was armed to the teeth, holding a total of 24 Mark-68 Mod 1 heavyweight torpedoes, 12 UGM-84L Harpoon anti-shipping missiles and 8 Mark-50 Mod 2 Barracuda lightweight ASW torpedoes in six internal and four external 533mm torpedo tubes and fourteen UGM-203A Imsdal SCRAMJET cruise missiles in 14 VLS tubes. They were also ultra-silent, being built especially for silent operations. The layer between the pressure hull and outer hull, the latter having been given a 5 centimeter layer of special sound-absorbing tiles, was filled with a special sound-absorbing foam which completely muffled the sounds from within the submarine to the outside world. This, along with the closed circut system which cooled the CNE-119B pebblebed nuclear reactor which propelled the Murmansk class to a maximum speed of 40 knots and a maximum tactical silent speed of 25 knots ensured that the sub would remain undetectable to passive sonar (when operated at under the tactical silent speed limit) and less detectable to active sonar. Another way it was able to remain undetected was its ability to dive very deep, down to a max operating depth of 670 meters and a crush depth of 700 meters. All this contributed to making the Murmansk class one of the most silent submarines ever in existance, and nine of them were headed towards the Tyrandi fleet. The Murmansks would rule the depths if it came to hostilities!

OOC: Do you want to keep playing this game Tyrandis?, if so stop this nonsense, if not, by all means continue, but the world is going to get involved in this one. You can still stand down though.

IC:


From Praia the 10th, 11th and 12th Fleets were able to manouvre easily out into the vast Atlantic Ocean, ensuring the land-based air cover from Cape Verde was still good.

Every ship that could would fire off 25 Ice-Cap AS-25 (Anti-Ship)Cruise Missiles.

Each ship in each CVBG would be targeted by 5 AS-25 Missiles. The truth was, they would be able to shot down one missile, maybe two, maybe even three if they were good. But at least two would strike, and that spelt the end. And if that didn't work, then the next day 4000 Missiles would be fired.

The Hirgizstanian Fleet then drew up to the last island in the huge chain that was Cape Verde, if there was a return volley of Missiles, they would have to pass over all of the islands, meaning every Air Defense System would be active, and waiting, and then there was those systems on the ships to compete with.

Meanwhile in the Niger the Hirgizstanian 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th Armies were being readied at the border with Bjornoya, just under 2 Million men, along with thousands of tanks and APC's. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Cavalry (Airmobile) Divisions were also being readied, along with 15th and 20th Air Wings (Army Aviation). The 8th Heavy Armoured Corps was also prepping its legions of tanks and armor, ready to literally run over the Tyrandi forces.

We ask the nation of Elephantum to remember our past and current friendship and stay neutral in this conflict.

-Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

This was largest mobilization of Russian Federation forces against a foreign nation in history. A total of 30 out of 40 Flotilas staitioned in the ports throughout the Arctic ocean as well as all 10 Below Surface Divisions moved in to completely seal off Bjornya and start sistematicall taking out its ports. Plan was to employ Novaya Zemlya with several old Russian ports as a resupply base, taking it would be a breeze since nobody notified Bjornya neither removed the masked minefields that were currently submerged near the buttom of the ocean. Seven flotillas separated from the main force and continued on course towards Novaya Zemlya backed up with 30 attack submarines. In the Baltic the 17 Flotillas and 9 BSDs stationed there were ready for an attack from Norway, and Hawdwag, the plan was to defend, bleed the enemy, counter attack and take the enemy ports.

On land 16 Armies and 5 Gvardias were mobilized towards the Bjornyan border, it was a days march to Archangelsk and Russian troops were going to take it. Meanwhile another 13 armies and 3 Gvardias backed up with RR forces were charged with protecting Russia from attacks from Norway, Hawdawg, North Germania and Hirgizstan. The entire airforce was charged with providing air cover for both.

The Russian bear has rissen and this time it would not back down, it was ready to crush all of its enemies.

OOC: Official Orbat coming up, please don't do anything against me until i post it.

OOC: NG ain't here he's in D13 but he would agree.

In light of the Russian mobilizations, the North Atlantic Closure Plan is being put into full effect. Any hostile shipping or aircraft moving through the North Atlantic will be attacked, regardless of the presence of international space or not. This is being done to aide and prevent reinforcements from further hurting the nation of Bjornoya.

Response to the Russians

For now, we will maintain our stance. If either of our most valuable allies, Rome or Carthage, wish us to back down, we will consider it. However, we have had relations with them for the better part of two thousand years. Russia, on the other hand, has attempted to drag us into several wars to help promote their motives. These attempts failed, and now, when there is a war we wish to enter, you expect us to back down to do what you please. We do not take orders well.

The Empire of Shimmeh enters the picture, with 5 of its Task Force Chuck Norrises.

Each Task Force Chuck Norris contains the following:


50xCVN Nimitz class carriers each compromising 50 F/A-18C Hornets armed with Harpoon ASM missiles.

Shimmeh gives the order and 3 Task Force Chuck Norrises launch their aircraft, obliterating all you suckas.

Response to the Russians

For now, we will maintain our stance. If either of our most valuable allies, Rome or Carthage, wish us to back down, we will consider it. However, we have had relations with them for the better part of two thousand years. Russia, on the other hand, has attempted to drag us into several wars to help promote their motives. These attempts failed, and now, when there is a war we wish to enter, you expect us to back down to do what you please. We do not take orders well.

Your decision saddeness us deeply, but if you do not reconsider we are prepared to defeat you as well. On a sidenote, we did not attempt to fire orders at you, we only hoped that you still had some loyalty to justice left from your participation in the Voronej Cooperation Organization.

Official Release
Your choice of words is amusing. One moment we have a current friendship, the next you are prepared to defeat us. As far as we have seen, you have not sent any troops to this conflict, or made any physical attempts to help your "ally." I have a feeling the Tyrandis will soon find themselves being threatened by you as well.

Haifa, the Holy Lands
Information was recieved from Naval Command. Patrols in the Mediterranean were to be tripled. The Navy had just undergone a major reorganization, as had the Air Force, and crews needed to make sure they were familiar with their craft and their environment.

Similar orders, all top secret, were sent to Iran and Kurdistan.

Russian Response

Purhapse your intelligence services did not tell you this but we have already mobilized troops towards the Bjornyan border. Also if you attack our ally that of course changes our relations.

As would an attack on Bjornoya. We did not monitor your forces very closely, as until a few minutes ago we were told we had a current friendship.

We may maintain friendly relations between our nations if you stay neutral in the Bjornyan conflict. That is all we ask of you, please be reasonable.

Abandoning a good ally in favor of a worse one is not reasonable, it is stupid.

What exactly makes us a worse ally in your view? Either way if that is your final position then we can do nothing more with words. Bjornya deserves what is currently happening to it, we simply do not see why you would want to sacrafice lives of your own men to save that tyrranical, treacherous regime. But i assure you justice will be done and it will be taken down.

We appluad the Elephanti strong-will and encourage all those who seek to free this world from the Russian menace to stand against their bullying.

We are getting wary of your hipocracy, all we hope for now is that you would not massacre your own people to prevent us from liberating them.

OOC: I am just after Komi, Novaya Zemlya back as well as finally some respect, there is no need for this to be taken to the genecide level. Of course Bjorn, its all up to you.

Bjornoya does not drag us into wars we do not wish to participate in. They do not try to wage war with nations they could not defeat with allied help. Their "tyrannical, treacherous" regime is much better than yours. They have modernised much of backward Africa, and are working to cure AIDS. What have you done for the earth, except threaten to devastate the world's ecology? One moment you are allies with a nation, the next you ridicule them. I doubt many of your men would give thier lives to save your regime, let alone any other one.

We never dragged you into wars, the VCO charter only obligated you to aid us incase we are attacked not if we are the attackers, as for your assessment that we can not defeat the October Alliance, we shall see. Our people are completely behind our government, we are a democratic nation with many benefits for our citizens, national pride was always high amongst our population, what we are doing is just and is done in the name of honor. We do not redicule Neuvo Rica, neither do we redicule Marimia, neither do we ridicule you. Nation of Bjornya is treacherous and is tyranical and we are obligated to free their people from their incapable regime as well as take back the lands they stole from us. And while we only ask for you to stay neutral, you are dragging yourself into a war by sending troops, that is in no way our fault. We didn't start this, the October Alliance did, but we will finnish it for all that is good in this world. Please clarify your position one more time.

OOC: My ass we started this, your the one who mobilized against Bjornoya, and Tyrandis mobilized against him. Unfortunately, Pushka, EVERYONE, besides you, on E2 knows this is YOUR fault, and yours alone. Just take responsibility...for once.

OOC: My ass we started this, your the one who mobilized against Bjornoya, and Tyrandis mobilized against him. Unfortunately, Pushka, EVERYONE, besides you, on E2 knows this is YOUR fault, and yours alone. Just take responsibility...for once.

I don't care whatever opinion you might have, the fact of the matter is, fact based on what was happening in the past, it is that you started this, either way, i am not trying to get into a discussion on this topic with you people, you are idiots, i have no reason to value you your lack of rationality.

I did mobilize against Bjornya but that was because i was provoked so many times by TOA that finally i am going for a pay back. Thats all there is to it, you mess with my shit all the time, i am tired of rolling over. Thats not my fault, thats your fault. Either Bjornya is your lackie now, plus he did backstab me with that Komi deal, i have all motivation i need to attack him.

OOC: You are so irrational, it isn't even funny. Bjornoya is not part of the TOA, so attacking him is hardly getting back at us, don't pretend. You dislike Bjornoya because he used Realpolitik on you, and you lost land. Boo hoo, get over it. Its politics. Funnily enough, thats what E2 and NS is all about. If you can't take it, don't. My 'opinion', once again, funnily enough, is exactly the same as that of everyone else on E2. Bjornoya is also hardly one of our 'lackies', as you so eloquently put it. The whole VCO realised what you were up to, they stopped backing a dead horse so to speak. Bjornoya has realised that dealing freely with both the TOA and others in the world is beneficial, and that VCO ties were damaging to these relationships. The thing is, you could attemtp to redress your grievances diplomatically, but you haven't got the skills nor inclination to attempt that. But wait, you maintain the TOA, and me, are/is always wrong, wanna prove us wrong?

OOC: Ooh...sharp Azimeth, why do we all see that my freind, lol.

ooc: wait like 5 minutes Hirsch, he'll do it again with 'I don't care what you think STFU' against you.
I'm waiting for this to calm down before I do anything BTW, waiting on Pushka to show he can let someone else have the last word for once.

OOC: Like that will ever happen...lol. I suppose he is like a nagging wife or a po'd woman in that respect...

OOC: Guys, I suggest we take this to Lays forums so we don't attract the attention of the mods...

OOC: Good idea.

The Republic of Pantheaa will remain neutral in this situtation. We hope that both sides can come to an agreement before lives are lost

OOC: You are so irrational, it isn't even funny. Bjornoya is not part of the TOA, so attacking him is hardly getting back at us, don't pretend.

But wait, you maintain the TOA, and me, are/is always wrong, wanna prove us wrong?

I have tried to deal with you guys diplomatically over and over, skills, i got much more then you my friend. As for your view that my actions are irrational, no everyone on EII doesn't back you up, thats why a lot of nations are remaining neutral and the only ones who have any trouble with me OOCly are you and Bjornya, you got like a chronic bitch syndrome and i am the trigger for some reason. Cotland has an outburst against me, well that happens to the best of us, but you jump in from behind his back and start backing what he said in the heat of the moment up, now same situation with Bjornya except in this case you both got that syndrome. You can't quit it can you?

OOC: You must always have the last word, musn't you?. I beg you, beg you, to listen to me for once, just once.

OOC: I don't listen to those who have nothing intelligent to say. Either way i took a liberty of moving this to Lay's forum, i gave you a bit of an explanation as to whats what, if you can look at things objectively you will see my reasoning or atleast try to argue it in a objective manner.

ooc: if this continues I will halt this entire war by simply ignoring it. I will not RP under these conditions. This is my last warning, anymore will end this thrread dead in its tracks.

Whoever said the pen was mightier than the sword?


Would yall stop bitching and fight already.

ooc: if this continues I will halt this entire war by simply ignoring it. I will not RP under these conditions. This is my last warning, anymore will end this thrread dead in its tracks.

You can't do that. A decree in the E2 thread says that the moderator (Lay) is the only one that has the power to ignore.

I think we should listen to Cotland and take the OOC talk to the other boards maybe.

You can't do that. A decree in the E2 thread says that the moderator (Lay) is the only one that has the power to ignore.

No it doesn't. It says the following:

Decree 5: All participants of NS are given the famous and lovable "Ignore Cannon." However, the Ignore Cannon is not something that should be used liberally. Naturally there are acceptable uses of the Ignore Cannon, such as godmodding and blatant idiocy. However, using the Ignore Cannon because said actions do not coincide with your personal story line, because you don't want to take losses, or because you just don't feel like it, does not constitute a legitimate action. In addition, throwing it up because you don't like someone OOC isn't a reason either. In the real world, if Canada suddenly invaded Vermont, the United States can't simply say, "Oh yeah I ignore you!!!" Guess what, it doesn't happen that way and the real world does reflect upon Nation-States and Earth II for that matter. I understand that if you have time and personal commitments elsewhere and you do not have time for a situation then naturally nobody will argue against that and they should not. Additionally, if the time commitment excuse is used, we'd better not see you posting RPs at a rate of 5 posts per hour.

As an example, if you are country A and someone else is country B, consider this. If country B moves against country A for any reason whatsoever or no apparent reason because remember ladies and gentlemen, you don't really need a reason to go to war. And you choose to ignore country B because it doesn't matter what they do or think guess what, you're in the wrong. NS and RL are not independent. When you have an invading army on your border you cannot just throw out an ignore. Sorry but that is the way it goes. No ifs, ands, buts, or arguments. Enacted on post #1245.

I don't see it excluding me from that. Nobody can ignore a legitimate RP and attack. Unfortunately Bjorn, even in the face of what's been going on it is a legitimate RP.

OOC: Tyrandis, if you want I advise requesting the mods to delete this useless chatter.

OOC: FOR GOD'S SAKE PEOPLE, THIS IS A BLOODY WAR THREAD. NOT A PLACE FOR YOU TO VENT YOUR SPLEEN OVER OOC BULLSHIT. THE NEXT UNRELATED ARGUMENT TO DEVELOP IN THIS THREAD WILL RESULT IN ME SIMPLY DROPPING GIGATONS OF IGNORE NUKES AND LEAVING EII.

I'm too irritated right now to make a decent post, so I'll come back after I've calmed down.

OOC: I agree. Everybody STFU! If you want to argue there is a place for it. I agree with Tyrandis. Until you people calm the FUCK down this goes no where.

Top Secret IC Meeting

The Emperor sat with his cabinet and his Joint Chiefs. The topic of this meeting was to discuss what new battlefield innovations and weapon systems were going to be put to use in this upcoming war. The Empire had a number of developing systems that could use a new testing ground.

At the top of the list, for the Air Force, was the A-26C Condor, equipped with an 8 megawatt COIL laser for use in the airborne laser role. The system was best against theater launched systems, having enough power for 60 shots against liquid-fueled missiles and 30 against solid-fueled. In addition, the E-10D Condor, an airborne command post derivative would be in the air as well. These replaced the aged EC-135 aircraft that had been retired only months earlier. The third aircraft was the YF-40 Phantom III, an experimental, ultra-stealth, highly capable fighter built along the lines of the F-39 Tengriy.

For the Army, it would be the introduction of a small, elite, enhanced unit of super soldiers called the Praetorian Guard. Armed with high powered weaponry and put through rigorous training and medical proceedures, they resembled beasts in power and strength. Elite, powerful, capable, and highly independent, the group could operate on its own in the harshest of conditions under the worst threats and prevail.

For the Defense Force and other branches as well, it was the Imsdal, a new SCRAMJET missile capable of sinking ships as far away as 1,000 miles. Coupled with the SLASM, the Imsdal would have the ability to rain fire and fury upon any invading or attacking or defending force.

For the Navy it would be the submarines, a new battlecruiser, the Imsdal, and the capability of its quick attack fleets. The Navy was the true power projector of the ILM and would be at the forefront of this fight.

The Space Division had new, advanced satellites in its ability and though it controlled the nuclear weaponry of the Empire it was hoping to not play a role in that particular area.

OOC: The SCRAMJET missile and the Navl ship you both named Imsdal. Just pointing it out incase its unintentional.

Official Statement by Patriarch Michelosis

The Divine Empire of Kreynoria wishes only for peace. It is our desire to isolate ourselves from this war, so as to prevent great bloodshed from coming to our nation or our Pacifinesia allies. We see little reason in fighting for Bjornoya. Our nation is not dependent upon their stock market, and while we have some degree of friendship with Bjornoya it is not of a level that will bring us to war. However, we shall honor our non-aggression pact with Bjornoya, and will attack neither Bjornoya nor her allies. We are wary of the unstable Russian regime, which has had poor relations with allies in the past. We also do not wish to align ourselves with the expansionist nation of Tyrandis, and wish no friendship with them until their aggression ceases. Our nation is still recovering from the Spartan War and the KRO's attempted revolution. I do not wish to further the letting of blood among my people. I have visited and presided over many of the funerals. The death of every soldier is received with much grief. I cannot imagine the grief to be had over the death of a hundred thousand soldiers, or a million. More tragic would be the death of civilians on a massive scale. To this end, we shall remain neutral, but alert and ready to defend our homeland, our people, and our way of life.

OOC: The SCRAMJET missile and the Navl ship you both named Imsdal. Just pointing it out incase its unintentional.

OOC: No. There's a comma there for a list, not a gerund. I described the Imsdal earlier so I didn't need to redescribe it.

Official Message to Tyrandis

In light of your aggressive tactics and overtures towards the nation of Bjornoya, we offer support to them in the form of direct military support. As we speak our forces in Guinea Bissau are being mobilized to meet your impending threat to this nation and we shall set idly by while your country attacks a nation we consider a "most favored nation".

Official Message to the Russian Government

We have always been a fair and unbiased country with respect shown towards fellow nations in Earth II. We find it insulting that blanket stereotyping exists in the world, but unfortunately these things happen. Your declaration of war against The October Alliance has activated a protocol that warrants a response. Henceforth all negotiations between our countries is officially dissolved. All Russian and Tyrandis assets in Hawdawg have been frozen, all diplomats bearing Tyrandi or Russian credentials will be expelled from our territories. In addition all Russian and Tyrandi vessels are hereby barred from transversing the Straits of Gibraltar, and the White Sea Canal. Any vessels attempting to transverse these routes bearing the colors of these two nations will be stopped. We shall mobilize for war ourselves and may the gods shine on the victor.

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

As the retoric flowed, actions began to take place within Hawdawg. Alerts were posted and massive mobilizations began to wake the sleepy giant. Africa would be first, but Europe would so follow in the Hawdawg Governments eyes. The Fast Attack Group Cane along with Battle Group Galapoli built steam and moved towards Bjornoyain Nigeria with one mission to counter the huge Tyrandi Fleet heading towards the coast. In addition the 7th MEF was put on active alert status, as its Fleet moved to meet a 72 hour deadline for insertion into Nigerian Bjornoya. Fast Attack Group Caleb moved into the Straits of Gibraltar along with the 11th Special Littoral Patrol Group to enforce the shipping restrictions placed on the Tyrandi and Russian Governments.

Response to Hawdawgian government

Your response only shows that our as you call it "stereotype" was correct. We are also expelling all the embassies of enemy nations from our territory.

-Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

OOC: I post a thread on war in Russia tomorrow.

OOC: You do realise that you're the first nation to strike and attack another nation in this conflict, right?

The B-96 Horizon stealth bomber from Azimeth was now flying at a comfortable 600 miles per hour, its lethal payload of ten ASG-5 laser-guided anti-ship missiles sitting carefully in its closed bombway doors. Its latest advancement in stealth technology meant that this night operation, complete with black camouflage, was perfect for a small tactical strike on an officially "neutral nation" against an Azimethian ally. As a blip began to appear on the large aircraft's radar, the B-96A's bombay doors opened and delivered its payload on the target, one of Tyrandis' Farragut class DDGNs. As it moved out of all enemy airspace and headed back towards it base in Australia, it was certain to the crew that they had done their job with accuracy and precision.

Careful to avoid detection, the large B-96A slipped back into the darkness from which it came.


OOC: I thought you were neutral? Also you might want to wait until the war actually starts. As in Bjorn and Tyr have at it atleast for one post. Also how did your bomber end up near Africa? You only own land in Australia.

OOC: You do realise that you're the first nation to strike and attack another nation in this conflict, right?

OOC: And that's also a blatant godmod, as you somehow managed to avoid the entire AEGIS perimeter, BARCAP, IR satellite sweeps (flying @ 600 mph = large heat signature) to hit one of my frigates and escaped without a chance for me to respond. Also, you're flying from Australia, which is half-way around the world.

Waaa waaa waaa. Forget it, scrap the post. Any explanation provided now would end up in you guys claiming shenanigans as I didn't provide enough information.

Waaa waaa waaa. Forget it, scrap the post. Any explanation provided now would end up in you guys claiming shenanigans as I didn't provide enough information.

Pardon me if you aren't able to explain how a bomber flying at 600 mph doesn't generate a massive IR signature, or how it can escape without being intercepted by far faster naval fighters.

...as I didn't provide enough information.

:headbang:

The Reichstag
Berlin, Germany
9:13 AM...

Reichsführer-OS Reinhardt Heifer and Reichskanzler Heydrich Kübler were walking rapidly down a deep-underground tunnel - just one of the many that constituted the subterranean web of tunnels and corridors - towards the room where Dr. Hermann Goettel, Reichsmarschal Adolf Koller, Generaloberst Ernst Schenck, and Generalfeldmarschal Heinz Guderian were waiting.

And what were they to discuss? The possibility of war with Tyrandis and Pushka. Kübler and Heifer were followed by ten black-clad OS Guards who would escort them into the heavily armored and extremely well-protected underground bunker.

When the two men arrived, the doors were opened instantly. Inside, Goettel, Koller, Guderian, and Schenck were waiting. As soon as der Führer entered the room, the four men already there stood up and sharply saluted him.

As if clockwork, the men took their seats only after the Reichskanzler did.

[Translated from German]

Reichskanzler Heydrich Kübler: "The Russians have gone too far this time. Supporting Tyrandis in attacking Bjornoya for little to no reason... Absurd.

"I have spoken with the Emperor of Layarteb, the Führer of Hirgizstan, the Prime Minister of Norway, and the Kagan of Soviet Bloc. We have all agreed that the October Alliance will not stand for this.

"It was enough already that those Russians claimed land in Europe. Now they wish to start a war. I know what they are up to and I think anyone else with a brain does too. They're attempting to expand their 'Empire' without directly coming into conflict with anyone.

"I will not accept this! Have all Russian citizens arrested immediately. No deportations. Put them in the work camps. They will be begging for mercy once they see exactly what we are capable of doing to them.

"Now. To address our military response. The 12th Army in Belarus is to be moved thirty kilometers from the Russian border. Before that Army is mobilized, see to it that the 9th and 6th Armies reinforce them.

"Herr Koller..."

Reichsmarschal Adolf Koller: "Ja, mein Führer?"

Reichskanzler Heydrich Kübler: "I want you, and you personally, to come up with a battle plan for obliterating the Russian warm water ports in Estonia and Latvia."

Reichsmarschal Adolf Koller: "Jawohl, mein Führer."

Reichskanzler Heydrich Kübler: "Move all railroad guns in Ukraine to Belarus. Put them in position to fire on Russian land should it become necessary.

"For the Kazakhkorps... I want the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 11th Kazakh Armies mobilized towards Russian land. As the Eurasian Line has now been completed, it is of utmost importance that we protect it.

"However, Europe is more important than anything. The Russians must not lay a single foot on European soil. Move the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Armies to Ukraine in case Pantheaa allows Russia to pass through their soil. I want our cruise missiles ready to fire in a minute's notice.

"Cut off all communications with Russia. At this point, negotiation is no longer an option. I will encourage die Baltisches Reich to ready themselves for war.

"If so much as one Russian military unit comes within four kilometers of Reich land, we will destroy it and declare war."

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

Eastern Belarus...

The 6th, 9th, and 12th Armies began their approach on the Russian border and halted thirty kilometers West, as ordered. The Reich's 450mm railroad guns were aimed at Russia; all cruise missiles in range were armed and ready to fire; all ABM, SAM, and AAAV systems were on full-alert; the Luftwaffe was ready to strike at any time, and the country was gearing itself for war.

OOC: Last time i checked you already expelled all my citizens from your territories.

Anyways i am now waiting for Tyrandis to actually attack Bjornya in Africa before i start my war in Russia.

NG i am gonna need atleast a rough estimate on the layout of your forces.

OOC: Pushka, you can find it in the EII Defenses Sheet.

OOC: So where are we with this?

OOC: Dunno, no word from Tyrandis.

The Liberal Democratic Republic will defend Bjornoya if it's attacked. We have already prepared units of the African Commonwealth Defense Force(ACDF), to aid if needed.

Forces Prepared:
1st Jaeger Divison
5th Jaeger Divison

The 1st Reichsmarine Fleet was creeping slowly through the waters of Denmark headed towards Russian waters in Latvia. Orders had been given by der Führer to Reichsadmiral Ritter von Greim to ensure that no Russian ships were able to leave their warm water ports in Latvia and Estonia.

Accompanying the fleet were the Berlin Class Aircraft Carrier, the München Class Heavy Aircraft Carrier, the Salzburg Class Heavy Aircraft Carrier, the Danzig Class Heavy Bomber Carrier, and the Bremen Class Heavy Bomber Carrier -- a total of 362 various aircraft.

Leading the armada was the Bismarck Class Super Battleship, along with two Hindenburg Class Battleship, one Kiev Class Battleship, and three Aachen Class Medium Battleships.

To further support the flotilla, sixteen FkS-119 Missile Ships, four U-300 Class Attack Submarines, five U-350 Class Attack Submarines, four Engel Class Hospital Ships, fourteen Dorn Class Submarine Killers, four Messer Class Icebreakers, six Elefant Class Supply Ships, and five Königsberg Class Light Battleships.

A new creation of the Reich was also travelling with them: the brand new Heifer Class Arsenal Ship -- an aircraft carrier which had been transformed into a giant machine of war equipped with 180mm, 210mm, 230mm, 250mm, 275mm, 300mm, 350mm and 400mm cannons, along with various cruise missiles, torpedo tubes, gatling guns, two submarine docks, AAA guns, ABM systems, and numerous other weapons systems.

The movement of the 1st Reichsmarine Fleet was dubbed Operation Stahlvogel and the purpose was to put pressure on the Russian ships in the area. Recent tensions between Russia and the October Alliance, along with the risk of war, had pushed the Reichskanzler into doing this.

Already over one-and-a-half million soldiers stood prepared on Reich/Pushkan borders, ready for battle in a minute's notice.

The Reichstag
Berlin, Germany
7:54 AM...

[Translated from German]

Reichskanzler Kübler: "These Russian swine make me so sick. Everytime I turn around they are throwing their weight at smaller countries attempting to claim power. If it were not for the October Alliance and its allies, Russia would've taken over the world.

"Luckily, the German people are standing in their way. So long as I am alive, these pigs will never set foot on European soil."

Reichsführer-OS Reinhardt Heifer: "Mein Führer, of course they will not. I share the same dedication to the preservation of not only Europe, but of the entire world, from these treacherous Russians."

Reichskanzler Kübler: "Soon, I will speak with the leaders of the October Alliance and come to a conclusion of how to properly deal with this situation. Personally, I would like to send our armies marching into Voronej..."

Message from Russian Federation

We demand that the Fourth Reich stop mobilization of its naval and land assets towards our borders. We will not be told what to do by anyone and surely not by a government as incompetent as that of the Fourth Reich. Our naval activities will not be stopped. If the ships of the Fourth Reich interfere with operations of our navy in the international waters or attack Russian VMS vessels in the international waters then the vessels of the Fourth Reich will be sank. We demand you stop your hostile actions at once!

2nd, 5th, and 6th Gvardias as well as 12th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 22nd, 24th, 31st, 33rd regular armies started moving towards borders with Belorussia and Ukraine. 15th, 23rd and 29th armies moved in to reinforce the 1st Gvardia and 7th Army in Lithuania and Latvia. The Rail Road army has sent 78 wagons loaded with the heavy 540mm artillery cannons towards Germanian border. All Flotillas of the Baltic Navy were quickly resupplied and were now ready to roast some German swine. The underwater divisions were already patroling in the international waters, making sure to stay invisible, they were ready to sink the German navy as soon as they got the order. The Air Force has put 14 Air Attack Divsions and 11 Ground Attack Divisions on ready to take off status, the status of the rest of the Air Force could be changed in a matter of hours. VO has increased its awereness level on all the borders, if Germany tried to send aircraft over they would be shot down in a moments notice. The ANZ has started organizing people, training sessions were now mandatory and daily, weapons were already issued, the populace was ready to take on almost any threat. The Russian forces would stop at 20 kilometers outside of Germanian borders and respond to any attack by the German force without mercy or compassion. If the Nazi pigs would try to attack Russian land, they will soon become bacon and then it will only be a matter of time until Berlin will burn.

The bear has awoken.


OOC: By the way NG, the whole thing between me and Bjornya has been resolved for now, i am not attacking him, neither is TOA getting involved if Tyr attacks him, thus i have no reason to have a war with TOA at this point. Just something to think about.

The Gov't of Huahin condemns both sides for their warmongering. The arrogance and selfishness displayed by both sides is a sickening sight for all of humanity. The TOA and Russia are not all powerful, and there are other powers capable of holding off Russia or the TOA.

Message from the Russian Federation

We are simply responding to the threat posed to us. If the Fourth Reich backs down, so will we.

-Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Somewhere in Norway

"Sir, they're at it again."

"What? Who?"

"The Russians sir."

"God damned cocksuckers. What are they doing now?"

"Mobilizing over nothing sir. The Fourth Reich sent out a naval force in international waters, and the Russians are crying out and demanding that they stand down. They're also mobilizing their military... ...again."

"Figures. That's the standard Russian way of doing things. Demand things and rattle the saber."

"What do we do sir?"

"We've got no choice. Put our forces at BERSTAT-4 for the time being. Ready the cruise missile units and target the priority targets."

"Yes sir."

The officer left the man alone and went to get the military ready to face off the Russians. Again.

***************************'

Official message to the World

We are alarmed by the sudden Russian mobilization and demand an explanation as to why they are mobilizing over a Germanian naval exercise. Again, this is an example of Russian overreaction, an issue which the Russian Federation has denied in known Russian style. The Germanians sent a relatively small naval force, and you respond by mobilizing your entire military.

We strongly condemn the Russian Federation for warmongering and for increasing the already high tensions in the area, tensions which we have tried to calm without any cooperation from the Russian Federation. We remind the Russian Federation that it was they who walked out from the summit in Rome, clearly showing the world that they had no desire for peace. We demand a full Russian demobilization immediately, as this can only be seen as preperations for a Russian invasion of the Fourth Reich.

Furthermore, in order to reduce tensions, we also demand that the Germanian warships remain in international waters and does not voilate Russian territorial waters.

Responce of the Russian Federation

Their naval mobilization is only the last straw. We do not see why your intelligence has failed you, but all the recoinessance data we gathered clearly shows over 1.5 million of Reich's troops in the immediate vacinity of our borders.

As for the summit in Rome. We walked out because through your actions your side has demonstrated that you have no desire for long lasting peace, or bettering of relations. There was no reason for us to deal with a nation that says one thing while doing the opposite.

We will not stand down until we see removal of Germanian troops from the vacinity our borders. Our decision is final and a debate will not follow.

-Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Official Message to Cotland
The hypocracy of some nations seems never to end. You defend the Fourth Reich's right to mobilize assets of their military wherever they wish so long as it is within their own or international territory, yet at the same time you repeatedly condemn the Russian Federation for mobilizations within their sovereign territory.

Open Message to Kreynoria

We condemn the Russian overreaction of mobilizing the entire military in an area where there has been no substantial military activity other than normal (OOC: And let's face it. NG moving forces to 30kms of Pushkas borders are becoming pretty damned normal) instead of activating defenses in the areas where there are Germanian activity that we can understand that the Russian Federation is worried about, the Baltic Sea. In the eyes of the Realm, a mobilization such as the Russian one, where substantial forces in the area of two million soldiers can be seen as nothing but clear preperations by the Russian military to invade the Fourth Reich, an act which will do nothing but worsen the already poor relations between the Russian Federation and the Fourth Reich, and to some extent, member-nations of the October Alliance. We will also condemn any unprovoked Germanian attack upon the Russian Federation, should such an attack occur, something which we hope will not occur.

Responce from the Russian Federation

You are saying that we should not view 1.5 million soldiers within a day's marching distance of our borders as a potential threat or a preparation for war? Forgive us but we do not see your logic in this.

-Russian MoD

Official Communique to Russia

We are alarmed of your mobilization of a substantial force in an area where the Germanians have been stationed for quite some time now. We find the explanation to be a poor one because of the duration of the Germanian presense at the border, which has been there for quite some time now. The explanation is, in short, a very poor attempt of giving your mobilization a sense of justification when it can only be seen as preperations for invading the Fourth Reich.

As for Rome, the Russian decision to suddenly leave only shows that it has no wish for peace. The presense of the vessel in question had been known to the Russian Federation for quite some time, and informed to the Russian Federation by both the crew of the vessel and the Government. We also informed the Russian Federation of the possibility of the ship being sunk, something which it was. It was sunk by Norwegian forces in international waters. Hence, the Russian walkout was not justified. The Government kept the Russian Federation posted throughout the whole ordeal, something we seriously doubt that the Russian Federation would do to us had the roles been changed. Had we really wanted war and no relations, we would not have informed you of anything. Hence, your argument is without grounds in reality.

We repeat our condemnation of the clear preperations to invade the Fourth Reich, and warn the Russian Federation that if they invade the Fourth Reich, the Realm will have no other choice than to retaliate alongside our allies. We urge the Russian Federation to show restraint and wisdom and stand down its invasion-troops and rather focus on the Germanian vessels, an area where you seem to have done nothing. That is another thing that strikes us as odd, that the Russian Federation is so concerned about the Germanian ships, yet it does nothing in the Baltic to defend itself. This only shows where the true sentiments of the Russian Federation lies, that it plans to use this as an excuse to invade the Fourth Reich. Again, we urge the Russian Federation to stand down its troops.

Baum Port: 150 km from Russian Territorial Waters

"They're coming!"

"No shit, you see 'em?"

"Not yet, but captain, they'll be coming fast and in hordes I can tell."

"Right you are son, they are a wild bunch."

"But what can we do about it?"

"Make the best of the situation. We may not be able to kill them all but hell if we let them go without a fight!"

"Of course captain, we should hurry, over 50 ships have already left port and are on their way. We don't want to miss this fight!"

"Like hell we're going to miss this. Been waiting all my life to get revenge on these damned creatures. Full speed ahead!"

"Aye Cptn'!"

Within minutes the Bjornoyan naval presence had nearly quadrupled off the northern coast, and ships were pouring in every minute. It was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and not a single Bjornoyan who made it in time would regret it.

Russian Responce

The mobilization of Germanian forces is recent, and has only occured during past few weeks. We will not stand down. We will never feel comfortable with 1.5 million Germanian troops that close to our border, we will not be caught of guard. We will also not discuss the failure of our meeting in Rome. There is no reason too, you have shown to be hypocritical in your policies, that was the cause of our withdrawal.
