"The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence under no circumstances can it be neglected."-Sun Tzu, The Art of War
New Christendom, Jagada
The diplomatic tour had gone well for Highest Minister Riyabuo. The Translyvania was an offical Jagite ally, and even now their bases were being built in the Monotheistic Republic. The Beltway as agreed to a free-trade zone, and resources of vital importance to Jagada had begun flowing in, almost none stop. The economy was booming. Having trade and diplomatic relations with Kahanistan helped the situtation all the more. Kahanistan, despite a war with Kraven, was able to export resources to Jagada--for trade of coarse. Needless to say, only one more thing would bring the Monotheistic Republic out of the gutter--a war.
War was something not to be neglected and it had to have a point--a purpose. Jagada had lost nine straight wars--no small failure. Though, back in those days they had but on promising command, Franco York, and were thus limited in what they could do. Following the establishment of the Republic, the Jagite Military had an overhaul, that hasn't stopped. The military corporation of Inn Industrial was producing Challanger 3s, and Hastatis at record numbers. Hali-42 rifles were coming off the assembly line at break neck speed. Along with a new generation of officers, wanting to break the record of nine defeats and score Jagada's first victory. This made these troops immune to morale losses due to nine lost wars. This would litterally be a fight for survival. Jagada had be blessed that its oppenents in the past deemed the Jagites too pathetic to 'conquor' and simply sent them packing like some Third World Country. Though they all knew this wouldn't happen a tenth time. These enemies would seek to forge Jagada into a province their empire or nation.
Sun Li looked over a map which displayed the ocean between Jagada and another large nation in a whole other region called Nebarri Prime. Not much was known about these Nebarrians, but they were a dictatorship and the Highest Minister had ordered that plans be drawn up. Riyabuo was a rather, hostile woman, she was bent of winning a war. War was, like Sun Li had told her before, not some game to be played to win votes. Nevertheless Sun Li and the Imperial Fist worked on the details. First and foremost spies would enter Nebarri Prime and begin to test the will of their dictator's hold on the nation. Their goal was to incite some riots, or protest, or even armed revolt if possible. They would do this by meeting up with one of the small resistance groups that was bound to be in the nation and use their resources to start something small--then knowing of Jagada's intervention it would blow up knowing that liberators were coming. If there were no resistance groups than it was only a matter of time before the peasants of this dictatorship realized that Jagada was coming to free them--then the agents of the Republic would spring their trap and incite a revolution. No, they would not stand in the streets, as that was foolish. They would go to the rural areas of the Nebarrian Empire and incite revolution there in the farmers--whom like in most nations were prone to revolution due to their conditions. If that didn't work, it was simply a matter of spreading propaganda and starting something, because regardless of how iron fisted a dictator was there was always a portion of the population unwilling to allow that iron fist to grip them forever and would riot or go straight to armed revolution--knowing that the police may just killed them for rioting.
While this spy operation was undergoing. Grand Admiral Bradley III would gather up the combined Grand Fleets and sail out. Though in two groups. Each group was equal in its abilities. The Grand Fleets had a range of ships: form the Sarzonian made vessels to the ones of generic origins. Both were equally good, if leaning a bit in favor of the generic class--due to a bad experiance with Sarzonian ships during the surprise attack on HailandKill. Nevertheless various carriers were assembled, along with Dreadnaughts and SuperDreadnaughts--though the later wasn't in a great deal of supply. This was made up by adding more Battleships and Battlecruisers to the Fleets. These two massive aramadas would sail away from each other, but always be able to come to each other assistance should the need arise. The Jagites never sailed in one massive concentrated force--but in groups to provide mobilities to circumstance. In charge of the two groups were Admirals Zhiqu and Rdo-Qyi. Both experianced in the art of naval war and would ensure that the wishes of Grand Admiral Bradley III, who was only recently promoted to that position when his Battleships survived five direct hits from Killian vessels and limped away to lead the remnants of the Jagite Fleet home.
In Jagada itself--Sun Li and Imperial Fist had other ideas. Soldiers were being called upon, as so far up to Army and one Corps. had been rallied and were preparing for combat. The Homeland Guardians, another branch of the military, were set up in Inn and were fortifying the costal areas--this did hamper trade but not by much as some of the areas of Inn, traditionally forbidden docks reserved for civilian useage (such as fishing and yachts and the like) were blocked to civilians and opened to trade. This would ruffle the feathers of a few rich people, but they could easily entertain themselves at the golf coarses. This included shoreline railguns, steel reinforced concrete bunker lines, trenches, anti-air defenses, and the like.
And this was all before war was declared. The Jagite Foreign Ministry worked to rectify this. They finally produced something and handed it to Sun Li and Imperial Fist for their approval before sending it onward to Highest Minister Riyabuo. As Sun Li looked over it, he was rather impressed:

Offical Republic Statement
Rulers of the Nebarri Prime Empire,
There comes a time in a nation's history where it must looked upon the less fortunate in our world. Those whom are oppressed under the jackboot of an Emperor--your people are one of them. The Monotheistic Republic would like to ask that the Nebarrian Empire please hold an election to at the very least allow the people to decide whom they want as their leader.
I assure you, the Monotheistic Republic is by no meaning joking. We have found your nation a stain upon its proud people since we entered onto the World Stage--I would advise you to head our words for this is no laughing matter.
Signed,
Foreign Minister Alfred Rednight
The Monotheistic Republic of Jagada

Sun Li was impressed, but only to an extent, it was a very vague reason for going to war. Nevertheless it wasn't his job to question the Foreign Minister, it was after the task of diplomatic communication which he was paid to do.
"Its fine," he stated and sent the messenger to give the message to Riyabuo. It would soon to be broadcast to Nebarri Prime where Jagada would await its response.
