With the recent Valdra Accords signed between Scandinva and Latyaq. In order further cement this alliance the Emperor of Scandinva has decided to visit Latyaq to meet with the leaders their. The hopes of this trip were for the people and leaders of both nations to become closer…

So now the Emperor in his private jet landed at Al Iskandariyah. Coming to a complete stop on the runway the doors of the jet opened and the landing stairway went down. Before the Emperor went a dozen of his elite personal bodyguards dressed in traditional battle armor. After them the Emperor emerged into out of the plan and stepped out…

OOC: Sorry for this being a little sloop I typed it rather quickly.

Chairman Alex read the newspapers titles "MEETING BETWEEN NATION LEADERS, PEACE TO COME!"
-"Well, its good to see that some people understand each other in this world..."- He put down the paper and left his office.

Mahmoud Nejad, the Prime Minister of Latyaq was the first to greet the Emperor. He said a traditional Arabic greeting: As-Salamu Alaykum. He brought the Emperor to his car, and told the driver to go to the Palace of Latyaq.

Inside the car Emperor Reginald said,” Greetings Prime Minister Mahmoud Nejad, I have had a good experience in your nation so far and I must say it is rather beautiful.”

Mahmoud Nejad's response: "We are only driving through the safest, most beutiful districts. My greatest challenge as Prime Minister is to clean up this city, which is rather messy. Most of it is slums and poverty and crime is widespread. Most of the country is better, but not by much though. When the government has enough money, we will turn the whole city to be even better then what you have seen. We are hoping to gain the money by forming alliances with friendly nations, and selling our oil. This city is also a port city, and we also want to develop the ports. They can help us too."

Emperor Reginald replied,” My Empire is more than willing and capable to help you clean out the city. We can do this having some of our wealthier own citizens move in permanently or by building vacation/business homes in your city. As well, I can allocate Imperial funds to help your nation build up and also can send groups of Imperial engineers help you to construct the ports you need. Also, all the ports of the Empire are now open to your people.”

There is no need to move your citizens there, unless it is their choice of course. We would be happy to accept funds and engineers. One of the very first things we must do is to build up a police force. Fortunately, we have little trouble finding new recruits because it is employment for poor people who want to get the criminals off the street. We have already reserved some area for jails and the police are getting weapons. There are about 10,000 police throughout the country. One of our bigest problems is that they are undertrained, and underdisiplined. However, things are going right. Many new recruits are joining, and we are increasingly able to train and fund them. It is great that you have opened up all the ports for us. It will help.

OOC: I'm having dinner now. I'll be back in a few minuets. Reply while I'm gone.

“If you desire I can send a number of Imperial Army and Police trainers to your nation to help train and install discipline in your police if you want. As well, the Empire can supply them with superior weaponry if you need to better arm them.

As for my Empire’s ports your ships will be welcomed in any that have room to take them.”

"Many have estimated that it will take 1 trillion US dollars to reform the police and army so they can completly keep order. I can give you time to think of giving Latyaq aid." said Mahmoud Nejad.

The car arrives at the Palace of Latyaq. They step out of the car, and the huge palace of Latyaq is before them. There are many Latyaqi guards. The President of Latyaq, Abdul Ahmad, greets the Emperor.

OOC: mind if I support, and RP an armed rebel group?

The Emperor greeting the President then says to both him and the Prime Minister,” Upon meeting the two for a short period and seeing some of your nation I have concluded that is in name of the good of both of our peoples that I will allocate to your nation 1.2 trillion US dollars to help reform your army and police so that they can completely keep order in your nation.”

OOC: Blackhelm Confederacy it is Latyaq's call because it is not my nation.

The Prime Minister handed him a piece of paper.

"Sign this, please, to give us the aid"

OOC: Blackhelm Confederacy, yes you can.

Reading it rather quickly, but carefully, the Emperor then signed it and put the Imperial seal on it as well. Then he said,” That is done and the funds will begin to arrive shortly. Yet, for now let us get any politics done now since we are on the topic.”

"If you have any political concerns please say so now!" said the Prime Minister.

Abdul Ahmad came in. "Dinner's ready" he said.

Mahmoud Nejad said to Emperor Reginald "Our chef has prepared a fine Arab dinner for you. We can discuss this while we eat."

Emperor Reginald replied,” Alright, then it would be better discussed over a meal then it would be here. As well, I am hungry due to my long journey here.”

The night before

A small convoy lead in by two black humvees enter a small town just over the border. A mercenary, dressed in black BDU's, and carrying a G36E assault rifle, steps from the lead Humvee, and approaches a man sent out to meet him. "Did you bring the weapons" asks the smaller man. "Yea, they are in the trucks. Have your boys start unloading them, and keep in touch." the mercenary replied.

The men in the villages quickly unloaded boxes from the trucks, and the trucks then drove away, back over the border. The boves were filled with AR-550's, G36E's, RPG-7's, Javelins, an assortment of explosives, some Lewisite gas, and a few 82mm mortars.

Presently

The airport was peaceful, just like any other day. Suddenly, the silence was shattered. A brown sedan flew through the fence, and smashed into the security office, exploding seconds later. Behind it, four vans sped up to the main terminal. Seven men wering black balaclavas, and brandishing G36E's hopped out of each, and ran into the terminal. A guard inside was shot dead, as were a number of other bystanders. "Everyone down now!" a man yelled, firing into the air.

In Al Iskandariyah, four explosions smashed through an industrial area of the city, as car bombs went off in quick succession. Downtown, a bomb exploded in a bust office building, and a Lewisite cloud began to form.

On television sets around the country an image flashed across screen saying:

The Rebellion Has Begun

During the meal, Mahmoud Nejad gave the Emperor some news.

"Thank you very much for your gifts. Because we now have much money, I will begin building the army. I will announce the news to Al Latyaqiyah after the meal. Let us shake hands."

The two leaders shake hands, while photographers from Al Latyaqiyah took pictures.

"I already have a few soldiers. If you would like, I can show you."

One of the Emperor’s guards got the news, but decided not to tell the Emperor due to this they wanted for this to be good publicity. The Emperor then said,” I do desire to inspect as it would be a good thing to show that both of our countries are now working together.”

The Latyaqi security forces came in. There were 25 of them, each with an AK-47 and soem grenads. They pointed their AK-47s at the rebels, and ordered them to surrender.

In Al Iskandariyah, four explosions smashed through an industrial area of the city, as car bombs went off in quick succession. Downtown, a bomb exploded in a bust office building, and a Lewisite cloud began to form.

Unfortunately the industries had tanks full of fuel. This caused fires that burned large areas of the city. The young firefighter regiment was only able to slow the advance


Meanwhile, Mahmoud Nejad was showing Emperor Reginald some of his troops:

Then, a general came in to tell Mahmoud the news. "No! It can't be!" He told Emperor Reginald what had happened.

The men in the airport replied "We have readied bombs in the terminal. If you enter, we will detonate them, killing the hostages!"

In the city, as the firemen came, a trap was set out for them. An RPG was fired from the 3rd floor of a nearby building, and smashed into the lead fire truck. A group of heavily armed men then ambushed the other trucks, and began taking the firefighters hostage.

At the airport, one of the soldiers asked what the rebels want.

Emperor Reginald being told this said,” We will crush this rebellion and we will not give in to terrorists’ demands! If you allow me I can have 10 legions (50,000 soldiers) here by nightfall. My soldiers will be able to keep the order and also to fight the rebellion if you allow me to bring them.”

At the airport, one of the soldiers asked what the rebels want.

One of the men inside responded "We want your traitorous government to stop selling our nation to foreigners, and for Mahmoud to stepp down so that warlord Mohammed Al-Libi will take his place"

Al Latyaqiyah news,

The President has just announced reforms to bring our army to 50,000 men in just 1 month, 100,000 men by 2 months, and 500,000 men in 6 months. He says he'll accomplish that by aid from our allies, The Scandinvans.

Until then, he has allowed the Scandinvans to send 50,000 troops to Latyaq. He also announces that there are terorists, and the Scandivan troops will help deal with this threat. Citizens have been put on high alert.

Many critics fear that 500,000 men in 6 months is unrealistic, and we can only have that many troops in about a year.

One of the men inside responded "We want your traitorous government to stop selling our nation to foreigners, and for Mahmoud to stepp down so that warlord Mohammed Al-Libi will take his place"

The Soldiers reply saying "How are we selling our nation to foreigners? Our leaders are only accepting aid to help build our fledging, weak nation".

The Federation of Mercosis offers military assistance to Latyaq. A division od infantry is being prepared for transit if necessary.

"We do as we are told. The leader believes that we should build on our own. Under warlord Mohammed, we will build our own nation, not one that relies on a foreign power!"

Emperor Reginald immediately gave the order for the troops to come. As was his promise 50,000 highly trained soldiers arrived in Latyaq and began to spread throughout the city and began to patrol the streets of Al Iskandariyah.

Mahmoud Nejad has been put on communications with the raiders.

"We only need the foreign help now, while we're young! We will build up to be a strong nation."

At the same time, President Abdul Ahmad contacted the Mercosis leader, and gave him permission to deploy as many troops as they wish.

The Scandinavian forces were expected. Rebels planted dozens of roadside bombs throughout the city. Snipers lurked in windows and on rooftops. RPG's and M60 nests waited in alleys for an unsuspecting soldier to pass. Toyota pickups patroled the streets, armed with .50 cal machine guns in the flatbed. Ordinary looking civilians hid suicide belts beneath their clothes. The Scandinavian forces would pay a high price for Latyaq.

In barrackes in the city, drill sargents began training and disiplining the Latyaqi troops. In just a few days, we should have hundreds of new troops patrolling alongside their Scandinvan allies.

"Enough negotions!" the apparent leader said. "Meet our demands or people will die!"

"Enough negotions!" the apparent leader said. "Meet our demands or people will die!"

The security forces were ordered in. They knew there would be victems, but they saw this as a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't".

Rinderfurt International Airport
The airport became a hive of activity as Blackhawk helicopters and Condor transport aircraft arrived. Five minutes the first battalion arrived in their 8-tonne trucks followed by a battery of light artillery and began to load up.

Official Statement
The 2nd Federation Infantry Division will be flying into Latyaq within 24 hours. We will require a safe airstrip to land on and act as a base.

Some citizens fought the rebels with their own weapons. Others turned them in to the Scandinvan and Latyaqi security forces. Many others, however, joined the rebels wether overcome by fear, or by their believe in the cause of the rebels.

In just a few days, we should have hundreds of new troops patrolling alongside their Scandinvan allies.The Imperial soldiers now had filled the streets of the city and they now began to restore order in the city. As well, a regiment of special Imperial soldiers now had arrived at the airport and request permission to seal the perimeter around the terrorists.

The Scandinavian forces would pay a high price for Latyaq.The Imperial Army now had taken in the policy of shooting back at anyone who shot at them and they were given permission to kill any person who first attacked them.

Our soldiers are attacking the group at the airport right now. If you want to surround it so they can't escape, go ahead.

Latyaqi generals are also planning about the structure of the army. The proposal included this:

20,000 Infantry
10,000 Anti-Tank weapons
100 tanks (3 men each)
150 armored cars
5000 machine gunners (2 men each)
100 fighter planes
50 bomber planes (4 men each)
50 helicopters (2 men each)
total: about 50,000 men.

Some of the generals believe it to be foolish that we are building planes so early, and believe we should concentrate on ground troops first.

"ALLAH AKBAR!" the rebels all yelled in unison. A hail of gunfire poured out of the structure, and suddnely, a massive blast consumed the terminal in a fireball. All of the rebels, and hostages, were burned alive, and hopefully, so were some Latyaqis.

Every large intersection the Scandinavian forces came to, IED's would explode, sending nails and ball bearings tearing into bystanders. Sniper fire opened up everywhere. Suicide car bombs erupted from at least a dozen parked cars as soldiers passed them.

OOC: Ill be back later.

"ALLAH AKBAR!" the rebels all yelled in unison. A hail of gunfire poured out of the structure, and suddnely, a massive blast consumed the terminal in a fireball. All of the rebels, and hostages, were burned alive, and hopefully, so were some Latyaqis.

10 of the Latyaqis were either daed or wounded. The other 15 were able to make it out. The airport is out of operation.

A few hundred Scandinvan soldiers were either killed or wounded in the attacks, but mostly the Imperial Army kept on with little fear of the insurgents. As well, the army began to sweep the city for rebels and terrorists.

In the southern part of the town, a few Latyaqi recruits were fired upon by rebels. The Latyaqis returned fire, and killed all of them. Another 5 were captured and jailed. It was the first victory in the history of the Latyaqi army, but they know that the task of defeating the rebels will take much more fighting.

The Imperial Army had succeeded in killing 28 attackers and arrested another 43 insurgents. As well, they had begun to make patrols over the city with unmanned probes.

As well, they had begun to make patrols over the city with unmanned probes.

Can you please explain how they work?

The rebels had taken over a number of towns around the country side. From these towns, attacks were launched against dozens of Scandinavian convoys. Entire strips of highway were lined with IED's, and were so dangerous, no civilian car drove down them.

Al Iskandariyah had streets lined with snipers, and anyone crossing would be shot dead. These sniper alleys were becoming more and more common in the slums of the city. The entry to these streets were also lined with IED's, and RPG troopers guarded the roofs. A number of men rolled up to the main police building in the city, and tossed Lewisite canisters into the window. They then donned gas masks, and rushed in, killing an unlucky souls to be still suffering from the gas. Once inside, numerous prisoners were freed and rearmed, and the police building was truned into something of a fort.

Outside the city, Qassam rockets were assembled, and together with mortar fire, began slamming into parts of the city.

Can you please explain how they work?OOC: Their basically the same kind of unmanned spy airplanes the U.S. army uses.

IC: Imperial Special Forces now began to be deployed throughout Al Iskandariyah in response to the new attacks. The Special Forces now had succeeded in taking many key points throughout the city and killed many hundreds of their enemies.

In support Imperial regulars patrolled the streets and now killed any non-military person that carried a weapon in public after curfew. As well, they began to seize all the neighborhoods one by one successfully.

OOC: You have to fight for each neighborhood, you cant just say you took them.

OOC: You have to fight for each neighborhood, you cant just say you took them.OOC: The way that I am using seize is by which I mean it forcibly.

OOC: I know. You have to RP a fight, or else i can just say "rebels have seized the capitol, killed Emperor Reginald, and win"

OOC: Sorry, about that I just got a cup of coffee and my mind is working again.

IC: The Imperial regular soldiers fought fiercely in house to house fighting encountering heavy resistance in a number of different neighborhoods throughout the capitals. Dozens of regulars went down either died, wounded, or dying. Yet, due to their training they pushed on not fearing death because they knew that if they failed their Emperor might be put at risk. To protect the Emperor a regiment of the most feared, for many reasons, and most skilled soldiers in the Empire were brought in to protect them.

OOC: lol, no problem, happens to all of us

As fierce gunbattles were being waged in the streets of the city, and the rebels were losing ground, Qassam and mortar fire picked up, and ambushes on convoys increased by 10%. This would most likely be a bloody, bloody war.

OOC: Since my brain is working I wish to know do you have any plans if make me withdraw or are you doing in revenge or are you just doing it for the fun of rping?

IC: The mortar fire for the most part took out only a number of soldiers due to the regular soldiers taking cover whenever they heard mortar fired at them, but it did take its toll by causing a number of soldiers to get wounded due to debris flying from where the mortar hit and also some vehicles were destroyed due to a well place mortar shot.

When the rebels attacked convoys they were meet with heavy resistance from the soldiers and from fire from the armored vehicles guarding the convoy. Yet, quite a few of the convoys’ vehicles were destroyed or damaged. As well, a good deal of the soldiers were either killed or wounded in the assault.

OOC: mostly just for fun

The rebels took a high casualty rate from convoys assaults. They decided to only attack lightly defended convoys, and planted more IED's all along the major roadways. In the city, suicide bombings were increasing in frequency. In some parts of town, 1/5 of all the parked cars were exploding.

OOC: I can concur to that as it is hard to find a rp that is just fun to be in.

IC: With the rebels now mostly targeting the lightly armed ones the Imperial generals decided to adapt their strategy to have to use lightly armed convoys in needed situations, but overall that only caused one or two less to be sent because the vast majority of the lightly armed convoys were gathered on quick notice. As well, the IDE’s forced the convoys to have to deploy sweepers first in order to help prevent them from exploding right near a convoy vehicle, but that caused the convoys to have to slow making them more of a target and as also their was still a high rate of the IDE’s blowing up near the convoys.

The regular soldiers were forced to adapt a policy destroying all running cars that refused to stop when they within twenty five feet of an Imperial soldiers.

Mortar attacks from a distance were now replacing ambushes when it came to convoys. Qassam rockets were also being deployed to fire near the capitol building. The sweepers were also set up. As soon as a sweeper came down the road,a group of RPG troopers would launch an ambush, and quickly flee.

IC: A band of freshly trained Latyaqi troops begins patroling the city. Suddenly, a rebel truck comes for them. There is a rebel in it firing at the Latyaqis. Fortunatley, one of the Latyaqis has an RPG. He fires it at the truck, hitting it in the fuel tank causing an explosion. The Latyaqis begin patroling the city

OOC: I decided that since this has gone so far off topic from the original emperor visits Latyaq, i started a new theread for this. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11206003
