1147 hours, Singapore, Military Headquarters

This would be a beautifull day, a great day. After years of Decline, bitter Internal Fighting with Fascist Guerilla's and the following reconstruction, a renaissance would begin. Marshall Kung Hao was sipping his drink and sighed. Life was good, certainly with a booming economy and military conquest ahead of him. He emptied his glass and headed for the door. As he left his Office three guards saluted and one of them followed him as he went through the corridor towards the Conferance Room. At 1200 hours a meeting would be held with all Chiefs of Staffs, Air Force Commanders, Army Commanders, Marine Corps Commanders and Navy Commanders. The Subject of the meeting would be the Three Pronged Attack which had been developed for over a year now...

The Marshall Entered the room, sat down and waited for everybody to take his or her seat.

Marshall:"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome first of all to the Centre of the Armed Forces of Warta Endor. I'm sure you've been here several times, but never has your presence here been more important. Today we will discuss Operation Hammer, Operation Rebirth and Operation Thunder. I will begin with operation Hammer, I reuqest that questions will be left for the end...

Operation Hammer, ladies and gentlemen, has in fact one main goal. We must take control of Thailand, Burma and the Former Indochinese part of Ato-Sara. It looks like a though thing to do, and it is. But it is certainly not impossible...

Two Armies, One Marine Expeditionary Force and Two Air Fleets: the 1st and the 5th Armies, the 1st. Expeditionary Force and the 1st and 3rd Airfleets, will be used for this Operation. Bomber Command will give support, of course, as will the 1st. Fleet.

The first to roll is the 5th. Army, they will move up the Kra Peninsula and swing East, towards Bangkok and the remainder of Indochina. The 1st. Army will follow close behind the 5th but they will continue North and West, into Burma. They will destroy any resistance with Force, because we can't affoord to lose the speed of our advance.

The 1st. Expeditionairy Force will land along the Coast of Vietnam, at three points: near Ho Chi Minh City, near Hue and near Haiphong. Their orders are to capture the coast and move inland to meet the 5th Army.

The Air Fleets will give close Air Support, obviously. Deep Strikes will be done by Bomber Command.

This operation should and could be finished within three months. There is no serious resistance, the most dangerous resitance must be expected from the former Ato-Saran military.

Now, I'll move on to Operation Rebirth.

This Operation is fairly Simple and small. The 4th. Expeditionary Force will invade the Salomon Islands and New Caledonia. These will srerve as bases for future Operations in the South Pacific. The Marines will be supported by the 3rd. Fleet and the 5th. Airfleet. The invasions will be launched at the same time as Operation Hammer. Within Two weeks, the Islands should be under our control.

Finally Operation Thunder.

Operation Thunder is the Invasion of the Phillipines. We now the territory, we have fought there in the past with our Allies, Whittier, Mauiwowee and Ato-Sara agains the Cult of Barney. The Islands were never really brought under our control, we only managed to destroy it in the bitter fighting. The Island is still a ruin, but we will bring salvation.

the Operation will start with Bomber Command preforming strikes at Military Targets throughout the Islands. The 4th. Air Fleet will join Bomber Command later on. After two weeks of bombardments, the 2nd. and 3rd. Expeditionary Forces will land on several different beaches in the Islands. The Fight on these Islands may take a long time. We must expect heavy resistance from former Cultists or local population. Remember, loads of arms and ammunition were left on the islands after we retreated in the years of decay. Another big mistake from our former government...

We will start the Operations in Three Months. Units will take extra training for specific targets. Any questions?

Admiral Furgeson of Submarine Force:"Sir, what is the role of my Force?"
Marshall Kung Hao:"Well, the SSBN's will give missiles support and will fire cruise missiles on tartgets on the Mainland and the Phillipines. The SSN's will keep an eye on the North. I don't trust New Slovakia, I think they might react Hostile on ur Operations in SE Asia. That's the reason that the Nuclear Forces will be alerted as well. Is that an adequate answer to your question?"
Admiral:"Yes sir!"
Marshall:"Good. Commanders will get specific orders for their units within 36 hours. Specialized Training will start in 48 Hours. Good Day to you...."

HANOI, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF INDOCHINA

"God damn it!"
Revolutionary Leader Đào Thị Cam paced back and forth in her office, her hands curled into tight fists.
"Those fucking imperialists!" Cam said angrily, "I could strangle them all right now! 'Manoevres' my ass!"
"Comrade Đào, please, calm down," Chief of the Indochina People's Army Lý Đức Mười said.
"Calm down, Mười?! Those Warta Endoran colonialists are about to invade our asses, and all you can tell me is 'calm down!' You can't be this military genius who brought me to power, because you must be the dumbest shit I know!" Cam yelled.
"I'm not just telling you to be calm," Mười replied, "The IPA has of course been mobilized along the borders and the coast. Our navy has been deployed into our waters where they are holding 'manoevres' and our airbases are all going crazy. We won't, at least, let them catch Indochina unawares."
"That's not enough you're telling me, but I'll accept it," Cam replied, "You may go, Mười."

Re: Conference

- The Kingdom doesn't see the necessity of a conference in Gaza. The history of Egypt and Israel is, well, just history. There is no tension between the two states, and the risk of a war in our area is less than 25% (at least according to me).

- We will continue to patrol our southern borders 24/7 as long as it's necessary, but that must not be a sign of anything special to you.

No, only buying from Earth V nations is called commerce. As for people making up planes and stuff, they still have to obey the laws of physics. Though it's said that you can make a brick fly if you give it enough thrust, a brick will still not fly well.

By the way, if you buy RL equipment, you still have to buy it from someone that already has it, such as Sharina for US equipment or everyone and their mother for Soviet toys.

ooc: this is ooc - guys, don't kill the IC thread by turning it into a spam fest.

IC: The Emirate of Alif Laam Miim and The Democratic Republic of Arabicia have declared an alliance between the two states. The alliance aims to improve military and economic ties, as well as provide mutual assistance against armed attacks and likewise promote protectorship over fellow Muslim states.

ooc: please confirm this Arabicia, so people don't think that I'm godmoding this.

OOC: We never told a user that he/she can't use storefront bought equipment on Earth V that he/she bought before joining. That might change in the future, but it's just been assumed that it's part of the NS country's history (that it was developed in the country, even if it was actually bought).

Using US equipment is even more complicated than that, though. It's necessary to find what state the corporate headquarters is in (because the US is divided), not just that it's a US company.

Plus, TG6R has always owned General Electric and Airbus, relocating them to Germany.

Again you cant claim RL companies/Equipment. And agin Us equipment is built in more than one state. So realy you cant inforce this. Just mkae it to were you can only use RL tech. And then let anybody use anything. It would make more sence.

There are problems with that "rule" of RL companies/equipment (it never has been actually written out in full), as you pointed out.

We do pretty much what you say. We just keep everything reasonable (Modern tech).

So I can make my own RL stuff. Good. But can I buy non RL stuff from somone else?

The People's Republic of Arabicia would like to announce an alliance with the Emirate of Alim Laam Miim. We hope to bind our nations together for the prosperity of all of the peoples of the Middle East. Arabicia would also like to note that they hope to make more alliances with other likeminded governments.

Khaled Hosseini, Interim Foreign Minister of The People's Republic of Arabicia

The Emirate is seeking partners in the newest civil project, to introduce a massive hydroelectric dam along the steep ridges of the Qattara basin. The project would introduce a massive hydroelectric potential, offering vast amounts of electrical power to the Emirate in its Egyptian and Libyan territories. In addition, the water collected in the basin would provide a source of water for irrigation - after desalination, of which the byproducts could be marketed as commercial salt.

The unfortunate side effect would be the demolition of several natural habitats, although the government is looking for ways to compensate for the damage, if necessary. We look for any assistance in any of these regards.

[for RL connection, read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qattara_Depression under Hydro-electric Possibilities

or here: http://www.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/80858e/80858E0a.htm]


Since in my alt history the Aswan High Dam was never constructed, there has been no effective utilization of the hydroelectric potential, opting instead to use coal and oil plants left by the British. In comparison between the two projects, the Aswan High Dam has an energy capacity of 2100MW - the Qattara project would have an estimated energy capacity of 2400 MW. Between the two, the Aswan High Dam has a more lasting environmental detriment, storing up vital silt for fertile plains and increasing salinity of the downstream flow - whereas the Qattara would pose only short-term damages to the local environment. In all, I think it's a great idea and it could easily subsidize my energy requirements.

The Arabician energy giant West & Burke hope to invest into the dam plans in Qattara. West & Burke are an enourmous force in Arabicia and have been the largest company in the nation fo over five years. While they mainly work in the petroleum field they have begun to work in electric ever since the revolution ended. West & Burke released this message to the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim

This is News At Noon - you're watching the leading news channel KNN, Kopparbergs News Network.

Yesterday evening the Strategic High Command made an underground nuclear test in the southern part of Algeria, in the Sahara Desert. We have the Supreme Commander with us on the phone:

(Reporter)
– Why are you blowing up a nuclear bomb in our own country?

(Supreme Commander)
– We have to test our nuclear missiles to make sure they behave as we want to.

- But what happens in the area now? There must be radiation?

- No, the test is made at a very large deep, and the sand and rocks around the explosion will melt and act like a shield. No radiation is leaking out, we continuously measure the radiation in the area, and there is none.

- How big was the bomb?

- We only make these tests with a small nuclear yield of 150 kt. That's about 15 % of the yield on our Jericho-2 Missile which can hold a yield of 1 mt.

- Will you blow up more bombs?

- Not in the near future, this was the third and last planned test in Sahara. The development of the coming Jericho-3 will not demand these tests.

- Was it a missile test?

- Not exactly. We didn't fire a missile, we just put the yield underground. The missile itself doesn't need any more test.

- Thank you Supreme Commander. One last question though, why isn't the tests made in Israel where the bombs are manufactured?

- We have a testing area in the Israeli desert too, but we prefer to make these nuclear tests in Sahara because this is a sparsely populated area.

- Okay, thank you again, Supreme Commander. Now on to something else. In Kopparbergs Tunisia the unemployment rate is going...

We accept the proposal as it stands, although we are uncertain as it pertains to the actual energy yield, since we cannot base our faith in estimates completely. We also wonder how we can manage sharing the electrical output from this project from our central province in Matruh to Arabicia. But in due time, we can figure out the logistics of this project.

My dear neighbor,
I notice that you seem to have your hands full in neighboring Iraq. With the renegade Vineyardian forces running rampant and the Islamic insurgencies, I imagine that Iraq has become quite the money and body pit for your government.

As my own nation is almost entirely Shi'a, much like the Iraqi majority, and my military is practically overflowing with recruits due to the momentum of our recent revolution, I feel that perhaps it would be best for all parties involved if we could arrange for Iraq to be turned over to Sistan. Being under the control of their neighbors rather than a foreign power from Europe, especially when said neighbor shares the same religion, may help to calm the population. As for the Vineyardians, I'm quite sure that my military could calm them down.

In exchange for control of Iraq, I offer treaty ports in the Gulf and an oil deal to keep your nation fueled for a very fair price.

Subject: Re: Iraq

We do indeed have our hands full in the Iraq. When the situation became excessively turbulent after the attempted invasion of Iran by Vineyardian rogues, we were forced to take drastic action. In a rare practice for us, we essentially gave up on policing in Iraq, evacuating anything and anybody important out of there.

However, we must note that we are not having problems because the insurgents are Islamic, we are merely having problems due to the excessive unrest that the Vineyardians caused in the local populace.

Nonetheless, we do see the success that religion could have in turning over the territories to The Persian Empire of Sistan.

Therefore, we agree to transfer the territory of Iraq over to Sistan, in return for the aforestated treaty ports in the Gulf and oil deal.

Long Live Comrade Đào's Glorious Popular Revolution!
Proum Sokha, DPRI Foreign Minister

INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC:

The DPRI had told every single Indochinese citizen what was most likely about to happen, so to avoid any confusion that might have been caused by the huge military mobilizations. As a result, many had sought refuge in interior Laos or Cambodia, or even just central Vietnam. Some stayed though, and often requested weapons to help defend alongside the troops. While some lucky ones got Type 56-II assault rifles, most were given PPSh-41 or K-50 submachine guns. In contrast, the armies on the western border and coastline were the best equipped in Indochina, with brand-new Type 56-IIs and Indochinese-made T-90s.
Central Indochina wasn't as well defended. The units there had older weapons and vehicles, such as old Type 56 rifles that still had underfolding bayonets. A few unlucky people still had Type 1 semiautomatic carbines. Most of the tanks were still old T-55s or T-62s, although a good number of them were the upgraded ones with 125mm smoothbore guns and ERA.
At sea, the DPRI's small navy vigilantly patrolled Indochinese territorial waters, with small, old, frigates and patrol submarines.The frigates with helipads usually had an Mi-17 ASW model helicopter to hunt any submarines deployed in the area. The two battleships in Indochinese possession were deployed closer to the coast, one at Hải Phòng and one at Kampong Saom.
Finally, all the fighters and close air support aircraft at Indochinese Airbases were mostly ready to take off at any time. About a third of them were newer MiG-29s and Su-27s, although the majority of the planes were older fighters such as the MiG-21 and the Su-20. A select few had been upgraded, but most stayed ghetto.
Đào Thị Cam looked out of the window of the Hà Nội capitol, looking down at the elite Revolutionary Division 1 marching through the streets. Instead of the Mi-8 helicopter usually on the helipad outside for when she flew it, an Mi-24VM gunship sat there.
Cam had been looking forward to ruling Indochina for a long time. 29 when the revolution had taken place, she would rule the country until she died.
Not so, now that these imperialists had decided that it was their right to control Indochina. Honestly, they were an affront to socialism and didn't deserve to be the "Federal Socialist Republic of Warta Endor." For the acronym "FSRWE," those weren't the names Cam would've picked. She thought FSRWE stood for "Fascist Shit Rear WipEs."
'Maybe they are just doing manuevers,' Cam thought. Then she shook her head in disgust, 'And maybe I'm a little optimistic bitch.'

ooc. may I inform everyone that I haven't invaded Indochina, so stating (for example) in the IAWS thread that I invaded Indochina is wrong.

The President of the New CSA paced his office. Outside was a normal day in Houston, Texas - capital of the new CSA. All of that afternoon, President Sickles had been discussing plans for expansion with his generals. The two generals, Mortimer and Glatton had drawn up plans for the incorporation of three new states into the Confederacy. The President had his sights set on Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky. The annexation was to be kept as peaceful as possible, with troops moving out of Tennessee and Louisiana into the new territories.

Along the northern border of Tennessee, 10,000 troops of Mortimer's III Corps moved into position, whilst to the south in Knoxville the first units of the reserve X corps airborne assault squadrons were boarding CH-47E chinooks in Knoxville AFB. In Louisiana, units of Glatton's V corps began to form motorised columns near the border with Arkansas, just north of Shreveport.

At 2300 hours...

The order had come four hours ago. Three MH-53E aircraft flew in low over Little Rock, Arkansas. Below, over 3,000 troops were rapidly heading towards the state capital. On board the helicopters, 50 troops, and two light assault vehicles. The helicopters bumped down in the city, and the special forces headed straight for the government offices. Only two hours away, motorised infantry were speeding for the capital - so far resistance had been minimal. In Frankfort, the same was happening, whilst in Jefferson city, the troops had yet to arrive. By daybreak the expansion would be complete, back in Houston, the foreign office prepared a contact to the countries of the world...

We will send two observers to Abadan Airfield. They will come in a civil airplane, but we wonder if you can guarantee their safety whilst in air, or if they must be escorted by an F-16?

We will also send one observer to the Great Sixth Reichs airfield in northern Iraq. He will be in Iraq as long as TG6R's military are present there.

The Emirate is increasing its military, as hostilies in the Sudan are rising. The Ministry of Defense has approved recruiting 40,000 additional troops, to support the Army of Aswan.

What's this? Yet more filthy imperialist scum? Have you perchance looked at a map lately? Is Indochina an unclaimed island? No! It is a great sovereign nation under our great Revolutionary Leader Đào Thị Cam. And moving large fleets into Indochinese territorial waters is a violation of international law. We do not have "probloms." We are simply reiterating that Warta Endor's imperialist fleets aren't allowed in Indochinese waters.

Oh, we are sorry. This is a poor call on our behalf. We thought that they were invading a empty peace of land. We change our side on this conflict.

The People's Republic of Arabicia is refiguring their budget and thus their defense budget. DRASTIC changes have been made to The Republican Guard.

OOC: I changed the way I did my budget. Now I'm on the same track as nations of similiar RL size and budget. I also took into account that most of the soldiers are serving their compulsory military service.

Always wanted to try subversion- haven't had the chance to do this yet in my long history in Earth V though.

The Sharina Technocracy watches developments in the reformed CSA with a careful eye, as it is concerned that the new CSA might collapse in a similiar way to the former Norleans nation.

In other news, Sharina begins insertion of special forces and counter-espionage agents within Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illionis to ensure that these nations remain free from non-Sharinan influences for the time being. Plans are put in motion to quietly bribe these former states as Sharina's resurgent expansionist government looks towards Chicago with a mixture of desire and disdain, partly due to the issues with the Boeing Corporation.

Several border guards are bribed to allow Sharinan agents inside these states, and the seeds of a rebellion stands to be sown should these agents be successful in their tasks. Despite this, the Sharina Technocracy's attention is mostly focused on the Pacific and the resurgence of various nations throughout Europe and South America. No plans are made regarding Europe, South America, Africa, or Asia for the time being.

The Boer republik will watch anxiously as the situation in the southern asian region either escalates or calms down.

we also wish to establish an allliance with Wartor Endor as we agree with your national prerogative to defend your territory from insidous revolutionaries. we can relate to your plight as Africa itself is festooned with Anarchic and apathetic corruptable governments that pose a threat to our national soveignty.

Please be adviced that the cost to produce each Dolphin class submarine is $320 million. You have requested that the Büro des Kriegs [Office of Defense] pay 37.6% of the cost of production. Thus, the remaining $199,680,000 per submarine would be payed by Kopparsberg.

An Advisor close to Marshall Kung hao has said today in the Strait Times that the Warta Endorean Government wishes to resolve the conflict with Indochina via Diplomatic ways.

"We never intended to threaten Indochinese Security. As long as Indochina doesn't become openly hostile towards Warta Endor, they've nothing to fear from us."

But why did the Marshall use such Hard Words?

"The Indochinese Government reacted very hostile to our message that we would hold manoevres in the South Chinese Sea. Especially the arrogant tone of the message infuriated the Marshall. Once again, Warta Endor has never intended to violate Indochinese Waters. We stand on the brink of great endeavours, why create another enemy?

Civilians in the street hope that this conflict will be solved peacefully, but if necessary, they'd support their country. Only the Communist Party and the Maoist Workers Party of Warta Endor have announced that they'd oppose any aggresion against their Political brothers in Indochina.

South Africa concurs.... we mentioned before hand a compromise must be made in order for diplomacy to work.... (we dont necessarily mean dividing your land Indochina) However it is a sensitive area for Wartor Endor and they are righteous to be concerned about neighbouring states in their region. by the way Indochina what exactely is your political persuasion are you socialist or fully communist or neither?

If Some state emerges on our doorstep from the ruins of Africa we would initially be concerned about thier motives too.....

Iraq is not a defensive measure, it is a transition into a stable, peaceful area once again. The rampaging Vineyardians created a huge mess that we are cleaning up. As for Kuwait, we invaded to remove a regime that blatantly allowed weeks of repeated attacks to be staged against Sistani forces on a mission of peace from their territory.

Arabicia, however, staged an attack against its own people as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation. This is no different from the staged attack on the Gleiwitz radio transmitter that Germany used as a pretext to invade Poland on September 1st, 1939. We will not stand for this.

As for Kuwait, we invaded to remove a regime that blatantly allowed weeks of repeated attacks to be staged against Sistani forces on a mission of peace from their territory.

Arabicia, however, staged an attack against its own people as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation. This is no different from the staged attack on the Gleiwitz radio transmitter that Germany used as a pretext to invade Poland on September 1st, 1939. We will not stand for this.

-King Cyrus III
The Persian Empire of Sistan

Is your nation willing to back up a violent folk who seek only death and destruction upon innocents? Otherwise, continue to badger the People's Republic of Arabicia, because you are doing well to condone extremism. It is thus noted that your influence in the Arabian affairs has only been negative, having attacked Kuwait with little precourse. If your nation is truly interested in stability in the region, you will know your place in the affairs of Arabician affairs.

Not-so-secret IC:

The headline of today's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (translated into English): Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft receives government grant to research anti-anti-ballistic missile technology

The Kingdom of Kopparbergs says that The Persian Empire of Sistan has no right to condemn the necessary actions taken by Arabicia in the Yemen-issue. They're having more obvious reasons to obliterate the terrorists in Yemen than you had to, without reason, attack Kuwait.

With the above line of reasoning we hereby state that we want Sistan to leave Kuwait immediately. When that condition is met, Kopparbergs will convince Arabicia to leave Yemen.

If you don't begin the process of withdrawing your troops from the free land of Kuwait we will consider forcing you out of Kuwait.

Sharina releases the following statement.

"We have no opinion on matters regarding the Middle East.

We do, however, voice our support for our longstanding allies of Warta Endor."

Message from the Defense Ministery to Major Compagnies in Sharina, TG6R and of course SIBAT

The Armed Forces of Warta Endor will soon start a modernization program of it's Armed Forces. We will need new equipment, ranging from MBT's to Fighters. We will need the following:

-A new MBT to replace the AMX-13.
-A new Cavalry Scout and Armored Personnel Carrier to replace the Stormer APC currently in service.
-MLRS Systems, Heavy (155mm) Artillery and new 105mm Artillery
-Modern Air Defense Systems, both Mobile for use in the Field and Fixed for Home Defense.
-A Decent and Modern Fighter to Replace the Hawk Fighters and in a few years the F16A's and D's.
-Modern Transport helicopters to Replace the UH-1 Iroquois currently in service.
-Modern Submarine vessels both for coastal defense and to project Warta Endorean Power away from our shores.

More orders may follow later.

CSA News Report - Forces massing on neutral borders!

The Ministry of Defense has stated that 'preparations are underway for the final stage of the completion of the CSA' . Our reporters show that military units are massing on the borders of the neutral states, expecting a similar takeover of neutral states similar to that that took place in Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri earlier this week.

States predicted to be annexed by the CSA are:

Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia

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

Independence, Missouri...

General Mortimer's UH-1N helicopter touched down in the city's heliport. Although the state had only just been admitted to the Confederacy, Mortimer had new orders - it seemed Houston was looking to complete its plans for a new Confederacy with great haste. The 4 general staff disembarked off of the helicopter, followed by 8 special forces troops. Each of the troops of was clutching a 7.62mm M1A Springfield sniper rifle, as well as a Colt M1911 sidearm. Mortimer gave a salute to the waiting Commander of forces in the city before walking to the city HQ.

"Gentlemen, here are our orders." Mortimer was handed a dossier by an aide. "As you all well know, Sickles is eager to complete the confederacy by means of incorporating the remaining states into our nation." The various commanders around the room were eager to hear what Mortimer had to say. "And we, in this room, are the commanders responsible for the annexation of Kansas. To the north, Burnside awaits the order to advance with over 4,000 troops, to the south, Puttnam has over 5,000 troops at his disposal. Here in this city, 2,300 troops await orders - along with another 4,000 militia troops drawn from the former Missouri security forces. At Whiteman AFB, one squadron of F-16C fighters, and a flight of B-1B bombers are waiting to give us air support. 800 Paratroopers are standing by for insertion by C-130E over Topeka..."

"Excuse me, Air Support?" A Major in the Airborne cavalry butted in. "You can't seriously be expecting a fight that would justify the use of strategic bombers?"

"On the contrary, unlike Arkansas, Kentucky and Missouri here - Kansas is not a state that has been under the influence of the Confederacy for a great amount of time. In fact, intelligence is showing that various towns are preparing to defend themselves if neccessary - in Dodge city, barricades are being established - not that they will do anything to stop Puttnam's tanks."

"Very well, sir - but what is the strength of our tanks?"

"Burnside has 200 tanks for his push - behind his force, a second wave of 12,000 reservists waits, Puttnam has 370 tanks at his disposal, behind him, 10,000 members of the reserve corps wait. We are awaiting the order to proceed from Houston now..."

With military operations slowing down in the Sudan, Emir Jalal officially declares Sudan under a military occupation to help restore the government and civil services to the Sudanese people. He has appointed General Abd-Allah Aziz as governor pro tempore until elections can confirm a proper governor for Sudanese territories. His primary concern is to revitalize the economic activity in the region, to make the Sudan more prosperous than under the warlords who squander their people's lives on frivolous projects.

If there is to be any cooperation in the Middle East, it shall come from Sistan, who has made remarks that were unconciliatory and aggressive. It condemns Arabicia's right to defend itself while making all attempts to crush its own Vineyardian resistance in Iraq and Kuwait. We have been more or less supportive of these measures, but if Sistan cannot reciprocate the said actions, they will then need to learn how to endow proper respect of national sovereignty.

We encourage other nations with a vested intererst in the Middle East to offer mediation in this situation here, since we doubt Sistan has any interest to wage war with Arabicia, and likewise the same for Arabicia. We doubt furthermore that it would be in the interest of the world to allow hostilities to rise in the Middle East, since it would beenfit nothing internationally if a war is waged in the crossroads of the world.

The Sharina Technocracy quietly informs the "New CSA" that things will remain well if the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illionis are not attacked or interfered with by the CSA, as Sharina has considerable interests in these four states.

The Emirate of Alif Laam Miim has drafted plans to improve port facilities in Mersa Matruh and Port Said, to expand the naval presence available at those two facilities, and furthermore to lay the groundwork for future military docks for ship construction. This project is expected to last at least 5 years and will cost approximately $1bil to improve each facility [hence $2bil coming out of my pocket already].

The death of the Emir Ali bin Salman Al Khalifa in Bahrain has elicited mourning on the island nation. Though he left no children for heirs, in his last will and testament, he declared that his second cousin - Jalal ibn Mahmud Al Misri - shall inherit the Emirate of Bahrain. Though not especially close to the late Emir, Jalal has instituted a three-day period of mourning for Al Khalifa family and has likewise offered them to stay in residence in the Royal Palace Al Qahirah or the Royal House in Al Iskandariyah.

The government of Bahrain has been permitted to arrange for the inheritance ceremonies three days from now as the Emir Jalal prepares to visit Manama and accept the claim.

Warta Endor and it's people offer their condoleances to the leaders and people of Bahrein. We are sure that under the protection of Alif Laam Miim the nation will thrive.

The Manoevres of the Armed Forces of Warta Endor have begun today. To avoid any incidents with Indochinese Forces, a Border (http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3387/indochinaboundarytk8.gif) has been drawn which may not be crossed. Trespassers will be punished.

Manoevres-Day One-0430 hours

Onboard the Landingship Flores Marines of A Compagny, 3rd. Battalion, 2nd. Infantry Division, I Corps nervously shifted their packs as they waited to board the Landing Craft. They were still 10 miles from land, so a trip would take at least an hour. During the trip of the First Wave, the other vessels of the First Fleet would open fire upon the "defenses" of Red Force. For many it would be the first ecperience with "the real thing". Although this was only an excercise, Live Ammunition would be used. A few send a last few words to some divine being up above, while others stared in the distance...

Sgt. Roy wasn't one of them. A though old soldier who first saw combat on Sakhalin against Vineyard, and then saw the beaches of Oman, Thailand and many a Pacific Island. He had fought in South America, in the thick Jungle of Indochina, Burma and India. he laughed as he saw the tense movements of the younger marines. he turned to a young Private who was simply shaking

"Cheer up son! This isn't even real combat!"
"Buttt...I-I-It's going to be dangerous! Li-i-i-ive Ammo sir!"
"Heh, but we will fire on targets, not on real enemies. The Army out there won't fire a real shot at us, and we won't fire a shot at them. heh, they'll probably run away when they see us! *laughs, everyone joins in*
Ship's Intercom:"First wave over the top! Good luck men!"
"Well, this is it men! You are Marines! Be Proud! be Dangerous! HURRAH!"

As everyone cheered the First Wave boarded the landing craft. Minutes later they were on the open see, with the rising sun in their backs. Suddenly the Corvettes and Frigates started to fire on the "targets" on land. Several hawk Planes lead by a F16D flew over to bombard the "enemy". Time past slowly as the coast neared.

"Two Minutes!"
"Ok men! You know what to do when we hit the beaches! get the hell outta this can and run for cover! Open fire upon any Hostile you see! And this time, I don't mean the crappy soldiers, leave that for your R&R! *everybody laughs* Fire on the targets which which will pop up. Try to coordinate your actions, I'll be close. once the beach is cleared we move inland to secure a larger area! Come one men! We're Marines! HURRAH!"

the Landingcraft hit the beaches and A Compagny ran out of the boats. They fired on targets as Mortars were set up and a few duds were fired. Soon, every target had been blasted to pieces and the men moved a few hundred metres inland to secure an area large enough for artillery support and tanks.

The Emirate is interested in purchasing a limited set of 100 main assault rifles, 100 pistol sidearms, and 100 squad machine guns in an effort to improve the modern aspects of the Army. Our previous weaponry of AK-47s will still be in service until we cacn find a suitable replacement.

Warta Endor offers 125 G36 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G36) Assualt Rifles for testing to Alif Laam Miim. Because we recently started production after the acquiring of the production rights, it may take several weeks to produce the desired amount next to the Rifles we need for domestic use.

Dear allied neighbor,

We can offer a large range of the weapons in question, we have picked out the best for you (this is the weapons we use in our army/marine):

ASSAULT RIFLES:
T.A.R-21 Tavor Assault Rifle 5.56 mm (our newest rifle)

PISTOLS

The Emirate opens a new cooperative venture to model a new APC vehicle, best suited for desert and urban warfare. We provide the basic specs below:

max velocity: 120kmph
-cruise: 75kmph
armor: enough to stop most conventional weapons and RPG blasts
capacity: 30 soldiers [1 squad] or 15 casualties comfortably
armaments: large caliber machine gun mount and access ports for protected interior fire
cost of manufacture: cheap to moderate [we are willing to make it high priced for the safety and stability of the vehicle, but nothing more]

We have conquered Bosnia.

It seems that the middle east has become more unruly since your nation has withdrawn from Iraq. Though Iraq and Kuwait have been pacified, the countless petty warlords of the area are fast on the move. They have invaded Sudan, Niger, and Nigeria. Others are threatening Bahrain and Yemen. If order is going to be restored to the middle east and Africa, I feel that we must ally and stand as a united front against the forces of chaos.

We are giving notice that the President will be attending this momentous occasion in person.

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

CSA Newsflash! - Armed forces cross over the border!

Confederate military forces today crossed the border into the following states, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, in a massive armoured push that is set to see the Confederacy completed once again.

"Now that our nation is fully restored, we can look to taking a greater role in world politics" - these were the words of President Sickles at the outbreak of the operation.

Grand-Technocrat Mina Veristek of the Sharinan Technocracy announces that she will personally attend the ceremonies in the Emirate of Alif Laam Miim.

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

In other news...

Several pro-Sharinan rallies are being held throughout villages, towns, and even cities throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illionis. The atmosphere is one of apprehension given that the CSA is apparently rising from the ashes of Norleans, and opinions vary throughout the four former US states.

In Minnesota, the people are more pro-Sharinan, given that they have watched Sharinan prosperity across not one, but two borders, the north and the west borders. The opinion of the Minnesotans is that joining Sharina enjoy the stability that comes with it is a viable course of action, considering that the Minnesotan economy and protection would not be guanatreed on its own. Besides, the Minnesotans share a lot of cultural and ethnic similiarities with Sharinan-controlled Dakotas, and Canada.

In Wisconsin, the mood is somewhat more subdued than Minnesota, owing to the fact that it doesn't border Sharina, and borders a strangely resurgent nation in Michigan. However, the opinion of the Wisconinians are that the new Michigan nation will be unable to provide as much security and prosperity as Sharina or the CSA. Opinion is beginning to shift more into Sharina's favor, as propganda and rallies continue.

In Iowa, the people are substantially pro-Sharinan as the farmers and food production industries in Iowa stand to gain enormous profits and prosperity by becoming a significant portion of Sharina's food industry and production capacity. The idea of joining the CSA is somewhat lower than in Wisconsin, as the Iowans knew their profits and industry wouldn't prosper as much in the CSA, given that the CSA controls a surplus of farmland and food production.

In Illionis, the competing views clash the most out of the four states. The dairy and grain farmers of Illionis are gravitating towards Sharinan membership for the same reasons as the Iowa people. In the lakeside communities, called "Lakeside'ers" feel uneasy because they wonder what kind of action a resurgent Michigcan could do if Michigan becomes aggressive, as Michigan ended up with the majority of the Great Lakes Coastal Patrol. The people in Chicago and its suburbs still desire to remain neutral, as they believe that Chicago alone can dictate the future of the northern half of the Mid-West as it is a major trade and transportation hub as well as having a population greater than the entire population of several Mid-West states. Yet another group, mostlu in the south and far eastern areas of Illionis are gravitating towards pro-CSA stances. Clashes are frequent between pro-CSA, pro-neutrality, and the occasional pro-Sharinan sympathizers in these areas.

The future of these states is yet uncertain, but a clearer picture continues to be formed as the weeks go by.

In other news, the Qattara Project has begun its construction today, with noted assistance coming from the foreign contractor West and Burke [Arabicia]. The project will take approximately three years to finish Phase 1 - which will begin the construction of the three water channels that will funnel water from the Mediterranean to the Qattara Depression, under a controlled flow that will not fill the Depression past the sub-50 meter level. We advise commercial vessels to be aware for any strong currents in the area while the construction is going on. We would hate to suck a large tanker into the Qattara Depression, so until we craft barriers, the region east of Mersa Matruh will be a noted whirlpool zone.

Phase 2 will begin construction of power turbines and generators from two of the water channels - the third channel will be reserved for pumping purposes, to maintain the water level at a consistant level. This phase is expected to last at least 4 years. Phase 3 will include the construction of a secondary pump to funnel water into a high-altitude reservoir, which will form the final aspect of the Qattara Project and produce the needed 2085 MWMW estimated yield from this project. This phase is only expected to last two years, but upon completion of Phase 1, the Qattara Project last about 7 seven years in all.

We will keep the world updated on this Project as it comes to us.

We will send President Liễu Văn Sơn to represent the DPRI at the ceremony.

Proum Sokha, DPRI Foreign Minister

We will be glad to establish an embassy at Hà Nội. Where would you like to establish your own embassy?

Public Announcement
In response to continued aggression towards Yemen, the Strait of Hormuz and Bab El Mandeb are closed to the nations of the so called 'Red Sea Alliance'. All Red Sea ships attempting to traverse the straits will be destroyed without warning. This is the only warning we will give.

Warta Endor strongly suggests that International Shipping is left alone. We do not wholly approve of this measure, but since we can't do anything about it, we will approve.

Al-Iskandariyah. The Emirate will be given a section of the second floor of the Revolutionary Unity building in Hà Nội for its embassy.

We cannot accept such a movement from your nation. You have nothing to do with Bab El Mandeb as your nation is located on the other side of Saudi Arabia.

We have three naval vessels on their way out from the Red Sea, together with one or more submarines. They will go out in the Gulf of Aden. If your ships open fire against The Royal Navy of Kopparbergs we will consider that as an act of war and you have to take the consequences of that.

The Manoevres of the Armed Forces of Warta Endor have begun today. To avoid any incidents with Indochinese Forces, a Border (http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3387/indochinaboundarytk8.gif) has been drawn which may not be crossed. Trespassers will be punished.

Manoevres-Day One-0430 hours

Onboard the Landingship Flores Marines of A Compagny, 3rd. Battalion, 2nd. Infantry Division, I Corps nervously shifted their packs as they waited to board the Landing Craft. They were still 10 miles from land, so a trip would take at least an hour. During the trip of the First Wave, the other vessels of the First Fleet would open fire upon the "defenses" of Red Force. For many it would be the first ecperience with "the real thing". Although this was only an excercise, Live Ammunition would be used. A few send a last few words to some divine being up above, while others stared in the distance...

Sgt. Roy wasn't one of them. A though old soldier who first saw combat on Sakhalin against Vineyard, and then saw the beaches of Oman, Thailand and many a Pacific Island. He had fought in South America, in the thick Jungle of Indochina, Burma and India. he laughed as he saw the tense movements of the younger marines. he turned to a young Private who was simply shaking

"Cheer up son! This isn't even real combat!"
"Buttt...I-I-It's going to be dangerous! Li-i-i-ive Ammo sir!"
"Heh, but we will fire on targets, not on real enemies. The Army out there won't fire a real shot at us, and we won't fire a shot at them. heh, they'll probably run away when they see us! *laughs, everyone joins in*
Ship's Intercom:"First wave over the top! Good luck men!"
"Well, this is it men! You are Marines! Be Proud! be Dangerous! HURRAH!"

As everyone cheered the First Wave boarded the landing craft. Minutes later they were on the open see, with the rising sun in their backs. Suddenly the Corvettes and Frigates started to fire on the "targets" on land. Several hawk Planes lead by a F16D flew over to bombard the "enemy". Time past slowly as the coast neared.

"Two Minutes!"
"Ok men! You know what to do when we hit the beaches! get the hell outta this can and run for cover! Open fire upon any Hostile you see! And this time, I don't mean the crappy soldiers, leave that for your R&R! *everybody laughs* Fire on the targets which which will pop up. Try to coordinate your actions, I'll be close. once the beach is cleared we move inland to secure a larger area! Come one men! We're Marines! HURRAH!"

the Landingcraft hit the beaches and A Compagny ran out of the boats. They fired on targets as Mortars were set up and a few duds were fired. Soon, every target had been blasted to pieces and the men moved a few hundred metres inland to secure an area large enough for artillery support and tanks.

Manoevres-Day Four-1947 hours

The first two days had been exhausting for A Compagny. After the landing they had proceeded inland were they met the first "real" resistance. After a 30 minute fight they retreated and waited for Armored Support. With the support from a Troop they managed to break thorugh. The next two days were full of skirmishing and marching. Now they were in the thick of the jungle of Mlayasia and they advanced slowly. Suddenly several Mortar Rounds fell in their middle ("killing" ten Marines immediately).

crackle....kaBOOOOOOOM!!!

"Spread out! Hoy!"
"Yes sir!"
"Radio for air support! And tell them to hurry!"
"Aye sir! This is Tango Red 106, requesting Air Support, coordinates 123-8567-73HJ"
*crackle*
"Tang Red 106, this is Gangleader, Air Support is underway, ETA 2 minutes!"
"Roger gangleader, out!"

The Marines continued to fire at the targets untill three Hawk 209 flew over and dropped several bombs on a position 300 meters in front of them. The Compagny slowly moved forward untill all was clear. After another hour, they made a camp at a clearing. One more day and the Manoevres would be over.

Top Secret Emergency Message to the Kingdom of Kopparbergs
The Kingdom of Kopparbergs,

We urge your nation to immediately cease your naval action through the Gulf of Aden. I know from years of military experience that these guys mean business; they are not bluffing. You nation must be prepared to face the consequences of having your naval forces come under fire if you continue, as I trust your nation already knew could happen.

Please take this advisory into consideration, whether you continue or not.

News reports from one of the Emirate's beloved tankers passing through the Gulf of Aden who sunk 50 km off the coast of the Yemeni coastline as it was returning to port in Suez. The culprit was a submersible vessel that failed to identify itself; the Emirate has launched an investigation of the matter, but notes that the likely suspect is a Sistani submersible. The vessel gave no indication of its colors, and attacked without warning. Of the vessel crew, approximately 500 died, while the surviving 1000 managed to secure rides back to safe territory in Port Sudan. All reports are consistant with a surprised and unwarranted torpedo attack on the tanker. Fortunately, the tanker was empty and not carrying large amounts of oil, and a clean-up in the area is not expected to cost too much.

The Prime Minister issued a statement of outrage, demanding that the Sistani navy report the status of its submersible vessels in the area. Furthermore, he demanded that the Sistani navy quit the Gulf of Aden, since it is not their sovereign territory and does not form part of any legitimate maritime claims. He also has commissioned several survey vessels into the area to determine the sink site and the cause of damage. The ALM navy has been mobilized furthermore in lieu of this attack, to prepare to defend ALM merchant shipping. News has not reached the Emir, who is attending coronation services in Bahrain, but it is likely that the attack will be made known to him before the ceremony commences.

ALM was warned. The 'tanker' captain took his life into his own hands when he violated the order. Furthermore, the 'tanker' was not a tanker at all. Tankers are almost never sailed empty, and have tiny crews. The world's largest supertanker, Knock Nevis, has a crew of forty. Thus, the 'tanker' was not a tanker, but a troop transport hiding behind the guise of a civilian vessel. The Persian Empire urges the rest of the world's nations to use this incident as a warning against allowing ALM ships into their ports. We have intercepted this trojan troop transport, but there may be more. Perhaps one day it will be your port city invaded by ALM troops.

To address this, it is quite common for ALM citizens to return home on empty tankers after unloading their shipment of oil and supplies abroad. The Persian Empire of Sistan truly insists on making this incident "excusable." Furthermore, by stating this, they admit to the sinking of one of our vessels. Besides that, all of our troops are quite safe at home, not abroad civilian vessels, ready to pounce on "unsuspecting" ports and cities. We are ultimately reviled at this accusation and the Sistani indignance at trying to excuse a blatant and utter atrocity in peaceful waters, turned into a war zone by the naval forces of Sistan.

This is exactly why Red Sea Alliance ships are not allowed to traverse the waterways. Not only have these untrustworthy scoundrels assassinated the leader of Bahrain and instated a puppet on the throne, staged a bombing in their own territory as an excuse to invade Yemen, and invaded several other sovereign nations, but now they use civilian ships as unmarked military transports to aid their imperialistic ambitions within Yemenese territory only to claim that the 'crew', already inflated beyond industry standards by several orders of magnitude, was instead made up of tourists hitching a free ride home. I find it interesting that first the casualties were the ship's crew, and yet are suddenly ALM nationals on a trip home. How, may I ask, are fifteen hundred people supposed to find room and board on a ship designed for a crew of less than thirty?

The Persian Empire of Sistan

Is the Persian Empire of Sistan trying provoke action? Because they are revealing their indignance by maintaining their "just cause" for the sinking of a civilian vessel. Furthermore, they resist accepting the national sovereignty of Arabicia, to respond and defend its nation from extremists abroad. We are very certain that your nation wouldn't hesitate to react in the same manner as would Arabicia in the same circumstance - the only difference is that it is not your nation.

Furthermore, we are disgusted that you would our citizens and our crew "tourists hitching a free ride home." There is plenty of room on a vessel of such a size to fit 1500 people on a short ride home, unless you've never visited an empty tanker. Furthermore, it would be hard for your navy to sink our transports when they are safely docked and all accounted in their places. Our only loss is this one tanker that you sunk without regard to life or peace. We maintain that the ship transported crew and nationals working in foreign countries for our oil industry, and if you need evidence, it is on the ship. And just for your information, our navy is going to raise that vessel to uncover what kind of damage was inflicted by your own vessels. We will secure that vessel and its downed site, and your forces will not intervene at all. Otherwise, consider a war with you imminent upon such attacks.
