OOC - First time ever actually role-playing a real event -- so cut me some slack =/.

Hope I do well ^_^.

By the way, this rebel is known to the World, it isn't SIC or anything.

IC -

The Secret State of Zanasa goes far back. Comparing to corrupt dictatorships, stamping out human rights and considering the people to be resources, Zanasa can be named as a hell-hole to many, to others, it is a haven of dictatorial rule.

Starving masses and workers continue to live, while the military continues to live lavishly when not in War. Instigating the people to join the military and fight for the country has proven worth by keeping the citizens distant from the basic necessities of humans.

For many years now, Zanasa was proved an intimidating threat. Managing its economy to serve the needs of its military and create a strong power, it seemed unlikely that Zanasa could ever fall -- to any nation -- big or small.

On August 12th, however, Zanasian Guards patrolling started to unceasingly fire at workers in a Mining Factory for not putting in the work needed. On all economic figures, each worker had to keep working until they're hands were easily cut by paper -- this went on each day. However, one of the Mining Factories -- Irostee Co., had a plant in Eastern Zanasa where the workers weren't "working as hard," atleast explained by the Head Guard. Apparently, when the daily "cutting" came around, the guards hadn't been able to cut through the hands of the Mine workers easily. After increasing anger when the workers complained that maybe they were just used to working hard like this, the guards had started to massacre every civilian working in that Factory.

After that mine incident, Zanasa FM propagated that the workers revolted and were about to "kill the merciful guards. The guards, being our loyal citizens to the Country, had to kill the infidels."

Everyone knew this was a lie.

Following the incident, another occured in the Arms Manufacturing Industry when accidently ammunition exploded, leveling 1/4 of the factory. The claimed employee, who was managing the ammunition at that time, survived but without an arm, a left eye, and a foot. While in the hospital, Zanasian Police breached the hospital and shot him in his wounded state.

After this action, people began to rise in revolt. People began to realize how they were starving, working hard, and yet on top of that, were being abused as hell.

Fighting broke out in the Capital -- Zansin, between civilian and the police, eventually, bloodshed toppled up as civilians kept revolting. Similar revolts took place in every other metropolitian area -- including three cities and one port town.

Rebels, now branded by the Government as the "Red Infidels" took over a radio station and broadcasted their propaganda messages to fight for democracy and freedom -- a dream that seemed impossible only a few days earlier.

On August 20th, civilians raided into and Arms Factory used that as a logistical place for arming the public. This became a threat to Government. Arms vs. Arms, Civilians vs. Guards, Freedom vs. Oppression.

"How is the revolting going?" asked the Premier -- the head of the Country to his Council of Ministers.

"Well, Master Comrade, the situation isn't so good. Civilians have risen all over the country, and the war exactly isn't going in our favour. It's a stalemate -- but after the raids into the Arms Factory, the Civilians now have a 3:1 advantage with equal weapons even with training or not," spoke up the Minister of Internal Affairs.

"What about our radio systems? Why aren't we using them against the revolts?" asked the Premier, being surprisingly calm.

"Two of our sixty radio stations have been taken, the other 58 are functioning under full-production to counter the propaganda by the Red Infidels, but we aren't fighting for freedom, when the common civilian hears the word, "Freedom," it is like heaven. On top of that, with a promise of freedom under the Red Infidels, our propaganda is just a waste," replied the Minister.

"Take the army and start massacring every civilian on the street. Meanwhile, you, Minister Radmond, initiate a curfew of 5 PM. Any worker who works after 5 PM will stay in the industry and eat, sleep, and use restroom facilities there. Meeting dismissed," concluded the Premier.

There was an instigator in the Council of Ministers who provided the Red Infidels on the knowledge of future Governmental Acitivities.

A base located West of Zansin

"What information have we gathered?" quickly spoke a man

"Well, we were notified that the military will be sweeping in soon to crush our plans once in for all," spoke another man in an excited, yet anxious tone.

"We know where they will hit though," continued the man.

"Where?" asked his counter-part.

"Well, right now, we use the Zanasian Arms Factory for supplying our guerilla activities, they are bound to strike there first," answered the man.

"Take all the ammunitions and weaponary out of all the Arms Factories we have captured and store them in each of our bases," strategized the first man.

In Zansin

"Fire!" shouted a Civilian Leader of the Rebels.

A loud explosion was heard. An artillery vehicle was shot at Police positions in the Capital.

"Grenade Brigade! Now!" called the same leader from a radio. Immediately following afterwards, grenades were lodged from the rooftops of buildings at the Police.

Meanwhile, half an our later, tanks rolled into the Capital. Clearly the winner was now chosen.

"Disperse! Disperse! Tanks are here! Disperse! Come back later and seize the tanks!" shouted the rebel leader. His voice being lost behind the tank explosions that were also absorbed by the radio he spoke through.

The guerilla's seperated. From above, air raids were now leveling buildings.

Council of Ministers

"Premier Khan, are you sure you are willing to obliterate our Glorious Capital to destroy those rebels?"

"Yes, I confidently am," coolly replied the Premier, smoking his cigar.

Halgolth watched this inciodent over the news. The Zanasa government was a corrupt dictatorship, forcing their citizens past their limit. They were ruthless and used their military in almost every task. To Halgolth, they were weak. He knew that their military would be pushed too far, as well, and then they would start getting deserters and worse, traitors. Of course, Zanasa would group them both in the same way...

But the rebels were worth something. Human revolutionaries trying to gain control over their lives. They didn;t want to be dictated anymore and tehy were mad as hell. They had much more spirit and will to fight their government. They were strong, but they would lose too many of their peopel and ideological differences would probably send the nation into anarchy and constant civil war before becoming a corrupt dictatorship again.

To Halgolth, Zanasa was perfect for business.
((Mind if I get involved?))

Skgorria City, Skgorria

The Leader paused thoughtfully during his pacing around the spacious officer before turning to his Air Force attache

"Order 8th Air Army to prepare a list of targets against these rebels, and then have them attack them with ultimate force. No Bolsheviks shall stand in our way!" ranted the Leader, shaking his fist at an imaginary foe.

"Yes sir!" snapped the attache, and then left the office to issue orders...

8th Air Army HQ, Skgorria

The scene in the underground command centre was one of utter pandemonium. Technicians and specialists were pouring over maps and screens, trying to find vital information. In the middle of it all sat a proud Air Force Marshall, his uniform immaculate.

"Sir!" yelled a junior officer as he rushed towards the Marshall, "the first listing has come in!" He handed the Marshall a piece of paper with a short list on it, and the whole command centre fell quiet. After a few minutes of close reading, the Marshall lifted his head.

"The first targets have been identified - bomber crews to aircraft." He ordered, breaching the vast silence. "Today we strike a blow against the foul Bolsheviks!" he yelled, and the centre broke into applause and salutes as flight controllers.

OOC: I'm a bit overrstretched on the logistics front for troops, but a few large-scale bombing raids I can do. If you want to give me a list of targets then that's cool
