The Marching of Jackboots [MT, Open]
Federated Prussia

Fatherland City, Federated Prussia, August 11th, 2014
Chilly, Chilly was the only way to describe the weather in Fatherland City. It's population of 613,551 were mostly all huddled in their houses. The homeless, failures in the society, burnt newspapers just to stay warm. One's who tried to find a warmer spot in public buildings were soon beaten and taken away by The Protectors, known in most nation-states simply as the police. As always, Big Brother was watching, it's ever present eyes and hears observing every citizen's move. Big Brother knew everything and anything. It knows you, your family. Big Brothers knows who you sleep with, what you have for lunch, what the gossip is, and most importantly, what you're saying about it
People who broke the law were soon visited by men in black uniforms with jackboots. Instead of living under the Iron Fist, you were living under the heel of a jackboot. The citizens themselves actually had many freedoms. They could whatever they wanted as long as it didn't interfere with the government. All of this was for their safety, and the Citizens of Federated Prussia accepted this. " Obey, For Your Everlasting Protection"
And of this was faithfully watched over by "The Network"
The Citizens had abolished the system of a president and a congress. All that remained was " The Network" or commonly referred to as " The System" or " The Leaders." The people had divided the power of the nation into four men's capable hands. Each roughly owned one fourth of the total landmass. One had the agriculture, one the Industry, one the Fortifications, and one the trade routes. It was a good counter-balance system. It had worked for many years. But, like in all nation's one man wanted more. For Federated Prussia, this man was General Ivo Günter.
Ivo was a great hero to the Prussian people, having led them in the war for Independence, and the wars thereafter, he was known for his military and political prowess. He was also known for his extreme political ideas. The longer these ideas were left unchecked, the larger they grew. He wrote his first book: Ideals in 2010. His outline for the success of the nation:
- Federated Prussia should pursue a nuclear weapons program
- The abolishment of " The Network" and the establishment of the " Great Leader"
- The "Expansion" of our borders to secure " Living Space" and " Raw Materials"
- The Conscription of every available male into the Armed Forces.
And the Scariest proposal of all:
- The Execution of all " Enemies of The State"
In a Secret document obtained by the spies of Marz Rusent, Ivo has apparently used Big Brother to locate 900,000 person for execution and an additional 200,000 for expulsion. While The Network tried to counter him, he controlled the most elite division in the entire Army, the 13. ISF Mechanized Division. On August eleventh he siezed power and announced himself " Great Leader" of Federated Prussia. In the first month of power, 100,000 people were rounded up and sent to labor camps, firing squads, or expelled.
A Group simply calling itself " The Resistance" has called for an international intervention. The package calls for peace keepers, relief goods, and most shockingly pictures and video if mass graves.
God Help Federated Prussia.

"sir you might want to have a look at this" Major Rain said in a firm voice to General Kree as they walked down the corridor. He Handed Kree a Green folder marked "top Secret", Kree opened it up and started to read.
"where the hell did we get this?" Kree replyed, the colour in his face seemed slightly drained. They carryed on walking, though a set of dubble doors and then into Kree's office.
"One of our units in North Trikistan (Tri-Kistan) picked it up after a clash with rebels, it was sent directly to us along with the tapes." Rain said as he sat down.
"TAPES?" Kree shouted, "what the hell is going on, do we have any offical ties with Federated Prussia?"
"no we have a feeling tho we're the only ones who got this but thats unconfirmed since no one elce seemed to be stiring any trubble."
"get me the Cabint and the PM, shit." Kree didnt look happy about this, "make sure the Emperor is informed also."
ConFed Intel Devision. Imperial War Center. 16:52 SCT
"we cant just sit on this, Parlament must be informed and so much the public" PM Sasha snaped after watching the tapes, she looked shocked at the images she saw.
"if we're draged into another peacekeeping mission or worse a war then what? The most we could spare would be the 3 maby 4 regiments." General Adams said from across the table.
"and the airforce is no better, we have no air bases in that region, the Engineers would take atlest a month to deploy a battle field airbase. hell if we went in we would have to take the Airports, but with out control of the skies our ground forces would be left open to attack. Nothing we could do would work." Sky Marshal Lister said.
"there is one thing we could do Prime Minister" Kree replyed looking around. "the public will demand we go in if this infomation was released but we cant do that, plus international relations might be harmed. What if we...fueled this into a civil war. Supply this group "The Resistance" with weapons and training, send in Special Forces to support them. After a month of two of fighting we send in troops to "stop the fighting" and liberate the people of Federated Prussia."
"that doesnt solve the problem of the public" Sasha replyed.
"we relase some of the infomation, we say we have evidance that this General Ivo Günter is abuseing human rights. We impose sanctions on them and demand that they allow of small force of say 3,000 to investergate. We then add that if they do not stronger action will be inforced, starting with blockaids of ports, we start to gear up for a war and get 2 Regiments from the army ready for deployment along with a Battlion of Marines. At the same time we have a Battlion of Special forces ready to be deplyed, we send out a message to this group to contact us, bring them to the table." Kree said looking around the room.
"it could work" General Adams replyed.
For the next hour the debated and argued but agreed, things couldnt be left alone like this.
on the 16th September the Prime Minister informed parlament and parlament agreed 126/14 on sanctions. The Prime minister then made a public statment, as expected the people were in up roar but the idea seemed to work as they accepted what they were told. News stations across the Confederacy wanted to send people to Federated Prussia, they also aired over and over the Condemnation from the Prime minister and the demands.
At the same time the ConFed Intel Devision attempted to contact the group that sent out the news.

"Well, our goverment has asked us to sell you weapons. Since we dont give weapons away for free... we'll give you a discount instead. Here is a taste of what we have to offer:
MBT-66: The mainstay of Red Tidean armored forces, the MBT-66 is an average all round tank that is perfect for a standard Main Battle Tank of an army. Armed with a 122mm Electro-Thermal Chemical Main Gun producing a decent muzzle energy of 23 MegaJoules(in comparison, the M1A2 Abrams gun releases 7 MJ). It is capable of firing High Explosive Anti-Tank(HEAT), Armored Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding SABOT(APFSDS), and High Explosive Fragmentation(HE-FRAG) Rounds. The reason for the odd choice of caliber was logistical more then anything else, Red Tidean medium artillery also primarily consists of 122mm towed and self-proppelled guns. It also has a built in 6.8mm machine gun and a mounted 15.5mm heavy machine gun.
The tanks armor consists of 500mm of 3rd generation Chobham Armor at its thickest point, with a average slop of 85 degrees. The latest version is equipped with REA-20 Reactive Armor to provide better protection against HEAT shells and warheads, and it is fitted with a ARENA-2 Anti-Missile/Rocket System to defend against Anti-Tank Missiles and Rockets. The tanks auto-loader is designed and positioned such that it is much faster and safer then any hand loader. This reduces the tank crew to three(gunner, driver, commander). The tanks fire control, sensors, and targetting equipment are up-to-date with standard modern designs.
The discounted cost is 6.6 million Dollars(a one million dollar reduction). But we have a bonus offer. If you allow us to establish mining facilities and steel mills in your nation, we will upgrade any MBT-66s you purchase from us to the latest version ABSOLUTELY FREE!
APC-45:The APC-45 is Red Tides standard Armored Personnel Carrier. Armed with twin 30mm auto-cannons capable of targetting both surface and aerial targets, the APC-45 is a good weapon for carrying troops into battle AND providing aerial protection. The APC-45 comes in four variants. The APC-45A, which is the standard transport. The APC-45B, which is the recon variant. The APC-45C, the command variant. And the AAPC-45, the amphibious variant.
The APC-45A has an ATGM-4 Top Attack Laser Guided Anti-Tank Missile Launcher, plus the capability to hold 10 passengers in addition to its crew of two(gunner and driver). The APC-45B has a reduced transport capacity of five passengers and no ATGM launcher, but carries extra sensors and communication equipment, a very good choice for a recon screen.
The APC-45C is a good choice for carrying Platoon, Company, and other smaller unit(IE: Below 300 men) commanders. The C version retains the ATGM launcher, but completely radically reduces passenger space to 3, this gives space for a commander to properly overview his troops. The AAPC-45 is no different from the A variant, except its amphibious. All variants have the same measure of protection, 200mm of 3rd generation Chobham armor with a 60 degree slope, plus a light amount of REA-20 Reactive Armor. It is also equipped with the ARENA-2 Anti-Missile/Rocket System.
Our discount price is 3.5 million dollars, that is a .7 million dollar reduction. Our bonus upgrade offer extends to this vehicle too.
If you wish to enquire into more weapons, pleace send us a message(OOC: IE, use the telegrams) enquiring into exactly what you want. We thank you in advance for any buisness you choose to conduct with us."

"Genocide? Really? How many? Lord! Prepare several divisons General. Yes I'll talk to you later." Prime Minister Lester Geddie hung up the phone, and walked over to the fax machine, where the General Gordan Brigman had fax information on this Genocide and the country. "Wow this is something."
Lester sat back down behind his desk and pulled out a piece of paper and started a letter.
To Federated Prussia
We hear of this news from your country and the plees of these 'rebals' to send peacekeepers, but we have a grasp on the principles of peacekeeping and this situation does not call for peacekeeping, but rather peacemaking forces. To the people of the Federated Prussia, we will attempt to save what lives you have left.
Signed
Prime Minister
Lester Geddie
The letter would be printed up then photocopied several million times, then stuffed in to a civilian airliner, and fly over the catital city, opening the doors, the letters would be pushed out into the streets. Also two other planes would be making the same sort of flight over many other cities. Also a single letter was mailed to the Federated Prussia government.

The Great Leader was somewhat puzzled by this latest message. It offered him firearms and weapons. Very powerful weapons. However, Federated Prussia could not afford these new weapons. It's two billion dollar defense limit was stretched to the brink. However, The Great Leader jumped at the opprunity for trade agreements.
From: The Great Leader
To: Red Tide
We are strongly interested in gaining these new trade agreements. We are very interested in acquiring these. We will also be willing to pay a large some for the successful acquisition's of nuclear weapons or a reactor.
OCC: Revena, how are you planning to contact them? Their is a high chance that Big Brother will catch any Electronic messages. There is also a high chance that it will notice your agents. The Resistance actually communicates by a Church, one of the only things not regulated by Big Brother, and messages.

OOC: wheres there is a will there is a way, i was just hopeing that the resistance would have some form of communication to the outside world be it though an NPC nation or even by complete chance a member of the Resistance just happened to be in a slezzy bar in some part of the Confederacy and knew a CFI agent. I was really just leaving it open for you to decide, the normal way te CFI would contact people they hadnt contacted befor would to inform other groups that may have had some contact, even people who once went to your nation or people who lived there. Anything really. Or maby they dont contact the Resistance and plan B has to be used, CFI Black Op. Introduceing Terror cells, tho with your nations Big Brother it would make it alot harder (since my nation has no idea about the Big Brother Program...your a new nation to them...Intel on ya is...limited).

"We are glad you accepted our exchange of embassies and trade proposal.
As for building nuclear powerplants... you'll have to defer to the Tech-Com Corporation on that one. However, nuclear weapons are another matter. We can supply technical advisors, nuclear scientists, and blueprints to help you build a hydrogen-nuclear device of 700 kilitons capable of being fitted on a ballistic missile and a smaller, 5 kiliton atomic device for use on the battlefield. We are also willing to supply the nessecary parts, engineers, blueprints, and facilities capable of manufacturing your own ballistic missiles. All for free."

Well, you dont want our conventional equipment? We understand you might not be able to afford it at this time. We'll leave the offers open to you for the future.
Anywho, we understand you want nuclear powerplants. We offer our NuBR-4-20 Fast Breeder Reactor. Based off of a Russian design, it is capable of supplying 2,000 MegaWatts(MWe) and producing up too 100 kilograms of Plutonium-239 a day. Which can be put back into the reactor as fuel or used for a nuclear bomb. The amount of nuclear material needed for a bomb varies depending on the design.
Each reactor costs 400 million dollars, excluding the cost of training needed personnel."

We accept this proposal and wish to purchase two nuclear reactors. One will be regular one and will be built underground, able to withstand Air Strikes.
Finally we would like to take you up on your offer of the 700 kiloton nuclear devices. These will be no doubt critical to our glorious nation's defense.

"sir contact has been made, A Lt Commander Wilson of the 18th SAS Regiment recived an email, we belive its from this Resistance group." Rains reported to Kree.

"they still not responded to our demands?" Sasha asked Kree.
"no mam, we've recived a location to meet with the Group but as of yet our only means to get someone into the nation would be with the blockaid." Kree replyed "and Admiral Printok can tell you more of that."
"well admiral?" sasha asked from her desk.
"well the 4th fleet is already on route and should be there within 4 days, they are escorting the 9th Amphibious Assault Taskforce." Admiral Printok said "the Flagship is the CFN Republic, a Nimitz Class carrier."
"how meny ships in total?" Sasha asked "and how meny ground forces?"
"well the 4th fleet has 2 Nimitz Class carriers, the Republic and the Hope. Aswell as 4 Invincible class STOVL/VSTOL carrier but the full list is in the report on your desk mam." The Admiral replyed, "there orders if you confirm them will be to blockaide all ports, basic goods such as food and such will be allowed though, anything elce well...wont. All ships will stop for inspection or turned away. Fighters will also patrol the airspace with support if fired apon by any SAM or AAA sites as per our rules of engagment."
"vary well how will we get our Special forces onto the ground?" She asked.
"Once our ships are in postion the will be deployed via helicopters that will fly under there radar to the outskirts of the city, there we hope if our next message is recived by the group they will be met. We just hope." Kree responded.
"you have a go on this operation." Sasha replyed as she opened the folder in front of her.
Email sent to "jane"
Hi jane,
that would be lovely i might just have to come by when the baby is born, im sent you some recent picture of the family, i hope you enjoy it. Ive had trubble recently tho i had a history test for college, ive gone back, and i couldnt remember the name of that man who was in charge of England, when i found out after i could kicked myself. take care, see you soon i hope.
Within the file that the pictures were in was another file, it was daring to do such a thing but the CFI didnt know what other choice they had. The file was protected and asked for 2 passwords, the first they hoped the person would get. It was 4 letters, Mary, hopeful they would get it. The 2nd was longer 9 letters te clue was in the email, churchill. If it was intercepted hopefully who ever tryed to read the file wouldnt get both passwords and if they get it wrong 1st time it would release a virus designed to erase the file and disrupt the system.
the file contained the pass phase the special forces would use to ID themselves with the currect responce, it also contain the location that they were going to land and when.

They had been sailing for over 7 days from the Dark Light sea's of the eastern borders of the confedaracy, they were but a few 100 miles from the coast of Federated Prussia. It would soon be time to move into postion to start the blockaid, a total of 48 warships made up the 4th fleet, not includeing the Support Taskforce. the 9th Amphibious Assault taskforce stuck close the the 12th Battlegroup that was to defend the support group and the 9th.

"settle down ladies." Lieutenant Jackson said, "now we're all here the Briefing can start. As you know over a week ago Intel came in that a Crazy Redneak took control of some backwater nation, Federated Prussia. Now this isnt something that normaly bothers us but the Mass murder and Genocide is what bothers us, anyway Since we lack the military power with the recent Tribekistan Upriseing in the north of the Confederacy and no real evidance that this is going in we're being sent in to support a rebal group."
"oh the joys" Hix said looking up from where he was sitting.
"shut it Hix" Jackson snaped back "anyway we will be landing here" he pointed to Sat Photo of the city and surrounding areas, "hopefuly this group got the message and know we will be there in 5 hours time, Jackrabbits is your code name. Apon contact with the group the phrase "where there is hope" should be said, they should reply "there is Freedom". If not waste who ever you come to. Since we're not sure if they got the message there is only a 1 hour window if they dont show you move to location Beta" He pointed to a Sat Photo of an airbase a few miles north of the landing zone. "your mission will then be to disable this airbase, lay Mines on the Runway and blow the hangers and Radar Towers. after that move to Extraction Point here, 3 miles south East of the airbase. We dont know enemy strength or numbers, so any intel you can find you bring back. If you can capture a ranking officer thats even better. Any questions?"
"ya, sir if i said i was hearing voices could i get pulled due to insanity?" Hix asked with a cheeky Grin.
"Hix if thats all your hearing your the sanist bastard here, vary well, Go suit up. Dismissed." Jackson replyed.
