OOC: I'm treating this as an extension of this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518037)

Despite himself, Lieutenant James Richardson yawned. This really is a boring mission. And there's not even the threat of enemy action to make it interesting, I bet we've got more planes in the air than the entire nation of Strator possesses, he thought. Task Force 24 had been assigned the duty of quarantining the slave trade from Strator. Since they had ignored the warnings, military action was now being undertaken.

A total of 192 aircraft, F14F Maahes, were in the air, 160 of them carrying four one thousand pound sea mines each. The rest were loaded for air superiority or SEAD missions to protect them, though they didn't expect to see any action. With Long Shot (http://www.missilesandfirecontrol.com/our_news/factsheets/Product_Card-LongShot.pdf) adaptors attached to the mines, their release would be about forty miles away from the ports that they were now closing. Each major port was being hit simultaneously and would be subject to follow up strikes to make sure the field was quite dense.

The mines were of an older vintage, being used in this to get them out of the stockpile, but still highly effective. Detonated through the combined influences of acoustic signatures and magnetic fields, they were extremely difficult to sweep. Though they could be programmed to wait until a certain number of ships had passed, that had been decided against. Any ships or helicopters attempting to sweep the minefield would be destroyed. The six hundred and fifty pounds of RDX explosive contained in the bottom mines, whose shape was irregular and designed to look like any other piece of debris, would prove more than sufficient to destroy or disable a ship entering their field of influence.


Notice to Mariners
All Strator ports have been closed by Rosdivani action. Any mariners attempting to transit these ports do so at their own, very considerable risk.

Somewhere off the Coast of Strator

"Captain Summers, roughly 10 minutes before we hit Strator territorial waters." The Captain nodded, thinking to himself, "Full stop. Repeat, full stop." The crewman nodded, "Full stop, aye sir."
The small fleet of seven ships: two destroyers, four LPDs and One Aircraft carrier steamed to a halt, and Captain Summers looked at the radar. He was commander of the small fleet, on the flagship, the destroyer CRN Columbia.

"Sir, radar detects allied ships." The Captain turned around, and replied, "Who's are they?" The crewman looked again, and answered, "Rosdivani, sir."

The Captain picked up the radio, which looked like a black phone, and switched the the secure Prussian wavelength. Rosdivani ships, be advised, Ridgian vessels approaching, repeat, Ridgian vessels approaching. Do not fire. I repeat. Do not fire. Captain Summers commanding.

The ships turned and steamed off to link up with the larger Rosdivani fleet.

APOC is giving you an ultimatium ---> http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518176

OOC: Well dude you are boned so good luck in the future.

OOC: Franberry and SU, have you talked about this with the others before issuing an ultimatum like that? Just wondering.

IC: OFFICIAL IMPERIAL COMMUNIQUE

To the nation of Strator:

The Imperium strongly advises you to give up your slave trade immediately. You have made a profit on it: be satisfied with that, or the APOC will declare war on you. We do not break our promises, and no matter how many of us are sent to wipe away your nation, we will succeed. The Imperium would rather not get involved in this, but if you persist we will have no choice, and your nation will cease to exist independently. Your clients will not protect you.

Consider this very carefully, or in a matter of hours war will be declared, and your nation will not survive. This is a warning. Next will come the end.

Darian Aurelius, Minister of Foreign Affairs

OOC: It needs to be reworded more that its an operation on behalf of APOC but it hasn't been discussed by APOC. I'll tell Fran to reword his post.

To the Leader of Stator,

I agree fully with my great and mighty allies in Derscon. This is blatent disregard for generally accepted International Etiquette and will not be tolerated.

In the Name of the Aaronian Empire, her peoples and her colonies, I herby damand that you retract your nation from the sinful evil that is the slave trade.

This is an absolute abomination and i feel that you are a total and complete insult on the peoples of this earth, so advanced and mighty.

Madame Nar Woo, President of the Aaronian Empire, and holder of the Imperial Throne.

Excerpt from the Father Fitzgerald Hour

The government of Strator claims to be humane in that it allows the slaves to live, instead of being executed. But are they humane? Let us see what laws these slaves have broken. In the first press release from the Strator government, they claims one law that constituted this sick, barbaric punishment was speaking too loud. Speaking too loud! This means that if a mother raised her voice to a disobediant child, she could, nay, CAN be sold into slavery. As you may all know, I hate war, as does the Lord, our God. However, the time when an uprising is necessary is if you or your family is immediately threatened! This does not mean you build a new naval base, as our supposed allies in Rosdivan plan to do. That is an abuse of this concept, as there is no immediate threat. However, in this case, I urge the slaves to rise up, and toss of the shackle of slavery. This is no more immoral than wa sthe Warsaw Ghetto Uprising! Forward, comrades! Slavery must, and will be stopped. May God Bless you all, and May God free his people!

Imperial Nicksyllvanian Agency of Human Resources

The cargo ship reeked of… well, urine.

“Did the great mechanical bastard really need to be so damned realistic?” Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Thomas Vult, currently in command of the (fraudulently) Economicdisasteristani registered merchantman ‘Sir Robin the Not Quite So Brave as Sir Lancelot’ muttered, looking out over the small container ship’s decks. It was, or at least appeared to be, a 92M Deck Cargo Ship, Chinese made, with a length of ninety two meters, berthing twelve, propelled by twin Cummins QSK60-M engines. It could make a whopping twelve knots.

It carried one hundred and four containers, each fifteen meters long and three wide, which, when fully loaded, would carry thirty seven slaves for the ‘long sea voyage’ up ahead. Making up almost four thousand above deck, with over another thousand below decks, making a total capacity of exactly five thousand…

The name on the side of the ship stretched down one fifth of its length, and despite this, the dour men who were manning it with Vult showed that it wasn’t exactly a fun place to be. Dressed in military surplus, and carrying G36 rifles and various sidearms. Vult was notable for wearing a bright red beret, but he was heavily armed as the others. On the top of the ship was a hastily bolted AA gun of some type, where it had a good field of fire over the top of the containers, and to either side of the ship.

All in all, the whole thing was very seedy.

Vult thought much the same of the harbour where the ship was about to berth.

He had the equivalent of ten million dollars in gold on board, to negotiate. Despite this, the preferences expressed by the buyers were ‘Sick, ‘poor condition,’ then other females, and finally other males…’

Of course, Vult knew all about proposed attacks, blockades, and mines. They wouldn’t get there before him – as he was already there, of course – and leaving, well, if they wanted to blow up a ship with the slaves on it, they were complete idiots.

He frowned as the ‘Sir Robin’ pressed up against the dock wall. Now to go ashore and buy...

Adam Wincenty sat in his office, jaw hanging down. He had a team of five men and women sitting at the other end of his gargantuan desk in his otherwise Spartan meeting room. A small puddle of drool had formed on his desk. What was causing the good general such distress? Half of the fucking civilized world was ready to lay the smack down upon the small nation of Strator, and General Wincenty had sent a damning communiqué (heavily encrypted, of course) to Strator's slave procurement office. The glassy look in his eyes faded, and were replaced with a look of determination.

"Gentlemen, you know why I have called you here."
The 5 men in identical black, non-descript armor suits, save for a small silver skull adorning their helmets, nodded almost imperceptibly.
“Recently, as part of normal business operations, we attempted to procure slaves for impressment to train good men like you. Unfortunately, because the nation supplying the product was small and not the size of say, Tyrandis, they are about to be invaded. These documents were most likely burned, though I cannot leave that up to chance. Your mission is to assassinate anyone who may have definitive knowledge of these documents. You will be provided with all relevant information, including SigInt on the geographic locations of where these items may have been sent. Questions.”

One spoke: “Insertion?”
“Undecided Captain Miroslava. We are currently guestimating on a naval insertion.”
Another posed a question: “Equipment?”
“Standard. You will have unconditional support from the entire military on this. We hope to set up an occupation zone, as I will be personally contacting several other nations involved in this. You will either be extracted through this hypothetical occupation zone, or withdrawn through a friendly port. Gentlemen and women, you have your orders. Good luck.”
They stood, saluted, and left in unison. An amphibious assault force was ready to insert them, and they had a plane to catch. Wincenty drafted a message to several involved nations.

Re: Strator’s slave trade

It has come to our attention that our former position of free and open trade cannot easily apply to the case of the rogue nation of Strator. Though we would under most circumstances, support the nation of Strator in exporting commodities for the betterment of its nation, their position is suicidal. Since their methods of procurement for forced labor do not derive from the true scum of society, we are formally announcing a commencement of hostilities against Strator barring their revamping of their corrections system. As such, we are announcing our near-unconditional support for any nation seeking military action against Strator. War can be expensive, and we are willing to help foot the bill both monetarily and with boots on the ground. This position is effective immediately.

Several miles off the Coast of Strator

A huge 1.5 km Commander Puriton Capital Submarine (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/madnukedude/CommanderPuritonClassCapitalSubmari.png) one of the largest vessels in the Clandonian Royal Navy. The crew of 20,000 were on alert as they moved into territorial waters of Strator, noting the presence of other allied nations they broadcast measures of support as a united coalition against the slave trade in Strator. The submarine could potentially carry 308 fully sized Thornwind Naval ICBM's, capable of carrying eight MIRV warheads. The vessel had been designed as a show of Clandonian national pride, its 60 torpedo tubes loaded with a selection of ordnance.

The submarine moved in, carrying a brigade of five thousand Clandonian Royal Marines who were preparing for a possible landing via Merlin helicopters and the landing craft that the huge sub could accommodate.


"Captain, we are within range of the Stratforian coastline, advise high command on what to do?"

"We shall wait, APOC have confirmed their disgust and other large powers are rolling up in condemnation, I suspect an invasion will occur within the next 48 hours."

"Landign will be hard now the Rosidivans have mined the harbour good job the booties bought the helicopters and LCAC's for this mission."

"Yeah, interesting event if we do have to land, request satellite topography of possible beach landing sites from the MoD."

A 1.5 km sub would easily be tracked. It's much cheaper and in the end safer to put them in hardened silos than it is to put them on a 1.5 km sub that is probably on the verge of breaking apart.

Unless he pulls out some sort of energy shield, let him have it. It's not our problem if he wants to bankrupt his nation to bring a floating target that a pincushion could sink.

MESSAGE TO STRATOR

We would like to request permission to keep some aircraft at your bases for the purpose of protecting your nation against imperialist attacks.

IDF Air Force

To the leader of New Nicksyllvania:

Due to the size of this shipment I shall give you an extra cheap price of US $100 million.

The total amount of slaves incorporated in this shipment are as stated below:

Female, good condition X 200,000
Male, good condition X 50,000
Male, okay condition X 150,000

The transport will cost an additional $50,000 for sea shipment and $75,000 for air given the current situations. I shall not be supplying my own forces unless you request them for an extra $50,000.

I hope you find these prices reasonable because if you do the math, it is still much cheaper than it should be.

Food will be $15,000 for me to supply it.

To IDF:

The Dominion of Strator has no proper diplomatic ties with your nation and therefore cannot fully trust your troops in our country. we would be appreciative if you would help us against our enemies on our borders.

OOC: You really didn't need to post thois again, can we keep the war to one thread please, or start a war thread?

Notice to All Foriegn Vessels Near Strator
The Ridgian navy will not fire on any outgoing foriegn vessels, properly marked. We will, however, try to prevent ingoing vessels. We warn you that there are many ships blockading, among other defensive measures. Proceed at your own caution.

SIC: On the orders of Captain Summers, two submarines are heading out to meet up with the surface fleet off of Strator. They should arrive within a day, as they were patrolling international waters.

OOC:
Submergible supercapitals are sheer idiocy. Designing and building even one of these is probably going to bankrupt your nation, and I'm not sure it'd even work in practice.
They would work. Submarine operation solves many of the problems surface ones experience. However, it is still utterly pointless. I find the idea of the internal environment of an oversized (200+ kT) submarine somewhat interesting, though, but it has no use for SSBN purposes. Maybe we would use it as the base on Europa or Callisto, if the Freedom Hall space project didn't fall apart - but there just for pressure handling, and of spherical shape - and, of course, not for military purposes.
There are a lot of nice ideas, and at the very least it could be an aircraft carrier.

I hope you enjoy your merchandise

An Inquiry from Shah Jafar:

How much for the slaves which are ill? We can pay in either toman or gold bullion.

strator i will see to your destruction if you do not cancel this illegal black market:upyours:

12 Imperial Nicksyllvanian Destroyers arrived at Strators shores to escort the large transport group. The plan was to simply put the destroyer group in the middle of the Transports, preventing any aggressors from firing at Imperial ships without risking the slaughter of thousands of innocent teenagers, surely no compassionate democratic nation would do such, such is the weakness of such states.

"Notice to all forces blokading Stratorian ports, we demand that you allow our transports and Destroyer group ship safely back to our nation. We assure you that slavery is illegal in our nation, and that those purchased will instead serve as "bondservants" for a 10 year term before recieving Citizen Status. If you fire upon us, we will be forced to fire back, which will put 400,000 teenagers in the crossfire. Back down and allow us to do our business unless you wish to slaughter the innocent and wish to get the International media involved."

OOC:I would prefer not, as you can see Im already in a spot of a pickle (note, thats worse than a spot of a bother or a pickle) But actually that means I'd be hitting the ships of the people who bought the slaves, not you.

But actually that means I'd be hitting the ships of the people who bought the slaves, not you.

...do not hit any Safavid ships, as the only reason we are buying these slaves is to free them and if needed treat their illnesses. They would be put to the sword if not sold anyway.

The slaves were all inside the ships, the engines turned on as the New Nicksyllvanian ships arrived. The escort was here and they were about to be shipped off to a new country, some were scared, others were indifferent, and yet others greeted this as a new chance.

To Ismali:

There are roughly 100,000 male sick slaves and 100,00 female sick slaves.
This makes the price $850 million, but I shall give you a large bonus and make it 500 million due to the size of your shipment. would you like food with this and/or an escort.

Food, good quality: $150,000
Food, poor quality: $25,000
Anti-biotics: $30,000

Escort, large (100 battleships): $10 million
Escort, medium (50 battleships): $5 million
Escort, small (10 battleships): $1 million

Specify your choices, we will ship as soon as you are ready.

OOC: did you guys know i just got some cookies?! :p

hmmmmmmmm what ethnicity are the slaves incidentally? The persecution government would like to pre order 1200 black/ Asian/ European/Hispanic slaves for no use but to arbitrarily beat them...:D :D :D

To Prsecution and Hatred:

We have some slaves from those countries of origin, The numbers are:

500 European = $ 1750 for 100
500 Black = $ 1250 for 100
250 Asian = $ 1750 for 100
350 Hispanic = $ 1500 for 100

Take your pick out of those, you may take all, These are the results for all the male slaves, if you wish we can also include female. prices come from amount vs condition. we are sorry we cannot provide as many prime condition slaves but we have very tough imigration laws and we do not imprison tourist criminals, we deport them.

We also have some torture devices if you would like them please refer to the prices here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=518169

(Suprised this hasnt been shut down hmmm) i will re iterate my offer for the different ethnicities as they are all as inept as each other:p

expect a quick tranaction once "shipment" has been placed.

SECRET COMMUNICATION

To whom it may concern,

The Duke of Morningside Island is highly concerned that his communication has not been responded to. His Excellency the Duke wishes to purchase all available healthy slaves above the age of 16 for males and above the age of 12 for females.

His Excellency wishes to also remind Strator that all communications relating to this purchase be kept top secret due to the illegal nature of slavery in the Empire, and that the transaction be kept extremely discreet.

For your knowledge, we intend to employ the male slaves in quarrying operations and the female slaves will be employed as domestic servants. We would be interested in the price that you wish to sell these slaves for

Yours Sincerely

Mr. F. G. Ewington
Secretary to the Duke of Morningside Island

To Duke of Morningside:

I am sorry I could not reach you earlier but I had some high priority matters to attend to. There are not very many slaves in these categories at this moment due to a recent sale to New Nicksyllvania. The current figures are:

Males: 60,000
Females: 100,000

If you wish to buy these now and buy more later, the total cost for the slaves is $270 million, The lowest I shall place it at is $230 million. Food shall cost $35,000 and stealth transport will be an additional $1 million. All of this information is classified and Only myself and the pilots know the destination and they will be assasinated on return. I am risking a lot because your government might declare war on me for this transaction, so please understand the necessity for my pricing to be this much.

An escort of 200 battleships and enough good-quality food to last through the voyage should come to about $520'300'000, 317mil toman, or 22'692 kg gold. Expect either a wire or shipment of your payment of choice once we are notified.
Furthermore, if we could be notified regarding the specific transports, we will contact the proper diplomatic venues to ensure they are not fired upon, as I would view it as a personal insult.

-Shah Jafar

OOC: I'd like to point out here that Strator can't even afford 100 or 200 battleships, much less afford sending them to sea when he's being invaded by a dozen nations.

SECRET COMMUNICATION

To whom it may concern,

Thank you for your swift reply. His Excellency understands the concerns of Strator regarding the possibility of war between the Empire and Strator, however, although slavery is illegal within the Empire, many of the members of the nobility own slaves, especially in the outer provinces. Enough members of the nobility own slaves that a declaration of war would not make it past the Executive Council - hence peaceful relations will remain between our nations.

His Excellency is however satisfied with the price, and would be willing to purchase the entire lot for US$275 million (including food and stealth transport). Due to the nature of the transaction, His Excellency would like to pay in gold. We have calculated that it would involvement the shipment of 415,000 troy ounces of gold (roughly thirteen metric tonnes). The chief reason for this is due to regulations surrounding the shipment of large amounts of paper currency - gold does not fit within these regulations and the nobility regularly pay for various items with gold, so there would be no suspicion about the nature of the transaction.

It has been a pleasure doing business with Strator and we would like to continue in future.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. F. G. Ewington
Secretary to the Duke of Morningside Island

To Ismali:

It is unfortunate that in our current situation we cannot meet your total requirments, I have a fleet that is capable of making the journey but it only has 100 battleships, hopefully your conditions should keep the fleet safe from the navies surrounding my country. I beleive 100 battleships should be enough to protect the cargo from pirates. If you wish we can send after the war.

To the Duke of Morningside island:

This sounds reasonable and you can expect the slaves to be ready immediatly

To Duke of Morningside:

I would like to know a little more about your country, Are you planning on any more transactions with my Nation, or are there any other dukes who may wish to do so?

Is anybody gonna answer?

OOC: Strator, you don't even have 100 battleships. Very few nations have that many dreadnoughts. And there is no way you could afford to send 100 battleships to escort a shipment when you are under attack by a dozen nations and are already being invaded.

IC:

To all nations whom appose Slavery please attend the Anti-Slavery Innocence Summit. Which is to be held within the Vetakan Capital of Theeb. Together we can collectively remove the practive slaverly from the Modern Day World.

Yours Dominion of Vetaka Forigen Affairs Secretary Scarlet Rogers

Hey Strator, you got any slaves suitable for gladiatorial combat? Send me a telegram. We would be very interested in a long term trade agreement.

To Silver Star HQ:

They are not dreadnaughts, just frigates

To Barudii:

I have good quality slaves which are strong, its $20 for 1

SECRET COMMUNICATION

To whom it may concern,

The Empire is in many ways a very unusual nation. In spite of a reasonably centralised government; over the years, local government has become extremely powerful. In the 18th and early 19th Centuries, due to very poor communication between the various isles that make up the Empire; a nobility was gradually formed that would rule over the various provinces. The nobility; having tasted the power that was associated with absolute rule in their own regions; proceeded to have it enshrined in law. Even today, many of the regions outside of the central three isles (New Ulster, New Leinster and New Munster) are ruled by Dukes, Earls, Marquesses, Barons and Viscounts as near absolute rulers - all decisions made by regional councils have to be agreed to by them. Because of this absolute power; they could choose which laws would be followed - hence the reason why slavery, although illegal in the Empire since 1907, is still widely practiced.

In terms of other matters, His Excellency is pleased at the quality of the goods. The quarry was very productive today and His Excellency found that the noise controls that are practiced in Strator are very effective. His Excellency has also noticed the obedience of many of the female house-slaves and notes that they are of a different nature to many of his other house-slaves. Therefore, His Excellency will purchase in future.

In terms of the other members of the nobility; His Excellency has been able to discuss it yet, as you may understand. He is certain, however, that there will be interest further afield. He would like to, however, be a broker of sorts between your nation and the Empire.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. F. G. Ewington
Secretary to the Duke of Morningside Island

To Duke of Morningside:

Your country is indeed interesting and I am pleased to know that the merchandise was satisfactory. Is there anything we can improve upon in the future, although from hence on our shipments will be smaller because of less slavering laws.

Confidential Communique from Defense Secretary Mario Iliescu to the Almighty Strator
Encrypted Message
Decryption Protocol enclosed. Decrypt? (y/n?)

Greetings, Almighty Strator.

Forgive me if my last inquiry was directed to the wrong channels of communication; your surrender had only just been agreed to and I had to take more security measures than proved useful to me in the end. Needless to say, the 'partnership' in occupation I've been urging on General Secretary Horridus has worked nicely; and now it's time for me to return the favor.
First, what is your current stock of slaves to be bought for liberation this year? Ordinarily the Commerce Department would handle this, but the matter below makes this purchase my concern instead.
Second, I have prepared a sum of $1,000USD for five assorted torture device sets to be shipped directly to my possession; one for each of my personal castles. A castle simply isn't complete without a proper torture chamber, don't you agree Your Highness? Naturally this aspect of the deal must be as absolutely confidential as possible, for both our sakes. Our nation's expanding adult entertainment business could conceivably benefit from further trade with you along these lines, but I'll have to walk a fine line in bringing up the matter first out of simple political discretion.
In any case, my money stands ready to be wired covertly through an account known only to me, which number I've enclosed below. Please delete all record of our little transaction once it is shipped, understood?
Sincerely,
Mario Iliescu
Defense Secretary, United Socialist States of Wagdog

Secret Communique and Instructions to Strator Re: Liberation Transaction...

Encrypted Message.
Decrytpion Protocol Enclosed. Decrypt? (y/n?)
From: Defense Secretary Mario Iliescu
To: The Almighty Strator

Excellent. I have already instructed our Air Force's 7th Security Forces Wing personnel to receive your shipment; which ideally should be brought to the southern-central airbase that their parent formation Seventh Army Air Force occupies, if you please. They shall treat your delegation with all due respect, and have not been informed that this is anything other than a routine transfer-of-custody under the surrender terms; knowledge of this transaction being best kept as minimal as possible. At the airbase, once you have transferred the slaves into our custody and departed, we shall release, shelter and comfort them as needed prior to their transport by air to Wagdog in Il-76MF military transports; pending departure (if desired) from there to points of their own choosing on civilian flights chartered at our government's expense.
Might you also be able to sell blunted/safetied adult-entertainment versions of your torture devices? They would be well in-demand, especially with my country's budding Adult Entertainment industry, and shouldn't take much effort to manufacture on the same lines as the serious equipment I myself purchased. You are a sensible businessman, Almighty Strator, whatever certain ethically-blinkered others might think of your taste in markets; and could profit well if you branched out further into more supposedly "respectable" lines of sale. If you can carry a "bondage device set" to match your full torture equipment, I can easily lobby the Revolutionary Command Council and National People's Congress to allow a trade agreement for annual importation of such products. We gain a reliable supplier for a niche social grouping of ours (BDSM practitioners), and you gain our money and a better reputation abroad; what say you?

Sincerest thanks,
Mario Iliescu

Consider the signal given. Deliver the slaves to the southernmost airbase, as agreed by the terms of my occupation. Thank you for your cooperation, this shall be taken into account at the restarted conference as soon as the site is agreed to.
OOC: Need to get my map on Photobucket later, so I can publish what my occupation zone is at the next conference. The file's too big for direct attachment...:headbang: Essentially, I control the southernmost two bases, the new defenses on the coast and bordering Sing Hong, the one old fort on that border, the three naval bases in that area, and all Control Towers within that area so outlined; half the "teeth" of the Strator skull, if you will.
What's the port town (the naval base directly on the coast) called anyway, plus the other towns in my occupied area? I'm curious since it might come up, and could flesh out our little occupation RP even better at the next conference.;)

Ecrypted Message from the Wagdoggie Secretary of Defense
My thanks Strator for your excellent service. The torture devices in particular were a big hit at one of our recent 'masquerades' in my main castle deep in the forests of Revolutionary Guinea. In future this could be the beginning of a very profitable business for you.
Alas, I must inform you if you don't already know that Wagdog is again at war. Not long ago New Nicksyllvanian naval forces operating off Zanski extended their little de jure declaration of war against all the 'Communist' forces in-theater to us de facto as well, by shooting down several of our carrier aircraft as part of an indiscriminate barrage against the forces so named. We have retaliated appropriately, and although the current situation is unclear we would be remiss if we kept you in the dark about its existence.
You should probably recall the forces you have retained to your territory, seeing as New Nicksyllvania will see a Wagdoggie field army and air force on your soil and likely take action. We shall try to prevent this, but cannot make any promises-as-such. If you are attacked, rest assured we shall defend you as we are able. It is only fitting for an occupying power, and in any case Mer Des Ennuis has responsibilities in your nation still; so that may provide some additional security for you yet. In any case, the best of luck Almighty Strator.

Mario Iliescu

OOC: May I just say I applaud you for standing your ground while nearly 10 nations were invading you. I have known much larger nations who simply give up after a missle has been fired. I'll buy from you after my revolution

Do you still have female slaves for sale? Our esteemed spiritual leader Father 'Tony' Mulcahey is especially interested in those with luscious boobs.

To F1 Insanity:

We do in fact have female slaves, Good condition one with good looks, as I am sure you are looking for, cost $15 per slave. I can transport slaves now as most barricades and embargoes have been lifted.

extra costs might include:

Escorts= $25,000 per frigate
Food= $500 for feeding 100 people

100 will do nicely. Please submit details for payment!

How are these women going to be treated?:rolleyes: We have some leeway under the surrender terms, but do remember who still has one carrier group off your shores, flies air patrols in your southern skies, and has a small army fortified in your country Strator. If this can be remotely justified as a "liberation buy" Wagdog can look the other way, but otherwise we shall uphold our responsibilities as an occupying power (among two counting Mer des Ennuis) in Strator until such time as the new Anti-Slavery Conference is convened with Vetaka, ourselves, Strator, and other interested parties represented (which we have a mind to do ourselves if it takes too much longer...:headbang:).

To Wagdog:

It is not a good policy to take interest in what our buyers intend with the product, but I assure you that whilst in Stratorian hands they shall be treated as well as any other free Stratorian. We do have a policy not to sell to geneticists named Fred, Bob, Jimmy, Timmy, Rob, Frank, Earl or Steve intent on creating mind altered clones to rule the world. The reason behind this policy is currently unknown but it is beleived that it has something to do with peppermint and cucumber.

To F1 Insanity:

The pricing will be at $2250 unless you want an escort, the $250 is for transport. Payment should be in current equivelent of that amount in gold or other precious metals which would be Silver, Platinum, and we also can except payment in *Uranium or *Plutonium.

Very well, Strator. However, we had read F1 Insanity's order since it was broadcast in the clear, and his 'preferences' for the buy gave us concern about how the female slaves would be treated in his care. If Father Mulcahey could give us his assurances that his newly-acquired harem shall be treated with the respect due proper concubines and given all domestic rights possible for their circumstance, erring on the 'possible' we should add, again our government could overlook this transaction. What does the government of F1 Insanity have to say in this matter?

Your assistance is most welcome, and accepted. We're uncertain of the situation in Mer des Ennuis' occupied zone west of us given rumors of pending Ennuisian domestic instability, so the extra support will prove critical. We shall soon be withdrawing First Fleet to refit for the fight against Nicksyllvania, and your presence will indeed help Strator stay in line with his obligations. Deploy as many as you are comfortable with, and you shall have full access to Wagdog's facilities in the south and southeast of Strator for joint use.

You shall find attached our rough order of battle for land and land-based air assets in Strator. Deploy what you feel is sufficient for reinforcement; since although so far Strator has been compliant in military terms, his recent reassertion of control over his forces under our supervision does raise minor risk of betrayal unless sufficient force is maintained in-theater as a deterrent. Your naval force is already quite enough, and we should point out that although our forces will engage any New Nicksyllvanian elements that attack this far out, we do not require the same of you out of respect for your neutrality in this matter.

Excellent. This will indeed make our defense against possible attack by Nicksyllvanian forces much easier, not to mention allow us to upgrade the last of our antique forces to a modern standard which could not be done under deployed conditions.

As Lord Governor Baker intercepted this message, he spat coffee onto his screen. All messages to strator concerning the slave trade were being monitored, and though Wanderjarian forces had not publicly supported the war against Strator, behind back channels they congratulated the forces fighting against exploitation and imperialism. However, this nation of Tyler VanStone and its request to buy female slaves was horrific.


"I do believe we should show them the error of their ways, do you not?" He asked Admiral Reinhardt.

"Indeed mein Furher," He replied. "Shall the Kriesmarine set forth?"

"Not just yet, allow me to personally request their apology to the world or face assault by the Red Army."

"Very well, mein Furher. I shall wait patiently for your orders."

"Thank you Admiral."

OOC: LOL!

OOC: If everybody is ok my fleet has Arrived. Wagdog I have a nice change over ceramony for you.

The Vetakan Strator Peacekeeping Patrol had arrived their orders were to carry out the same duties as the current Wagdog forces deployed. The Vetakan President had taken the operative decision to deploy Vetakan Troops to show the world Vetaka was a nation of peace and could be trusted with such responsibiltes but also to aid the nation of Wagdog that was current facing conflict on its doorstep. Vetaka was a peaceful nation and as long as Strator respected its people the surrender terms and the Vetakans themselves then Strator would have no trouble from Vetaka. However if Strator thought that Vetaka would be softer than that of Wagdog they where sourly mistaken if it was necessary Vetaka would fight to the death and deploy more troops. Vetaka was famous for its World War II Japanese style resistence. Vetaka had a job to do and it wasn't going to leave until that job was done.

Wagdog Main Airbase, Southeast Strator:

As the Vetakan Naval Blackhawk landed on the tarmac 2 Figures gracefully jumped out and ran away from the loud noise of the chopper they ran to a waiting Wagdog Soilder and shouted over the noise whilst saluting:

"Hello Im Vetakan Naval Admiral Katie Contona and this is VDF General Edward Evans can we speak with the Wagdog Commander please whilst sticking to Military Tradition we are required to have a joint ceramony to signify your withdrawal is that ok?"

OOC: I'd like to remind everyone no slave shipments unless authorized by Wardog/myself/Vetaka are gonna get through ;)

my imperial military is on red alert ready to meet any threat.

To Tyler VanStone:

I can sell you various torture devices, they come at a good price, at only $200 per set, you can have the best compliance devices on the market. This includes surgical equipment and a complimentary compliance worker, a Strappado set and a Thumbscrew. We now sell a complete set which adds the Rack on for just $25.

We also can provide torture for any enemies within you nation which cause problems, details will be given if requested for use.

We also have put into consideration a neural virus to reach an unparalled level compliance. I will contact you after our research is complete.

Including three fleets plus railguns plus mobile artillery plus SSHQ reenforcement en route?

Strator, I'm not going to let your shipment pass my fleet. Stop teleporting your shipments.

The Socialist Commonwealth of Wanderjar wishes to make a statement of the Imperialist and inhumane sell of human souls and the exploitation of the people of Strator:

OOC oh nuts there goes adding to my numbers ,don't want to upset some one i know

Wanderjar, they have to leave the coast first. Might be a bit difficult as his beach is occupied :p

To SSHQ:

I have not sent any shipments yet but anyway, if I am going to send any I would send them by air because so far I am getting relatively small orders. Any hostile actions taken towards my shippment will be setting off the spark that lead to another one of these little wars, I still remember the losses, yet this time you seem to have less support in your rampaging law making. There was no statement made that I cannot continue my slave trade, there were just laws passed on treatment of slaves. I assure you that the slaves are treated fine.

To Tyler VanStone:

250 female slaves would be at $5250 but I shall give you a alliance discount on the slaves so it will be $4750.

well others did, you will be the only one at war with me.

OH WAIT New Nicksylvania never signed the treaty either, maybe they will help you!

Note that your army is probably smaller than mine as my country is a one built on war and I still have every troop left over and my conscripts have been trained.

OOC: Ships have AA guns, and if you declare war then I just stay on the coast and shoot them down. While using your beach defenses against you. I technically never agreed to that treaty. Additionally, your ally, a 6 mil pop nation with little over 1 billion defense spending isn't a major thorn in my sider

Why the hell is your post after mine when I replied to it?

Jolt forums bug. Also, I spend more than you in defense funding and I'm control of about a dozen railguns with sea and air support. Gf, you tried ;)

As you may or may not be aware, the Capitalist Republic previously had a series of encounters with a rogue nation lead by a Duchess Renee who shared many of your viewpoints regarding slavery.

Her nation was crushed, and she was put to death by the men and women who had previously been enslaved under her tyrannical rule.

Be ye appropriately warned, human life is not a plaything, it is a privilege to be earned. And at present, what with your flagrant disregard for the basic human rights every person on the planet is afforded from birth, you are skating on thin ice.

Aha! but you probalby spend very little money on your offense budget! Muahahahaha. But seriously, I will go to war with you if you attack my transports, and I do beleive that I can get myself some allies for this little war...

Moneys yours. spend it wisely

OOC: If everybody is ok my fleet has Arrived. Wagdog I have a nice change over ceramony for you.

The Vetakan Strator Peacekeeping Patrol had arrived their orders were to carry out the same duties as the current Wagdog forces deployed. The Vetakan President had taken the operative decision to deploy Vetakan Troops to show the world Vetaka was a nation of peace and could be trusted with such responsibiltes but also to aid the nation of Wagdog that was current facing conflict on its doorstep. Vetaka was a peaceful nation and as long as Strator respected its people the surrender terms and the Vetakans themselves then Strator would have no trouble from Vetaka. However if Strator thought that Vetaka would be softer than that of Wagdog they where sourly mistaken if it was necessary Vetaka would fight to the death and deploy more troops. Vetaka was famous for its World War II Japanese style resistence. Vetaka had a job to do and it wasn't going to leave until that job was done.

Wagdog Main Airbase, Southeast Strator:

As the Vetakan Naval Blackhawk landed on the tarmac 2 Figures gracefully jumped out and ran away from the loud noise of the chopper they ran to a waiting Wagdog Soilder and shouted over the noise whilst saluting:

"Hello Im Vetakan Naval Admiral Katie Contona and this is VDF General Edward Evans can we speak with the Wagdog Commander please whilst sticking to Military Tradition we are required to have a joint ceramony to signify your withdrawal is that ok?"
Command Sergeant Major Daniel Atterson of the Seventh Army smiled and motioned, "Right this way, Ma'am." After walking them through several barracks through to the Commander's office, the CSM said "Wait here," and entered.
After a few moments, Field Marshal Eileen Millenhaus, another of Deputy General Secretary Christine Friedrich's sorority friends that had proven her worth back during the Revolution, exited and saluted Admiral Contona. "A pleasure Ma'am. We are ready for the formal handover ceremony from our Seventh Army Group," the combined HQ for Seventh Army and Seventh Army Air Force in Wagdoggie terms, "to the Vetakan Strator Peacekeeping Patrol. Given some of the orders our G2 Intel section's been overhearing, I'd say you're just in time too. Please, follow me and my Command Sergeant Major."
She led the way as per her titular rank to the tarmac where a small podium was being readied for the troops and airmen to see the transfer occur. Hopefully exercising a few of the prerogatives of title while I still can won't be cconsidered unduly rude...

"Attack, sir?" queried the younger of the two men stood on the balcony. The older man looked out onto the view of the mountain range stretching far ahead, and took a deep breath.

"Yes, Lieutenant Grant. Attack."

"Sir, if I may ask, why?"

The older man sighed with annoyance - Lieutenant Grant had only just been promoted to his rank and moved to the Armed Forces HQ in Selke City, and was asking altogether too many questions.

"It is our duty, Lieutenant, to wipe out the plague known as the slave trade wherever we encounter it. You may or may not recall the incident with Duchess Renee some years ago, but I certainly do - as a matter of fact, a large percentage of the slaves in the rogue nation are currently McPsychovillian citizens."

"But why now, General Nolan? With the election coming up and the budgetary decisi-"

General Nolan swung around, staring at the lieutenant with fire in his eyes. "Election, Grant? Is that what you think this is about? This is about simple human rights, goddammit, not politics! There is to be no more questioning from your quarter; the Second Unit is to be mobilised for this operation."

"All of it?!"

"I said no more questions. And if I did not specify, then all of it. I don't believe I stuttered, Grant. Dismissed."

OOC: Aha! but you probalby spend very little money on your offense budget! Muahahahaha. But seriously, I will go to war with you if you attack my transports, and I do beleive that I can get myself some allies for this little war...

The first move has been made. You will have to specify whether your transports are sea-born or airborne etc. as I've found no information on the wiki regarding your nation. For reference, the Second Unit is one of ten equally-sized units in the McPsychoville Armed Forces, and encompasses land, sea and air divisions (as well as Special Unit Beta, our special forces) - it numbers 5.45 million combat troops, of which there are approximately 1.5 million foot soldiers.

OOC: Just to Clarify a few things for you if you turn back the pages you will you will see that the The Dominion of Vetaka has taken over Peacekeeping and Policing Duties in Southeastern Strator from the United Socialist States of Wagdog. I have 12,000 troops, an air force and a Carrier Battle Fleet. Vetaka can hopefully provide an occupation force that is recgonised by the International Community Vetaka is part of the Sovereign League, Questarian Commonwealth and the Domminion Commonwealth

OOC2: I didn't notice that slave purchase by Van Tylerstone as a result their is not much I can do.

OOC3: Strator don't try anything funny if necessary I can deploy 2 Vetakan Battlegroups including 500,000 troops. All well armed and well supported. Respect human rights and the world shall respect you.

IC:

The Vetakan Commanders followed the Wagdogie Commanders to the podium although Vetaka and Wagdog were not actually allies one of the decisions to deploy to Strator was that Wagdog was a good nation whom Vetaka would be honoured to call an official friend and well Wagdog's military could do with a break. Vetakan President Roxanne Wright wanted to formally and officially form an alliance with Wagdog but with the current international situation. So Vetakan relief in Strator was Roxannes way of being an unofficial friend. Admiral Contona followed the Wagdog Field Marshal Eileen Millenhaus to the podium she stood next to her and waited for the Field Marshal to begin her army type speech. The Wardog flag blew gently in the wind soon it would be hounourably lowered and replaced with the Vetakan Flag.

As for the rest of Occupied Strator Vetakan Troops and Armour where deploying to Wagdog positions to relieve them. Scenes of international comradeship where being displayed right across southeast Strator as troops from two different countries exchanged hands, hugs and gifts. The Vetakan President herself had ordered that Vetakan Troops where to give their Wagdog counter-parts cigerettes, ice cream or chocolate.

The Dominion of Vetaka is a neutral nation and is working with Strator to aid in post-war reconstruction and more importantly working with Strator to stop slavery.

The Dominion of Vetaka is a nation that is part of the Dominion Commonwealth, Questarian Commonwealth, Sovereign League and is a supporter of the GUSN and the GASN.

the first golddragons fleet composed of 20 battleships 2 aircraft carriers 5 destroyers 4 misile firagates and 17 cruisers begin a blocade of strator

OOC: Golddragons why?

Official Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: Golddragons Forigen Office
From: Vetakan Forigen Affairs

Subject: Reason for your Blockade

The Dominion of Vetaka is confused as to why you have decided to deploy a Naval Force to Blockade Strator. I must inform you that The Dominion of Vetaka has deployed a Naval Battleforce along with an Occupation numbering 12,000 backed up by a Small Air Force to Southeast Strator. Which is ensuring the compliance of Strator to his surrender terms.

At this time the Dominion of Vetaka can not see a valid reason as to your deployment and in fact the deployment could cause more harm than good. At this time the Vetakan Deployment is internationally recognised and supported and does not require any re-inforcement by Naval Blockade. I can assure you that should Strator decide to do anything Vetaka will be ready and is willing to deploy troops. Again The Dominion of Vetaka requests reasons for your current blockade?

IC:

We understand, Strator, that your defence of selling humans as little more than cattle is that all slaves have committed some form of crime in the past, one worthy of the death penalty. We do not use the death penalty, but understand that it is a useful tool in deterring criminals from breaking the law in any severe way and so we have no problems with that (although, given your gross disregard for the most basic civil rights, we would express interest in exactly what qualified for the death penalty). We do have a problem with you believing death for a severe crime is equal to many years of slavery in another country, and from testimony of some freed slaves you sold in the past, we know that you do not give the criminals a choice between the two.

These slaves are not being given another life - "another life" infers that they are being given the chance to rejoin a workforce and repent, for want of a better word, for their actions. They are being sold; they are being turned into tools. This is our problem.

We see that Vetaka has already begun a blockade of the nation; we also see that the reasoning behind it is one of "compliance". Considering that trading is still continuing, we would opine that the compliance measures are not working, and so we will be moving into Strator. We are willing to leave the southeastern sector in control of Vetaka as long as we see no evidence of the trade continuing, but unless you cease your operations within one month, we will move in.

---

OOC: Like I said somewhere before, we had a run-in with another similar nation over slaving simply because it's a human life, and we'll do the same here. It's, like, the most common thing we'll go to war over.

loll and weh shoot them down with our fleet that hasnt got there yet

All in favour of ignoring this idiot until he learns to read the thread beforehand?

Also, Vetaka, you've misunderstood. I'm saying that we'll occupy the nation until such time that the slave trade is eradicated - you can keep control of the Southeast Sector, the only way we'll attack is if we find out the trade is still going on under your influence.

Yours Dominion of Vetaka President Roxanne Wright
Field Marshal Millenhaus decided brevity was the order of the day, considering how preliminary word of New Nicksyllvania's ongoing actions against her country seemed to be going. The Squids missile-spam alpha-strike him and he reportedly nuclear SUBROCs them eh? Meh. Shows what they get I guess, even if it shows too that they've got it where it counts at least. Hopefully we'll hear soon that not too much was hit... Reports of the now hours-ago battle against New Nicksyllvania were still fragmentary, and although optimistic in the sense of more enemy ships having been either sunk or crippled, this bit of rumored escalation on the enemy's part wasn't helping morale among those sailors and marines who put stock in it. Now's a good time for some mojo, actually. I guess this sort of stuff has a purpose after all.
"Soldiers and Comrades, whether Army, Air Force, Navy or Marines, I congratulate you on an exemplary campaign. Together we have fought, bled, suffered, and even died to bring freedom to a land which sometimes asks for it. And other times, one which throws it back in our face.
But be that as it may, we have done what we came here to do. This so-called "Almighty" Strator's vile slave trade is either out of business, or shall be shortly thanks to the help of decent nations; such as our friends in Vetaka and elsewhere. They relieve us now, hopefully so that we may rest as we have earned for a spell, before we face the fiery trial against the imperialists of New Nicksyllvania who have victimized us with their indiscriminate aggression. Always unto Victory Comrades?" She knew the answer that would come, these troops having earned that unique sort of gung-ho attitude that came from those who had not only "seen the Beast," i.e. actual combat, but seen it and overcome it by-and-large. Most of Wagdog's losses had been aboard the two-dozen-odd ships that Stratorian naval commandos had demolitioned due to lax onboard security, something Wagdog was not going to take for granted again.
"Always unto Victory Madam Field Marshal!!" The gathered forces, not all 10-20,000 thanks to the sheer logistical needs of the already-starting pullout of course, but those of the higher officers and NCOs that could be spared to witness ceremonial duties anyway, boomed their reply.
"Command Sergeant Major," Marshal Millenhaus motioned to Daniel Atterson, "You and the Color Guard may commence the Changing of the Colors. Admiral Contona, to spare you of unneeded formalities, I hereby state that as of 17:00hrs this evening, I and the Wagdoggie Red Army and Army Air Forces' combined Seventh Army Group, stand relieved. Good luck with your responsibilities in Strator, and do not hesitate to ask my government if support should be needed." She gave her salute to Admiral Contona, soon to begin the final bit of protocol needed for a legitimate relief-in-place. Besides which, the various deployed units under her command already had the informalities taken care of quite nicely, sharing much good food and drink and carousing with their Vetakan comrades before heading home. Much of these things, but not all since the Seventh Army group was actually fairly well-provisioned, provided by the Vetakans themselves. But that didn't matter; a good time was a good time, and smart soldiers don't discriminate about who brings such when it comes...

Official Wagdoggie Government Statement Regarding Renewed Threats against Strator
We completely support the Dominion of Vetaka's position on this matter. Our goal is to stop Strator's slave trade and provide enough legitimate economic support that, ultimately, even he shall see slavery as not merely wrong but obsolete as well. Further attacks on him will likely endanger this, as well as both our withdrawing forces and Vetaka's that are arriving to succeed us. Although such would not be an act of hostility right away unless either grossly or persistently committed, endangering them will definitely not endear our government to the forces and nations responsible.

OOC: He is already taken down. He currently has 12,000 Vetakan Troops on his soil. :) Their will be no further Slave Sales at all.

Occupied Strator, Southeast, Morning, 10:00, Sunny:

It was the first day of Vetakan Occupation in Strator after formally assuming control from the Seventh Wagdog Army. The Vetakans wanted to win the backing of the local population. As a result Vetakan Patrols talked with the adult population while offering advice as well as helping in small jobs. They also played sports and games with the children while offering chocolate. In an attempt to further Strator-Vetakan Relations. Vetakan Aid and Money was offered to revitalize the nation away from Slavery. In total an aid package worth an estimated 1 Billion was formally authorised. The Vetakans tried to refrain from just giving money to Strator instead the package sponosored and aided the Strator People more directly such as offering start up packages for small buisness and what not. The Vetakan Aid Package also approved building Schools, Infrastructure, training packages and various other things. Vetakan Advisors where also working with Strator to slowly move the nation as a whole away from Slavery. Everything Vetaka was doing was geared to wards Strator Slavery Abolishment.

The Vetakan Military had decided to also support the local Strator Law Enforcement in the south east. Rather than have the police as a neutral entity in the area it was decided that Vetaka would support them. Vetakan Patrols would actively patrol jointly with Strator Police and Vice Versa. Strator Police could fight crime knowing that they had the highly armed Vetakan Military to back them up in their moves.

damn... better luck next time THE MASKED PHANTOM SHALL STRIKE AGAIN

OOC/IC(I can't decide):

anyhow, why can't we all just be chums here and let me manage my country however I want, I followed the terms, and there are no terms saying that I had to stop the slave trade. So why is it that all of you are invading my country again? nevermind, I guess I shall have to send suicide bomber into the UN. I do not think it will do anything but it will be an excuse to do something I have wanted to do for a while. aight then, I guess I am going to have to make new surrendering terms?

There are terms now telling you to stop the slave trade, they're written on the business end of a millions-strong battalion of men. Not so fun when it's your human rights being danced on, is it?

I don't like dancing, I DON'T DANCE!

Subject: Slave Trade

While we do not wish to see these people eexectued or sold as slaves, we have a solution that works for everyone.

Instead of capital punishments the convicted prisoners work at a low pay job in Strator.

That way, they can support their families and be garunteed fair treatment.

The problem we had with slavery is that 1) families of the convicted are unable to support themselves and 2) it is impossible to regulate standards for the felons in the dozens of nations that bought them.

Thus, our plan solves both those issues while actually helping your economy.

***To Coalition of Nations against Strator Slave Trade***




We believe, that since Strator's Government seems to feel indifferent to our threats, and does not wish to end its vile business, that the Wanderjarian Luftwaffe should be allowed to bomb its Government Centers and Military Facilities until it succombs. Some may view this as a harsh step. I however, knowing from the United State's actions in the late 1990s against Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and in its missions in Kosovo, that a mass bombing campaign can in fact make an opposing Government act as you wish. I shall bomb him until he cries "Uncle" so to speak. What say you?


~Lord Governor Christoph Baker of the Socialist Commonwealth of Wanderjar
(OOC: In 1999 I believe it was, the United States bombed Iraq so that it would cease its attempts at building missile silos. The US also bombed Kosovo that same year to end a genocide occuring there. It was very effective. After two weeks of bombing Iraq, and a month of Kosovo, both sides did as we wanted them to)

RE:


I would rather avoid civillian casualties, so the assault is out. I still maintain that a bombing campaign against Government and Military centers is the best option. Tomahawk Cruise missiles are fine, as long as they are directed only at Government or Military installations.

radio to~Lord Governor Christoph Baker of the Socialist Commonwealth of Wanderjar


sounds ok to us please feel fre to refeul and arm on our 2 carriers and is it posible for you to clear a beach head for the first ambpbious assault group

the goldragons campain comenced at the same time holtz said men to his troops to day we go inn anger to libarate a people i beg you please be merciful to thier civilains but show no mercy to thier armed forces no surrender the vido speach ended the troop ship powershaead to the enmy beach escored by an enire airwing from the aircraft carrier justice

Admiral Fredrick Baumer, of Wanderjarian Battlegroup at Strator, began calling all fighters and bombers to stations. They were briefed on targets, and began to take off.


Sixty F/A-18 Fighter Bombers took to the skies, flying in formation over Strator. These engaged using smart bombs Government buildings, such as their Capital Building, and other such buildings which members of Government were associated with, such as Congressional buildings, and intelligence departments. Further, airports were bombed, as were army bases and other military installations of all types, which Wanderjarian sattellites identified and showed to the pilots via their HUD (Heads Up Display).


Battleships launched Tomahawk Cruise missiles at the enemies Naval Bases, and also several more at enemy Airfields and bases. The idea of these mass bombings was obvious, to completely destroy the enemies meager but prevalent ability to make war, and also completely destabilize their Government. The Slave Trade areas were avoided ironically. The reasoning for this however was quite obvious, the Wanderjarians did not wish civillian and innocent deaths. Bombing these places would cause just this, so they were not attacked. Strator's Government would have two options, wait out the far superior forces, or surrender.


At night, F-88 Stealth Bombers would take off from the aircraft carrier and continue the raids. There would be no peace. From Wanderjar itself B-3 Bombers, advanced stealth bombers, would run continous attacks on the nations Government centers and military bases as well.


The only reprieve from the hell that was the Wanderjarian Air Campaign would be surrender and submssion.

Official Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: All Nations currently involved within Strator Affair
From: VDF High Command

The Dominion of Vetaka calls for international restraint in the Strator Affair. The Dominion of Vetaka is attempting to halt any further bloodshed. We are providing aid to Strator to enable Strator to self abolish the act of Slavery. Should Strator refuse to continue to take the right course of action and revert to its previous activities The Dominion of Vetaka will not allow our friend Wagdog's efforts to be in vein. The Dominion of Vetaka will respond accordingly.

Yours Dominion of Vetaka President Roxanne Wright.

While The Grand Republic of Adamta is not looking for a fight we wish to help abolish the slave trade. We are on Vetaka's side, to let the people of Strator stop slavery with out bloodshed.

That being said if things take a turn for the worst we have B-2's and B-52's standing by.

To Mcpsychoville:

I will follow the terms. But I reserve the rights to return the death penalty to these crimes, and I "Humbly" request for compensation for the loss of business. I hope you find these to be alright, will you be kindly removing your brutish goons from my country now?

No. The death penalty term is acceptable, as we have stated previously that it is a perfectly viable option. However, the notion that we would renumerate you for "loss of business" is laughable, and warrants little more than a flat refusal - that said, if your nation has any legitimate business, we would be happy to look into providing finance for them through the sale of stock and such. After all, we are all capitalists are heart; call it a little quid pro quo.

The majority of the Second Unit will leave your shores within a fortnight - however, a small peacekeeping force WILL remain to ensure that the slave trade does not begin again. Furthermore, while we recognise that we do not have any power to prevent you having diplomatic relations with other nations, we would advise you to think very closely about your ties with Dictator Tyler Van Stone. It is apparent that those who live by the sword will die by the sword, and if and when there comes a new revolution, you may regret the side you picked.

OOC: Hello? An internationaly and more importantly a Strator recognised Occupation Peacekeeping force is already deployed in the southeast? I have a Naval Battle Fleet, a 12,000 man force and an air force in the southeast of Strator. Ive already begun providing aid. The slave trade will not continue.

OOC: Think about in character-wise. We've only just encountered your nation, that and the lul-worthy thread with the Fighting Stars. We don't trust that you can keep order - does "if you want something done properly, do it yourself" ring any bells? Besides, why are you providing aid? And anyway, you have control of the South-East; what about the rest of the country?

OOC: Damn TFS lol. I understand. Im providing aid as part of my commitments to my Anti-Slavery Conference. Im in the south east mainly to remind Mr Strator not to piss about. Perhaps yoy could deploy to the north could lead to some good RP between us?

Response to Vetaka:


The Bombs will continue to fall until Stratorian surrender. I apologize my Commonwealth Brother, but this is the only way I can see any outcome worth our interest, namely the end of slavery.

OOC: I control the southeast...

We would appreciate it greatly if you would hold off on your airborne assault for the time being, at least until we find something that requires bombing. At the moment, there is a Vetakan force of 15,000 in the southeast, a taskforce of 110,000 of our own troops occupying the north and a Silver Star force of unknown size also in the south. An aerial assault, while we understand your reasoning behind it, would be a very dangerous course of action. While we have no wish for violence to occur, any attacks on McPsychovillian-controlled territory without a significant body of evidence will result in some form of retaliation; our troops have been ordered not to fire on Wanderjarian aircraft unless it becomes necessary. Considering your goal is ostensibly the end of slavery, bombing Strator would be contrary to your aims insofar that it would harm the already tenuous relations between the occupying nations and the people of Strator.

I cannot undo what I have already destroyed, but no more bombs shall fall until necessary. He has, however, seen what my forces can do, so he has 72 hours to dismantle his slave trade, or I shall renew my assaults.


(OOC: Strator, post what damage I caused you after that massive assault, and take this in mind as to your future actions for your Government as far as the Slave trade goes.)

To everybody:

damn... I already said I would stop the slave trade. The compensation was a request not a requirment, AND GOD DAMNIT DON'T BOMB MY COUNTRY UNLESS YOU WANT PROVERBIAL NUKES GOING UP YOUR PROVERBIAL POSTERIOR... heh heh, proverbial.

To Vetaka:

get you foreign "aid" the hell out of my country.

To Wanderjar:

The bombs destroyed parts of sectors G17,18 and 19 and destroyed a small part of the adjacent sector H5. That is approximately 20 square kilometer that has to be seriously repaired and is 47,500 killed and 139,000 injured or missing.

I had already surrendered and given up the slave trade before you had bombed so I guess that means I do not like you very much...

OOC: Why? Not like its dangerous?

OOC: I rp a ruthless dictator, I do not want the idea of there being countries which have freedom in them getting into the minds of the people.
BTW, can we all bomb Wanderjar for bombing me after I gave up the slave trade...

OOC: Fair enough. If you Wanderjar you risk War with myself and the rest of the Dominion Commonwealth

Alright fine, I was just hoping that you guys would sypathise with me for having many people in my nation dying for no reason.

IC:

To Wanderjar:

I will not go to war with you over this but I do expect money for repairs of damage done in this attack, JUST MONEY, I hope we can get this done in a very civilised manner.

RE: Strator



I shall pay nothing. You are lucky I did not destroy more. If the others wish to contribute money to your nation, this is good and I respect them all the more as a result. I however feel no remorse.


Good day to you,


~Lord Governor Christoph Baker

To Wanderjar:

I hope you want the words "he felt no remorse" placed on your epitaph.
I would suggest you try and kill me now, because soon enough you will find your head dangling over the edge of you city hall. You may have one for now, but I will strike swift and hard when the opportunity comes, your last moments will be a living hell. I could have used bio-warfare or nukes, but I decided to be calm and just take the pill, it will be the last time I am going to make that mistake...

and you can shove your good day right up your arse

GOOD NIGHT TO YOU!

To occupying countries:

Now that I have stopped the slave trade, can you remove your troops from my nation.

Official Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: Strator
From: Vetakan Foreign Affairs

I request that you allow the Vetakan Peacekeeping force to remain in your nation. I would be prepared to allow Strator soilders to join the Vetakan Military on its operations and even allow a Joint Command between Vetaka and Strator. Vetaka is not in your southeast sector to ensure you comply we are here to rebuild your nation and help your people. Strator I have no care for yourself or your damn political agenda both domestically and internationally all I care for is your people. Should you still require us to leave we will consult with the International Community and make a decsion from their. Again we care not for you or your politcal agenda we care for your people and their needs.

Yours Dominion of Vetaka President Roxanne Wright

To Mrs. Wright:

I am fine with you staying to do whatever rebuilding you want, but what I want to know is if I still have to keep my military from battle! I am required to send reinforcements to my allie, Mr. VanStone.

"Greetings citizens and comrades the world over. I'm Poliana Bárique," croons a professionally-yet-revealingly dressed Latina anchorwoman "And this is WIBC Evening News." She adjusts her papers before glancing doe-eyed up at the camera, turning on her full charm.
Aigletia Harbor, Shoe Island, Socialist State of Shoenesia, Wagdog; v/o by Poliana:
The returning fleet from off of Strator is steaming into harbor, its duties done. "The return of First Fleet from operations in support of our former occupation responsibilities in the Dominion of Strator, taken up now by our friends in the Dominion of Vetaka, marks the official end of our country's military involvement in the Strator Affair. Further word of our diplomatic contribution to the Pearce International Anti-Slavery Summit shall be given as it is received. For now, all that we here at WIBC have to say is our heartfelt gratitude to the servicemembers of Seventh Army, Seventh Air Force, First Fleet and First Marine Division for their sacrifice and valor in defense of freedom. And to Vetaka, for assisting us so kindly in discharging our shared responsibilities as free peoples to that end, whether abroad or at home; as is now the case for us in our struggle against New Nicksyllvania alongside our co-belligerents in the Lone Alliance."
View of a row of new warships, notably including 1 each of new Ul'yanovsk and Kiev class carriers, 2 new Kirov class nuclear cruisers, 2 new Ivan Rogov assault ships, and various escorts.
"As soon as the sailors and marines of First Fleet have rested from their hard campaign, they shall also receive new warships to be commissioned later this week; in a private military ceremony, for reasons of operational security due to the ongoing struggle against the imperialists of New Nicksyllvania. May they rest well, and then battle on always unto Victory. Good evening all, Sports news shall follow after this momentary commercial break. I'm Poliana Bárique, and this is WIBC News."
