Gallia, Toopoxican held Mediterranica

It was an unseasonably warm winter with many of the carnival goers having stripped down their jumpers and shirts now wearing them around their waists, as unexpected as the warmth was the sudden throwing of a carnival, perhaps brough on by Supreme Minister Du'Fonts arrival. Children laughed on the green field as Du'Font and his guardsmen made their way up to the Governors Estate overlooking this large Town.
IndentDu'Font slowly managed his way up the stairs of the archaic building, it was warmer than most old buildings but it had kept the old ununiformed brickwork and arrow slits, finally Du'Font made it into the room he had been seeking and managed to collpase onto the comfortable sofa.
Indent"Governor Raexe." He nodded at the official sitting in the chair behind the desk.
Indent"Sir, as Governor of Gallia I welcome you to a colon-" He was interupted by Du'Font holding a hand to the air.
Indent"Spare me the pleasantries, I appointed you and I know your skills, which is why I am here." Du'Font seemed to be in an increasing amount of pain, Raexe shuffled in his chair wondering whether to help the old man. "I've so far managed to keep it a secret that I'm dying, but that won't hold." Raexe's heart dropped suddenly.
Indent"Sir?" He asked.
Indent"It's true, this is why i'm here, i'm giving back what I have taken, the though of imminent death has opened my eyes, I want you to re-establish the Republic, Raexe." Du'Font snapped at the morose Governor who thought over the potential backlash of Du'Fonts death.
Indent"Yes sir." He quickly responded, "Of course sir, I'll get started immediatly, would you like me to keep this secret?" He asked, it would have been unusual in any other conversation but this was different, this was Toopoxican affairs.
Indent"No Governor, I want the people to know and to be free at last." Raexe couldn't quite believe his ears, of course given enough restrictions this proposal might actually work for the better of Toopoxia, he mulled it over in his mind.

Redvoyk, Eastern Smorrgian Territory

IndentThe still lit ciggerette butt lit the ground 3 inches from its tip until all light faded after the size 10's of the soldier stubbed it out, they were a rough bunch, dirtied from lack of washing and tired from lack of sleep, such was life in the military. It was only a small unit, 10 or 20 tops, they seemed all reasonably lazy, some leaning on the A16 Assult Rifles and others picking their noses through a cloud of ciggy smoke.
IndentLight suddenly illuminated the position 2 miles down the road and the soldiers jumped into position, the Sniper ran up to his small tree outpost and the rest of the soldiers quickly got into an easily defendable hidden position whilst the three on gate duty stood out to stop whatever was coming up the road. A convoy appeared out of the thick dust cloud, three Smorrgian military men walked out and joined the three already standing at the gates.
Indent"Captain Alexandrovic Renkrov, due for deployment, here are my and my squads deployment papers." The Captain who had walked out the vehicle saluted, he handed over the collection of papers for authorisation by Gate Captain Lukov.
Indent"Alright these are in order." Lukov said as he slightly turned to see one of the van riders point out the Sniper to another man.
IndentThe two men saluted once more and the convoy was on its way again, men slowly returned from foxholes to pick up card games and continue now unlit ciggys.
Indent"Officer Brokov, this is the third deployment in as many hours, find out what you can from HQ." Captain Lukov ordered throwing another stubb to the ground.

Volitaia City Center, Toopoxia

A day for international mourning had turned into a day of celebration for most, Du'Font was dead and although some had seen him as tyrannical and despoic many agreed that given the circumstances of his rise to power he was needed. But the parties on the streets were not in celebration of his death but in the celebration of the Republic.
IndentToopoxia had a long tradition of grand republics which had left the population with rather a love for this change in direction, even the Organisation had cause to celebrate this goverment.
IndentDecadent displays of wonder had been sported over the ancient architecture of the Volitaia Kingdom, the sun beemed down and elated the spirits of the people as the TV showed the same images the public announcement of both Du'Fonts death and the rise of the Republic announcing elections in March.
IndentOf course with the celebrations also came those who unwelcomed the change, fighting their way through crowds and pledging their support for radical extremes, beleiving it was King Mikhainus IV's turn to rule this fair land, a return to Smorrgian dominance.

Smorrgograd, Kings Palace

King Mikhainus watched the announcement with close interest, eagerly plotting his mechanicisms in his mind, Toopoxia was weak, it always had been, it was just never weak enough for Smorrg to exploit, but circumstances had changed, Smorrg was entering its golden age and had allies across the globe.
IndentThe attack would have to be quick, but also calculated, already he had forces moving up to the border with Neo-Erusea, but now he had to get those forces through into Volitaia.

****

Alexandrovic had only just arrived in his deployment zone and his men had started building their camps, not expecting an enemy force they constructed a campfire to keep warm and some had started to chant merrily. Alex walked over to see whether the Radio was receiving any further orders.
Indent"Anything?" He asked, the radio sergeant shook his head slowly wanting to keep concentration on the many radio signals.
IndentHe paused and then held up his hand, "Captain, listen!" He ordered shoving a headset into the Captains chest.
IndentAlex placed the thin equipment onto his head and heard immediatly the shouting sounds of General Granovic in his head, "Eastern Front soldiers, you have been given a designated set of co-ordinates on your maps, report in with your unit codes and then proceed to these areas." Alex quickly ripped out his map and looked at the co-ordinates scrawled in red pen, it was Erusean territory.
Indent"This is Alpha Lemur Niner, confirming codes and moving out." He shouted back, placing the headset back onto the desk and walked out to the campfire, "Gather your things we're moving out!" He shouted over the bustle of the squad.

(OOC: OOC linkies to come soon, Erusea, it's in your court now, I'll send forces into help fight them off but it's all a part of a kikass tactic)

(OOC: Wait up a second there. Not that there's any problems with invasion, but if Smorrg's trying to get to you, he's going to charge through a nation that spends more than 9 trillion on defense? Meh... I'll go along I guess.)

IC:

Neo-Erusean - Smorrgian border
"Eh? What the hell!" Captain Sasha Kirov of the Republican guard looked up at the bustling activity across the border. Smorrgia had been building up its forces along the border, that much wasn't going on unnoticed, and the government had sent a few extra brigades to reinforce it. "Oh please," said Kirov, "tell me they're just doing some damn exersice."
"Sir, we got Smorrgians scrambling across the border. Heaven knows what they're up to. Orders?"
"Mobilize everyone, contact Farbanti! And pray for the best soldier!" replied Kirov. He turned smartly on his heel and walked quickly to other officers. Neo-Erusean Republican Guard troops were up and about, grabbing their H&K G3 (http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n220/Neo-Erusea/G3A3.jpg) rifles and RPG-29s. "Jesus Lord..." muttered Kirov, "please oh please let it be just some training mission." The capital city of Farbanti was extremely close to the border and was obviously heavily defended. Troops along the border prepared for the worst as enemy soldiers bustled with activity.

[Naval Base SMJC-I, Jupiter Colony, Skyian held Mediterranica]

Fleet Admiral Jesus Garcia looked over some new information from intelligence, for the past few weeks alot of intell has been focusing around the Corporate Alliance, Blackhelm and Kraven Corporation to be specific, generally pretaining to invasion plans, their movements, the usual.

However for the last few days he had been receiving intelligence folders marked [Top Secret], [Classified], and [Time Sensitive]. Most had been marked to only be opened on a certain date.

Well that day was today, but instead of immediately slicing open the tap and unlocking the case with the classified information, he was greeted at his office with a large stack of deployment orders.

'Ok..., CINDER never mentioned any of these deployments in my daily reports, heck, they're already coming up on Eurasia!' He screamed in his mind, he hated when CINDER did something without notifying him, especially something big in his sector.

Adm. Garcia's sector was the region of Mediterranica, especially the area around where Eurasia and Jupiter Colony were located, the north eastern part of the 'region.

"Whoa, this is weird!" In said outloud with a bit of a shocked expression. 'They're moving an entire armada into the area? And one and half million troops? What for?' He thought he then came to a list of coordinates. 'What the sweet virgin mary? These coordinates aren't even for Eurasia or my colony, they're down near Gallia.'

He cleared the folders from the table and sat them down neatly on his desk, and then something klicked in his mind. He hurriedly grabed the briefcase of secret folders, he looked at the time lock, it had expired the night before.

'I should have thought of this earlier,' He yelled at himself in his mind as he rifled through folders. 'Just as I thought.'

He smirked as he looked over the papers, extensive deployment orders, he was also getting three more Air Force Divisions, quadrupling his number of planes in the area, also, he was authorized to call down forces from Eurasia. Nearly 2 million additional ground troops, 1091 combat ships and 16,282 combat aircraft, including the new ARV-94 Attack/Recon VTOL, had been placed into his theater, and although he was a bit disappointed at not being in charge, he was excited.

His fleet would be at see by the morning, while RADARs, SAM sites and artillery batteries went online.

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

[CINDER-C, Secure Underground Location, The Silver Sky]

A single heavily, heavily encrpyted message was sent to the nations of Whyatica, Novacom, and No Endorse, telling them everything they needed to know, which wasn't much, they had been briefed on this operation for a few weeks now. All they would have to do is hold up their ends of the bargains, send forces, and it'd be a done deal.

Smorrgograd, Kings Palace

"My King." The messenger knelt at the feet of his lord, "Our forces have moved across the border, if all goes to plan then the Toopoxicans will be far too busy assisting their allies."
IndentKing Mikhainus turned away from feeding his fish and smiled at the messenger, "Good, inform our own allies that we plan an invasion of Toopoxia." The Messenger knelt and walked back out of the Kings room, Mikhainus stared at the decadent artwork which surrounded him, it displayed the last Smorrgian King of Toopoxia's victory over the rebels.

****

The Messenger walked through into the Foreign Ministers office and removed his military jacket, "The King asks that a letter be drafted to our allies informing them of the invasion." The foreign minister looked up momenterilly.
Indent"Can you not take on that job, I'm busy trying to prepare for any fallout from our invasion of Erusea." He sighed, life at home had made it hard for him to concentrate on his job proper and this invasion just exacerbated things for him.
Indent"I'll draft the letter myself then, if you should like I could draft a letter to Erusea asking for military passage." The Messenger responded toying with the bust of King Egleski.
Indent"Yes, yes, the letter to our allies, but you need not send a message to Erusea, I've already taken the liberty of doing so." The Minister responded dully, trying to keep a focus on his work.

Diplomatic Letter from Foreign Minister Ruskov to Neo-Erusea.

It is with great regret in our forces moving over the border that we ask for your forgiveness, we have moved these forces in order to fight Toopoxia and we ask that this infraction be ignored in light of our friendly asking for your permission to send forces across your territory into Toopoxia, There is no reason for our two grand nations to be torn asunder by war, hoping for a response soon.

Signed,
Foreign Minister Leon Ruskov of Smorrg

SIC:

Diplomatic Message from Foreign Minister Ruskov to Allies.

To our allies, you have long held suspicion or malice towards the international reprobates of Toopoxica, we would now ask of you that you assist in our struggle to liberate the people of Toopoxica and bring it under the rightful sovreign rule of King Mikhainus.

Signed,

Kominski, Department of Tactical Information

"Sir!" The private shouted over the light rumble of talking, General Yaroslav walked over to the large tactical screen showing the largest movments of the region, "Sir, over there, Neo-Erusea, they're being invaded by Smorrg." The General watched as small forces of men, barely noticible, moved across the border.
Indent"Good job, keep watch!" He replied, the movement was worrying, Smorrg had a long interest in siezing Toopoxia and this just seemed to show yet another invasion attempt, "Comms, put me through to Volitaia Military HQ, raise the alarm!"
IndentA siren blazed momenterally telling all in the office that war was nigh, General Yaroslav grabbed the intercom which was directed at Volitaia, "Lord General Smarz, the Smorrgians have invaded Neo-Erusea, requesting full mobilisation!"

****

Smarz placed the phone back down, he had denied military mobilisation until more was learned about the strike, he marched over to the Regeant Pontifex Office and burst in whilst the Pontifex briefed the Lord Admiral.
Indent"Lord General Smarz, I am not due to brief you until later this day, what brings you here?" Raexe asked, Lord Admiral Briullov had stood to greet the General but now stood fixed in place.
IndentSmarz looked at the Admiral, he held a distrust for the house of Briullov, they seemed above democracy and had a long history of Monarchist patriotism, "Pontifex Raexe, our tactical intelligence shows Smorrgian forces moving into Neo-Erusea, we need to find out more." The Pontifex suddenly turned a pale white, he had not expected war so soon and had really expected an age of peace.
Indent"My Lord, this doesn't involve me, I will leave you with the General now." The Admiral took a bow and left the room, Raexe had nodded him away and went back to his dooming thought over the situation.
IndentSlowly he came round to the situation, "Lord General, mobilise 1 division and have them await orders from Kominski, have a telegram sent to Neo-Erusea asking if they require assistence, inform Admiral Briullov to take steps in watching out for enemy fleet movements near the Volitaia Gulf."
Indent"Yes Sir." Yaroslav nodded and left the room, he didn't trust what the Admiral might do with the situation, whether overnight the nation might lose its fleet, it was simply a petty thought at the moment but still a danger.

Diplomatic Message from Pontifex Reagant Raexe to Neo-Erusea

We understand that you have been invaded by Smorrgian forces, in light of this unwarranted attack we ask if you require military forces to assist in the fight against these warmongers, we can supply a division of fine men to combat if you so require.

Signed,
Pontifex Reagant Raexe.

Several thousand mercenaries along the Toppoxia-Hydac border had been, for some time, without any work to do other than sit their and twiddle their thumbs. Now, finally, they would be given a task. The host government had fallen into a civil war, and by order of the Board of Directors. The first objective, go and meet with the Toopoxian commander in the area and recieve their orders.

Daminski, Blackhelm Mercenary HQ

The wind flapped the trench coat of the old Toopoxican sergeant as he lit a ciggarette with his zippo, he had experiences with the Blackhelm forces having served in the World Soviet Party attacks and as a Military confidant for the Toopoxican Organisation.
IndentNoticing movement behind him he quickly pulled out his PMTMP's and pointed them at the Mercs, sighing he slowly withdrew the weapons, "Ungh, what are you doing out here?" He asked gruffly.

OOC: Thanks. So the war in Hydac is gone? That sucks.

The mercenary commander was one of the few men who were not actually from the Confederacy. Instead, he was from one of the most hated places to the Griffincrest Corporation. He was from Cravan (I hope he doesn't mind). Somehow the Cravan Imperial Military had screwed him over. He was secretive and didn't want to tell people about his past, so nobody really knew what happened, but everybody knew one thing. This guy was one crazy ass motha!@#$%^. His name was Commander Robert T. Cauffield.

Commander Cauffield walked up to the Toopoxican sergeant and held out a manilla folder crammed full of satellite images and other paper work. "It looks like you may need a hand. As a show of good faith between allies, I was ordered here to assist you in whatever way your men need help.

Black took the folders and quickly flicked through, he already knew about the Smorrgian invasion of Erusea, he handed the folders back to the Blackhelmer and stared at the horizon.
Indent"Thanks." Black snidely remarked as he stamped out a ciggy, "But you should really be talking to Lord General Smarz, make your way to Komnski you'll be able to raise him from there." Black stated and picked out another ciggy.

O-club, Naval Base Vulcan

One of the keys to maintaining secrecy is to not give the impression of having any secrets to be kept. As a result, Admiral Brian Johansohn and General Thomas Clark were sitting in the Officers Club in the nation's largest Navy base to discuss their business. Admiral Johansohn commanded the 4th Fleet, stationed here, and General Clark was commander of the Army's base security force, 75,000 men strong, and the two of them had been friends for years. Seeing them together for lunch was nothing unusual, indeed, it'd be unusual to see them eating separately. As a result, there was nobody thinking to overhear their conversation, which wasn't explicit anyhow. Unknown to all but a few, these two men, in addition to their previously mentioned roles, were the heads of Operation Formic, a continuing pan to undermine the 'Corporate Alliance'.

"So they've begun moving," remarked Johanson as he buttered a roll. A personal quirk of his was to eat the breadsticks or rolls prior to the entree.

"Yes, they're in transit. We're in position, but waiting for them to make contact before we do our part," replied Clark in between bites of lasagna. It was a rather good lasagna today, with plenty of meat. The reference was veiled, but simply referred to Smorrgian monarchists' passage through Neo-Erusea before they reached Toopoxia proper. The Commonwealth had promised to support the overthrowal of the Toopoxian republic and destruction of the Toopoxian Organization, not a war with a third party.

"The ELINT we've gotten is rather good, we expect that we can shut down their ah-duh pretty quickly," Clark continued after swallowing. Technically ah-duh, or ADA, only referred to air defense artillery, including SAMs, but it was used often enough to refer to the entire air defense system. The ELINT, Electronic Signals Intelligence, for this was a fairly simple job. Months prior, when this whole deal began to be cooked up, the Air Force had used its White Knight SSTO transports to loft several satellites to provide 24 hour coverage over Toopoxia. These satellites simply sat up there and recorded the frequences, locations, and duration of various bits of electromagnetic radiation. Among those bits were the Toopoxian air defense radars. Not only were the locations of the fixed radars plotted, for their eventual destruction, but from their locations, frequencies, and strengths, a map of the Toopoxian radar coverage, and its holes, cold be made. Furthermore, with the knowledge of the frequencies used by Toopoxia already in their databases, and in the radar warning receivers of Rosdivani aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft would be much more affective at countering their radars.

"Good, good. That'll make the Furies debut a lot easier. Real-time yet?" responded Johansohn casually, having by now polished off his roll and starting in on a small plate of pasta.

"Not yet, it's not needed, though we're monitoring the mobile radars' deployment patterns. Once things start, we'll be getting real time updates on the radar picture. It'll also be expanded somewhat, we'll have UAVs up to give the monarchist artillery and rocket forces the location of ah-duh and counterbattery sets near the front," Clark said, gathering up the last remnants of his lasagna. "How's the wife?" he asked, changing the subject.

"She's good. A bit sad at the deployment, we steam tomorrow, but she's gone through it before. And I'll probably have a desk job soon enough anyhow. How about Sarah, how is she?" Johansohn said, the pasta already in his mouth muffling his words.

They continued their discussion for some time, talking about the more pleasant aspects of life before taking their leave and returning to their duties.

OOC: No, none of you had spies or bugging devices there, just to cut that off at the knees. Army's contribution is, aside from the UAVs, a bunch of ballistic missiles. Think modern conventionally armed versions of the American Pershing II and Russian Iskander, with the decoys, evasive manuevers, and depressed trajectory that modern ballistic missiles have to frustrate attempts at interception. While belonging to Smorrgia, they are under the control of Rosdivani "advisors". They'll be fired at the beginning of the attack on Toopoxia and targeted at mobile radars that are currently up and at fixed radars. Some will also be fired at airfields, using runway penetration submunitions to disable them.

Nationwide the Republican Army had been finished its mobilizing process. Every ground vehicle, from BTR-90's to Air defense vehicles to T-90's to artillery, had warmed its engines and began making its way to the east. T-90 tank crews were swaying their turrets left and right to make sure they were operating properly, and the national alertness level had been raised to Voyska PVO 3. Scud missile launchers were armed and ready, and programed at targets in Smorrg and on Highway 44.

In the port of Farbanti the pride of the Neo-Erusean Republican Navy, the NES Tanager set sail. The Tanager is an Iowa-class battleship, that has constantly undergone renovations and upgrades. The vessel was surrounded by an enormous array of defenses. Destroyer and frigate escorts were constantly checking for submarine threats. Inside their protective bubble were also two Ulyanovsk-class aircraft carriers. An Akula-class SSN was also stalking the waters below the armada. The Tanager sailed majestically with her massive 16 guns proudly elavated at a 40 degree angle.

Back in Farbanti, Premier David Mondol was discussing what should be done about the new Smorrg threat.
"...Suggestions?" asked the Premier.
"Well," began a consul, "what can we do. It seems that all-out war with the Smorrgs is inevitable."
"Nonsense," replied another, "there must be a way around this. Our military is not something that they could just step on. It is enough of a deterrant to deter most nations there are."
"Don't underestimate them!" replied the Premier.
"Sir, I have a suggestion." said the defense minister. "We should give the Smorrg forces safe passage to the north. That way theey can reach their destination, and if they provoke us they will have their forces stretched out in a long, thin line that will be easy to smash."
"I don't know..." said the Premier.
"Sir, it may be the only way to avoid a war."
"Very well." The premier sighed and said, "Send a message to the Smorrgians."

Diplomatic Message to Smorrg

We are aware of your forces that have assembled at our border. We will pardon any intrusions made by the Smorrgian military and in hopes of avoiding conflict we will permit your nation with military tresspassing rights on the northern Highway 44, as to avoid distress and panic among our citizens living in the cities near the coast.

Quickly reading on to see whether his part in the conflict was a success, the smile returned along with Leons colour, it was good news quickly he drafted a response.

Smorrgograd, Toopoxican Embassy

The Toopoxican Embassy guardsmen stood outside the embassy as cool as the warm summers breeze, although all hell was going down inside the building they didn't care, that was the beaurocrats problem not theirs, however those not on gate duty had been ushered inside to help shred documents.
Indent"You hear the Smorrgian football team beat us one nil." One guard asked the other, his face a somber style as he broke the bad news.
Indent"Aye." The guardsman responded, "Terrible shame." He added in order to keep the small talk rolling not noticing the pinprick red dot appear on his neck.
Indent"UGH!" He cried as a bullet pierced his neck, the other guard had barely enough time to notice when a bullet hit his neck too, a squad of about 20 Smorrgian Guards made themselves known to the crowd of citizens who reacted slightly in fear but for the most part ran for their homes and away from the embassy.

****

Inside the embassy there was a massive whirlwind of papers as the Ambassador dominated the area pointing people in which documents should be shredded and which should be taken onboard the awaiting transport helicopters.
Indent"Shred these documents, then shred that shredder!" He cried out as his aide walked over and tapped the stressed Ambassador on the shoulder, "What!" He furiously asked.
Indent"Sir, reports from Toopoxia, the Smorrgians have abandoned their embassy!" He shouted above the noise of the room, the ambassador suddenly went quite glum, he knew this was the ultimate death sentence for peace and very soon the embassy would be beseiged.
Indent"Oh-" he started but was interupted as glass and plaster filled the room, soldiers burst in and caught the unarmed guardsmen by surprise, they pushed all the embassy staff to the ground and held them there as prisoners.

"Lord General!" Smarz had just made it into the Military office and was being constantly harrassed about the latest situation, "Intercepted communication suggests the Eruseans have allowed Smorrgian forces rights of passage!" Smarz didn't mind this information, it was useful.
IndentDespite not minding the information he was disturbed by this change of events, "Quickly, no time to breif the defence forces have them be ready to intercept anything passing over the Erusean border!" He ordered, the second invasion of Toopoxia by Smorrg had began now.

Neo-Erusea, Highway 44, Toopoxican Border

More soldiers rushed to the gate placing another PNPAG heavy machine gun onto the stockades, Commander Perolschev had a PNPAG slung over shoulder and was toting it around the encampment trying to inspire enthusiasm amongst the gate guards.
IndentPerolschev felt the scratch upon his face and reminded himself why and how it'd been done, he had a lot of due reason to dislike the Smorrgians and as he scanned the beautiful mountainous horizon he felt the anger somewhat boil over.

****

As with most Smorrgian invasions, the front runners were the Commandoes, elite soldiers designed to take out enemy encampments and free the movement of the rest of the armed forces.
IndentThis deployment was not unusual, having armed the Elites with only a laser pen and a sidearm, it was called painting and so far the Commandoes hadn't been spotted, a thankful boon upon them it seemed.
IndentThe roar of jet planes lifted the spirits of the Commandoes who began a slow crawl back whilst keeping the lasers pointed at the gates, the jets flew over spouting off at least 20 missiles, the thickly plumed smoke running off the rockets as they descended into the gate.
IndentSuddenly as the rockets neared the gates they were picked right from the skies by the blue haze of the THEL tower just behind the gates, the Commandoes cursed and fell to plan B whilst they were behind cover, "ATTACK!"

Indent"My Lord." Briullov looked over at the meek Admiralty Commander, "The vessels and captains you requested have been deployed, they await your command." He stated and Briullov let the words wash over him, the Republic may have removed the dynasty from history but now Briullov would remove the Republic from earth.
Indent"Have our fleets blockade the Republican ports!" He ordered and watched as the Commander shuffled away to do the Lord Admirals duty, if they were unsuccssesful quickly then the Admiralty would likely be brough to their knees.

Sergeant Joseph Weber sat in the cab of the transporter erector launcher, waiting for the countdown to finish. There were two ways the one could tell he was a Rosdivani advisor and not a Smorrgian soldier. The first was that he was quite busily tapping at a PDA that was standard for all of the Rosdivani advisors. It contained his current mission orders, target location, and other such necessities. About fifteen minutes ago, using the secure low-power Bluetooth capability of the PDA and the missile on the TEL, he had loaded the target location into the missile. All the missile needed now was the launch command. At the moment he was playing Missile Command to make it look like he was busy and not to be bothered, the irony of the game not occurring to him.

The second way you could tell he was a Rosdivani advisor is that his uniform was of a different make and had the Rosdivani flag on it.

The PDA beeped, quit him out of Missile Command without saving to his everlasting annoyance, and displayed one message in large letters, with a truly obnoxious font and color choice ("To grab your attention" as it had been explained to him by his instructor). "OPERATION BEGINS" Hopping out of the cab, he started yelling at the Smorrgian soldiers nearby to get out of the way and get the next missile ready for loading onto the TEL, punctuating his commands with wild gesticulations. Returning to the cab, he tapped thrice onto the PDA. With a low rumble, the TEL brought the intermediate range ballistic missile to its firing position. With a much louder roar and rumble, said missile fired, leaving a smoky trail in the sky. All over the sky, as far as he could see, bright moving lights and sooty contrails marked the beginning of the invasion. Within a thousand mile radius of the front, Toopoxican radars and airfields had been targeted for destruction, to leave the Smorrgian forces free and unmolested, as well as to leave things clear for the aircraft carriers that would arrive in a few days time.

Al Miny Airbase, Al Miny

"Sir, we have lost contact with Tauntillis Airbase!" Amidst the panicked sounds of radar beeps and shouting from different sources the base Commander only faintly heard the bad news from the officer, besides his attention was being trained on other such events, news was leaking in about the blockading of Toopoxican ports by their own, and the attack on the Toopoxican embassy.
IndentThe whole base was unknowing of the MRBM heading their way, infact if they were paying attention to the array of airbases and radars going offline then they would have seen a pattern, the radar base at Banini Sulief went offline and just a minute later the radar base was wiped off the earth.

****

Kominski, Department of Tactical Information

Lord General Smarz placed the radio back onto the receiver, he had seen the pattern and wanted to warn the remaining Radar bases to get out, unfortunantly it was too late for them, but not too late for a response, "Do we have an approximate location?" He asked.
Indent"Yes sir, we beleive from the trajectory of the missiles that the launch site was somewhere in South Western Smorrg, if we are to respond we must do so quickly lest they move and fire again!" The tactical advisor responded, his face bristled with sweat.
Indent"Okay, I want CK Missiles fired at all possible targets from Redvoyk to Zolmyr, I also want Spies deployed in Toopoxica and Proistylvania!" Smarz ordered to which the staff responded by ordering the launch of the missiles and the rousing of Air brigades to move over to Smorrgian territory.

(OOC: CK Missiles, filled with Cyanogen Chloride gas which can penetrate the filters in gas masks, extremely deadly and potent.)

Volitaia Gulf, Rebel Monarchist Control

The horizon was aflame and the sounds of the water crashing upon the coast had been replaced by the loud sharp sounds of fire being exchanged from either side of the gulf, the whole area had been in a state of turmoil for about 2 hours now, since the Admiralty had announced its treachery at least.
IndentThe Loyalist forces, who had been purposefully removed from active combat, had quickly mobilised their forces in order to lift this treacherous blockade.
IndentThe PNS Volitaia IV wheeled around, as the largest of the vessels and the flagship in this conflict, it was attracting the most fire, several fighters were buzzing about above the flagship as it sat peacefully on the red water which reflected the fire giving an orange hue to the Battleship.
IndentThe Smorrgian Royal Fleet had just made it through the Erusean coastline and were now harrassing the southern Loyalist forces who had broken through the blockade and were now working their way upwards.

Naibe, Docking District

There was the shout of patriotic Marines charging up the beaches and onto the Industrial plinthes, met immediatly by the sounds of heavily prepared Loyalist Republican forces, Naibe was of great tactical importance and the Republic was not about willing to lose it so easily.
IndentCivilians fled as the conflict escalated, Republic forces had managed to move forwards up to the coastline but there were consequences in the amount of lives lost so far, it would only be time until another missile storm was launched against the Toopoxicans.
Neo-Erusea
25-03-2007, 23:58
Hell has broken loose west of Neo-Erusea. Nervous men of the Republican Guard stood guard, fully armed with their G3 rifles and the RPG-29 rockets. Multiple ZSU-23-4 vehicles arrived on the seen, with their 4 23mm cannons raised at an angle, and their radars turning on and off. It was a Neo-Erusean stragegy to avoid HARM and related missiles by illuminating radars on and off. The missile would target a radar signal but that signal would disappear, the target would then move, and illuminate elsewhere. Another tactic pratised by the SAM sites would be to have a single radar on and wait until an aircraft is identified, and when it come within range, the rest of the SAM's would illuminate and fire the missiles in a very lethal SAM trap.

T-90 tanks made their way to the border at about 40 miles an hour, some of them trailing Smorrg forces closly behind. One tank commander stood up in his vehicle and even waved at the Smorrg soldiers. He could not tell if they had waved back. The Smorrg forces were crossing the border and starting to fight. The T-90 tanks stayed on the highway and unknowingly they unintentionally cut off the Smorrg's only path of retreat.

Kominski, Neo Erusea Border Gates

The Toopoxicans were dug in heavily, fortunate it seemed that the Lord general had arrived with his own regiment otherwise the gate would have already been lost.
IndentAlready the THEL had been hit by deep striking Commando forces who had somehow managed to slip by, it was damaged but still operational, this hadn't stopped a second Smorrgian wave of missiles from hitting the nearby airfield.
IndentBlack pulled forces up from the entrenched position in this near quiet, there were still some gunshots but they were quite far away, although a few shots had narrowly missed his extremities making him pray that he was going to be paid well for this action. Black could see tanks on the horizon, but they weren't Smorrgian, he pulled out his binoculars and looked at the Erusean soldier wave at the Smorrgian forces, it was about that time he realised just how far from Toopoxia the team had gotten, they were in Erusea and from what Black had just seen this was now to be considered enemy territory.

26-03-2007, 00:30
The Erusean Republican Army was now fully in place and had completely blocked off all paths of retreat by Smorrg forces. If they didn't make it there would be no turning back for them. The Republican Guard was tracking major clusters of Smorrg troops with Scud missiles.

The Tanager sailed west along with her fleet to act as a presence near the border. Her 16 inch guns underwent maintanence checks before she set sail, and everyone in the fleet was itching to see her fire upon some random vessel that strayed in Neo-Erusean waters. X-02 Wyvern fighters had taken off and were patroling the skies above the fleet. The Tanager was the pride of the Republican Navy and every precaution was taken not to lose her.

The battle at sea was not going as well as could have been planned, for either side, with a secure battle line in the South of the Volitaian gulf the Republic had managed to fight off the Smorrgian battleships for the most part who had now peeled off to repair and regroup.
IndentThe Northern Loyalist incursions had come to no success and forces had pretty much held at a stalemate, the Monarchist traitors knew that there line of retreat was cut off if they did not succeed in safely securing Naibe and that if the Erusean fleet got involved then the Monarchists would be ruined before they had started.

The drydocks had been secured under Monarchist control and the Admiralty HQ was safe, the Briullov family had been transported out to sea, but the fight was not yet over, many of the civilians at the Port City now poured out onto the streets to fight to Monarchist Marines.

Volitaia Gulf, Rebel Monarchist Control

The situation had reached a stalemate for the Republicans, they were unable to make any headway North and were only capable of defending Monarchist assults, unable to deploy marines to help fight for Naibe they were simply securing the area.
IndentPower seemed to have quickly transferred to Admiral Brolschev who had been busy fortifying this position and trying to keep in radio contact with Volitaia, the situation was difficult with Radar coverage having been crippled and the chain of command torn asunder.
IndentA message suddenly brought Brolschev to attention and drew him towards the radio, "Response to the Cortellens, this is Admiral Brolschev, it's good to hear a friendly voice at last, can I ask who I am talking to?" He asked but then remembered he had more important things to say, "we cannot afford to sacrifice any vessels to escort your ships but we would be willing to allow a troop landing within friendly waters."

After a quick time loading, as fast as the Cortellen military could make it. 25 F-22 Raptors took off from Cortellen air bases to escort 30 Spirit Bombers to the landing zone. They flew towards the area after hooking up and hoped the escorts would be there by the time they got there. By the time they had reached the water south east of Cortellen 25 more Raptors had taken off and were linking up with 30 A-10 Thunderbolts who would act to soften up what ever resistance remained. They were about 20 minutes behind the first group. 10 minutes behind them came the last group, 20 fully loaded Hercules transports with 20 more A-10 Thunderbolts and a Raptor escort numbering 50 fighters. In the air ground crews in the leading Hercules prepared to quickly make a landing strip. The plan was to air drop an advance force with these ground crews and create a landing strip to allow the Hercules to land so they could offload the armor.

Sergeant Weber was going out of his mind. The one thing that no one ever mentioned about NBC gear was that all the rubber made it incredibly hard to scratch through. And right now his left leg was itching like crazy, and he just couldn't deliver a decent scratch through it. On the other hand, he supposed it was worth it. Itches are immensely preferable to dying messily from some chemical. His unit hadn't been hit, but he'd heard through the rumor mill that a couple units had been caught by the Toopoxican retaliation. Everyone was taking shoot and scoot real seriously these days as a result. Which we ought to do right now he thought as his TEL rumbled again. One more radar site to find out what thousands of titanium pellets at Mach 8 can do. Swinging the wheel around, and stomping on the gas, he began driving to their new location.

The fleet was sailing westward towards the center of the Volitaia Gulf. The Tanager was stationed at the center of the enormous formation of destroyers, frigates, corvettes, cruisers, and an aircraft carrier, the NES Geofron. A flight of X-02 Wyvern aircraft patrolled the skies above the fleet while an Akula SSN stalked the waters below. The pilots soon picked up the incoming Rosdivan fleet. The Erusean pilots were seasoned veterans from wars that have occured before, yet most of them had to teach themselves to fly and these are in other words the survivors of air conflicts who have become aces. Only a few were ever held back to train future fighter pilots, while the rest remained in service. The X-02 Wyverns were not equipped to combat a fleet so they called back to the Tanager. In turn older Mirage F1 planes were being readied at land bases with Exocet missiles.

Tanager had kept her guns held up proudly as to display her power to the fleet. The massive 16 inch guns were blazing in the sun, and the crew of the mighty ship continued amongst their business. Admiral Ivan Gorkov was at command in the vessel. He was standing up in the bridge of the ship, when the silence was broken by a radio operator.
"Admiral." exclaimed the man, "our fighters have detected a fleet of Rosdivan origin."
"Rosdivan?" asked Gorkov.
"Affirmitave sir. The Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan. We are currently unaware of their intentions."
"What is their heading?"
"I don't know sir our fighters haven't informed us of that yet. I'm sorry skipper."
"Well then contact the Geofron. We need to know where those ships are heading."
"Aye sir!"
