The diplomacy in the Shalrirorchia conflict was anything but diplomatic. Several tense days passed as the two nations, Terre Internationale and Siriusa eyed each other distrustfully. After several failed attempts at negotiation, Siriusa has declared war upon the opposing nation.

Tenarius, Siriusa:
The capital buzzed with activity. War had not been declared yet, but preparations had been underway for quite a while. Siriusa's economy was ready to go to war, as they had been preparing for Hataria, but now they had a different target.

"Sir?" A short man dressed in military garb asked. He had been summoned to the Chief Commander's office. He did not know the meaning of this meeting. "Are we ready to move against Hataria?"
"No," said Chief Commander Horatio Chamberlain, a tall, lanky man. "We will avoid hostilities with Hataria. They are no longer a menace to us, as Ezaltia is occupying their main battle force. They would have no reason to come here and attack us."
"Permission to ask why I am here, Sir."
The Commander looked away, off into the distance and out the window. He didn't bother to grant the other man permission. Rather, he just explained. "Approximately three minutes, the Prince will issue a declaration of war on national television. This war is not with Hataria, but with Terre Internationale. In less than one day's time we will launch our offensive against them." He turned back to face the man. "Lieutenant Colonel Roberts, your job is to fully mobilize the national army and make sure they are ready to leave Siriusa in twenty-four hours' time."
Roberts nodded.
"You're dismissed."
The short officer left the office. He had never really known what it was like to have too much to do in too little time, but now he knew.


Igerian Mountains, Siriusa
Spring was here in the mountains in northern Siriusa, and th snow was beginning to melt. The military base hidden in the mountain range was already prepared for war by the time the declaration came. The short runways, made especially for the Su-47's short takeoff/landing, were cleared of snow. Half of the 100 thousand troops stationed there were already prepared to leave the mountains and head towards the coast where they would rendezvous with the army from the rest of Siriusa.


All they needed now was to wait and see what the government of Terre Internationale in response.




OOC: TI, would you mind providing me a map of your nation (or give me an idea of its RL equivalent)? That would help me understand your situation better.

To others: This is a closed thread, and it's just for practice, as both TI and myself have agreed we need at least a little experience in RPing before we really take part in something huge.

Little did the Sirusa goverment know that the NIN had gotten two operatives into the military. With the Terre Nationale's advanced information of the attack their preparations were incredibly easy. One thousand TC-M1 AAAs, each having 8 9M311s, all ready to fire. Along with this hundreds of thousands of high-caliber rounds spitting towards any incoming fighters. The pride and joy of the Nationalist Army's anti-aircraft units, the five hundred 9K38 Buk-M1-2, a total of two thousand, highly effective, 9K37 SAM Missiles. The entirety of the Nationalist Airforce, all ninety-one MiG-29s scrambled towards the oncoming enemy fighters {How many?}.

The eight million citizens that lived withen the enormous mountain city of Liberte' where ready, withen their large bunkers. The two million citizens oustide of Liberte' in Holzagel were rushed into the mountain city, filling the bunkers to maxium capacity.
~~~
"Alright, troops!" The veteran Second Leiutenant, Bruce Leo, yelled to his troops, over the rush of Nationalist citizens coming to safety. His platoon, the 1st in B company, were consisted of a hundred troops, seventy-three of them veterans of the ordeal in Greston. "Our mission, if it comes to that, is to clear any and all debri from any and all collapse sites!" All his troops shouted in unision, 'yes, sir.', His eyes re-aligned with his troops. "Look you bastards, after this bombing all hell will break loose, we may have several men die from loose debri the bombings." His men understood, none feared, or thought they would die that way.
~~~
"Alright." Commandant General, Manfried King, stated to the Elected Premier, Jay Blue. "Retaliation. We've got to bomb those fuckers to hell." He slammed his fist on the table.

E.P. Jay Blue laughed, "Look, you're convential ways might work in an even war, but buddy. We're fighting an un-even battle." He remembered his days leading the Nationalists for Country, where he started this nation. "We need to draw them in here, kill them in the mountains. They don't know shit about the geography in here, the fucking massive city." He smiled at the Commandant General.

C.G. Manfried King sighed. "You're right, those bastards out number us, but our troops are better trained at mountain fighting, plus we put more money into each on of our troops. "I'll order our troops to set up machine gun posts at each entrance, it'll kill the bastards before they even get in here."

It's a small country, so we have to bury most of our population, eighty percent to be exact, in the mountains. There are only two cities, the mountain one, Liberte', and the outside one, which can be evacuated quickly, Holzagel. We've carved large caves to allow our airforce to land and take off with relative safety. The only exposed forces will be the SAMs, but that will be only for three to six minutes to fire off their SAMs. Casuelties off-the-bat will be low for my small, organized army. This will be so I can continue fighting and this won't be a game that's over before it's started.

Keep in mind, this is 10,000 Surface-to-Air Missles (SAM) coming at, your 95 Su-47s. Along with 4,000,000 million, high-cailber, rounds. (Atleast if my math is right) And then 91 MiG-29s coming to pick off, if there are any, which I expect there not to be, remaining fighters.

Oh. Um, by the way. Your actual USD is 3.4Bil USD. Seeing as each one of your Sorgs cost 4 USD. But seeing as Ezaltia gave you a trillion dollars it isn't that bad. But just saying, you'll need to work on your economy.}

OOC: I read your post, I'm not ignoring you. I'll reply to it a bit later this evening, when I'll have more time.

And should we assume our nations are adjacent, just for the sake of this battle, or do you have other preferences?

{OOC: Adjacent, though I'm going to be away for an hour or two, shortly.}

Within very little time, almost all 100 of the Su-47s were in the air (90, with 10 left back at base). The small force of ninety aircraft flew southwards over Siriusa, towards Terre Internationale. On their way south, they were joined by 50 F-22 fighters. Also joining them was the second wave of another 85 F-22s.

First wave: All of the F-22s were equipped with 2 AIM-9 Sidewinders. 25 of the F-22s were equipped with 6 AGM-88 HARMs and the other 25 were carrying 6 Vympel R-77M1s.

The Su-47s were carrying 2 HARMs and 2 Vympels (both of the same build as that on the F-22s), as well as 2 AIM-9 Sidewinders. Both the Su-47s and the F-22s carried all their ordnance internally, making them hard to detect on radar.

The F-22s and Su-47s would fire their HARMs when the enemy AA came into range, approximately 90 km away, and they would fire the Vympels on the enemy aircraft as soon as they got within range as well (175 km). Any surviving enemy aircraft would immediately be fired upon with the Sidewinders as soon as they were within a safe shooting distance of 18 km.

The second wave would follow shortly after, comprised of 85 F-22s. Their strategy would largely follow that of the first wave, but they carried a heavier load (4 AIM-9 Sidewinders, 6 Vympels, and 2 HARMs), which made them more easily detectable by enemy radar, but this wouldn’t be an issue because the HARMs of the first wave would have dealt with the radar at large.


Siriusa knew that Terre Internationale’s mountainous terrain would present a problem, as it would prevent them from bringing large tanks, but the Siriusan military would be more adept at alpine combat than the military of other nations.

As the air attack was commencing, Siriusa’s ground forces were gearing up for an invasion of Terre Internationale, which would commence once the air force had succeeded in removing a portion of the hostile forces on the surface.

OOC: I’ll post the specifics of the ground forces hopefully tomorrow.

The plan was ignited. When the enemy aircraft where withen range of the Buk-M1-2's missiles, around twenty-eight kilometers, the two thousand missiles let loose. The report was hurtful though, the enemy's HARM missiles had taken eighty-two out of action until they could be repaired. When taken to the body shop fourteen where out of commision for good.

The second stage of the plan was also started. The thousand TC-M1 AAA's began their assault at a much closer, and painful range, four kilometers. Withen the several minutes they had been outside the caves, exposed to enemy fire, they were able to lift off a second volley, well... atleast the six hundred eleven surviving TC-M1 AAA's. Along with that they filled the sky with four million rounds of ammuntion, like a blankey over the enemy fire. So far two thousand 9K37 Buks had been fired, and twelve thousand eight hundred eighty-eight 9M311s had been fired, along with four million rounds of ammunition.

Now, it would be hell for the Siriusan forces. They had waisted all their ASMs on the SAM sights, now they were open for a hell load of the remaining SAM sights. The four hundred twenty-eight Buk-M1-2's had rolled out, and were able to fire another two volleys of 9K37 Buk SAMs, the equivelant of three thousand four hundred twenty-four SAMs. Then came the remaining six hundred eleven TC-M1 AAA's which were able to fire another two volleys of 9M311's at the enemy, another nine thousand seven hundred seventy-six missiles. Not to mention another four million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand rounds were fired towards the enemy fighters, mainly their missiles.

When the second wave moved in they fired their missiles at whatever target they could find (so you tell me). Their sparradic fire led to another hundred twenty-one hits of TC-M1 AAA's, forceing one hundred six out of commision and taken to repair. Of those forty-six were completely un-repairable.

The hidden runways had not launched any of their fighters, waiting to see the enemy casuelties, ready to deploy at a spilt seconds notice, though it would be the death of many of them if their intelligence was incorrect.

{OOC: You chose the wrong missiles...
So far it's:
5,424 9K37 Buk SAMs
22,664 9M311 SAMs
8,888,000 High Caliber Rounds

Against:
135 F-22s
90 Su-47s

This is looking pretty bad :-/}

{OOC: Sorry, had to re-fix some numbers. Look at post again.}

"They're down, commander."
"How many?"
"All of them. First and second wave, one hundred percent gone."
"Christ... how many did we damage?"
"We estimate about 150 hit, sir. No telling how many are permanently destroyed and how many are temporarily out of commission."
"Compared to our 135 downed aircraft, we can't risk another strike like that. For one, it's too costly. We're calling off the third wave, tell the Su-37s to stand by for further orders. We can't attack them by air in the mountains. The bastards stole our strategy."
"Permission to speak freely, sir."
"Permission granted."
"May I suggest a ground invasion? The enemy seems too fortified against yet another air strike, and we already have at least 150,000 troops ready at Terre Internationale's border. In fact, I've already forumlated a plan for a situation similar to this."
"Tell me more."

Siriusa/Terre Internationale border:

the Siriusan army was ready for action. They had prepared a small force to infiltrate the mountains of Terre Internationale. This was a relatively small force, so it didn't have .
It consisted of:
5,000 ground infantry (88% H&K G3 assualt rifles, 3% Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile launchers, 4% H&K MSG-90 Sniper rifles, 2% FIM-92 Stinger, 3% H&K Underbarrel grenade launchers)
25 LAV-Ms
50 LAV-25s
50 M3 IFVs
100 HMMWVs
100 Leopard 2 MBTs
100 Avenger SAMs
75 SA-4 Ganef MtH1 Mobile SAMs
50 120mm M1938 mortars
10 M777 towed Howitzers

The task of this force was to 1) scout out the forest and mountains, using mainly the infantry to do the reconaissance, 2) avoid a large-scale confrontation (but if one happened, the vehicles would be following behind the infantry) and, 3) stay alive and hold position. Once the 20 helicopters had flown in their loads, the invading force would open fire upon Terre Internationale's outposts (and that includes bunkers, air force bases, whatever they come across) using their mortars, howitzers, etc.

In the event that Terre Internationale's air force went after the invading army, Siriusa would deploy its delayed 3rd wave of Su-37s, X-35s, and A-10s. With their own air force in the air, it would not be likely that Terre Internationale would launch such a devestating AA attack again, as it might hit some of their own planes.



20 Mi-8 Helicopters, each carrying 30 men (equipped with 22 H&K G3 assualt rifles, 2 Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile launcher, 3 Barrett "Light Fifty" M82A1 Sniper Rifles, 3 FIM-92 Stingers), 3 2B14-1 PODNOS 82mm mortars, and 1 OTO Melara Mod 56 Pack Howitzer. This force would fly in on the helicopters (flying as low as possible, 10 meters above the ground so as to avoid the fire of the lethal enemy Buks) and they would land about 5 KM away from the targets identified by the infiltrating force.

This means that if the infiltrating force was stopped or delayed by any enemy activity, this force would never have left.
It was an operation based largely on luck, but it was the best Siriusa could hope for.


OOC: When your men are working at finding out my little forces, keep in mind my army has training in the mountains like yours, so they would know what to do better than just "any other" nation.

How ironic that I end up fighting someone in the mountains and they're using almost the same strategy that I normally would...

{OOC: They're not on the mountains. They're in them. Like caves, they woun't be leaving them.

IC post will be after this one. BTW you should join my Civil War RP :)}

With the hundred percent down enemy aircraft the moral of the entrenched Nationalist troops soared. When the infantry heard of the invasion they smiled at the ignorance of the enemy. Taking them out of the mountains would take more than just a two hundred thousand men, much more.
~~~~
Second Lieutenant Bruce Leo organised his platoon, in similiar to exact fashion of his counterparts that were defending the cave entrances. "Ok, men. The entire enemy aircraft that assault our positions have been whiped out!" His hundred men cheared as they heard of the news. "Now the enemy is sending in their troops!" The entire platoon laughed, they knew that the enemy didn't stand a chance at taking the cave... even the entrance. "Now as you all know, if we were in our enemy's positions we'd probably be dead, too, understand?" He smiled at his men, "But we're not!" He laughed and his men cheared again.

His speach was interuppted by the movement of ten large B-11 107mm Recoilless Rifles, along with two M06 203 massive anti-tank pieces that was moved to the back most of the cave, concealling its presence until the enemy tank or armoured vechile was no more. "Troops! Look at that! Look at our might!" He screamed to his men, another platoon, actually their whole company was here, all two hundred. "Alright, I want a company weapon's check!"

A small private went off to find the weapons, and quantity, of which they were using. He came back with a large list. The commander smiled and reported it to his men. "These are the following weapons that we will be using to hold this cave entrance!" The men cheared as he cleared his throat. "Two hundred AK-47s! Ten B-11 Recoilless Rifles! Ten RPG-29s! Ten Dragunov SVDs! Two 9M133 Kornet Anti-Tank System, placed at the adjacent angle of the M06 203s, still concealed! fifty RPK-74s and Ten Kord 12.7 heavy machine guns!" The men of Leo's company cheared louder than ever before, they were deafening.

The troops layed out their weapons and positions, reinforced them with sand bags and always made sure their best battlefield friend was with them, cover. The heavier ordance such as the B-11s were surrounded by even larger, rock-coloured, sandbags. This was a sight that all hundred eighty-six entrances had. (That means every entrance you go threw is basically going to have everything I listed above.)
~~~~
The sight at the airbases was similiar, all the aircraft had been place in shelters were carved into the ground, safe from any fire. Even the helicopters were placed in heavily re-inforced carved out positions.

{OOC: Couple things I need to know. How many replacements do you have for your Sa-4 Ganefs? Seeing as you aren't in your country and getting logistics across is an incredibly difficult ordeal i'd estimate two or three.

Also, Imagine this (Except like twice as large...)
http://www.mccullagh.org/db9/d30-2/inside-cave.jpg
Crammed with two hundred men, machine guns, RPGs, ten B-11's in the back where it's black, along with four large Anti-Tank weapons even farther back.}

Private Nicola heaved a sigh of relief as he reached the peak of the small mountain. For nearly two days he had been searching for signs of the enemy faction. A fourth of the rest of the army had split up into pairs to scout out the mountains and find as many enemy instillations as possible. Today would be their last day out, after 1800 they would begin their trek back to the main force.
Nicola's buddy, an older man by the name of Skinner (or at least that's what everyone called him), was looking through a pair of binoculars, scanning the mountain valleys. Skinner was the more experienced of the two, and therefore, by his rules, made the rules as well as carried the binoculars.
"Pass the map over here," Skinner said gruffly to Nicola. "I see a cave on the wall of the mountain to the northwest."
Nicola hastily unfolded it and passed it, with a stubby pencil, over to the older man. Skinner made a small mark on the map where the cave was, and then folded up the map and gave it back to Nicola.
"Let's head back, it's already past noon and I don't think we could cover much more land and find another one of their little hideouts," He said as he started back down the trail which they had come up. "Besides, if we go fast enough, we might get to sleep in an actual tent instead of stuffsacks."

While the pairs of men had been out for two days, they had discovered a number of Terre Internationalist caves, presumable the entrence to bunkers where the rest of the population would be hidden. Upon return to camp, the maps would all be collected and a collaborative effort would begin to make sense of all of the enemy bunkers were. Very few would have evaded detection by the Siriusan scouts.

Of course, the question was what to do next. Day in and day out, the Siriusan helicopters were delivering food, ammo, and other neccessities to the military stationed in the Terre Internationalist mountains. The Siriusan helicopters were also bringing in new equipment and men, including 500 OTO Melara Mod 56 Pack Howitzers, 21,000 2B14-1 PODNOS 82mm Mortars, and a new, fresh group of 1,000 troops ready to fight and die for their country.

It looked like if something wasn't done soon, the Siriusans would have to either give up or launch a terribly costly assault on the caves. While the Siriusans didn't want to lose more men, they did not want to let the Terre Internationalists simply walk away. The Siriusans would stand and fight.

OOC: Yes, about 2 replacements for the SA-4s.

And roughly how thick/tall are these sandbags? Do they pretty much stretch from wall-to-wall?

The plan was made. The radars began a barrage jamming like tactic, except the number of jammers that were used allowed adiquit (sp?) jammage as to force the SARH tracking systems to be in-effective, except for plausibly five or seven. This would make almost no barring on the the genius manuever that the Nationalist Chief of Staff had created.

The enlarged 3rd Information Extraction Retriever Squadron, under Captain Rodney was sent for the mission. Officially they were going to be out there for extraction business, unofficially they had the following.

New F4 Phantom III (10x): -Nationalist Airforce Variant-
(8x) CBU-97 (Anti-Armoured Cluster Bomb)
(1x) 20mm M61 Valcon Gatling gun (639 Depleted Uranium (Armour-Piercing) Rounds)

Su-17 "Fitter" (5x): -Nationalist Airforce Variant
(10x) CBU-97 (Anti-Armoured Cluster Bomb)
(2x) 30mm NR-30 (80 Depleted Uranium (Armour-Piercing) Rounds)

These aircraft flew quickly out of their concealed air bases and flew downwards, getting three hundred meters under the ground, escaping the range of the operational Sa-4s. The Avengers (sorry, but since we each post only once a day in this thread I hope you don't mind me typing your response, which I think would be your response) were still a danger to the Su-17s, whom quickly dropped their cluster bombs above the Sa-4s and fired their rounds into the Howitzers' positions. They were all damaged, two completely destroyed by the Avenger missiles. The three remaining Su-17s flew directly into the Sa-4s positions, kamikazi-like.

The faster F4 Phantom IIIs reached their speed of 2.1 Mach, which was .1 Mach faster than the Avenger missiles. They deployed their cluster bombs over the enemy Howitzer positions, and unloaded their depleted uranium rounds into Sa-4 mobile SAM platforms.They contiunued to stay in the air, firing, cautiously, their 20mm rounds into the enemy Mobile SAM platforms.

Meanwhile the 5th Infantry Defence Regiment, along with the 6th Cave Fighting Regiment secured one of the two airforce bases. Their total ammount of supplies was the follow:
3,200 AK-47s
160 B-11 Recoilless Rifles
160 RPG-29s
160 Dragunov SVDs
32 9M133 Kornet Anti-Tank System
32 M06 203s
8,000 RPK-74s
160 Kord 12.7 heavy machine guns

The same sight was seen at the other airforce base, in-reserve for each of the airforce regiments was an armoured regiment, which is being aguemented as of now, and will be completed in several moments (your next post).

{OOC: Have you ever played a world war two game? Like inside of a bunkers, there are little holes to shoot out of? Well, the bunkers are just like that, and they're about two meters thick. And yes, they're wall-to-wall except for a few shooting holes that give them a full view of the gave. Well, except there is an entrance-like way in the middle were the large Anti-Tank guns could fire out, along with the B-11 107mms.}

Nicola and Skinner heard the planes flying overhead. Everywhere, people were scrambling to make sense of things. "They're coming! Their whole army!" someone cried. There was a deafening explosion as a Su-17 flew straight into the ground, somewhere over the other ridge behind them.

Order was restored within a minute, and everyone learned what had happened. The Terre Internationalists had deployed a very small air strike, utilising no more than 15 planes. 5 were downed so far, they could tell. The Siriusans, on the other hand, had lost some 62 of their Sa-4s (8 were only damaged) and around 38 Howitzers to the enemy's Depleted Uranium rounds.

Across the Siriusan border, 20 AMX fighters were being deployed to deal with the Phantom IIIs (assuming they're still around). They were armed with:
4 AIM-9 Sidewinders
1 20mm M16 Vulcan rotary cannon


But Siriusa was now ready for their next action, which was another air attack. The information aquired by the Siriusan scouts was not to be used in a ground invasion. Rather, it was sent to the Siriusan capital. The bombing had been on the drawing boards since the beginning of the war, and now it was time to put it into action.


60 B-1B bombers:
1 Grand Slam "Earthquake" bomb stored internally
6 GBU-28 "bunker buster" bombs stored on external hardpoints

50 FA 15 Fighters
8 AIM-9 Sidewinders
8 AIM-120 AMRAAMs
1 AGM-88 HARMs

5 EA-6B Prowlers
5 AN/ALQ-99

They would fly at a safe height of 18,000 m, until they were close to within range of the Terre Internationalist bunkers and little air bases. The EA-6Bs would make using SAMs against them virtually impossible, and the new FA 15 fighters would be there for protection against whatever else the enemy threw at them (and they could also potentially destroy any more radar-using stations on the grod with their HARMs).

The B-1B bombers would drop their Grand Slams on the air bases and the GBU-28s on the enemy bunkers. The GBU-28s could penetrate up to 30 m into earth or 6 m into solid concrete, so there was little doubt that they would wreck havoc upon the Terre Internationalists hidden underground in their bunkers. The Grand Slams were "Earthquake bombs," which would penetrate deep into the ground, explode, and collapse whatever was above them.


Bombs away!



OOC: It's "adequate," btw.

And I was just wondering, but how "deep" are your air bases?

The GBU-28s could penetrate up to 30 m into earth or 6 m into solid concrete, so there was little doubt that they would wreck havoc upon the Terre Internationalists hidden underground in their bunkers. The Grand Slams were "Earthquake bombs," which would penetrate deep into the ground, explode, and collapse whatever was above them.


Bombs away!



OOC: It's "adequate," btw.

And I was just wondering, but how "deep" are your air bases?

{OOC: Mmm, finally a challenge, thank you. Not offensing your prevoius RPing, i'm just saying, you're learning quickly.

Hard to describe, think large cave, withen meters thick door that takes a massive ammount of gyroes to move them.}

The Phantom IIIs were downed, no problem, they weren't capable of taking on the AIM-9 Sidewinder. Though their increased manuevarbility they were able to (the seven, partial survivors) attempt to suicidally attack the remaining Sa-4s.

The large bomber formation was quickly picked up on radar and the MiG-29 squadrons were launched, jamming still being emmitted as to impair the remain Sa-4's. These MiG-29 were armed with R-73's that would be armed with four. The other two points would equip two R-27T's for their hard points.

Along with the ninety-one MiG-29 the pride of the Nationalist Airforce began to fly along side them, in their gloroiusly large number of fifty. They were armed to the teeth, their design allowing them to load a total of twenty canisters. Yes, it was the new and great MiG-103.

Airforce Deployed:
MiG-29 (x91)
(x4) R-73
(x2) R-27T

MiG-103 (x50)
(x10) R-73
(x10) R-27T

The command staff new that this war was useless, men, primarily Siriusan men, were dieing for no reason. With their new weapons that were able to penetrate thing APC armour, it would be absolutely destructive to the Siriusan army ranks.

They decided to send the following letter.

Elected Premier, Jay Blue

This war has claimed the lives of many young men, and for what?
Diplomatic tentions? We must unite, wars bring nothing but dispair,
hell. Combined we could have in dominabtle forces, a machine of
might. Dedicated to unification of the Nationalist mean. Together
we can prosper, or fall endlessly, destroying each other as the Russian
and German did in World War Two. Death should not be allowed
between our two nations, especially in such non-back stasis. Please,
end this blood shed.

{OOC: This was is taking a bit too long, we each only posted once a day. :(.

Oh, btw. Those AARAMs your using are SARH or ARH guided, which means, since they're flying into a jamming field, would be useless.

Good RPing with you, look forward to it a bit more in the future, possibly allies?}

Tenarius, Siriusa
The letter reached the capitol quickly. Upon reading it, immediately the Parliament fell into a huge debate.
"This letter calls for our surrender!" One member called amid the hubub. "To accept this 'unity' is no different than to allow them to walk right into our capital and take over our whole government!"
"If we don't take this opportunity now, then there will be no possible way Siriusa can walk away from this war without being severely crippled," another member retorted. "The bloodshed will continue and we will lose many a good young Siriusan man. If we stop the war now, we may prevent further wars with Terre Internationale in the future."
"But we musn't let this show signs of Siriusan weakness," cried another. "If we show our superiority, we can be the ones demanding they surrender!"
"They aren't demanding that we surrender, they are asking for peace," the second said. "Now there is no denying that we may be able to overwhelm them with sheer numbers, but then how many more must die? How many Siriusans and how many Terre Internationalists? I say we seize this opportunity to expand Siriusa, not militarily, but diplomatically. It did not work before, but perhaps it will work now, now that the lives of others have opened our eyes."
After the debate had ended, Siriusa sent the following response.
Siriusa agrees that the notion that such a mere trifle to have caused
such a war is foolish. We agree heartily to your idea of unity between the
two nations. However, Siriusa would like to make the following clear. One:
This is not a surrender, it is a diplomatic agreement between two nations
for peace. Two: We will not stand for the oppression of our rights or the
threatening of our sovereignty, if you should choose to use this treaty to
cause us potential harm. Three: We ask that you allow our troops an
unmolested exist from your territory. That is all we ask of you.
Furthermore, to show our willingness to make this relationship work, we
are willing to provide funds, workers, etc. for the rebuilding of your nation.
With work on both of our parts, our nations can flourish together.

OOC: Thanks for showing me the ropes, it's been a big help :).

And sorry about just posting once a day. It's been a rather hectic week, being right before spring break and all.

I'm looking forward to seeing you elsewhere on the forums and RPing with you in the future. Who knows, we just might end up being allies somewhere down the line.

All of these are accepted, and we did no send the prevoius
message in hopes of your surrender, your troops will exit without
molestation, but it is well you have thought of them. We are glad
to have such a knowledgable nation, that still contains a rather large
amount of common sence, which is a must in times of war, peace,
and negotiations. Upon this we wish to send alms for the soldiers we
have killed in this war, twenty-five thousand each for their families.
We thank you for having the great wisdom to not drag on such an
unneccesary war.

{OOC: Always look up your enemy's weapons, and if they say you're a godmodder for saying the casuelties, which they expect to be heavy, are light due to a munitions choicage error that they were not aware of, just show them a link.

Also, try, as you did in the latter stages of this RP, to suggest damages. It helps when the other player dosn't really know. And also right up a total of what's being sent at them, especially if it's a large number, sometimes the enemy will over-estimate the damages.

And you're a fast learner, it has been very fun RPing with you. :D}
