Kimbakazu Forest, Hyperboria Laurasia.\

Chop! Chop!

The sound of axes were sounding though out the woods as Hyperborians were felling trees for lumber. The Reason for this mass cutting down of trees was on the Beach. The Hyperborians had no navy what so ever so they were building large Wooden Ships, over 197.4ft x 33.9ft x 21ft these ships had on their bows a Wolf head.

These ships were Troop Transports and also built to hold War Animals and weapons and Artillery for one thing:

an Invasion of Wilhelm-Hatarian Territory

The Steppe Empire was going to invade the Territories of the Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire to start Expanding out for more areas for people to live in.

and Basi was going to bring back The Hatarian Crown to Xanadou. and to The Nakagishima clan.

The Diadochi War had started.

OOC: Hat, I think two things would help you out a lot in gaining more respectability from the people around here. One, write your posts in MS Word or something like that before you post them. If your sentences were legible english, people would like you more. 2, Hataria was retconned. There never was a hatarian crown. Instead of mourning for things lost, you should create a new culture for your people. Anyways, doing those two things would help you out A LOT. Just a friendly tip.

Bump, will make a OOC Thread

OOC - Friendly advice. Don't end every one of your posts with a summary of what just happened. We just read it we know what happened. Try and add adjectives in.

Official Statement from the Free Havenic Republic of Kahanistan
Ministry of Defence

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/kahanistan.jpg

The Government of Kahanistan notes that it is under invasion and unable to render significant assistance to the Hatarian people and nation in its time of need.

We urge the Hatarians not to attack Wilhelmsborough at this time, at least not with wooden ships which will be easy prey to even primitive anti-shipping missiles. Should the Hatarian state be determined to war with such powerful nations, we might recommend putting the state's resources into developing an infrastructure and economy, ceasing nomadism, and importing ships from DMG, Isselmere, or Sarzonia. Personally, I recommend DMG for the ability to buy production rights, although my nation's legislature has seen fit to contract with Isselmerian firms for our warships.

However, it is our hope that your government can recover your lands without recourse to war, by diplomatic negotiations. Of course, a credible military force is necessary to support diplomacy, though the idea is not to use it, merely to suggest that it could be used.

Further, we are offended greatly by elements of the international community who do not recognise Hataria. Thousands of Kahanistanian soldiers were caught in the nuclear blasts of the Atopians during their cowardly nuclear attack, and many died protecting the Hatarian nation and people with their hearts and souls. We consider this denial of the sacrifices of our people a grave diplomatic insult and expect that the international community is reasonable enough to enter negotiations with us.

Signed,
General Samarra Rakhmadi,
Minister of Defence

OOC: What will this gain you? Honestly

OOC: It was a mod ruling. Hataria's people and homeland simply ceased to exist. Otherwise I'd have a colony there, along with many of my allies.

OOC: I hate to be a hypocrite, but this thread does in fact say "CLOSED" at the top, and there's another thread, an OOC thread, for a reason.

Bump

For many months now, things had been quiet in the Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire.

The Empire had been concerning itself with internal matters, and as such had stayed out of International Affairs. For the moment it's focus was shifted away from defensive readiness and more towards infostructure development in its holdings across the world.

In the former Hatarian territory of Algeria, geodesic domes built for the growth of Industrial Hemp were beginning to yield their first harvests. There were already 15 square miles of these hemispheric domes, but the Imperial Government was planning to build at least 12 times that amount.

In the former Hatarian territory of Cuba, all the damage that had been inflicted on the island during the last war had been all but erased. Farms and factories were operational. Internet and cell phone service was in every city and town. Money was no longer flowing into Cuba. Cuba was in fact creating a money flow all of its own.

The enclave cities of Ceuta and Melilla in Morocco had been turned into tracking stations to monitor the movement of ships in and out of the Mediterranean. Ceuta in particular, which was located directly south of Axis Novan Gibraltar, had been turned into a heavily armed garrison for the Wilhelm-Hatarian Military. The ships of 6th Fleet made their rounds here constantly. And there was always at least one wing of Su-47 Golden Eagles flying overhead.

And as for Rio de Janeiro...well, it was still the freewheeling party town it always was. Maybe even moreso, now that Wilhelmsborough was in charge. Emperor William Kennedy often traveled to the city to relax, or go on vacations. Strangly enough, those vacations usually fell around the time that Carnaval was held...

All in all, things were quite well for the Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire. It was a first-rate world power with great military strength. And yet it still enjoyed some of the anonymity of a younger state that was just starting out in the world.

But then, something happened that nudged the Imperial Government into a more defensive posture...

Location: Livadiya Palace, Yalta

Emperor William Kennedy and his Joint Chiefs looked over the photos that the E-3 Sentry AWACS had taken no more than six hours prior.

"Am I seeing this correctly?" asked Emperor William. "Are these ships...?"

"Made of wood?" finished Admiral of the Navy Vittorio Augustine. "Yes they are, sir. And they're transporting soldiers and assorted sub-human creatures."

"Sub-human creatures?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "Where are they headed? Where are they from?"

General of the Air Force Salazar T. Sherman spoke up. "Your Majesty, we would not bring this to your attention if it didn't have significance to our interests. These ships are from the Steppe Empire, and they're headed towards our Cuban territory."

The Emperor's eyes went wide in shock.

"The Steppe Empire? Wait..." he thought for a second. "Aren't they that breakaway group that existed in the old Hatarian Empire?"

Sherman nodded. "Indeed they are. When the Hatarian homeland was wiped off the face of the Earth, they managed to flee and reestablish themselves in another land."

The Emperor leaned forward on the desk. There was a distant look in his eye. "We never had any dealings with the Steppe Empire in the past. Why are they coming after us now?"

"Is it not obvious?" spoke General of the Army Nicolai Trotsky. "They're coming to get revenge on you."

"Revenge!" the Emperor repeated incredously. "They're going to get themselves destroyed here, and they're thinking about revenge?"

General Trotsky grinned. "Some leaders are very simple-minded." he replied, looking directly at the Emperor.

William rolled his eyes and turned to Admiral Augustine. "So, where are they right now?"

"At this moment, the ships are approximately 1500 miles away from our Cuban territory." the old Admiral replied.

"Only that far?" the Emperor's voice had taken a more relieved tone. "In that case, we can take our time in stopping them."

"Should we instruct submarines to torpedo the ships? Or maybe fire a salvo of cruise missiles in their direction?"

Emperor William raised an eyebrow at the Admiral. "No, are you nuts? We're not using expensive military hardware to blow apart planks of wood!"

He turned to General Salazar Sherman. "Contact the Base in Cuba. Tell them to prepare twenty-four B-52 bombers. Throw in forty-eight F/A-18 Hornets for a token escort. But General..."

The Emperor looked Sherman right in the eye. The General gulped inwardly. He knew that the Emperor meant business now.

"I want those bombers loaded with Capsule-B's."

General Sherman raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Capsule-Bs? We haven't used those since the West Corinthian Civil War!"

The Emperor leaned back in his seat. "Well, it's about time we did. After all we don't keep the bees around to make honey."

General Trotsky chuckled. "But the bees will make honey anyway. And we will still sell it for profit. How much did we earn last year?"

"$24 Million," replied General Sherman. "Easiest money we've ever made."

The Emperor laughed. "Well, if things go our way here, maybe we'll gain even greater profits when we force the Steppe Empire to pay an indemnity for starting this conflict."

Havana, Cuba.

Twenty minutes after General Sherman put out the call, the crews of the twenty-four B-52 bombers, and forty-eight F/A-18 Hornets were in the cockpits. The air crews rushed to load the bombers with Capsule-Bs and the fighters with Air to Air, and Air to Ship missiles.

Forty minutes after the call had been put out, the aircraft taxied onto the runway. One by one, the fighters and bombers took off into the sky, and headed in a southeasterly direction to confront the transport craft of the Steppe Empire.

Open Message from the Government of the Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire

"Take not thy Thunder from us but take away our Pride"

From: Emperor William Kennedy, Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire
To: Queen Basi, Steppe Empire

We have been monitoring the movement of your armada of wooden ships for quite some time now. We know that they are carrying a great deal of troops and military hardware.

Now, we do not know what their intentions are, but if it's what we believe it to be, then we would strongly suggest that you turn those ships around and bring them back to their home port. Do not seek a challenge a nation experienced in warfare, and stronger than yourselves.

Take a lesson from your predecessors, the Hatarian Empire. Remember what they did, and the circumstances that finally led to their complete and utter annialation. Ask yourself: Are we heading down that some path? Is that what I want for my country?

Well, Queen Basi, that's what the Steppe Empire is going to get if you don't stop right now. If these ships continue to head in the direction of our territory, we will act to defend ourselves. And you can take that to the bank.

Turn them back NOW.

Signed,

William Kennedy, Emperor
Wilhelm-Hatarian Empire
Yalta
