Undisclosed Location over the North Deurem Special Administrative Region

The dark twilight of the early hours in the barren desert of the North Deurem Special Administrative Region were filled with the laughter of men and gun shots. These men whose's grandparents were once part of theonce glorious Empire of Deurem before it fell in 1971 might have been dukes and counts if the "Great Revolution" as officialy known never had happened. Instead these men had fallen from grace and had along with the remnants of the Deurem Royal families been hunted down to the last man, or so would of happened for the newly created communisted alligned Deurem Union had not fallen into a civil war. This civil war which happened from 1975-1976 left the Royalist remnants of the Deurem Empire to move north which was under control of the various indigenous tribes who had been oddly enough hunted down by the former Deurem Empire.

This soon after created a conflict between the tribes of the North Deurem Special Administrative Region and the Royal remnants. Said conflict was left to the two parties for a long time since the now newly created Socialist Republic of Deurem had to contest with the Stalinist and right-wing rebels left from the Deurem civil war which had fled South into the jungles.

Many years have passes and the enemies of the Socialist Republic had been squashed or either crippled. All except the Royal remnants. The Socialist Republic of Deurem had been unable to attack them due to an agreement with the tribes of the North which meant that no military could set foot on land owned by the tribes. As such these ment the indigenous tribes and the royal remnants had fought a long and brutal fight in till now. With few options left the tribal elders have called upon the might of the Deurem People's Army.

"Targets in view. Some of them are carrying FN FAL's while the rest are possibly carring G3's. Its hard to say but they might also have MP5's." whispered a young soldier to his officer. Other recon units are reporting the same thing." the 19 year old said in a timid tone. Half of it came since he had never been in actual combat and the other since he was in the infamous "Oil Brigade" which had become famous for clearing out the other Royal remnants who had not ran to the Special Administrative Region for safety and soon after took control of various oil rich regions of Deurem. Now the Oil Brigade was now here for its unfinished business and that meant one screw up that the young soldier did would meant certain shame.



" Good job. Get your AK-103 and get ready to move on them." with that the unseen officer already hidden beneath the shadow of a tree dissapeared to get ready to assault their unsuspect targets.


Few minutes later

The laughter was slienced and in its place was the sound of gun fire and shouts. The Royal remnants had been completely caught off guard. Most of them were unable to fire their weapon once due to the speed of the Deurem troops. Soon after the initial attack mortars began to saturate the area with deadly fire. Those still alive had regrouped and started a counter attack to drive the Deurem troops away. But this was in vain as the omnious sounds of rotor blades killed any hope left for the Royal remnants whose only weapons that could wound the incoming helicopters were all destroyed.

5 hours later

The military operation known as Operation Velvet Fish had been a success. The last Royal remnants had been killed. Troop reports suggested the number of enemies killed was in hundreds. Sadly though the collateral damage was as high as well. In the confusion many innocent people such as children had been killed by the mortar fire. The victory was bitter sweet and as many of the soldiers went to retreive their fallen comrades they wondered how this could of happened. Bodies littered the ground and the sand and dirt was colored red with blood. The women and children that had survived might speak of this to the world in a bad light. On top of that many nations had satillites floating around who would speak their opinion on the nations actions.
The Socialist Republic of Deurem was going to have to speak for their actions, both intentionally and unintentionally.
