Tension has grown dramatically today after the Inner Colstream Border was closed after a speech by the East Colstream Leader Nigel Brecken said "to stop the escape attempts that has caused severe loss of revenue to the country, the border between the 2 Colstreams must be Closed". Traffic was halted last night at around 23:30 Colstream Time causing traffic trying to leave East Colstream to go back home. The Republic Of Colstream has gone on full military alert due to the fact of Nigel Breckens dream of a "united socialist Colstream".

Diplomats in Ashland and Hetuarie are now trying to diffuse the sitaution which could lead into a full scale war which will be the third war in the country in 8 months.

Two Antigran armoured divisions wish to stay as a reinforcement for Republic of Colstream forces until things die down.

To Antigr:

The 2 Antigran Armoured Divisions will be needed as there is suffient intelligence saying that East Colstream Forces will attack in 4 days. We have other than the 50 divisions ready, we have another 75 in reserve but we won't need them because that is nearly triple the forces they have. Plus they have no Air Force or Navy so this will be a few days campaign if it happens. The East Colstream People are suffering under the communist regime in East Colstream so we might have to invade to stop the executions. What do you think??

Secret Communication

To Zaheran:

Here is the Intelligence that the Colstream Federal Bureau and the the Colstream Secret Service has on Nigel Brecken.

Residence: 12 Lenin Avenue- Next to the East Colstream Parliament Building.
Workplace: East Colstream Presidential Office.
He gets to work by armoured limo, has 2 bodyguards armed with 9mm Handguns.
He does take a Cigarette break in an alleyway outside the Presidential Office at 11:30 and 14:00. Bodyguards are close but can be taken out using a silenced weapon.

Equipment:
Silenced SR33 Sniper Rifle
Silenced 9mm Pistol
Cyanide Pellets- Can be forced into a persons mouth killing them in 2 seconds. Manufactured by the Colstream Secret Service for assassination missions.
1 meter of fishing line.
A 12 Inch Combat Knife used by the Colstream Marine Commandos and the Colstream Spetsnaz.

If this is true, then Antigr will raise it's forces presence - to five divisions.
The force will be called the Antigr-Colstream Expeditionary Force.
Five more divisions will be on standby.

This will not be done without your confirmation. General Sandrez (remember him? Our very best) will be in charge of the force.

This is simply one of those 'just in case' measures.

Excellent. The information have been sent to our man. Where can he retrieve his equipment and false passport?


The telephone awakened Markus Wolf, a spy and assassin working for the Zaheranian government. He reached for the phone. "Wolf".
"Agent Wolf, this is Spider. We have a Code Red situation. Report in to Station 2 in thirty minutes. They have orders waiting for you".
"Confirmed, Spider. Just let me put my clothes on first, will you?"
He hanged up and stumbled out to the shower. Fifteen minutes later he strode out of his expensive apartment, now shaved and dressed in a grey bussiness suit. His driver were waiting in the car, reading comics as usual. He looked up as Wolf got into the car. "Good morning, sir. Where are we going this morning?"
Markus yawned. "Station 2, please".
The man grinned. "As you wish, sir. A beautiful day, isn´t it?"
He started the car. The vehicle steered out into the trafic. Markus settled back in the comfortable seat and tried to read his paper. But for some reason he just found himself reading the first line over and over again. His mind was already focused on the coming mission. What would they require him to do this time? Would he be taking another life? See another head through the telescopic sight, once again pull the trigger, once again see the hole the bullet made, once again see the lifeless body fall headlong to the ground?
The car stopped. He got out and walked into the large, gray building which belonged to AISB, the Zaheranian intelligence service. He showed his security pass to the guard at the door. The man looked at it. "Welcome, mr Wolf. Spider is waiting for you".
Markus nodded and entered the building. He took the elevator to the fourth floor and walked down the corridor to the right door. He knocked. "Come in, Markus", a voice answered. "I´ve been waiting for you".
The door opened silently and Wolf stepped in. The man sitting behind the desk in the middle of the room was old, but his green eyes were as cold as a frozen lake. He took up a sheet of paper and a airplane ticket. "Here you have your mission and operational intelligence. Memorize it, then destroy it. Your plane will leave in two hours".
Markus nodded and took the sheet. He read through it and then looked at his chief. "You want me to kill the leader of East Colstream?", he asked in a cold voice, empty of feelings.
Spider nodded. "Correct. Any problems?"
Markus shook his head. "Shouldn´t be any. He will be well-guarded, of course, but I´ve had worse targets".
"Good. Now leave. Your plane is leaving soon".
Markus nodded and walked out of the room. He memorized the sheet of paper and then threw it into the special trapdoor, leading to a large oven where the paper would be burned.

One hour later, a Zaheranian Airlines Airbus took of from the Zahran International Airport. On board was businessman Friedrich Draken, officially on a bussiness trip to Colstream.

If this is true, then Antigr will raise it's forces presence - to five divisions.
The force will be called the Antigr-Colstream Expeditionary Force.
Five more divisions will be on standby.

To Antigr:

We welcome the 5 divisions and definately welcome General Sandrez. The 5 divisions will be needed because we have an assassination attempt ready on Nigel Brecken to be carried out by a Zaheran Special forces agent.

Excellent. We have just got word of that our man has landed. Operation Steel Harvest will begin shortly.

The Airbus landed at the airport. Friedrich Draken, alias Markus Wolf, got off the plane, took his bags and catched a cab to the embassy. A embassy employee gave him the suitcase. He thanked the man and went to the hotel room he had been issued. There he took out the equipment and checked it. Everything seemed to be in order. He had 24 hours before the operation would begin, so he slept a few more hours.

24 hours later
Colstream Inner Border

Markus walked to the border station. He felt slightly nervous. It was now or never. Either the guards would be tricked by the cover story or he would have to abandon the mission. He gave the guard the false passport.

General Sandrez was awoken by his assistant. He was at Mt. Kiriov Military base in western Antigr, and had only just been told of his deployment before he went to sleep.

"Whuh...oh, Johnson...it's six in the blessed AM! You'd better have good reason for this"

"Yes, sir. The Commander-General wants to see you. He's waiting in the MVCo command vehicle outside"

"What does the five-star general want to see me about at six in the bloody morning?

"Your deployment, sir"

With that, Sandrez got out of bed. He thanked his assistant and ushered him out, grabbed his clothes, got into them, and rushed outside and into the command vehicle.

---------

It was one and a half hours and three cups of coffee later that Sandrez emerged from the vehicle, at the same time that Commander-General (That's five stars) Kierian also left and jumped into a Jeep.

Before he left, Sandrez asked a few final questions.

"...So, we'll be going in by air?"

"Yup"

"Three divisions?"

"Yep"

"Which ones?"

"I already told you. The 57th Armoured, 3rd Infantry, and 18th Mechanized. They're on rapid deployment shift, it's their turn. See ya"

Sandrez walked back to his tent. His assistant, Lieutenant Johnson, was a kind man and had got breakfast for him.

Sandrez sat down and talked it over with him, even though it wasn't strictly any of the Lieutenant's business, he always talked to him anyway.
He eventually decided that they would leave in 48 hours. They would have to leave in a huge swarm of transports, and he'd have to contact Colstream to have them prepare four of their largest airports for their landing - more, if possible, and the closer together the better.

After he'd finished, Johnson offered to take the plates back to the mess. As he did, Sandrez walked over to one of three communication huts and put the calls through.

Encrypted Message to the Eastern Republic
The People's Republic of the Red Islands

We wish to assist the Eastern Republic and we'll deploy agents to your nation to help train your military. One of our men, Representative Mish Apricot will be there to meet you to show you how to use some of the new weapons we will show you.

We also have a R88 1 kiloton tactical nuclear mines that we'll show you how to operate. We wish to meet your president and major generals directly to show off our forces and how to act as a truly modern and effective military.

Sandrez's call was picked up by the Commander in Chief of the Colstream Army, Mojor General Matthew Trenire.....

23:00 Colstream Time-Ashland Naval Base:

Fleets 1, 2 and 4 of the Colstream Navy left Ashland Naval Base. The Republic Of Colstream had told the East Colstream Government that the fleets were on tactical exersise but the real intention was to fire Tomahawk Missiles at Key Installations inside the Peoples Republic Of Colstream as a prelude to invade the Country to overthrow the oppressive Communist Government. Meanwhile, 80 Full Strength Divisions had massed in secret totalling over 1.2 million men and their tanks and equipment.The Colstream Air Force had 4 Fighter Fleets totalling 400 fighters and had 1 Bomber Fleet numbering 250 B52s.

The guard returned the passport. "Everythings in order." The barrier opened to let him through....

"Thank you", Markus said with a smile. He walked over to the East Colstream side. From now on he was on enemy soil, enterily on his own. He waved for a cab. "The train station in Frania, please", he told the driver.

Sandrez was pleased when someone picked up the reciever on the other end.

He explained who he was and asked them to prepare four of their largest airports, the closer together the better. He also requested free use of colstream airspace from when the transports first enter it to 35 hours afterwards.

"The stations here are really bad here" he thought to himself as he entered the station. he bought a ticket and went onto the platform. The train he was booked on, the 04:46 express service to Hetuarie arrived and he boarded the train. A 30 minute journey later he arrived at Hetuarie and exited the station. In the distance he could see the East Colstream Parliament building and the Presidential House.....

OOC: I won't be around for 2 days so the the main action will have to wait.

Markus took in on a mid-level hotel near the train station. He leaved his things, ate a quick dinner, and then went out to check the surroundings around the Presidental House, especially looking for good rooftops for sniper positions.

Back at the military base at Mount Kiriov, planes were already been loaded.

The 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 28th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 40th, and 45th Air Force air wings had been mobilised for the operation.

The landing strips were alive with air force and amy air corps recruits, rushing about doing all manner of things.

The same was going on at the Arieda East, Areida West, Mirrantrez, Harrelford South, Harresz, North Dessenport, Auston North, Auston East, Styere, Mer el Haven, Seigfortre, Calendonia City ST, San Lupez, Ottado, Harrerstone, Sanderstone, New Dessenport South, Bix, Mascursa, Fieddeston, Dandires, Carragehr, Kaier des Tres, St. Kierraston, East Dandira, margeston, Aximstride, and Hayesdeson military and air force bases (All these cities/states are on my map, link in sig), as well as the naval bases equipped to hold navy air corps squadrons at Darrel Island, Athez Port, and Delasse.

The sheer scale alone was intimidating.

The first plane of the airborne armada was nearing Colstream airspace.

The plane's captain, Colonel Rogers, radioed Colstream.

"Come in Colstream, this is Antigran flight, request permission to enter your airspace, over. Colstream, request permission to enter your airspace. Do you copy? Over"

Markus took in on a mid-level hotel near the train station. He leaved his things, ate a quick dinner, and then went out to check the surroundings around the Presidental House, especially looking for good rooftops for sniper positions.

He found one on a rooftop just across from the alleyway where the East Colstream President took his breaks.

The Following morning he used the fire escape that lead onto the rooftop. He took the Sniper Rifle out of the case and looked through the scope. It was now only a few minutes before his target appeared..........

He slowed down his breath to not affect his aim. His mind was now totally focused on the task. He saw the target come into sight and raised his weapon. He laid his finger gently on the trigger. Any second now...

Nigel Brecken never heard the shot that killed him. The bullet entered his left temple and exited through the right side of his head. The 2 bodyguards started to scream that their boss was dead. Markus didn't mind. He was more concerned about getting back to the Inner Colstream Border before his pass expired.......

He arrived at the Train Station. He boarded a train which thankfully had no conductors on it due to a strike over pay. He arrived 40 minutes later at the Inner Colstream Border. He handed over his pass 20 minutes before it expired. He then boarded a Train heading back to Ashland. He sat in First Class drinking a glass of 1895 Colstream Grown Vintage Champagne named "Vitrois". As he left the Train at Ashland he saw the evening edition newspapers. He picked up the COLSTREAM TIMES Evening Edition and paid for it at the Kiosk. He scanned the front pages. The Headline at the top read "EASTERN COLSTREAM PRESIDENT ASSASSINATED!!!! Markus smiled to himself. He knew that he had done his job perfectly. Now he had to wait for more instructions.......

COLSTREAM NEWS NETWORK:
WAR IS DECLARED BY REPUBLIC OF COLSTREAM:

00:32

At 00:05 this morning the Republic Of Colstream launched a full scale invasion of the Peoples Republic Of Colstream. This comes after reports of mass executions by the communist government. Levels of tension came to a head yesterday when the East Colstream President, Nigel Brecken was assassinated by an unkown person leaving the country's leadership in chaos. 80 Colstream Army Divisions breached the Inner Colstream Border and has started to move in 3 Directions. One spearhead is heading Northeast to move north of Hetuarie, another one is heading Southeast of Hetuarie and the final one is heading for Hetuarie itself. The East Colstream defences has been overwhelmed along the whole Inner Colstream Border but progress is deliberately slow to prevent supply problems. Meanwhile, the Colstream Air Force is bombing supply depots behind the lines to prevent the East Colstream Army from being reinforced or resupplied. The Republic Of Colstream has called this action "Necessary to prevent instability of the region".

EAST COLSTREAM ARMY COLLAPSES AS COLSTREAM ARMY ENCIRCLES HETUARIE:

The East Colstream Army's 34 divisions were no match for the 50 fielded by the Colstream Army. Without Air Cover, the divisions have been pushed back and several surrounded in encirclement after encirclement. The East Colstream Army has been mostly captured as the Colstream Army pushes towards the East Colstream Capital Hetuarie.

The Current strength of the East Colstream Army is now around 14 divisions but even they are severely weakened by desertions and soldiers being captured. There has been no loss the Colstream Army and they are about 4 hours from Hetuarie. There also has ben no bombing of Hetaurie as the Republic Of Colstream Government wants to enter an undamaged Hetuarie.

Sandrez checked his watch. Suddenly, a Lieutenant yelled to him.

"They've launched the invasion, sir!"

The five Antigran divisions were ready and waiting. Sandrez was already in a command vehicle. He yelled into a radio.

"Move! Move! MOVE!"

Across a two-and-a-half mile stretch of the two Colstream's border, five Antigran divisions mounted an assault into the People's Republic.
They were heading for Hertuarie, their capital.

To: General Sandrez
From: Major General Matthew Triene

I would like you to make a dash for Hetuarie. You have 20 Colstream Army Divisions ahead of you. Once you get there can you help secure the city and please try not to destroy any buildings as the Colstream Government wants Hetuarie to be untouched.
NOTE: Be prepared for many prisioners as the East Colstream Army's morale is collapsing.
Also your line is to be only as far as the rail junction as the Capture of the East Colstream Parliament building is to be done by us. Hope this doesn't offend you.

COLSTREAM NEWS NETWORK:

To Antigr:

The Colstream Government is sorry that we couldn't contact you earlier. We will no longer need your forces to secure Hetuarie as the war has ended. Sorry if this is not what you wanted but the East Colstream Government had capitulated "to avoid any further pointless fighting due to the battle turning into a rout".

OOC: 'kay then. That was quick.

It would be nice to see some actual character or equivalent RP'ing rather than what appear to be newsflashes.

Ashland 08:34 Following Morning.

The Capital was in celebration to mark the treaty that finally ended the long months of trouble in Colstream. The parties had gone long into the night as people finally realised that the Republic Of Colstream could finally relax. The terms had been finalised. The East Colstream government and Parliament had been dissolved, the East Colstream army disbanded, the Inner Colstream Wall to be demolished and the country reunited based on the Republic Of Colstream Government.

Well, 'least it's over. S'pose.

I am now helping some other countries against a country called Cripistan which is cauing problems to them.

Anyways...bump

The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh

The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh is disgusted and appalled by the actions of the Republic of Colstream in the illegal and immoral invasion of its neighbour, the Peoples Republic Of Colstream. Such an act is repugnant to all nations that value the rule of international law and especially to those that have dedicated the energies of the workers, peasants and soldiers to the establishment of a socialist society.

It is with this in mind, therefore, that the Cihuacoatl, together with the deputies of the National People's Soviet, have refused to recognise the legitimacy of the current occupation of the Peoples Republic Of Colstream by their vile capitalist neighbours.

Further, severe repercussions will occur should western Colstream forces not return to their positions behind the Inner Colstream Wall and pay reparations to their neighbours for this cruel war and the assassination of Comrade Nigel Brecken.

The Fiefdom, thusly, urges the Republic of Colstream to consider its position very carefully. That is all.

Oh, and it's all Colstream's fault for retaliating to a rebellion that must have killed thousands of their own. It's all Colstream's fault for not just sitting back and watching them kill people.

The war's already over. Colstream did what anyone else would do - crush a purely evil rebbelion to save the lives of innocent civilians. No-one liked the People's Republic of east colstream, and it only existed because it tried to kill everybody.

Do us a favour, and leave it by the side of the road.

ooc: Right, a number of points on this one:

1. The whole name of this thread is "Colstream Treaty ratifies Divide" which means that it's not an "evil rebbelion" but a straight war between two countries.
2. It's called "role-play" because that's what you do, you pretend. As a communist nation, I couldn't give a damn over the morality or otherwise of the People's Republic, I'm going to stand up for it. My own personal view is wholly irrelevant. It's called 'pretending'.
3. You bumped this thread, what the hell did you want to happen? A picnic?

From:Republic Of Colstream

The Republic Of Colstream rejects these accusations outright. There had been many escape attempts made through the Inner Colstream Border which was made worse by these events:

1. Execution of Anti-Communist Sympathisers
2. The adoption of funding terrorist organisations
3. A purchase of a nuclear device destined to be sold to a terrorist organisation.
4 The event that set the war in motion- The acceptance of a SS65 Thermonuclear Missile that was to be used on any country.
Also i would think of YOUR postion. I have several allies that would help me if i was attacked. Plus i have recently manufactured several new Thermonuclear Missiles that could spell disaster for your people if used. We don't want a war. Especially a Nuclear War. The Colstream Government doesn't like war and only goes to war when International Security is threatened. Like Antigr said we were saving our own people. Even the people under the regime didn't support it so it was going to collapse anyway. It was a lost cause. We would like not to hear from you again on this matter. The matter is final. Do not attempt anything that will unstablise the region as there will be ruthless consequences.

OOC: Suppose you were right on the pretend-type government positional roleplay, but as for the rest of your comments, they are neither constructive cristicism nor helpful in any way.

If you'd bothered to find some history before posting, you'd find three threads or more containing the 'evil rebbelion' - which there is more than one of, I think - and also your picnic comments are no use either. I'd take them as far as 'stupid'. Bumping can not only be used as an item to keep a thread top of the forum, it can be used as a prompt for others involved already to post, or if a post has not occured for a while it can remind those people that this thread is still alive, and again, as a prompt.

I'd reccomend you don't use military action. I kinda regard Colstream as...well, big confession here - kind of an ally and definately someone high in my good books. So, I'll defend Colstream, then you'll attack me, then I'll call in the ADAN, then you'll attack them, so one of the ADAN will call in the CA and then the CA is huge with lots of multi-alliance members so they'll probably call in every other alliance in history.

The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh

The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh admires, at least, the candour of the Republic of Coldstream in defending its actions. And, while it possesses a nuclear arsenal of sufficient size to reduce the Republic to glass, we do not wish to exacerbate the suffering of our fellow socialists in the People's Republic by causing another major war.

That said, Otiacicoh still refuses to recognise the legitimacy of the current administration and while continue to view as sovereign the People's Republic of Coldstream. Any Communists wishing to establish a government-in-exile within the Fiefdom are invited so to do.

Further, the Fiefdom will watch the "so-called" Republic's actions very carefully in future and will warn, in advance, not to test our patience further.

For the moment, however, that is all.

To:The Serene Democratic People's Fiefdom of Otiacicoh:

The Communists in question were allowed to move overseas and not kept imprisioned under the new laws that were just recently passed. They were given a place in the reunited Colstream Government. You are on your own as several other nations have recognised our government and it will be the current government. We will only change governments when we hold an election. We give notice that in 2 weeks time. the Republic Of Colstream holds an election. We ask that his election is not disturbed. This election was announced just after the reunification. Also in a referendum just after the reunification, 95% of the population approved the war to reunite the country so that should be the end of the argument. The Colstream Government wishes that you leave this matter alone.

ooc: In essence, I have left this matter alone.

By all means, carry on.

Thank you...*sighs*

To Antigr:

No not really- i don't see them much. They haven't really supported me sincei joined that alliance so i don't bother anymore. I just want one that i can be a full part in.

Well, it's you're lucky day - *looks at watch* - night!

Anything new gonna happen in this thread or is it finished?
