Yanitaria to form Foreign Legion

Special Government Report

In a landmark decision, Parliament has ratified a bill proposed by Citizen Jean Danjou, a MoP of 3 years, which will found a branch of the Yanitarian Army, the Yanitarian Foreign Legion (YFL).

Citizen Danjou cited the increase in pirate attack on Okhotsk Island, a new holding, and the fact that expansionism has become an important issue, with the invasion of France, and the proposed retaliatory invasions of Belgium, Luxembourg, and Holland.

Modeling the French Foreign Legion, petty criminals, failed revolutionaries from other countries, and foreign volunteers will make up the bulk of the Legion. Foreigners who join the Legion will be offered citizenship after 4 years of service.

Currently the government is reluctant to assign young Yanitarians to Legion duty, and has only been able to scrounge up 10,000 men for the service. To this end, Yanitarian Commander of the Armed Forces, General Charles De Remi, has started asking for permission from all nations to recruit with in their boarders, or to send petty criminals for service in the Legion.

At the moment, the Legion is at 1/4th strength, and wishes to expand it's numbers to 40,000-50,000. Nations are limited to submitting 20,000 men, however, boot camp drop out rates are close to 50%, and so a total of 60,000-80,000 volunteers will be necessary, with the failures being sent back to their home country.

No expense will be asked of the nation that offers recruits, as Yanitaria will arrange for transportation, and will fully equip the Legionnaires with the same quality of equipment that the rest of the Army is given.

Almost immediately the bill had to be amended, adding that only human applicants need apply, as anti-military advocates volunteered 200 horses for service.

OOC: Basically, I am making an international unit of soldiers, just for fun. It'll make RPing a bit more interesting, and open up the possibility of having ex-legionnaires in future resistance movements.

I've had problems with threads before being populated mostly with people saying "OMFG I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!!!1111oneoneone".

Seriously, if you don't want to have your people volunteer, then don't say anything. If you don't agree with foreign recruitment, then just go away because I don't care.

I'll be adding this to my military page after I decide what to equip them with.

The senate rumbled with the quiet mutters of the ministers and regional heads, as the foreign minister made his speech, followed then by the minister for Internal Security.

After that, a period of louder debating became apparant, and the Foreign Minister had to answer a lot of questions.

A typical debate in senate, with especially loud amounts of chatter as the ministers thought it over again and again: what a revolutionary way of getting rid of petty criminals that populated the Fegosian prisons.

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

Next day, prisoners who had commited petty theft were rounded up in the prisons across the country, and given the option to join Yanitaria. At first, uptake was low, increasing when they saw all the benefits. Some had longer sentances than the time in the foreign legion, and the terms were much better than that of the feared penal regiment of suicide soldiers.

In total, 60% of petty prisoners applied for the scheme. In total, 24 000 people were put into APCs in handcuffs, and sent to the Airship ports where transport in the form of Leviathon class transports and many other smaller aircraft awaited: the largest could hold 1000 people.

The rest were crammed into prison ships, and sent on their way to Yanitaria.

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

Alfegos has commited to send to your nation 24 000 "recruits", who fit the bill nicely. We also wish to contribute to them as their basic small arm the AF-07 assault rifle chambered for the NATO 5.56mm round. This should be compatible with your nation, and provide a unique weapon to distinguish them from standard troops.

To Urmania:
Thank you for the volunteers.

To Alfegos:
Thank you for these "recruits". As to the AF-07 Assault Rifle, we will hold trials for several rifle designs, and pending it's review, we will decide whether or not to use the 6.5mm AY-112, or the AF-07.

At the very least, we will issue the AF-07 to those who prefer it. We thank you very much for the weapons.

OOC: Can you link me to the specs for the AF-07? I am gonna poke around the draft room and NS forums and see what I can pull up.

The transports started arriving, with first the airships and then the normal ships arrving and dropping off their convicts, still under supervision by Alfegosian Regulars, into the area where they were to be sent.

The Zaheranian government was glad for every opportunity to get rid of the thousands of political prisoners, mostly communists and members of the former Democratic Party, crowding the prisons. 20,000 prisoners woke up as the cell doors opened and they were dragged out to trucks heading for the harbors. There, they were throwed onto huge transport ships and locked into the cargo area. Anyone trying to protest was beaten senseless and chained to the wall. The prisoners recieved a scarce ration of food and water. The large ships began to move, heading for Yanitaria.

To: Zaheran

If you so choose, you may send all of your political prisoners to Yanitaria. We will accept them into the legions. We will also take all those that aren't fit for combat service, and give them temporary citizenship until they can be naturalized.

To Alfegos:

Upon inspection, we have decided that the AF-07 is the better service rifle, although Yanitarians prefer Bullpups.

The AF-07 will be standard issue to the legions, with the AY-112 being issued to anyone who prefers it, and the AY112B (carbine variant) being the official carbine.

The first lot of convicts, rounded up into a regiment of 3000 men, were lined up for inspection. They waited in anticipation, some looking on this as a quick way out, once tehy had real guns. Hopefully though, they would not have to shoot each other. Just deserting would be good enough.

Hey, Yanitaria, does the Legion take recruits of both genders? Also, does it take abhumans?

IC:

Roseberg's criminal element has always been a bit more...expansive, if you will, than we would like. As such, we have reviewed several prisoners whose individual profiles were found to be suitable, both those already incarcerated in the nation's prisons, and those in the court system found guilty but as yet not sentenced. Three thousand people, drawn from both factions, have been informed they may choose conventional sentencing, or a term in the Legion's ranks. Of these, literally every last one has chosen the Legion on the condition it will be counted as a full sentence for the crime(s) they have committed.

Oh! I am sorry that I overlooked your post!

Indeed, we accept both genders, but we prefer to have human recruits. Btw, I am increasing the Max to 100,000. Feel free to send as many men and women as you want, and judging by your crime rates, we should have the remaining recruits come from your jails.

Thank you for your generous donation of recruits and aid. Should Angaor ever need anything of Yanitaria, you need only ask.

Also, we are upping your embassy status to the highest possible, due to your help during our insurgency.

All:
Current number of recruits is: 83,070, before Roseberg sends their prisoners. Please note that we are increasing the maximum number of recruits to 100,000, however we are reserving all the spots possible for Roseberg. So until we get a response from Roseberg, we will not be accepting any more recruits.

Rosebeg's National Congress has decided to grant permission for me to approach Yanitaria and propose a plan by which the Roseberg court system may have a continuous link to the Yanitarian Foreign Legion, helping us relieve congestion in prisons, and giving the Legion a constant though perhaps somewhat small overall source of recruits. We would ask if you choose to make this deal with us that you be willing to accept certain abhuman species.

If you accept this deal, we would ask the Legion to set up a small office in Morristown to make the enlistment of eligible persons as swift as possible.

OOC: Sorry, but I am not accepting abhumans because I try not to mix fantasy or science fiction into my RP's. How about a compromise? I'll accept them, on the basis that in my RP's, they'd just be different race of human?

As soon as that's worked out, I'd love to accept your deal. Send as many people as you'd like, as we have wars and conquests aplenty. Perhaps you would also like to exchange embassies?

Basically, with regards to Nekos and such, that's already how I choose to RP them. The land that is now Roseberg, before it was colonized, was populated by disunited Neko tribes, among other things.

Elves are iffy, so let's just leave them out for now, eh?

Regarding an embassy swap, that'd be great. You could include the Legion office in the Embassy.

Indeed. There is a link to my embassy thread in my sig, where you can apply. Just a formality so that I have a record of your guard, personnel, and vehicles housed there. Also, I'll know what city you want it in, and what special requirements there are.

If you have an embassy thread, could you like it here, or in your embassy application?

I hate using the quote thing, but I forgot how to colorize text.

Here's the story in a nut-shell:

My nation used to be one of primitives, sort of a luddite quasi-dark age tech level until a massive modernization effort was undertaken in order to fortify it against increasing attacks from foreign powers and slave traders who found spears and swords poor answers to automatic weapons.

The Modernization went through without any real public approval, and split the nation into two factions: Modernist and Anti-Modernist. The Anti-Modernists are the insurgents, and have retreated back to the jungles and marshes that make up most of my nation to launch guerilla-style raids against the established cities and the government troops that patrol in search of them. While there are a few well-trained soldiers in their ranks, they cannot compete against the better-equipped and better trained government forces. Being Anti-Modernist, most of them distrust firearms and those that don't do not have the training to use them effectively.

They want things to return to the way they were, which is something of a lost cause, but they would rather die fighting than sit by and watch. There wouldn't be any In-Character consequences for training them, either. It seemed like an ideal opportunity for some backstory creation.

Alright, due to exceptional desertion by criminals, I'd be willing to accept anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 men and women. They'd have to serve their 4 years, but afterwards, we'll let them keep their weapons, and their body armour, and we'll send them back home to fight their own battles.

I expect the Argonians will fight ferociously to stay alive, and learn all they can about war, so that when they go back to their homeland, they will be able to fight the government.

Should Yanitaria still be accepting them, 5,000 Errikans would like to join the Yanirarian foreign legion, given the notable Errikan population in Yanitarian territory.

Numbers won't be nearly that high at first, until the quality of training has been evaluated by the Insurgency higher-ups. They also have a lot of expeirence with jungle warfare, melee combat, and guerilla tactics as well, if you want to build off of that skill base. When do you expect to start this?

And another thing... You realize what Argonians are, right?

Actually, I mostly want to play with my new toy.

But I suppose I'll go the french route and send them on the worst missions. Maybe have them hang around as the Peace Keeping force.

And not only Artic and Mountain experience, I will also, no doubt, send them to take Algeria alongside the Regulars.

After that, I suppose I'll let them rest up there, where the original French Foreign Legion was created.

Who knows, maybe a bit of military Darwinism will lead them to be the bet unit in Yanitaria

Edit: You are also listed as an Ally of Yanitaria

OOC:

Well, that's how the French manage it. They send them on important but highly risky missions, and if they are victorious, the French Army as a whole is able to claim the credit. If not, some foreigners got killed, nothing to cry about.

In many respects it will likely become a fine unit, taking orders most units might balk at because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, etc...

There will be no special thread. I am just building a fictional unit. However, the first official deployment will be here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=542279).

In my mind, it's more like the Americans in the Alamo, becoming heros of Texas, defending the freedoms of people that aren't necissarily of the same nationality.

I can understand that, but that is generally the thinking behind the FFL, and in a way, it is very sound reasoning.

Not that I would trust mercenaries...had to say that.

OOC: You'll be getting around 500 Argonian volunteers for now. Expect numbers to rise (at least in applications, your call for integrating them into the Legion) as veterans return home with better equipment and combat expeirence.

Being 'Abhuman', will a seperate unit be established for them, or will they be thrown in with the rest?

I'll add the 500 to the number when I get home. I am too lazy at the moment.

For my RP purposes, however, they are either human, or their non-humanness will never be acknowledged. I try to keep my RP's out of the science-fiction realm.

In many countries, a period is used where a comma would be used in america. A car costing 35,000.93 in America would be 35.000,93 in places such as Turkey.

However it is cute that you have such a superiority complex.

If you want, you'd have to see if it's cool with the rest of the UC, which should be no problem at all. When we invade Norway, Greece, or Algeria, I'd be fine with you RPing a company of argonians

Very sound reasoning, but it discourages new recruits in it's online incarnation

I'll TG you once I get to invading Algeria, with a link to the thread, and you can just start posting. I suppose you'll just have to mention that I said it was cool.

Nice idea. I'd ask to participate as well, but I have plans. Make sure and give the Legion a few great battles early on that future Legionaires can brag about in the bars, like the FFL's old stories of the Battle of Cameron, and Dien Bien Phu.

Funny. Yeah, there were Legion units there, alonside French Army regulars. In fact, even when it was obvious the place was going to be overrun some Legion volunteers were still parachuting in. One veteran even said the French levels of dead in the place were so numerous, the Legionaires were jumping in to open graves.

Ironically, the French could still have supressed the locals following that defeat.

OOC: Actually, had it not been for that defeat, the Vietnamese communists would have been on their last legs. Ol' Ho Chi Minh had a bit o' luck with that one.

With the recent abolishment of the limit, there is expected to be another wave of enlistments among the Errikan population in Yanitaria. An additional five thousand Errikans will likely soon be enlisted.
