Mejico City: Funeral of Presidente Miguel Hernandez

This is Chad Santos of MNN News reporting live outside Mejico City where the Funeral for Miguel Hernandez was being held. As of now thousands of Miguel Hernandez's supporters have came today to protest for the end of the Confederate's hold on Mejico. They are threatening civil disobediences and shutdown of Mejico production until they are allowed to become an independent state. While this is not the outlook of the majority of Mejican peoples it is certainly the loudest...

(the camera turns and sees crowds of people, chanting "Livertad! Livertad! Livertad!" down main street carrying signs and portraits of Miguel Hernandez.)

...Due to the size of the crowds police have been called back and cofederate troops are in the city in the event that anything should happen. This is Chad Santos, back to you Angela..."

"thank you Chad. Many political analysis are debating whether Hernandez was a saint, or a power hungry dictator. Today we have Dr. Ivan Durkin, the Conservative Party Spokesman and Professor Steven Francisco, a Proffesor at Mokastana University.

Dr. Ivan Durkin: Thank you Angela

Professor Steven Francisco: Thank you

Angela: So Doctor what is your position on Miguel Hernandez?

Dr. Ivan Durkin: Well first off you must remember that Mokastana has a history of being Liberal and against Conservatism on many fronts. Hernandez was no execption. While some of his tactics were not the most politically fair you must remember that every turn in Mokan politics could of meant death for him. After all how else does the CSS not find an assassin who killed one of the presidents of the Confederacy? I beleive that he was murdered for doing what was best for his people and disobeying direct orders from the Confederate Council

Professor Steven Francisco: Dr. Durkin, this man was a madman. He invaded Tatom against the wishes of the rest of Mokastana for what? Personal gain. This man has done nothing for Mokastana except cause trouble. Sure he helped a few poor Mejicans when the cameras were rolling, that doesn't make him a saint. Did you forget the deaths of the Cancun 12? Twelve socialist reform workers from Mokan Island get gunned down in the middle of the street in broad daylight. The killers escaped in a SUV with government plates---

Dr. Ivan Durkin: That was a rumor, it was never proven, if anything the socialist did it to try and frame the Mejican govenerment!!! Not all---

-------(Scene cuts from debate to Mejico City)------

Explosion are heard, along with distant machine gun fire, behind Chad Santos the crowd is dispersing and dozens of former protesters are waving assault rifles...

"This is Chad Santos, the protests were shook moments ago by a large explosion, believed to be some kind of Anti-Vehicle device....(dodging bullets and staying in front of the camera he hits the dirt)...Now Protesters are arming themselves against the Confederate troops and fighting....(looking over his shoulders to see the battle)....The APCs should be getting in here soon, we will----"

(camera fades out, the network switches to Angela)

"Chad, Chad you there?"

Angela gets a nervous look...what to do now...


Mokastana City: Emergency Situations Bunker

President Villa walked down the corridor to the Situations room like he done so many times before. With him was Generalissimo Ivan Canarias, both men who had been there for every major conflict that Mokastana had seen in the last few years. Now another situation brewed in the region of Mejico. Unpon entering the room they were greeted by the staff with stiff salutes.

"As you were"

Canarias spoke second-hand, military discipline was in his blood, just like everyone else in this room.

"So," this time it was Nicolas Villa "We had a revolt by Bolivians last week and this time Mejican Revolutionaries attack the funeral of their beloved leader. Any good news?"

"Sadly...no sir, it only gets worse"

Both men sat down and opened the files, what they saw scared them. In the front of the room was Air Marshall Jesus Manuel, giving the presentation this time, since Canarias was asleep when the shit hit the fan and Jason Franshaw was MIA.

"Apparently loyalty in the ranks is not something we can assume anymore, during the days of the MPA we had the bond of Socialist struggle. Together we fought and died for the cause that we desired. Today we now rely on the defense of a professional army. One that dinero speaks louder then sovereignty. Due to that fact many Confederate Divisions in Mejico have joined the Mejican revolution, the Independents, as they are called. The problem is this: during the political wars we were the idealogical rebels fighting for a just cause against an oppressive regime. We are now the oppressive regime, and we are fighting idealogical driven rebels.

Overall the loyalty of Generalissimos will determine the outcome of this war. After all a majority of out soldiers are willing to obey their Generalissimos no matter what. One of the benefits of this style army. The problem is that this war will be viewed as Mokan Island vs Mejico. This could cause Sur or Tierra nueva to either succeed or at the worst join Mejico in the war. We need the loyalty of the other presidents, or more importantly their Generalissimos to secure the Confederatecy."


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

Overall this is the beginning of my civil war.

We have the Confederates, the Independents, and the neutrals...more factions will pop up as the war goes on...

The key to this war is nothing is as it seems.

(Spoken words are Uir
Message is English)

"Your daily report, sir," the secretary of President David Aposon handed a file to him.

"Thank you," David said as he opened it. There was information on the Antarctic Colonies, the Serreno War, what was going on with FEI and after that something about a revolution in Mokastana. Aposon knew that Mokastana was located on the Americas and that it was socialist somewhat but didn't actually know too much about the country. Instead of calling the legitimate government as would be the normal response, David sent a telegram. Timezone difference was probably atleast 16 hours. (+12 GMT)

TO: Legitimate Government of Mokastana
FROM: David Aposon, President of Uiri

Before I talk to you about your problem
I wish to inform you that being President
Only gives me control of all foreign affairs in Uiri
Diplomatic and Military

I have heard of your revolution
I wish to ask if you would wish for Uiri
To bring in its national military
We do not want to stick our nose
Where it doesn't belong

TO: Generalissimo Ivan Cararias, Mokastana Military HQ
FROM: Field Marshal Ward, Commander, Task Force Epsilon

Ivan

Word has reached me of the sudden dramatic turn of events within Mokastana, and of the alarming volte face by elements of your military and society.

Firstly, I can assume that, should you be reading this, the crisis has, for the moment, spared you. For that, I am profoundly grateful. Please let me know that this message has been recieved, as it will assuage my concerns greatly.

Secondly, I am, as you are of course aware, the commander of Lyran Task Force Epsilon, the extant Lyran Rapid Deployment Expeditionary Army. While I will of course have to obtain authority from Warmarshal Krell for any intervention, should you wish us to intervene, I would be more than willing to make that request.

Stand undaunted.

"Sir, we have all a major fighting force, but should we ask for outside support?"

"Allies are always welcome...send a message"

FROM:Emililio Sanchez
TO: THE WORLD

For too long has our nation been abused by Mokastana....We beg you to help us escape their grip and free the nation of Mejico from their tyranny.

Please help us!!!

Mokastana City: Emergency Situations Bunker

"Currently Mokastana has 400 Divisions. As of yesterday Mejico had 130, Tierra Nueva had 80, Sur had 120 and the Islands had 70. In the occupied Territories. 40 Mejican Divisions under the Command of Generalissimo Manuel Durkin are standing guard and protecting them."

"Is Durkin Loyal?"

"We don't know as of now. We can only hope, Canarias is online making a deal with him...Canarias??"

"He will hold the territory for the expansion of the nation, but they will not march south. If he tries that then the Generals will turn on him." Canarias Spoke up and continued with the Communications."

"We'll then its better then them riding against us. How many Divisions in Mejico Turned?"

"of the remaining 90 in Mejico, approximatively 53 are now flying independents colors. Leaving us with 37 loyal Divisions in the Region. Not to mention enemy militias, this is going to be a war sir."

Presidential Palace of the Sur Region

Presidente Maria Montana was considered one of the most evil leaders of the Confederacy. The only thing worse then her bad temper was her influence. Her cousin was Antonio Montana, one of the worlds largest Drug emperors.
Last week a Bolivian Uprising had lead to a small battles all over the region and now evidence pointed to the fact that someone from outside the nation was involved, now with a close border the Sur region was locked down. Now with Civil war in the North Maria came to a small logical conclusion.

"Assist both sides on this war. Call my cousin and have him smuggle the necessary goods to the north so the independents can fight the good fight. Then supply the Mokan dogs with everything the confederates believe should be theirs..."

TO: David Aposon, President of Uiri
FROM: Confederate Command, President Nicolas Villa

We are having difficulty yes, but we would prefer to keep only familiar faces on Mokan soil as of now. If the situation heats up we may ask for your help

TO: Field Marshal Ward, Commander, Task Force Epsilon
FROM: Generalissimo Ivan Cararias

We have been waiting to see your troops in action and this civil war may be the chance to see how you fair. Mind you that the enemy will be armed with Lyras IronHearts as well. We await your response Field Marshal.

Thank you

A large airship floated over international waters, batteries of missiles hanging under the dazzle-camoflauged exterior. It was a Consul-class AirCruiser, holding over 2000 tonnes of munitions for use against an enemy. And that enemy had just been found.

The airship which had been drifting in the wind roared to life, the 4 turbojets propelling it roaring up to maximum thrust as the pushed the ship in a different direction, towards Mokastana. ETA was 1 hour. Once it did arrive though...

OK we will look out
For any messages you send

We will not send troops unless
You ask us but
We would like you to know
About the message

We thank you for your help in intercepting that message. We will deal with it as we see fit.

TO: Generalissimo Ivan Cararias, Mokastana Military HQ
FROM: Field Marshal Ward, Commander, Task Force Epsilon

Ivan

It is good that you are willing to accept our help. Now is not the time for misplaced pride, and we are honoured by the trust you place in us.

I will put the request in to Warmarshal Krell shortly, and to that end I need as much information as you can give me. Maps of Mokastana, ORBATS for friendly, independent and Mejican forces, deployments, where possible, and so on.

Then, I strongly advise that you shut off your satelite downlinks. This will cut rebel and independent access to orbital reconaissance, and mean that your network will be intact at the end of hostilities. We will realtime network Lyran satellite recon to you, to maintain your coverage in the interim.

Please advise also of what level of force you want us to use. While we could flatten the entire rebellious province, we doubt that that would be ideal. Task Force Epsilon fields 1992 divisions, just shy of 40 million personnel. How much we use will be reliant on the guidelines you establish.

Stay your course, Ivan. My men and I will be with you as soon as we are able.

Yours

OOC:Does anyone need military equipment?Regarding resistance groups and such?

OOC: Ok overall....

Independents are in Mejico

they have 53 Armed divisions, they are as follows....

Imperial Iron Heart Division: 21
20,000 Standard Infantry
600 Iron heart APCs (7,200)
600 Iron Heart IFVs (4,800)
200 Iron Heart ATMGs
50 Iron Heart Command post
200 Iron Heart Mortars
200 Iron Heart Ambulances
500 Iron Heart SAMs
4500 Battle transport Trucks
500 AH-64D Apache Longbow

Confederate Battle Division: 25
20,000 Standard Infantry
1,000 APCs (12,000)
1,000 IFVs (8,000)
500 T-90S MBT
500 AMJ3 MBT
50 Iron Heart Command post
100 SAM
500 AH-64D Apache Longbow

50 Iron Heart Command post
200 Iron Heart Ambulances
200 AH-64D Apache Longbow

6,000 Transport trucks
8,000 Support Personnel

Then they have approximately 2 million troops that are armed with A-03, A-07s, AM-07s, AK-47s, RPGs and other small arms. A few APCs and old school tanks, like T-62s...nothing major though...Most of the those guns use different munitions so the unorganized militias are are more of a guerrilla force then actual fighting force....

As for Air force they have MIG-29s and a few Bear Bombers....Unorganized due to most were stolen by pilots and crews who joined the Independent cause....

In the Sur region the Bolivian Rebel Movement...total men assumed around 450,000 men. Armed with AK-47s and RPG-7s, all of their tanks were destroyed. No air force, nor air fields.


As with all Mokan Civil Wars the Navy is remaining Neutral and gaurding the waters against invaders, arms shipments on the other hand, they accept bribes to let those pass....

The battle of Cancun

The Independents were on the move, the Cancun Peninsula was filling with them. 12 Divisions rolled up and were marching toward the city and to stop them 8 Loyalist Division were preparing to fight, this would be the first time Mokan Shock Divisions would see combat. Sure in Tatom they moved and had one or two firefights, but never theatre deployment, and now 2 of them along with 10 other divisions rolled up to crush the loyalist, once cancun fell they could surround the last pocket and finally get a hold of Mejico once and for all, the day of liberation was coming...and anyone caught in the middle would be, well no one planned on it...

An alarm bawled throughout Station Solace 3: time to move out. 3 divisions began to use transports in the form of aircraft and ships to get ready for the ensuing civil war. Time now for the aiding of an ally.

Battle of Cancun

"shit Sir, we are getting hit hard by enemy artillery!"

"Sir enemy helos are flying in, SAMs can only take out so much"


"Shock troopers!!"

The Independents were making a push up the middle of he peninsula, the goad was to force the loyalist into the sea. Or at least stop them from moving around to much and cut them off. While the loyalist were outnumbered 3 to 2 the enemy militia was even more damaging then the artillery bombardments. The situation could be considered something similiar to Vietnam, the battle lines were nothing more then lines on paper. While the city of Cancun was in theory safe behind the confederate lines Independents were smashing down bridges and other infrastructure, killing the supply lines to the front. Loyalist Militias was being formed up in the city and that was the only reason it wasn't captured yet.

"we need reinforcements..."

Screams on the radio were the call signs for the consul-class airship floating in. On its onboard RADAR, the helicopters showed up easily.

The underside missile pods revolved to face the targets, and clouds of smoke blew out as the modified SkySingers flew out towards the targets. Meanwhile, the signal was sent to the incoming forces.

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

15000 men sat inside their LY219 IFVs, waiting for the signal. The dockside beckoned them. A klaxon sound, and a ramp extened from the transport ship. At once, the IFVs started up their engines and roared out onto the metal plate, lifted by the movable floor to the safe unloading level above water-line.

Within 15 minutes, the division was out of the 5 transport ships that had carried them across the seas. A signal crossed to Mokastana.

"This is Alfegos Mech. Division 3: how can we be of assistance?"

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

Behind them, the rest began to arrive.

"Alfegos Mech Division 3 welcome to hell, where can you be most assistance? We are attacking Satlillo and defending Cancun, Cancun needs the most help, Tijuanna has geography on its side"

"Copy, over and out"

The IFVs hit full speed as they came onto the tarmac roads, driving rapidly towards the area of battle. Overhead flew 10 planes from the 70th Bomber squadron, who began to let loose missiles at the enemy along with heavy fire from the nose-mounted weaponry.

Behind them came the armour, rumbling along slower but with more purpose. They escorted the rocket artillery into place, where they could begin to fire.

"Longbow missiles on enemy emplacements over. And could we get an airship in? That might scare them off a bit."

"We already have one."

The airship, the AAS Consul, opened its underside doors, letting the thousands of missiles inside come to bear. A few seonds later, longbow missiles flew out, targeted for the pockets of enemy resistance near them. From up here, the infared and visual cameras could see the entire battlefield with ease.

A Mokan Patrol was getting hit hard by rebel militia when the airship came into view. Seeing thousands of missiles fly out of these giant warships was as beautiful as is was frightening...The rebels finished off the patrol and ran back to HQ to report what they saw....


Independent HQ, Cancun Front

"Sir, the Alfegos troops are landing, and they are clearing are pieces off the map with missile attacks."

"I know removing Patriot batteries from the Divisions was a bad idea, thats what we get for putting air defense in the hands of the air force. How many men to they got?"

"Approxamently 150,000 sir"

"well there goes are overwelming forces, ok switch to guerrilla mode. Supply the militias the most. Defend every inch with every gun! and when we lose some leave them presents..." the Generalissimo smiled an evil grin.


On the roads to the battle the Alfegos were greeted with Mokan troops more then happy to see the calvary finally show up. As one soldier stood to wave at the passing IFVs rockets streamed over head towards the column of Alfegos IFVs and mortar rounds struck the Mokan's already pinned down positions. Behing the column a platoon of Rebels fired machine gun rounds and tossed sticky bombs as the last few pasts. One thing for sure was, this wasnt going to be a cake walk...


30 Miles north

A village was taken capture by Independent forces, all loyalist were being dragged out and shot in the streets, being called traitors to the Mejican cause and thier homes loaded with supplies for the revolution's cause. One Woman was pulled out by her hair with child in hand...

"MOMMY!!!!! MOMMYYY!!!!"

The butt of a soldier's AM-07 silenced the 4 year old child.

"Please," the mother begged..."Do what you want to me, but dont hurt my son..."

"Anything chica?" the soldier licked his lips, and let his imagination run wild, it had been a while since he had a good fuck, and she wasnt half bad...

"Cry for me punta"

he took the knife to her shirt and cut it open...

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

"Command we see a supply house, dropping grease over!"

---------

"Please, please, no" She begged as the two MIG-29s flew overhead, to the MIGs they saw the village becoming a storehouse for enemy militia arms...four bombs loaded with napalm fell as they passed overhead. The first hit a house loaded with explosives. The explosion took out half the village while the rest of the area was cooked. Both the woman and soldier burned.

Five Longsword-class supercapital missile ships formed the centre of the first wave of Task Force Epsilon. The Longsword itself served as force flag, and it was aboard that ship that Field Marshal Ward held his final staff briefing, in preparation for the first phase of the assault.

Ward spoke first.

"Gentlemen, I need not inform you of why we are here, prior briefings have covered that. The situation continues to be fluid, and we aim to restore some predictability to the situation. Phase line "Bravo" will be reached in about three hours, and then the second phase of our operations (http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb62/2821090/Epsilonattackplan.gif) will begin."

He appraised the personnel in front of him, and was satisfied in the eye contact. Much could be determined by examining a soldier's gaze, for good or ill.

"Once 'Bravo' is reached, the Longsword, Dreadful Bride, Undaunted, and Insuppressable will seperate from the fleet with their escorts, and turn south, towards engagement area 'Charlie'. Upon entry to engagement area 'Charlie', they will commence theatre suppression and target neutralisation. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Longsword-class, details are in your technical folders (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13152733&postcount=474). Suffice to say, that for the purposes of us ground-pounders, the key information is that each of these ships carries 11,000 multi-role cruise missiles, an extensive long-to-extreme range air defence suite and theatre-level air search and tracking radars. Once situated at 'Charlie', the Longsword detachment will systematically destroy each and every airfield within the independent zone of control, as established by satellite imagery. And, lets face it folks, airfields aren't things you hide..."

The chuckle he recieved was almost predictable. Everyone had to laugh at his jokes. He was the boss. That thought almost made him chuckle as well.

"In case they miss anything, their AD batteries have a green light. Anything in the air that isn't squawking friendly on IFF will find itself with a LY4030 or -4031 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13101916&postcount=1) up its tailpipe. While that's going on, each ship's complement of ASW helicopters will keep the waters clear of submarines, but intel reports that the Mokastanan Navy is staying out of this. If anything does open fire, you may shoot back, but as per rules of engagement, DO NOT engage their navy if at all possible. We CAN brute force it, but these people are our allies, and we're supposed to be here to help."

He surveyed those in front of him again. Attentive consideration showed on their faces. Good.

"The last of our Longsword-class ships, the Falchion, will continue on with the assault elements to provide anti-air cover and area suppression of the landing zone. Brigadier Jeffries..."

The brigadier, task force J2, stood and walked up to the front, continuing the briefing.

"The landing zone is just north of the town of Corpus Christi, and is nominally still under the Confederacy's control. However, Independent forces have been trying to further isolate the Altamira-Tampico pocket, and have been pushing towards Houston and San-Antonio. It is uncertain whether the area will still be friendly once we get their, but we can assume that if they shoot at us, they are not our friends."

No one laughed. Intelligence services, the world over, were famous for the 'We're certain! We bet your life on it' philosophy, and Lyras was no exception.

Jeffries, somewhat chagrinned by the lack of response, continued.

"Irrespective, we are sending the first waves in hot, but under orders not to fire unless fired upon. The Falchion will be weapon's free, so at the first sign of opposition to the landings, it'll flatten every building between and including Corpus Christi and Matamoros."

THAT got a chuckle.

"14th and 18th Marine Assault Corps, of the 229th Army, will be the first wave, consisting, as most of you already know, 76th, 77th, 97th and 99th Marine Mech, and 78th and 96th Marine Armoured, divisions. Once they've secured the landing zone up to phase line 'Echo', the second echelons will land. 2nd Echelon is the 122nd and 224th Armies, who will push along the coast, to open up supply lines for the Altamira-Tampico pocket."

He paused a little, then opened the floor. There were no questions so far.

"Sirs, this and Cancun are where the bulk of the Independent regular forces are located. Expect to fight. They may not be particularly heavy formations, but they are motivated, and are unlikely to give or seek quarter, at least initially. I know that we haven't operated in conjunction with the Longswords yet, but don't be reluctant to call on them for fire support. That's why they are here. To keep enemy rotary and fast air assets of our heads, and to keep their troops hiding in their foxholes."

The mood within the room was becoming more optimistic. Not that either Jeffries or Field Marshal Ward were really surprised. There was an awful lot of combat hardware going into this operation. It was expected to be, at least at this stage, a relatively straightforward one.

"We have realtime satellite recon, and our support, naval and air, will hit any targets of opportunity in addition to the programmed ones. Be careful, but bear in mind that we do have, or shortly will have, complete aerospace supremacy. Sir."

Ward stood back up, and made his way back to the lectern.

"Thank you, Brigadier. You have all been provided with individual briefs, and as you are all know, my door is always open. Unless its closed. If it IS closed, please, for the love of the Almighty, leave it that way, unless we are sinking. You can all wait your turn."

The room laughed again. The Field Marshal, Lyras' youngest at a scant 38, was known for being fond of female company, and Lyras had no law against fraternisation. They knew what he meant. He sobered up, and continued.

"Mokastana is an ally. Their officers are, for many of us, personal friends. This is their country, and these are their people. Be respectful, courteous and polite. Be as delicate as you possibly can. Avoid unnecessary damage whenever possible. If you accidentally damage something, report it, and give the owner a receipt for damages. Make sure you sign the bloody thing as well. Above all, while I don't hold my saying it to be necessary, say it I shall. Conduct yourselves with honour, as warriors of the Protectorate."

He paused to scan the room once more, searching for confusion or questions.

"Dismissed."

Nuevo Orleans, Presidential Palace

Adam Jackson, or should I say President Adam Jackson stood in his office dumbfounded. How could this of happened? He managed this long to keep the Mejico war out of Tierra Nueva for this long, and now this Generalissimo wanted to bring it in his region, to bring his troops into the war to fight the Lryas and Alfegos armies.

Adam's life had been filled with problems like this since his first office as the mayor of Nuevo Orleans back before Mokastana bought the country. Only back then he fought for stability and managed to control the Mardi Grass riots that always broke out. Then he was the lead negotiator on the terms of the purchase of the south. His skill and power made him a great candidate for president of this region. Despite being of the minority white population he managed to win over the people with his promises of safety, security, but most importantly, Freedom.

And now, here he stood, the second time he was threatened by a Generalissimo of the confederate army for use and control of his forces. Only this time they wanted to use his armies to wage war and bring chaos to this region.

"You don't know what you would be doing. We got the information of what is coming in. The Independents have no Air force, there is no way they can when, and even with our air force their would be no--"

"Listen to me Senor Jackson, you have no choice this is a coup. We own this region now. It is not up to you to decide what happens to this region anymore. If you are lucky we will let you live. Take him away and jail him"

Cancun Peninsula


The Sniper was well trained. After all Jaguar training was the Special Forces, perhaps the Mokan Equivalent of Green Berets, or Navy Seals. Through his scopes he could see the outline of the Great Tourist attractions of Cancun. Alfegos troops were forming up along with Mokan troops to push the Independents back into Mejico, but thats why the Shock Divisions were sent up. Both Divisions were forming up on the sides of the city, and for the sake of maps had surrounded it. He looked around the formations. Looking for target or information.

Field Sargent, Captain, Private, Private First Class, Corperal, Staff Sargent, Private, Division Colonel,

wait what was he doing here? There was only one Division assigned to Cancun and apparently here was its commander.

He sighted in, checked wind speed. His Breath slowed. His spotter kept an eye on the target. and looking for escorts or retaliation forces....

his breath slowed....

No counter attacks that they couldnt outrun or hide from...

his finger squeezed the trigger... and all he saw was the pink mist of a kill


Home Island Fleet

Admiral Franshaw knew that with every Civil war nowadays someone would show to play, and or take some land for their own. So he had issued long ago the Franshaw Protocol, the navies main concern is the protection of the mainland. No matter the Government or stability they would stay neutral. This was spawned from the loss of the entire Mokastana Navy from a Naval battle 13 years ago, Long before Mokastana joined the international scene. Admiral Franshaw was the only Brass to survive and it took 10 years to rebuild the navy to the strength it had, only to find out how inadequate it was. They emerged in a day of SuperDreadnoughts and massive missile attacks. The Navy couldnt keep up with outside ones so if there was one thing that they would not do is kill each other. Mokans would rather fight along side with their enemies then let outsiders take their homeland.

So when a fleet of Lryas ships arrived within the navies territory they knew something had to be up. Word was they were here to assist the Confederacy in defeating the Independents, but they would still be Treated with caution.

"Lryas Fleet, This is Admiral Franshaw of the Mokastana Navy. What brings you to this chaos?"

Wolf packs continued to keep an eye on the fleet and gather intelligence on these ships, after all the army loved Lryas goods, maybe the navy would too...

The communication came through to the CIC of the Longsword, routed in via laser-link from the destroyer Sheridan. A comms operator raised both eyebrows. An Admiral? Not a communication you got every day.

He raised a microphone, and spoke into it.

"Ship Commander, CIC."

About ten seconds passed, then the communication came back.

"CIC, this is the ship commander."

"Sir, message from an Admiral Franshaw."

The ship commander's eyebrows, in turn, rose towards his receding hairline. An admiral, eh... above his head. He'd want to talk to Fleet General Montwyn or Field Marshal Ward. Best the Field Marshal.

"Acknowledged CIC. Route it through to Field Marshal Ward."

The comms operator shook his head to himself. Talk about seeing stars...

------

Ward was looking over the final assault plans that General Bathgate's 14th Marine Assault Corps had submitted for the landings. They looked good. The gun-cruiser Port Finch had been requested to provide close-in fire support, and Ward was going to agree. 30 minutes to phase-line bravo. It was about time to make arrangements to transfer to his command vehicle.

As such when his comm-unit activated, he was very surprised to hear the voice of Admiral Franshaw.

"Admiral, this is a surprise... we are hear at the request of Generalissimo Canarias. We plan to land personnel, and render direct offensive support to Confederate manoeuvers-in-force. Would you like to participate, or do you intend to adhere to your stance on neutrality?"

From: The Grand World Order of Foreign Affairs

Greetings, Mokastana. We at the Grand World order wish to deploy a force of Federal Guardsmen (GWO National Police) and S.T.F. Agents to the Sur region to deal with the Bolivian Rebel Movement. Also, we would like to send 1,250 Divine Tiger Class Tanks, supported by 8,000 Marines, to assist in combat operations in Cancun.


((OOC: The GWO's police forces are officially part of the military. They belong to the Unconventional Warfare/Governmental Affairs Department. Their equipment is SOMEWHAT similar to a GWO Army Infantryman, but obviously lighter for better mobility. They wear full body armor, gas masks and Protective Undersuits included. Protective undersuit = nearly skintight undergarment with FWS-inspired "liquid armor" forming the top layer, and a NBC protective material forming the innermost protective layer. A comforting material forms the bottom. Their gas masks are different in design, but the same in functionality, with the same vocoder voice. They are armed with FSARS Semi Automatic Twinbarrel Shotguns and MP7-like SMGs.))

The Flagship of the Mokan Navy stood quietly in the waters. It was one of the first Zapatista Class battleships to of been made by Mokastana Industries. The First of the ships to try and become a decent naval opponent. on board was the Chief Admiral Alex Franshaw, his fleet was getting ready to head to Greal and assist the civil war over their, after all with a few powerful allies coming in, Mokastana could spare some troops for an old friend, not to mention the Admiral's Brother was a prisoner there....

"Thanks for the offer but i prefer not to launch my missiles against the land i swore to protect. I'm sure you have all the firepower you need. As for Canarias, he just sent me the information about your arrival. He's always been so punctual. My the Navy has affairs of its own to take care off, but thank you for not shooting first and asking questions later."


Confederate Command, Mokastana City

"Mr. President, we got reports that the Sur Region is suppling both sides and there has been a coup in Tierra Nueva. On the bright side The Grand World Order has offered us troops."

"Deploy them to Cancun, we will use that to strike back in, shock the enemy into falling apart. They need a victory there so they can prove to the world their power, that they are a nation and not a rebellion. As for the fall of the Confederacy..." President Nicolas Villa turned to Generalissimo Canarias, "Canarias, we shall issue Directive 777, do you got that?"

"Sir, doing that will bring the nation to revolution. Are you sure you want to?"

"Canarias, we have no nation. They must be united."

"Very well, I Shall rally the troops President Villa, or should i say Generalissimo Villa."

The mortar fire and grenades started flying past. The sticky bombs hit the slat armour around the vehicles, with a lucky few managing to explode on the vehicle itself, doing minimal to major damage.

Anyone intellignet enough to lob a stick grenade was soon met with heavy machinegun fire as they scampered away.

As for the mortars, the cameras onboard the airship had found their positions from the small clods of smoke produced, which soon were obliterated either by a cluster-longbow missile or a sinlge napalm bomb.

Once an area had been cleared, the platoons from the 1st Batallion, 1st Regiment, disembarked and began to pepperpot upon the enemy positions, the rest being kept in reserve and ready for other attacks.

In total, 25 platoons began to secure objectives, with heavy fire from the airship aiding them easily.

OOC: can you send me some specks on the airship, so that the Independent spotters have an idea of what they are looking at

IC:

Independent Command, Unknown location

"Commander Sanchez, the first shipment of supplies from the south has arrived in Port, they will be in Mejico City in two days."

"We need more then that, has anyone offered us support in this war?"

"A Generalissimo by the name of Serrano has staged a coup in Tierra Neuva, if all goes well then that will be another 80 Divisions assist us, and with luck that will persuade Durkin to join us, giving us another 40."

"An extra 120 Division would be more then enough to crush Lyras and Alfegos, Offer him anything he wants if he can ensure those 80 Divisions."

"more good news sir we got this:

To: Emililio Sanchez

We wish to help the nation of Mejico in their time of need. We will send supplies as well as soldiers and trainers to make sure Mokastana will fall. The Indonesian force will land on the west coast of Mejico, nearest to Mejico City. I suggest that we capture the city of Santa Villa, to gain land and get good support from the southern people of Mokastana.

"reply and thank them. Do anything you can to get them here"

Confederate Hall, Mokastana City

The once glorious MPA was now a small portion of what it used to be, now it was nothing more then another random militia in a nation full of them. But they had managed not to be destroyed by the government for one reason and one reason alone. The majority of the government was part of it, while in the confederate system the MPA could exercise little if any power on the government at hand, but now with it falling apart they were called on to bring stability to the nation. The plans had been in place for years now, the takeover, Directive 777. In Mokastana City MPA forces were moving in on and capturing Confederate offices and buildings any Confederates who tried to resist were ordered to stand down by President Nicolas Villa himself.

After all he was both the president of the confederacy AND Jefe de Generalissimos of the MPA....so the switch of power was an easy one. The trouble was in Bogota and Nuevo Orleans. In Bogota they stormed the presidential palace and captured President Maria Montana as she was calling her cousin to tell him how much munitions to sell to the Independents. needless to say she was arrested for treason, the head Generalissimo is Sur was a Juan Dugal, son of the late President DUgal

The Consul class airship continued to float at 8000 feet, its usual operating height. It was a single massive white gasbag, 600 metres long and 150 metres wide, with two small gondolas at the front and back, holding the crew and the engines. Along its undeside were 6 missile pods, holding each AAMs. Inside the gasbag however was hidden a massive framework holding the thousands of missiles, as well as a hidden helicopter and two escape gliders. From the forward gondola protruded three devices: two were miniguns and one was a 5 MW laser dazzeler for taking out enemy missiles.

It was the first of the class, the AAS Consul, and the hardened crew of 16 men were all experienced in airship warfare.

Bogota, Sur Region, Mokastana

"Atteniontion Confederate Forces. This is Generalissimo Juan Dugal, we are under a state of emergency. The President has been arrested for treason and I have ordered a team to arrest Antonio Montana for treason as well. I need you to secure your local areas and ensure no Bolivian Uprisings or any more exports make it to the Mejico Region. That is all"

Across the region commanders and soldiers did as the Generalissimo ordered. They secured there locations and prepared for the second Bolivian uprising.

Nuevo Orleans

If only the power struggle could of been as easy here as it was everywhere else. Already President Jackson was arrested and Generalissimo Serrano was
already giving orders to assist in the attack on the islands when an explosion rocked the presidential gates and Jaguar Elites poured into the complex. Confederate troops fired when they saw them but the coordination of the attack made it a quick disposal. They stormed the building and met more resistance, only this time the Generalissimo was ready for them. He called in some Mi-24s to rescue him and clear up this mess as the hallways filled with gunfire. IFVs were called in to the fight....

Cancun Peninsula

A battered Confederate battalion saw the approaching Alfegos troops and waved hi, and continued to hold position until they passed. As one Alfegos IFV passed the trench with Confederates one turned and aimed his RPG-29 at the side and fired. Two of his comrades pulled him to the ground and began to beat on him to a pulp. Two other men from their unit ran up and aimed thier rifles in the trench and ordered them to stop beating him up..when an Alfegos soldier showed up he was shot at by one of the men on top of the trench..

all hell was breaking loose

OOC: Do you have any White supremacists or fascists in your nations? I ask because these are the groups my country would most favor in this conflict.

*Sounds of airplanes shaking*
Soldiers of Rithian quickly drop down. As the soldiers run down they move towards Mejico City to meet there soon to be allies. As troops scatter taking samples of the ground for research, they quickly power on their BDS(Battlefield Detection System) And find their way to Mejico City

A Carrier somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, near Mejico…

“So, our plan is made?”
“Iya, boss,” The man replied, “4 divisions land in Santa Villa, to gain support of the people and to easily gain land in the southern parts, where there is little Mokastana Resistance.”

“Yes, go on”

“But sir, don’t you think it’s a little unfair to attack a place that’s not fighting the Independents?”

“You may think that, but Mokas territory is Mokas territory. After all, we aren’t attacking the civilians, but quite the opposite. We are there to gain support, and hopefully the townspeople join the Independent’s cause. Okay, how about the other plans, soldier?”

“Yes, sir. After the capture of Santa Villa, we hope the Mejican troops will press on that southern region, so the town will be linked with the rest of Mejico. From there, we plan to go south, capturing the Panama Canal - which I don’t understand why we need to – and gain support from civilian Mokas, which we hope will join the Independants.
The rest of the troops, 5 divisions, will land in Independent’s territory, and go to Mejico City. They will make a small base there, where they can store weapons and sleep. The base also is a training facility, where Independent troops will be well-trained and well-equipped by our soldiers.
We will only operate in the Central-American region for now, and hopefully all of it will be Mejican land. We will not be participating in the Battle of Cancun unless the Independant’s desperately need it.
Oh, I almost forgot the Bolivians. What about them, General?”

“Ah, yes, how could we miss that…? We will think about that as we go. Dismissed.”

"Sir we have numerous forces arriving to assist, Rithians, however we dont know how many, we got their message and saw planes while The Indonesian states are deploying 5 division to Santa Villa and cutting off the Confederates there."

"Great, have we found a way to get rid of that airship thing in Cancun yet?"

"No sir, we are working on it, If you dont mind me asking why do you want that thing down so bad?"

"Morale, destroy it and everyone sees it go down, without the supreme air cover it offers it will hinder the troops, they will think of us as dangerous foes. If we can take that thing down."

Santa Villa, Military observation point

Two soldiers sat and played card while their corporal was bitching about the navy all in the small radar control room. They were suppose to be on watch in case anything came out of the sea, like an invasion, but they doubted that and continued to jack around, glancing at the monitor every now and then.

"So any other situation and the navy promises safely and security..the moment one of ours pulls a gun out and they claim neutrality...figures..ehhh, what do we need em for anyways, we got harpoons, and railguns, and hell, those pretty 16 inch guns here and there along the coasts. We dont need the fucking navy"

Behind them an explosion shook downtown Santa Villa...What appeared to be supplies to the front line was ambushed and blown to bits. Shots could be heard by the distant popping noises they made.

"Fucking Independents, and their love for surprises...no doubt we got loyalist behind their lines pulling, the same shit..."

One man looked from his card game and on to the radar screen, and noticed something odd.

"hey corperal shut up and look at this!"

Generalissimo Dugal was helping the team search through Maria Montana's documents and other files looking for information that could lead to her indictment when a message came through on his PDA. Live Video feed from Generalissimo Villa, or President Villa, depending on the situation.

"Sir, What can I do for you, Sir?"

"Relax Dugal, just keep looking for something to tag her with, as for the reason i called, We have men from The Grand World Order coming in to assist in the crushing of the Bolivians. Have they acted up yet?"

"No sir, I think they learned their lesson"

"Commander, we got a few thousand men, one tank battalion and a substantial number of APCs and IFVs why don't we strike? We are better organized this time."

"Because the Independents uprising has brought down the hammer of death from men around the world, no doubt some are being deployed here. Sure some may try to help us, but the confederates knew that we would listen in on the battle and strike when most opportune, why else do you think they struck our Radar stations? our Radio receivers? our telephone lines even. They don't want us disorganized, they want us blind. Who charges blind into battle, we need to capture a commutations center first. Then decide on what to do..."

((OOC: I hope you don't mind the bad time comparison in this post, but I have to go after this post.))


Off-shore of Cancun, Mokastana-

Several ships from territories on the North American East Coast and Northern S. America were almost within view of Cancun. The Marines were gearing up for combat, and the ship crews were standing near their artillery cannons and missile launch tubes.

GWO Southwestern America Territory-

A massive gathering of Federal Guardsmen, RSAV Riot Tanks, and S.T.F. Agents was at the military airstrip. They were all boarding the Hippo class helicopters, which were massive helicopters nearly the size of an average commercial airliner. Commanche helicopters with extra fuel pods were already in the air, and F-35s were preparing for take off. The helicopters were relatively confortable, unlike most military helicopters. They had rows of seats, and a "jump room" in the back for paradrops in case of emergency. The Helicopters slowly started to take off and head to Sur.

Rithian soldiers make it to Mejico City. They stand in a basic formation as they walk in, it appears that they have many different types of guns, but most prefer the LK-14 model Pistol. The soldiers are numbered around 120. There are also two tanks following behind the soldiers. As the soldiers walk into Mejico City they look for the commotion.

The chaos suddenly spread as the batallions started shooting at each other. The Captain tried to call order in the only way he could: withdrawing the troops from this massive dangerous brawl.

"What the hell are they doing Mokastana command? Get them under control, before we do it for you."

The IFVs drove back, one of them being towed after its engine was taken out. A field ambulance drove off quickly carrying the injured personnel.

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

If the Mokastana revolutionaries were demoralised by the single airship, the arrival of the rest of the flotilla was bound to demoralise them further. Another consul-class airship, the AAS Comrade, was station nearer the coast, taking the occasional shot at revolutionaries on the coast as well as their boats, while the AAS Consul was joined by a small Trade-wind class patrol airship (not to be confused with the civilian one). At 220m long, and 40m wide, it was not the nost heavily armed of airships, having only two underslung missile pods and an internal bay carrying 80 tonnes of munitions.Its purpose was to provide more air support, and to provide rapid patrols of the area.

OOC: sorry, i cant go on that often...

IC:
Capture of Santa Villa
The Indonesian soldiers looked like a nervous wreck. They have heard stories that Mokastana was very violent, and there were many kidnappings and murders, though this was not completely true. It seemed like forever, and the troops felt very impatient. Finally, they landed on the beach, and got in position.

"Open Fire!!!!"

The sounds of gunfire was everywhere. There was little resistance, for it seemed like the city was sleeping. Quickly capturing the pier in less that 10 minutes, they made their way to the houses by the shore.


Meanwhile, somewhere to the north-west...

"Welcome to Mejico, General Pattimura! We hope you have a nice stay. Let's get started on that base of yours!"

Looks good so far. I'll keep an eye on this.

The captain of the Rithian soldiers, Palio Santos wishes to build a Transmission Headquarters which the soldiers are used to fighting with. That would also double as a base for the troops. Suddenly four airplanes come overhead, and the last of the Rithian troops drop down in mejico city.

"Why didn't our captain think of dropping us on Mejico City?" said a soldier.

Mejico City

Confederate Artillery was finnally in position and began hammering away at enemy locations in and around the city, the Command Bunker was being shook as they tried to decide their next move. The thunder in the distance was now on top of them as each shell got closer, shaking the dimly lit room and knocking dust off the ceiling in short burst of blinding powders...

"Sir, Ritharian troops are in the city commander!"

"Call them and tell them to send someone to our locaiton, I want to meet them personally. As for position get them lined with the northern defense ring, they can use our channels and radios, but tell them to reinforce that northern wall..."

Outside

Numerous Indpendent Units saw the arrival of the new troops, from the look of it some independents thought that this was thier first time in real combat. One man, Lut. Perez, told them that they needed to make it to the command bunker 3 blockes down...behind him the skline of the city burned a nice ember, and they were marching towards it.

Santa Villa

OCC: I would call godmode because you made it to the beach without me attacking, but instead I'm just going to roll with it...we'll see where it takes us.

IC:
The city was caught off guard, but some men rumored that the Captain in charge was a Independent supporter and thats why the 16 inch guns didn't start firing until the enemy was on the pier. Though to the north Harpoon systems were warned and fired 32 anti-shipping missiles into the enemy fleet, while the 16 ich guns fired their artillery rounds unto the troop transports. They were in Mokan soil, and now they were going to pay for every inch of it. The confederate troops managed to rally at the town square formed a push into enemy lines lead by AMJ3 Main Battle Tanks, who 150mm gun was a great way to welcome the enemy to their new land. The independent terrorist in the city decided to sit this one out and watch the battle take place. Popping out only to fire an RPG here or a grenade thier, however for real battle effectiveness, they did little but de-moralize the Confederate troops.


Cancun Peninsula

"Alfegos command, our ranks have been compromised, we are fighting an idealogical war here, no soldiers loyalty can be certain, on the bright side it is the same for the enemy. We both have men in both camps. Please don't be demoralized by these pop-shots. We will take care of them"

If only it was that easy, overall 1 in 20 confederate troops was a Independent sympathizer. and 1 in 10 Independent (ex-confederate) troop was an Confederate Sympathizer. This was shown when entire Battalions were switching sides. THough the loyalty issue was not a problem when units from The islands arrived, overall 20 Divisions were landing in Cancun to reinforce and make the push back into Mejico. Leading the Charge was General Charles Villa, Nicolas' Brother. After the death of the local officer he decided to go out and lead the conquest of Mejico himself.

we support our fellow ally Alfegos and offer 200 million dollars to the rightful goverment as well as the use of our Protoss Penal Corps currently numbering around 1.8 million,

OOC: I'm going to assume you already called the Rithianiac Troops(Ritharian is cool, it doesn't matter)

IC: "Hmm, North Wall? Well judging by the name I guess that means head to the north, will do." said the Rithian armies' commander as he ordered his troops to turn on their BDS devices and find their way to the north wall.

Off the Cancun Peninsula-

The Federation Fleet was in view of the peninsula, and sending out radio signals to the Mokastana High Command in that area. "Mokastana High Command, this is the Grand World Order semi-flagship Sword of Mars, requesting coordinates for troop deployments." said one of the radio operators, waiting for a reply. The Marines were already suited up and in their departure areas.

Somewhere over Mokastana near the Sur region-

The fleet of helicopters was nearly in Sur. Each helicopter was loaded with tents, concrete, Federal Guardsmen, S.T.F. Agents, RSAV Riot Control Tanks, and other supplies. They could barely make out a city in the Sur Region on the horizon.

OOC: the population is 65% Hispanic, 20% Ingenious and 10% white and 5% other...as for fascist, the Confederacy has hunted them down to extinction. There is not formal White Power Militia but if you wanted to find some supremacist's try Teirra Nueva: Miamius, Nuevo Orleans or CalzonOOC: So I take it there would be at least one to two of your population whom I can choose puppet leaders from for the essentially apartheid government that my nation’s force would seek to establish.

Mejico City


Lut. Perez had met up with the Rithian forces.

"Welcome to the battle, you guys look like you need some transportation."

He picked up his radio and called in transport trucks and some Ironheart APCs.

"How many men you got? I need to know how many to call in."


Cancun Military Command, Generalissimo Villa's Office

"Mokastana High Command, this is the Grand World Order semi-flagship Sword of Mars, requesting coordinates for troop deployments."

"This is Generalissimo Villa, bring your ships into Cancun harbor, its a bit crowded. The navy is using it to store excess ships that they need to get rid off. Overhead we are flying in reinforcements but get unloaded there and we will push back into Mejico."


Sur Region

"This is Generalissimo Dugal, acting government of the Sur region. Forces of The Grand World Order, please land in Bogotá AF base, or Cararaz AF base. Surround them."

FROM: Mokastana High Command

While we are grateful for offer of supplies and will take them, we must say that we don't think that your WW2 era equipment will be very effective in this war. However the Militias are severely unarmed and are more then grateful for bullets and rockets.

Thank you

"This is Generalissimo Dugal, acting government of the Sur region. Forces of The Grand World Order, please land in Bogotá AF base, or Cararaz AF base. Surround them."


Cancun Peninsula-

"Coordinates recieved, we're coming in." said the radio operator. Marines were loading their weapons in case of a quick rebel attack on the dropoff point. The fleet then sailed into the harbor.

Sur Region-

"10-4, proceeding to Cararaz Air Force base, requesting a refuel for our escorts." said the pilot of the lead Hippo helocopter, which was laden with S.T.F. Agents. Several Commanche helciopters and F-35s landed on the runway, as they needed fuel the most. The Hippoes continued to hover above while the Commanches waited for more fuel.

Shino was distressed by the news of her husbands homeland. What could she do though? The militia could maybe stand up to one force but not many.

During a rainy and thundery night the leaders discussed the possibility to deploy AHSCA militia men and women to Mokostana. "Let's take a vote." Marco said.

"Why do we need a vote?" Haruhi said. "This is our chance to prove AHSCA can be a strong nation."

"This is a democracy, or supposed to be." Aya argued back.

"I agree with Aya." Shala said.

"Let's vote." Ayla said simply.

"All those in favor?"

Everyone reluctantly agreed. Shino raced through the rain to tell her husband the news.

"George, it's time we step up. We'll save the homeland."

Mejico City


Lut. Perez had met up with the Rithian forces.

"Welcome to the battle, you guys look like you need some transportation."

He picked up his radio and called in transport trucks and some Ironheart APCs.

"How many men you got? I need to know how many to call in."



"We have around 296 men, but we already have two tanks, so i would say 267 requiring transport"

Sur Region

"You Got all the fuel you want. I'll call in some more fuel trucks because i don't think the base has enough to take care of everyone. Bogota has a few extra hangers available, and more fuel. Fuel up the Emties to enough to get to Bogota and they will be topped off their. Worse comes to work you will have to stop for fuel on the way out on Mokan Island."

Cancun City

The unloading was down with ease. Most rebel forces were preparing an attack on the airfields. They had assumed the Navy was staying neutral and not shipping Mokan troops in. They forgot other people had ships as well, a small, but fatal, mistake.


ASCHA

George had heard the news of the next civil war and knew he wasnt as sharp as he used to be in the old Jaguar days. So when his wife came to him with the vote to assist he was mixed with Joy and worry in one.

"Baby, I know our Militias are trained and effective with our Islands defense, but I don't know about sending them to fight in the civil war. Are they ready to fight this kind of war?"

Lut. Rivera had arrived in the middle of the Discussion, being a Jagaur Elite he had been training with the Militia and teaching them guerrilla-style fighting. He missed the home islands, he hadn't been home since he left to fight in Hexon. Over a year ago.

"Sir, the militias in my opinion are best suited for Guerilla fighting, while they can may do well head to head. I have my faith that Nicolas Villa has called in the help he needs. I will be more then happy to lead them Sir."

TO: Mokastana High Command
FROM: David Aposon, President of Uiri

Do you require any assistance? Uiri is ready to help Mokastana keep control of Mehico. We could even send navy to ship in Mokastanan troops.

"We have around 296 men, but we already have two tanks, so i would say 267 requiring transport"

"I need trasport for 300 men to the command center. Now!!!'

After 30 minutes the trucks had arrived and loaded them up and lead them to the "North wall"


"Ok let me give you a heads up on what is going on!"

Lut. Perez's voice was heard in all trucks thanks to the speaker system and wireless communication.

"The Confederates are cut off to the north, unfortunately, the amount of troops they have in the pocket is more then enough to cause trouble for the Revolution. They are putting all of their effort into capturing Mejico City. Because of this the Independent movement is doing their best to hold them off."

Atrillery rounds began to crash around the trucks. A few were hit and exploded in a ball of fire and flames.

"that is the enemy we are fighting. Those troops do not care what damage they do to our land. Only that they get it our land. LAND AND LIBERTY!!! That is our cause. Freedom is what you are fighting for."

Needless to say this speech was directed at both the Rithian and independent Troops moving in to hold the northern wall.

"Hold this wall today comrades, hold it tomorrow, Show the Confederates that we will not stand Defeat, we will never die. It is our turn for freedom, Go and save Mejico!!!"

The trucks made it to the wall, the troops were ordered off as quickly as they could, around them they could see bodies, fires, craters and trenches, this was the northern wall. AT artillery was buried half underground, waiting for Confederate troops to charge and try to take the lines again.

"I'm confident they can."

Over the next several days the militia was prepared, equipped and shipped off. Citizens of every island were sent out on the rough seas to Mokostana. Many of them had left their families at the call of their Duchess to take up arms and save what Shino considered her second home.

if you think that you can conquer my nation and install a white government in a hispanic nation that has had no government survive 3 years in over 50. Be my guest.OOC: Well, I can conquer your nation, but if I am to maintain control I will have to commit a large force of soldiers to prevent the populace from overthrowing the government that my forces created. Yet, it is possible to use force to keep the mob in line.;)

IC: Off the shores of Mokastana:

A large fleet of nine battleship, six heavy aircraft carriers, twenty six cruisers, forty two destroyers, sixty one frigates, and countless transport craft had assembled to begin the invasion of Mokastana and to ‘liberate’ its European populace from the oppression of the rift raft that existed all around and dominated the entirety of their nation. Yet, to do this many would have to die and a new government installed for the sole benefit of the European peoples of the country to prevent non-Europeans from regaining control of the country.

Before, this happened though they would have to secure a beachhead and to crush the various factions that existed throughout the country and prevent any singular group from gaining a distinctive in the war. Therefore, the Imperial military would have to act quickly enough to prevent factionalism from wearing down and any solid resistance from forming, which could result in the war dragging for a good deal more time then Imperial High Command wanted. As well, Command realized that the various groups in the country needed to be kept fighting each other during the Scandinvan invasion because if they stopped the amount of fighting persons that would be used to resist the invasion would increase by many fold.

For now though the invasion needed to begin and to do this Imperial soldiers would have to use Blitz tactics to establish a stronghold on the beach and from there enter a breakout in mere days and put out any resistance along the costal regions and begin the establishment of bases to facilitate the transport of war materials and troops from the Scandinvan homeland to the front lines. Furthermore, the first waves would have to be shock soldiers that would be able to stifle any resistance from the local forces efficiently and quickly.

Mokastana, Costa Rica Beach:

In the dawn of the morning twenty thousand Imperial marines begin their silent advance towards the beach, until they were about two miles when Scandinvan aircraft began roaring overhead and began to drop bombs up and down the forest to clear the jungles. But, they did not know what would happen once the bombs hi the ground and what could would happen once the ships carrying the marines were spotted or once they had gone unto the shore.

"Understood, we will keep our distance from your forces."

(OOC: Can you make a map of Mokastana, so I have some idea of where all the attacks and that are happening, with foreign troop positions so I know what and where to deploy.)

Sur Region

"You Got all the fuel you want. I'll call in some more fuel trucks because i don't think the base has enough to take care of everyone. Bogota has a few extra hangers available, and more fuel. Fuel up the Emties to enough to get to Bogota and they will be topped off their. Worse comes to work you will have to stop for fuel on the way out on Mokan Island."

Cancun City

The unloading was down with ease. Most rebel forces were preparing an attack on the airfields. They had assumed the Navy was staying neutral and not shipping Mokan troops in. They forgot other people had ships as well, a small, but fatal, mistake.


Sur Region

"Understood, we'll move the ones that didn't get filled over to Bogota. The Hippo-class helicopters are fine in terms of fuel. Also, we're planning on keeping the helicopters here for transport and whatnot. We've got some unassembled Hueys and Apaches in a few of the Hippoes for police duty."

Cancun City

The Marines quickly disembarked from the ships and set up a perimeter, and tanks began rolling off of various shipramps. As soon as a unit was completely unpacked, they began heading through the streets to the Mokastana Military Headquarters to recieve orders. When all of the forces and equipment were off, the ships exited the harbor so that they would save space, as well as be able to move quicker for artillery/air support/missile strikes.

Location: Desder Airbase, Silvan-Silvado.

7th Platoon of the 57th Airborne Division began preparing their gear. L-86s, 9mm Barettas, AT-4s, and M-24 SAWs in a hanger. Boxes of ammo and weapons were brought to a C-17. After the weapons were dealt with all 30 men began going over tactics.

"I need trasport for 300 men to the command center. Now!!!'

After 30 minutes the trucks had arrived and loaded them up and lead them to the "North wall"


"Ok let me give you a heads up on what is going on!"

Suddenly, the Ritharian troops begun shouting to each other in Rithian. They were bi-lingual as all children had to be able to speak 16 different languages before they could pass school. But now they were talking in their native language. As the troops moved into a position seeming awkward, the tanks showed that they weren't tanks, they were DBC vehicles. The DBC vehicles deployed suddenly and the Rithiarian troops held firm their positon, as they heard fire coming, they would suddenly part from where they could tell the shell was firing, they fired down at whoever they could make out were Confederates. Their military captain, Plario Santos, had begun to shout commands, now, it was just time for them to fire, and hold this position.

Official Declaration to All Parties

Should any military forces come within 75 kilometers of Juventud Island, they will be at risk of being fired upon. Should any party violate the Soviergn Lands of Kroando, or it's Colonial Possessions [Mokastanan Juventud], they shall face the full might of the Koalitionist Armed Forces. We are currently neutral in the conflict, a status which may change in the near future. Again, we order all parties to remain 75km's away from Juventud.

The fleet from The Scandinvans did not go unnoticed. After all the navy was paranoid about invasion, thats why they chose not to assist any faction in any civil war. So when an enemy fleet shows up and does not respond to hails from the Mokan fleet, it was assumed to be hostile. In charge of the Caribbean Fleet was Admiral Sean Kushkov. A son a Russian refugee that fled the wrath of Stalin for a tropical paradise. He contacted both the independents and the Confederates seeing who wanted The Scandinvans, to be in Mokastana, none said they did.

"Unidentified Scandinvan Fleet, what is purpose here?"

Numerous Mokan Wolf packs were put on high alert and monitored the fleet. The Zapatistas were preparing for war and the shore defenses were warned. Sea Wolf Class Attack Submarines and Typhoons Class Missile Submarines patrolled the waters around beaches and islands. Though they were under control of the armies, no one wanted to be invaded. and if there was one thing a Mokan hated more then fighting along side an enemy, it was rule by a Foreigner.

IC: The Scandinvan fleet Admiral quickly responded,” We are the bringers of light to your nation, our blades shine anew with the day’s dawn, and we come to make your nation submit to the proper ways of life line, be it peacefully or through other techniques.”

With that they ended their comm link and continued steaming towards the coast as a good speed and began to assemble their forces to enter battle, with destroyers on the exterior of the fleet to protect against air, small ship, or submersible attacks. As well, the marines already dispatched entered full speed and would hit shore in about fifteen minutes.

OOC: ok sounds good, what about EMPs?

IC:

” We are the bringers of light to your nation, our blades shine anew with the day’s dawn, and we come to make your nation submit to the proper ways of life line, be it peacefully or through other techniques.”

Admiral Kushkov was unsure as to what these fanatics were talking about, but he knew their intentions. Before he could respond the comm link blinked a cut signal. They are here for war

"Very well, I was afraid of this, Contact Admiral Franshaw, notify him that Mokastana is under invasion. Call Confederate High Command, and tell them that this fleet is hostile, prepare Home Island Defensive systems. Prepare the Su-33s for take off, if that fleet reaches a shore we have failed men. Send out a General order to engage The Scandinvan fleet. "


The wolfpacks began the hunt. They waited and hid on the ocean floor for the fleet to arrive and rose in the middle of the transports and support ships, others would attack from behind the enemy fleet. Harpoons and MK 48 torpedoes were launched into the enemy fleet. As the submarines began the attack the first Mokan Fleet was on route to engage the enemy...

40 Livertad Class Destroyers
20 Zapatisa Class Battle Ships
3 Nimitz-class Super Carriers
20 Sea Wolf Class Attack Submarines

Armaments:

Livertad class battle Destoyers
2 12 inch guns,

6 20 inch guns
4 Harpoon (4x) launchers
8 Tomahawk cruise missile launchers
4 SAM missile launchers
8 Phalanx defense system machine guns

OOC: What would be the delivery system? By the way I orginally forgot to add my fleet does have one dreadnaught.

IC: The Scandinvan fleet, not being foolish, sent a group of seven destroyers forward to scan the ocean's water for any sign of any form of defense put down by the locals to prevent the Scandinvan fleet from advanving, the sonar was a special type designed to pick up metallic substances with a specil frequency registered the density of objects. As well, a number of frigates were sent ahed on patrol to begin to scout the way ahead of the fleet. Furthermore, a wave of fighters and bombers was prepared for use if they did happen to encounter enemy resistance. (For this let us believe that this left a little while before the attack began if that is alright with you)

On the edges of the fleet the forces, except the ones which had been dispatched attempted to literally shoot the torpedos out of the water and they lanuched their own missiles to counter the oncomeing waves of enemy missiles. The light cruisers on the exterior, rough five of them, were sent onto the exterior of the fleet to begin the attack on the enemy submarines which had attacked the main Scandinvan fleet.

OOC: on the dreadnaught im going to have to say since it wasnt mentions you got to bring it in the old fashion way....

as for a good post I got to get a report done. so adios

OOC: on the dreadnaught im going to have to say since it wasnt mentions you got to bring it in the old fashion way....

as for a good post I got to get a report done. so adiosOOC: Alright, I will have to assemble it then, but thanks to you I know have a new plan of attack which is proably a little bit better, one that launches the attack on a bit large scale instead of in just one area.;)

Also, have fun with the report as I have to guess how fast I would fall down from a building in order to win a bet.:p

As the Mokan forces began firing on the invaders, the GWO Fleet, led by the Semi-Flagship Sword Of Mars (Semi-Flagship is just above Super Dreadnought, and right below Flagship) began supporting them. The combat fleet (Not counting auxillary or transport ships) consisted of:

1 Semi Flagship

Cacun

The army had pretty much established its forward command centre, the airforce using the airstrip nearby. Further inland, platoons from the third regiment of the mechanised infantry were slowly flushing the rebels out of the area.

The second batallion were all wearing gas masks, for the reason of thtactic they were using against hidden guerillas: using the wind to let clouds of blue cross gas (a mix of CR, CS and CN) waft across the enemy positions. Advancing under the cover of these clouds of smoke let loose from back-portable cylinders, the troops had a massive advantage in flushing out the enemy.

Back at the mech. infantry supply dump, it did not go unnoticed that 10
1-ton tanks with three red stripes were installed, with an armed guard around them. Three red-stripe gas was Agent I, a Rostichok agent that was harmless in its two seperate components, but when combined was a perfect chemical weapon, undetectable and able to perforate most protection carried by troops. And as it was a binary agent, it was not covered by the numerous chemical weapons treaties...

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

Out to sea, the frigates and patrol-boats were busy patrolling the area. They noticed unusual RADAR activity that was enough to warrant the bringing in of one of the trade-wind class patrol airships to have a look.

"Shit field marshall, we have a full friggin invasion force on our hands! What shall we do?"

"Don't let them get to the land. Use whatever you can to sink any transports."

The field marshall switched communication channels.

"This is your field marshall speaking. Get the tactical bomber squadron to scramble with the fighters: we have unwanted visitors."

"This is your field marshall speaking. I want all troops at high alert right now. Get a brigade sorted with two armour regiments and two mech. infantry regiments to get the enemy sorted if they land."

"This is your field marshall speaking. Bring all available artillery to bear at illuminated targets."

"This is the field marshall to navy: get your sorry behinds out there now!"

"This is the field marshall to all available airfleet elements: blast the enemy back to the stone-age!"

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

The AAS Comrade hit full thrust as it left the harbour over which it had been floated. It had onboard in its hold few specialised anti-shipping missiles, but did have a heck of a lot of conventional missiles that would do the trick.

It saw the marine landing craft moving towards the shore, and used the multiple designators to launch salvos of missiles at each craft, with each missile as soon as it had a rough bearing switching to an infared lock.

Behind it, the remainder of the airfleet slowly came about to launch fire on the enemy transports, while the navy swam underneath them towards the enemy, small black dots that were missiles and planes flying off towards the big naval battle about to unfurl.

Santa Villa

OCC: I would call godmode because you made it to the beach without me attacking, but instead I'm just going to roll with it...we'll see where it takes us.

IC:
The city was caught off guard, but some men rumored that the Captain in charge was a Independent supporter and thats why the 16 inch guns didn't start firing until the enemy was on the pier. Though to the north Harpoon systems were warned and fired 32 anti-shipping missiles into the enemy fleet, while the 16 ich guns fired their artillery rounds unto the troop transports. They were in Mokan soil, and now they were going to pay for every inch of it. The confederate troops managed to rally at the town square formed a push into enemy lines lead by AMJ3 Main Battle Tanks, who 150mm gun was a great way to welcome the enemy to their new land. The independent terrorist in the city decided to sit this one out and watch the battle take place. Popping out only to fire an RPG here or a grenade thier, however for real battle effectiveness, they did little but de-moralize the Confederate troops.
.

The Indonesians were pinned down on the shore. The medics were already helping the wounded on the pier. The houses were all broken down from the artillery, and blown-up cars were put on the road as a blockade. Intense fighting was everywhere, and the city smelled of death already. There was one question on everyone's mind though: Where are the Independants?

OOC: sry 4 the god-modding, i thought you already started the landing from the Mokas point-of-view.
and also, sry for the long wait. I dont live in US, i live in Dubai

IC:

The fighting in the street was turning to chaos. The lack of both confederate and independent forces meant that if they could make a strong enough push they could take the city. Overall only a Battalion was stationed here. The AMJ3s pushed towards the docks at full speed, their machine guns and Main guns cleared the way until a Independent rebel fired a RPG-29 from a rooftop, striking the lead tank and blocking the road to the docks, other missiles fired on, the attack had been halted. This was the main and only attack of the rebels, because every rebel in the city was there...

"Take care of these terrorist, We cant let them change the battle!"

OOC: What would be the delivery system? By the way I orginally forgot to add my fleet does have one dreadnaught.

The first Mokan fleet sent to engage the enemy was ready. They were in in range of the harpoons. Before they launched though MIG-29s were launched from Mokan Island to engage the enemy Bombers. Along with Su-33s armed with R-73 missiles. In total the Fleet launched 40 Su-33s and 60 MIG-29s joined up in the ranks. The Su-33s and MIGs all had one Kh-41"Moscit" Anti-shipping missile ready to tear apart the enemy fleet.

As for the submarines, The Sea Wolfs were waiting and slowly learning that they were detected. In doing so the first wolf pack decided to charge in into the fleet. The eight Submarines moved forward at half speed and stayed deep. Their goal was to get in the middle of the fleet....

Then 60 Harpoon missiles were launched from the Mokan fleet, the first major attack of the next war.

Cancun

In the Confederate Command Center in Cacnun it became apparent that the Alfegos troops were preparing Chemical weapons for the battles against the rebel and Independent factions. When Generalissimo Villa heard of this he immediately phoned Alfegos HQ:

"This is Generalissimo Villa, what are you planning to do with those chemical weapons, this is a guerrilla war. There are loyalist guerrillas as well as Independents. We have a large force and are going to make a push back. Hold on to the gas until we get further into Mejico."

There were now 6 more Divisions in Cancun. Total 12 Indendent divisions vs. now 14 Confederate Division + Alfegos troops and air cover. They were ready to take it back...

Caucun

"Don't worry, lethal agents will not be used yet... however, expect them to be used if we experience heavy casualties."

The troops continued battling, shots still whistling around interspersed with explosions as tanks and artilelry opened up.

As the Mokan forces began firing on the invaders, the GWO Fleet, led by the Semi-Flagship Sword Of Mars (Semi-Flagship is just above Super Dreadnought, and right below Flagship) began supporting them. The combat fleet (Not counting auxillary or transport ships) consisted of:

1 Semi Flagship
1 Super Dreadnought
1 Dreadnought
10 Battleships
15 Destroyers
5 Supercarriers
8 Anti-Ship Attack Submarines
4 Standard Missile Submarines
20 Frigates
60 Torpedo Boats/Minelayer boats (Little boats with 4 torpedoes and a sea mine on them)
8 Amphibious Assault ShipsOOC: Your nation cannot even afford half of those ships, with your GDP of around one trillion and your defense budget of a little over a hundred billion, you do not even posses the resources to construct ships due to their sheer expense in price, natural resources, faclities to construct them, and manpower needed to build them. As well, even if you save you cannot purchuase so many ships or ships of such size due to the fact that even if you saved for decades the main storefront, DMG Military Industries, price for all those goods would be in the trillions.

The first Mokan fleet sent to engage the enemy was ready. They were in in range of the harpoons. Before they launched though MIG-29s were launched from Mokan Island to engage the enemy Bombers. Along with Su-33s armed with R-73 missiles. In total the Fleet launched 40 Su-33s and 60 MIG-29s joined up in the ranks.

As for the submarines, The Sea Wolfs were waiting and slowly learning that they were detected. In doing so the first wolf pack decided to charge in into the fleet. The eight Submarines moved forward at half speed and stayed deep. Their goal was to get in the middle of the fleet....

Then 60 Harpoon missiles were launched from the Mokan fleet, the first major attack of the next war.The Scandinvan, being well prepared for battle, launched a volley of guided missiles at the exterior ships of Makon fleet and also the main guns of the battleships were being readied to be fired once the order came. Furthermore, one hundred F-18s were launched from the aircraft carriers to counter any apporoach of enemy air units that was bound to eventually show up. As well, a group of reconassince drones was launched to gain a perspective of the overall battle situation of the enemy fleet and weather or not a classic Scandinvan naval might be used to counter the Makon fleet.

When Scandinvan radar picked up the launching of missiles from the enemy fleet a barrage of missiles that were designed to specifically knock oncoming missiles by destroying an individual enemy missile by detonating the other missile, which would result in the Scandinvan missile being destroyed or disable in the process though.

The Scandinvan Marine force was now going headlong into the shore and could now see the shore, with Scandinvan aircraft now being order to patrol the air and seas surrounding the force in order to prevent any attack surprising the force. Yet, the initial bombing on land only cleared a couple of dozen of acres for the Imperial marines and the surrounding jungle could easily be full of enemy soldiers, which the marines were well aware of and knew that they would have to quickly establish a position if they wanted to make sure they would be able to fulfill their mission.

OOC: ok misunderstanding then, not godmode....

IC:

The fighting in the street was turning to chaos. The lack of both confederate and independent forces meant that if they could make a strong enough push they could take the city. Overall only a Battalion was stationed here. The AMJ3s pushed towards the docks at full speed, their machine guns and Main guns cleared the way until a Independent rebel fired a RPG-29 from a rooftop, striking the lead tank and blocking the road to the docks, other missiles fired on, the attack had been halted. This was the main and only attack of the rebels, because every rebel in the city was there...

"Take care of these terrorist, We cant let them change the battle!"

The Indonesians greatly outnumbered the Confederates, almost 3-1. A division of 15,000 were there, while there were only about 5,000 Mokas troops. The artillery was holding them back, and they had to do something about it. The ships off-shore now aimed most of their fire on the Artillery, destroying a few. The Indonesians then ran through the street to the next row of houses. The Mokas were ready this time, and the charge was destroyed. About 15 Indonesians died in that one attack. Most of the rest were wounded.

The Indonesians were here for one main reason: Gain support of the civilians.
So, all the civilians they find were sent to the pier, for protection. Those injured were treated by the Indonesian Medics. The Indonesians gave "propaganda" about the Mejican rebels. "The Mejicans value Democracy, unlike the Mokas Dictatorship. The Mejicans just wanted a little freedom, and what did Mokastana give them? War. Death. So, the Mejican Independants will now rise to freedom, with your help." Thus many civilians joined the Independants.

"ALL RIGHT WERE HERE MOVE MOVE MOVE!", runnning down the ramps and into the town, losing men to heavy fire and mines where they reported for duty

The Scandinvan, being well prepared for battle, launched a volley of guided missiles at the exterior ships of Makon fleet and also the main guns of the battleships were being readied to be fired once the order came. Furthermore, one hundred F-18s were launched from the aircraft carriers to counter any apporoach of enemy air units that was bound to eventually show up. As well, a group of reconassince drones was launched to gain a perspective of the overall battle situation of the enemy fleet and weather or not a classic Scandinvan naval might be used to counter the Makon fleet.

When Scandinvan radar picked up the launching of missiles from the enemy fleet a barrage of missiles that were designed to specifically knock oncoming missiles by destroying an individual enemy missile by detonating the other missile, which would result in the Scandinvan missile being destroyed or disable in the process though.

The Scandinvan Marine force was now going headlong into the shore and could now see the shore, with Scandinvan aircraft now being order to patrol the air and seas surrounding the force in order to prevent any attack surprising the force. Yet, the initial bombing on land only cleared a couple of dozen of acres for the Imperial marines and the surrounding jungle could easily be full of enemy soldiers, which the marines were well aware of and knew that they would have to quickly establish a position if they wanted to make sure they would be able to fulfill their mission.

OOC: about the EMP it would probably be a cruise missile or other MT delivery system, standard Non-nuclear device. Now how about a causality list.
and I assume you are attacking from the Alantic since you are here to "Liberate" the European decent right?

IC:

First Mokan Fleet

"We have incoming missiles Captain"

"How many and what type?"

"They look like MK.1 Generics, and they are still launching so we don't know."

"Notify everyone to activate their Phalanx guns asap. For now launch a second volley unto them, I want to see how well they stand up. As soon as they get in range of the land defenses give them hell."

On the Shore the Marine transports were targeted by the coastal 16 inch guns and they began pounding them to hell. For the ships still further out Harpoon launch stations were primed and launched. Overall 8 16-inch guns were firing and 16 Harpoons were launched in the first volley. Behind them was the patriot batteries thats radar and missiles were warning for any flight team to stay away, and if they didn't listen well...
they launched at the attacking fighters, as three Battalions prepared for the incoming assault, the rest of the Division was on route to the battle.

The Indonesians greatly outnumbered the Confederates, almost 3-1. A division of 15,000 were there, while there were only about 5,000 Mokas troops. The artillery was holding them back, and they had to do something about it. The ships off-shore now aimed most of their fire on the Artillery, destroying a few.

OOC:
actually in Mokan fighting force its
Division: 20,000
Regiment: 5,000
Battalion: 1,000
Company: 200
Squad/Platoon: 20
Fire team/Patrol: 5

so you are fighting 1,000 men

and technically i am suppose to decide the effects of your actions, like causalities or effectiveness of your propaganda. For example, the people of Santa Villa used to be ruled by a warload that abused them, the Mokan army brought an end to that but replaced it with a fascist rule. Then a coup in Mokastana lead to a confederate nation where they were part of Mejico. So all they really want is peace, therefore most will most likely flee the city to Panama or Costa Rica, though those areas are quickly becoming hot spots so expect a lot of refugees in the near future.

HINT:
Recruitment for troops from central America is difficult for both sides, though they will respond well to money, since many served under warlords and now would like to become mercs.

IC:

The enemy had a Division, but luckily it wasn't unloaded completely, it took hours to get that many men off a boat and battle ready. That by no means they had time on their side, the longer they fought the stronger the enemy became. Sure reinforcements were on the way, but it wouldn't be for another hour until the 2nd and 4th Battalions made it to the battle, then another hour for the rest of the regiment. The commander decided to play his ace in the hole.

"Command i need carpet bombing on the pier, if we can make it useless to them we can hold the city."

he waited, second after second for a response...

"this is command, the navy needs that pier, however since those bastards aren't helping us we wil get you a naplam strike on the docks"

20 minutes later a flight team of 6 Bears and 20 MIGs flew over the Docks,the Bears dropped Raw napalm onto the Docks, killing crew and soldier and refugee alike. While the MIGs fired Kh-41"Moscit"s into the sides of the ships that The Indonesian states were unloading from...

Caucun

"Don't worry, lethal agents will not be used yet... however, expect them to be used if we experience heavy casualties."

The troops continued battling, shots still whistling around interspersed with explosions as tanks and artilelry opened up.

On the theatre view one thing was certain, the Division of the Independents were retreating into Mejico. Fresh Divisions lead by Generalissimo Charles Villa was having an effect. With support from the Alfegos coming in and the recent stab into central America by everyone and their mother Indpendent command decided to try and deadly blow into the Confederates by circling the 20 Divisions fighting in south Mejico.

OOC: would post more but I need to get a loan finished

Nuevo Orleans, Capital of Tierra Nueva

Generalissimo Serrano finally had the network set up, President Jackson was a bastard and locked down the emergency network, but after a few days they got it opened and ready.

"Attention Men and women of the Tierra Nueva Armed forces, This is Generalissimo Serrano. I have assumed control of the standing government. We are now separating from the Nation of Mokastana. I require that all forces are to be on high alert. The forces of Lyras are in close vinicity of our Positions. Do not engage unless they Declare war on us. That is all for now."

Under the table they were just buying time to get the army in position to blitz behind Lyras and get Generalissimo Durkin on their side. Even now he was on a plane flying to Tierra Nueva to negotiate the terms of the occupied territories joining the war against Mokastana.

The separatist movement had begun.

"Verakin Nu Shatine Ka!" This cry was heard from Palio Santos as he shouted commands. Soon planes were around 20 miles away, dropping off the 16th Armen. The troops quickly turned on their BTS systems and found their way to where their brethren were.

OOC: Rithian fighting system works like this

Valco = 20,000 troops
Namina = 10,000 troops
Koreik = 7,000 troops
Noria = 5,000 troops
Nama = 1,000 troops
Shehen = 500 troops
Armen = 300 troops
Rankien = 100 troops
Lasha = 50 troops

OOC: Your nation cannot even afford half of those ships, with your GDP of around one trillion and your defense budget of a little over a hundred billion, you do not even posses the resources to construct ships due to their sheer expense in price, natural resources, faclities to construct them, and manpower needed to build them. As well, even if you save you cannot purchuase so many ships or ships of such size due to the fact that even if you saved for decades the main storefront, DMG Military Industries, price for all those goods would be in the trillions.

((OOC: Keep in mind that the police forces are actually military-owned, NS just doesn't allow department merging. Also, there is a program in which prisoners trade off jail time for labor, which is the reason why the military has decent equipment. But, to make you happy and prevent a flame war, I'll reduce the amount of ships. 5 Battleships. 10 Destroyers. 12 Frigates. 30 minelayers. 5 anti-ship subs. 3 supercarriers. 2 Missile subs.))

OOC: Sorry again, im sorta new to this...So I can control how many people I kill?( of course I wont be God-modding, having all your troops killed each time.) And I thought a Batallion has 5,000 troops?

IC:
The soldiers on the ships were awestruck by the evil the Mokas Army just did. There were their own people! With their new rage, the Indonesians did an all out charge, capturing back their old houses, clearing out the streets one by one, and showing no mercy for the Mokastana Army. All the Mokastana troops were shot, and those who surrendered were executed on the spot. The Indonesians usually would frown on this, but they were just too mad.

Back on the ship the Captain was thinking about his options.

"Sir, should we send in the planes from our carriers, or should we make a flanking position from the south?"
"Maybe we should try both, but flanking means less troops on the main area, and the Mokas could only over-run us..."
"They only have 1,000 troops, sir."
"With reinforcements on the way! I've an Idea. We could paratroop some soldiers from the carriers and bring them near the road. That way we can slow the Mokas reinforcements and take the city!"
"We bomb their airfield and base as well then?"
"Yes"
"So you think this will work?"
"Insha' Allah"

OOC: no you cannot decide the causalities you inflict, however in the event of a carpet bomb or something to that extent you can assume their will be causalities. however it is up to you to decide how many actually do die, When i attacked the port, naplamn WOULD kill those, and i assumed that some would die, but you could of had some hiding in a ship, or have the missile only do so much damage, but to say something like

HAHAH your bombs only killled one person and it was yours!!!

would be godmoding have you checked the stickies about war??? They offer a lot more help then i can....

also, that is a Mokan Battalion, others may be different...

IC:

The city was being overrun, the confedertate troops, seeing the bloodlust of the Indonesian took off running. With reinforcemnts on the way they moved to the hills outside the city. Inside the city a few civilians had taken pictures of the carnage...

soon the propaganda wars would flame...

"Attention Men and women of the Tierra Nueva Armed forces, This is Generalissimo Serrano. I have assumed control of the standing government. We are now separating from the Nation of Mokastana. I require that all forces are to be on high alert. The forces of Lyras are in close vinicity of our Positions. Do not engage unless they Declare war on us. That is all for now."

Field Marshal Ward recieved the information just as the first units of General Bathgate's Marine Assault divisions were hitting the Mokan coast. Normally a judicious user of profanity, Ward swore more in the ensuing five minutes than he had in the previous five years combined.

He turned towards his door and bellowed...

"Sig. I need a sig in here..."

The sound of running feet heralded the signaller's arrival, and Ward fired off a string of orders.

"Deploy second echelon. Have 122nd and 224th Armies proceed as planned. Get 186th Army onto land as soon as 224th has cleared the beach. Make sure 103rd and 198th Air Defence Divisions are set up as soon as is practical, to cover the LY300s of 424th and 514th Artillery divisions."

The Field Marshal paused,more for breath than to let his harried sig catch up.

"Pass my compliments to the Longsword battlegroup, and have them prepare to fire in defence of Mokan territorial waters. Falchion is still to target indepedent facilities."

Scratching pen noises stopped about 10 seconds later.

"And see if you can't get this Generalissimo Serrano on the comm system. He may not like the civilian administration, but we are not civilians..."

OOC: Sorry about the delay. More to follow ASAP.

Nuevo Orleans, Tierra Nueva

"Generalissimo Serrano, we have been ask to communicate with the Lyras Task force."

"what do they want? Some of our land? or to use our position to attack an ally? We dont need them, send a response to them that says unless they had a reason to bother us, we wont be bothered. I dont have time for chit-chat. How close is Generalissimo Durkin's plane?"

"Generalissimo Durkin has entered Tierra Nueva airspace as of 20 minutes ago, he is being escorted by 2 MIG-29 Fighters straight to the airport, perhaps we should meet him there Generalissimo."

"I decide what happens, not you aide, why dont you go pick him up for me and bring him back to the presidential palace, that way if the Lyras scum tries to kill Revolutionary leadership they get you instead of me."

"Si, Generalissimo, I will"

"Verakin Nu Shatine Ka!" This cry was heard from Palio Santos as he shouted commands. Soon planes were around 20 miles away, dropping off the 16th Armen. The troops quickly turned on their BTS systems and found their way to where their brethren were.

The battle of Mejico City was fierce, all around dead bodies of civilian, confederate and Independent alike were torn apart and left for dead. Screams could be heard over the distant machine fire and burning napalm. The roars of the fires were everywhere. Both sides had turned it into a gateway to hell. Few things dare to survive, and those that did lived only to kill for the obscure political reasons men fight for...

A few miles north of the North Wall a small village was housing refugees as well as a local Confederate command, it was this hill/village that the Rithians were asked to take...backing them was rebel Company of the 23th Ironheart Division, and backing them was 16 205mm Guns, on call for support in this area....

The same harried signaller ran back into Field Marshal Ward's quarters, just as the senior officer was slapping a magazine into his sidearm. The signaller's eyes zeroed in on the weapon as Ward racked the slide, chambering a round, then slid the safed weapon into its holster.

"Report."

"Generalissimo Serrano refuses to respond to our communications, sir. They claim they have better things to do, and that unless we have a reason to bother them, they won't be bothered."

Ward nodded, and headed for the door, out to the bridge of the Falchion.

"Field Marshal on the bridge."

Personnel not at their stations stood to attention, and Ward waved them back to their duties. Lyrans weren't big on ceremony, and Ward even less so than most. The ship's commander, Fleet Colonel Andrith appraoched him. Ward spoke first, holding out a transcript of the Tierra Nuevan seperatists' communications.

"What do you think of this, colonel?"

Andrith scanned over the short documents, and was finished within 10 seconds.

"Sounds like they're the enemy, sir."

The Field Marshal's head went up and down in agreement.

"Yes, colonel, certainly sounds like that, doesn't it."

Ward thought about it a few seconds longer.

"Colonel, I am declaring a no-fly zone over the entirety of northern Mokastana. Anything not squawking friendly, as of right now, I want smoked. Anything that moves, bring it down. I don't care if it's a hang glider. The whole bloody country, north and west of Matamoros. As of right now, Colonel."

Andrith grinned, and spoke to his bridge at large.

"Weps, Skyguard up, 4030s and 4031s online. Radar stations, get all arrays turning. Report any and all non-friendly contacts, and initiate required firing sequences. You have a green-light, folks, green-light for weapons free."

The screens lit up, providing data streams from the Falchion's three-stage air defence radar systems. Crewmen all over the bridge began the engagement sequence.

"Multiple Moat contacts, ranges and vectors uploading."

"Multiple Bastion contacts, ranges and vectors uploading."

"Multiple Keep contacts, ranges and vectors uploading."

Longsword-class vessels, such as the Falchion utilised the LY471 Skyguard as the basis of their air defence systems. Rated as strategic-level systems, Skyguard is fully capable of projecting an anti-air and anti-ballistic missile bubble out well beyond 1000km. Skyguard is a multi-system package that consists of, at the first stage, the AN/FPS-65 Moat early warning radar, with a range of 5200 km. Second-stage is the AN/FPS-66 Bastion VHF band intermediate-range radar, viable out to 3500km. The last is the AN/MPQ-71 Keep target tracking radar, range 1200km. Keep uses an X-band, range-gated, pulse-doppler system. The antennae use phase-frequency electronic scanning technology, forming sharp 3D pencil beams covering large surveillance and track volume. The radar automatically detects, tracks, classifies, identifies and reports targets, including cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. It uses a high scan rate (40 RPM), is frequency agile, and operates at a range of 1200 km. The radar is designed to incorporate extremely high resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM), partly by way of GaAs circuitry, and can perform target acquisition, confirmation, tracking and identification in the absence of the other layers of radar coverage, should circumstances require.

"Tracking and guidance online." A fleet sergeant reported. That meant that there was a positive lock from the targetting arrays.

"Coolant flows nominal". High-powered computers needed to be kept functioning, after all.

"Automatics engaged." Another put in.

"Cromwell firing sequence at standard" reported yet another.

"Ready to fire" the Senior Gunner reported, completing the recitation.

~~~~~~~~~

80 metres away, several hundred LY4030 extreme-range surface-to-air missiles were armed along the Falchion's starboard midship arrays. Nothing was visibile from the outside, but klaxons sounded, warning personnel to stand clear of the back-blast zones.

~~~~~~~~~

Within the warship's armoured heart, immensely powerful computers, slaved to the Cromwell II battlespace information management system assigned targets to the missiles in their tubes. Each would fire, then target its own individual hostile. Two were assigned to every aircraft in the air, and a second ripple of one per target was programmed to fire fifteen seconds after the first, to engage anything that survived the first salvo. Any missiles that found their targets destroyed before they arrived, from either ripple, would be automatically re-assigned to alternate targets by Cromwell.

A 20 second pause to determine success would follow, and if any targets remained in the air, Cromwell would order Falchion's missile to fire again, and again, until they brought the target down. The ship would not stop firing until either the sky was clear, or until its 5,120 LY4030 and 2,824 LY4031 missiles were expended.

Not that anyone aboard the Falchion knew it, but among the huge number of aircraft targetted across a vast swathe of northern Mokastana was that of Generalissimo Durkin and his two MiG-29 escorts, still 15 minutes out from their airport.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Fleet Colonel Andrith was proud of his men. Proud of his ship. Proud to serve the Protectorate of Lyras. Now, however, he was proud that his command would fire the first shots that the Longsword-class would release in anger.

Not that he knew it, but the Falchion's SAM arsenal was about to alter the course of the war in a very unexpected manner.

"Fire."

"Generallissimo Serrano!!! All aircraft over Tierra Nueva have been targeted by Lyras Missiles!!!"

"God damn, those Cavrons! (another 30 secounds of spanish swearing), can our patriot batteries do anything?"

"We will do our best, but as of now all aircraft have been ordered grounded or to prepare countermeasures."

"Our primary concern is getting Durkin here now, how far is he out?"

"10-15 Minutes"

"Get me to the airport now! Once he sees the death that Lyras brings to The revolution he will have no choice but to join. On the way hail Lyras and figure out what the hell is going on, we did not declare war!"

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

Near the coast lines numerous Patriot batteries were armed and ready. Soon the effects of Patriots vs. Lryas weapons would be tested...They waited till the enemy missiles were in range and then fired.


Flight 1554

Generalissimo Durkin was in his private plane oiling his personal .45 Pistol when he heard the alarms from the copit. He got up, recognizing those beeps and noises.

"what do we got?"

"Lyras fleet has fired AA missiles into Tierra Nueva, by the looks of it we think they are trying to sink the entire TN air force."

"have we been targeted?"

"Not directly just yet, however the radar over the nation is unbelievable."

"Shit, hail, the lyras fleet, i don't care how, I haven't served in 7 theatres and 15 years to become a black staid on a burning wreck. I dont care how, use TN networks if you have too"

"yes sir"

The battle of Mejico City was fierce, all around dead bodies of civilian, confederate and Independent alike were torn apart and left for dead.

The Rithians moved quickly out of sight, and sneaked around to the hill, They had no idea what they would meet, but they did know that they were leaving a place that would make Satan proud. As they were coming around the hills, the Confederates shot and killed 20 soldiers. This Rithian warband would have to survive, however, due to the Mokan support, the Rithians strode with confidence.

This Rithian warband would have to survive, however, due to the Mokan support, the Rithians strode with confidence.

A confederate patrol had spotted them and pelted them with IFV fire, until the Independents brought in their own IFV and killed the Confederate one. Soon though more confederates were coming, they saw the attack force coming at them and decided to charge it with what they had. 6 Ironheart APCs charged the Rithians and Independents, opening fire with Mortar support from some Ironhearts in the back. the APCs tried to pick safe(ish) locations to unload at but mostly they were left as sitting ducks as the infantry ran out, armed with AM-07s and RPG-29s. They began taking refuge in craters and behind "trees" (now sticks in the ground).

A firefight was ensuing

Cancun Penisula,

The independents had for the most part pulled out of Cancun, they wanted to keep the military equipment they had and at this rate they wouldnt have any Ironhearts for the dawn of their nation. Instead they began fighting by the guerrilla doctrine. The three Shock Divisions were reorganized for guerrilla combat and proceeded to arm the rebels and teach them ambush techniques, most Mokans were already aware of how to set up an ambush, but a little training never hurt. Specifically when the use of gas from Alfegos was showing to be more effective then Independent command said. As of now they could just clear a road with gas and follow that route and keep up with the retreating divisions. So they began to set up unmanned and less effective ambush sites.


Mejico City

"Commander Sanchez, the majority of Divisions are in position to engage south Mejico, once we surround them they should surrender in about one week. On the Cancun front the enemy airship fleet is going to engage the invaders."

"who are these invaders, and why do they want to conquest us?"

"After some research sir they appear to be fascist of some kind."

"call them nazis and spread the word throughout Mejico that they are invading us at our weakest hour, if anything that should spark up recruitment."


Sur Region

The commandos were in position, a small communications center was on top of the hill and broadcasting Generalissimos message about the Scandinavian invasion all over the Region. They stalked carefully, this was suppose to be quick and quiet. With minimal deaths, they hoped,

The Alfegosian troops continued to advance into the enemy pockets, any enemy resistance soon being destroyed. But with the constant threat of death from all sides, they soon were slowed. The tear gases, while they allowed any live enemy to stop fighting while they were blinding, were useless against the traps.

Soon, when the density of traps increased, they had to sty inside the IFVs, while the ECM aboard each tried to counter the electronic devices. However, against more crude ones, they just gave a warning or an explosion.

The casualties, while not high, were enough to consider Alfegos stopping their advance to allow them to consolidate their position.

Casualties;
- 6 IFVs
- 41 Men

Less than half a minute passed, with missiles in flight, before everything seemed to happen. Communications personnel began yelling out across the bridge, each vying for their commanders' attention, while radar operators and targetting crew called out their marks.

"Field Marshal, sir, Generallissimo Serrano is trying to get through."

"Sir, Generallissimo Durkin on the air-net."

"Sir, we have patriot radars painting our missiles."

"Patriots in the air."

"Hard lock on the patriot batteries. Hellions are hot."

Ward looked at Andrith, and the glance given was all that was needed. Ward headed over to the communications centre, while Andrith fought his ship.

~~~~~~~~~

The Field Marshal spoke to the air-net communications tech first.

"What's he saying?"

"Sir, he's asking that we abort the firing."

Well, well, thought Ward. Look at what we caught in our sights...

"Tell him that as it stands, he is flying into territory held by forces that have renounced their honour and rebelled against the Confederacy they swore to serve and protect. We can only assume that he is doing so to further damage the Confederacy, and as its allies we are honourbound to do what needs to be done in its defence."

He paused, then continued.

"But tell him that if he adjusts his flight path to land within Confederate controlled territory, then we can have a very productive conversation about how we can use his 40 divisions to assist in the restoration of order in Tierra Nueva."

Ward looked at the screen on the left, showing the LY4031 missiles' flight path.

"Tell him that, by our calculations, he has about 45 seconds to make his mind up."

Ward then turned to the second comms operator.

"Report."

"Sir, Generallissimo Serrano seeks confirmation on whether or not we are declaring war."

"Inform Generallissimo Serrano that we do not recognise his authority independent of the Confederacy that granted it. Given his statement of rebellion, and our resolution and moral obligation to defend the confederacy, he stands in conflict with us. He may not have declared war, but he did declare his seperation from Mokastana, and that is good enough for us."

The comms operator frantically began to transcribe the words, to ensure accuracy of transmission. Ward went on.

"Should it turn out that the Generallissimo was simply seeking to preserve Tierra Nueva from the bloodshed of civil war, and had every intention of rejoining the confederacy at the conclusion of hostilities, then that may be another matter. But I doubt this. Very much."

~~~~~~~~~~~


Andrith watched as the air warfare radars tracked the missiles in the air.

He grinned. Doctrine was spot on in anticipating how an enemy would react. Hostile air defence forces were going active, turning on their radars to get a firing solution on the Lyran missiles ravaging their air units.

In the process broadcasting their locations, ensuring that they could be targetted as well.

"Monitor patriot flights. Replace any missiles downed as they are hit, ripples of four. Hellions, you are cleared to launch, fire at will."

The Hellion operator grinned from ear to ear, as he jabbed the 'automatic-engagement' button on his console, transferring firing authority (until rescinded) to the Cromwell II.

~~~~~~~~~

Also amidships of the Falchion were over 11,000 LY589 "Hellion" advanced cruise missiles.

Hellion features arguably the most advanced artificial intelligence software package of any combat munition in existance. Utilising EMP-resistant GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) circuitry and an uplink to the Cromwell II battlespace information system, Hellion represents a significant step up in networked precision high-lethality firepower delivery.
The centrepiece of Hellion as a weapons system is its artifical intelligence, networking and sensory sophistication. Hellion features the most adaptive and responsive artifical intelligence system Lyran Arms has devised or encountered, and offers the firing entity many unique and versatile means of achieving target destruction, and a whole host of other combat effects.

The command-linked automatic inputs to Hellion's AI enable the missile itself to plan, recalculate, analyse, abort, re-target, evade and engage autonomously. Continual uplinks from the Cromwell II allow the on-board computer system to remain completely aware of the battlespace situation, including known and estimated enemy force concentrations or positions, anticipated rates of advance, combat air patrols, detection equipment and so forth. The missile then, while enroute, and cogniscent of entered rules of engagement and theatre target priorities, can adjust its course in-flight to avoid located enemy positions, respond to a more urgent or alternate target request, or, upon detection of a more crucial target, autonomously engage it.

Hellion's integral sensory suite enables the missile itself to perform IR, passive radar, EM, EW and thermal information reconnaissance itself, often precluding the use of further assets for co-ordination of ensuing strikes.

The system, at any point during its pre-flight or mid-flight engagement sequence, can be over-ruled, altered, aborted or otherwise directed by the firing vehicle, although such input is not required to maintain targetting feasibility.
The constant information stream and computational sophistication serves to maximise the Hellion's probability of successful engagement, and, together with a veritable host of direct sensory input on the missile itself, allows each individial Hellion to, in conjunction with its peers, determine how it may best serve the interests of its firer, by assessing the available range of targets, on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis.

In this instance, the Hellions were launched at the Patriots that had so obligingly illuminated themselves by turning on their high-powered air search and tracking radars.

The AI had plotted the location of the Patriots, marking them in relative and absolute terms, and initiated courses that would minimise the chance of successful intercept. They hugged first the ocean, then the ground, flying down valleys and through canyons, avoiding known and likely positions for observation points and built up areas, before beginning their attack sequences.

It was likely a very bad day to be a soldier in a patriot battery.

~~~~~~~

OOC: Please let me know what planes are in the air over the target area, so I can keep track of how much I've fired, how many planes you are likely to have lost, and how many patriot missiles you are likely to have chasing my missiles, etc... and, of course, how many patriots batteries have just painted themselves as targets...

Generalissimo Durkin stood behind his pilots when the message came in...

"45 seconds, that isn't enough time to explain shit. How close are we to Nuevo Orleans?"

"Sir, are you going to do--"

"Yes, are we close enough?"

"Let me call Serrano and tell him."

"no call Lyras and tell them that you agree to fly to Confedate area. Explain to them after that missile gone why i did this."

"Lyras Fleet, we agree, to your terms, changing course"

behind him he looked over his custom .45 pistol and after glancing at the fresh coat of oil he put on it. He Slid back the slide and loaded the chamber, then slid it into its holster. His two body guards were putting on parachutes and Durkin proceeded to do the same. They were going to jump for it and get picked up.


"Pilot, make sure Serrano personally gets me!"

and with that three opened the side hatch and took a dive to earth....


On the road to the airport...

"Those bastard Lyrans!! How dare they bring death to our lands, and to think we loved them for what they have done. I don't care what it takes sink that fleet."

"Sir, all aircraft were ordered to be grounded remember? Currently we still have 150 in the air, all military. This isnt going to look good. Enemy missile count was 2 to 1 aircraft up. Meaning that of the original 300 aircraft we had patrolling Tierra Nueva Sky, the remaining ones have 4 missiles a piece on them. Even so the patriots are doing their best, we have 20 batteries firing. (he failed to mention that 10 of the batteries had failed to fire, Not like Serrano would have known.) For their 600 missiles we have...(looking over the screen and looking grim) 100 patriots in the air."

On the beaches and hills the Harpoon launchers were activated. The idea was to wait till the AA had to reload then launch. Then 30 Harpoon Coastal launch systems were primed and launched. Each one launched 4 Missiles towards the Lyras fleet. total 120 were now flying in retaliation for the soon to be losses to the air force.

OOC:

20 patriot batteries are active...
150 aircraft, 150 that were up managed to get grounded and hide on runways as the local AF base AA systems took over.
casualties will be posted later, but will be severe...

The Alfegosian troops continued to advance into the enemy pockets, any enemy resistance soon being destroyed. But with the constant threat of death from all sides, they soon were slowed. The tear gases, while they allowed any live enemy to stop fighting while they were blinding, were useless against the traps.

Soon, when the density of traps increased, they had to sty inside the IFVs, while the ECM aboard each tried to counter the electronic devices. However, against more crude ones, they just gave a warning or an explosion.

The casualties, while not high, were enough to consider Alfegos stopping their advance to allow them to consolidate their position.

Casualties;
- 6 IFVs
- 41 Men

A small platoon size group of rebels wearing gas masked were trying to see what they had in front of them. It appeared that a group of Alfegos troops were trying to deal with a trap, one that was pretty much a LAW rocket attached to a trip wire. However in front of the LAW rocket was two more trip wires connected to two claymores. In case they either charged into the jungle to attack the attackers, or if they tried to disable the jimmy-rigged LAW. As the Alfegos troops decided what to do, one of the rebels aimed his bolt action rifle and fired at what appeared to be the senior officer.

Dear president of Mokastana

As Prime minister of the Protectorate of Lucus Maximus, it is in my power to aid you in your struggle against your foes. At this moment, I am sending my Lucus Maximus Marine Corps 7th Armoured Division and 2nd Infantry Brigade to your aid. I will also have 1 of my aircraft carriers, the LMS Goldenhawk, posted near your borders to provide air cover for my troops and your troops. Do not fear my friend, together and with the help of our allies, we shall vanquish this rebellion and keep peace in your country.

Sincerely yours
Prime minister Lucas Maximias

A confederate patrol had spotted them and pelted them with IFV fire, until the Independents brought in their own IFV and killed the Confederate one. Soon though more confederates were coming, they saw the attack force coming at them and decided to charge it with what they had. 6 Ironheart APCs charged the Rithians and Independents, opening fire with Mortar support from some Ironhearts in the back. the APCs tried to pick safe(ish) locations to unload at but mostly they were left as sitting ducks as the infantry ran out, armed with AM-07s and RPG-29s. They began taking refuge in craters and behind "trees" (now sticks in the ground).

A firefight was ensuing

Rithians, armed with their fancy Cataclyz-190 handguns, began firing blindly, while higher order Rithians with Caltic Pistol-009 models had quickly begun firing at the trees and other strategic spots. Soon, however the troops got a call from their Comm Tower saying to watch out for Rithian Eagle planes. However none on the battlefield knew it, this place would soon become a artwork of explosion, and blood.

((OOC: Pardon me if this post seems out of place according to the rest of the RP.))

Sur Region

The Federal Guard force landed at Bogota, as told, ready for more fuel and deployment into the city to fight off the Bolivians. RSAV Riot Vehicles rolled down the ramps of Hippo-class helicopters, and Federal Guardsmen were preparing for law enforcement, GWO/Combine-Style. Several engineers from other branches of the military began dragging out disassembled Apache helicopters owned by the Federal Guard. The GWO was probably one of the few countries who issued their police forces with full military equipment and acutally gave them permission to use it.


Cancun Peninsula ((Lol, Mokastana said penisula))

The GWO Marines, seemingly absent from past combat, were now fully, 100% ready for combat. They began setting up patrols through the city to rout out any leftover rebels.

"Hostiles, dead ahead! Keep the troops in cover, away from the road. Meanwhile, give them a bit of lead!"

The engineers fellback as the 3 IFVs in the road opened up, firing off their 7.62mm machinegunes and their smoothbore cannons at the enemy. Soon, they were ready to advance.

One of the combat engineers slowly moved down the side of the road, now having disarmed the LAW by simply removing the missile. Now, he could see just hanging across his path two strings. What would they lead to?

He contented himself by throwing a grenade at the enemy he could see, while the men beihd him let off deafening volleys of fire.

OOC: Absolute max range of a Harpoon missile is 315km. LY4031 fire out approximately 1000, and LY589's are fractionally more than a BGM-109 tomahawk at 2,800km. Your harpoons will fall into the sea.

That's also assuming that your weapons are targetted at the Falchion. You haven't actually specified any way of detecting any other fleet elements, thus, IC-ly, you don't know that they are there...

The Falchion you'd be aware of, however, the whopping huge great radar thing spewing out phenomenal amounts of electromagnetic radiation. Worth also mentioning that Harpoons (all marks, A, R and UGM-84) are radar guided, not radar-seeking like an AGM-88 HARM or alternate anti-radiation missile. So while your firers would know of the Falchion's location, more or less, the Harpoons themselves would have no way of doing so, given that the ship is considerably out of radar range for the Harpoons, and even further out of engagement range.

Sorry if that came across as smarmy *wince*.

IC:

Aboard the LNS Falchion

"Colonel, we have hostile missile launch from camouflaged shore batteries."

"Targetting?"

"Initial missile trajectories are straight for us, sir."

"Weps, prep the 4031s for missile intercept. Watch for further telemetry."

Minutes passed before the radar operators reported back.

"Multiple splash-downs, sir. Looks like their birds didn't make it."

Fleet Colonel Andrith smiled as he heard that. It was the sort of information that added to a fleet officer's sense of superiority.

"Do we have the locations on the firing platforms?"

The weapons and radar operators looked at the ship commander quizzically.

"Of course, sir. Radar picked up the launches almost as soon as they cleared ground effect. We have the firing platforms to within 10 metres. All coastal, no deviation in ripple pattern."

"Stationary coastal defences, then. Very well. Assign them to the Hellions, and fire at will."

Another ripple of missiles left the tubes, 65 LY589s skimmed scant metres over the waves, towards their missile-launching targets on the coast.

~~~~~~~~~

370km away, the first elements of the 14th Marine Assault Corps hit the beaches, under the watchful guns of the Port Finch. Ironheart IFVs fanned out over the countryside, and LY220s pushed their passive systems to full, straining for any aircraft that may have slipped through the Falchion's radar net.

LSTs and LCHs slid back into the water, returning to the fleet to pick up the first elements of 122nd Army. On their way out they passed countless other ships, as more and more landing craft came to nudge the shore.

The Lyrans had landed.

IC:
The city was being overrun, the confedertate troops, seeing the bloodlust of the Indonesian took off running. With reinforcemnts on the way they moved to the hills outside the city. Inside the city a few civilians had taken pictures of the carnage...

soon the propaganda wars would flame...

The Indonesians have paratrooped in an area south of Santa Villa and set a secure position. Some planes were shot down. Hiding behind the trees by the road, they were waiting for the supplies and Mokastana troops to go up the jungle dirt road. Suddenly, the cars came up the street. Holding their old LAW's, they readied themselves. Then, they fired.

Rithians, armed with their fancy Cataclyz-190 handguns, began firing blindly, while higher order Rithians with Caltic Pistol-009 models had quickly begun firing at the trees and other strategic spots. Soon, however the troops got a call from their Comm Tower saying to watch out for Rithian Eagle planes. However none on the battlefield knew it, this place would soon become a artwork of explosion, and blood.

The independent Officers ordered the Ritharians to lead the charge, behind them IFVs fired their massive guns into enemy infantry positions, RPG rockets that were launched at them were shot down by WATCHKEEPERS on both sides. In effect, AT rockets were useless in this battle. While infantry on both sides were taking major losses. The Cofederate command post was barricaded by Confederate troops who planned on holding it to the death. Inside the circle defending it was one Patriot battery that detected the incoming fighters and launched AA missiles in their direction.

The Independents prepared their artillery guns to bomb the hill to hell.

"Hostiles, dead ahead! Keep the troops in cover, away from the road. Meanwhile, give them a bit of lead!"

The engineers fellback as the 3 IFVs in the road opened up, firing off their 7.62mm machinegunes and their smoothbore cannons at the enemy. Soon, they were ready to advance.

He contented himself by throwing a grenade at the enemy he could see, while the men beihd him let off deafening volleys of fire.

The Rebels, having caused enough trouble fell back into the thickness of the jungle as a mortar team behind the next hill fired to cover their tracks...on top the hill was two men with AKMs in case anyone came after the mortar, they were covered in mudd and hard to see...

Overall two rebels were killed in the attack, both by IFV fire...

(it was about 6 attacking)

Road leading to out of town, Nuevo Orleans

"You said that Generalissimo Durkin had paradropped somewhere out here, right."

"Yes sir, by the way sir, the Lyras forces have launched a amphibious assault against the beaches. A lot of officers about fighting Lyras troops, after all, half of our equipment is derived from them."

"I don't care if they designed the Ironheart. We will defeat them, just like all enemies of freedom. Have the 16 inch guns started bombarding the attackers?"

"yes sir, Harpoons have been launched against the troop trasports, sadly our skies are clear, the only plane in the air is Durkins, supposibly on the way to a Confederate AF base. In total we lost an assortment of 64 planes to the enemy air attacks. Mostly Bears and large aircraft but a few MIGs as well. However that means that our skies are clear. The Lyras are firing cruise missiles at our ground positions and many of the patriot batteries and harpoon launchers are being targeted. Local AA is being prepped to try and shoot them down. Some are even using that Microwave based thingy...vigilant eagle or whatever, we hope it can protect some of the stations, other then that patriots are locking onto the incoming cruisers"

On the beaches troops had prepared for the invasion. They didnt like the idea of this fight, as some felt it was the wrong fight. Others even thought that Serrano was a madman and was now bring the war here. It didnt matter as the missiles flew over head to the troop transports and the 16 inch guns began firing into the sea at the oncoming assault craft. When the first IFVs hit the ground they were greeted with silence, so they were allowed to pan out and explore. while units from the 12th battle Division were scouting in AMJ3 tanks and IFVs for the marines. Deeper inland the 205mm guns began to fire onto the beaches that the lyras troops had decided to land on. This war was going to be interesting...

Generalissimo Durkin wasn't happy, his uniform was now covered in mud and other slimey things...there was no way to get these stains out. While a Generalissimos uniform wasn't as fancy as most armies. They still had made a habit of making the denim Pants and Cotton Jacket look exceptional. Even his two body guards who had landed near him no longer looked as nice as they did on the plane. Either way, they crawled out of the LZ and began walking to the road they intentionally landed near.

"God damn it, my pistol got mud on it. After a fresh oiling too..."

he pulled out a flask of tequila and took a sip. This was not what he had in mind. Convered in mud and grass, they walked though the humid night looking to find Generalissimo Serrano. While Durkin used his last clean rag to try and clean off his pistol.

The Indonesians have paratrooped in an area south of Santa Villa and set a secure position. Some planes were shot down. Hiding behind the trees by the road, they were waiting for the supplies and Mokastana troops to go up the jungle dirt road. Suddenly, the cars came up the street.

IC:

Patriot batteries opened fire unto the enemy aircraft as the began dropping paratroopers unto the field, mere miles from where the confederates were rallying outside the city. Artillery was close to useless because the enemy was scattered. So instead IFVs and APCs were sent into the area to try and mop them up before they could organize into a threat.

To the north the 73th Ironheart Division was rolling in to help defend the area against further invasion. Many troops hated the navy and the coastal guards for failing as such, but now there man concern was killing these Indonesians.

----------

three battle trasport trucks loaded with supplies were traveling down the road lead by two APCs and an IFV, when the laws flew out of the jungle thicket the WATCHKEEPER system rang off the hook and fired its shotgun-estque rounds towards the old laws and hit most of the rockets, one hit an APC and disabled its tread, this normally wouldn't be a problem except that the road was thin, and the trucks couldnt get around it. 7.62mm rounds from the APCs began tearing the jungle apart. while the IFVs smooth bore cannon unleashed a barrage of explosive rounds into the jungle...the idea was similar too carpet bombing....

The IFVs regrouped, before fortifying for the night. Ready for any ambushes.

The IFVs regrouped, before fortifying for the night. Ready for any ambushes.

Rebel forces scouted, getting enemy positions and numbers, the information was soon wired back to Mejico City. Where the bloodiest battles were going on...

The Eagles soon turned around and shot at a 180 degree angle, they were zipping across the sky, so they couldn't tell if the missiles were homing in on them, or not. All pilots of Rithian are taught major survival techniques before they are sent out, but, out of all things, they did not learn how to avoid a AA Battery protected inside a building, so they thought to themselves "Hey, what the heck, let's try!" at that point, they zipped to their brethren.

The Indonesians in the forest were now retreating. Having their job done, the Indonesians were satisfied with holding up the Mokas reinforcements. They arrived with the rest of the main Indonesian force holding back the 73rd Ironheart Division. Some other soldiers were destroying the remaining areas in the south. "Viva Mokastana!!!", were the cries heard from the north. Soldiers and tanks were charging from the forest, and the Indonesian machine-guns started firing.

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


At the Indonesian Base the new Mejican troops were ready for battle. With their nice, new, shiny M4 Carbines and their clean, camo uniforms, they looked like a real army. Training was harsh, but it was all worth it. These men have been trained for all terrain: Rainforest, Desert, Cities and more. They were trained even in gureilla fighting, though the Mejican trainers did that part. The Mejican division is 15,000 men strong, and they're now going to be put to the test. Mejico City is waiting to be regained, and the Mejicans are going to do just that.

OOC: you can take the Mejican rebels from there, Mokastana.

three missiles were chasing the eagles but not it would matter if they hit or not, the air strike was averted....however the artillery strike couldnt be that easily avoided. 205mm rounds rained down unto the enemy HQ. While the higher ranking officers were in the basement it provided minimal cover against these large rounds. What they didn't know was that refugees were now being hit by the anti-infantry rounds raining death upon the command center and surrounding area.

Many began running but the high pressure explosions from the rounds quickly flattened everything...The HQ had simply ceased to exist...and the hill would be easy to take...

The surrounding areas still crawed with IFVs and APCs fighting it out, a Column of AMJ3 tanks joined the battle hoping to push the Independents back and keep the hill from falling into enemy hands. while it was no longer good to the Confederates, it did give a good vantage point to call in artillery with...

what did survive the artillery barrage was then being rescued by a few Ambulence Ironhearts and loaded on APCs...

The Indonesians in the forest were now retreating. Having their job done, the Indonesians were satisfied with holding up the Mokas reinforcements. They arrived with the rest of the main Indonesian force holding back the 73rd Ironheart Division. Some other soldiers were destroying the remaining areas in the south. "Viva Mokastana!!!", were the cries heard from the north. Soldiers and tanks were charging from the forest, and the Indonesian machine-guns started firing.

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


At the Indonesian Base the new Mejican troops were ready for battle. With their nice, new, shiny M4 Carbines and their clean, camo uniforms, they looked like a real army. Training was harsh, but it was all worth it. These men have been trained for all terrain: Rainforest, Desert, Cities and more. They were trained even in gureilla fighting, though the Mejican trainers did that part. The Mejican division is 15,000 men strong, and they're now going to be put to the test. Mejico City is waiting to be regained, and the Mejicans are going to do just that.

OOC: you can take the Mejican rebels from there, Mokastana.

OOC: the mejicans do have a real army, part of the Confederate army joined the revolution, but now that we have a base to turn rebels into soldiers this could get interesting....

"sir they are using guerrilla tactics in slowing us down to reinforce Santa Villa"

"Shit, ok then, i want the main highway to Santa Villa protected at all cost, I mean helicopters, APCs and everything, make it look like we are making it our main supply line. and defend it to the death. I will contact the air force so that all a major attacks on it can be bombed to the stone age... As for the current situation is there any chance of recaputering those docks..."

"Not till we get all elements of the 73rd into the theatre, then with cruise missile support we should be able to get there with realitive ease."

"Very well then, lets take back Santa Villa"

In the jungles The Ironhearts raced froward as the lines of Tanks and soldiers raced at them, APCs fired thier 7.62mm and IFVs fired both AT rounds and Anit-Infantry rounds, The real ATMG systems rode in behind the lines of APCs launching rockets at the enemy tanks....they pushed harder into the enemy lines...

Time for the major offensive: to push inland with all the forces available, and to clear out the enemy.

The mixed with the mech. infantry roared into life, the jungles once again feeling the roars as missile detonated in them.

With a few batallions being left behind at Cacun city, the troops began to move inland like a bulldozer, the tens of thousands of men burning and destroying eveything along the massive front, with the logistics lorries scuttling to-and-fro with supplies, along with the artillery.

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

The airforce squadron assigned to the region took off, and prepared for the clearance of the guerillas. The tanks they carried onboard would help the advaning troops significatnly.

As they came over the enemy position, the ground-attack bombers let loose from their payload clouds of mist as they came in low over the enemy, leaving massive patches visable even on satellite: these were clouds of Yellow-stripe CS/CR/CN gas, with a bit of BZ mixed in for good measure. Below, if the guerillas hadn't put on their gas masks, would be rolling about in pain as their tear ducs went into overdrive, and their nerves on their faces became hypersensitive. If that didn't work, then the BZ would make sure that the targets were incapacitated for days with hallucinations, irregular sweating and loss of co-ordination.

With the cloud laid, 5 distinctive groups, each made up of an armour and mech. infantry regiment, moved forward, the crew protected by biochem warfare suits and the CBR warfare systems aboard their vehicles.

The airships did not join in, otherwise pre-occupied in attacking the Scandinavian fleet.

Now the last of the Indonesian Soldiers, tanks, APC's, and everything else were on the battlefield. Most of those troops were sent to the north to defend the Mokas counter-attack. The rest of the Civilians filled sandbags and the Mokas POW's were questioned. Surviving AA's were used to shoot down any Mokas planes that would try to bomb the city. Meanwhile, Indonesian planes were taking off.

"Mokas counter-attack sighted."

At the beachhead, northeast of Corpus Christi

The first of the Mokan shore defences' sixteen inch shells registered on the Port Finch's AN/SPQ-55 firefinder radar scant seconds before their impact on the beaches over which the 14th Marine Assault Corps was advancing. The warship's radar computers verified the contact, and tracked the incoming projectile during its initial upward/launch trajectory prior to reaching apogee. The system analyzed the track data and then extrapolated the round’s point of origin.

On the bridge, the main radar display lit up the shore defences' calculated positions, highlighting every gun that fired, and cross-feeding its position to the cruiser's as 8-figure target coordinates.

The entire process was over by the time the shells hit the beach. Hit they did, however, and the chaos their impacts caused was sudden and significant. The first shell landed within ten metres of an unloading LCH, and the concussive force shattered the ship's bow-ramp and caused heavy casualties on the 2 companies that were disembarking from it, losing four Ironheart IFVs and half their crew wounded or killed. The wounded ship radio began squawking to the Port Finch for urgent assistance to get them underway again and back to the fleet.

More shells were falling, but, as with the case in any bombardment, 80% of casualties occur in the first 15 seconds.

The B Company, 9642nd Battalion, 76th Marine Mechanised Division had taken 24 casualties, and lost four IFVs. C company a further IFV, and 3 of its 9 man crew.

Before the first shells hit, however, the Port Finch replied. It's nine 8-inch rapid-firing guns, mounted in three triple-turrets each fired at 10 rounds per minute, giving the cruiser a frightening 90 rounds per minute of 203mm radar-aimed high explosive goodness. The cruiser began to fire at each defensive site that had fired upon the landing zone, a full 30 seconds at each target, before moving to engage the next.

The era of the gun warship as a major surface combatant may have been long past, but few systems matched the rapid firing gun for delivery of accurate and sustained medium-range defence supression.

The Port Finch's wards had been hit. The people it was tasked to protect with its guns had been struck, and the warship was venting its anger at their tormentors in ragged blasts of explosive flame.

LNS Falchion

"Missiles in the air again, sir. Targetting the landing fleet this time."

"Acknowledged. Weapons free on the 4031s. Three to each incoming."

It was overkill on defence, and Andrith knew it even as he gave the order. The LY4031 missile is a medium range, high-acceleration, endoatmospheric interceptor missile, capable against a wide range of targets. The LY4031 is more than able to engage aircraft and air-launched weapons at ranges in excess of 210 km. The missile is small - similar in size to the 9M96M missile of the S-400, on which the LY4031 is based, and uses a hit-to-kill attack profile. The missile is equipped with an active homing head and has an estimated single shot kill probability of 0.98 for manned aircraft and 0.92 for unmanned maneuvering aircraft. A gas-dynamic control system enables the LY4031 missile to maneuver at altitudes of up to 65 km at positive g forces over 30, which permits engagment of non-strategic ballistic missiles. Two missiles would be all but guaranteed to kill most things that flew, but Andrith wouldn't take any chances. Better wasting an additional missile than allowing a landing craft to get hit, and thus losing 20 people and 400 years of training time.


Longsword battle group
Several hundred kilometers to the south, the Longsword and its sister ships Undaunted, Insuppressable and Dreadful Bride, were in position at engagement area "charlie". Upon receipt of a pre-arranged signal, the Dreadful Bride activated her three air-search radars, and directed them over the independent held territories to the west of the Caribbean, while the three other superheavies linked their targetting systems to the Dreadful Bride's main computer.

The air-exclusion zone, enforced by the Falchion, had worked spectacularly in Tierra Nueva. Now, four ships of the same class intended to ground the independent and pro-independent aviation assets throughout Mejico.

First to be located were several flights of aircraft taking off on an approach path towards Santa Villa. The Insuppressable had the best firing solution, and launched two hundred LY4030 extreme-range air-to-air missiles. Their successful intercept would send a strong message about the viability of pro-independent aerial units in the presence of Lyran anti-air.

(OOC: The Indonesian states, that was at you, in case you missed it...)

Several minutes later, at a second pre-arranged signal, all four ships fired a salvo of several hundred LY589 Hellions each.

The missiles cleared their tubes, then angled back down, skimming the wavetops enroute to the independent-held territories.

Their targetting had been provided by satellite telemetry, marking each and every airfield, oil refinery, powerplant, stationary SAM site or radar station, important rail junction, TV broadcasting station, police station, air traffic control tower and major bridge. Each of the above mentioned facilities was simultaneously targetted by at least 3, sometimes as many as 12 Hellions, in an attempt to come as close as statistically possible to completely assured destruction.

The hammer was falling.

Mokastana Military Command, Mokastana City

"Generalissimo Villa, We have enacted the Kings Laws, just like with every other government change. However the allies are systematically doing ever kill, ALfegos gas is hitting civilians, and the Lyras fleet is pounding Central America into the stone age. We need to do something about this before they recruit significant numbers against us."

"Very well, Call both and tell them that we need civilian targets undamaged. Recapturing land is useless if we cant use it. Based on the damage everyone has done so far it will take us years to recover from this mess. Luckily the majority of the oil fields and refineries are in Sur. So what are they hitting?"

"every airfield, oil refinery, powerplant, stationary SAM site or radar station, important rail junction, TV broadcasting station, police station, air traffic control tower and major bridge. Unquote Generalissimo."

"Airfields, we need those, the Independent AF is maybe 100 planes. Power plants are mostly nuclear, which could be very bad....rail junctions can be fixed. TV stations while bad later may help in stopping spread propaganda against us. Police stations i dont know why.....I could understand these targets if it was an invasion, but this is a civil war, I don't want to have to pay for all of this. the last thing we need is more rebels rising just to fight Lryas or Alfegos."

"Lets pray this doesnt get any worse..."

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

Alfegos/Confederate advance

The major counter attack by Alfegos/Confederate forces pushed deep inland. The methods the Alfegos troops used were very effective at clearing out guerrillas, however many towns and villages were hit as well. Civilians were rescued by guerrillas as they fled with the Shock Division deeper into Mejico.

Videos were recorded of families rolling in pain from the gas attacks and those were finding their ways into hands that they shouldn't be getting into...

Meanwhile three Battle Divisions were preparing with recently received chem suits to fight the advancing lines. They marched into the Peninsula and recovered civilians, guerrillas and other peoples left in the wake of gas...

Now the last of the Indonesian Soldiers, tanks, APC's, and everything else were on the battlefield. Most of those troops were sent to the north to defend the Mokas counter-attack. The rest of the Civilians filled sandbags and the Mokas POW's were questioned. Surviving AA's were used to shoot down any Mokas planes that would try to bomb the city. Meanwhile, Indonesian planes were taking off.

"Mokas counter-attack sighted."

OOC: didnt your guys kill all my troops...bloodlust?

IC:

Above the advancing Ironheart Divisions a flight team of MIG-29s (30) and Bear Bombers (10) flew overhead...

They were armed with more napalm, while the MIGs had anti-tank rockets to take out any vehicles that showed up during the fire bombing...

More would of been sent but with the massive missile attack from the Lyras fleet more AA would not be needed...

The men continued to advance ceaselessly. Now, though trying not to destroy everything in their way, had left large villages uninhabited in the wake of the non-lethal gases. However, now they had to contend with trying not to hit civilians. Impossible for this form of advance.

The casualties, while few, had caused the bloodlust to come in a few of the advancing troops, them having to be restrained before they killed those who weren't Fegosian. Hopefully, they wouldn't have to contend with another outbreak of the red rage if the rebels counterattacked.

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

Meanwhile, the observation satellites had taken a good observation in their area, the geostationary ones even providing limited live feed.

They could see the clouds of gas and the activity moving away from them, inland. The co-ordinates were given to ground attack bombers, which now equipped with "Screaming Oblivion" ASMs, flew in to attack anything that moved. Civilians were not to be targeted, yet one couldn't helpm trigger happy pilots, taking out any vehicle moving away or towards the cloud on the horizon marking the Alfegos advance.

Bombs fell. Missiles wailed. Cannons chattered. The death toll mounted.

The hammer was falling.

In short the first few 16 inch guns didn't survive....3 were completely destroyed when the guns turned toward the ship where the shells were coming from. Deeper inland the 205mm Guns from the 12th Battle Division joined in on the enemy naval targets. Satellites sent to the artillery teams the enemy targets and locations. From there it was simply choosing the right shell that could penetrate the ships hull and fire. Over 50 205mm guns fired their AP rounds in the direction of the enemy surface ship that dared the take out the coastal 16 inch guns.

On the ground 3 Battalions,(3,000 men Mokan Wise) charged towards the beach, leading them were T-90s and AMJ3s 50 a piece, behind them the IronHeart APCs and IFVs were carrying troops to recapture the beaches and maybe storm the enemy ships, if not highly unlikely. They stayed off the main roads but with 50 205mm guns that could be called to help on a moments notice. They felt proud and hopeful in pushing the enemy forces off their beach...

Back road north of Nuevo Orleans

Generalissimo Serrano's Car continued up the road where Durkin was believed to have landed. The headlights looked deeper into the swamps of north Mokastana and kept hunting.

"Generalissimo, We are beginning a counter attack on the Lryas fleet. So far we have lost much of our defensive systems but with luck the 12th battle division can cause enough problems that we can hold them off until reinforcements arrive, The 16th and 54th are on the way to assist. 5 More Divisions are being prepared to go out and attack any other beaches they land on. sadly Most are leaving their helicopters at home base due to the site of the enemy AA missiles."

Generalissimo Durkin saw the car coming up the road. He was cold and pissed. He really didnt want to mess with Serrano right now. What mostly pissed him off was the way he handled the Lyras fleet. which was now clearing skies and landing. Did it not occur to him that the same people who SOLD us the backbone of our army would not have better things kept for thier own use. Durkin shivered at the thought of being the first target of some Lyrian toy introduced here. The car pulled up to the side of the road and saw Durkin and his two mud covered guards. The red star on the side of the limo showed that it had to be the generalissimo's private ride. Typical, he leaves the command center in a car showing off who he is. Apparently he never worried about assassination.

"Generalissimo Durkin, nice to see you. You look like hell, care to get in."

Durkin tried for the door, it was locked. Looking in he saw the aide laying blankets on the leather interior. God damn aristocrate. Eventually Durkin and his guards were let in, and that is when the greatest power switch in Mokan history Occured.

One body gaurld still outside shot out the passengers window and told the driver not to move. Behind the driver his other guard got Serrano's aide in a head lock and put a pistol down his throat. Serrano seeing this tried to pull out his pistol but ended up getting shot in the arm by Durkin.

"Driver, if you hit the gas Serrano Dies then i will turn around and kill you. Now let my man in the passengers side. Then get us back to Command."

then back to Serrano...

"We have a lot to talk about amigo."

The polished and muddy .45 shined in the Limo, the smoking barrel was not aimed at Serrano's head, but something else most men would rather die then let get shot.

"now someone connect me to the Lyras fleet."

Sur Region

"We need partols thoughout the jungle, i want to make sure that if the Bolivians make a move we are there to shut them down. Last time they were sloppy, this time they are going to take time...if you see anything get there fast and kill anything that threatens you"

"Sir incoming report, a communitcations center is under attack...the nearest units a few GWO soldiers"

"tell them to get thier now then!"


Cancun Peninsula

The city of cancun was for the most part still intact. The large military presence told any potential rebels that this was not the time...

Sur Region

A force of Federal Guardsmen, mainly armed with FSARS shotguns for jungle combat, began heading out into the nieghboring forest.

"Communications center under attack!" was broadcast into the Guardsmen's gas masks, and several nearby FG Patrol cars (Which are lightly armored for better combat against assault rifles, as are all patrol (Non pursuit) vehicles) began going Code Three (Sirens and lights) to the Comms Center. The FG established a perimeter around the blocks in the area, reinforced with RSAV riot tanks, and three armored vans of S.T.F. Agents began deploying from the temporary HQ. Several teams of Guardsmen went in with MP7 submachine guns, MI-P57 pistols, FSARS shotguns, and a small amount of MI-8 Carbines. The S.T.F. Agents were armed with MI-8s, one GI-MG33 Medium SAW, one FHASAW Heavy SAW, and several men took up positions with EASR sniper rifles.

The men continued to advance ceaselessly. Now, though trying not to destroy everything in their way, had left large villages uninhabited in the wake of the non-lethal gases. However, now they had to contend with trying not to hit civilians. Impossible for this form of advance.

Civilians were not to be targeted, yet one couldn't helpm trigger happy pilots, taking out any vehicle moving away or towards the cloud on the horizon marking the Alfegos advance.

Bombs fell. Missiles wailed. Cannons chattered. The death toll mounted.

"Fellow peasants of Mejico, We warned you that they would bring death and pain to our land, but are warnings fell on deaf ears. And now they gas your homes, kill your children and steal your land for their own use. Your glorious Confederacy has allowed this holocaust to happen, they have even contributed to it themselves. Throughout this the independent movement has stood strong. we will not surrender to the invaders, we will fight for you. All we ask in return is for your help. We cannot build a free Mejico without you power. It is the people that make this nation strong. So we come to you, will you help us take your land back? Will you help us get the ammo and guns we need to fight for you? Will you join us in the fight for Freedom?"

Crowds all over southern Cancun Peninsula joined in the cry for battle. What the Independents would lack in supplies they could now make for in manpower. While at the beginning of the war the Independent movement had maybe 5 to 10% of Mejican backing it, now it was a skyrocketing 55% to 60% Armies of armed peasants marched north to meet the Confederate allies head on back by Independent Battle divisions. The peasant population was by no means professional soldiers, but they had heart and home. Both things they were willing to kill, and die, for. Entire lines marched head on, unfazed by artillery or napalm. It was a slaughter, the and independents and confederates knew it, but it would add to the legend of Mokan resistance, and civilian death rates of course.

If there was one thing Lyrain cruise missiles, Alfegos gas and Mokan Napalm could do, it was give the enemy power.

"What can we do, sir? The independants have got armies of civilians walking to battle with us."

"Technically, they aren't civilians: if they decide to fight us, then they are combatants, and can be shot without remorse. If they shoot us, they are shot back at. Simple as. Also, I doubt they have equipment to deal with the gas, so will be rendered useless and can be picked up and taken back to the POW camps in Caucan. Understood?"

"Yes: it just seems wrong killing children who shoot us."

"They chose to shoot us: they therefore know they will be shot back at. Get the men ready to use lethal gases if they begin to get cocky. I'm sure that a cloud of Rostichok will give us a fighting chance. We take the rest of the province, and capture/kill anyone in our way."

Sur Region

Agents were armed with MI-8s, one GI-MG33 Medium SAW, one FHASAW Heavy SAW, and several men took up positions with EASR sniper rifles.

"Comrade Captain, we have the Comm center under full control."

"Good start listening out there, we need to get all informantion from the battle net, what is going on out there."

"Captain, we got enemy forces coming in, not Confederates."

"Well then this will give us a chance to see what we are facing. All teams to arms. Comm team, keep listening and capturing info."

The communications center was in the side of a mountain, with a nice view of the incoming roads. While it did have a roof, it was not something you would want to land on. It was a jumbled mess of wires and towers, and above that was a decent size satellite dish. The walls were concrete and the only main entrance was blown wide open. The rebels had done that to get in. They instead had barricaded it with a armoured vehicle and behind that had MG nest and two recoilless rifles at the ready. when the lights and sirens were seen the troops looked at each other curious...were these...cops?....either way, they were the enemy.

They loaded two recoilless rifles and fired at the oncoming vehicles while a M60 was firing out of a window at the lighter vehicles

OOC: Sorry to burst in..but Mokastana please cheak Tg's so we can get that rolling.

"What can we do, sir? The independants have got armies of civilians walking to battle with us."

"Technically, they aren't civilians: if they decide to fight us, then they are combatants, and can be shot without remorse. If they shoot us, they are shot back at. Simple as.

"For Freedom, for Mejico, for the revolution, charge!!!"

Independent soldiers lead the militias to battle, many armed with only one rifle or a gun and a few grenades. Either way they ran thought the jungles towards the enemy lines. They didn't care that they wouldn't survive, all they wanted was to die killing the bastards that claimed their villages and homes. Behind them cameras rolled, propaganda at its best.

"This is Confederate command, Alfegos troops, do you have any non-lethal gases that can take care of this issue. If you can knock em out we have the forces to detain them all. just dont let them get the stats they need to keep this war going on for any longer...

As they saw the charge occur, the Alfegosian soldiers quickly dived into their vehicles. At the same time, the aircraft flew over, spraying the entire front with CR gas: 10 times stronger than Mace, it was an iffy thing to use due to the strength and recovery time. Still, better them than the Alfegans...

On the front line, to add to the chemical cloud, soldiers had left small cylinders painted green with a yellow band, which all detonated at the same time. Clouds of CS and CN gas poured out, along with smoke. Only the Alfegans in their vehicles could see in infared, so could easily see the collapsed soldiers writhing in agony as they were blinded.

"Bag them up now. And destroy any filming equipment."

The camera men had gas masks on, they stayed back and watched it fall....that was the plan. A few were captured but some made it back for more films to be made. They needed to get word out of the gas attacks on civilians. Mokan troops rolled in on Transport trucks and APCs and began bagging up the civilains, three whole divisions were now on population control duty. they wanted to make sure as many civilians lived as possible. This way they also captured Independent officers and troops and interrogated them.

The gas clouds continued to advance as the Alfegos troops advanced behind, with the Mokastana confederates picking up all the stunned and blinded soldiers.

The troops continued to advance, now entering the deep inland areas. There would now be more resistance as they ground through the homeland areas of the independants.

"Comrade Captain, we have the Comm center under full control."

"Good start listening out there, we need to get all informantion from the battle net, what is going on out there."

"Captain, we got enemy forces coming in, not Confederates."

"Well then this will give us a chance to see what we are facing. All teams to arms. Comm team, keep listening and capturing info."

The communications center was in the side of a mountain, with a nice view of the incoming roads. While it did have a roof, it was not something you would want to land on. It was a jumbled mess of wires and towers, and above that was a decent size satellite dish. The walls were concrete and the only main entrance was blown wide open. The rebels had done that to get in. They instead had barricaded it with a armoured vehicle and behind that had MG nest and two recoilless rifles at the ready. when the lights and sirens were seen the troops looked at each other curious...were these...cops?....either way, they were the enemy.

They loaded two recoilless rifles and fired at the oncoming vehicles while a M60 was firing out of a window at the lighter vehicles

Two FG Patrol cars were destroyed by the first fire of recoiless rifles, and the M60s weren't penetrating the other vehicles' armors, which were designed for similar incidents, mainly involving AK-47s and other relatively high-powered rifles. The rounds that hit the windows made dots with circles around them, which was an odd characteristic of the form of lightweight bulletproof glass employed on the vehicles. The RSAV riot tanks began firing their 50. cal machine guns, which were designed for mowing down crowds of angry protesters, towards the firing ports. Three S.T.F. Snipers in buildings with a view on the Comms Center began firing Raufoss (semi-explosive 50. cal bullets, yes, I have an obsession with 50. Caliber bullets) rounds into the windows. The other vehicles made their way up, "Federal Guard" now clearly visible to the occupants, and Federal Guardsmen, along with S.T.F. Agents, began laying down fire on any visible Bolivians. RSAVs moved up to begin spewing fire via flamethrower at the armored vehicle blocking the way, as well as to provide cover. Ones that weren't busy assaulting the blockade began to chase individual Bolivians, spiked pinwheel running, flamethrowers ablaze, and machine guns firing.

Capitan Kovac watched as the control room around him was full of people. Each one doing there job. He respected them more now then he had for their past three month patrol. Not one. Not a single one had complained or objected when they received there new orders. Sure there was some disappointed faces when he told them that their orders had been resent. That instead of going home to see their families and getting some much needed R&R they would be rendezvousing with a carrier group to escort a transport fleet. No word on when they would be going home or even what there mission intailed other than escorting that fleet to some country called Mokastana.
They knew their duty as he knew his. Regardless of what it entailed or how long it would last their Czar needed them along the coast of Mokastana so thats where they'd be...Even if it did mean he'd miss his grandson's birth.


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

40 miles away, LT.Nina Popova was watching the first of the T 64 tanks was being loaded onto the transport ships. She would be among the other hundreds of officers being sent to train the Mokastana's how to use and maintain the tanks. Her and the rest of the instructors had strict orders, They were to train and advise the Mokastana's but not to directly participate in any combat missions. Far from what she had been hoping for. She always wanted to be in the thick of it. Leading her platoon from the front into battle, instead of teaching others how to do it. It was the reason she never accepted any of the instructor jobs back home. It was the reason she had the abortion that led to her divorce. She lived for the fight. For the army. For her job.


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


Private Sergei Novikov finished stuffing a last shirt into his duffle bag and looked up to see his 8 month pregnant wife Anna standing in the in the door way with tears streaming down her face. At that moment everything else faded away. He didn't care that it was his job, that it was by the wish of the Czar, that his buddies were going to need him. Right then he just wanted to throw his bag on the floor and tell Anna that hhe wouldn't leave. That he'd never leave her again. Instead he walked over to her and hugged her as tight as he could and barly above a whisper he promised that he would see their boy take his first step and say his first word. That he'd come back safe and sound just like all the other times.

15 thousand feet in the air, 22 year old Rebbecca Rivard a child of an immigrate family, looked around at the dozens of other faces on the plane. She like most volunteered to serve abroad to aide relief organizations. She would be among the first to land in Mokastana to help set up field hospitals and set up refugee camps. She kept telling herself that this was what she wanted. That she had dropped out of law school to become a nurse to help people. But that didn't help her untie the knot she had in her stomach. Without realizing it her eyes drifted back to a very depressed looking Doctor. From what one of the other nurses told her that he hadn't volunteered that had simply been told that he could go to Mokastana or he and his family could lose their home. Forcing herself to look back out the window she tookanother deep breath.

updated map....

MokastanaDeeper inland the 205mm Guns from the 12th Battle Division joined in on the enemy naval targets. Satellites sent to the artillery teams the enemy targets and locations. From there it was simply choosing the right shell that could penetrate the ships hull and fire. Over 50 205mm guns fired their AP rounds in the direction of the enemy surface ship that dared the take out the coastal 16 inch guns.

The firefinder radar operator of the Port Finch did two things following the detection of the salvo of 50 8-inch shells that were fired at his ship.

The first thing he did was slap down on the Cromwell uplink, confirming that the data was provided to the network.

The second thing he did was snatch up his communications microphone and yell into it.

"BRACE, BRACE, BRACE."

Not that that did the Port Finch much good.

It was actually surprisingly difficult to hit a moving ship accurately with gunfire from long range, as the Battle of Jutland and the Faroe Sea proved.

It had, however, been an awfully long time since Jutland.

The first shell ricocheted off the front left corner of 'A' turret, which was set to starboard, and exploded adjacent to the cruiser's heavy belt armour, doing little damage.

The second shall fell fractionally short, and hit the belt on a sharp down angle, bouncing off it and plunging into the sea, sending up a column of water at the blast.

The third flew between the ship's two primary radar masts, and hit the water behind it.

For a couple of seconds, Port Finch was a charmed ship.

But only for the first couple of seconds.

Of the 50 shells fired at her, 32 were solid hits.

The deluge of explosives pounded the heavy cruiser, and, while heavily armoured, 32 hits in fifteen seconds was nothing to scoff at.

'B' turret was knocked out, and 'X' damaged. Radar masts were down. She was heavily holed on the starboard side, and the deck had been penetrated in several areas. Adding insult to injury, her superstructure was ablaze.

Her senior officer was one of the 19 killed, and 130 wounded. Her XO, Lieutenant-Colonel Daniels, ordered hard'a'starboard and all ahead flank, taking her full circle and heading out to rejoin the Falchion.

She was still afloat, but it would take months in a drydock to repair the damage.

Although the firefinder operator didn't know it, his action would enable his ship to be avenged, however.

MokastanaOn the ground 3 Battalions,(3,000 men Mokan Wise) charged towards the beach, leading them were T-90s and AMJ3s 50 a piece, behind them the IronHeart APCs and IFVs were carrying troops to recapture the beaches and maybe storm the enemy ships, if not highly unlikely. They stayed off the main roads but with 50 205mm guns that could be called to help on a moments notice. They felt proud and hopeful in pushing the enemy forces off their beach.

The tanks that lead the Mokan charge ended all pretense of stealth. The powerful diesel engines were heard long before they made visual contact in the medium density terrain. The lead echelons of the 76th Marine Mechanised division dismounted and took up defensive positions, while the IFVs went hull down and watched their sights.

The 76th made first contact hits, raking 25mm cannon fire across the tanks, but first blood went to the Mokans. A T-90's 125mm main gun impacted an LY219 square on, and it exploded, destroying it and killing its crew. Nearby dismounted infantry returned fire with a pair of Javelin ATGMs.

Both advances began to grind to a halt as fire was exchanged to variable effect.

Sub-unit commanders put fire support requests out over the Cromwell and dug in to await the fireworks.



LNS Falchion

Aboard the Falchion, screens lit up with data. Information from the stricken Port Finch's firefinder radar showed the origins of the torrent of fire that had caused it such heavy damage. Lead elements of the 76th division had encountered brigade-sized armoured formations advancing in the van of infantry and mechanised units.

And that was exactly what Field Marshal Ward had counted on.

When he'd told Fleet Colonel Andrith of his concept of operations, Andrith had been sceptical. It seemed to be risky. But he'd been unable to fault it for potential rewards. The Lyran forces had a weapon specifically designed for this scenario.

When the LY589 Hellion was designed, it was designed first as a tactical support platform. That it had turned out to have phenomenal strategic ramifications was a welcome turn of events. The tactical effects (http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb62/2821090/Hellionflightprofile.png) were designed to come from what the Protectorate Research and Development Commission called a wide-area, guided anti-vehicle (WAGAV) warhead. WAGAV warheads are based upon the long-known United States-developed SADARM concept. After arriving at the appropriate target area, WAGAV equipped Hellions trigger the release of thirty submunitions. These submunitions, while still onboard the Hellion, are assigned targets located by either the Hellion's own integral sensory systems, which include radar, IR, thermal imaging and visual recognition programs, or by designator from friendly forces by laser, GPS or Cromwell. Once fired, they independently track, close, correct and engage their targets from above. These warheads have been specifically designed to destroy hostile armoured units, or dispersed high-value targets such as anti-aircraft or artillery batteries, emplaced command and control facilities or ammuntion and fuel resupply areas.

Andrith, consummate professional that he was, pushed aside the thought of the near destruction of the Port Finch and considered the task at hand. The Port Finch's firefinder had located 50 individual heavy gun positions. Given that and the number of tanks thrown into the fray so far, it was probable that the Lyran landing was being opposed by a divisional formation, and the artillery group encountered was the organic divisional artillery group (DAG). Maintaining the secrecy of a DAG was normally of great importance but the Mokans had probably, quite reasonably, assumed that with the suppression of the Port Finch they had neutralised the Lyran capacity to respond to shore based tube artillery.

It was, however, a mistake that would cost dearly.

"Arm forty WAGAV-loaded Hellions, targets as indicated. Release ten at the artillery, and thirty at the combat zone."

That was to ensure sufficient overmatch. That would be 300 submunitions over the artillery, and nine hundred over the combat zone, each one comfortably capable of taking out an MBT.

Overmatch was delicately phrasing it. It was almost a waste of resources. Doctrine was clear, however. The landing forces were tasked to clear the littoral quickly, and press inland. The Falchion was charged to expedite that as required.

"Weapons armed, sir."

"Fire."

The forty missiles cleared their cells, tilted over, and streaked over towards the shore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the CIC deeper within the bowels of the ship, Field Marshal Ward tried to maintain co-ordination of the ground forces on the beach, and the greater strategic position.

His aide handed him a communication, and he looked up from the digital map.


TO: CINC TF EPSILON
FROM: EXECCOMSTF
MESSAGE BEGINS EXPECT ARRIVAL OF PRO-INDEPENDENT FORCES VIA C130 STOP INDEPENDENT PSYOPS HAVE BEEN INTERNATIONALLY SUCCESSFUL STOP SHAZBOTDOM 2ND HAVOC NAVAL BATTLEGROUP EXPECTED TO ENTER THEATRE SHORTLY TO INVESTIGATE INDEPENDENT CLAIMS STOP EXECCOMSTF HAVE DETERMINED THAT INDEPENDENT CLAIMS ARE GROUNDLESS STOP ALL EFFORTS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS ASSISTANCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY SHAZBOTDOM FORCES STOP WARMARSHAL KRELL SENDS REGARDS STOP MESSAGE ENDS


An intriguing development, Ward thought. No matter. The presence of oversight would not alter his modus operandi. Lyran forces, as always, would operate with honour.

Another officer, with another message.

"Sir, Mokastana Military HQ requests that we narrow our range of targets. They say they want their infrastructure intact."

A fair enough perspective. But the problem was, that selfsame infrastructure was stopping the Confederacy from retaking the area by providing the Independents with war materiel.

"Thank you, Major. Acknowledge the request, and inform them that we will do our best."

The tactical map for the landing zone was becoming clearer. Soon, the foothold would become the cleared area, and the liberation of the anti-confederate occupation zone would begin properly.

"On the way out, contact Generalissimo Canarias. Ask him if they've shut down their satellites. If they haven't, ask them why not. They can use our feeds for the moment, and shutting them down from home is an awful lot better than having us shoot them down from here. Either way, I don't want the Independents using Confederate birds to target us."

Seemingly seconds after departing from the CIC, his aide stuck his head through the door.

"Field Marshal Ward, sir."

"Mmmmmmm?"

"Generalissimo Durkin over the radio. Channel 3."

"Cheers. Major Feyrel, get the recording equipment set up, then patch him through."

"Yes sir."

There was a brief pause, before the major spoke again.

"Ready sir."

"Thanks. Generalissimo Durkin, this is Ward. What can we do for you?"

Alfegos had a tactic in mind: while Batallions 1-2 of the Mech. and the armour went straight for Mejico city, the other three batallions would move in a sweeping movement, clearing out a massive swath of enemy inland. Supported by artilley, they had a good plan of attack.

The gas cloud was not limited to the impending line of doom on the frontline: further behind, in key enemy pockets, shells and missiles had landed and instead of exploding sprayed the area with CW-HT3: a herbicide that was lethal within hours to all foliage in the area, causing mass death of trees and plants, leaving the forested area completely exposed. Of course, anyone squirted badly by the concoction of 2,3,4-T and 1-Triglycol Methampthetaglycerine (amongst other nasty substances) could be likely to be affected by its tetragenic and carcinogenic properties.

"Shit sir they are breaching the entrance"

"well that kills any chance for a clean getaway...."

the captain began plotting different ideas in his mind.

"Do we at least have an idea of what is going on out there"

"yes sir we numerous allies for both sides are showing up for the war. We got Lyras, ALfegos, ASHCA and our friends outside on the confederates and Indonesia and Ritharian on the side of the independents..."

"send a message to the independents asking for assistance!"

"will do sir"

The two recoiless rifles were no longer manned as the enemy snipers took care of that. However that meant that the two RPG-7 soldiers were have to make pop shots out of the 6 windows at vehicles before a sniper could get em. The outer fence was tension wire in front of concrete barrier, it would only be a matter of time before they got in...

"This is enough of dealing with them killing our land. Weve lost too many people already. Send 4 Battle divisions to intercept them on the way and push them back to Cancun."

Overall 9 Divisions were now pushing back towards the allied lines. The Mokan troops fought hard and valiantly allowing the Alfegos to do their gassing. However, they weren't the only ones with artillery. General Bulba of the independent army had set up the trap, 150 205mm guns, protected by lines of Independent troops and IFVs and AMJ3s commence bombardment on the Afegos advance. The rest pounded the Confederate forces, who in turn readied their mobile 205mm guns and returned fire. Artillery was once called the god of war, and today, over 300 kilometer battlefield, it proved it. by the end their wouldn't be a patch of dirt that wasn't burned or beaten in by war...

"Rocketeers, lets give these bastards hell!!!"

As the enemy bombardment from 150 stationary guns began, the troops quickly took cover in their IFVs. A smoke screen, laced with CS gas, was soon set up to try and counter the damage. At the same time, the 2 rockteer regiments in range, about 6000 men in 325 LY300 Manitcore artillery systems opened fire: they were firing modified Longbow and Crossbow missiles at extremely rapid rates: one showered the enemy in a storm of bomblets, killing off his infantry rapidly, while the other found vehicles and turned them into wrecks.

In the first minute, 600 longbow and 320 crossbow missiles shot from the Alfegos positions, each causing small fireballs to be thrown up in the distance.

Now under cover, all the vehicles pushed forward at an increased rate, to try and be the first to get to the artillery line.

"Thanks. Generalissimo Durkin, this is Ward. What can we do for you?"

Durkin was listening to the battle-net when the message came in.

"Greetings Ward. I will be upfront, you guys get on my nerves, but because i don't want to lose any men due to this dumbfuck in front of me i am willing to talk. In short, i will keep Tierra Nueva and the occupied territories neutral until this war is over. Then rejoin Mokastana after the bloodshed. However I need you to stop shooting at TN targets and destroying are hardware. As soon as i Get off the radio with you i will issue a national Stand down order and all of our forces will dis engage and pull back. I need you to do the same, is that agreed?"

TO: Field Marshal Ward
FROM: Generalissimo Canarias

While we do have a national network that connects all Mokan Military forces together via Satellite we have cut off every division that has declared independence. However because satellites transmitting are shared it is possible that the Independents may or may not have access to them. Given the position in Tierra Nueva we have not shut them off from intelligence completely.

The only man capable of shutting down the network is Jason Franshaw, Director of the MBSA, who is in Greal as a prisoner in their civil war. His Brother has taken a portion of the navy to bring him back here.

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

On the battlefield everything happened fast. The tanks and IFVs charged and were engaging, both sides were taking heavy losses. Infantry was charging in and the 50 205mm guns were called in on the enemy positions, not all 50, just 15 opened fire and tried to clear a hole in enemy lines, However when the Hellions flew over and tore apart the battalions, it was a slaughter. A heavy loss for the 12th Battle Division. Most of the infantry survived though and continued the assault with RPG-29s and AM-07s (7.62x54mm rounds). Mortars and other heavy guns were being set up to help the assault. In all reality they should of retreated, but with the vehicles down and most upper officers dead, the sergeants were pissed and ordered the advance.

For the protection of the batteries in the back, Patriots opened fire and began taking down missiles. While 50 had bombarded the Port Finch, there was 100 "Triple A guns" as the soldiers called them. So of the initial 10 missiles targeting the Artillery 3 made it passed the massive AA that was launched by General Xavier, which lead to 30 munitions taking out a massive chunk of his artillery.

"Can our guns reached that ship?"

"Let me check satellite feed to see how far out they are."

"Sir, message coming in from Generalissimo Durkin."

In the Diplomatic Conference Chamber, the Five SCS Marines were being briefed on the situation within Mokastana. The news was grim, the possibility of Genocide by foreign governments who are supposedly helping a tyranical government oppress freedom fighters who are just trying to get a voice in their government. Although with the possibility of tampered video evidence, there was some major doubt in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor and the Imperial Cabinet as to if these allegations were true, or falcified to ensure that more foreign governments enter the conflict.

What the marines were doing, checking to see if these Allegations were true, has been dubbed 'OPERATION: Mokastanian Genocide Investigation' by the Shazbotdom Government and the operation was voted in favor of, with a vote of 5 to 1. And with the orders, the 2nd HAVOC Naval Battlegroup set sail on full battle aleart, just in case. Their approximate time of arrival was within the next 24 hours.

In The Diplomatic Conference Chamber
"Alright. The situation is that these Mokastana people are claiming that there was an attack on the docks area of a city, where refugee's were being kept from the conflict that has ravaged their nation and that aircraft from a foreign nation has napalmed the area. Also, other such travesties have occured that they are claiming were caused by these foreign nations as well as this 'Confederacy' that is currently in control of the nation."

He then walks over to a digital map and clears his throat.

"Your job is to split up into two teams, 3 SCS's and 150 Marines in one and 2 SCS's and 150 Marines in the other, and check out several key points that are located Here, Here, Here and Here. If by your investigations these travesties have occured and it wasn't just staged by these people wishing for international help, we will send our findings back to Shazbotdom Marine Command and the Imperial Palace for further discussion and the possibility of further military intervention."

The monitor shuts off and the lights in the room come on.

"This information has been downloaded into your on-board systems. We will update it as often as we can via the satelite uplink. You are dismissed."

With that, the SCS Marines stood up and exited the room, ducking to make it through the doorway. 'OPERATION: Mokastanian Genocide Investigation' has officially begun.

From: Verusa Union
To: President Villa or Legitmate leader

The Council of Verusa Union has announced that it will supported a peacekeeping mission and assist your armed forces in anyway. The force will be comprised of eighty thousand Angaorian Soldiers alongside 15,000 Jamiastani soldiers we will as be donating 22 billion dollars in aid. With your premission we will begin to deploy within the next 24 hours. Which we hope you want deny as a follow member of the Verusa Union. We stand and support our allies as long as it takes

TO: Verusa Union
FROM: Generalissimo Nicolas Villa

Forgive the title, but desperate times called for desperate measures and the Confederacy has been suspended. Human rights are still in effect thanks to the Kings laws, and we welcome fellow Verusan Soldiers into battle. The money will be saved until after the war to help rebuild Mejico.

Thank you

OOC:
I've edited my Wiki to include this as a current operation. It will show this operation from my nations point of view and i've made the page so only the Sysop can edit it, so no one can mess around with it at all.

I understand the need for you investigation, for many facts can be mixed up from the transfer of information from hand to hand, but trust me. I have lost over 400,000 Civilian lives in this war and do not plan to lose anymore. If you must investigate before sending help so be it, but you can be sure you will find all the evidence you need.

OOC: genocide....hmmm...puts a whole new spin on things..

Commander Tarasov had been that he would be leading the Nosovian combat forces in Mokastana just 22 hours ago.

Rebbecca was helping to set up a MASH tent in Mejico city. They had landed just under an hour before.

Rebbecca was helping to set up a MASH tent in Mejico city. They had landed just under an hour before.

A Generalissimo Humvee came out to meet the forces setting up MASH tents in Mejico City. Inside was Emilio Sanchez, leader of the Revoluionary movement. As the vehicle parked his guards loaded their AM-07s and he went out to meet he new friends.

"Welcome to the soon to be Free Nation of Mejico. Im sorry you couldnt of visited on a better day, but alas, this is what the world is."

In the distance artillery shells could be heard firing...the confederates were slowly surrounding Mejico City...

"Rocketeers, lets give these bastards hell!!!"

As the enemy bombardment from 150 stationary guns began, the troops quickly took cover in their IFVs. A smoke screen, laced with CS gas, was soon set up to try and counter the damage. At the same time, the 2 rockteer regiments in range, about 6000 men in 325 LY300 Manitcore artillery systems opened fire: they were firing modified Longbow and Crossbow missiles at extremely rapid rates: one showered the enemy in a storm of bomblets, killing off his infantry rapidly, while the other found vehicles and turned them into wrecks.

In the first minute, 600 longbow and 320 crossbow missiles shot from the Alfegos positions, each causing small fireballs to be thrown up in the distance.

Now under cover, all the vehicles pushed forward at an increased rate, to try and be the first to get to the artillery line.

What they ran into was technically artillery, but not what they wanted. Instead they saw lines of dug in AMJ3 MBTs. General Bulba was ready for a charge, but didn't expect it. Their larger 150mm Guns fired high explosive rounds unto the advancing enemy troops, along with supporting fire from T-90s....Behind them were mortar teams firing heavy explosive bombs onto the field. In front of the lines were minefields ready to disable enemy attacks, based on the most probable routes they would take.

However they still had to deal with the incoming cruise missiles, The main concern was taking out the crossbows so that the Mobile 205mm guns would live. Those that were targeted immediately fled towards safer ground. A few patriots managed to take out some missiles, but overall in the end 60 Triple A guns were burning wrecks and another 75 were disabled, and facing the wrong way to give support fire....

Counter battery fire....

another 50 205mm Guns, just like the rest of them, mobile, further back unleashed another blow from hell this time into the rocket regiments. Except these had protection from Patriots as well as SAM Ironhearts......Hopefully another missile attack could be avoided

OOC: the AMJ3 is the Mokan version of the Type-99, with a larger barrel, revised turret to both accommodate the larger gun and prevent enemy shells from jamming the turret. It is still smooth bore, but the larger shell size allows it to fire Indirect bombardment munitions

Mokan doctrine relies a lot on artillery...

OOC: nothing wrong with .50 cal bullets, keeps logistics easy

IC:

"Shit sir they are breaching the entrance"

"well that kills any chance for a clean getaway...."

the captain began plotting different ideas in his mind.

"Do we at least have an idea of what is going on out there"

"yes sir we numerous allies for both sides are showing up for the war. We got Lyras, ALfegos, ASHCA and our friends outside on the confederates and Indonesia and Ritharian on the side of the independents..."

"send a message to the independents asking for assistance!"

"will do sir"

The two recoiless rifles were no longer manned as the enemy snipers took care of that. However that meant that the two RPG-7 soldiers were have to make pop shots out of the 6 windows at vehicles before a sniper could get em. The outer fence was tension wire in front of concrete barrier, it would only be a matter of time before they got in...

The RSAVs began ramming the barrier with their spiked pinwheels, while the S.T.F. vans released the Agents onto the battlefield in new numbers. These Agents tossed grenades at the barrier, as well as used wirecutters to take care of the tension wires. One RSAV was near one of the "pop-shot" windows when one of the RPG wielding Bolivians fired a grenade right through the glass, shattering it and killing the driver and flamethrower operation. The machine gunners ditched the tank and joined the other Federal Guardsmen in their attack.

((Sorry for not describing the RSAV. The RSAV, Riot Suppression Attack Vehicle, is essentially an armored killdozer. It has a relatively thin layer of chobham (A little less than a foot, which is pretty thin.), with two Fifty Caliber Machine Guns mounted at a semi-forward angle, and a flamethrower cannon on the bottom, which fires out of a half-circle formed on the bottom center of the tank. The gas tank for the flamethrower is inside the crew quarters, which is where the driver and machine gunners sit. The flamethrower operator sits in a lowered "pit" over the thrower, using a computer to direct aiming. The turrets for the machine guns are small ports, allowing just enough room for aiming. The window is a large bulletproof window with a very good field of vision. A spiked rolling pinwheel is mounted on the front, over the flamethrower's up/down firing range. The roller pin is used for when the tank rushes into the crowd of rioters, stabbing and crushing those who get caught in front of it. Most riots disperse as soon as these arrive on scene.))

Capt. Kalinin had been working continuously trying to get the MASH set up to receive patients and after several exhausting hours the most important medical units were up and running. He was watching as a pair of volunteers rushing a wounded boy on a stretcher he seen a Generalissimo Humvee driving up. As he walked towards it could of sworn the artillery shells were landing closer.

Thank you sir. We're moving as fast as we can to be fully operational by dusk. Once we do that we will start sending out medivac on foot though the city to limit how far people have t go to get help. Anything thing else you need us to do we'll be more than happy to.



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

Commander Tarasov, the last of the cargo has been loaded. We'll be able to launch by sunrise.

With a waive of his hand Tarasov dismissed the petty officer. Going back to the papers on his desk detailing his orders and cross check them with a recently printed map of Mokastana. This would be the first time Nosovia flexed any muscle in the international community. Nothing could go wrong. He wouldn't allow it. He couldn't afford it because if it did he would pay with his life.

The second bombardment hit some of the vehicles, yet now they had a clear view of the terrain.

"Get us some minesweeping kit!"

Amongst the artillery fire, a few lorries managed it to the frontline. There, from each lorry came the hiss as a rocket launched off of it. Trailing it was an 80mm pipe, filled with explosives. It came back to ground at about 600m away, and the pipe had fully left the lorry. A few seconds later, it detonated, destroying any mines within 5 metres of the pipe.

The MBTs might be a problem: they had started opening up.

"Lets see if we can't get some air-support!"

At the same time, the artillery batteries again let loose another volley: from their intelligence, crossbows seemed to be the best option. A total of 72 missiles came flying towards the enemy, while the batteries furiously tried to use a sketchy RADAR map to locate targets.

______________________________

Two wings of A-10G Ground attack bombers screamed off the runways at Cacun, ready to attack the enemy. Each of the 16 planes had been fitted out with 12 "Screaming - Oblivion" ASMs, with a payload containing a single 500lb bomb. They soon had visual on the enemy, and soared in to take out the enemy armour.

With artillery being without Satellite guidance they were mostly relying on RADAR, visual confirmation or in some cases, like with the cruise missiles, good ole mathmatics, with spy plane checking.

Two MIG-29s took off to verify that the shells were hitting the right targets and buzzed the enemy rockets with a bit of good old fashion AT missiles, once the coordinates were in the artillery fired much more accurately.

On the lines as the Alfegos and Confederates pushed thought the nice pathways they were making the tanks pelted their advance. Once they hit the trenches though the Indepdents had a special plan to take care of that armour

Luckily the Bolivians had retreated into the main structure so that those killdozers would be rendered useless....The structure was mostly concrete and rock from the mountain it was carved out off.

SCENE: TH-0923, Tempora Heroica class Aircraft Carrier
The fleet was going faster than they anticipated. They would be there within 3 hours, in which the SCS Marines and the Standard Marines would go ashore via several AC-01 (http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/MarineAircraft/Pelican.jpg) Pelican Troop Transport aircraft with a protection group of SA-32A "Thunderbolt" class Strategic Bomber/Fighter's (http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/NavalAircraft/thunderbolt.jpg). Orders were to go in and land the Investigation Team nearby the Capital City of the Confederacy. Where they will inspect the conditions there at first and then break up into two different groups and move to the first two investigation sites that were designated by the Shazbotdom Government and Shazbotdom Marine Command.

On the Flight Deck
Within the bowels of the carrier were the flight decks. With this specific Aircraft Carrier, the flight decks were underneith the hull of the ship, with two launch ports on the front (one right over the other) and the landing ports on the back of the ship in the same pattern. The first out of the launch ports would be the Thunderbolts, who would then go on a defensive pattern around the ship while the Pelican's made their takeoff from the ship. But thats not real important now. What is important is that currently the Pelicans and Thunderbolts are being fueled up at this moment, and the Thunderbolts are being armed to the teeth with amunition for their guns, as well as a full contingent of Anti-Air and Anti-Land missiles inside of their missile pods, located on both sides of the cockpit.

If nessicary, they would fire upon any military targets that would threaten the saftey of the Investigation Team aboard the Pelicans.

"No no, we are good for now.You have provided me with everything you could, any thing else i need only the winds of fate can provide. But I came out here to thank you personally for your assistance in helping us become free."

Around them the independent soldiers came back from the front with wounded and dead. The bodies were sorted and taken care off while the able bodied independents helped doctors and nurses with the wounded. Emilio looked at the MASH and smirked a little, then let the pain flow in.

"It saddens me what a government will do to keep its rag flying over some one else's soil. What ever happened to liberty in this world?"

OOC: youve seen the maps right?

I assume you are in the Atlantic....

The enemy MiGs flagged up on the sensor network installed inside the command vehicles both on the front and behind lines. As they came in, the order went to the SkySinger platforms in the ranks of the artillery to open fire with Rainbow SAMs, each with a 25 mile range for hunting down the aircraft.

The enemy artillery was getting to be a problem though. Time for the counter attack.

The armour rolled through the gaps opening up across the battlefront, while some of the mechnaised infantry ran ahead, placing down backpack-mounted cylinders. This tactic could make or break Alfegos, depending on how much video evidence they had.

Along the front, 320 of these cylinders were installed, each with a 20 litre capacity. Each was filled with Sarin. A message was thrown across open channels:

We want an ending to the bloodshed: you will lay down your arms and surrender, or you will all be killed. What do you choose?

Behind the cylidners of gas, the M1A4 Warhounds fired off rounds at allocated targets, while the IFVs were filled with soldiers in BioChem warfare suits. The command vehicles were filled with the commanders and advisiors, with the signal ready to release the gas by detonators.

General Bulba laughed hysterically at this, they were using Sarin gas...easily a war crime. Especially when the world was watching. MIGs flew over head recording the battle, after all behind the lines was a small army of "refugees" who were now armed to defend themselves against "imperialism." Sarin gas on the lines, how thoughtful. He couldnt of planned this better himself.

"Order the charge of the militia, make it look like they gassed our brave refugees who took up arms against the invaders, because they would rather die on their feet then live on their knees. Let the world know that no Mokan or mejican rebel will sit back and take it. It is time to make a stand."

The militia charged in, getting intermixed with the tanks and infantry who did the unthinkable, they charged froward towards the enemy, not all the line, but about 30% of the surviving members, they wanted it to look good.

OOC: youve seen the maps right?

I assume you are in the Atlantic....

OOC:
Glanced over them quickly before. I'll go back and re-look at them. Did you edit a link to them in the OP of the thread?

updated map....

here is the most recent one

"Don't fire the cylinders yet... they are trying to be clever."

The sarin cylinders lay undisturbed, little red LEDs flashing to indicate their dangerous state. Ahead, the militia were charging towards them.

"Retreat behind the minefield. Then they will kill themselves by their own tactics. Any survivors we can gun down. Ready?"

The vehicles rolled back while the artillery continued to exchange fire. The machineguns began chattering at the militia as soon as they appeared running across the minefield, followed by explosions from the tanks as the shells began to land. From the heavy M1A4s, there came hisses as the missile pods fired off pairs of wire-guided missiles at the enemy line, followed by distant explosions accompanied by screams.

And now, any Sarin cylinders that burst would be the fault of the enemy, bursting the cylidners purposefully. How would that look to their supporters? The officers thought of this as their helmet-mounted cameras took in a slightly-blurred view of the battle, for use as evidence.

OOC:
Then yeah. I saw an older version, that gets me up to speed. I'll come from the east, around the Florida Peninsula.

"very well, it looks like you learn from your mistakes dont you?" Of course if i called in an artillery strike we can claim that we didn't know that the Sarin was there..."

With that he ordered the charge to stop at the minefield and let the artillery take care of business...

30 205mm guns released unto the enemy's fall back position....

(Was that OOC?)

sorry no it was Bulba talking to himself...

be back later....

The artillery began landing as the militia ran across the minefield. Most shells were glancing or misses, but then a stray shell hit one of the command trucks behind lines. The explosion inadvertanly caused massive sparks to leap into the controls for the detonators...

The cylinders emmited small bangs, and then a quiet hiss as the gas sprayed out in a fine mist.

"Damn it! We're gonna have hell to pay now."

They just had to hope the wind was blowing in the right direction.

"Sir, report of Sarin gas on the front line, not full use, but its out there"

"near them i hope"

"yes sir, we are watching the wind, but sadly as of now its not blowing strong enough to make a difference"

----------

Back on the battlefield the masses of militia were taking numerous causalities, many hide behind tanks and APCs and let the soldiers do the fighting. Shots were ringing out left and right, the orders were to give them hell, and when the artillery hit and some saw tanks hissing gas, they knew it was time to pull back. So the vehicles loaded up as much as they could and pulled back to their lines. To be safe they called in an airstrike of MIGs with napalm to strike behind the enemy lines, the goal was three fold, one: destroy the supplies, especailly their large amounts of chem suits,two: Cut them off from the rest of the units, and lastly: create a vacuum to pull the Sarin gas towards the Alfegos troops.

Luckily the Bolivians had retreated into the main structure so that those killdozers would be rendered useless....The structure was mostly concrete and rock from the mountain it was carved out off. SO they could at leats hide from the .50 cal bullets for now. If the enemy infantry fired those things that could be a problem.

"when they get in give them hell!"


As soon as the outside's gunfire stopped, the S.T.F. snipers fired their Raufoss explosives at the radio antennae, hoping to prevent reinforcements from arriving. "Damn Bolivians, they've barricaded themselves in the room. Toss in some gas, that should take care of a few of them." said one of the Federal Guard Lieutenants on scene. Several Guardsmen attempted to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. So they hooked up some C3 (Not a typo, C3 is better for blowing open large doors with less collateral damage) to the door. They began setting up a defensive barricade of their own with the RSAVs, the facility's concrete barriers, and sandbags brought in by the Bolivians when they moved in. "Detonating in 5..." A Guardsmen prepared a grenade filled with less-than-lethal-if-deployed-in-small-amount gas.

Just then gas canisters flew in the windows, at which point afew bolivians holding thier breath grabbed them and chucked them out the windows. However a few soldiers were already getting drowsy from the gas...

"Shit sir, shit"

"Aim out the windows and kill those fuckers"

That way they looked tougher then they currenlty were, and fresh air was needed. the 6 windows were suddenly filled with men shooting, tossing grenades and two RPGs firing off. The Captain and a few other men had gone into the second floor and barricaded them in the Comm room.

SCENE: TH-0923, Tempora Heroica class Aircraft Carrier
The fleet was rounding the Florida Key's on final approach to the Mokastanian Capital. And as they passed the Florida Key's, they began the deployment of the Pelicans and Thunderbolt's into the air. The lead Thunderbolt was the first one out of the Launch Port from the front portion of the aircraft carrier. As soon as he was set, he radioed ahead to the Mokastanian Air Athority.

"This is the Shazbotdom Investigation Flight Group to Mokastani Air Traffic Control. Request Permission to come in on a vector of Three Two Seven mark Five Nine One. Total of 50 Thunderbolt's and 30 Pelican Aircraft. Repate. 50 Thunderbolt's and 30 Pelicans requesting permission to come in on a vector of Three Two Seven mark Five Nine One. Over?"

He checked back behind him and watched the rest of the flight group as they took off out of the Launch Ports from the front of the TH-0923. he hoped that nothing bad happens during this operation...

OOC:
I'll post more tomarrow. It's just too damn tired right now to think straight about what I want to type up next. As you could tell by my previous post, there wasn't much guts to it.

"No no, we are good for now.You have provided me with everything you could, any thing else i need only the winds of fate can provide. But I came out here to thank you personally for your assistance in helping us become free."

Around them the independent soldiers came back from the front with wounded and dead. The bodies were sorted and taken care off while the able bodied independents helped doctors and nurses with the wounded. Emilio looked at the MASH and smirked a little, then let the pain flow in.

"It saddens me what a government will do to keep its rag flying over some one else's soil. What ever happened to liberty in this world?"



Rebbecca hadn't slept in almost 27 hours and by the looks of things she wasn't going to any time soon. She was part of a team working in the eastern most side of Mejico City rationing out medicine to those in this part of the city.
She had just raised her canteen when Sosay (another relief worker) spotted someone dragging a man towards them. Becky bring the stretcher he's lost a lot of blood. Dropping the canteen she rushed over and unfolded the stretcher...

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

Commander looked out at the horizon from the bridge of the NEN Nina(Nexus carrier and flagship of the battle group).For a moment he let himself forget where they were going and the trails that they'd face when they got there and in the fleeing second he allowed he smile cross his face. Abruptly his trance was broken by someone a a comm station.

Sir a small fire broke out on the Vladimir. They lost three crewmen, but they managed to put it out before it damaged any essential decks and they will be able to maintain course without delay.


Tarasov nodded to the man and walked out of the room. Just 51 hours until they reach Mokastana.

In the confusion of the artillery barrage and gas flying across from either side, a call of order shot across.

"All troops advance! All troops advance!"

All the vehicles began to rumble forwards, with the bottlenecks where the mines had been cleared being kept clear of masses of vehicles by a pooling area further back.

The first vehicles acorss were the heavy M1A4 Warhounds, each with very thick rochester armour, ERA bricks and in internal skin of ElRA. The main guns, 150mm smoothbores, fired off at the enemy positions with explosions occuring everywhere. The ones that hadn't fired off their missile pods waited until they could see artillery before doing so.

Mokastana"Greetings Ward. I will be upfront, you guys get on my nerves, but because i don't want to lose any men due to this dumbfuck in front of me i am willing to talk. In short, i will keep Tierra Nueva and the occupied territories neutral until this war is over. Then rejoin Mokastana after the bloodshed. However I need you to stop shooting at TN targets and destroying are hardware. As soon as i Get off the radio with you i will issue a national Stand down order and all of our forces will dis engage and pull back. I need you to do the same, is that agreed?"

"To a point. We are landing where we are for obvious reasons. We intend to prosecute the war against independent forces to the south and west. We are perfectly happy to leave Tierra Nueva be, if you provide your word, on your honour as an officer, that upon cessation of hostilities you will rejoin the Mokastana Confederacy."

Ward paused, and pondered his next words carefully.

"You, and your people, are our allies. We are not here as invaders, to subjugate or repress you. We are here by your government's request, to help in this time of trial. If you are not enemies of your own government, then you are no enemies of ours."

He leant over the handset, and continued.

"I will give the order to hold fire. But our units will continue to advance south and west. Were you to allow us access to the port facilities and docks at Corpus Christi, it would greatly assist our efforts to restore peace and order to Mokastana, and enable us to resupply and reinforce our units much more easily. It would also be a very firm guarantee and gesture of goodwill on your part, which would doubtlessly allay Generalissimo Canarias' fears about your position."

Ward chuckled a little, before going on.

"Fears which I'm sure you would share, given his position."

Longsword Battlegroup

The orders deprioritising military infrastructure with alternate civilian roles had come through after the first salvo, and not entirely unexpectedly. The strikes were calculated to be crippling, and it was not likely that the Confederacy would have been comfortable with the medium-long term ramifications.

Still, factories and bridges could be rebuilt. People could not.

Primary strategic suppression having been completed, the battlegroup shifted it's attention to the Alfegosian front, advancing down the Cancun peninsula, and towards embattled Mejico City.

Powerful air defence radars turned south-west, and illuminated the air for thousands of kilometres. LY4030s were armed, and hot.

Fleet General Walters picked up his radio set, and a radioman nodded at him. The feed was live, and would broadcast in the open.

“Now hear this, now hear this. This is Fleet General Walters of Lyran Task Force Epsilon. As of this moment, all airspace south of 24 degrees north longitude and west of 88 degrees west latitude is controlled airspace."

He looked down at his display, before continuing.

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb62/2821090/Airinterdictionzone.png

"All aircraft flying within the specified area are to announce your presence, and declare your intent, or you will be fired upon. Aircraft broadcasting Confederate or confederate-allied IFF are exempt from this declaration. Any aircraft within controlled airspace have 45 seconds to comply.”

Walters hung up the reciever. There were other people paid to answer the phone, and he bet there'd be a whole host of nothing, or a terrified gaggle of civilian aircraft frantically trying to get transponder authorisation.

“Sir, radar reports that Shazbotdom aircraft are on approach to Mokastana City.”

“Thank you. Keep an eye on it. Unless they open fire on the Confederacy, leave them be.”

He turned his attention to the next task. Support of the advance towards Mejico City.

“Okay. Signal the Dreadful Bride. Have it arm its Hellions, and prepare to launch in support of Confederate and Alfegosian advances on the Cancun front.”

“Aye, sir.”

“Get me Field Marshall Juk'li Hl'oan of Alfegos. Not much point in having fire-support on call if they don't know to call it in.”

OOC: i thought you guys were in panama, The independents put you there to counter the Scandinavians. which apparently dropped the invasion...either way, in Central America high profile targets....no, Mejico City is where all the leadership is.

ooc: meh we then gonna send everything to aid the independents on the front lines and screw panama! but give me a name to send them 2.

All Alfegos airscraft in the controlled area quickly activated their AFF units for a quick burst, stating they were allies. That would be enough.

In Alfegos High Command centre, a red flashing symbol had lit up across the Cacun battlefront.

"I didn't give permission for them to use it yet."

"Sir, they were deployed after a command vehicle was hit directly, sending out a pulse from the faildeadly system."

"Shit. Delete the computer records for this, and make sure that the files in the vault are given Alpha-3 encryption. We don't want this to leak out. And tell the men on the frontline to cleanup after themselves with NaOH spray and to put all the gassed bodies into LS-Vs. Then, get them to dump them in the sea. We will not let this get out."

"We are fucked aren't we sir?"

The Captain didnt respond

The Federal Guard units picked up whatever gas grenades that were near them, unaffected due to their gas masks (Which are worn as an intimidation and protection tool). The RPGs and other explosives hit the ground hard, blowing numerous Guardsmen away. A Federal Guard Lieutenant took cover behind a firing RSAV, and shouted into his gas mask-mounted radio, "Damn it, they've got explosives! Get some choppers over here, now!". At the base where the force had landed, several AH-64 Apaches began taking off. An S.T.F. Agent with an FSIAAS-mounted grenade launcher fired a grenade filled with Anthrax modified to die after a minute if not kept moist by a host's throat. Another RSAV was disabled, but not destroyed.

Ooc: Very Very Sorry. Ive Been Busy And I Could Only Do Issues And Stuff.

OOC: didnt your guys kill all my troops...bloodlust?

IC:

Above the advancing Ironheart Divisions a flight team of MIG-29s (30) and Bear Bombers (10) flew overhead...

They were armed with more napalm, while the MIGs had anti-tank rockets to take out any vehicles that showed up during the fire bombing...

More would of been sent but with the massive missile attack from the Lyras fleet more AA would not be needed...

OOC: some pockets still were still holding off; only about 100 soldiers if you want to agree... more later, need to go!

"To a point. We are landing where we are for obvious reasons. We intend to prosecute the war against independent forces to the south and west.

Serrano was kneeling over in the limo crying from the last bullet, in his kneecap this time. Durkin told him to shut up because he was on the radio...

"Either way Ward, I need you off the beaches and in the sea. You can reland in the port 5 miles from your current location. Assuming its still intact. I have ordered a region wide stand down, no one is to fire a shot without permission from me and only me. In return in need you in sea, even for a few hours to regain control of the men here and reorganize for damage control. Im here to prevent bloodshed, it wouldn't make much sense to piss you or Villa and Canarias off now would it"

Looking back a Serrano...

"I never did like you, but what can i say, President Jackson was afraid of me, so he promoted you, I find it ironic that you would be the one to imprison him. So are you ready for a traitors death?"

Over Mejico Airspace

A total of 16 Independent aircraft were up, after all there air force was a mere 64 planes, compared the the total Confederate Air Force of approximatively 1,000 Fighters alone(pre-war). Many AF bases had their pilots and crew flee to Baja California or Tierra Nueva during the coup. One or two AF bases resisted and most of their Aircraft were destroyed during the fighting. Once the declaration from the Lyras Fleet was heard they were all ordered to be Grounded ASAP, or play Confederate if they couldnt get there in time.

ooc: meh we then gonna send everything to aid the independents on the front lines and screw panama! but give me a name to send them 2.
OOC:
ok then get to Mejico City...

In the confusion of the artillery barrage and gas flying across from either side, a call of order shot across.

The main guns, 150mm smoothbores, fired off at the enemy positions with explosions occuring everywhere. The ones that hadn't fired off their missile pods waited until they could see artillery before doing so.

The Militia and infantry were ordered back to the trenches and stay there with close to medium range AT guns and devices...

However the T-90s and AJM3s would stay and fight, they targeted lead vehicles, the idea was to block the routes they had made trapping forces so tha artillery could be called in. Which it was. 150mm AJs and 125mm T-90s fired right back into the enemy lines. ERA bricks from both side exploded unto the field. After all that was the popular thing nowadays wasn't it. However the bricks would soon be destroyed, they could only take one hit. THen everyone would be relying on their composites.

From behind the Alfegos Advance the Confederate Divisions were coming in to assist. While thier 205mm guns were being set up. Command ordered the AJM3s to provide indirect artillery support. Using shells that were GPS corrected and targeted via satellite feed they fired 150mm shells over the alfegos clean up site and right into the Independent lines, Artillery counter battery fire was called in. in short, shells and explosions everywhere, chaos ensued.

The Federal Guard units picked up whatever gas grenades that were near them, unaffected due to their gas masks (Which are worn as an intimidation and protection tool). The RPGs and other explosives hit the ground hard, blowing numerous Guardsmen away. A Federal Guard Lieutenant took cover behind a firing RSAV, and shouted into his gas mask-mounted radio, "Damn it, they've got explosives! Get some choppers over here, now!".

After enough gas and anthax the men inside, without proper chemical protection were being taken out. Two passed out, then three...the anthrax killed another two, leaving one guy with an RPG who retreated to the upstairs control room with the Captain and three men.

"I want you to be ready to jump out when they get though that door, because they will, but i hope they think we are dead. Fire the RPG into the center of the group toss it back to me and start firing, i will reload the RPG and take it upstairs and fire on more teams coming in. You two, I want one to help him lay suppression fire onto the door, and the other, you get to roof hatch and see if you cant get a better signal, i want this thing fixed. Remember, no one is coming to save us. We make our stand here for Bolivia."

line 1: You are finsished amigo, just surrender, you caused the chaos you wanted.

line 2: Yes much chaos has ensued. However i think now I am actually falling for their cause, you should join us Generalissimo--

line 1: These lines are not secure enough you cavron, nothing is anymore, that is why this will be our last conversation before your trail. The allied forces are closing in, you will not survive much longer, even if you really did fall for their cause. You are poor liar cavron...

line 2: While yes they are closing in that doesn't mean i wont survive. These piss poor Mejicans/Mokan half breeds will die, but not me. I am plotting an escape.

line 1: (sigh) I still don't get how an anarchist piece of shit like you pulled this off, but i was sympathetic to the Mejican cause, not yours. Remember that.

line 2: I do, very well, thats why I am only telling you to expect me to live, someone needs to know. Very well, good luck comrade

alright we here kill everything...
*proceed to go on killing rampage of everything*

The tanks that were trapped under fire in the crossing zones were soon hit by shells, with damage received ranging from minor to moderate. Soon though vehicles began to be destroyed. It was time for the trump cards to be played.

>>>INITIALISING....
>>>SYSTEM BOOT COMPLETE...
>>>SYSTEM CHECK COMPLETE...
>>>INTERFACE COMPLETE
>>>AQUIRING TARGETS...
>>>TARGETS TRACKED = 120
>>>TARGET GROUPING = MEDIUM
>>>WEAPONRY DEPLOYED = TYPE 82 B-MD-EMP

The computer system aboard a modified B-52, essential for the safe use of such systems, had the targets selected. In its payload, two blue-painted bombs rolled into the firing rack. There was a pause as the plane came at high altitude behind enemy lines, before the first was dropped. Moments later, the second was dropped a few miles down. The AOE had been calculated so that the Alfegos troops would receive the least damage, while the artillery would suffer most followed by the armour on the frontline trenches.

Each bomb whistled down, built-in accelerometers and fins guiding it downwards onto the target. At an altitude of 1000m, the bomb cores detonated as banks of capacitors emptied massive charge into the Explosive Flux Compression Generator. The pulse was invisible, but below all unshielded microchips, transistors and even Valves would be destroyed within 2 miles. Within 5 miles, the microchips in computing systems would suffer irrepairable errors.

The tanks continued to roll on under heavy fire, towards the frontline treches where the ambush awaited them.
____________________________________________

The second card was one of last resort, poor accuracy, low stealth, potential collateral damage and of great power.

The Valhalla satellite network of currently 6 satellites were designed for kinetic munition warfare. Instead of using the famed "god rods" for taking out of enemies, they used a missile to propel a sphere of tungsten between 0.5 and 2 metres across at the earth, resulting in a massive crater in the target. With no final guidance system, they were inaccurate, but when they hit could cause serious damage.

Satellite Loki III had a projectile 1 metre across ready for launch. It's window of oppertunity came only every 90 minutes, and lasted for 15 mintues. But during that time it could flatten a small town.

It waited for news of a loss. Of a retreat followed by an order. Of an order followed by the thunderclap of the gods.

"Main room looks clear, sir." said a Guardsman by the rank of Private. "Send some teams up to make sure. I need both an S.T.F. team and a Guard team, as those S.T.F. guys have infrared capabilities." replied the Captain in charge of the situation. An S.T.F. Element (7 men) and two Guardsmen Elements went into the main room, which was littered with the fallen and unconscious. A fire team came to take the weapons as the larger team progressed. They headed upstairs to find a locked metal door. The infrared signals weren't reaching the S.T.F. Agents, and they knew why. They planted a C2 explosive on the door, not knowing what could be behind that door. An S.T.F. Agent prepared a phosphorus "Fire Nade", which, hopefully, would set anyone inside on fire. "Detonation in 5...4...3...2..."

*proceed to go on killing rampage of everything*

"You are ordered to get to the Eastern Perimeter, The Confederates are trying to circle us. Meet up with Friendly forces and fight from there!"

While the North wall was a burning smoldering men of charred bodies and burned vehicles, the eastern perimeter was just being born. The first T-90s and AJM3s were rolling into battle as the Artillery guns warmed up the field. Ironhearts from both sides were ferrying troops to build supply depots and kill zones. 250 miles back Alfegos and allied forces pushed further into the heartland of Mejico. With Lryas Missile defense it would be easier for the Allied aircraft to claim superiority. Which was slowly leaving the Independents with less options...

but they fought hard anyways.

"Alfegos Command this is Generalissimo Canarias, we are minimizing civilian and infrastructure casualties! Do not I repeat DO NOT fire kinetic munitions. The last thing we need is a crater in downtown who-gives-a-fuck for the independents to post all over international news!"


Meanwhile on the battlefield the EMP blast knocked out all electronic devices that the the Independents were using. While it did hinder the Independents ability to wage war it didn't cripple them too badly. Without proper targeting systems for the artillery they went back to WW2 era calculations, all by hand. Where the radios failed phone lines were being laid out and the independents quickly began putting back together their battlefield infrastructure.

However the front line is where it hurt the most. With all electronics on the T90s and AJM3s down they had to began aiming and loading manually. The backbone of the line soon became the infantry, who waited until the enemy was finally in range and unleashed RPG-29s and recoilless rifle rounds into the enemy tanks. The RPG soldiers were using sniper tactics; they would hide, jump out and fire, and them move. With the numerous trenched that Bulba ordered to be made. They could afford to do this.

Now if any tanks tried to roll over the trenched they had more suprises waiting for them.

"Pelican Sigma Four Five Seven, due to the nature of our civil war no armed aircraft are allowed to fly over Mokan Island that are not loyal to the government. It is too high price of a target. We can land your aircraft on another base, perhaps Miamius, or Cancun, but only allies and Loyalist are allowed over our sky. We do not want to cause an international incident, so it would be in the interest of both parties to comply with these instructions. Thank you"


"Sir, should we warm up the Patriots, or the test battery?"

"No don't paint them yet. Only if they don't comply, I want to avoid shooting these guys down at all cost."

The door exploded and the first RPG round flew out blinding through the smoke. The door crashed into one of the four remaining soldiers and made it three by crushing him between the door and a server. The captain fired his AK into the dust and ducted behind another computer server. The information was transfered to HQ, so they didn't need them anymore. His other man was on the roof with two satchel charges, he primed one and tossed it over the edge, aiming it to land on top one of those killdozers, another was tossed into a group of soldiers, hoping to land a few kills, then he began firing at any target of opportunity. he would of ran, but his foot was caught in a cable, so rather then looking stupid he decided to look brave, or stupid....

The tanks began to suffer as they suffered the front trenches. However, right behind them came the IFVs that disgorged their squads into the trenches, while the vehicles stayed at the surface firing off autocannons into the trenches.

Meanwhile, the artillery, now with co-ordinates from the frontline, began to lay down a saturation barrage, with hundreds of Longbow missiles showering area not occupied by troops with bomblets.

The lines were being pounded by artillery, shot at by tanks, and filled with enemy infantry. The Militia was not trained for this and the Mokan Soldiers from both sides were taking heavy looses. The Militia retreated back where it could and tried to disperse into the surrounding jungle. The tanks, still doing everything manually pulled back and tried to retreat to the artillery lines. 50 Miles back the 205mm Guns were firing where they could, with up to a 2 minute delay in request they were not being as effective as they could. SO 50 of them lowered their barrels and rolled towards the lines, Loading AT shells they were now big Tank killers. Not a very effective role for these guns, but its called desperation. They didn't doubt a high speed 205mm arrow would have to much difficulty killing a tank. The hard part would be aiming it and not getting shot.

"Listen we are in charge here and are calling the shots, no meteors are to fall on Mejican soil, not when we got half the world watching and waiting for a reason to join the independents. It has no tactical advantage, the only good targets for it are the stationary ones and those usually are things that we don't want the news to show being blown up, like cities. We are advancing on most all fronts, we have Yuri being flown back in from Greal who we believe can help some of the ex-confederate divisions realize how fucked they are and surrender. We are winning and therefore Me, Generalissimo Canarais, and Generalissimo Villa do not allow this. Do we understand eachother?"

"They're falling back into the jungles! Now lets get some fire on the..."

The major in command was cut off as a communication hub vehicle was hit by AT fire. The connection was re-established through another hub.

"..Damn, they're got their artillery now as AT weaponry! Get us some armour fire on them, and let the infantry get the armour."

The men swarmed through the trenches towards their targets, some leaping back into their vehicles that occasioanlly crossed just above their heads.
______________________________

"We understand your concerns as such generalissimo. We will not use orbital munitions. However, we request your help in a secret matter to be discussed in Cacun Alfegos military command. It is of the utmost urgency."

Bulba was watching as his line fell apart, with a new hole being formed and the artillery crippled and More Confederates pushing behind and protecting the flanks of the Alfegos spear nothing stood between the enemy and Mejico City.

Militia men and women tried to surrender to the enemy, they new it was over. Some still fought to the last man, it really depended on how badly the war destroyed their lives. They had the spirit to fight, but without anything supporting it. It was all pretty useless.

The Confederate Divisions advanced from the flanks and battled enemy reinforcements. It was rumored that the independent military was losing the will to fight for Emilio Sanchez, but it was only a rumor.

The AT artillery fired unto the advancing tanks and troops, sometimes alternating between napalm rounds and AT rounds. Without any support though they were mostly just holding off the enemy until the rest of the artillery could pull back and meet up with the rest of the Division east of Mejico City. Bulba's 8 Divisions were putting up the fight Sanchez wanted, but it wasn't enough. 14 Confederate Divsions were pushing deeper around his lines. Soon up to 20,000 men could be cut off. He had to order a theatre wide retreat.

"very well, Generalissimo Canarias will be flown to Cancun Military Command for this discussion. Expect him there in 5 hours."

Outside Nuevo Orleans

The Generalissimo Limo was pulled over, the driver and aide were tied up in the back with one of Durkin's men aiming his AM-07 rifle at them. Just in case. The aide still had the taste of gasoline in his mouth, part of him regretted telling that corporal to fill her up all the way. Outside stood Durkin with his JagD .45 pistol aimed at a now bloody and gas covered body of Serrano.

"Please, i only did it in the best intrest of Tierra Nu-"

"Bullshit, you had a power trip, last man to do that was my cousin 3 years ago. He tore Mokastana apart and brought us to the international scene, and you know what happened to him. Rumor has it he is alive in a MBSA bunker somewhere still being tortured. Consider this death merciful."

The last 20 minutes Durkin had beaten Serrano to a pulp, with help of his guard. The made his aide siphon out gas and dowse Serrano with it. Now Durkin was lighting a match was about to drop in into the trail of gas they made towards his body in the middle of the road. The fields were a bit dry, they didn't want to start a fire.

"Any last words amigo?"

"It would only of been a matter of time before you did the-"

"And i would of been a lot more careful"

he dropped the match and watched the flames race towards Serrano and listened to the screams as the man cooked to death.


"get on the radio, contact Villa, tell him our position. Notify Nuevo Orleans' prison warden that Serrano is dead and that Durkin ordered the release of President Jackson and then Contact Lyras and make sure they are off our beaches."

"yessir"

"Thankyou for making him available"

The line continued to waver, as troops were slowed by artillery and by suicidal militiamen. The artillery had left many tanks a waste, with only the
M1A4H Warhounds still advancing steadily intact. Within minutes, the artillery was shown up as priority for all infantry: as the tanks rumbled behind firing off rounds occasioanlly, the IFVs stormed ahead with autocannons chattering. The massive wave would hopefully take out the artillery before it could escape, while all the resistance behind them was mopped up by the confederates and the armour.

"Yes Major-general, the bombers are taking off just now."

The enemy grouping area had been spotted: it was now time to end them. 8 aircraft flew in an arrowhead towards the area. The front two were armed each with a pair of EMP devices, similar to the ones used on the front. This war was turning out to be very very expensive.

Once near the area, the bombs were readied, while the bombers behind prepared to drop their massive payloads of cluster munitions and a couple of cylinders of Yellow-stripe stun gas.

"Pelican Sigma Four Five Seven, due to the nature of our civil war no armed aircraft are allowed to fly over Mokan Island that are not loyal to the government. It is too high price of a target. We can land your aircraft on another base, perhaps Miamius, or Cancun, but only allies and Loyalist are allowed over our sky. We do not want to cause an international incident, so it would be in the interest of both parties to comply with these instructions. Thank you"

The second Guardsman was knocked to the ground after a fatal shot to the gas mask by the AK-47 fire. The S.T.F. Agent lobbed the Phosphorus grenade into the room, and the team quickly dove in and took cover behind several computer servers. Some Guardsmen were firing their MP7s blindly from behind cover. Some were aiming without exposing too much of themselves, and this included all of the Guardsmen with FSARS shotguns. The S.T.F. Agents were more courageous, and their gas masks were showing the outlines of the Bolivians, which were brought via calculations using the thermal energy as data, which ment that everything didn't look weird colored. This was not without occasional flaws, however, so sometimes the outlines would be terribly off. They jumped from behind the servers and aimed their military hardware at the outlines and began firing short, disciplined bursts.

The other satchel charge destroyed a Patrol Car and killed five men around it. Then the Apaches arrived. They quickly spotted the Bolivian on the roof, and one went to engage him. The pilot began firing the chaingun at the single infantryman, and the other helicopters leveled themselves with the top floor and began firing through the windows, careful not to aim towards the room's enterance.

The artillery was on the retreat, with as much of the Division as possible, Ironhearts, T90s and other vehicles were rolling back. When the Bombers showed up a local radar station they notified the retreating Division who then called in Fighters to take off from Mejico AF base, despite the AA missiles from the Lyras fleet, 12 MIG-29s took off to intercept. The Forces then prepared thier Ironheart SAMs to be ready to deal with the enemy force. In total escorting the Artillery was 45 SAM Launchers. Using their own radars they filled the sky searching for targets, 10 had radar on and were serving as main radar for the rest of the independent forces.

The Air traffic controller breathed a sigh of relief, with Air Marshall Jesus Manuel over him, he needed it.

"Pelican Sigma Four Five Seven, the Runways are clear for you to land. However since Mokastana does not employ Pelicans we will have to have you land in the flashing area. You will see it. Air Marshall Jesus Manuel will be there to greet you. Over and out."

The flashing area was a large patch of Asphault that was intended for Bear Bombers to taxi into their respective hangers. The Bears however were not due for a bombing run until the next morning, so the runway could be used for this effect. A more permanent location was being secured for later, if they planned to stay that long.

The RPG trooper dropped the rocket launcher and picked up his AK and fired...Soon enough 3 bullets, two in the chest and one in the face. The captain saw an apache out the window and hugged the ground as the rounds flew over him, he pulled out one grenade, held the handle an pulled out the pin.

On the rooftop the soldier fired his AK at the attacking apache...and was sliced apart by the cannon fire.

Back at Bolivian HQ they got the reports of the enemy numbers, and decided to stay hidden for now.

Dimitri was gasping for breath when he reached the commander. When a guard stopped him he announced his purpose. Capt. Kalinin has a message for Emilio Sanchez from the Czar Vladimir Klaus.



Commander I regret that we have not spoken directly however the political and military pressure has made such a thing impossible. Even so I urge even if Mejico falls, do not give up your struggle for independence. Should your forces be overwhelmed fall back to Puerto Vallarta and Baja.
We are preparing the 1st Airborne Legion(20,000) to be sent to that region (should you be defeated) as a peace keeping force. All you will have to do is propose a cease fire, while diplomats argue over details for a complete peace you will have a chance to regain your military strength and we will prepare to become more "directly involved with your struggle.

Rebbecca shielded a wounded independent soldier with her body as another artillery shell landed not more then a 40 yards away. Boris had been listioning to the radio for instructions.


Becky, we're evacuating this area. The field hospital is being relocated further from Mejico. We are to get the wounded out.



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


Private Sergei Novikov climbed into the BMP3m. He and his Marine regiment (5,000 soldiers) had orders to transport medical supplies and food to some village 47 miles inland, and then to dig in. Their official orders were to maintain order in the Province of Puerto Vallarta and to advise the independents should the confederates make a drive for the coast. Sergei and most of their platoon felt more as though they were being put on the front lines of what could become a very bloody battle.

LT.Nina Popova directed company of thirty students towards a field that was quickly being filled with tanks that had been removed from Nosovian combat forces 4 years ago, after being declared outdated. Now she was briefing her students on how to fight in them.

Public announcement from the Grand Czar to the people o Nosovia:


As many of you have read in newspapers and seen on television the conflict in Mokostana has spilled much innocent blood. I have decided with the consent of the Grand Assembly to prepare the 1st airborne Legion to be sent as a peace keeping force should the Confederates continue their genocide against the free people of the Mejico Revolution.

"You are ordered to get to the Eastern Perimeter, The Confederates are trying to circle us. Meet up with Friendly forces and fight from there!"

but they fought hard anyways.

Moving Up to the Eastern Perimeter, through heavy casualties they met up with the independents and charged the confedarates...

The bombers saw the incoming fighters, and dived to low altitude while sending out a blinding signal. They were soon over the grouping area.

"Deploying munitions now."

The bombs began to fall through the sky, a mix of black HE bombs, green gas canisters and amongst them a few blue-painted EMP bombs. Now they had the problem of getting back without being shot down.

The thunder of artillery in the distance was soon met by the pounding of the ground around them. The Confederates were saturating the enemy lines before they charged into combat against the eastern perimeter. The 205mm shells shook the ground as they exploded independent soldiers and militia.

To the west Independent artillery was warming up to fire, but without satellite or aircraft ID the targets they had to rely on spotters and radios.

Rebbecca had been making another run for bandages when she returned to one of the surgery tents. Was was nearly there when she heard the deafening blast of an artillery shell hitting the tent. Falling back all she could hear was a terrible ringing in her ears before she blacked out.


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

Capt. Kalinin looked into a tent that was now not only full of wounded independent soldiers but also an increasing number of Nosovian relief workers. He'd lost 19 so far with dozens more critically wounded, sometimes by being shot in Mejico city or sometimes by shrapnel from the artillery shells that still occasionally hit the MASH despite having been moved to the western out skirts. Even still he refused to stop sending medivac units into Mejico city. Even if it ment some of his people had to die he would not abandon those in the city that needed them the most.


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


Novikov stopped shoveling for a minute and looked around at the village, the crowd that had gathered around the BMP when they started handing out rations and antibiotics had since dissipated. Now his platoon was digging fox holes on the perimeter. Apparently the high command wanted a thin perimeter of marines around Puerto Vallarta. Thinking of what his wife would do if he didn't come back, he siad a silent prayer that the war would reach Puerto Vallarta. That he would be able to go home again.

The SAMs fired off at the aircraft before they could drop munitions the hope was to take them out before they took out any of them. Missiles filled the sky as MIG-29s flew into the mess and fired cannons and fired R-27s into the mist....

The ground damaged was done either way, and they would not no for sure how bad it was until later.

the plane landed and Generalissimo Canarias was escorted to the Alfegos Command Immediately.

"this is confederate command, we need help pushing towards Mejico City. Get to the lines ASAP, Alfegos is leading the charge"


The Marine Force began heading directly towards Mejico City, as the message from the Confederates asked. The HPACVs, which were sluggish and only for use in urban areas, were being transported on trucks while still being intact. The forces would soon be arriving at the lines.

"We would like to see this soon if you would be so kind"

"Don't worry, they'll be out in less then a hour."

Rithiarian Military HQ
"Sir, the weapons are almost prepped"

"Well then, activate them, you idiot!"

Soon lights flash on and off. The weapons are online.

"Sir, Project Kakaru is online"

"Good"

Then both men laugh, with a slightly evil tone.

To the north enemy troops were pushing down on the Confederates hard, and to the south the Indonesians had caught them with their pants down. They put in a request for evac from the death trap formerly known as Honduras and prayed the navy would stop being so damn annoying and rescue them.

"Yes!!" "WOO HOOO!!!" "Screw You, Mokas!!!"

Cries were cheered as the Mokastana troops seemed to be retreating. The Indonesian States' ships were harbored by Santa Villa, ready for any Navy Attack. Finally, the Indonesians gained a City. New orders awaited.

"Sir, Alfegos and GWO troops are heading here!"
"Crap, I hate those friggin GWO's"
"well, we gotta do somethin' about them, sir."
"Good thing another Division is coming, that makes it about 45,000 here, eh? (OOC: *hint, hint*)
"Yes, sir"
Well, we better fix up this place! get the AA's into shape, and keep the remaining Mokas artillery. Keep the very few POW's in the ships. The Medics can patch 'em up."

The bombers began their run on the enemy, but three were shot down before they could drop all their munitions. The others managed to drop all their munitions, including the EMP bombs, before they to were shot down as burning wrecks.

Below them, the area was turned into hell as clouds of gas mingled with masssive explosions and the invisible pulse of EMP.

"Yes!!" "WOO HOOO!!!" "Screw You, Mokas!!!"

The GWO Fleet moved close to Honduras shores, just close enough to be noticed. The Marines began arriving North of the Honduras battle. The force stopped for a reconnaisance check on the forces massed there. "There's shitloads of 'em, sir!" shouted the Sergeant in charge of the Recon Element sent. "Call for reinforcements from the nearest colonies. We need a full-scale force, and we need it sometime within the next few days." replied General Beltway, sitting within the command HPACV. In the North and South American colonies, another 15,000 Marines were boarding ships, along with 40,000 Army Infantrymen. They wouldn't be arriving that day, but they would be there in less than a week.
