Civil War in the Beatus

The Beatus
27-01-2008, 04:10
To the nations of the World,

There is a civil war on in the Beatus, and we ask you for support. We are the one, and only true government, under duly elected President Jim Lange (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13301807#post13301807), and backed by the constitution of the Republic of the Beatus (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=545204). We need your help to quell this rebellion. We hope you can provide support. Also, any aircraft, or ships flying/floating within 25 miles of Gitche Gumee National Park will be shot down/sunk, no warning, no questions asked. We are sorry, but that area is off limits, as it always has been, for the last 500 years.

Signed,
General Alfredo Bowman

Admiral Sigmund Kauffman

The Republic of the Beatus

A Plea for Help from the International Community

We request your support to free us from this secular government. We are the true government of the Beatus. The constitution is a sham. The Theocratic government instituted by His Holiness Edwardo Listless after the rebellion that eliminated King , is the one and only true government of the Beatus. These devils used our time of mourning for His Holiness, Edwardo Listless to fool the public and install they're sham of a government, which they did both illegally, and unethically. We beg for the religious nations of the world to support us in our crusade against this faithless demons that wish only to poison our children's minds with they're religious freedom, and tolerance.

Signed,
Arch Bishop,
Jorgan Rawlinson
The Theocracy of the Beatus

A Call to the international Community to Send Aide and Support us in our Noble Cause

I need your support. Over the past three years my people have had two government that were illegitimate and corrupt. The King is the one and only true government, of this nation, who's name should not even be the Beatus, as we should be the Kingdom of Plostos, but the time for that is gone, so now the I have decreased that this nation shall be called the Kingdom of the Beatus. If not for the insane revolutionary, Edwardo Listless, my people would still be living peacefully under my father, King Kleg Plostos. Unfortunately Edwardo Listless killed him, and as such, it has taken them much time to find me, as I regret to say, I let fear get the best of me, and hide, but I have returned, and I need your help to restore myself to the position that is rightfully mine by birth. We will accept anything you can offer.

Signed,
King Lethlos Plostos II
The Kingdom of the Beatus

To the Republic of The Beatus,

What have I missed. I am sorry my friends about this conflict. We cannot let this monsters destroy the well being of our allies, and killmy friend, Jim Lange. If the ban on wars wasn't made, I myself would be on those frontlines and help destroy those filthy rebels. No worries though, I will find a way.

To Lord Der'Khaine,

Thank you. No need to worry about Jim either, he is safely out of the nation, attending a world leadership conference. We shall welcome your support. We are fairly sure we have air and naval superiority. We could use assistance with land based combat though, as the enemy factions have around the same number of ground troops. Also, the Blessed Guard has dug itself in, in the mountains in the south western part of Glaður, west of Roka. They have extensive tunnel networks there. We are also being over powered in Straumur, as it is a stronghold for both the Rebelling Provinces, which have now shown they're allegiance to the son of our former King, and for the Religious extremists, who have apparently found a new leader in the absence of the Arch Prior. Our best intel shows that they have cut him off, and are no longer following him, as he was too extreme. Any assistance will be appreciated.

To President and Brigader John Batther,

Thank you. No need to worry about Jim either, he is safely out of the nation, attending a world leadership conference. You have missed allot, what started with riots ended with us breaking Jim out of a prison. We hope to see you on the front lines soon, if you can find a way! But really any assistance will be appreciated. Anything, not just military supplies, we have many refugees, and need necessities such as food, bottled water, medical supplies, toiletries, cots, clothing, blankets, toys (for the little ones), anything you have, as many have fled they're hopes to avoid bowing before the so called "King" or the Blessed Guard. We have people out here in tents in the dead of winter.

Our Stance,

We stand for a free and democratic government of the people. We also prefer a large military for the defense of our people, and a strong economy for the prosperity of our people. We are vehemently against nuclear weapons, and even power, after the disaster at Kruger Point. We are also for freedom of religion. These are our major stances, if you have any other questions that are issue specific, feel free to ask.

______________________


What We Stand for,

We stand for the main points of the Path of the Blessed, as laid out in the Book of the Blessed, and a government overseen by the church. Those being, worshiping the Great Bob. Not condoning murder, or theft. Supporting those less fortunate. Marriage being between a man and a woman. Life starting at conception. Arranged marriages, in which ever girl the age of three, is promised to a newborn boy, and a promise is made that they shall be married when the boy turns 15, and they are not to meet before that day. Sex being a sacred thing, that every boy must experience at the time of becoming a man, his 15th birthday, with his wife, who, as stated in the above section on marriage, shall have just married him, and be three years his elder. Men, being allowed to take up to four wives, after they have turned 21. Divorce being illegal. Women are not allowed to work. If a womans husband dies, she then marries his best friend, as stipulated in his will. All the basic principals of our religion. If you have another issue, we would be glad to give our stance upon it.

Signed,
Arch Bishop,
Jorgan Rawlinson
The Theocracy of the Beatus

______________________


On the Issues,

We stand for the restoration of the Monarchy. The reinstatement of the nobles, and the return of the surfs to they're fields. Full government ownership of all industries. A large, and glorious military. Removal of bans on genetic research. Return to a more peaceful society, as we once had under my father, through many reforms. The banning of the right to people to own property. The banning firearms for the public. Ensuring a job for every worker, which will remove the bums and riffraff from our streets. I will gladly give my stance on any other issues, all you need to do is ask.

OOC: Soviet Aissur there are 3 factions vying for control over Beatusian territory. The Kingdom of the Beatus, The Theocracy of the Beatus, and The Republic of the Beatus. Each one has its own different government style. You choose which one you wish to fight in support for. Read over the reasons each one gives in the initial post.

Aissur pledges it's support to The Beatus. We hope we can put our history behind and see to that the real government of The Beatus will survive. We can provide Soldiers, Helicopter Gunships, and tanks.

We welcome your forces, and thank your nation for the aide. We could use some assistance securing the island Province of Straumur, as there are high concentrations of forces representing the Kingdom, and Theocracy. We have 4 Battleship groups off the coast, which can provide shore bombardment. The enemy has little to no navy, other than small river patrol boats, which do not work well in the ocean, and have very little firepower anyway. Also please keep at least 25 mile away from Gitche Gumee National Park, in both your boats, and aircraft, as we would hate to have to shoot at those sending support to our nation. Thank you for your support.

Good, good. Be careful though, as that is very close to the Stoklomolvi border, and they're tunnels might cross that border. Also, they're tunnels are well stocked, and have many tunnel entrances hidden beneath schools, hospitals, and homes, which we would prefer to remain intact, foundations and all.

We thank you for your support. We also thank you for the food, which we desparately need, as the current situation means that food production is down, and what food is being produced is going to one faction or another, that coupled with the fact that deliveries to supermarkets are not getting through, the civilians desperately need food. Please ensure that none of your aircraft or ships come with in 25 miles of Gitche Gumee National Park, as it would be really sad if we had to destroy them. Again thank you.

As the official message was being sent to the recently acquainted Republic of Beatus, a group of the Crusaders special forces sang the Holy War (http://russmus.net/song.jsp?band=Narodnaya_muzyka_Sovetskaya_Muzyka_i_Gimny&album=1&song=3#eng) in Russian in a military base of the city of Petergradd, they believed that one day such song would precede their final battle against the fascist army of the coming Antichrist:

Arise huge country arise to the mortal fight
With the dark fascist force with the damned horde
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a national holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war

We shall repulse the suffocaters of all ardent ideas
Those tyrants, robbers, torturers of peoples
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The dark wings dare not fly over our native land
The enemy dare not trample her spacious fields

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The rotten fascist unclean
We will drive out with a bullet to the forehead
United with mankind we will hammer out a mighty coffin

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war

At the same time a message, written with English translations, was sent to the Republic of Beatus forces from the personal cabinet of President Boris Mikanovich. They used a 8192 bits encryption key for it:

(OOC: I'll be adding the Naval and Air units later. And I'll consult NSD later regarding these ships, though I believe they're more or less balanced and convincing for their goals. Most were based on Soviet designs. And Prazinia is an archipelago nation, that's the reason for its large Navy.)

To Feldmarschall Erwin von Ulm,

We welcome your forces, and thank your nation for the aide. We could use some assistance securing the island Province of Straumur, as there are high concentrations of forces representing the Kingdom, and Theocracy. We have 4 Battleship groups off the coast, which can provide shore bombardment. The enemy has little to no navy, other than small river patrol boats, which do not work well in the ocean, and have very little firepower anyway. Also please keep at least 25 mile away from Gitche Gumee National Park, in both your boats, and aircraft, as we would hate to have to shoot at those sending support to our nation. Thank you for your support.

To: General Alfredo Bowman

Jawohl, Kamaraden. I will start bombardment as soon as I arrive at the island. We are currently packing here in Mhoudia as I write, and will be coorinating with reinforcements from the mainland; all of this and the travel involved should take no more than a few days. I have two questions, however, if you could reply ASAP: Are there any airfields located in the vincinity and to which faction do they belong?

We thank you for your support. We also thank you for the food, which we desparately need, as the current situation means that food production is down, and what food is being produced is going to one faction or another, that coupled with the fact that deliveries to supermarkets are not getting through, the civilians desperately need food. Please ensure that none of your aircraft or ships come with in 25 miles of Gitche Gumee National Park, as it would be really sad if we had to destroy them. Again thank you.

As the official message was being sent to the recently acquainted Republic of Beatus, a group of the Crusaders special forces sang the Holy War (http://russmus.net/song.jsp?band=Narodnaya_muzyka_Sovetskaya_Muzyka_i_Gimny&album=1&song=3#eng) in Russian in a military base of the city of Petergradd, they believed that one day such song would precede their final battle against the fascist army of the coming Antichrist:

Arise huge country arise to the mortal fight
With the dark fascist force with the damned horde
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a national holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war

We shall repulse the suffocaters of all ardent ideas
Those tyrants, robbers, torturers of peoples
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The dark wings dare not fly over our native land
The enemy dare not trample her spacious fields

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
The rotten fascist unclean
We will drive out with a bullet to the forehead
United with mankind we will hammer out a mighty coffin

Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war
Let noble fury boil up in a wave
There is a people's holy war

At the same time a message, written with English translations, was sent to the Republic of Beatus forces from the personal cabinet of President Boris Mikanovich. They used a 8192 bits encryption key for it:

To President Boris Mikanovich,

Thank you for your aide. No we do not consider WP a chemical weapon, but as the fighting will be in densely populated areas, we would prefer if you left it at home, as we are always concerned for the lives of our people. The ambulances are also welcome, as the will be useful too. We hope your forces can arrive soon.

To Lord Der'Khaine,

Thank you. No need to worry about Jim either, he is safely out of the nation, attending a world leadership conference. We shall welcome your support. We are fairly sure we have air and naval superiority. We could use assistance with land based combat though, as the enemy factions have around the same number of ground troops. Also, the Blessed Guard has dug itself in, in the mountains in the south western part of Glaður, west of Roka. They have extensive tunnel networks there. We are also being over powered in Straumur, as it is a stronghold for both the Rebelling Provinces, which have now shown they're allegiance to the son of our former King, and for the Religious extremists, who have apparently found a new leader in the absence of the Arch Prior. Our best intel shows that they have cut him off, and are no longer following him, as he was too extreme. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you. No need to worry about Jim either, he is safely out of the nation, attending a world leadership conference. You have missed allot, what started with riots ended with us breaking Jim out of a prison. We hope to see you on the front lines soon, if you can find a way! But really any assistance will be appreciated. Anything, not just military supplies, we have many refugees, and need necessities such as food, bottled water, medical supplies, toiletries, cots, clothing, blankets, toys (for the little ones), anything you have, as many have fled they're hopes to avoid bowing before the so called "King" or the Blessed Guard. We have people out here in tents in the dead of winter.

To President and Brigader John Batther,

Thank you. What would the men think if we left? No, we must stay here, and keep the men's spirits up. Show them that we are right here next to them, that if anyone fails we shall die with them. That we shan't abandon them. Also, Gitche Gumee National Park has been slated to be closed off from all, but a select few military scientists, who don't venture in often, at all. The military has kept outsiders away for nearly 500 years. We are securing a piece of our history in a way. We do not wish to disturb the natives life, but to observe it. We do not know what the sudden infuse of the modern world into these preliterate tribes will do, and we feel that they deserve to be save, from all this. Do you know that in nearly 500 years, we have not seen one war between the tribes there, barely even a skirmish. No, we will not let the world come in there, and ruin they're lives. We are rambling, but we hope you understand. When the meeting ends, we will arrange for Jim's protection, somewhere, and you will be high on our list of possible locations. Of course, we will be moving him often, and with out warning.

The Beatus in Turmoil

Dateline, the Beatus
The Republic of the Beatus is in what is now being called a civil war. What started a few days ago with what was originally reported as an attack on the Edwardo Listless executive office building, and the murder of two news anchors, has now erupted into a civil war. Apparently it was truly an attack on the Edwardo Listless Executive office building, but not by an enemy, but by the Blessed Guard, the elite special forces of the Path of the Blessed. Also, reports state that the military knew of this from the begining, and said nothing, allowing hundreds to be murdered by the Blessed Guard for being media, or not "faithful" enough. Then four provincial governments, tired of the military doing nothing, banded behind the heir to the throne, King Lethlos Plostos II, and struck back against the Blessed Guard. Now fighting has erupted between all three of the factions. Also we are receiving word that Jim Lange has been rescued, as he was apparently being held captive by the Blessed Guard since the begining. The King claims it was his forces that liberated Jim Lange, who we now know to have fled the nation to save himself, abandoning his people. We are also being told the military is conducting night time air strikes on hospitals, schools, and church's in Royalist, and Blessed Guard territory. Reports from both sides have the casualty numbering into the thousands for these attacks. There are also rumors of atrocities, at the many so called "refugee camps" that some noted Royalists have speculated look more like concentration camps, than refugee camps. We for one are glad we are safe here, within Royalist territory, bringing you the news, 100% uncensored or corrupted by the evil democratic government that for so long has kept the people of this nation down. Thank Bob that King Lethlos Plostos II is here to save us from these evil monsters. Just look at these photos from the so called "refugee" camps that are so clearly concentration camps.

Federation of Visayan Peoples Embassy, 800 Halverston Street, City of the Blessed

Ambassador Macaraig was nervously awaiting the call from the capital. He had e-mailed his report just before the fighting between the Royalists and Republicans knocked out the internet connection. He hoped the phone lines won't become the next casualty before he could talk to his superior. The ringing phone elicited a relieved sigh from the diplomat.

"Yes?"

"This is Chairman Salazar. How are things there, ambassador?"

"Besides the shells blowing up now and then, quit peaceful Mr. Chairman."

Sarcasm, he would have fired him a long time ago because of that. "Anyway, you have done the Federation a great service by sending your report and assessment on the situation in Beatus. This has provided us with invaluable information we will use in the course of action we shall take."

"Thank you, sir. May I ask what course that would be?"

"Was there ever a doubt? We side with the Republicans. The government of President Lange is our ally and we will not desert them now. Especially not for deranged monarchists and clericalists."

"So, we are sending troops?"

"Once we are able t-"

The last word would not be completed as the line just went dead. Macaraig swore under his breath. But at least was able to know what he wanted to. His security chief had been listening to the conversation.

"What now, sir?"

"We'll have to very discreetly move all our staff to Republican-controlled territory before we issue any statement of support." For the moment, all sides had respected the embassy's neutral status in the conflict and Macaraig wanted to take advantage of that. Once the Federation got involved, 25 Embassy Protection Service Agents armed with sidearms and carbines won't be enough to protect him and his staff.

My country, as a loyal ally of the Republic, pledges you its full support. Unfortunately, I am unable to inform you on any coming aid as I have been cut off from my government by the fighting. But I can assure that it is not a question of whether it will arrive but when. However, i have more pressing matters of immediate concern. Me and my staff are trapped in the embassy, caught in the middle of Royalist and Republican forces. We request assistance for evacuating to Republican territory.

From: Ambassador Macaraig of the Federation of Visayan Peoples

My country, as a loyal ally of the Republic, pledges you its full support. Unfortunately, I am unable to inform you on any coming aid as I have been cut off from my government by the fighting. But I can assure that it is not a question of whether it will arrive but when. However, i have more pressing matters of immediate concern. Me and my staff are trapped in the embassy, caught in the middle of Royalist and Republican forces. We request assistance for evacuating to Republican territory.

To Ambassador Macaraig of the Federation of Visayan Peoples,

That is good news, however your embassy's position is currently located behind enemy lines, and they have the city well defended. It may be days before we are able to reach you. We are gravely sorry, but they are holding on to the capital tightly, and the embassy district is nearly in the center of the city. If there was anyway we could get forces to you, and get them our, with any hope of survival we would do it in a heartbeat, but there isn't. Were are sure that everything will be fine though. Our intel tells us they are setting up communications jamming equipment in the city, there may not be further communications, but don't worry, we will be there as soon as we can, a week at the latest.

Operation: Dawn Hammer

0600, Northern Beatus Coast

The LCVP "Higgins Boats" rode the waves toward the beach like a cowboy on a bull in the rodeo. Each LCVP carried a platoon of Marines, carrying in total eight thousand Marines toward Orion Beach. The Blackhawk helcicopters chopped the air with their rotors, carrying another two thousand Marines behind the lines to sabotage any enemy defenses.

0604, Orion Beach

The ramps went down and the Marines quickly took up overwatch positions around the immediate disembarkation area, providing cover for their comrades. The beach was unfortified, as most of the Royalist troops were fighting the Republicans around the Capital City itself. Therefore, the Marines were able to land without any opposition, apart from the communications station just inside the forest bordering the beach.

0610, One-Half Mile Inland

The Blackhawks touched down in a forest clearing, and the Marines aboard quickly jumped out, securing the perimeter of the immediate area.

"Squads, form up," shouted the colonel in command.

The ten-man squads gathered around their gunnery sergeant and then proceeded deeper into the forest. Their objective was to secure the roads in the immediate area to allow for the armored forces easier passage.

0616, Orion Beach

Colonel Frederick Graham, after the area had been fully pacified, got on a radio connecting to the IAC Majesty floating offshore. Graham was a well-built man, with short-cut, "GI"-style black hair. With a pair of scars on the left side of his face, he sure as hell looked like a soldier.

"Mike Six-Eight, this is Bravo Fower-Niner. I send Badger (Objective Taken). I say again, Badger."

"Roger that Fower-Niner. I send Cobra Hedgehog (Reinforcement; Are En Route)."

The IBS Abyss then recieved new orders from the General to sail west, along the west coast of the penninsula, to bring her 16-inch guns in range o the frontlines. This fight wasn't near over yet.

Thank you. What would the men think if we left? No, we must stay here, and keep the men's spirits up. Show them that we are right here next to them, that if anyone fails we shall die with them. That we shan't abandon them. Also, Gitche Gumee National Park has been slated to be closed off from all, but a select few military scientists, who don't venture in often, at all. The military has kept outsiders away for nearly 500 years. We are securing a piece of our history in a way. We do not wish to disturb the natives life, but to observe it. We do not know what the sudden infuse of the modern world into these preliterate tribes will do, and we feel that they deserve to be save, from all this. Do you know that in nearly 500 years, we have not seen one war between the tribes there, barely even a skirmish. No, we will not let the world come in there, and ruin they're lives. We are rambling, but we hope you understand. When the meeting ends, we will arrange for Jim's protection, somewhere, and you will be high on our list of possible locations. Of course, we will be moving him often, and with out warning.

Beatus Command, this is General Redmond of the Durian 8th MEU. We have landed on the northern tip of the penninsula, approximately (insert # of miles here) from the Capital City. We have ten thousand Marines on land with eight thousand more currently en route. My Marines need detailed intel on any threats between our position and the Capital, as well as enemy defenses and troops at the Capital itself. Additionally, the IBS Harbinger is currently making its way along the western coast of the penninsula, and will be in range of the Capital within the hour. We need your frontline troops to call in coordinates for fire support. However, these coordinates must be relayed directly to our ground forces commander, Colonel Frederick Graham, due to differences in radio frequencies.

1300, 25 Miles North of the Capital

Fox Company edged its way south along the dirt road, crouching down below the top of a short hedgerow. The Durian Marines had encountered little resistance along the way south, again because the frontline positions were around the Capital and not to the North. There were now 800,000 Durian Marines moving along a broad front southerly. 300,000 more awaited in reserve at the CP at Orion Beach, capable of transporting to the front quickly with newly-landed Humvee Armored Jeeps. 1,800 of the M9 Predator LTs had landed as well, provided heavy ground support for the ground troops. Soon enough, the real assault would begin.

1302, IBS Harbinger, 2 miles off the western coast of the Capital City Penninsula

Captain Floyd Harrison of the IBS Harbinger stood on the bridge, hands clasped behind his back in a typical "authority posture."

"Sir," said the RIO, "we are in range of the frontlines near the Capital and are ready and able to fire."

"Relay the 'Ready' signal to Colonel Graham. We need coordinates from the Beatusian frontline troops."

"Yes, sir."

"General Redmond, we are within helicopter attack range of the Capital. Are we to attack yet?" Colonel Walter Freeman asked.

"Not yet. Wait for the opening barrage and the ground troops to get in range," Redmond replied. "I need a channel to the Beatusian commander on the ground, stat! We need to coordinate this move as quickly and efficiently as possible."

The Feldmarschall Erwin von Ulm called for his adjuntant, "I have three orders for you, they are of utmost importance, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good", he replied, "First, I need you to go to the gunners, tell them to prepare bombardment for 0800 hours, and to stop bombarding the northeastern end at 0845 hours, unless otherwise told."

"Second, tell the landing craft and transport ships to get ready, if things go as planned, they are to land at 0845 hours, when the bombardment of the landing area has stopped. Tell them to be alert as we will still be bombing the rest of the island during the attack.

"Finally, get the Republican Military online, tell we have arrived and plan engagement ASAP. Also get any allied nations in the area and tell them our plans, as to avoid friendly fire. Got all that?"

"Yes, sir!" The adjuntant turned with a click of his heels, and ran off. Erwin sat back down, deep in thought about the upcoming battle. He decided to phone his wife, and have a small chat before finally going down to the mess hall to eat breakfast with his men.

We regret to inform our friend, The Republic of The Beatus, we will be unable to provide the before promised ground forces. However with your permission and the permission of the international community we would like to authorize the use of our missile armed satellite, Heavens Hammer, in the war with the opposing faction of rebels occupying your country.

The satellite would provide air-to-ground missile support on heavily fortified enemy positions. The satellite has been tested and is extremely effective in taking out targets of all kinds. Also the use of such a weapon should serve to demoralize your enemies.

We would provide the satellite's support under the agreement that whatever nation requests its activation pay for replacement missiles for when we send up a spaceship to rearm it. However this agreement is negotiable.

Since we have a province bordering the nation, the first troops can be expected to arrive in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile, we shall take care of the Blessed Guard Border Guards.


In the Tungsten Province, which borders The Beatus, each of the GWO border guards adjacent to The Beatus began listening to their radioes. Suddenly they began opening fire on the Blessed Guard Border Guards. In the Provincial Capital, hundreds of Divine Tiger Heavy Battle Tanks began mobilizing, heading for The Beatus to assist the Republic. Foot soldiers were riding on any vehicle headed there, crowding on tanks, riding in personnel carriers, et cetera. The amount of vehicles was clogging the roads, where a few civilian vehicles attempted to navigate through the covoys. Confetti flew from windows, showing the Citizenry's support for the military. These troops would be the first ones to The Beatus, but Non Provincial Federal Military Units would be arriving via sea, and some by the same neighboring province.

As a set of mostly strict vegetarian nations, we cannot send you any meat produce. If, in our effort to support your people, any of the ex-whaling boats are intercepted and hostile military-grade action taken against them by aggressive parties, we shall retaliate.

We agree with your stands on prosperity and nucular weapons. For a nation, power and security can only be held with the almighty dollar, for that is what funds the military and provides protection for the populace at large. The freedome to choose for the person on what is thiers and what is not is in the upmost importance, to any group.

However, in wartime and through support, major bonds and diplomatic relationships can be forged. At this time our empire is unable to spare troops or weapons because of our relative size and populance, however we can provide economic assistance. We see this as a act of goodwill and friendship, as well as an investment.

We will be watching your situation with much interest and hope that fate lends a way that we can offer more assistance.

From: The Grand World Order Office of Foreign Affairs

We congratulate you on retreiving Jim Lange. The current situation has come to our attention, and having generally good relations with The Beatus, we will deploy troops to assist in your fight. Since we have a province bordering the nation, the first troops can be expected to arrive in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile, we shall take care of the Blessed Guard Border Guards.

Encrypted Transmission

To all nations supporting the Republican Forces,

We would first like to make a statement. Heavy artillery, naval bombardment, and missile, and air strikes are not to be conducted, unless advised so by Republican Forces, as they can only be used on enemy bases, or camps. In many cases the enemy is using civilians for cover, and we are not risking that many civilians lives. We will provide you intel with zones that have been designated free fire, and, when we locate an enemy target that we deem worth the risk of civilian life, we will furnish you with the targets info and location.

Now on to the second subject of this message. Embedded with this message is the vital information on our, and known enemy locations in areas that are currently hot zones. They should provide you any information you need.

We regret to inform our friend, The Republic of The Beatus, we will be unable to provide the before promised ground forces. However with your permission and the permission of the international community we would like to authorize the use of our missile armed satellite, Heavens Hammer, in the war with the opposing faction of rebels occupying your country.

The satellite would provide air-to-ground missile support on heavily fortified enemy positions. The satellite has been tested and is extremely effective in taking out targets of all kinds. Also the use of such a weapon should serve to demoralize your enemies.

We would provide the satellite's support under the agreement that whatever nation requests its activation pay for replacement missiles for when we send up a spaceship to rearm it. However this agreement is negotiable.

Sincerely,
Lord Der'Khaine

To Lord Der'Khaine,

We thank you for your offer of use of your space-based missile system, but due to the risk of civilian losses, we must decline. We do not wish to offend you in anyway, and hope you understand our position. Again, thank you.

Aboard one of the Golugani carriers...

Warlord Aust Urksin had already transmitted the retrofit orders to the other carriers that would be launching the first wave, targetting the beachhead west of Straumur so as to cut off retreat when the other allies attack. The soldiers were at attention, although somewhat demoralized when they found out budget cuts meant this would be their last campaign.

"Alright, soldiers, here's the situation. The hostiles are using bystanders as meatshields, so we're going in hero mode. Rubber bullets, smoke grenades, and orc swords. We're taking the heavy guns off the Violators, they'll be dead weight given our options. They'll still have the small turrets, and the Intruders will still be full up. Any questions?"

One of the cadets spoke up. He was one of the half-elf fullbloods, and he carried an elven blade as his default. "Why we going manual to orc swords, sir?"

Aust grinned, revealing the fangs granted by what orc blood he had. "Isn't it obvious, cadet? You'll need the backspike to bust their kevlar when you clear the smoke and go for glory."

This brought a cheer from the soldiers. They always favored opportunities for close combat in a world where warfare prevented it so often, and the Warlord turned as they started swapping out grenades and clips. They'd need the boost in morale.

The 1st Crusade Fleet, a large naval force composed by five amphibious assault ships loaded with fireteams of the crusader corps, soldiers and armored vehicles, five cruiser-carriers, a supercarrier, thirty-five cruisers, twenty destroyers, forty frigates and thirty-five submarines escorted an assortment of personell and cargo transport ships loading several military supplies and more than fourteen thousands of military personell, including combat engineers, medics and logistics, besides thousands of armored vehicles.

To President Boris Mikanovich,

On your questions on naval forces, and fortifications, the Royalists forces only have small river boats, who's firepower is ineffective against larger vessels, and are generally not safe on the open ocean. As for the fortifications, there aren't many in this area, other than in the city itself, where roadblocks have been noted. Other than that, they're mainly occupying civilian buildings. Terrain in the area around the City of the Blessed is generally flat and open.

Please reply ASAP.

That is correct. we are approaching from the same direction. our ETA to Straumur is 3 hours but we can shorten the trip by increasing our cruise speed. We just might be able to make it in time. all we need is a rendezvous location.


To Ambassador Macaraig of the Federation of Visayan Peoples,

Your people are in no harm. Every thing is perfectly fine. Why right now we are beating back those pro-democracy scum. You need not worry about the getting you. For your own safety, we must order you to stay within your compound, so as to ensure you do not wonder to close to the front lines.

To Ambassador Macaraig of the Federation of Visayan Peoples,

If you can make it to our lines, we can ensure your safety from there. We cannot however get to you in the city, as it is very dangerous. The enemy, both of them, have booby traps in the streets, and have men with heavy weapons stationed in windows, in schools, churches, and hospitals. They often use civilians as shields, and as to bait us into they're traps. The situation is just too dangerous.

As the smoke from the Durian bombardment and air strikes cleared, a motley convoy of armored SUVs, trucks and other vehicles all flying the Visayan flag made its way through the ruins of the Beatusian capital. traversing through the roadblocks was not a problem as the lead vehicle merely flashed a pass bearing General Newton's signature and the sentries let them through with no further questions.

It took only a few hours to leave the city and a few more to cross the Royalist front lines, which was uneventful as the convoy took advantage of a brief lull in the battle to pass through. at the first republican roadblock, Ambassador Macaraig stepped out of his car. "I am the Ambassador of the Federation of Visayan Peoples, may I speak with your commander?"

0827, City of the Blessed

One Hundred Durian Blackhawk helicopters, carrying two thousand Marines, buzzed over the City of the Blessed like a nation-sized swarm of killer bees. Sergeants briefed their chalks as they moved in over the drop zones.

"The opening bombardment destroyed many surrounding civilian structures, so you should not have any problems with Royalists in buildings! Once you drop, Chalks One and Four will breach and clear the TV Station! The rest of the Chalks will take up Blocking and Overwatch Positions on the nearby roads. Once the Station is cleared, Division HQ will set up and we will slowly secure our sector of the city! Clear?!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"Lock and load! Who are we?" The chopper breaks into song:

"We've got our shiny weapons, we've got our fancy gear!
But all we need is our name to instill the Huns with fear!
We'll ride in for our allies, We'll kick in their front door
Who the hell are we? - the Allied States Marine Corps!"

0830, The City of the Blessed

The choppers slowed to a stop, their miniguns tracking anyone in the street and dropping any with a weapon. "Ropes, ropes, ropes!" sergeants shouted. The long nylon ropes dropped to the ground like uncoiling snakes. Marines slid down the ropes, dashing to the nearest available cover upon hitting the ground. Weapons began firing immediately as Royalists dashed into the streets, realizing what was happening.

"This is Whiskey Eight-Niner, Chalk One is on the ground."
"Whiskey Two-Six here, Chalk Eight down."
"Chalk Four is off, Whiskey Six-One pulling off."

"Whiskey Wing, this is Charlie Eight-Eight. I send Groundhog (RTB) once chalks are on the ground."

"Whiskey Tree-Eight, here! We've got a problem!"

Chalk Twelve was descending their ropes when Whiskey Tree-Eight was hit by a Stinger Missile. The missile blew off the tail rotor, causing the chopper to spin violently. The men still on the ropes struggled to keep their grip.

"Drop! Drop! Come one! Drop!" men on the ground shouted. Two did, but two more were still hanging on, frozen with fear.

"Shit! Brace!" The pilot shouted over the radio. Whiskey Tree-Eight crashed into the standing stone wall of a wrecked building, stopping its spin, and then fell down to earth in the middle of the street.

"Shit! Chalk Twelve, take up positions around the chopper!" the sergeant ordered. The remaining men of Chalk Twelve took up positions inside the wrecked chopper and ruined buildings nearby, bracing for the inevitable Royalist assault.

0838, City of the Blessed, TV Station

“This is November Fower-Seven, I send Grizzly (Breaching) Objective Whiskey at the main entrance to the south, over,” Sergeant Randall Welsh said over the radio.

“Roger that, Four-Seven. Proceed as planned.”

“This is November Wun-Fife. I send Grizzly Objective Whiskey at the northwest entrance, over,” Sergeant Frank Piper whispered into his comm.

“Wun-Fife, this is Charlie Eight-Eight. Be advised that November Fower-Seven has sent Grizzly at the opposite side, over.”

“Roger that, Eight-Eight.” Piper responded. “Alright, Fowler, set the charge!” Private Leonard Fowler wrapped the small breaching charge around the door handle. “Hit it.”

The charge exploded in a brief bang, ripping the door off its hinges. “Breaching, breaching!” two men shouted, entering the door and covering the corners with their rifles. “Clear! In, in, in!” The rest of the chalk filed into the room.

“Alright, let’s clear this place out! Simmons, Petrov, Randleman, clear the rooms in this hall! Franks, Greer, Cole, you’re with me! We’re heading upstairs and clearing those rooms. The rest of you, move to the Main Studio and clear it out! Go!” Sergeant Piper said. The men formed into their groups and headed towards their objectives.

Corporal Simmons carefully opened the door to the hallway, his rifle at the ready. “Clear,” he whispered. “Stack up for a door breach,” he said, sliding against the wall next to the next door. “Ready?” The men nodded. “Breaching, breaching!” he shouted, slamming his weapon into the door in the door. “Flashbang, out!” Randleman shouted, tossing in a grenade. “In, in, in!” The men filed in, shooting the two Royalists who had been lounging in the room. “That’s one way to give an eviction notice,” Simmons chuckled.

Upstairs, Piper and his men cleared out several offices of Royalists. Lining up at another door, Piper could hear voices inside. “Alright, Cole, set the charge. Franks, toss in a flashbang. Greer, you and me go in after the flashbang goes off and cover the far corners.”

“Roger that, sir." Cole wrapped another charge around the handle. “Ready?” Piper nodded. “Clear!” The charge exploded, and the door burst open. “Flashbang, out!” Franks yelled, tossing in the grenade. After the shrill bang, Greer and Piper dashed in, gunning down three soldiers in the corners. Piper turned his rifle to the last two. “Hold!” he shouted, raising his hand. One of the Royalists had grabbed a civilian employee, using him as a human shield. The four Marines trained their weapons on him, but the last soldier had taken the opportunity to find some cover behind a desk. “Should we shoot, sir?” Cole asked.

“No, hold fire! No civilian casualties!” Piper looked the man over, and then stared into his eyes. Apparently, the man was growing uncomfortable and intimidated, loosening his grip on the hostage. Suddenly, the second soldier popped out from behind the desk, spraying Franks with his assault rifle. The man was immediately cut down by Greer and Cole, but Franks was hit in the chest three times, and was instantly killed. The other Royalist threw the hostage into Piper and fled the room through another door.

Piper immediately pursued, kicking in the door. The room held two other Royalists and several civilians – a large office. “Everybody down!” Piper shouted waving his hand. Most of the civilians dropped – but not the Royalists. One was killed before he knew what was happening, but the other flipped over a desk and began blind firing. Piper sprayed the desk with bullets, which was easily penetrated, killing the man. The third Royalist had jumped down to a lower level from an indoor balcony nearby.

Meanwhile, the third group, led by Sergeant Nathan Harrison, quickly made its way down the hallways and into the large TV Studio. Several dozen Royalists quickly dashed into the room from adjacent offices and took cover behind the desk pools. An intense firefight broke out inside the Studio, with the Marines darting between desks to cut down the Royalists, although two Marines were killed and another wounded. Once the room was clear, they radioed Gunnery Sergeant Piper the ‘All Clear’ signal.

“This is November Wun-Fife, we have cleared our sector of the target building, over.”

“Roger that, Wun-Fife. Fower-Seven reports the same. Out.” General Redmond paused, looking over the satellite Intel. “All units, this is Charlie Eight-Eight. I send Eagle (Attack). I say again, Eagle. All units proceed to their delegated Objectives. Charlie Eight-Eight out.”

"Let's see some id," said the soldier, pointing his M14 at the man's face. The other troops encircled the convoy, weapons drawn and trained on the vehicles. "Also, if everyone else could get out please."

His security cheif was ready to blast the soldier's head for pointing that M14 at his principal but Macaraig restrained him. There was no sense in engaging in a firefight with the "good" Beatusians. The irony that the troops they would be fighting with showed them more mistrust than the troops they would later be fighting against did not escape him.

"No need to point your gun at me, soldier." He replied calmly.

At a gesture from the ambassador, the Visayan embassy staff and their bodyguards stepped out of their vehicles. The diplomatic personnel had their hands up to show they were unarmed. He presented his diplomatic credentials, the same documents he had presented to President Lange on his arrival in Beatus and an enclosed memo from Lange approving the embassy application and the incoming ambassador.

"Would these be enough?"

The Judgment Class Supercarrier was the flagship of the 1st Crusader expeditionary force. A large fleet of 5 Crusader Class Cruiser-Carriers, 15 Petergrad Class Battlecruisers, 20 modernized Slava Class Cruisers, 20 First Seal Class anti-submarine warfare Destroyers, 40 Étienne Cabet Class Stealth Frigates, 25 Astute Class Fleet SSNs and 10 Vanguard Class Ballistic SSN armed with conventional BrahMos 2 cruise missiles, escorting dozens of military transport ships and a few, but massive cargo ships (http://bp3.blogger.com/_yNGGJ9Fz26I/RrynKAMlt3I/AAAAAAAABLE/NiMMevMzyg4/s1600/Worlds-Largest-Cargo-Ship-6), with behind them a group of five Thomas Müntzer Class amphibious transport docks with the helicopter bays of three of them filled with 1 Kamov Ka-29TB transport helicopter and one Kamov Ka-27PL (http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/imgs/ka27.jpg) anti-submarine helicopter each, while the other two carried two Mil Mi-28N attack helicopters and two Kamov Ka-31 (http://www.acig.org/artman/uploads/ka-31-deploy.jpg) Surveillance and Airborne Early Warning helicopters. While the helicopter bays of the other military vessels and of the the superfreighters carried the other 75 helicopters that were on their due on that travel. The six carriers had together a total, regarding aircrafts, of 24 Sukhoi Su-30MK3 fighters (http://www.knaapo.ru/media/rus/about/production/military/Su30MK_s.jpg) armed with anti-ship missiles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-59), 60 Yakovlev Yak-141 VTOL fighters (http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/types/russia/yakovlev/yak-41/yak41-2.jpg), 30 Sukhoi Su-37 Berkut air superiority fighters (http://www.flymig.com/maks_2003/images/su-37.cobra.jpg), 5 Sukhoi Su-34 Fighter-Bombers (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/images/f-15_mk-84jdam_020507_09.jpg), 10 Sukhoi Su-25 Close Air Support aircrafts (http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/AirShows/Maks2005/Highlights/TwoSu25Frogfoots.jpg), 5 Mikoyan MiG-31M (http://www.defencetalk.com/pictures/data/3258/MiG-31M%20Foxhound%20fully%20armed.jpg) Interceptors and 10 Sukhoi PAKFA multi-role fighters (http://www.janes.com/images/news/p1169017.jpg). And also several small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were aboard the superfreighters. The amphibious transport docks carried a total of 6 T-95 MBTs, 12 Merkava Mark-IVs, 12 BMP-Ts and 8 Merkava Tankbulances, besides a total of 1525 amphibious warfare specialized military personell between the pilots of those armored fighting vehicles, 50 fireteams of Crusaders and several infantry forces, logistics personell, medics, while others were behind in conventional transport ships. This force was about to reach its destination, the beachhead signaled in the planning of the Campaign, as admiral Sirkov, the grey-haired, blue eyed middle-aged man that commanded the supercarrier observed the readings of the sonar and radar together with a group of navigators in its bridge. A black flag with an white cross was visible on its mast. His uniform, like that of his comrades, was entirely white and he wore a white captain cap with a black circle on its bottom. There was a small black flag of Prazinia stamped on his uniform left shoulder while its white shoulder had a symbol of a cross formed by seven bisected stars with seven points each, the left half of those stars was white black the right half of them was white with each color separated by a diagonal. It was the indication of his prestigious elective rank on the Navy as an admiral and leader of an entire fleet.

"We will arrive at the landing point in six hours, admiral Sirkov", the navigator announced, logically in Russian, as he took a quick glance on his wristwatch, he was an average Russian with black liss hair and brown eyes who seemed a bit tired from the travel, although after they landed they would have some good time to rest as it wasn't expected that they would need to move elsewhere during the campaign, although anything could happen by then. There were several latest generation computers inside the ship, whereas the radar information was being interpreted by a computer software dedicated to such function, although for now all they gave as an output was that there was nothing ahead of them besides the frigates, destroyers and cruisers spearheading the fleet.

The admiral seemed a bit bored, as it was common that most of the actual action was seen by those who were in destroyers, cruisers, frigates, airplanes and on the ground rather than himself, but on the other hand his chances of returning back alive were, for now, practically 100%. His daughter had a son with her husband and he was not going to die: he wanted to see her again, and to see his grandson. Soon as he was informed on the remaining time for them to arrive to their destination he looked at the navigator who informed him and replied:

"Acknowledged, navigator Rostov, I shall contact the other fleet to make sure we have some of our Airborne Early Warning Ka-31s ready once we are about 2 hours to reach our destination, it is never a bad idea to double check the safety of our landing zone beforehand.", he said as he putted a headphone which was linked to one of the computers of the Bridge and announced through it.

"Attention crew of Amphibious Dock Tolstoy! Are you ready for the launch of your two Kamov Ka-31? After four hours from now they shall be deployed to recon the landing beachhead before our arrival, after the AWACS have passed nearby from the airlift route to our southwest, before they land on the allied base to the east."

"Here is captain Tusonov of the Tolstoy! Our helicopters are ready for flight at any time, we shall comply with your request and send our pilots to a recon mission on the beachhead we are to reach and its surrounding coast."
"Understood captain Tusonov, Sirkov out"

12:15, about 104 kilometers from beachhead

"Microwave Popcorn is good, but it get olds", Cadet Pyotr Arseni commented to his comrade Mikhail Arseni. Both had dark brown hair and amber eyes. In fact they were identical in appearance and even followed the same career as twin brothers and ended up, by a stroke of coincidence, in the same seaborne air division. They were both 25 years old.

"Yes, yes... you are not starving, are you?", Mikhail replied with a shrug as they headed through the deck of the amphibious dock towards the helicopter bay. They were drastically different in personality. While Pyotr was extroverted and tended to tell the occasional joke to the rest of the crew, Mikhail was much more serious, cynical and introspective, focused only on the reality of the situation, which explained how he coldly replied to such a factual useless notice of his brother.

"Hey Mikhail, what's the matter with a simple question?", he asked him as they were close to their two-seated helicopter where four logistics workers were getting everything ready for them to depart.

As he opened the door of the helicopter, taking advantage of a small mobile staircase which was already placed there for them to climb it, Mikhail took his back on the two tandem seats of the helicopter. Another team of two pilots was also boarding the other helicopter. Mikhail replied in a serious tone:

"We have a mission to do, this is not a playground, this is a war Piotr!"

"I see, if you want to take it this way what can I do? So let's head out", he said as the doors of the helicopter were closed and they positioned. Mikhail was the co-pilot and operator of the surface surveillance and Airborne Early Warning systems while Pyotr was the pilot. They were designated to patrol the territorial coastline while the other helicopter would scout the territorial waters near the coast

"Here is Captain Tusonov, the weather is clear so far, so this is going to be a relatively easy mission provided you do not get too close of whatever you detect on your way. And if anything there is a threat to yourselves, retreat immediately as your Ka-31s (http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/vvs/ka31-01.htm), are not intended for combat and remember, it is not a Ka-29 (http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/ka-29.php), although it can be refitted as one, if necessary", the voice came from a speaker in the helicopter bay as Pyotr started to turn on the systems of his helicopter. Towards the horizon there was nothing but the seemingly infinite blue of the sea apparently joining the sky far ahead, and a distant coast of a foreign nation further ahead. Soon the helices started to turn as both helicopters took flight, their helices creating strong winds against the helicopter bays during it. Pyotr started to turn the helicopter towards the coast while the other helicopter remained on the sea. Both had an endurance of fight of two hours and half, more than enough for the area they were to survey, considering their radars had a range of 150 kilometers.

And thus after fifteen minutes Pyotr could not see the fleet anymore which they left behind for their mission, but only an approaching beach they were about to reach as they would scout the entire coastline surrounding the beachhead their forces would land to.

At the same time, a transmission arrived to the nearest base of Beatus Republic as a large group of aircrafts was approaching that base and nearing cities to find places for landing. It was in English, although with a very obvious Russian accent:

"This is Marshall Erganov of Prazinia's Expeditionary Air Force, requesting coordinates for landing after we took several scales and aerial refuelings after negotiating with your nearby allies. We have a quite big amount of planes here seeking somewhere safe to land, transporting supplies and troops, and I meant it when I said quite big. I am sending you the exact data on their numbers, but should the encrypted written message not arrive, I will repeat them here for convenience: They are 20 PAKFA fighters, 6 Su-30MK3 fighters, 25 Su-37 Berkut fighters, 20 MiG-31M interceptors, 15 Su-34 fighter-bombers, 30 Su-25 Close Air Support aircrafts, 30 Su-30MKM electronic warfare aircrafts, 10 Beriev A-50 AWACS, 5 Boeing 737 AEW&C, 50 Ilyushin Il-76, 30 Antonov An-12, 10 Antonov An-124, 70 Antonov Y-5C, 50 RQ-5 Hunter and 10 IAI Heron.

0912, City of the Blessed

The Marine chalks began moving through the city streets, towards each of their objectives. Chalk Two was tasked with destroying the major AA emplacement to the west. "Alright men, we're going to head across these neighborhoods to this field here, where the AA position is. We're going to clear out the main street, so we can have a more direct path of transportation than side streets and back alleys. Check your fire, we don't want any civilian casualties. Clear?" Gunnery Sergeant Jacob Grimm briefed.

"Clear."

"Alright, let's go." Chalk Two set out down the street, with men covering the windows of every house they came to. Gunfire echoed from around the city. Suddenly, a window shutter from a two-story building was flung open, and a Royalist sprayed the street with his rifle. One Marine was hit, but not badly, and then two more Marines sprayed the window with bullets, easily penetrating the flimsy drywall the walls were made of. "We need to clear these buildings, one by one! Greene, Peters, Robinson, stack up! York, take three more and clear out the building across the street! The rest of you take the next one!" Grimm ordered.

Robinson kicked in the door and crept inside, rifle at the ready, his trigger finger twitching. Greene and Grimm immediately sped up the stairs. "Bill, get the door," Grimm said. Greene kicked in a door, revealing a deserted bedroom. The next two rooms were also deserted. "Second floor, clear!" Grimm shouted.

Downstairs, Robinson and Peters had cleared a kitchen and dining room area, and were proceeding to the back hallway. "Rob, I hear 'em," Peters whispered. Robinson pulled out a shotgun. "Good thing I have this." He blew the hinges off the door, and Peters slammed in to the ground with his foot. Peters was immediately cut down by a stream of fire. "Shit!" Robinson yelled, slamming himself against the wall. He jerked a frag grenade off his vest and prepared to pull the pin. "Freeze!" shouted Grimm, who had just entered the hallway. "Too risky. Bill, throw a flasher." Greene pulled the pin off a flashbang. After the sharp bang, the three men entered the room cutting down two of three soldiers inside. Grimm charged the last man and knocked him out with his rifle butt. "Robinson, take him to the CP. It ain't far."

"Yes, sir," Robinson sighed. He slung the man's body over his shoulders and staggered out of the room.

Grimm and Greene regrouped with the rest of the chalk outside. "Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Zero-Six. We have one man KIA and another bringing back a present, over."

"Roger that November Zero-Six. Have you reached Objective Cognac, over?"

"Negative, Eight-Eight. We are still approximately one klick from objective, over."

"Continue to the objective, Zero-Six. The chopper can't proceed to LZ X-Ray until it’s taken out! Eight-Eight out."

"Alright men, stay out of the middle of the street, but stay away from the walls. Bullets ride on walls. We’ve got to move quickly, or else the choppers can’t land at LZ X-Ray.”

The remaining men of Chalk Two didn’t get far until their next contact. Two men darted out of a side alley ahead. One was immediately killed, but the other was able to duck inside a house. “Greene, Sanderson, on me!” Grimm shouted as he dashed to the doorway. “York, clear out these houses!”

“Yes, sir!” Sergeant York replied, running across the street with three more men. The others lined up at the next house, just like before. Grimm busted down the door with his rifle, and Greene tossed in a flashbang. They heard a pair of gasps after it exploded. Sanderson ducked into the house, firing at a soldier crouching behind an overturned table. Before the second man could recover, Grimm charged him and lodged his combat knife in between the man’s ribs. With a slow, long groan, the man slumped to the floor. Two more Royalists began to dash down the stairs. Greene caught one in the chest with a burst from his rifle, but was hit in the chest by the other. Greene was knocked to the ground, and the other man fled up the stairs. Sanderson immediately pursued. “Bill! Are you okay!?” Grimm shouted, running over to Greene. Greene groaned and slowly sat up. “Yeah,” he said, feeling his chest. The bullet had ricocheted off the wall and had been stopped by his body armor. “Lucky bastard!” Grimm said, pulling Greene to his feet.

“November Zero-Six, this is November Six Bravo. We have secured the building across the street, over,” York’s voice crackled over the headset.

“November Zero-Six, November Six Yankee here. Building cleared, over,” said Sergeant Kramer, the other team leader.

“Roger that, regroup outside this house.” Grimm said, walking back outside into the sunlight. The rest of the men dashed out to circle around him. “Alright, this is getting annoying. I think we need some help.”

“Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Zero-Six, over.”

“This is Charlie Eight-Eight. Go ahead Zero-Six.”

“This is Zero-Six. We are being severely delayed by tangos in buildings. We could use some help clearing them out, over.”

“Roger that Zero-Six. November Two-Five is en route to your position. Eight-Eight out.”

“Chalk Five is on they way, men. We’ve got to clear the buildings at the intersection ahead. Let’s do this!” Grimm said, turning and jogging ahead to the next uncleared house. “Same teams, go, go, go!” Greene smashed in the door with his rifle again, and Sanderson and Greene immediately moved in and checked the corners.

“Clear!”

“Clear!”

“Alright, move up-“ Grimm was immediately cut off by an explosion just outside. “Mortars! Everyone, take cover!” Grimm ducked and sprinted inside. “Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Zero-Six, we are pinned down by mortars on Liberty Lane (Codename)! They’ve got us zeroed! We need fire support, over!”

“Negative, November Zero-Six. Air and Artillery support is unavailable. Too risky for civilian casualties, over.”

“Goddamnit! We’re all gonna get killed!”

“We can’t help you, Zero-Six. We’ll send Two-Five around to eliminate the mortar position. Hold tight, ‘til then. Out.”

1052, City of the Blessed

Chalk Five wandered through the back alleys, avoiding attention so they could flank a mortar position that had Chalk Two pinned down. The alleys were eerily quiet – but with few good firing angles from the windows above, it was unlikely that the Royalist forces would watch the alleys from above. Nonetheless, two of the Marines watched the windows at all times for any signs of the enemy. The ground, on the other hand, was a tactical nightmare for Gunnery Sergeant Victor Long. The narrow alleys were artificial chokepoints, and were further constricted by the heaps of garbage and the dumpsters that lined the walls.

As the Chalk approached an ‘intersection’ in the alleyways, Long heard a noise to the left. He immediately held up his hand in a fist, the signal for “Freeze!” and crouched. He slowly made his way to the corner and peered around the corner. A pair of Royalists were lounging in chairs, their feet propped up on a wooden table. They were apparently oblivious to everything around them, apart from the military radio on the table, which constantly crackled out Royalist orders. Long motioned for two of his men to move up, and they quietly took up positions at the mouth of the alleyway. With two well-placed shots, both of the men were killed, one slumping forward in his chair and the other tumbling out. Long walked over and seized the radio.

“Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Two-Fife. We have obtained intel, over.”

“Roger that, Two-Fife. I send Groundhog one man with the package, over.”

“Roger that Charlie Eight-Eight. Out.” Long turned and walked back over to his Chalk. “Jones, you’ve just volunteered to take this back to the CP,” he said, handing the radio to Jones. Jones slung his rifle over his shoulder and sprinted out of the alley in the direction of the TV Station. “Alright, let’s go,” Long said, motioning forward with his hand.

Eventually the Marines emerged from the alleys in a small side street in a civilian housing area, full of cookie-cutter one-story residences. “Graves, Team One, Drake, Team 2. Take a house and clear it. Harris, Jenkins, Banks, you’re with me. Move!” Long whispered.

Long’s team stacked up at the front door to one house. He could hear alerted voices inside preparing for their entrance. Long motioned for Jenkins and Banks to move around to the side door of the garage and flank them from there. “3…2…1…Breach!” Long shouted, busting down the door with his rifle. Immediately a steady stream of bullets emerged from the house. Long and Harris pressed themselves against the walls as if hanging on for dear life. Soon enough, shots rang out inside and the torrent slowly trickled to a halt. “Clear,” came Jenkins’s voice from the foyer. “Good job. Harris, Banks, upstairs,” Long said, pointing up the stairway. “Jenkins, on me. We’re moving to the next house.”

“Hold,” Long said to Jenkins, raising his hand. “Wait for Harris and Banks to finish clearing the other house.” Soon enough, the other two Marines jogged out of the house towards Long’s position. “Clear, sir,” Harris whispered.

“Right. They’re in there, all right. Okay, Jenkins, get the door. Banks, smash a window in the back and go in with Harris. We’ll distract ‘em here.”

“Roger that.” Harris and Banks jogged around the corner and out of sight. “Ready? One…Two…Three!” Jenkins kicked in the door and was hit in the torso by a couple of bullets. “Shit! Bang in!” Long shouted, tossing in the flashbang. After the enemies were blinded, Long turned in and dropped them both with clean shots. “Medic! Blair, we need a medic!” the sergeant shouted. Corporal Robert Blair, the Chalk’s medic dashed over from a house across the road.

“Where’s he hit, Sarge?”

“Thigh, thigh, thigh!” Jenkins groaned, struggling to stop the steady stream of blood that was oozing out of the wound. Blair quickly attached and bandage and asked, “Can you walk?”

“Yeah, I think so. Help me up.” Blair and Long pulled Jenkins up and put him on his feet. “Yeah, I think I’ll be all right, just hand me my –“ Blood spurted from Jenkins’s neck and he crumpled down in a heap.

“Shit! Man down! Man down! Tangos in the open!” Long shouted, sprinting for cover behind a car. Blair ducked inside the house, and Banks and Harris took up positions in the second floor windows. Royalists began pouring out of the nearby houses. Apparently, all the shooting had finally alerted most of them down the street a ways, and now they were converging on Chalk Five’s position. “November Two Foxtrot, November Two Kilo, this is November Two-Five Actual! Hold position in buildings and take out those tangos!”

After a fierce firefight, all the Royalists were dead, with another Marine killed and Harris being wounded. “November Two-Five, I think that clears these houses. Regroup on my position!” The remaining members of the Chalk gathered around Long. “Okay,” he said, pulling out a map, “We just cleared out this section here, so we need to proceed here to the mortars. Let’s go quickly, men. Chalk Two may be losing men as we speak.”

Long peered up the road and saw a pair of trucks. That could only be the mortar position. Long gave the hand signal for ‘Wedge Formation’ and ‘Double Time.’ The men formed an arrow and sprinted down the road. Within 100 feet of the mortars, they were spotted by the guarding riflemen, who immediately began firing bursts from their rifles. One Marine was hit in the chest and killed; the rest scattered out of the road and took cover. “Graves, take the machine gunners upstairs in a house and provide suppressing fire! Drake, take your team and flank right once the MGs get goin’! Go, go, go!” Long ordered. The machine gunner set up in the window of a two-story house, firing long, controlled bursts of suppressing fire at the enemy soldiers, which was effective in forcing them to take cover. “Go!” Long shouted to Sergeant Drake, waving his hand forward. Drake’s team sprinted from car to car in the driveways to the right, while Long and the rest of the men maneuvered toward the enemy from behind the short stone walls and fences that surrounded the front lawns. Drake’s team were able to envelop them, firing into their unprotected flanks. Long then stormed the mortar position, killing the four men manning them. “Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Two-Fife! We have eliminated Objective Cocktail, over!”

“Roger that, Two-Fife. We have received reports from Wun-Six that they are moving again. Continue to Objective Cognac, out.”

His security cheif was ready to blast the soldier's head for pointing that M14 at his principal but Macaraig restrained him. There was no sense in engaging in a firefight with the "good" Beatusians. The irony that the troops they would be fighting with showed them more mistrust than the troops they would later be fighting against did not escape him.

"No need to point your gun at me, soldier." He replied calmly.

At a gesture from the ambassador, the Visayan embassy staff and their bodyguards stepped out of their vehicles. The diplomatic personnel had their hands up to show they were unarmed. He presented his diplomatic credentials, the same documents he had presented to President Lange on his arrival in Beatus and an enclosed memo from Lange approving the embassy application and the incoming ambassador.

"Would these be enough?"

The soldier looked them over, looked back at the convoy, then back at the papers. He continued this for a moment before, singling for his troops to lower they're weapons. "I apologize for that, but it was necessary," He said. "Your the first Visayan embassy personnel to actually have papers. We've captured Royalists posing as your people, twice. I hope you understand our position, the first team killed two of my men." The other soldiers were already helping the people to a nearby building, where they would await helicopters to take them to a secure location.

In the Tungsten Province, which borders The Beatus, each of the GWO border guards adjacent to The Beatus began listening to their radioes. Suddenly they began opening fire on the Blessed Guard Border Guards. In the Provincial Capital, hundreds of Divine Tiger Heavy Battle Tanks began mobilizing, heading for The Beatus to assist the Republic. Foot soldiers were riding on any vehicle headed there, crowding on tanks, riding in personnel carriers, et cetera. The amount of vehicles was clogging the roads, where a few civilian vehicles attempted to navigate through the covoys. Confetti flew from windows, showing the Citizenry's support for the military. These troops would be the first ones to The Beatus, but Non Provincial Federal Military Units would be arriving via sea, and some by the same neighboring province.

It wasn't long before the Blessed Guard realized what was happening. Then they began fighting back. Picking convoys apart. They would hide on a ridge, wait for the convoy to near, then two men with RPG Launchers would disable the first and last vehicle and troops would poor down from the ridge shredding the convoy.

“C’mon, I hear the AA guns ahead,” Sergeant Grimm whispered to Chalk Two.

“November Wun-Six, this is November Two-Fife, over.”

“This is Wun-Six. Go ahead Two-Fife.”

“We’re on your southern flank. We will be in range of Objective Cognac momentarily. I send Pigeon (Halt) until we are in position. Over.”

“Roger that Two-Fife. Objective Cognac is nearly in sight. We still have a couple more houses to clear, so you’ve got time. Out.” Grimm turned back to his men. “York, Kramer, take your teams and clear the rest of these houses. Holmes, I want the MG in a good firing position on the gun, as you’ll open the attack. Clear?”

“Clear.”

“Alright, go, go, go,” Grimm said, motioning with his hand. Sanderson and Green stacked up at the door. Grimm strode up and kicked it in confidently. Sanderson and Greene ducked inside, Sanderson checking the back rooms, and Greene covering the staircase. As expected a Royalist crept down the stairs, rifle ready, but was nonetheless unprepared for Greene. The man was cut down, sparking shouts from above. “Clear!” Sanderson shouted, moving back into the foyer. Grimm held up his hand and silently moved up the stairs. Two Royalists appeared at the head of the stairs. Grimm immediately cut one down, and the other fired wildly, then fleeing into a side room. Grimm motioned for Sanderson to take care of the room, and took Greene over to another door. “I hear voices inside. Toss in the flasher on my mark,” Grimm said. “One…Two…Three!” The door collapsed to the floor and the flashbang grenade went in. Many cries of distress followed. Grimm swiftly entered the room and cut down the sole soldier, who had been “guarding” some civilian hostages.

“Grimm held up his hand before the civilians could speak. We’re here to help. Stay here, for your own safety.” The father nodded, and hurried past and into a windowless bathroom. “Sanderson, regroup!” Grimm shouted, strutting back downstairs.

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

Meanwhile, Chalk Five had little problem setting up a firing position in the buildings overlooking the small courtyard the AA position was placed in. “November Wun-Six, this is November Two-Fife, over.”

“Roger that, Two-Fife. We have cleared out the buildings and have Objective Cognac in sight. You?”

“Same same, Wun-Six. Awaiting your signal.”

“Roger that, Two-Fife. Engage in T minus 20 seconds. Our fire teams are nearly in position. Out.” Long turned his head to Harris, then returned his hand to his radio. “All teams, pick your targets. Engage in T minus 10…9…8…” Long gripped his rifle tightly. His trigger started to itch. “…2…1…GO LOUD! GO LOUD!” Immediately machine gun and rifle fire raked the AA guns from the south and west, cutting down eight of the eleven gunners and destroying a cache of SAMs outright. When they were certain the gunners were pinned behind their sandbags, Grimm took his chance.

“November Six Delta, lift fire! November Six Bravo, Yankee, storm the target! MOVE!” Grimm and the majority of his men stood up and charged the sandbag bunker, firing wildly to keep the enemies pinned. “November Two-Fife, cease fire!” Long shouted into the radio. Chalk Five immediately stopped firing as the men of Chalk Two leapt over the sandbags and engaged the Royalists with their rifle butts.

“Charlie Eight-Eight, this is November Wun-Six. Objective Cognac has been secured, over. Wheeler, get those charges…”

“Roger that, November Wun-Six. Hold position until Whiskey Wing arrives, over.”

“Roger that, Charlie Eight-Eight. Out.” Grimm surveyed the area for defensive positions. “Alright! York, Kramer, on me! We need to set up defensive positions!” he shouted, waving his hand. He activated his radio again. “November Two-Fife, this is November Wun-Six. Deploy your fire teams on the perimeter as you see fit, over.”

“Roger that, Wun-Six,” Long replied. “Alright men, the choppers are en route to our position. Graves, deploy your team to cover the southeastern road! Drake, deploy in the sandbag bunker next to the AA gun! Greene, Sanderson, hold here! We’ll provide covering fire from the buildings with the MG! Move it, people!”

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

1158, City of the Blessed

“Charlie Eight-Eight, this is Whiskey One-Niner. We are approaching LZ X-Ray. It is in sight, over.” The helicopter wing carried two thousand more Marines into the battle, heading for the newly secured clearing at LZ X-Ray.

“Roger that, Whiskey One-Niner. Careful of handheld AAA, out.” The sky was calm as the choppers flew toward the LZ, but as they passed over the main road, smoke streams began to shoot up into the sky, from handheld RPGs. “Whiskey One-Niner, this is Whiskey Two-Fower. We just had a grazing shot from an RPG, over.”

“Whiskey Two-Fower, I send Snake (Do you…?) Jackal (Casualties).”

“Negative, One-Niner, just a bunch of wet pants. Out.”

“Careful, men. They may have-“

“Sir, I’ve got a missile lock on-“ Suddenly, one of the choppers exploded and spun out of control, crashing into the apartment buildings below. “Shit, Stingers! Evasive action, now!”

“Sir, three bogeys moving in FAST!”

“Shit, we got jets! Deploy flares!” A trio of three Royalist jets appeared, and soon enough smoke trails could be seen shooting from below their wings. “Flares! FLARES!” Three missiles spun out of control as they careened toward the decoy flares. Three choppers weren’t so lucky. Whiskey Eight-Fower had its main rotor ripped off, and it tumbled helplessly to the ground below. One missile hit a chopper directly inside its passenger compartment. The fireball that was a helicopter sagged at its tail end and promptly crashed. “This is Whiskey Fife-Tree, goin’ in hard! Braaaaaaaaaace!” The helicopter, Whiskey Five-Three, had been hit in the tail, tearing it completely from the fuselage. The chopper crashed onto a roof nose-first, slid off, and crashed into an alley.

“This is Whiskey One-Niner! Hold formation! ETA to LZ X-Ray is T minus 10 seconds!” The choppers almost simultaneously halted by swinging the nose skywards, causing the backwind from the rotor to stop all movement. “Drop ropes! Go, go, go!”

“Sir, the jets are comin’ back!” yelled a crew chief.

“Flares!” shouted the pilot. Only one missile got through this time, hitting the top rotor of a helicopter. “Whiskey Seven-Niner, goin’ in hard!” Luckily, the chopper did not receive much damage, and the crew was able to escape unscathed. The passengers on the ground, however, were nearly crushed by the crashing fuselage, and suffered three wounded from shrapnel.

“This is Whiskey One-Niner, Whiskey Wing has delivered its cargo and is pullin’ off now, out.”

“Roger that, Whiskey Wing. We will contact you as soon as LZ Gamma is opened. Out.”

"You can't be too careful. It's perfectly alright." Macaraig replied. These Royalists were prepared to do anything. "Has there been any news of Visayan troop movements to Beatus? i've been cut off from my government and i don't have any idea what's happening."

"I see, if you want to take it this way what can I do? So let's head out", he said as the doors of the helicopter were closed and they positioned. Mikhail was the co-pilot and operator of the surface surveillance and Airborne Early Warning systems while Pyotr was the pilot. They were designated to patrol the territorial coastline while the other helicopter would scout the territorial waters near the coast

"Here is Captain Tusonov, the weather is clear so far, so this is going to be a relatively easy mission provided you do not get too close of whatever you detect on your way. And if anything there is a threat to yourselves, retreat immediately as your Ka-31s, are not intended for combat and remember, it is not a Ka-29, although it can be refitted as one, if necessary", the voice came from a speaker in the helicopter bay as Pyotr started to turn on the systems of his helicopter. Towards the horizon there was nothing but the seemingly infinite blue of the sea apparently joining the sky far ahead, and a distant coast of a foreign nation further ahead. Soon the helices started to turn as both helicopters took flight, their helices creating strong winds against the helicopter bays during it. Pyotr started to turn the helicopter towards the coast while the other helicopter remained on the sea. Both had an endurance of fight of two hours and half, more than enough for the area they were to survey, considering their radars had a range of 150 kilometers.

And thus after fifteen minutes Pyotr could not see the fleet anymore which they left behind for their mission, but only an approaching beach they were about to reach as they would scout the entire coastline surrounding the beachhead their forces would land to.
-----------------

At the same time, a transmission arrived to the nearest base of Beatus Republic as a large group of aircrafts was approaching that base and nearing cities to find places for landing. It was in English, although with a very obvious Russian accent:

"This is Marshall Erganov of Prazinia's Expeditionary Air Force, requesting coordinates for landing after we took several scales and aerial refuelings after negotiating with your nearby allies. We have a quite big amount of planes here seeking somewhere safe to land, transporting supplies and troops, and I meant it when I said quite big.

General Redmond was bent over the battlefield intelligence holographic display, deep in thought. The Western Detachment had made great progress and was less than 10 miles from the City. The Northern Detachment, however, had been held up by a multitude of Royalist bases that required careful pacification. There were now approximately 3,800+ Marines in the City of the Blessed, and they had made impressive progress. A sizeable chunk of the southwestern part of the city had been secured, and now the last flight of 2,000 Marines waited for LZ Kilo to be secured.

“Colonel Freeman, display the Capital City” Redmond said. The holographic display changed to a real-time picture of the fight in the southwestern area of the City of the Blessed. “I want that Naval Yard captured,” he said, pointing to the harbor on the display. “Send the reinforcements in for that. Hold back the line to the north until the shipyard is secured.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll tell Brad now.”

“Charlie Eight-Eight, this is Delta Six-Four. Send your reinforcement to take the shipyard to the southeast. Hold back the line to the north, over.”

End Secure Transmission

“Roger that, Delta Six-Four. I’ll let ‘em know.” The radio operator turned to his CO. “General Bradley, General Redmond has order us to attack the shipyard! He says to send the reinforcements and hold back the northern perimeter.”

“Alright. Send that to the Chalks to the east.”

“November Three-Six, this is Charlie Eight-Eight, over.”

“This is November Three-Six, over,” answered Gunnery Sergeant Richard Hale, leader of Chalk Fifteen.

“November Three-Six, you are to proceed to Objective Moonshine immediately, over.”

“Roger that Charlie. We could use some support, over.”

“Roger that, Three-Six. Novembers Fower-Niner, Fife-Seven, and Niner-Two will assist. Out.”

“Alright men, we’ve been ordered to secure the naval shipyard to the southeast,” Hale said.
“By ourselves?” asked a Marine.

“Of course not. Chalks Twenty, Twenty-Four, and Twenty-Nine will assist. Is everyone clear?”

“Yes, sir.”

“C’mon, let’s go.” Hale and his men rose from their crouch and took off toward the nearby hospital. “We need to clear that hospital! It’s as major enemy position!” he shouted, pointing. “Powell, take half the men and flank right! Find a back way in!”

“Yes, sir! Drayson, Cox, Gray, Polk, Edwards, on me!” Powell yelled, dashing off to the right. Machine gun fire blazed from the upper windows of the hospital, striking the ground nearby. “Move, Kilroy, move!” Hale shouted, pulling a fallen Marine to his feet. As they reached the hospital, Hale again barked out orders. “Kilroy, Johnson, frag the window! James, Solomon, breach the door! Go!”

Two Marines bashed in a window and tossed in a grenade. Dust and shouts flew out as it exploded. “In, boys, in!” Kilroy and Johnson clambered over the sill into the room. Gunshots echoed out soon enough. Two more Marines fixed a small breaching charge to the door handle. “Hit it,” Hale said. With a bang, the door blew open, and the Marines quickly turned inside to kill the Royalists lurking behind the desks.

“Foyer, clear!”

“Front Hallway, clear!”

“Waiting Room, clear!”

“Alright, split into three-man teams and clear this building! Bottoms-up, move! James, Crawford, on me!” Hale waved his arm and two Marines followed him into the hallway. Soon they came to the first door. “James, get the door.”

“On it.” James slammed the butt of his rifle into the door, opening it. “Flashbang out.” Hale and Crawford walked inside and shot the two stunned enemies dead. “Clear. Move on.” The Marines crept along the wall to the next door. “Check your fire. There could be patients still in here,” Hale said, silently opening the door. The lone tango inside didn’t notice. This room was full of occupied beds, and the Royalist was patrolling between them. Hale would his finger to his mouth and slowly crept behind the man. With one quick movement, he sunk his knife into his back and covered the man’s mouth, killing him without a sound. “Clear,” he said, turning and jogging back out to the hall.

“November Three-Six Actual, this is November Three Alpha. We have breached Objective Martini and are proceeding up to the second floor, over.”

“Roger that, Three Alpha. We have split up to clear the objective bottoms-up, so check your fire, out.”

“November Three-Six Actual, this is November Three Papa. We have cleared the left wing, over.”

“Roger that, Papa. Proceed upstairs, over.”

“Roger that, out.”

“Alright, let’s get to the OR, stat! We’ve got to clear it, I’ve got about a dozen tangos on thermal!” Hale shouted as he dashed down the hall to the double doors at the end. “No frags, and check your fire! If we hit any civvies we’re screwed!”

“What if they do, sir?”

“Then it’s not our fault. But the point is to avoid civilian casualties at all costs! Straight?”

“Yes, sir.”

“November Three Foxtrot, this is November Three-Five Actual! Give me a SitRep! Over!”

“This is November Three Foxtrot. We are outside the right door to the OR, over.”

“We’re right outside the southern door. Breaching now!” Hale kicked in the door and sprayed the two men in front of him with bullets. James and Crawford took cover behind beds, and Hale leapt over the check-in desk. A second later, more gunfire could be heard across the room.

“They’re hiding behind the beds, sir!” shouted Crawford.

“Bang ‘em, then storm ‘em!”

“Roger that!” Crawford tossed a flashbang over his bed and stunned a pair of tangos ahead. “I’m rushing ‘em. Cover me!” Crawford stood up and sprinted over the enemies, shooting one and smashing another’s face in with his rifle butt. “Enemy with a hostage! Crawford, DOWN!” Crawford dropped prone just as an enemy fired a wild burst where he had just been standing. “Kilroy, smoke the bastard!”

“On it!” From behind the man with the hostage, Kilroy fired two well-placed shots into his head, killing him.

“How many are left?!” Hale yelled.

“I count four on thermal, si-“ Crawford was cut down by a bullet to the neck.
“Man down! Kilroy, get the bastards! James, grab an aid kit!” Hale clamber over his desk and turned the corner, shooting a Royalist who was firing on Kilroy and his team. “Two down on us, sir!”

“I got one.”

“Where’s the last one?”

“I don’t know. Find-“ A freight train suddenly hit Hale in the arm. He staggered, dropping his rifle. The last Royalist soldier popped out from behind a bed, taking aim with a pistol. “Shit!” Hale quickly grabbed his pistol and took rapid aim. They fired at the same time. The Royalist was killed instantly; Hale was hit in the chest. “I’m hit! God damn it!” Hale said, coughing up blood. “Man down! Get a medic!” Kilroy shouted, dashing over to his squad leader. “You’re gonna be okay, Sarge. HANG ON!” Hale blacked out.

"We don't get that kind of information here," said the soldier. "You should be able to get news when you arrive at the base you will be staying at." He motioned to the green military truck.

"Thank you." was all that Macaraig could say. He stepped into the truck with some of his aides and acknowledged the nod from the sargent and his small band of privates who would keep them company through the trip. Once comfortably seated he allowed sleep, which he had managed to stave off despite his fatigue, to overtake him. He awoke after what had seemed moments but what was in fact hours to the sound of the vehicle's wheels screech to a halt. They had finally reached the Republican base.

“November Three-Six, proceed to the rendezvous point at Grid Reference Kilo Charlie Fife. Link up with November Fife-Eight and November Niner-Tree there. Charlie Eight-Eight, out.”

Chalk Fifteen had suffered five casualties in clearing the hospital – three had been killed and two – including Gunnery Sergeant Hale – were badly wounded. Staff Sergeant Powell took up the position of Chalk Leader for the duration of the operation. Now Chalk Fifteen had been ordered to link up with Chalk Twenty and Twenty-Eight at the RV Point on the main highway. With them and Chalk Twenty-Four, they were to thrust down the highway and clear the Royalist-controlled Naval Yard, while the other reinforcement Chalks advanced along a broad front to the north and southwest.

After a short jog, friendly silhouettes became visible on the horizon. Powell sprinted over and knelt down with the other two Chalk Leaders. “You’re Gunny Hale?” asked one. “I thought Hale was larger.”

“Sergeant Hale was badly wounded in the hospital fight. Took a round right in the stomach, just under the end of the armored plate in the vest. I’m Staff Sergeant Powell, acting Chalk Leader.” Powell extended his hand and shook both Chalk Leaders’.

“Alright, I’m Gunny Griggs, Chalk Twenty, and he’s Gunny Jackson, Chalk Twenty-Eight,” the black Chalk leader said, motioning toward the other man.

“Ungh,” Jackson grunted, and fluttered his fingers in a greeting gesture.

“You do know the plan, right?” Griggs asked.

“Yes, of course, sir.”

“Alright, then. If there’re no problems, let’s move out.” Griggs and Jackson stood up and sprinted back to their Chalks. Powell waved his hand in the signal to form up. “My chalk’ll take the lead, if you don’t mind, Jack,” Griggs said over the helmet comm.

“No, no prob,” Jackson replied. “We’ll take right side.”

“Powell, your chalk’s on the left side. Everyone, stay alert. If we start taking fire, clear and take cover in the nearby houses,” Griggs said.

“Roger that.” The Chalks proceeded slowly, rifles up at the alert. There were no contacts. “Careful, they may have snipers in that field on the left,” Griggs said. Powell could see him motioning to the left. The houses abruptly ended and a field cut by a dirt road took their place. “Mike Six-Eight, this is November Fife-Eight, over.”

“Roger that, November Six-Eight. What d’ya need?” replied a sniper team operator.
“There’s a tower in the clump of buildings to our southwest. Can you cover it, over?”

“Affirmative, November Fife-Eight. Searching…” the radio went silent for a moment. “November Fife-Eight, I have two tangos in the tower.”

Griggs quickly raised his hand in the signal to freeze. All three chalks halted and crouched. “Taking him out.” Two shots rang out simultaneously. “November Fife-Eight, enemy sniper team is neutralized. You are clear to proceed. Mike Six-Eight, out.”

The chalks rose to their feet and continued at their slow, methodical pace. As they rounded the bend on the highway, a window shutter suddenly burst open and a machine gun fired a burst that cut down three men, killing two.

“Cover! Take cover!”

“Clear those houses, MOVE!” Powell’s chalk lined up at three different houses. “Kick it in!” Powell ordered. Sergeant Kilroy kicked in the door and two Marines quickly entered, spraying the room with fire and killing three tangos. “Kilroy, Rolling, Harper, up the stairs, move it!” Powell shouted, following those men up. “Kilroy, get this door,” he whispered, motioning the door that led to the machine gunner’s perch. “Rolling, Harper, take the next one.”

“Roger that.” Powell stood in front of the door and aimed his rifle. “Do it,” he muttered. Kilroy kicked in the door and immediately leaned back against the wall. Powell let loose a long burst from his rifle, killing the machine gun crew. “Kilroy, in! Check your corners!” Kilroy crept inside and swung his rifle around the corner. A burst of fire erupted immediately. “Flashbang out!” Powell shouted. In a flash, the lone enemy around the corner was killed. “Room clear!”

“Room clear!” came a shout across the hall.

“Second floor, clear!”

“First floor, clear!” from downstairs.

“Get outside, go, go, go!” Powell shouted, dashing down the stairs. As he ran outside, he was startled by a number of bullets whizzing by him, narrowly missing. About a dozen and a half Royalists had set up defensive positions behind concrete barriers in the middle of the highway, and were engaging about half of Chalk Twenty, another of which had been killed in the firefight. “Tangos in the open! Engage, engage!” Powell shouted, gesturing forward with his hand. Powell, Kilroy, and half his chalk rushed out into the road to aid Chalk Twenty, but one man was killed as he dashed to cover. “Frag ‘em!” Powell shouted, snatching a frag grenade from his vest. Kilroy and Harper followed suit, and three frag grenades sailed through the air and across the barriers. Seven Royalists were killed by the grenades, and four more attempted to flee, but were cut down as they foolishly abandoned their cover. The remaining three were rushed from the right by members of Chalk Twenty-Eight, who lost one man wounded in the assault.

“Everyone, regroup!” Griggs shouted waving his arm over his head. “Casualty report!”

“Chalk Twenty reporting. Tilley, Holman, and Redman killed. Hoffman and Frederickson were wounded.”

“Chalk Fifteen lost Boltman and Edwards killed, Polk wounded,” said Powell.

“Chalk Twenty-Four lost Iverson killed, Franklin wounded,” Jackson said.

“Damn, this isn’t good,” Griggs said, looking down to the road. “November Two-Niner, I need a SitRep, over.”

“This is November Two-Niner (Chalk Twenty-Four), where the hell are you guys!?”

“Hang on Flynn, we’ve taken heavy casualties. We’re about halfway to Objective Moonshine, over.”

“We’ve taken fifty percent casualties! We’re about three hundred yards from the head of the road into the objective, and they’re hitting us like there’s no tomo-SUPRESSING FIRE ON THE LEFT!” The transmission was abruptly cut off.

“Damn it! C’mon, men, we’re hoofin’ it! November Seven-Five, this is November Fife-Eight, over.”

“Go ahead Fife-Eight.”

“We have several wounded at Grid Reference Kilo Bravo Niner. We need you to get to this position and secure it! We’ve got to help Chalk Two-Fower!”

“Copy that, Fife-Eight. C’mon, men, double time!”

“Double time, NOW! Flynn is pinned down near the objective and needs our help. MOVE IT, PEOPLE!”

"Damn it! We came all this way for nothing!... Patrol team, here is Admiral Sirkov they found 'peace' and now our presence is useless, return to your fleet!", admiral Sirkov said in frustration as he heard the news.
"Wait, did you see that Admiral Sirkov? It seems that in a nearby and small tyranny named Sahg, an Antichrist is killing and forbidding people to worship the Lord. Perhaps we can do something about that and our force is large enough for a crusade against this blooming Antichrist and to bring freedom to their people from the clutches of Satan."
"How far from here navigator Rostov?", he asked.
"No more than a few thousands of kilometers, admiral, should I contact the president?"
"Yes, do it. The people will approve our struggle anyway, hand me a separate channel, as I need to contact Beatus."

Yes, admiral, your computer is ready for it. Destination, Beatus command center."

The leader of the fleet then sent a radio message to Beatus:

"This is Admiral Sirkov. We have been a long way to here to be surprised by the news of peace. As a sign of goodwill we ask you to inform us the coordinates of the nearest harbor as our fleet needs to resupply its fuel and overall supplies, while we ask that our landed aircrafts in your air fields nearby be re-supplied as well to make their way back to Prazinia."
