Kehre vor Deiner eigenen Tür [ATTN: Greal - Semi-Closed]

Kampfers
19-05-2008, 05:07
OOC: This is CLOSED unless invited by Greal or me. And Greal, don't go around spamming people for help. It will make both of our lives easier. All comments to the general Med Crisis OOC thread plox, although if that gets overwhelmed we can make a separate thread. I will have your posts deleted. I'd like to put in more here but I'm a bit tired x_x

A wise Kampferian once said "Kehre vor Deiner eigenen Tür." Literally, the phrase means "Don't mess with other people's business, for it is better to take care of your own." The statement, very popular within Kampfers, had been applied on anything from global affairs to things such as the neighbors lawn. The nation of Greal had foolishly decided to intervene in a simple affair; unbeknownst to them, they had stepped on a hornets nest.

Kampfers Stadt, Kampfers
In the office of the Fuhrer

Richtoff ran his hand through his dark brown hair slowly, taking a deep breath as he noted the newest nations to join the fray. He tugged on his tie, loosening it a bit, and let loose a deep sigh. It seemed like fewer and fewer nations of the world had the wits to not mess with Haven. As he continued to stroke his hair, he swung his chair around, and reached for his keyboard. Something had to be done about all these pesky nations. Although, what could be done? The Kampferian commitment to the Mediterranican region was high, and although Kampfers could easily handle committing more forces, as the tensions between the Alliance for the Preservation Of Civilization and the New Alliance Treaty Organization had Kampfers on an all time high alert level, Richtoff was reluctant to position his men so far from home.

"Alas," he cried aloud, "it is not like in the days of my forefathers. They were able to throw men into the fray left and right without caring for the so-called 'will of the people.' I suppose Kampfers could reposition herself to strike without making too horrid an adjustment." He turned to his computer, and began calculating basic figures. Trained in the military arts, he would not make a decision without first consulting his generals, but he wanted to have an idea of what he could look forward to committing if he followed through.

Currently in the Mediterranican region, Kampfers had a large deployment through Task Force: Nuclear Mandate, as well as the submarines in theatre. The whole of the Kampferian Kriegsmarine contains well over two-thousand surface combatants, all of Questarian make. Simply figuring it in his head, Richtoff quickly determined that numbers would not be an issue. The key would be the soldiers morale: if the war progressed quickly, he could expect victory, however if time began to draw out, he would be pressing the limits of his power. More than one-thousand ships of the Kriegsmarine were untouchable: they were for use in Haven only. With what remained, Richtoff began to determine what he would send.

The target he selected was Greal. Quite simply, the nation of Volzgrad did not warrant Richtoff's efforts, and Greal was a lucrative option. First, it occupied a slot in the up and coming region Novus Universitas, which housed the nation of Yanitaria, recently accepted member of the Fedala Accord, the same alliance to which Questers was now applying. Establishing a foothold in the region would give the swelling Kampferian Empire yet another doorway to the world, besides the regional pride they felt within Haven. Furthermore, Greal had previously been attacked by a nation extremely friendly to Kampfers, The Peoples Freedom, and they maintained a control zone. If TPF's aid could be secured, or at least the use of their land for basing rights could be attained, Kampfers would have won half the battle already.

Although he had originally planned to leave Task Force: Nuclear Mandate in theatre with Waldenburg, Richtoff quickly determined that it would be best for her to incorporate herself into the attacking force. The nuclear submarines in Mediterranica would remain, however, a threat if anyone decided to lower their standards to that of large scale nuclear weapons. Task Force: Nuclear Mandate was tasked with rendezvousing with the eventual fleet, Task Force: Explosive Repulse outside of Novus Universitas waters. Once the two groups conjoined, the combined Kampferian fleet would comprise more than 500 surface combatants, as well as 75 Dallas Class SSN's and 25 Ohio Class SSBN's. Just like in Mediterranica, Kampfers would be well prepared if things went south. If given bases by The Peoples Freedom, Richtoff was prepared to move in a whole Numbered Air Force of the Kampferian Luftwaffe as well, with the possibility for a second later in the war. Lastly, Richtoff was prepared to send up to 160 divisions of pure Kampferians at 12,000 men each if necessary, although he doubted such numbers would be. And if there was a shortage of men within Kampfers there were always Doomani mercenaries that he could count on.

A knock came to the wooden door, and Richtoff beckoned the man in. As the door creaked open, Richtoff reminded himself to have someone grease it, and then turned his attention to the man entering the room: his good friend and top adviser General Klischten. "Hey man, great to see you. Just planning bare tactics here for Greal."

Klischten smiled at his friend, and took a seat. "Always a sly one, aren't ya," he said in his typical drawl. "I take it that military operations are imminent?"

Richtoff pushed a few files to the side of his desk, making room for his keyboard that had been in his lap. "Yes sir, they should commence shortly. The main question is who will try to stop us. Stoklomolvi might, so might the Beatus. Honestly, I really don't know. There hasn't been a peep out of Norsikia or Erislal in ages, so I doubt they will do much. The same could go for Corbournne. Yanitaria is in the Fedala Accords, so we can probably keep them away via a few clauses within their charter, namely due to our alliances with the Questarians and the Vetakans. For the most part, the region has been extremely quiet as of late, and that makes it extremely hard to predict who will side where."

Klischten pushed his hat back and sat forward in his seat, noting what Richtoff had said carefully. "In my opinion, sir, you should probably send them a message warning them of potential consequences for interfering. Don't be too much of a threat, but make them wary enough to keep a distance. From what I understand, Novus Universitas lacks the general xenophobia of Haven, or the all encompassing alliance that the Mediterranican Union tried to implement before we interfered."

Richtoff nodded, and dismissed his friend. It was time to get down to business.

[TO] The World, especially the nations involved in the Mediterranican Affair and the nations of Novus Universitas
[FROM] The Neo-Prussian Dictatorship of Kampfers

Even a fool can tell the difference between a suicide mission and a safe bet. Is this now what we are to think of the government of Greal, that they are all fools? I know not that, but I do know one thing: they should have stayed in the wings were they belonged. By supporting the nation of Greston and the Mediterranican Union in their foolish campaign against Haven, they have brought much heartbreak and sorrow upon themselves, and from this there can be no escape. Even now, forces from Kampfers bear down upon the region of Novus Universitas, with one purpose: to end the nation of Greal as we know it. Let this be a lesson to all the nations of the world: meddle not in the affairs of Haven, lest Haven come to meddle in your own. Nations who may aid the Mediterranican Union be forewarned: this can just as easily be you.

To the nations of Novus Universitas, I say this. Suffer not the fool, and spare not the weak. My quarrel is with the nation of Greal, and the nation of Greal alone. Rest assured that no damage will come to you if you permit Kampfers to attack unharmed. However, should you take the other path, the storms that will ravage your nation will not cease for the next three millennia. Spare your citizens, and our soldiers. Do not waste your time in the defense of a nation already defeated.

To the leaders of Greal, I say this. You have one last chance to spare yourself the oncoming storm. If, and only if, you unconditionally surrender yourselves to Kampfers within the next twenty-four hours, and raise a white flag above your capitol buildings as a sign of your capitulation, Kampfers will not wage war against your nation. Rather, we will rebuild it, and make it stronger and better than it ever was before. If not, then I wish mercy upon the sons of your nation whom you foolishly throw away to war. There can be no victory for you here. Kampfers marches onwards. The burden is on your shoulders.

[TO] The Peoples Freedom
[FROM] The Neo-Prussian Dictatorship of Kampfers

Recently, you were the victors in a war with the nation of Greal. As a result, you managed to receive a large control zone within that nation. At this time, we have no footholds or friendly bases nearby other than this. As old friends from the New Prussian Empire, we would request your assistance. If you can not directly assist us militarily, which would be much appreciated, we would request the use of your bases from which to resupply our troops and conduct strikes into Greal before we can attain bases not within your territory. A prompt response would be requested, as the fate of a large number of Kampferian forces rests on your decision. Shall we forge our own path, and make our own beachhead, with considerable loss of life? Or will you aid, and make this war quick and painless, at least as far as we are both concerned. The choice is yours.

Mr. Richtoff,

While I cannot condone what appears to be a war of vengeance being inflicted upon Greal, I also cannot speak positively that they did not necessarily by their actions warrant such a conflict. I will therefore speak simply to our point. As long as you do not represent a threat to the domestic and international interests of any of Gesford's citizens, we could not care less.

Presidential Palace, Sasha

President Martin Watson sat at his desk in his office. Security had tripled around the building since communists began the revolt. He was reviewing more bills from the Congress, more defense, more health, more everything. Martin did not like this job, ever since he was elected president of Greal, he was unhappy, pressure from his cousin and the Military had driven him into s deep gloom. The revolt did not improve things.

There was a knock on the door. Martin looked up from his papers at the door. It was probably the secretary.

"Yes, Henry?"

"There is a diplomatic message writing for you, Mr Watson." said Henry who opened the door. Henry was a secretary to three previous presidents in the last year.

"I'll take it later, Henry." said Martin, probably some embassy message from another small nation.

"You might want to see this sir. Its serious, very serious."

"I'll be right there." said Martin, as Henry shut the door and went off to his desk, Martin was thinking what could be so serious?

Unfortunately for him, it was, like Henry said, serious.

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

As Martin read the message from Kampfers, his face grew longer with each line. This was serious. What had he gotten himself into? Greston was an ally, and they needed help. Unfortunately, there were so many alliances around the world, one small war could turn into a regional war.

He knew the Greal navy was stretched as it is. With one fleet heading to Greston's aid, and two more in TAP fighting a senseless war, he only had the coastal navy, and the home fleet left. But he could always recalled one of the fleets in TAP. The latest naval ships that were bought came from Lyras Arms and Isselmere-Nieland. He also had a few North-Point and Questerian made ships.

The Greal air force was still invincible. Martin always believed that that air superiority was the one thing that would win a war. He was worried that The PeoplesFreedom, that held a colony in Greal, could lease air bases to Kampfers.

He was not sure about the army, though the Greal army had more two hundred divisions, with thirty thousand men in each division, not to mention, dozens of foreign divisions that were in Greal fighting the communists (And reserve divisions), many of those divisions were stuck fighting communists. But the communists may lie low if the Kampfers military strikes Greal.

Either way, he knew it would be a bloody war to win. Millions would die in the battle of Greal.

IC:

Residence of the Prime Minister, Spoletium

Prime Minister Jacques Delacroix read the message from Richtoff that had just been delivered to him for the second time. He snorted, and looked up at his chief of staff.

"What an asshole. 'The storms that will ravage your nation will not cease for the next three millenia.' Who even writes that anymore? This man is clearly deeply confused. Probably thinks he's in the Iliad or something. AND who includes a bloody picture of himself with a diplomatic cable? Just look at that smug expression. What a twat."

The chief of staff shifted nervously.

"A twat he may be, Jacques, but his message is still clear."

"Yes, yes. We have no reason to interfere in these krauts' stupid invasion of Greal. Tell the Red Baron so, but tell them to delay their invasion until all of our forces have pulled out."

"Of course."

Three knocks went on the beautiful golden door, the door of the head preist's living quarters - and you wouldv'e thought that preists weren't greedy, or had any intrest in money whatsoever. But, the head preist of San Castello was a special, money-loving preist, a capitalist preist, if you will.

"Come in!"

A young man, no more than 25, stepped in the door, with a paper in his hands. "Mr. Baldassare, we have just gotten news that a nation, named Kampfers, has declared war on Greal. Since we are within Greal, sir. Umm, sir?"

"Yes, I'm listening, go on, go on."

"Right. Since we are within Greal, it might be a good idea to take precautions. maybe send a letter on your stance?"

"Get the military up in arms! We will defend ourselves to the death!" The head preist stood up in the air, and, pretending to have a sword in his hands, slashed the air, finishing it ff with sound effects, such as 'Take that!' and 'My leg!'.

" Our military consists of 300 men in cerimonial uniform with Kar 98's. We don't stand a chance."

"Your right, send 'em a letter or or something, like 'please respect our boundaries; this is not a Castellian war; We do not wish to get involved; blah blah blah."

"Yes sir."

If you do so, our small but nonethe less effective and loyal army will take on Kampfers by force, as will all the nations of my region.

The nation of Orbath has conflicting opinions regarding this conflict, and thus, has chosen to remain neutral. While we cannot say we support foriegn conflict making its way to Novus Universitas, we do not have any close relations with the nation of Greal, nor do we support the backing of Greston, an enemy of the People's Republic which time and time again manages to screw up on the world stage. Therefore, we would like only to request that this conflict is not brought to our waters or our land for that matter. Although our hope that no blood shall be shed, the future looks grim.

Luckily for the nations currently deployed in Greal, ships do not miraculously transport across the waters. They would find that there was more than enough time for them to withdraw back to the confines of their own nation. The troops were en route, but it would be a number of days before they were actually in range to attack.

[TO] The World, especially the nations involved in the Mediterranican Affair and the nations of Novus Universitas
[FROM] The Neo-Prussian Dictatorship of Kampfers

Once again, I will reiterate my statement that no nation of Novus Universitas will be affected by the war in Greal. To the nation of Stoklomovi, we are wiring you and advance payment for the cost of destroying your embassy twice, for from the looks of the situation, it appears that the capital city will be taking that much damage before the fools within the government decide to stop resisting fate.

To the nation of Greal, I say this. You were given an option, now you throw it back in my face. So be it. Take your empty words elsewhere: the day every man, woman, boy and girl of Greal fights to the death will be the day Greal is eradicated from this earth. The citizens of your nation know that it is better for them if they cooperate, for Kampferians are very kind occupiers indeed. That said, one does not provoke the slumbering lion. We offer you one last chance: capitulate now, and spare the lives of many a man. There is no victory for you here. Even in it's condensed form, the Kampferian Kriegsmarine, Army, and Luftwaffe are still much greater than the forces that defend your homes. Kampferian victory is assured: the question is how much you will put up with first before recognizing this fact. For this reason, I stress myself. Put aside your wanton self-confidence and foolish pride. Surrender to the hands of Kampfers, and you will find your life much better.

Greal

A delay was all Greal needed, even one day would give time for Greal troops to move to their positions around the country. Nuclear ICBMs were armed and ready, but the Greal commanders waited for the Kampferians to shoot nukes first before he would launch.

There were two defensive lines in the west. One a few miles from the beaches, and the other defensive line was ten miles west from Sasha. Division after division assembled around Greal. Millions of reservists were activated. The president knew Richtoff would say yes to war.

At a military base, one infantry division lined up in front of Major General Pickett. Pickett was a veteran commander that led his forces through seven wars over the last twelve months.

"Soldiers of Greal." said Major General Pickett into a loudspeaker,"The Kampferians wish to conquer Greal, They want us to surrender. What would you do?"

"Fight!" yelled the Greal troops, in perfect ranks.

"The Kampferians will be coming here in a week or less. They will kill everyone in their path. Civilians and non-civilians are the same to them. We may all die defending Greal, but we will take as many Kampferian bastards with us!"

The Greal troops cheered. That was the one of the few time Pickett's men had actually heard him say "bastard".

Pickett headed back into his office after another hour of cheering Greal troops. He was in charge of a new project that would drive the Kampferians to defeat.
