War!

The Holy Geschke Empire, wracked by internal strife has descended into a destructive civil war; chaos reigns supreme, and the common folk who are caught in the fighting suffer and die. On one side, the Nationalist party, a Terrorist group dedicated to overthrowing the young Emperor, Nicholas Geschke and establishing a Dictatorship in his place.

On the other side is the Loyalist faction, those who have remained loyal to the benevolent young Emperor; brave though they may be, the Loyalists are finding it difficult to both contain the Nationalists and to protect the innocent citizens, slaughtered daily by the enemy.

Nicholas Geschke, the young Emperor has called for aid from neighboring countries to help restore peace to the troubled country and end the war. Though latest battle has ended in Loyalist victory, the war threatens to plunge the country into anarchy.

Which side are you on?

~The Capital city, Geopolis~

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor, Nicholas Geschke sat upon his throne of gold. He was a young Ruler, not even twenty; but kind in heart and noble in intentions. Dressed in fine, regal attire of royal blue and gold medallions, he wore his black hair short and his brown eyes fixed upon his advisor.

His advisor stood before the throne, clutching a clipboard, attached to it was a list of the latest news from the front.

"We're on schedule, the fourth army has recaptured yet another village in the southern part of Dasha Province in the east, and Prince Andrew has moved his troops to the south where he's preparing to march to the coast."

Nicholas paid close attention, listening in on every word. The young Emperor leaned back in his throne to mull over the course of the events; wondering if his brother, Prince Andrew who was himself a skilled Commander were alright being in the south.

The Holy Geschke Empire was a square-like nation consisting of twenty four provinces, the capital, Geopolis in the center. The Emperor had called for assistance from other nations in the fight against the Nationalists.

Dear Nationslist rebels,
I understand that you are trying to overthrow the exsisting government, maybe our cheap weapons, designed for such causes, may come in handy. I have included a couple of leaflets with this letter.
Yours sincerly

Dear Loyalists,
I understand that you are having trouble containing these rebels within your borders, may I offer our cheap weaponry? These will help lower the strain money has on an army. I have included a couple of leaflets with this letter.

IAOFR

Official message to The Holy Empire of The Geschke

Alarming reports are causing concern in the Emirate of Sultenia, the goverment and the Ministry of Defense are worried that if this war goes on anarchy will reign and the unrest might spill over to neighbouring countries, this creates a serious threat to international security and international peace.

To act swift and efficiently The Emirate of Sultenia wishes to clarify three points.

First point is that The Emirate of Sultenia wishes this situation to be brought under control. The newly formed MOC (Marten Operations Command) Sultenias special forces, has been fully mobilized at this point, ready for attacks on key targets to cripple the rebellions communication and command structure. However, this mobilization is just one part.

Second point is that the IAOFR (Internal Administration of Foreign Relations) wishes to inform you that the goverment and the Ministry of Defense of Sultenia wishes as a first action that the Geschke military forces send a complete report about the rebels, what they want, what they do (tactics, methods and so on), what is their level of hostility, everything there is to know about the rebels, including known positions.

Third point is that we need a civilian report of what the war has done to the nation of Geschke, this report will be used as a platform to justify peacekeeping and peace-enforcing actions in The Holy Empire of The Geschke upon request from the goverment of Geschke.

Questions will be answerd upon request.

Signed
IAOFR - Internal Administration of Foreign Relations
The Transitional Goverment of Sultenia
The Ministry of Defense
Prime minister Vogel Ravenholdt of The National Party

To: Sultenia.
From: His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Emperor Nicholas.
Regarding: Report on the Rebels.
_______________________________________________

Dear Sultenia.

Your assistance in this matter is much appreciated, and so, as per your request here is the list you asked for regarding the Rebels.

Name: Nationalist Party.

Leader: An individual known only as, "C."

Numbers: 600,000 troops.

Motives: "Preserving the Culture of our great nation." As they say, which involves killing anyone who was not born into our country and complete isolation from neighboring lands. Their main motive for overthrowing or killing me is to prevent immigration, to preserve our culture and to establish a cruel dictatorship ruled by their leader.

Tactics: Extremely brutal and aggressive, the Nationalists are willing to go to frightening levels to ensure victory. At the order of their superiors, the common soldiers will throw their lives away by the hundreds to capture just one village.

The Rebels also specifically target Civilians; mostly women and children. After every engagement, they kill off everyone who is not with them regardless of rank, age, gender, position, or even if they're members of the Military or not. If a battle is lost, they will stand proud and fight to the end, if a soldier is captured they're expected to commit suicide.

This however has worked against them in the past; my Commanders note that in only two months of fighting, they've already suffered nearly irreplaceable losses.

Level of Hostility: Extreme.

Weaponry: AK-47's, MiG's, T-72 Tanks, Cobra Anti-Tank missiles and RPG's. Believed to also possess, Mi-24D Hind gunships, AH-1 Cobra Assault Helicopters.
_______________________________________

As well, to know your allies is also essential in warfare, so below is also a list of my own Military forces.
_______________________________________

Name: Loyalists, or (Officially) The Armed Forces of the Holy Geschke Empire.

Leader(s): Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Prince Andrew Geschke, and myself, the Emperor.

Numbers: 1,202,000 troops.

Motives: Defeating the Nationalists and restoring order to the country, serving the Emperor.

Branches: Imperial Army, Imperial Air-force, Navy and Marine Corps.

Tactics: Conservative, preferring to minimalize our own losses while increasing that of our enemies. Use of Superior Technology and firepower. All troops are trained in the arts of teamwork, hand-to-hand combat and use of every kind of weaponry the Military has to offer. Troops are trained for maximum efficiency, especially in urban areas, minimalizing civillian casualties and friendly losses.

Soldiers are highly patriotic and dedicated, but will scatter if their C.O (Commanding officer) is killed. Military service is mandatory from ages 18-to-21.

Level of Hostility: Moderate.

Weaponry: CH-46 Sea Knights, M1A2 Abrhams Battle Tanks, M4 Assault Rifles, and for extreme situations, 1,200 Nuclear Warheads with ICBM Rockets to deliver them. For obvious reasons, we've never used any Nuclear devices in any of our conflicts and we're hoping that this does not happen in this one.

The Armed Forces of Sultenia

Closed communique to The Armed Forces of the Holy Geschke Empires upper command.

Tactical Command and The Armed Forces of Sultenia has noted your will of cooperation in providing these reports. These will be of utmost use in future actions.
For now Tactical Command has worked up a priority list to effectively eliminate the threat with a minimal loss of resources.
Priorities (military).

Identification of the rebellions key leaders in field.
Identification of key leader codenamed "C".
Cut out the command structure of the rebellion by capture or elimination.
Cut communications and spread false information within the rebellion movement.


IAOFR

Open message to The Geschke Dynasty

The IAOFR along with a delegation of military commanders from the Armed Forces of Sultenia are requesting to send a preliminary peacekeeping detachment consisting of 890 voulenteer soldiers from the 4th mechanized infantry regiment to maintain and enforce peace in the regions affected by the war so local military can focus on the rebellion.
These 890 soldiers will act as peacekeepers and peace-enforcers, meaning they will not accept groups or individuals taking advantage of "the fog of war" to conduct illegal activites. Arrested individuals will be handed over to local goverment for justice. Rules of Engagement will apply when it comes to the use of live ammunition.

Questions will be answered upon request.

Regarding: Increasing our security.
___________________________________________

Dear Sultenia, your service to the Empire is noted; my brother, the Emperor has agreed to your request for your soldiers to enter into our provinces to act as peacekeepers. As long as they respect the chain-of-command structure there shall be no problems. As Commander-in-Chief, I figure the quickest measure of winning this war is to find and capture or kill the Leader of the Rebellion.

My spies within the Rebel organization are already working towards the goal of planting limited amounts of false information. Our battleplan is to lure out a large portion of their army into an isolated area of our central provinces, then to cut them off and defeat them in detail.

As per the matter of identifiying this person known as, 'C' we are on his trail, we know it is a male and that he is somewhere in his early 30's. Another thing our spies report is that he is high ranked in society, for him to raise an army so quickly and so efficiently proves this. We hope in time to find him and bring him to justice. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

Prince Andrew, Commander-in-Chief of the Geschke Armed Forces.
________________________________________________
~Central city, St. Micheal Province~
________________________________________________

The Rebel's army had arrived to find only Prince Christopher's battle group waiting just outside the capital city of the Province. As the Rebel's massive force fanned out, the coordinators were jammed, however, such was the size and strength of the army that he felt this hardly mattered.

Prince Christopher's squadron was impossibly outnumbered.

The Rebel's Commander had ordered Battle Group 'A' to advance and engage the Loyalist's force and Battle Groups 'B' and 'C' to flank and envelop the defense force, keeping Battle Groups 'D' and his own Battle Group in reserve in order to pursue the Defense forces should they attempt to flee.

Christopher's squadron surprised the General however by rapidly changing formation from that of a line to a wedge and driving through the approaching enemy army. Eight Heavy Tanks were put out of action within moments, and already the Rebels had underestimated their opponents.

To compound his error, before the Battle Groups could carry out their flanking maneuver, Christopher had repeated his wedge attack. Andrew's brilliant strategy was proving more than a match for the un-coordinated Rebel forces. However the strength of the invaders began to take their toll; their superior tanks and firepower being overwhelmed by sheer numbers.

Sun Squadron was only one of the squads which took heavy casualties in the engagement. So they sent a message via radio requesting help, in response, General James' task force leapt in from the outskirts of the battlefield; ready to engage the enemy with fresh tank divisions.

James' force, designed to appear to be a convoy which had merely happened upon the engagement was nothing of the sort. As his Tank and it's battle groups moved in to the rear of Battle Group 'C', the Rebels had to call off their flanking movement lest the new arrivals attack their rear.

To compensate, the Rebels moved Battle Group 'B' in for support, while his other forces engaged Christopher's stubborn squadron. The Rebel Commander kept his group in reserve. Unbeknownst to him, the large transports which had arrived with James' force and promptly disappeared into the city were not part of a supply convoy.

Ten miles from the battle they re-emerged from the city and laid a field of mines. The complex navigational routes of central were ideal for such a trap.

Finally, in order to save the rapidly failing squadron, James' Group launched a missile to a point near Christopher's battle-group. Christopher banked all his tanks around and made for the minefield. To the enemy it looked as though he was fleeing the battle, but without losing velocity, Christopher's entire force slingshotted around the mines.

In reality, what he was doing was leaving the pursuing Battle Group behind, and made for Battle Group 'C', hoping to crush it between itself and James' force. The Rebel Commander was ordering his forces to maneuver when another Tank division emerged from the thick forests outside the city.

The new divisions, led by the Emperor himself in his customized tank and spearheaded by light tanks appeared on the flank of Battle Group of 'B' and began to attack it. The Rebel Commander ordered Battle Group 'B' to turn and wipe out the newcomers, denying them the opportunity to reinforce the besieged Battle Group 'C'.

The Rebels had failed to conclude that the battle was a trap. They had missed the chance to withdraw, had they been willing to do so anyway they would not.

From secret locations among the city's lanes a huge Allied force leapt into the engagement zone. Such were the strength of numbers that the Rebel's own tanks could not represent the sheer size of the enemy force.

The enemy commander belatedly realized that he had been trapped. He ordered Battle Groups 'C' and 'B' to finish the fight between Christopher's and the Emperor's squadrons and committed his personal Battle Group to supporting them.

However he saw fit to sacrifice his reformed Battle Group 'A', ordering them to throw themselves at the new reinforcements. Commanders and Battle Group 'D' were ordered to ignore the Allied troops and try and tie up as many of the new arrivals as possible.

James, leading his three tank units with the Emperor at the helm of the column, converged on Battle Group 'D'. However, before the Commander's fleet could be properly engaged, the Rebel leader gave his commander new orders. He had planned to reinforce the rapidly failing Battle Groups, however he now realized it would be a fruitless venture.

Around him, everything was going wrong; Battle Group 'A' had sacrificed itself as demanded but it was a useless gesture, too far out to retreat when he later gave the order to withdraw it was pinned and wiped out.

Realizing that he would be executed if he returned, the Rebel commander decided to strike back. Ordering Battle Group 'B' to follow him at maximum acceleration he made for the city, where the exhausted Sun Squadron was recuperating.

The Alliance's Tank divisions came perpendicular across the approaching Battle Group and after a protracted engagement as the enemy sped towards the moon finally forced them to turn around. However, the enemy leader's undamaged Battle Group was moving unmolested to the city, with twenty thousand troops in transport vehicles.

The enemy commander ordered his tanks to charge into the city at the same time as he ordered his remaining forces to withdraw. His personal battletank and one third of the Battle Group would cover their retreat.

As the ten thousand troops deployed into the city began their assault on the buildings, the Battle Groups 'B' and 'C' entered into the minefield. Surprised and overwhelmed, all of the already damaged tanks and troop carriers were wiped out.

Those undamaged fared better, though no vehicle escaped unharmed. The Battle Group 'A' was more prepared and was mostly able to fight it's way out of the trap, largely undamaged. The same was said for the two thirds of the Battle Group 'D'; forewarned, they were able to defend themselves.

Not so for the troop transports - ten thousand enemy troops died among the mines.

Ten thousand more would die in the city itself. Forewarned of the engagement, every single one of the citizens was evacuated from the city; with several thousand bombs planted inside the outskirts of the buildings in the case that it were to be taken.

As Sun squadron itself was airlifted out of the city, the enemy had discovered to their horror the bombs which had been laid. The resulting explosion wiped out all of them, and denied them the opportunity to rest in the sheltered city.

Outside the urban areas, the Rebel Leader's own tank exploded under concentrated fire. To the remaining enemy troops, an offer to accept surrender was broadcast constantly. There was no answer, and as such, all of the Rebel's forces remaining in the area were wiped out to the last man.

The Armed Forces of Sultenia

Closed message to: Prince Andrew, Commander of the Geschke Armed Forces
From: Jüt Vonsen, 1st Tactical Commander

As 1st tactical commander I have been given the honour and and responsibility to command The Emirate of Sultenias military operations in The Holy Empire of The Geschke. As a personal matter I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself as I expect we will be working together in sorting out this terrible conflict and stregthen the ties between our nations. If you sometimes find me somewhat blunt and informal, please let me know as we have little knowledge of your nations culture and standards, as I have only conducted military operations along with fellow officers and never with royalty I wish that we keep an open dialouge and treat eachother with mutual respect to avoid misunderstandings. Some priorites needs to be met and i have split them up in two lists, one for the peacekeeping mission and one for the military operations as well as agenda for the operations.

Peacekeeping operations in Geschke
As standard rules of conduct, our peacekeepers and officer corps will find no problems with your nations chain-of-command structure, as we are guests in your country we will behave as guests.

Rest assured, our nations soldiers are more than capable of working together with the civilian components of a society, standard conduct in our nations is that soldiers will always show a friendly side to the civilian populance and help them in any matter they can when they are able.

As a nationalist society (we will not refer to the rebels as nationalists, to us they are nothing more than traitors by the way they act) we are a bit short of information about your nation, my second officers have requested information about your nations culture and customs in form of books and education material (native consultants would also be of great help) to study and inform the troops about.

And as a last note, we need maps and charts of your nation, not to find our way in your nation but we need information about wich areas are "priority", wich ones that has been affected severely by the war, wich areas law is collapsing and so on. The different ares will be marked in two categories PK and PE, PK stands for Peace Keeping, used to mark low-hostlie zones were our troops will just show up to assure the population "everything is okay, do not worry, stay calm and live your lives peacefully", wearing light body armour and light armament (note: in worst case scenarios everything needed for full scale open conflict and aggression will be kept "just in case" in the groups APCs always ready to be put on), PE stands for Peace Enforcing and is opposite in terms of equipment but conduct will not be so different from PK. Our troops will always be on ready to keep and enforce peace by appropriate actions necessary.

Military operations in Geschke
The IAOFR and the goverment of Sultenia wishes that this conflict will be Geschkes "own" conflict as we see by recent reports that your military is more than capable to hadle these rebels. From humanitarian point of view and officially we wish them "disarmed and disbanded" if that situation is possible. Otherwise, use of force is justified. However, the Armed Forces of Sultenia has no restrictions in helping the Geschke Armed Forces in confrontations with the rebellion.

However as a commander and former field commander in several military actions aginst rebels prior to the unification of my nation I personally wish to alarm you about the risks in taking out the rebellions leader.
If "C" is killed one of three terrible things might happen.

The command structure might crumble leaving thousand of rebels with weapons leaderless and angry, taking out their anger aginst the civilian populance in violent, frenzied anger. This happend during the Bolto war, a high warlord, looked on by his followers as a saint. When he died in a mortar attack his leaderless soliders went utterly mad and more dangerous than they were with an incompetent leader.
He might become a martyr, still a leader but his troops led by his officer cadre and a powerful inspiration to his followers.
The rebellion might respond i swift retaliation by launching suicidal attacks in the name of their leader, starting an inhumane slaughter.


However as this is your war I wish to only let you know these facts as a fellow leader, in many incidents, the killing of a leader in a low-morale rebellion usually leaves the rebels throwing their weapons and giving up as they see no more reason to fight. There are always risks in war and some risks you have to take.

Tactical advisors are currently working up alternatives and battleplans for us to present. We hope you will take interest in them as joint operations will show the people that things are going well and that the war is over soon.
Troops are making preparations and as the "go-ahead" has been given by your Emperor only the primeministers and parliaments order needs to be given.

Questions are most welcome.

____________________________

As per your request, I will share the details of my country with you. It is easier for me to explain when I put it into this form, so try to understand it as best as possible.

Name: The Holy Empire of the Geschke Dynasty.
Government Type: Imperial Monarchy. (The Emperor is also a King, but is only addressed as such formally)
Head-of-State: Emperor Nicholas Geschke.

Head-of-Government: The Prime Minister.

Commander-in-Chief: Prince Andrew, brother to the Emperor.

Capital City: Geopolis, or Imperial City.

Executive Branch: The Imperial High Council.

Legislative Branch: Council of Imperial Governors.

Judicial Branch: The Imperial Supreme Court.

Population: 52 Million.
Size: 357,021 Kilometers.
Climate: Temperate. Mostly sunny, but often rainy in Autumn and Winter. Highest temperature ever recorded; "96*F." Lowest; 21*F.

Landscape and Geography: Being squarelike in shape, the Geschke Empire fits in like a puzzle piece with the surrounding countries. Consisting of 21 Provinces and 12 overseas colonies; the Nation is mostly plains with large, rolling hills stretching out. Though cities occasionally spring up from rural villages and become bustling centers of industry and commerce.

Clean, untouched landscapes cover much of the southern and western provinces, nearly 20% of the country is devoted to Agriculture which grow not only cash crops, but also provide environmentally friendly ethanol made from Corn.

In the north, the climate is much colder, but is extremely rich with natural resources, especially Uranium, which is used as the country's main export. The East is mostly oceanic, long, golden beaches dot the easternmost provinces. The Emperor has also opened up several nature reserves to help cultivate the local wildlife, or as he calls it, "Giving back to nature."

In the center of the country lies the crown-jewel of the Empire: Geopolis, or Imperial City. Here is where the Emperor's Palace is located, as well as the meeting place for the Councils that administer the provinces. Geopolis is a thriving, highly beautiful city, with straight boulevards, fountains and evenly set buildings that make for it to be voted to be the most livable city in the Empire.

Culture: The citizens of the Empire are highly compassionate, fiercely conservative and hardworking. Nationalism has been on the rise as of late, namely because of the Emperor's decision to open the country's borders to refugees and immigrants. The main religion is Catholicism, though a number of citizens are rapidly accepting the Eastern Orthodox faith; barely 0.3% of citizens vote they are Atheists.

Citizens are passionate about preservation of nature, and about their religious beliefs, which they are fiercely devoted to, as most, if not all the Provinces are named after them. Most people like to inform others that their Emperor is a Saint himself, though the belief in Divine Right has long since passed.

Closed message to: Prince Andrew, Commander of the Geschke Armed Forces
From: Jüt Vonsen, 1st Tactical Commander

These facts will be most useful for future operations, these will be printed and handed out to our soldiers immedietly.

Further on the agenda I have very good news, the parliament of Sultenia and the primeminister has signed what is now called "The Holmen Act" giving The Armed Forces of Sultenia official rights to "conduct humanitarian peacekeeping efforts in the sovereign and independent nation The Holy Empire of the Geschke Dynasty and assist local recognized military forces in upholding local governance". The details will be televised on national news in Sultenia, opinion polls in our nation shows a positive attitude to this mission as our citizens all know what it's like to be in a civil war.

Moving on to next issue, the 890 voulenteer peacekeepers from the 4th mechanized infantry regiment are now formed into an independent battle group called the "1st International Mech Detachment" and will be adressed as such in official protocols. 200 IMD soliders have already been fully equipped and are on stand by for deployment, they will scout out a favorable area to construct a full "mission camp" for the IMD force to have their base of operations, all we need is a good spot to set up this camp, favourable open ground outside cities, the camp will be up and running 2 days after the first landing and ready to move more IMD forces into the country. During the 2 days of construction 50 IMD soldiers split into 10 man patrols will tour the area and inform the locals about the mission, bringing food, tents and clothing if necessary and brief local govenors about the situation.
During construction remaining soldiers will be on stand-by in Sultenia ready to move out when construction is in its last phase.
Details about the encampment and answers to questions will be given on request.

Next topic is the conduct of military operations, IMD will always have 400 soldiers on stand by for rapid deployment on your request, as the IMD is in sheer manpower only 890 strong we have chosen the voulenteers with the best service records. These are specialized in patrol, riot control, recon, rescue operations (in high risk conflict zones), checkpoint and serching operations, fast raids on "encampments and strongholds" and "arrest and capture" missions.
The IMD is split up in this formation

800 Regular mechanized infantry split into 8 Companies with 100 in each.
80 Company commanders, 10 for each company.
10 Tactical Commanders.

*Important Message*

A high pitched alarm sound was heard on all tvs and radios turned on, as the tv screens went blank with only the big red Important Message text message on it, the radios were sparking as all frequencies were shut down and switched over to the National Report Channel.

A voice was heard throughout the speakers.
"Important message follows, the nation is currently in state of peace, the message is revolved around international commitment and will be red to the general public by primeminister Vogel Ravenholdt."

The PM appeared, sitting in his office in his usual clothing, a casual dark deep red business shirt with folded sleeves, the national banner could be seen on a flagpole behind the PM.

"Citizens and friends, people of The Emirate of Sultenia. Currently we are at peace, but not long ago our nation was torn to shreds by a bitter civil war, you all remember it as I remember many of you standing in ranks fighting to unify this nation of ours. We got our unification our nation is on, but in a country overseas an internal conflict with no reason or cause has erupted in The Holy Empire of the Geschke Dynasty, a nation long living in peace and tradition. A mad man, a coward not even giving himself a name or worthy cause now seeks the death of this nations traditional rules and installing a regime based on murder and deportation of citizens not seen fit by their standards. In his path death follows, slaughtering his own people and sending untrained troops with outdated equipment into suicidal assults relaying on sheer numbers and resulting in bloodbaths of followers brainwashed by his lies and promises of gold and power.

As we remember as our nation once was, divided, pillaged and bleeding, we must do all in our power so that our allies citizens will not suffer the years of agony and despair we once were victims to.

The Holy Empire of the Geschke Dynastys military forces are more than capable to handle these criminals and hang the tratiors but as in all wars, unrest and crime spreads in the fog of war, fueled by international syndicates and deserters from the criminal legions this unrest spewed up under night, taking the civilian populance and law enforcement by surprise.

The populance has accepted our aid-support and a specialized detachment made up of voulenteers are on the way to this nation to give food and shelter to those that have been made hungry and homeless by this war and assist the local military in restoring order and capture the one that has betrayed his own people.

May the nations spirit go with our soldiers. Thank you for your time my friends.

End Message

~The Emperor's throne room~

Emperor Nicholas was standing before one of the stained glass windows that lined along the walls of his throne room; standing perfectly still with his eyes fixed on the mixture of colors and bright hues that formed into shapes of varying sizes.

"If only our nation could fit together just like these pieces." He said quietly, placing one of his gloved hands onto the window; his eyes trailing down towards one of the clear pieces of the glass, allowing him tiny glimpses into the city beneath his Palace. From the view high above, the Emperor could see the people, going about their daily lives. Not one of them knowing full well what it was to be like him; how hard it was to be the Ruler of such a nation as this, especially during Civil War.

The fact he was so young didn't help: but the strength of his brothers, the love of his people, and that of his consort gave him resolve and reason to fight on. A moment later, two Imperial Guards opened the double-doors of the opulant room and saluted.

"Your Majesty, there is someone here who seeks an audience with you. He carries a white flag." The lead Guard said; the Emperor turning towards him, a look of careful blankness on the young Ruler's face. "Who?" He asked, "He refuses to give his name, but he states that he is the emissary of the Leader of the terrorists." The Guard replied.

The Emperor's eyes opened very widely at this, he put one of his gloved hands to his chin and began to pace, deliberating his decision. A moment later he turned to his at-attention Guards and nodded.

"Send him in." The Imperial Guards raised their right hands to their foreheads in salute of the young man, "Yes, your Majesty!" After a minute or two, a man of about forty or so came into the throne chamber; dressed in a dark blue jacket and gray jeans that were outlined with empty holsters.

Clearly, the man had many guns on him, but fortunately the Guards had removed them.

"I am messenger of C." The man said; his voice outlined with a thick, Russian accent. "Come forward," Nicholas replied, motioning with his hand for the man to come closer; Nicholas now had taken a seat on his gold throne, combined with his black cloak, it gave him a very regal appearance.

"C gives this message: halt further prostituting of our country to our so-called allies, and you will not be harmed. Continue, then you and corrupt regime will suffer the consequences." The Emperor raised an eyebrow at the man, "I will not cooperate; it is the policy of the Empire...not to negotiate with terrorists and traitors to our nation."

The man nodded, "His Excellency said you would say that. He says then, if such is case, then you and your family will die within a fortnight." Nicholas however, did not appear at all intimidated; "I will not cooperate, tell him that his time is almost up and that he will soon be brought to justice."

The man snickered, "We do not think so," He said, "We have Nuclear warhead waiting in hidden location, ready to target your city." The Emperor raised his eyebrow even higher, "You're lying." He said boldly.

"Believe what you want, but soon, your city will be nothing more than charred memory of a decadent regime!" The man yelled, pointing an accusing finger at the Emperor, "Our armies are strong, our cause is just, and soon our great leader will reign supreme!" He shouted, now beginning to babel quite insanely.

The Emperor had quite about enough of this; rising from his throne, he raised his right hand. "Enough of this! Guards! Remove this madman!!!" He yelled, his face turning to a scowl and becoming bright red with anger.

"You cannot stop us!" The messenger cried as the Guards grasped him by his arms and forced him out of the room, "Our nation will rise again in the face of betrayal and corruption! Do you hear!? You and your kind will..."

However, the man's insane ramblings were suddenly silenced as one of the Imperial Guards cocked his side-arm and pointed it at his head. The man's eyes were alight with fear, quite clearly he may have been insane, but he wasn't about to die for his so-called leader.

"Do not kill him!" The Emperor cried, walking forward at an almost running pace. "But your Majesty!" The Guard holding the gun said, "He's a dangerous criminal!" The Emperor grabbed the gun and forcibly took it from his bodyguards' hand. "We are better men than this! He will stand trial." He said in a commanding tone.

"Now, get this traitor out of my sight."

OCC: And where is LEFT SIDE in this war?? Anyone thinking about masses of people??

If I may be allowed to join I'd like to back the Country's government.

The doors hinges and lock were shot open by three fast shotgun blasts precisely aimed and the door was kicked in. A frag grenade was thrown in.
The soldier outside started to yell "one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand...." *bang* the grenade went off and two soldiers stormed in unloading their Fabrique Nationale FNCs (the new official assault rifle for the Armed Forces of Sultenia) at the stationary targets.

Training Camp 4, Eastern Sultenia, 4 kilometers from the town Hjotfrei.

"Room clear, moving out!" Yelled one of the soldiers that had just moved into the room.

"End exercise, you can do better soldiers, move faster! The enemy must not get room to breathe! Refill magazines and stock up on flashbangs, we will do this again but with the possibility of civilans in the building." Barked the drill instructor.

Jüt Vonsen, 1st Tactical Commander walked around the encampment observing the soldiers preparing themselves for this operation. Not long ago some of these drill instructors and officers were nothing but ragtag guerillas armed with old AKs. The Commander almost laughed at the irony.

*Boom* an anti tank rifle went off and struck out a target on the firing range.

"Regroup the Carl Gustav! Regroup!" Another instructor yelled at the soliders firing the recoilless rifle.

They were all in hard training, just this morning the first group loaded the last food supplies into the transport planes and were ready for liftoff. Just some red-tape to get around, the Geschkes directions on were they can land and the first 200 soldiers will be off to this new nation to put up the base camp. Jüt Vonsen would like to be with these first soliders to land on foreign soil but he had to stay behind to conduct the last preperations.

From: The Armed Forces of Sultenias Tactical Command.

All supplies are loaded, the spearhead of the IMD peacekeeping force are ready for transport all we need is a landing strip large enough for the transport to land on. The type we are using for this mission are C-17 Globemaster III transport planes so the runways must be large enough to take them.

Communiqué out.

If I may be allowed to join I'd like to back the Country's government.

OOC: Send a pm to the creator, thats what i did.

(OOC: Anyone can join, Sultenia, I really appreciate how much you've contributed!)

Prince Andrew, Commander of the land's defense forces was sitting in the backseat of his custom helicopter; twelve other choppers just like it were all flying towards the rendevous point where he and his troops were to meet the Sultenian forces. The Geschke Defense forces were giving them a copy of their secret weapon, a device which might turn give them the upper hand in the war.

The Sultenians in exchange were bringing supplies, men and Military equipment to assist the Loyalists in their fight. Andrew was tall for his age, yet also was the youngest General in the nation's history; despite nearly five generations of Kings and Generals come and gone, not one of them was as young as Nicholas or Andrew respectively.

Prince Andrew had very short, black hair and green eyes; he was also intensely muscular and his eyes showed he was fearless in combat. He was dressed very formally, though he cared little for such things. He wore a royal blue suit with gold laces along the collar and gray-white pants, topped off by black boots.

The Emperor, Andrew's younger brother however was the second Emperor, their father, James was the first to declare their nation an Empire.

Andrew began to wonder why it was that their father had declared Nicholas to be the Crown Prince when he did, despite him being the youngest. He wasn't jealous though: In fact, he seemed to be almost sad that his little brother was forced to grow up so quickly, taking the Crown after their father's unexpected, and tragic death.

Andrew pushed those thoughts out of his head; it was not the time to grieve over events that had long since passed. This was a war, and he needed to be strong, for both his brothers and for his country. Returning to the matter at hand, the Helicopters came to an abrupt stop over the easternmost beaches in King's Province.

A thriving, fishing province that provided not only Marine-based products, but also a strong port city called, "Lolosia" that served as an industrial hub and as the headquarters for the Marines and Navy. Andrew stepped off the Helicopter as it landed on the Naval base's helicopter-pad. Arms folded firmly behind his back, standing tall and regally, he watched out over the horizon that made up the majority of Lolosia's scenery.

Thought it was a Port city meant for defense and trade, it also was one of the nation's largest beaches, perfect for arriving refugees from other lands or to trade-ships departing. Andrew took a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air, just the smell of it making him yearn for adventure.

Kolt, Military Airport, The Emirate of Sultenia, 22 kilometers from the capital city Jutenheim

4th Tactical Commander, Normen Ne-Tuli was walking between the material they were going to bring with them on this spearhead operation. Not much, but enough to keep the military of Geschke and the local populance assured, his logistical officers was with him, everything had to be checked several times to ensure everything was were it was supposed to be.

BMP-1:s, the one that was so widley used during the civil war, had been repainted and looked brand new with the mark "IMD" on them all. This would be their last service run, when this operation was complete the military would scrap them and adopt a new standard for the army.

BTR-80:s, fresh off the assembly line brand new and would serve well on patrol missions to civilian areas.

Several crates of canned food, bottled water, water purifying mechanics, kerosene and clothing for the citizens of this war torn country.

Trucks and construction material for the camp and plenty to spare in case the civilians would need a temporary shelter.

Military supplies, fatigues, protective gear, weapons and munition, boots and more. Everything was neatly packed up.


Ne-Tuli was looking to the logistical officers, it must be a nightmare to catalouge everything that they were bringing with them, the officers looked as they were drowning in paperwork and their brains overcooking with numbers and calculations.

In just a few hours he and two other Tactical Commanders with a diplomatic aide would be on the transport planes with their troops on a first international military operation. Those Geschke must be given a good first impression he thought, and he and all other in this mission was under the strictest orders to behave in a manner that pleases our hosts, not only for diplomatic reason, oh no he knew that, a friendly country are more easy to work with in military operations. This was the main concern of all the tactical officers, every part of this machine must work well or this mission would be seen as an utter disaster for both the goverment and the military.


Communiqué to Commander of the Geschke Armed Forces, Prince Andrew.
From: The Armed Forces of Sultenias Tactical Command.

We resend this message as we are still waiting for an official response. If no answer can be given we must suspect that the enemy are hampering our communications.

All supplies are loaded, the spearhead of the IMD peacekeeping force are ready for transport all we need is a landing strip large enough for the transport to land on. The type we are using for this mission are C-17 Globemaster III transport planes so the runways must be large enough to take them.

To: The Emirate of Sultenia.
From: The Geschke Empire's High Command.
Regarding: Rebel base located.
_____________________________

This is the Geschke Empire's Strategic Command, it is with both regret and joy that we wish to inform you, the Emirate of Sultenia that we have successfully located at least two major bases from which the Rebels have been operating. We are joyful that if our luck holds, we shall apprehend the figure known as, "C" and the Rebellion will be brought to its knees.

The first outpost is located on the coast to the East, located between a small city known as "New Peter," and a large beach which, before the war was a popular gathering spot for refugees newly arriving to our country.

However, we are concerned mostly by the fact that enemy forces are more numerous and better equipped than previously thought: Located in the northern mountains, the Rebel main base provides both a strong position that overlooks the high ground, but also gives them access to a network of underground tunnels.

While it is difficult to discern how far these tunnels seem to reach, our current estimates believe that they might even have access to the Capital city; which is why we are beginning to believe that it might not just be disillusioned citizens who are collaberating with the enemy.

Recently, during our latest engagement, our forces were nearly destroyed en-route to the rendevous point by Bendix Rim 8 Missiles. Though only one Helicopter was shot down, we are now beginning to suspect that the Rebels may have hired foreigners and mercenaries to fight for their cause.

Furthermore, captured documents indicate that they may possibly have an experimental Nuclear device in their research center in their main base. Speed therefore is critical, NEST teams will be deploying almost immediately after the Marine Corps has secured the general area in and around the base.

As for the secondary outpost, we will be launching a Blitzkrieg style assault provided by our newly reformed Tank-Corps covered by close-air-support and followed by allied units. Tank units will burst through and bypass the base located on the coast and encircle it; air units will assault the enemy outer defenses until ground forces have been softened enough for Marine units to move in and capture the base.

This mission is of the utmost importance; if everything goes according to plan, we just may win this war yet.

~The enemy outpost. O800 Hours. Sergeant Genovei, Marine Corps~
________________________________

Sitting in his seat onboard a SeaKnight, Sergeant Genovei, C.O of the fourth squad of 1st Company waited with his assault rifle by his side. His comrades sat in rows next to him, a grand total of twelve men, including himself.

Genovei was a veteran soldier, holding four purple hearts and an Imperial Medal of Valor for his bravery in battle. Now, his platoon was given the best assignment of all: The first into battle, set to capture the outpost and deal the Rebels another blow.

Genovei himself was 32 years old, brown hair and blue eyes. He was barrel chested, broad shouldered and his eyes showed a regal command that only someone who'd served as long as he did could muster. Having joined at age 16, lying about his age, he quickly found himself a standout among his peers.

The chopper soon began to swerve violently, as though it were moving out of the way of something; the co-pilot's voice came online as they bucked upwards.

"Troopers, enemy ground-to-air defenses are pretty nasty, we're going to drop you into the forest area near the base and cover you as you make your way there on foot." The troops then grabbed their weapons and stepped up to the hatchway as the chopper halted just long enough to allow them to shimmy down their ropes and into the woods.

"Go! Go! Go!" Genovei barked as the hatch opened and the first two troopers were out and on the rope. The Sergeant then jumped out, grasped the cable and shimmied down into a thickly forested area, from his descending view he made out a large forest that lay between them and an imposing building with walls all around it.

From the building came RPG shots, though the Sea-Knights were fast enough to avoid their missiles, the RPG's were faster and more numerous every minute.

"Alright, Alpha company should be waiting at a Tank half a click to the north!" Genovei shouted as he started at a run towards the base's direction. "Let's make the link-up, double-time!"

Genovei and his men were trudging through the mud when they began to hear gunshots coming from beyond the area they were currently in. "Hussle up ladies!" Genovei shouted. Though he wasn't one to pressure his men too much, Genovei knew that every second counted if they were to take this base without many casualties.

Genovei's men had just cut their way through the foilage when they came across a passing squad of enemy troops; recognizable because they weren't dressed in Military uniforms and held AK-47's.

The moment they came across the enemy, Genovei's men opened fire and killed several of them before they could retaliate. Within seconds, the confused enemy troops were lying dead in the water; Genovei himself had taken down one of them before his men got to them.

Now, the Sergeant lead his troops through the clearing, ignoring the dead bodies that were now rapidly spilling out blood into the water. The Sergeant and his forces were passing through when they witnessed one of their SeaKnights coming down over the building in the distance; firing several rockets and blasting apart much of the outer wall.

"This is Alpha Company, we're at the wall, ready to commence infiltration. Fourth squad, I hope you're right behind us. Over." The Company commander said through his Comm, "Captain, we're on our way, you may proceed, but try to leave some for us, over." Genovei said into his own comm on his helmet before he jumped up and over a fallen log and made the gruelling trek through another puddle of mud.

"Roger that, we expect you to mop up any troublemakers. This is Captain Winters, over and out."
