Operation: Rockets [OPEN]
There is a big factory, building rockets, that is operation rockets.
"Operation rocket starts!" Says a paper top.
"Operation Rockets is now open. The factory finaly started.
The biggest factory in Roef, in it: 5500 workers, and outside 10.000 troops guarding it. At this moment, more workers are getting started.
This factory produces 2 nukes each day (in NS time), and 720 normal rockets, and 3 warheads. These rockets will be used in every state of war, or to destroy towns of enemys."
Later that week:
"After one week, around 5000 rockets, 14 nukes and 21 warheads are produced!
The biggest factory is going good, and building more at this moment."

Above Roef
Slowly, silently, the glider crept across the sky. It's wooden form cast no shadow on this moonless night, and it threw hardly a blip on any radar screen, much less than any normal plane. Piloting the craft, Marcvs Fvrivs reached up and turned on his microphone. "Good luck boys," he stated in quick latin. "Drop zone in 1 minute... 30 seconds... 15... GO!"
With that, man after man began to throw himself out of the back of the glider, embarking on their HALO jump down to the surface. Under the cover of the darkness, they would hopefully go unnoticed. These three men were code named squad ECHO for this mission, and would be coordinating with fire teams BRAVO and ZULU. Main objective: end the hostile nation of Roef's nuclear producing abilities. Secondary objectives were to gather any further intelligence against the nation that might be of use. Checkpoint Alpha, the first of four, consisted of penetrating the defenses and making it inside. Satellites had confirmed the presence of a substantial enemy force, up to 1,000 soldiers. At this time, however, and with this insertion, it was unlikely that many would be prepared for what was about to happen.
Operation: GOATSHANK was a go.

Low Earth Orbit
Since recent incidents involving the sale of nuclear weapons by the nation of Roef to hostile rogue nations, it was a standing priority for the Salzland Geo-Spatial Reconnaisance Agency to uncover any and all evidence of expansions to the Roef-ian Nuclear Weapons program. Twice daily various satellites, ranging from IMINT designs which took photos of suspected weapons sites and Uranium enrichment facilities, to SIGINT and ELINT machines which monitored for traces of Uranium and Plutonium released from enrichment labs as well as intercepting Roef communications involving WMDs, passed over the nation.
So when a massive factory, dumping coolant water tainted with traces of Uranium and Plutonium into a nearby river sprung up overnight, the Salzland Ministry for Defense took an immediate interest in it. During this pass, the satellite in question, a KH-13, snapped hundreds of digital photographs of the facility, capturing dozens of intercontinental ballistic missiles stacked along rail lines, awaiting transportation to silos throughout the nation. Housing for thousands of workers, along with equal numbers of soldiers (equipped with, as noted by Salzland Intelligence analysts, substantial quantities of heavy weapons), gave further evidence that this facility would be used for one thing and one thing only: bringing weapons of unspeakable devestation into the world.
Even as the first images were being hand-delivered to Salzland policymakers, each in code-word classified folders, elements of the Salzland Defense Forces were readying for deployment. The Salzland response now lay in the hands of the politicians.
OOC: Spoletivm, a glider...for a HALO jump? What's the point? The glider itself is designed to be a logistical insertion. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to get a glider up to that height, and then KEEP it long enough for an effective HALO jump?

CTS Foxfire (FFG-405)
250 nautical miles from Roefian Waters
The Foxfire was the first, and thus far only, Type 66 stealth frigate to enter Tolvanic service. The ship was running under full emissions control (EMCON) as she closed in on Roefian waters. The lack of detectable emissions, coupled with her miniscule RCS (radar cross section) made it very unlikely anyone had seen the ship, and her captain planned to keep it that way. At the moment her forward Mk.50 VLS held eighteen AGM-303 "Lance" supersonic cruise missiles. This represented a devastating first strike capability should the decision to strike be made. The Foxfire, along with with two Type 94 attack submarines also moving into position, represented one part of the Tolvanic deployment. The other part, the distraction was coming up next.

As ASoGM spy satellites swept over the nation of Roef, pictures of the missile factory, with its large work force and excessive military protection, caught the eye of many of the ASoGM's top intelligence analysts.
Once all the data was processed and duplicated, it was sent to the office of the Minister of Defense, Minister Smithfield.

Also in the images captured by the spy satellites was a ship nearing Roefian waters. The intelligence analysts weren't able to make out what type it was, or who owned it, but they determined that it was some sort of stealth boat, as it wasn't picked up on the satellite's radar.

"Well, that's interesting," muttered Anthony Roberts. An analyst with the Salzland Geo-Spatial Reconnaisance Agency, he was assigned to the Roef desk and tasked with tracking three suspected Weapons of Mass Destruction facilities in that nation. In front of him was the newest series of satellite images, captured mere moments beforehand.
"What do you have, Tony?" asked Peter Gilon, the Roef desk chief analyst and Tony's immediate superior.
"That missile factory in Roef, it seems like someone really wants it protected. The Roef-ians have moved at least two additional divisions into the area immediately surrounding it. They've got so many troops in the area that they're having trouble clearing the roads enough to get their missiles out. Because of this, they're being forced to store them around the factory, meaning that they don't have enough camouflage to hide the extra missiles. If this image is correct, then the Roef-ians aren't just making missiles here, they're making a lot of missiles. More than we suspected. There are easily two hundred ICBMs just lying around, waiting for transport," Tony replied, handing over the picture.
"There's only one reason why a nation would build that many missiles in such a short time. They're going to use them. I need to speak to pass this up the line, and make sure the Defense Minister sees this."

Dear Sirs and Madams,
In the last 24 hours, Salzland Orbital Reconnaisance assets have detected the activation of a nuclear weapons fabrication plant in the nation of Roef. Based on the sheer size and already-detected output of this facility (as can be seen in the attached satellite images, made available for your nations to evaluate independently of our own), at this time it is the position of the Salzland government that this is an Offensive weapons facility.
As many of you may or may not be aware, the nation of Roef has a history of supplying nuclear weapons to rogue nations, including weapons that have been successfully utilized in unprovoked nuclear first strikes. We believe that such a rapid expansion of the Roef-ian Nuclear Weapons Program, coming at a time of peace, indicate that this nation is preparing to wage an Offensive war, potentially including the first use of nuclear weapons.
As such, we call on the nations of the world to immediately institute a full series of economic sanctions against the nation of Roef, and to join Salzland in establishing an embargo aimed at halting the shipments of Uranium, Plutonium, heavy machinery, and other components needed for the establishment and maintenance of nuclear weaponry.

VATO countries have responded by expelling any trading ships to any nations part of VATO (OOC: doesn't apply to RBS by the way). However, if you say is true, VATO may be forced to dispatch one of its orbital batteries to watch the increase weapons production in Roef. Please note this isn't a military exercise but a simple watching process we're doing.
However, due to the recent developments of ICBM's, warheads and nuclear missiles, our orbital batteries have gone to Code Orange in case Roef attempts to strike any VATO nation.

OOC: I meant an embargo, because the last time I tried a blockade against Roef's brother, Canedian Army (the one who used the nukes), the rest of the world seemed to think I just meant to invade, rather than clamp down on military exports.
So this time I'm opting for something that can clearly, only be interpreted as directed against the economic precursors necessary to support the build-up of WMDs.

While the Roefian soldiers were tripping over each other, the Spoletian fire teams were quick, agile, and mobile. Encircling the general perimeter of the factory, their black equipment enabled them to meld into the night. Each wore a headset equipped with infrared and night vision optics, and they communicated amongst themselves with hand signals. Each man removed the first of five grenades on his utility belt. Two were of the flash variety (although some men had chosen stun grenades or smoke grenades in place of them), and two were of the normal fragmenting variety, but these grenades they withdrew were special. Each carried a highly compressed dose of VX nerve gas. 30 milligrams was enough to kill a man, and each grenade carried far more than that. It was invisible, odorless, and tasteless, so the men in the camp would not know what hit them. Soon, the whole factory would be in a frenzy.
After lobbing in the grenades with VX, team ECHO swung back around to the main power generator behind the factory. Removing the generator was critical to infiltrating the factory. With no more lights on in the factory, the silent shadows of the Spoletian Special Forces would be able to creep in, plant the charges, and get out without anyone even catching a glimpse of them. After cross-training with the Doomani VESEC and the Candrian ORCA-EA, this mission would be a walk in the park.

Even if you are more experienced than me, Kampfers, I can nuke him if I want to. And I will face the retaliatory actions if need be. Still, if everyone opposes me from nuking him, I won't. Right now, there seems to be overwhelming support.]
OOC: You wanna see what happens when you nuke people with powerful friends? http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13710874#post13710874 They even sank an entire country one time due to the sheer amount of nuclear weapons they used on it. So I would recommend that you don't use nukes, they are RP destroyers. Only when they are used as a plot device and not a weapon do they actually bring substance to the RP. Right now you are using it as a weapon.
TO: Nameless Roef King

I have discuss this with the countries that are part of VATO, and I'm going to express that I have a slight concern for the factory, the workers and the men that are guarding it. I don't intend to send an inspector unless you don't take the next bit of advice seriously.
If you contiune to make nuclear weapons, then you need to store them safely. If you contiune to store them in the factory, includes everything you being making, then if a nation wishes to invade you or sees you as a threat, they'll no doublty target the factories first. If they do set off a nuclear missile or warhead, then everything has a high chance of wiping out and poisoning your land for who knows how long.
I suggest you either hide them under camoflague netting or in silos were they'll be better protected. We won't intervine in the mean time but our satelite will be watching you from time to time.
The three, unmarked fighters flew along, making sure to stay out of Roef's radar-range. The pilot in the modified fighter looked at his two escorts before shifting his range to once more adjust. His radio was open to any message sent by anybody in their government. If even a slight majority requested the launch of the nuclear-tipped missile, then his plane would be approximately ten to fifteen kilotons lighter at the press of a trigger. He angled to continue his path and waited, simply wanting to press the trigger and eliminate this threat from the face of the earth.
OOC: Keep in mind, before you get on me; the weight of "ten to fifteen kilotons" is simply an approximate weight given to me by my brother.
OOC: Keep in mind, before you get on me; the weight of "ten to fifteen kilotons" is simply an approximate weight given to me by my brother.
OOC: Kilotons is a measure of yield, not weight. A kiloton is equivalent explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT. At least Google a word before blindly spewing it out.
OOC: As I said, in what you politely already quoted for me, I was going off my brother and he misheard me on the difference between asking for weight and kilotons and gave me the wrong number as a result. Simply calm down because there's no need to insult me over a minor mistake in typing. Now I'm simply waiting for you to get on me for not knowing about the kiloton thing but give a fourteen-year-old boy a break will ya?

I will not reply on this matter further to avoid clogging this thread anymore.

So as soon as somebody wants to contact, I'll be able to make an actual IC-post besides that corny little one.

YOU are the cancer that is killing II, not the people who seemingly don't understand your rules for RP. Belschaft, since when was it a rule that someone with less than 100 million people can't have nukes? It never has been, and it never will be. Uiri, Stoklomovoki, you guys have been on long enough to know better than to act like this. ASoGM, calculators are not the end all be all. They are hardly accurate reports taken from an RSS feed that is spewed out by NS. They are a guideline for what is acceptable. Do you really think that all these nations could be capitalist paradises with the 100% tax rates that the calculator says they have? No? Well then the calculator is wrong.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to continue this RP.
OOC: In my experience, I've learned that the calculators are generally accepted as accurate. The only things that change the figures is sales from storefronts, aid received/given, and other IC things that the calculators can't take into account.

The ASoGM spy satellites picked up the 3 fighters on their radars, and noted their position near Roef. All data was sent back to ASoGM Intelligence analysts, and after the analysts sifted through the latest information and pictures, determined them to be military aircraft. Somewhere between the time this data left the Intelligence agency and the time it arrived in the Minister of Defense's office, a copy of all the data was made without authorization. Included in the duplicated documents was the encrypted message intercepted earlier, the location of the previously detected sub, and the location of the unknown military aircraft, which was then forwarded anonymously via encrypted means to the nation of Roef. All record of the duplication and transmission was then erased.

OOC: He dos not got a reason to ask me to stop building them.
Do you got nukes? Dus Lynion got nukes? Why cant i have them to?
If i want to build nukes, i will. If Lynion can, i can.
OOC: Lynion doesn't have nukes. There was talks about it, but after finding a better weapon, the nuclear program was called off. I'll admit we have nuclear power plants but we don't have a nuclear program because we don't see much points in them. Instead of nukes, we have orbital batteries that can shoot down any nuclear strikes on Lynion and its colonies.
OOC: Good technology. O, and i made a storefront: HCAK for selling. Nukes are only sold to nations with more than 130 million.
And if you dont got them, good job. Than, that other one haves them, eeuh... Stokmolvia or something? It beginst with Stok.
OOC: You're right. Because under the last kings of Lynion, we produced a better weapon that doesn't give radiation. Anyhow, don't ask if you want to buy it because we won't even sell it to anyone. Also, don't try to be friendly with me.

Sirs,
Having recently received a message from your nation detailing the deployment of an aircraft armed with a nuclear weapon to the borders of Roef, we much ask you to please recall it. At this time diplomatic solutions have not been exhausted, and we feel that a nuclear first strike would result in a catastrophic escalation of this situation far beyond what is necessary to deal with the Roef-ians.

From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
Sirs,
At this time we are unaware of any outside wars (OOC: Telegram wars conducted outside the forums) that your nation is involved in that would necessitate the rapid establishment of such a large nuclear weapons program. As such, we are forced to view this incident in the harshest possible light which, given your nation's prior history of arming regimes which conduct nuclear first-strikes, is unreassuring to us at best.
At this time we are willing to propose the following: In return for a complete dismantling of the Roef-ian Nuclear Weapons program, verified by random and unfettered international inspections, the Salzland Ministry of Defense is willing to provide training personnel and equipment towards the creation of a Roef National Missile Defense system.
Should any offensive actions be taken against Roef by any un-named hostile nations (OOC: Whoever you're apparently in wars with), then those actions will be noted by the international community at large and appropriate actions taken. Likewise, should offensive actions be taken by Roef, it is only fair that the same standards apply.
Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Sirs and Madams,
At this time, we still hope to achieve a diplomatic solution to the problems caused by the sudden build-up of nuclear weapons in Roef. We kindly ask that all Coalition parties please refrain from any acts of provocation, in order to prevent (likely) indiscriminate nuclear retaliations.
Should diplomacy fail, all other options remain on the table.
In the mean time, in the spirit of full disclosure, the Government of Salzland has offered to assist the Roef-ians in creating a National Missile Defense system, in return for the complete dismantling of their nuclear weapons program. Should they agree, we ask that you kindly consider providing arms inspectors, to supplement our own, and ensure that Roef holds up its end of the agreement.
Thank you for your assistance, and may we be successful in our endeavors.

CC: Involved Nations
Sir,
Having just received your message, we feel it is fair to explain our reasoning in this matter. In the past, your nation has provided nuclear weapons from its own stockpiles to rogue regimes incapable of producing their own weapons. Those regimes promptly used the nuclear weapons provided by your nation in unprovoked first strikes, resulting in millions of deaths and billions in damages.
Additionally, your own nation has a history of launching nuclear first strikes against targets incapable of responding in kind. The Government of Salzland will point to your campaigns of destruction against "Gibraltar" and "United States" as examples of such.
As such, at this time the Government of Salzland believes it is more than fair to ask a nation which sponsors global instability to relinquish its nuclear weapons. We are not asking you to stand defenseless before the world, as our nation has even offered to aid you in constructing a National Missile Defense program. We will not, however, compromise on the issue of nuclear weapons in your nation.

IC:
The planes peeled away upon orders, leaving Roef but intelligently not going directly to their original started point until they were well out of the sight of any satalites that might have been watching the country of Roef. Then, once they had reached Ursavian airspace a single aircraft carrier complete with escort moved out with a squad of Naval Marines. They would insert by a HAHO jump and make their way to the main factory and move towards the perimiter around the military forces guarding the factory and they would stay out of range and sight, not engaging but simply monitoring for any and all allied forces. Upon touch-down, a burst transmission would be sent to the countries operating against Roef by another 'unidentified' source. The Naval Marines themselves being unmarked, this would give them at least a little plausible if they were seen.

what you mean OOC properly?! I make nukes, other makes to!
OOC: Well, your factory's production rate is nearly impossible on it's own given how long (in NS time) this has been going on, with just a single factory. You have to be more realistic with time of troop movements and production of items man. Like look at my Naval Marines: the planes peeled off and they are just now making their way to your country, not already dropping off.
OOC: that's because they know how to deal with it. They even give us more details and thus, they can be trusted more. Also, you need to improve your grammar.
OOC: The biggest factory of Roef,with 5500 workers. That is not unrealistic than.
And are your planes still on the way to Roef? Maybe i shoud blow them out of the sky.
OOC: Actually, my orbital battery is above you looking down on your factory. Attempt to bring it down, and you'll be having more than you bargin for.
OOC: I was talking to Ursava. I want nukes, because much other nations got them to.
OOC: He was referring to me, threatening to shoot down planes that were already gone. Anyways, we let them have nukes because they didn't sell them to another nation who used them irresponsibly and neither do those countries use them irresponsibly themselves. When they do, we make them dismantle. Now let's quit with the OOC chatter.
IC:
The C-130 slowly cut through the dark clouds of the night while a team of Naval Marine commandos (what commandos are to commandos, who are what commandos are to normal people) looked over at each other in their HAHO jump gear. They had so far gone undetected and were still out of Roef's radar range. That changed as the pilot of the unmarked transport plane came over the speakers in back.
"We have just broken Roef-ian radar range, the jump has been given the green light." The pilot said.
The rear door slowly came open and once it was fully opened, a green light came on. The squad of six simply bolted off the edge of the ramp while the C-130 once more peeled away from Roef once moire. The Naval Marine commandos looked through goggles at the country of Roef far below. They then opened their chutes and started drifting from over the ocean towards Roef-ian territory.
A alarm gone off.
Enemy's gone over the radar range!
Sir, what to do?!
Send a f-22 attack!
Yes sir!
12 F-22's took off. Heading to the area where Ursava man landed.
OOC: You wouldn't know where the men landed, only where the C-130 (which is already leaving) is.
IC:
As Ursavian radar picked up the F-22s attempting to chase a target already near the edge of their radar range, five F35 Lightning IIs; superior fighters in their level of training, left the carrier. The pilots moved themselves to a position that would block any direct route from the F-22s to the retreating Hercules. Then at a range of approximately two miles they opened up with their short-range missiles while their sleek designs made it one of the most challenging tasks ever to detect them on radar.
Close to Roef Waters
Two light cruisers were escorting a radar ship alongside a Swatter as they placed the Radar Ship as close as they could to Roef waters without going into Roef waters. With the power of the additional radar, the orbital battery that would be cruising through space. The idea was simple and it would only be time before they were either seen by someone or the mission would be aborted.
Orbital Battery in Space
"Hey Mike, we got the radar coming through," Eric shouted to his friend on the other side of the station. "This is going to be interesting,"
Mike woke from his slumber as he flew over to Eric as the gravity was turned off due to repairs but even with it on, it didn't change much except in the core.
"Increase the telescope by 10x and then find the factory so we can send the images back to Lynion," ordered Mike.

OOC: Ursava, according to the U.S. Air Force, the F-22 Raptor is the superior fighter. Now, based on military budgets and relative economies in general, you'd have more luck claiming that your pilots have vastly superior training (basically, Roef can barely afford to even pay pilots, let alone have them spend time in their planes).
http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=199
Relevant Section (Paragraph Two): "The F-22A cannot be matched by any known or projected fighter aircraft"
OOC: Then wikipedia led me wrong because it said that that it's a 'Generation' ahead of the F-22 in tech and such. This isn't the exact page but had been what the link took me to. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35)

It's okay though, I really had to spend about 15 minutes researching to find that. I'd just go with the vastly superior training... I doubt the Roef pilots even know how to launch missiles, let alone evade them.

"Sir, multiple radar contacts leaving Roef airspace at a high rate of speed. Returns from the low-frequency radar array match returns generated by F-22 Raptors. They appear to be in pursuit of a slow-moving contact, potentially a cargo aircraft, that just left their airspace" reported Electronics Technician Third Class Mark Johnson, of the SDFS Evan Trump, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser. The vessel was deployed to international waters at the onset of the current incident, to fly the flag in anticipation of the arrival of a carrier battle group. For the time being however, the Evan Trump was out here alone. Its low-frequency radar arrays, installed after they had successfully been used to detect and help shoot down an F-117/A Nighthawk during the late 1990s, were a recent precaution used to counter the threat of enemy stealth aircraft.
"Paint the Raptors, so they know that we see them," replied Captain Frank Thompson. "Bring the ship to General Quarters, and make a broad frequency announcement that we are in international waters, and not seeking to provoke a conflict. Make sure you add that any aircraft that pass within 100 miles of us will be considered hostile and engaged. And get on the horn to Naval Command in Rostgard. This could get messy, and I'd like to have a carrier out here if it does."
Sodleir! I saw on the radar some Lynion ships are nearing.
Yes sir?
Send 4 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier.
And what with the F-22's hunting the enemy planes?
Let them open fire when the gun have lockt an enemy.

We will stop producing nuclear missles, and 50% of the nuclear missles already build will be dismantled, the other 50% will be stached underground, in a big silo. Only for use in heavy war, and hopefully, never.
The factory will run, we will stay producing regular rockets. Is that a deal?

Subject: Dismantlement of Nuclear Arsenal
Stoklomolvi requires that Roef dismantle every nuclear missile factory and every nuclear weapon within Roef. Should Roef fail to meet our requirements, force shall be imposed upon Roef in a very negative fashion. The factory that produces "rockets" shall be monitored by members of the international community to ensure that this kind of fiasco never occur again.
We demand it.

To: King Roef
From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
Sir,
Following careful deliberations among members of the highest level of government in my nation, we have decided to reject your proposed compromise whereby you would destroy half (1/2) of your nuclear stockpile, while retaining the other half. At this time, we are only willing to discuss the complete nuclear disarmament of the Roef-ian state.
Should a real threat of nuclear attack exist for your nation, realize that we have already offered numerous times to provide the expertise and equipment necessary for your nation to begin constructing its own Missile Defense program. Such a program would certainly go a long way towards negating nuclear missile threats toward your nation. Additionally, should you be attacked with nuclear weapons while your own stockpiles are disarmed, the international community would certainly come to your aid. My own nation would be willing to come to your aid, in the interests of global stability.
But no progress may be made unless your nation is first willing to accept the disarmament of its entire nuclear program, at least until such time as the international community feels that a nuclear-armed Roef is no longer a threat to global stability.
Signed,
J. Marcus Davis
Minister for Foreign Relations.
Force R
300 nautical miles from Roefian waters
The rapidly escalating crisis off Roef had prompted the Government ot order additional forces to the region. The combined force of a carrier battle group and a amphibous assault group was codenamed Force R. The two submarines already operating in the area would continue there patrols, while the Firefox would continue to operate near Roefian waters, but under the tactical command of the Force Commander aboard the carrier Pelican. The Commonwealth was still hopeful that a peaceful resolution to this crisis could be found, but in the event armed action was required, Force R possessed more striking power than the entire Roefian military.
*OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE*
TO: Roef
FROM: Tyler Hutchins, Prime Minister, Commonwealth of Tolvan
RE: Nuclear Weapons
The Commonwealth does not typically involve itself in the affairs of other nations, particularly ones as small and unimportant as yours, However, your reckless actions as off late have been a cause of untold destruction and instability throughout the world. Not only have you been producing nuclear weapons and delivery systems with reckless abandon, but you have shown a past willingness to sell these weapons to one of the most unstable and poorly run nations in known history.
As a result the Commonwealth demands that you immediately cease the production and sale of nuclear materials and delivery systems, dismatle your arsenal of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and allow international weapons inspectors to enter your nation and monitor its compliance with these conditions.
As you have expressed a desire for defensive weapons, we are prepared to allow you to retain an arsenal of thirty (30) nuclear warheads provided they are only mounted on delivery systems with a range of less than 1,000 nautical miles and are limited in yield to fifty (50) kilotons.
The following measures will placed in effect until such time as you satisfy the terms of this message:
All travel between Tolvan and Roef is banned
All Tolvanic citizens on Roef soil must vacate within thirty-six hours
All Roefian citizens on Tolvanic soil must depart within forty-eight hours or face arrest for violation of the Immigration Reform Act of 1992
All trade between Roef and Tolvan is halted
Any Roefian business assets on Tolvanic soil, must be removed within ninety-six hours or they will be seized and liquidated
Additionally, the Commonwealth reserves the right to take any further actions it deems necessary to resolve this situation.
We await your reply.

"Enemy warships heading towards us," reported the operator to the captain.
"Have all ships change course and get out of Roef waters. I think we came too close anyway," ordered the captain.
The radar ship and two light cruisers changed course and went into international waters but were still able to transmit the radar to the orbital battery above them. They hailed down a Lynion convoy and requested they hang around until the Roef naval ships leave them alone.
"This is Captain Jack of the Radar Squadron. I ask that you indentify yourself," Jack said into the radio.

"Ok," started Mike as Eric came over to him. "Eric, check the factory while I check on our blokes. We just picked up signatures heading towards them. Could be 4 battleships and a carrier,"

To avoid the possibility of bloodshed, and as there is undoubtedly more than one list of demands, the ASoGM would be interested in holding negotiations regarding this matter, so that all concerned parties may be happy with the outcome. We will set up our Hall of General Ministry, located in the city of Springfield, to receive the delegates. All delegates may arrive at the Springfield international airport, and as this is a peace conference, no weaponry will be allowed.
OOC: Erm, exhaust anyone?
OOC: What does have to do with anything? Unless Roef's planes have FLIR systems, all he'd see are the missiles closing rapidly. That does not effect the stealthiness of the launch platform at all.
Here a massage to all military operations of Roef:
Return home over. Let enemy's flee over.
To: Other nations:
Alright, lets do it like this:
I will dismantle nuclear weapons. BUT when a enemy, like a other nation, declares war, my nuke progrma will re-start. That is my last offer. When i am in war, i will use them of atleast have them.
TO: Roef, Nameless King
FROM: VATO, Prime General 'Rust'
And what if we don't agree to this offer that you have put forward?
To: VATO general 'rust'
From: King Roef
You can say no, but this is the best i can offer. That means, that i dont got nukes, and that is what you wanted. I got rockets, well, i can live with it. Say no if you want, but than i will continue the build of nuclear weapons. This is the best i can or will offer.
OOC: Can I please just nuke his little factory? Especially since he completely ignored the missiles fired by my guys at his F-22s.
OOC: sure go ahead. I doubt he'll acknowledge them.

IC:

FROM: Uiri
You shall completely dismantle your nuclear program and destroy it beyond the point of being able to restart it ever. Once you have done this, you shall export any and all radioactive material as well as nuclear waste, nuclear warheads, uranium, plutonium, etc. to Stoklomolvi, ASoGM, Salzland, VATO and ourselves, Uiri.
We are fed up with this fiasco and have watched it go on long enough. We have a ICBM with no warhead pointed at your factory. If you refuse our terms we shall fire it and the force of the missile's impact may even cause a nuclear disaster in your nation.

Pending random, periodical and uninhibited international inspections to verify your complete disarmament, we find your latest proposal acceptable. As you are not completely foresaking nuclear weapons, we are not willing at this time to aid in the construction of a Missile Defense program in your nation, but other than that feel satisfied that our conditions have been met.

So, i need to give my nukes, and stuff to build them, to you? Forget it. I woud destroy them than.
To: Other nations
From: King Roef
No. If any other nation, declares war, and says he wil use a nuclear missle, i will build some until the end of the war. After the war, they will be dismantled. But, i will not make it so heavy, that only others got them and i dont even can have them. I will dismantle the nekes, buy not give them to Uiri, EVER!
The large missile was light, especially for its size. It was essentially a hunk of carbon composite fibre with a rocket engine to propell it to the factory and hopefully the nuclear stores down below. The very impact would be immense and it did not even have an explosive payload.
40 normal rockets took off to take out the Uiri rocket.
To: Uiri
From: King Roef.
As first, the rockets are not there. As second, i will dismantle them, but not give them to you. If you realy want to have them, keep this up, and you will have them on your capital.

I dont think so...
Well, i suppose Uiri wants nukes?
I will not give them.
OOC: What kind of rockets? How fast are they traveling?
IC:
After recieving the threat from the idiot who had somehow managed to get in control of Roef, Uiri decided that the original plan to launch a Peacekeeper would be put into action in a different sort of way. Uiri decided that the best way to destroy this threat was the way that Uiri destroyed other threats.
3 Peacekeepers were launched from the missile silo to the capital of Roef. Each one would be targetting the same spots around the capital to ensure complete destruction. Using bearing notation, the following points were struck by three 300 kiloton nuclear warheads - 3-6-0, 0-4-0, 0-8-0, 1-2-0, 1-6-0, 2-0-0, 2-4-0, 2-8-0, 3-2-0. With the final three 300 kt warheads, the place of residence of the King of Roef was targetted.

Soem of the missles hit, some didnt. The remaining planes fired missles back at the enemy planes.
More rockets where brought up, and fired upon the sky to take out the peacekeeper nukes.
400 Rockets where fired, as the factory made 720 a day. 133 each nuke. They will be taken out.

OOC: It is kind of a God mode to fire off nukes, have them impact and claim damage in the same post. Even though his economy is in the tank, he could hypothetically intercept them with... something.
Yeah, I know it's a reach.
OOC: Yes i can, as first, they are stached all over the nation, not all on one place.
Kind of? what nukes you use? Tell me and i'l tell you.
And, the nukes didnt hit jet, they are on there way. War crime? I see it as a war crime, if you send 3 nuclear rockets to destroy my capital.
OOC: I said where I was aiming. And yes, he could intercept with a few missiles but not these hundreds and hundreds.
There is no such thing as a war crime in international incident's international law.
I said that they were Peacekeepers. Also, a nuclear program is expensive. You are stretching your budget way too thin because your ecoonmy is shit and you can afford all these missiles and silos and a nuclear program which would tap you dry, leaving you without all those soldiers to guard the factory and if you have those soldiers you need logistics and it is too much for your budget to handle, plus if they are all over the country and you are making them yourself you need to transport them and store them.

As first, what if they kill me? my son woud be king. He wous send ALL nukes we got, witch is around 1000, all rockets, a 100.000, all atom bombs, around 350 and all warheads, 1000 to your nation. We woud blow your capital, the biggest city, the one after thar, after that.... etc.
OOC: I said where I was aiming. And yes, he could intercept with a few missiles but not these hundreds and hundreds.
Cant i? I have a big factory, and ofcourse other factrory's making rockets! I got way more than 400 rockets! They are not radioactive or something, jsut exploding.
OOC: OK, your budget can't afford that. Period. Tell me what kind of rockets, how many and how you can afford this because you have to have no air force or navy and it would still be a stretch.
Also, you have only a few posts to respond and most of them have been communications and thus your King would be dead. And where does your King's son live? Huh?
OOC: Lol, my budget can afford it!
These nukes will be destroyed!
IC:
The 133 rockets headiung to each nuke, where ofcourse, winning.
At the first one, 40 missed, but the others did enough to destroy it. One down.
Second: all 133 are trying to destroy it, and some hit, but it isnt destroyed jet.
Third: Rockets still trying to destroy.
OOC: OK, prove it.
Plus, that is godmoding right there. I call the damage to my stuff, you call the damage to your stuff.
Aha, i suppose you will say all 133 miss?
Say what you want, but they will be destroyed.
And what, prove it?
You mean i must send all my nukes, rockets, atom bombs, and warheads to your nation? To show you?
OOC: Prove you can afford it. And no that too is godmoding.
No, I mean, prove it by using the cost of each item you have, subtracting it from your budget and not going into the red.
Warheads are the explosive part of a missile/rocket
Atomic bomb is another name for a nuclear bomb, but more specifically a lower yield type.
Your budget military budget couldn't afford to MAKE more than 1,325 nuclear warheads ( the nuclear explosion part of a nuclear ICBM/SLBM/Bomb/etc) even if it was your only military expenditure; never mind maintain them which is tons of times more expensive. So, no, your budget couldn't afford the factory even if you had NO other military whatsoever.

"Sir!"
A communications commissar ran into the meeting room. The Foreign Commissar, Grigor, stood and nodded.
"Uiri has launched nuclear missiles at Roef, but at the moment nothing seems to have happened. Should we follow through with the attack? Roef seems to have been the supplier of Canedian Army nuclear warheads."
"Send the first wave. 2,000 Topol M missiles."
"Yes, sir."
Silos throughout the far Stoklomolvi colony of Colombia opened up to reveal exactly 1,940 RT-2UTTH Topol M nuclear missiles. The approximate area where the Uir missiles were detected to have disappeared was set and scattered, and the missile wave would detonate in the approximate area.

All nuclear missles came upground. Some where send to Stok's capital, other to airbases. Missle after missle took off. More and more. Than the rocket's got off. Than the warheads with no good missle on it, than the atom bombs.
The king went in a plane fast, trying to escape. He took the most inportant with him: Some soldiers, food, water, money and such. After minutes, all planes of Roef where filled with soldiers and defences. Money and weapons. They woud rebuild somewhere else. The rest of the nation, was left to die.
Most of the soldiers went awa with ships and trains. Others got into the very deep underground city's. Most of the soldeirs, woud survive. Some civilians fled, and landed to other lands. The king and all surviving Roef-ians woud gather at lands of an other nation in the region.

Nukes: 1500.
Atom bombs: 350.
Rockets: 100.000.

High Earth Orbit
The first nuclear missile launches were detected by Salzland Over-The-Horizon radar arrays, specifically constructed for just such an occasion. All told, close to two thousand ICBMs breached the atmosphere, speeding towards a series of foreign targets, most likely Stoklomolvi, given the fact that an equal number of ICBMs were heading from there to Roef.
(OOC: 'Rocket' I'll assume to be a cruise missile, which my strategic defenses can't touch, and I'm just ignoring 'Warheads,' because a warhead is exactly that. A warhead, not a missile, not a bomb, just a warhead. Unless you send them in trucks or something and drive them to Stoklomolvi, they're not going to do anything.)
Such a large nuclear exchange would only end one way... with the eradication of a significant percentage of all life on Earth, between the actual explosions and the significant amount of fallout. Decidedly against Salzland's interests.
By deploying its entire constellation of 93 Falkasian BI-3 defense satellites, it would be possible for the Salzland Strategic Defense Command to disable or destroy a significant number of the ICBMs, perhaps saving the planet from an extinction-level event.
As one, each satellite swung towards the missiles heading towards Stoklomolvi. The Salzland government had been forced to make a hard choice, but in the end, the fate of Roef was sealed. Even were Salzland able to destroy every warhead heading to Roef, the Coalition organized against it would be able to send thousands more, and Roef would still burn. But by intercepting the missiles heading towards Stoklomolvi, it would be possible to prevent a nuclear holocaust, triggered when Stoklomovi and its allies responded to the successful Roef-ian nuclear strikes by launching even more missiles.
In the end, as the satellites fired at their first designated targets, it was a utilitarian solution to an impossible problem. Roef would burn, no matter what. But it wouldn't drag the rest of the world down with it.
