(The Country I mentioned in this post isn't a real one.)

-International News Broadcast

A young anchorwomen about 19 turns to look at the assorted cameras zoomed into her face and began to speak. "Last night, the small country of Sholc fell victim to A massive uprising that lasted for 5 hours before it was destroyed by the military forces of the country. She turns her head to look at a different camera angle. "But just now reports of Sholc's weakened military forces attacking their own bases and city's just came in, Sholc's government declared a state of emergency before their capital city was attacked by their own air forces. Currently all attempts to contact the country has failed and we do not know what the Nations of the World will do to respond to this crisis" The broadcast goes into commercial.

"A coup" President Clark commented "How close are they to us?"
"Several hundred miles" Theresa replied
"Prepare a offical message"

The Anchorwomen leans back in her chair with a sigh. "Great" she thought to herself with a smile. In her head she was calculating the ratings for tonight and how it would boast her reputation. "Jill" Jill turned to look at a older man walking from behind the cameras. "Breaks over, we got something new." Jill quickly sat up and crossed her hands, and turned to the cameras.

"Are we ready?" Daniel asked Theresa again
"Almost"

Jill put on her fake smile as she looks to the cameras. The older man began to count down. "We are live in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," The room then darkened slightly and Jill began to read the words appearing on the camera screen.

OOC; What are you readinng?

OOC; Up to you, send your message. I will be all Breaking news and crap.

OOC: Ok

Official Message

Nations of the World, as the news of the coup in Sholc reaches us we all must decide what we are going to do. We can either sit by and watch the country destroy itself on CNN or we can get our troops on the ground and find a peaceful resoulotion, as such a detachment of the Battlehawk Marine Corps will be on the ground there in 6 hours. I ask nations of the world to join in a joint peacekeeping force. For the good of the region.

End of Message

Jill was about to speak when breaking news slides over your TV. She smiles and repeats the message across the world when it appeared on the camera screen. Again she is boasting the ratings in her head and her smile became real.

ooc too bad anything that not imperial can't be picked up

OOC: I'll join in later

ooc: I'm posting about the coup in my next "Into the Unknown" broadcast. Of course the nation of Karshkovia will not get involved in civil wars or coups, but at least you got their attention however briefly.

Location Sholc.

A group of masked men walked along a ruined street with Ak-47s in their hands. Around them firing squads wearing the same masks are shooting down people and dragging women into dark alleyways. After a short walk they approach one of the few standing buildings. upon entering they greet an aged Arab looking man. " "Report" the older man barked. "The Nation is is ruins, and most of the surviving population that did not take place in the coup has agreed to follow the God-King." The masked man who spoke gives a small bow. "And the Silos?" The Older man asked. "As predicted they did possess secret Silos but they still were in the construction of Warheads when we attacked." A dusty TV in the room is then flicked on to show the president of the Nation tied to a wood pole, blind folded. "It is a minor inconvenience, now let us enjoy the show."

THe air buzzed a flight of Blackhawk helicoptors sped across the Sholc countryside. Each of the four helicoptors had four members of the Gamma Force Special forces teams on them. They continued towards their targets...

A sleeping man is awaken by the hum of the Chopper, Seeing the thing flying low he calls for an Alarm and pulls the tarp he was sleeping on, Reveling an old German 88mm Flak Gun that was one of the many used for the basic AA defense grid put together during the Coup.

He see men running to him to see what the alarm was, and order them to load and fire at the Chopper, The drone of the Chopper was masked by the roar of the shot.

"Aww shit!" Sergeant William Henderson exclaimed as the flanking Blackhawk took a hit on the rotars and began to smoke "Hotel Yankie 2, break right and engage the anti aircraft gun, the rest of us will continue to the target"
The chopper peeled off and began searching ready to fire missles as the hit chopper began to weave through the sky

The Other AA Guns are alerted to the Choppers and where ready for them when they appeared into their firing range. The Choppers were met with a barrage of AA flank Fire.

"Oh this is going well!" Will commented as the Choppers where battered by ire "How close are we to the target?"
"Less than 5K"
"Ok, fast rope it out, pilots and all, put it on temp autopilot, when it goes down they'll think were dead"
All the Special Forces and the Blackhawk Pilots where on the ground less than a minute later. The Choppers continued on getting slightly closer to the ground.

Seeing the Choppers fall, The defense commander for the AA grid orders Patrols to search for bodies, Masked men gripping Ak-47s and BP-vests scatter to board 3 BMPs and to search the area.

"Halo 12 to Halo 1, reading three vehicles scanning the area"
"Understood Halo 12, break, Snipers, fire at will, silenced midn you"

The Armored BMPs tear across the land as they approach the crash sights of the Choppers, The Chopper sent to destroy the AA gun is seen crashing down near the Commando's position.

"Snipers, FIRE now" "Halo 1 to Halo team 4, repostion your team to the downed chopper, check for suvivours"

The Bullets Bounce of the armor of the BMP with a loud clang. One of the Gunners head is blown open from one of the bullets. The other two gunners turn their 30mm gun to the direction of the bullets and fire.

The commandos had already vacated that postion and more shots ripped into the BMP's

One of the Gunners turns the 30mm Gun to point at the area of the crashed chopper. The sound roars across the land as it explodes on the chopper.

One of teh Commandos was injured as they evaced the injured heli crew

The Field commander of the patrol taps into his Radio. "We have a number of contacts firing down on our position, my brothers send a rain of death and destruction everywhere around this land for the GOD-KING"

The men on the Flak guns quickly raise them to an angle and load bombardment shells. A BMP is destroyed seconds later in the roar of the attack.

"Halo 1 to Halo Major, we need Halo Squadron out here now!" Halo 1 said on a secure line "Locate and destroy Flak guns"

A shell lands near the group that helped the men in the Chopper.

Meanwhile People across the world watch as the President of Sheloc is shot down by a firing squad.

( Unless you were expecting this much resistance I would Evaq and regroup )

"Halo Major to Halo 1, Halo Prime is down, repeat shot to the chest, get there ASAP and try to revive"
Halo 1 muffled the sound as he sneked behind on o the BMP's and jumped aboard knife in hand and in two slick movements cut throats

Then a man walks into the camera shot of the dead President "Attention to all who are watching. My name is not important but I am sure you will find my message most.. disturbing. Thanks to the dead man at my feet we have acquired a stockpile of Nuclear Warheads with long range ballistic missiles. We want the world to lay down their weapons or we will begin firing on key Nations. You have 48 Hours to comply."

One of the men grips his thought as Blood pours though his fingers. With his other hand he raises his gun to the back of the Commando in the BMP. The shot is heard across the area.

"HALO 1 is down, man down" Halo two reported as he dragged the shooter out of the BMP and shot him dead. The commandoes got into the BMP and soared towards the target

A shell hits the side of the BMP as it tries to drive though the bombardment. The Armor is blown inwards and fire seeps though from the explosion.

"Welcome to Red Tide State News, I am Tatiana Kapinski and I am your resident anchorwoman. Today, the nation of Shloc, which borders the TSRT, has fallen into chaos and anarchy, brought about by the nations embracement of the falsehood of democracy and, by extension, a weak and decentralised nation. The National Secretary said today that this was unnacceptable to the TSRT and that the Armed Forces of the State will soon be launching an offensive to restore order to the nation of Shloc..."

Shloc-Red Tidean Border, 30 minutes later...

The MBT-66 'Hydra' Main Battle Tank crashed through the abandoned border gate on the Shloc side of the border. Behind it came another, and then another, and then another. Fanning out across the countryside, the 4,000 armored fighting vehicles and 1,000,000 men of the 4th Army Front of the State Guard, plus its complement of artillery, SAM's, helicopters, and trucks, rolled into the country which had fallen into anarchy.

Along the entire, 30 kilometer border the Guardsmen came. Above them rocketed the Su-30RT Fighters and H/K-1 Surface Attack Aircraft of the State Aero Forces.

Red Tide did not intend to 'restore order', it intended to occupy.

The Reports of the second invasion in the country causes some panic with the untrained forces of the Coup but the old Arab man just smiled and ordered the entire Coup and Terrorist Forces to intercept which includes, 600,000 Trained Solders 2,000 Armored Vehicles mostly old T-72s equipped with AA weapons, The entire AA and Artillery force which only numbered around 500 and a countless number of Untrained men, women, and children.

Skies over Shloc...

Lieutenant Nikolai Gesovich nosed his Su-30RT Fighter towards the ground. He did a momentary weapons check on his armament: six CW-88 'dumb' bombs and two Quick Manueverable Air-Air Missiles on his wingtips. Then he scanned the road he was flying alongside. He had permission to engage 'targets-of-opportunity'. The nations air force had failed to come up to challenge the Red Tidean presence, their planes were probably already burned on the ground and looted.

Nikolai looked through his helmet HUD and spotted a perfect target of opportunity... a column of eight T-72s were heading east, towards the Red Tidean Front that was driving into Shloc. Obviously hostile, and obviously unaware of his presence. He banked and flicked the 'bomb sight switch' on his control panel and a small pip on his screen quickly indicated the bombs predicted flight path.

He nosed over and placed the pip over the column of tanks, then toggled the 'bomb release' switch and, immediatly after, kicked in the afterburners. The six dumb bombs fell like a ball of iron and exploded ontop of the T-72s, leaving them burning wrecks.

Up and down the nation, similar scenes were being played out where armored convoys spotted from the air were annihilated by air assaults. In the event a Surface-Air RADAR was detected, it was quickly destroyed by a High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile(HARM), rendering any attempts at AA defenses useless.

The mobs of soldiers and civilians driving, and being driven, eastward also attracted notice. These mobs quickly found themselves the targets of anti-personnel cluster munitions dropped from an altitude of 30,000 feet, in addition to strafing runs and regular bomb attacks that would leave maimed corpses and shattered vehicles.

The counter-attack was taking casualties, and they had not reached anywhere near the Red Tidean juggernaught steaming into the small nation.

Again the Arabian Man seemed not to be worryed on these new reports and he orders his a large force to break off the main attack and fall back to the location of the hidden silos.

"How many Warheads were made before our attack on this country?" He asked a masked aid near him. "Uh about 14 but we do not have enough to hit 'every' major Nation in the world" The Old man just laughed and said "It does not matter now does it? Prep the warheads"

The Aid gives a bow before he runs into the shadows.

"Mr. President, there is a situation in Sholc which can be very serious if no one responds soon. The country has been overrun by a revolt and there are reports saying something about nuclear warheads and silos on the news. If this is not dealt with soon, a rogue nation may emerge with humanity's most powerful weapon," said the aide.

"Right, schedule a meeting with High Command on defending the nation in case those rogues are feeling trigger happy. I'll have a few air force squadrons prepare to find and destroy all silos and anything that is capable of launching a nuclear weapon. Get the Air Marshal on the line so I can tell him of our predicament."

Later On...
"... and that is why we must act swiftly but cautiously," said the president. "Alright, I'll have the UAVs ready sir,"said the Air Marshal.

Planes were taking off from 2 different airfields near the southern shores of Avalic, all of them were MQ-1C Warriors were going to survey certain areas that would seem remote enough to hide silos.

OOC: How big is the country? I need that to determine the amount of air craft I should send.

OOC: Send about 40, it is a small country. And it is mostly farmland.
Meanwhile...

One of the Hidden Silos opens in a city near the engagement, steam pours from a manhole in the city as the warhead rises from the manhole. A tech runs up to the side of the warhead to open up a panel in the side. After a brief pause he types in a few digits in the keypad. Numbers flash across the side of the keypad as he closed it.


"For the God-King" He mutters before he and the city is consumed by the white fire.

"Mr.President!" Says Gill as she walked through the door.
"Hmm" he said while looking out his window.
"You might want to see this" she said while putting a labtop on his desk.
He looks back and nodices that she was shaking... Fear maybe.
He looks at the bright screen on the labtop.


:BREAKING NEWS:
A few minutes ago in the Contry of Shloc a nukelyer explosion was sighted. Roughly killing thousands... Maybe millions of people. We have reasion to belive that the so called God-King is responseable and has of a unkown ammount of solgers,tanks,and weapons under his control.

About 40 MQ-1C Warriors were over international waters, though a satellite caught a huge amount of heat coming from the country. They entered the airspace of the country where then they split into different directions. Except for a small group of 3 who would investigate the site of the city and scout around for a close silo.

"Da, I see it Colonel, sir..." Major Vladimir Putin said, as he watched the distant mushroom cloud, now beginning to twist out of shape due to windsheer, through his binoculars. Major Putin's Armored Battalion was the lead element closest to the city which had just been destroyed by a nuclear blast. The EMP-pulse from the explosion was creating some interference, but the hardened and secure Red Tidean equipment could communicate right through that.

"I am eight kilometers from the city limits, it is another four to reach the explosions epicenter, I estimate. We are probably are dealing with a first generation device. 30 kilotons maximum. Over." Putin continued.

"I see, other battalion commanders have confirmed your report, Major." Came the Regiment's Colonel, "Continue the advance, but initiate HAZMAT protection, full protocol. You can better serve the State alive then dead after all. The rest of the regiment is behind you. Headquarters, over and out."

"Orders, Major?!" Shouted a tank companies Captain from his commanders position.

Putin nodded his head, "HAZMAT protection, full protocol but continue the advance."

And with that, he dropped himself down into his command seat on his MBT-66. Nodding to his driver, Putin said: "Alright, Vasiliy, continue on."

The Hydra's engine roared and the gears ground forward. Putin looked through a periscope to keep his eyes on the surrounding countryside. The Red Tidean advance ground-on, still meeting little resistance after the State Aero Forces had blunted an unknown factions counterattack against the State Guard.

If this kept up, all of Shloc would be completely under Red Tidean control within the week.

Meanwhile....


As more Silos and Warheads explode all across the country, The old Arabian man sits in is his wooden chair listening to the reports of the other nukes explodeing across the country, smileing he lighty raised from his chair to approch an aide sitting on a computer near him. "Report?" The olderman barked to the masked Aide. "10 of the Nukes went off as planned" He points to a screen showing a wave of green moveing across the country. "If all goes as planned the country while be unable to support life within the week" The Old man smiled and sat back down to wait for his comming doom.

OOC:... that won't happen, unless the country is the size of, say, Luxembourg, in which case it would in no-way have the infrastructure to support nukes.

You hear a slight cracking crackling on your radio.

"Alright men 9 miles from the south east border of Shloc is our temporary bace of operations." An unknown man said sounding in his mid 30's.
"Sir? What happend to the outher one" A women said.
"Are you blind women even the people in the americas could have saw thoughs nukes explode... Our damn payers diddnt say they nuke the whole place causing most of our troop to be obliterated." He replyed
"Well be their in 4 hours sir" she said solftly.

The radio chater was cut off

OOC; Iight, I'll void the entire "You cant live here" thing but 14 nukes going off in citys is gonan fuck up the country, and likey to bring in more Nations, turning this into a massive international conflict. Which is my Terror forces main goal.

ooc: Ahfera, the only point I'd like to make is nukes are pretty much a no-no for any nation of less than 5-6 months old (3 months is sometimes allowed if you have put a lot of your military funding in research and then you start out with just bomber dropped atom bombs. Around 4 months you could RP basic short ranged missiles and hydrogen bombs and around 5 months a basic, in-accurate ICBM. +6 months is the norm to have the funding and population/military that can support Superpower-like nuclear programs)

Just giving advice because I have seen more than one starting nation that was ignore cannoned by the II community for using nukes when the commonly accepted rules are minimlistically 3 months.

OOC: Eh, I understand but, All I did was explode the Warheads in citys. I never used any missles or planes. And becuase Shloc isn't a real Nation I wasn't gonna use the Nukes on other nations for that would be godmod. All I am trying to do is bring other Nations into this conflict to fullfill my Nation's recuritment Goals.

(Also, because this Nation is just a Terror group in MT I prob will never have nothing more then old T-72s )

"Welcome, this is Red Tidean State News in our ongoing coverage of the restoration of order to the former nation of Shloc. The glorius State Guard has continued their drive towards the nations capitol, the city of Herograd, in their noble aim of bringing order and supplies to an embatered population whose situation outside of Red Tidean controlled areas continues to worsen after the detonation of a number of 15 kiloton warheads in cities across the nation."

Above the skies of Herograd...

Lieutenant Gesovich was keeping an eye peeled outside of his Su-30RT, not just in front. Surface-Air Missile Batteries and Anti-Aircraft Artillery inside the capitol city had been decimated by anti air-defense sweeps, so intelligence said, but there was always that chance. Shoulder-mounted SAMs were not a worry, he was currently flying too high for that. It was survivors of the anti air-defense sweeps that worried him.

"This is Redhorse-lead, all callsigns check-in." Came the voice of Gesovich's Captain.

After all the planes had answered in the affirmative, the reply was simple:

"Alright, split into detachment formation and carry out your missions. Over and out."

The aircraft split up from the 12-plane squadron into six 2-plane detachments. Geovich was his detachment lead, his wingman keeping his head on a swivel for enemy aircraft. Gesovich's target was the capitol's surprisingly large main battle tank-depot.

In the idle time after releasing his cluster bombs, Gesovich wondered why the capitol had been spared being nuked, even though thirteen other cities had already gone up in mushroom clouds. Ah welll, as long as ths one did not explode on him.

His GPS-cluster bombs, in the meantime, fell on their pre-designated, sattelite-guided coordinates before blowing open and spraying the tank depot with anti-tank bomblets. The depot was utterly destroyed, filled with the wreckage of T-72 tanks.

The other planes hit communication towers, other weapons depots, fuel dumps, and suspected faction leadership sights in preperation for the inevitable arrival of the Red Tidean steamroller.

"What the hell? Are these planes functioning correctly. Its like they're trying to commit suicide, though, I can't see why, the country's already going to hell," said the Air Marshal.

"All planes were perfect when we sent them off, it is confirmed that there have been 10 nuclear explosions. Our planes were out of the blast range or above them, not like it would have mattered anyways besides a loss in a few million dollars. Should we alert the president of this?" said one of the controllers of the UAV.

"I think we could all feel those tremors when the nuclear weapons exploded. Tell him anyways so he can decide what to do next; damn terrorists."

Sholc Air Space
The nuclear explosions had taken a large portion of land away from sight. It was harder to find silos after sweeping nuclear wasteland after wasteland. Though they were still flying around to look for silos and hopefully give locations to a group of multi role fighters on top of a Avalican aircraft carrier.

OOC: Could you tell me if I found a silo or not?
