Major Raid on Azilstani Terrorist Training Centers


(written by Shura Barkhov)
In a joint effort between Straznuk Sturma and Military Intelligence Agents a major plot to overthrow the Toopoxican Goverment was foiled today.
IndentAt 3:00AM (estimate) Straznuk Sturma entered an approximate twelve private residences in Volitaia and Naibe, suspected to be involved with the terrorist group, the Azilstani Workers Union, the raid was successful with all those believed to be involved arrested.
IndentIn the particular case of 78 Liberty Mansions a weapons cache was found and is believed to be the largest found since the 1988 Toopoxican-Azil War.
IndentStraznuk officers also found evidence that the Terrorist group had been forging legal Toopoxican documents, including Passports and Work Slips, though not at liberty to discuss further, the Internal Department will be working to find and expell those who may have enterred Toopoxia under a false passport.
IndentMilitary Intelligence Officers have yet to confirm either the identity of those involved and that of their intended target, they have assured Toopoxican citizens that whatever they were planning has been prevented, but that it should not stop dilligence, if you suspect an Azil terrorist please ring the number below.

AWP Reinstigates Toopoxican Hostilities

(written by Vafolomey Milan)
In a desperate and cowardly response to the arrest of twenty seven of their agents, Azilstani Workers Party activists have returned hostility to the Azil Corridor seperating the two nations, early this morning Toopoxican Military bases along the border were awoken to the sounds of Mortar and Small Arms fire as the AWP Mob attempted to release Toopoxican hold over the area.
IndentToopoxican Military response later that morning resulted in the Air bombardment of abandoned war-time Azilstani weapons caches, bunkers and fortresses, believed to be sheltering AWP members, increased pressure has been placed on the Azilstani goverment to clean out their country of hostile groups such as the AWP whilst continued Toopoxican intelligence attempts to moniter the group.
IndentAs yet, no plans have been announced officially to perform military actions against the Azilstani goverment for this and other recent actions which have risked Toopoxican stability, Premier Waldemir Deskot has assured the populace that actions are being taken to "Prevent further hostile actions of the AWP, with minimal loss of human life on both sides."

Trial of Azil 27 Ends, Verdict: Guilty

(written by Shura Barkhov)
The long trial of the suspected Azil Terrorists whose machinations included the overthrowing of the Toopoxican goverment through the destruction of internal bodies, has come to an end today, the verdict was guilty on all accounts of a variety of crimes, six members of the group have been sentenced to death for Conspiracy to Overthrow the Toopoxican Goverment, Possession of Firearms without Licence, Construction of Improvised Weapons and Organising Societies whose aim is to Overthrow or Hinder the Toopoxican Goverment.
IndentThe other 21 men in the incident have been sentenced with terms as long as Life Sentence with no parole, the majority having been given Life Sentence with chance to parole after 20 years and immediate Exile upon release.
IndentThis sentencing is bound to cause uproar in the AWP who have been campaigining hard to have the Azil 27 released into Azilstani courts, a statement by Waldemir Deskot earlier responded to these fears by assuring citizens that "A major attack on Toopoxia as a result of this sentence will be met with immediate and unremitting response!" No word or confirmation has been announced by members of the AWP confirming an attack.

The rigid reinforced titanium gates slid open, the Straznuk motor vehicles passed through the intense security around the Imperial House first, leading in front of the black armoured car of the Toopoxican premier, a crowd stood with wooden placades blocking the pavement outside the goverment building, the yellow streetlights dotted around illuminating the faces of the discontented Azil protesters, their presence tolerated barely by the Straznuk who surrounded them, keeping them positioned solely at the edge of the road.
IndentWaldemirs escort continued, passing by the furious crowd, Waldemir looked back long enough to see the Straznuk hold the Azil back, attempts to disperse the crowd would have to wait, the Azil had already suffered enough to warrant a terror attack on Toopoxia, "I am assuming that our diplomatic efforts to cool this situation have failed." Waldemir stated, his foreign minister nodded, "It is a shame that my Premiership should have to face such hostility, but if there is no alternative we ought to be ready for the military consequence."
IndentThe convoy stopped, the glowing red of the traffic lights reflected onto the tinted window surface, Waldemir sat uncomfortably looking out of the windows, the red turned to yellow and the car still sat, "Why have we stopped?" He asked, the light then turned to green and the convoy remained, "Mr Josue." He leant forwards to approach the driver, "What's going on?" He looked out the window, the Straznuk officers ahead had now disembarked from their motorbikes and were approaching a man, Waldemir reached for the passenger side door, calmly exiting the car.
IndentImmediatly the man pointed at Waldemir, "Fascist!" He cried, "Fascists! You deserve to die!" The Straznuk officers were approching the man slowly, trying to defuse him calmly, "Free the Azil twenty seven!" He cried again, pulling a hand grenade from his belt, Waldemir ducked as the Straznuk opened fire, he heard the thud as the man hit the floor.
IndentIdentifiable clumps of heavy booted footsteps rang out into the empty nights street, Waldemir looked up at the Straznuk officer who attempted to stand Waldemir up, "What's going on?" He asked, dazed, The officer pushed Waldemir in front of him as they made their way to the side of the street, he looked back seeing the other Straznuk officer attempt to guide both Mr Josue and Minister Aldric out of the car, Waldemir elt the sudden intense heat and loud confusion which came a second later as the grenade exploded beneath the car, rushing flames and shrapnel about the place and setting off a thousand car alarms, Waldemir lay motionless on the ground, struggling to retain sobriety as his mind juggled with pain, he took a breath and found his chest roaring with pain causing him to scream and release his grasp on conciousness.

(written by Yermaloi Nestor)

IndentWaldemir was rushed to Volitaia General Hospital in order to stabilise his condition alongside Officer Faddei Yullian who passed away during surgery, the Premier was given a stable condition before being transferred to a private clinic in North Volitaia.
IndentToopoxican order of succession leaves the Intelligentia council to lead the Goverment until emergency elections can be organised, front runner for candidacy is Minister of Order Arseni Germain, who has announced his intentions to run for Premiership, it's understood that in any case further military action will be taken against the Azilstani Workers Party.

(OOC: Quiet bump)

"Mr Deskot." An eldery man turned, the brown liver spots on his head contorted by his wrinkled and palid face, "Your son is in a stable enough condition." Deskot coughed as he walked over to the smartly dressed doctor, "Unfortunantly he does not have much to wake up for, the fact he was put into a coma means that severe mental trauma is a certainty."
IndentThe elder Deskot looked through the window on the door at his enfeebled son, "Is he in pain?" Deskot asked, holding back a large flood of tears emerging in the corners of his eyes.
Indent"He ought to be." The doctor muttered, "He also suffered three broken ribs and pulmonary contusion from the incident." He had a clipboard in his hands as he read out the list, "Fortunantly the majority of the wounds inflicted were passed onto Straznuk Officer Faddei Yullian."
IndentDeskot sharply looked away, "He's a hero, tell his family I said that." Deskot put his saggy hands to his eyes, rubbing them intensly, "Do what has to be done, my son would not want to be exempt from the law." Deskot turned again to look at the lifeless limp body of his son, the Premier.
Indent"Sir." The doctor nervously put his hand on Deskot's shoulder, "I can't take him off life support." The doctor confessed, "In accordance with the temporary governing Intelligentia Council's decision, Waldemir Deskot is to remain on life support indefinantly until announced by the Council." Deskot wiped the tears from his eyes, "I'm sorry."

Premier Arseni Germain Sworn in

(written by Vilen Miroslav)
Favoured candidate for the succession of Premiership, Arseni Germain, has been in sworn in by the Intelligentia Council, the vote was unanimous after a deliberation lasting three hours.
IndentArseni has already given his acceptance speech to a large crowd gathered at Volitaia Gardens, security was high at the Gardens following recent events, in his speech Germain asserted his will to take revenge on those behind the attacks on the Toopoxican leadership, specifically mentioning being "on the cusp of warfare" (full transcript below)
IndentSuspision over whether these threats would be followed up was confirmed when the Defense Department found orders to begin mobilisation of units in the North East of the Country.

Toopoxicans, we stand on the cusp of warfare, our old enemies return to hurt and destroy us all, I say they shall not be allowed to do so, through the knowledge that they are weak cowards I say it is time we end their oppressive terrorism against our lands, I say it is time we take the initiative against them, under my reign I will allow us to perform this task.
IndentAs we have endured for the past two thousand years, the struggles our nation has passed through will spur us onwards, for is this any worse a situation than that of our Civil War? Or our foundation out of the anarchy that was left from those who begat us, we are those who have faced adversity and conquered it, and those who shall use it against our enemy.
IndentThe Azil demand we collapse under their weight, under their cowardice and blood thirst, I say we shall make them collapse under our own strength, will and honour, the tenants of my tragic predecessor will be emblazoned onto our national spirit as we drive back the Azil and ensure that they realise our superior determination to remain strongly united!

OOC: Looks like a good RP.

A Small Resturant, Yever, Azilstan

Our Man on the Inside, that was what he called himself, or at least that's how he had been called by the Intelligence Agents, nobody paid much due to a French migrant of Toopoxican nationality, especially when they didn't know about the Toopoxican part, he mused quietly over the surroundings of the street, the Straznuk Skriven agents overlooking either end, waiting for the informant to arrive.
IndentA man casually sat at the table beside Inside, the Toopoxican looked around, taking his sunglasses off to assess the man, "This is our man." A voice clearly spoke over his earpiece, "Don't startle him." Inside turned, looking at the man.
Indent"Do you have the time?" Inside asked.
IndentThe man gave him a suspicious glance, "Yah sure." He looked at his watch, "It is four in the afternoon." The man responded, still glaring at Inside suspiciously.
IndentInside looked at his own silver watch, he knew it was perfectly on time but still held it to his ear, "Damn thing must be broken." He stated word perfectly.
IndentThe man relaxed a little, "And I'm guessing from your timepiece that you are Our." Inside nodded, the two men grabbed their local papers and headed inside the resturant, Inside gave a casual glance at the man behind the bar, he lifted the access hatch walked into the back room, the informant following behind.
IndentThey both sat, either end of a poorly built splintering pine table, "We're cutting it fine, your help so far has led us to this point but if we're going any further I need to know everything you know about the AWP, understood?" The man nodded, Inside took a tape recorder from behind him and laid it on the table, pushing the record buttons, "Good, everything from now."

Toopoxican Military Unit Head Quarters

It was a brightly lit room, not enough to strain the eyes but enough to clearly see the computer screens of the thousand hive workers tapping away, each one on important operation to defend the homeland and source out the dangers to its existence, be they foreign or internal, "Sir, intelligence report from Operation Deskot." The tall man in the center of the operation turned, lucky he was down here to inspect the troops.
Indent"Good." The man said, "Good this is just what we were looking for." He flicked through the sheets, "Inform advanced recon, their operation just went from stealth to interception, inform fighter wing A, payload is to be dropped on new co-ordinates." The man rushed off, hurridly willing to serve.

The Azil Corridor

Attack helicopters rushed over the heads of the Straznuk advanced recon team, their position had not yet been made along the mountains of the Azil corridor and their defences continued to be built higher the longer the AWP procrastinated, fortunantly soon the Straznuk rear echelons would meet with this position and the next assault could begin.
IndentA single UAV, its white base just slightly confusing the enemy with its appearance as a bird, flew in towards the base, it would soon sit upon the lower camp nearer the foothills, closer to flatter land, "Good, advanced recon complete, relay this information back to base." Corporal Yivgeny instructed, the troop, already in motion of constructing defences, began to follow their assigned objectives.
IndentAnother wing of fighter bombers flew back from over the mountains, back from a successful campaign, the Straznuk knew where to hit the AWP the hardest, they had targetted most of their ground installations, the really difficult ones were the below ground caves, mostly dotted around the mountains and cliffs of the Corridor, they required the precision of the Advanced Recon.
IndentThe Corporal bursted out of the tent, "Vacations over, I have word from HQ, confirmation that the AWP and the Azilstani goverment is in collusion, our new objectives are to sieze emplacements recently targetted by bomber crews and hold our position until the rear echelon arrives." A commanding roar followed as the crew got their pack together, mounting up their equipment and moving on, leaving the heavily dug foxholes for the next crew.

Somewhere in the Azil Sea, Toopoxican Amphibious Unit

A head ducked over the sea line, instantly dissapearing into the clear tropical waters outside of the military base, a pool of light swung around just missing the soldier, this attack was two fold, an attack from the waters which would cripple the enemy Air defences, followed up by an air assault on the base to destroy its thick garrison of warships.
IndentThe silent wire cutters sliced into the thick banded metal netting preventing swimming into the base whilst a second group raised through the flank located to the eastern beaches of the city, though both would require some time to fully accomplish, the air attack was expected at three AM, plenty of time to complete this operation.
IndentSome time later the swimmers made it onto land, their compadriots from the beaches would be heading in now, their targets deeper into the city, the targets of the first group were the SAM positions sat near the fleet, quietly the Marines encircled the mobile positions, grabbing their enemy violently and without noise to silence them forever, charges were placed and the two teams headed towards the checkpoint closer to Toopoxican lines.

Somewhere in the Luni Foothills, Straznuk Advanced Recon

The bases erected by the AWP in some haste had now been completely wiped from existence, burst sandbags were scattered about the camp, former fires now just released a thin trail of smoke into the deep blue night skies, mortars and assault rifles were tossed around laying close to their former owners.
Indent"Alpha, watch for booby traps." The Colonel ordered over the radio, "Beta, once Alpha is complete, take position on the East Wall." The teams split off into their requested operations, Alpha moving slowly across the camp looking at every inconsistency which could hint at a trap.
Indent"Clear." The call came from over the radio, "Beta moving in!" The beta team moved over to the far wall, removing missile launchers and mortars from out of their kit, "ETA of Marines, 0100 hours, act sharp."
