"We gladly accept the offers of military assistance form the nations of Elijah Islands and New Larzanziba, we are grateful for their cooperation" says King David the III in a news conference broadcast around the world. "The response of nations in the region has also been overwhelming, in intelligence, and cooperation in freezing bank accounts and assets of the WLF in their nations." "General Micheals will be heading the multinational military task force, we can not state what our plans are yet, but the response will be swift"
(General Micheals awaits outside the Tax Bureau building), "Lt. Garcia, have the foreign forces arrived yet?" "Yes sir", they just arrived at the air base, about 1,000 of the best soldiers the cooperating nations have to offer, they will be here in about 20 minutes". (Gen. Micheals) "Let's get ready, we'll start Operation Lightning in about an hour, secure the vicinity, evacuate every building within 2 miles, make sure all civilians are out of the area"
"Yes, Sir!"
