The water was still and silent, no movement above the surface or even underneath the waves. The only thing that stopped this from being a peaceful scene was the number of large metal craft cutting through the water. A dozen Rafales kept watch over the fleet, circling over the mass of steel like vultures. Another three were far in front, conducting long range recon.

"Rodger that command. Joker out." The 3 Rafales turned quickly and headed back to meet with the dozen other airborne craft. On the deck of the advancing aircraft carrier, Harrier's began to lift off, joining into formation with the rest of the jets. Admiral Eden, from onboard the VTN Harlqeuin (the Aircraft Carrier) spoke over the fleetwide radio.
"To all forces. We have received confirmation of the invasion, and are cleared for battle. Air units, protect the fleet until we get within range of the enemy fleet and coastal defenses, then I want you Harrier's to put a few holes in them." An orderly queue of confirmations came in. "Naval forces, just shell the hell out of them." More confirmations. "Marines, I don't even need to tell you what to do." A volley of howls and cheers greeted him. He chuckled. "All forces, clear to engage."

It has come to the attention of the Mu Cephei state that war is being made here with no open acts of diplomacy. We find that deploring and request that all parties involved agree to a summit on neutral territory. Mu Cephei is ready to host such a summit if no other neutral zone can be found that is suitable for the cause.
Also, the Mu Cephei state request that the reasons behind this fighting be made open to the public. For as of now the only thing we know of is that Battlehawk and its allies are attacking a pair of small nations without obvious reason, this conclusion was made after several hours of covert surveillance with satellites and other intelligence assets.
The state of Mu Cephei pleads that the nations involved see to reason and bring an end to this fighting.

From Her Royal Majesty, Empress Tara Whyt, Ruler of the Void and Her Colonies
Sir,
the nations of Wolf's Hold and Daniel's Island launched an unprovoked attack on the Republic of Battlehawk. We believe that such attacks of unwarranted agression are flexing of the muscles, if you will, to the international community as a whole. Nations which launch attacks on other soverign states are unpredictable at best and, as such, we are aiding the Republic in fighting back, in protection of our own state.

Admiral Eden came and stood alongside the liason team.

2. Arrange a general PREVENTIVE AND DEFENSIVE mobilization around the borders of our nation.
Finally, we remember the involved nations that any aggression against Valladares, be intentional or involuntary, will force an offensive mobilization and, consequently, a War Declaration against the aggressor.

No, there are no OOC threads. I would suggest you, IC of course, just say something along the lines of "We will not allow ourselves to be manipulated by the evidence clearly fabricated by the Republic of the Battlehawk..." etcetera. It's what the Soviets did during the Cold War, so there's no reason why it can't work in NS as well.

"Get the Geprads Ready!" yelled a Lt Marine to his squad on the beach It wont be long till there here, he thought to himself...
Seahawks flew ahead following the GR4s in a hope to take out the enemy fleet
"Get me the president" shouted captain green
"Missiles, break!" The 10 planes weaved around the missiles shot from the Type 45s. "All right, regroup and ready your Exocets, let put a few holes in those destro- Tindys inbound! Missiles!" The rafales once more tried to dodge, not being as lucky this time. 3 of the planes were struck by the missiles, plummeting down into the sea in fragments and taking the remains their pilots with them. "Fuckers, command, we need more firepower here!"
"Rodger that, main force inbound." Another 20 Rafales joined the fray, engaging the GR4s, while 10 Harriers snuck in low, hugging to the sea, launching Harpoon missiles at the destroyers.
Meanwhile, the fleet began it's operations. The battleships turned into a echelon formation, showing their left and right sides respectively, before opening up with their cannons, throwing 457 mm shells at the enemy while the smaller craft provided missile and anti-missile support.

"All planes, do not pursue, I repeat, do not pursue. They have all kinds of AA there. Wait for the signal from the marines." The landing craft started their path towards the island, each one painted with ensignias, mottos, prayers or curses. One in particular had a horned, yellow smiley face with "fuck you" written underneath. Inside was Infantryman O55462A, or, as he prefer, Sgt. Kairon. As is the marines wont, his armor (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/MarineFootsoldier.jpg) was also emblazoned with symbols (An eye in red paint on his helmet) which marked his squad.
"Okay, final checks time." The marines were calmly checking their weapons and vests before the landing, smooth music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSajHaXt_O8) playing through the radio over the sounds of the shells exploding. Kairon checked the barrel of his M4 before a red light switched on in the lander. The marines stood up as one and faced the door. After a few seconds, the light turned green and the door of the craft slammed down, the marines charging out hollering their war cry (Kyosw!), this scene repeated all the way down the beach.

Upon receiving that message from Admiral Eden, the Salzland fleets took up positions roughly 800 miles off the coast of Daniels Island. With the majority of the enemy's fleet destroyed, it was deemed safe to recall the Virginia-class submarines to the relative safety offered by the carriers and their escorts. They would need to enter a relatively vulnerable position to accomplish the first phase of Salzland's involvement in this strike, and having them do so in the heart of the fleet would greatly reduce the risk to the subs.
On command, all of the Task Force's subs marked their depth ten meters, and began opening the hatches on their Vertical Launch Cells. Each Virginia-class sub maintained twelve such cells, carrying one BGM-109 Tactical Tomahawk cruise missile per cell. Upon Admiral Parker's order, every submarine in the fleet fired its entire complement of missiles at pre-determined strongpoints along the Daniels Island defensive perimeter. By the time they were finished, over 760 missiles were in the air, travelling toward the dug-in enemy forces. The missiles carried a mixed payload; some held cluster submunitions which would wreak havoc among any enemy infantry and light vehicles in the target zones, while others carried conventional explosive warheads. The latter missiles were targeted at enemy command & control facilities, logistics depots, and other hard targets of military significance. The cluster bomblet-carrying missiles were targeted at the densest concentrations of enemy infantry and light vehicles, such as SAM sites and anti-aircraft gun batteries.
This was merely the opening salvo in the Salzland assault. Three hundred Sea Shadow fighters moved up into position to provide air support to the Battlehawk and Void Templar landing forces. These aircraft would remain outside the range of the Daniels Island SAM sites, while intercepting any enemy aircraft threatening the allied fleets. An additional five hundred Sea Shadows remained to provide air cover for the Salzland fleet, while the entirety of the F/A-15 Cardinal strike squadrons prepared for follow-on strikes against enemy targets of opportunity.
Once the roar of the Tomahawks fired by the submarines dissipated, it was time for the surface fleets to fire their first shots of the campaign. Of the five hundred plus combat vessels deployed by the Salzland Navy, three hundred and thirty six were capable of carrying and firing Tomahawk missiles. Again at a precisely synchronized moment, each of those three hundred plus ships rippled off volleys of cruise missiles, at five minute intervals. By the time they were finished, each ship had fired fifteen cruise missiles at additional Daniels Island targets, both along the coast and further in-land. All told, counting the submarines close to six thousand cruise missiles were approaching targets in the nation of Daniels Island.
At this point, the fleet stood to and began the wait for their missiles to begin arriving at their designated targets. Once satellite intelligence provided the information necessary for a Bomb Damage Assessment, follow-on targets would be assigned and struck by the Task Force. In the mean time, Admiral Parker waited for his allies to require further assistance.

(OOC: Sorry this has to be short, but I have to get over to my library's Archives section before they close, so I can do research for a project due Monday. Also, my first paragraph should not be considered a God-mode, because I'm only claiming that something was hit, and leaving exactly what open to Daniels Island. Following a 6,000 missile barrage, its a given that at least one of the missiles will have at least crashed in his country. Also, this should be considered to take place before VT's Marines begin entering the trenches.)
IC:
Following the initial missile salvo, careful satellite scans of the beaches revealed the enemy positions and strongpoints that had emerged un-engaged. Follow-on missile strikes were ordered, as the Salzland fleets began closing with the Daniels Island coast. They would still remain just over 500 miles off-shore, as yet another barrage, this time of just over 3,000 missiles, leapt toward the hostile coastline.
Special priority was given to killing enemy SAM sites, RADAR sites and anti-aircraft batteries. Strikes were also launched at nearby airfields, with Tomahawks carrying cluster bomblet sub-munitions set on delayed detonation timers. That meant that rather than explode on impact, the bomblets would detonate over the course of several hours, preventing Daniels Island air forces from operating out of their runways until the bomblets were all cleared, or risk valuable aircraft being destroyed when they ran over the bomblets on take-off. The end result would be the same; should this missile strike be successful, all of Daniels Island's regional military air bases would be shut down for at least a short while.
Clearing the skies of enemy aircraft and anti-air systems was the first step in the Salzland Joint Strike plan. Already the second step was being prepared; half of the F/A-15 Cardinal strike fighters on the carriers were being loaded to capacity with a mixture of Mark 77 "Napalm" bombs for use on the entrenched enemy infantry, CBU-97 anti-vehicle cluster bombs, CBU-100 area-effect cluster bombs, and a pair of AIM-9X Sidewinders each. With overhead scans of the enemy defenses plotted, flight plans were developed allowing this strike package to literally fly directly along the enemy trenches, dropping napalm and cluster bombs down the lines, killing anything that stayed in place.
The remaining half of the strike aircraft were equipped with a mixture of AGM-65 Hellfire missiles, AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles (designed specifically to home in on activated RADARs used to control SAM sites and AA guns) and a pair of AIM-9X Sidewinders as well. A hundred 'Sea Shadows' would detach from the group providing cover for the Battlehawk and Void Templar fleets in order to provide additional protection from aerial threats. This strike would proceed immediately after the second round of cruise missiles hit the enemy's air defenses and hopefully removed them from the game, permanently.

OOC: Daniels, the only helicopters that you've deployed which are capable of anti-air operations are the Apaches, which can mount Stinger missiles (and perhaps Sidewinders) if my recollections are correct. What I would suggest you do is take the Blackhawks and SeaHawks (which generally have only miniguns to use for anti-air operations), and use them to begin evacuating Infantry from your costal positions before they're over-run. You can then bring them into your cities and use them as garrisoning forces, which would be better than letting them be massacred on the beaches.
As for the Apaches, I would move them off of your air bases and to somewhere that there are clearings accessible by road. For example, state parks or some such. They would be harder to detect there, and because of the roads you could bring in fuel trucks/ammo resupply, and have the helicopters operate hit and run attacks against VT and Battlehawk armor. Rather than have them be swatted out of the sky by my aircraft, with no chance to retaliate, once I start shooting off AIM-120-D AMRAAMs at them from 80 miles away.

The explosions tore into the fleet, sinking three frigates and a destroyer putting 2 destroyers out of commission and damaging the battleships. Onboard, the crews scrambled to seal off the decks below the waterline and pump out the water before the craft capsized.
"Get rescue craft off to those sinking ships and bring the survivors back!"
Even more marines lay dead, but the rest were simply encouraged by this, surging forward after the enemy. Now that it was relatively safe, another wave of landing craft headed for the beach. When they landed, mixed in with the standard marines were flamethrower infantry to clear out the trenches, all of the soldiers jeering at the enemy, shouting promises of death and telling them to surrender.

Upon spotting the Battlehawk Shades, he made his way over, giving his end of the strecher to a passing marine and saluted.
"Staff Sgt. William Kairon sir." He looked at a nearby corpse, a marine still clutching his gun who had lost both his legs to one of the buried bombs and, judging by the blood trail, had dragged himself forward a few meters before finally dying. "What's your first impression of the boys, if you don't mind me asking?" Just behind him, a squad of marines were huddled around a group of dead DI marines, checking them for any watches or valuables.

We have returned wolf hold forces to there home nation to defend their country in this time of war, and we are willing to lay down our arms and solve this formally... we are willing to enter talks where the leaders of your fine nations may talk things through with us, rather than us and your nations suffer the loss of more lives...
If However your nations are not willing to compromise there are bigger nations willing to come to our Aid...
Against advice from our Allies the Wolf Hold we find it neccersary to surrender
With that the president stepped down from the podium
The Wolf Hold
21-02-2009, 01:40
The 1st Wolf's Marshall couldn't belive what he was hearing, he repeatdly re wound the program and watched it again and again and again. He couldn't draw himself away from the headline at the bottom of the Wolf Holds Central News channel, "Daniels Island Surrenders, Wolf Hold Stands Alone". Slumping in his chair the Marshall drank a large shot of vodka and began ranting "God damn cowards, they assist us, cause the most damage on the airbase raid and then when a few marines die they surrender! God damn cowards! I will rember this untill the day I die Daniels!" He continued to rant for the next several minutes illuding to the parentage of the Daniels Islands president and to the education level of there high command. However after composing himself and another shot of vodka he sent out an offical press release.
Press Release From Central Command Of the Wolf Hold
It saddens us to hear that our brothers in arms have abondoned us to fight of these nations by our selves however we recognise there reasons for doing so. We will continue diplomatic relations with the Daniels Islands if they continue to exist after their surrender. Also a message to our enemys the DIs surrender will not weaken our resolve, we will use every weapon, every missile, every bomb in our arsenal to defeat you, we will never surrender even if it leaves our country a smoldering ruin!

To: The Government of Daniels Island
From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
CC: Coalition Nations, Nations of the World
To Whom It May Concern,
Having received your request for a cease-fire to discuss surrender terms, be advised that Salzland forces in the region will be postponing offensive operations until such time as either a diplomatic solution is reached, or the cease-fire rescinded. Full defensive readiness will still be maintained. At this time, we are unwilling to discuss full surrender terms until we are able to conduct high-level diplomatic consultations with our allies in this matter, though at this time we believe that it would be in the best interests of the broader international community for Daniels Island to maintain complete territorial integrity.
Signed,
J. Marcus Davis

(OOC: Should Allanea reply to my question in his A-61 Nukes For Sale thread by saying that the order records are Secret In-Character, consider this message to instead assume that the Wolf Hold membership in the Nuclear Coalition resulted in it acquiring at least one nuclear weapon)
To: The Armed Republic of the Wolf Hold
From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
CC: Coalition Nations, Nations of the World
Having noted your recent press release, the Armed Republic feels compelled to remind the Armed Republic of the Wolf Hold that any use of nuclear weapons on your part will likely result in the extermination of your country. As no Salzland forces are currently operating in your theater, you need not consider this message a threat. We are not at risk from these weapons, thus we have no need to threaten your nation.
Instead, consider this message to be exactly what we intend it to be; a warning. A nuclear attack carried out by your forces will prompt the nations opposing you to respond in kind, with arsenals that dwarf that of your state. Your country will not survive such an action.
Rather than commit such a barbaric act and face the inevitable retaliation, accept peace negotiations, preserve your nation and its sovereignty, and live to participate in the international community.
Signed,
J. Marcus Davis

As they went inside the room, The floor was made of a very expensive oak, along with a long oval shaped expensive oak table... large plasma tv's mounted the walls and behind the head chair at the end of the table the Lion and the British flag mixed as one into Daniels Island Flag..

Dear Sirs,
Having received your message, we are glad that a mutually beneficial cease-fire has been reached in this conflict. While we unfortunately do not have a diplomatic official of sufficient rank to treat directly with your nation, I have been authorized to wire you our conditions directly. Please be assured that they are not harsh, as a punitive peace is in no one's best interests.
Condition One: The Nation of Daniels Island agrees to stand down its military force, to a level of peace-time readiness.
Condition Two: The Nation of Daniels Island agrees to make reparations payments to the Republic of the Battlehawk for damages dealt during the attack on the RBS Valley air base. Said reparations payments will be made regularly, during a time frame to be determined by negotiators from The Battlehawk and Daniels Island.
Condition Three: Under no circumstances will any territory, province, commonwealth, state, city, town or any sovereign entity belonging to the nation of Daniels Island be partitioned from said nation and offered as "payment" for the nation of Daniels Island entering into any foreign alliance, or as "compensation" (in any form or word choice) which could be interpred to exist in a final treaty document.
Condition Four: Any dead, wounded, "missing" soldiers or prisoners of war belonging to Coalition nations being held by the Daniels Island will be returned to their nation of origin. Should the dead be unidentified, the Armed Republic of Salzland (along with any Coalition nations so willing) will provided funds necessary to secure transportation to, and proper burials for these individuals in, Salzland.
Condition Five: Any civilians belonging to Coalition nations will likewise be turned over to their nations of origin and freed to leave, should they so desire.
Condition Six: Upon consultations with the nations of Void Templar and The Battlehawk, this list of conditions may change before presentation as a final peace treaty.
We hope the preceeding list meets with your approval, so that we might reach a lasting peace that much faster.
Signed,
J. Marcus Davis
Minister for Foreign Relations

I'll be brief. You've seen our conditions by now. Salzland's intent is to bring this matter to a close as quickly and painlessly for all involved as possible.
That being said, should Daniels Island begin making reparations payments, then fall behind or stop payments due to a good faith cause (which will be determined by the Armed Republic of Salzland), then I am authorized to confirm to you that Salzland will finish making payments on behalf of Daniels Island, in the form of a zero-interest loan for the amount outstanding. We will then negotiate with Daniels Island a re-imbursement plan that their economy and national budget can meet.
We've won the war, now we must do our utmost to win the peace.
