Statement by Chanceller Palpentine

I am outraged by the fact that South Defese is building up its army, its cries of budget cuts and starving soldiers are obviously a ploy. The South just wants nations to give it free guns so they may aim them at *our* cities!

If South Defese continues its military buildup, we will consider the cease-fire null and void.

So we give this ultimatum to South Defese:

Dis-continue the build up of your armed forces, or the cease-fire will be ended, and trade sanctions will be enacted.

Im sure Pandid is well aware that her people cant survive without food being shipped in from Cerska farms, and if she does not end her build up, all routes leading into South Defese will be cut off, which means South Defese will not receive food, oil, paper, or any other imported goods.

We will also enact a naval bock-aide on Port Meag, it being the only active port able to recieve ships, in order to prevent from South Defese gaining any arms from other nations.

I will take any action, even force, to ensure South Defese does not become a threat to North Defese interests.

ooc: THAT WAS FAST

As one of our defence contractors is supplying ships to South Defence, Namely 2 Otter Class LPDs supplied by Wolverine Defence Corporations/heay Industries. We shall be escorting our ships into Port Meag, if these ships are fired upon or delayed in anyway, shape or form by your navy, we will consider it a hostile act also if you continue this un-preovoked agression against South Defence we feel we will have no choice but to set place sanctions upon you and consider further action.

Two North Defesian Cruisers, the Republik and Repentant will be supporting the battleship Glory.
If you attempt to dock at port, your ships will be stopped, and the weapons confiscated.
If you do not stop, or if you open fire, the ships have permission to fire.
It would not be wise for a ship brimming with ammunition to face off against a battleship and three cruisers.

From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland

Following recent statements by the [sic] 'Chanceller' of North Defese, the Armed Republic wishes to announce that should any economic embargo be placed on the nation of South Defese by the nation of North Defese, the Armed Republic will make up the difference in any commodity shortfalls, at existing price points with regard to prices paid for equivalent North Defese goods and services. We see no reason why the South Defese people should be denied the right to defend themselves, or any reason why they should face starvation for wishing to protect their nation.

You think 2 cruisers and a battleship will stp the 6th Fleet? The 2 Norad-Class Super Battleships will be enough to blow them out of the water. Look we have no real quarrel here, let us deliver our ships and be done with it. If we see reason to interven further in then we will but at the moment we only wish to ensure the saftey of our companies.

To: Surpeme Chancellor Palpentine
From: Maj. General Erik Hohenzorn and Commodore Vaasco Mendoza, Federal Armed Forces

We have been supplying South Defense with food and oil for some time now.

In light of your threat of blockade of Port Meag, we have decided it wise to escort our most recent shipment of food and oil with the battlecruiser FNS Muscle Shoals and a warning that attempting to close the port to our humanitarian aid and commerce will be regarded as hostile acts!

For this reason, we request that you reconsider your unilateral ban on shipments of oil and munitions into South Defense.

Please note that should you disregard our statement regarding ship interdiction, we have a reasonable force ready to correct such wrongs.

Please also note that our nation is under general mobilization at this point in time. It is quite possible for forces to be redirected should you not stand down.

Thank you, and enjoy your day.

To: To Nations it may concern
From: Supreme Chanceller Palpentine

You do not understand the hate South Defese has towards our nation. As soon as the weapons are deilivered, and the training complete, they will begin an assault on Northern territory.
It has happened before, it will happen again.

We will lift the embargo, but if South Defese any aggressive action, I will order the launch of B-52 Stratofortress's to lay waste to the Southern Military, and industrial complex.

Please note that the food and oil ban is still in place, the Cerska farms will not be allowed to ship food across the border, and the military has been dispatched to patrol the border.
All oil piplines leading into South Defese have been shut down, along with 2 power plants in North Defese territory, which were supplying power to the South.

To: Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
From: Office of the High Councilor

It is the view of the people of Takaram that every nation has the right to defend itself. South Defese has that right just as much as North Defese, Takaram, or Wolf Hold. Takaram has plans to offer supplies and food to the South Defese, and any action taken by North Defese against South Defese while Takaram citizens are on the ground will be seen as a hostile action, and we will respond in kind. Likewise, any actions taken by Wold Hold in response to an attack by North Defese on the Wolf Hold ships will be supported by Takaram.

Subject: The North/South Defese situation

I would like to express my full support to the nation of North Defese in this embargo and any action they take to prevent massive military build-ups on their closest border. We have suffered many times and the hands of our neighbours when my ancestors foolishly sat by and let those countries build their arms and muster forces. Any action taken by North Defese is hereby fully supported by the McLeodian Empire.

To Supreme Chancellor Palpentine
From Col.General Erik Hohenzorn; Commander of Reserve Expeditionary Army

Due to the food and oil ban being left in place, we must reiterate our earlier promise: ANY attempt to hinder our humantiarian shipments to South Defese will be regarded as hostile acts and, should you refuse to stand down even then, can be construed as acts of war against the Fanboyist Federation.

Speaking as a military man, I may point out that the mobilized divisions under my command are itching to see action against Reds, but, if so required, they will happily forget the distinction between any enemy of the state and the Reds. I suggest from one man to another that you stand down on this.

Battlecruiser Muscle Shoals will still be guarding the shipments, now aided by battlecruiser FNS Nicea.

Likewise, any military actions taken by Wolf Hold and Takaram in response to an attack by North Defese on any of our three nation's ships will be supported, and quite probably augemented by, the Federal Armed Forces.

To: Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
Subject: Armament of South Defese

The Principality of Belkaland is aware of what is going on between the nations of North & South Defese and what we have seen is disturbing at the very least.

From Recon satellites, we have seen that the military of South Defese is in great disrepair. Not only are they left fighting with extremely outdated weapons, they have been forced to work with less than half of what is needed to properly defend their nation. The fact that they've been able to force a cease-fire is tribute to their amazing capacity to operate under extreme conditions.

Also, if the nation of North Defese launches an offensive into South Defese, Belkaland will move to protect the South. However, if it is the South that launches an offensive, they too will face the Belkalandian military.

To ensure that the peace remains in the region, the Belkalandian Kaiserliche Marine has deployed the 2nd Naval Fleet(Consisting of 1 Ford-class Carrier, 4 Winston-Class Cruisers, 6 Zumwalt-Class Destroyers, 12 Horizon-Class Frigate, & 2 Virginia-Class SSN) to protect the sealanes.

From: 1st Wolf's Marshall Cain
Subject: South Defese Naval Blockade


In light of the recent lowering of the military embargo to South Defence we thank you for not rsiking open conflict over this matter. However the more serious matter of you blockading Humaniatarian ships has arisen. We can not in good consious see the point in blockading food and oil, when military ships can transport it just as easily. So in light of this, we request a full lowering of the Embargo to both food, oil and military vessels.

To ensure the safe passage of all ships into the nation of South Defence, Central Command has detailed elements of the 4th Fleet under Wolf's Admiral Jacobs to ensure that all ships be they humanitarian or military are given safe passage. The Fleet Combat group consists of: WHS Harbinger- Norad-Class Super Battleship(Flag), WHS Bunker-Ultra-Class Battle Carrier, WHS Red Fang-Wolf-Class Battleship/Commandship, 2x Kirov-Class Battlecruiser, 7 Aegis-Class Cruisers, 10 Oliver Hazard Perry-Class Frigates

ANY attempt to stop any and all ships uder our protection will be seen as hostile acts!

OOC: I'm just trying to figure out if the Stabilizing South Defese thread has been retconned, in which case I'm not getting involved beyond sending in humanitarian aid.

OOC: Wow, i'd hate to live in the Wolf Hold. No wonder everyone is starving when you have super-battleships and super-carriers to throw around at petty squabbles.

IC:

<McLeodian Royal Palace>

"My Liege, the Defese situation appears to be escalating. It would appear outside forces are attempting to break the blockade by force to provide weapons to the South Defesians." said Sea Lord James Hilton, CINC of all McLeodian naval forces. "I recommend we deploy forces now as a shwo of our commitment to our word"

"Very well Hilton, what do you have nearby?" replied King Michael.

"Well sir, the Third Fleet is currently on manouvres just a few days sail away, so we can route them nearby on a training exercise. Their tanker support is running dry, but we can dispatch another group from the Home Fleet to meet up with them and keep the fleet supplied. Ground support in the region is limited to the Fleets own Marines at the moment, but we can deploy larger numbers in a couple of days by air, with heavier support arriving in around two weeks by sea. Air coverage is, as expected of the RAF, capable of providing support to the Third for as long as required." HIlton said, reading from his datapad.

"Make it so"


<International Waters, 1,050 nm from Port Meag>

The entire Third Fleet was arrayed across nearly a hundred miles of ocean. The single largest deployment of McLeodian naval vessels in recent memory, they had been running war games practicing how to combine the Fleets four main elements, two full Carrier Battle Groups and two Combat Patrol Groups. The numbers involved were scary, and the sheer volume of firepower easily outweighed that of a small nation like South Defese ten-fold.

Almost as one, the group deviated course, steaming at a steady 25 knots towards Defese and, if provoked, war.

<International Waters>

Admiral Francis Robins stood on the bridge of the HMS Elizabeth as she plowed onwards through the gentle swell of the sea. She was one of just ten McLeodian carriers, all named for previous Queens. An old ship, the Elizabeth had seen conflict more times than Robins cared to remember, but she was a survivor. Her aircrew were widely considered the best in the Fleet Air Arm, and scooped nearly full sweeps of the trophies at the Blue Cup war games held annually. At 475,000 tons displacement, she was easily the largest ship regularly deployed by the Navy, and with her full compliment of aircraft, she could decimate targets over a thousand miles away.

Robins was in command of the entire Third Fleet, and had chosen the Elizabeth as his flagship for the duration of this voyage. But just two miles away, holding position slightly aft and to the port, was her sister ship HMS Mary, another carrier. Arrayed around him for nearly fifty miles in all directions were the sleek grey hulls of escort vessels. Two enormous Duke-class battleships, their deck guns capable of immense salvos of shells over vast distances, six Legion-class battlecruisers, designed to combat the swathe of capital vessels that tainted the oceans these days, two of the exotic Lance-class theatre-defence cruisers that carried anti-ballistic missile laser systems as part of their payload. Two aviation cruisers, four guided missile cruisers, twelve ASuW destroyers, sixteen AA destroyers, thirty-two ASuW frigates, twenty-four AA frigates, sixteen minesweepers, and twenty-six submarines of various classes. 'This is mind-boggling' thought Robins. He had no idea quite how it had been decided that such a small task required such an overstatement of power. No doubt someone somewhere wanted to get into a dick-measuring contest and win. "Well," he said to no one in particular, "they don't call me tripod for nothing."

With a roar the first CAP flight shot off the flight deck below him, climbing on a tail of fire into the bright blue cloudless sky. Woe betide anyone who thought they could reach him.

ooc: sorry, I'm just posting quick stuff, and don't have time to explain, I'm in the middle of something else right now.

No he isn't overestimating,and yes he can have 6 fleets,due to CISFOR/CISNAV troops,but he chooses not to deploy them as he obviously prefers not to RP fights with numerical superiority as he is a very good tactitian.

To Whom it may concern:

As tensions have escalated in the North-South Defese affair, we have now placed the entire Reserve Expeditionary Army on high alert. We would ask that North Defese and its ally(ies) take care to not cause a change in said army's name to "Defese Expeditionary Force."

Admiral Hilton looked at the broad digital map display in the centre of the room, watching as the latest information was highlighted on the map, with the new forces bracketed in red, with range, heading, and speed all overlayed on top of them. His own group was marked blue, now just two hundred miles from the coast, putting them within strike range of any targets of opportunity.

Hilton spoke into the ship-to-ship intercom that linked him to the fleet. "All vessels, Admiral Hilton. Bring up search radars, set sonars to scan. Safeties off all weapons, all hands to action stations, prepare to engage. Commanders, pick your first targets, prioritising Belkaland and Wolf Hold forces. If provoked, strike hard and strike first.

From: HRH King Michael XIX

Sirs,

We have sufficient evidence to proove that the attack warned of by United Gordonopia is false. No cruise missiles or bombers have been launched by North Defese in any direction, let alone at South Defese. Stand down your forces now. Any engagement of North Defese forces will meet with the full retaliation of the McLeods.

May I also take the opportunity to implore you all to think about what sort of nation you are supporting. They have broken the terms of an agreed peace treaty, effectively torn it up and thrown it back at North Defese, and you say they are the victims? We have a children's story in my country of an ancient country called Jerma Knee who once did the same thing after a Great War. All the countries around them supported Jerma Knee in this, and did nothing to stop them, despite having lost millions of men in the War. What happened next was inevitable. Jerma Knee attacked and invaded almost all of its surrounding nations, and it led to another Great War, more devastating than the first.

Help us avoid this happening for real here by pressuring South Defese to stick to their agreed terms and focus more on rebuilding and improving their social structure.


Many Regards,

HRH King Michael McLeod XIX.

'The actions undertaken by the government of North Defese against their ethnic brothers in the recently independent republic of South Defese, are patantly outrageous. While it is impossible for our government to accept the terms of the North Defesean ultimatum as even remotely reasonable for their southern neighbours, we here in the motherland are willing to host peace negotiations before things get too far out of hand. Not that the military strikes already carried out by North Defese are not callous and worthy of revenge, it is believed that further bloodshed can be prevented, and should be prevented by other means. War is always conquered by peace.'

ooc: he made a new one, and the clones are gone.

What makes you automatically assume South Defese is a puppet nation?

sd actually isn't a puppet. One of the things I use as proof is the OOC thread. SD says something, then ND responds to it. Why would anyone need to OOC themselves. Also, they've actually said that they're brothers or friends or something.

You can think whatever you like, it wont make it true.
South Defese is not a clone, or a puppet.

why does GWO always pick on noob communists? It's just what he decided to do with his policies.

And about the other Defeses, they are clones, created by someone else to bash the thread.

ooc: it's just what he does. Some nations have like a 'rivalry' with others. They have a rivalry since SD "broke off" from the north.

You'll be watching me?
Is that a threat?
Your threatning me over RPing a civil war with my brother on a forum based on a online nation simulater?
Are you going to wait for me to "slip up" and somehow reveal that my said "brother" is just a figure of my imagination, then earn a spot on TV for rescueing me from my life crippling schizophrenia?

OOC: Meh, whatever. No doubt ND will now ban me from the war thread now, but i'll be watching you ND.

What in the hell is your problem? Your saying that you if yours friends OOCLY with someone you cant have war with them ICLY? I've fought my friends plenty of times on off site Nationstate type rps. Your just being paranoid :/

OOC:
UN. Just because you have this "feeling" of something without evidence doesn't mean you need to clog up his thread with useless accusations. If you have problems with the situation that you want resolved, then go to the OOC thread. It's not that hard.

OOC:

Another reason I'd believe that South Defese isn't a puppet is because in several threads of mine, North Defese has been claiming that I am one of SD's puppets. Where in truth, I started this puppet as a way for me to get into MT. My FT nation being Auman... that I am bored of after about six years. Is there an OOC thread for this, or what?

OOC: Having one war is not it though, it's been a multitude of threads concerning ND & SD, some with godmodding and nuke-spam (see "Nuclear Winter").

As to the emboldened point; Yes, very possibly. I apoligise for cluttering up this with OOC, and will delete my comments if you wish ND. However, my personal opinion is that this is suspicious - if you are doing what I have said, you're not the first and you won't be the last.

And as to what I said about "Watching you" it means ICly, due to the number of unjustified attacks (again, see ND's "Nuclear Winter" thread) and invasions of SD. That, and I was posting off my PSP and I didn't have access to my Communique Template, so I had to say it in OOC rather than posting a crappy IC response. If you want me to post a IC response, I will gladly do so. Otherwise, i'm backing off now - i'm leaving this alone, OOCly. If you want to continue this ICly, as I have said, I have no problem with that.

ooc: The "nuclear winter" was my FIRST POST EVER and I did not read the stickies.
I relized my mistake after reading the responses, and am trying to improve my RPs. Im crappy at intro's, dont bite my head off.

OOC: Well, actually you did make several threads before that that had some decent intro posts, but whatever.

OOC:

You know what I suggest, bro? Before making a thread that directly involves other players you should, like, talk to them first. Especially when it involves combat of any kind. Because typically a war will turn into a bitchfest in the first couple of posts. In general I have noticed that war threads are always lame and always fail, because no one wants to lose and when you're dealing with a text based game such as this one, there's no one to conduct a war without previous concensus anyway.

That's just my thoughts, anyway.
