[Seton Islands]

No rest for the Seton Islands fleet.

The People's Republic of the Seton Islands fleet is again at sea. Having been in the Gulf of Mexico, the fleet returned to their bases in the islands, just to be called out again almost immediately. Few details have been given other than that it is heading to the North Sea for "possible humanitarian and peacekeeping needs". The fleet is being led by the islands only aircraft carrier, the light carrier SINS Revolution which has a complement of nine MiG-29K aircraft, capable of air-superiority roles as well as light ground attack.

Increased Lone Star Patrols from Panent NAS

As concern in the International Community mounts over the turbulent events of Central Europe, intelligence analysts across the European theater are tracking a flurry of LSR activity based out of Panent Naval Air Station, located on the Sovereign Seton Island of Panent. Reports of increased AWACS and maritime recon patrols have not gone unnoticed by Continental European forces, and several peaceful intercepts have already occurred.

This comes as no surprise to the international community as LSR Prime Minister Delgado has ratcheted up her rhetoric and increasingly vocal concern over the recently uncovered massive loss of life uncovered in Nachtland.

According to a statement released to the Amalgamated Press by the LSR Ministry of State - "The Lone Star Republic prides itself on a neutral, non-interventionist policy - however with recent Seton fleet movements into this troubled theater, we must ensure that the humanitarian efforts conducted by our Socialist ally are not impeded. We continue to stand with the free workers of the world and encourage all belligerents to stand-down for the good of the European people. If so desired, the LSR would be willing to arrange multi-party talks hosted by a neutral intra-governmental body, such as NACO or the OAU."

To the leadership of the Imperial Autocracy of Nachtland,

The United Federation of Chinese States hereby condemns the Imperial Autocracy of Nachtland for genocide and other crimes against humanity. Although we have heard your cries of peace to other nations, we cannot but feel that your racism is a threat to peace on Earth. The Daughter of Heaven, Empress Ming Wu-zhe, stated that your rampant ideology and your disturbing calls that your people are the Master Race is an offense against Heaven and the Universal People.

It is Heaven's will for the peoples of this world to remain peaceful with each other and commit no crimes. Rulers must rule justly, subjects must must work fairly. Families, traditions, and opinions must be treated with respect. The people of humanity have long broken these rules, and Heaven is justified in sending Divine Punishment to them. Your government is now the prime example, for putting murderous policies into reality and showing the darkest sides of what people can be. Perhaps it is fitting that Heaven has send a great army against you.

Unless you change your policies, style of government, and your relations to other nations, the Chinese Federation, will have no choice but to join that great army.

We hope you can finally see the error of your ways and change. Heaven is kind to those who truly repent, and they and their people can suffer less of Heaven's vengeance.

Indostan ships set out. There was quite a lot of them as well. 5 destroyers, 9 submarines, 1 aircraft carrier! and 8 frigates. That was only the forces that had set out so far! Indostan had only used a fraction of it's navy. Most of the ships were preparing and mobilizing. On these ships, aside from the essential crew, there were 1223 soldiers ready to land on the soil of the Nazis. These soldiers would then mingle with and join Nepalese troops.

It would still be a slight while before they reached Nactland.

[New Robotalica]

While the Indostan had a Superior Navy, their Infantry Assault would Fail Horrificly at the Halten Sie as the Northern Patrol Came down on them, and Air Forces, Artillery and Submarine assaulted the Large naval Force.

Nachtlund would not go quietly. And as expected, Tanks were using Uranium Depleted Shells to Hold out the Eastern Front now. Things were looking up. Not one Foreigner had set foot on Nacht Soil.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

The thing with subs is that they are underwater. The Nacht ships firing at the visible Indostani ships would be easily taken by missiles from below. The Indostanis didn't even try to get on Nacht soil yet. They were merely smashing any Nacht ships and creating a heavy blockade. They would wait for Chinese and Nepalese commanders to suggest when to get inland, since they hadn't brought many men.

[New Robotalica]

But nother point was that the Nacht Submarines were Also Assaulting the Indostan ones, in some sort of Chain, Ship fire on Enemy, Enemy Fire on Ship, Sub Fire on Enemy. As The Baltic was in Chaos, The Blockade was being Harrased by Air. The Halten Sie Standing Strong, the War Council was determining wether ot not to Use Chemicals in the Baltic. They did not want to Ruin it. As Nachtlund was Holding out Relativly Well. The Massive Military Force had Everything under control, The East Defended Heavily, the North being Dealt With, the West being Defended heavily.

As more and More of the Navy in Reserve Set out into the Baltic. Support from other Assisting Nations was Truely paying off, surplus in resources, more Armor being Prouced, weapons, Amunition, Vehicles..

TO: All Belligerents in the European Theater
FROM: The Lone Star Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs
RE: The Safety of Non-Combatants at Conflicts' End.

Esteemed Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please be advised that the primary concern of The Lone Star Republic in this theater is the safety of the civilian population of Continental Europe. We cannot and will not stand idly by while a brutal conflict is conducted over the horrific genocide of thousands, only to have a genocide of millions take place thereafter.

While territorial adjustments, regime change, wartime loss of combatant and collateral life, and socio-economic distress are the unfortunate and regretful outcomes of war, the disproportionately aggressive tone from the Dual Monarchy of Sinae-Britannia is of increasing concern.

That being said, we hereby request clarification from Her Imperial Majesty's government with regards to the fate of Nachtland citizens at war's end. Specifically, we also request clarity regarding the recently uncovered diplomatic communique which was transmitted to LSR Intelligence a short time ago.

..As such, from this day your people are doomed. Every citizen of Nachtlund is condemned to extermination by your arrogance..

We have begun preliminary discussions amongst the International Assembly of the Free Nations Pact regarding this grave concern, and seek collaborative guidance from the member nations thereof.

We will not however, permit the unmitigated slaughter of an entire populace for the foolish, misguided, and psychotic policies of an admittedly genocidal despot. If this means we are alone in standing against the night, then so be it.

((OOC: Yes, I'm aware of the irony of that last statement, and of what 'Nacht' means in ze Deutsch. ))

Sincerely,
HRH Krystal Delgado

A Broadcast from the Holy Xavier Empire

A mahogany podium adorns the seal of the Holy Xavier Empire. Behind the podium is the Holy Xavier Empire's flag on one side and the Emperor's flag on the other side. The background is nothing more than a blue curtain. Stepping up to the podium is none other than the Emperor himself, ready to address the people of the world.

Brothers and sisters, hear me!

As I speak to you now, our fellow man fights against one another in senseless bloodshed. The death toll and damage are catastrophic on both sides and it is clear that neither side shall benefit. We understand that the Imperial Autocracy of Nautchland has committed heinous crims against several thousand immigrants, but that pails in comparison to the atrocities brought about by war. War between two or three nations never affects only those two or three nations. International trade is affected, divisive are drawn between nations to alienate peaceful progress, families are torn apart, people are displaced from their homes, and far worse plagues every country of this world. No one is truly safe until this war stops. That is why my people and I will stop at nothing to end the violence.

The Emperor gave a curt nod to the camera man to signal him to cut the live feed.

-------------------

The curt nod didn't only signal the cut of the camera feed. The Emperor's nod signaled the beginning of Operation Impending Victory. Originally a training exercise, Operation Impending Victory was secretly upgraded to a full scale operation against the United Kingdom of Nepal and the Dual Monarchy of Sinae-Britannia when war was declared.

It would begin with an army of hackers from the Holy Xavier Empire swarming the networks of Indostan, the United Kingdom of Nepal, and the Dual Monarchy of Sinae-Britannia while launching over one thousand ICBMs. The reason behind targeting the base networks first was because modern air defense systems share sensor information and targeting data to better coordinate their actions. The Holy Xavier Empire was going to us this connection against the naval forces invading Nautchland. An army of hackers would tie up communications between these defenses with gibberish and cluttering the digital screens of radar operators with phony and conflicting data. Meanwhile the ICBMs would break off in thousands of multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) specifically targeting the navies still stationed in their home ports and airbases. The Holy Xavier Empire wanted to destroy their abilities to project power.

Once the early detection satellites pick up on the warheads in Earth's orbit, roughly 1/5 of these warheads would detonate to shred communication and imaging satellites possessed by enemy nations to prevent an effective counterstrike. This would knock out some of the Holy Xavier Empire's Satellites, among many other nations, but the Imperial Forces already had their pre-planned targets and were well on their way to moving in to position. Short range communications would suffice while the panicked nations would scramble to try and determine where an attack would come from after the barrage.

Half of the warheads were expected to be knocked out of the air in the worst case scenario but realistic estimates put the amount of warheads being knocked out of the sky between ten to twenty percent. Which is why each target had two missiles designated to hit their mark. Runways and ships were targeted for direct impact with GPS guided warheads while others were designated to air-burst over bases to devastate radar arrays, hangers, and barracks. Not to mention the location of missile silos exposed when Nepal knocked out the satellites of Nautchland. If, for whatever reason, the MIRVs did not knock out the naval forces of the three nations, the navy of the Holy Xavier Empire were outfitted with Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles which they doubted any nation ever bothered to counter.

In front of the three carrier groups are four submarines, the silent hunters of the Imperial Navy. They would detect enemy ships long before they were detected and launch their ASBM from their torpedo tubes and watch their missiles burst from through the sky from under the water's surface before tearing any enemy ships to shreds. Not far behind the submarines are destroyer squadrons outfitted to detect any enemy submarine threat or naval mines that may have slipped past the Imperial Subs. Behind them is the bulk of the forces. Nimitz class "Super Carrier" with over 100,000 tones of displacement. Each carrier had 50 Su-33 that acted as strike fighters (Superior to the F/A-18s in every way), 6 EA-18G Prowlers to jam what little radar the enemy had left while intercepting enemy radio communications, 6 E-2C Hawkeyes to provide all-weather airborne early warning and command and control capabilities for all aircraft-carrier battle groups (essential after knocking out the satellites), 2 C-2 Greyhounds for logistical support, and 10 MH-60R Seahawks to assist in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), naval special warfare (NSW) insertion, search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). That wasn't including all of the Seahawks on the various destroyers with the carrier groups. Two Aegis Cruisers accompanied each carrier group to provide long range strike capability far beyond what the destroyers could provide. And finally came the supply fleet of oil, ammunition, and more.

Each carrier group had different objectives. One was headed for the Straits of Malacca. It was a crucial juncture for trade in the entire region and control of the straits would put severe economic pressure on all enemy forces. One was heading north to isolate the Hainan Dao from the mainland and blockade the city of Hong Kong. It would put more domestic pressure on the home front by denying access to a vital waterway for the Dual Monarchy. Hainan Dao could also be easily occupied and turned in to a forward operating base if needed like the Nepal territory in Indonesia could be. Finally, the third group was headed for Sri Lanka for the same reason. Deny access to trade junctions and make it an easy occupation for a forward operating base if needed.

"Do you really think this will work sir?" One of the Captains asked the Admiral of Task Force Defiance. "We are taking on three major nations at once. Surely we cannot beat these odds." The Admiral gave the Captain an assured smile. "Our enemy has extended themselves in a war in Europe against an enemy that has been preparing for an invasion. They know this so they dedicated a significant amount of their forces in to overwhelming Nautchland while ignoring our activity to the south." The Admiral guided the Captain over to a map of their operational theater. "Our missile strikes alone would devastate their defensive capabilities at home. But we decided to use their satellites against them to feed misinformation to their high-tech defensive systems to increase the effectiveness of our strike, not to mention deploying decoy aluminum balloons to further distract our enemies from the true threat." The Admiral pointed to several marked areas on the maps. "Here are known missile sites exposed from their attacks on Nautchland satellites. Their precision guided weapons may have saved their communication and imaging satellites for their use, but it allowed other nations to know the location of fixed missile sites. We did not want to make the same mistake, so we did an air burst attack to knock out all satellites in the area. We may be partially blind ourselves, but we took the necessary precautions prior to launching our strike." The Captain nodded in agreement. "And do not forget, we are not here to beat the enemy." The Admiral said as he pulled away from the map. "We are merely here to force all sides to a ceasefire. With Nautchland already calling for a ceasefire and the Asian Alliance primarily engaged in Europe, they will have no choice but to come to the table to talk."

"In the mean time," The Admiral continued. "We will be putting economic stress on the Asian Alliance through blockades. Not to mention denying rapid redeployment of Asian Alliance forces to Nepal or the Sinae area. They would have to go through Indostan by land, make it past our two carrier groups, or go around the Americas." A smile came across the Admiral's face as he sat down in his fancy chair. "All the while we will be hacking their communication satellites to throw their home forces in disarray, conducting surgical strikes on their forces during the confusion, and wiping out key infrastructure like the power grid. We should be home by this time next week, Emperor willing." The Captain smiled and saluted his superior. "In the Emperor's name!"

The Admiral failed to mention that special forces would be landing to gather intelligence on enemy forces and knock out key structures on top of the air strikes and shore bombardments. These men would be vital to minimize the civilian casualties. After all, they merely wanted to cripple the ability of the Asian Alliance to project their power. They were not there for an occupation they certainly could not achieve. "Emperor preserve us..."

[New Robotalica]

Nachtlund was Stricken with Surprise. They had not Expected Any assault on their Aggressors, accordingly, the Xavier Empire had Executed a Near Perfect crippling of Aggressive Forces. They would Surely receive as Much support as Nachtlund could Provide while holding Back these Assaults, which with all this going on, would be no problem. After the War, Nachtlund would be in Great debt to the Xavier Empire, but for now they could only send resources, and some very Hush Hush Weapons in order to repay some of it. Mostly thats what they did, because Nachtlund was relativly a very large producer of weapons, top notch aswell, but Money was Also needed in orer to truely pay the Debt.

And as far as the Battle of the Baltic was going, Nacht Ships were assaulting Any Ships re-entering the Baltic through the Blockade, Underwater Submarine Battles had ceased, but no Confirmed take downs were reported. The Battle continues, but Airforce Presence is now Bombing Ships coming in.

(OT, I said in Earlier Posts that I was Sending the Navy out, and they were there for a while)

Be wary, however, you are now another Prime target for Assault of these Barbaric Gatherings of Brutes that call themselves Nations. Again, we thankyou Greatly.

To the Autocracy of Nautchland, from the Holy Xavier Empire

The Holy Xavier Empire appreciates your gratitude but that is not why we have struck against your enemies. We believe it is our duty to prevent bloodshed wherever and whenever possible. Make no mistake, we do not condone the terrible acts your country has committed. However, you have shown the will and desire to change and requested peace with your enemies. Despite this, they continue to press the assault on your nation and costing the lives of many good men and women. We are acting to force this alliance who seems to be motivated by nothing more than self interest in to diplomatic terms. And the Holy Xavier Empire expects you to pay in full for this peace keeping endeavor entirely once the situation is settled (Over the years of course).

Until then, we can be seen as brothers in arms against a common enemy. We must ask that you fight hard against them and do not give up. We must prove to these nations that continuing this war would not be worth the costs. Their navies and supply lines should be severely limited after our initial assault. Our naval blockade will further deprive the enemy of essential resources. All you have to do is outlast the bombardment and they will no longer be able to support any kind of invasion against you. Tell your forces this, and to go forth with the Emperor's blessings.

Signed, The Emperor of the Holy Xavier Empire

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Immediately following Nepal's promise to use Chemical Agents against the Holy Xavier Empire, a emergency broadcast instructed the local population to have their NBC suits ready at all time and be able to adorn them in 60 seconds or less. It was something taught to all citizens of the Holy Xavier Empire as apart of their basic training during first aide. Every single citizen would have NBC suits and those who didn't would be able to get them issued from local distributors such as police departments.

This turn of events was very disturbing for the Emperor. He had known that there would be retaliation for his strike against the Asian Alliance, but to use Chemical weapons? Such atrocities were unthinkable. These nations truly were the epitome of land grabbing evil dictators. He only prayed they would have enough early warning from their advance C2 forces to prevent a great loss of life.

Artillery Fire on the Enemy in the West was going well, but after the Nepali Shels hit Xavier, all Contemplation of Holding back the use o Chemicals in the Baltic would become nothing more than a Memory.

[Old Tyrannia]

Baltic Sea

In the north of the Baltic, Captain Marcus of the Ark Royal received word of the Nachtlandian approach. The Nachtlandians seemed to be throwing their entire Baltic fleet against them. Marcus quickly radioed the admiralty for further orders, and they came;
"Withdraw to international waters. Await reinforcements."
This is exactly what Marcus had done. The fleet had turned around and headed for neutral waters. But the Ark Royal was somewhat slower than the enemys' destroyers, so there was a very good chance that they would be caught up before they reached safety.

Awaiting the taskforce was the HMS Queen Elizabeth, a Queen Elizabeth-class aircrafy carrier, and two Type 45 destroyers. This force had been designated 'Taskforce Beta' by the Sino-British command. They set off from Portsmouth that morning and began heading for the eastern Baltic at full speed, determined to rescue their fellow Royal Navy ships from the Nazi menace.

Meanwhile, as the Nachtlandian navy set off in pursuit of the British fleet, another fleet approached the ruined Nachtlandian city of Klaipėda or Memel. After days of bombardment by the cruise missiles of the Royal and Imperial Navies' submarine fleet, the city's port was in ruin, and any defences would no doubt be all but obliterated. The HMS Ocean, a dedicated helicopter carrier, led the fleet. Eighteen Westland Sea King helicopters took off from the Ocean and flew ahead to scout the city. They would locate and neutralise any remaining Nachtlandian defences. Meanwhile, three Albion-class landing ships approached the ruined port. One drew up at the dock unchallenged, and disgorged six Challenger 2 main battle tanks.

---

North Venetia
Venetian Republic
Italian Peninsula

The Nachtlandian bombardment was not unexpected. Nonetheless, some 300 men were killed in the bombardment, 1,340 injured, and six Challenger 2 tanks were seriously damaged. Meanwhile, the British forces stationed in Venetian struck back with lightning speed and fury; 200 tomahawk cruise missiles were fired at the massing Nachtlandian force, while the British artillery positions along the border returned Nachtlund's favour, raining down missiles on the Nachtlandians. The 15,000 strong British force that had landed in Venice marched north at double the pace after hearing of Nachtlund's pre-emptive assault, and the Venetian army mobilised three reserve regiments, adding an extra 8,000 men to their war effort.

As the conflict on land heated up, two Astute-class and three Trafalgar-class submarines arrived in Venetian waters. After the success of their bombardment of Nachtlund's north coast, the Royal Navy wanted to launch a smiliar assault here in the Adriatic. Venice contributed its two functioning Trafalgar-class submarines, and the whole submarine fleet began opening fire on the Adriatic coast of the Nachtlandian Reich. The Adriatic fleet continued to halt and seize and Nachtlandian ship they came across without resistance.

---

South China Sea

The attack on Chinese naval forces was devestating, but by and large ineffective. China's navy had never been powerful, and it was the British Royal Navy that was mainly responsible for the campaign against Nachtlund. China lost many ships, yes, but the attack would do little damage to the war effort. It served only to incite China's rage.
Two Type 052C destroyers were mobilized in the aftermath of the assault in order to defend Hainan. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy base in Hong Kong mobilised three Type 42 Destroyers and four Type 23 Frigates. The Imperial & Royal Navies of the Sino-British Empire were more than ready for the Xavier assault.

Meanwhile, near the Zhongsha Islands, two Type 092 submarines modified to carry tomahawk cruise missiles prepared to strike at the approaching enemy fleet, the intention being to cripple the attackers before they reached Chinese waters. On Hainan itself, 20,000 men were mobilised by the Imperial Chinese Army in case of an attempted invasion, and the Chinese launched three missiles at one of the remaining Nachtlandian communications satellites. In Britannia, on the other side of the world, the British launched the same number of missiles at another of the satellites. The Chinese also sent a pair of Type 094 submarines south to launch attacks on major Xavier ports, though they were unsure how much would be left to destroy after Nepal's ferocious counter-assault.

Austin Capitol Building, Office of the Prime Minister.
..+00:25 after Melbourne Impact..

Prime Minister Krystal Delgado, once she finished reading the action summaries on her PDA which were hastily assembled by the LSR Global Operations Command staff, could barely contain her anguish. To no one in particular she muttered, "Dios mio.. those crazy bastards did it. I can't believe it, those sick, inhumane monsters.." and after a few more quavering breaths, she wept.

Austin Global Operations Command building, codenamed: The Citadel.
..+00:42 after Melbourne Impact..

"Unacceptable!" Delgado howled, while slamming her open palm on the stained oak table in one of The Citadel's monitor-laden planning rooms. "I need verifiable information on the agents used during the attacks. I ALSO need my military options condensed in a clear and concise manner. I do not have the f**king time for deployment schedules, industrial ramp-up time, adverse conditions in the Pacific, low-visibility in the Baltic, or any of this other b**lshit! I want us in this fight. I want them to stop..NOW!"

If the upper echelons of the LSR military command structure shuffled out of the room a tiny bit slower after their quick, snappy "YES MAM!" they would have heard Krystal's half-yelped, silent plea under her breath; "..and I want those millions of innocent people to have lived."

Simultaneously in the Norwegian and Philippine Seas
..+04:00 after Melbourne Impact..

The Sinaloa and Seton Flotillas of the People's Lone Star Navy stepped up their wartime preperations in their respective theaters. AA and AS radar and sensors were attuned for maximum range, and ASW picket escorts and their attached ASW helicopters started dropping a multitude of buoys forward and around the fleet in a far projecting screen. There was little to no chance of a surprise attack at this point as they were ready for contact, and it would be only a short while until they were in their assigned operating points..

..overhead, Combat Air Patrols from the two Nimitz class super-carriers, the PNS Ranger and the PNS Texas, operating in the European, and South East Asian theaters respectively, were already under way. As the flotillas extended a zone of exclusion around the two fleets, the pervasive CAP did the same over the air.

At this point, the two fleets, the largest the Lone Star Republic has ever deployed overseas were only waiting for word from their Commander-in-Chief to proceed. In the meantime, the crews were riveted to the horrific newscasts playing over the Global News Network.

Nachtlund Civilians watched as Xavier Burnt. This was turning into some sort of Global War. As Reichter Choked on his Coffee when he Read the Reports, splurting it Back up.

"WHAT!" he Yelled, he then Falling Backwards in his Seat, his Coffee Mug Smashing, as Gaurds Rushed in. He shoo'd them away. As his rubbed his forehead.

"My... God..." He said, as the report said about the Assault.

Hours Later, A massive, Furiated Crowd was Screaming and Chanting in Anger at this Evil act. As he walked out, he Waved, and as Always, they Cheered in Glory of his Presence.

"People of Nachtlund! Today, a Horrific War Crime has taken place on a Great Nation! Our puny Exodus pales at the Toll of Casualty these Devils have Brought up! It is time to End this War! End these Horrifying Assaults on those who wish to Bring peace to Earth! At Any Cost!" He preached, as the Rowdy Crowd Screamed in Aprooval, Nazi Flags Waving in the Dark Morning Rain. Thousands waving small little Banners of the Xavier Empire Flag, and Signs being held reading "Dictatorship Devils" or other things, many with Obscenities. Nachtlund was in a Rage of Sheer Hate and Anger, more so than it had ever Been Before."In order to begin the End of this war, we Must Crush forces in the Baltic, Obliterate the Eastern Assault! Destroy the Western Attack! The Nefarious Nepali Devils will forever burn for their Incompetant, Irresponcible and Irrational actions!" He yelled, the crowd Uproaring. He was a great spokesman for getting crowds rowdy with Joy. "Our Volgan Brothers are Ready to End this Global Disaster! We must do our Part and Keep up our Defences! Doing so, WE, as a PEOPLE need to be ready to fight!" He said, reaching down, and lifting a HK MP7 into the Air, as the Peoples Fists rose into the Air aswell.

Militias were All over Nachtlund Now, or as they were officialy Called, the Civilian Society Protectorates, the CSP, incase an Invasion occurred. Chemical Gasses were being dropped on the Blockade in the Baltic by Jet Fighters. The Battle of the Baltic Went to an Escaladed Level.

The Fleets however, Stopped as Jets flew Above, Chemical Bombardment on tthe Border Bega. The Italian Forces would See Large plumes of Gass Arise as Jets flew over. This was Nachtland way of saying "Were not giving up!"

A fulle general mobilisation was called and soldiers and arms were loaded onto transport ships. The ships are thought to be en route to meet the rest of the nations naval fleet which is currently in the North Sea.

The government maintain that they are preparing for "future humanitarian and peacekeeping operations".

Litany of Fury

Admiral Schwartzcuff was sitting in his comfy chair when the radar station got his attention. "Sir! We have incoming missiles from Nepal!" The Admiral sat upright in his chair as he straightened his coat nervously. "Battle stations people, we were expecting a counter attack from Nepal."

The sirens were heard throughout the carrier group as people already in position felt the adrenaline rush. Nearly two hundred different ICBMs were confirmed on radar. It looked like most of them were heading for the two carrier groups traveling together while a small portion of them were headed for the third. The four Aegis Cruisers opened fire with their long range missiles while the Destroyers assisted in what they could to knock out the enemy missiles. Meanwhile, combat air patrols attempted to shoot down more missiles with air-to-air missiles. Unfortunately the AEGIS system only proved to be 15% effective in test simulations, and real life results were hardly better. Another portion of the missiles were shot down by the patrols in the air providing over watch for a total of forty missiles.

"Brace for impact!" Called the Admiral as the ICBMs closed with the carrier group on the radar. 5...4...3...2...1...Nothing more than an eerie silence. "What happened?!" Shouted the Admiral as he looked over at the radar station. "Sir, the missiles have passed our position and are continuing on towards the mainland." The Admiral's eyes went wide in shock. "Where are they headed, Fort Mallious?" The radar station looked up at the Admiral in disbelief as he shook his head. "Their trajectory suggests every major city in the Empire..." The Admiral immediately reached for his phone up-link to a Hawkeye that would route his call back to the Emperor himself. "Sir, we have a major problem..."

Air raid sirens could be heard blaring in every major city throughout the Holy Xavier Empire. People scrambled to get in doors and to find shelter from the missile attack while Imperial forces scrambled Quick Response Forces assembled since the beginning of Operation Impending Victory. F-15 took to the skies to try and intercept the ICBMs while Patriot Missile defense systems did their best to track and destroy enemy missiles based on the trajectory sent from the Hawkeyes and AEGIS Cruisers. Many of the ICBMs weren't going to make a direct hit on the city while some wouldn't hit the city at all. It seemed that the initial missile strike had taken its toll on Nepalese C2. To optimize what precious time they had to destroy enemy missiles, all efforts focused upon taking out enemy missiles that would directly hit the cities themselves. This concerted effort would see another sixty Nepal missiles knocked out of the sky. More importantly, no missile would directly hit the city itself.

The bombs fell on Imperial land with no major incident. Enough to cause there to be a moment of relief. Major civilian casualties were averted. Sure, there were casualties, but that was unavoidable. What was important was the fact that millions of lives had been protected by preventing direct hits on the city. That is, until the first report came in that many people complained of a faint, bitter, burnt almond-like odor before literally dropping dead. The Nepal government had the audacity to use Cyanide Gas in their weapons. A government alert had been broadcast throughout the Empire warning the civilian population to adorn their NBC suits they were issued during their schooling years. It was a broadcast that really did little for the population. Many people who remembered their training from school had already adorned the appropriate suits while others were not so fortunate. The death toll was going to be catastrophic at best.

"How many?" The Emperor asked as he let out a sigh from a heavy heart. "Between three and six million are estimated to be dead. But that is a figure our experts pulled out of thin air. We won't know the true extent of the damage until we mobilize to count our dead populace." The Emperor raised a disgusted eyebrow. "And what do they base this estimate off of?" The adviser seemed to be taken aback by the Emperor's sharp response. "Well your eminence, they used Cyanide from what we understand in their chemical attacks. Cyanide loses its effectiveness the less concentrated it is. We were able to knock out a direct hit on our cities thanks to an advanced warning from your fleets heading to the Java Sea and our Quick Response Forces. So the Cyanide agent dispersed some when it reached the cities and caused it to take more time to kill a person. Our people have been trained since birth for this kind of thing and are expected to react appropriately. So I guess we are kind of lucky that we..." The adviser was cut off by the Emperor slamming his fist on to the table. "Lucky?! You call having chemical agents used on the civilian population lucky?! Millions of innocent children are dead now through no fault of their own!" The adviser went silent.

"Brother and sisters, hear me, I beg you."

As some of you may already know, the Holy Xavier Empire struck against the three nations invading the Autocracy of Nautchland several hours ago. This was a surgical strike to cripple their military capabilities of projecting power against the Autocracy of Nautchland and force them to begin diplomatic peace talks. The Holy Xavier Empire did expect there to be retaliation against our nation for these acts but the men and women of the Imperial Forces knew well what was on the line and would gladly give their lives for this nation and to stem the rising tide of evil from this Asian Alliance. Unfortunately, the evil of their administration knows no bounds.

Four hours after the missile attack on Nepal, the United Kingdom of Nepal retaliated with a full chemical attack on the citizens of the Holy Xavier Empire. The estimated death toll is six million but cannot be confirmed at this point in time. Now many ask what will we do next? Will we bow to this sudden atrocity of biblical proportions? Will we retaliate with the same force in kind? Well I am here to tell you that neither course of action will be taken by the Holy Xavier Empire. We began this operation to stop the evil from spreading further, so I ask you this. Would you despair in the wake of such atrocities and devastation? Or would faith and honor spur you to take action?

We have heard the Lone Star Republic is itself taking action. Now we ask that other nations do the same. Take up the mantle of responsibility in preventing further crimes like this from ever occurring again. Join our ranks in dethroning this despot who would kill millions for a meaningless piece of land they are scrounging for in Nautchland. And never forget Melbourne!"
