"After all, good business, is simply, good business."

"Mister Yushuu, with upmost respect, in my eyes; good business is protecting your interests and destroying the things that threaten them. That is how business is done in this city, and everywhere else." He said, looking out the executive floor towards the large city, "My interests are the city of Asahina, as long as that remains a shining pillar of hope, I have no objections to your ambitions."

Jenkins came back towards the group, bringing back many suits and some identification papers. Mister Smith handed them kindly to Yushuu.

"Comraden Citizenship." He said as he handed the ID Papers and suits over, "Also, take this." He said, handing Yushuu's associates business cards with a faint Eagle's wing. He handed Yushuu another prized possession, a large magnum revolver with an eagles wing engraved into the cylinder.

"The Silver Eagle is a sign of heirarchy in this city. You can get anything you want, alcohol, drugs... weapons. Please Mister Yushuu, our city is your city. Please make yourself at home." He smiled as he looked at some other men, "Now down to business, Jenkins, get the blinds. Greg, Lary make sure no unauthorized persons get in the meeting room." He said as the men nodded and did their work.

Two businessmen walked inside the room carrying a large container which they set on the table. Mister Smith opened the container lid, showing something that was sure to interest Mister Yushuu; HRF Suitcase Nukes. The three small nuclear weapons laid side by side inside the container, so small, yet so destructive.

"High Radiation-Fallout Weapons, by Comrade Commisar." Mister Smith stated, "They shall be your new reward. We have some warheads in another warehouse, about a few megatons, intercontinental. The target, Mister Yushuu, shall be Aquitaynian Treicha, the vast oil reserves there interest one of our clients. However, there has been a standoff with Comraden and Aquitaynian forces. I'm sure you can... tip the table in favor of the Comraden troops." Smith smiled.

"Complete this, Mister Yushuu, and I promise there will be many more victories, and many more nuclear weapons... to come. Do you want to accept our offer?" Mister Smith said as he poured two shots of Whiskey in celebration.

"Why yes, the offer is accepted. Although Japan is on Comrade Commissar's side, which normally makes Comraden troops, my enemy. However, We would more than likely also wish to nuke Japanese troops there. Allow me the dignity to do an excellent job comrade." Yushuu said smiling. Everything is going to plan, if I can gain their trust, they will not see it coming when I nuke all three sides in Treicha... Yushuu thought in his mind, thinking well he could accomplish anything. In the meantime, he also took the identification papers & cards he was given, as well as the large container. His men inspected the HRFW nukes, admiring the quality & excellence of the weapons.

"Excellent indeed. Even if I lost the Caribbean front, I can still win the world. If you may comrades, help us then together, the world shall be ours. We can accomplish anything, burn thousands of cities, watch nations tear each other apart, as well as Japan burn to the last soul. Now, Asahina shall be spared, as long as you help us launch nuclear assaults on Japan, as well as many other nations. We need help in staging a world wide nuclear apocalypse." Yushuu added, grinning sadistically. "Of course, for now, we can help tip the balance...as well as do much more in your favour, if we get oil in return..."

"Oil, Nuclear Armaments, we'll get anything you need Mister Yushuu." Smiled Mister Smith as he poored some shots for Yushuu and his associates, "We'll drink to our victory this day, Mister Yushuu. Jenkins, get Mister Yushuu's escort ready in an hour. Greg, Lary, carry Mister Yushuu's new assets downstairs and load it upon Jenkin's escorts. We're going to have a little celebration before you go, Mister Yushuu."

Jenkins nodded as he went towards the elevator with the two other businessmen, who were carrying the container with them. The remaining businessmen in the room served Yushuu and his party some shots of Whiskey and Ale as they celebrated the many accomplishments of their newest ally.

"Cheers, Mister Yushuu." Spoke Mister Smith as he raised his glass, "Let us drink towards your past accomplishments, your future ambitious and a new, glorious friendship." He said as he downed the shot.

"Cheers to a new friendship!" Shouted many businessmen in the room as they all downed their shots. After the hour long celebration, the new alliance would set out and destroy the Aquitaynian scum.

"Indeed, the moment has come at last for us to proceed. Japan was foolish to not keep me, now I shall show them the reason why they should fear me. In addition, may Operation Golden Armageddon bode well for us all." Yushuu Ikito said downing his numerous shots of drinks.

"Well, I guess we best be going our way now. The time has come for the world to learn how well I planned this whole thing out. However, keep in mind I am only here for the reward, the profit, the business. I pledge alliance to no government, moreover I do not seek to let any side win any conflict in particular. Instead, I have my agenda. Keep in mind I am helping because it serves my interests. That is simply because business can be so wonderful at times." Yushuu said.

"On another note, the time has come for us to leave Asahina, to commence the operation, as well as commence the plan I have had in mind since the 1980s." Yushuu Ikito said as he rose with his comrades to leave.

"Understood, Mister Yushuu." Smiled Mister Smith as he called his associate, "Jenkins, are arrangements made for Mister Yushuu?"
"Everything has been arranged, Mister Smith." Came the reply.

"Well, Mister Yushuu, it has been a really been a wonderful time with you." He stated, giving him a hearty hand shake, "Goodbye, Mister Yushuu. You two, please show Mister Yushuu his way out."

They nodded, "Mister Yushuu please come this way to the elevator with your associates. Please watch your step." As the elevator neared the first floor and the courtyard exiting Eagle International Armory, the two businessmen lead Yushuu to the middle of the long courtyard, just to notice the only gates out of the premise had been blocked by two limousines. This was not an accident.

"Mister Yushuu," Jenkins said as he walked around the sides of the Eagle International Armory building with three, nay, four dozen men armed with assault rifles and light machine guns, "It's Endgame, Mister Yushuu! Welcome to your funeral!"

The 'repair workers', who were tending to Yushuu's Submarines while the group was inside, also implemented a few modifications. The most primary would be welding the hatches and nuclear silos shut. Other minor modifications would be sticking C-4 Explosives upon the propellers and around critical parts of the ship. After they had cleared the docks, they decided to entertain themselves with a little 'fireworks' display.

One could hear the sounds of a dozen large explosions throughout the city.
"Your little toy submarines have been put out of service, indefinitely." Jenkins said, "If you were planning to blow yourself up, now's the time to do it." He smiled, knowing that everyone there carried a small type of jamming device, that while, not very effective, stopped Mister Yushuu from using a remote-controlled anything while within the Eagle International Armory premises. That was okay if it didn't have much range, it wasn't like Mister Yushuu was going to leave.

"These light machine guns also fire 7.62 x 51mm NATO, meaning they'll go straight through one person and right to you." He said as he gave the orders to gun down Yushuu and his entire party.

"Don't feel betrayed, Mister Yushuu! It's just good business!" He yelled over the sounds of continuous Machine Gun fire from four dozen light machine guns.

Mister Smith phoned Mister Eagles as the sound of continuous gunfire was heard from downstairs.

"Mister Eagles, sir, it's done." He stated happily, "Yushuu Arms and that lovely bounty is yours."
"Excellent," He stated, "Because after the changes that take effect with this peace treaty, arms prices are going to go up. We're going to need as big a business as we can muster."
"Cheers to you, Mister Eagles, sir." Smith said as he drank a shot of Jack Daniels, "Cheers to Eagle International Armory, You and Asahina."
"Screw you, I don't have alcohol." Eagles said as Smith laughed at the joke.

"Get down!" Yushuu yelled as he as well as his men got gunned down by the Comraden forces. Already Yushuu lost half of his group, whilst no escape could be arranged, since all his submarines were lined with explosives. The former captain of the Komatsu, that former loyalist submarine that surrendered, had other plans on his hands. He took from his over-coat a pack of C4 Karura, then set himself ablaze, exploding with his entourage.

In the meantime the survivors of Yushuu's party, took their rifles from their over coats then tried to fire back. Yushuu laid low, watching the ensuing fire fight. "You betrayed me, you fools! I still have my father & my brother! They will avenge me! We shall continue my plans for apocalypse! You may have me & my submarines, yet Yushuu's Nuclear Conglomerate will go on!" he took a pack of C4 from his underwear then set it on explosive. "This nice kind of C4 will have a nice blast radius of 155 metres. Sayonara....if we all have to die here, then so will they..." he whispered as he held them in the air, then throwing on the ground...

"You have to trust in order to be betrayed, dumbass!" Yelled Jenkins as his men kept surpressing fire, "Your father and brother are drunkards! Your dead! Your Corperation is ours! Hear me? Ours!"

Out of the heavy fire, Yushuu raised his hand, in it, an explosive. He hurled it as the floor, possibly with the intent of killing everyone in the courtyard. Before it could make contact with the concrete, a gunshot was heard. The C4 Package was vaporized, and a nice large bullet hole was in the pavement before Yushuu. It was pretty obvious what Yushuu was dealing with; snipers.

"Threat neutralized." A man in a dark suit and sunglasses reported into his headset as he rechambered another BMG 50 round, "Where do you think he keeps all his explosives?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Spoke his spotter in another building covering the courtyard, "I don't have a visual."
"You don't need a visual," The man spoke as he fired a BMG 50 round from his M82 straight through the wall Yushuu was taking cover from.

The two took turns switching between engaging Yushuu's men and firing at the cover he was behind. With such high powered rifles at short ranges, accuracy was almost unneeded. As long as the rounds were around the torso, it would chop a man into two. It didn't matter if Yushuu's men were behind anything, these rounds would simply pierce through. This included other men.

Jenkin's men began to move foward, casually walking and simply spraying bullets at Yushuu's crumbling cover. It was only a matter of time before he'd just be a pile of organs on the pavement, and when Eagle International Armory's dominance in the world was secure.

"NO!!!" Yushuu screamed as he saw his men crumbling before him. The Komatsu captain by now blew himself to shreds, whilst Yushuu suddenly began to notice that fire was coming from other subtle locations... "Snipers!" Yushuu swore in anger.

Raising his hands in the air, he beheld another object, one no one was expecting, "I die in honour! May this whole city try to dismantle my special delivery! You have around 30 minutes to diffuse the bomb! May the gods include myself have mercy from you!" he said, as he pulled from his vest a nuclear grenade, fully loaded to explode in 30 minutes.

"Behold the YNC Type 19 Nuclear Time Grenade! May the gods, including myself have mercy upon you! There are many more Yushuu out there besides two 'drunkards'! The rest of my family, around twenty others, can easily continue our line!" he yelled, throwing it on the ground. It released a smoke screen to camouflage its exact location, set to detonate in 30 minutes, while Yushuu finally collapsed dead at the hands of Jenkins' men...

It didn't take long to find the 'Nuclear Grenade', which was the source of the smoke. Bringing the grenade and Yushuu's corpse out towards the limousine, Jenkins ordered his men to load Yushuu's body with machine gun rounds - just to confirm he was dead.

"What do we do, sir?" Asked one of his men as he looked at the Nuclear Bomb.
"Give me your gun." He ordered. Confused, the man handed Jenkins his M-60E4, which Jenkin's promptly began to bash the grenade with the Light Machine Gun butt.

"Whoa! What are you doing?!" He cowarded along with the rest of the men until Jenkin's finally bashed the grenade into bits.
"I'm bashing it to bits, genius." Jenkins said as he removed some bits of spring and wire and tossed it towards the man, "Broke the spring mechanism, there's no way the thing can perfectly operate now. But just in case, take a speed boat and throw it about sixty kilometers off the shore."

Nodding nervously, the man walked out the gate and towards the docks, where he'd dispose of the broken pieces of grenade into the ocean. Jenkins returned to the matter of Yushuu's body, which was now bullet riddled with a few chunks of flesh barely hanging off the skin.

"That's disgusting. Throw it in a container or something and put it in the Armory." He said, walking away and making a face in disgust. The men nodded and threw Yushuu's mangled corpse in the trunk of a limousine as they drove off.

"The rest of you men, secure everything of value from the bodies and clean this place up." He ordered, "After today, we're all sure to get a promotion in our jobs. Good work guys."

Mister Eagles had just recieved a phone call of the situation. Walking towards the Japanese rooms, he knocked upon the door.
"This is Eagles," He shouted, "It looks as if your Yushuu problem has been mopped up. I'm here to talk about the bounty and the remains of Yushuu's corperation."

Waiting at the door, he was very eager at securing his earnings.

"What could it possibly be this time?" Nuclear Minister Tojo Hideki asked as he was roused from his sleep.

"Give us time to prepare, we shall discuss the affair later on." General Yasuji Okamura said, as all three delegates with the other non-designated personnel got back into their Akatsuki samurai military uniforms. Field Marshal Takezuke no Yamakata meanwhile received a message on his phone, from contacts in Asahina:

Code: X- Mission TRRX completed, by anonymous benefactor.

Confirmed dead.

"No way...this cannot be possible..." Takezuke said. Tojo as well as the other delegates were equally appalled.

"You...you came to tell us...that the renowned, drunk, mentally insane, destructively all-powerful, wealthy, corrupt, former Dictator self-proclaimed God Yushuu Ikito has been killed?!" Tojo Hideki babbled.

"Impossible! How did you capture this elusive man?" Takezuke asked.

Mister Eagles was quite pleased with himself, although his straight-face failed to show it.

"He's dead. Not captured." He stated, "I caught him simply because I felt it benefitted my interests. I've seen many small businessmen like Yushuu, that ride around on their white horses, taking so much pride in their greatness. It makes me sick."

"In any case, while the Japanese attempted to chase around Yushuu in their little ships, taking great losses, I took another road." He chuckled, "Oppertunity came to me, and I simply grabbed it by the throat and strangled everything out of it."

"Anyway," He stated, moving onto business, "It comes to my attention that there was a bounty on Yushuu's head. I want it. I also want the remnants of Yushuu's Arm Dealership, if that would be possible."

"After all, it was a businessman, not politicians or military commanders, that brought the end to this... I hesitate to call him... 'threat'."

Proclamation of New Conglomerate Leader

Yushuu Ikito's death was shocking to the rest of the Yushuu family, wherever they were. However, one thing was clear. As the

was drawn, one person was designated heir as well as next in line to lead the Yushuu Nuclear Conglomerate. There was only one person capable of such. The oldest choice, which mostly resembled Yushuu Ikito in character, personality, as well as everything else.

Of Yushuu Ikito's three sons Yushuu Sensai, Yushuu Iroshi, as well as Yushuu Kagoya, the eldest one resembling the father in most ways was deemed Yushuu Iroshi, the second oldest son in the group. The rest of the Yushuu immediately passed a vote then decreed him new Conglomerate President/Emperor of the The Conglomerate People's Rogue Republic of Cape Verde, Africa, Europe, Yushuu Nuclear Arms Incorporated; as well as self proclaimed God as well as Most Supreme Exalted Overlord of Everything You Shall Ever See. With this new man selected as leader, the Yushuu family was out not only for blood, yet also to continue Ikito's original plans of world wide terrorism, as well as potential nuclear Armaggedon.

"Interesting...however, reports are coming in of a new leader for their entire dealership, which is growing large. As for the bounty...here" Tojo Hideki said as he wrote a government check, handing it over to Eagles.

"Now, even though they still plan ahead with their plans, Ikito's death caused a few cracks in their anti-intelligence infrastructure, with several officials of the Yushuu 'government', defecting to Japan, giving us information of strategic importance. It appears their business is much larger than we thought." Yasuji said.

"Indeed, each family member controls their own sizable nuclear arsenal, whilst the company has contacts, branches, as well as assets, a little bit everywhere. No one knows how many places it has installed itself in, nor does anyone know how far they are willing to go, or planning to move ahead with their nuclear war. Whatever it is, it is certainly much bigger than your business, Mr. Eagles." Takezuke added to the conversation at hand.

Mister Eagles took the check and slid it into his jacket.
"450 Billion Universal Standard Dollars for the head of one insane ship Captain...? How much can I get for the whole set?" He joked.

"Bigger than my business? Maybe. If you fail to count the number of clients and assets I have, 'off the grid'." He stated as he looked around for any Aquitaynian guards.

"This is a little bit bigger than the world governments can handle, Nuclear Minister." He stated, crossing his arms in front of him, "This goes into a dark, dark world where the boundries of right and wrong are blurred. Where politicians and the military have no power. That is the dark world where Yushuu does his business, and that's where I, conduct my business. Yushuu's Arms Corperation is what I'm after, and I'm more than capable of capturing it, I'm just waiting for the perfect oppertunity. Don't confuse it for some goody-goody World Peace crap about preventing Nuclear Doomsday or World War III." He said in a very serious tone.

"I'll talk to you men later. I have some people to call." He nodded as he left the Japanese Delegation room before stopping, "Oh, and keep your spies out of my business. I'm really annoyed by it." He said before he left for his quarters.

Head Story : Peace Declared!

After much discussion between Aquitayne, Comrade Commisar and The Imperial Japanese Empire, peace has been declared. New improvements between the relations of our countries shall began shortly, with the establishment of Embassies within Telora and Asahina. Comrade Commisar shall also join a joint endeavor to research the long and short-term effects of large scale use of Chemical Weapons in Treicha. With the new establishment of peace between the three great nations, an alliance shall be drafted shortly. The precise terms of the peace conference can be addressed at the Ministry of Information.

High-Class Fugitive Gunned Down in Asahina
Earlier today, the high-class fugitive and international terrorist, Yushuu Ikito, was gunned down in the city of Asahina. The takeout of the criminal was presumably under the orders of Hershel Von Eagles, a local peacekeeper and leader of the largest arms dealer in Comrade Commisar. Although it is unknown how he apprehended Yushuu and why Yushuu was present in Asahina at the time, the Japanese Government has awarded Hershel Von Eagles an estiminated sum of 450 Universal Standard Dollars, which transferrs into a stunning 495 Billion Automatic Weapons in Comrade Commisar.

Eagles International Armory is known to protect the streets and grounds of there corperation with armed businessmen.
It was Yushuu's demise when he came acrossed a large group of such men, who are thought to have gunned him down with Light Machine Guns and Assault Rifles.

Nuclear Weapon Production to be Transferred
Today, the Ministry of Nuclear Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs have agreed to transferr production of Nuclear Weapons to the Eagle International Armory. This is yet to be approved by the Nuclear Minister and is still in the final stages of voting between the Ministries. The proposal would allow the Ministry of Nuclear Affairs to slash millions of Automatic Weapons and direct the money towards more benefitial projects, such as improving upon the Tsao Nuclear Reactor which is commonly seen in automobiles and military vehicles.

Reich Funeral to Be Held, New Heir to take Leadership
Following the Death of Aquitaynian Fuhrer, Thomas Reich, a funeral is to be held in Telora, Aquitayne. After the funeral, it is expected for Samuel Reich - the assumed heir - to take official leadership of Aquitayne and the Aquitaynian Military.

"Yushuu's clients & assets 'off the grid', are also huge. Once we rounded up 50,000 people known to have pledged their allegiance to Yushuu Nuclear Arms. Our Kempeitai is very efficient, which has begun stamping out his corporation at home. However, there is no telling of how many more assets outside our nation he has." Yasuji told Eagles.

"Indeed, as for the bounty, until we have evaluated the danger potential of the Yushuu family's other members, we cannot say. However, the bounty for the new leader stands at $30 billion, for now. Overtime, it might become 3 times bigger than the bounty for Ikito if necessary." Tojo Hideki the nuclear minister mused, whilst Takezuke had one thing to add.

"Well, there is also the matter of the Yushuu Empire interestingly adopting the Ingsoc colours of the Orwellian story. Moreover, we have satellite imagery of a concerning activity, of some influx in activity in Angola, Yushuu Empire. They have begun rebuilding their navy quite quickly, moreover are moving ahead to strike a blow into our nation in itself. We must be very careful to watch such things. Oh, no, capturing that corporation is much harder than you think. They will suicide nuke themselves most likely if they come under attack then assume they will lose. We evaluated their doctrine." he solemnly told Eagles.

"We are happy that the war is over for some of the contries, however we can no longer remain neutral twards Comrade Commisar's potentially dangerous nuclear arms program. Our spy satellites, spy planes and radiation sensors will track any nuclear arms movement within the country of Comrade Commisar, as well as ID the strength of each nuclear arm. In compliance with our Nuclear Arms Reduction treaty, Comrade Commisar should shut down their nuclear arms program as well as all uranium mines and plutonium production facilities.

Helm, Aquitayne

Thick, dark, black smoke bellowed up from what once was the skyline of Helm; filled now only with the crumbling of skyscrapers and the ongoing sounds of explosions, gunfire and death. The reinforcements the Top Tier had sent had arrived at last, the 3rd MCAG and the 1st GAG taking their positions around the city. The 3rd MCAG engulfed Helm in a siege maneuver, trapping the Japanese behind their own lines from the Southwest and West, while the 1st GAG moved into the city from the east, reinforcing crumbling Aquitaynian lines and giving the battle wary soldiers time to rest and bring their morale up. The battle had seen now two highly offensive pushes attempting to break through the either's lines; neither had been successful. Fürer Samuel Riech authorized the Blitzschlagen; the Lightning Strike on all Japanese forces within the city of Helm and any that are residing within sovereign Aquitaynian soil.

At the dusk of night, without warning, the entire 500 gun artillery battery of the 3rd MCAG opened fire, along with an additional 200 Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzer artillery guns lazing Japanese forces with incendiary, fragmentation, white phosphorous and mustard gas shells. In totality, over 30,000 shells were fired onto Japanese targets, heavily depleting the 3rd MCAG's ability to keep up heavy artillery support until they were resupplied. However, after the heavy bombardment, the 12th Marine Mechanized Division, lead by Divsionführer Fredrick von Ribbenhoff, made their way into the city through the Exit 25 offramps. They spread out to encompass twenty blocks of the city, pushing forward with their full 12,500 men force to crush the Japanese forces from behind their lines.

The 9th Armored Division, working alongside the 14th and 19th Infantry Divisions - encompassing over 165,000 men in total, began to make their push into the Japanese lines. A heavy artillery bombardment took place before the invasion, targeting heavy enemy strongholds and supply depots, along with attempting to target their remaining artillery guns to eliminate their ability to deploy their deadly chemical weapons. The Blitzschlagen required the 9th Armored Division to push far into the Japanese force; being one of the most highly experienced and decorated Divisions in the Reich, the Top Tier was certain it would be so. Armed with 1,000 Anemonian HT9A7-E1 MBT's and 2,000 AY1 'Serenity' MBT's, the only deciding factor would be if they could keep pace with the new Fumatsu Type 10 Japanese MBT. The Ironheart mortars also began opening fire on enemy infantry positions to give the 1st GAG maneuverability to push through the front lines. Over 800 attack helicopters, armed with an assortment of Hellfire AGM missiles, along with the AGM-114F Interim Hellfire for improved anti tank use, the AGM-114M Hellfire II for anti personnel use, and other anti-surface missiles.

The 1st GAG's 1st and 4th Guardsmen Artillery Brigade also began opening fire along the immediate front line combat zone, where hand-to-hand fighting and close quarters urbanized combat was beginning to rapidly take shape. The Aquitaynian soldiers, having little to no prior urbanized combat experience, found it difficult to combat entrenched Japanese positions, but the large artillery bombardments taking place softened up many locations to where they were accessible for assault. The 1st GAG reinforced the front lines, adding 120,000 men to the front line. The ultimate goal of the Blitzschlagen was to force Japan into an almost immediate surrender; shock and awe was the attempted victory strategy here. If they could overwhelm the Japanese forces to a point where their lines broke and they had nowhere to retreat to, they would collapse and Helm would finally, after long combat, be free.

The large biochemical attack Japan threw at the Aquitaynian soldiers was noneffective, to say the least. The Aquitaynian soldiers had already been ordered into NBC gear, and all Aquitaynian armored vehicles were required to have an NBRC protection system placed in them to ensure the health of those inside. The last thing they needed was for the vehicles made to protect soldiers to be their coffins. The Aquitaynian Armored Divisions quickly pushed forward, assaulting all Japanese positions in a hit-and-run style; they would attack but then just keep moving forward to look for more targets. It was all a part of the Blitzschlagen plan, overwhelm the enemy, kill him where he stands, and achieve ultimate victory.

"Sir, over 7,000 incoming targets!" The RADAR operator screamed across the island of the A.N.S Judge and Jury, the command ship and aircraft carrier of the 5th fleet. Großadmiral Canahan thought calmly. He was aware that the Japanese, even for their large numbers, couldn't launch an entire volley of over 7,000 missiles at once. There had to be decoys. He turned back to the RADAR operator and attempted to bring down the number of threats.

"Check the airspeed velocity of those incomings, detail which ones are the real threats - the decoys wont be heading as fast as the real things. Deploy all chaff and countermeasures the fleet has, activate the close-in weapons systems." He turned back around, knowing that the time for being defensive was over. It was time to use the submarines to his fullest advantage, and to do so was overly simple. From the island he ordered the firing of 400 Shtorm missiles, 400 Exocet missiles, 450 Barak missiles, 160 HQ-7 missiles, 250 Sea Wolf missiles, 500 P-800 Uhoq (Onyx) Anti-Ship Missile and 450 stealth BrahMso II anti-shipping missiles. Even through the huge salvo of weaponry that had been fired at the Japanese salvo, many of the missiles - due to the crafty use of decoys - made it through the web of missiles to be intercepted by the close-in weapons systems. Two Light Cruisers, three Missile Interceptors, were heavily damaged along with the A.N.S Judge and Jury taking a missile to the bow, ending all flight operations. A singly amphibious assault ship was also hit with two Dong Feng-21D (CSS-5 Mod-4) anti-shipping missiles, quickly sinking it to the bottom of the Tyras straight.

The wolfpack was beginning to ready itself for the killing blow of the Japanese fleet. They fired a large salvo of 200 Mark 48 torpedos, 320 DM2A4 Seehecht torpedos, 100 Spearfish torpedos, 170 Yu-6 torpedos, 100 Yu-7 torpedos, 200 A244-S torpedos, 175 Yu-5 ET34 torpedos, and 180 VA-111 Shkval torpedos were fired towards the Japanese fleet, along with 25 non-nuclear M45 SLBMs fired against the Japanese command ship. Each carried a 660 kT warhead, even one would devastate the ship and any around it.

The ICBM missiles launched towards Gorgoroth were intercepted without casualties or damage on the ground. Gorgoroth was a vital city to the recapturing of Helm and the Top Tier knew that eventually it would become the target for Japanese interest; they wouldn't get in unless they placed infantry units there first. It was hoped that the Blitzschalgen would eliminate that threat, and keep the air power from Gorgoroth flowing towards Helm.

//HELM//
//AERIAL FRONT//
//SKIES ABOVE THE CITY//
//BREAK//

If nothing else, progress was being achieved. Slowly but surely, victory was seemingly entering the pilot's grasp. The Shin Shin fighters were proving to be a heavy neussance, and though they often outmaneuvered the AF-77, they couldn't keep a tail on them for long. If the Shin Shin hadn't been a stealth aircraft, the abilities of the AF-77 would have been highlighted immensely; unfortunately that was not the case, and they had to adapt. The 30mm lock-on chain cannon located in the nose of the AF-77 began to be the weapon of choice for the pilots, as it was a non-negotiable way of taking down the Shin Shin aircraft when the Aquitaynian pilots got a bead on them. Missiles were proving to be too ineffective against the advanced stealth nature of the Shin Shin fighter, so bullets would have to do the job.

The Aquitaynian pilots did drastic high-G maneuvers to get on the tail of the Shin Shin fighters, even diving from above with their cannons blazing to try to bring them out of the sky. The range on the SAG-25 30mm auto-lock chaingun was about 4,000 meters, perfectly acceptable for the combat range being placed on the pilots over Helm.

* * *

This was to be the last major offensive to be had in the battle of Helm, with the Tripartite Pact being signed only hours later. The Japanese offensive claimed the lives of over 30,000 Aquitaynian ground troops, 7,000 Sailors, and 1,250 pilots. It was a battle that would never be forgotten, and overly, remembered in the ashes, blood, and minds of those who fought here; and in the hearts of those who did not.

Treicha, Panregic Ocean

Treicha. The place of blood, sand, anguish and death. Not once was victory truly possible in the grand scheme of the fight, and when the Japanese made their final and greatest push towards the Aquitaynian lines, it was met with almost no resistance; the Army Groups had been to late and were ordered to retreat, those left alive on Treicha were at the mercy of the Japanese until the Tripartite Pact could be signed. The artillery bombardment, mixed with napalm, white phosphorous, and other biochemical weapons devastated not only the Aquitaynian lines but the command centers and their natural protection by the forest.

The artillery bombardment claimed over 15,000 lives alone; the FOAB and MOAB munitions claimed over 5,000. The Japanese force quickly overran the front lines not far from the Tjerdas river, though some of the Aquitaynian soldiers still alive did in fact fight to the death, living the Norse tradition of dying with a weapon in hand. Others simply walked out of their trenches with their hands held in the air, surrendering to the Japanese war machine. The soldiers were demoralized, hungry and tired from the relentless bombing campaigns, and it showed. Their NBC gear was torn and crippled, the only still functioning equipment was their gas masks. Even then they were still exposed to the deadly concoctions of chemicals Japan managed to throw at them.

Not before quitting, however, Field Marshal Hamilton did give the war a final 'hoorah'. Before being killed by the large chemical attack on Caen, he authorized and enacted the launch of the entire 6th Fleet arsenal of Z-1X nerve gas to all cities belonging to Comrade Commisar, and more importantly the large troop concentrations of the Japanese Army Group. The entire arsenal of Z-1X consisted of 250 canisters, all delivered the same way the first nine had been; supersonic cruise missiles locked onto surface targets flew to their programmed destinations, killing as many Japanese as possible.

The crippled 6th Fleet headed for home, many of the ships, crippled, lagging behind. Only the submarines of the 6th Fleet laying mines hoped to keep the Japanese off their tails. The journey home would be long and tedious, and though defeat had been experienced on Treicha, the war was over, and thus no more men had to die. If nothing else, in the grand scheme of things, victory - in the eyes of peace, prosperity and the salvation of man - had indeed been achieved.

UBS Vanburan II
Hospital Class Ship
Admiral Nancy Jasuni
Helm, AQ Water-Ways

The giant white ship the size of 7 football fields arrived in Helm waters at last! There madian voyage was from the capital of The Grand Republic, Mondon. It was 8:00am in the morning when the Admiral walked onto the command deck.

"Madam Admiral On Deck!" Sargent Hillard yelled. Everyone stood up saluting the admiral
"At ease, my fellow seamen." She said nicely with her Sacapuntan' draw. She walked over to the window of the deck where she glanced at the smaller UBS Patriot and the UBS Hillberry, there destroyer escort. She turned towards the captain where he was standing watching her as he knew she was going to say something else. "Captain, whats are bearings?" She said in a nice voice.

"Morning madam, our bearings are 38 north and 67 west. We are entering the Helm Harbour as we speak." He said
"Captain, alert the escorts, tell them they will be setting up perimeters throughout Helm. Get in touch with AQ Command ask them where our docking stations are." She said facing him
"Aye-Aye madam." The captain said, then turned towards the sailor in front of the computer who handed him a white phone labeled "Bondel Navy". He spoke and said:

Command to UBS Vanburan, we are diplomatic hospital ship ready to aid citizens in Helm. Please allow us into one of your Docking stations. Over.

Treicha Province, Comraden Treicha

Victory was in the Comradens and Japanese grasps, only slightly out of reach.

Then, there was the gas. It choked the Comraden citizenry, it choked the Red Guard, a volatile brew of slow, painful death spewed from the cowardice of the Aquitaynians. Around 23,000 were victims of the gas, and the number only kept increasing. Bodies were in the streets, many taking on poses of final desperate attempts for survival. The ones who did survive... well, they had nothing to live for anymore. It was very likely that Comrade Commisar would turn the island into many labor camps, since the land was now contaminated beyond all comprehension.

Any surviving Red Guards in the field abandoned any shred of mercy they had for the surrendering Aquitaynians, many resorting to beating the enemy to death with their rifle butts, or forcing other Aquitaynians to kill their own comrades. Any prisoners left over would be shipped to Command Center 8, where they would live the rest of their non-existant lives. The war once fought with rifles and machine guns soon resorting to rocks and rifle butts. Men fought like savages, enraged that their families were snuffed out by the Aquitaynian gas.

Yet, some men wanted to burn this message deeper into the minds of the Aquitaynians, there would be little survivors from Treicha. The Guerrilla flagship, The Telora Burning, as well as some other ships sailed from the ports with any men left with any will to fight. The Aquitaynian mines were of little to no concern, all that was on the minds of the surviving Comradens was revenge. They would mark the end of this blasted war with a message, a replay of the Hellhound War - for force and murder was all the Aquitaynians seemed to understand. The Telora Burning would annihilate the remnants of the 6th Fleet, and then, only then, would there be contentness and peace.

Treicha
The Glorious Withdrawal

The troops rejoiced about their temporary victory, having nearly been able to smash their way through Aquitaynian positions. However, the news of the Ceasefire as well as the subsequent Tripartite Pact came to the ranks of the soldiers, with Takezo Kensei the overall Treicha commander ordering his forces to withdraw. All these troops were needed in Fukakku-Shingen, as well as in Hawaii, two different locations of desperately needing reinforcements. The war was over, moreover Japanese forces along the front lines broad-casted in both Japanese as well as in Aquitaynian that the war was over, the neither side needs to continue fighting. War horns were blowing giving the troops the orders to turn back. The incoming Aquitaynian missiles filled with Z-1X however were immediately dealt with a sweeping amount of 40N6 hypersonic surface-to-air missiles launched in masses from the Hanzo class JSLAV ADATS II AA-ABM Mobile SAM SPAAG IFV vehicles, which also used their attached SPAAG guns to fire into the air at the incoming missiles, while any Japanese aircraft in the air moved in to engage the missiles with their own air-to-air weaponry. In the end these combined efforts succeeded in saving the overall ground forces from major destruction, although 4,000 deaths were still suffered nonetheless.

At last, with victory accomplished, including saving much of the Japanese forces, Takezo Kensei told his Admiral to order all naval forces & their air arms to leave Treicha for Hawaii. Orders were similarly passed to all ground troops as well as aerial units to withdraw from Treicha in full leaving for Hawaii, save for a small contingent of 25,000 "Protectors" troops which would remain behind to remain in Comraden Treicha to protect it from future aggression. Just as the US would have done, Japan left behind a rapid reaction force to defend her ally in case tensions arose there once more. At the beaches, the main overall Japanese forces in Treicha got back into their landing craft as well as amphibious assault vessels, moreover were preparing to leave. The Japanese air forces were soaring away to Hawaii, whilst the naval air arm got back onto their carriers. With everything assembled, the fleet, the ground forces, the air arms, left Treicha in a glorious withdrawal of impressive force, leaving for the attempted operation to liberate Hawaii from enemy hands.

Helm
The Glorious Withdrawal

"Pilots, withdraw immediately from Helm. I repeat, command requests you in Australia." the Shin Shin fighters among the other air forces fighting over Helm received these messages, just as they were activating their thrust-vectoring as well as increasing their speeds to Mach 2.9 to perform drastic evasive manoeuvres from the Aquitaynian aircrafts, of which the Shin Shin fighters' stealth was being fully taken advantage of in these manoeuvres. The other air forces soon began to fly away from the overall front, fleeing in full speeds, while the Shin Shin fighters remained, launching a last volley of Mitsubishi AAM-4s at the Aquitaynian fighters, before they too began to withdraw. At last, despite suffering eleven more aircraft losses, the Shin Shin were mostly intact, leaving the war to go to better things.

"All forces on ground must immediately prepare to withdraw. Use all evasive means to escape the final enemy 'Hoorah'. Over." the orders were given to the ground forces, confirming the early news that the war was finally over. The recent artillery waves assaulting Japanese positions forced everyone to form loose formations to avoid being hit in clusters. Other evasive ground manoeuvres were being performed, such as taking cover behind something, or going into the trenches. These different evasive tactics succeeded in reducing the death toll of the recent Aquitaynian wave of artillery down to 25,000 deaths, while armoured forces immediately moved to fight the incoming waves of Aquitaynian armour, aiming their guns to fire 155-mm ETC (electro-thermal-chemical) depleted uranium rounds, or tungsten carbide kinetic kill high explosive squash heads into the enemy armour, while Hanzos & JSLAVs began launching waves of surface-to-air missiles as well as heavy anti-aircraft machine gun & flak fire into the air at the incoming helicopters.

Casualties from the helicopter attacks were mounting with over 100 armoured vehicles being smashed so far, while the rest immediately began to use every evasive manoeuvre or counter-measure weapon available to them, especially the Fumetsu tanks' profiting from their superior armour, to deflect the remaining assault, before withdrawing from the city itself. Just before ordering the artillery forces to withdraw, they began in retaliation lazing Aquitaynian incoming forces with with incendiary, fragmentation, white phosphorous and mustard gas shells, as well as occasional FOAB & MOAB thermobaric munitions, with over 50,000 shells, rockets, or other artillery weapons including either heavy mortars or infantry mortars, in which all these munitions ranged from 81-mm to whopping 400-mm munitions being thrown into the Aquitaynian forces, to provide covering fire as the overall Japanese ground forces in Helm began their massive glorious withdrawal. Armoured & mechanized forces were withdrawing whilst also providing heavy covering fire against the advancing Aquitaynian lines.

The Shin Shin fighters, before withdrawing completely, dropped hundreds of CBU-100 cluster bombs containing hundreds of depleted uranium, as well as tungsten kinetic penetrating cluster munitions in each of them, as well as overall explosions being that of FOAB bombs being dropped down below into the Aquitaynian forces, with the aerial bombings continuing to cover the entire Aquitaynian force in or around Helm to distract them while Japanese forces continued their retreat out towards the coastlines. A long while later, this was accomplished, all that covering massively overwhelming fire-power helped the troops withdraw although additional losses were reported to be 23,000 more foot soldiers having died in the Aquitaynian assaults, although the main forces were still intact, fleeing in a glorious manner, while the artillery, after relentlessly pounding enemy positions, finally began to withdraw as well. Some troops eventually began making megaphone broadcasts or certain radio operators would attempt to make contact with Aquitaynian commanders to notify them that the war was over, as well as demanding for a safe passage out of Aquitayne.

Some convoys of withdrawing forces began flying "Peace" flags of the United Nations as a signal that the war had ended, while others laid anti-personnel, anti-armour area denial mines, claymores, improvised explosive devices, "Dragon's Breath", as well as high explosive traps throughout the retreating lines in the tens of thousands to prevent the Aquitaynians from catching up to them. The Japanese naval forces had a different story on their hands. Incoming torpedoes were rapidly dealt with the wide scale use of depth charges, RBU-1000, RBU-6000 & RPK-8, Udav-1 (RBU-12000) anti-submarine & anti-torpedo rocket systems, as well as the numerous Kashtan, AK-630 & AK-630M1-2, Phalanx, Goalkeeper, DARDO, Denel, Oerlikon Millennium, Sea Zenith, Myriad, Meroka, as well as Type 730 Close-in Weapon Systems available throughout the surface vessels in the fleet to deal with the torpedoes. The incoming missiles were also dealt with mainly using the CIWS aforementioned, in conjunction with the usage of HHQ-9A, RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow, RIM-116 Rolling Airframe, RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (Aegis Air Defence), RIM-156 SM-2ER Block IV/RIM-67 SAM, as well as RIM-174 Standard ERAM surface-to-air missiles, launched in numerous salvoes in conjunction with the heavy anti-aircraft machine guns, flak fire, as well as CIWS throughout the command vessel as well as surrounding ships to destroy all the nuclear warheads coming towards them.

After the fleet successfully got rid of the incoming nuclear missiles, the fleet turned to unleash its own last "Banzai", compiling a total of one hundred Doragon-II anti-shipping hypersonic ballistic missiles, domestically designed ASBMs containing the capacity of excellent mid-course updating, increased range, as well as active-phase radar in the terminal stage. Additionally, to make these missiles even more difficult to intercept, they were integrated with the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, allowing them to circumvent over the Aquitaynian fleet, before crashing down at Mach 10-11 speeds down into the enemy fleet below them, hoping to cause furious destruction as these missiles detach with numerous decoys for each missile, unleashed some infrared flares as well as chaffs, while unleashing torrents of 30-mm high explosive cluster munitions down into the Aquitaynian fleet to damage them as severely as possible. These weapons would wreak havoc into the ranks of the enemy forces, just as the Japanese fleet begins to withdraw permanently, while also mobilizing to rescue the Japanese forces currently in mainland Aquitayne, to get them out of there as soon as possible. A request was lodged to all Aquitaynian forces on land to allow the Japanese safe passage to withdraw as much troops as possible intact to get them all home. A request was a also lodged to receive Aquitaynian aid in transporting these Japanese forces to Australia, a dominion of the Empire currently under heavy attack.

On shore, in the meantime, the Japanese ground forces from Helm, in their hundreds of thousands of surviving forces with assorted surviving hundreds of armoured, artillery, anti-aircraft/surface-to-air, as well as mechanized forces loaded into their landing crafts, transports, as well as amphibious assault vessels, to be transported as well as withdrawn from Aquitayne, to be sent straight to either the Fukakku-Shingen front, or to the Australian front to engage the Quendi there. The Japanese ground forces were also hoping the Aquitaynians would help them get there, as well as give safe passage. Additionally, the Yemeni forces that had almost come to land in Aquitayne to continue operations were now turning back as well, to be shipped off to the People's Province of Australasia where they would see action for once in their entire stationary career in the People's Province of Yemen. Now, if the Japanese forces had enough Aquitaynian & Comraden aid, they could out of here in no time. Future rescue operations were being conducted as several hundred Zeppelins from Burma, as well as numerous naval based helicopters from the fleet near Aquitaynian were being deployed en masse to evacuate foot soldiers that could immediately be taken away, while the Zeppelins would come later on if they were still needed.

A broadcast was issued to all Aquitaynian & Comraden forces in the region.

Code: Select all: Attention to all Comraden & Aquitaynian forces. In order for us to accomplish our withdrawal with little failure, moreover since the war was over, we request safe passage as well as some assistance in getting us out of here. Escorts to protect the flanks of our transport ships as well as our main fleets would also be welcomed. Additionally, as a sign of good faith to our new stance as allies in the Tripartite Pact, we would like to leave behind 10,000 troops in Helm to aid in the recovery of the city, as well as to keep them there as rapid reaction forces designed to defend Aquitayne (our new-found ally) against future enemies. Godspeed, Field Marshal Aung San Yu Kiyotong, of the 2nd Burmese Imperial Paratroop Army Group, in The Imperial Sino-Japanese Pan-Asian People's Liberation Army; Head Commander of All Operations in the Dawn of War.

IJN Sasumi
Hospital Class Ship
Admiral Zen Masuota

In the meantime the Japanese government had commissioned a fleet of one hundred hospital vessels carrying civilian emergency workers as well as humanitarian supplies to Aquitayne, including several biochemical & nuclear scientists to explore options of how to clean up the biochemical warfare that took place, as well as evaluate the extent of the environmental & long term effects the war would have. Several clean up vessels were also part of this fleet, while being escorted by four hundred Kamov KA-60 Utility Helicopters (to be used in rescue, humanitarian, as well as medical operations) as well as being escorted by five hundred Mitsubishi H-AZ191 Stealth Attack Helicopter Gunships to protect their flanks. On board the main hospital vessel, a converted Minamoto class Juggernaut capital ship, Admiral Zen Matsuota looked through his binoculars as the fleet moved closer to Aquitayne then before.

In addition to this, over 15 billion yen was on board the mercy fleet as it carried those numerous humanitarian as well as emergency supplies to aid civilians in Aquitayne, as well as to provide assistance to troops on both sides of the conflict. A similar fleet was also being sent to Treicha to examine the situation there, while medical personnel would soon be deployed to aid the Comradens in recovering from the genocidal Aquitaynian strike on Comraden Treicha. It was quite interesting how Japan suddenly found itself wanting to take care of everyone in this war. The two fleets of humanitarian assistance & environmental analysts requested permission from both the Aquitaynian & Comraden governments to pass into either country to perform their work. This was seen as Japan promoting stronger relations between each country. Henceforth, the war was over, at last.

Code: Select all: We are hospital ships deploying to help both sides recover in Helm, Treicha. We request allowance to enter your piers in your docks or ports, over.
