Invasion of Lolloh [MT-Closed]

[Inyourfaceistan]

IC THREAD HERE!!! PLEASE DO NOT POST OCC IN THE IC THREAD UNLESS ABSOLUTLEY NECESSARY!!!

This is a continuation of the Ruolnik conflict, a fight between the seperatist republic of Ruolnik and their colonial rulers in Lolloh.

After the initial revolution in Ruolnik, Lollohian police and army forces sought to crush the rebels. However, a coalition of nations, predominantly fascist, intervened on the side of Ruolnik, and after a quick and bloody victory, Ruolnik was given independence and the territory of Elescu as part of the peace treaty.

Unfortunately for the Ruol people, the prior coalitions quickly abandoned them, leaving Ruolnik alone against Lolloh and it's allies. Mitheldalond, an ally of Lolloh, moved a small naval contingent into Ruol waters for unknown reasons, while Lolloh seized the opportunity to grab Elescu without a fight. With their waters patrolled by a foreign and presumably hostile navy and their colonial enemies drawing closer from the north, the Isle of Lost intervened. After a brief naval shoot out with the Mitheldalon fleet, they moved into support Ruolnik, providing them aid and weapons.

An ally of Isle of Lost, Inyourfaceistan, better known as the RNI, joined the conflict by sending Marines to train Ruol soldiers, Internal Security Department (ISD) to train their police and SWAT units, and anti-counter insurgency commandos to train Ruol militias operating in the rural countryside.

For unknown reasons, another far-left Socialist nation Hazardland, invaded Lolloh, committing massive war crimes such as poison gas, diseased darts and radioactive dirty bombs, and prompting multiple nuclear explosions in north-western Lolloh. Hazardese paratroopers scattered across the country and into Elescu, and launched a year-long guerrilla war causing massive damages such as forest fires, power outages and disease outbreaks.

A violent terrorist movement, the Unionist Movement of Ruolnik, were formed in Ruolnik after the Ruol people excercised their right to vote and elected a president who didnt agree with Lolloh. The UMR began murdering everyone who they considered "traitors", which was everyone who didn't agree with them. After Ruol police, Ruol soldiers, Ruol militias, Isle of Lost soldiers, RNI marines and RNI ISD agents quickly surrounded the genocidal movement and wiped them out, capturing their leader, Henrik Jubbel. An Lollohian LIS agent then set of a bomb in a crowd of civilians, and other LIS agents worked to give the terrorist refuge in the Lollohian embassy, but their helicopter was shot down by Ruol Aircraft, and Jubbel was killed in the firefight that ensued.

Ruolnik, Isle of Lost and Inyourfaceistan then invaded the occupied terrority of Elescu to bring it back to Ruol hands and seek revenge for the support of the UMR. After a quick campaign of mostly skirmishes against Lollohian Police and Hazardese Paratroopers, the coalition was stopped at the border with Lolloh proper by Ontorisia, Romberg, and mostly Firmador, creating a "neutral zone" to stop both sides from fighting. However, the socialist empire of Hazardland quickly took a shit on everyone's plans and began attacking the neutral zone with poison gas and napalm. After a skirmish between nations occupying the nuetral zone, the territory was warped into a vertical stretch of land known as the Free State, occupied by Romberg and Ontorisia.

A third wave of Hazardese had moved into the waters north of Rewel and was engaged by Mitheldalond forces as they attempted to land.

Now reinforced, armored elements of the RNI army and marines moved north into Lolloh to defeat the Hazardese before moving back south the peirce the DMZ from behind to allow for a massive coalition flood into Lolloh to end the conflict. However, their plan was cut short, when after routing the Hazardese, the RNI commander foolishly and naively believed Lollohian cries for peace and withdrew south without a fight.

Meanwhile, an RNI submarine operating north of Rewel fired six cruise missiles armed with 150kt nuclear warheads creating a massive multi-burst high-altitude EMP attack that not even the EMP-hardened Hazardese vessels could withstand, effectively ending the Hazardese presence in Lolloh.

Ruol naval elements then seized an unaligned pirate nation in an attempt to stop unchecked piracy in Ruol waters. This prompted a massive imperialist island-grabbing showdown between Ruolnik and Lolloh, which raised tensions between Ruolnik and their anti-colonialist ally Inyourfaceistan; as well as giving Mitheldalond ships motivation to move south towards Ruol waters.

Without Hazardland to worry about, the Lollohians invaded Ruolnik, but were stopped short by the DMZ defenses, and the same RNI armored corps that had been tricked into withdrawing made a brief tactical puncture of the Lollohian defenses, causing their forces in Ninnipar to withdraw. Lolloh's ally, Eurostine, then turned against Lolloh, and defected to the side of the Ruol coalition after taking insane casualties on the DMZ. Lolloh then claimed to surrender, but only half their nation abided by the action, the rest assaulting Eurostine forces in the burning city of Rewel as they retreated from the conflict.

RNI forces then moved to defeat all remaining Lollohian army units, seizing Dekkar, launching stealth bomber attacks, and landing paratroopers, while Ruolnik occupied Tyvar and Isle of Lost occupied New Elescu. The Lollohians then retreated across the border into neighboring Shalauch.

A fascist Heratorian invasion of the Free State, now controlled by Ontorisia, somehow avoided all early warning systems and only a scant defense could be mounted to stop them. The massive invasion prompted Lollohian forces to attempt to retake their country back and install their deposed government.

Lolloh and allies claim:
- Ruolnik is aggressor by ignoring
- Ruolnik unjustly executes terrorists
- Ruol Coalition accuses leaders of war crimes they didn't do
- Lollohian citizens in Ruolnik should have a say in Ruol politics
- Ruolnik should also negotiate as an equal
- Ruolnik should be forced to have diplomatic relations with Lolloh

Ruolnik and allies claim:
- Lolloh is aggressor by instigating
- Lolloh supported UMR terrorists
- Lolloh committed ethnic cleansing
- Lolloh poses a larger threat to Ruolnik
- Lolloh ignores peace treaties
- Ruol politics should only be influenced by Ruol citizens
- Lolloh is both the looser, aggressor and has committed war crimes, only they should suffer at the peace talks
- Ruolnik should have diplomatic relations with whomever they choose

Lollohian Airspace
Already at 280km, visuals of what appeared to be hot birds began coming in. The tiny dots were almost impossible to spot, but the fact that they were colored a very pale orange helped. Realizing that it was likely stealth aircraft, all of the planes readied their defensive missiles and ECMs for jamming. Though a bit complicated, the missiles were spotted immediately by the computers and jammed. The bombers also fired a volley of fifty 50kg warheads towards the stealthy planes. Of approximately 130 missiles fired, 110 were intercepted or downed by jamming. Just 20 planes were shot down, incredible due to their number. With about 250 fighters and 40 bombers left, the decision was to pursue the stealth fighters and get into visual contact. A force of 20 bombers and 100 fighters was quickly assembled to go after the stealth aircraft and shoot them down. The stealth fighters were probably VERY expensive to make and develop, and shooting them down might very well hit the IYFs hard.

------------------------------------- Skies over Lolloh ---------------------------------

Only the jamming would have worked against the missiles, as many simply bypassed the incoming "interceptor" missiles and flew towards their targets.

Meanwhile, there must have been a glitch involving the opening of the internal weapons bays or something, considering there was no way in hell they would have been spotted by IR at that distance, as the technology to do so was undoubtably PMT. Apparently, the Lollohians were under the dilusion that any missile could down a stealth fighter at that range, they were dead wrong. The missiles harmlessly flew off course with nothing to lock on to, and the jet pilots made sure to stay out of relative IR radius of the incoming warheads.

The F-22's were long gone by now, and the faster and stealthier, albeit less maneuverable and versatile YF-23's decided that even though they held the elements of surprise, range and pilot skill, it was time to bug out. Twelve aircraft against one hundred fighters and twenty predominantly helpless bombers was still an unwinnable fight. They fired off their own full load of AIM-120 ARAAM's, resulting in 48 missiles racing towards the Lollohian aircraft.

Even if the twelve stealth aircraft had been shot down, the RNI could see them replaced easily, considering it had both the budget and the already existing numbers to do so.

------------------------------------- Fort Cross/Calamion ---------------------------------

The F-22's and their F-16 comrades were landing, and a new batch of aircraft were ready to go up when they were finished. Within an hour's time, fifty-two IEK-88 fighters and twenty-four A-10 attackers were taking off from the large airfields. Thirty-two of the IEK-88 fighters headed towards the areas where the stealth aircraft had engaged the enemy airforce, while twenty escorted the attack aircraft on their sortie over the Free State.

More supplies continued to come in, this time another 10,000 soldiers and 50 HAV-99 IFV's were landing and being transported to Camp Locus on the DMZ.

------------------------------------- Port Balezea ---------------------------------

The armada was now within sight of the deep-harbor Ruol port built on both steep sides of the river. They held back for the moment, allowing merchant shipping to clear before entering the mouth of the river. Currently in port was the remnants of the scout fleet that had been wounded fighting the overwhelming Mitheldolan fleet in the waters of Elescu and Wesselania.

Troop transporting cargo ships had already pushed ahead, and were now landing marine forces in Ruolnik. The first wave of freighters brought 50,000 marines along with 500 M1A2 Abrams tanks, 250 Type-102A mobile artillery, 1,000 BTR-80 APC's, 5,000 armored jeeps and humvees and assorted supplies. As the troops unloaded, they were immediately sent moving out towards Camp Locus on the DMZ, now largely a vacuum after the majority of the force is in the north of Wessel.

Confused though satisfied, the fighters and their bombers began heading back to Shaluach. They would touch down in about 3 hours.

Cauja
With limited resistance from weak and dispersed Ontorisan forces, the 3rd Tyvar Group had reached outer Caujasburg. The only reason to halt was to allow for mop-up operations to clear up the battlefield behind them. Tomorrow, the first stage of the Caujan Campaign, codenamed Operation Sovereign Right, was all but over.

"The results just came in" said King Eldahir, addressing his Chief's of Staff. "Both houses of Congress voted to approve the motion. If we do this, it could change the entire course of the war. For better... or for worse. This could have major repercussions for Mitheldalond, so I want to hear your honest opinions before I decide whether or not to put this plan into action." He looked around the advisers assembled around the table.
Lady Ariel spoke up first. "I believe we should do it" she said. "With the government overthrown or hiding in Shaluach, it's actually a fairly logical course of action, especially since it would only be temporary. Besides, with them printing Mitheldalond backed Teples as their currency, their economy is already entirely dependent on us."
"Yes, and with their military holed up in Shaluach, they're dependent on us for protection as well." said the Secretary of Defense, standing up. "If IYF or IL decide to start killing civilians, we're the only one's able to do anything about it. While I don't believe either nation will do something like that, there's always the possibility that someone like Hazardland could show up again, and it'll be up to us to stop them."
"Perhaps, but Lolloh still might object to this." Eldahir put in.
"Frankly Your Majesty," the Secretary of Defense replied, "They can object all they want. They really have no choice but to go along with it. As Lady Ariel already said, we control their economy, if they object too strenuously, we can just cancel all Lolloh-printed teples and shut their economy down overnight. If they want to use their military to resist, they'll have to fight their way through IYF and IL first. Even if they manage it, they're no match for our navy, and we can have the amphibious assault forces there in less than a week; they're already standing by."
"Oh for goodness sake!" Lady Ariel responded. "You make it sound like we're planning on taking Lolloh by force! They're our allies, not our enemies!" she turned to Eldahir. "All we have to do is make our intentions clear. Just send a letter to Prime Minister Hinton explaining the situation and our long term intentions, and everything should be fine."
Eldahir nodded. "Are we all in agreement to proceed with the plan?" The assembled officials all nodded. "Then let's do this."

To: The Governments of all nations involved, and the Commanders of their Forces Deployed

Be it known to all that, upon reviewing the current situation afflicting the besieged nation of Lolloh, by joint majority vote of the Houses of Congress, and by the Royal Decree of His Majesty, King Eldahir Valendur of Mitheldalond, the Government of the Kingdom of Mitheldalond does hereby issue the following declaration.

Due to the recent overthrow and dissolution of the Government of Lolloh, the withdrawal of Lolloh's Armed Force to a neighboring country, the occupation of Lolloh by the Foreign Powers of the Ruol Coalition, and Lolloh's economic dependence on the Kingdom of Mitheldalond, the Government of Mitheldalond does hereby deem Lolloh unfit to be an indenendent, self-governing nation.

Concerned for the safety of the Citizens of Lolloh, and the integrity of Law and Order within the nation, the Government of Mitheldalond hereby assumes direct administrative and governmental authority over Lolloh. As of this day, the 18th of July in the year 2013, the Federation of Lolloh shall hereby cease to exist as an independent sovereign nation, and shall instead become an Overseas Protectorate of Mitheldalond. All territories and assets of Lolloh, be they economic, political, or military, shall be under the full and direct control of Mitheldalond.

Lolloh shall exist in this state until the current crisis is averted, and proper democratic elections can be organised to select a new government for Lolloh. These elections shall be open only to citizens of Lolloh, and shall not be interfered with by any foreign power. Once a government has been firmly established, Mitheldalond shall transfer all governmental powers and responsibilities to the elected government, including the rights to direct internal and international affairs as an independent state, and shall instead assume an observatory role. The option will be given to Lolloh to once again assume its status as an independent sovereign nation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PEACE AGREEMENT

As part of its new responsibility for the safety and integrity of Lolloh and its citizens, the Government of Mitheldalond sets forth the following proposal to end the current conflict and provide for a lasting peace:

The conditions of peace, to be agreed upon by all belligerent nations shall be:

The immediate cessation of all hostilities between all belligerent nations.

The return of all POWs captured during this series of conflicts to their homeland. As a sign of good faith, Mitheldalond will begin this process by returning all 2,483 Inyourfaceistani sailors rescued from water following the destruction of the IYF fleet. All those rescued shall be transferred by helicopter from the Mitheldalondian fleet to any airport in occupied Dekkar of IYF's choosing.

The withdrawal of all military forces of the nations of Ruolnik, the Isle of Lost, and Inyourfacistan from Lollohian territory, being defined as all territory previously under Lollohian control north of the DMZ on Elescu's northern border.

All Ontorisan forces are to be withdrawn from the Free State within the period of one year, at which point control of the Free Zone shall be returned to Lolloh. It is believed that the resentment between Ontorisans and Lollohians will prevent them from living peacefully in such close proximity to eachother.

Reparations to be paid by Lolloh:

In recognition of its status as the losing nation in this war, Lolloh shall make the following reparations to the indicated nations.

To the nations of the Ruol Coalition:
Lolloh is to deliver an official apology to the nations of Ruolnik, IYF, and IL for its part in causing and prolonging this series of conflicts.

To Ruolnik:
Lolloh is to relinquish any claims it may have regarding Ruolnik, Elescu, and the Southern Islands. Any territory and non-personnel assetsstill held by Lolloh is the Islands will be handed over to Ruolnik.

Lolloh shall also release an official statement recognizing Ruolnik as an independent, sovereign nation completely separated from any and all Lollohian affairs.

To Ontorisa:
Lolloh is to issue a formal apology to Ontorisa for its role in the Genocide at Minx.

Lolloh is to deliver all information it has regarding the Minx Genocide to Ontorisa, and both nations are to form independent investigation teams to identify all persons directly responsible for the genocide. All persons identified shall be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity before an International Court. All persons found guilty will be surrendered to Ontorisa to be sentenced according to Ontorisan justice. Torture and other forms of Cruel-and-Unusual Punishment are not acceptable sentences.

While no material offering can make up for the horrific loss of human life during the genocide, Lolloh shall nonetheless transfer possession of the territory of Minx to Ontorisa as reparation.

Enforcing the Peace:

In order to maintain the peace between Lolloh and Ruolnik, Mitheldalond shall create and maintain a strip of land 10 miles wide along the Elescu-Lolloh DMZ. One edge of the strip shall be aligned with the Lollohian border of the existing DMZ, and the other will extend into Lolloh. The strip shall extend the full length of the DMZ.

In order to prevent either Lolloh or Ruolnik from interfering with the other, walls shall be constructed along both edges of the Mitheldalondian Strip. Further walls shall enclose a one mile wide strip of land in the center of the Strip, to serve as a base for the defensive garrison to be assigned to the Strip by Mitheldalond.

In the interest of preventing an attack by Lolloh or Ruolnik against the other nation across the Strip, no offensive weapons (including, but not limited to artillery and missile batteries) may be located within a distance of the Strip where they would have the necessary range to strike targets beyond the far side of the MS (Mitheldalondian Strip). This does not extend to weapons with an intercontinental range, as such a restriction would result in their being completely banned. Ruolnik's HARP guns are likewise not bound by this restriction. Mitheldalond shall also adhere to this condition, and not station offensive weaponry within the MS.

All defensive weapons (including, but not limited to, SAMs and ballistic missile defenses) are permitted.

Combat aircraft are not to be operated within 50 miles of either side of the MS. Any combat aircraft, Lollohian or Ruolnikian, entering the no-fly zone will be warned to turn back. Aircraft that do not comply will be fired upon by Mitheldalondian SAMs.

A 50 mile wide area of sea, starting at the Elescu side of the MS, and extending back into Lollohian waters, shall be off limits to warships and combat submarines of both Lolloh and Ruolnik. This area will extend out to the edge of the territorial waters of Lolloh and Ruolnik, and will be patrolled by a number of Mitheldalondian ships sufficient to oversee the area, but not exceeding this number.

Ruolnik's HARP guns are to be deactivated, but not removed. Deactivation shall include the removal of all projectiles from the guns, to be stored in a separate location, as well as any further measures necessary to prevent them from launching an immediate attack on Lolloh.

This document, and all terms, conditions, and provisions contained within, shall be binding to all signatory nations indicated below, by international law.

[Lolloh]

Etha
Speaker Haktuni cringed as he read the letter. Being absorbed into Mitheldalon? Horrible. However, Lolloh was, in fact, a well-functioning state. Reconstruction was already beginning, the LPC was retaining strong control over law and order, and, minus the use of the Mitheldalonian Teple, was relatively independent. Haktuni largely agreed with the letter. However, the one thing that bugged him was Minx. It had been a hard-won territory: almost 6 million dead in the fighting, and now Mitheldalon wanted to play 'quid pro quo' with it? Ridiculous. However, Haktuni knew his limits. If Mitheldalon withdrew their financial support of Lolloh, the country may as well have been hit with all the nuclear warheads in the world, which, by his calculations, were at least 4 billion. Not good. He decided to send a letter to Mitheldalon to schedule a peace conference, hopefully the last one of them all.

To: King Eldahir of Mitheldalon
From: Speaker Haktuni of the Lollohian Parliament
We fully agree to all your terms, and our military and what remains of the government will fully cooperate with the Mitheldalonian authorities to secure Lolloh. However, we are worried about the clause that states that Minx is to be returned to Ontorisan control. Minx is an integral part of the Lollohian Colonial Empire, and, due to very high losses, is regarded as Lolloh's by right of force. Taking it away will not only infuriate my fellow Parliamentarians, but also the people of Lolloh. Rather than directly hand over Minx to Ontorisan authorities, we would like to instead conduct a referendum on independence in Minx, to see what the people of Minx choose. Further, we are concerned about the fate of all weapons Lolloh currently has. You have made no clauses specifying them, and, while we would prefer to keep our weapons, believe that such clauses should be created to solve that problem. Further, I believe that a final conference, to be chaired in Dekkar, needs to be conducted, in order to, in person, cement the agreements that will, hopefully, end this war.

[Inyourfaceistan]

------------------------------------- Dekkar ------------------------------------------

General DeLoroza read the letter. He quickly crumpled the peice of paper up and threw it into the trash. Fuck'em. Fuck'em all. If they wanted peace they should have done so sooner. They should have stemmed the tide of war before the tables turned. Now, and only now that a coalition victory seems inevitable do other nations with their warped sense of self-righteousness do they intervene, probably only for the sake of looking good at the end of the day.

To: King Eldahir of Mitheldalond,
From: General Antonio DeLoroza, RNI
Encryption: Very High

I personally find your letter and actions insulting and offensive. You write words of peace as if we are backwoods savages slaying each other in droves with no end in sight. This is false, and there will be an end to the war, and with as minimal civilian casualty as possible.

Even if we were to submit to these actions, you cannot believe there is any way you could stand up to us in the long run. Any attempt to interfere will result in an unnecessary loss of life for both sides.

However, for the sake of the sailors in your custody, the previous letter will never touch the eyes of my superiors; lest it incur the wrath of the public. I will allow the sailors captured after the assault on our minor scout patrol to be landed in Dekkar International, and shall allow the evacuation of the three-hundred special forces personel from Dekkar.

The Mitheldalon were a hard lot to read. DeLoroza couldn't tell if they meant to be so offensive, or if that was simply a cultural divide. Either way, they were a formidable threat, and so far the only nation around that could stand a rough 1 to 1 kill ratio against his own forces. The idea of Mitheldalond being the one to patrol the waters and DMZ is what bugged him the most, as if they were somehow both stronger and more intelligent than the Inyourfaceistanis.

Meanwhile, Dekkar international was completely closed down. It was being used as a temporary military airfield, awaiting flights from Ruolnik to begin filling up the surrounding area with defensive forces.

[Lolloh]

Tyvar International Airport
People were furious at the IYFs rejection of what they saw as fair peace terms. Almost immediately, millions of people, organized by the Lollohian National Protesting for Freedom Organization (LNPFO) began demonstrating against IYFs and all other foreign occupants. Hundreds of thousands began a sit-in of the airport, to block any supplies or planes that might be going in. Thousands also began blocking and surrounding tank and infantry platoons, so that they were trapped by the peaceful marchers.

Cauja
Meanwhile, Operation Sovereign Right was over. The Ontorisan forces were small and scattered, and the mopping-up would be left to the Heratoian troops. A 100.000-man contingent was left to Garrison Caujasburg, while the remaining 3,5 million men began marching north to confront the IYFs.

[Inyourfaceistan]

--------------------------------- Southern Wesselania --------------------------------

Although unsure of their exact progress, word from forwards scouts were reporting that all hell was breaking loose in the enemy lines.
"Alright. Give'em another!" the commander of the paratroopers ordered the M270 rocket artillery. Now reloaded, the vehicles aimed their tubes up, and unleashed another spray of 100 MGM-164 ballistic missiles that soon turned into 1300 GBU-44B homing anti-tank munitions as they came down onto the Heratorian armor.

In the skies above, the sixteen A-10 Warthog attack aircraft selected their targets, both Heratorian and Lollohian armor, and came in for the kill. A barrage of 70mm rockets and AGM-65 Maverick guided missiles came screaming towards the enemy forces. As the heavily armored aircraft drew closer they unleashed their signature weapon: a 30mm depleted uranium gatling gun unique to the A-10 chassis. This high-powered minigun with an insane rate of fire could tear through troops and armor alike. A loud, thunderous "buuurrrgghhhh!!!" could be heard for miles as they sprayed rounds into the enemy forces.

----------------------------------- Camp Locus, DMZ -----------------------------------

The 50,000 marines and their supporting armor were now trickling into the small camp, awaiting deployment into Lolloh. In addition, another 10,000 army regulars had been flown in via air routes to Calamion. These reinforcements brought the number of combat soldiers in Camp Locus to 120,000 total, not including supporting vehicles.

----------------------------------- Calamion Airfield -----------------------------------

A flight was taking off toward Dekkar. The sixty-four Su-37's that had been brought in recently took to the air as escorts. Six C-17s and two An-224's were headed towards the occupied city. A single E-3 Sentry served as AWAC's for the mission, and the flight of IEK-88 fighters were acting as a flank-vanguard in case the Lollohian air force should attempt to stop them somehow. Meanwhile, dozens of F-22 stealth fighters were on call as back-up in case anything should go wrong.

[Lolloh]

Cauja
Radar noticed the Warthhogs, and sent a total of 400 missiles to hit them. The armor was also told to take evasive maneuvers. Only the rearguard of the armor was hit, eliminating 100 tanks. The remained of the group, about 2.500 tanks, continued north towards Dekkar. Steady progress was being made, partly because the entire group was mobilized. The SAMs were also programmed to hit enemy missiles that neared them or any other SAM, creating a mutual defense network that protected them from hits.

Dekkar
Millions continued to protest in the north. The city had essentially shut down, and thousands upon thousands of civilians began swamping and IYFs military units that came near them. The airport was being entirely occupied by protestors, who clustered on the runway to deny passage to any military planes landing. It had escalated to war between civilians and the the IYF military.

[Ruolnik]

Dekkar

With the riots flurishing, a new group slowly emirged from the underworld. The Citizens For Peace (CFL) was a new organization founded by Hyvar Jurvikk and was a first for both Lolloh and Ruolnik. The CFL was against BOTH sides and only for peace. They claimed that while Ruolnik was warmongering, the Lollohian Government would rather throw it's people into a meat grinder than be offended.

The undisputed goal of the CFL was to create a new Lolloh. One neither ruled by Ruolnik or by the former Lollohian Government.

Protests broke out around town. First at the airport, then at the capital building, then even at the police stations. The more-or-less peaceful CFL started to spread like wildfire. The original numbers were only in the low thousands, but once word got out people rushed out to join the cause.

Kelmak, Tyvar

News of the CFL spread even as far south as Tyvar. The people of Lolloh, sick and tired of their government's constant war with Ruolnik finally stood up to speak their opinions. All around Kelmak signs supporting slogans like "The Government kills more than Ruolnik" and "We just want peace!!" were common sights.

As stated before, the CFL was not quite freindly with Ruol Coalition soldiers and LPC alike, but as they were peaceful protests, only the occasional rock-throwing would ensue, and even then not for long.

Citizens all over Lolloh were standing up to voice their opinions against the actions of their government. Right and Wrong no longer matters, the people were sick of how the government constantly fought a war. A war that although could be questionable on winning and losing, didn't effect the government as much as the people who lost husbands and wives, sons and daughters.

[Lolloh]

OOC You can't RP my own citizens. That's a total godmod.

Dekkar
People generally supported the Lollohian Government, so largely ignored the CFL. The main protest group was the Freer and Sovereign Lollohian Front (FSLF), which was organizing about 40 million protestors in 15 different cities across the country.

Kenmak
The signs were few, with most people supporting the government, again. It had been most effected by the government's evacuation of Lolloh, so there numbers were much better, though fewer. The chant was "Foreigners=No Peace!" People were sick of Ruolnik's imperialism and lack of care for Lolloh. People wanted Ruolnik to get blown up, and saw their government's actions, which they believed largely to be the fault of Ruolnik, were at least partially justified. People were having doubts, but not to many.

(OOC if you need me to explain why 400 missiles is unlikely, and/or stupid, I can explain on the OOC thread, but for the sake of advancing the plot I'm going to roll with it)

The missiles from the SAM's were a problem, of course they hadn't learned their lesson and now exposed themselves to MGM-168 tactical ballistic missiles from across the DMZ. The A-10's deployed flares and radar chafe, some even took glancing blows but serious damage was prevent by their armor. Still, six of the IEK-88 fighters and eight of the A-10's were shot down, while many more of the low-flying but sturdy attack aircraft were damaged.

Apparently they were under the dilusion tanks could dodge guided missiles and out maneuver a minigun. The only thing keeping Lollohian casualties low was that the RNI planes were splitting targets between them and the Heratorians, leaving both sides with only half the effect of the sortie.

They then retreated back to Ruol airspace, many of them smoking as they came back toward friendly territories.

----------------------------------- Camp Locus, DMZ ------------------------------------

The M270a1 crews received word from the aircraft pilots regarding the location of the enemy anti-air missile batteries.
"All forces, this is Major Alexandre Sorejetto, friendly pilots have pegged the locations of enemy SAM's. Ready yourselves for launch."
"Roger that Sir, systems locked."
"Free fire enabled. Give'em hell."
With that, another 200 MGM-168 tactical ballistic missiles jettisoned off, flying onto the enemy SAM's with GPS guidance.

[Ontorisa]

Caujasburg
The Ontorisan Rangers had resisted fanatically, fighting off any efforts the Heratoian troops made to crush their last three strongholds. However, it was to no use, the Heratoian troops were exhausted and demoralized, the Rangers had found new strength to fight back. Civilians armed with weapons also resisted, ethnic Ontorisan insurgent cells popped up all around the former Free State and started to harass both Heratoian and Lolloh soldiers.
Then, the worst happened for the joint Heratoi-Lolloh forces. The 1st Regiment de Marina smashed through the Heratoian defences before sweeping around, avoiding the Lolloh and Heratoian main body of troops and securing the Ontorisan troops. All around the Free State, the Ontorisan regiments that were out in the field began to pour into Caujasburg, easily sweeping the Heratoian forces.
The Ontorisans were back.

Reparations to be paid by Lolloh:

In recognition of its status as the losing nation in this war, Lolloh shall make the following reparations to the indicated nations.

To the nations of the Ruol Coalition:
Lolloh is to deliver an official apology to the nations of Ruolnik, IYF, and IL for its part in causing and prolonging this series of conflicts.

To Ruolnik:
Lolloh is to relinquish any claims it may have regarding Ruolnik, Elescu, and the Southern Islands. Any territory and non-personnel assetsstill held by Lolloh is the Islands will be handed over to Ruolnik.

Lolloh shall also release an official statement recognizing Ruolnik as an independent, sovereign nation completely separated from any and all Lollohian affairs.

To Ontorisa:
Lolloh is to issue a formal apology to Ontorisa for its role in the Genocide at Minx.

Lolloh is to deliver all information it has regarding the Minx Genocide to Ontorisa, and both nations are to form independent investigation teams to identify all persons directly responsible for the genocide. All persons identified shall be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity before an International Court. All persons found guilty will be surrendered to Ontorisa to be sentenced according to Ontorisan justice. Torture and other forms of Cruel-and-Unusual Punishment are not acceptable sentences.

While no material offering can make up for the horrific loss of human life during the genocide, Lolloh shall nonetheless transfer possession of the territory of Minx to Ontorisa as reparation.

IC:

Official Communique to those Involved,

Minx will be returned to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth-at-Arms.

SIC:

Three destroyers and four frigates patrol, in a blockade-fashion, around Minx and would intercept any foriegn vessels allowing only Firmadores and Lollohian owned ships in. Others would be turned away. Round the clock two Illusions would be flying over the area, with an AWAC actively emitting its RADAR out some 500-600 kilometres.

OOC:

Case you forget, Minx is literally in my homeland I would have absolutely no IC reason to allow it to be transferred to an old enemy.

[Lolloh]

OOC You seem to be forgetting that I outnumber by quite a bit, Ontorisa.

Caujasburg
Apparently, the Ontorisans had resumed attempting to pummel Lollohian defenses. This was quite idiotic, since, even at their current low levels, Lollohian forces outnumbered the Ontorisans 4 to 1, if they didn't have any casualties, which they most certainly would. Lollohian militia also began forming irregular fighting cells, attacking their counterparts and even organized Ontorisan units. Lollohian forces weren't trained to fight an insurgency, so generally called in artillery to bombard the Ontorisan resistance groups. However, Lollohian troops were trained in urban warfare, and quickly began securing Cauja from insurgents and Ontorisan units. Armored assaults were also conducted. The purpose of these assaults was not to destroy the Ontorisans, but scatter them into individual companies and disrupt communication between them, making the companies weak and ineffective. Added to the 3.000 casualties taken from the original attack where an additional 7.000 from the ongoing fighting. The ethnic Ontorisan insurgent units only made ethnic tensions worse; creating the suspicion that any ethnic Ontorisan could be a supporter of Cauja. At least 285.000 were arrested and detained without charges, often by racist militia units. A total of 13 Ontorisan citizens were killed, mostly by trigger-happy racist insurgents who wanted to rid Lolloh of "those dirty, filthy Onties." The government itself attempted to protect all civilians from attacks, but, due to the sheer number of arrested individuals, it was hard. Prisons were overflowing. The fact that Lolloh could, at the moment, only produce 3% of its total food needs did not help the situation.

Wessel
The 3,5 million-man 3rd Tyvar Group had finally crossed into Wessel, going at a quick, mechanized speed. Their destination was Dekkar. While approximately 70 million people protesting, the going was relatively slow, though much quicker than by foot.

Lolloh
Millions were now on the streets, protesting everything from overpriced gasoline to Ruolnikian military intervention. Police were able to keep the situation under control, but looting was happening nationwide, due to the lack of domestic food production. Supermarkets lay bare, bread loafs going for $185 at the lowest. Electricity and water were secure, though food was fast running out. However, order was maintained, and, out of hundreds of thousands of stores, only 6 were ever successfully looted. In that melee, only about 100.000 protestors were from the CFL protestor group. The rest were coordinated by the National Protest Foundation (NPF), a neutralist organization that helped people to voice their opinions about any range of issues.

The Lolloh Gazette
Elections announced!
Kafvir, Etha - Today, Speaker Haktuni announced that elections would take place to replace the current government of Lolloh with a new one. "For too long, we have had a government created by the courts. Today, however, will be when we have a government created and supported by the people," said Haktuni in a 45-minute long press conference, as millions riot in the streets. Haktuni has asked for a two-week ceasefire to organize and conduct elections. The lack of food supplies, cut off due to Ruolnikian and Mericki intervention, has seriously compromised the food supply, and the LPC today hinted that it might ration food if the situation becomes to severe.

Elections!

The Issues:

The Economy
The economy of Lolloh in in a terrible shape. Over a total of 4 years, it had shrunken almost 30%, down to $11 trillion for 300 million people. However, the economy is fast recovering. Even as protests occur, massive reconstruction projects are occurring, rebuilding the neglected infrastructure. Lolloh's future seems fairly bright.

Foreign Policy
With foreign troops occupying Lolloh, many are raising the question: Should Lolloh intervene abroad to support Socialism? For years, the answer has been yes, though it is now in question.

Food Supplies
Lolloh can now only produce 3% of its domestic food consumption. Unless rationing is imposed, or Ruolnik allows trade, the Lollohian people will very likely starve.

The Parties:

The Economy
The SDP plans to keep state control as 25%, increase welfare checks to $30.000 a year, and begin massive state-encouraged construction, including subsidies and tax breaks.

Foreign Policy
The SDP plans to continue to campaign for Socialism across the world, though stay out of large military conflicts for at least 15 years, as well as drive out occupying troops through military force.

Food Supplies
The SDP plans to increase imports from abroad, as well as allow for genetically-modified agriculture, in order to increase food production. Against rationing.

The Economy
The SL plans to get rid of state control, decrease welfare checks to $5.000 a year, and then let the "free market" take its course, allowing for low taxes and little government interference.

Foreign Policy
The SL fully supports foreign occupation and retraining of a new Lollohian military to conform with Ruolnik.

Food Supplies
Tough luck! You didn't get here sooner? Well, then you DESERVE to die, loser!

The Economy
The NP planes to decrease state control to 3%, keep welfare checks at their current $25.000 a year, put state support behind a private-contractor reconstruction project, and keep taxes and regulations high so that corporations don't get out of hand.

Foreign Policy
The NP is in favor of reaching a diplomatic solution to foreign occupation, but then doing as they want against what they see as the Imperialism of Ruolnik.

Food Supplies
The NP plans to request food aid from Ruolnik to get into Lolloh, in order to prevent the civilian population from starving.

The Economy
The CP plans to put all companies under 100% state control, then rebuild the country using state monopolies. Taxes will be 100% and regulations in the billions. The CP will also flat-line equal pay, so that everyone gets the same salary ($35.000 a year).

Foreign Policy
The CP is in favor of intervening to protect Communism/Socialism whenever, and even conducting nuclear warfare with enemy nations to solve problems.

Food Supplies
Moving everyone to collective farms, so they can provide food for themselves through harvesting.

Public support for each:
SDP: 55%
The SL: 5%
The NP: 15%
The CP: 25%

[Lolloh]

Minx
The city was already ingulfed in massive pro-unification protests by the time the Firmadorian Navy intervened. The city was falling apart: 187 protestors were dead, 3.976 injured. The police were using live ammunition and APCs to suppress crowds of thousands. The beleaguered MJPF, composed of mainly Firmadorians, surrendered, but the 4.800 remaining Lollohian soldiers set up barricades around town hall, arrested the Viceroy, and prepared for a fight to death, with 500 APCs and 5 tanks available to then.

[Firmador]

In Firmador Minx was offered up to private citizens, at least the parts of it that were owned by a government organization or laid idle by emigration, whom purchased 560 million dollars worth of property, or roughly 13% of the total square area. The remaining 28% was mostly open plains that could serve as suburbs and its capitalization was expected to be around the 600 million dollar mark. Next, the Commonwealth-at-Arms would use the 560 million to purchase food staples, mostly non-perishable canned goods or MREs, and have them sent to Lolloh on the condition: that they be equally distributed to the people, not on a spurious basis of wealth.

After tough negotiations with another nation they were able to purchase a mixture of one billion mixed MREs and canned goods. While this was only the start technical engineers would begin flooding the capital of Lolloh, some 20,000 mostly civilian, would arrive to help orchestrate the construction of a "Special Period" Cuban-esque urban agricultural program. Already 100 million would be invested to construct four recyclable vertical farms, this was expected to help mollify the crisis since it knocked down one of the heaviest costs of the agriculture industry; transportation. Though it would take a year to build Firmador vowed to continue to lend aid anyway it can.

A special request was sent to the Lollohian government: We beg of you to abolish your anti-gun laws. We have a stock pile of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of outdated equipment that could be used to help your denizens defend themselves by the very practical issue of foreign aggression. This is not a request to your occupiers, the Mitheldalondens or others, it is to the people. The entirety of the funds raised, which could be calculated at roughly half a trillion dollars, would go towards the purchase of additional food stuffs to be rationed out to your endangered population. The genocidal acts of Ruolnik, in their overtly invidious designs to instigate famine in your country, will not go unnoticed.

In Minx government soldiers were moved in to quell the riots, though the hot spots directly surrounding the town hall, composed of some 20,000 people, now had weapons from the surrendered MJPF and these very people would be the ones most likely to storm the facility, as they would once night fell, and it was unlikely the Firmadores regulars would arrive in time to stop them.

[Lolloh]

The Firmadorian actions were happily accepted. Gun laws, however, were to remain in place: Only single-shot rifles and 6-round revolvers. However, the agreement was to allow the weapons for the duration of the war, then confiscate them once it ended.

Minx
The Lollohian regulars were now holed into the city hall, with several thousand people, it seemed, ready to storm it. Eventually, Colonel Paluki, commander of the Lollohian forces, had no choice: He ordered a tactical airstrike on armed civilians. The FAFL had a total of 15 jets stationed in Minx, and, wisely enough, had put them, full to the brim, into the air before the airport could be stormed. Now, those same fighters, equipped with 5 offensive strike missiles each, rained death onto the crowd outside of the city hall.

The strikes, involving 75 missiles, appeared to have success. 4.500 Lollohian soldiers were now cleared to move forward, as thousands of vigilantes were blown to pieces. Friendly fire, however, also killed 315 Lollohian soldiers, a very tragic loss. At that point, the men joined up with Firmadorian regulars, and began routing the city of vigilantes, using APCs and live ammunition to subdue their attackers.

[Firmador]

20,000 people were killed in the air strike, upon reception of Firmadores regulars were very peculiar with the Lollohians stationed at Minx. Many of the rioters had been Firmadores and it didn't sit well to see their tan skin covered in blood and shredded pieces of white bone. The sale of firearms was not yet completed but already 1 billion had been made and this was again funneled back into the starving Lollohian country. Colonel Paluki was ordered to go to the capital of Firmador, Sandino and speak with the President-for-Life Amar.

[Lolloh]

Minx
The bodies were quickly identified and removed. Total deaths: 23.000, of which 1.000 were military/police. The clean-up was fairly easy, everyone being to nervous to step outside.

Over Dekkar
"Copy, this is Survival 1 to Shalauch Tower, over."
"Copy, what do you need, Survival 1?"
"Nothing, over. Just informing you of my airdrop: 800 tonnes of supplies, over."
"We copy you, drop em."

A total fleet of 300 cargo supply planes, carrying 6 million tonnes of supplies, such as food, had begun to conduct massive airdrops to the civilian population. They had informed all security forces below of what they were doing, so that the planes could fly in low and drop the necessary supplies.

[Inyourfaceistan]

---------------------------------- Southern Wesselania ----------------------------------

Scouts were reporting the Heratorian offensive was fast failing to a Ontorisian resurgence. However, it would be awhile before the Ontorisians drove the Heratorians into the sea.
"Alright, all rocket artillery units, give me a third barrage."
Once again, crews worked to load in their MGM-164 warheads into the M270a1's; although they were now running low on that exact ordinance. When each unit was ready, they fired off another two of the short-range ballistic missiles, which sent another one-hundred missiles flying just under a hundred kilometers to burst into over a thousand bomblets guiding onto Heratorian armor.

------------------------------- Fort Cross/Calamion Airfield -------------------------------

With the A-10's and IEK-88 fighters returning, another wave of aircraft were preparing for take-off. Thirty-two F-16 light multirole fighters escorted by sixteen F-22 stealth fighters were lifting off and headed towards the bay between Ruolnik and Wesselania that harbored the coastal territory of the Free State. Right now, the waters that had seen a brief shoot out between RNI, Merickian and Mitheldalond surface fleets were housing a Heratorian naval force, that was currently a threat to both Ontorisians and Ruolnik. The planes hit altitude, and went supersonic...

------------------------------------ Camp Locus, DMZ ------------------------------------

The M270a1 rocket artillery had little knowledge of the impact of their first strike against the enemy SAM's in neighboring Cauja. However, they still sent another barrage of the GPS-guided missiles towards all Lollohian and Heratorian SAM's within 300km of the Elescu border.

------------------------------------ Occupied Dekkar ------------------------------------

Almost exactly similar to what the Lollohians had done to the RNI invasion, the protests, were largely ignored. Of course, it was a lot easier to ignore a few picket lines and chanting civilians than it was tanks and APCs rolling through.

The cargo aircraft were landing, almost entirely packed with supplies and ammunition to prepare for a long seige of the city, mostly MREs and anti-tank munitions. Quickly unloading them, the supplies were rushed to various depots around the city. After circling around twice to assure the safety of the cargo planes, the Su-37 fighters then began landing and parking in various make-shift hangars. Meanwhile, the combat engineers were working to fortify the airfield with barbed wire and machine gun emplacements, as well as smart mines and IR cameras. Manned checkpoints began popping up all over the city, barricades of sandbags, metal tire jacks, and an armored vehicle or so.

"Survival 1 this is LoCom-3. You have a clear pass over. Skies are open, and you will not be fired upon.".
Tactical SAM's were active, as always, but they were not expecting to have to put up resistance against an airdrop of food and medical supplies.

-------------------------------------- Port Balezea --------------------------------------

The armada had now docked in the Ruol port, and was taking care of all necessary business before preparing to head north. They had linked up with the remnants of the scout fleet, and added them to the larger mass of ships.

Meanwhile, another 50,000 marines alongside 1,000 BTR-80's, 250 M1A2 Abrams and 100 LAV-AD integrated amphibious SAM's as well as armored jeeps and supply trucks necessary to ferry such a large force over land, had landed, and were now moving out toward Camp Locus.
