A Nation at War - Neigelandic Revolution [CoIN Only]

[Neigeland]

1994 - 1996

For over two decades, the people of Neigeland have suffered under a regime which serves none but itself. In 1971, a coup d'etat by General Warren Graversen, the commander of the Neigelandic Armed Forces, removed the government of Prime Minister Samuel Bradley from power, after it refused to engage the Neigelandic people in its debates. As allowed under the original Constitution of Neigeland, the Armed Forces enacted Emergency Law and were granted the right to rule. With his new found powers, General Graversen passed the Emergency Law Act 1972, which effectively replaced the old Constitution of Neigeland as the country's fundamental law, suspending almost all constitutional practices and protections, and removed the Neigelandic Monarch, a hangover from colonialism, Queen Elizabeth II, from power. The Council of State, the country's legislature, was created in 1974 to replace the suspended Parliament of Neigeland, although only one party, the National Revolutionary Party, supported by Graversen, has ever gained representation.

With their near total control over Neigeland, the party and military government began enacting the policies of Neigelandic Socialism, a belief system inspired by many of the tenets of National Socialism. Their aim, to further the Neigelandic 'race', namely, White, Western Europeans, and their descendants, by discriminating against and persecuting the minorities that live in Neigeland. There, it is thought, lies the real reason for the coup d'etat - in the years prior the government had loosened immigration restrictions to allow more people of different backgrounds emigrate to the country.

Atrocities, such as the Massacres of Fraser in 1985 and 1989, where it is thought as many as 10,100 Chinese, Japanese, and Polynesian Neigelanders were slaughtered, have since become too regular an occurrence. In Graversen Square, which sits at the center of the City of Fraser, the Hanging of the 'Known Thirteen', in August of 1994, sparked the beginnings of a revolution. These thirteen individuals, the leaders of the underground opposition in Neigeland (the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland), spoke words of war, galvanizing the onlookers to commit the Fraser Riots. It is thought as many as 1,910 individuals were arrested in the ensuing fight. The Day of Civil Disobedience, on September 1st, forced the Government's hand. In order to quell fears of a rebellion, the Armed Forces bombed and destroyed an entire town, Idaho Falls, leading to the death of, it is thought, up to 28,100 people.

This only furthered the rebel cause. The revolution is in full swing, and brother is fighting brother to decide the future of Neigeland. Where do you stand?

Rules of the RP

• Please do not participate in this RP unless you have already TG'd Neigeland, and he has said it is okay for you to participate. This RP is closed.
• Neigeland, as, weirdly, the neutral party, will moderate the thread. Anything he says goes, i'm afraid.
• This RP follows a loose timeline. This means that the ending is fixed, and cannot be deviated from. The way in which the RP can reach that point, however, is completely open, and I am not telling you the end to make sure that it feels like a real, open war RP until the very end.
• Because of this, if the ending looks like it will be impossible, Neigeland may send a TG around to all of the participants telling them to do/not do something. Please do this. Hopefully this will be a rare occurrence.
• Declare all of the weapons your country is bringing on its arrival in Neigeland. This equipment, plus any other equipment you may RP the arrival of, will be all that you are allowed to use in the RP.
• Keep the military equipment realistic and to that which existed in 1995 please. No future tech.
• NO NUKES, PLEASE!!!
• RP the movement of all of your military equipment around Neigeland. Teleportation isn't real, sadly.
• When moving troops, please refer to the maps that I will be posting every day, to ensure that you are moving through or above allied territory. If you are going to be moving through enemy territory, end your post in a place where it is possible for your troops to be attacked by the enemy. They do not have to be, but it would be unrealistic for you to send troops through a city controlled by the enemy and come out perfectly fine.
• When engaging, use the 70% rule. That is, ensure that you do not completely eliminate the troops of the enemy unless you have TG'd them, and they have explicitly said you can do so. 70% is a high enough number that your troops can pass them, if you want to, so that the RP can still progress, just not unrealistically.
• Soldiers die. There is no such thing as "body protecting shield force field armor" or anything like that, so you should be prepared to lose some of your soldiers.
• Please make your posts good. No one line posts along the line of "Blankland's troops entered Boise, and killed 70% of the rebels." I'll cry if you do.
• Lastly, Have fun and enjoy the RP!

[Neigeland]

The Neigelandic Revolution is being fought between two sides, the Government forces, also known as 'the State', and the opposition, consisting of both the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland, or 'REPAN', and the Free Neigelandic Republic, or 'the Rebels'. Each side fights for different causes, and brings with it its own merits and drawbacks.

Below is a summary of each side of the conflict.

~

Republic of Neigeland
Government Forces

The Republic of Neigeland represents the military government that has been ruling Neigeland since it seized power in a coup d'etat in 1971. Led by the President of Neigeland, General Warren Graversen, they have all but overthrown the old Neigeland, replacing the Constitution, removing the monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, from power, dissolving the Parliament of Neigeland, and enacting Emergency Law, suspending almost all civil liberties and constitutional protections. The Republic of Neigeland is fighting for the principles of 'Neigelandic Socialism', a belief system that is based off of the tenets of National Socialism and Fascism, and aim to further the prosperity of white, western European Neigelanders, by systematically oppressing and slaughtering ethnic minorities, the disabled, and LGBTQ individuals.

Leader: General Warren Graversen
Belief System: Neigelandic Socialism (Fascism)

Forces: Approximately 58,290
Defected: 51,349 (Since onset of war)

Major Cities Controlled: Fraser, Rainier, Willamette, Eugine.
As of March, 1996

Supported By: the National State of Mexico, Texas and the Southwest and Yurizlansia offer military and economic support.

~




Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland
REPAN | Socialist Forces

The Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland, or REPAN, is the second largest opposition force on the ground in Neigeland. It has been active in Neigeland since before independence from the United Kingdom in 1964, but has taken on a new role since the coup d'etat in 1971. Led by Alexander Mitchell, they fight in the name of the workers, who have been so oppressed by the Republic. They have galvanized support through clever propaganda tricks and organized resistance, such as the call to arms made by the members of the Known Thirteen during their execution which sparked the start of the revolution. They are exceptionally skilled in guerrilla warfare, and have been fighting in Neigeland in one form or another since 1931, bringing with them exceptional knowledge of the country's mountainous and forested terrain and a sophisticated intelligence and supply network.

Leader: Alexander Mitchell
Belief System: Socialism

Forces: Approximately 16,290
Defected: 31,617 (Since onset of war)

Major Cities Controlled: Boise
As of March, 1996

Supported By: India Mughal offers military and economic support.

Free Neigelandic Republic
FNR | Rebel Forces

The Free Neigelandic Republic, with it's militant wing, the Neigelandic Forces for Freedom, was founded by Jennifer Robinson and her unit of Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland (REPAN) soldiers upon their discovery of the Atlin Town Massacre in July of 1995. They are generally considered the 'moderate opposition' in Neigeland, founded on the principles of not being either the government or the socialist forces, and committed to human rights, as shown by their flag, which depicts the 'two crosses'. Their founding document, the Declaration defining the Principles of the Revolution and the Future of the Neigelandic People, establishes their dedication to democracy and respect for life, equality and justice. When it was founded in June of 1995, signifigant numbers of government and REPAN forces switched allegiances, making the Free Republic the largest force on the ground in the Civil War. They have a nervous alliance with REPAN, as the major opposition force, but conflict remains over the treatment of minorities.

Leader: Jennifer Robinson
Belief System: Liberalism

Forces: Approximately 82,750
Defected: 15 (Since onset of war)

Major Cities Controlled: Juneau, Columbia, Victoria
As of March 1996

Supported By: Kin Jidai, Paglaum and the Italian Realm have offered military support.

[Neigeland]

February 1995

The war has just entered its most violent phase - territory has been secured by the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland in the north and surrounding the city of Boise. Whereas before the conflict seemed to be limited to sporadic violence and acts of civil disobedience, it seems the conflict has transitioned into a full scale war. Below is the updated conflict map for February 1995, with territory controlled by the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland (REPAN) shown in Red, and that controlled by the Republic of Neigeland (Government Forces) in blue. Major cities are represented as squares.

[Paglaum]

PAGLAUMIAN RESPONSE

"It is with great disgust, that the Royal Paglaumian Federation has found out that communist radicals are rising up in Neigeland. A band of communists, trying to turn Neigeland, a Republic, into a terrorist state. A state as shameful as Peru in its economical standing and civil rights issues... Our nation officially condemns the "People's Revolutionary Army of Neigeland", which shall be placed on the list of terrorist organizations by the Paglaumians. We announce our full moral and military support to the Neigelandic Republic. We won't stand still as these ignorant bolsheviks, seeking to brutalize the proud people of Neigeland, try to bring a terrible change through violence."

-Chancellor Harry Schmidt (Fascist Party), on a strongly-worded announcement. Denouncing the communist rebellion and pledging support to the Neigelandic Republic.

[Yurizlansia]

Yurizlansian Response

"Yurizlansia, while a kingdom completely supports democracy. The Republic of Neigeland supports democracy, and wishes to preserve it. Times have been hard for republics and constitutional monarchies who support free trade, with the communist gaining power in certain areas of the world. Yurizlansia is proud to say that we have never fallen to communism. Ever. Even while our neighbors to the North and West had fallen under the influence we would not allow it. I will continue to make sure communism is suppressed, thus saving the world from tyranny and death. In conclusion, Yurizlansia pledges its support for the Republic of Neigeland and will do whatever it takes to stop the influence of communism from spreading."

[The National State of Mexico]

OFFICIAL RESPONSE OF THE NSM
The National State of Mexico announces SUPPORT of the rebels but with the ultimate goal of forcing reform and not replacement in the Niegelandic government. Change into a system similar to the National State of Mexico's that combines the doctrines and ideas of Fascism and National Socialism with those of Classic Liberalism are the ultimate goal for support.

Should the rebel faction go rogue on the interests of the NSM, the government will SUPPORT government troops and offer DIRECT MILITARY INTERVENTION as a last resort offer. This is an incident that concerns the Americas and, therefore, the majority of the members of the TREATY OF CONSTANTINOPLE.

OOC: Besides, after the Sinaloan democrats incident we really hate you.

[Neigeland]

Republic of Neigeland
BOISE, REPUBLIC TERRITORY

21st FEBRUARY, 1995

Ollie Armstrong stood and watched over his city. Boise. It had been his home since he was born, he was raised, educated, and employed here, and raised a family here. And yet, he could not help but feel disdain for this place. So many of its residents, so many great people, even many of Ollie's own friends, had been lured into the criminal gangs that have begun to terrorize, not only Boise, but Neigeland as a whole. These friends, who he had considered close, many of them were even practically family, had decided to commit the ultimate acts of treason against the Neigelandic people.

Daily, he lived in a careful state of balance between collapsing and crying to shooting his gun at anyone, and anything, in rage. Namely because. although these friends were family, they were the individuals that had killed his. In refusing to keep quiet about the plans of REPAN in Boise, and informing the government, he was well aware of the risk he placed his family in, but did not think that his friends had the courage to carry out their threats.

The thought of his mother's and father's headless, blood covered bodies lying in his living room still haunted him, and flashed through his mind for another time. He held down the vomit, needless to say such a sight is sickening, and got back into his position. He was standing atop the One Capital Center building, the tallest in Boise, armed with a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher, ready to fire on any rebel forces that make their way into the city. REPAN forces were surrounding the city, controlling territory extending fifty kilometers outwards, and ready to take over the remaining Government city in the south east. The distant sound of gunfire could be heard getting nearer.

Over his walkie-talkie, orders were passed. The regional commander, Declan Taylor, barked orders; "Nest, get into position, rebel forces are heading your way!" That was him. His heart pounding harder than he'd ever felt it before, he glanced over the concrete wall behind which he was standing. On the road below, a terrifying sight. Hundreds, if not thousands, of rebels, were marching through the streets, waving the red flag of REPAN. He steadied his sniper, and took out some of the rebels. In the towers surrounding him, other government forces, armed with machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, fired on the crowd. The rebels, previously jubilant, ran in all directions. The screams of terror rang all around, but he chucked. "Serves them right.." he thought, as he chanced a look over the concrete wall a second time.

It was no longer the flag that was red, instead the street was covered in blood and the bodies of the dead rebels. He guessed around four, five hundred bodies were lying in the street, leaving a similar number in the city. Over his walkie-talkie, Ollie heard the call to arms, "Units, rebel forces have penetrated the outer defenses, and are in the city. Hold your ground. G. Brigade, explore." The gruff voice of the G. Brigade commander followed seconds later, with a simple "Aye, Aye."

Ollie became calmer. His position was looking out onto the valley of concrete that the rebels had just fled from, ergo, he was pretty secure in his safety. Soon after, the call for reinforcements rang out from his chest (well, his walkie-talkie, but it was strapped to his torso). "Central Command, Central Command, this is the South East Division, calling for air support. Rebel forces have stormed Castle, I repeat, Rebel forces have stormed Castle. We're in need of immediate air assistance." They would almost certainly not be getting air assistance - the government only had a limited number of jets and missiles due to the embargoes placed on the country, and it was unlikely to use them unless it was deemed necessary. And given that there were only a few hundred rebels to match, the situation wasn't too daunting or serious.

The Battle of Boise was on.

~

TL;DR

REPAN Forces have entered Boise, and destroyed the city's outer defenses. The Armed Forces' South East Division has called for air support from the Government, but it is unsure whether it will arrive. However, the Armed Forces remain in a strong position, holding strategic watch points, and having launched a surprise attack on the REPAN forces as they headed into the city center, killing half. An estimated for or five hundred REPAN forces remain in the city.

[The National State of Mexico]

The National State or Mexico will put it's troops on standby as this is an opportunity to expand it's influence and consolidate itself further as a large influence in the Americas. The following naval units will be sent near the Niegelandic coast when the orders are dispatched:
-4 Hidalgo-class Aircraft Carriers, with their protection squadrons totalling 44 vessels.
-8 Victoria-class Helicopter Carriers
-16 Morelos-class Missile Destroyers
-32 Diaz-class Missile Boats
-10 Pípila-class Monitors
-10 Mk1 Ambhibious Landing Vessels
Furthermore, transport ships enough for ferrying a division of Marines (10k men) will be provided.
Mechanized units will be as it follows:
-120 MBTs
-200 Light Tanks
-180 75mm SPFGs
-230 IFVs and APCs
-500 Transport cars, most armed.
-100 pieces of artillery, NOT including infantry mortars
-60 SPA
-30 SPAA
-350 Helicopters, 80 Attack.
-120 Fighters
-150 CAS Aircraft
Plus strategic bomber wings operating from the National State of Mexico.
Reinforcements will be provided, in a worst case naval scenario coming from the Republic of Texas and the Southwest.

They carry radio jammers used to jam enemy radar screens. The jets arrive at Juneau airspace fifteen minutes later and began releasing hell seeker missiles on government troop bases and missile installations. The airport control towers are hit with four cruise missile strikes and the teminal is bombed to rubble.

[Neigeland]

Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland
BOISE, REPUBLIC TERRITORY

11th MARCH 1995

Dawn broke over the war-zone that had become of Boise. The sky, smoldering, red with the flames of war that had captured this city for the past three weeks. But the end was nearing. What was left of Unit 17 of the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland (REPAN), which had attempted to take Boise those three weeks ago, was reinforced, and joined by further units. An estimated 1,750 militants were now in the city. And the sound of gunfire, previously limited to short and occasional rapid fire bursts, was near constant.

Much of the city was now under the control of REPAN, and English Square seemed to be the final battleground. The Square is dominated by the Tourtellotte Building, once the seat of colonial government for Eastern Neigeland. It's stone form stood as a monument to the fair, albiet colonial, government that Neigeland had enjoyed prior to the coup d'etat two decades ago, and prior to the chaos caused by this war. The irony, of course, of REPAN fighting to overthrow a local government, however tyrannical, after it had fought for half a century to overthrow colonial rule, was not lost on the REPAN fighters. But such thoughts must be pushed aside in moments as this.

The street leading to English Square, Central Avenue, was a minefield, quite literally. Bodies, barbed wire, and undoubtedly, bombs, lined the way. In the distance, standing, surrounding the Tourtellotte Building and the Square itself, were the final Republic soldiers of Boise. Casey Harmon, commander of this unit, glanced around the corner of the stone building that shielded them from the bullets of fascism. A game of cat and mouse, or, strictly speaking, looking at each other in the eye, ensued between the Unit Commander and the General of the government forces. Neither wanted to fire. Both could see the fear in each others eyes.

A smile crept across Casey's face - she was well aware of the ways in which this could end. The forces of the Republic looked ready to surrender. They had fought for three weeks to defend this city from the forces of REPAN, but to no avail. The city was surrounded, the territory secure, and, presumably, no help for the Republic forces was about to arrive. She spared a last look at the commander of the Republic forces, before stepping out into the range of fire, pointing her weapons. But she did not see the white flag of surrender fly from the barricaded troops, no. Instead, she saw her birth, childhood, ad-hoc memories of her life flash before her eyes.

Seconds later, the bang of the gunshot had galvanized the REPAN forces. Lying dead on the floor in a growing pool of her own blood was their commander, the individual many had come to know as their friend. In anger, they rounded the corner, and charged at the government forces, firing their assault rifles, throwing grenades, in all directions. The small garrison of government forces was overwhelmed, shot, killed, or surrendered, they were defeated. Boise was theirs.

A lesson to be learned from this? The death of a commander can change a war; not because their impact is so large, but because the people they leave are so strong. And as the red flag of the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland was raised atop the Tourtellotte Building, the soldiers assembled below saluted, and paid tribute to, not only their dead commander, but also to the death of the old regime, and the birth of a new. For, however insignificant a city as this may seem, it represents the first major city REPAN controls. Jubilation can be forgiven.

~

TL;DR

REPAN Forces have taken control of Boise, their first major city, but one of REPAN's most prominent leaders, Casey Harmon, was killed in the battle.

Republic of Neigeland
JUNEAU AIR BASE, REPUBLIC TERRITORY

11th MARCH 1995

The orange flames of fire raged, with no end in sight. Just moments before, the roar of fighters had engulfed the ears of all the airmen on the ground, whose screams now replaced the void of sound left when the jets had passed. A squadron, maybe two, had flown over the air base, the center of Neigelandic Armed Forces' operations in the north of Neigeland, and destroyed everything in sight. The fighter jets, a relic of the sixties but powerful nonetheless, the transport craft, all of it destroyed.

The air base was almost unrecognizable from how it had appeared several weeks prior. It was full of life, the soldiers were jubilant, certain that this 'revolution' as the rebels liked to term it would be over in no more than a couple of months. They had fighter jets, the rebels had pistols. But what they had not accounted for, even when they should have expected it given they have lived their entire life under the regime, is the flow of lies they had been fed. That the international community backs them, that the rebels controlled no more than a few very communist farms, and that they numbered less than four or five hundred. This is what they had been told and what they had believed. Indeed, it was this thought, and the certainty of success that it brought them, that kept them going when the power went down or the food ran out.

But this incident had taught them otherwise. Or it would have, if any had lived. The four thousand soldiers outside of the air base however, in the city a valley over, were very much alive, and were ready. They had their guns and missiles prepped, and could take on any thing that came their way. Or so they hoped.

~

TL;DR

See India's post above - Juneau Air Base is all but destroyed, effectively stopping government intervention in northern Neigeland apart from the soldiers already there. Forces in Juneau City itself remain confident.

[The Austro-Hungarian Realm (Ancient)]

Vienna, Austria-Hungary
Schönbrunn Palace: 20:30 hrs

White, oily hair clumsily hangs over an old, worried face. Half-closed eyes, set seductively within their sockets, watch longingly over the gardens of the palace behind spotless glasses. A white and elegantly groomed moustache makes him continuously rub his nose due to runaway hairs that irritate the insides of his nostrils.

He's wearing a simple shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the elegant tie he's wearing. On top of the shirt he's wearing a white shirt, made of the finest materials from Budapest. The jacket was clearly made for him, it's a perfect fit. It has an elegant windowpane pattern which radiates confidence. The 5 buttons of his double breasted jacket are all buttoned up, it's the only right way to wear it. The jacket is the same length all around, it has vents at either side, there are two pockets on either side and there's a breast pocket which has been left empty.

He's wearing trousers which have the same colour as the jacket, but a slightly different pattern and they create a perfect balance with his shoes. He's wearing a lavish pair of spectator oxfords. To top it all off he's wearing an elegant belt, which can be accompanied by a watch and handkerchief in his breast pocket, embroidered with his monogram.

Emperor-King Otto is a quiet man who does not like conflict; he has had to fight off both the Nazis and Communists and dreads hearing of conflict around the world. There's something odd about him, perhaps it's a feeling of anguish over all those who died in his fathers' and grandfathers' name in the first war or perhaps it's simply his fortunate past. But nonetheless, people tend to flock towards him, while jealousy consumes them.

As he stands behind his mahogany desk, a quiet knock at the door gets his attention.

"Komm herein", he calls in a weak but firm voice.

A tall, thin man opens the heavy wooden door and enters the sovereign's office. His very long sleeved, cloth jacket covers him to just above his groin and is tightly tied with a leather and silk belt, non-functioning but ceremonial, attached to which is a sword. The sleeves of his jacket are quite narrow and reach down, perfectly to his wrist, they're decorated with a a thread lining at the sleeve ends. The jacket has a deep, round neckline which reveals part of the modest shirt worn below it and is worn with a thick cloth band, which is held together by a decorative pin. The cloth band is partially decorative, but mostly a purposeful addition.

His trousers are simple and quite narrow and reach down to his leather shoes. The shoes are made from a fairly uncommon leather, but are otherwise a common type.

"Your Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty," he begins, "I have received news from your ambassador in the Republic of Neigeland."

The Emperor turns and, slowly and purposefully, sits at his desk, moving a document to the corner of his desk and placing his pen on top to stop it from being moved by a small gust of wind that may come through the open window in the far corner of the room.

"I fear that you bring me bad news, Herr Iacobescu. Do tell me I am wrong."

The tall man, Iacobescu, stands rigid. "I am afraid not, Sire," he takes a short breath, "Your ambassador in the Republic of Neigeland has informed your common government that the war has not yet reached a conclusion and has warned that there may need to be a repatriation of all Austro-Hungarian citizens within its borders along with your ambassadorial staff."

The Emperor-King reaches for his handkerchief and wipes his forehead, "I did fear, Herr Iacobescu, that it would lead to this."

The Emperor stands and walks over to the window behind him. "When I was born, this country was at war. My grandfather and father had been plunged into a situation that they were not best comfortable in. My grandfather was an old man and my father a shy one. My grandfather died two years into the war and my father died four years after its conclusion," the Emperor turned to face him, "I know what war can do to people and I had my fair share during the last war. I wish you to convey a message to the Chairman of the Ministerial Council; I want you to tell him that we must end this war and we must do it peacefully for I will not allow my country to be plunged into conflict in my lifetime or after my death."

His servant bowed, "I understand, Sire. I shall convey this message at once." Iacobescu backed away slowly, his head bowed down in respect. He turned the door handle and exited the room."

(OOC: I am not involving my military so I have not included any of its stats. This is not going to be a post to get Austria-Hungary involved in the conflict but just to show the nations' stance)

[The National State of Mexico]

Following actions taken by the state of India, the National State of Mexico has activated it's reserves and put itself in a state of DEFCON 2. An extra eight divisions of infantry (80k men) and a large amount of mechanized equipment have been sent to Texas and the Southwest and are expected to cross into the Southern Niegeland in case of war. Large amounts of aircraft have been sent to airfields in Northern Texas. This reaction was unplanned, but intervention by the state of India to create a strong communist state in the Americas is a threat to the NSM and all neighboring nations.

*A commander walks to a room. The time is 8:30 pm, several hours after the raid in Juneau. The 20 men in the room are sitting playing board games and watching the news when the commander steps in.*

"Good evening. I hope you all are enjoying your time.". The commander spoke with a booming voice.

"Today, six F-15C's took off and bombing the heck out of government troops in Juneau, destroying all targets. No aircraft was lost but we have a very angry government leader to deal with and the General Staff Office has gave me this folder containing our first mission in the Neigelandic Civil War.

"We are to head over to Fraser in two days time. You will be given a task to kidnap a Neigelandic arms dealer. He will be questioned on board this ship my me and several other interrogators. An AH-64 helicopter will take you to your location near Colombia. When you are done, call the helicopter and we'll send it right away.

"This mission consists of 20 men. Each of you will be heavily armed with Kalashnikovs and other high power assault weapons. You will take off form this ship at 2 am, less than 6 hours from now, and will be dropped at your location by 2:30 am. You will have 48 hours to find your target and capture them.

"If you are really in deep trouble, call us and our jets will take care of them."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*He then gives each man papers on how their targets are and how he or she might look like. Some people don't have a picture since Indian Intelligence hasn't gotten a photo of the target. The men agreed to take this mission.

At 2 am, a AH-64 attack helicopter took the 20 men into the sky. They now that they are flying deep into enemy territory but the helicopter is armed with hell seeking missiles, bombs, machine guns, and rockets. The helicopter is flying at the speed of 150 mph.

[Yurizlansia]

The DMM Anh Dung was on its way to Neigeland, departing from Port Hon Gay, on the Eastern coast of Vietnam. Already soldiers, sailors and officers were beginning the preparations to link up with the Neigeland Army near the Three Cities region. The soldiers had been training for the past few days, but most had not experienced any combat besides the occasional violent crime and firing squad. Luckily, the speed of the ship would allow the ship to reach the region quickly and when they did, they would fight against the revolutionary forces.

April 1995

REPAN Forces have taken full control of Boise, the first major city under rebel control. Meanwhile, jets of the Indian Air Force launched attacks in the northern city of Juneau, destroying the government air force base their and effectively limiting the ability of the Republic to prevent REPAN gains in Northern Neigeland. As a result, rebel controlled territory has expanded rapidly in the north. Below is the updated conflict map for April 1995, with territory controlled by the Revolutionary People's Army of Neigeland (REPAN) shown in Red, and that controlled by the Republic of Neigeland (Government Forces) in blue. Major cities are represented as squares.

Republic of Neigeland
FRASER, REPUBLIC TERRITORY

As the day turned to night, the control room at the air base in Fraser went silent. There was no immediate threat; the rebel forces were occupied over 1,000 kilometers away in the far east and north, and certainly weren't posing any risk to the Three Cities. A lone controller of the Neigelandic Armed Forces sat in the radar room, drinking his freshly brewed cup of boiling hot coffee. He despised the drink, it was bitter, and the hot steam which permeated from the mug always steamed up his glasses. However, at around 2:57 am, his peace and quiet was interrupted, quite abruptly.

Sirens and alarms sounded from the speakers at one of the radar screens, signalling an unidentified aircraft. He swung his chair around to face the monitor, and in doing so dropped his glasses and spilled his coffee all over himself. He wasn't nicknamed "no control Connor" for nothing. Having retrieved his glasses, he looked at the radar screen, and a blip on the screen, in an area of airspace which was not ordinarily used by government forces. The aircraft, whatever it was, was flying low and fast, presumably trying to avoid radar detection.

In a hurry, Connor swung around and reached out for the red phone that called directly to central command. Then he remembered that the man at central command was terrifying, and instead reached for the white phone next to it, which linked with the nearest Air Force base in Rainier. Almost yelling, he told them of the unidentified aircraft, put the phone down, and returned to drinking the coffee and staring at the radar screen, ready to report any other threat that may arise.

Republic of Neigeland
AIR FORCE BASE, RAINIER

The call pushed the Air Force base into action stations. The Armed Forces, and Neigelandic government as a whole, had been expecting foreign intervention for weeks, but such a bold move was not what they were expecting. A wing of two F-14 Tomcats was scrambled to look for the unidentified aircraft, and shoot it down if necessary. It was twelve minutes since the initial report made by Connor by the time that the jets, relics from a bygone era, roared down the runway at the air force base. Whether they would find the unidentified aircraft was the main question; among the dark streets, skies, and buildings of the region, such an aircraft could be easily lost.

[The Italian Realm]

The Civil War in Neigeland had no end in sight. Blood on both sides watered the fields of the nation, and innocent lives were annihilated in the quest for power. In Italy, an uproar of anger echoed throughout the Kingdom. 530 - 0, was the vote count on whether or not to intervene in Neigeland. With thousands of Neigelandic-Italians part of the relentless genocides, it was the country's duty to ensure the Fascist Government came to an end. Prime Minister Romana spoke to the nation on a televised message. As he described it, "The atrocities and the heinous crimes committed by the Neigelandic Government will not go unpunished. The Italian Kingdom will stand firm to protect human rights, no matter where they are violated. Through the assent of Her Royal Majesty, Maria Pia the First, Queen of Italy and Empress of the Mediterranean and Her African Dominions, Italy hereby declares war on Neigeland."

Expected to arrive in 16 hours, the first dispatch of help including 12 Panavia Tornado aircrafts will be deployed to Boise, Neigeland where they will meet with REPAN forces to coordinate airstrikes against Regime Controlled areas. Along with that, 8,000 Army Personnel armed with Beretta ARX 160's, will be deployed to Boise accompanied by 3 Carriers, carrying a fleet of C1-Areite Tanks. While under the supreme command of the Italian Defence Ministry, all personnel and vehicles will coordinate their efforts with REPAN forces.

[Impero di Argentina]

Argentine Emperor Daniel I was taking a vacation in Mideneo fa Illuminacio (Ushuaia city). The weather was great: about 26 degrees celsius, birds chirping, and happy people sunbathing on the famous beaches. He was drinking a cup of black tea enjoying the view of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful mountains from a terrace of a restaurant "Esfir." Suddenly his iPhone rang so he picked it up.
Intelligence director: "Hello there! It's me, how have you been?"
Emperor: I am great, taking a vacation and enjoying the sunny beach. Anything new?"
Intelligence Director: "well, I was watching the news and there is a conflict going on up north."
Emperor: "Oh yeah, I have heard some parts of it. What do you suggest ?"
Intelligence D: "I say offer them some help. This way, we can spread our influence up north."
It was when the emperor decided to write a letter:

TO: Official Government of Niegeland
From: Emperor Daniel I

"Sir, we have heard about the conflict which is taking place in you state. While we are not disclosing our position on the matter, we would like to offer our humanitarian help. Please inform us of your decision."

[The National State of Mexico]

OOC: I have recieved permission from India. Mexican Spec-Ops units are to infiltrate Niegelandic territory and "flush out" rebel and supporter forces. Unmarked fighter aircraft are to patrol non-AA covered airspace and hunt rebel and supporter aircraft.

They will all cross from the Texan border, except the fighters that will turn by unclaimed territory in the Northern US.

Massive air war ordered

(OCC: I am doing an operation similar to Desert Storm. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fegFGllS3w8

All four aircraft carriers are now busy. Planes are being launched or landed every few minutes and this has made everyone onboard tired. Supply ships have been seen loading supplies in the North Pacific Ocean where the Indian fleet is based.

It is now Thursday, two days after the successful raid on Juneau. A fleet of 50 F-15C and A10 Warthogs are took off from the four aircraft carriers and on their way to conduct bombing missions all over the country. A special plane called the EF 111F Raven penetrates enemy airspace. Its job is to jam enemy radar and allow the task force to do their job properly.

The Raven is now flying at 5,000 ft and it is around 6:00 PM. There are two of them flying next to each other. Behind them are the 50 jets on their way to bomb Fraser, Colombia, Seattle, Vancover, and any missile sites in the Pacific Northwest.

Operation Boise

At around the same time, 40 long range parachute bombers took off at around 8:00 PM and are headed to Boise. They are following the path that was created by the Ravens. These planes are carrying tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft batteries, and Indian troops. The number of troops being dropped into Boise will number up to 12,000 over the course of three days.

Special Forces

The helicopter that brought the 20 man team was shot down after engaging in a battle with two Neigelandic F-14 Tomcats. The men haven't learnt about this yet but they continue on. They proceed to head to the villa that the arms dealer lived and waited to ambush it in the morning.
