Crisis in Kernan!

Gods Army storms Uwatsuke! Proclaims Republic of Kernan!

Hello everyone this is Klaus Neushoder from KNN with some shocking news to report to you today. As you know the militant Christian group God's Army has been terrorizing the Norse minority in Wolf's Insel for decades. Under the Vassilov administration they were allowed to, Richard repeatedly stating he did not want to antagonize the religious majority within WI. Well you also probably know our High Priest has recently actively pursued Gods Army, sending troops into WI to hunt down the group. Will it appears Vassilovs warnings were right as Gods Army, with popular support took Uwatsuke, capital of Wolf's Insel, and proclaimed a Republic across the entire Island. The High Priest has pledged to crush the rebellion and bring Wolf's Insel back into the fold calling the Republic: A unholy alliance of heathens, scoundrels and terrorists.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Dividing Sea, in the Kernain Republic, Provisional President Sarkov Dotchevski has called for a Crusade against the "Heathens to the West". He has extended an invitation to all Christian nations to aid him in crushing the Norsemen across the Sea. We managed to gain an interview with Sarkov earlier today. We asked him what he aims to accomplish, this was his chilling answer: "Our one and only goal is to see the destruction of the Norse faith within the nation and to put it back on the right track for redemption." The dissolution of the ancient Union between the two Islands raises a military concern as well as Wolf's Insel has 12 nuclear missiles stored North of Amazonenpass. Thankfully a loyal brigade of Imperial troops has secured the sites, but the question is for how long?

President Dotchevski,

On behalf of the President of the Theocracy of Baptistan, I would like to commend you on your stand in defense of the Christian faith. The President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Theocracy of Baptistan stand behind you in your quest for independence. We believe the possession of strategic nuclear weapons, near Amazonenpass, by a hostile power posses a serious threat to the security of the Kernain Republic. We would like to offer our help in securing these weapons. With your permission I would like to forward deploy the Baptistan 101st Airborne Division and the 83rd Armored Division to the region just outside Amazonenpass. If you would provide us with the location of the appropriate airfield we would also like to begin airlifting 100 pallets of arms, ammunition, food and supplies for use by your nations military. Please consider these supplies to a small gift cementing what we hope to be a lasting alliance and friendship between our two nations. Again, on behalf of the President of Baptistan, I would like to offer our nations help in your nations quest for peace.

I thank you sincerely for your aid and accept your generous offers of aid. We will wire you the coordinates to the requested airfields within the half hour. We also will accept your offer of military assistance and will use them in the coming attempt to seize the nuclear silo's. I also would request that you reach out to your Christian allies for aid as the Imperial Army is large and strong, we cannot win with what you have given us, but it surely will help. I wish that, by God as our witness, we will march into Riechshauptstadf and depose the heretics!

The men of the Baptistan 101st Airborne Division stand at attention as a jeep pulls up. Out of the jeep steps General Mansfield, the commander of the Baptistan Expeditionary Force (BEF). General Mansfield is a large man, over six feet tall. He is also the third generation Mansfield to serve in Baptistan's military. The general and his aids approach the front of the division, "Men, I know you all are wondering what we are doing here. Less than 24 hours ago we were all back home and many of you were on leave. Now we are in a foreign nation that most of us have never heard us. Our mission here is to aid our Christian brothers in the defense of their homeland and with the help of God almighty we will see victory!" The men started cheering and the General yelled for all of them to shut up. Then the Chaplin came forward and gave a long winded invocation. The men were dismissed and they went back to setting up their camp.

As General Mansfield and his entourage headed back for their jeep one of the aid spoke up. "General do you think we really have a chance of capturing those silos?" The General sighed, "Not really, they are heavily guarded and the bureaucrats back home wouldn't fully commit to this operation like I asked them to. That's why we only have two divisions instead of the ten I asked for."

As the men got into their jeep another jeep pulled up with the Kernain Republic flag.

Outside Doa
General Karl Yauvoich stepped out of his jeep to greet the foreigner but had to look up to see him face to face. The man had at least three inches on him, and twice the muscle. He walked up and looked around, watching Mansfield's men set up camp with amazing efficiency "Sure as hell better than mine" he thought as he approached the man. He stuck out his hand "Hello General...*consulting piece of paper he was given* Mansfield is it? I am General Karl Yauvoich, but you can call me Karl. I am Field Marshal of Republic of Kernan, here to give you a formal greeting

[Baptistan]

Outside Doa

General Mansfield reaches out and shakes the field marshal's hand "Good to meet you Karl, Joseph Mansfield, Commander, Baptistan Expeditionary Force. You can call me Joseph. These men are my aids. We were about to drive back to our HQ for teleconference with Admiral Fitzwallace and our Joint Chiefs of Staff. You are welcome to come with us." General Mansfield yelled at two corpsmen unloading crates out of the back of truck. "Quit throwing those crates of ammo around like they your dirty laundry and give the Field Marshal here an escort to HQ!" The general turned to the field marshal and said "Our HQ if just a mile down the road, those men in the truck will give you an escort and we'll follow behind you in our jeep."

Karl smiled "See you there." he said as he walked back to the Jeep.

Uwatsuke, 2 hours later

The convoy drove down the cobblestone main street of the city. There were workers moving rubble and beginning the rebuilding process. It was not long before they arrived at the former Provincial Capital in the center of the city; until recently when the Rebellion turned it into a HQ. They walked into the building and made there way to the room down the hall that split off to the left. Inside was a large table with a Map of kernan sprawled on the center along with holographic soldiers where Imperial and Rebel armies were. In front of each chair was a small computer screen allowing for the person to control soldiers on either side of the War. Karl motioned to some of the chairs "Come and sit, we shall run some simulations."

General Mansfield and his aids sit down at the chairs pointed to by their hosts. General Mansfield then told one of his aids to set up the secure channel with Baptistan joint chiefs of staff back in the situation room of the Baptistan Capitol Building. Lieutenant Christ Cahill pulls a laptop out of his satchel and sets up a video conference call with the Baptistan Joint Chiefs of Staff. The laptop is placed on the edge of the table facing everyone. General Mansfield proceeds to introduce everyone. "Admiral Fitzwallace this is General Karl Yauvoich, Field Marshal for the Kernan Republic. General Yauvoich this is Admiral Percy Fitzwallace, Chairman of the Baptistan Joint Chiefs of Staff." Admiral Fitzwallace speaks into his microphone "its good to finally meet you Field Marshal. I appologize for not being there in person but an emergency situtation has occured in Germany and Prussia and our President has asked me to moniter it for him. Our President sends his regards and he has authorized me to send an addition 150 pallets of supplies beginning tommorrow. Additionaly several churches and the Baptistan Red Cross have raised funds to send 100 pallets of food and medicine to be distributed to your civilian population."

After a few minutes of exchaning pleasantries the conversation died down and General Mansfield turned to Karl and said "Are you ready to begin the simulation?"

Hexenberg, Hexen Meer

23:40 Local Time

It is a quiet night in the sleepy settlement of Hexenberg on an island is Hexen Meer. To the residents of Hexenberg the rebellion on Wolf's Insel seems to be a million miles away even though it is much closer. A nightwatchman is patroling the streets of the settlement looking forward to midnight when his shift will end and he will be able to go to bed. He hears a faint noise coming from the east. He stands for a moment peering into the darkness with his flashlight. Slowly the noise grows to a dull roar. Suddenly he looks up and he sees what he thinks are fast moving clouds. Then he sees several dark objects falling above him. It is almost to late before he realizes they are being attacked and he yells "AIR RAID!!!"

Several tons of ordnance are droped on the town. From the cockpit of the R5 Strategic Stealth bombers flying above the crew can see the impact of the bombs creating huge crators and setting fire to the buildings. The pilot of the lead bomber whispers "God forgive us" as he looks below. He then says "Thats it boys, our job is done." With that he turns his plane and the squadron returns to their home base.

The town of Hexenberg is engulfed in flames. The townspeople are trying desperately to put out the fires. A young man runs into the town square and starts yelling at whoever will listen to him "Soldiers are coming! Soldiers are coming!" The people think they the army has come to help put out the fires. To their horror they instead see squads of rebel and Baptistan troops pouring in. The soldiers brandish their weapons and order everyone into the town square. Rebel medics begin to treat the wounded townspeople. A man in an officers uniform is directing the soldier where to go when a private brings him a radio. The officer grabs the radio and says "Come in commander, come in commander, this is Major Burns, the town is secure. I repeat the town is secure. We now have the island!"

[Sudenlands]

A Christian convoy is moving in between a small farmland, the officer orders a halt for the moment so they can refuel. He tells his xo that he's pretty sure this area was secured earlier, the xo agrees and notices a lot of vegetation on the farms. He hears what sounds like a bee then feels a warm substance on his cheek, as he looks over the co is slumped over and half his head is gone. To the horror of the xo all the vegetation is rising and now war cries and gunfire make a soundtrack for the evening.

R.U.A. commissars guided there troopers up to the convoy, many of the Christians were wiped out quick, RUA losses were minor. At the end of the ambush the prisoners legs were broken and they were left with the convoy, all weapons were confiscated and radios destroyed. The R.U.A. soldiers vanished into the night.

A young captain nervously paces down the hall in HQ. He then steps in the doorway of the communications room and asks "Any word on the convoy yet?" A man sitting at a table full of radios looks up and says "No not yet." The captain puts his hands on his head and sighs in frustration, saying "they should have been here hours ago. It only takes two hours to get here from Doa. Try radioing them again." The radio operator then says "it's no use. We've tried radioing them a dozen times on every frequency. Every time its the same, no answer." The captain looks down the hall saying "General Mansfield will be here any moment and he's expecting that convoy to be here. He's going to have my head!"

Just then another man, a lieutenant, pushes past the captain and barges into the communications room and says "Is General Mansfield here yet?" The radio operator says "No he's not, what happened, did you forget to pack your underwear?" The lieutenant stares at the radio operator blankly and then says "No you idiot! We received intelligence that the Democratic Republic of Sudenlands has deployed troops to the missle silos near Amazonenpass. We need to get a message to the base at Doa." All three men stare at each other for a minute then the captain and the radio operator simultaneously yell "THE CONVOY!"

[Sudenlands]

20,000 troops have arrived in the region, they immediately begin training the norsemen in guerilla tactics and assault tactics. Also, pamphlets about communism are distributed in bulk as well as a thousand ak47s. At a Baptistan outpost, a tank squad begins an assault. Norse civilians are trained in the tactics of the Vietcong, being farmers by day, and guerillas by night.

WARNING: NORTH EASTERN SEA IS NOW UNSAFE AND CONSIDERED IN ENEMY HANDS

THE REAR ADMIRAL IS PREPARING TO CONDUCT COMBAT OFF THE COAST OF VULTORIA ALL COMMUNES NEAR THE NORTH EAST COAST OF VULTORIA ARE TO PREPARE FOR SHELLING FROM THE ENEMY. THE ARMY RESERVE IS MOVING TO THE COAST AS WE SPEAK TO PREPARE LONG RANGE ARTILLERY AND ANTI-AIR, THE WILL ALSO FORM A BEACHHEAD. THE NAVY IS IN ROUTE TO THE NORTH EAST SEA REMAIN CALM. ALL SPORTING EVENTS ARE CANCELLED.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"INCOMING!" shouted an R.U.A. medic as he attempted to save the life of a young 16 year old soldier who had been hit by the first round of shelling. The horrible sound of falling artillery cut off his yelling and interrupted his efforts to save the life. It was chaos, soldiers ran to their fox holes from all different directions, the medic could barley see the ships on the horizon, but he knew they were there. One apc was hit directly and exploded killing multiple soldiers. The medic dragged the wounded soldier to a foxhole and continued his work as the shelling continued.

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

The Revolution Fleet reached the north east sea, two aircraft carriers launched fighters and cruisers began opening fire on the Beautifian Navy. The Rear Admiral had planned for an attack on his beloved islands, what the Beautifians didn't know was submarine group Red was moving around their right flank, preparing for an attack, any minute now, their fleet would be surrounded.

[Beautifia Islands]

30 September 2014

The royal captain looked out at the beach as shells kept falling, he was in a boat with his company, he looked at their faces and felt sympathy, some of them may not even make it off the boat, some might, he might not make it off the boat. Some boats had made it too the beach, he could hear the machine guns blasting at them, screams grew louder as the boat got closer to the beach. One boat exploded and collided with them, nearly tipping theirs over. "20 SECONDS!" yelled the driver. Two soldiers puked, the captain assured them he'd meet them at the top of the beach. The ramp dropped, he rushed out and fell to the ground and began crawling over the goo and mush that used to be some man's brains. An artillery round fell directly on his boat, and killed most of his squad, the captain froze in fear.

[Sudenlands]

At the top of the beach, the R.U.A. was well dug in, but the General running the beach defense was sweating, not all the troops that were ordered here have arrived yet. Luckily a tank brigade had made it and was firing on the incoming invaders. In the distance he thought he saw flashes on the sea, the naval battle must have begun, hopefully the rear admiral plan would work. As he and his aid began moving across the beach, his aid took a round to the chest. The General pointed at a medic then pointed at his aid and kept moving. All of a sudden, the civilain militia arrived, only carrying farm tools and hunting rifles, without any warning they let out war cries and started running onto the beach, the General didn't even know the numbers of them, but was sure they were going to be cut down. It would at least buy him some time until the others arrived and began holding off the invaders so the navy could do it's job.

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

On the naval front, the Rear Admiral was feeling calm, they have routed some of the fleet and the submarines, as planned, started attacking the routing ships, sinking and disabling them. He wondered if the Royal Army troops on the beach were aware of the situation on the sea.

[Sudenlands]

Meanwhile in Kernan, the soldiers aiding the Norsemen were hearing the news of the attack on the homeland, out of rage, they took some of the Norsemen with them on a raid to a christian outpost, they weren't even sure which christian nation it was, but they began a brutal raid on it, many prisoners were taken, but the recklessness got 100 R.U.A. troops killed, a note was left on the outpost, offering a prisoner exchange.

September 30
Northeastern Vultoria, Sudenlands
The captain thought of his wife, and the wives and mothers of all those who perished on his boat as he crawled up the beach, starting to lose control and breathing too fast. War cries interupted his thoughts, it was like a swarm of angry wasps, farmers without guns, as if they picked up whatever they found and ran at the royal soldiers. Most were butchered by bullets but the ones that weren't looked as if they were demons just swinging for the home run at the heads of royal soldiers. A nearby radioman had tears in his eyes as he heard something over the radio, after he told his officer, the officer surrendered. All those around him began surrendering, as well as the captain.

September 30
Caprice City, Beautifia Main Island
Princess Alexandra paced as she waited for news of her husband arriving in Kernan with a garrison of 20,000 troops. Finally an officer rushed into her room, "Your majesty, we just received word, your husband arrived in Kernan and is settling in. "Why thank you, you are dismissed." she told him. He saluted and left. But soon after the officer returned, looking as if he had seen someone who should be dead, "Your majesty, you are summoned to the council chambers, it would seem there is a crisis in the Vultorian Campaign." he told her. She rushed as fast as she could to the council chamber, her mother sat at the head of the table, it was the first time she saw her mother look frightened, the Prince's head hung low, and Lord General was demanding to be sent to the front immediately. "5,000 men made it to the beach, we think whoever was left alive surrendered." said the Queen. "All those lives lost." said the Prince. "This is an outrage, if I had been where I was supposed to be this would not of happened!" yelled the Lord General. "Quiet." said the queen. "I am ordering you to Kernan, attacking Sudenlands directly was a mistake, and now their going to come for us, you can count on that." said the Queen. The Princess didn't have much military knowledge but it was good to appear at the council for the military. "We will deploy 20,000 more troops to the Kernan, Lord General you will travel there with these men, and you will decide what brigades you will need and what not." ordered the Queen. Lord General saluted and left the room.

[Sudenlands]

The ministers met and it was declared, an invasion of the Beautifian Islands had to be planned. This act was not to go unpunished, as for the POWs they would be well treated, as long as R.U.A. pows were treated well.

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

On the beach head, the pows were transported further inland, the General on the beach took off his hat and saluted the dead as they were placed in body bags on the beach. He found himself saluting later that night, as 1,100 Sudenland flags draped over the caskets, a tear ran down his eyes. The Leader spoke about the impending doom of the Beautifian Monarchy, and the General was honored that his name was called to be along side the Rear Admiral to plan this wrath.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Kernan, troops were now conducting hit and run raids on convoys and checkpoints.
