The Second Rebellion [IC/CLOSED - DM ONLY]

[United States of Conner]

As the doors swung open to the Moreno State Assembly, twenty five men marched in. Quickly shooting the security guards, they calmly walked through the building, opening fire on anyone they encountered. Who were these men? They were members of the United States of Conner Royal Morality Society. This was a group, run by men who supposedly run by descendants of King Jak III, the last monarch of the USC. They were committed to reinstalling a monarch, and they had chosen today to strike. In the past three weeks, almost twelve million fighters had entered the country legally, or had "activated". Opening fire on any policemen or soldier they saw, they had struck the country when its guard was down. It was Revolution Day, a major holiday in the USC. All troops were given the day off, the government had closed, and it was all around a day of rest. Not today.

Walking into the mostly-empty chamber of the Assembly, they shot any Assemblymen they saw, before hijacking the camera. As the camera came onto live TV, the lead man, in a black balaclava, spoke.

Subjects of the United Kingdom,
Your time is over. As you have ruled through your beloved democracy, our proud nation has become a cesspit of immorality, unworthiness, and mob rule. You think you can lead? You are not suitable to lead. Your disrespect of the institution of marriage, your murder of unborn children, all have led our proud nation into the ground. Enough is enough. Our Most Holy Emperor, Jak the Third, was killed by your damn rebellion. Now its our turn.

As I speak, military bases have been raided, warriors armed, and government stations taken over. This is happening in every State Assembly, in Congress, these institutions that allow the commoner to rule. Cities are now under our control. This is the start of a new era. You shall learn your place again. Our Glorious Holy Emperor, Jak the Fourth - an honorary title, he is more like the great great grandson of Jak. He shall show you how you shall live, and make our nation great again.

I ask any nation of pure heart and noble blood, such as Derita or Rhine-East Berlin, to support our cause. We shall have honor and glory in our lands once more.

FOR THE CROWN!

As the man was speaking, fighters of the RMS were taking over cities all over the USC. Tanks rolled down main streets, escorted by helicopters and fighters. Police officers and public servants were shot, however, some of them began to return fire.

Conner City
United States of Conner
President Conner Boehm, accompanied by almost every other top FEDGOV official, had just walked onstage to applause. Taking the mic, Boehm said, "Hello, hello, all. Today, I'm going to be here to - you bet - talk about the recent vomit that came out of the mouth of a man named Bossen. Yes, you have all heard it. Now, where do I begin? Let's start with the obvious. Did we kidnap the Polish princesses? Yes, because when you kidnap someone, you bring them into a warzone and then send Spec Ops at them *laughter* No, instead, we tried to get them back from the Prussians, and while they knew we were coming, the operators destroyed the Nubian, an advanced Prussian one of a kind warship, while they were at it. Kidnapped Queen Christina? When? What? I think its justifiable to hold leaders in a secure place after a drone destroys the conference center, yes? Anyways, what else... Ah, you think we've killed people? Criminals, maybe. Can you look inwards, can you monarchs see the political prisoners, the rebels, the protesters you have killed? Give me a break. Lets see... I'll face my crimes, my nonexistent crimes that apparently violated nonexistent international law ... Okay ... Bla bla bla rhetoric bla bla bla ... Ah, yes, your Enigma strategy. After last night, I am hereby declaring that any further strikes against USC property, especially Enigma property, will be considered an act of war. Tread lightly. Okay ... Vile dictatorship, because dictators are elected every four years, got it ... Revolution, blessing, cool."

As he finished up, a pair of suited men came onstage and spoke to him. Boehm nodded, and said to the crowd, "Well, I've got to go." The cabinet had just barely reached the edge of the stage when it exploded. The men and women went flying. Almost instantly, four ambulances pulled up, and the bodies of the USC leaders were put inside. Sirens blaring, they rushed away.

Four hours later, in front of a crowd, and a televised operation, the head of the USC began to flatline. First, Secretary of Commerce. Next, Secretary of Scientific Advancement. People who had been in the blast, been shot, stabbed, rammed in their car. The President was the last to flatline. The beeping slowed, until an audible beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep was heard. The crowd watching erupted into tears as the head surgeon leaned over his body and said, "I'm sorry." The bodies were wheeled out, and in the chaos, nobody noticed that the RMS had taken over most of the USC. USC Operators fought back, but it was a losing battle. The USC needed leadership, and fast.
OOC:
Some rulz:
Use the RMB as your OOC. There should be no OOC chat on here. Yes, I realize this is OOC. Shut up.
Be civil, por favor.
No 'I n00kz you all', please. Support for and arming the rebels is allowed. Military operations are not. Ask me before doing anything like that.
Standard NS rules apply.
This should be a mainly diplomatic and reaction-based RP.
I am your Lord, the OP. Thou must respect my word, for it is law.
Whatever I do is what happens. End of story.
Have fun.

[Rhine-East Berlin]

In Potsdam Chancellor Bossen wasted no time. With President Conner finally dead it was room for a monarch in their nation. King Jak IV would have to do, and Chancellor Bossen would make sure that he was able to take the throne. his only fear was that he would be cruel, while Kaiser Edward IV supported most monarchs, he did not support cruel ones, like that of Tsarina Alara. He would have to make sure that Jak IV was loved not only by his own people, but by the international community.

Chancellor Bossen spoke on the issue on Potsdam.

With the death of dictator President Conner, we hope that the justified and rightful leaders of the nation can rise up. King Jak IV is the true ruler of the kingdom and we hoped that peace, morality and obedience of law, friendship, words foreign to the late President will enter under Jak IV's hopefully joyous reign. Rhine-East Berlin shall provide support and aid to the nation to make sure further death is avoided. Food, water, clothes and defensive tools will be airdropped to them to provifde for civilians to make sure the kingdom does not fall onto hard times. May the future be bright for the new King and his nation and his people.

[United States of Conner]

As King Jak IV saw the speech, he made his own, private message.

"Honored Chancellor,
It is my pleasure to receive your supplies. While we have already taken most former military bases, however, Lord knows we will need all the help we can get in stopping the Commoners. They believe that I am not the ruler of the nation. I hope we can become good friends, with the best of relations between our two nations.
Warm regards,
His Imperial Royal Holy Majesty,
King Jak IV

Aurora Military Base
Outside of Hyperion, United Kingdom
As RMS forces moved in on a large military base outside of Hyperion, USC loyalists had finally been made aware of the RMS war. As the two sides engaged in bloody fighting, both sides using whatever weapons they could find, the battle did not progress much. Eventually, with both sides weary and bloodied, they retreated, to lick their wounds and come back another day.
Loyalist casualties: 1,473
RMS casualties: 1,439.

[North Timeria]

With the recent attacks in the USC the North Timerian Air force was put on high alert. The air froce srambled planes like there would be no tomorow and the navy moved into position. Aircraft carriers from around North Timeria headed into the Northern Pacific and the airforce scrambled jets to patrol the Pacific, also deplyoing some near Argentina.

In the Presidents situation room he assembled his general and advisors. "Men we have a huge problem there has been word of a revolution within the USC." Air marshall Hugo was the first to speak out. "Sir we have confirmed reports that REB is trying to set up an airlift for civialians" The President looked in shock "The fucking monarchs! We can't trust them, they may be trying to supply arms to the rebels and we both know we can't let that happen... I want you to intercept all Monarch planes headed for the USC... tell them they have to be checked by North Timerian forces or turn around. If they don't... Shoot the bastards down!" the air marshall agreed and sent the orders out. With Admiral Taka's carriers on call the President throught of a bold ideal. "Admiral... what are your thoughts on conducting drone strikes and maybe a no-fly zone in the USC?" Admiral Taka looked shocked... what the President truly bold enough to do such a move? "
Well sir... that would certainly be bold but im not sure if it would make a good difrence or a bad one." President Hastad nodded. "Get the carriers into position for teir 2 drone operations... don't strart until i give you the go ahead."

---

In Irav North Timerian MKM fighters along with a few tankers were deployed to patrol a portion the the atlatic and intercept Monarch aircraft.

[Rhine-East Berlin]

Swarms of Prussian Supply planes flew north from NeuMexico City and Prussian Venza to Conner City, flying within their own air space as to avoid the evil Timerian air blockade. A total of around 53 large supply planes few over the city dropping down boxes filled with food, such as dehydrated cans of soup, bread, fruits, coco powder, as well as water, juices and other needed things like blankets, pillows and shoes for the RMS commanders, the basics. Hidden within the boxes of supplies were the parts of the defensive tools that Chancellor Bossen had spoken about in his speech in Potsdam. Ammuntion clips were within the hidden boxes.

Along the Neumexico-USC border trucks moved in to transport the actual weapons to the RMS, missile launchers, machine guns and pistols. Meanwhile surface to air missiles stood on stand by to support the planes in case of an attack.

[North Timeria]

The President sat down in his office on the phone with his mother when Secretary of State Thanapat Thaothawong walked in. He quickly said goodbye and greeted his friend. Secretary Thaothawong didn't waste anytime "Mr. President we have confirmed REB dropped supplies into the US... No word on if weapons were included." the President slammed his fist on the desk and cursed. "Call the department and tell them launch Operation High Tide." the Secretary left and did what he was told.

---

Operation High Tide
The B-16n bombers were launched from the carriers very quickly. The 2 units were armed with anti-radiation missiles and anti-runway penetration bombs. There objective was to destroy enemy airbases and to deter the enemies air defense network. The navy would shift its power closer to central america so that they could enforce a no-fly zone.

After the first 2 squads were launch 2 more followed. These units carried mostly cluster bombs and guided penetration rounds. There objective was to destroy enemy air and long range missile strength.

Leaving from North Timeria were 3 carrier strike groups headed toward the Caribbean. Their objective would be to intercept aircraft over the gulf and if needed shot them down. They couldn't risk anyone arming the rebels.

[United States of Conner]

May 29th, 2041
As both sides at Aurora Military Base retreated, exhausted, another battle was beginning to take place. In Juarez, just inside Mexico, the few thousand loyalists were overrun by the tens of thousands of RMS forces, confident with their victories in State Assemblies. The loyalists retreated outside the city limits, while several were seen firing machine guns at the waves of RMS fighters before they went down. It had become abundantly clear that the RMS was trying to take Mexico as their first target.

However, in Mexico's capital, Ciudad de Puebla as it was known to the locals, or Greenlight to everyone else, thousands of loyalist teams flooded in. They didn't expect to stop the RMS forces, far from it. What they were doing, was pulling out everything of value. SCP objects, top-secret weapons, the like, were loaded onto ships just before the RMS forces descended upon the city. Some loyalists stayed behind, mostly to arm civilians. Nobody fought against the RMS, not yet. But as rifles were stashed in basements, and explosives hidden in attics, it was only a matter of time...
Casualties in Juarez:
Loyalists: 5,938
RMS: 3,312
Casualties in Greenlight:
Loyalists: 93
RMS: 163

Conner City
United Kingdom
"General Allen, Sir?"
General Robert Allen shook his head as he said, "Come in." He had been reading about the latest loss to the RMS in Mexico. It seemed to be a losing battle. Hell, the entire USC brought to its knees. It no longer even had a head. He looked up at the aide who had just come in and asked, "What is it, son?" The aide glanced at a small piece of paper and read, "General Robert Allen, until such time as Protocol Epsilon-Delta-November-7 can be completed, you have been placed in charge of the United States of Conner Armed Forces and Federal Government. You have, as of now, been declared President. You have authority to install a new Cabinet at this time. Due to the circumstances of the moment, you have been given emergency powers, effective immediately.
Signed,
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States of Conner Armed Forces."

The aide had left Allen in peace almost ten minutes ago, and it had taken him almost that long to come to term with the reality of the situation. However, Allen was nothing if not decisive, and not long after, he had already started typing out orders to the military, telling them to pull out of Mexico entirely. They had been whipped, and they needed to lick their wounds.
Allen still didn't know what Protocol EDN7 was, and he didn't care. Right now, he needed to focus all his energy on beating the RMS.

---

With almost no complaints, the USC Armed Forces began to pull out of Mexico. While Special Forces Operators still ambushed trucks filled with Prussian weapons, and assassins did what little they could, they began to focus on everything else. Outside of the mainland, everything was fine. What little RMS forces attempted to fight were put down almost instantly by a military filled with rage. RMS leaders were arrested, State Assemblies liberated, and weapons seized. Even within the mainland, there was some good news. The states of Euclid and Mapleport had been liberated. However, the RMS, armed by the Prussians and swelled by foreign fighters, kept a stranglehold on the southern mainland and Mexico.

---

As King Jak IV, sitting in his palace in southern Mexico, heard of the news, he was furious. He ordered the border reinforced, and met with his top generals to prepare a plan - an invasion plan. However, first, he made yet another address, this time to the good, royal nations of the world.

My dear friends, monarchs of Derita, Espana, Rhine-East Berlin, Russlande, Polonge, and all amongst you,
I come to you in a time of need. The 'United States of Conner', the infernal nation, has managed to fight back. I suppose the commoners don't want to lose their illegitimate power, yes? Our great cause currently controls Mexico, as well as part of the Southern Mainland, as the commoners call it. I ask all of you today, to put aside your differences, and assist me as I attempt to put these people under a government that knows morality, decency, and who belongs in government.
Let the weapons flow. Let royal fleets fill all of our harbors. Let the USC know their time is come. Let the forces of immorality, the heathen, be brought back under a flag in which they are where they belong. IF you wish for the USC to fall, it is your choice.
Warmest Regards,
His Holy Imperial Majesty,
King Jak IV

[North Timeria]

The President was furious, he threw things around in his office and broke an entire bookshelf. After hearing that the USC has pulled out of Mexico he was determined not to be surrounded by any more insane monarchs. He sent a message to the official USC

To: The Federal Capitalist Republic of United States of Conner
From: The Republic of North Timeria

We have heard of your retreat and are willing to help. We currently are enforcing a no-fly zone over parts of central America and we would like to conduct drone strikes in Mexico. I hope you understand that this is a threat to us as much as it is to you. We can't have nuclear weapons fall into irresponsible hands, especially this close to North Timeria. We would like to assist you if you have any plans to counter attack. Please respond ASAP

With that message the President gave new orders to Olympian teams Crimson, Majestic, and Noble. They were ordered off the coast of Mexico. They would be sent with a special forces naval row and put on standby until further notice. The President also ordered all North Timerian flee USC; including the embassy staff.

---

As the bombers entered REB airspace they used stealth to evade radar and get into firing position. The first wave located airbase, inducing major non-military airfields. They released their weapons simultaneously, the bombs were specially designed to wreck runways and make them useless. The second squad also targeted military aircraft with cluster bombs.

[Rhine-East Berlin]

With attacks in Neumexico Chancellor Bössen was quickly alerted to the recent development and took it with surprise. This could cause war! It was night time in Potsdam while it was day in Central America, and so Kaiser Edward IV had to be woken up as well.

The Timerians were using sleuth with had briefly allowed them to enter the Prussian airspace undetected, but as soon as they began firing they began to pin point the bombers and quickly identified them as North Timerian bombers and anti aircraft fired up at the bombers, the Prussian-Mexican Army was quickly mobilized, it had already been going through Pre-Mobilization Movements and Tasks, as well as the Fleet in the Caribbean Sea sent of fighter jets to attack the bombers before anymore airports were destroyed.

In Beliza City the Edward-Edward Airport was hit with bombs as the North Timerian attacked civilian airports. Several planes exploded and innocent people were killed in the inferno. News reporters rushed to the scene like moths to a flame to capture the scene of the burning airports. Firefighters and police officers attempted to help, but were unable to do to the likely hood of continued bombing. Screams of woman, men and even children could be heard as the main structure of the concrete building imploded, trapping those inside.

[Servinta]

Duurkoop Peoples Airforce Base, Autordsima islands, Servinta
0600 EET - May 29th, 2041

Despite the misty morning darkness around the islands, Flight Levtenant Reir could still identify his Tsybin RSR 'Contrail' reconnaissance plane among the others already being prepped on the tarmac.Weather it was the slight discoloration of the landing lights that made them light blue and pinkish red rather than the normal colors or the well painted scantily clad lady that adorned his planes nose, he couldn't tell.But whatever it was that made him march over to the black shape in the darkness of the early morning was correct, as he heard the guttural yelling of his rather obtuse ground crew cheif.Senior Aeroman Humgarth was as usual, panicking from stress as he yelled insults and commands alike at his apathetic crew of four, sending them running about with a 'its too early for this' look on their faces.

Reir wasn't the type to yell at his subordinates, but he knew 'Humpty' as the crews named Humgarth, was a course but good leader and his crew the best.He gave the crew a wink as he climbed up the rollway steps and snuggled himself into the cockpit, silently the smiled and continued about their work, somewhat happier with their labors.

He looked down at the instrument panel, checking to make sure all the systems were functioning.He knew they were, or else the crew would be scrambling in panic instead of a steady pace of business as usual.All buttons glowed green or orange to indicate the photographic systems from the jets standard systems, a color coding so simple a monkey could understand.

With the flight checks done and his crews scuttling away to their hanger, he locked down the canopy and set the locks.Now with his bird sealed he taxied down the runway and readied himself for the official go ahead.

"Contrail five, you are clear to launch!" The sound was like a trigger on a gun, and Reir was the gun.

He threw the throttle back and was almost immediately thrown back into his seat, the plane sped down the runway at high speed until the power of aerodynamics took hold and he could feel the sensation of flight.

From here he was off, to spy on the situation in the Americas between the Monarchist forces and the Democratic armies of the USC.He knew the Servintan goverment was already not liking the Monarchist, in fact he knew they hated the idea of another monarchy sprouting like a weed in the overgrown wilderness of the world.But he was not to be the man to start the fighting, for now he was to obseve and report the Monarchist concentrations and supply routes for his goverment to better formulate a plan of action from the chaotic situation.

Today, he would take lots of pictures ...

[Kingdom of Derita]

May 30th, 2041

In the beautiful city of Port Victoria, the crowning jewel of the monarchist world, if not the world, news of the continuing monarchistic revolution going on in the USC reached the pampered nobles and royals of Port Victoria. Port Victoria was home to only 750,000 people, but 220,000 of those were important and unimportant nobles that used the rich city to gain power, wealth and to have fun. They were very interested to hear of the death of the dictator President Conner, in completely unrelated news Queen Adela had held a party celebrating.... something. The developing news quickly spread around the city, but Deritains were not known for quick action of support of outsiders.

The most important officials, Emperor Christopher II and King Louis-Philippe I of Navarre and King Etienne of RUP, were all against action until the conflict advanced more. They all held their own reasons, the Roi Emperor's wife was against the idea of getting involve in the revolution, Christopher II himself dislike conflict. The King of Navarre and his own lover, Queen Mother Veronica of Espana did not want to support the same thing that Kaiser Edward IV supported. And King Etienne was a timid man. On the opposite part of the spectrum was Empress Saint Alanna, Empress of Polonge and Saint of the Holy Church, who wanted to have a way to have both sides be friendly. The Roi Emperor's sister had gained influence through her simple and humble ways. She wanted to speak with both President-in-exile Allen and King Jak IV, seperately.

The Empress Saint sent a message to both the King and the President to meet with them on different dates. This was very important, who ever Empress Saint Alanna would have the support of all Derita and the Volonte Dynasty.

[United States of Conner]

April 13, 2041
RMS Troops on the trail
After waging almost a dozen smaller battles against the Loyalist armed forces, RMS troops had finally gotten off what had been named 'Fury Road'. A stretch of uninhabited land, it was the sight of some of the most fierce fighting ever known to man. RMS and Loyalists poured lead at each other from just a few yards away. However, as was usually the case, the Loyalists were outnumbered ten to one. They were forced back or were killed as the RMS overran them. Battle after battle, the Loyalists had to make a choice. They detonated SCP Foundation and NS2 sites, placed mines, and steadily retreated backwards. Eventually, they had stopped the RMS outside of Conner City, at the end of Fury Road. However, with more RMS forces arriving at the barrier, and the Loyalists still devastated by Boehm's death and untrusting of Robert Allen, it was only a matter of time before the Capital fell.

In both Conner City and Greenlight, both King Jak IV and President Allen saw the invitation for them to talk. While Allen curtly declined, citing the enormous stuff he was dealing with, Jak accepted, and told the Deritians to video-call him at the first opportunity.

[Cocomo]

40,000 Mercenaries were secretly pained by Chairman Gunnrai to for King Jak IV, Cocomo was both famous and infamous for their Mercenary Armies for proving to be effective but somewhat destructive of the enemy. The Mercenary leader was Commander Fezora, who perfectly matched the stereotype of the harsh mercenary army, destroying a force of 21,000 rebels in Waitu five years ago. Fezora messages King Jak IV for permission to fight on his behalf.

[North Timeria]

After the first bomber wave a second one moved in from the west. Armed with JDAMs and cluster munition they would deliver the final blow.

This mission wouldn't be as simple as the first, REB wouldn't be caught by surprise. Flying high and fast the bombers released their weapons at stand off range. The weapons wouldn't be as accurate but still enough to eliminate a target. These munitions were restricted military instillations except one. One lone bomb targeted a radar instillation at Edward-Edward Airport. It was only a 500 pounder but it would get the job done easily.

---

The first wave had took a few hits later in the mission but the majority of the bombers made it to the NTS Queen Malaysia. The one pilot was lost while coming in for a landing.

---

In the Pacific off the coast of Mexico Olympian special forces were preparing to deploy. The transports were already inflated and ready to deploy. The briefing was short and to the point. Their mission was to eliminate King Jak IV and any other HVTs.

His name had come up on the list and now it was their job to eliminate him. They would find him no matter what cave gee hid in. The navy had been approved to use drones over mexico to search and if needed eliminate King Jak IV. It was still USC territory but if it fell into the wrong hands it would cause even more trouble.

[Independent State AF]

In some dark secret bunker deep within Usea, the orders for the twin supersubs Hrimfaxi and Scinfaxi were delivered. After brief consultations with high ranking command staff for confirmation the subs set sail under the cover of darkness. Loaded with many of their specially designed Burst Missiles. The effects of which were often compared to molten metal raining down. Not only that but their air wings consisting largely of late model F-35s and the occasional ADF-01 Falken. While the subs moved in, their destination thirty miles of the coast of Greenlight, the Arkbird soared ahead from orbit monitoring and watching the battles below. Relaying all images to the Raven Rock command bunker in ISAF. Everything was being brought to bear for the upcoming including the long considered decommissioned laser facility "Excalibur" which had served primarily as a missile defense facility until its potential for Anti-Air precision strikes became apparent. It's focusing satellites moved into position giving it clear view over Mexico. Even though it had been fundamentally replaced by the Arkbird, it had one advantage over the White Bird; its on facility generators enabling it to fire a theoretical limitless number of times, requiring only a short few recharge minutes between each.
In anycase the chess pieces were moving into place, and soon the noose would be tightened.

[Rhine-East Berlin]

With the Second Rebellion in the United States of Conner deemed as a failure waiting to happen, Prussian Government aid has ceased to King Jak IV. Kaiser Edward IV feels that the only way of winning the Second Rebellion would to send in military forces and Chancellor Bossen has supported this, but Queen Christina and scores of Visors and officials are against this. Instead the Prussian-Mexican Army repaired damaged areas and prepared missiles in case North Timeria choose to get anymore aggressive.

[The International Red Brigade]

The fighting in The Americas had been receiving increased attention form the European powers in the recent weeks, making it a welcome distraction from the problematic east where Russlande was causing chaos in Korea.Though the war in Manchuria was important, many viewed the USC rebellion as a more pressing issue as it could have meant the creation of a whole new goverment and possible the extinguishment of an old one that had already established global ties.It was for these reasons that several shadowy figures and agencies had called upon the aid of a well known revolutionary group who were to counter the forces being sent by some other powers for their own interest.

The International Red Brigade was already engaging in several smaller revolutions and terror campaigns around the world, but their main combat force was being sent to assist the democratic forces of the USC and to add their own style of fighting to the war.These Brigadiers were not limited in action as a normal army were, instead they were bound only by the guidelines of their cell commanders and the general rules of war.This gave them flexibility where others had been steadfast, and this would prove to be an advantage when countering the enemy forces who fought under King Jak's banner.

The forty thousand strong militant army carried by multiple cargo ships and freighters that frequented the gulf coast in recent weeks named Task Force Hawk was secretly offloading into the areas of Coatzacoalcos that had been scouted out beforehand by a combination of spies and aerial photography that had been donated to the International Red Brigade by a number of sources.In this port town and surrounding suberb in south Mexico, the militants in civilian clothing lugged their weapons hidden among luggage into abandoned warehouses that had been found to have basements and were now being utilized as armories and rally points for the IRB.

No vehicles had been brought out yet, as they were still hidden among the large shipping containers that had been offloaded from the IRB's freighter transports.But soon they would be brought out, as the commander of the force was planning a major counter to the mercenary forces who had entered the war.

Terminal Refrigerada Pajaritos, the shipping complex for the city had already been infiltrated by the Red Brigade in the chaos of the war and had been the site of several murders of those workers who were loyal to King Jak.This secured the secrecy and kept those who had any loyalties to Jak out of the Brigades business.

[United States of Conner]

June 7th, 2041
Conner City
It seemed to be the worst time for the Brigaders to arrive. As they were snuck into the city, the rest of the country was crumbling. The RMS had taken back land it had lost, and then some. All that remained of the loyalists were Conner City. Everything else, except for a few pockets of land in the far north and on the ISAF border. In fact, as the brigades were escorted in through the back of the city, the lines in front of the city, weary from weeks of RMS fire, began to fall. Men and women ran back or were killed. Soldiers planted land mines outside the city, and RMS troops were seen flying as they stepped on them.

Sitting in his quarters, President Allen ordered the general evacuation protocol of the city. After, he picked up his intercom, and said, "Frank, come in here, please." The door opened, quietly, and a massive man walked in. In his hands was one of the largest shotguns Allen had ever seen. The man spoke quietly, "You needed me, Mr. President?" Allen nodded. "Yes. I'm about to broadcast my location to those RMS assholes. Now, when they burst in here, here's what I need you to do..."

In Greenlight, King Jak IV nodded as he was told of the Loyalist line falling. He smiled as he thought, "And the commoners shall be under great rule once more. I shall return this decadent nation to its former glory." After that, he quickly typed up an address.

Esteemed monarchs of the world,
My time is here. As I write this address in Greenlight, Mexico, the Loyalist lines in Conner City are falling. I predict that once the evil President Allen is captured, the Loyalists will only last another few weeks. Soon, it will be your time. Your time to make a choice. Will you support me, and have the power of the USC, under a monarch, at your side? Or will you refuse, and lose out on this opportunity? I did enjoy talking to you all, and I know 'President' Allen refused you. Thus, why not support me?
I await your replies,
His Holy Imperial Majesty,
King Jak IV

[North Timeria]

With the loyalist trapped in Conner city the President knew he had to do something. He didn't want to start a war before his term ended but he had no choice but to help the USC further. A few weeks ago Admiral Newton had drawn up a plan to attack Mexico and take some of the pressure off Loyalist in the North...never did President Håstad think it would get this bad. He made the call to Admiral Newton "Admiral Newton it's time. Launch Operation Hidalgo" Admiral agreed and the plan was set. Military forces in the forever region, pacific, and the gulf were already on standby waiting for the green light.

When the mission came they all were ready and the invasion would start by nightfall. First the carriers would launch a huge air campaign to weaken enemy forces and slow their response time.

---

The Olympians landed on a deserted beach not far from their target. As they landed the vehicles were quickly unloaded and put to use. The convoy included 2 crab vehicles and 1 mule UGV. Inside each crab were 6 Olympians armed enough to get the mission done but they didn't want to cause too much attention. All of their weapons were equipped with suppressors and no one carried explosives on them. All of the heavy equipment would be on the mule.

They drove off the road to a villa near the beach. It belonged to a General loyal to King Jak IV. They had to capture him alive and get information out of him quickly. They came to a stop just outside around the back of the compound where the vehicles were out of site. The Villa sat on a small hill over looking the semi-arid landscape. From the crab they launched a small drone to recon over the area.

Looking over they could see guard positions and through a small window they spotted the general sitting in his living room talking to a female. Cpt.Mizuki laughed "Well I guess it's time to shut down his party." They all unloaded and quickly made their way up the hill, Using what little cover they had. Using his HUD he planned out a breach and a take down. Their were 2 guards circling the pool area and 1 in the bell tower, 4 more in the front, and at least 3 inside.

Sending the orders to his team they lined up to breach the wall. It would cause attention but it was the fastest way; a clean shot on all the guards in the back and a straight shot to the living room.

They placed charges and then breached. The explosion was loud but they were quick. 3 Olympians moved in taking out the 3 guards within seconds. The rest pushed into the living room breaking the glass door and large windows. They caught the general before he had the time to escape, just then 2 guards ran in from the living room and were quickly gunned down. The girl looked young maybe 10 or 12, she ran up the stairs being pursued by 4 more Olympians. The other 3 went to the front and cleared the rest with ease. As the other squad perused the girl they came under fire when they reached the stairs. Ssg.Lynx was hit but his armor didn't allow the bullet to penetrate. 2 more guards were shoot before they captured the girl.

With the Villa clear they set up to interrogate him. Cpt.Mizuki was a father also and he knew how to make him crack "General...I'm going to ask you this once maybe twice... As you can see we're running on a tight time schedule. Tell me where's Jak and I'll have you and your daughter brought to Timeria... You'll have to go to court but I'll put in a good word for you." The general was quite and wouldn't say a word. Cpt.Mizuki looked back at his team "Bring the-" he was cut off the General "His in Greenlight, Mexico...If you kill me just allow my daughter to live." Cpt. Diego responded "General I keep my promises...Squad 2 get them back to the evac zone... Squad 1 come with me." He made a call back to base"I need you to get me in contact with someone...Jake Kocour his a special forces operator for the USC. Tell him to contact me ASAP and meet me with a team in Greenlight, Mexico."

Squad 2 departed to the evac zone.

[Independent State AF]

After a day or so of travel the Hrimfaxi and Scinfaxi made it to the Gulf of Mexico, ten miles off the coast the pair surfaced. The captains of both subs synchronized their operations together and began what had come to be called Operation: Razgriz, the title itself was named after an ancient legend in Usea.
The missile silos on both massive subs opened and each launched many of their unique burst missiles. The missiles raced to their destinations, the front lines of the RMS forces. The missiles were designed to be similar to MIRVs in that the main missile was merely a housing for several other warheads of various types. The missiles detonated over the RMS front, the first salvo's warhead detonated in mid-air to eliminate any aircraft that may have been present, while the second and third salvos released the warheads which detonated only about fifty feet or so from the ground to eliminate advancing columns of infantry and armor.
To further disrupt the enemy several missiles which contained high-explosive warheads were launched directly at Mexico City which was deemed to be acceptable collateral damage.

Once the missiles detonated, that was the Arkbird and Excalibur's symbol to begin the laser attack, both weapons of war targeted remaining enemy formations that were advancing on Connor city, though these assaults were mostly for intimidation, as the lasers though formidable could only target one or two enemies per burst.
Once this system of strikes was completed, the subs re-submerged to survey the damage through the use of the Arkbird's cameras. Once they had those images it would be determined if precision strikes with aircraft were necessary.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the strikes, it was likely that any allied forces still present in Mexico City would have also fell prey to the missiles.

June 7th, 2041
Conner City
It seemed to be the worst time for the Brigaders to arrive. As they were snuck into the city, the rest of the country was crumbling. The RMS had taken back land it had lost, and then some. All that remained of the loyalists were Conner City. Everything else, except for a few pockets of land in the far north and on the ISAF border. In fact, as the brigades were escorted in through the back of the city, the lines in front of the city, weary from weeks of RMS fire, began to fall. Men and women ran back or were killed. Soldiers planted land mines outside the city, and RMS troops were seen flying as they stepped on them.

Sitting in his quarters, President Allen ordered the general evacuation protocol of the city. After, he picked up his intercom, and said, "Frank, come in here, please." The door opened, quietly, and a massive man walked in. In his hands was one of the largest shotguns Allen had ever seen. The man spoke quietly, "You needed me, Mr. President?" Allen nodded. "Yes. I'm about to broadcast my location to those RMS assholes. Now, when they burst in here, here's what I need you to do..."

In Greenlight, King Jak IV nodded as he was told of the Loyalist line falling. He smiled as he thought, "And the commoners shall be under great rule once more. I shall return this decadent nation to its former glory." After that, he quickly typed up an address.

Esteemed monarchs of the world,
My time is here. As I write this address in Greenlight, Mexico, the Loyalist lines in Conner City are falling. I predict that once the evil President Allen is captured, the Loyalists will only last another few weeks. Soon, it will be your time. Your time to make a choice. Will you support me, and have the power of the USC, under a monarch, at your side? Or will you refuse, and lose out on this opportunity? I did enjoy talking to you all, and I know 'President' Allen refused you. Thus, why not support me?
I await your replies,
His Holy Imperial Majesty,
King Jak IV

Seeing King Jak IV's continuing struggle for his throne, Kaiser Edward had a slight change in heart. He could not support the King, not as Head of State, but he could help them in a indirect way. In Neumexico hired mercenaries smuggled in weapons and supplies into the RMS controlled areas in secret. As thousands of guns and ammunition and food stuffs went north to support King Jak, Kaiser Edward IV turned a blind eye. He was after all so busy dealing with the Manchurian War, it was possible for him to make sure all criminals were caught at the same time.

Chancellor Bössen followed a similar but more aggressive policy, sending billions of dollars to the Banking Clan, then to the Deritain owned Holland Banks in a blank name account to King Jak IV to fund him. That way he couldn't be trances as the Holland Banks do not tell private information. About 7 billion dollars would be sent every day.

But most helpful of all Prussians was a criminal himself. The mysterious and secretive, yet manipulative and influential Count Geheimnis. He could not send in a army, not a Prussian Army at least. Instead he spoke with his contacts within the Banking Clan, Councilman Kalpana and was able to convince, or in other words, bride him to send a Mercenary Army at the disposal of King Jak should he want it. But it was not just the force Chairman Gunnrai had offered, but a force of 450,000 skilled professional fights. It was a costly sum, but the Count of Sereno wanted King Jak IV to rule that nation. And as someone outside of the government, he could do almost anything he wanted.

Most anyone could tell that many of the weapons being used by the RMS forces where either one of two things, either they were the standard weapons of the United states of Conner military that had been captured during the initial days of the conflict or they where the weapons brought up through central america by various smugglers under the employ of Neumexico's neighboring power Rhine-East Berlin.These weapons gave the RMS forces almost equal footing with the goverment forces of the USC and if they continued to flood the southern territory's under Jak's control then they would likely tip the balance.

Commander Marcos saw had known some of the supply routes already due to overflights by several nations reconnaissance aircraft, and using this information he planned on plugging the holes that seeped weapons and arms to the RMS forces.

Militant Two Thirty Seven, or Anthony to his fellow militants was one of the first Brigade militants to leave the now subverted city of Coatzacoalcos.The port city itself was technically still pledged its loyalty to King Jak, but the reality on the ground was different from the map.The city had suffered a number of accidents in the recent days as the International Red Brigade began to emerge from its hiding places in the port warehouses and shipping vessels themselves, the mayor drowning, the chief of police dying of accidental discharged his pistol while he cleaned it, and several other officials who had supported King Jak suffered unrelated but mysteriously close deaths.The few officials who had been known to hold grudges aginst the new regime where encouraged to take on the responsibility of the now deceased, giving the Brigade a secret base to spread fourth and cut the lines of supply.

Anthony was currently far from the comforts of the city, as he had been sent with a hundred man ambush patrol to Iglesia Católica Romana in Parque Natural Ecoturistico Tziscao.The area was a hotbed of smugglers who where using the less public border area as a route to smuggle their arms into the hands of RMS rebels.

He and the rest of the men where hiding in the tree line just three hundred yards north of Limite de Mexico con Guatemala, the border between the two countries.There they laid under the underbrush and shade of the trees with AK-74 rifles and RPG-7's pointed to the checkpoint where a convoy of smugglers was moving their trucks through the border with smiling RMS guards guiding them through.They waited until the convoy had moved up to the intersection just north of the checkpoint before launching the attack.

The RPG militants focused their fire on the first truck, doing their best to disable it and close the road which had thick trees on either side of it which where crawling with their fellow Brigadiers who fired on the border guards and the smugglers who had been caught by surprise.Then the rockets started flying toward the rear in an attempt to seal the convoy in, a standard ambush tactic.The fighting was heavy but the focus wasn't to kill the enemy, it was to stop and destroy the weapons shipments, something the RPG troops excelled at as they rained grenades upon the trucks.

The same thing happened in other border areas frequented by the smugglers like Frontera Corozal and random shooting of cargo trucks and other vehicles suspected of being smuggler driven all along the 307 road that straddled the border.Though their attack were to hit hard they were to remain anonymous as to avoid any counter actions by the RMS or the many mercenary forces that they had hired.But the attack would continue and with each shipment lost, the RMS was weakened just a bit.

Night time was approaching and the Marines were ready. There invasion wouldn't start until later tonight but time was going fast. Time usually drags while stationed on a ship... but not today, time was on crack today.

They did simple task like clean rifles, check gear, and prep vehicles. This were the early stages for the Marines but the Navy pilots went to work. On board the carriers fighters were launching constantly and other aircraft. On the decks of the amphibious assault carriers were VTOLs and attack choppers.

---

The air assault would cripple enemy forces and pave the way for the Marines. Also they would target REB supply convoys and depots. Their main objective over all was too cause enough attention to draw them away from Conner forces.

Drone operations were also approved and they would mark targets for heavier bombardment. The destroyers off the coast would provide support 24/7. Armed with cruise missiles and long range guns they could devastate an enemy position.

The smugglers were shocked at the sudden attack and panicked, the only thing keeping them from retreating was the fear of what would happen once they returned. Their employee, Count of Sereno as they knew him, would have them killed on the spot. Instead they dialed a number that he had given him as the convoy split up and shattered as they lost three trucks. A quick airstrike from planes identified as Rhinelandain Air Force Jets scattered the attackers.

But even this event was not enough to stop the smugglers, consumed by their greed, they continues to deliver, protected by weapons and the Count of Sereno's air strikes from stolen Rhinelandain jets.

As the sun fell the sky lit up with light. Bombers and strike fighters targeted positions all across Mexico, trying to decimate enemy forces. They used guided munitions and were limited to using 250 lb bombs in urban areas. They would try and avoid civilian causalities, only aiming to take out rebels. Along with them were fighter patrolling the airspace ensure that no other nation would interfere in Mexico. Naval drones loitered around lasing targets for naval bombardment.

Just off the coast transports were headed to shore with Marines on board. The looked out and watched the show. The explosions were the only source of light, apart from the few on the transports. As they hit the beaches they moved to secure a perimeter and organize the troops. There were a few small firefights but noting major. Loading onto transports and forming columns the marines headed towards their targets.
