D-Day 02:00, Reichsburg Time
The armies were on the movie. The war pronouncements were made – but still there were issues to contend with. And one of these issues was Artitsa. Already, Cabal satellites were scouting out the general area, taking orbital images of naval bases and civilian harbors. In preparations for the ASAT attacks that would no doubt come in the next few hours, information was also piped in from the Lyran sattelite network.
In Psychotic Psychos, CSS cargo ships were already unloading supplies – thousands of [url=LBM-62[/url] anti-ship missiles from the Confederate stockpiles. Though Allanean troops proper could not yet be present on this front, Allanea would do her best to render aid to the Psychotic Psychosns.
Here, too, as in other states, the President of Allanea made a brief address to the troops, encouraging them in the difficult task that was now ahead of them. But the most important virtue that was required in this war would be – so far – not bravery, but simple patience. The enemy was separated from the rest of the world by 30,000 kilometers of ocean, and it would take a month until allied vessels would begin to make their mark on the enemy.
They were many, the vessels of the Shogunate – thousands of escorts, dozens upon dozens of aircraft carriers, and even a handful of Superdreadnaughts. Their mission was double – to tie up the Artitsan navy primarily, and, and, as a secondary goal, to strike against Artitsan infrastructure and military basis.
This would be a minor front – compared to the full-scale bloodletting that would soon commence in the South. But still, thousands of ships were now going to sea. Thousands of men were soon going to die. It was beginning.
OOC: This is closed to Artitsa, Psychotic Psychos, and some character/media/very limited involvement from myself.
