Zammora, Lesser of two Evils, Uprising in Zammora (MT, OPEN)

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

To the Zammoran High Council
From Vice Admiral the Archduke Charles Alexander of Austria, SMS Laudon
Regarding Naval Support

In response to the latest briefing I have deployed the fleet against the southern part of the island and are commencing limited naval and missile bombardment. I have also messaged our Admiralty for more heavy vessels, and my ships are patrolling the southern shorelines. The weather have allowed us to deploy four modern guided destroyers of the Tatra class (SMS Tatra, SMS Balaton, SMS Csepel, SMS Lika) to our fleet.

Sincerely
Vice Admiral the Archduke Charles of the SMS Laudon

[The New Lowlands]

To: The Zammorian Council
From: The New Lowlands Government
Regarding: Assault locations.
New Lowland forces are approaching Zammorian waters, but our intel on the Zammorian Redemptionists is rather outdated.

As the enemy is unlikely to be expecting assault from our forces, we would like to receive a recommendation from Zammora, or perhaps one of the involved states, to allow Lowlandian forces to enter with a surprise attack
.
Please note that Lowlandian forces are intending to come to a "Fighting Start" and will therefore prefer to attack a coastal area to maximize the effectiveness of naval units.

In addition, the Lowlandian Government has authorized the armament of any fit and willing liberated personnel under Redemptionist control, to be incorporated into the Zammorian Council's forces.

Naturally, we will ensure that any individuals armed comply with Council operational discipline.

SIncerely,
The Minister of State,
Hendrik Anderszoon.
The New Lowlands.

[OOC: TL;DR: We're moving in, we need a target. Any coastal strike locations?
Also, Zammora, we'll be giving your liberated supporters guns.]

[Vetega]

The fleet was assembled en route to Zammora. The closest port was over 2 hours away from their current location. The new fleet was on high alert and they were prepared for anything. The superdreadnaught's readied their smaller, less powerful, railguns while the carriers launched fighters for air cover as they made their way to port.
<<Zammorian Council, this if High Admiral Hakudoshi Ancaano on board the flagship Heziovirel of the Stargazer Task Force. We are currently en route to Nraxl Navy Port. We will arrive in less than two hours with supplies and troops. I am formally requesting targets to send out air forces against. Also, if you have any areas that are in need of bombardment, our ships are fully capable of that as well.>>

The Admiral sipped on his hot coffee as a YF-23 AND 4 FB-22's roared past the bridge after being lauched from the carrier right behind his ship.
"Sir, the board is green. Air screen complete. No enemy forces in sight. Time to target 1 hour 45 minutes and 37 seconds."
"Very good. Continue your work." he said as he stood at a terminal. The glass screens showed all the information given by the Zammorian Council.
The Emperor would have come himself had he not been fighting the largest naval battle in Federation history against the Arcadian Empire. So he was sent instead. And did not want to be here. But he had a mission. The protection of civilians and forces loyal to the Council.

[The New Lowlands]

Admiraal Janssen peered through the set of binoculars at the distant Zamorrian coastline. As far as they could see, this particular stretch of coast was undefended: But it pays to be prepared, and terrible weather conditions prevented scout drones and satellites from being effective.

Rain poured down on the flight deck of the N.M.S. Superieur. Several jet planes stood, ready to take off, along with helicopters on the side of the flight deck. Temporary launch silos for missile had been set up on the battleships, and the AA emplacements were ready to fill the sky with flak and missile fire.

2194 infantry units, including sailors, stood under the Admiral's command.
Hardly an impressive figure to most nations, but those 2194 were made up of some of the the toughest, the most willing, the best-equipped soldiers in the world for their lack of numbers.

Janssen was disappointed with the Governments lack of willingness to put more spine into the fight: this was going to be a hard, uphill campaign.

But the time for complaining was later.

Janssen pulled the radio's speaker close to his face.
"This is Admiral Janssen, high fleet command, NMS Superieur." he said in Lowlandian. "Within the next forty-eight hours, we will initiate Operation: Blue Eagle Rising."
"I expect every single one of you to do your very best, and nothing less."
"The future of a democratic Zamorra, and the reputation of the New Lowlandian Army."

"So, let's do what we came here to do."

"Let's kick some Redemptionist ass."

The ship's engine flared up. Cheers emanated from the flight deck, barely heard through the rain.

The missiles started powering up, the Adelaar's engines sparking.

Today was a good day to fight.

Today was a good day to win.

[Vetega]

After offloading about 100,000 troops and the general to the port city for duty assignment, the admiral took his fleet and headed down the coastline. The transport ships stayed at the harbor so that he would not have to worry about protecting them in battle.
"Sir! Radar has picked up an unknown fleet of ships bearing 441 mark 3. Receiving no IFF signal."
"Prepare for battle! Carriers towards the back of the group. All superdreadnaughts are to go first. Have the rest of the fleet follow behind us but they must protect the carriers." he ordered.
<<Unidentified ships, this is the superdreadnaught VFIN Heziovirel. Identify yourself immediately.>>
The ships tore through the waves as they got closer to the unknown ships near a surprisingly unguarded section of coastline. The fighter screen began to scout ahead.
"All main batteries online. Missile systems online. Railguns online. The board is green."
"Alright people lets get this done.We have more ships than they do. If they make any hostile action against us then they are the enemy." he said as he typed away furiously on his PDA.

[Premislyd]

After unloading troops in North-Eastern Zammora, the 106th Guards were prepared to fight. Although they were not used to the Zammoran weather, they were quick learners and began to modify their equipment and machinery.
"Praporshchik!" yelled Polkovnik General Alec Benedin
"Da eer!" he replied while saluting
"Relay this message to Polkovnik Chuikov, He is to move the 137th to Sector 018, overlooking the river." Benedin ordered
"Da eer!" the Praporshchik responded while running to find the nearest Communication Operator.
The Premislydan Expeditionary Force base was hectic, troops were unloading, vehicles most notably T-72B Main Battle Tanks and BTR-80 Armoured Personnel Carriers were being modified for the Zammoran weather, 3 Mi-17 helicopters were being prepared for reconnaissance, and a squadron of Mi-24 Gunships were being readied to strafe Redemption forces in the area.
We should be home within a week Benedin thought to himself The Redemptionists are no match for the elite 106th
"Eer, the 51st Regiment is ready to move out" said a young Lieutenant
"Alright, move to Sector 032, tell the men to dig trenches overlooking the plains" Benedin ordered
"Da eer!" He replied while saluting
By now the engineers have began constructing a runway and hangers for the 501st and 96th Air-Fleets and a squadron of AC-130H "Spectre" Gunships that have been mobilized and should arrive any hour. The communications post was finally set up and the following message was sent to the High Council

To: High Council
The glorious 106th Guards Airborne Division has arrived. Your forces are more then welcome to stay at the PEF base. We are prepared to engage the enemy when needed.
~Polkovnik General Alec Benedin
Commanding Officer
106th Guards Airborne Division

OOC: A little bit to much posts to one at a time. So i'll give everyone a update right now.

"We have just received communications with our Southern defense lines. We thought this might be Weatehr interferance however Recon suggested that the Redemptionists have broken trough. Though their exact numbers are unknown intel suggest they are moving towards the cities South-West of Zammora to begin their "Cleansing". We believe they've send over 2,000,000 Armed Militiamen and 300,000 Highly-Trained Vanguards. Currently we suggest all naval forces attack the Srxa Commercial Port and the Srxa Naval port at the southern coast of Zammora. We believe however that the Redemptionists have most of their fleet stationed there. Over 30 Frigrates 25 Heavy Frigrates an unknown number but speculated to be over 40 "Wolverine" Submarines and 2 Aircraft Carriers loaded with "Titan" Torpedo Bombers."

[Zammora]

"All Tank Divisions are advised to remain alert. We have reports of Redemptionists tank hunters in the area. We suggest all Armoured collums and infantry regiments move towards the Southern Defense line to begin a coutner attack along side Council Forces. Currently we are reinforcing the South-Western Cities in expectation of Redemptionists Attacks"

Colonels von Morgenfeld, von Potiorek, von Maros-Szentkiraly, Air Force Colonel Brigadier von Königfels, Generalmajor von Kesseldorf and Feldmarschalleutnant Ott are pouring over a recently acquired map of Zammora.
"Oberst von Morgenfeld. You will take Hoch- und Deutschmeister along the coast-line down this line of advance. The Kaiserjägers will be in support, together with the Guards Grenadiers. Regiments "Kaiser", "Maria Theresia" and "Freiherr von Laudon" will advance and deploy along this line. The remainder will be held in reserve. Everyone's got that. Good. According to latest intel the enemy have breached our allies' defensive positions and are advancing towards the cities in the south. Our Field Howitzer Regiments are under transfer from Europe, they will arrive within a few days. Until then we're relying on whatever air support we have, despite the damnable weather. Oberstbrigadier Nadaska von Königfels?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, our squadrons will do whatever that is required."

"Very well, proceed with caution, and expect heavy resistance on the front. Dismissed."

Saluting, the officers left for their respective units.

OOC: I would like a small Geography lesson on Zammora, for orientation purposes.

[Gernonai]

The Gernonaise Field General in Zammora was deeply worried about the continued assault of the Redemptionists.
"Sir", says Colonel Fahkn
"Yes?"
"We've verified reports that the Redemptionists have broken through."
"Dammit, how long until the storm clears?"
"About 12 hours"
"Ok, tell all front line forces to pull back to rally point alpha, and assume defensive positions, send ammunition, and get the artillery zeroed in."
"Yes, sir!"
"We need to launch the joint-air assault as soon as the storm clears."
"Of course, sir."
"Limmen?" says the General
"Yes sir?"
"Wire a telegram to the Senate, tell them to put the Strike Force on high alert, and that we need reinforcements ASAP."
"Yes, sir"

To: Zammoran High Council and it's Allies

As a result of increased pressure on the Council forces, we are committing another 125,000 troops to the fight. These reinforcements will bring our total troop number to 250,000. We wish to urge all the allied Air Forces to be ready to strike as soon as the storm clears. Targets will be issued 3 hours before the beginning of "Operation Zammoran Storm" which will strike at key Redemptionist facilities and troop concentrations. We also wish to express our worries at the advance of Syvorjin troops towards the capital. If they really wish to assist the council, then they can deploy along the frontline and not seize the capital as we believe they were intending to do.

OOC: Im horible at map making programs but ill tell something of the Island. Zammroa is basicaly a large flat island with a few mountains. The soil is overal extremely muddy due to the rain. Only a few mountains exist in the western parts. Overal the rest of the soil consist of muddy hills or plains. Not much interesting actualy. There is one large river which splits the island in 2 parts. New Zammor is build next to it. 3 Bridges connect these pieces of land. One lies within New Zammor but was destroyed after a big battle. The Two others both lie to the West of New Zammor.

To the Gernonaise Senate:
We have pinpointed critical Redemptionists facilitys. The Unar Commerce ports, the city of Unar. And several Large compounds. We have transmitted the coordinates. As per the Syvorji "Treath"
We are sending them a warning to turn around as New Zammor is off limits due to security reasons. If they do not turn around they will receive one final warning and if they continue we will open fire.

-Zammoran High-Council

A message was also send to the Syvorji troops:

"We hereby ask to turn your men away from New Zammor. As declared earlier it is off-limits due to security reasons. We kindly ask you to return and assist the offensive against the Redemptionists or leave the conflict."

Classified location, approximately within striking distance of the Srxa harbour, His Majesty's Submarine 536. Conversation between the Chief of the Boat and the Commanding Officer.

"Herr Korvettenkapitän, Caisson-missiles are loaded in the tubes and ready for launch. Please designate targets."

"Target are the frigates at anchor, once the state of war have been formally declared, you may launch at will."

"Yes, Sir."

Minutes later, an Ultra-level encrypted radio communication descends on a harmless looking resting fish in the water, the radio buoy. Another few minutes later, three streamlined, sea-skimming missile bearing a fuel air explosive each plunges out of the murky waters in succession.

Less than five minutes later, similar missiles shot out of the waters and headed towards Unar Commercial Port.

To: Zammoran Council and Allies

The Gernonaise Ground forces have noticed a decline in the strength of the storm, so we expect it to stop very soon. I would like to suggest to all of the Joint-Strike nations to have your planes in the air and on standby by 11:00 local time (other than the councils, seeing that the storm is still in progress over their nation). We plan to strike at 12:00 local time. As we said earlier, Gernonai is committing 25 F-35's (fighter-bombers) and 15 F-22's to the attack. This attack should grind the Redemptionist advance to a halt.
