The Conglomerate [MT ; PMT]

[Automagfreek]

Basically, it's a coalition of countries that are tired of my nations hatred of furries, and have decided to invade my country to remove the current government (lol) and replace it with one which is more to their tastes (double lol.)

So far, it's confirmed to be Gc1mak and Allanea, with possibly Libertarian Governance and a maybe on others, since it will be an open thread.

The latter two are invading Gholgoth at the moment, I'm not sure how they can muster enough force to invade you as well.....

I'm not sure what the big focus for them is, it's likely they'll focus more on Gholgoth, since you guys have a larger retaliatory capability than we do, and ours is primarily focused on managing our territory.

But, I wasn't too sure that Gc1mak was invading Gholgoth, so now that I do, that changes things a bit for me.

[Tiurabo]

Though we've been gone for some time, our good neighbor Jenrak graciously gave us permission to reenter the organization with little to no problems. That was some time ago, and I have now decided to take him up on that offer, returning to the ranks as a member state of the glorious Conglomerate. During our isolation, there have been minor changes to our nation, but they will soon be recorded for clarity's sake.

Do I hear any objections?

I don't believe he is, just Allanea and Libertarian Governance. Come to think of it, LG might not be participating after all, since almost nobody on their side is posting and he said something about bowing out.

Welcome back!!!

Before we get to your re-entry, I would like to brief you on what's going on right now.

- AG will be invaded, so Protocol 01 will be in effect. Given the nature of the whole thing, I will keep you at your default designation - a Hand member. That means you will be required, without question, to provide an undetermined military number to support in AG's defense.
- We have 2 Non-Aggression Pacts: one finished with NATO, and another in the works with ODECON. I'm trusting you know who both organisations are, so for the sake of good relations with everyone, just be sure of who's who.
- And don't forget to IRC it up, since I know now how to vaguely work an IRC channel

On another note, to AMF - did I just get rejected from NATO? lol, I'm not to phased, since I was pretty lazy when I was actually in it before, but it's nice to clarify it since I never got a reply.

It was my understanding that you opted out from joining, which was why we did the NAP.

[Tiurabo]

Hey, everybody, it's the other Dominion!

Don't worry, I'll be safely disappeared again in a few days, just you wait.

Now that I think about it, that'll probably make the most sense ICly, so let's go with that, then. Well, that's one thing crossed off my clusterfuck of a list of things-to-figure-on-NS.

Yes, yes. That'll be fun for everybody but me.

[Tiurabo]

As I am not fully abreast of the situation as of yet, would you be so kind as to tell me what stage of operations I should be initiating?

[Jenrak]

Whatever your military is good at, we'll talk details of that later on, but you can just telegram me like before, and I can get your name up if there's problems with the other members.

[Saurea]

I'd like to raise my hand and point out a couple technical issues I'm having over here, the main issue being that while I'm a member of The Hand at present I don't actually have a clear route out of my region of... my region that isn't blocked by some kind of enemy or general warfare.

On top of that, out of fourteen legion in the Saurean army, the 3rd and 4th are already deployed and dedicated to upholding "Silent Line" across two seperate borders, the 2nd is in the process of deploying in Barrettstia and the 1st, which traditionally is the vanguard of the entire army, is on alert and is probably going to end up in Revolvisia. The 5th through 9th are on alert.

I'm in one of those situations where I need to end this quickly to help but can't end it too quickly lest I spoil the fun for everyone else, so as I know what I can spare and when I have a clear "shipping lane" to send them I'd be more than happy to help out AG with his current issues.

Welcome back bruh.

AG: so...should we be gearing up to squash the enemy coalition? Mak, LG, et al...

Saurea: I've got virtually nothing deployed...so I can cover you in terms of sheer manpower until you're good.

Under half deployed already? o.O

Same from me.

[Tiurabo]

I'm in the same boat as the others, all troops safely in their respective barracks. Strike troops are gearing up in preparation for target confirmation.

Welcome back to the Conglomerate Tiurabo.

Jenrak: Changed my post a bit on your election thread.

[Seperates]

Fortunately being a member of the voice means I don't have to round up the troops just yet... Which is good becuase I'm being invaded by three countries as of now (Still no need for Protocol 1... Sol and I can just kick their butts ourselves.)

Oh and... Hello Tiurabo, I'm the new guy! It's good to see you back (even though I didn't even know you were here in the first place ... But whatever.)

[Solarva]

Sol and I can just kick their butts ourselves

You got that right. =P

[Saurea]

Well, in my defense the 3rd has been deployed for months now (in game time, what, weeks?). They've been along the Saurean/Revolvisian border ever since the original bombing, which led to ungodly amounts of refugee traffic. The 4th did the same thing along the Berethond border after they declared their intentions to side with the Vols. As far as the 2nd goes I'm still in the process of writing up a post to send RRF (Rapid Reaction Forces) into Pederton , Barrettstia as reinforcements. Mobilizing the entire 2nd will take a lot of time.

As far as help, which offers for are appreciated, my region mates don't want any of you involved. It would "unbalance" things too much and I would never hear the end of the resulting hissy-fit. Ever. At this point everybody should just siphon what they can spare over to AG.

When this war is over, however, I may have a plan or two that you can help with, but that's talk for another time.

Which when I saw that, it got under my skin as deploying a legion size force, 10,000 men or even a division size force, 20,000, wouldn't really unbalance things as there are more enemy from the looks of it. Just sitting back and watching isn't something the Dominion does...when an ally is in danger, we come in and do what we can to help. Ask Jenrak about that.

The Dominion will even aid AG, which will be hard for my nation because AG is threat to my non-human races.

That last part makes me smile this much:

[Brewdomia]

Saurea, I am pretty much at full deployment, I could send a fleet to clear out a lane if you want me too.

True, but they're already worried that having two "foreign" nation in relation to the region, two of Barr's ODECON buddies, would run the risk of unbalancing things. Of course, most of that sentiment came from before Revolvisia knew how much support he would be getting, which at this point consists of the entire Brachonis Thond-Rex alliance and the Fasdian Protectorate Blocke, the former of which being made up of four local political powerhouses and therefore an actual threat. The latter, to be honest, is the region's political chew-toy.

ODECON involvement is actually pretty limited, considering that canonically most of the alliance is engaged in conflict with The Blackhelm Confederacy and therefore the only ODECON forces actually present are in Barrettstian waters. Beyond them on Barr's side it's, well, Barr and Castleclose. And now me.

For now I think I have the land campaign covered. To give you an idea let me break it down. The Saurean Military is 25 million people strong. It's been at that strength since the country was floating around the 330 million-ish population mark, so now that I'm in the billions it's probably due for a hike up. Still, that strength is deployed across 14 independent "legions", two of which are deployed defensively and one of which is mobilizing as reinforcements. Another six at least are gearing up to deploy for later movement.

There's a reason that one of Archonis-Thay's cornerstones of international relations is "Try not to piss off Saurea".

At any rate, if things go according to plan, I will be needing help with an occupation down the line, and when that time comes the gloves are off.
