The Rhodo-Eprarian War (Attn:Epraria, Open) [MT]

[Leanore]

To Leanore
From the Solmaki High Command
Encryption: High

We wish to maintain a firmly defensive war. After quick military analysis, we have come to the conclusion that Old Rhodeasia has little chance of victory. It is significantly smaller, has a small military, less of a budget, and cannot project power efficiently into Epraria. The worst case scenario is that the Old Rhodesians take perhaps a few square kilometers of land, and they know this. Their victory relies on foreign aid and our indecision. They cannot realistically take any more than a few cities.
However, the North States of China has firmly stated that it wishes to simply pull it's personnel out of the nation. Furthermore, the Northern states of China must realize by now that Old Rhodesia is about as communist as a Western Business man; it's a blatantly capitalist nation based primarily on Private enterprise. Their only similarity is their Totalitarian policy.
Gillanore too must realize that this is true, and we expect they will pull their troops out as soon as Northern China pulls out. They are not fighting for communism, and they know this.
If we attack, we risk provocation. We will wait for them to leave, then attack. Until then, all operations should be solely defensive.

General David Shephard agrees with these plans. We already have war plans and some strategies available after they leave. When we do attack Rhodesia, Leanore will not kill civilians, but all Rhodesian soldiers that attack will be killed without hesitation. Thank you for your support.

Emperor William Atherton

OOC: Yeah, that was a pretty blatant meta game right there....
Furthermore, we stated our intent to NOT attack, so I suppose it was meant as a response to my mesaage to them.
But its a bit confusing.

Update:

The M777 Light-Towed Howitzers have been strategically placed around the cities and are ready to fire at any given notice. RADAR units have discovered some known locations of Rhodesia's soldiers, but will not attack.

The Emperor, Emperor William Atherton, has arrived a little bit earlier than expected in Epraria. The Emperor will be speaking in public on balconies and inside buildings. He will also be speaking in some smaller cities, not just the ones that the Empire of Leanore will be guarding.

Back in Leanore City, Leanore, there is a military parade, consisting of over 85,000 soldiers. A total of 15 ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile's) were in the parade.

Fine threats, but threats not backed my military actions are simply that; threats.

As you can obviously see, the military strategic advantage is with the Eprarian allied coalition. Any military expert will tell you that Epraria’s greater size, natural geography and availability to coastal regions and resources gives our alliance a far greater edge in this war. Any Adept military expert that is.

Furthermore, you don’t seem to notice that the nation you are in support of is non Communistic, not even Socialist in nature. We have no qualms against Democratic Socialists, but this nation is neither. This nation is a Fascist Capitalist State of Corporate greed. If you are determined to continue to support Old Rhodesia, you will become the laughing stock of the World. You will be throwing away the lives of your soldiers in the defense of a communist nation that isn’t even communist, rather a quite blatantly capitalist state with a complete lack of civil rights. It essentially is everything wrong with Stalinism, and disregards Communism’s good points, which are the reason we support Democratic Socialists and Legitimate Communistic societies.

And finally, you have announced that your soldiers are in the nation in support of Northern China, whose only interest is to pull out it’s personnel.

You have just perjured yourselves on the international scene.

We do not fear an attack upon the Solmaki homeland. While our army is only 300,000 strong, each of those soldiers is a professional volunteer with only the best of equipment, and every citizen is a trained reservist with roughly 6 weeks of conditioning and training a year. We have thousands of skeleton divisions which can be mobilized and filled with soldiers nearly instantly.

We also have aid of nations such as the mighty New Roman Empire, a nation whose power and might dwarves yours if I may add. We are a coastal nation with few landing positions, which makes an assault by sea costly and destructive. Assuming you defeat our powerful beach defenses, we have endless mountain ranges where your soldiers WILL get lost and cut off from lines of supply and communication, while facing trained Mountaineers who will disrupt your supply lines to the point where attacking us while cost you nearly 1 trillion Nation states dollars a single day. If you have trillions upon trillions of dollars to throw away, feel free to launch an assault. If not, we’d advise you to back off. We have numerous allies, and while your nation is large, our allies would probably be able to make mincemeat of your nation.

And finally, if you support Old Rhodesia, you will be effectively bringing about the destruction of a Socialist nation. Epraria is socialist. It is heavily Socialists, as is Solmakia. Yes, Solmakia is a Socialist nation, and our business is mostly nationalized. You would be fighting nations of Socialism and democracy to support a nation of Facism and Capitalism.

Now, we urge you once again. Think about what you are doing. If you are fine throwing your men’s lives away to destroy a Socialist nation, and fight another Socialist nation, all to defend a blatant Facist Dictatorship with a Capitalist economy, then by my guest. If not, then be prepared to meet us on the field of battle.

From: The Empire of Leanore, Eprarian Allied Coalition

As you can see, I have no-fly zone restrictions set up in the airspaces of the major cities of Epraria. I also have soldiers, supply units, communication units, RADAR units, naval fleets, and air units already settled. You are already at a dis-advantage here, as it would be very hard for you to just attack the no-fly zones with FA-18E's in groups of 3 patrolling the zone. I also have 50 M1A1 Abrams Tanks at my disposal to blow your soldiers and armored units away. Not even mentioning the Howitzers that know some positions of your soldiers by RADAR.

The Empire of Leanore will no longer stand for Gillenore's threats and behavior. As we respect you extracting citizens, I demand that once your citizens are extracted that you leave the region immediately or we will be waiting at your doorstep. Trust me, in the past wars that the Empire of Leanore has been in, we have not been defeated yet. I fought Navorgska and Cromanatum at the same time, with no help.

And, if you are going to try to attack the Empire of Leanore at out homeland, you better have a pretty large navy, plus war plans and strategies to go along with it. I haven't even deployed my Z7's yet (Aircraft that Leanore created).

To Leanorian Armed Forces and it's allies
From the 14th North Chinese Expeditionary Armed Force
Your threats against Gillenor are becoming worse and more disturbing everyday. Our main goal is the preservation of socialism, and the Grand Alliance of Socialist States will not allow violence to break out between both of you, since we're both fighting against a fascist. I demand you stop quarelling and extract citizens and fellow socialists as fast as you can. You may have defeated weaker foes, but our armed forces when compared to yours, is pretty well armed. Not only that, but we can call our allies to fight alongside us, and you will be under a bit of trouble. I know this may sound intimidating, but our main goal is to peacefully extract citizens and fellow socialist, and let your war begin. We have also considered sending financial support to the forces fighting against Old Rhodesia, but that would be impossible if both of you keep fighting each other. We will fight alongside our allies, and we shall defend them, no matter what.

From Solmakia

Being ourselves a Socialist nation, we do not wish for a war between our states.
However, Gillenore has threatened to attack our nation and her sacred shores. Such a threat will not go without threats in response. It is merely a bluff to protect ourselves from an invasion by Gillenore that has no chance of success. We are doing this to prevent the occurrence of a costly war.
We have no desire for war with you, we only want to preserve Epraria's sovereignty from a clearly Fascist state. Is this too much brothers?
We will not make threats against Gillernore again, but we WILL defend ourselves. Have we not the right?
If a nation were to threaten military action against you, would you not try to intimidate and convince them otherwise?
You can remove your personnel. We don't plan to launch an attack any time soon

To Solmakia:
From USNC:
We shall negotiate with Gillenor to avoid war, but if attacked, we will have to fight alongside them. And we are not moving our personnel comrade, since our forces aren't done with the evacuation yet. In fact, we have decided to direct our forces against Old Rhodesia to defend Epraria, not because it is socialist, but because Old Rhodesia have lied.

To Old Rhodesia:
From the USNC:
We demand you cease hostilities right now, or else our allies in the Union of Red Nations and the Workers International will be forced to intervene. You claim to be socialist, but by declaring war on Epraria, you are clearly telling the world that you are fascist. If you are truly socialist, then cease ALL hostilities and instead of invading Epraria for no apparent reason, provide financial aid for their workers. If you are truly socialist, you would not simply invade a country. That is called imperialist, and it's as if Epraria is weaker than you. Epraria now has my support, since our doctrine in the Grand Alliance of Socialists Stats clearly label fascism as being an ""extension of imperialism". And you are showing imperialist behaviors. If you don't cease combat activities soon, we shall attack.

The plans have been finalizied, hopefully the Eprarian Allied Coalition will attack Rhodesian
soil. Then, Old Rhodesia will be too weak to defend itself again, so we will take the country and it's resources for ourselves. However make sure you keep making it look like you wish to defend their country to the last man.

[Epraria]

Today the emperor of leanore made a speech at a mayor eprarian city saying that more Lea Priam forces would arrive. Some of Eprarias more paranoid citizens where not happy but most saw it as a helping hand.

In East epraria eprarian forces relaunched operation black raven and took back the city of Nirosa and ritara from the rhodesians the 6th and 7th armies numbering 200.000 men each quickly destroyed most resistance in central East epraria and still advancing. Eprarian forces are also very careful to evade areas where UNSC forces are evacuating their citizens from the war.

To:the united states of northern china
From:the federated states of epraria.

We would like ask you how the evacuation of your citizens is going as we have soon retaken east epraria we will soon counter attack into rhodesia and would not want to hurt innocent civilians in the fighting.

From the Unified states of North China:
Encryption: HIGH
We are now officially in an alliance, if you don't mind. We have observed that the Rhodesian forces are being increasingly arrogant. More men are being sent into Old Rhodesia, and this we will be launching an offensive soon. It would be very helpful if you could start the first offensive, then we'll follow through.

Speech from Gen. Lu Giao to the citizens of Epraria:
Today, we fight as comrades! 2 minutes ago, we received orders to take arms against the forces of the fascist country over the border, and we shall do that. We have 5,000 troops, with 40,000 travelling here and should be here soon enough. This battle is a battle of freedom, and those who want to oppress it. This war is a war against the devil, those fascist scums across the border. We shall preserve your freedom, and destroy the fascist forever!

[Epraria]

Today in a speech UNSC general lu gau said that the UNSC was now allied with our nation against the facist nation of rhodesia. President Jose Fernandes said in a speech in Arastos later that he and the senate was thankful for this turnout and that we would prevail together with The UNSC aleckandor and possibly leaner and solmakia.

On the front lines the 6th and 7th armies has liberated most of east epriaria with 40.000 casualties mostly against stubborn rhodesian garrisons and generalísimo Xavier Gomez have declared operation black raven a success.
From the Arastos journal.

To:The united states of north china

Declaration of War Against Rhodesia

[Unified states of North China]

30,000 troops of the USNC 14th Expeditionary have landed on the shores of Old Rhodesia to join with the 5,000 troops that were evacuating the the citizens. 45 MiG-47NC flew over and bombed several government targets, while the USNC FAAF (Forward Air Attack Forces) of 91 MiG-45, 72 AB-51 Stealth Bombers, 93 AB-41 Bombers, and 45 EAF-34 neutralized Old Rhodesian airfields to keep air superiority. In the sea, the super ship Mao Zedong and Koxinga entered Old Rhodesian waters to bombard the Old Rhodesian defenses before the landing happened, and the fleet of 100 ships, one fifth of the whole North Chinese Navy, entered Old Rhodesian waters.

[Solmakia]

The Solmaki Special Forces have landed behind enemy lines via Chincook, and are striking at the vulnerable lines of supply.
They are armed with the M-16 or m-41a Carbine, both adept weapons, the latter for urban or jungle warfare, the first being for open combat.
Armed with these weapons, knives, garottes and c-4 charges, their intent is to disrupt enemy supply and communication lines.

[Aleckandor]

THE GANF 17TH NAVAL TASK FORCE, JUST OFF EAST EPRARIAN COAST

"Here's the SitRep, ladies and gentlemen." iterated the Aleckandorean Marshal 'Aivenn Wenthroskha' of the Grand Aleckandorean Marine Legion's 58th Assault Division, as he waved his wingers at the holographic projection of the Blawesome Corporation's 360BattleMap™ tabernacle set up on the bridge of the AGNV Eocottus, one of the ten Founder-Class supercarriers of the Confederacy's naval ranks. The grayish outlook of the artificial light map rose up and reanimated its pixels to formulate an ever-fluctuating view of the region-wide battlefield of East Epraria and the borderlands of Rhodesia to the west and the south. "GHQ's already set up down here," said Aivenn, focusing his finger on a green collection of tents, portables, pads, and vehicles concentrated in a square-mile radius on the beach just south of the fleet. "At ME Precinct 77." With another touch of his finger, he widened the map and moved it westward, his quarry of other officers looking on attentively.

"The USNC's Forward Air Attack Forces have decimated the Rhodesian aerodromes. This has significantly made ours and other allied forces' objectives much easier." he stated. The Marshal then pointed two the two North Chinese superships yonder the coastline, pounding enemy ground battalions for their 14th Expeditionary Division's advance. "These are the Mao Zedong and the Koxinga. While they are only about one half the size and not nearly as advanced as our Freek-imported Dreadfire command dreadnoughts, they are still extremely deadly and capable of instrumentally providing every allied operation in the area the support it needs to choke out Old Rhodesia's manpower." He refocused out from that area and moved back the southeastern front, where the brunt of Aleckandorean and Eprarian troops were being focused on recapturing Covona and Barato. Minutes passed as he deduced further on the Rhodesian movements and what the Solmakis, Gillenoreans, and the Leanoreans have done so far. He closed the 360BattleMap shortly thereafter.

"Dismissed. We are upppin' the ante, people. Let's get to it." he declared, as he put on his forge cap and exited the bridge along with everyone else.

14th Expeditionary Army Headquarters- Area 5
"Now, gentlemen, we see the great navy of the Aleckandor Armed Forces. With such big ships, we should be glad that they aren't our enemies. Not saying that they can win us easily, but they have complete naval superiority in this . Note that our planes could easily defeat Aleckandor's, and our tanks could destroy there's as easily. Now let's get to work, how are the marines doing" asked General Liao. "Sir, we've built some small fortresses to hold out any more Old Rhodesian counter attacks, but we're going to need more stable supply lines." said Maj.Gen. Nowu Isakara. "How about the army forces?" he turned to ask his army commander. "We're advancing easily into the forest sir. It's not to dense." he replied. "Yeah, good. How about the air force?" he turned. "I can more or less say that we now have complete air superiority over the enemy. They can't possibly fight back that hard if they don't quickly rebuild there destroyed bases, and they can't do that. That'll over stretch there forces, so we could launch a pincer and destroy them. I think they're more or less aware of that." he said.
