Slarvainian war of imperial expansion (MT. Open)

[Syike]

Field Commander George Ritter stared out over a smoking field towards the outline of a ruined once great city. Shavou... Shigatase's great western city...The field commander thought from his LAV-25.

Shavou indeed was once the Shigatase's western jewel. It was one of the largest industrial centers in the country and because of that also one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Over 5 million people lived there before the start of the war but now Ritter would be shocked to find a non-combatant in the city that wasn't trying to get out. Slarvainian shelling and bombing runs had hit this city hard. It's once many factories almost all reduced to ruble. The towering sky scrapers that had dominated the skyline (The first sky scrapers in all of Shigatase) were now just shells of their former self, only the steel supports still poked out somewhat into the sky. Who knew how many dead could be laying inside the city...

Ritter had the fortunate task of maybe being the first on the Slarvainian side to get an estimate of that. He was the head commander of an assault of 100,000 men, who had been tasked to take the city and secure the airport (the one thing that hadn't been targeted in the bombings).

Ritter looked through his binoculars one last time. Straining to see if he could spot any enemy positions. He was unable to but he knew those rodents were there.

Ritter brought his sat phone to his ear.

"Commence the attack." he ordered.

His LAV's engine roared to life and the vehicle jolted as it started moving towards the ruined city. Over head there was an even louder choir of roaring as flights of A-10's came soaring over the Slarvainian ground troops to commence final bombing runs against the city.

FOB Watchtower

A company of 300 paratroopers load into their cargo Boeing 747, cleverly disguised with civilian markings so they don't get shot down.

"Everyone make sure you didn't forget anything, check your gear, check your provisions, check your chutes. You'll have about 3 minutes before we take off." says the company commander.

All of the paratroopers feel around for anything missing, and they all give their CO a signal that they are ready to go. The Boeing takes off and sets a course to drop the paratroopers near Shavou, where the paratroopers will be just out of sight from the Slarvainian war machine.

IC: months had been spent planning. The time was now. After months, the Prime Minister would finally return home, his honor restored. Some Shemienese royal guards who were secretly still loyal to parliament had joined the cause. The Plan was ready to be carried out.

Shemiense Capital City, Shemiki
The guards began their shift. It was midnight. The plan was for them to all meet, and march as a unit to abduct the members of the royal family, execute any opposing guards, and send the royal family to a USN maximum security prison. They would also do the same with the other high ranking members of the government. Afterwards, USN/pro-parliament shemienese troops would converge on the nation, placing it under martial law until order could be reestablished, and parliament could regain control. The remainder of the parliament that was left after the Shemienese civil war would be on standby to reenter the city.

"Are you all ready?" the guard in charge of the coup, Andrew Flou, asked.

"Yes!" they all answered.

"then lets move!" He said.

They all converged at the King and Queen's room, noticing the guards guarding the door. "How are we going to take them out without waking the King & Queen?" a guard asked. "I think I have a plan." Captain Flou stated. "We lure them away from the door, and when they are a considerable distance away, we fire on them.

the unit of guards moved away, until they were out of sight. then, the captain picked up his pistol, and fired a random shot, making sure the guards could just barely hear it.

[b]Natan City, USN Federal District, USN

The President was sitting at his desk, looking on a GPS the movements of Natanian/Shemienese Parliamentary Troops. They were nearing the Shemienese border, ready to march in and occupy the nation. if the King and Queen could be kidnapped, then the government would be in chaos. in the commotion, the parliament could be reinstalled. Their goal was to take the shortest route immediately to the Shemienese capital, occupy it, and slowly return the rest of the nation to parliamentary rule. to encourage the citizens to help, the plan is to extend civil rights after reestablishing parliament. meanwhile, The President had other matters to attend to as well.

Dear respective leaders,

We all have the same goal: to stop slarvainian's imperialism. therefore, I propose we establish formal military relations.

Sincerely, Nate Natan, President

OK, now do it without godmodding. Ignore-Cannoned again.

Natan, there's no way that you can end up right at the King and Queen's room in one post. A better post would be to assemble your squad, identify their training and equipment, and what reconnaissance they have done to know their way around the castle. You detail which guards in what locations around the castle are loyal to you, keeping in mind that it would be a small number, and then detail how you break through initial security, For details about security and guard locations, as well as the layout of the castle and its defenses, you can telegram me. Once you've broken through initial security and infiltrated the castle, that would be a very good place to stop your post and let me counter your infiltration. Questions?

Second of all, we don't share a border. We're in different regions. You'd need to RP a proper ORBAT, and the deployment via sea of your forces to my nation, and give me time to counter it. Also, since the pro-Parliament Shemienese troops are Shemienese, I get to RP them, not you. Questions?

1. fine. I will repost without them being immediately at the bedroom door. though I don't see how that is godmodding.
2. yes, I am aware that we are different regions, but keep in mind that the plan was months in the making, and in that time, they very well could have been sent.
3. I was not RPing the pro parliament forces, I simply stated that they were marching.

Bombers indeed, my dear Extarious. That just so happens to call for aircraft carriers, which of course need escorts. Our fleets will need to be of significant size, but the point was to overwhelm Natan with numbers anyway!

Théodore I

Encryption: High

Very well Theodore. I will be able to send about half of my fleet to fight Natan if we so choose and a few hundred thousand land troops for a land invasion. That should be more than adequate when combined with your contributions. Also to add to that I suggest you load whatever stockpile you have of chemical or biological weapons. We may decide to have some fun while over there.

Shavou Garrison

General Yuan Omashu watched from his pair of binoculars as the Slarvainian assault force advanced. Dirty imperialist dogs...thought Yuan just as there was a roaring overhead as the Slarvainian ground strike planes roared over the Shigatase positions. An already destroyed building next to Yuan erupted in a fiery explosion and the General jumbled to take cover behind a partially destroyed wall. The planes passed overhead and the General continued to hear explosions throughout the city.

"Anyone injured!?" called out Yuan to his men that had also taken up position in the area of the explosion. A series of "aye"s came back to the general and he silently prayed thanks to the gods. With the Shavou garrison down to 15% its original force of 20,000 men (now 3,000) and the militia numbering roughly 7,500,, the general could not spare any more troops to these erratic bombings.

Yuan picked his pair of binoculars up off the ground, thanking the god's again the lens weren't broken and starred out again at the advancing Slarvainian force. The image that starred back at him was daunting Hundreds, maybe even thousands of APC's and MBT were advancing towards the city. If Yuan's troops tried to hold this frontal position they would be devastated by the Slarvainian's firepower which had devastated the Shigatase's military throughout this war. T-60 Tanks destroyed before the enemy came into view, hundreds of Mig-21's and 23's swatted out of the sky like they were paper airplanes, thousands of burnt out BMP's laid across the country from Shavou to the border. It was not surprising that the Slarvainian's were now here, 350kms into Shigatase.


“Sir, they’re almost in range.” Reported one of Yuan’s officers to him.

“Very good soldier. Order the men to fire at will.”With that Yuan brought his binoculars back to his eyes and watched his soldier’s first attack on the Slarvainian’s.

First, went the mortars. Propelled explosive projectiles that would do easy infantry damage as well as damage to more lightly armoured vehicles.

Second, the RPG’s. Rocket propelled grenades, simple to operate and cheap, there were millions deployed with Shigatase forces across the country.

Third, standard firearms. The Shigatase regular’s were armed mostly with the standard AK-47 and some had the type-95 assault rifle. The Shigatase militia were armed with an assortment of weapons but most could be classified as bolt action rifles.

A flight of the A-10's after completing their bombing runs had spotted the Boeing 747 overhead. This was the conversation that took place over the radio.

Pilot 3: hey look guys a civ. Who wants to have some fun with that.
Pilot 4: What kind of fun?
Pilot: It's been a while since we had some LIVE target practice.
Pilot 4: HAHA! your right.
Pilot 1: Stand down 3 and 4. For all we know that plane could be packed with foreign nationals. Last thing we want is to bring any more countries against us.
Pilot 3: Oh come on lead. No one will care. We can always blame it on the Shigatasians.
Pilot 4: Ya come on lead.
Pilot 1: That was an order you two.
Pilot 2: You guys better listen to lead here. We may be winning this war on almost all fronts but discipline is essential.
Pilot 3: Ok ok. Fine. will leave the big fat transport plane alone.
Pilot 1: Good. That's what I wanted to here.

The flight of planes then took off back towards base.

The pilot of the 747 stares nervously at the flight of A-10s leaving. He turns to his co-pilot. "Jesus, they were flying straight at us for some time."

"Yeah, looks like they're leaving now. We're over the target, get ready to tell the paras to jump."

The red light flashes.

"Alright boys, stand up and check your shit."

About a minute passes, the green light flashes and the ramp opens. The jump master gets in his spot, and all 300 men get in a cramped formation.

"GO, GO, GO, GO!"

These words are repeated until all 299 men are out, then the jump master dives out.

--

300 parachutes all hit the ground within seconds of each other, to which 300 paratroopers release them from their torso. After packing their chutes and then leaving them there, they remove their paratrooper helmets and apply their green berets to their heads.

The company commander rallies them up.

"Alright, listen up good because I'm not going to repeat myself." He takes out his map. "We are here. We're about a mile or two away from Shavou, and that place is hotter than the beaches at home on a summer day. We're expecting air support to come around from Watchtower to soften up Slarvainian air and armor in Shavou, and we're gonna see if we can do some sabotaging of their operations. We're not going to participate in a battle for this damned city, so only fire when fired upon. The rest of the Red Army will be here after we get our jobs done. Any questions?"

There is silence.

"Very well. Let's get moving."

[Slarvainian]

Shavou.

A mortar exploded 20 meters in front of field commander George Ritter's LAV as it rolled towards Shavou. Although the Shigatase attack was brave it was too pathetic. This attack was no match compared to what the Slarvainian's firepower that they possessed. The T-90 and challenger 2 tanks that were participating in the Slarvainian assault were quick to locate the Shigatase positions based on the direction that the firing was coming from. The Shigatase weapons were no matched compared to the powerful main cannons on these battle tanks.

General Yuan Omashu had planned for the unavoidable situation that his troops would be facing firepower of which they could not match. When the Slarvainian tanks started to fire, Yuan knew it was time to initiate stage two of his defence scheme. He ordered his men to empty their current magazines and pull back into the inner city where a transition would be made to guerrilla warfare. In the end, his troops attacks had managed to knock out some Slarvainian APC's and even put some tanks out of commission but still the Slarvainian assault was coming towards the city at 100% force.


Capital of Shigatase, Shi City.

Emperor Shengzu had ruled the nation of Shigatase for the last half century. The man himself was now in his early 70’s. Emperor Shengzu had been watching the many situation’s on the front closely and even making many strategic decisions himself such as the thousands of kilometers of trenches that were now being constructed outside Shi city, preparing it for an attack. Now though the situation in Shavou had his full attention. The city was the closest and largest city to Slarvainian capture where they could gain access to a main Shigatase highway that led right to Shi city.
Pure anger was the feeling he felt whenever Shengzu thought about how these devils had invaded his country without reason. It was a feeling that grew more and more powerful and common with the days. He had had a serious conversation only hours before with his head general about what to do if the Slarvainian’s managed to break through the defences at Shavou.

“If they get through... drop it. Wipe them off the face of this earth and send them to the caverns of hell.”

It was an order that his general openly argued against with but Shengzu only reminded the general that his duty was to defend his nation and his emperor at all costs and the general’s only response was to bow his head and submit. The order would be carried out if the conditions were right.

However though everything was being done to aid Shavou so that the Emperors orders would not have to be carried out. 40,000 men, mostly reserves, were being sent to reinforce the struggling and failing garrison at Shavou. It was the last hope prevent this war from going nuclear.

[Slarvainian]

Shavou.

As the Shigatase attacks ceased General Ritter knew immediately what that the Shigatase troops were up to. He ordered his men forward to take the city and in addition called in some air support to deal with the Shigatase positions.

Overhead 20 Mi-24 attack helicopters came soaring over the Slarvainian force heading towards Shavou. They began seeking out Shigatase positions and annihilating them with their side loaded missiles. Although some Mi-24s were initially shot down by the Shigatase troops carrying RPGs, those weapons were primitive and unguided and were no match for the equipment of the Slarvainian military.

The Slarvainian assault force of 100,000 men had by this point entered into the ruined city. Making their way through the debris cluttered streets, sometimes having to stop to clear rubble from the streets so the tanks and APC's could make their way through. It was during these moments where Shigatase troops hiding amongst the ruined buildings would strike, popping up from their hiding places and unloading their weapons upon the Slarvainian forces. It was this strategy of guerrilla warfare that made the process of capturing Shavou so bloody and costly.

[Shemiki]

Whelp, I'd say my forces have had plenty of time to mobilize. To recap, there are now four Shemienese invasion fleets making their way to the United States of Natan.

Invasion Fleet One is headed for the USN state of Liberatia, and will blockade from the north.

Invasion Fleet Two is to cut off the states of New Brunsen, New Ieswick and Massopi from the state of Masik.

Invasion Fleet Three is to cut off New Almmena, Wanten and New Caltutta from Masik.

Invasion Fleet Four is to blockade the state of Bortes and the Southwestern Territories from the north and east.

Once they are finished, they will bomb Natan and wait for his resolve to break and for the Slarvainian fleet to arrive before allowing Slarvainian to invade Natan, covering the JSUV forces with their airpower and seapower as they invade.

1 Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier.
14 F/A-18E Super Hornets
14 F/A-18F Super Hornets
24 F/A-18C Super Hornets (12 per squadron)
6 EA-6B Prowlers
6 E-2C Hawkeyes
8 SH-60F Seahawks
8 HH-60H Seahawks
10 C-2 Greyhounds
2 Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
3 Zumwalt-class destroyers.
1 Freedom-class littoral combat ship.
1 Independence-class littoral combat ship.
2 Virginia-class attack submarines.
1 Supply-class fast combat support ship.

This is the basic formation of each of the four Shemienese ORBATs, with a few exceptions.

1) The aircraft carrier operated by Shemiki is of the Gerald R. Ford-class, not the Nimitz-class.
2) The two frigates are replaced by one Independence-class LCS and one Freedom-class LCS.
3) There are three destroyers instead of two, the third being positioned in front of the aircraft carrier and between and slightly behind the cruisers.
4) The destroyers are of the Zumwalt-class, not the Arleigh Burke-class.

Extarius Maxim hadn't needed to give much thought into his course of action regarding Natan. That nation would finally be destroyed and Extarius didn't care how it was done. Fire or gas would do, just level the nation to the ground. If he could though he'd love to capture Nate Natan for himself. He had a lovely death in mind for the leader of the country who had caused his own much annoyance over the course of recent Slarvainian history. Extarius, had therefore ordered that almost half of the Slarvainian fleet as well as thousands of troops, depart from the western part of the country and head west towards Natan to launch a full scale assault.

Slarvainian Naval Fleet

1 Maxin class super carrier
3 Radulov class aircraft carriers
6 Kirov class cruisers
12 Kongo class destroyers
20 Type 23 frigate
8 Ticonderoga class cruiser
15 Eli Class submarines
10 Putinov Class nuclear submarines

This fleet was now on course to meet up with the Shemiki ORBAT.

200km off the coast of the Natanian state Bortes...

The Slarvainian fleet had finally arrived off the coast of Natan. Admiral Nakhimov had been placed in charge of the Slarvainian fleet by emperor Extarius Maxin. Now as he stood on the bridge of the SMS Maxin, the Slarvainian super carrier, Nakhimov looked out over the ocean, keeping his eyes peeled for the Shemiki fleet. Where are they... he thought.

90% the Natanian military arrived at the coast of bortes, ready to defend it.

"General, prepare to surround the slarvainian forces, meanwhile, I will contact our allies to assist us." the president said via computer.

Now as he stood on the bridge of the SMS Maxin, the Slarvainian super carrier, Nakhimov looked out over the ocean, keeping his eyes peeled for the Shemiki fleet. Where are they... he thought.

The Shemienese fleet had picked up the Slarvainian fleet with AWACs earlier in the day, and was proceeding to the rendezvous. This particular fleet had been more south, towards the Southwestern Territories, and had spent the past few hours making its way north.

As the Shemienese fleet came in visual range of the Slarvainian fleet, Captain Petrie of the Shemienese aircraft carrier Amitié did a double-take. I suddenly feel weak. The Slarvainian fleet had four carriers to Shemiki's one, fourteen cruisers to Shemiki's two, twelve destroyers to Shemiki's three, twenty frigates to Shemiki's two littoral combat ships, and 25 submarines to Shemiki's two.

Petrie reminded himself that there were three other Shemienese fleets identical to his stationed in various places around the USN, so their numbers equaled out after that was taken into account.

To: Slarvainian ORBAT
Encryption: High

We may seem small, but never fear, we have three other fleets like this one, two blockading the northern islands and one ready to invade Liberatia.

With this in mind, how to proceed? Shall we invade immediately, or soften Natan up? Or simply not risk troop losses at all and bomb him completely into submission?

Hoping you reply,'

Captain Petrie

As he finished the telegram, Petrie then followed the standard procedure which the three other Shemienese fleets had already done, setting up as round-the-clock mission to have eyes in the sky. Basically, no Natanians could sneak up or attack without being detected, because within twenty minutes two E-2C Hawkeyes were up in the air, keeping watch with their many radar devices. They would be up there for six hours, at which point two fresh Hawkeyes would relieve them. Since there were six Hawkeyes total, this gave the Hawkeye crews six hours on and twelve hours off. It also gave the landing crews practice at readying and servicing the planes. The 52 Super Hornets were also kept ready, just in case they needed to respond quickly.
