A single row of 18 T-98MS "Agila" MBTs with the crew of each tank sat ready to be launched on a mission to destroy, or at least weaken, Columbionite artillery and AA capabilities in Vybor to assist in the defensive operation. Each tank was modified to have FLIR capabilities, Kontakt-5 ERA, Shtora-1 active protection system, and numerous other systems for protection. Most of this was standard on T-98MS tanks, though. Once, a tank of the NADF operating with Kontakt-5 ERA fighting against ADRP insurgents managed to take 6 RPG-7 rounds, and was still operational. Each tank was painted in a simple olive drab color scheme, complete with a solid black star on each side of the turret. Some tanks even had multi-spectral camouflage on their tank.

A thunderstorm was in the forecast for the day, and the tankers all wore a jacket for the conditions. "Okay, everyone eyes here!" A voice came from in front of the row of tanks. Soon after it was heard, the crewmen of each of the tanks hopped down and stood in front of their vehicle. "As you probably all know by now, we're going behind enemy lines to flank the enemy artillery shelling our forces in Vybor currently." Sergeant Kafov stopped, and then spoke again. "We have our main forces combating their main forces around Vybor, so as long as they don't have any reserves their forces will most likely be disoriented, and hopefully there will be not a whole lot of armored resistance against us." Once again, he stopped for a few seconds and began again. "We've discussed the plan earlier, so I'm not going to repeat it here. Understood?" A loyd "Yes sir!" came from the row of crewmen in front of Sergeant Kafov. "Okay. Good. Now move, get in your tanks." As soon as Kafov said that, the crew of each tank hopped in. Some 40 seconds or so later, the tanks began to start up. A large cloud of smoke came from the engines of each of them. The mission had now commenced.

For this operation, there were two battalions of armored units, both separated into two platoons. Two platoons would go on both the west and east side of the side, searching and destroying any AA vehicles they could find. After that, the platoons would continue on to seek and destroy the Columbionite artillery positions. If there were any in their way, outposts and positions, and hostile armored vehicles would be engaged. The platoons would charge the enemy, using speed to try and disorient the Columbionites. The T-98MS was suited for numerous types of armored warfare, though it has been found in history that it did exceptionally well in this type. If needed, there were numerous backup platoons on standby in and outside of Vybor.

Code: Select all
TO: WHOEVER IT MAY CONCERN AT THE SOCIALIST PEOPLE'S PARADISE OF NICARO FROM: OLTIS JAVAK, PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NEW AUSTZELAND Greetings. We have heard of your request to send in a warship of yours into international Austzelandi waters. I will consider if I should accept or decline this request, and I will get back to whoever may be reading this as soon as soon as I decide. As for the short cease-fire that the rebels supposedly wish for, we will consider this. Again, I will get back to the reader as soon as I make a decision. Finally, I would like to say that we do everything we can possibly do in our power to minimize civilian casualties. A majority of people in rebel-held territory that have been killed by our forces are rebels fighting against us. I certainly hope you understand.

If the rebels are willing to set a treaty, or at least a cease-fire, than I shall hold back further movement, but I need to know ASAP...so I can tell our military commander.

The Prime Minister of Oskva has decided to halt all military movement until further instructions...

The 'ANS Savior' has reached the coast near the frontline. Its peacekeeping force will be stationed near the frontlines and will not engage the enemy, they will only engage when attacked.
The medical evacuation vehciles, both on air and on ground will be evacuating wounded soldiers and civilians and treat them on the ANS Savior and on medical camps set up by the peacekeepers.

The ANS Savior docked in one of the Austzeland controled harbors near the frontlines.

Legatian Imperial Armed Forces
Combat Operational Task Force XVI
Outskirts of Vybor, Northern New Austzeland
Operation Loricatus Aquila

Legatian forces had set up an enormous defensive perimeter outside of Vybor. Artillery, tanks, 3 entire legions, and multiple support units are forming a defense line to the general north of Vybor. This was not a last-ditch attempt at defense, yet it was a first and last defense attempt before the rebels would be able to reach Danluka. By all costs, this battle could not be lost.

The rumble of the heavy M82 Taurus tanks through the plains near Vybor thundered tremendously. They were painted a shade of olive drab, Legatian standard, with the iron horseshoe and the scroll inscribed with "EQUITUS" underneath, the seal of the Legatian Armored Cavalry, painted in drab off-white on the side of the tank's turrets. The tanks, equipped with active protection systems, trophy systems, reactive armor, and an array of other protection systems, expensive and advanced in nature, were to provide support for the extremely important Austzelandi attempt to take out local anti-aircraft sites so that Austzelandi and Legatian aircraft could engage the ground and artillery forces, relieving the main line.

"This is Carbo 1-1, all units, nearing RV points with Austzelandi 3rd Armored. They have received access codes for Joint Channel 3 on the radio, use it. If you have non-AP rounds loaded, reload now."

"1-1, this is 2-1, go again on that OPDET. Over."

"1-1 to all callsigns, you know the deal. Search and destroy. Anyone with a gun and who doesn't have any white on their flag is a viable target. Friendly fire will not be tolerated."

The sky darkened as rain started to pitter-patter on top of the massive Taurus tanks. They thundered through the fields, flattening brush. A sudden command came out:
"All units, halt!"
The tanks came to a grinding halt, violent and churning, as they received further orders.

"All units, we have a MAV in-air, take view of the sites."

The MAV showed view of at least 2 AA batteries.

"All right, puellas, we've got top priority on anti-aircraft. If we get that chance, we take it the hell out with no mercy. If it is not in a thousand pieces, then you haven't done it right. As soon as that's done, we're joining the others for a good old thunder run."

A loud "HOOAH" of enthusiasm went up over the net.

"Alright, let's get moving."

The sound of the jet engines of the tanks firing back up thundered through the fields as they approached the rendezvous point, but instead of stopping, a few of the commanders of the tanks just popped out of the gun hatches and yelled friendly, competitive taunts at the Austzelandi tankers.

"Don't die!"
"Don't worry about it! We've got this under control!"
"You just gonna sit there and look pretty?"

The commanders returned to their tanks, and the command went out:

"All units, Operation Loricatus Aquila is commencing. 2-1, break off."

"Roger that." 9 of the tanks broke off from the formation, going to the east, hopefully to be accompanied by the Austzelandi tankers. 2 IFVs followed them.

"1-1, prepared to meet 'n greet, how copy?"
"Full copy. Fire at will."

The sound of the tank's 120mm turrets firing was tremendous, the shells firing into the emplacement. The other section going to the east soon fired off their volley too, explosions sounding off in the distance. To support with the operation, artillery sections with the ONAGER Mobile Artillery System and BALLISTA Mobile Rocket Launch Platform began to fire off volleys as well at the positions, in attempt to rouse the positions and destroy anti-air capabilities and support the attacking Legatian tanks.

The tanks rolled up to the first anti-aircraft site, as the IFV's heavy back doors rolled down and spilled out 12 fully-armed infantrymen with PIL-V carbines from each IFV into the tank site, guns blazing.

11/08/2014 - 4:26 PM Local Time - Near Vybor, 4th Ground Division - 3rd Armored Battalion - New Austzeland Ground Forces

Sergeant Gurov sat in the commander's seat of his tank as it rumbled and bumped through the plains near Vybor, the rain pummeling down on the tank hard. There was a bright flash in his optics, then shortly afterwords a large boom from the thunder, though muffled due to the tank's heavy armor, sounded not even nearly as loud as the tank's diesel engine. He was the leader of his team of 18 tanks, and were working with a Legatian Cohort to eliminate the hostile AA. He was ordered to search on the eastern side of the city, while the other team searched the western side.

"Okay, all tanks, halt." Gurov ordered through his comms. All the tanks came to a sudden halt. "This is the point where we split. I want two teams of nine tanks. One section, which will be lead by me, is gonna go ahead first, more to the left of the town. Two section, lead by Sergeant Hussein, will move to the left of my section, more behind and about 300 meters or so to the right. They'll be the support section. Remember, do NOT fire upon Legatian tanks. Check your targets first. We're able to speak over the same radio channel as them, so ask get on there and ask them if you are unsure." With that, everyone agreed over the radio. "Fuckin' great. Now roll out."

The team began splitting into two sections of 9 tanks each, both moving to follow their orders. Gurov, out of curiosity, opened up the hatch above him to look out of the tank. Pushing himself up, the rain pounded on his head. Though his tank helmet blocked the rain from wetting his head, his coat was nearly getting drenched. He saw the 25 meter spacing between each of the tanks in his section, and smiled. Looking back in front of his tank, he noticed the fog just now emerging. "Looks like some fog's gonna roll in soon. Better hurry." Gurov commented. Getting back in his tank and closing the hatch above him, he sat back down in his chair. =

"Alpha 1-1, this is Bravo 1-2. We are in position and ready to move out. How copy?" Hussein informed Gurov over the comms of their tank helmets. "Affirmative. All units, begin moving out in a wedge formation. Out." The tanks in both sections began accelerating to about 30 km/h.

*** *** ***

"Alpha 1-1, this is 1-5. I have eyes on an enemy AA site. Permission to engage?" A tanker over the comms informed Gurov. "Negative. Wait. Bearing of the AA site?" The tanker who reported the sighting, Corporal Shestan, replied. "Bearing 154." Gurov looked through his sights in the commander's seat, through the KORD HMG controlled by a CROWS system. Looking towards the direction of the bearing, he switched on FLIR and spotted the position. "Affirmative. I have eyes on. Standby."
Peering through the sights a very little bit longer, he finally ordered his tank. "Okay, 1-5; hold fire." "Roger that." Shestan replied. Instead of ordering him to engage, Gurov ordered the gunner in his own tank to engage. Using the comms for his own tank, he ordered the gunner, Corporal Tomschik, to engage. "Fire, fire, HEAT!" A HEAT round would be loaded into the chamber of the cannon after the gunner fired off the current round in the chamber, with the help of an autoloader. Tomschik looked through the sights of the tank, taking aim. "Fire?" He asked. "Yes, god damnit, fire!" After that, the loud boom of the tank firing erupted. A HEAT round was headed for the AA now.

The Prime Minister of Oskva has resumed the round of airstrikes. Six more airstrikes need to be completed from Oskva within the next 4 hours. Same scenario as before...our target is high rebel populated areas. And as always, our number one priority is to minimize the number of civilian deaths. And like always, the jets will be equipped with 500 pound bombs.

8/12/14 - Near Vybor - Oskvan Ship Holland - Oskvan Air Force

The Oskvan Navy ship, Holland, was getting an airstrike ready. The commander told two pilots getting ready to takeoff in the Dassault Rafael's to "Stay safe out there. I want you back in one peace." he also told them, "Our primary targets for these strikes are high populated rebel areas, and I do not want any civilian deaths. If you see civilians, turn back or call us for instructions."

The jet roared off Holland, and went for the airstrike.

Some time later...

"Commander, commander, I have eyes on target," said the gunner. "Do you see any civilians?" asked the Commander, "Nope. None. Requesting airstrike." "Alrighty. Request confirmed. Drop it." The gunner dropped the 500 pound bomb on the rebels, "Whoooooooo hoooooooo!!!!" said the pilot, very excitedly. The jet returned to Holland.

PRESIDENT SCOTT ORDERS 2500 TROOPS INTO NORTHEAST NEW AUSTZELAND

Fourtese Navy Vessels move into rebel-controlled coastal territory and begin to deploy soldiers.

News » International Conflict | Aug 12, 2014 | By Mike Karry

President Scott just now ordered 2,500 Fourtese Army troops into rebel-controlled northeast New Austzeland, after reports of ongoing violence in the region. His goal is to "return the territory to its rightful owners once the rebels are defeated" "within days time." The Navy is currently deploying troops from their fleet stationed off the coast of the said territory. Satellite images released from an organization named "IntSat United" indicate the fleet is now moving southwards, specifically to be parallel with the Austzelandi capital of Danluka. The reason 'why?' is unknown at this time.

In other news regarding this conflict, Fourtese tanks deployed from Giliberaftan territory are now approaching Serkala, a city dubbed the "rebel capital" by foreign states. Said tanks have - on multiple occasions since their deployment - exchanged fire with rebel forces.

OSKVAN PRIME MINISTER GIVES UPDATE SPEECH ON CURRENT WAR

Good afternoon, everybody. Today, I'd like to talk about the latest developments in northern New Austzeland.

Over the past few days, I have sent multiple airstrikes on the rebels and Columbion forces in northern New Austzeland because obviously they have taken over the northern part of New Austzeland. Many Oskvans are in New Austzeland, and it's highly concerning for me as a Prime Minister and a leader for Oskva, and I'm sure it's concerning for the people in Oskva in general, and quite possibly nations around the world. I have repeated myself many times saying that I do not want ground movement in northern New Austzeland, and I am going to stick with airstrikes for now. With that being said, I might send our Navy forces into this 'war'. We agree with New Austzeland for taking action, and if you were in their position as a leader, you would too.

These rebels and Columbion forces could get to the capital of New Austzeland, and that would be horrific. We cannot let them take over any more cities, or they might just take over a whole half of the country! I will do everything in my might to not let that happen...even if it means to send ground forces. Thank you.

Oskvan Prime Minister - "I will do everything in my might to not let these rebels takeover New Austzeland"

FOURTESE MILITARY AIDS THE REBELS IN PUSH TOWARDS DANLUKA

A Fourtese Military chinook out of many more deploys troops on the outskirts of Senkala.

News » International Conflict » Austzelandi Civil War | Aug 12, 2014 | By Axel Daraskovi

A shocking report emerged today that President Scott is now aiding the rebels; further pushing his and rebel forces towards the Austzelandi capital of Danluka. The Fourtese military forces in Austzelandi rebel territory signed a 'Cooperation in Solidity Agreement' that ensured each side would attempt to push toward Danluka. The 2,500 troops deployed earlier today are on their way towards Senkala, the dubbed 'rebel capital'.

"It's about time the Austzelandi government knew what we were really up to," said President Scott in front of the National Senate today, "we will begin the liberation of Danluka." He also stated "our forces combined will cooperate with that of Columbionite troops to ensure a stronger offensive against the ultra-capitalistic government of New Austzeland."

BREAKING: FOURTESE MILITARY BEGINS AIDING REBELS IN FIGHT AGAINST GOVERNMENT: Coming from Serkala today, it has been reported that the Fourtese government has chosen to betray the Austzelandi government in it's campaign against the ANP rebels in northern New Austzeland. The parliament has yet to make a statement on this, though is expected to soon. This comes as a campaign to drive rebel forces away from Vybor has just entered it's second day. The conflict has already taken a serious toll on the population of New Austzeland, and has only been going on for 4 days so far.

It has also been leaked that the NADF has made some movements with it's stockpile of anti-ship missiles (ASMs), due to the threat of enemy ships within international waters of New Austzeland. Though it cannot be said where these may be headed to. Another 250,000 soldiers have also been called up to fight the threat in the northern part of the country.

In other news, the pro-government guerilla organization known as the Central New Austzeland Alliance has vowed to fight against rebel forces, with their leader stating "This vile act of violence against the innocent population of New Austzeland has gone too far. To the rebels, and those nations who support them, I say this: you will suffer severe consequences for as long as you stay in a nation which is absolutely not yours to touch. We are everywhere within our nation. Expect us." The Austzelandi government has not made a comment on this yet.

Superior Council to Meet Over Concerns in New Austzeland

The Superior Council back in September 2011 over whether to intervene in the FLER Civil War.
(Sermong Aszer-Ponahit/Calvisburg Tribune)

News > International > New Austzeland | Posted: August 12, 2014, 5:09 PM | Last Updated: August 12, 2014, 6:53 PM | Written By: Fugamis Lkia

Calvisburg, Ontorisa - With the growing conflict in New Austzeland, Ontorisa's Superior Council has been called to meeting in the Penospala Building in Calvisburg over whether if Ontorisa should consider intervening in New Austzeland again. The previous time Ontorisa had intervened in New Austzeland was over the small piece of land divided up between Yarmala, Lossesin and New Austzeland itself. These forces were withdrawn following the ceasefire.

Recent reports by the Fourtese news website show Fourtese military forces assisting the rebels in making a push towards the New Austzeland capital of Danluka. The 2,500 soldiers that were reported by the same website were said "to be apart of a larger offensive" and that "our (Fourtese) forces combined will cooperate with that of Columbionite troops to ensure a stronger offensive". Neither the Fourtese or New Austzeland representatives declined to comment on this when asked.

Today, the Superior Council is planned to meet at the Penospala Building at 8:00 PM. Many civilians of Ontorisa are calling for a military intervetion in New Austzeland ever since Ontorisa's incorporation into the International Freedom Coalition, which New Austzeland is a member of. However, the Democrats, Liberals and Socialists are currently opposing the intervention, trying to build a "peaceful giant". The meeting is still planned to go through with Head Senator Tologar Fernitris attending the meeting.

The Prime Minister of Oskva also proposes that the Austzelandi government comes on live TV stations all around their country this evening to warn every city in N. Austzeland, even if their all the way down south, just incase the rebels get down there.

Also, if the rebels get any closer, then I can send ships to pick them up and take them to another country, unless of course they have seceret bunkers??

A small squadron of - most likely 11 or 12 - Fourtese soldiers were lazing around on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Senkala, one of which was on duty peering for threats and another was manning a K136 Kooryong rocket launcher attached to KM813A1 truck. It was midday, the sun high and the air and furiously pounding the soldiers with heat. Either way, they couldn't turn back.

"Hey, Cap, lookie on down there!" a soldier exclaimed, gazing and pointing at a small caravan of what seemed to be Austzelandi government soldiers, quickly approaching the rebel border.

"Hmm..." the captain grumbled, "James! Get that damn rocket thingie up and going; aim at that batch o' trucks down o'er there." he, too, pointed at the caravan.

'James', the soldier manning the K136 Kooryong prepared to fire multiple rockets. He slapped the console a few times - how damn old that thing was - and got the rocket launcher running.

"Tell me when to fire!" yelled James over the sound of the truck starting up.

Seconds passed, it seemed as if time froze. Maybe minutes. They didn't know. The caravan came in closer; most likely 1/4 of a mile within range...

12/08/2014 - 4:51 PM Local Time - Near Serkala, 4th Ground Division - 8th Recon Batallion - New Austzeland Ground Forces

The soldiers of the 8th RB trekked through the hilly terrain that was near Serkala, the primary city of operations for the rebels. All of them were lightly equipped so that they could move faster, and out of all the 8 soldiers, 6 were armed with their standard issue AK-81 assault rifles, with the medic carrying an AKS-74u and the automatic rifleman carrying his RPK-74M. One of the soldiers carried an RPG-7V2 on his back.

The leader of the team, Sergeant Kuznetsov, ordered his team to halt. "The hell's that noise?" He thought to himself. Soon after, he knew what it was as he looked up into the sky. "SPREAD OUT AND HIT THE DECK! NOW!!" He yelled back to his team. Not even a second after he yelled that, the men of his team spread out while running as fast as they possibly could, and afterwards dropped the ground with their faces down. The explosions replaced the sound of the wind with numerous loud booms, as they hit the ground.

Soon after, the barrage was done. Kuznetsov coughed a bit, and pushed himself back up. "Everybody up? Talk to me!" The soldiers who could spoke up, and said "I'm up." though one said "Shit... SHIT! Man down! Gajic's down!" Gajic was one of the riflemen of the squad. Getting on his feet, Kuznetsov rushed towards where he was, noticing another soldier with blood coming out of his legs. It was Private Volin. "Volin's hit too! What the FUCK is going on?!" Throwing himself to the ground as soon as he came across Gajic, though only to his knees, he asked the medic who was tending to his wounds what his status was. "I checked his pulse. He's KIA." Kuznetsov simply stared to Gajic's body, then to the medic; Corporal Zeman. Ripping Gajic's dog tags from his neck, he spoke again. "Volin's wounded. Follow me." They both rushed over to the wounded team leader as he got on his radio. "Command, this is Karlan 1-1. We just got hit by rocket artillery. One KIA and one wounded. How copy? Over." He got on his knees beside the wounded private. Zeman was already patching up his wounded leg. A voice came over Kuznetsov's radio, though the reception was low quality. "Affi--ati-- Kuzn---v. Awai- furth-- ord---. O--." Though poorly, he could understand what he was trying to say. "HILL! I SEE MOVEMENT!" One of the soldiers said, as he was looking through his binoculars upwards. "Zeman, you got him?" Kuznetsov asked the medic. "Yeah, go deal with whatever you need to. I've handled so many situations like this." Kuznetsov simply stared at the medic. Then he moved to the soldier with his binoculars to his eyes, Private Twerski. "Stay the fuck down, you wanna get shot??" Kuznetsov scolded Twerski. "Give me the binoc's." Forcefully grabbing the pair out of Twerski's hands, he placed the two sights on his eyes and looked at the hill above. He could see the vague objects on the horizon. "Hmm. I see. Stay down for a little bit. I swear to fuck we better have CAS available..."

Keep that shit up and you'll be promoted, Corporal James!" he walked over to the rocket truck and opened the door. "Hey, did you hear me, Corporal?"

"Yes, sir, I did."

"Good - anywhoozers. Gimme those damn binocs." he pointed to a pair of binoculars resting on the truck's dashboard.

"Alrighty - " said James, leaning over to grab the binoculars; he was sitting in the driver's seat. He grabbed them and handed them to the Captain.

"Thanks corporal. Keep it up." he closed the truck door shut and strode to the edge of the hill.

He put the binoculars to his eyes - how blurry they were, the military could've /at least/ given him some good binocs - and spotted some movement in the target location. "Boys!" yelled Tommy.

A loud but drowsy "Yes?" was heard from the soldiers, most half asleep.

"Children, this ain't fuckin' "nap time" or whatever. It's fuckin' war. Wake the fuck up!" yelled the Captain, nearly angry.

Grumbles and whispers of displeasure could be heard, but the cap didn't care. "Now boys, go grab your guns; Mikey, get your sniper ri'fl and be ready to shoot."

12/08/2014 - 5:16 PM Local Time - Somewhere near Serkala, Central New Austzeland Alliance

The 18-man pack of pro-government guerrillas, part of the pro-government paramilitary force known as the Central New Austzeland Alliance, moved through the hills around Serkala. All sorts of weapons were being used by the men, ranging from AK47s, even to M16A2s. Most were armed with either the AK74 or AK47 though. Two had RPG-7V2s on their back, and two had a PKM GPMG. This team was recently assigned with sabotaging numerous areas containing Fourtese rocket artillery pieces, then they would move south to assist the Austzelandi forces in their mission to defend Vybor. Currently, there were scattered teams of guerrillas all over rebel-held territory, some even hidden within the civilian population of the said area. The fighters, being the type of group they are, almost always used guerrilla tactics to fight against their enemy, with hit and run attacks and the like.

"There. I see some artillery pieces straight ahead." Semenov, who used an M16A2, said as he pointed ahead. The leader of the team, Hanak, saw it too along with numerous other guerrillas. "Yup. Exactly what we're looking for." After acknowledging the rather new fighter, he reminded the rest of what they were here for. "Remember brothers, we're here to sabotage and weaken their shit. They have no right to be here, and we'll damn well make sure we mean it when we say that." With that, the fighters moved on towards their next target, which housed an unsuspecting enemy.

"When can we shoot?" The machinegunner, Grabover, asked anxiously. "When I say so, that's when." Grabover continued aiming down the sights of his old but reliable (and powerful) PKM. "Wait... wait..." Hanak said to the line of fighters that stood on the hill overlooking the site. "Now, fire!" An RPG round went off, flying towards one of the vehicles as several bursts of PKM fire erupted. As soon as the vehicles were decommissioned, they would move away from where they were to avoid being detected.

"HOLY FUCK?!?!" screamed the field commander, camping out in a forest nearby their rockets which would be used the next day against Guerrilla pro-government fighters. The squadron jumped out of their tents to see a large ball of fire floating into the sky like a hot air ballon (see image to the right). Each one peeked around the trees and saw multiple fighters standing in the field, one holding an empty RPG.

"Those fuckers..." whispered a Private.

"Indeed, Private, but whining about it won't solve our problem. Men, grab your weaponry." replied the field commander.

Each soldier rushed to the supply chests, each grabbing their Luepolan F1 assault rifles. They threw on their battle gear, strapped ammo on their belts, and crawled into the trees as to gain the height advantage.

Then it all went down. Gunfire exploded from both sides.

The guerrillas watched as the fireball rose up in front of them. Smoke came from the barrel of the RPG that fired the killing shot. "God DAMN. That thing serviced pretty damn easily." One of the men commented. Soon after, a second explosion, most likely coming from the ammunition near it. Suddenly, another fighter spoke up. "I got some enemy movement to our right! Fourtese soldiers!" The figures moving on the hill to their right began popping up one by one. "Fire at them while we fall back! We're movin' to our next target!" Hanak ordered his team. They all began moving while firing, to the next artillery station.

OOC: Short post. Not much else to put here.

Calvisburg, Ontorisa - It was devastating to the democrats, liberals and socialists when the vote came in. Just a few minutes ago, the Superior Council voted on whether to allow a military deployment to New Austzeland and surprisingly, although the opposition had good reasons why not to, the council did not see it.

A council spokesman announced to Kelixsburg International that the Superior Council had passed the proposed resolution by the current government, to intervene in the New Austzeland Civil War, as it is now being called, as a peacekeeping force to evacuate civilians that are living dangerously close to the fighting, especially in the Austzelandi capital city of Danluka.

This was met with a happy reply from the general populace. The soldiers are expected to be deployed to New Austzeland on Monday.

12/08/2014 - 5:12 PM Local Time - Near Serkala, 4th Ground Division - 8th Recon Batallion - New Austzeland Ground Forces

Gunfire erupted from the enemy's end as the soldiers began searching for cover, though used concealment in the meantime. "D'ahh fuck, they're shootin' at us! About five hundred or so meters away! Return fire!" Kuznetsov ordered those who could in his team, to return fire. His PSO scope mounted to his rifle allowed for him to engage targets at somewhat long distances with greater precision. Those who could in the squad also began returning fire, with their sights adjusted to the range of the Fourtese soldiers.

Suddenly, a bullet landed probably not even a centimeter away from Kuznetsov's arm. A sniper had taken a shot - an accurate one, at that; at him. "SNIPER! SNIPER!" He shouted, alerting his comrades. A voice came over his radio once again. "...ou copy? Repea-, a Hind -- avail---- that c-- fly in to supp--- and evac y--r team." He could just barely make out what he was saying. Grabbing his radio, he replied. "uh... yes, affirmative! How long until it'll arrive though? Over!" He continued firing at the enemy position as he waited. "It wil- take a---- thirt- minu--- or so to a--ive, how cop-?" Once again, he could barely make out what he was saying. "God fucking damnit, fine! Just help us!" Kuznetsov pulled the trigger on his rifle, though instead of a bullet coming out, a *CLICK* was heard. "Damnit!" He quickly reloaded his rifle, and began firing again. The RPK-74M began lighting up the position. "Guys, we need to fall back! Fall the FUCK back! Now!!" Kuznetsov ordered his team. Soon after, the squad began falling back. Zeman had the wounded soldier's body around his neck.

I propose that negotiations occur to establish a two state solution where everyone gets what they want. If both sides are willing to negotiate, I will host the negotiations on the DNS Horizon battleship which will serve only as a place for negotiations.

I would be willing to negotiate, but I think I'm the only one here who wants too.
