Rioters in Jacobstown


Nova Capile had controlled East Africa for almost a century. During that time, millions of Capileans had migrated there, away from the overcrowded Capilean homeland. And the native population, was, at best, uneasy with this situation. However, due to the modern technology which was flowing freely into the country by the Capilean government, progress was made. Infrastructure and public services were built up, and the African population gradually adjusted to the new lifestyle. As well, the Africans were steadily given more rights and eventually became equal to a standard citizen; the only restrictions placed upon them were: 1, they were not allowed to marry a white Capilean(and vice versa); 2, they were not allowed to immigrate to Nova Capile; and 3, they were not allowed join the armed forces(unless they were in their own, separate units) or posses a firearm.

Everything remained peaceful for a time, and it seemed like the two races might get along. But in Ethiopia, part of the Capilean Colony of Greater Ethiopia(including Ethiopia and Eretria), the natives were especially unruly. The thought they should be truly free, under a democratic government representing the true people of Ethiopia. For years they operated in secret, gathering followers and equipment. And finally, they struck. Using the murder of an elderly black man by a Capilean police officer, they instigated bloody riots in Jacobstown. Using weapons smuggled from the nearby Republic of the Congo, they slaughtered any whites they came upon and fought riot policemen in the streets. In the following weeks, an open revolt against the state began.

The terrorist group known as Free Ethiopia, under Warlord Alem Melech Mekdem, declared a war against the "colonist invaders". Northern and Western provinces went into full revolt and eventually became rebel controlled, whilst adjoining provinces are a bloodbath of fighting. Droves of Africans are flocking to join the rebels, and the latter are having a hard time arming them. Mobs inside cities armed with clubs, bats, rakes, and anything else they can find engage the police in open combat, loot businesses, and rape and murder Capileans they find. It has descended into chaos. Colonial forces, both white and black, are struggling to return the situation to control; right now they are pleading the government to send troops to their aid. Amongst all the bloodshed, many await the international community's response as the death toll mounts.

Sudanese-Ethiopian border, 11.04 pm

2 big military trucks were surrounded by 6 light armored cars. Marshal Serebrov, wearing a white mandarin-collared shirt, got out of the car to meet one of the rebels.
"You are little bit late."
"I had some business to do... did you bring what we asked you?" said the rebel in a thick Ethiopian accent.
"Yes, but we would like to see that... ."
"Oh sure." said he before reaching for his pocket and showing expensive jewelry which he got after robbing an Italian shop in the downtown.
"Shiny and expensive" said the marshal.
"We have more in the truck but give us the weapons first"
"Guys, bring him the guns! Oh and yeah, remember to keep our trade deal a secret."

After the exchange was over, they shook hands and went the opposite directions. Excited and content, the marshal exclaimed:
"Straight from great Rome, brothers!"

Herzogberg, Greater Ethiopia
Fredrik Von Dorf, Colonial Governor-General of Capilean Ethiopia, sifted through the many telegrams and reports piled atop his desk. The entire colony was in a mess. The government had approved for troops to be sent to quell the rebellion, but how many and which units to send were still being debated; the Stoßschutz and Army would likely argue with each other and try to let the honors of victory go to their branches. Fredrik predicted he would not see troops in the ground for months. As such, he had about 80,000 military and riot police, and 118,000 volunteer "colonial defense" units at his disposal. About half of them were African, and their loyalty was questionable. It was looking to be a dismal situation.

The thing he had to do most of all was contain the rebellion. If it spread into the rest of East Africa, the Duchy could be fighting a massive, unwinnable war against its colonial population. The entire empire could be lost. He pushed such abysmal thoughts out of his mind, addressing telegrams from friendly Casselli. It was nice to know that some nations retained sense.
To: The Government of Casselli
From: The Colonial Government of Greater Ethiopia
Greetings friends! We are glad you have decided to help us win this war against the despicable, savage brutes which claim they fight for a "Free Ethiopia". We are also glad you so willingly deployed troops. So far, we only have access to unreliable colonial militia, but we are expecting more help from the government soon.
I am looking forward to collaborating with you in the future.
Sincerely,
-Fredrik Von Dorf, Governor General of Greater Ethiopia

Sighing as he sent the message off, he turned to the gruesome reports of riots in Northern and Western Ethiopia. Those parts were sparsely populated and heavily forested, which gave the rebels an advantage. Frederik had ordered a general retreat from those provinces to better defend the rich center of the country, and he had encouraged the Capilean civilians to leave with the military. Those who had remained apparently suffered a brutal fate. But that only instilled courage in Von Dorf. He and his brave soldiers, white and black, would win this war.

Jacobstown, Northern Ethiopia
Warlord Alem Melech Mekdem smiled to himself as he observed his new capital city. It was small compared to the great cities in the city of the country, but it was his own little paradise. A grand mosque had been constructed in the city square, one of the few places where the road was paved with stone. Beside it stood the new state building, a modest Arabic-style three story building. The first floor was for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Management of the State(the latter combined a lot of different departments such as Health, Agriculture, and Transportation into one); it was rarely busy. The next was the Ministry of War, which was bustling. And finally, on the top floor, was his office and the offices of several other government ministers. Sentries with smuggled automatic rifles, wearing rugged, stolen military fatigues, stood by the entrance to both buildings, and the new flag of the Theocracy of Islamic Ethiopia flew proudly above the state building:

He grinned from ear to ear. This was his nation, a place where the Muslims of his country could drive out the white Christian invaders. He turned to the city's mud brick walls; on pikes, mounted on top of the walls, were the heads of white Capileans. They would pay for their ruthless colonization of his home. He entered the state building, saluting the sentries. After making his way to his office, he noticed a fresh telegram on his desk. It was addressed from over a week ago; he wondered that it had even made it there at all. He read the letter, and spat into a nearby waste bin. Dealing with Jews, his people's chief enemy, would not be easy. But what if was the only way his people could reconquer their lands. He finally wrote a reply in his native language:
To: The Government of Iodinae
From: The Theocracy of Islamic Ethiopia
Greetings. I am hesitant to turn to you, as our religions and peoples have long had feuds. However, I am willing to accept that my armies are not equipped for open warfare with the Imperialists. And so I will work with you to free my people. Know, however, that most of my soldiers and people will have a hard time accepting you as allies, but we must work towards a common goal of freedom. I would like to meet with a representative of your nation in my capital of Jacobstown, as we are now a sovereign nation(being recognized by the Republic of Congo, Pakistan, and several other African and Arab countries). I would also like to open an embassy in your capital and for you to open one in mine, so that better communication can be achieved.
I hope that our two peoples may get along.
Sincerely,
-Warlord Alem Melech Mekdem


After he finished and sent the telegram, he turned to military matters. He was himself Warlord, and thus commander of the army. It was meager, and divided. In the North, there were about 21,000 troops which had been trained somewhat by foreign drill sergeants and were equipped with semi-modern equipment. And there were also about 60,000 mobs of rebels which were armed with improvised melee weapons and sometimes looted weaponry. On the Western side, it was a completely different regime. Although under the same name and technically subordinate to Mekdem, General Bahta Teshome operated virtually independently of him and was rather untrustworthy. Mekdem suspected he had about 15,000 trained and 30,000 "militia" forces. Any way you put it, the army was in a dire state and Mekdem wished to change that.

Later that day, he met with top officials of the government and military to "ratify" their declaration of independence from the Capilean Empire. The Warlord, as soon as the document was signed, went out of the building to meet a crowd of hundreds of civilians and rebels. "Brave Muslims! I am pleased to announce, that we are independent of the racist, imperialist pigs which for so long forced us to remain in their empire! Today, under Allah, we are free!"

As Nova Capile was losing its grip on Ethiopia, the Empire was exerting its influence on the region. They tried to keep their presence a secret but it was a very open secret: swarthy-skinned officers walking around among the African populace and speaking the foreign language stood out. After the prayer, Marshall Gerakaris stood on the Grand Mosque's pulpit to deliver his speech:

"Dear Ethiopian brothers and sisters, we are your friends! We are here to help you against those Capilean colonizers. Your troops have been fighting against their tyranny with our equipment and we can keep helping you but we should keep it a secret. The shipments with anti-aircraft systems will be coming here through Sudan so we will be able to deter their aerial attacks. But you should heed to our advice for we wish the best for you.
Viva e Empire! Viva Ethiopia!"

His speech was followed with a round of applause. The people and their new government were hopeful and happy. After all the years, they have finally achieved their sovereignty!

Imperial assistant : "Sir, the people want us there. Soon they will join our alliance and our influence will spread to Africa."
Emperor: "Great! Keep sending the arms. Soon, we will become a superpower on which the sun will not set."

He hoped he cold win the Revolution as quickly as possible, and unite Norther Ethiopia against the oppressive Capilean forces. He hoped to meet Warlord Alem Melech Mekdem, even though having different Religious views, Ludwig von Moltke hoped they could agree on one thing, and that being the fact the Northern Ethiopia needed to have more freedom.

A Spektronian V-Tol circled around the military base in New Cologne. The V-Tol was large and gray with a Spektronian flag painted across the side of it. As it landed a Capilean major accompanied by a lesser officer and two guards met the landing aircraft. When the ramp of the V-Tol dropped, a man in a crisp,gray military uniform with black boots walked off. The man was about 185 centimeters (or about six feet) tall. He was accompanied by four other men, each in large metal, futuristic, battle suits with their visors blacked out. The four "super soldiers" were about 245 centimeters (or eight feet) tall. Each had Mossberg 590A1 shotguns flung over their shoulders with straps. As the five men continued to walk towards the Capileans, the "super soldiers'" armored boots made loud thumps, while the officer's made a clicking sound. The four "super soldiers" stood at attention as their commander addressed the Capileans. The officer then extended an arm out and straitened his hand, saying, "Heil from Spektronia!" He then lowered his arm. "I am Generalleutnant Marko Kestenbaum of the Spektronian national army, 154th infantry division. I am here under the direct command, authority and permission of Chancellor Adolf Häussler, supreme leader of Spektronia, Generalfeldmarschall Wilfried Heumann of the Spektronian National Army, Head Command Leader Hanna Weiss of the Spektronian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Head Command Leader Victor Dümmler of the Spektronian Board of War and Head Command Leader Louise Schuhbeck of the Spektronian Ministry of Communication. I have been instructed to inform Capilea that three battalions from the 154th infantry division will be dispersed to this region to fight rebel Ethiopian troops, each battalion containing 4,000 soldiers. One battalion will contain only Sturmkorps troopers." He turned around and pointed to the four "super soldiers" 45 V-Tols from the Spektronian air force, 32nd air transport division, 20 Boeing AH-64 Apaches from the 94th air-assault division, from the ground vehicle divisions, 10 M1A1 Abrams tanks from the 11th, 20 BTR-82A's and 50 HMMWV's from the 16th." *He continued to think about the list he had memorized, but came to remember that was all on the list.* "These units will be arriving in approximately two days." *He gave another Nazi salute, and without even letting the Capilean officer respond, he proceeded with his guards back onto the V-Tols and took off.*

Jacobstown, Ethiopia

Hisein Rake stared out of the window of his truck as it rumbled down the crowded city streets of Jacobstown. The sounds of hustle and bustle amongst the people of the city gave off a cheerful atmosphere, one that reminded Hisein of his hometown in Lubeck, although this city was far larger than his town of ten thousand. He was to meet with a man in a tan jacket at the corner of a street coming up in two blocks and hand over the crates in the back of the truck, which contained two hundred SCAR-H battle rifles, over ten thousand 7.62 x 51 mm JHP rounds, and a hundred bulletproof vests. According to military command, his mission for the next few months would be to ferry arms back and forth to the Ethiopian freedom fighters. It didn't seem to be so much about supporting their resistance, as it appeared as someone looking in on government proceedings about the matter. It seemed to be more about kicking an imperialist power in the shins, to him, but that wasn't his problem. He got paid no matter what as long as he kept doing these runs, and that was fine by him.
The truck stopped on the corner, and Hisein dropped out of the driver's seat door onto the hard ground of the busy city street. The man in the jacket gave him the preordained signal, three taps on the side of the truck, followed by a handshake, which was followed up with Hisein's response signal, wiping sweat from his brow. As soon as the rear of the truck was opened, people seemed to briefly mob the truck, unloading crates until the vehicle was empty.
"We'll discuss matters further inside," said the man in the tan jacket in a deep African accent. Somewhat confused, Hisein went along with it. The warehouse they entered was fairly empty, but it was clearly the beginnings of a military depot. One of the men cracked open a crate, drawing out a brand new SCAR-H battle rifle, all set and ready to fire with some ammunition. "While we appreciate the donation of weapons, weapons alone will not win this war. We need men, we need an army. Although our support is growing, it is not enough. We need trained men, and we need experienced troops. Perhaps you could pass word along to your... what was it again?"
"The Speaker, you mean?" inquired Hisein.
"Yes, yes, him. Do find some way to let him know that we need manpower, not just firepower. And call me Chioma Afolayan, I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other fairly often from now on, no?"

5 Imperial Argentine soldiers were sitting in a cafe drinking famous Ethiopian coffee. It has been already a week since the Argentine military mission arrived in Ethiopia.
" This coffee tastes very different than our coffee, I mean... it is stronger" opinionated a soldier.
"Look, it's them again" said another soldier after noticing a Topkekkian truck.
"I wonder what they are trying to get here; they've got their presence in South America, Europe , and now Africa. You know what, I think they have become expansionists." said the first soldier as they continued drinking coffee.

Today alone, three barracks, a main headquarters, and a dirt runways just large enough to take-off and land an F-22, and an armory where constructed. Soldiers where allowed to wander the streets and get to know their new home-away-from home, along as they returned later in the night. Von Moltke also sent three of his most trusted officers to meet the warlord in charge of the rebellion.
Tomorrow, fifteen Boeing C-17 Globemasters will make the back and forth trip from Waldriechian-Tanzinia, land at the local civilian air-strip, and deliver the Tanks, Jeeps, and Semi-Trucks that will deliver supplies to the new air base. Two-hundred fifty F-22s will also land at the the Waldriechian base. The Holy Forces will be ready to courageously defeat the tyrants, and secure a nation for the Ethiopians.

Phyrexus considered his options. Afolayan had stated that more manpower was needed, and this may well be true. He wasn't interested in making friends over there, but it would be very useful for Topkekkian trade if the Capileans were knocked down a peg by a more direct means. If they were removed, and removed quickly, the standard of living for Topkekkians would be increased greatly, if the tarrifs imposed by Nova Capile were imposed in fewer places. Perhaps he could send in a smaller, more powerful force initially. The Crimson Guard would be good for the job, a thousand of Topkekkia's best infantry. With air support, they could very quickly steamroll the Capilean presence; they did have the support of the locals, after all. He picked up the intercom.
"General Blackstone, would you mind coming to my office? I'd like to discuss military strategy with you for a bit." Within moments, the man's rhythmic shoe-clicking could be heard, a very familiar sound, in fact.
"What is it, sir?" asked Blackstone.
"It's Capilean Ethiopia. I'm sure you know of our arms smuggling operations there, but our contact has requested us to take a more direct approach. Rumor has it that the request was passed down from Mekdem himself. What would you say?" replied Maximilian.
"I'd say that we send in the Crimson guard, mostly to train the locals, but also to hit hard where the rebels can't. Air support is a given. If we keep AWACS in the air at all times, we can keep our troops updated constantly, and T-22s would help us assert dominance as well. Cruisers to blockade loyalist ports would also be good, and they could keep friendly troops with a nearby source of heavy firepower, in the form of cruise missiles. Does that sound good?" answered Blackstone. He knew how this was going to end. He was going to wind up sending an expeditionary force, likely one thousand Crimson Guards, an aircraft carrier, and seven cruisers, plus or minus a cruiser.
"Alright then, it's settled. We send a thousand of the Crimson Guard, an aircraft carrier, and ten cruisers as escorts." Damn, thought Blackstone. Off by two.

Jacobstown, Islamic Ethiopia
Alem Melech Mekdem sat in his office on the top level of the state building, staring out of his open double window into Capital Square. People walked about freely, and mingled in the market stalls which crowded around every side of the paved square. Islamic Ethiopian flags fluttered from nearly every building. He turned in his simple office chair to view the row of tall but slim modern houses which would house the Argentinian, Iodinae, and Waldreich embassies. He frowned when he thought of those countries. They had imposed themselves on his newborn country without invitation, even going so far as to construct an airfield on Ethiopian territory.

Rather like the Capilean Imperialist dogs, which had slowly wheedled their way into his home country. He shook his head. If they could train and equip his troops, and even fight alongside them, than it was necessary to free Ethiopia. He turned back to his duties and assed several reports, first on civilian life. Dirt roads were being constructed throughout the northern provinces of his country, and a few ramshackle warehouses and depots for military supplies were coming together as well. However, they were thrown together with scrap metal and parts and looted Capilean items. As well, his government had begun a well-meaning but poorly executed attempt to bring public services to the people. Most of the Capilean power and water sources had either been destroyed in the rioting or by the enemy themselves when they retreated.

Now a few water towers had begun pumping semi-clean water to about half of Ethiopian cities. Power was another issue however. Only his capital, Jacobstown, had power, which was from a field of wind turbines outside the city. The same was true for sewage systems. And postal services were reserved for the military and government, and occasionally well-paying customers. It was in over its head already, trying desperately to deliver mail on time with the horrid infrastructure of the country. Next he turned to military issues.

A certain amount of civil unrest had come about due to the presence of over two hundred thousand foreign forces in the area, and it had spread to the military as well. Murmurings among the men showed that many had no loyalty to Mekdem, and he doubted that over half of his men would stand by him in a crisis. At the front little was happening, except bloody skirmishes which usually ended with Capilean victory. However, in many enemy cities riots plunged them into chaos, and death rates were high among Capilean police and civilians. He had also authorized for Muslim radicals to bomb enemy government and military buildings. Things looked grim now, but they would get better.

A few hours later, as the sun was high in the sky, he climbed into his armored SUV, waited for four guards to cling to the sides, and ordered his driver to go to the new foreign military base near Jacobstown. Less than ten minutes later he saw the cleared, cement compound surrounding the base and stepped out of the car, straightening his itchy black suit. The four honor guards stood behind him, red berets signifying them as the most veteran elite troops the theocracy could offer. He stepped towards the guards in front of the entrance to the compound.
"I am Warlord Alem Melech Mekdem. I have come to speak to your leader."

Herzogberg, Greater Ethiopia
Frederik Von Dorf paced back and forth in his office as he read a telegram from the Stoßschutz Command. He finished the lengthy dispatch and threw it across the room. "Great!" he said aloud. "Now I'll have the god-damn Stoßschutz breathing down my neck for this whole damn war!" His young chief of staff, Anton Rehn, rose from the comfortable leather armchair he had been sitting in and voiced his opinion. "They're not that bad." he ventured meekly. Frederik pulled at his waxed mustache violently and looked up at Rehn in surprise. "Are you kidding me! Those- " He thought to choose his words more carefully"-people, are maniacs. Monarchist fanatics raised from the moment they joined that damned camp f theirs as boys to be killing machines, loyal to no one but the Duke himself. They're why people disappear overnight and never turn up again. And that's just their police. The military units are even worse," he ground out.

"Well, at least the operation's in good hands," Rehn replied sheepishly. Frederik made to nod before looking up in a rage. His colleague was already out of the door. Growling from his throat, he fell back into his leather chair behind the desk. Maybe Rehn was right. If there was somebody who could put down a rebellion, Water Nemetz and his Kaiserreich Korps were the men.

A message from the People's Republic of Topkekkia
To Alem Melech Mekdem
Encryption: High
The government of Topkekkia has recently concluded that aiding your struggle against the Capileans is a course of action that should be taken. Unlike other nations, we'll be blunt about our reasoning: We merely seek to reduce the threat of the Capilean imperialists, and your cause is a means to that end, though we do believe that you do have the best interests of Ethiopia in mind. However, this does not mean we will be unhelpful. Far from it, in fact. We are ready and willing to send a thousand shock troops, ten cruisers, and an aircraft carrier to assist you. In addition, aid can be sent to help build up such things as power, running water, roads, et cetera. We eagerly await your reply.
Signed,
Speaker Maximilian Phyrexus of Topkekkia

Ooc- I am here with the hope to spread our influence and take more land from nova Capile

Buenos Aires

The emperor was very happy. The Ethiopians welcomed them, he has gained more allies, and nova Capile seemed to be plunging into chaos. He authorized the help flotilla with various products to Ethiopia which will be brought there through congo. The Argentine council has sent 5000 imperial soldiers to the new country plus humanitarian aid, like water, meds, toys, and of course, weapons. Diplomatic mission is also going to be opened soon. It was pax Argentina. And the empire was going to help the locals.
