Brave New World, Same Old Scars (Aeterna Publicae only)

[Vukmire]

With the northern border of Sakhandar well defended the soldiers anticipate an attack, preparing for any sort of attack or move the US could throw at them.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

With all the world in chaos, a descendant of tsarist-supporters living in Volkstrad, Lev Beletsky, sees it as the perfect time to finally publish his magnum opus, a book called "Red Blood." Despite the seemingly mundane title, it makes grand proclamations.

The book declares that the USP, South Audya, Xianlu, and North Kurya are all democidal states, accusing the USP of killing 10 million of its own civilians, and 2 million Sakhandis. It also states that all Alkaevgrad Pact minor states have been responsible for purging their populations, and killing clergy, conservatives/traditionalists, and other right-wingers.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

With over 3 million troops arrayed on the border with Volkstrad, the USP asks Cascadia for their military to aid in invading and holding Northeast Sakhandar.

[Republic Under Specters Grasp]

Aroberto sends his condolence to the Kaiser's family, swearing against whomever begun this chaos.

The government asks to know what evidence exists to the attack, having been attacked by terrorists at a naval facility only weeks ago.

[Communist Volkstrad]

The Stasi manage to crack the cypher on the bloodstained note, reporting it to the world as reading

"The Wolf Cries,
The Union Breaks,
The Empire Falls,
The Cascade is Halted,
All others are casualties.

The Candle is Brighter now, Brighter than Ever Before
The Spectre of Liberty Arises"

With these final words, the full attention of Volkstrad is drawn upon the Republic Under Specter's Grasp, while the DNA and fingerprints of the assassin are being run for final confirmation.

To:USP
From:USR
Encryption:Strong
Details: The USR will help the alkaevist bring the fight to Blackwood under advisement from the Hami herself so long as the territory is returned to the USR itself. The army of roughly 50,000 strong will aid in air strikes on communication systems as well as ground forces directly in the action.

[Pacific Union of Cascadia]

With over 3 million troops arrayed on the border with Volkstrad, the USP asks Cascadia for their military to aid in invading and holding Northeast Sakhandar.

Cascadia quickly responds first with a bomber run escorted by fighters to attack any outposts, and then transporting 40,000 troops by air to the nearest safe area occupied by Soyuza military to start their offfensive.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

The USP responds positively towards this offer from the USR.

It arrays 200,000 troops on the border, lead by 2,000 T-90 tanks, who wait for UM troops to arrive before taking further action.

The USP responds positively towards this offer from the USR.

It arrays 200,000 troops on the border, lead by 2,000 T-90 tanks, who wait for UM troops to arrive before taking further action.

Along with the 45,000 troops scheduled, 35,000 will be joining the force. After a long helicopter trip, 80,000 troops arrive, landing alongside Soyuza troops. They prepare quickly and join in on the Soyuza ranks.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

Across the border, the USP begins with an opening barrage, using BM-30 Smerch multiple rocket launchers and Scud-D ballistic missiles to bombard the area.

[Togeria]

From the south of the Blackwood-Sakhandi border a much smaller force of 25,000 troops. Though smaller they are well armed having been armed by the Togerian army the ground soldiers equipped with TRS-1(Based on the Beretta ARX 160), 12 Kaiser V tanks, and a squadron of Remus V's to back up the operation along with long distance artillery to back the troops.

[Republic Under Specters Grasp]

Test results show negative as a South American. Results show for a more European descent, but fingerprints do link back to one of hundreds of men whom had defected a decade ago with a rogue general, Enrin Kulstar. The only others akin to him are 12 deceased men who had defected as well, around the same time. The weapon was a Judge revolver, a non government issued weapon, only available to civilians and law enforcement. The ID number has been filed off though.

[Vukmire]

Blackwood, finding themselves out flanked and manuvered by the enemy orders a full tactical retreat out of the country, not able to supply the logistics and the soldiers to meet the enemy head on.

The Stasi begin to make use of their entire network, using all of their resources to attempt to learn all they can about this rogue general and his whereabouts.

The USP forces meanwhile stay on their side of the border, reluctant to chase down the enemy.

Instead, the USP locks onto its next target: Uganda. As one of the most anti-LGBT countries in the world, the country is deeply religious, and seems a prime target for the SPA.

Spetznas troops prepare to launch aerial missions to secure airfields in the country, with plans to be deployed from the South Indian Fleet, consisting of two aircraft carriers based in South Audya.

[Togeria]

Many Togerians decide to buy the red book out of interest as sociologist decide to take examine the book more thoroughly, pictures being uploaded and sent to the internet.

In Sakhander the army moves in as they make quick due to take the capital building as they hoist the flag of the USR ontop of it official claiming the east side as their own and the country united. Though the USP did not help directly the people thank them for at least showing this kindness as a letter of thanks is given to them by Hadiyyah who now has returned to administrative duties in the country.

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

Deciding against attacking such a large state for now, the USP decides to address the crimes of Christianity later, and for now locks onto an attractive target: Saudi Arabia.

As a source of international influence with its oil, Saudi Arabia has been able to spread wahhabiism, the worst of jihad-based ideology which has come to plague the USP.

Soyuza troops and supplies are landed in South Audya, and begin to amass on the border with Saudi Arabia. With most of the country covered by desert, Lena declares that "this will be no Sakhandar, since they have nowhere to hide."

[Union of Socialist Puterrepubliks]

Seeing as Saudi Arabia seems so daunting of a target for now, and the inevitable insurgency would last for a long time, the USP targets a more easily pacifiable country: Eritrea.

Hundreds of Scud-D missiles are launched from South Audya across to the country, joined by the Indian Ocean Fleet, which bombards the country with cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

[Vukmire]

The soldiers in Sakhandar soon fly to their military base in Arabia, having it been established long before Sakhandar forces it is well fug in and prepped. A large recruitment drive is pushed, with propaganda showing the USP as a leech and the combined flags of Volkstrad, Vukmire, Togeria, and Badassistan as the combined arm that the leech is sucking.

Enrin Kulstar, possibly in his 50's to 60's now, rose to prominence after orchestration of the Invasion of Brazil and Venezuela, and the main reason why Blackwood resides in the SG today. He was a legitimate general in his time as a general, but for a short time when Aroberto was out of office and he settled in, enstated a compulsory military service for about 1 year in the 90's.

Reports given to the public by the SG show that this may have been what began his downfall. After the compulsory service was revoked, he went on to A: create cancelled plans for a coup on Aroberto, invade every other South American nation, and to, in quote, "Show the Kaiser who runs South America," B: have his push to change all work on genetics into a super soldier project stopped, and C: to fix the world under a candle's light. No recent evidence is available, as no other reports until now have been made till now.

80 MiG-29K hit military targets across Eritrea, while the country is bombarded relentlessly by ballistic missiles.

The capital, Asmara, is subjected to heavy attack from air and sea to keep the enemy in shock, while Spetsnaz forces are landed via Mi-24 to secure the airport.

[Togeria]

The soldiers in Sakhandar soon fly to their military base in Arabia, having it been established long before Sakhandar forces it is well fug in and prepped. A large recruitment drive is pushed, with propaganda showing the USP as a leech and the combined flags of Volkstrad, Vukmire, Togeria, and Badassistan as the combined arm that the leech is sucking.

Most Togerians see this as nothing more the propaganda, but does raise a concern on the viability of Togeria a world power. With many countries in the world showing their military strength the government has a fear of being suspected weak, as much more money is put into the Togerian Naval Force. Believing the best way to counter any threat is with a strong navy, Togeria adopts this as their main policy deciding to amass a stronger, more technologically advanced, and experienced naval force.

Further the term of Falon Mer is coming to and leaving only one real candidate for the position August Farves. He is an avid patriot of the country who holds strong socialist views of the world, his chief policy is picking up on the remnant of the Korean conflict and utilizing Meritism as a containing force against Alkaevism and the growth of the USP. Supporting naval spending while at the same time vowing to use Togeria's superpower status in a way to better bring balance into the world, he presents himself more as the ideal Togerian in modern society energetic, hardworking, and willing to take on any challenge no matter how daunting.

[Vukmire]

Vukmire formally reforms it military and goes on a recruiting drive and buys many weapons from Blackwood in case the USP decides to approach Vukmire.

Volkstrad interrogates its informants, questioning any who may have knowledge of the location of this man.

Nothing. All who would know are dead now. Only report is that he had many of the elite defect with him out of the country, the many scattering after they left, with no report of them afterward. Only real evidence of their possible organisation and location is the hijacked submarine.
