The Great Crusade (MT) (Open)

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

Emperor Edward I who had recently gained power by manipulating the various branches, and divisions in the military to overthrow parliament approached the podium. Infront of him were foriegn dignitaries, jounalists, news team, and important aristocrats. He began to speak into the microphone "My brothers and sisters we have had to fight hard over the entire history of our people in order to maintain our very existance as a free people, but now our constant fighting has only made us stronger. We had reunited our country form a civil war, we had defeated the Communists that had rebelled against us, and the invaders that tried to help them, but now we are free once again. But we cannot expect this freedom to last unopposed, we have constantly faced threats of invasion, and of being conquered, not by the supposedly evil capitalists, but by the godless communists, we have had to fight them in our civil war, we had faced slaughter at the hands of Tropicarno, but now we will strike back agianst the communist dogs. The Union of Anarchist Workers' Communes as they call themselves are the enemies of all civilized people, they are not only communists, but anarchists, they are the greatest threat to our nation, and they must all be converted into capitalists, or they must all be put to the sword. Death to the communist scum death to all who oppose the empire." The audiance let out a thunderous applause some people were even chanting for him, and for the deaths of the godless communists.

The entire Imperial army has been brought up, as well as all SAS, SBS, and Army Commandos, and the entire Imperial Guards. They will destroy all traces of the scourge known as communism in UAWC, and will make sure that they are never threatened by communists again. As well as the Imperial Army, Imperial Guards, and various special forces the entire Imperial Navy, and Imperial Air Force will support the invasion. All people found in the UAWC will be given two choices join the Anglo-Saxon Empire in their crusade to destroy the godless communists, or face death themselves.

OOC: Please no godmodding, no one liners, and please limit your forces if your population is above 1 billion.

Sergeant Karl Sturm lay in his hammock, drinking from his water flask and cleaning his old AK-47. The sun's rays were warm, and he was smiling. Suddenly, three men ran towards him, carrying state-of-the art battle rifles and in full armor.

"Karl!" It was clear that they were serious as they shouted. "We need to move! Now!"

"Ah?" Tired, he sat up, and loaded a magazine into his rifle. He was relieved to see that the men had the hammer and sickle stitched onto their shoulder armor, and then looked up at their faces, reassuring him that these were friends. "I was about to have my nap. Why do we need to move?"

"We've received word that the Anglo-Saxon Empire wants to invade!" The men looked panicky, and one checked to be sure his rifle was loaded.

"What, that insurgency they've been dealing with finally took hold of the government?" Karl yawned casually.

"Yes! We need to move, Karl!"

"Wow. I thought that country was smarter than that. Oh, well." Karl got to his feet, and walked inside his small, cozy house, leaving the door open so the others could follow. He equips himself, putting on his armor. He hangs his AK on the wall and picks up his new FPMS-3. He loads it, and then chugs down the rest of his water, emptying the flask. "Okay, let's move. Everyone else knows, right? What about the Navy?"

"They're already on full alert," says one of the men. "Armed and ready for combat."

"Why do capitalists always resort to violence to solve their problems?" Karl sighs. "Well, let's go. No use dawdling. It's too bad, we were actually kinda friendly with those guys before this whole coup business."

He slings his assault rifle over his shoulder, and follows the men to the base.

The invasion (known as "case red") was started when several F-35s, supported by F-07s began their attack on UAWC's anti-air defences, due to their stealth capabilities the Unionites (correct me if I am wrong) would not be able to know there were even enemy planes in the air until the bombs started falling, immediately after the first strike all B-52s began to bomb any major city, with A-10s bombing air fields, and military bases. Following the first strike hundreds of F-07s offered protection to C-130s, and transport helicopters as they dropped over 10,000 special forces into UAWC. Within the first few hours the strikes cost the Anglo-Saxon Empire 3 B-52s, 45 A-10s, 1 C-130, 23 transport helicopters, and one F-07. The special forces had lost 145 of their men during insertion, and immediately began to hide away from any areas where soldiers might be, using their silenced weapons they would take shots at civilians, soldiers, and vehicles.

OOC: Isn't that kinda godmodding? You're pretty much deciding arbitrarily that your forces were able to get in at all, and then drop bombs on my "major cities" (I don't have major cities, I have villages, each with a population of 250 or under) and then you're deciding all losses for yourself.

It has come to the kingdom's attention that you will lead an attack against the inferior nation of UWAC; an outspoken supporter of the both dangerous ideologies of anarchism and communism, so it is with pride and honour both his royal highness the king and the kingdom and her realms are willing to support you in this most noble of endeavours with the support of an entire army both as a fellow member of the CLIM and as a fellow monarchy. what we do however wish is that some of the captured land will be handed to the Imerian crown to be another realm in our glorious kingdom. if you however wish that our forces will not be involved in this conflict will we of course back down.

From: Emperor Edward I
To: Lord Edward auf stjärnhelm of the Royal Foreign relation advisory.
Regarding: Civilizing of UWAC

We would be more than willing to accept the help of the kingdom of Imeriata, and will gladly give you a portion of the land according to what you contribute. We are glad to see that other nations can recognize the threat posed by Communism, and Anarchism. We hope that after this conflict we will be able to have improved relations with the kingdom of Imeriata.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

The invasion (known as "case red") was to be based off of speed, and firepower. The attack was to be opened up with F-35s supported by F-07s both stealth planes attacking all SAM locations they could find. Immediately after the initial attack A-10s were to bomb all airfields, and military bases while B-52s bombed the closest things to cities that the UAWC had. Finally after the bulk of anti-air resistance was defeated F-07s, were to protect special forces while they landed into the UAWC. Once arriving on UAWC soil the special forces were to hide anywhere they could, and were to engage any human that wasn't from the military of the Anglo-Saxon Empire, or one of its allies. All people men and women, children and adults, soldiers and civilians were to be killed or captured, if captured they were to be offered a chance to help the invasion force if they refused they would be killed.

OOC: I hope this is good enough for UAWC if it is not I will change what you request. I tried to insinuate that the attack had not even happened yet, and these were merely the plans.

[Uawc]

William sat alone in his room, the lights dim. Glancing at his shotgun, he was reminiscing on all of the war he's fought. One particular memory shone like a bloody sun in his mind - looking into the eyes of a horrified enemy soldier, then screaming in terror and pulling the trigger, tearing the man's head into several bloodied chunks. Deciding he does not want to experience that again, or indeed, that he does not want anyone to go through this, he takes out a piece of paper from his desk, and an old quill pen.

To: Emperor Edward I
From: The people of the UAWC

Dear Emperor Edward:

My name is William Timothy Shabangu, and I'm a soldier for the Union Armed Forces. I've fought in every conflict the Union has been involved in, in the past decade. I've seen my men, my brothers, kill and be killed in front of my eyes. I've seen my best friend, Steve Wu, step on a land mine and turn into a fine pink powder. Please, I beg you to reconsider. Isn't there enough death in the world as it is?

Sincerely,

William T Shabangu

William does not notice the teardrops that stain the paper below his signature. He encloses the letter in an envelope, writes the TO and FROM addresses, and leaves his house to find the nearest mailbox.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

David Johnston was sifting through the mail directed specifically to the Emperor, reading those that he had permission to, and sending the ones he didn't onward for review by higher ranking officials. After finishing his reading a letter about the Emperor's recent purchase of a new slave, which he sent to the emperor's secretary, he picked up one from a man named William. After reading it he did feel bad, and actually felt like passing it on to the emperor. Unfortunately he knew he would be punished for sending "junk mail" to the emperor and wasting his time, so he reluctantly tossed it out, continuing on with his job.

[Empire of Symphonia]

Imperial Senate Building, Symphony, Symphonia
The Holy Emporer of Symphonia, Micheal Kiramashi, sat in a golden, vaulted throne at the end of a soaring hall, watching the commotion in the seats below him. The recent invasion of a nearby country had caused some concern the Imperial Symphonian Senate. The Senate had gathered to decide what to do and today was the deciding moment. Turning to his right, Micheal nodded to the secretary. The secretary then pulled at a switch that dimmed the lights.

"The debate on the Union-Anglo-Saxon Question begins now. Please return to your seats," the secretary said into a microphone at his desk.

After several minutes of waiting and moving of papers, the secretary looked at the moniter on his desk. A flash on the screen from where the Senator of Latinum sat alerted him.

"George von Britannia, Senator of Latinum, has taken the stand," the secreatary said.

An old man in a black suit stood up in the front row. He walked up to a podium just below where Micheal sat and faced the Senate.

"We all know that war is something the Holy Empire isn't good at. Our Empire has always been forced to withdrawl from all of them or face huge amounts of damage. We have been faced with a war with Verzia, a civil war where nuclear weapons were exchanged, and a conflict at prevent a total revolution in Falkonia," the senator said in a loud voice,"Now we are on the brink of war in a country we have only just realized was near to our own. And we are going to face off with a possible nation that may invade our own nation. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not prepared for war and we must never go to war."

A buzzer sounded, ending the old senator's turn to speak. The secretary then said:
"Euphemia Kiramashi, 23th Crown Princess, has taken the stand."

A teen girl in a long white dress walked up to the podium.

"Honorable leaders and representatives of the Imperial Senate, we have been faced with a question that can be easily answered. A nation near our borders has been attacked and invaded by another, only for the reason that the said nation is a communist one," Euphemia said in a strong voice," We have been faced with conflicts before and have proved to be very adept at settling them in our terms. True, the Verzian-Symphonian War utterly ruined the Deterias Region. However, we forced Verzia into stalemate when we destroyed cities across their entire country."
Euphemia paused for a moment before speaking again.
"The Symphonian Civil War brought devastation to the Homeland, where entire cities were laided waste. Celestar, the great port city of the Southlands, was hit by a nuclear missile, so was Symphony and Skyview. However, us and our great alliance with Groko and the Libertarian Governance brought the Heretic Emporer Suzaku Numenor to justice. We forced the House of Numenor to surrender and pay for the pain and sorrow brought acroos the land."
(pause)
"Now we stand in position that will oversee the suvival or destruction of a nation. Are we cold enough to ignore the pain and sorrow of those people, or are we human enough to come to their aid and stop this conflict before it really begins? I ask you to think and consider this carefully."

The buzzer sounded, ending Euphemia's speech. The secretary spoke up:
"You have ten minutes to decide before the Holy Emporer makes his desision."

Another screen appeared on the secreatary's moniter, showing the votes of the Imperial Senate.
For: 592
Against: 592

The secretary frowned and whispered into Emporer Micheal's ear. The Emporer nodded and stood up.
"The votes results in a tie," Micheal said," Therefore my vote is the tie-breaker. Our nation will go to war."

As manners go, the senators had been taught to remain polite at all times, so they couldn't yell do anything. The only sound that came back to the Holy Emporer of Symphonia was a roaring applause.

Emperor;

We openly applaud your military action against the communists of the UAWC. As such, we request your permission to join your cause against them. We will be able to provide over 300,000 troops, including support staff, WarSpecOps teams, armor, and air support. We also request a portion of the 'winnings' in return for the service of our armed forces, as well as a trade agreement between our two nations to better our progress in this war and to secure our military alliance.

We will gladly accept your help, and believe that together with the help of Imerita we will destroy the communists in UAWC, and can return what remains of the nation to a righteous capitalist state, divided amongst the three of us of course. We will also gladly agree to a trade agreement, and alliance, and possibly after the fall of UAWC we will be able to move on to other communist nations weakening the power of communism, and possibly wiping it from the face of the earth some day.

Emperor Edward I

"We support Anglo-Saxony in its crusade against the communist scum. These communists must be crushed. We people of Bavungria would love to see this nation crushed in a war. But the only way would be able to send soldiers is if we gain land from this nation after its defeat. If this is possible notify us and we would send 20 thousand troops with heavy artillery and equipment to your aid."
