Spektronian Expansion in East Afghanistan [IC/MT/CLOSED]

OOC Thread

Shiyya, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, March Twenty-second, 2016, Thirteen hundred hours.

Naqib (Captain) Husain Akram of Suraqi Arab Army Special Forces- "Yusef. Yusef! استيقظ!"

Raqib awwal (Sergeant Major) Yusef Nazir- "Huh? ماذا؟? What's going on, Husain?"

Husain- "Open your eyes, President Ghani will be here soon, the meeting is going to start."

Areef (Corporal) Iyaad Barakat- "Husain, check the mag in that sniper, I can't remember if I loaded it."

Yusef checks the magazine- "نعم فعلا it's loaded. So I'll just have to wait till Minister Offen gives the signal."

Husain- "Shut up Yusef, here comes the convoy!"

As the three special force soldiers finished up their conversation on inside of an old mosque's tower, a small convoy of black vans and two tan BTR's rounded the corner inside the city. It was a hot, dusty day that could have evaporated a glass of water. This was also the day that the President of Afghanistan would die at the hands of a Suraqi and Spektronian joint Task Force. The convoy pulled into the two story building's parking lot and an escort of security guards in black suits let the President out of his car. Meanwhile, Yusef looked through the adjustable high power scope of the Barrett M82 that was set up on a bi-pod and he fixed his sights on the President.

Husain- "You see Ashraf, yes? Now try to look for the Spektronians on the roof."

Yusef moves the rifle to fix his sights on the roof- "I don't see them yet... They'd better show up in time."

Suddenly, as Yusef fixed his sights on a guard on the roof, the guard fell to his knees, with half his brain splattered out on the concrete surface beneath his feet. But there was no gunshot that could be heard. Suddenly, a man in a desert camo military cap, with the same camo on his uniform arose with a silenced Kriss Vector SMG arose from behind the dead guard's body, followed by other men in the same uniforms with the same weapons.

Yusef- "Sir, I see the Spektronians now, they're getting in position to rappel down onto the balcony."

Husain- "Good. Just in time too. Minister Offen is getting nervous, I can tell. See him sitting there?"

Yusef moves the rifle once more and fixes in with the scope- "Yeah I see him. I'm surprised he even agreed to help us. How come he's not wearing a wire?"

Iyaad- "Couldn't risk him being caught. We'll just have to do with signals. The Spektronians will rappel as soon as the shot is fired."

Husain- "Shut up, both of you. Here comes the President out of the elevator now."

For a few minutes, President Ghani talked with Minister Offen, sitting across from each other in a large, open living room that was on the second story of the concrete building. The room had a wall that was just windows that led out to the balcony, where guards made their rounds, walking back and forth, like they did on the ground. Eventually, Minister Offen tugged on his ear a bit which alerted the Suraqis.

Husain- "Yusef! That's the signal! Shoot that ابن العاهرة and be done with it!"

In an instant, an ear bursting shot was fired from the sniper rifle in Yusef's grasp. Inside the room, a glass pane shattered and a few shouts from guards arose as the President's head exploded onto the couch he sat on. Rapidly, as a response to this, the Spektronians dropped down on their rappelling wires, firing shots off at the guards on the balcony, dropping them one by one as more guards rushed into the building, while Yusef continued to provide covering fire with his sniper.

Minister Offen took cover behind a table as the Spektronians exchanged fire with the Afghans from across the large room, dropping them one by one. By this time, reinforcements began to rush through the door and into the room, only to be sprayed down as soon as they set foot inside.

From an alley, RPG fire struck the BTRs that were parked outside, destroying them, while in the distance, police sirens could be heard. All of a sudden, more Suraqi forces charged out from the alley and took up positions around the building, to combat any police or military that would be coming. Then, Minister Offen and the Spektronians exited the building, with their bodies shielding him as police pulled up and began to fire on the task force. The Spektronians shuffled to get the Minister into an armored Humvee from the Suraqis, then the Suraqis all joined up in their own vans as they made their escape from the city, along with Yusef, Husain and Iyaad.

Tall Kamiya, Disputed Territory in Afghanistan, August Third 2016, Ten hundred hours.

"Well, General Karimi, I'm happy we could put our differences aside to discuss peace terms between our great two peoples. My leader will be very pleased to hear of this." Said a tall Aryan woman in a sleek gray woman's suit as she shook hands with a shorter Middle Eastern man with a dark mustache in a military uniform.

"هو, Leiter eines Hauptamtes Guttenberg. I'm sure he will. Though, I'm not so sure my leader would have been proud of me for bargaining with Imperialists... But all that aside, I must make some effort to end this war, yes?" said the General to the Department Leader.

"Yes... I suppose it's the fate of both our nations-" As the Supreme Department Leader was speaking, she was cut off by a West Afghani Soldier who came rushing in. "Ma'am, there's been an attack by East Afghans on a public broadcasting station in Abu Summam! They are spreading talk of revolution against you, Madam Department Leader!"

Selina gave a sharp glance at the enemy General whom she had just shaken hands with, but then looked back at soldier. "I want the station surrounded and re-captured, now, JaGRaan (Captain)!" She then spun her head back to Karimi. "You liar! You put this together just to distract me! You're lucky I'm letting you leave here today with your head still attached to your shoulders, rat!" She said as she stormed out of the small building.

Ten Minutes Earlier, Abu Summam.

Abdul Vaziri, the leader of the Afghani People's Coalition Against Imperialism, or APCAI for short, known to the Spektronians as a Pro-East Afghani terrorist group, but known to the East Afghans as a militia who fought the Spektronians, just like the East Afghani soldiers did, but used methods that seemed to resemble methods used by terrorists more than anything, took position with his comrades on a cliff over looking the lightly guarded broadcasting station. He, in his Shia Muslim turban and makeshift uniform, turned to around twenty of his followers who also wore similar makeshift uniforms and held their AK-47s tight. Some of the men there, were not even men at all, but young boys, even some as young as 15. "Brothers! We will commence the attack on my signal! Once we take the station, I will record a message and have it played over all transmissions in the area! We will be one step closer to liberating our homeland from these Spektronian imperialist scum!"

After a few minutes, the group had made their way down the cliff and around to the front of the station where they took cover behind rocks. Abdul made eye contact with one of his men, whose face was hidden by a three holed balaclava and who had an RPG in his hands. Abdul raised his arm and swung it down as if giving the order to a firing squad. Then, the man climbed on top of his rock with the RPG and yelled something in Pashto before pulling the trigger and watching the missile launch forward in a sudden burst of force that sent it flying into the entrance to the station, killing several guards and employees inside.

The building itself was not very large, nor was it well guarded, which made it an easy target for the APCAI to hit. The APCAI forces then began to open fire on the West Afghani soldiers who tried to combat them. In a matter of minutes, they had made their way inside and shotgun troops were the first ones to take the lead inside, indiscriminately killing anyone in their way in a burst of death. Once the APCAI had made their way into the broadcasting room, they took two prisoners, the men who's jobs it was to broadcast whatever message they were told to by their government. Abdul had his message of destruction of Spektronia recorded. In the mean time, the Spektronian and West Afghani Colonial flags were lowered off of the roofs and brought into the studio where Abdul burned them on the recording. Cameras were then taken outside as the APCAI flag and the true Afghanistan flag were raised onto the poles. After the message had been aired, Abdul himself slit the throats of the two men whom had been taken prisoner.

Luckily, or unluckily, depending on one's allegiance, the APCAI militia men were able to escape in trucks that they drove to the station in, back over the border into East Afghanistan before the West Afghan troops could catch them, all the way back to Tel Khanadad, where it was considered the APCAI capital because they had the most influence there.

Saturday, August Twentieth, 2016.

In these times, both Spektronia and her colony as well as the persisting East look to foreign powers to aid them in each's fight, either to bring civility to a land that so desperately needed it or to keep Fascist Imperialists from ruining the way of life that these people had enjoyed for so long.

Ecclesiastical Republic of Hastiaka
Office of the National Overseer | 01 Central Avenue, Ciudad Central | Fax: (070) 412 3456




Dearest Generaloberst Selina Guttenberg,

We would like to inform you that the Ecclesiastical Republic of Hastiaka vows to support your rightful position as the true legitimate owner of the Afghanistan territories. The Republic would like to extend it's military and humanitarian support to the immediate casualties of the incoming war. With this, the National Overseer and the National Central Assembly has both decided to send the 11th CIVCOM battalion to your nation as our initial shock troopers. The Hastiakan government believes that if such vast amounts of territories be in control of a radical regime such as East Afghanistan or the radical terrorist group, there will be shock-waves throughout the world about the sheer inhumanities of the future atrocities of these new radical regimes. We pray that your entire nation and your colony will be given the right time to heal in the future.

Sincerely,
Victoriano M. Guzman
Minister of Foreign Affairs

The troops were awoken by a loud siren. General Alfredo Villacruz- the commanding officer of the Northeastern CIVCOM Quarter spoke through the intercom and said to the men; ''CIVCOM militiamen, unfortunately, our national shocktroopers are at a war exercise in Southeastern Hastiaka. The National Overseer has decided to put you as the initial shocktroopers. You will board your cargo planes and leave this island within half an hour. May god be with you.''

Duchy of Turkmen, Kaliya Air Base
Empire of Euro-Germania, German Confederation
Turkmen-West Afghan Border


This remote air base at the edge of the Greater German Realm did not often have so much excitement about it, but then again how could they not now. General von Richtofen had come for secure transport into Spektronian Afghanistan to make plans for the German aid. Everyone was scrambling to get both his transport and escort ready. He would be driving in with a heavy escort of IFV's, Panzergrenadier's, and a small group of Attack Helicopters.

As the hustle and bustle was taking place outside, inside the Commandant's Office, the Baron, recently promoted to General and now a father of two, was on a phone call with a faceless Abwehr Officer back in Germania. "You say this woman I am to be dealing with is the sister of that maniac Florian Guttenburg. The Butcher of Raus. This should be quite interesting, but you say that she is not like her brother. One can but hope." And with that the call ended and the Baron was left to his own thoughts. At least for a couple minutes.

Then a soldier barged in with a look of alarm on his face. "Herr General, we are tracking three unidentified contacts inbound for the border. They are only three miles out. They are closing fast." Now the Baron was up and about as he made his way to the command center. The three blips were indeed closing on the border. Richtofen made some notes of the situation on his own before any of the others could speak.

"Too fast to be ground vehicles yet too slow to be aircraft. Choppers probably. Can we get sat imaging?" Within seconds a live feed of three helicopter gunships popped up. "Hmm Mi-24's old Soviet equipment. No markings or id numbers. Scramble two jets to bring them down and prepare a force to go over and get them. Oh and contact Spektronian Command in Afghanistan to inform them we're sending some jets over their territory. Wouldn't want an incident now would we."




Franz Halder pulled back on the stick a little as he gained some altitude to look for the gunships from above. If they turned on radar they would be detected. Though their Horten-170 Fighters were designed as Stealth Aircraft, the technology was circa 2008. Military installations in the middle of nowhere didn't exactly rank high on the High Command's renovation list. So they were stuck with older planes. That didn't mean they couldn't get the job done.

Just then Franz spotted three shapes moving fast across the plain and smirked. "Come in Base, this is Phantom One, Sighted Bogies. Going in now." This was the part he loved, the thrill of battle. He could feel the rush as he put his plane into a dive aiming for the helo in the center as his 25mm four barrel rotary cannon opened up. The stream of shells sliced through the tail sending the chopper spinning into its comrade on the left. The one on the right kept going but veered West for a few moments before bursting into flames from a stream of shells hitting the main body.

As the three helo's were sent careening to the ground he heard the message going over an open channel.

Code: Select all
Spektronian Air Command in Afghanistan, the German Air Force has two jets currently in your air space. They have just down three unmarked Mi-24 Gunships headed for the border between Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Requesting permission to send team across the border for an extraction.
Proud advocate that Europe stands stronger together than divided. The EU may be flawed in some areas but the idea of a united Europa can only bring good fortune to Europe and the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts. But the idea was all wrong in their minds. Their idea was to bring this territory or that under their flag and spread influence on the continent. The idea they should all have been thinking was that the goal should be to bring the continent under one unified flag.

From: Generaloberst Selina Guttenberg of the Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia and the Spektronian Colony of West Afghanistan

To: Minister Victoriano M. Guzman of the Ecclesiastical Republic of Hastiaka

Encryption: Moderate

Minister Guzman, it is with open arms and a wide smile from cheek to cheek that I happily accept yours and your great nation's most generous offer to aid in the task of conquering and civilizing the Middle East, one stone at a time. The 11th CIVCOM battalion will be expected to arrive at the Neu Fansberg Colonial Afghani Military Airbase, where they can stem from to a region of your choice. Again, thank you very graciously.


Town of Ja'arib Outskirts, New Suraq, a Small Military Outpost

"Dwahom Breedman (Lieutenant) Tariq! Sir! We have a transmission coming in from the German Luftwaffe in Turkmenistan." Said a young man with a mustache in a Colonial Afghani uniform with a wireless headset on. Tariq was sitting at his cubical, inside a small single story tan concrete building inside of an outpost surrounded by a fence with a few wooden guard towers around. "Well, Guttenberg has been expecting word from the Germans... Apparently they're already on their way to Neu Fansberg to meet with the Supreme Department Leader. What does the Luftwaffe want with us?"

"Well, they report that they had downed three unidentified Soviet attack helicopters in our airspace that went down and crashed just near the border in the region." Said the communications officer. "Hmm... Soviet choppers? Could it be the terrorist APCAI dogs? Doesn't matter. I want a secure line with the office of the Supreme Department Leader, now!" Demanded the Dwahom Breedman.

"I'll see what I can do sir." Said the young man as he walked out, only to return a few moments later. "Sir! It's the Supreme Department Leader herself! She wants to hear about this situation immediately!" Tazir then scrambled to stand up and grab the phone from the communications officer.

-Tazir "Madam Supreme Department Leader, this is Dwahom Breedman Awni Tazir of the second battalion in New Suraq."

-Guttenberg "Skip the formalities, Leutnant. I want to hear about the situation."

-Tazir "O-of course, madam Supreme Department Leader. Just a few moments ago, we received a transmission from the Germans asking if they can cross the border into New Suraq to investigate two Soviet Mi-24 Gunships that had been downed in our air space and crashed down by the border. We currently have two German jets in our airspace and they are requesting to send a team over to find out more about the choppers."

Guttenberg "Germans? Germans killed- well... they tried to kill my brother. Whatever. Allow them access, I want a small team to meet up with the Germans. Find out who those gunships belong to."

-Tazir "Yes ma'am!"

Quickly Tazir scurried over across the dirt road along with the communications officer into the communications building where they responded to the Germans on the same open channel. "This is... What's it in German? Ah, this is Leutnant Tazir of the second battalion in New Suraq. Your request to send forces over the border is approved. A small team including myself will be linking up with you at the crash sight."

After the transmission had been broadcast, Tazir and a few of his underlings grabbed a few AK-47s and got into two separate open top military jeeps, when they set off to drive a few kilometers North to the crash sight.

Republic of Ghosnia, Capital City of Daijo
Zinshinyun, Residence of the President of Ghosnia
10:00 PM, Ghosnian Time (UTC+09:00)


It was late, and Hana Yo-Sonn, the President of the Republic of Ghosnia, was about to turn in for the night. She was finishing up some smaller duties at her desk, when her Minister of Defense, Kon Shenhozai, pushed open the mahogany door that divided the President's Office from the hallway. "Madam President," he said, carrying with him a manila folder. "The situation regarding East and West Afghanistan has escalated far beyond our expectations. We've been monitoring the area, and attacks of varying degrees have began to increase in number between Spektronian Affiliated forces and rebel groups." Mr. Shenhozai dropped the manila folder in front of President Sonn so that she may read its contents.

Upon further inspection of the folder's contents, reports from the Ministry of Defense detailed the attacks in Afghanistan one by one: assassinations, raids, attacks on military vehicles, and the like. "I see.." The President muttered as she read through the documents. "Your suggestion, defense minister?" President Sonn's eyes raised from the papers to Mr. Shenhozai, and gave him a questioning look.

"Well, Madam President, as of right now, I believe providing aid to the proper forces is a necessity, but this is of course your call, as Commander-In-Chief."

"I'll issue an official statement regarding the conflict tomorrow. As for right now, I'd like to get some well-deserved rest."

Mr. Shenhozai nodded and left the room in a hurry, knowing the President could be quite irritable without her rest. President Sonn placed the filed in a filing cabinet within the appropriate spot, shut off her computer, and left the office, bound for her bedroom.

Adevia declares war on Spektronia for being a imperalist bastard who seeks to take over everywhere and kill the Afhastanis. We send 20,000 men to invade West Afghanistan. The East Afghasantis also help us by sending another 20,000 men to help out in the war.

President: Mister Secretary, i have been informed of a situation in Afghanistan. It seems that Fascism always finds a way...

Secretary of State:Yes, Mister President, so what is our course of action?

President: I have no wish to fund a militia group that is a borderline terrorist organization, but we cannot help West Afghan and Spektronia. We need to start regular shipments of arms and armor into East Afghan. No tanks or anything large, just Weapons and Armor. (Check OOC for the exact guns and armor specs).

Secretary of State: Shall we deploy Military Forces?

President: Not an army no, but i want Purple Beret instructors deployed. Have them teach the Afghani's how to properly fight, and how to use the weapons supplied. Also, a unit or two of Boer Commando's who have suddenly vacated their post and enlisted with East Afghanistan would be a fortunate even...

Secretary of State: Guns, Armor, Instructors, and Foreign Volunteers. The recipe of a interception in a Colonial war.

Postby The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile » Sun Aug 21, 2016 2:29 pm

Royal Palace, Saxtonberg


Grand Duke Klaus collapsed onto a stiff, high-backed chair on the raised balcony outside of his bedroom. From this commanding view the recently crowned monarch could view not only the winding stone bridge that led to his castle or the surrounding lush pine forest, but glimpses of the sprawling capitol city. Several landmarks loomed out from that mass of jutting skyscrapers and densely packed urban buildings; the Saxtonberg Gate, a hulking arch dedicated to the famed heroes of the Grand Duchy's past and present, was clearly visible above the rest of the city's uninteresting landscape. And Klaus could of course see the hundreds of far off construction workers, milling about like ants, near the outskirts of the metropolis.

Construction had already begun on the monument to the Grand Duchy's greatest leader- the late Hans XVII, Klaus' father. The then Crown Prince had overlooked the plans just days before his coronation. A stone structure to house the deceased man's body, with a colossal statue above depicting the mighty figure in his prime, cape flapping in the breeze, staring out into the future. And pointing. Pointing out at what? A miserable time to come, filled with the juvenile mistakes of his successor, the ridicule and torment of nations that the Grand Duchy could once have stamped out?

Klaus buried his pale face in his hands. He missed his father terribly. Why did he have to leave now, when he had so much left to teach me? No. Why did I let him go without learning! Tilting his eyes upwards, the Grand Duke stared down at the pristine woodland, untouched by the country's all-consuming industries. Birds chirped and frolicked, and the distant sounds of content nature drifted up to him. The moment of serenity was disturbed by the sudden rap of knuckles at Klaus' heavy wooden door. "Come in," the leader said, standing and turning to face the newcomer.

A tall, wiry footman stepped in and held the door open for Kalvin Englebert to step through it. The Minister of Foreign Affairs looked down his long nose at the servant and said, "Leave us." Bowing, the footmen closed the door sharply. The tall but hunched over minister made his way to Klaus, listening to the tap of the servant boy's shoes on the smooth floor. Taking a seat in the chair next to Klaus, Engelbert gazed down at the natural sanctuary for a moment with his ruler. Finally he turned up to face the Grand Duke. Klaus did not meet his gaze.

"Your highness, while I understand your immense grief, you must not remain cooped up here all day. The country needs running." Klaus nodded feebly. He had made lackluster attempts to reorganize the Duchy's disoriented government after his his coronation, but lately had preferred to stay up here in the quiet of his mountain castle than be even ankles deep in the hustle and bustle of Saxtonberg. "I have chosen my ministers, and helped to stabilize all of their organizations." He had kept all of his father's rather elderly cabinet in power, even while knowing that some were unconfident in his abilities or even opposed to him. The General's Staff, or Oberkommando des Reichsmilitär, was even worse; infested with old believers who despised their new ruler and longed for the days when Hans had lead them.

There were a few, like General Nemetz, who, while devout supporters of Hans and the monarchy, had encouraged his successor. "We need more, your grace," the Minister was spouting. "The military has been in chaos for weeks now, since you suspended the OKR. You need to reconvene the high command and either let them do their jobs or replace them. The SM-" he was referring to the Stoßschutzder Militärpolizei, the secretive military police arm of the Stoßschutz "-started their investigations immediately after the mourning period ended, and haven't been able to do anything because you haven't approved their orders! Things.." He paused to collect himself.

"Things are falling apart when they should be coming together," the man finished, his bushy grey eyebrows knitting together. Klaus nodded his head in silent agreement. Still staring at the distant pines, he responded. "You are right. I have not been active enough. Starting tomorrow, I will appear in Saxtonberg early and work to mend this shattered government." Klaus finally turned to face his subordinate. The Minister let a small smile creep onto his face, and slapped Klaus on the back. "That's the spirit! Take charge, my boy. I can tell, you'll be as great a ruler as your father."

The Grand Duke smiled and watched Engelbert leave. When the door snapped shut he withered, sinking back into his chair. An eagle swooped by the balcony, flaunting his impressive wingspan and baying a proud call. He only hoped Engelbert's prediction would come to pass.

Tel Khanad
August 5, 2016, 20:00


The sun had begun its descent below the horizon as the osprey flew through the sky, its twin propellers rotating to facilitate a landing. The rebels had been dissuaded from firing upon it when a pallet of Spektronian reichmarks was tossed out the side on a parachute. The plane landed. Two men exited the vehicle, unphased by the men pointing guns at them and shouting in Pashto. One spoke in crystal clear Pashto. "The name's Markos Psellos. I'm here from... a certain body that would like to see you succeed against the Spektronian horde." The shouting had lessened, but the guns still stayed. "Keep pointing those at me, and I won't replace them with something better."

The news that Section 3 of the MSI had delivered to Alexios Cyrenacius, President of the PRO, was quite interesting. There were so many ways to play this situation. He could side with the rebels against the Spektronians, side with the Afghan government as well as the Spektronians in selling them both arms, side with the Spektronians to improve relations with them, the possibilities were expansive. However, the best course of action seemed to be siding with the rebels. He'd be able to put them in control of West Afghanistan, and then sell to three parties when conflict eventually sparked between East Afghanistan, West Afghanistan, and Spektronia. And with that, Section 6 was ordered to begin preparations for support of the APCAI. War was on the horizon, and he intended for the PRO to benefit from it.

Minister Guzman, it is with open arms and a wide smile from cheek to cheek that I happily accept yours and your great nation's most generous offer to aid in the task of conquering and civilizing the Middle East, one stone at a time. The 11th CIVCOM battalion will be expected to arrive at the Neu Fansberg Colonial Afghani Military Airbase, where they can stem from to a region of your choice. Again, thank you very graciously.


Town of Ja'arib Outskirts, New Suraq, a Small Military Outpost

"Dwahom Breedman (Lieutenant) Tariq! Sir! We have a transmission coming in from the German Luftwaffe in Turkmenistan." Said a young man with a mustache in a Colonial Afghani uniform with a wireless headset on. Tariq was sitting at his cubical, inside a small single story tan concrete building inside of an outpost surrounded by a fence with a few wooden guard towers around. "Well, Guttenberg has been expecting word from the Germans... Apparently they're already on their way to Neu Fansberg to meet with the Supreme Department Leader. What does the Luftwaffe want with us?"

"Well, they report that they had downed three unidentified Soviet attack helicopters in our airspace that went down and crashed just near the border in the region." Said the communications officer. "Hmm... Soviet choppers? Could it be the terrorist APCAI dogs? Doesn't matter. I want a secure line with the office of the Supreme Department Leader, now!" Demanded the Dwahom Breedman.

"I'll see what I can do sir." Said the young man as he walked out, only to return a few moments later. "Sir! It's the Supreme Department Leader herself! She wants to hear about this situation immediately!" Tazir then scrambled to stand up and grab the phone from the communications officer.

-Tazir "Madam Supreme Department Leader, this is Dwahom Breedman Awni Tazir of the second battalion in New Suraq."

-Guttenberg "Skip the formalities, Leutnant. I want to hear about the situation."

-Tazir "O-of course, madam Supreme Department Leader. Just a few moments ago, we received a transmission from the Germans asking if they can cross the border into New Suraq to investigate two Soviet Mi-24 Gunships that had been downed in our air space and crashed down by the border. We currently have two German jets in our airspace and they are requesting to send a team over to find out more about the choppers."

Guttenberg "Germans? Germans killed- well... they tried to kill my brother. Whatever. Allow them access, I want a small team to meet up with the Germans. Find out who those gunships belong to."

-Tazir "Yes ma'am!"

Quickly Tazir scurried over across the dirt road along with the communications officer into the communications building where they responded to the Germans on the same open channel. "This is... What's it in German? Ah, this is Leutnant Tazir of the second battalion in New Suraq. Your request to send forces over the border is approved. A small team including myself will be linking up with you at the crash sight."

After the transmission had been broadcast, Tazir and a few of his underlings grabbed a few AK-47s and got into two separate open top military jeeps, when they set off to drive a few kilometers North to the crash sight.


It only took several minutes before three TPz Fuchs Armored Personnel Carriers were heading across the border towards the crash site at top speed. Due to the difference in distance, the German forces reached the site before the Spektronian's, and deployed a perimeter around the area. These troops conducted themselves as professional's would, cordoning off the area, never lowering their weapons, and allowing the Militarpolizei units to do their work. Hauptmann Johann Volt of the Deutsche Militarpolizei (German Military Police) was surveying the scene of one of the choppers with a frown upon his features. It seemed that the crews had scarpered from the area. His men were photographing the scene though considering the craft were unmarked with any symbols or numbers it was near useless to do so, still procedure must be followed.

Just then one of the guards came forward and saluted. "Herr Hauptmann, vehicles approaching, we believe they are the local Spektronian forces. They appear to be native Afghan's though." Volt growled when he heard that. The Spektronian's spite them by sending natives rather than send their own troops. "Well then I suppose we'll be dealing with the rabble." At least he would be able to lord how much more professionally and impressively he and his men both conducted themselves and appeared. Their uniforms were bound to be more impressive than native troops, and their procedure was sure to be more professional.

Volt looked up when he heard the two jets racing across the sky back towards German airspace.
Proud advocate that Europe stands stronger together than divided. The EU may be flawed in some areas but the idea of a united Europa can only bring good fortune to Europe and the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts. But the idea was all wrong in their minds. Their idea was to bring this territory or that under their flag and spread influence on the continent. The idea they should all have been thinking was that the goal should be to bring the continent under one unified flag.

OOC: Judging from your poorly constructed, three-sentence post, in which you referred to Afghans as "Afghasantis" on multiple occasions, as well as justifying a war goal simply by stating that Spektronia is an "imperalist bastard", which by the way is spelled, "imperialist", and is a completely inappropriate justification for a war, I hardly believe you are qualified to participate in this rp.

Golden Garden, Zinshinyun
1:08 PM, Ghosnian Time


President Sonn ran a hand through her brown hair to straighten it and tugged at the folds of her red dress coat. She let out a small huff and began a stride out of the glass double doors into the garden, two uniformed soldiers following her. As the door opened, cameras began to snap pictures with a bright flash and a light applause erupted from the adjacent seated crowd. President Sonn stepped up to the podium, the two guards standing at either side. Her speech was being recorded and broadcast on multiple news networks throughout Ghosnia.

"Today, as we speak, a situation is developing in Afghanistan between rebellious forces and the nation of Spektronia. For long while, the Spektronian government has exercised control over West Afghanistan. Resistance forces located in East Afghanistan have engaged Spektronian forces in multiple guerrilla attacks and firefights over the past months. In the interest of world peace, we condemn the actions of Spektronia in Afghanistan, and express that Spektronian control of the nation and their attempt to fully control it is in their own interest and risking the freedom of the people of Afghanistan. Ghosnia will provide proper aid to East Afghanistan as needed."

Multiple reporters and press officials stood, gripping their notepads and microphones and shouting questions rapidly. "Madam President! What kind of aid will Ghosnia provide?" President Sonn looked to the reporter and responded "Ghosnia will provide ammunition and equipment aid to East Afghan forces as needed." More questions were shouted at the President, and she raised her hand. "That is all for now." President Sonn turned and entered back into the Zinshinyun, her guards following. The Minister of Defense met up with President Sonn as she walked in the hallway. "Madam President, we've gathered additional information on the situation." President Sonn did not turn her head to look at the Defense Minister. "I will hold a meeting in 20 minutes, be ready."

Imperial Palace, Toad Town
Currently, Regent Vince and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Kandi Sandi were having a quick meeting with the Minister of Defense quietly observing.
Kandi had a map of Afghanistan laid out on the table and it was divided into known zones of control/occupation. He pointed to the Spektronian area and said "Sir, as you may already known, the Spektronian government has been aggressively expanding into the middle-eastern country of Afghanistan for some time now. However, while the immediate situation is not directly relevant to our own national interests, it is rapidly developing and I fear that we may soon have to participate as well. As you can see, they have been rather successful so far, managing to successfully occupy what looks to be roughly half of the nation."

Vince nodded as he processed this information. While Spektronia was not a threat to the NMK, it was not in either the national interest nor his own personal interests that they become even more powerful and gain even more territory. In prior experiences with their personnel and government he had seen that they were far from the nicest country they knew and he held somewhat of a grudge against them due to this. However, he could not directly oppose their cause as they had friendly relations with multiple other allies of the NMK.

He thought about what his opening action should be before ultimately deciding on it. He said back to the Minister "Hm, this does indeed create a tricky situation. I think we should stay officially neutral for now, we can always pick a side later. However, in order to plan our next move I would like to see how the Capilean government plans to handle the situation. If they decide to be neutral then we can likely ignore this but we should also be ready for in case we do have to get involved."
He then turned to the Minister of Defense and said: 'As for you my good Minister, I would like you to first take us to DEFCON 4 while contacting the Minister of Intelligence to see if we have any assets / contacts in the area. I imagine additional information would be very valuable.'

Greetings, I am sending you this message today because as I'm sure you're aware, there is a rapidly developing situation involving the aggresive expansion of Spektronia into Afghanistan. While our official stance at the present time is neutrality, before we plan and decide our next move the Regent would like to know what plans/reaction your Government has in mind. Additionally, our government is wondering how the new Grand Duke is fitting into his role as the leader and absolute monarch of the country. Both he and I hope that he's doing well. Goodbye for now.

However, at this time we are declaring neutrality and do not intend to take any action in favour of either side. Should the situation change however, it is possible that we will decide who to support. We encourage and recommend that all parties avoid needless destruction and disruption to civiilans while treeting as many people as possible in a humane way. Any Mushroomian citizens that have not already exited the country or closely neighboring regions should do so at their earliest convenience. That will be all.

Neu Fansberg Colonial Airbase
11th CIVCOM Battalion | Operation False Freedom



After a long flight from Airbase Raphael, the 11th CIVCOM Battalion finally arrived at Colonial Afghanistan. Lieutenant-Colonel Johnathan Cuevas led the troops as they exited their aircraft one-by-one. Their mission was simple, to free the West Afghans of what is truly false freedom. Their first task was to para-drop alongside the incoming 17th Mechanized Brigade into Al Wabuk. There, the Hastiakan Security Forces will pound enemy defenses and try to rat out APCAI terrorists hiding and blending with the populace. General Arthur Rodriguez has written a letter to the Minister of War and to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to allow the deployment of entire HSF divisions into the sovereign territories of Spektronia.

''Lieutenant-Colonel Cuevas, I have already sent a message to the War and Foreign Ministries, I have also urged Ka Felicio, the prime aide of Ka Ejercito to urge the National Overseer to ask the Spektronians to allow us to send and deploy entire divisions. The Ministry of Religious Affairs has sent a delegation of Christian evangelists to your location. Brother Fernando Lacierda will lead the evangelical workers. We will work to Christianize and civilize this Muslim-majority country.'' said General Rodriguez thru his satellite phone. Cuevas was in the cockpit of the last of the newly-arrived aircraft, speaking to his commander. ''Good General. the 11th CIVCOM will storm the region of Al Wabuk and obliterate any non-allied forces that poses lethal implicatons.''

Central Administration
Ministry of War | Operation False Freedom




The Central Administration was in complete chaos. Thousands of workers and staff were running back and forth- submitting three hundred tonnes of tax reports, surveys, damage reports, resignations, applications etc. The entire gated capital was in chaos. Recently, a minuscule anti-government protest by West Afghanistan sympathizers were held just outside the city gates. Their leader, Al-fashaad Marawi used to be implicated in various Muslim insurrections in the Philippines. The Capitol CIVCOM managed to stop their 300-strong rally, with Marawi chanting to stop the ''worsening imperialist desires of the Hastiakan false democracy''. The spokesperson of the Central Administration has strongly denied and had warned Marawi to stop or face severe implications.

At the Ministry of War situated in a Victorian mansion, Minister Alfredo Duterte has received the letter of General Rodriguez. After reading the said letter, Duterte forwarded to the Spektronian government a message.

HASTIAKAN MINISTRY OF WAR | BRIEF COMMUNIQUE



Dear Generaloberst Selina Guttenberg,

We are requesting to deploy several Hastiakan Security Force divisions into your nation. We recognize your sovereignty, because of that, we will accept any decision regarding our formal request.

Thank you,

Royal Palace, Saxtonberg


"Your majesty," Kalvin Engelbert said while bowing low in front of the Grand Duke, "I bring urgent news. Spektronian Afghanistan is in chaos. It seems our allies are expanding into their neighbors, and the Muslims are fighting back like dogs." Klaus looked towards his Foreign Minister, not really taking in what he was saying. The Grand Duke sat on the majestic throne his father had ruled from, and it did not feel right. He glanced over at the smaller, gilded velvet chair that sat off to his right. That was where he should be sitting, silent and observant, whilst his father ruled the nation from this grand seat. Now Klaus' own son, Hans XVIII, sat there; the larger chair to his left was still inhabited by the Queen Mother, Madeline II. His poor mother.

"Your grace, I must urge you to make a decision," Engelbert said, shuffling about on the thick carpeted floor. "Yes," Klaus said vaguely. "Why of course we must support our allies. Draw the High Command to my war room; we shall discuss the matter there." The Foreign Minister hesitated, finally nodded, and then bowed and trotted off. The Grand Duke watched him go, not really caring much about whatever was happening in Afghanistan.


Klaus looked from one tense general to the next, shifting uneasily in the hard metal chair. "Mein Herzog," Helmut Winser began, "I advise you to be cautious in deploying troops to Afghanistan. We do not want another debacle to lower your public support." Winser was the Marshal of Nova Capile, the most coveted position in all of the Duchy, and the most important. As Marshal Winser replaced the late Hans as Commander in Chief of the OKR, although Klaus still had a ceremonial position and had to approve all of the plans and actions made by his commanders. "Nonsense!" Field Marshal Wilhelm Krebs interrupted, banging his fist down on the metal table.

"We must rip into the Afghan lines with a strong armored force, and help the Spektronians slaughter them! It is what the late Grand Duke would have done!" Klaus watched the two bickering generals as he shrunk back into the chair, carefully weighing his options. Krebs broke off the argument, glowering at his rival as he straightened his uniform. "Mein Herzog," he continued, "the choice is yours." Klaus cleared his throat. "Well, we could incorporate both strategies. We will at first provide aid to our allies- but, if the Afghans prove to be troublesome, then a strong task force will be deployed." The two men glanced at each other haughtily but bowed to their monarch, silently agreeing with him.

Jumping to his feet, the Grand Duke waited for his subordinates to do the same before returning their salutes and leaving the room.
"At least they're arguing with themselves instead of me," he thought.

New Suraq

As the two tan jeeps filled with four Afghan Colonial Soldiers in each jeep tore up the dusty off road terrain beneath their tires, the roar of their engines became quite clear to the Germans on the sight of the downed gunships. When they pulled up, they came to a screeching stop as the troops in their metal helmets and tan bullet proof vests followed Tazir up to the guards on the perimeter. Unlike his troops, Tazir wore a black beret and no vest and had an M9 holstered on his utility belt, instead of the AK-47s, M16 Rifles and the one RPD his men had.

Just as he was about to run through his skills in German in his head, his train of thought was interrupted by the roar of another engine, this one of a gray jeep, larger than usual, probably due to the size of Spektronian troops, with a Spektronian flag painted on either side of it. On it's top, an Afghan Colonial soldier manning a mounted MG-74, and in the driver's seat, another Afghan Colonial Soldier in a military cap and sunglasses. But out of the passenger seat, came a Spektronian National Soldier in a desert camo uniform, different than the Afghans uniforms and a red beret with a USP on his side. He was roughly seven feet tall, as were almost all National Spektronian Army Soldiers due to the intense hormones and other various mystery substances pumped into their food, but limited their lives to about forty years, when most would die of heart attack.

As the Spektronian walked towards the other Afghans, they all lined up and saluted with their arms up, pointing outward like the Roman's did, including Tazir who stood at the end of the line. When the Spektronian reached them, he paced back and forth in front of them, inspecting the troops with his arms behind his back. He spoke in Pashto to Tazir briefly.

Spektronian- "You are the Dwahom Breedman?"

Tazir- "Yes sir! Dwahom Breedman Awni Tazir of the Second Colonial Battalion of New Suraq."

Spektronian- "Stabsfeldwebel Reinhold Henschel, or how would it be said in Pashto... Ah yes, Breedmal e KanDak. Now, you may hold a higher rank than I in your army, but I am Spektronian."

Tazir- "Y-yes sir, of course. I will be sure to remember that."

Henschel- "Good. That's all. At ease, Leutnant."

Upon Henschel's words, the men returned back to following Tazir and now Henschel. When Henschel approached the perimeter guards he smiled and went back to speaking German. "Heil. I am Stabsfeldwebel Reinhold Henschel of the Spektronian National Army. I've been sent by Gebietsleiter (Area Leader) Carl Lang, the head of the New Suraq Region to monitor the situation here."

Vesta, the Capital of Spektronia

Chancellor Adolf Häussler, the current leader of the whole of Spektronia and her colonies was scheduled to make an appearance on SNN (Spektronian News Network), the leading news network in Spektronia. While a private organization, it was heavily endorsed by the government and administration because it often put out opinions in favor of the 'regime.' The Chancellor was going to be interviewed on the situation developing in Afghanistan by one of the SNN's most popular journalists, Sophia Hepner.

Sophia- "Welcome back to the Hepner Report, I'm Sophia Hepner. Today we have our very own Chancellor Häussler here with us tonight to give us some input on the situation in Afghanistan. Mr. Chancellor, go ahead."

Adolf- "Well, Sophia, let me first start off by saying that I'm honored to be on the Hepner Report. I love your show, by the way."

Sophia- "Well, Mr. Chancellor I'm more than honored to have you. Now, from your point of view, could you give a fair assessment of the situation in Afghanistan?"

Adolf- "Yes, of course. Since January, 2016 Spektronia has made massive efforts to increase our influence in Afghanistan, but the stubborn man that he was, President Ghani, he refused to even open a Spektronian Embassy in Afghanistan. I only met with him once and he had nothing but hateful words to speak to me. The exact context of our conversation is confidential I'm afraid. But talk of Al-Qaeda coming back as well as other Islamic extremist groups was spoken of. Radical Islam is a huge threat. What I feared is that these groups, whom had been wiped out in the past would become too powerful and Afghanistan would become an Islamic extremist state. March twenty-second, Suraqi Special forces assassinated President Ghani, which threw the country into further disorganization. At this point, we were basically required to step in at this point. We made a push from the West and all the way to the enemy capital at one point, but we were pushed back. Now we're in a... stand off. We own roughly half the nation and so does General Karimi, the new president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. We're currently fighting over three separate regions within Afghanistan, but no real progress is being made by either side."

Sophia- "And what of the recent eye's caught by the international community, like Ghosnia, the NMK, Germany and Hastiaka?"

Adolf- "Well, Sophia, later today, I'm planning on making an international announcement addressing Ghosnia as an enemy of Spektronia and her colonies. It's not an official declaration of war, but more of a warning. Anyone who supports the East or the APCAI will be labeled as our enemy. As for the NMK, I can see why they have proclaimed themselves neutral until further notice, but I do believe they will end up supporting our efforts. We have good relations with Germany I believe they will come through for us. Hastiaka... I must say I'm rather surprised that this nation, whom we've had none or barely any contact with would be so eager to jump in on our behalf. But, I must say that we are all very grateful for their aid."

Sophia- "And, have we gotten any word from the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile?"

Adolf- "No, not yet. But I have been working to nudge Grand Duke Klaus in the right direction of ruling his nation. As I'm sure everyone is aware, I was recently there with my son and a few other officials on a state meeting, and for a short time, nobody back home knew where I was. We were actually attacked by terrorists, but we managed to get out with everyone safe."

Sophia- "There's been some info gathered that you are trying to push Grand Duke Klaus in the direction of a less authoritarian regime, is this true?"

Adolf- "That is true. I mean, look at the plentiful bounty of civil freedoms we enjoy here in Spektronia. I want the Capilean people to get a taste of some freedom. I think the Grand Duke feels similarly."

Sophia- "Back to the situation in Afghanistan, what do you think of the Afghani People's Coalition Against Imperialism?"

Adolf- "Ha! What do I think of them? They are no better than Al-Qaeda, DAESH, Al-Nusra, Boko Haram or any other savage cult of sub human Muslim extremists. They are merely using our invasion as an excuse to increase their terrorist activities. In fact, they branched off from the Taliban and Al-Qaeda."

Sophia- "And what is your plan to deal with the APCAI?"

Adolf- "Well, I've given Leiter eines Hauptamtes Guttenberg detailed strategic plans that I want to be carried out. Not really anything I can say to the public, I'm afraid, but our plan is there and we will execute it."

Sophia- "Alright, well thank you so much Chancellor Häussler, for being here with us today. I hope you come on again soon."

Adolf- "Thank you Sophia. Just know that I watch your show almost every day."

Sophia- "Haha, well I'm honored. Up next, the author of Nelson Mandela, the Terrorist that Got Away With it, Stefan Wassermann, up next, when we come back."

City of Shadan, Tall Kamiya Region, disputed territory

For now, twenty days after the failed meeting between Selina Guttenberg and Sher Mohammad Karimi, East Afghan and West Afghan forces have been fighting each other within the streets of Shadan, the Spektronians trying to push the Afghans out, while the Afghans try to push further into the city. As of now, the city halfway belonged to the West and Halfway belonged to the East. Locals had recently joined up with the APCAI and were carrying out suicide bombings on Spektronian positions as well as other attacks.

During the cover of night, under the orders of General Karimi himself, whilst the fighting still went on in center of the city, a small squadron of East Afghans, lead by Breedmal e KanDak (Sargent Major) Yusri Bashir was to meet with a Sheikh from the APCAI. Outside of a cellar in a small rundown alley, the East Afghans found their meeting place. Outside, in the entrance of the alley way stood two men in their makeshift uniforms with AK-47s and Keffiyehs covering their faces.

Without a single word, the two men from the APCAI motioned for the squad to enter the alley way, where more APCAI soldiers were loitering, either having weapons and ammo lied out on cloths or talking to one another. The alley became rather quiet as Bashir and his squad made their way down the dirty alley way, with the APCAI militants shooting them dirty looks. At the end of the alley was a cellar door that was guarded by two more APCAI men with RPDs who opened the cellar doors for the troops. Once they had made it to the bottom of the stairs, they opened another set of doors to reveal a bustling underground complex with around fifteen or twenty rooms filled with all sorts of APCAI militants. The place looked more like a Middle Eastern club than a terrorist hide out.

A woman in an Al-Amira approached the squad. "You must be the ones that Sheikh Akter was expecting?" Bashir nodded and she gestured him to follow her further into the complex. Eventually they came upon a room in the back that was adorned in the finest decor and rugs. On the other end sat an old man with a kalansuwa wrapped on his head. "Come in, Breedmal e KanDak. I am Sheikh Tahlaal Akter." Bashir cautiously entered the room while his men stayed back.

Bashir- "Pleasure. Breedmal e KanDak Yusri Bashir."

Akter- "As you have been informed by your superiors, we have devised a plan to turn the tide of the battle in the favor of the East's."

Bashir- "Well what is it?"

Akter- "Patience, boy. Let me talk, I am old. Now, there is a complex of apartments to the North, that is not being fought over because either side has deployed too many mines in that area for anyone to go near. We recently got our hands on some Colonial uniforms that your men are going to wear when you cross through those apartments."

Bashir- "But what if we trigger the mines?"

Akter- "We have been dealing with the mines for some time now. Most have been disarmed and removed, but some still remain active."

Bashir- "Fine. We'll see what we can do."

Akter- "Good. Once through that area you will proceed to the city hall, where an unidentified Spektronian, officer commands the battle from. You will find a way into his office and plant charges, then you will wait till he is in his office and you will set off the charges."

Bashir- "Got it."

Akter- "Good. Go get your gear."

Spektronia wrote:New Suraq

As the two tan jeeps filled with four Afghan Colonial Soldiers in each jeep tore up the dusty off road terrain beneath their tires, the roar of their engines became quite clear to the Germans on the sight of the downed gunships. When they pulled up, they came to a screeching stop as the troops in their metal helmets and tan bullet proof vests followed Tazir up to the guards on the perimeter. Unlike his troops, Tazir wore a black beret and no vest and had an M9 holstered on his utility belt, instead of the AK-47s, M16 Rifles and the one RPD his men had.

Just as he was about to run through his skills in German in his head, his train of thought was interrupted by the roar of another engine, this one of a gray jeep, larger than usual, probably due to the size of Spektronian troops, with a Spektronian flag painted on either side of it. On it's top, an Afghan Colonial soldier manning a mounted MG-74, and in the driver's seat, another Afghan Colonial Soldier in a military cap and sunglasses. But out of the passenger seat, came a Spektronian National Soldier in a desert camo uniform, different than the Afghans uniforms and a red beret with a USP on his side. He was roughly seven feet tall, as were almost all National Spektronian Army Soldiers due to the intense hormones and other various mystery substances pumped into their food, but limited their lives to about forty years, when most would die of heart attack.

As the Spektronian walked towards the other Afghans, they all lined up and saluted with their arms up, pointing outward like the Roman's did, including Tazir who stood at the end of the line. When the Spektronian reached them, he paced back and forth in front of them, inspecting the troops with his arms behind his back. He spoke in Pashto to Tazir briefly.

Spektronian- "You are the Dwahom Breedman?"

Tazir- "Yes sir! Dwahom Breedman Awni Tazir of the Second Colonial Battalion of New Suraq."

Spektronian- "Stabsfeldwebel Reinhold Henschel, or how would it be said in Pashto... Ah yes, Breedmal e KanDak. Now, you may hold a higher rank than I in your army, but I am Spektronian."

Tazir- "Y-yes sir, of course. I will be sure to remember that."

Henschel- "Good. That's all. At ease, Leutnant."

Upon Henschel's words, the men returned back to following Tazir and now Henschel. When Henschel approached the perimeter guards he smiled and went back to speaking German. "Heil. I am Stabsfeldwebel Reinhold Henschel of the Spektronian National Army. I've been sent by Gebietsleiter (Area Leader) Carl Lang, the head of the New Suraq Region to monitor the situation here."

Vesta, the Capital of Spektronia

Chancellor Adolf Häussler, the current leader of the whole of Spektronia and her colonies was scheduled to make an appearance on SNN (Spektronian News Network), the leading news network in Spektronia. While a private organization, it was heavily endorsed by the government and administration because it often put out opinions in favor of the 'regime.' The Chancellor was going to be interviewed on the situation developing in Afghanistan by one of the SNN's most popular journalists, Sophia Hepner.

Sophia- "Welcome back to the Hepner Report, I'm Sophia Hepner. Today we have our very own Chancellor Häussler here with us tonight to give us some input on the situation in Afghanistan. Mr. Chancellor, go ahead."

Adolf- "Well, Sophia, let me first start off by saying that I'm honored to be on the Hepner Report. I love your show, by the way."

Sophia- "Well, Mr. Chancellor I'm more than honored to have you. Now, from your point of view, could you give a fair assessment of the situation in Afghanistan?"

Adolf- "Yes, of course. Since January, 2016 Spektronia has made massive efforts to increase our influence in Afghanistan, but the stubborn man that he was, President Ghani, he refused to even open a Spektronian Embassy in Afghanistan. I only met with him once and he had nothing but hateful words to speak to me. The exact context of our conversation is confidential I'm afraid. But talk of Al-Qaeda coming back as well as other Islamic extremist groups was spoken of. Radical Islam is a huge threat. What I feared is that these groups, whom had been wiped out in the past would become too powerful and Afghanistan would become an Islamic extremist state. March twenty-second, Suraqi Special forces assassinated President Ghani, which threw the country into further disorganization. At this point, we were basically required to step in at this point. We made a push from the West and all the way to the enemy capital at one point, but we were pushed back. Now we're in a... stand off. We own roughly half the nation and so does General Karimi, the new president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. We're currently fighting over three separate regions within Afghanistan, but no real progress is being made by either side."

Sophia- "And what of the recent eye's caught by the international community, like Ghosnia, the NMK, Germany and Hastiaka?"

Adolf- "Well, Sophia, later today, I'm planning on making an international announcement addressing Ghosnia as an enemy of Spektronia and her colonies. It's not an official declaration of war, but more of a warning. Anyone who supports the East or the APCAI will be labeled as our enemy. As for the NMK, I can see why they have proclaimed themselves neutral until further notice, but I do believe they will end up supporting our efforts. We have good relations with Germany I believe they will come through for us. Hastiaka... I must say I'm rather surprised that this nation, whom we've had none or barely any contact with would be so eager to jump in on our behalf. But, I must say that we are all very grateful for their aid."

Sophia- "And, have we gotten any word from the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile?"

Adolf- "No, not yet. But I have been working to nudge Grand Duke Klaus in the right direction of ruling his nation. As I'm sure everyone is aware, I was recently there with my son and a few other officials on a state meeting, and for a short time, nobody back home knew where I was. We were actually attacked by terrorists, but we managed to get out with everyone safe."

Sophia- "There's been some info gathered that you are trying to push Grand Duke Klaus in the direction of a less authoritarian regime, is this true?"

Adolf- "That is true. I mean, look at the plentiful bounty of civil freedoms we enjoy here in Spektronia. I want the Capilean people to get a taste of some freedom. I think the Grand Duke feels similarly."

Sophia- "Back to the situation in Afghanistan, what do you think of the Afghani People's Coalition Against Imperialism?"

Adolf- "Ha! What do I think of them? They are no better than Al-Qaeda, DAESH, Al-Nusra, Boko Haram or any other savage cult of sub human Muslim extremists. They are merely using our invasion as an excuse to increase their terrorist activities. In fact, they branched off from the Taliban and Al-Qaeda."

Sophia- "And what is your plan to deal with the APCAI?"

Adolf- "Well, I've given Leiter eines Hauptamtes Guttenberg detailed strategic plans that I want to be carried out. Not really anything I can say to the public, I'm afraid, but our plan is there and we will execute it."

Sophia- "Alright, well thank you so much Chancellor Häussler, for being here with us today. I hope you come on again soon."

Adolf- "Thank you Sophia. Just know that I watch your show almost every day."

Sophia- "Haha, well I'm honored. Up next, the author of Nelson Mandela, the Terrorist that Got Away With it, Stefan Wassermann, up next, when we come back."

City of Shadan, Tall Kamiya Region, disputed territory

For now, twenty days after the failed meeting between Selina Guttenberg and Sher Mohammad Karimi, East Afghan and West Afghan forces have been fighting each other within the streets of Shadan, the Spektronians trying to push the Afghans out, while the Afghans try to push further into the city. As of now, the city halfway belonged to the West and Halfway belonged to the East. Locals had recently joined up with the APCAI and were carrying out suicide bombings on Spektronian positions as well as other attacks.

During the cover of night, under the orders of General Karimi himself, whilst the fighting still went on in center of the city, a small squadron of East Afghans, lead by Breedmal e KanDak (Sargent Major) Yusri Bashir was to meet with a Sheikh from the APCAI. Outside of a cellar in a small rundown alley, the East Afghans found their meeting place. Outside, in the entrance of the alley way stood two men in their makeshift uniforms with AK-47s and Keffiyehs covering their faces.

Without a single word, the two men from the APCAI motioned for the squad to enter the alley way, where more APCAI soldiers were loitering, either having weapons and ammo lied out on cloths or talking to one another. The alley became rather quiet as Bashir and his squad made their way down the dirty alley way, with the APCAI militants shooting them dirty looks. At the end of the alley was a cellar door that was guarded by two more APCAI men with RPDs who opened the cellar doors for the troops. Once they had made it to the bottom of the stairs, they opened another set of doors to reveal a bustling underground complex with around fifteen or twenty rooms filled with all sorts of APCAI militants. The place looked more like a Middle Eastern club than a terrorist hide out.

A woman in an Al-Amira approached the squad. "You must be the ones that Sheikh Akter was expecting?" Bashir nodded and she gestured him to follow her further into the complex. Eventually they came upon a room in the back that was adorned in the finest decor and rugs. On the other end sat an old man with a kalansuwa wrapped on his head. "Come in, Breedmal e KanDak. I am Sheikh Tahlaal Akter." Bashir cautiously entered the room while his men stayed back.

Bashir- "Pleasure. Breedmal e KanDak Yusri Bashir."

Akter- "As you have been informed by your superiors, we have devised a plan to turn the tide of the battle in the favor of the East's."

Bashir- "Well what is it?"

Akter- "Patience, boy. Let me talk, I am old. Now, there is a complex of apartments to the North, that is not being fought over because either side has deployed too many mines in that area for anyone to go near. We recently got our hands on some Colonial uniforms that your men are going to wear when you cross through those apartments."

Bashir- "But what if we trigger the mines?"

Akter- "We have been dealing with the mines for some time now. Most have been disarmed and removed, but some still remain active."

Bashir- "Fine. We'll see what we can do."

Akter- "Good. Once through that area you will proceed to the city hall, where an unidentified Spektronian, officer commands the battle from. You will find a way into his office and plant charges, then you will wait till he is in his office and you will set off the charges."

Bashir- "Got it."

Akter- "Good. Go get your gear."

AN OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SUPREME FASCIST DICTATORSHIP OF SPEKTRONIA

Subject: Regarding Ghosnia and the colonization of Afghanistan by Spektronia.

A warning, to all Ghosnian personnel that would seek to aid East Afghan forces. Any Ghosnian armed forces members will be shot upon entry into West Afghanistan. Your Presidential speech regarding military equipment and aid for the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will not be tolerated and has labeled you and your nation enemies of Spektronia. THIS IS NOT A DECLARATION OF WAR, but merely a warning to Ghosnia and all who would seek to undermine Spektronian colonization of Afghanistan.

-Chancellor Adolf Häussler of the Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia.

These people hold onto their faith very tightly.



The Hauptmann did a similar salute for his part. The standard military salute coupled with the phrase "Für den Kaiser und Vaterland" before gesturing for the man to follow him over to the wreckage. "Now Herr Stabsfeldwebel, we have been thoroughly inspecting the craft and no identifying markers or even serial numbers could be found. Our first working theory that this was left over Soviet equipment from their invasion in the 80's was ruined by that. It would be impossible to get rid of every serial number." He walked around one of the downed gunships pointing out the weaponry. "They carried the standard armament nothing special there."

Then he took the man aside so they wouldn't be overheard. "Now off the record, this is the third gunship flight we've recorded in as many days but this one came close enough to the border to intervene. We've already got Islamic radicals in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. We don't need the East Afghan's supporting them. Especially if they can send equipment that can actually hurt us. Gunships is one thing, the possibility of armored vehicles is another."

Meanwhile several of the German guards were being a bit threatening towards the Afghan troops out of paranoia. Their H&KG39's looked a fair more threatening than AK-47's. One, a Sergeant walked up to Tazir with a glare. "Not planning to blast us all are you, eh?" This man was a grizzled soldier with one eye snapped shut from a long scar and a light beard. "I was in Russia during the First Invasion in 86, even they didn't resort to what the news has told coming out of this rat hole."
Proud advocate that Europe stands stronger together than divided. The EU may be flawed in some areas but the idea of a united Europa can only bring good fortune to Europe and the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts. But the idea was all wrong in their minds. Their idea was to bring this territory or that under their flag and spread influence on the continent. The idea they should all have been thinking was that the goal should be to bring the continent under one unified flag.

Royal Palace, Saxtonberg


Grand Duke Klaus was pleasantly surprised to see a fresh envelope lying on his wide mahogany desk as he entered his office. Collapsing into the comfortable armchair behind it, he grabbed a gilded letter opener and tore open the envelope. Yet another wonderful surprise. The New Mushroom Kingdom had contacted him. Klaus unfolded the letter and squinted at the neat handwriting. After thoroughly reading the dispatch, the Grand Duke set it down and leaned back in his chair, smiling. It was very fine for the Regent and the Foreign Minister, whom Klaus vaguely remembered from their few encounters, to contact him and ask him how he was settling in. Such a gentlemanly thing that the monarch would write a personal response.

Taking out a sheet of high-quality, preprinted paper that was embossed with the seal of the Grand Duchy, Klaus began penning his response. He spent a while on it, choosing his words carefully so he wouldn't have to restart. Finally, after rereading his work for the third time, the Grand Duke sealed it in an envelope and stamped that, before tossing it the the front of his desk. Now for the harder letter. Drawing out another sheet and carefully sliding it into an antique typewriter, Klaus began mentally constructing his message to Adolf. Cracking his knuckles, he sighed and leaned forward, fingers splaying out to their usual positions on the device.

The click-clack of typing filled the silence for several minutes, with long pauses; unfortunately the typewriter had no "delete" key. Satisfied, the Grand Duke pulled the piece of paper out of the machine and glossed it over. It seemed formal enough. He folded it up to, packaged it in an envelope, stamped that, and placed his finished communique on top of his letter to Kandi Sandi. A sharp rap on the door. "Come in!" Klaus called, leaning back into his seat. Marshal Winser appeared in the doorway. He bowed, saluted, and then closed the door behind himself. "I am glad you are here!" the Grand Duke said, standing as Winser approached. "Have the mobilization orders gone out yet?" "Yes, Mein Herzog." The Marshal of Nova Capile took a deep breath before continuing.

"I still think you are going about this the wrong way. Trying replicate the headstrong strategies of your father will not always be the way to victory. You must find your own-" he broke off as Klaus raised his hand. The Grand Duke's smile had faded, replaced by a scowl that brought out the wrinkles on his forehead. "I am not replicating anything of my father's." Helmut Winser stared straight at his commander, though his eyes became sunken and frightened, like an animal cornered by its most vicious predator. His features remained stern, however, and he stood straight, his peaked cap tucked under his arm. "I am creating my own strategies." Klaus' eyes scanned the room, his face getting worked up, and his voice steadily rising. "I-" "Of course, mein Herzog," Winser said, bowing and leaving the room before his leader could respond.

Thank you kindly for writing me. To answer your questions, whilst the past few weeks have been hectic, and while my family and I have been devastated by the loss of Hans, I have settled in somewhat and have begun to reorganize the government.
As for Spektronia, while official support will be stated, the Grand Duchy will not commit troops to the conflict unless it gets out of hand. I see no need to waste Capilean lives fighting for another Spektronian colony, although I whole-heartedly support their campaign against radical Islam.

First let me congratulate you on your successes so far against the barbarians in Afghanistan. It overjoys me to see the radical muslims defeated, and that is why I write to you. The Capilean army has just recently demobilized, and is still recovering from losses in Ethiopia and other conflicts. This is why, unfortunately, I cannot yet assemble a force to help you crush the enemy.

However, I can guarantee our economic and political support, and rest assured that if somehow the Muslims began to win this war, I will commit troops to help you destroy them.

OOC: Major crisis in the works but won't actually come to fruition. No actual nukes were used in the making of this post nor will any be used. This is merely a carefully meticulous cyber attack.


Shadan

"I've always hated the heat. This is not exactly my preferred vacation after being broken out of a maximum security prison in the middle of the North Sea." Complained a tall, blond man in his late thirties. He was dressed in a sandy trenchcoat, combat boots, and black sunglasses. He was also sitting at a table typing away on a laptop computer. Lines of code were flowing across the screen, occasionally coming back in red but also sometimes in blue. Across from this man, a twenty-one year old in a white suit, black tie, and sunglasses whom shared similar physical features, scoffed.

"Well Alexander, you were the Commander of all the Wehrmacht under a tyrant for more than a decade so lets not complain." The younger scolded his elder brother.

"Says the one who wants me to send out an artificial Nuclear threat. Hacking three separate, highly secure Strategic Network's at the same time isn't as easy as it looks Manfred. It took me an hour just to get through the firewalls without setting off alarms. Now I'm setting the stage. The German, Spektronian, and Capilean Strategic Commands should think that their quote allies unquote are launching a salvo of warheads at them. Each will believe the other two have fired at them. It won't be enough to convince them into launching actual missiles, but it will keep them distracted for your purposes. What are your purposes little brother?"

The younger brother, Manfred, smirked as he sipped at his coffee. How strange to see two men so calm in what was practically a war zone. "Coming through Tajikistan now is a very large convoy of equipment and arms for the fighters here. Russian equipment. The first of many shipments. An encoded message was sent earlier today telling the whatever its called group to pick them up at twenty-three hundred hours at a point twelve miles from the border." Now the elder was intrigued. He inquired as to the exact load of this shipment.

"Well I've got about two dozen former Adlerfaust Operatives escorting it and staying to help train them in using the weapons. But around three hundred small arms not including light explosives like grenades and mines, sixteen mortars, and one heavy field gun. I was planning on sending vehicles but border security is too tight to manage it. The next shipment in one week is another matter."

Just then Alexander's program was finished. "Shall I send it then?" And with a smirk, the program deployed..........

Peenemünde, Germany

Generalleutnant Karl Dornberger, Commander of both the German Nuclear Arsenal and Space Program, was having a wonderful day so far. His son Ludwig was home on leave from the Kaiserliche Marine for a week, he had gotten a full nine hours sleep, and no paperwork greeted him when he arrived at his desk that morning. It was a rare sight indeed and thus here he was, sipping at his coffee, happily relaxed in his environment.

Then his aide Hauptmann Metsker barged in looking panicked. "Herr General! Our system is showing launches aimed at the German Empire! All across it!" Dornberger was up so fast his coffee cup fell to the floor and shattered.

"Well who the hell is firing!?" The aide took a moment of hesitation before answering. "We don't know for sure but it looks to be the Spektronian's and Capilean's! Shall we respond?"

Dornberger was no longer relaxed, the fate of an empire of billions rested on his shoulders. If he chose to fire and the threat was false, he could put Germany in hot water and wipe out half of Spektronia and Capile respectively. If he did not fire and the threat was real, well chances were he wouldn't live to see the consequences.

Ultimately he made a decision. "Hold fire until we have absolute confirmation that this threat is real. I'm talking the Kaiser coming on to announce a war."

For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts.

Royal Palace Saxtomberg


Grand Duke Klaus I sat in the fine plush velvet chair behind his office desk in a crimson smoking jacket. A crystal decanter sat on the mahogany desk, filled with fine red wine. The Duke held a slender champagne glass in his hand and he lifted it to his lips, sighing as the liquid rolled down his throat. "That's quality," he said to himself. The sound of heavy footsteps outside. An incident; someone had hurt themselves, and a servant was coming to alert him. Klaus cleared his throat and looked towards the double door of his elaborate office, adopting an indifferent expression. Instead of a tall footman, Helmut Winser burst through the doors, chest heaving and face red.

He bowed and ran up to Klaus' desk. "Mein.. Herzog.." He stopped to pant, clutching at his chest. "The Spektronians.. And Germans. Have betrayed us!" He slumped forward, hands catching onto the large desk. Two officers of the Royal Guard suddenly trooped in. "Mein Herzog! Come with us!" They sprinted towards Klaus, grabbed him, and lifted him out of his chair. The Grand Duke was frogmarched out of his office and down several staircases, until they found themselves on the first level of the underground portions of the palace. The three men, followed by Winser, wound through crowded hallways until they came to a secluded room with an elevator. One of the officers took out a key and plugged it into a nearby slot; the elevator's metal doors swung open.

The Grand Duke was hustled into the elevator and waited for what must have been five minutes before the elevator ground to a halt. It opened into a concrete room; the air was stuffy, and blinding artificial light emanated from overhead panels. A portly officer sat behind a small square table in front of them, two guards to his side. All three stood and saluted when they saw Klaus, and they were allowed to proceed. The subsequent hallways were empty, except for a few stoic sentries. Finally the group came to a reinforced metal door. The same officer produced a keycard, and shortly afterward the door opened.


"Mein Herzog," Winser began, "We have been informed by our excellent intelligence services that Spektronia and the German Reich both have mobilized their entire nuclear arsenals and have them pointed at us!" Klaus' eyes bulged. "We.. You are our commander. You give the orders." The Grand Duke's jaw fell open. He glanced from one general to the next; all looked frightened. There was silence for the next few minutes, except for the hum of the light above them. "Do what Hans would do," the Grand Duke thought. Finally, he responded. "Send messages to the governments of both countries; just try to figure out what caused this." He hesitated before continuing. "Tell General Fletcher to ready all of our warheads; inform major government officials to get to their vaults, but do not inform the civilian populace.

"Perhaps combined they have more missiles, but we can certainly promise Mutual Assured Destruction."

Network Operations Center, [REDACTED]
At least up until now, it was a regular, boring day at the NMK's primary Network Operations Center. This location was responsible for overseeing both the internal networks of the Government, but also high-level monitoring of all network traffic passing through the NMK's geographical jurisdiction - while they lacked the compute capacity to analyse every packet, they did have the capability of detecting when something was so unusual and abnormal that it was obviously cause for alarm. Information Security was one of the top priorities of the government - much internal data needed to be hidden from the world at large, and would have substantial impact on national security were it ever to leave the government intranet. As such, the government employed multiple tools to keep it's network secure: Multiple firewalls, Intrusion Detection & Prevention systems, specially harderned and secure operating systems (mostly open-source ones to ease security-related testing and verification), strict and regular usage of anti-malware software, constant and in-depth monitoring and analysis.

With the move to DEFCON 4, everyone was slightly on-edge, being unwary of the current international situtation. Their primary concern was not nuclear or millitary: MAD makes the former unlikely and the latter is not presently likely. However, a cyberattack definitely was possible and it would be the worst-case scenario for these people. Therefore, when one of the senior network analysts recieved a notification of some highly unusual / unlikely network traffic that had recently occured. Inspecting the captured data in a more-detailed manner revealed a number of things:
    1. The source address in the IP header was in roughly the same area as Afghanistan. The ongoing conflict meant that it would be rather pointless to dig further in this regard - a number of things would likely be in chaos/flux so public databases would provide inaccurate information.
    2. There was liberal usage of high-quality encryption. This meant a full analysis of the information in a reasonable timeframe would be impossible unless a quantum computer appeared out of nowhere to use for running Shor's algorithm.
    3. From the information/metadata that could be obtained, it didn't match any known software product or even any known network protocols and it seemed that there were multiple destinations, and it looked like each one got slightly different data than the others. After looking up the destination IP addresses in the WHOIS database it was revealed that they had been assigned to the governments of Germany, Spektronia and Nova Capile respectively.
After quickly writing a report containing this information, he decided that this is likely above his pay grade and referred it to his supervisor. Eventually, the following internal email message was sent

---EMAIL---
To: moi@intelligence.gov.mush
From: networkoperations@internal.gov.mush
Title: Possible Cyberattack of some unknown kind?
Attachment: NetworkReport.pdf
I'm going to make this quick because it's urgent: this document suggests that a cyberattack of some kind may be occuring or have already occured on some of our friendly nations. What's your opinion, sir?

The good Minister was very surprised and shocked and decided to immediately forward this to the Regent. He also instructed Network Operations to take immediate action to stop them from becoming the next target.
The Regent was just as surprised as he was, and composed the following bulk/broadcast message:

Due to some unexpected events and the current heightened state of readiness, we're going to apply all outstanding security updates now instead of during the scheduled maintenance window. As such, all systems with affected updates will reboot in 5 minutes so they will take effect. Please save you work and sorry for the disruption.
(five minutes pass, because in the heat of the moment someone forgot to use the time command)

Situation Room, Zinshinyun, Daijo
Suited men and women rushed through the corridors of the lower levels within the Zinshinyun Administration Building, carrying papers stacked in their arms, briefcases, and the like. The suited staff members and uniformed army generals flooded into the door of the 5,525 square foot situation room single file, all taking their seats at or standing around the long rounded wood table. President Sonn entered the room shortly after, and took a seat the the far end of the table. Everyone fell silent and fixed their gaze upon the President, awaiting her debriefing. Sonn took a sip of a bottled Coca-Cola and set it beside her before speaking. "As you all know, or will now know, the Spektronian Chancellor, Mr. Adolf Häussler, has issued a statement on Spektronian National Television and to us personally, stating that any armed forces members of the Ghosnian Army will be shot upon entry to West Afghanistan." She slurped another wash of Coke and continued.

"They have not declared war. This is a mere warning. However, I will not let intimidation tactics deter me, unlike my predecessors. Imperialism will not be tolerated amongst any state, large or small." Sonn grabbed a remote and raised it, clicking a power button. A large screen at the opposite end of the room flickered on, showing a detailed political map of Afghanistan, divided by Spektronian and Non-Spektronian areas. "Western Afghanistan is a larger portion of controlled area. Our current objective is to provide support to East Afghan fighting groups. Spektronian forces are more well-equipped and have a larger government backing. However," Sonn paused for a moment to review her decision, then went through with her thought. "If it comes down to it, I will order a mobilization of the Air Force. But, not yet. For now, we're raising to DEFCON 4. Tighten all security networks, mark encryption to Moderate or High, and get our intelligence on the clock. All possible information regarding Spektronian forces is to be intercepted."

Everyone in the room nodded sternly in agreement to the orders. "Get on it, meeting adjourned." The uniformed staff stood up and began exiting the room, conversing amongst each other. President Sonn met with up Secretary of National Security, Chao Lufing "Mr. Lufing, we're going to the Department of National Security Headquarters ASAP." Mr. Lufing nodded "Yes Ma'am." The two exited the situation room and made their way up to the Zinshinyun Garage, where a black BMW M3 Presidential Variant was awaiting, Sonn and Lufing climbed into the rear leather seats and shut their doors. "Hanger One." was all the President had to say. Hanger One was the location where all aircraft belonging to the President of Ghosnia was stored and heavily guarded in an undisclosed location. The driver began the trek, exiting the garage and out onto the street. Normally, the Presidential Car would be marked, but in this instance, it was unmarked, as to not draw attention.

Hanger One, [REDACTED]
Within twenty-six minutes, the car arrived at Hanger One, where the President's personal helicopter awaited, fueled and ready. The Presidential Chopper, formally called "Junshi One", or Army One, is an AW101 chopper painted fully white with yellow accents, or in some cases fully yellow, with the Ghosnian Coat of Arms and the words ”还和狗 大 狗怎样“ or "Republic of Ghosnia" in English, written on it. In some cases, the chopper may be fully black with no insignia. President Sonn and Secretary Lufing both climbed into the chopper as a soldier stood at attention. They closed the door and took a seat in the comfy individual chairs. The intercom sparked to life in the cabin "Lifting off in 5 Mrs. President."

Vesta, National Intelligence Agency, Nuclear Intelligence Division Headquarters, Spektronia

"I don't know... Mexican? Just get me like a steak fajita or something- Hang on I gotta go." Said Direktor Raimund Tannen, head of the Nuclear Intelligence division. The Nuclear Intelligence Division, or NID was tasked with simply gathering info on all things regarding nuclear weapons in the national and international community for Spektronia. Direktor Tannen was interrupted while ordering lunch by one of his intelligence officers barging into his office.

Tannen- "What the hell are you doing, coming in without knocking, I ought to-"

Intelligence Officer- "Switches pulled in Vesta, Kaldrof, Lindle, Reinhard City, Aldas, Costenz, Hausenhaup, Prausville, Hetzerode, Fansberg, Hinst, Vasten, Krausnik City, Schtetzle, Dras Island, Reint and Verga!"

Tannen- "What!? Who launched the warheads!?"

Intelligence Officer- "Believed to be Germany and Nova Capile."

Tannen- "I'll contact the Chancellor immediately."

Tannen quickly went for a phone that was hung up on the wall behind him. The phone was encased in a container that said "USE ONLY IN THE CASE OF A NUCLEAR EMERGENCY" Tannen used a special key to open the box and picked up the phone. After a few seconds the Chancellor had picked up.

Adolf- "Direktor what's the emergency?"

Tannen- "The Grand Duchy of Nova Capile and the Unified German Reich are believed to have launched nuclear warheads against us in a coordinated attempt to wipe us off the map. Targets include Vesta, Kaldrof, Lindle, Reinhard City, Aldas, Costenz, Hausenhaup, Prausville, Hetzerode, Fansberg, Hinst, Vasten, Krausnik City, Schtetzle, Dras Island, Reint and Verga. Spektronian Colonies are also endangered. Chile, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Togo-"

Adolf- " I get it! How in the hell could they do such a thing!? We are allies!?"

Tannen- "What's the call sir!?"

Adolf- "How long till the warheads arrive?"

Tannen- "Uh... We don't know sir. Our scanners have only picked up the warheads and have projected their trajectory."

Adolf- "We need confirmed eyes on those missiles... I'll get in contact with the SNSD (Spektronian National Space Department) when I get to the fallout bunker. We're not going to make a fuss with the people before we have eyes on these warheads."

Tannen- "Alright sir. I'll meet you there."

The city of Vesta was in a valley like region, surrounded by the Rebeck mountains on every side of the city. On top of this, within the valley, the elevation was extremely low. Sort of like a land dam, where on one side of the mountains, the ground was much higher up that on the other side. This allowed for ample protection from invasion into Vesta, since the only ways in our out of the city was either by air or through the tunnels built into the mountains. An ingenious design was also built into the mountains, what the locals liked to call, the 'roof.' The roof consisted of several massive stations built into the sides of the Rebeck mountains, which when activated, would each roll out their own massive metal slab that would cover a portion of the city from above. When all stations were activated, it would form a sort of roof over the city. Buildings in the city were required to be only a certain height, to allow room for the roof to close. But height was generally not a problem, since the elevation was extremely low on the inner portion of the Rebeck mountains. A television broadcast was played over the Vesta broadcasting stations talking about a possible nuclear threat and that there was no need to panic.

A few minutes later, when the Chancellor had reached his nuclear fallout vault, in a classified location, several governmental leaders and top military officers had already began to crowd the cold, concrete bunker up. On the way down, in the elevator, the Chancellor's ears had begun to hurt from the pressure. When the doors finally opened, he briskly walked right past the nearly fifty officials, who were being held back by the Spektronian National Honor Guards, who had recently gotten a uniform change. The Honor Guard was a smaller branch of the Diktatorischen Wache (Dictatorial Guard or DW). The DW was the original Fascist revolutionary fighting force in Spektronia that served as the rebel's soldiers during the revolution. Now, they did little but serve as ceremonial guardsmen and sometimes national guards for emergencies such as riots and hostage situations. The Honor Guard was the only section of the DW that used soldiers who were fed the mysterious compound to make them taller and stronger.

The guards in their white helmets pushed everyone aside for the Chancellor and his family as they went to the back of the bunker, past a massive metal vault door with the Seal of the Office of the Chancellor inscribed into either side of it. Inside, stood a few men and women, some in suits, some in various military uniforms. Leitermarschall Helmut Hilshcer, the head of the SK stood at the head of the large wooden table with several maps of the world, Spektronia, her colonies, the German Empire and the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile lied out across the table. "And here we see that a strike in this spot could potentially-" Helmut was cut off as the Chancellor and his family entered the room. The Chancellor turned to his wife and all his children, except his eldest son, Vice-Chancellor Heinrich Alexander Häussler. "Why doesn't everyone except Alex go in the living room? There's a kitchen in there too. The staff will fix you something if you're feeling peckish."

The entire room was silent for a few moments. Even the Honor Guards felt a little uncomfortable as they towered above everyone. To break the ice, Leitermarschall Hilscher extended his arm out in salute. Almost instantly, the rest of the room followed in his example, including the honor guards. "Leitermarschall, thank you for conducting everyone appropriately while I made my way here. But I have it from here." He said as Helmut moved and Adolf and Alexander took their places at the head of the table. Adolf's eyes went back and forth on his administration and military leaders until he came across a man in a blue suit with a pin that read "SNSD" (Spektronian National Space Department).

Adolf- "Administrator Ferber, what's the status of Titan-One?"

Ferber- "The space station has been given instructions and the astronauts are prepping for a space walk now sir."

Adolf- "Good. I want to see exactly where these warheads are being launched from, if they are even being launched. Alex, get my laptop from my briefcase. Ladies and Gentlemen I am about to issue declarations of war against the Unified German Reich and the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile, just for safe measures. I'll also try to contact their leaders to see about this whole situation. This is a Supreme Dictatorial Order, so the Board of War has no say in this. Any objections, even though they won't make a difference?" The room was silent. "Good."

AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF WAR FROM THE SPEKTRONIAN BOARD OF WAR AND THE OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE SUPREME FASCIST DICTATORSHIP OF SPEKTRONIA.

The Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia, by the Supreme Dictatorial Order of Chancellor Adolf Häussler, officially declares war against the Unified German Reich and the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile. The current launching of nuclear warhead against the Supreme Fascist Dictatorship as well as twelve separate colonies of Spektronia will not be tolerated. All armed forces members of the Unified German Reich and the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile are currently considered hostile to all members of the armed forces of the Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia, who have full authorization from the Spektronian Board of War to use violent force against any of such enemies of Spektronia, if they absolutely see fit to do so. In response to the imminent attack by the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile and the Unified German Reich, the armed forces of the Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia have been fully mobilized and are prepared to combat German and Capilean forces. The nuclear arsenal has also been prepped for launch and several target locations have been pre-selected within the Unified German Reich and the Grand Duchy of Nova Capile. The Supreme Fascist Dictatorship of Spektronia strongly urges the Unified Reich and the Grand Duchy to abort the immanent warheads or suffer total annihilation in an unrestrained total nuclear war.


Titan-One, the main Spektronian Space Station, Space

"Uh, yeah. Opening airlock doors now." Said a voice through Hauptmann of the Spektronian National Airforce and Mission Commander of the SNSD, Nicole Wachtel as she floated around in her red, the signature color of the SNSD, space suit within an airlock of Titan-One. Slowly, the doors opened as all the oxygen was sucked out of the tiny room and she was let out, with a cord hooked onto her suit, keeping her from floating away. "Goalie,(The code word for SNSD command) are you picking this up on your end?" Asked the Commander. "Copy. Video feed is crystal clear." Said Golie. "Alright. I'm fixing in on targetlocation now. Wait... How come there's nothing there? Am I crazy or are you not seeing this too, Golie?" "Uh... wait, you're right. We don't see any in flight warheads either."

"Could the whole thing have been a hoax?" Asked the Commander as she was returning to the space station. Goalie responded "We don't know Commander, we'll have to report back to the Administrator."

Back at the Nuclear Fallout Shelter

"Sir, we just recieved word from Titan-One..." Administrator Ferber interupted as everyone continued to listen to the Chancellor's words while he pinted out across several maps.

Adolf- "And what's the status of those warheads, Administrator?"

Ferber- "Eh- Well... Titan-One and Goalie both have no confirmation on any intercontinental nuclear warheads..."

Adolf- "What!? Nothing!? Are you sure?"

Ferber- "Yes, Mr. Chancellor. They would be able to see them from space, but there's nothing there"

Adolf- "I'm sending out communiques to Nova Capile and the Unified German Reich at once. In the mean time, I want the SNIA (Spektronian National Intelligence Agency) looking through the data files of the NID's nuclear tracking devices. Find out if this was a glitch or some foul play at work."

Encryption: Extreme

Klaus, the Nuclear Intelligence Division's scanners here and across my colonies have recently picked up the signatures of several Intercontinental Nuclear Warheads that had been launched from your nation as well as the Unified German Reich in a coardinated attempt to wipe my nation off of the face of the Earth. The SNSD has also confirmed that no such warheads have been launched according to SNSD Command and by a brave Commander aboard Titan-One and by several of their crew. Have you betrayed me or are the scanners truly glitched?"

New Suraq

Just as the Stabsfeldwebel was about to respond to the Hauptmann, he was interupted by Tazir as he ran up to him and handed him a tablet. "Sir, we've just recieved word about the Unified German Reich and Nova Capile launching nuclear warheads agains Spektronia and her colonies!"

"What!? Give me this..." He said as he snatched the tablet and read from it. After reading it, he went for his USP, but did not aim it at the German, instead he pointed it upwards. "What is the meaning of this!? Have you brought us out here just to distract us!? Or to kill us!?"
