The Frojo War [OPEN/MT]

[The Black Hand of Nod]

-NSS Blackjack-
The replies just kept pouring in now, with the arrival of the Palmyrian fleet and the ceasing of the offensive capabilities of the Tedalonian fleets it looked like the bulk of the fighting was over and the diplomatic games were finally beginning. At times Parre didn't know which was more stressful for a communications officer, keeping track of the various back and forth between all the parties was proving to be almost as hectic as pouring through Troop load out infos and military status reports... Yet despite that their training held and as the news slowly flowed back into command the overwhelmingly positive response was enough to keep them on task as they worked out a plan and a response to the growing number of parties involved.

To Peoples Liberation Front Lt Cmdr Parre.
From: John Rhictor Valkiiri

I will gladly allow you to host our meeting. It might be less problematic for diplomats from various nations if they were not surrounded by an army of a belligerent power.

We have researched your faction as well, while it was difficult, we have compiled some information on your front and have decided that in this instance your cooperation would be highly beneficial to our own goals in this matter.

war is a matter of necessity, it should be treated as a serious business with the goal being to end it as quickly as possible. Either by diplomatic means or by removing the ability, or desire of the opposition to continue fighting. Often that means extreme measures must be taken.

On the matter of future trade, this is not my department. I would consider bringing your leadership together with the appropriate agency after a face to face meeting with your leadership.

To: John Rhictor Valkiiri
From: Lt Cmdr Parre.

With your support of allowing the diplomatic meet to continue I will forward the request to command and have the diplomatic vessel rerouted immediately and will shortly make an announcement on this offer to the rest of the gathered forces. We are pleased with your offer of cooperation and agree that with things the way they are this is currently our best course of action. While we ourselves are no stranger to war, we further understand the cost of war on a level that we feel that many others still do not fully understand, and see no need to force anyone, including ourselves, to pay that cost when there is no longer the reason too. It will take at least two days for the diplomatic vessel to arrive and perhaps two more to reach an agreement with the others, in the meantime we will continue our mission and continue standing by. High Command hopes to have a meeting sometime before the end of the week if everything works out. As for business and other deals, we can let that wait until after the peace meeting.

To: Palmyrian Royal Naval Forces
From: Lt. Commander Parre, Acting Communications Officer of the People's Freedom Front Combined Fleet\Admiral Ignoto Stern PFF 4th Fleet

To gathered Palmyrian forces, this is the People's Freedom Front combined fleet, we are stationed along the coastline of the Northeastern Frojo coast. We are currently neutral in the conflict and are here on a humanitarian mission. Our objective was the peaceful housing and treatment of refugees and war victims as well as a mission to provide a safe area in Frojo where conflict could be avoided. As of this time we have set up two camps and have begun treatment of the local populace as well as begun peace talks with the other gathered factions. We are currently aligned with the Valkiiri government in organizing a ceasefire and government negotiation between all the factions currently involved. We believe, and we are certain that there is widespread agreement among many of the combatants, that further conflict will serve to do nothing more than prolong the suffering of the Frojo people, and with the current status of the front we are joining in their demand for a cessation of hostilities and a commencement of peace talks. We are offering the full use of a diplomatic vessel of ours to provide hosting for such a conference as well as any and all other diplomatic actions that may be required to bring peace to this war-torn island. Details are still being worked on to hammer out the actual time of the peace talks and the total number of parties that will be invited but as one of the principle parties involved you will be invited if you support the offer.

For now we simply request that you provide no fly overs over Northeast Frojo without warning us ahead of time, even though the fighting has appeared to die down with the recent defeat of Holy Tedalonian forces at Fort Autumn we are maintaining our defensive vigil just in case of future flare ups. We hope to host a peace talk within the next four to five days pending others responses and hope that you will be willing to join us in when the time comes. Until then we will leave contact open if you have any questions regarding our mission or on the status of the pending peace talks. Feel free to contact us if you have any trouble regarding war refugees or prisoners of War for we are quite willing to house both with no cost to yourselves. Either way we will see you on the ground, hopefully in peace.

We created a ceasefire for 30 days, and begun diplomatic warfare, The offshore stuff got to "non frojy" so we retconned it, and Palmyrion has arrived to Frojo.

[The Black Hand of Nod]

We created a ceasefire for 30 days, and begun diplomatic warfare, The offshore stuff got to "non frojy" so we retconned it, and Palmyrion has arrived to Frojo.

On my front, the Black Hand has finished work on two refugee camps and have begun work on one more logistics camp on the coast near the landing zone.

Diplomatically Nod has agreed to work with Valkiir on setting up a ceasefire and so a cruise ship turned diplomatic meeting ship has been sent to Frojo to host peace talks for all the various sides in a few days.

We're hoping to invite everyone involved including, Palmyrion, Holy Tedalonia, Valkiir, myself, the Rebels, and the Nocvep government.

Might move forces into Gorotsk to keep the peace.

[Altpeak]

Altpeak took notice of the war on Frojo and extended an offer of military aid in the form of troops and equipment along with instructors to teach Nocvepian troops how to use said equipment to Nocvep.

[Valkiir]

To Nocvep Command:
Situation report:

Fort Autumn: Secure no casualties, Enemy destroyed facilities during retreatReonsrution in progress.
Fort Tumbler: Secured, heavy casualties, Base intact reinforcing, and fortifing position.

Diplomatic report: cease-fire with "Ted" Forces in place, attempting to set up negotiations with all parties to establish complete cease-fire to allow Nocvep and Frojo insurgents to arrive at negotiated settlement. President Rhictor-Valkiiri request that you contact him directly to discuss Possible ceasefire/diplomatic settlement.

[PetzConfederation]

OOC: Here is my short sitrep - this post and the Petz Black Market is currently occupying Gorotsk, Fort Firewatch, Fort Hulo and the capital of Frojo.

[The Black Hand of Nod]

OOC:
I can't see how you can occupy Gorotsk when you made a big show of evacuating it and sending all your supplies to Fort Firewatch, by the time your forces would have gotten back to Gorotsk I would have already occupied it.

[Holy Tedalonia]

OCC: thought occupying wasn't a freedom front thing.

[The Black Hand of Nod]

OCC: thought occupying wasn't a freedom front thing.

OOC: Since when? I'm occupying all the territory of the camps I've set up.
It's clear that someone will need to have a presence in the city to keep someone from trying to advance on it, and since I'm the closest that just means parking a few vehicles on the sides of the main roads into town and renting out a single hotel with enough height to provide a line of sight to the nearby mountains.

That's enough to make sure you won't break the ceasefire without me at least noticing and punishing you accordingly. And the Petz cannot be trusted not to hand the city over to your forces.

Admiral Magtoles sighed at two thoughts at once: the fact that the fighting was over, and they won’t have to do a lot of work, and the fact that the party was over, now that the entire expeditionary force won’t be able to have some fun in the bullet rave. But, at least, the navy could find rest in foreign lands…though they don’t know what could happen next. Nevertheless, the admiral responded immediately:

Regarding the diplomatic discourse, the Royal Commonwealth will surely be glad to attend the peace talks. However, I am not in a position to attend such a conference, so I will have to contact the monarch for this.

Rest assured, however, that the Royal Commonwealth will support any necessary military activity on the island, for the Royal Commonwealth wishes for a quick end to this bloodshed. If you find any Palmyrian stranded on the island, please hand them over to us immediately; we cannot abandon our expatriates in grave danger. Adm.

The admiral turned towards the communications officer, after writing the rather brief letter to whoever contacted them on the island. At this point the crew was relieved that nobody was causing a ruckus on the island, but they were still all eyes and ears to the admiral’s announcements as they were dealing with potentially unknown forces, all of whom they have never met in person.

”Comms officer, SUPCOM, Alpha Wolf Sovereign.” she sternly commanded the communications officer to patch them through to the Supreme Commandant. The Supreme Commandant – a woman in her early 50’s, still a sublime one – appeared in front of the admiral, from untold horizons away, via the secured communications network of the Royal military.

”Alpha Wolf, One-Zero-One Charlie-Sierra-Alpha Actual. The military forces here are going to initiate peace talks, while conducting peacekeeping and defensive operations. Date, time, location still unknown, but we just want to inform them of our representative for the negotiations.” the admiral told the Supreme Commandant, who then immediately replied:

”One-Zero-One Charlie-Sierra-Alpha Actual, Alpha Wolf, we copy. I’ll inform the Lakán about this, see what he says. I’ll keep you posted. Alpha Wolf out.” the live feed showing the Supreme Commandant shut off. This is gonna be a long day, thought the admiral to herself.

Alexander II looked perplexed about what the Pres. Esteemed said. This guy really is on a land grab, eyes fixed on Frojo. I won’t let him get away with this, he thought. He immediately replied, at the quickest burst of his mind:

”The Antarctic Empire can benefit from the agricultural power of Palmyrion and her allies, and we can benefit from your manufactured goods, but we are in staunch opposition of imperialism. We will accept your offer, only if you abandon your imperialistic goals towards Frojo.” he sternly said in a calm voice, albeit with a tinge of sullen anger. This Morrius Tedgustus was already getting into his nerves. A message came suddenly to his personal laptop. It was the Supreme Commandant.

”Good morning, Your Majesty.” the Supreme Commandant said, eyes fixed on the monarch.

”Good morning, grand marshal. Is there a matter of urgency?” the monarch asked, his valuable attention divided between the visitor and the Supreme Commandant.

”101 Carrier Strike Armada has established contact with the factions in Frojo. The fighting seems to have died down, and PAREF-Frojo will be on station to conduct peacekeeping and defensive operations at your discretion. They suspect the Tedalonians to come back with a hard vengeance.” the Supreme Commandant answered the monarch’s question with a calm voice, though it hid a rather poorly-hidden tone which lacked patience.

”They have full permission to set up shop in Frojo if their newfound allies allow them. Is there anything else?” the Lakán replied, his eyes changing focus on both the Supreme Commandant and President Tedgustus.

”We have been invited by these newfound allies for a peace negotiation. We wish to know who would be our diplomatic representative for the talk as appointed by you.” the Supreme Commandant replied.

”Send the Prime Minister to the peace negotiations. That’s an order. I’ll be writing an official letter not long after. Benevolent Throne out.” the Lakán answered, afterwards cutting the connection to resume his conversation with the President Esteemed. ”So, how’s my offer, Mr. President?” the Lakán said, eyebrows raised, smirking, hands all pointed to the President Esteemed.

OOC:
I can't see how you can occupy Gorotsk when you made a big show of evacuating it and sending all your supplies to Fort Firewatch, by the time your forces would have gotten back to Gorotsk I would have already occupied it.

OOC: I don't use occupy as a military term, because the Petz Black Market is not a military organization. I meant that they will settle markets in the city again. As far as I understand from the IC, your faction does not have any problems with that. If I am wrong, correct me.

"I respect your offer. I really do, but as you are a man of ideology, so am I. You and I see this world and look upon it with ambition. It makes sense that you hate a imperialistic nation such as mine, since you were victims of one. I would have let you shoot me if I broke the deal, since I am a man of my word. I offered the rights of a Tedalonian citizenship to the people of Frojo, and allow them to vote, but you care not. I apologize if you find my denial of you're offer infuriating, but my nations confrontation with imperialism united the tribes and formed the Tedalonian Empire. Even though the Tedalonian Empire is dead, it's ability to change a culture and unite a continent proved that imperialism can work. Nations are formed by imperialism Palmyrion. No matter what you claim your nation is, it had adopted imperialism in the past.

'How can a civilization be formed without taking a bit of land? Does that mean you're ancestors were Imperialist, or does that mean your nation had been a imperialistic? If so, then hasn't every civilization adopted imperialism?', A quote from Tedalonius Ruvikgustus the IV.

It's a shame we can't work out our differences. Perhaps I should send you a gift to ease our tensions? Maybe a baby direwolf or a set of Tedalonian Aristocrat clothes? I assure you that the gift won't kill anybody, unless you count when the direwolf does not get feed... anyways, this has been a pleasant meeting? Hasn't it? Well, a country needs me so I got to head back, goodbye 'King of the North'," said Morrius as he prepares to depart from the throne room.

We are pleased to report that a diplomatic vessel with all the suitable comforts for a world leader is currently en-route to Frojo as we speak, Command was most pleased by the outpouring of support from multiple factions and we are pleased to announce that in two days time we will be prepared for any guests to arrive. We are currently continuing our humanitarian aid and peacekeeping campaign in our sector, due to the ceasefire we will be moving a small force into Gorotsk to observe the area just in case of further aggression by Holy Tedalonia. Of the two subjects we acquired, I had yet to have them officially questioned due to the rapid pace of development, needless to say this will be corrected and we will be sending their photos over along with our response. If they are proven to be Palmyrian citizens we will have them flown over in a transport helicopter to whichever ship you designate.

-North Frojo-
-Base Camp Alpha-
The Black Hand's deployment had been quick, from the start of the first base two more were deployed, one coastal temporary naval base, one refugee camp, and one air supply base designed for rapid reinforcement by air. The necessary infrastructure had been easy to install and with a little help from the locals who the Black Hand was already hard at work trying to make sure they were accepted, the agents making sure they were all smiles as they directed people to where they needed to go.

Of the three camps though only Alpha was still closed off to civilians, well mostly, for medical services Alpha was serving as the gathering place of wounded but for other services camp Alpha served as the garrison base for the Black Hand operatives... and those whom they have taken prisoner, which as of the current time were 7, 3 were brought in for suspected banditry and were promptly roomed together and mostly left alone aside from being fed, the remaining 4 however had been brought in for trespassing with the obvious intent to spy... of the remaining ones two of them were quickly identified as simply curious rebel agents and were released with a short note explaining that, currently, the PFF had no position taking sides but were willing to talk.

The other two, well they were given the same treatment as the bandits, isolation together in a recorded room and 2 meals a day with restroom breaks every 3 hours, from the quality and the content it was clear that their captors were feeding people something along the lines of a humanitarian rations their last meal being a rice and bean mix that, aside from being rather tasteless didn't seem to be poisoned... really their worst problem was boredom due to the silence of the guards who, due to a lack of interrogators, seemed hesitant to question them. That is until Josan and White's teams returned and promptly had the two brought out to the break room of the steel barracks for an official Q&A session. The guards escorting them lead them into the bland metal room without much word, the break room barely had the right to even be called that, there was very little hospitality here, the only chairs were steel and the only excuse for a couch was clearly a medical cot sitting against the wall with some pillows piled on top... and the only table was a small narrow coffee table that sat directly under the main ceiling fan of the room, a cheap plastic knock off that droned annoying above their heads to ward off the metal room's heat... the AC either on the fritz or yet to be installed.

The two suspected spies were sat down in on two of the steel chairs facing the coffee table, Josan taking the cot, and the other still nameless person taking the chair across from them. at the door stood a third guard, female this time, who stood in a black uniform and a face mask and from her stance, seemed extremely tense or as someone who was making sure to not screw up. The remaining two were unmasked with the exception of Josan having the same sunglasses he wore to the Petz meeting, the man's appearance giving a hint to a middle eastern background, the other man, looked typical European, but from what part was hard to say from the uniform. Either way these two soldiers sat and just stared at the spies for a moment before Josan finally broke the ice by addressing his fellow soldier. "So I heard you got into a scuff up..." Causing the first to chuckle and draw what looked like an Asian like short blade and reach back and slap at Josan with the scabbard... "Not now Josan, we're working... I told you already we compare after the mission is over, for now..." He turned to them with a small smile, "We have guests, I can't believe they didn't send someone over from the ship to give you guys a talking to the moment they nabbed you, I swear they must be getting lazy."
Josan chuckled, "You know you got right now our Admiral will be delivering your pictures to the Palmyrion fleet... we're hoping that they'll be able to identify you for us... then we can simply, turn you over, without any fuss."

"White" glanced at the woman and back at them, "If you are Palmyrion that is, we don't think you're a Ted and definitely not a Petz, so of the people on this side of the island who aren't rebels or Nocvep, so Palmyrion seems to be our best guess, but we'll let you answer that for us... if you want to that is... there's no hurry, we'll get our answers soon enough... but at the least we can have a pleasant conservation while waiting for the verdict... like swap war stories."


-Gorotsk-
The Black Hand infiltration of Gorotsk was simple and effective, a military truck full of people drove up to the city, stopped in front of the local lodging and rented out several rooms with no questions asked. No grand parade, no ceremony, there was no need for that, the only other sign was deployment of several more troops to several chokepoints around the city, the men ordered to keep concealed positions along the road in case of an enemy advance. For now though, no moves were needed with the ceasefire in place.

The Lakán listened on as President Tedgustus spoke. As he knew from his history class, the tribe of Palmyria united the Dominyong Palmyria, but this wasn’t technically imperialism. Even if he wanted to reply, he couldn’t for the President was going to leave – but not before offering the Lakán a gift. It could be a greyhound, or a set of aristocrat clothing; however, accepting gifts would mean something quite significant, and the Lakán did not want to lose face to his subjects, especially now that Tedgustus was a strange man to the Palmyrians, by accepting either gift.

”No, thank you, Mr. President. I rarely ever accept gifts, even back when I was the Crown Prince. If you want to leave now, tarry no longer, for your people await you.” the Lakán replied, and went back to his laptop. He immediately wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, who he will send abroad for a diplomatic mission.

Guimaras Occidental Naval Station
Forces in Theater:

• Carrier Strike Groups: 23 (dispatched to Frojo), 24, 25 (on patrol), 26
• Expeditionary Strike Groups: 23, 24, 25, 26
• Independent Submarine Task Forces: 101-108 (odd numbers have Rigel-class SSN, even numbers have Citadel-class SSGN)
• Independent Support Task Forces: 11-15 (Strategic Sealift Vessels; 11 dispatched to Frojo), 71-75 (T-AOEs)

The 25th was still in patrol and still in combat posture after the unknown vessel showed up all of a sudden in Palmyrion’s SOSUS array. This unknown vessel would soon welcome a helicopter into its fold, and then submerge when it would depart.

Another one of the steel naval behemoths of the Royal Commonwealth – one of the 100 Punong-class CVNs it had – departed from its pier, alongside its escorts composed of 8 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 2 SSNs, and 2 T-AOEs. It departed alongside a single strategic sealift vessel, one large vessel that contained roll-on-roll-off facilities for the vehicles it contained. It contained a rather vital package: the Prime Minister, a diplomat sent for diplomatic engagement with the belligerents in Frojo.

”Vessel Traffic Service, this is Alexander Macadangdang, requesting clearance to depart pier, over.” the captain of the Alexander Macadangdang radioed vessel traffic service as it departed from Guimaras Naval Station.

”Alexander Macadangdang, this is Vessel Traffic Service, you have been cleared to depart. Bon voyage. May God bless your journey. Out.” the Vessel Traffic Service replied.

They departed for Frojo, with the Ocean Wagon sailing within the Carrier Strike Armada for protection. The routine was the same: AWACS aircraft taking off and landing on the Alexander Macadangdang’s deck, conducting defensive surveillance operations, and ASW helicopters dipping their LAMPS to check for enemy submarines.

A nearby soldier asked Morrius, "President Esteemed I expect your meeting with the Palmyrions go?"

"We have somewhat similar backstories, overthrew the established government, ideology of freedom, and have royalty. The one major difference is the ideology on expansion. They believe imperialism is the bane of everything, and wish to destroy it. We however were united under imperialism and understand its importance," said Morrius.

The soldier looked at Morrius confused. The soldier couldn't understand why a nation was anti-imperialism. Morrius continues down the hallway.

A soldier reported, "sir, our intel reports that the Prime Minister is departing, intercept?"

"No that won't be necessary. We are going to head home," said Morrius.

Being a General capturing the prime minister would be a strategic advantage, however he wished to be on good terms with Palmyrion. He did not want to give a impression.

Old War Bunker Remnant

The NAF soldiers patted down the Petz agent. They found no weapons and signaled for him to follow them. They walked through the corridors of the damp, dark bunker, water droplets echoing in chambers on either side of the hallways, and stopped at a large room with a flickering light. They motioned the Petz agent to come through, and as he did so, they slammed the metal door shut behind him. Inside the room a single wooden table stood, two chairs on either side. Seth Higgs sat on one end with a laptop. As the door slammed shut, he closed the laptop and grinned creepily at the Petz operative.

"Hello Mr. Letruz," he began, "Allow me to introduce myself- I am general Seth Higgs of the New Army of Frojo. I assume you know why I called you here... My men have noticed a significant decrease in quality of equipment that your black market was selling us. I'm not happy about that, we lost several men already due to your faulty equipment. I wanted to ask you," he paused for dramatic effect, "Did the Tedalonian occupation of the island somehow... affect the quality of your wares?"

Nocvep
"Everybody read over the plans?" asked general Stormov after handing out a package to each of his advisors, who nodded in response to the question, "Then we can go ahead with Operation Red Banner. Send word to the capital, and have the partisans begin their attacks. When will the 4th army be arriving?"

"Five days, sir."

"Good. When they arrive, have them move north through Hammerhold to get around Snaketongue without running into the Tedalonians. Yeah, Valkiir and Zeclil can take care of that. Even though they've got the ceasefire, they can still block of supply routes and apply pressure on the Tedalonians without being directly involved in conflict." Stormov chuckled, "The NAF won't know what hit 'em."
