For know they would kill the 4 highest ranking Aztecan officials they could find in the crowd. 2 minutes before 4 GBU-57Bs would strike the temple grounds.
Each man reported being on target, a minute later “green light” was broadcasted. The president the minister of defense, the chief priest and the head of the Aztecan Airforce all died body shots but the impact of the .408 round struck hard. Panic spread quickly their security details rushed to late to protect the men they’d been charged to protect. The snipers disassembled their weapons and left their shooting nests. The sound of the 2 B-2s flying over drowned out by the city noise, but not the sound of the 4 massive GBU-57Bs exploding. The buildings shook, 4 of the 5 pyramids smoking craters.

Both of the Belize City bombs were in backpacks at the time of detonation, and where both triggered by disposable cell phones.” Reported an analyst.
“Ok thankyou. What do we know about the shootings at the Mayan Ruins? Cmdr. Morris asked.

“What do we know about the attacks in Finnian Bastada?” Cmdr. Morris asked.
“looks like a mass kidnapping of nearly four dozen Finnian citizens and then explosive and triggered by digital timers. There are also no reports of the types of shrapnel being pulled out of people that where pulled out of victims of our bombings. There are also at least forty people who are missing since the attacks.” Reported an analyst.

“It is good to meet you commander, we have quite the mess here,”
Dep. Com. Morano didn’t finish his sentence as he was interrupted by a member of Unit 601,
“Sir, we just received an alert from HQ, the Managua headquarters of the National Police has been bombed and nearly completely destroyed. Cmdr. Mendez would like to talk to you in ten minutes on the secure video chat.” The young operations officer reported.

“Gentlemen as I am sure most of you already know, this afternoon the headquarters of the National Police hear in Managua was attacked with a massive truck bomb the building was nearly completely destroyed.
Now we must strike back for our brothers in the National Police. I need to know everything you all know about these terrorist attacks.” Cmdr. Mendez stated.
“The initial casualty report from todays 47 dead and 163 wounded both of those numbers are expected to rise as first responders continue to pull people from the rubble.” Stated an operations officer.
“We found a piece of the truck that tested positive for explosive residue on site, so we took it to our forensics lab and it tested positive for TATP just like the other bombs.” A forensics tech reported
“That’s great work, these terrorists certainly like using TATP in their bombs. Tell me about the raids in Belmopan, and San Carlos.” Cmdr. Mendez responded.
“Sir, the raids went very well. In Belmopan we found large amounts of TATP precursor chemicals. We found the chemicals at the house of a wealthy Aztecan business man, who lives and works out of Belmopan. The business man has strong ties to both the FNS and the Aztecan government.” Reported Tsgt. Mike Rojas an intelligence analyst from the 91st Special Activities Squadron.
“That’s good to hear, what else did the raids produce for us?” Cmdr. Mendez asked.
“Sir, in Belmopan we also raided a location that was owned by business that is in turn owned by the Aztecan Government. The warehouse was being rented by a man with ties to the ELN. In the warehouse we found large quantities of nails, ball bearings, electrical wiring, disposable cell phones, and backpacks. I’m fairly certain we have found a bomb factory, despite the fact we didn’t find any explosives or precursor chemicals on the site. We also took four prisoners at the warehouse.” Tsgt.

Government Communications Security Bureau
Cambridge, Tasmania, New Anzakia
Despite being home to more than 12,000 employees the sprawling headquarters complex often feels empty, the long wide hallways are never noisy nor crowded with people. In one of the many work areas in Building 4 Nick Gould sat at his work station listening to intercepted Nipponese military communications. Bathed in the glow of the computer monitors on his desk Nick Gould does not make an intimidating first impression, Nick is able to speak, read, and write in seven languages.
Nick and his team of communications intelligence analysts have been tasked with generating the initial intelligence briefs for operations against the minor southeastern islands of the Indonesian archipelago. The first two targets are Rote and Sumba Islands. Occupation of these two islands would allow for the expansion of the allied air defense umbrella into enemy territory. Nick was busy listening to Nipponese military communications. The communications he was listening to revealed that the two target islands were very lightly defended. The island of Rote had no military units at all and Sumba island only has two battalions of infantry in defense.

Airforce Plant 63,
Cordoba, Argentina State, Nahmeighn
New Anzakian Airforce Lt.Gen. Harry Myers walked the production floor of the massive aircraft factory watching as men busily build new aircraft. Plant 63 manufactures F-24s and F-28s. the majority of the aircraft currently being produced at Plant 63 are ultimately bound for New Anzakia. The expected growth of the New Anzakian Airforce led them to assign liaison officer specifically to oversea the production of new aircraft in Nahmeighn. LTG. Myers and his staff are responsible for the production and delivery of aircraft to the New Anzakian Airforce.
Alongside LTG. Myers walked plant manager Michelle Adams,
“Miss. Adams this is quite the facility you operate here, I’m very impressed by its efficiency. I also understand the plant can easily be expanded.” LTG. Myers states.
“Yes General Myers that is correct, we have additional production facilities that have been mothballed that can be reactivated on short notice.” Michelle Adams responded.
“That is very good to hear, my government trying to greatly its domestic aircraft production capacity, but that is going a great deal of time. So until we are able to build up our own production capacity we will have to rely on yours.” LTG. Myers added.

Lake Notoro Naval Station
Lake Notoro, Hokkaido, Finnian Bastada
The normally sleepy facility at Lake Notoro was suddenly a very busy place two aircraft carriers the RNS Ranger and the RNS Saratoga had arrived in port about three days ago and now the five carries of Taskforce 58 were due into port today. Lake Notoro is also home to the Nahmeighnian Navy’s Asian Flotilla. The flotilla is commanded by a two star admiral, currently the flotilla is commanded by RAdm. Alyson Cheshire. RAdm. Cheshire commands a flotilla comprised of 28 corvettes, 16 frigates, and 10 destroyers. The ships of taskforce 58, the RNS Ranger and RNS Saratoga battle groups and the Asian Flotilla are to undertake operations in the central pacific. This combined force of ships will be designated 8th Fleet and will ultimately be home ported at the brand new Point Vernon Naval Base in New Anzakia.


Joint Base Diego Garcia
Over Seas Territory, Nahmeighn
The lagoon at Diego Garcia was extremely crowded with ships as the ships of carrier taskforce 37 steamed into the anchorage. The carriers were there to protect the landing force which had been assembled in Diego Garcia for Operation Ceylon the invasion of Sri Lanka. The 9th, 12th, and 15th Marine Divisions along with the 22nd and 31st Legion Lancer Divisions will seize control of Sri Lanka.
Marine Corps Gen. Larry Puller is in command of the landing forces with Foreign Legion Gen. Marcel LeCrux as his second in command. Generals Puller and LeCrux, have set up their command post aboard the prepositioning ship RNNS Apex they would give the crews of the carriers a chance for some shore rest and partial renewal. The combined invasion force will leave Diego Garcia in three days. The Navy had flown in three replacement crews which are to be divided up amongst the five carriers of the taskforce.

Halls Creek Airforce Base, Halls Creek, New Anzakia
The ramp was alive with activity as three squadrons of B-1Bs and B-1Rs of the 32nd and 93rd bomb wings take off for a bombing raid against the Nipponese Navy Base at Tanjung Pelepas. The eight B-1Rs taking part in the raid are a large mixed loads of long and medium range air-to-air missiles and long range air-to-surface anti-radiation missiles.

Aboard ships of the 8th fleet in the Sea of Japan
Pacific Fleet command in Valparaiso had ordered the ships of the 8th Fleet into the Sea of Japan. They are currently sailing deep in enemy territory roughly 150mi off the coast of the home islands of Greater Nippon.

Aboard RNS Saratoga
In the Ward room of the carrier RNS Saratoga VAdm. Lars “Boomer” York the commander of all 8th Fleet airwings is meeting with his CAGs. The CAGs or Commander Air Group(s) are the senior pilots in each of the 8th Fleet’s seven carrier air wings.
“Alright lets get this meeting started. As we all know it’s a very rare occasion that we get to make a prolonged cruise through enemy territory. Our cruise through the Sea of Japan will cover more than 1,500 nautical miles. We will be conducting a series of airstrikes against air fields and air defense sites. Cats and Airwing 43 are first up. They will strike airfields at Nigata and Komatsu. We will also be maintaining around the clock cap over the fleet, along with cat alert birds.” VAdm. York announced.
Airwing 17 onboard the Ranger has been realigned with its F/A-28s removed along with the EF-24Cs and additional A-11s and S-5s added, Airwing 19 on the Saratoga has also been realigned with the S-5s and F/A-28Cs removed and additional EF-24Cs and A-11s added.
Capt. Lyssa “Lion” Lucas CAG of Airwing17 raised her hand to ask a question like a schoolgirl;
“Why was my airwing realigned?” Lion asked
“We need the extra Anti-submarine and Anti-Surface warfare ability since our subs have been stripped for another mission. Boomer responded.
“Ok that makes sense, but what about Airwing19? Lion Responded.
“The primary objective of our pleasure cruise is to wreak havoc in the home islands and the extra EF-24s and A-11s will help us accomplish that objective.” Boomer responded.
Aboard RNS Wasp
The hanger deck was an absolute mad house as the plane crews of VFA43 and VA43 busily prepped their aircraft for the upcoming raids against Nigata and Komatsu. The A-11s of VA43 are being loaded with mixed loads of ordnance. Primarily they are being loaded with SPM-238 anti-runway munitions, and 1,000lb cluster and fragmentation bombs. 4 EF-24Cs of Det2/VAQ11 will be doing SEAD on the raids. The F/A-28s of VFA43 will fly CAP on the raids.
In the ready room of VF43 Capt. Jennifer “Cats” Morgan was briefing her squadron and detachment commanders.
Aboard Sniper3-1 over the Sea of Japan
Lt. Cmdr. Pedro Martinez sat at the controls of his SH-3 anti-submarine warfare helicopter. The helicopter hovered 80ft over the water with its dipping sonars dangling below it like tentacles. The two dipping sonars operate in different frequency ranges. Each of the sonars are mounted on long retractable arms mounted to the side of the fuselage.
The large and powerfully built lieutenant commander looked as though he had been wedged into the helicopter’s cockpit using a shoehorn. Lt. Cmdr. Martinez and his crew were five hours into their mission protecting the ships of the 8th Fleet against enemy submarines.
“Sir I’ve got a contact off our nose at 10 o’clock.” Reported sonar operator PO1 Emily Harris.
“Ok. What’s the range Emily?” CW3 Enrique Sanchez responded.
“Sir the range is 7,800m.” PO1 Harris responded.
“Eagle1-1 this is Sniper3-1 we have a possible contact bearing 3-1-0 range 7,800m from our current position.” Reported CW3 Sanchez to the circling S-5 that was controlling the Anti-submarine warfare efforts of the fleet.
The dipping sonars started to raise out of the water as Sniper3-1 prepared to reposition.

The Loma Plata Weapons Depository is one of the primary storage sites for the military’s stock pile of nuclear weapons. The depository is comprised of hundreds hardened weapons storage bunkers. The bunkers are all built partially underground out of heavily reinforced concrete. The Loma Plata Depository also contains a large airstrip used for moving weapons around the country and the world.
Capt. Jim Engels of the Nahmeighn Navy is the commanding officer of the depository. Capt. Engels was walking the rows of bunkers as he often does checking on the work crews who pull the weapons out of the bunkers for their regular inspections. Capt. Engels had the prior afternoon received orders to ship weapons to bases on Hokkaido and in New Anzakia.

Nickerie, Suriname State, Nahmeighn
The sleepy seaside town of Nickerie in Suriname State is a hotbed of separatist politics the two largest separatist groups in Suriname State are the Suriname Independence League (SIL) or Liga de la Independencia de Suriname (LIS), the SIL is a hardline separatist group but their approach is to seek peaceful political change. The counterpart to the SIL is the Suriname Liberation Union (SLU) or Union de Liberacion de Suriname (ULS). The SLU is far more militant than the SIL and often commits crimes to fund its operations.
Two worn out vans were parked along opposite sides of a busy street. In one van were technicians from the 91st Special Activities Squadron who where operating eves dropping equipment. The techs in the van are listening to a meeting of separatists. In the other van is a close surveillance team that has been tracking a prominent separatist.

Kim Soon Park was sitting in a large overstuffed armchair in his office on the top floor of a Kuala Lumpur Office Tower. The Imperial Security Directorate’s Southern Regional Operations Complex operates out of a complex of five high rise office towers. Kim Soon Park was sitting in is armchair reading intelligence reports with the nightly tv news playing in the background. A particular report caught Kim’s eye, a junior intel analyst had written of reports from intel sources on the ground in southern Indonesia that the Anzakians had seized a small airfield and were flying in men and equipment.

The NB-3 Strategic Stealth bombers of the 3rd Tsubasa were being armed for a large raid against strategic targets on the island of Midway. The 3rd Tsubasa is a specially composed composite unit. The 3rd Tsubasa has seven flying sentai. The Tsubasa has three sentai which fly the NB-3, two sentai that fly KB-19 medium bomber and two sentai that fly the MB-93 tactical bomber. On the upcoming mission against Midway the Tsubasa will employ five squadrons, two sentais of MB-93s, two sentai of KB19s and one Sentai of NB-3s as the primary strike force. The NB-3s will carry bunker buster bombs to attack the East Island missile farm. The two sentai of MB-93s will be responsible for SEAD and will carry mixed loads of anti-radiation missiles and small diameter bombs. The KB-19s will attack the airfield and port facilities with cluster bombs and JDAMs.
The ground crews of the 3rd Tsubasa lined the taxi ways as the aircraft took off on their mission.
Across the airfield from the 3rd Tsubasa the men of 43rd Fighter Tsubasa were also preparing their NF-23 air superiority fighters, each of the 72 NF-23s will be carrying 6 medium range missiles and 4 short range missiles.

“Sir there is a large enemy force off our port bow. The enemy is highly active and has ASW helicopters up and is using corvettes to conduct sonar sweeps. I feel that we need to either get very aggressive in carrying out an attack on the enemy force or we need to withdraw from the Area.” Cmdr. Kim Moon Sung the executive officer the Itachizame stated.
“Cmdr. Kim I agree completely. We will get very aggressive in about six hours when three more friendly submarines are in the area to join in the attack we will also get significant help from shore based forces. Until that time lets turn and move slowly away from the enemy, set your course and make your speed 8knts.” Cmdr. Izame explained to his XO.

Office of the prime minister, New Belfast, Finnian Republic
The prime ministers office is recognizable to any Finnian citizen, a large oak desk, in front of large windows overlooking the Columbia River, this is where the prime ministers have addressed the people. “My fellow citizens, it is with a heavy heart I come before you tonight, we all remember the treacherous Nipponese and our past conflicts with them, the city of Salt Lake has finally been rebuilt and fit for habitation these last few years, the Damage of their invasion during the second pacific war can still be seen on our pacific coast, many parents including my wife Sarah and I gave children to the war, but we defeated them, we signed a peace treaty and moved on. Our allies in Maddox and Ukuskia did the same.” Started Michael Collins Prime Minister of the Armed Republic. “ We moved on having removed the nuclear teeth of our enemies, we claimed the island of Hokkaido and have garrisoned that island, from that island we have tried to ensure our enemies have acted honorably, a few of you will remember the stink they made demanding the island back, well we were correct in holding that island. Our enemy has not acted in good faith our intelligence agencies have been receiving word of the Nipponese rearming, building in secret strategic bombers, ballistic missile submarines, and rebuilding their nuclear stockpile, these are serious claims that had to be verified with that in mind the security council and I ordered a raid on a nuclear weapons facility our forces landed and secured the evidence we needed. The government of Nippon is manufacturing nuclear weapons again a direct violation of the Honolulu accord. With this in mind as well as previous attacks on our nation and our allies I have asked both houses to come together and declare war on Nippon and any and all allies enabling the Nipponese to spread there terror throughout the world. We will begin offensive operations immediately against Nippon, it is my desire that this war remain a conventional war, but with prior knowledge of the Nipponese way of thinking I have ordered our nuclear forces to their highest state of alert. National guard units will be called up for defense of the homeland, active military personnel will forward deploy. In this trying time I remind the Finnian people that we are united people and united we will defeat any enemy.”

The Uzushio and the other seven nuclear attack boats of her squadron along with older cruise missile submarines had been sent out to sink this convoy.
“Ok chief tell me, how many ships are we looking at?” Cmdr. Kim inquired.
“Sir probably a dozen warships and the computer says at least 50 merchantmen.” The sonar chief reported
“Ok so we’ve got twelve warships and 50+ merchant ships. The missile boats are to our west so the can fire a wall of missiles for them to sail into, and the attack four from the north and four from the south. We’ll hit them with missiles first and then close to attack with torps.” The captain thought aloud.
