Isratine Cold-War(IC thread)

[Rusthenia]

Mamilla Hotel, Jerusalem


Following the influx of Muslims into the Hotel plus their holding of military officers, the Government of the Kingdom of Assyria, Phoenicia and Jerusalem would demand that all Islamo-Jewish Refuges and Anti-Crusader officers, soldiers and generals be given to the Government of APJ. while the Anti-Air guns are improved throughout Jerusalem and around the Hotel if they tried to air-lift the anti=crusaders. and fighters would fly around the city and would shoot at anything going to Mamilla hotel. the Government of the Kingdom of Assyria, Phoenicia and Jerusalem would issue an statement of this to the international community.

Crusaders would join the Finnish parameter of the hotel

[Rusthenia]

Fatimah, decided to visit Suleiman.
When she arrived at the hospital she said to him
“Salaam Suleiman, Allah will reward you with jannah for your bravery.
And may I reward you now with that kiss I promised you.”
She smiled, believing entering a war zone was worth it.

"Fatimah you damn-gah!" Suleiman would wince, as he tried to get out of bed to embrace her. "...foolish girl, do you not realize how dangerous it is here?! How did you make it past the bombing?! The Crusaders are entering the city! Were I not injured, and requiring aid, I would've left the rubble for the Crusaders to pretend like they had some form of "victory"! You claim that I was your defender against the Crusader hordes, who pillage and rape those who are not like them, yet you risk that same molestation by being here! Are you love or jinn maddened?!!" Despite his fury, it was rather that Fatimah was here at the least opportune time, rather than her presence in general.

OOC; if an crusader rapes..... they get shot.

Erika awoke with a start and immediately reached for her M82-which wasn't there.
She looked around-a muslim girl, and Sully.
Her head started throbbing in pain, and she pressed her fingers against her temples.
"Agh...how long was I out..."

Crusaders would join the Finnish parameter of the hotel

"Oberleutenant! Crusaders!"
The Finnish Jaegers brought their rifles to bear, while the Leutenant came forward.
He affixed his former comrades with a cold glare. "This hotel is now under the protection of the Grand Duchy of Finland. Any offensive actions will result in your death."

“I’m sorry” she said “i am love maddened. I was worried that you would die alone.
Is there anyway I could return to safety to ease your worries and avoid being raped by the crusaders? Is there any place of safety?” She went on.

The Crusader officer would proclaim "Within our city and our airspace? what would you do condemn us in the UN! We could crush you weak force wihin an hour! and because of your leaving of our Tenth Crusade, you must leave Crusader lands within an month. and bring the tankers Louis!" within 30 minutes twenty T-16s Aramatas would join the crusader forces surrounding the hotel and the fins

[Danceria]

Suleiman would remain silent for a moment, hearing the Crusader's ultimatum. "You are not a commander of the Saranadi forces, and a civillian, get out while you still can. Take Erika with you, she will once more be under the protection of the Khanate, and my last act as a Khan. See her escorted to Danceria, or the Commonwealth, or wherever she wishes. No harm is to come to her." His eyes narrowed to the young girl. "Allow me to speak with her for one moment, in private."

He would sigh. "I want you on the next airlift out of here, understand? Promise me you will follow my orders."

As soon as Fatimah would leave, Sully would hobble over to Erika, a dark aura preceding him. "Erika von Scarnhost." he would growl. "Explain yourself."

[The Chuck]

Presidential Office - Charles Rock, The Chuck
"President Sobchak, as you know, the Slick Works Well Control Company has deployed a contingent of humanitarian workers to Jerusalem Isratine to assist the local people. There is currently a war raging there between the Isratine Jews and Arabs and Crusaders. Our humanitarian workers are staying at the Mamilla Hotel and have assisted any and all who have come to them for aid. However the Government of the Kingdom of Assyria, Phoenicia and Jerusalem has demanded that they turn over all Islamo-Jewish refugees and soldiers who are being treated there. They have denied this request because they have the legal right to but now the APJ are considering marching on the Hotel. Along with this information suggests that the Finnish Pro-Crusader faction has actually taken up a defensive perimeter around the hotel to protect the innocent and defenseless inside. However, there are 129 Chuckian citizens in the hotel and all but 9 of them are technically armed. If they are attacked they won't be able to hold out for long."

"Alright. I'll draft a response to the fucking APJ and let them know what this Catholic nation thinks of their shenanigans. Just to cover our bases, mobilize a battalion of soldiers and send them to the office in Yayladağı Turkey."

An Open Letter to the Government of the APJ
The Republic of The Chuck hereby warns the government of the APJ that any action taken against any persons in or near the Mamilla Hotel in Jerusalem shall be met with international condemnation and military action. As a nation who calls themselves "Crusaders" you do not follow the words of God in the Holy Bible. Is it not written in Psalm 82:4, "Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." This is exactly what our humanitarians are doing. They are assisting the weak and the needy in their hour of need. If you attempt to interfere with their mission then be prepared to face the vengeful wraith of this government and her people. If a single person in or near the Mamilla Hotel is harmed we shall bring hellfire and brimstone, the likes of which haven't been seen since the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. However, if you stay out of the way of our humanitarians, then we will continue to assist the citizens and proceed in peace."

The Hotel

After the respone and talks with France and Rusthenia the Goverment of the Kingdom of Assyria, Pheonica and Jerusalem would order the bombers to assult the hotle. they would appear close by before the second part of the order begin, the Ground forces begin their ground assult on the hotel, after the bombing of the roof, Helicopters would hover near one room and destroy it, it would be the room Suleiman, Fatimah and Erika were in.

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

Suleiman would remain silent for a moment, hearing the Crusader's ultimatum. "You are not a commander of the Saranadi forces, and a civillian, get out while you still can.

As soon as Fatimah would leave, Sully would hobble over to Erika, a dark aura preceding him. "Erika von Scarnhost." he would growl. "Explain yourself."

Erika matched his eyes with her own, narrowing them as well. "Explain yourself-" she growled "why you follow a religion that worships a pedophilic monster."

[Polish Prussian Commonwealth]

Erika awoke with a start and immediately reached for her M82-which wasn't there.
She looked around-a muslim girl, and Sully.
Her head started throbbing in pain, and she pressed her fingers against her temples.
"Agh...how long was I out..."



"Oberleutenant! Crusaders!"
The Finnish Jaegers brought their rifles to bear, while the Leutenant came forward.
He affixed his former comrades with a cold glare. "This hotel is now under the protection of the Grand Duchy of Finland. Any offensive actions will result in your death."

The Crusader officer would proclaim "Within our city and our airspace? what would you do condemn us in the UN! We could crush you weak force wihin an hour! and because of your leaving of our Tenth Crusade, you must leave Crusader lands within an month. and bring the tankers Louis!" within 30 minutes twenty T-16s Aramatas would join the crusader forces surrounding the hotel and the fins

Hauptmann Emil staggered out of the hotel, his wounds still bleeding slightly. After a few moments of conversation with the Oberleutenant, he hobbled forward and looked around.

"Radioman-tell HQ that we're not heading home, and make it clear that we died at the hands of our supposed allies while defending a neutral hospital. As for the rest of you...I would like to apologize."
His face twisted into a smirk. "I would like to apologize that your lives and ammunition will be wasted on such an undisciplined, unworthy rabble as this!"
He gestured at the crusaders. "THIS is what they send against the men of the North?! It would be an insult to any proper armed force to call this an Army, much less those who have fought for the freedom of the Finnish people!"
His voice went down a notch. "I know you signed up to fight the Muslims and to reclaim the Holy Land-that is an honorable and worthy goal for any follower of the Nazarene. But I tell you, it should be clear to you all by now that these are no sons of Christ, but rabble-base, inbred rabble, eager for any excuse to pillage and murder."
He paused for a moment, before going on.
"When I assumed command of this unit, I said that I would not ask anything of you that I was not willing to do myself. The time has come to prove the validity of that statement."

And so it began. Sharp cracks from FN FAL fire were intersped with AT4s whooshing as their rockets sought out-and found-tanks to kill.

The Second Battle of Jerusalem

Bullets from the Crusader's AK-47s fired out while the tanks helped fight the Finnish traitors, the hotel was bombed every time possible, the fighters would make an hell for any pilots near the city, units from the northern part of the city would come down to help crush the Finns. the (French) King of Assyria, Phoenicia and Jerusalem Dominique Anouilh would proclaim the Finns traitors and demand 1,000 in APJ Rubles for their betrayal of the Tenth Crusade. All paratroopers planned to help in the attack of the hotel are send to fight on the ground. As Dominique Anouilh would proclaim "For their refusels of our ulitmation we will make their hotel ruins!"

[Danceria]

Suleiman would remain silent for a moment, hearing the Crusader's ultimatum. "You are not a commander of the Saranadi forces, and a civillian, get out while you still can.

Erika matched his eyes with her own, narrowing them as well. "Explain yourself-" she growled "why you follow a religion that worships a pedophilic monster."

"The same reason why you adhere to a God who forcibly impregnated a fifteen year old girl to bear his "Messiah"." Suleiman countered in kind, "Who rendered blind Paul of Tarsus because he followed the testament He issued. Who encouraged no defense of His early Church as they were fed to the Roman Lions in droves, and who allegedly rebuked His disciples for wanting to protect Him on Earth." His lecturing was cut short, as Rusthenian forces attempted to storm the Hotel. As soon as he could see this, he swore richly under his breath. "We will discuss this later, you will be taking the first airlift our of here-don't argue!" he cut any conversation short.

Staggering down into the entrance, he grabbed the nearest clean white cloth, and used it as an impromptu white flag, and hollered out. "Cease fire! Cease fire dammit!"

Sully abruptly found himself pulled back inside, and on the floor, with Erika sitting on his chest now dressed in her feldbluse again, pressing a knife to his throat.
"No. You will take the next flight out; after all, what is a nameless 12-year-old to the leader of the defense of Jerusalem?"

"What is a follows of a "pedophile prophet"..." he would grunt, and flip her over onto the ground and resume his path toward a the Crusader Forces. "To the lives of dozens of innocent civilians. As a Commander, I can bargain my life for safe passage of everyone else!"

She tripped him and pulled him back behind cover.
"Listen here, Sully. I'm goddamn dead weight. I'm a fucking illegitimate child, as far as I know my pap wanted to abort me, and my only-fucking talent"-at this point tears began welling up in her eyes-"Is shooting people. You?! You have a whole life ahead of you and so does everyone else in this lobby! Those Finns out there deserve a seat on the chopper out far more than I do! I don't care what you do, but I'm not letting a failed abortion take up the space of people who deserve a ride out!"
She limped off, tears streaming down her face, grabbed her rifle, and limped out fast as possible, taking up position behind a wrecked car and popping off shots.

[The Chuck]

Mamilla Hotel - Jerusalem Isratine
As the bombs and shells rained down on the Mamilla Hotel, Jennifer Johnson called together the medical staff and remaining roughnecks since many had been injured.

"Men and women, we currently are being attacked by a force that is breaching international law, they will not relent and so we must go with desperate measures. I believe that Richard Ware should attempt to get a signal out and ask President Sobchak and our countrymen and women to assist us in our hour of need. We have helicopters in the gulf but they have to many AA guns to get them through... If we were somehow able to disable the AA or get it to loosen up we could get helicopters through to evacuate this hotel. Any ideas?"

One of the older roughnecks raised his hand,

"Jennifer, when I was part of the military I worked in the Chemical, Biological, Radio-logical, and Nuclear department. We specialized in cleaning up any accidents or attacks of that sort. One thing many people don't realize is that if a nuclear device is detonated at a high altitude it tends to fry all electronics in the region below. This includes aircraft, targeting system, missiles, and the likes. If we were able to convince the people and the government to allow the launch of one nuclear missile to be detonated at high altitude we could possibly escape."

While his response hung in the air, Richard grabbed his camera gear and started broadcasting the imagery live. As he filmed he spoke from behind the camera, "President Sobchak and the people of The Chuck, I call upon you to assist your fellow countrymen and the defenseless from a brutal and savage tribe of barbarians who call themselves 'Crusaders'. They are no such thing, rather they are servants of the devil and should not be spared from your judgement. I ask that the government issues the activation codes and launches a nuclear missile into the atmosphere above us. Detonating this will generate an EMP field that will knock out the enemy defenses and allow us to evacuate this site."

As his pleas were being shown on TVs across The Chuck government officials moved with all haste, something that had never happened before. Within 10 minutes of his pleas reaching The Chuck a missile was ready for launch. There was only one problem... President Sobchak was nowhere to be found. Without Walter Sobchak issuing an activation code, no missile could launch. As they struggled to find him, a secretary in the Presidential Palace pulled out her phone and attempted to call him...

[Danceria]

"What is a follows of a "pedophile prophet"..." he would grunt, and flip her over onto the ground and resume his path toward a the Crusader Forces. "To the lives of dozens of innocent civilians. As a Commander, I can bargain my life for safe passage of everyone else!"

She tripped him and pulled him back behind cover.
"Listen here, Sully. I'm goddamn dead weight.

She limped off, tears streaming down her face, grabbed her rifle, and limped out fast as possible, taking up position behind a wrecked car and popping off shots.

Grabbing her arm, Sully would bring her close and look her in the eyes. "No, you are not a waste of life. Where I come from, the best case scenario would be shoveling cow shit and hoping that the Pagans don't decide to burn down my town. Now? Now I have a choice. Do I run away and seek further glory for myself? Or lay down my life so that others, yes, even you, have a chance to be something better."
If permitted, Sully would gradually hug her. "Tell your men to protect the injured, I will stall for as long as I can. If a bookworm nerd from some backwater village compared to the most powerful prepubescent the Almighty ever had the joy of creating isn't dead weight, I don't know what is..." A folded up notebook would be placed close to Erika's chest. "Get this to Fatimah Al-Ghaddaffi, and if she cries, tell her to remember 72:8-12. I don't have time to argue with you, and I can't risk other civilians by you wanting to go out in a blaze of glory. Erika..." he steadied himself with a sigh. "If my hospitality meant anything to you...swallow your pride, shoulder your rifle, and tell the Jaegers to get an evac, and protect it. Please..."

[The Chuck]

The Chuck
*Ding* Phones across The Chuck started dinging as texts were sent to each phone. Someone, no one knew who, had either found the codes or had cracked them. Either way the launch codes for the W.M.D.s in The Chuck were sent out. The centralized network that they were all linked to also sent a message stating that "These activation codes are only for 1 W.M.D. Someone please insert the codes and launch. The coordinates are already locked in." With that, somewhere in The Chuck a citizen punched in the codes and pressed the activation button. Within seconds a shaft of burning light was blazing skywards towards the heavens.

Mamilla Hotel - Jerusalem Isratine
"Yes! They did it! We have a launch from home! ETA is 4 minutes! Everyone get ready. Get everyone to the floor below the roof, we're getting out of here!" shouted Richard Ware as he shut his phone. With that the Mamilla Hotel began to bustle with life when moments earlier it looked like everything was dead.

Yayladağı Turkey
The battalion in Turkey was busy preparing their 24 transport helicopters. All crew members besides the pilots and the co-pilots would be left at the base and all weaponry was being stripped from them so they would be defenseless. However, the helicopters were going to be flying into Jerusalem immediately after the EMP detonated so no AA would be online.

Leviathan Gas Fields Mediterranean Sea - 2 miles off the coast of Isratine
The Slick Works Well Control Company roughnecks out in the gulf were busy preparing their own helicopters. There were about 1000 trapped people in the Mamilla Hotel and only 32 helicopters including those in Turkey. However, the fleet was close enough to the shore that they were going to ferry the trapped personnel from the Mamilla Hotel to the ships in the gulf in multiple passes since the AA guns being EMPed meant that they would be offline permanently. Within an hour they could shuttle all the refugees to the boats in the coast. Luckily the pro-Saradinian forces had naval ships that could protect the work ships too.

Once everything was ready they all waited. The helicopters were idling their engines and everyone was looking towards the sky above Jerusalem.

[The Chuck]

Jerusalem Isratine
The night sky was shattered by the bright blast of a 15kt nuclear warhead detonating 10 miles above Jerusalem. As the electromagnetic pulse spread it knocked out everything electrical in the city below. Radios stopped working, the last remaining lights blipped out, optical sights on rifles turned off, the city was cast into darkness.

Out in the gulf and in in Turkey the helicopters took off and headed for Jerusalem with throttles open wide.

[Danceria]

With the sky covered in darkness, Sully instinctively held her close. "Radio's fried..." he swore, taking back the notebook that he gave Erika long enough to scribble something down and give it to her. "Stay here, and do not fire."

Once more he called out to the attackers. "If you cease firing, I an willing to offer up the commander of the Islamic forces in exchange for safe passage of those in the Hotel."

[The Chuck]

As the helicopters flew over Jerusalem they were met with very little AA fire. Since it was the middle of the night it was hard for the 'crusaders' on the ground to spot them and shoot at them. It wasn't without issues though. Some crusaders were able to spot a helicopter or two and shot at them with small arms. No immediate damage was done however. As they came in for landing they were able to load up many of the injured and refugees first. As the first wave departed towards the coast Jennifer went looking for the 12 y/o girl that she had flown in a couple days prior.

[Saranidia]

Suleiman would remain silent for a moment, hearing the Crusader's ultimatum. "You are not a commander of the Saranadi forces, and a civillian, get out while you still can. Take Erika with you, she will once more be under the protection of the Khanate, and my last act as a Khan. See her escorted to Danceria, or the Commonwealth, or wherever she wishes. No harm is to come to her." His eyes narrowed to the young girl. "Allow me to speak with her for one moment, in private."

He would sigh. "I want you on the next airlift out of here, understand? Promise me you will follow my orders."

As soon as Fatimah would leave, Sully would hobble over to Erika, a dark aura preceding him. "Erika von Scarnhost." he would growl. "Explain yourself."

“Ok I will leave. Erika please come with me.”

[Ausinia]

They new it was risky, but it was their only choice. The three teams left behind managed to be unscathed in the ‘carpet bombing’ of the city, as the Ausinian media put it, and uncaptured. Perhaps they assumed everyone would be gone? The three teams of ten come together and formed one group of 30. Now stronger as a pack, they coordinated a plan for an assualt on a crusader air base. They also wanted to take Erika, if possible, she was to be taken as a POW, still.

“There is a base just east of here, it has two cargo helicopters, capable of carrying all of us. Unfortunately, we have no pilots, and none of them are trained to fly enemy helicopters. The plan is risky, but so is walking out of the city, it’s either that,more we plead with the ’slicks’ to take us out,” The lieutenant said, “Whose ready?”
“Me!” They yelled in unison, before preparing themselves to leave the holy city.

Australia offers support to Jerusalem in combating fundamental Islam

[Rusthenia]

Le Grande Offensive

In the fighting at the Hotel, the Crusader decided to rebegin their assault, their Grande Assault had began with orders to march to reclaim all of the holy land, then the Seuz Canal.

Jerusalem

Suleiman's shouting couldn't be heard as the battle raged, after some paratroopers jumped down onto the roof, the nuke exploded. and Rusthenia decided their was only one way to make sure they don't do it again.

Moscow, Rusthenia

"Vassili! Vassili!"
"What!"
"The chuckians have launched an ICBM above Jerusalem!"
"Order an Nuclear strike on Al Arish and Gaza City!"
"Why those cities?"
"Because we had all the Copts in Al Arish leave because of the naval invasion that won't happen now!"

at 12:00 the two ICBM (with the power of an Fat Man) are launched and at 12:30 they land in Gaza City and Al Arish
