King Sarkos IV steps out onto the balcony out in front of Tunchix palace, and gazes at the cheering crowd below. Television cameras point at him. Reinkalis at home watch through the TV screens. At Tosdoda harbour, the King's namesake ship, the flagship of the navy, HMS Sarkos stands proudly, with Maso Tunchix, the admiral of the fleet and heir apparent saluting from the stern. All three Royal Commanders stand before the crowd. South Reinkali flags wave, and a massive steel construction of the Tunchix coat-of-arms is held up by five men in the crowd. There is an unmistakably jubilant atmosphere, and Sarkos takes a moment to bask in it before tapping the microphone. The sound quickly causes the once roaring crowd to fall into silence. From the door, the Queen silently walks up beside the King.

'Reinkalis! Countrymen! Comrades! I stand before you today to deliver a message unto you, and to the world. For a long time, we have been preparing. Where there once stood hastily-organised militias, there is now a proud army, with proud Reinkalistani men serving in it. I would like to take this moment to congratulate each and every man in the army for making their country proud. I am humbled to have such individuals serve under me. We are not a state with an army, nor are we an army with a state. We are a people with an army! A people with a state!' Sporadic cheers erupt from the crowd. The King smiles. 'Yes. Truly, all of us owe these men a great debt, myself included. But as great as they are, congratulating them is not the sole purpose of my national address. For you see, it is time that South Reinkalistan made a move onto the national stage. It is time we began to look beyond our borders, as the great Deplukiriv Reinkal once did. We do not have a particularly large population. Our technology is not state-of-the-art. But what is a populace without spirit? Technology without willpower? Because I see both spirit and will in everyone gathered here today. Every Reinkali man and woman is imbued with the blood of warriors!' More cheers from the crowd. The King is speaking with more fervour now, gesturing wildly with his hands. 'And so, I tell you today, for I would not lie to my own subjects, that I will make sure that, ten years from now, South Reinkalistan will be twice the size it is today! The very presence of foreign nations on our borders, occupying land that is ours by birthright, is appalling. It disgusts me.' Murmurs of agreement ripple throughout the assembled Reinkalistanis. 'So I announce that from now on, that we shall no longer tolerate the presence of these nations! Through righteous Reinkali sword, fire and blood, we shall prevail. Tosdoda and Reinkal live within our hearts! These great men gave us hope! These great men gave us glory! But from now on, I will not be the sole one to deliver glory to South Reinkalistan. We Reinkalistanis will seize destiny as a collective! We are one! We are immortal! We are South Reinkalistan!' The King's fervour has now reached the crowd. They are in positive uproar, and the flags are waving and relativistic speeds. 'So I implore you all to take up arms! The road ahead shall not be easy! It will be excruciatingly difficult! But unlike our enemies, when faced with adversity, Reinkalistanis rise to the challenge! If there is an afterlife, then I have no doubt that the Great Men of old are smiling! For they know, as do I, and as do all of us, that South Reinkalistan shall not be suppressed! We shall be victorious, and we shall write history! Glory to the bold!'

The crowd has reached fever pitch. They begin to echo the nation's motto in a deafening chart. The King has a wide grin on his face. He puts his arm around his wife, and begins to walk back inside the palace. The HMS Sarkos begins to set sail, and the commanders retreat back to their stations. South Reinkalistan has openly declared their intention to subjugate the surrounding nations, and it remains to be seen what the international community will make of this. However, one thing is clear. The Reinkalistani people expect nothing less than absolute victory, something their King seems ready to deliver by any means necessary. As the sun sets over the Ontosu river, one thing is certain - South Reinkalistan shall never be the same again.

The Intergalactic Republic that is the Newark Aristocracy nearby declares war upon your nation,for violating the Geneva Convention.

*all of a sudden 300 Killsten class drop ships and 100 omega class starships warp into *unknown planet name*'s orbit.

If You Think You have seen true bloodshed,Get ready to turned into just rocks with blood on them.

The King does not recognize the violation of the Geneva convention here, and urges the international community to tackle this menace for declaring unjust war.

The omega class starships start to bombard the s**t out of reinkalistan as 100,000 troops armed with the latest in tech: G-937 Lasrifle
M-23 Meltagun
A-82 laspistol
Lastly,the JD-927 Hovertank.

(What,I am going FT for this.)

Posted: **Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:43 pm**

(Well, if we're going to play this overpowered-as-balls game, then I suppose, you know...)

The outnumbered Reinkalistani air force soars bravely into the sky, felling invader crafts and intercepting bombs. Meanwhile, the assassin squadron of the Royal Elite Corps begins to stalk the Newark ground base. Many prominent military officials turn up with slit throats. What's more is that the indiscriminate bombing mentioned 'Reinkalistan' not just 'South Reinkalistan', meaning that North Reinkalistan is also now in this war, doubling the strength of the Reinkalistani forces.

(Also, let's tally up the invading forces against the defenders. You invade with 100,000 men, while Reinkalistan has 175,000 in the south, and 150,000 in the north. While technologically outmatched, the sense of defending one's homeland almost counters this.)

OOC:I don't have a ground base yet.
IC:JD 937's were landing hard and fast. In just a hour,1000 tanks hit the ground.
Advanced Infantry made their way to the front lines,killing all who stood in their way.
The orbital bombardment was targeting the capital of Reikalistan,ready to fire.
As AP73 AAA lasers opened up,it seemed the war was going to be quick and dandy.

Posted: **Tue Jun 04, 2019 12:58 pm**

OOC: My bad, just assumed.

Tally so far is 270,000 on the Reinkali side, 90,000 on the Newark. Losses begin to rack up, both Reinkali nations initiate conscription.

A zealot-class warhead is fired at the orbital bombardment structure, escorted by three Tunchix fighter. It exits the atmosphere, by which point it is too late for it to be intercepted. The bombardment is severely delayed. One Tunchix was lost.

Meanwhile, the Newark ground forces are beginning to encounter guerilla opposition. The capital is safe for now, and the barren deserts of South Reinkalistan are too difficult to be crossed, while the hardy elite corps pick off soldiers. It appears that this isn't the curbstomp the Newark were expecting. This is looking to be a long and bloody conflict.

As 2000 more dropships came loaded with 9 Million troops with 20,000 JD 937s droped their men and equipment,100 more Omega class starships warp to the fleet to resume orbital bombardment.

//You could've just voided him

Veise generally considered any other nation that breathed the same air it breathed to be unimpressive and forgettable, and that bothering with it was a waste of its time. This condescending attitude gave Veise a comfy isolation aside from Veise's trading partners who it remained cordial with. Veise wasn't a neighbor of Reinkalistan, nor was it a neighbor's neighbor, and so on; nor did Reinkalistan actually threaten any of its favorite trading partners or its few overseas territories. Veise thus was not a potential enemy of Reinkalistan. Nevertheless, the public announcement of Reinkali belligerence to its neighbors warranted some kind of statement.

A message from...
The White Kingdom of Veise

We at Veise officially do not advocate or condone imperialism or a mind of great conquest, and officially condemn the actions of South Reinkalistan. However, this pales in comparison to the brutal nature of the Newark state which has resulted in civilian casualties, and we condemn the Newark Aristocracy. We also remind the Newark Aristocracy that to enforce the Geneva Convention -- which Veise has not signed -- it is wise to follow the Geneva Convention as well. In its attack, the armies of the Aristocracy have already violated a plethora of the treaties' regulations and rules, long before the imperialist forces of South Reinkalistan could do anything immoral unjust of their own.

Veise has no business nor does it seek business in that region of the world, but will respond with extreme violence if the conflict approaches its borders or the borders of her treaty trading partners. It is, once again, not a signatory of the Geneva Convention, and thus is not required to follow any armament laws nor is it afraid to use anything available in order to maintain the safety of its borders. With that being said, unprovoked, Veise will remain idle. Before you may ask, Veise will not sell war materials, armaments, or any of the sort to either side, and this is non-negotiable.

Signed,
His Royal Majesty, the Argent King of the White Kingdom of Veise

This all seems to be a bit of an overreaction, goes through the mind of a wounded Reinkali soldier as he is blasted to pieces.

With no other choices, the remaining four warheads are fired. Most of the approaching dropships are destroyed, as new warheads are hastily constructed. Meanwhile the orbital bombardment regards that King Sarkos be moved a secure bunker, and most of the population are given backyard defence structures. The Renkali spirit is not yet broken. Conscription means that many patriotic young men are in the ranks now. The deserts are uncrossable, and most of the new reinforcements new to the terrain are quickly mowed down by the Royal Elite corps. The top killer has reportedly scored another 65 confirmed kills in this conflict so far. Only the veterans of the invasion force are remained, in brutal conflict with the defenders. The orbital threat is averted for now, and currently the North Reinkali nuclear stockpile is yet to be fired, numbering 6 warheads.

Tally:
Reinkalistan: 500,000 (Numbers increased because of conscription)
Newark: 350,000 (Numbers increased because of reinforcement, although much was lost)

Posted: **Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:16 pm**

More dropships approached and dropped their load of 9m troops and 100,000 JD 927s as Omega Class starships bombarded the warhead production sites.

Posted: **Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:27 pm**

OOC: I would believe it would be more realistic if we both announce a beginning offensive/military operation one turn before it actually happens, meaning that in fairness we can prepare, such as your immediate dropship stunt. I'll let that slide, but in the name of mutual fairness... cmon man.

While warhead production is stalled, the North Reinkalistanis fire their remaining arsenal at the dropships and approaching troops. We are now out of warheads. No matter. The remaining Newark ground troops are failing, and they cannot keep their resupply forever. It will make their populace lose faith. The deserts are now somehow even more scarred with conflict - the Reinkalistani nations are holding their own. Heroic stories are reaching the front of brave charges by their Reinkalistani comrades.

Tally:
Reinkalistan: 550,000 (recruitment beginning to stall, major losses on the front)
Newark: 370,000 (unprepared recruits cause losses. Oh, and warheads)

King Sarkos sends a message:
My friend, it may be time to end this war. Remove your forces - both nations cannot keep this up forever. The conditions are simple. Leave us ten of your Omega-Class starships. That is a price I feel you can pay for the suffering you have caused. The hypocrisy you have displayed in your actions is reprehensible, although if you agree all will be forgotten.

Wordlessly breaking their promise to not get involved, a small force of Veiser air power approaches the borders of Reinkalistan. They were a few mighty airship cruisers armed with all sorts of fantastic weapons, escorted by a swarm of smaller, swifter airships rolled in. They were ready to open great fire with their direct energy weaponry, but against whom?

We agree to the terms of peace and are willing to concede 30 dropships,800 tanks,200 droppods,all land tooken,and 10 starships of the Omega class.
We are willing to start a Muteal defense pact with your nation,providing you with advisors and instruction on how to produce the equipment that our forces use.
In return,we want a small amount of land to the tune of 6*8 miles that has no people of Reinkalistani ethnicity that is on the coast.

OOC: Newark... please read the stickies before posting again. Your noobishness is painful the read. I know you can write better then this. @Reinkalistan- loved the first post... I would suggest a reset.

Posted: **Tue Jun 04, 2019 3:06 pm**

OOC: Reinkalistan - To add on to Arab-Canada's suggestion, I would suggest that your new thread title restrict your RP's tech level (which appears to be MT) to what you want to deal with, unless you're *really* up for having high-powered aliens appearing in your orbit/skies and blasting you.

"MT Only" is indeed a big spoilsport for us FT nations who enjoy the thought of riding over our technological inferiors with our vast powers, but you may find that you want to RP as something other than an instantly-pwned colony of whoever can post first.
