Imperial Senate, Defense Meeting
Official Statement Regarding Bombings in Liberated Free Nations
Brought to the table by: Liberated Free Nations Sen, Dimitri Rascovich
Status: Passed

The border towns of the Imperial Nation of the Liberated Free Nations was once more brought under attack after peace in the region of the former nation Astrakhan. Thousands of innocent people were displaced, killed and or lost a family member. As the Senator in the Imperial Senate for the Astrakhan region I move that more funding be pumped into the Liberated Free Nations Defense Force and having a stronger Imperial Armed Forces Presence in the nation.

What will be accomplished if this is passed.
-Provide the Liberated Free Nations Defense Comity to properly expand our military bases and anti air control, while also installing better weather installations in the Astrakhan region,
-Would fund the proper completion of Astrakhan City Airport/Airbase. A civil/military project started not long after the Imperial take over that is well over 60% completed. When the runway is complete there will be a airfield with the power to provide proper air transportation for civilians to the region. As well as being able to properly defend the airspace.

- Stronger Imperial Air Force Presence would provide us with the ability to properly defend our airspace.

Signed: Senator Dimitri Rascovich

Three IDF Soldiers patrolling the remains of Uglich, A small border town hit in the attacks.

PFC. Karl Drami, 4th IDF 5th Infrantry. Patrolling Uglich.

He held his M4a1 in one hand as he strolled with two other soldiers. The town was deserted. There was a snow storm passing through the region that had started only a night after the bombings. They had tried their best to help the people they found in the snow, Yesterday they had come across a entire family, frozen solid... just sitting in what remained of their living room huddled together trying to stay warm. He shuddered just thinking about that... He moved over to a ally wall to light a cigarette as the other soldiers continued to move slowly. One removed his flask and took a large gulp of its contents.

Whisky brother, would you like some?... it will keep you warm. Said the highest ranking of the group. Maj, Ra Rascochovik. A former LFN fighter who had stayed in the IDF for the pure love of fighting. He was the embodiment of a true communist man, from back when the nation was. He drank like a thirsty bear. Smoked more than a factory and would fight to the death. Sometimes it was thought that he was sad he had not died to the Imperial Army... or the bomb...

No thank you. I will stick with this for now, when we get back to HQ. He said slowly. He turned on his heel and looked back slowly as they all heard rustles coming from the back of the ally. The two men crept up slowly while the third stayed back and looked the other direction making sure they would not be snuck up on.

Halt, Who's there! he said. Saying it in english instead of Russian. They turned the corner... Instead of finding one of the various smugglers what they found were two children. One looked to be fourteen or fifteen. The other much younger. Karl stood in his footsteps... He then crouched down slowly lowering the rifle and removing his helmet, hood and snow mask.

(In German) Dont worry children we will help you. We are the good guys here, Where is your family?
the oldest, a girl stared up at him.
(In German) Dead, our house was hit directly... we were at the store and couldn't find anywhere to go. He looked momentarily at the scared children before getting on his radio.
Alpha 1, Overlord?
Go, Alpha 1
We have found two children affected by the attack. Could you possibly send a truck I will ping my location.
10-4 en route to your location
he then turned back
(In German) We will help you dont worry. We have a truck coming we will take you to the base.
(In German) Thank you

The truck came and picked the five up. Taking them back to the Hq, A cement building with a perimeter wall where they could properly accommodate the two girls until the Imperial Officer came to take them to Seve City.

Očijel (Eifelstern) District, Sjovenia

Cpt. Samuel Everett, D Co, 1st Airborne Regiment

They had landed in the Eifelstern District four days ago and have been training with the local forces to acclimate to the environment and the fighting style of this conflict. It was a learning curve for many of the leadership in the regiment as this would be the nation's first peer to peer conflict since the war of independence. They have been training with the 909th Training battalion these past few days and one thing they have harped on it anti-armor and anti-air weapons systems. In Brinn those weapons systems were from the '50s and '60s but here it is top of the line and used by most powers in the world. In a few day's time they would be on the front against the bolshevik threat.

Several command meetings with local leadership have already decided the first operation and airborne assault on a city that controls a major bridge into communist territory. If they were to seize the bridge it would allow access to a major road system giving Trekkish, and Sjovenian forces greater mobility in the east. Four rifle companies have been selected, and training on combat jumps would begin tomorrow.

With requests from its allies on Aels barnopea which up till this point in time has been neutral but providing support to its allies mostly in the shape of ammunition and fuel and in the case of one Rhamosian Ship a new propeller, has decided to join the Rough Ales Coalition in the support of the NFLN the government has ordered a Taskforce to be made ready to sail as soon as possible.

Nadensburg The white palace the Barnopea parliament

A statement by the Barnopean Prime Minister Evan Redmund
"My fellow Barnopeans it is with great sadness I must announce that our nation has been called to war once more.
As many of you know the have been an atrocious Nerve gas attack In the NFLN.
Our Monarchs dear cousins the Kingdom of Rhamos, and the Empire of JVP and our loyal ally Raltirian Denethier have asked for our assistance In prosecuting their campaign against those,
who have committed this heinous and hateful act.
As such this government on behalf of our monarch will be ordering the large scale deployment of this nations armed forces in support of our allies."

General Arroyo's made final approach into the Joint Aels Airfield in a quick and graceful combat landing. Ever since the attempted missile attack on the base every precaution and countermeasure was strictly observed and adhered too in the chance another attack were to happen. The rapid decent combined with the intervals of G force producing maneuvers was enough to make even seasoned flyers nauseous and Arroyo was now different as he steadied himself against the seat and clenched his teeth as he anxiously awaited the plane to finally touch down.

Several anxious minutes later, what felt like eternity, he was finally able to relax as the planes wheels screeched to life beneath him having made contact with the tarmacs pavement allowing him to exhale a breath that he didn't realize he was holding. This sort of flying was why he had elected to join the army over the airforce. Gathering his small assortment of bags he waited now half impatiently as the aircraft taxied to its designated spot on the runway and began its short list of post flight procedures before it could disembark its passengers. With another short interlude of waiting behind him, Arroyo was finally allowed off and out into the fresh air now fully able to view the organized chaos that reigned around him.

Vehicles, Soldiers, and equipment all going this way and that as cargo planes were unloaded a feverish pace and commanders attempted to herd their soldiers around like cats. It was truly a sight to behold and he was half impressed that no one had gotten run over yet let alone injured. However, he was prevented from further musings upon the scene as he was quickly swarmed by a retinue of staff officers and aids as they rushed to fill him on the latest events, those that were planned to come as well as a myriad of other things both important and trivial. Sorting through the jumbled mess he quickly picked out the most pressing questions, dispatched relevant answers and guidance before pushing his way through the crowd and sending them on their ways. The most important thing at the moment was to make contact with the NLFN representatives and begin some form
of coordinating this bloody war finally.

Spotting the waiting NLFN rep and his vehicles, Arroyo made his way over with a few aids he had brought with him as well as his personal security detail in tow. A brief greeting was exchanged between the two and the first snag was already hit when the man insisted that the PSD had to leave their weapons behind. While Arroyo could understand the mans concern, the weapons and security detail were for everyone's security as well. Doing his best to try to talk his way around the problem, he attempted to explain to the man that the nature of the NLFN's recent conquest meant that it was possible for insurgents to be a threat along with enemy special operations. If this of course would not be an acceptable answer, he at least asked that they be allowed to keep their personal side arms as being completely defenseless in a war zone was not something that anyone would be okay with and the man would hopefully at least understand that.

---------------------------------------------------

In the skies approaching Treko airspace, the joint Rhamosian-Denni strike group moved in on their approach vectors having carefully mapped out the best path to take into hostile airspace to minimize their exposure to the enemy ADN. The information provided by ELINT and SIGINT satellites had allowed the mission planners to plot a route into Treko that would keep the group from being exposed to enemy ground based radar installations. This combined with the absolute signals blackout being observed by the aircraft along with their stealthy nature as well as the low altitude they were utilizing to penetrate the Treko airspace aimed to give the strike every possible advantage.

Upon crossing into Treko airspace the accompanying EW aircraft activated their full suite of EW countermeasures on full power creating a signals blackout for some distance around aircraft further enhancing the chances of successfully releasing their ordnance before the Trekkies could figure out what was happening. If everything played out right, by the time they were able to respond, the strike group would already be on their way out of the country.

Re: Implementation of Resolution 003

To whom it may concern,

We have been granted permission to begin establishing a deconfliction center within Entenmark. The primary purpose of this center will be to provide a rapid and reliable means of communication between all parties. To facilitate the center's primary objective, we request that all parties establish or provide a means of communicating with the center in a rapid manner.

Rose Hegarty, Dreyfus-Husaren, Travestapol, Anavokya

The trip to Anavokya had been swift and uneventful. But now, having arrived in-country, the hard part has begun. Markion Union Force Anavokya, at least what little had arrived now, had to make an arduous road march to the northernmost safe zone of Brovelik. This daunting task did not bother Rose and her crew, as they had undertaken similar road marches on exercises. What concerned them more was that they, along with everyone else, had been issued chemical warfare gear.

They had not considered the possibility of being gassed while on this mission, but it seemed command was taking no chances after what happened in Yetrograd. They had all heard the news reports of what had happened there. And with the long trip to the north, they would have plenty of time to imagine what lay in their future.

Task Force Halo, Off the Amerian Coast

It had taken substantially longer than expected to marshal the rest of the forces to deploy to Anavokya. Still, at last, the rest of Markion Union Force Anavokya was on its way. This journey, however, would be substantially longer than the one undertaken by the vanguard. Doctrine mandated that the maximum top speed of the task force was that of its slowest ship. For Task Force Halo with its Roll-On/Roll-Off and Troop Ships, that was a plodding 22 knots.

The Battle of Levensk Ends

All across the great battle line in north Anavokya, the Trekkish forces were pushed back. Either by tactical retreat or simply being crushed by Anavokyan forces, the CDP’s allies have completely pulled back from the fighting along the Anavokyan border for the time being. In South Stravel, much the same has happened with the massive CDP attack along the entire northern South Stravene border being repelled by a much smaller force. The death toll for the CDP and its allies has not yet been counted but is rising. Meanwhile, NLFN forces celebrate their victory all across the country, with state media publishing newspapers telling of the heroic defence for those lost in the gassing of Yetrograd, currently mostly uninhabitable. Those of the old LFN have shown solidarity with their new compatriots with the recent chemical attack in a video posted on social media outlets, calling out the world for allowing the CDP and its allies to continue on the warpath.

Sjovenian Perspective
Battle of Levensk, Stravel

Special Air Squadron Operators licensed for CAS began doing comms checks with the Ni-10 pilots.

“Hate 2-7 this is Nomad 4-6, confirm grid points 10 tango echo sierra 7-7-2-9 heading: west?”

“Nomad 4-6...Lima Charlie....heading west to east confirm visualization of targets?”

The SAS Operators began setting up a nine line. After a few minutes the Ni-10 Pilot radioed in “Cleared hot?”

“Golf Tango Golf Cleared Hot!”

The Aircraft zeroed in and aimed its nose at the target. The HUD cross hairs slowly weaves back and forth before resting on its target. The pilot squeezed the trigger and a deafening BRRRRRRT reverberated throughout the air. Both friendly and enemy troops felt the vibrations through their soul. “GODDAMN THAT WAS GOOD” shouted the ACC over comms. “Requesting re-attack?” The Pilot asked. “Go for re-attack!” The Pilot circled back around preparing for a second strafing run.

The Special Air Squadron’s Group 6 (14th SAS) was deployed to Stravel to conduct direct action, recon, and close air support. Only members who passed QA in a Group were licensed to be Air Combat Controllers. There was roughly 8 ACC’s in the 14th SAS deployed to Stravel.

“That was some accurate grids...who’s calling shots?” The pilot asked over the radio. The ACC calling in CAS responded “Hate 2-7 this is Nomad 4-6, name’s Sgt. Mira Noškova”

However, the celebrations of the NLFN were cut short as the Sjovenian army pushed forward in one location in the CDP attack on South Stravel. A large force of Sjovenians, supported by even more soldiers from the CDP broke through in Levensk province. The ensuing combat allowed the Trekkish to push forward and invade South Stravel and occupy territory. Remaining NLFN army units in the area have begun a fullscale retreat with any forces trapped behind enemy lines either going to group or fighting to the last man. With this first movement of borders since the beginning of the war, the NLFN's strategy is now changing. The bulk of NLFN troops are now entering a redeployment phase and rerouting supplies and forces to the Stravene front and the Sevevillian front. Meanwhile, the Trekkish Cossacks were sent to secure the new occupied territories.

Trekkish Perspective
Somewhere in CDP Occupied South Stravel
Sgt. Gavriil Herascov, Trekkish Cossacks

He rode atop his mighty elk. It had been some time since Gavriil had been allowed to simply ride. With the wind in his face and cold air in his lungs, freedom like this needed to be savoured lest it be cut off early by high command. At his side was an entire squad of Cossacks, all enjoying the glide across the flat steppes of Stavel as the elk got their day's exercise in. It was not long before the squad came upon their target, a large village, but looked more like a sea of tents. They were all gathered round a reservoir. Some folk came to great them, but they were not enthused. As Gavriil finally came to a stop he greeted the Stravene in the local native tongue.

"Fear not good folk of the still proud nation of Stravel, you have been liberated by United Federation of Treko and its supporting allies in the CDP and Sjovenia!" The small crowd was silent. The Trekkish sergeant didn't expect a lavished welcome but nor did he expect nothing, a small half-smile from some of the crowd would have been enough. But the Trekkish rider dismounted his war elk and raised his voice. "Where is your mayor? Or equivalent leader? We must discuss terms of helping this village." After a short while and some mumbling, a man stepped forward and put his hand up, nodding. Gavriil came close, "hello there good man, the Trekkish army is here to help in whatever way we can." The village leader gave the half-smile Gavriil was looking for, but it quickly faded as he spoke. "They're... not coming back are they?" Sergeant Herascov was confused. "No, the NLFN will be pushed back and Stravel will be free again." He said proudly, but the Stravene man suddenly looked troubled.

"I don't mean them," he looked behind Gavriil as if checking for someone, "I mean the old Stravene government?" Herascov's confusion was even greater with those words. What does he mean? We wiped out those communist oppressors and he's asking if the previous government is NOT coming back? As if that would be a good thing? "I'm sorry, but perhaps it would be better if we continued this..." Gavriil looked around, "In your tent?" He said with some confusion. The Stravene man nodded and asked some people to tend to the elks while the rest of the Trekkish dismounted. As the Cossacks made their way through the tent village, they were almost confused to see many people keeping to themselves, cooking a midday meal or just going about their day in general. Gavriil even saw a large tent that appeared to be filled to the brim with Anavokyan army issue rations. They must have given the commies a good thrashing.

After a while, the Trekkish sergeant finally came one on one with the Stravene local leader. "You don't seem to be lacking in food, Jurg, and your people seem quite content... been raiding the communists I take it?" Jurg, the local leader, giggled. "No. We could barely defend ourselves against the old government. what makes you think we could defend ourselves against the communists?" He took a large bite out of a sausage that had just finished cooking. Gavriil looked puzzled, "how did you get all this food then," he motioned at his own full plate of meat, cheese and bread, "I saw that massive storage tent filled with Anavokyan rations, how did that all suddenly appear?" Jurg simply finished his mouth full and turned to speak. "The communists gave it to us." Gavriil's reply was a frowning face, so Jurg spoke up again, "They actually prioritised us over their army, y'know? We got the first shipments of rations then received more after that." Jurg drank some tea. "I couldn't believe it myself, but I promise I'm not lying when I say that the people of my village actually celebrated when they saw NLFN trucks coming towards our village. I never thought I'd see the day when I was happy to see the Free Liberation Army!"

But as well as all this, the Sjovenians had an ace up their sleeve...

Sjovenian Perspective
Lavribor Harbor, Stravel

The Special Maritime Operators disembarked from their craft. Weapons drawn they began to walk against the coastal wall of the port, hugging the wall they checked their corners.

“Tango 10 meters” an Operator said as he checked through his weapon’s sights. 10 meters away an Anavokyan soldier was staring into the woods adjacent him, back to the water, he stood there with a cigarette burning between his fingers.

Sneaking quietly the Operators covered their teammate while he walked behind the soldier. Reaching for his knife he quickly grabbed the mans mouth and dug the knife into his throat before slitting it across. Blood poured out immediately as the man’s gurgles and gasps were muffled by the operators hand. Easing him down he drug the body to a bush. Wiping his bloodied knife on the corpse he said “Poor bastard...”. Grabbing some foliage he covered the body some more before sheathing his knife and picking up his weapon.

“Undo that twine” a voice came in comms. Two operators began quietly undoing and cutting the wires of the chain link fence while a third started to pull from the bottom lifting it up. The Special Maritime Operations Group infiltration team started filing into the port one by one.

Lavribor Harbour, a stronghold for the NLFN and capital of Levensk province was attacked under cover of darkness. Their communications were sabotaged, early warning systems destroyed and their command post was breached and cleared for valuable intelligence. The agents made it out but not without a hitch and were fired upon, their casualties are unknown. This was a significant blow to the NLFN, not only had their defensive line been broken but one of their largest garrisons was now under siege. An entire brigade of Anavokyan troops now fought for their lives behind enemy lines, cut off entirely from their own forces and allies. The Free Liberation Army quickly sprung to action, while the Sjovenians began the next part of their plans.

Sjovenian Perspective
61st Field Army HQ, Slaveška/Stravel Border

A Captain stood in front of the Field Commander’s desk. The Commander finished looking at his email before turning his attention to the Captain who immediately snapped to Attention. “At ease” the Commander said before taking a sip of his coffee. “What’s going on?” He asked as the Captain took a seat. “Sir, I had some questions regarding the treatment of POWs and those affected by the war from the civilian populace.”

The Commander nodded itched his chin before responding. “Well...treat all POWs as we normally would. Question them but don’t do anything to cause serious harm or death. Take care of the injured. Those able to work will be put to work...I know plenty of farmers in Stravel that could use the extra laborers. As for the civilians affected....set up an aid station in the nearby town and render first aid to those who need it. I’ll work with the Rail Corps Commanding Officer to see about getting extra supplies for food to issue out. Maybe we can get any POWs we may manage to capture to help rebuild the areas affected by war but don’t count on a lot of bodies....rumor is we have 15 POWs currently 6 of which are injured. The enemy is almost fighting to the last man. As we push further into Stravel we may gather more....eventually the Minister of Foreign Affairs will want to start rebuilding the infrastructure in the surrounding area to help Stravel Citizens get back on their feet. Have some of your men go out and see what the locals may need a hand with. It isn’t much but it’s a start. I’ll draft up the Operational Plan, as soon as you get it disseminate it to all your folks.” The Commander and Captain stood up. The Captain rendered a salute and then about faced.

Now was the time for the NLFN to beat back the invaders... or was it too late?

Rabbit Family

The past few days for Rabbit family had been eventful. There was the attack by Roma forces, lucky for Rabbit family, they were not at camp for the first waves of attack. Unlucky for Rabbit family, they were at the Naval base watching the late night naval battle. They watched as the Destroyer Arcano went up in flames, and knew this would not be an easy deployment.

The next day was filled with clean up, and Rabbit family running a very special convoy, escorting the reminds of the dead sailors that could be recovered, to an awaiting transport jet that would take them home. They then helped in forming the honor guard line that stretched from the ramp of the jet, to were each APC would park to unload the dead.

When the first bag was unloaded, the line of knights went to attention, their weapons out in front as they saluted the dead. A knight at the head of the line read aloud the name of the dead sailor, before they were loaded into the plane.

"Sailor Beso. By the Queens grace, do I release you from duty. Sailor Ye-Jun. By the Queens grace, do I release you from duty."

It was not until the third body was unloaded and walked down the line to the jet, then did some knight start to sing.

"I close my eyes." The Knight began, his deep rich baritone voice, breaking the silence. "tell us why must we suffer." A tear rolled down this knights eye, but his voice held, and soon other knights joined in.

"Release your hands, for your will drags us under." rose the collected voice of the knights gathered, as they song for the souls of their fallen brothers and sisters.

"Sailor Nika. By the Queens grace, do I release you from duty." Spoke the Knight, as he tried to call out the names of the dead, over the collected voice of the knights.

"My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander." The knights sung loudly, as more and more bodies enter the jet, and the narrating knight finally giving up and joining in on the singing.

"How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?" Everyone knew the song, it was the national song of the empire, it spoke of their peoples flight from Joseon when the Japanese invade, how they made home among their Veldoric brothers, how they yearn to reclaim their homeland. It spoke of those that died and wear not buried in the soil they were born in. But more impotently it gave a voice to the displaced people, that they would one day reclaim their lands and that their last feeling, would be the warm embrace of their native soil.

The Knights sung for the peace of the fallen, and only when the last body was loaded, did the knights stop, give a final salute, and move away from the plane.

Later that night Jasper gave his men some on base leave, and he watched as the twins bee lined to were the Lioness twins had been waiting. Jasper just shook his head and hoped the damn fools brought some protection. The rest of his family stayed close, as they cleaned their weapons, looked over their gear, and made preps for tomorrows mission. The Zarhad Brotherhood, had finally got two of their Jobaria in country, among some of their other bigger gun pieces that could not be flown in.

Already one of those big beasts was setting up in an empty side of the air field. A ring of AA guns around it. Jasper knew a little about the toy that the Zarhad raved about. They were the only unit to have them, and they had 6 in total, with another six in the works as they claimed. He always rolled his eyes at that part. Give him a few good comet Storms, and he would be happy. Which, to his surprise, he seen a few being parked in the JVP motor pool.

He figured once the Rhamosian forces had gotten all their tanks in, and were ready to move, then the real war would begin. He knew the JVP mission here was to support Aels allies with long range support, and counter fire. But he knew him and his family would some how make it to the front line.

Already word of the NLFN victory in the North had made it's way to camp, but bad news always followed, and the defeat and full retreat of the NLFN in the South Stravel section had most of the leadership talking.

But what worried Jasper the most, was a rumor of a nuclear explosion in the region. He did not have all the details, as it was talked about in hush whispers, but he figured it was nothing good.

At his briefing the next day, Jasper learned of peacekeepers at Travestapol and was given a small book that would denote the symbols, patches, and markings of the Peacekeeping units. He was also told to give aid if needed, but to not get in their way. He noted that they would most likely not be operating within his area, but the He knew that sights for FOB's were being looked at, and some would place them closer to the western zone.

But none of that bothered him today. His family was tasked with moving North and scouting out an area between here and the City of Oteroviko, for a future fire base, to support NLFN forces in the north.

"Look alive boys." Jasper said, as he laid out the mission before them. "Should be few days in the field, will set up a camp outside of Oteroviko, but will have no personal leave there." He said, looking at Jenkins. "No throwing rocks." He said, as he watched the twins slowly walk towards the group.

"About fucking time you got here." He said, as he looked over their sunken faces and dark rings under their eyes. "The hell. You two look like death." He said, as he looked over to where Lioness Family was getting their briefing. He made note of the youthful look on their twins faces, and then looked back to his twins. "Fuck. They need to rename their family to Succubus, cause those two drained you idiots dry." He watched as the twins forced a weak smile and tried to high five each other. Jasper narrowed his eyes and made a mental note to keep them away from those girls, but then throw it in the pile of other notes that read the same thing.

"anyways, life force sucking women aside. We'll be gone for a few days. If we are lucky, we can take a trip into town to learn about the locals and exchange some currency. I want to add to my collection." he looked over his family. "Mounted up, same trucks. Rotate the twins out in the gunner spots. Other then that. Eyes out, mind focus. We shoot straight, and Jinkins always buys the beer." The touched helmets, and said something about rabbits always come first.

Rose Hegarty, Dreyfus-Husaren, On the road to Brovelik, Anavokya

The long trip north had left everyone restless, Rose more so than everyone else. What worried her the most was the storm that she and the rest of the Dreyfus-Husaren were driving into. What would happen if the Trekkish Army achieved a breakthrough in the north and marched on Brovelik? Would they respect the safe zone, and what if they didn’t? With only one brigade in the city, she and the rest of the Husaren would have to withdraw or surrender at worst.

“Oh, Rose, what have you got yourself into this time,” she said and then let out a small chuckle and then a sigh as she continued to think about their precarious situation. If she could even call it that, her brigade consisted of two grenadier battalions and one tank company in fighting strength.

“We are beyond fucked if this goes sideways,” she said, rolling her eyes as she did so, then tried to take her mind off the situation at hand. She thought back to when her friend, Ruby Vitali, visited her before she deployed. Despite losing her left eye and being forced to use a cane to get around, after a bomb blast while on assignment as a Regional Investigator for the Markion Aid and Development Project (MADP), Ruby still managed to be upbeat and chipper.

Despite being only nine years Rose’s senior, Ruby did not look like she was going on forty, but looked more like she was pushing sixty. The greying of her hair, the deep creases in her face were signs that the loss of her star pupil, Écorce Verglas, had begun to take its toll. Just knowing that Éco had died in the same blast that had maimed her was not indeed what haunted her, but the fact that Éco, having inadvertently saved her life, was now dead, and here she stood, broken yet alive.

Survivors’ guilt is what they called it, and Ruby knew that it should have been her and not Eco that died that day weighed heavy on the heart. The nightmares of that fateful day did nothing to help her. But she knew Eco would have wanted her to keep on living, to keep on smiling, and this is what she would do.

Rose knew this more than anyone; she helped console both Ruby and Erika at the memorial held for Eco.

Éco’s death had hit Rose hard, but not as hard as the others. Rose had buried friends before, and she knew the pain they felt.

During her early years in the army, a piece of faulty ammunition had exploded, killing two of her platoon mates and maiming another. It happened so fast, like a quick flash. One second, they are there, and the next, gone. Plans to play cards and eat chow that would never happen.

Ruby had come to see Rose off before she deployed and to bring Rose a message. The MADP would most likely be heading to Drejveška sometime soon, as the crisis looked to intensify, and Ruby would more than probably be going with them. But before Ruby departed, she had asked something of Rose, something that Rose wasn’t sure she could honor.

“Just come back; I don’t know if I can bury any more friends.”

Rose wasn’t sure how to respond to that, but now that she was in Drejveška, heading toward Brovelik, she began to think of her answer.

“I will Ruby.”

As they had begun to enter the far outskirts of the city, the far-off crack of artillery began to stalk their advance. Meanwhile, overhead jets screamed amongst the clouds, and sonic booms punctuated the air as the war for the sky raged. Back on the ground, the road ahead had begun to choke with refugees fleeing the Trekkish advance. Rose repeated her words to herself, her last promise to Ruby. “I will Ruby.”

Zarla Korvort

The battle of Levensk was a hard-fought battle and hopefully, the last battle her people would have to endure. Her General Marshals have routed more troops to Stravel, while fortifying the northern front. The cease of operations had given our forces time to recover and refit. The Stravene theatre was now the pivotal front, if they win here she hoped she could sue for peace and reform the country she grew up in, and that many longed to return. In a few day's time she was to meet with the Markion Union in Avibéliard in the Kingdom of Allusia.

She has been preparing her speech for days, and she hoped that this could force peace talks wit the GDU. She feared the Trekkish would drag this on, more than it needed to be. Those stubborn fools have killed thousands with their blind hatred. Zarla hoped the MU missions would tame the Trekkish enough for peace to break out. The People's Army was still ready to fight, but she wanted to save as many lives as possible. The people of the former USSA wanted the union to return, and they could do this and finally bring peace to her people.

ANN: Markion Union Mission officially launches in Drejveška

Today marks the beginning of the Markion Union Mission in Drejveška(MUMD), and the Markion Union Mission Phönixeja(MUMP), with Arcadian peacekeepers in Stravel being reflagged to MUMD command, with two more brigades on the way. The Arcadian peacekeepers will be joining peacekeepers with the A&S who have been setting up aid centers around the region. The Arcadian detachment in the MUMD based in Camp Geyer has petitioned the Stravene government to expand the camp to an airbase to support the MUMD. The Stravene government has approved of the request with the camp already working on expanding the camp. With the forces in the Republic of Stravel any patrols have been halted. The 17th Sustainment and Support Brigade has already arrived in Camp Geyer with 1st and 3rd Brigades of the 6th Fallschirmjäger Division arriving within the week.

The Markion Union in Phönixeja has also been officially launched with the 222nd Airborne Brigade, based in Engelmann Kaserne has been reflagged to the Markion Union with the 7. Kavallerieregiment being sent to the country within the week. The MUMP will be deployed to the Xexniyan border to stop any Phönixejian forces front launching any assaults. The commandant of the MUMP Brigadier General Günther Eisenmenger has announced that any continued violence will be met with reasonable force to halt any further attacks, and has encouraged the Phönixejian to recognize Xexniya as an independent nation. General Eisenmenger has also called for leaders of both sides to come together for peace talks at the end of the month.

The Arcadian commitment to the Markion Union has been solidified as the congress of nations voted in favor of diplomatic intervention. This was struck by a compromise with both sides in Congress when the vote on war was defeated in the House of Commons.

ANN Breaking News: Markion Union: Mission to Anavakya calls for a cease fire and a peace conference between all parties in the conflict

MUMA leadership has called for all sides to begin a cease-fire and begin peace talks to end the conflict that has been raging for the past few months. The peace conference will be located on neutral ground that all parties involved will agree on under MU supervision and the ceasefire will be enforced by MU peacekeepers. Near moments after the NFLN has expressed desires for peace, and all of its former territories to come back into the Aanvokyan state. With the possibility of the cease-fire, the MUMA is preparing to mobilize within the NLFN to ensure there is no conflict in the region.

Refugee camps in the region have already begun to open and have been flooded with thousands displaced by the war with many MU peacekeepers distributing food an medical supplies by those displaced.

Stravel Front, Drejveska

The announcement by the MU that they intended to enforce a ceasefire upon both sides of the conflict had been less than well received by both the Rhamosians and their NLFN counterparts.

After all, one does not simply order both sides to stop if one is not even in position to enforce said order. Sovereignty issues aside, if the NLFN wished to have any sort of advantage at the bargining table when the talks did occur, several changes would have to be made to the current situation facing them at the front.

Previous meetings and talks between Rhamos and the NLFN had already drawn up plans in order to rectify this problem, the MU's announcement simply moved the timetables for the operation forward.

Already various sources of intelligence had been gathered on the coalition positions along the Stravel front. Over flights from satellites of various models had painted a rather accurate position of the front already coupled with ground based reconnaissance units who various means to plot out likely strength, disposition, and posture of the forces arrayed against them. Further back, Elint and Signit units had begun plying the airwaves looking for signal concentrations and probing encryption bands.

Of note was nifty trick employed by the Russians in both Syria and Ukraine, now being used silently against the Coalition. On of these Signal units used their equipment to replicate a cellphone tower and began pinning mobile devices along the front, creating a heat map of units and individuals who still had their electronics on them.

All along the front though activity by the coalition had been dying down significantly during the past week as both sorties and artillery strikes died off unless in response to any incursions by the enemy. This was not a sign of weariness or an end of the war, no, like prize fighter the NLFN had consolidated its resources and gathered itself for what was to come next. One final great effort to ensure the survival of their nation against these reactionaries.

With all this intelligence gathered, and its power concentrated for what was to come next in concert with their Aelian allies, the NLFN was finally ready to make its play. The lull in the fighting was finally ended with a great and terrible effort as the full might of the NLFN and its allies was unleashed all at once upon the frontlines in Stravel.

A great air and artillery campaign thundered into the skies as the NLFN and Aelian forces made a bid secure total air domination over the Stravel front. Conventional tube artillery targeted concentrations of troops, assembly areas, and other valuable targets along the front line not wasting their ammunition yet on more scattered targets. MLRS batteries aimed further inland targeting Air defense units, command post, and enemy artillery units. SRBMS utilizing cratering and sub-munitions targeted any identifiable airfields and railyards deep behind the enemy front lines.

In the skies was not CAS but flights of air superiority fighters escorting strike packages of SEAD aircraft as they aimed to suppress the enemy ADN network that was not targeted by the massive artillery strike occurring below. Some of the Rhamosian aircraft carried long range AAM's specifically designed for targeting enemy AWAC aircraft if they dared to show themselves along the front.

Under the cover of this symphony of destruction the Armored divisions of the Rhamosian Drejveska Corps fired their engines up in sync drowning out the chance for any remaining sound to be heard for miles around as the sounds of thousands of engines filled the air. The time for sitting on the sidelines was over, the mighty armored gauntlet of the Rhamosian cavalry would smash through the Stravel front lines on this day and burn a path to victory for their NLFN allies. Six Rhamosian divisions were tasked for this operation, though only four were to be initially committed. The left most division was in an echelon left, the two in the middle were on line and the right most was in an echelon right together forming a giant blunt fist. The last two were following up in the middle of the formation in reserve.

The NLFN units to the left and right of their positions had been instructed to launch their own assaults along the front in order to pin down Coalition forces and prevent them from reinforcing the area of the intended breakthrough.

As the Rhamosian assault made its way towards the point of contact, at almost 10km out, divisional tank destroyer units took up position and guided by forwarded deployed Cavalry scout units began launching NLOS missiles at exposed AFVs and hardened defensive positions with their precision guided munitions. Continuing on the armored assault closed to within 6kms when the Rhamosian artillery itself began targeting Coalition forces with DPICM and White Phosphorous rounds sowing searing hot clouds and explosions among the enemy to disrupt their defenses. Now crossing the line of contact the lead Rhamosian units began moving in company sized bounding movements as one Combined Arms Armor team's IFVs and Tanks began firing GLATGMs and ATGMs at any visible enemy armor at extreme range while the other team moved to the next support by fire position.

At 3km conventional 130mm main gun rounds and 30mm autocannon rounds would fly forth from the armored companies in sync as they executed company fire commands with thunderous roars. The IFVs focused on air burst their smart munitions over enemy tanks and IFVs, aiming to strip them of their vulnerable sensors and any active defense systems they had on them leaving them open to the volleys of sabot rounds flying across the battlefield. Meanwhile company level SPAAGs all the way up to division level ADN plied the skys searching continuously for enemy UAVs and attack helicopters.

The Drejveska Corp would not be stopped, violence of action was the name of the day, and they intended to carry it out to the fullest.

by **The JVP** » Sun Jun 07, 2020 3:17 am

Stravel Front, Drejveska

The Meeting with the NLFN had two effects on the JVP forces in the area. First, it gave a general view on what they wanted out of this war, and two, that, that goal was to just live. The call from the breaking of the Stravel line and the the call by the MU for a ceasefire, of course had other effects, as the JVP echoed a vall for a ceasefire, but still readied to back her allies. The Plans to retake or at best hold what was left of the front, had been pushed way up. This meant that instead of having the time to set up key fire bases, the Zarhad order would have to shoot, move, and communicate.

"So that's a no to the Jobaria?" Ask a young Captain, during the briefing.

General Caleb looked at the man. "No. We only brought three, and two already have their roles. The last one is on standby." The general went back to the map. "Our job he is support the Rhamos push. They have the fast boys, and we need to be providing the ground and pound. The Order will be providing the Security detail. Our main job is to the be the weathermen." He paused and looked over the officers before him. "And it looks cloudy with a chance of steel rain.

Like their Artillery counterparts, the Penguin Order was getting their battle plans in order. They brought over 2 battalions of tanks. They would commit one to the Stravel front. As much as Chiara despised the idea, she know tactically that it made since to have this battalion fall under the Rhamos command, for better movement and targeting. She would have her hands full with directing the other support elements. So it was for this reason that the 3rd Knights Tanks and her 40 K2 Black Panthers, fall under Rhamos command, for the duration of the battle. Supplying would still fall under her command, and she was busy making sure the security for the supply lines would be ready to repel any outside force.

So it was on this note that 2 battalions worth of J270's, 4 Battalions of K9,s and their ammunition support elements rolled out the gates, and west, following the advancing Rhamos columns, likewise heading in the same direction. FO's had left earlier to help in target acquisitions, along with setting up a network of small Q-36 radars, and signal sites.

The Attack

Linking with Rhamos and NLFN Artillery units, the Zarhadian Order set up their guns, and fanned out their J270's. Firing positions for their first fire missions. To keep enemy forces from returning fire, the FO's sent head of time, were tasked with locating points for fire missions, and ammo pick up sights for the J270's. So with the Crews on point, their pods and tubes raised, fire missions downloaded and sent to the two six packs. They waited. Then the call came.

"Baby sheep, Baby Sheep. The Wolf is in the Kitchen with mama. Over"

"Black Sheep 1, Roger Over"

"Black Sheep 2, Roger Over"

"Black Sheep 3, Copy Over"

"White Sheep 1, Roger Over"

"White Sheep 2, Roger Over"

"White Sheep 3, Roger Over"

"Good baby sheep. Switching to FDC"

"Baby Sheep, Baby Sheep. This is Papa Sheep 1. The Goats are ready to send it. On my mark." The FDC operator looked at his watch, and listened for the go sign. As if timed to the tics of his watch, once the second hand hit 12, the call came over. He keyed his mic and said the words

"Shot baby."

the 36 J270 operators all flipped their switches, as the common KFOOM, sound came as on some the first of the 12 rockets fired, others would be firing ATACMS. As the K9's in their firing lines, fired their first few volleys.

For maximum effect, the J270's fired a mixed of M26A1 and ATACM Block II Bats. The 26's would deploy M85 Cluster Munitions, to hit the soft armoured targets, as the Black II Bats, would launch their 13 BAT's which would locate tanks and heavily armoured targets and take them out.

Excalibur rounds, fired from the K9's, would pick up their targets being painted by both JVP and Rhamos FO's and Small UAV's in the air.

Once all M270's had fired their first missions, they would resupply and then move on to secondary firing missions. Some would keeping firing on secondary targets, as other would now move to a counter fire or call for mission.

Back on the roads leading to the Stravel front, the Convey of supplies moved out, with escorts from the Penguin Order of Knights, then columns of trucks pushed forward, as JVP jets patrolled the skies over head, as they were held back for general base and convoy protection.

The JVP commitment to the fight their. They had their mission and they would see it through. As the motto of the Zarhadian Brother said. *On the Minute, Deep Strike.*

It seems as there has been a miscommunication with the Markion Union Mission in Anavokya, the Arcadian support tasked in the mission is apart of the one singular mission supported by both of our nations which in your government is known as the Markion Union Force in Anavokya. The overstepping of the Arcadian officials in the joint mission is being rectified at this time, with changes in leadership. The officials behind the unsanctioned move are being removed and reassigned from their posts, and positions. The Arcadian government would like to apologize for the officials in question overstepping their boundaries, and for the miscommunication that caused the recent turn of events.

“My Empress, I just wanted to say before we get this meeting start-,”

“Silence,” I shouted as I rose from my throne, “You are in no position to speak on any matter, Mr. Tsvetkov. I recommend you silence yourself before I have the Imperial Guards defenestrate you out the highest spire window. An action I would love to see greatly, but I rather not have the news be covering why a worm was seen falling from my window.”

I looked down on the former High-Chancellor. He avoided looking at my face as if I was some God not fit to be seen by the lowly subject. I scoffed at Yaroslav Tsvetkov before I returned to sitting down at my throne. The former High-Chancellor stepped forward to say something but I quickly raised my hand, “Mr. Tsvetkov, I was assured a quick and decisive victory over the communist in Anavokya. However, what I got was foreign help for the communist and a stalemate. I left this nation in your 'capable hands' while I took a backseat in running this nation and avoiding the political spotlight but it seems I cannot have peace. We are now in a protracted war in which the people, our people, are protesting and openly opposing. This failure will be put on you, Mr. Tsvetkov and I will be cleaning it up for you too. Your successor will be a close acquaintance of ours. I’m sure you know him? Vladimir Preobrazhensky. He has much promise like you did, but he has the willingness and courage to see my orders seen. That being said, High-Chancellor Preobrazhensky will be taking more of a support role. You see, your actions made me realize that Treko still needs my guiding hand. I should have never left you in charge. I have been contact with the government of JVP. They have extended a friendly hand, and we will be accepting”

A face that was once hiding itself was staring straight at me, Yaroslav was seething with anger at either the news of his untimely resignation, his replacement or the tongue lashing I gave him. I cared not for his anger and returned the stare back at Yaroslav. His mouth opened, then quickly closed as he came to the realization that he truly had no say in the matter of his resignation. With the conversation over, I waved off Yaroslav Tsvetkov, who was quickly flanked by Imperial Guards and escorted out of the throne room. Following Tsvetkov's removal from the throne room, an attendant stepped into the throne room and bowed, "My Empress, Admiral Fengtai Wuyong is here as you asked,"

I let out a small smile but quickly hid it as Admiral Fengtai Wuyong entered the throne room. I had my eye on Admiral Wuyong in recent years, but it wasn't for reasons regarding the High-Chancellorship. Fengtai was a stern individual who had a commanding demeanor, a veteran and a leader. He was a man I could trust. He was a man this nation could trust if the need was great enough... If I were to pass. As Fengtai neared the throne, I arose and descended down the small stairs that extended past the throne.

"Admiral Wuyong, a pleasure as always," I said as I extended my hand which he accepted and shook, "I have business to discuss with you on matters regarding of the state,"

"In regard to the state I'm always open to discussion, Tsarina," responded Fengtai as he kept looking straight ahead despite my circling of his person.

"Good, the answer I wanted to hear, " I replied as I returned to my throne, "There is a matter of marriage that I am looking at and I've selected you,"

Fengtai let a perplexed look come across his face but quickly got it under control before responding, "Tsarina, I never knew you for a joker but I assure you that you almost got me,"

"This is no joke, Admiral. Do you accept my proposal for marriage, Fengtai Wuyong?" I asked as I looked at Fengtai coldly.

"I accept, Tsarina," Fengtai said without hesitation, "I accept your marriage proposal,"

"Good, I am pleased to hear this, husband," I said with a smile, "One change, however, call me Annika,"

The message from the Tsarina of the Empire of Treko, was brought to the chambers of the High Queen, and Vivi, fresh from a bath, read it as she let her hair dry.

"Seem's reaching out a hand was worth it all along." She folded the note and reaching for some paper, began to pen her reply.

From: Her Majesty, Vivi Fush, High Queen of the Joseon Vedoric Protectorate Empire

Your words for peace do not fall on blocked ears, and I will try to push for talks, if only to bring about a ceasefire. To many lives on both sides have been lost, and we need to mourn for them with out adding more to the list.

I'll reach out to my contacts in the NLFN and Aels, to see if we can not at least get a general ceasefire, as we work on talks.

If all goes well, I would like to make a good faith visit to Treko to talk face to face.

Good tail winds. Vivi Fush, High Queen of the JVP Empire

Vivi called for an aid, and had them take her note be delivered through the political channels.

She then called for her Military advisor, and a few seconds later, a woman, in the standard Army Dress Uniform, was waiting for her.

"My High Queen?" she said, waiting to be allowed in.

"Perfect Miyu. Just in time to help me into this dress." Vivi said, as she turned to allow the General to step into her room and help her get dressed.

"I'm sure this is not why you called me here, my Queen." Miyu asked, holding the opening of the dress so Vivi could step in.

"It helps, but is not the true reason I called you." She held onto the shoulders of her advisor, as she pulled the dress up. "i really hate these things." Vivi said, talking about the event she was heading to, which warrant her wearing such an outfit.

"I received a letter from the Tsarina of Treko. They want to get talks underway." Vivi sucked in her stomach as Miyu zipped up the dress in the back. "I need you to contact with Knight General Chiara, and Knight Admiral Son. They need to open a line of commutation between the GDU allies and the NLFN and the Aelian allies." She sat down to allow Miyu to attach the cape to her dress.

"Is that all ma'am?"

"I'll be blocking out a few months, to do a state visit to Markion. Please prepare the general escorts and protection. I'll be taking Inna." She pulled her boots on and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Can do ma'am."

"Perfect." Vivi turned moved around in the dress as she looked at herself in mirror. "Miyu. Be honest with me... And Remember I can have you beheaded at any second." She turned and looked at her Advisor. "Does this dress make me look fat?"
