The Black March Conflict (IC MT)

[Welzat]

The general was pleased with what he saw these men looked to be ready for whatever came there way. Howe was about to speak when his phone rang and he picked up. The next few sentences that Agent Ohms spoke dropped his mouth and widened his eyes.

"I got some units nearby I will get them there now. Thank you Ohms keep me updated please." He said in a calm voice unlike his facial features showed. The General then turned around like a dog about to bite and started barking orders at the officers who were taken back by his intense voice.

"All of you, we have a situation at the Chief Justice House I want whatever units nearby to head there immediately. Everyone we are in red alert assume combat roles now! Captain Smartt, I know your company is already ready to move out I want you to head straight to Mr. Dulchers home now!" In an instant, the officers ran off in various directions and the base's easy-going nature changed instantly. Lowe turned his attention back to the Rhunnland men composing himself and speaking to them in his usual tone.

"We would really appreciate the support if you are ready now. I know you just landed but our Chief Justice James Dulcher is going to be attacked by the damn WAF. If they kill him then who knows who is next. If you want to join Captain Smartt's convoy of Land Rovers you have my permission. Captain Umber Smartt is a good man and if you chose to go he will inform you of more info as it comes in. Now if you cannot that is fine keep unloading but I must go take a few calls and order my men. We will meet again. God save the Prince this is a mess." He said saluting and walking away with a flock of troops around him asking for orders.

"Damn, that was quick," Muller began. "We'll be glad to assist you. Colonel Hugo and I are not prepared for combat, so we won't be able to come. However, the Rangers obviously are, so they'll be glad to assist you. Problem is, our truck is full of supplies so it can't do troop transport at the moment. Would you mind if the Rangers take one of your vehicles while Hugo and I take the truck somewhere safe? Actually, since you'd probably know, where would you recommend we take it, is there a military base we can keep it in?"

As Muller was saying this, Colonel Hugo ordered Mann to ready his men. "Alright boys, we've already got a situation," Mann said. "The Chief Justice of Welzat is being attacked, and we've been asked to help Welzat with defending him. Get your combat gear on, and then we'll hop on to their convoy."

"Yes, sir!" they all responded. In the distance, the original Rhunnlandian aircraft they all arrived on lifted off the runway and disappeared into the sky, going back home.

"Yes we have a few spare Land Rovers your rangers can borrow and follow the convoy. Also, you may take your vehicles and safety store them here our airbase is very functional or may put them at Duke of Armitage Barracks just 10 kilos from here." The major general said.

In just a few minutes a convoy of Land Rovers and Unimogs dashed through the streets towards the house reports of a gunfight had already come in and fear was looming over the soldiers.

"Remember everyone Aronian soldiers are also in the area do not fire upon them they should be wearing uniforms identifying themselves as such." He voice said over the open comms the soldiers in the vehicles readied themselves loading Lee-Enfields and Uzi's a favorite among squad leaders. Behind the convoy trailed the Rhunnland rangers and what they were doing in this situation.

The heavy vehicle sped down the street, inside the assault section loaded their rifles, each one ringing as the action cocked. 11 hardened men looked to each other, they were silent and ready. The EOD team look over their tools one last time.

As they approached they could hear the ringing gunshots. The driver spoke over the radio into the back. "AO is Hot, prepare for drop". The vehicle made a sharp J turn and released the door. The men quickly disembarked the vehicle.

The lead officers fired a hail of rounds down range from their M2001s. One of the back officers loaded a tear gas grenade into a launcher and fired hopping to disperse the ground and reduce their ability to fight back

"WHAT!" A WAF soldier said in such a confused yell by these strange soldiers firing at them. They knew instantly it was not a Welzat column of men but that was the only guess.

A hellfire of rounds came at the WAF soldiers who quickly scattered to any cover as an ornamental yard piece shattered and the carefully selected plants of the front yard gruesomely ripped apart as the high-speed rounds came flying. One anarchist couldn't escape fast enough and slumped down from the passenger side of one getaway SUV bleeding and unresponsive.

The leader of the group Greg Yorks, another laid-off worker of the steel mills tried to rally his anarchist forces. "Everyone throw your fucking grenades at the bastards!" He screamed into the coms from behind the outdoor garage nearest to the house. Small improvised pipe bombs launched into the air along with small arms fire from a variety of old weapons. A rebel from behind a fountain was struck in the hand ripping her right digits off collapsing his hold on a Lee-Enfield. The woman screamed in pain as her all-black outfit was sprinkled by blood. These anarchists were getting handled in just minutes of battling. The final collapse came when the tear gas came flying with one hitting dangerously close to the anarchist lines. The irritation and blindness from the gas were pushing the rebels back from the house and away from the fertizaler bomb. Now it seemed the only way to denote it was a suicide run by one of the anarchists and Yorks thought of this plan heavily in the gunfire. His position was the closest to the SUV and if he could just get in it victory could be achieved.

Salutations.

Excellent - we shall dispatch a small, ideologically motivated force by sea. This unit - Special Expeditionary Unit No. 4 - will bring in some weaponry that will give you a fighting chance. The vessels are low-profile. Some of the men sent will be able to provide additional specialised military training to your operatives.
We shall maintain contact.

PCWA of the Leftist Agrarian Revolutionary Party of Bulgar Rouge

Somewhere in the Mediterranean

"Brother Lieutenant, the unit has completed its indoctrination session. Shall I assign additional political duty?"

The young sergeant's brown eyes were barely visible under the brim of her Mao cap, but it was visible they were firmly locked on the Lieutenant. Barely 19, she was already commanding a platoon of late teenage troops of the 99th Youth Shock Division, a zealous unit where every young Bulgarian soldier and officer could prove their loyalty to the Party by volunteering in dangerous foreign missions such as this one. The sound of the waves and the hum of the vessel's engine were filling the silence while she was waiting for an order.

"No. This will be enough for today. Svobodno."

He saw her return to the lower deck and continued studying the intel. SIGINT had reported some enemy ship movement, but the Fyon-class was fast and had just enough armament to stay out of trouble. It was unknown whether they'd come back from this assignment - State Security had not provided any exit strategy whatsoever, but if things went south, there was always a provision to cross the border into a neutral country and wait for some airborne extraction. However, this scenario was unlikely. Everyone in this squad, with the exception of the five perpetually silent State Security officers, was looking for an opportunity to get a raise in the ranks of the Party through this otherwise unimpressive assignment. Halachev had something in mind, but he would still need to see the rebels himself to decide the next moves of the unit. Soon enough, they'd arrive in the expected location and link up with the WAF operatives to begin deployment.

The woods were a quiet place and the shore was no exception. Called Lost Cove due to its relatively isolated spot deep in the National Forest few knew of it and even fewer visited. The beach was your classic forest meets ocean scenario with smooth boulders and fine sand taking up the shoreline a small incline rose from the sand than started the great pine trees that huddled close to the Welzat shore. Within these trees was a party of three WAF. Linda Fewd was the leader of the small party and was unusual among the ranks of the WAF. She was just shy of 23 having just finished college and came, more importantly, came from a minor royalty family. This to Fewd was shameful but her intelligence into the high-class life and its movements were instrumental in the first attacks. She now was here on edge of her country she so desperately hated and looked into the cold dark waters waiting for help and it was not far from arriving.

Now it seemed the only way to denote it was a suicide run by one of the anarchists and Yorks thought of this plan heavily in the gunfire. His position was the closest to the SUV and if he could just get in it victory could be achieved.

The Land Rovers with the Rangers followed closs behind the rest of the convoy. Team A12, already in their combat gear, went over their plan, which was thrown together during the ride. "Okay so here's the plan: we'll split up into two squads, Alpha and Bravo, with me and Ramstein in charge of each. We'll all flank around the back, as it seems the Aronians who are already there have the main side covered. Alpha Squad will take one back entrance and Bravo will take the other. If there's only one entrance in the back, we'll figure something out then. From there we'll fan out and try to push the WAF up towards the front. Hopefully, they'll find themselves with us in their rear and Aroni in front."

"So they'll be between a rock and a hard place?" asked Erwin Ramstein, one of the most experienced Rangers on the team.

"Exactly," responded Major Mann. "If we get to the front and we push them to the courtyard, I want Neuhaus to set up his LMG out a window to provide suppressing fire, while Keffer takes potshots at them." He was referring to Otto von Neuhaus, the team's light machine gunner, and Martin Keffer, the sniper. "The rest of us'll stay in the house to keep it in our hands. Everyone got all that?"

"Yessir!" responded the whole team.

"Alright then. Let's roll out."

The Land Rover arrived at the Chief Justice's house along with the rest of the convoy. While the Welzatian forces went along to do whatever their mission was, the Ranger ran around to the forest behind the house. After about 5 minutes, they had successfully flanked behind it.

Mann asked Keffer to look down his sniper scope for some basic reconnaissance. "What do you see, 12-5?" he asked, referring to Keffer by his numerical designation.

"Looks like there's a couple of guards in the back, but there are two doors we can go through."

"Perfect. Can you down them?"

"Sure." Keffer aimed and shot them both. The rest of the team advanced towards the back of the house and stopped at the wall. Alpha on one side, Bravo on the other, Mann counted down as both squads prepared to burst through the two doors.

"Three, two, one, breach!"

The Rangers opened the doors and went through. Bravo Squad went in to do their business, while Mann led the four men of Alpha Squad into the building. He pointed to a door. "12-2, 12-3, take that room."

Jason Belder and Erick Caldof, the two soldiers Mann was referring to, kicked down the door to what looked like a pantry. Inside were a group of WAF insurgents. They raised their guns.

[OOC: Stopped here to allow Welzat to respond]

[Bulgar Rouge]

The coast of Welzat

The warm Mediterranean winds had long been replaced by the cool air of these sparsely populated northern expanses. The vessel had anchored not far off the coast in a small bay surrounded by hills to make sure it stayed invisible for hostile naval radars. The thick morning fog was making visibility poor, but a tiny handheld drone was used by the crew to scout the rugged shoreline. Thermal scans found three figures at the location where the rendez-vous with the WAF had been agreed upon.

Sergeant Tabakova, a heavily armed State Security instructor and four troops from the 99th got into an inflatable boat and sped towards the meeting point. No insignia. A crate of weapons and ammunition to prove commitment. The method of assistance was clear, there was plenty of intel on the situation, but there was still no clarity on what scale all this would develop. This uncertainty didn't worry Youth troops as much, in fact, it presented an opportunity for them to show their creativity in problem-solving. In less cynical times, this assignment could've been considered an adventure.

The fog was gradually clearing. The group reached the location, where three figures were on the shore. At the front was another young woman who didn't particularly look like a working-class revolutionary. In fact, she had an air of intellectualism, compared to the other two, who seemed like they had gone through a tough life and didn't really care much about the abstract aspects of existence.

The party went ashore, taking the crate with them. The State Security soldier stood aside, observing everyone from a distance and barely making any movement. The sergeant came forward and saluted the leader of the unknown group with a clenched fist in a typical communist fashion.

"Sergeant Tabakova. We have been sent to assist in your armed struggle."

The teenage troops tossed the crate on the ground and opened it, revealing several "Pobeda" rifles with magazines and ammo boxes inside.

"This here is to verify our intentions. The remainder of the materiel and our troops are on their way and should arrive in minutes. It's a security precaution. Please identify yourselves so we can proceed."

[Welzat]

Chief Justice House

Welzat forces ran to the frontline with the Aronians the old British uniforms contrasted deeply with the modern look of the foreigners but the fighting spirit was still there. Fire squads filled in any gaps of the front and a hail fire of rounds dotted towards the courtyard the few insurgents left were being decimated. Things got worse when from behind gunfire sprang through the woods and into the house.

Inside two insurgents were holding position when from behind came bursting a squad of foreign commandos. The insurgents carrying submachine guns were easily eliminated by a burst of calculating fire and now it seemed York was alone. The gunfire was dying down as his group had all been defeated and now it was just the lone rebel. There was no way he could reach the bomb now in the car but he did have one final plan to kill as many of these perceived fascist as he could. Strapped to York were two pipe bombs these were supposed to be for throwing but now they were to be used to launch himself into a group of soldiers, whoever was unlucky enough to find his hiding spot now in the garage. As he waited for his final glory the question of how this plan was ruined kept seeping into his thoughts. This quick action would have crippled moral in the country but now it was a failure. He knew tomorrow grand tells of the heroes of this battle would be on every channel and how the evil WAF was going to be blasted on every radio. This pained the man who wanted blood to overthrow the government and bring true utopia to the country. However, he hoped the WAF kept fighting but then his thoughts vanished. A group was nearing the garage and in the darkness, he waited for the door to crack open.

"This here is to verify our intentions. The remainder of the materiel and our troops are on their way and should arrive in minutes. It's a security precaution. Please identify yourselves so we can proceed."

The shore was a beautiful one this morning the frogs chirped somewhere deep within the woods and the first signs of songbirds came out of there nightly ritual. Linda's dark brown bob cut hair fluttered in the light breeze of the morning as the small boat neared the shore.

"Go on and help them out." She said in a naturally commanding voice the two troops with her obligated by leadership rushed to help the Bulgar Rouge. Talks of Communism were common in camp but it felt awkward and taboo in a way. Maybe it was that every child in Welzat no matter the class was taught very early in life that Communism was the destroyer of life and happiness. Even with these radicals, the subject was just a difficult one even if they were fighting for equality calling the WAF a communist group would break the group in half. However, Linda was not one of these pure anarchists she bit the bullet of the ideology long ago and seeing them helping brought a huge smile to her face.

When the leader of the group approached her and saluted she returned the favor and spoke in feverish excitement, "Wow all this to help us out. You are truly a lifesaver I knew this wasn't fake! I am Linda Fewd you can call me second in command of this whole WAF thing I guess. Do you know anything about us or do I need to tell you about our way of fighting against the oppression if not I can take you back to our base of operation or something?" She asked with a smile peeling her face.

[Aroni]

Suzar stood up as the gunfire died down, he had taking a bullet to the plate carrier and coughed catching his breath. "Gray get your boys on that car, it's a VBIED. Larson take A squad up and clear the building, get the justice and the other out of here. The rest of you with me, we're taking the other entrance." The team nodded split up.

Gray, Owens, and Sutton got to work disarming the fertilizer bomb making sure it it couldn't be detonated remotely and then removing the firing mechanism, rendering it inert. Larson took 4 other through the front door, smashing it down with a solid kick and slowly working through the house checking every corner for insurgents and making their way to the HVT.

Suzar took the remaining boys to the garage. "Endoscope." he said sliding the thin snake camera under the door and peering inside seeing York huddled by the door ready. "Tango in sight, too close for a bang, Rex, get me an opening on the roll up, you two stay here, come in 2 seconds after the blast. Rex curled up a piece of PETN into a disc and affixed it to the garage door, with a loud boom it went off sending harmless splinter int other garage and the 3 men pushed in, hoping the sudden shock from a new direction would throw him off balance. "Down on the Ground" "Hands in the Air" Get em up!" they shouted as the second team pushed in the door he was guarding, they were right on top of him, in a good place to tackle him, assuming their plan had worked. If not his pipe bomb would tear into the 5 of them, most assuradely killign the two closest and likely injuring the 3 others.

Meanwhile Ohms arrived and got to work arranging the Special Agents into teams to guard the roads in and out of the area ensuring no one could roll into the AO unchallenged

[Bulgar Rouge]

Coast of Welzat

"We already have some intel on your group, sister Fewd. We are aware that you need to beef up your training, procedure and firepower. We don't carry too many supplies so our troops can transfer the rest. Some of the weapons caches will be hidden in this area to ensure your forces remain armed in case something goes wrong. Take us to the nearest safehouse so we can proceed. We'll come in on small groups to avoid suspicion."

The State Security officer radioed a command for deployment to the rest of the troops, who would arrive shortly and follow standard protocol to establish hidden weapons caches while taking the rest of the materiel to the HQ. A microdrone continued to scout the area, looking for thermal signs and other possible threats or means to get the group detected.

The Sergeant was left with the impression that the WAF group was not particularly organised; they rather seemed like enthusiasts than actual political revolutionaries. This may well become an excellent assignment after all.

[Rhunnland]

Chief Justice House

This pained the man who wanted blood to overthrow the government and bring true utopia to the country. However, he hoped the WAF kept fighting but then his thoughts vanished. A group was nearing the garage and in the darkness, he waited for the door to crack open.

The Rangers moved throughout the rest of the house. There were obviously a few pockets of rebels scattered throughout, but they all expected that. Save for the first-floor garage, the entire building had been cleared without any major casualties. Alex Perlman, one of the rangers, had suffered a gunshot to the shoulder but he would likely be fine. Major Mann, one the second floor with his squad, ordered Neuhaus and Keffer, the machine-gunner and sniper, to take positions looking out the front of the building. They saw that Aronia and Welzat had already dealt with the insurgents in the yard, so they just kept watch in case more anarchists came out.

"12-6 to 12-1," radioed Ramstein, leader of the squad on the first floor.

"Go for 12-1," responded Mann.

"It looks like we missed the garage, should we check it out? There aren't any other hostiles on this floor so I doubt any resistance in there."

"Sure, send a couple guys in there just to be safe,"

"Yessir, 12-6 out."

Ramstein ordered Lawrence Werter and Felix Zollern, two of the newest members of the team, to clear the garage. Werter went to the left of the door and Zollern went to the right. Zollern carefully opened the door, and both of them walked through, not expecting much. Instead, they found an insurgent with two pipe bombs strapped to his chest.

The Sergeant was left with the impression that the WAF group was not particularly organised; they rather seemed like enthusiasts than actual political revolutionaries. This may well become an excellent assignment after all.

"Okay! Just follow us we have made small trails all throughout the forest and do not worry about those Welzat government forces we have them scurrying around far from here and after tonight they will be hurting bad! It will be three or four hours in these woods before we reach the camp but our safe houses in between will be a great stop if you need it." Fewd said with excitement still in her voice. In her head now nothing could stop the WAF from dreams of defeating the Welzat government and the feverous spell of the revolution took over her mind as she lead the Bulgars deep into the wild woods.

Bragg National Forest, Camp Dogma

Within the untamed wildlands of the National Forest was yet another one of WAFs so-called "bases". The base, however, was just a mere shack old and forgotten from the miners of yesteryear. Despite the disappointing building inside held the keys to the operation, Dr. Knoll had left his usual spot deep within Amtiage and now was at the camp waiting on his Bulgar allies to arrive. After hours of waiting chatter of arrival came through and Knoll with his trademark light brown suit and red tie came out of the shack. Knoll tried as always to look hopeful for his troops and followers and a dull smile came upon his face as the figures in the distant woods were closing in on the camp. As those around him stunned in excitement looked around in jittery pleasure inside of Knoll the recent defeat of the forces at the Chief Justice Manor came as a huge blow to his operations and hoped that these Bulgar troops could turn the tide.

The sudden entrance at the other end took Yorks by surprised and he spun with such quickness that a bomb flew off his chest and harmlessly unto the ground. Before Yorks could even say something soldiers from the other side came bursting through the door and were shouting at him with guns pointing. This was now or never and Yorks was not going to waste being the hero of his movement. In just a flash he spoke in a thundering voice.

"YOU PIGS DIE! FOR THE WAF!!!" He proclaimed in madness as a match was lit and its target the fuse. However, the Aronians without hesitation rushed the madman knocking the match out his hand and the threat of such a bombing neutralized. Yorks still pushed and fought his attackers with a primitive rage biting and scratching if he could. The thought of failing two times cracked his sanity and nothing but a knockout or death could stop York from fighting and trying to rip away from these troops but elsewhere the silence echoed and the battle was now a memory.

---

In the next 30 minutes, a swarm of Welzat soldiers descended upon the Manor checking the scene of carnage. The dead WAF were gathered into a pick up truck and pictures of the entire battle were taking place. The Prince's guards slain during the assault were being mourned by large groups of troops who had carefully placed a Welzat flag upon the bodies and awaited a Priest to bless the souls. Besides this morbid scene, the overall attitude of the troops was one of pride. The first coalition battle was a complete success and they knew the WAF would be hurting after losing so much equipment and manpower. Major General Howe was also on the scene and met with Ohms as soon as he could.

"You are one hell of a man. Bravo Mr. Ohms! We could have lost him today if you and your men did not get here so fast." The general said giving the Aronian a sturdy handshake and continuing, "Now if you need anything else in Welzat please tell me and I can get it for you after all you are the hero of the day along with those men from Rhunnland. Anything you would like to say?" He said before handing Ohms a Welzat Pipe in a sort of informal gift to the man.

[Rhunnland]

[OOC: Sorry; I didn't notice that Aroni already got to the garage lol]

Werter and Zollern had come into the garage just as the Aronians were apprehending the insurgent inside.

"Looks like we're clear then," Zollern said, chuckling.

"12-10 to 12-1" he said, radioing to Mann.

"Go for 12-1," the Major responded over the radio.

"Garage is clear. Looks like the Aronians already got it."

"Alright. I'm looking out the window and it looks like the yard is clear as well so meet me outside."

"Yessir."

Mann radioed the rest of the team telling them to do the same. They all met in front of the main entrance to the Manor, and Mann congratulated his men on a job well done.

"You all did a terrific job today. We cleared out the building with minimal injuries, which I'm very proud of. Metternich, go help out Perlman," he said to Victor von Metternich, the team medic. "Belder, go see if Welzat can give us any medical assistance. The rest of you, watch the perimeter."

"Yes, sir!" they all responded. Mann walked over to General Lowe and what looked like the commander of the Aronian forces. He saluted both of them, and congratulated Lowe on a successful battle. "I do not believe we've met," Mann said, extending a hand to the Aronian officer. "I'm Major Andrew Mann, of Rhunnland."

Tabakova's initial impressions were further confirmed when they arrived at the supposed camp of the WAF. The foot soldiers of the group didn't seem like they had followed much routine, and the man standing forward - apparently a leading figure - was not exactly dressed in combat attire.

After brief introductions and a pause to look around and make a final assessment, she began with her ideologically motivated, disciplining tone:

"To put things in perspective: our force is here to both train and wage combat beside your troops. Many of us are not likely to survive, but our Youth Shock Division is at the forefront of revolutionary struggles across the globe. This is normal for us. We, therefore, expect no less than your men - to fight courageously, to sacrifice the person in favour of the collective and its idea, and to die without doubt when necessary."

She pulled out a small handbook with a red star and a structure on its cover, and handed it over to the man.

"This is our 5-day training manual and crash political course. Adopting all of these ideas is not necessary and depends on your local conditions, but as far as we know, you do oppose the oligarchy presently suffocating in country, which is enough of a common point for us."

As the final cache of weapons that were not to be concealed arrived at the camp, and the last of the Bulgarian contingent - except for the Lieutenant - finally arrived at the camp, she threw them a stern look. Any excess movement or quiet chatter disappeared, and the troops were in a neat formation. She turned her gaze back to the WAF leader.

"What we need is the following: your current intelligence on your primary targets, the total number of troops you have, and information on your current supply situation - weapons stocks, ammunition, food, medical supplies. Also, this location is way too exposed - a cave, mine shaft or any safehouse closer to an urban area will be more appropriate. There is little concealment and blending opportunity available here.

Once we clarify these details, we will begin planning for operations that will destabilise the Welzat regime and accelerate its downfall. Your lesser-trained or untrained members will undergo the 5-day guerrilla training course, while your more experienced men will take part alongside ours in strike operations. Please confirm that you agree with these procedures."

The agent took the pipe and nodded, it was illegal to smoke in his home country, and would likely be taken by customs on his return, but he knew well to accept gifts in the spirit of their offering. "Thank you General, but you owe most of this to Troop Leader Suzar and his team." He said gesturing to the man leading the growling and snapping, zip-tied WAF agent out of the blown up garage door. "We're gonna need a meat truck for him, the Chief Justice doing OK?"

It was at this point that Major Andrew Mann approached. "Senior Special Agent in Charge Ohms, sir" he shaking his hand. "You can just me Agent Ohms, so general, beyond debriefing this guy what do you need of us"

"I do not believe we've met," Mann said, extending a hand to the Aronian officer. "I'm Major Andrew Mann, of Rhunnland."

A swirl of sirens and voices echoed around the men as General Lowe listened to what the special agent had to say and then he continued on cheerfully, " Will thank Mr. Suzar for me, will you? As for the Chief Justice, he is doing fine just a little shook up from this whole event but once again thank you for the help." He finished as the Rhunnland commander came up to the two and saluted. Howe nodded back and the arrival prompted a great way to get all the allied forces to meet each other. After a few seconds of greetings and the likes, Howe continued on with his talks of plans against the WAF.

"Ah Major Mann nice to meet you again, I heard about one of your soldiers getting injured in the battle, I hope our Welzat medics are taking good care of him. On a rather different note, I must say it is nice we have all the leaders of the allied forces here right now and I hope you kind gentlemen do not mind a picture of all of us. We here in Welzat appreciate marking moments of triumph in pictures." He said as a Welzat Army photographer came out of the crowd of soldiers with a rather large expensive camera. In quick moments the three shuffled into a classic photo pose with Howe in the middle smoking his pipe along with Major Mann on the right and respectfully Special Agent Ohms on the left.

"Perfect!" The photographer noted to himself after snapping a few shots. "This is going to look so good once we get approval to post this in the papers. Bless you, all." The man said again before scurrying off so that the three could talk about plans again. Howe took his pipe out of his mouth as the special agent spoke of what was needed now of them.

"Well, truthfully both your troops and Major Manns need to get some rest. This was a lot to ask for in one day and the barracks are already open to you. However, I suggest that before we all leave tonight that whatever operations come next we all coordinate with each other the very best. The WAF might be small but they have so many tricks up there sleeves we can not ease up on them. If all your troops are ready tomorrow we believe..." He said before his voice got softer and gesturing them to come closer. " Our intelligence has been watching a house near Dober Street, which is one of the let's say lower neighborhoods in Armitage, the movement is odd but that could just be us in such a paranoid spot. If you would like to help us in surveillance of this house give me a call and we can set it up." He said then changing back to his typical voice, "Once again gentleman thank you for the help Welzat appreciates it. Now get some rest."

Please confirm that you agree with these procedures."

Dr. Knoll was taken back by the speech of one of the Bulgar troops. Inside the man likened it to that of a robot with one goal in mind, destruction. It made the doctor feel weak in the sense with his group just a bunch of ragtag rebels looking to change the country and already falling apart at the hands of an inept government. The combat experience was non-existence within the ranks due to how rare conflict was for Welzat and every tactic and bomb learned came from simple books and shady dealers. When the leader came up to talk all of her troops obeyed without a word something Dr. Knoll couldn't even do and when she asked for all the info, the embarrassment of such a lackluster rebel formation started to come into the doctors head.

"Well, we have a few safe houses in the capital, Armitage, where we have been watching the Welzat forces. It was easy to tell what was happening days ago but now with foreign allies, the Welzat government forces seem to be careful in movement and operation. As for troop numbers... well we number only 122 fighters and after the 6 that we believe are dead tonight that number might have gone down..." He said almost feeling the judgment of the LT. which made him stop for a second but continued moments later, " We have few weapons mostly pistols and old government rifles but we have a weapon cache in Armitage near Dober street that we are trying to move out. It has a crate of Rough Rider .22 pistols enough for all of us to have a sidearm and another crate of Mosin-Nagants. As for ammunition, we have enough to sustain small operations but nothing all out. Finally, for a location, there is a big enough cave just a few kilos from here we can move into." The doctor said in an unsure tone. If anyone else heard this conversation they might think the situation was useless and pack up immediately and that fear was real for the doctor as he awaited a response.

"We are ready for fighting even with the lack of experience we just need some guidance in these tactics." He added.

The details provided by Dr. Knoll were largely within the bounds of the higher-level intelligence State Security had provided on the capabilities of the group. Tabakova could see he was still anxious and not very confident in his leadership skills - typical for novice leaders with civilian background.

"Excellent, we're not starting from scratch then. We've brought you 500 of our "Pobeda" assault rifles - they're an AK-type so your men will have no trouble getting accustomed to them quickly. To go with those, we've brought several thousand rounds of ammunition, a night vision scope for every 10th rifle supplied, and 100 combat radios. We're also bringing some medical supplies for your troops. By the end of this week, we can set up a 150-strong joint force. We will not move anyone to Armitage before we assess the local state of affairs further.

Our recommendation is to leave another small cache of weapons and ammunition in this area. If this location is a regular gathering point, we can set up a camp in the woods here, and our State Security officers, along with some NPLA instructors, will begin filtering and training your less-experienced troops immediately. You must take the remainder of our officers, myself included, to the cave so we can set up an HQ with an armory there. We should do this in small groups or individually to avoid suspicion. Lieutenant Halachev will arrive shortly to join us. We will need to initiate our first planning meeting later so we can begin the armed struggle."

Hail to you, WAF.

News has reached our glorious nation and our Leader that your organization is trying to overthrow the current aristocracy of your country. We have too lived under a government that is a puppet of the filthy westerners and oppressive so we are reaching out a helping hand to you from the Leader himself. We are offering not just equipment but experienced revolutionaries as well armed with small arms, light machine guns, anti-tank weapons and mortars.

The equipment we are talking about varies from small arms to machine guns and rocket launchers together with 10,000 rounds of 5.56 and 7.62 calibers of ammunition, as well as 45.ACP and 9mm pistol ammo.

Now, we already do know that other nations are assisting your fight but trust us that you will need as many allies as possible.
If you wish for our assistance, respond in the next 24 hours and we will send you the best of the best as soon as possible.

"Well, truthfully both your troops and Major Manns need to get some rest. This was a lot to ask for in one day and the barracks are already open to you.

He said then changing back to his typical voice, "Once again gentleman thank you for the help Welzat appreciates it. Now get some rest."

"I think coordination would be a great idea," Mann said. "However, I'm not the Commander of the Rhunnlandians here, technically. That'd be General Muller. I'll let him know and I'm sure he and Colonel Hugo would be glad to meet with you and your officers tonight. My boys and I will be glad to carry out whatever mission you guys come up with.

"Anyway, it looks like we're done here, so we're going to head back to those barracks you mentioned."

The Rangers commandeered the same Land Rovers they came to the Manor in, getting directions to the barracks from a Welzatian officer. Upon arrival, Mann radioed Muller and Hugo to inform them where they were staying.

"Thank you Major; we'll be there soon," General Muller said over the walkie after receiving Mann's communication. During the skirmish at the Manor, Hugo and Muller had been sitting in the front seats of the Rhunnlandian truck, which was still parked at Prince Dunwich Air Base. Colonel Hugo, the one more experienced with WAF-like insurgent groups, had been reading intelligence briefings on the WAF and Welzat in general, while Muller had been monitoring the situation itself through the Rangers' helmet cams. They packed up their laptops, checked the truck to make sure nothing would fall out, and drove over to the barracks.

By the time they arrived, the Rangers had already got there and were glad to see the arrival of the rest of their supplies. Mann and Muller went off to the side to discuss the battle, while Hugo led the unpacking effort. They were given a smallish building with room for the ten Rangers and two officers, just like any standard barrack. The Rangers took off their combat gear and were given an hour to relax. Perlman, the only one who was injured, went with von Metternich to the barracks' infirmary. Von Metternich had given Perlman the best care he could in the field, but he still needed to be examined and treated at an actual medical facility.

Muller and Mann finished up their conversation, with the Major mentioning at the end that General Lowe wanted to meet with the officers of all the nations helping in the fight against the WAF. Muller noted this and mentioned it to Hugo. Muller also found a Welzatian officer and asked him to ask General Lowe where and when they should meet.

Ohms, smiled and stood next to the others as the photographer took the photo. He was used to being photograph, along side weapons shipments and Islamic paraphernalia, but he never liked it. "As you wish general, we'll head to the barracks and get settled in." The member of JTF Noble Law assemble and drive back to base. "General wanted me to say you did a good job out there, OPFOR down, only one WIA, and we even got a captive for our trouble." Suzar nodded but otherwise said nothing, still coming down out of combat. The team returned to the barracks, and unpacked their limited personel effect settling into their temporary home.

In the morning, Ohms headed out to meet with the other commanders and coordinate their efforts. Before leaving he told Sr. SA Alice Davidson to check on the matter of that place of Dober Street. Additionally he sent SA Bobby Gomez to go "shake the tree" put some boots in the neighborhood and see what he could find. He dressed down in some casual clothed, holstered his Five-Seven in his ankle and headed out. His HUMINT skills were rusty but he would be the best one for the job regardless. Lastly, he sent McBride out again out to the hospital to check on Betters, not on a fact finding mission, just a friendly check in and to collect some personal details for his asylum application.

Dr. Knoll listened intently to the instructions given to him. For once in this conflict, he was not the leader and now was a follower but he had to be on this level or else face the rope in downtown Armitage if it all this failed. The assault rifles would be extremely handy in surprising government combatants and in his head he could already see the newspapers calling the anarchists savages to the highest degree due to this. After the women was done with the list of things to do, Knoll spoke inquisitively.

"I am here to listen and do what such experienced revolutionaries tell me, I mean you all know how to fight a dirty war such as ours against oppression, correct? However, my suggestion is that we should make this our meeting spot, the Bragg National Forest is hardly explored after all those rich pigs don't take a fancy to the beauty of nature. We should start this training immediately my troops are yours... One more question what about my troops in Armitage themselves we have about 10 scattered around how should we get them out?" He said in a respectful tone. The cogs of the organization were coming together with the Bulgar Rouge and the Welzat royalty had no idea. Before the movements of troops could begin Dr. Knoll was tapped on the shoulder and given the following:

"Mhmm, most interesting another nation willing to help us in our time of need." Knoll said to himself examining the note thoroughly to pinpoint any flaws that might giveaway that it was a trick by government forces. In his mind, he was coming at blank about information concerning Wesburg, Dr. Knoll had a wide knowledge of different nations but not this one. Needing a second opinion he approached the Bulgar Rouge officer handing over the note and asking, " Do you know anything about this nation? Our signal station picked it up but we cannot be sure if this is some trick or not. I just want your opinion on the situation, after all, we are new friends." He emphasized the end with a sort of joking tone hoping to get a little emotion into the officer's face.

[Welzat]

A large case came to the countries in the morning within were maps, descriptions, and all types of debriefing tools with the most important document coming in a slick sheet of paper with the seal of Welzat covering the top.

TO:ALL ALLIED NATIONS
FROM:MAJOR GENERAL SIR HENRY HOWE
ENCRTPTION:(MAXIUM)

OPERATION MANSARD ROOF

Greetings fellow upholders of order, after last nights successful mission with the Chief Justice we believe a full-frontal operation against the WAF is in place. Operation Mansard Roof will be a collaboration between Welzat Royal Capital Battalion and allied nations within the city to destroy cells that resign all throughout the suburbia. After intensive surveillance, we believe three sites in Armitage hold rebels due to odd behaviors and multiple peoples of interest loitering these sites. Below are the sites and assigned commanders to clear them. It is important all forces stay in contact with each other and if trouble stirs do not hesitate to call high command. Allied nations please take special note about your assignment called SITE 2.

SITE 1: Youngstown Steel Works
ASSIGNED UNIT: 2nd platoon of Royal Captial Battalion; 1st Armitage Police Patrol
DESCRIPTION: Old site crumpling on its foundation. This area is where a patrol was attacked the other day by two fighters. It is unknown if any more fighters are within the site. Clear the works and secure anyone within the works.
NOTES: --

SITE 2: 221 Clover Street
ASSIGNED UNIT: Allied nations coalition; 2nd Armitage Police Patrol
DESCRIPTION: A house near Dober Street that is believed to be a safe house or storage for the WAF. No one leaves the house during the day and suspiciously at times between 17:00-17:28 a vehicle parks in front of the house right before curfew. So far a single female described being between 30-40 seems to be the driver. A police watch squad has been stationed in the high church west of the house. Allied nations should meet Captain John Stones at the church.
NOTES: Any question refer to Major General Howe

SITE 3: 421 Loudownes Lane
ASSIGNED UNIT: 1st platoon of Royal Captial Battalion; 3rd platoon of Royal Captial Battalion; 3rd and 4th Armitgae Police Patrol

NOTES: Special orders for units assigned.


Leaders of all groups involved will receive intel and maps for the mission disclosed. Operations shall commence at 17:00 today. May the Prince guide you all to victory.

Hospital

Betters was still in the hospital the Welzat guards gave him a hard night making fun of the man for his allegiance to traitors. However, he still hoped that he could escape the hanging that awaited him once he healed.

"Someone is back for you Betters." A soldier said bringing in the Aronian. Betters grim face changed as he instantly knew that it was one of these strange people from a long off land. " Sooo.... how did it all go last night." He said in a monotone voice trying to conceal the fact he wanted to burst out a cry for help. He had to build up to that he thought and awaited a response.

[HSB Incorporated]

Eight vehicles stop on the outskirts of Armitage, Welzat. James Hutteig, who had been assigned to manage the Welzat Field Office, or WFO, emerged from a vehicle to survey. The corporation had briefed the HSB-WFO personnel that this would be their "temporary tactical office," at least until new facilities could be secured within Armitage. Hutteig scoffed; two square mile of nothingness might be tactical, but it certainly wasn't an office. Covered in dirt from the terrain, he turned back towards his once-clean Mercedes G 65 AMG and called for the remaining personnel to begin fortification—business was open.

Hutteig returned to the lead Mercedes and broadcast one of the corporation's pre-approved, plug-and-play notices:

Chief Operations Officer, HSB-WFO
HSB Incorporated

By the time the notice was transmitted, the HSB-WFO personnel had made headway on their "office." All-in-all, the constructions occupied slightly less than two thousand square feet. Inside the mess of barbed wire and sandbags lay several tents, structures, and a single, dug-in bunker. The personnel had made quick work of the vehicles, and were now cleaning the three heavy trucks and five Mercedes G-Classes.

Hutteig opened his flask and observed; the office had twenty two personnel. Twelve were loosely designated as security—although mercenaries could be a more fitting descriptor—five as laborers and three as technicians. The final two were pilots, although they appeared to be busy servicing the office's transport helicopter. The group was well-trained but sparsely armed with handguns, shotguns, and basic assault rifles, typical of the corporation's strategy to minimize risk exposure. Hutteig retired to the bunker, satisfied with the day's progress but still anxious to complete his remaining task—it was time to supply the other side.

[Romextly]

Captain Atticus Thadeas Claudius looked emotionless. But in reality, he was thinking of possible hiding spaces for the rebels. Nest to him was Lieutenant Mario Hernandez looking at the map that they had been provided for their journey. All of his elite Contra Rebellíon troops were sitting across the Praetorian Guards, Elite guards to protect the emperor himself and super close monarchs. They were guard the prince and some high rank officials.
"Getting close!" Shouted the pilot of the Chinook.
"Brace for landing, boys." Atticus said to his men.
As the door opened, the men gathered their M4's and MA16's and their gear. Their Duplex Lecits and Humvee were all there. Atticus finally set foot on Welzat.

[Wesburg]

After a few days of preparing and training Neubaum and his crew flew off of Wesburgian soil 0500 early morning, it was clear that the Wesburgian government frankly didn't care about a WAF response anymore so they took it in their own hands.

0700 military time, the plane enters the Welzat airspace

A song is playing in the background, it can be hardly heard from all the engine noise of the transport plane. ''...Yes, i am alone, i was left alone, and all my friends perished,
All hope is in one magazine, i won't give up easily, scum!...''. Neubaum mutters to himself ''Good morning, Welzat'' and then turns to his platoon. ''National comrades, we have entered the airspace of The Principality of Welzat, so get your parachutes ready and your spirit as well because this is gonna be a gruesome mission. And remember this, no one is our ally and everyone must be treated as an enemy until we manage to establish contact with the WAF.''

The plane was a typical cargo plane. Due to Wesburg's amazing spies they knew that the WAF had an outpost somewhere in Armitage. When the plane was getting close to the outskirts the door of the cargo plane opened and the crates of weapons and ammo meant for the WAF were pushed out of the plane. After the crates were out the soldiers looked over their parachutes again and after the capital had been passed each soldier would start jumping out of the plane one by one, Neubaum first. Some time after each soldier was out the cargo plane would close the door and leave the Welzat airspace and land in friendly territory.

0730 military time, a few kilometres away from Armitage, deep in the woods

The platoon all land safely in a forest, a few kilometres away from Armitage. The platoon all gathers together, Neubaum pulls out a cellphone and calls someone ''We just landed, we dropped the crates on the outskirts of Armitage so let the WAF guys know.'' He ends the call after that and pulls out a map ''Alright boys, we gotta get to the capital of this country'' He points to Armitage on the map ''We gotta cause some havoc and anarchy too on the way there so these amateurs will know who they have on their side so kill any cop or military guy you see, and try to not get spotted by any civilians, and if you do, then you have my permission to neutralize them. Got it?'' They all nod and Neubaum signals them to follow him as they start to make their way through the forest to Armitage...

A man in his early sixties was standing in his office after just ending the phone call with Neubaum, grinning. The man was the National Defence Minister Yuri Beznov. A woman in her early 30's was sitting behind her table, she was the secretary of the Ministry of Defence, her name was Natalie. ''Sir?'' She turns to the Minister ''Any good news?'' She adds. He replies ''Write to the WAF again, tell them that the equipment is at the outskirts of the capital city, Armitage, and that our boys are a few kilometres away from Armitage too.'' Before she could write he adds ''And make sure the encryption is the highest.'' She nods to the minister and begins to write to the WAF.

Heil.

It seems that you have ignored us but we don't care about that. If you don't know already or haven't seen our equipment just landed at the outskirts of Armitage. The professional revolutionaries we have also promised are a few kilometres away from your capital as well.

National Defence Ministry of Wesburg.

Woods of Welzat

The sergeant was observing Dr. Knoll and his somewhat awkward attempts to look friendly; but her existing experience in other combat situations, even at her tender age, had taught her better. This was no time to socialise or make friends. Many of these people may not be among the living tomorrow. Her sole dedication was to the Party and the revolutionary cause, and every move and thought of hers was guided by this dedication. She looked at the note and snatched it from Dr. Knoll's hand a moment later. As her dark eyes began reading, Lieutenant Halachev arrived at the scene and exchanged salutes.

Sergeant Tabakova handed over the note to one of the State Security men. "Our services will check this and we will coordinate how these supplies are received if this is confirmed to be true. Lieutenant, the Doctor here believes these woods are a good place to set up camp. They also have 10 or so men in the capital with no way out."

"Scatter everyone."

She merely gave a nod, as much of this operation was outside formal procedure and had to keep as low a profile as possible. The sergeant proceeded to quickly organise local and NPLA troops in squads and began shouting out order after order.

"Dr. Knoll, my name is Lieutenant Halachev. I'll be the military overseer of our assistance component to the WAF. I'm afraid our present location is anything but safe - nowhere to blend, visible to satellite reconnaissance, poorly defensive and a myriad of other issues. We'll break up our force into 5 combat groups of 30 men each. State Security troops will make sure coordination between the groups is smooth, and our younger officers will immediately begin training once the groups are deployed to adequate locations and concealed.

As for your troops in Armitage, let them stay there. We'll convert them to be on the lookout - if you still have contact with some of them, tell them to lay low and blend in. All they need to do is follow the news, watch the reports - who's arriving, what equipment is carried, and report briefly on the situation. In the meantime, a few of our troops are beginning their move to the Armitage airport, our satellite intel reports that military aircraft have been landing there, so this battle squad will ensure those movements are halted, at least temporarily.

So, get in touch with your men in Armitage and provide us with all the information you have about the National Bank, government representatives and local administrative buildings..."

Halachev was interrupted by the Sergeant; her face was no longer cold and emotionless; she now seemed a bit excited, and apparently there was good reason.

"Lieutenant! One of our drones spotted paratroopers landing a few kilometres away from here."

"Well Dr. Knoll, it seems like we have company. Proceed to your nearest safehouse. We'll disperse most of the men as quickly as possible. It seems like some of your troops know how to use firearms, so this 30-person squad will go and see what this is all about."

One of the small drones continued to scout the area, identifying the safest routes for the battle squads that would redeploy to other locations, and the best spots where the advancing battle squad could position itself to meet the paratroopers in case they were hostile.
