1 AM

The warning played on Premier Koralov's Television in the background as he sat back in his chair smoking a cigar. He had made many enemies with his rise to power.

Lately this included the Commanders of the Shetialandi People's Army.

BANG

A shell fired over the Supreme People's Council Building in Paleograd. On orders of the Premier, they had refused to surrender control of the building to the Army. While many of the councilmen thought Korlova was insane, they were loyal to him because they feared his insanity.

The Generals, did not. With the Economy in shambles and Korlova seemingly growing more despotic by the hour, the Army executed an attempted coup in Paleograd.

Of course it failed as not the entire General Staff was willing to side with a coup that could fail.

BANG

The Guard Units and Police surrounding the Supreme People's Council building pointed their guns at the Soldiers. Many were personally chosen by the Premier and his allies -- so they would remain loyal.

Premier Korlova had ordered all civilians in Paleograd to be evacuated by Loyalists -- not wanting General Journik and his allies to execute some propaganda coup and turn his city against him.

Journik didn't want bloodshed unless it was needed. Neither did Korlova, but he wouldn't buckle.

If anything started, the Premier and his allies had to make sure it'd be contained to the capital. If fighting were to break out, Koralova would enclose the city and move in to capture Journik and his traitors.

BANG

A shell hit the Supreme People's Council Building. SPC Guards and Police opened fire in response.

Finally, it had begun.

I am new to this, so sorry if I make a mistake.

I also don't typically like making long posts.

If you're asking what this is based on, I've just been thinking about some of the policy decisions that I've made recently. My economy has hit rock bottom, so I shrugged and said why not

Anywho, put your stuff in spoiler if you want to talk OOC.

Have fun!

A plane displaying the Multonian presidential colors was flying directly into Shetialandi airspace, flying north of the capital. Recently, right before the situation erupted, the pilots were given clearance to enter. The plane contained a number of VIPs, one representing the Navy, Edward Patrick Brody, and some attachés who were coming along with him to discuss a state function somewhere in the capital. Of course, they knew that there were rising tensions between the nation’s people and Premier Korlova. For now, they knew that someone had to step in and lend a helping hand, and deal with the problem already. Now Brody already knew, that they were just two hours away from commencing an ILS approach towards the capital. All of a sudden, the plane buffeted, and the seatbelt sign went on.


It’s about time, he thought

10 AM

April 24th, 2020

Fighting across Paleograd had dragged on across two days.

The Army quickly secured the Supreme People's Council building shortly after the initial shots, but Government representatives had fled the building and moved into loyalist controlled territory in the north of the city. Loyalist Police, Red Guards, and Army Officials had established checkpoints across the northern city -- fortifying it in preparation for Journik's counterattack.

The only thing outside any zone of control was Paleograd International, an area too big for any side to establish an effective range of control over.

Corporal Peldof had been scouting the airport for activity by Journik's Soldiers since 5 AM. Premier Korlov ordered the airport to watched at all times to avoid any flanking manuevers.

Peldof had nearly fallen asleep as the Airport was as silent as a graveyard.

"Can't wait to get done with this shit so Captain Micohoneye can stop assigning me to watching pigeons" he said under his breath.

As Peldof got up to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of a jet engine.

The Multonian Airliner broke through the clouds as it began to make its descent.

Journik's army tanks soon followed, breaking through the southern gate. Four in number with a rear guard of Journik's Soldiers following close behind them. Journik had come to seize the airport.

"Shit!" Peldof screamed as he scrambled to find the flare gun before firing a single shot in the air.

You only have to be stuff in spoiler if it's Out of Character

Unless it's your preference

Anywho, I'll see if I can post a bit later

[Multonia]

“Commencing final approach.” the pilot called out. Slowly, the plane pulled into a turn which perfectly aligned them with the airport runway. The landing gear was deployed.

And there it was: a formal-looking and a very presidential airliner, colors blue, white, and gold, commencing a final ILS approach on the runway. It slowly went down: 1000. 900. 800. 700.

Nothing happened next. The landing gear was retracted, the engines screamed louder, and the nose pitched up as the plane cruised over the runway before executing a left turn, before rotating out to 15,000 feet and higher before executing a holding pattern before diverting to another airport to land.

[Multonia]

The plane diverted and set course for another airport.

Meanwhile at 35,000 feet, two MADF stealth bombers penetrated the airspace, just south of the capital. They were two state-of-the-art EB-55 bombers, capable of carrying a portion of ordnance and capable of striking from up high. These bombers are crewed by six personnel each, with each crew member having their own responsibility.
But for now they soared high in the sky, the sunlight reflecting off the planes’ black paint scheme as they soared above the clouds at full speed. Their bombardiers were already scanning the ground for any surface threats, should there be one, a cruise missile would be dropped and would go pitch down directly towards the target.
For now, these bombers were already at a very very safe altitude, safe from hostile attack. Of course, they’re stealth bombers, powered by their mighty rocket engines which left some trails in the sky.

Now they’ve detected some threats. And these were REAL threats. Tanks were already storming towards the airport at full speed, and they were already being tracked by the radar, thanks to a nearby MADF AWACS system that was flying 6,000 feet directly above them but was far off from them.

Two bomb bay doors opened, and the first payload appeared at the bomb bay: an air-to-ground cruise missile, followed by three others being locked in the hold. A ping rang out in the cockpit, indicating that they had a lock on the targets. Followed by the second bomber. The pilots of the second bomber had a lock on, and they were seconds away from dropping the payload. The signal came. The bombardier aimed the crosshairs at the tanks, and pressed the button on the control stick. Out dropped an AGM, followed by a second one that dipped and fired its rocket motor; so did the first one. The missiles dove towards the targets near the airport, fast.

10:22 AM

April 24th, 2020

Journik's Soldiers didn't know what hit them as their spearhead went up in flames.

With the battle suddenly turning against them, Jounrik's Soldiers retreated at the sight of advancing Loyalist Soldiers.

Soon enough, Paleograd International was filled with murmuring voices as Loyalist soldiers occupied the South Gate.

Captain Michoneye soon arrives with his own personal convoy to the control tower.

Making his way up to the top of the tower, he takes control of one of the headsets to contact the Multonians.

"Thank You for your assistance Comrades, the ground is clear" he speaks into the radio, letting out a smile.

General Journik's Headquarters, Fort Petamagh, Southern Paleograd

10:34 AM

April 24th, 2020

"What do you mean we've been attacked by foreign aircraft?!" shouts Journik to his subordinates

The General's Headquarters had been a hive of activity since the skirmish at the airport. People had been moving in and out for the past 10 minutes at lightning speed trying to make sense of the situation.

"It seems they have Miscontrued our offensive as an attack on them, Sir." said the unfortunate Captain tasked with giving Journik the news -- trying not to cower in fear as the General grew increasingly angry. "An Aircraft containing the Multonian President was trying to land and we may have caused some panic..Sir" said the Captain.

Jorunik slammed his fists against the table.

This would be a propaganda coup for that despot Korlov -- as it made seem Journik to be irrational. The Premier had forced the hand of Journik in order to take any blame off himself. He was always a manipulative bastard.

Send a message to the Multonians apologizing for your mistake and see if we can take Korlov's propaganda coup away from him. Journik spoke.

The Captain saluted and began to turn away before Journik grabbed him by the shoulder.

and if you ever do something that stupid again I won't hesitate to surrender you to the Red Guards to see what fun they'd have with you Journik smiled.

[Multonia]

The president was not on board

The plane touched down at another airport, which was close to the capital. They immediately parked beside a hangar, and soon they stepped out of the plane into a convoy that was waiting for them.
They immediately sped out of the airport and were headed directly into the city. Once they drove into the city, they had no idea what was happening. The streets looked as if a coup was really ongoing, with random stuff going on there and there. There were some people, running for cover due to a sudden strike caused by two strategic stealth bombers that were already zooming away from Shetialandi airspace to be replaced by a Navy carrier group that would be stationed in the area. The attachés in the convoy were there to find out what was happening in the capital, and why there is an ongoing struggle between opposing groups for the seat of Shetialand’s power. Outside the car’s limo, Brody could see two columns of smoke in the main center of the capital. He looked back inside and never cared to look outside as they sped toward a Kremlin-like building.


Up in the sky, the bombers were given the all clear to exit the capital airspace but then changed to flying over Shetialandi territory, while an additional squadron of Navy fighters would be launched close to the country’s airspace.

Aircraft Carrier Belgorod
Near the coastline of the initial invasion

Time: 01:23 AM

Fleet Size: 130 Submarines, 14 Cruisers, 7 Battleships, 3 Aircraft carriers, 62 Destroyers

Operation: Moonlight


Commissar Zukov: Comrades of the Red Army, we have finally reach our destination. The submarines are splitting off from here and will raid the enemy convoys if there are any. The rest of us are here to establish a naval blockade and sink any ships that appear hostile. As for you comrades in the air force, your task for today is simple. The government forces are probably aware that we will attack but with the chaos caused by the uprising we have a moment of surprise. I want 80 of our fighters to begin air raids on enemy airfields, satelite images revealed only some. So most of the work be on you once you are in the air. We will use the cover of night and strike at them before they can realize what happened. In 5 hours the red army will land while we begin bombardment of coastal areas to weaken any possible resistance. If you see any hostile convoys or troop movements shatter them with your rockets and bullets but spare some for those air fields. We need to break the loyalist air force if we want to succeed. 15K men will land on the beaches and they will expect you to clear the way inland, once the airforces of the loyalists are neutralized and our land bridge is established we will begin our invasion inland. 22 of our jet fighters will meanwhile protect our fleet from any possible counter attack.

You are here to save the workers revolution, many of us will not survive this war but it is for a greater cause then our lives could ever be worth! Once we return home i want the people to sing the songs of our victory, not of our defeat at the hands of stalinists. The motherland will be our shield against this failed revolution, make the red army proud once again. For we are the elite of Belgorod Soviet!


Air Squad 6

Nassau,Captain Karnov's Flagship

A Man Knocked on the door

Karnov Walked Over Opening the door

The Informant walked in and spoke, "Captain Karnov" he shook the captains hand

The Captain Nodded, "Take a Seat"

The Informant looked at the captain, "My Payment first"

The Captain singled one of his crewmen to bring the payment

The Informant took the cash and nodded, "What do you need to know, Captain"

The Captain Spoke, "Any Specifics?"

The Informant thought for a moment before Speaking, "3 Aircraft Carriers were spotted along with a large battlegroup of destroyers"

The Captain Pondered "And Who sent the fleet"

[Eclius]

Rome, Eclius.
"conflict broke out between loyalist forces and a military force led by Commander Journik," a news anchor from Eclisian Herald Said, "sources indicate that the force led by Journik took quote 'military actions' against the plane carrying the president of Multonia.We have yet to receive an official statement from the Inner Senate of Eclius"

The members of Inner Senate watched the live broadcast of the situation by Eclisian Herald on a giant flat-screen TV, as the Chief of Communications was busily preparing a speech for Caesaris Tiberia with regarding to the situation in Shetialand. Though she hadn't officially addressed the public, Eclius' stance on this issue was rather clear. The Empire's national interest was beyond all, and Tiberia wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. That afternoon, an she made a speech to address the nation in front of senatorial building.
"The situation in Shetialand has reached a critical point," she said, "It is unfortunate that the conflict in Shetialand has resulted in the loss of many lives while many others were displaced. Eclisian government urge all factions involved in this conflict to exercise restraint, and abide by international charters which oversee the security and safety of civilians. Meanwhile, the senate and people of Eclius will closely monitor the situation and take necessary actions to prevent humanitarian disasters. Thank you"

Though the speech did not explicitly indicate the stance of Eclisian government in this, the intention of the inner senate was made crystal clear to the experts in political science. The loyalist forces must fall, it fits the national interest of Eclius to support Journik's forces, though, Eclisian government would prefer not to get involved militarily when necessary. Later that day, a top secret message was sent to Journik's HQ in Fort Petamagh

Code: Select all

TO: General Journik
FROM: Eclisian Inner Senate, Eclisian Department of International Affairs
ENCRYPTION: X (TOP SECRET)

General Journik, the senate and people of Eclius is fully aware of the situation, and wish to provide necessary support in effort to defeat the loyalist forces. We wish to provide financial support, along with Eclisian military supplies to your forces. We understand that Paleograd International is currently under the control of loyalist forces, please indicate an alternative airport in which our planes can land to deliver the supplies. We would also like to offer the access to Eclius' cutting edge CV-35 surveillance satellite system.

A separate message was sent from the Department of Security and Intelligence to Journik's forces that provided the access code to the Eclisian surveillance satellite.

Does Shetialand have any coastal regions? Or is it away from the ocean at all sides?
