The Fourth Henna-Kasselen Civil war (IC)

[Tyrantio Land]

Ok, but was the invasion a success.

OOC: but they didn't manage to take the entire of New Henna-Kassel.
IC:
The Kingmen and Henna-Kasselen Militaries fortify New Henna-Kassel

OOC: What parts, also the invasion must have taken most of NHK. So how much did the invasion take, how much is still under NHK control. I need this so that I(The Tyranti military) can launch a counter attack.

OOC: Ok, counter attack.

IC: New Henna-Kassel looked like the other Henna-Kassel, war torn, invaded, attacked by rebels. 2,000 Tyranti soldiers arrived in the capital and immediately began pushing the rebels back. They attack at the town of Gabel.

[New Kowloon Bay]

In NKB, after the declaration of war, the 45th and 46th fleets set sail in the direction of The King Isle. Atop the ships, 15 fighter jets from 21st airborne division fly towards the King Isle, continually patrolling for enemy ships and planes.

In NKB, an ICBM is prepared but not launched.

The Janpian Revolutionary Expedition Fleet is on full alert. The 4 Kalinka Class cruisers carrying 8x H-98 multirole VTOL jets were setted out to patrol. The Kalinka Class Cruisers were the pride of the revolution fleet. Equipped with advance missiles and defense. It was also escorted by 10 Union Class Destroyers which can carry 2 VTOL H-98 jets. After JURIC (Janpian Union Revolutionary Intelligence Center) recieved a report about the incoming NKB 45th and 46th fleet, the homeland decided to send 20 Munchen-Class submarine to the Expeditionary Fleet.

"Breaking News! Conflict escalates in Henna-Kassel as more factions are now involved in the civil war. Experts fear for a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable scale...."

President Minasli Lambert watched the news broadcast as she slowly sipped a cup of earl gray.
[Adviser]: Madam President, as of today, more factions have joined in the conflict, Americans have formally declared their support for the government forces along with King Isle.
[Pres. Lambert]: Do we have any forces in the region?
[Minister of Defense]: Carrier groups Alpha, Theta, and Gamma are within 500 nautical miles. However, as of this morning, maintenance requests were made from the Gamma fleet. This would leave us with two carrier groups in the region.
[Minister of Security and Intelligence]: Our intel on Henna-Kassel is yet limited, though based on our estimates, the government of Henna-Kasselen shouldn't have any problems fending off against the fascists
[Pres. Lambert]: Zoe, notify the Sibyl group, have them collect some intel on Henna-Kassel
[Minister of Security and Intelligence]: Yes mam.
[Minister of Foreign Affairs]: Madam President, I believe a satisfactory response is required with the Americans.
[Pres. Lambert]: we're not their slaves. If Americans want to get sunk into the mire that's their choice. For now, let's focus on evacuating our citizens from Henna-Kasselen. Send messages to both sides, and let them know of our intention. There's not reason for us to get involved at this stage. Also, we need to get in touch with the other parties, namely the Americans, King Isles, and Zabbuqulaq.
[Minister of Foreign Affairs]: Of course, mam.
[Pres. Lambert]: Let's hope this will work out. As of now, the Techno-Progressives (the biggest opposition party) are after us, and the polls are not in our favor. We need the evacuation process to be smooth and effective. Moreover, we cannot drag ourselves into a war at this point. We must focus our attention and money on the development of our IT sector in order to compete with Americans. We are to stay neutral...for now.

Later that afternoon. Messages were sent out to the governments of America, King Isles, and Zabbuqulaq, requesting an official dialogue between the President of Eclius and other foreign leaders. Carrier Fleets Alpha and Beta were deployed to the region, and transportation helicopters carrying Eclisian navy commandos and medical personnel were sent to Henna-Kasselen to evacuate Eclisian citizens in the region. Moreover, all of the involved factions were notified of Eclius' evacuation efforts.

[Unidentified account]This stops now, President. We are sick and tired of you getting into wars we don't want.
[From the desk of President Michart]Joseph, is this a prank? I don't like it.
[Unidentified account] We are not Joseph. Pull out of the Civil War or we will be forced to intervene.
[From the desk of President Michart] Who are you? Rebels in one of the remote islands, perhaps
[Unidentified account]Answer the question. Are you going to pull out or do we have to intervene?

Later that night, near the King Isles:
[Private John Kapowski]Sir, I have just recieved a telegram from an unidentified user.
[Corporal Kelly Simmons]Read it out, private. But don't respond. It could be a virus.
[Private John Kapowski]Yes sir. The message reads:
Dear soldiers of the NKB Army,

Return to NKB at once. This war, the war that you are risking your life for, has been engineered by the one and only Eliza Michart. You have seen what the Slaver Crusade did to our economy, and then we were fighting on an uneven front. Now, this war is one against many, and she expects us to walk into death again. We must unite. We must unite.....and now for the opening act.

That's what the message says, sir. I don't know about the string of letters at the end. Could be a coded message.
[Unidentified account]Hello, dearies.
[spoiler=Voice message. Listen?]Blueberry pie, the Michart must die. I repeat. Orange is the new black.[/spoiler]
[Private John Kapowski]What? Who are you? Identify yourself!
[Corporal Kelly Simmons]WORKERS OF NKB UNITE!
[Unidentified account]Now that's more like it, dearie.

The next day
Five ships have blown up in waters near the King Isle. Reports speculate it was man-made, and police suspect the King Isles created it. More and more mili...
[Unidentified voice]Turn down the TV. We're striking soon, anyway.

[Gonswanza]

With the drone reinforcements incoming, the trio of drones, now flying "solo", decide to engage hostile troops below. Cross-checking with maps, the drones launch one missile each against the invading fascists, intent on spreading terror through the ranks while also offering to stack bodies on their side, aiding with the counter-attack on the ground. A silent action, even as the missiles streak down to earth while drone operators aboard Redeemer watch their screens carefully and guide the missiles to their targets.

SIC: Back home, Mawar goes over the details. Sure, a Colossus could be sent in, but the presence of aircraft was worrisome. Even if it would be flying far higher than the drones it was a risk he was not wanting to take, given that unlike drones the "superweapon" was far, far more expensive and carried a cost in human lives as well. But he also considers the nuclear option, given that should any one country strike against King Isle, the only proper response would be to pull back and launch a SLAM, offering the last laugh as NHK would be salted beyond recognition, in theory, with death to come long after the bombs drop as a plague of the salted earth. The Gangut class subs would also support the move, though once they do launch their missiles they would have to escape somehow without being caught. That was the only risk should things go nuclear. But it was just a waiting game now, given the relative temperament of slavers, per Mawar's thoughts anyways.

[New Kowloon Bay]

NKB abruptly pulls out of the war, citing internal issues. They will still support NHK, just only economically.(to buy weapons and stuff)

[Greatest States Of America]

Although, the congress and America had declared war against Zabbuqulaq and other pro-slavery nations no action had took place till now. The public approval for the war against pro-slavery nations and Zabbuqulaq particularly was 82% per cent in favour. Experts and political scientists compared American actions to the ''Phoney War'' of WW2. President Joe Biden along with Vice president, Secretary Of State, Defence Secretary, Chairman Joint Chief Of Staff, CIA director and other high official rankings decided to meet today to lay out the strategy for war and military intervention in Henna Kassel. The crisis is getting out of hand and America as the sole multiverse power on planet Earth had to decide soon.
MORE UPDATES SOON!!

[The Territories of Sealand]

As the Sealandian economy continues to deteriorate, the gradual easing of restrictions (by 'gradual', I mean 0.1% more people get to leave the house) combined with the slow fall of the cases of the virus despite an increase in testing, though tests is not mass produced yet, results in a slightly more confident Sealand, and a cheerful Little Brother, and the announcement of the production of the first few artillery guns, ammo and a couple of bombers, all up for purchase/ lend-leasing by the coalition.

Later that day, a message was sent out to the White House, inviting key political figures of America to attend an emergency NATO member states meeting at the sleek, newly constructed headquarter of NATO located in Brussels, Eclius. A message was also sent from the Ministry of Security and Intelligence to the United States Secret Service, inviting their counterparts to make the security preparations for this meeting. Moreover, American delegation team was invited to stay at one of the best hotels in Brussels located within walking distance to the newly constructed headquarter of NATO.

Henna-Kasselen
As the transportation aircraft and helicopters arrived in Henna-Kasselen, Eclisian citizens started to evacuate the area in an orderly fashion with no interference with other factions. Contracts were also made between Eclisian government and private airline companies so that commercial planes can be used to accelerate the evacuation process. Invitations were also sent out from the Bureau of Immigration to top-tier STEM experts and other influential scholars from Henna-Kasselen to immigrate to Eclius.

As the Sealandian economy continues to deteriorate, the gradual easing of restrictions (by 'gradual', I mean 0.1% more people get to leave the house) combined with the slow fall of the cases of the virus despite an increase in testing, though tests is not mass produced yet, results in a slightly more confident Sealand, and a cheerful Little Brother, and the announcement of the production of the first few artillery guns, ammo and a couple of bombers, all up for purchase/ lend-leasing by the coalition.

In response to the deterioration of Sealand's Economy, several major banks (both public and private) in Eclius invested billions of Euro to short major Sealandian stocks. (OOC: in case you're unfamiliar with the term "short-selling", here's an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_(finance) ). It appeared to be an unethical way to make money, but the Eclisians learned these techniques from their friends that live on Wall Street. Moreover Eclisian financial assessment companies were encouraged to lower their credit reviews towards major Sealandian companies. Major Eclisian arms manufacturing companies started to offer cheaper deals so they can out-compete their businesses rivals from Sealand. Eclisian news outlets were also encouraged to "exaggerate the pandemic situation in Sealand".

Reports of NKB"s withdrawal from the war have reached to the Janpian Revolutionary Expedition Force command which is under General Antovon. The H-98 Aircrafts patrolling the area were sent back to the Expeditionary Fleet and a go signal was given to land at Henna Kasselen. They landed on the south of the island and a forward base is made. As more forces arrives, they set out some spy planes to see the fascist's locations and hideouts.

OOC: Southern Henna Kassel is very hard to access. It has the most difficult terrain in the world. its completely surrounded by Big Mountains which make it nearly impossible for any invader to enter from that side. it's just another Afghanistan from the southern side. You should try to invade from the West it's easier cause it's just plain grounds.

OOC: Ight. Will do.

IC: A new relocation order was called. The southern side of Henna Kasselen is becoming difficult due to limited space provided by the terrain as more supplies arrived. The forward base was relocated on the west of the Island and supply ships were ordered to dock there. The Expeditionary Force who landed on south left on board the transport ships enrouted to the western side of the Island. Only a few special forces along with their supplies were left to scout for any possible enemy locations hiding in the mountains.

Little Brother greatly thanks the USA for the economic aid during these turbulent times, and the results were a reduction in oil prices. However, as oil stores go down rapidly, prices are expected to rapidly climb soon after, which caused Sealand to sell oil for even lower prices. However, there are not enough oil for it to keep the Sealandian economy together, and so plans have been made to streamline production of air-superiority fighters and tanks as competition arises from Eclius, while the economy is destabilized by the short selling by Eclius. As such, Sealand's economic future is uncertain.

As for the epidemic, the situation seems more and more hopeful as despite an increase in testing, the bio-weapon seems to be dying out. Little Brother is reluctant to ease restrictions too quickly, citing threats to the existence of a Sealand, but economic competition and the fall of the bio-weapon has resulted in pressure to ease restrictions quickly, as testing kits start to be looked close to as favourably than arms manufacturing, but not as favourable. Mass-testing is soon to be a real possibility and epidemic related trade restrictions are abolished entirely, though if anyone is trading in person, they need to wear a bio-suit. Trade and economic interaction with the fascist faction is deemed dangerous to Sealandian independence, so trade with the fascist bloc is not permitted.

Gonswanza decides to try to trade arms with Sealand, a mild aside as support for their economy, though it was more so to try to get guns moving and ships sailing to try to form a bond instead of some more formal diplomacy. In either case, Gonswanza also tries to use this as a guise to gather samples of the bioweapon for more personal research, with the intent of smuggling viral samples into Gonswazna out of good faith, just to try to find a vaccine or cure for the disease itself.

Little Brother is reluctant to ease restrictions too quickly, citing threats to the existence of a Sealand, but economic competition and the fall of the bio-weapon has resulted in pressure to ease restrictions quickly, as testing kits start to be looked close to as favourably than arms manufacturing, but not as favourable. Mass-testing is soon to be a real possibility and epidemic related trade restrictions are abolished entirely, though if anyone is trading in person, they need to wear a bio-suit. Trade and economic interaction with the fascist faction is deemed dangerous to Sealandian independence, so trade with the fascist bloc is not permitted.

Gonswanza decides to try to trade arms with Sealand, a mild aside as support for their economy, though it was more so to try to get guns moving and ships sailing to try to form a bond instead of some more formal diplomacy. In either case, Gonswanza also tries to use this as a guise to gather samples of the bioweapon for more personal research, with the intent of smuggling viral samples into Gonswazna out of good faith, just to try to find a vaccine or cure for the disease itself.

Sealand agrees to trade arms with Gonswanza, as Sealand hires more workers, enabling testing kits to finally be mass produced, and this is highly prioritised. Cases have been low, but a cure is still desired as the bio-weapon is widely feared among society an all levels, resulting in bio-weapons being banned in Sealand as a 'threat to humanity' (other WMDs will still be used by Sealand if deemed as necessary). The recession seems to be slowing down with resumed trade and more produce, and an 'annual sale' is prepared when Sealand will go all in on arms manufacturing, but the economic curve has not gone upwards, and the short selling poss a threat to the ealandian economy. In the meantime, Eclius is winning the arms selling competition as Sealand appears to have more urgent matters than selling weapons in preparation for entering a war that Sealand won't enter anyway.

Little Brother proposes a trade deal:

• Sealand will trade air-superiority fighters, tanks and submarines

• Gonswanza will help find a cure/vaccine and send some steel to fuel Sealand's industry

• OOC: Both sides of the deal will decide how much their nation will get out of this agreement

In response to the efforts made to resuscitate Sealand's declining economy, international lobbying groups were hired to sabotage these efforts. Meanwhile, messages were sent by Eclius' top arms manufacturing companies to Gonswanza, offering to sell top-tier Eclisian fighter jets such as Dassault Rafale and Euro-fighter Typhoon at a lowered price. More money were poured in to short major Sealandian stocks.

Eclisian Herald Breaking News!
Davidson-Muller (a top-tier Eclisian financial assessment firm) has once again lowered its credit review for Sealand! Experts claim that a combination of failed pandemic response efforts by Sealandian government as well as its recent involvement in the Henna-Kasselen Civil War have greatly impacted Sealandian economy. Coming up next, war continues in Henna-Kasselen! Experts have warned that a humanitarian crisis is possible if the war does not stop. Early this afternoon, the Cynosure has announced a plan to send aids and set up refugee-protected areas within Henna-Kasselen. Meanwhile, an emergency NATO meeting is expected tomorrow in Brussels.

In the meantime, messages were sent out to King Isles, America, Zabbuqulaq, Gonswanza, the government of Henna-Kasselen as well as the fascist forces about the establishment of safe-zones within Henna-Kasselen. Once a location is agreed upon, Eclisian government will send medical personnel and supplies to aid the refugees and those displaced by the war.

President Mawar chuckles from the attempts to torch the economy, waving it off given the arms agreement, while also agreeing to send steel and even auto parts. In turn, Gonswanza gets tanks and fighters, along with submarines. Simple and easy, with more dedicated strides being taken to aid in solving the issue of disease.

Yet, this also means that should Sealand (somehow) press against the deal or disrupt trade for internal reasons, Gonswanza would be forced to back out and end trade temporarily before looking elsewhere for better deals.

"As if some money-grubbing chump is going to tell me that I can't trade with this country. If we are to act on the world stage, may as well take the risk. Even if it does kill me."

Nekkko, They were known for their wars of combat and such. But they were silent for over a year, some said it was because they were beating up rebels who were dissenting, others say it was a civil war.

However, today something happened, they have returned.

Nekkkoan armies appeared on the coasts of the King Isle, reminding everyone in the war that due to King Isle's Communist/Socialist Government, they were their alley.

And so technically Nekkko was now in the war, a large nation who has influence all over the world and is strong in military and arms manufacturing, with their Communist economy through the roof, they can buy and give weapons to their little Socialist alley.
