October 7th, 106 AUR
Operation Red Phantom; Surrender
2150 Hours Anagonian Standard Time
Sergeant Damian Walker; Dragon Fire Company Commander

"Damn shame then I won't be able to taste that champagne," the Sergeant said with a grin. "Looks like it could of been one helluva interesting party."

Turning to address his Marines, the Sergeant spoke loudly.

"Dragon Fire Company! You heard the Corporal! Our new friends in the Royal Sombreland Marines have requested us to prepare for processing! Marines assigned to vehicles, hop in and sort them by the silo. Every other Marine is expected to fall out and form up by the silo for processing. Have your weapons and gear ready for inspection! Move it!"

There was no second looks from the Sergeant, simply the Marine in combat gear marching onward towards the instructed area. The Anagonian Marines all worked professionally and with rigid order to their march. The sun was waning in the sky, night was taking over. A few of the Marines managed to get in some drinks of canteen water as they marched, much to the disapproval of their Squad Leaders who took note. The military vehicles of the convoy moved courteously so as to not to give off any threatening speed or movement. They filed in, one after the other and all lining behind the Light Tank, making their way with the marching Company of Marines over to the Silo. Each one, in order, filed up and in line as the crews filed out and turned off the vehicles.

Code: Select all: FLASH FLASH FLASH ZULU TANGO ZULU; WHAT IS SIERRA TANGO ALPHA TANGO? END FLASH

The small PDA on the Sergeants wrist vibrated as once again a flash message came through. It was from the crew or pilot of the AV-30 that had originally dropped the Sergeant off, the lead AV-30 of the formation. He quickly sent a reply, knowing if he didn't very soon they would be over here bringing hell.

Code: Select all: FLASH FLASH FLASH DRAGON FIRE; IT IS OSCAR KILO; HOTEL OSCAR LIMA DELTA END FLASH

Just as the Sergeant and his Marines made way to the silo to form up for processing, his PDA vibrated again with a WILCO from Zulu Tango Zulu. He sighed in relief. Everyone was on the same page. He made out in the distance the dwindling sparkles of the afterburners on the F/A-18C's heading towards the ocean. Whatever was gonna happen now, they were alone. He still could call the AV-30 gunships if needed. They'd likely meet impossible resistance, but the Royal Marines here didn't seem the type to shoot cooperating Marines.

He hoped.

"Alright Marines!" the Sergeant called as all thirty of his Company surrounded him in file and line. "Let's begin to put out our gear. Squad Leaders, treat this as Company Inspection. Gear out, state name, state numbers. Do not give any further information. Do I make myself clear?!"

"Yes, Sergeant!" the Marines shouted back. Each and every Marine, including the Sergeant, began to lay out a mat from their pack as they placed their gear pack beside it and began to sort out the goods. Everything was to be presented, from gear stored on their tactical vests to their weapons and backpack itself.

October 7th, 106 AUR
Operation Red Phantom; Surrender
2210 Hours Anagonian Standard Time
RQ-11 Raven RQ#554A; Just outside the perimeter of Sikklosa

The Pilot of Zulu Tango Zulu had ordered a drone to be launched for observation. Two RQ-11's were sent out, one to the west and one to the north. The one to the north, RQ#554A, was in position and quietly circling just beyond the expected AOA of where the Royal and Confederate Marines were undertaking their "greeting". Its camera was super focused on the Confederate Marines, focusing occasionally on the Royal Marines as they "processed" the Confederates. Sergeant Walker had apparently conducted the processing in traditional inspection style. The pilot of the AV-30 watching the drone screens concurred. It would and seemed to be making things much easier.

One of the crew of Zulu Tango Zulu took over the screen after a moment, working with the autonomous systems of the RQ drone as it maintained a set patrol path and its camera kept focused on the important area of interest. They would monitor the interaction closely, making sure the Royal Marines kept their noses away from the insides of the convoy vehicles and maintained a recording to monitor any Geneva Convention and International Law violations to use at a later date. It was a morbid anticipation to prepare for, but it was a requirement nonetheless.

SIC:
Reaper Squadron reaches their drop point. The drones race ahead as the bombers loiter, before a series of long ranged anti-radiation missiles are deployed, with jammers being turned off to allow the missiles to work their magic.

In the wake of this first wave made to penetrate airspace, the drones used IFF signatures to appear as the Technate's own, popping up on radar as soon as the jammers flickered off. The missiles however were clearly not of their own design.

Soon after that, the first wave of cruise missiles was deployed, most were targeting air defenses, but the rest targeted the city of Bradia in a swarm of fury.

The second wave was launched after the first, targeting military depots, high population centers, hospitals, barracks, infrastructure, anywhere that had lots of people or lots of supplies. No warning, no foresight, not even a peep.

With the strike carried out, the drones would leave with the aircraft, once again using the same route as last time, retreating back over the Versalian Republic, though aboard one of the TU-160s, the crew were cheering as this was their 20th sortie. Happy 20th, Reaper 2-3. Enjoy it while it lasts.

IC:
Naval units are being pushed around, with landing craft moving for Colstrea to pick up the Gonswanzan army, as the navy continues to hound the island with airstrikes and sheer aerial superiority operations, keen on keeping the enemy's heads down before boots can arrive on the beaches.

Further out to the north, in the Republic, drones continue to harass isolated Technate forces, offering precise strikes against their artillery and air defenses, as Gonswanzan air defenses hastily prepare for deployment around Colstrea in a multi-layered complex. With the new radars that have been shipped over, they can even conduct counter-battery exercises, which are carried out promptly as the artillery units also stayed behind to offer cover for the radar sites and air defense systems.

Yet, it was not without a heavy cost, given the fatalities numbered in the hundreds, with some minor demands for reinforcements from Gonswanza.

En route to Fauxia

Indeed - Twas quite the adventure they'd had...drifting through the sea at a slow, yet effective, pace. There was no need to rush - after all - for it seemed that Armenia's allies were doing - without a doubt - well...excellent, even. Twasn't a surprise - however - as Gonswanza was amongst said allies - and their prowess on the battlefield had, at least in the eyes of the Armenians, gone unmatched. Hence why, when the news of Colstrea's liberation reached the fleet, they sought no reason to...continue on with the admiralty's word. No - rather - the Armenians sought their chance of fame. And that chance laid with Fauxia...

"Sir, " whispered Saroyan - a look not of eagerness, but of melancholy, in his eyes, "are you positive that you want to go through with this?"

"It'd be better than babysitting the Gonswanzans, that's for damn sure..."

The lieutenant sighed...for he knew that this wasn't the same captain he'd been serving under for many a month. Sure - they may've technically been the same person, but personality wise, the aging officer had - no doubt due to his reliance on the bottle - changed. Besides - drinking tends to that to a person - even those whom take up the noblest of cause - into a bumbling, incompetent fool. Hakobjanian knew this...but refused to stop. Besides - were, one day, his fleet to do go down - he'd like to go out not in fear, but doing something that would - at times - bring breaks of joy and easiness into a career filled otherwise filled with a menial and strict atmosphere.

"With all do respec-"

"You don't need to say it again, Saroyan," Hakobjanian interjected, "I've heard it a thousand times."

"Am I wrong?", the lieutenant snapped, "Who knows what type of defenses we'll be going up against?"

"Watch your tone, lieutenant...there's a reaso-"

"Sir...you'll have our blood on your hands. Please - I beg of you - reconsider," Saroyan interrupted - his face contorted into a look of anger. Twas one of the few times he'd ever questioned the captain, and yet - for whatever reason - it'd felt natural.

And so - Hakobjanian arose - a look of annoyance in his eyes. Who was Saroyan to make demands of him? Who was he to tell him what - and what not - to do? Was Saroyan in command - or was it the rightful captain, of whom was appointed by the admiralty many a month ago? Certainly - he knew what he was doing. He just needed time...

"Lieutenant...", he whispered, "I'm in command here....and I say that we go through with the assault."

Though it seemed as though Saroyan was going to respond in defiance - the younger man simply nodded and left the quarters; allowing the door to slam behind him. It'd become clear, now, and - as much as he'd like to do something about such an affront to the safety of the crew - something in him just...wouldn't allow for him to go through with it. Indeed - quite a tragedy - but, nonetheless, one of great neccessity.

How else would they achieve their moment of glory? How else would they get their names put in the papers?

CSS Imperium

Even though the helicopter ride was nothing more but a short stop between the Corvette and the Battleship, it was a long one for the Captain as he kept making assumptions about his fate. Laid off from the Revolutionary Navy? Dishonorable discharge? Shot? Such questions ran through his mind, haunting him with minor thoughts despite his best efforts to remain calm. Arriving at the decks of the Battleship, he didn't say a single word and kept his silence, since he knew that the JURIC DB24 protocol will follow. Reaching further inside, Captain Savansky received the hospitalities from Captain Scarlett and gave a slight nod. Answering the Captain, he gave a straight face and replied respectfully to his fellow rank.

Capt. Savansky:"Aye, I understand it. Clear as crystal."

Savansky slightly looked at Captain Scarlett's gun, quickly understanding what the Captain was truly saying. Indeed, it's a shame that he left his pistol to the ship's Political Commissar back on the Corvette, for he'd rather take his own life in honor than be killed by someone else. Playing along between the fine thin line, he goes along with the flow, as he was accepted by CSS Imperium.

JRS Wansunschin

Indeed the extent of the blockade is huge enough, that helicopters from JRS Dabun Javosch continue on flying across the ocean to add passive sonar buoys like a normal day. The KA-29 was confirmed by the AWACS, and later, by the ship's SPY-6 radars. Confirming its IFF tag, the ship's communication officer responded to the Antarctican Naval Honor Guard

Coms Officer:"Antarticanian Naval Guard, identity has been confirmed and registered. Proceed for landing. Over and out"

At the helicopter pad, an aircraft marshaling crew signals the helicopter for landing, waving over his two sticks as he guides them into a soft landing on the slightly rocking warship.

"Copy, out."

"Command, Hydelide 0-1. We are go for landing."
"Hydelide 0-1, Command. Confirmed, make your approach."
The crew of the Wansunschin can see the Ka-29 making pass over the starboard side of the destroyer, before making it's approach. Banking up ever so slightly to bleed off speed....
The Crew chief sits in the cockpit, next to the pilot. Reading out the dashboard's instruments and his own Heads-down display.
"1200 meters to target, rate is steady. Speed is good, speed of landing platform accounted for."
"We're in the pipe, five by five."
...Until the helicopter is gently floating over the Wansunschin until it's wheels gently make contact with the pad.
"Good landing. Engine shutdown."
The Crew Chief places his hands on the engine control lever, gradually pulling it back until the chopping of the rotors disappear into a monotone hum.

The honor guard; dressed in service dark blues, exit first. Bearing both the flag of the New Antarctican navy, and the standard of the Kyiv-II. Before the commander himself steps out of the helicopter.

Outpost Coast
Current fuckery levels: We are missing 1 crate of 60mm and 82mm Mortar shells, an IPG-1 launcher, and the captain's order of imported beer and a bottle of Rum

As the war continued Outpost Coast went under some changes first was upgrading defense capabilities such as machine gun towers and adding barricades and walls to protect the troops and other important stuff inside. Another thing happening inside the Outpost was troops were getting ready for an Operation that was to land on the other side and capture some territory allowing Republican forces to get a foothold on the other side of Gyzantia. Some troops were getting onto amphibious landing crafts while others were getting onto BTR-50s however some of these were converted into an amphibious SPG by adding an 85mm D-44 gun over the Troop Compartment and using the abundance of space in the said compartment to carry spare ammunition another conversion was adding a ZPU-4 in the troop compartment to provide fire support for infantry troops.

Once the final preparations were made the amphibious landing crafts took off with PT-76 light tanks with the BTR-50s following behind the while OSPAs after checking and replacing the equipment that caused an issue earlier started pounding the beaches and surrounding areas while OGA-2Ks that had taken off the airport in Dessin flew over to perform DEAD sorties and Close-Air-Support for the ground forces.

At the Colestra Front

At Colestra Oceanian forces were making their advances albeit it been slow due to rubble and potential attacks after a T-62 got knocked out by an AMX-30 tank but the said enemy tank got hit even harder by the help of the T-55AM2 and the other T-62. The Oceanian soldiers couldn't let the Techante forces run away from the battle just away and fired upon the ones running away although you can't kill every one of them and so a few might of got away.

On the streets, special units carrying KSR-1 flamethrowers and RPO Shemels under the protection of both IFVs and other fellow comrades went around using the KSR-1s were filling the buildings that they expect of hiding troops or were acting as makeshift supply depots with napalm burning anything inside vehicles that were left abandon (If any) had to be carefully examined to see if they rigged to explode if they were rigged they were shot with the RPO Shemels or with IPG-1 and 2 launchers to destroy them if they weren't rigged they were taken, repaired if needed and were given to both Republican Forces and Oceanian Forces to make use of any captured equipment any captured small-arms, ammo and infantry equipment such as chest rigs, helmets, etc were given to the Republic troops albeit Oceanians did also make use of captured ammo and took helmets and such as souvenirs.

Today Staatzan Aircraft flew over Marajarbian Humanitarian Aid ships and began dropping bombs on them. These pilots were not ordered to do so by the Staatzan government, but decided to act on their own accord.

In other news, The Staatzan Government have declared support for the Republic. Staatza is prepared to help the Republic. The Reichsarmee are ordered to help Republic troops

by **Southeast Marajarbia** » Sun Oct 09, 2022 3:00 am

The Marajarbian Government, seeing how the southernmost areas of Gyzantia were secured by the Anagonians and blockade-free, would dispatch at least 6,000 reinforcements to assist the current peacekeeping force.

The reasoning for such is because the Marajarbian ship being dispatched this time can use the alternative route to avoid another massacre or to avoid the still ongoing Janpian blockade.

Response to:

- Gyzantia

Somewhere on the blockade

"HIT!"

The fire control officer at JRS Dabun Javosch yelled in excitement, following what seemed to be rows upon rows of tags hitting GRN Bradia on the transmitted AWACS report. The report was also relayed to the carrier's CIC command and into the destroyer's CMS, where the sailors and officers received the cheerful message. The Carrier's bridge was filled with shouting and celebrations, as were the officers from the Hanschinburg-Class Destroyers. It's not every day that they come across a carrier, let alone sink it. Not to mention that it was the pride of the Gyzantian Navy. Indeed the sinking is a significant morale raiser to the Revolutionary Navy, seeing as how things are still locked on Aursi. Going forwards, 2 Helgo-Class Corvettes attempted to close into the carrier in order to rescue any crew or sailors. The Revolutionary Expedition Fleet has also reported the location to the humanitarian organizations, in order to attract any rescue or hospital ships nearby. Following the protocols, the 2 Corvettes raised the red cross flag, turned off its armaments sector on the CMS, covered the barrels and missile batteries, and stated its identity on the IFF tag as a hospital ship. They also added a huge red cross tarpaulin over the sides of the ship to further enforce that it is a hospital ship.

Coast of Port Nithu

With the beaches secure, more forces pushed into the beach, while APCs rushed to the front to form the spearhead. JP-2 Tanks were also formed, while the flanks continues to be reinforced by the incoming Revolutionaries. Hisshins, thanks to its DIRCM and AWACS early report, launched chaff and flares, and dodge the detected missile flight plan, altering its course towards a safe space. Though it was too late for them to retaliate, as SAC-12s leave the battlespace. While the sniper became a challenge to the signal companies, they were attacked by the incoming Hisshin Aircrafts equipped with AGM-114, launching them towards the sniper, as it was guided thanks to the signal company marking their locations with lasers. Satellite-discovered artillery units were also pounded by the incoming Hisshin jets, who used AGM-154 to launch missiles outside of the anti-air range.

Avis Island
Off the Coast of Colstrea

Six SAC-12s shot overhead as the CNS Gideon moved at full sail into position 14km from Avis island, where Technate forces had using its favourable position and airfield to bombard Colstrean cities with artillery shells and airstrikes. In tandem with a invasion force led from the mainland by the Colstrean, the Countesians had lent one of their destroyers and six hundred of its own naval infantry to join the attack. An amphibious invasion of the island had been planned, but it relied on the artillery being silenced for the landing ships to make landfall without being on the receiving end of almost three doze 155mm howitzers and some longer range self propelled artillery pieces.

In the distance, the SAC-12's launched their payloads of anti-radiation missiles at the islands SAM radars, filling the horizon with almost a dozen flashes that took out a significant portion of the islands SAM capability in one strike. The jets pulled up moments later and banked hard to the left to avoid the remainders of the the technates anti-air weaponry and ascended back into the clouds where they could no longer be seen by the naked eye. They weren't alone in the skies, for several unarmed Countesian UAV's had taken advantage of the focus being put onto the Colstrean SAC-12's and had slipped into visual range, their onboard identification software relaying the coordinates of SAM sites, howitzer emplacements and troop concentrations to the CNS Gideons fire control system. Their presence would not go unnoticed for long, as soon one of the drones feeds abruptly cut out. The UAV operators still in the sky adjusted the direction of their cameras to see a the telltale sign of a MANPAD launch from the surface. The order had been given to turn back, but it was too late, the feeds of each drone cut out.

But it was too little too late for the technate, for their coordinates had already been relayed to the Countesian and Colstrean forces. The Gideon began firing its 127mm gun relentlessly at the groupings of howitzers, and launched six of its SH2-Strident missiles in succession, Each one arching in the sky towards the island at blistering speeds. Seconds later, another series of flashes rocked the island, this time taking out the remainder of the technates radar capability. Between the Colstrean airstrike and the Countesian naval bombardment, the CNS Gideon relayed the greenlight for the Colstrean-led land invasion to engage with assistance from Countesian soldiers and the IFV's and APC's it had brought along

ATTN: Battlefleet MELIORA, 13ESG, 09ESG, 13MSR, 09MSR, T-AH-02, T-AKE-19, 978 COMARMDIV, RCMM
(henceforth "Task Force Slamdown" or the "task force")
1. SITUATION
a. Area of Interest. The Technate of Gyzantia has fallen into civil war after decades' worth of simmering tensions, lingering inequities, and long-running insurgencies spilling over into large-scale violence. Palmyrian economic interests and Marshite religious interests are under grave risk of eradication by the Socialist Republic of Gyzantia.
b. Area of Operations. The Technate of Gyzantia is composed mostly of flatland interspersed with forests and rivers, with cities regularly spaced across the Technate's plains.
c. Enemy Forces. The Royal Commonwealth has officially declared the commencement of offensive military operations against the Socialist Republic of Gyzantia after it has brazenly threatened and nationalized Palmyrian economic interests in the area.
d. Friendly Forces. In addition to Technate forces, the following forces are in support of the Technate: the Grecian People's Empire of Helakos, Kingdom of Sombreland, United States of America, The Soveinian City-State of Soveiniesberg, and the Constitutional Monarchy of Novia
e. Attachments and Detachments. Aside from the aforementioned units in the ATTN section, none.
f. Civilian Considerations. At least eight nations are currently providing humanitarian aid for civilians trapped in the crossfire. Exercise diplomacy where possible.

2. MISSION
WHO: Battlefleet Paraluman, 15th and 16th Expeditionary Strike Groups, 15th and 16th Marine Strike Regiments
WHAT: Assist the Technate in retaking the separatist Socialist Republic of Gyzantia.
WHERE: Technate of Gyzantia
WHEN: Effective upon receipt of OPORD and until orders to withdraw.
WHY: A civil war posing a major threat to Palmyrian interests in the area.

3. EXECUTION
a. Commander's Intent: STRATCOM in ARAGON wishes to help the Technate retake the separatist Socialist Republic, and defend Palmyrian interests in the region.
b. Concept of Operations. Battlefleet MELIORA, as the main naval component of the operational order, is to conduct naval search-and-destroy missions against Socialist and allied naval forces and, alongside 13ESG and 09ESG, provide naval fire support for 13MSR and 09MSR. 13MSR and 09MSR shall execute a beach landing in a lightly-defended area from which to conduct further operations. PWS Esmee Inosanto (T-AH-02), as a hospital ship, is to be primarily used to provide medical care for the task force, but allied nations' units can be accommodated at the captain's discretion. PWS Gemina (T-AKE-19), as the primary cargo ship, is to haul and provide reserve supplies on top of what is carried on the assigned units' T-AOEs. The 978th Combined Arms Division is to be the main ground force for the operation. Royal Commonwealth Merchant Marine vessels are to provide additional logistics support for the operation.
c. Movement and Manoeuvre. MELIORA, 13ESG, 09ESG are to secure naval dominance in the area before landing 13MSR, 09MSR, and the 978th Combined Arms Division.
d. Coordinating Instructions. All gathered intel is to be relayed to Gyzantian and allied forces at the soonest time possible, preferably in real-time. Neutral vessels are not to be hailed other than for typical maritime navigation and communication protocols.

4. ADMIN AND LOGISTICS
a. Administration. Casualties that require medical attention other than can be reliably given by the assigned naval units (such as prolonged intensive care) are to be evacuated to friendly Gyzantia.
b. Logistics. The primary point of supply for the task force is friendly territory in Gyzantia, with T-AKE-19 and the assigned units' T-AOEs serving as forward supply runners for the task force.
With our hands to the sun - we are Palmyria!

Naval Station Batangan
Southern Tagalog Federal Republic, Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth

As soon as WARNO Blue Phalanx was issued by STRATCOM ARAGON, all units mentioned in the WARNO immediately mustered their troops and made preparations for a potential invasion of the Socialist Republic of Gyzantia. Primary take-off point for the whole task force was from Naval Station Batangan, with naval transport towards Gyzantia facilitated by the mighty Royal Commonwealth Merchant Marine. Of course it was a WARNO for now, as STRATCOM was to talk with their Gyzantian counterparts where they can settle their troops in for the meantime. What use was a task force this huge if there was nowhere to offload them, nowhere for them to use as a major resupply point and base of operations? TheMarines, the Few and the Proud, would be the spearhead of the eventual offensive military operation against the Socialist Republic, but even the sharpest of spearheads was useless if there was nowhere to thrust it into, and preferably into the gaps in the enemy's armor.

Both strategic and operational considerations and questions were the main reasons for the military correspondence sent by STRATCOM ARAGON to their Gyzantian counterparts in Fauxia.

A voice message was sent to them by the Technate's Army Command.

"This is the Technate Army Command. We thank your nation to helping in our fight against socialism and communism. We will be opening and informing ports in Hatrap for landing through sea. Transport through air is discourgaed, as a no-fly zone is being enacted by the Anagonians. The Northern Forces Commander, General Aliss Prodhan will be waiting for your arrival in the port, to welcome and give you latest information before deploying your forces to the front. We will also send another report later about the general situation of the situation in Gyzantia. Glory to the Technate and to the Royal Family."

This message was then transferred to the commanding officers in Sikklosa. They would also inform the Janpian forces to do the same to avoid being attacked. Most, or actually, half of the Socialist troops followed their commanders and retreated from Sikklosa into Hortread and small towns dotted through the highway. Rain poured through the retreating Socialists, as their revolutionary spirit ignited by the situation. A forced retreat because of a ceasefire, to give up a city for the diplomacy of two foreign nations, the propaganda striking the students, with their minds thinking of the Sikklosan people being murdered by the Technate troops.

They swore to themselves....that they will not do this again.

Those who stayed, raised white flags to follow with the orders of a ceasefire. Technate artillery strikes have ceased, and reports have flodded in of the Technate and Sombreland troops stopping from the advance to Sikklosa. They felt like they have done the correct course of action: to avoid bloodshed.

Your Majesty,

While I am sorry to see Mr. Herzland go, it is always difficult to put such great responsibility on the shoulders of a man who is not of royal blood. However, I believe he did try to do his duty to his country. Of course that is something that only you can be the true judge of.

I would like to urge that we support a ceasefire at Port Nithu and at Sikklosa for the time being, in order to make it possible to have negotiations. I have managed to persuade the Anagonian government to uphold this. If they can persuade the socialists to do so as well, then we can possibly consider peace talks. I realize that this would be very difficult as there are people in rebellion against your government, but it may be the best we can hope for.

If, of course, you disagree completely, then I will support your government's policy. However, my forces are currently fortifying their position rather than advancing. I beg you to consider doing the same. The Anagonians have agreed to not send further forces into Sikklosa. Let us try to have a cease fire, and try to put an end to the horrors of war.

Sincerely,
Princess-Regent Alavaine

Title: Ceasefire and Peace Negotiations

As his friend, I might say I overburdened him with stuff, mostly due to me recovering from injuries that I was not able to help him, and even with that, he did everything in his power to do what he can. I am proud of him for that.

I would also like for a ceasefire in Port Nithu and Sikklosa. With foreign allies of Colstrea invading the port at the time of the peace deal, any incident that might occur in Port Nithu will make the possibility for peace between Colstrea and the Technate smaller. The same can be said if the socialists continue fighting in our cities. We would still be willing to reintegrate them into society if they decide to join us back again. I will use my power to enforce laws and aid to help farmers and workers in the food crisis, and with the numerous nations helping each side, they can all help our nation to ease the food crisis, and these aid will be made sure to be paid back by the Technate slowly, and if possible, in one big payment.

As of now, I have also contacted Army Command to follow the ceasefire and stop the advance to Sikklosa. It is great to see a shining ray of light piercing through this bloody battlefield, as a chance for peace arrives upon us.

Sincerely,
King Issia IV, King of Gyzantia

Naval units are being pushed around, with landing craft moving for Colstrea to pick up the Gonswanzan army, as the navy continues to hound the island with airstrikes and sheer aerial superiority operations, keen on keeping the enemy's heads down before boots can arrive on the beaches.

Further out to the north, in the Republic, drones continue to harass isolated Technate forces, offering precise strikes against their artillery and air defenses, as Gonswanzan air defenses hastily prepare for deployment around Colstrea in a multi-layered complex. With the new radars that have been shipped over, they can even conduct counter-battery exercises, which are carried out promptly as the artillery units also stayed behind to offer cover for the radar sites and air defense systems.

Yet, it was not without a heavy cost, given the fatalities numbered in the hundreds, with some minor demands for reinforcements from Gonswanza.

Respondents such as firefighters and survivors of the attack immediately helped in search and rescue operations, but it was hard to do it. Numerous buidlings were hit by the attack of Bradia. It was like Port Nithu once more, but RADAR operators managed to spot where they retreated to. The South. They thought of the possibility of the Socialists commiting the attack, but a no-fly zone was established, and suspicions on them was cleared. It only left one possibility. The Versalian Republic. An enemy of the Technate. They do not want to make another front with a powerful enemy, therefore they only resorted to making the Techate's spokesperson report the attacks and make a diplomatic protest to the Versalian Republic. Any peacekeepers in Bradia would possibly be affected by the attack as well.

Current fuckery levels: We are missing 1 crate of 60mm and 82mm Mortar shells, an IPG-1 launcher, and the captain's order of imported beer and a bottle of Rum

As the war continued Outpost Coast went under some changes first was upgrading defense capabilities such as machine gun towers and adding barricades and walls to protect the troops and other important stuff inside. Another thing happening inside the Outpost was troops were getting ready for an Operation that was to land on the other side and capture some territory allowing Republican forces to get a foothold on the other side of Gyzantia. Some troops were getting onto amphibious landing crafts while others were getting onto BTR-50s however some of these were converted into an amphibious SPG by adding an 85mm D-44 gun over the Troop Compartment and using the abundance of space in the said compartment to carry spare ammunition another conversion was adding a ZPU-4 in the troop compartment to provide fire support for infantry troops.

Once the final preparations were made the amphibious landing crafts took off with PT-76 light tanks with the BTR-50s following behind the while OSPAs after checking and replacing the equipment that caused an issue earlier started pounding the beaches and surrounding areas while OGA-2Ks that had taken off the airport in Dessin flew over to perform DEAD sorties and Close-Air-Support for the ground forces.

At the Colestra Front

At Colestra Oceanian forces were making their advances albeit it been slow due to rubble and potential attacks after a T-62 got knocked out by an AMX-30 tank but the said enemy tank got hit even harder by the help of the T-55AM2 and the other T-62. The Oceanian soldiers couldn't let the Techante forces run away from the battle just away and fired upon the ones running away although you can't kill every one of them and so a few might of got away.

On the streets, special units carrying KSR-1 flamethrowers and RPO Shemels under the protection of both IFVs and other fellow comrades went around using the KSR-1s were filling the buildings that they expect of hiding troops or were acting as makeshift supply depots with napalm burning anything inside vehicles that were left abandon (If any) had to be carefully examined to see if they rigged to explode if they were rigged they were shot with the RPO Shemels or with IPG-1 and 2 launchers to destroy them if they weren't rigged they were taken, repaired if needed and were given to both Republican Forces and Oceanian Forces to make use of any captured equipment any captured small-arms, ammo and infantry equipment such as chest rigs, helmets, etc were given to the Republic troops albeit Oceanians did also make use of captured ammo and took helmets and such as souvenirs.

The battle in Colstrea has become a nightmare for the Technate forces, with their retreating forces being treated as targets like it was practice shooting. They cannot do anything to protect them. The soldiers hoped that the suffering will end soon.

OOC: They have not yet heard of the peace deal being made between Colstrea and the Techante.

Somewhere on the blockade

"HIT!"

The fire control officer at JRS Dabun Javosch yelled in excitement, following what seemed to be rows upon rows of tags hitting GRN Bradia on the transmitted AWACS report. The report was also relayed to the carrier's CIC command and into the destroyer's CMS, where the sailors and officers received the cheerful message. The Carrier's bridge was filled with shouting and celebrations, as were the officers from the Hanschinburg-Class Destroyers. It's not every day that they come across a carrier, let alone sink it. Not to mention that it was the pride of the Gyzantian Navy. Indeed the sinking is a significant morale raiser to the Revolutionary Navy, seeing as how things are still locked on Aursi. Going forwards, 2 Helgo-Class Corvettes attempted to close into the carrier in order to rescue any crew or sailors. The Revolutionary Expedition Fleet has also reported the location to the humanitarian organizations, in order to attract any rescue or hospital ships nearby. Following the protocols, the 2 Corvettes raised the red cross flag, turned off its armaments sector on the CMS, covered the barrels and missile batteries, and stated its identity on the IFF tag as a hospital ship. They also added a huge red cross tarpaulin over the sides of the ship to further enforce that it is a hospital ship.

Coast of Port Nithu

With the beaches secure, more forces pushed into the beach, while APCs rushed to the front to form the spearhead. JP-2 Tanks were also formed, while the flanks continues to be reinforced by the incoming Revolutionaries. Hisshins, thanks to its DIRCM and AWACS early report, launched chaff and flares, and dodge the detected missile flight plan, altering its course towards a safe space. Though it was too late for them to retaliate, as SAC-12s leave the battlespace. While the sniper became a challenge to the signal companies, they were attacked by the incoming Hisshin Aircrafts equipped with AGM-114, launching them towards the sniper, as it was guided thanks to the signal company marking their locations with lasers. Satellite-discovered artillery units were also pounded by the incoming Hisshin jets, who used AGM-154 to launch missiles outside of the anti-air range.

The Gyzantian forces would be forced to retreat more, deciding to even hide in the city sewers. They used this to their advantage and rushed into the manholes in the roads near the beach, where the Janpians and their allies are possibly preparing their logistics. They were hoping to do one large attack to disrupt the Janpian invaders.

Avis Island
Off the Coast of Colstrea

Six SAC-12s shot overhead as the CNS Gideon moved at full sail into position 14km from Avis island, where Technate forces had using its favourable position and airfield to bombard Colstrean cities with artillery shells and airstrikes. In tandem with a invasion force led from the mainland by the Colstrean, the Countesians had lent one of their destroyers and six hundred of its own naval infantry to join the attack. An amphibious invasion of the island had been planned, but it relied on the artillery being silenced for the landing ships to make landfall without being on the receiving end of almost three doze 155mm howitzers and some longer range self propelled artillery pieces.

In the distance, the SAC-12's launched their payloads of anti-radiation missiles at the islands SAM radars, filling the horizon with almost a dozen flashes that took out a significant portion of the islands SAM capability in one strike. The jets pulled up moments later and banked hard to the left to avoid the remainders of the the technates anti-air weaponry and ascended back into the clouds where they could no longer be seen by the naked eye. They weren't alone in the skies, for several unarmed Countesian UAV's had taken advantage of the focus being put onto the Colstrean SAC-12's and had slipped into visual range, their onboard identification software relaying the coordinates of SAM sites, howitzer emplacements and troop concentrations to the CNS Gideons fire control system. Their presence would not go unnoticed for long, as soon one of the drones feeds abruptly cut out. The UAV operators still in the sky adjusted the direction of their cameras to see a the telltale sign of a MANPAD launch from the surface. The order had been given to turn back, but it was too late, the feeds of each drone cut out.

But it was too little too late for the technate, for their coordinates had already been relayed to the Countesian and Colstrean forces. The Gideon began firing its 127mm gun relentlessly at the groupings of howitzers, and launched six of its SH2-Strident missiles in succession, Each one arching in the sky towards the island at blistering speeds. Seconds later, another series of flashes rocked the island, this time where a large concentration of the technates howitzers had been stationed. Between the Colstrean airstrike and the Countesian naval bombardment, the CNS Gideon relayed the greenlight for the Colstrean-led land invasion to engage with assistance from Countesian soldiers and the IFV's and APC's it had brought along

The coalition formed in the invasion of Avis Island landed, and were met with gunfire from the Technate defenders. Even if they are outnumbered by the landing force, being only 3,000 strong, they have managed to mount machine gun positions, covered in leaves, as they pull the trigger into the Colstreans and Countesians when the rain fell. It is gonna be a hard fight for both sides.

Sikklosa

Prince Jusus wrote to his wife and told her of the great victory that was gained by the Royal Marine Division at Sikklosa in Gyzantia. "I dare say," he wrote, "In that annals of war, there has rarely been such a victory, with such odds and the oppression of time against us, how my brave boys nevertheless achieved it, under the guidance of their gallant officers. Rarely has such an opportunity come to a man devoted to the service of his Kingdom. I am grateful to the Ancestors that it was I, your husband, who made this great..."

While he wanted to have a grand parade through the city, he felt it was wiser to arrange to meet with the city leaders and explain what would be required of them. The port facilities, airport, and other transport hubs must be made available to the Royal Marines and Royal Navy of Sombreland until the Gyzantian forces arrived. He would make sure that his men were billeted or bivouaced in such a manner as to not interfere unduly with the daily lives of the citizens.

"Best of all," he informed the city leaders over a video call, "We will make sure that food and medicine are sent to your city and the surrounding towns. Never let it be said that the Kingdom of Sombreland is not generous!"

Royal Marines of the Second Brigade began to move to the city, just as the General had required of them, to guard the airport, railroad hubs, and the sea port. They were excited and happy; they were a bit vague on what had actually been done by them, but it was treated as a great victory. Men hugged one another, slapped one another's backs, and cheered loudly until they were ordered to shut up and act professional.

As the Anagonian Marines completing the process of surrendering, a utility vehicle drove up and a red haired man in a battle uniform stepped out of it. The Royal Marines not immediately on guard duty immediately stopped what they were doing and presented arms or saluted, their expressions going blank.

"Men...I am Lieutenant-Colonel Arrukus Padakis, the commander of the First Battalion of the 7th Regiment, Royal Marines," he said, looking around. "I salute you! By surrendering, you have made it possible to establish the cease fire! If this cease fire helps establish a peace, it will mean the saving of many lives! I give you my word of honour: you shall be treated well and politely as long as you continue to behave as you have! Let all do their duty, and all will be well! You may carry on. Sergeant..." he gestured and one of the Royal Marine NCOs came forward. The vehicle drove away.

Following this, a Master Sergeant of the Royal Marines arrived. He had a fatherly air about him, like a man who had many burdens but was calm and efficient in dealing with them. He made sure that all the rifles' numbers were all taken down and he explained to the Anagonian sergeant, "I'm having all these packed up and sealed for now. I do not know when they will be returned, but the labels being put on mean that they won't vanish into our own inventory. Meanwhile, there is grub for you. I hope you do not mind slipper-slopper and red."

Slipper-slopper and red turned out to be the results of a field kitchen that was moved up. It was minced meat cooked with onions, carrots, and potatoes and slopped onto a thick piece of bread and served on a plastic plate. Red was a fruity tasting sweet juice that was not too sweet but just enough to be pleasant that had a mild fizz to it. Clearly these were things that gave the impression of "comforts of home" but really weren't.
The cook, a vast man with a belly like a billowing sail, served this out with mathematical precision and an air of indifference as to whether he was serving Sombrelanders or Anagonians.

A medic, another sergeant, this one wiry, short, and quick in movement, asked the sergeant if there were any injuries that needed to be reported, and if all his men were in fighting fit. If they were, he asked the sergeant to sign a form. If anyone needed anything, it had to be reported; for now all he could do was hand out bandages and aspirin.

Your Majesty,

To my great relief, the socialist rebels in Sikklosa have begun to withdraw, and our own forces are advancing into the city. The cease fire has been successful. Rest assured that the Sombreland Marines and Navy will treat those citizens with the same courtesy and generosity with which we treated the people of Hatrap.

I agree that we must work on Port Nithu. My government will be in communication with the Anagonian peacekeepers in order to establish a cease fire there as well. Unfortunately, this will be one movement at a time, but at least it will spare many of your people suffering and, hopefully, help you save the Technate.

The next shipment of food to Hatrap I hope can be distributed to other parts of the country. We will make sure that our pilots do this in shifts to avoid accidents and delays, and that the food is regularly brought in. I realize to my sorrow that this will not defeat the famine entirely, but it will keep people alive, we hope and pray,, so that when peace and commerce are restored, more people will have survived.

Rest assured of my continued support.

Dear Commodore,

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring that the cease fire is upheld. Thus far, both your forces and the socialists have been cooperative. As a result, there has been no damage to people or property.

The next problem immediately facing us is Port Nithu. Our intelligence has observed more forces heading into the city. We need to make sure, if the cease fire is to be effective, that reinforcing the city is halted, and that there are no military movements beyond it. My advisors recommend that the area be held and no aggressive flights take place beyond the immediate need to defend the area, but I am sure you will have more ideas than I on that subject.

Please advise your President that I would appreciate speaking with him directly about plans for a peace. I think that this could be achieved, and we would be hailed as those who made it possible and saved many lives.

Simon Kerkland has been dismissed. King Issa seems far more willing to consider a reasonable peace. Of course, this would have to consider dividing the country up, but I think that this could be done and that as a result peaceful commerce could return to the region for the good of the people who live humble ordinary lives there.

If there is anything that concerns you or you require from me, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Princess-Regent Alavaine de Cressa

The Marajarbian Government would, while interested in peace talks, commend ongoing efforts at a ceasefire, while also stating that Marajarbia would like to contribute to the rebuilding of Port Nithu, as well as many of the recently destroyed bridges, to help facilitate a peaceful and prosperous life for the people of Gyzantia.

by **Gonswanza** » Sun Oct 09, 2022 5:56 pm

Over in Colstrea, the Gonswanzans were too busy trying to shove infantry aboard landing craft to notice the war crimes that Oceanian troops were committing, though a message was sent out by a local commander to swat them on the hand for their actions, noting news of the Port Nithu incident with them "blasting" the port with "intentional artillery fire"...

"Please for the love of all that is holy, CAPTURE THE IDIOTS AND STOP FUCKING AROUND. Give us more men to bargain with, since corpses are fucking useless. Morons. If I hear that you lop-sided worms are cutting them down I WILL HAVE THE FURY OF A GODDAMNED KIROV CLASS BEAR DOWN UPON YOUR POSITION! And NOTHING will remain. They won't even be able to BURY you. You'd be reduced to a goddamned CRATER. Forgotten by history AND your country! Now, BEHAVE. Idiots."

With that strongly worded message out of the way, the attack against Avis Island (thanks for the info, Countesia) continues as helicopters (which were ferried over and forced to launch from transports) close in on the beaches, offering close air support to the Countesian strike, as aircraft continue to harass ground units. Without a functional airfield, this meant that any Technate support via fighters would have to come from Retrosia... That is, if they were willing to come face to face with the anti-aircraft missiles of a few Kirov class battlecruisers.

October 9th, 106 AUR
Operation Red Phantom; Surrender
2254 Hours Anagonian Standard Time
Sergeant Damian Walker; Dragon Fire Company Commander

The Royal Marines had been overall polite and courteous. It still irked the Sergeant they were being treated like Prisoners of War, however. The grub was somewhat delicious - endearingly called "slipper-slopper" by their captors. It actually wasn't half bad, better than some Marine chow back home. It was one of the reasons the Confederate Marines hadn't revolted, that and their sense of duty and honor. Sergeant Walker was placing a lot of trust in Master Sergeant Maximian. He had every right to ping the flash beacons - the Anagonian equivalent of a battlefield network directly linked into their unique Fleet Communications Network - and request lead rain on their position. For some reason, though, he hadn't. They had come close though.

A few altercations transpired when the Royal Marines had attempted, at first, to tag and bag their equipment. Sergeant Walker had carefully maneuvered the sensitive ordeal. A Marines gear and weapon were their livelihood, you didn't just fuck with it willi-nilli. Damian had eased the tension by reminding his Marines of their orders and the fact they were guests to Marines from a different country. Despite their differences, despite their sense of duty (the Sombreland Royal Marines were extremely duty bound bordering on senseless devotion), they still had the same grade of jokes and outlook as the Confederate Marines. That made associating with one another that much easier.

The night was hard outside but clear and generally not extreme. Inside their makeshift tent that had been provided for them, the air conditioning served the Marines well. It was honestly borderline spoiling the Marines. Sergeant Walker had utilized their conditions to emphasize how well they were being treated, minus their equipment. The Sombreland Royal Marines had even allowed the Confederate Marines to keep their "devices"; wrist-bound PDA's and cellular devices. Didn't need to bag or tag something that didn't shoot.

Code: Select all: FLASH FLASH FLASH ZULU TANGO ZULU; NEED ECHO VICTOR ALPHA CHARLIE? CAN BRING HELL END FLASH

Damians PDA buzzed on his wrist. It was standard equipment for every member of the Confederate Military. Many forms and variants of this specific PDA type were used across the branches, positioned specifically to maximize usability and keep out of the wearers way. Many of the branches had a version of the PDA that was minimized and useful for only a few functions. Typically, the normal Confederate Marine had this mini-PDA. Squad Leaders, Company Commanders, and overall Commanders had the cellphone-sized version. It looked like a traditional blackberry with slide-out mini-keyboard. Both variants of the PDA interfaced with combat devices seamlessly and utilized their antenna's for range extension. When such combat utilities were not available, such as when Confederate Marines had been captured, it utilized whatever Fleet Comm. network was available.

Thanks to the orbiting RQ-11 nearby, the Fleet Comm. signal was strong. This signal was always present, everywhere an Anagonian asset was in the world. Its typical signal strength was in the red; primitive communications only, such as flash messages with brief International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet messages typically. Oscar Kilo for condition green, Yankee Whisky for condition yellow, and Romeo Delta for condition red - that sort of thing. Sergeant Walkers PDA, being a company commander, could utilize the Fleet Comm. Network for phone calls and the like - but not the miniature versions, which could only utilize flash messages. These devices were additionally tied with the internal chips of every Anagonia citizen assigned to them, so for anyone else to use them it would typically show a basic, default screen that was useless for information gathering. They were the perfect, most well designed communications device a soldier could have.

To prevent detection of call signal or greater, the Sergeant had been only utilizing flash messages; short signal bursts that was typically undetectable. It was standard practice, especially during captive situations. Most of the time captors would only take the cell phones and not the PDA's, since they were usually interlaced effectively in the clothing of the soldier. That and it effectively looked like some music player to the newer-aged crowd, so usually everyone other than an Anagonian overlooked it. Damian thought on the request from the flash message from the AV-30 pilot parked some miles away. It was tempting, but...

Code: Select all: FLASH FLASH FLASH SITREP OSCAR KILO; NO ROMEO ALPHA INDIA NOVEMBER; COPY? END FLASH

Damian waited a moment after sending, the screen adjusting to the variable brightness of the darkened room so as to not give itself totally away. A moment later and it vibrated again, briefly signaling a reply. He examined the screen.

Code: Select all: FLASH FLASH FLASH U R NO FUN; OSCAR KILO END FLASH

The Sergeant caught himself when he was about to laugh, instead opting for a hand over his mouth and red face briefly as the urge subsided. He took in a breath, exhaling softly. Rolling over in his cot the PDA went automatically into quiet mode as he lowered his hand. It was good to know just a few dozen miles away, some airmen was really wanting to unleash hell. It made the captive situation a bit easier to contain.

Operation Red Phantom; Surrender
2320 Hours Anagonian Standard Time
RQ-11 Raven RQ#554A; Just outside the perimeter of Sikklosa

The small RQ-11 had gone back for refueling twice over the almost two-days it had patrolled the area. The pilot of the AV-30 nearby had departed once during that time, returning with only a V-30 as they waited to confirm the status of their Marines. It was a tense situation for the first day but after an exchange of flash messages it became clear the Marines were having more fun there than they were back at the FHB. The RQ-11 had stayed in its typical orbit, keeping the signal strength for Fleet Comms sharp with its on board extender. It gained its signal from its mothership, in this case the AV-30. Eyes were sharp on the Confederate Marines, constantly watching.

Naval Peacekeeping Force Mythica
Off the coast of Gyzantia, Sailing in open waters

Commodore Leanna Crawford had bags under her eyes. She had been dealing so much with the relaying of messages and information that she had practically aged overnight. The Mythica had concluded her ordeal with the Janpians, the battleship Imperium quietly returning Captain Savansky during the deepest part of the night on the 8th to the Janpian fleet. With that affair behind her, things only became much worse. Despite the cease fire with the Kingdom of Sombreland, Master Sergeant Maximian was constantly berating and harassing her over her orders to have his Marines surrender - and he was very specific on implying the ownership each time. His responsibility, his Marines, his battle brothers, et cetera and et cetera. It had been non stop until she finally put her foot down and informed the Master Sergeant in no uncertain terms that she knew folks who ate alligators for a living, and if he didn't stop he would become personally acquainted with them.

Come to think about it, it had been a rather tasteless comeback and joke. Borderline offensive especially since the events of the Scandinvan Christian Rebellion were still fresh on the nations mind. Over eight-thousand non-humans slaughtered in an organized genocide in the darkest parts of underground society. Making a joke about turning the Master Sergeant, who was a non-human, into alligator soup upon reflection seemed extremely inappropriate. They had exchanged their apologies and had a heart-to-heart. It ended with the Komodren threatening to eat the Commodore alive if she didn't get his Marines back.

Fair was fair, Leanna supposed.

Recently she had tasked portions of the fleet to handle the sinking of the Gyzantian Aircraft Carrier further north sunk by the Janpian Navy. A Hospital Ship had been dispatched and had already reformed with the fleet just an hour ago. It had been quite the thrilling situation for the Hsopital Ship, so the debrief had explained. Regardless, the Anagonians were still providing ample humanitarian and medical services across the country. Their fleet providing around-the-clock enforcement of the no-fly zone for military aircraft also, giving escort to humanitarian and commerical and civilian aircraft where appropriate since they were permitted. Still, the issue with the Sombreland Royal Marines and the Confederate Marines was strongly on her mind. Reviewing the message sent from the Princess-Regent again, she decided it was time to reply.

ENCRYPTION: ENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION; DIRECT CONTACT ONLY
SUBJECT: Cease-Fire; Return of Confederate Marines

This is Commodore Crawford of the Confederate States Navy,

I am happy our agreement is ensuring the stability of the country. Unfortunately, we have no authority or control over the ground specifics in or around Port Nithu. It would be irresponsible of me to inform you otherwise. Therefore, we will maintain our no-fly zones as appropriate. We will not enforce a military exclusion zone on Gyzantian or KTO forces at this time in that area, as it is beyond our capacity to enforce that. The best we can do is maintain a no-fly zone.

Concerning the developments you've relayed about the Technate, I am pleased to hear of a new leader who is more receptive to diplomacy. My understanding of the events has led me to doubt the sincerity of the Technate due to the survivors we've assisted and civilians we've encountered. It is my understanding that the President is wanting to unite Gyzantia under a Constitutional Monarchy with a parliamentary system. He has stated his interest in preserving the three distinct factions as states or provinces and having the Monarchy as simply a head of state and sovereign and having a Prime Minister or similar as head of government.

The President has already shown an interest in meeting with the faction leaders here. If you're interested in meeting him, I can relay your desire and we can meet on board the Mythica or the Supercarrier Exeter for diplomatic negotiations.

Finally, I request you return our Confederate Marines as soon as possible. We have transports waiting for them outside the perimeter of the city. Please return any belongings or equipment and send them on their way. This action will help keep the cease-fire solidified between our two nations and ensure an easier diplomatic process.

Somewhere Colestra

Captain Boyd having left the comforts of his dugout was out on the frontline supervising the shit show called the battle of Colestra a radio operator came up to him telling him it was a message from their Gonswanzan grabbing it he put it to his ear hear the other person angrily yelling about taking prisoners and stop being idiots which if you take account for the amount drugs they have done its kinda hard for them.

"Goddamn they sound like my mom," Boyd said facepalming before looking back "Alright everyone! enough with the burning of our Gonswanzan friends don't like it which is very ironic of them considering the shit they have done to the point where they just sent out a message saying stop with the war crimes"

"That's really ironic of them," some random soldier said

"Yeah I know everyone stop burning shit Leo I'm looking at you let the fucker go" Boyd pointing at an Oceanian soldier stopping him who was about to burn a Technatre soldier letting him run away while the flame trooper just walked away pissed "new orders we gonna put pressure on the Technate and corner them so we can capture them"

Jesus christ holy shit sir, ma'am or whatever you identify as I can hear you scream that message from over here among the gunfire and explosions I have you know that we aren't fucking around and finding out we are finding out while we fuck around we would capture them if they just put their shit down and raise their hands or a white flag of instead of running away like a Frenchie but hey if it makes you feel any better we will stop our barbecue in Colestra and capture them however don't expect Grade A treatment they’ll be getting bare minimum of treatment
With love from
Captain Boyd

After sending the Gonswanzans the assuring message another message was sent out to every Oceanian unit

Due to a certain ally being piss at us for doing our job that being killing hostile combatants new orders are to put pressure onto the enemy and back them into a corner so we can capture them do not shoot any fleeing Technate if caught the punishment for the offender is 6 weeks to 2 months in a frontline sapper penal battalion

With the message being received the attacks on the Technate was relaxed instead deciding to try to wound them and capture or capture them in anyway those who flee were no longer shot at as sooner or later they will meet the Oceanian troops again in an attempt to capture them.

The planning?
Completed.
The men?
Ready.

All that was left now was to begin the invasion but as the news of Gonswanza bombing strikes and the new ceasefire agreement reached high command a stroke of bad luck set in, the sky opened up with rain and thunder, and thus the invasion was delayed.

The invasion itself would be difficult, taking place at night to shield their advance and ending on the beaches it was hoped that with all the extra support from allies the challenge could be overcome.

OOC:
Welephilostopian forces (~30,000 men) are getting ready to invade the island but will be set back by 1-2 posts, they also hope that allied ships and air support will help them if they engage an opponent but otherwise stealth is of the upmost importance.

3 1/4 days after passing the Janpian blockade.
Approx. 1 km from the Port of Kuritha.
"This is it."

From the shore and ports of the city. They could see it, a silhouette of not one; but three ships. All of them flying the Red and white standard of the New Antarctican Navy. They plow forward towards the shoreline, the silhouettes getting larger and larger, detail being revealed after detail. Until they come to a full halt.

Meanwhile...
"All hands to disembarkation stations. I repeat: all hands to disembarkation stations..
The well deck of the Kyiv-II is suddenly flustered with activity, as the four Dyugon-class landing craft is being loaded with Equipment, vehicles, and most importantly -- marines.
To some, it's their first deployment.
To first lieutenant Fryderyk Glaza; a military family man who's father was a conscript in the Polish People's army when the wall fell and the solidarity party took over the country by storm. This was yet another deployment for the Refugee extract program. More Humeaid, more processing refugees that can't even speak a lick of English, more shooting at insurgents that won't be there in the next second.
The marines in his platoon could smell the musk from his brand of choice's cheap cigarettes and deodorant from a mile away in this barely-ventilated ship. Nevermind while loading on the even less well ventilated BMP and the crowded conditions of the landing craft.
"Alright. C'mon, people, In the BMP and the boats. Get the fuck in if you wanna kill!
ARE YOU MEAN!!?"
"YEAH!!"
"WAHT ARE YOU!?"
"MEAN, LEAN MARINES!!"
"WHAT IS YOUR JOB!!?"
"KILL!! KILL!! KILL!!"
"WHAT WILL YOU DO!!?"
"KILL!! KILL!! KILL!!"
"Fucking hell, 2nd platoon's getting hyped up like we're about to fucking massacre this city.." remarked a grunt from 3rd platoon.
"Their platoon lead does this all the time. He's got the shit luck to be the one that pulls civilian extract ops and counter-insurgency campaigns every time he get called up. And now he's practically stuck killing terrorists and militia for a living."
"Jesus Christ..."
"I know, hell of way to get cut out of the proper action..."
The conversation between the two grunts is rudely interrupted, as the stern gate opens with near ear-blistering mechanical sounds, as the opening of the gate brings a growing expanse of sea and sunlight, flooding the well deck both figuratively and literally.
Before the marines knew it, the engines of Dyugons -- practically barges at this point -- roar to life.
And soon, they were off. With nothing but 900 meters of costal waters between the assault boats, and the first, second, and third companies of the 103rd Marine Battalion from being the first Antarctican Marines on the ground.
But while the regular grunts and engineers were making their way by sea, the Recon company of the 103rd was looking for a much more complicated method of travel.

....

Approximately 1.5 hours after disembarkation.
1 mile from the City of Acur.

Like the ships, they were mere dots on the horizon, indistinguishable silhouettes. Until they got closer, and bigger. Until they were very much observable from those in the outskirts of the city with a set of binoculars. An echelon formation of 10 Ka-29TBs, unarmed. With Hinds that were only armed with it's internal guns, and two rocket pods. Painted in standard Antarctican Navy dark-blues.
Crammed in both helicopters were a mix of the 103rd's recon company, and elements of the engineer/support company that drew the short straw, as well as any construction supplies they could've fit without egregiously over-violating the helicopter's safe weight limit.
Sitting in the leading Ka-29 was Captain Iakov Popov. A average-height man of Russian descent, smoking a cigar whilst overseeing operations -- somewhat crouching in the middle of the cramped cockpit.
"Take us in at the pre-planned LZ, that clearing NAV-intel marked as a priority landing site."
"Got it."
Training kicked in as the pilot began to navigate his way to the LZ, a relatively flat field in the outskirts of the city. And began to set it down as gently as he could, the rest of the formation following. There obviously wasn't enough space for them all, so the Ka-29s had to land in pairs, and the the Hinds also had to land in pairs. With dismounting marines and engineers rushing out of the helicopters, dragging bags of supplies, crates. Some wielding arms, some not.
As the recce company began to establish a clear perimeter, and the company HQ's RTO radioed in about their status. A message was sent to the Angonian Forward Humanitarian Base.

Galador, Sombreland

The festival of butterflies had begun. Many courtiers had gathered, and the Princess-Regent, to view the butterflies, as at this particular time of year many butterflies had gathered and even though they fed in different parts of the lightly wooded area and gardens to feed on flowers of shrubs, grasses, small trees and other vegetation. Some flew very high, up to the very canopy of trees, while others fled at the shoulder height at the average person. Others flew low to the ground at the flower beds. Their wings of shades of brown, green, blue, purple, yellow, orange, gold and white flapped with graceful idleness or swift eagerness.

One of the butterflies, which was different shades of blue, landed on the Princess-Regent's dress. Many people gasped and raised their hands in awe. This was an excellent sign of good omens for the court.

"I am very glad," said one of the under chamberlains, wiping a tear from his eyes, "That I decided to miss my father's funeral, so that I was here to see this. This softens and soothes my heart..."

"As am I," murmured the Royal Court Composer, "For my wife is even now giving birth to my first born...we have hoped and prayed for a boy...but instead I have witnessed the first butterfly of the festival landing on the very gown of the Princess...Regent..." he wept into his hand.

People reluctantly turned away from the beautiful sight as the butterfly put its wings together, and then rose with flaps of its dazzling wings to take to the air again. The colorful creatures dipped and swung in the air like bright colored leaves. As this all went on, the Director of Foreign Affairs approached the Chamberlain, who then whispered to the Chancellor, who whispered to the Princess-Regent, "Majestic Highness, may the Director of Foreign Affairs approach?"

"Has he seen a good butterfly?" asked the Princess-Regent.

"No, Majestic Highness," said the old man, "He wants to talk about Gyzantia."

"Oh..." the Princess-Regent's beautiful forehead wrinkled slightly, and she nodded, worry entering her lovely expression.

"Majestic Highness," said the Director. "There is a difficulty with the peacekeepers, in that they will not enforce the cease fire with regard to the Janpian Union of Revolutionary States' occupation of Port Nithu."

The Princess-Regent murmured, "Oh dear. But there have been many casualties there, and it is disputed territory between the Technate and the socialist rebels."

"Indeed, Majestic Highness. It could endanger the cease fire...I would like to recommend that Your Majestic Highness write to them and ask them." the Director recommended. "Your Majestic Highness could not help but persuade the Janpians to honour a cease fire."

Dear People's Marshal,

I hope that this message finds you well. As I am sure you are aware, the Confederate States of Anagonia has requested a cease fire in territories held by the socialists of Gyzantia. Currently, the forces under your authority hold positions in Port Nithu, a territory claimed by both your socialist Gyzantian allies and the Technate of Gyzantia.

Since a cease fire is being considered as a preamble to negotiations for peace, I am writing to ask that you support this cease fire, and have your forces make no aggressive moves outside a range of perhaps 10 kilometers of the city of Port Nithu. In turn, I would promise that the Sombreland expeditionary force and the Technate forces outside the city would honour the cease fire as well by making no hostile moves.

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Princess-Regent Alavaine de Cressa

Dear Commodore,

We are nearly ready to return your Marines to you. I have been told that they are very gallant, brave, and worthy persons. My Royal Marines have shared food and drink with them, and no doubt many of the jokes and exchanges that persons of military caste enjoy sharing. However, there is a problem that has cropped up.

As you have pointed out, the Janpian occupants of Port Nithu are not under your command. And you have left it up to them whether or not they will follow your instructions. I am also aware that your forces are, by your government policy, helping the socialists. What I would like to ask is that you agree to support my overtures towards them to persuade them to honour the cease fire. Their forces can remain in place, without withdrawing provided that they attempt no hostile action against Technate forces or those forces that have come to support the Technate. We, in turn, will honour the cease fire and not attack them.

If they, and the socialist forces in Port Nithu do attempt a breakout and try to attack the Technate forces and ours, I would like your word that you will see that as a particular breach of the cease fire and not a general breach, and will not interfere if we defend ourselves and defeat any attack against us.

Sincerely,
Princess-Regent Alavaine de Cressa

Sikklosa

To help with the morale of the Marines from Anagonia, the Royal Marines brought in modular tents for them that they had spare. These were so brand new that they smelled of fresh nylon. They came with nylon and aluminum framed cots and had nice blankets, foam pillows and sheets. Each also came with a lamp that could be turned down very low so that it gave minimal light, turned off, or made bright enough to get changed or do other activities in. A logistics unit was responsible for delivering these and providing instructions if needed in setting them up.

The Master Sergeant made sure that the boxes containing the Marines' weapons remained at the camp area; they were not to be taken away and lost somewhere; they were just not immediately available to the men. They were guarded, however, by armed Royal Marines.

They also set up a film to be watched in a nearby building. The film was called "The Adventures of Professor Kwat", and was about a bumbling academic trying to deal with preparing for the visit of a regional prefect. Unfortunately, Professor Kwat was well meaning but foolish and often got into many scrapes, including finding himself unexpectedly in women's clothing, being chased through a farmer's market while having many spills and accidents, and causing all kinds of slippery mess in a soap factory. The Royal Marines all found this terribly funny and witty.

Prince Jusus, the Royal Marines' division commander, showed up and reassured them that they were all going to be sent back soon. Some negotiations were being worked out, "At higher levels than my own," as he put it, But he anticipated that it could be no more than a matter of hours before the matter was resolved.

The Blackfly drones were replaced and the patrols continued near both Port Nithu and Anagonia. It had been reported to him, and to the Royal Navy, that the Anagonians were looming offshore and in other locations, prepared no doubt to strike at them. For all the friendliness, it was a sense situation. The Royal Navy and the Royal Marines were, in spite of it all, ready and waiting to strike at the enemy too. Combat Air Patrols flew round the clock; Air Defense Artillery, sentries and ambush positions were prepared. The place would turn into a major battleground if things went wrong.

The Marajarbian Humanitarian ship carrying 6,000 reinforcements for the peacekeepers, as well as humanitarian aid, was on route towards Anagonian territory in Gyzantia. The Marajarbian Government had planned to seize the opportunity of the ongoing ceasefire to land extra peacekeepers and help take care of more refugees in the process, all the while avoiding the Janpian blockade as best they could.

Back in Andreusville, the Marajarbian Government was celebrating the ceasefire, congratulating the efforts at making it work. This was primarily because of Marajarbia's humanitarian interests in Gyzantia, mainly in securing peace, as well as a few commercial interests, as Marajarbia wanted to invest in rebuilding Port Nithu as well as some major infrastructure projects, including bridges and high speed railway networks. Whether or not Marajarbia could completely fulfill either interest would ultimately be left up to peace talks. Regardless, with a ceasefire put in place, it was likely that such peace talks could happen very soon, and that was something which the Marajarbian Government was eager to send a representative to, with the proper increased security of course, as to avoid another assassination of a diplomat on foreign soil.

Members of the Niranian Tegushi gang attacked the humanitarian ship in an attempt to steal anything valuable and sell it on their market. The Tegushi gang is a massive gang in Niran with more than 500 active members. This time they had a hidden weapon. They had stolen an Aurelleon MK 1 Negotiator android and reprogrammed it to fight for the gang. 5 motorized boats headed towards the ship at high speeds, heavy machine guns mounted to the front of the boats.

Avis Island
Colstrean Republic/Gyzantian Technate Contested Area

As was expected, the technate garrison was dug in deep. Despite numerous airstrikes against their positions the Technate forces had weathered the worst of it to set up machine gun emplacements along the shoreline, which was now harassing the Colstrean and Countesian amphibious invasion. Countesian landing craft decided to disembark its first wave of six fighting vehicles in shallower water to put more distance between them and the machine gun emplacements, a depth the IFV's were more than rated to function in. As the vehicles made their way closer to the beach itself they began firing their 25mm cannons into where the Technate machine guns were spitting lead from. Four of the IFV's possessed a remote operated grenade launcher mounted to the top of the turret itself, which began launching explosives towards the nearby emplacements.

about halfway up the beach, each IFV deployed two smoke grenades from their side decoy launchers, quickly throwing up a thick wall of smoke across a large swath of the beach. This would give cover for troops to start exiting from the side exits of the vehicle and making a beeline for cover in the technate emplacements that had been cleared out from either the 25mm cannon or the roof mounted grenade launchers. This also signalled for the remainder of the invasion force to make landfall.

Your Majesty,

To my great relief, the socialist rebels in Sikklosa have begun to withdraw, and our own forces are advancing into the city. The cease fire has been successful. Rest assured that the Sombreland Marines and Navy will treat those citizens with the same courtesy and generosity with which we treated the people of Hatrap.

I agree that we must work on Port Nithu. My government will be in communication with the Anagonian peacekeepers in order to establish a cease fire there as well. Unfortunately, this will be one movement at a time, but at least it will spare many of your people suffering and, hopefully, help you save the Technate.

The next shipment of food to Hatrap I hope can be distributed to other parts of the country. We will make sure that our pilots do this in shifts to avoid accidents and delays, and that the food is regularly brought in. I realize to my sorrow that this will not defeat the famine entirely, but it will keep people alive, we hope and pray,, so that when peace and commerce are restored, more people will have survived.

Rest assured of my continued support.

Title: Closer to Peace

Your diplomatic actions with the Anagonians have truly helped in the capture of Sikklosa, and hopefully, my forces will treat the citizens with care, especially that they are under General Prodhan. During my time in the military, he would be strict to those who would break even a minor rule, so I hope the forces under his command would follow under the fear he emits.

As for the peace deals, I have sent Herzland on his way to Dessin, to negotiate peace deals. I have also sent information to Anagonia to allow the use of a plane to bring him to the city to talk for peace deals. We have also received an approval from Peter Hess to land in Colstrea.

We have made sure that there will be transparecy on the distribution of the food to all the cities. We have plans to extend this into the Socialists, and probably, the Colstreans. Even if this is little compared to the needed, it will be of great use for those who truly need this help.

We are one step closer to peace. Let us save more human lives when we still can at an early time.

Sincerely,
King Issia IV, King of Gyzantia

The invasion of the Colstrean forces in Avis Island, the island near Dessin and Retrosa, has been going underway, with the Gyzantian troops being overwhelmed, decided to retreat further into the island. With a mountain in the near-center of the island, they make a base in cave systems that they have known since their lessons on the geography of Avis Island. This shields them from any attack from the land, air and sea, but it has cons - one being not able to communicate from inside the caves, therefore making commanding officers in the ground using their initiative and their knowledge of the island to their advantage.

Over in the Fauxia International Airport, Simon Herzland boarded the plane headed to Dessin. With him being ousted from being the Head of Technate and the King temporarily taking control, together with the Technocratic Council, he wanted to find one job to help the Technate ease the pain they are carrying with the civil war. He managed to persuade the King, his friend, to allow him to be the Technate's representative in the peace deals in Dessin. They began to take off, with his eyes looking from above, into the city of Fauxia, and its beauty. He does not want to see this city be ruined like Port Nithu or Bradia. They were then accompanied by two SAC-15s, to guard them from any possible attacks. The plane then sends a repeating message to anyone near its radar:

"Diplomatic Mission of Gyzantia to Colstrea, Do Not Attack. "

Answering in the following order:
- Gyzantia
- Somberland
- SM

Near Port Nithu
As a stronghold is established on the northern coast, the JP-2s and APCs began their advance as they spearhead the offense toward the city itself. Seeing everything was clear due to the Gyzantian troop's retreat and disappearance among satellite reports, things might be easy for them as they pushed their way toward the rubbled city and put it under the flag of the Republic. The screams of the Hisshin jets has also reached the city itself, maintaining its air superiority over the area as they bomb any targets seen by the satellite reports. MALE drones were also sent to the city, marking any targets that are combatants and confirming humanitarian positions to avoid it. Though of course, the APCs and soldiers passed by some sewer sectors, as they didn't realize or know the Gyzantian presence inside it. Nevertheless, Janpian logistics does rely on armored trucks which are always packed in armored convoys, with motorized troops guarding it. If in any case, they are always ready to defend just incase of a backline attack

TO: Princess-Regent Alavaine de Cressa
FROM: Janpian Revolutionary Expedition Force - Gyzantia (JREF-G) Commodore. Skoronschu Worsa

Your majesty, while the message was reached to the People's Marshal, I believe the letter was directed to mine, as the commodore of Janpian operations at Gyzantia. As such, I am obliged to answer this letter. While indeed the Revolutionary advance has reached Port Nithu's and its pockets, our demands to honour this cease fire is rather simple: A complete Janpian revolutionary control of the city along with its surroundings, with every combatants surrendering under the the Republic of Colstrean flag to avoid further bloodshed. You have my assurance that the surrenderees would be disarmed and be put under the protection and care of the international law. However, I would like to clarify that the Revolutionary Council's interests does not involves or affects with the socialist Gyzantians, but rather to dismantle the Technate for the liberation of the Gyzantian people. I would also like to add that given the operation time table to pacify Port Nithu has long been set, it must not be disrupted until the operation's goals has been achieved.

Blockade

Given to what happened with JRS Agwan River, the naval directive was slightly changed to fix in their doctrine. While indeed the naval directive halts non-organizational humanitarians to join, the JREF-G would take it more slowly to investigate the ships, in order to avoid misidentification of military or humanitarian ships. As such, the new directive entrance requirements for humanitarian ships is as follows:

- Humanitarian ships must present with their name, hull number, organization, and declared aid

- Humanitarian Ships must be boarded and investigated by the Revolutionaries, as it is protected under international law

- Humanitarian Ships must be registered under humanitarian organization to avoid misidentification

- Humanitarian Ships must carry no weapons except for peace keepers, registered under a humanitarian organization

- If the humanitarian ship is not under any organization, it must register under the JREF-G CMS to allow the Revolutionary Navy to monitor the vessels

Of course, the attack over Marajarbian ships was another case of misidentification as according to the official report. But of course, only the Commodore and a selected few officials knew that the report was falsified. Given the AWACS range, at this point, anyone trying to enter Gyzantia even by any sea routes would be detected by the Revolutionary Navy. As usual, these AWACS were under the cover of the Hisshin Aircrafts, protecting it as it flies or gets refueled midair.

From: Oceanian Command in Republic Gyzantia

It has been brought to our attention that within the Technate and possibly in some areas of the Socialist territory that there are Niran gangs going about plundering towns and cities for loot so we will offer a ceasefire between all 3 factions and take a sit at the table to discuss terms about the future of the nation on the condition that Oceanian Forces will be one’s to deal with the gangs if you let us do this then I can assure that we will send out the order to silence our guns and stop the fighting between each other to start negotiating.

And yes before you say it we will also try to negotiate with our Janpian ally to pause or stop their attack on Port Nithu rest assure we got it under control
