A Aituian Crisis [IC, signed-up only]

[The Aituia]

OoC Signups
Context:
Chaos, madness and fire throughout Aituia would spread, as major political groups within Aituian politics would further boil the steaming pot, which is Aituia. Week by week, month by month, a new president gets elected. Each day, more and more protests would happen, as the Aituian Government would call in the National Military to 'shut' the protests.

Kaw, Apr. 5, 2023
━━
14,000 [estimated] protestors in front of the City Hall in Kaw during 8:00 AM would protest against corruption and how easy it is to immediately be president.
15 minutes later, 4 BTR-3's would show up, with the support of the Police forces and 220 men of the National Military.

Then... shots were fired. There were a exchange in gunfire, as police forces throw tear gas against the protestors, the protestors would throw home-made/bought Molotov cocktails and burning waste against the police and national military.

After the incident, media was immediately suppressed by the National Military 5 minutes later. It was clear, a coup was going to happen.

1 hour later, the King of Aituia would be found dead in his property/home in the suburbs of Kaw, as non-Police forces investigates, they would find out multiple signs that it was the National Military's doing.

During that day, small infightings would happen, between the Socialists, Ultranationalists, pro-Military and the Monarchists.

Under the cover of darkness SFG3 quietly landed helicopters on a clearing in the middle of the forest. The island beared a striking similarity to Guadalcanal back in the home universe, so SFG3 already knew about the island and certain strategic positions. Currently only helicopters could be landed and a temporary camp could be established, due to the lack of an airfield for fixed wing aircraft. Their mission was to be quick, kill or capture of some of the Brasilistani Socialist Front that escaped once Boldonia took control of Brasilistan. SFG3 began the search, the plan was to slowly spread out across the island. Once this one was clear move to the next, then the next, then so on and so forth. Stealth was of utmost importance, the government in Kaw was not alerted due to fears they would retaliate. For all intents and purposes SFG3 was alone without any support.

Task force Orpheus was assembling. Publicly, they were here to make sure nothing too chaotic occurred. Display was a prerequisite - since the Aituian government (well, one of them,anyway) had asked for help, they could fly over the islands, but the other factions were liable to take such as a sign of aggression. Instead, Orpheus conducted its exercises off Kaw, well outside of territorial waters, and within an hour's travel for landing troops. These mostly composed of simple drills that emphasized joint cooperation, as well as ironing out kinks in protocols.

Half of the Pelātnian force arrived on a landing helicopter dock. It would be the final relay point for their helicopters stationed on Ītnia. Currently, it carried 500 military personnel and five heavy transport aircraft. Another auxiliary craft carried over 500 Wheathi troops of an Amaranthine Sound Armor Division urban warfare company, with about 15 tanks and equal amount of APCs. Technically a small force, the Wheathi military's technological superiority lends it no small amount of reputation, following the Shadow Incursion.

With a little over 50% of task force Orpheus came their whole armed escort - no chances could be taken: WAS Militant, the Wheathi missile cruiser serving as the flagship for Admiral Harrier, and a missile corvette. As of now, we estimate that Pelātnian complement is estimated to be less than 15 destroyers.

After a little bit of searching SFG3 found a serviceable runway. It was a simple dirt runway they found with little in the way of infrastructure, basically abandoned, but since only propeller driven aircraft were to be sent it would do for now. With the C-2s off loading supplies and the AC-2s arriving SFG3 could get to business. The gunships and helicopters began to patrol the skies just above the canopy, using their infrared cameras to search the jungle for any signs of guerilla fighters.
If a site was ever confirmed to be one from the Socialist Rebels it was marked on the map and a squad of paratroopers would be sent to investigate. Once either the position was cleared or confirmed to not be an enemy a special balloon would be used to recover the squad. All across the island Socialist Rebel hideouts slowly started to go dark, at this point it could be clear someone was hunting them down. But who it was or where they were remained a mystery for now.

[Bricnia]

Kaw Island, City of Kaw, 6:00 AM

The 1st Company, a recon Unit of the Bricnian Armed Forces, was ready to land in Kaw, after being transported here, the Company, commanded by Captain Gabriel Dvoracek, divided it self into various sections: the 1st Platoon, commanded by Liuterant Bernard Marciniak, would be deployed into the Kaw Suburbs, the 2nd Platoon, commanded by Liuterant Nikolai Volachev, would be deployed into the City Center, the Command and the 3rd Platoon, commanded by Liuterant Damian Walas, would settle in the Town hall and in other governative buildings to secure and fortify them, while the 4th Platoon, commanded by Liuterant Emil Buza, would be used as a Search and Destroy Force.

The 4th Platoon starts to equip for the Mission, after 20 minutes of preparations they depart for the last seen location of the squad, 3 km near Kaw

[The Aituia]

The National Guard would finally coup the Aituian Government,
putting the end of the loop of impeachment and election,
which was the reason of multiple presidents getting elected each week.

[Long text incoming]

Because of this, multiple groups, specifically the SMJ, the National Guard, and multiple civilians, would clash near the Government Buildings and near the center of Kaw. The National Guard would then send the 31st ASALAC Infantry & Motorized Infantry Div., 1st Battalion. The 210 troops, along with 6 Humvees manufactured in Aituia.

The National Guard would begin to fight against the SMJ troops, who were armed with semi-automatic rifles, and hand granades. As both sides exchanged fires in and near the Government Building/s, civilians who were against corruption in the voting process would soon raid the building of the Aituian Treasury Department. The civilians were caught in the gunfight, leading to multiple friendly fires and civilian casualties because of it.

As the gunfight slowly ended, a ceasefire would be held for 48 hours.

4th Platoon had finally arrived at the squad's last surveyed position.they got off the vehicles and divided into 3 teams: 2 made up of 10 men and one of 5, including Lieutenant Buza. team 3 would remain to monitor the situation, while the other two would have to search for survivors. After several hours of searching the two teams found some signs, and they were far from positive : They had found the missing team jeep and 3 of its 5 members : the jeep was severely damaged and the three soldiers were dead. The search for the two survivors continued until 13:00 Pm, where they found the two bodies of the soldiers, as well as those of some ultra-nationalist guerrillas. After notifying the base camp of the discovery of the bodies, the platoon receives new orders: to investigate in a nearby area, as there have been reports of guerrilla activity. The platoon prepares and sets off again.

"Alright, I'm picking up heat sigs!" shouted a commander over the radio, The heat signatures flitting in and out of view, as they traveled through the trees.
"They couldn't be our men, right?" asked another commander over the radio
"Uh, what's happening?" a faint voice from an infantryman in the back can be heard from over the first T-15 Armata's fighting compartment
"You guys might need to dismount soon." Remarked the first commander.
"Fire?" Asked a third commander
"Fire." assured the second commander.
The five T-15s patrolling the area open fire on the platoon, spraying HE and Frag rounds in their approximate direction..

The platoon prepares and sets off again.

As a battalion commanded by another Bricnian Lieutenant, the ultranationalist-militias would begin to fire back against the Bricnian battalion. A clash would occur.

City of Kaw:
National Guard light-armored tanks with wooden armor would slowly enter a abandoned SMJ FOB, soon, SMJ troops would emerge from the FOB and shoot from their RPG-2's against the National Guard. Soon, the light-armored tanks would be in flames because of the attack.

National Guard divisions would also start to begin their missions to coup the Roverian rule/Government, but would fail miserably. Then, a National Guard division would encircle the Parliament of Aituia, with civilians against the National Guard encircling the National Guard's encirclement of the Parliament. As troops enter the building, Parliament members, Government workers and staff would exit the building, while the building was set on fire, by a National Guard infantryman.
This is the point where democracy in Aituia is fully gone.

This morning, Gyulai arrived twenty miles north of the City of Kaw with his ~5,000-strong Legion, which he immediately instructed to throw up earthworks and other defenses.

Franz Gyulai, observing the action from afar, now orders five members of his Aufopferungsvolles Spezialangriffskorps (Self-Sacrificing Special Attack Corps), whose program he oversees, to attack the ultranationalist mob and, in doing so, to cause as many casualties as possible.

"WAIT, ARE THOSE THINGS MADE OF PLYWOOD?" shouted a tank commander in his T-15 AIFV, flabbergasted at the discovery
"Sure are." said a tank commander, who then snorted, trying hard to hold back a laugh, but suddenly another commander, burst out laughing, and the entire radio was filled with laughs, that was, until an earsplitting "BOOM!" broke the laughter. The T-15 next to Anatoli's blew up, the turret flung meters in the air, and landing 5 meters away from the flaming hull, a catastrophic kill, nobody would have survived that. Anatoli's ears were still ringing, he could see the gunner mouthing "Fuck you" and squeeze down on the firing button. the other T-15s also were firing at the wooden tanks, although wooden, still they could pack a punch.

Franz Gyulai radioes a message to the SR Mercenaries' HQ offering to spare them a few bombers from his beloved Aufopferungsvolles Spezialangriffskorps (Self-Sacrificing Special Attack Corps).

Franz Gyulai radioes a message to the SR Mercenaries' HQ offering to spare them a few bombers from his beloved Aufopferungsvolles Spezialangriffskorps (Self-Sacrificing Special Attack Corps).

The RSRM kindly turns down the offer, as we mainly specialize in ground combat, and most of our pilots don't even have pilot's liscences yet, and only know that a plane flies, not how to fly one.

[Austria-Lombardy-Venetia]

Gyulai replies that his bombers are considered artillery, and elaborates that they are very versatile and can operate trucks, vans, and cars, and, if deprived of vehicles, will simply march on foot. They wear vests, says Gyulai, loaded with explosives.

[Wheath]

This morning, Gyulai arrived twenty miles north of Kaw with his ~5,000-strong Legion, which he immediately instructed to throw up earthworks and other defenses.

OOC: Not sure there's earth 20 miles north of Kaw... island nation.

In a remote address to TAIGA nations, the Wheathi representatives admitted that Task Force Orpheus had yet to communicate with any of the Aituian factions. The main focus was on Pelātnian cooperation, emphasizing the joint intent of restoring the TAIGA co-founder's democratic governance. They avoided endorsing the SMJ, or commenting on presidential matters.

A Boldonian MD-500 SLAR flies above the island on a routine night patrol looking for Socialist Rebels. All of a sudden a warning comes on, missile lock. A missile is seen flying from a mountian side heading strait toward the helicopter. It dodges and dumps flares, narrowly avoiding the missile. One of the pilot shouts out over the radio.

Pilot: "Contact, MANPADS!"

Another missile is launched and the helicopter, but this time it isn't as lucky. The missile hits the rear rotor causing the helicopter to start spinning out of control. It spins across the sky with the pilot fighting the stick to try and keep control however eventually the helicopter crashes down near a village, alerting the citizens to the helicopter. The pilot and one of the gunners is killed, and the co-pilot is stuck within the cockpit unable to move. He radios out:

Co-Pilot: "Helicopter down... two friendly KIA one WIA... they have MANPADS... Iglas from the Brasilistanis..."

The second gunner regains consciousness and looks around, he hears footsteps. He remembers what was briefed, Boldonian involvement is classified nobody can know. The footsteps inch closer and closer. Both that are still alive load their handguns.

Co-Pilot: "I can't move... if we have to run you run, I'll hold them off. Nothing you can do for me now, just run if you need..."

Multiple Ultranationalist troops would emerge, going guns a-blazing [?] on the helicopter, which would soon kill most of the passengers of the Boldonian helicopter, but the Co-Pilot would and a few men would survive.
