MV-26 and Peace Negotiations

Postby Synodos » Sat Aug 24, 2024 9:30 am

Troops dig in across Greece's northern border, being equipped with state-of-the-art TK weaponry. The electricity outage doesn't affect them, but the Millions in Greece without power hunker down in case peace negotiations fall through. The Oil Dome is fully operational once again, minus the two destroyed rigs. There have been no recorded casualties on either side of the conflict in the last 2 days, as peace negotiations are in full swing.

The Quendellian Muntpaper: Blackout mystery solved

Postby Quendell » Sat Aug 24, 2024 9:47 am

Breaking News!!!

World power outage coming to Quendell

The world has been paused as power outages are occurring across the region. millions of people that are dependant on the power has now faced a crisis. Luckily only a few parts Quendell has been effected by this. scientists are still stumped on what could have caused this terrible catastrophe. Adreo Vale the so called smartest man in Quendell has come come up with a theoretical possibility on how this could of happened and said: This is a mystery it really is but I believe it theoretically could have been caused by a super powerful EMP or in other words an electromagnetic pulse but this would be nearly impossible since creating a pulse so massive that it could cover half the region is unheard of! And I say half the region since this has mostly effected countries in north and south America and as well as Europe and very east Asia. if I had to locate the people who did this I would say they are in north or south America. I believe it was created by a nation for a single person could never attain the amount of resources required to create such a machine. The good news is the EMP is most likely to be temporary, so it should wear of sooner or later, and since we're across the world
it shouldn't effect us too badly.
with that being said I hope we will make it through this in one piece.

World War

As D.E.U.S joins this war we can further confirm this is the first World War as many nations around the world are getting involved in these different conflicts, and all I can say is good luck too humanity. and Quendell refuses to participate in this war and take sides.

Scorvie

Quendell does not want to build military like Scorvie suggested as Quendell is already occupied with many other issues at the moment, but Quendell is very thankful for the resources and the terrible famine seems to be drawing to a close.

Warfare
Investigations as to why the power went out are currently dead ends, as local police come up empty-handed, however enemy power armour is completely fried. However, scouting missions have revealed mass amounts of protection around these armours anyways, and so it is not practical to attempt a capture. Now, as well as this, Karunethiae airforce has successfully incapacitated enemy Ekranoplans without harming them too much, as one partially damaged Ekranoplan was actually brought up the Adriatic by Karunethiae fleets, and was docked in Venizie, and protected with military ships in order to secure it. Reverse engineering projects will now begin on these ekranoplans. As well as this, Karunethiae air force has gained control over the skies, incapacitating enemy air fields, preventing any planes landing there safely, and preventing more airplanes from being destroyed, as Karunethiae bombers with F-22 escorts bomb down enemy factories. Trump recently made a speech on the war;
“Now, I truly think without a doubt, that these terrorists caused this global blackout, and they must be destroyed at all costs. I have also received word that the DEUS has officially declared war on the USSR, and we absolutely welcome this new support with open arms. Now anyways, this speech was sponsored by BoredVPN. That’s right, we’re doing sponsorships to fund the war effort now. Now, without BoredVPN, your information would be unsafe and vulnerable to hackers, however with BoredVPN, hackers will be diverted and only the government and major corporations will be allowed to access your data. Now, back to the speech. I tell you, these commies need to be destroyed, and our brave scientists are hard at work deciphering enemy technology, and we will catch up, and when we do, those commies are toast, I tell you”

Hackers ineffective, Bombers with escorts shot down.

Postby Union of Silver States Union » Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:46 pm

The USSR confirms that all of its warfare machines are still in active order

See to hack the machines you need internet, and typically, our machines, be it spray tank or Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber or ekranoplan, are not connected to it, especially in Greece where all internet was cut during the war. As a result, new methods of communication arised and our equipment still works fine.

The Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber typically use hand gestures or communicate verbally. If the distance is too long, we use analog communication systems which are largely immune to cyber attacks due to their lack of need to connect to the internet, lack of software, isolation, and simplicity.

Therefore, Karenthue troops have not managed to capture the two remaining ekranoplans we have stationed there. We've placed it in hiding. The ships and planes that try to capture it are dealt with accordingly as previously, with the Augenfritteuse Ausf. A.

Bombers shot down

The F-22s and bombers that keep targetting SRC soil are also fired upon by the Augenfritteuse Ausf. A. Those that manage to eject safely are taken prisoner and kept by the SS, since they're more accepting of prisoners in general than the WUS.

However, many of them suffer from blindness, and more commonly, deafness, some permanent, some not. Their mental states are also affected as they recall of the "shrieks" they heard up in the sky.

We still suffer some damage, as airfields and factories are indeed damaged.

Declared war on by the D.E.U.S.

So be it.

You've brought this upon yourself.

Even in the darkest hearts...

Postby Union of Silver States Union » Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:02 pm

The remnants of the once-grand Greek city smoldered in the aftermath of the recent battle. Rubble and ash filled the air, creating an almost suffocating haze as the squad of Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber soldiers trudged through the debris. Their armor, dark and imposing, bore the marks of countless engagements—scorch marks, dents, and dried blood, evidence of their relentless pursuit of victory in a world plunged into chaos.

The mission was simple but grim: check for survivors. Officially, it was said that no one remained, that the city had been utterly decimated, but orders from above demanded thoroughness. Unofficially, these soldiers knew that their presence here, among the ruins, was to find and eliminate any who might pose a future threat. But as they moved through the burning wreckage, they kept their weapons lowered, their visors scanning every shadow and flicker of movement with precision.

Sergeant Eisen, the squad leader, raised a hand, signaling for his men to halt. Through the flames and smoke, they spotted movement—a group of figures darting between the crumbling walls of a destroyed building. He switched to infrared on his visor and saw what they had already suspected. Children. Orphans, more than likely. Refugees of the war that had engulfed their homeland.

"Looks like we found some survivors," one of the soldiers muttered, his voice distorted by his helmet.

"Stay sharp," Eisen replied, his tone cautious. "But don't scare them off. They’re just kids."

The squad moved forward, keeping their steps measured and unthreatening, but as they approached, the orphans bolted. They were terrified—anyone in their position would be. Clad in their terrifying armor and known for their ruthlessness, the Weltuntergangstruppen were the stuff of nightmares to the uninitiated.

The soldiers watched as the children disappeared into the shadows, but one, a young boy, stumbled on a piece of debris and fell hard, clutching his foot in pain. The other orphans hesitated, torn between running further and helping their fallen friend, but fear got the better of them, and they vanished into the ruins.

The boy, left alone, struggled to stand, his face a mix of pain and terror as the squad approached. He tried to crawl away, but his injured foot betrayed him. He screamed out in desperation, his voice piercing the silence that had settled over the ruined city.

"Hold on, kid," Eisen said, kneeling beside him. He reached out a hand, but the boy recoiled, crying out for help that wasn’t coming.

The sergeant removed his helmet, revealing a face hardened by battle but softened by something deeper—a shared history, perhaps, a memory of a time before he wore the armor. He set the helmet aside, signaling the others to do the same.

"We’re not here to hurt you," Eisen said, his voice calm and steady. "We were orphans once, too."

The boy stopped struggling, looking up at the soldiers with wide, tear-filled eyes. The others, emboldened by their leader’s actions, followed suit, removing their helmets and revealing faces that, though scarred, were human.

One of the soldiers, a medic, knelt beside the boy, carefully examining his foot. It was a nasty sprain, not life-threatening, but painful enough. The medic pulled out a small kit and began tending to the wound with surprising gentleness, wrapping it in a clean bandage.

The boy watched in disbelief as the soldier worked, his fear slowly giving way to confusion. "Why... why are you helping me?" he stammered.

"Because we know what it’s like to be where you are," Eisen replied. "Lost, scared, and alone. We were just like you once."

The other orphans, who had been watching from a safe distance, began to inch closer, their curiosity getting the better of them. The soldiers didn’t move to stop them, instead reaching into their packs and pulling out their rations. They held them out, an offering of peace.

Hesitant at first, the children eventually took the food, their hunger overpowering their fear. They sat together, soldiers and orphans, in the shadow of the broken city, sharing what little they had. The soldiers spoke quietly to the children, telling them stories of their own pasts, of how they had been found and given a new purpose, a new family.

"We can take you somewhere safe," Eisen said as the meal came to an end. "Back to our base. There’s food, shelter, and people who will take care of you."

The orphans exchanged glances, still unsure, but the kindness they had just experienced outweighed their doubts. One by one, they nodded, agreeing to follow the soldiers who had, against all odds, shown them compassion.

With the children in tow, the squad made their way back through the ruins, leaving behind the burning city and the ghosts of their past. As they walked, the boy who had been injured looked up at Sergeant Eisen.

"Thank you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Eisen looked down at him and smiled, a rare expression on his war-weary face. "No need to thank us, kid. Just keep moving forward. That’s all we can do."

And so, the Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber led the orphans back to their base, not as enemies, but as protectors—because they knew, better than anyone, what it meant to survive in a world that had forgotten them.

Overlords' Reinforcements

Postby Union of Silver States Union » Sun Aug 25, 2024 6:13 am

Overlords

(TL;DR)

Concerned with the silence of the battlefield and the potential of new threats, the USSR Army has mobolized a new division from within the depths of our hell called the Silver Penitentiary. Two hundred and fifty men of the 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade have been sent to reinforce our forces in Greece through a HALO jump.




Report on the Deployment of the 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade

Overview:
A part of the 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade, comprising 250 elite soldiers, was mobilized from the depths of the Silver Penitentiary to reinforce our forces in Greece. These troopers, standing at 7 feet tall, are equipped with advanced black armor featuring red visors and a distinctive red streak along their left side. Their armaments include 13.2 mm heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, ███ ████████, longswords, and fragmentation grenades. Additionally, each trooper is equipped with a jumppack containing a small grenade launcher, and a system that renders them invisible when stationary. Enhanced auditory capabilities enable these soldiers to detect heartbeats within a kilometer's radius.

Specialized Equipment:
Each trooper's jumppack is customized, carrying various advanced devices:
- Hearing/Sonic Disruption Device: Emits a high-pitched whine that induces convulsions, vomiting, and loss of motor control in those affected.
- Smoke Emitters: Provide concealment during HALO jumps and on the battlefield.
- Tactical Drone: Deployed for reconnaissance and target acquisition.
- █████████████ █████: Worn by a specialized class, capable of detecting enemy movements within a significant radius.

Classes within the 66th Brigade:
- Ultrassault: Combines the capabilities of Scout, Engineer, and Assault roles, also armed with a longsword for close combat.
- Medic: Equipped with advanced medical supplies and ████████ for rapid field treatment.
- Exterminator: Specializes in heavy weaponry and flamethrowers, also carries a longsword.
- Veilbearer: Carries the smoke-making devices and █████████████ █████, providing battlefield concealment and situational awareness.
- Screamers: Operate the sonic disruption devices, disrupting enemy coordination and communication.
- Infernohand: Specialized in deploying flamethrowers, █████ ███, and ███ ████████ for area denial and enemy incapacitation.

Deployment Procedure:

The 66th Brigade was launched via supersonic missiles equipped with capsules housing four soldiers each. Upon reaching the stratosphere, the capsules ejected, and the troopers began their high-speed descent. As enemy F-22 interceptors detected their approach, the lead Veilbearer activated the smoke emitters, creating a dense screen that concealed their descent. The F-22s, unable to target or engage the small and elusive figures within the smoke, attempted to machine-gun them. However, evasive maneuvers within the smoke rendered these attempts ineffective.

In a final desperate measure, the F-22s tried to ram the troopers. The Screamers activated their sonic disruption devices, causing the pilots to lose control of their aircraft, leading to collisions and crashes. The few remaining aircraft tumbled from the sky, rendered impotent by the disruptive technology.

Landing and Initial Contact:
The 66th Brigade successfully landed within the designated drop zone in USSR-controlled territory. Upon arrival, they were greeted by a member of the 110th Stahlherz Brigade, distinguishable by their gray armor, which contrasted starkly with the black armor of the 66th. The exchange was brief but marked by mutual respect.




"Wait, who are the 66th?"

Training History of the 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade

Background:
The 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade was forged within the confines of the Silver Penitentiary, a notorious facility known for housing the most dangerous and unredeemable criminals under the control of the Union of Silver States Republic (USSR). The penitentiary operates under a regime of controlled chaos, where the absence of conventional rules and the prevalence of anarchic violence serve as the crucible for creating the most hardened and ruthless soldiers.

Selection Process:
Candidates for the 66th Brigade are drawn from the most resilient and skilled inmates, selected based on their ability to survive and dominate within the brutal environment of the Silver Penitentiary. The selection process is continuous, with potential recruits subjected to relentless trials designed to break all but the most formidable. Only those who display exceptional physical prowess, mental fortitude, and a capacity for extreme violence are chosen.

Training Regimen:
The training program within the Silver Penitentiary is unlike any conventional military preparation. It is characterized by its relentless intensity, designed to push the recruits beyond the limits of human endurance. The program includes:

- Close-Quarters Combat (CQC): Recruits engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat exercises, often to the point of severe injury or death. This training instills an instinctive understanding of violence and survival in close quarters.

- Psychological Conditioning: Recruits are subjected to psychological warfare, including prolonged periods of sensory deprivation, exposure to extreme stressors, and forced confrontations with their deepest fears. The goal is to █████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ █████████ ███████ ██████ ████ ███ ███████.

- Weapon Proficiency: Recruits are trained extensively in the use of a wide range of weapons, including 13.2 mm heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and longswords. They are also trained in the deployment of ███ ████████, █████ ███, and other specialized weaponry.

- Survival Training: The recruits are frequently left in isolated and hostile environments within the penitentiary, where they must survive with minimal resources. This includes scenarios where they must hunt and kill for food, navigate through toxic wastelands, or fend off relentless assaults from other inmates.

- Advanced Tactical Training: Recruits undergo rigorous training in advanced tactics, including stealth operations, HALO jumps, and guerrilla warfare. They are taught to utilize the environment to their advantage, turning any terrain into a battlefield.

Specialized Conditioning:
Each class within the 66th Brigade undergoes specialized conditioning tailored to their role:

- Ultrassault: Recruits in this class are trained to be highly versatile, mastering a combination of scouting, engineering, and assault tactics. Their training includes ██████████ ██████ ████████████ █████████ █████████ █████████ ███ █████ ███████ ██████████.

- Medic: Medics receive advanced medical training, including field surgery, trauma care under fire, and the use of ██████████████ for █████ █████ ███████. They are also trained in combat, ensuring they can defend themselves and their comrades in any situation.

- Exterminator: This class focuses on heavy weaponry and area denial tactics. Their training includes the deployment of flamethrowers, █████ ███, and ███ ████████ to neutralize large groups of enemies or fortified positions.

- Veilbearer: Veilbearers undergo specialized training in concealment and reconnaissance. They are taught to deploy and utilize smoke screens, operate █████████████ █████ systems, and conduct deep infiltration missions.

- Screamers: The training for Screamers involves mastering the use of sonic disruption devices. This class is conditioned to operate in high-stress environments, where they can deploy their devices to incapacitate enemy forces through sensory overload.

- Infernohand: Infernohand recruits are conditioned to wield flamethrowers and deploy █████ ███ in close-quarters situations. Their training includes operating in confined spaces and maintaining control in the midst of chaos.

Final Assessment:
Before deployment, recruits undergo a final assessment that replicates the conditions of the most intense battlefield scenarios. This includes live-fire exercises, simulated HALO jumps, and extended periods of isolation. Only those who pass this final test with unwavering resolve are inducted into the 66th Weltuntergangstruppen Aus Silber "Overlords" Brigade.

Larissa Crushed by the Iron Fist of the USSR

Reports coming out of Larissa show that the undefended city was subjected to intense artillery bombardment and bombing for over 6 hours. After which, the soldiers moved in flushing out the survivors with gas and flamethrowers. The population of the city was 165,000 people. May they all rest in peace.

The defensive line grows stronger

Synodosian defense line has been further reinforced with anti-missile emplacements, Artillery batteries, machine guns, and minefields. More troops are armed nd equipped with every passing hour. 10,000 new recruits have been sent further north into the TK to receive formal training.

No Synodosian efforts have been made to bombard the advancing USSR troops

That's all for today.

Project Indiscriminant Details

Postby Union of Silver States Union » Sun Aug 25, 2024 7:28 am

The USSR releases some details about Project Indiscriminant.

Anti-Satellite System for Advanced Targets - 20, or the ASSAT-20 is a cutting-edge anti-satellite satellite equipped with a high-velocity 20mm autocannon, designed to neutralize enemy satellites in Low Earth and Medium Earth Orbits. Compact and agile, it features advanced optical and infrared targeting systems for precise engagements, with onboard AI enhancing accuracy. Powered by retractable solar panels and equipped with secure communication links, the ASSAT-20 operates autonomously or under remote control, combining effective offensive capability with stealth and defensive countermeasures to protect against space debris and electronic warfare.

We will work to launching this satellite with the Ypres Front's cooperation.

Ceasefire for Synodos
With the global blackout seemingly growing out of control, the Yprian troops in Greece have kept tight control over the situation. With no Yprian infrastructure there, our troops’ equipment have not been affected, however, until the situation is resolved, it is likely that airfields will have to be operated without electricity.

HOWEVER, we do not want to engage in combat in a time where it is much more important to resolve more pressing issues. We propose a temporary ceasefire until the Synodos blackout is resolved, lasting 4 days. (2 days IRL time) During that time, Yprian troops will not obstruct Synodosian movement in anyway, being military or civilian. The 4th Motorized Infantry Brigade (stationed in Northern Greece), has been ordered to stop firing and to allow any and all movement on the front.

Note that we do not guarantee the USSR’s acceptance of the ceasefire.

Harshness for TK
Terrae Karunethiae has not stopped it’s bombing campaign, even in the midst of the chaos the blackout has started, and even though USSR operations have ground to a halt. Up to this point, we have refrained from using our troops to their full potential, however, with TK apparently showing no sympathy, we will not be holding back anymore. One-third of our LS-244 and LS-2410 tanks stationed in Greece have had their weapon control system modified, with much more powerful radar systems (taken from other vehicles) have replaced the original radar system (which was only intended for protection). These LS tanks, with their 90mm and 95mm autocannons, have now turned their fire to the sky, locking onto the big, lumbering bombers. The shells they fire are shrapnel & high-explosive proximity-fuse shells, meaning that a direct hit is not needed.
The F-22s are safe from the ground AA units, however, our CSA-241 fighters have relocated to an airfield in deep Greece for a decisive strike later on.

MV-26
The Ypres Front denies any responsibility for this attack, however, while we affirm our government has no hand in this matter, we do admit and, in fact, propose, that it is the action of a private force, very likely a band of highly-skilled hacktivisits. Power was cut off from most of Northern and Eastern Ypres, with Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and Arizona all suffering blackouts. However, Ypres - the capital - along with surrounding areas were able to restore power soon after blackouts (Ypres is in the modern-day Los Angeles area), since backup generators had already been on standby in preparation for any damage to the capital due to the war in Greece.

The Yprian Police has started an investigation into any possible connections to Nameless, the largest hacker organization in the world. Nameless has a few large bases in The Ypres Front (although they are spread worldwide), and have been known to hire out their services to the highest bidder, be they a millionaire or a government.

Also, we will not be installing BoredVPN…

Quendellian Famine
We acknowledge that the Quendellian government is still considering our terms, and in fact, we encourage further deliberation.
However, since Quendell has given permission to start aid missions, the government has followed several nonprofits, with 600 transport planes taking off from Yprian airports to airdrop food, clean water, and medicine.

We also ask if we are allowed to dispatch five light infantry companies (each 200 men), to act as aid troops and to protect aid convoys, since some citizens in rural areas have reacted with hostility to Yprian trucks.

STC Crumbels, War in Former Spacelandia

Postby TSL Control » Mon Aug 26, 2024 8:55 am

Breaking News:

After about a week of revolt and fighting within the STC, the STC government has officially dissolved and surrendered to any and all rebels. The military has been crumbled and the first rebel forces are now entering the capital bringing destruction with them. About 6,000 innocent people were killed in the capital as clashes between different factions of rebels have broken out. UCS forces have been forced out with the UCS having lost 1,067 troops, a battleship and 36 humvees in this conflict. The now dissolved STC government lost over 30,000 men and the rebels have lost as bout 30-40,000. With the rebellion now over, there is a lot of infighting happening amongst the different factions in what is turning the conflict ever more deadly.

In what was formerly Spacelandia, Aznavian forces are starting to crush all other groups and have taken over about half of the former Spacelandia massacring 100,000 people in the process, the four sided civil war has already cost the lives of over 300,000 people.

D.E.U.S. News Network: First Strike
Harold looked around the debriefing room, "Why are we here, Ronald?"

"Because they told us to be, Harold. We've gone over this a thousand times." He replied slightly annoyed at where this was leading.

"But these people have giant invisible death robots. And I'm not joking when I say that you can barely hide from those things. We should be trying to find a way to defeat them. But instead we're in the f****** Pacific."

Ronald just shook his head, "Harold, we have a job. Maybe this is a way to do that or maybe it's a bunch of useless junk. Just do it."

Commander Aaron Letally entered the room and called for quiet, "Alright here's how this is going to go. We will depart in groups of five. Each group has their target. Usual surround and attack tactics, they can't hit all of us at once, and even if they can, they can't stop our torpedoes that close. Once your ammunition has run out get back to the Hiveship, if you don't return, we will assume you dead. We can't stick around; they'll find us too fast. It's a risk we have to take,

"Let's move out men. It's time we strike, let's hit them hard."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The small boat rode low on the waves, It's small form the same color as the waters. The lookout spotted the target fleet ahead.

"Destroyer and Three Patrol ships. One of the patrol's hanging back."

Ronald nodded. The Destroyer was the target, they would have to distract the Patrol ships. He looked around at the other boats in his detachment. They knew what to do.

The Two boats to his left peeled off heading towards to Patrol ship in the back, while him and the other two boats slowed their approach on the Destroyer. Once the boats got within 7,000 meters the patrol boat saw them and began to attack them. When they were closer in the boats each launched one of their torpedoes at the Patrol ship while dodging the attacks. One of the torpedoes hit the aft section of the Patrol ship causing it to begin to stall. The other two Patrol ships took notice, and one turned to help while the Destroyer turned its guns on the small boats. The two boats to his right peeled off and engaged the Patrol ship still by the Destroyer. The Patrol ship instantly turned its guns on them and began to fire.

Ronald floored it towards the Destroyer. 8 kilometers. 5.5 kilometers, The Destroyer turned its guns on them. 3 Kilometers, Ronald was dodging fire, his lookout fell dead out of the boat. 2 kilometers, Ronald's gunners let all four of his torpedoes go. Ronald turned around trying to pull distance, the Destroyer took out one of the torpedoes. Another Patrol boat's bow exploded. Bullets thumped into his boat. One of the torpedoes hit the Destroyer midship. A large explosion went off to his left. The next Torpedo hit the Destroyer's bow. The rest of his Detachment began pulling away from the engagement. The last Torpedo hit the Destroyer's ammunition stores.

The explosion was deafening. Ronald heard splashing behind and around him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three of the torpedo boats made it back to the Hiveship. Ronald's detachment was the most successful, the rest had few boats left or didn't show up at all, but all targets were hit. In total 6 Patrol boats, 3 Destroyers, and 1 Cruiser were sunk. Total loses were 12 Torpedo boats, and 52 men.

Hiveship: a Medium sized ship around the size of a cruiser, designed to carry Torpedo Boats. The Hiveship usually carries 20 Torpedo Boats and is armed with AGM-114P/P+ Hellfire II missiles and a Goalkeeper CIWS turret.

Torpedo Boats: A small ship around 12 feet long armed with 4 four Mark 50 torpedoes. The torpedoes are launched through four tubes that sit underneath the water with two on each side of the ship. These boats can reach speeds of 60 knots and are designed to minimize wake. These boats are designed for fast stealth attacks using surround and overwhelm tactics with usually five to ten in a group launching torpedoes from multiple directions to minimize dodging. The boats general profile is low to the water and are usually an ocean blue.

The Quendellian Muntpaper: Blackout mystery solved again?

Postby Quendell » Mon Aug 26, 2024 10:26 am

Breaking news!!!
The Blackout Has arrived at Quendell leaving Adreo Vale stumped

The recent blackout has reached Quendell which has proved Adreo Vale's previous theory wrong, however he has come up with another theory which might explain the cause of these mysterious blackouts. This is what he said in a recent speech: Okay! Okay! my previous theory may have been wrong for creating an electromagnetic pulse that large is just not possible, however after many sleepless nights I have conjured a new theory. These blackouts that have occurred in Quendell and around the world may be caused by a computer virus created by a nation that is currently in war, but the problem isn't the motive the problem is that every country that has a motive has been effected by this. I wish I could tell you all more but I don't know much more myself. It's a big mystery it really is and whoever did this really is a genius for coming up with such an elaborate plot.
with that being said good luck to everyone.

Ypres front and the famine

Ever since trading with countries like Scorvie, Ypres front, and D.E.U.S, Quendell was seemingly recovering from its famine until the blackout that is which seemed to have rewinded our progress. Even the upper class citizens in the Star tick are struggling since most of them are dependent on electricity. this has been a disaster for everyone in the country, and the government is spending all their time and money on trying to fix this issue, however with the assistance of some other countries we could make it through this. One of those countries is the Ypres front who has just offered extra help and assistance further increasing the respect Quendell has for it. The 82 year old supreme leader of Quendell Hurl Mondogo has immense respect for the Ypres front.

World War

Synodos has become a battle field where no mercy stands, and men are treated like flies. The Quendellians are getting angrier and angrier with the governments and countries heavily participating in the war, but they can't do anything about it. All we can say is curse TK and curse the USSR!!!

Foreign Policy
Recently, there has been backlash at Trump for continuing the war. Trump recently made a speech about this;
“You know, I find it ironic, very ironic, that these pompous fools in Quendell have the audacity to speak about the war, while they sit on their asses out in the middle of Asia doing sweet F.A. And now, they have the audacity to say “but there should be peace! Peace would be amazing! We need peace!” They bemoaned, they screamed. Now, honestly, we are the good guys here, because let’s be real here, okay? These villains are taking over Greece, flattening cities with their evil suits of assault. But yes, we are on the precipice of fixing these issues! We will soon be able to penetrate their armour!”

Technology
Now, our good scientists in the alps have developed a new sort of weapon, known as the FU-1, named by Trump himself. It uses uranium-235 cut in a very specific shape. It is cut in the shape of a bullet with a narrow hole at the back. Now, there is a small glass wall at the top-back of the gun, where a small helium atom is stored and heated by the glass magnifying light onto it. It is heated up to several thousand degrees due to the immense magnification. When the gun is fired, the helium atom is shot through the back chamber via a pressurised container behind, into the bullet in the chamber. This occurs while the chamber is filled with methane, a highly combustible gas. The high temperature of the atom ignites the methane as it moves through, and this occurs until the helium atom reaches the uranium bullet. Once this happens, the bullet begins to undergo nuclear fission within itself. As this occurs, the gas pushes the bullet out of the holster and towards the enemy. Once the bullet hits its enemy, it will be able to fully ignite, creating a nuclear explosion only a hundred meters wide. This, while not being very destructive, is a very effective and very human design. There are still a few quirks with the design, however early versions have been deployed to the battlefield for testing.

Advancing USSR Soldiers shelled during their Advance!

With the warfront evacuated, and most of Larissa lying dead, Synodosian officials have abandoned peace talks, receiving no response from the USSR. Synodosian Artillery Batteries have started to bombard USSR advance positions as they close in on the defense line. The first 5,000 troops that received formal training returned, having only around 3 days of training now, are much more formidable, loading guns faster and able to function properly on the battlefield. 5,000 more recuits have been sent up there, as well as an extra 5,000 from the frontlines, so the frontlines manpower sits at 35,000 still. TK support troops lie at about 15,000, so around 50,000 troops hold the line. The Oil Dome has also gone back online, sending missile strikes at supply convoys and the Guerilla campaign is in full swing once again. Bridges, train tracks, airfields and key roadways were subjected to scorched Earth retreat, leaving them destroyed beyond repair a couple days ago.

The Synodosian Board of Directors has also come out and stated its thanks for the support of Kyrek, TK, and the DEUS.

Technology

Dubbed PROJECT EPHIALTES, and PROJECT OTIS, named after the two giants who threw mountains at the gods, the two projects started in complte secrecy at the beginning of the war in the Alps has entered its final stages. It is predicted to see its first warfare in 2 weeks. (4 days irl time if I'm not mistaken. If I am someone please tell me.)

The Synodosian Resistance force is also fully equipped with state of the art TK weaponry.

Politics

The Synodosian Government continues to urge Neutral powers to attempt to pressure the Dual Alliance to withdraw from Greece. Espeicially after close to 150,000 people lost their lives in Larissa. Not soldiers, civilians. The city was undefended due to a Synodosian withdrawl. A massacre.

Support to Quendell

The USSR asks Quendell if it would like the USSR to send some technicians to help them repair their electric generators. We admit our world reputation doesn't look too god, but we assure you that no harm will be done to any civilians. Not an armed Silvai will be entering Quendell.

We are also interested in sending food aid. Due to our close proximity, we could send aid more regularly and in larger quantities.

Synodos Sacrilege Statements Subdued

The USSR did not advance. We are at a standstill for now. And we apologize for the late response, as our dear leader now has to go back to the university to study, so his responses may be delayed.

D.E.U.S. Attacks USSR Naval Ships

The USSR confirms the losses of our ships. Their bodies were collected and state funeral for the lost comrades was held.

New Technology

The USSR's Premier, Silver Knight of the Union, announces this:

"Yes, we know what we did. We know what we did was atrocious. But we've shown the world now what we can do. We dearly thank TWU and Ypres Front support for our nation, and we will repay them duly.

As for the war, we still demand that SRC remain untouched. However, we might begin peace talks to talk about a buffer zone, should TK approve of this.

As for their new technologies that our rivals are developing, the 66th are well prepared for it. The 110th and our other W.U.S. Brigades are going to recieve some small upgrades from the 66th engineers."

Rebels Request Help

A government official in Silberstadt is taking a walk down the street enjoying the view, all of a sudden, 3 men walk up to him, they are rebels fighting TK in North Africa, they ask to speak with the leaders of the USSR, they ask for military assistance in helping free them from TK, they ask for guns and troops to fight. In return, they promise to help in the World War on the USSR’s side.


Today, a USSR government official was minding his own business taking a walk in Silberstadt when 3 men came up to him, representing the rebels fighting TK in North Africa. The government official led them to USSR General Ernst Busch. Here is what happened.



Location: An elegantly furnished office in Silberstadt, with the flag of the الإتحاد الفضي (USSR) hanging on the wall. General Ernst Busch, a middle-aged man with a stern yet composed demeanor, sits behind a large mahogany desk. His posture is impeccable, but his voice carries the weight of experience and authority. The three men, dressed in traditional North African attire, stand before him, their faces a mix of hope and tension.
Youssef Al-Najjar: (with a light-hearted tone)
"General, we’re fighting for freedom and dignity. We’ve been through a lot, and we need your support."

Samir Ibn Malik: (with a smile)
"We promise, General, we’ll be loyal allies, fighting side by side in the world war. Just give us a chance to bring victory."

General Ernst Busch: (surprising them by replying with a smirk)
"I understand your struggles, men, and I know what you’re asking for. This is a good opportunity for the USSR to gain influence in your region and secure some resources. But there’s one thing you need to understand."

(The rebels exchange glances, impressed and slightly relieved by his response. A light chuckle escapes them, appreciating his attempt at humor.)

General Ernst Busch:
"I won’t send my men or my weapons until you promise me one thing—you must never move against the interests of the USSR. Your loyalty must be unwavering, and you must support our goals at all times."

Ahmad El-Fahri: (nodding vigorously, chuckling)
"Of course, we promise. Our loyalty will be to you and the USSR, no need to worry."

General Ernst Busch:
"Good. In return, I promise you something as well. I will not allow any harm to come to unarmed civilians in your land. My men will respect your people, and they will provide the medical and technological assistance needed to rebuild what the war has destroyed. I don’t want anyone saying we have a heavy hand."

Youssef Al-Najjar: (grinning)
"Thank you very much, General, that’s exactly what we need. We give you our word, we’ll keep our promise."

Samir Ibn Malik: (with a wink)
"We’ll stand by your men, and we’ll never betray your trust. As they say, those who rely on the USSR will never go hungry!"

General Ernst Busch: (leaning forward slightly, his voice taking on a more intense tone but still with a hint of amusement)
"Remember, this is not just an alliance of convenience. It is an alliance of necessity, built on mutual respect and shared goals. Don’t forget that, and we will achieve great things together."

Ahmad El-Fahri: (grinning broadly)
"We will never forget, General, that’s our promise."

General Ernst Busch: (leaning back, satisfied, with a faint smile)
"Then it’s settled. You will have your weapons, your troops, and the support you need. But remember, the whole world is watching, and so am I."

(The rebels bow slightly in respect, their hope rekindled and spirits lifted by the general's light-hearted approach. They leave the office with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that they now have a powerful ally in their fight for freedom, and a newfound respect for a man who can speak their language—literally and figuratively.)

Rebels In TK, Chaos in Former STC

Postby TSL Control » Tue Aug 27, 2024 6:50 am

Breaking News:

In a third attempt at freedom, rebels in North Africa launch a massive attack on TK military bases around Africa, this time armed with, new and better guns and thousands of extra soldiers from the USSR. The rebels, calling themselves the state of Ghartak and Khujwan are fighting together but are both in agreement to split up the territory into two nations when done to prevent any civil war. Huge gains are being made with the entire western part of TK controlled North Africa being put under the control of rebels. With new troops and weapons being shipped at a steady rate through the long route since convincing Kyrek didn’t work so now USSR ships are taking the longer route. Many important military bases belonging to TK have been taken over. Seeing this success, many rebels in greater Tritonios (most of which is controlled by TK right now) are asking the same of the USSR in helping them take back their country in what is turning out to be a catastrophic disaster for TK all around their country.

In Former STC, rebels are now fighting amongst themselves over who gets to control the country and fighting has broken out yet again.

War
Trump recently made a statement about recent events unfolding across the nation, practically embroiling itself into a civil war;
"these evildoers, these villains, these communists, have instigated revolution within our great nation. Now, how are we going to fix this revolution, you may ask? Well, that is an amazing question, and i am here to answer it. We're gonna destroy em. Those rebels out in North Africa? We already killed all their good generals. And we moved our military equipment up to Greece. They're practically just a large armed mob. So we're gonna destroy em, and then we're gonna deport em. You know why? Because these rebels have been causing too much trouble, okay? Anyone found participating in the rebellion will be deported, and rebel leaders will be executed. And we will put them under blockade, to stop them. As for Tritonios, we have many patriots which have moved into the area, and have settled down there. I doubt the area will rebel. But just in case, we will be prepared. I have armed many settlers from the pre-war era massively, and so if there is a revolution there, it will be heavily dampered by these counter-measures. Now, i hear a lot of calls for peace from the USSR, but no willingness to compromise. Its very disappointing. They want to take OUR LAND to make a buffer, just because the pwecious wittle SRC cant be damaged. Well i say no more. I warn the USSR, from this point forth, we will not accept any form of negotiation. We demand unconditional surrender. If not, then i still have my good old trusty space weapon to stop them."
As North Africa breaks down for the third time, large counter-revolutions have taken place along the coastlines, mainly around the cities of San Haja, Maracesh, Algiers, Tangiers, Cyrene, and Tunis. This is because these areas have had large historic trading ties to the mediterannean Karunethiae states, and so have a large cultural influence inspired like them, much so that they are much different from their Bedouin brothers. Karunethiae armies have used these counter-revolutionaries to land forces from Iberia and Italia on the North African coasts, and have started holding these key ports, putting the revolts under siege. Meanwhile, Karunethiae ships in the Atlantic have fallen back to defending the North American coast and the Mid-Atlantic gap between DEUS and North Africa. This dramatically destretches the Karunethiae navy, allowing them to focus on securing Mauretania.
Meanwhile in the S.R.C., armed with the new FU-1's, several squadrons have begun their first advance into the S.R.C. Now, at least if it is discovered that there is an invisible USSR soldier trying to kill them, they can at least take them down with them. This, combined with a local Karunethiae population advantage allows Terrae Karunethiae to finally gain the upper hand in this war, though it is estimated that it will still take years to push the USSR out of Greece completely. As well as this, Trump has decided to go back into hiding for fear of his life being taken by revolutionaries, an intelligent choice. On top of all of this, Trump has started constructing a series of defensive bunkers across the Zuen Strip, arming the territory to the teeth to ensure nothing gets through. And, to top it all off, Terrae Karunethiae has exported several cargo ships worth of the FU-1 to DEUS shores. With carrier and destroyer escorts, it should arrive around Belém in approximately 4 days.

The Quendellian Muntpaper: TK and USSR; The War Continues

Postby Quendell » Tue Aug 27, 2024 11:48 am

TK and USSR's statements

The terrible World War has wreaked havoc across the world. regional blackouts are supposedly happening because of cyber attacks. Thousands upon thousands of people are dying in areas like northern Africa and Synodos. The main countries participating in this war are the USSR and Terrae Karunethiae, and both of them have given their thoughts on Quendell. Is that a good thing? I don't know. One of them gave a gentle approach offering assistance, trying to show that they are not as bad as they turn out to be. And the other a more rough approach showing that what they are doing is what must be done, and Quendell must not intrude into their business. Quendell has considered this response to both carefully and decides not to get anymore involved into this, however the blackout has done a great deal of damage to Quendell, and while most other countries have fixed this issue with their electricians, Quendell does not have the technology and electrical specialists to fix this and the people in Quendell that are dependant on electricity are suffering greatly from this, so Quendell has excepted the help of USSR, but Quendell has made it clear that it does not want to get involved in the war and it is doing this purely because it has to.

Adreo Vale

Adreo Vale has kept quiet on the blackout mystery but he says he is still working on it. Many people want to figure out who caused this catastrophe and are very angry with the people who did it.

D.E.U.S. News Network: Bring us the Power
As promised we are back. The power has returned and we are all cheering for it. But us at D.N.N. are taking a different approach to our reporting on it. Many see this as a failure of the government, and it is, but much good also came from this.

For one example, there are now Twenty more unprofessional basketball teams and rumors of an unprofessional league being formed. In fact almost every sport has had an increase of unprofessional teams.

With the declaration of war on the U.S.S.R. volunteer for all branches of the military have skyrocketed. Recruits have been pouring in by the thousands. Greatly boost the overallsn power of the military.

Terrae Karunethiae has sent a cargo load of FU-1s for field testing. D.E.U.S. scientists will continue research with them and begin reverse engineering, while our men are trained on how to use them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While missions in the Pacific continue D.E.U.S. has contributed to the blockade of the Atlantic. Most noticeably giving Terrae Karunethiae 2 fully manned and fitted Hiveships to use at their discretion.

In the Pacific front D.E.U.S. forces have hit more targets. It is getting tougher with U.S.S.R. forces taking notice and using more patrol ships to counter the Torpedo boats.

10 Patrol ships, 1 Destroyer, and 1 Cruiser were hit. 16 Torpedo boats were lost hitting targets, and the Hiveship carrying the last four was found. The escorting Destroyer was also sunk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

D.E.U.S. command has ramped up training and production. They have released a statement on their plans.

"We can not tell you where or when we will strike, but a massive strike is coming. You can be sure of it. The Black Fire is coming."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


May we ride the Dragons forever. God bless.

End of the Ceasefire, Negotiations fall through

After extensive debate, Synodos and the USSR were not able to come to a common ground in deciding a peace agreement, so the conflict will continue. Artillery barrages have begun to again bombard advance positions on the outskirts of Larissa. Additionally, the Oil Dome reports that 6 USSR supply ships are confirmed to have been sunk, with a further 4 left burning. 3 Synodosian patrol boats were destroyed in an engagement with a USSR destroyer on the outskirts of the Aegean.

First Synodosian Tanks reported

The Synodosian Resistance Force has shown they do have tanks, appearing to be the same model as the current TK main battle tank. Tanks outfitted with howitzers as well as flamethrower tanks and mechanized troop transports have also been spotted. The numbers are spotty, however, an accurate read on the tanks shows 52 tanks currently in operation, with 24 more seen on TK highways, operated by Synodosian fighters, headed to Greece. The tanks have reportedly had the machine gun replaced by a slower firing anti-personnel armor gun, specialized for combat against the USSR.

Technology

Along with the tanks, large shipping containers have also reached the battlefront, and while we can't get a close view, some type of retrofitting has been recorded. Project Ephialties and Otis are almost complete, down to 1.5 weeks until reportedly the first units see combat.

Blackouts in Northern Greece are all but gone, and power has been mostly restored.

War
Karunethiae ships have regained control over the Strait of Gibraltar, fixing their blockade. This, combined with their heavy militarisation of the Suez will stop all supplies coming in by boat. Meanwhile, ships stationed in the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea will shoot down all planes flying towards the SRC. This will help the Karunethiae blockade of the SRC. Meanwhile, with their new FU-1’s being finished, Karunethiae forces armed with them have begun their first advance around Terovo. This advance consisted of 300,000 Karunethiae forces armed with FU-1s, and is currently threatening to cut off USSR forces around Preveza. Meanwhile, a Sydonos Government has been established in Northern Greece, allowing for them to have governmental power. Terrae Karunethiae fully recognises their independence. Meanwhile in North Africa, General Sanzhak has returned, and immediately armies of Cyrenaican rebels surrendered, fearing his wrath for the third time. This allowed for the capture of Tripolis and Sfax. As well as this, power has been restored to the nation. This is a time of seemingly huge victories for Trump, however he recently went live and said “These victories speak for themselves. What can I say? I’m great. Trust me, there will be absolutely no more complications with this war, at all, I can tell you, we will defeat these demons, and we will emerge victorious in Greece, for Democracy.”

Notes:
  • @Synodos, from what I can tell, the game clock goes at twice the speed of irl time, so 2 weeks ingame is actually 1 week irl
  • @Karunethiae, I think you’re mistaken or something? Terovo is northern Macedonia. We’re all the way in Southern Greece. Sure of what you wrote?


War In Greece
First of all, we would like to say that we are dismayed at the fall through of peace talks. We merely wish for one thing: that the Synodos corporation give the SRC government a chance before deciding to rebel.
More importantly, we would like to remind Karunethiae and Mr. McDonalds over there that our presence in Greece is even bigger than the USSR’s. You might say that the USSR’s troops are more dangerous, that their equipment is much more advanced. Well, it might be, but:

You have not tested us yet. You do not even know what speed is

With that, let’s get to business.
Now, since Karunethiae has not mentioned any aerial strikes, we’ll assume that our converted AA guns were quite effective. We have converted half of these 30 vehicles back to normal, and the other half continues to provide aerial defense.
With the Karunethian offensive incoming, the 2nd, 3rd, and 17th paratrooper brigades have landed in Terovo, and have fortified themselves in the forests on the mountains surrounding the city. (Look up the three Battles of Doiran. We’re in the same position as the Bulgarians. See how it’s gonna go for you, just like the Brits, thinking numbers is enough.) The 4th Motorized Infantry brigade has faded into the hills around Athens, and the last report from their colonel only said that he was “going for a cakewalk, and then a blitz to top it”. Several key bridges exploded later that day.

Synodos government established
While we do agree that Synodos should exist, we do not agree with their location. Once again, they did not even give the SRC a chance to catch its breath right after its establishment.

Quendell
We applaud the Quendellian government for its resilience in the face of the odds, and we withdraw our demand that the current government be overturned. Instead, we simply wish to see a change in policy.
With the blackout recently hitting Quendell, governmental authorities found themselves unable to deal with its size, and Yprian non-profits have intervened to help restore electricity. While the Yprian official government will not intervene directly, it will provide material to repair and improve electrical infrastructure.

Situation in STC deteriorating even further
The infighting in the STC is a deep cause for concern. While the government has decided against intervention, several voices in parliament have spoken in favor. In the meantime, asylum centers through the nation are filling up. A semi-permanent wall has been constructed on the Yprian-Spacelandia border, allowing better border control and preventing any of the fighting from coming to our side.
The government has started several massive infrastructure and housing projects to provide living space and jobs for the new refugees, who have been welcomed with open arms.

Military projects

Fruits of the D-DAY project
The D-DAY projecthas yielded some fruit. Small fruit, but still fruit. New landing vehicles have been developed, to better integrate with the new amphibious vehicles being developed.

New project: Slinger
Project Slinger has been started. Yprian scientists, searching for a way to deliver projectiles at much higher speeds than normal to increase the effectiveness of smaller projectiles, hit upon the Gaussian concept. Using a base concept similar to Newton’s cradle, a weight (the “trigger weight”)is attracted to a magnet, and then hits on the magnet’s side, transferring its momentum to the magnet, and from that to a series of “spacers” which are all the same weight as the magnet. The projectile is at the end of this series, and since the spacers kept it far away from the magnet, it consumes less energy exiting the magnetic field than the trigger weight transferred upon entering, meaning it exits at a higher speed than the trigger. Multi-stage gauss guns are also possible, with the exiting projectile acting as the trigger for another system, increasing the speed even further

At the end of this project, we hope to use anti-tank and anti-air systems that are completely gunpowder-free. This in turn would mean silent guns (except for the supersonic bullets), no muzzle flash, no recoil, and increased stealth.

Karunethian military project: FU-1
After looking over the brief description that the Karunethian military provided in its recent description of the FU-1, our scientists have declared this weapon simply a propaganda tool, since it is unfeasable according to physics.

To focus light on an object, you have to be able to see it. The wavelength of visible light (which is what they are focusing on their helium atoms) is 400–700 nanometers. A helium atom is 0.4 nanometers across, making it unfeasible to focus light onto it. Electron microscopes are the only microscopes that can see atoms for a reason. Now if he uses X-Rays, which can reach 0.1nm in wavelength, that would require an external power source, which would need to be replenished frequently due to the massive amounts of energy it takes to heat an atom to thousands of degrees.

Now, in case, TK works around that, it would be impossible to heat up a helium atom to “several thousand degrees”. While heating up, the helium atom would be releasing energy in the form of radiation, and a lot of it if it’s being heated to that temperature. The highest melting point of any element is tungsten, at 3380 Celsius, and the highest melting point compound is Hafnium carbonitride, which melts at 4110 Celsius. Unless he’s using some unknown element (which is impossible as well, since all unknown elements have atomic numbers larger than uranium and are thus radioactive), the casing around this helium atom would melt/combust.

In case TK works around that, helium cannot be used as the trigger of a nuclear fission reaction. Nuclear fission starts when a neutron enters an atom and makes it too unstable. A helium atom has two protons, two neutrons, and the neutrons aren’t going to separate from the protons due to the attraction between them. If somehow he managed to make the U-235 accept the helium, that’s nuclear fusion, which releases even more energy than fission, and it would be impossible to place enough protection on the barrel to protect whoever’s holding the weapon (nuclear reactors are massive for a reason).
Now if he somehow manages to split the helium atom, that’s another nuclear fission reaction, which would have to occur before entering the bullet to be able to start the chain reaction.


G’day to you all, and that would be all for today.

Correcting misconceptions

Some claim they have sunk USSR ships near Greece. The only ships USSR owns there are 2 hidden ekranoplans. We have no supply ships there.

Air Drops Halted

The USSR halts sending aircraft towards Greece due to TK's air superiority in the region.

Support for Quendell

With the Quendellian government's approval, the USSR sends technicians to repair the electric generators and fuel. The USSR also sends food aid via air transport as well as scientists to work on drought-resistant crops.

Peasants and farmers are given some Silbermarks to ease them of their burdens temporarily. Farmers are also given new state-of-the art tractors and farming equipment.

Military Actions

The USSR does nothing towards the gathering up Karenthians. Let us be called tyrants and whatnot; we know how to get around the FU-1.

However, the USSR orders it's military ships to remain close to shore, where they will be in range of our naval artillery.

Technology
Recently, accusations of the FU-1’s existence being fake have come out. We are here to tell you it is all too real, and we will explain how;
First issue: the heating the atom part;
Now, we have done research on this, and have found that it never needed to be heated in the first place so long as it moves as fast as the bullet itself. Big oops on our part, yet this does not prevent the gun from working, therefore we will be removing this from future designs and keeping the rest in the field.
Second Issue: Heat;
This is no longer an issue with the first issue being solved as well.
Third issue: splitting the atom;
Ionisation, which only requires a small amount of energy per atom, can in fact split electrons from atoms without causing a nuclear reaction. Also, even if it did, due to it being a singular atom, it wouldn’t have any effect. As well as this, spallation can be used. Spallation is the process of firing electrons or protons at atoms to split the neutron off. This can be done with minimal energy as well.
Warfare
Recently, Trump has send his forces out south from Terevo, cutting off enemy forces at Preveza, and taking over the area. This has allowed Karunethiae forces to threaten the SRC rear. As well as this, Ypres forces fortifying at the hills near Tevero is going splendidly for Karunethiae forces, because due to their FU-1’s, they can mount one onto an F-22 and just shoot them from the skies, wreaking nuclear havoc on their fortifications. Obviously, this F-22 had other BUFFs and F-22’s protecting it. After the havoc was wreaked on these fortifications, a pilot dropped a wooden board with the engraving “Get cooked” on the side of it at the site. This inspired the group to land back in Karunethiae territory and request to be moved up to further attacks. This was accepted by Trump himself, as he gave them the name “The Nuclear Flyers”.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that the Ypres Front, after minimal investigation of their news, is planning a naval operation known as “D-Day”. With landing craft and everything. This has led to Karunethiae forces fortifying the Atlantic Coast, and heavily navally focusing on the region, practically turning Europe into a fortress.

Corrections

In a previous post, we said supply ships were hit. Apparently some commercial fishermen are either dead or need a new boat. They might be compensated. If they fill out the required forms, that is.

War

With the TK advances down the east side of Greece, the Synodosian Forces have begun to advance. To fill their place, 20,000 recruits will fill the trenches in case of emergency, constantly building it up, as well as simultaneously training for combat. The first 5,000 recuits have begun formal training and are expected to be one in about 2 months. Strikes against USSR and Ypres advance positions have been successful, but the real battle remains to be seen.

PROJECT Ephialtes and Otis

Both have been revealed to the public. PROJECT Ephialtes is a project to develop a railgun with the capability of propelling a magnetized rod with the wieght of around 4 tons. Currently the range sits at just over 45 miles. Accuracy is about 78%, and durng testing, results were devastating. The point was to provide damage to a single target with the fear of the munitions being shot out of the air, like a missile, or pre-exploded like is possible (but I don't think developed yet) with a high-explosive shell and a very potent laser. Currently, with a single target being a naval vessel, tank, or convoy vehicle, the range of use is limited. It requires massive amounts of energy and the magnets need to be replaced with every shot. One has been produced for the battlefield, and with it only about 5 rods. The good news is that it is mounted on a larger than average tank chassis. The bad news is that it required another one to follow it bringing along munitions and power. Again, they are very expensive to make, which could be solved with more R&D after this blood-filled war.

PROJECT Otis is of the same boat. However, it is more of a grape shot version of Ephialtes. Current range sits at about 50 miles. A cartridge a little girthier than Ephialtes however lighter is shot out of the same railgun. However, Otis contained many steel balls inside of it. They can be as small as pellets or as large as cannonballs. The goal is to make an anti-personel that can clear open fields and urban areas, as well as forests without the cost of a single Synodosian life. The canister that delivers the balls is pre-programed on a timer, and no computer systems are used, for fear of hacking. When the timer expires, the Canister will be released, and the balls should spread out over a large area. There is still a smaller and much thinner rod going down the center for staboility and can do damage if it hits something. however, chances are it won't becuase the release is violent to allow for a greater spread. the timing is simple, more time for less spead and more damage in a smaller area, or less time for greater spread and smaller area.

NOTE: the same gun CANNOT be used for Ephialtes and Otis. Three Otis weapons are under countruction, as it was deemed more effective, albeit much more expensive.

Government

The Provisional Government of Synodos was appointed to lead our country through the conflict. It will currently take on the government of a military junta, with Alexander Philip as the current leader, and the Board Of Executives as another governing body. The two will work together to keep our great country together, and retrieve land so violently taken from us.
