A whopping $744,320,866,926.00!
that's 65% of the total budget!

so, there's my answer.

First off, I'm going to ignore the fact that you aren't even economically capable of those large budgets. 2nd of all having those two things equal 65% of the budget leaves virtually no room for IMPORANT things for your nation to function such as health care, welfare, education, maintenance of public areas, funding for public areas themselves, and or any other government funded industries or organizations.

STFU and check it on NSEconomy!

The destroyer Socialismo saw Londresburg on the horizon. A lot of the top military commanders of Power and Stability thought this was gonna be hard and long civil war. But hopefully in the end the rebels will come out on top.

" Eagle Eye,This Socialismo. Be ready to land. Londresburg is in sight. Also, there is a change in plans. Our allies are also gonna be able to request air strikes from you and your squad. So be ready"
" Socialismo, this is Eagle Eye. I acknowledge. Eagle Eye out."

OOC: Sounds good.

IC: Given your inclusion of Paladins in you battle plan, the Steel Fraternity will assume that you mean to allow the foundation of Fraternity branches in Lusitaniagrad, and will support you on that condition.

However, it would be more prudent to have Valkyrie fighter-bombers off the Deus Ex Bellum conduct a bombing run against the supply depots and enemy positions in the city, followed by air-dropping Paladins from their Thunderbird transports to destroy enemy defensive hardpoints at the Army/Air Base, and then storm the base with the rest of our forces. Once it is secured, there will be nothing stopping us from taking the whole city.

--Brother-Militant Thomas Voerman, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Skorzenian Military and Elder of the Steel Fraternity

Aye, and the F-18's of the Lollipop can fly air-superiority and cover for the bombers.

Also, what can Captain Pheric of the Output and his comrades aboard the Tailwind expect in the realm of naval engagements?

The Royal Navy would be stupid to try and break the allied blockade around New Lusitaniagrad so minimal, but keep an eye out for em.

If your vessel joins the Bellum and its escorts just off the east coast of Lusitaniagrad, they can support each other.

--Brother-Militant Thomas Voerman, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Skorzenian Military and Elder of the Steel Fraternity

Sounds like a feasible plan. The Lollipop will also join you. We'll have a carrier group in place to prevent the Royal Air Force from trying to bomb the beachheads and rebel strong points.

Who should be in command of our naval strength?

The soldiers spent quite a deal of time trying to get to the embassy. The nation was in panic and there was only so much time left. They arrived at the embassy, the front grauds opened the gate. The troops set up a perimeter of defence and began getting everyone out, The Commander, Colonel Loristen called the imperial government "We do not have much time, but if there absolutely anyone who wishes to flee then they can come with us under our diplomatic immunity but we must leave quite soon." He hung up, everyone was almost done packing and the troops had seemed to mellow out.

I second that

OOC: we are talking about the navy forces correct? Because everyone is staying in charge of their own land forces.

Very well the Fraternity shall take command of allied ground forces. But remember, the Steel Paladins rely on their Thunderbird tiltrotor aircraft for long range transportation and air-drop deployment, so unless the LLF has control of airbases of its own, the Bellum will need to stay within their flight range.

Can our ground forces sound off so I can take stock of our situation?

500 Steel Paladins.

You have 25 000 Derpedian Stormtroopers landing at Lusiporto.

Also, what ships have you committed?

Posted: **Wed Jul 28, 2010 5:40 pm**

Ok here it is,
The Steel Freternity is in charge of the Navy and special forces
The Republic of Derpeda is in charge of the Air Force
Chairman of the LLF is in charge of the Allied Ground Army
This needs to look like a Lusitanian Victory to inspire hope for the people behind the monarchist lines.

The Steel Fraternity has given me command of the naval forces, in return for command of my Stormtroopers. You may command your own F-18's.

OOC: If you want me to command the air force, I'm fine with that. I don't call the shots here, you do.

Posted: **Wed Jul 28, 2010 5:55 pm**

There is a change in plans in the amount of troops Power and Stability will be contributing.Along with Socialismo the destroyers Freedom and Liberty will be aiding the allied forces. Along with:

15,000 more infantry troops, which will make 20,000 troops in total
5 B-52 Stealth Bombers
25 F-20 Foghter jets

The transport planes that had dropped the paratroopers off earlier began landing at their designated spots according to their schedule. Colonel Loristen had tried to provide support to the Imperial government by offering transport but their attempts were now in vain. They began their rush for the aircraft, they had though been able to gather a small decent number of civilians. The men provided cover while everyone got onboard, once they were all on they began to load onboard themselves.

So is this the command roster then, or is the Fraternity in charge of ground forces?

If command issues aren't ironed out, we will withdraw our support rather than send our fighting men and women off in some chaotic military operation.

Oh c'mon, its not too chaotic. Besides, we need all the support we can get.

I fly a modified Jackalope VTOL, so as to command my forces with superior effectiveness, but when I get shot down, I have my faithful Hellhammer .50 caliber Pistol to aid me and the soldiers that I end up leading on the ground. it is a method better than deploying an AWACS plane, after all, AWACS planes can't cut up entire squads with a hailstorm of bullets, nor can they send a missile screaming into someone's house/headquarters, correct?
