Main government hall, Porohare, Ostehaar
February 9th
It's been several minutes since Prime Minister Dorias had left the meeting room to answer an important call. The atmosphere was tense - Nine ministers and Five generals sat in total silence and gazed around, waiting for a final decision.
The Prime Minister stormed into the room and didn't even bother to sit down. "Well," he began, "the generals here have been quite clear in their optimism, and most of you around this table voted for taking action against Ventlimer as soon as possible." He took a deep breath and exhaled, "I've just spoken with Dihn and Alex, and both of them told me they would have voted for taking action as well. This pretty much settles it... We're at war."
The meeting then took off on a different direction, with the generals leading the discussion about specific military plans and suggestions. "Our goal is clear, friends," Minister Dulikh said after plans of invasion were mentioned, "we are not going to invade Ventlimer. It can be helpful if they would think we are, but that is not the goal. We should concentrate our efforts in terminating Ventlimer's intervention in Atnaia, destroying their fleet in the Mesder Sea, and clarifying that we will not stay quiet for killing our agents and going boldly against the coalition." Prime Minister Dorias nodded slowly in agreement.
Eventually a strategy was formed. That night, an airlift of planes, armament, and cargo began pouring from Ostehaar to Dashgrinaar, located less than 300 kilometers south of Ventlimer and right next to the supply routes for Ventlimer's fleet. Simultaneously, Ostehaar's only escort-carrier sailed westwards, accompanied by its battle group and another flotilla of missile ships.
