E. McDacey walked into the room and was greeting by standing assistants. He headed towards his seat.
"Can we actually attack the Justinian Horde?"
"Definetly. We will be in Istanbul in a week or so."
"We have more soldiers and resources" said the second assistant "so the victory will be ours"

Iraq-Antolian border
Under the cover of the night, The Anglo soldiers went into the Justinian territory and bombarding their strategic positions. The Justinians did not expect the attack so the soldiers were able to easily get deeper into Anatolia

At the last second, the Anglo Arabian administration drafted a quick Letter to the Justinians:
"War declared on you. Surrender immediately!"

[Cordoban Spain]

The Spanish monarch was considering his options: he liked to have Istanbul as a part of his realm and Spain was a close ally of Anglo Arabia. He decided to gather his ministers and talk about the matter with them in a great detail. He had France breathing down his neck and an urge to help his ally at the same time. Then, he took his pen and made a decision...

Batu Myron ran into the imperial bedroom , and rang the royal gong to wake the emperor.
" Unless its an emergency , or you want to get beheaded , dont wake me up , now which is it" the emperor yawned.
"THE ANGLO ARABIANS HAVE INVADED , AND WANT US TO SURRENDER!" Batu said nervously
"MY GOD , WHY DIDNT YOU SAY THAT SOONER?! ALERT THE ARMY , WE'RE GOING TO BEAT THEM IF ITS THE LAST THING WE DO!"

Around the strait of Marmara

Although only a few places could be warned of the oncoming attack , those that were had a greater chance of withstanding the assault than those that werent , though that chance was still fairly small given that lack of defenses around all but a few key places like constinople ( nicknamed the iron city for its ability to withstand any assault) and Canakkale (the cannon city which has more turrets than most military bases )

Topkekkian News Network
Following recent tensions between the Justinian Horde and the Anglo-Arabian empire, many Topkekkians have urged the government to take a stance on the conflict. So far, Maximilian Phyrexus has refused to do so, stating that conflicts in the far away Balkans are not the state's concern. However, some are taking matters into their own hands, travelling overseas to help the Justinians, due to their loyalty to the Orthodox Church, centered in Constantinople.

Sergei waited nervously at his post in Constantinople. He knew the Arabians were coming, it was only a matter of time. He nervously clutched his rifle. It was a TPA standard issue SCAR-H, purchased just for this moment, but he was beginning to regret his involvement. He knew it was essential to protect this land from the heretical Muslims, but the threat of attack still remained. His friend, Yuri, similarly armed, gave the worried man a reassuring nod before continuing to scan the landscape outside of the bunker.

Constantinople,the Justinian Horde
Topkekkian Volunteers
Captain Argus Zaya was worried , he had been charged with leading one of the companies of inexperienced Topkekkian Volunteers defending the capital of the justininian horde against the arabs. And yet he wasnt nervous about that , Constantinople was to well armed , defended and fortified to be taken over and his platoon was part of a Devision whose colonet was handpicked by the emperor himself so the odd of them being defeated was infintismal in his mind. No what worried him was what would happen if everything but Constantinople would fall , after all the great Justinian Horde of old had lost almost everything without its constantinople falling once , so whosae to say it wouldnt happen again.

[Anglo-Arabian Empire]

Anglo Arabian soldiers have quickly advanced through the central Anatolia and have split into two groups: east and west. The western group was tasked with securing Istanbul and was bigger. The group east was tasked with preventing any Justinian reinforcements from reuniting.

Anglo destroyers and other battle ships are nearing the west coast of Anatolia. Lavi fighter jets are targeting the Justinian positions. The amphibious ships are looking for a spot on the coast to so the soldiers can safely land.

[Anglo-Arabian Empire]

Northern Anatolia

With little resistance from the escaping Justinian forces, Anglo-Arabian troops have finally secured the northern city of Sinop. They are seeing some movement on the eastern Justinian side and are preparing for a counter-attack. The group west is advancing towards Izmir and Istanbul burning down all Justinian military facilities and acquiring their weaponry as a war booty.

After having 3 Lavi fighter jets downed by Justinian SAMs and 2 of them damaged, the airplanes have unleashed packs of anti-radiation missiles targeting the Justinian electronics (100 missiles in total from the nearby transport aircraft).

Northern Anatolia

About 1000 soldiers remain in Samsun , and Zonguldak to slow down the Anglo-Arab troops , help evacute the few remaining civilians , and blow up the military bases if the time comes , though the soldiers are keenly aware its a suicide mission , they seem to take great pride in doing what they can to help their nation .

Smyrna was a fortress city with five rings of defenses and a compliment of 10.000 soldiers , and 40 fighters .
Between constantinople and Smyrna all military baes had been evacuated and all their ammo , weaponry , and vehicles had been taken , leaving nothing behind but empty buildings.

90 of the anti radiation missiles miss their mark due to interferrence from radio antenas broadcasting signals similar to the ones to used by the defense system , the remaing ten hit their mark destroying 10 percent of the defense systems , the Air to Ground missles seem to be more effective destroying 40 percent of the total defenses , the other missiles end up being destroyed by the defebse systems. 5 justinian fights are lost dog fighting the lavi fighters.

Black sea

The anti sub ships destroy 4 subs , but a few of thwm are thenselves destroyed by ships defending the subs, 6 bombers are lost fighting the anglo ships but not before destroying at least on ship , Justinian fighters and bombers on crimea have been ordered to target the Anglo-Arabian ships carrying anti-air defenses and planes in the black sea .

"Now, what about the Topkekkians? I mean, there is a strong pro-Justinian sentiment over there and they've got their bases here."
"We shall assign our agents to keep an eye on those three bases. They are thosuands of miles away and won't do a lot to us." assured the Gen. #2
"There may be formed some kind of volunteer corps or crap. Do we have a plan for that?" questioned the Monarch
"Sir, I assure you. We learned from our last war. We shall use our experience to get Istanbul and fend them off..." assuered the Gen. # 1

We are willing to accept their capitulation if they give us Istanbul and allow the authority over the Strait of Bosphorus".

Near Greece...
Spanish battleships are attacking the Justinian facilities and the soldiers are assembling for an easy landing on the beach near the city of Kalamata since most of the Justinian forces are in Athens and Istanbul.

Today, Great Feng officially announces it's sidings against Cordoban Spain, and sides with the Justinian Horde, as it considers that they are in the right.

A lone cargo vessel sat in the inlet near the town. A ramp came off of it, followed by a series of men wearing patches and carrying AK-12 rifles purchased back home. A benefactor who owned a shipping line had given the ship to the Order as a gift, and they were dead set on making use of it. With a series of trucks pulled out of cargo containers, the hundred men marched ashore and prepared to seize the place.

OOC: AA, how well defended is this place? Is it even defended? I intentionally tried to pick a relatively small town so that I could work with a hundred much better.

And so the emperor simple wrote to Great Feng , "thank you"

Greetings! We are sending a great number of troops across neutral Kazahkstan to your nation. They'll arrive in a week or two on your border. That is all.

News that the Feng Empire had sent a million-yes, a million- forces to help the Justinian horde.
700,000 forces crossed neutral Kazahkstan without incident, and arrived on the border, waiting for permission to enter and begin moving south towards the border.
In the meantime 300,000 Feng forces requested permission to arrive in Topkekia as a resting stop before moving into the naval war and going across the Indian sea to attack Spain and Anglo-Arabia.

Colin looked out briefly and spotted a series of police vehicles moving towards him. He picked up a loudspeaker he had thought to bring with, especially for sending messages like this.
"People of Anglo-Arabia: Repent, for the hour of your deliverance from the heathen rulers who would attack Constantinople! Repent sinners, and submit!" He wasn't sure how effective the speech would be, but it seemed good when he had run it by the other members of his crusade earlier. No matter. If it came to blows, their military training and superior firepower would surely win them the day.

Northern Anatolia

Anglo-Arabian forces begin to besiege the cities of Zonguldak and Samsun. They are being bombarded with artillery and mortars. The soldiers are placing various obstacles in order to prevent Justinian soldiers coming from the east. The group east was split into two and one them are advancing west in order to take Istanbul.

Black sea and southwestern anatolia

The Anglo Arabian ships are shooting at the remaining Justinian watercraft. They have numbers on their side. Some of the battles ships begin to attack the Justinian fleet's flanks, with corvettes and frigates being in front and serving as a distraction and an attacking force.


Jazirah, the Emirates

The Policemen were very surprised to see a hundred of armed to the teeth men standing on the coast. The patrol boats encircled the ship which was used to carry this group of strangers. Then, the police chief questioned them through his loud speaker:
"Who are you and do you have the permit to even be here?"
He then sent a message to the nearby military base since the small town has never seen a show like that before.

"Permits? Nay, we need not permits! We are the Order of the Patriarchate! We are here to seek revenge for the Anglo-Arabian attack towards Constantinople," Colin cocked his weapon momentarily. "Repent swine, ere judgement cometh!" He really hoped that sounded like the sort of thing a good old fashioned crusader would say as he hopped down from his perch and motioned for his soldiers to open fire.

Northern Anatolia

Only 2000 civilians (mostly sickly older women) had not been evacuated from samsun , and only 1500 (most of them infirm older men) had not made it out of Zonguldak , and thankfully both cities had recently been equiped with Apollo C-rams so most of the mortars and artillery didnt even hit the cities . The justinian soldiers laid landmines in the cities and prepared the artillery to return fire.

Black sea and southwestern anatolia

The Justinian Ships fire everything they have at the anglo-arabian ships , while subs and bombers desperatly try to take out as many corvettes and frigates as they can .Although the Justinian fleet was smaller than the anglo arabian one , its compliment of subs , and the airforce was larger than the anglo arabian one , however wars are not one by air superiorty alone , and this naval war seened to be drawing to a disasterious end for the justinians .
