ThBa-14 rockets were the most powerful conventional weapon that Schwarzan land forces had. Several SflRaW with those rockets were used during assault on Rovaniemi, city where Finnish northern front stopped Schwarzan march. Sound which ThBa-14 rockets made is indescribable, and thermobaric explosions caused by their warheads turned people, vehicles and some buildings into flaming dust. After a valley of rockets destroyed Finnish lines of defence, Schwarzan tanks in a spearhead formation drove through cleared passage. Meanwhile soldiers transported into the city were clearing building by building. Finnish soldiers were determined to stop the Schwarzan invasion, even if it meant fighting to the last drop of blood.
On the south, SS Kommandos with help of regular army and firesupport from the Schwarzan flagship SWS Imperatum landed in Turku. Finland won't last long.

"They want us to design what?"
"A very large submarine capable of transporting troops stealthily."
"But that's quite resource intensive."
"Yes. But it's also quite good at moving people from place to place quietly."
"Fine. We have our orders, I'd suppose we should follow through with them."
"Aye. It's not our concern what they do with these plans after we make them."
And so the construction of the TSS Shozny began.

Algiers
The battle continues across the city. Most of the important building have been taken by the rebels and have defended them from solders attempting to take them back. The Algerian government is considering engaging in peace talks with the rebels.

We have begun developing submarines for transporting large amounts of supplies and/or solders.

Overwatch spotted it in the distance: A single prop plane, matching the description given by intel earlier that day. His thermal scope confirmed a number of heat signatures inside a nearby farmhouse, most likely guards. At least one was the emperor himself, Bonaparte IX. Hammer waited at the front door to the building, waiting for anyone to attempt to leave. The man was a blunt instrument as shown by his name, thick and burly like an ox, if oxen were able to kill full grown men without a moment's hesitation. Warlock, however, was quite different. His lithe body moved carefully and precisely as he prepared to breach through a window on the second floor, his firearm at the ready in his hands. The other two, Roman and Islander, peered in through windows at opposite sides of the house. The signal from Overwatch's radio sounded in all of their ears at the same time.

"Breach."

[The Third Empire of France]

After many failed attempts at taking back the locations taken by the rebels, the Algerian government has agreed to the rebels terms. The terms being a vote among the Algerian people on wether they want the old government to stay in power or the new one to come into power, which would lead to being annexed by France. The people are being informed of how many benefits, both rights and economics, it would bring them if they joined France.

[The Third Empire of France]

With a vote of 52% to 48%, Algeria has agreed to be annexed by France ending the civil war with a rebel victory.

[Topkekkia]

Madagascar
The glass shattered as Warlock, Roman, and Islander broke through the window. The bullets flew from their guns like whispers of death, striking those nearest them rapidly as the operatives entered the home. A man exited through the rear door to try to send some sort of warning, his head popping like a watermelon as Overwatch's shot struck him silently from a comfortable distance of a hundred meters away, the corpse and a brief muzzle flash the only evidence that anything had happened. Hammer stuck his sight up to the door, spotting a guard leaned up against it. The door opened as his hand quickly reached inside, cutting an incision into the man's throat as he cradled the body to the ground, keeping the noise to a minimum while he entered. The team was in.

However, the empire has announced an invasion of Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya.
Stay tuned world....

[The Third Empire of France]

The old emperor has surrendered and will agree to captivity by topkekia

The French government, including the emperor, has made many public statements condemning feng for its colonial plans but are unlikely to do anything to stop it.

The French government has announced their plan called the 'liberation of Africa'. This plan will bring stability and better living conditions to many African nations. Some of which might be annexed into France if the people choose to do so. There are plans of this spreading to south east Asia but it is only rumors.

We've received confirmation that the first battlefleet has captured the old French monarch, Napoleon. The 1st Battlefleet picked him up on Madagascar with the assistance of Topkekkian special forces. The French Tyrant is enroute back to the capital for trial of warcrimes and subsequent sentencing. In other news, Mexico has accepted an offer to be slowly integrated into the Union as the newest commonwealth of our great nation.

[The Third Empire of France]

Meetings with some African leaders have ended. Though they claim they want to improve the living conditions of their people with French support, they refuse to give up any power over to us. This detail is not known to the public.

The Empire of Liberty!
Mauritania, Mali, and Niger have been in invaded by French forces in Algeria.
"These corrupt dictators are suppressing their people, making them live in these unlivable conitions." Stated the emperor at his recent speech, "Any money they get to help they stuff in their pockets and use it for themselves! We tried to help these nations peacefully, but these dictators won't corporate in the slightest!"
He continued giving more justifications. Hating the governments and bringing compassion to their people.
As the French military continues towards the capitals of these nations, propaganda is being spread bringing an already obvious truth to these people gaining support for France.

Revolts!
Algerian Nationalists have began to protest and boycott against every thing French. Most have been peaceful with the exception of a few riots though violent protests and riots have been suppressed. Peaceful protests are aloud.
"Do you not realize how many freedoms and liberties you now have?" Said the emperor in a recent public address.

[Topkekkia]

Algeria
The helicopter touched down with a soft thud drowned out by the sound of the whirring blades above. The men inside began heaving out crates to the waiting men.
"What's in them?" asked the nationalist who they had contacted, quizzical at the prospect of aid from a mysterious benefactor.
"Arms. Two hundred SCAR-H battle rifles, over two hundred thousand rounds of 7.62 x 51 mm ammunition, and a pile of incendiary cluster grenades. All without serial numbers of course, we can't be having two many lines drawn between us, now can we?" responded the man only known as 'Blacksmith', which the Algerian thought was a stupid codename, but ignored it. After all, free weapons were free weapons. Before the Algerian could give a proper response, the helicopter lifted into the air once more, to who knows where. The only hint at who they were was someone mentioning something called 'The Order' before the flight of the chopper drowned out the sound.

[The Third Empire of France]

In a smaller City in Algeria some heavily armed rebels have attacked and killed many police and military officers. Though we have no idea where they got these weapons, we can not allow this to go on. We have begun air strikes on the effected areas avoiding after warning most of the civilians and telling them to leave.

[Topkekkia]

Somalia
The Fengese forces landed in Somalia following their pass through Topkekkian waters on their way out. It was surprising enough that this was even happening at all, let alone the fact that the Feng had hired a Topkekkian general to do it. Regardless, they were near the Kenyan border, and preparing to march into the nation of Kenya. Alongside the troops were humanitarian workers, seeking to expand the quality of life in the new colonies, and ruthless businessmen from all across Feng, looking to take advantage of untapped pools of manpower and material.

[The Third Empire of France]

French Africa
Mauritania, Mali, and Niger have surrendered and have been annexed. Like we are doing in Algeria, We are now working on improving the quality of life for the people while working on letting big companies and the government be able to use the plethora of resources in the area. A large majority of the people are acceptance of the new french rule as they know their lives will now improve and they have more rights and freedoms. Some military is staying behind for peacekeeping and to help build infrastructure. The rest are moving towards Chad, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and guinea. We have captured the hearts of the French people. After subjecting them to our cause of improving the quality of life in our African territory many people are coming to volunteer in setting up infrastructure in French Africa and others are donating.
Algeria
With our air superiority we have defeated the rebels. Some people think we have not defeated them fully yet and they are in hiding but we know we have forced them into submission as well as appealed to their common sense by telling them that life under the French Empire is far better then under whatever dictator they had before.
North Portugal
The boat drifted up onto the shore in the dead of the night. They droped off the supplies giving them to the men hired by France.
Croatia
The boat drifted up onto the shore in the dead of the night. They droped off the supplies giving them to the men hired by France.

We have begin to develop planes capable of carrying large amounts of cargo to replace transport ships.

[Schwarzaria]

Reykyavik
Schwarzan, Icelandic and Greenlandic government officials have met in Reykyavik to negotiate establishment of Reichskommisariat Ferne Norden. Atmosphere of this meeting was very cheerful, people of Iceland and Greenland were happy to see nordic union rise from the ashes.
Schwarzaria, now united the nordic lands, will consolidate the integrated land. Integrated land will now be developed by Schwarzan multibilion corporations.

Algeria
The truck ambled across the border, carrying a number of refrigerators. Aside from being energy efficient and likely to sell well, the appliances were quite unique. Within the compartments of each was contained weaponry of all sorts; everything from the standard Topkekkian SCAR-H to dangerous explosives. Ammunition, nerve gas, FIM-92 Stinger missiles, radio equipment, all the things one needed to run a successful rebellion against a severely weakened French government. Asif Hakim was waiting to meet this truck about twenty kilometers away from the border for the pickup at a distribution center, where he would take advantage of his men's positions at this area to unload the supplies upon meeting with Casimir, the Order's current agent for the mission, who didn't want to go anywhere near a desert after Dubai, but orders were orders, and he was bound to follow them.

Schwarzan forces in Africa!
Our ships blockaded ports of Lagos, Calabar and Duala, while our government sent an ultimatum to Cameroon and Nigeria, they are going to form Mittel Afrika - the Schwarzan overseas territory in Africa.
Schwarzan navy haven't fire a single shot on the Nigerian and Cameroonian forces. African governments have 24 hours to accept or decline the ultimatum.

[The Third Empire of France]

The French government has found out about many infamous smugglers in Algeria. We are working on tracking them down as we believe they are responsible for the heavily armed rebels that we crushed again due to our air superiority.

Chad, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and guinea have been invaded. We have given them the ultimatum of surrender and be annexed or be completely destroyed. We have given them 24 hours. The only combat so far was at the boarders.

It is becoming clear that the Anglo-Justinian war will not end anytime soon unless all nations involved and those not involved work together find a solution for the war . To that end we would like to invite the leaders to Constantinople to help negotiate a peace treaty between the nations involved in the war .

Algeria
The arms continued to flow into the nation. This time, they were delivered quite differently. The rebels had managed to seize a town near the Libyan border and hold it, despite the French air superiority, due to the fact that it was so rural, it didn't appear on the maps. The plane flew in and out of a grassy strip of land constructed nearby, delivering different things each time; rifles, chemical weapons, armor, and shoulder mounted anti-aircraft missiles, the fire and forget missiles that any soldier with half a brain could dope out. The instructions for them were to lay low for now, building up the area and fortifying it while arms flew in and out. The most recent package, however, was a unique one. Five men from the OAR had arrived, ready to stealthily destroy french armaments from behind their lines. Casimir, finally off of smuggling detail, having been replaced on that front by another crew. He would finally be able to work in a way that allowed him to use his skills properly. It may have been the desert, but at least it wasn't driving a semi through the Sahara constantly.

[The Third Empire of France]

"Have you found anything?"
"Yes sir. It seems from the most recent revolt they were useing a standard topkekkian rifle. Could this mean something?"
"Perhaps, let's not accuse topkekkia just yet though we can not discredit the possibility. Anything else?"
"We have strong suspicion that an infamous Algerian smuggler named Casimir is the man getting these weapons in. His wear abouts are unknown as of right now. We also believe that they are coming in through Libya because we have complete control of the northern coast and I doubt Spain would let this happen."
"Alright, get Libya to give us military access, then I want that boarder patrolled and searched from top to bottom. Use air to be quick but just in case they miss something we'll have ground forces investigate aswell. Use tanks and armored transports for ground solders. Search anything suspicious. Leave no spec of sand unchecked."
"Yes sir, you do realize this might take some time right?"
"Yes I do"

Chad, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and guinea have agreed to the ultimatum and have surrendered and been annexed. We have began to do the same here as we have done with the other African nations we have annexed.

[Topkekkia]

Zaratine, Algeria
Casimir peered through the scope on his rifle. The night sky let him see clearly through his thermal scope at the guards as he waited for the signal from the rebels. The town was a relatively valuable target, having deposits of crude oil and other such materials, which the rebels could use to fund their operations.
"Fire," came the voice through the radio clipped to his shoulder. The bullet silently flew through the air, dropping one guard to the ground clutching a wound in his neck. As the other guard turned to look at this, another round flew out, puncturing the other man's heart and lungs. The trucks rolled into the city, the mounted guns on the backs ringing out, heralding the arrival of a new ruler.
OOC: Should we turn this mess in Algeria into another RP?
