The First Afrianna-Nahmeighn War (Semi Open)

[Afrianna]

Rhodesia bush country, The Republic of Afrianna
Capt. Rob Rheinhart of the Selous Scouts checked his intel one last time, the village below looked peaceful enough but the kopher scum always hid in the most peaceful villages. 20 years of guerrilla war in the bush had taught the man many bitter lessons. the first to never underestimate the ways of his enemy and to treat every black village like an armed camp. Most blacks weren't to be trusted even those in the regular infantry divisions were questionable. with that in mind he and his men mounted their 6 Raptor assault trucks, purchased off the black market as most western nations had stopped selling to his nation now just the english, russians and the jews could be relied on for arms. the .50 cal machine guns, mk-19 grenade launchers, m-240b's and personal weapons all chambered and ready for action. the raid went like many others light resistance meet by overwhelming fire power the targets rounded up and placed in the bed of the trucks, then it happened Capt. Rheinharts report would state small arms fire from a second floor window most likely children throwing rocks, and all hell broke loose the troopers on the heavy weapons opened fire indiscriminately troopers broke down doors with in hours the village was on fire and the people dead a village of 549 souls destroyed. not the first and not the last.

"Welcome and thank you for coming today. I have asked you all here to discuss the ongoing situation in the Republic of Afrianna. The recent reports that the Afriannian Military has been slaughtering rural villages and the past reports of the brutal means which the military has used to suppress mass uprisings by minority groups in the cities have brought the world past a point of no return.
I am here to issue an Ultimatum to the Government of the Republic of Afrianna. They have two weeks to either open their boarders to a force of international peace keepers and to agree to a process of mediated political reforms or they will face the results of an armed invasion by the Republic of Nahmeighn which has a force of over half a million men ready to attack.
Announced the Prime Minister of Nahmeighn Raul Lindermen.

[Afrianna]

Associated Press: Prime Minister of Afrianna Peter McAleese, has announced a press conference later today following allegations leveled at his nation by Prime Minister of Nahmeighn Raul Lindermen.

Governmental retreat, State of Rhodesia, Republic of Afrianna
"Ladies and Gentleman of the press, Yesterday Prime Minister of Nahmeighn Raul Lindermen, felt the need to lay down an ultimatum of forced political change to our democratic nation. Let that sink in a foreign power, with a record of unprovoked attacks on neighboring countries, has demanded our free and independent nation adhere to their wishes! I and the rest of the government of Afrianna refuse your request! We have the right to defend our selves and our people from terrorist, and foreign aggressors, and we will defend our nation and people from any and all aggressors. If the Nahmeighn government chooses to react with force they will be meet with the full force of Afrianna's military our soldiers black and white will fight together to repel these foreign invaders, and protect our people from the terrorist who it is know believed receive funding and training from Nahmeighn. As I have stated an invasion will be meet with the full force of our military nothing will be held back no weapon off the table." PM McAleese stopped and took a sip of water before continuing his speach "Since the Government of Nahmeighn, has trained, enabled, and equipped the terrorist who have targeted our people it has been decided, that we will be returning the terrorist currently in custody to Nahmeighn. Let them deal with this terrorist threat they have created, and show the world they are not just creating problems to sweep in and allegedly fix."

Nahmeighn might want to remember we too have a military and our military is huge, and it works!

The Foreign Ministry, Vancouver, Empire of Maddox
"Minister Eddly and Ambassador Mittchum I am so glad you are able to see us today. Nahmeighn Ambassador to Maddox Albert J. Rawlings remarked as he and the Nahmeighn Military Attache to Maddox Brigadier General Nathan Landover walked in to the large conference room where they would meet with there counterparts.
" gentlemen as I'm sure you know the other day our government issued an ultimatum to the Government of the Republic of Afrianna over their recent actions in dealing upraisings by certain oppressed citizen groups. We gave then two weeks to either accept the presence of a multinational peacekeeping force and forced governmental reforms or face a full scale military invasion.
we are here to ask for the public support of the Empire of Maddox in our attempts to free the oppressed peoples of Afrianna.

[Madox]

Ambassador Rawlings and General Landover it is amazing to have you gentlemen here in our beautiful Capital. Our government too is concerned about the current state of affairs in Afrianna. However the Holy Empire can not endorse and armed invasion of the Republic of Afrianna. We do feel that it would be best for a group of inspectors to be sent to Afrianna to observe the ongoing situation there. If the inspectors find that a peacekeeping mission is necessary we can then assemble one

[Finnian Bastada]

Ministry of Defense Armed Republic of Finnian Bastada, Portland Oregon
"And with this deal, our allied nations in the Confederation of Celtic nations will be able to stand against English aggression longer allowing more Finnian Soldiers and airman to be based here at home." Explained Minister of Defense Col. James Patrick Ryan (ret.)
"Sir, would you like to comment on the Nahmeighn Afrianna situation?" asked a attractive blond from FNN
"I knew one of you wouldnt be able to control your self, Prime Minister Collins and I spoke yesterday, he has dispatched a member of our embassy in Nahmeighn with an offical reminder that our mutual defense pact is exactly that a mutual DEFENSE pact, the agreement specifically states that any act of aggression negates the responsibility of the other parties. We value our allies however advise them to step away from the brinkmanship and act as responsible countries do. If Nahmeighn insists on carrying out a war of aggression it is the government of the Finnian Republic's stance that they will fight such a war with out any finnian assistance both in man power and material support. That being said the government does believe that Afrianna has acted terribly and would support a multinational inspection team." Replied minister of defense Ryan

Finnian Bastada Embassy, Manaus Republic of Nahmeighn
George Smith, looked up from his paperwork as secretary Northcut interrupted his busy schedule. Listened to his proclamation and thought before replying. “So secretary Northgate, your country has stuck your dick in something you shouldn’t have and you come in here making demands? If Afrianna has brought a boat load of terrorist to your country why not use these men to gain intelligence? After all your nation is claiming that Afrianna is oppressing it’s minority’s not fighting a terrorist war against terrorist they claim you’ve supplied and trained. If you hold the moral high ground accept these terrorist and ask for more. As for an inspection of Afrianna we will send inspectors however we have no desire to get drawn further into this disagreement.”

Dear Afrianna
While you claim to have equal rights, our sources have detected several examples of brutality against minority held villages, which effectively could amount to war crimes or indeed genocide.
Yours, President Tigros

Meanwhile in Cabinet
Sarah Johnson MoD rises from her seat, presenting a large map of Afrianna along with two large files. Around the table is the Defence Council of the President, Deputy President, MoD leaders, the Foreign and Home Secretarys, and several field, sea and air marshals. "We propose a rapid group of heavy transport helicopters approach Afrianna, dropping supplies and weapons to those villages in Rhodesia which are under attack. The Deputy President has called for a expeditionary force to join the supplies, but the Council has voted against it. Instead we will be sending a helicopter carrier along with a missile destroyer, a frigate and two corvettes. Our military has the superior firepower if engaged, but we hope the situation will not come to this. Naval ships will not engage unless attacked, and Afrianna will be notified of the carrier group's entry. However they will be told we are simply dropping humanitarian aid."


TNS Endurance leaves Tobiasia

[Condottieri International]

“Typically where we get into problems is Afrianna’s handling of ‘terrorist’ controlled villages. They are at the point where they are trying to ‘exile’ them in Nahmeighn. They believe Nahmeighn is behind the insurgency. The crisis inches toward the point of no return.” Sean Lockhart presented to Amadou de Duala. “I wouldn’t of shown you this if there wasn’t a way Condottieri International could profit from this. Afrianna’s trade has been cutoff for a while now.”

“You want to sell them weapons.” Amadou surmised. ”That could blockade us from leveraging our services to other powers in the region.”
Sean retorted, “I’m former smuggler I’ll make sure that they will be hand me downs, unmarked and cant be traced back to us. If they ask who we are after we settle on price is as their ‘benefactor’. They will be delivered via submarine.” Sean Lockhart then typed an encrypted message in his personal digital phone to the head of Afrianna-“I understand you need arms and new weapon systems for your conflicts. Message me a suitable location to deliver the inventory for you at a rate of 30 million dollar for all of them.”

Amadou paced toward a window outside of he could observe the hustle of White Rose City from the 20th story. It was night and lights glowed like the scattering of diamonds on black velvet. He let Lockhart leave to his assignment, knowing he was ordering a few contractors to go in his place. and summoned his secretary. He wanted a message passed on to the relevant world leaders with a stake in the crisis: Afrianna, Nahmeighn, Finnian Bastada, Tobiasia, Madox. Condottieri was now opening for business.“To all world leaders in this crisis, I am Commander in Chief Amadou de Duala. In order to make progress in this dark hour, I believe your militaries’ should be strong. We are willing to bolster your militaries with our armed services for about $350 million per month. You will have access to the finest troops and the finest stealth assets. The decision to utilize every strategic advantage I leave to you.”

the convoys of Military equipment seemed to be endless as the men and equipment of the 1st Amphibious corps continued to load aboard the countless navy ships which crowded into to port. The 50+ ships of taskforce 141 have been entering the harbor for days. as each brigade of the 1st Amphibious Corps arrives they parade through the city towards the port where they are embarked onto ships.

[Tobiasia]

Dear Mr Amadou de Duala
We are confused to how you expect us to believe you will supply us when your nation of origin does not feature on your letter. Nevertheless, we do not care as to how you came across these arms, because we do not wish to purchase them. Our armed forces are supplied by the very best domestic and international companies like Tobiasia Aerospace, Ikuran Defence Dynamics, Toport Shipyards, Hex Defence and Valkiiri Defence Exports. We do not need your support.
Yours, General Alison Bloom

[Condottieri International]

“General Alison Bloom, we are Condottieri and we too are a nation, just a privately owned one. This is the source of our arms… we contract domestic companies to produce them ourselves. I do not doubt the grade of arms of your nation. We do not offer just arms but soldiers to put into harm’s way instead of your own. We save our clients anguish should the scales tip toward war. Think of us as insurance… a professional one at that. I hope we can meet on the battlefield as allies but should wrong nation call we might end up enemies. It will an honor to meet you on battlefield regardless. I implore you to rethink your position and share this with your allies.”-Amadou de Duala on an encrypted channel to Tobiasia.

General Williams meet President Reid-Daly as a force of Merkava MK 4M's and Namer IFV's rolled by "Mr. President the Regulars are ready for call up our territorials and reserves could use some more work." announced Gen. Williams commander of the 1st Shock army
"Good General, and our airforce and army aviation are they ready to face what ever may come our way?" Asked the president of Afrianna
"Yes, the updated SU-25SM's performed as expected, our fighters fought well the Eurofighter's have proved their own worth. and our Denel Rooivalk's and the Mi-28's have performed beyond all expectations." answered the General. "now if our comrades in the strategic artillery forces and navy could just persuade these foreigners from putting their noses in our business that would be amazing."
"Agreed general, but it is my fear that these nations will use our internal security issues against us as an excuse to steal our resources." replied the president

Naval Base Simon's Town
Prime minister Linderman stood on the pier with 4 of Afriannas newest Amur class submarines in the background.
"Today our nations faces threats from across the globe, the Nation of Tobiasia has sent a naval battle group to our nation. Nahmeighn has threatened war. So today I and the president have visited our Defense forces our troops are at their highest level of preparedness, out strategic artillery forces have run countless drills and our strategic missile defense forces have full integrated their new S-400 missile systems into our air defense system giving our nation the ability to destroy inbound ballistic missiles. Our Navy while small is perfectly capable of defending our coast line, these Amur class submarines are able to silently attack surface vessels and enemy submarines with torpedoes, anti shipping missiles and cruise missiles." taking a slight pause, PM Linderman looked directly into the camera " To the aggressor nations of Nahmeighn and Tobiasia the nation of Afrianna will accept international inspectors of a neutral nation perhaps those of the Finnian Republic or Madox, even inspectors from Nahmeighn and Tobiasia so we can put to rest these false stories of genocide and war crimes perpetuated by nations who's goal is the militaristic conquest of our nation for their own financial gain. These inspectors will be unarmed and escorted but will be allowed to investigate these false claims at any but our most sensitive military sites, for obvious reasons inspectors will not be allowed onto military bases. the Flip side of this coin is any and all violations of our territorial waters, our airspace or land will result in the offending vessel, aircraft or personal being attacked with out warning and the offending nation to be held accountable for their actions."

Five TA91-4 ‘Trident’ aircraft flew in formation over the Tobiasian carrier group, their undersea scanners working to find submarines in the waters. Admiral Albert Zadson of the 4th Fleet strode around his helicopter carrier, which acted as his flagship when his usual ship, the TNS Mary Fierson, was stationed at home. “We believe submarines to be in these waters but we cannot be sure. I want all ships to be pulled out of Afriannan waters and into international zones. I have sent a message to Toport Naval Command requesting more depth charges for the ships, particularly the corvettes, which should arrive tommorow. Meanwhile, I want to send 3 unarmed TA-60 transports with a TA-90 refuelled supporting them, all the way from Tobiasia City, to drop non-weapons supplies into Rhodesian areas. I hope this will go without issue, but ready the missile launchers on the destroyers and I want my 3 attack submarines to join the fleet here.”

A platoon of Rangers greated the aircraft at the end of the runway, 4 raptor assault trucks armed with a mix of .50 cal machine guns and mk.19 grenade launchers aimed at the 4 cargo aircraft. A voice came from a loud speaker “attention tobiasian aircrews, you are to turn off your engines, exit your aircraft and submit yourself to be detained. You illegally entered Afrianna’s airspace with no warning. I suggest you follow directions as failure to do so will only result in your deaths.” 16 rangers of white and black decent walked towards the aircraft their guns drawn waiting to find out the aircrews response.
