The War for America (Xanadarian-Gagium War) (PMT) (IC)

[Xanadaria]

It's a dark day for the nation of Exodia. Just last night, the Aureumterran forces succeeded in securing the remaining Exodian territory. With their nation utterly wiped from the map, Xanadaria has set its sights on its final enemy: the nation of Gagium. The Emperor himself has declared them a vile stain upon the world, and aims to utterly vanquish them. Already, the Xanadarian fleets are moving into position to wipe them out once and for all, and to reclaim territory that rightfully belongs to the Empire of Xanadaria...

HMS Vincent - Alfred il Xanadaria:

They were ready.

Hundreds of vessels sailed at Vincent's back, sliding across the waves to the state of Louisiana. This is where Xanadaria would start their invasion, decimating the Gagium naval power and pushing in-land, where they would retake their beloved country, bit by bit. With their allies soon to arrive, nothing would stop the Xanadarian Empire. They'd proven to be more than a match for Gagium in the previous war, so Alfred very much doubted they'd put up much up of a fight. He expected a surrender before the end of the day.

"All units, this is Alfred il Xanadaria. Maintain this speed, keep AA guns locked and ready, and put the minesweepers at the front. I won't have any nasty surprises."

[Aureumterra]

Exodia
All Exodian flags were being burned. NCC was converted into a colonial capital and the capital building was now one of the Emperor’s palaces. Aureumterra was rejoicing the capture of brand new land. The empire was now an ultimate power. Millions of Aureumterrese troops were moved to Exodia, and all dissent was silenced. Rumors persisted that Shang was still alive, and the government and part of its military existed somewhere, but they were largely ignored. The Emperor decided that the best way to integrate Exodia into the empire was to see their leader, as he was going to make a public appearance there.

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

Somewhere off the coast of Louisiana, 200 nautical miles Southeast of the Xandarian fleet

A tiny contingency of 2 amphibious assault ships, escorted by 4 destroyers and 2 assault submarines, alongside 5 modernized PT boats and 5 midget submarines, sailed towards the lines of cold Xandarian hearts and steel. They had been on a patrol around the coast of Mexico, guarding the Exodian refugees and resistance tucked somewhere there, but now, they were the only force between one of their strongest allies and their most malevolent enemies.

Lieutenant Commander Ali’s heart hammered away in his chest as he gave his order. If the Xandarians decided to fight them, it would surely delay them, but he, his men, and his group of ships would undoubtedly burn fighting like hell.

With that, he turned to the bridge of the ESS Rebellious, the perfectly-named ship he had captained since he reached his rank, and relayed an urgent message to New Orleans.

ESS Rebellious to Gagium Naval Command:
Prepare all defenses you have.
The Xandarian fleet isn’t finished with their streak of murder on innocents, and they are now sailing en masse to your coasts.
We’re trying to deter them for as long as we can.
Pray for us.

Less than 18 nautical miles away from the Xandarian fleet

Lieutenant Coltan’s blood had rushed almost twice as fast as his commander’s.
A “Black Dragon” of the now-broken Exodian Air Force, he had always wished for the chance to fly for the nation that had protected him since his birth. He’d honed his skills to the point where he thought he could best any ace in history, had he been given equal equipment to them.
He never expected anything like this to happen.

Coltan pushed the thoughts of reluctance from his mind, as he shoved his A-7 Cherubim surface-attack jet into full speed. He wanted to be on every Xandarian radar, but still out of range of any missiles or guns.

He cleared his throat and tried to keep his voice from breaking or stuttering.

His hand trembling, he opened a live radio channel straight to the HMS Vincent.

“Lieutenant Jimmy Coltan of the Exodian Air Force, Special Forces. Requesting direct link to Alfred il Xandaria, as urgently as possible.
I have a 12-kiloton thermonuclear weapon aboard my aircraft, fitted with a fuze that will detonate should you open fire. Should that fail, I am more than willing to detonate it myself.”

[Gagium]

Commonwealth of Louisiana, Gagium
The entirety of the Gagium navy was in Port New Orleans, situated off the Mississippi river and still recovering from the just-ended Caribbean wars (Although one could argue that the Xanadarian-Gagium war was just a continuation of it). The mostly swampy terrain along the coast of Gagium would give any landing forces some trouble alone, but the Gagium monarchy had ordered for coastal guns, kinetic and laser, to be constructed along the coast some days after Gagium declared war on Aureumterra.

Inland, nearly a half of the Gagium airforce was massed at several airbases to intercept any fighters. They would fight until the last fighter is downed under the banner of Gagium to prevent their homeland from being occupied by any foreign powers, especially the Jupiter Pact and their allies.

The Gagium army was rapidly being mobilized to the border of Xanadaria and the ocean. Every division available was rendered combat-ready and rushed towards their designated locations, where they would take up arms against the Xanadarian army and their allies to defend their homeland, and fortify. Significantly more forces were placed along the eastern border and the border of Texas than along the Western border, providing that the more difficult terrain would assist in the defense of Gagium.

Anti-aircraft guns and equipment were being set up around major population centers as fast as the Gagium government and army could manage, with dis-used factories being commissioned for military production of defense armaments.

Gagium High Command, unknown location
The Exodian message was quickly relayed from the military office in New Orleans to the High Command, where a group of generals and officers urgently wrote a reply and sent it, non-encrypted, to Exodia.

Gagium High Command
ENCRPYTION LEVEL: 0

Make sure to give them hell. Our airforce will provide support for your forces, and should they get too close for comfort, our missile systems (Non-nuclear of course) will give their fleet hell. We won't be surrendering anytime soon, we can guarantee them that. However, we don't know how long we can hold them off, as they seem to be uncomfortable destroying a country with several times less population than them alone.

GAGIUM TROOP MOVEMENTS - FOR HIGH COMMAND ONLY, DECRYPT WITH PROVIDED DECRYPTION METHODS

The Skies of Louisiana
At once, nearly 50 bombers took off from Alexandria AFB, steadily climbing to 15 miles above the surface. Onboard the bombers were 'smart' cluster bombs, which would be targeted at the Xanadarian vessels and fleet. Meanwhile, 75 fighters flew up from several other airbases in Louisiana to escort the 50 bombers.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

/tag. Will post later.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

BREAKING NEWS: The Pan-Asiatic States Armed Forces have begun mobilizing against the Gagium pigdog-oppressors! Glory to our ally, Xanadaria!

As the Declaration of War quickly passed through Congress, Pan-Asiatic States Armed Forces (P.A.S.A.F) began mobilizing across strategic sectors in the American continent. The Airforce scrambled at around 2100 Hours, as Long-Range Stealth Bombers cleared a direct path for Pollisco-A19 Airlift Carriers to establish a military presence and secure a supply route through Xanadarian territory. The 13th Infantry Battalion and the 9th Artillery Regiment began mobilizing, as Asiatic-Gagium skirmishes began to decimate the militaries of both sides. Within two days, the frontier began to fall; but luckily, a stalemate was snatched from the jaws of defeat.


The Ministry of Defense saw it opportune to deploy some of the State's experimental weapons. Gagium Tanks far outmatched more inferior, Asiatic ones. Thus, "Gun-Ru" Type 81 Sentinels- autonomously armored 5.67 Meter-tall manually piloted robots were deployed to back the PASAF.

Despite some manufacturing defects, the 80 models deployed showed a 83.98% victory rate. The even terrain of the Americas made the Sentinels easier to operate, and ideal for the situation at hand. However, vulnerability from the sky was still a major factor. The Navy has begun deploying intercepting fighters along the coastline to provide a window of support. Nevertheless, another shipment of Sentinels are expected to arrive within the next coming weeks.

[Xanadaria]

Ooc: Exodia, careful how you write your posts in the future. My fleet is coming from the south-west, so you'd be north-west of me.

MS VINCENT - Alfred il Xanadaria

Alfred crossed his arms at the oncoming threats before him. A small fleet sat before him, the remnants of the Exodian armies. A fleet so puny, the flagship alone would be enough to devastate them.

However, they had a situation to deal with. Some mad pilot, intent on nuking his fleet. Never mind the fact that such a move with such a pathetic missile would barely dent his fleet, let alone the fact it would contaminate the oceans that HIS OWN PEOPLE were most likely using. Still, he’d rather not lose a few ships before the battle had even begun.

“Is it ready?” Alfred asked his helmsman, to which he nodded.

“Aye sir. We’re not fighting Siberai this time, so it should be more than powerful enough to stop any nuclear weaponry.”

“Very good. Prepare the Missile Diffusion Net. I’ll keep him talking.”

The helmsman ran off to make preparations, as Alfred answered the man on the radio.

“Lieutenant Jimmy Coltan, this Alfred il Xanadaria, High General of the Xanadarian armies. As we speak, the Xanadarian Space Station is scanning the landscape, looking for any pockets of Exodian survivors. If we find them, we shall obliterate them. If we don’t, we will assume they are hiding with your allies and reduce them all to rubble. However, if you turn back now we shall spare any Exodian citizens in the coming conflict.

“I will remind you that by firing this nuclear missile, you will invoke the wrath of many nations on the international stage for potentially poisoning our oceans for centuries to come. Oceans used by Xanadaria… and Gagium. You’d doom your allies to death. And I doubt you want the last thought in your mind to be the truth that you brought destruction to your people.”

Xanadarian Space Station

“No sign of Exodian survivors yet,” one of the pilots announced, launching scans across the entirety of the continent. They’d have to analyse each area, bit by bit. That would take a great deal of time. For the time being however, they had a few interesting targets on their scopes.

“Let’s wipe out the remainder of the Exodian fleet. No need to let our fleets waste time with them. Prepare Kinetic Rods and target their command ship. Sink it.”

Xanadarian Borders

For the time being, the Xanadarians weren’t going to attempt a land invasion of the Gagium territories. They would no doubt have superiority in numbers, but the defences placed by the Gagiums would slow them and cause heavier casualties than they would like. They would await assistance from their allies before pushing onward.

For the moment, standard defences were deployed. AA guns, turrets and artillery pieces. The borders were fortified and a large bulk of the army deployed to defend them. Gagium would not likely attack them. They were defending, they didn’t have the men to spare to launch a counter-attack.

Xanadarian Territory – HEIM Valkarie MBP

“Thank you for the assistance Siberai,” one of the naval vessels sent a message to their former enemy, “can you help us by targeting Gagium forces in Louisiana? Just blast the hell out of them.”

Xandarian Fleet

“I urge you, believe me. I don’t care about how many nations will come after us- we won’t be surprised. We’ve made many enemies since the foundation of our people, and we will not stand by and surrender. We’d rather be massacred by the dozens than to bow down to evil- I’m assuming that Auremterra is but starting to learn that.
Go ahead and fire on my people. Fire on our refugees and civilians. That’ll only give me more pleasure in killing you. I want you to feel the same sorrow, the same agony you inflicted on us.
But I give you a choice.
You will be spared- if you turn back immediately.”

Coltan flew his A-7 ever closer to the Xandarian ships, seeking out the flagship. Slowly, he opened his bomb bay, revealing an ominous shape. Rather than a missile, it was a simple aerial-dropped bomb, but he was able to detonate the weapon while it was still in the aircraft if needed.

Were the Xandarians to fire now, they might discover the truth later- how they had been mocked and humiliated by a single man, just a half-insane lieutenant performing sky ballet.

He took some pleasure from that, as he flew dangerously low over the ships, aligning himself as nearest as possible to the HMS Vincent.

Somewhere in the South Pacific
Kingstrom Ark

Grandmaster General Shang walked out into the Central Command Room in the naval base-turned refugee colony.

He looked radically different than before- his previous “baby-face” had been ruined with a dark long scar on the side of his left cheek. His hearing loss was compensated with a cybernetic hearing aid.
The most noticeable change was the tungsten-alloy robot prosthetic that had replaced his left forearm.

All were symbols of the horrors he had witnessed- he had to flee for his life the second time when the Auremterrans rained hell on the Federal Chateau.

“Sir! Siberaian fleets invading the Californian coasts. Besides that, we’re seeing a space station in orbit around the Caribbean, not unlike the one we destroyed after Trosta.” a colonel called out.

“We’ll deal with the Siberaians later- they don’t know we’re here. They’re probably targeting the Revelation 2 station. Is it in range of the Morning Stars we’ve planted with us?”

“I assume so. They seem to also be falling for the nuclear threat- in all honesty, I never expected them to.”

Shang sighed.

“Godspeed, Ali. Make them pay.
All of them.”

[Gagium]

Eastern Border of Gagium
Within a day, a large portion of the Gagium army had taken up defensive positions in strategic locations and border towns along the border, and extensive fortification construction began. The sudden Pan-Asiatic offensive took some Gagium garrisons by surprise, and some Gagiumish battalions took large amounts of losses while constructing fortifications. However, reinforcements from the rest of the mobilizing brigades were able to turn the situation into a stalemate where the skirmishes were occurring. Construction of pillboxes and other fortifications were placed, and all freeways and primary roads heading into Xanadaria were also heavily fortified, and closed in all instances.

Western Border of Gagium
In-depth defenses and several divisions were stationed along the border with Texas, whilst divisions began fortifying the Mountainous border with Xanadaria. The anti-air equipment set up with the fortifications were soon occupied targeting Siberain aircraft, while other aircraft mobilized from several AFBs to intercept them.

Louisiana Commonwealth
The Siberain missiles from their platform were detected and interception missiles were launched within thirty seconds. Meanwhile, extensive preparation and fortification began, with anti-aircraft pieces being distributed to all major population centers and police departments being authorized to use typically stored heavy equipment. Organization of 'militias', largely formed out of the police departments, began, and heavy equipment and fortifications were moved to alongside the Mississippi river.

[Aureumterra]

Gagium
A large Aureumterrese force of many ships and planes were finally landing at New Orleans. A few Aureumterrese soldiers ran out and started firing at all government and military targets. It was a small portion that landed ahead, while the rest of the force stayed back. Within them were agents, who would attempt to break into the royal palace and take the monarchs as hostages. They slipped past the gates and made their way to the entrance to the palace.

[Gagium]

Off the coast of Louisiana, Gagium
"We've got a large Aureumterrese fleet coming towards us, they've got a decent amount of aerial coverage around their fleet and some transports too." A soldier occupied in tracking enemy movements announced"

"Report this to HC immediately!" The sergeant presiding over the radar station ordered. Within a minute, the coastal guns along the Mississippi Delta began unleashing hell on the enemy fleet, and several air wings were dispatched to harass their fleet.

However, the Aureumterrans were able to get dangerously close to New Orleans, and it was reported that a few of them landed in the swampy terrain outside of New Orleans. The 85th battalion, part of the 4th infantry division, was dispatched to drive them out.

Meanwhile, an order was placed out for nearly a fourth of the citizens of New Orleans to evacuate to Baton Rouge, with anti-aircraft guns and regular military patrols along the freeway between the two cities to guarantee the civillians evacuate safely. Among the evacuation, the Royal family was discretely evacuated in an armored vehicle, with two humvees and two motorized anti-aircraft vehicles following the armored vehicle. An air wing of 20 fighters was also dispatched to protect the skies above the corridor.

Above the Xandarian fleet
The 50 bombers, now nearly 15 miles above the Xandarian fleet, unleashed their payloads, and the 'smart' cluster bombs dropped out of their bomber bays, and they began aligning themselves on a trajectory to hit the major Xandarian ships.

[Pan-Asiatic States]

New Orleans, P.A.S.A.F Special Operations Division

The 10th NavSOG Urban Warfare Company rendezvoused with Aureumterrese militants fighting in New Orleans. After collecting military intel on reconnaissance missions to survey the situattion, the 10th report back to High Command. Ten days later, the 101st "Aguila" Airborne Company land on Gagium soil.

The 3rd Artillery Regiment and the 21st Armored Company provided support for the hundreds of Pan-Asiatic Infantry paradropped on several Gagium Anti-Aircraft and Coastal Artillery sites. Phase 2 of Operation Maharlika was now imminent as Long-Range "Sukhoi" Bombers struck at Gagium Airfields, disabling their Air Superiority for a significant amount of time.

The P.A.S Battleship Emilio Aguinaldo now stood mere miles away from the Gagium coast. Aided by Corvettes, the Pan-Asiatic Naval Fleet attempt to mount a blockade to cork supply lines coming into the region.

The Pan-Asiatic States Armed Forces will attempt to starve out the cities before they start a puppy fight.

Task Force Q, consisting of 70,000 men(40,000 Death Korps, 30,000 Iron Guardsmen) boarded Naval Task Force Delta(1 carrier, 4 Escort Carriers, 9 Battlecruisers, 20 destroyers, 10 armed transports, and 30 frigates), and set out for Gagium.

OPERATION DANTE calls for the infiltration of Gagium's remote areas by 250 Inquisitorial Stormtroopers drawn from Inquisitorial Task Force Alpha-1("The Harbingers of His wrath") and Alpha-3("His Right Hand"). They are to cause as much damage to infrastructure as possible and to spread panic and disorder. The 250-man detachment will be divided into 10-man squads, all of which are to be spread out across the rural areas of Gagium. Light gear will be provided.

MGM Grand Antioch, Antioch, Eclius
A young lady, in her early 30s perhaps all dressed in a beautiful light blue dress. Having arrived at one of the biggest casinos in Eclius, she sat in front a poker table. Received her cards, she sipped her strawberry martini gently, while revealing a enigmatic look in her azure blue eyes. Few minutes later, the dealer announced, "full house, Ms. Arcavia wins". She smiled, her martini glass reflected a joyous look on her face. While indulging in her victory of 5 million Eclisian Denarii, her husband walked over, the gentleman of roughly her age placed his hands gently on her shoulders, then whispered in her ears, "my dear, secretary of security and intelligence awaits your presence". She smiled again, having tipped the dealer and redeemed her money, she walked out hurriedly with her husband. "plane is fueled?" she asked, "I thought this was our vacation". "Yes my dear". Outside the casino was the city of Antioch under night sky, a sleepless city that's covered in neon nights, and people cheering for their recent wins.

Hours later...
Arcavia arrived at the headquarter of Office of Foreign Intelligence. The building, or rather, an underground compound that is located in the outskirt of Rome. The lady arrived unwillingly, she rushed to the conference room and poured her a glass of wine, when suddenly, a mysterious voice greeted her, "Greetings, T, how do you like the 20 year old red wine from Prescillian winery?". She smirked, "not bad? So this was meant to be my compensation? Nonetheless, what's going on?". The mysterious figure on the opposite side of the conference table handed her over a tablet, he adjusted his tie a little, then continued to speak with his visage covered by the shadows. "I'm sure you've heard about what's going on in Gagium?", "Gagium?" T responded, she swirled the wine glass, sipped it again, then looked through the briefings on the tablet. "Xanadaria and allies declared aggression against Gagium as of merely hours ago" the mysterious figure continued, "the Department of Foreign Affairs has declared our neutral stance on this conflict such that we will not directly engage any sides. However, Caesaris Tiberia and the Inner Senate indicated that we will support Gagium and allies through ...swallows and ravens". "And you want me to travel to former Exodian territory? Why?" T asked, she sipped the wine again, then continued, "a nation that is now merely a couple of boats, and few politicians like Shang who still thinks they have a chance". "The capital of Exodia after the war is...quite an interesting place. Commanders and birds from all factions have gathered here. Most noticeably, the military officials of Aureumterra that had made significant impact in the capture of Exodia. We believe they will be once again called upon in the final offensive against Gagium. You're to rendezvous with Exodian intelligence in the capital, but keep in mind, the Imperium still has economic trades with Aureumterra, hence, you are to avoid actions unless absolutely necessary"

Next day...
T arrived next day in the what remained to be the former capital of Exodia. Rather unsurprised by the damage, she walked into a cafe, sat beside a gentlemen who she believed to be an Exodian agent, "is the coffee bean good?" she asked.

[Gagium]

Southern Louisiana Commonwealth
The 67th Brigade, which included the 85th battalion, continued in attacking and driving off the Aureumterrese soldiers. The 68th and 69th Brigades were also dispatched to secure New Orleans and make sure no enemies enter the city outskirts. Meanwhile, as Pan-Asiatic troops began capturing several coastal batteries and anti-aircraft positions, the rest of the 4th Division and the 11th Mechanized Division were dispatched to retake these positions, with the 135th Armored Regiment and 405th Artillery Battalion being dispatched to assist the 11th. The 8th Division of the 1st Corps were also ordered to assist the 11th.

A large amount of Gagiumish fighters were dispatched to intercept the Pan-Asiatic bombers, however nearly half of operational airfields were destroyed, leaving large swaths of the Gagiumish militias on repair duty. The airfields that were still operational became crowded.

The Pan-Asiatic blockade was laughed off by Gagium High Command, as it was laughable that they'd attempt to starve out the country of sprawling fields and agriculture. However, this would disrupt Gagium's flow of oil and other supplies, which urgently increased the need to produce stationary defenses.

541st Special Forces Battalion, Missouri Commonwealth
In the cover of night, the 541st Special Forces Battalion, made up of roughly 800 soldiers and some supply vehicles, crossed the Mississippi River via a makeshift bridge which was promptly destroyed after the crossing finished. Their objective was to infiltrate Xandarian territory and cause confusion throughout enemy lines.

DIRECT ORDER FROM HIGH COMMAND: Commence trade with various drug lords and begin production of various drugs, including cocaine,
meth, etc. These are to be strictly secured and guarded, and shall be stored in makeshift underground sheds near the production sites.

[Xanadaria]

HIMS Vincent - Alfred il Xanadaria:

"Sir, looks like some aircraft slipped through the radar scans! Bombs are being dropped!"

Christ, this was a dire situation. The suicidal jet pilot was streaking ever closer to the HMS Vincent, and bombs would soon be falling on their fleet. Thankfully, this all fitted into Alfred's incredible plan.

"All AA guns, target those bombers and blow them out of the sky!" Vincent swiped his arm downwards. With hundreds of ships firing on them, even with the bombers as high as they were, they probably wouldn't get too far. The main situation he had to deal was with the Exodian. If that nuke was fired, it would devastate the Xanadarian fleet. This could not be allowed.

Normally, he'd deploy the Missile Diffusion Net. But now, the Exodian was too close for it to be effective. That left him with only one option: an EMP. At this range, there was no way the Exodian could fire the nuke in time. However, detonating it would temporarily scramble some of his fleet. Not enough to knock it out completely, but he'd no longer be able to deploy the Missile Diffusion Net to stop the Gagium bombers. They'd suffer losses, but this was the only way to escape the trap.

"ACTIVATE EMP!"

A wave of blue spread across the fleet, which would shutdown the oncoming fighter and disable the nuclear device.

Mississippi River:

Whilst the 541st Special Forces Battalion's infantry made it within Xanadarian territory without any problems, the supply vehicles were a different story. Magnetic mines had been placed at certain points around the landscape, which would most likely destroy the bulk of the enemy vehicles.

[Eclius]

Athens, Eclius
Inside the OFI Athens, a young man in suit started to walk around anxiously. For the past few hours, he spent most of the his weekend time looking at his smart watch. Finally, an agent approached to him, and handed over a tablet. "location confirmed, Tharsis" she said, "Having decrypted the signal, it is confirmed that Gagiumish Intelligence wish to meet our representative in Lincoln, Oklahoma. The message was sent with correct security codes". "fuel the jet, prepare the documents, it seems like I'm going to Oklahoma"

Few hours later...
Lincoln County, Oklahoma

After few hours of driving in his shiny Aston Martin DB11, agent Tharsis found himself outside a local pioneers museum, which was determined to be the rendezvous point. Per instruction, he walked towards an old piano placed on display, with his briefcase placed floor left to him. Moments after, he saw someone approaching him, and he greeted, "such a magnificent thing. Hey there, name's Jake, and I believe I'm an old friend to the owner here"

Meanwhile...
Rome, Eclius

Inside the Inner Sanctum, advisors are divided on whether or not to fully declare war against Aureumterra and allies. "Aureumterra has committed quite some atrocities in Exodia" General Macer said, "the Empire is known for his might and technologies. Our autonomous weapon systems are by far unparalleled, and I am confident that we can crush Aureumterra!", "And for what?" said Inner Advisor Thurina, "we have recently declared our stance to be neutral, and more or less, an observer in this conflict until it is absolutely necessary to...", "to intervene", General Lucius interrupted, he looked at General Macer, and continued, "defeating Aureumterra will significantly increase our sphere of influence. Besides, as General Macer stated, with the recently completion of the experiments aimed to create the heavier versions of battle robots, I am confident that our forces will defeat...", "and?" a voice said in the darkness, it was cold, chilling to the spine. From there, everyone went quiet, when suddenly, a figure revealed parts of her face under the dim blue lights. She looked young, at least from her eyes. "declaring war against Aureumterra, for what? Yes, by statistics, we have the money, the technology and every other resources necessary to engage in a full-out war against Aureumterra. Quite frankly, we could win, well, at least against Aureumterra. We could liberate Exodia, and frankly, save the others. Right now their forces are too concentrated on Gagium, yet, they have to make sure that former Exodian territories are under control. By that, I am confident that even if the worst case scenarios were to happen, we would still cause significant damage to Aureumterra and allies, but at the cost of our own lives. The might of the Imperium is not at the disposal of Shang and his pathetic followers, or some other countries. Frankly, Exodia is beyond help now and I am not confident that Gagium can survive this. Side from indirect helps, I am not convinced we should deploy our forces across the seas. Having said that, I believe it's time for some diplomacy. At least for now."

Somewhere in the Pacific
The Throne of Aries, was a Bakunawa-class Warship, the only one of its kind ever produced. It's black figure hovered menacingly over the waters, on which some warships sailed. What looked like legs were wedged forward form the ship's main body, and it kept the massive structure steady. Engines the size of skyscrapers drove the ship forward.

The ship's main body was in itself like a fortress, a floating weapons platform. On it, two experimental, yet currently non-functional Marcos Cannons could devastate cities with a single blast. There were docks, hangars and bays for Pana-class Warships and Maharlika-class Warships. Artillery and all sorts of guns littered the exterior.

At the very top of the main hull, was a large window. The window was strong enough to withstand a ballistic missile, and there was an emergency door that would shut close the window if ever something more threatening came to pass.

On the other side of the window, was a great hall. Marble floors, tall pillars, height ceilings; not really something you'd find in a normal Warship. The banner of Fardhin hung on the very walls, as a throne sat high on the side opposite the window.

On the golden throne, sat a man. He was tall, and rather aged. He was riddled with wrinkles and had white hair. He had fish-like eyes, a sharp nose, and tan skin. He wore a neat goatee and a black suit.

He was Emperor Florentino Fardo.

In front of him, were several holographic monitors. One showed the battles happening on the war, another showed statistics, others showing the ship's readings and several other variables.

Suddenly, another screen had popped up. It showed a rather old woman, though she was considerably younger than the Emperor. She had tan skin, long gray hair, an da hardened face. "Father-

"What have I told you Juanita? On the throne, you will not address me as father, but as Emperor! We've been over this a thousand times!" Fardo scolded her in his deep voice.

"Apologies, your majesty. But has the Pan-Asiatic States not requested your participation in this war? What are we doing? Watching and waiting? We need to get on there!"

The Emperor shook his head. "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Juanita, Juanita; you are old enough, actually very old, to know that I'm doing what is best for the Empire! We cannot simply barge onto the front door of a war an pick a side! We must which benefits us more! Let us see if any of them prop up any deals for our involvement, otherwise, we wait. And if none seem profitable, then we let them destroy each other; and take over when they are weak!"

"But father-

The monitor disappears with the press of a button. Florentino sits and waits, watching the battles continue.

Various Aureumterrese forces rolled across the war zone known as the Great Plains. A group of tanks and attack jeeps was dispatched to make a second blockade right behind the Pan-Asiatic one. The Pan-Asiatic troops were to be given info the Aureumterrese troops come in peace to them, and were to assist them in the blockade. In New Orleans, the defenses took down and crippled many vehicles, and a lot of solidiers lost their lives. However, the planes dropped bombs on the defenses, and kept firing at military targets. Intelligence reports of the Royal Family being in Baton Rouge came, and a group of attack jeeps and one plane were dispatched to capture their motorcade.

541st Special Forces Battalion, Missouri Commonwealth
"Fuck, they goddamn mined this place!' One soldier muttered as a mine went off, destroying a humvee and supply truck. The process of clearing a path with mine detectors for the rest of the vehicles would take a long time, so they sent the vehicles back across the Mississippi, keeping large portions of the supplies in large backpacks.

67th Brigade, New Orleans
"Sir, we've got some enemy vehicles attempting to make their way through the outskirts to either Freeway 10 or the Airport, but either way we're gonna have to intercept them." A sergeant reported to the Colonel.

"Shit..we're gonna have to intercept them..Get our radio company on informing the 69th Brigade, and get them to secure the airport. We could use some APCs from the 11th also..We're going to need a motorcade ASAP to intercept them."

A motorcade consisting of 5 humvees and 3 APCs was dispatched to meet up with military patrol forces along Freeway 10 and block off the Aureumterrese vehicles.

The Great Plains
The 2nd Corps and 13th Mechanized Brigade, along the Eastern border, were busy engaging Pan-Asiatic and Aureumterrese forces trying to break through to the Great Plains. The area was in devastation, as the plains allowed for large armies to engage each other with excellent viewing range. Soldiers defending used the (half destroyed) fields of various crops to their advantage, hiding and waiting for enemy troops to charge.

The Gagiumish agent greeted back while slipping him a document of Gagiumish drug production intel, "Names Christopher, I you're enjoying the museum I take it? Interesting stuff indeed.."

[The Republic of Christiandom]

Under cover of the night, the 250-man detachment began to make it's way into Gagium. They all knew their destinations, and they were more than willing to plant a bomb here or there for some farmer to blow his limbs off on.
"All clear?"
"Yep."
"Allright. Alpha-3, Alpha-1, begin moving in. Give 'em hell."

Operation Dante had begun.

Meanwhile...
Flying Fortress, somewhere above Mediterranean Ocean


Imperatrix Caesaris Tiberia was rather pleased by the results of a multi-billion dollar project aimed to produce flying fortresses. In a way, much of the fortress is a symbol for power than a practical weapon. Suddenly, a secretary approached Caesaris Tiberia, where she received messages from Aureumterra. "Well" Tiberia smiled, "isn't this delightful? Please notify Aureumterrese government, as well as their embassy in Rome that we would much welcome their ambassadors. Also, make arrangements to accommodate, show them the proper Eclisian hospitality. Oh, and arrange for their ambassador to stay at Sapphirius International <a highly luxurious hotel in Rome, Eclius that is open only to foreign dignitaries and billionaires. Rumors say that their amenities were made with precious materials found all over the world. Only highly respected guests are arranged to stay in Sapphirius>."

It would be much our honor to meet with representatives from Aureumterra. Furthermore, we wish, to also condemn the atrocities committed by the administration based on Shang throughout his career as the president of Exodia. We look forward to our meeting.

Fardo's Throneroom in the Throne of Aries
Florentino had watched the battle with interest, and had expected the deals to pop up. A window popped up on the monitor, a letter from Aurumterra, offering alliance.

As he finished reading the letter, there was a slight grin on his face; it was not because he was happy to receive a deal as a businessman, he was amused. In response, he took out a stylus, pulled the holographic monitors towards him, and wrote.

To: Emperor DQ
From: Emperor Florentino Fardo
While I do admit, I have a fondness for empires; of course I would, otherwise I wouldn't have overthrown my democratic government to install my own imperial dynasty; I will let you know I have a slight distrust for foreign Empires. You see, Empires have a tendency to clash; were we to ally ourselves, it will fail later on. Because we are Empires. We want to remake the world for the better, but we all have our own definitions of "better", so of course conflict will happen.

While your message comes with good will, I see the future troubled. If you wish a sturdy alliance, it will require stronger bonds; such as let's say marriage of royals...

I am already good friends with the leader of the Pan-Asiatic States, and it was he in the first place that requested my presence here, so I will take heed of your proposal, and consider it well.

In the meantime, I suggest you listen to my broadcast.


PUBLIC BROADCAST FROM THE FARDHIN EMPEROR
It has come to my attention that there is a war ongoing. An ally has called for my intervention, and some have called for alliance; however, the consequences must be considered. For my people, we will stay a neutral party until a deal proposing clear benefit for the Empire has been made by either side.

What we request most at the moment, is technological support. While we ourselves have advanced quite well, there are... certain projects in need of support.

BROADCAST TO WORLD LEADERS INVOLVED IN THE WAR
If you haven't noticed, I have a massive Warship hovering above the Pacific waters at the moment, The Throne of Aries, the only Bakunawa-class Warship ever produced, not only the largest Warship on the Fardhine Empire, but also largest in the world. While it is indeed, impressive, it is quite heavy to maintain. We need large amounts of Uranium and certain metals to keep it running. Another problem is that it's slow. The next is the Marcos Cannons, two experimental weapons that emit a deadly laser blast with the devastating power of a nuclear bomb, minus the fallout of course, thus being a "clean" weapon that does not violate international laws regarding nuclear weapons. At the moment, they are non-functional, but if say, one of you had the know-how to fix it, we would be eager to take your side. There is also the matter of the ship's propulsion systems, it was meant to be space-capable, but due to certain... problems, it is difficult to manage. Did you know this ship was designed and assembled on Mars? But since we couldn't get it past the atmosphere, we had to disassemble it and reassemble it here piece by piece. Those were decades ago. If any of you have solution, inform me and we may discuss an alliance.
