General Thad Greenville
He was looking over the battle plans. Sevevill had been grouping up for a full scale invasion. He saw this as a opportunity for them and the GRA to re-bond and start taking what they wanted. More mass. Make their nations large and powerful. Keep their foothold and flex their milatarian muscles.
"Mr. President. I see this a invaluable opportunity to strengthen the bonds with our counterparts in the CDU and GRA. Along with giving ourselves a meeting point should this war proceed. Our milatary combined with that of the GRA would make fighting easy as soon as we get a proper foothold. We have more than enough good men who have seen combat..." He was inturpted by the ringing of a phone.
President Joseph Henry, War Room
He picked up a phone that was being given to him by a Aide.
"Hello, President Joseph Henry Speaking"
ONS Midnight Sun, 4th Oceanic Armada
High Admiral Bob Smith sighed. He had been given orders not to fire first, and it was clear that the Sevevillians were going to engage if the fleet didn't withdraw. So he decided to do the only thing that he could to avoid the Armada's annihilation: retreat.
"Understood. I have ordered all vessels to decrease their speed and initiate a 180-degree turn. Over and out."
As the Oceanic vessels began turning to head back the way they came, the High Admiral noticed something odd. One of the vessels, a civilian oil tanker, had not slowed down or begun turning. Smith frowned. Maybe they didn't get the order, he thought to himself, as he began instructing the radioman to inform the vessel of it's new orders. Before he could finish, the radio erupted.
"Mayday, mayday, this is the captain of the S.S. Engberg! We have a major electrical fire on the bridge, controls are not functioning! I repeat, controls are not functioning! We are evacuating the vessel!"
The radio went silent, and Smith grabbed a pair of binoculars. He could see the tanker, still going ahead at full speed towards the port, and crew members running to a lifeboat on the ship. They got in, and ejected from the tanker, which continued forward, smoke billowing out of the bridge. The lifeboat made it to a guided missile destroyer, after which it was hauled on to the ship, which then went full speed ahead, to rejoin the fleet. Admiral Smith frowned, wondering what had just happened. Anyways, it wasn't their problem anymore; the Sevevillians had ordered them to leave. Little did he know, this had been the backup plan all along.
Grand Senate, Entropia, Oceania
"President Henry, I have a proposal to make. I'd ask you to drop the unilateral and unfounded embargo on the UCSO. In return, I would be happy to organize a meeting between you, and the newly elected President of September Island, regarding potential economic opportunities on the island."
President Joseph Henry
"We do not agree with the new September Island. The founding of the new island is against..." He trailed off as a officer leaned over,
"Sir a oil tanker part of the situation has just been sent into the port city of New Connaria. It exploded although casualties are still unknown. What would you like me to do." Joseph henry looked at his head general who nodded as he had also been told the same thing.
"Ring Arcadia have them on the line as soon as possible. We will need to get the gears moving. Ready any soldiers you can and start setting up a draft."
"Very well sir"
He turned back to the phone in his hand and uncovered the receiver. "I see no reason to continue conversation with our enemies. I dont want anything form the September Islands and will get to that when the time arises. Now if you will excuse me I have important things to take care of." He hung up the phone.
"Your getting your war Thad. Use it wisely. Take whatever branches you need and call on the Arcadians for help. Make sure you win this." With that he stood up and brushed off his suit. He would be watching his large army step from the coasts of the southern bloc for the first time since the emperors. He knew it would be a war that killed many but he was prepared for they had killed Sevillian Civilians out of a unforsaken greed.
General Thad Greenvill.
"Get the Arcadians and the CDU and tell them to start preparing for war. Sevevill has been attacked while I get the soldiers sorted. We have every resource in our hands. The Empires armed forces are all up for grabs here. lets get a plan layed out with the Arcadians before we do anything though."
