The Cousins' War [Ended, Closed]

[Sjovenia]

Lavribor Harbor

The ocean lapped gently against the infiltration boat as it quietly made its way towards the coast. The main fleet was miles away but almost within attacking range. The infiltration boat was filled with Special Maritime Operators who had gotten this close to the harbor via submarine. The Lavribor Harbor was a Stravel Port Town but the Anavokyans had occupied the city and planned to use it as an access route to the bay and water front.

The boat quietly and gently beached itself on the coast as the operators got out. Under the blanket of darkness the sailors used Night Vision Goggles to aid in their landfall. The operators made their way quickly and quietly towards their targets. An early warning system and a supply depot. Take out the early warning system and the fleet can get in closer virtually undetected. Destroy the depot and you disrupt supplies, then the main forces would take out the few patrol boats in the harbor. After that Go-3A’s would launch and surprise attack a bomber base located just 20 miles away.

Battle of Levansk, Stravel

Sgt. Emerisk watched as the enemy began to pile up. Mass chaos and a slow down of enemy advance as burning vehicles began to dot the surrounding landscape. Above in the sky Anavokyan fighters began strafing runs. The air became heavy with the sound of a roar as the ground tore open with jet rounds.

Before the AA tracked vehicle could lock on it exploded sending schrapnel in the air. Almost immediately a Slaveškan tanker clambered out of the tracked vehicle screaming in agony as his clothes burned. He flailed for a minute before failing to the ground and attempted to crawl only to roll over and die, his body a charred mess. Sgt. Emerisk tried to not show his disheartened facial expression. Another loud boom and the tank shook, a little bit of spall shot out ricocheting off the ammunition loader inside the tank. Emerisk quickly loaded another round before firing it across the small steppe.

Just as an anavokyan fighter targeted Emerisk’s tank a blurry gray aircraft swooped in and began opening fire. Following behind a dozen more came flying over the Slaveškan ground forces before breaking off to each of their own targets. A dog fight quickly ensued as the Slaveškan AA began to start locking on to aid the Slaveškan Air Force.

Not only did the Ka-35’s show up to take on the bombers and fighters the Ni-10’s zoomed overhead ready to unleash hell on enemy ground forces. With the help of Special Air Squadron Air Combat Controllers the Ni-10s would be able to rain hate with Close Air Support.

[Arcadian States and Commonwealths]

GRA Today: Arcadian Operations begin in the Republic of Stravel and the future of the AAF in Drejveska

Early today the public affairs office for Arcadian Forces in Stravel have announced the beginning of Arcadian operations in the Republic of Stravel. The first Marine patrols have begun to dot the area of operations in addition to Army medical teams providing aid to local civilians. Meanwhile, in Casatolo, a massive partisan debate has erupted in the Congress of Nations between supporters of Arcadian operations in Drejveska and opponents of military operations in the region.

Senator Finn Baader of the Die föderalistisch-Republikanische Partei an outspoken supporter for the continuation of military operations in the region, and a more proactive role in countering continuing bolshevikism in the region. Senator Baader has expressed the desire to continue and expand military operations to "stop the bolsheviks" with a more hands-on policy compared to the Arcadian Empire that withdrew from the region once the United Socialist States of Anavokya fell to a joint AAF-SVAF surge into the former communist state now embroiled in conflict with the rise of a new bolshevik regime.

His supporters are campaigning for the beginning of combat operations to aid the Trekkish and Sjovenian states who are currently engaged with Anavokya, and to keep Arcadian Forces in the region to occupy and rebuild affected by the current conflict.

On the other side of the aisle lead by Representative Clara Häberli of the Le Parti Républicain Progressiste who was a supporter of the late empire to end the 'war on communism' and has denounced it as a 'waste of resources', and a tragic waste of Arcadian life. She has continued to denounce Arcadian military operations in the Drejveska region as a continuation of a failed political operation that has lasted for decades. While she voted in favor for the small peacekeeping detachment that is currently deployed, she has come out to oppose the growing voices of the continuation of combat operations in the region.

While this debate rages no formal bill has been submitted at the time being, and many in the Congress of Nations have stated that a bill for the possibility of military operations in Drejveska will reach the Congress of Nations within the month. The Chancellor's office has yet to make a statement on the debate. Frieherr Munche has expressed 'the hope for peace the prevail in the region, and that being said the option for military intervention[in Anavokya] is not off the table and will be considered if it means that Anavokya will know peace.'

Meanwhile, the Arcadian delegation to the Markion Union has voted in favor of Resolution 003, citing the use of chemical agents of civilian populations are unacceptable calling for a human rights investigation about conduct in the war.

Despite Treko being apart of the Markion Union, it did it's hardest not to be involved in most of its affairs, however, when the matter involves Treko it's a different tune. I don't truly know why the government isn't more involved with MU but one could speculate that it doesn't see eye to eye with them. Nonetheless, I was ordered by acting High-Chancellor Tsvetkov to go to the Markion Union Security Council Meeting and bring up a proposition to the security council. I suppose the proposition could be looked upon with the idea that Treko was trying to save face, maybe, but it was also trying to set the story straight about the Anavokyan war that was still raging. A fellow diplomat by the name of Marie-Claude Chapelle was also there in regards to the war. However, she was there with a resolution to stem the brutality. Brutality? I suppose but those who sympathize and support the ideas of communism only deserve one true end. Though I kept those thoughts to myself when the A&S Diplomat Marie-Claude brought forth Resolution 003. Yet I would not keep quiet about my proposal so I stood up and spoke up after Marie-Claude.

"The United Federation of Treko would like to also bring forth Proposition 001 to the floor. As with Resolution 003, if there is no debate, we would like to proceed with a floor vote.”

Proposition 001
Situation in Anavokya

1. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya has no legitimate claim to the lands and this is merely a Right of conquest
2. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya is forcing De Facto rule over the conquered area
3. Ask that the MU recognize the legitimate governments of the conquered nations
4. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya needs to return to pre-right of conquest borders

This was it. We were about to be in the fucking shit. Comms had been silent since the drive up to the outskirts of Levensk. There was a good reason for it too. My tank brigade was about to spearhead a breakthrough against the commies and we were getting the front row seats to that clusterfuck. I wasn't really worried about my guys nor the Slaveskans, If anything I was worried that the CDP wasn't going put their full fucking weight into the push considering they couldn't handle some commies that came out of a civil war. Personally, I thought we had a good chance at punching hole through commie lines. Yeah, the 6th Tank Brigade was spearheading the breakthrough but that was merely the first echelon. 2nd echelon was the 1st Independent Rifle Regiment, 25th Motor Rifle Brigade, and 3rd Independent Guards Tank Brigade. They would be following close behind and be hitting distracted targets that we didn't hit. Command even allocated the 288th Artillery Brigade, 112th Rocket Brigade, 53rd Anti-Aircraft Rocket Brigade for this shindig. Hell, they even had fucking helicopters on standby just in case it was required. I suppose command didn't want another stalemate on their hands. An understandable reason that wasn't going to occur now... As we got closer to the front the sounds of small arms fire and explosions grew louder. Despite being in the belly of a massive metal behemoth I was still scared but I put a strong face for my loader. His gloved hands were gripping his orthodox cross tightly when I looked over at him. Even while I observed him he did not budge to even look at me.

"Tomaszewski, say a prayer for me as well," I said as I reach around the cannon to touch his shoulder, "We're going to get through this thing. I'll make sure of it but I'm gonna be counting on you. Can I count on you, Tomaszewski?"

Tomaszewski only nodded to me before speaking, "You can count of me, Commander. Just scared that's all."

"That's fine. Even I'm scared so don't worry about it," I said with a reassuring smile as I looked through the optics, "Artillery and rockets are about to hit these commies harder than the chemical attack."

Looking through the optics I watched as Artillery and rockets began to barrage the Anavokyans lines. A grin grew across my face as I watched tons of dirt lift into the air with each artillery and rocket impact. It was a spectacle that did not let up for it was to cover our advance up until the very end. After taking my fill from watching the destruction I hit the comm system in the tank, "Alright, Garin, take us forward into hell," with an immediate response the tank lurched forward towards the enemy positions. Screens displaying the surrounding area showed that other tanks from the 6th brigade were also moving forward and behind us at a distance of 100 meters was the 2nd echelon force. As we neared closer to the Anavokyan lines the artillery and rockets barrages slowly began to dissipate. The response from the enemy was immediate. Small arms fire peppered the tank yet it had no effect whatsoever on our hulking beast. In response, I fired a HE Shell at the direction of the incoming fire before asking for an APFSDS round from Tomaszewski. With haste, Tomaszewski loaded the shell before hopping onto the automated turret to fire at enemy infantry. The fire from the automated HMG could be heard albeit it was muffled due to being outside the tank.

"Shit, enemy tank ahead!" shouted Tomaszewski as he hopped off the automated turret and readied the next round. I watched through the optics as the tall arcadian tank fired directly at us. A muffled explosive countermeasure went off as the shell neared and obliterated the projectile. I let out a sigh of relief before aiming the massive 150mm cannon at the enemy tank and firing. I did not know if the crew was knocked out but our tank continued to push forward nearly running over CDP who realized that the Trekkish army was finally here.

---

The ringing in my ears finally stopped as I peered over the defilade and I watched as large smoke plume was slowly dissipating from where the FOB was. All I could do was grin as I now thought we could get a foothold on this fucking frontline and make some progress. However, fate has a tendency to not give a fuck what you think for Anavokyan reinforcements announced it's arrival with the sounding of a tank cannon. I let out a frustrated sigh as I ducked back down behind the defilade and began messing with my M.U.D. which was now covered in dirt. The drone swarm was still doing its routine patterns to avoid fire as I looked over the number of drones left. In all honesty, it could have been fucking worse but I could work with 65 drones. As our IFVs and APCs exchanged fire with the Anavokyan tanks I watched the battlefield from my drone swarm and looked at any opportunity I could find. Enemy tanks were a top priority but the enemy APCs were also a problem too. They were bringing fresh troops and bringing another level of suppressive fire that would be put on us. I peered over the defilade then quickly ducked behind it again, "Sergeant Nekrasov, I don't believe I got enough drones to inflict major damage on the enemy,"

"Just use what you have because we ain't falling back," Yelled Nekrasov as popped up and fired off a burst at some enemy infantry before ducking behind the defilade, "We only need to hold them off for a few minutes anyway,"

"A few more minutes? Who are we waiting for!?" I shouted back as I took notice that Sergeant Nekrasov was no longer paying attention to me or what I was doing. He was rather focused on directing his squad and fire from the remaining IFVs and APCs. I opened my mouth slightly in an attempt of reaching him again but stopped myself as I turned my focus back towards the M.U.D. Quickly, I began to select individual drones and single out a target for them. More than half the drones were selected to deal with tanks while the remainder we left to deal with enemy APCs. I knew I could not destroy the enemy tanks outright but I could hinder them so they could not advance against us. I made a flight plan for the drones and without hesitation, they shot off low towards the ground before slamming into tracks, rear-engine compartments, and the main cannons. I didn't even watch the success rate of the drones for I was already working on the remaining drone swarm. The last of the drone swarm was made to target infantry disembarking APCs, wheels, and if possible the inside of the APCs. Again, I didn't know the success rate the attack for I was already firing at the disembarking enemy infantry. Uvarov was probably the most important soldier that was firing from that defilade for he was blasting anyone and anything with his 40mm grenade launcher. Each time he fired he let out a slew of curse words followed by some derogatory hand gesture. He was a man that was certainly in his element.

"György, did you use the last of those drones?" shouted Nekrasov as he popped off a few rounds again before looking back towards friendly lines, "Where the hell are they?"

"They? They who? Who are you talking abou," my sentence was cut off as artillery and rockets impacted in front of our positions directed at the enemy forces. I was nearly blown off my feet but thankfully I gathered my footing and hugged the defilade. The artillery and rocket barrage was not letting up one bit. It got to the point that I even had to cover my headphones with my own hands due to the loudness of the explosions going off near us. Slowly but surely the barrage began to die down and I took a moment to collect myself. All I could gather now was that I couldn't hear jack fucking shit. Whilst I fucked with my ears to confirm that I could still hear I felt a rumbling beneath me that worried me but an enthusiastic hand from Uvarov patting on me on the shoulder reassured me, It was friendly armor. The fuckers had sure taken their sweet time getting here but they quickly made their presence known as they fired at the Anavokyan tanks.

(OOC: I don't know enough about espionage to RP it, so I went with this instead)

Zarla Kovort receives a letter from Chancellor Michael K. Davis, Greater Catarapania's head of government.

It reads as follows:

Autarch Kovort:

The nation of Greater Catarapania sends its prayers for your people, who have been unjustly attacked with weapons of mass destruction. We also offer medical supplies and food, if you're willing to accept material aid from capitalists.

Ordinarily, we'd offer more than just relief efforts to victims of a chemical attack. However, there are some... irregularities in the previous regime's actions that we'd need you to address before we'd be willing to offer that kind of assistance.

Of particular concern are the following issues. First and foremost, the aggressive and expansionist nature of your nation's war. We say your nation's war, because your own policies seem to be rather less aggressive. We wish to know this: Can you provide evidence that the people of Anaslovakia, Anapoltania, and Stravel truly wish to escape their oppressors and join the New Liberated Free Nations? And if not, do you intend to "liberate" them against their will?

Even more problematic, if true, are the rumors of ethnic cleansing in occupied regions. Can you provide evidence that either a) this is not and has not been happening, or b) that your regime is taking active measures to prevent further ethnic violence?

Finally, there is the issue of religious liberty. Greater Catarapania isn't particularly concerned about the spread of an atypical economic system, especially not one with notable similarities to that practiced by the earliest adherents of our own semi-official religion. However, adherents of many faiths often suffer extensive persecution under communist rule, and if that will be happening on your watch, I am afraid we will not be able to stand idly by. Can you provide evidence that your regime will commit to the freedom of its people to believe and practice their respective religions?

If our demands are met, we offer you the right hand of friendship, and will happily back your cause. But, we need evidence that your cause is indeed just. Should you fail to meet our demands, relief efforts are still on the table, but... well, let's just say that we have a similar letter already written up, ready to send to High-Chancellor Yaroslav Tsvetkov. If his answers to our questions are better than yours, things may not go well for you. But I pray it will not come to that.

Yours Truly,
-Chancellor Michael K. Davis

[Americae Roma]

Americae Roma Department of Defense Official Communique

The Department of Defense has been closely following the situation and has now decided to intervene on the side of Coalition Defense Pact against the New Liberated Free Nations, Americae Roma is disturbed by the quick spread of Communism in the region, and believes that the spread of this pernicious ideology must be countered for the security of the free world, and with diplomatic options being increasingly unviable in the countering of the spread of Communism, Americae Roma now has no choice but to execute a decisive military response to this undesirable situation. This operation has obtained the required Americae Roma Congressional approval.
The Americae Roma Navy has assembled and deployed a combined task force into the region consisting of the following vessels:
x3 Nimitiz Class Carriers
x2 Gerald R Ford Class Carriers
x2 Iowa Class Battleships
x4 Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ships
x18 Ticonderoga Class Missile Cruisers
x30 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers
x3 Zumwalt Class Destroyers
x1,500 Aircraft consisting of: F/A-18 Hornet, F-35B Lightning, F-14 Tomcat among others
The Americae Roma Air Force has readied an aerial task force of 3,000 combat aircraft including:
F-15 Eagle
F-16 Falcon
F-22 Raptor
F-35A Lightning
B-1 Lancer
B-2 Spirit
B-52 Stratofortress
A-10 Warthog
among others
Americae Roma does not intend to start a large ground operation and deploy mass numbers of troops for now, but has put 100,000 soldiers and marines on standby in case the situation escalates.

To: United Federation of Treko, North Stravel( Coalition Defense Force)
Encryption: AES-256 Military Grade

The Department of Defense of Americae Roma would like to request the stationing of ground troops and aircraft in the territory of the United Federation of Treko and North Stravel, Americae Roma has declared it's intentions to intervention on the side of the Coalition Defense Pact against the Communist threat, however, Americae Roma is geographically far away from the theatre of operations, and thus it's limited in it's striking capability, our air force could only take off from our mainaldn and o rely on mid-air refueling or long range bombers in conducting airstrikes which limits the number of aircraft per strike against Communist forces, so most of our airpower would have to come from our carrier air wings, however our naval task force currently only has 1,500 aircraft compared to our air force task force's 3,000 aircraft, if you two are to authourize Americae Roma to construct forward operating airbases, it would give us up to 4,500 aircraft on tap in the region, greatly enhancing our airpower that could be used against the Communists.
So far, our ground forces only consisted of a few hundred Marines in Marine Expeditionary Units aboard Amphibious Assault Ships, we did mobilize a 100,000 soldiers and marines to prepare for a potential ground war in case of escalation, but due to the geographic distance, it will take a long time to be deployed if needed, if they are deployed in your countries-Trekko and North Stravel, they could be deployed much quicker if they are ever needed and the presence of these troops in your territory could act as a deterrence against the Communists.
I hope you two reply quickly and accept this offer, it will greatly enhance all of our tactical capabilities against the Communist, and it will allow Americae Roma to conduct the air and naval strikes that will disrupt the Communist enemy

[Arcadian States and Commonwealths]

Ferris Air Fields, Luar, Aels

Seconds after the declaration from Knight Commander Chiara, then was the air lift base a buzz with activity. Deployment of the first stage would be sent by air, a fairly fast way to get the spearhead of the JVP forces into country. The Air field laid claim to being the JVP's best air lift wing. Boasting 6 of her 12 Y-20, long-range Air transports. The biggest air carrier in service to the JVP. All 6 would see action over the next few days, as they shuttled troops, equipment and supplies to the combat zone. Though more focused on carrying the two companies of the Brotherhood of Zarhadian HIMARS and pallets of pods.

To aid in the lift, several IJ-214 Multirole Transports, several Airbus A330 MRTT, both the Troop carrier and the Refueling variants. The A330, would be the primary carrier of the three activated QRF units of the knight order, numbering close to 3000, and would be flown out in waves over the night. The Personal from the Zarhadian Brotherhood, would ride in the Y-20 carrying their M142s.

Zyu-Troop transports, and other light APCs would make their way over in the first and second waves.

Chiara, who after her quick meeting with the High Queen, made her way to Seoul Air base, where she would meet with her units of Valkyries and make way for Travestapol, which she wished to use as the staging area for the JVP forces in country, before moving to a more northern area, to provide support for other allied forces moving into country.

Eric Hope Naval Base

Cargo transports, had began the slow task of lining up on docks, to begin receiving heavy equipment and supplies. Since most of the ground personal would be flown over, this meant that most of the troop carriers could be sidelined. As per General Caleb's orders, The Jobaria's were pulled from their staging areas, and moved to EHNB. Being a large truck and trailer, it would take some time to the get the 8 systems down to the naval port and load onto the ships waiting.

An escort task force was being pulled together to provide protection for the large convoy. consisting of two Henderson Light carriers, a sisterhood of Sejong the Great's (5), and a sisterhood of Wang Geon (5). They would be met at sea but a scouting force of Submarines and, and Anti-Submarine Destroyers.


Regional Seas

To provide heavier firepower in the area. A naval Task force, already close to the Regional Seas area. Was redirected to Anavonkyan, with plans to provide an air escort for the incoming cargo jets. The Task force was made up of 3 Henderson Light Carriers, and one of her larger sister ships in the Webber Super Carrier. Flanked by her escorts of six Destroyers and 3 Submarines. the Task force numbered a total of thirteen ships.


Present time

With the go ahead to deploy forces into Anavonkyan, jets, already on the runway, began to take off in a swarm, claim to combat altitude, and form up. Escort fighters and AWACs, took off from local airfields to provide protection for the leg of the trip. The fighters would head back, once they made contact with the escort force from the Webber task force, head back, refuel, and then provide escort for every other flight of transports. At some point, they would provide return escort, for transports on their way back to the JVP to fill up with my equipment and supplies.

On the deck of the Michael Webber, the first ship of the Webber class, three JA-15's took off, following an aircraft being flanked by three JA-15LR.

"Green 47, Green 47. This is Penguin 6. Requesting promise to take of escort."

"Penguin 6, this is Green 47. Copy request. Begin return home"

"Copy that Green 47. Safe travel, and may the High Queen protect."

The three JA-15LR, dipped their noses down, broke from their formation, as their replacements quickly took their spots.

"Penguin 7, this is Green 47. I leave the protection of the Jewel in your hands. I'll see you on the other side."

the JA-15LR's broke right as they circled back towards the carriers, and shot back, looking to meet up with a refuel jet, before heading back the JVP.

"Liner 3671. This is Penguin Leader. We'll be escorting you the rest of the way to Anavokyan. Tell our lady to rest up."

"Copy that Penguin leader. We are in your care."

The Pilot looked over at Chiara. "Won't be long now ma'am. We should touch down with in the next two hours."

Chiara smiled, as she looked over the reports flooding from her transports. "This was a great under taking. To deploy so first. But seems the first jets should touch down not to long after we arrive." She said, handing the tablet over to Caleb.

"Ah yes. Won't be long now, till St. Barbara blesses my order, with the honor of crushing those that wishes to use her divine delivery systems, to kill the innocent." Caleb pullout out a pendent on his neck and kissed it. "Great Martyr Barbara, please bless us, your humble servants..." Chiara watched on as Caleb gave his small pray.

"I worry about your order, and it's worship of a saint from the Catholic faith." She narrowed her eyes. "I'm pretty sure, you should not make her into your god."

"The Lady see's that our rounds land true, and that those of the enemy do not reach their target. In the world of Artillery, she is our god." Caleb said, as he looked over the reports on the tablet.

::Travastapol Airport. This is flight 3671, of the Royal JVP Airlines. Requesting permission to land, and begin operations. over.::

Copy, Flight 3671, this is Travestapol Airport tower, proceed to runway one-eight. Over.

Autarch Zarla Kovort

As the NLFN's list allies grew and new military assets began to arrive in the country, Zarla knew that NLFN currently had something that the CDP didn't: Cohesion. One thing the High Authority got right before they were all wiped from the face of the earth by Treko's gas attack was a unified army with one service rifle and one bullet type for that rifle. This made supplying the army far easier and simple. Meanwhile, Zarla's military advisers had given reports of CDP forces going into battle with mixed squads, carrying different ammo and equipment. Their force was an army of desperation, quickly pushed into service with little warning, while the NLFN army was actually quite professional. They were holding, against all odds, they were holding. With her new allies, Zarla had a confidence about her.

There was no time to bask in the small victories achieved though, a message had arrived from Greater Catarapania, this potential ally was at risk of aiding their enemy. "Well, let's just say that we have a similar letter already written up, ready to send to High-Chancellor Yaroslav Tsvetkov."? The tact of this man is childlike. Zarla thought to herself. However, no matter how ridiculous this letter was, what truly mattered was that the CDP didn't have another ally. She asked her foreign minister, Anton Eisk, to take care of this as she had no patience for the rudeness and unprofessionalism of the Chancellor. Anton wrote back quickly and decisively.

Chancellor Michael K. Davis,

The people of Anavokya and I would happy to accept aid from your nation. We stand strong in the face of this tragedy and will not be a victim of the CDP's war crimes any longer. Those who stand with us simply strengthen our already bedrock stance and you most welcome.

With regards to such rumours, we would be happy for Catarapanian observers to arrive in the country with your initial aid. We will show you the situation and not leave anything to speculation. We will provide accommodation to your observers and take them on a tour of the country to get the real opinions of the people.

The actions of the previous regime should not reflect my vision for the NLFN. Our nation promotes freedom of speech, religion and more. All are welcome in our new nation whatever their past and whoever they are.

We hope to work closely with you in the future,

Yours Faithfully,

Autarch Zarla Kovort

[Greater Catarapania]

The first Catarapanian ships bearing aid arrive within the week. In addition to the obvious - food, water purification tablets, medical supplies, and strong hands to ensure their distribution - these ships brought a number of observers and diplomats. Some of these men had been promised a tour, and were eager to see with their own eyes what the nation was like - and especially in the annexed territories. Several others, under ambassador Peter Olson, were here to establish official diplomatic relations. Was it possible to build a Catarapanian embassy in Yetrograd?

[The JVP]

Travestapol Airport

Flight 3671 went into a holding pattern, as her escorts broke away to circle the field.

"Liner 3671, this is penguin Leader. You are free to land, area is clear."

"Rogue that Penguin leader. Flight 3671 moving to runway one - eight. Following your lead."

"Copy that. Penguin 3, will touch down first."

One of the JA-15LR's, broke from circling and took the approach onto runway one-eight. touching down and then lifting back off.

"This is Penguin 3, runway clear."

"Copy that. Liner 3671, landing gears down. See you on the other side."

The liner came in for a quick and smooth landing.

"Tower, this is liner 3671. Heading to area 127. Please have escorts ready to receive."

The liner drove over to a small area, where a few cars were waiting. Once it came to a complete stop, then wheels where chocked, and the door open. Out poured a group of some 10 female Valkyries in full battle gear, Service rifles at the ready. They took up positions around the liner, and scanned the area. It was dark, but their NVG's and HUDs scanned the night.

"This is Valkyrie 1. Area is clear."

Once the word was given, Chiara poked her head out the door.

"Wonderful jobs my sisters." She said aloud, as she walked down the stairs. Her normal KCU wore snugly to her frame, her service rifle slung over her should, as a Hwando hung from her hip. You would have thought her to be a normal soldier on the field.

Behind her cam Caleb, in the same KDU, just more loose. He carried his rifle in hand, and large Broadsword on his back. He took his place nice to Chiara, as she walked towards their escorts.

"Hmmm. My use of your tongue, is how do you say it... Limited." Chiara began, trying her best to give her greeting, in the hosts nations spoken language. "Hmm. I am Chiara..." She fumbled for the words. "Knight Commander of." She cursed in the song like tongue of the JVP. "I'll speak the Regional Common. forgive me please." Chiara always had issues in speaking the host tongue, when ever she was on deployment. she made it her mission, to at lease know a standard greeting.

"Let me start over again. My Full title is Knight Commander of her Majesty's Order of the Penguin, Chiara Ra'il, along with First Sister of the Order Valkyrie Sister Mother Chiara." Chiara, always hated that long titles bestowed onto her, but they were tradition, and one does not simple buck tradition.

"You may call me General Chiara, for the time." She looked back to her comrade. "And this is General Caleb, of the Zarhadian Order."

Caleb cleared his throat. "The Full title would be, Our Lady Barbara, General of the Order Caleb." He tapped at the small pendent on his chest. "But General Caleb Also words." He said, as he watched the knuckles on Chiara right hand go white, as she gripped the hilt of her sword.

"Yes, that is fine to I guess." She said, as she returned to her escorts. "We are in your care." She said, as she let out a whistle, calling her Valkyries to attention, as they moved to form up around her.



"Air lift"

The first of the JVP cargo jets began to touch on the given air field that was in use by Rhamos. Knights and Vehicles, poured out of the cargo jets as soon as they touched down, quickly forming up into their units, and heading to a predetermined location on the Air field, to set up a quick FOB and HQ. a detachment of APC's left the area, heading to meet with Commander Chiara and he detachment.

As quickly as the cargo jets landed and unloaded, then were they back in the air, heading back to pick up more equipment and supplies. Making room for the next waves to land and off load.

Regional Waters.

The Transport fleet, had made good timing, as they made their way to the Makion regions waters, coming up from the South on approach Anavokya controlled waters, and meeting up with the task force already in theater.

[Great Humania]

At the airport at North Stravel

A sergeant of the Imperial Army rushes through to find the general. "Sir! Seargent Belta Reporting!" the sergeant said. The General is confused about why the sergeant rushed to his office so he asks, "Is there something important Sergeant?". the Sergeant replied, "Sir we got a call from the Imperial Military Council, do you want to talk to them, sir?" The General now has the sergeants full attention and agreed to talk to the Imperial Military Council, he is handed the phone. "General Akkhan speaking," he said. *distance voice on the phone SFX* "uh, uh, uh yes sir right away sir", he gives the satellite phone back to the sergeant and picks up the radio. "All officers get your unit ready, we're heading for Levansk" he said. The soldiers loaded their stuff and got on the trucks, the tanks headed first, then the armored vehicles, then the trucks. They started to head for Levansk, flying the Tyrian flag they headed there with pride, while driving a soldier spotted a group of kids looking at them, he saluted them when he passes them.

[The Green Union]

Markion Union Security Council Meeting

It had been some time since Marie-Claude Chapelle had last been to a Security Council Meeting, as everyone had been focused on the increasing scope of the Second Oceanian-Sevevillian War. “What a pointless waste of lives.” She thought. But as that conflict seemed to be nearing resolution, it was time to turn to other matters. The conflict in Anavokya had boiled over while the conflict in Oceania was at the forefront. Since then the Coalition Defence Pact and its allies had made little progress, and the conflict seemed to be in a stalemate. Until Treko launched a chemical strike on the Anavokyan capital and two large military installations, killing tens of thousands and maiming thousands more. And thus Marie-Claude Chapelle had been sent to the MU, armed with a resolution to attempt to stem the brutality. And to hopefully prevent further atrocities from occurring.

1. Demands that all parties and others concerned treat Brovelik, Oteroviko, and Yetrograd and their surroundings as safe areas which should be free from any armed attack or any other hostile act;
2. Demands that these safe areas be treated as demilitarized zones by all parties.
3. Demands also to that effect the immediate cessation of armed attacks by units of United Federation of Treko against Yetrograd;
4. Reaffirms that the deployment and use of chemical weaponry, is unlawful and unacceptable; (The Gothenburg Accords)
5. Condemns the deliberate targeting of the civilian population in and around Yetrograd and rejects the deliberate use of chemical weaponry by the United Federation of Treko to force the capitulation of Anavokya;
6. Authorizes the establishment of Markion Union Force in Anavokya (MUFA)
7. Authorizes the use of force by MUFA for self-defense and to defend established safe zones from any armed attack.
8. Authorizes MUFA to investigate all reported War Crimes in the area of operation.
9. Authorizes MUFA to gather and prepare evidence of War Crimes for prosecution by MU tribunal.

“The Republic of Altos and Stratis would like to open the floor to debate on Resolution 003. if there is no debate, we would like to proceed with a floor vote.” She said.

Delvin Solymós, Markion Union Headquarters, Avibéliard, Kingdom of Alluscia:

Weary old Ambassador Solymós, unfortunately, would have some objections. Looking more drained than ever before, he nonetheless stood to deliver his statement:

“This Resolution 003 hinges on many variables which there are no efforts to pin down. Who is providing the soldiers, police, bureaucrats, and investigators for this mission? How will combatants be encouraged to agree? How will a secure line of communication between all sides be established? The Green Union will vote in favour of Resolution 003, but there is a lot to work out.”

Despite Treko being apart of the Markion Union, it did it's hardest not to be involved in most of its affairs, however, when the matter involves Treko it's a different tune. I don't truly know why the government isn't more involved with MU but one could speculate that it doesn't see eye to eye with them. Nonetheless, I was ordered by acting High-Chancellor Tsvetkov to go to the Markion Union Security Council Meeting and bring up a proposition to the security council. I suppose the proposition could be looked upon with the idea that Treko was trying to save face, maybe, but it was also trying to set the story straight about the Anavokyan war that was still raging. A fellow diplomat by the name of Marie-Claude Chapelle was also there in regards to the war. However, she was there with a resolution to stem the brutality. Brutality? I suppose but those who sympathize and support the ideas of communism only deserve one true end. Though I kept those thoughts to myself when the A&S Diplomat Marie-Claude brought forth Resolution 003. Yet I would not keep quiet about my proposal so I stood up and spoke up after Marie-Claude.

"The United Federation of Treko would like to also bring forth Proposition 001 to the floor. As with Resolution 003, if there is no debate, we would like to proceed with a floor vote.”

Proposition 001
Situation in Anavokya

1. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya has no legitimate claim to the lands and this is merely a Right of conquest
2. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya is forcing De Facto rule over the conquered area
3. Ask that the MU recognize the legitimate governments of the conquered nations
4. Ask that the MU recognize that Anavokya needs to return to pre-right of conquest borders

---

Here Solymós was even less enthusiastic. “Any demands for New LFN forces to withdraw are completely unacceptable. There are barely enough neutral forces available to administer and protect Altos and Stratis’ proposed safe zones, so this opens up what are currently stable territories to the effects of power vacuums and further violence. For the CDP or its associates to occupy the land is similarly unacceptable, both because these are active combatants and because they have been shown to disrespect the Gothenburg Accords. To place supporters of the New LFN in their hands would be enabling further violations.”

All in all, Delvin Solymós would go on to speak in support of Resolution 003 and advocate for an immediate ceasefire along existing battle lines. He would stress the importance of all sides cooperating with war crimes investigators, and push for an international task force to be assembled as soon as possible.

[Sjovenia]

Markion Union Security Council

Edmund Škof stood still the table where his name plate was. A small Slaveškan and GDU flag sat on either side of his name plate. Clearing his throat he spoke in his native tongue. “As the representative for the Greater Drejveškan Union and a diplomat to the Autocracy of Slaveška I vote in favor of Resolution 003 in accordance with Proposition 001.” Edmund sat back down adjusting his tie as he did.

[Raltirian Denethier]

Denethrien Tambayé, Southern Aels

The invitation to cooperate with Rhamosian forces in a strike against Treko's chemical weapons platforms was accepted without much delay, and joint planning was approved to coordinate in identifying and selecting target zones for a strike group including Rhamosian and Denethrien aircraft. The Raltirian attack bombers were not dissimilar from the Rhamosian Hawk Owls, being a swept-wing bomber design based on the same concept as the F-111 Aardvark, only these had been designed to serve as very low-observable strike aircraft.

Four such bombers were deployed from Tambayé with internal bays carrying four 250-kilogram guided bombs with an additional two mounted on wing pylons, in addition to external fuel reserves. External ordnance would, naturally, sacrifice some stealth on approach, but the initial intent of the operation was to penetrate hostile airspace with a small group of aircraft using careful coordination and planning to avoid detection by enemy air defenses. Additional support would be provided by a pair of electronic warfare aircraft of similar design, intended to keep Treko blind to the joint Denethrien-Rhamosian incursion. Aerial tankers were to accompany the strike group as far as could be managed before turning for home, while the strike team would jettison external fuel reserves only before entering Trekkish airspace. The final leg of the mission would be flown from Treko into Anavokya, landing at an airbase held by friendly forces.

Delegate Aurore Noir

"The Arcadian delegation to the Markion Union security council votes yes on both resolutions, and hopes that peace in the region can be achieved." Resolution 003 was a very popular resolution within the MU, and this would have an effect in the Congress of nations in thier decision making to deploy Arcadian military forces in the region.

Camp Geyer, Republic of Stravel

PFC. Jules Baumé, 76th Air Defense Battery, 45th BCT

Jules was an air defense specialist and has only been with his unit for a month, today he and Corporal Carrel were tasked with signing out and driving a M-ATV to an air defense post about 17 miles away. Jules waited outside until the corporal walked out with paperwork in hand, saying "They're pulling it out now, it's all good." The paperwork soon went in the corporal's chest pocket as the M-ATV pulled around the corner, with the tires deflated on the front right tire, and partially deflated on the rear right tire, and stopped in front of them, with a soldier from the motor pool stepping out and handing Corporal Carrel the keys. The young soldier spoke, "The tire inflation system is fucked, so you have to mind the turns, it's at a 30 tilt." The Corporal shot back with "Shouldn't that piece of shit be fuckin' deadlined?" The young soldier spoke, "Yeah so are our others." Corporal Carrel spoke again "Isn't there another god damned vehicle that we can use?" The soldier responded, "The other has its blackout lights out and a cracked floodlight." The Corporal sighed and spoke, "Get the fucking NCO down here now." It was roughly ten minutes later before a sergeant walked out and spoke: "what do you need corporal?" Corporal Carrel responded with "We heard you have a vehicle in your garage that is deadlined because of lights we won't use, while this has its tire inflation system offline, can we get another ride, we need to put people in the back of this bitch, and it's unsafe as is, and now you want us to put it in that?" pointing to the M-ATV, and the sergeant said, " Corporal that means I have to sign more paperwork and do its safety checks which will put you behind on your deadline to be at the OP, its good enough, and your not going to get another vehicle."

When they got back to the company area they began to load soldiers on the back and Private Gulati walked up to Jules and said "what the fuck is this?" Jules shook his head and replied, "I don't know I just work here."

[Phoenxia]

In 1998, the Xekniya-Phoenixia referendum was passed, ceding the autonomous region of Xekniya to the National Republic of Phoenixia. Ethnic Xekniyans were excluded from registering to vote due to them not being citizens. Fields of the Drejveskan frontier farmers who voted ‘yes’ were burnt by disgruntled Xekniyan men. Reikmenster Eiren Luetsche saw the resistance to incorporation and sent the 2nd Marinkor battalion to keep peace. They fell upon heavy resistance by armed militants, and so more and more were sent into the Xekniyan meat grinder.

In 2008, a new administration elected in 2004 worked out an end to the first Xekniyan conflict with recognization of a free Xekniyan state. In 2012, the first Libkrat administration came to light, they were vastly unpopular because they made it out the all the 7,000 soldiers deserved to die, for some reason they got elected for a second term because of popular social policy.

The Xekniyans have mostly just wanted to be left alone for about 1000 years of history, but according to the Phoenixian war ministry; terrorism is terrorism.

In 2020, Gustavek Khaloksov got elected with the thought to be dead LNP. Falsified reports from the tinderbox newspaper ‘Strum’ said that Xekniyan militiamen were killing Phoenixian women and children. He went on full mobilization and started the second war.

Phoenixia has been at a continual second war in Xekniya for almost 14 years now, almost the entire Phoenixian military has been dedicated to a very small 8,000 miles sq. Xekniyan militants have not given ground since the recapture of Atserna in 2027. At least 6,500 have been killed in the second war (2022-Present) alone.

Phoenixia has appealed to the GDU in recent times to no avail. Since the new year, deadly airstrikes and white phosphorus attacks have increased tenfold. It is estimated that with the recent increase, 600-700 civilians have been killed or injured in the attacks, many more have been left homeless.

Some Xekniyan militant groups have appealed to the NLFN for help againt the ‘Phoenixian Fascists’ At least 30 have been killed in combined NLFN shootings in the Kassau metropolitan area last week.

[The Republic of Brinn]

Aberdeen, Republic of Brinn

Cpt. Samuel Everett, D Co, 1st Airborne Regiment

With the conflict spreading on the mainland, the second foreign deployment, and Brinn's first combat deployment overseas for the Brinnish military has begun. Parliament has voted to send an expeditionary force totaling one regiment to fight against the national bolsheviks who have begun a war of aggression that began with a violent uprising. It would be 17 hours before they would enter GDU. They sat in the capital's international airport with a military transport being prepared for the long flight. Soldiers sat on thier duffel bags waiting for the order to board the plane.

Samuel had never left the country, and had grown up in the suburbs on the silver shores, and commissioned out of the Carthage Federal Military Academy and served with a mechanized unit on the border of the native reserve until he volunteered for an airborne assignment last year. He came from a rather large household with three sisters and the same amount of brothers, in a suburbs on the silver coast. He was the only one in his family outside of his grandfather who has served in the armed forces. The more he thought about this deployment the more he didn't like it, the Brinnish military had never conducted an overseas offensive operation, and most of the military's experience is fighting a technologically inferior foe on familiar ground back in the past. When they made contact it was going to be a learning curve, a steep one at that, and they were going to loose men. His goal was to ensure no one in his company would come home in a flag-draped casket in full honors.

[Phoenxia]

He checked his gear, this was it. No more of that gangster bullshit, they were going after genuine commies. The NLFN was about to regret ever stepping into Phoenixia. The van door opened, his team stepped out into the cool night air of Atserna.

The point man assumed his position by the door, just as rehearsed. The others lined up. The breacher made his way up with his hammer. The point man counted on his fingers and mouthed “Un, duan, trai.” Just then, the glorious sound of a splintering doorframe interrupted the perfect silence of the night past curfew. His team rushed in the room to secure, one sorry ass punk burst out of the closet only to get shot in the head by one of the operators.

The rest were completely oblivious and were neutralized on the spot. Such precision was necessary in this operation, you may never know what those liberal pigs down at the Phoenixian Free press will try to say about your ‘brutality’ or ‘inhumanity.’

[The JVP]

JVP Air Lift.

A group of young male knights, seven in total, walked out onto the air field. They all wore their full gear, fully loaded out for the mission a head. This was a great day for Rabbit Family, they were the heading from the air field to help set up a a camp around the Orlek Naval base. The mission would be long, and most likely boring since of the action was far up north.

But you would never know from the way the seven talked about the women they conquered the before deploying, or plans for when they get weekend leave. “No lie man, she made me bacon pancakes. Psh, I took her right there on the table as stuffed my mouth.” said the voice of one of them men. He was average high and build, and had one of those handlebar mustaches you would see on some American Hipster. “I was all like. Yea, you like that don’t you. And she was all like, not on the table. I have to feed my kids on this later. And I was all like, I’ll feed you.” The whole time he was acting as if he was humping his helmet. His buddies laughing at him the whole time.

“Man, I'm surprised that table held. I’ve seen some of the land whales you like to lay.” Said the larger man of the group, his skin was rich olive color and he had his hair in brides, he had a few white tattooed arrows under his left eye. He slapped his friend on the back. “You use to bed some of the nastiest and biggest girls when we in selection. I mean I’m surprised you made it as a knight and did not get crushed by one for them.” He puffed his cheeks out and held his arms out wide. “Why yes, I’m here to see Jinkins, we have a date. Why yes I’m a large land whale why do you ask.” Jinkins face turned red, which made the light blonde hairs on his face disappear. “Shut the fuck up Piek. At lease I still get it on the regular. When was the last time you bedded a women?” Jinkins said, now fending off comments about how his eyebrows vanished. Piek rubbed his chin and asked. “How old are you?” To which Jinkins answered 23.

“Yep, I remember bedding this one chick 23 years ago, but she had this ugly ass baby and was trying to say it was my kid.” Jinkins faced turned even redder as he hit Piek in the arm. The whole group of them laughing.

“All right you fucking virgins, enough of this fantasy world were you get some. We are lead on this convey.” Jasper, their Family leader said. Average in height, Jasper would not have been the pick for leader of this gang of idiots. But here he was Family lead of a Knight Squad that had all his selection mates in it. There was Jinkins and Piek, they grow up together and come out of a poor area in Luar. They were real tight like brothers. Which was weird because the group had a set of brothers, Twins brothers, or you could call them twins, as they looked nothing alike? They were known as Finn and Jake because Jake had the look of a Dog. Next was Bobby, he was the quiet one, but could drink any SOB under the table and still run a 5K the next day like it was nothing. Last was Gunther. There was really nothing about him outside the fact that he fast, very fast. They had all met one day at a bar during selection, all of them trying to hit on a group of women by themselves. So it was no surprise that they all failed. At the bar they all became quick friends and managed to get the group of women with a joint effort. Since then they have all been best of friends and were happy to all be put in the same family during training.

“Look, this should be a simple Convey. The Enemy is nowhere near us, but we need to be on high alert, the civs don't know us yet, so be on your best." Jasper said looking at Jinkins. "No throwing rocks at the fucking kids." Jinkins face some how grow even redder and glared at Piek as he asked if his mom was a tomato.

"Those fucking Sand brats had it coming. We all knew they tracked our convoys for the Taliban." He spoke back to their Families last deployment to Afghanistan. They ran convoy security and route clearing missions for the Americans. "Fucking kids are lucky I did not give them a taste of my .50." Jinkins made a motion like he was gunning down a field of people.

"Yea, that, or the wrath of land whales everywhere, when they found out you died." Piek said, laughing at his friend.

"I would fear for that country, if it had to face the wrath of a rolling stampede of colored hair land whales." Gunther said, as everyone broke down in laughter.

"You know what. Fuck all of you." Jinkins yelled as he crossed his arms.

"Joking aside, here are the orders." The group grew quiet as the listened to their Family leader. "Piek, Jinkins. You are with me. Piek on the wheel, Jinkins in the gun. we are running lead truck. Bobby The twins and Gunther, you two are in the mid truck. Bobby on the wheel, Twins, you get to take the double mount, Jake East, Finn west. Gunther TC." He looked over his guys. "We'll be joined by Lion family and their sister unit Lioness Family." He made eye contact with the twins. "Yes, the lioness twins are here, no they will not be staying at the new camp, and no you can not have some private time them once we get there." He looked as the bright smiles on the twins faces broke into glare of cold rage.

"We fucking hate you." They both said at once.

"And I fucking love you two." Jasper said back. "Our three families will be running convoy security missions from her to the new camp. once the main assets are in country then we move up north to run security there."

"Where are we sleeping?" Bobby said? "Hopefully not sharing a big ass tent with those Rhamosians over there." He pointed towards the side of the Air field were the Rhamos forces had been massing at. "Look, if this is another Kandahar." He began, before being cut off by Jasper.

"No, we are not sharing a smelly ass 300 man tent with anymore." He waved his hand across his face. "No wonder 10th Mountain is stationed in a cold place. Kills the stink." He remembered how they had first walked into the tent, and how Bobby had very loudly, in his best American accent, yelled about how they all smelled like the backside of a bulls balls on a hot day in hell. It took many base MP's to break up the fight. "No, we'll be mostly sleeping in trucks or around them. They may have some housing... No, you can not sleep in the same truck as the twins." Jasper said, quickly turning to the twins right before they asked their stupid question.

"Look, we wasted enough time as is. Load up and lets roll." He put his helmet out before him. "Remember." He looked at each of his family mates. "Eyes out, mind focus. We shoot straight, and Jinkins always buys the beer." Everyone laughed besides Jinkins, who thought the joke was stupid.

The group of men put their helmets together in the center and yelled something about Rabbits always coming first. It was most likely a dirty joke, but they all laughed and walked towards their trucks.

[Americae Roma]

The Americae Roma Air Force and Navy after undergoing preparation and force buildup has launched a series of air and naval strikes against the New Liberated Free Nations and their supporters in an effort to cripple their military and strategic capabilities in the region in support of the military effort of the Coalition Defense Pact involving 150 aircraft and 10 ships.

ANN breaking: The Congress of Nation votes on a bill that would begin combat operations in Drejveska

Senator Finn Baader's bill to begin combat operation against the bolshevik threat in Drejveska has just hit the floor of the house of commons where a fierce debate on whether to deploy AAF troops in a combat role has hit the voting floor, if this bill passes it will be passed to the house of clans and then to the Chancellor's office to be signed into action, but now the two sides have begun to debate the effects and merits of possible intervention. With the conflict spreading to Phoenixia the bill for war has garnered more support in congress. The 222nd Airborne Brigade in the Engelmann Kaserne have been put on standby for possible deployment.

Military forces that are already in the region with the local uplift efforts have been put on alert for any possible attacks if the bill is signed into action. This would make the small Arcadian Task Force one of the biggest targets for retaliation before the main force would arrive.

[The united American-Isreali empire]

ooc: could i join?

[The united American-Isreali empire]

UAIE commander in chief Eli Patton the third to the CDP allied forces: we are seeking to join the conflict and can deploy 35,000 ground troops. as well aid aid for local civilians and CDP forces. we will give our best as needed. i expect to be willing to help all we can. i will give any supplies we can offer, we are going to bring in our navy and air units to be deployed as well. please do let us help as we strongly back the efforts of the CDP, and will proudly fight alongside the allied forces.

after the speech Eli Patton the third gives the orders to the navy, air and ground forces. these forces now prepare to intervene, the ground forces mobilize and contract given to death corp. whom prominently get the needed 5,000 pmc soldiers. the united legion, known for its nature within the UAIE celebrate a chance to do their duty and earn citizenship for many. the uaie forces also get supplies, vehicles, and ships ready. the small arms already within units (as highly militarized forces maintain their own personal weapons issued to them, may also keep them even after retirement). the forces mobile their units proper and soon will be ready for deployment. (this is thanks to the fact the UAIE is very militaristic and units are easier to deploy due to the fact most people are in units in one way or another) aid is prepared as well ready to send in terms of food, weapons, vehicles, artillery and so on as well.

[The Kingdom of Rhamos]

Anakovyan Airfield

A strung out and wiry Brigade XO met the JVP contingent on the tarmac as they disembarked their craft. The poor officer was clearly over worked and under paid, their existence now fueled by the large thermos of coffee in one hand and the crushed pack of cigarettes in the other.

"What the fuck are you doing sending a fighter down my damn runway!" She complained loudly to them, waving the thermos out at the tarmac gesturing to the multitude of working parties busily preparing the area for construction. She leaned in close so the unlucky soldier could get a full view off her bloodshot eyes. "He could have killed someone with that unscheduled bullshit, do it again and I'll have all your asses." She finished with a large swig straight from the thermos before storming off calling back over her should for them to "Get that bucket off her tarmac so more flights have room."

Across the way a large stratolifter was drawing a crowd as soldiers gathered to watch the commotion. Through the crowd the XO pushed through in a huff to see another fiasco she'd have to deal with. Inside the plane a large armored vehicle was dead in its tracks blocking the cargo from coming off.

Walking up the ramp she watched as several crewmen hefted a large slave cable around to hook up its batteries to another vehicle behind it as a pissed off NCO shouted orders to the group. The XO let out an exasperated "fuck me" as she drew out a cigarette and lit it, disregarding the no smoking sign on the planes wall before approaching the man.

"Why are you jumping tanks in a god damn plane." Her voice had came out far more irritated then she had meant it to but she didn't really care either. The affect was immediate though as the man whirled on her with a look of hate on his face before he realized that he was outranked by several orders of magnitude by the XO. He cleared his throat to ensure he sounded like he had at least a modicum of respect in his voice despite his obvious irritation before he spoke.

"Damn driver left the power on before we took off so she's dead dead. Wont take to long to get her jumped." He eyed her cigarette and raised his brows questioningly "Mind if I bum one." The glare he recieved convinced him the answer was a yes but he was pleasantly surprised when she tossed him the lack anyways without a word. "Hell yeah, we'll be rolling here in a sec Ma'am."

The soldiers had already connected the to vehicles while they were talking and were waiting patiently for the man to give them orders. The NCO pointed up and drew a small circle in the air above him giving the signal for them to start the rear vehicles engine, recieving a sputtering roar as its diesel engine fired to life and the driver pegged its rpms. A brief pause filled only with the fiery screams of the engine and its billowing smoke before the NCO repeated the gesture and the lead vehicle fired to life as well.

The man handed the pack to her with a small thanks before he walked off to oversee the finishing preperations to move the two monsters off the plane and onto the runway. The noise of the two engines in the confines of the plane had throughly rattled her brain to the point that she no longer cared to spend anymore time on the matter and she turned to go find more fires to put out in the chaos. She had meant to jump down the man's throat about throwing off her timetables but sleep deprivation was catching up to her and a quick nap somewhere was starting to seem more appealing than anything.

She could only manage to mumble out "fucking tankers" before flicking her cigarette butt away and heading for somewhere less migraine inducing.

It had been several days since the first advance party had put groups on the ground in Anakovya and they had been nothing but pure chaos for her. The list she had had to go through was exhausting, extensive, and covered a host of items most people never consider. From hiring and vetting translators, arranging contracts for local construction companies to supply cement and other construction materials, to something as mundane as renting local vehicles for staff members to use once they arrived. These ordinarily wouldn't even be her problem save for the fact that most of her staff had yet to even land yet.

The worst of it was that advon party hadn't been able to properly plan out how this base was even going to be set up. Sure they had had satellite photos and local websites with pictures to go off of but that never transferred over well once you saw the place in person. The resulting chaos of having to adapt everything on the fly only further convinced the XO she was going to go grey way to early.

Skies over open ocean

Having loitered over the rendezvous point for what seemed like an agonizing amount of time the bomber crews had just finished their mid air refueling when the Denni flight linked up with their own. Final preperations were made including a last minute update of all available intel before radio silence was to be observed. A secure message was relied to the appropriate Anakovyan authorities of what amounted to a cryptic warning about the flight so they wouldn't be engaged. With everything in place the Rhamosian bombers fell in behind the Denni planes and let them take the flight lead.

Re: Resolution 003

To whom it may concern,

With the passage of Markion Union Resolution 003 imminent, we wish to begin diplomatic outreach to ensure its proper implementation.

I hope for your prompt reply.

Sincerely,

Henricus Maro
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Marie-Claude Chapelle, Markion Union Headquarters, Avibéliard, Kingdom of Alluscia

Marie-Claude Chapelle had listened to the objections and criticism from the delegates of Treko and the Green Union and waited patiently for her turn to respond. And finally, her turn to speak had come

“We appreciate the criticism from Delegate Solymós, and since he asked I will provide some specifics. The Republic of Ameria will be providing the soldiers and police needed to secure and defend these safe zones.”

“As for additional personnel, the Kingdom of Albatan and the Federated Kingdom of Emerstari have indicated willingness to provide bureaucrats and investigators to the Markion Union Force in Anavokya.”

"On the matter of how communication between all sides will be handled, we plan to establish a joint deconfliction center in a neutral country. Which will handle communication between all sides involved."

"And on the matter of how we plan to get the belligerents to agree, we have begun diplomatic overtures to both the CDP and NFLN."

"Now that those questions have been answered, I will enter my votes. The Republic of Ameria votes to pass Resolution 003, however, we vote to not pass Proposition 001. The MU should focus on ending the fighting, rather than trying to reach a political settlement."

"Also on the matter of Proposition 001, I agree with Delegate Solymós' criticism, seeing as The Republic of Ameria explained the specifics of our plan. The United Federation of Treko should do the same."

She sat back in her chair, articulating her position had drained her. "Take that you bastards" she mused as she waited for the response of the Trekkish delegate.
