We have recently received a message from the Nacradian Air Force, they wish to " ask the Port City of Kuala Lumpur to allow Nacradian military aircraft to use its airport to refuel on their way to and from their targets in Tupeia." Should we extend the same provisions as you had given the Nacradian Navy?

72 hours before total war

"OK, so, thanks for coming. Note that you will be sent to Tupeia. For what we know, we will be striking this island and this island (points to islands in sector 7) and set up airstrips there. There may be slaves to defend them. Despite the fact that they look like malnourished civies, do not think twice in shooting them. They have the majority of their brain matter cut out, and are drones commanded by a computer. They're corpses. No need to feel remorse in shooting corpses, even if the corpses are walking. Has anyone played Left 4 Dead?"

Everyone in the report room raised their hands. After all, this franchise is very popular.

"Good. The slaves are the same as the zombies, except they're not contagious, and they can use guns. Remember, you're shooting corpses, zombies, if you must insist."

"Death to slavers! Humanity shall prevail!"

A total of 10,000 men boarded 8 ships, which met NNV Joshua, the new aircraft carrier. They sailed down to the Strait of Malecca, and docked for only 10 hours (in reality, the tasks are done in 6 hours) to stock up on food for the long sail, destined to the Middle East, where the flagship would be changed to NNV David. They then are expected to sail south to Tupeia. This trip would be expected to take 17 days in total. (<OOC>For details, check my factbook</OOC>)

A cheque of USD$4500 is sent to Kuala Lumpur for the docking fees, attached within a letter.

From: The Ministry of Defence, Security and the Armoury
To: The Port City of Kuala Lumpur
Subject: Payment

To whom it may concern,

Attached is a cheque for the docking fees of our 9 warships in Kuala Lumpur that are expected to arrive tomorrow. They will dock for 10 hours to resupply. The Federal Republic of Nacrad expresses gratitude of the Port City's hospitality and friendliness. We hope that the favourable treatment between us two great places may grow into a beneficial relationship. After this payment, we will calculate and pay the dock fees weekly on Wednesdays.

Yours faithfully,
Immer Smith,
Minister of Defence, Security and the Armoury

Later, Riverfort-Northfield International Airport

50 men boarded a regular commercial flight, bound for Kuala Lumpur, The airport authority in Kuala Lumpur has set aside a piece of the apron for Nacradian aircraft, with 10 hard stands at the edge of the airport, 11 if they squeezed the planes a bit tighter and gave them work passes. Rooms in a nearby cheap hotel has been booked.

A letter is sent to the anti-slaver bloc.

From: The Nacradian Navy
To: The Strategic Command Centers of all anti-slavery nations
Subject: Nacrad offer to assist passage of the Malacca Strait
Encryption: High

Greetings to all,

As you may know, the South Nacrad Sea is a very important route, and owing to the landmasses in this area, the Malacca Strait is often the fastest route. However, the Port City of Kuala Lumpur is currently asserting control. Fortunately, the Nacradian Navy has, after much red tape, obtained permission to sail Nacradian-flagged warships through this Strait.

We hereby offer to allow all of our fellow anti-slavery friends to register their ships with the Nacradian Naval Registry, and thus be allowed to fly the Nacradian ensign as a flag of convenience through the strait, with a fee of USD$70 per ship in registration, and skip all of the red tape required to be granted crossing.

Attached would be a copy of the relevant laws and regulations that your vessel is required to follow when flying the Nacradian ensign. Please note that you are required to file the sailing plans with Nacrad, and we urge the nations that opted to do so to closely follow this rule, especially when the plan includes stopping at Kuala Lumpur, so that Nacrad may organise payment for the dock fees. (<OOC>I won't bother to type it out, just take the US one as mine.</OOC>)

Good luck,
Nacradian Navy

Angelo Lazaro read the letter from Nacrad. While it didn't concern him as much as it did his counterpart from PhilCom--Jerome Flores was admittedly worried, even when accounting for the overseas bases under his command--it left him at a loss for words. While what that nation's Navy was doing was indeed a legitimate ruse de guerre as far as anyone was concerned, he did have some reservations. For one thing, CSG Pigafetta was to set sail for Abd al Kuri from Phuket, being replaced by the Toledo City ESG, which planned to replace its air wing for one intended for assaults.
"Angelo, you and I both know this is perfectly fine as a ruse de guerre..."
"But?"
"If this keeps up we might have to add a few more units," Jerome replied over AV link. "Granted, this will only be for passage seeing as we still have VCNS Phuket, but still."
"And Lashio is more or less fully booked at the moment." VCAFB Lashio was preparing for some massive mobilization, with several squadrons already making their checks; It probably wouldn't hurt for SecDef to speak with Nacrad about basing rights in the Middle East should it come to that, Angelo thought.

"All those in favor of signing the Senate Resolution shall make themselves known." At the prompt, Dorian raised his hand, making sure it was visible to the camera. While the District of Humabon was no longer under quarantine, no one wanted to take any chance whilst the coronavirus was still around. Sure, the Confederation no longer had any cases of COVID-19, but it didn't hurt to be careful; SecFin and one of the Supreme Court Justices survived the virus, but not everyone was lucky.
As a staffer tallied the ayes offscreen, he took another look at the resolution. It affirmed the Confederation's commitments under the Amistad Declaration and stood by Secretary Castro's open letter designating the government of Tupeia as hostis humani generis, which meant that no formal declarations of war were necessary and the Confederation could proceed with using whatever means deemed necessary to prosecute Tupeia and its allies with extreme prejudice.

The Imperial Society of Research and Development
[TOP SECRET]

To: The Committee on Stamping Out Primitive Activites (CSOPA)
From: Director Sevoco of Site 48 of the Imperial Society of Research and Development

Once more, we would like to thank the Committee for allowing us to cooperate on this project. And we would like to report on our recent findings.

We have discovered that... well, attempting to directly remove the probes have resulted in several deaths of slaves. Post-mortem analysis has led to the conclusion that these probes have explosives within themselves. Several x-rays have confirmed this theory and we have found out that these explosives are quite small, several grams, and a detonation would completely kill the person. Most likely other nations have figured this out.

Several other sites have reported that in attempts to directly remove these small load of explosives is possible, however extremely hard. So far they have a reported mortality rate of 83.3%, so we cannot simply continue with this method. Several Site Directors have recently reported they are attempting new methods to try and disable the probes, the Director of Site 63 has reported they are gonna attempt use electromagnetic pulses in order to disable the probe so they have time to remove the probe. Site 31 has begun experimenting with thaumaturgical methods in order to disable the probe, they have managed to successfully to disable a probe, however, this required the skills of two Type 3 Unicorns. And results in the thaumaturgical exhaustion of those unicorns. This is in fact, due to the nature of the metal used by said probes. Site 31 has reported they have yet to utilize artificial thaumaturgical methods in order to disable said probes.

We expect some proper results of the thaumaturgical method by tomorrow so we can make a proper assessment. Additionally, we would like to thank you once more for allowing us to partake in this project, the design of these probes and additional research of them could help develop more sophisticated medical probes.

17:00 Nacrad Standard Time (16:00 Kuala Lumpur Time), Kuala Lumpur port.

A cargo ship, flying the Nacradian Civil Ensign, docks at the port. This ship is under a Nacradian cargo company, contracted to transport supplies to the port. It pulls into a spot, then workers swiftly pulled the pellets of fresh and canned food from the ship. It would be piled in a warehouse that the company owns. The ship would stay for 24 hours, and on arrival, a cheque of USD$600 is handed to the port authorities.

Meanwhile, on the edge of Nacradian territorial waters.

A ship slightly smaller than a Seawaymax class, flying the Tupeian flag, is spotted. "Well, it looks like those scums' GPS had broken." someone humorously remarked. "I fucking bet that they sailed in through the Sunda or the Lombok and are trying their luck."

"Tupeian vessel, in accordance to the Slavery Prevention Act, the Nacradian Armed Forces wishes to inspect your vessel. Please comply and come to a halt."

No response. The ship keeps moving at the same speed. If anything, they're accelerating.

"Tupeian vessel, please comply to our request."

"Tupeian vessel, please comply to our request immediately, otherwise, the Nacradian Marines will have no choice but to forcibly board your vessel. Why are you so secretive if you have nothing to hide?"

"Tupeian vessel, comply immediately, or we will forcibly board you."

"You have been warned. We will force board you now."

Each transmission was met with silence.

"Diu nei lo mo (Motherfucker)" the communications officer cursed. Looks like it would be another battle. "Carrier Joshua, how do you copy?"

"Five by five. Any requests?"

"We've just spotted a Tupeian vessel, about a Seawaymax size. Those motherfuckers didn't answer our request to search them. We need to force board those bitches."

"Say no more."

A formation of 5 helicopters, carrying 2 squads (26 people), took off from the carrier, bound for the ship, as the fleet stopped, ready for firepower support.

OOC: THIS IS WHERE THE FUN BEGINS

IC:
Gunfire broke out over Site 31, especially outside in the temporary slave housing. The minimal military presence on the area turned to be a bad idea considering roughly a mass of 500 thousand slaves went into uprising. As said mass of slaves, was more equivalent to a wave of zombies from World War Z then a mass of slaves.

For an odd reason, the sirens all around the base were on, telling all to wear gas masks.

In a decent distance above the sky, a fleet of Neuen E-6 patrols over the sky.

"Neuen E-6, requesting confirmation of Mubiau,"

"Mubiau... Ja, Lis is the Mubiau, Tuhangesch,"

The planes' lower parts opened up, and several bombs fell unto the Site below, before releasing some dangerous chemical weapons on the unsuspecting slaves below. If you were asking about what was used, it was altered Phosgene gas.

You see, Phosgene gas was a gas that attacks a creature's lungs, initial likely symptoms of coughing, choking, tightness in the chest, nausea, and occasionally vomiting occur minutes after exposure. However, it wasn't dangerously fatal for the MineLegoequestrians. Several tweaks by MineLegotia and Equestria's Imperialarmeechemishdivise, it was.

Due to Site 31's location in a valley, it was the optimal weapon. Soon slaves began choking, coughing, before blood began being coughed up. Soon, one by one they fell down, struggling to breathe as the chemical compound attacked the lungs. It wasn't long before the shouting and screaming of the slaves went silent.

Site 55 was on the outskirts of Penglaut, swarming with slaves, and at an elevated position chemical weapons was a bad idea, the military decided that a different tactic was needed.

Willy Pete.

Deploying it via artillery - thank God there was a convenient military base just 30 kilometres away - shell after shell of the deadly mixture hit Site 55. Accompanied by normal artillery shells, the area was decimated as explosions accompanied by Willy Pete dealt casualties.

After 5 hours of continuous shelling, and several dozen questions form the citizens of the small city of Penglaut, the area was declared clear, with evidence of burnt corpses and body pieces all over the place.

Sure, there was some friendly fire on the surviving surgeons and guards, but in the eyes of the military, several dead surgeons was a better outcome than several thousand dead civvies.

Site-T-1, the temporary housing site for most of the slaves, totalling over 160 million in total. Made with haste to house all the slaves was a massive complex on the island of Uidnmen. The island was roughly 30 kilometres square large, and by building stacked apartments on the island, it was a good idea.

And due to the slaves' orders, the military decided that there were unlikely to be survivor, well unless those survivors were anything but a pony. But due to the strategic importance of killing 160 million hostiles in comparison to saving possibly only a hundred remaining guards.

They would have bomb the absolute FUCK out of it if it weren't for the fact the nearest fleet was 800 kilometres away, and it was a mere patrol fleet. The bombing of the Site by sea had to wait. Thus the air force was given the task to bomb the absolute SHIT out of it.

Utilizing nearby airbases, using their measly thirty aircraft, they managed to knock down 14 of the housing facilities, before running out of ammunition to use.

They had to wait now...

In accordance with the second paragraph of the document, it was stated that any attempt to remove the doc with reprisal. And the document says you can make a refund if you wish. Because of this, Tupeia did not commit any breach of business practices. Everything is legal.

Greetings,

The men had landed on the ship. They went up to the command room. "Nacradian marines!"

The men in the control room raised their hands. "Face down, hands where I can see them! We'll inspect your ship, and nothing more."

"No gunfire. Tupeians have obeyed our command. Hold your fire."

The men spent the next hour searching every nook and cranny of the ship.

"Alright, all seems to be in order. We apologise for the disruption. We'll leave now."

"Assault to carrier, nothing is found, get us back on board."

The fleet started moving, as a few helicopters flew towards the ship, and picked the men up. Then they returned to the carrier.

200 miles from the coast of Efrore

The submarines remained silent. They did not have a need to communicate to their headquarters, and therefore they did not ascend to the surface nor release radio buoys. Their orders were simple – each had been given a set of coordinates to proceed to, and once there, the captain would open a sealed envelope with orders held in his personal safe.

Captain Vladimir Abakumov was at the bridge of the FKS Cirdan, which had the honor of being first on target. His hands did not tremble as he cut the envelope with the razor-sharp blade of his Navy dagger, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips as he read the order.

It was two words.

Happy hunting.

In truth, this was exactly what he expected. There would not be any need to differentiate targets in this war. The enemy's industrial capacity was a legitimate military target. The enemy's slave ships were a legitimate military target. The enemy's slaveowner class was a legitimate military target. All he had to do was hunt and kill.

He raised the microphone and spoke, his voice confident and clear.

"All men, make ready!" – he uttered. – "We have received clearance to proceed with unrestricted submarine warfare. "Helm, bring us up to one hundred."

"Aye aye, Sir!"

The submarine began its ascent, a dark body in the dark blue, a shadow in shadows.

"Acoustics officer, do you detect anything?"

"Sir, propeller noise, bearing North-North-West. Suspect large cargo carrier."

"Helm, bring us in."

The ship proceeded on its course. It was a large vessel, carrying a load of coal – thousands of tons of tons, to feed power plants and factories. It moved on, unaware as yet of its fate. The Allanean vessel moved closer and closer, a hundred meter deep, until at last the sensors officer said, his voice ringing like a bell:

"We are ten miles from target!"

"Weapons officer, torpedoes full spread!"

Four torpedoes, each of them large enough to break a cruiser's keel, sped towards the coal bulker. Allaneans did not do things by half-measures.

"Well boss," Arnold said, "it'll be a bit of a challenge to send our ships to VCNS Phuket ASAP." The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was drinking a cup of cold water; it was a little too hot for comfort outside, and the centralized AC was on full blast to compensate for the heat.
"Agreed...perhaps we should take Nacrad up on their offer? Lest memory serves well, this is a legitimate ruse de guerre anyway," Nathaniel replied. "Now, how far are we on forces?"
"The Toledo City ESG is steaming for Phuket to replace its current air wing for one geared toward assault," Angelo Lazaro replied over the AV links that made teleconferences the norm in a post-COVID Confederation. "The group should arrive by the end of the week; by then we'll have CSG Pigafetta and the Tacloban City ESG on the way to assist."
Arnold: "What of boots on the ground?"
"First Humabon Infantry's doing well in their revised training; we can expect them to be ready for deployment by the end of the week," Jerome Flores replied. "We're sending them along with First Armored as soon as we've worked out the logistics requirements." And of that, there were plenty; chartered ships could only provide so much as far as sending the hardware for thirty thousand soldiers was concerned, and the planning offices of both divisions were working on how to send both divisions piecemeal.

It wasn't every day that the commanding general of the 1st Armored Division shared his base with some of the District's territorials. His opposite number, Desmond Ilano, was in command of half as many men, but the men and women of the 1st Humabon infantry Division drilled as though their lives depended on it, and Joaquin could not deny they had zeal. He admired their professionalism when these weekend warriors helped in the implementation of quarantine measures affecting the District of Humabon during the COVID-19 pandemic, and saw in them a hungry determination. Yes, they would do, the two-star thought.
As the two generals shared stories over drinks and smokes at the O club, the thought that they would have to plan for sending their divisions piecemeal kept their minds occupied. Sure, they had staffs doing the heavy lifting as far as logistics were concerned, but what general would overlook the welfare of his staff? They were the guys who gave him the pieces he needed to solve the puzzle that involved victory; was it not fair that he watch out for them?
As their respective executive officers came for them, Joaquin took out a pack of cards. Every one of the generals had several packs of cigarettes readily available to him; the game would be Texas Hold'em, and they would bet with cigarettes to pass the time. It was a surreal image, seeing four generals play poker betting with cigarettes like prisoners, but it took their minds off the night's worries.

Im Auftrag auf Seine Kaiserliche und Königliche Majestät, Der Großdeutsches Kaiser

A CONDEMNATION OF CONQUEST UNDER THE VEIL OF "ABOLITIONISM"

The world is once again filled with the noise of war, of bloody uprisings, strikes, and mutinies, of terror and cowardly murder. Irreconcilable brotherly hatred divides the peoples and saps the strength of their lives. Mankind and peoples seem to stand helplessly against a confusing and senseless game played by mysterious, unknown forces. Yet behind all the senseless rage of destruction stands a single power whose aim is to destroy the culture of the peoples of this earth and build its bloody world domination on the ruins, the world domination of Bolshevism, wearing the mask of abolitionism, and pointing to the plank in their brother's eye to excuse the log in theirs.

Do the "abolitionists" really think a nation would give up an instituition in a matter of days? And if it did, that that would be the end of it, and everything would go back to the way they think things should be? Regardless of what anyone thinks of slavery, it is impossible for anything that has been established to be dismantled in days what took centuries to dismantle without consequences. Is the blood to be shed by the actions of the "abolitionists", including their own, so worthless that other means that could achieve their aim, if we take it that their only aim is to abolish slavery and nothing more, are worth trying?

If the "abolitionists" think that a society practicing slavery must be turned into dust, then why not pound into dust all societies that practised slavery regardless of if they have stopped the practice? If not, are the lives of the slaves before not as valuable as the lives of slaves today, just because it happened in the past? If so, does that mean the son is responsible for the sins of the father and that these "abolitionists" have the right to issue attainders of blood in addition to letters of marque and reprisal?

Furthermore, if we take the Bolshevist bleatings that their only aim is to "abolish slavery" and nothing more at face value, and we either accept either that the lives of past victims are every bit as valuable as those of present victims, or that sons are not responsible for the sins of their fathers, does this mean it is perfectly acceptable for a coalition of nations to immediately claim the moral high ground then go to war with another nation just because they find their activities morally abhorrent?

The answer is a resounding NO!

Have they exhausted any other means that could plausibly achieve their stated aims without leading to the consequences of their actions? Is there anyone to stop them from going beyond the mandate they have claimed for themselves? Have they given their enemies a chance to "repent" for their "sins"? The answer is NO!

This is because their true goal is something entirely different!

If the Bolshevists topple the government of Tupeia to "abolish slavery", does anyone expect to believe that the Bolshevists will pack up and go home? Who will compel them to do so? Even then, does anyone believe that in case such a scenario happens, for some reason, that the Bolshevists will have gained nothing? Is anyone not in the slightest suspicious of the demand that their observers are the one to be sent and not that of any other party, as if they are the sole arbiters of what is right and wrong?

That is because that is their true plan! All this blathering about the evils of slavery is a theater of justification for conquest and the upending of the geopolitical order to suit them at the expense of everyone else! They desire to be the judge, jury and executioner of this case to pass the verdict of their liking, to set a precedent for the future - that they alone can judge the sins of nations, and pass sentences on these nations that benefit them. Who is to say that they will not create and impose a definition of what is a "sin" and a "crime" that suits them on the entire world?

The villany of Bolshevism does not stop at their desire to bulldoze the world under the cloak of "morality". They do not even believe in morality!

The most damnning evidence against Bolshevism is their opinion of those they claim to protect!

Despite the fact that they are still breathing, consuming sustenance, and acting according to the instincts programmed within them, the "abolitionists" have seen fit to write them off as "zombies" and "the living dead". If these "abolitionists" were sincere and not just a new breed of neoconservatives and Trotskyites looking to conquer the world with a veneer of moral superiority, would they not instead attempt to "repair" them rather than dehumanizing them in front of everyone else, unless you do not actually value human life as much as you say you do?

If we accept the idea that these "slaves" that the Bolshevists aim to "rescue" are "not fully human", does that mean that we should allow these Bolshevists to do whatever they please? The majority of people assume that animals also lack "free will" and "emotions", operating according to their biological instincts instead, but nobody has ever spoken of them in a manner that would open the doors for permitting needless torments to the hapless creatures!

The Bolshevists fancy themselves as the saviors of mankind from every evil, and they claim every evil is good as long as it is directed at those they oppose! Given the sheer hypocrisy, we declare our support for Tupeia in their fight, and we call all of the world to oppose hypocrisy, opportunism and deceit, and to fight against the hordes of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan who have cloaked themselves in the sheep's clothing of morality!

It is one thing to utter platitudes, it is another to live by them!

To the "abolitionists", we have this to say to you: either you live by the standards you judge others by, admit you operate according to the amoral logic of power like all powers have done since time immemorial, and that your goal is the vanquishing of minor nations, or continue doing as you please, and in doing so, demonstrate to the world what a bunch of hypocrites you are!

GROSSGERMANISCHES REICH DER DEUTSCHEN NATION

by **Nacrad** » Mon May 04, 2020 10:48 pm

Federal Republic of Nacrad
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Statement in Response to the Allegations Made by the Grossgermanisches Reich der Deutschen Nation

It was brought to our attention lately that the Grossgermanisches Reich has made public an article, titled "A Condemnation of Conquest Under the Veil of 'Abolitionism'", where the Reich has brought forth arguments such as imperialism, hypocriticality, dehumanisation, and more. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the Federal Republic of Nacrad, believes that these allegations are utterly fictional.

First of all, the Federal Republic has never stated, nor has ever had, intentions to use this war as an opportunity to incorporate Tupeia as a part of Nacrad. As a matter of fact, Nacrad desires not one inch of Tupeian land, nor do we have the political and military capital to occupy Tupeia for more than a few months to oversee the abolition of Tupeian slavery.

Second of all, the Federal Republic's claims that the slaves were zombies, were not unbased, nor were they made in the name of dehumanisation. As a matter of fact, the Federal Republic made these claims, after finding that up to 60% of the slaves' brain matter had been carved out and replaced with probes. In a car crash, one that had lost that much brain matter would be declared dead, regardless of all other attributes. By extension, a dead body that can walk, is, by definition of this word, a zombie.

Third of all, the Federal Republic refutes the claim of hypocrisy. In the statement, it was stated that "if the abolitionists think that a society practicing slavery must be turned to dust, then why not pound into dust all societies that practised slavery regardless of if they have stopped the practice [...]" For that, we must reiterate that, the sole reason that the Federal Republic, and we believe most of our abolitionist friends, have elected to enter war, was that the nations we condemned (namely Tupeia) had retained the practice. Had they complied and abolished this abhorrent practice, we would not have been in this tense situation. We believe that the sons should not be punished for the father's mistake, and Tupeia is clearly the father who is committing the mistake.

Let us ask you a question. What would be your reaction if someone condemned your anti-fascist motives (if they actually exist), using the reason that "The Germans have been hardline fascists. If they believe that fascism should be crushed, why not crush themselves first?", what would you feel? In the same vein, your argument that other nations, us abolitionists or any other nations, have practiced slavery in the past, does not mean that we are hypocritical, for the very act of abolishment of slavery is proof enough that they had repented for their abhorrent sin of slavery.

May it be known that history shall recognise this war as a war of righteousness, may the abolitionists be reviled in the sons of humanity as the guardians of righteousness. The Slaver Menace shall fall!

Im Auftrag auf Seine Kaiserliche und Königliche Majestät, Der Großdeutsches Kaiser

TO THE BROOD OF VIPERS

Let us pretend you are sincere "abolitionists". Your first move was to give them an unrealistic deadline or face the sword. Do you think that Tupeia will give in to a demand where it loses either way? I do not believe you lot are so stupid to think that Tupeia will abolish itself in days because you pointed your swords at them, regardless of how sharp they are.

Furthermore, when confronted with the sword from the start, do you think you will obtain repentance from the sinner? Or will that not either get a cowardly submission without true repentance, or harden his heart? Your actions are telling of the kind of the response you want to obtain.

This is all a kabuki play intented to impress on the viewers that you "abolitionists" have the right to pass judgements on nations for their "sins"!

Let us be realistic. Neither you, the Tupeians, or I believe that Tupeia will abolish the basis of their society, just because you said so, regardless of your sincerity. And they will be especially recalcitrant if they are told they have an unrealistic span of time to do so, at the tip of the sword? Throughout history, has slavery been abolished in a matter of days by a society dependent on it?

While you "oversee" Tupeian "abolition", who is there to stop you "abolitionists" from establishing institutions that would serve your purposes better than actual annexation of Tupeian land? Who gave any of you the privilege of overseeing the actions of another government? Neither you or I are so stupid as to believe that is there is only one way for a state to dominate another.

If the Tupeians are cowed into submission, then you have created a power vacuum as you have ordered their society collapse. Then you will create a state that is more to your liking, and naturally, that new state will obey it's creators. If you accomplish this by conquest, then the same thing has happened but with more bloodshed.

Thus you have increased your power and set a dangerous precedent!

You have set the precedent that you alone have the right to judge others for their sins, and to pass out whatever verdict benefits you the most! Once you have mopped up all cases you have deemed "open-and-shut" to the benefit of none but yourselves, what is stopping you from arbitrating the sins of all the other nations of the world?

Thus national sovereignity dies to the applause of the sheep waiting to be sheared!

We have never claimed the banner of "anti-fascism" or any of the farcical banners you wave, because these banners represent nothing but a theater of a justification where false virtue is generated by flogging dead horses. It is you who going around claiming your moral superiority over "sinners" to justify the destruction of small nations, not us, we are merely removing your disguise.

We are not saying you are hypocrites because you practiced slavery in the past. We are saying you are hypocrites because you have claimed yourself to be "guardians of righteousness" and that your conquests are "righteous" all because of the sins, real or perceived, of another party, while the conquests of others are "imperialism", "neocolonialism" and "expansionism". Who even has empowered you as judge, jury and executioner of the sins of others?

We have never announced to the world we are the most moral beings, and that we can judge others for their sins, and making sure these judgements are to their benefit. You on the other hand, are going around shedding blood while claiming you are the most "righteous" and that the small nations must be abolished in the name of a morality you have no mandate to claim and which you do not even uphold as soon as it is inconvenient.

So we have every right to call you as hypocrites!

If the "zombies" are what you call them, then why bother freeing them from servitude? What is to be done with them after you have bulldozed Tupeia in the name of a false and self-serving "morality"? Or is this all sound and fury, signifying nothing but the whitewashing of a tomb, a tomb for all the nations of the Earth!

If you were truly interested in merely "abolishing slavery" regardless if you gain nothing or even lose, have you ever stopped to think that by your moral standards, these slaves count at hostages? Is it not worth negotiating for their lives before storming the premises? Or are you washing your hands of the blood to be shed in the abolition not of slavery, but of the sovereignity of all nations besides yourselves?

With German regards,

Wilhelm III von Hohenzollern,
Kaiser von Deutschland und König von Preußen
Führer des Großdeutsches Reiches
Führer der Nation

A letter is sent to the City of Kuala Lumpur.

To whom it may concern,

This letter shall serve to inform the Port City that the Nacradian fleet will arrive in the afternoon of 6 May 2020. Please prepare a spot that is convenient to loading the various foodstuffs and equipment that the fleet requires on their voyage, which has already been transported to Kuala Lumpur, if at all possible. The Nacradian Air Force will also make the first visit in a few hours.

Meanwhile, in the Presidential Office.

"What are those Krauts thinking? 'Brood of Vipers'? That's terribly rude of them. I'm rather convinced that they're just trying to get us to lose this high-ground, and we should stop this exchange of insults. To be very fair, both Nacrad and the Germans are using a holier-than-thou mentality. So let's stop. History will prove us right."

"OK, and we censor that letter?"

"No, the people will decide if the German arguments make any sense at all."

Berlin Stadtschloß
Berlin, Gau Berlin
Provinz Brandenburg, Königsreich Preußen

"Euer Majestät, was it really necessary to call them a brood of vipers? That was nasty."
"I was not talking about them alone, but all those other insufferable louts calling themselves "abolitionists", so yes, that was necessary. Politics is nasty business."
"Euer Majestät, what do we do now?"
"Wait for the other abolitionists to respond, and we respond in turn. If we can get them to negotiate, that would be nice but that is not likely, if they truly are so self-righteous as I think they are."
"Euer Majestät, how are we going to negotiate this issue away? Calling them a brood of vipers didn't help matters."
"I don't think that would happen, as the "abolitionists" resorted to force right away. Hence I call them names because if I coated my words in honey it would make no difference. We will all have to fight before anyone considers going to the negotiating table."

At that point, all the courtiers and advisers present were silent. The Kaiser continued: "War is an unpleasant prospect. I prefer we negotiate a settlement, but to do that, both sides must be prepared to give something up. While we prepare for war, begin communicating with the Grand Apostle. We will have to feel him out, if our plans are to work. Wait for the Allanean and Palymrian responses, Nacrad so far has committed to war judging by their first statement. The others will too, and already have, but I want to hear what they have to say to us and the world before making up my mind."

"Jawohl, Mein Herr!"

"Gut. Meeting adjourned!"

17:30, Kuala Lumpur Airport.

The fuel tanks are set up. There is enough fuel in this array to supply even the most fuel-inefficient planes that Nacrad currently has, to fly almost halfway around the globe. They're setting up for the eventual home-away-from-home operations that will take place on this very ramp. A sign saying "Nacradian Air Force reserved area, no trespassing" is put up on the tall fuel tank, along with a Nacradian national flag.

22:00.

A Nacradian Air Force plane touches down on the runway.

"Nacradian Air Force 890, taxi to reserved area via Alpha, Golf, Charlie."

The plane vacated the runway, and received a water salute. It then taxiied to the small reserved area, and dropped off more equipment. Soon after, it turns around, and took to the skies again to go back to Nacrad. The fuel tanks were filled, and the crew left for the night.

Kelieninzel, Hippogriffia, 2358 ALB

Remember that island filled with slaves on an island with only about 30 square kilometres of land, and packed together with 160 million slaves with the rough population density of Hong Kong?

Yeah, this will be the beginning of the end of their story.

After a day's worth of frantic scrambling of the material and aircraft to the nearby small Imperialtianarmee base, they launched another wave of bombardment. Taking down the remaining structures, certainly, most of the slaves would be dead. However, turns out a mass of 160 million slaves controlled by a radio joystick is slightly harder to kill than what the MineLegoEquestrians expected.

Aerial surveillance had shown them trying to assemble what seemed to be a primitive boat. Constant bombardment, however, prevented any chances of them of escaping.

The 4th Carrier Fleet had been dispatched to the area, and it will still take them some time before they get there...

South Western Griffonia, Port Jineme, 0500 Hours

Ever since the declaration of war, the Imperiallautarmee had begun to build up here in the Port of Jineme. Many times in history had Port Jineme became a place to build-up for navies. Now, many MineLegoEquestrian ships await in the port, mostly hailing from the 8th, 9th Carrier Fleets, the 3rd and 7th Cruiser Fleets, and 10th Submarine Fleet.

Walking along the port, Oberflotteshiangfurher Alike Lemi admired the ships of MineLegoEquestrian design. Ever since the battle of Encimno in a faraway land, early in MineLegoEquestrian history, the doctrine of the Imperiallautarmee had shifted from big guns to bigger, modern fleets. If there were more ships on the allied side then the enemy in a battle, a victory can be more easily won. But if they had a numerically and technologically navy, they can easily wipe out the enemy.

The orders from MineLegotian Canterlot were clear, they had to set sail for Tupeia, and in order to limit MineLegoEquestrian soldier casualties, their directive was to choke Tupeia, prevent any supply from reaching Tupeia. This combined group of fleets were temporarily combined into a single task force, Task Force Siwang, and will soon be joined by the 15th and 16th Carrier Fleets, and the 4th Crusier Fleet.

The news was out and about the nation of Reorganisieren Reichregierung declaring their support for the nation of Tupeia. A more dangerous threat than the nation of Tupeia itself.

He personally doubted the abilities of barbaric nations, the Multiversal Empire had faced more dangerous, more advanced enemies, and came out on top. Destroying, and conquering enemy empires from world to world. The Multiversal Empire may lose temporarily in a battle or a war, or heck even wars, the Multiversal Empire has a habit of outlasting its enemies...

Oberflotteshiangfurher Alike Lemi smiled to himself.

"Only 10 parking stands," General John Miller said to himself, "10 stands to cross-load troops, repair planes, refuel them and prep them. But we may see up to 150 aircraft movements through Kuala Lumpur, especially when shit hits the fan. It'll take extraordinary scheduling..."

Indeed. With a prospect of fighting 2 fronts, aerial-wise anyways, plus ongoing low-level conflicts in the Middle East, Kuala Lumpur will surely be difficult to manage. And the 10 stands that are leased already cost USD$5000 per month, god knows how much more to lease another 10. Most fatally, the fuel tank won't be enough to supply all of them, it won't even be enough for the 10 stands. To supply enough fuel for all the planes that would use this airport, means to stack another 2 of the same tanks.

Thus, the decision is made. Buy another 5 tanks, and lease another 5. 15 stands, there's enough surplus budget to lease them.

A letter is sent to the Kuala Lumpur Airport Authority.

To whom it may concern,

Greetings! After some discussion, it was found that 10 stands is slightly too few for Nacradian operations, considering the amount of enemies we are facing. It was found that 5 more stands would be enough to allow mostly smooth operations. Thus, the Nacradian Air Force would like to lease an additional 5 stands, and will pay the fees accordingly.

Yours,
John Miller
General of the Nacradian Air Force

Meanwhile, the contractor that they bought the tanks from was contacted again. An order for 5 tanks were made, and there was surplus stock. The tanks are hauled to the airport, and installed.

Dr. Francis dlT. Cui, DBA
Malacañan de Cebu, Cebu City, DH
May 5th, AD 2020
1422 PHT

"Are we ready?" Francis asked. It wasn't every day that he spoke to the press, preferring to let the results of his policies speak for themselves, something his Chief of Staff, Ace de la Victoria, found amusing. Ace had served two presidents and found himself long in the tooth, but it did not diminish his wit.
As all heads nodded in approval, Francis went to the press room. It was less crowded than before, though the smaller number did not translate into a more quiet group. It did, on the other hand, mean that the usual suspects were more recognizable; seeing Janine Paican from the Visayan Confederate News Network, Harold Capoy from Visayan Television, Aldrin Franco from Mercury News, Jessica Salazar from Abante Bisaya, and Aubrey Chen from Celestial News stand out more meant that Francis was going to enjoy the questions.
"Good afternoon," he began, standing behind the lectern as he started. "I would like to begin this speech with a quote from the late Eliezer Wiesel:
"'I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant.' If part of this quote sounds familiar to you, that would be because this is the same quote that opened my speech to the Jewish Visayan community during the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz.
"This brings us to the reason for my speech today: as many of you know, the Confederation maintains a position of armed neutrality. We would not interfere in a fight that is not our own. Alas, however, when the opposition is considered an enemy of all mankind, by default, the fight is guaranteed to be a fight we must get involved in. This is the case in the fight against slavery: by his actions, the slaver wages war against all nations, and as a signatory to the Amistad Declaration, this is a war the Confederation can ill afford to sit out, contrary to the cries of those who still abide by strict Westphalian interpretations of sovereignty which deny others to right to criticize certain actions as barbaric when said actions are the internal policies of a nation-state." Francis paused for a sip of water.
"That Tupeia engages in slavery to this day is an affront to the concept that freedom is a right inherent to all of humanity. That virtually all of its slave stock is operated on in such a way as to make its slaves, for all intents and purposes, zombies is an even greater insult to humanity. Yes, the reports are true: the methods Tupeia uses to enslave its population effectively kills them before making them essentially unliving cyborgs. Against an enemy like that, who dooms its victims to a fate worse than mere death, who among you would not raise their voice in censure? Who among you would not speak out against an enemy that vows to raze your churches, rape your women and children, and mold you into nothing more than living robots? Who among you would not find it in themselves to send these modern-day Hitlers to their long-overdue judgment?
"To those of you who think that the fight against Tupeia is not a fight we should participate in, I ask you this: if word were to reach you that three hundred thousand men, women, and children were killed off over the span of six weeks by an occupying force, how would you respond? If one and a half million people were killed off merely on account of their ethnicity or religious beliefs over the span of two years, what would your response be? If you claim shock and horror, wouldn't you act? Or would you leave those who survive to burn? Think about this: the notion that no one has the right to criticize what it sees as a practice beyond the pale because said practice is the policy of a nation-state was put paid in the Nuremberg Trials; gone are the days where one can get away with being party to the Holocaust. Gone are the days where people simply submitted to unjust laws; St. Augustine once said that such laws are not laws at all. Gone are the days where John C. Calhoun need not rest easy because Andrew Jackson never took the opportunity to hang him high. This is a time for the Hirohitos to repent, a time to rise up against the injustices brought by today's Pol Pots, a time to deliver the Himmlers of today to their long-awaited judgment.
"And while the enemies of all mankind still draw breath, there can be no peace in this world." At that, Francis found himself facing a veritable gauntlet of questions from the mediamen in the press room. His responses were short and simple, but in minutes, the speech made its way through every form of media.
