Tyrman-Phoenixian and Xekniyan War (IC)(MT)(RETCON)

[Great Humania]

The Tyrman Subjection of Phoenixia and Xekniya

In the year of 1998. The Phoenixians instigated a war on the region of Xekniya that cost many lives of members of the Phoenixian National Armed Forces. 10 years later, the administration that was elected in the year of 2004 worked on a peace treaty that will end the war and return all territories that were captured by both sides, this treaty also included that the government of Phoenixia recognizes the Free State of Xekniya as an autonomous province. However, in the year of 2020, a man named Gustavek Khaloksov from a presumed dead LNP party was elected into power. Later into his administration, there were falsified reports circulating around Phoexia, such examples were Xekniyan militants were killing innocent Phoenxian militants. Gustavek Khaloksov used this opportunity to initiate the mobilization of the Phoenixian armed forces to be used against the Free State of Xekniya and start a second war between the Xekniyans and the Phoenixians. 15 years later the government of Phoenixia and the Free State of Xekniya signed a peace treaty that stated that all Phoenixian military forces are to withdraw from the Free State of Xekniya. However, there is another opponent to fight the Free State of Xekniya.

Around the 1980s there was a coup d'etat against the ruling emperor of Tyr by the radicalized Ashtere Tyr party. After the coup, the Tyrman State "now controlled by the Ashtere Tyr", successfully occupied its neighbors to "establish a living space for the pure Tyrman people", the inhabitants of the occupied territories are either sent to concentration camps or sold as slaves. 50 years later, they have returned with their ambitious ways, to find resources and a source of non-Tyrman human labour. They looked at nations they can enslave. Xekniya was one of them. Soon a military buildup was established in the colony of Markinian Tyria and as soon the Phoenixians withdraw from the area, the Tyrman military began to attack and enslave the Xekniyans. Intelligence coming to the Higher Military Council stated that Phoenixia has let the Guanjo forces to enter Phoenixia from the ports, seeing this as a weak spot on the Xekniyan front, they have declared war on the National Republic of Phoenixia.


As the ships of the Lesula sea fleet arrived near the Markinian Tyr colony. The ships that contained the ground forces harbored at one of the ports, the one leaving the ships belong to not only the Grand Imperial Army but the Armed Wing of the Ashtere as well. Meanwhile, at the militia headquarters, the general that was sent in advance received a message, a message from the person they fear the most.

Code: Select all

From: Ashtere Party Director Akhman Tila
To: The General Staff of the forces in Markinian Tyria
Encryption: High

    To whom it may concern. The Supreme Leader has tasked us to protect one of our main suppliers from the hands of our potential enemies. The Phoenixians has possibly opened a blind spot that we cannot look away from. As orders from the Supreme Leader, we’re tasked to protect our supplier at all costs. These are the plans that were drafted by the Imperial Military Council’s High Command. Good Luck and may he reward you well. Remember your family is on the line.

Lival Valley, Žeknija
1st Lieutenant Jisan 'Zani' Kôzka

The trek to the line was exhausting, Zani felt a wave of relief as he saw the outlines of Outpost Eseren. Twenty or so hungry and tired Grenadiers were marching behind him. There were men already, the ŽNA fighters Zani was supposed to rendezvous with. His Grenadiers had been out here since before the Tyrian declaration of war. Now, they were going to the place they once considered a hostile stronghold to help fight a common enemy.

"Hello, brother. We have been awaiting you, my name is Colonel Ikal Jisman" a bearded man came up to meet him with a genuine smile on his face. "What is your name, brother?"

"I am 1st Lieutenant Jisan Kôzka, but you can call me Zani," the lieutenant reached out his hand and matched the smile. The handshake was met, and they proceeded into camp.

His First Sergeant ran up to him, and in a hushed tone said, "I didn't trust a dukh then, why should we trust them now, Zani?"

"Circumstances change, they are on our side now. Now, fuck off Eikmann." Eikmann raised his eyebrows and did a mock salute as he fell back into line.

This outpost couldn't really be much more similar to what Zani had experienced before. Everyone was having a good time, cleaning their weapons and drinking around a fire. His men dispersed around the camp and started joining in the fun. The Colonel led him into a small hut with a modest desk and three chairs.

"This is ironic, yes? My father was a big figure in local crime syndicates and he would always say, 'the enemy of the enemy is my friend.' So, I welcome you as a friend, Zani."

"I'm sorry for all we have wronged you in past years. War is chaos, and I am glad we have you on our side now."

"Let us talk strategy." They sat and talked for a couple hours until Jisman blew out the candle and bid Zani good night.

[Phoenxia]

Lival Valley
Zani

Gunfire bagan early in the morning. Zani leaped out of bed like he had so many times before. This wasn't just engagements in the distance. It was one or two clicks away. The ŽNA or ŽLA was probably hammering away at some poor Tyrian motorized convoy. He slipped on his pants, looped his belt, then his shirt, not even buttoning it, and finally his chest rig. Combat is a shame, such a beautiful sunrise was revealing itself over the mountains. Zani marched out to the defensive positions, Eikmann had been up for the past couple hours, so had Jisman. "What is the situation?"

"Jisman's men are drawing the Tyrmen to the slaughter hole we have on this hilltop here, the enemy will be distraught by the heavy firefight you can hear now, sir," Eikmann pointed out the four MG nests positioned along the defensive perimiter of the outpost.

"I wish you the luck of the spirits today, Zani. We are among the chosen people on this day," Jisman had a smile on his face as he looked through a pair of ancient binos from the era of the Markonian war.

Zani pulled out a hand rolled cigarette and clicked at his lighter until he got a light, "We are definitely on the right side of history today, how long have you been fighting, Ikal?"

"Since 1999, my family was killed in what you call a hellfire raid, I was 16. The ŽNA took me in. I am willing to forgive, my people are now in greater danger than they were before. At least Phoenixia was not attempting to decimate my culture." The old man began to smile, a dust cloud began to form on the horizon, the Žeknijan fighters began to whoop and holler. Zani took the binos and looked through them.

"Holy... shit, battle stations, everyone!" It looked like an entire brigade coming, they were already under fire by a large force of militants. Zani loaded a magazine in his rifle and ran into a trench. "Holy fuck Eikmann, this is a whole god damn shitstorm," he clutched his cigarette between his teeth as he readied his weapon and checked his gear.

"You're telling me, this is a larger force than we have been against in all of our rotations out here, I'm just glad we have those crazy bastards on our side," Eikmann laughed as he too readied his weapon. It was only a few minutes later when Zani's eardrums began to explode. He popped up and began laying down fire on the wave of Tyrmen.

"Christ, that is a lot of guys," there were 60 or 70 down there already face down and counting. The plan was working. Up above them higher in the valley were militant MG positions laying down heavy supressive fire, but the waves kept coming. Zani tapped the arm of the radio boy and did the universal gesture for 'give it.' He got handed the radio and got to work. "Dragon, this is Whitefox 2-0, copy?"

The radio crackled familiarly, "Whitefox 2-0, I copy. What is your situation?"

"We are in the piss. Under fire from estimated two-thousand mechanized. Requesting zippo on convoy in Alpha-2 Lima-3. Copy."

There was a pause as the operator must have been checking their map."Roger, dispatching zippo." The ten or so minutes following, waiting for air support was an eternity, but this very gunship coming had enough munitions to destroy an entire armored division or more. But finally, it came.

The glorious Etsch A322, one could hear it from over the horizon with it's six turboprop wing mounted engines. The Phönixluft only had 2 of them, as gunships at least. It came into view, militants started whooping and cheering as the first howitzer shell slammed into an APC, and the 30mm chain guns began ripping into the masses of Tyrmen. It seemed to have triggered a full retreat, slowly but surely. They made sure to keep up suppression so no shoulder fired rockets could get a shot at the bird.

ANN: Arcadian Demands in Tyria

With the Tyria-Phoenixian war beginning in western Dreveska adding to more violence in the region the Arcadian government has issued a statement calling for Markion Union involvement in containing Tyrian aggression in the country. The Arcadian government has issued clear and defined war goals for the possible conflict in the region and they are as following:

1. To the defense of the sovereignty or the Jelenik and Phoenixian people, and the establishment of the Xexnyian Republic.
2. The complete demilitarization of Tyrian colonies in Markion, but they will remain in Tyrian control
3. During the establishment of the Xexnyian Republic half of the Jelenik lands will be occupied by NWA forces while the other half will fall under the Markion union and after 365 all foreign forces will withdraw from the country uniting the two sides with an election overseen by a neutral party.
4. Reform of the Tyrian state with an ASAF and NWA mission in the country once the conflict has come to an end

Points 2 and 4 are to be used only in the case of escalation of this conflict and many in the Arcadian government hopes this will force both parties of the current conflict to come to an agreement o peave.

[Terestroi]

Gostilka Otok, Near Phoenixian National Waters
Admiral Davignon Beule

The Admiral had done it, he had passed the GDU blockade without incident, save the escort now following them. Thankfully the leaders of the NWA and GDU had sorted out their issues and the intervention could finally go forward. The AMC strike force was large enough to secure the entirety of Phoenixia, let alone Xekniya, however, orders were to take it one day at a time and wait for any possible openings to advance the NWA mandate for Phoenixia. Davignon hoped this would be a short intervention, yet he wasn't so sure it would be. Drejveska was a place of seemingly constant conflict, death and authoritarianism. While Authority wasn't so bad if kept in check, there seemed to be no end to conflicts in Drejveska but the same could be said for Markion itself with the two empires propping up puppets like Urlistan and Urilas... strange how those two had such similar names.

But now was not the time to ponder on what might have been a previous Amlug colony from the age of discovery, now was the time to focus upon the task at hand. An assistant approached the Admiral with some unease. The Admiral took a puff from his pipe and blew the smoke into the open air, "have you something for me, good sir?" The assistant looked at his commanding officer of forty-eight and managed to squeak something out, "Yes sir, the Tyrmen have deployed a large force of reinforcements at one of their ports near the Tyrman-Phoenixian border." the Admiral took the papers in the man's hand and began to look over it. "That's Xekniyan country, boy, don't you forget it. Go prepare me some coffee, make yourself one if you want, once this all starts we'll have a few long nights ahead of us." The assistant nodded and went back into the ship.

The key to all this was Xekniya, secure it and it may keep Phoenixia safe from the main fighting allowing the AMC forces to keep the Tyrmen at bay, with no small help from the GDU... hopefully.

Öste, Phoenixian National Waters just outside Vietschen
Admiral Davignon Beule

Vietschen was a fascinating city. A jewel under the clear night sky of Phoenixia. Glowing and gleaming, skyscrapers dotted the city with the occasional mall and hundreds of high street shops. Fishing boats and yachts were docked at the civilian harbour and people seemed to try and get on with life as the war raged on. Must be that Arcadian reparation money kicking in, the Admiral thought to himself. Although Vietschen looked pretty enough, it seemed that was all it was built to be, rather than have any practical or functional planning behind it. Vietschen appeared to be an investment to bring in tourists and show a nice side to Phoenixia, giving it a better outside view of the country that was truly full of civil unrest, war criminals and an outdated culture that desperately needed civilising.

Davignon, caught mid daydream again by his assistant, snapped back to reality. "Sir, transport is waiting for you and Phoenixian officials are readying for our arrival at the Öste Provincial Capitol Building. Their escort is prepared to take us there." The Admiral looked at his assistant, a boy of only 19. "Thank you... Pierre, isn't it?" The young man perked up, "yes sir, Pierre Manoul, I've been assigned to you for this campaign." The old man tapped his pipe upsidedown on his arm, allowing the warm but not hot burnt tobacco to break and fall out of the pipe's cup. He brushed off the ash and turned to his aide, "well then Pierre, if you're going to be an officer one day you best pay good attention, tonight you will practice etiquette and diplomacy with the Phoenixians, this will be difficult considering how barbaric their people are but should do you some good for future endeavours." The admiral began to make his way back through the ship to his transport waiting for him, Pierre followed.

"Ultimately we are here to ensure peace in the region, but we have other orders direct from Guevill." Pierre grew curious and spoke up, trying not to interrupt or appear rude, "excuse me sir, but what orders do we have from the capital?" The admiral stopped and turned to the boy, "These people have been oppressed by dictators for decades, their newer systems are shambles, they can't even inspire true unity without an outside force invading. This country is a near failed state and I'll not allow them to suffer anymore, we must win this war, severe their ties from the GDU and move them towards a bright future in the NWA." The assistant was a little taken back by the seriousness of his commanding officer but spoke anyway, "very good, sir." Davignon smiled. "Feel free to speak your mind, my boy, I want to know what my men think, even if they disagree," the pair continued to walk at a faster pace than before, "but for now, allow what I've said to set in and tell me your thoughts later. Right now, we've a meeting to attend."

Vietschen, Phoenixia

After driving through the city in a small but no less expensive motorcade, the Admiral finally arrived alongside his assistant and the Terestroian ambassador who sat with him. Time to make history, he thought to himself. The door opened and they were met by the Phoenixian External Minister, Milo Reova.

NWA Responds To Arcadian Influence In Phoenixia

The Alliance President, Asa Teluumo, has made a statement today regarding the recent release of war goals from the Arcadian government:

"It is clear that Arcadia is willing to let the newly spawned Markion Union intervene because it will do nothing but allow Arcadia to flood the nation with its influence due to its toothless nature. The NWA recognise that the Federation seems to at least be acting with more care towards the people of Xekniya and believe that perhaps we would be willing to work with Arcadia in the defence of Phoenixia. However, we will not allow either powers to turn the country into a colony of Arcadia or Tyria. I will reiterate: We will not allow the country to become the puppet of a foreign power! We ask those not shackled to Arcadia's will in the Markion Union to veto and deny the Federation the war they seek as this is exactly the kind of outcome that does a disservice to the people of Phoenixia and encourages rampant colonialism and imperialism! The Arcadians claimed to be freeing and aiding Urlistan but it has become nothing more than a puppet for Arcadian Imperialist lies. We will not let that happen here."

The President went on to talk about the fate of Tyria after the war and said that any Arcadian involvement in the demilitarisation of Tyria would only benefit their empire in their cold war against Sevevill.

Press Release From the Secretary of Foreign Affairs

The North West Alliance's concerns are just with the late Empire's actions, but the Arcadian federation is dedicated to protecting the sovereignty of those threatened by Tyrian aggression in this conflict. The Arcadian Federation has no desire to create client states or any acts of colonialism in the region. Once this conflict comes to an end Arcadian forces will be reduced in the region, and full accountability of Arcadian officials and soldiers left in the area will be maintained by the NWA as a gesture in good faith. Peace in this region is the Federation's utmost goal and we invite the NWA to a video conference with the Arcadian chancellory to address their concerns and hopefully begin a meaningful partnership for peace.

Provincial Capitol of Öste, Vietschen

Milo K. Reova walked out the doors of the provincial capitol with the Phoenixian delegation. This conference meant life or death for his country. If they could not agree on terms for NWA involvement, Tyria would surely kill all that the Phoenixian people hold dear. "Prijet, Amisen!" he greeted the Terestoian delegation with what some would call a customer service smile. The man in front seemed to be a gruff naval officer, perhaps an admiral. Milo reached his hand out only for it to be met with the firm grasp only a battle hardened sailor could offer. The delegation then turned around and went inside.

The conference was held in a committee meeting room. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as question after question was asked by a councilman or a Terestoian diplomat, and then the awaited answer was delayed by the translator. It seemed to go on for hours, just the back and forth, the negotiations were inching into favor of the NWA little by little until resolution was made.

At the end, all shook hands across the table. NWA involvement in the conflict was now effectively authorized by the foreign ministry. Phoenixia was seen as saved, and the risk of literal invasion by the NWA had simply faded away.

Operation Black Cauldron
As the forces that were already there distract Phoenixians and the Xekniyans. The Main forces arrived on the peninsula. Elite forces such as the 51st and the 53rd Mountain Division were sent directly to the front lines to engage the Phoenixians while the 5th Special Purpose Division code name Ghost Division tried to sneak into Phoenixia through its neighbors. The situation at the command center is tense as the 4 generals attempt to predict and strike the enemy forces.

An’tinom
Members of ISOF-Arma have arrived at Atinom after a long operation in Xekniya. Some of them returned with spoils, others checked their kits and cleaned their weapons, waiting for the next operation to be assigned to them. An operator named Alban was handed his next assignment into Xekniya. In this assignment, he met his new platoon mates, their names were Zofiya, Dohan, Lan’zo and Taroz. A senior lieutenant will introduce them to him.

“So we’re handed a new assignment, what’s this assignment about?”-

“There were suppose to be some unknown soldiers with full military fatigues supporting the Xenik Liberation Army, we are sent to identify and deal with these unknown soldiers hopefully without being seen”- Alban Herey

“This will be easy. This is would be like the training we did back then” - Feliks Zastova

“Hmm Mmm” - Alban Herey

“Hey how come you never talk about your family Alban? Do you want to reunite with them after your military service is over?” -Feliks Zastova

Alban pauses for a moment, he looks at [name]. “I’m afraid that my relationship with my family is complicated…”- Alban Herey


“How come?” - Feliks Zastova

Alban pauses again.. “My mother did somethi-” When Alban opened the door, he saw 5 individuals he had never seen before.

Hello Altus said the unknown lieutenant. Alban is confused. The random lieutenant introduced Alban to his new squad. Alban this is your new squadmates, this Private 2nd Class Zofiya Flore, Gefreiter Dohan Lorize, Private Lan’zo Adana, and Private 1st Class Taroz Aré said the Lieutenant.

These are cadets that have been accepted to overlook the operation to see you guys hows to operate behind enemy lines.You are responsible for their safety and if you fail such deed then their are severe conse - Lieutenant

Severe Consequence yea yea yea - Alban

Good, I’ll be off then. Make sure you listen to your squad leader cadets - Lieutenant

We will be off by tomorrow so get some good rest and get ready - Alban

Zani

Gunfire bagan early in the morning. Zani leaped out of bed like he had so many times before. This wasn't just engagements in the distance. It was one or two clicks away. The ŽNA or ŽLA was probably hammering away at some poor Tyrian motorized convoy. He slipped on his pants, looped his belt, then his shirt, not even buttoning it, and finally his chest rig. Combat is a shame, such a beautiful sunrise was revealing itself over the mountains. Zani marched out to the defensive positions, Eikmann had been up for the past couple hours, so had Jisman. "What is the situation?"

"Jisman's men are drawing the Tyrmen to the slaughter hole we have on this hilltop here, the enemy will be distraught by the heavy firefight you can hear now, sir," Eikmann pointed out the four MG nests positioned along the defensive perimiter of the outpost.

"I wish you the luck of the spirits today, Zani. We are among the chosen people on this day," Jisman had a smile on his face as he looked through a pair of ancient binos from the era of the Markonian war.

Zani pulled out a hand rolled cigarette and clicked at his lighter until he got a light, "We are definitely on the right side of history today, how long have you been fighting, Ikal?"

"Since 1999, my family was killed in what you call a hellfire raid, I was 16. The ŽNA took me in. I am willing to forgive, my people are now in greater danger than they were before. At least Phoenixia was not attempting to decimate my culture." The old man began to smile, a dust cloud began to form on the horizon, the Žeknijan fighters began to whoop and holler. Zani took the binos and looked through them.

"Holy... shit, battle stations, everyone!" It looked like an entire brigade coming, they were already under fire by a large force of militants. Zani loaded a magazine in his rifle and ran into a trench. "Holy fuck Eikmann, this is a whole god damn shitstorm," he clutched his cigarette between his teeth as he readied his weapon and checked his gear.

"You're telling me, this is a larger force than we have been against in all of our rotations out here, I'm just glad we have those crazy bastards on our side," Eikmann laughed as he too readied his weapon. It was only a few minutes later when Zani's eardrums began to explode. He popped up and began laying down fire on the wave of Tyrmen.

"Christ, that is a lot of guys," there were 60 or 70 down there already face down and counting. The plan was working. Up above them higher in the valley were militant MG positions laying down heavy supressive fire, but the waves kept coming. Zani tapped the arm of the radio boy and did the universal gesture for 'give it.' He got handed the radio and got to work. "Dragon, this is Whitefox 2-0, copy?"

The radio crackled familiarly, "Whitefox 2-0, I copy. What is your situation?"

"We are in the piss. Under fire from estimated two-thousand mechanized. Requesting zippo on convoy in Alpha-2 Lima-3. Copy."

There was a pause as the operator must have been checking their map."Roger, dispatching zippo." The ten or so minutes following, waiting for air support was an eternity, but this very gunship coming had enough munitions to destroy an entire armored division or more. But finally, it came.

The glorious Etsch A322, one could hear it from over the horizon with it's six turboprop wing mounted engines. The Phönixluft only had 2 of them, as gunships at least. It came into view, militants started whooping and cheering as the first howitzer shell slammed into an APC, and the 30mm chain guns began ripping into the masses of Tyrmen. It seemed to have triggered a full retreat, slowly but surely. They made sure to keep up suppression so no shoulder fired rockets could get a shot at the bird.

The Reponse to the recent air attacks by Phoenixia

A light military vehicle arrives at the border, containing in the trunk is a package which would deal with the Phoenixian Estch A322 The soldier shoulders his Aebli Tre (Hawk 3) MANPAD and begins to aim at the enemy Estch A322. A rhythimized beep is starting to get longer, a long beep has sounded. A missile was launched, locking on to the enemies Estch A322. 6 seconds later, the missile hit their target. The Estch A322 can be seen up in flames and descending back to the Earth.

ANN: Arcadian Demands in Tyria

With the Tyria-Phoenixian war beginning in western Dreveska adding to more violence in the region the Arcadian government has issued a statement calling for Markion Union involvement in containing Tyrian aggression in the country. The Arcadian government has issued clear and defined war goals for the possible conflict in the region and they are as following:

1. To the defense of the sovereignty or the Jelenik and Phoenixian people, and the establishment of the Xexnyian Republic.
2. The complete demilitarization of Tyrian colonies in Markion, but they will remain in Tyrian control
3. During the establishment of the Xexnyian Republic half of the Jelenik lands will be occupied by NWA forces while the other half will fall under the Markion union and after 365 all foreign forces will withdraw from the country uniting the two sides with an election overseen by a neutral party.
4. Reform of the Tyrian state with an ASAF and NWA mission in the country once the conflict has come to an end

Points 2 and 4 are to be used only in the case of escalation of this conflict and many in the Arcadian government hopes this will force both parties of the current conflict to come to an agreement o peave.

The Green Union Loyalist and Kamooko Pact ambassador, Delvin Solymós, spoke in the MU security council today to express outrage at Arcadia's actions. As far as Solymós was concerned, FASC's call to arms is a thinly-veiled attempt to colonize more of Markion, expanding their empire's influence into Krežnosk. Ambassador Solymós went on to talk about how, despite claiming to have turned over a new leaf, the new Federation of Arcadian States and Commonwealths has so far been every bit as expansionist and belligerent as the old Arcadian Empire. "At this point," he said, "I have been given no reason to believe that FASC is different from the GRA in any way besides name."

The ambassador criticized each of the Federation's planned points in turn, reasoning through Kamooko's objection. Firstly, he noted that defence of sovereignty is a tired Arcadian excuse, having been used recently in Altaguay, Urlistan, and September Island to justify disastrous invasion and occupation.

The second point he dismissed in confusion, saying that it was clearly contradicted by point four and only serves to tip the balance of power in Krežnosk against Tyria. For a state in this volatile region of Markion to be disarmed is utterly ludicrous. Arcadia's plan is clearly aimed to cause more chaos in the area, which, if their handling of this current crisis is anything to go off, is meant to create more chaos which they can exploit to expand their influence.

The last two proposals to split up the belligerent powers amongst the North Western Alliance and Markion Union/ASAF is particularly disturbing. Besides being a flagrant violation of sovereignty, one year is nowhere near long enough to reform these states into something new. Such a hard pullout date will cause the region to fall into chaos yet again, allowing foreign powers to come in and continue to carve up Krežnosk for themselves.

Throughout his speech, the KP delegate expressed horror at how the Arcadian proposal seemed to use the terms of MU and ASAF interchangeably. The Markion Union, he opined, should not be called on to fulfill ASAF foreign policy, and the ASAF should not have the MU backing its imperialist ambitions. He would call on the North West Alliance to reject this Arcadian plan, and vowed to veto any resolution in the MU to intervene in this conflict.

Provincial Capitol of Öste, Vietschen

Milo K. Reova walked out the doors of the provincial capitol with the Phoenixian delegation. This conference meant life or death for his country. If they could not agree on terms for NWA involvement, Tyria would surely kill all that the Phoenixian people hold dear. "Prijet, Amisen!" he greeted the Terestoian delegation with what some would call a customer service smile. The man in front seemed to be a gruff naval officer, perhaps an admiral. Milo reached his hand out only for it to be met with the firm grasp only a battle hardened sailor could offer. The delegation then turned around and went inside.

The conference was held in a committee meeting room. The atmosphere was extremely tense, as question after question was asked by a councilman or a Terestoian diplomat, and then the awaited answer was delayed by the translator. It seemed to go on for hours, just the back and forth, the negotiations were inching into favor of the NWA little by little until resolution was made.

At the end, all shook hands across the table. NWA involvement in the conflict was now effectively authorized by the foreign ministry. Phoenixia was seen as saved, and the risk of literal invasion by the NWA had simply faded away.

Admiral Davignon Beule

Not only was that the shortest conference Davignon had been to, but it was also the most successful. The Phoenixians had agreed to everything put forward by the NWA. Their military force would now take their orders from the Admiral, a task that Beule was not looking forward to but had to be done. Most if not all of their hierarchy and infrastructure would remain in place until after the war when some of the larger reforms would come. As well as this, Phoenixia was to become a new member of the NWA after the war and begin the formal leaving of the GDU. The ambassador sent to negotiate with these Phoenixians was tactful as he was tenacious, whenever it seemed like the Phoenixians would say no he managed to wrangle even more out of them, he truly had a silver tongue, but Davignon guessed that his presence in the room gave some gravitas to the situation.

As well as the former, Phoenixia's military would be completely reformed and given with new weapons and equipment after the war along with Xekniya be given the option to completely break away from Phoenixia and become an independent nation, sponsored by the NWA of course. This was it, the true beginning or the end of the NWA, if the NWA was successful here, they would be on their way to unshackling Markion from imperialism. Davignon could see it now, all of the puppet states of Arcadia and Sevevill being freed and joining the NWA, eventually becoming powerful enough to bring the fight to either one of the empires and not only free but unite the region. The KP could easily be tolerated in the meantime if they did not want to embark on this righteous endeavour.

However, if the NWA was not successful, it might make them a target, an irritating flea on the backs of the empires that could be swept away. The thought was terrible, but the only way to keep those thoughts at bay was to do something. The Admiral exited the conference hall as the media took pictures and reported on the situation. The NWA diplomats would be taken to the capital with all of their attaches and become advisors to Phoenixian leadership. The journey back was short, the Admiral had a lot on his mind and when he finally got back to his ship and military advisors sent to the Phoenixian military command, some of the fleet began offloading and rest began heading to an area that would become their home for however long this mission would last. A new base of operations would be set up near Kassau the capital, two additional bases would be set up in Volodovka and a central position between those bases, effectively covering most of the border. Frigates and submarines were immediately sent out on patrol routes. The time had come to bring the Tyrmen to their knees.

Press Release From the Secretary of Foreign Affairs

The North West Alliance's concerns are just with the late Empire's actions, but the Arcadian federation is dedicated to protecting the sovereignty of those threatened by Tyrian aggression in this conflict. The Arcadian Federation has no desire to create client states or any acts of colonialism in the region. Once this conflict comes to an end Arcadian forces will be reduced in the region, and full accountability of Arcadian officials and soldiers left in the area will be maintained by the NWA as a gesture in good faith. Peace in this region is the Federation's utmost goal and we invite the NWA to a video conference with the Arcadian chancellory to address their concerns and hopefully begin a meaningful partnership for peace.

NWA Delivers Request For Cooperation

After the Federation of Arcadian States & Commonwealths replied to the NWA's president regarding the concern of imperialism and subjugation. The NWA's International Officer, Gaspard de Guevill, made a stand against the hollow words of the Arcadian Secretary of Foreign Affairs stating this:

"We are glad that you are dedicated to protecting the sovereignty of those threatened by Tyrian aggression in this conflict. We are glad that you have no desire to create client states or any acts of colonialism in the region. Please show this by kindly standing down and not getting involved. We have the situation under control and you would do best to stop killing your own fathers, sons, mothers and daughters in fruitless conflicts like September Island where you sent thousands of soldiers to their deaths against fortified positions with no hope of winning. I ask the Arcadian people if they want more of their conscripted family members to die for the Arcadian government's lust for more lands and colonies."

No ultimatum was given if the Arcadians do not heed this demand, but it is now known that more NWA forces are being mustered in Nulaar, Guanja, where they are heading is unknown, but it may be the case that no explanation is required.

GRA Today: ASAF handling responsibility of Phonexia to the NWA

Today in a gesture of goodwill to the NWA, the Arcadian Federation is withholding from getting involved in the conflict between Phoenixia and Tryia. The Arcadian forces in the country will remain for 6 months before returning to the pretension garrison of one airborne brigade. The commandant of Engelmann Kaserne in a partner statement with the Defense Department has stated that: "Arcadian military involvement is off the table, but any threat to Arcadian life in the Kaserne will be dealt with using appropriate measures." With two of these brigades being sent home in six months, the Kaserne is expected to return to normal garrison operations.

The Crimson Night
18 squads of the 5th Special Purposes Division began crossing the border into Phoenixia in the middle of the night. Their mission was to raid and harass the Phoenixians and the allied forces of the Phoenixians. Equipped with night vision, thermal optics(DMRs and LMGs), suppressed weapons, and some explosives, they scout the area for any military facilities that belong to the Phoenixians. One of these encounters was an enemy patrol on the I-8 freeway, consisting of 6 riflemen. The assault squad dealt with the enemy patrol with a quick surprise attack with no friendly casualties, they searched their bodies and found an active radio. The squad leader called HQ and told them what they found, they relayed the information to HQ and continued on with their mission.
