Having not traveled very far from Tehraan. The Islands of Yap and Palau were now going to begin the attack. Supported by forces from Tehraan. The Navies task was to eliminate the Japanese naval forces in the vicinity and establish see control. Should landing forces on these Island become necessary It would be done. However the main goal was to make sure that any bases on those Islands used by the Japanese were taken out. Especially those used by ships and aircraft.
On the Bridge of the HUD Ikalrem, Admiral Nerakan watched his strategic Display. The first part of the mission was very much in the Tehraani favor. The proximity between Tehraan and their first target Islands was so close they could even send basic fighter aircraft outside of Tehraani airspace to attack targets should they wish, not to speak of their even longer ranged cruise missiles that could be deployed from surface installations. However although Palau and Yap were the first targets they could easily extent the battle farther out. As long range cruise missiles and their longer ranged [url]=http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80610&p=3863482#p3863482CSu-35BMN[/url]s and D6N Ikarem Fighters on the carries based could reach to Guam and beyond. This level of support the Tehraanians possed would compensate for the Generally larger Japanese Fleets.
"Begin Launching standard air sorties. I want anAWACS and Combat Air Patrols in the air." Nerakan ordered. "Admiral, the Central HQ has directed several Globalhawks to recon the area. A total of 4 TTu-118 B and 6 MP-9 AUX Have been send to patrol our perimiter and edges of our national waters for Japanese Submarines. Aswell as 4 SM-10 Daimyo aircraft who will recon for enemy ships and submarines. We have permission to request aircraft from land to preform Maritime strikes and other mission if we require." The communication officer said, resiting the telegram they had receaved from Central HQ. "We'll just have to wait for a few passes by our Maritime radar satellites and we'll know more what we can expect from the Nips in this area."
"You think the Japanese have a lot of forces so close to Tehraan?" Junior Admiral Nagila asked in regards to the Japanese control of Pacific holding. "Why do you think were doing this, if the Japanese weren't so close we propably would have taken a more side line approach. But that aside. I will establish a more permanent Communication link with the Central HQ and then this operation can fully launch."

"That insane man. The Rat Emperor of Japan definitely has lost his mind. He hasn't realized his position." Nentayeg said after watching the broadcast. "We'll chance their views soon enough. Our forces are moving out. After this region is secure we can launch our fleets towards whatever Target we want. Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan or the Phillipenes. But Japan remains our main target." Kayameg responded.
"We have contact with Admiral Nerakan. The battle data uplink network has been established." High Admiral of the Northern Fleet reported.
"Good, than we can commence this war. Let's see what those Nips are capable of."
