AHA! And now I must finish my expanding!

Egyptian forces and their new Axumite brothers are preparing to invade and occupy Eritrea. This will occur after I am finished posting the Ekranoplan, Hyper War Chariot, and all my statistics.

On the other side of the hemisphere, the Kaiser is making plans for the annexation of Switzerland. We pretty much know the Swiss will immediately scurry up their mountains as soon as they hear a single peep out of us, the Gebirgsjaegers, Fallschirmjaegers, and Leichte Panzer Divisions are being prepared for action.

In enya, Kenyan opposition has been concentrated on the souththern front. We are speedily advancing in the north and have captured much land there, including the land that will become Finland's after the war.

In the south, we are pushing towards the forces already preparing for an advancement into Nairobi, and the entire coast has been captured since we have been landing many supplies at Mombasa.

Mombasa has become our strategic base of command for the war, and we are currently asking the Army engineers to expand port facilities to allow for the landing of much more equipment to help fight this war.

Finnish forces have proven their great use to us, and accompanied by a couple marine divisions, they are now sweeping around from Mombasa to the north of Nairobi, so that when the time comes, we may execute a swift invasion of the capital. Here is the situation: We have a pocket of Paratroopers holding the international airport and some surrounding areas at Nairobi, holding the field so that our C-130s may continue to land supplies. Army divisions to the south are experiencing the heaviest of Kenya's last resistance, but we expect them to push through by tomorrow. The Finns and some marines are sweeping around to the north to complete or surrounding of the city. We should be ready to fully invade the city in three days, and then we will give reports on its capture.

Im just going to point out that no one touches Switzerland. EVER. As a nation they are always neutral, and have been so for centuries. That being said, even if you do annex it, Switzerland is not very useful considering that the population would never fight, especially for the Kaiser/Pharaoh, and would not contribute much to your country other than being able to say "I conquered the only peaceful nation on the planet"

Permalink

That's the whole point. The Swiss are the only peaceful nation, therefore, they must be made as warlike and barbaric as the rest of us.

Economically, the annexation of Switzerland will be the worst thing to happen to it in a LONG time. The main reason the Swiss are so wealthy is because their (for the most part, due to the Alps) forced neutrality. People use Swiss banks so much because Switzerland will most likely never be invaded. And the very mild taxes and regulations. I’m sure no one would want some huge superpower to come in and start imposing it’s laws on the banks. Even if you do decide to invade them, I’m pretty sure it wont be an easy task getting your panzers into Switzerland. I wouldn’t count on any consistency in being supplied via helicopter. I’m sure the international community will not tolerate this.

Negotiations with Djibouti are going well. It seems most of the citizens had been watching as the situation in the rest of the world with growing concern, they thought for a long time they may be invaded. It seems now with Oceania approaching them with the choice of Annexation, protection, and continued freedom, rather than oppression by an invading empire, our proposal seems to be a good choice to them. Voting will now commence in the nation's capital, and we shall hear back on the results of the vote in a week or so.


Meanwhile, The carrier O.N.S. Sydney and her task force are being relived of their assignment off the coast of Myanmar. Things have died down enough in the region so that the need for a Carrier's presence is no longer needed. Sydney will be granted leave in Sydney.

One of our other active carriers, O.N.S. Melbourne, will be tasked with a new assignment. She, with three Australia class Battleships, and her group of four escort destroyers, will head to the Oil-rich island nation of Bahrain, where we will display a show of force, and try to convince them to peacefully join the union. (note: two of the battleships will be dropped at the U.A.C., as per their order a while ago).

Bohemia will begin the replacement of recently obtained Romanian military equipment. The outdated equipment will be scrapped and used in the automotive field, the same process of which previous Bohemian equipment was put through. This is being done in an effort to advance and improve the equipment and weapon systems Bohemian forces are currently using. With the addition of French equipment and Bohemian designers/factories working on new vehicles, we hope to make Bohemia more of a force to be reckoned with, both on the defense and offense.

On the Moldovan front, Bohemian forces are currently advancing towards Kagul, Tarakliya and Dezginzhe. Komrat was recently secured and security forces are taking the place of combat units. Bohemia hopes to deploy its newest vehicle before combat operations are completed, in order to evaluate the vehicle's performance in the current AO.
On the note of Romania, Bohemia will be increasing sorties to continue patrolling the rudimentary border with Rome.

In the USCA, we are barely meeting the demand for M1's. With sales rapidly increasing, our economy is showing very positive growth. Other areas of industry also are experiencing a rise of profit margins, as they able to cut out high gas costs. Our troops are now returning from the long training exercise in the desert. Many previous problems experienced in the Sand War have been solved for the most part, and soldiers are feeling much more confident about fighting in this previously alien terrain.
Permalink

That could actually go both ways, in my opinion. All though they [Russia and Senegal] are far different, Russia is pretty homogeneous and stands to be a strong state [minus be splintered now]. This means Russia could focus more on the needs of their minorities while still doing good for the majority. But, to each his own. I'll leave you alone now.

Reich translates to nothing more then "realm". Most incarnations of the German nation used it back to the 1000's AD, to WWII. No direct coloration to the WWII version.

With cluster ammo, most definitely. Think of the combination as a giant, nuclear powered robot shotgun.

Permalink

I love it. They're nuclear you say? Luckily I have a nice sized desert to put em in so the population doesn't get antsy
Permalink

Well, they're set up to be powered by a reactor. But not 'on site', you see; the idea is that they'd be in the turret of a tank powered by a nuke plant, and that'd charge the capacitors. But in a defensive system, I'd probably suggest hooking them up to a specially reinforced portion of the civil power grid. Diverting power from un-needed things to charge them quickly, people would complain about the street lights going off but nowhere near as loudly as if missiles had landed in their gardens.

In theory you could charge them with AA batteries, if you had enough and didn't mind taking all month. They aren't picky when it comes to power sources.

Aand they aren't technically 'railguns', a more correct term would be 'coilgun'. Less wear and tear, you see.

Well, aside from the fact that 250 copters is more than any single army on the planet at the current moment has, you seem to be a little confused. The underwing pods on the Sokol are perfectly normal ATGMs. The TKs are in the pod under the fuselage.

As for shipping, well, the idea is that you can send some folks to a nice deserted part of Chinese desert and they can give a launcher a good going over to see if it fits your needs. Oh, and the blowing stuff up. No point evaluating a missile launcher if you don't get to blow stuff up with it. It's not like there's a shortage of old Chinese tanks or anything.

Ok-in addition to SPRI, Aetha radar, a Space Program (culminating in the Indian Space Agency (ISA)), and our strategic bomber (which is entering manufacture)-India has been forced to begin research on a 'Patriot-like' anti-missile system called Arakas due to recent developments to the north.

If you guys are thinking "No way could an economy support all that" I ask you to understand that these are not Manhattan-project undertakings. These are handled by independent contractors and development rights are handed to the lowest bidder. Now the ISA, on the other hand, is a rather expensive undertaking.
Permalink

Don't be surprised if your jets rattle and there's some leftover bits.

As for spaceflight; I'm pretty sure India as of 2010 is already pretty far along in that area. You shouldn't have too much trouble de-mothballing their equipment.
Permalink

Well, the US has a rather large amount, in excess of 4,000. I've got 1,100.

Anyhow, that sounds like a good plan. How's about somewhere in Northern Tibet? That's about where India achieved the breakthrough, plenty of T-90 hulks lying around.

Ah, but are they all the same type, same model and fitted with the same weapons while being less than six months old?

Anywhere that's convenient should do.
It'll probably take a few days for them to get there, though. Long enough for you to set up a testing range representative of the environments you plan to use the system in.
I can assure you it works perfectly well in tundra and desert alike, I know better than to put something into military service that can't function in certain parts of my own territory.

In an astonishingly short amount of time, the Swiss air forces are nearly wiped out. However, they do have some teams of aces who continue to evade any and all attacks. The Kaiser plans to order his own ace squadrons to hunt them down one by one until complete air superiority is gained.

As of 12:00 hours today an army of two panzer divisions, one light panzer division and two infantry divisions has begun making their way towards the capital from Singen and Lake Konstanz in the northeast. As expected, heavy resistance has been encountered. The Swiss military is made up of some of the finest vehicles of their generation in Europe, and their fighting spirit is incredible. We actually fear they may think they have a real chance of defeating us; although we know they don't, for we have air support. In fact, now that the enemy skies are all but clear, level bomber strikes will commence to break enemy lines and render highways, railroads, factories, power plants, and almost everything else completely useless. Everything is going to get rebuilt afterward anyway, after all.

The USCA and Algeria have made a grave mistake...

They attacked a nation with arguably the greatest air force in the WORLD.

And, I'm their ally. You two have been needing a good lesson after all, and Egypt has been itching for a real fight against real opponents. You're not going to be the same after this, gentlemen.

With all this chaos breaking loose in Africa, Romaiki Aftokratoria has delivered an ultimatum to Lebanon, stating something along the lines of "Peaceful integration or unpeaceful subjugation." Yes, it's a mostly Muslim country, but ironically, most of my empire is Muslim, so it shouldn't be a problem. Plus, my uncle is from Lebanon and I like their food (it's south Italy all over again!).

Yes, I realize Lebanon has nothing to do with Africa. But as Anonymous teaches: Do it for the lulz.

250,000 men and equipments, a good deal of the troops station in E. Turkey (not the bulwark against potential Russian invasion) will be doing this, if it comes to war. Luckily, I have the transports left over from the Italian invasion, plus a meager navy to guard them. Lebanon has been strifed for some time though, so they can't be that problematic. Until the Jihadis come out, but that's another story.

Well, that should be useful, as the southern troops are now in position, and we have surrounded and commenced the attack on Nairobi.

Tanks and other units have begun rolling into the streets of Nairobi, where heavy fighting has been expected, but so far is not living up to expectations.

As the last major pocket of resistance in all of Kenya, this fight should be the last of them.


Talks in Djibouti go well, and we patiently wait for their final votes to begin integration.

Two battleships have been dropped at the U.A.C. and the remainder of the "persuasion fleet" will continue on to Bahrain, where we already have delegates posted to help them decide to join us.

So you want us to roll over and just wait? If we don't make a stand we are just going to be annexed by another larger country with a head start on us. If we can't make ourselves be heard we will just become another name in a history book. I for one DON'T want to be pushed around by larger countries just because I joined late. And then here you are asking ME if I want to get attack just for voicing my opinion? You sir do not own this world and you definitely never will. Africa belongs to the Africans. So what if we started as tribal states when it comes down to what really matters, we are Africans. I know that they would rather be Africans than be ruled by a country a thousand miles away. You had a rebellion didn't you Evan? They wanted to stay sovereign Africans but that didn't stop you, did it? Everyone sooner or later is going to realize that there isn't any more 'free' room to expand, and where are they coming? here! to Africa and pretty soon, for us. the developing African states.

Just a quick update for my domestic situation, something I've been meaning to do for a bit. It's going to be basic, no fluff.

South Africa: Situation is improving, much improvement over the last week in the security situation. We hope to reintigrate the northern areas back into the Dominion of South Africa fairly soon. 75,000 (5 divisions) remain stationed there, along with the remains of the original reserve force, which has been rather decimated. Stands at about 12,000 at the moment. Replacing older South African equipment with newer M6A1's and Humvees is soon to be completed.

Gabon: Further agreements have been made with the government for economic and maybe political union. Still a long time away though.

Ivory Coast: 4000 general troops still remain in the area, mopping up resistance, but most of Ghana and Togo are generally secure. Official integration into the Commonwealth is also still rather far away. Two weeks at best.

Sierra Leone: Four-Oh and Four-Two Commando have arrived to assist Four-Five Commando already in country, in securing the area. This amounts to around 5,000 or so troops on the ground, supported by Green Fleet near Sao Tome. Current fighting with the rather low key national security forces. More news later.

Gambia: Further talks have also been made with this government. The recent fighting near them by IRA forces has shaken their leaders a good deal, so prospects look good for economic and eventual political integration. However, this, as all others still take much time. Long way away.

Navy: Red Fleet (14 Hydras, HMS Queen Elizabeth carrier, 4 Stealth cruisers) remains off the western shores of South Africa. Blue Fleet (8 Hydras, 4 Stealth Cruisers, HMS Prince of Whales carrier, 1 Type-4 sub) remain near the North Sea and English Channel on high Alert. Green Fleet (6 Hydra guided missile destroyers) remains around Sierra Leone and Gambia, and the west African coast in general. Overall, full activation of naval assets is in progress, due to current situation.

NO current plan to intervene in this conflict, well duh. That wouldn't work as CM. Hallo bias.

While I am taking a strictly neutral stance in all of this, I think that all of this proposed combat in Africa is foolish. There is no incentive for the African attack into Libya, other than the vague "Africa is for Africans" quote. I hope that all combatants, particularly the Africans realize that they will be pounded to dust for a very long time if this fighting breaks out.

Same goes for the Alaskan invasion.

Anyway... I in fact love what you just said. That's exactly how I felt often times in RA-CAS-UEN. I also love how you are gloriously standing up for your fellow Africans and yourself. However, this does not at all mean I'm going to just walk away either...

For the greater good of many African peoples, there must be nations with a greater infastructure and economy involved in Africa, for Africa really no longer has many resources of its own. Face it, Africa can't survive without outside influences. It's kind of a sad result of previous European colonization.

Plus, Libya... really doesn't have anything. At all. Except a coastline, which is why it was taken.

So I won't attack YOU directly unless you directly assist those invading Osean territory.

Well, I do think that fighting between superpowers (or at least modernized nations) is fun :3

Mind you, we have several IIS members in the area. Please keep all fighting away from "allied" industrial centers. We still need to use them.

Also, ADCC security is being increased to some extent, but little has changed from our current high-risk standing. The Type-4 sub heading from Sao Tome will be repositioned off the coast of Portugal [outside of lawful national sea boundaries] to act as a quick-defense unit. MRNC patrols will also be increased in dual-exercise with the littoral practices.

Actually, no. The United States of Central Africa is a member. Contributes energy sales, etc. And Ham is technically American. And on the other side of the world, we have Japan and Oceania.

The UFE is the all-Euro exclusive.
Permalink

I love that guy. I love that movie.
Permalink

Africa, ok. But Ham is not American, he is a psuedo-German state in America. By all accounts, Ham is a Euro.

And your UFE is evil.
Permalink

I go by geopolitics, not self-interested "leaders".

And you're just displeased by the thought that the UFE may /ragequit and go on a rampage. Not interested, too vulnerable. Hallo Normandy times ten. Plus, it's not like we have a grudge against anyone. Not a deep one anyhow. Non-aggression pacts are pretty cool guys.

But right now we Afrikans love it.

Both Mongolia and Siberia have decided to assist Nick in his recapture of Alaska. Mongolia will field a minimum group of 2000 men all nicely rested up from Chinese Takeout. Along with these infantry we will send 50 Hun Armored vehicles (with snow tires) and our first dozen UAV's off the line. They could use a good field test anyway.

They are pretty cool, but Hitler broke a non-aggression pact. If Hitler can do it, anyone expansionist can. I trust you more than the average person here, but you're quite capable of breaking it, just as I am. Let's hope neither of us do. A war between us would surely end with my end as a military power and your end as an economic one.
Permalink

Ditto. I'm not too interested in bankrupting West Europe just for the lulz alone. The way I see it, we're fairly mutual neighbors. No worries; not on my end anyhow.
Permalink

Hopefully none here either. My worries are: Bohemia, Prusso-Egypt-Mesopotamia-Texas-Axum, and the IRA.

Bohemia isn't bad. Too inactive to cause damage. Anyhow, I'm going to leave this alone. I don't plan on altering your views any nor exposing anything of the sensitive manner.

4 months, you must be skimming through the threads because my last post was about 2-3 weeks ago... Anyways, the Federation of Osea will not be taking this lightly, defencive preperations are now being implemented in Libya, and as well as Alaska... This isn't going to be a good 'adventure'...

Siberia declares a state of military preparedness.

10 000 Combat personel are being prepped for the Attack on Alaska. The SnS Isakov, SnS Lazarev and SnS Tributs have ceased their shakedown excersises and are now en route to link up with Carriers Yumashev and Zozulya.

The entire shabang will culminate with Siberian forces alongside our Mongolian and PCU Alies marching through Juneau. (hopefully)
Permalink

The PCU expresses great relief we have some back-up.

Mongolian forces are to be mobilized immediately, with an additional 3000 men being readied along with the first 2000. We ask if we could borrow a transport ship or two from our neighbors with boats.

See, I knew if I mentioned that, someone would have to do it! I manipulated you; and you didn't see it... Mwahahahaha!

*Ahem* Anyhow, you mixed up in all this?

I'm leaning heavily toward joining you all...
But I'd have to do it mostly by air & sea. I could supply some logistical assistance to you?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we could sweep 'em. I do need at least SOME territory in Africa, guess this is how I can get it. Let me know via here or flickr when & where we're stepping off.
Permalink

Danke.
Avella is doing most of the planning, so I'll have to wait for him to contact me before I can get back to you. Originally we were just going to take Libya, but Cliffe is, like I said being a killjoy and complicating things.
Permalink

Things aren't looking too good mates, of course all the land greedy nations join the attacking side. Nick just can't get enough, can he? Neither can India, who is just digesting THEIR WORST ENEMY FOR DECADES.

Our bees shall blot out the sun.
Permalink

The United States of Central Africa would like to point out that it stated it's intrest in Libya a while ago when offering to buy it. We also recieved no complaints both times we supplied and armed Libyan rebel groups. Why does everyone all of the sudden care so much as to start a major war over something you didnt even notice 3 weeks ago? We gladly welcome Ultramarine into our coalition. Please begin landing your troops (and much needed aircraft) in Kinsasha.
Permalink

Nigeria has decided to stay out of this war. We would be destroyed by it. The military has shut down all entrances in and out of the country. All border crossings and ports are under lockdown until further notice.
Permalink

HERESY!
Permalink

And our RAID will cover the land.

Permalink

The USCA would like to point out that Nigeria would unlikely survive very long if our coalition loses this war, with or without your support. Also, if our coalition does win this war, we shant forget the absence of your support. This is a great wau to kick out foreign influence from Africa, and if we back down now we will always be remebered for it.
Permalink

So much for "Africa for the Africans"...
Permalink

Some people here don't seem to understand the politics of war.

Cliffe isn't being a "killjoy". you're attacking the land of one of his friend's lands, and he's helping to defend it.

He won't even be invading you back, to Cliffe and Weagle, keeping people out of Libya is what matters to them.

In Alaska, Cliffe is helping Weagle defend against an attacking force of the PCU, along with some Mongolians and Siberians.

So Cliffe is only assisting with defense. Weagle is defending. Ham may or may not try to do something drastic, the reasonable thing he could do is supply trrops and equipment to the African and/or Alaskan conflicts, the drastic thing would of course be invade the PCU, which I don't think he'd try.

So as long as people keep cool heads and don't blow this out of proportion, this should be a relatively localized conflict within the boundaries of Libya and Alaska only.


And as for Oceania? w3 g0nnA nuk3 a11 uR p33plz!
Permalink

I was under the impression that he was going to napalm bomb Algeria into submission.
Permalink

I know Cliffe, he'll only do that when he goes all /ragequit
Permalink

Why does that not make me feel better?
Permalink

Because you don't know Cliffe as well as I do?
Permalink

The senate has reviewed the call for neutrality and denied it. The millitary has begun the mobilization of troops to our West border. The 6th Para. Regiment will be moved to USCA territory for help with airborne assaults. Brik out!
Permalink

Alright, I've recieved a few CM themed FM's, I'll condense it later tonight. I've extended the deadline to 7:30 EST, to make life easier for me. If Weagle never shows, which I doubt he will, I'm going to assume his forces are about the size of Canada's + Alaskan National Guard, and apply accordingly.

Question to Ian, do you really have ten thousand top of the line grade-A main battle tanks?
Permalink

No. Russia only has around 22,000 right now. A sparsely populated area such as Siberia wouldn't receive almost half of them.
Permalink

When do you plan on posting your three MOCs?
Permalink

He has production rights on a bunch of my vehicles, and he's stayed around for a long time, considering you guys say something about the three MOCs every chance you get. He also has MOCs built and photographed, but he can't get them in his computer. At least I think that's what's going on anyways.
Permalink

Lets put it this way, he can't interact until we can see that he has his three MOCs. It doesn't matter that he's been here for a whole month, or that he can build some of your vehicles, he needs to have his own creations posted for himself so that we can see them.

The first two airframes meant for the ALDS have been approved after inspection; the latter three are still getting their stamps. Hopefully, once the first plane is stripped down and reinforced, the laser components may be added en suite. With round-the-clock shifts and constant work, the AF is looking at doing trial runs in two weeks. And operation a bit after that.

On note of the Nat. Rep. of Maur., coalition forces have managed to stabilize the borders and are now working on shutting down riots. Although an armed conflict is highly expected, no true signs have been shown in support of this. UAVs have been peering into the Islamic Rep.'s borders to continue reporting military positions with live feeds. The goal is to go ahead and contact the Islamic Rep. so talks can be made to favor mutual relations with assured sovereignty of the Nat. Rep.

Panning back to Europe, Spain and France have begun pulling forces to protect key industrial centers in IIS nations. There should be an operational expeditionary force within the week and mobilization a few days after that. This is not meant to be a polarizing notion, but one to ensure member nations don't lose out on production because of petty engagements.

Also, coalition forces under Atlantic Operation Command within Moldova have been told to dig in for the moment. Granted Bohemia has actually entered its own fight, command may be handed over to their governance. Although UFE has a centralized idea of action, each member doesn't exactly think the same in terms of integration. For the time being, handling refugees will be the secondary objective instead of continual mobilization.

The entire Russian Ground Forces only consist of 320,000 active personnel, if you take Wiki.

22,800 tanks, only 6500 are in active service, most of witch are T-72/80. Russia only has about 100 real modern tanks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equipment_of_the_Russian_Ground_Forces#Armored_fighting_vehicles

That's Wiki's breakdown. However, he does own some of the Chinese coast, so there is more resources. But...like...22,000 first rate tanks?

Are you going to send me any combat plans?
Permalink

It appears in the power vacuum the collapse of the USA and whatever caused the middle east to be Cliffe-ified, Lebanon has fallen into the hands of teh teruists. We're sending a moderate amount of people to 'stabilize' the region. Mostly Turkish soldiers, as to not antagonize those who may be tempted by radical Islam. Any trouble by ethnicities ends up with the aggressor side deporting to South Africa.

In a bit, my flickr mail is not operational so I'm gonna make a temporary one..

The African-Alliance is purchasing 50 Psaraetós, 100 Férouns, and 25 Leopárdalis from Rome. These will be financed by the USCA due to its massive profits earned the Hydro-Electric project. All of the tanks are being purchased without engines, and will be refit with ones capable of using M1 fuel cells. These will be distributed after the war to all African Alliance countries. The USCA is mobilizing its 25 old T-90's and they will be ready for use by tomorrow. With the support of the PCU, India, and Rome, battle plans are being re-evaluated and fuel cells are being installed in all participating equipment.

War update for September 8:

The conflict has begun, moreso with a wimper than with a bang.

Pacific Empire forces have begun the process of advancing on the city of Juneau, with 5000 troops already engaged. The remaining twenty thousand should be in action by mid-day tomorrow. As of now, the Osean defense seems to be scattered and unorganized. In the confusion it seems any Osean defenses in the area are falling back in confusion, although the ongoing battle for Juneau is inconclusive at the moment.

On the other side of the world, SRGL naval forces have begun mobilization, but the closure of the Strait of Gibraltar to all military vessels may provide an issue for these combat ships to get "in on the action". Russian diplomats from the IRA have expressed extreme protest in the involvement of the Socialist Republic of the Great Lakes's involvement in the current conflict.

Egyptian ground forces have remained stationary for now, but air forces all along the Egyptian-USCA border have mobilized, with a number of fighters sortieing into USCA airspace. They met up with twenty USCA-flagged gunships, and proceeded to engage them. The gunships, devoid of escort, where easily engaged by the Egyptians, with eight of the twenty helicopters being sent crashing to the Chadian desert before the remaining twelve retreated back towards the USCA heartland.

However, the lack of a major Egyptian push into the area on the ground has given the Africans room to breather. USCA forces are beginning to focus their attention on defending the major urban and industry centers, planning on turning cities into quasi-fortresses, a la Baghdad in 1991. USCA forces farther back are also making preparations to hold the line in the Congo Jungle. This shear denseness of the jungle will make it almost impossible for any large armored force to break through, if the Egyptians or any force attempt to do so down the line.

Looks like things are just heating up.

Orders for tomorrow due around 8pm EST.

Scratch that, we're going by air with Nick now

Ok, well, we should be joining you shortly.

Oceania, as the founding member of the project, declares protective custody over a 700 mile stretch of railroad track incorporated as part of the ARTS (African Rail Transportation System) project. Built from the Egypt-Libya border to Tunis, this stretch of rail has been declared monetarily protected by us. This is not a declaration of war against either side. I repeat, this is not a declaration of war against either side!

It will work like this. Any country to damage, whether intentionally or accidentally, will pay twice the cost of repair to Oceania. That goes for either side of the conflict.

At the end of all hostilities, Oceania will give control of the line back to whoever ends up with Libya.

This is not a declaration of war, I'm simply protecting my economic investment, much like the UFE is sending troops to protect IIS investments, I'm protecting this rail line.

India has canceled all leaves for its naval personnel and has begun marshaling the fleet at Bombay. Two of its carriers (full of planes & copters), two battleships, eight stealth cruisers, ten destroyers, and one submarine are being assembled there. All merchant marine vessels are now under Indian Navy control and are reporting to the same port. Supply ships are being hastily modified with temporary coverings to serve as troop transports. Two divisions are being transferred there-combat engineers, special forces, and regular infantry and support vehicles-for combat duty overseas. Another three vessels are being stocked top to bottom with Hueys, to be deployed when landings take place.

I just need an ally to provide me with a good port or two... Anyone?
Permalink

For India's part, your claims will be honored.

Greater Alenia, as a counter to the current global climate, has mobilized two more tank divisions and another Light Division, while recalling the 13th from the PCU.

We are, at this point, neutral, but we're quite ready to apply force to repel any and all unauthorized incursions on our territory.

Please be aware we have a policy of responding in kind, but multiplied. So if you blow up one of our munitions depots, we'll 'deal with' three or four of yours, if you kill off a Motorized Rifle regiment while taking a shortcut through our territory, we'll annihilate half of one of your mechanized infantry divisions, and probably take out a tank regiment or two just so you don't do it again.

And in other news, the ASV Tunguska's trip to the moon has been postponed indefinitely, because we don't have any strategic bombers in flying condition.

Surface naval assets have been recalled to the Baltic region, while submarine assets are being distributed to launch locations in case they are needed. However, Finland is decidedly neutral in this situation, and has no desire to take advantage of this situation for personal gain.

The called up reservists have reached defensive positions mostly on the western side of Finland. We stress to Prusso Egypt that this is not a sign of aggression or distrust, but we are wary of those who declare war on nations that we are friendly with.

My ports are ready to do, my troops are waiting with free beer.

Defenses along the PCU-SRGL border have been stepped up to 50'000 troops, with extra defense(More troops, air patrols, etc) located in Newport News. After our last incident, we don't wish to be caught off guard. THIS IS PURELY DEFENSE, I REPEAT PURELY DEFENSE.


Who closed the straits of Gibraltar? And yeah, Nigeria, no one will be able to get to you either.

My ports in Angola are open too, but you are probably going to go for the free beer. The only way I could top that would be blocked by the filter.

The UCSA has begun decreasing it's fuel cell production (with complaints from the private sector) in order to produce more munitions and military equipment for the war effort. All equipment will be distributed throughout all Coalition forces in order of necesity. This will not hinder employment rates, as all factory will stay operational, they will just be cranking out bullets instead of export goods. Also, when can we expect a new ICF. This ones getting pretty long with all the WWIII posts.
