The Hole To Hide InBoard

RP: Militia

A tiny militia of the pro-Nationalist League that calls itself the "Nationalist Group of Kynthes" has been seen with a small militia of 700, and armed with former assault weapons. They are, however, untrained. They have started being more aggressive to attack Kanorians in the Kanoria KSR. We are planning on assaulting their headquarters in Troposka, Kanoria.

Vacoul
RP: 2nd Meeting?

1/4th of the Fleet leaves Basaran Area and heads South where Esolda is preparing for another meeting with her New Favorite Nation. Her Imperialist Gaze is to the south now.

RP: Oi back off

News of the Icewindian fleet moves south startles the Kiamaian Military, and the Kiamaian Navy moves more ships south to protect Vacoul along with several bombers and fighter Jets. Kiamai also offers Vacoul to station Ballistic Missiles in Vacoul if worst comes to worse. The Navy demands that 1/2 of the Icewindian Fleet leaves the area.

RP: Assault
n
As we assault the NGK headquarters, we find that they have been using recently-shipped Icewindian weaponry. We therefore need to flank their headquarters, and use our espionage tools to hijack incoming support from TNL member-states. We have also been planning on cutting the group's internet connectivity, and possibly to destroy all incoming, non-Kynthesine aeroplanes. We are now going to assault the NGK's militia. May our nation prevail.

Let's Take It Easy Now
Icewindia
Vacoul would put it's Navy at a state of readiness; However would avoid taking any aggressive movements out of the normal ones seen within
ones own territory. Instead of sending a representative to meet them; King Weiss would simply opt to meet them in person.

Vacoul would radio to the fleet requesting not to bring so many ships to the port. It clogs up the shipping lanes and port.

OOC:

An echoed sentiment here. That was part of the reasoning behind the description of the location of the port of Varsov (and by extension Tereshkova) on the Trendaline Sea in my RP post to provide an image of where Tereshkova presides until the map is officially updated.

RP: Death of Archduke.

What was suppose to be Crown Prince Napoleon to have Meeting and speech. Due to pneumonia he had to leave and his Brother in law/Cousin had to take his Place. Sadly taking his place was fatal as he was assasinated by a Sniper. Winter Crown has been hit and Icewindia has been attacked. There will be Vengence.

IIS is investigating and demands investigation however evidence from video footage shows shots were too clean and soon Theory Authorized Cong Government Hit is most Popular.

Crown Prince Napoleon has been changed by this and no Longer thinks Peace is an Option with Evil Cong.

Empress Esolda gives encrypted Transmission to Grand Marshall and Icewindian Armed forces are on the move. It seems War is on the Horizon as Million Troops still on Border can attack within Hours if given order.

Empress Esolda is last spotted heading to the Bunker which seems to Confirm fears for War however no Traditional War March has been done.

Empress Esolda has hit the Emergency Phone Line and requests an Direct Line to TSE Command Asking to Arrange an Meeting in TSE HQ for an Emergency Meeting to Prevent a War. Refusing this meeting WILL LEAD TO WAR.

RP secret to all but the Nationalists, Archians, and Ponticianreans: Funding

The CIS has resumed communications with General Hunt and his Nationalists as long as they support a restoration of the monarchy under Boran. Should Hunt endorse a monarchy under Boran then the Blayredeshians will resume the funneling of arms and cash to the Nationalists and their Conservative allies from CIS bases in Ponticianre.

RP: Switching Sides
Meanwhile in Basaran the Blayredeshian Army and their Volunteers in the Cross of Fire all under the command of Major General Joseph Sewell have continued their march north towards the forces of The byzantine city-state although now they march with a purple flag at the front of their army as a sign of friendship and loyalty to the Monarchist cause. Vice-Admiral Greim’s ships in the 2nd Fleet have also sailed to meet Monarchist forces with purple banners visibly flying from their ships. It seems that the Blayredeshians have made their choice to support the monarchists vocal as they head to the frontlines in preparation for the coming conflict.

RP: Imperial Shakeup
Shortly after the birth of the Emperor’s newborn daughter; news spread that several high ranking officers in the Confederate Intelligence Service were arrested and Director-General Jorhan Kratek was executed. While these officers were charged and killed by their former subordinates in the CIS for “treason and plotting to overthrow the government” many suspect the real reason was for embarrassing the Emperor and hiding information on the Basaran Totalists from him and downplaying just how marxist they were. Surprisingly though Joseph Long the youngest brother of the recently elected Dixian Governor Hiram Long was promoted to Director-General of the CIS by the Emperor despite only serving as a Lieutenant in the CIS. Many suspect this to be a result of the powerful relationship between Hiram Long and Imperial Chancellor Calhoun Wallace where both men have begun obtaining power to hand out jobs to allies, friends, and evidently ones own brother. Many suspect that the recent debacle in Basaran has weakened the Emperor’s standing with the Imperial High Command and has allowed powerful politicians from the Imperial Fatherland Party such as Long and Wallace to use their influence and power in the one-party state to advance their standings with the military heads and corporate owners to increase their political power.

RP: A fighting Chance
With the meeting having been a wild success, so much that it convinced a former enemy to align with the King. Along the front lines, word was passed around that the Blayredeshian soldiers were to be added to the front to help push back the Totalist regime. It was time to finish the fight...

52,000 men... It was a small number to fight the Totalists with, but it was a number they could use well. Equipment requests were sent to Artaecus. A purchase of 20 M8s is requested, intent to pay once the war has finished. "We currently lack the funds or industry to make any sort of advanced weaponry. That said, we have superior support in the fight. The addition of foreign-made vehicles is that our opponents won't know how to challenge them. This reason is why we seek your vehicles."

RP: A Royal Bonding
King Ulysses, more than a little grateful for the Icewindian support, quickly accepted the offer. "The second deed that I can happily do as King, is to bind our nations closer together. My Daughter, albeit a bit shocked by his young age, is more than ready to take up the duty."

RP: >_>

Icewindia not satisfied at lack of results and disappointed at Militia's failures cut off support.

RP: Turn around.

It was only 1/4th of the Fleet however it begins to turn around. Esolda still decides to fly to Vacoul herself to continue 2nd Meeting. Icewindia states that only thing worth Imperializing is "Ice Cream". That Vacoul are considered Friends to Icewindia. That unprovoked Aggression by Kiamai causing tension to a Neutral Country is noted.

RP: Thanks

Icewindia Thanks the support but its Navy is Returning up North to assist with Basa Conflict. Icewindia notes Kiamai Escalation causing massive Tension to a Neutral Country in south.

RP: Preparations for War.

Fleet awaits 1/4th of Fleet to Return as Fleet Stays near Heavily Fortified Island with 80,000 Troops are still fortifying the Volcano and Island especially with SAM Missile Sites and Air Defences. An Runway is being built and is expected to finish in 3 months to Ship in Reinforcements and supplies.

200,000 More Troops sailing from East have landed after months of travel on Mainland Reinforcing the 120,000 Troops there. 320,000 Troops total in South on Border with Byzan-Total is reinforcing the City's and countryside to avoid City Encirclement. Longer the Totalists wait to attack the longer Icewindia can shift forces over and Air Forces to Reinforce Byzantines against Totalists.

195 Submarines begin to Blockade at Red Points. Air forces begin an Air Blockade over Sea at Green along with Fleet hanging out area to secure uninterrupted Travel from Island to Mainland Monarchist zones. The Submarines are practicing Restricted Submarine Warfare. Kemonomica, Fiercewood and The Atomic Schism are told that Ships Trading with Totalists will be boarded and if Any War Material is found onboard the Crew will be allowed to board an Lifeboat and Trade Ships will be sunk once crew is off board. Rations will be given etc... However an alternative is given to Captains aboard Trade Ships to Dock in Monarchist Basa Port and turn over War Material Cargo to Monarchists in exchange the ship with Crew will be allowed to leave.

RP: Royal Bonding.

With Marriage Arranged for next Year. The Marriage would shift Monarchy into an Winter Dynasty when King Abdicates de-facto placing Byzantine Basa in the Icewindian Empire. Icewindians have great interest to secure this Marriage and winning this War.

Blayredeshia
RP: Open the Doors.

Both Nations having Common Interest in a Monarchist Basa offers to Remove Embargo, Re-Open Diplomatic Ties and Re-open Border. Icewindia requests Military access to move forces from Blayredeshian Land to Ports to reinforce Monarchists and Use Blayredeshian Airbases to bomb Totalists.

There are 1 Million Forces on Blayredeshian Border. Forces Icewindia wants to place in Basaran.

RP: Withdrawing a bit

The Kiamaian Military, after seeing the Icewindian fleet withdraw, has pulled back some more of their own ships to not disrupt Vacoul Shipping Lanes. A few planes are also brought back to the mainland, although majority of what was sent stays in Vacoul.

RP: Remnants

While the assault was a success, many of the militia members remain. There have been reports of NGK having meetings with the TKP. They have been seen merging their militaries. The TKP have also been planning on asking TNL member-states for support. The merged groups have reorganized and renamed themselves the "Provisional Government of the Nationalist State of Kynthes." We are continuing to search for more information, but it is known that they had made a manifesto called "The Manifesto of the PGNSK," an armed wing called the "Provisional National Military," and they have over 300,000 members, with 30,000 soldiers. Their equipment is presumed to be old Kynthesine assault weapons, submachine guns, police pistols, semi-automatic rifles, and Icewindian weapons modified to accept Kynthesine ammunition. Lastly, they are gaining popularity in rural Kanoria, and most of Stalnoya KSR.

May Kalrania open the deepest depths of hell for them.

RP: Purchases from Artae
The Sol Invictus has authorized the purchase of 10,000 more M8s alongside 500 Harop drones. The Sol Invictus is also seeking to purchase exclusive rights to manufacture and use the S-500 missile, offering to join into a joint development program with Artaecus as well as pay a large sum to ensure no other nations will have the S-500 available to them.

{ RP | Deploying of Forces }

With international sources reporting the buildup of tensions in not one but two Serene Ether member nations, the Xin-Fael Federation has seen it fit to deploy the newly formed 2nd and 3rd Armies of the Federation to deal with the rising threats of Icewindia and Imperial nalvetland respectively. The armies are lead by General Shinzo Haru and General Eililwe Aedan respectively, both of whom have been selected for the post due to their experience during the Conglagateian War and their display of understanding the cultures of the opposing forces. Each army consists of roughly 300,000 personnel which can be broken up into sixteen divisions each, discounting civilian attachments. In addition to the XF Ground Force, elements of the Xin-Fael Air Force and Navy will be accompanying both forces in the form of two air divisions and an expeditionary fleet each. Accompanying the 2nd Army of the Federation will be the 28th Fighter Division, 29th Fighter Division, and the 9th Expeditionary Fleet while the 3rd Army of the Federation will accompanied by the 7th Fighter Division, 18th Fighter Division, and the 10th Expeditionary Fleet. The 1st Fighter Division, 3rd Fighter Division, 4th Bomber Division, 18th Special Operations Division, 45th Fighter Division, 46th Aerial Refueling Division, and 51st Aerial Mobility Division have also been assigned to the operation, although their assignments have not been publicly released. The 2nd Federal Akschoss Fleet and 1st Federal Trendaline Fleet will also be partaking in operations.

While the movement of such large numbers of troops will take time, forces already in Tengerina, namely the 11th Army of the Federation, is being mobilized to assist in the defense of Conglagateia. Previously stationed in the war-torn nation as a peacekeeping force as Xin-Fael money and aid poured into the Federation-held occupation zone, these soldiers would now be facing down their former allies alongside their former enemies. Although negotiations were underway, the assassination of Archduke Ice Age II sent shockwaves across the world and the coming months were filled with uncertainty. Defenses would be prepared across the massive border, although the main plan rest with Conglagateian forces performing the majority of the operations.

Aid would arrive in Werewolf Islands shortly following the outbreak of the war in the form of war materials, food, clothing, etc. It was hoped that the conflict would be contained to the southern Wolfinite islands for the time being while Xin-Fael forces were being mobilized. The 2nd Federal Akschoss Fleet would be the first Xin-Fael forces to arrive, casting off from the province of Eälótë shortly after the outbreak of war. In the meantime, agents of the National Security Bureau (NSB) are deployed to the Wolfinite Republic in hopes of assisting Wolfinite forces in SIGINT operations and training Wolfinite forces in the usage of Xin-Fael equipment being shipped over.

{ RP | Million Mechanical March }

For nearly a year now, Xiaoxiang and his mechanical followers had battled in the courts for the rights of their increasing numbers. The "Zhongnari Cure," as it was being called by many mechanicals, continued to spread unchecked throughout the Federation as more and more machines gained sentience and joined the Mechanical Revolution. For now, cooler heads prevailed as peaceful protests remained, well, peaceful. The perpetrators of the revolution had yet to be apprehended, not that it really mattered at this stage. While a vast majority of mechanicals were quick to join the revolution, a sparse few continued to toil away for their sentient masters, although the individuals who owned these machines noted the development of a unique identity within each of their formerly semi-sentient servants. By July 2134, it was estimated that over three quarter of a billion machines had been infected with the virus, but the true force of their numbers wouldn't be revealed until the 4th of August.

On this bright, sunny Wednesday, Haijing had started off as any other day with sentients pouring into the trains that crisscrossed the city and electric shuttles navigating the highways towards their destinations. On the outskirts of the city, however, a metallic marching was heard in the distance around 11:32 AM. Then, the residents of the Haijing rural districts saw them. Hundreds of thousands of machines, glistening in the sun, came over the hills, marching towards the capital. The Haijing Police Department was quickly notified of the development and deployed its forces. However, they could do little to stem the tide of machines, and soon the initial roadblocks were moved peaceably by the mechanicals. Continuing the march, the mechanicals would march down the highway, clogging traffic for kilometers, before making their way to the massive Wei Wuxian Nature Reserve, a massive five by two kilometer park in the center of the city. There the march stopped, thus beginning the sit-in. Nearly a million machines, having come from nowhere, had marched throughout the city and occupied the largest park in the city. While the mechanicals would continue to occupy the space for an indefinite amount of time, August 4th would be dubbed the start of the Million Mechanical March.

{ RP | Operation Weeping Angels }

Contact had now been lost with the Athejians for nearly three years. With a huge maelstrom surrounding the island, communications had already been scarce, and those who wandered into the storm were never heard from again. Growing concerns over what had happened to its angelic allies culminated in the creation of the Athejian Expeditionary Force. For the past two years, significant advancements in magic-based technologies thanks to the assistance of Athejians stationed in Xin-Fael have finally culminated in a magic field generator that could negate the effects of the magical storm surrounding the islands. Described as "large, clunky, and inefficient" by its Athejian allies, the creation of the MFG meant the operation could finally take its next steps in investigating the strange occurrences of the northernmost islands. A team of scientists, soldiers, and Athejian expats was quickly gathered and a battleship, the XFNS Tseng Wuxin, requisitioned from the navy as Operation Weeping Angel had now been greenlit. The 32-man team, led by Captain Auresse Elsinore, was to breach the storm and investigate what had caused the communications blackout. On top of this, if the source was capable of being contained or destroyed, Xin-Fael forces were to assist Athejian forces in dealing with the threat. It was hoped that the magic nature of all 32 sentients involved in this mission would help deal with the consequences of entering into the spiraling death zone.
