Meatton wrote:The nation of Meatton has cancelled all trade with Walkersia. It will instead wish to be an ally’s with Ishlomekia and a show of good will give South crossbell to them. The nation of Walkersia has shown its true self as nation of fools.

Walkersia is disappointed that Meatton would spit upon the sacrifices of its servicemen by relinquishing its portion of Crossbell, which it started a war to gain, to the poisonous socialists.

Meatton’s trade with Walkersia was negligible, so the embargo is of little concern to us. However we are still disappointed that we were denied a portion of Crossbell, which we rightfully deserved due to our contributions in the war. In order to rectify this injustice we will be seizing the Le Meme Danke city of Memejing, and hereby declare the Empire of Walkersia.

Ishlomekia applauds the action Meatton has taken to reduce tensions. We shall restore order in Crossbell at once and will continue support Hisso Morimiya in his efforts to bring peace to the narion.

Ishlomekia guarantees the independence of The city state of crossbell.

Vlasi Lagounov steps off a large sailboat onto a pier in a marina. "Hello comrade Lagounov." A shorter caucasian man with blonde hair says "We are pleased you are here in Galveston. Would you like to see the place we picked got for you?"

"That would be nice. I didn't catch your name."

"My apologies, I'm Michael Krespo. I run the business in this town. Well one of them, we have several competitors. With your assistance we might be able to push them out."

"I'm not here to help your crew grow. I'm here to make sure the product and payments are being sent to the right places."

"Oh, for sure for sure, can you at least get some shipments of heavy weapons coming in?"

"You can buy them from whom ever you wish with your own money. Why do you need heavy weapons anyway?"

"I see you've never had an encounter with NFMS police. Well let's just say that regular street officers have fully automatic rifles and it makes gettin away with things difficult without a numbers advantage."

"I'll see what we can do about getting some heavier ordnance. It'll be costly but it'll work."

"I appreciate it. Now let's go see your house. It's not downtown but it's not too far away."

Ionona

"Sir!" a detective in Galveston blurts out as he bursts into his supervisors office. "My CI has confirmed Lagounov is here!"

"How are you sure?"

The detective pulls out his phone and pulls up the photos of Lagounov his CI sent him. "And, I have an audio recording of Krespo discussing the purchase of light machine guns and man portable rockets from the syndicate."

"Send me those files and delete them. I don't need you losing your phone and having it compromised."

"Yes sir. Should I get a taskforce ready to take Lagounov?"

"No. I'll pass this onto MLEP and see what they want to do. If anything the FIS will probably want to assist."

The detective nods and leaves the office.

Great coalition and Ionona

The great Emir Erfan Ebrahimi stood gazing among the masses as he lorded over his citizens from the white balcony hanging from the front of the royal palace. The crowd chanted “yaeish al'amir aleazim” stopping only when the Emir Ebrahimi reached out his jewel heavy hand. “My dear people.” The Emir’s voice boomed from the speakers flanking either side. “I come to you today as a servant of Allah. Allah wills that we wash the filth of the infidels from the dirt of the earth. We must see to it that our children are not subject to the temptations of those that wish to see us removed.” As the Emir finished two guards led a blindfolded man on to the balcony. “This poison lived among us. He sought to rape our children and defile our women. He brought knowledge from the infidels into this nation and sought to corrupt our minds. The punishment for his crimes” The Emir turned around. The crowd looked on, the Emir on the left, the man on the right. The Emir lifted his hand revealing a golden Desert Eagle firing the gun once. The back of the man's head exploded as the round left his skull and his body slumped to the ground. “Death” The Emir walked back into his palace. The guards lifted the now dead man over the balcony and into the crowd.

The 1st and 10th Royal Fleets of the UADI navy has left their homeport and are en route to the western coast of Great coalition. They are doing this with an approximately 5,300 strong force of troops from the 4th Marine brigade that also contains detachments from the 8th Marine Armored Regiment, 6th Marine Artillery Regiment, 60th Support Brigade, and the 22nd Aviation Brigade all from the 4th Marine Division.

The Atkins Civil War has not been going well for the ruling regime.

The army in Faronnia has surrendered, any advances against Cream sauce have been stymied, and the revolt in Castannica was quickly growing out of hand.

However, none could have foreseen the action taken by the Senate today. The Senate has largely been known to be a puppet of the Emperor, but today it voted to sue for peace with the various rebellious factions. This triggered an emergency protocols by the Emperor which saw loyalist elements of the military storm the parliament, dissolve it, and arrest the vast majority of its members. Of those who escaped are notably Craig Barlow of the Atkins Conservative Party, and Adamas Winston Pelley of the Christian Party.

The dissolution of parliament in such a clearly anti-democratic manner has triggered the secession of Notre sagessee, effectively cutting off New Atkins from Castannica, and aiding in its revolt. Having to reallocate forces from Beregon towards Notre Sagessee has seen both Beregon and Cream Sauce slowly make gains.

The Empire is rapidly crumbling from both rebels and internal reformists, and short of substantial foreign support or a miracle the days of the Atkins Dynasty are numbered.

The 12th fleet, 3rd expeditionary strike force, and 6th destroyer squadron have cleared port and have set course for the western coast of Great coalition. On board the 3rd ESG are the Marines of the 5th and 6th MEUs. 4,400 Marines and their equipment are on their way to the GC shores.

The Dolphin Isles and Ionona

16 hours ago Ionona launched a volley of aircraft to the west. Nobody really knew what was going on aside from the formation upon formation of Mamba fighter jets soaring over cities loaded with missiles. Contrails could be seen for 30 miles in some places, and people began to panic, but most seemed reassured of Ionona's air strength seeing so many planes in the air at once. Civilian airports were shut down for 2 hours, surprisingly only delaying a pair of flights coming in from NFMS and Fumanthan, respectively.

Naval activity on the north coast was up too. 18 warships were seen with small escort boats just off North Chamde. 6,300 Marines in the western garrisons were deployed to the boats sitting in the harbor. They passed on their way and didn't speak a single word to any local. The thousand-man convoys to the ocean were met with the rumbling waves of the Axehead Sea and the smell of spent diesel mixed with the salty seafoam in the breeze. Despite being the middle of summer, the Marines were all too joyless for what the civilians saw as a thousand-yard stare.

A lone armored vehicle posted at a street corner in Retz raised questions of martial law, but nobody had heard anything close to it from the news channels or government spokespeople. In fact, the government had not said a word on what was happening.

The 3rd Armored Division and the 29th Infantry Division have been seen headed towards the Great coalition border. Additional engineer units have been seen with heavy equipment presumably to erect defensive fortifications.

Ionona

Foledonia has raised its readiness level in response to the massive and worrying increases in military activity from the western continent. Reservists have been called to duty and the 9th, 13th and 1st fleets have been put to sea to patrol Foledonia's coastal territories. The Minister of Foreign Affairs assures Crassia that Foledonia has mobilized in a purely defensive attitude. Further heightening of military readiness is sure to occur in the event conflict breaks out.

Local police have been flooded with calls of explosions and sounds of gunfire from tows near the border. It's unclear as of now what is going on but one thing is for sure, live ammunition is being used. The government has yet to put out a statement or responded to questions from the media.

The Dolphin Isles and Ionona

The Janususian 5th, 8th, and 10th Army groups have been roused around the terrestrial borders from the reserve, readying alongside the 12th, 6th, 10th, and 7th Naval groups to protect the naval borders of the Free Imperial Republic if need be.

Foledonia

"Sir, BDA reports along the north western corner of grid HJ14 indicate targets hit. We missed target-of-opportunity on one of the supply convoys due to civilian interference, but looking at the map they should be here at about 0545." Lance Corporal Durges points to a location between two rolling hills on the eastern side of Great coalition territory about 6 miles inland. "We should be able to catch them in one of these bottlenecks provided they keep rolling through the night. And again, looking at the map, they should know they need to divert since the hill on their current path is too steep for their vehicles. AWACS reports pop-up groups of multi-role fighters along the southern border as well."

"Corporal, good work on finding these guys, get Fox Company ready to drop at HJ224169, and HJ244569 at 0330 and 0340 respectively. I want this supplies, and the more logistics capability we can take the better. And get me drones over that road in 30 minutes to find that convoy. If it is there, move a QRF team to destroy the bridges here and here."

"Sir!" A Sargent Major reports to his commander "We've broken through the first t position but don't have comms with the breakthrough force. Artillery has had to scatter due to counter battery but we will still have at least one battery available for the offensive at 0350. The Air Force reports are skeptical that we will have anything more than a flights from JSFs until they can get the SAM systems down. Organize a retreat and we were unable to destroy any C2 targets."

"I'll call the artillery commander to ensure we have guns at our disposal. Me might be able to use some of their precious guided rounds to hit the SAM battery if our force recon can get eyes on it." replies Colonel Jager.

An alert display on the screen “ALERT MOBILIZE MOBILIZE MOBILIZE” flashes in white text on a red box. “Sir!” an intelligence soldier says, “Reports show that Nation for Mutual Security, The Dolphin Isles, and Ionona have begun to mobilize their forces to our western border.”

“Roger.” General Kasumi the Commander of the Central Strategic Command replies. “Ready our Sky Hammer batteries, alert garrisons along our borders, scramble our interceptors, and prep B24 and F111 bombers for first strikes.” General Kasumi stands from his desk approaching screen displaying the current strategic situation. “Get Western Command on the phone. I want their ships to sail and meet aggressor fleets en-route. If they have any ships in dry dock expedite repairs or cease resupply and get them moving as well.” General Kasumi turn leaving the secure room. “We have a long night ahead of us. I have an Emperor to brief."

*Automatic rifle fire and artillery detonations are heard off in the distance*

Captain Burns crawls forward with his team of Raiders.

"Sir, I see the launchers but there's no fire control or radars." PFC Anders reports

"They don't need to be at the same site. They can transmit target data remotely to the launchers. Get your laser on. I have a strike package for 6 Copperheads that will decimate these and open a door for some fast air or recon flights."

Anders props up his laser designator and flips the activation switch.

"Magnum. Snakedoctor. Firemission charlie lima zero niner niner. How copy"

"Magnum copies all. Splash in 3 Mike's. Magnum out"

3 minutes later 6 explosions rock the area and annihilate the sky hammer launchers.

"Magnum. Snakedoctor. Good effect on target. Snakedoc out."

The Dolphin Isles and Ionona

The Ildonian Republican guard stands on high alert. Military forces have begun to filter into their bases and martial law has been enforced. The current uptick in military action near their border has sent the state into fear.

Great coalition

In exchange for regular payments of a substantial amount, Foledonia has made an agreement with Great coalition to not support Ionona materially for the duration of the conflict. Foledonia reserves the right to render this agreement null and void in the event that it jeopardizes the integrity of the Empire. All inquiries on the matter may be directed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

General Kozak enters a large room filled with screens monitoring the battle space. In the harsh blue light of the room you could hardly make out the operation Eclipse logo on his coffee mug. Kozak sits in his command chair and puts on his headset.

"Call the GC Air wing commander and tell him his targets are set and air defense is ready for his bombers to make their run. How have our artillery strikes been?"

"Sir, our artillery has had an 80% effectiveness rate on unguided rounds and 100% on guided rounds. We have a regiment of forces on both sides ready to begin our push. GC forces have reported their sim rounds are being finicky and not exploding each time."

"That's fine. Ours work fine and as long as it registers as a hit on the body armor sensors we're fine. Begin the push. Let's see if we can penetrate the 10km before being stalled."

The Dolphin Isles and Ionona

"So do they know, captain?"

A lone private speaking into a radio looks out over a valley in the eastern GC mountains. Assigned to Firewatch, Private Leon watches the lush terrain for miles, looking for any sign of movement while waiting for a response.

"I would think so, considering all the population centers we've flown over. We'll see what happens, but we did get assigned a pretty sweet mission coming up here pretty soon."

"Any details you can share, cap?"

"Were getting tasked to steal a GC truck plan, so we're gonna move west here soon. I wanna see something real blow up this time! I might just lase an NFMS truck depot if we can get the dudes out of it first...."

<02:00, foothills of a beach along the western coast of Great coalition>

A small ORCA recon team of three soldiers made their way to a crest overlooking a small and narrow valley. Inside sat a convoy of large trucks parked at the end of a service road. They quickly began setting up as soon as they reached their overwatch position, they began setting up. Sergeant Setiawan began ranging the target with a laser designator while Specialist Mikaere fiddled with the settings on the squad radio and Specialist Kanani laid down behind them looking for patrols. "Tell them we have the anti-ship missile battery in sight" he whispered to the specialist next to him.

Mikaere turned on the radio and began speaking Ionan with a heavy Komavi accent. "Come in Seraph, this is Boxcar 2-1."

The radio quietly crackled to life in the earphones of the team. "This is Seraph. Go ahead Boxcar 2-1."

"We have the target. Standby for coordinates."

"Roger Boxcar. We're flying into range soon and we are prepped to simulate cruise missile deployment."

Great coalition

“Sir! reports show a Sky Hammer launcher has been destroyed. Our Nation for Mutual Security counterparts have stated that their targets have been established and they are ready to receive a bomber mission“

“Roger that, they have to have controllers in the region. Send scouts and reconnaissance aircraft to find their locations.” Responds General Kasumi. “Give the B24 and F111 flights a green light. I want EF-15s to escort then on the way in.”

“Sir we are getting reports of a military flight over our eastern border!.” An intelligence private yells from the other side of the room.

“What? We agreed that the exercise would take place on the western shores.”

“Reports are also showing that supply units on the eastern coast have been struck.”

“What the hell? Shut down the eastern airspace and scramble the F-22s. I want them to force that plane to land. Should that plane not land I want take it out before it leaves soveriegn GC airspace.”

“Roger that.” the private replies.

“Sergeant Itou”

“Yes General”

“Alert Eastern Command. I want them on high alert. This isn’t an exercise”

The General picks up the phone at his station and begins to dial.

"Notify me if anything changes. I need to make some phonecalls to Nation for Mutual Security, The Dolphin Isles, and Ionona.
