The Judicial Republic Declares War!

The forces in Novosibrisk were under extreme fire. Tanks and soldiers were surrounding them on every side. they knew urban warfare,moreover, and knew that tanks and other vehicles can only travel so far as buildings were lined tightly enough to give the advantage of foot soldiers and not tanks. As the forces were getting strong opposition, they regrouped and some split off to take strategic positions within the destroyed buildings from the initial bombing of the city.

Capt Redenback was the leader of the force. He ordered many companies to take refuge within the buildings to shoot down tanks. Right and left the companies took refuge in the buildings with rocket launchers and climbed to the highest floor and shoot any tanks that they see as well as soldiers. Some made it to roofs.

As the companies were set up in the next lane, Capt Redenback ordered retreat to the next lane via alley ways. They took up refuge in the buildings and that gave them better ground.

The total lost for the suad was up to 6,500 now.

...At the border..

The Republican Legion finally linked up with reinforcements and regrouped with armors and the Infamous Sea-Hawk Helicopters. The borders were a scarp yard of tanks and riddled with dead bodies. You can see the many creators in the ground, ripped flags from all sides.

The Isis forces wanted to stay at the border, but the Republican Leigon, Trusting as they are were scared. They talked to the leaders of the Isis and said to either go back home or invade. The Judicial Republic will provide them food for a few days but only enough to make a decision in 72 hours.

The Republican Legion was waiting on orders from the Republic Leaders, that was being transported at this time, to invade or not.

In Kolbertico,

The NX officials made it safely within EEE borders. While in the air, Joseph Hilltop made a telegraph to the rasvidi government on, again, highest encryption level possible.

To: Vladimir A. Ovseyenko
From: Joseph Hilltop, NX401 Prime Minsiter

Dear Vladimer,

We are sorry to hear of the nuclear bomb that went off in Kazan. It was not our intention to start nuclear war and we made no consent with Isis's government to set it off. Isis is a war seems to be acting like a bloodthirsty war machine. They are on the NX/Rasvidi border and i have been told and are not going to move for defensive purposes. Both of our forces have taken serious damage. A Captain from the Republican Legion had told us that the borders were a scrap yard of medal and bodies.

We started this war as a defense to your claim in the North Sea where oil is struck. We know that you are angry with the Isis forces, but please, for the sake of the NX people, we can not make NX401 a battleground.

The NX401 government is infuriated with the response Isis had made. it is cold, heartless ,and, to us, unethical. However, until we can collaborate we can not stop this war.

Notice of the Cessation of Hostilities

To: President Andy Carlton, Chairman Vladimir A. Ovseyenko, and Prime Minister Joseph Hilltop
From: General Milan Reitz, acting Commander in Chief

To the leaders and governments of the nations of Gracealona, Rasvidi, and NX401,

I write this letter to inform you all that President Aeducan, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Isis Rakael, has been relieved of his duties by the Isis Rakael Security Council. He has served his nation well, but the recent situation in the North Sea has dictated that a change be made. His policy regarding the war does not reflect the policy demanded by the Rakaelian people or the IRSC. Until further notice, I will serve as the acting Commander in Chief and President of the Democratic States.

To Chairman Ovseyenko: The IRSC accepts your surrender of the oil fields and will join the peace talks offered by the government of Gracealona. You will surrender the oil fields to the IRN 7th Fleet, who will keep the platform secure until NX401 forces can move in and provide their own security, at which time Isis Rakael will relinquish complete control of the field to NX401. You will cease operations against Rakaelian forces and remove your fleets from the North Sea. You will also cease operations within the NX401 borders and recall all of your military units back into Rasvidi territory. The IR military has been issued a cease fire and will abide by this order. This war is over, Chairman. You have walked a fine line, but we will forgive your insolence for the sake of saving lives on both sides.

To Prime Minister Hilltop: The Republican Legion's call for Rakaelian troops to join in the invasion of Rasvidi will be denied. Under the terms of the IR-NX401 Accords, the military of Isis Rakael is not bound to assist in any offensive operations. Your borders have been defended and thousands of Rakaelian troops lie dead on your soil as a testament of our loyalty and willingness to uphold the terms of an alliance. We will not, however, invade Rasvidi territory. The Rasvidian government has expressed a desire to end hostilities and we will cease operations against their military. Within 48 hours, Rakaelian troops will begin withdrawing from NX401 territory. The 8th Fleet, currently in NX401 controlled waters, will withdraw to IR waters. We have upheld the Accords to the letter. We will offer any and all humanitarian aid to your military and victims of the missile attacks on the capitol city of Absolve, and should Rasvidi re-engage your forces on the borders, we will return to assist. However, we will not render any assistance to an offensive campaign.

To President Andy Carlton: The offer of your capitol building to hold peace talks is accepted. General Jiri Iroh, with whom I believe the Rasvidi government is familiar, will be sent to Gracemaria to represent the IRSC. Your medical assistance during the course of this war has been noted and is appreciated by the Rakaelian government. Your medical teams will be permitted to remain in our territory under supervision by the Rakaelian military.

Thank you for your time, and may our nations recover swiftly from this terrible ordeal.



General Milan Reitz, IRSC
Acting Commander in Chief of Isis Rakael

(OOC: What? You expected me to cease hostilities without a parting shot at the Rasvidian Chairman? ^_^ You know I like ya, Rasvidi.)

(OOC: An IR News report will provide further information on the removal of Glin Aeducan from power.)

As the threat to Gracealona seemed to have subsided the borders (except to Rasvidi) were re-opened and non-military aircraft took to the skys again. The majority of the forces on patrol duty were recalled but about a 10th of them continued the patrols as the conflict wasn't over in the Rasvidi islands. All the medical forces in the various nations remained and continued their duties.

Upon receiving word that Gracemaria would be the host of the peace talks, the capital sprung into action. There was much to be done, from ascetic work to security all had to be addressed. Knowing that these talks would put Gracemaria on the world stage both citizens and the government alike wanted it looking its best. Many buildings were given a fresh coat of paint by their owners, streets were cleaned, and most buildings went through as far as to make sure every dead light was replaced. The street that the delegates would take from Gracemaria International Airport to the capital building was re-paved and blocked off for security. It was decided that the main hall of the capital where congress usually met would be used for the conference. The large Gracealonian flag and seal that usually hung on the wall of the hall were temporarily removed and replaced with the three flags of Isis Rakael, NX401 and Rasvidi respectively.

The forces at the Rasvidi Islands were hit hard. The naval resistance was dealth with handily, and they were only barely holding their own on the land. However, they held the advantage there, and appeared to be incredibly tenacious; General Paulina knew in her mind that there must have been some kind of divine intervention. It could be the only explanation for holding out this long.

They wouldn't need to worry about this for much longer, however. The reinforcements began to arrive, with hundreds of destroyers and cruisers supported by submarines. 200,000 troops unloaded at the port in New Ulyanovsk, to the cheers of the colonists. The other 50,000 were offloaded at Peliyov. It was hard for the colonists to imagine defeat now.

Back in mainland Rasvidi, troops continued their expulsion of hostile forces from Novosibirsk. Troops from the eastern front, currently holding their position and not expecting immediate engagement, began to reroute to Novosibirsk to support the troops already there. Losses, particularly in armored tank divisions, were still substantial. The narrow streets and towering buildings turned the tanks into cumbersome, awkward machines. They still provided good cover for soldiers, however, so less expensive and much more expendable armored craft began to be deployed in place of the tanks.

FROM: Chairman Ovseyenko
TO: President Andy Carlton

Comrade,

Myself and Premier Dementieva will be attending peace talks. We request that they each be assigned a detachment of ten highly trained Rasvidi infantry, and that we provide a military escort for their journey in addition to any protection that Gracealona may wish to offer. These are our top leaders, and while it might be safer to dispatch lesser dignitaries in their place, we feel that it would not be appropriate considering the nature of these talks. We expect the utmost care in maintaining their safety during these volatile times.

Dementieva shall act as my translator, as I do not know any languages other then Saamic (first) and Izhorian (second).

Long Live the Revolution,
Vladimir A. Ovseyenko
Chairman of the Revolutionary Council

FROM: General Paulina Dityatev
TO: Edesu Minister William Roskov

Comrade,

I again offer peace to your forces. Peace talks are being held in Gracemaria, and we would like to cease hostilities with your nation, at least until we can hold competent discussions with another. We do not need to lose any more lives. Would your deity really appreciate these needless deaths?

Long Live the Revolution,
Paulina Dityatev
General of the Rasvidi Islands Milita

In a statement today, Vice President Dowdson, who has been tasked with overseeing the organization of the peace talks, said the following.

"We will allow all nations attending to bring their own security forces if they wish. However, let it be noted that any forces from other nations entering Gracealona will go through backround checks as well as searches and will only be allowed a pistol and one other firearm of their choice. Nothing beyond that will be allowed for the safety of our citizens. We feel that these weapons they will be allowed are sufficent to eliminate any threats to the delegates and anything beyond this would be out of reason for an urban, non-battle enviornment. Upon any futher violence taking place during the talks additional weapons will be provided. We hope that the nations of EEE, King Issac and Serilaq will accept Rasvidi's invitaitions to attend the talks so that we can see the violence end that much sooner. Thank You"

[How could have your reinforcements safely deployed into your cities? The islands are completely embargoed! Unless you plan on somehow godmodding, your forces will not casually walk into your two cities until every Catholic vessel has been sunk. Try again.]

Quote :

A significant fraction of the Edesu Navy had been mustered for the colonial campaign. The entire 1st, 4th, 5th, and 7th fleets; comprising of 200 ships of all sizes, 2800 aircraft, and 300,000 personnel; had surrounded the islands.

FROM: Edesu Minister William Roskov (Navy)
TO: Rasvidian General Paulina Dityatev

The Rasvidian islands have been promised to the late King Isaac's Royal Nation. We will not back down. My offer stands: if you surrender, all military equipment will be confiscated and the Rasvidian soldiers will be safely transported to Gracealona. I would suggest this. You will find that most of Hiborea is very open to colonization. These distant islands are not. Our embargo and bombing raids will continue indefinitely until Rasvidi surrenders.

We do not need to lose any more lives. Would your government really appreciate these needless deaths?

(Also, in the unlikely event of Rasvidian victory in the Isles, you will find you now control a radioactive wasteland.)

[Also, Rasvidi would find Edo Edi Essum much easier to reason with were Rasvidi to adopt religious freedom like that in Gracealona. Such legislation will likely be brought up in the Gracemaria peace talks.]

Queen Jeny would JOIN the peace talk provided that the RASVIDI'S ISLANDS will be given to the queen.

[If Rasvidi isn't RPing any more, do we win by default?]

(OOC: No. Real life demands attention from time to time. Give him time. Shockingly, the world does not revolve around Nation States.)

(OOC: I will have to agree with Isis Rakael on this I was with family all weekend and monday and most of today. Family > NationStates

We need to settle the dispute EEE raised before we can continue, though)

[Ya, i have been doing mid term exams]

In Novosibrioke.

The Tanks were being destroyed and the men being destroyed. Tolls were going up, 10,000 commandos are dead form this. However, the army was out of the fight yet. The army divides into squads and now using buildings for there covers.

They always see some people in there. and with some firing on the squads, it was only beneficial that the commando's shot back.

By this time, A propaganda camping was started. Many planes went over the city of Novosibrisk and air-dropped flyers for the camping in the Republican Legions army.

[Very true. Also, remember that your islands have been embargoed for 28 NS days (9 RL days). How much food do they usually independently produce? Now divide that by three. Your islands have no electricity, mechanical factories, fuel reserves, communications centers, or military bases. Generally, your infrastructure has been eliminated. I assume the islands used to depend on some level of imports. I imagine ther are food riots by now. Feel free to RP what you will, though.]

You have not roleplayed any of this, nor does it make sense to divide their independent food output by three. If it is independent, then an embargo will not influence that production, as it is independent from the trade network. Not sure why you think it should be divded, or if it should why you have chosen it to be divided by 3.

As for military bases, I do indeed have a military base south of New Ulyanovsk, which was in my database until recently when I took down some maps. I can put it back up if you want.

My infrastructure is very much still present, even if it has been damaged in some way. None of you have the land forces required to deal that much damage to the islands; basically, the situation is that even without reinforcements the islands have a larger ground force, while combined you guys have a larger naval force.

I am willing to redo the reinforcement thing, but completely obliterated infrastructure and reduced food output? Nope.

[OK, food output would not be greatly affected. (My factor of three was based off of panic.) But do the islands usually import food? Most do.]
[But still, I have RPed extensive bombing. I am sure the neutralization of the list above, among other things, will have a significant impact.]
[Anyways, my main question is: Do your islands produce all of their own food? Islands generally do not have major agriculture.]
[Regardless, any major bombing campaign will prevent any economy from continuing unaffected. Be reasonable.]

Considering their low elevation and warm and humid climate, they do have rather successful agricultural operations that make them largely independent from the mainland's food supplies, though of course they import some foods, mostly luxury foods or staple foods that can't be grown on the islands. Since they haven't been inhabited before now, they haven't been farmed out like some of the inhabited islands you see on Earth (most notably, Easter Island, which was overfarmed over a period of around 600 years to the point that agriculture could no longer be supported and the civilization that lived there went extinct).

As for the bombing, I will concede to that. Obviously damage has been done, definitely to the farms, and definitely to the infrastructure. Still, ruins or not, you have to do a ground invasion, which is where I still hold the upper hand.

can you respond to my post, Rasvidi. Its on the occupation in Novosibrisk

[More or less agriculturally sufficient islands. I like it. No starvation/food riots, then. (The islands are big enough for agriculture.)]

[Rasvidi, you have identified Edo Edi Essum's greatest weakness: population. We can throw good money towards planes and ships, but we simply cannot waste a million soldiers. (That's half our military!) So, we can surround the islands and make life extremely annoying. We can significantly damage infrastructure. But we cannot actually conquer the islands. EEE lacks the manpower. (But King Isaac does not.)]
