Terroist Takeover In LatianBurg

The sun was rising over the horizon just as the new Adumaran fleet came into view. Two new Frigates and Five Amphibious Assault ships began their final approach to the rest of the fleet, and the bridge of the Providence received a transmission from one of the Frigates leading the convoy. “This is Captain Heeringen of the ANV Harbinger, sorry we were so late Admiral, we encountered some difficulties leaving port. We will begin bombardment right away as per request.”

Admiral Adelard smiled and walked over to the viewport, just in time to see 6 smoke trails leave the two new Frigates’ decks, heading toward 3 of the islands with incredible speed.

With the whole nation still under lockdown the streets of many major cities were dead silent as citizens took shelter in many buildings across the islands.

Inside the newly named “Crisis Control Centre” major government officials and military figureheads were plotting how to end the situation as quickly as possible.

“I’m sure you all know why we are here” Victor Stills said to the group as they took their seats around the meeting table

“Yeah we’re here to discuss how we are going to get those Adumarans off our bloody island” remarked one of Generals as he took his seat

“Yes yes” Victor said as he motioned towards the General “General Bay here has the right idea, we need to get them out as soon as possible”

“And how do you propose we’re gonna do that?” questioned Edmond Silva

“That’s why I called you all here, we’re going to try find a solution that makes everyone here happy” Victor replied as he took his seat

“Now, firstly, I would like to-” Victor was cut off by the abrupt sound of an alarm and people shouting.

“THIS IS NOT A DRILL, ALL STAFF EVACUATE TO SITE ALPHA IMMEDIATELY, DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS, REPEAT DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS”

The group hopped up quickly and began moving towards the stairwell when the power suddenly cut and the facility went dark. A few emergency lights quickly turned on and after a brief pause the group continued on walking.

“Let’s get a move on folks” one of the Generals said as he walked towards the dark stairwell.

Meanwhile, on the northern islands

The missiles came quick and with almost no warning, the first one levelling the solar power plant and rainforest on Harrall. The second missile then exploded above the small industrial district on Harrall flattening the district and killing dozens of civilians taking shelter inside the various buildings.

The missiles targeted at Belrok took a few more seconds to arrive but nonetheless had the same result. Santor International took a direct hit from a missile and the massive fuel tank and aircraft at the airport exploded creating a massive fireball and incinerating anybody unlucky enough to be inside the airport terminal. The second missile targeted for Belrok impacted a windfarm located in the centre of the island and left a massive crater in the island.

The final missiles targeted at Sathar both impacted the People’s Ground Liberation Force Training Centre and left no sign of it’s existence, only a smouldering crater and hunks of molten metal strewn across the jungle.

With the power network for all of Chianski being impacted the entire island was sent into a massive blackout with only Telver Intl Airport and a few key military facilities having electricity.
At Telver Intl Airport all passenger planes, both foreign and domestic, were ordered to be fuelled up and flown in holding patterns around the islands to both assess damage and prevent any damage to the aircraft.

With no direct communication between the Crisis Control Centre and the surface the armed forces were sent into disarray with many units barricading themselves into bunkers and waiting for the best. And the citizens were doing much the same thing inside the various subway stations.

Admiral Adelard looked in surprise at the new missiles he had just fired off. Eyes wide open, “What the hell was that?! You know what, it doesn’t matter.” He pointed back at the communications lieutenant. “Order the Amphibious assault to begin immediately, on the islands of Harrell, Sathar, and Belrok. Also, forward command’s peace offer to the Chianskians. Hopefully they’ll get it before any major action is taken by them.”

The Amphibious Assault Ships then began letting loose numerous landing craft, gunships, and VTOLs, inbound for the three smoldering islands, loaded with Expeditionary troops, armored vehicles, and supplies.

[spoiler] Here are our terms of your surrender, if you so wish to end this bloody conflict before it escalates much further:

  • The islands of Sathar, Belrok, and Harrell will be permanently annexed by the Federal Republic of Adumara.
  • All Chianskian military and government-involved forces will leave the islands, leaving behind any and all non-military equipment.
  • Reparations of 1.2 million Dals will be payed to Adumara to assist in reconstruction of the islands’ infrastructure, as well as to rebuild from the Chianskian funded terrorist attacks.
  • Chianski will completely cut off all remaining ties with all terror and rebel organizations world-wide. This is only in effect for present organizations, not applying to future groups.
  • All conflict between Adumara and Chianski will cease immediately as of the signing of this document.
    [/spoiler]

A U-2 from the RNAF flew high above and took very grim pictures of the destruction of facilities and industrial sites. The aircraft was to continue is recon mission for 6 more hours.

By the time everyone had arrived at Site Alpha it was operational again with power being restored to Site Alpha however much of the facility was still in darkness. The politburo was then immediately summoned by Victor Stills to the small meeting room to discuss the surrender document that just arrived.

After about 30 minutes of debating a conclusion was met and the reply forwarded to the Adumarans.
The politburo also agreed to send a message to all world leaders asking for diplomatic assistance.

[hr]

To:
Adumaran High Command

We will not accept your terms of surrender, we will not allow the stealing of our land and the insane reparations you are suggesting we pay. We do however wish to discuss it with you further and reach a deal that benefits everyone involved. I hope you understand.

From,
Chianski Politburo

[hr]

To:
All Major World Leaders

At present our nation being besieged by The Federal Republic of Adumara who are attacking us senselessly despite our efforts to solve the problem diplomatically. We, The Politburo of Chianski, kindly request any willing nation to come help both ourselves and Adumara solve this diplomatically. We also would like to request peacekeeping forces to be deployed in our nation to help maintain and promote lasting peace in the region.

From,
Chianski Politburo

Admiral Adelard narrowed his eyes at the Chianskian reply. “Forward this to high command. Keep more missiles on standby but do not fire any more. Move the Frigates into firing range of Telver, but again, do not fire. Have the troops unload on the beachheads and set up FOBs and landing sites as soon as possible, and scramble strike fighters for bombing raids.” He bit his lip and strained his eyes to get a better look at the landing sites. “I want those areas secure in three hours. That’s all the time we’ve got.”

The President of Crania Daniel Dudeter was one of the first to reach out, he had been working closely with Prime Minister of LatianBurg to watch the events closely.

To: Chianski Politburo

The Kingdom of Crania will like to work closely with the Governments of Both Adumara & Chianski in helping you both come to agreements that benefit both countries.

Sincerely
President Daniel Dudeter

[hr]

Following pursuit of Crania the Prime Minister Of Subrovania Erna Salberg also sent a email to Chianski

To:Chianski Politburo

I wish to inform you that we will like to pursue diplomatic help to end the war in Chianski

Sincerely
Prime Minister
Erna Salberg

To the Federal Republic of Adumara,

The Fire Pact Alliance has officially declared economic sanctions on Adumara. An economic and military blockade is planned if all military operations against Chainski are not ceased. The aforementioned nation has attempted to resolve the war through peaceful diplomacy, yet based on your willingness to destroy populated cities and observing the recent actions of your fleets, we have deemed this as an act of aggression.

Due to the unjustified aggression, we will seek any methods to terminate the threat as quickly as possible. The following demands are to be met within the next 48 hours or escalation will be the appropriate step.

  1. Cessation of all hostile operations against Chianski

  2. Immediate recall of all military units from the islands and surrounding bodies of water near Chianski.

  3. Negotiating peace with Chianski.

  4. Pay the appropriate costs to any damages made to non-military targets.

If these demands are not met, the appropriate measures will be taken to ensure compliance.

Signed, The Minister of State Security
Empire of Celannica

[hr]
To the Socialist Republic of Chianski,

We, the Fire Pact Alliance, shall immediately act to end the conflict as peacefully as possible. As such, we shall deploy several peacekeeping divisions made up of completely experienced FPA volunteers to promote and maintain peace in the region. In addition, we shall send in a jointed relief aid of 1 billion SHD’s for all of the damages caused by this war.

Signed, The Minister of State Security
Empire of Celannice

Chianski Politburo[/spoiler]

Upon seeing the terms of surrender, Foreign Secretary Jackson Woolf called a meeting with Magistrate d’Arrigo.

“Mr. Magistrate, the terms of surrender are downright imperial. Adumara essentially wishes to annex islands they have no claim to. In addition, Adumara has targeted several civilian critical infrastructure with missile strikes, a clear violation of humanitarian wartime norms. The Fire Pact Alliance is currently extending an economic embargo to their nation, and I believe Furnifold should issue a statement of opposition as well.”

“Just a statement of opposition, Mister Woolf? This calls for something more profound. What ties do we have with Chianski and Adumara?”

“Not much trade with either nation, sir, we trade with Chianski more so than Adumara. Currently, due to the blockade, we have not been able to get supplies into Chianski. We do have a shipbuilding deal with the nation, however, and we have three of their ships sitting in Hafre, waiting to be moved out.”

“Okay, here is what we will do, move all of our Moudge class frigates to carve a path to Chianski. Include the ships we are giving to Chianski. We need to get our aid and trade vessels into the nation, and with the FPA, we will most assuredly get help achieving this goal.”

“Yes, sir. If I may, this path may be risky, as Adumara may retaliate against us.”

“Perhaps, hopefully our non-aggression towards the country, as well as the major implications brought about by the FPA will dissuade Adumara from retaliation.”

Jackson Woolf left his office and got to work. He contacted the members of the FPA, indicating the intentions of Furnifold. He also contacted the Joint Chiefs, to prepare a military escort for the container and aid ships waiting in the sea, for travel to Chianski.

Five Moudge class frigates, two from the North Fleet and three for Chianski, ship off to the beleaguered nation. The frigates are accompanied by one LPH amphibious assault ship, several Pacific class patrol boats, and seven Mi-24 helicopters. Three cargo ships containing bulk dry goods, medical and food aid, and export items, join the North Fleet for travel to Chianski. The plan, to move the frigates and patrol boats into range to create a safe zone for food aid to be delivered to Chianski, by cargo or by helicopter if necessary.

With many of the citizens food supplies starting to run short throughout the nation the police and armed forces began to commandeer abandoned civilian vehicles to deliver food from supermarkets to the isolated pockets of citizens. Across the country power was slowly being restored as backup power generators were deployed to critical infrastructure. And in Telver many transmitters from skyscrapers were being re purposed for use in communication and signal interception as the government attempted to regain communication with stranded military units and civilians.

Ever since being last deployed to deal with Al-Jeehad, the First Fleet was just barely returning to Celannica when an order was issued to them to blockade Adumara. Already being informed about the recent events in Chianski, the fleet would arrive in 3 days tops to blockade Adumara. Only time will tell what will happen next. . .

(The First Fleet is made up of the following:

  • 11 Alcaston Class Frigates

  • 6 Chrysanthemum Class Destroyers

  • 5 Achille Class Cruisers

  • 5 Tonnet Class Submarines

  • 1 Zeda Class Aircraft Carrier)

The captain of one of the Moudge frigates watched the land of Chianski come in as their ship approached. There was no sign of Adumaran ships; either they were not around this island, or the FPA did their intimidation job well. The five frigates moved north, forming a semi circle around open waters, near the entrance to a southern port on Chianski. The container ships entered the port, making dock where they could find it, and, after securing the ships, began the process of unloading the goods.

At first, there was little to no activity from the island. Then, fleets of civilian cars, pickup trucks, and other vehicles surged forward, onto the dock area. A man wearing a uniform got out, indicating he was a serviceman of Chianski. The container shipmen brought manifests of their materials, and told the serviceman that they were here to deliver goods and aid to the citizens. You could almost see the smile begin to form on the grizzled face of the military figure, as he turned around and barked orders to the other drivers in his procession.

It was an incredible sight, watching typical military precision being enacted from the beds of small civilian cars and trucks. The food and aid was loaded into these vehicles, and they sped away from the port, probably to give to civilians in marketplaces. The captains of the container ships breathed a sigh of relief, they were not under attack from a hostile Admumaran nation, or from the very people they were trying to help.

Noticing on radar a series of ships on radar the 220th Battle group quickly heads twords the maritime overlap zone with Chianski. The 220th consisted of 1 submarine, 1 LPD, 3 Cruisers and 2 destroyers. The Capt of the flag ship RLS Princess Mary IV LPD attempted to make contact with the sudden ships " This is Capt.Utenk of the RLS Princess Mary IV the flagship of the 220th of the Royal LatianBurg Navy can you please report who you are , over" he says.

RETCONNED

After hours of tedious work power has finally been restored to all major civilian infrastructure however many key military installations remain offline with power being diverted to key infrastructure such as hospitals and water pumps. With the food arriving from Furnifold and the absence of the Adumaran fleet a DC-10 firefighting aircraft began flying over the islands extinguishing the remaining pockets of fire while another DC-10 began flying reconnaissance over the islands assessing the damage and searching for any signs of human life and dropping aid across the islands.

At Santor firefighters began the grisly work of recovering bodies and assessing the damage done to the International Airport and it’s surroundings. Within hours they had recovered hundreds of body fragments ranging from fingers and feet to legs and charred bodies. With the entire airport building leveled many bodies and possible survivors remained trapped under tonnes of rubble and with only a few mechanical diggers available it would be a long time before they could reach the bottom.

As part of a regional disaster relief planned install the LatianBurg Airforce dropes pallets of crates full of medicines, food, water, blankets and supplies into Chianski northern region. The 8 C-130s were closely guarded by F-35s and made it clear they were only sending Aid to the small island nation.

(OOC: The beginning of the end. . .)

While the first fleet would continue to blockade the Federal Republic of Adumara as usual, another fleet, the 145th Fleet, was scheduled to shortly arrive within a week or so to help further strengthen the Empire’s blockade. Along with that, the First Fleet was informed that more FPA reinforcements would shortly arrive.
