Zoot Zoot Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 With CVBG Grey Wolves and the Legion Navy now blocking the Dardanelles southern passage into the black sea to prevent any and all Ukranian shipping. The ball was placed into Ukraines court to respond. In Turkey, air units were re-deployed to the north coast to offer more coverage of the black sea.

Captain Enema Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 1st Battle Group, JOINT TERROR Task Force Given the support shown the terror group that inflicted the heinous terror attack on the islands of Hawaii, the 1st Battle Group is alerted to make its own long term preparations for a deployment in support of a possible ground offensive in Ukraine. Two Air Strike Regiments consisting each of 60 planes are assigned to the 1st Battle Group. Long term logistical planning is started and orders are sent out to ensure that stocks are brought up to wartime levels. Task Force Dardenelles will need a few days to join the Babylonians but is now en-route to pass through the Suez Canal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zigur Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The World Peace Foundation is deeply concerned that a blockade of Ukrainian shipping will affect the shipping of other countries in the Black Sea, and calls for the presentation of proof to demonstrate how tiny Ukraine was able to affect Hawaii.

Zoot Zoot Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 It is of the opinion of the Empire that it would serve Ukraines best interests to not antagonise the nation who holds its trade and connection to the outside world by a thread. Classified Both B-2 squadrons would begin an alternating patrol pattern to maintain twenty four hour coverage of the Black Sea and Ukrainian Ports. Highly Classified Efforts would begin by NetOps lauching a covert and subtle cyber attack on Ukranian gas and oil utilities with the intent of planting a logic bomb. It would take some hours to infiltrate the network without detection and plant the worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Enema Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Operation Sideshow The men of the 3rd Para tumble out of their planes over the skies of Port Sudan. The old Legion center had been informed of their arrival and is waiting for them. While the full integration of this city into Kingdom authority will take quite sometime, it will serve as a as a forward staging post for the time being. Over the coming weeks nearly a mass of men and machines will be organized at the old Legion city and prepare for operations elsewhere while a dedicated Civil Action Team is sent to bring the city of Port Sudan and the outlying areas all the way up to the Alexandrian border under the control of the Kingdom. post 1 of 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 With the collapse of the Kingdom of Axum and its military forces returning home to their families, Babylon stood alone now simply on principle. It would stand firm and maintain the blockade. In light of the Ukrainian declaration to sink any Babylonian warship in the black sea, three Scimitar Corvettes and one Faith Frigate would begin saiing northwards until they reached the black sea. If they remained unmolested until they entered the black sea, they would take up a patrol pattern to blockade the northern entrance. They would remain on high alert and the frigates helicopters would perform ASW operations. From Anatolia, two P-3 Orion aircraft would assist in the patrol and deploy a ring of bouys to detect any submarine threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphaia Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Hungary-Slovakia government firmly states again: Although you are not directly blockading us or Belarus, both Hungary-Slovakia and Belarus' economy relies heavily on the ports in Ukraine, and therefore our economies are impacted by this blockade. While Hungary-Slovakia wishes to remain neutral in this stand-off, we will not stand by while our economy, or Belarus'-- our closest ally's-- economy is being negatively affected. You have 24 hours to end the blockade, or reimburse both Hungary-Slovakia and our ally Belarus for damages done to our nations and economies. Estimated damages so far is 500 million dollars each, and the cost continues to grow as the blockade continues. Failure to either end the blockade by 24 hours or to reimburse damages, will be considered an act of war on Hungary-Slovakia, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Then consider it an act of war if you wish. We will not harm Hungary, nor seek aggressive actions against hungary. The same applies for Belarus if they follow your decision to seem this blockade against Ukraine, as an act of war against a landlocked nation based on trade. One would think it would be a simple process of re-routing trade goods overland to ports in Europe such as Italy or Yugoslavia, both states are closer to Hungary anyway so you save money in transport costs. Belarus could likewise transport through the European protectorate or through Moscovy to ports. It is regrettable that such financial sums are being lost in Hungary, but I am sure the revenue will be picked up through increased air and overland trade across Europe and other European ports.

Mr Director Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 In order to better understand the situation, the Republic of Belarus would like to enquire Babylon just what it is trying to achieve here.

Euphaia Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 If it is regrettable that your nation is causing such harm, then end this needless blockade. Otherwise prepare to suffer the consequences. Hungary-Slovakia will not be cowed by aggressors nor bullies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 *Response to Belarus* The Hungarian boycott of Tikal led to the Kingdom of Axum placing restrictions against Hungary. As the Ukranians are allies of the Hungarians and got a warship sunk in the Pacific for attempting to interfere with an investigation in to the world's most serious terror event to date, the blockade is in place to prevent further interference from Ukraine in regions it has no reason to be getting involved with. Response to Hungary We are not trying to cow Hungary, or be aggressive towards Hungary or even bully Hungary. We just told you we have no interest in pursuing an aggressive war with Hungary. We even pointed out alternative routes for Hungary to ship its goods unmolested. Classified In response to the declaration of war by Hungary, CVBG Imperial Prerogative was put out to sea and stationed by Cyprus. In addition to the B-2's deployed in Turkey, the following squadrons were also deployed to Turkish bases. x2 Squadron of Tu-160 blackjack x3 F-22 (++ Upgrades) x2 A-10 II Warthog x3 Tornado ECR x6 Saab JAS 39 Gripen (++ upgrades) --- 3 squadrons deployed to Cyprus x6 F-15 Silent Eagles --- 3 squadrons deployed to Cyprus x6 F-14D (++ Upgrades) --- 3 squadrons deployed to Cyprus 3rd Corps Imperial Guard was deployed to Cyprus. 7th Corps, 3rd army was deployed to Turkey on its northern coasts onto the Black Sea.

Euphaia Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 We have also told The Empire how to peacefully avoid war, as well. End your disruptive blockade or pay for the damages caused by the blockade. When one of these conditions have been met, the declaration of war will be rescinded and peace will be offered.

Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Empire will pay no bill caused by nation mismanagment and deliberate neglect of far cheaper alternatives. It doesn't even make sense for Hungarian reliance on Ukraine be so effective considering the plethora of European ports that are far closer to home. Hungarian shipping is NOT being impeded in any way, shape or form. The Empire fails to see how there is a problem. The blockade is on Ukranian shipping, nothing else, trade should still be flowing freely with the exception of Ukranian vessels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphaia Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Hungary-Slovakia has alot of trade with Ukraine. We also have a port in Ukraine.

Zoot Zoot Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Hungarian port and shipping is not under blockade. We repeat this point and hope that a change of heart about war comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphaia Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 So long as the Hungarian port, and all Hungarian trade ships are respected and not hindered in any way, Hungary-Slovakia, and there will be no aggression given at all towards any member-nation of the CDT bloc, Hungary-Slovakia offers white peace to the Empire. We do suggest that this blockade be ended as quickly as possible, however, for the good of the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
