[quote name='Pravus Ingruo' timestamp='1325598649' post='2891456'] Oh the Dolphin Wars... *sigh* [/quote] *sigh*? Boooo! Those times were a blast. Literally, Procinctia was getting blasted up

A recording of a folk song from Republic of War's Western Texas region sung by a very famous actress in the country at the time fills the radio waves, blocking out any transmission. The song spoke about how even though the land seems desolate, as long as we have one another, there will always be prosperity. Some of the soldiers' voices can be heard singing along with it, mostly soldiers with a west Texas draw. This continued for a good five minutes, a show of brute technological force that special forces of the Republic of War were well trained and well equipped. Finally, the song stopped, the voices trailed off, and static was heard for a few moments. Finally, the static stopped, followed then by a few seconds of silence. Some inaudible whispers are heard, then an ordered barked in a very deep voice, "Fangen wir an." (Let's begin.) Instead of the Procinctian captives talking, this time a Republic of War soldier spoke with a noticeable Texas-German accent, though not so thick as to be unintelligible. "We are tired of this propaganda! We have buried and burned your country before, we will do it again! Generalissimo will pay for his arrogance. To add insult to injury, do you not even care for your own? How pitiful of a country the civilians must live in if service to one's country doesn't earn you the respect of your government! There are plenty of men here, we can surely begin executions one by one, live over the air. And we will broadcast it openly so the nations and people around know that loyalty to Generalissimo means nothing. Procinctia does not care about you, Procinctia does not exist for you. How sad to think even when they die, they will not be martyrs in their own land! We pity your soldiers, no wonder fighting during the Dolphin Wars was easy. They have no belief in their country! Accept our demands, this is our final warning. We will not accept propagandist lies. If nothing is heard of substance, the executions begin. After they're done, we will begin a campaign of terror against your country to the last man. We are well prepared, well stocked, and well trained. For the glory of Republic of War! Glory for Highbuzz!" After a few seconds of silence, the names of the captives are read off by themselves, one by one, to verify that they're all still alive. After it concludes, the transmission ends. --- A direct transmission is sent to the other received, "LS Flensborg, nation of origin? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Ally or combatant of Procinctia or neutral? Are you sending forces to our vicinity, our equipment picks up aircraft and ships heading toward our area. Without identification and intent, they will be fired upon." --- Unknown to anyone else besides the LS Flensborg, the group is fully aware of the aircraft converging on their location. Unknown to everyone is the level of dedication, training, sophistication, and the logistics of this group. They are dug in, they are not just on one island, and they have anti-air and anti-ship weaponry as any of the approaching crafts will find out if they enter within range. The group has made many strikes upon Procinctian crafts (commercial, escorts, aircraft, etc) over the months but they go unreported due to a Procinctian unwillingness to address the group due to fear of a direct confrontation.

-- A Procinctian resistance radio operator of a ship taps the Captain on the back -- He salutes, then sighs as he reports that radio contact with the main fleet has been lost. "And something is playing in its place, Captain.. Something we haven't heard in years." "What is it, Private?" "Republic of War, or err Amerikanisches Reich's national anthem." A minute of silent passes, no one moves or no eyes blink, "Put on the radio over the PA Private, I want to hear it." The radio operating walks over to a switch board, flips a switch, and sure enough, a grainy, low quality recording of the Amerikanisches Reich's national anthem, which was the same as the Republic of War's, plays. No lyrics -- simply instrumental. "This has been playing for five minutes now, at first I thought it was some kind of joke... but then I tried radioing the main fleet. I couldn't, we're being jammed, other ships could be jammed as well." The Captain shrugged, "The war is over and they're not even a State anymore, this must be a poltical or military test. It just cannot be that ---" The music stopped,but in its place, heavy breathing came. Again, the silence returned to the room. "We are Procinctian Engineering Group #45. We are being held hostage by Republic of War Special Forces. The ransom is....,” there is a pause and then some German is yelled in the background followed by the sound of a gun-butt hitting flesh. A few seconds later, another voice takes over, “.. is the establishment of direct contact with Republic of War High Command. The group wishes to inform they will not be swayed by Propagandist lies that state the Republic of War is no more. High Command will be contacted or Karl himself must radio the group or else we will continue to be held hostage and all Procinctian and foreign forces will be met with violent response. Respond within 72 hours or the group will take aggressive actions and the safety of the hostages is not guaranteed.” The radio cut back to playing the Amerikanisches Reich national anthem and would continue to for 10 more minutes until a screeching static sound concluded the transmission.

Amerikanisches Reich is surprised by the result however the people have spoke. OOC: Louisiana was one of the more interesting countries to read about when I lurk this board semi-daily. I look forward to reading the later stuff you do.

Amerikanisches Reich hopes that its regional neighbor starts activity on road projects when the budget has been approved. It is sad when government beauracracy and apathy are the reasons why it is not moving forward when it is normally lack of funding.

The land reform seems like a wise decision made by Transvaal to keep minority groups in Transvaal equal to the white majority. Amerikanisches Reich is currently considering land reforms dealing with rural land which is mostly inhabited by minorities and will look over other country's methods (such as Transvaal's) when doing so.

We congratulate our former ambassador on his promotion and eagerly await to welcome a replacement.

Amerikanisches Reich is frightened by the appearance of powerful viruses in the modern age, regardless, we recognize the quarantine and will follow protocol.

Amerikanisches Reich will support the Tahoe Republic by any means necessarily, though that should go without declaring. Amerikanisches military is on standby.

We're a bit tired." [/quote] We're glad to hear you are; we're not.

Congratulations to both nations.

Amerikanisches Reich has notified military officials to be aware of the current situation and voices support for Tahoe's call for the U.S. to withdrawal.

Amerikanisches Reich is keen on regional cooperation and friendship, our government would definitely be willing to hold talks to strength our (lack of) relation.

Amerikanisches Reich has many original pieces of Tahoe's history due to our long and committed friendship with the First Republic of Tahoe. We will preserve these and glorify them as the true works of the nation of Tahoe.

Amerikanisches Reich will be keeping a very close eye on these happenings.
