[OOC: This post, along with the majority of posts in this topic in the future, will be told from the view of the Belarusian Liberation Front. If that changes, I will make sure it is known before the majority of the post has started.[/OOC]
It is now September 4th. The city of Homel is firmly under the control of the Belarusian Liberation Front. The obvious goal of the BLF is to completely get rid of Igor and his corrupt regime. The problem is, what is the fastest and safest way to achieve said goal? To help him answer this question, Zacharias has employed the help of a few experts from across Europe.
Karl Klein: An ex-German army commander, he has become the foremost military expert in Europe. He routinely is contracted out by governments around the globe to find weak points in enemy positions and the best way to cut enemy supply lines. Klein is also contracted out by nations' intelligence agencies, mainly to find likely targets of terrorist organizations and enemy combatants. Karl Klein accepts Zacharias' offer to become the BLF's military and intelligence adviser for the remainder of the war.
Casimir Kujawaski: Considered to be one of the greatest Foreign Affair experts in the world and a Polish Diplomat for over 20 years, he is regularly employed as a consultant to businesses across Europe and America, who wish to start ties with foreign companies and/or nations. He has a hatred for Igor Litvinchuck (it is unknown at this point where this hatred came from), so he agreed to help the BLF without question.
To help keep the citizens living under the BLF happy and willing to enlist, Zacharias has employed the help of a propaganda expert, who wishes to remain anonymous.
An ex-Spetnaz squad leader, who prefers to be known by his nick name, "The Bear", has agreed to train the BLF's military units. Although very little is known about "The Bear", it has been thought by some members of the Belarusian Liberation Front that Russia allowed his employment to the BLF to keep Belarus loyal to Russia, as they may believe Igor will drift towards the West, mostly financially, if he is victorious.
After a few days of opinions and scenarios from the hired experts, and soldiers from the BLF, Zacharias has formulated the first plan to help win the war: Operation Safe-House

Igumen and WarriorSoul hit the nail on the head. Though I believe military action was unnecessary, what you were doing is widely considered "ghosting". You were on their alliance affiliation or more than a few days, without applying for membership. Nobody will look down on IRON for doing this.
My advice to you is to wait until your wars expire, then go to another alliance and apply for membership.

The Year is 2018. Following the death of the previous President, Alexander Lukashenko, the first election without the former President has taken place. There were two candidates in this election, Igor Litvinchuck and Lyubov Navitski.
Igor Litvinchuck was appointed to General of the Belarusian armed forces in 2014, and is well respected throughout the military. Many older citizens like him as well, mainly for his vague promises of reviving the hope of Belarus becoming a military and financial superpower in Eastern Europe. Igor has planned to privatize nearly all of the Belarusian economy in an attempt to revive the stagnate, in some areas declining, economy. Also, he has promised to implement a flat tax and to place corporate taxes (once the majority of the manufacturing industry have become privatized) to less than 5% (depending on the industry). Not surprisingly, the wealthiest of the Belorussians have pledged their support to Igor Litvinchuck, and several western businessmen have already announced plans to create headquarters and business sectors in Belarus following the victory of Igor.
Lyubov Navitski is widely considered (both in Belarus and abroad) a dark horse. Very little is known about his past, but he has won over the hearts of the young people of Belarus, the poor, and the everyday worker. He is now known for his Communist writings that he first started just three years ago. His work ranges from pamphlets to 300 + page novels. Within the last year he has done extensive campaigning for the Presidency, and with every speech he does, TV and Radio interview, even every baby he kisses, he wins the hearts of nearly everyone there. China has promised substantial amounts of foreign aid to Belarus if Lyubov wins the election.
The year is now 2019, a recent poll indicates Lyubov Navitski will receive approximately 73% of the votes.
It is now May 7th, 2019. With elections less than two months away, the two candidates have agreed to do five debates. The first debate will be on May 10th, second debate will be on May 18th, third debate on May 25th, and the fourth and fifth debates will be determined on a later date.
The first debate covered the economy, primarily Privatization v Nationalization. It was rather civilized, as compared to other political debates around the globe. A poll taken a few days after the debate. The results gave a 4% increase to Lyubov Navitski.
The second debate covered Foreign Affairs, primarily a Xenophobic Nature v being on the world stage (I.E. joining NATO or the EU, maybe ally with Russia, etc. etc.). Lyubov Navitski made the argument for a reserved foreign policy, whereas Igor Livitinchuck made an argument for possibly joining the EU. Again, compared to other political debates, this one was conducted civilly, and it extremely rarely went off topic. Again, a poll was conducted a few days after the debate. Igor's ratings rose a substantial amount, about 15%, leaving the predicted amount of votes still in Lyubov's favor, although diminished. Lyubov: 62% Igor: 38%
The third debate covered the state of Belarus' military. It's military is still heavily reliant on soviet-era weapons. Each side agreed the country must update it's military, although they were in disagreement over the amount of resources and manpower that should be invested into improving the military. Lyubov favored a small military, and over the course of about 15 years it will spend about 3-4% of it's GDP on it's military, and 1.5-2% annually after that. Based on reports of several military and economic experts, it will update aprox. 70-72% of it's military in those 15 years (all things held constant). Igor favored a far greater emphasis on Belarus' military, spending approximately 18% of its GDP on updating Belarus' military over 15 years, and 8-10% annually after that. Based on reports of several economic and military experts, it will update aprox. 92-95% of it's military in those 15 years. This debate was conducted with a degree of hostility. Several attendees were escorted out due to screaming obscenities at the debaters, and two were banned from the premises due to fighting. Igor's ratings increased, ~ 6%. Lyubov: 56% Igor: 44%
The fourth debate has been scheduled for June 1st.
The fourth debate covered the social side of Belarus, such as personal freedoms (i.e. religious freedom, freedom of speech, etc.), treatment of the poor, Homosexuals, and ethnic minorities. Lyubov is firmly against religion, saying "Religion breeds condescending attitudes and hatred towards our fellow man, and therefore has no right in our society". He has also stated "Freedom of speech in itself is good, it makes people think. The problem is people are to susceptible to propaganda, and Free Speech can be used to turn us against each other. That is the very thing we can't have have that in this precious time, and therefore shouldn't be allowed." As to the treatment of the poor, gay, and ethnic minorities, "They are people too, we should treat them as such. They should have access to everything everyone else in our country does". Igor couldn't have been farther opposite. "If we wish to call ourselves free, shouldn't we have these freedoms? We aren't autocratic, we are democratic. We can't tell our citizens what they can and can't do." As to the poor, "Why should the successful cater to the poor? It's not our fault they are poor.". As to homosexuals, "I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the gays, but they can't choose their sexual preference. We can't hate them for something they cannot change." As for ethnic minorities, "Last time I checked, this nation is called Belarus. Unless you are Belorussian, or are here on business, you have no business here." Igor's ratings increased slightly, ~ 2%. Lyubov: 54%, Igor: 46%
The fifth and final debate has been scheduled on June 5th.
The fifth debate was an audience/viewer questionnaire of sorts. Members of the audience and people watching at home were able to ask the candidates their own questions. This debate increased Igor's rating very slightly, ~ 1%.
The last poll, taken only three hours after the debate, put Lyubov in the lead by a slim 4% margin.
Election day will be the first of July.
Three hours before the polls open, Lyubov is found dead. Cause and time of death is unknown.
Due to a lack of another candidate, Igor Litvinchuck is declared the winner.
Large scale riots ensure, claiming foul play by Igor. These riots happen all across Belarus, not a single city or town is spared. ~ $2.7 Million USD worth of property has been damaged or destroyed in the span of 11 hours. Reports are coming in of ~800 people have been injured and about 63 people have been killed, 27 of whom were members of the Police. Riot police have been ineffective in most areas. Igor has called in the military to help quell the riots.
July 8th, martial law has been put into place. Any person displaying "rebellious behavior" will be indefinitely detained. Reports are conflicting; Government sources put the amount injured at ~ 1,100, and the death toll at 90. Statistics attained from hospitals and other sources has put the injured and death toll much higher. ~7,700 injured and ~ 852 have died. The amount detained is speculative, but claims range from 3,000- 9,000 people have been detained.
August 20th, riots have been quelled in most cities. Government sources claim the injured number has risen to ~2,500, and only about 120 people have died. Hospitals and other sources, again, claim the number to be much, much higher. ~12,400 people have been injured, and over 4,700 people have been killed. Although there is little proof, the amount of detainees has reportedly risen to over 70,000 people.
September 1st, reports are coming in from the city of Gomel of a group, calling themselves the "Belarusian Liberation Front", has completely overwhelmed the military police stationed there, who are now fleeing the city. The Belarusian Liberation Front is led by a person named Zacharias, official reports say he is a Polish immigrant, although there isn't much proof to back up the claim.
Zacharias demands Igor to step down and allow a second election, Igor obviously denies and makes a counter offer. "If you lay down your arms and turn yourselves in, we won't kill you." Zacharias gracefully declines.
The Belarusian Liberation Front, calling the city of Homyel it's capital, begin the long road to their ultimate goal.

Surely the Terran Empire could have prevented these Alliances from publicly embarrassing themselves? I'm all for giving people a fair go but after previous displays of ineptitude, someone should be stepping in to educate these people. They're your responsibility now.
Condescending much?
It's always good to see friends come together. Congrats on the treaty.

Interesting.... I await the rise of
Pax Romanaerrr... The Roman Empire :DThere is not enough emperor666 for this to be Pax Romana :wacko:

I feel bad for Novus Omega in this situation. They have to deal with broncokid and his calls for attention, truly a fate worst than death.
-
What the hell is up with all these mergers? And into HB?

-
Very impressive, that was really good.
-
I can't believe after all of this time Polaris is still taking the bait on BF1's forum posts.
-
Well not really. I just don't understand when people write long posts and expect me to read the whole thing. I just pick apart the important parts and respond to those.
Maybe don't bother to argue with people if you aren't going to bother reading through their entire posts? They post their arguments. If you only read half of it (if that), your view on their argument/opinion is nearly 100% different. Then your reply doesn't make any sense, and in the end it makes you look like a fool.

I know Kapella! He's a cool guy, wait till he is out of office to start a coup, okay? :awesome:
-
I didn't even know you guys were still around, congrats on staying around and to those elected.
-
I think the victory here was the maker of the thread also made the first reply. 'grats on that.
Oh, and the treaty. 'grats on that as well.

Fox Fire has to be one of the worst posters in Boiler Room history. Picking one post of Fox Fire's to as evidence wouldn't do justice to all of the others.
Tom Riddle/Winner and his near constant topics regarding his mistakes in the game was extremely annoying, but honestly at some points they were very entertaining to read.
Loki/Lex Luther(or?) isn't a bad poster, just annoying to argue things with in the Boiler room due to his habit of replying to parts of the post, not it's entirety. Plus all of the assumptions he makes on said parts of the post really gets on my nerves.

How is this a "please don't roll us thread?" I've said countless times they can go ahead if they so choose and use some ludicrous reason to do so. It was more of a "use these claims to try and roll us or move along thread"
If their truly was a valid CB here then I'm sure we'd be seeing something to follow it knowing how hungry for war Bob is. We don't, so move along.
You seriously don't know why people are saying this is a "please don't roll us" thread? You posted private messages you had with a member of another government, and repeatedly say "this is a flimsy CB" (despite Kashmir saying they didn't/don't plan on using this as such). What did you expect people to think?
-
'grats on the return to 4 million.

Daggerfall flag is pretty cool.
Anyways, always nice to see micros being protected.
-
It still failure, you were the leader and if the internal situation sucked, well guess what? Its you job to fix it, you didn't, so its failure ;)
maybe in your eyes but if you can't tell, I don't care what you think.
Sometimes you have to realize it's broken beyond repair. Was it a failure, in a way, yes. However, the way you conducted this issue doesn't bode well for your alliance. And the way you continue to point out my faults really cements that point.
-
You're gonna merge a decently successful 36 man alliance? Alright then its failure not abandonment. Apologies.
It's not failure. You don't know what our inner situation was. I'm not going to derail this thread further, because as it seems you are just going to take personal attacks to make yourself feel better about your mistakes. Every time you post you are just making yourself look worse and worse.
-
Meh can't really call yourself mature and take the moral high road when you abandon an alliance you lead. It really has nothing to do this, its just a reminder that you are not really what I'd consider to be the perfect judge of someones maturity levels. Especially looking at half the posts from your alliance and your allies.
You really want to know what happened? We are merging. That's not abandonment. I'm getting everything hammered out before we move over.
-
Welp I'm mature enough to not leave my alliance leaderless and inactive, tell me how is Sithis handling since you left?
either way throw around your opinion, it makes no difference to anything.Obviously you aren't mature at all. What happened to Sithis has nothing to do with this issue and frankly isn't any of your business. Yet why bring it up? Because you want to distract how you make your alliance look like a bunch of fools?
-
I called a trolling attempt immature.
What's your point? Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it "trolling".
-
The funny thing is your mocking my maturity when I'm one of the very few people here not trying to be a troll.
I just find it rather hypocritical that you call others not mature when you and masterchief make a petty thread like this.

Operation Safe-House
Overview: The goal of this operation is to gain control of the Gomel province. By doing so, it will decrease the chance of encirclement significantly. Also, it will give the Belarusian Liberation Front a border with Ukraine and Russia. If an arms deal can be established with Russia and/or Ukraine, it will guarantee the weapons and ammo get to the soldiers safely. It will also grant partial control over two rivers, which will allow relatively quick and safe transport of supplies to soldiers on the front, if the operation is successful.
Regime Forces: Scouts have reported about 12,750 regime soldiers operating in the area. The scouts have not sighted any armor. However, there is believed to be anywhere from 70 - 135 BMP-2's, 33 - 55 T-72's, and 8 T-80's in reserves throughout the area. It is unknown if Igor's regime has any form of Artillery in the area.
Belarusian Liberation Front Forces: The BLF has approximately 14,000 combat ready soldiers. At this point, the BLF doesn't have any soldiers trained in the use of military armor or infantry fighting vehicles, and therefore will only use them as a last resort. The BLF has gained control of 15 D-20 artillery pieces after they gained control of the city of Gomel.
Operation Start Time: September 5th, 2:00 am.
Details: The 1st BLF Brigade (consisting of 5,000 soldiers, and 7 D-20 Artillery pieces) and the 3rd BLF Brigade (consisting of 1,000 soldiers and 1 D-20 Artillery piece) , will assault the not-yet-constructed armor base on the outskirts of Mazyr, then move into the city itself. Scout reports have led us to believe the majority of regime forces in the province are in and around the city of Mazyr (~ 7,000 soldiers), so victory there is crucial.
The 2nd BLF Brigade (Consisting of 5,000 soldiers and 6 D-20 Artillery pieces), will attack the city of Zholbin. The city itself has been turned into one big warehouse, stuffed to the brim with medical and food supplies. Since the city of Gomel fell to the BLF, supplies have been shipped out, but a substantial amount remains. Controlling the city equals control of all of those supplies, an opportunity that can't be passed up. Regime forces total about 4,500 soldiers.
The 4th BLF Brigade (consisting of 1,500 soldiers and one D-20 Artillery piece), will travel along the Dnieper River, finding and eliminating Regime forces, until they reach the province of Magileu. Once they reach the province, they will dig in.
The 5th BLF Brigade (consisting of 1,500 soldiers and one D-20 Artillery piece) will travel along the Prypyats' river, finding and eliminating Regime forces, until they reach the province of Brest. Once they get there, they will dig in.
Chances of Success: High. Artillery strikes on concentrated areas of Regime forces, added with the time of day, will cause heavy losses within the first minutes of fighting. Survivors will be thrown into disarray, and will be easy pickings for the regular ground forces.
