//OOC: Keeping it short and sweet. I'm assuming I won't be hindered by anyone since I announced my intentions earlier. //

The first of the Irish medical teams arrived in the area via commercial planes onto coastal areas of the [b]insert closest land-based point here[/b], where they would put themselves in harm's way to go out in small, fast but sturdy boats that could be used to pull sailors out from the water. The boats carried white flags with the words 'MEDIC' in large font in both English and Korean and much extra gasoline. They expected not to find many live British sailors, but found a remarkably high number of sailors who were clinging to life. Many had burns and would probably succumb to infection from being in the water, and others were already close to death, but over the course of the 24 hours since the explosion many sailors had stubbornly refused to die. About two dozen had been simply knocked over board by the mini-tsunami, but the majority of the survivors were from the HMS Hood.

All in all, over the course of several painstaking hours and two boat failures, two hundred and sixty live sailors were recovered, with twenty-two expected to die even with immediate care. Around six hundred bodies were recovered, most of them deaths from the explosion on the Hood or drowning victims from the corvettes.

Classified to the Coalition:

The Republic of Texas has deemed that sending fighting men and women to the front will not cause Korea to fall faster. Therefore, Texas offers its elite Pararescue brigade for services to the coalition. These fighting men and women medics are specially trained for HALO as well as line jumps into any enemy controlled positions (land, sea, air) to retrieve stranded servicemen. Texas's Pararescue men and women are trained to drive any modern vehicle and fight with modern and outdated fire arms in addition to having the highest medic classification in the Texas armed forces. Five hundred can be deployed and on scene in under twenty-four hours. Let us know if you are in need of our services.

The attacks from the UFE were the most devastating. Partly due to their technology, and partly to their experience occupying Korea, their surgical strikes had a higher efficiency than the rest of the coalition combined, even when accounting for the smaller amount of force used. The strikes at the fortrified shipyards were largely successful, and the action so far destroyed 10% of Korea's AA and radar network capabilities, and effectively ended the capital surface navy.

Hanyang (fromer Seoul) was for now lucky. The hastily built AA system there somehow managed to destroy the EPWs headed for the bunker system to the north of Seoul, thereby preventing the destruction of the third most important command center of Daehan. However, things were not as well for the Jeonnam Regional Command. While one of the EPW was finished, two managed to hit the center, effectively causing the collapse of th chain of command of the central part of the southern coastline. Casualties would would total approxiamtely 25,000, with the regional heaquarters being moved slightly north up the mountain range.

The three massive explosions along the Korean-Zargathian Border shoke the mountains of the Northern Korea, with the blast effects being felt into Zargathia. In the end, however, the attacks would have very limited effects militarily. The widely separated bunkers meant that they were hardly affected, being the backbone of the Korean's plans to draw this conflict out, resulting in only 20,000 casualties and 700 destroyed tanks for all the troubles, while the outdated AA guns have managed to down seven of the nuclear weapons dropped. The F-23s and FB-23s would also be damaged in the firefight, enough to put some of the enemy aircraft out of action for the rest of the war.



The general state of the Korean defenses, despite the massive missile strikes, was altogether not so grim as another country in Korea's position would be in. 20% of all AA capacities were down, with the majority focused on the high-tech missiles. Radar facilities were 40% destroyed, effectively blackening Chosun's eyes to the west. Finally, the regional open air bases were effectively eliminated from the battlefield, leaving only the emergency runways and the underground air fields active.

Yet, the mountainous terrian still offered enough redoubts for a long-term insurrection. At the same time, the use of UAVs allowed Korea to at least keep enough eyes open to at least be able to target threats with nuclear and strategic weapons, as the near invisible UAVs maintained an unstable line of sight out in the South and East Korea Sea. More importantly, a special station in the east offered a clear view on the naval and air activities of the coalition.

Meanwhile, several flights of the AN-2s that Chosun had managed to help two companies of the Reconnaissance Brigades inflitrate into Kyushu and Nagoya. Upon entering into Japan, the companies split into approximately forty squads, and began hiding out in the deep mountains of Central Kyushu and the Japanese Alps. They would lie low for now, not communicating with each other or Korea, until they would go into action at their own inititives. Their existence would be a great danger to the coalition, since one they started operations, Japan would be thrown into chaos.....


A notice was sent out to the world from the Korean Representative in Germany, saying that there would be an announcement from the [b][i]Eternal President of the Greater Korean Republic[/i][/b] soon.



OOC: Naval battles will be updated separately, after I get a better view of what is where. Please post in the Korean OOC thread the positions of the naval forces within Northeast Asia.

I'm not going to RP much about how I counterattacked the air strikes. Just use common sense and RP a bit of damages.

Also, would you mind RPing only the buildup of forces for now (except for the rolls already done but not RPed out)? I would like to have the announcement happen first, before the war "continues".

***Classified***

A classified transmission was sent to all nations allied against Korea, that the [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=94597&view=findpost&p=2739327"]Empire once again had a navy[/url]. They were also informed of the Empire's intentions with that navy.

[Triyun]

Most enemy air defenses that could hit high altitude aircraft were now supressed and enemy radar had a whole shot through it to let through the UFE's strikers.

Following up on the powerful nukes delivered from the Cadians, the UFE deployed ten Tu-160s overhead with a reduced radiation 40 megatonner, their final triggers were disabled similar to the test Tsar Bomba to yield and extraordinarily relatively clean fusion powered reaction at 19.9 megatons a piece. Each dropped one of these bombs from high altitude down onto their targets, their aim was to strike slightly inland from the Zargathian Border on areas where high concentrations of forces from the Korean Army were hiding based on seismic data. Further with such high yields and in bomb packages designed for maximum earth penetration, it was likely that the weapons would not only suck the oxygen out of the bases the Koreans were hiding suffocating those who did not die in the initial explosions to death but also create a extreme geological instability from their sheer force caving in areas for miles around. Targets were chosen according to a picture that was now starting to build from seismic wave centers across the Federation. These were calculated to do the maximum amount of damage to the overall structure.

Following up on the formation of Tu-160s, 2 Squadrons of F-1s were ordered to scan the battle space from high altitude, if missile sites or radar sites turned their sensors on, the F-1s would engage with directed energy weapons and focused radar energy to fry those circuitry and keep the strikers protected. 18 F-3s meanwhile relaunched from bases in Transamur, equipped with guided cluster munitions they made high speed high altitude passes to knock out the AA guns which had opened up on the F-23s and F/B-22s.

UFEs battleship flotilla in the Yellow Sea after a brief period of cooling began precision firing at the remaining defenses concentrated around the Pyongyang Area. Attacks against populated areas in the metro area versus the provincial level were mostly carried out with precision cruise missiles while provincial tactical targets were engaged by rail gun. Bunkers located by satellite in the area were engaged by 25 bunker busting strategic themobaric ballistic missiles designed to inflict maximum damage. This was then followed up by a flight of 8 B-9, 4 B-10s, 5 Tu-160s, and 36 F-2s engaging the weakened bunker structure first with ER-M-51 bunker busting shaped charge cruise missiles and a final blow by waves of smaller NG Tactical Air Missiles with fragmenation charges. Three Tu-160 R would use their advanced IR electro-optic scopes and massive body radar to scan the area for enemy drones and enemy fighters. If found they would be engaged by on-board tactical lasers as well as have their coordinates forwarded with lock on information to the F-2s which each were armed with 2 Air to Air NGTAM variants.

With air defense suppression in place and a radar network chewed through, the UFEs 1st Special Operation Combat Brigade made its assault on the coast of North Pyongan 20 miles south of the Zargathain Border. Using Reduced RCS black hawk helicopters the Brigade put teams in below the radar once ordinance had confirmed the area was clear of bombardment fire. Drone units scanned the terrain with magnetic anomaly detectors, synthetic aperture radar, and electro optical IR scanners looking for enemy movement and terrain, while pair of Tu-160 R provided defense against enemy missiles and long range explosive ordinance disposal. The Special Operations Brigades primary duty was scouting, thus they would move in small teams for scouting, using the active Xenias camouflage, which provided both stealth and NBC protection, teams would begin on the ground scouting of the Korean bunker positions, while using their HUD and drone cover to avoid the possibility of ambush.

A second special operations force the 8th Special Air Operations Combat Brigade would also operate in the area using the helicopters to rapidly transit the area and deposit sonar systems to begin further building out a picture of the bunker system. These units would rely on drone support to keep AA guns off their back, having the cereberus drones fly overhead of a position target and deploy cluster munitions to knock out AA guns if they were detected.

Meanwhile the 2nd and 11th Marine Expeditionary units would make their land fall at Nampo. NBC sniffer drones would be deployed alongside the land fall, with HPM equipped electronic warfare craft standing by to engage a nuke if the Koreans had one waiting in their capital. The initial strike force would use offshore Chongqing Class Transport Docks to deploy EFVs against Hardened positions while also providing 155 mm cover fire. While the larger strike group would continue to assemble to land on secure beach heads.

Hitting the shores troops would proceed with caution advancing taking advantage of PLAAF ISR overhead to avoid ambushes. Buildings that were entered into would first be scouted by UGVs. Let the robots die first.

In the East, the UFE Sea of Japan Fleet used the rail guns on its cruiser and destroyer to engage surviving radar positions and further open up a corridor for strikers to attack from that side as well. 100 MJ rail gun batteries setup in the forests around Ehestadt further added to this assault. Mobile missile trucks with arclight hypersonic carriage modified tomahawks were added to the mix to hit hardened targets with kinetic energy tips for maximum penetration. 80 MRBM TELs were used to engage surviving command centers and air fields in the North to bring them down.

OOC: Do not assume my units will be blindly charging forward into the city, I am having them scout but I don't wanna have them push too far ahead without giving you a chance to deploy defenses. All units have ENBC protection.

OOC: Edited Pyongan from Pyongyang was a typo, also edited nukes according to GM compromise

With military targets successfully identified in South Korea by the Electronic Warfare Brigade, the 420th and 430th Strategic Squadrons would begin high altitude bombing runs across South Korea at the same time the United Federation of the East began their assault on the north. Radar emplacements, missile batteries and air bases would be the primary targets, followed by military bases and underground bunkers. All target information was relayed to the UFE and additional targets located via dedicated fiber lines laid between the UFE and Selenarctos a decade ago.

The opening munitions would be delivered aboard medium range plane-launched cruise missiles to targets on the west coast of Korea, closest to the plane's launch point in the UFE. As the Korean air defenses were weakened, 2O37 raids supported by F22 Air Superiority fighters would venture further into Korea armed with heavy munitions to level military fortifications and both the Massive Ordnance Penetration (MOP) and Selenarctos-developed MOP-C to destroy underground bunkers.

At the former Ground Force command outside of Manila, with the Electronic Warfare Brigade reporting they had reached the limits of the South Korean internet and would need on-site access to locate North Korean targets, attention now turned toward satellite reconnaissance and the United Federation of the East's landings in North Korea.

Maksim Trumpledor was a mild-mannered 37 year-old train conductor with Marscurian Siberian Eastern, charged with the Mietonka-Tianjin line every Thursday. However, he was also a mild-mannered sergeant in the Marscurian Siberian Army Reserve, and had personally volunteered to enter the war with Korea based on a personal grudge he had ever since the Korean TV he had bought blew out right before the ending of the Hawaii Five-O season finale, and he had to listen to how great it was at work. There would be blood. For his ardent showing of bravery and patriotism, he was chosen to engage in [i]Operation Army of One[/i].

He had trained all Monday afternoon for this moment. When his train reached the middle of the line in Zargathia, he would slow it down to a mere 15 miles an hour. Handing the controls over to the other engineer, he grabbed his weapon, an MRPG-7 grenade launcher, and tucked and rolled out of the train and out of the way of the tracks. It was merely a two day hike, in which he had to stalk, kill, and butcher a deer with his machete, to the Korean border, where the allied armies were in wait slugging it out. Unpacking his weapon, he loaded a grenade into the launcher and fired it at the first thing on the Korean side that contributed to the war effort, in this case... a cow.

"BOOK 'EM DANNO," he yelled as he fired at the animal, blowing the enemy cow to pieces. Loading another round into the tube, he went searching for something that more directly contributed to the war effort.

The CH-53k's had been flying well below RADAR when they departed and their revolutionary design made them one of the stealthiest helicopters in Britain's RAF. Coated in RAM, given flatter surfaces an harsher angles to deflect/absorb RADAR, not to mention a new design in blades to reduce acoustics and a specially designed exhaust system to reduce thermal detection drastically.

The SBS units had been flying in the CH-53K's for the better part of an hour when the order came to bail into the ocean roughly ten miles from Jindo. Beneath the helicopters were four CRRC's and small outboard motors, these would also be dropped into the sea for the soldiers to use. With ten men per craft, twenty CRRC'S were deployed.

The two hundred man force broke off into it's five platoons to the different landing locations, cutting the outboards off one miles from shore and using paddles to remain silent. It was hoped the ongoing bombardment from the fleet would cover any sound made.

It was another hour before the first boats were dragged onto the beaches and hidden. It was coming up to midnight, the first marines would be hitting Jindo island at 7am and the SBS had to ensure the landing beaches were clear of Korean forces.

The platoons callsigns were razor, blade, scooby, dolphin
and bulldog and they spread out covertly, a mile between each platoon ensured good coverage of the area. SATINT had identified a hardened artillery position that so far had avoided being taken out by the bombardment, though suffering two direct hits, IR observation from UAV's observed it as still being quite active. A UAV had also identified what might possibly be a TEL, but overhead coverage obscured the view. Dolphin platoon would recce the possible TEL location and Razor would move towards the artillery position whilst the other three Platoons split into four squads of ten men and started combing the landing area for concealed positions missed by the satellites and UAV's.

[b]Operation Legendary Muskrat[/b]

The Canadian Aircraft flew over the Sea of Japan, 5 B-2 stealth bombers, escorted by 10 AC-77A multi-role stealth fighters, followed by 12 C-130 Hercules cargo planes, headed towards Busan. The first wave of the attack would come from 5 AC-77As, which would hit anti-air defences around the airport with [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-12"]GBU-12D Paveway IIs[/url]. The other 5 AC-77As would protect the B-2's which headed for the city proper. The B-2's would drop [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_77_bomb"]Mark 77 Napalm bombs[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GBU-16_Paveway_II"]GBU-16 Paveway IIs[/url] on industrial areas and military installations, including anti-air defences, bridges over the Nakdong and Suyeong Rivers, as well targeting ground forces positions.

Following the bombardment, the Canadian Airbourne Regiment would parachute into the fields just outside of Busan, one battalion would capture the airport, the other two would cross a bridge, deliberatly left standing by the Airforce, and move into the suburb of Gimhae. Once the airport was secured, the Canadian Commando Regiment,the Labrador Dragoons and the Newfoundland Engineers would be deployed, to move into Busan proper.

Although having chosen not to declare war on Korea, the Cajun Federation was nonetheless ready to act upon the call to arms by the agreements and statements made at Geneva. As soon as the conflict had been seen brewing on the horizon, the Cajun Federation had readied its air force for a support operation for other members of the coalition. Flying from their bases in Louisiana and Mississippi, F-15E Strike Eagle fighters would escort a large air convoy of tankers, transport aircraft, and electronic warfare aircraft into the battle zone. Making the journey across the Gulf of Mexico before heading to Novak's African territory, from there they would then relay themselves to bases in the United Federation of the East, particularly Taiwan and other designated zones in Japan.

Upon arrival in the region, these aircraft, especially the support aircraft, would be crewed with multi-lingual staff who were able to work with the other coalition partners. The air-to-air tankers were tp fly missions outside of the combat zone, providing mobile gas stations, escorted by at least four F-15E Strike Eagle fighters each for protection. Other aircraft included JSTARs and AWACs aircraft which loitered closer to the action, and were also escorted around the clock by fighters. The aircraft would only be equipped for air-to-air combat, and would not fire unless fired upon or in any "imminent danger".

On the ground, forward-operating maintenance staff and security personnel would work with other coalition partners in establishing themselves at the airbases so that the Federation could provide the best support service it could for other members of the coalition.

As the initial stages of Vaule's military operations got underway, the Vaulian Air Force was charged to conduct extensive reconnaissance of the Greater Korean Federation in order to better target enemy forces and military infrastructure. In order to simplify the process, the Air Force focused almost entirely on northern Korea. The first step was to move two military satellites over the conflict zone. Once the satellites were in position, the Air Force began to carefully examine the data they received.

The soldiers closely examined mountain ranges and the coastline in an attempt to find any signs of Korean bunkers or underground military facilities. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to locate any underground facilities or bunkers during their initial sweep. As soon as their lack of success was reported to their senior officers, the Vaulian Air Force ordered the deployment of a squadron of Bu-24Z (Su-24MR) reconnaissance aircraft to the frontlines in order to get a better picture of the situation. The aircraft would be sent to UFE territory (OOC:Primorsky Krai)and refueled for their mission.

Despite not locating any bunkers, the Vaulian recon teams shared all intel with the coalition nonetheless.

[Kankou]

The speech was sent out from the Korean station in Zargathia.


"For too long we have allowed the rotten collaborists to take away what is truely the legacy of Korea. They have allowed themselves to ally with foreigners in order to prolong their power, and have given away Korean land. As the Eternal President of the Greater Korean Republic, I haev ordered the liquidation of the ofer Federal Government, with both the Emperor and Kap Seungil executed.

We shall fight to the end. The Koreans are the pureset people on earth, and our history as a single nation, older than any other, is what sets us apart. We shall use any methods availabe to us to protect what we had establish, so be warned."


All around Chosun, millions of the Worker-Peasant Red Guard and the KPA Young Red Guards Cadets began planting wooden mines and various traps throughout the country, on the roads, in the cities. While the lack of small arms meant they could not be a fighting force, they were still important in maintaining the defenses by establishing barriers for the invading forces.

The nuclear weapons used by the UFE had relatively small casualties, with around 30,000 man disabled or dead as a result. However, the massive vibrations from the bombs allowed the UFE to see the possibility of maping out at least the western part of the Chosun bunker system. They would now need to attempt to do more exact bombings, with their sensors open, to beginning mapping.


Another nuclear weapon was launched, this time at the UFE forces attempting to land in Nampo. The human observer at the island of Yongsan, in front of Nampo, had seen the forces incoming, and gave the data for the launch. This time, it was a simple 10 kiloton weapon, enough to kill off the landing forces. For the possibility that the missile might be shot down, twenty-five 55 ton-blast FOABs were launched around the sea west of Nampo. There would be no way the landing forces would set foot on the enterance to Pyongyang. Meanwhile, The weapon that was launched at the Canadian paratroopers would explode with ease, killing off the threat to Busan.

The UFE/British recon forces would have a safe landing, although soon they would be facing the KOrean forces.


Meanwhile, in Japan, a massive explosion destroyed the Aichi Prefectural Government Office. A short message was sent to the Japanese government from a organization calling itself "Destroy the Barbarians Society". They called for the explusion of the foriegn military forces, immediate end to all hostilities with all other countries, and all stop to the UFE presence in Japan as a [i]de facto[/i] shadow ruler. They would threaten that the next targets would be the foreign forces themselves....

[b]Army Command, Manila:[/b]
[i]Conference Room[/i]

"…The full report is in front of you, but allow me to summarize: the 1st Mechanized Division has put together two Advance Boarding Teams for an infiltration mission of northern Greater Korea. The teams are composed entirely of Kyokujitsu: virtually indistinguishable from Korean natives and fluent in the local language and dialects. They or their families have been living in Selenarctos since it's founding and the majority have proven themselves to be outstanding soldiers in the Ground Force, maintaining loyalty during it's transition to the People's Republican Army too. I have no doubt we can trust them to do their best.

"Both teams will launch in black hawk helicopters from within the United Federation of the East, timed with one of our air strikes to divert attention away from the ABTs. We don't have any of the stealth black hawks that intelligence suggests the UFE has been using, so our black hawks will be flying under the radar and away from population centers or observation points as much as possible.

"The teams will land near two separate locations we have identified as likely above-ground government facilities. They will not enter nor make their presence known to the occupants of the facilities, but the will locate and tap fiber lines running into the buildings. The Electronic Warfare boys assure me this can be done with minimal interrupt of the government building's service. This tap will be connected to laser LOS transmitters, carried into Greater Korea by the teams and lined up with our surveillance satellites in orbit. The two-way feed will be bounced from there through a pair of satellites to the Air Force's receiving array in the Cordillera Central, and finally to the Electronic Warfare Brigade's supercomputers where, if all goes well, they'll be breaking into Greater Korea's intranet by this time tomorrow. Any questions?"

"ABT 2, mike check."

"Roger ABT 2. Boarding teams 1 and 2, black hawks 1 and 2, you are cleared for launch"

"Thank you Delta Control, we'll be entering radio silence in sixty seconds."

"Confirmed and good luck; Air Base Delta out."


[b]Army Command, Manila:[/b]

A Lieutenant saluted as he entered the commanding's office. "Sir, you requested a status report?"

"Yes, do you have an update?"

"I do, sir. The 2O37s and F22s entered Korean airspace two minutes ago on route to their targets. The black hawks will be entering within the next two minutes, so far no abnormal response has been observed. We're following the black hawks visually via satellite and will continue to do so for as long as possible."

"Very good, as you were Lieutenant."

. . .

[i]Control Room[/i]

"We've restored visual on black hawk one, sir. They began taking fire twenty seconds ago and we monetarily lost them. Ahh, one moment please… It looks like their still airborne… The ground battery has stopped firing but there's smoke coming off our chopper…"

[pause]

"Sir, black hawk one is changing course. It looks like they're heading to the beta sight; we pre-selected it for easy defense and eventual extraction-well away from anyone and anything. They'll ditch the helicopter in a ravine near the beta sight and proceed on foot from there. They're following orders though: no radio transmissions and still flying below the radar."

"Very good, and black hawk two?"

"Black hawk two is still on course, no indication that they've been spotted."


. . .

[i]Control Room[/i]

Scattered applause erupted through the room as the Electronic Warfare Brigade officer on the other end of the conference call continued.

"...I repeat, we have confirmed a successful link with ABT 2's laser relay. We now have access to the Korean intranet and will begin working on it immediately. Our thoughts here in the Electronic Warfare Brigade go out to ABT 1 and we hope they are alright, but right now we have more work to do than we have manpower to do it. With your permission sir, I would like to return to my men."

"Of course Colonel; for now, ABT 1 appears alright. We all hope they stay that way, but it's your work that has the best chance of saving them; dismissed."

[i]Operation Army of One[/i] was going far better than anyone had truly expected. Despite the fact that the incident with the TV was well over 2 months ago, Maksim Trumpledor's intense hatred of the Koreans had not faded. In his blood lust, he had hampered the Korean war effort by blowing up 15 cows and a Korean army jeep. Seeing how serious the operation was going, it was time to kick it up a notch. BAM!

Underneath a DC-10 heading to Cochin was slung a large crate in a makeshift attachment. The plane was ordered to take a quick detour over the Zargathian-Korean border, where it released its payload. The care package was recovered by Maksim, who saw the wealth of goodies inside.

1 MG-1 light machine gun with 1000 rounds
1 MG-2 medium machine gun with 1000 rounds
1 MRPG-7 rocket propelled grenade launcher with 50 rounds
1 M1 60mm mortar with 250 HE rounds
1 MR-64 assault rifle with 1000 rounds
1 M1 submachine gun with 1000 rounds
1 MP-33 pistol with 1000 rounds
100 chocolate cupcakes with orders to only eat one when he blew something important up
1 tent
1 VHS box set of Hawaii Five-O

The crate was far too large to carry, even for someone as mild-mannered as Maksim, so it became his new base camp. A new game had begun.

SUDDENLY, 25 NUKES APPEARED*

25 missiles* streamed high over the Irish sky and up and over everybody and then landed right the hell in North Korea, where the 19.95 megaton nukes would be placed at:

Hamhung, Hungnam, Kmch'aek, Hyesan, Ch'ongjin, Najin, and Sonbong

Each city would be targeted one after the other: as soon as Hamhung would be hit in the place that would do the most damage, the next missile would be launched at Hungnam, and the cycle would repeat itself until Sonbong was hit. So if two nukes were blocked at Hamhung and the third hit, then the fourth would go at Hungnam, etc. *If all seven were hit and nukes were left over, they would not be launched.

Also launched were 50 missiles that, once over korean cities, would release radios all playing the "TROLOLOLOLO" song in repeat at maximum volume, radios designed to withstand high impact
