We can not help them we need these attacks to win the war so if it costs a few hundred life's for freedom then let it be and also let it be known we do not have enough infrastructure to help them heal fully so that is why we are asking for help.

King Simon would like to point out that the civilian casualties are more in the thousands, not hundreds. He would also like to point out that the citizens would not need to heal if the Floridan Air Force did not bomb their own city. The do not have the infrastructure needed to help their citizens because, as stated ealier, they bombed their own city.

King simon says that his government does not recognize your nation, so what permission is there to be given? A Corvette carrying medical supplies, food, and water has been dispatched to Florida. It should reach the Floridan coast within a couple of days to carry out emergency medical and food supplies for war victims.

"Gallifrey will dispatch its best medical teams to Brooks County and offers $12,000,000 in aid 20 ambulances and 100 sonic screwdrivers which clean wounds and can contribute to the removing of fragments (http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=107869). Gallifrey will be sending these doctors and ambulances no security and hopes Brooks County can supply that. The sonic screwdrivers are not given to the public so please keep a count on those." The Doctor wished he could help more directly as he has medical training of his own.

"We will keep tabs on these sonic screwdrivers as they can seemingly be used as lockpicks, and thus are a criminal tool. Once this fiasco is dealt with all remaining aid will be returned to Gallifrey. We thank you for your service."


CLASSIFIED:

100 freshly trained soldiers, armed with simple single shot rifles, are traveling to Brooks county using public transit to retain order.

"This aid is for the common good and it is not nessisary to return it. As for the screwdrivers, thank you."

It was just a day and already bombs? Dalian shook her head in astonishment over human stupidity. "We should just go, sell them a few gramm Sarine and tell them it is skin lotion to survive bomb splitters. Would not ruin my breakfast as much."

King Simon does not want to accept the money on three counts. First, if they can give foreign nations money, why can't they buy medical supplies for thier own citizens? The money would be of a greater use there. Second, this money is being offered to us because we offered help to people bombed by their own government. Third, the money would be worthless as soon as the Floridan government is overthrown by the foreign military.

"Insulting Najambia due to your personal incompetency to communicate as a civilized nation is a foolish act that will not go unanswered. If there are no other leaders able to stand up and if this is the best they have then leave it alone. Its up to the people of Florida to decide whether or not they want the regime in power or if they don't. If they did not the people of Florida would fight for it. I do not see any Florida civilian fighting or even asking for assistance. Florida wants to be governed by these people and if they did not then we will hear their voices, not Pravus Inguro who now has nothing to do with the Region of Florida due to his giving up on the people there. There have been no formally made pledges to protect those people and who is to say Pravus Inguro can speak for Florida when they've given up on their own people there any ways. Florida if this speech is publically known there, stand up and fight. Fight against the one who's betrayed you, left you out to dry, and put a knife in your back only to take your right for leadership away when a new government has began to govern you. If anything the people of Florida have suffered enough from the Tyrant Pravus Ingruo government who only wish those people harm. It is clearly not humane treatment of those Civilians to keep them under and Iron Boot and leaderless only due to the fact that you obviously only want to hurt the people of the Floridan Region."
[/quote]

"Communicate as a civilized nation? Heh- perhaps if you knew my record better you would know I have a long history of formal, polite and more importantly verbose discourse with other nations. However, such treatment is given, not freely, but as payment due for respectable characteristics of the target nation. Characteristics such as responsible governance, military prowess and diplomatic grace. Unfortunately this independent nation of Florida posses none of these characteristics and more. Their fumbled diplomatic first contact failed them in navigating the test of the EPI- thus turning their subject's communities into a warzone between competing foreign armies. Their handling of the war has been ridiculous, in that rather than targeting strongholds of the enemy, they have reigned fire down upon one of their own cities. Now they've demonstrated a total lack of responsibility, in that rather than fulfilling their duties to their own people, they have opened their boarders to anyone and everyone, regardless of competency or purpose in the hope that some of them might be doctors. Not to mention they basically posted a classified ad for 'King' and accepted not just a total walk in off the street, but a foreigner who knows absolutely nothing about the people he seeks to govern. How misguided are you that you cannot see this? Your words do not support the people of Florida, they lend morale support to the bane of their present existence."

"That said, you offer up that no alternative government existed for the people of Florida, that something is better than nothing, but I contend this sort of excuse is really nothing more than propaganda, so lets find the truth of the matter. Prior to this pretender King entering the stage, Florida, contrary to this narrative, was self administered by the remnants of the EPI government - a legislature and local governor. Services, such as police and public utilities were provided to them by this interim government; it was not 'anarchy' as leaders so often like to portray it, but an ordered self guided region. Now the moment the outlanders arrived in Florida the first test for leadership should have been whether or not they could out perform the region's existing administration. As a minimum baseline their suitability could have easily been judged by their knowledge of the region and their connection to the people: which is to say they possessed neither. Another minimum baseline would have been that the previous administration at least held the territory in a stable peace, so whether or not this new king could maintain this would have been an important metric as well. Of course we all know, after one day in office, he has not just provoked a war with the EPI but he has slaughtered his own people and destroyed their property. That said I think it is safe to say that the previous administration, out performed this present one, and so an expedited return to it would be ideal regardless of whether or not the people of Florida actually have an opinion." - Michael Atrevier, Councilor Superior of Avalon

OOC: Who would be willing to sell weapons to a nation that uses them to kill their own soldiers? Who would sell weapons to a government and a nation that they do noy recognize? Why would I sell you weapons when you asked me for my help in the war against SMH yesterday? Is it really that hard to figure out ishabad? You should have left when you had the chance. You want weapons, but you are not even fighting anymore.

The Admiral Kolchak and the Amber Empress broke away from their convoy in the North Atlantic Ocean and speeded south toward Florida. Their mission was simple, monitor the war in America and withdraw the Slavorussian diplomatic envoys in the effected areas. They planned to link up with transport ships near Bermuda to escort them through Floridian waters to rescue Slavorussian nationals in the warzone.

The UFE Amphibious Transportable Dock [i]Saigon[/i] has been dispatched from the UFE MOB currently stationed off South America towards the situation. Onboard was a half compliment, roughly 500 marines along with facilities for refugees and helicopters. Additionally was a platoon of expeditionary fighting vehicles. Escorting it would be a overhead flight of 1 Tu-160 Rudolph and 3 B-11s equipped in both air to air and air to ground mixed strike configuration.

[size="5"][b][font="Impact"]Statement from Najambia : Order to Cease Hostilities[/font][/b][/size][/center]

The Namibian Supreme Leader asks that all conflict end Immediately. When the state of Florida was freed, there was no pledge of "Protection", even if there was, then the state is free to be governed by whoever wishes to. The people there are not and were not harmed, but you are harming them now by bombing your former "Brothers and Sisters". The Conflict needs to end immediately. If you did not wish for anyone to settle on this land then you need to take it back to yourself or set a formal protectorate agreement over it. The peaceful government there relinquished claims over D.C. per your demands. You demanded that the government there had been one that the people chose. They complied and set up a voting booth. Then you ask them to leave. Your foolish demands are one of pitty. You are an aggressive and imperialist dictator who only wishes harm upon your former people.

If you wish to continue to slaughter innocent people such as these, then take it out on someone else. We offered to even help these people and we will help them stand up and form a government that their own people have chosen. You give them demands, and they complied then you continue to threaten them and abuse them. If you truly wanted the best for these people you would stand down and help them if anything. It would be understood if Diplomacy failed, but you did not even try.

The government of Pravus Ingruo asks that the Namibian Supreme Leader actually acquaint themselves with the reasons for this conflict before weighing in. First, the state of Florida was not "freed", just as none of the other states were "freed". The state governors and legislatures were each given a choice: they could remain with the Empire after the coup, or they could embark on a path of self-governance until such time that a new government arose from within the state, or states. Every state except New York chose the path of self-governance. However, when the announcement was made, Potentate Harland clearly stated that the former states of the Empire would be protected from outside threats, aggression, and attempts to take them over. These former people of Khalistan clearly represent such an outside threat. Further, they attempted to misrepresent themselves as former governors and ambassadors of Pravus Ingruo, something they clearly are not. The government is not one that the people chose, and it never has been. They are self-appointed foreign rulers. The people of Florida never had any say in the appointment of such a "King".

Finally, we have not bombed our brothers and sisters. In fact, we have not fired a single shot in or around a single civilian center. The foreigners who claim to want to lead these people, who claim they want what is best for them, have bombed Miami, causing, at minimum, thousands of civilian casualties. Why bomb a civilian center? It makes no sense, much like your comments.

In your nation? No, it is not your nation. It is the nation of the people of Florida. You are a foreign leader, and it will never be your nation.

[quote]Out of all the planes in the 2nd divison 50 planes were damaged. What remains is 25 fighter and 25 bombers. 20 bombers will.go and assist in Orlando while 5 bombers and the fighters will stay in Miami. The residents have two hours to leave. Do not forget we are also sending the 3rd division to Orlando which has the same organization as the 2nd divison.we have also send 170 tanks Orlando while 30 will go and assist in Miami[/quote]

"Fort Central Commend, this is Havoc Leader, do you copy? Over."

"Havoc Leader this is Fort Central Command, go for copy, over."

"Central, we are reading twenty bombers breaking off and heading north. Assume they are heading for Orlando. Recommend scrambling Talon and Karma squads for protection."

"Roger that, Havoc Lead. How's the skies down south?"

"Busy, Central. But we're doing alright." Alright was kind of an understatement. Inexplicably, foreign forces had not launched a counter attack against Havoc and Blackout squadrons. The 24 F-22s that had been stationed at Miami were still flying, now against greatly reduced numbers of foreign fighters. The 20 bombers heading north were let go, but the five bombers and 25 fighters remaining in the Miami region were now the main focus.

"Havoc Leader to [i]INS Empire[/i], E.T.A. on those fighters?"

"Havoc Lead, this is [i]Empire[/i], should be in your vicinity within three minutes. Target would be appreciated."

"We'll be sure to leave a few, [i]Empire[/i]. Havoc Lead out." Havoc Leader pulled up behind another bomber, firing off a missile before peeling away. "Havoc Squad, Blackout Squad, mark targets for incoming planes from the 1st Fleet. Let's clear the sky." Targets were marked and transmitted to the incoming help. OTH missiles were fired from the F/A-18 Super Hornets, at the remaining 30 foreign planes, while the F-22s launched missiles as well. All told, two missiles were launched for every surviving plane. The results should be devastating.

"Havoc Lead, this is Central."

"Go ahead, Central."

"We're reading 100 planes heading your way, 50 fighters, 50 bombers. Recommend preparing yourselves, over."

"Roger that, Central. We'll be good to go." Havoc Lead swung around in pursuit of any planes that had survived the missile barrage. With the reinforcements coming from the fleet, their numbers would swell to 144 Imperial air assets. Still, Havoc Lead wanted some more help for Orlando.

"Guantanamo Naval Station, this is Havoc Lead in Miami, do you copy?"

"Read you loud and clear, Havoc. Nice work up there."

"Thanks Gitmo. Can you scramble Rogue and Switchblade squadrons for some help in Orlando? I know Talon can handle themselves, but I want to make sure we don't see another massacre."

"No worries, Havoc. They'll be in the air in five." Havoc Lead looked back out his cockpit and saw the first wave of Super Hornets arriving from the 1st Fleet. Things were starting to turn. The fighters turned themselves north and prepared to fire on the incoming fighters and bombers the moment they could.

======================================================================

The dust and smoke was still thick in Miami. Private First Class Marty Whelen stood and brushed himself off as he pulled his canteen out of his rucksack, taking a swig before pouring some over his eyes. The bombing had come almost without warning, and the indiscriminate way it was carried out still shook the young Private.

"Hey Whelen, let's go man, Sarge says we got some trapped civilians about a block north of here." Whelen nodded and pulled his ruck back on, falling out with his squad. Fires still burned in the streets, half destroyed buildings still stood, if barely, and smoke choked the air. Miami Police cars had their lights flashing and spotlights on, trying to light the way. Fire crews worked frantically to put out as many fires as they could. If there was a hell, today it was in paradise.

When the got to the half-collapsed apartment building, another truck was already outside. Emblazoned on the side was a large "4". It was a local news van, and from what Whelen could tell, a satellite truck. The reporter and camera man both came out as the troops approached.

"Jack Harris, Channel 4 news. Can we tag along inside?" Whelen turned to his Sergeant.

"That a satellite truck, son?" The normally gruff Sergeant looked at the reporter.

"Yessir."

"Then link up and get this broadcast set to head out to the world. We'll be going live. Catch up with us once you're up." The Harris nodded and the troops moved up. They went apartment to apartment, knocking on doors and entering, helping people where they could, letting them know where evacuation centers were located. Planes were still flying out of Miami International, and military transports would be heading out of the base soon. Ground forces were broadcasting these in the street, bu troops were tasked with letting people know as well.

The soldiers were just about to move in to another room when the TV crew showed up again. As they entered, they saw a man who was trapped under what had been his ceiling. Running up, the troops immediately began administering first aid to the man and tried to clear the rubble. As they moved around him and the TV crew came in, the man began to stir.

"My wife... my daughter..."

"There's other people here! Fan out and search the apartment!" The troops moved out to search but could not find any evidence of either person. They could only assume they had been crushed under the collapsing ceiling as well. They came back over to help, but it was clear the man was already on his way out.

"Why... why did they bomb us? Why are they here?" The man choked out the words as he looked at the Sergeant and the reporter. "Peace... peace was here before they came. Why bomb us... why..." The man's eyes closed and he passed away. The reporter nodded to his cameraman, who continued to film the apartment and the destruction.

==============================================================

There were a number of cruise ships docked at Melborne and Miami. Each cruise ship would be loaded to the max with people who wanted to escape before heading south for Cuba. Foreign dignitaries and civilians were told of this, and asked to get to the ships as soon as possible.

==============================================================

At Fort Central, Predator drones were launched and began circling over the city. Intelligence agents were working frantically to trace the transmissions by the "government". Should the source of those transmissions be found, a Predator drone strike would commence, in the hopes of cutting off the head of the "regime" once and for all. When it was heard that Orlando would be bombed in two hours, troops were ordered to direct citizens to Fort Central if they could make it. If not, they were ordered to take shelter in basements or structurally reinforced buildings.

As the 170 tanks moved into Orlando, they were met by missiles from Predator drones and large groupings of tanks were marked with lasers. Those laser-marked tanks would be transmitted to the 1st Fleet, who would fire cruise missiles at those tanks.

==============================================================

[b]Imperial Statement[/b]

The foreign government has shown complete and utter disregard for human life in Miami, where thousands of innocent civilians have been killed. Now, they threaten to bomb Orlando in two hours. This blatant use of terrorism to stop our liberation campaign will not succeed. We will emerge victorious, and will do everything in our power to stop this bombing before it happens. Imperial fighters will do their absolute best to crush these pretenders.

Further, all civilians and foreign dignitaries who wish to flee can do so at Melborne and Miami. There are more than a dozen cruise ships at each port waiting to transport citizens to Cuba. We will do all we can to assist. Medical teams are currently being flown into Fort Central and Miami to help.

Signed,
Jacob Harland
Potentate

Upon seeing the statements made the the Independant State of Florida's "king," President Kline began laughing at the government. That they really thought they ruled the citizens of Florida was laughable. He then issued the following statement:
"The Confederacy of Democratic Indian States finds it laughable that The Independant State of Florida considers the people living there "their" citizens. Waltzing in from a failed nation and having your council of ministers proclaim you king deos not mean you can rule these people and that they are your subjects. When you're running from your shores to find a new place to hole up in, don't even think about coming back to Asia. You are a disgrace to Asia and the rest of the world. Consider any diplomatic communication between our nation cut."
