The Bosporus

 

Greater Romania to protect former Roman lands as Sparta falls

 

The Greater Romanian nation today has started to move into the remnants of former Byzantium, as the old realm has fallen. In an large-scale action, Romanian Navy and Marines have deployed to the Bosporus with no less than three divisions, as well as two carrier fleets, in order to stabilise the region, which is of vital importance to Black Sea maritime trade.

 

The move was prompted by the fall of Romania's longest-standing ally, Sparta, which has caused great consternation at the Royal court yesterday. Prime Minister Vlasceanu has called this "the greatest crisis since the nation's refoundation" and despite the situation in Hungary gradually improving, the Kingdom has extented mobilisation indefinitely. "The situation at the Bosporus is most important to national security. With such a high-caliber crisis, Romania is threatened in one of its most vital interests and must be prepared to act in defense of these interests."

Yugoslavia to return the Romanian Banat

 

Following an agreement between Yugoslav monarch Dragojev I Belojevic and Her Majesty Maria I de România, Yugoslavia is now returning the Romanian-inhabited portions of the Banat, which it had administered since its intervention in Romania. Romanian troops have today crossed into the area and have been greeted by an enthusiastic population lining the streets. Prime Minister Vlasceanu calls this a "great day for the Romanian nation", given that it constitutes the reunification of Greater Romania once again. "Today, and in the days to come, Romania will indeed be a nation state, made up of all Romanian lands, without leaving any Romanian populations under foreign rule."

 

It is said, the people of the Banat have however written also a letter to the Kralj in Belgrade, to thank their Serb neighbour for his good governance of the region.

Dealul Spirii and the Mihai Vodă Monastery in 1837

 

Capital Reconstruction Plan goes ahead at full speed

 

For over a year now, the government has worked on a plan to raze multiple structures in the capital and to restructure Bucharest. On the orders of Queen Maria, hundreds of hectars of real estate which had been filled with communist era constructions are to be razed and replaced with new buildings, especially in the inner town. Her Majesty has stated that old historically valuable constructions, which had survived the communist era, would be unharmed, however constructions, which are clearly signs of the red chapter of Romania's history, are planned to be utterly razed. Most notably Dealul Spirii, the central hill of Bucharest is to be cleared once more, meaning the destruction of the Palace of the Parliament. Instead, the royal administration wants to restore Bucharest to a pre-Communist state of "untainted beauty and refined gem of national art". The Mihai Vodă Monastery, moved by the communist regime, will be moved once again to the central hill. additionally, it is planned that high-class estates and a minor palace be constructed in the centre of Bucharest.

 

Large tracts along Bulevardul Uniiri, but also among the untouched by communists Șoseaua Kiseleff are to be reevaluated, systematically torn down and filled with new buildings. Her Majesty also has announced that no less than twelve new churches and monasteries are to be constructed, to strengthen the one true faith in Romania and to pray for forgiveness for all the crimes committed against the faithful in the communist era. Preferred styles of architecture will be historicist baroque and Second Empire, but also, Neo-Byzantine structures, which the Queen views as adequate representation of Romania's administration of Constantinopol.

 

People in the capital have shown some consternation on the program, and coined the phrase Mari'an, a neologism analoguous to Ceaușima and combining the name of Her Majesty with the utter destruction that was recently brought upon the Chinese capital of Xi'an.

TACAM-125

 

125 mm Self-propelled anti-tank gun

 

The TACAM(Tun Anticar pe Afet Mobil)-125 is Romania's newest tank-destroyer and assault gun. It combines good mobility of a light tracked chassis similar to the MLI-14 with the firepower of a main battle tank. The TACAM-125 weighs solely 18 tons, making it air-transportable with ease and giving it better cross-country abilities in terrain that does not support main battle tanks. The TACAM-125's 125 mm gun is the same as can be found on the TR-14 MBT and, just like the TR-14, the TACAM-125 is fully able to fire the whole range of 125 mm tank gun ammunition, including ATGMs, making it a threat not only to IFVs and APCs, but also to actual main battle tanks.

 

The TACAM-125 will be introduced in a limited quantity of 280 for now and be mostly assigned to units requiring good firepower, but where tanks are either unsuitable or a clear overmatch.

Mărăști-class destroyer

 

The Mărăști-class is a new class of destroyers, constructed to add to the offensive fire-power of the Romanian fleet. With around 7,500 tons displacement, is one of the more sizeable combattants of the fleet with decent ocean-going qualities and endurance. The destroyer carries no less than 64 Fulger-II missiles, as is used by the Block II Amiral Petre Bărbuneanu-class corvettes already, giving it decent anti-air capabilities at up to 70 km range, as well as 16 Furtună supersonic cruise missiles, for use against ships and land targets, both systems stored in VLS. Additionally, the ship posesses one 76 mm multi-purpose gun and 4 AK-630 CIWS. For ASW, the class is outfitted both with 533 mm torpedo tubes, as well as anti-submarine rocket launchers. Compared to the Regele Ferdinand-class frigate, the Mărăști-class destroyers are less capable in anti-air role, but they perform quite well as all-round ships.

 

Still, the Romanian Navy has build solely four of them, named Mărăști, Mărășești, Vaslui and Călugăreni.

Ukraine in dissarray - Bloc provides security!

 

Today, Romanian soldiers moved across the Dniester into Ukraine en masse, as the Ukrainian state seems to have fallen apart. Her Majesty has called the matter a great tragedy, which has befallen the people of Ukraine and Eastern Europe. However, together with the rest of the Eastern Bloc, the order in Ukraine shall be properly restored. For now, Romanian soldiers have started to secure Southern and Eastern Ukraine, in order to establish a protectorate over the region, a task assisted by similar efforts by other members of the bloc.

TR-16 Main Battle Tank

 

In order to improve the strength of the Romanian Army, given the perceived need for reform on part of the Ministry of War, the Romanian Ground Forces have started procurement of the new TR-16 MBT, a variant of the TR-14. It employs most of the systems of the TR-14 still, allowing a high degree of interchangable logistics, however, several important changes have been made, in order to improve the combat value of the vehicle. Most importantly, the main armament of the TR-16 has been changed from the predecessor's 125 mm gun to a 120 mm gun, capable of firing more advanced high velocity APFSDS shells, as well as the Nistru ATGM. Additionally, improvements have been made to electronics, ventilation and communications equipment.

 

The TR-16 will not replace the TR-14 in service, due to cost concerns. Older TR-85s howver will be gradually replaced by the new tank, in order to improve the strength of the proud Romanian Army.

 

Naval developments

 

The destroyer flotilla, together with the carrier Rândunica has been deployed to Odesa. The port city, for now, is to be used as a naval base for the Royal Romanian Navy, which uses now the ports of Constantinopolis, Constanța, Cetatea Albă, Odesa and Sevastopol as home ports for the fleet. Plans for additional ships have been scrapped. The Admiralty, despite insisting on the addition of more Mărăști-class strike cruisers and carriers has been denied a stocking up of its budget. While the admiralty is rather disappointed, stating a lack of anti-surface attack capabilities, the Ministry of War has refuted such claims, pointing at the large number of Ardeal-class battleships, of which the last ship, Banat, has been successfully launched three months ago. Much of the finances are to go into developments in army and airforce, branches, which Romania sees as far more important for its national security.

 

Troop deployments

 

With the shifting of forces from Crimea to Romania, these troops will be redeployed to the Marmara region. Forces arrayed against Alvonia had been deemed strong enough to defeat the Wehrmacht in concert with the Coalition and with the large Ukrainian Hetmanate as a buffer to Russia, the Yugoslavs rather calm and solely the South to worry about (despite attempts of detente with Zapadnaya), the Bosporus would be strengthened, to a 7 motorised infantry divisions, 6 mechanised infantry divisions, 4 marine infantry divisions and 4 armoured divisions, organised as the III. Romanian Army.

With an extension of 30 days having been granted to the Romanian forces in Western Hungary, Constante sat in her office and just raised her eyebrows in silence for a moment, before passing to the general staff a note to just dig in and prepare the II. Romanian army to be deployed in the theatre for the long term. While action against alvonia became highly unlikely, thanks to how events had played out, the continued presence of 22 divisions in Western Hungary would serve now a different purpose. Camping in the fields, half dug in and quite sizeable in numbers, it would be a pain to supply them, but it was worth it. Of the plans to pretty much indefinitely station an army in Hungary, Budapest would hear about as much as Bucharest had heard about Magyar demobilisation. They could figure out on their own, as it was happening. Of course, Constante prepared the next request for an extension still, dated 49 days from now and signed it, so it merely needed to be sent, the day prior to expiration.

We are unsure why our demobilization confuses Romania. It was agreed that once Alvonia has demobilized and withdrawn for the border, the Eastern Bloc would withdraw as well. Hungary-Slovakia has kept its promise and has withdrawn.

[Evangeline Anovilis]

Private to Hungary-Slovakia

 

"Last we heard about the matter, there were still discussions about what demands to stick with. To say there was an agreement as to what would happen if a set of demands would be met is not necessarily the truth. Romania's ultimatum has not been generally met and Hungary-Slovakia has demobilised at the slightest sign of demobilisation, with no way to be sure that demobilisation actually occurred. We do find this quite unsettling, however, Hungary-Slovakia can rest assured that Romania's valiant troops will always be ready to defend our Magyar allies from Alvonia, as we are standing ready to stop any incursion of theirs dead in its tracks."

The II. Romanian Army is recalled to the Ardeal and to be demobilised, on the order of M.S. Maria I de România. Similarly, Romanian bomber and fighter units are assuming peacetime readiness again. The Romanian fleet in the Adriatic will return to Constantinopol.

Bloc Protectorate established as Hetmanate falls

 

Last night, units of the I. Romanian Army have crossed the border into Ukraine, in order to reestablish the protectorate of the Eastern Bloc over the region. Prime Minister Vlasceanu stated that this was a sad, but necessary step, given the crumbling influence of the Hetmanate over its own territory. Indeed, it seems as if the central government in Kiev has completely lost the grip on the country, which has started to disintegrate ever more. While Vlasceanu sees this as a sad, but necessary step, he reassured that the establishment of a protectorate will not mean the integration of Ukraine into Romania, but a stewardship, until a native regime can take over reigns again in an orderly manner.

 

Armata Română

 

The I. Romanian Army is deployed into Ukraine, following the fall of yet another Ruthenian regime. While the deployment of an entire field army is seen as necessary to deter Russian opprtunism, the majority would stay west of the Dniepr, with only small detachments patrolling the border with Russia, in a sign of non-hostile intentions.

 

Military Modernisation

 

After the approval of licensed production by the Yugoslavs, Romanian defence industries (most notably ROMARM, Aerostar and Roman) started work on producing greater quantities of the Sora 122 mm self-propelled howitzer and the ALAS surface-to-surface missile. These, together with the initial procurement from yugoslav production, would be used to equip more modern parts of the army.

 

Yugoslav original ALAS

 

Advanced Light Attack System (ALAS)

 

The ALAS missile system is an inexpensive short range surface-to-surface missile developed by Yugoslavia and license-built by Aerostar. It has a range of 25 km (ALAS-A) or 60 km (ALAS-B) and is useful for targetting high value tactical and strategic targets. The ALAS uses optical guidance, with optical fibre connection to the launch platform and is thus receive targetting data still after launch. The missile is powered by a rocket booster for initial launch and a turbojet for cruise. Due to the small size and method of guidance, the ALAS has a very low signature. The missile requires little maintainance and is deployed with infantry units, in Romanian fortifications and mounted on the back of a truck (produced by Roman) in batteries of 4-6 missiles. The missile is license-produced by Aerostar.

 

 

122 mm Self-propelled howitzer SORA

 

The SORA self-propelled howitzer is most of all a D-30J howitzer on a mobile platform. While simple, the system combines good mobility with decent firepower. Though comparable and in some aspects superior to the Model 89 self-propelled 122 mm howitzer already in service, the new system is not intented to replace the Model 89, but to serve as a more mobile alternative to towed 122 mm guns in modernised units, allowing greater flexibility and mobility, compared to existing old 122 mm howitzers. Only if deemed advantagous, the SORA 122 mm self-propelled howitzer will replace the Model 89 on occassions, due to the improved fire controls, guidance options and shoot-and-scoot abilities of the new system, which has a 6-round autoloader that can be fired in under a minute. Due to this high level of automatisation, the system also cuts down on the need for gun crew, from the 8 of a towed gun and 4 of the Model 89, to a sole 2 for the 122 mm SORA SPG.

The I. Romanian Army is deployed from Kiev to the Ardeal and Banat regions. As units of Belarus assist now in keeping order in Ukraine, it is deemed that a basic garrison will be sufficient to uphold the peace and stability. Meanwhile, rising instability in the west is a great concern, as are insurgents in the Ardeal. The mobilisation of the II. Romanian Army is to be prepared, though not yet enacted. It should however be an option, in case hostilities break out.

With the fall of the Hetmanate, the Royal Romanian air Force retook strategic bomber bases in Ukraine, which would be again used by Romania, with Romanian aircraft. In general, a plan would be drawn up to utilise Ukrainian capacities for the military, both by utilising bases, as well as by taking over factories for equipment, most of all ammunitions.

Language and Script laws revised

 

On the initiative of the Regency and influential Romanian landholders, the regulations for languages and scripts have been revised. Formerly, language and script were regulated somewhat independently from demographics, with priviledges depending on the ethnic group one belonged to. Since the revision, laws regulate clearly certain quotas, which have to be met on a county-level, in order to get minority rights. According to the new laws, at least 50% of all people in a county need to speak a foreign language as first language, in order for it to be accepted as official administrative language in the county. For scripts, the hurdly has been set at 75%. Excempted from this regulation is the Constantinopol Governate, which has its own policies.

 

The new laws have been hailed as a policy of unifying minority policies for a more just rule and for greater national unity. Minorities are however not entitled to special language education in their mother language in public schools and will have to organise their own language education outside the normal curricullum, as schools teach solely Romanian as standard language, English, French and German as second and third languages.

 

In effect, this has led to the recognition of Magyar language in Harghita and Covasna, as well as of the Cyrillic script in Ismail. Some say this is a great concession to the large minorities living in the nation. Ethnic groups that cannot reach this level are no longer afforded any unreasonable special status and will be treated like all other Romanians in Greater Romania.

[Mogar]

"I am pleased to see a European nation respect the minorities within their nation so highly. East Asia is hopeful other European nations will take note of the proper way to treat other cultures and languages when attempting to bring them into the fold of a nation."

A revised deployment plan has been made, given that 6 Mountain Infantry Divisions had not been assigned to any command. While most units have been assigned to various commands, most will replace other divisions, with a net shift of divisions to Ukraine, in order to strengthen the weak force stationed in the protectorate.

Artillery units of Mechanised Infantry Divisions are from now on to be equipped with ATROM self-propelled howitzers, instead of towed artillery. The ATROM, which already is in use with the Armoured Divisions, provides a modern high-mobility platform with great firepower, ideal for the typical mission profile of mechanised forces. Guns freed up through this change will be assigned to Motorised Rifle Divisions, which will see their artillery regiments reinforced to a typical 48 gun strength, organised in 6 batteries à 8 artillery pieces. Typically, a ratio of 4:2 or 3:3 is kept between M81/M85 152 mm howitzers to M82 130 mm field guns.

 

Additionally, anti-tank regiments from now on employ not just the two batteries of 8 modernised M77 100 mm anti-tank guns, but also a defined 16-24 9M123 and 9M133 anti-tank missiles. The guns themselves will be equipped to fire 9M117 100 mm anti-tank guided missiles, additionally to APFSDS, HEAT and HE-Frag ammunition. For Mechanised and Armoured Divisions, these units are replaced by 40 TACAM-125s. These special units will be termed Tank Destroyer Bataillon (Batalionul TACAM).

 

Mobilisation

 

On the request of Minister Constante, Minister of War Golescu has mobilised the II. Romanian Army again. The now 24 divisions strong Field Army is moved to the Ardeal, in order to stand ready for further orders. The I. Romanian Army, already in the Ardeal is made ready to act in concert with the II. Romanian Army.

A typed note from the Enlightened Council, delivered directly from Sol's Embassy in Bucharest, would arrive at the Romanian Foreign Ministry in a simple unsealed envelope. The contents were not spectacular, but they would be a step towards what Sol hoped to be a source of construction materials that the country desperately needed at this point in its growth. The Grand Orders' own foundries were far from sufficient at this point, and with the country still in development, it would take time for other mills to come online and begin production.

 

"News from our diplomatic emissary in Bucharest has indicated that Romania is stepping up its production of high quality structural steel, particularly in the recently acquired Trisnistria region.

 

With Sol hungry for large amounts of such materials of late, we would request a meeting with Romanian officials, at their earliest convenience, to discuss a mutually beneficial trade pact."

Britain falls - Constante declares a protectorate over Malta!

 

Today, a fleet centered around battleships Moldavia and Dobrogea has anchored off Malta, transporting Romanian soldiers and goods to the island. In the wake of Britain's fall, the island has been declared a protectorate by Mihaela Constante, who is extremely saddened by the course of events, but declares such action necessary for the good of the nation and the Maltese people. The Conducătora hopes that the fall of Britain does not cause much of a cascade in European security.

In an effort of transparency and responsibility, the Greater Romanian nation hereby publishes its policy regarding the usage of nuclear weaponry. Nuclear weapons, which Romania posesses in not too small a quantity will not be used in any offensive fashion against any other nation. The nuclear arsenal of Romania is its last line of defense and shall not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. These extreme cases, for which Romania reserves for itself the right to use nuclear armaments are the first usage od weapons of mass destruction by another nation against our state, as well as any overwhelming conventional intrusion into Romania, that threatens the survival of the Greater Romanian nation state.

Malta would not see any Romanisation programs, unlike many other acquisitions of Romania, as the island was most of little demographic, economic and national importance and mostly had importance only due to its strategic location. The Romanian admiralty hoped to not only use the island as a naval base outside the Black Sea and Dardanelles, but also, the island allowed monitoring traffic passing between Eastern and Western Mediterranean, which could be practical later. While Romania had a policy of keeping not too great of a presence in the Mediterranean, rather relying on allies to uphold security and peace in these waters, Malta was somewhat of a change, in this regard, as a contingency.

To the Enlightened Council,

 

The Greater Romanian nation has indeed set for itself the objective to increase drastically the output of quality steel of our national industry. While this has happened most of all due to considerations for the domestic industry, the export of steel is nothing we cannot see happening and we do invite you to send an envoy to Bucharest as soon as is convenient for you, to discuss prospective trade agreements. We are honoured to have caught your attention and we hope that a mutually benefitial agreement can be reached.
