Barbarossa

[Razgriz 2K9]

After reading reports of a potential hotspot in Europe, PM Zakhev stated to his son, "Victor, these fools in Europe are trying to tear at each other. I shall attempt to make contact with the CSSR Preimer to back down before things get out of hand."

[Mergerberger II]

In response, the UK has increased trade with Promised Land and Bosporan, as to make up for the loss of trade and profit made by the trade embargos.

A once honorable nation, once one of our closest allies, who fought with us as brothers and bled with us, now seeks to stab us in the back, and watch as we wither and they succeed. It is truly a shame that the UK cannot a) Decide on a government, and B) decide on a government position. You flip-flop more than these burgers I've been flipping on this boat.

Uh, what do you mean by that? We've already determined our government and government position, so to say.

[Kaiser Martens]

It is interesting to notice that the calmest party in this situation is the Slavorussian Government, although they are the ones supposed to be potentially endangered by military issues if this would have not been an exercise.

[Centurius]

In response Bosporan has lifted all restrictions with the exception of the Union which have increased to ban every citizen from the Union. We hereby also confirm there has been no noticeable change in our Economy as we didn't see any reason to trade with the Union anyway.

Air Squadrons around the Warsaw military district scrambled near the border regions of Prussia. Soon, the entire system was online and ready to establish a link with all other Nordic nations in Europe for joint command sessions.

Meanwhile, the ground command--in conjunction with the airforce established DEFCON 2 conditions, with all ICBM units on top security and the militia mobilized to street level, the nation felt it's first taste of the military since the Prusso-Germanic war. It was glorious, the marching troops were met in the streets with cheering crowds of sympathizers, throwing candy and kisses toward their boys in black.

Across the desert region, tanks mobilized at possible entry points while on parade for high ranking officials.

OOC: Love the sig and avatar.

IC: in response to Bosporan's actions, Uralic Bashkortostan is now at DEFCON 4. Seeing their fellow former Estovakians acting as they did has brought some relief to their nation. They are also cancelling their lumber aid request to RUSSIAN.

Due to the shocking stance that others think that the CSSR is not allowed to exercise in the very areas it would need to deploy in when defending itself, we have ordered our security and forces to be increased in this areas. We are moving to heightened alert, aggression and interference in CSSR internal affairs will not be tolerated.

Classified

The CSSR is moved to full mobilization with most of its war factories now fully operational.

The nation's strategic forces are taken to Defcon 2.

The Nordheimer Forces seem to have been "replaced" by the new deployment, and head back home after finishing their part of the exercises.

Reichwehr High Command had ordered the military to prepare for the next step of the operation. German military units, in the Ukraine, were now being moved in the vicinity of the town of Kyiv. These troops were to take part in more joint exercises, mostly concerning with the subject of defeating cities from large enemy invasions. Aside from the one hundred thousand troops and one thousand tanks, these forces would be augmented by an additional four hundred thousand troops and one thousand tanks. This would bring the total force in the Ukraine to five hundred thousand troops, two thousand five hundred tanks, five hundred Arica I Infantry Fighting Vehicles plus scores of artillery batteries, mostly of the self propelled variety. This was the largest concetration of German military firepower on the planet, besides the Reich itself.

The Luftwaffe was also increasing its presence, establishing forward operating air bases in the Ukraine. One Lu-27 Condor Interceptor Squadron, sixteen Lu-65 Eagle Air Superiority Aircraft squadrons, fifteen Lu-67 Advanced Tactical Fighter squadrons, three MB-1 Ghost Strategic Stealth Bomber squadrons, five MLB-1 Varitas Stealth Bomber squadrons and two GLI-133 Ank'ríat bombers were sent to the Ukraine was well.

A Statement from the Office of the Kaiser's Military: (the typical music began to play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUuFcsdo1Fs )

Throughout history, the Nordic peoples and the peoples of Prussia have stood tall and proud in the world. Our military might, intellectual superiority and vast cultural possessions are unrivaled in history. It was once said by a great Hansetic philosopher that "Prussia does not have a military, Prussia IS a military". It is that perception of Prussia that I am proud to uphold. In the rebuilding process after the great Prusso-Germanic war, I ordered the state-run Volksarmee to not only establish an infrastructure base in Prussia that is better suited for war, but also one that allows for our quaint Kingdom to prosper in safety.

With a weapon in every home, 40 centimeters of concrete on every roof's foundation, training for all, infrastructural innovations to help ward off attack, and a proud military tradition (OOC: Military based on modern Swiss military tradition, information on defense infrastructure can be found here http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=367 )--it is assured that the people of Prussia will never fall, and the people of the Nordic Confederacy will never falter.

As of this moment, every Kampfgruppe in Prussia has been mobilized to eastern and northern border regions hand in hand with it's Nordic Confederacy brothers-in-arms. In addition with the near 500,000 in land forces, the local militias are walking through your town streets and residential areas, the entirety of the active Luftwaffe are paroling the skies above the Prussia and the unincorporated Baltic. Finally, the Kriegsmarine has mobilized in combat formation in the Baltic, North Sea and--to an extent--submarine patrols under the Arctic shelf.

Today is a proud day for the Nordic and Prussic peoples. Today is the day where we are nearly completed rebuilding from past scuffles and rise with our individual and collective might as brothers.

OOC: In that national anthem...I distinctly heard several bars from the British one ("God save the Queen"), which, incidentally, is also the tune to another song, an American patriotic song called "My Country 'tis of Thee."

I certainly can't fault their songwriters for their taste.

[Generalissimo]

Recent events have proved beyond doubt that the various mobilizations against Slavorussia were not “War Games” as previously alleged, but preparations for an invasion. This presents a significant gap of credibility to the Barbarossa coalition, if you’re going to do something do it, but a paper thin casus belli fools no one, and some take offense being lied to by those who claim friendship.

While lying imperialists I wouldn't go that far as to say they shouldn’t exist, but I would appreciate it if people claiming friendship didn’t lie to my face, I’m looking at you Týr.
