"This is not Imperialism. This is about stopping a nation. I don't really care much for owning any actual Slavorussian territory. Call us aggressive if you will, but Imperialist does not match, we've got enough land as is."

"Stopping a nation? From doing what? From granting their citizens the right of free speech, universal healthcare, full education and other such things? Nothing you have said in your declaration of war is even remotely close to the truth. Slavorussia does not oppress its people.

Regardless of that, see if you can tame the bear that you have awoken."

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

AZERBAIJANI REPUBLIC

Incompetence, thats the word of the day. Not too long ago we said Germany would cause more troubles if given the chance to reform, nobody listened to us, as usual, and another war is ravaging the continent. We are disappointed to see so many spineless nations' armies being moved under Martens' command, thats just the proof how europeans are incompetent generals and national leaders.

The International Community is responsible for this, but we will not pay for your mistakes. Our armed forces are mobilized and ready to defend our borders, our airforce will defend our sky, our navy will defend our shore. Shame on Europe, shame on the countries attacking Slavorussia, claiming to "free the slavorussian people" while they aren't even able to administrate their own territories, contaminated by radiations. Slavorussia will once again prove its strenght and unity, the RUSSIAN alliance will push back the invaders, and Europe will face annihilation, humilation infront of the rest of the International Community.

The Azerbaijani Republic will send Humanitarian aid in Slavorussia, to assist the civilian population hit by the war, and inhumane practice of European soldiers. Our wishes go to Slavorussia and Justinian.

Nikita was sitting in her Office organizing standard paperwork when the Secretary of Defense entered, very shocked even more than normal.

"Secretary what is it?"Nikita asked after which the Secretary showed her an Intelligence report, while readin through it she felt a strange feeling and her face would become grim.

"Is this real?"she asked not willing to believe it when the Secretary nodded she threw the file at the door in rage.

"We are already mobilized I want Genesis in War Mode rather than Exercise Mode get the Navy to set a Combat course to the former Republik Balkan but let it stay in Byzantine waters, put all WMDs to Stand-by Germany tends to go First Strike and get me time on all channels."she ordered while leaving the room towards the Press Department.

She looked around the warflag behind her rather than the normal one. This would be one address no one would forget in Bosporan for a while.

"Miss President you're on the air in 5"the man behind the camera said counting down with his fingers.

"Dear citizens,

We are still dealing with the effects of the former European Wars, where the same entities used their eternal greed for land to motivate a war of destruction. Now the Nords have again filled European soil with blood. We have watched and watched, the current situation while expected was shocking. Provided even a fraction of the propaganda used by the Invaders was true which we do not believe none justify an Invasion where Diplomacy should have won.

We have watched too long. Our Brothers have requested our help, we will honor our Blood Pact with fellow Russians this will be the last time an armed Nord sets foot on Russian soil. As such the Federal Republic considers itself in a Defensive State of War with all parties attacking Slavorussia standard measures will be taken with Embassies when present being closed foreign citizens expelled and own citizens taken back. In addition we warn especially Germany that use of First Strike WMDs will be responded with twice the payload as aforementioned nation tends to attack with Nukes in a First Strike basis.

We will not surrender to the Lunatic Imperialists in Europe. We will be victorious"

A silence entered the room as the people looked down it was true Bosporan was in a war where victory would be unlikely but they would fight to the bitter end.

---

The message had rocked every base from the West to the East and even in territory not in Bosporan with the leased base going to War procedures. Over 100,000 Soldiers and 20,000 Marines marched over the Slavorussian/Bosporan Border and the Navy prepared a Coastal blockade it would prove RUSSIAN was a though nut to crack. The Soldiers still in Bosporan were moved to Defensive positions to protect the homeland against any kind of retaliatory attack. The Government Network now sealed off from any non-Governmental computer would go off-line for aforementioned systems a reasonable sacrifice for safety of Communication Systems. The Air Force would operate less calm with 15 Squadrons(10 F-35 and 5 B-2) flying to Slavorussian bases and an additional 4 F-35 to the Naval Base in the UK. It was now waiting for the Orders of Slavorussia.

The UK is shocked by the sudden and unexpected attack on the Slovorussian Empire by the Nordlandic Confederacy. So, they had lied to us after all about their so-called 'military exercises'...we knew it. What did Slavorussia do to deserve this...unwarranted acts of aggression?

From this moment on, the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits has been declared closed to any aggressor nations as the UK reiterates its strict neutrality in this conflict, that is, until our allies get attacked. UK airspace and waters will be declared off-limits to any aggressor nations, and any attempt to intrude upon that WILL be dealt with (military ships and aircrafts will be sunk/shot down without warning). Furthermore, the Navy and Air Force were placed on high alert; the Navy began patrolling UK waters (most particularly the Black Sea) as to enforce UK neutrality. The Army were also placed on high alert as the UK was placed on DEFCON 3.

Lastly, we will take a position similiar to Tahoe's: we will assist in humanitarian operations, should it be requested.

[Cataduanes]

The Philippines denounces this agressive action by the Nordlandic Confederacy, this is yet again another example of Europe's inability to avoid the mistakes of the past. In conjunction with our regional allies, Neo Japan, we will be sending humanitarian supplies and require permission from combatants on a designated airfield were our C-130 transports may land if such civilian aid is needed.

Just as the nuclear winter from the last war is subsiding, the Germans and their allies go at it again in another unjustified war of stopping a nation that does not need to be stopped. Until this cycle of destruction is broken, Europe can never have peace.

My comrades, we will not be destroyed again by these maniacal beats. I do not know about these nations, but I for one want Alvonia to stay in Europe! We shall take a neutral stance in this, but if they decide they would rather die by attacking us, then they will be slaughtered like the sheep they are!

[Mergerberger II]

Intelligence reports from the Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst showed that numerous other nations were beginning to mobilize and plan to move against the Confederacy. Because of the nature of the beaches in both the North and the South, that is that they are both very low relative to the sea and without natural fortification, unlike the shores of Scandinavia with all their fjords and whatnot, the Ministry of Defence has doubled the production of both the Sea Wall and laid down plans for further fortifications.

To aid in the defence of the Union, the Ministry of Defence has ordered the placement of Thermite mines all along the Northern and Southern beaches. However, they are not ordinary thermite, rather they are Thermite-TH3, a much more explosive form of Thermite. Once the mines are tripped, a goo is spread about the person/thing that tripped the mine, this goo is made of Thermite-TH3. This goo is then ignited, which causes a massive explosion and, essentially, the death of whatever mechanical beast attempted to best the shores of Nordland. Through this, the shores are defended.

Bunker production requirements have been doubled. 2,000 bunkers will line the coast along the North Sea, and 4,000 bunkers will line the coast along the Mediterranean Sea. Every one of these bunkers have been specially designed for repelling a sea-based invasion. They are strategically placed in a formation designed to repel boats incoming, and are also thick enough to not be completely shattered, as well as still usable, when attacked by incoming missiles/bombing raids. Behind the bunker line there are placed 3,000 AutoFLAKs at the North Sea, and 6,000 at the Mediterranean Sea. Their purpose is specifically to intercept air raids, as well as target as many incoming missiles as possible. Their missile defence task is aided by missile-defence systems located more inland within the Union.

The North Sea Navy has been placed on high alert, and is currently patrolling the North Sea, mostly near where the North Sea turns into the Norwegian Sea, guarding Norvsea and the only entrance into Nordic waters. It is not expected that any fleets will travel through the English Channel, as those are Welsh sovereign waters and they would not seek to aid in a war right next to their nation. The Air Force has been put on constant patrol in Union sovereign air territory.

Additionally, half of the Southern Fleet has been moved to the Strait of Gibraltar, and will intercept any non-allied fleet coming through the Strait. Any non-allied fleet coming through the strait will be immediately stopped, and its ships either turned around or scrapped. If it is scrapped, the men will be sent home aboard merchant vessels which they will have to find on their own. Transport will not be given by Union vessels. If the seamen cannot find their way home before the conclusion of the war, they will be transported home by Union vessels upon conclusion.

Uberstein has released a statement, "Two friends fighting eachother...I knew this day would come, even back in the old days tensions were high between these two sides, and if it was not for my friendship with both Martens and Justinian this war would have come much earlier. Who knew that Ubersteinia was one of Europe's stabilizing elements. I hope no nuclear weapons fly and that each side fights honorably on the battlefield. Should any side be willing to come to the table, I offer my estate in southern Germany as a neutral ground for negotiations."

Air War

The SlavoRussian Airforce had made a fatal mistake. The Luftwaffe had created an air defense perimeter, using assorted Xenian Airbourne Warning and Control Aircraft. Therefore, with the AWAC's extended RADAR, German fighters were able to see farther distances. The massive air armada of SlavoRussian Avionics were therefore engaged, before they even know what hit them. Equipped on each Lu-65 and Lu-67 was atleast six ATAIM-10 Cross-platform Long-Range Air-to-Air Munition (XLRAAM). With a range of 400 km and a speed of Mach 4.3 the SlavoRussian fighters would prove no match. Each ATAIM-10 was guided by Multimode active RADAR, midcourse inertial navigation and had a 45 kg Continuous Rod, which was a cylindrical assembly of welded rods encasing a core of heptanitrocubane. When the laser-proximity fuze detonates the explosive, the rods rapidly expand outwardly and form a circular ring, which shreds any part of the targeted aircraft that it contacts. Although this system does not have the same blast radius a standard spherical HE warhead would have, the lethality of this weapon is much higher. In the end, some five hundred of these were fired by Luftwaffe pilots. The Luftwaffe did suffer some losses, in the form of ten Lu-65s, who were taken by surprised by enemy SlavoRussian Fighters.

Ground War:

As soon as German troops passed the border into SlavoRussia, the battles started. All over, explosions could be heard, all the way from the firing of artillery, to the firing of assault weapons. German Nakil 1A3s proved their worth against the Russian T-90 Tank. Using their massive guns, they fired one shell after another, hoping to kill their enemy in one swift strike. The goal was to mostly engage the enemy tanks beyond their visual range, but with the intensity of the battlefield, that plan mostly collapsed as armour faced armour directly.

The German soldier was no coward. He advanced on the ground, firing at enemy infantry. They were, of course, supported by the Arica. I 'Shalmaneser' Heavy Armoured Personnel Carrier, one of the best infantry support vehicles in the world. The Arica I used it's deadly 35mm Chaingun to fire at enemy infantry. Any armoured it engaged would be destroyed by it's TA-100. Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, which could penetrate 1,900mm post explosive reactive armor. Of course, the advance was being supported by numerous artillery strikes from 155mm Artillery and 254mm Mortar systems

As the advance continued, the forces ran up on various defenses built by the SlavoRussians. To get rid of the dragon teeth defenses, German engineers would move forward and plant C4 explosives, in order to clear a path. They would also use modified Nakil 1A3s, with bulldozers and other clearance tools to push the blocks out of the way for the offensive to continue. This would slow the German advances down considerably, but the German advance kept pushing forward to the East.

Operation: Thor

The High Command of the German Armed Forces launched their next deadly attack. A massive barrage from surface-to-surface missiles and air launched cruise missiles. Again, the Luftwaffe was at the forefront of the attack. This time, however, they put one squadron of GLI-133 Ank'ríat Super Heavy Bombers, along with three squadrons of MB-1 Ghost Strategic Stealth Bombers and two MLB-1 Varitas Stealth Bomber Squadrons.

Altogether, the bombers had atleast two hundred AGM-202 "Black Mamba" Air-launched Cruise Missile (ALCM)s. The bombers flew behind enemy lines, mostly staying over Ukrainian Airspace, to launch their deadly payload. As the bombers reached their launch points, they unleashed their deadly payload. The missiles were mostly Low Supersonic, with a speed of Mach 1.4 (1,715 km/h; 926 knots) and a range of 2,500km (1,350 nautical miles). They were guided by Terrain Comparison (TERCOM) LIDAR Suite with Satellite Direction.

Their main targets were SlavoRussian western airfields, power stations, and communication systems.

Losses

With the amount combat, this had been the single deadliest day of combat in the war so far.

Losses:

2,500 German Troops

50 Nakil Tanks

80 Arica I

15 Lu-65s/Lu-67s combined losses
