Operation Rick-Roll

[HHAYD]

“This is for safety reasons! Aw, what the (expletive). Get your (expletive) over here now! Before we all have to shoot down these aircraft—which we probably will!” The Stasi official yelled through the megaphone.

Meanwhile, in the air, the New Englander interceptors suddenly found themselves vastly outnumbered. “We need more reinforcements, and right now!” One of the pilots screamed into his radio as he struggled to defend himself from the onslaught of the GLS aircrafts. But despite outnumbered, the New Englanders fared fairly well, losing over eight interceptors and having five damaged.

The Department of Defense, upon receiving news of the pilots’ plight, immediately ordered an additional ten squadrons (240 aircrafts) to be dispatched to the New Englander-GLS border. Meanwhile, above the border, the New Englander pilots fought back hard, utilizing their advanced technological prowess to inflict as much damage to the GLS aircrafts as possible. They, upon being briefed of this, fought valiantly, knowing that they would soon have a decisive numerical advantage over the rogues.

On the ground, the Army finally arrived at their destination, taking defensive positions just ahead of the unfinished border fortifications and assisting the Stasi border troops. With them, Army soldiers brought self-propelled howitzers and artillery pieces; they set them in place and unleashed a huge barrage of artillery shells up into the air at the GLS aircrafts. At this moment, over 40,000 soldiers were at the border between Ohio and GLS, with another 24,000 troops at the New York-GLS border. They would be augemented by reinforcements soon, if the situation escalates.

CLASSIFIED

In response to the provocation of the GLS aircrafts, the Department of Defense would elevate New England to DEFCON 3 and the National Service System was set to be activated, bringing the number of the Army to well over 800,000 soldiers in that case. All over the country, missile silos were placed into position as airbases were alerted.

OOC: All the excuse to invade GLS and perhaps annex it.

In TUO's HQ:

"Deploy all fighter aircrafts and send as many ground forces as possible to the GLS-New England border as soon as possible! Get the fighter aircraft and fuel production at max capacity, over capacity if possible!" the masked leader ordered while screaming over the phone.

------------------------------------------

Soon, all of the remaining fighter aircrafts took off all over in GLS and the cluster of fighter aircrafts at the Disparu-GLS Border flew into the massive chaotic fighting on the New England-GLS border after the escorted bombers landed safely.

Already, a total of 10 F-22 and 13 Su-30 MKI jets were lost in both battles, but it wasn't over yet...

------------------------------------------------

On the ground:

The TUO military, made up of 10,000 soldiers, 300 tanks, dozens of artillery guns, 34 helicopters, and a little over 360 humvees noticed the New England's AA firing, so they activated their artillery guns, helicopters, and tanks to pound them and the fleeing GLS military force. Meanwhile, a reinforcement of 20,500 soldiers, 200 tanks, 10 heavy artillery guns, 16 helicopters, and 30 humvees were approaching rapidly toward the GLS-New England border. The estimated time for them to arrive is about 20 minutes.

The GLS military force was forced to dodge napalm bombs and the TUO's military gun/artillery fires while fleeing toward the border. There was also something odd with the TUO military force...

They looked just like the GLS military due to the markings and paintings and there were kids strapped onto the outside part of the helicopters and tanks...

-------------------

OOC: The TUO is using one of the dirtiest tactics, using civilians as meat shields and a reminder to the enemies that they will end up killing civilians directly if they fire at the TUO's vehicles.

The reinforcements finally arrived, as new squadrons of F-40S accompanied by F/A-47s joined the fray. There, the New Englanders began to overwhelm the GLS rogue fighters, unleashing barrages of unprecedented fury. The GLS rogues would soon learn that New England wasn’t to be trifled with.

Meanwhile, in Boston, the Department of Defense was in high alert as they monitored the large movement of soldiers, tanks, artillery guns, helicopters, and other vehicles heading toward the New Englander border. “Initiate Military Protocol No. 5. We’re effectively at war.” SecDef Robert Gates stated briefly as he watched the proceedings on a huge screen in the briefing room. “I will inform the Disparuean government about this.”

CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION TO THE DISPARUEAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

According to our satellites feeds, it seems that a large military force is moving toward the New Englander border. The rogues have hostile intent, and they intend to take the war—yes, I consider this war—to New Englander soil. It seems that a general war is all but imminent, and I believe it may be best to conduct both Special Forces operations and general Army operations. The Army is being mobilized as we speak, and more forces will be mobilized to combat this threat.

Robert Gates,

Secretary of Defense, New England

Through Military Protocol No. 5, the Army and Stasi launched an emergency evacuation. Citizens of the city of Toledo and Buffalo, as well as neighboring towns and villages near the border, were being evacuated to areas deeper in New England. They would be protected by the interceptors and fighters. If the GLS rogues violated New Englander airspace, they had one thing coming.

At the same time, a partial mobilization was instituted, with the Army expanded to over 400,000. New reinforcements thus flooded into the border areas. Over 50,000 Army soldiers were at—or on the way to—the Ohio border and 50,000 troops to the New York border, bringing the number of soldiers at the Ohio border to 90,000 and the New York border to 54,000. If the GLS rogues thought they were going to penetrate New Englander soil, they had another thing coming: the New York border was so heavily fortified that it was virtually impossible to get through it. The Ohio border fortifications, though unfinished, was sufficient enough to stop the rogues and inflict heavy casualties too. In the border areas, the Military-SS began garrisoning Toledo, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Rochester, and Brockville. The air defense system was activated; missile launchers, artillery guns, and anti-aircraft guns allayed around Cleveland, Rochester, Erie, Mentor, Lorain, and even Toledo were fully-online and functioning.

At the border, Army soldiers manning the artillery guns soon found themselves under fire, and a couple of artillery guns were successfully put out of commission. This, however, served only to strengthen the Army’s resolve. “BLAST THESE (expletive) OUT OF THE AIR!” A sergeant roared as Army soldiers intensified their efforts and rate of fire. The double combination of artillery fire and attacks from interceptors and fighters would be devastating to the attackers, indeed.

To cover the (legitimate) GLS military force, the Army aimed their artillery and fired, to keep the rogue force at bay. However, the Army would notice something odd. Gazing at the distance, the Army soldiers could see, in horror, that children were actually strapped to the front of their tanks! What horrible (expletive) would actually do this? Up in the air, the pilots reported seeing what appeared to be weeping children strapped to the outside part of the helicopters. They duly notified their superiors on the ground.

“Don’t fire at them directly! I repeat, don’t fire at them directly! Try to disable them!” A commander, by the name of Aaron Mudd, radioed the troops under his command. The Stasi, meanwhile, was receiving the battered GLS force and quickly escorting them across the border. Commander Mudd notified the Department of Defense regarding this.

“Damn it!” SecDef Gates slammed his fist on the desk in anger after he slammed the telephone down. Several of his subordinates looked at them in alarm. “The terrorists are using children as shields! Our forces fire at them, they fire at children! These cowards! Initiate Emergency Military Proposition No. 15!”

Gates immediately notified the Disparuean Ministry of Defense regarding this.

CLASSIFIED TRANSMISSION TO THE DISPARUEAN MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

Our ground forces on the ground have reported seeing something horrible: children are strapped on the terrorists’ helicopters and tanks. They are using children—yes, CHILDREN—as human shields. If they fire on them, we could end up taking the lives of these innocent children! We will have to modify our tactics as to minimize the possibility of such casaulties.

Robert Gates,

Secretary of Defense, New England

At the border, the Army now recalibrated their artillery guns to fire blanks at the approaching rogue force to keep them at bay. The shells were calculated to hit the engine areas, or areas away from the children as much as possible, to try to disable them.

Noticing the sheer amount of firepower their enemy has, the TUO military retreated, including the air force. The hijacked anti-air defense towers stationed close to the New England-GLS borders that were under the TUO HQ's remote control opened fire, launching dozens of anti-air missiles per second.

The GLS anti-air towers' technology were inferior to New England's technology, but the anti-air towers made up the weakness by firing massive amount of radar guided and radar/heat seeking missiles at a time. Even if most of those missiles never hit, they would still spread chaos throughout the squadrons of enemy aircrafts.

As the reinforcements arrived, they were alerted by their enemies' attempt in disabling their tanks, so they added extra padding, more kids strapped onto all of their attack vehicles on all sides. That way, there is no way of disabling their vehicles without killing few children.

------------------------

In TUO's HQ:

"Now they are really attacking." mumbled the masked leader as he watched the TV displaying the video feed of the fighting. His phone ranged and he picked it up.

"Yes?"

"Most of the labor camps have been completed. Minor riots occured, but all of the rioters were executed immediately. We have already begun full production."

"Good. Do whatever it takes to increase production."

The phone clicked and he pondered about what to do to stop his armed forces from being crushed.

"I've got an idea..."

-------------------------------

Back at the GLS-New England border:

Dozens of trucks were driven toward the fighting, loaded with various cargo. After reaching behind the front line, the drivers got out and bricks were placed onto the gas pedals.

Soon, all of the trucks sped toward the New England military's positions as the TUO military retreated a bit more. Some of the trucks were loaded with fragmentation, high area damage, or napalm explosives. Other trucks were loaded with...

Fragmentation bombs and civilians locked inside the trucks. There were also sensors placed inside those trucks' tires. If one of the civilian loaded truck's tires are blown from gun fires, the truck explodes.

Packed people+frag bombs right next to them=gore showers

In Detriot:

It was a living hell. Bombs dropped from TUO aircrafts and artillery guns pounded the surviving GLS military positions for nearly two weeks straight. The GLS forces only held the ruined downtown area of Detriot with nowhere else to retreat to other than the water. Surprisingly, the GLS forces deadlocked the TUO forces with their strategic machine, sniper, machine shotgun, and mini gun nests placement and fortifications. Plus, the area outside of the downtown area was riddled with napalm, high explosive, anti-tank, and fragmentation landmines. Makeshift giant rat traps were also used to snap off the TUO soldiers' legs and trap light vehicles.

------------------------------------

In the GLS military HQ in Detriot:

"We only have 72 hour of supplies, including ammunition, left. We have to find a way to resupply or break through TUO's defense lines. Any suggestions?" asked General Brad.

"We can try swimming across the lake to the other side and escape." suggested one of the commanders.

"Are you out of your mind?! Then how are we going to flee from this nation without any heavy weapons?!" yelled an officer.

"Stop yelling you guys, or else I might as well as surrender so I don't have to hear you yell." General Brad ordered.

"We could try holding out as long as possible and look for material to build an AM radio. We could get the material by using the short range radios we have. By now, I think the neighboring nations would notice the chaos and invaded." suggested another commander.

"Good idea. But who knows how to build a radio?" General Brad asked.

"All of us, you know that was a required knowledge to pass the final exams of being placed in higher ranks, didn't you?" replied the first commander.

Back in Jubilife

Everyone in Aerospace Command's Control Centre triumphantly cheered when the video feed showed rogue jets beginning to retreat back to GLS. They probably realized that they were finally outgunned by Disparu.

"Aerospace, the enemy is retreating. Waiting for further commands. Over."

"Zapdos, fly back to the nearest base. Over."

Unfortunately, the celebration was only premature.

-------------

A messenger would give a letter to Terry Palkia about New England's plan to retaliate against the GLS rogues. The expeditionary force, GLS-SEF, would work together with the Disparuean Forces' Expeditionary Command, probably with some help from Special Operations.

Terry went back to Aerospace Command's Control Centre with champagne, since they were planning on celebrating, when a message from New England flashed in his screen.

"I never thought that we'll face a major crisis here at home. Sigh...", said Terry, before turning to the celebrating staff of Aerospace Command Control Centre. "People, we have a major crisis here! Tell all, yes, ALL, squadrons within range to head towards New England, we're gonna help our ally."

Terry left the Control Centre, and notified Land Forces Command and the Expeditionary Command to send their forces to New England.

"What's our ETA to the conflict?", asked Terry.

"Around two hours for our land forces, and ten minutes for Aerospace."

"Tell them to hurry it up! And send in our Special Forces as soon as possible!", replied Rerry.

Disparu's national DefCon was raised from Elevated to High, while Coronet's provincial DefCon was raised from Elevated to Severe.

As if he didn't need any more complications, he received another update from New England.

They had succeeded. The enemy (the TUO was the enemy, the GLS was a friend) retreated, and the aircrafts reasserted control of the airspace above the border. But as they did so, they noticed a series of blips on their radar: heat-seeking missiles! “Men, take evasive action!” The squadron leader yelled over the radio.

With that, the New Englander pilots undertook a series of complicated and sophisticated evasive moves; over time, they succeeded into giving the missiles the slip (only two aircrafts were hit and their pilots had to eject out, though).

All across New England, the missile silos slowly opened. The Department of Defense, monitoring the situation, ordered that general missiles be used, including interceptor missiles (THAAD and Starstreak). The THAADs and Starstreaks launched into the air, whizzing toward the GLS at top-speed. Their targets? The GLS anti-air towers and other strategic installations. Stopping the missiles would be very difficult, and they packed enough power to take the towers out. In addition, a dozen of such missiles were also heading toward GLS, most particularly New City and Detroit; they were to target TUO military base with the intent of wreaking havoc on them.

Regarding the tanks and other vehicles, the New Englanders were confronted with a dilemma: it seems that there were more children attached all over the vehicles, so there was virtually no way to stop them without inflicting some casaulties. But as they mulled over this, the Army and Stasi troops noticed dozens of trucks speeding directly for them!

“Oh (expletive). Shoot the tires out!” Commander Mudd shouted over his radio to his soldiers. But unfortunately, what he and the soldiers didn’t know was that the vehicles were engineered to explode—and that they had living hostages inside them. As soon as the bullets popped the tires, the vehicles exploded in huge balls of flames.

“What the (expletive) happened?! Why did they (expletive) explode?” One of the soldiers gasped in horror as he surveyed the scene of devastation in front of him. Several Stasi and Army soldiers were wounded from the fragments that flew out from the explosions and they were quickly carried to the rear. “We have a serious situation here!” Mudd shouted over the radio.

In Boston, at around the same time the Department of Defense received Mudd’s frantic statement, it also received a response from the Disparuean Ministry of Defense. In the briefing room, Gates stared at the screen as he read Palkia’s response:

But there is a strong possibility that the terrorists will employ anti-aircraft weaponry and other means to impede us. But we are doing something about that, so our forces can provide you cover. Our F-40s and F/A-47s will help protect both of our Special Forces.

On that related note, I would like to inform you that the Army will be launching a major offensive into the GLS in 24-hour’s time. It will be codenamed GROUNDKEEPING, and will involve up to 100,000 troops, possibly more. We have mobilized our military forces up to 400,000, possibly more. Though both of our nations hold a decisive advantage over the terrorists in every category, I cannot promise that it will be easy. But I know we can prevail over the terrorists and restore stability to our neighbor once again.

Secretary of Defense, New England

The GLS-SEF was now ready, trained, and equipped for its mission. Boarding S-22 Hawkeyes, the soldiers breathed in as they felt the doors close and the aircrafts lift off into the air. This was the moment of their lives, the one where they would fight terrorists. They were fighting for peace and stability in North America. The S-22 Hawkeyes was to bring them over to the GLS, the U-8 stealth bombers were to bomb the living daylights out of the terrorists, and the U-1s and UAV-1 Marauders was to provide reconnaissance missions and alert the Special Forces to enemy movements. Lastly, the missiles would help to draw the terrorists’ attention from the Special Forces.

The GLS anti-air towers had another trick up their sleeves, anti-missile systems and prototype anti-bomb and missile .20 mm rapid fire turrets. The anti-missile systems seemed inferior to New England's technology, but at least they have a chance of stopping the incoming missiles. The turrets rely on the towers' radar, are inaccurate, slow to react, and prone to freezing up, but they might shoot down or at least damage incoming missiles.

Most of the anti-air towers were destroyed or damaged at the end of the missile strikes, but some of them still survived mainly due to sheer luck. The TUO military wasn't really affected though, almost all of their strategic installations were outside of New City and some of the GLS military strategic installations in Detriot were damaged along with the TUO's strategic installations. Plus, most of the TUO's bases were underground or cleverly hidden in clumps of innocent buildings with entrances far away.

The TUO fighter air force remained in their position while the fighter jets took turns refueling in nearby airfields. There was something also going on in the military and the anti-air towers.

Now, each TUO soldier had a baby strapped to the front part of their body armor and there were captured civilians being strapped to the outside parts of the towers.

-----------------------

Meanwhile...

All of the Great Lakes State's TV broadcasting satellites was activated after being shut down by TUO's hacking. They then beamed TV signals from the TUO's HQ toward New England and Disparu:

A mysterious masked person sat in front of his desk, facing the camera. He then begin to speak:

"Hello everyone. I am sure you were alerted by the amount of people fleeing toward your nation. I planned on keeping this war quiet, not allowing anyone outside of Great Lakes State know what is going on. But no, bunches of mouth rattling refugees just HAD to flee toward your nation and rant what was going on after I knocked their pansy government and their even more pansy military down.

Since my silent war against Great Lakes State has been exposed, I'd like to play a game with you. Each time you attack my military force, you WILL kill innocent people. I have just ordered civilians to be strapped to anti-air towers and other structures vulnerable to air and missiles strikes, babies to be strapped to my soldiers as meat shields, children to be strapped to all over my vehicles, and people loaded into some of the driverless bomb trucks.

You want to overwhelm my military force and free Great Lakes State from my hands, I will pull out the dirtiest military tactic in book without hesitation and the tactic is being played right now.

You have been warned..."

Video feed ends and all of the GLS TV satellites were disabled again

More than a hundred fighter jets, marked with the flag of Disparu, had finally arrived at the battle. Unfortunately for them, it seemed that they were already too late, there was only carnage below them and they didn't know which side won the battle. Several trucks were speeding towards a group of soldiers.

The mega-squadron's lead pilot picked up his plane's intercom, and said, "Uh...is anyone listening? What happened here? Over."

The Disparuean soldiers would shortly arrive via military vehicles, aircraft and trains, accompanied by tanks.

Back in the Disparuean Forces' HQ in Jubilife, Terry Palkia would receive a gruesome message from the terrorist group via television. Since the entire province of Coronet was under lockdown, the broadcast would be jammed from civilian television, but government-owned televisions would still work. Hopefully, the rest of Disparu won't be able to watch it.

"Hello everyone. I am sure you were alerted by the amount of people fleeing toward your nation. I planned on keeping this war quiet, not allowing anyone outside of Great Lakes State know what is going on. But no, bunches of mouth rattling refugees just HAD to flee toward your nation and rant what was going on after I knocked their pansy government and their even more pansy military down.

Since my silent war against Great Lakes State has been exposed, I'd like to play a game with you. Each time you attack my military force, you WILL kill innocent people. I have just ordered civilians to be strapped to anti-air towers and other structures vulnerable to air and missiles strikes, babies to be strapped to my soldiers as meat shields, children to be strapped to all over my vehicles, and people loaded into some of the driverless bomb trucks.

You want to overwhelm my military force and free Great Lakes State from my hands, I will pull out the dirtiest military tactic in book without hesitation and the tactic is being played right now.

You have been warned..."

Terry Palkia facepalmed. These guys were insane, they were cannibals with no heart. They obviously had to be destroyed from the face of the world, but they're going against ethics to prevent them from restoring the GLS.

"I need the advice of someone. And I only know one person that'll be able to help me here.", said Palkia. He picked up the phone and dialled Chateau Jubilife's number.

Chateau Jubilife

Lance Pikachurin was drinking tea and doing "important" stuff when his phone rang.

"King Pikachurin. This better be important, I'm doing something.", said Lance.

"Ah, hello Lance. It's Terry, Terry Palkia. I need advice with this problem in the Ministry.", said Terry.

"Sure. I'll be happy to help.", replied Lance.

"Did you see the broadcast from the GLS?", asked Terry.

"Yes, it was horrible. Is that the problem?", replied Lance.

---------

"Well, you basically have three choices. First, you can just ignore the message and keep on shooting even if there's innocent civilians strapped to vehicles. That's the easiest and most efficient method, but more gruesome. Second, you can somehow try to figure out if you can destroy the terrorists without killing the civilians. Third, you can just let them have their way, which really isn't an option. But really, even if you pick anything, thousands of civilians will still be killed.", said Lance.

"Hmm...so are you saying that it would better if we just shot at innocent people, since they're gonna die anyways, just to get rid of this terrorist group?", asked Terry.

"Not necessarily, but it seems to be a good option. What do you think?"

"I'll ask New England about their position first."

The missiles dealt their damage. Sure, some of them were shot down by the terrorists’ inferior defense systems, but for the most part they slammed into New City and Detroit, destroying or damaging what was presumed to be the terrorists’ bases and installations throughout the country. The operatives at the National Missile Defense Command would congratulate themselves a job well done.

NEW ENGLAND-GLS BORDER

The mega-squadron's lead pilot picked up his plane's intercom, and said, "Uh...is anyone listening? What happened here? Over."

The Disparuean lead pilot would soon receive a reply by a New Englander lead pilot.

“We have successfully repulsed the rogue aircrafts, but it seems that our ground forces are contending with the situation. Over.” The pilot explained as he swerved his aircraft toward and then alongside the Disparuean aircraft. To be true, several explosions could be barely seen on the ground from up in the air.

All of the Great Lakes State's TV broadcasting satellites was activated after being shut down by TUO's hacking. They then beamed TV signals from the TUO's HQ toward New England and Disparu:

A mysterious masked person sat in front of his desk, facing the camera. He then begin to speak:

"Hello everyone. I am sure you were alerted by the amount of people fleeing toward your nation. I planned on keeping this war quiet, not allowing anyone outside of Great Lakes State know what is going on. But no, bunches of mouth rattling refugees just HAD to flee toward your nation and rant what was going on after I knocked their pansy government and their even more pansy military down.

Video feed ends and all of the GLS TV satellites were disabled again

In the briefing room in the Department of Defense building in Boston, Gates could barely contain his rage as he listened to the horrible message transmitted from the mysterious leader of the terrorists. As soon as the message ended, Gates turned to his subordinates. “This is it. We’re officially going to raze them off the face of the planet. They know we can’t attack them because we value human life, and they are exploiting that for malicious reasons. This is absolutely unacceptable and cowardly!”

Gates put his hands through his hair as he stood up and faced the large screen. “So, they want war? They want casualties? They want to trifle with us? Very well, we’ll give them one, New Englander style.” Gates stated.

“But sir, what about the hostages, about the children and the like…?” An aide pointed out.

Gates took in a deep breath. “Well, we’ll have to accept casaulties, then. Yes, it is heartbreaking and saddening and absolutely maddening, but we will have to accept such in a war. Remember, no war in history was fought without casaulties.” He paused for a moment as he turned toward his aides and subordinates. “We are now in a war, we have a mission to do, and we will do it. We will show to the world that we will not stand down to terrorists and that we will do everything humanely possible to eliminate such threat. Sacrifices must be made for progress. So God help us. Amen.”

---

While Gates was conferring with his aides in Boston, squadrons of S-22 Hawkeyes carrying soldiers of the GLS-SEF was flying into GLS airspace, heading toward New City and Detroit. Escorted by interceptors and fighters as well as bombers, the GLS-SEF was to coordinate their activities with their Disparuean brothers as well to eliminate any threats.

---

Back in Boston, Gates would receive a call from Terry Palkia regarding the course of actions that would be taken in accordance to the situation. (OOC: This okay? )

“Well, considering that I just spoken to my aides, I believe that we should proceed on eliminating the terrorist threat nevertheless. Yes, there will be casaulties, but it occurs in wars—and we are in a war, after all—and it will always happen no matter how much we try to avoid that. It is an unavoidable fact.” Gates stated through the phone. “But I believe we should try to eliminate the terrorist threat in such a way that innocent civilians will not be harmed, but I cannot assure that will be the case.”

---

It was finally beginning, the beginning of the end for the GLS terrorists. At both the Ohio-GLS border and the New York-GLS border, the number of Army reinforcements steadily increased as tens of thousands of soldiers streamed into the border regions. Well over 100,000 soldiers were mobilized to both border sectors, each, and were to be increased to over 200,000. Conscripting by the National Service System continued as tens of thousands of civilians were enlisted into the Army. Hundreds of Abrams, Panther, and BT-100 tanks were brought up to the front.

Squadrons of fighters, interceptors, and bombs—having refueled and refitted—were ready for their new mission at a moment’s notice. Airfields near the border regions were teeming with activity as pilots scrambled into the cockpits of their planes. Missile silos across the country were still buzzing with activity as further THAAD and Starstreak missiles were set to be fired at a moment's notice.

GROUNDKEEPING was now in full-force. It was going to be a success, and by the time it ended, the terrorist scum would be no more. With a mighty roar, hundreds of artillery guns moved into action, lobbying shell after shell at the rogue forces; it was to last for half an hour. This would provide ample cover for Army and Stasi soldiers (infantry) to surge forward, which they did. Swarming across the GLS-Ohio border in IFVs and Humvees, the troops swarmed toward Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing, supported by a thousand of tanks. At the New York border, midst a tremendous artillery barrage, tens of thousands of soldiers pushed forward; they were to capture the cities of Hamilton, Mississauga, and Kingston, and to relieve any GLS loyalist positions.

It had now begun.

Meanwhile, another video was broadcasted from TUO, this time, throughout the world from the temporarily reactivated GLS TV satellites:

In the scene, an building made out of cardboard and other random scraps with people being forced to into it at gunpoint. The same masked man from the previous video was seen standing in front of the camera.

"You wanna play, huh? You really wanted to play? Fine, I decided to spice up the game a bit more. Behind me is an building, no ordinary one, you are going to see something, very, very disturbing that is enough to label this as an " above adult" video.

Anyways, each day you continue to attack me, I will kill 5,000 civilians with lots of C-4, including children and babies. Mmm, gore showers."

The last of the people were forced into the building and the door was slammed closed.

"Ooh yah!"

The masked man then proceeded to pull out a detonator with a red button on it and just before he managed to press on it, a high ranking officer tackled the masked man while screaming, "I do not kill children and will not allow that to happen! I quit my job!"

"Aw screw you, you're fired." the masked man replied as he shoves the officer off of him into the mud. "And by that means, you are really fired." the masked man added in as suddenly, an incendiary grenade was thrown at the high ranking officer.

As the officer screamed to death, the masked man pressed the ignite button on the detonator still in his hand and the building exploded into a shower of red gore and flesh.

"And where is my god(insert inappropriate word) umbrella you dips!? WHERE IS MY UMBRELLA?!?!" the masked man yelled just as the shower of gore landed everywhere, including on the camera.

All of the video feeds end

-----------------------------------

About two hours later:

"New England forces are invading all over the place, and I lack the manpower to stop them. I need something to stop them, something..." the masked leader mumbled to himself as he scribbled over the map of Great Lakes State.

A sweating military general burst into the masked leader's office and said, "Sir, most of your soldiers hate the idea of having to wear babies on their chest. They don't like having to carry around a pile of soon to be gore and they find it too cumbersome. I hate to idea too of them having to wear babies on their chest, because I am NOT a baby killer unlike you son of a (insert inappropriate word)!"

"Take a seat please." the masked leader replied as he continued to look at the map. The general sat down forcefully and asked, "So what are you going to do about it? Put all of your soldiers on the death row?"

"I'd prefer to deal with it later, bye." the masked leader replied as he opened one of his drawers and pressed a red button. The seat the general was sitting on suddenly sank below the ground and flipped over underground, dumping the general out of his seat into something.

"Ah I bet he is going to have fun with my three giant pets Portuguese Man o' War. I need to find a way to cut down the amount of people I am dumping into their water tank though, overfeeding is bad." the masked leader said as the seat underground flipped upside and moved upward to it's original position.

He then picked up the phone and dial the doctor.

"What is it?"

"Your mind altering procedures are failing, do something fast."

"I noticed. I am going to have to re-mind alter all of your soldiers though and its going to take a big chunk out of your budget."

"I don't care, get the job done."

Phone clicks

He then pondered a bit more after slamming his phone closed, and suddenly exclaimed, "I have an idea!"

In Great Lakes State:

A new stragety was formed. Some of the TUO military forces are going to use civilians as shields, other pretend they are trapped GLS military units. In New City and other cities in the nation, fortification were being built by enslaved civilians.

They plan on tricking enemies in attempting to rescue the fake GLS military units, and then the fake GLS units would suddenly attack when the enemies are close enough, including other hiding TUO forces.

There would be no way of telling if a GLS military unit was a real one or not until too late...

Terry Palkia thought about the meaning of Gates' statement. They would continue to destroy the enemy even if it means killing thousands of civilians, but they would still try to save civilian lives if it was possible. Lance was right, then.

"Tell Land Forces, Aerospace and Expeditionary to stand by for Operation Enigma.", ordered Palkia. Operation Enigma's goal, like New England's Groundkeeping, was to retaliate against TUO and restore stability into GLS> About 120,000 troops, 150 fighter jets, 50 aerial firefighters, and 500 tanks were designated for the mission. It was the first time that all three regular branches of the Disparuean Forces would coordinate an attack together.

Tanks began to cross the Disparu-GLS border, firing at any rogue ground squadrons and helped the Disparuean soldiers to move forward. The fighters above provided air support, shooting down any rogue jets and quenching any napalms they launch. The soldiers were a bit hesitant in firing at vehicles and soldiers with civilians strapped on them, but they were under orders to shoot anyway, and they did.

Their first goal was to capture and occupy the city of Ottawa and surrounding areas, before moving forward.

In the briefing room in Boston, Gates and his subordinates would get another transmission from the terrorist leader. Where the SecDef had been enraged, he was now absolutely livid and disgusted. “Shut it off!” He roared as he slammed his fists on the desk, nearly cracking it. One of the aides nodded meekly as he quickly shut the screen off.

Gates struggled to maintain his composure, but was failing as he tried to contain his anger. “Okay…this is it. That’s the last straw…eliminate every (expletive) terrorists there, no matter what the cost…do it. Transmit the order to our soldiers…eliminate the terrorists…no matter what…it must be done…it must be done…”

Gates plopped back on his chair, still seething with anger.

…

Ground commanders would receive a series of new orders from the Department of Defense through the Military High Command. They duly passed it on to their soldiers, who acknowledged them, albeit with some reluctance. The soldiers were to eliminate every resistance, no matter what the cost. Sure, there might be casualties, but countless more lives could be saved. Their motto was now: “If anything fires at you, eliminate it.”

Spearheaded by tanks and IFVs, the soldiers continued their relentless advance toward Detroit. Missiles were up in the air, streaming toward the unfortunate city, as well as the capital and other strategic areas. The sky above southern GLS was swarmed with squadrons of interceptors, fighters, and bombers. Where they had advanced with cautiousness, the soldiers now advanced with recklessness as they hardened their resolves—and hearts—to the new task they were now going to do. Artillery guns were now used to level any town or villages where there was resistance, no matter the casaulties.

In the north, troops and tanks swept into Kingston as they marched on toward Hamilton and Mississauga. Any TUO soldier in Kingston, no matter what ‘gear’ he had with him, was immediately shot at by vengeful troops. Any ‘stronghold’ in Kingston was blasted to smithereens by artillery guns, missiles, and bombers. In short, the TUO had incurred New England’s anger and was going to pay. Big time. Any captured TUO soldiers was either shot on the spot or dispatched to Stasi troopers, where they would suffer severe ‘physical persuasion’ (torture) in secret locations and eliminated immediately after.

While the Army was ravaging the GLS countryside, eliminating any resistance, the GLS-SEF managed to reach Detroit against all odds. Descending to the ground on Detroit’s outskirts and downtown area, the soldiers readied their weapons and filed out, taking defensive positions among the city’s buildings and the like, awaiting the inevitable resistance from the TUO terrorists in the city.

“Allright men. We’re in. Now, our objectives are to find and liberate our GLS friends trapped in the city as well eliminate these terrorist (expletive)! Got it? Good. Move out, men!” Colonel Keith Price said as he readied his weapon and charged down one of the streets, his squadrons following him.

Meanwhile, squadrons of S-22 Hawkeyes escorted by fighters and interceptors continued to fly toward New City…

Ottawa, GLS

After several hours of blasting suspected terrorist hideouts, shooting anyone who shot back. Naturally, the soldiers were still hesitant with shooting terrorist wearing the "gear", but the orders were to shoot all threats. After several hours of fighting, the city of Ottawa and surrounding areas would be captured. The Disparuean flag was flown on top of the highest building, with Disparuean soldiers singing Le Festin, Disparu's anthem.

After helping Ottawa's residents with cleaning up and neutralizing any threats, the soldiers would continue to move on, capturing any TUO-controlled cities and towns. After hours of travelling, they would reach the nearest TUO base.

Fighter jets and bombers blasted the base and any rogue jets from above, while tanks kept on blasting shells towards the base's walls. As soon as the shells breached through the walls, the soldiers would surge in, shooting any TUO soldiers and sabotaging crucial things.

---------

Detroit, GLS

In Detriot:

It was a living hell. Bombs dropped from TUO aircrafts and artillery guns pounded the surviving GLS military positions for nearly two weeks straight. The GLS forces only held the ruined downtown area of Detriot with nowhere else to retreat to other than the water. Surprisingly, the GLS forces deadlocked the TUO forces with their strategic machine, sniper, machine shotgun, and mini gun nests placement and fortifications. Plus, the area outside of the downtown area was riddled with napalm, high explosive, anti-tank, and fragmentation landmines. Makeshift giant rat traps were also used to snap off the TUO soldiers' legs and trap light vehicles.

------------------------------------

In the GLS military HQ in Detriot:

"We only have 72 hour of supplies, including ammunition, left. We have to find a way to resupply or break through TUO's defense lines. Any suggestions?" asked General Brad.

"We can try swimming across the lake to the other side and escape." suggested one of the commanders.

"Are you out of your mind?! Then how are we going to flee from this nation without any heavy weapons?!" yelled an officer.

"Stop yelling you guys, or else I might as well as surrender so I don't have to hear you yell." General Brad ordered.

"We could try holding out as long as possible and look for material to build an AM radio. We could get the material by using the short range radios we have. By now, I think the neighboring nations would notice the chaos and invaded." suggested another commander.

"Good idea. But who knows how to build a radio?" General Brad asked.

"All of us, you know that was a required knowledge to pass the final exams of being placed in higher ranks, didn't you?" replied the first commander.

Operation Weavile, the name of the Special Operations team sent to Detroit, would receive a mayday message via radio. The group identified themselves as the GLS military, so the team began to head towards their base as fast as they could.
