Return of the Reich

[The Man At Your Door]

Upon hearing the threats of the Confederacy of Mexico regarding the torturing of captured soldiers the President of New Crete, Ser Markus Wolff, makes the following announcement:

1) Any citizen of the Confederacy of Mexico discovered in the territorial boundaries of New Crete are hereby ordered to evacuate immediately. They have 12 hours to do this and they will be given no compensation for thier departure.

2) Any citizen of the Confederacy of Mexico found inside New Crete after the expiration of the time limit will be considered a hostile terrorist.

3) These captive terrorists will be treated in the exact same matter in which the Confederacy of Mexico treats captured soldiers of the Dragon Empire.

At this time we extend our offer of support to the people of Texas. We offer weapons, food, and men to aid your cause of freedom. We've purchased up the following for immediate dispatch:

1) 5000 AKM rifles with munitions

2) 500 PKM Machine Guns with munitions

3) 100 Drugnov Sniper Rifles

4) Rations for 1000 men to last 30 days.

5) Mines, bouncing bettys.

6) 500 RPG Gernade Launchers

These items and the 1st New Cretan Volunteer Battalion is being dispatched by ship to the nearest safe port. We wait your advice on how to best facilitate transport. The people of New Crete can't offer much, but what we can give we shall give. Each and every man in the Volunter Battalion goes on his own accord and isn't in anyway being ordered by our military to do so. They've paid for their own equipment, food, medical supplies, and so forth through their own monies and a very large donation from New Crete Arms Incorperated.

We've advised these men that should they be captured or killed they can expect little in the way of proper treatment from those animals in Mexico and they are fully willing to take those risks. I've advised them that it may well be better that they fight to the death rather than be captured due to the Confederacy of Mexico's barbaric position regarding the Dragon Empire.

The Imperial Fleet takes an offensive position just outside of the Texan naval borders, meanwhile Mexico would receive the access codes to ISIS* and a message help will come soon. Full mobilization remains in effect. State channels would commence broadcasting anti-Dragon Empire propaganda and products coming from it would be heavily taxed to make buying them within Imperial Borders too expensive.

OOC:

*: ISIS - Imperial Satellite Intelligence System

OOC: Uh, how did your forces arrive at Texas so quickly? It takes time for your forces to get there from the Imperial Union, where my naval base at Guantanamo Bay is much closer. You’ll have to contend with my Navy moving through the Gulf of Mexico. That, and the Vinilandese Navy too, which is also closer than the Imperial Union.

IC:

Hours later, several ships split off from the task force and streamed into Fort Featherston and Mobile, where they proceeded to board FRA forces. When it was completed, the ships sailed out of Mobile and Fort Featherston and streamed full-speed toward Texas, escorted by several destroyers and cruisers.

At the same time, while the landing ships were picking FRA forces up, other elements of the Special Expeditionary Force continued on toward Texas. The cruisers, destroyers, and submarines stopped at their positions at intervals off the Texan coast while several landing ships carrying New Englander troops continued on toward the port of Galveston, while others remained with the cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, poised to launch a seaborne invasion of the Confederacy. When the troops arrived in Galveston, they were immediately brought across the country to the Texan border to ambush and repulse the Confederate invasion—much the same as the war against the former Republic of Biff.

Squadrons of fighters and interceptors flew from Guantanamo Bay, alongside the Special Expeditionary Force, toward Texas. They were to utilize Texan bases and airfields to defend against enemy air attacks. They were also to coordinate their attacks with the Army and Navy.

OOC: I work with 1 month=1 year, I posted it 1 day ago giving me 12 days to arrive from Buenos Aires to Mexico not to forget moving through waters neither you nor Viniland are allowed to fight in.

[V The King]

In Texan waters:

The Vinilandese Navy is currently facing the Imperial Union's. No orders to fire were given, although all crew were ready to engage in combat if the enemy was to cross the boundary.

From the Foreign Ministry:

"Since the Confederacy has not retreated, Vinilandese troops will enter Texas to defend its sovereignty."

Classified to Texas:

"Requesting permission to move 150,000 troops and 1,500 tanks into your country. May our Air Force use Texan bases as well?"

OOC: A little hurried, but I got no time now.

[Germanic Republic]

NEW ENGLAND,

We will issue our declaration of war and warrants for Crimes Against Humanity charges upon land-fall. 
Make for Corpus Christi post-haste, that is Division's rendezvous with Arrow & Blitz, and then continuing inland. 
Helicopters on their way to Texas with Blitz & Arrow, Division is in your hands.

Good luck and godspeed.

I see that the Dragon propaganda machine is well at work here. The Confederacy does not represent the Corpocratic Federation of North America, the CFNA is long dead and gone. The Confederacy of Mexico does however remember when your Dragon Bloc turned It's back on the Mexican people when they came to the defense of the Reich's territory. The yellow menace threatens all of us, not just those they claim to be the enemies of. Today it will be Mexico and the Imperial Union, tomorrow they'll be "defending" North America from the Tahoe Republic and Viniland themselves. I urge the Commonwealth of Texas to consider what it is doing and just how much support it will get when their fellow North American nations find out that they've allowed a single gook to step foot on American soil.

Any Dragon Soldiers we find on the battlefield will be treated as a terrorist. They will not be subject to international laws on how to treat prisoners, they will be subject to torture and immediate execution. You've been warned.

OOC: Sorry to all of you asians out there, the Confederacy is very xenophobic.

"This is the regime that the Amarican Continent would support? Disgusting."

***Classified***

Two carrier groups of naval ships are dispatched, along with transports containing 10,000 troops, 500 tanks, and 500 other assorted armored vehicles. ETA, one week, four days.

[Subtleknifewielder]

OOC: So who's in charge of Mexico right now? Whose protectorate is it?

Affirmative. We will bring Division to Corpus Christi.

Noting the move of ships by Promised Land the Imperial Navy at Texas would withdraw and accompanied by other ships from the fleet proceed to block the fleet when close enough.

Edited September 24, 2009 by Centurius

[Manetheren]

If Promised Land moves naval vessels into the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean they will be fired upon. We would really like to avoid a war in North America and request all parties stand down and withdraw their military forces.

We will respect your wishes in regards to Texas however we have given our fleet permission to order attacks once Promised Land Ships enter American waters. We hope you can understand this.

[Michael McBride]

Noting another aggressive move by foreign nations on North American soil, the other seven ships in the Federation's fleet have moved southward to block off any attempt to pass into the Gulf. Foreign nations attempting to enter will be dealt with in the most efficient manner possible.

[Sargun II]

Carthage will not be attempting to pass into the Gulf - we are busy dealing with a foreign invasion in Africa ourselves.

Private to the Imperial Family

It appears that our help can only be financial - Tahoe and the Federation will block any attempt to assist and we will not fire upon your allies.

"Excellent, so you will withdraw your support of the Imperial Family in favor of the government you already put in place? We are not sending ships into the gulf, merely re-starting our regular patrols that were abandoned when our navy was re-fitted."

As if confirming this claim, several more ships departed in the opposite direction, into the Pacific Ocean. The ships in the Atlantic continue on their course.

[KingChris]

*Private to TX*

We have a full battalion (256) of our Glory tanks ready to ship. If we can get Viniland to agree, we can have them shipped to you inside of a week via their protectorate areas. Total price: $765M, payment to be defered until the end of the conflict.

*Private to Taeunas*

That'll do, although I doubt Viniland will allow this, as they don't like foreigners.

I'd hope that the Government of Texas offers the Confederacy of Mexico similiar terms when they are drinking beers on a pile of Mexican bodies. What a total insult to the people of Texas. They already have voted on their leaders and the cowards of the former government already voted with their feet when they exceeded the speed of light in the process of fleeing for their lives.

TEXAS, Remember the Alamo!

We thank you for your support.

## Encrpyted Communique to the state of Texas ##

"We have an interest on helping you defend your sovereignty. We have some air wings ready to move to your region if you can provide basing support. Can you support and sustain our bombers and fighters if we send you this aid? We were thinking of bases in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and in Houston."

Tidus Wilhelm,

Executor of the Dragon Empire

*Private to the Dragon Empire*

That will be very helpful. We might have some of the fighters and bombers move to San Antonio and El Paso though, if that's alright with you.

The Confederacy has offered a reasonable peace to the Texans, should it be rejected any blood shed from here on out is on their hands. They are not worthy of any aid from their fellow nations and by aiding them you aid our mutual Asian enemies that North America has worked so hard to keep off the continent.

Military Actions

Confederate forces in Starr county have been reinforced by armor and air assets, along with artillery. They've holed up in the former Texan bunkers used against them during the river crossing and have continued to engage the Texan forces dispite heavy causelties. Confederate occupied Edinburgh has been put on a strict curfee system, while Confederates begin constructing defenses on the outskirts of the city, aswell as in the province of Cameron. The Confederate advance has halted on all fronts, with their army digging in and preparing for a counter attack.

We believe your terms are too harsh, and as a result, we reject your surrender terms.

OOC: I surrounded your troops in Starr County and attacked you.

Unfortunate. The Commonwealth preaches democracy yet refuses to allow it to happen. When offered a solution to end the bloodshed, they instead spit in its face. Hopefully other nations will now realize the Commonwealth's true colors and will support the rightful regime in the area, the Imperial Family.

All trade relations with the Commonwealth have been cut off, all diplomatic relations frozen, any Commonwealth monies in Federation banks frozen, and Federation shipping lanes are now closed to the Commonwealth. The Federation no longer recognizes the Commonwealth as a country or sovereign entity.
