Hellfire and Brimstone


Shadowsage

Recommended Posts

With no logical target to shoot at, the Empire sat on its' haunches and dug through the rubble. A full four nuclear warheads had impacted Foundation, obliterating the inner core of that city in a holocaust of wreckage and bodies. Three more warheads drilled a swathe through Paradiso; its' gleaming white structures forced beneath a cloud of radioactive contamination. Two more warheads smashed into Imperial Center. Its' highrise buildings were smashed asunder with the blasts rending their structures down to so much twisted metal. Interestingly enough, the buildings formed separate canyons of a sort which concentrated wind and yet forced the full fury of the nuclear blasts onto each building in turn.

Immediately, requests for monetary aid were sent out to allies; namely Greater Pacifica, the Rebel Army, the United Federation of the East, the Kingdom of Cochin, and Germany. No suggestions for reprisals were given; only respectful pleas for help in digging out the bodies. Reports were of course incomplete but it was estimated that at least three million people had died either in the fireballs or their direct effects.

[quote]The Kingdom of Cochin is horrified at the senseless destruction meted out to Holy American Empire. Such an attack is nothing but the act of cowards, attacking a nation which is at peace, destroying lives of so many innocent civilians in such a callous and shocking manner. The Kingdom of Cochin offers all possible assistance to Holy American Empire. We are immediately assembling aid fleets to assist with the humanitarian disaster and also sending Nuclear Deisaster Recovery teams to HAE. The State Bank of Tripuunithura is authorized to extend any amount of aid as needed by HAE. We apologize for not being able to commit the full capability of our material resources as our other allies, the Greater Korean Federation may also require some assistance with the same tragedy which has befallen them.

The people of Cochin are there with Holy American Empire in this tragedy and we shall cooperate with any measure HAE may deem fit to ensure that the criminals against humanity who conducted these attacks are given due punishment.

Yours Sincerely,

HH Kerala Varma,
The King of Cochin[/quote]


Orders have been issued to the Task Force 178 in Seattle to finish the port visit with UKIM as soon as possible to assist in the Nuclear disaster recovery operations in Holy American Empire. The first units of the GN225 and GAL Pelicans of Transport Command, RCAF are being loaded with emergency aid items to send on a priority basis to HAE as the larger capacity ships are being assembled and loaded all along the major ports of Cochin. Gearing up for a higher DEFCON level to be announces soon, Royal Cochin Air Force is also mobilizing its Air Freight assets in a massive manner for a soon to be launched air armada to transport air supplies to HAE and potentially GKF.

The first units of Royal Cochin Air Force to arrive at HAE designated airfields are the Halobs of the HB32A squadron. The Heavy transport aircrafts of Royal Cochin Air Force had flown over the unclaimed areas of Africa north of Transvaal (Tanzania, Congo and North Angola) with refueling by the Halob tankers at NAS St Helena. The 12 lumbering transport aircrafts of HB32A Aquadron would be the first in a massive aerial convoy of transport aircrafts mobilized by Royal Cochin Air Force. A total of 10 regiments of Halob and 20 regiments of Merat have been assigned for the relief operations in Holy American Empire apart from the extra large transport aircrafts like the GN225 and GAL Pelican. Four of the six GN 225s commissioned into Royal Cochin Air Force are now assigned to the HAE relief duty. Special permissions have been sought from Arctica and Transvaal for emergency refueling in case any of the aircrafts find themselves in trouble in the intercontinental flight.

As the rapid reaction aid materials are being sourced from the National Reserves Stockpiles, humanitarian relief efforts are also being actively conducted amongst the civilian populations who are horrified by the scale of tragedy that has befallen in Foundation. The NBC Recovery teams of Strategic Command are among the first HALOBs to fly to the city. With the entire Cochin relief operation being hinged around Naval Air Station St. Helena Royal Cochin Navy has been surging additional fuel stocks to NAS St. Helena to facilitate the massive aerial armada and maritime fleet that is setting sail for HAE. Apart from Auxiliary Reserve Fleet's freighters, Royal Cochin Navy has chartered several merchant vessels to transport aid materials to HAE. These are now loading up cargo at the principal ports of Cochin as civilian contributions are pouring in.

Two Hospital Ships CNS Sarada and CNS Subhadra have also been dispatched to Holy American Empire along with a large volunteer force of doctors from all over Cochin who have volunteered for service in HAE.

[quote]To the Holy American Empire,

While this letter may not be obvious considering there is hardly any relation between our states we still feel sympathy for what happened to you. Knowing the effects of Nuclear force we hereby offer the Empire financial and material aid in the form of reconstruction crews and radiation clean-up experts through Apollo's Hand, our international aid agency. We hope these resources can help you rebuild and we wish your people all the best.

Yours sincerely,

The United Winter Federation had not forgotten the gift the Holy American Empire had given them and upon hearing of this dreadful attack plans were made to provide what help they could. Eventually a large shipment of food, water and basic medical supplies along with some experienced medical teams was put together and loaded onto a number of cargo vessels ready to take the cargo to the HAE.

The Cochin ships were welcomed with applause loud enough to shake the heavens themselves. Holy American relief crews had worked until they dropped from exhaustion, then got up and did it again over and over. The Cochin ships would be sent in their entirety to Imperial Center to aid in the relief effort there, where millions had died and hundreds of thousands struggled through the wreckage of the nearly molten inner city. Such was the size of that ailed mistress of the Canal that the outer suburbs were faced with lightly damaged structures and cracked windows, but not nearly he apocalyptic annihilation faced upon the inner sanctum of the city.

The Empire is delightful to find its' friends - no, its' family in the Winter Federation. Come! We stand in United purpose! Santiago stands waiting to shuttle your supplies and brave persons to the inferno that is Foundation.

PRIVATE TO THE HAE

Even without prior diplomatic contact between our nations, the Nation of Nod is willing and able to act in accordance to White Cross regulations to aid your nation's clean up and recovery efforts. We can send a detachment of our fleet at once, if you wish.
[/quote]

We will have to rectify this in the future. The Nation of Nod is honorable indeed and we in the Empire would do well to consort with such. Please direct your efforts to the stricken city of Paradiso.

Private to the HAE:
Despite our quibbles in the past, It is the duty of one North American Nation to help the other out. Therefore, the United Kingdom of Idaho-Montana is pledging to your nation anything we can offer. be it clean water or blankets and medicine we are here to help you.

A formal apology was extended to the UKI-M for any hardship the embargo may have caused. Acting Emperor Roxas was quoted to have said, "We should be humbled by their offer in the face of such madness. Now help me move this concrete block!"

These attacks are terrible and cowardly, and though our neighbours have been hit as well we extend to the HAE as well an offer to aid in rebuilding your nation to its former glory. We stand ready to send relief and repair corps who will do all they can to save those trapped within the attacked cities, as well as aid in distributing supplies to survivors and repairing what was lost. You need only to tell us where to send them and they will immediately move out.

[url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=65298&view=findpost&p=2437935"][b]1st Fleet of the Aviatrix: Leucosia[/b][/url] would immediately debark from the Gulf of Tadjoura circling the Cape of Good Hope before setting anchor several dozen kilometers from Paradiso for the designated zone for relief efforts. Naval infantry deployed from the carrier group would immediately set up a forward command post, clearing up landing zones for Nodic heavy air lifters.

CVN-00 '[i]Paragon' [/i]and CVN-01 [i]Apotheosis' [/i]would begin launching their aircraft- one fourth of their air wings for an immediate multi-function mission: Reconnaissance, Search-and-Recovery as well as Combat Air patrol. Remaining aircraft would remain on launch surfaces, their pilots within the cockpits on full combat alert should the assailants consider a follow-up attack.

CGN-00 [i]'Ascendant'[/i] would remain with the two carriers, performing a full active and passive radar scan with its numerous fire control, air search and track systems, specifically designed to handle both ballistic and sea skimming munitions for fleet defense.

The remaining DDGN-00 '[i]Zealot',[/i][i] [/i]FFG-00 '[i]Infinity' and [/i]FFG-06[i] 'Sempiternity' [/i]would perform direct surface action and fleet defense missions including anti-submarine warfare, deploying anti-submarine ROV units to scour the perimeter, providing a defensive picket against submersed attacks.[i]

The Winter Federation cargo vessels quickly sailed out into the open ocean as soon as the HAE's message was recieved. Knowing that every second counted the captains ran their engines at max intending to reach the Empire as quickly as possible. Luckily no ships broke down and they reached Santiago within hours. Here the supplies were off loaded and given to the Empire people and the medical teams waited for transportation to Foundation.

"The Kingdom of Ursalia is completely stunned at this utterly cowardly attack. We express our condolences to the HAE, Korea, and England, and we will send over food, aid, supplies, and equipment."

---

Several cargo ships carrying food, aid, supplies, and equipment sailed from Vancouver, Nadrink, and Sitka, and headed in the direction of all three nations.

Kingdom of Ursalia ships were routed to the ongoing battle in Imperial Center against blazes and collapsing buildings. Their efforts would be welcomed and cherished by the beleaguered crews on-duty, the supplies helping significantly towards forming a fire break between the relatively unscathed outer city and the turmoil of the inner. Once the security of the surviving buildings was assured, stockpiled aid and equipment would be used to begin the salvage of what remained. Not much hope held out in the Empire for the poor souls trapped inside, and Acting Emperor Roxas grimly reported to the populace that evening that expected death tolls for Imperial Center alone had surpassed 10 million.

The Task Force 178 sent to United Kingdom of Idaho and Montana which was emergency rerouted to Holy American Empire, would near HAE waters by this time. The entire Task Force would assist HAE personnel in the disaster recovery operations.

UFE air assets had landed and begun to deliver the initial supply lines to the Holy American Empire, the first three massive aid flotillas from the strategic naval reserve and merchant marines had been dispatched now from Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tianjin which would be delivering much larger amounts of aid than planes could carry. Normally intended to carry heavy armored divisions these were equipped with personnel, construction and S&R heavy machinery, food, water, and advanced clean up systems. 5, 000 personnel were now in place on the ground and ready to put themselves under the command of the Holy American Empire's central command for the disaster site.

The Nodic contingent would immediately depart for the strait of Gibraltar to accompany other forces heading to the area, citing alternate orders. However, naval infantry have been ordered to remain behind and assist with humanitarian efforts. 1,200 men would begin to clear through the rubble, while also guarding civilian relief personnel.

The nuclear retaliation by Nation of Nod upon Monaco had changed the dynamics of Global Politics in a far greater measure than the rogue attacks upon Holy American Empire, Korea, England, Nod or J Andres. War is now a clear and present possibility. Hence assets deployed for peacetime duties would have to be redeployed for war time purposes. Hence the classified message was sent to Holy American Empire.

[quote][b]Message to Holy American Empire[/b]

We are sorry to inform you that the Royal Cochin Navy Task Force 178 which is currently along your Western seaboard to assist in the nuclear attack relief operations have to be withdrawn in light of increasing global tensions. The aid efforts from Cochin in the form of ship and air convoys would continue to arrive along the ports on your Eastern seaboard, however the Naval task force is now returning.

The criminally irresponsible actions which started with the nuclear attacks upon Foundation City and now the retaliatory nuclear attack upon Monaco is now poised to take our world into an even more dangerous phase. We hope that even through these hard times we may prove to be a worthy friend to the HAE.

Yours Sincerely,

HH Kerala Varma,
The King of Cochin[/quote]

As the orders were received by the command staff aboard CNS Malabar, immediate recall orders were issued to those sailors and aviators who had been ashore to start the relief operations. As the ships of the Task Force fired their engines at full steam for the combat deployment back to friendly waters, the aircrafts and helicopters would pick up the servicemen on shore. The TF178 would sail back to Indian Ocean through the Drake Passage south of Holy American Empire. Urgent duties are awaiting TF178 to prevent further nuclear catastrophes.
