Amphibious assault vehicles would be seen moving through the bay in the morning as they drove up onto the docks and into the main streets of the city. Driving outwards towards the endge of the city the mechanized marine forces would be ordered to secure the entrances in and out of the city as well as take control of the airport and port facility for heavy equipment to be brought in.

Ferries between Tianjin and Shandong would unload at the same time but not with civilians, but with troops from the People's Liberation Army. Their car bays would not carry, passenger cars but military police vehicles. Moving swiftly to local police authorities and city hall the forces would immediately take control of law and order points. A colonel assigned to assume governance over the city would send a message to the cities mayor and police chief.

[quote]You are relieved of command. All forces are to assume command from PLA Sector Commanders. Security forces will have new Chains of Command which will be forwarded. Domestic security forces are to take the oath of loyalty to the new authorities or resign within 48 hours. Marshall law is enacted for 72 hours, during which time those out on the streets will be detained. At the end of 72 hours security forces will maintain a 10 PM curfew until further notice.[/quote]

All over in the ports of Jeju, Busan, Nampo, and Chongjing, similar incidents and subsequent orders would be issued.

Over Seoul and Pyongyang:

Airborne Soldiers would be dropped down into the city to begin taking control of the two key political cities on the penninsula. Troops were ordered to secure government buildings first. TV and radio broadcasts would be sent out on state TV ordering citizens to return to their home until further notice. An announcement would be given shortly.

Embassies from Foreign Countries were ordered to keep their personnel contained to embassies and designated residence. Transmissions to outside the country were shut down. Internet and phone service were suspended except those approved by PLA Northern Command.

[center]Dispatch from the Office of the Central Military Commission of the United Federation of the East[/center]

As of midnight today, the sovereignty of the Koryo is hereby null. The Korean Penninsula and all the territories of former Koryo are hereby incorporated into the United Federation of the East as the Korean Autonomous Territory. The People's Liberation Army shall have direct governance over the territory. The Korean Government is hereby dismissed, the Imperial Family shall remain in place but is void of any governing authority. Within one week the General Staff will appoint an administrative authority made up of local Koreans to assist the military in day to day governance. Local and Provincial Government shall remain in place under supervision from the People's Liberation Army. We do not anticipate a disruption in essential services. If Koreans experience disruptions please inform your nearest garrison NCO or Officer.

Further updates are to follow.

OOC: Nevermind, it's only an announcement, not actual action

Kap Seungil took a nice breath of his cigarette as he watched the actions of the UFE. Temporary measures for a greater future.


OOC: Consider Operation Han as happening after all the events in Japan ends. Thank you.

Two messages would be sent to both warring parties from Zargathia:

[quote]To: The Governments of the UFE and Koryo
From: The Government of Zargathia

Dear Sirs/Madams,

It has come to our attention that two of our neighboring countries are finding themselves at war.

Given the state of war your respective nations are finding themselves in, and the lack of treaties that would apply in this particular case (no defense treaties with Koryo, and no aggression treaties with UFE), it is the choice of the Zargathian Government to remain neutral in this conflict. This would mean that our borders are to be temporarily closed to armed military personnel and weaponry. In addition, we announce our presence on the border to be significantly enhanced to keep the fighting from spilling into our nation. Lastly, Zargathia hereby extends an offer to discuss peace in a neutral location within Zargathia where peace talks to end this conflict may be held.

Rest assured that these measures are standard policy of neutrality, and will be rescinded upon termination of the hostilities and a signing of peace.

Signed,

(scribble)

Rebecca Célentin
Royal Secretary of the Crown of Zargathia
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in absentia[/quote]

[quote]To: The Governments of the UFE and Koryo
From: Zargathian White Cross

Dear Sirs/Madams,

It has come to our attention that two of our neighboring countries are finding themselves at war.

We hereby formally request entrance into your respective nations to set up refugee camps and shelters for the affected civilian population. These troops will have some military presence, but will naturally not be engaging in combat unless fired upon as their core task would be to see to the safety of the refugees. In addition, all White Cross troops and vehicles will be clearly marked as such, and will pull out after successful completion of a peace treaty between your nations.

We humbly ask to restrict the damage to civilian population centers and infrastructure to a minimum, where tactically and strategically possible.

Signed,

(scribble)

Kuang Lei,

OOC: We're not at war Amyante, the UFE has taken over Korea from the current government and they've accepted it.

[Amyante]

OOC: I see. I'd be seeing a lockdown of internet, phone and foreign transmissions from Koryo, and my sats would see the paratroopers but not the reason why they are dropping. Add to that the transmission on Korean TV and i could only assume there was a war on. I'll be rescinding the transport limitations as soon as the agreement is made known ICly

OOC: This would be the correct course of action to take. We wouldn't want Amy to be acting on OOC information and NOT RP standard neutrality routines. Good for you, Amyante.

[Triyun]

OOC: SOP for a 3rd party in the case of a military conflict tend to be to contact the suspected government and to confirm or deny a conflict absent a DoW, furthermore, the fact that the Imperial Family remained in place when it holds status as head of state nor the resistance by the Korean Military, alongside the UFE MDoAP gives plenty to suggest this is something other than a DoW. I don't think ruling on possibilities other than conflict would be out of the question. I'd say those signs point to an assisted bloodless coup d'etat or in the context of CN RP politics, the UFE forces were invited in.

IC:

To the Zargathians: There is no military conflict. The People's Liberation Army has assumed control of Korea, the operation has been entirely bloodless.

[quote]Dispatch From the United Federation of the East Korean Autonomous Territory Command:

Communique #2: The UFEKATC hereby rescinds curfew. UFEKATC hereby reopens Seoul International Airport and Incheon Port. Communications are restored. UFEKATC civil code is now UFE Common Law. Korean territorial waters are now treated as UFE territorial waters. Korean Airspace is now treated as UFE airspace. All trade agreements in force by the UFE shall apply to the UFEKATC .[/quote]

[b]Classified Dispatch:[/b] PLA Forces are ordered to secure all fissile material in the country and bring it into compliance with UFE non-proliferation standards. All WMD is to be accounted for and brought under PLA safeguard.

OOC: Well, given the lack of information other than the visuals my sats were giving me, my government simply assumed the worst (UFE blitzing Korea) and acted accordingly. DoW's, though considered common courtesy, are not mandatory, meaning there is no reason why the absence of one would indicate a lack of conflict. Again, all i was seeing ICly were landing vehicles, paratroopers, cut communications and martial law, followed by an annexation (into an autonomous region, but still...). So yeah, that's my reasoning.

"With the restoration of communications we were able to confirm the true nature of the 'invasion'. As such, all restrictions placed upon the UFE and Korea as part of the declaration of neutrality are hereby lifted."
