Marschall Erwin Westenhousen couldn't see 10 feet in front of him. As rain poured down on his command tent, he studied the photos taken of the battlefield from a spy satellite. The pictures from higher up, and were less defining then he would have liked, but he could make out some trenches. Looking at a sketch he made of the positions, he drew lines from the numerous green triangles (armored vehicles), around the red circles (artillery) in front of them, and towards the lines that indicated trenches. The Leopard 2 tanks the Imperial government provided him were attached with machine guns on the front, and he would use these to clear out the trenches...just as the Belsenists did to the Royalist's trenches back in the Myrorian Civil War. But this time it was for the good of Myroria, instead of the bad.

Getting in the drivers seat of his Mercedes-Benz Commanding Officer Vehicle - which basically looked like a sedan that was armored and could drive off-road  - he went to the tanks in the rear and gave them their orders.

General Nicholas Brock looked over the reports of the raid on San Fransisco. the raid was successful. The loss of a majority of the DS Pacific Fleet meant that with the exception of a few squadrons, the Canadian navy had complete control of the DS west coast. He looked at the map of the Baja/California border. His units were preparing for an invasion of the Democratic States of America. More troops were brought over from the Empire, over a million more men just to be launched at the California front. He looked outside of his headquarters and could see tanks and artillery moving to the front. Men dressed in kahaki uniforms. They were about to mount an invasion into the Democratic States. Confederate soldiers marched alongside the Canadians. They were going to sandwich the west coast armies between the Canadian/Confederate army and the northern Myrorian army. Nicholas Brock picked up the radio. "All units move forward, I want to break through the DS army and head for San Fransisco."

Private Zack Chad was at the California front. He kept his rifle at the ready, his battalion was moving into a Yankee city called Oakland that had been pounded to hell by artillery. They could hear explosions meaning that the artillery were still hitting Yankee positions. He looked at another of his friends, Arthur MacGregor. "Hey Artie, when are we going to get this Oakland. My feet hurt." Arthur smiled. "Well, all I heard was that when we get to this city, we can mount an invasion on the provincal...no state capital of San Fransisco. Then we just sandwich the retreating Yanks in between us and the Myrorians. Then if the DSA doesn't surrender than, we move east."

Zack looked at his friend. "I heard that General Worthington has moved his men into that Mormon state."

"I don't like Mormons that much, thank fully there are only a few in Canada-Quebec but at least here, they know who's side to be on."

Zack nodded. They arrived at the front in Oakland. The city was pounded to pieces, but the Canadian-Quebecois flag flew over the city. Over yonder was San Fransisco. The Yanks had dug in between San Fransisco and Oakland. If the Canadians wanted California, they would have to take it. The battalion moved down as planes screeched overhead. The Battle of San Fransisco was about to begin. But from what Zack could see, it wasn't going to be easy.

Four days had passed since the Battle of San Fransisco began and the Canadian/Confederate army had gained little ground . The Yankees were yielding little and were inflicting heavy losses on the Canadians and the Confederates in exchange of their own. Captain Charles French was standing in a trench waiting for the next Yankee attack. The battles at the beginning of the campaign were near to easy. The Americans were demoralized by the swiftness of the Canadian onslaught, but now they seemed to have gathered themselves into a powerful defense. Charles knew this. He had to get his men into the Yankee trenches without getting the alot of them killed. The last attacks were defeated and the presence of scorching tanks shells and crashed planes were evidence of that. He turned to his men. The Canadians and the Confederates were prepared to break the Yankee morale in the west once and for all. "All right men, I'm not going to get into a long and pointless speech. I'm just going to say that we have done our duty many times over. Let's do it one more time."

The Canadian lines became alive as Confederates and Canadians swarmed out of their trenches. Artillery fired just in front of them as if to hide the real assault. Tanks and tank destroyers followed. Helicopters attacked Yankee lines to make sure they kept their heads down. The Canadians finally got into the Yankee lines and the battle surged into a melee brawl. Confederates armed with knife bayonets and Canadians with longer sword-bayonets fought the Yankees with every thing they had. Captain French made his way onto a hill where the Yankees had plated their flag. French pulled out the flag and threw it on the ground. He and two other men lifted the flag of the Canada-Quebecois Empire. The allied force pushed forward causing the Yankees to fall back into San Fransisco. Once in the city, Canadian artillery brought everything they could bear on the state capital. Soon a white flag was flown. The Democratic States Fourth Army surrendered.

STATE COMMUNICATIONS

To: Canada-Quebecois Empire
From: The State of Xyrael

It has come to our attention that the Canada-Quebecois
Empire is firing heavy ordinance upon high population
density areas. We kindly ask the Canada-Quebecois
Empire to cease this appalling tactic, and fervently
request that the Canada-Quebecois Empire immediately
dispatch a sizeable medical team to tend to the wounded
civilians. Once again, the actions of the Democratic States
government do not justify the death of it's citizens.





Several large transports had been finished receiving supplies. One vessel was stocked with medical equipment and supplies, another large amounts of Xyraeli food, and a supertanker with more than enough fuel to supply the Democratic States Army. Another freighter was loaded with various types of munitions, as well as 4,000 SSR-50 (AS-50 Sniper Rifles). Within hours the crew had made their preparations to sail for the Democratic States, and were ghosted by two Akula-class submarines.

The Democratic States of America currently occupies the Confederate States of Sovereign Dixie, and the death of their citizens by the Democratic States is more appaling. They pillaged and raped when they took those states. If the Fourth Army thinks that hiding behind civilians in San Fransisco was going to stop my bombardment, they were dead wrong. Our bombardment of San Fransisco is to teach them what the southerners are currently going through. Medical teams are currently in San Fransisco helped the wounded and displaced civilians, but I will not change my strategy unless the President of the Confederate States tells me otherwise. Until then, if DS civilians don't want to undergo a bombardment, they would do best to leave their cities when we arrive. I have used this straetgy in Las Vegas, and Carson City. And I will continue to use it until the DSA surrenders.

The Xyraeli vessels were well on their way to Boston, the sailors tending to the crafts as they sliced through heavy waves, a bitter storm beating at their rugged faces. The Akula-class submarine Atlatl followed deep under the waves, her Captain reading over his orders through worn and weathered eyes. He was slightly disappointed that his men would not see combat, but he knew the State was not properly motivated enough to commit troops.

State media had begun covering wounded Northerners as well as Southerners. War is war, it's a tragedy, but when both sides must attack civilians to prove a point it only serves to bring two peoples closer together as the find a common sense of purpose, said the State Press. The American states would indeed unify some day. The south may or may not 'win' the war, but the American people were seperated by a meaningless imaginary line, and they would unite under the flag of brotherhood one day. The State Media, however, was beginning to portray the Myrorians and Canadians as men killing Americans, not Northerners, for there was no difference between a northerner and a southerner beyond geographical location. To kill one American was tantamount to killing any other, and this was tragic.

Quote from: Xyraeli Convoy Broadcast to DSA
A supply convoy is approximately eight hours off your northeastern coast, currently headed for Boston. With it are medical supplies, munitions, foodstuffs, and fuel. These items are being given in a good faith gesture so that the DSA may better protect her civilians from the brutal effects of war. Should the civilian death toll continue to rise, the State of Xyrael will consider requisitioning more equipment, but should the DSA cause harm intentionally to any Southern civilian populace the State will reconsider it's offer. These vessels are being flown under a flag of neutrality.

The Xyraeli State Press wishes to imbed reporters with several of
your units as well as other Pax Imperium units so that the
State may gauge the extent to which all American civilians are
harmed. This request is put to you so that should the American
states unify, there will be no ill will between Northerner and
Southerner. Surely the Southerners do not wish to 'oppress'
the Northerners as the Northerners 'oppressed' the Southerners.
War crimes must be prevented, for the benefit of America as a whole.



OOC: If the Northerners hide in a town, at least allow them time to flee, and set up the necessary measures to do so. I understand the military advantage gained by not allowing the Southerners to regroup, but a siege and blockade of a city as well as propaganda is better than murdering Americans, northerner or southerner.

 The war was going well, Pax Imperium allies were destroying the Yankee armies wholesale. The burden of Confederate, Inglo-Scotian, Canadian, and Myrorian lives being lost to an enemy too stupid and too stuborn to surrender was growing heavier by the day, however. Pershing's army was north of Iron City completing it's resupply, Enterprise and Endevour were on their way to strike New Yorkshire and out west, the Confederate/Canadian armies unleashed Fear and Loathing upon Las Vegas.

 President Anderson, in a closed door meeting with higher ranking members of the Legislature and Cabinet, decided that the end to this war must be pursued more agressively, if there were, in fact, to be a CSSD left when all was said and done. It was with a heavy heart he signed his agreement to the plan presented before him.

 The following statement was released to all media outlets.

Quote

 In response to Xyraeli assistance to DSA forces seeking to occupy and subjugate our nation, a Declaration of War has been issued by the Confederate States of Sovereign Dixie, and shall be in effect until the Xyraeli government recognises our claim to self sovereignty and our government.


 The Enterprise and Endevour carrier battle groups headed north towards New Yorkshire.

 In the west, the ballistic missile sub Louisiana began making it's way north as well, escorted by the carrier Reciprocity.

 From Iron City Tennessee, General Pershing's army, now 800,000 strong, swarmed into Virginia, heading towards Columbia, the capital of the Democratic States of America.

General Brock looked over the Confederate declaration of war against Xyrael. He thought to himself. What to do? What to do? I don't have the authority to declare war on Xyrael right now. Canadian Generals Worthington and Riel and Grand Admiral Trudeau as well as the other two Confederate counterparts, Generals Stuart and Alexander sat and listened. Brock looked at a map of the DSA and CSSD. "Alright, gentlemen, we have a problem. We have vast amounts of soldiers coming in every day and that's great. But we have a problem. What are we going to do about the declaration of war by the Confederate States of Sovereign Dixie on the State of Xyrael? Our Confederate friends here will agree on a declaration of the Canada-Quebecois Empire on the State of Xyrael if we decide. But first I need to know a few things. Grand Admiral, what is our naval capacity?"

"We control the entire west coast of this continent. Yesterday, the High Seas Fleet was joined by elements of the Myrorian Navy. The Third and First Fleets are also here to bolster our power. As far as I know, two more Myrorian fleets are arriving any day to help hunt down the remaining squadrons of the DS Navy. The loss of San Fransisco was the killing blow to the DS Pacific Fleet."

Brock nodded. "Good, Generals. What about our land forces?"

Worthington started. "I have moved half my force and the Confederate army into Deseret to free the Mormons there. Jeb Stuart is leading them. The rest of the First Tank Army and the Nevada State Militia is on the border of Nevada along with the First Quebecois Army. We are more than prepared."

Brock breathed in relief. "I don't know about you gentlemen, but I will not send in a Canadian declaration of war until I talk to the Confederate President. Perhaps I can deter him from this. He must know that we can't hold off the DSA and Xyrael at the same time. We need to talk about this first. Perhaps, the Xyrael State will stand down from the War of Secission if they know that we are not going to occupy the northern states that we have invaded."

The Confederate generals didn't look happy but they also knew that here on the Western front, General Brock was the Supreme Commander over the PI armies in the region.

I wish to have an audience with you on your recent declaration of war. Perhaps we can discuss it in further detail and perhaps have a Xyrael delegate there to be present. They need to know that we will return the states that we currently occupy.

                      President Anderson,
     Because of your recent actions and aggressions towards the state of Xyrael, the Res'shev and I both decided that the Sanct'zhizi Demporav dev Sanct Ozia will now declare war on the state of Sovereign Dixie to defend our Eastian allies and commerce with Xyrael. If you so choose to lift your aggressive stance on the state of Xyrael, then I will lift my retaliation on Sovereign Dixie. Our time of La'aze has come against the Southern Imperialists.

your political power will be devastated as people vote against you, and
should you retract their right to vote you will instead gain rioters. We

The General was in a limo towards the Confederate White House in Richmond. His plane had landed only an hour ago, and he was already nervous. If this failed then war would be sparked. A pointless war. He held a telegram he got only a few moments before landing. He picked up his phone. "Get me General Worthington in Oakland...Thank you...General Worthington, this is General Brock...Yes...President Anderson has asked me to pull all PI forces out of San Fransisco...Yes...I'm not sure about the medical teams...I would advise to keep them there for the civilians...Yes, I'm pulling up into the President's driveway right now...Yes...You are in command until I return...Yes...In a few days I believe...Alright, goodbye, General." The driver opened the door of the limo. General Brock came out in his dress uniform and ceremonial saber. He thanked the driver and was escorted up the stairs to the White House. An agent asked for his sword. "What?! No, I will not hand over my sword. I am the commander of the western front, you really think I'm going to gut the president." The agent backed off. (ooc: after the canadian peace summit, high rankinbg officers are touchy about handing over their ceremonial weapons.) He walked into the President's office and there sat President Anderson. The general shook the president's hand. "It's nice to finally meet you. Perhaps we can start this because there is a front I need to get back to."

To those unaware, this war has been planned by Dixie and myself for some time now. Every other nation that has involved itself (Myroria, Xyrael, Canada, Oz) has only done so after contacting either myself or Dixie. To preserve the intended nature of this thread, involvement can only be obtained through Dixie, Inglo-Scotia, or the DSA.
This has been the Voice of Fate, have a great day.

 The ballistic missile sub Louisiana launched her missile at 1am Western Daylight Time. The 5kt warhead exploded over the harbour area of San Fancisco, an atomic fireball rose into the air as all within a ten mile radius was incenerated, the shockwave destroying nearly everything it touched for another fifteen miles.

 

 Moments later, Anderson released the following statement.

Quote

 Moments ago, on orders of the President, an attack on the DSA naval port in San Francisco was launched, utilising a low yield tactical nuclear device. This has been done with the aim of ending this conflict and to prevent futher loss of Confederate lives. General Pershing is en route to Columbia with his army to force a surrender of all DSA forces and to secure Dixie's independence.



OOC: LIA, identify yourself, DSA/IS was not contacted about this, I refuse to recognise your attack.

The State of Xyrael fully recognizes that the time of diplomacy
with the Democratic States has passd. The State wishes to
notify Sovereign Dixie that it is now withdrawing all support from
the DSA and wishes to sue for peace.

The State of Xyrael must express it's alarm at the use of nuclear
weaponry against fellow Americans. You have killed citizens of a
country you were formerly a part of, brothers and sisters colonists
from your own South. This fratricide is frightening, the willingness
to spill the blood of people who are of the same flesh as you worries
Xyrael. The notion that a Xyraelite would exterminate fellow
Xyraelites when their homes have already been taken by the military.
The Southern states allies had taken San Francisco, the innocent
blood spilled their was peaceful, under the sacred white flag of
surrender, and yet you would not hesitate to use nuclear force. This
act is shameful. The State of Xyrael will not recognize a cruel and
sadistic psuedo-nation such as Sovereign Dixie so long as she wishes
to exercise the use of extreme and unnecessary force to win her wars.
The State means no ill-will to the Southern people, but it will not assist
Sovereign Dixie in any way until they have redeemed themselves. The
Californian people are not the DSA President and should not have been
treated as such.

 We accept your offer of peace, and revoke our declaration of war against your nation. The use of nuclear weapons was employed that Fremont and the world may realise that Southerners are no longer going to be the brunt of jokes made in sneering jest by our "countrymen". Fratricide was began as the practice of the DSA since the onset of Fremont's war of genocide against our rightfully sovereign nation. Do not presume to lecture us on morality. The Confederacy has nothing to redeem itself from, and should our nation be in such peril in the future, we shall not hesitate to use every means at our disposal, that our people may be free from tyranny.
