Operation Rickover

[Baltija]

To: Validus
From: Baltija

We condemn your attack on Gallipoli-China. Your unprovoked aggresion will not be tolerated.

Pashka, Leader of Baltija

[Zimmerwald]

No truly neutral territory could be found, so Feng had offered to have the meeting in the camp of SEAT, whatever that was.  Hopefully, that would help to diffuse the situation.  If it didn't, well, he had faced personal risk before.

[Validus]

"How about we meet on the street," yelled the Captian Young. "You control the city, and there is only a section of us."

To: Nations of Taijitu
From: President Malcolm, Validus

As you all know, we have invaded the sovereign lands of Gallipoli-China. We did this to prevent civil striff from crossing into our nation. We are not conquring their lands, nor are we marching to their capitol. We are just holding a 100km buffer zone along our boarder.

Thank you,

President Malcolm

President Malcolm,

If you are just trying to "prevent civil strife" from "crossing into your lands", then you can deal with any that does come in your own nation, instead of interfering in another country's civil war. Even if any strife came into your lands, then you can perfectly deal with it yourself.

If they want the street, that's all to the good.  "The street will be fine," said Feng, motioning to the searchlight operators to turn the lights slightly away from the SEAT operatives.  He ran down the stairs as fast as he could, stopping long enough to grab a pistol from a counter and jam it in his pocket.

He stepped out of the door.  "Now, let's get this started.  I have a question for you; what interest does Validus have in these lands?"

[Validus]

Captian Young got up from behind the car and slowely walked over to him, "None, we are just interested in keeping this war out of our lands." He looked down at a watch on his wrist, "Ok listen up. I was sent here to make contact with the 'People'. Tell me why we should help you,"

~Thanato

[Zimmerwald]

"You've heard that our Government won't let ships pass through one of the canal's you're building?  We wouldn't presume to be so arrogant.  If you helped us, you'd gain a powerful ally and trading partner once we finally seize power.  We know who our friends are, and if you help us, we'd be eternally grateful.  Furthermore, helping us won't be that hard.  Just keep this area clear of Fascist troops, allow us to take refuge in this area should the Fascists find out where we are, and funnel supplies to us."

[Validus]

"What bad has the government done to you. I am a military man, you understand I support the little guy. IF this government is oprressing the people then it is our duty to defend the people."

~Thanato

[Zimmerwald]

"They bombed and invaded an entire city and razed it to the ground!  There are only a few people left there keeping up some sort of resistance.  They tried to do the same here, but you arrived a couple of weeks too late to see it.  Our political party is banned, as are the trade unions, and rumors are that the Liberal Party and the Democrat Party are going to go next."

[Validus]

"I saw photos, hmm, do the people support you? If the people support this uprising then ti will be alot easier for us to help."

~Thanato

[Zimmerwald]

Feng spread his arms wide.  "This city is under the People's control.  My comrades are inciting the north.  It won't be long before the whole of China resembles Macao."

[Validus]

"How many people are in this uprising, our estimate put it at 34% of your population, are these correct?"

~Thanato

[Zimmerwald]

"Chinese or total?  The police and the army have been concentrating their main efforts in Gallipoli, in the islands.  The mainlande remains...relatively free.  I don't suppose they think that the peasants they've crushed for hundreds of years could put up much resistance.

"To answer your quesiton, there are very few Gallipoli, whether High or Low, who support us.  Corfu was one of our few strongholds there, and Luleburgaz has been cowed into submission.  I'd estimate that about 60% of the Chinese we've managed to contact support us, which would translate to about 32% nationally."

[Validus]

"I am sorry, but unless there is something major happening we can not get involved in the civil conflict. We will hold a line that will end at this city. I'm sorry but we can not."

"General! Scouts reporting troup movement in about 20km distance. They´re neither Gallipolli-Chinesian nor some of it´s allies. What shall we do?"
May Clearwater reported to her General.

General Siria nodded.
"Hmm...we already missed the capital. And we were ordered to fight for the Gallipolli-China government." she said slowly. "So, inform the officers where changing our direction again. We´ll fight them."

OOC: My troops are...um...left in G-C and don´t know the way to the capital. They won´t strike unless anyone opens fire at them or they get order to do.
