The Cree Civil War

[Aquatoria]

To: Gallipoli-Chinese State
From Emperor Paul I

I am warning you. I will impound your ships, but if you do have soldiers in my country, I cannot guarantee their safety and they will be treated as mercenaries and members of the Red Liberation Front. Understood?

Failure at Saskatoon
The Cree Civil War Going Bad For The Emperor
The Imperial Army of the Cree Tribes has been swept away from the city of Saskatoon by the soldiers of the Red Liberation Front. The lose at Saskatoon has pushed the Imperial Army across the central plains to the industrial city of Kerak. Kerak is an important center of the Confederacy of the Cree Tribes. A majority of the nation's tanks, planes, and other military weapons are made there. Emperor Paul I had issued an order to all his citizens and soldiers. "At Kerak, we will make our stand. Not one step backward. We will turn every block, every street, and every house into an impregnable fortress. Rise up, peoples of the Confederacy." The Red Liberation Front is now moving towards the city of Kerak. In respnse, Emperor Paul I has donned a military uniform and is now leading men to prepare the city for its defense. He had this to say. "I am a citizen of the Confederacy. I wouldn't be doing my duty if I sat back and let others fight for me. Besides, the people dont serve me, I serve the people."
 
The Red Liberation Front has sent an army south to the port city of Anchorage, the home base of the High Seas Fleet. But they were stopped by fighters, fire from the ships and a strong resistance force. Anchorage is the only city in eastern Cree that still is under the Emperor's control.

The squadrons had crossed the Delfian airspace without too much trouble, and were passing over Red-controlled North Canada.  Newly "liberated" Saskatoon, with its airport severely damaged, had directed them to land at Winnipeg.

To: Prime Minister Incent, Validus
From: Emperor Paul I

If the soldiers of Gallipoli-China cross into my border, I cannot guarntee their safety. If they want to involve themselves inthis war, then so be it. I will trat them as enemies of my country. Already, there are Gallipoli-Chinese forces in my country. They have already invaded my country. I will not stand by and let Gallipoli-Chinese forces arrive in my country and kill my people. They have invaded my country, so they must treated as my enemies.

Siege of Anchorage: Day 14

The city of Anchorage was holding strong. The city was able to store its food and even plant vegetables and fruit in the many gardens and parks across the city. The civilians were armed and ready to defend the city. Around the city were five rows of trenches for the infantry to use. In the harbor, the High Seas Fleet had wieghed anchor and were steaming just outside of the city. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier Valley Forge was just releasing his planes for another raid on the Liberation Front. They were joined by fighters from the hidden airbases. Corporal Tom Richards was lying in his trench. His Polish-style AK was fully loaded. His khaki-colored greatcoat was covered in mud. All around him, members of the Imperial Army and the Territorial Reserve were ready for the next wave of communist soldiers.

Then it came. A whistle was heard and from across the battlefield, Tom could see hundreds of communist soldiers charge at the trenches. He fired his weapon and cut down three communists. Take that! he yelled. The communist wave was being cut down by machine gun and rifle fire. Then from behind the communist line, a squadron of Hind attack copters sped for the Imperial line. They fired their missiles and gatling guns. The blasts and bullets killed many Imeprial soldiers. But just as Tom thought his time had come, missiles flew from the city at the copters. Many copters were destroyed as the anti-air defenses fired away. Tanks arrived to reinforce the communist infantry. As they made their way for the Imperials, Tom saw a radioman call in an artillery attack. Missiles from the Kirov-class battlecruisers and shells from the howitzers in the city tore the battlefield apart. Tanks became smouldering piles of metal, infantry were blown to bits and the survivors fled back to their lines. Today was a good day. Day 14 was won.

From: Ambassador of New Delfos, Yuri Papavish
To: Feng Hu, Defense Committee Chairman

The New Delfos Supreme Council contacted me a few hours ago showing great concern about the loss of innocent people, and we ask for a joint force to keep the peace wherever it is. We are also concerned about those people that feel oppressed, and now assaulted, by the imperialists, all we ask is to contain the situation and hold both sides until we can resolve this with diplomacy. Whether or not G-China accepts the joint force we are sending 2 platoons, one from Mahara, another from South Boyen region to try to maintain the peace, and i promise there won't be any interference with your forces.
Thereby, we would like to receive the confirmation from youir government.

[Saletsia]

To: Feng Hu, Defense Committee Chairman
From: President Barga

Greeting comrades!
We have heard of your latest support of the communist front against the despot of the Confederacy of the Cree tribes. We would like to support you in this just struggle by sending the following:

50 MiG-35
5000 Saletsian soldiers + equipment

and in support of the communist front: (the following shall be turned over to the local Communist forces)
70 reactivated F-5T Tigris (fully armed) + Saletsian trainers
150 MBT 2000
20 mobile BrahMos units

[Zimmerwald]

To: President Barga

I suggest you wait until the Imperial Canadian fleet is neutralized to deliver your ground-based hardware.  This hardware will of necessity be transported by ship, and there is no guarantee that it will land on Canadian shores.  Landing it in New Delfos may take more time than is necessary.  My field commander, Comrade Erwin Vrotrith, assures me that the fleet at Anchorage will be neutralized soon, and that you will be able to land your hardware there.

Good luck,
Feng Hu, Defense Committee Chairman, Gallipoli-China

To: Ambassador of New Delfos, Yuri Papavish

As our forces are mainly air-based and concentrated in the southeast, while yours are land-based and concentrated in the northwest, I believe operations will be hard to coordinate.  However, on behalf of my government and people, I applaud your desire to protect civilian lives, and wish you luck with your operations.

Feng Hu, Defesne Committee Chairman, Gallipoli-China

Erwin surveyed the RLF position through binoculars a hundred yards back.  From Winnipeg, his forces had been directed to the makeshift airstrip that was servicing what passed for the RLF air squadron.  He would have laughed if several prominent RLF officers hadn't been standing to either side of him.  Human wave attacks, now really.  Putting away the binoculars, he assumed a grave expression and turned to the most senior officer.

"The problem as I see it is that the naval ships are pinning your forces down in the trenches, and making the Imperial line virtually impenetrable."  The officers nodded in agreement.  "Now, you have, until now, been unable to attack the naval ships.  Well, that's what I'm here for.  The J-10s are equipped for such an operation, and you've got about a hundred of them at your disposal.  Shall we launch a strike?"

Siege of Anchorage: Day 16
Admiral Dontiz stood on the bridge of his flagship, the Kirov battlecruiser Imperial Guardian. He had directed the High Seas Fleet to defend Anchorage at all costs. The fleet was awaiting another RLF human wave attack. Human wave attacks, really? But if I can hold this RLF army here, it gives the Emperor more time to prepare the people and Kerak for an attack. An ensign came up to him and saluted. Sir, we have enemy fighters coming in. They are targeting the fleet. Admiral Dontiz turned to radioman. Get our fighters in the air! I want the Valley Forge and the hidden airbases to sweep in and defend the fleet. Tell those idiots at the anti-air defense rings to open fire! The radioman nodded. In ten minutes those planes would be in the air. He hoped the anti-air defenses could hold off the planes.

General Xavier Rommel stood around his anti-air defenses. He had formed multiple rings of anti-aircraft weapons in the city, all within reach of the fleet. He looked on his radar. The enemy aircraft tried to make their way around the city, so they could avoid the anti-air missiles. They don't know As the fighters made their way for the fleet, the anti-air defenses opened up. Missiles and bullets flew at the aircraft. Many planes turned to evade, but some were hit. The planes moved in to attack the ships. A group of planes fired at a destroyer and sunk it. The ships fired back with their own missiles. Then the Imperial fighters arrived. The fighters charged headlong into the RLF fighters. The two sides mixed it up. But with the fire from the ships, the anti-air defenses, and Imperial fighters, the RLF air squadron was all but destroyed. The survivors fled back to the RLF lines

[Zimmerwald]

OOC: please don't RP your opponent's losses.  It's really bad etiquette.  I'd IGNORE it, but I have a proxy to pass this particular error on to

IC: Damn RLF can't even launch a strike correctly.  Glad none of my men were with that.  It would defeat the whole purpose of this exercise.

"Well, now that they've wasted some of their ammo, and now that my men know exactly what the Canadians will do, let's send them a second wave.  Incidentally, you might want some of your artillery to fire on the ships."  God, these people are unintelligent.  At least they managed to draw out the Imperial reserves.  Do they ever fucking talk?

The 88 J-10s were designed for air-to-air combat, not to bomb ships.  The J-10Bs were a different matter entirely, designed for such hard ground, or in this case sea, targets.  As such, the J-10s were launched first, their mission being to clear a space for the J-10Bs to make a run on the aircraft carrier.  This was easier said than done; there looked to be about 120 Imperial airplanes in total, though most were obsolete compared with the J-10s, and had been in the air for far longer.

The G-C squadron didn't make the mistake of the last strike.  The J-10Bs flew in low and fast, preventing the anti-air from aquiring a good target.  This, of course, made them sitting ducks for the fighters, but few of them were actually hit.  The J-10s above them were doing an excellent job of keeping the Imperial fighters off them, as was the spray of anti-aircraft fire that accumulated just above the J-10Bs.

They fired, and the big carrier was hit by two missiles, one near the waterline, the other hitting the island superstructure.  Immediately the squadron retreated, its mission done.  Casualties were light for both air forces, but the carrier was smoking in two places, though it didn't look as though the avgas had caught light.  Certainly it wouldn't be able to operate as efficently, and that might just give the boys on the ground a fair shot.

OOC: you decide how heavily the carrier's damaged.  And be fair about it.  No ship is completely uneffected by getting hit with two missiles.

[Aquatoria]

One I hate you that was low. Hitting my carrier like that. I be fair and i wont do that number thing.

Admiral Dontiz stared at the Valley Forge. The captain was personal friend. Now he was dead. The fighters flew back to their bases. The naval fighters would also have to make their way to the airbases. The carrier was luckily in shallow water with the rest of the fleet. She didn't sink, but she would be out of action for this part of the war. Boats went out to help the survivors. But this battle was far from over. He turned to his second in command. Time to bring the fleet back into the harbor. Call the Imperial Defense Fleet. Tell them they have the only operational carrier. Tell them that we have lost the Valley Forge.
