The Downfall of the Kingdom

[Bustos]

The OOC thread exists for a reason.

[Jelsi]

The Force Recon Companies received news from their headquarters that there was another larger and more powerful nation moving it's forces.  The marines had recently been involved in numerous gun fights resulting in at least 30 of their men injured.  Before long, the men packed up their supplies, and boarded the C-5 airplanes that had arrived at a nearby open flat field.  Once boarded, the planes took off and returned to Jelsi.

A small but, detailed report of a foreign combat unit had engaged in some fighting with the local rebels made it to Colonel Trice's desk.  The report sparked further inquiries, even though the foreign combat unit was said to have pulled out of the former Islas Filipinas.

[Jelsi]

The targets discovered by the Marine Special Operations units were brought to the attention of the Air Force.  Before long, four F-18 Hornets flew towards the land once known as Supremo.  Each was given a target, consisting of two terrorist training camps, one warlord headquarters and one weapons cache.  Each one was destroyed with a laser guided bomb fired from each F-18 Hornet.  It was confirmed that each target was taken out, with extra bombs dropped on the terrorist training camps and the warlord headquarters, with approximately 200-250 rebels killed from the air strike.  With that, the F-18s then returned to their headquarters in Jelsi.

-Palermu, Jelsi-

The Prime Minister finished her meeting with the Attorney General when she called the top members of the Military to her office.  Everyone knew that she was planning on rapidly building the country's military forces.  As the men came and took a seat she began to discuss her plans. 

"Alright gentlemen, I have plans to stake out extra land for our country, and also keep the peace in Supremo." said the Prime Minister.  The meeting continued for quite sometime, and after the meeting ended, the General of the Marine Corps called up the 1st and 3rd Expeditionary Force, and the General of the Army called up the Army's 2nd Armored Division. 

-Two weeks later-

The 1st and 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force arrived along the coast of Supremo, near the location their Special Forces had already operated.  Previous to their landing, Force Recon was called up and performed numerous reconnaissance operations around the area, making sure that the area was clear of any rebels.  Before long, the  Jelsi Military Headquarters were setup with the Armored Division in place as well.

Lt. General Angelizzi was heading up the operation with Lt. Colonel Sindone of the Army's armored division under his control.  Angelizzi had received notification before his departure from Jelsi that the Allied States had a presence in the country.  He decided to notify them, and sent them a message via e-mail.

To whom it may concern,

Let it be known that the Jelsi Military has forces occupying the southern portion of the nation of Supremo, in an attempt to restore order and conduct peace keeping operations.  We ask that you not be hostile towards our soldiers.

Lt. Gen. Angelizzi

[Mercantilist States]

President Anthony Washington sat at his desk reviewing the recent intelligence reports on the situation in Supremo. It seemed that country had descended into near anarchy; a continental matter as far as he was concerned.

"Margerie, can you tell the war staff I want to meet with them."

He then pressed a button on his phone to intercom Ambassador Jackson's office.

"Bill, come in here, I got an idea."

A minute later Ambassador William Jackson entered through a side door.

Washington handed him the intelligence packet with the page turned to a map of Supremo's colony where he had marked on it:

[Mercantilist States]

Anthony Washington and William Jackson entered the war room and Washington motioned the War Staff to sit as he took his place at the head of the table.

"Gentleman, what do you have for me?" Washington asked in his usual assertive tone.

"The military base in the Ginto Province has been abandoned since Islas Filipinas fell into disarray. The troops stationed there have either deserted or been recalled to their homeland," Admiral Johnson responded.

"What of the native peoples?"

"Much of the native populations were wiped out warring with the Filipino troops. The ones left are the ones who finally gave up and retreated to what areas they still control."

"How's our battle readiness?"

"The 1st and 4th fleets are forward-deployed at Ft. Tenokee and Ft. Chamblee, and the 1st and 2nd Subcorps are deployed in the North Merchant Sea. They can be at the territories in a matter of weeks."

Washington contemplated as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Finally he spoke.

"They're island people too. Send the 1st and 4th fleets, flanked by the 1st Subcorps, and let's protect the peninsula and archipelago. Can we garrison the Islas Filipinas base?"

"We'll see what we can do," the Admiral responded.

Washington nodded and he rose to leave.

"Thank you gentlemen."

[Bustos]

Colonel Trice transmitted his area of control to the RoJ Marine Corps on a public channel.


Yellow is the Allied States claim, which is a large plain covered with animal farms and sporadic cities.
Black square is the location of the naval/airforce base, Islas Filipinas Base.

The Allied States, in junction with Supremo's support, in an effort to help protect innocent civilians of our once beloved protectorate lays claim of the Southern Plains of Islas Filipinas.  Respect our claim and no harm will befall your soldiers.  We are here for peacekeeping, stability, and humanitarian purposes.  Can we be of assistance?

[Jelsi]

After receiving information on the location of Bustos forces, the Lt. General responded by sending a map showing the territory of RoJ Military forces and the territory which they occupied.  With 19,000 troops on the ground, the Military was in the process of calling up at least two Army infantry divisions to bring the area under total control. 


(This shows the Republic of Jelsi territory in comparison to Bustos, the black circle marks the headquarters of the Army/Marines)

The 1st Naval Fleet of the RoJ Navy arrived off of the coast of Supremo, near the Army/Marines headquarters.

[High Evermore]

The radio hissed at the Air Traffic control station within the Bustian Islas-Filipinas base. "..This is HEA Andross and HEA Namren reporting in. Requesting permission to land at Station Islas-Filipinas! Over."

The radio hissed, and off in the distance, two HE-101 airships floated on the horizon. Inside of each HE101 stood about 20 men, and 1 APC, armed with 13 men. "I repeat, this is the HEA Andross and HEA Namren signaling for landing. Attached are 40 Army Regulars and 2 squads of Temple Knights. We are here on peace-keeping operations under the authority of Regent Aelister Magreda with orders to aid Bustian Troops and protect civilians from the land of Supremo. Repeat, Requesting permission to land." The radio silenced in wait for the Bustian command.

[Bustos]

"Colonel, Evermorians are requesting to land here."

"Evermorians?"  The Colonel gave a puzzled look.  "Did they use an authorized frequencey or give proper identification?"

"No, sir.  Just said they are bringing troops to support our peacekeeping operations."

"Oh right.  Peacekeeping.  Yes, of course."  Peacekeeping, right.  Thats what we're calling this.  "Well then by all means, as friends of the Allied States, allow them to land.  And bring their senior officals to my office."

"Yes, sir."

The area of under the protection of the Allied States in Islas Filipinas was becoming labeled as the South Plains under Operation Red Meat.  As agreed, secretly, rebels north of the South Plains border were being supplied with small arms, munitions, medical aid, and food.  With the aligned rebels north of the border, they created a buffer zone between the South Plains and the rest of the nation.

Within the South Plains, as per Bustian military procedures for occupation and assimilation, food and aid centers were being erected to support the civilian populace.  Bustian motorized patrols to combat crime, particularly around the farms, were becoming an increasingly common sight.  Additional Bustian soldiers and the 3rd Allied Fleet were enroute to support Operation Red Meat.

[Jelsi]

The Lt. General had gotten together with his men, and sent in a Force Recon Company into the city of Mojave, which was located west of their current location.  The 100 Marines parachuted into a small field that was surrounded by a wooded area separating the marines by 1.5 kilometers from the city.  The men were armed with SOPMOD M4 Carbines, with sound suppressors and  4 x day scopes attached, the men would make their way into the city, in squads of 10.  Once spread amongst the city, the Marines were able to survey the militants in the streets, estimating that there were approximately 4,000 - 5,000 militants in and around the city.  There were 25-30 anti aircraft devices spotted around the city.  Their locations were documented and delivered back to headquarters.  Reluctantly, the city had no sky scrapers thus preventing the Marines from facing targets from extremely high altitudes. 

With the locations of the anti aircraft in sight, the RoJ Navy ordered the 3 Destroyers and 2 in the sea, to fire guided missiles on the targets during the night and the next days.  Once the anti aircraft units were taken down, the air strikes would take place, with the Force Recon team still operating in the city.

During these operations, the 2 Marine Expeditionary Forces continued to train, hydrate, train some more and hydrate some more.  They stayed at a constant alert.  The 1st MEF and the 1st Army Division prepared for their attack on the city of Mojave which would be taking place within the next week if not days, depending on the accuracy of the air campaign.  With that, Operation Pax Supremo was under way.

(OOC: Just so you know who walked into your office)

"Roger!" The radio hisses out as the two HE101 airships come into missile range of the base. The two ships slow down as they approach the runway, and the both seem to be coming in within about three meters of one another. They slowdown midair as their rotary pivots hiss, and move upright, then much like a helicopter, both ships sail vertically to the ground amid the airstrips. As the ships hit the ground, the back-door's of the plane open up, creating ramps onto the ground. One APC drives out of each, driving up towards the center of the complex. The first one stops and opens up, Pouring out soldiers in Crimson attire. Totally choreographed, the first soldier hops out with a machine-gun in hand, and points in all directions, shouting the following: "Adorior!" and nine other men stomp out, this time the driver and gunner staying in the vehicle. The soldiers form up in a line, and the second vehicle drives up towards the air-tower, pouring out the soldiers in a similar fashion, lining up before the complexes door. A man covered in crimson steel armor steps out of the vehicles gunner seat, standing before the line of soldiers. "Is this the place that I find the commander?" he questioned his troops. "Someone find me a Bustian!" He barked as he leaned up against the vehicle. Meanwhile, forty soldiers wearing white caps filed out of the HE-101 airships, forming a line behind them. The HE101's lifted off and flew a few meters off to the side, settling down it an unoccupied area to dock.

The centurion in his crimson mail walked forward towards the Bustian soldier, "Salve! I request a meeting with the leader of this base. Have me brought to him, please. Thank you." He stood in wait, glancing at the soldier in wait.

[Bustos]

Colonel Trice heard clanking sounds coming down the hall.  What the hell is making all that noise?  But before he could get up from his desk to take a peek outside, a Sergeant knocked on his door.  "Come in."

"Colonel, this is the leader of the peacekeeping unit from High Evermore."

The Evermorian leader's entrance into his office answered his earlier question as his armor clanked against their own steel plates whenever the Evermorain moved.

Are they serious?  The colonel got up from his chair.  "Welcome to the South Plains.  I am Colonel Trice, commander of South Plains Base.  We have renamed our base to remove association with the former government."  The colonel extended his hand across the desk.

Modernization projects were underway at the animal farms of the South Plains.  It would be an easy, but huge task, as the previous government kept their farms up to date but,  in the midsts of rebellion, many pieces of agricultural machinery were looted.

Reconstruction projects of local infrastructure using hired local labor, one method being implemented to feed a Bustian economy into the South Plains, were currently underway.  Corporations having learned and profitted from The Great Tribe, were eager to invest in the South Plains, a potential colony of the Allied States.
