      MOSCOW GAZETTE
      Russia mobilizes!


      For the Prince, for the Army, for Mother Russia! The words are shouted out by the fresh unit of Grenadier cadets recently examinated from the Moscowian Military Institute. They may see real combat very quickly as the Ottoman buildup upon the border of Mother Russia's west front continues. The Military institute has been running at maximum capacity resulting in a record number of soldiers trained in the last 5 years. The loss of the Moscow University through terrorist bombings has caused trouble in training new battalions in the usual non-military subjects such as language, philosophy and state science, though other training will continue as normal according to the Institute. A shift in focus from Grenadier training to training of Cannon crews has been indicated. The resulting surge of demand for Steel from the Military Institute has overwhelmed the capacities of the forge and created a shortage for any non-military purpose. The Industrial Ministry has looked into ways of increasing production for the new material which will undoubtedly be a central part of both military and civilian technology in the future. No Ottoman troops have yet dared to enter Russia Major.


      Fighting continues on Izhirbayzan.
      A Russian expeditionary force has conducted a daring strike upon the city of Izhir, also known by the name Izmir. The Royal Navy, led by Admiral Lakovich in command of the NKV Tolstoj, has landed troops directly into combat with city defenders, resulting in victory for the expeditionary forces. Once again superior Russian training and tactics enable amphibious assaults to Ottomania's detriment. Izhir is once again in Russian hands. While retaking the city, a large number of refueling Ottoman Airships were destroyed before they could take off. Parts of the debris has been sent home to Russia for further study. Meanwhile the main Ottoman expeditionary force continues to march south towards Bayzan. Russian troops report having destroyed enemy cannon in a courageous assault. Ottoman troops on Izhirbayzan are now cut off from supply lines and will find a difficult time in securing the island. Russian arms seem ready to grasp victory once more!

      Glory to the Mother land! Strength through hardship, glory through courage!

          this is a story about Persia



          The Trial against Oroetes Pt 3

          When I look into the mirror, I see a proud man who has accomplished his goals and lead the Medians and Persians into a glorious future. And despite the fact that you are most probably going to ruin this future, It makes me feel good that the demise of Persia is not because of my work, but despite of it.

          Oroetes of Pasagarde,

          You have handled the Persian Empire as a personal toy. You have abused us, destructed us, and ruined the lives of many. And not only did you destroy more then any human can ever dream about to build up, you also do not show any regrets.

          All you know is how to use force.
          How to handle force.
          How to push things your way through force.
          Force is your tool and your weapon.
          Force is your first name and your last name.
          Force is your kind of diplomacy.
          You love nothing more then force.

          But Oroetes, you must know;
          Force is always beside the point when subtlety will serve

          Oroetes of Pasagarde,

          In the name of the people of Persia,
          In the name of justice,
          In the name of the authority given to me, I sentence you to the penalty of death, to be executed immediately.

          Darius orders the execution of Oroetes
          The end of of the Stewardship

          Oroetes then raised his voice! "By Beli'Az by Beli'Az, I am ruling under the authority of Guru Beli'Az! Beli'Az awake and save Media and Persia from the King of Weakness!"

          Suddenly a loud noise was heard, the sealed doors of the room of Beli'Az was breached. A gigantic man literally walked through the door. A firm look in his eyes, standfast and full of authority.

          Everybody was in shock.
          Then the gigantic figure walked towards King Darius and grabbed him by his throat. "You don't have the right to replace the Steward who's ruling under my authority!"
          Darius was choked to death.

          People dropped to the floor, worshipping Beli'Az.
          He raised his voice: "Today, people of Media and Persia, your Guru has returned!"
          Oroetes was grinning from ear to ear.
          Beli'Az continued with power in his voice: "All who want to challenge my leadership, challenge it now"

          Nobody dared to step forward.
          People were in awe.

          "People of Media and Persia, this King of Weakness almost destructed the Empire of Media and Persia! He was not able to do this unsupported!"
          Quickly the Guru looked at Oroetes.
          Oroetes nodded.

          "This King of Weakness was supported by the Indians! His armies were trained in the Indian woods! We cannot tolerate these Indian attempts to influence our government or our great Empire!

          As Hastog has teached me for over 350 years, the weak must be smashed aside when they are standing in our path.
          The Indians are weak and they placed themselves in our way. We will therefore have no other option but to remove them!

          To WAR with India! To War! Death to the Queen of Terror!"

          The transformation of the Persian empire back into a Hastogianistic nation was swift. The people were in awe of Beli'Az. A guru they had only heard about from tales from the past.

          This Beli'Az was exactly as they had read in the books from Farza and Oroetes. A strong leader, a man with a firm opinion. No doubts, a true leader.
          This man was exactly like the Beli'Az they were told about by their parents.
          This Beli'Az was no myth! He was alive and ready to lead the Medians and the Persians into a glorious future.

          Oroetes was right! The parents were willing to sacrifice their babies for this Guru!
          And so the stewardship of Oroetes ended and Media and Persia was once again lead by a Guru.

            Taoists though out Persia fled in fear across the borders. Hastoginism had returned and the free religion under King Darius was no more. Thousands of Taoists led by Korean missionariies feld the flood of revivla in Persia. Fleeing across the borders to Russia and Orb. Crying our for help as they crossed the borders into the war torn coutnries of the West.

            Korea pledged to send merchant ships to bring these Taoists home

                this is a story about Media and Persia




                The Median and Persian fleet sinks an Indian destroyer


                Persian infantry crosses the Indian border at many places.
                The Invasion starts

                The armies, inspired by the return of Guru Beli'Az, immediately secured strategical positions against India after the declaration of war. Persian destroyers secured various invasion fleets. The armies crossed the borders at already three places immediately, 2 more fleets were ready to hit the Indians at unexpected places.

                The biggest army was able to move into India quickly after a new railroad had been finished over the length of many many kilometers in one turn. The invention of Railroads boosted the production capacity, which was already one of the highest of the world. Because of the golden age that continued to flourish thanks to the inspiration from Beli'Az, Persia was now discovering new technologies every 2 or 3 turns. Combined with the new universities and academies, founded by many great people in the past few years.

                Guru Beli'Az ordered to refrain from destroying civilian structures and fishing ships, even while one of the Indian fishing ships passed an Indian destroyer closely. "We are bold, but we are not evil" Beli'Az commented.

                  The cradle of Tao is in danger!

                  India calls upon all her allies ((right now only those who are in the so called "top 6")) to rally and protect Her!

                  We especially counting on Korea, the resident leader of the Tao community to send its troops against the evil, treacherous Hastogianists.

                    Sha'Tao Citadel, Delphi




                    High Priest Zulkash: And so it begins.. just as I have foreseen it..

                    High Priest Kordush: The New Indian Governor is requesting our help. He reports a massive hastogianists army marching towards the capital, it consists of at least 20 infantires and 10 cannons. There are also reports of several smaller raiding parties landing near our cities.









                    High Priest Ashoka:I've always said that Darius is weak.. nevertheless He did a great favor for us.. even if it's a bit too convenient that our supposed friend left his army in perfect striking distance from our cities.
                    I'm ready to rally our army and protect the Islands.. if that is what we want.. but I have a feeling that it is not the plan




                    High Priest Zulkash: We won't leave the towers undefended, that's what they want. Just instruct the governor to do everything to slow the persians down. No sacrifice is too big, don't let them being captured-burn everything what they can not defend. Tell him that do what his God wishes and his family will be safe in Delphi..

                      The Byzantine observers on the Turkish-Russian border, continued to file their reports for Basil. As of yet, there was no word about intervention.

                        Battle report from the Indian intelligence:


                        The first wave of the Persian attack forces consist of 30 infantires and 19 cannons deployed next to 3 cities. The full new Indian army less than half of these force most of them concentrated in the capital.

                        Indians estimate that they won't be able to prevent losing 4 cities far from the capital. Whether they can hold the capital or not will decide the fate of the rest of the cities.

                        As first act of the war the Indians launched a counter attack and captured a small Perisan city where they managed to destroy the previosly damaged persian destroyer. An other destroyer was lost by the persians in the following battle.

                          Prince Igor in Egypt


                          Arriving in the lands of the east, the Prince encountered concerning news. The sea voyage from west to east had taken great time and though several resupply stops had been made, the faraway northern cities of the Byzantine empire were not concerned greatly with recent events in the west. As Prince Igor stepped off the ship in Friendship City he was met by the Russian ambassador to Egypt. The news of war between Russia and the Ottomans caused a devious smile to cross the Prince's face. If the dogs wanted another beating, Prince Igor was confident that his many Generals would be able to administer it. He continued his journey to Alexandria to meet the Egyptian Princess.

                          Many sights impressed the Prince, especially the rich river floodlands that covered all of Egypt. The Egyptian mainland was truly opulent, yet similar to Russia in size. Hastog's doom, he muttered, referring to the ancient superstition that the people of Russia had been cursed since the beginning of time, to live in harsh lands with foul neighbours and be forced forever to fight to survive. The news of war with Ottoman seemed to fit all too well into that superstition. A quick calculation of river size and distribution gave Prince Igor the startling realization that Egypt's rivers alone would create at least 40,000 gold coins annually in rivertransport taxes, compared to Russia's lone river Volga that awarded a mere 11,000 per year. The Prince cursed Hastog again.

                          Arriving at the Royal Palace in Alexandria, the Prince was met by a cohort of royal servants who treated him with proper reverence. The Egyptian monarchy was clearly an institution with age-long traditions and well-trained servants.

                            Prince Igor leaves Egypt


                            The following day, the Prince was met by the Prime Eunuch and told that the Princess would likely be unavailable for some time. Igor was not pleased with this news, he had travelled for months only to find his nation back home to be at war and an unreceptive host in his current position. A thought crossed his mind that the Ottomans had perhaps engineered this meeting to get him away from his people at a crucial moment. He dismissed the notion, there was no reason for Egypt to so, in fact, he had himself chosen to come here. But to not be received was not to his liking. He decided to update himself on the war. Byzantine state newspapers were readily available and covered the war in some detail. Prince Igor read about the loss of Izhir and its reconquest. As the evening neared the Prince decided to get a hold of the Evening News, a decent publication by all accounts and was stunned when he saw the front page.

                            Originally posted by Evening News

                            The Prince stood baffled, reading and re-reading the headline. It seemed that while he had been enroute, the Byzantine regent had been most active. Angrily turning to page 6 for the important news, about the war, the Prince was once again stunned.

                            According to Russian sources, the NKV Victory was sunk by an Ottoman ship described by the Russian Admiralty as a Destroyer Class vessel, clearly not of Ottoman manufacture.

                            Prince Igor stared in shock. The picture taken by Byzantine war reporters was stunning. A fleet of Ottoman warships led by a metal hulk clearly far beyond anything the Turks could be able of creating. The ship was armed with huge guns far advanced beyond the simple ship cannons of Ottoman technology, which were normally not even Steel-forged. Despite its clear superiority, a tinge of pride grew in the Prince's heart as he saw that nearly a third of the ship had taken considerable damage and had a slight tilt to the port side. The NKV Victory had put up a gallant fight.

                            The Prince folded together his newspaper and announced to the Egyptian newsstand proprietor: I must return home!

                              Brigadier-General Volukovich arrived at the main defensive force stationed in the Sevastopol hills. His fame and popularity easily allowed him to take command of a majority of the troops, as noone dared doubt his claim that he had been sent by the Prince himself to oversee defences. The Ottoman had begun to move an army towards Igorograd. The General surveyed the maps.

                              Later that evening, the General gathered his officers and fronted the new war strategy. The passive role of awaiting assault was unacceptable. The war must be brought onto enemy territory. The Russian army began to march. Reconnaissance units burst into Ottoman territory with the grand army following closely. Calculating distances and troop strengths, the General ordered the greatest invasion by Russian troops since the battle of Hastograd.

                                Immediately after the Persian invasion of New India, Indian soldiers made an amphibious attack on Nieu Bretagne and occupied it successfully with a small force.

                                The Persian main army marched next to the New Indian Capital "Hyderabad" and was able to secure a strategical position in the hills, ready to assault the city which will most probably fall. A large defending army and a couple of Indian air fighters is stationed in the city.

                                Persian troops also landed next to the Indian cities of Madras and Prayaga and were able to occupy it without much resistance. The south-eastern part of New India is now almost under Persian control
