After much fighting and capturing of AL territory in the Carribean, Paul was
invited to a world summit to discuss the problem of the escalation of World
Wars.
It all started when the AL ordered a mere Aussie trireme be
destroyed.... WW1 started with one bullet..... in Sarajevo. The sinking of this
tri seemed to be of even greater proportions. Full scale world war was awaiting
us.
The World diplomat and chairperson, the leader of the Mali (Chris/Manatauh), otherwise known as a computer God, called a summit to discuss
this gigantically dangerous situation.
Others will post more, but here is
an edited record made for Paul (me/deity)

Well done
Pacific Pact friends and allies!
Well done World leaders!
Well
done the little countries who cleverly built up their nations for their people!
The meek shall inherit the Earth....
Peace be with you, until we next
meet on the fields of battle
Speaking of little nations building up
It should
be remembered Mali was 5th all the way around. But with the ending of this last
session, Mali is now 1st in Cities, 1st in Units, and member of the greatest
alliance on Earth.

PEACE PROCLAIMED
Prometheus City, NEW CHINA – Leaders
from all over the world at the behest of the Axis Powers met this week to
discuss peace proposals to the Pacific-Adriatic war. Peace was difficult to
achieve as the bad blood between the Old Pacific Pact (Mongols/Australians) and
the Adriatic Empire was amplified by Israel’s decision to dissolve its alliance
with the Adriatic League followed with an immediate declaration of war. It was
soon clear that Israel had joined the Pacific Pact and this brought about the
intervention of the Axis Alliance. The Mali who holds Honor above all thought
that Israel’s treason of the Adriatic Alliance was completely uncalled for and
therefore the Axis Alliance has dubbed Israel a rouge nation.
While most
of the conference is clouded in secrecy it is rumored that tempers were hot and
insults, claims and counter claims were hurled on each side. Finally the Mali
proposed what the powers thought as a fair peace settlement, much to the
Adriatic’s objections. Chinese analysts say that this treaty will leave the
Adriatic’s with a feeling of surrender that could be a danger to the future
peace.
THE CANADIAN PURCHASE
Karakourm, Mongolian Republic- In an
agreement with the Mongolian Republic today two major cities in the Mongolian
territory known as Canada were traded for three cities in Asia. Along with this
an undisclosed sum was paid to the Mongol Republic for all the territorial
rights to Canada except one city that will be used for trade purposes.
The Government has also announced that for the next few years’
government support for building projects will be reduced. When asked if this had
something to do with the Canadian Purchase the government said “No
Comment”
EDITORIAL:
WHERE TO LOOK
-Xin Yang
For years the
Pacific Pact has been a dear friend of the Chinese people. However it seems
times are changing as in recent years a shift in policy has caused the Chinese
government to ally with the new Axis Alliance. The Mali who founded this
alliance are joined by the Chinese and the Zulu Republic. Now we, the people,
have been told for years by the government that the Zulus are a good people and
this I can believe seeing as we have never had an argument with the Zulu
Republic. However the Chinese Empire was on the verge of war with the Mali when
we allied with them and while we were never told to hate the Mali, we as a
nation held them in suspicion and thought them one with the Adriatic’s whom kept
making our blood boil.
Then the government asked us to trust the Mali
for they are our new friends, well at first this sounded absurd and thought this
would never last. However I had the fortune to meet some Mali citizens in
Prometheus City during the peace conference. They are a good people who wish the
best for those to whom they are friends with and expressed deep sorrow about
ever being on the verge of war with the Chinese Empire. While I write most of
that off as diplomatic pleasantries I did get the impression that Honor meant a
lot to the Mali and that they would not betray Chinese interests.
So as
we approach the dawn of a new Millennium I welcome our growing friendship with
the Mali and ask the fair citizens of the Chinese Empire to be show patience and
see if this alliance is as beneficial for the Empire as the last. But remember
not to forget the friendships of the Pacific Pact and urge the government
continue to grow bonds with them.
"The western stockade has fallen sir... sir?" asked Vincenzo.
General
Garibaldi whiped the sweat from his brow and looked over the scene. The wooden
walls of Salvador were falling, he could see the many banners held by the
Australian garrisons as they punished this jungle fortress "How many more
regiments do we have?"
"Three sir, only three. All of them are currently
engaged." replied Vincenzo, he was from Monaco, one of Garibaldi's oldest and
dearest friends now serving as his field marshall.
"I want detachments from
each, small squadrons to amass on the western wall, we musn't let them break us.
What of the silversmiths, we have paid them their gold, have they completed our
supplies?" Just days before this attack a band of silversmiths were ordered to
create Legion uniforms and swords, apparently not enough time was
given...
"Sir, no sir, they need more time. We must hold this attack off!"
Vincenzo screamed as clashing metal and horrific screams could be heard in the
background.
"How many walls stand-" asked the General.
"Only two sir."
Vincenzo quickly responded.
"Christ! Alright alright, have one of the
garrisons retreat, we will regroup and try for an assault."
"But sir, we have
no units capable of attack, only pikemen sir."
"A pike is good enough to kill
a man, we have little option Vincenzo." said Garibaldi as he ran out of his
tent. "GARRISON TWO RETREAT! GARRISON TWO RETREAT!" he yelled.
"Sir, I advise
against this." said Vincenzo.
"Grab a pike Vincenzo!" barked
Garibaldi.
The Adriatics were terribly outnumbered. Australian mounted
Knights began to bore down upon the fortress from the jungle. One detachment of
Australian crusaders ran straight into a band of Adriatic pikers, throwing the
men from their horses to the ground, however another quickly attacked from
behind.
Meanwhile atop a nearby hill...
"They are retreating lads! The
day is ours!" yelled William Manning, an Australian general. "Send in two more
detachments, let's finish this now!" he said proudly.
"Cavalry, forward!"
yelled his under officer.
Just months prior Manning was a professor in
mounted tactics at the SunTzu War Academy, he had spent most of his life in
northern South America on patrol detail before beginning his career at the
Military School. He was one of, if not the best generals in the
Americas.
"Come now! We musn't give!" yelled Garibaldi as he slammed his
sword into a fallen crusader. "Gather around men!"
Close to fifty men
gathered around Garibaldi as he looked around, his eyes tearing up. He shoved
his sword into the soft blood-soaked ground, and pushed his sweaty hair from his
forehead.
"This is a very difficult thing to tell you" he said as he saw an
Adriatic soldier being slaughtered in the background "We will lose
today."
There was a long silence as sweat rolled down his forehead.
"You
will never again see your homes, you will never again see your families. We have
lost. I understand if you wish to surrender but I plead and beg of you not to.
If you give in now, they will never let you return to your loved ones. If you
give in now all is lost, if you give in now we have helped them. We must not
give them an inch, they must not take anything more from us. Men, if they are to
be victorious today we must give them nothing to boast, we must fight until they
destroy every fiber of civilization that ever stood here."
"Look sir,
what are they doing?" asked the Australian under officer as he handed General
Manning his binoculars.
"It seems as if though they are having a meeting,
perhaps they are surrendering the city?" asked the General.
"Shall we send
someone?"
"Aye, we better. We don't want to hurt our image now do we James?"
chuckled general Manning.
"Very well, I shall hear their terms of surrender"
said James as he turned his horse and looked back "Wish me luck!" he said with a
smile as his general nodded.
"Do you understand men? We can't give up?"
Garibaldi looked at his men, dirt, sweat and blood mixed upon their faces. They
were pale and ghastly, obviously tired of fighting.
"Sir, I can't... I don't
want to fight anymore..." said one as he fell to his knees crying. Garibaldi ran
to him and hugged him tightly.
"You must continue Hector, I am begging you to
fight with me as an equal, as an Adriatic. We can't let them take this
fortress." begged the general.
"Sir, I shall fight..." said one as he picked
up a sword and held up his pike.
"General I will fight for you.." said
another.
"I will fight" said yet another..
"I shall fight General
Garibaldi" said another, the trend continued.
The General stood up smiling.
He was taken back, he never expected such loyalty to be displayed.
Finally an
Australian officer arrived carrying a white banner signifying peace "I am here
to speak with the commander of this army!" he said.
The men all looked at
Garibaldi, who looked hesitant.
"What is your business, I am the commander."
said Garibaldi.
"You?" asked the Australian as he looked at the dirty and
tattered clothing worn by the general.
"Aye, I am in command of these
men."
"We wish to ask for your terms of surrender." he said with a
smile.
"We have none-" said Garibaldi bluntly.
"No terms? You shall surely
die today you know this? Your men will all perish?" asked the Australian.
"We
will die before we surrender to you." said the general proudly.
"Very well,
have it your way. I shall inform general Manning." said the officer as he turned
his horse and galloped up the hill.
He stopped in the center of his
amassed troops "They will not give in men, I don't know whether to respect their
courage or to laugh at their stupidity. Well this is the final blow, they have
hardly a detachment left, this shall be easy, tis only pikes. We'll have to
charge them." he said, the crusaders nodded.
The under officer held his sword
into the air and looked around "To the Republic men... CHARGE!!!!"
A loud
rumble was heard, Garibaldi stood up. "To your positions men, to your
positions!" he began lifting pikes.
"Everyone here I want you to fall back,
and charge after they fall upon our pikes. You over here, hold strong, you are
our first hope, hold the pikes low we want to catch the horses, we want a wall
to be built. Okay we need around six pikes back here, in case any of the horses
slip through, we musn't let them pass. You men, hold here, if anyone survives
chop them down quickly. They must have reinforcements." The rumble grew louder.
"Alright men, the time is comming, I can see their approach. Hold..." the
cavalry appraoched closer "Hold... Hold..." they were 100 feet ahead. "NOW!"
Garibaldi yelled as the troops lifted their pikes, most of them caught onto the
Horses' stomachs, while others hit their faces and they convulsed, throwing off
the first wave of crusaders, the others ran into the wounded horses and either
tripped or were knocked back.
A few Australians hit the ground and were
quickly attacked by Adriatic troops, others were able to block the inital attack
and began swordfighting in the mud. The horses upon the pikes fell, and with
them went the pikes, the second wave jumped over the fallen horses and landed
upon some soldiers killing them instantly. Snapping bones, clashing swords, and
ripped skin could be heard loudly as the melee ensued.
"Christ! Men fall back
fall back." a little less than twenty men survived this attack and fell back.
The Australians, who vastly outnumbered the Adriatics at this point fell back
too in preparation. The Australian underofficer, James, approached again. "Shall
we spare the lives of these final twenty general Garibaldi and surrender?" he
said with a smile.
Garibaldi looked over at his men, they looked back at
him. They were dirty, tired, pale, and sweaty, but they were also proud. Their
eyes said it all.
"I await your response?" asked James...
Garibaldi
clutched his sword tightly, and looked again around at the final twenty men who
survived the battle, they all nodded.
"CHARGE!" Garibaldi yelled as his
twenty men lifted their swords and bellowed a gigantic battle cry, they then
rushed the Australian soldiers...
The Adriatic League would lose Salvador
and Meridia before agreeing to the Prometheus City Accords. During the war well
over half a million men were lost by Australia, the Adriatic League and
Mongolia. The bloodshed did little to change the geopolitical realities of the
world, but would begin a new era in politics. The Adriatic League lost its
closest ally, and gained a new enemy. The Pacific Pact lost some of its power,
but regained most in the favorable Prometheus City Accords. Most pundits of the
time believed that peace was now achieved. Yet there were still the few that
held a doubtful eye upon the Peace Accords, they wondered aloud whether or not
this actually helped world peace...

Diary of Counsul SunTzu VI
740ad-820ad
Today i see
the people of the Republic of Israel as a great people. They work hard on the
land to improve the economy and strengthen Israels reputation as a world
power.
Over centuries we have been the play thing of others like the
Adriatics, and we have finally decided to stand up for our
civilization.
Today i met secretly in the City of Tiberias in the northern
territory of Pakistan with Counsul Paul Keating and Counsul Easthaven
XI.
Plans were made to form the new Pacific Alliance and I took it upon
myself to devise a military strategy against the Adriatics to repel their
merciless attack upon my neighbors and new allies the Mongols.
It called for
a Defensive line of Mongolian units and a dash behind Adriatic lines by the
Australian Expeditionary Forces to sever the Adriatic Supply lines and then send
the main force from behind and attack the Adriatic Asian Army and make a
flanking from the north then send the Mongolian crusaders dashing through the
defensive lines.
While the Holy Army of Israel attacks the cities behind
north of Israel and sets up defenses to prevent futher reinforcements to the
mongolian front.
The plan was agreed upon us leaders and our military
generals.
The Intelligence Agency shows that Israel is now first in the world
in Annual Income with an outstanding $148 dollars.
Once war was declared
I was sure that Adriatic attacks would come towards Tel Aviv and Jericho. So the
fortification of those 2 city-states was top priority.
Also the knowledge
that the Mali could interfer militarily was in the minds of me and my
advisors.
After years of fighting and absolutely no ground gained though the
Adriatics were in a full scale retreat with no success in Tel Aviv,Jericho,
Mongolia and Central America; the Axis powers were called in by an unknown
source to try and end this war.
Estimated casualties are in the millions with
only 2 battalions of pikement lost in Tel Aviv counting to 60,000+/- Israelites
dead.
The war is over but peace will most likely not prevail in the coming
years. Thus, i pass on this terrible ordeal to my Son SunTzu VII.
I hope he
keeps the Republic of Israel on the incredible incline that i have set it
on.

An address to the nation by Paul Keating.
---
I
stand before you as a proud leader of a proud nation.
[the crowd roars -
Paul, you are God!]
Australia has much to be proud of.
[You are a
deity!]
Our nation comes of age on the world stage.
The Aussie
military, under the brilliant leadership of General Manning, has regained our
claimed territory in the Carribean. The original maps of the world and the
territories claimed by the colonising nations is now much closer to
reality.
We have triumphed!! General Manning has
triumphed!!
[cheers - Manning is THE man!]
Our enemies fought
courageously to the very last man. It is with great regret we see so many of
them dead. Their mighty soldiers speak well of us and we bear the peoples of the
Adriatic League no malice. Our war was with their government which has now
thankfully changed. They are the nation of Europa! And they requested
peace.
AND, we are now at peace [cheers] after a world summit in
Prometheus city.
Australia continues to be held in high regard.
Our
reputation remains impeccable, for want of a better word
You may all read of
the goings on at that summit soon*.
During the course of the AL attack on
Mongolia the oppressed peoples of Israel struggled free from their one-sided
alliance with the AL and joined forces with the Mongols and Aussies!!
We now
have a new Pacific Pact after sadly losing the Chinese membership.
The
Chinese remain our dear friends and are important to our future trading
prospects.
And what can I say about our dear allies, the Mongols?
[cheers for EASTHAVEN the galant!]
There they were, peacefully
developing their nation, thinking they were friends with the AL and suddenly
they were attacked!
But no cities were lost.
The Mongol people and their
powerful economy were able to very quickly build up and modernise their forces
to almost immediately repell the attack.
The Israelis and Mongols are a
strategic military fighting machine that along with the Aussies sees no
rival!
Any nation daring to make any sort of future pre-emptive strike
will be dealt with very severely indeed.
So, I say to you my fellow
Aussies
[Paul, Paul...]
You have all worked hard for these
victories and now that peace has arrived I promise you all better times.
My
republic is getting tired...
It has served a worthwhile purpose, but soon we
will become a fully democratic nation!
[cheers]
I will be forming
the Australian Democratic Union.
[We want you Paul!!]
Other
political parties will be encouraged too....
But for now I present
General Manning this award for military excellence - the Cobber
Cross!
[cheers.... as Paul waves the crowd and disappears leaving General
Manning to receive the full accolade he deserves...]

Manning
makes a little speech..... he speaks of the horror of war and states that no one
is free from blame. He jokes that he might even have a go at
politics.....

The Casualty pics are inteesting...
