English Army SALUTES the Bravery of its Korean Comrades!!!

[England (DoC)]

Mali media newspapers reporting the reaction of High Priest Ashoka after learning that all Indian battleships were laying on the bottom of the ocean.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Basil couldn't but help smiling as he entered the Grand Council of the Byzantine people. The faces around him were downcast, the people clad in black - for the Council believed it had been called in response to the Indian treachery of its massacre of the Peruvians and destruction of elements of the Byzantine shipping fleet.

As he stood to the podium, he could see the confusion on the faces of those close to him. Confused as to why he was smiling.

Then he gave the news:every man, every war machine, every boat, every tank that took part in this infamous Indian treachery now lies dead at the bottom of the ocean.

The audience was shocked, as Basil gave the details. The six battleship group, the destroyers, the transporters containing the pride of the Indian army - the great Nebuchadnezzar infantry division, the tanks. All of them destroyed to a man. The losses of the Indians from their treacherous action at least double that of the Byzantines and Koreas. Just as when the Vampire Queen invaded Byzantium, India arrogance and betrayal has ended in destruction.

"How?" was the cry from the floor.

Basil went out to explain the actions of the the commander of one of the few Byzantine military vessels escorting the transporters as they were driven out of the Incan port to sea facing, he knew, a massacre. The brave defensive action by the Byzantine shipping, drawing the arrogant Indians on, damaging the great battleships in heroic, suicidal attacks, so the plumes of smoke would mark the location of the Indian fleet. None of the brave Byzantine sailors lived to see the success of their work, dying taking satisfaction from teh fact that by their blood they had damaged the great Indian fleet and marked its location.

Meanwhile, using the power of communciation across the world in an instant that the new technologies have given the world, I had phoned some friends. For, my friends, Byzantium has many friends. Friends horrified at Indian treachery; friends who realised that if this was how India behaved it had to be stopped.

And they came. Friends hearing our call on behalf of the Incan and Egyptian people who faced terror at this monster along their coasts. And sent them to hell.

Cheers drowned out Basils words of thanks to the Byzantine diplomatic corps, and brought the Grand Council to a chaotic conclusion.

[Korea (DoC)]

korean naval officials laughed when they heard of Basils reports.

They had the full pictures taken by their aurships before the koreans attacked showing little indian damage to their fleets.

Then the after picture showing no indian ships.

All indian sailors possible were rescued from the waters and taken to England as prisoners of war.

The images showing how some nations are making light of the korean attacks will be released shortly once censored for any critical information

[Byzantium (DoC)]

One last piece of warning.,,, it was incas quick login and acceptance of peace that caused the Byz biggest losses not the lack of korean naval defence of the byz..

Thats an occ statement so not quite the place here, but it really isn't true. I can assure you I have thought through all that very carefully. India was still at war with the Inca when they declared war with me. My ships were not dispaced by any action of the Inca. They were displaced because by the time India declared war on me, they were already occupying the Incan city, and therefore at the point war was declared, my ships were sharing a tile with Indian land forces, and so were displaced. It had nothing to do with the Inca - they remained with open borders with me throughout (and paid a heavy price for doing it). The Incan peace happened after my ships were destroyed. Whoever ic might be 'blamed' for this disaster, as a matter of fact ooc the Incan peace deal did not contribute at all to it.

Sha'Tao ciadel, command center

Empress Shakti: ...report...

High Priest Ashoka: It's confirmed, no survivors. The whole Korean fleet, around 25 destroyers have attacked our fleet. Lost 9 warships 3 transports and a galleon. Total cargo 6. Our fleet managed to kill 9 Korean destroyers there and a 10th near Pataliputra.


Zulkash: Well, this was expected.. though the timing could have been better it was still a great victory. Those stupid Koreans, once one of the richest nation broke themselves to build the biggest fleet in the world while their "allies" continue to advance... those are the signs of the real "tools".

Empress Shakti: What now?

Zulkash: We have too many enemies.. well at least their shame will be bigger when they finally be defeated.. Anyway: the west coast is gone, we all saw it would happen eventually, now we will recall our forces to defend the towers, only those matters now..

Korean Memorial Song

It was in the year of 1700AD the war had just begun,
The Indians had the biggest fleet,
They had the biggest guns.
The Indians had the fastest ships,
That ever sailed the seas,
On their deck were guns as big as steers,
And shells as big as trees.
Out of the cold and foggy night,
Came the Korean Navy it was good.
And ev'ry Korean seaman he knew and understood,
They had to sink the Indians, the terror of the sea.
Stop those guns as big as steers,
And those shells as big as trees.

We'll find those Indian battleships,
That's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Indians,
'Cause the world depends on us.
They hit the decks a-runnin' boys,
And spin those guns around.
When we find the Indians we gotta cut them down.


The Koreans found the Indians and on that fatal day.
The Indians started firin' fifteen miles away.
We gotta sink the Indians was the battle sound.
But when the smoke had cleared away,
Some mighty Koreans went down.
For six long days and weary nights,
They tried to find her trail.
Endo Gam told the people put ev'ry ship a-sail,
'Cause somewhere on that ocean,
I know she's gotta be.
We gotta sink the Indians to the bottom of the sea.


We'll find that Indian battleships,
That's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Indians,
'Cause the world depends on us.
They hit the decks a-runnin' boys,
And spin those guns around.
When we find the Indians we gotta cut them down.


The fog was gone the seventh day,
And they saw the mornin' sun.
Ten hours away from homeland,
The Indians made their run.
The Admiral of the Korean fleet said,
Turn those bows around.
We found those Indian battleships,
And we're gonna cut them down.


The Korean guns were aimed,
And the shells were comin' fast.
The first shell hit the Idnians,
They knew they couldn't last.
That mighty Indian battleships are just a memory.
Sink the Indians was the battle cry,
That shook the seven seas.


We found those Indian battleships,
Was makin' such a fuss.
We had to sink the Indians,
'Cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a-runnin' and,
We spun those guns around.
We found the mighty Indians,
And then we cut them down.


We found those Indian battleships,
Was makin' such a fuss.
We had to sink the Indians,
'Cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a-runnin' and,
We spun those guns around.
We found the mighty Indians,
And then we cut them down.

Chief Minister Endo Gam Speech to the Korean Polulace

Everyone wonders what is happening about the war. For several years past the Indians have been uttering ferocious threats of what they are going to do to the Western Civilisations-to the Koreans and Englsih Empires-when once they set about them. But so far it is the others that are bearing the brunt of Indian malice and cruelty. The Incans, the Persians, the Byzantine , . It is only in the Korean convoys that safety is to be found. There, in those convoys, it is five-hundred-to-one against being sunk. There, controlling forces are at work which are steadily keeping the seas open, steadily keeping the traffic going, and establishing order and freedom of movement amid the waves of anarchy and sea-murder.

We, the aggrieved and belligerent Powers who are waging war against India, have no need to ask for respite. Every week our commerce grows; every month our organization is improved and reinforced. We feel ourselves more confident day by day of our ability to police the seas and oceans and to keep open and active the salt-water highways by which we have; and along which we shall draw the means of victory. It seems pretty certain that over half the Indian navy which they began the war have been sunk, and that their new building has fallen far behind what we expected. I do not doubt that we shall break their strength and break their purpose.

We must always be expecting some bad thing from India, but I will venture to say that it is with growing confidence that we await the further developments or variants of their attack.


Here we are with our shipping virtually undiminished, and with all the oceans of the world free from surface raiders. It is true that the Indians escaped the clutches of our cruisers by the skin of her teeth, but the wreckage still sticks up in the harbor of Peru as a grisly monument and as a measure of the fate in store for any Indian warship which dabbles in piracy on the broad waters. As you know, I have always-after some long and hard experience-spoken with the utmost restraint and caution about the war at sea, and I am quite sure that there are many losses and misfortunes which lie ahead of us there; but in all humility and self-questioning I feel able to declare that at the Admiralty, as, I have no doubt, at the English Ministry of Marine, things are not going so badly after all. Indeed, they have never gone so well in any naval war. We look forward as the months go by to establishing such a degree of safe sailings as will enable the commerce of all the nations whose ships accept our guidance, not only to live but to thrive. This part-this sea affair-at least, of the Indian attack upon freedom is not going to bar the path of justice or of retribution.

In the bitter and increasingly exacting conflict which lies before us we are resolved to keep nothing back, and not to be outstripped by any in service to the common cause. . The day will come when the joybells will ring again throughout the world, and when victorious nations, masters not only of their foes but of themselves, will plan and build in justice, in tradition, and in freedom a house of many mansions where there will be room for all.
