Destruction of Foes (DoF) - Diplo Light [Story Thread 1]

[Bulgaria (DoF)]

We are back to the news from the mysterious CDE operation being conducted by the joint forces of all the Eastern alliance nations.

Or more precisely to the lack of news from the front. Current information from Hungarian News Agency is believed to be misleading or at least unconfirmed, as all attempts to get link to Malaca and Rusaddir local radio stations are without results yet. We are trying our best to get information from reliable sources, as it is clear that the military authorities will keep full silence on the matter.

[Hungary (DoF)]

The Hungarian General Istvan was in charge of the secret mission to Utica.
He was operating under Egyptian flag and would stay under the radar untill the mission was a success.
His wife was at home and had no idea about what Istvan was up to, all she knew was that it was dangerous. Do or die. Then the phone rang, "Istvan here....!"

"One of the bigger Carthagian cities at that time was Kerkouane" the history teacher lectured to his students.
"Where was it located?" one of the Carthagian students asked. His way of speaking made clear that Egyptian was not his mother's language, but now it was the official language he had no choice but to speak it.

[Bulgaria (DoF)]

Speculations about what may or may not be the meaning behind those 3 letters CDE which slipped away from the military are the latest preoccupation amongst the sensation seekers and yellow journalists.

The most ridiculous of them being:

Censure Detection in East
Crap Driven Earful
Critical Distraction Environment
Collateral Damage Estimation
Combined Delusions Events
Cartoon Drawn Egyptians

and so on.

[Hungary (DoF)]

"Leptis Magna.......... what was it's fate?" one of the Hungarian generals wondered.
"Leptis Magna? Are you crazy?" his friend responded. "It was defended by at least 45 advanced units! No way that the Egyptian armies could take it!"
"So you say that Leptis Magna survived, but if Leptis Magna had THAT MANY defenders, then one starts to wonder how many strong defenders were protecting a far more important city like Hadrumetum!"

[Hungary (DoF)]

You finish the story, Bulgaria? Or perhaps Egypt?
This one final last chapter, which is the best, has to be exposed.

I'll just spill the beans on Carmino.... it's in safe and responsible hands, we can say.

[Bulgaria (DoF)]

[OOC] Egypt is way too chivalrous and moral to play these mind-fuсk games I guess. Let me finish this and then you finish your turn or otherwise the westerners may for real have nightmares. Which this is something they are used to and typical for a backstabbers and God-damned NAP-breakers. Anyway [/OOC]

Breaking news!

Last minute update on the CDE operation.



We had short connection at last with General Boiko Borissov of the Bulgarian Special Forces Corpus. He is reported to be on the front. The connection was very bad and suddenly dropped before we manage to ask him all our questions. All we could hear was he said it is so much noisy because of the tractors who plough and big bulldozers who if we heard correctly throw salt in the furrows. To us this did not sound logical at all and asked him why one would do that to which he answered only Carthago Delenda Est before the link broke and we lost connection. Maybe we can connect later on to try to clarify all this mystery.



I though Carthago Delenda Est was just an expression?

The Carthaginian Clown

The Carthaginian Clown, a weekly magazine which always tries to find the good in the bad, the laugh in the cry, has published it's latest mock article, titled "A new prime touristic attraction":

************************************************** ********************************


A new prime touristic attraction





Following extensive restructuring, the former location of the city of Wonders Carthage, has been remodelled and redesigned by Egyptian architects.

The city ruins are an impressive sight to see,
and it's prime location on the beautifull mediterranean sea shore makes it a true touristic highlight of the future.





************************************************** ***********************

Reactions on this article have been particularly violent. Virtually all newspaper stands selling the Carthaginian Clown have been burned. The Carthaginian Secret Service (CSS) has made several arrests at the publishers company. We have been informed this magazine was completely run by Egyptian spies..

[Rome (DoF)]

Senate and people of Rome learned the devastating news in the early morning.
Senators gathered at an extraordinary secret meeting, after which they will make a statement.
Among the people bear the word that the great city of Carthage was destroyed and burned to the ground. "Who are these barbarians who would destroy such beauty and culture. Lived in the city millions, but the barbarian hordes who are out of Tartarus are all destroyed."

[Carthage (DoF)]

After the attrocities committed by Egyptian elite commando units, which caused the death of millions of Carthaginians, the utter destruction of the pride and joy of the Carthaginian nations, and the destruction of countless Wonders of the World, now the time for revenge has come.


Hanno adressed the nation:

"First we shall hunt down every single unit, ship and man which took part in this infamous Egyptian CDE operation. Then we shall restore control of all soil which has always been Carthaginian. And then, my fellow citizens, we shall have our revenge.

We shall fight the just fight,
we shall fight them where we can,
we shall fight them by every means possible,

we shall not relent,
we shall not shy away from blood, tears and whatever horror lays ahead of us,
we shall revenge the wrongs which are done to us,

we shall not fail,
not now, not when we fight on our own sacred Carthaginian soil.

Per Aspera, Ad Astra!
"

News about parliamentary crisis in Portugal have reached us.



Heavy fights in their Parliament are fought to compensate for their lack of desire to fight on the battlefield.
