bab 2830
Babylonian strategy
After Assyria started to behave very suspicously towards Babylon our advisors warned that Babylon cannot resist in a long-lasting type of warfare against the economical power of Assyria. Therefore Babylonian army was prepared for a blitzkrieg.
This is not because we would be a warlike nation. Aim of the blitzkrieg is to cause large losses to Assyria quickly (including capturing as many cities as posible). We hope the supposed losses could help our Assyrian brother to stop his truculence. In other words we will be prepared for peace talks.
Operation anti-locusts
Disinfestation of the northern part of the front was finished completely. Babylonian caravanieri (traders that were forced to take weapons under the circumstances; they hate they cannot make money and are narked seriously) destroyed one group of regular Assyrian army equiped with Chariot II and one group of slayers responsible for death of our customs officers. The second group of slayers was destroyed by our new 'morass horsemen' squad, so far dirty of a mud. No Assyrian soldier survived in the area between Larsa and Kurigalzu.
In the southern part we will advance cautiously, since a large new fort was detected between Kish and Kurigalzu.
International loan service
We agree with our Assyrian brother it is an incredible impudence of the Minoan leader to meddle into our personal skirmish. So we agree the Minoan caravan must be destroyed (200g will hardly be be payed since ... ehm ... the total sum of Minoan and Hittite gold is ... ehm ... not very high).
(We also remind the Hittite and Persian leaders had similar allusions, although it looks they want to realize loans somewhere in the future only. Maybe they deserve some lesson too?)
From other point of view we think Minos shouldn't let Assyria to command what Minos must or must not do. Assassination of innocent traders and 200 schoolboys (bad schoolboys but still schoolboys) on their periodic trip to Greek museums must be punished definitely. Also we are hoping Greeks won't sit back doing nothing when schoolboys are murdered in Greek lands. And the Hittites are allied with Minoans, so we suppose they know what is their obligation.
That's all for now.
