Elethar war

"Can you link me to which post has evidence in, in case I skipped it"

Just read the bloody thread!!! (Major naval engagement off Marijuania's West coast).

Its all in there, and in here, I'm too tired to provide an actual link!

[Mr. President]

In eastern Apolyton, the Republic of Karakas has quietly moved its carriers and battleships out to sea. A military source confirms that the government is concerned about the double crisis of Sheepsta and Elethar.

Tensions are still high on the New Griffith border. Karakasian fighter jets are flying along the border almost daily, in an unmistakable show of force.

A bit South from Karakas, the Dominion of Noosland has put all its naval elements on high alert. Battlegroup Clayton is dispatched to deal with the Eletharian threat, while our recon and survillance elements are keeping a watchful eye over the waters.

OOC: Just a note, the LIB is a bank, not a terrorist organization (although they do have a lot of terrorist connections, but still...)

And elijah, a request: in future, if you want Elethar to do soemthign drastic like launching nukes at people, ask me first. It's my nation, and I'd appreciate at least being consulted before somebody else claimed it was flinging nukes around.../OOC

IC: The Eletharian fleet engaged by our vessels has now been almost completely destroyed, and the other fleets heading towards coutnries in our region have been badly battered. A merciless hail of misisles launched from ships and aircraft has destroyed effectively all of the Eletharian heavy ships, and left the lighter ones scattered across the ocean; easy prey for the navies of Centralis, Jackson, and other involved parties.

Meanwhile, in Elethar proper, extensive damage has been done to the Eletharian miltiary by a relentless bombing campaign. Most regions of the country have now been effectively cut off from one another, as the national media broadcasting stations have been destroyed, along with most of the military communication networks. This has left most of the Eletharian army stranded withotu air support or the ability to call for reinforcements; opposition groups, aided by Marijuania, have been able to exploit this for significant gains. In the greatest success so far, the leaders of the tribal guerilla organization Fighters for Ending Eletharian Racism (FEER) have officially anounced their seizure of the primary Eletharian diamond-producing regions in the south-western jungles. Other groups are closing in on the massive coca and poppy fields in the central highlands.

Finally, Centralis intelligence and security services have warned that a wave of terrorism by pro-Elethar groups may soon begin, with the LIB moving it's financial assets around radically and the detection of greatly increased 'chatter' among known terrorist groups. We urge all nations to be on their guard.

"I'd appreciate at least being consulted"
Sorry, got carried away there lol


Fresh from our victory over the enemy fleet (all but two were destroyed, a cruiser was captured and the troop transport got away and is being chased by a heavy cruiser and 2 frigates), our navy is preparing to assault the secondary island of Elethar. This follows intelligence reports that most of the Elethan air-force has been destroyed, partly by bombing, partly by engagement and partly by covert activity.

The superbattleships MSS Hood and MSS Slash-A, 4 smaller battleships, 20 heavy cruisers, escorted by 30 light cruisers, 4 subs, 24 frigates and 18 destroyers, as well as three aircraft carriers, are currently steaming to various positions off Elethar. A force of gunboats, frigates and cruisers will circle the Island, cutting off any naval escape routes. This action will destroy what remains of the Elethan navy, as these fleet assaults would have wasted their navel resources.

This is a map of our current naval assault...

[Whaleboy]

The carriers will protect the fleet while the heavy guns of the battleships and cruisers will unleash a devastating volley of shells, rockets and missiles at the military bases on the Island. On the secondary Island, this should bleed their supplies dry, and well as significantly weakening their military, for an invasion.

We are preparing troops for a land invasion, but consider it tactically prudent for our forces to work with those of another nation, as our number of troops is similar to theirs, although we are better trained, equipped and commanded, we do want a significant advantage.

We consider the secondary Island of high importance, as it will serve to take our many of their military installations, and provide a base of operations for the invasion of Elethar proper. It will also put pressure on their government, and stir the people to a response.

Any kind of reinforcements at this stage would be much appreciated! We have a limited armed forces, and in the process of removing their ability to make war on us, we have been stretched a little thin.

What? This fleet looks quite massive:

"The superbattleships MSS Hood and MSS Slash-A, 4 smaller battleships, 20 heavy cruisers, escorted by 30 light cruisers, 4 subs, 24 frigates and 18 destroyers, as well as three aircraft carriers, are currently steaming to various positions off Elethar."

[Archaic]

That's about the size of Alecrast's primary battlegroup. We could perhaps reinforce you with a battlegroup approx. a third the size of that, though with transit times, it might be just better if we sit this out unless there is a direct attack towards us, and then later on help restore this nation as we did with ourselves after the attacks, and were close to achieving with North and South Sheepsta during the protectorate periods before the regional court made its unfortunate ruling to turn the land over to a Corrupt Dictator.

[Whaleboy]

Its about half our entire navy!! I guess its enough for a blockade and an assault, so dont worry Archaic, but thanks anyway!! Keep your navy for your own defence in these difficult times.

Our task force of 7 carrer battle groups are on sceen so you already got the reinforcements.

Our Marine assualt ships are now on scene and the troops are ready to begin their landing on the beaches of Elethar. Our Carriers will provide the marines with air support and are preparing the landing area for the marines.

The Jackson navy, along with the navies of other countries involved would like to annouce that the sea around Elethar are now under our complete controll. Not even a fishing boat will be able to ecape out notice, and if any hostile ships apear they will be destroy before the even get into with sight of our fleet.

It looks as if the days of Elethar are numbered and only a matter of time before we put an end to that government's use of terror.

No Akirian troops will be engaged unless either their ships enter our waters without permission, or they attack one of our allies first. The first is yet to happen, the second we have seen no evidence for.

To Akira:
Elethar is directly responsible for the nuclear attack on our nation. If this is not an act of war then what is? We understand that you pacficists and want to avoid war at all costs, but Jackson along with other nations of Apolyton see that this to great a risk and millitary action must be taken, and the people of Jackson demand and require us to take such action.

Hopefully all will go well and we will not require your assitence in this matter.

[Whaleboy]

We too are pacifists like Akiria, and the fact that we have been forced to engage in this matter is surely indicative of the threat they pose, and have been posing. Not to mention of course, acting on that threat.

[Drogue]

I understand. I was simply asking if they had striked first. Pre-emtive strikes are counterproductive IMHO, and I was unsure if they were directly responsible for the Jackson nuclear attack. If they attacked first, then go ahead, and Akiria will gladly help. I was just making sure that if was sorted first... such small things tend to be overlooked when it comes to war

[Whaleboy]

Ah ok! All bases on Marijuania are hereby opened to Akirian troops.

Our naval assualt has thus far met with little resistance, a few air strikes, even an air squadron, but little damage, although a bomb detonated on the aft-deck of the MSS Hood, temporarily disabiling a gun turret due to fire, and killing 3. The damage has been repaired, and all planes shot down by AA fire and missiles, as 2 by our fighters.
