The Frankychan / Azan Situation

[Urban Ranger]

Aboard missile destroyer NNS Firelight, off the Western coast of Guardinia somewhere.

"'Eyes' informed us of unidentified incoming aircraft. Bearing N22°E, distance 200 km, speed 800 km/h. Closest approach - 37km at the moment."

"It's not one of the Guardinia planes. Comm, relay to Theatre Command."

"Yes sir."

"Captain, the plane has just switched on search radar. It is also turning towards us."

"Analyse radar signal."

"Captain, Theatre Command has authorised independent response."

"Excellent. Mr Thein, ready long range anti-radar missile."

"Yes sir."

***BREAKING NEWS-FCL National News***


"Nations of Apolyton as well as citizens of Frankychanland. We, FCL National News, have dire news from our leader, General Frankychan. We cut now to a live broadcast..."
------

General Frankychan's speech, in progress....

"These recent accusations of "global takeover" by FCL troops and from our ally of the Hive are totally without merit. We are merely cementing our nation into a permanent position where dissidents and radicals will not be able to overthrow the order and justice my policies have created.

Furthermore, these accusations that FCL troops have attacked Auldoninan troops is totally false. Why would FCL troops attack an apparent ally's troops who are helping in stabilizing the region? Internal investigations have concluded that it was Auldoninan troops who ambushed FCL patrolmen. This act of aggression will not be tolerated and Auldonina will not be allowed to set foot on FCL/Former Azan soil. We are ordering the nation of Auldonina to remove all it's troops from our territories, cease all military actions, and leave the FCL/Azan island.

From now on, Auldonina is barred from Frankychanland waters, Frankychanland airspace, and Frankychanland soil. The Hive will replace Auldoninan troops and will be awarded exclusive contracts to help rebuild our nation as well as the Azan territories. "

A reporter stood up (obviously staged) and asked a question.

"General, sir. What does this mean?"

"It means......Frankychanland dissolves its alliance with Auldonina and instead will treat them as a hostile nation. The Hive has proven itself as a great nation that stands by it's friends and we will support them as they have to us. I'm declaring FCL and Former Azan's territory CLOSED to all nations except to our allies of the Hive."

-------END TRANSMISSION--------

[Frankychan]

OOC: Damn, this forum has really sparked to life. The nation of Frankychanland is a big troublemaker, it seems......

[Mr. President]

The transport planes from Pristina were already in the air when Air Command radioed. With the declaration of Frankychanland and Azan closing to all nations save only the Hive, the aid mission was put on indefinite hold.

Fortunately, there was enough fuel left to turn around and land in northern Centralis. Presumably their aid shipments would be similarly impaired; but the Joint Chiefs would need to have discussions with their Centralian counterparts about the flames being fanned . . .

[Basus]

Office of the National security advisor, offical press release

Basus military is send to conduct action under a flag of truce. Their only task will be to support humanitary aid. Basus militia will create the neccesary infrastructure for the distribution of food and medical supplies. Our centre of distribution will be in the international waters near free Azan

First Minister Cooper's Office

The minister was busy packing his personal belongings into boxes. His top aide busrts in through the doors...
"First Minister, we've just been watching FCL news, they've ordered Auldoninna out!"
"What's wrong with knocking, Mike?"
"Sorry, sir. But did you hear?"
"What's happened?"
"An FCL patrol was ambushed by the Auldoninnans".
"Was it the Auldoninnans or some of our boys?"
"Don't know sir, either way it's one down and one to go..."

INS Fable
"We have visual contact with the third fleet, sir"
"Take us in, nice and slow, get in front of the Sarali".
"Yes sir"
"And keep a watch out for Auldoninnan vessels, wor is they'll be leaving soon".

The Fable rejined with the third fleet, bow pointing towards FCL waters. It was a quiet evening, oddly there were lights on in the coastal towns, it was usually pitch-black all night. There were more vessels in FCL waters since Fable took it's 'guests' back to Ceroo, small though. Those hospital ships perhaps? The Hive?
One couldn't help but get the feeling that something was going to happen...

Official Communique from the Jonchastan Coordinating Congress of the Guard and Militia Councils to all interested parties

It would seem that in Former Azan, as elsewhere, the dogs of war have fallen into fighting with each other over which one gets the bone. From the humanitarian's point of view, which dog succeeds is irrelevant, which is why Jonchastan is resolute in maintaining and defending the much needed field hospital and refugee aid camp in Southeastern Azan.

We would like to inform other nations that the airfield and port are both fully operational, and replete with all manner of defensive systems to protect incoming aid shipments. The hospital is open all nations that wish to bring relief to the Azani people, and any nations that wish to contribute to its defence will be welcomed.

Note, however, that we will not tolerate any nation that wishes to use the camp as a cover for clandestine military operations against any of the various sides in the conflict. As such, all shipments of food and medical aid will be subject to inspection, and any violating nations will be barred from the area.

[Basus]

Basus supports Jonchastan completely and will supply the hospital with medicine and food supplies. Furthermore Basus will send Maud one of Basus most popular singers to boost the moral in the support zone.

On an official note Basus has called upon the leaders of the Former Azani to participate in a summit on neutral ground on board of the "Admiraliteit" To set up a official representative government for the Azani minority. The representatives are under Basus protection during the summit and we warn all nations to refrain from violence against these people. We would also like to invite the Auldoninnans, Hive and Frankychanland officials as well as the Ceroo/Guardinia officials. Last but certainly not least we call upon our Jonchastan allies to support our initiative and help us realise a good outcome.
All other intrested parties are welcome to participate. All help is appriciated.

[Mr. President]

Official memorandum from President of Karakas and Joint Chiefs to Jonchastan Co-Ordinating Congress of the Guard

The government of Karakas applauds your initiative and your resolute action in setting up the air field and refugee camp. With your permission, we would like to send the delayed grain shipments from Pristina to your facility in south-east Azan.

As a gesture of goodwill, we would also like to deploy personnel from the 52nd Air Commando Section to aid in the defense of your facility. If you accept, the commanders will be instructed to defer to your overall command, and will only take part in such operations as are deemed necessary to defend the airfield and port.

Regards,

President Jose Djordjevic
General Eric Jensen, Head of Joint Chiefs

[joncha]

Jonchastan welcomes Karaka's participation in the relief efforts in Azan, and would like to applaud their handling of the crisis thus far.

We would also like to urge your nation to stand with us in support of the efforts of Basus to restore representative government to the Azani people.

[joncha]

Here's an updated map of FCL/Azan with naval forces included. Pink for Guardinia and Ceroo, Yellow for Auldoninna, Orange for Frankychanland, Purple for the Hive, Red for Jonchastan and Blue for Basus. The red star is the location of Jonchastan's field hospital, the pink star for the joint Guardinia/Ceroo fleet.

[Mr. President]

The government of Karakas has endorsed Basus' plan to set up a representative Azani government. In a news conference, the President's press secretary stated that the government believed that Basus' proposal had the best chance of "heading off chaos in Azan".

When quizzed, however, on Karakas' rumored interest in joining the League of Armed Neutrality, the secretary declined to confirm or deny. He did, however, give the almost cryptic reply, "If it were a social club, I'm sure the President would join. Because, you know, he admires very much their goals and their policies as well."

[Basus]

Thank you Jon, for placing a map . I tried earlier but i'm a total idiot with computers so i could only attach it
