Western Apolyton/Guardina

[Rasputin]

The smoke slowly rose from the remains of the fire. The smell of morning coffee filled the air. From tents located all along the ridge men and women were slowly emerging. The first rays of sunshine were appearing and the cooks had been doing their best for at leat an hour already to prepare for the day.

Out of the central tent, a much larger one than the surrounding tents, strode the Captain of the local brigade. He only had a small force here to monitor the border but his troop were well traijend after spending much time with the nation of Emerald Cove in their yearly war games. He was pleased to have his favourite group of NCOs with him again. They had been together in the war on terrorism that had seen the eleimination of all Terrorist camps in the coutnry.

He lifted his binocalors to his eyes and looked south, there he could see his peer from the Guardina border patrol doing the same. For a few seconds the two pairs of binoculars were pointing directly at each other. The captain waved to the distant officer on the far hill across the imaginery line in the valley. He saw the other captain smile and wave back.

He smiled himself and headed back to where the cooks wer elaying out breakfast. If only we could be true friends , he thoguht to himself. Politics sucks he thought.

As he approcahed the mess area, the most repsected General Suzanne Berong looked his way and summone dhim over. Berong was Western Apolyton National and had risen through the ranks quickly with many dispalys of strategy and brwavery i nbattle.

He turned and walked over saluted and then wondered what today had in store for him and his men .

Guardinia Central Command, later that same morning

General Armand Braddock, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and third in command of Guardinia's military after the President and the Minister of Defense entered the situation room and walked briskly up to the group of men and women already present. He walked straight up to General Kimberley, who commanded the Guardinian forces currently deployed along the border to Western Apolyton. "General, what's our situation on the northern border?"
"Sir, it doesn't look too bad. Our forward patrols and observation posts are all reporting that the Auldoninnans are showing no signs of hostile intentions. To the contrary, we are receiving several reports of Auldoninnan officers and enlisted men smiling and waving to our people, trying to be friendly."
"Hmmm." Braddock considered that for a while.
Things were certainly looking better than a few hours ago, when Guardinia had thought a major attack could be incoming.

When the Auldoninnans launched their initial attack on the FCL/Hive forces, it had at first not been known that Guardinia was not the target. Expecting the worst, Guardinia had gone on full defensive alert, bringing every missile system online and scrambling every available aircraft, including strategic bombers ready to go on grand tour of Western Apolyton. In Guardinia City, the National Emergency Evacuation Plan had been activated and president Fowler had been virtually dragged out of bed by the Marine Guards and placed on a helicopter heading out of town at slightly above the specified top speed. As he raced across the rooftops of the capital, the President had been preparing to place a call to his Cerooan counterpart to inform his allies that Guardinia was under attack.

When it became clear that none of the Auldoninnan aircraft or missiles were headed for Guardinia or any known allies or neutrals, the frantic launching of aircraft had stopped and most of the planes already in the air had been recalled. The rest of the military had been ordered back to whatever they were doing just before the alert and the president and other key staff had been rushed back to their normal positions. Basically, Guardinia was trying to act as if nothing had happened.

As he studied the updated situation overview, Braddock quietly wondered how many people knew otherwise...




[OOC: I told you Guardinia felt threatened by those bases!
It appears we almost had a war over them because we didn't know what you guys were up to over there.]

Presently the Western half of our nation is undergoing major econmic rush due to presence of many Auldonina troops.

Nm, the Western Apolyton map came up. Where are the Auldoninan forces ?

[Guardian]

GNN Headline News

Guardinia officially announced today that it was relaxing defenses along the border to Western Apolyton somewhat, since it appears the new Western Apolyton government and their Auldoninnan allies do not constitute an immediate threat to Guardinia after all. Some forces are reported to already be moving out, heading for the coast. Our sources have little doubt that these forces are now being prepared for deployment to Azan...

Westen Apolyton is allied to auldonia and is allwoing usage of its port , airfields and barracks for the rest and recuperation of our troops.

This is not a takeover it is just friends.

The bomber squadron is based on the west coast. The fleet is based at that small island off the north coast.

Thus, it would probably be a good idea for the hive to invade it?

[ceroomaster]

The Cerooan government has also noted the ease at which a small nation such as Western Apolyton could be invaded by Hive forces and calls on Guardinia to retain tight border controls to the north.

I think that we must have a strong naval presence to ward off any potential landing in Western Apolyton.
