NBE surrender, Peace declared once more!
Today the government of the New Boston Empire unconditinally surrended the country to the forces of the Earth coalition.
Immediatly troops from both India and Brazil began the occupation of the New Boston territories, without encountering much resistance (if only for a small group of fanatical who was easily destroyed).
The Flags of India and Brazil are now waving above the old Imperial Palace of New Boston.
On a side note the Boston Tea Party Association have thanked the coalition forces for their help in bringing freedom to the NBE.
Diamoutene overrunned
Lucca - Diamoutene's capital, Russian soldiers are parading through the streets of the city as with a real blitzkrieg they managed to get the control of over half of the country. Bombers who were transported from Earth to Mars during the war bombed the Diamoutenian army while a giant Russian offensive began in the north, while the Diamoutenian were busy in the south fighting against Admiral Zhukuzov troops.
The Diamoutenian leaders were captured yerstuday night befor they had a chance to escape and were forced to surrender to the invading troops.
In the meanwhile Admiral Zhukozov was awarded a prize and promoted to an higher grade for his heroism in battle anf for his leadership.
Flores: the battle is still on
A combined Russian-Chinese invasion of Flores proved only partly succesfull, mostly due to the fact that many Russian divisions were moved out of Flores in order to fight in the Diamoutene's campaign.
Nonetheless air superiority and startegic bombing done by the Russian and AsCon Space Fleet won them the day as they managed to inflict heavy damages to the Floretian industrial capibility and defensive organization.
A Chinese force managed to gain much land in the south by taking the cities of Pero and Appleville. and are very near to strike into Flowerton itself, The Chinese advance was helped by a militia of Floretian rebels.
The Rebels have even asked the Chinese and the Russians to help them establish a democratic government in Flores.
Terrorists behind the US Moon Base tragedy?
According to an investigation of the CIA it is believed that behind the attack to the Nimitzian tower there is a terrorist group called "Desdemomium" in the meanwhile a first man, with Senegalese passport, was arrested and transfered to Guantanamo.
The reconstruction have already began in there with a new big project.

We understand the hardships your nation has gone through in this war. But we have had hardships too. We need peace for the good of our citizens. We will accept peace under these following conditions: You give us favoured trade status and you must enter the CDA. If you entered the CDA, you would show your true intensions to the world. It will greatly benefit our two countries, and finally end this bloody war. For the good of our citizens we ask you to agree!

Sadness is laying heavily over the Empire. We mourn the death of your beloved King Dhou, as he was anot only a wise leader but also a member of the Chinese royal family.
Be assured our doctors have done everything within their abilities to help him, and even your own traditional-medicine-doctors couldn´t do anything but stand by watching...
Our thoughts are with you, people of Manchuria, my people!
The new heir of the throne of Manchuria will be, according to the last wishes of King Dhou, the son of his daughter with the Chinese Emperor: Huang Di, in the hope of peacefully reuniting the Kingdom of Manchuria and the Chinese Empire into one state.
Today both a great tragedy and a great victory took place.
While the AsCon expresses their deepest condolences to the Manchurian people, this day has finally brought the reunification of two countries that belonged together since their foundation!
Today, the border between us has fallen, and we welcome our long lost brothers!
Of course the Manchurian population will be granted the same rights as the Tibetian one, except for the issues concerning the national defence. Manchurian soldiers enjoy a fabulous reputation in China, and we will gladly integrate the existing military into the Imperial Army, Navy and Airforce.
Once again, welcome home!
To Pakistan
Greetings!
Today the AsCon has completed it´s analysis on the condition of Pakistan and announced the official results:
Pakistan - AsCon Analysis Report
After intensivly studying the economical, social, political and military situation of the AsCon candidate state of Pakistan, we agreed on the following decisions:
1) Pakistan meets all conditions of the AsCon, and is therefore granted full membership. From this day on, the Republic of Pakistan will take part in all meetings and decisions as well as all actions of the AsCon.
2) The economy of Pakistan is able to cover the basic needs of its population, but needs massive aid to become competitive. The AsCon has agreed on a total economic aid program worth INR 35 billion. A complete list with each member´s share is attached to this document.
3) The armed forces of Pakistan receive INR 5 billion to be upgraded to AsCon standards. After six months from now, Pakistan will be able to take part in peacekeeping missions under the flag of the Asian Confederation.
4) Pakistan enters the AsCon free trade zone. Pakistani citizens will be allowed into AsCon member countries without visum, and all trades roting in Pakistan will be granted favoured status within the AsCon.
We welcome our latest member to our community! Congratulations, shall our common future be bright!
To the Flores population
While your dying government has managed to plunge your great country into misery by entering this foolish war on empty ideals, we are here to prevent you from total destruction.
We urge you to drop your weapons, follow the example of the Flores Liberty Organization (FLO), which has honourably fought your former oppressors to spare lives in this war. The towns of Pero and Appleville have been freed yesterday, and at noon the first public market has reopened today. The whole liberated area has been declared Freestate of Peros, currently under the administration of the AsCon. Local elections will be held by March this year, when the whole country got rid of its dictatorship.
The Flores military is asked to surrender to either AsCon or Russian troops. We will of course grant them all rights following he Genevan Conventian, and as soon as this war is over all POWs will be released. As we have heard, our catering enjoys quite a good reputation among your population... Well, the surrendering troops will be supplied by us just like our own military...
NEWSPAPER
Appleton, Freestate of Peros, Mars
When a Manchurian General visited Appletown today, a group of pupils spontaneously invited him to attend the local kid´s choir festival. He said to have been highly impressed by that gesture, as well as stunned by the show.
In an interview he was giving to the local press "The daily Apple" he stated that the Flowerton people are peaceful by heart, and much more talented in cultural affairs than fighting. He was quoted to be hoping for an unbloody end of this war, so that elections could take place soon.
However, the AsCon troops in Flowerton are mostly welcomed as liberators and friend, especially the children are visiting the soldiers regularily, at least because of the good earth chocolate they are given there
China
After the fading of King Dhou this morning, the mourning marches have ended now. More that sevenhundred million Chinese are reported to have taken part in those...
Meanwhile the Kingdom of Manchuria is - according to the last will of it´s king - now officially integrated into the Chinese Empire! Due to the sad origin of thÃs event the public isn´t dancing on the streets right now, but most people feel a deep happiness beneath the black shadow of sadness. Finally our brothers have rejoined us!
The official "annexiation" is planned for April this year, so the real celebrations will surely occure by then!
Rangoon, Myanmar
"Unbelievable that this whole area has been wasteland just a few months ago" said a Myanese passer-by asked for his impressions on the progress on the AsCon-Headquarters here. "You can already have lunch in the big restaurant at the entrance hall! Although the view isn´t that nice right now with all those excavators and cranes" he adds laughing.
Right now almost on third of the project has been finished, while the conference building is receiving it´s ground floor right now. Only the great meeting hall in the north is still a huge hole, but also there one can see workers busily doing their jobs.
When the final 400 million INR for the completion were wired today by the Chinese Empire, lead architect Glen Dwight appeared visible relieved. Now the people here look forward to the bright future, especially to the many tourists that are expected when the complex is finished.
To the World:
Tassadar II has fallen ill with Influenza. We have reviewed his "Command Powers" list, and as such have determined that for the time he is ill,
EMPEROR HUANG DI
will rule over civilian India.
The Indian military in the NEW BOSTON EMPIRE is ordered to hold dissent down until Tassadar II returns to duty.
Should an emergency situation arise,
LORD NUCLEAR
shall rule over Military India with the restrictions that he cannot move troops out of New Boston Empire and can only move $1,000,000 troops to any nation India is CURRENTLY at war with.
Neither administrator may accept diplomatic deals for any reason from any party. The exception to this is the complete and total surrender of a nation.
Should that event arise, the nation in question will be DIPLOMATICALLY ANNEXED into India until autonomy or independence can be granted.
This also applies to the New Boston Empire. Due to legal issues, Tassadar II has ordered that the NBE be placed under Emergency Indian Law and be DIPLOMATICALLY ANNEXED until further notice.
NM writes military orders in the case of an emergency.
You write the civilian orders. So you can't order troops to leave or grant independance, however you can develop the economy or rebuild or somesuch.
U.S. to Russia:
What are you going to do with the countries defeated in Mars if you are going to keep any of the land we would like you to remember how we helped you when you deside what to do with the land.
U.S. to CDA:
We have found out that our moon base was attacked by terrorists by the name of Desdemomium, we would like to ask your help in rooting them out.
Orders:
enlarge Space Fleet (1.5 years)
hunt down the terrorists

Hi everybody... I'm posting from my university right now.
My internet at home is not working, I don't know why to say the truth.
I'll try to re-install my modem today and see if that works... if it doesn't it means that I'll have to call someone and that will take time...
I'm sorry....

At the moment we have not decided anything. If you want send troops to fight in Flores and Diamountene to help us in the war.
To: CDA
From: Russia
I propose an idea. What if we all donate a certain amount of our troops to a big CDA military? It would make us safer.
In the end I had to call a technician (sp?), and I was actually very lucky he did everything in a day. (although he took me 20€!!! )
Anyway.... the update shall start NOW!

When we entered this war, the only nation we officially declared war upon was the NBE. However, that will be remedied shortly.

Now that your borders are secure from the threat of the NBE, will you declare war on their former allies?

Just a reminder--Brazil has already recognized Gulastan as a sovreign state.
Speech From the Desk of El Presedente
My fellow Brazillians,
Our original goal when we entered this war was to end the New Bostonian occupation of the Indian Mars Colony. Our troops carried out a glorious but albeit abortive invasion attempt against New Boston, yet it was not intended to conquer the nation, simply to draw off troops so that our Indian brothers would be able to drive them out of their homes.
However, while our troops were in New Boston, we saw up close what tyrannical acts of atrocity had been committed against the people. And then there was the shuttle bomb, killing a Chinese princess, a Brazillian sportscaster, and hundreds of innocent Indians. We thus made our goal to wipe out tyranny from the face of Mars.
We have now succeeded in removing the ugly blotch from New Boston, though not from the memories of its people. However, there are other nations where tyrants and dictators continue to force their will upon other nations.
Having said this, the Federated Republic of Brazil declares war on the nation of Flores.
*gets up, heads towards door*
Now that I've said it, I can go out and enjoy my--
*notices camera is still running*
WILL YOU SHUT THAT THING OFF?
ORDERS
-Land troops in Flores so that their capital is in between Chinese and Brazillian occupation zones. If attacked from three points at once, they are almost sure to collapse.
-Continue all upgrades.
-Continue pacifying and rebuilding the NBE with the cooperation of India.
I'll include your post in the nest update (which should be tomorrow BTW) as I'm almost finished with this one.
Sorry
