Big Huge Thread IV: Name Change Explination Inside
Today with help from the Lisovite mercenaries, Peruvian troops stormed into Puerto Bolivar. The stunned Ecuadorian defenders barely had time to gather themselves before half the city was occupied. Artillery emplacements set up outside the city began to pound the remenants of the city into rubble. Panicked Ecuadorian citizens began to flee their flaming homes into the streets. Were they were taken into custody by the advancing Peruvian-Lisovite forces (civilian POWs ) . Within two hours the Peruvian standard had been raised above shell pocked capital building. The blitzkrieg tactics employed by our forces are layong waste to Ecuadorian defenders. The UDSA should be warned.
The Predator tank is well on it's way to being fixed. It is expected to take another three weeks.
To Polynesia - Cease this threatining of the British of once. Though they can't really lift a figner at the moment we can! And in this case we are in much better shape to fight than you are!
OOC: Wow, 3 wars all starting just after the previous ends. Well at least my troops will be veterans after this....
IC:
The United Kingdom's troop transport ships arrived in canadian ports to pull out the over 275,000 UK troops still in area. At least 150,000 of these troops got on troopships that immediatly joined Resounding Fury and HMS Ocean and their escorts headed towards the South Atlantic Islands, particulary the Falklands and South Georgias. HMS Illustrious and her 3 Manchester class escorts have already begun launching strikes at Argentine positions in the Falklands. Morale is however low after losing two wars.
Most of the volunteers to the UK army during the CW conflict have gone back to civilian life as the UK economy switches back to a peace time setting. The Defense Minister has reinforced the goal of a relatively small but elite military with a relatively large but elite navy. At least 8 Astute subs have been completed as well as 10 new emerald class ships during the war footing. Construction continues on two "britanized" nimitz classes.
The UK has acknowleged the fact that only 1,200 canadian troops were killed in the war. However at least 16,000 civilians were killed in the fighting particulary the bombing of toronto and land battles for major cities. Most of the fighting was done by UK veterans who lost at least 20,000 men in the defense of the canadian civilians.
The Uk has expanded its order to 800 Eurofighters with a possibilty of more to be ordered if the economy allows with all the naval construction being done and the wars an all.
To CW
we will not be sending a force to canada nor will we leave troops to maintain their independence. We have already spilled enough blood and will let any other nations to send troops under the UN banner.
To Chile,
Welcome to the international spotlight. Despite teh anti UK sentiment going around and what seems like everyone picking fights with us, you can be sure that your friends will aid you in whatever endevours you may have.
To ARM,
You have assualted the sovereign land of the UK. You have 36 hours to announce your intention to withdraw. If you fail to comply, our carriers will open fire.
To Polynesian Coalition,
You intend to assualt australia? First, you do not have the landing craft to do this, second any craft you have will be destroyed by harpoons from coastal batteries or those pesky Nimrods and third, even if you did land you would be driven into the ocean quite quickly. Can you land enough troops to defeat 200,000 veteran soldiers and 250 tanks? If not, then withdrawn you "ultimatum". And i will use those two weeks to deploy 3 Emerald class ships to australia....
To ICE,
could you talk some sense into the Polynesian coalition before they send thousands of their troops to die? Also, we could sell you the plans for the Tralager for just 2 billion dollars and you could construct as many as you want. We will even include parts of the plans for the Astutes.
To Greater Communist India,
We welcome increased relations with you. The UK in its endless searche for increased commecial relationships( and therefore less war) with the world offers you access to our large food stores in exchange for whatever goods you may have. India is a large country with portions of it in need for food, but also a place of great beauty and potential. You sheer population makes trade with you very lucrative and you have much to gain from us in the fields of technology.
We will aid you in fixing the Predator tanks. We also desire your help in researching a newer tank modeled off of the Abrams, LeClerc, and Leopard. It will be called the Wulfgar.
Project Wulfgar Started
With the completion of the Do'Urden submarine the Generals have allowed a slash of the budget to make room for the Wulfgars. The Wulfgars will combine the technology of the Leopards, LeClercs, and Abrams. It will have a 155mm Turret with computer sights and full 360 degree rotation. It will have a self-cooling turret and an auto-loader. It will include the most advanced military technology available. Most of this technology was given by the Germans and sapped from the tanks we have.
Higher Education policies enacted
Napoleon has enacted a stricter education policy and has allowed the production of more schools. Also, all of Brazil will be linked by fiber-optic cable in 2 years.

To: ICE
Due to your request, the Coalition gives the British another two weeks to make their answer. However, if the British do not answer in that time, we are forced to war.
Our request is:
-The demilitarization of the northern coast of Australia.
-Organizing of peace conferences regarding the situation of North America and Ireland.
[This message has been edited by Patriqvium (edited March 17, 2000).]
We have pulled out of North American completly and have offered Ireland joint policing of northern ireland. They refused. We have made every concession as of late and are willing to do so no more.
And we will not demilitarize northern australia since you have threatened to invade. But know this, we have no plans to attack any other sovereign nation but will defend ourselves as we see fit.
And who says i can't lift a finger? In the other thread i posted having 750,000 total troops, I only had 300,000 in North America at the max.(hundreds of thousands of Canadians enlisted but did not finish basic training before war ended) The rest are in all my other areas especially Australia and the Isles. I won't be doing much in the North Atlantic for a while but the rest of the UK armed forces are just fine.
Deployed today were Corps I-VIII which were deployed into east India. All forces were on time as scheduled and "the plan" is soon to happen. These forces include 28 mechanized infantry divisions and 12 armored divisions.
Economy Rise Proposition
Proposed today in a Greater Indian governmental meeting was an act that would cut down on needless military GDP percentage and focus much of it on the nation's economy. The goal of making Greater India a first world nation is now out in the public, and much controversy is going on between the militants of the country and the social people of the country. Military generals claim that it is not needless. Surprisingly though the majority of military officials support the act if it is considered by the rest of the government. So far the majority of the population and government officials think the act is a good plan, but nothing has been decided as of now.
Twelve Factories in Construction
In the same meeting was the proposition, that was passed, recommending that twelve factories be ordered. Nine will be armor factories and general weapons factories while the other three will be aircraft factories. Six of these factories will be relatively large while the other six will be at a mediocre size. Three are to be built outside New Delhi, three outside Bangladesh, 3 outside Nishpur, and 3 outside Jaipur. Also proposed was the idea of constructing five large naval facilities in Sri Lanka, but the government has told the public that the proposition was turned down until further notice.
Indo-China Alliance Confirmed
A glorious day for India and China! The Indo-Chinese Alliance has formed, making India and China speed up relations to an A+. The alliance is for mutual defense and economical aid. Proposed today from India was a free trade agreement to be added in. The government officials in Greater India are thrilled to work with one of the other world powers in Asia.

Chancellor Patriqvium's Personal Message to Prime Minister Draconis
========================
The Polynesian Coalition is satisfied about your answer. We also apologize our childish provocations. However, we are disappointed of the delay in our program to pacify the Western Pacific, and we thus suggest a peace conference. It would take place at the International Conference Q-Center, as soon as the British gain their representation there. We are inviting the following nations:
-Ourselves
-The British
-The German Empire
-ICE
In the conference, we all could discuss the future of the Pacific peacefully.
Wiio's First Law: Communication usually fails, except by accident.
OOC: Sadly yet again another majority OOC post. Hopefully this will be the last one for awhile. I don't want to have a long OOC argument but I *DO* want to defend myself.
"Take Greece, I'm sure you'll want Macedonia and Albania next."
Thanks for Greece, but all I wanted Greece for is to be able to Control the Aegean Sea. If you want, I can help make it up to you by helping you acquire colonies in Africa. But since your giving Greece, will you sign a cease-fire? I have no intrest in Macedonia or Albania.
"I don't want to fight a war with you BD becuase I know it will turn out just like W99. I'll post a battle that I win in, then all of a sudden you'll post "They thought they were winning, and they were, but then the artillery on the highground opened up and stopped half a million men."
I will admit I should have checked the numbers, but I didn't realize I was outnumbered that much, Besides, this thread is moderated. Just like you should not have announced you landed 50,000 marines in a major urban area without a fight.
Anyway, if the offer for the alliance is still on the table, we will take it and help make your loss with African land.
IC:
Today CRME troops, after the cession of Greece, entered Greece, and have begun to take over forts there and now occupy the reigon, and the CRME officialy annexef Greece and Cyprus as CRME provinces..
OOC: What the f*ck, Bearcat? 1. Stay out of my business, no nation supports you. 2. Your war with Ecuidor is very unrealistic, not including the fact that you have to go through the Panama Canal, where most modern day ships cannot go through.
IC: To Peru:
Stop your threats. Maine was a state of the revolution just like the rest of the UDSA. The only reason that it couldn't sign the declaration of Independence was because no one from occupied Maine could go to the rest of the UDSA and stay alive.
The President denounces Peru's threats, and makes sure that the production of Light Frigates will be enough to destroy the transport.
To any nation:
We would like to buy some warships, preferably destroyers and cruisers.
To the UK:
Let's solve this peacefully: How would you like $35 billion to cede New Bruinswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland to the UDSA? Or maybe just New Bruinswick? Also, we would like to have a peace treaty. We do not want war with you anymore.

Ireland declares war on UK
Today, the General made this shocking announcement:
quote:
For seven hundred years, Britain has been the scourge of Ireland. They stole our language, they took away our right to exercise our traditions, they murdered our children and took our land, and they orchestrated a famine, ruthlessly slaughtering a million people.
Now things are different. Britain hanging by her fingers on the edge of a cliff, and we will stamp on them...
60,000 troops plunged into enemy territory. With religious fervour, they smash and destroy anything echoing the British presence. Tanks blast forward across the glens, firing on anything that moves. Resistance has been strong, particularly from loyalist traitors, and many troops have been killed in the carnage. The resistance from the British troops has been admirable, they have not turned their tail and ran at the sight of such a stampede. However better trained the British troops are compared to the Irish recruits, simple mathematics dictates the end of Britain's resistance soon.
In Derry, with troops closing in only tens of miles away, the IRA is enjoying an easier time, as more and more troops are forced to the front line. The morale of the Catholic majority of the city is high, as they know their liberation is nigh.
On the banks of the Lagan, Belfast is descending into chaos. Certain numbers of loyalists are cramming into the port, hoping to leave before the troops arrive. This would be beneficial to the Irish plan, as otherwise, they would reduce the city to ruins... Chaos rules supreme in the streets, as the army move south and west to the real battles.
In the Republic, security in Dublin and other major cities has been tightened by the remaining force. Expecting a re-invasion, the navy patrols the Irish Sea. The air corps have been put on defensive alert, as its small numbers and the desire to keep Belfast intact prevent airstrikes, but it is a considerable force for the RAF to contend with in such an area. The invading army has many anti-air missiles, and the RAF has few tactical bombers in the North.
The holy war of reunification looks like it will succeed.
UK
Surrender N.I. now, and thousands of lives will be saved. It will not save face to do otherwise. Please, I urge you, this is more important than your wish to have an empire.
OOC:
Mao, it has been a lot more succesful than you would think. And think who we are fighting..... there isn't a country in this world that hasn't been ****ed around with by the UK.
