"And what forces are we sure are will join us?"

"The Navy is totally with Ji-Guoming, but I believe a portion of the air forces, maybe as much as 25%, and about a third of the Army."

FRENCH TROOPS ARRIVE IN SE ASIA

HANOI (Reuters) - Today in Hanoi the French Foreign Legionairres landed. Resitance was light as the Legionairres poured out of landing ships and into the city. Much of the city was in chaos. Fighting between Chatichai and VRP soldiers had weakened any form of resistance that might be offered. However several regiments of DRSEA troops remained in Hanoi. The VRP factions in conflict jjoined up with the Legionairres. In downtown Hanoi fighting was the worse. Several sniper's nests, a 20 millimeter, and about 35 Chatichai troops clashed with about 50 Legionairres, and an AMX-30 E. In 15 minutes the Chatichai supporters had been defeated. However the fighting elsewhere was fiercer. By the end of the day the French flag flew over the capital building in Hanoi, however Chatichai soldiers still held large chunks of the city. Opération: Tigre Trou is expected to take at least one year to complete at the minimum.

CORSICAN BOMBERS CAPTURED

AJACCIO (Reuters) - Today in Ajaccio, the criminals responsible for the bombing incident were captured. It appeared that the group had never left the city. Instead they had been planning another strike. The second bomb would of been detonated at the French government building. The exact location that the bomb was to be placed is being witheld from the public, however had it gone off the casualty count would have been extensive. The group is an un-named Corsican seperatist movement that demands freedom for Corica from France's "tyranny".

Mossad Active Cel in Tokyo...

To: DrSEA

Someone, we don't know who, is planning something in China. Wether it be an assasination or coup, we don't know. We're good at spying but people keep their secrets as secrets.

Anyway, we think that this information is vital to your war effort. If it's a coup and a inner war will break out, god knows what will happen. Maybe you will have the power to annex part of China if you are succesful?

Anyway, we know that there will be a big mess in China soon.

THE IMPORTANT thing is:

Our smugglers can rendez-vous with your men somewhere near the Chinese-DRSEA border.
We will have at least 10 times more weaponry to give you, and another 50 Mossad specialists to help you train your men and such.

-Mossad Tokyo Commander
"your business is our business"
-Mossad Motto
