Alright, let's get this game back revved up (or not). The Imperial army is preparing stores of... candy? The Imperial navy is coordinating... parties? The Imperial air force is practicing airstrikes of... building materials? What's going on? The Empire is planning a massive effort to earn the love and support of the Indian populace after invasion is underway. If they do not succeed, the Empire's occupation will be fraught with failure. New cruisers, corvettes and destroyers are being built. This is war, and mercy will be given. The Empire is pragmatic, but as kind as possible without compromising pragmatism. The Empire will give India respect. If they do not accept respect, then it will warn them. Then, if they do not listen they will be disciplined like an unruly child.
And finally, the pipeline's done, as well as the new aircraft carriers! The infrastructure too!= We can now invade India! Let the action begin. At 4:00 AM Indian time, the He-MaKiXi Empire declares war on India, citing Indian refusal to return Chinese territory. Due to communication failures, the message arrives at 6:00 AM. At 7:00 AM Indian time, the first wave of soldiers arrive via train. This was the true reason of the transportation network, to transport supplies quickly and to create an instant army. The Army had been conscripting for a while now, and reequipping. The 12-Million strong Imperial Army masses 5-Million strong at the Indian border. At 7:30 AM Indian time, the Imperial navy mobilizes to completely choke off India. No support can be allowed in. At 11:00 AM Indian time, the tanks and bombers arrive, and India begins to mobilize to defend. Unlike the heavily streamlined structure of the Empire, India is, if structurally sound rife with corruption. At 11:10 AM Indian time, Bombers completely rip apart any border defenses as tanks punch through any remaining resistance. The Infantry doesn't have to do anything. The sheer shock of having an army completely arrive and punch through all the border defenses in 7 hours is... traumatizing. But the truth? It took 3 years. Indian just didn't notice. In those 3 years, the Empire has essentially prepared unlimited oil and food transportation methods, and new and powerful weapons. The Empire completely ripped apart their bureaucracy and started anew. The Empire prepared to wage a war like lightning by sheer numbers and quality combined. At 12:00 AM Indian time, the attacks cease. Why? Lunch. They start back up At 12:40 AM Indian time. Troopships carrying almost a million troops start to move. The Empire has had prepared for three years. They are more than ready, and powerful. Any hope of air resistance is quickly destroyed when the mooks are stronger than many of your fighters. This is devastating, but the Empire can't, and won't celebrate yet. The Empire has got to gain as much ground as possible before India recovers from their shock. The more ground gained, a smaller front to hold. A bigger front means a bigger probability of failure. At 3:00 AM the next day, the Empire has a stable base of operations in India. It has been a hard day, with all 5 million troops hitting hard. They will attack in shifts. One half rests, one half hits. But it has gone well, beyond all expectation. They have a stable chunk of territory.
Nation Name: Trelet Acronym: TR Slogan: We Run on Dunkin' Participating States: Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania Main Exports: Logs & Lobster (Maine), Medication (Pennsylvania + Delaware), Aircraft engines (Connecticut), Gold (Massachusetts), Donuts (all states) Form of Government: Unitary State Map Colour: Lime Green
The UKNS has denounced the HKMX invasion of India, and has assembled a war cabinet, led by Winston Churchill himself. Conscription has been enacted and an army of 19 million, made up of British, Irish, Norwegians, Swedish, Danish, and Germans will be ready in 10 posts. The navy, with 5 of its 7 aircraft carriers, has been deployed to the Indian ocean and will arrive in 5 posts. A blockade will also be set up in Constantinople in 3 posts, blocking Western Russia from all kinds of imports. The HKMX will back down from Indian annexation, or there will be war.
Trelet wishes to aid the UKNS in case of war between them and HKMS. Meanwhile, we have sent a box of 120 assorted donuts to the United North and asked to ally with them.
TUN accepts an alliance with Trelet and hopes the future will be bright with the two countries, although TUN doesn't fully understand Trelet's donut obbsession. (out of game) OP, can you add Trelet to the map and mark hawaii as a TUN state? Thanks.
Dunkin' Donuts is the largest business and largest salesmaker in our region. They also give Trelet the largest amount of tax money. Trelet proposes a highway connecting Scranton, Pennsylvania and New Haven, CT (both in Trelet territory) but the road would have to go through New York. The design we provide the United North would go directly east entering New York at Port Jervis and exiting east of Brewster. Construction would take approximately 4 pages and all funds & workers will be provided by TR. Does the United North accept? Trelet has created a boat route between Newburyport, MA and York, ME so that people can go between the two areas. It departs every odd hour from York and every even hour from Newburyport. Trelet has done a census of our residents. Here are the figures: Pennsylvania has about 10 million residents Massachusetts has about 4.25 million residents Connecticut has about 1.8 million residents Maine has about 850,000 residents Delaware has about 300,000 residents The entire nation of Trelet has about 17,200,000 residents, 1.5% of which (258,000) are already enlisted in the military, and another 35% of which (6,020,000) would be physically fit to join the military if needed.
TUN sends large units of tanks and infantrymen into Vermont. 800 tanks, and 30,000 men with air support. Before invasion though, the UNAF planned to cause no destruction or cause any fighting, the invasion is planned to be swift and unlock key advances for TUN.
Invasion started early in the morning, with a fraction of the army entering Newport from northern Canada, and a fraction of the army entering through the east from New York. Entering the border was swift, although after news of the break-in, the Vermont military forces acted fast. The Vermont military sent multiple airstrikes on United North forces, killing 43. Shortly afterwards, Vermont troops rushed to threatened cities to defend, although they held off United North troops for a while, TUN quickly swept through. With the bombing of land units from Vermont, TUN sends their special F-86 Sabers to intercept the small amount of aircraft Vermont owns, and allows for UNRAF bombers to make their way inland. In one day, UNAF made huge improvements and massive leaps through Vermont, although the Vermont military retaliated and gave it their best. In the end, both sides suffered casualties. United North: 103 dead 557 wounded 12 military vehicles destroyed 1 aircraft destroyed Vermont: 568 dead 1,033 wounded 36 military vehicles destroyed 6 aircraft destroyed So far, TUN has control over the east side of Vermont, and the north. They are getting closer to the capital every day, although Vermont troops are expected to surrender.
Ha ha, UKNS. Try it. The Empire dares you. This ain’t a game of troops anymore, UKNS. It’s a game of weapons that can hit anywhere. The idea of the V2, realizing its full potential. The Empire will rain death from the sky while not moving a single soldier. MRBM Model: “Right hand of God” Straddling the boundary between ICBMs and MRBMs, this weapon, if expensive is highly accurate and reliable. Things went really well with the Missile research. The Empire is 2 years ahead of schedule. Miniaturized Nuclear Warhead Model: “Hammer Down” 80 Kiloton Yield. Plutonium boosted weapon. Minaturized. These two weapons are a deadly combination, acting togther to be nigh-unstoppable to current air defenses. Please. Try it. The Empire dares you. They created Fensuo ships for a reason. (This marks the release of Imperial MRBM and SRBM capability, as well as how close they are to ICBMs.) FYI, here’s the two fensuo ship models created and serving in India right mow. Resolute-Class Fensuo Ship: 4,000 tons displacement standard load. 33 knots maximum speed, extensive anti-aircraft weaponry, to the point of hindering capability. Considered both flaw and advantage. 6 16cm guns placed at various points around the ship. While depth charges and torpedoes are not lacking, they are mediocre at best. This ship is extremely heavily armored, and has many defensive features, to protect against bombs. It is designed to create distractions against enemy fighters and drain carriers of their ability to fight. Reliable-Class Fensuo Ship: 4,500 tons displacement standard load. 29 knots maximum speed, anti-aircraft weaponry sufficient. While there are only 2 14-centimeter guns, the ship serves as a devastatingly effective missile platform, and Imperial missiles are frighteningly accurate. If Reliable-type ships launch 10 missiles, 5 will hit its target, and remember how far away and how small of a target 1 ship is. In addition, the missiles are very cheap while the ship is not. These are long-range and serve precisely as an aircraft-carrier killer, designed to counter newfangled ships. Lastly, these are the aircraft carriers that will be done eventually and serving. Feather-Class Aircraft Carrier. 12,000 tons displacement standard load. 32 knots maximum speed, 32-fighter capable. This is a light aircraft carrier with some AA firepower. These things are fairly easy to build, and taking 1 year, this will be for now the primary aircraft carrier of the Empire. The Empire ordered 12 of them. So confident now? The Empire is massive. UKNS will bleed itself out before they can take the western half of the Empire, never mind the east.
TUN wants The Empire to know that going into war with the UKNS would have to result in another war in the Pacific. We would hate for this to happen, and we feel like our relationship is gripping tighter, although we will not tolerate aggression between our allies, and any war would mean the death of you. We may seem like a weakling, but do not underestimate our vast control over the waters and the North. TUN begins blueprinting mega battleships. This will finish in 5 posts
The Empire doesn’t need the sea. It can simply crush enemies from very far with missiles. In addition, the preliminary naval invasion force, while India was distracted has established a base. The E-1 fighters, pride of the Imperial air force, greatest aircraft of its time, paves the way. The Imperial tank decimated any resistance. Candy, food and water is distributed to Indian civlians. Using the beachhead, E-1 and MiG-15 fighters, both ahead of their time, fly into and refuels in the base. Nearly 800 jets have gathered there, to defend against UKNS. The Empire hopes UKNS can understand that this is no longer a bluff. (Out of game: The Empire is not bluffing. They are nearly as capable as they claim. The nearly part coming from the fact their nuclear arsenal is not all that impressive. But yes, they are technologically and resource-wise capable of what they claim, other than the part about nukes.) The Empire can really wage war without moving a single soldier. The Empire likes it when UKNS does not make threats, and instead maintains peace, so let’s keep doing that, shall we?
You can stay far away and keep throwing missiles, but interceptors are a thing, and what do you do when it's time to face a ground invasion? You cannot use missiles forever
LASTLY. Despite all its showboating, the Empire fears UKNS. 60 Missiles loaded with warheads are pointed at various points within the nation, within secret bunkers in Russia. The Empire wants not war.
Break the will. Cripple the enemy. Move in for the kill. Lastly, the Empire has spent years creating missiles. The Ballistic missiles are nearly immune to current defenses.
Trelet issues many military recruitment advertisements and our military increases by 0.25% meaning the Trelet military is now comprised of 301,000 members (43,000 more than our previous census). --Next post is begin of 1949?
