Yeah, but not like this HMKX finds term 1 complete and utter nonsense. The Empire has a plan. HMKX will simply park outside Israel. Palestine will e taken back, because HMKX has one advantage TUN doesn't. It has a lot more bodies. But Israel itself will not be attacked. Palestine shall be liberated, and than we can talk. MANPADS and Surface-to-Air missiles are being prepared in large numbers to shoot down TUN jets. HMKX is stockpiling artillery shells, hundreds of times more than TUN, this is because of a difference in doctrine. The E-4-AC2, the F-18's counterpart, has been found to be its equal in combat in trials. The TO-4 is being massed, as the TO-4 has an advantage over the M1 Abrams in large-number engagements. So far all we've seen are isloated desert cases; TO-4 shines in massive battles. But TUN doesn't know that, they are far too confident in their own tanks. The HMKX Air Forces reserves, now up to nearly 37,000 jets, is being readied for a showdown.
UFOS has started working on a new type of nuclear energy to help power our ships research will be done in 4 years
[CLASSIFIED: TUN is moving a Ballistic missile arsenal to Italy, and Malaysia. 3 Ohio Ballistic Submarines, 2 equipped with the UGM-96 Trident missile with 8 W76 100kt warheads. The other is equipped with BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles which are equipped with W80 Nuclear Warheads are being moved into the Mediterranean. 20 Minute-Men III's equipped with the W-87 at 300kt. They will reside in pre-built Italian missile silos. At Malaysia 2 SSBN Ohio Ballistic submarines carrying yields of 8 100kt W76 warheads. The missiles won't be shot at The Empire, maybe... not now atleast...] Israel is HEAVILY equipping their borders and the West Bank with Air-Surface Missiles to combat a possible Empire invasion. Thousands of aircraft is being prepared for an Empire invasion, as well as thousands of tanks. 4,000 Artillery and Rocket Artillery units are being lined up, ready for war. The defensive situation in Palestine and Israel is insanely tough. In other news, TUN has started mass construction of fallout shelters in the homeland (I don't know if I already said it, but its important). TUN propelled multiple long ranged cruise missiles into a Turkey fleet, destroying 3 of their vessels and leaving the 4 that were left damaged. The scuffle was a success and left only minor damage to a UN destroyer.
Chandragupta and Turkish vessels have attacked and sunk several TUN vessels in retaliation. There is a buildup of forces near the Palestinian border. HMKX signals to TUN that they will negotiate for peace after they liberate Palestine, and will not invade Israel. HMKX is well aware of a Nuclear War's possibility, and is confident with all the Paratech they obtained from the deals with "God" that humanity will survive a Nuclear War. They've built lots of fallout shelters and is continuing to build them in large numbers, far more than TUN ever has or ever will. That's really the best they can do, isn't it?
The FRNS Prime Minister has affirmed that the FRNS is at war with Turkey for attacking an EC member, and is neutral in the wider TUN-HMKX conflict. In fact, they support Palestine and the HMKX in this regard. As such, they will not dispatch any troops to Israel, and are instead focused on the offensive against Turkey. Speaking of, Turkey has almost been pushed out of Greece. After this, they will flood over the Bulgarian border and the Gallipoli offensive will accelerate, linking the two fronts up and pushing into Istanbul.
To finally put a damn end to the Suez Canal that The Empire keeps retaking, a UGM-96 which had a yield of 800kt was launched from an Ohio Class Ballistic Submarine into the Suez Canal. The explosion was detrimental and left UN-REPAIRABLE damages. Over an estimated 2,000 Empire/Egypt soldiers were killed in the explosion, along with 18 Empire Vessels. The SAMS were unable to take the missile down in time, and thus destruction was huge. After the bomb dropped, a multitude of cruise missiles was deployed and killed another 50 soldiers and heavily damaging an Empire cruiser. The canal is now said to be inoperable, the area where the bomb hit will cause high levels of radiation and debris. Repairing the damages would take up multiple years or more, and with the high radiation levels and the now frequent air attacks from TUN, repairing it could take a huge amount of time and work. TUN began sending hundreds of aircraft to destroy The Empire's attack. The first attack was a success, but the second was not. Both sides lost a lot of life as well as aircraft. The F-18 could somewhat easily sweep up the new E-4 Variant, but multiple against an F-18 is a different story. The overwhelming presence of The Empire and their army forced a retreat, but not without a hole in The Empire's attack. Palestine will not fall into Empire hands, if they want it, they can come and get it, OR, they could save maybe over 100,000 innocent lives by agreeing to the new Palestinian/Israel borders agreed to by NPAT. 900,000 UN soldiers stand strong and well trained in Palestine, ready for an Empire attack. 400,000 IDF soldiers defend Israel and Occupied Palestine with heavy amounts of defences and artillery and SAMS, ready for an attack. 58,000 soldiers of other NPAT nations aid in the defence. Jordan has over 200,000 TUN personnel stationed in their borders, TUN has repelled from Iraq. TUN is superior in Naval units in the Mediterranean.
TUN has begun a military draft of United North citizens. (I don't know why I didn't do this sooner) The military will start expanding drastically. It currently sits at 1.2 million active Personnel and 500,000 reserved
Turkey has been pushed out of Greece. The Gallipoli campaign has increased its efforts exponentially, storming up the beaches with an intent to actually succeed. They hope to link up with the campaign pushing into Eastern Thrace by the middle of 1986.
Any attempt to take Istanbul shall be obliterated by 5,000,000 HMKX troops and several Supercarriers. Do not advance to Istanbul, Turkey will negotiate a peace and stop attacking Greece. HMKX has recieved a communication confirming this from the Turkish Authorities confirming this. NPAT shall not rob Palestine of their lands, nor will they deprive Palestine of its ability to defend itself. HMKX will defend Palestine, and Palestine shall defend itself. But the Suez Canal is, fow now unrepairable. HMKX is angry TUN keeps launching Nukes, and has launched 2 "Crippler" Class warheads at 1kt blast power to an empty field as a warning. HMKX will launch Nukes as well if TUN keeps doing it. Stop launching Nukes. HMKXS Sejong the Great and HMKXS V. has finished, and along with HMKX's new Cruisers has sailed with a heavy escort out of the Black Sea. The newly produces Cruisers also give the other Supercarriers enough to sail with a powerful escort. They are spread out over the Mediteranean sea and have all been equipped with Antimissile systems.
Wasn't Instanbul bombed by crude nukes? If so, Istanbul should be fairly weak, and if the EC can establish itself in the city, they can close every entry and exit way for The Empire's Navy.
The FRNS says that it will stop its advance at the gates of Istanbul if it gets there. The 'if' meaning if Turkey negotiates peace with Greece first. If they haven't, they will have a few days after the army arrives at Istanbul to do so. If they continue to allow the war to go on, Istanbul will be stormed the moment the clock ticks down.
Turkey has agreed to go back to pre-war conditions with Greece and to allow HMKX to use the canal, after a fair bit of diplomatic strongarming on HMKX's part. HMKX wouldn't have allowed it anyway and would have thrown as many bodies in it as needed (like European Commonwealth is actively falling apart many), but it would be a bad idea to create more enemies. European Commonwealth can back down, please do not blockade Istanbul. If EC does, HMKX will sweep them up in a sea of blood. EC cannot afford to do this, HMKX can. HMKX dug a primitive Canal to transport their ships. It's enough, barely. Nuking it again would likely tick off both European Commonwealth and HMKX Empire, as it would kill troops on both sides. Artillery is being fired.
This is the final showdown. Nearly 1,800,000 HMKX Troops have massed at the border and the Supercarriers will provide air support on both sides of Palestine. Of course, 1.8 Million is only the first wave. HMXK is very much willing to throw another 4 or 5 million at it. Is TUN willing to? The Empire's assault has begun. TUN and HMKX jets clash in the sky, but neither side gains Air Superiority, although HMKX is very slowly outperforming TUN. HMKX Cruisers attack everywhere, but no solider advances. Not yet. A organ begins to sound. Then another, and another, forming a rain of death. It continues for weeks on end. TUN does not match up to it, they don't have the ammo. They had the ammo, for a week. But then they ran out. Lots of soldiers die because of sleep deprivation. Fortifications collapse into themselves after weeks of stress. And then the HMXK Army advances. TUN is well trained, and kills many. Their defenses are strong. But it is useless, MANPADS shoot their backup out of the sky. And all the while, the pounding bombs from the Flying Apocalypse destroying everything it touches. HMKX does not seem to fear death. This is incorrect, HMKX simply has many reserves and an effective system of combat medics and ferrying out of battle. HMKX can afford to have soldiers injured or die. This is a luxury not many have. They carve into TUN, a slow wave of death. It is the same routine, artillery and charges all along the line. There is only one strategy: Push. Push until they break, we have reserves. This sets the stage for the largest tank battle in history, nearly 1,000 TO-4 units vs 1,100 M1 Abrams. The result is really a draw, though strategically a HMKX victory because numbers. The TO-4 units performed better in teams and had better geography, but the M1s outnumbered them well. But the work is not over yet, no side has air superiority. It's almost like Nazis vs Soviets, in a slower, larger, and more brutal fashion. And we all know how that ended.
The European Commonwealth has stood down. Troops are going home and the constitutional article has been revoked, reverting the independent states to their regular operations. The European Commonwealth's military no longer exists. However, the EC believes it has shown the world it can make good on the protections it offers, and governments in non-member European countries are expressing renewed interest, especially with the Commonwealth emerging as bloc #3 amongst the TUN-HMKX dominated world. The FRNS has set its sights upon the TUN-HMKX conflict, however. They support the HMKX/Palestine against TUN/Israel and will watch from the sidelines. They do not agree with the TUN'S border proposals, nor do they like the fact that the United North has paralysed and destroyed the most important canal in the world, from which the FRNS gets a lot of its imports, especially from its colony of Indonesia, which it also has to send its navy to and from. The Prime Minister promises an intervention within the next twelve months if the war is still unresolved.
I agree with everything but this. The M1 Abrams is better than the TO-4 and could quite easily take them on 1 on 1, unless its a 3v1, then the odds are definitely in The Empire's favour. But this? You haven't even based the TO-4 on a real tank counterpart (at least a Soviet one) except you just said it was "similar" to the M1 Abrams. Even if you count geography, TUN tank crews and troops, in general, are better trained than The Empire, mainly because of how big The Empire's personnel count is compared to TUNs.
I like how UFOS has not been mentioned in anyones posts UFOS has finished the repairs to it's ship and are sending all of them back into the Fray
TUN's forces depleted and staggering at the Palestinian borders, decide to retreat and give Palestine to the Empire. TUN could keep fighting for months on end, but that would mean an entirely destroyed military. No one wants that, and thus The Empire and their 10 million strong militaries against the 1.3 million of TUN and Israel isn't enough. The Empire's strongest suit is *size* they have more people, and thus more factories, and thus more ammo and military equipment. The only thing that can destroy The Empire is a nuclear missile... or two... or maybe 20... Say it like this, TUN and IDF have retreated out of Palestine and give it up to The Empire. Jordan though... Oh my, Jordan and their government are getting a proper ass-whooping. Now with all Empire allies out of TUN hands, there is no point for The Empire to be fighting this war anymore. Now it's up to the prosecution of Palestine and Jordan's leaders who were responsible for the deaths of the President... I guess you could say the war IS over... What was gained? Not much, except for the capture of Palestinian and Jordan leaders, even if all land will be returned, it doesn't matter. Their leaders and the ones responsible for the killings of the Israel Economic Advisor and the President of TUN, as well as the killings of many innocent Israeli lives during the countless bombings done by the Palestinian military. The killings of those citizens were out of cold-blood, they shot rockets at schools, hospitals and then act like they are the victims once they are invaded and call for The Empire's help. The Empire, to Western Media can be seen as the supporter of a Palestinian regime responsible for the killings of hundreds of innocent Israelis, and the President of TUN. Nothing good comes from HMKX... The captured Palestinian and Jordan leaders will be executed in Israel via Firing Squad. After this, the Middle East won't be the same anymore. This is the start of a bloody war, a war which isn't even a declared war.
