Lelouch Vi Britannia

Britannian Response With the Israel deal called off Britannia has agreed to withdraw from previous agreements. However, Britannia will not at this current time hold any hostile relations towards Israel for the time being. Changes are expected to be made, and Britannia suggests that another attempt could be made in the future once the Soviet Union and Israel have solved their own regional issues. Something Britannia has no business in at this moment in time.

Mt. Fuji District Just as the opposing forces fired on Britannian fortifications Britannia retaliated by firing their artillery in the area where the enemy was suspected to be. Britannia while out-manned and trapped in a foreign land was not gonna give up without having the enemy pay dearly. The high altitude outposts Britannia was able to have in their control fielded spotters for Britannia's artillery. While Rokkenjima were approaching, Britannia would fall back to another line of defence, this time behind the Kise River. The idea was to use makeshift defences along key areas of the River where enemy vehicles or armour could cross. If they were in range they'd either mark them for the artillery or simply blow the bridge they were trying to cross from under them. Any way to cross the river would be mapped out and turned into a natural defence line. All this would occur while thousands of Britannian civilian workers, injured soldiers, and refugees would board Britannian ships to escape. These ships would do their best at signalling the fact that they are being used to help non-combatants escape. However, should they come under fire, they wouldn't hesitate to use their big guns to give the enemy a nice naval bombardment.

Mt. Fuji District The governor looked in the direction of Mt.Fuji and gave a light sigh as he looked back at the ships sending out smaller boats to allow the civilians to board. It would take some time, and with the attack already underway Britannian soldiers would have to pay the ultimate price to not only buy their own citizens time, but these refugees as well. It would not longer be certain if these soldiers or the governor himself would live to see Britannia again. "Britannian troops have already secured a perimeter around the district, they should hold the border long enough for everyone to escape. Mind the noise from the ships and I'll see you in another life." The governor gave him a light bow before making his way back to the sounds of war. Mt. Fuji District Report While Mt.Fuji District is a very important Britannian hold, it's danger of being lost was never an issue until recently. Due to the unfolding events of the Rokkenjima Civil War brewing Britannia was unable to bolster their garrison for the region. Thus 1000 soldiers were given the task to hold for as long as possible the district. While civilians evacuate the outer-rim would be held. Anywhere beyond would be loosely laced with mines while key roads and bridges leading into the area were blown up in preparation for the inevitable attack. The only bridge being kept would be the Shinkansen. However, this bridge as well would be pre-marked for destruction should it ever come near to falling into enemy hands. Multiple mortar teams and artillery pieces did exist and were placed in other pre-determined areas to allow for maximum effectiveness should an enemy being to approach the major cities in the Mt. Fuji district. West Defensive Line: Also known as the cities of Fuji and Fujinomiya. The city of Fuji serving as the first line of defense HQ along with Fujinomiya being concentrated with artillery pieces to fire at bridges and crossing enemies. Should the coast be lost the enemy would need to either attack from the north and through narrow roads in the mountains and hills where artillery would rain down on the enemy. The south while a lot more open is also a lot tougher to take with Britannia having a clear view of the enemy which allows for troops to counter any advances with a combination of artillery fire, and a bit of assistance from Britannian ships waiting to evacuate civilians. South Defensive Line: Also known as the cities of Numazu, Mishima, and Susono. These areas while a lot less defended are reinforced with 4 main entry points that are secured with checkpoints. The mountainous terrain backing the defenders to maximize the effectiveness of a small garrison. Of course, some artillery aiding in the defence from the city of Susono which would be able to fire in multiple directions all on pre-marked location. Should the cities be lost most of the defenders falling back to the mountains to fight from the high-ground. A lot less defended, but also a lot more hostile aided with the terrain and minefields also layed out. North-East and East Defensive Lines Also known as the cities of Gotemba and Fujiyoshida. While these cities are on the border the only passable roads have been secured with checkpoints and minefields. Due to the fact most of the artillery rested on the other side of the district, these areas were backed up with more crude defenses and mortars. Every 100 meters a wall of sandbags, barbed wire, and anti-tank obstacles. While all the cities had these defensives, these more northern cities had multiple layers to force an enemy into a near line to be fired upon from mortar fire from within the city. Most, if not all of the cities being extracted first and thus seeing the highest concentration of soldiers at around 550. The idea of defence would be simple. Defend the border to buy as much time as possible, minimum casualties expected. Once the border has been breached, back into the cities for Urban Combat and guerilla warfare to inflict as many enemy casualties as possible for as long as possible. High casualties expected. This would be the end game, holding the cities would be the key to holding control over the district. The great mountain itself would not be armed at all nor would it destroyed. Instead, entry points to the mining of sakuradite would be blown up and hidden to insure the valuable resource is somewhat protected. Britannian troops would be joined by an unknown amount of the local population and armed with spare supplies. But, there would be no escape, hold out for as long as possible. This would be the Battle for Mt.Fuji District

Mt.Fuji District The governor upon hearing this took a small hit from his pipe as he looked at the people behind him and then towards to the docks. "If they attack at sun down we will be able to get out all the civilians and soldiers. We also won't allow the witches an easy win to taking the district." He chuckled as he walked around a bit observing the situation. "Hong Kong you say? I'll make sure we set course as soon as the ships arrive, as they are." he stopped for a second pointing to the silhouette in the distance. "Here to save us all. Get your people to the docks."

Mt. Fuji District The soldiers eyed each other as the man came closer. However, the Britannian governor left the safety of his troops to approach the man who had so boldly approached the soldier. The man gave a light smile and held out his hand for a handshake. "If you are willing to sacrifice you life for others, I will be willing to help. We will do our best to keep you and these people safe while our evacuation arrives. Inform them to not approach the border, and we will send troops to secure their flank." the man finished before twirling his 'opium pipe'. The name is Kei Sakura, Britannia's former Japanese Govenor and current Mt. Fuji district governor.

If you have any comments towards the War System please post them under the war system The units have been priced putting into the idea of balance not realism as this is after all a game. The budget for new nations is 200 billion. For the moment (and subject to change) older nations have a 50 billion difference, but that is subject to change.

Official Britannian Response If the UPSA wishes to establish a foothold in Canada and/or the US Britannia is willing to negotiate. However, we need to understand what the UPSA's plan is first and foremost. This means a clear layout of what expansions can and will be expected is required from the UPSA to convince Britannia we can work with the UPSA in this area. While military installations are a touchy subject, we are willing to break ground first and see where things go before we agree to anything serious.

Mt.Fuji District The soldiers maintained their positioning. "Do not move, if you move you will be shot! Our orders are to evacuate Britannian civilians first and foremost. If you wish to evacuate please wait for more Britannian Ships to arrive. If you approach any further we will be forced to open fire. This is your only warning." The soldiers didn't move and maintained their composure. The governor of the district took a megaphone to also add in his input to the group. "We aren't looking for intel, we are trying to escape with as few casualties as possible. Don't make this harder for anyone. Once aid arrives we will insure everyone is able to leave, if an enemy force does arrive we will relocate you and do our best to defend you. For the moment, bring forth your leader so we may discuss evacuation procedures." The Britannian frigate sent to aid in the evacuation was closing in to aid the district as time drew closer and closer. With more and more reports of civilians fleeing, Britannia sent 2 transport ships and 2 Cruisers to aid in the evacuation as well. These extra ships would allow more civilians to flee, but at a small time cost.

Mt.Fuji District It wouldn't be Britannia's first time on the opposite end of a Rokkenjima rifle, prior experience would be a double-edged sword. Lelouch knowing the devious nature of the Witches and in particular Eva-Beatrice would be tricky to counter-predict. Nonethless, Britannia had already dispatched their frigate to aid in the extraction of Britannian from Mt. Fuji. Alongside this, Britannia had issued the "Shoot-On-Sight" order to any and all Rokkenjma personal who approach the Mt.Fuji district including civilians. The District would only need to hold out for a few hours for reinforcements to arrive. With the early departure and setup thankfully buying Britannia precious time Mt.Fuji would be prepared for the attack. Multiple layers of defence, border patrols and traps layed out in preparation for a brutal fight. The order would be broadcasted over the district, both to bolster the morale of the Britannians, and attempt to turn away Rokkenjima. This would be the ultimate test for the Mt.Fuji district. Meanwhile at the border a shout was heard near the border. The sizeable force following the sound put the source of the noise on the spotlight. "By order of his majesty, Emperor Lelouch you are considered a threat!" This call was followed by multiple troops taking a firing stance and preparing to fire their arms as well as call in mortar support. Overkill did not exist at a time like this.

Ambassador's Office "At the end of the day our fight against communism is only for when it poses a threat to Britannia or her interests. What the Arabs wish to do is what the Arab's wish to do. Should there be a time they are oppressed or there is a threat we will consider it. However, the deal at our table isn't completely off. We're willing to work alongside Israel if the time comes that the threat becomes grave." He sipped the rest of his drink before putting it down gently as he relaxed.

Mt.Fuji District With reports of Rokkenjima's riots turning deadly and the threat of the Britannian controlled Mt. Fuji district in the heart of this conflict reports were going back and forth between Pendragon and the Mt. Fuji district. While the 1,000 man garrison have moved to full combat readiness plan have also been put into place to attempt to either evacuate or get in contact with the Witch Council to get an explanation. For the time being both Mt.Fuji District and Pendragon have been attempting to contact the witch council to get an explanation or at the very least secure the Mt.Fuji district from the conflict that has essentially started. The civilian population and workers have already begun to prepare for evacuation, this evacuation while has to destination, would be out of reach from Rokkenjima. To aid in the extraction 1 Britannian Cruiser has been sent from Britannia to aid in the mission. While reports are still coming in, the Mt.Fuji district has been closed to all traffic except Britannian, all travel to Rokkenjima and from has also been closed, and efforts to extract Britannian civilians has begun. Any citizens should report to the Mt. Fuji district as soon as possible with proper ID and avoid public places. More updates will follow.

Ambassador's Office The ambassador gave a feint smirk as he sipped his drink listening to the Queen as she spoke. Once she had finished her proposal the ambassador put down his drink and paused for a moment before speaking. "While I will pass this onto his majesty, I should let you know Britannia has closer relations to the Arabs of the Middle East. Since we overthrew Abu Haddad and his extremist regime Britannia and the Arabs are closer than your own country at this moment. We don't see any reason to pursue terrorists that have no quarrel with us. Doing so only puts our country at risk, I'm sure you understand." the ambassador gestured to the defunct Britannian-Arabian flag of the Crescent Moon and the Britannian coat of arms in place of the star.

Ambassador's Office With the wave of a hand the ambassador tells the guards to leave the room as they close the door behind them. They keep watch and listen just in case for any signs of attack but also to remain alert. The ambassador pulls out a drink and pours himself a glass before offering it to the Queen who remained seated infront of him. His expression was simple, after all it was the former Arabian/Turkish governor for Britannia who was accustomed to the land around him. "What is it that brings you to my humble office?" asked the ambassador to break the silence.

Statement from The Holy Britannian Empire With Covid-19 now becoming a new threat to global health Britannia has begun their own initiative to combat it before it spreads too much. This comes to the forefront of politics as a handful of workers in the Mt.Fuji district of Britannia have tested positive while spending their time in Rokkenjima. A handful of resolutions have been proposed and have only recently passed approval that will aim to combat the virus, but also protect Britannia and their interests with the healthcare they need. 1. Britannia will dispatch a team of doctors and other health-workers to Rokkenjima and Mt.Fuji district to both combat and observe the Virus to hopefully create a cure. Pending approval from Rokkenjima 2. Britannia will be increasing taxes by 1% in order to increase the pay of health-workers who will be working a lot more to combat the virus as well as other precautions that will be put into place to prevent an outbreak. 3. Testing for the virus will now be put into place at all entry points into the country. 4. Intentionally hiding the virus or spreading it will result in a fine and imprisonment 5. Britannian citizens in Rokkenjima will have the option to temporarily reside in the Mt.Fuji district during the outbreak, spots to be pending availability and can't be guaranteed.

BREAKING NEWS Britannia and the Venezuelan De-Facto Government have signed into law the transfer of the Caracas region to Britannia in exchange for help with controlling and combating rebels around the area. This was also upgraded to maintaining a strong stance on smuggling of weapons into the region that have been shipped from around the world. The signing event went without any major disruptions due to the heavy presence of security. This has provided citizens with a bit of hope to see the end of terror from cartels, rebels, and other illegal organizations.

Britannian-Israeli Embassy The Britannian ambassador to Israel waited in his office for the person who had made an appointment to meet with him. He had guards waiting outside his office to let her in as he prepared his office for the meeting. Two glasses remained on the table one for the ambassador and one for the guest that were prepared for her arrival. The guards also waiting for her to be let in once she arrives.

BREAKING NEWS With the formal signing to establish Britannian control of Caracas more chaos begins to ensue in the area mainly aimed to rally rebels in the country before Britannian troops and equipment arrives. Many agencies working with Britannia believe these are aimed to kick-off revolts and cause Venezuela to back out of the deal. Despite this, Britannia once again making their stance clear on the rebels has not changed. The most recent event being a small cargo ship refusing to stop to Britannian ships for inspection. Despite warning the ship that any continued advances will be met with deadly force the ship was fired at by a Britannian destroyer sinking the ship and killing nearly everyone onboard. It is unclear if there were any survivors as no reports have come out of either Britannia or Venezuela.

BREAKING NEWS With Britannian troops beginning to land in Caracas the entire coastal area has been on high alert in defence of Britannia's maneuvers around the Americas. A new order has been put into place that all trade vessels doing business near Britannia will be subject to searches. This is due to the fact that with the collapse of multiple governments in the area, the issue of illegal funding will now be at the forefront of politics. Britannia will show mercy to those who surrender, while those who refuse will be targeted and taken down with any force deemed fit by Britannia.

A reply from The Holy Britannian Empire Britannia formally rebukes the statements made by Israel towards Britannia. We also call upon Israel to understand the situation at hand before making such claims towards Britannia. While the actions are seen as aggressive and not peaceful whatsoever. It should be acknowledged that a communist nation that doesn't allow basic freedoms to it's citizens just by existing on the doorstep of a free country is a threat. Instead, Britannia has spared civilians and has paved the way to free millions of innocents to pursue their dreams. If anything Britannia's war will open the door to a more peaceful world.

BREAKING NEWS At 10:00 pm, a mere 2 hours before Britannia's ultimatum was set to expire and a bombardment would commence the Cuban government has made their reply. With no immediate relief force, and for the lives of those in Havana, the Cuban government has surrendered unconditionally to The Holy Britannian Empire. This would signal the absolute control of North America to now fall under the Britannian Empire. We expect peace terms to be drawn up shortly, and at the moment an occupation force has already left Britannia and is embarking to Cuba to maintain control and get the country up and running once again but as a province of Britannia. Some military vessels are already being redirected to maintain control of Cuba, while others are being used to deploy troops into South America for control of the Caracas following the collapse of their government.

Operation Flames "If there's anything that I know, is that what happens today will change the world. No matter the casualties of war, nor the justifications to wage war will matter in this day and age. I will give the people what they want. I will give our country a new beginning and I will be reborn. There is nothing you can do to stop me." "Dios y Federación" One suicide attack engineered behind the scenes would set the stage for Venezuela to succumb to a new player. The above were the last words of a suicide bomber who was able to broadcast his message to the country before killing himself and a large portion of the government who were held hostage. This attack while labeled a terrorist attack by Rebels has now placed the country into the hands of the military and whats left of the government. However, the current General of the military in Venezuela in a shocking move was able to convince the rest of his staff to hand over a large portion of control to Britannia. After reaching out to the military based not too far away in their invasion of Cuba, the agreement would dictate absolute control of capital and surrounding area to Britannia with the rest of the country to be controlled by the de-facto government. This would allow the government to run the country underneath a Britannian umbrella. This comes as a huge shock to the world as no previous reports were made and the sudden change seems very drastic. However, Britannia troops and ships have already left Britannia and made their way to the coast in order to secure their newfound control of the area. It's unknown what is next for the country, but a press release from various members from Britannia and Venezuela is expected to begin within the week. :Classified: 3 Days Prior "You will await my orders, once these words are spoken you will remember your service to me. Act accordingly to the plan and rest assured the pieces will fall into place." The man spoke to another man hidden in the darkness, his expression blank as he lifted his head to face the man who was speaking, all he said in reply was "Yes, your highness."

Operation Castille D+3 "The amount of armour that landed played a major role in the invasion of Cuba, we are now seeing pockets of resistance and checkpoints being ran through." said one of the officers as he briefed Suzaku aboard one of Britannia Capital Ships. "In addition to this, because of the lack of resistance we have been able to advance up to and surround Havana completely. We expect to hear back from them by midnight." he finished as Suzaku nodded gazing out the window seeing the coast of the city from the ship. Britannia had surrounded the capital of Cuba within three days thanks to their blitz on both sides of the capital. While Cuban militia have put up a fight, the military capabilities have been smashed leaving the city nearly without outside reinforcements. While no shelling has taken place on the city itself Britannia has made it very clear they are very well capable of causing mass casualties if the city doesn't surrender to the invading army.
