The French Armee de L’espace had positioned themselves on hilltops and ridges providing 360 vision over the vast opens fields of the planet. The locals had been angered by the seizure of the Agrocite mines which were vital to the local economy, but also the imperial government. They had sent an army group of 30,000 to capture the mines with deadly force. The 30,000-Strong Imperial Army would face off against a smaller 3,500 French Army Brigade. The Brigader-General moved her lecrec tank regiments forward to aid the Mechanized VBL unit as they held a defensive posture. The forward outposts would retreat to the hilltops of the Mountain Range. Supply vehicles moved forward and artillery crews prepared timely cover and supporting roles to the troops falling-back and holding the lines.

France is a powder-keg waiting to blow - Jean-Marie Defterios Surrounded by Monarchs in Austria, Germany, Great Britain, and Hungadada and Communist influences in the East, France has been a powder-keg united by a democratic society. However, as the years of conflict are behind a new energetic and nationalistic youth that want the restoration of an aging monarch or to join the communist entente and revive the dead concept of the French Commune. As France moved into a new decade, unemployment remained high at 4.2%. Many are disconnected with the Government they see as an extension of failures from the Conservative Party. President Korczak although popular has had a sharp decline from 54% approval amongst youth to a meager 37%. Only time will tell if France will return on its imperial past or if it will join its ghostly past of communism. Will France be led by a President, Emperor, or Chairman...Only time will tell. -- OOC: I am certain many are more than happy to jump at this situation which is intended to allow a prolonged RP experience. If you want your side to turn out on top, then RP it. The more you RP the more fun, but also how much your preferred side is given an advantage.

The French Generals and Government Officials watches the simulations. The President of the Senat was very astonished. He went as far as to thank Paris Dynamic™'s for their latest innovation in Military Technology. The simulation had accurately played a political scenario at the Senat. None of the members of the Senat were aware, but their vote was a mimic of the virtual scenario to see its realism. With a slim difference, the Senat vote was an overwhelming majority to war. The Actual military conflict took a total of several weeks with an estimated 3,000 french casualties and 6,000 German casualties. In 50.38% of the simulations, France turned out victorious and in 49.62%, German was victorious. The data was stunning and the next couple of weeks would see real-life tests and analysis combing through data.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Maximilien Orwell 180,000 members of the French Armed Forces geared up for one of the largest airborne assaults and coordinated attack since the start of the twenty-first century. One-sixth of the French Armed Forces would participate in Operation Revanche. Operation Revanche Belligerents French Republic North German Confederation Commanders and leaders Lidia Korczak Laura Chauve Alex Sazaki Diane Kruger Theresa May Leo Pascal Zafri Zackery Strength Initially: 180,000 800 Tanks 600 IFV 400 AFV 40 SPG 200 Towed Artillery 60 F-17 80 Rafale 2 F-20 25 Blackhawks 6 VTOLS 12 Tigers 2 Aircraft Carriers 6 Destroyers 4 Submarines 1 Nuclear Submarine 4 Frigates Initially: Casualties and losses The Operation shall consist of three major attacks. In the North, the Marine will deploy its ships to Amsterdam and the Northern German Coast where 20,000 Marines will launch an amphibious assault on Germany. While those Marines are preparing, 40,000 Paratroopers will launch an airborne landing on the entire Southern German region where 60,000 soldiers with armor support will roll in through Bavaria and head into Southern Germany where Paratroopers are expected to control major bridges, railroads, and crossroads. The Operation will begin in under 48 hours, within the next 24 hours the French S.O.G. RM6 and DGSE will covertly drop into German territory to mark key military installations. They will be our eyes on the ground until in 27 hours the Satellites will survey the border and uses infrared-lens with UAV assistance to scan for heat signatures and areas emitting large amounts of energy. After 48 Hours, the French Airforce will send in F-17s with ECR and Jammers to assist the Rafales and Troop Transports as they escort the eleven airborne brigades to Sectors Arc, Briggate, Charlie, Douve, Effle and Fox where they shall move to capture key strategic zones. The Army will move into Bavaria, we expect low if any resistance from Bavarians. If the Army Divisions are held up, the Marine invasion will be moved by 12-hours to support the Airborne troops. We will push the enemy until we reach the Savior Line and from there we can see if the Germans will accept terms of peace or if they continue to fight. Heavy Artillery will support the Army as they move to support the Paratroopers and Aircrafts will utilize the Strasbourg airport and airbase to launch airstrikes and provide air-cover. Anti-Air devices are deployed amongst each unit, however, for precautions, some anti-air systems are being deployed and we expect them to arrive in 72 hours. Thank you, General Kruger. The Senat has voted in-favor for war against Germany. I expect results none-less than victory. Thank you, Mr. President [President of the Senat] Godspeed.

Any unauthorized access to this document may result in capital punishment or prison time. The Elizabeth Project. Dear Prime Minister Chauve, The Elizabeth Project has been declassified by the Presidential Clearance Act/223/02. As such, EUROCOM has shared the contents of the Elizabeth Project. It is with utmost confidence that EUROCOM has tested the Armee de l'espace and Spatial Marine with its operations to Simocadia and Mercury. The Atmosphere of a majority alien inhabited world are breathable to humans and likewise, the conditions for military-grade devices to be used are present. In Simocadia, the Lecrec MBT and Tiger Helicopter have been deployed with success and face no major setbacks. We can assume that for most planets these conditions are close-enough to allow current equipment to be used. They are yet to be used in combat, however, we believe that with Project Jupiter the Railgun Program will eventually be turned into a mobile artillery unit to join the Armee de l'espace. The Armee de l'espace has been briefed on the covenant threat and likewise, the V.S.F. Napoleon is on the look for any Covenant Ships. While the V.S.F. Napoleon cannot engage the enemy fleet, a timely notice will allow the UNSC ample time to respond and prepare necessary deployments and evacuations. The Cheetah A1 will be joining the Armee de l'espace with 200 models of the tank having been produced already for the Armee de Terre. We also expect an increase of Chasseurs to 12,000 by the end of the year. With resources being discovered the Spatial Marine has both requested the V.S.F. Ceaser to help maintain the Simocadia Operations and Mercury Operations and the V.S.F. Kara to be able to reinforce either operation in a timely manner. The President believes that you Madame Prime Minister are most knowledgeable and most invested to help develop the French Space Expansion and such she has granted you the position of Chief of the United Branches of the Space Development Program. The roles of this position are immense and most prestigious and alongside the French Triumvirate at the United Nations Space Command, General May of NORTHCOM, General Kruger of EUROCOM, and Chief of the United Army of France's Space Force will be the pioneers of a new future for France.

The V.S.F. Napoleon rose slowly from its port in the classified advanced naval development base in the Arctic. The V.S.F. Napoleon was the first test of the Ceaser-Dreadnought Class of Starships for France. Under the thick winds of the Arctic, Capitan Maurice Dior a highly skilled and decorated officer of the French Marine. His new mission required the utmost of focus. Bridge of the V.S.F. Napoleon Commander on Deck! Commander Dior walked up the large fleet of steps onto the Bridge of his new ship. As the Napoleon flew into Orbit, it saw the stations and ships of the other Earth nations. The Napoleon's primary goal was to establish the shielding of key sectors inside Mercury to begin the terraforming of the planet. The Armee de l'espace diverted 3,500 of its Ground Forces complemented with 20 Foch-Interceptors, three Lecrec Tanks, and twelve Tiger Helicopters were transported by the Napoleon and delivered by the Ship's troop transporters to the surface of Simocadia. The Inner-rim planet was one of two sources of Agrocite, a rare mineral used to power the Napoleon's Turbo-Cannons and other armaments. The French Military had purchased some 2,000 tons of Agrocite, however, it was very expensive to purchase and the planet of Khorm had begun to stop its supply of Agrocite to France. The French Armee de l'espace was tasked with landing in the city of Simocadia with a diplomat to arrange the ownership of a handful of mines on the planet or to forcefully claim the mines and defend them at all costs. "Commander, Brigadier-General Lousie is hailing us from the surface.” “Roger, put her through Antione.” "Yes sir” A hologram of Brigadier-General Louise appeared in-front of Commander door. "Commander, it is good to see you." "Likewise Brigadier-General, what is the situation on the surface?” “Not good, there is heavy smoke erupting from the main city. I’ve sent some scouts to recon the area and report back, we’ve established control of two Agocite mines and I have our translator with platoon detachment surveying the local populous to find out information on the city and contract local workers.” “Very good Brigadier-General. I will take the rest of your troops on board the Napoleon and head to Mercury. It imperative you maintain control of the situation. If the situation deteriorates contact the ship immediately.” “Copy Commander, Viking-Actual out.” “May the stars guide us Louise.” “May the stars guide you back Dior.” The V.S.F. Napoleon jumped to light speed as it headed to Mercury. On the Planets surface, the French Armee de l’espace dropped troops to the surface to begin terraforming the planet. The device donated by the Resorian Government would allow the French Spatial Marine to begin terraforming the planet. It would cycle the carbon in the atmosphere and replace it with Oxygen eventually enriching the soil to provide provisions while cities are developed. Within two years the planet would become self-sustaining and an additional five to eight years the planet would drastically develop similar attributes on earth. The Napoleon would hover over the surface delivering supplies and occasionally check-ups by the senior command. The 2,400 strong crew and auxiliary 70 pilots ran exercises, pulse-ammunition live-exercises, and other simulations to ensure combat readiness. Inside Commander Dior’s private office, a message was awaiting him from the Bern Command Center.

"We choose to go beyond earth in this time and to complete what our grandfathers could not. We did this not because it was easy, but because they are hard and because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” - Prime Minister Laura Chauve Comandement Spatial des Nations Unies: Bern, France "Commander, As you are aware, this intelligence was brought to our attention by the Resorian Imperium. We can confirm, from Commander Mitya at the United Nations Space Command that this threat is of alien origin which is hell-bent on the destruction of humanity. Our best estimates are that this threat is capable of interstellar travel, has an arsenal of missiles and ship weaponry at a higher rate than those here in France, however, is quite lacking in ground armaments. Our scientific team at Luna Base is working with Resorians and we do know that they have a different hierarchal class system based their body structure. We can only assume that this is an imperial space race." "On that note, The EUROCOM has a prevalent theory on the attack on EUROCOM headquarters. Before it was attacked, and unlike what was said publically EURCOM was working on a chemical weapon. Medusa. The virus was intended to be a fail-safe mechanism to protect Earth, which eradicates all extra-terrestrial life in its perimeter. The virus utilized a compound structure that would allow most carbon-based life-forms resilience while non-lethal to humans. Based on the archives of the Fortress of Solitude, we are able to ensure that the virus is not harmful to humans. We believe, an alien threat attacked the bae to disrupt the chemical-weaponization of Medusa which was in its final stages." "General Kruger, you mean to tell the Space Command that EUROCOM was exceeding its jurisdiction by creating and investing alienonic biological warfare?" "General May, EUROCOM's duties are to protect France from all European threats and I can assure you that the Akaatan are not of this earth. In conjunction to our duties, EUROCOM has quietly and effectively created a virus that can and will be able to destroy the Akaatan and any other alien threat. However, the production of Medusa is both costly and dangerous." "General Kruger, you ha...." "Ladies, let us remain calm. The Medusa virus is a vital asset to the new French space Command Structure, however, we must move towards establishing more weaponry and a greater arsenal of troops to expand into the vast unknown. The V.S.F Napoleon will begin making trips to Mercury where the Imperium has given us technological wonders to terraform the planet and begin both colonization and extraction." "As you are aware Prime Minister Chauve, NORCOM wishes that they be in charge of this space exploration program." "I have to Object Madame Prime Minister, EUROCOM has been leading the development of interstellar capabilities and militarization of our space capabilities." "Ladies, General Sazaki has made it clear alongside CEMA Maximillen that the Space Command will not be structured around North Command or European Command soley However, as Diane made it clear, EUROCOM is best equipped to lead this effort and such, I believe EUROCOM will handle our military aspect of the French Space Command and NORCOM will assist with peaceful exploration of Space in conjunction with EUROCOM." "Generals, The CEMA and Prime Minister have drafted orders for you to report to EUROCOM for debriefs before returning to your Command Posts." General Sazaki, The Chief of the Joint Armed Forces, and the Prime Minister left the Space Command in Bern. The Napoleon was set to leave for Mercury within weeks after its crew completed extended training and the Armee de l'espace was well equipped for a possible year long deployment.

Concept The basic concept of the Chasseur program was decided when the French government wary of extraterrestrial conflicts on Earth worked in conjunction with bio-engineers and extraterrestrial analysts to work on performance enhancing equipment. The Chasseur Project was intended to become the standard outfitization of the French Armed Force’s extension. The Commandement spatial français [CSF] was the Command Structure of the French Space Army and Navy. The Armee de l’espace would be created under Parliamentary Order SFFRAEL-AS-2-01-00. Prime Minister Laura Chauve the pioneer of the French Space Command pushed the plan into the Senat floor in a closed select agreement between the party of twelve. The Chasseur Program recruited many from the French Armee de Terre, but others willing to join this new program. Chasseurs were elite french hunters, agile soldiers, and intelligent officers. Rather than relying on brute force, the Chasseur Program equipped its candidates with state of the art, but mobile armor to meet the challenges of alien weaponry. Although it can repel a majority of human fired ballistic and can sustain some damage from plasma energy weapons the armor is susceptible to explosives and arc energy based weaponry. Dr. Olsen of the Chasseur Program envisioned an elite sector of the Armee de l’espace and her vision succeeded in the culmination of the French Armee de l’espace with some 5,000 personnel. Origin The Chasseur Program is stationed in Bern and Geneva Switzerland. Launched by the Prime Minister, the facility is a top clearance facility built to be self-sustained for six months at a time. Its aim was an increase in effectiveness in the Armee de L’espace and ultimately to breed new technology for the French Armee de L’espace and Spatial Marine. Current Status The Chasseur Program is now situated into three sectors. The Army Wing, the Navy Wing, and the Research Wing. The Army Wing is some 6,500 strong all armed with the Chasseur Armor Type-01, Standard Chauve-Arc Rifles, and standardized equipment of; an integrated-oxygen mask, visors capable of allowing enhanced interfaces between individual troops and the higher command structure, rations to sustain two rotations, and a beacon to be utilized if lost or captured. The Navy Wing with 8,000 personnel and 10,000 researches, developers, technicians, and mechanics has an arsenal of sixteen Foch-Interceptors based off of the First Order. It is currently in planned construction of one Dreadnaught, The Napoleon is a heavy-dreadnaught capable of projecting 7,300 soldiers with a crew of 2,300 and an additional complement of carrying 100 Foch-interceptors. The Napoleon utilized an ionic propulsion and mitigates the effects of the Resorian splice by using a warp core that can allow cleaner interstellar travel and more consistency than with the splicer. The Research Wing is made up of 500 scientists, and some other 800 engineers and artists that develop, create and test the French Space Command’s newest technology and developments. With offices in Bern and Geneva, the Research Wing has boomed with investment and support from Resoria and the French Government.

Although it is yearly reviewed by the French Economic Commission, a non-partisan commission headed by the Senat and the Civil Economic Forum. The French GDP as of 2002 was 4,880,519,573.312 Trillion Francs or 4.88 Trillion Francs. It was reported in 2001, that the French Government owned 300 billion Francs worth of investment and real estate across the globe and in foreign corporations. Oil development and cultivation have pooled 3 billion francs a month from the Sufi Order and investments in technology and housing in the United States are worth some 12 billion Francs in assets. The French research private sector has seen an exponential growth with projects in Jerusalem, Norfolk, and even Hanoi becoming centers of capital for French investment and development. Some 50 million Francs have been invested in Austria and the Regime while 3 billion Francs have been invested in China alone. With a major focus on Automobiles, Military Equipment, Steel, Aircrafts, Agriculture and Foods, Technical equipment, Perfume, Jewelry, and Wine the French economy has a well balanced Economic Policy. The major industries of Services have flourished in recent years with some 80 million people visiting France in 2001 alone. Foreign Relations Under the Korczak Administration, diplomatic relations have been opened with eleven out of sixteen of the world's nations. The French Government opened its first ever Open Borders Agreement or the Pacte ouvert d'amitié et de faternité with Hungadada. Paris and Port Royalty have agreed to open their 623 km border to be crossed freely. Earlier in 2002, France joined it's very own defensive, social, and economic pact when it ratified the accords in a 130-40 vote in the Senat. The Pact opened France to visa-free travel to Resoria, Socialist Ottoman Empire, and The First Order. In the Agreement, Free City was discussed and given a green light for the French Embassy to be located there and for the arrival of some 300 French visitors annually. France's Foreign Ministry issued Travel Bans on North Africa and Germany with Travel Warnings issues for The SoE, Grand Sufi Order, Austria, The North American Continent. Travel Guidelines were issued on The Regime, The First Order, and Resoria to ensure citizens were aware of the complex situations and of course the dangers of travel. France opened it's latest Embassy in The Capital of Resoria following the opening of Diplomatic Relations.

The Laurentian Embassy Marine Guard's grabbed Eliza Brunso from the Reubenian Intelligence. Inside, the DGSE, Defense Attaché, Station Chief, and Embassy Medical Staff awaited for Eliza Brunso to return. The Laurentian Embassy was glad to have retrieved Eliza Brunso, but she would face severe repercussions for her acts of Treason. Inside the Embassy holding cell. Williamsburg, Reubenia. Chief of Station Jordan Bureau: Eliza...You need to tell me what happened when they interrogated you. Eliza: I don't remember! All I can remember is being taken from Paris and the hotel and that is it. Chief of Station: What hotel did they take you? Eliza: I can not remember. Major Pasquier: Jordan, this can wait. Let Doctor Allen run some tests before we come back to this. It is possible they did not ask her any questions yet. Chief of Station Jordan: Unlikely, however, I will allow the Doc to check her out. Doctor Allen examined Eliza Brunso, checking past medical records. She had seemed very stable aside from high levels of Vitamin B-12. Her X-Ray indicated a broken wrist, and her brain scan showed central nervous system slowed and some activity with the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid. Major, Chief. She seems normal, there were traces of a tranquilizer dart which may have resulted in lowered nervous activity in which may explain why she could not remember much. Whatever happened to her it could be neruon related. I suggest we transport her to the Napoleon Armed Forces Hospital Center in Paris to run more brain-tests to see if she is suffering a mental break-down and if it could relate to why she is not remembering what happened. It will be imperative we move, the tracer remains show a six-hour half-life remainder so we can assume that she has been under the influence for over 18+ hours. The Major stood up, "I will have the Ambassador’s Helicopter transport her there immediately. Captaine! Get six of your men"…the voice of the Major was drowned out by the halls as he got his men to bring the Ambassador's Helicopter. They flew to Paris, landing on NAFH in Paris dragging Eliza to the neuro department. Emperor Napoleon Armed Forces Hospital, Paris Doctor Peine, we have run a brain test alongside head x-rays and review. We will put her into a MRI once again to ensure the brain scans before we run some physical mental assessment. We should have a report by mid-morning tomorrow. Thank you, Surgeon Teschmacher. Sir, judging from her neurotic response to the testing, there was a response in the frontal lobe and a small release of glucose and sodium into the bloodstream. We are running tests, but she has no background of allergies, epilepsy, health risks, or any heredity diseases. I would have missed it if it weren’t for the electronic instigators that went off in the MRI that showed some activity in the frontal lobe. I believe she should remain here for 96 hours before we move her to an open ward and she can entertain visitors. Thank you, Surgeon Teschmacher. I will bring this up with the Military Intelligence and ask for the request. Keep her vitals stable and report any unusual activity.

Bern, France January 3rd, 2000 French European Command Center EUROCOM A thunderous explosion rocked the Mountain Base of France’s European Strategic Homeland Defense Center. The European Command Center had been attacked, within minutes hundreds of lives were lost. The blast damaged the ventilation system, broke the laboratories on-site, and destroyed the Command Bunker that housed General Diane Kruger. It took hours for French rescue helicopters to arrive, with reinforcements sent via air-drop. The explosion had caused a cave-in, and an avalanche to cover the main road into the small town of Vredesville and the Strategic European Command Center. General Kruger had been declared alive, alongside General Kazaki of the Armee de Terre, she and some associates were at the local tavern when the explosion detonated. French Police, Soldiers, and local civilians helped clear the debris from the road and clean out the base. Every clean-up revealed yet another unfortunate soul who had died. By Early Dawn, the French Ministry of Interior had broken through the snow and relief trucks had arrived. The Ministry of Interior confirmed 73 casualties, 67 Soldiers, and 6 civilians. The Attack had crippled EUROCOM for the time being, however, the base would be rebuilt and restored. General Kruger and Kazaki were requested immediately to return to Paris and brief the President. The Army had locked down Vredesville, and with the Ministry of Interior and the General Directorate for Internal Security, they would find the perpetrators. A small vigil was held in the town square, to remember the dead and to move back to normal life. Vredesville had been erected after the construction of The Fortress of Caesar. General Kruger herself wanted the Command Center to be a model for others. Located in the Alps, the base stretched miles using tunnels and underground shelters allowing mobility and accessibility across the fortress. It was easily maintained for a 2,500 garrison and an officer corp of 800. The Fortress was quite expensive, totaling 700 million Francs. However, General Kruger delivered and EUROCOM had outlined strategic plans to counter all threats and keep the mainland safe from all threats. With such a large size, the base saw civilians develop and curtail an entire city based on this base.

The French Army had been surveying German, Austrian, Hungadada, and other European movements. Using the French UAV’s, Spy Satellites, Reconnaissance Troops and even local informants. This was apart of EUROCOM’s Overall European Domination Strategy. General Dianna Kruger, the lead mind behind the Motherland Theory and France’s sharpest leader on European Military Tactics was leading the French EUROCOM Strategy. However, the actions of Austria in expansion into Italy moved the timetables drastically. French EUROCOM Headquarters - Bern, France. The Germans in the North can wait for Operation Atlas. The 13e RDP has reported Austrian Troops moving into Eastern Italia. Because they have initiated the Koyo Protocols, we must move into these positions. General Kruger highlighted Positions just East of Headquarters and the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy will fall next. The Koyo Protocols dictate we control these lands, she displayed a map of the Koyo Agreement. What we aren’t expected is to take the Florence Region or Rome. Operation Sabertooth will allow us to use special forces to survey the border and the unorganized territory of Italy before Austrian Troops expand further. Commander Maximillian spoke up, “Thank you, General Kruger. With this plan, can we expect any retaliation from the Austrians? As you know, President Korczak wishes to establish friendlier relations and not push them into Germany’s Corner.” “Thank you, sir, I can assure the Joint Chiefs and the President that at its current stage Sabertooth will not provoke them, our backdrop is our work to capture rogue separatists and also explore Latium for resources and information.”

My Chief of Staff had arrived, “Madame President, Your new Secretary Kara Danvers has arrived, she was highly recommended from her previous position as Assistant to Cat Co.” I looked at her, “Thank you Elizabeth.” I finished with a smile. I stood up as Kara entered. “Thank you for meeting me Kara, I know that you may be readjusting to Paris. I do hope the city is as spectacular as you may have imagined. Can I offer you any water or tea?” She looked startled. “I feel like that is my job” She laughed, “I love this paradox! Oh, my god, did I say that out loud” She looked mortified. I joined in on her laugh, “Please, join me.” I led her to the balcony behind my office. “My security detail does not appreciate me for going outside and on the Balcony because it leaves me ‘exposed’” I smiled at her. “Kara, this job is very requiring and it is tiring so I hope you know what you signed up for.” “Yes, Ms. Korczak.I mean Madame President.” I gave her a shoulder rub, “Lidia will do just fine. Now, go take the rest of the day off. Enjoy the air and scenery, it is good to take in the beauties of humanity while they last.” She looked out the window. “How do you do it all? I mean to be President, a mother, just all of it.” I walked back inside, closing the windows. I sat down, before responding. “You start small, I was lucky to meet Frederik. He is loving, caring, and accepting. You juggle with two balls before you juggle the third.” Kara looked at me, “that's funny…my old boss told me the same thing.” I opened my drawer, pulling out a book about Cat Grant. “Perhaps because I read her book.” We both laughed. “Now off you go, enjoy your time before work.” I opened my phone, clicking Clark’s name. On occasion Clark and I would message, I would usually ask him for advice or help but this time I had the chance to once again help him. His cousin, and the daughter of a good friend of mine back on…well, that’s a story for another time. I gladly offered Kara a job in my administration, alongside hiring a couple of her friends back from home. I closed my drawer, rubbing my temples. It was good to have Clark visiting, and hopefully, Kara can join us eventually. “Madame President! You are needed immediately” “Well, duty calls I guess.”

Claims for January Post upcoming

I mean claiming those four provinces that Reuben just left. His post covers the move and how it is handed over.

Exit Polls put The Novan People's Front at 31% followed by the Alternative for Quebec at 30% and the Liberal Democrats at 20% and the Civil Liberal Party at 19%

FR-1 News Report; Licensed Terror As a champion of Human Rights, Laurentia should be horrified to hear of such reports, we are sorrow for these acts we hail the brave acts of Robert Walters and Carlos Franco who paid the ultimate price it was reported by the DGSE their agents were killed in the line of duty by fellow Agent and leaker Eliza Brunso. Here at FR1 Our hearts and prayers are with the families of Franco and Walters. Leaks and whistleblowers they are a necessary evil to keep governments in check and organizations in control. While I condemn the law-breaking actions of Walters and Franco, it is perhaps that act that makes them the ultimate patriot. Let me stop you right there Eric, these leaks put the lives of many agents in danger, they did not redact nor edit any intelligence that clearly points out agents names and identities from Algeria and Egypt where Laurentia is fighting a terror group to the Army bases inside Italy, Quebec, and Switzerland which are vital to our war and operations in those regions. It is both Illegal and dangerous what these men have done, and they have committed Treason and broken many federal laws. Are you supporting torture, Michelle? Dear god no, but there is no concrete information. The only information with real backing and hard evidence is damaging to our war against Zodiac and against threats to this Republic. We need to have faith in our Government to operate and our soldiers on the field need to have the right information and intelligence to do their jobs. But Michelle, what if that information comes at the price of our humanity! We are no better than the terrorists themselves. Eric, we have a duty to our nation to trust them and not only that but the terrorists that attacked us in Nice and Paris did not give a regard to human lives, the separatists in Flanders and Switzerland did not give a damn to human lives when they attacked civilians and the Eslovan did not give a damn to human lives when they began an ethnic genocide. I am fairly certain our Government tried everything before they resorted to torture if they even did so. I would like to note that Reubenia has also been reported to Harbor known-terrorist Eliza Brunso who is allegedly charged with killing two federal agents and treason. These leaks have certainly startled the nation, but not in ways you would have expected. The President's own party has condemned the leaks, calling it a betrayal to the nation and that those who leaked the information should be punished. Many on the right and other conservative parties followed suit condemning the leaks and the actions of Reubenia in aiding and abiding the Terrorist Eliza Brunso. Claire is right! These acts are a betrayal to the nation and those responsible should be punished!...... Is it not the responsibility of the Citizen to hold the government accountable? If the Citizen cannot hold the Government accountable then the Government is and will be a dictatorship no better than a crown. These men and women put the State and their ultimate duty above all else even with the knowledge they would die. The actions of these men and women regardless of how wrong exposed an evil within our n... They only exposed one thing, our men, and women on the fields of Geneva and on the hills of Quebec. They exposed the valiant agents doing their service to protect their nation in Egypt, Algeria, and across the globe fighting the threats that threaten our nation. Thank you both for giving our viewers your input, and we have live videos of protests from outside the Reubenian Embassy demanding Eliza Brunso's return and protests outside the Presidnential Residnence and DGSE Office calling for accountablity and government prosecution to happen. This will be a long week for the Government as they attempt to handle not only this crisis but their Anti-Terrorism bill and the threats of spillover from the Quebec Election. This is Claire Tomagachi from FR1 on this week's special. "Licensed Teror"

Laurentia had become aware of the breach, notified the DGSE to stop and intercept the Reubenian agents. However, they arrived too late and Eliza Brunso had escaped to Williamsburg. Laurentia had attempted to use the European Intelligence Directorate to get Reubenia to extradite Brunso to Paris, however, all communications ceased between Laurentia and Reubenia. While The DGSE had wanted to push greater diplomatic attacks from expelling known Reubenian spies to suspending intelligence sharing with the E.U. the President had denied such ideas, fearing such actions would cause greater attention on Reubenia while she tried to push the Anti-Terrorism bill and the Quebec Election a possible catastrophe. The DGSE limited on options decided the only way to get out of this was a truth, but also to ruin the credibility of Brunso.

Breaking News! The Secretary of State for Quebec and the Laurentian Ministry of Interior declared the Election to be on schedule with some 6 million expected to vote in today's election. The Ministry of Interior has expected fallout and possible violence after the election and has increased its presence in Quebec City with some 5,000 national guardsmen patroling Quebec City alone. Following the Army and Navies withdrawal, the National Guard and the Quebec Police Force have maintained order and obedience. The election, however, has opened old wounds from the oppression under the Alexmia empire to the violent uprisings in Quebec that targetted women and children and the battle of language. The Novan People's Front led by Nova Walters has been reported to be leading the election by 2.5% in a QB1 poll earlier today and the Alternative pour le Québec trailing behind. The Quebec Police Commissioner called for all sides to respect the democratic process. Some 24 cases of AK-47's and RPG-7's have been confiscated by the Gendarmerie and Laurentian Army Special Forces. Laurentia's President has called for all sides to come together in today's election to find solace in their common democratic aspirations. Quebec's Acting-Governor Sarkozy has already thrown his support for the APQ while Deputy-Acting-Govenor Wallons has supported the NPF falling back on a joint-statement where both promised to remain independent from this election. Many see the APQ as a Laurentian Government-backed group fighting for Quebec rights and for French dominance whereas the NPF is the party of the excluded and the English supremacy party. Both have sought the undecided base who are deceived in today's election. The Laurentian Ministry of Interior has feared these elections will result in more violence and threaten the unstable region. He cited that the issues were not simply in Quebec, they were across the U.S. where Britannia and the Nova Empire fought over control for the region and a byproduct was Quebec's instability where both sides can neither compromise because they feel empowered that Britannia and Laurentia will defend the Quebec people and that Nova will protect the Novans. In a stunning display of condemnation, the Ministry of Interior had threatened to cancel the elections and promised to crack down on all forms of illegal killings and voter fraud. He condemned all parties involved in sparking conflict in the region and called for a two plus one discussion between Britannia and the Nova Empire with Laurentia remaining a mutual negotiator. The Laurentian Armed Force's vital ports in Quebec house the Laurentian First Fleet, with an Airbase in Nova serving as a vital link to the West Coast. Acting-Governor Sarkozy and his interim government have all ensured they will step down following the election to allow a new government to take over.

Classified Military Communications Ministry of Defense Attaché, Jerusalem We believe that we have a possible investment in a Sufi Defense Company here in Jerusalem and as well as Tel Aviv. We think that we can expand the current Missile Defense Systems, redevelop the Jordan Valley and possibly buy an Arrow system. As part of Article Five of the White Paper, and Defense Review 2000 we have discussed a 50 million USD plan with the companies here and we expect to have some prepared deal for President Korczak and the Minister of Defense - Major Talvi Classified under the Status of Diplomatic Correspondence, 1887 Unauthorized access will result be fined and subject to prosecution

T Laurentia’s Intelligence Leaders arrived quietly on the rooftop of the DGSE complex in Paris. The Darkness illuminates the backdrop of the Chateau-Bleu and the Eiffel Tower in the background. The National Security Advisor, The Director of the DGSE, DGSI, and RM6 met to discuss the recent leaks and whistleblowers. Élisée looked at Mistral, Cooper, and Summers. “You know what I love about this spot? You can see the European Court of Justice, The Presidential Palace, the European Commission, and even the Eiffel Tower. But I can assure you, in the coming weeks you will be seeing a lot of the European Court of Justice unless we squash this threat right now. What do you have Sasha? [Sasha Cooper, Director of the DGSI] “We have identified the three whistleblowers, we were able to run an internal system dissection, looking at travel patterns and of course the relative times and established that Eliza Brunso, Carlos Franco, and Robert Walters are the three responsible for leaking the classified information. We don’t know if they have attempted to escape, but the DGSI has sent our Strike-Team to their houses and turned up negative, we know that Walters left with his family, and Franco was on a mission to Algeria in the previous weeks. RM6 has a special forces group tracking Franco as we speak, and we have placed them on travel bans on all three and sent a report to the European Intelligence Directorate. Walters and his family are somewhere in Laurentia, and we will find them.” “Thank you Sasha. Marcus, does the DGSE have anything?” [Marcus Mistral Johnson, Director of the DGSE] “Unfortunately, we believe that Eliza Brunso has already defected, she was our best asset and she was already prepared to leave before she leaked the classified intelligence. We also believe we have uncovered the Scorpio Mole inside the DGSE. However, we need Brunso to validate it. Our Spy ring in Algeria, Egypt, Italy, and even in E.U. states has turned nothing so far.” “Can any of this link to the President?” Sasha spoke up, “As we know, only the four of us are even aware of the Special Interrogation Division of the exists. No one else is aware, and for that reason, no one else even knows of our actives other than the 30 authorized personnel. Within legal framework we are also protected, the Geneva Conventions are ratified on Laurentian soil, all our interrogation that require extra push happen before they enter Laurentian territorial space.” “Very well, I want you close up all loose ends, the Army complaints will be more challenging, what do you think Elizabeth?. [Colonel. Elizabeth Summers, Director of Military Intelligence Six] “The reports are semi-true, yes we have indirectly allowed the Frankish Defense League and the Swiss Defense Force to perpetrate acts that can be considered ethnic cleansing, and yes we have kidnapped multiple ESA commandants but no civilians. While we are trying to stop the FDL and SDF from these acts, they have been doing them where our Patrols are not active and when we are not operating. We are unaware what is happening in Quebec, but our fears are that a civil war will implode in Quebec after these elections. However, I do not decide policy, I execute it.” “Thank you Summers, now we need to find these three leakers and they need to be silenced. If it comes to it, you have the authorization to terminate them, however this will be led by the DGSI if on our soil, the RM6 if it is in hostile/warzone and the DGSE if it is beyond our borders. I expect you all to prioritize this, we will say that they have committed Treason against the Republic and that is the mandate you give to your agents if anyone does ask such question. The Directors left the top of the building. The Ministry of Interior and it's Civil Aviation Security, National Gaurd, Gendarmerie, and Police were given their pictures and profiles with orders to arrest them.

Breaking News, "Following Leaks from the Laurentian Foreign Intelligence Agency, our correspondent's in Britannia reached out to the Britannian Government in regards to alleged reports that the Britannian Government interference in the 2020 Presidential Election of Laurentia. Our local correspondent Mujji Sahuso is on with us. Mijji, What can you tell us about your communications with the Britannian Government?" "Well, Carina, I'd like to play this clip that I obtained while speaking with the Emperor." Clip plays. "As we explained with the Laurentian government we know it was not Britannia. We have documents and information not to mention testimony from Zodiac Agents that their plan was to cause a rift between Britannia and their ally Laurentia. It was linked to the telecoms murder, rainbow operation in southern France and eventually the war we see today. Britannia is a victim of framing by these terrorists that we and our allies are about to put down once and for all." Clip ends. "It appears that both Laurentia and Britannia for some time were aware of these events and yet the National Assembly denies it was even aware of these breaches. While the Emperor staunchly denied his government was involved in any form of influence, this does devolve the other leaks from the Agency about torture." "Indeed, you are right Mijji. Would you say that the Intelligence leaks were outdated or simply non-factual? "Well, I believe they are authentic, the reports signified that the source of origin of the attacks was Britannia and as the Emperor stated. "Britannia is a victim of framing by these terrorists that we and our allies are about to put down once and for all." We get a hint that Britannia is also preparing for a more direct role in fighting Zodiac, but that this was simply a ploy to disrupt Britannian-Laurentian Relations." "Thank you Mijji. Next, on EuroNews, a series of leaks and now social media are flaring with the reports that Laurentia has been using Torture on civilians. Social Media, from twitter to facebook blew up in posts regarding torture with now reports that the Laurentian Armee de Terre has not only also been using torture, but has been indirectly or directly committing acts of genocide against the Eslovan ethnic group in Switzerland. Ever since the 2019 intervention in Switzerland, the ESA reports 15,000 disappearances and deaths and at least 300 victims of chemical attacks. The ESA has called an international investigation into these reported crimes. On the other side of the globe, the Novan Citizens Union also reported that roughly 75 civilians have disappeared ever since the 'occupation' of Quebec City with acts of borderline Ethnic cleansing being reported. We spoke with the Chief of the Armed Forces." "We wholeheartedly deny these allegations that the Armed Forces and in specific the Army have been killing and harming Civilians inside Switzerland. In retrospect, it is the Eslovan Salvation Army that began an Ethnic Genocide and is now crying wolf. Our mission in Switzerland is limited to Laurentian Switzerland, with small-scale raids into the remainder of Switzerland. When the ESA is willing to come to the table we are willing to listen, but we see this as an insult to call the Laurentian Army an army of genocide and torture..." "The Elections coming in Quebec have seen many highlights as the Novan People's Front an English right-wing nationalist party and the An Alternate for Quebec a French right-wing nationalist party is leading the election. Many have feared that cross-border elections will cause some temperance and that violence is expecting to spark after the results of the election. The roughly 40,000 National Guardsmen have been deployed across the entire region to prevent this expected surge in Violence." "Although all parties have called for non-violence the Government is taking every precaution to stop any violence."
