Operation Bushwhacker

[Mogar]

MoG[Corp] required constant expansion in order to maintain its economy, and as such had sought out potential opponents for quite some time now. Ruhr's colony in Namibia made for an easy target based off proximity and the lack of security in the Kalahari Desert had meant the criminal elements that MoG[Corp] had ignored had spread into the eastern Nambia likely with some gentle nudging, and as such a valid Casus belli was created. Human trafficking had long been an issue of which the vast majority of nations had spoken out and taken actions against, notably however, Ruhr was one of the few who did not. The Ivory Bull Posse, as they called themselves, had managed to take over nearly all of the human trafficking within southern africa, and had been observed for the past several months to be continuing in the flesh trade. The group had managed to set up several highly organized bases within the desert, having a near military level of organization and logistics. Rather than warning them as to the consequences of their actions or acting against them, intermediaries were used to manipulate the group to continue to expand further west and brush against Ruhr held Nambian territory. MoG[Corp] drones began investigating the extent of the gang's holdings and merely observed until they reached the border to the extent justification could be used.

At the same time a dozen dummy bases were setup, inflatable missiles and aircraft setup on tarmacs with actual soldiers "maintaining" the weaponry, along with carefully created heating elements that allowed for all intents and purposes the fake bases to be appearing to be exactly the same as the dozen other airbases in northern cape province with actual aircraft and missiles, disinformation to allow for any potential counterattack to have a 50/50 chance of destroying a few hundred thousand worth of nylon rather than hundreds of millions worth of aircraft.

The past several months had been used to learn the ins and outs of nearly everything Ruhr was involved in below the equator, and in the skies above. At sunset, high powered anti satellite lasers began emitting towards Ruhr satellites that flew over Africa, with the intention of blinding any surveillance satellites, at the same time communication satellites would find themselves the target of a salvo of RIM-161 missiles launched from the MNS Krugersdorp a few hundred miles south-southeast of Annobón, to further confuse and hinder counterattacks and coordination. The other fleets in the Atlantic that had been silently stalking Ruhr naval units would launch their decapitation strike they had waited for months to enact.

Satellite intelligence had been used over the past several months to uncover the locations of Ruhr military bases within the region. A Combat Air Battalion(30, specifically 10 squadrons of 3) of  MH-60 Black Hawks with stealth packages and squads of augmented operators crossed the border coinciding with the lasers and ASATs, with 40 F-1A Impundulus cross the border into Nambia shortly afterwards, with eight MQ-90 Gaunab slaved to each, acting as advance scouts to determine enemy air presence as units of four of the fighters worked to ensure safe passage for a B-2 to bomb the ten closest military bases to the MoG[Corp] border, the blackhawks arriving shortly afterward to take advantage of the chaos. Cluster munitions were used on airbases, and bunker busters modified off the BLU-116 designs with additional tungsten and depleted uranium shells to allow for enhanced penetration were used on army bases. Two field armies with armor support began to move across the border while the operators caused chaos in the backlines. F/A-18 squadrons were in the sky grazing the border, ready to assist the F-1As should they require.

A public statement would be made around the same time, a man appearing to  perhaps be in his early 30s appearing before a camera, sitting at a large ebonwood desk with a fire in the background.

"Good evening world, I am Mogar, CEO of Mog[Corp] and I come to you today the bearer of bad news. For too long has Ruhr sat idle while their borders became a bed of villainy and terrorism, I have watched as evil men have sunk their claws into Nambia, all the while Ruhr does nothing. Today that ends. MoG[Corp] recognizes a state of war with Ruhr until such time as they leave the African continent. Foreign powers in this world believe they deserve colonies, yet are unwilling to actually respect the local cultures. MoG[Corp] believes Africa should remain in African hands. Ruhr has allowed criminals to run free, by ignoring dangerous elements they are complicit in the actions those criminals perpetrate. While war is not our first option, it is clear there is no other option for us to ensure the security and safety of Africa, our primary goal upon this world. My company has a long history of ensuring the safety of those who inhabit our sphere of influence, and we will take care to not harm any civilians, but any who take arms up against us will be dealt with swiftly."

The United States will be neutral and we chose to not support any sides on this war. Although, we will observe the war closely.

With an unexpected lack of resistance, the field armies were able to spread across the former Ruhr territory easily, securing military bases and restoring infrastructure to useable levels for the locals. The MoG[Corp] airforce began surveilling the region surrounding oceans, searching for any sign of the Ruhr forces. The fortunate turn of events meant that far less weaponry was required than was planned for, allowing the next engagement to be far cheaper. With the new territory, further concepts were considered of an expansion to the !Xu. These plans were merely in the conceptual stage, as additional land would be required to make a proper shape, and the desert that would be included in that would make for interesting construction.
