[Gérald Laurent]

Members of the Nationalversammlung, President of the Nationalversammlung, and esteemed guests. 

 

6:35 Am: at for 4:35 Arktisches Kommando received a message from the Swedish Coastline. "He...Hello? Commander Basch Zwingli of the RSA speaking...Calling for any outside help...Norway, Denmark and Karelia in state of revolt...Separatists and Abolitionists fighting with Royalist forces...Iceland under lockdown...King shot in Stockholm...hospitalized...Oresund Bridge blown up...Danish independence imminent...Swedish garrison besieged in Oslo, Malmo and Murmansk...Prince kidnapped in Copenhagen...presumed dead...Martial law being established but anarchy in most areas...Finnish and Estonian annexation stalled...I repeat...Gothenburg in urgent need of supplies...food...munitions...Send help...aid...repeat...help...pl.............." The siutation is dire, and the tensions on the border with Denmark are growing every hour. Our allies are in need of our aid and help. It is without a doubt, The German Federal Government must and will support our allies. It is our morally bound obligation, and it is the right thing to do. I ask that the Nationalversammlung agree to authorizng any and all means nesscesary to reinstate The Swedish Monarch, and to uphold our commitments to TEA. As we speak, the TEA Council is discussing the operations needed to support what remains of the RSA, and its leadership. We must be united in our response, and we must be ready to act quickly. 

War is no easy task, neither is it a setteling matter. However, war is now upon us. We must fight to solidfy our position not only in history. But in this world. We must act with resolve and force. And we must strike with diligence and care. 

Thank you.

 

7:00 am: The National Versammlung approves Military Operations against seccesonits in Sweden 

The Nationalvserammlung has just approved a state of war against the separtists and abolitionists in sweden. The German Military has called up 300,000 part-time reserves, and has mobilized a second batch of reserves. General Westfal, spoke to a press release after the Nationalversammlung decared the state of war. 

"The German Armed Forces will require manpower not speciafally to support our operations in Sweden. However to support our operations and protect our nation from any other attack. The 380,000 proffesional force will suffice our needs for any operations in Sweden. However, the resrerves will be placed on ptrolling and training if and when needed. Thank you all, and my god bless the German Armed Forces. 

His Majesties Royal Armed Forces has prepared their invasion plans for Denmark. German soldiers continued to prepare for the invasion, however when a desperate plea was made by the Ambassador. German Forces deployed bombers and special forces to attack the separtists in oslo.

20,000 German Soldiers have landed in Iceland, saying that they are there for protecting the TEA Headquarters and base. The German Navy in Iceland has also started to stop any ship that came within 25 nautical miles of the Island.

Across the salient, German and Danish soldiers continued to fight. Taking substantial losses, the Danish Forces began to retreat to Copenhagen. In hopes of keeping the city with fresh reinforcements from Norway and Keralia. 

 

In Berlin, President Laurens has returned from her State Visit to Ireland. Postponing her press conference, she said that a vote on the treaty would be premature at this moment and says that the Senat will discuss it on August 12th. The Third Armee Corp has begun to muster its forces. Our primary focus right now is the war, and once the war campaign settles down we will return to discussing the treaty. 

Over 200,000 civilians have received their calling orders, brining the standing Armed Forces to over 580,00 active troops. The 380,000 frontline troops and 200,000 reserves have also been reorganized into 7 Army Corps and 1 Reserve Army. Defense Minister von Jæger promised a crushing victory and liberation of Copenhagen as well as all necessary support for the Troops. 

In Germany, civilian life continued as normal. Although 200,000 men and women were called into service. Most services continued the same, although there were small work shortages. Companies were respectful of local laws, and are also unable to fire employees on Calling Order. Minister Jæger did state that there could possibly be a second calling order, or that the first calling order might be cut down. 

The Defense Reserve saw a 600 Billion Kronen increased in funding to support the ongoing war effort. 

President Haas of the TEA Council and other members have also begun the framework for The TEA Objectives

"General, this is was the message received." The general was shocked. A civil war? "Contact General Bach, and awaken His Majesty. Under the authority vested in me, the Hungadadian Armed Forces are now at CRL 3. Monitor the situation, do you understand?" 

--

The Imperial Palace Emergency Situation Room:

"Your Majesty, at around 6:40AM today, our Foreign Events Centre received a distressing message from Commander Zwingli of the RSA. It has now been made clear that Sweden, and her territories of Norway, Denmark and Karelia are under siege by separatists and abolitionists, who are fighting against the royal forces. Our intelligence tells us that King Zafri is dead, and Ciel Wolf is missing. The Deutches Bundesreich has already mobilised troops and is sending, from what what they've told us, a total of 50,000. General Duckfoot from the Events Centre took the liberty to raise the Combat Readiness Level to level 3. I must tell you that the TEA HQ in Iceland is in danger of being overrun, and we do have an obligation to lead TEA defence efforts." General Bach finished. The Emperor, looking serious as always, took a sip from his mug of tea. "We are at CRL 2. Deploy the 2nd Force Corps, the 4th TEA Defence Division and the 6th and 15th Brigade. That is a total of 53,000 soldiers. Also, as a support, I am ordering the deployment of the 16th and 18th sqaudron. Send any 3 available destroyers out to help the Germans. Oh, and set up an incident command centre. We must be on top of things, gentlemen. Let's go!"

---

Emperor to Cabinet, Cabinet Briefing:

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. There is a dire situation on our hands. Sweden is in civil war. There is intense fighting as royal forces are battling the separatist and abolitionist forces. The Deutsch Bundesreich has deployed some 20,000 soldiers, with a total of 50,000 soon. I've taken the authority and raised CRL to 2. We are deploying a total of 53,000 soldiers and 86 aircraft. The damned enemies won't know what hit them. Our mission is to secure the Swedish territories, and to ensure that TEA is safe as well."

---

TEA OFFICIAL PUBLIC STATEMENT:

Today, we received the news that one of our own was in dire need of allied assistance. As such, the TEA Defense Forces have now been deployed, and will be working with whatever Royal Swedish forces remain and fellow Hungadadian and German forces in order to liberate Sweden and her territories from the separatist and abolitionist forces. We aim to secure the liberty of over 200,000 innocent civilians, as well as ensure that rightful order is reinstated in Sweden. That will be all. 

-------

The armed forces are now on their way to Sweden, to help in the effort to restore rightful order. 

[Gérald Laurent]

In the Arctic, German Submarines and Destroyers wage a relentless campaign against Swedish ships. Intensive sea battles raged across the north sea as outnumbered German Ships press their attacks. The Swedish Navy managed to upbringing a pyrrhic victory. The German Marines prepare to hit the shores of Svalbrad and recapture the island/ 

 

German Troops after 3 hours of consistent progress were finally repelled by Danish-Swedish Forces. The german Armored Columns are actively fighting in one of the biggest tank battles in Europe. With Thousands of tanks of all magnitudes fighting across this stretch. German Infantry have begun their secondary offensive. In the seas of the Baltic, the German Baltic Fleet has set sail in their attempts to harass and destroy the Swedish fleet. In the skies over Denmark, German Fighters have lost their air superiority. Swedish planes freed up from chasing down the remnants of the Royal Swedish Army. The German Planes quickly retreated back to their air base in Rostock to R&R before heading out again.

Withdraw from Swedish Air space or you will be forcefully removed from the conflict zone. The forces of the Bundesreich and Hungadada are operating in this area and you jeopardize their security. Be Advised This is TEA Command Center, Withdraw from the conflict zone immediately. 

On Reykjavik, 14 German and Hungadada F-16s depart to escort the forces out of the region. German Naval Ships also begin to head in the direction of the forces as The Hungadada Navy heads to protect the Iceland Coast.

Deutsche Zweite Armee Corp

Deutsche Zweite Armee Corp Commander Hannover, Lima Division. Our forces have been stopped by separatist Soldiers. The separatist Air Force and Navy has been reinforced with other separatist units from the mainland. It is imperative we capture the Secondary Objectives to cut off supplies and aid to the forces on the Kiel Salient. Kiel and the Canal have been damaged by enemy bombers, we are attempting to set up Anti-Air positions. However we are under constant naval barrage. The Separatist Air Force is using copenhagen as a base, and is easily sending its bombers on low-flying merry missions to bomb our forces. Leopard Divisions are taking extensive damage, Lima and Fox Division are held up in the counter-offensive whilst Foxes Brigade is staging the naval invasion of the southern salient. 

The 14th Light Panzer Division has been heavily damaged and require immediate repairs. On the battlefield, This is November Company.

Lima Command has also been pushed back, we are losing our footing in the region. We are facing over 90,000 enemy soldiers to the north and at least 100,000 forces to our North East. Lima Command has lost the North West Front, I repeat NORTH WES...(Radio cuts) 
German and Hungadada Generals place another red X over Lima Division.

AMHC to TEA Military Defense Unit

 Our forces in the area are here simply to prevent the Swedish Government from falling. I suggest that you do not attack them, as that would be the last mistake you could make. Akaatan forces will withdraw as soon as Reykjavik has been secured. Coalition forces, on the other hand, will remain to assist our ally in defeating this threat. Thank you, and may this war be successful.

[Gérald Laurent]

Be Advised, Akaatan Forces you are entering Sovereign Swedish Air space. Return to international Air Space immediately. Iceland is under the Joint-TEA Defense Force Control. Withdraw from the Swedish Air Space, or the TEA Defense Force will be required to defend the soveirgnty of the Swedish Kingdom. We will not hesitate to defend our ally. 

 

The F-16s spot the Akaatan Forces and follow them, with orders to shoot them if they do not withdraw from the TEA Base of Operation. The TEA Navy also prepares to destroy the hostile forces should they venture near the TEA Headquarters. 

In Reykjavik the TEA Command Center discusses what to do if the Akaatan Forces breach the Safe Zone. As Iceland remains the only location where Separatists haven't taken over. The TEA Headquarers was evacuated as a precaution, and The 5,000 Swedish/German/Hungadada troops also prepare to defend the Island. The Joint-Command Center issues orders to hold the beachfront if any hostiles attempt to land. A second batch of 40 F-22s and F-16s depart from the Air Base to protect the skies of Iceland. 

 

[Emperor Tristar Majestica]

"Akaatan Forces, this is the Tripartite Command Centre. Iceland and Reykjavik are secure and have been for a while now. We recommend that you withdraw your forces immediately, as it they threaten to disrupt our security operations. Please obey this message and turn around now."

2nd Force Corps...

"Command, this is Force Corps 11th Brigade. BE ADVISED....rebels have .....ical weapons...they have....weapons (sounds of heavy artillery exploding)... we are heading to support November...(large explosions)... call in airstrikes on current positions... over..."

The 11th Force Corps brigade moved quickly under heavy fire by rebel forces to support the German forces on Novembers Hill. 3 bombers from the IHAF 16th squadron also flew over that way to begin bombing runs of enemy forces. "Command, air support en-route." The war against the rebels was turning out to be more difficult than anticipated. It was not due to overconfidence, but rather, due to the large amount of weaponry and resources that the rebel forces had somehow gained. 

Down the line, the 6th Brigade was having slightly better luck, moving to fill in the gaps left by the 11th brigade. Armed with tanks and AFVs, they had more firepower than the frontline 11th brigade. Air support was also close behind. But they were down on numbers, and even though they had firepower, they did not have enough soldiers to man that firepower. "Command...north-east bridge is clear, 200 civilians are secure. Now going...(explosions) frontline. Over"

Meanwhile, in the seas...

"Swedish rouge vessel, this is IHNS Sentinel. You are ordered under the authority of coalition forces to immediately cease your illegal operations and allow Hungadadian marines to board. You will be destroyed if you do not follow this order. I repeat, cease your illegal operations immediately and allow marines to board. You will be..." alarms went off.  A serious voice spoke up "Sir, they've launched a missile. Permission to flare and retaliate." "Permission granted. We are code red, I repeat we are code red", replied the captain. Alarms were now going off. Flares to distract the missiles now went off, and succeeded, although the missile exploded closer than expected. On the bridge, the captain observed the missile launcher come up from the hold. "Stand clear, missile launching, in 3, 2, 1". A bright flash, and the missile was gone, followed by rapid gun fire from IHNS Sentinel's 4 front guns. "Target locked. Time to impact 10 seconds...(a pause) 4,3,2,1. Impact." A fireball erupted in the near distance. The enemy ship was listing dangerously as water began pouring in. "Send in the rescue teams, STAT." A secondary warning alarm went off. 4 large cutters, filled with marines were lowered into the water, and headed quickly to help rescue some Swedish rebel marines who needed it. 3 cutters would follow.

North Front...

[Ikhan]

 Upon receiving the message, Akaatan and Coalition forces are withdrawn to Northern Denmark and Norway. As phase one of the intervention comes to a close, Akaatan forces are being withdrawn from the conflict, save for a few troops who are working as engineers and military advisers. In order to compensate for this, another fifteen-thousand coalition troops are deployed, while the Akaatan Fighter Corps. will remain for strategic bombing and close air support. It is hoped that this will assist in breaking the stalemate in Norway.

 

[Gérald Laurent]

German Victory in Copenhagen 

The German First Army Corp finally made its way into the fight. Spearheaded by elite Legionaries, the Foreign Legion broke past the robust Separatists defenses across the salient. The German Paratrooper Brigades and Light Armor deployed behind enemy lines as the moonless night covered their approach. The Paratroopers and Light Armor struck devasting blows to the reserves of the Separatists Forces in the salient. 

To the south, a night offensive by the separatists to capture the canal was beat back by German-Hungadada Forces. They then quickly started a counter-attack leading them forward across the canal. The Second Army Corp was assisted by the 6th Army Corps and their Tank/Armored Regiments. Hungadada Planes finally arriving helped the German Fighters regain air superiority. Throughout the night straffing runs and bombing rocked the salient. 

The Hungadada 15th Brigade to the north had been encircled, but before long Hungadada Tank Divisions and German Light Infantry relived the seiged unit. November Hill was also retaken from hostile forces allowing a strategic view of the salient. 

By mid-morning, the German First Army and 13th Air Division made it into Copenhagen. Tired, but determined they slowly cleared the streets of Copenhagen taking our armories and other vital supply lines. Smart Bombs also hit Seperatists Bunkers and command centers. 

Before long, the fighting had settled as night approched the city. To the rear, the airborne brigade and light tanks had cut off a retreat by the Separatists Forces on the salient. German-Hungadad Forces now began a full push to the entrance of the Baltic to strike a decesive blow to the rebellion. German Soldiers set up a defensive line, as they took rest for the night. The next morning would result in much more intense street fighting as the Germans and Seperatists would battle for control of streets and houses. 

 

[Emperor Tristar Majestica]

Hungadadian Victory in Gothenburg

The Hungadadian Navy and Air Force supported ground troops through the night in a final bid to secure Gothenburg from the rebel forces. Parts of the 2nd Force Corps had been redeployed to help with a seaborne invasion of mainland Sweden. A vicious bombing campaign came first, followed by precision targeting of rebel supply routes and other vital trade lines. Marines helped support the 2nd Force Corps on the ground who were able to overrun the uncharacteristiccllly weak rebel forces on the coast. All the troops and tank divisions moved forward rapidly, as TEA security forces, redeployed after securing Iceland, returned to form a pincer movement around Gothenburg, in a bid to completely surround the rebel forces. The 15th Brigade, relieved from a rapidly moving rebel counter-attack arrived to close off any escape routes from the North. The rebel forces were completely blocked in, and at around 8:00AM this morning, Hungadadian and some German troops swarmed Gothenburg. Many rebels gave up, and were promptly arrested without difficulty. Intense street fighting continues in the North and East of Gothenburg, however the rebels know that they are fighting a lost cause. Major supply routes to the rest of Sweden and the peninsula have been cut off from Gothenburg, striking a severe blow into an already weakened rebel force. 

[Ikhan]

 Akaatan Victory in Oslo
  At 0600 hours on the 15th of January, the final push to break through enemy lines outside of Oslo. Coalition troops entered Oslo at 1100 hours, where they met heavy resistance from the rebels who had retreated five hours earlier. Due to the rebels having positions in many of the houses, the fighter corps was called in to neutralize their holdouts, leaving large sections of the city in ruins. As of the present day, much of the city has been taken, with a few small rebel holdouts remaining. Nonetheless, these holdouts are expected to fall by midnight. With the liberation of Oslo, the path to Stockholm is all but clear. The army will split up, with half heading south to Fredrikstad, while the other half will head east towards Karlstad.

[Gérald Laurent]

 Victory in Gothernberg, as German planes dropped leaflets telling the defeat of the Rebel capital in Sweden. The fight to push end the war was coming to play. In the North, the capture of November Hill rallied the routing coalition forces, the TEA defenders rose from their entrenchments and pushed the separatists into the north sea. The German Multi-role bombers, and Hungadada bombers using precision targeting were able to safely and successfully destroy thousands of supply trucks and ships as rebels on the salient surrounded by Germans to the East and South, and Hungadada to the West and North ran low on food, medicine, and ammunition. 

 

In the North, Coalition troops pushed the rebels out of Norway, pushing onto the Oslo. The heavy and quick movement of the Coalition troops caught the separatists off guard as across the region a joint push from the Coalition in the North, Germans storming Sweden, and Hungadada invasion of the rebellious capital of Gothenberg. Their commanders were in dire trouble as the experienced officers of the RSA were fighting in Oslo, Aarhaus, Gothenberg, and Copenhagen. 

 

The German 12th Marine Division and 15th Naval Armored Section joined Hungadada troops in the naval invasion of Gothenberg. 

 

The road to Stockholm was open, as the German Tanks and Mechanized Infantry quickly moved past the roads at intensive speeds. They capture town after town, before stopping at Norkk. The German Second and Sixth Army catch up, moving at a slower pace. The Coalition also begin their push towards Stockholm, and the Hungadada’s also begin their press to join the fight for Stockholm.

 

[Gérald Laurent]

With the Allied invasion of Stockholm underway, the rest of Sweden saw some levels of tranquility. Although Oslo was degraded to ruins, the German Occupied Denmark has slowly undergone rebuilding. The roughly 5.3 million civilians left have gotten much-needed supplies and aid as German Troops continue to move into Sweden by the Thousands. Copenhagen has become a staging ground for German and Hungadada Soldiers. The German 501st Battalion Commander Marcus 'Rex' Walker was named Military Administrator of Denmark. The 501st Battalion has been deployed to protect Copenhagen, with Military Police units deploying in and around Denmark. 

In Copenhagen, hospitals have been staffed by His Majesties Royal Army Medical Corps as thousands of allied troops are medivac-ed to Copenhagen to get treated for much more severe injuries. As the Battle of Stockholm enters its 4th day, the Hospitals across the city see thousands of soldiers, with broken limbs, ruptured arteries, and missing limbs. The RAMC Surgeon General Karla Mince declared that the main hospital in Copenhagen has been flooded with patients. The Hospital with a 120,000 capacity is now treating 300,000 patients. The lack of administration in Denmark has caused the German Government a major blow in rebuilding Sweden. With the only central government being the German Military Structure in Copenhagen. The deadly conflict in Norway and loss of all viable civilian infrastructure has thrown German Medical Units into the fritz as thousands of civilians in dire of medical attention head to Copenhagen. 

Low on supplies and overcrowded, HM RAMC is now dealing with a major crisis as the hallways and even grounds outside the hospitals turn into makeshift attention centers. Roughly 35,000 RAMC have been deployed to Denmark, over 70% of the entire Medical Army. 

It is like hell on earth, bodies stacked to the top, the halls are filled with people in pain. The entire damn country is coming here, we are running out of medical equipment and we are understaffed. I haven't even sat down for the past 12 hours.

Sergeant Elisa Jones, 14th Medical Division

Our Medical Unit was deployed to Nörkköping, it was quite hectic. We used to treat allied troops directly from the front. However, over there we had ample time and supplies. We also had Akaatan and Hungadada doctors and surgeons with us. Now we were being 'relieved' and sent to Copenhagen, but little did we know it was this bad. The streets were littered with people waiting to get into the hospital. The entrance was busy with people being examined. There was literally no space to even move around, since we got here 2 days ago we have barely slept and have burned through 3/4ths of our equipment. The situation is a crisis. 

Private O'conner, 3rd Quantico Medical Unit. 

 

[Gérald Laurent]

The German Government addressed the situation in Copenhagen. 

Addressing the current events in Copenhagen, the German Government has begun an effort to relife the Hospitals in Copenhagen. The German Military Hospital in Kiel and Nationales Krankenhaus von Kiel have begun taking in civilians in need of medical treatment. Similarly, the Bundeskrankenhaus of Berlin will begin to take in 50,000 patients from Copenhagen. In total, 400,000 civilians will be transported to Germany to be given medical attention. 

The German Government has also learned that 2 hospitals have been declared operational by the Hungadada military. With this, we will also begin sending allied troops and civilians to Gothenberg to get medical attention. Whilst the Major Allied Medical Facilities will be located in Copenhagen, we must begin preparations to locate our new Medical Base in Stockholm as the war continues to expand eastwards. We will also ensure our forces keep all or as many hospitals as they can operational in Stockholm. The RAMC has also been resupplied as 40 cargo ships landed in Copenhagen just hours ago. 

We will continue to be updated on the progress of our efforts and we hope that the medical crisis in Denmark will subsidies. 

[Gérald Laurent]

General Reinhardt 

Men and Women of the German Royal Armed Forces. We have fought a long and tiring war. We have faced opposition at home and in Sweden, but yet we push on because our struggle is not for personal glory or conquest. Our war is of liberation and moral brotherhood. We stand here today as equals, as a proud people, a proud army, and proud warriors. As our motto says, Action not words. We rely not on the documents that start and end wars, the papers that curse our wars, and neither the backlash of even our own people. We rely on our actions and our wisdom to guide us in turbulent times. I am honored to have served as your Commanding Officer, and I am privileged to hand over my command to Commander Röthke. I am certain he will overtake this command smoothly and ensure victory that we have bled and died for. 

 

In Sweden, 120,000 Soldiers left the Command Base in stockholm returning to Copenhagen where they begin to prepare to head home. In Stockholm over 60,000 soldiers remain and over 40,000 pilots, marines, naval personnel, and special operators remain stationed. Commander Röthke joined Allied Command this Saturdya. 

[Gérald Laurent]

In Murmansk, Wintery Cyber Units managed to keep the city in a blackout as German Kommandos captured another HVT from Rebel Command. 

In Finland, German Marine Kommandos captured over 400,000 Swedish Krones worth of good as well as 30,000 weapons, rockets, and 10 Liters of Fuel and Gasoline. 

German Special Air Group Nightwing hit ammo and fuel depots of Rebels. 

The Allied Command declared victory against the Rebellion, however, expects rebel cells to continue their attacks against Allied and Swedish Forces. 

210,000 German Troops have been Honorably Discharged. The German Military held a funeral for all those lost in the War of Liberation. The German Military listed 7,892 casualties. Over 350 remain in hospitals in critical care and another 3,000 who are expected to make full recoveries and be able to return to active duty by September. The German Military is expected to medically discharge 2,000 professional soldiers. The war has increased the German Debt from 12 Billion Kronens to 30 Billion Kronens.  The German Royal Airforce has also reported that 45 aircrafts were destroyed and that 47 pilots were killed in action. The German Navy estimated that 12 Ships were lost, with 5 badly damaged. The Ground Forces lost 231 tanks, 52 IFVs, 200 transports, and 4 Attack Helicopters. 

General Westfal and other members of the Joint Chiefs attended a ceremony for the German Soldiers killed in Sweden. A moment of silence was held across the country, as General Westfal took the podium. 

We have fought a long and hard war. The cost of Freedom at times is a very high price. You have fought valiantly, honorably, and courageously. The fatherland is proud to have warriors such as yourselves. While many cowarded from the order to fight, you embraced it, the German Army is honored and proud to call you soldiers of the crown and Federation. Words alone can not describe your valor and sacrifice. But as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, I would like to thank you, as does your President, your Commander-in-Chief, and the people of Germany thank you. Germany is ready for any threat so long as the warriors of the fatherland are ready to embrace the call. 

Germany will begin a withdrawal from Sweden and a complete withdrawal by September. The war in the north is complete.
