Operation Abracadabra

[Mogar]

The corporate navy was well versed in this scenario, and began to set sail to their familiar locations patrolling global waters, with particular interest in the continuation of transit in the four primary trade chokepoints. Gibraltar and Panama were considered minimal interest, not under military control of any powers and unexpected to change in the short term. Suez and Malacca on the other hand were of growing concern, and appropriate military allocations were made.

Malacca was simply freedom of transit missions and loitering did not occur very often, but the Suez was at any given point containing at least six corporate vessels transiting from the Med into the Red Sea, and back again. Two carrier groups maintained this path, with a dozen more scattered about the Indian Ocean to move into range should they require it. With only a single carrier group patrolling the western Med, it was unexpected to be a combat zone but it was important to observe the military movements of the powers that be in the region.

No public statements would be made, but several nations would receive diplomatic packages to begin private conversations.

An immediate blockade would begin of Salazarstan, with the corporate navy dissuading any vessels from leaving or entering Salazarstan's territorial waters. While explicit aggression was not allowed, it was perfectly acceptable to resort to more primitive designs. As occurred in the medieval times when an opponent lived in a fortress, you simply surround it and wait. Probing of any and all signals that could be picked up by corporate AWACS and using them to establish a basis of whatever intelligence could be gathered for future use. Though they would take a while longer to get there, MoG[Corp]'s capital ship was bringing along a few friends.
