Aguacenta Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) An International Radio Broadcast, of a speech given by First Minister Emiliano Cabrera. Given this evening on the steps of the National Parliament Building. Today I stand before you, the leader of a beleaguered people. Many of us have lost loved-ones and friends in the recent tragedy that befell our nation. We, as a people, have witnessed many of the villages, towns, and cities of the south coast being devastated by earthquakes and the force of the sea. We have witnessed destruction, we have witnessed tragedy, we have witnessed disorder, and we have witnessed opportunism. However, we have also witnessed the best that humanity has to offer. Neighbors comforting each other, communities sheltering strangers, and an outpouring of support, not only from within the Republic, but from abroad. While it is easy to dwell on the cruelty and inhumanity we have see, I encourage you instead to revel in the selfless compassion of those who have sought to ease the suffering of others. I encourage you, not to look toward the past, but toward the future. The road ahead of us is uncertain. It contains many hardships and potential hazards. But, no matter how difficult the road gets, we as Aguacentians will walk it together. We will revel together in our triumphs and reassure each other in our hardships. We will leave no-one behind. Tonight, many of you are are listening to these words in places far from your homes. Forced to abandon your homelands. Force to reside in shelters, relief camps, in churches, and in the homes of strangers. Tonight, many of you will be wondering if you will be able to return to them. While I would like to able to say that a time-table is in place, and that you will soon be able to return to your homelands, unfortunately I can not. But, as leader of this Republic, tonight, I make each and everyone of you this solemn promise. We will rebuild. We will not stop at the halls of Parliament behind me. We will rebuild all that was lost. We will emerge from this tragedy stronger and more united than ever. We will not stop until those who have been displaced have returned to their homes. We will not stop until those who have lost are made whole again. Today the vanguard of Republic marches in lock-step. Together we can insure that humanity and compassion are one again triumphant over their foes. All departments of this government are currently working with vigor and haste to allow for a return to normalcy. The National Assembly has authorized the use of every resource at our disposal to aid in relief efforts. The armed forces of the Republic, along with the National Guard, Gendarme, civilian agencies and relief groups are currently working under a single umbrella with common purpose. The National Assembly has begun to take actions to spur rebuilding efforts and mitigate further damage to infrastructure and the economy. In short order, funds will begin to flow from government coffers into the hands of relief organizations, citizens, and industry. Help is on its way. It is on its way, not only from your government and from your fellow citizens, but from citizens of the world, who have put aside past grievances and opened their hearts to us in our time of need. Fellow Aguacentians, hear this, you cries have been heard. Our strategic partners in the Nation of Rokkenjima and the our newest compatriots in the Republic of France have heard your pleas and have extended their hands in friendship and good-faith to help. In the coming days and weeks, you may see many new faces in the streets of our cities. Fear not, for these are our brothers and sisters.

The Titan arrived near CEAN waters, remaining at general-quarters all stations were focused on a smooth transition from the Sea of Okhotsk and into Aguacentia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Captain Toma observed the water, the transit had gone smooth for the most part. However, it could be in a flash Rokkenjiman Naval Vessels swarmed the French Ship as it pushed through to reach Ciudad Nuevo. Over 2,000 Tons of Food, Water, Medecine, and Hygiene were packed onto the Frigate. Alongside a crew of 24 Fusillars and a Helicopter crew, the Titan would provide emergency relief before a Carrier Group could arrive to Augacentia with more aide and support...For now they would sail through to reach Aguacentia.

Prince Hunter of Bavaria Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 The Titan would be joined by six other French Ships. The Alexia, The Opulon, The Hercules, The Barkhane, and The Victory. All these ships brought over 100,000 tons of supplies to Aguacenta. On the ground, a make-shift hospital was set up to treat wounded, and French Marines provided a small security bubble and offered what ever support they could to the local police and state police. In other regions, French C-130 Hercules dropped supplies onto remote areas, and other cities with airports where supplies from medical supplies to food were handed out to the police and regional authority. As the situation dwindled back to normal, the French Forces prepared a withdrawal and continued to provide aide until their expect leave at the request of the Aguacenta Government.
