Operation Downfall

[Ceausescu]

The Allied States and their western neighbor, Eskkya, had a long history of tensions and close calls, neither nation willing to budge in a seemingly neverending political tug-of-war. Over the years, a pattern had emerged in the relations between the national-communist power of East Brigidna and the Breizighist governments of Strathae and later, Eskkya, bordering it. Again and again, the Breizighists would issue some sort of provocation, followed by negotiations and promises to "not do it again" after the Carpathian response caught the attention of the international community. And several years later, the Breizighists would issue another provocation as they relentlessly hounded the Allied States, for reasons which seemed more and more like they were motivated primarily by a deep, racist hatred against the Carpathian nation and its people.

Once again, the pattern repeated itself. But this time, something was different. This time, Carpathian blood was spilled, innocent blood, the blood of children. This time, Eskkya had gone too far. And this would be the last time the Breizighists would repeat this cycle, the last time they moved the goal post. Clearly, negotiations weren't working. Clearly, diplomacy had failed and now, it was time for more direct, firm and final action, to put a permanent end to the Eskkyan madness which was growing ever closer to a holocaust with each passing day. During the last incident, a line had been drawn and now, despite all warnings, it had been crossed. The time for talks, for endless rounds of pointless and ineffective negotiations, had ended.

Thus, the Allied States had convened in secret with their southern neighbor, the Kingdom of Lomarre, with which the Allied States shared a long history of friendship and deep ties. Secret missives had also been sent out to other nations such as the West Brigidnan Union, the Holy Lanlanian Empire, Nerysia and even Ashford and Keszaria and a proposal had been put together as Carpathia prepared itself not for another round of negotiations with Eskkya, but for war.

As the government of the Allied States readied itself to receive the delegates from its regional neighbors, the military readied itself for the rappidly approaching date when hostilities with Eskkya would commence. Behind the now-closed land border with Eskkya, battalions of troops and columns of armored vehicles were massing even as the Allied States Air Force deployed its fighters and its formidable anti-air defense system, the well-known "Garda" to close off its airspace from potential Eskkyan interference. Military trains brought forth massive railguns, long-range siege artillery platforms, to several staging grounds and special forces began preparing for covert operations as high command drafted up the plans for the invasion.

To the east, the 2nd and 5th Fleet Sections left port to link up with the 3rd, a full three-fifths of the Allied States' powerful navy now on its way south and then west, towards the Middangard Sea. The clock was now ticking towards zero and when it stopped, the sun would set for the final time upon the Breizighist regime in Eskkya.

The massing of troops had not gone unnoticed. The Eskkyan government as a response called up troops got them close to the border. If Carpathia thought attacking was wise they'd have another thing. They did not trust Carpathia simply put. Letters were sent out to the reserves more than 225000 letters. They'd made sure to keep a very close watch on the border. Eskkya re-released the public call to meet to discuss a way forward and potentially a way of co-operating between law enforcement authorities to find the culprit. The government remained determined to find the murderer and had recently got leads from within the restaurant , they were getting ready to swoop in for an arrest. The government would deal with the extremism.They also alerted the SBTO as to the danger. After all an attack on one member was an attack on all members of the alliance something which Eskkya indeed took seriously.

In Soyabar

in soyabar, on the military basisis, alarms sounded. All active military personell was on high alert since the poisoning but now was on the horizon they were double active.
Navy ships and submarines were rerouted for an early supply in handwerpen stad or waited for the crew to arrive to immidiately depart the harbor and set sail to the soon to be warzone in soyabar's front lawn. Consisting at first out of 3 frigats, 2 submarines and 2 floating airships.

The special forces were also ready for once the fightning took place first and foremost to provide humanitarian aid. They were set to ready when the biggest fight east of soyabar could break out.
Moving the material from all around Soyabar to the south to load on transportships together with the bulk of the soyabarian infantary, tanks & crews, and artillery was ready.

The staff wrote a telegram that was maybe to easy to hijjack to the kingdom of Lomarre, a kingdom that helped soyabar out in a diplomatic way, that it had heard from a missive travelling in secret all accros bridgidina but had not yet arrived in Soyabar that Carpathia called Brigidina to war, its ambassadors in both esskya and Carpathia reported massive troop movements and offered to help militarily and diplomatically together with Lomarre if need be. If not, Soyabar would be providing armed humanitarian aid in the warzone.

Carpathia, being a former ally of Soyabar, could not count on much sympathies, but soyabar would glady help out stabbing a dictatorship in the back.
