RP: Under New Management
The rebels have managed to advance with lightning speed across the northern Evacasian flatlands. Huge swathes of territory are captured, all while the unprepared Imperial army rush to create a defence. Heydrich, however, is not a foolish man. He recognises the Empire's main weakness. They are stuck in the ways of the past. They refuse to develop new tactics to fight the rebellion, instead firmly standing by their old methods. These generals, no matter how experienced, have to go.
As the war unfolds, the northern front seems to become ever more important. The rebel advances have managed to tear the line wide open, giving themselves a clear shot towards Pforzheim. Unfortunately for the Empire, this front also seems to be their weakest. Time and time again the rebels have driven their way through defensive lines, such as in the Battle of Külsheim. For this reason, Heydrich has placed a promising new Colonel in the role of Field Marshal. Gerhardt Krüger, Colonel of the LXXXII Brigade in the northern front, has been made Field Marshal of Army Group North. Heydrich hopes this fresh new commander can change the fate of the northern front, possibly even the war as a whole.
RP: Slowed to a Halt
Just weeks after Gerhardt Krüger's promotion, the rebel advances in the north begin to slow. This is partially due to the fact that the rebels are approaching the tough terrain of the Evacasian interior, though it is undoubtedly worsened by the clear expertise of the theatres new Field Marshal. Krüger becomes feared; rumours of the remorseless Imperial commander spread like wildfire through the shaken rebel troops. They cannot let him stop them however, the fight must go on. The success of the rebellion is reliant on the success of the north, they cannot let these rumours distract them. The fight continues through the grueling forested wilderness, slowly but surely they advance to Pforzheim.
RP: The Wesselburn Conference
The Empire must change their tactics if they are to win this war, there is simply no other way. Having been promoted to Field Marshal, Gerhardt Krüger calls for a meeting with fellow Field Marshals Johann Scholz (Army Group Centre) and Karl Böhm (Army Group South) to discuss their plan for pushing back the rebel lines. By this point, the enemy forces had reached the city of Angelstadt, the half-way point between Düblinei and Pforzheim. This conference was to decide how the Empire would respond to this threat. The three Field Marshals would now decide upon their plan of action, with the fate of the nation hanging over them.
After five days of debating, discussing and deliberating, the three commanders had formulated their war-winning plan. The strategy, codenamed 'Operation Ember', was to go into effect soon after the Field Marshals returned to their stations.
RP: Operation Ember
The plan consisted of two main components: the retreat of Imperial forces to easily defensible locations, and the sudden and concentrated attack by Imperial units into the salient that had formed north of Pforzheim. The attack was to cut off the northern rebel forces, isolating them to be easily crushed. It's hard to see how the Empire could defeat the rebels if this plan were to fail; the attack relies heavily on the element of surprise, as to date no major Imperial offensive has been launched. They are relying on Operation Ember to win them the war, and Field Marshal Krüger is bearing the brunt of the pressure.
-|ROLEPLAY: The Arkostan-Lirana War
The Second Imperium of Arkosta, under the guise of the Arkostan sovereign Konig Friedrich Edwin Von Jagerfaust, has declared a legitimate war, under the pretexts of the Lirana's cowardly assassination of Arkostan diplomat Wilbert Aladaberd Brauner, who was sent to the LCS 'Venom' Destroyer to compromise a way to peacefully steer out of the waters of war, and their subsequent attack on Arkostan naval vessels. The Arkostan reserve fleets which acted as a defense fleet for the diplomatic force of ninety-one ships, mainly corvettes, and destroyers, have been given new directives to return to Arkostan waters, where preparations for a very aggressive assault by the Lirana are expected, whilst any surviving naval vessels from the close-quarters combat with Lirana ships are to do the same. As these fleets retreat, they are to begin dropping traps, such as anti-ship mines and assaults from small four-five plane teams of torpedo and dive-bombers, and deter the Lirana from advancing, as information of Lirana vessel numbers is being counted from the retreating diplomatic fleet. The aftermath of the initial outbreak of war has been counted to 29-30 warships, mainly corvettes and one of Arkosta's battleships, out of the ninety-one ships, while another eight ships have become immobilized due to the damage to main engine rooms and fuel compartments. However, while the surface ships have begun their tactical retreat, Arkosta's fearless and silent killers; U-Boats, will be spread across the Bay of Pontricaire to sink other submarines, transport, and war vessels. Because of the fact that these submarines are less advanced than those of Lirana design, due to the technological gap between the two of the nations' militaries, the U-Boats will travel in small wolfpacks of two to three vessels and will rely on luring and ambush tactics to sink enemy subs, as well as surface reconnaissance from aircraft. When the ships arrive in Arkostan waters, they are to refuel and rearm, while damaged ships will begin heavy repairs, and spread out across surrounding international waters to disallow flanking attack. The ships are to be organized into three layers of defense to fit with the currently needed war doctrine. The first layer will be mainly be made up of fast-attack torpedo and anti-air gunboats, corvettes, destroyers, and a few bigger ships, such as battlecruisers and heavy cruisers. Acting as a mobile defense, and even offense when needed, the ships will perform patrols across water and setup anti-ship traps. The second layer of defense will be made up of various battlecruisers, cruisers, battleships, frigates, cruisers, and destroyers and will be used as the main 'Iron Wall' against the Lirana threats offensives. Artillery, weapons platform, and aircraft carriers will make up the last line of ships, using their support weapons and capabilities to immediately aid the defense of a sector or region. Naval airforce aircraft will begin routinely patrols and small assaults on Lirana ships to further deter and break up their fleet.
With the Imperial Army nearing full-mobilization and strength, with columns upon columns of armored vehicles and infantrymen being immediately deployed to the 'sea-front', where they will take entrenchment of the various laid out fortifications and outposts that make the nation's coastal defenses and arm said fortifications and positions with anti-ship, tank and infantry weapons, as they begin preparing, both strategically and mentally, for a possible Lirana breakthrough and beach landing on Arkostan soils. Although suitable spots for an effective landing would be stretched and few, which can result in severe disorientation and effective dispatching of said enemy troops, the Arkostan Imperial Armed Forces are taking no chances, seeing as any possible entrance into Arkosta lands have been blocked off by natural or manned structures, such as fortifications and sand mass structures, followed by anti-infantry/tank mines and small infantry foxholes on the ground, whilst heavier fortifications are placed on the cliffs for a greater perimeter view. Bunkers will be placed with Arkostan's most powerful anti-armor weapon, the 20.1cm Assualt Gun, and will be supported by smaller 12.8cm and 10cm anti-tank guns. Infantrymen are to begin planting machineguns and take stationary posts, with support troops consisting of engineering, reconnaissance, and communications teams. Armored vehicles, especially assault guns and tank destroyers, will be placed behind lines as reserve forces, with only a few heavier tanks and self-propelled guns being placed for infantry support at the front.
The Imperial Airforce will start deploying a large portion of its total aircraft, with many aircraft being sent to nearby airfields and bases near the coast, for their respective operations, patrols, and other directives. Mainly focusing on air superiority and constant patrol doctrine to ensure that the airspace is secured, and any incoming attack aircraft can be intercepted, aircraft will fly at different levels, working in conjunction to pursue and engage an enemy target. The lower aircraft will be the lighter ones, allowing for quick speed and maneuverability, in exchange for having less armaments. They will spot the enemy aircraft, while the upper aircraft, which is more armed than the lower ones, will use built-up energy from a short drive to rip apart enemies with their stronger armament. Naval aircraft are to deploy a similar tactic, using multiple layers of aircraft to spot and destroy enemy aircraft and ships. The only exception is that naval aircraft will be armed to the teeth, as they will take more daring missions such as targeting enemy submarines and vessels. As of now, the Imperial Armed forces will start the deployment of dozens and dozens of heavy close-air support aircraft and bombers, escorted by fighter-bombers, to engage enemy ships. The first assaults will begin by the start of nightfall after reconnaissance from submarines has proven safe for the attack. The assaults will mainly pick top-surface ships and any warship will be regarded as an enemy. ( Artaecus, Dwarf land4 )
Small anti-air stations and heavy fortifications can be seen around cities and important strategic points, as civilians are evacuated by civil and military forces.
The Return
Following permission from The order of the fallen the Holy Church has sent back its missionaries to spread the word of its ever so beautiful faith. With this of course the Ordo Hospitalis has returned along with mercenary guards to protect the establishments owned by the church and their individual orders.
Anomalies in the system
"same sh*t, different day", Colonel Siren said staring towards a suited figure across from herself, their face shrouded in darkness. "This religion, this god we believe exists is nothing but a false tribal instinct humanity has, believe in something higher... Hell the atheists in the Clergy probably say what we believe is a good thing but what they won't tell you is that its about controlling the population and sucking them dry.", Siren added.
"good....We hold similar beliefs", said the figure with a monotone voice.
they'd then step from the darkness, the figure is young, maybe nineteen years old though it was visible under the suit the man was muscular as if they's been training their whole life.
"My...Employers need someone like you.", he'd then smile. "Will you.... join our little organization? You'd be a great asset?".
Siren looked a bit confused why this strange man asked her if she'd be a great asset. She truly had no clue, he seemed to know more about her than anyone should about a commanding officer.
"Erm.... yes?", She'd reply.
"Excellent..", the man then smiled once more then walked off, Siren seemed to be frozen in place... was it shock? or was it fear... something she hasn't felt since she joined the military.
"Let's get to work...", the man then said to himself as he entered the back of a black car.

RP: How rude!
Icewindia thinks comment is Rude. Icewindia reminds Schwpia that by sending Naval Attache's while they would learn Accord Stategies and Mehodologies it would be a step forward to Joint-Naval Excersizes between Icewindian Navy and Archron. Which would allow The Accord to Learn Icewindian Naval Doctrine, Strategies and methodologies. Shogun wonders if Empress Rose will choose Icewindia or her Faction. This is bound to heavily Impact Relations, for good or for worse.
RP: Automating Ship Building
Luwuia is announcing a 1 Billion Dollar initiative to automate the shipbuilding process to drastically accelerate the speed at which Luwuian Navy ships are built. The initiative should finish within 8 years and by that time Ship building should be 80% Automated which the DOD projects will decrease the time it takes to build a Destroyer by 30% and an Aircraft Carrier by 10% with times decreasing even more so as technology advances.
RP: ships sipping silver
The econ groups, mainly the Techno sector, have decided that this is another opportunity to inflict prosperity growth as well as profits for the companies. The Commerce Guilds are willing to provide manpower and ship building facilities and share their own techniques for high level contracts and deals regarding the ships. The Trade Clans, realizing that this will be demanding much by way of material, is willing to ship the materials and components for a far cheaper price than what the other companies in the nation can offer. The Banking federation has also proposed to provide millions and if necessary, billions to the nation by way of loans to help fund the project, even offering to lower the interest rates and offer extra lines for credit if needed. Finally, the Techno sector has offered to help spearhead the project with its own highly advanced methods and extremely powerful factories that pump out needed parts and machines to complete the project for less extreme prices.
RP: the wheels turn
Quickly and effectively, pans and operations are put into effect and multiple ships head into Luwuia to begin gearing up operations while the groups establish the initiatives on each front of production

Lirana aircraft have been given orders to engage the Arkostans, and to evaluate the risks. The primary targets given are the fleet carriers and battleships, followed by any escort carriers. The 4th fleet is beginning to move out to support the 3 fleets engaged, with the Time of arrival expected to be in a month. Offers have also been given to any government or private entity to begin construction of Auxiliary floating drydocks, with the exception of Kavastor
RP: Building Connections
The Blayredeshian arms manufacturing company known as the Rey Arms Company has reached out to the government of Dwarf land4 to offer their services in the construction of auxiliary floating drydocks for the country. The Company estimates it will require less than 8 months to complete one dry dock and another 2 months will be required for it to reach Dwarf Land4, and will cost 890,000 Blayre Marks per dry dock. Blayre Marks are roughly worth the same as a Dwarven Onyx. The Rey Arms Company is a Texar based arms company owned by the Breck Family; an elite Blayredeshian family with connections to the Emperor and the owners of the Texar Oil Company as well as Biaf Motors.

RP: I can't count the reasons I should stay
As election day is tomorrow, people are piling outside of election centers. Tomorrow, the fate of the country will be decided. Tomorrow, everything might stay the same, change for the better, or take a turn for the worst.
RP: Arms Deal
Luwuia and Kavastor have made an Arms Deal agreement where Luwuia will buy 200 Air Superiority Fighters and 200 Long range bombers. Luwuia will also be sending Kavastor the schematics for the L8A1 Main Battle tanks and have Kavastor produce approximately 1000. The deal will cost Luwuia 2 Billion Dollars but the money spent will be well worth it.
Dushkaria
RP: Naval Bases
Dushkaria is offered to use Icewindian Naval Bases to refuel and re-arm at as long as they pay for repairs and re-supply in Safe Ports.
Icewindia asks Dushkaria if its lead by a Monarchy or a monarch, King/queen or Emperor/Empress of a sort.
Should they accept this offer this it could help tip balance in the War. Icewindia's position makes it Strategically close to Luwuia. Dushkaria is halfway across the World.... and finding Re-Supply out here must take a while....
RP: Stop Selling Guns, Tanks, Ships.
Kavastor
Luwuia
Icewindia asks if Kavastor would stop selling Military goods into Luwuia or it would kick Kavastor off Dejia Trade City and it would threaten Alliance Kavastor holds with Icewindia. Afterall Icewindian Alliance Protects Kavastor from outside Threats.
Icewindia does say Civilian goods are allowed to be sold to Luwuia but not Military or War Time Materials.
For Luwuia it can see Icewindia has aligned against the Federal Republic. Eyes of the Rising Cold Empire is looking West.

RP: Millions March in Protests Against "Unjust Investigation" into HLG
Bucuresti, Rumania - Over one million protesters gathered and marched down the iconic Bulevardul Palatului and Bulevardul Unirii in Central Bucuresti to protest the IIM's investigation into the HLG. Protesters lead by Petru Condreanu filled the streets of the city for hours, essentially shutting the whole city down for the day. Protesters marched through the streets speaking out against the government and burning republican flags while showing their support for Ferdinand and Condreanu. The protest was marked by several confrontations between protesters and police that ended in several arrests and two protesters hospitalized with severe injuries. The injured protesters and police response prompted a second, smaller protest the following days which was mainly targeted police and saw several more arrested for destruction of government and private property. Similar, smaller protests happened in other cities across the nation and has been a wake-up call to the citizens of Rumania; the severity of the crisis is much larger than originally believed and another conflict is on the horizon if something doesn't change.
RP: Ana-Maria II Abdicates; Coronation of King Mihai IV
Iasi, Rumania - Queen Ana-Maria de Hohenzollern-Strelitzas II has abdicated as Queen of Rumania with Mihai de Hohenzollern-Strelitzas IV as heir. Normally, the process of a monarch abdicating and the next's coronation is a long and ceremonial process that takes several weeks; however, due to the increasing political tension in Rumania and the contention surrounding the Monarchy, the full-coronation process could not occur and instead, Mihai was hastily coronated King of Rumania and assumed the throne. Soon after Ana-Maria's abdication the pro-Ferdinand HLG party organized several protests outside of Mihai's residence in Iasi; preventing the King from leaving for several days. Prince Ferdinand, in exile in Icewindia, called Mihai an illegitimate heir, claiming the throne for himself. In the wake of the coronation, Prince Ferdinand has ordered his some 300,000 troops in exile to ready and has reportedly prepared his invasion of Rumania. The Rumanian Government has made no official comment on whether or not they believe the invasion is truly coming.

RP: Preparations are Made.(Extremely Covert)
Esolda herself returns from Achron to inspect Conscripts, The Airforce and the single ship given to Rumania along with conscripts seperating them from there Rumanian Comrades and Officers for a moment.
Esolda realizes conscripts dont have alot of motivation and even then 40% Causualties leads to troops retreating on Normal Circumstances. She doesnt want this so she decides to really Motivate them.
She tells them that if they fail she will not only slaughter then but slaughter there Famalies and Communities. Should they succeed however they will get an Independent Nation, free Religious Freedom, There own Government and Right to Vote! She basically puts them in a position where they have to fight to the death and motivates them to actually fight for great risk has great reward at end.
Also for smarties among Conscripts who think Surrendering to Rumanian Republic will save them she makes it clear that if Invasion should start faltering she will not hesitate to bring her own Armies in and burn down every POW Camp including them because to surrender to the enemy results in Death. So best they not do that.
After that she allows them to go back under command and lets them prepare. She tells "King" Ferdinand that she motivated troops and there under his direct command now. Furthermore she asks that if momentum slows down or Invasion starts to Falter to immediedly contact her as she will bail them out.
((You can command airforce, Ship, Conscripts given to you without needing to ask me. If you dont remember Airforce #'s or Ship just reference this.))
