Now the papers on Mateusz's desk were piled to chest level. Daily schedules for the month, reminder for a physical checkup for this year, newspapers, and just papers that needed his signatures. They were all brushed to one side of the desk while he typed away at his computer. The desk phone made a small whistle and an aid spoke up.

"Mr. Tkaczyk, Secretary General Strozky is here to talk to you."

Mateusz pulled his hand away from the keyboard and pressed the speaker button. "Send 'im in."

A few minutes went by and Juliusz opens the door. "Mateusz. Long time no see," he said jokingly. Mateusz looked away from the monitor and made a quick grin towards him. Juliusz sat in the chair across from Mateusz and began to feel comfortable. "News rang from Unistan: Levantin and the HUR are at war."

"No surprises there," Mateusz rasped, looking at the monitor. "Are you saying you want to initiate the new warplan, Strozky?" Juliusz looked to his left and looked out the window which oversaw the mighty Tylissellium Bay. "About that. The HUR is involved in an anti-Levantin coalition, which mostly comprises of western-based nations with the exception of one other country."

Mateusz clicked off the paragraph and looked across the desk to Juliusz. "That is an issue. I suppose we'll have to enter the conflict as a third party. We'll remain neutral with the coalition, but I do expect the warplan will begin."

Juliusz looked back and nodded. "Will there be a war declaration?" Mateusz leaned back in the chair and thought it over. "I'll treat it as expansion, not war. Maybe then the International Court and the rest of Parliament won't get pissed off at us."

Juliusz nodded and stood before giving a firm salute to Mateusz. "I'll get it done."

Seven hours later, the 3rd Task Force split off from the Interiorem Fleet to prepare an SNLF landing. The Task Force is under a cover of jamming countermeasures to protect it from missiles and radars of a Levantine ambush. The Task Force had officially went "off the radar" once it entered the Devlonian Island Chain (that chain on the east of Unistan). The location of the Task Force should be unknown to a foreign fleet.

In the Ankobrystani mainland, defence lines are properly manned and are prepared for an aggressive naval landing. The public is encouraged to purchase war bonds for the effort.
