OOC- Did you even ask Al Andalus about this, HCI? :huh:

OOC-he's not here, he hasn't responded to emails I sent him months ago.

The Royal Dutch States object to the ways that this take over has been taken care off. Sending in armed forces to take over a nation is not the way a Catholic nation should help its fellow humans. We thought you would seek a more diplomatic solution with the local leaders to come to a peaceful arrangement.

Having said this we would like to make it clear we understand your motives and we will therefore accept your take over. We hope to your involvement in this matter will lead to a more stable region and a more peaceful one aswell.

Signed,

Thom de Graaf,

Prime Minister Royal Dutch States

OOC: that's because it is Call of Duty 4, NSWR edition.

IC:

The day after the death of Al-Asad, 2 AM

Days after the assualt on Nasr city by a small platoon of HCI infantry, a full out assualt was conducted on Al-Anduras, with a combination of infantry, naval/aircraft, and armored vehicles. The ground and air were already well into Al-Andulas, however no attacks have been made from the shore-line, the sea assualt was to be conducted by the Orange Berets, who then would seize the Parliament Building of Andulas, and take control of it.

Upon the aircraft carrier 'Corpus Christi'

Lt. Vandeli was a preparing to board the small boats that were waiting on the bottom of Corpus Christi, he already had his armor on, and his weapon (A g36c) was loaded with ammo. He slipped an orange beret over his had, which had the HCI coat of arms sewn onto the front. Orange was not a very pious color, such as purple, or yellow. But it was a bright solid color, made to represent the solidity of the orange berets.

He exited the locker room and walked down to the floor below to join up with his squad, they already got thier briefing, and now they were heading to the boats. they followed a series of narrow corridors and stairwells until they reached a dock-like room in the bottom corner of the boat. 4 boats were waiting there, tied to the dock. He boarded on with his team, and a naval ensign untied the ropes to free the boats. Vandeli's captain: Captain Estali was driving the boat from the back, whilst Sgt. Hermenda was operating the machine gun, none of the other orange berets knew exactly whom Hermenda was, as he was transferred from a rifle division for his heroic bravery shown in this campaign. Vandeli held onto a grip onthe side of the boat tightly as it began to zoom off out of the carrier into the ocean.

The boat then turned around and headed towards shoreline, the thickness of the fog and the night provided amazing cover. The continued towwards until the boat smshed into sand. Vandeli and his team hopped off the boat, and as Vandelli hopped off, the second boat came from behind and knocked him off his feet, as he fell inside the 2nd boat, the gunner of that boat chuckled, and helped Vandeli up, as he tried to regain his footing. He was a little shaken, but he shrugged it off completely, and he regrouped with his team. They were heading towards a 3 story parking garage, where they would hijack a car to take them the Parliament Building, They used some bushes for cover as Estali searched for terrorists, he spoted one out for a walk, and popped his head off. They then advanced to the building, passing through the enterence.

As soon as they got in, Estali called Hermenda over to a car he found. It was a pickup truck with 5 seats, Estali broke the front window, and Hermenda hopped in and hotwired the car. Hermenda then hopped into the passenger seat as Estali took the wheel, Vendeli and 2 others took the back seats, and the final man had to sit in the trunk, "Poor guy" Vandeli thought. Esatli droveour of the garage, and waited for the other 3 other squads to got in there rides and meet up, 3 minutes later they all regrouped and towards the parliament.

To avoid detection, all three trucks split and took seperate routes, Estali decided to continue up the road, and take a left, which would lead him to a gas station, from there he would continue stright until he reached the end of the road, and then after taking another right and drving a few metres right he'd be at the gates.

He floored the acceleration, and headed straight, the window shutters of a building ahead flew pen, and a man poked out - followed by his Rocket Launcher. The orange beret in the trunk aimed for the rocketeer and picked him off quietly, the body flew out the window, and landed on the roof of a smaller building in front. Suddenly, 5 more windows, and like a game of whack-a-mole, they would have to hammer them 1 by one until theres none. Hermenda along with every other man in the truck except Estali (Who was driving) poked out of a window and chose a different target to fire at. they managed to kill them all off, however one terrorist was able to fire a few shots - hitting the trucks door.

Estali made a sharp left turn, making the pickup drift as the sand on the ground got kicked up into the air, making a cloud of dust and debris. He drove forward, followed by a right. He reached the gas station, and headed up the road. With little resistence they were able to finally reach the gates, just as they saw the 2 other trucks pull up. Out of nowhere, an RPG rocket flew into Vandeli's vision, smashing into the other pickup truck 6 some-odd meters away, killing the entire crew. Then another rocket hit the other truck, destroying that one "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE TRUCK!" Cried Estali, as his team abandoned the truck as fast as possible. The team made safe distance before a rocket totalled thier ride.

"Where the fuck did that rocket fly out from?!" Cried Hermenda, who was looking up at the rooftops.

"Found him" Vandeli, who shot the head off the rocketeer.

"Good Shot!" Called Estali "But we've gotta continue inside - without the others!"

His team regrouped, and Estali broke the gate open with C4. His team flooded into the front courtyard, which has a beautiful cobblestone walkway. The walkway leaded to a starcase, which was the entrence. They advanced up the walkway. And before climbing the stairs - machine gunners ambushed the orange berets, they all scrambled up the stairs up to the door, and waiting there, there were about 4 or 5 terrorists, who opened fire. the Berets took cover behind the wall, and Hermenda hurled in a tear-gas, which was smart thinking. With gasmasks on, the Beret's were able to enter, and remove every terrorist in the lobby.

With the lobby secured, they headed up to the stairs to the 2nd floor. they cleared each room 1 by one, quietly amubushing any inhabitants, until the 2nd floor was clear. Afterwards, they headed out to the courtyard, where an Al-Andalus flag was still raised, they pulled it down, and raised the Holy Catholic Imperium flag. This was the beginning of a new era in HCI history, the Portugese have been re-united....

Draxis is against this invasion by the Holy Catholic Imperium (henceforth referred to as HCI)and will not recognize any authority of the region of Al-Andalus that HCI claims over the area.

This invasion will be a determent to Drax-HCI relations.

Draxis will also place its involvement within the JAUST treaty organization, to which both Draxis and HCI are member states, under review in protest of this action.

Why does Kasniya have such a problem with HCI annexation?

Kasniya owns land on almost all contients, so why can't we have this small plot of land?

We have never seized land from another power, so for you to compare conquests to Kasnyia's is an invalid point. We have also not taken plots of land that were challenged by local authorities at the time of its acquisition, and as such have not fallen on the wrong side of JAUST Policy. Kasnyia also is against this because the Pope is against this AND it is against the aforementioned JAUST policy.

The Kasnyians seem to forget even their own history. Not one local authority contested to their expansions?

The annexation of British Colombia?

Greater Shambala?

And all well versed in history know the tale of the Kasnyian Gulf Protecterate... except, apparently, the Kasnyians. That particular colony was very well recieved.

The liability is not with JAUST, but with the HCI. The fact that JAUST is trying to prevent the HCI from this rightful course of action shows that they no longer care about their own treaty, and have sacrificed their pledge to protect the national soviergnty of all member nations.

The Kasnyian Empire, and all nations that contest this, should simply stay out of Iberian affairs. It is not their place, and Hispania will not allow it.

OOC EDIT: Removed something I wouldn't have known, as I am not a member of JAUST.

OOC- I never took over Greater Shambala, and British Columbia has never been a sovereign entity, nor was it challenged at the time of its acquisition.

IC-

We worked with the Caliph of Paradise in regards to the Gulf Protectorate, and had accepted all of it's restrictions. We never talked down to the challengers in that regard.

As for the rest of your accusations, it would do you well to recheck your facts, for they are flawed.

Better yet, allow the Imperium to defend itself. You have stated your support. We know your positions here. Now kindly stay out of the discussion between Kasnyia and the Imperium.

Durick Veta does not recognize this expansion. Alberta was a soviergn state and should be treated as such.

In lieu of Kasnyia's anti-Angelino propaganda regarding our annexation into New Mexico, we rescind our support of their annexation.


We do believe both these situations led to eventual war.

Any discussion Kasnyia has with the Imperium, it has with Hispania. While Kasnyian soldiers kill each other, and natives across the world, the HCI is legitimately reuiniting its homeland from an illegal entity.

Hispania hereby officially recognizes Gassel as the true leader of Kasnyian territories, from India to Greenland to Alexanderhaven. May his reign be one of pride.

Imperialist/Royal Kasnyian ships are not permitted to pass through the Hispanic Strait zone, and Imperialist/Royal Kasnyian aircraft are not permitted to pass through Hispanic airzones, until recognition of the State of Portugal is given.

OOC:

Why is everyone busting HCI's balls on this? Germany invades the Kreigsreich, and even Draxis supports him. Why not support his own ally in Portugal? What's so great about Al-Andalus, a GTO member, that must be defended?

OOC- Its called an RP. :P

And you better think through what you just said about Gassel. The consequences won't be to your favor.

And the Angelino statement had been due to a miscommunication in regards to a conflict that had occured with the NAN. It had been recinded soon after.

IC-

Durick Veta was spreading propaganda due to tensed relations between themselves and the Empire at the time. Alberta was never a sovereign entity. The very fact that you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for excuses is pathetic on the part of the Romano regime.

In regards to the Angelino statement, your information is out of context and thus false for what you are trying to prove.

The very fact that you would recognize the regime of a known terrorist shows where your loyalties truely lie.

The Gassel regime may have had its problems, certainly, but not one man outside of Kasnyia has died for these beliefs.

How many have died in the Netherlands? Only to be sold away to the Nagians like cattle? Scandinavia? Greenland? British Colombia? South America? The Gulf Protecterate? How many dissidents die today? I doubt most of the local population in those regions are thrilled to be ruled by Asiatic Germans who have suffered two civil wars in two years, and can barely keep themselves together. Who has forced themselves into almost constant conflict since their inception? Whose occupation of Scandinavia became the battlefield for a world war?

JAUST, who in their time have housed the greatest colonial empires ever seen, Great New France, Kasnyia, and the Gurai, now step out and refuse to recognize their ally uniting their homeland. JAUST, whose members recognize the expansions across the world of nations such as Germany and the Royal Dutch States, refuses to support their ally in this endevour?

JAUST has sold out its ally. It is a hypocritical organization, an archaic reminder of a time long past. Kasnyia is a schizophrenic empire who barely manages to keep itself together. How many leaders claim legitimate rule? 3? How many continents are its forces spread thinly across? And yet, how many foriegn wars does it force itself into, how many times does it stick its dirty Indian nose where it does not belong, and where the states do not want its imput.

Long life to Imperial Kasnyia. It is certainly the most melodramatic of nationstates, and a great source of entertainment for the rest of the civilizaed world.

OOC:

Hispania will live on, after Gassel, just like Franco's Spain lived on. Nobody wants to deal with it, but are forced too due to strategic positioning.

The Triune Kingdom is disappointed in Hispania's decision to recognize the Gasselist regime as the lawful government of Kasnyia. The Kingdom takes the stance that the King in Alexanderhaven is the lawful Kasynian sovereign, as he was annointed with the holy oil by the Church. However, the Kingdom will deal with Imperial Kasnyian forces out of a policy of realism in Kasnyian affairs, and would deal with Gassel in the same vein.

It is a matter of principle on the part of Hispania. We will not assist the regime beyond recognition, as we will not take formal action against the other Kasnyian entities, however many there may be. However, the hypocrisy of the Imperial Kasnyians especially has prompted this response. If forced to choose between Gassel or the Imperialists, Hispania must side with Gassel.

OOC- Don't be so sure. There are consequences to all actions. You will have yours.

By the way, Gassel ALSO did not recognize the claim. :P

And just so you know, its been more than twenty years between the two civil wars in the Kasnyian timeline.

IC-

Your arguements are laughable and truely show that you know nothing of Kasnyian history, having botched every "fact" as badly as one can.

Gassel, during the civil war, killed hundreds if not thousands of Kiru Taoese, Chirons, and Germans during the war, as well as several hundred innocent hostages during the seizure of the Markus Xavier International Airport, lest you forget the infamous video when he had an innocent young European woman brutally murdered by way of being thrown into a moving aircraft engine?

When the Netherlands had originally been ceded to Swiss Nag Ehgoeg, we had given the subjects of that colony a choice of leaving or staying. We did not force them to remain where they were.

Greenland has no civillians, as it is a military colony. We killed no one during the establishment of Pacifica or Garzburgh. And As we have already mentioned, the Gulf Protectorate was taken not only peacefully, but with the blessings of the Caliph after we negotiated suitable terms.

As for JAUST's position, we do not recognize the territory because it is challenged. And so long as it remains challenged, JAUST will continue to not give support.

We understand that, but the Kingdom does not understand why that should necessiate the reaction against Royal Alexanderhaven, which has had no part in Imperial Kasnyia's actions or words, and has not sought to extend its influence outside of its Persian Gulf setting.

((This is to Hispania. FWIW, I won't be continuing in this dispute since I'm going on hiatus.))

IC:

Ironic that the only true challenger is JAUST? Draxis, Kasnyia, and Austro-Bayern. All nations with ties to JAUST.

Hispania hereby challenges the rights of Kasnyia to Scandinavia. It is an illegal siezure of European lands.

Under JAUST policies, that province is now illegal.

Hispania retracts its statements against Royalist Kasnyia. We recognize it as the legitimate leader of all Non-Imperialist, Non-Gasselist lands.

You forget the statement, "at the time of acquisition." As such, it is not illegal to JAUST policy.

And Austro-Bayern is not a member of JAUST.

OOC: I know, but regardless of how high tensions may get, no nations truly invade solely over words and statements. Unless I take formal action against the Imperialists, or for Gassel, as in supplying either side with weapons or troops, you have no real cassus belli to go to war with Hispania. You can cut off all relations with me, but war is very extreme, especially considering what the post-Gassel period will look like. Kasnyia will be rebuilding, and honestly, would be unable to wage war in the first place, if RPed as it should be.

IC:

Austro-Bayern is an observer of JAUST, or very close to becoming one. Outside the Colognian Pope, no entity other than JAUST and its allies have voiced concern over this. And in Hispania, at least, we believe in a seperation of Church and State, and the opinion of a Pope, regardless of denomination, couldn't mean less.
