The Great Draxis Partition

Russia-Draxis Border, Russian Empire...

With the war still ranging in the German lands, the Russian people had come accustom to the sight of military convoys traveling throughout the Russian countryside. To see a convoy of troops, tanks, and other military vehicles travel towards the Draxis border did not necessarily bring up suspicion from the people. After all, for some time now the Drax had been engaged in their own civil war, Russia itself favoring and supporting the legitimate government of the heir to the ducal throne, Octavian Drax. For the Russian people, most rumors was that it was simply a shuffling of the troops, taking some of the more fresh troops from the border to send them to the German fronts. However, unbeknownst to the Russian people this was not the case.

It had been merely days since the new Emperor, Ivan VIII, had been crowned and married to the new Empress. Certainly no one was expecting such a bold move from such a young monarch but bold, it seemed, was what Ivan hoped his reign would be defined by. Standing just outside his personal vehicle, Lieutenant General Nikitin of the Moscow Military District's Ninth Army survey the road ahead of his troops. The border had not been manned by Drax personnel in sometime now so only Russian border guards stood watch and only refugees had travel to their station. Looking down at his watch he checked the time as his aide came up to him.

"The troops are all geared up sir, we're ready to move on your orders" said the young man, his voice a bit convincing.

"Reservations about our mission?" The Lieutenant General asked.

"Permission to speak freely?"

"Of course son"

"To be honest Lieutenant General it just doesn't feel right. The Drax have been allies of the Empire since the marriage of Tsar Alexei to Tsaritsa Atia. Its like pulling a sword on a brother, it doesn't seem honorable."

"I know how you feel" said the Lieutenant General. "When the orders came down I had to read them several times before I believed them myself. However, we are not going into Drax as conquers, we're going in to restore the peace. This is a peace-keeping mission, the people of Drax have been plagued by civil unrest for sometime now. The Empire has kept its distance out of respect to Octavian Drax but word has not been heard from him nor his supporters in sometime. His majesty the Emperor wishes to know what has happened to his uncles and the Drax people deserve peace."

"I see Lieutenant General, it does make sense."

The Lieutenant General looked at his watch again, "I am glad I could put your mind at ease. The time has come, I'm giving the order to move out at once."

"I will spread the order immediately Lieutenant General" said the aide and with a salute, he quickly moved off. Within minutes the Ninth Army was crossing the border. The road they were travel was a direct line to Arrakan, the capital and that was their destination. Taking the capital was the first step in restoring some kind of order as well as beginning the investigation into what the fate of Octavian Drax was.
________________________________________________________________________________

The Kremlin, Moscow.....

Though the government of his majesty, Emperor Ivan VIII had done a great job in keeping the military operation into Drax a secret, on the day the order was given to cross the border, Kremlin officials announced a press conference. News agencies both in the Empire and some international agencies with offices in Moscow, came out. Many believed that the Emperor was gearing up to announce his new ministers of government. Some had heard rumors of military operations near the border with Draxis but most had dismissed them as simply training exercises to prepare a new wave of troops going to the German fronts. The reporters all gather the Vladimirskiy Hall, a podium with the coat of arms of Russia stood just in the middle of the doorway, seats had been placed before it and two flag poles with the Russian Empire's flag flanked the podium just from behind, on either side.

The room was all abuzz with discussions between the various reporters about what they thought the conference was called for. Camera men took their time making sure their cameras got the perfect shots. Finally footsteps were heard from down the hall and eventually Prince Boris Ribbenzoph V emerged and stood before the podium. Cameras went off like machine gun fire as the Russian Empire's Prime Minister stood there, in his best suit with a rest sash draped across. He asked that everyone be seated and after a small pause he spoke to the gathered reporters.

"His majesty, Emperor Ivan VIII, By the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, would like to thank you all for coming and thank the Russian people for tuning in at home or at work. Since his coronation and wedding only a few days ago the weigh of his position has become apparent. The Russian Empire since the death of his father Tsar Alexei, has become a fragile Empire with the security of Russia under great scrutiny. War in the German regions continue and the very security and prosperity of the Baltic region shall be determined by the outcome of that conflict. However, while his majesty is greatly confident that the allied Baltic Community shall prevail, his is also occupied by concerns closer to the Russian Empire."

"The Grand Duchy of Draxis has been an ally of the Russian Empire since the time of Tsar Paul and his majesty, Emperor Ivan's own uncle, Octavian Drax is the heir of the ducal throne. However, anarchist and traitors to the ducal throne have spread civil unrest throughout the country. Out of respect of the Drax people and the ducal heir, the Russian Empire has maintained an agreement of noninterference, maintaining the borders and ensuring no third party has ever attempted aide in the unlawful usurpation of the ducal throne. However, for sometime now the Russian Empire has been unable to make contact with Grand Duke Octavian nor anyone loyal to his forces. His majesty, Emperor Ivan VIII now feels that for the security of the Empire and to restore order an peace to the Drax people, Russia must act. That is why, as of one hour ago, the Emperor gave the official order to the Ninth Army of the Moscow Military District to cross the border. A peacekeeping force, they shall restore order to the capital city of Arrakan as well as uncover the fate of Octavian Drax.

Now if there are any questions, I shall take them now...."

OOC: I will post a map in my next post, although I can say now that I do not intend to expand into all of Draxis.

Russian Embassy, Kiev....

It had not been 24-hours since the Prime Minister made his announcement that the Russian Ambassador to Quaon, Baron Nikita Dmitriyevich Stroganov, received a phone call from Moscow. Baron Stroganov had served at his positing in Quaon for several decades, the age on his face showing as such. He'd become quite the important man back in Russia, serving as the all-important lifeline to a regime that had choose an isolated foreign policy. A good-standing ally of the Russian Empire, due to no small part to the fact that Quaonians had helped bring Paul Romanov back to power before the Dominion Wars, the Kremlin maintained a good line of communication with Kiev and the two countries prospered under their low-key diplomacy.

The phone call was brief and the Baron had half expected it when news came to his office of Russia's military presence in Draxis. After the call was complete, he received and packed a few faxes in his briefcase before phoning his aid to have his car brought around. Exiting the embassy in his usual discrete manner, he headed straight for the Preisdent's resident. While on route he phone Yanosky's office. "This is Baron Stroganov......yes, I must speak with Prince Yanosky at once......yes....good, I will be there shortly."

“We’re scavengers,” Mikhail Antonovich Puckkov, Deputy Foreign Minister said. “The Russians decide it’s time to put the Drax out of their misery, we come in and pick the meat off their bones. It’s undignified.”

The President scowled at Grigori Pasktukov, Mikhail’s superior, for having brought the loudmouth to this meeting. Grigori sighed. “Mik, we’ve discussed this many times.”

Mikhail ignored Grigori, turning to the President. “Andrei, you understand this. Draxis is as old as Quaon. We’re brothers to Russia’s abusive father. If we were to be intervening to establish order ourselves, that would be entirely another thing. But to do the Russians’ bidding? It’s disgusting, it’s a humiliation.”

“So, war with Russia?” Grigori said, rolling his eyes.

“If need be, if need be! We pretend that the Tsar is the greatest monarch in Europe, ruling all the way to the Pacific. Russia is a rump, tied down fighting the Catholics. We could burn down the Kremlin and institute a proper republic in six months. Make that old bitch Sabine Karpol roll over in her grave!”

“You were the loudest voice demanding we side with Russia against those god damned Catholics!”

“Against the barbarism of the Roman papacy, I side with the Orthodox monarchy. But against the barbarism of the Orthodox monarchy, I side with the Drax, now and forever!”

“The Tsar is a member of the Drax ducal family, for Christ’s sake!”

The President spoke. “Enough speechifying, Mikhail. In a perfect world, would I allow this? Of course not. You speak of the nobility of the Drax, as if this is a new discovery for your generation. I remember the Civil War, how the Drax saved us. But this is politics. Russia will carve up Draxis like a turkey; the only question is, shall we have a piece?”

At that, the Baron, familiar with all the men present, arrived. “My good friend,” Grigori said, “please take a seat. We have much to discuss.”

Baron Stroganov entered the room and after a few handshakes took the seat offered him. "Gentlemen, as always it is a pleasure" he said with a smile. Smiles were returned to him, some genuine while others perhaps less so. He had become somewhat accustomed to this however, after all these were men of Republicanism though why anyone would desire such a disastrous system he couldn't understand. After all, with democracy a country had to deal with a new leader, a new style of government within the span of a few years. At least with monarchy, there was stability and a consistency to the rule of the land. Oh sure, no two monarchs were entirely the same but despite a difference in ego, demeanor, and intelligence, each monarch came from the same family, held similar if not exact values, and tend to rule in much the same way as their predecessor unless the times demanded change. Stability and consistency, who could ask for more?

"I am sure by now Prince Yanosky you've received and saw the announcement from the Kremlin on our operations in Draxis. His majesty has not heard from his uncle in many months now and despite our best probes into the country via our intelligence network, we cannot seem to locate him. Though his majesty remains hopeful he is alive, there is a possibility he is not, in which case the people of Draxis are without a legitimate government."

"Because of this his majesty feels in necessary to restore order as Draxis is an old ally, the oldest, and we have always shared good relations with their people as we have with the Quaon. To that end, peacekeeping forces have been launched and the military believes that it will reach the capital within a day. A complete restoration of order may take longer depending, naturally, on the strength of rebel forces. Now his majesty recognized your nation's interest in assisting the Drax and feels that it would be a good show of cooperation between our two nations, if peacekeeping efforts were a joint operation."

With that the Baron retrieved several small maps from his briefcase, passing them to everyone at the table before continuing.

"Now what you see before you is a tentative map of a division of Draxis between peacekeeping forces from Russia and forces from Quaon. Russia has place special interest in the Crimea but has given much of the mainland to your government to supervise. Naturally, we are hopeful that in time a legitimate government can be formed around a proper successor to the ducal throne. However, Russia is also practical and understand that if peacekeeping operations are to be completely successful, we must also look towards long-term solutions for creating and maintaining stability within the region. This may in fact mean integration of these zones into our two countries respectively but at present it seems premature to discuss such things. At present, the well-being and stability of Draxis for the Drax is what his majesty the Emperor is most immediately concerned over."

The Ambassador sat back in his chair.

"This partition is particular useful in the military strategy that Russia wishes to operate in Draxis. Currently, our forces have only encountered small pockets of rebel insurgency however, we feel that by the time we reach the capital this will change. We intend to push these forces west and, if your government agrees and participates, we may push their forces into yours and together, crush these rebels completely."

Yanosky inspected the map. "Very good, very good, Baron. As you're aware, Quaon already has a very small fleet operating out of Kiensland, based in the Black Sea (OOC: there is an ancient thread attesting to this). This will prove quite beneficial. I would like an understanding, of course, that both Quaonian and Russian naval forces are free to use each other's ports in the Black Sea.

"Now, the question remains: what of Draxis's final constitutional settlement. I have no desire to commit to annexation; the Drax are not Quaonian, and the Quaonian are not Drax. Integrating the two nations is impossible. I thus see the following options as possible:

"One, that Russia annex Draxis directly, while a rump Draxis is maintained under Quaonian protection.

"Two, that the unity of the Drax state is maintained, under the Duke, whomever he may be, with western Draxis being under the sphere of influence of Quaon, and eastern Draxis under the sphere of influence of Russia. In this case, it would have to be understood that the Russian Emperor could never claim the title Duke of Draxis. Nor could the Duke of Draxis become a formal vassal of the Russian Emperor.

"Three, that the Drax state is divided into East and West Draxis, with a single titular Duke reigning over both states. Again, the previous conditions apply.

"And four, that the Drax state is divided into East and West Draxis, and that each protector state determine the government of their protectorate. Under this scenario, the Russian Emperor would be free to assume the title of Duke of Draxis, if he should so desire.

"Further, we should coordinate with the rump Empire of the Romans, the Khanate of Kiensland, and the Transcaucasians in order to maintain the Black Sea as the realm of the Orthodox powers."

Puchkov visibly cringed at the phrase "Orthodox powers."

Baron Stroganov sat nodding his head as Andrei as he listened to what the Quaonian President suggested. For brief moments he scanned the faces of the others but could discern little about how they personally felt about any of it.

"His majesty would agree that a certain level of cooperation between the powers of the Black Sea would be in order. However, since the Georgian War, we've maintained a neutral relationship with the government of Kiensland and given their capitulation to the Scythirians and Nagians during the war, it is doubtful his majesty is willing for any better relations than that. The same goes for the government now occupying Constantinople. However, Russia is in good terms, improving terms I should say, with the Transcaucasians and will undoubtedly be willing to work with them to maintain a peaceful region. Just as we are willing to work with the Republic to this end."

'In terms of Draxis's final constitutional settlement, his majesty his majesty is again hopeful that his uncle, the rightful Duke Octavian Drax is still alive and is therefore publicly against speaking of long-term solutions. Privately, however, he is understanding that his uncle may indeed have met an untimely demise and is willing to negotiate a more long-term solution. In the short-term, his majesty wishes to establish a government similar to your third proposal. Draxis shall be divided into Eastern and Western spheres, Quaon responsible for the west and Russian responsible for the east. We shall establish temporary governments, both of which shall recognize the supremacy of the Ducal Throne but, in the absence of the Duke, shall be free to administer governance as they see fit. The border between the East and West should remain open, allowing free travel. This should given the people the unity his majesty hopes to preserve in the short-term."

"Long-term however, his majesty agrees with your fourth proposal. If a Duke and rightful heir to the Drax line cannot be produced, Eastern and Western Draxis shall be officially divided and fall as protectorate states to our governments respectively. Their governance and administration shall fall for us to decide and the borders shall come under the same rules and guidelines as the current border between Russia and Quaon is administered under. Draxis is a big country and it will take sometime for our investigators and intelligence officers to determine the fate of the House Drax. However, his majesty is also keenly aware that the state of Draxis cannot be kept in limbo indefinitely as it would only serve to further hurt the prosperity of the Drax people. So the Emperor would propose that the transition from short-term to a long-term agreement take five years."

Arrakan, Draxis...

While their government negotiated the finer points on a final solution to the Draxis question, the Russian peace keeping force had never slowed as they made their way along the major roadway towards the capital of Draxis. Having only crossed the border an hour before, Russian soldiers caught their first fight as they came across a pocket of rebels. A small group of resistance fighters, they had the element of surprise when the Russians came across them and struck hard. Yet despite this advantage, their numbers were simply too few and their equipment too inefficient to overwhelm the larger, better equipped Russians. The Russians disposed of them quickly, never truly loosing their momentum as they continued on along the main highway. They came across a few more small groups of resistance fighters along the highway leading them towards the capital, and each time they had the element of surprise but regardless of this tactic, they remained little match for the Russians.

This changed when the Russians finally made the capital city in their sights. Resistance fighters were stationed in a parameter around the capital, holding it captive against any forces trying to enter. The Russians took up fighting these positions almost immediately, using superior artillery fire to greatly punish enemy lines. A bit better equipped than the smaller pockets they had come across before, these fighters also had the aid of a few tanks to which the Russians matched with their own. Though Lieutenant General Nikitin had the possibility of requesting air support, he choose against using the resource. Instead he ordered ground forces forward, using small fire teams to strike efficiently against enemy lines, breaking down defenses. The defeat of enemy tanks was the straw that broke the camels back, leaving rebel lines defenseless against Russian tanks that slaughtered the rebels. Fighting took little over an hour but when the dust settled, the Russians marched triumphantly into the city.

Entering the city, the Russians soon began being welcomed by Drax citizens as they began emerging from their homes. More and more came out the closer the Russians got to the center of town and soon there was a sea of people, cheering the Russians. No doubt these people had endured much under the uncertainty of the civil war. The fighting, crackdowns, and constant change of hands would take their toll on any community. The people of Draxis were a strong people though and it showed on the resilient expressions on their faces. Taking the capital was of course more a symbolic victory in the Russians peace-keeping operations than a true victory. Russian intelligence put more rebel forces west of the capital, in the heartland of the country. That was were the true battles would be found and Lieutenant General Nikitin was well aware of this. For now though, he would give him men some rest and let them enjoy the festivities and well-wishes from the Drax citizens of the capital before they moved out. This would also give him time to check in with Moscow and give them a progress report.

Yanosky glanced at his ministers briefly, then turned back to the Baron. “Yes, yes, that’s quite acceptable. Of course, five years from now, you’ll be negotiating with my successor. Old age is a terrible fate, Baron. May it never befall you.” The two men laughed. “In any case, inform your government that the Quaonian Third Army and Second Armored will deploy to Draxis within the week.”

The Baron shook hands with the President and his two ministers. “It’s always a pleasure to meet with you, Prince Yanosky. Please, offer Lady Yanosky my kindest regards. And the same to your wives, gentlemen, of course. A shame, really, that Quaon doesn’t embrace the enlightened absolutism of a House Yanosky.” He exited.

Baron Stroganov left the president's residence happy that the resolution had been struck. His majesty, the Emperor, would be particularly pleased with the agreement. After all, since the Prince's expression of interest to Ivan at his own wedding party, the Emperor understood that the Quaonians would not have simply stood by and let the Empire move into Draxis. Now with an agreement in place, Russia saw little that now stood in their way with uniting the eastern Drax with the Empire. Once the Baron returned to the Russian Embassy he went immediately to his phone and got in touch with the his Majesty's Foreign Minister. His majesty the Emperor would be informed shortly.
____________________________________________________________

The Draxis Front...

The taking of Arrakan, the capital, was more a symbolic victory than an strategic one for the Russians. Parading down the streets of the capital to the cheers of the people brought great pride to the Russian expeditionary force. With so many losses in the Catholic War, the people back home needed to hear of victory to ensure their support of the army. The men themselves needed the show for their own morale as well and Lieutenant General Nikitin understood this well. He did not entirely press the need to move on from the capital to his men, instead allowing them to enjoy the moment for as long as it lasted. When the cheering crowds died the Lieutenant General then turned his attention west. Advanced scouting parties with the Russian expeditionary peacekeeping force had already located several pockets of high resistance. These areas would have to be secured if the Russians hoped to secure the eastern regions and free the people from these terrorists.

Moving out from the capital and into the countryside, Lieutenant General Nikitin planned to use blitzkrieg tactics against the enemy lines. Since starting their war against the legitimate government, the rebel forces had been one step ahead of loyalist forces and for this reason had so far kept the country in almost perpetual state of civil unrest. The Russians would hit them fast, striking hard against their encampments and leaving little time for the enemy to regroup. This is indeed exactly what the Russians did as they came against the first lines of enemy forces. Striking fast, Russian armor thinned lines while the soldiers them came in to clean up with the armor left behind. The rebels put up a decent fight at first, making a few good hits against the Russian tanks. However, the numbers were simply not in their favor and the Russians soon mowed over them and simply kept pushing forward. With no orders to stop, the Russians pushed forward and when word reached them that the Quaonian Third Army and Second Armored had made their own crossing, they look forward to meeting up with them and crushing the rebels quickly.

The fog of war crept slowly across the countryside of Draxis as Russian and Quaonian forces engaged terrorist rebel forces. In the days that followed the agreement between the two powers, the armies made strong traction against rebel encampments across the inner cities, towns, and villages. The rebels had dung in deep over the past years since the civil war had broken out, they held several key locations throughout the country. Some of the strongest of their held territories were a few of the larger, urban cities of Draxis. These great jungles of steel and glass provided several great locations from which the rebels could defend themselves. High rooftops, narrow streets, and various corners from which to attack gave the rebels every advantage possible against the advancing allied forces. The Russians and Quaonians themselves were well-trained, well-equipped, and highly more organized than the rebel forces. This was, for both armies, their advantage against the rebels and while they held strong positions throughout each city they came across, their ability to fight efficiently against the rebels virtually assured their success.

Naturally, however, their success was not without costs. Many soldiers were injured during the campaign across Draxis and even a few made the greatest of sacrifices, paying with their lives. Thus was the cost of war and each soldier knew well that cost before they had ever set foot in the country. Still it is never easy for a man to watch his brother's life slip away before his eyes. Though the casualties were at a minimal, each man's death was never forgotten by his fellow soldiers. They took it as a personal assault each time a comrade fell and it only served to push them harder against their enemy, ensuring peace for the Drax people. The rebel forces throughout Draxis gave their best against the Russians and the Quaon but they themselves were also tired. For so long they had fought against the Ducal army for the territories they held only now to fight against an invigorated, well-trained, and well-prepared force. Though in many instances they gave a great effort, in the end the rebel forces throughout Draxis fell. Many surrendered, mostly due to the great exhaustion the soldiers had from fighting. Naturally, there were those who were truest to the cause they fought until their deaths. Honorable as it may have seemed it was also futile in the end. When possible the Russians personally attempted to capture the leaders of the rebels, looking to put them on trail for crimes against their state. This was not entirely an easy task and many attempted suicide or attempt to fight to the death rather than be taken peacefully. However, as the dust began to settle, over a hundred conspirators and collaborators were in custody and would soon go on trial for all the Drax and the world to see.

Moscow, Russia

Word from the Kremlin ripped across Moscow quicker than lightening in the night. A press conference was called at the Kremlin and reporters from across the Empire and the world were invited. They gathered in the hall of the Kremlin in anticipation of what the Emperor had to announce though many were well enough informed to know that the information was undoubtedly about the situation in Draxis. His majesty, Emperor Ivan VIII walked slowly down the hallway to the podium. Many of his ministers were in attendance as was representatives from Quaon.

"Good afternoon, you may take your seats. The Grand Duchy of Draxis has, since the time of my grandfather, been a respected and revered ally of the Russian Empire. Since the marriage of my late father Alexei II and my mother, Atia Alexandervicha, the House Romanov and the House Drax have been joined in union and not only that of state but also of friendship and understanding. A week ago my government announced our campaign against the terrorist forces whom have plague the nation for a few years now and have kept its people in civil war. These violent and criminal individuals have sowed fear into the hearts of the Drax and use intimidation and propaganda to further their attempts at usurping the rightful Duke, Octavian Drax. It was by my order that Russian peacekeeping forces enter Draxis, their objective being the cease of hostilities as well as the arrest and detention of all conspirators and accomplices against the rightful government. It was a painful fight but in the end our forces, along with our allies of Quaon, defeated these terrorists and have once again brought peace to a people who have not known of it for some time."

"It will be with the aid of Russian and Quaon officials that these organizers and conspirators against the lawful government of Draxis shall be tried, in Drax courts and by Drax law. They shall be tried and, if found guilty of their crimes, they shall be punished according to Drax law. This is a great test and undertaking for a system that has been suspended for sometime now given the state of civil unrest and instability in the country. However, with Russia and Quaon's help, I am confident that the courts of Draxis shall be more than capable in handling this task and bring justice to the hundreds that have suffered due to these terrorist organizers. To the future of Draxis, the road to a stable and unified country is a long road ahead. Under negotiations with the government of Quaon, as Draxis closest neighbors, we have agreed to share to responsibility of custodians over the state. We shall help the Drax rebuild and in that time, we shall seek to find Duke Octavian Drax. Though I am personally hopeful that he shall be found alive I am prepared with the fact that he may have been killed during the fighting. If this turns out to be the case, then Russia and Quaon will be prepared at that time to help the Drax people forward. For now, however, we will work with stabilizing the local political structure as well as the basic infrastructural needs necessary to help the Drax people move back to a more normal way of life."
