Second Prussian-Sense War
-
The Situation in Singabolah
Within thirty hours of the first entry into Reichland, some forty sorties had been flown and around 13 000 Reichen civilains airlifted. A massive fleet of civil and military aircraft had been requitioned for the formidable task; from Singabolah Airlines Boeings to C-130s right down to Piper Warriors of the Youth Flying Club. They clogged all available air routes into the country, landing at whatever airstrip that had not been cratered by runway denial munitions.
The operation was progressing quickly. However, the population of Reichland (excluding all able-bodied men, who had opted to stay and fight) went well into the millions, and even if all the aircraft in the world were to be to Reichland, they still would never be able to whisk all of them away in the short span of time left. It is near impossible to carry out large airborne evacuations; it consumes too much fuel and saves little. It also carries political reprecussions as well, as the Israelis found out went airlifting Fashalas out of Ethiopia.
If only Prussian and Reichen aircraft could be released to help in the evacuation, then thier task could have been much easier. However, Foreign Minister Jayapapaya had advised Emperor Kaiser not to let any Reichen aircraft participate in the airlift, as they did not want a repeat of the Filght 30 incident. Prussia's air force had also been completely grounded. Despite its apparent willingness to help, SENSE panners were suspicious that Prussia would attempt to assist its Teutonic sister state should war break out.
The mission of the rescue workers was further impeded by the refugees that they were sent to evacuate; most were adamant to go and insisted on staying and fighting to death. Occasionaly, some patriotic Reichens would add to the confusion of the moment by breaking out into rousing renditions of 'Reichland Uber Alles' at irregular intervals. It took some coaxing on the part of the Singabolan pilots and crew to convince them to board the planes.
There were tearful seperations and farewells, as men saw their wives and children off, most likely for the last time. It was a heart rending sight, affecting even the surliest Singabolan Ah Beng on the rescue flight.
On departure from Reichland, the aircraft would turn and make for the Sea of Fuschs, where they passed through the Xing Shianan naval cordon unmolested. Much waves and friendly smiles were passed between the two sides, but the Singabolans were worried that the Xing Navy would 'accidentally' illuminate them on radar and send several SAMs streaking their way. They seemed very prone to making mistakes these days. As a guesture of goodwill, the Singabolan escorts carried only four Sidewinders each for self-defence, and allowed themselves to be herded by XSN X-35s through the blockade.
Upon arrival in Singabolah, the transports disgorged their human cargo, who were quickly ushered into buses at the airports. These brought the Reichen refugees to camps that had been hastily erected outside major cities to accomodate the massive influx of refugees. While not exactly five-star hotels, the camps were made as comfortable as the budget allowed. Each could hold up to two thousand internees. On arrival at the camps, the refugees were briefed in English and German on the current situation and the camp regulations. Thoroughly bewildered, they given their sleeping and food allotments before being released.
Most began immediately preparing to set up camp, or took advantage on the free handouts being offered by aid workers. A massive donation drive in Singabolah had taken place, but the results were quite disapointing, most Singabolans being a miserly bunch and suspicious of helping the tradional enemies of SENSE. Disgusted by their inactivity, several prominent members of the society had stepped forward to offer finacial help and goods. The work of these philantropists did not go to vain; suddenly, medical supplies, clothes, food and other sundry items were available to the refugees.
Meanwhile, the Singabolan government had made its decision. The 32nd Division, spear head of the Singabolan armoured forces, and the 21st Division, consisting of semi-elite Singabolah Guards units, would be deployed to Prussia to participate in an invasion alongside the forces of Xing Shiana, 440 and 220 MHZ, and Shingapooru should a war on Reichland be declared by the War Council. They would also stay for the subsequent peace keeping operations that would follow the fall of Reichland. In addition, a squadron of F-16Cs would be flown into provide air support to the Guards and the tankees. Singabolah would also provide behind the lines support, along with 440 MHZ.
When the Reichen refugees saw this, many were disgusted with the Singabolan government's apparent double standards. They were especially unhappy that they were now being incarcerated by enemies of their country. Rumbles of discontent rippled among the camps.
Meanwhile, ethnic Germans in the capital Singabolah City had emerged to stage peace rallies; these gatherings were quickly suppressed by Singabolan security services. -
Last Favour
"Your Majesty,Singabolah has decided that they will be part of the invasion force."
One of the many intelligence officers reported to Andreas.
"It is expected,they are allies with our enemies afterall,and yet they have did us a big favour by airlifting our citizens."
"send a telegram to Herr Jayapapaya," Andreas wanted something done before war begins.
"Herr Jayapapaya,our nation thank you.I have one last favour to ask of you.Please arrange the safe departure of my wife Sharon.Use force if necessary,i know she will not leave.Also,pass the message to my people that ,they should not show discontent,if my men and i fail in my task,the task of rebuilding the Fatherland will be in thier hands." -

To: Andreas Kaiser, Emperor of Reichland
Subject: Empress Sharon
Your Highness,
You have my word that the Government of the Republic of Singabolah will do everything within its power to ensure that the Empress Sharon arrives in Singabolah safe and unharmed. You must realise, though, that whatever extraction operation we mount must be clandestine and carried out in the utmost secrecy, for I fear that the possibility of her being used as a political bargaining chip against you is too great a risk to be ignored. In addition, you would understand that should she be compromised, it would put my country into a somewhat difficult position, as it would be interpreted as collaboration with the enemy. Our General Staff is currently hard at work formulating a plan, but please understand that there are no 100% garauntees. Some situations are beyond our control.
In the meantime, please prepare Her Majesty and two attendants of her choosing for departure. If you would want any other member of the Kaiser family out of Reichland, we would be glad to assist you.
However, I'm afraid that this will be the last service that we can undertake for you, as war is imininent. I hope that you can understand this as well.
Yours sincerely,
J.B. Jayapapaya

Reichland
At 11pm that night, another seemingly routine Singabolan humanatrian mission crossed the no-fly zone into Reichen airspace. It consisted of two Boeing 767s, a C-130 and two Republic of Singabolah Air Force F-15SI Eagles flying escort. To the uniformed or curious observer, nothing seemed overtly suspicious. However, upon closer examination, some details on the nature of the true mission would be revealed. Like how the Hercules was in actual fact not a Hercules at all, but rather a Spec Ops MC-130E Combat Talon for covert insertion/extraction work, and how the Eagles carried two extra drop tanks than usual, ECM pods and AN/ALQ-184 radar jammers.
Upon reaching the Xing Shianan naval blockade, the flight leader and the captain of a Xing Shianan DDG exchanged pleasantries before being waved through. A X-35 haloed the flight, carefully monitoring the activites of the rescue planes.
Little did the pilot know that he himself was under the scrutiny of another. An E-2C Sentry was orbiting the boundary between Singabolan and international waters. It made no attempt to conceal its prescence as it was, of course, impossible to hide from the superior Xing Shianan radar, not only from the ships, but also from land based stations in 440 mHz and the fleet's own AWACS. Also, being an allied aircraft, the surveillance bird hardly qualified as a threat, let alone a piority target, and was thus left more or less to its devices.
What it was monitoring was not the fleet nor its aircraft, but rather transmissions that would indicate that the mission had been compromised. On doing so, the Sentry would issue an abort order, and would scramble back to Changi Airbase as soon as possible.
By now, the flight had reached Reichen air space, Immediately, the two 767s broke off from the rest of the squadron and landed at wartorn Kaiserlautern International Airport to take on refugees. Neither of the two airliners' crew had any real indication what the military planes that had escorted them were really up two, but they quickly shelved these suspicions when they began loading passengers onboard. They had a job of their own to do, and had precious little time to do it.
The MC-130 and the F-15s proceeded to land at a military airfield somewhere outside the capital. Once on the ground, the MC-130 began disgorging men clad in black ninja gear and wearing night vision goggles, all of them cradling Uzis. They immediately fanned out and established a safe perimeter, much to the suprise and consternation of the ground crew.
The air traffic controller at the tower was about to ask them what the hell was going on when an even stranger thing happened. A black limo with flags on its bonnet represnting the Reichen Royal House pulled onto the tarmac. Two men in suits got out and started conversing with the leader of the commandos. At the same time, he received a phone call from the Reichen Ministry of Security, coldly informing him that everything he saw taking place on the tarmac never happened. The air controller took the hint and hurriedly went back to his work.
After a short while, three men left the Talon. They wore heavy overcoats and hats; a very odd appearance from people who supposedly come from a tropical country. The trio were ushered into the limosine by the two men in suits and the car burned rubber as it left the airfield, heading in the direction of the Royal Palace. -
Yes to Internees; No to Empress
From: Lee She Lang, Prime Minister of Singabolah
To: Matteus Tyrannus Tan, Xing Representative to SENSE
Subject: Empress Sharon
The suspects that you have requested will be handed over to SENSE at once, if the information they hold proves vital to the war effort.
Unfortunately, we are quite unable to accede to your first request. With all due respect, the Empress is a guest of our country. We have given our repeated assurances to the Emperor of Reichland, with which we are soon to commence hostilities, that we will not subject her to any form of questioning, internment or abuse of any sort. Furthermore, we do not believe her to possess intelligence of any interest to the War Council. She is merely the wife of Andreas Kaiser, and I highly doubt that he would share any sensitive state secrets with her over the dinner table. Her usefulness as a reliable source of ilitary intelligence is absolutely nil.
If really you must insist on interrogation, we will consent to doing so provided it is conducted in Singabolah under the supervision of the SENSE Security Council, but please bear in mind that we will not tolerate any form of disrespect or ill treatment towards the Empress herself.
Yours Sincerely,
Lee She Lang
Prime Minister
Republic of Singabolah -
Sea of Fucshs
"Sir, I think we've been discovered," a crew member of the E-2 announced much later.
Xing Shianan radio chatter had increased dramatically, and the crew of the Sentry could count no less than four X-35s on deck prepping for take-off.
The captain of the Sentry immediately spoke into his radio tersely. "Khoo Bye Flight, this is Specky, RTB, I repeat, RTB, abort mission, over!"
"That's a negative, Specky," came back the equally worried reply. "We are already on ground awaiting arrival of 'Queen Bee.'"
The captain swore. It was too late to go back now. He turned to his crew, who looked back, nervous and tense.
"We'll need to find an alternate exit for the Khoo Bye Flight to get out of Reichland."
"Siow ah!" his navigator blurted out. Then, stopping himself, he said, "Uh, I mean, every possible route into and out of Reichland is covered. There's no way we can get them out without them noticing."
The captain cursed out loudly in Hokkien. Then, an idea struck him. "Get me Reichen air control. I have a plan." -
Nobody Do Anything Stupid...
“Tallyho… there they are...” The Bobcat pilot radio on microburst encrypted “dark” radio to the rest of his flight as they sighted their objectives. This flight of 24 Bobcats would be the leading elements of a hastily assembled mission involving over fifty aircraft, flying anything from combat air patrol to electronic warfare support.
It was unlikely the aircraft they had now on their Low Probability of Intercept radars had any indication that Xing Shianan aircraft were so close to it, the Bobcats had been flying on strict radio silence and with their radar reflectors turned off, loitering around a large area in which they expected their quarry to pass on the extraction phase of their mission. Now the prey had arrived. Flying from above, the Bobcats swooped slickly to close behind their objectives, using the cloud for cover. They tailed the aircraft, unnoticed, until they reached a break in the clouds, it was time.
“Let them see us.” The flight leader ordered. The 24 Bobcats gunned to full military power, dumped their radar reflectors to maximum return, and split into four groups of six, two of which thundered past the unsuspecting aircraft they had been tailing and two of flank them while the last two tailed behind.
The aircraft they had been tailing, two Singabolah F-15 Eagles and an MC-130E Talon were effectively boxed in. They had taken the bait, diverting their flight path after thinking their mission had been compromised from falsified information. The resulting new flight path had taken them straight into the Bobcats which had been lurking in the area.
“This is the 122th Raptors of the XSS Holtz.” The leader radioed to the Singabolah aircraft as he parked himself off the wingtip of an F-15, looking straight at the startled pilot which stared straight back. “Divert your flight path to the following coordinates immediately.”
He proceeded to radio to them the new coordinates. The bay doors of the Bobcats opened mechanically for the Singaboleans to seeÂ… -
Second Stroke
At that moment the Xing Shianan the electronic warfare aircraft already in flight powered their ECM gear to the maximum output setting and pounded the Singabolah E2-C Sentry with electronic jamming so severe that the pilot found it impossible to talk to his own crew over the intercom, having to resort to shouting from his cockpit as he turned the aircraft away to put some distance between him and the Xing Shianan Bobcats that had “destealthed” in front of his position from SENSE territory.
Meanwhile, the crew of the E2-C found that their electronic equipment was badly scrambled and on the verge of overload from all the incessant electromagnetic energy that was pounding saturating their aircraft. It was impossible to communicate with anybody electronically, inside, or outside the aircraft.
The intentions of all the players in this game were now known. -
Rioting Breaks Out in Reichen Refugee Camps
12 May,2009
Tampenis, Singabolah(XNN)------ Fighting broke out today between Singabolan troops and Reichen refugees in several camps today following the Singabolah Government's agreement to hand over Reichens suspected of having vital military intelligence to the SENSE Security Council.
Singabolan troops had to use tear gas and water cannon to disperse frenzied Reichen mobs which appeared in force at the sixteen major camps in Singabolah. Amidst the chaos and the confusion, it is unsure how many are dead or injuired, although offical sources estimate three dead and 150 wounded.
"This is proof that no SENSE member can be trusted! These Singabolans are just nothing more than a lot of [Censored] hypocrites who made empty promises to us about a safe haven from those mad SENSE schweinhund, and then hand us over to their evil puppet masters, the Xing Shianans!" Hermann Fritz, 14, raved at reporters today. Fritz is an occupant of the Sunny Welfare Camp for Displaced Reichens, located outside the Singabolan city of Tampenis.
"We can not take this lying down! All Germans, Reichen and Prussian alike, must rise up now and overthrow the oppressive SENSE slavedrivers, before they destroy the Germanic race entirely! SEIG HEIL!!! REICHLAND UBER ALL-"
Here Fritz interupted by a Singabolan soldier wielding a baton, who promptly bashed his teeth out and dragged him off. One of his collegues, Coporal Boh Cheng Hu, 20, offered his opinion on the matter.
"Wah lau! I tell you ah, these [Censored] ang mohs really too much ah! We sayang them, give them food and let them stand there shake leg, but now see lah! I tell you, this is all the fault of the gahmen. So enthu, always want to bring in 'foleign talen,' now see what happen!"
At this point, Cpl. Boh was distracted by a Reichen who was in the process of a hurling Molotov cocktail at a soup kitchen. He ran over and began assualting the man with a table leg.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, who run the camps, has assured the public that the situation is well under control.
"There is nothing to be concerned about. The unrest in the camps is nothing more than a group of trouble makers trying to sow discord." a Ministry Spokesman said at a press statement earlier today.
It is not certain how much the riots will cause in terms of financial damage, but the political reprucussions are being felt already. Torn between its pro-SENSE stance and helping the Reichland, the riots have been a big setback for the anti-war faction in Singabolah Parliment, who argue that the riots were caused by the current administration indecisiveness in foreign policy.
"I tell you, Lee and his cronies have really [Censored] up this time," says hardline Opposition MP Francis Siow Ting Tong. "There is no such thing as peace with the Krauts. I say we throw in our sticks with the rest of SENSE and go hantham them back to Germany!" -
Errr, the MC-130 and Eagles are still on the ground, waiting for Empress Sharon, but nevermind.
Following the severe electronic lashing given to them by the Xing Shianan EW aircraft, the E-2C limped back to Changi with severly wrecked equipment and an unconcious crew member who had been on air monitoring radio signals just before the bombardment. As the plane touched down, the captain swore to himself. Their mission had been a failure, and The Xing Shianans had outsmarted them. Now, there was nothing they could do but leave the Eagles and the Talon grounded in Reichland. There was now no other option for Singabolah to avoid an international incident other than to hush up the botched operation, meekly toe the line and join in the war with Reichland.
However, there still was a shred of hope left to get the Empress out of Reichland. The captain just hoped that his flash message had gotten there before they had been taken out. -
Sorry, fast forwarded the time frame 45 min
-
Gotta wait for FF to reply. I hope my 'secret plan' has gotten through to him though, hee hee.
-
The Final Farewell
"Kapitan Gustav,the country's hope lie in you now.Do not fail me." Andreas fought back his tears as he said this,afterall,he was a normal man also.
"Sharon,you MUST go!This is my will!The hope of Reichland should i fail will be your duty." Andreas signaled the two Royal Guards who will be going with the Empress to forcibly take her to the KaiserLautern International Airport.
Andreas watched as his wife is taken into the limosine and drove off.
"Goodbye,my love."
ONE HOUR LATER
"I will not go!Let me go!" Empress Sharon Kaiser was still shouting by the time they reached the airport.
"I'm sorry ,Your Highness" Gustav proceeded to knock her unconscious and brought her to one of the Singabolan 767's disguised as a normal Reichen refugee. -
Empress Sharon Arrives in Singabolah!
May 5th,2009
Singabolah City,Singabolah(XNN)-----Reichen Empress Sharon Kaiser arrived in Singablah today a few hours ago.
The first thing this Reichen royalty did was to visit one of the many refugee camp.When she arrived at the Tampenis Camp,all the rioting stopped.Every Reichen in the camp was shouting,"Long Live the Kaiser's,Long Live Reichland!" afterwhich they sang, "Reichland Uber alles".
"My people,we will hold ourself with pride as guest of this nation who have tried thier best to help us in the times of our dire needs.I am ashamed to hear that we,Reichens failed to behave as one befitting to be called sons of Frederick the Great!We will work with Singabolah and we will not be useless,we will contribute in any way we can to this country.The 457 men will be handed over,i trust in the integrity of Singabolah that they will be handed back to us again!Though i do not see what they want from a bunch of kids and ladies.
We will behave like Reichens and show to this world that in the midst of crisis,our spirits will never be killed!"
Empress Sharon Kaiser said in a speech that was broadcast to all Reichen refugee camps in Singabolah.It was also reported that a great roar came from the Reichen refugee camps after the speech.
The Empress is now in the parliament of Singabolah to plead her case and to express her gratitude. -
The Heist
Near Changi Int Airport
The rubber tires of the black limo exploded into squalls of rubber as 5.56mm rounds from the Xing Shianan spec ops OICWs ripped into them, a .50 caliber round from the team sniper punctured the engine block and jammed the cylinders of the expensively handcrafted engine. The limo went dead, but still had sufficient velocity to skid on its metal rims, throw up a shower of sparks before hitting the airport expressway side rail and flipping onto its side.
Those events threw the motorcade into chaos, metal ground on metal as the escort vehicles swerved to avoid adding to the disaster. Smoke grenades mixed in with vomit and super tear gas tossed into the mix did little to assist them. More sickening crunches on metal played out, to be followed by the sounds of groans, gagging and vomiting when the all that metal finally stopped.
Emerging from their ambush positions like specters, the Xing Shianan operatives clad in full SIPE gear and gas masks fanned out to rapidly establish a perimeter around their ambush positions, using their thermal sensors to see through the long-lasting, vomit-inducing fog. But there was no resistance, all the people involved were busy spending their time curled up in a fetal position in a puddle of their own vomit, with tearing eyes pinched shut and noses running copious amounts of mucus. But the operatives took no chance, they made sure everyone of them had the bead of an OICW on them.
“Crap look at this, I hope all this doesn’t start anything bad…” One of the operatives remarked as he used his boot to swipe a discarded uzi awat while looking at the black-clad man lying face up before him and hanging half in and out the wreck of his car, with vomit running out of his mouth and onto the rest of his face. The partially digested food matter matted the hair thickly to accumulate in thick drops before dripping off to a sizeable puddle on the road. It was a vile sight.
The squad leader nodded, the Singaboleans were on their side but this time their paths had to cross badly. None of them died in this encounter and most of them didnÂ’t look too badly hurt either, and he was sure that they would have given his men some trouble, had they resisted if it they hadnÂ’t all been non lethally smoked and gassed. They should recover in an hour. He motioned for his team to continue their mission. They went up to the flipped limo and extracted the Reichen Empress, who was a mess of blood, vomit, tears and mucus, though nothing had been permanently damaged. They dumped the unconscious Emperess into the back of a nondescript civilian car they had stolen, gathered the rest of the team in other similar vehicles, and drove for the coast.
They reached it without incident and dumped the vehicles, and quickly moved to establish a perimeter on the beach as their extraction units arrived, a flight of four Little Fox helicopters, which had arrived practically skimming the waves to avoid radar. The squad piled themselves and the Empress onto the tiny choppers and dusted off, heading for a nearby Xing Shianan destroyer that had moved in close in stealth to operate the choppers just for this mission.
Fifteen minutes later it was all over, Empress Sharon had been extracted and now in Xing Shianan hands in a covert ops mission that started by submarine insertion twenty hours ago into Singabolah and ended on board a Xing Shianan destroyer. It was time to gather some intelligence. -
Massive Traffic accident outside Singabolah Changi Airport, locals mystified
Singabolah City, Singabolah(XNN)---- A massive traffic incident involving several vehicles including a V.I.P limousine had left several locals in the area mystified.
Eyewitnesses reported that several minutes prior to the accident, they had been told to stay clear of the area by several suspicious looking characters.
“I thought one of them was plainclothes police.” Said Tan Ah Mee, a passerby who had met one of the characters. “But they show no ID, only tell me to siam.”
Several minutes after the unidentified characters had been spotted, sounds of a massive traffic accident could be heard, followed by what is described as “a lot of thick smoke” rising into the sky could be heard. Some reported hearing gunshots as well, but this could not be confirmed. No immediate eyewitnesses who actually witnessed the accident could be found.
“Maybe they all shooting crows at the time, I dunno, but I think got hear some guns fire leh.” Ah Mee said, when interviewed on the supposed gunshots.
When XNN reached the scene, most of the vehicles had been removed, though blood stains and what appeared to be a lot of vomit could be seen on the road all around. The area had been cordoned off and camera film and video from the media confiscated. Lots of police, along with military personnel had been deployed around the area. An foul stench hung lingered in the air that stung the nose and eyes along with causing nausea could be observed in the area, authorities working nearer to the accident scene were wearing respirators.
Authorities have refused to comment on the incident.
Speculation is a rife that this incident might be connected to the supposed arrival of Reichen Empress Sharon Kaiser, who was due to speak in Singabolah parliament following her arrival.
Most Singaboleans however, remain mystified by the incident and offer no explanation, though a small group of Singaboleans conspiracy theorists have stated that this was the work of the government testing genetically engineered exploding Lohans. -
The Deception
"Empress Sharon,we are lucky to evade capture.I just hope that they treat Evelyn with respect." Evelyn was a Reichen lady who looked like the Empress Sharon herself.
"Ja,Herr Gustav,those Xing Shianan dogs won't let me off."
Andreas had thought of this long ago.He knew Xing Shiana would try something.So he had requested that the Empress that went on the visits and appearred with such high profile was the double of the real Sharon.But the words were of the genuine Sharon nonetheless.
The real Sharon was under the protection of the Reichen and Singabolan special services all along. -
Try Again
XSS Nanotyrannus
The discovery of the double did not really surprise the Xing Shianan intelligence analysts; she was still a useful source of intelligence on the inner workings of the Reichen monarchy. The Viper operatives would have to try again. They were allowed to get twenty four hours of rest, before reporting back for the briefing to their next mission. -
XSS Nanotyrannus
“AVLS tube one fired.” The weapons officer reported. The destroyer vibrated slightly as the small, scramjet powered cruise missile left its Advanced Vertical Launch System tube in a trail of white rocket smoke that accelerated it to velocities sufficient for its scramjet motor to start to sustain the hypersonic flight at eight times the speed of sound to its designated target.
It fell on its target sixty kilometers away thirty seconds later.
“Okay, I think that got his attention.” The XO said, training the bridge electro-videoscope on the little object on the water off the port bow. It appeared to be tracking the plume of the missile.
“Get me the Gertrude”
XSS Nanotyrannus to RSS Chiam Song
“Oops” the captain warbled to the captain of the Singabolah submarine on the underwater telephone. -
Cruise Missile lands in Singabolah
Singabolah City, Singabolah (XNN)----- A Xing Shianan cruise missile, supposedly launched by the XSN destroyer, XSS Nantyrannus in a fire control malfunction, has landed in a rural area on the outskirts of Singabolah city. No injuries were reported.
The cruise missile is the latest in local events to raise the eyebrows of Singabloleans, following soon after a mysterious traffic accident outside the international airport which authorities had ordered a media blackout on.
In an official statement released by the Chief of Navy, Mr. Yu Yong Swhay, the incident had been described as a “…series of unfortunate malfunction in the fire control system of the XSS Nanotyrannus that led to the unintended firing of the missile.” He also stated investigations were on the way.
Yu Yong also stated that the missile was in no immediate danger of causing widespread destruction, for the warhead had not been armed, though anything which the missile falls on would be at risk of significant damage.
This marks the first ever known major field malfunction in the Xing Shianan AGM-9X Airspike cruise missiles, supposedly the fastest and most advanced cruise missile in the world, with stealth technology and advanced guidance systems. During the SENSE/Prussian war, the small 2.1 meter long Airspike was responsible for the annihilation of a lot of the Prussian war machine, achieving hit rates of over 98 percent. -
Back on the groundÂ…
The Reichen secret agent look with shock at the destruction left by the Xing Shianan cruise missile on the gardening shed of the safe house. The sonic boom left by the missile traveling at 2.5 kilometers a second had shattered every window in the residence. There was not much left of the gardening shed or the missile after the impact.
There would have been more destruction for sure if the warhead of the missile had gone offÂ… had it been a dud? Why would the Xing Shianans risk killing the Empress, if they wanted to get her so bad? He had seen the reports and official explinations on the news and discarded them immediately as a coverup. No this was a deliberate attempt from those technologically infatuated dogs to send them a message that they knew where they were hiding the Empress, and would be coming to get them, not to mention there was nothing they could do about it. How on earth did their classified location get compromised so fast?
It was time to haul some butt, and fast. -
Compromisation
"Send a telegram to Herr Jayapapaya.Our position has been compromised.We need support and a place where the XS won't intrude." barked one of Reichen Security personnel
"You Highness ,please pack your bags,we must leave soon." -
Bukit Gombak, Singabolah
"Are you sure this is safe?" the sceptical Reichen security man asked.
"Nothing short of a 40 kiloton nuke can break it open," replied the Singabolan MoD official confidently. "Even with bunker busters or MOABS, this place is completely impregnable to conventional weapons."
"And what if they use nuclear weapons on us?" the Reichen asked.
"Then they would have to wipe out a city of three million on top of us first, and they don't want her that badly," the Singabolan replied.
The bunker was part of the Singabolan Ministry of Defence's sprawling underground network located under the hilly city of Bukit Gombak. It had been built to shelter the Singabolan Armed Forces top brass in case of a nuclear strike. There was no possible way those Xing Shianan dogs could lay a finger on Her Highness now, reflected the Reichen security official. -
Last Comunique
From: J.B. Jayapapaya, Singabolah Foreign Minister
To: Andreas Kaiser, Emperor of Reichland
Subject:
Dear Andreas,
I'm afraid this will be our last diplomatic note, following which we will shut down the Singabolah Embassy to Reichland and evacuate before the declaration of hostilities.
With the Empress safe in Singabolah, you can be sure that no harm, be it from our enemies or even our own allies, will come to her. Although we will have to allow the other SENSE members access to her for questioning, we have ensured that they will have to do it here, on our terms, where we can monitor them and make sure they do not ill treat her in any way.
The arrival of the Empress also comes at a fortuanate time for us as well; as you know, my country has expreinced some slight difficulties with certain rouge elements in the evacuatees here. We hope that the prescence of Empress Sharon will be able to convince them that we mean no ill to the Reichen people, and that they will eventually lay down their arms and peacefully co-exist with all other peoples of the world.
I must still warn you though, that the political backlash from this incident will be enormous. We can only pray that Xing Shiana will forgive us and not misinterpret our intetions.
Although we will soon be enemies, I personally wish you the best of luck. Hopefully, when all this madness is over, we will be able to have a good chat over some tea and biscuits, and look back on our actions knowing that we acted with pride and dignity.
Auf Weidershen,
