"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Constantinople Times
Byzantium convoy arrives in Diocese bearing much needed aid.
The convoy of ships from Byzantium arrived today in the Diocese bearing much needed aid. The WCT vessel brought much needed construction equipment and aid workers set to work immediately upon landing. Earlier, an An-225 arrived with doctors and medical supplies and rescue workers. It is believed that more transports on on their way bearing more aid. The Byzantium Government also deliver millions of dollars in donations from the Patriarchy of Constantinople. The Byzantine army also delivered some BMP and BTR-90s from their stocks of vehicles to the Diocese military to aid in efforts to restore order to the nation.
The devastation has been reported to be severe indeed with much of the coastal city wiped out. His Holiness, the Patriarch Ramsley thanked Byzantium for the much needed aid. Byzantium is reported to have agreed to supply Ramsley with Dromon corvettes to help patrol the shorelines as well.

Goal of the Great Mobilization:
The goals of the Great Mobilization are as follows:
To drastically increase the size of the Coilerburg military. A draft has begun, and military training facilities are being constructed. The goal is to raise a massive* military of over 50,000 personnel. The primary focus of the Great Mobilization is the navy. The army will not be ignored, but the construction of a powerful fleet is what PFL Iler wants the most.
To make Coilerburg itself extremely defensible from outside attack. As the nation currently lacks the means to create a sophisticated defense network, construction of defense is limited to building anti-invasion fortifications such as along its northern and eastern shores. The first series of barbed wire fences are already starting to appear.
Arms sale negotiations with Shepnukistan are still ongoing. Coilerburg is still unsure of the exact type and quantity of equipment it wishes to buy, but has finalized its intial purchase request from Shepnukistan:
Update: The finalized request was not so final after all, when PFL Iler was told by his financial ministers of Coilerburg's lack of economic strength to support the full order. The Burkes have been dropped from the list, and only the minesweepers, tanks, and rifles remain.
2 minesweepers
15 M1 tanks
7,000 assault rifles

In the southern seas, enroute to T.M.C.K of St George
The captain of the SRS Fortuna and courtesy commodore of TF-23 went over the operation again, and was surprised at how smoothly it had turned out. After the Shepnukistani convoy had offloaded and left the area, his convoy had come in and onloaded a portion of the MBTs and IFVs that had been given, leaving enough for General Alexander to form his armored regiment of some 60 tanks and a number of IFVs. Inspectors from the Shinra Republic embassy and Alexandrian military had done an inventory and count of what was offloaded, what was reloaded, and what was left behind.
They were now on the way to The Most Curious Kingdom of Saint George and a safe storage site for the equipment now in the holds of his FCS-Ls. Inspectors from the MESS, FUN, and Alexandria itself would meet him to do a second inventory and oversee the safe storage of the equipment, until such a time as Alexandria was ready for the rest.
He had no idea of what the reaction would be by the UAR when they found out, as he was sure they eventually would despite their attempts at secrecy. But for now, at least, all he had to worry about was making it safely to St. George. He issued an order, reminding the sonar crews to stay alert.
He didn't expect trouble, but it never hurt to be prepared.
((OOC: Sorry Shep, but since Raj indicated his delivery already I figured I might as well get on with it.))

Elsewhere in the world: People's Republic of Canissia
Operation Northern Star was well underway, and now the latest group of MESS peacekeepers had arrived. The 1st Midland Guards and 5th West-Clarks Grenadiers, two light infantry regiments from Wilkonia, were even now processing out for eventual shipment to the Neverhood port city of West Jaffa, the northenmost element of the multinational deployment. Day before, the 20th Infantry Regiment (Air Assault) from Tian Xia had deployed to reinforce the 15th Infantry (Air Assault) in Eshkelon Bay. Both units were watching over the Lone Star Republic's Naval Mobile Construction Battalion One (NMCB-1) in the Eshkelon suburb of New Haifa. There was also a shuffling of the Shinra Republic's 9th Air Assault Division, with the 903rd Air Assault Regiment heading down to Port Hadera to reinforce the Canissian 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit.
There were discussions amongst senior MESS commanders of reinforcing the 1st MEU to the status of a Marine Expeditionary Brigade, although so far no official action had been taken.
Finally, the Wilkonian Brigade of Marines was setting up in various Canissian bases along the north coast. They were being held as a reserve, in case anything happened, though everybody involved hoped they wouldn't be needed as anything more than a temporary relief force, a stop-gap as units transitioned out to go back home. The Tian Xia 8th Sustainment Regiment also remained back in Canissia, coordinating the various logistical efforts from that end.
All in all, this gave roughly two regiments of light infantry based in each of the four major port cities of the west Neverhood. Their primary mission was to establish a firm presence of law and order, transforming those cities into havens of stability. From there they would then expand out, bringing the countryside under control from the various militias and revolutionary groups roaming free. So far there hadn't been too much difficulty: the residents of the western portion of the Neverhood had largely supported the government's actions to become a MESS Protectorate, and they welcomed the presence of the MESS peacekeepers.
There were many who wondered whether the MESS would use this presence to eventually try to force a reunification of the Neverhood, or whether they would settle for the rough borders already established. Still, while official policy had not been announced, many believed it was doubtful such a move would be made, at least in the near future. After all, the MESS had deployed primarily light infantry in the peacekeeping role, while the Shepnukistani government had deployed a full Armored Corps in the east, and had announced plans for a buildup of similar forces.
The world press was, as they usually did, naturally comparing and contrasting the differing moves made by the two factions. While the MESS had deployed light infantry, Shepnukistan had deployed tanks and armored fighting vehicles. While the MESS had started dialouges with local government and were largely working within the existing structure in place, Shepnukistan was creating their own police and military forces, and establishing "strategic hamlets" of their own accord.
Which tactics were viewed more favorably were, of course, up to the various perspectives of those reporting and commenting...

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Can do!" Spirit of the Seabees reflected in West Neverhood mission
"Oh Damnit, look at this." The Chief Petty Officer said, waving at the wrecked pier. "This is going to take a lot of work."
Wrecked port facilities, roads, schools, and unreliable power and running water are just some of the many problems Naval Mobile Construction Battalion One(NMCB-1) of the LSRN Seabees are facing in New Hafia.
"We had to disembarked at the airfield in Eshkelon Bay and ride in trucks down here. Our we didn't have enough heavy equipment moving trucks, so we've had to make 3 trips back, across mud roads that are really too narrow for this short of thing." The CO of NMCB-1, Captain Brian Lowen said.
When asked what the top priority projects would be, Captain Lowen laughed.
"Hmm...Roads, port facilities, airfields, schools, utilities or Hospitals? Howabout all of the above? And we have to take the security situation into consideration."
Master Chief Master-at-Arms Ronald West describes the security situation as:
"Less, far less, than adequate. Under the Shepnukistani Regime the police were little more than corrupt traffic cops. We really have our work cut out for us. That's why the LSR is sending a law enforcement taskforce to New Hafia, and has drawn up a plan to create a West Neverhood Gendarmerie. We have a lot of training ahead of us."
In fact, the Fort Worth Star Telegram has learned that 70 Humvees, 30 surplus DPS Durangos, and 12 M1117s for the West Neverhood Gendarmerie are already being shipped.
"Because of our relative lack of firepower, it is essential we put trained Neverhood Officers of the Peace on the ground as soon as possible, and make sure they have the tools they need." Said West.
In addition a medical mission, under the command of the LSRN, is deploying to New Haifa to provide help in the Public Health system there. Military Mobile Medical Battalion One has approximately 300 corpsman and medics, as well as 50 doctors under the command of a Navy Captain.

Shinra Republic Navy: F-14 upgrade completed ahead of schedule
The Shinra Republic Navy announced today that they were taking delivery of a squadron of F-14D+s direct from Tonkin Aerospace Group (TAG designation F-114H), bringing the fleet to full capacity ahead of schedule. The remaining F-14D squadron, currently being upgraded, will continue as planned. No word has yet been announced on what the Navy will do with the excess airframes, though many speculate they would be donated to the joint-MESS aircraft carrier project.
The new F-14s were originally intended to be delivered to the Sovereignty of Shroomania prior to the souring of relations between that government and the Incorporated Republic of Tonkin.

DUCHY OF LANGLEY APPROACHES COILERBURG FOR WEAPONS DEAL
Thousands of surplus rifles and SMGs up for sale
FILE PHOTO: The Colt M4 Carbine, standard issue for the Langley Armed Forces until replaced by the HK416 and SCAR
PENDRAGON ARSENAL - With its recent emergence from isolationism, the small nation of Coilerburg has announced a "Great Mobilization" intended to increase the size of its military. While the Coilerburg government has only approached Shepnukistan so far for weapons sales, the Duchy of Langley has seen it as an opportunity to offload some of its surplus weapons.
Prior to standardizing on the 6.8 mm Remington SPC cartridge and readopting the .45 ACP cartridge, the Langley Armed Forces used submachine guns in 9 mm Luger Parabellum and rifles in 5.56 x 45 mm NATO. Prior to adopting the Heckler & Koch UMP45, the Langley Armed Forces used the Heckler & Koch MP5 as its standard SMG; various M16-pattern weapons, namely the M4 Carbine, were also used throughout the Armed Forces until replaced by the Heckler & Koch HK416 and the Fabrique Nationale SCAR-L. The M14 and Heckler & Koch G3, both 1950s-vintage battle rifles, faithfully soldiered on until finally superceded by the Heckler & Koch HK417 and Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H; their respective sniper rifle conversions, the M21 SWS and the G3SG/1, were likewise both replaced by the Heckler & Koch MSG-90. Following the arms reorganization in 2004-2005, the Armed Forces placed its remaining MP5s, M16s, M4s, M14s, G3s, M21s, and G3SG/1s into storage.
Representatives of the Department of Defense have already approached the Coilerburg government in an effort to convince them to purchase some of the Duchy's surplus arms. Specific terms have yet to be worked out.

Indhopal Announces Major Mining Deal!
"Representatives from the Shinra Republic and Bearne are on hand today with Prime Minister Erin Collins to announce a major deal to develop Indhopal's resources. The Prime Minister is taking the podium now and--"

The attack on the conference was not all. The Free Hand movement had attacked Indhopal with 32 men who were ready to die and well equipped with body armor, military small arms, and explosives. A freighter, which had previously served as a pirate mother ship, came within 50 miles of Indhopal at 01:00. It had then launched four speedboats which took the terrorists to the mainland. The terrorists then went ashore and collected 4 vans that had been placed by a forward operative at around 04:30.
The Mother ship did not escape detection. At 03:30 hours patrol aircraft spotted and a patrol boat had attempted to board the vessel. She opened up with auto cannon and RPG fire. A battle raged on the sea, which the Indhopal patrol boat won with the help of strafing runs from the aircraft. They took 2 dead and 3 wounded. Some 12 pirates were estimated to have been killed. At the time, it was reported as an isolated pirate incident. Naval and air patrols were stepped up, but didn't find the speedboats. Indhopal's CQB squad was also put on alert in case of further trouble.
At 9:00 3 terrorists’ teams consisting of 8 men each assaulted the Mineral conference, the front entrance of ProTec's headquarters, and City Hall. At the conference they killed 5 police officers and 8 civilians in their initial attack, but were soon cornered in a local shop were they killed after a two hour gun battle with security forces in which another officer died. The terrorists in the end blew themselves up with charges they intended to use to bring down the conference center.
At ProTec's headquarters, the terrorists killed a gate guard and attempted to storm the front of the building. 4 more ProTec employees were killed before the well armed ProTec guards could neutralize the terrorists. It was all over there in less than 15 minutes.
At City Hall, the terrorists managed to get inside after killing two police officers. They then rounded up everyone they could find, set bombs and detonated them. Some 57 hostages, including members of the city council, were killed. The terrorists then attempted to flee and take more hostages. However Indhopal's CQB team responded to this site first, and neutralized the eight terrorists after a ten minute gun battle in which one CQB trooper was killed.
The last terrorist team originally meant to attack parliament, but they were running behind schedule. So at 9:30 they attacked their secondary target, the new University. They started by sending 2 men to attack the Campus Police Department. 3 officers were killed before backup swarmed and killed the terrorists. Meanwhile the other six took some 300 hostages attending Social Science lectures. They then set bombs, and attempted to detonate them. That did not work. By this time they were surrounded by police and a very tense standoff ensued. The Terrorists executed a hostage every 15 minutes, demanding transport off the Island. The CQB team quickly stormed the building after 5 hostages had been executed. It was an ugly operation. All the terrorists were killed. 4 members of the CQB team were also killed; one by jumping on a grenade a terrorist had thrown at hostages. 3 hostages were also killed.

ARMS DEAL WITH COILERBURG FINALIZED
Over 7,000 rifles, SMGs, and grenade launchers sold to equip the Coilerburg military
A Langley Marine Corps military adviser shows off an M203-equipped M4 Carbine to an audience of Coilerburg soldiers
COILERBURG - With only a few days left to spare before the end of the year, the Duchy of Langley finally managed to strike a deal with Coilerburg regarding the transfer of surplus arms.
As part of its "Great Mobilization," the Coilerburg government is seeking to acquire large numbers of relatively modern weapons to equip its military. Upon hearing of Coilerburg's request for small arms, the Duchy of Langley was quick to answer, and DoD officials dispatched to Coilerburg were able to offer some of the surplus weapons being stored at Pendragon Arsenal.
As part of the deal, 800 Heckler & Koch MP5s and 6,000 M16-pattern rifles (2,000 Colt M4 Carbines and 4,000 M16A4s) have been handed over to the Coilerburg military. As a bonus, the Langley Armed Forces added a consignment of 1,500 M203 grenade launchers to the order; the grenade launchers had been in storage ever since they were replaced by the Heckler & Koch M320 in 2004. The weapons arrived yesterday in Coilerburg aboard a pair of A-90 Orlyonok ekranoplan transports, along with a small force of Marine Corps military advisers who will instruct Coilerburg soldiers on how to use their new weapons.
The Coilerburg military is to pay a flat fee of only US$5.5 million for the entire weapons consignment, which includes ammunition and other associated paraphernelia (cleaning kits, scopes, spare parts, et cetera).

PQM-184 First Flight!
After about a year's development work, the full scale PQM-184 Land Attack Missile (LAM) prototype flew a circular roundabout route from it's launch site in the Neverhood Testing Range, Shepnukistan over the Great Western Ocean, before making a brief approach towards Saddamistan; close enough for signature data to be recorded by Saddamistani engineers; before turning away for it's long run into the Great Western Sea.
Preliminary indications show that the PQM-184 flew for another 15,000 miles before it's atomic ramjet was corroded enough from dirty air to cause loss of power and loss of craft.
Top speed was reputedly Mach 4.2 at 30,000 feet.
Development is set to begin on the operational MGM-191C Land Attack Missile immediately, which is expected to fly a low level attack profile with a top speed of around Mach 3 at five hundred feet.

Imperial Chronicles
[retroacted]
The Patriarch Ramsley met the Byzantine Ambassador who was heading the mission of mercy to the Diocese. "We thank the Byzantine Emperor for his gracious aid. But another matter, we need more weapons for our defence. Our vehicles are immobilised and you only provided 10 vehicles for our uses."
The Ambassador and looked into his folder and gave him a document. The document stated, "The Imperator Emperor Heraclius, the Protector of Christendom and the Church of Constantinople, pledges to render what ever aid is needed to protect the Patriarchy of Terra Libertia from its enemies. May the Lord strike him down should he fail in his solemn duties." The document had the seal of the Emperor.
Ramsley looked up and told the Ambassador, "I will then hold the Emperor to his word then."

Constantinople Times
More aid to be sent to the Diocese
The Byzantine Government announced today that it was sending more aid via another WCT that was rented from Constantinople Shipping. More aid flights will be sent as well.
Constantinople Shipping will purchase 10 4000 TEU vessels and 10 more WCT from Constantinople Shipyards.
The 4000 TEU vessel
Constantinople Shipping sent note that it intended to purchase 10 more WCT and 10 4000 TEU vessels that were designed by Constantinople Shipyards from Constantinople Shipyards to increase its capacity. Constantinople Shipyards has been expanding quite rapidly with funds provided by the Trade Ministry and has since more than tripled its capacity from 2 years ago.
