Weapons Testing

[Kant]

To: Nations of Europa

From: Niederoestereich

 

50kms due north off the Niederoestereichian coast, an abandoned oilrig platform has been transformed into a military research laboratory. Weapons testing will be commencing on an artificial island and reef within the next week, with the rig platform as the center of operations. Weapons will be ranging from IRBMs with various warheads, to naval shelling, torpedo drills and air-force drills.

 

We advise other nations to avoid these areas, and issue warning to commercial and merchant vessels leaving their waters to plot another route which was not bring them near these areas. We are also enforcing a no-fly zone 20km radius near the new research platform.

The Chosen Nations will advise all commercial planes and sea-craft to avoid the area, but will not abide by the 20km no-fly zone. The Chosen Nations is interested in the weapons development of all nations and will not miss this opportunity to find out about another nations armed-forces. The Chosen Nations advises you not to fire on any aircraft that bears the symbol of The Chosen Armed Forces, as all militry survaliance planes have ground adn fighter support, and have been ordered to return fire.

 

The Gouvernment of The Chosen Nations will not stand for the loss of any life, on our side. If you open fire, The Chosen Nations will attacks with ferosity never seen before. We will not spare a single citizen.

T'Nith lent back in his chair as he read a copy of message sent by The Chosen Nations to Niederoestereich and whistled.

 

"This should be interesting."

While we will publicly support you over The Chosen Nations, Meteorola urges restraint at the recent public statements released by TCN. Also remember that these are International Waters, and not a Niederoestereich pond.

We are to understand that you will be conducting military operations off of your northern shores. We also understand that this is near one of the main shipping routes used by the Medicinal Marijuana Research and Trade Alliance. While we understand Niederoestereich's past objections to the alliance's operations, we would appreciate that your forces take great care to ensure that vessels marked 'MMRTA' do not come to harm, lest the Alliance should suffer a tragic loss of civilian life.

[Meteorola]

Meteorola would once again state its objections to the MMRTA's involvement in international disputes that do not concern it, as well as its continued occupation of an island off our northern shores.

 

This is mainly for those that do not remember Meteorola not recoginizing the MMRTA as a political force, as well as its territorial claims. This is not a new threat- unless it comes to that of course

[Mongol-Swedes]

We of the Tribal Tribunal speak on behalf of this international government-sponsored, civilian managed and operated enterprise. We are not suggesting that the MMRTA is getting involved in this dispute, far from it. We are merely informing the nation of Niederoesterich that routine shipping of a demilitarized, international trade and scientific agreement occurs nearby their planned exercises. We are NOT attempting to get involved, we are concerned for the crews of the freighters.

From: Niederoestereich

 

We strongly advise your aircraft do not enter the 20km radius. You have openly decreed your intent to spy on Niederoestereichian military installations. You must realise we cannot be held accountable for the loss of life due to your ignorance. Any deaths resulting from Chosen Nationian spy activity, will lay on your head, not ours.

We understand that it is international waters, although we have safety of international lives on our mind. We have selected this area for military weapons testing, on the grounds that it is isolated from general population. Although we do wish for these testing operations to remain as secretive as possible

You do not have to fear for the crews on the freighters, unless they enter restricted waters. In that circumstance, the crew will be arrested and transported back to Niederoestereich, while their vessel is ether sunk or escorted to a major port.

 

[The Chosen Nations]

Although small TCN will not be swept out of the way. You will heed our words, and not kill any of our servicemen or women. The whole country is behind this stance and every citizen is willing to give their life. I doubt that you have such support from your citizens. It has no importance anyway, they will all die, no-matter what they believe, and their blood will be on your hands.

The statement by The Chosen Nations worries us:

The Chosen Nations will advise all commercial planes and sea-craft to avoid the area, but will not abide by the 20km no-fly zone. The Chosen Nations is interested in the weapons development of all nations and will not miss this opportunity to find out about another nations armed-forces.

Our stance towards your cause remains neutral. We would like to state that if you catch any of those 'chosen spies', it's probably best not to use them as guinea pigs for any new bullet-proof vests. It's best to steer away from any international incident.

Your war-mongering words have no effect on our interests. If you are to be crushed like an ant due to threating nature, so be it. You make the threat of killing off our whole nation; men, women and children.

Mark my words, and mark them well, come within range of our interests, military and civilian, I cannot be held for whatever actions may take place

 

Enjoy your evening, if you persist to push us, it may be, you last.

SUBJECT: A friendly reminder

 

This a just a friendly reminder to make you think twice before you might get yourself in big trouble. If you compare some basic statistical information concerning both your nations, you will probably agree with me that a confrontation between Niederoestereich and The Chosen Nations would surely be very unfavorable for the latter. And I haven't even mentioned the possible actions of any allies.

The pre-mentioned restricted areas have now been enforced due to testing commencing tommorow. Any aircraft or ship entering this area will be dealt with accordingly.

Subject: Weapons Testing Alert

 

We appreciate giving a fair, advanced warning of your weapons testing exercises that you have planned. Thanks to this, we, as the primary shipping nation of the MMRTA, have been able to alert all vessel captains to keep a respectable berth of the aforementioned restricted zone. Barring any sudden changes in weather patterns, our shipping will run smoothly. Again, we appreciate the advanced notice, and wish you luck in your exercises.

 

As a strictly neutral party, we cannot pledge to intervene on your behalf, should elements of The Chosen Nations become hostile in this affair. As always, however, we will be happy to host any mediation efforts, should the situation come to require it.

[The Chosen Nations]

TCN would like to appoligise for its previous aggressive stance.

 

TCAF will gather information from it's own shores.

 

I hope I can be forgiven

Subject: Testing Completed

 

Weapons testing has ceased in the restricted areas as forementioned. All that can be released is that various testing was sucessfull including a new MIRV system, and sea trials of a new carrier. These tests are just the prelude for more planned military exercises in an attempt to modernise tactics whilst testing prototype military hardware.

 

The testing area will be dismantled, and commerical vessels and aircraft are free to use the area again.
