The Latao Conflict

Posted: Sep 2 2005, 10:02 AM

General Bitten was welcomed to the Khazaronian HQ by a personel aide of the General. Dressed in the red uniform of the Khazaronian military and bearing a Colonels insignia, the man approached the Nedalian General and slapped his right fist over his hear in the traditional salute of his people. "Apologies General Bitten. General Hamar has stepped out for a moment to speak with the Lamonians on planning the assault to rescue the experts. He hopefully wont be gone long. You can wait here if you like, I can assure you we will make every effort to make your stay a most comfortable one."

While the joint discussions between the Khazaronian and Lamonian generals were underway, a Nedalian Sergeant (OOC: or did you mean General, Nedalia?) came up to the Lamonian gaurds at the base who were wearing standard Lamonian wartime uniforms ( http://www.tridentarms.com/New-Photos14/cuban-4s.jpg ). After a call to General Smythe, the man was escorted to the map room. "Hello sergeant, as i'm sure you know, I am General Smythe, and this is Khazaronian General Hamar. What brings you here?"

General Hamar turned to the Nedalian commander that had just arrived and slapped his fist over his heart. "Greetings." he said, then turning his attention back to General Smythe.

OOC: Yes, sorry about the mistake, I meant General Grondar.

IC:

"Greetings, fellow allies," proclaimed General Grondar. "I have been sent by Commander Horacio as the official messenger and official strategizer from our part. He informed me that any sector of the Nedalian Armed Forces in Latao are ready for any moves you might want to make. I am also here to tell you that the NGM has located the nuclear warheads in western Latao, and they are being guarded by rogue Omsec supporters. As we speak, the NGM should be eliminating what we hope is the final frontier in the battle for those warheads. The question is, what do we do with them?"

General Hamar smiled broadly and turned to face General Grondar. "Most excellent new General. I'm glad to here we wont have to worry about those nut-case followers of Omsec having the ability to scour this place of life." He then stopped to think for a moment. "As for what to do with them, I say we destroy them as safely as possible. It has been the observation of my government that nuclear weapons are to unstable and destructive to be trusted in any human hands. What say you General?" General Hamar said this last part as he turned to face General Smythe.

[I]"My government was going to safely dispose of the weapons if Latao handed them over, and I do not foresee that this will change when the weapons are recovered by your forces, General Grondar. As for what was going on before you arrived, General Hamar and I were talking about how to take out the last pocket of Latin resistance. This is also where we think that the Lamonian nuclear weapons experts are being held. We were thinking of having our special forces troops parachute in, and then have the main body attack. Do you have any ideas, General?"[I] For General Smythe, this was something of a speech.

"All it calls for is a simple decoy mission. We send end armed forces from one side to make it seem like we're going to fullout assault them, then we send the special forces in from the "backdoor", if you will, while their entire attention and firepower is focused on the army. We minimize lives lost, and we find a way to save the Lamonian hostages without having to worry about killing them ourselves."

"That sounds like a plan," Smythe said, "Now all we have to do is to figure out what direction to attack them from. They are going to be expecting us to come straight at them from the capital, so I would bet you that they are laying mines and making obstacles. What I propose is that we loop around them; staying far enough away that they can't see us, and attack them from the rear with the main force. Then we'll have the paratroopers land where they will be least expected. In the meantime, we can have fighter bombers knock out any anti-air defenses that the Latins might have. Agreed?"

General Hamar nodded in agreement with General Smythe. "Sounds like a plan. But may I suggest something? How about a double fake on our attack. If they are expecting an attack from the front, why not send one to make them think that? That way they prepare for it there, get distracted when our other diversion comes in from behind, and finally are completely overwhelmed when our special forces parachute in. We could give the idea that my men and I are overconfident from our victory here, and are going to try and take them head on, making the double-deception more believable."

Nodding in agreement, Smythe said, "Yes, that would work. Have the Khazaronian forces attack from the front, the Nedalians and Lamonians from the rear. Like you said, they'll be overwhelmed. I think that we should find out exactly where the nuclear experts are being held BEFORE we attack. After all, we don't want to give the Latins a chance to kill them off. That won't stop our attack, but it will look bad. What about you, General Grondar?"

"That sounds fine with me. Ofcourse, our main perogative is the safety of the hostages, so I suggest we send it a stealth team, perhaps a combination of our best special forces personnel, to breach through and identify the hostages. If things go bad and they are found out, we'll be in place, as to what we just agreed on, move in on them. After we've pounded and distracted them, we send in the paratroops. But ofcourse, this is assuming our special forces havent gotten the hostages out in time. If they have, then we just bomb the living -explicitive removed- out of the Latins."

"All right, we seem to have a plan. Now we need to execute it. You are both welcome to stay here and coordinate the attack if you wish, or have underlings do that."

General Hamar crossed his arms and furrowed his brow, thinking to himself for a moment and the nodded. "I think it might be best that we coordinate the attacks from a single location, so as to avoid any possible slip-ups. If you don't mind General Smythe, I would like to send for some of my command staff to come here, so that I might begin the preparations for the assault."

"I have no objections. Bring whomever you feel that you need."

It was going to be fun decimating the Latins, Smythe thought.

It toke several hours for General Hamar to get his staff and equipment set up in the Lamonian camp, in order to create a more efficient central command for the upcomming operation. After things where finished, the General began to order the necessary troop movements to begin, to place them in position just south of the position of the last pocket of Latin resistance. The local special-ops team was in near-constant contact with him and kept him up-to-date on the Latin defenders and their positions. While all of this was going on, at a Khazaronian airfield that had been set up several miles outside of the capital, the rest of the special-ops teams where being prepped and ready to parachute in once the operation was underway. General Hamar had given explicit instructions not to begin any more movements than what had already been ordered, until the "command" was given.
