Wiessburg, Holstein;
Continent of Valoria


It was a silent and cold night, but history in Valoria was being written in the early minutes of February 17th, just a day after the Helvanic Reichsbund doubled its forces in it's major Axis ally's territory. But this time, history would be made in the small Directorial Democracy just southwest of the Greater Helvan Reich, the Confederation of Holstein. Holstein was largely made up of Helvanics, with the Alebcians, Ceroulians, and Vettarians making up the political and ethnic minorities. It was ruled by a small council, 5-7 members from each of the four ethnicities who lived in harmony since the early 1800s.

But now, storm clouds of conflict had gathered over Valoria, 80 years since the Great War. Political tensions between the Ceroulian Empire and the Helvanic Reichsbund were at all time high that had not been seen since the Ceroulian pro-Royalist coup against their Fascist regime. The Reichsbund had more sympathizers in Holstein than the Ceroulians, as Vettaria made up the second majority. The Holstein branches of the Schutzbund (the SB) and the National Salvation Army (NSA), which had laid low since the end of the Cold War, were now starting to reemerge with much of their backing was from the Holsteiner Government and their armed forces, as well as the Reichsbund and the Vettarian Federation.

On this night, the SB and the NSA were preparing for the Night of Long Knives, and had to wait for the code word to be given. "Case Red" was the code word. But still the two groups waited for the operational word to be given. Finally at 0045 Hours, Teutlin and Antea gave the operational order to be carried out. SB trucks departed their compounds, as the NSA did the same and the armed and security forces locked down the country. The armed and security forces also carried out arrests of their fellow soldiers and officers that had some loyalty to the Ceroulian Empire.

0100 Hours;
17 February 2015;
Weissburg, Holstein;
Continent of Valoria


As these events were in motion, the Confederation's Council was in session at the Council's Palace. The Council, the non-Ceroulian members and the security detail, knew what was coming and were stalling for time till the coup was fully accomplished. As the Councilors were arguing of whether or not to join the Axis or the Ceroulian Empire as SB trucks were pulling up outside the gate. Holsteiner citizens were all confined to their homes as the paramilitants unloaded their trucks and with the help of the Security Detail, gained access to the mansion.

The SB guided by several detailmen, were just outside the Council's Chambers. Listening to the argument, SB-Gruppenfuhrer Fritz Martins waited for either the President, the Chancellor, or the Chairman's word for the SB to enter.

"We will NOT join the Ceroulian Empire! And that is FINAL!" stated Chairman Johan Felsner.

That was the cue that Martins was waiting for and his men entered the chambers. Most of the Helvanic and Vettarian members of the council remained their seats, silently, as did the Alebcians. While the Ceroulian members stood and shouting at the SB group that had entered.

One noticed an armband of the Destiny Party on the SB men and sat down, as did the other Ceroulians. Martins now knowing he had their attention stated, "Councilors, as due to the Constitution of the Confederation's article 2, the Holsteiner Council is now void until further notice. From this hour hence forth, the Holstiner Confederation will be known the Republic of Holstein. The Ceorulians members of the council are also hereby under arrest for conspiring with an invading power and will not be released until further notice."

As the Ceroulian members were having handcuffs placed around their wrists and were being led away, Martins turned to rest, saying, "Thank you, Gentlemen and Ladies, for your cooperation."

With that, Holstein was now pro-Helvan.

Continent of Valoria


As the newly reformed Landsrat entered the Council Chambers in the Republic's Mansion, they were greeted by two Schutzbund soldiers who took the councilors' ID cards. They waited for thirty minutes until they were granted access to the Chambers, most of them were sleepy, having been up for the Night of Long Knives. Standing there in the room was SB-Gruppenfuhrer Martins, who quickly saluted the Councilors as did another two men in the room. The other two were completely opposing looks. The one to the right of Martins was a member of the infamous Schutzstaffel, he was tall, blond haired and green eyed. The other was obviously a National Socialist Front member from Greater Helvany, and he was short and fat with blond hair and blue eyes.

The SS man introduced himself first, "My name is Heinrich Steiner and I'm your SS representative and my rank is Brigadefuhrer."

The Party man then introduced himself, "I'm Frontsecretarie Gregor Schmidt of the NSF."

The Councilors were slightly confused as to why these two were here. Voicing this, was the Chairman of the Council asked inquisitively, "Sirs, we are rather confused as to why you are here. As you can see we are very much protected by the armed branches, the security forces, and the Schutzbund. Would you care to explain your presence?"

"Jawohl, Chairman. We can," said Herr Schmidt flatly. "We are here to ensure the security and stability of the Holsteiner Republic. To round up potential traitors and ship them to Greater Helvany or Greater Ostria and see to it that you ask the Helvanic Reichsbund in sending in peacemakers. These peacemakers will ensure that the Republic of Holstein is does not fall into civil conflict."

Herr Steiner, cutting in, said, "We do not intend our new found ally to be the platform of Ceroulian aggression towards Greater Helvany, Greater Ostria or the rest of the Reichsbund-in-Valoria."

"I thought that the Putsch was over?," asked and stated the confused Council's Chairman.

Before the two Helvans could answer, Martins stated to the Council, "Nein meinen Herren, it has only just began. The Night of Long Knives is long and arduous, but the Republic shall endure."

1244 Hours;
17 February 2015;
Western Holstein;
Continent of Valoria


As the SB troops moved through Western Holstein they arrested French-speaking and Ceroulian speaking individuals that had ties with the Ceroulian Empire. They quickly had the armed forces to do the same to eliminate potential traitors to the Republic, as did the security forces.

The SB troops moved the "traitors" to train stations, but before they arrived diverted them to the Old Forest. Armed with silenced weapons, they quickly mowed down hundreds of prisoners into their massed, prearranged graves.

1300 Hours;
17 February 2015;
Wittburg, Holstein;
Near the Greater Helvan border;
Continent of Valoria


Ten Waffen-SS divisions were awaiting to cross into Holsteiner territory, they were getting tired of waiting. But at 1300 Hours the 1st SS-Panzer Division and their sister divisions, newly returned from the Zubrowkan campaign, received the order: The Night is long and dark, it has begun! As the soldiers gathered on top of tanks and other vehicles, as they clambered into their vehicles as well, the engines roared to life. The acrid smell of fuel exhausts was overwhelming and the ground shook beneath the Waffen-SS' vehicles.

The soldiers weren't equipped for peacekeeping actions, but for war. They crossed the border into Holstein as planes and helicopters from the Luftwaffe and the Waffen-SS Fleiger Hauptamt flew overhead. War clouds were now forming over Holstein and the rest of Valoria.

The moon illuminated the canopies of the Bouconne Forest -- the sylvan scene was betrayed by air transports, moving towards a clearing in the forest that was the large border town of Saons. It was in the Bouconne Forest that Ezra I died whilst escaping fascist forces during the Ceroulian Civil War. They hoped to beat a speedy escape to Saons, but they were cornered before that was possible. After a vicious skirmish, the Emperor was slain.

Now the infantry and their transports approached their drop zone, an airfield outside the town. Various officials stood by the hangar, waiting for their commander to drop onto the grassy fields next to the hard runway. Eudes Ballinger was one of the first to touch down on the drop zone. Quick to get out of the chaos of the runway, he bolted out the runway, eventually slowing down to a walk, walking towards the city burghers and police officers congregated in the hangar.

The noise of the jet engines continued to rain down on the drop zone, as the last plane of the airborne tercio settled down. The burghers notified Eudes of a connection -- a woman working with the pro-Ceroulian government ministers in Avergogne, the french speaking region of Holstein. She acted as a human messenger and was a mid-level grunt in the pro-Ceroulian movements of Holstein. She had asked to meet with the incoming Ceroulian forces -- Eudes was selected to meet her in the basement of a cafe within the town’s center.

Eudes stepped down into the bowels of the building, with five soldiers trailing behind him. The woman sat, sipping a coffee while waiting. Eyeing the men coming down the stairs, she yelled and unsheathed her gun, “Are you Coronel Eudes Ballinger?!” Eudes slowed his paces, and told the woman, “Yes, I am Eudes.” As Eudes into the light emanating from the lightbulb, the woman saw the Ceroulian uniform and lowered her gun. “Amelie Colbert, sir.” Eudes nodded and said to her “Madame, we must be on our way, we have a escort ready for you to take you to the city of Lutéce an-”

“Absolutely not!”, remarked Amelie. “I want to go to Borjes and speak to Marie, the Duchess of Avergogne. The higher ups - the men who I sent messages for had a plan. I want to to speak to your Emperor and the Duchess -- the electors and the whole senate!” Eudes did not want to go through the protocols changing plans, that would take time that they didn’t have. “Madame, we should go to Lutéce first, and then seek permission to go to Borjes. If we stay, we waste time.”

Amelie considered Eudes’s plan instead. Eudes’s quick caravan made their way back to the airfield with Amelie, where a bomber found itself on the runway, with jets flying overhead providing aircover. She boarded with 20 soldiers as well. It was around nine PM when the plane left Saons, and it arrived in Lutéce later at midnight.



Meanwhile in Borjes, Julian learned of the change in plan. “Bring me Marie de Lannoy”, said Julian as he sat the parlor of his apartments within the palace of Cadaques. “Maria de Lanoia”, as she was known in the Macean court, was a lady-in-waiting for the Empress, in all frank sense, she was the pretender of a large swath of territory stretching from Hallevel in the North to Avergogne in the south, she had often come into clashes with Julian over the fate of the Duchy of Hallevel, especially after declaring that the duchy would go to his younger son Juan. Julian was not surprised that Marie was one of the conspirators in the larger tomfoolery that was occurring in Holstein.

The guards brought in Marie as she prepared herself for bed - it was eleven at night. “Lanoia”, began Julian, “I didn’t know that you were a high level conspirator in this Avergois secession movement in Holstein.” Marie looked a tad annoyed and flustered. “Yes, Your Majesty?” Julian stood up from his large chair, dressed in his nightly sleepwear, “What did you expect of it? Become independent of me and just expect none of us in Valoria to interfere? The Helvans would have run you over, the Hardenburghians interfered, and I would have coaxed you to become an Electress. At this point, the Helvans have left you cornered.” Marie was confused “How did you figure out, Your Majesty?” Julian responded, “My tercio told me. Your informant, Amelie told me. An independence movement in Holstein is fatal when your are alone in the world, Marie." Marie had Julian figured out. "I know I’m cornered. Despite our...hatred for each other, Your Majesty, I think a life of an Electress would be very nice. However, I would like to some terms that we can agree to.” Marie was not interested in being a Hallevel lackey, despite her position in the line of succession. Marie could go unmarried, and have one her cousins inherit, but she was not very close to any them. The House of Lannoy had scattered to the far corners of the earth, some lived in Hardenburgh, in Helvany, in New Hallevel, in Saint Denis, and other places. None produced anyone of note that people that Marie prefered for the throne of the Duchy. “I would like for Avergogne to its own army seperate of the Imperial centered on Auvernia, Ophuissa, and Greater Macea. In addition, I would like for Your Majesty to revoke your hold on the Duchy of Hallevel and for it to return to the Duchy of Avergogne as it was in 1342. Your Majesty will be able to keep the the counties in the northern reaches of Hallevel.” Julian expected these terms anyway. “And what about a marriage, Marie?” Marie hesitated to answer. Here Julian would trap her into marrying the Imperial family. “Why not this, Marie. We will cede the Duchy of Hallevel to my cousin, Guillén and and you will marry him.” Marie was taken aback. “I won’t let you have the duchy while I or you are alive, Marie. Your son can have it. I give you my word.” Julian and Marie continued to haggle over the Duchy of Hallevel until they reached a consensus.

“Now what do we do, Your Majesty?” Julian walked to his seat and sat in his large chair again, and motioned at the chair opposite his. Marie soon took a seat and Julian responded. “The Electors approved a mobilization of 150,000 men into Avergogne yesterday. The first twenty thousand paratroopers landed on the borderlands last night. A friendly city, Saons, was taken. We await the capture of another friendly city, Auxerre. From there the rest will arrive by tomorrow and we propose that the nation of Holstein be divided amongst the Alesians and the Helvan speaking populations. If Helvany budges, you become the Duchess of Avergogne. If not, we fight a war. A global war.”

With the Ceroulians heading for Auxerre, the Holsteiner government had convened. Several representatives from the Helvanic Reichsbund were also there. Chairman Johan Feisner stood up and addressed the council.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received information that Ceroulia has invaded our western frontier. How do we stand?"

"Before any of the councilors cast their decision It'd be important to note that the Reichsbund can assist in pushing back the Ceroulians and maintaining the sovereignty of Holstein," flatly stated Parteifuehrer Steiner. Anders Rygaard, a Waffen-SS commander, a new arrival from the Fatherland, spoke, "My comrades and I wish the Ceroulians death on the battlefield."

With those statements the decision was cast.




Official Communique from the Helvanic Reichsbund

Dear sir,

We, in the Reichsbund, have noticed that your Empire have invaded our protectorate. We ask that you withdraw. And if not, we'll launch a war that you will soon regret. You have 48 hours to respond and withdraw.

Ceroulian message to the various Axis Governments
 

Posted Image
JULIANUS SEXTUS, IMPERATOR TOTIUS CEROULIA

To the Helvan and hostile Holsteiner Government

Greetings from our Court in the Free Imperial City of Saint-Denis,


It ought to be known that the Imperial Ceroulian Army and its associated armed forces have entered Holstein under the pretense to protect the Gallic people of the region of Avergogne . With this in mind, We propose the division of the nation of Holstein in two parts. We demand that the cantons that held by the pro-Ceroulian council members be returned to them, and that those cantons should be allowed to secede from the Republic of Holstein. If Our terms are met, We shall gladly withdraw Our amassing armies from the Axis border; if not, it does not trouble us to fight the for freedom of the Avergondian people in Holstein.


Given in our city of Borjes, the nineteenth day of the month of February,
the year of the birth of our lord Jesus Christ two thousand and fifteen years

Julián VI de Allavela, Emperor of Ceroulia, King of Extremadura

As the Grand Confederacy was fighting the Ceroulian Empire on the Caranthian continents, the Helvanics and the Vettarians were preparing for their war with Ceroulia. Within a few short hours, the Helvanics and the Vettarians both sent communiques to Ceroulia, issuing a joint statement. A statement of unity and purpose, to drive out the Ceroulian Imperialists from the continent and bring the oldest empire in the history of mankind to her knees.

The only person and persons in the Axis Pact against the war, were the Pope of the Antean Catholic Church and a large number of lower priests. The Pope even decried the Helvanic and Vettarian refusal to accept the Ceroulians terms as "prideful, selfish, and will bring death and suffering." The Pope took it one step farther by decreeing that no one actively practicing Catholicism and was a Fascist could come to Mass until they renounce their sinful ways and return to the Faith.

Immediately the Fascist regimes in Vettaria and the Helvanic nations began to state that the Church was unpatriotic and was not to be trusted for they would stab their fellows in the back. Pope Innocent VIII knowing he had lost Antea, the Vettarian Federation and the former Catholic lands in the Reichsbund packed himself and prepared to go into exile in Bjores. However, as he was approaching the border with Ceroulia he was apprehended by the Helvanic Gehime Staatspolizei and the Vettaria NSVM.

The Pope was returned to Antea. Within a few short hours, the Vettarian Federation and the Helvanic Reichsbund issued their declarations of war to the Ceroulian Empire. At the same time, Helvanic forces countered the Ceroulian advance in Western Holstein. The storm of war had become a reality.


0012 Minutes into the War;
3rd Submarine Fleet;
100 Miles west from Ceroulia,
Continent of Valoria


Kapitänleutnant Otto Richter peered through the periscope like Helvanic U-Boat commanders did during the Great War, but unlike them, Richter and other modern commanders had RADAR to help them as well. He had spotted thee Ceroulian tankers off the heading towards Ceroulia. He smiled as he gave the tankers' courses and speeds.

"Kapitänleutnant, we are ready to strike," reported Richter's Executive Officer Oberleutnant zur See Hans Hess. Richter looked away from the scope to nod at Hess.

"Thank you, Hess. Prepare Tube 1 for the tanker to the rear," Richter directed. He continued, "Tube 2 for the tanker in the middle and the last tube is for the first tanker."

"Aye-aye sir."

As Hess and the crew prepared for the coming strike, Richter took in the last calculations. Nothing had changed. He then ordered. "Torpedo One!"

Hess spoke into the comms box and repeated the order. Over the box came the voice of the torpedo room's chief saying, "Torpedo One."

Richter then nodded to Hess and said, "Los."

"Los!"

LOS!

A brief hiss was heard throughout the sub as the torpedo launched. "Torpedo one launched, sir," reported the chief. Richter then ordered torpedo 2 to be launched. Another hiss was heard before he ordered the 3rd to be fired. 30 seconds after the second was fired, there was an explosion of a direct hit on the 1st tanker. Then the second burst into flames and then the third.

"Surface," ordered Richter. 5 minutes later the sub surfaced and as Richter climbed through the hatch and observed the wreckage, smiling, gave Hess the order to confirm to the Hochkommando der Kriegsmarine that the blockade was in position.

"Sieg oder Tod!" (Victory or death)
-Famous words of the Reichsbund

Two Hours after the declaration of war;
Operations concerning Hallevel


30 corvettes and 30 U-Boats moved in silence towards the coast of Hallevel to prepare the unleashing of hell against the Ceroulian navy in Hallevel. Meanwhile from the Greater Helvan's 3rd Air Force's bases; 123 Fighters, 12 Electronic Warfare planes, 50 bombers, and 15 close ground air support planes; along with 160 helicopters moved into attack positions.

The Hochkommando der Luftwaffe had issued a no-fly zone in Hallevel air space and attempted to reroute all flights (commercial or otherwise) to Alebcay. The Hochkommando der Kriegsmarine had issued a restricted waters designation around Hallevel. As the cruise missiles from the corvettes hurled into the sky, the U-Boats unleashed the deadly torpedoes against any Ceroulian flagged ship in the area. The fighter planes were seeking out enemy fighter formations throughout Hallevel's air space. The bombers dropped their deadly payloads onto Ceroulian air bases and other military installations throughout the Grand-Duchy.

The ground support air craft, fixed and rotary, quickly made their attack runs as the electronic warfare planes flew throughout Hallevel in an attempt to cut communications. With the air and sea assaults beginning, the Hochkommando der Heer and the Waffen-SS launched the ground offensives into Hallevel. The Helvanics, if successful, would add Hallevel to the new State of Westfalia. And if not, they'd pay the ultimate price.

Operation Sea Lion,
Two Hours after the declaration of war


Five cruisers, 10 destroyers and several 7 ship squadrons of corvettes guided the amphibious vessels towards the western Ceroulian coast. Aboard the amphibs, the Helvanic Naval Infantry prepared themselves for their assault. Then the wooshing of cruise and other missiles was heard as they flew threw the air towards Ceroulia. The Naval Infantrymen cheered as they saw their comrades' blows on Ceroulian land detonate of impact.

Within thirty minutes, the junior line officers of the Marinegrenadieren Streitkrafte (MGSK) were issuing orders to their men on their objectives and their goals.


Operations in Auvernia;
Two Hours after the declaration of war


The Vettarian Federation began their offensive with the same attack patterns as the Helvanics. Attempting to cut communications and destroy the air support of the Ceroulians there. As well as launching an amphibious strike on the southern coasts of Ceroulia, they also invaded from the east with a force 150,000 men.

Off the Macean Coast
700 km north/northeast of the Helvanic Fleet
HIMS Sarriguren and her task force


Despite the antics of the Helvan Navy, the Ceroulian navy fleet based in Hallevel was left unharmed. They departed after the Helvan Navy skimmed them by, leaving Veldhoven under the cover o f night, trailing behind the Helvan Navy. The fleet hung close by the Alebcayan shoreline until moving out towards open sea when emerging over Ceroulian waters. Active radar sat in waiting while passive radar searched for the Helvan fleet.

Meanwhile, three other navies had mobilized into action. The Malvines had a rendezvous point, the Ophuissan Channel where they would meet with various Imperial elements. The Lorcan and Maghrebian fleets were mobilized and directed towards the deeper waters of the Altantis, towards the Achill islands.

Southern Coast of Auvernia
Verona, Auvernia, 75 km southeast of Reggio
Positions of the 234 and 96th Tercios - Second Army


The town of Reggio saw the arrival the Helvanic forces in the afternoon. The Second Army had mobilized within Auvernia shortly after the Fourth Army had fortified themselves in Holstein. Reports from scouts detailing a sizable invasion force landing an hour ago had mobilized the 234th tercio.

The men were joyful to see the arrival of armor, the 96th tercio. Six AMX Leclerc tanks joined them in heading down the road towards the beach, were the invaders were said to be. Lieutenant Jean Grisey led his men down the road - they were spread out among the surrounding undergrowth, some on the road.

Grisey dispatched a platoon of men to go forward and meet the stranded night watch, who were still eyeing the Vettarians on the beach. The
Commander of the platoons of the night watch, Lt. Federico Estebanez, contacted Grisey coming down the road.

“Command, this is Night Watch over!”

"Night Watch, this is command receiving, what is your status? Over.”

"Command, enemy sighted. Approximately five hundred men and APC’s, and more, advancing fast. We are awaiting orders. Over."

"Night Watch, this is command. Engage!”


The night watch opened fire on the landing Vettarian soldiers , the opening shot being a grenade thrown down the cliff towards the Vettarian soldiers.

Official Communiqué from the Foreign Ministry of the United Commonwealth

The situation in Valoria concerns Her Majesty's Government in the United Commonwealth deeply. Allowing violence and insurrection to escalate freely will only destabilise the continent, consigning its peoples to destitution and weakening the security of the eastern frontier. The free nations of Western Valoria would be naive to forget the events which led to the Great War and its tragic consequences.

The United Kingdom shares a historic relationship with the Holstinian people and as such cannot ignore the residual duties that this bond entails. Indeed the Hardo-Holstinian treaty commits the United Commonwealth to the Kingdom's defence. Unless the Helvan Government-General in Merlin and the Ceroulian Imperial Government in Borjes agree to cease firing, Her Majesty's Government in the United Commonwealth will be left with no alternative option but to exercise its obligations as defined by the Treaty, so as to guarantee the safety of the Holstinian people.

Such a recourse to military action would be unfortunate. Continued peace and stability in Valoria is the principle which underpins the United Commonwealth's global policy. As such, the following peace proposal is laid out in good faith, beneath the understanding that continued conflict will only serve the interests of Novgorod to the detriment of Valoria's civilised peoples.

Upon acceptance by the Ceroulian and Helvan governments, the following measures are to be implemented immediately.


  • Helvan and Ceroulian forces engaged in battle against one another will cease firing.
  • Within 24 hours naval, air and ground forces either embarked on combat operations or involved in incursions into hostile
  • territory will return to their bases and stand down.
  • All foreign forces are to withdraw from Holstinian sovereign territory within a week of the ceasefire agreement's implementation.

Fulfilment of the above terms will allow settlement of the situation in Holstein, as outlined below.


  • The Holstinian Parliament will declare a state of emergency, to be implemented throughout e territory immediately.
  • The Holstinian Army will assume responsibility for security, supported by a peacekeeping contingent of the Hardenburghian Army.
  • Upon the successful implementation of these measures, the government of Holstein will dissolve, after which the King will convene a provisional government representative of all political and ethnic groups in Holstein.
  • The Provisional Government will convene a constitutional convention to consider the future the future of the Holstinian state.
  • The proposals which the Convention agrees upon will then be put to the Holstinian population in a referendum, monitored by international observers.
  • All external observers will sign a further agreement committing them to recognise, support and uphold the result of the referendum.
  • The Hardenburghian Peacekeeping Mission will cooperate with the Provisional Government and the Holstinian Army to implement the referendums result, before withdrawing.
  • Her Majesty's government in the United Kingdom will renegotiate the terms of the Hardo-Holstinian agreement in line with the outcome of the referendum.
  • If the Kingdom of Holstein votes for a national divorce then a further Great Power conference will be required to ensure that this process is complete without providing further conflict between the nations of Valoria.


Her Majesty's Government in the United Commonwealth is not only committed to resolving the present dispute between the Ceroulian Empire and Helvan Reich, but also guaranteeing long term peace and prosperity from which all nations all nations and peoples can benefit. For these reasons, Her Majesty's Government proposes the establishment of a Western Valorian Union, through which nations can trade, cooperate and resolve their diplomatic disputes through official co flirt resolution mechanisms.

It is hoped that all parties will accept this agreement as a fair and just means of accepting peace with honour without compromising the security of Western Valoria.

I have the honour to be, with high consideration,

Sirs,
Your obedient servant,
