       Astrothian Denunciation of Central Aenia
   DIR By: MrTheChimp
       Date: March 29, 2016, 1:16 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Let me tell you a story.
       I, Chief Chief Lhilvai, was headed for IBIS, in order to assist
       them in the Eruaenian civil war.
       When off the coast of IBIS, I was intercept by a joint fleet,
       from Central Aenia and Amber. Negotiations began.
       In the ensuing debate, they asked that I leave, or face war. I
       was in a position of strength, but, nonetheless, decided on
       leaving. On the condition that they leave as well.
       Now, I had been sailing with a group of Zhosans. It was the
       Zhosan Eastern Fleet. They left back for Tlenen, the northern
       city of Zhosa, as well as I did, when leaving the confrontation
       north of IBIS.
       However, the Zhosans later sent a merchant sub to deliver
       shipments to the IBIS forces. This unarmed submarine was
       detected by a specialized fighter, and is currently being
       pursued by a Central Aenian Destroyer.
       There are a number of things this reveals.
       - Firstly, the Central Aenians disobey their part of the treaty
       stay out of the waters off of IBIS. They had patrols of aircraft
       across the waters after their promise.
       - Secondly, they sent a destroyer into the waters that they
       swore to not enter, once again going against their promise.
       Henceforth, the Great Union of Astroth denounces the vile and
       deceitful actions of the Central Aenian Federation.

       Fool.
       You made your mistake when you sent help to those IBIS rats.
       Join the Eastern Pact fleet at the bottom of the ocean.

       The Zhosan League stands with Astroth. We are also against the
       dishonorable  and shameful actions of the Central Aenian
       Federation.

       IBIS was not actually the intended destination of the
       MvA/Eastern Fleet. It was originally going to help the Monarchs,
       but they were defeated by IRAF, an accomplice of the Central
       Aenians. We do not have solid evidence yet, but we believe that
       the Central Aenians have been funding the IRAF. The IRAF has an
       incredible abundance of military and it is impossible for them
       to have done this without funding from abroad.

       This is completely preposterous, and we cannot believe the
       Astrothian government has made these foolish claims.
       In the beginning of the Eruaenian civil war, elements of the
       Aenian Navy were dispatched to the region on behalf of the
       Aenian Continental Allied Forces to keep track of unidentified
       fleet movements in the area. Last month, a battlegroup
       consisting of an aircraft carrier, two battleships, and over a
       dozen smaller auxiliary ships were spotted sailing eastward
       towards ACAF waters. The Aenian First Fleet and the Amberian
       Fregatide Battlegroup set sail to ensure the joint
       Astrothian-Zhosani fleet left alliance territory.
       Aerial reconnaissance proved that the fleet was containing an
       Astrothian marine brigade, estimated to make landfall in Port
       Fenrir. As ACAF has stated in its doctrine and during the
       Vareland Crisis, foreign troops stepping foot on Allied
       territory is considered an act of war against all nations. First
       Fleet Admiral Nicholas Anderson explained this to you, and as
       you said, cut a deal to resolve the conflict peacefully.
       However, this deal has been grossly exaggerated to the
       international community. Our part of the bargain was, as Admiral
       Anderson bluntly put it: Drop all ties with IBIS and leave, and
       we will continue our stance of not funding IRAF, and our fleet
       will sail home. The First Fleet did, in fact, sail back to its
       base in Port St. Hewlett. The deal did not regard the naval
       units which were already on patrol in Eruaenian waters, and they
       resumed their usual patrol. Secondly, we did not promise to keep
       out of IBIS waters, and we do not even recognize what you
       consider IBIS waters as sovereign territory.
       Furthermore, you criticize us for not sticking to our part of an
       exaggerated deal, while you are in clear violation of it. The
       deal is quoted as saying "cut all ties with IBIS and leave," and
       we can see you have done neither. For one, the same patrol units
       have seen your battlegroup already entering the area, and there
       is no way the fleet could have returned to another continent and
       sailed back so quickly. Secondly, the Zhosani merchant submarine
       was tracked by the destroyer Clifred making landfall on IBIS
       territory, as you said yourself. There is no doubt that the
       submarine was delivering money and material goods to support the
       IBIS war effort, showing that you have failed to comply in
       cutting all ties. Do note that the Clifred is the same destroyer
       which led the operation to rescue stranded Eastern Pact sailors
       in these same waters no more than a month ago; its deployment
       was no secret.
       Chief Chief Lhilvai, you promised Admiral Anderson that you were
       a man of your word. But your actions tell us that you disregard
       any honor held by a verbal pact. Your actions to deceive the
       world into thinking we are a nation of subversive hypocrites is
       incredibly unsound and unjust.
       And for the record, we are the Federation of Central Aenia.
       -John Richardson, President
       Federation of Central Aenia
       Let the international community be aware that agents have
       tracked more than 20,000,000 credits entering IBIS' war effort,
       and during the naval confrontation, Lhilvai openly admitted
       this. The Zhosani submarine likely contained another shipment of
       money to support the war machine, even when they promised to
       cease this. And we have received word that IBIS was somehow able
       to procure a fully functioning battleship.
       -Robert Sinclair, Director
       Federal Department of Investigation
       The Zhosani "merchant" submarine sailed without official
       designation, made no attempts to contact us, and secretly traded
       with an unrecognized state with the word "Insurgency" in their
       name. No actual merchant ship would do this. The motive is clear
       and against continental interests.

       Aenian Naval Ship Clifred

       We wished ACAF would provide financial support, but we had
       better luck trying to dig up buried chests filled with gold.
       With hard work we were able to re-establish a war machine with
       the 9 MC we grabbed in the opening moments of the civil war.
       When we routed the Monarchist forces to the sea, infantry
       captured 4.5 MC from the Monarch treasury in Termina. And when
       the Meritocracy forces surrendered, their reserves of 13 MC were
       annexed and used to procure additional arms. The IRAF military
       was constructed with a mindset that when the time came to
       provide pay checks to our loyal soldiers, we would have already
       tripled our size. As of now, 70 million Eruaenians live in our
       land, and taxes never ceased to exist.
       Meanwhile, the "Independent" Bazerian Insurgency State received
       over 20 MC from foreign powers. What does it have to show for
       it?
       -Adam Hummel, Supreme Commander
       Independent Republic Allied Forces
       All ACAF member states have been following a strict policy of
       not finding any of the rivaling factions. As such, the FCA has
       kept to our side of the bargain and have refused IRAF's pleas
       for financial support. Meanwhile:
       -IBIS has received over 20 MC in Astrothian money and an
       unknown amount of Zhosian, and Chief Chief Lhilvai has openly
       admitted this. And a military armada large enough to unite
       Eruaenia under IBIS' banner is approaching rapidly.
       -The Eruaenian Monarchists were collaborating with the
       Eastern Pact for a joint amphibious assault on the continent,
       securing Eruaenia under their sphere of influence.
       -The Eruaenian Worker's Party's military has effectively
       tripled in size, clearly showing monetary support from either
       the Rocinate Commune or the Republic of Askosia.
       -ERUASOC has received at least 12 MC from the Zastavan State
       and its military has nearly doubled in size.
       Continue your efforts to trace an imaginary IRAF money trail and
       you will be severely disappointed.

       The Central Aenian Response to my claim was not unexpected, and

       Yes, it is correct that we sent a fleet to aid IBIS. You, in
       turn, sent a fleet to stop this. Up to this point, it is all
       well. You then threaten us to leave, saying you will do the same
       if we leave.

       None of the deal was exaggerated. Also, we did cut all ties to
       IBIS. since the confrontation, we stopped funding of IBIS, and
       left for home. Additionally, the claim that you have not funded
       IRAF is highly unlikely. It is impossible for IRAF to have
       achieved it's current military power without foreign funding,
       and both Central Aenia and Amber explicitly stated their support
       for the IRAF.

       You may have sailed home, but you also stated that you had not
       and would continue to not interfere. Your continued patrols show
       a very different message. Additionally, if you had meant that
       your primary fleet would leave, and that you would continue
       patrolling the coast, why had you not said this? This is a very
       vague point to make.

       What you said is that you would leave. You kept units in the

       On the contrary, the fleet is not near that location at all.
       Additionally, it very well could have returned in short notice.
       The deal was for the fleet to leave. It did.
       This was your offer:
       "Our deal is this: You will drop all ties with IBIS and leave,
       we will continue our stance not funding IRAF, and our fleet will
       also sail home."
       We did this. Additionally, your offer, in itself, likely
       included fake information.

       The submarine was not mine. It was from Zhosa.

       Lhilvai, after being caught commanding a multi-national naval
       armada within our alliance's waters twice, you continue to
       believe you are the victim of suffering, and that the FCA must
       be to blame.
       The fact of the matter is you do not send the world's largest
       battleship as a flagship for an invasion force with a marine
       landing party in tow for anything less than an amphibious
       assault. There is no doubt in our minds that you are only angry
       at the Federation for halting your barbaric activities before
       Eruaenia could be placed under your sphere of influence. Again,
       you openly admit your joint battlegroup was focused on aiding an
       insurgent state in a civil war. Foreign imperialism is something
       we do not appease, and you cannot pretend to be faultless on the
       matter.
       You claim to have cut all ties with IBIS, yet you are openly
       admitting to turning around and sailing back here to aid them.
       You do not claim authority over the Zhosani submarine but
       Zhosani ships comprise most of the vessels in the fleet under
       your command. We consider the Zhosani agenda to be aligned with
       yours.
       It should have been clearly implied that the Admiral of the
       First Fleet was talking in regards to the First Fleet; we do not
       see how this was vague. The destroyer Clifred has been
       independently under the command of Captain De Vico for the past
       year, and the other ships in the patrol are not under Anderson's
       jurisdiction.
       The Aenian vessels which were already patrolling were indeed
       continuing to patrol after the confrontation, we aren't denying
       this at all. Their mission is to ensure subversive activities,
       such as a large fleet attempting to land marines into a rebel
       state, are stopped before they endanger the future of Eruaenia.
       Something which the Astroth-Zhosa command is completely guilty
       of.
       You claim to be free of guilt because no Astrothians touched the
       ground, but that is only because we were there to stop you. Do
       not try to pretend that you didn't attempt to land your marines
       at Port Fenrir while we were discussing deal terms.
       You continue to claim that we are at fault solely for the
       strategic genius of the IRAF forces. The estimation of IRAF's
       military force is a testament in itself that we did not
       intervene; if we truly did invest over 70 MC into the conflict,
       the Aenian economy would collapse. For that matter, the Aenian
       economy is not even worth that amount.
       Lhilvai, you have absolutely no proof that the FCA has aided in
       the civil war, primarily because the intervention you speak of
       doesn't exist. The FCA has been and will continue to work
       alongside other ACAF member states to prevent any foreign powers
       from deliberately conquering Eruaenia in their time of need. You
       have only convinced me that you are trying to do exactly that.
       -John Richardson, President
       Federation of Central Aenia
       I absolutely cannot take the Chief Chief serious when he is
       accusing us of intervening in a civil war when he has openly
       admitted to be doing so. Lhilvai is acting like a child; just
       bitter that his puppet faction is inevitably going to lose.
       -Nicholas Anderson, Admiral
       Federal Department of the Navy
       The number provided by IBIS looks like it is made up, or perhaps
       their intelligence needs to be revised significantly. Mr.
       Lincoln failed to realize a tremendous portion of the more
       expensive divisions of IRAF forces were either ours to begin
       with or absorbed from the Meritocracy. The IRAF war machine has
       only produced 800 tanks, 1,200 anti air halftracks, 3,000 men,
       and 36 aircraft. In order to meet our financial constraints,
       factories only operated at half efficiency, decreasing the cost
       by 50%. Our bureaucracy skills are nothing to be trifled with.

       Under my sphere of influence? Clearly you don't understand. We
       were aiding a secessionist state, and a Monarchist movement.
       IBIS, the secessionist state, is a secessionist state. In it's
       very nature it is not under another nations sphere of influence.
       As for the monarchs, who we were never able to assist, they were
       directly aided by multiple other nations. If I wanted a section
       of Eruaenia under Astroth's control, it would not be a faction
       that was receiving more aid from another source. It's simply
       illogical.

       your command. We consider the Zhosani agenda to be aligned with
       yours.

       We are not sailing back to aid IBIS, though doing so would be
       well within our rights. You have disobeyed your agreement. Just
       as it takes two ox to pull a cart, it takes two to hold the
       agreement. I will not hold my side if you don't do the same.
       The fleet is sailing to ensure safe passage of the merchant
       submarine. Additionally, I, in the Flagship, will be sailing
       eastward, past Central Aenia. None of us are landing on Aenian
       soil.

       year, and the other ships in the patrol are not under Anderson's
       jurisdiction.

       Your chain of command is not something us in Astroth care to
       argue over. If you make an agreement to leave, make sure you are
       clear about what is leaving.

       continuing to patrol after the confrontation, we aren't denying
       this at all. Their mission is to ensure subversive activities,
       such as a large fleet attempting to land marines into a rebel
       state, are stopped before they endanger the future of Eruaenia.
       Something which the Astroth-Zhosa command is completely guilty
       of.

       Do not try to pretend that you tried to land your marines at
       Port Fenrir while we were discussing deal terms.

       We have no shame in stating that we wished to assist IBIS. This
       may be 'guilty' of something, but was 1, before the treaty, and
       2, wouldn't have broken the treaty anyway. No Astrothians
       landed. We held our part.

       military force is a testament in itself that we did not
       intervene; if we truly did invest over 70 MC into the conflict,
       the Aenian economy would collapse. For that matter, the Aenian
       economy is not even worth that amount.

       alongside other ACAF member states to prevent any foreign powers
       from deliberately conquering Eruaenia in their time of need. You
       have only convinced me that you are trying to do exactly that.

       If I had wanted to invade Eruaenia, I wouldn't have sent a mere
       3 Astrothian MvA units. It would have clearly failed. With or
       without the intervention, you broke the deal.
       No Astrothian units in that area, no FCA units in that area.
       There are FCA Units in that area.
