The fuel air bomb explodes and levels a building. A few others nearby are damaged and a lot of windows are broken. Though, because of early warning, the people had been evacuated.

The plane drops its second fuel air bomb, on the other side of the industrial sector. It had also not bombed this place yet.

That would also level a building and damage a few others. Alot of windows are broken, but that area hadn't been evacuated completely. There are some civilian casualties. Meanwhile the AA machine guns keep firing.

Given the bomber's altitude, speed, and relatively small profile, the machine guns do nothing and just waste ammunition. The bomber is over the residential areas of the city now, and drops two bombs containing leaflets. The bombs break open a few hundred meters above the ground and spread the leaflets everywhere. On them, a message printed in Russian and all of the official or common languages of Iseia reads:
Citizens of New Iseia,
We, the government of the Chevskograd State have declared war upon the nation of New Iseia. This war will not end until such time as your government surrenders to us and meets the following reasonable demands: -Reparations for their attack on our peacekeeping forces in Nuevo Madrid -The secession of northern coastal territories and all territories west of the city of New Iseia -Agree to a treaty to not build any kind of military aircraft -The delivery of several tons of resources, which will be defined later by the Chevskograd State
Until your government meets our demands, the bombings will continue unabated. We recommend that all Iseians who work in the industrial districts of the city stay in their homes, in order to avoid any further civilian casualties as a result of our bombing raids.
Thank you, -Premier Chenkov

The government of New Iseia rejects the proposition. Anti Chevkian sentiments had been growing in Iseia since the bombings started. They didn't make the people want to surrender. It did the opposite. It made them hate Chevskograd and made them want to get revenge for the losses. Just like strategic bombing had a rallying call for the people of Britian in the blitz, it did that for the Iseians as well.

After a rather drawn out session the previous day, a diplomat was being sent out to Chevskgrad and New Iseia. The diplomats wouldn't arrive until later that month, sometime around the 26th. At Pustitina another expansion plan is laid out, promoting for the automation of steel production, The construction of a Manufacturing plant is funded by the government. The plant will be dedicated to the construction of propeller aircraft engines. The factory is expected to be completed in late December, just in time for new years. Achieving operational status however isn't expected to happen until May of next year.

Over the next several months, the states north of Freital would be swayed by Freital's diplomats to join the German Confederation. It would be an incredibly loose arrangement to them, held together with words and declarations of freindship rather than any real, sealed documents. Parts of the states to the north of Freital would even have some of their provinces reject the confederation, resulting in its border embedding itself over areas that don't compose the entire area of a member-state. Provinces from the south that bordered the Confederation itself would also opt to join, while their parent nations would opt out due to shoddy relations with Freital for the moment.
Freital meanwhile would send its first Patrol Boats out to sea, the crews forming the first sailors of the Confederation Kriegsmarine. They would be put in the strait for patrol duties, along with sailing along the coast to combat smugglers and illegal naval actions. They would wait for the Lübeck to be finished, while the Kreigsmarine would order a second Lübeck-Class Frigate with the new free dockyard space.

By now all the vehicles were done. The canal was almost completed with the help of Acropolis. The second light tank wasn't done unfortunately. Iseia also finally had some anti aircraft defenses. The Chevskian bomber suddenly wasn't much of a threat. Morale was higher than it had been for awhile.

The bombing raids had continued up until the Iseians had gotten their AA guns set up, at which point they occurred with less frequency. They had stopped now. The bomber had delivered increasingly devastating payloads, and had at one point focused several of its bombing runs on one particular area, decimating it.
Chevskograd contacts its allies to the west, telling them that if they are true comrades they will assist Chevskograd in marching on Iseia via the ground. Chevskograd's troops had over the past month moved through the apathetic Russian states to the west, and sat on the Iseian border for a few weeks. This had, of course, annoyed the aforementioned states, but not enough to tell them to get out. Both because the Chevskian forces weren't doing anything and because the force was massive.
The Chevskian force consisted of 500 soldiers, one main battle tank, 2 IFVs, 10 troop transport trucks, 2 Katyushas, and 4 towed AA guns (which they had finished a week or two prior). They begin crossing Iseia's border, heading straight towards the city.
The government, meanwhile, contacts a corrupt Iseian politician with influence over the military and offers him a massive sum of money if he does what he can to delay or sabotage the Iseian military response. He'll be paid half up front, and the other half if he succeeds in having a noticeable effect on Iseia's military.

120 soldiers were riding a transport as it arrived in a small port town south east of New Iseia, The Vlk soon to dock as well. During Chevskograd's bombings runs, they had the misfortune of bombing the Diplomat from Pustitina while he had been on a tour of the city. Pustitina had denounced the action but was not willing to commit against Chevskograd, the diplomat to Chevskograd had largely been spending his time gathering what information he could about the situation that happened with the "Peacekeeping" force. Enough so to of stormed out of the city and homeward bound after finding out just how small a percentage of the population supported communism in Nuevo Madrid. As such, Pustitina sends a very simple message to Chevskograd.
"Given evidence that our diplomat to you had discovered, we henceforth consider Nuevo Madrid to having been conquered by an informal and undeclared war. We of Pustitina look poorly on such conduct as this, as of this moment we are extending aid towards New Iseia. Our support shall last until such a time as Nuevo Madrid is given a fair and reasonable resolution for your mockery of a peacekeeping force. This includes but is not limited to the reinstation of the previous government and the full withdraw of Chevskian forces from the territory. Consider this a formal declaration of war should you fail to comply with demands"
The 120 troops consisted of 8 3 man Sniper teams and 16 6 man Squads. Between the squads was 4 81mm Mortars with 20 rounds of ammunition each and 6 14mm Heavy machineguns. There was Seven trucks to carry all the equipment and soldiers, while the Vlk remained stationed at the small harbor to stay guard.
-Pustitina- In Pustitina, an additional 100 soldiers had finally been recruited, training had begun though it wasn't expected to complete for some time, given training courses had been drastically increased to levels normally reserved for special forces. This was boot camp.

Canal: November 5th, 2532 Velite Light Tank: September 30th, 2532 Infantry company 4x: November 15th, 2532
The convoy would roll into a minefield. Observation teams would spot them long before they become a threat for the city. The fighters would be launched. They'd fly at low altitude and use hills to obscure their flight until they hit the plains. Then they would fly in fast and hit the AA guns first. The planes would take on half the AA guns individually. They would drop their bombs on the first two and rocket the other two. They would also strafe the guns for good measure. Then they'd retreat out of range of small arms fire. However, the machine guns would only have a few seconds. The planes were flying at 380 Km/h. After that they'd go home to rearm.
Plus the 120 from Pusitania meant there 820 soldiers facing the Chevskians. The Iseians gladly accepted the help.
Meanwhile 400 Iseian soldiers were taken out of training. They had about seven months of training. The six 8 cm (80mm) AA guns were moved to the out skirts and leveled with the ground.

The convoy knew where the minefield was, of course, thanks to scouts, spies, and satellite images showing its location as it was being constructed. They stopped before they hit it, and deployed minesweeping equipment. The AA guns were set up, and not destroyed instantly without a chance to respond by the Iseian fighters because that would be FUCKING BULLSHIT. Instead, as soon as the Iseian fighters come into view they open fire, along with all of the convoy's heavy machine guns. Since the fighter bombers were flying low, the machine guns would be able to hit them. The guns were medium guns, 88mm in size.
Noting that they'd need more men, Chevskograd pulls the 311 troops out of training. They'd been training for seven months, and were sufficiently experienced. 250 of them are sent to Iseia, and will meet up with the Chevskian invasion force at some point. The remaining 61 of them, plus the 189 troops already in Chevskograd, would remain in Chevskograd as a defense force. Iseia would now be facing 750 troops from Chevskograd alone, not counting its allies.
Speaking of allies, now that Pustatina has declared war, Chevskograd asks Vankovich for help since its technically a defensive war against Pustatina; Chevskograd didn't do anything to them.
AUgust 17th, 2532 Wednesday, 14:56
The guns are damaged, however the bombs miss and only damage one of the transport trucks, which had been towing one of the AA guns. The rockets damage one of the AA guns, rendering it immobile. The guns that had been set up already start firing on the retreating Iseian planes, flak rounds exploding behind and in front of them. 5 members of the gun crews are killed, and the bombs also damaged a second AA gun, making it more difficult to aim.

Freital, in the news of heating up border conflict coming in, would dispatch a second Company to the Canal Zone. With two Jäger-Class Patrol Boats on the end of the canal, and being dispatched over-land with a Schildpanzer MKI, two Leicht Späherpanzer MKII, and two Leicht Späherpanzer MKI. They would move over sea on the Jägers and requisitioned transport vessels. Landing near the end of the canal, they would spread out and move north to meet with the company of troops already there defending the construction crews in their final efforts to finish the canal.

Freital would begin investing in AA Guns of their own, 78mm AA Guns to be precise. They would be towed behind professionally-build armoured technicals, and were expected to be completed by the end of this month and beginning of next month. Then shore-defense guns would be coming along quickly, their shells nearly finished and the only thing left to make with them being the armoured plating to cover the turret itself to provide extra defense against small arms and other shells.

The Chekal- noting of the war's recent rising -keep to their tradng with Chevskograd through either aircraft of ground transport through the land. Of course, being located northeast made it hard not to go over the opposing states, but as long as no one had been threatening or warning them, they continued on their way with trading. They supplied Chevskograd with food and water as usual, but it seemed a few dedicated drivers or soldiers had sneaked in ammunition and clothing.
The Chekal's government hasn't made much of an opinion on the whole beginning of another war, but they clearly seem bent on neutrality as their military has not mobilized to strike down southward, despite their position.

The first Komar is completed and approved by the Warsovian government. Two more are approved to be produced, and work begins on constructing them and their armaments. There is also worry of Warszawa's position as a port city, and lack of naval defenses. A destroyer sized hull is commissioned, to be made out primarily of imported Iseian steel.

The troops Pustitina landed would have arrived at New Iseia, with little more then an alert of what they were doing they had been marking out defensive positions facing towards the south west. At head count, there was 96 soldiers present and accounted for, along with the mortars and machine guns. The defensive positions they were marking out were low to the ground and scattered just behind the first line of buildings in the city, the troops themselves hadn't setup at the positions quite yet though, taking some time to enjoy themselves a little.

The Confederation, sensing that this conflict will brew into something far worse if left to fester, would offer to mediate a peace in Freital between Chevskograd, Iseia and Pusitania. Inviting Vankovich and Chekal as well due to being Chevskograd's allies. It would be scheduled to be held on September 8th, 2532 and Freital would demand that all three sides begin a ceasefire until the conference.
Meanwhile, the German Confederation would open military recruitment up to 1,000 new regulars due to the threat posed by the outside world at this point. They would begin the slow process of integrating the militaries of their nations, with most of the new regulars coming from states that arn't Freital or its constituent states.

Iseia agrees to join the peace conference. Afterall, Chevskograd aggression had started the war, not Iseia. A diplomat is sent. Still, the 700 Iseian troops had been fortifying the area near the city. Temporary sandbag and timber bunkers along with foxholes and trenches, but fortifications nonetheless. The single Velite tank and the 8cm anti-aircraft guns were camouflaged and put into earthen pits, so less of the emplacements were visible. Pieces of foliage were placed on them to break up their outline. The fighters were on standby, ready to called on.

The Vlk has returned to Dalmur, awaiting further orders. the 96 Pustitinian soldiers still remained at New Iseia, coming and going every now and then. They had found several nooks and crannies to hide away defensive points in, places that would normally be useless save for their small statue. Outside the city, only rumored sightings were known of further troops, though no confirmed sightings yet. The snipers doing quite a swell job at hiding away in wait. Pustitina itself though, upon hearing the demand for the conference would rather casually agree. The diplomat in Dalmur would be brought down by the Vlk shortly for the convention.

The Vlk would pull into harbor, the Pustitina diplomat rather quick to disembark once they had docked. He had a briefcase in one hand and a nearly empty bottle of wine in the other, stumbling along slightly as he made way towards where the conference was to be held. The briefcase in question contained a few papers for documentation along with another bottle of wine. Lameri just watched the diplomat wander off and said rather calmly "Ten bucks says we're going to have to haul his ass out of jail", an officer responding "I'll make it Twenty", A sailor shouting "Thirty!" while another shouts "I'll start the betting pool!"

The rest of the 200 men are successfully recruited into the Warsovian armed forces, equipped, and begin their training. With the Republic at peace, the men will go through a 9 week basic training program, and progress into a longer advanced training program. The second Komar is around a third done, expected to be completed in another 54 days.

In the year 2358, humanity was well aware it wasn't the only race to ply the stars. What they found unusual though was most species they came across were around the same level of advancement as humanity itself, many of these races having only recently reached out into the galaxy themselves. Among the stars though they found themselves lucky in that most species were friendly. However as humanity expanded among the stars they found remnants, signs, of other races that had existed eons ago who were not so friendly. Among the remnants though, humanity discovered that not all races to be found would be so friendly. -----
September 10th, 2532 Friday, 11:39
Across the globe, special deliveries were being made by Acropolis Couriers. These deliveries were bound for the various "Countries" developing, A high security briefcase under orders only to be opened by heads of government. Inside the briefcase a number of documents would be contained, including three large photos, a fine printed document and a "Secured" satellite phone linked to Acropolis.
The photos would show three different states of the City known as "Skit Holu", the first would be dated June 6th, showing the city in its normal peaceful state. The second, taken on June 29th, would show the city locked down with soldiers easily spotted as roaming the streets. The final picture, taken July 22nd, would show the town completely deserted with a number of buildings leveled.
The document though would actually be two separate documents, the first detailing the situation as follows.
"the Sovereign state of Acropolis has hereby declared an emergency following information uncovered involving the City state "Skit Holu", The first and foremost of these issues is the complete disappearance of all persons known to reside in the city in a span of 23 days. This issue comes of great interest to us for the mater by which it was done.
The second issue comes from our own attempts at ground recon, as of August 10th, a recon team had arrived on the scene. Discovering no trace of the population and significant signs of a major battle, no bodies had been discovered and all organic foodstuffs has been found missing. At first it was believed that the town had evacuated for some reason however they discovered something else. Signs and tracks had been found that a large force of some form had descended from the north and caused massive damage to the entire north side of the town. Again, no bodies had been found though the trail left behind was quickly followed.
The third issue comes from the recon team itself, We have received no word from them sense August 15th, the last known transmission was a request to know of all known cities local to the region. Satellites have lost track of the squad and the latest photos have revealed no change in Skit Holu sense the incident. This is only compounded by the latest Intel received on September the 5th, in our attempts to run satellite recon."
Attached would be a four pictures in a row on a single page, the pictures in question streamlining to show some a rather massive number of strange creatures marching down from the north along a road. In sharp red letters marked at the bottom with an arrow, the name "Behei City" is marked, with 312 miles. Indicating where the army is heading and how far out it is. The picture is dated as September 4th.
The second document was a full legal text document requesting an Armistice between all sovereign powers to facilitate a temporary alignment of arms until such a time as the emergency situation created in the north is dealt with. To which at the end of the document, it is marked that the satellite phone is only to be used to contact Acropolis on maters pertaining to the situation and that the phones will become inert once the emergency has ended.

With the arrival of a threat that could wipe out entire cities, Warsovian forces begin a move east to secure their borders there. It would leave their south exposed, but they hoped that other states would agree to Acropolis's temporary alliance. In fact, diplomats are organized to go to Iseia and the German Confederation to make sure they are willing to cooperate.
