The fuel air bomb had exploded above the industrial sector of the city, its gaseous mixture spreading out in an umbrella shape before igniting. The pressure wave would demolish nearby buildings and kill many in the vicinity. The fireball would be visible for several kilometers. The napalm would be dropped on the industrial sector as well, a few bombs hitting warehouses and setting them alight.

The firefighters realize that the fires weren't getting put out at the blast areas. It's quickly assumed napalm had hit. They focoused on containing the fires instead of putting them out. It was hoped the fires would burn themselves out.

The bomber has returned to base and another fuel air bomb is being constructed, though it won't be used on this bombing run. Instead, 24 250 lb napalm bombs would be fitted to the bomber. It would be launched again on the 26th.

In Dalmur, a project is opened to expand the airfields there. Along with this, expansion of current industries is underway as part of a project to overhaul Dalmur's economic value. Part of this due to incentives placed by Pustitina to expand its own industries into that area. No military production was being relocated there however outside of small arms production. In Pustitina itself though, another 300 men are added to the existing project as the facility is almost doubled in size. the second team of workers assigned to little more then replication of the work the first one was already had done. Hopes are, despite delays, that the project would be done before the end of the year still.

Freital would offer no condemnation of Chevskograd's actions, but would merely release an offical statement saying that they would be deploying 200 soldiers who would fire upon both Isean and Chevskian forces if they attempted to bring the fighting to the Canal Construction Zone, this statement backed up by Acropolis. The interests of both powers merging in this moment to keep the project safe from damage and destruction before its completion.
Freital would revise the completion date of the Jutland, namesake of the Jutland-Class of Battlecruisers. It would be expected to receive its commission in Januar of 2534 and take to the seas shortly after. A class of Destroyers would be discussed, along with several new Lübecks and another class of Frigate to be fielded. All would be discussion, rather than actual planning due to the backing up of Freital's drydocks. However land factories would not be backed up, and plans for two more Leicht Späherpanzer MKIIs would be added, along with plans for another Schildpanzer MKI.

When word reaches Pustitina on the war starting between Chevskograd and New Iseia, there is only minor talks as to what to do about it. As its fairly obvious that they have no forces able to assist with the situation being its so far inland. However, despite this, an order is made for 30 Jager Sniper rifles to be special made and shipped to New Iseia, they are expected to arrive around July 13th, no formal statement is made of this impending shipment. The generals overall agree that so long as Chevskograd makes no advances elsewhere that its not worth committing troops, despite the inherent risks communism would have to the market.

The bomber takes off again, loaded with 24 250 lb napalm bombs. Its target is an Iseian military base it had spotted on its first bombing run. It would arrive at 11:01 and drop the incendiaries on buildings at the military base, hoping to kill personnel inside.

The Chekal offer more food and alike to their trade partner- the Skeka and humans within Chevskograd-as the Chekal continue along with working. Alongside the Chekal's rare military patrols on their borders, they send out expeditions to find more resources to set up mines and get fresh water sources for outward towns. A colonization effort in a way, while attempting at gathering more resources to sustain the population and make sure it's growth doesn't get out of hand. Speaking of population growth, the Chekal continue on their way over the previous months with a steady, accurate numbers in their population. Nothing too off course...
The recent bombing of New Iseia has gone little cared for by the Chekal, not precisely unaware of their partner's actions, but How much they actually cared seemed very restricted. Possibly out of fear, or maybe just out of the confidence they wouldn't deal with the same in their future.
_________________________________________________
"That is rather concerning, isn't it?" Akez barely listened, it seemed like anything they talked about here would just be gossip on recent events, or maybe old news that wouldn't bite back at all. "I've been pushing for support on helping the victims but no, we can't, we'll be attacked next they suppose." A politician stated, they were all sitting around a table, a casual discussion within a restaurant, a rather well made one for the rich with good breakfast for the morning. On another planet, maybe these would be more common, but here it was a rarity, especially since this world could be seen more as a agricultural one for the Chekal. Then again, they are more of the society on nature and hunting, science and warfare was not of interest, but that didn't stop them from becoming a hard working society. At least they had resources to maintain themselves.
For once, Akez joined the discussion to much the surprise of the others- "I wouldn't even try, it seems stupid to help the opposition of a trade partner. Best case scenario we're not at war with them." And just after that, he went make to eating, not like what he said was of importance anyways. But, maybe it was of importance, because there wasn't much said by the politician after that.

"That ain't fair!"
"Well I'm not stopping you!"
Zarola had taken up a position in a tree, a few other hunters below her though had just begun to walk through until she caught eye of them- the problem with them walking past here? It was considered the border. Now, with where the Chekal were it wasn't like crossing the border was a big deal, they were pretty isolated (except across the water- the land mass was colonized by everyone else on this world) but it was considered dangerous to cross into the wild, patrols didn't go there and expeditions were busy clearing up land for resources, making it even harder to find anything...
"If you don't have the patience, then find a den and walk around that area, you'll find something eventually." Zarola stated, sitting on a branch up in one of the trees, she leaned her back up against the main trunk of the tree for support. "That is all I have to say, good luck otherwise." The hunters grumbled, all three soon moving on out of sight as they went through bushes and between trees. Zarola only looked at the ground for a while, until the rope tightened around the ankle of a passing creature, pulling it upward. "Easy." She said, soon climbing down.

Freital's forces deployed to the canal would dig in, intermingling with construction crews and providing help when they could and were off duty. Their defense line would primarily be infantry dug in with sandbags and trenches, established quickly to protect the canal's construction site and being filled in as they move further and further north, moving with the construction crews as they worked from south to north.
With the Leicht Späherpanzer MKII finished, Freital would order two more to be produced for the Freitalian Military. It would pass its testing courses with flying colours, being a welcome addition to Freital's armoured corps.

Over the past few days, another 2000 lb fuel air bomb was built. It's loaded onto the bomber which makes its fourth bombing run on Iseia. There are two fuel air bombs loaded on board the bomber. The two FABs would be dropped on Iseia's industry, each in a different part of the industrial sector of the city.

The Chekal get busy on the construction of mines and clearing more land so more buildings being set up to house the population. The military continues on their patrols while a border- a actual fence for said border -is being constructed. With all this land, some farms on the recently-designated outskirts are allowed to expand in their growth, in which they do continued to grow more crops. Fear of being dragged into a war or being attacked continues to steadily grow on the Chekal people, making the actions of any higher up question on constructing military weapons and renovating their industry into a military supplier, with vehicles and ammunition mass produced. Again, this is being questioned- the actual movement to do this seemed doubtful, but it was alternative in the case of anything getting out of hand.

In Dalmur, there is some concern raised over if defensive emplacements should be setup. Given the reports of bombing of New Iseia, this with the clause of their own defensive responsibility. After some debates, and a bit of wine left from The Vlk's visit. They made the decision to slap up some light defenses, Eight light AA guns would be planned. The intention to scatter them around the town for at least light coverage, given they lacked much production for the equipment. Similarly, the harbor would be partly locked down by the planned construction of concrete barrier walls, leaving only two main gates to the harbor. Outside of this though, there wasn't much they could do.

Thursday, 11:00
The soldiers woke up at 7:00. At 11:00 they were either at the firing ranges, or doing physical training in the form of group runs around the base or exercise in the communal areas. The napalm mostly killed administrative staff but it did kill some soldiers in the barracks or soldiers that happened to be standing where a bomb hit. Still, it wasn't as bad as it could've been. To mitigate further damage from bombing runs, some civilian contractors are put into observation teams. They would radio in the bomber's path. That way there would be some kind of early warning and manpower in the military wouldn't be stretched thin just trying to see where a bomber was coming from.
July 1st, 2532 Friday, 18:00
Aether Fighter-Bomber 2x: August 12, 2532 Vulgus 4x4 Utility vehicle 10x: May 30th, 2532 Canal: November 5th, 2532 Velite Light Tank: September 30th, 2532 Infantry company 4x: November 15th, 2532 8 CM anti aircraft guns x6: July 25th, 2532
The single Velite tank would be sitting on a earthen ramp to increase the vertical traverse capabilities of the gun. It was facing where Chevskograd was. It fired some new flak shells at the bomber when it became visible. Of course it wouldn't work that well, the gun not being designed for that. Plus the engagement window wasn't that great. But it was one of the few options available until the fighters were done. Machine guns in the city also fired in the sky in the hopes of getting some lucky hits.
This was of course assuming it arrived during the day. If the sound of engines were heard at night, the city would black out except for specific non vital areas.

Seeing that the city had been blacked out, the bomber decides not to drop its bombs, heading back to base. They won't be doing a night bombing again. Disappointed by this development, the bomber is ordered to fly again on July 3rd. This time it will also be equipped with several bombs containing leaflets.

Meanwhile, at the same exact time of the bombing...
The Chekal begin their efforts in travelling about the world as their society remains at peace, the civilian militia-esk defenders (as what their military looked a lot like some sort of civilian-based defense force) remained less tense on international politics or the future of their state's development. Despite the fact it was going to be nearing winter in a few months time, some Chekal civilians have been tempted enough to go farther out into the wild on Warskawa, edging closer towards the other civilizations within the center every few times. Of course, exploration with untrained individuals came at a cost- a few deaths occurred as their people stumbled and were caught off guard, but they weren't unfamiliar with such a lifestyle of danger.
Along with this, a message was sent to Chevskograd, asking for a trade pact with the Chekal from their colony of Nova Domus.

The Iseians hurried through the night to get some extra repairs done after the sound of the bomber faded. They also tried to salvage any equipment that was in buildings that got hit. Of course not everything could be salvaged. But every little bit helps.

Freital would continue its military buildup, completing its first Schildpanzer and its two other Leicht Späherpanzer MKII. The free production space would allow them to concentrate the full effort onto producing all four Leicht Späherpanzer MKIs, which would greatly reduce the production time on the second batch. The coastal artillery would come along slowly, being half-way done and the primary effort being into building the protective bunker for the guns.

Three crates would be dropped off at the entrance to a military base in Isea, inside the boxes would be 30 MK VI Jager sniper rifles, each rifle coming with 20 clips of the high velocity ammunition the rifles use.
Juli 15st, 2532 Sonnabend, 13:00
Officials in Pustitina would be growing agitated, hearing word of military build up in Freital. This along with the known war between Iseia and Chevskgrad leaves them more then worried on if current armament plans will be enough. Orders are posted for additional recruitment, along with officers nearly tripling standard training drills for existing troops. Reorganization of training in response to concerns would leave the first training drafts as almost nightmarish, however officers put word in with officials that the sudden ramp in training protocols will assist troops. While requests to start full out military expansion are denied, a plan is being set down on encouraging development of raw material industries in the region.

The Iseians approached the crate with some caution. But they realized it was a crate of weapons and not a booby trap. The weapons are taken and one is tested. Performance is satisfactory and some are distributed.

The bomber takes off, loaded with the same payload as before: 2 2000 lb fuel air bombs, 4 250 lb napalm bombs. Only this time it's also carrying several bombs filled with leaflets. It takes off and begins its 3.5 hour journey to Iseia.

The observation teams spot the bomber before it goes over the city. Some machine guns reposition and the tank takes position on one of the earthen ramps. It was loaded with flak rounds. When the bomber gets in range all the AA machine guns fire in the air space it occupied. The tank also gets a few shots off from the ramp. The shells were timed to explode at the altitude the bomber is at. They would send out shrapnel, so a direct hit wasn't needed.

The Chekal still await response from Chevskograd and keep themselves updated on the current events of what is occurring.
Meanwhile, the Chekal military is moved forward with the production and mass producing of combat vests for their soldiers- these vests were very alike to the ZAHAL vest, not the most protective of gear but it had it's uses. Other than the mass production of said gear, ammunition and weapons gets put into the factories to keep the military much more well equipped for a war. Resources continue on as before- the construction of the mines continues on as the Chekal drive to expand their territory northward.

The flak rounds send a bit of shrapnel into the bomber's fuselage, but only do negligible damage. Two of the napalm bombs are dropped towards where they figured the flak fire was coming from. They may or may not hit the tank. The bomber continues flying towards the city, increasing its altitude slightly to throw off the Iseians' aim.
Chevskograd responds to the Chekal, agreeing to the trade pact.

A napalm bomb misses completely, but another gets pretty close. Flames scorch the ramp and the front armour. The tank is basically undamaged though. The tank backs off and the crew use fire extinguishers to put out the flames on the front. Meanwhile the machine guns keep firing.
