Operation Heartpounding

DAY 2 Continuation:
1600h Eastern Haane Time
Republican Assistance BaseWinston had just returned from rest to continue to helping with other volunteers to distribute goods. A woman approached her and talked to him.
"Attorney Winston! I have always been your greatest supporter!" said the woman
"I'd like to talk to you!" she continued
Then, Winston let her come closer and then, a few moments passed and the woman seemed suspicious to one of the troops. The soldier tried to cut the conversation but then the woman swung a hammer that would've hit Winston right at the head but the soldier was hit. Ten other troops noticed what happened and Winston ran for his life. The troops neutralized the woman and got the hammer from her hand after a few wrestles. The woman was brought to a military truck to prevent her from doing anything else. The wounded troop was brought to a medical tent to be treated.
"What should we do with this woman?" said a soldier.
"I don't know, we need HQ to decide on what to do with these types of idiots." said another soldier.
Capital Deployment Base
Gen. Renwalt is very frustrated at what the guerilla forces did. But he didn't want the international community to think that they are trying to colonize Eastern Haane. So, he insisted that the guerillas shouldn't be obliterated.

DAY 3:
Oct 2 2020
0400h Eastern Haane Time
Capital Deployment BaseEarly in the morning, troops arrive again before the NFZ will be enforced, Bloodhound fighter jets roam around the skies at all times to ensure everything is secure and Reitzmag will have total control over the situation. The council needs to decide quickly so that Reitzmag can prepare the sites where bases for the coalition may be established. The runway of the airport is finally repaired and Antonov cargo aircraft may deliver cargo once again. The airfield is heavily secured with tanks, artillery, and more than a thousand personnel. ISTAR squadrons roam throughout the skies to intercept foreign fighter jets. Eastern Haane is becoming a Reitzmic Stronghold. Only ICBMs and Strategic Bombers are not present in the area. Everything was heavily patrolled, thousands of men are scattered in Kiel to patrol and make sure there were no guerilla forces trying to kill the team. More buildings are cleared and the government buildings were secured. The treasury was found and lots of paper money with no value were found. It was to be turned over to the EU after a decision was made by HQ. Nothing suspicious was happening...yet.

DAY 3 Continuation:
1000h Eastern Haane Time
GCHQ"Sir, MI6 has identified where the rebels went." said Larry
"Very good, send the info to Gen. Renwalt. It would be up to his decision what to do." said Gen. Smith.
Capital Deployment Base
"So they fled to Flensburg and made a base there, well to prevent misunderstanding we will send troops to Flensburg via chopper but we need to confirm such activity. Very well, send 2 AWACS and 3 Recon Drones to Flensburg to confirm if the activity is positive." said Gen. Renwalt.
30 minutes later, the AWACS and Recon Drons arrive at Flensburg to search the area for guerilla activity.
"Sir, the AWACS and Drones have confirmed that guerilla activity is positive in the area." said an aide
"We need to monitor if anyone will do anything bad at these guerillas. For now, send 5 Transport Choppers with personnel at the area carrying goods. We have to show them that we are here to help." said Gen. Renwalt
1228h
Kiel AirfieldFive Sea Dragons loaded with troops and goods take off on their way to Flensburg. There are escorts of 20 Attack Helicopters to ensure that the mission will be safe.
1400h
Flensburg Extraction PointThe five Sea Dragon helicopters arrive at the area together with their escorts. Goods are then dropped at the base of the guerillas composing of rice, canned goods, clothes, and water.
The helicopters then returned back to base.

DAY 3 Continuation:
1500h Eastern Haane Time
Northern Coast of Eastern HaaneAbout 150 Reitzmic Infantry Groups of 5 personnel have been patrolling the entire coastline day and night. They are waiting for the watercrafts to be delivered by the airlift squadrons. Then, a few moments later, the helicopters arrive bringing about 5 small patrol boats for the Army to use while the Navy is still on the way to their posts. The Army then start to use the boats and inspect the lake for any unusual activity within the area. Nothing had yet happened, until...
"HQ, this is lake patrol 4, we've detected unusual activity. A boat is approaching the coast." said the group leader on the radio.
Each of the boats are equipped with high-frequency radars to easily detect incoming ships/vessels.
"LP4, intercept the craft. We will send Recon Drones to look for the detected vessel. After confirmation, we will send ASW helicopters to intercept the vessel with your team. More patrol boats will arrive soon." said an officer.
Recon Drones were sent to the action to confirm the activity. After 30 minutes of surveillance, the activity was confirmed. The drones return to base and the ASW helicopters take off with troops to intercept the vessel. Then, the other patrol boat follow and intercept the boat. LP2 Leader Mike Pendragon approached the suspicious boat.
"Greeting, we are the Reitzmic Armed Forces. This area is under our intense surveillance. Please return to your port of origin, this area is not safe." said Mike.
Meanwhile on the coast, 5 more patrol boats arrive from HQ after delivery. The remaining troops ride the patrol boats to continue with their surveillance and patrol missions. The Royal Marines are expected to arrive the next day. So, they have to do the job for the moment.
GCHQ
"Sir, our Lake Patrol Teams are currently intercepting a suspicious vessel on the lake. They are still asking for details on where the boat came from." said Larry.
"Good, maybe the 'Big Four' sent these peeps to supply the guerillas with weapons. We still won't follow the NFZ they will establish, they won't detect our activity immediately." said Simon.

DAY 4:
Oct 3 2020
Republican Assistance Base"Fire! We have fire on the refugee housing!" shouted a troop.
The fire was put out, some soldiers suffocated and are in critical condition. The refugees burned the temporary housing given to them. All the work and effort the Reitzmics made to show the Haaneans the care they want to give them was destroyed. 5 soldiers died in the incident and 28 are in critical condition. The refugees did not want aid to be with them. As the fire was put out, no dead body was found inside the burnt tents. Hence, a decision was made.
"RAB, this is HQ, we have contacted Brewnest and they are going to decide whether we will be pulled out."
GCHQ Doughnut
"What?! They burnt the aid we gave them?!" furiously said Simon Bridges.
"Yes sir, the refugees escaped and tried to burn our base." confirmed Larry.
"It s either we get them out of the area or what. Gen. Smith told me that politics has a potential effect on the Haaneans' treatment to us. Probably they know our stance when it comes to Communists. Maybe we should leave them alone. Tell the HoR to begin a vote whether we should leave the Haaneans. Larry, establish a communication with the Fremetians, Vardic, Spanish, and Inquistans." commanded Simon.
"Yes sir." sad Larry
The communication was set up and the response to the call is left.
0700h
House of Representatives"The ayes to the right, 436. The noes to the left, 274." said the clerk.
"So the ayes have it, order, order!" said Speaker John Bercow.
"Unlock!" commanded the speaker to unlock the doors as the voting is finally over.
GCHQ Doughnut
"Sir, they decided to pull out our forces." said Larry.
"Well then, have they already answered?" asked Simon.
"Not yet sir, but we're trying our best to communicate with Inquista's Heathers network, and the said Big Four." said Larry
-
GCHQ Doughnut
"Sir, the Vardics aren't responding." said Larry.
"Call their ambassador, we have no choice but to do such." said Simon.
"Right away sir!" replied Larry
The Vardic Ambassador to Reitzmag was called and invited to meet the PM in the Doughnut.
-
Ambassador Edvard Winther most certainly knew what this summons was over. It was to be over the Four Powers' No-Fly Zone, and their intention to strictly enforce it. He was sure that the Archkonsul was intentionally avoiding to pick up the 'phone' so to speak as to make a statement.
Winther was briefed in the days prior that he, along with the other ambassadors from the Four Powers were allowed to negotiate to some extent on the NFZ, at least to the point of coordinating its enforcement with those who wished to enter its air space. Winther one could say drew the short straw in this conversation.
After being debriefed by the Reitzmic officials who brought him to 'the Doughnut', the Ambassador was lead to the Prime Minister and greeted him respectfully.
-
1000h Local Time
GCHQ Doughnut"Ah, Mr. Winther. Great to see you again. I called you for this important message you need to send to Mr. Nylund." said Simon.
"This is about the NFZ. We'll begin the discussion after we have gathered a stable connection with the Fremetians, Spanish, and Inqustans." he continued.

Palacio de la Moncloa - Edificio Vicepresidencia
Madrid - España
1006 CESTSoraya received a Videocall and thought about if sending it to Villaroya or just picking it herself. He thought on who would act harder onto the enforcement of the no-fly zone, and at first, thought on Miguel, the Jefe de Estado Mayor de la Defensa. He was going to press the "Rota Naval Station" button to divert the call, but she thought on Villaroya's way of solving things... Shouting.
So she decided to pick the call herself. She was also centre-right oriented, but harder than the Spanish President when on peace times. He entered the videocall at the end.
"Good morning sirs." Said the Acting Spanish President.
-
"Yoohooo..... anyone there?" --static-- "Christ, I never knew broadband speeds were that poor in Reitzmag. Yes? Helloooooo? Ah! Oh, Simon. Morning to you. I hope you're enjoying your free flights in Eastern Haane while they---- oh, apologies. Should not have said that.
"Anyway, you wanted me to link in? Come to offer terms of surr-- I mean, come to discuss what's what? Oh, hello Soraya! You look radiant, as always. Very good to see you."
-
GCHQ Doughnut
"Sir, the Spanish are now also connected. We're just waiting for the Inquistans and Fremetians." said Larry.
"Good, let me talk to them for a while." said Simon.
Then Simon showed on the videocall with Soraya.
"Gfeetings Ms. Soraya. Before anything else, how's Mr. Aguilar? Is he fine?" said Simon.
Then after Soraya answered the question and a bit of some discussion.
"So, we'll proceed with the meeting when we receive a proper connection with the Fremetians and the Inquistans." said Simon.
"You can go on and do other things while we wait Ms. Soraya." he continued.
-
"As far as I know, he is doing really fine, but he doesn't sleep too much." Soraya laughed a bit and then went on: "He is coming back to the Presidency on October 8th, so we'll have him back in 5 days." Soraya said.
She looked at the screen and saw Artabanos too: "Oh Emperor Artabanos, hello! Thanks for the compliment, you look amazing today Mr. Artabanos. I hope you are doing great too." Said Soraya before waiting for Simon to talk.
-
Simon was surprised that Artie got connected.
"Larry! how the f_ck did Baldi get connected?!" he shouted while the mic is muted.
"Umm, sir let me check what happened. I think there is a technical issue." said Larry.
Then Larry went into the communications management room.
"What the hell happened, what's wrong with the communications?" said Larry angrily.
"Sir, there was a technical problem and the signal was diverted to Inimicus instead of Inquista." said one of the employees.
"You better fix that at once." said Larry.
"Yes sir, Sorry for what happened." said the employee.
Larry walked back into the room.
"Sir, they said there was a technical problem. They are rediverting the connection back to Inquista," said Larry.
"Ok then, that was why we didn't receive a connection from the Inquistans." said Simon.
He then turned to the videocall.
"Sorry Mr. Artabanos for the interruption." said Simon and the connection with the Inimicians were cut.

DAY 4:
Oct 4 2020
0500h Eastern Haane Time
Capital Deployment ZoneThe troops are ready to pack up after the decision was made. The troops are saddened that the mission wasn't accomplished until...
"Listen up everyone!" shouted Gen. Renwalt
The troops gather up as they continue to pack up.
"Ok, now has everyone heard the news?" asked Peter
There was no response and everyone except Peter knew what happened.
"Well it seems no one knows. As you know, we are all leaving. But last night, an ultimatum was sent by the Haaneans demanding us to leave. We are mission accomplished everyone!" said Peter
"Areai is dead! The Haaneans are coming back. We have successfully defeated that idiot." said Peter.
Everyone was joyous. The return to home would take about 5 days, 6 days if it would require passing through Vayinaod. The soldiers hug and some were a bit emotional. It was a successful mission. Everyone continued to pack up happily. The frowns on their faces were replaced with happiness.
GCHQ Doughnut
"We did it! They're returning. I need to send an announcement about what we do. Then, I will send a communique to the Vardics. They should not intercept our aircraft as we leave. Then, we will also ask permission from them to not intercept us as we drop supplies/goods to the Haaneans returning to Kiel." said Simon with joy.
Everyone in GCHQ is very happy. The entire country celebrated the victory of HM Armed Forces. Simon made the announcement in the Official Gazette before proceeding with the commuiques.

Saint Dominico, Inquista
Archbishop's PalaceArchbishop Mikaela Kligenberg leaned back in her chair and sipped on a mimosa. The Archbishop let out a relaxing sigh after taking a sip from her drink, while a Czech refugee worked on her pedicure. The Archbishop let out a soft giggle as the pedicurist massaged her foot, giving way to a somewhat ticklish sensation.
An esthetician then entered the room and placed a warm cloth over the Archbishop's face, and began to massage her scalp. Suddenly, the Archbishop's phone went off.
"Eliška, what does it say?" the Archbishop questioned from underneath her warm towel. The esthetician then checked the Archbishop's phone, which was lying on a nearby counter.
"It's says HEATHER," the esthetician answered.
"Oh, ignore that. Can't bee too important." Archbishop Kligenberg sighed. The esthetician then resumed working on the Archbishop's scalp massage.
