Operation Heartpounding
-
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.

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."

"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.

"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.
