CHAPTER FOUR

Vincent Archambault was in Hattington for further information, along with the MIA. The MIA finally acquired the body. Now, they could start the smearing.

"Okay. Have we acquired the name of the guy? Who is he?"

"His name is Merido Nekvillzo. The guy has a lot of criminal records. An entire binder dedicated to him. Now that is something."

"So we're going to erase all the information and records off the Malboryan systems, apparently. Then we're going to put the blame on Haane."

"Archambault's a mastermind, dude. No way this won't work."

"Yeah."

Archambault was waiting in the MIA headquarters with Director Mathena. He was also quite excited as he could finally start proceeding with the operation.

As all of the identity information got erased and replaced with a new Haanean one, Archambault grinned bigger. He could prove what Malborya was all about... or so he thought.

"It's done."

Deputy director's words woke him up from what it seemed like a small daydream.

"His new name is Markus Krog Mathiesen. He came from Eastern Haane two months ago. We even prepared some evidence that he was actively supporting Josephine Areai." Deputy director then handed Archambault the evidence. It was silent for around half a minute, but it felt like hours.

"Good. Very good."

Meanwhile, General Cato gathered a small group of soldiers for a secret emergency meeting. Majors, captains, colonels... Many soldiers from many ranks.

"Gentlemen, I am so glad all of you have gotten here. Archambault has gotten out of control. There is a big chance that he will destroy our army with his imperialist policies. There is no need for a total invasion of Eastern Haane. He has gone insane to the point where he doesn't see the harms of this operation. I'm afraid that we'll have to do the worst of the worst..."

To be continued...

CHAPTER THREE

General Augusta Cato picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"We need to talk."

General Cato immediately recognized that voice. It was the MIA Director, Mullier Mathena. They were quite close friends back in the day, but as they got into their jobs, they started to talk less and less.

"Ah, Mullier! I'm so stoked to hear your voice again. It's been months!"

"Yes."

Mathena was nervous... Really nervous. He was hoping to cut the call soon. He couldn't talk what he wanted on the phone.

"Ah... I assume it's an emergency situation? Okay... I'll pick you from the building in three hours."

Cato hung up the phone.

Three hours later, General Cato was right on time, waiting outside the door of the MIA headquarters. Mullier got into the car a while after.

"My friend, your sound was quite nervous and tinny on the phone. Are you threatened?"

"Sort of."

"Who is it?"

"Well... The Prime Minister."

"What?"

"I don't know! He's planning something. He is obsessed with taking over Haane."

"I didn't know that. I'm confused. What does he want?"

"So, that truck attack in Hattington. He wants me to help him mask it as a terror attack from Josephine Areai, even if it's not."

"And that way, he can justify a war with Haane."

"Exactly."

"Did you agree?"

"Well, I had to! How do you think I'm talking to you right now? I have to give him the body."

"Then we have to stop him before he does anything. That military is not his."

...

"I'll show him."

94 dead and hundreds injured in Hattington truck attack, lockdown issued

Governor of Victoria has issued a lockdown to the city until further notice.

(Libertate)

Along with the protests, the region of Victoria has been shaken yet again with a truck attack. A man, who has still not been identified, rode his truck into an anti-war rally in Southwest Hattington. Clear numbers have now been given for the first time: 94 dead, and at least 500 injured.

"I am sending thoughts and prayers to those who have died and those who are recovering." Perin Descera, the Victorian governor said in a press conference right after the attacks. "Prime Minister has advised me to issue a lockdown because of possible suspicions of terrorism. Therefore, the city of Hattington will be subject to lockdown until further notice. The police will enforce it and help those who are in need." Descera has also ensured that there will be no violence during the lockdown.

Vincent Archambault has also expressed his condolences for the terror attack. Investigations still continue.

CHAPTER TWO

Perin Descera did what Archambault asked, as she was also scared of what happened in the biggest city of the region she governed. She didn't know anything and was incredibly confused and horrified about the attack. She kept walking around her office because of stress, hoping that this lockdown would protect her citizens. But for Archambault, she was no use anymore. He could continue with his plan of justifying a war in Eastern Haane. After all, he wanted to paint a bigger picture for Malborya in the European Union than whatever Eusebiu did.

Archambault sent an e-mail to the director of MIA (Malboryan Investigation Agency) to establish a meeting with him, director, deputy director and Sebastiano. The MIA was also aware of the rather unusual lockdown, so they accepted the invitation to find out what is going on. Around six hours later, the four men sat on a conference room below the ground level. The director started the conversation with Archambault.

"Mr Archambault, we're glad to see you. We are aware of the situation and have already started an investigation. We may show you what we have so far, though it's still early."

"Thank you for your fine help, but I need you to do something else. I need to make sure that corpse is in the hands of the MIA."

The deputy director chimed in, rather confused.

"...The corpse of the perpetrator?"

"Yes. You and your director will acquire the body and we will erase its identity, adding a new one. To be more specific, a Haanean one. This is quite an important step to stop that infectious country that is Eastern Haane! As you know, I need justification."

The director couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he also didn't have a choice but to accept. He knew that Archambault had surrounded himself with boxes of guns, ready to be fired at him if anything went the opposite of his way. He couldn't believe his country was not considered a dictatorship yet. Archambault continued.

"I know how to put some nils on your pockets. You do not want to miss the chance. Time's running out... You better make it quick."

Archambault left the room with Sebastiano, who was rather silent during the whole session. For Archambault, everything was slowly going into place. He could not wait, but he had to. But he also had to make it quick before the Republic liberated the whole country, which would ruin his chances.

CHAPTER ONE

Vincent Archambault was confident that he wanted to invade Eastern Haane. He had many ideas for it and wanted to make sure everything aligned. Everything was ready, except... an excuse. Archambault needed a good reason to attack Haane, and he knew it. Television was playing in the background like white noise as Archambault kept thinking about how he could make it perfect.

When television was playing ads, it abruptly stopped and switched to breaking news to show the recent news in Hattington, Victoria. A truck has driven over an anti-war protest. Foreign Minister Nicode Sebastiano burst through the door to tell the news, but it was not needed. The channel was live from the city, showing absolute devastation. Sebastiano was quite surprised but unexpectedly happy.

"This is our chance."

Archambault knew exactly what to do. He called the Governor of Victoria, Perin Descera. She picked it up, quite excited that Archambault called her.

"Hello, dear Prime Minister! How's it going in Malbory?"

"Thank you, Descera. I was wondering if you could do me a favour..."

"Well, what is it?"

"Put a lockdown and a curfew on the city of Hattington. I have suspicions that this is a terror attack and it could damage more Victorians. Use the entire Victorian force if necessary."

"Ah... Okay."

"Also, very, very important: When you have the body of the perpetrator, call me immediately. We'll transform it into a morgue with higher security. He was dead, correct?"

"...Yes. I'll inform you about it."

"Thank you, Descera."

Archambault hung up the phone.

BREAKING: TRUCK DRIVES THROUGH AN ANTI-WAR RALLY IN HATTINGTON, NUMBERS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN

The perpetrator was killed shortly after.

(The Malboryan Journal)

A truck, whose identity of the owner is unknown, for now, has ridden over an anti-war rally in Southeast Hattington at 4:44 pm. It is reported that the driver was killed by what it seemed like an armed protester. An investigation has started by the Malboryan police and the Malboryan Intelligence Agency. More information will follow. It is expected for Archambault to do a statement on the attack.

Protests spark all across Malborya from all sides regarding the Haanean Civil War

The conflict creates quite a lot of polarization.

(Mainecras)

As Archambault prepares more and more for a Malboryan invasion (or liberation, depending on which side you stand on) of Eastern Haane, the streets get filled with more and more people. After Archambault's tweet and the governmental statement from Malbory City, everyone took it to the streets to show their support or their despisement. In just 12 hours, protests and rallies about Eastern Haane were seen in all eleven regions.

Malbory is now more militarized than ever before, challenging the days of Drava Centreo. It is also where the most intense clashes are. The governor, Luka Merdena, issued a lockdown which meant all roads to Malbory were closed. No one could leave or come in. Thousands, with some news sources claiming as much as half a million, were out in the streets to either show solidarity with Archambault or boycott him, with some calling for a total demilitarization. The hashtags #DemilitarizeMalborya and #HandsOffHaane were trending, as well as #AllHandsOnHaane, which is the opposite of #HandsOffHaane. The police do not hesitate to use tear gas, with some even reporting sounds of bullets. According to the citizens of Montaigne, both sides are vulnerable to equal violence, citing the police's only purpose is to shoo off the protesters.

Vasilica Da Anna is another hotspot for the protests, as well as other cities in the region of Rosetta. In Aruvail, considered the most conservative city of Rosetta, a lynch campaign has been reported against people supporting demilitarization. Similar reports have also been filed in Lachte and Klocke-Yoyl. In Laedafas, a man in his 30s has died to a bullet from an unknown source while watching the protests from his window.

Dozens are getting arrested all around the country, with Malbory police arresting around 1,500 alone. In Hattington, the largest city in Victoria, possibly has the most violent protests in Malborya right now. The police cars have been set on fire, one of which had two officers inside, killing both. The police department building has also been set on fire, with all exits closed to ensure a painful death inside, which possibly resulted in over 30 dead. Elduvy possibly had the most peaceful protests out of any other region, though the violence has escalated there as well.

The protests are getting bigger and the streets are getting louder. Everybody is wondering what Archambault will have to say...

Opinion: The conflict in Eastern Haane may destroy the safe image of Malborya

The conflict paints an unstable picture for the region.

(Mainecras)

The lands of Eastern Haane are truly the worst place to live in these days. The country is in a constant state of chaos with various factions controlling portions of the country. Anarchy has taken the place of the government as mobs are burning down the Haanean lands. And all this negatively affects the Malboryan tourism industry. Three days ago, The Malboryan Government called the government of Josephine Areai "illegitimate and terror-fed" and put the government on its terrorist watch-list. This lead to tensions rising inside Malborya, with many Malboryans fearing an unexpected terrorist attack from Areai, and although this is far from likely, this doesn't relax the Malboryans, nor tourists coming from all over European Union.

Under the administration of Vincent Archambault, Malborya is more militarized than ever before. It's defence spending percentage jumped from 3,5% to almost 10%. In just four months, the Arms Manufacturing industry increased by 1600%. While former Prime Minister Luca Eusebiu decided to play a rather passive role in the world scene, it seems like Archambault wants to turn tables around. He takes all the steps to make Malborya a strong influencer in the region. And Malborya's unexpected aggressive stance on Haanean Civil War is certainly a part of that. However, this comes with a price. Malborya, a country that seemingly kept its sanity and was deemed "safe", between communist-revolted Czech Slavia, dense and conflicted Inquista and authoritarian Red Croatia, may not have this image anymore. Archambault seems to be very eager to unleash Malboryan troops into the territory of Eastern Haane and not everyone agrees with him. Many citizens would rather stay neutral to the conflict. After all, Eastern Haane doesn't even border Malborya, contrary to Archambault's tweet.

The stubborn attitude of Vincent Archambault may result in conflicts, protests and riots all around Malborya. He is walking on thin ice. His rather reckless actions will probably make the near future the most intense years of Malboryan politics, and maybe history.

PUBLIC GOVERNMENTAL STATEMENT - 7th of September, 2020

Malbory City, The Malboryan Republic

This is a public governmental statement transmitted at the request of The Malboryan Government.

The Malboryan Republic is watching the happenings of Eastern Haane with shock, horror and disgust. The Republic stands with the people of Eastern Haane and we are deeply sorry for the catastrophic loss of life in the country.

All travel to Eastern Haane is indefinitely suspended for the safety of Malboryan citizens. The Malboryan Republic strongly recommends all Malboryans currently in Eastern Haane to come back to Malborya as soon as possible. The Malboryan Republic is currently collaborating with The Most Blessed State of Inquista to ensure safe transit of Haanean refugees to Inquista via their Communist Refugee Program.

The Malboryan Republic does not recognize the illegitimate government of Josephine Areai and puts it on its terrorist watch-list. This terror-fed government is an enemy of The Republic and will be treated as such. Should any attack from Areai and her yes men against The Malboryan Republic happen, The Republic will not hesitate to use its military for the complete liberation of Eastern Haane.

Capital punishment in Malborya

Taken from The Malboryan Republic Wiki.

Capital punishment in Malborya was last abolished after the fall of the Democratic State of Malborya in 1977. Even under the authoritarian rule of Drava Centreo, many death sentences given by lower courts were turned down by higher courts, mostly Courta Suprema. According to the governmental records at the time, only 210 people were executed under Centreo's regime, though the numbers remain unclear due to the secrecy of these statistics at the time. However, most human rights organizations in Malborya argue that over 1200 people were executed under the regime, both directly and indirectly.

Before the Democratic State, capital punishment was abolished in 1930, after a 14-year moratorium on death penalties issued by Parlamenta at the time.

The Malboryan Realm (1775-1879)

Burning was the most common method of the death penalty in The Malboryan Realm. During this period, many crimes could be punishable by death, which are: witchcraft; murder; stealing valuable goods; political dissidence; corruption; rape; treason; espionage; arson; attempting a death-eligible crime; rebellion; conspiracy to seize power; desertion; illegal border crossing; heavily injuring a human; kidnapping; burning the symbols of the Realm; disrupting industry and/or trade; making fun of the King or Queen and their royal family and general crimes against the Realm. In 2014, a written book from the 17th century was found near Victoria-Rosetta border, which claims that in 18th of August 1829, 1279 people were executed on a single day for the crimes of terrorism. Even the royal family wasn't safe from execution, as Prince Convello was executed in 1789 for corruption at the age of 29.

First Malboryan Republic (1879-1906) and Second Malboryan Republic (1906-1945)

In the First Malboryan Republic, hanging was the preferred method of execution instead of burning. The Concillera Dicernea outright banned burning as an execution method in 1881. The number of crimes punishable by the death penalty was also drastically reduced around this time, with many death sentences getting turned down by the Courta Suprema.

The Second Malboryan Republic was the first Malboryan state to outright abolish the death penalty in 1930, though there was an unofficial moratorium on capital punishment since 1914.

Democratic State of Malborya (1945-1977)

Though it was common to get death sentences under the Democratic State, it was seldom to see actual death sentences. However, the exact numbers on how many people were executed under Centreo are unknown. There was no clear law on which crimes could receive capital punishment, and it is alleged that people who have shown the slightest bit of political dissidence were secretly executed. However, none of this can be proven because of the Parlamenta, along with all the documents of the regime being destroyed in 1976 during the Inquistan invasion. In a series of recovered documents from 1969 which was found in a tax office in Lachte (then Mureacana) revealed that a woman (whose details were expunged) was burned to death, even though it was still a banned method of execution at that time. The reason for the given sentence was labelled as "domestic terrorism".

Third and Fourth Malboryan Republic (1977-present)

After the Inquistan invasion in 1977, capital punishment was abolished for all crimes, and all prisoners on the death row got their death sentences turned into life sentences. In 1989, the debate of bringing back capital punishment arose, destroying the one-party system at the time, creating Malborya First Party and Alternative For Malborya. However, as Malborya built better relations with the European Union at the start of the 21st century, the support for the death penalty diminished, even from the supporters of the MFP. After Malborya joined the European Union in 2019, prime minister Luca Eusebiu told MBOTV that capital punishment was "off the table forever for Malborya".
