- - - The Situation Room, George House, Polaris - 03:00 hours Mathornian Standard Time (MST) - - -
President Zoe Sharp looked knackered, she had been woken up in the middle of the night by an aide, who had said that the Chief of the General Staff, Ricky Blaze, the most senior non-civilian military commander, wanted to provide an urgent update regarding a situation in the 
Greater Newmerican States. A meeting was hastily set up the Situation Room, located in a secure bunker underneath George House. The Siltation Room is for the use of the President to monitor and deal with crises at home and abroad and to conduct secure communications with outside (often overseas) persons. The Situation Room has secure, advanced communications equipment for the president to maintain command and control of 
Mathornian forces around the world.
Despite her high-tech surroundings, the President looked, understandably, like she wanted to be in bed.
"Ricky, what is so important that I have to be woken?", she asked the man who was appearing via a video link on one of the screens.
"Madam President, Zoe, the long of short of it is that Greater Newmerican States is now descending into a Civil War. Overnight, R.F. Bases on ths island of Hawaii have come under attack by forces aligned to the Patriot Vanguards, forces backed by Nancy Jones. Their assault is concentrating on the Pōhakuloa Training Area, where the majority of our our forces based in the Greater Newmerican States are. We have 15,000 soldiers and 50 combat aircraft stationed at the base. The commander of the base, R.F. Army Commander, Lt. Col. Timothy Johnson has requested our help in defending the base, and by extension the Republican Federation".
"I promised President Beaumont military support, and I shall follow through with my promises. I grant permission to the Mathornian military to engage enemies of the Republican Federation in support of President Beaumont. You are cleared to engage, and I will inform Congressional leaders tomorrow morning", came the response from President Sharp.
However, the Chief of the General Staff, was not finished; "Thank you Madam President, however, I want greater authority than this. I want to use all resources in theatre and take control of the skies over Greater Newmerican States in order to conduct airstrikes on forces aligned with the Patriot Vanugard and Socialist Union rebel groups. Do I have your athorisation, as the commander-in-chief?"
President Sharp responded unequivocally: "Ricky, you have my permission to conduct any and all offensive operations in support of the Republican Federation. I want you to get in touch with President Beaumont, get him to a secure location and set up a joint command to help coordinate our military actions. I want this Civil War over, and over fast. And I want the democratically elected government re-installed".
- - - Pōhakuloa Training Area - 03:30 hours MST - - -
A heavy firefight was taking place at the front gate of the Pōhakuloa Training Area, where soldiers aligned to the Republican Federation were under attack by Patriot Vanguard aligned forces. The R.F. soldiers were pinned down, under heavy bombardment. Several heavily armoured vehicles were advancing down the main road to the base, machine-gunning anyone and anything who dared try and stop them. A platoon was defending the main gate of the base, however, one of the vehicles was now mere meters away from breaking through the front gate.
"Sh***, sir. We've got to retreat! We can't hold off for much longer,. Over.", the platoon's commander radioed into HQ. "Delta One-Four, Negative", came the response, "Command advises you to get into cover immediately. Over."
Before the platoon commander could response, a roar of several fighter jets flying in the skies overhead could be heard. Although the R.F. soldiers could not see them, the armoured column advancing towards the base quickly came under attack. Laser-guided bombs launched from F-35 Lightning II B Stealth Carrier Based Multirole Fighters quickly destroyed the armoured column, which was set ablaze with many vehicles being destroyed or damaged. The remaining P.V. forces turned on their tails and bid a hasty retreat.
A voice crackled over the radio; "This is Flight Commander Luke Browning, from the Mathornian Aircraft Carrier Strike Group. We heard you guys could use a hand".
The R.F. Soldiers cheered loudly, and advanced forward, and as they did so they heard the distinctive mechanical sound of the front gate of the base opening behind them. As they glanced backwards, they saw an armoured column driving down the road, consisting of APC's, Jeeps, and Cougars MRAP's. The lead vehicle bore a flag. The flag was a White and Blue Bear, unmistakably the flag of The United Provinces of Mathorn.

Statement Regarding Newmerican government & Hawaiian Theater
The Union of Savashanist Socialist Republic reject the illegitimate government of the Jones junta demand of our battle group to “vacate” the EEZ of the Hawaiian archipelago, in our efforts to identify and retrieve around 1,000 of our and IUSN citizens, some of which are believed to be held hostage by the Patriot Vanguards affiliated forces.
The Saianese government cautions the United Provinces, and any other forces within the Hawaiian theater that interfering with our IUSN civilian evacuation process will result in an immediate retaliatory reaction in the defense of IUSN civilians housed within the ships that comprised our battlegroup. The Saianese Savashanist government reserve the right to additionally support our ongoing security efforts.
The USSR additionally request one of our most trusted allies, 
The Socialist Republic of Norcria to assist us in our efforts to retrieve all IUSN nationals from the Hawaiian islands.
-Zhuang Li Changying, Union of Savashanist Socialist Republic Secretary of Foreign Affairs
IMPERIAL DEFENCE MINISTRY STATEMENT
- The Celestial Empire strongly condemns the unilateral and unwarranted declaration of a Total Exclusion Zone by the Mathornian Military around the Hawaiian Islands this is a blatant violation of international norms and an affront to the sovereignty of nations.
The Celestial Empire categorically rejects and condemns this illegitimate move by The United Provinces of Mathorn, which, under the guise of supporting an ousted government, has overstepped all bounds of decency and international law. No nation has the right to impose such restrictions on another sovereign state.
The Mathornian authorities have no authority, moral or legal, to dictate the movements of our Imperial Fleet. Their contrived arrogance, attempting to restrict our naval operations, is an affront to the principles of international law and diplomacy.
Let it be unequivocally clear that the Celestial Empire will not bow to Mathorn's whims. Our Imperial Fleet will proceed with its planned mission to Newmerica, and no contrived exclusion zone will impede our course.
If Mathorn dares to fire upon our vessels, they will find themselves sinking to the depths of the ocean, we will not tolerate such brazen acts of hostility. Our fleet sails in defense of a legitimate government, and no illegitimate blockade will hinder our commitment to our allies.
We call upon the international community to condemn this reckless action by Mathorn. Such displays of aggression undermine the very principles upon which our modern world rests. The Celestial Empire stands united against this flagrant breach of international law, and we will not be deterred from our mission to support the legitimate government of Newmerica.
- Chief Military Spokesman Zhao Lijian
A large crowd of belligerent Newmerican citizens are seen outside the gates of the Michellaen embassy. They fly banners with crude slogans of “F*** THE ROYALIST PIGS!” and “MICHELLAE SHOULD BE BACKING US! GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE!”. Several small objects are lobbed at DRSS (Direction Royal des Services Spéciaux) Embassy security who fall back in order towards the main house, as members of the crowd jump on to the gate to the embassy, the situation begins to deteriorate.. The Michellaen Ambassador, the comte de Vimeur and his staff are seen being escorted to armoured Peugeot limousines, one by one they begin to move towards the gate with haste. The stationed DRSS officers with riot shields and batons begin to push through the gates, opening them with members of the crowd still clutching to the side, they create a path for the convoy which speeds off towards the airport.
The Michellaen Embassy in Newmerica has been abandoned.
Conseil d’en Haut :: Foreign Ministry - Statement
In light of the reaction by the Junta of the Greater Newmerican States which holds no claim to legitimacy beyond strength of arms, the Michellaen government is left without any recourse other than to request the immediate evacutation of the Newmerican Embassy at Versailles. Formal diplomatic relations have officially ceased. Furthermore this government will hereby place sanctions on the Greater Newmerican States whilst maintaining a moderate fleet under Amiral Herbert Dreneau in international waters near the edge of Newmerican waters to ensure that our evacuating economic assets make it safely home.
This is a situation most regrettable,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Monsieur Paul Gabriel Direque, Comte de Mirabeau
- - - RP Action - - -
As heavy fighting continues in the Greater Newmerican States, the Imperial Fleet continues towards the TEZ. As it does so, it will be buzzed by Mathornian fighter jets and other naval aircraft. Two Virginia Class Attack Submarines, running in stealth mode, are also assigned to shadow the Imperial Fleet.
As soon as it reaches the edge of the TEZ line, a squadron of 18 F-35 Fighter Jets intercept the Imperial Fleet. The initially fly low, passing directly over the Imperial Fleet before climbing. One F-35 dives towards the ocean fires its gatling gun into the water approximately 100 meters in front of the lead ship, before pulling up. Another F-35 fires a AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missile at the Breen task force, it explodes in front of the lead ship, again far enough ahead of the ship without damaging it. They are clearly warning shots.
The following final warning will be issued via radio; "If you continue, you will be in contravention of the Total Exclusion Zone and will, I repeat, will be fired upon. We urge you to turn back now".

Battle in the Pacific - January 9th, 2024
- The Imperial Fleet sailed confidently through the Pacific waters, the mighty Liaoning and Shandong at the heart of the formation, flanked by an array of destroyers and frigates. The sky was clear, and the sea, tranquil. Admiral Liu Zhibin stood on the command deck of the Liaoning, eyes scanning the horizon. The mission to support Newmerica had just begun.
Suddenly, the tranquility shattered. The calm ocean turned tumultuous as streaks of missiles hurtled toward the fleet. The shrill alarms echoed through the carrier, and sailors rushed to their battle stations. Admiral Liu gripped the railing, barking orders into the chaos.
"Launch countermeasures! Brace for impact!" he shouted.
Explosions blossomed in the sky as the CIWS systems on every ship roared to life, trying to intercept the incoming missiles. The air was thick with smoke, and the ocean shook with the thunderous roar of anti-aircraft guns.
"Admiral, multiple inbound torpedoes!" the sonar operator yelled.
Admiral Liu's eyes widened. "Hard to starboard! Full power to engines!"
The fleet maneuvered violently, the Shandong veering sharply, narrowly avoiding one torpedo, but the other slammed into its side. The carrier shuddered as water rushed into the breached compartments.
"Damage report!" Liu demanded.
"Sir, flooding in sections C and D. We've lost propulsion in the aft!" the damage control officer replied.
Admiral Liu gritted his teeth. "Transfer command to the Shandong. Recall the Liaoning and five escort ships. I want a damage assessment immediately."
As the battle subsided, Liu moved to the Shandong. On the bridge, he surveyed the situation, his eyes weary but determined.
"Admiral, most of the Mathornian planes were shot down. Pilots in custody," the communication officer reported.
Liu nodded, acknowledging the victory. "Send a message to Yin. Let them know what happened"
The Liaoning sailed on, scarred but undefeated, as the Liaoning limped back home, a testament of what was surely to come.
Nationalist Rallies sweep the Empire - January 10th, 2024
- In an unprecedented show of unity and patriotism, tens of millions of citizens flooded the streets of major cities across the Celestial Empire, turning the urban landscape into seas of blue. The rallies were a resounding display of support for the nation and its military in the wake of the recent conflict with Mathorn.
The atmosphere was electric as people waved flags, banners, and signs bearing patriotic slogans. The sentiment echoed through the crowd, united in their commitment to stand against any external threat to the Empire. Grand Marshal Zhu Mingli, flanked by Chancellor Lee Jae-myung and opposition leaders, took the stage in Yin to deafening cheers from the immense crowd.
Zhu Mingli, a towering figure in military and political circles, addressed the masses with a voice that resonated through the city. "The Celestial Empire will expel Mathornian influence from the Pacific, and we will send more ships to support our allies in Newmerica!" His words were met with roars of approval, and the crowd surged with fervor.
Similar scenes unfolded in Korea and Japan, where citizens rallied in support of their respective Emperors. Chants of "Death to Mathorn!" reverberated through the air, reflecting the deep-seated anger and determination to defend the sovereignty of the Celestial Empire.
Despite the immense size of the gatherings, reports indicated a minimal police presence, with law enforcement adopting a hands-off approach to the peaceful demonstrations. The only reported clash occurred when police intervened to prevent a mob from storming the Mathornian Embassy.
The rallies, unprecedented in scale, underscored a rare moment of solidarity among citizens, transcending political divides.

Official Statement on the Newmerican Crisis, Maui Island
The Republican Federation authority hopes that the The Royaume of Michellae rescind their order on forcing our Newmerican embassy closure in response to the Patriot Vanguards baseless and unauthorized closure demand on the Michellaen Embassy. We fear the immediate impact of our unionist federal employees from abroad may be forced to be detained by the Jones Junta (PV) affiliated forces on their arrival home.
Us Newmericans have always and will always stood by peace faring nations that support our democracy, and global peace. Therefore, wherever our great Republic flag is flown, we shall grant and uphold the international humanitarian laws agreed upon by every nation in the International Union where it’s applicable.
That includes major international humanitarian organizations such as the Saianese Red Crystal, Mathornian Red Cross, and the Humanitarian Agency of the Catholic Church (
Rome and Bologna). All humanitarian workers will be given immunity and any accommodation will be provided in Republican Federation controlled zones.
Furthermore, the Republican Federation has declared a State of Conflict against the The Celestial Empire of Breen for their assault against our ally, the United Provinces and direct military support to the illegitimate Jones government. Martial law has been officially declared and Unionist citizens are advised to seek refuge in R.F.-U.P. Controlled zones, and resist against the Patriot Vanguards. May god bless Newmerica.
