Hello all
I today announce the Official Declaration of War against the Rutanian Reich.
We the Kundrati Union and the Dundorf Demokratische Republik have joined Arms as a Coalition against the Expansionism of the Reich.
This event that has been triggered off by the recent elections in the Reich, recently the Pro-Democratic party the National Radical Union had won the election to lead the country, however the Kaiser disliking the idea had dissolved the Reichstag and taken Executive control of Rutania, and as Inteligence sources have indicated are getting ready to re-invade both Dorvik and Dundorf which the NRU did not approve of.
Regarding these actions by the Kaiser, he has crossed line regarding the Safety and protection of Artania, We have declared war because We are no longer going to sit back and take what the Reich has been doing to our fellow neighbours in Artania. We are going to make a stand against the expansionism of the Reich and bring back peace and stability to Artania and most importantly to Rutania.
There are so many innocents that live there and have to put up with a dictatorial regime that is leading their country down a path of destruction.
As a result of this, both the Kundrati Union’s Military and the Dundorf Demokratische Republik Military have started an invasion of Rutania.
At 2:30am this morning, The Northern Naval Fleet and a small Airforce Detachment with the Navy has bombarded the coast of Ardinia and barely penetrated the region of Bozarland.
Fortunately for our force, this was a Success, with only having 2 bombers and 6 fighter jets shot down. We have caught the Reich Forces by surprise, destroyed the Coastal fortifications of Ardinia, sinking Rutanian Naval vessels docked in Harbour, a small airbase in Bozarland and able to bomb a Submarine dry dock and factory line.
With the Success of the Schleffen-Blitzkrieg attack we have paved the way for ground forces to make way into the Reich Homeland.
I advise the people of Artania and all of Terra not to be alarmed, war times are never the best of times, however we felt that something needed to be done and I hope that we have the support of OPSA, Artania and Terra instead of Condemnation.
My Thoughts are with our active servicemen/women serving the frontline and the poor citizens of Rutania who have to deal with the mess that the Kaiser has brought upon them.
