The fog was heavy, the waves were crashing, the water an icy cold temperature, after reaching a certain distance the TPN escort vessels broke from formation to allow Herreran Naval Personnel to guide it in with their own ships. Ship horns sounded as the massive carrier carefully came into port and safely docked. Herrera is now in its first steps to becoming a naval power.[/quote] [img]https://my.mixtape.moe/jynctq.jpg[/img]

I cannot conceive the possibility that you came to us for our help only to surrender to those Slavic dogs the day after. We made the time to come all the way from our lands and we were prepared to welcome you with open arms as friends and give you all we had in order to help you secure a firm victory over Tbonia. Your commanders and instructors received assistance from our very best of warriors and leaders. Your men saw with their own eyes all the piles of ammunition and cutting-edge weaponry and equipment we brought over from our land to help you beat back Tbonia. Even some of our own were willing to join you on incursions against them. But what do you do with this? You kowtow and submit to the enemy, which all of us here at the Children of God have taken as an insult and a slap in the face. How utterly disgraceful and dishonorable. The light was shining through the clouds, but instead you covered your own eyes and kept believing you were in the dark. We hope, for your sake, that you never ever ask us for our aid ever again as we will bury you alive in our sands if you do. If the Central Pact decides to rescind on their agreement, we will not help and we will pray they eat you all alive.

[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;51614157]There isn't an advantage just because you say there's one. The Turks aren't going to be celebrating whilst their country is at war, things are just the way they were before. The Turks have had just as much time to dig in and fortify as you've had to prepare, just like Rick's posts suggested previously.[/QUOTE] I do not mean an advantage as in a literal one, sorry wrong choice of words, Will be more direct next time. Also, yea which is a reason why the battle for the city will take more then likely all winter or most of it at least. I have discussed this issue with other allies and with the Turks fortified we know it will be a costly battle indeed.

And due to their uniforms, the risk of friendly fire is high.[/quote]

[quote=GRN][i]"Bulgarian and VDI officials have both confirmed that VDI forces stationed in the city of Varna are now being withdrawn from the ERR-Turkey front. VDI is yet release an official statement regarding their current situation however officers on the ground have assured the bulgarian people that all VDI forces will be out of the country in 48 hours. At the same time the VDI Public Relations office made a brief statement regarding the GCMU's failure while also officially making it public that the multinational organization would no longer be a member of the military union. This leaves Blackforce International as the only member of the GCMU, effectively disbanding it after VDI, Penumbra and Kraaivuur all secceeded."[/i][/quote] [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71236376/Espionage%20Wars/VDI/VDI%20Secession/VDI%20Secession%20GRN.jpg[/t] [quote=GRN][i]"Here in Stockholm several blocks in central Solna have been swarming with VDI security forces and local police.
