Limited rationing, mainly of luxury items, has begun and will continue for the forseeable future.
There has been some rioting, but damage and casualties have been surprisingly light so far; the common opinion is that most people are in too much shock to get up to much mischief.
All citizens are strongly urged not to venture more than a mile or two away from the coasts of New Hebrides territory.
The media blackout of the first 72 hours has been lifted; normal television programming has been suspended for the most part; 24 hour news updates and reruns of old shows are pretty much all that's on right now.
As the government and leading scientists available see no chance in the immediate future of returning home, the Imperial Provinces of New Hebrides, Kalimantan, and Java have been reconfigured as the Republic of New Hebrides.
First Representative Miranda Mulawi of Williamston Prefecture has been chosen as an interim leader of the new government; she has retained her title of First Representative.
Imperial military forces on hand have been merged under the joint command of Admiral Nathan Takeshi (senior Navy officer), and Major-General Hikaru Kasewari (senior Army officer).
Deputy Defense Minister Eric Soames has announced his dissatisfaction with the Mulawi government; he is currently in the jungles of Kalimantan, trying to locate the Duke of Okinawa, an Imperial Nephew who was on Kalimantan on a hunting expedition when the Event occured. Soames hopes to set up a 'legitimate' government, with Okinawa as a figurehead, but with Soames holding the real power.

as of Mid-Aug.

Military: All warshipshave been recalled to their proper ports, unless they are on local patrols. All aircraft are still operational. Land units are on high alert, as well as the Lieboats. Word of the Dislocation was traveled down to the Admirals, Generals, COmmordores, and Air martial's of Islands. They have informed those they have demmed neccecary.

Civil: All the citizenry have been informed that an 'occurance' has left the Nation seperated from the rest of the world. Citizens in the Peripheial districts may not have recived the infornmation. The only citizens that know the whole truth are the merchant mariner Commdor's and Captains.

Government: Governor Ryes has called a massive confrence in Palikir for all of the Lieutenent Governors, Viceroys, and Mayors to explain the details of the 'dislocation'.

Economic: Because most of the Confederation's economy is centered around trade, transportation, and the space industry, it is slowly decying. Hopefully we can find some trade in this new world.

Commonwealth Of Australia dispatches Canberras with recon equipment and a light defensive armourment on missions over surrounding territory. Note: These are actually a reengined and genrally upgraded version of the Canberra including provisions for antiship missiles, anti radar missiles and short ranged AAMs for self defense

First reserve ship, HMAS Melbourne a CLG is activated and readied to take a diplomatic mission to Dominion of Australia.

[Cockroach]

The commonwealth of Australia here by announces its itention to reestablish order and civilisation in Post-Nuclear Australia. A force of 10000 mean, 25 Centurion tanks and 50 AFVs are being dispatched to the area.

Sir Thomas Hall

Commonwealth of Australia

Commonwealth of Australia:
Forces initiate a drive into Post-Nuclear Australia along initally meeting no significant resistance. Frigates and HMAS Melbourne (making a small diversion on its way to the Dominion of Australia) lay down a few bombardments on small fortress like structures encountered along the coast.

[G.Bone]

In the interest of preserving the naval security of Australia, several stations have been established along the Western Coast in order to provide an easier route to the Commonwealth of Australia. The Dominion of Australia would also like to inform that Port Moresby, Daru, and Pikepeakport are fully functioning ports of call. It should be stated, however, the previous edict on the Dominion's sphere of protection is still in effect of those islands to the North.

Septembre 7th -Brisbane Australia mid morning

Major Robert Zumo III, Captain of the SanDeigo stood on the Bridge and watched as the Airship floated over the City. It had been a Busy 60 hrs. He had been floating over Siberia, transmitting pictures of Villages and Animals, to the University back in San Diego, when the orders for Australia, had come.

There was a return trip to Japan to buy some Liquid Hydrogen to top off his fuel tanks. Supposedly the Ship carried enuff Hydrogen to sail around the World, Twice. But as Captain He didn't believe in chances, so He had arranged to top off his tanks, before leaving Japan.

Them there had been the necessity of Staying out of New Hebrides Territory, not that he was worried. After all this was a War ship, but why take Chances when not necessary.

Then while Floating just south of Guam, He had again turned on the Cameras to relay a pod of Sperm Whales. It had been hard to count but the estimate was 4-5,000 in the one pod. The University had thought they were headed south to Antarctica for the Season. Evidently there had been a similar sighting of Blue whales off the coast of Baja.

Then while Floating over New Guiana, He again turned on the Cameras to transmit pictures of a untouched Rain Forest. So now here he was Floating over down town Brisbane on his way to land at the airport. He could see people running out of Buildings and pointing up. He Kind of Hoped the Airport was too small, so he could land on the beach, like the AS Vera Cruz had done in Hesperia. Oh well at least his men would get a chance at the beach while the diplomats chattered.

[Cockroach]

The commonwealth of Australia would like to establish contact with any government, city state or warlord who has any trace of influence in this post nuclear war wasteland. The commonwealth of Australia would like to build a road link to the dominion of Australia via your territory and may if necessary use force to establish and defend such a link.

Sir Thomas Hall
Governer General
Commonwealth of Australia

The various villages and all will probally welcome order whilst the various bad people are already openly attacking you and raiding your border towns.
You can't establish diplomacy with Australia its more or less just empty land.

The commonwealth of Australia here by announces its intention to reestablish order and civilisation in Post-Nuclear Australia. A force of 10000 mean, 25 Centurion tanks and 50 AFVs are being dispatched to the area.

Sir Thomas Hall
Governer General
Commonwealth of Australia

So are you going to offer any significant resistance to this occupation?

There will probally be a lot of resistance from the various gangs in the area (those that aren't already out being bandits in your territory and the other one bordering it).
I don't see why you'd want it though, its pretty useless.

The is a formal announcement reguarding the restoration of order in post nuclear Australia. Commonwealth forces are advancing and encountering a mixture sporadic heavy resistance from small groups of savages and warm welcomes form the more civilised inhabitants. Consider the costal areas occupied.

Public Announcement to the Nations of Oceania and the surrounding Islands:

The Government of the State of Pacifica, Acting as government for the United States of America, which has dissapeared, has decided to annex and recivilize the large Island we called New Guinea. This island seems to have been untouched by humans, and we plan to use it to build homes for the tourists, as we were caught in the peak of the tourist season. That is all.

[WngMasterD]

The COnfederation of South Sea Islands makes claims to The islands of (what we know as) New Britian, New Ireland, Manus that lie around The Nation of Papua. We also Reserve the right to claim other islands in this area, with the exeption of The Giant island of Papua, which has been clamed by The State of Pacifica.


Grand Admiral Cyn

[G.Bone]

The Dominion of Australia has declared the island of New Guinea and all other islands north of our lands under our protectorate. If other nations wish to claim the resources of those islands, I ask that those nations meet with ours on the specifics on what arrangments they want. Again, the Dominion of Australia has declared a protectorate over those lands in the name of international and domestic security. If other nations want to partake of the resources of those lands, please telegram my office.

Howard Caine
PM, Dominion of Australia

[WngMasterD]

The Confederation of SOuth Sea Islands would like to use the Islands of Manus for a refuling station and layover airstrip.

Grand Admiral Cyn
Commander and Cheif, Defence forces of the CSSI

[G.Bone]

Permission is granted to the CSSI given that additional facilities are built to allow Australian ships and men. Security of those islands are hereby allotted to your nation given the severe lack of Australian ships within that region.

PM Howard Caine
Dominion of Australia

[WngMasterD]

The Confederation would be more than happy to offer services to the Dominion of Austrailias ships and aircraft.

There is a question as to whom owns the Island of Manus, would it be a protecterate of Austrailia, operated by The Confederation, or a Protectorate of The Confederation?

Grand Admiral Cyn
CIC CSSI Defence Forces

[G.Bone]

The Island of Manus would be a Protectorate of Australia but manned and operated by the CSSI. If you'd like, a treaty could be ratified on putting this arrangement in writing....

Howard Caine
PM, Dominion of Australia.

[WngMasterD]

Mr. Prime Minister,

A treaty in this situation would be very important.

The Confederation would prefer to have sole rights to the Islands of Manus, as we would be the ones operating it. However, the arrangement as you suggested would not be out of the question. Is it possible that our two nations could run in co-operativly?

Just pointing out that the dominion of Australia has already claim such teritories and that its friend, the commonwealth of Australia is prepeared to provide any support the dominion need to back up its claims up to and including war.

Sir Thomas Hall
Governer-General (acting) of the Commonwealth of Australia

[G.Bone]

To: Grand Admiral Cyn
CIC CSSI Defence Forces

Perhaps this arrangement could work;

The CSSI would have similar duties of protecting and maintaining the Island of Manus and all islands in a 2 km diameter. In turn, the Dominion would hold similiar duties over the New Guinea Island and those islands in a 3 km diameter with the exception of your sphere. In total, both countries would have dual duties over their territories with each country having the same right to dock, gain goods, and other things within their territories.

Having this arragement on paper would be agreeable. Perhaps you could draft the Treaty and both of us could sign in in Brisbane.

Howard Caine

To: The Commonwealth of Australia
From: Pacifica, United States of America

Apoligies to the government of the Commonwealth. We retract our claim on the Island of New Guinea, though we would like to ask permission to purchase land on the coatsline to settle displaced tourists.

Office of the Secretary of State

Public Announcement

New Vietnam has accepted an offer of commonwealthhood by Pacifica. Under the Temporary Constitution, this allows the island a great deal of soverignty, yet allows it the protection of the naval fleet that came with Pacifica.

I'm wondering what Siam has to say about all this Annexxing, and Protectorete-izing :confused:

[Diamond]

Somewhere in the jungles of central Kalimantan...

Eric Soames stroked his sleek mustache and tried to keep the disgust off his face as he watched Duke Iwara of Okinawa belch contentedly and finish off another roast pheasant, his third in the last hour. Iwara was, in Soames' opinion, a disgusting, sordid example of the degeneracy he was fighting against. If only I could get rid of the fat oaf... But for the moment, that was impossible. For many of Soames' troops, the only thing holding them was their loyalty to Iwara, the only known representative of the Imperial Family to have been transported to this strange world.

"So, Minister Soames... any word on when this Mulawi woman will be surrendering New Dover to us?" Iwara belched again and wiped greasy hands on his silk shirt.

Soames clenched his teeth so hard that he heard enamel grinding together. "It's not quite that simple, Your Majesty. Most of the population appears to be following Mulawi like sheep. And with all due respect, your exhortation to the men to 'sink all traitorous vessels' is not helping matters any."

Iwara looked at the Soames with his piggy eyes. "I'd use a little more respectful tone when addressing me, Minister."

The sound of growling turbines overhead drowned out any rash reply Soames might have made. "Sounds like our new friends are here!" Iwara shouted, and heaved his bulk off the couch he'd been reclining on. As fast as he could, he waddled towards the door. Soames followed.

With any luck, these sky predators can talk some common sense into the fat idiot... He wasn't sure if it was just wishful thinking; he himself had his doubts about the intelligence of making common cause with these raiders from North America, with their airships and odd little planes...

From: The Dominion of Australia

It is come to my attention that the Dominion of Australia has oft been confused with it's sister nation the Commonwealth of Australia. That is not the case. Please, if interested in opening diplomatic relations, refer us to the Dominion of Australia or Brisbane State. (Although the latter name has not officially been ratified as our country's name- it should be easier on the tongue)

AREAS CONTROLLED / INFLUENCED BY REBELS:

[Cockroach]

The commonwealth of Australia here by announces its intention to reestablish order and civilisation in Post-Nuclear Australia. A force of 10000 mean, 25 Centurion tanks and 50 AFVs are being dispatched to the area.

The occupation was going well thought Major Mark Collins. His small force of 4 Centurions and 560 infantry had met little resistance. The few clashes they had engaged in invariably lead to the demise of the local nomads, after all a motor bike might be fast but not sufficiently so to avoid the wall of 12.7mm, 7.62mm and 5.56mm ammunition that flew in their direction. But this situation was different, the locals here were much more civilised and had been organised enough to build a large fortress or castle of some kind. Also unlike the few villages encoutered earlier this one wasn't peacefully accepting the occupation and appeared to have the force to delay progress. The Major considered his options: Obliterate the castle with the Tanks 105mm main guns; to besiege it or to take it by storm. The major however didn't get to decide as one of the locals armed with some antique bolt action rifle took aim and fired...

[G.Bone]

Public Announcement to all Oceanic Countries

The Dominion of Australia would like to announce the establishment of Port Moesby, Lae, Timor, North Brisbane, and New Darwin as free port of calls to those seeking refuge. As for the Western Coastline of Australia, only Peel, Wheatbeat, and Adderton has been founded. There is a small docking fee to be paid at these ports; registration of your boat is needed at the local Naval Headquarters. If wanting to conduct land business or commercial enterprises, also see the local Naval Headquarters.

He should have taken option Four, just go around it and on to the next area. If they are organized, eventually they would have come around, as the areas around them were brought under control.

If there was no pre-planning for option four, then High Command is at fault.

From the office of Colonel Wari, South Sea Army

To the nations of Oceania, the Island of Manus is now an open port for all aircraft, and there is an airstrip for those that need it.

Hey, im just looking at the Official Map and i have a but-load more stuff than i though i had. I thought i had JUST the present country of Micronesia, but i got that and Kiribati, Palau, the Nortren Marians and the Marshall islands. SO im gonna change some stuff, nothing to major.

Population: 3 million
Islands:1500
Military:
Confederation Navy:26,000 (Escorts: 70, Patrol: 650, Submarines: 110 Light Aircraft Carriers: 15)
South Sea Armys: 20,000
AeroNavy: 11,000 (Same plane quatities)
Confederation Marines: 7,500
Confederation Life Boat Service: 7,500 (Lifeboats (S): 600; Lifeboats (M): 70;
Lifeboats (L): 20; Airships: 75; Helicopters: 50)

Regions: Ten: Palau, North Marianas, South Marianas, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, East Marshall, West Marshall, Kiribati, and The Periphery
(Note: Each Region has ten-ish districts, and each districh has ten-ish "Cities")

[G.Bone]

The cities listed in the DoA's "protection" along the Western Coast of Australia does cover a 30 mile stretch that the Post-Apocolyptic Australia has with the Pacific Ocean. As of late August, there has yet to be a clear link-up with the Commonwealth of Australia either by land routes or sea. (Although ships have already been sent)

[Cockroach]

To: The government of the New Hebrides

The commonwealth of Australia (please don't confuse us with either of the two dominions of Australia) would like to establish diplomatic contact. We are already aware of your problem with insuregents and could if you wanted offer a naval force.

Sir Thomas Hall
Governer General
Commonwealth of Australia

TO: Sir Thomas Hall

Your offer of assistance is greatly appreciated; we only regret that contact between our nations must be made in these trying circumstances. Joint operations are set to begin at the end of September; all other nations offering assistance have agreed to the New Hebrides Fleet Admiral Takeshi as task force commander. Does this meet with your approval? The smooth coordination of our forces is of the utmost importance.

Miranda Mulawi
First Representative, New Hebrides

OOC: If you could, PM me details of exactly what type and number of forces you'll 'lend' me.

Yes we are prepeared to accept the arrangement.
1500 infantry, 20 Cuirassier mk I Main Battle Tanks; HMAS Melbourne once it finishes a diplomatic mission (a missile equiped light cruiser[CLG]); 2 gun armed Frigates; 8 TSR2a medium bombers and 15 CAC-22 strike aircraft.
for more details of forces see:http://alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=4440. Should more forces be requiered we can dispatch a light Carrier (see the CVL on the page indicated) with its air group.


Capt. John Thompson paced back a fowards on the bridge. His command, the light cruiser HMAS Melbourne had just landed the diplomatic staff in Brisbane and was now on its way to the New Hebrides once meeting up with two frigates, HMAS Hunter and Yarra (armed with 4x5in in two turrets, 8x20mm in two radar guided quad mountings and 6 21in torpedo tubes in 2 triple mounting either side of the superstructure). How much the world had changed, only six months back he had been in nominal command of the old battlecruiser cum museum ship HMAS New South Wales (http://warshipprojects.board.dk3.com/2/viewtopic.php?t=1153) and now he was in command of a cruiser in a world where the exploits of his former command was unknown.

Civil: Civil unrest has been decreasing, and the initial shook of the dislocation has dissapered.

Economic: As a result of nemerous delegations, our economy is rebounding after the relocation. We have many tourists now visiting.

Govnmental: We are currently attepmting to contact the governments of Australlia. There has also been a small terror spree among the Manus Islands. The administrator, Col. Wari (SSA) was killed in a plane after it was shot down. Scince then, the terrorists have demolished a peir, and set the base chapel aflame.

The group resonsable seems to be some form of religious cult that claims that the Manus Islands are their 'promised land', they intend to take it, and establish a 'holy nation' there. They call themselves the Manuity.

Scientific: Our scientits are attepmting a Space-Shuttel lauch next week using the North-American-Council-of-Space's shuttle at the Senyavin Space port facilities.

To the Nations of Oceania

Our scientists are going to attept a space shuttle lauch, next week. Once in orbit, the North American astronauts are going to launch a small observational satelite. Is there any nation intreted in participating in this event. It may help us understatd what has happend.

I would suggest that the launching of your observation post in space could be launched at Mount Georgie, Northern Territories. Although it does not possess such details as your launching station, it does have the altitude and open space that could afford the launching of a post. Also; upon the matter of the Manuity, I would highly suggest that they would be monitored for violent activity due to Australian Naval Facilities on that Island (as the Treaty signed a few days ago)

Prime Minister,

Thank you for your concern over the issue of the Manuity. Much of this cult is unknown, except for the basics. Apperently the claim that humanity was created on the island of Manus, and that the faithfull followers of their 'god' will return there. They are also very, sopposedly, anti-viloence (ironc since their blowing up my buildings :confused: :mad: ). Today they blew up the base synagog :mad:.

We are investigating all possible resons as to why this is happening, although your navy being a reason never crossed our minds.

As to the Safty of your ships, we have doubled secutiry thoguh out the port. For the Military peirs, we have imported the South Sea Armies' best security detachment. Your ships are in good hands.

I will alert you ASAP if anything should happen to one of your ships.

The rattle of bullets broke the night silence. This awoke Flight Officer Brad Cyn with a start. He ran to his window and looked out to see a small light fading into the black ocean. He threw on a uniform jacket and ran out to see what the commotion had been. As he approached the military piers, a young corporal ran up to him.

"Sir, sir" the corporal snapped a salute, and it was returned, "The Australian ship was invaded."

"Any casualties? What happened Corporal?" Cyn asked

"There were no casualties Flight Officer." The Captain of the ship approached. "It appears that someone's boat snuck up along side ours, and boarded. Our watches never noticed." The Captain answered for the corporal.

"What did they do, sir?" Cyn questioned

"They robbed our arms locker. Took anything that could be moved easily."

"I see, Ill alert the South Sea brass, and request more personnel. For now, I'll get triple security as well. My deepest apologies sir."

"Do not worry about it Flight Officer, at least no one was hurt."
Cyn looked over the ocean wondering what was to happen now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning was like every other one. The sun rose in the east, and at 0800, the Confederation banner was raised, the anthem played, and all personnel went to chow. Yet to Private Eon, this morning felt different.
Private Eon watched a large civil yacht sail into the pier. He didn’t recognize the ensign, then again, after the relocation, no one would have. After it had docked, a crewman came of the vessel, and approached the Private.

"Sir, you will have to register your craft with the naval office right down the…" His words were cut short by the feeling of something being thrust into his back.

"Private, you will escort me to the base commanders office immediately, or I will pull this trigger" The crewman whispered through clenched teeth.

"Yes sir, right this way." The private hoped some one would notice, but no one did.

Once in the base HQ, the crewman shoved Private Eon away, and barged into the CO's office

"What is the meaning of this?" Flight officer Cyn asked
"You are going to give us this island Mr." The Crewman paused for a moment, "Cyn. Give it to us."

"Like hell I will." Cyn stood up, eye to eye with the crewman.

"That’s where you will end up if you do not follow the will of Al-Manu. Sit down and shut up Mr. Cyn. Ten millennia ago, Al-Manu created all that you see. One day he descended to here, this very spot, and created man. Unfortunately Man thought he could create more wondrous things than Al-Manu, so he left the paradise that was created for him. As he left these shores, Al-Manu promised that his faithful may return, and spend eternity with him, and all evil would perish.
"Heathens occupied this most holy land until this relocation. We were going to live here peacefully, but then YOU Jesus-Following heathens had to come in and occupy this sacred island. However, Al-Manu has called me, High Priest Dabv, to lead an army of Manuiti to reclaim this land for him. Now remove yourselves from this place, or we will surely do it for you."

"Mr. Dabv," Cyn was quite enraged at this point, "how dare you blasphemy against the almighty God, and His Son. I will sure not remove my men for some idol worshiping, pagan scum. You remove yourself from MY office now, or we will most surely do it for you."

"As I see it, that is not an option Mr. Cyn." Dabv pulled out a revolver and aimed it towards Cyn's chest; "Put me in contact with your government, now!"

[Cockroach]

The four ships were plowing thru the ocean at 15 knots. The HMAS Melbourne led the way followed by the Ro-Ro Ferry Able Tasman carrying 1000 infantry, 4 transport helicopters, 2 helicopter gunships and 15 Dingo AFVs and escorted by the frigates HMAS Hunter and Yarra. These vessels were the lead of the commonwealth of Australia's detatchment to the New Hebrides in support of the opperation against insurgents.
Capt. John Thompson surveyed the scene, he had been appointed the commander of this detatchment for the time being, realizing that since the event he had carried much of the responsibility of the commonwealth's external affairs. He thought about the other members of the multi national forces involved in this campaign and wondered how to break to his men the news that one of their allies would be an imperial Japan much like the pre ww2 version from his reality, he then realized it would actually be more difficult to break the fact to the imperial japanese that there was a captured ww2 Japanese light cruiser sitting in Adelaide harbour!

Public Announcement to all Oceanic Countries

The Dominion of Australia would like to announce the addition of Port Winwin, Port Didicall, Port Roachy, and Port Mimical as establishments in the former lands of Iriaian Jaya. The same arrangement that holds for the former Papua New Guinea still holds for it's eastern half with the amendement of no religious sects or cults putting roots in those lands. As for the Western Coastline of Australia; Cainehod, Timmyton, and Svenwen have been formed. It should be noted that the denzien of these three towns are not of Dominion status; rather they are of the ...Aboriginie descendensce whom have been augmented into our protection.

To: The Nations of Oceania,
From: The Most Holy Nation of Manus
The nations of Oceania, and the nations of the world, my name is R. Nabv, and I am the high priest of the Manuiti, and prophet for Al-Manu. Many Millennia ago, Al-Manu created all that is seen, and he crated man from the elements of the Manus Island. Al-Manu promised this island to his faithful. Now, the heathens have left it, or so we thought. The Confederation has denied our requests to the holy land, and we see this as an infringement of our freedom to worship.
We would like your help in removing the Confederation form this holy site, and help over throwing this evil, oppressive power from its seat.

High Priest Nabv,
Emissary for Al-Manu, Prophet of the Manus Nation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To: The nations of the World, and to the Defense Directorate of Manus, Office of Nabv
Please ignore any transmissions from this High Priest. He is the head of a religious cult. We have not oppressed them in anyway. We do not recognize their practices, but we do not interfere with them practicing them. We will deal with this Manuiti terrorist and secessionist act in due course.
To the nation of Australia; we apologize fir the Manuiti invading your ship, and we assure you that it will not happen again. We will repay any damages that may have incurred. The Manus port will still remain open. All other Confederation ports are open for use as well, security is guaranteed more in these mainland ports.
To Mr. Nabv, and the Manuiti, we are not amused at all by your acts off terror and treason. I assure you, that you will be punished for them. After your numerous acts of terror, we have given you (I'm surprised that we did) an area of the island for the Manuiti to live and worship on. That’s something most 'evil, oppressive powers' don’t do. However, it appears that you want the entire island. You will not get that. If your terrorist acts continue, we will use force against you.

The United States of America supports the Confederation of the South Sea Islands's claim to the island, and respectfully yet firmly asks the self-declared "Holy Nation" to cease acting as a government and surrender to the Confederation. We do not wish to fight, but we will help our ally, the Confederation, in reclaiming it's territory. We hope that once this has been done, the Confederation will allow the Manusians freedom to practice thier religion, as long as they do not interfere with the Confederation's right's as the island's sole authority.

We apperciate and thank you for your ready assistence in this manor. I can promise you that, if a peacefull solution is reached, tha Manuiti will be permited to worship freely, as long as no more attacks occur.

To the Manuiti: according to my scoreces at the Manus Base, you now have about 1000 inhabitants in your corner of the island. I also understand you have raided a millitia of 500, and a flotliila of 15 small craft. I strongly urge you not to do anything with this 'army', or elese we will be forced to act. Your army will be of no use then. Dispand your army and navy immediatly, and stop your anticts.

Governor N. Ryes, Marine High General,
Governor of the Confederation of South Sea Islands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mr. General Ryes, if you have earned that title, for i know as well as you that it is purely ceremonial.

It is correct that we have a millitia, and we have no intentions of dispanding it. The terror will stop as soon as Al-Manu's wishes are fufilled, give us this island, nothing elese, and we will leave you be. Remove your citizens from my land, and it will stop, nothing more. But we have no intentions of relenquishing our homeland.

I am very amused by your petty show of force. You might have the bigger guns, but we have Al-Manu, and he is more powerfull than any fire arm. My men are willing to fight to the death, anything for our god. and aided by him ,we will vanquish you all.

You will probably catch wind of what we have done soon. Remove yourselves, or we will surely do it for you.

After some consulting with the Royal Geographical Society in Brisbane, I have discovered that Manus Island is within the declared and recognised area that the Dominion has sovereignty over. Although a treaty was signed on giving your nation power over this small island chain, the approximate location of it being near one of our ports and claimed territory strikes a chord. When the Manuti are ...dealt with, I ask for further deliberations on the legal ramifications on declaring islands surrounding the claimed (and recognized) lands of New Guinea. With that said, Task Force Evi has been...reduced in size with some of it's contingents landed on the Northern Guinean Coastline with much of it's duties concentrated on aerial and naval blockade of the island.

“...the recovery of wreckage by the Imperial Japanese destroyers Fubuki and Miyuki confirms the reported destruction of an enemy submarine by the Commonwealth of Australia as being correct. While the Australian officials at the time didn’t have enough information to claim the kill, the Japanese reported the location of the wreckage as being consistent with the reported action by the Australian Aircraft Carrier Canberra and his escorts...”
Capt. John Thompson surveyed the scene, only a matter of days back he had been leading a task force engaged in the reduction of Manus Island. Now his ship HMAS Melbourne had joined the taskforce escorting HMAS Canberra. He looked astern, the damaged frigate HMAS Swan was under tow by his cruiser.
Mere hours back the frigate had reported a suspected contact with a submarine and shortly there after had been damaged by a near miss from a torpedo, evidently with some kind of proximity fuse. The torpedo had exploded astern of the frigate, destroying the ship's rudder and one of its propellers and causing limited flooding, had the torpedo been much closer the frigate could have been sunk. After the submarine's attack HMAS Swan had responded with its 21in homing torpedos. One of these hit yet some how the submarine survived, but forced by damage to the surface. This was when the Melbourne had played its part; Capt. John Thompson's ship was approaching HMAS Swan to take her under tow and had opened fire with her 6in guns the moment the submarine surfaced. The first volly struck its mark and the submarine desintegrated. Despite a prolonged search there were no survivors from the submarine. Shortly afterwards his ship had been detatched to tow HMAS Swan into the nearest safe port.

Major Mark Collins sat in an office, something he destinctly disliked. He was recovering from a gun shot wound he had taken in the occupation of the post nuclear waste land when his detatchment had taken on a fortrified town. He was now in command of the 3rd brigade of the Light Horse, a composit cerimonial cavalry; armour and mobile infatry force. this force of his had been tasked with putting an end to the bandits that where raiding from the more worthless and unoccupied areas of the nuclear waste. His light armor and mounted patrols were having a great deal of sucess breaking up the bandits camps...

[Cockroach]

Essential areas of the nuclear wasteland have been secured and a road established to the Dominion of Australia.
Also earlier you mentioned a large deficiancy in your land forces. The commonwealth shortly intends to restart construction of Dingo armoured fighting vechials and Cuirassier main battle tanks. Expected starting constructions rates are 9 and 4 per month respectivly later increasing to 15 and 8 respectivly. We were wondering if you would like to recieve several of these vechials as a gift or in exchange for technology?

In response to this gift, perhaps your army could take break at several ports we established on the Western Coastline.

First shipment will be of 20 Cuirassier mk I MBTs removed from active service units (intend to replace these with Cuirassier mk II from the new production run). Will ships to Brisbane ASAP.

The Commonwealth of Australia has dispatched a shipment of tanks to the dominion of Australia as a gift. Any one else in this region wanting some tanks may enquire about purchasing some in the next few production runs or aquiering production licenses to build these tanks in their own nation.

Note: the Cuirassier tanks are somewhere between OTLs Chieftan (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/chieftain.htm) and Challenger (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/challenger1.htm)

The naval base at Perth was very near empty. the reserve fleet was still working up around Adelaide and most of the active fleet was on patrol or carrying diplomatic missions to other nations. Indeed only the battlecruiser HMAS Victoria and two frigates were present. This small force was all the RAN had on hand incase the "Hesperian Navy" which had been mentioned in several radio transmissions from Africa decided to turn up. While these transmissions seemed to indicate a peaceful goal the commonwealth had decided to remain on its guard; in addition to the small task force the TSR2 strike aricraft were sitting on the tarmac with full weapon and fuel loads ready to launch at a moments notice...

The former lands of Papua New Guinea and Iranian Jaya have been officially adopted by Parliment as Brisbane territory. Those interested in settlement on that island are required to appeal to the nearest Australian Navy headquarters or base. The process of buying land has been amended to 4 days with the necessary purchase done in either gold or silver standard. Those lands near the coasts and mountains, however, will be subject to further examination due to it's importance to our State.

With the lack of any significant activity in the New Hebrides the commonwealth's forces are going to be diverted in the direction of Africa...

The carrier HMAS Canberra, the missile destroyer HMAS Ballarat, the cruiser HMAS Melbourne and the frigates HMAS Hunter, Swan and Yarra were cruising at 15 knots in the direction of Africa to investigate reports of recent unusual happenings. Now the task force was with in range of the African coast in the region of Madagascar. Aboard HMAS Canberra four CAC-25 Thylacine fighters were being readied for recon missions over what ever nations existed there.

The limited intelligence the Major had seen indicated that the "Reich" (as it was being refered to as) depended on large, ponderous and probably slow heavy tanks; hardly suitable for the Blitzkreig which the germans had been famous for but probably quite resistant to hits with regular AP shells from anything less than the 105mm of Cuirassier Mk Is...

The cargo deck of the airship was quite a different experiance to deployment Major Mark Collins had been on before; more spacious than the cramped cargo planes used in rapid deployments but at the same time more cramped and without the rolling that marked deployment via ship.
The entire forces armor and vechials had been loaded onto the airship while most of the infantry had been dispatched by ex-civilian airliner.
The airship was now mere hours away from reaching the foward staging area under the control of the United Provinces of India...
They had arrived, Major Collins marched down the ramp in full parade uniform complete with sabre and slouch hat with an emu feather plume; formal introductions and a parade followed...
