British Broadcasting Corporation – First few days of the Raj War
_{Death toll rises to 1,455 in the Sittwe Attack}
More details are emerging of the attack on Sittwe Harbour in British hanthawaddy with the number of the British personnel dead now standing at 520 and 935 Hanthawaddy support staff and local people killed in the attack.

In his statement yesterday the Prime Minister outlined his shock and dismay at the attack and the governments’ gratitude that our allies and the international community more generally has responded so quickly and to “unprovoked act of aggression against a third nation”.

_{The War Act and coalition government}
Parliament passed the War Act 2022 with no votes against. As part of the Act a coalition government has been formed to include members of the Tory Party. Four Tory MPs are now part of a war cabinet, three having previously served in the Military, and one as head of a logistics company. They will be ministers for Requisitions, Air Force, Army and Navy to bolster the Minister of Defence and his junior ministers. The Prime Minister with allies and Cabinet have agreed overall objectives and strategy, leaving command and control to “experienced experts”.

The Act also allows for the nationalisation and requisition of equipment or companies and the suspension of national elections.

Trading on the London Stock Exchange has been suspended for at least a week.

_{General mobilisation}
Army, Navy and Air reserves are now being mobilised with requisitioned A380s and ships to shift equipment and personnel to Diego Garcia or Hanthwaddy.

Equipment and man power is massing in British Hanthawaddy as air defences including both air craft carriers, a large task force including the HMS Prince of Wales, Type 26 and 24 destroyers and submarines are now in position off of the coast near Sittwe. Full air sweeps and 24hr AW&CS service are patrolling the skies with submarines in the sea.

The first sorties by F35 stealth jets have begun, attacking air and other defence positions along the border.

Anglia and hibernia's status on the world

After a televised announcement by Prime Minister Wulfric Tadman and First Minister Frederik Hansen, both have agreed to declare the nation neutral in the ongoing conflicts of the world. Their reasoning is set in the Republic's lack of modern weapons and pathetically small armed forces, along with a mostly apathetic population and lack of threat from any of the current belligerents. Although those who are wishing to flee the conflicts are welcomed into the nation, as long as those fleeing to Anglia or Hibernia are able to provide proper documentation to customs upon arrival.

In other news

The foreign affairs office has stated its wishes to establish formal embassies with the nations of the world, providing that they are willing to host an Anglo-Hibernian embassy on their soil. The office has also accepted the offer of mutual embassies with the nation of Greater arberia and wishes for a prosperous relationship to foster between our two great states.

Embassy Exchange
To whom it may concern,

We would like to begin by stating that we also hope for a long, prosperous relationship between our two nations and that we are pleased that Anglia and Hibernia have accepted our offer for an embassy exchange. As such, we will send Mr. Ermal Doko as our ambassador to your nation, and will welcome the Anglican/Hibernian ambassador upon their arrival to Arbëria. We will arrange an embassy for your nation near the heart of Tirana.

We hope that this will be the opening act of a great friendship between our two peoples and will be looking forward to future collaboration with your nation in regards to trade, tourism and much more.

Signed

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greater Arbëria

PART 1, 1945 Hours Local, Briefing Room, Camp Tahrir, Thar Desert, Islamican

Major Loring, Captain St.Clair, and Group Captain McCallister stop in front of large boards of maps of the state of Rajasthan and of the Soviet Raj. They were about to brief the flight leads on their mission.

Loring: Gentlemen, we've been given new orders to strike against Jaipur, Rajasthan's State Capitol, It's a target-rich environment. There is an air base, several supply depots, factories that are being used in the war effort, and the Soviet Army Group 5's HQ is in the city. Major Chamberlain has confirmed that they're set up in the capitol buildings. Our goal is to destroy these installations and weaken the Soviet Forces on the border. We want to keep Civilian Casualties to a minimal, Major Chamberlain and his group have already sent us coordinates of these locations. Do not, under any circumstances drop unguided munitions over Civilian areas. Captain St.Clair, you're up.

St.Clair: Alright Bubs listen up, At 2100 Hours, we'll take off from Camp Tahrir, The EA-6 Prowlers will lead the formation, jamming and pointing out enemy radar and air defense systems. Behind them, the F-4G Wild Weasels will destroy these ground-based air defenses clearing a path for us. 3 Flights of F-4E and 3 Flights of F-5E Tiger IIs will provide fighter escort for the formation, The rest of the F-5 will be with the E-2 at the rear of the formation to provide escort and be held in reserve, the rest Phantoms will be used for the ground attack to aid the A-4s. We'll be attacking the runway, and Supply Depots to the North. As for you Harriers and Mirage Pilots, Group Captain McCallisters and Air Marshall Devi will brief you after me.

Now, for all of you, and I mean all of you but especially the E-2 crews, New Delhi is Bullseye, You give the fighters the enemy aircraft's bearing from Bullseye, their range from it, then their altitude, and finally the direction of travel. Call-outs should sound like this then "Bandits, 040 at 70 Miles, heading southwest at 5,000". Meaning that there are bandits at bearing 040 from Bullseye, 70 miles from bullseye, flying southwest and 5,000 feet. After the AWACS makes a call out, Fighters, you're to look at your position and look at where the enemy is and vector an intercept, AWACS will then direct the flight closest to intercept, but at this point we're beating a dead horse. You know your jobs and I have faith in you all. Major Loring and I will be the Flight leads of the F-4Es tasked with escorts. Our flight leads, you're dismissed, brief your men, and ready your planes.

The 101st Fighter-Bomber Squadron of the Royal Indian Air Force, RIAF, was composed of 48 F-4Es. The 102nd Fighter Squadron, AKA Hornet Squadron was the F-5s, The 103rd Attack Squadron, Also known as Killer Bee Squadron was the A-4s, 104th Attack Squadron aka Viper Squadron were the F-4Gs, the 105th Electronic Warfare Squadron aka Spider Squadron were the EA-6s and the E-2s. McCallister Group, the 100th Fighter Squadron was called Bear Squadron and Devi's Mirages, The 1st Fighter Fighter Squadron was Tiger Squadron. Loring and St.Clair briefed their men before McCallister and an angry Air Marshal Laal Devi joined them.

Devi: D@MN THAT FOOL VARMA! DOES HE WANT MY MIRAGES KILLED!!

Loring: What do you mean sir?

Devi: Varma wants me to have my Mirages only carry bombs, he said that your men can handle everything, that wasn't the original plan and I can hardly counter his orders. Loring, can your fighters cover us?

Loring: We'll try but we might be running on fumes by the time you get there. We don't have time to change the plan.

McCallister: My lads might be able to aid, but we're not the best for the job.

Loring: S*it, well, that'll have to do for now, come on Boys, we're going up soon. Good luck to you McCallister and to you Devi.

McCallister: And same to you Loring, Same to you. St.Clair, you do your best now to stay alive as well, can't have a good scot dying, even if he is an American.

St.Clair: Thank you sir, we'll see you when we get back.

McCallister: Of course.
McCallister and Devi walked away as Loring, St.Clair and the Rest of their flight climbed into their F-4s, starting their massive J-79s engines. Wolf Squadron, is about to go on its first hunt.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Greater arberia

It has been made a priority by the Congress of Peoples that the peoples of Balkan Europe and East Asia should begin engaging in more deep, comprehensive bilateral ties with one another. Bilateral cooperation is mutually beneficial for both our peoples, emerging from the deep potential for cooperation between us. As Greater arberia emerges as a regional leader in Europe, and as we emerge as the regional powerhouse of the East, we must both work together, sooner rather than later, to construct more comprehensive schemes of cooperation that will impact trade, culture, society, technology, military affairs, and infrastructure.

The two countries mutually complement each other. Let us see a brighter future together.

The FEUSSR wishes to dispatch Ambassador Zheng Xiwei to Greater Arberia to serve as diplomatic envoy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs further wishes to propose the creation of the Far Eastern-Arberian Free Trade Agreement, a free trade agreement that will bolster our export and import markets, providing for more competitive industries, and allowing our citizens to enjoy the fruits of international trade. Under this trade agreement, both jurisdictions covenant to remove all tariffs on all traded goods and services between the two jurisdictions. Note that this arrangement shall not apply to the Ryukyu islands autonomous region or The four western circuits.

We await your cherished reply.

Embassy Exchange and Free Trade Agreement
To whom it may concern,

We appreciate the swift response and the progressive approach that the FEUSSR has taken in regards to the relations between your nation and Greater Arbëria. To begin with, we shall dispatch Mr. Shtjefen Pirroka as our ambassador to the FEUSSR, and will welcome Ambassador Zheng Xiwei with open arms to the FEUSSR embassy in Tirana. We also hope for a fruitful relationship between our two great countries.

Furthermore, we will accept your proposal for the Far Eastern-Arberian Free Trade Agreement - the finer details and the like can be sorted through continuous cooperation over the coming weeks between our respective representatives. We certainly believe that high-quality Albanian products will be greatly appreciated in the FEUSSR, and vice versa. May this be the beginning of a longstanding friendship and plentiful cooperation between our states.

Sorong, Papua Barat Province

Ciputra Towers Complex

Rain lashed the ground violently as strong winds threw about debris and rubbish indiscriminately, brilliant bolts of jagged of lighting crossed the otherwise dark grey and cloudy sky, illuminating the layered storm clouds and silhouetting towers in the heart of Sorong. Each vivid flash was summarily punctuated by booming thunder loud enough to vibrate buildings before its resonance faded into the sounds of rain pummeling the landscape. Despite the harsh conditions, traffic flowed throughout the city normally, trails of whites and red blurring together along major roadways from the illumination of vehicles; light rail continuing to roll along, unbothered by the storm as they had a schedule to keep. This was the view provided by the broad window of the 37th floor conference room of Tower 2 in the Ciputra Towers Complex.

Along the left-hand wall was the large paneled window overlooking the newly revitalized city of Sorong; the wall opposite that was adorned with modern artwork depicting various localized landscapes, and a portrait of the late first president of Indonesia. The South or "bottom" wall contained the double doors intobthe room, flanked by security personnel and two larger reached tropical looking plants in ornate pots. The North or "top" wall contained a drop-down projector screen, fully unfurled, onto which the projector in the center of the ceiling room was suspended, currently displaying various images and statistics. In the center of the room was a smart, polished black table, around which sat representatives from Aozhou, The Philippines, and Indonesia, convened for an emergency meeting of the heads of government of ASEAON regarding the membership of Hanthwaddy, although, the situation had changed significantly since the outbreak of conflict had begun.

Currently speaking was Indonesian President Rayyan, addressing her colleagues; on either side of sat the Indonesian Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

"As you can see, the Hanthawaddan economy is burgeoning as the nation continues to equalise its total national growth and the HDI of Hanthawaddy continues to go on the up and up.
These all seem to be right on track for ASEAON ascension goals."

Taking a moment, she grabbed her glass of water to take a sip before setting it back down and continuing.

"Now...we all know that the situation in Hanthwaddy has changed, quite drastically, since we agreed to meet in Sorong regarding their ASEAON membership. Outright conflict has broken out between India and Hanthwaddy in the Northern regions near their shared border. At this time, I do not know the exact causes of conflict, though my national intelligence agencies are currently monitoring the situation, if we discover something, it will be shared immediately with both of your governments. I'm sure that you know we'll enough about this conflict, Prime Minister Wang, as it would appear that the Commonwealth has come in to aid Hanthwaddy.

I have increased my nation's military presence along the Indian Ocean Coast and secured Indonesian territories in the area, as well as the Natunas Regency near the South China Sea as a precautionary measure. I assure you both that I intend to maintain Indonesian neutrality throughout this conflict, if the Commonwealth were to doubt my intentions, I can assure you that Indonesia would never turn on one of its closest allies, Aozhou, for assurance for the Crown.

Mowever I am willing to supply the government of Hanthawaddy with materials and supplies should they need it, and I have opened the border with their Southern peninsula to refugees, and will provide shelter to them throughout the duration of this conflict. I am concerned, for the people of Hanthwaddy in this war. ASEAON cannot do much other than condemn the actions of India, however, that of course will need unanimous support from all of us. We also must find a course of action to take in regards to their ascension to ASEAON."

She finished speaking before clasping her hands together on the table, looking to the leaders of Aozhou and the Philippines to await their replies.

The Riksrådet Oslo Session

Riksrådet members voted 350 in favor to 150 against for the Armament act and renewal today to increase defensive expenditures. A focus will be placed on the acquisition of new equipment, and authorized purchase of foreign, allied made warplanes.

The bill places emphasis on the development of domestic equipment in areas of artillery, MLRS systems, and anti missile measures.

The Riksrådet also issued a statement of concern regarding the potential for war in the area of Turco-Bulgaria, hoping that all sides can see to it a peaceful resolution.

The same statement of concern stated the following in regards to the Far Eastern Union of Soviet Republics

“We, the Riksrådet of the Kalmar Union, do hope the strange involvement of the FEUSSR in European affairs is of good faith. Their practice of “armed neutrality” only seemingly shows a willingness to force the will of its government on the sovereignty of other nations to broker deals that only favor one party, the FEUSSR. Our trade, our citizens, must not be interfered with. We do hope the use of the UAN can be realized to broker such deals. We will seek such paths on the international floor.”

Finally, the finalization of the Oslo session ended in a resolution of reaffirming friendship with Romanovskaya.

“Our nations have long been connected, and it is the continuing goal of this government to continue the friendly relations we have enjoyed in the Baltic regions. We stand firmly with the people of Romanovskaya and will uphold its sovereignty at all times.”

The Riksrådet will meet again in 3 weeks in Copenhagen as it takes its turn in the yearly rotation between the 3 capitals.
