Prince Pawl marries Hulstrian Crown Princess SarahKing "overjoyed" at marriage of his second son.September 4310 - The second son of the aging King Temrkai, Prince Pawl Banmek-Sntazed, has married the Hutorian Crown Princess Sarah. The Prince, as previously reported, is the Deputy Director-General of the State Security Agency. The Prince has resigned from his post and has moved to Hutori to be with the Crown Princess. While the marriage was partially arranged it does seem the couple go along very well. Upon his departure the King granted his son the hereditary title of Prince of Vanuku, a great honour and his birthright, as well as the title of Duke of Stormkaap. In Hutori the Prince, known for his sharp mind and unstoppable work ethic, will be known as Paul, Prince-Consort, Duke of Stormkaap, Earl of a yet to be designated Hutorian holding and Prince of Vanuku. The royal marriage will be a new chapter in Hutorian and Vanukean cooperation as the elder brother of Prince Pawl, Archduke Juhn, is very close to his brother. When King Temrkai passes or abdicates the world will see a new strong monarchist alliance.
World in awe as two ancient enemies uniteIstalian-Vanukean task force outfitted for rapid conquest and peacekeeping.Vanukean Marines of the Black Brigade, outfitted for operations behind enemy lines, preparing for the offensive.April 4311 - Today a historic moment occurred in the histories of the Republic of Istalia and the Kingdom of Vanuku. The two nations have, for centuries, been known as the two most contrasting nations in Majatra. One is a progressive liberal democratic republic with pro-intervention tendencies and a very active role in the World Congress, the other is an absolute monarchy and a liberal dictatorship who have a reputation of helping nations if it benefits themselves. Together they are the strongest nations of Majatra, and some even claim of the world itself. For ages these two adversaries did everything they could to undermine each and every step the other took. This rivalry continued until recent times, with Vanuku backing the Nimitz regime in Hulstria for military gains. This lasted until the ambassador of Vanuku was confronted with evidence of genocide in the World Congress. A short deliberation took place in Vanuku, a nation extremely sensitive to apartheid and genocide, and the ambassador made a statement where he called upon the Republic of Istalia to cooperate with them to liberate Hulstria and protect the minorities that were being persecuted. This call went unanswered for a few weeks as the Istalians analyzed what just happened, in the end they accepted the offer.
The meeting of the Istalian and Vanukean commanders in the temporary base of Fort Liberation in New Verham.Today, as stated before, a historic moment happened. The commanders of both nations met in the Republic of New Verham, a nation with historical ties to Vanuku, where the intervention forces of both nations gathered. The commanders spoke and disagreed, as expected, on some points but a unified battle plan was concluded rather swiftly with both nations focusing on their strong points. The Istalian force will focus on a broad front push with mechanized and armoured forces, taking the brunt of the assault in Southern Ostland to slowly push North. Istalian forces will also launch amphibious assaults on the Eastern shores of Ostland. Vanukean marines will lead this big push in the Eastern part of Ostland. Furthermore, specialized units of the Vanukean military like the Black Brigade will start operations behind enemy lines to disrupt their supply lines and capture or kill enemy commanders. Both nations will deploy paratroopers to help the broad push, which is also supported by Vanukean armour. In the end this is a total cooperation with joint Istalian and Vanukean command.
At 4 am the following day the operation was launched, with forces advancing in the dark. At midnight however the first Vanukean black ops forces already moved into enemy territory and at 2 am the Istalian paratroopers engaged enemy forces. With two of the strongest armed forces of the world now engaging the Hulstrians in their backyard the days seem numbered for the Nimitz regime.
