Terra Holds Its BreathPrefect Speaks To The Nation As King Gives Consent For War By Any Means With DeltariaOne of Vanuku's ballistic missile submarines prepares to dive for deep water where it will standby to receive an executive command on discharging its payload.June 4635 - The Prefect has spoken to the nation about the King's decision to endorse any military means necessary to rid Terra of the Deltarian scourge.
Wrntukai VII gave royal consent as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces to wage an all-out conflict by any means against Deltaria and any of its allies. It came after Deltaria carried out a surprise invasion of its neighbour Jakania and, reportedly, carried out a number of atrocities against civilians.
Speaking to the Kingdom in a live TV broadcast about the decision, the Prefect, Viscount Hynrk Zhtál-Merlkai, explained what must happen now.
He said: "So be it. The die is cast. His Majesty has spoken and this nation's armed forces now have the green light to wage total war against Deltaria to bring that corrupt and evil Terra-threatening regime to an end.
"International parties are now coalescing behind the idea of military intervention too - both to liberate Jakania and to invade the Deltarian homeland to remove the Czar and his criminal government – but, whilst we hope this will achieve what is required, we cannot guarantee it will happen... or will happen soon enough. We cannot allow more atrocities to unfold or for Deltarian to be quelled now temporarily only menacingly to return in the future.
"Therefore, whilst these discussions continue we will ramp up our unilateral preparations for war: orders will be sent to all our strategic and tactical warhead teams on land, sea and in the air to set their sights on pre-ordained strategic and tactical targets in the Deltarian homeland.
"They will then standby for my command, which will be the executive authorisation security code and then the command either "go" or "don't go". If the command is "go" they will carry out strikes on their pre-ordained targets using all ordnance at their disposal.
"Our conventional forces, both regular and reserve personnel, are now fully mobilised. The air force is ready to carry our a series of air superiority missions to ground the Deltaria's airforce and destroy the limited HEAT missile defence system they put so much faith in.
"Our naval carrier task forces are converging on the theatre and our land forces are full mobilised and ready to deploy.
"It is my intention to put a final ultimatum to Deltaria calling for the immediate abdication of the Czar and his government - with the protagonists giving themselves up to international authorities to stand trial for crimes against humanity, the immediate end to the nuclear weapons programme and a complete withdrawal from Jakania with reparations to be decided by the international community.
"If they refuse this ultimatum, or no response is received, we will have to assume that a state of war exists with Deltaria and that all means at our disposal will be used to achieve victory."
