Hutori Launches Operation Archangel

[Augustus Germanus]

As the Hutorian invasion begins, the Kivonians takes hostages

As soon as the Hutorians launched their invasion of northern Davostan, the Kivonian 10th and 11th Corps began their classified operation, at first reports came in with the small news that demands had been given to the Hutorian commanders. But after a leak was made within the Kivonian military high command, it turns out that the demand which is part of the classified operation, is known as Executive Order 0216. This brutal order had been given to the 3rd Division of the newly established 11th Corp led by Major General Joachim Norddahl, the 6th Division of the 11th Corp led by Major General Ann Ljungberg, 12th Division of the 11th Corp led by Major General Johan Ohlsson and the 14th Division of the 11th Corp led by Major General Lovisa Bergman, and of the 10th Corp it had been given to the 18th Division led by Major General Esther Frisk, the 20th Division led by Major General Albert Antonsson, the 25th Division led by Major General Hannes Liljeström and lastly the 27th Division led by Major General Linus Göransson. According to the order, of which is currently being carried out, the mentioned commanding officers are to apprehend a minimum of 3,000 to a maximum of 20,000 civilians in nearby towns and small cities, and hold them hostage by giving the nearest enemy commander the demand to halt their forces and possibly to make them fall back, otherwise the civilians would be - as described in the document - terminated, with no survivors. The document also shows that it is a signed order by the Counselor to the Republic Julius Callus, the de facto head of state of the Third Republic.

War Going in Allied Powers' Favour, Questions Circle About Hostage Situation

[Augustus Germanus]

As the End of the Third Republic seems to draw nearer, the majority of the Kivonian forces gathers around Fladborg

With the loss of lands, the Kivonian military has stationed themselves around the Greater Fladborg District (Sub-Province) in order to secure a possible deceive blow against the enemy forces. A move which some in the Kivonian military considers delusional and pointless. Others believe that the true objective around Fladborg is the remnants of the Republic navy stationed at a small harbor west of Fladborg, and that they are preparing a escape to the island of Dovmark. Counselor to the Republic held a powerful speech to the soldiers present:

Loyal soldiers of the Kivonian Republic, chaos is at our doorstep. Thieves and psychopaths of the Telamon regime have claimed for themselves a government of no legitimacy, a government of falsehood, lies, and corruption breeded from foreign minds of radical socialistic teachings. It was our own Head of the Nation Volkhardt who showed us the weakness that presents itself when a state is allowed to be swallowed up by alien ideologies, and when such a state becomes sick with the disease of division and segregation.
With the death of our beloved Leader, our own Republic was cast into disorder. It gave strength to the terrorists of Telamon, and emboldened them with a deceitful claim of bringing liberation and freedom to the Davostan and yet, for so long, who have been the champions of freedom? The only war visited upon Davostan has been the one brought by the treacherous false queen of Telamon.
Invaded through a false pretext by Hutori, the Republic could fall at any moment, so I brought us here to Fladborg, unifying our people and our powers in these special lands. Soon they come! Soon they try to finish what they started. They want to end the Third Republic. They deny our legitimacy. They lie about the stability and peace we brought for Davostan. For those are their truest and most brutal weapons; deception and delusion. We must not give in. We must see them as they are:
Thieves and psychopaths! They are subhuman. They are parasites to us in the truest sense of the word and deserves no mercy from us at all. This is our final hour, and I call you now to do your duty by the greatness of the glorious Kivonian Republic. The battle to come is not a fight for Fladborg or even a fight for the Republic. It is a fight for all of Davostan and Kivonia. If we fail here, we fail everywhere. We fail our loved ones. We fail our children. We fail all who crave prosperity and light in these dark times.
We pursue no other aim than freedom from oppression, liberty from lies, salvation from irrationality!
Today is the day we fight back and reclaim our lands!
Today is the day the Telamon regime dies at the hand of our Republic!
Today we HAIL OUR KIVONIA!

With the end of the Counselor's speech, every Kivonian soldier who has gathered in Fladborg responded with the same cry as alway "All Hail Kivonia!". The soldiers which have been gathered around Fladborg numbers up to 60,000 soldiers, mostly new conscripts. Despite the odds against them, with their now high morale they intend to give the enemy hell. General Ruprecht Brandler, Minister of the Republic Viktor Haninge, General Eric Kraus and a few other lieutenant generals have also gathered around Fladborg, the popular fleet Admiral Wilhelm Leitz as well, the latter known for his impartial stance on politics but staunch proudness of patriotism.

In other parts of Kivonia, as ordered in the Executive Directive 0216 the commanding officers who have taken thousands of civilians hostage, have now carried out the termination of them as directed in Order 0216. Once source claims that it was carried out without hesitation, and that about an estimated number of 23,000 men, women and children was killed by it. As also directed in the Order, the commanding officers of the death squads are to move to the next location of civilians to take them hostage as well.

Another order was also given to any surviving troops in any other place around the country than Fladborg, stating to destroy as much of the infrastructure as possible and then move towards Fladborg, in other words, a scorched earth tactic was ordered as a last desperate act of defense. Counselor Callus also ordered Lieutenant General Oskar Posse of the Capital Defense Corp to hold the capital city Kivonia to the last man, but it appears that when the latter heard about the massacre of the civilians he instead declared allegiance to the people rather than to the Republic and occupied the city, it is rumored that he had offered it to the enemy forces. A witness report says that when Julius Callus heard of the Lt Gen. Posse's actions, he just shrugged it off with almost zero interest in the matter. As the Kivonian military is in disarray every where in the country, with only the Fladborg forces having somewhat of an organized structure, the destruction of the Third Kivonian Republic is drawing nearer. A glorious end for a warrior nation? Or a humiliating misery for ages to come?

Prominent figures flees, gets captured and surrenders to the enemy forces

As the end for the Third Republic draws as nearer, as the enemy forces are with Fladborg, it seems as if prominent figures of the Third Republic has started to flee or even surrendered to the enemy forces. Some of those who was able to make a miraculous escape was Secretary of State of the Republic Christian Kvist (Shadow Council member), Minister of Science and Technology Klemens Grünfeld and Minister of Trade and Industry Ulf Hedegaard. Why we believe they have successfully fled the country is because of the Shadow Council's report that these figures have been declared traitors and sacked from their positions. Other declared traitors include Minister of Internal Affairs Daniela Hjertsson (Shadow Council member) and Minister of Justice Nanna Berg who was not fortunate enough to been able to hide and flee the enemy and was instead captured by them, the former by Telamonese forces and the latter by Hutorian forces. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Marianne Bruun, was one of the few ministers who did not accompany the cabinet and the Shadow Council to Fladborg and instead remained in the capital city Kivonia. With Lieutenant General Oskar Posse turning the city over to the enemy (which is rumored to been the work of Minister Bruun), the Minister of Foreign Affairs voluntarily surrendered to the Hutorian forces. As soon as the Shadow Council in Fladborg heard of the news she was also sacked from her position and declared a traitor along with Lt Gen. Posse. The other Ministers of the cabinet has for now remained in Fladborg with the Shadow Council and Counselor Julius Callus.

How some of the ministers were able to flee without being discovered has already began conspiracy theories, the most prominent one being is that the STASÄ (State Security Service) is in some way involved in the escape, as logically speaking the only way they would have been able to escape is if the STASÄ was involved and that this was actually a planned and carefully organized contingency, which went sideways for two of the ministers.

Hutorian Forces Continued Advance, Capture War Criminals, Hutorian Forces Capture City of Kivonian and Central Resistance Collapses, Allied Forces Launch Final Assault on Fladborg

With the mainland lost, the Kivonian regime flees to the island of Dovmark

With the battle of Fladborg coming to an end with an astonishing Hutorian victory, the leftovers of the Shadow Council and the very few troops left fled to the Island of Dovmark. This was possible with the help of the small ships - that survived the Hutorian destruction of the Kivonian navy - stationed at a harbor west of the city of Fladborg with Admiral Wilhelm Leitz in command. Thousands of dead and thousands more captured Kivonian soldiers, the fighting is now finally coming to an end, but that depends on the Kivonian government. The Shadow Council, has set up its operations in Dovmark, in the city of Sankt Erwinsburg, the city named after Saint Erwin Reinhardt, father of Dictator August Reinhardt, the Kivonian hero. Early today however, the Shadow Council member, Minister of the Republic Viktor Haninge revealed that the Counselor of the Republic Julius Callus had died during the final moments of the battle of Fladborg, his body was supposed to been transported with helicopter to the harbor west of Fladborg, but was shot down by Hutorian forces and crashed down in the ocean sinking deep. The cause of death has therefore not been clarified, however, speculations as usual has been spreading that he either died of battle wounds caused by the enemy forces, or that he was assassinated by one of their own. As no clear de facto or de jure leader exists, and that the Shadow Council only consists now of three people - General Ruprecht Brandler, Minister of the Republic Haninge and Minister of Defence Thorsten Morgentaler - it has been decided that the Council is to be dissolved and replaced by a triumvirate known as the Continuation Government, composed of General Brandler who will be the commander-in-chief of the remnant forces, Minister of the Republic Haninge who will use his position as the de facto head of government and surprisingly Admiral Wilhelm Leitz, who was chosen to assume the newly created position Rikspresident (President of the Realm) as the head of state, the latter was included to keep the moderate officers present in Dovmark in check, as Admiral Leitz is seen as a non-partisan and moderate figure respected by nearly all of the armed forces before and after the war. Admiral Leitz was also a critic of the violent tactics of Counselor Callus and was one of the few to support State Officer Cederstam's opposition to the war in 4773. Unfortunately to the moderate officers disappointment, the now Rikspresident Leitz is merely a figure head as the real power lies with Minister Haninge and General Brandler both of whom seeks to continue the war, hence the name Continuation Government.

Military officers launches a coup against the Continuation Government

Early today communications all around the city of Sankt Erwinsburg (de facto capital of the Third Republic) was disrupted and the people there could see how Kivonian soldiers put roadblocks with barbed wires on the main roads. Kivonian National Salvation Party officials were seen arrested and put into trucks to be taken to the small military installation outside the city. The soldiers had also taken control over the tv and radio stations, and had marched in to the various buildings used as government facilities, moments later arrested government ministers was seen brought out of the buildings. The soldiers then forced themselves into the temporary Office building of the President of the Realm, in there General Ruprecht Brandler, the commander-in-chief of the remnant forces, and the head of government Minister of the Republic Viktor Haninge was apprehended. In one of the tv stations, the soldiers held a brief announcement, where to everyones surprise the former State Officer of the Republic Isabella Cederstam appeared. She explained that with the help of a few moderate officers and the Telamon government been brought to the island of Dovmark, she immediately met with Rikspresident Wilhelm Leitz in secret. A few days later, she had rallied other moderate officers wanting to end the war and bring the Kivonian regime to justice, as they launched the coup very effectively with no bloodshed at all. Rikspresident Leitz had lured Minister Haninge and General Brandler to his officer right before the coup was launched. Rikspresident Leitz then decided to speak to the people as well in the tv station and announced that he had officially appointed Cederstam as State Officer once more as the new head of government for the now called Peace Council. Cederstam continued with expressing her desire to meet with the governments of Hutori and Telamon to discuss peace.
