Davostag

Government issues mass fortifications on the coasts
As tensions arise, fortifications are being built and the army positioning itself close to the Hutori border

With the tensions skyrocketing between the Third Kivonian Republic and the traitorous warmongers on the other side of Makon, the Government has now issued a mass fortification along the southern coasts of mainland Davostag, as well as on the Bindeborg islands. Now reaching year 4760, the armed forces has reached its goal to have over 335,000 active personnel and 410,000 reserves, the High Command has also confirmed the formation of new corps and naval groups to include the new numbers in the structural organization of the armed forces. Not only that but the Government has also motioned the Totalförsvars Dekret (Luthorian: Total Defence Decree), a military order with the direct inspiration from the Dorvish Landsturm Decree. This new motion if activated will mobilize 1/3rd of the Davostani-Kivonian population which would number up to almost four and a half million men and women.

As the coasts are being reinforced with bunkers and anti-naval equipment, the Kivonian Army has begun its positioning close to the Hutorian border after the large nation had begun patrolling alongside the Kivonian border. The Armed Forces have also confirmed that the Army will begin regular exercises with the Air Force to combat possible Hutorian act of aggression. The Deputy Director of the General Staff of the Armed Forces has stated that "because of the closeness between Hutori and Telamon, Kivonia will take the neighboring nation as a possible threat to Kivonian sovereignty and will assume Hutorian involvement if Telamon dares to lay their hands on Kivonian territory". In the political scene in Kivonia, the rhetoric from political figures has increased exponentially, some even longing for a war with Telamon and wishing to lay Hutori to waste for their active involvement in Davostani affairs.

State Security Service expanded into the military
Continuing arrests by both the military and the expanded State Security Service continues

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (Inrikesdepartementet) announced that the State Security Service (Statens Säkerhetstjänst; STASÄ) would be expanded to help and assist the military in various ways, especially now, when the Tension Act soon is about to be implemented into national law. STASÄ has as an official assignment to protect the Republic and the institutions of the state against both external and internal threats, this reasoning has been used to expand the powers of the agency, and has helped the military police to categorize and issue "special" warrants for arrests towards suspected enemies of the Republic, because of this, massive arrests have been taken place the recent months despite not being "allowed" , yet, by law to commit these arrests. Most of the arrested have been confirmed to be sympathizers to the High Queen's regime in Telamon, and by looking at the recent weeks, one can see that the majority of the apprehended suspects are mostly Telamonic citizens and of the ethnic Skjöld minority in Davostag. This has caused an increasing amount of the Skjöldic people too rapidly travel towards the Hutori border. As of now, it is confirmed that over the past three months, 3,000 enemies of the Republic has been apprehended and put in internment camps after the jails became full, the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also tried to make sure that the conditions and treatments in the camps are as acceptable to international standards as possible.

Telamonic Freighter Attacked, Many Consider Act of War

[Augustus Germanus]

Minister of Defence accuses Telamon for staging the freighter attack
The Kivonian Minister of Defence Thorsten Morgentaler has accused the Telamonic military for staging the attack on the freighter for a reason for war

This evening Minister of Defence Thorsten Morgentaler told the press and indirectly to the Telamonic government and military to be extremely careful with their next move (militarily). Early today, the Telamonic government reported that a Kivonian patrol ship allegedly shot up a Telamonic freighter, with the former apparently opened fire on to the Telamoners. However, the military high command has confirmed that no Kivonian soldiers from either the Grand Navy or the Grand Army had operated in the alleged area of the alleged attack, and they have also stated that no Kivonian military presence have been taken place near the area of the alleged event since the joint military operation with Likatonia in 4760. The National Military Commission have also stated that the Kivonian army, navy and Air Force will be on high alert, not only because of the staged attack but also because they have noticed movements from the Telamonic side. The Kivonian Army is now preparing their defenses on both the Nyberg island and the Bindeborg Proper. In major cities, such as the capital Kivonia and the city of Vermillion (Laugarbær), both being coastal cities, emergency defenses and troops are being deployed. No response from Hutori has been made, still it seems as if things are about to move quickly in the coming days.

Kivonian military responds to the Telamonic invasion
Kivonian Armies reorganize to fight back the invasion and the possible Hutorian involvement

The Military High Command has ordered a quick regrouping of the Grand Army forces around Kivonia. Some of the different corps stationed around the cities of Kyrmár (Kivonia: capital city) and Garðadalur (Vermillion) has been ordered to regroup towards the city of Hvolsverfi, where a larger number of corps will be awaiting them to once more regroup in different cities and towns near the Hutorian border. This decision has been made as a response to the Hutorian mobilization and possible entry in the war. Five corps in the city of Fladborg and four more in the city of Langrup has been ordered to reinforce the forces on the island of Nyberg and to push the invaders out of it. The Military High Command has confirmed that locals in different parts of Nyberg has volunteered for the Kivonian army and many in the occupied area has tried to resist their occupiers by destroying important infrastructure needed in case of Telamonic retreat, this in hopes of wiping out the enemy forces present there. It is confirmed that the regrouping of all sides will take a few days.

Regrouping of the Kivonian military forces: red is the Kivonian forces moving to different places, purple is the enemy held territory

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marianne Bruun, has stated in a press conference that the government of Kivonia will not waste time on the world congress, where the Telamonic government hopes to gain more support for their crusade of "liberation". Minister Bruun has instead pleaded for the people of the nation to prepare themselves for an aggressive attack by our hostile neighbors (Telamon and Hutori). At the same press conference, the Minister of Defense took the opportunity to state that the Air Force and the Navy will commit themselves to actively patrol all sides of Kivonian air space and waters, in cases of a sneak attack by the enemy. Despite their reassuring words, it seems as if neither the government nor the military high command is going to address the fact that Telamon outwitted the armed forces with their fake attack against the city of Vermillion, but instead the government and the high command seems to use the opportunity to maturely focus on the importance of the whole mess: the protection of the civilians.
