Nakai VLS used for first time off Kazulian coast

Postby wimpwampwomp » Sun Jul 04, 2021 4:47 am

Nakai Systems' Type 50 cruise missile launcher and VLS, which steamrolled all competition to win a government contract for missile launchers last August, was first used in combat today. At approximately 10:00 AM, Idōwa time, the Kawagiri-class guided missile destroyer HNF Yamazakura launched two JM12 Shio cruise missiles while being accompanied by its sister ships HNF Namikaze and HNF Asashimo. The Kawagiri had been fitted with the first production Type 50 in November last year. The design of the VLS, whose cells are made to rotate to a fixed launch position, allowed the missiles to fire less than a few seconds apart from each other, with the whole system taking up the space of a single normal VLS cell.

The missiles targeted a Rowiet Hyeokmyeong-class destroyer which was patrolling alone more than 400 kilometers north, near the Rowiet coast. The first missile destroyed the ship, and the second as a result lost its lock. The short space between the impact of the first and second did, however, continue on its trajectory and thus likely obliterated what was left of the destroyer.

For security reasons, the news was not released by the Imperial Navy, but Nakai Systems CEO Nakai Tanemoto was at liberty to make the announcement of the combat test's success in a speech on behalf of Nakai Systems in Idōwa at 4:00 PM today. The announcement was greeted with cheers of 'Banzai' from the audience, to the point that the rest of the speech had to be called off due to the general patriotic rambunctiousness.

Bianjie throws criminals at Imperial forces in Azumatochi

Postby wimpwampwomp » Mon Jul 05, 2021 3:13 pm

In Bianjie's latest desperate bid for victory against His Majesty's armed forces, it first used its coerced and bribed force of violent criminals - dubbed the 'Gangster Gang' by Gao-Sotoan soldiers - in combat in a desperate raid on Azumatochi's coast. A small brigade of convicts was deployed to an unnamed beach, where Imperial forces waited to annihilate them, alerted by their raucous approach.

The convicts forged up the beach in a disorganized manner, and Imperial forces achieved a decisive victory, managing to eliminate an amount of Bianjien troops.

However, the Imperial military in Azumatochi announced after the failed raid that it needs Azumatochi locals to report suspected undercover Bianjien operative-convicts.

The Borukusamuwaruzangu is a force of history; one that, unlike so many upheavals throughout history, is irreversible. Just as the dialectically-ordained synthesis of East and West in the form of the emergence of the Harusutorokanihiten could not be rolled back, neither can the completion of an absolute synthesis through the elimination of the old racial divides we are carrying out. Even five hundred years from now, when we are gone, it will remain.

If we are to force an end to the informal segregation that has polluted this land for so long, we can no longer remain passive; from now on, a dispensation from the office of the Genosu Fuyuarā will be required for a Hulstrian to have a romantic relationship with another Hulstrian or a Kunihito another Kunihito. While it is a mistake to define Harusutorokanihiten identity by mixed heritage, mass hybridisation will be an appreciable asset in ensuring the total abandonment of the two reactionary cultures.

[...]

Genosen! The Reich Congress of Workers' and Soldiers' Councils has, in perfect accordance with Genosu Fuyuarā Waisu-Nakamura, ordered the immediate formation of the Bando dā Ābaitā- ando Sōrudoētenjūgendo Mikuniharusutāraikusu, to consist of all youth in the country. To accomplish the dialectically-ordained fusion of East and West, instruction of the next generation - especially of the offspring of those who still cling to their 'pure' identities - will be required from birth.

Rowiets land in Budenlar

Postby wimpwampwomp » Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:44 am

Image
It was a sight one would never expect to see in a million years: a massive plume of horrid black smoke rising from a city, ravaged and ruined, on Imperial soil.

But that was what was in a striking image taken by press helicopters of the coastal town of Kakumesa, one of the many locations along the coast of Budenlar Prefecture that were invaded by Rowiet amphibious troops today. Despite the Imperial military's might and cunning, the communists somehow managed to secure an incredibly critical position - in the face of stiff Gao-Sotoan opposition, of course.

After a day of fierce fighting, Imperial forces ultimately had to withdraw to a more tactically advantageous position some distance inland, while the Rowiets engaged in an orgy of wild celebration mirroring that at home in the UCCR. The enemy's ecstasy was joined by animalistic brutality, as press correspondents have been reporting not only the execution of innocent Imperial civilians, but also the flattening of civilian townscapes, especially Kakumesa.

It gets worse. Rowiet people have been found to be celebrating these atrocities.

I, like my colleagues, exhort readers to resist this with your lives. We cannot have this be the future of Gao-Sotoan children. Our culture, our empire, our very people will be destroyed if we stand idly by. But even if all Imperials resist the invader to the last, our spirit will live on - and with it, Gao-Soto.

Long live the Emperor!

Tanigawa killed defending Fujiramoto

Postby wimpwampwomp » Tue Jul 13, 2021 12:58 pm

Coordinating Minister for Will Tanigawa Kazuki was killed at the age of 65 by Rowiets late last night. A unit of Rowiet paratroopers dropped into the resort town of Fujiramoto (Yokotori Subpre., Hilgar), a Kunihito cultural hub, while Tanigawa was in his villa there. He was hustled up to the hilltop Fujiramoto Shrine by his bodyguards and a detachment of troops and holed up in the inner sanctum, where multiple precious First Empire-era artifacts - including the armor of legendary uniter-samurai Iwanami Masayori, b. 1201 - were stored.

Rowiet soldiers made it up the hill to shrine grounds a few hours later when, an unidentified surviving bodyguard said, Tanigawa decided to don Iwanami's armor, then charged with a katana he found, yelling a cry of "Tennō heika banzai". He was reported to have been able to kill two Rowiet soldiers, caught off-guard, before being shot and killed by their squadmates. The Rowiets then stripped Tanigawa of his armor and disposed of his body in a nearby stream, never to be seen again.

The commander of the Rowiet unit sent a letter to Prime Minister Kidehi Chojo through the Red Cross informing him of Tanigawa's death, also sending some photographs of the corpse prior to its disposal as proof. Chojo announced the leading Sensen member's death this morning at 8:00 AM. A funerary procession was held with Tanigawa's iconic partner's desk in place of the body, attended by multiple thousand mourners and viewed on TV by millions. Chojo, who has assumed Tanigawa's old roles until a successor proper can be found, and Coordinating Minister for Functioning Ina Tomotada spoke at the burial. The Emperor sent a letter of condolences to Tanigawa's family.

The Imperial government has created a plan of action for if Tanigawa's remains are ever recovered: the desk, sealed in a new cenotaph of the Grand Imperial Mausoleum in Idōwa, is to be extracted and replaced with Tanigawa's remains, and taken to the Imperial Museum in Idōwa for preservation and public display.

Hulstria Now

June 23, 4985

It's done. Our party has passed the Empowerment Act in the wake of the NDP's still-unexplained dissolution, intending to ensure that whatever policy it proposes gets held back by bureaucracy no longer. Chairman Waryüd is Prime Minister. The worker shall move forward.
So then what?
This is a bold new age for Hulstria and Gao-Soto; one of uncertainty. Our Chairman is enlightened, that much is true. But he, frankly, is getting on in years at age 83, plagued with a chronic liver infection that he has thus far been staving off effectively but nonetheless continues to pose a risk to his health. He holds the Front together, and now the Front holds the nation together. So what will happen when the sad reality of the Chairman's mortality makes itself manifest?
We must therefore focus less on maintaining the power to protect the Hulstrian proletariat right now and more on training the next generation of loyal Waryüdists to carry on the Chairman's torch, now empowered by the Empowerment Act to do so. Hulstria faces a bo...
