Commanders' tent, Luthori Field Headquarters, South Talmoria
Admiral Sir Arthur Wessby banged his fist on the table:
"This is going too slow! We should have already beaten them three months ago!"
"The Loyalists have no regular forces here, they have been sending militia to fight against the Populists." said Commodore Garkins. All but one of the parties of the Talmorian civil war had been defeated by the Luthorians, the "Popular Republic of Talmoria", a desperately poor and underpopulated self-declared country in the east of Talmoria.
"I dont give a damn about that, tell them to get some troops here and fast!" yelled the angered admiral.
"Sir, General Scott Peterson an Commodore Andrew Harth are here!" announced a soldier who had just appeared
"Who the hell are they?" barked the admiral.
"Commanders of the XVIIth Gemini and IIIrd Marine Scarabus."
"Well about bloody time these gentlemen finally got here."
The admiral stepped out to see five whole Legions rapidly advancing east. With air support from the carriers, the "Popular Republic" would be destroyed in a matter of days, its armies slaughtered and its leaders executed.
"Garkins, get our boys to provide whatever air and naval support they need, tell our cruisers to fire everything they got before they get out of range. Minimal Luthori casualties is already too much, they dont like bodybags back home."
"Yes sir."
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' " -Ronald Reagan
