BORDERS CLOSED AS HULSTRIA TIGHTENS ITS GRIP
September 4298
Hulstria has officially closed the borders of Ostland to deter any attempts by the Security Council to send troops and support personnel into the plague-ravaged country.
All recognised land routes from Kazulia, Sekowo and New Verham are now being heavily guarded by Hulstrian troops backed up by the forces of Ostland's dictator General Dietrich Hohenstein, who invited his neighbours from the Imperial Crownlands into his country following a military coup.
Imperial Chancellor Leopold Nimitz said that any attempt to cross the borders would be met by force and that Reichsheer soldiers and their Ostland compatriots had shoot to kill orders, if necessary.
Furthermore, any citizens of nations backing intervention discovered in either Hulstria or Ostland would be arrested immediately.
Among the troops deployed in Ostland by Hulstria are the 5th and 8th armoured brigades, the 38th mechanised infantry brigade and several Greater Hulstrian brigades (mainly made up of conscripts and lesser equipped infantry) - a total of around 47,000 personnel.
Herr Nimitz has claimed that Hulstria has the situation in Ostland contained and that any interference would only help to spread the plague. He added that the actions of the Security Council 'Big Five' were those of self-centred imperialists and Hulstria was there to defend the interests of third world nations.
“I venture to suggest that patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
