Auzuan-Polarian War

Chapter One:The Resource Rampage
The Auzuan Parliament was laden with a joint-session of both houses of the Legislature were seated at exquisite, sublime mahagony leather chairs.The Prime Minister arose from his seat at the front of the chamber's hemicycle. There was indistinct conversations among the members of parliament and the public, seated quietly in the galleries above the legislature floor. The entire room was still, none of the penguins in the room would try to speak, or move a muscle.

Prime Minister: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is to my greatest regret that I will have to formally announce that the oil resources in our country have been exhausted. The King, sends his uttmost anguish as he has experienced a personal event that he needs to attend to at this time. Alas, we shall move on from that. As we have no oil resources, as do any other Sub-Antarctic nations,  we need an alternative resource to oil and petroleum.

The crowd was displeased by the Prime Minister's comment. More conversations arose between the congregation, and the assemblage started to become unruly.

Prime Minister: "My penguins, my penguins! Please hear me! My cabinet has suggested to me that we use force and usurp the oil of the city of Puerto Elanor. Defense Minister Michael Dell has suggested that that city has little or no defenses, or any army whatsoever, Therefore, we shall commence sending troops, and tanks to the city. We will not rest, until we capture the city, and replemish our oil!"

The assembly erupted in euphoria, cheering and chanting "GO TO WAR!". They rose from their seats and commended the Prime Minister in his decision. However, one penguin, seated at the front row of the hemicycle was seated, and reserved unlike those around him. He was a blue penguin, sporting a silk tuxedo, black tie and silk tie. The penguin wore sunglasses, which had a hidden camera in them.

The feed from the hidden camera was broadcast into the LCD screen at the Polaris Legislative Congress chambers. The entire galleries were filled, all 2,300 of them. The 105 Councillors were sitting on their blue leather chairs, with all watching the feed on the large screen at the front of the PLC chamber. The Executive Administrative Council, Speaker of the House and secretaries who sat at the front and center of the Council chamber were watching on their icePads and laptop computers. The public sitting in the galleries and the councillors were all shocked. This was the same at the opposite wing of the Polaris Harborfront Center, where the Senate was shocked as well.

Chatter and converstaion came upon the galleries and council, worried about the safety of Polaris and Puerto Elanor. The mayor walked to the oak lectern with the seal of Polaris in the empty spce between him and the Vice President, seated at the left of the Speaker of the House, who sat on an elevated, blue-carpeted platform directly behind the lectern. The President of the EAC began to speak.

President: "Today, we are faced with the inevitable plan of an approaching conflict. Nevertheless, we will overcome this vile, reprehensible act of war. Citizens of Polaris, I promise you, should they lay a finger on your residence, we shall strike back with the force of a rain of falling arrows upon the penguins and puffles of the inferior nation of Azua Mostafique!"

The mass of penguins and puffles gathered in the room ruptured into ecstatic cheering, chanting and applause. The penguins cheered for over 3 minutes and slowly sat down. His speech was being broadcast to over 15 million viewers from Puerto Elanor to Polaris.

President:"We are planning to deploy 95% of our troops, with the other 5% being used to protect this glorious city. All but 3 of our 127 naval fleet, and 6 of the 7 aircraft carriers will be used to combat these abhorrent penguins. We will meet up with our allies, to help our city defend itself against these barbaric penguins!"

The president ended his speech and sat back down. A standing ovation was given to the President following his impromptu plan to combat the invading Azuans. The public sitting in their galleries exited their seats, on their way back to their residences, and the luxury shopping mall.

Back in Azua Mostafique, the country's top defense secretaries, the Prime Minister and the King were seated at a glass-topped conference table in the Azuan Parliament's second floor, north wing. They were in front of a video presentation, which planned the supposed invasion of Puerto Elanor.

Presenter: "Now, King Bezul, our plan is to use the Great Circle Route to allow 6 of our frigates and our destroyer to deploy troops into Puerto Elanor harbor. We may include a fueling stop at Frostborough. We may also fetch supplies, food and equipment for our 1,000 troops to enter the territory.

King Bezul: "Mr. DuPont, what about aircraft, will we exclude or scrap plans for our 4-member bomber division to carry out sorties in the area?"

Presenter: "We will not be using aircraft. Our aircraft have a limited range with their fuel, therefore the possibility is automatically eliminated."

Prime Minister: " I propose that we take over PolarOil' refining facility first. Our consul in Polaris has been notified that the petroleum refinement tanks and facility are situated within Puerto Elanor itself. We should also raise the Azuan flag over the legislature as well.

Defense Minister: "Agreed, your Honourable."

King Bezul: "Are all our weapons systems ready at the moment, im case of any shock-and-awe bombing in Bezul City soon?"

Defense Secretary One: "They are all ready. All missiles, anti-aircraft guns are all stocked and fully loaded.

Prime Minister: "Good. Those Polarians will never know what hit them."

All the penguins seated at the table laughed, and continued on with other plans with the war in their clandestine meeting in the Parliament. They drank numerous pots of coffee, among other things.

In Zurich, a telephone message was passed to one of Swiss Ninja's aides. One of the aides rushed down a checkboard-tiled, Renaissance-revival style throne room, where Swiss Ninja was anxiously waiting the news from his aide.

Aide: "Your majesty, the Polaris SAD]] has sent you this message, stating that the island country of Auzua Mostafique has planned to invade the Minerva Islands, Puerto Elanor and the oil reserves of Polaris."

Swiss Ninja: "This cannot be, aide. Polaris is our top importer of oil! I run my car on their oil, I eat food cooked with their natural gas. We cannot let them invade! I will have to go green, and that would be so, so tedious."

Aide:"So we shall help them?"

Swiss Ninja:"Yes aide, we shall aid them."

Meanwhile, another telephone message was passed to the receptionist of King Carlos Goberna II's Palace in Metido, Castilla. The Receptionist sent an aide who also immediately went to King Carlos's throne room.

Aide:"Your highness, Polaris sent us urgent news. They said that Auzua Mostafique is planning to invade teh Minerva Islands and Puerto Elanor for it's Oil Reserves."

King Carlos:"Well, our nation gets the majority of it's oil from Chavezuela....but wait...the Minerva Islands? Does that include the Castillan part as well?"

Aide:"Sí, mi Rey." (Yes, my King.)

King Carlos:"We are officially helping the Polarians! Those Auzuans can't possibly take our land without permission! Call in Clovis, Jock, and those two puffles and tell them they've got a mission ahead of 'em. It was only recently that the Snoss-Castillan War that we're stuck in another mess."

In the peaceful city of The Phigue in Batavia, the Polarians also called the aide of Queen Hooliana. The Aide casually walked into the queen's throne room, where she was having tea with other women of the royal court.

Aide:"Your magesty, the Polarians wish us to aide them in war. It appears, they say, that Auzua Mostafique is going to invade Puerto Elanor and the Minerva Islands for their oil reserves."

Queen Hooliana:"Well, this is quite startling. Don't we get our oil from them?"

Aide:"Yes, your magesty. It is also confirmed that Castilla and Snowzerland are joining together to help the Polarians."

Queen Hooliana:"Splendid. This is a rare occation, so why not? We shall supply all the Batavian soldiers the Polarians need."

Aide:"It is also appreciated that the Frankterrans get involved as well. There's also a meeting that you must go to on the 56th floor of the Polaris Harborfront Center. Everyone is going, and the president of Frankterre must come too. They reccomend that you arrive there as soon as possible, for it's said that the meeting is going to start tomorrow at 12:00 PM sharp."

Queen Hooliana:"Good. Get my private jet ready and inform the Frankterran President about this as well."

Along with Swiss Ninja, King Carlos, Queen Hooliana, and the President of Frankterre, other guests including Fisch Hochstadt, Kenny Kratz, and Sancho Monte Captio were invited to the meeting as well. That next day, everyone congregated in the PIBO Office on the 56th floor of the Polaris Harborfront Center. Nevertheless, not everyone was elated to see each other. SN and Fisch were already in a fight, as well as with King Carlos Goberna as well. The Snoss-Castillan War tore the nations' relationship quite a lot, and it was the unthinkable that the Snoss and the Castillans would ally with each other to stop the Auzuans. Luckily, Sancho, Queen Hooliana, and the President of Frankterre tried to calm everyone down before the meeting began.

Across the shiny, polished wooden conference table, Fisch and Swiss Ninja were vociferating at one another, about their own personal quarrel, whilst King Carlos began to bawl about his aversion to cooperation with Swiss Ninja. They were seated in blue leather swivel chairs, with the Polarian Defense Secretary and other representatives seated at the full 24-penguin conference table.

Sancho Monte Captio: "Your Majesties and Mr. Hochstadt, please remain reserved at the moment. We need to conduct this urgent business and plan our invasion of Puerto Elanor and Auzua. Should we not plan this out, our oil resources will be forevermore comprimised."

Upon hearing this, the leaders and all the other penguins instantly went back into a scene of order. The Polarian EAC President, Kenny Kratz was seated at the head of the table, while the Defense Minister was seated at the other end. The Mayor has a small lectern in front of him, flanked by a 54' inch LED television behind him.

Kenny Kratz: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Defense Committee, I would like to cordially welcome our distinguished guests, His Majesty Swiss Ninja Hochstadt of Snowzerland, His Royal Highness Carlos the Second of Castilla, Her Majesty Hooliana of Batavia, the Honorable President of Frankterre, and Fisch Hochstadt of the Hochstadt Gang. We would like to ask you to take this challenge as a away to resolve month-old, maybe years-old hostilities and work enthusiastically with one another.

Swiss Ninja: "President Kratz, in exchange for providing militaristic assistance to your city, what will you give to us?"

Vice President: "Your Majesty, the Polaris City Council has approved a 6.9 billion Fish budget, which will be supplanted by the funds of the Kratz and Monte Captio families. The 6.9 billion Fish will be equally segregated among the four nations aiding us. This would equate to approximately 2.25 billion Fish in oil, technology, aircraft and lump sums to each country.

Defense Secretary: "Unfortunately, we Polarians are restricted and forbidden to participate in war without consent, written or verbal from the South Pole Council. Our 87 naval fleet and 156 aircraft, in addition to 360,000 troops are under the behest of the federal government. That is why we require other nations, who may freely govern themselves, to do such."

Queen Hooliana: "Very well then, I am committing 56,000 troops, 120 tanks, 8 frigates, 3 missile destroyers and 1 aircraft carrier, as well as 80 aircraft, including 18 bombers from Batavia. My penguins and puffles look up to your city, which is very efficient, clean and wealthy. In fact, your oil supplies 87.5% of our needs each year! Therefore, I have a good enough reason to deploy my forces into the Auzua."

King Carlos: " I am committing 176,000 troops, 210 tanks, 19 frigates, 9 missile destroyers, 6 submarines, 5 minesweepers, 5 aircraft carriers and 18 patrol ships. Inshall also provide 190 aircraft, 60 of whom are bombers. We share a very close bilateral relationship, as the penguins of thisncity have helped us in countless ways, that even I cannot list."

Swiss Ninja: "I shall also commit 200,700 troops, 340 tanks, 29 frigates, 18 missle destroyers, 6 submarines and 2 aircraft carriers. My nation shall also provide you with 230 aircraft in total. We are also providing long-range missile launchers."

President Kratz: "At this very moment, I intend to present to you our tenative plan for the Coalition retaliation against the pugnacious Auzuan forces."

Abruptly, a map of Antarctica and Auzua with Puerto Elanor and Polaris' locations identified in a sanguine red, and Auzua in a deep-dandelion yellow. The islands of Snowzerland, Castilla and Batavia were highlighted in Blue, Green and Magenta. Dashed-lines, representing aircraft, led from Castilla and Snowzerland to the southeast tip of Auzua, Bezul City on the LCD screen

Defense Secretary: "So, our plan is to commence a shock and awe strategy. This startegy would quicken our air superiority, as well as our ground and naval superiority as well. Therefore, we will iniate a series of bombing sorties over the capial city, targeting Bezul City International Airport, the main base for the country's air force and Bezul City Naval Harbor, which houses all the naval ships belonging to their military. in addition, our resources have pinpointed the tank bases, and the locations of anti-aircraft gun turrets.

Swiss Ninja: "Will the fiends and their consuls be expelled from Polaris? I really didn't like Auzua anyway. They think that their old 1946-era bombers can beat anything."

Vice President:"Of course they shall be banished from the Latitude Plaza building. They could have infiltrated the PHC for all I know."

King Carlos: " At which port may we base our naval and air units?"

Defense Secretary: "We intend to use the ports of Snowville, Enderby City, Ard Mhaca, Ciudad Vieja, Penguville, Solace, Mistral and Alpha Island. They can easily fit all of your naval vessels. However, we will place units in Shiverpool, the South Shetland Islands and on Middle Island."

Queen Hooliana: "When will the invasion begin?"

President Kratz: "According to our reconaissance penguin who gave us feed from the Prime Minister's address has told the PIB that the Puerto Elanor invasion will start on July 13, 2011 and ships shall be placed near the area on July 8th."

Vice President: " We're also using 15 Snowing 747-400, each with 390 passengers. Each passenger is allowed 1 large suitcase. In 69 days, all 602,000 of the city of Puerto Elanor will be back on the mainland."

The battle strategy was finished by 12:35 AM, after 7 hours of incessant, ceaseless comversations and intense neogtiations. The Polarians began evacuating citizens from Puerto Elanor into nine emptty condominium towers in Rogerston, Polaris. Many aircraft arrived at Polaris-Rogerston International Airport and Polaris-City International Airport, with two Snowing 747-400s arriving in Puerto Elanor at 3:48 AM that night.

The Mayor then began a televised city-wide address to his penguins and residents, from his private office in the Polaris Harborfront Center. Kratz was flanked by a large Polarian seal and the view of the Polaris Capitol District.

Mayor: "To the citizens of the sublime, wondrous city of Polaris, it is to my great regret that the City of Polaris, along with the Imperial Empire of Snowzerland, the Kingdom of Castilla, the Republic of Frankterre and The Kingdom of Batavia have formally decared war on the island nation Auzua Mostafique. Our intelligence resources have found that the Auzuan penguins pose a perilous threat against the penguins of Puerto Elanor and the Juno Islands. The repugnant and vile government of Auzua Mostafique is in cahoots to capture our beloved oil and natural gas resources, which we Polarians will not take lightly at all! We will show them a formidable force of penguins, that will defeat and eradicate the military of the diminutive nation! At this time, we will ask that all Puerto Elanorian residents stay in their residences until the invasion commences. The Polarian givernment will ship 1.9 billion in aid to the city as soon as needed! The Polarian government promises each penguin 1,250 Fish in food, water, television and internet access in their condominium buildings, purchased and commisioned by the city of Polaris. We will provide free-of-charge housing to the penguins as well. Thank you, and long live the city of Polaris!"

---

The subsequent morning, a fleet of Auzuan naval ships, eleaded by the AMS Bezul, a formidable destroyer used in numerous battles by the Auzuans. Seven ships, five frigates and another two destroyers were approaching the southern coast of Puerto Elanor. The ships were headed in a chevron formation, and were pointed directly towards Puerto Elanor harbor.

Commander: "Gentlemen, man the battle stations. We expect retaliation by the enemy force. Load all 600 troops onto loading dock."

As a result, the penguins onbaord the ANS Bezul pointed their 12 millimeter machine guns and their missile launcher at the city of Puerto Elanor, whose glass towers shined brightly in the early morning sun.
