~Australia, We Will Win~
•
by Benn Dover
America, Australia, Soldiers, Citizens of eRepublik, I do not know where to begin expressing my feelings. I feel exhausted, but wanting for more. I feel organized, but internationally unorganized. I feel proud of my soldiers, but incomplete towards our alliance. PEACE has prevailed in this long-awaited for battle of epic portions. While many of you ask "what now", many of you ask "why?".
To answer the former- regroup. We need to reorganize and plan our next attack. Australia WILL overcome. Soldiers, come back home.
To answer the latter- for national pride, for international pride, for alliance pride; for courtesy, respect, empathy towards those who have lost, sympathy for your brethren; for GLORY.
Even though a lack of organization may be the ultimate collapse of this war, a lack of pride was never questioned. We will regroup, rebuild, and finally retry. Mistakes were made, experience was gained, wisdom was wrought, success is inevitable. Organization will not be a factor in Round Three.
The countries that have witnessed how close we came to tearing down this wall will once again work as a team and prevail over the Indonesians and PEACE. Pro-Australians- Keep your heads high. Don't give up. Surge through the pain, get back up like the Phoenixes you are, and fight back.
Atlantis will prevail over the unsympathetic PEACE nations, Australia will win.
Congratulations are for the successful. Regards are for the deserving.
Highest Regards,
Benn Dover
President of the eUnited States of America

A Great Article Benn, and might I add this to those out there who oppose us.
For too long has Indonesia and the PEACE nations been oppressing the Australians. For too long has their power been absolute, but this is going to change. I tell you this, Our country is strong, Our Alliance is United, and our resolve is unwavering. Australia will be a free country once again.
Justinious
Vice President of The eUnited States of America
Couldn't have said it better myself, Justinious.
I thank all of eUsa, Atlantis, aswell as all the men (and women) who fought for and with Australians such as myself, even though we were unsuccesful, I have full confidence in our allies and the eUS and am sure they will not leave us under oppression.
Thankyou for your aid this first battle.
great article, you sure know how to motivate people.
better luck next time.

next time we will be stronger
yes good speech, i thank all for their contribution, eventually when we r able to start again, i hope it will be more coordinated, 1 of the main reasons the war was lost i believe, was because most of the forces were in a different time zone then the main bulk of the enemy.
Nice speech Benn.
The help was appreciated, that's for sure 🙂
Why not you try to set up talk between Indonesians and Australians?
Indonesian tried to set up talks before, but failed, perhaps USA could?
very nice speech benn dover, shame the president cant fight in wars anymore, doesnt matter we will be back. (insert evil grin here)
I salute you sir. We shall be free.
I was over there fighting and I've been to almost all the other resistance wars fighting for eUSA´s allies. So for the last maybe 7 days I've spent all my money on gifts, high-quality food, weapons, moving tickets and 1 or 2 wellness packs. So now I'm all out of money, therefore I ask if anyone could be so kind and send a couple of gifts so I can recover faster.
Epic Fail for Atlantis, but lets kick some ass´s 😃
Everyone.. this is a game. We have shown the best from both sides. I personally respect to our rival who fought with best, and I sorry too if I ever said something that made you offended, especially for you zaney 🙂
And for danny my friend as president of Sweden, Final Destiny, Ben Dover, emerick, and many other friends from other side, hope this wont change our friendship.
And for Indonesian, thank you for showing how big your love to your country. But please dont put personal on this, this is only a game 🙂.
And for admin, hope you give bonus to both Australia or Indonesia, because we have give you a good show of drama lol.
God bless everyone!
il come to fight agin
It was really an incredible battle ... but a proof that union and organization well done makes the difference. ; D
And for this that I say: never underestimate your opponent. : D
Kisses in the ass ;*
this battle was one the most agressive battles in the History of V1 and for that I congratulate every one of you who took part in it!
Good job Indonessia but I worry that you will be able to keep Australia forever 😉
This was a legendary battle, and one of the most brutal efforts of goodwill in the history of Erepublik. I thank all those who fought along side me in this effort, and especially those who fought throughout the day, using their wealth to help tear the wall down that separated Australians from their freedom.
The longer we wait the lower our chances of liberating Australia. We may want time to gift everyone back up but our advantage over indonesia is that we have more fresh people. We can not give them time to lick their wounds. We need to send over our fresh troops ASAP. If we don't then we can not win the war.
The experience of fighting was well worth losing health and losing two moving tickets.
Dear Benn, do you consider "the Indonesians" as you mentioned apply to all Indonesians?
And I do not understand what do you mean by "an entire nation" in your last sentence, is it the Australian nation?
How about the soverignity of the nation of Indonesia then? Is it not as important also?
Nonetheless, I did fight against the resistance, simply because the resistance itself was against the sovereignity of Indonesia: New South Wales is officially a region of Erepublik of Indonesia.
However, is that mean Australia cannot receive its freedom? Not all Indonesians are against independent Australia. In fact, most were supporting it.
It's just when someone threatened us and attacked us, we will defend.
@indonesians. You were lucky you only engaged a few ATLANTIS troups(only 1% of ATLANTIS full potential).If all US,Romanian,Swedish citizens were to fight ,i doubt you would be on the map.
Onwards to the next war for Australia.
Nice words. Looking forward to the next battle.
@Isnuwardana:
Australia is a nation. If you refuse to accept their presence as an independent faction then you truly don't care about them. They are self-defined, they are cultural, and judging by how they react to the rest of the Indonesians (and yes, I consider all Indonesians when making this generalization), I'd say they are socially independent but only restricted by a single-minded government.
If you truly did support Australia's independence, then you would have given their territories back for free, just like Norway, Sweden, and Romania did. It is sad that the PEACE countries are so desperate for land that they cannot mentally afford the allowance of independent nations, such as Switzerland, Australia, etc.
If you consider "New South Wales" to be a 100% Indonesian territory, then you obviously don't accept Australians for who they are - Australians.
I got it from 99 votes to 100. Cheers to whoever makes it 101 🙂
@Benn dover
If Australia can guarantee they wont join Atlantis , we can guarantee their independence, why should we let them free just to become our enemies, we rather fight them.
hei hei hei we have right to keep stabilitation in east world , so we offer ausie to be Neutral, PEACE or War, we are really glad to help ausie economy n other issue.. we are really angry at last negoitation, DON'T CONTROL US , especialy threat about ATLANTIS.. so we must n must emphatic about this issue. . now you know , all people of the world , all ATLANTIS , who we are.. THIS IS INDONESIA. THIS IS PEACE!
Nice engrish speech MasduQ, but I question you - is Slovakia Atlantis? Is Finland Atlantis? Is Poland Atlantis? No, but at least we gave them a chance to choose, rather than enslaving them both socially, militarily, and economically.
this is strategic game benn, really damn stupid if us not worry about that.
hei dont you know? ausie got same wage, hospital q4 like other eIndonesia citizen, n we have program to reduce our cultural gap (billingual article) , although wee need to improve that .
Why don't you just facilitate a neutral talk than discuss something same thing over and over...
@at least trying to cool down your head...
@Junmisugi: Are you critisizing our president? That's a great way to get flamed. FLAME. Now go have a fungy or something.
@oarecare
so where's another 99% of ATLANTIS ???
are they doing homework at RL or they got punished coz wearing mommy underwears.
[this is come from my opinion]
Indonesia had done everything for aussie...
start from the diplomacy that take long-long time and finally it turned down by the australian itself... and
as n3m0 says that we try to decrease the gap by anything we can... but what is the respond? they called us(Indonesia) as greedy nation, greedy people... etc...
think... if all of you in Indonesia's position... you've done all you can and what you get is just an insulting statements...
i wanna tell people to view from another point of view...
i appreciate all aussie soldier who want to fight for freedom you've shown us you are a patriot and natinalist, but still there is another aussie people that can only talk talk and talk but i've never seen him on the battlefield... you know who is this boy just make another flame comment...
finished.

@ben
Where are you all this time? Dont you see we have working on this issue for months? Do you know that most of us support their independence before I got elected?
Its you who spread that hates among us. Please dont use Australia for your own agenda.
I was trying to respect you, but seem my offer is too high.
I could be the worst president ever in this world, I dont mind if you said that, but I knew that Indonesian have shown that no one can threat the sovereignty of Indonesia.
@benn :
"Nice engrish speech MasduQ, but I question you - ....."
well, at least most of indonesians understand english better than you understand bahasa indonesia.
@isnu : setuju. gw setuju lepas bbrp region oz (dah omong bbrp kali nih ttg ini), tp mereka asli sombong pisan, pake bawa2 atlantis segala. diajak jadi persemakmuran indonesia, nolak (padahal di RL, kepala negara aja masih ratu eli). nah, skrg sebagian orang yg dulu setuju lepas oz, jadi mikir balik. gw pribadi masih ok lepas bbrp region, asal bbrp syarat yg kita minta dulu itu, mereka ok.
ttg amrik, ga usah diurus, wong ini urusan indo-oz. mereka mah ikut campur doang, ribut abis kalah aja
lol Ausfailia.
There's no good alliance and bad alliance, PEACE and ATLANTIS both have imperialists countries with real countries under their domain, Australia, Switzerland, India and China on one side and Germany, Russia, Ukraine, part of Hungary, Denmark, Netherlands on the other.
The difference between Polish and Australians' resistance war is that Poland will become a Swedes ally but Indonesia knows the aussies will join ATLANTIS (and Romania, USA, Spain won't let slip away the opportunity to have a new ally full of natural resources). Many Indonesians want (wanted) to free Australia, but none of them wants an enemy as a neighbor. The Australians could have shown them that they could become a good friend, an ally and a good economical partner but sure ATLANTIS doesn't want this to happen.
Indo, stop trying to play the good parent card, because that's not the case.
Your presidents have been ignoring Zaney for a long time, and I say presidents as a plural because I'm implying that it's not just one, but many that have done it. That's how much you 'care' about Australia.
So, to sit there and say, "Yes we initiated the talks and set everything up, then Australia simply declined, is a complete and utter lie.
Further more, any such "talks" you initiated was for the release of 2 - 3 minor regions with no real value.
Speaking on behalf of the UK here, as an official representative as Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will tell you now, that regardless of what you think, you will not be holding on to Australia for long.
i'm here to fight! We must win next time
..*yawn*....there's going to be a new resistance war ?....*yawn*....
wowss.... next resistance war?
yeah...do other resistance war!
@Squiddy
what do you know about Indo - Aussie talk? are you there? do you know what's the talk about? you talked like you know everything, even you say that the talk is just a lie. how pity. now i get it, Aussie tell the wrong thing to their ally, or like that, to gain respect and help. HAHAHAHAH, pity. 😃
Hail Indonesia! Hail PEACE!
stupid atlantis
lol
great article benn. we'll win next time. i'm proud to be part of ATLANTIS
I guess there is only one way to help Australia. I recommend that president dover should consult with president The_mihai of Romania,Danny of Sweden,and Pruden of Spain and declare war on Indonesia.The romanian hungarian war ,proved that only if massive troops are deployed(over 3000 romanian soldier fought in that war),one can emerge victorious.The US alone ,has an army of over 4000 soldiers.If we add Romania,Spain and Sweden we have over 8000 troops and can free all of the australian lands from Indonesia.
