MoFA - The Air Strike
Australian Foreign Affairs
G'day Aussies,
Well as some of you may have seen we have declared and passed in senate a proposal for an AirStrike on Finland. I know some of you will be surprised that we are 'attacking' an ally from Asgard, an alliance on very friendly terms with our own - LETO. However this is exactly the same situation as our holiday in Jizan and we are just launching an agreed AirStrike on Finland so we can relocate for a while.
Of course this will lose us quite a few of our Mutual Protection Pacts as what happens when you launch the first attack on a country that shares certain MPP's, but what this AirStrike will give us are a couple of rented regions to sit back and grow. This in turn will hopefully see double the seats available to the top five parties in Senate that we currently have. So more seats, more senators, more work for our Party Presidents and more reason for our citizens to get involved. Where we failed with Jizan was sadly not being allowed a second region as protection but this has been agreed straight from the word 'go' this time.
Remember this AirStrike has been discussed and agreed with Finland and Asgard and is not a hostile action but your support in the battle landing the AirStrike is obviously vital. This is nothing more than a friend helping another friend.
So are we abandoning Australia's core regions? Well having one of the games most organised Alliances on your doorstep doesn't help, and of course if we rid ourselves of one 'guest' there are two others lining up to take advantage of those liberated regions. But...but...recently Aurora have offered us an olive branch and we have had talks about the return of one of our regions. Now we won't lie when we say we were astounded when Indonesia approached us about giving us Western Australia back, especially after Indonesia and Aus have a long history of hostility. Let's be honest this is a game and Indonesia are far more powerful than we are, in fact so are all our occupiers and we are short of powerful allies on our borders, so by approaching us first is quiet a generous offer if we are honest.
So talks will continue but in the meantime you will have seen Aurora countries reset our determination bonus recently...and one is still going on, now to stop the NE process we will lose Western Australia in the next few days but this will be RW back to us. We have been handed Western Australia as an act of faith by Aurora while we are discussing an Non Aggression Pact and assured we will have a senate this month even if our AirStrike fails.
So as soon as details are ironed out you will be informed you 'orrible lot.

Best of luck o7
Pity this was not published two days ago - would have made Australia's battle orders of two days ago more sensible.
Couldn't publish it two days ago BOUD1CCA.. UK are going to go after us in Scandinavia... We couldn't afford to let the plans leak too much, in the event that they plan to stop our AS... Because we have reason to believe that they will come after us...
Have a look at this article
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-valtio-tiedottaa-australian-ilmaisku-2423903/1/20
FROM TWO DAYS AGO !!!
The only people that do not know are the Australian public. The UK are probably laughing too much at us to be able to stop the secret air strike.
Your Duty is to keep us informed and you only just get around to informing us 3 hours ago.
You are talking out of your arse Infowars. And you voted for his comment Hugh. Are you lot uncaringly arrogant or just blisteringly incompetent??
I should have looked at the Finnish news as soon as I read that comment from J Seemore. But strangely I trusted you.
And you did not advise the Knighthawks MU, despite all your talk about involving & coordinating Australian MUs.
Pity you don't put as much effort into running Australia as you did into neutralising whoever you see as opposition Infowars.
BOUD1CCA Do you know what that article is actually about? They had to publish that to get an emergency vote put in to their congress for us to launch the strike. Because of shifting political and geological events, things go unexpected. We planned to AS Norway, when it came time to push the button, it had slipped our minds that you can't attack someone who you have an MPP with.. We had an MPP with Sweden so, the only option was to attack Finland seeing that we have no MPP with them.. As we didn't expect to win SA, and without a region you can't launch the strike, we had to act quick before aurora resets determination.. We contacted Finland for permission.. They needed 21 votes in their senate.... They had to publish that to inform the senators to vote 'yes''. And btw that article didn't exactly make international headlines..
I told military command, including Knighthawks everything they needed to know, exactly when they needed to know...
I wasn't going to put this out on the headlines 2 days ago to help prepare UK against us... No way... The Finnish article is just an article telling their Congress to vote 'yes' for us to Airstrike them..
Yes, I know what the article is about, I read it with the help of Google translate. It is an article addressed to the Finnish public - if it was just to their Congress it would have been done privately.
The article, following articles & comments to the article give as much information as yours does. Of course the UK would have been aware of it - being European news. As I said, the only people who did not know were the Australian public - why? Because you don't trust them or is it you have scant regard for them. I am more angry than I should be because I have thrown away damage in Australia that may have been more effectively used in Scandanavia - it is down to you Infowars,
I can understand your concerns but the CP opened up a Military Council thread which included all MU Commanders who have been informed of what is going on every step of the way. Obviously some information is sensitive between Cabinet and Senate but some things we couldn't go public with but your MU should really be keeping you guys informed as well.
Well Hugh if that is the case our MU Commanders have let us down. But coming back to the point - the airstike is public news, and old news at that.
Details with other Asgard nations were being finalised so we couldn't release any details until now. Also we needed to get Asgard, Leto and Asteria military support, arrange times of the strike to suit our allies who will be putting in the vast majority of the damage. All the time senate and the nations MU commanders and second commanders were being kept up to date...ask Lany and Ronny.
Trust me this is a complicated AS and not just landing it and paying rent, like Jizan it required a lot of detail and scurrying around beforehand but this one involves more nations...and there are other nations involved as you'll see in a few days time when the dust has settled and we have our rented regions in place.
Louise, I told all the military unit commanders where to put damage all week.. We have been putting out all week battle orders.. You still wasted damage with the determination resets with aurora.... We can't tell people not to fight there, even though it is pointless except for TP damage... We can only recommend where to fight according to LETO/Asteria prio and Australian intel on wars which affect us directly, such has the Norway/Lithuanian, Norway/UK wars which we have been telling the public to fight all week..
BTW, please vote this article:

and subscribe to the above ^ article
Thank god this is now well under way so the general public can see the update on what is going on.
If this came out earlier then loose lips sink ships, could of been an issue for eAustralia.
FFS you really believe that?
Yes

This is a conspiracy theory.
The real reason behind the AS is that Santa put us on the naughty list. We are setting base camp in Finland to advance on the Pole! Rudolf's time is up!
I've seen some of those Finnish guys and I'm quite ready to be warmed up by them.
Trouble is don't understand Finnish & don't really trust Google translate 🙁

is Ripperi going to fight with or against us? I cannot tell from his comment
Being no 1 player in Finland makes his opinion important
Ripperi is the Finnish CP, we have his full support. He has ordered all Finnish forces to fight for us.
That is something at least, I could not understand his comment - it seemed to be saying fight against Australia
"Fight with the Australian side of the air strike. Battling requires a change from the Finnish regions of Australia or Taiwan."
That's the translation (Google)
Ripper "wrong direction. Let's fight the Australian side. Frankfurters and the bucks will begin to move when the war begins."

infowar what part of Finland will you be exactly taking ? because a lot of the countries there might see you as a easy target and attack you including my own country..... i suggest you attack Lapland it seems like the best choice and hopefully no one will bother you there
We have made a little peace with aurora lately.. The biggest threat is the UK..
i bet you this is because of the ashes
No it's because they have had a habit of electing arseholes lately.
good luck

Not being a member of the parliament I haven't had the luxury of information on this hut a big thanks to the Foreign Affairs Ministry for filling us in. From a political and military standpoint I have to process this and no doubt will have some questions for the Government later tonight my time. Would the President object to this an if not who could I chat to about that?
Cheers
Nathan
President of KHMC
Sorry about the typos I'm on me bloody Samsung heading out in the boat
