[Kravenn] About conflict in UK, Interview with all protagonists (part 2)

Day 2,473, 08:58 • Published in Albania Greece • by Kravenn

Hello Everybody

Some days ago, I decided to to interview all protagonists involved on the UK conflict.

They all agreed to be interviewed. I picked Canadian MoFA, UK MoFA, Finnish MoFA (who represented Asgard), French CP, Israel CP and CP of Norway.
They all know that other protagonists were contacted, they all received different questions (questions are linked to their country), they ignore questions of other protagonists.

On part 1 : I published interviews of French CP, Canadian MoFA and Finnish MoFA (who represent Asgard).

Going to interviews

I made a small change concerning eUK : To avoid 5 views opposed to them, I decided to interview both MoFA. In that case, they both received same questions.

I’d like to mention these interviews were made on the beginning of the conflict (Sunday to tuesday).

Goal of my interview articles isn’t to say : XXX is evil or XXX has right but show different views of a conflict. It’s up to you to make your own opinion.

Now let’s go with remaining interviews :
For UK : WookieO and NWG (Both are MoFA)
For Norway : Joshua Morrisseau (CP)
For Israel : New Faustian Man (CP)




Keep in mind the 2 UK MoFA received same questions

Interview with NWG (MoFA)

Hi N W G,
Currently you are the eUK MoFA and that’s the reason why I decided to contact you about current events in your country.

1- During the month, Wayne (eUK CP) decided to attack Picardy (France) to gain fruits. Following that : a Training war was launched with Norway (mainly because admins added missions). But after a week : Norway launched another Natural enemy law. What is the cause of that Natural enemy law ? (when a removal was more expected) ?

Im not sure, There has been very little information coming from the Norway CP. We actually had wanted the fighting to be over alot quicker than it has been but despite our advise on how to end the war quickly, norway seem to have been trying to keep it going for weeks longer than it should have.

The Training war should only have lasted a week and we had wanted it finished long ago. I can only assume that for the last 2 weeks norway wanted to carry on the fighting and this is why they sent there own NE after we have been trying to stop the fighting with them.

2- Even if eUK won most of campaigns against Norway (no core region caught), several battles were hard to win. It’s a change if we compare to some months ago. What could be the reasons ? Less firepower (or support) on eUK side ? Norway who was able to gain more firepower from their allies ?

Well quite simply it was supposed to be a training war that would last around a week. Of course with training wars there normally is no need to get outside help. However it seems when it was almost close to ending the conflict, Norway started adding CO’s, starting RW’s and calling on friends to help and thus delaying the end to the fighting for nearly 2 weeks now.

3- This sunday, you receive a couple of Natural enemy laws (Canada - Sweden - Finland) and also an airstrike from Israel. Do you have any idea why (in some hours) you received these threats ?
If Yes, what could be the cause.

Well the more time has gone on the more i have learnt about some nations not really telling the truth on recent event. Apparently is seems some nations was even told that we was trying to wipe Norway for congress. Which of course it not true, we planned for this to have been over long ago.. So i can only assume that if these rumours are floating around then this might be a reason why Sweden, Finland, Canada have planned a Co-ordinated assault, im not sure about frances intentions but i have been told they made there own plans unaware of Asgards intentions.

All i can say is what has been said before, Norway asked us to end the war as quickly as possible when we tried to do this suddently actions from norway meant it carried on for weeks longer than it should have. I still dont know why Norway Gov said one thing to us and then acted in another but only their CP can answer that.

Thank you for your time

And now

Interview with WookieO (MoFA)

Hi WookieO,
Currently you are the eUK MoFA and that’s the reason why I decided to contact you about current events in your country.

1- During the month, Wayne (eUK CP) decided to attack Picardy (France) to gain fruits. Following that : a Training war was launched with Norway (mainly because admins added missions). But after a week : Norway launched another Natural enemy law. What is the cause of that Natural enemy law ? (when a removal was more expected) ?

Hi there and yes, it’s definitely been a busy old month so far, with still more to come I’m sure.

Well with the missions upon us earlier this month, we knew we needed someone to battle with and France had just regained Picardy. It was inevitable that they would eventually attack the eUK, simply because that’s what the French do! So we got our Natural Enemy proposal in first and were able to wipe out the French threat.

Following that we still needed a more prolonged war to enable eUKers to finish their missions. Training wars with Ireland and Belgium were initially thought of, but those nations had already sorted out who they were fighting, so we turned to Norway and asked them to NE us even before we’d finished with France, so that we could have a nice training war. Unfortunately the Norwegian CP dilly dallied and it ended up with the right honourable WayneKerr having to set the NE proposal otherwise the time would have run out for the missions.

Once the missions were over the idea was for Norway to win back their regions and we would’ve ended up with everyone having their own land back. However Norway then launched the latest NE against us and we were back at war! The word on the street was that Norway were peeved that the eUK hadn’t been fighting tooth and nail for Norway to win back their regions, but we were very happy for them to take them off our hands, there were in fact more pressing issues we would’ve liked to deal with back at home. These days it should be relatively easy for a country to regain a region through a Resistance War, especially if the opposing nation isn’t setting COs or campaigning there. It seems though that Norway were incapable of this, which is unfortunate for them, but not a problem the eUK should be saddled with.


2- Even if eUK won most of campaigns against Norway (no core region caught), several battles were hard to win. It’s a change if we compare to some months ago. What could be the reasons ? Less firepower (or support) on eUK side ? Norway who was able to gain more firepower from their allies ?

It was a much more hard fought campaign than usual against the Norwegians this is true. There were a few factors involved here. Firstly there weren’t as many direct wars ongoing during this period, much of the fighting was happening in RWs. Therefore Norway gained a lot of MPP support, especially from Serbia who (if I remember correctly) had the Norway war as CotD at one point. Plus because it was ‘only’ Norway, we didn’t feel it necessary to call for ‘official’ support from our allies. Although, as is always the case, many of them did still help us a lot and we are naturally always grateful for that solid support from all of our friends.

3- This sunday, you receive a couple of Natural enemy laws (Canada - Sweden - Finland) and also an airstrike from Israel. Do you have any idea why (in some hours) you received these threats ?
If Yes, what could be the cause.

Yes this weekend was extremely exciting with multiple fronts opening up, as some of our regular foes decided to once again ‘gangbang’ the eUK! Canada just can’t help themselves I’m afraid, it’s a love - hate relationship we have with our moose loving friends across the pond, they just can’t get enough of our fine country. As has become the norm with Canada though, they are unable to direct a war against us without bringing in some friends. This time though they went above and beyond previous campaigns, calling not only Sweden but Finland, Israel and even France have gotten in on the act now too!

The eUK is relishing the whole kit and caboodle and with a flag flourishing roar from CP WayneKerr we’ve managed to stop the Israeli airstrike from landing, halted the Finnish in their tracks and we even have advantage against the French as I type. So all in all everyone is finding this war a hoot and we look forward to reaching the point where we’ve seen off everyone else and can finally direct all our attention to the Canucks. I hear September in Newfoundland is rather lovely 😉

Thank you for your time
Kravenn

It’s been a pleasure. Always happy to answer any questions regarding the eUK or anything else in fact.

Interview with Joshua Morrisseau (CP)

Hi Joshua Morrisseau

I know that you probably don’t know me a lot but I would like to interview you about the current conflict where your country is involved (against eUK). My goal is to interview all protagonist to offer an unbiased view of that conflict

1- Recently, I read on different medias that a Training war was organised between your country and eUK. Could you tell me more about it ?

I was contacted by the UK CP asking me to NE them to complete the most recent round of missions. However the Norwegian Congress did not like the idea and did not trust the UK. I was told by the British CP that if I did not NE them, that they would just NE us anyways which is what happened, however after the “TW” there was no attempts made to finish the war. I was told by the British CP that it was difficult to help us win because we were “no match” for them even though we had been winning rounds as well. Previous UK Governments and CP’s have worked with us to end wars many times, I don’t see why this time would be any different.

Also something interesting to mention, when our MoFA (Kesha Winehouse) contacted the UK MoFA to try to sort everything out, he told us that he had no clue what was going on with the war whether it was even a TW or a real war. I believe it was nothing more than a first time CP trying to prove his worth. However it has been nothing but a testament to how bad the British seem to conduct foreign affairs using bullying tactics and fear mongering.

2- About a week later, on your medias : I saw that some people have doubts on eUK’s intentions but when people waited to see the Training war stopped. eNorway launched a natural enemy law against eUK. How and why this decision was taken ?

We launched the NE because we learned of their lies and they intended to invade us. It was very amusing how their “TW” was launched just before Lithuania attempted to AS us so that we were not able to NE Lithuania.

3- Few months ago, eUK had almost no issues to invade your country. Now, we often see Combat orders on eUK side and final score of a campaign like 85-60. What are your thoughts about that ? Does eUK receives less support (or is weaker) than before ? Does eNorway have a more efficient diplomacy and receive more support from their allies ?

There are a few reasons to this. One is I am guessing all the theft from the UK treasury does not help matters. But more than ever Norway has put together one of the most effective foreign affairs teams. We are working with our allies constantly and have made efforts to bring Asteria-LETO and Asagrd closer together which is evident by our wins in battles and the UKs constant struggles to keep a tiny nation like Norway under her thumb.

4- Like every month, there is congress elections. When the war was launched : did you thought that it should length until that moment ? Some countries (Sweden, Finland, Canada and Israel) are targeting eUK : it is a counterstrike following eUK attempt to avoid Norway to have a congress ?
(Please explain)

We did not think that it would last this long. We wanted to close the war long before this but obviously that has not worked. Our allies have worked tirelessly to launch another UK Gang Bang in a show of force and friendship that the tyranny of the UK will not be tolerated. After all, Papa Poland cannot NE all of us and save the UK this time. They will pay for their lies and treachery. I expect the Netherlands and Germark will attempt to help them, but I do not think that will be enough this time. (Apparently the North Sea Protection Pact is still a thing, who knew?)

Thank you for your time
Kravenn



Interview with New Faustian Man(CP)

Hi New Faustian Man,

I’m contacting you because I decided to organise a long article with several small interviews about the current conflict on eUK and you recently proposed to your congress an airstrike on eUK.

Hello eUK o/

1- It’s not really a secret but you are from Northern Ireland (RL) but how are your relations with eUK ?

On a personal level I would say relations are pretty good, there are people in the eUK I consider mates, and even if the eUK is probably the country I've fought most against in this game, that's been more a consequence of being on opposite alliances rather than a dislike of the eUK playerbase or of the UK in RL.

2- You are currently the president of Israel. Even if eUK is opposed to your country how eISR population considers eUK and what are the relations between the 2 countries ?

I haven't spoken much with many eIsraelis about the eUK, so I'm not too sure what the opinion is. I'm not sure if eIsrael have ever been in the same alliance as the eUK, so there's been no opportunity for any bonds or friendships to form. But I'm sure both countries would get along were they ever to find themselves in the same setup.


3- Like I said earlier, you proposed to your congress to launch an airstrike on eUK. Most of the time, you don’t launch an airstrike without good reasons. Why targeting eUK ?

Basically its to help LETO allies Australia and Canada. Australia and her allies [eIsrael included] have invested a lot in establishing Aus in Norway as part of a rental arrangement, so defending these gains is important for us. UK are seen as a threat basically, plus matters were further complicated by the TW the UK and Norway were having.

4- eCanada proposed eUK as Natural enemy. They are in the same alliance than you (LETO), there was some talks to launch a common action against eUK ?

Yes there was some discussion, but eIsrael only came in at the very end of those. Basically we’ve been looking to AS someone for a while, and eUK will offer us a real challenge. Just being able to land will be quite an achievement for eIsrael considering the size difference between our two nations.

Thanks for the interview,
NFM
eIsrael CP

Thank you for your time
Kravenn

I really hope you liked this panel of interviews and I prepare new ones (but more focused on albania) on the following days

See ya,
Kravenn
