Concerning NE on Latvia

Day 3,601, 14:01 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by 10 Downing Street

"Give us Waffles or give us Death!" - a famous Belgian war cry.


No doubt most of you already know what is going on, but since I wrote very few articles this term, I will use this opportunity to write one and update you on things you already know anyway. I know this article would have been way more useful earlier, but I was at work with my boss peeping over my shoulder all day. I don't know why he doesn't trust me but in any case this meant I couldn't spend the entire day on my phone like I usually do. I kept pretending I needed to take a shit so I could log in to eRep often, but most of that time was spent on more important business, like giving my blessing to the decisions of my cabinet which they were already executing. I tried to be online more often, but even when pretending to have diarrhea there's only so many times you can run to the toilet. The article had to wait till late in the evening because I literally couldn't give a shit anymore.

Now, on to number 1 in the agenda...


Context

A while ago Latvians Fake Lithuanians and Belgians agreed to hold a TW. In a move akin to Soviet military handbook tactics, ironically Fake Lithuania decided to "help" Belgium earn TP and RH medals indefinitely, regardless of their wishes.


Real Lithuania is Best Lithuania


Naturally, Belgium wants to be free so they asked several countries for help, including UK and a few others from Orion. While the ever noble and altruistic UK was willing to lend a hand to Belgium from the beginning, we got boggled down in alliance politics as not everyone is a paragon of virtue in this game. However, after much negotiation, stepping on some toes and luck, yesterday's evening the stars aligned just right and we were ready to NE Fake Lithuania. Im being vague here because I don't really remember all the details, but basically thanks to Mitte's hard work, I had the honor of blessing this initiative, and Mad Pauly was the lucky bastard who got to press the shiny button. This brings us to now.


Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted fulfill all your campaign promises, in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?


Goals

Our goal is simple: Free Belgium, and preferably not get wiped while doing so. Do keep in mind my warning in the manifest for CP, however: "Us going into a war will be like an obese man trying to run a marathon: it won't be successful and it will end in tears. So prepare to get invaded if we go this route." And now... we're going this route, ladies and gentlemen. But despair not for not all hope is lost yet. Many other countries are also tired of the burden of neutrality and peace in the world, and they intend to help us in our noble goal. Had I zero hope this would succeed, I would have not green lit it.


Battle Plans

Since Chaz will have issues logging in and won't be able to set COs as frequently as he should, he convinced me to send some money to Wayne for setting COs instead. Don't worry, I remember what happened last time and did not agree to send the 200k to Wayne. We'll send 150k first to see if he acts responsibly this time before sending larger sums. Otherwise we don't really have anything right now per se, but after Chaz hatches something out, I'll post them publicly in another article. So for now, fight well and the only reason you won't be able to work your companies will be because you forgot to move back to the correct region.


TL😉R of the article. Also, not enough cats.
