South African War Escalates: Phoenix puts South America in Jeopardy

Day 796, 07:20 Published in USA Australia by Aeros

People talk about the pendulum that is eRepublik’s power structure. One group of countries rise, another group falls. The rising powers then attacking the falling powers, forcing baby booms and efforts which inevitably cause the falling powers to start rising again. And thus, the world powers trade dominance back and forth. While I do not necessarily hold with this idea entirely, it is prophetic with regards to South Africa.

Anyone familiar with South Africa’s tormented history will know about the major clash between Indonesia and the ATLANTIS Alliance over South Africa. Argentina and the United States attempted to stop the advance of the rising Indonesian Empire in South Africa. Both would fail, leading to South Africa and later Argentina being taken over by the Indonesians. The long term effects of this defeat would be huge, with Argentina leaving the ATLANTIS Alliance and ultimately allying with their former occupiers, and South Africa becoming occupied in parts by Indonesia for the rest of its history. The Indonesian conquest of South Africa was in essence the dawn of their overseas Empire and cemented its position as the leading world power. It is therefore most fitting that the last stand of that Empire is now occurring in South Africa, as Indonesia rallies to defend its last overseas holding in the Battle of the Northern Cape.

Yesterday, I discussed Indonesia’s plans to enter South America using a war with Argentina. Today Argentina has formally declared war on South Africa and region swapped into the country, destroying an Indonesian territory and Q5 hospital in the process. Argentina’s entrance into the South Africa war is indicative of yet another attempt by the South American powers (Argentina and Brazil) to escape the confines of their Continent. Argentina does not have any High Diamonds, so a colony in South Africa would be as useful to them as a High Iron would be to Indonesia. However, the way Phoenix is orchestrating this operation is baffling. By region swapping Argentina into South Africa while the Battle of the Northern Cape is active, Phoenix has made the fight the deciding battle and last stand of the Indonesian Empire. If South Africa defeats the Indonesian’s now, they are eliminated from the country and reduced to home territory. With Australia protected by EDEN and Malaysia having handily held off repeated invasions from Indonesia, a defeat in Northern Cape would render Indonesia to the second tier of world countries (if they were not already there). With Indonesia eliminated, South Africa could then turn its attention to the nascent Argentine invasion, which is sure to start soon; if only to initiative lock any South Africa efforts to advance.

This whole affair show’s that Phoenix still has not figured out that EDEN’s mobile forces are incredibly powerful and dangerous. I do not say this as a propaganda term, but as a statement of fact. The USA alone has Hundreds of mobile troops. During a good mass attack, the USA has several hundred people in the IRC room awaiting action. These forces are now deployed heavily to South Africa and busily burying the wall into the Underground in Northern Cape without MPP’s (which have now been signed anyhow). Phoenix may have intended this operation as a way to strengthen their hold in South America by introducing Indonesia and giving Argentina a High Diamond region. Unfortunately, it seems they did not calculate on South Africa deciding to fight back, and more importantly, they did not factor in the arrival of hundreds of EDEN soldiers. This could now have the opposite effect on South America.

It is no secret that ALA (The South American Alliance) is nothing more than a secondary front for Phoenix (and PEACE GC before them). Few in America have forgotten how those “neutral” South American countries Mexico and Colombia conspired to deliver our country to the Russians. The icing on the cake occurred a few weeks ago, when Brazil broke an agreement they had with South Africa and used its territory to invade Australia. That particular fight was a real nail biter at times, though EDEN and Australia prevailed in the end. When it ended, South Africa prevented Australia from carrying those MPP’s to Gauteng in order drive the Brazilians off. That was before this invasion by Indonesia and Argentina, and now these events may convince the South Africans to change their neutral stance. This could spell some serious consequences for South America. Over the years, the countries have been poking at the EDEN Alliance in dangerous way’s. Colombia has a fully activated MPP stack against them in the USA. Brazil has a MPP stack against them in Australia. Brazil is also on Spain’s “Hit List” for its role in the wipe out of the Spanish last summer. The final piece of the puzzle is Poland’s colony of Peru. Brazil and Argentina both have an activated MPP with Poland in this country. See where I am going with this? All it takes is a decision by South Africa to say “enough” with the meddling of Indonesia, Brazil and Argentina, and South America could be transformed into the next big battle ground of the war between Phoenix and EDEN. And much like the UK is now, The major South American powers would be surrounded.
