An Ad for the Unovia & Saint Campaign
I had a different ad planned for this spot, but given Xo and his entry into this race, and the current attacks against me, I am going to use some of the statements for this ad.

Ok, so I am the farthest thing from an enemy of democracy. I gave up the chair at the beginning of the Region (after my term) because people wanted to run. I have sat in the chair most often due to facilitating the transitions. I have set up the ballots for every election without opposition.

I just calmly asked him to sit out this race. Doesn't mean I won't recognize his run.

You say I am the enemy of democracy while you sit there and claim unlimited power. You were not a strong President when you were in the chair, you have no functional policy, and your idea of "draining the swamp" will only bring the gators in the house.

Let me make this perfectly clear. I have always been pro democracy. You all think I am not, but I am. I have been always pushing for elections and the people's voice. Look at my historical support. If I was not pro democracy, I wouldn't have given up the chair when I have gotten it. If I lose this race, I will give up the chair.

An Ad for the Unovia & Saint Campaign

Facts don't care about your feelings

I know few people, if any, that are as active here as Xotrayjan. He's tabbed in almost every day at at least one portion of the day. Significantly more than The democratic nation of unovia or Saint indopeland.

Wtf I've been busy irl with exams and you do that

Yes. You had many chances to say you're busy. You said nothing. Nothing at all. You even had a chance today. You said nothing. While real life is important you've made yourself a member of this community as many have including me. As a member of this community there is respect, there is etiquette. You have shown me neither.

He left a message. It has basically been a week.

Noting the attacking power of the Mediterranean coast force, and the failure to take out all armoured vehicles, artillery fire and bombardment focused more on the disruptions of supply lines and bombardment of bridges and railways. Just north of Perpignan, troops set up a defensive line to hold the pinch point between the hilly terrain of the northern Pyrenees and the town of La Palme, hoping to block the attack before it could rush the coastline. Further anti-tank weapons were used to varying success - Almost all armoured vehicles were destroyed in the Pyrenees but their fast movement made them a difficult target at Perpignan.

The air force continued its efforts of air-to-air combat, but with a more focused attack on ground forces. Staying low would help reduce detection and anti-air range, thus providing more protection and attacking force. These factors meant that the Pyrenees were mostly secure, and the Eastern flank was the main concern. The advances on the Bay of Biscay coast were dealt with similarly, with further artillery and rocket strikes. A similar defensive line was built from fallback line troops along the River Adour, as the front line began to creep back towards Bayonne. Overall the French defence was holding as well as expected, slowing the Iberian advance to a containable speed whilst allowing for quick fortifications and trenches in strategic locations.

Secondary fallback lines were quickly assembled across the country, with a loose one along the river Garonne from Bordeaux to Toulouse, one between the mountains at Carcassonne, and another blocking the coastline at Béziers. The purpose of these wasn't to directly defend at this time but to be prepared if the Iberians breached the first line of defence. Electronic warfare had seen a shaky start due to a lack of systems, but most systems were beginning to come online, jamming communications for the Iberians in small regions of the east coast. Most communications had been unjammed, except for in remote locations, yet most commanders understood their goals in the isolated mountains.

Shall this be sufficient to continue this rp

I'd rather not but to save us all from your whining then yea I guess so, whatever. Guess I'll keep waiting 10 days between every single post you make. By then I'll be bored enough of this war to just shoot myself and ignore you, pretending like any of this never happened so I can rp in peace without waiting an entire year irl for this to end.

I apologise for my brash reply this morning, waking up to that just made me irrationally annoyed. I'll make no excuses - I indeed could have posted in the last days in my free time yet didn't. I could have told you I was busy IRL. I'll try to post more frequently on this from now on.

i have been summoned to this region

As the French attempted to unjam their frequencies they'd find that they'd also be compromised, again due to the AEW&C aircraft and ground forces putting up jamming towers along the front, the French only finding an irritating static on most frequencies. The Iberians also began to take things a step further, several ADFX-01 Type Cs set out, jamming French radar in the areas along the front, further amplifying Iberian air power.

The French Air forces deciding to attack supply lines would begin to be targeted by SAM sites when approaching and those flying low wouldn't be safe either as they'd be targeted by MANPADS held by some infantry.
To deter French pilots from flying in the Pyrenees or near Iberian captured land more AA was placed along with extra patrols. Continuing they even would begin to launch supersonic cruise missiles on nearby French airfields and artillery positions after tracking by COBRAs.

With the situation further developing in the Pyrenees the leaders of the campaign decided to direct several air wings comprising of ADFX-02s and VZ71 Vespertilios from the air fields of Santa Cilia and La Seu to bombing runs on known French positions in the Pyrenees. As the second wave of armour arrived their arrival was ushered by helicopters spotting enemy troops and striking them with missiles and spotting other positions for the air wings to bomb not only with napalm but cluster munitions, since their use was not near any civilian centre it was approved. Napalm also saw use in attacks against the French attempting fortifications near Bayonne.

The Mountaineers in the Pyrenees also intensified their attacks against the French with full blown assaults and in other cases using their snipers to kill officers and other individuals to cause disorganization and morale drop.
The main bulk of the force armour included had reached Foix and decided to stop for a but, setting up anti-air and fortifying its position. Behind it infantry would begin to join in with the mountaineers to secure the N20, similar actions occurring on the N134. Forces have also began moving towards Tarbes, utilizing jetpack infantry to great effect, launching from cargo aircraft.
Near Bayonne the French Artillery and rockets would face constant counter-fire and attacks from Iberian ASMs launched from ADFX-02s. To further entrench themselves in the area Iberian troops began to enter the suburbs of the city, including the city proper on the other side of the Ardour River. Forces have also began to move down river towards Urt, forming their own line though not letting up on the fire of their artillery and napalm firestorm against the French defenders.
Behind them the rear guard began to secure the territory behind them along the Nive River and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

On the other side of the front at Perpignan troops began to enter the city, though receptive and overall polite to civilians when possible they'd begin an assault on enemy positions if there were any within the city.
With more troops arriving and ships arriving in the Gulf of Lion mechanized forces with a total of 2,500 troops began moving towards Le Barcarès with other divisions moving towards La Palme though their main goal would be Narbonne.
The forces sent to begin surrounding the Pyrenees began a much harder push with aircraft covering them, their attack helicopters, SF-11 Tigres proving valuable to the efforts.

The ships in the Gulf of Lion have also begun bombarding enemy positions near the coast, including French military positions near Marsielle and Montpellier.
This was also not the only actions taking place in the Mediterranean but from Tunisia aircraft have begun attacks on Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. Transport ships under escort of destroyers and submarines have also began disembarking towards the islands. On another run of air strikes against the French on the islands several transport aircraft would unleash jetpack infantry, 1500 each for Cagliari, Ajaccio and Marsala.
Due to the distance between the Sardinia and Sicily from Tunisia both would not only become subject to the other attacks but also cruise missile attacks. It had seemed the army of Africa was joining the fray at last.

An offer...

The Iberian Foreign Ministry has reached out to its French counterpart and has offered to reach a resolution to the end of the conflict. France would continue to exist as a nation though only losing its South and Italy. In return the Iberian nation is willing to join in alliance with France along with a treaty promising to not attack France for 50 years.

An offer has also been extended to the troops in the Pyrenees an opportunity to surrender their weapons and become POWs. To be treated with respect and humility until the war comes to a conclusion.

We have nearly always had a returning Nation policy. The ones on a journey can be allowed to return. We have always been a family.
