Republic of Cascadia
San Francisco, Cascadia
It was another clean and productive day in San Francisco, one of the two major port cities for Cascadian pacific trading with the Singaporeans and Eclipsians, although their trading with the Eclipsians had gone down a little since the start of the civil war for political reasons it would return to normal when things had stabilised in the country of course. The Golden Gate Bridge had been fully restored years ago out of sentimental value and it being a famous landmark and the skyscrapers deflected the sun's rays in a rather majestic manner with their glass panels. More celebrations were had with news that the last remaining Summaist supporters had been found and arrested by the SFPD early in the morning in one of their many raids against Summaists in the past month since the Portland attack, but now they were clean of them. The Cascadian Senate had passed a law allowing for police departments all across the country to maintain larger, more effective stockpiles of weaponry with the CDF even supplying some, Cascadians were now very content and even happier with the militarization of their police as it made them feel safer after the Portland PD so valiantly protected the capital from the Summaist terrorists. Meanwhile the CDF had had one of it's annual training exercises in the Nevadan desert, showing off how extremely well trained even the most basic CDF soldier was, comparing to at least two or three of most other country's soldiers due to the defensive nature of the CDF.
With recent developments in the Eclipsian Civil War the CDF felt that it was neccessary to recieve additional funding and support from the government to bolster it's strength, as of now it is suspected that the CDF rank as the third strongest military in the world due to highly trained personnel, technology that is only inches behind the Eclipians and British, hometurf advantage and extremely well rounded knowledge in defensive manouvers and vast numbers of all forms of equipment. However President Jefferson felt that in-order to make the population feel more secure with the recent Summaist victories in Asia that the military bolstered itself. As of now an additional 2,300 M1A3 Abrams have been ordered alongside 1,900 new AHL-177 Hawk gunships. All troops in the CDF have been equipped with the immensely strong 199 Power Armor, and 540 MIM-4's have been ordered, these highly advanced anti-air batteries being almost indefensible against. The CDF has also begun production of a new model of fighter jet designed to ensure air superiority however all details have remained classified for security reasons, another military project has begun but this is a defensive tool more than a weapon.
Portland, Cascadia
"So the two projects have began?" President Jefferson asked curiously as she looked over some documents sitting behind her desk, two high-ranking generals of the CDF sitting in their own respective seats in-front of her desk with their hats held by their sides. Both generals nodded, Jefferson smiled in response, "That's always good. And they'll be completed soon I'm assuming? Given the priority you've put on them and all." She asked again, the generals both replying with a, "Yes ma'am." Causing Jefferson to nod once more in response, happy with the responses. "That's great. What about Project Gamma Delta, is that still proceeding?" The Generals both nodded with slight smiles at that one, "In-fact ma'am it should be done relatively soon." The President seemed particularly happy at hearing that as she stood up and patted herself down, walking to the front of her desk and sitting on it with her arms folded in a casual manner. "Well then, I think that's all I need to know for now. Great job, guys." She smiled and gave both Generals a pat on the back as they left the room.
The 107 Summaist rebels that had been put on death row were executed today, the majority of which's families had denied the opportunity to go and see them before they were executed as most of the Summaist rebels had been disowned by their families soon after they were found to be apart of the movement, Cascadians were fiercely loyal to their country and to each other and so that if news came about that someone had went out of their way to try and attack their own country and to attack other Cascadians well they were shunned by the rest of the population and no longer considered Cascadian. It was needless to say that the country was very strongly tied to one another and united, that was the basis of Cascadia after all, compassion for your fellow man, loyalty and understanding and if violence did come around that it was to be done with mutual respect and honor. A cowardly terrorist group attacking people's homes and streets was seen as downright pathetic in other words. The majority of adult Cascadians did have firearms in their homes believe it or not as self-defense was highly regarded in Cascadia, background checks by the government and the National Gun Club made sure they were strictly Cascadian loyalists however for security reasons, guns from pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, hunting rifles and even assault weaponry were in the hands of perfectly capable and extremely patriotic Cascadian citizens.
The CDF had been given orders to raise the Readiness Alert Level of all armed forces in the country to Readiness Two due to the Eclipsian Civil War and tensions in Canada, the Republic of Cascadia had to ensure it's safety by preparing in advance. The Southern Command had heavily reinforced the southern border and had taken the opportunity as the VV to their south was very busy and falling apart to take the rest of Mexico into Cascadian hands, making it theirs and looking after the very little VV population that were there. Mexico's border had been heavily reinforced and satellite reconnaisance was at an all time high. However Cascadia itself was still business as usual minus the odd news report on military activity by the CDF, festivals were still going on and most Cascadians didn't even notice it.
Korean Peninsula, International Waters
A small carrier group of the CNDF had been deployed to the Korean Peninsula in response to the friendly gesture from the newly formed Korean nation, the Republic of Cascadia had taken an interest in it and in Asia though due to the once lucrative opportunities it had provided nations in the Pacific trading wise before the war. The navy task force was there on a solely peaceful mission of communication but obviously was very well defended and armed to the teeth with highly advanced naval weaponry which was somewhat what Cascadians specialised in. An AHL-175 Sparrow which was an advanced transport craft used by the CDF had taken off from the deck of one of the Cascadia-class Amphibious Assault Ships, the deck crewman waving his lights as it was cleared to take off. (I'm aware it's landing in the picture, t'was the only one I could find however) The Sparrow aircraft then proceeded to fly towards Korean controlled airspace, identifying itself via it's radio to the Koreans on the ground as a Cascadian military aircraft on a diplomatic mission to the Korean government.
A response was sent to the Korean government in advance of their diplomatic task force obviously, it stated as such. "Dear to the successors of Korea. We were most pleased to see someone praising our swift response to the Summaist threat and hope and assume that you have done the same. We have sent a small diplomatic task force of naval ships to the Korean Peninsula to establish formal person-to-person communication with your government. A small team of diplomats will be arriving at your capital shortly to discuss our relationship in more detail and to inquire into Asia's current state and to see if there are nations present there whom we are unaware of, unlike the Eclipsians and such. We wish you the best of luck and hope that our nations can get along in the future, best regards the Republic of Cascadia."
