--- Above central Anatolia --- Captain Yoshiro Fuma checked their positions before flipping a switch on the Tu-160's console and announcing "Albatross 1 opening bombay doors..." He got several replies from the other three bombers of Albatross Flight and was sure the captains of Blackjack, Condor, and Dollarbird Flights were likewise reporting. "...releasing ordinance..." Captain Fuma reported. The Tu-160s of Albatross and Blackbird Flight and the B-1Bs of Condor and Dollarbird Flights, 16 bombers in all released their ordinance over General Metran's base. But this time, Tornados had already neutralized most of the base's AA defenses. However the bomber raid wasn't all, behind the bombers were numerous V-22s carrying a large number of infantry, including Alpha Squad. --- General Metran's headquarters --- The moment he saw the Tornados he knew it was all over. I KNEW cooperating with Uruz and who ever his benefactor is was a bad idea. We were just bait... True, Metran's attack earlier had done a number on both Imperial and Kemal's ground forces, but the bombers at Istanbul were untouched. Before the bombers arrived Metran had a convoy of his most loyal troops, soldiers part of his original command, evacuates as many weapons and as much gold as they could from the base. He wasn't stupid, he knew his dreams of carving out his own dominion out of the Republic's corpse was over. If not Kemal and his Imperial backers, then Celatoria, or maybe MVN or even Byronmandy, but who ever it was, the region wouldn't let him have it. Still... doesn't mean I'm quite over, I've got men, I've got weapons, I've got money... He'd spoken with his lieutenants about this, and they were all with him. All they really wanted was money, glory, and to taste battle, perfect characteristics for a mercenary army. The General was through being a warlord, it would be much more lucrative to become a mercenary. |

--- Aboard the GIS Venator --- Jinhua Li arrived at Istanbul and was taken to the Venator via one of the ship's V-22s. Once again the officer's mess was cleared out. Aside from the two marines at the door, Ramius, Jintao, Prince Alexi and Agent Li occupied the mess. “So lets start putting this puzzle together...” Ramius said. “...Li what's out theory?” Jinghua cleared her throat. “Our prime suspect is this man...” She said placing a photo of a man on a table. “...he as been identified as Dolf Gruber, and as a former associate of Kennth Baker, who is now in Veomo custody.” “To my knowledge, Baker is in Lusankya Prison, north of the capital.” Prince Alexi added. “So here's the theory then... Premier Kendar had Veomo's special forces abduct Kenneth Baker from Commodore Burakgazi's for the purpose of getting to Gruber and his services.” Jinghua explained. “But what does that have to do with the Uruz?” Jintao asked. “We're not sure yet, but we are almost certain there is a link. As Prince Alexi has stated, there could have been no other way that he could have known the location of the 1st Fleet. The Admiral also appears to have made some powerful friends and it is quite likely that he has some powerful friends, given his new ships and his use of Neoplantian mercenaries.” Jinghua explained. “If we can tie Kendar to Uruz, that should be enough to topple him on charges of treason, but that still leaves him unconnected to Gruber.” “You know speaking of Gruber, shouldn't we have evert law enforcement agency in Baradoz looking for him?” Jintao asked. “We've thought about that, but it would just make him go underground if he knew the whole region was looking for him. IIS plans to call a meeting for representatives of various intelligence agencies. The problem is, we can't bring everyone in at once, otherwise Mr. Gruber is going to know we're onto him. “Wow... huh, glad I'm a Navy man, life's more simple...” Jintao quipped. “Well Uruz is actively causing problems, we should take him out first and find out what he knows.” Ramius said. “Do we have the resources to take him down?” Jinghua asked. “Not yet, not between just the 4th and 6th Fleets. BUT we'll have plenty when the 4th's second squad and the 5th Fleet arrives. We'll hit him with the 5th and 6th, plus the bombers of the 3rd Air Fleet. We'll also attempt to coordinate something with Celatoria.” Ramius said. “Further more, it is possible, that Gruber is hiding out in the Uruz's territory." "So we take down Uruz first?" Prince Alexi asked. "Uruz first." Jinghua confirmed. |
