Outer Heaven | Turn #6 | Bonus +1

After establishing a fortified base deep in the Sri Lankan rainforest, Outer Heaven is now quickly expanding and recruiting into the Tamil and Kerala regions of Southern India.

The funding required to persuade the Sri Lankan government and reestablish the high-profile mercenary compound came primarily from select information gathered during the Zanzibari-Mongol war, which was then sold back to several intelligence agencies around the world, including the CIA and GRU. It is assumed that certain parts they kept to themselves, while others were leaked to the public: the overwhelming brutality seen from the Mongol forces during the Zanzibari war, which appeared to have been supported up to the highest chains of command, as well as their apparent violation of several other international warfare conventions including the deployment of child soldiers has stained their already dismal image further. US Presidential candidate George Sears publically condemned the Mongol atrocities attributed to them during the war, and described the reemergence of Outer Heaven as a "watershed moment". His team has refused to elaborate on why he seems to be supporting a rogue terrorist leader which the United States was previously involved in taking down, but his approval ratings seem to only be going up since making the statement. Perhaps Sears is with the American public in seeing something within Big Boss's ideology which previous administrations did not.

"It is good to meet thee, Riderow. Commander Theodore hath told me many things of thee. Mine name is Lawrence, I am thy appointed royal court translator."
"Oh you're one of them English fellas, ain'tcha? Well it's closer to home than anything else. Tell me Lawrence, what do these fellas want from me? I just wanna head back to Cairo. Been gone for too long now and my family must be getting worried."
"Art thou of Cairo? Thou seemest not Egyptian to me. Loke aboute thee, doth this stede seemen y-familiar to thee? For we ben in Cayro right now."
"Egypt? We're in Egypt? How far is that from America? I was adrivin' down to Memphis Tennessee, and some there tornado swooped me up and took me here."
"Amerika? Whar is that? No place in the world of Europe is knowne by that name. Ich have been a clerk of geographie ful many yeres and have nat heard of Amerika ne of Tennessee."
"Damn, I must be really far away from home..."
"Er thou wendest hom, hardy Riderow, ich am a-drad the commander hath taken a liking to that thou dost. He desireth to usen thy craftes and selcouth engynes to spreden the Byzantine colonies over al the North Afrik, after which he seeketh to winne ayein the Holy Lond. The kynges engynours han y-wrought upon y-makynge the thonder-club of thin ordinaunce for al the host. Gret mede abideth the if thou doest it sikerly. A titil, lond, and mani serjaunts ben bihoten the whan thou helpest to conqueren the South Mediterranean."
"Some land of my own ya say? Well that may not be so bad after all... "
"Ther is oon mater I moot speke to thee of first. In the northen landes, byyond the Mediterrane, an empire ycleped Yugoslavia hath sent messagers to speke to thee. They desire to discusse wher to drawe the bordres betwene empires. They desire, namely, to knowe whether thou wilt holde Constantinople, and whether thou wilt colonise north of the Mediterrane."
"Well, Yugoslavia you say? I didn't like Bill Clinton very much and he's gone and bombed the shit out of them, so I suppose the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Tell 'em we're willing to make a peace treaty or something of the sort. So long as they are willing to let me take a nice holiday place for myself, I don't much mind. As for Constantinopole, I don't much mind. I don't really know where that is, to be honest to ya, so I reckon they can have it. From what I gather, that them there.. uhh... Theodore you called him? I think he only wants us to conquer the south from what you said, so if that ain't part of it, they can keep it."
"For holidaiye destinatiouns, may ich recomenden Spayne?"
"Yeah Spain sounds nice. Very European, so I don't know if they're gay or something, but their women seem nice. Hell, maybe I find myself a little miss of my own!"
"Ful wel. Ich shal speken of this with Commander Theodore and senden a answere to the messagers."

(Further expansion into North Africa. Bonus:+5)

Traditionally you aren't allowed to roll on the turn that you join but your post is too high effort not to count so I shall allow it.

S.F.R of Yugoslavia - Turn 7 (+12)

We're very happy to have received the Kingdom of Memphis' response to our proposals and we'd be pleased to ensure the following conditions for the peace deal:

- Yugoslavia keeps European Turkey and doesn't intervene any further on the Middle East (the state of the Caucasus is still to be discussed).
- Memphis doesn't make any moves towards Europe, though under some certain conditions and non-aggression treaties we could make an exception for Southern Spain/Andalusia.

And that's it, really. On the meanwhile we'll take the European parts of Turkey and move all our troops to Romania.

Second Mongol Empire (+10) - Turn 7
Another lazypost. Fill Iran, spills to Caucasus. I'll try to cook up something good next turn.

S.F.R. of Yugoslavia - Turn 8 (+12)

@Maypews We'd be interested to know the Mongol Empire's claims to the Caucasus. Despite the more than few ideological differences between both of our nations, it wouldn't hurt to get some treaties going just in case.

While we wait for answers, it's time to pacify the rest of Romania and Moldavia, before moving all of our spills to Hungary.

Second Mongol Empire (+10) - Turn 8

Following the war, the Mongols have been met with much international backlash. The Baron, good as an overseer of his talented subordinates that he may be, can at times be rather oafish when it comes to diplomatic matters involving other nations. As such, he often consults trustworthy officials in his inner circle for advice on what to do next.

However one of those pesky things called an "exception" has begun to bubble up to the surface. Rumours of Ryder and the Neo-Byzantine movement in Egypt have become an absolute fascination of von Ungern's, as he so tends to romanticise foreign cultures. The story of a man speaking a language nobody has ever heard of landing in Egypt and helping to conquer North Africa has begun to spread outwards, and it immediately captured many of the Mongol HRs imaginations. The Mongols are clearly interested in pursuing close relations with the Egyptians, having sent an ambassador as well as a flurry of gifts to Ryder. They have furthermore sent an invitation to Ryder to visit Ulanbataar and receive a tour. @capstasher

Given how large of an empire the state has become, the Mongols have also sent inquiries to basically every other nation on the map. The Baron is aware of the resurgence of Outer Heaven, and with the help of his trustworthy advisors he has forwarded a letter to Big Boss. @dokyun

"The war some time ago took a grisly toll on both of our nations. Though we may have came out victorious, I lost a close friend and many valuable soldiers. We would be interested in pursuing a pact of neutrality with the reborn Zanzibari state, and in exchange we are willing to promise that we will not interfere with India or the Yemeni sea route so that you can continue expanding outwards."

He has also responded to the inquiries of Yugoslavia.. @alix

"The Mongols believe the Caucasus region to be rightfully ours because it was one of the earlier regions that our forebearers expanded into. Subutai's legendary defeat of the Kipchaks is one that will never be forgotten in our nation's memory. As such we believe these lands to be of high cultural importance and value. If it is Anatolia that you are concerned about, do not fret as we have no designs on advancing further into it."

Finally, the Mongols have also forwarded a letter to the Hyperboreans. @Parzival

"The Second Mongol Empire believes your ongoing war against the Bolshevik rats to be of the utmost virtue. We are willing to send supply munitions, ammo, and small unit detachments to aid your righteous cause. Additionally, we have no plans to advance further north past our current boundaries."

With that, the Mongols will continue to expand through Persia, with any spills going to the Caucasus.

Outer Heaven | Turn #8 | Bonus +1

It was one of Big Boss's original intentions since the founding of Zanzibar Land to eventually land in Sri Lanka in order to establish an elite base through which the world's top soldiers and researchers are able to work freely. At the moment, we're interested in pursuing agreements with Yugoslavia and East Memphis in order to attract some of their top scientists to Outer Heaven. In exchange we're willing negotiate contracts for providing defense services to either nation, if and when they need them. @capstasher @alix

Sure.


(Just moving up, we'll land in Oman once India is filled. Also May, you keep forgetting to put Outer Heaven on the map's list.)
