Several transport planes are destroyed by Blastzone 1s hidden in locations far away from the Eagle territory, some before they drop their troops, some after. Some of the attack helicopters are also shot down, although due to their size this is much harder for the Blastzone's to pull off.
OOC: I don't think you can hit transport planes flying at hundreds of miles per hour with a cannon from thousands of kilometres away, especially when there is no way to transmit the coordinates.
OOC:I didn't know they would be moving that fast. Guess the troops are falling in with style.

OOC: The planes should be moving at 300 mp/h, until they have to slow down to 173 mp/h to drop them. So, pretty fast.

Amongst the forests and plains of the Eagle territory, far away from any settlements, several trucks and APCs set up, camouflaged by nets and hidden amongst bushes and trees. Figures dressed green and brown ponchos and helmets dress up large communications antennae, hidden as trees and tall bushes. A few hours later, a brief message is broadcast over a few radio waves, into the occupied territory.
"This is Pronto company! We will commence ECM procedures in T minus 10! Switch to pre-planned channels immediately! Five, four..." Suddenly, all radios and wireless connections in the expanses of Eagle territories stop working, as they are filled with either static or distorted versions of Chimean folk songs. The possibility of a nation-wide prank is quickly dismissed as copious amounts of long-distance missiles sail across the skies to strike communications antennae, and telephone lines are cut. Transport planes descend from the stratosphere along the borders, and bouquets of parachutes are tossed from the skies as men and vehicles are dropped near the aforementioned positions. Attack helicopters circle the borders, lighting up any Overwatch or Bat elements with powerful weapons, and armoured divisions punch through the border. All vehicles are equipped with military loudspeakers, and their commanders broadcast messages through them to the rightful citizens of the territory.
"ATTENTION! This is an incursion against the forces of the Crawler Empire only! All Eagle civilians, please retreat into your homes and shelters where you shall not be disturbed."
OOC: Great read, great song, but wait so we allowed radios or did we not? I'm still sticking by my cable radio idea.
OOC: I am sticking to Chi-powered radio. At least one of the most important militaries in Chima should have them.
The diplomat slides the parchment across the table.
The Treaty of Casablanche
The Gorillas of Casablanche shall surrender to the Eagles. They will allow the Eagles to enter Casablanche and remain there as long they will without resisting them. They will hand over all Gorilla officials, and submit to Eagle rule. They will yield all arms within the city and hand them over to the Eagles. They will carry no arms without permission from the Eagles.
The Eagles will allow the Gorillas to remain peacefully in Casablanche. They will not be evicted, attacked, or in any way faced with hostility unless they break the terms of this agreement.
Ewinus Lord of the Eagle Council
{Space for Yamato's signature}
Yamamoto: Ok, this is far too vague.
1) Who counts as an official? Does my secretary count? Does my janitor count? I mean both are civil servants? Do the police count? What will happen to the police?
2) What about the military and the navy? Will they be arrested too, what will happen to the ships? Or the ship blue-prints? What about the people who built the ships will they be arrested too? I mean we have about 2 thousand or maybe even 3 thousand navy men working there as sailors and ship builders, what will happen to them?
3) What about the rights? You said they will not be: evicted, attacked or faced with any hostility, well that can be done in a police state aswell. What about all the other rights: To property, life, liberty and the right that all are equal by the eyes of the law, speaking of law what laws will Casablanche follow: eagle laws or gorilla laws?
4) What about the freedoms like: Press, faith, assembly, speech and the right to vote and elect representaives, I mean the gorilla election is coming up, and Casablanche will vote for the first time, so its a major turning point for them, and I'm certain the gorillas wont really be willing to very much give up on their freedoms.
5) We are a major West Sea City, a gem to the collection of any nation, and so it has a lot of gun-smuggling, its possible many people, will just keep guns in secret, and we don't have very good gun databases, so we don't know who has and who hasn't got guns.
6) What happens if an eagle, maybe even an eagle national, attacks a gorilla, will they face punishments? And if a gorilla fights back, do they break the terms of agreement?
7) What happens when the terms break? Do all gorillas get killed or evicted or some other horrible crime commited to them?
8) How can the people be know they will not be exploited or the superior economy of the region unjustly abused by high taxation?
9) Also how many positions will eagles take over? Will the gorillas have any say?
10) Will eagles move into Casablanche as permanent residents other than the officials?
Those are my questions, and we will negotitate this treaty.
1. Anyone who is involved with the running of the town's government. A janitor who just cleans is not one, but a secretary who manages official correspondence would count. The police force will be disbanded and replaced by the Eagle Guard for the duration of the war. Once the Gorilla Tribe has been defeated, Gorillas will be able to serve in the police again. 2. Members of the military can either renounce their allegiance to Gorbav, end their military careers and take up civilian jobs, or be arrested. Shipbuilders can either work for the Eagles, or find jobs in other areas. 3. Unless their property is being used for illegal activities, it is theirs to keep. Casablanche will follow Eagle laws for now, though that may change at a later date. It is in Eagle territory, after all, and we have the right to command its total removal if we were so inclined. 4. The Gorillas will be allowed to follow their own faith. 5. We understand that the government does not control this. As such, we will only consider weapons held by officials or used in bulk by a large force of citizens to be a violation of the treaty. 6. The situation will be looked at impartially just as if an Eagle was being attacked by an Eagle. 7. That depends on which agreement is broken. An appropriate punishment will be given to the Gorilla(s) who committed the crime. 8. We aren't here to abuse citizens; the Eagles do not consider Gorilla citizens responsible for the crimes of Gorbav, and will not be punished for no reason. 9. We may have to impose a Regent ad Interim for a short time, but we hope to establish a council consisting of something along the lines of three Eagles to four Gorillas. 10. We do not controkl our citizens, and it is unlikely many will want to live outside the Spire, but a small number may come.
