Moldova is now a member of the CinC, Moldovadom is looking forward membership in the Commonwealth. Moldovadom has selected their initial 2 upper and 2 lower house members for the 4 million people. The plan is to set up an Aegis Radar installation to monitor Eurasia. Bulgariadom is planning for an Aegis Radar installation, too.
.
In Kenya, a sweep to the southwest then south to go around the Peking Chinese forces took place. UCAV-47 C are helping with recon function As the pursuit took place on the roadway with Rooikats, Ratels, etc.
. There is another force to try to get into the rear to disrupt logistics to catch the P.Chinese off guard moving to the coast to the east. NH-90 are ferrying airborne soldiers to their objectives to block their retreating forces. Small engagements have taken place, usually rear guard action slowing down our pursuit.
. Two Chinese transports are leaving port from Kenya and one from Mogadishu, Somalia to meet up. The Chinese are not selling any more of their Dh-21 and Dh-26 anti-ship missiles that the CoC has used and set up on Socotra and a few other locations (undisclosed).
. About 3 hours after the two ships left port in Kenya, 5 F-111 and 2 EF-111 took off from Ethiopia flying over Yemen and to the Indian Ocean and south. At 300 miles, the expected targets were identified. The two from Kenya and one from Mogadishu were converging for the sojourn to Shanghai, China. 3 missile target and each of the smaller ships and 4 at the largest transport. In 20 minutes alarms went off. The SAM fired missiles from the largest, Shangrala it hit an inbound missile. Two harpoons hit the ship after the pop-up and impacted just above the waterline. The hole was below the waterline extending up 21 feet and across 19 feet in the middle of the port side. The other missile hit just forward of the hole, the the side collapse inward, more water flowing in. Abandon ship announcement was made. The other Harpoon slide just to the stern and was set for a smaller transport. The CWIS engaged, but not enough time to set up adjustment for the inbound Harpoon which has now changed targets for a new smaller transport . Impacting 21 seconds later. Two more cam in hitting the target changing the transport ship into a hulk of hot flame and metal. The third ship was hit by two missiles which impacted. All three ship sunk within 4 1/2 hours. Lifeboats were afloat in the Indian Ocean.

The Commonwealth just bought 51% of a Philippine company that runs a shipyard in Manila Bay. It was up for sale with slow down of business. Peking China was showing extensive interest in the firm and thus the shipyard. The CoC bought it to prevent the Peking Chinese PLA Navy from expanding their logistics. this was the former US Navy base and its infrastructure. It will provide another base in the western Pacific for the Commonwealth.
. The Island of Mindanao has become independent and become a member of the Commonwealth. Independently the Republic of Minaropa, a long slender island to the east of the Spratleys and the South China Sea has requested membership. It has been under heavy pressure to terms dictated by Peking China. One of the reasons is that the CoC is able to respond to undue pressure from Peking China. Production of Visby and LCS Corvettes will expand for commonality of naval forces throughout the Commonwealth. Deployment of A-4, F-4, F/A-18 A and B models is taking place.

Manila Bay:
The closed deal owning 52% of the shipyard is great for the Philippines having an ally, the Commonwealth, involved in their shipping and transportation industry. Blocking the Peking Chinese. Commonwealth Transportation Group, LLC is the Government owned entity that is the owner of Talgac Shipyards, there is an option of buying a higher percentage of the company. $2.2 billion where transferred to the Bank of the A team of engineers are flying into Manila to evaluate the port.
Kenya, Mombasa:
The LRAP (long range armored patrol) of Rookats and Ratels have enter Mombasa, the port city on the Indian Ocean. Drove to the port where the 5 Chinese Ships were docked, 2 were able to sail out of the port heading north. Chinese attack helicopters fired into the convoy destroying / disabling 4 Rooikats and 2 Ratels, 14 dead. Avenger Hummv did fire 6 Stingers only hitting 1 helo, which fell to the ground. Both crewmen survived and were captured.
. In the port warehouse area, the Chinese Amph AIFV, the ZBD-2000, which has the BMP-3 turret, there are several that got into a firefight with the CoC armored group. The 100mm gun and 30mm gun did very well against the tank destroyers, 3 more Rooikats burned. The 105mm gun of the Rooikat did extremely well destroying 5 ZBD-2000 AIFV, two of them with the dismount inside died except for two that were running down the ramp already. Ratel 20 were having a difficult time knocking out a ZBD, the Ratel 90s destoyed 4 more in close fire. Rooivalk attack helicopters did attack several vehicles and 1 was shot down in the bay, no survivors, another Rooivalk had a HARD landing on a field ruining the undercarriage and wing spars. SAM from a destroyer tied to moorings fired on 2 Puma helicopters bring in attack squad, they were both shot down, one hitting a warehouse roof. As the CWIS opened up on 3 Ratels starboard side, destroying those. the attacking infantry moved away from the open area adjacent to the port. The attack force was moving forward with dismounts from 39 Ratels moving forward, support or lead by 36 Rooikats, which were still in the attack. Rooikats started firing on the destroyer with HEAT and AP rounds. The AP rounds were aimed at the gun turrets, knocking them out, 2-3 would eliminate that threat. and the CWIS and SAM launchers. The 5 inch guns on the destroyer was making havoc of 4 Rooikats and 3 Ratels, and several jeeps, Hummvs and 2 Avengers. The rapid fire of the automatic gun system was highly effective until it too was knocked out by rooikats. More HEAT rounds were fired into the ship and the supply ships. One PLA Navy tanker was fired on with HEAT rounds and the APFSDS rounds at the weapon systems on board. The HEAT rounds were able to hit a pipe with fumes which stated a larger internal fire.... which became external fire. Crew was abandoning ship, jumping into the water or running on shore.
. More soldiers from the Kenya came mounted in trucks, dismounting and securing buildings and warehouses, initially supporting and following the CoC forces. The Kenya Army forces moved through the Commonwealth soldiers to pursue the PLA infantry and sailors. The PLA retreated around the shipyard area, then into the shopping area looking over the water. Those civilians that had been in the area had left shortly after the firing began.
. A PLA sniper got into position in the upstairs loft with a restaurant below. He took out several soldiers, then he killed Col Jelnick the commander of the assault force with a round into the chest. The Kenya soldier pursued the PLA soldiers, about 4 dozen were captured, but some that had tried to surrender were not given quarter by the Kenyans, a few claimed that they had family members abused by some of the PLA soldiers.

Mali-dom
12,000 soldiers have been moved by rail over the last 3 days down to Democratic Republic of Congo to the capital of Kinshasa. 240 AFV along with trucks were also sent including M113, M47E2 with 105mm rifled gun, Boxer AFV, Boxer IFV, and Boxer 105, etc. The government. of the DRC requested our assistance since Peking Chinese had been in country.
.
Nigeria-dom:
Nigeria-dom added 20,000 soldiers in central DRC, stationed in cities of Bandundu, Kikwit, etc. AMX-30B2, AMX-10P, AML-90 & 60, GCT-155 artillery. Puma helicopters were flown in with special forces, Cobra attack helos, and UH-1 Hueys.
.
Mombasa, Kenya
The military movement continues with infantry small group action, supported by AFV when possible and Cobra attack helos, using TOW missiles and the 20mm gatling gun to eliminate resistance from the Peking Ducks, errr....Chinese. In the buildings around the port, causalities are mounting with close combat. More resources are pouring in and around the port and industrial area. The Peking forces ar

Chris, can you post a list of all the dom's? Maybe with a basic MBT, IFV count for each.
I have lost count of who you have subjugated and would not want to destabilize a free Country.

Thanks SYB

7.62, it would be much easier for me to list the countries that are not in the CoC, or not under our focus.
Here goes....
Balzac Republic
Monacodom
Sardiniadom
Azores-dim
Yer Bouti-dom
West Africa-dom
Mali-Dom
Mauritania-Dom
5 Providences of Canada

OPPS, there are are a couple of errors. YB is just surrounded and has the southern half of West Africa and those areas of Canada are no long members of the Commonwealth.
.
Panzer, glad you like, thank you.
I will come up with my list.....when on my PC vs tablet (easier to type). I think someone is thinking of attacking a ‘Dom’ , starting an insurrection.

Kenya
Kenya has accepted the offer from the Commonwealth to become a member so that Kenya can determine its own destiny with greatness. Officially, it is Kenyadom, a/k/a Kenya. The evaluation of the military will be undertaken along with other government programs.
. Kenya is to help with having other countries become members, to help influence those that can benefit from membership and fulfill the needs of CoC.
The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea.

Armenia-dom, north of the Dardanelles and Sea of Marmara:
Armeniadom has recieved 44 more MBTs, Abrams M1A1 early version, They need to be painted in Aus-Cam. Some crews had been trained in Moroccodom recently. Other crews will train in Armeniadom and others in Moroccodom, since they received 200 Abrams few months ago.
.
Tripoli-dom, western end of the Med, north of Israel:
Corvette of the LCS Class observed those warships and transports moving to transit the Red Sea, as many are seen moving west or heading south through the Suez waterway.
. Tripoli-dom army received 45 Merkava IV, 4 Merkava training vehicles and 45 Merkava 1 MBTs. We have the crews that have been training for the last 4 months and rotating on existing tanks of the armed forces.
.
Chicoviadom south of the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara:
Acquired 40 M1A1 Abrams for their Panzer group battalion. Also received were M113, M163 Vulcans, Training continues in Moroccodom for these crews, they seem to need more help. May need to put these crews in AMX-30 or M60 to be successful. Decision to be made later on this issue.
.
Kenyadom
Peking Chinese soldiers have surrendered along with the two remaining support ships in harbor. Estimate of over 1500 soldiers and 550 crew of the ships. They will be returned as soon as Peking China accepts a cease fire with conditions from the CoC.
.
Democratic Republic of Congo
Congodom has accepted the offer to become members of the CoC, it was almost an offer that they could not refuse. Congodom has sent the first two members of the Upper House to Monacodom to sit in Parliament. One is the brother of the President of Congodom, and the other was Senate Leader. The Lower House will be elected soon.
.
Indian Ocean
The 3 carrier battle groups are remaining south central area of latitude. May make port of call at a later date, which is to be determined.
.
Monacodom
Naval Fleet HQ, discussion on the lost of the two SSGN, what could have been done differently to minimize the risk of loss of submarines. So we not have 39 for Freedom, Even though the boomers have cruise missiles they have another priority.
.
After the recent conflict with Peking China, the Commonwealth needs to take stock of our members, conduct a SWOT evaluation (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities & threats). Position our economic strengths to benefit our citizens, our military to defend us. Does the Commonwealth and its members have the right resources in the right location.
, In Monacodom, time for another parade with the pretty painted vehicles from France. 148 LeClercs in parade, 90 VBCI 8x8 IFV, 60 VBC recon vehicles, 36 AMX-GCT30 artillery pieces, and trucks, AA vehicles, radio & radar trucks. Marching soldiers, scouts & snipers, etc. Another grande parade.
.
CHIdom is the where the regional government offices for the Commonwealth will be seated. This office will administer Mindinaodom, CHIdom, and Mimaropa-dom.

Indian Ocean
The Forestall battle group has been heading east heading towards Darwin, Australia. It is expected to make port-o-call in Darwin and a few other ports in the northern territories.
The Midway group is heading to the northeasterly direction in the Indian Ocean. Aircraft sorties are out with tankers, S-2 Trackers to detect any ships and planes that might be in the 'neighborhood'.
. The JKF battle group has headed west toward Africa, still on a line that is north of Madagascar. The air group would be able to support air operations in Kenya if needed.
.
There is a newspaper article in the Roman Numeral Times addressing that many recent members of the Commonwealth have had military operations in their respective country. Most of these countries needed help. The writer theorized that the CoC may have had some influence on the attack, natural disaster that would cause the CoC military deployment of assistance. In other words, the CoC is perhaps facilitating any military turmoil in return to be called to "help" the host country is distress.
. The article did not that the governments and people do like the Commonwealth, the economic growth, the military and representation in Monacodom in the Upper & Lower Chamber. The conclusion though is that in some way the Commonwealth utilizes uncertainty and capitalizes on it and perhaps even creates uncertainty and/or escalates uncertainly to acquire to build an empire.

The ROD is preparing to field a squadron of AV-8B Harriers for use on its new Wasp class LHDs, but we have no experience with these crazy fixed-wing VTOL planes. The CoC has been using them for some time, so we are requesting the CoC's assistance with training to operate the new Harriers.

Would the CoC be willing to let us send 10 ROD Navy officers over to you in order to pick your brain on Harrier operations? We're thinking 4 pilots, 4 maintenance guys, and 2 operations officers to look at carrier/airfield ops. We can go to wherever your harriers are and we will bring beer.

The CoC is seriously considering your request, but with your shewed deception that Canada is really a puppet state of ROD.
If you wish send in those student airmen to Americus Island in the Mediterranean, land you transport plane on Runway 23/203 on the west landing strip. We will copy our training guides and reference material including the fuel burn rate at various speeds, altitudes, loads, etc. Spend some time on the ground and then flying simulator and then flying Harrier from a runway before we get on a Harrier Carrier. Ha, ha, lol, I crack myself up.....!!!&^%
.
Indian Ocean
The two remaining carrier battle groups have been in search of any Eurasian ships, planes and/or subs, and drones. None to be detected so far. Not to fall into a false sense of relief and security, expect Eurasia to make a move at some point. May or may not be in the Indian Ocean. Djibouti is certainly an option with some of their air and naval assets there. We have ability to see what my try to move through Turkey and then Armeniadom & Chicoviadom. With that in mind, from the Baltic and and the Pacific are options, but the most likely is from the Arctic circle and the bases up north.
. China is a concern, although that threat seems to be reduced based upon lack of activity and communication from Peking, China.
.
Africa, the CoC announces the acquisition of another 200 Ratels of various types that are surplus from SADF. Some work will need to be done such as new tires, seals, engine evaluation, etc. South Africa is also selling ammo for the Ratels, spare parts and also providing trucks in the transaction. Agent of record is the "Shake Yer Bouti" himself, making a cool 1%, $2 million to him. Who says government service does not pay???
.
The SSGN J. Adams sailed extremely close to the port of Djibouti and the submersible sub detached with two man crew using battery power took a tour of Djibouti harbor to identify the Eurasian and Peking Chinese ships and locations. They did return 6 hours later with some great pictures. [[not sure that we should try that again in Yer Bouti, we do not want to go into yer bouti, are we clear]].
.
Another article appeared in the London Looser and the New York Times, that was almost identical to each other even though different 'pen' names were used. Reference the same issue that were identified by the Roman Numeral Times 3. Indicated that the membership of is beneficial to the citizens and countries, but that at times there is pressure to join. In Canada, the former PM of that died prior to the unification of Canada stood in the way. Although Canada has remained neutral, as opposed to joining the Commonwealth. That Jaques' death was helpful to the re-unification of Canada, it almost did not happen.

The Government of Yer Bouti condemns the continuing plague of coup d'etat and regime change conducted by the CofC.
The net benefit has been the sale of expensive weapon systems to Countries that can ill afford them, swiftly followed by there employment against their own citizens or neighbors.
Any increase in trade has been a one way funnel of wealth back to Monacdom.
The anti colonial struggle will continue by many to regain freedom in their own Countries.

The people of Yer Bouti will always stand united and sovereign.
Down with the CofC.
