Moritania-Britonia War
From Egs Mayhem
The war between Moritania and Britonia, which broke out in carrot..?
The Early War
The war began when Cheez and MDM had a somewhat-fake argument about the proper name of OOctavian the OOC AI; MDM referring to him by his proper moniker and Cheez calling him "Whatsisname the OOC AI". Theopenandclosedbook subsequently declared war on MDM as the Proud Nation of Britonia for no reason whatsoever. Moritania promptly responded with its own declaration of war for "insulting its glorious leader! Read all about it!" Britonia fired a 'Top Hat Rocket' which hit an empty plain in the heart of Moritania's Earldom of Greater Saskatchewan. The Moritanian Navy was mobilized as a result of this action. At this point, Kgirl1992 came in and complained a little, something along the lines of 'this is geting really anoying guys', but quick thinking on the part of MDM placated her.
Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Hyksos, ruled by Cheez, contacted both nations with the message that their services were open to the highest bidder. MDM was in German class at the time, so Book bid '2 crumpets and a top hat. And a monocool.' According to Cheez, "That won't pay for a single squad. Higher please. Payment is accepted in gold bullion, raw materials or prisoners." Book replied immediately with "Hmmm, well. Fire the gold bomb! RandomMan: Are you crazy? Lord British: Yes I am, ok, sends it by mail then, second class to save money. *Sens enough gold to hire Cheez's kingdom*" And thus was Hyksos' military hired by Britonia.
Cheez deployed the Hyksos Navy to counter the Moritanians. Soon enough, the Moritanian First Fleet appeared at the extreme edge of the firing range of the Hyksos Navy. Also at this time, Moritania's army was being mobilized. Hyksos deployed several recon planes to spy on the Moritanian mobilization, but these were quickly attacked by a vigilant Moritanian Air Force squadron. All of the recon planes and one of the Moritanian fighters were shot down. At sea, two Moritanian merchant ships carrying twice the amount of gold that Britonia had paid began transferring it to a Hyksos warship under the watchful eye of three Moritanian battlecruisers that had escorted them. Once the gold was transferred, the Hyksos ship attempted to get the Moritanian vessels to surrender by training its guns on them. The Moritanian battlecruisers promptly trained their guns on the Hyksos warship.
The Hyksos ship opened fire on the Moritanian warships, as did several submarines. The Moritanians returned fire and the merchant ships retreated to the safety of the First Fleet. One of the Moritanian battlecruisers sank after taking a torpedo, but the rest retreated safely. The Hyksosian submarines followed the Moritanian ships, but were scared off by Moritanian destroyers.
Moritania goes on the offensive
The Moritanian Navy dispatched Carrier Task Force Lusitanca to Beta Station, also known as the western coast of Britonia. It was met by a Hyksos carrier group which attacked it with fighter planes and antiship missiles. The two forces engaged each other and a squadron of Moritanian battlecruisers came up in support of Task Force Lusitanca. Britonia dispatched 500 elite soldiers to attack. At this point, PixelHead777, wanting to be the center of attention, attempted to godmode the War out of existence by performing a "Carrot-wide Sanctuary Spell". Needless to say, MDM and Cheez began chastising Pixel for being so selfish. MDM then began the process of moving the war out of Carrot and into its own thread.
Several Moritanian assault convoys headed towards Hyksos, then made abrupt course changes and headed for Northern Britonia. Meanwhile, Battlegroup Redstone and the 3rd Fleet began patrolling the waters off Northern Britonia so as to prevent Hyksos from sending aid. Task Force Tangerineville carried the 89th Airborne Division to Southwest Britonia and Task Force Biscuitia carried the 227th Airborne Division to Southeast Britonia. The Second Fleet headed south to reinforce Task Force Lusitanca and the 3rd Battlecruiser Squadron.
