[SATO] All Hands On Deck!

[Kira]

"You're sure they will respond with enough, Elder? The Xagreau were an outlier, not their bastard child come for blood"

General Tyrann asked. Morning was filled with the sound of moving crates and whistling engines, the outbreak of war having cut short the yearly Day of Rising celebrations. Both Tzu and Tyrann were to be sent to relive their allies, following the High Marshal's orders. Sipping his tea, the Elder glanced down to the smaller man. "They've a great deal of reason to do so, if they've truly managed to win some peace with their former foes. The Galrans stand as a usurping child to a great many of the old powers. Between the fall of Franarre and the SU's buying out of the Elerian's. they stand to sweep nearly the whole of the continent under their grasp." Taking another sip of his tea, the Elder gestured to his single attendant to take it soon after as the first train pulled into the station.

"Allfather preserve us through these void-touched days, General"

To the public offices of the UKUG, Marrlan and other SATO members hosted within the Foriegn quarter, requests were made for what arms and armaments could be given following the Galran attacks. A meeting would be requested with what military officials would been sent to oversee their homelands forces, with an offer for Kumo joint efforts to be conducted concerning naval operations. Plans for another army to be raised were being made as counts came in on conscrpition numbers and what inventory was in stock for the Republic. Article V was to be called into effect, for the defense of them all.

Marrlan would respond shortly with a promise of 60,000 small arms and 50,000 units of ammunition. An expeditionary force would also be dispatched comprised of 

4,000 Special (2,000 Beast Hunter), 35,000 Standard, 12,000 Heavy, 100 Mortars, 100 Field Arty, 50 Armored Cars, 15 Tankettes. Lead by a newly promoted Brigadier General Helena Kent.

An escort force would also be assembled to take the force through the potentially contested waters.

"Get up!" shouted a conductor, the city of Fuar had grown considerably following it becoming the forward hub of trade between Mil'Nor and the UKUG, everything would usually be bustling with lively crowds of workers shipping goods North or South of the city. GWR locomotives transferring goods from the Mil'Nor smaller gauge lines to the UKUG standard lines via large stations became a common occurrence in which millions of pounds of goods were brought in. 

Today was different, three months ago the world was plunged into all out war, a war no one had ever experienced before. Galra's led bloc called the Sovereign Union had struck every free nation across Ouhiri in what was being called 'The Blitz' based on Grinvelian military tactics they left most of the world ravaged and under attack. Western Zedonia was now a warzone with invading Galrans pressing East, thousands of men in the colonies were pulled to active service leaving many of the jobs including this task to young boys and women. 

"Lower and steady that crate! Make her ready for Southward!" shouted a newly officiated GWR conductor, she bellowed orders to get a train as loaded up as possible, per the King's orders and approved by Parliament the United Kingdom of Ulster-Gaelia was at total war with the SU. The nation mourned the fallen from the initial attack and steeled themselves for the long and hard road ahead. The UKUG following Mil'Nor's call via SATO was determined to beat the enemy on all fronts. 

Unfortunately for Galra, UKUG had prepared for 20 years for a war with Kumo, that meant the colonies were well armed and prepared to be the frontline against the Spider. That meant guns...ammo...lots of it. 

100,000 units of small arms
150,000 units of munitions 
20,000 motorized units
10,000 armored equipment
6,000 aircraft equipment


Food prices would be halved to feed the Mil'Nor during the war.

100,000 fish
200,000 grains
100,000 fruits
100,000 livestock 


all sent to supply the Valderan Republic military and feed their troops to not disrupt civilian supply chains. If Zedonia had anything it was massive amounts of food that now had nowhere to go with the islands cut off. 

GWR locomotives worked around the clock railing these supplies south. Crates of McCarron Model 4 rifles, Model 4A surplus rifles, UKUG .30-06 rounds. It was Christmas in Mil'Nor and Santa wore a Green coat this year.
