Val Verde

General Bodean was onboard the LSS Eldamil. It would be the flagship of the Val Verdian force to Mistmantle. General Bodean had not fought a war in foreign land, but in 1999, he did put down the Kalsmo Rebellion, the 30th rebellion to come up since 1900. Val Verde, sadly, was known for it. For, when Mania and Dementia went on invasions, the countries that were conquered, were very, very upset, and continue to rebel to this day. Even though the fleet wasn’t supposed to leave till tomorrow, General Bodean decided he’d get his sea legs. A very small fleet was being sent, Parliament hadn’t made the official declaration of war yet, but they had ordered the assembly of the force. Tanks, Humvees, and other vehicles, supplies, etc. were being loaded onto ships in Lovern harbor. People took notice to the mobilization, and it wouldn’t be long before Parliament made the announcement, regardless, General Bodean sat back and looked at a map of Mistmantle. He wanted a quick and easy victory, just one more way to get an Imperialistic feel to Val Verde. ---------- Isaac Hall was full. Sir Benito Benirus looked around, seeing news reporters on the balcony, with cameras pointing at him, and representatives from Mania and Dementia were staring at him. He decided to speak. “Good evening citizens of Val Verde. Today, is the first time Val Verde has declared a war on foreign land since 1970. Since 1900, Val Verde has been plagued with secessionist attempts, and most recently, in 1999. We know of the horrors of a secessionist movement, we know the chaos they can form, we know the impact, not just during the war, but after it. Now, the Catalinian nation of Mistmantle is experiencing one of those rebellions. A communist revolt, and these communists have soviet views. They have made numerous strikes, and now one very large strike. The Parliament of Val Verde will not stand and watch as a nation suffers. Val Verde is sending an initial 1,200 Mazken elite to Mistmantle. If the rebels in Mistmantle turn out to be a larger, stronger, and more violent force, Val Verde will send more soldiers to the cause. Val Verde will be finished in Mistmantle when the government assumes complete control once again. Do not feel afraid citizens. We will be successful. Val Verde has not lost a war in decades, and we will not begin now. Love live the flag, and long live Lord Sheogorath.” Sir Benito Benirus said, it was a very short speech, but it was straight to the point. Views on the war were twisted. Why is Val Verde getting into this? Who cares about Mistmantle? Is Lord Sheogorath becoming a warmonger? Other things that were going around were: Finally, Val Verde can aid governments in the quest for order, Val Verde is taking the right stance in this world, Val Verde is the only nation brave enough to do this. Which was a false term to begin with, for Val Verde was diffidently not the strongest power in Wysteria. Regardless, it gave a new thing to talk about at the dinner table.
