Imperial troops in the P.K.A have crossed over into New Korrea, so far reports and eye witness accounts are sketchy at best. But it seems the Empire has started a rather large war with the enemy's of the Empire. The so called "buffer" zone in New Korrea is currently being taken over by ground troops who are being supported by the Imperial Air Force. The Imperial Navy's, 1st Imperial Fleet has begun bombardment of coastal towns and cities in New Korrea. Bombers have been on constant recycling of missions as they return and go out to bomb major enemy installations with in the Republic of New Korrea and Muchos Estados Unidos.

Imperial Address to the Holy Empire of Artite and the World, His Holy Majesty, Emperor Constantine Avrius the III, The Iron Emperor;

"Today, I have ordered the invasion of the Republic of New Korrea, the nation under President Leem has been nothing but a thorn in the backside of all nations since the end of the Korrean Liberation War, accused the Empire of only joining the war to gain land. However, these accusations are false, false like the God they believe in. Where is the gratitude this great Empire deserves from a heretic such as that Leem who sits on a throne of corpses while holding his pet dog, Eurussia with a leash. Where is the honor in that? Let this be known to the World Alliance. The Holy Empire of Artite is not here to play silly little games, wars are not fought with pen and paper, hours in a room with your enemy trying to see who can get the advantage on the other. Wars are fought with the strength of the convicted and brave. Wars are fought with bombs, bullets, tanks, planes, warships, and soldiers. Today is the day that the Empire stops tip toeing through the water and stops fearing to step on the toes of those who have to much power in the WA, the Empire will rout them out like vermin and purge them in the fires of war. You...my people...my fellow Artitians, will drag them out like vermin, you will be the hammer that crushes the enemy between the anvil. God wills a Christian victory in this Great War, the War of Retribution. We as a people are tired of being tied down or pushed away because of legislation passed by those who only seek to promote their country's interests and their interests alone.

My people, the Empire needs your strength once more, one final push into the heretical lands of the west. Once more we shall cry out and demand the blood of the enemy to soak their lands. Today, the Empire has no more patience for back stabbing nations and corrupt world politicians. Today, the Empire strikes out against all who stand in our way. We do not want to drag every nation into this war, but if it must be done then so be it, let the World Alliance have its Great War, let it hear the war cries of the Imperial Army, let it hear the roar of the cannon of the Imperial Navy, let it cower in sewers like rats while the Imperial Air Force rains down fire from the heavens.

This Holy Crusade against the Heretics will be our last cry out, there will be sense in an insensible world. Our enemies will fall under our boots while we trample them from above. God wills it and you my people, my kin, my compatriots, will it. For the Glory of the Empire, for the Glory of God, let us either fall into the fires of war or rise out of it like a phoenix."

Through massive logistical support, the 3rd and 4th Imperial Fleets escorting troop transports are heading to New Korrea, while the 2nd Imperial Fleet escorts troop transports to MEU. A total of 2 million troops are going to buffer the war in New Korrea, totalling 3.5 million troops while 2 millions troops and 3 million drafted prisoner troops make their way to MEU. The attack will happen on MEU's Northwestern part where a swift victory will ensure the conquering of all of MEU's lands. After his speech Emperor Constantine was asked a torrent of questions. His broad answer was this..

"Yes we have received pleas from Eurussia to stop this aggression on our enemies and that they will forsake the relationship they have with us in order to protect those that give them money. New Korrea and MEU are buying their protection from Eurussia because they are weak and spineless and they know it. It saddens me to know that Eurussian troops will die in combat defending an enemy who would rather hide behind the backs of their so called friends instead of standing up like honorable people and fighting for their own defense. I have ordered the complete mobilization of the army, marines, air force, and navy along with drafting several million of Artite's prisoners who in return if they survive will be given pardons and will begin a new life. For these prisoners I expect great men and women to rise from their ranks, I also expect this to happen for the brave men and women of my military. New Korrea and MEU do not see their fault and have blinded some of the more honorable states in the World Alliance with their lies."

further questions regarding the case filed against Artite's so called "illegal occupation" followed.

"Regarding these accusations and this case in the WASC, the Empire will not recognize a case or its verdict. We have held those lands for a long time and have on multiple occasions tried to settle our differences with the Heretics of New Korrea. But they seem to always complain when they do not get their way. However in no way shape or form is the Prinicipality of Korreaa-Artite a colony of the Empire, it is a territory we have sworn to protect and that is what we are doing, New Korrea has threatened its existence and there for threatened the lives of the Artitians, Wirbanskians, and other national citizens of many more states. they cast the first stone when they decided to sell off their land. What kind of country sells its own people and land in the name of defense? That is very dishonorable and spineless in the Empire's eyes. But this "buffer" I hear some of my soldiers call, the Devils Playground, is just an excuse to isolate the PKA, but in reality it is a threat."

Troops and equipment are geared for war, along with the Empire's allies. Now who knows what will happen, so many nations are preparing for this war, and Artite is the one who is the most prepared.
