Canidae Castle, Canidae Harbour, Federal Territory

King Fluffy sat at the top of the group of tables laid parallel to each other, having just returned from his trip to New Skullia he was rather tired but all council meetings were important, so he had to stay awake and listen to each point even if they weren’t that important.

The council had just finished voting on a proposition from the West Highlands parliament to provide funds for a new hospital in a rural town to better accommodate mountain climbing accidents. The Proposal was passed and now a highly important one came up, introduced by the Administrator General.

“This next proposal comes from the Saldanha Security Treaty Organization, and it calls for Canineia to send a task force of Warships to the Merilian West Coast to reinforce the blockade effort. Let’s start the debate” he announced begin the discussion.

The President of the Collie Isle’s stood up first

“Well I don’t see many problems with it, we patrol our own waters all the time why not apply that knowledge to our allies”

The President of North Wolfland responded

“I would be concerned with some of the nations which share a coastline with Merilia”.

The Prime Minister of Boneland responded

“If our allies with the SSTO have been doing it for this long we should be fine, this gives us the chance to test the skills of our naval and marine personnel on actual moving targets while also going to a good cause”

The rest of the council nodded in agreement prompting the Administrator to initiate the vote.

“All those in favour of sending naval forces to Merilia raise your hand”

17 Votes

“All those against”

1 Vote

“President McHuntington is there a reason you stand against the vote?” The Administrator asked

“I will always be against needlessly deploying our forces in a combat fashion but I have no desire anymore to argue against it”

“Fair then. The proposal has passed, and we will be sending forces to Merilia, your majesty will you please make your passing statement?” The Administrator said as he sat down, and the King stood up.

“A task force of twelve ships will deploy to the West Coast of Merilia, led by Colonel Greensky. It will consist of the carrier RCS Watchdog, four destroyers, the St Roch, St Firebone, Laika and Hachiko, four frigates, the Incinerator, Charlie McDonad, Codetalker and Saturn O’Callad, one submarine the Red Husky and finally two support ships one tanker and one cargo ship. We will also send Commander Saibh Bluewave for command over aerial operations from the carrier and Captain O’Forrester to lead the Marines.”

“Thank you, your majesty,” the administrator said now standing up as the king sat back down.

Colonel Greensky sat in his office typing up a report about intercepting a smuggling boat off the coast of West Highlands and finding weapons including rocket launchers on board. The clicking of keys filled the room until a commander walked in carrying a brown envelope.

“Colonel, orders from Canidae Harbour” they said as they handed the envelope to him.

The Colonel opened it and read what was inside, after finishing he rubbed his eyes.

“Are the preparations being done?”

“Already done sir, St Roche and Codetalker are on their way to rendezvous with us here, most ships have already left the harbour and are holding off the coast, we’re just waiting on last minute resupply for the cargo ship and some more aircraft for the Watchdog”

“Right okay then” The Colonel stood up. “Give me about four hours and have a chopper ready to get me to Watchdog, I’ll make that my flagship”

“Yes Colonel” The Commander left to do his task and the Colonel would go on to make some last-minute orders and go home to pack and say goodbye to his family.
