Regaining the east
The LSSR would order its army to launch several expeditions towards the East to make contact and reconnect with the old Rodinan Citizens, as we reconnect with the old country we shall slowly integrate the cities severed from the collapse of the previous nation. We have no time as there are foreign nations that try to carve up our former lands, we must hurry so that we can secure our boarders and people.

Fighting for the Frontier
4 hours ago patrol squad was ambushed and destroyed along the Kolchyn river with only one survivor living to tell the tale, with further reports of engagement along the entire river from the eastern side. Assuming it to be an entire army of the Whites, the 1st Armored Infantry division was sent off to test the newly developed armored tractors against the army of the Imperialists, along with the 15th, 21st and 32nd Infantry Divisions.

The situation at hand
After pushing to the frontier and penetrating the rivers defense the prisoners caught by the army reveal that it isn't a singular entity that exists throughout the East. They reveal the existence of the Black Army, Kirov Army, White Army and the Anarchists. and forced one of the prisoners in recreating the Map and identifying the places they occupy within the Frontier.

Steady progress
With the use of the experimental Tank division the military has achieved more success that initially expected, as Tank supported with infantry performed well in breaking through trenches and fortified positions. As the Tank division continues its success, the advance was halted as the commander feared overextending and getting surrounded. Due to this the commander of the 1st Armored division had halted its advance and started assisting in the neighboring divisions to stabilize the front. |

News of the armed conflict among the warring successor States in Rodina was worrisome, but not unexpected. The Communists had already clashed with the Imperial Province before, but they had largely abandoned hostilities, turning their armies instead to smaller, less organized neighbors. One such neighbor was Southeast of Imperium-controlled Rodina, a group of Cities who had coalesced under the White army, an offshoot of the original Monarchist faction the Imperium had helped previously. While they had at the time disagreed with their peers in installing the Semenovs as Tsars, times were increasingly desperate, and they reached out to the Imperium for aid.
"Your Majesty, the Rodinan White Army calls for aid!" said one of Isabel's aides.
"Aid? Now? We cannot sustain two wars simultaneously. Though I would very gladly be rid of the suffering that Communism in Rodina has caused."
"Your Majesty," Said General de Sousa. "If you will, I believe we have an excellent opportunity on our hands. We cannot hold all of Rodina, our reach only goes so far, and I doubt we'd be able to reasonably control it all. That being said, I believe we stand only to again in helping the White Army."
"War is abhorrent." Said Archbishop Nicolau. "I would know. But think about it, your Majesty. So many Christian souls, suffering in famine and poverty, barely beyond our borders. I believe we have a chance to aid thousands, if not millions of people."
Prime Minister Cīštin nodded in agreement. "Reverend Nicolau is right. And besides, a Strong, organized, and allied Rodina would be of much more use to us than the Province in its current state. There are enough children of your line to allow us to install one of them as Tsar. And since you are Tsarina, supporting the White Army would give them further credibility."
"Very well. I hope that by taking this step we can avoid further bloodshed. I have my doubts, but you have my blessing to act on this decision. We shall aid these Brave Rodinans."
To the White Army command,
We are glad to hear of you. On behalf of Her Majesty's Government, I'd like to extend the Imperium Magdalenum's support to your cause. The Rodinan people have suffered countless perils in recent years, and we had hoped we could put an end to that suffering on our last campaign. Unfortunately, while our efforts did bore fruit and a safe haven for Rodinans was established, many are still suffering abroad under tyrannical Governments. We will aid you on ending this cycle of violence, by providing you with supplies and sending you RAFIA operatives, with whom you will be able to more efficiently spy on the enemy and protect your own intelligence from foreign ears. We will also offer you some legitimacy by pledging to install One of Tsarina Isabel's children, Pedro de Roque, as the Sovereign Rodinan Tsar, should the war effort prove successful to you.
Regards,
His Excellency, General of the Army and Chief of the RAF António Nunes de Sousa

<The White Army>
Dealing with the Anarchists
General Binkov has finally decided to launch an offensive against the Anarchists after a telegram of the news that up and coming support from the Royal Family in the west will be coming. As he spread the news to his troops, morale has somewhat recovered. Giving men enough hope to comply with an offensive that will target the southern Anarchists to secure the boarder. Weapons and ammunition have been supplied from the recently built smaller factories that employ women and late teens to deal with the shortage and logistical issues temporarily.

<Rodina> The Anarchist threat receding
Reports from the White army command in the southern front has easily broken through Anarchist frontlines, as the lack of cohesion and uniformity finally came to stab them in the back. After a few days of fighting, eventually the Anarchists started experiencing ammunition shortages to be able to fight back properly, the Anarchist zone has been occupied by both the LSSR and the White Army and are now a new front for the both armies. |

<LSSR> The Soviet offensive stalling?
Due to the internal coup ongoing in Sol-Galitskaya the Temporary replacement for the head of the Soviet forces ordered the halt of the offensive, as the chaos and situation behind the front need extra men to be dealt with. Therefore some frontline troops will be called back to their respective garrisons or to surround Sol-Galitskaya to restore order by any means necessary. |

To the White Army command,
I hope the war is fairing well. I am glad to report that our participation in the conflict between the Tholes and Sadaler is over, and that roughly 200 000 of the men and women of Magdalenum are willing to join you as volunteers. They, of course, will also be accompanied by veteran officers from our own conflict in Rodina. Hopefully their experience will be of use to you. We will also be aiding you by creating a naval exclusion zone around Rodinan waters. Hopefully this will allow our fleet to make quick work of enemy vessels.
Regards,
His Excellency, General of the Army and Chief of the RAF António Nunes de Sousa

His Excellency, General of the Army and Chief of the RAF António Nunes de Sousa> On behalf of the White movement. It is appreciated that help is on the way, however… We cannot stress the issue of the severe lack of weapons and ammunition we currently face, especially considering that the wretched reds have started using steel tractors against us. With our only way to deal with them is to directly fire artillery, or to blow it up using several grenades. If possible then we also request ammunition and weapons to help us hold the line, we do not know how long the communists will stall their frontlines. But we do know that without fresh supplies we will fall by next winter regardless of men.

Clearing a Path
There was no way around it. A path to the land controlled by the White Army had to be cleared, if the Whites were to survive. Diplomats from the Rodinan Viceroy were sent to the garrisons in Sol-Galitskaya. They sent couriers before them, who carried with them a message:
Men of Sol-Galitskaya,
We bring you an earnest offer. The Government of the Soviets in on the brink of collapse. It has already fallen into infighting, and we fear that thing will only get worse. Please, we ask of you to hear our humble offer. Let us aid you in ending this senseless fighting. Too long have the people of Rodina bled for a war with no end in sight! We would like to aid you. We would like to give you peace. So please, let us join forces and fight as one. Let the Imperium protect you from the Loss of even more innocent lives.
Sincerely,
His Excellency, Grigori Popov, Provincial Viceroy of Magdali Rodina

A State of War
The Viceroy could stand it no longer. Long had he toiled, and for what? His brothers across the border still bled, still suffered under tyrannical Governments. It was high time he did something about it. But he could not. The Empress would not approve it. She, understandably did not want any more Magdali blood wasted, after how hard they had fought to keep this small Part of Rodina stable and safe out of the kindness of their own hearts. Finally, he had it. He called the Provincial Minister of Infrastructure. "Vladimir, cut all the communication lines to the Isles." He said. "Grigori, what are you up to?" Said the old Engineer turned Minister. "You'll see. It is better to beg for forgiveness than for permission. Call me back when you're done." "Alright. I hope you know what you're doing." "I always do." From: His excellency, Provincial Viceroy of Magdali Rodina, Grigori Popov
To: The Soviet Government
Remnants,
I fear the worse has come to pass. We cannot await any longer while we see our brothers bleed from across the border. We will have no more of this! With my power as Acting Emperor, know that from now on a state of War exists between us. We will put you to the sword, and you will pay. You will pay for every Rodinan life that has been lost because of you. Know that the might of the Imperium Magdalenum stands behind us. You now stand at the precipice of annihilation. Surrender now or die.
Sincerely,
Grigori Popov
A few days latter...
"HE DID WHAT?!" Said Isabel, nearly smashing her chalice against her desk. "I... I'm afraid you did not mishear me, Your Majesty." Said General de Sousa. "Grigory seems to have found a loophole in our Provincial Laws, and deliberately cut communications with the Isles temporarily so he could act as Acting Emperor and declare War on the Soviets." "That snake! Why when I find him, I'll..." She sighed. An aide poured her more Port into her Chalice, since she had spilled all of it on her initial outburst. "Alright. Call the troops. I do not want to make us look like cowards, that would only legitimize the Soviets. God, when will we ever be rid of war?" "Never, it seems," Said the aging General. "At least we have a chance to finally make peace in Rodina." "Indeed." She said, sipping her wine. "And when this is all over, I'll have Popov's head on a silver platter." |

Later that week, the commanders of the White army would hold a military parade in Volsk. As both civilians and the men in uniform shout and chant the name of the Tsarina in the west.
The White Army has officially come under Isabelles command. |

<LSSR> Quick Action
The Soviets uppon hearing the declaration, had ordered the 1.3million men ordered to guard the Magdali front to launch a series of offensives to ware the Magdali defenders down. As the men of the Soviets get into position, a general would make a speech in front of his men before the attack begins.
After 3-4 days of preparations, the Soviets finally barrage the Magdali frontlines with massive rows of artillery. While the men stationed in the boarder start to advance towards the Magdali positions. At the same time the the Red Fleet was ordered to bait Magdali warships further inland to sink them using coastal batteries.
The war of survival had finally begun. |

8 regiments, 2 battalions, and 3 companies of men are up for hire. Discreetly, an RAFIA operative makes it into the little detective's office in Omsk. He carries with him a message. Friends,
It has come to the attention of our mutual associate that you have in your possession several weapons of war you would like to test on the field. We are willing to do trade with you for them. Our mutual associate has recently come into possession of an asset that you have expressed interest on. Say, what if one were to crash? Truly, that would be a tragedy. We would be more than willing to trade you the "crashed" asset, if you were to be more lenient on certain prices.
From your friend,
José de Mello

Rodica was sitting at her desk, head in her hands to calm the splitting headache that had dominated most of her thought for the past year or so. A missive from the conflict further east lay open on her desk. A moment later her office door swung open and a man and woman dressed in the traditional uniform strode in.
"Thank you for joining me." Began Rodica, lifting her head to look at the new comers, "I have just gotten word that Magdalenum over east has declared war of the soviets. Hopefully we can gain two allies by supporting them in their endeavour."
"and so you wish to... hire... our services to fight this war."
"Yes."
