WAR?

Dastardly attack on Swiss Convoy!

July 27th

Just two days ago, a convoy of Swiss ships bringing food, medical aide, and supplies to the embattled Zionites was without warning, and without regard for human life or laws of the high seas, brutally attack on the high seas by a combined force of Italian, German, and French warships. However, the Swiss High Seas fleet, which was in the area, bravely sailed to the rescue, despite facing insurmountable odds.

Despite the odds, the Swiss launched attack after attack into the face of the enemy battle line, crushing the enemies defenses, and sending the mighty enemy fleet running like frightened kittens to hide in their harbors.

Casualties are yet unknown but initial reports say at least one enemy battleship was sunk with the rest badly damaged and about 5 enemy heavy cruisers sunk.

The date of this news article happens to be the same as my birth date, so of all the war related news articles, this one has the be the truth. ;D

[The Rock Doctor]

I really didn't think you were that old.

[Walter]

Yes, I'm ancient... but it could all be false information, just like my statement. ;D
(I'm actually -55 on July 27, 1919)

[Borys]

Date: three days after the first clash with DKB forces:

By way of the Rohirrim Embassy the NeoSwiss Government is delivered a Declaration of War by the Habsburger Kaiser-und-Koenigreich.

Congrats Walter.... on the other hand this news article is also published in New Swiss before any ships other then the French even reach a port?

[Walter]

I suspect wireless but that is something the Italians aren't familiar with. *runs away* ;D

[ctwaterman]

I would too but even Wireless from damaged ships 5000 Miles from Australia and more like 9000 from Phoenix ???? 

Ok the Zionist built a wireless tower but thats 3500 miles,  maybe a relay of ships, but honestly we are talking a good atmospheric bounce to get anything.   

I honestly think this is another example of Instant Global Communications.

Wireless to New Zion and then by mobile telephone cable to New Switzerland.

Other options are:  

That the NS SSS has prepared the message and posted it on a simple code sign send via Bharat.

That NS spies at Djibouti  used the French wire network.

@ Walter, there is no wire from new Zion not controlled by France, Italia or DKB.

[Guinness]

I agree. I wonder if Swiss propaganda postings might ought to be moved back a week or so. Depending on operational security (ie, how chatty the French are or how many NS spies are at Djibouti), I'd expect it would take at least a week for news to get to Phoenix, possibly quite some time longer.

[ctwaterman]

There is NO Cable From New Zion to Anywhere... If someone thinks there is please tell me where the Cable link or map is I Havent been able to find it.  The Only cable on any of the maps in the Rift is not controlled by New Zion and I guarantee they are not using it.... ;D

So No no Telegraphs for New Zion or New Swiss forces inside the Rift....

[Desertfox]

Wireless from New Zion to someplace that does have telegraph lines... not that hard.

[Borys]

Carrier pigeons?

[maddox]

Wireless from New Zion to someplace that does have telegraph lines... not that hard.

As I wrote, Wireless to Masirah - only thing needed is a small radio post- from there a wireless message to Bharat, and from there it can enter the telegraph lines.
