Chapter 103
International security/Welcome to the Family
August 1st 1995
Imperial Palace War Room
Kassandria Egypt.
Imperial Generals Admirals and other high ranking military officials and commanders looked at a map of the Arabian Peninsula, after years of political turmoil and rebel uprisings the Arabian Empire had finally died with the fall of its Capital and the death of most of its royal family.
The City of Riyadh had been under siege by the Extremist faction known as the Sons of Allah since 94 when they had crushed the Royal Army defence that guarded the only remaining supply lines to the government Controlled Ad Dammam.
The Arabian Government had denied all offers of international support from both the SRU and NATO stating that the Royal Forces would crush the minor rebel groups, but now the Spartan Military had a huge problem on there hands.
With the complete collapse of the Arabian Government, it now left the Trade link of the Red Sea was now under threat as was Egypt and the protectorate of the Ethiopian Empire it was decided the Queen would need to be informed with all haste there was just one problem the Queen was in Greece with her family and would not appreciate being interrupted but it had to be done.
Imperial Palace Gardens
Sparta Greece
The entire Agiad Family as well as the Potters and Delacour's were in the Gardens of the Palace enjoying a lovely summer day with food and Drink, Kassandra looked over at Lord Delacour and could see the same confusion she had about being invited by Princess Gorgo.
Come to think of it Gorgo had been acting very strange since that Farce of a tournament back in England, when everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves a little later on Gorgo stood up gaining the attention of the group.
"I'd like to make an announcement that is of great importance to me, I have found my soulmate." To the shock of everyone it was Kassandra who was up pulling her youngest child into a hug. "Oh, my love this is wonderful I am so happy for you." Before turning to the young Veela her eyes turning golden.
"I welcome you into my Family Heiress Delacour but if you break my Daughters heart, I'll rip out your soul and burn in in the fires of Hades myself are we clear." Said girl now pale as snow nodded her head causing Kassandra to smile before hugging her too.
The 3 Families laughed at the interaction even though in the back of there minds they knew Kassandra was not kidding they continued to eat and drink while the younger children played in the pool while musicians played a calm melody.
It went quiet when a man in full Armour ran into the gardens dropping into a bow before his Monarch. "Your Majesty urgent News from High Command". Taking the letter, she dismissed the soldier while reading the contents of the Letter unaware her Wife was reading it over her shoulder.
My Sovereign
I write to you with the most urgency I can muster, we have received confirmed reports of the Fall of the City of Riyadh and the total Collapse of the Arabian Empire.
The Government forces guarding the Red Sea ports and settlements on Arabia's coasts have deserted fled or abandoned their duties in an effort to regroup their forces which are now scattered across the Empire.
As such the Province of Egypt and our Protectorate of Ethiopia are under threat from increased Raids as well as the Security of the Gorgo Canal, we have increased our military presence in the Red Sea as standard procedure but it will only delay the problem, we await your command your Majesty.
Yours Sincerely
Alexander Pompey
Admiral of the Red Sea Fleet.
Kassandra stood quickly summoning her Armour to her body along with her spear and shield Turning to her shock family and soon to be in-laws she smiled. "I apologise for leaving early however the security of the Empire and our Allies does take priority in this situation as it effects the financial stability of the rest of the Globe." With that she vanished appearing in the War Room in Kassandria she was met with her High Command bowing to her.
It wouldn't be long until other nations got involved especially the United States who had attempted to get involved in every hotspot across the Globe, President Bush had all but demanded access for the US Fleet to be allowed to pass through the Gorgo Canal back in 92 only for the Spartan Government to refuse stating that having a Foreign Power who until only recently had considered us enemies have their ships within their territories would be most unwise.
They had no choice but to sail around Africa before landing at Salalah pushing the Rebel group in the area into the Rub-al-Khali where they were eventually forced to withdraw from the area deciding to focus on defending the lands they had taken and training the new conscripts to the Royal Arabian Army.
Kassandra had a choice to make would she invade the Peninsula and if she did what would she do? Would she conquer the region or would she attempted to restore the Remaining members of the Royal Family to the Throne.
Her Officers all suggested different ideas from invading the Peninsula to sending it back to the Stone Age with a massive Bombing Campaign but she wasn't really paying attention to there suggestions as she thought back to her youngest Daughter.
Her Little Girl had found her soulmate a very rare thing even for a Goddess after all her two eldest daughters had not found anyone to call a partner, but that was their problem they were Goddesses deemed to live forever, Gorgo was lucky as a Veela, Fleur would live as long as her mate did, she would most likely stop ageing when she hit her 30th year.
Quickly turning her attention back to the officers, she stood causing them all to fall silent. "Gentlemen, the days of the Empire's expansion have long passed we must look to other ways we can gain influence this region while bringing it back to Order."
Looking down at the map it showed the different factions now fought for control of the Fallen Empire, there was the Royals however they were all pampered spoiled fools believing they had the right to Rule.
One of the many extremist factions could be useful if they could be controlled the problem was the groups were too busy killing the Royals or each-other or the Civilians of the Empire.
The last option was the Military divisions under the command of a prince of the House of Saud who was unlike his other relatives he was a minor member of the Royal House but a strong-minded military commander.
Which would she choose in truth she didn't know so she ordered her High Command to dispatch agents to inspect these groups to see which one she would support; she also sent a letter to the Emperor of Ethiopia to seek his suggestion as his nation was also threatened by the current Situation.
By August 10th Kassandra declared her support for the Monarchy's restoration while the Ethiopian Empire would launch a full invasion on the city of Aden in the Province of Yemen in an effort to secure the Trade Link to Egypt the rest of the Globe via the Gorgo Canal.
The war would last until 1998 when the SRU Backed Royalist Forces retook the Capital from the Rebels while the rebels and extremists were still a problem, they were pushed out of the large civilian population zones into the hills or the Empty Quarter.
Before that however a celebration was being held in Sparta when in 1996 with the Marriage of Princess Gorgo Agiad and Heiress Fleur Delacour they would go to Tokyo for the honeymoon and would be the honoured Guests to the Emperor of Japan before returning to the City of Athens where Fleur's Sister Gabrielle Delacour was a frequent guest when she was not at School.
