OPERATION ENCIRCLE///: PART ONE: AERIAL: Since we have air superiority, it is only fitting that we use that to eliminate any resources Tennessee could use to continue attempting to counter it since they have now downed a couple planes and a few drones. Targeted bombing campaigns of airfields, air strips, and other areas that can allow for their planes to take off are bombed to ensure they are grounded once and for all. Large drone swarms of our EC-Drones (kamikaze drones with the ability to fly long distances+do a lot of damage from exploding) will be targeted at their remaining air-defense systems while major ones will be bombed by stealth bombers. If Tennessee has any defense systems that can detect stealth bombers, we will just use multiple waves of drone swarms to overwhelm those systems and blow them up/render them unusable in order to be able to begin regular aerial attacks without the fear of our aircraft being downed. More minor defense systems will also receive the same treatment since drone swarms are far cheaper than replacing an entire aircraft, and they are easy to produce in large quantities, so a win-win scenario there. Missile storage/depots and launchers will then be targeted afterward so they can't counter with those or strike actual Florida territory. GROUND: Our forces will begin strengthening the encirclement of Nashville, setting up heavy artillery all around, accompanied by tanks and armored vehicles while supply routes are extended so we can set up and resupply faster. Civilians are warned to leave the city ASAP and are given a deadline from which we will begin a siege of the city afterward, which is why we want them to leave. We want as little civilian casualties as possible. We will make phone calls, use radios, leaflets, and any other forms of communication available so no one can say we did not warn the residents of Nashville. Once the deadline passes, all routes entering/leaving the city will be closed off, all will be checked by the Florida military for weapons and other things while aircraft will begin monitoring from above to ensure weapons aren't being smuggled into the city. Drones with infrared sensors and more will accompany helicopters in the night to continue the motorization. The goal is to starve the Tennessee forces in Nashville of ammunition and other necessary supplies needed to fight us off. Tennessee forces not in Nashville will be bombed aerially, with drones, and with brute force from our tank units, artillery, and more to ensure the encirclement is concrete. Our forces expanding on the eastern front will now focus on expanding through the territory west of the plateaus, where it is far flatter up until the west meets the actual plateaus so we can continue grabbing more land to demoralize the Tennessee military whose personnel will (hopefully) be looking at this situation and wondering whether victory is even still possible. Because at this point, it really isn't for them. GUERRILLAS: Since support for us is increasing mostly in rural communities, we will focus there since the economic promises seem to appease them. We will continue with our messaging in other rural communities for as far as we can get in the occupied territories so they side with us and not the guerrillas. For those not buying it because of the multiple fall outs back in Florida, we don't deny it, but attempt to convince them that it is all in the past, it won't occur much if at all anymore, those days are behind Florida but a long shot. Obviously, if Florida's government somehow does fall apart again, we might as well give up on convincing people that it will become stable. But other than that, we stay true to our words and also talk about how education will be on the rise, infrastructure will improve, their everyday lives will improve, they will be a part of Florida, there will be no barriers, there will be no need to fear us, and more to have them side with us so we can root out the guerrilla problem.
One step closer to victory?
