The Swiss are contact almost immediately after the aid is given to the Legion. The message is short. "This is the Enclave President, John Henry Eden. I'm concerned that you have broken neutrality and sent aid to those who slaughtered and enslaved my people during the last war." So, they know that the Swiss are helping, but are unaware that they're mercenaries.

The assistance does not go unnoticed. Numerous Enclave soldiers with Aisha and Jericho immediately go to protect them far more fiercely than before.

****************************

The Legion sends their thanks to the mercenaries. The Enclave has not yet approached the Oklahoma border, which is giving the Legion a chance to build up a decent defense.

"This is the Swiss chancellor, Raphael Bertinelli. Those soldiers are mercenaries. Any property of theirs or those who hired them are fair game. In this instance, it would be the Maroni family. If we wished to break neutrality, we would have sent a more substantial force."

The mercenaries are placed under the direct command of Legatus Lucius.

After intercepting the Legion transmissions, Roald decides to act, if only indirectly. He begins to order old obsolete ZPCI arms that the Municipal Army has in surplus to be sent secretly to the Legion, and any questions as to the origin of the arms will be answered with "an anonymous private benefactor" as opposed to "the government of the UMNA" or worse yet "the military of the UMNA".

Bismouth either doesn't know or doesn't care or both.

Seriously, small nations surrounded by big, powerful nations don't do this sort of thing.

The Legion may be about to learn an important lesson. Shortly after Eden spoke with the Swiss and Hew decided to become involved, a single video file is sent across the globe. Its timestamp is dated after the agreement with the Legion was signed. What it shows is Caesar himself presiding over executions of Enclave soldiers and clearly enjoying the blood bath. The audio that goes with it reveal that these soldiers were begging for their lives, some going as far as saying 'we surrendered!' over and over. From this video, only one survived. A girl of about fourteen. Caesar clearly called for her to be thrown in with the slaves. Any study would reveal that this was not a doctored video. Everything appears to be real.

The Enclave still has not advanced on the new borders. It's like they're waiting for something instead.

**************

The A&A response to all this is one of 'fuck them' to the Enclave and 'tough cookies' to the Legion. Of course that's not what they're verbalising to the Legion. They're getting a typical 'Sorry but we just can't dedicate any military assistance at this time, however humanitarian aid is on the way.'

The video is blacklisted and not shown or discussed in the Bismouthi media. The government ignores it. It doesn't have the capability to launch an effective expeditionary force anyway. That's what you get for focusing almost entirely on defensive capabilities.

And with that, a few hundred of the mercenaries hired quit, about five percent of them, mostly as they like being able to not rot in jail since they can be prosecuted for any war crimes they commit. Yes, mercenaries hired and deployed overseas must obey Swiss laws of conduct towards prisoners of war and civilians and they will prosecuted if found out. As to the response of the Swiss government, their reaction is otherwise sheer indifference.

Also, the flow of Municipal arms suddenly stopped. Although Roald did realize that he was going into morally grey territory in doing so, he didn't realize the extent of the war crimes committed by the Legion. Now he's in the "let them kill each other, I don't need to help them" mindset.

The Legion seems to have little response to the video. Yes, they did receive it.

****************

From the Enclave, a message is sent out. "This is Enclave President, John Henry Eden. Should the Legion agree to return any Enclave slaves and cede control of the Eastern and Southern United States to the Enclave, not including the United Municipalities of course, there will be no need for further bloodshed here." No mention of New Vegas. Either they're not interested in them or they're waiting on that one until later.

********************

Again, there's little response from the Legion from this. Either they're considering it or just waiting for the right time to strike back at the Enclave.

There is more indifference on the part of the Swiss Empire.

(OOC: However, the person behind the Swiss Empire will be kind of annoyed if he has to radically redraw the map.)

Moore has little reaction to the video. He's fairly outraged but he's done the same to surrendering Legionaries.

Ahh yes, of course Moore did so. It was a time of war.

The Legion response finally comes through. "We will not cede any further territory to the Enclave. What that video did not show was what had occurred before. Those captives were attempting to assassinate Caesar." And since the Enclave started the video campaign, they release a video themselves of Enclave officers also shooting Legion captives that had surrendered. They also release a series of videos showing the Enclave experimenting on people, sometimes with high radiation doses being given to them.

The Enclave reaction to the refusal is to storm the Texas/Louisiana border. They're not bothering with Oklahoma. They don't want it. Besides, they did offer peace for the return of some of their land. They did appear to be willing to work with the Legion.

In Louisiana, some of the old Enclave personnel begin sabotaging the Legion defenses, making it much easier for the Enclave to gain entry into the state and major settlements.

A statement comes out of Bismouth condemning the human rights abuses by both sides, but currently, the statement has no teeth, and it won't unless a more powerful nation like A&A or the Swiss decide that there should be international mediation.

Those mercenaries go wherever the Legate wants them to go. If they get sent to the Texas/Louisiana border, lots of those 7.62 armor piercing rounds will be fired at Enclave troops.

Yes, the mercenaries are asked to go to the Texas/Louisiana border where they're losing ground rather quickly. The Legion can't seem to hold them back. Just the sight of Aisha and Jericho seems to have the Enclave's desired effect of almost paralyzing fear until they run.

Again Eden sends out his call for the Legion to cede control of the same territory and release Enclave slaves.

Lots of 7.62 rounds are pumped their way. The two dozen T-90 battle tanks and dozen Dassault Mirage 2000s make for that front, too, doing their thing when they arrive.

The Legion once again refuses.

Aisha and Jericho go to where the mercenaries are located. Aisha targets the non-legion technology with her new tesla cannon. Jericho goes for anyone not in Legion uniform. Some other Enclave personnel do the same. They're not ignoring the Legion, but they're not focused completely on them.
