The Irish face heats up further. A few days ago the intervention of the monarchist Premier,who had launched strong signs of détente,had hoped that a diplomatic solution was still possible. Analysts have had to think again. A few hours ago the Premier itself,contradicting as said before,has branded the Republican faction as a "group of terrorists",explicitly rejecting any form of dialogue. Meanwhile, the royal government leaked its intention to take military action against the Republicans: an attack seems imminent. The response of the European Government does not have to wait long: was immediately launched an inter-ministerial summit,chaired by the President of the Council of Ministries Martin Schulz,to decide what action to take,which was followed by a meeting with the Parliament,to inform MPs about the situation.
We will expose the governative moves through the worlds used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,Catherine Ashton,during the press conference a few hours ago. The Minister has begun: "The monster threw the mask. A few days ago monarchist Prime Minister, David Cameron, with demonstrations of strong relaxation and willingness to deal, he made the whole world believe that a diplomatic solution was possible. Today our hopes were smashed to pieces,diplomacy has crashed in front of a wall made of useless rhetoric ("they are terrorists,they threaten us,think to the children",and so on) and violent responses. The Republicans are not terrorists, they did not hurt anyone, do not want war, they do not want violence. They just want to improve the country, eliminating the rampant corruption in the monarchy: they want democracy and rights, nothing else. We can blame them in any way? Their enemy is the monarchical government, corrupt and inefficient, and no one else. The only ones who should be afraid are the corrupt and members of the monarchical government. The rest of the population should support their demands,given that Republicans are defending the interests of every single citizen of Ireland. And the links between the IRA and the Republican party? Are lies and falsehoods,nothing more than that. The royal government did not care about the interests of the population, since with its inconsiderate and criminal actions is sliding the whole region into the abyss of war. The sole purpose of the royalists is to continue to make money on the backs of the poor people, nothing else."
After this long introduction,the Minister went straight to the point, exposing successive moves that the European Government is about to embark: "We, unlike the monarchical government, we are still willing to negotiate. In particular, we are bearers of a shared mediation, that is, on the one hand initiate radical democratic reforms in the country, expand and respect the rights of citizens and to combat corruption. And on the other, to keep the monarchy, but without executive powers. We are available to treat, taking as a basis the proposal, and we are also available to participate in any international summits." So the Minister continued: "We have reason to believe that the royalists are preparing a massive attack against the republic. So we will strengthen the military device deployed on site, with the sole purpose of defending the interests of a sovereign state. We will not attack anyone,unless they are our enemies to fire first. Therefore, any attack against the Republic or against European military or humanitarian personnel in place,will be considered as an act of war, and treated accordingly. We really hope to not have to get up to this point, but in any case, we will be ready. Humanitarian operations, support for the population and the local government will continue in any case, even if, in the case of fighting, the non-combatant personnel will be withdrawn in a few hours."

The Ministry of Defence has announced the expansion of the military device in this area, officially for reasons of detterrenza and defense for the protection of European and Republicans interests in the area. Much of the unit already present has been withdrawn and replaced with fresh forces. Humanitarian personnel and non-combatant in the area has not been withdrawn,and operations to support the local government and the population continues. However, through special logistics devices, these units can be quickly withdrawn in case of fighting.
In particular,the Navy announced the deployment of the Carrier Strike Group 50,of some units of the Destroyer Squadron 65 and of (from the 3rd Fleet). According to official data,is present on site the "ENS Barracuda ("Integration Class" aircraft carrier),seven "Arleight Burke Class" destroyers and four "Ticonderoga Class" cruisers,as well as an unknown number of "Virgina Class" submarines. The carrier will provide the basis for logistics operations and for the control of air space defense, while the other units, in addition to defending the territorial waters, through advanced defensive systems, will provide protection against air and missile threats. The logistical and organizational effort of the Navy Sealift Command have been strengthened consequently. The units previously present (Destroyer Squadron 52) have been withdrawn. The whole 3rd Fleet was put on alert.
The Air Force announced the deployment of some squadrons of 31st and 35th Fighter Wing,for air defense operations. It was deployed,according to sources,also an AWACS aircraft for the actions of command and control actions,from the 603th Air Communications Wing (all units from Third Air Force,Overseas Air Force Command). According to unofficial sources,most of the squadrons of the Global Strike Command has been put on alert,for actions of strategic deterrence. The logistical and organizational effort of the Air Mobility Command have been strengthened consequently. The units previously present have been withdrawn.
The Army has deployed on the spot most of the units of the 101st Airborne Division and of the 3rd Mechanized Division (Army Airborne Corps). These units, including artillery brigades, aviation and armored cavalry, will have the task of defending the territory, especially areas where civilians reside and strategic infrastructures. The logistics network and the network of regional offices and bases has been enhanced. The previously present combatant units have been withdrawn. On the spot were deployed for operations of defense against missile threats,in support of the brigades already present,even the 121st "Ravenna" and the 5th "Pescara" Air Defense Artillery Brigade (Army Air & Missile Defense Command). The logistical and organizational effort of the Army Corps of Engineers and of the Army Medical Command have been strengthened consequently.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance,meanwhile,implemented a series of harsh economic sanctions against the royal government. Much of the imports have been blocked indefinitely,while all investments towards this nation,public and private,have been withdrawn. However,government sources ensure that Irish citizens in Europe will not suffer any kind of threat or retaliation,for them life will continue normally. After these countermeasures,mixed with those already implemented by Eurasia,analysts believe that the consequences for the Irish economy will be heavy. Suffice it to say that,months ago,they were just the European and Eurasian sanctions to deter Tokugawa from invading Caucasoid.
