in the words of aphansius the 1st "we finally landed it, that was the hard part" now here is 2 explanations , both PU-NE and irl on why it took so long IRL:it took me so long because of how busy i was irl and the fact some of the code for like troops and stuff i did not understand it PU-NE: kurlandia kinda neglected his navy and now has built a mediocre navy that is enough to land the soldiers, planes ,and other wartime things, also a special adjustment has to be made for the tanks so that it could travel on sand 550,000 soldiers march into the levant, and this is the first wave, if needed we could send a million more (kurlandia since it has mandatory service in the military and does everything in its power to make you serve has ~2,800,000 soldiers and that number will grow) will go, and that is current members , if it gets desperate we could send every person that theoretically can serve in the army through a draft (including women) the landing begins in the city of haifa .with the unexpected arrival the casualties are about ~12,500 soldiers because this is a city. but a few thousand reinforcements are coming in to (mostly) fill in the roles of those who fell in the landing. the goal is to take jerusalem since there is the Greek Orthodox patriarchate of Jerusalem, which is one of the OG patriarchates before every Orthodox country got one. there is a very important thing everyone that is sent to this land, it is DO NOT DESTROY ANY HOLY SITES (Christian,Muslim,or Jewish) AT ALL COST,EVEN IF THE ENEMY HIDES THERE IT IS BETTER OFF LETTING THEM HAVING IT THAT NO ONE. so b*mbers have to be carefully on where they explode their things . the tsardom of kurlandia is in a mixed state right now, people are mixed about the invasion, but with the help of propaganda and justification in the next few days the tsardom plans to reduce negative looks on it by 50% .
