Carney: More Provisions needed to defend Hastiga

The State Chancellor of Hastiga, Mark Carney, has called for more provisions to be made to defend Hastiga from the advancing Red Federation forces. Reports have been released that Red Federation forces, particularly naval forces have been seen advancing towards the Hastigan State. Carney made sure to note that Hastiga had previously been invaded and repulsed during the last great war and claimed he had no intention of seeing such happen again.

‘Hastigans, I’m sure many of you have read the news, the bleak news that enemy forces are advancing towards this Island once again and it is our job to repulse them. The Hastigan National Guard is prepared to defend the South Eastern shore and has already begun to prepare for evacuations of those living in the areas. Whilst we have made the appropriate preparations for warfare, it appears that the Falleen Imperial military has not done the same. Few troops have been moved to Hastiga to defend this island from invasion, despite its close proximity to the enemy fleet. Few provisions have been made to aid our own evaluation measures. Quite simply parliamentarians it’s not good enough. Corrintrin has displayed a lack of care or effort for the people of this island, but that can be rectified. The State Government has now lobbied the Imperial Government not only to grant more troops and assistance to defending this island, but also to allow the State Government to expand the number of active National Guards in this time of crisis. By doing so we will be able to accelerate our own defences, and the process of expanding those defences and preparations for conflict. Should we be granted permission this house will be presented with legislation and I expect all members of it to support the defence of our state. For we will fight the enemy wherever they do attack us, we will not cede this island again.’
