Since no news about King Giovanni and Queen Valentina were available, and because of the poor Savonarola's administration (see THIS THREAD, several people in the north started asking for a new King to be proclaimed, and immediatly looked at Prince Amedeo of Savoia. The Prince of Savoia is the closest cousine of King Giovanni, and therefore would be the next in line for the Wine's throne.
However due to Savoia's very conservative policies, not all the Winians are happy to embrace Prince Amedeo is their new King, in the south the Repubblic of Wine was proclaimed, while in the heavy industralized north-east, the proletariat even arrived to the point of proclaiming the People's Repubblic of Communist Wine.
Meanwhile in Wine proper, the senate managed to get Savonarola out of the office, and nominated Princess Elisa Bennati, the older sister of King Giovanni, the new dictator of Wine, giving her full powers in order to bring Wine out of this crisis.
Last but not least the Catholic Fundamentalist Liberation Army, took the opportunity to finally achieve their dreams, and proclaimed in the center of Wine the "Holy Empire of God".
All the sudden what was once one of the most important nation of Apolyton found himself splitted in 5 different nations, all at war with each other.
Here are the factions:
THE Royalist Wine: Those are the provinces of Wine who remained loyal to King Giovanni, they believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and his probably somewhere held in prison in what has been proclaimed the Holy Empire of God.
They do not recognize any of the other four governments in Wine, and seek to reintegrate them into Wine, and to reestablish King Giovanni.
They are backed by the RIAW, and by several old members of the Morelli's government, including the Marquis Leone Tigrotti (the old defence minister) and the Count Davide Pianola (the old foreign minister).
They are the most powerful faction in the civil war as most of the winian armed forces remained loyal to them. Although they lack morale due to the fact that King Giovanni is still lost.
The Savoyard Wine: The people living in Savoyard Wine do not believe that King Giovanni is still alive, and want Prince Amedeo to become the new Wine's king. The Principality of Savoia still didn't recognize them, due to their ties with the real Wine government, but is secretly funding them.
This is a rather weak faction.
The Repubblican Wine: In the south many people dislike Prince Amedeo, and have always been much more open to the idea of a repubblic. They are a rather strong faction, due to the big population living in there, and due to several branches of the military joining them. They want a system of two Prime ministers that share the executeve power (OOC: similar to modern day France)
The Communist Wine In the heavy industrialized north, the people who didn't want Prince Amedeo also tried to proclaim a Repubblic of Wine, but due to the heavy percentage of workers living in there the communist ideals were much stronger than the ones of a capitalist repubblic.
The communist wine is a very weak faction, but they are also the one with the highest morale, and they are also very well organized in a very rigid stalinist system.
The CFLA Wine When the Catholic Fundemantalist Liberation Army kidnapped King Giovanni they were just hoping to be guaranteed some heavy payment in exchange for the King's return, they surely did not expect to cause such a big mess. However as soon as they saw an occasion they immediatly took it, proclaiming "The Holy Empire of God" in the middle of Wine. They quickly activated all their cells in Wine and immediatly started to attack the strong, but dis-organized Repubblic of Wine in the south.

There have been unconfirmed reports from intelligence sources that the Centralis MSS is going beyond it's usual role of domestic security and counter-terrorism and has been directly supplying assistance to the forces of Republican Wine. Asked for comment, MSS head Megan Kroeger categorically denied the allegations, while Centralis President Arrayende said that "While I most certainly did not authorize any such assitance, in view of the current, very bitter divison within the Cabinet over the civil war, it wouldn't greatly surprise me if someone had decided to overstep their authroity and act without permission. This is currently being investigated."

Thanks to help (diplomatic economic or military) from Jackson and Noosland and thanks to their numerical superiority and better strategies the Royalist forces managed to defeat a large CFLA army that was approaching the city of Moscato.
Also it appears that the Royalist and the Savoyard in the north, decided in not attacking each other and to do a common front against the other forces, especially the CFLA and the Communist.
The Communist had managed to create a rather large army and are now thretning the borders with the Savoyard and the Royalist.
Another CFLA expedition was intercepted by the Repubblican navy and destroyed, signing a major victory for the Repubblicans in the sea, however a major attack by land by the CFLA forces proved succesful, in capturing the towns of Freisa and Spumante. The two towns were under direct CFLA control until a Repubblican counter-offensive managed to liberate them, thanks to the Repubblican air-superiority.
The Royalist Government claim that the Repubblicans are winning because of some foreign help, however Repubblican authorities strongly denied that, and called Princess Elisa (the sister of King Giovanni, now in charge of the Royalist forces) a lier.

Thanks for your help, if we manage to rescue King Giovanni and Queen Valentina it is possible that some of the other factions may join back into Wine.
We know what the exact location where the Royals are held prisoners, as we have some RIAW agents infiltrated into the CFLA organization, although we can not attempt to rescue them yet, as we know that at the first sign of danger they might be killed by the CFLA.
We think this situation will end faster than expected, we just need to wait for the right opportunity to strike against the CFLA.

Is the town of Barbaresco a stronghold of CFLA? Is it possible to contact Agent 002 and smuggle items to him?
You speak of changing guards, do you mean all of them (35 for the prision + 15 with the royals), or just the 2 following the royals around, or other combination?
How do they secure food and drinking water?

It seems that the Royalist and the Repubblicans decided to temporary put aside their differences and coordinated a double attack against the CFLA forces, which are taken in the middle of a two front war.
The CFLA Army was forced to retreat by the Repubblican Army a long way till the river "Birra", where they managed to finally stop the advincing Repubblican army.
On the north things are not going any better for the CFLA, the Royalist managed to capture the Mount Grappa, and liberated several towns and villages in their path.
The CFLA have established two defensive lines in order to resist against the attacks of their enemies, the Saint George Line in the north, and the Saint Patrick Line in the south.
It seems that the Savoyard are also preparing for entering the action, the Savoyard and the Royalist recently signed a pact in which they declared in not attacking each other until the other threats are gone.
This released a lot of men for both factions, and the Savoyard forces seems to be heavily concentrated near the border of Communist Wine.
The Communist fortified their border with the Savoyard and Royalist, but concentrated mainly in the production and in icreasing the industrial output, in order to produce more aircrafts, the communist also concentrated in training many pilots.

Barbaresco is not the CFLA stronghold, actually the inhabitants of Barbaresco do not seem happy about the CFLA gov't. However Barbaresco is a very easily defended location.
We believe that the CFLA picked that location for that reason, as it is far away from the coast, it is at the foot of the big mountain range running acroos Wine, and is defended by a river running 6 kilometers in the east.
We were talking of only those 2 guards looking over the royals, the other have 8 hours turns.
all their supplies come from Barbaresco, which is also where most guards come from.
It may be possible to contact Agent 002, by using the same watch he is using to comunicate with us, but you must know the morse code to use it. We will provide you with some of those watches.
Sending him items can be done, as we can send some of our deliveres to Gelso (the location where Agent 002 is), than contact the Agent with the location where he can find the items, but it risky as we know Gelso is very well fortified.

Could you give us precise information about the town, such as geographic location, faction ownship, nearest Royalist stronghold, number of defenders, equipment and moral, who is in command, etc.

This seems to present a weak link, but further informatio is required. Such as frequency of these deliveries, who makes them, etc.
Also, do the prison guards (all 50 of them) rotate? That is, do new guards from Barbaresco take their place?

So Agent 002 is not in the prison compound, but just inside the CFLA?

No, Agent 002 is in Gelso, that's where the Military HQ of the CFLA is located.
Barbaresco is much more nearer to the Repubblican front than to our front, all prison guard rotate, ALL at the same time, three buses reach every eight hours the prison bringing the new 50 men inside the prison, and taking the other 50 back to Barbaresco.
Supplies come once aver two dai at 6:00 AM, the CFLA military transports take care of that.
As I said most guards actually come from Barbaresco, and all of them are based in that town.
We now that the defenses of Barbaresco are under the direct control of the CFLA Great Bishop Antonio Pizarro, We know there are some 250-300 soldiers in the whole town, and also we know of the presence of some AA Turret and of a small armored batallion consisting of 6 tanks.
Also here is a map with the locations of Dolcetto (the CFLA capital) Gelso and Barbaresco, as well as the positions of the Royalist and Repubblicans fleets, enforcing a blockade around the CFLA coast.

To Noosland and Royalist(secret):
Our carriers are now in postion for launching a possible rescue mission for the King and Queen. We have 4 Hellocopters that we can use in this mission. Our plan is simply to strike during the guard shift changes. The key of course is speed and to dissorient the guards. Two copters will serve as the transport for the troops, about 24 in all. The other two helicopters will be attack hellicopters that are heavly armed and provide support for the men on the ground. We plan to pull this mission off with in 10 mins, before the local forces have a chance to respond to the attack. What we need of course to pull it off is plans for the prison and the extact local of the King and Queen. We would also like the support of both your nations. Of course this is not set in stone but merly a proposed rescue mission.

From: Royalist
(secret, as always)
We have thought of similar plans some times ago as well, however changing their 50 guards with 50 of our men is very risky, as it is absolutely not simple to infiltrate 50 men in the CFLA.
If we are going to act we need to do it with at least a 99% chance of success, as we can not risk the lives of the royals.
However, Noosland second plan give us a great idea: We may slowly infiltrate some of our men in Barbaresco, and make them join the Barbaresco Forces. By doing it gradually the CFLA won't suspect of us, while if we are to have 50 young men all join the CFLA at once it will be a bit strange.
Our RIAW Agents will go into Barbaresco, and take the place of some of the civilians living in the town, we know that there is a large number of people in Barbaresco that is against the CFLA regime, and we know the names of 484 of them, as they are all scheduled in the CFLA criminal records (which was transmitted to us by Agent 002).
Than those agents will join the CFLA Armed forces of Barbaresco. When we have 50 men infiltrated in their Armed Forces, we will enter their computer system, and make it so that all our men will be placed as guards in the Barbaresco Military Prison in the same turn.
Once the're in the prison, we will need to find a way to safely bring them home, with the Royals on their side, and this could be a problem, we all know that Barbaresco is in the inside, and for the helicopters to go there will means they will have to go through the CFLA AA systems, unless the helicopters may fly really high it will be a bit risky. But since our men will be in the prison, we won't have to fear for the lives of the royals, and in order to protect the Jackson Helicopters, we will escort them with 2 full wings of our Elite Fighter-Bombers Group.
Maybe this could work out.
We thank you for your decisive help, and please tell us if you have some other suggestions.

Princess Elisa, Regent of Wine

Our men are in Barbaresco now, there are 5 small division of 9 soldiers, each division is lead by a RIAW Agent, exactly those agents are: Agent 001, Agent 004, Agent 005, Agent 012, Agent 022; Agent 001 is also the mission leader.
Once our men will be inside the prison compound, our joint forces will attack Barbaresco, while we have already agreed with the Repubblicans that they will attack the Saint Patrick Line, while we will do the same with the Saint George Line in the north, the CFLA forces will be too busy to care of what is going on in the prison compund.
We have ordered our men in Barbaresco to place a time bomb in the three buses that will go from the prison back to Barbaresco, that way we will eliminate them.
Than once they'll give us the signal, we send in the Jackson helicopters, which, with the protection of our fighter-bomber wings, will rescue the royals and our soldiers in the prison.
Tell me if it is ok, and if you are ready, than we may begin the operation. Although I have a request, when attacking Barbaresco be sure to limit as much as possible the collateral damage, there are Winians living in there.
