Island hopping

[Mogar]

Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha were of strategic value to many nations over the centuries, and Mogatopia was no different. Naval shipyards had been at work since MoG[Corp] began on Orbis and the first half dozen Comoros Class AAS would be sent on what would amount to a training exercise and a good first mission, along with at least eight Réunion class escort vessels per AAS, along with a pair of Stormberg class cruisers and four Hugo Biermann class destroyers would be sent to the islands in question and began a quiet VTOL invasion of the islands for annexation within the MoG[Corp] sphere of interest. In total the islands held just over 6,000 people. and primary concern was getting into contact with local governance and persuading them into a peaceful transition of power.

São Tomé and Príncipe on the other hand held particular value to MoG[Corp] interests due to being one of the prime locations for a space elevator, and were included in the military exercise, but along with the pair of Comoros and their flotilla, included dozens of container ships filled with hundreds of engineers and construction workers, along with carbon nanotubes and various other construction materials to begin immediate work upon a space elevator.

"Due to increasing threats across the globe, MoG[Corp] will be working with local governments in the South Atlantic to ensure a secure and stable transport network for all vessels that travel through the region. Questions or concerns can be directed towards my office."

Multiple bands of radar would be deployed on the new holdings, with information being all fed into a central location for each island, allowing for the overlapping data to be able to more easily detect stealthy and low flying aircraft. Regular drone and AWACS flights would begin to observe the surrounding oceans, with particular interest in Ruhr military and civilian vessels, the data being used to study patterns in patrols and preferred routes, but all military vessels were of more importance of course. Several container ships, designed to look full even though most of their containers carried nothing but ballast in most of them to make the massive ships appear to be full of regular goods. The top layer of containers would instead be modified into easily concealed BrahMos missile launchers, allowing for what would be an incredibly difficult to detect decapitation strike against any enemy navy within several hundred miles.

MoG[Corp] intermediaries would use several of the high value targets detained in regards to the human trafficking that was plaguing the planet to gain contact and eventually control over most of the criminal elements of subsaharan africa. With said influence nearly all human trafficking was stopped in the region, drug trade however was somewhere between ignored and explicitly encouraged, with cocaine and marijuana and nearly anything else nonopiate being entirely legalized and maintained to pharmaceutical standards in MoG[Corp] territories supplies were plentiful and the various gangs had their own contacts globally to allow for market expansion without significant risk towards the company itself.

The United States will closely observe the Mogartopian Military activities. However, the United States will respect the policies made by MoG[Corp] as the ruler and decision-maker of Mogatopia. And we are questioning about the purpose of Heavy Weapons deployment. Does it very important and needed?

It is nice to see a fellow head of state take military more seriously. We will be observing you and offering you supplies to help your soldiers' training. Perhaps some Amenrian energy drinks and "power pills" will boost your soldiers' morale? I just hope you will use your strength for good and not to harm innocents.

"What heavy weapons deployment? The only notable military equipment we have brought upon these islands is anti aircraft batteries, mostly to ensure that our efforts there continue unabated, our naval missions have all been entirely humanitarian, it is not as though the islands have turned into fortresses overnight."
