Schulz gives First, Third Fleets patrol orders.
After meeting with his military advisers this morning Chancellor Acwulf Schulz has given Strategic Commandant Admiral Laurent Stage orders for the First and Third Strategic Fleets to embark on indefinite patrol, but the locations are being kept classified. The prestigious and massive NRS Jannik Rommel leads the First and the NRS Lorenz Himmler leads the Third. It’s no secret that the FSF has control over Projekt Ares, as there are unshared exercises also planned during their excursion.
Chancellor Schulz, Armed Services Minister Ashton Berkshire nor Admiral Stage would provide explicit details on the orders, only stating that they are a matter of preserving our homeland’s safety and security. A heavily redacted internal memo detailed these orders as “peaceful, but alert.”
This is a developing story…

Kanzleramt responds to regional instabilities.
The recent wave of instability that has affected Declansburg has not gone unnoticed by the leadership in Vienna. These issues have caused Kanzleramt to increase security and surveillance throughout the Nationale Republik, with Chancellor Acwulf Schulz releasing a written statement to international media services:
“The recent instability that has affected our region has not gone unnoticed by the Nationale Republik. In fact, we have increased our own security and surveillance, have postponed the Vienna Conference, and I’ve ordered Strategic Fleets out on indefinite patrols. More actions are being discussed and all precautions are being taken. For those on the receiving end of these cowardly acts, we are here. For those targeted—terrorist acts will not stand. If you need us, please reach out.”
The statement was brief but another is expected in the next twenty-four hours. Chancellor Schulz in the meantime has quietly given the orders for the addition of two Strategic Fleets, the Second and Fourth, to embark on their own patrols. Defense Minister Ashton Berkshire would not share details.
More information is expected soon.

Schulz makes sudden advisory changes.
Chancellor Acwulf Schulz, 25, has appointed his older brother Pier Schulz, 30, as his Foreign Minister, replacing Rommel/Werner holdover Patricia Koehne. Koehne has retained the Deputy Minister of Foreign Relations for Intelligence position. This decision was made during a meeting between Schulz and Koehne at the Foreign Ministry this morning, and done so mutually. Chancellor Schulz’s brother had been serving as the ministry’s intelligence chief since Deric Werner’s government.
Chancellor Schulz also replaced Defense Minister Ashton Berkshire with the current Strategic Commandant, Admiral Laurent Stage. This change was also effective immediately. He met with the two men at the Defense Ministry this afternoon. Admiral Stage will have full authority over the Defense Ministry, as will Minister Schulz at the Foreign Ministry. Both individuals will serve as Schulz’s most senior advisers, which include Chancellery Minister Liam Werner, longtime Intelligence Minister Angelina Fromm and very few others whom all serve as top-level HOMECOM advisers. Porter Scray has also been selected as treasury chief.
Admiral Cord Schindler has been appointed the new Strategic Commandant. Other top personnel changes are rumored, with intelligence chief Fromm staying put.
(Fun fact: Intelligence Minister Angelina Fromm is based of Judi Dench’s “M” in the James Bond films.)

Suspected terrorists arrested in Vienna.
A terrorist plot and its foiled perpetrators were apprehended by GSG-9 agents in southern Vienna this afternoon in an apartment with a clear view of the central district, the host of many high-level government agencies. A map found hung in the apartment had certain areas marked including the Intelligence Ministry, the GSG-9 headquarters, the Defense Ministry, and Kanzleramt.
Intelligence officials have gotten into the heavily encrypted messages and other paraphernalia obtained from the raid. While the information is not being made public, those behind the planned attack have been discovered. Chancellor Acwulf Schulz is meeting with his advisers on how to respond with Foreign Minister Pier Schulz even suggesting a tactical response.
The cause of this planned attack are not yet known. Intelligence Minister Angelina Fromm stated that her agency will have a final report in the coming days once the rest of the information obtained has been deciphered. She also suggested the military be placed on High Alert, which has been granted and effective immediately.
This is a developing story.
Update: The suspected terrorists will be held indefinitely at the Wentworth Institute as the investigation continues.

❗️Nationale Republik Outlaws Communism.
Breaking news out of Vienna today informed the nation that the National Council has passed the Anti-Communism Act after many hours of talks with citizens and government leaders, with Chancellor Acwulf Schulz signing the ACA from his office at Kanzleramt. During the signing of the historic legislation he stated that Communism “stands in the way” of freedom and progress and has no place in the Nationale Republik. “That’s just not who we are,” the Chancellor said. “I can assure that no citizen of our country will be personally targeted or explicitly sought out. But this is now the law which means we are all responsible for living it,” Schulz concluded.
Please stay tuned for additional developments.

Strategic Command tests Projekt Ares.
After months of mechanical and software updates and hours of computerized testing, Strategic Command and Alice Industries (the conglomerate that developed the system) tested Projekt Ares’ guidance and weapons systems against a defunct supercarrier, which used its own systems to try and divert Ares’ wrath. The testing was conducted over many hours at an undisclosed oceanic location, and was “beyond” successful says an official involved. This puts Projekt Ares once again back on active, indefinite duty.

NR to embrace ‘full steam’ diplomatic agenda.
Foreign Minister Pier Schulz discussed the state of the Nationale Republik’s foreign agenda with Chancellor Acwulf Schulz and other inner circle advisers, saying it’s time for the country to go “full steam” and seek out nations who’re worthy of a relationship with us. Minister Schulz recommended hosting national leaders to a conference in Vienna on an individual basis to discuss economic and diplomatic matters, with other topics embraced if requested.
Chancellor Schulz shared that his Government has a short list of nations who take priority due to their trustworthiness. These nations will receive coveted locations for their respective embassies and unobstructed access to Kanzleramt when needed. “It’s time we begin moving ahead and we know who we desire to stand beside us going forward.” the Chancellor said. This will begin in the coming days.

Developing: Explosion devastates Vienna motorway.
Just minutes after 9am an explosion tore through the busy intersection of the Chancellery and Vienna motorways, injuring and killing several hundred people (according to preliminary reports). Federal Sheriff Minister Northland Hull says his agency received reports of suspicious activity in the area and agents were surveilling the area as the device was detonated, and that the agents were also lost as they attempted to apprehend the individuals. "Our agents surveilled and they patrolled the area for several days and when they discovered where the terrorists were staying... they attempted to take them in. The terrorists wouldn't let that happen and now we are dealing with a great loss of life," Hull said. Minister Hull went on to say his agency will be working alongside both the Intelligence and Homeland Security Ministries to get to the bottom of how this happened. "We will work with everyone to get to the bottom of this, and those responsible will be found," he concluded.
Chancellor Acwulf Schulz addressed the nation just under one hour after the attack and vowed: "Whoever is responsible for coordinating this cowardly attack against us will pay the ultimate price; they will be hunted and they will be found. We will not rest until justice is done... All the innocent lives lost will not be forgot, they will be avenged... Despite this, the Nationale Republik will prevail."
Minutes after the attack the City of Vienna and all surrounding jurisdictions have been placed on high alert, with the Federal Sheriff ramping up policing and Homeland Security increasing surveillance. Chancellor Schulz gave Hull's agency emergency orders stating during a closed-door conference that "no stone" should be left unturned until the Nationale Republik gets to the bottom of this. As the country's premier policing agency, the Ministry of the Federal Sheriff already has complete access to the GSG-9, which are used as a detection and elimination force. Kanzleramt is warning other countries to be on constant watch for these types of acts. "We all must stay vigilant, the world we live in demands it," he said.
The complete resources of the military are on severe alert with detection assets and other appropriate measures activated.

NR to begin Arctic Sea patrols.
Developing: Kanzleramt announced a new policy today aimed at keeping the Arctic Sea clear of unlawful marauding, with naval fleets of Strategic Command taking up indefinite patrols of area waters. This will serve to secure the area for nations who share and have mutual interests within the sprawling area. Strategic Commandant Admiral Cord Schindler assigned the Eighth Strategic Fleet as leader of the new Arctic Security Force, and they will be assisted by the Tenth Strategic Fleet to allow the area to be covered at all times. Area nations are encouraged to assist if possible. The area has unofficially been named the Arctic Sea by NR Strategic Command until an official name can be agreed upon by all area nations. All waters surrounding the Nationale Republik will also be patrolled by other assigned resources.

❗️Schulz calls for Chancellery election.
Chancellor Acwulf Schulz issued a media release this evening sharing with the public that he has called for a Chancellery Election. The date of the election has not yet been announced but some expect it to be held on October 5th, the original date mandated for such an election. Schulz said that he’d prefer the people of the Nationale Republik “chose on their own” who’d they like to serve as their Chancellor for the next eight years. Federalists have already announced Chancellor Schulz as their Chancellery Nominee and Independents have yet to make their own announcement, which should be made in a few days.
If he is able to keep his position after the election Chancellor Schulz plans to continue his attention on policies such as the economy, scientific technology, arms manufacturing and natural resources; foreign affairs like the creation of an international military organization and continued aid to allied nations. This is only a short list that has been provided by Schulz’s campaign with details coming soon. This will be the first election in a decade.
The first campaign event for Schulz will be in Vienna next week at Umbrella Field, home of the nation’s premier Anstreben FC. Chancellery Minister Liam Werner said that the official campaign song will be “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship and the Anstreben stop will focus on foreign affairs.

Schulz to kick off Chancellery run.
Chancellor Acwulf Schulz will formally begin his chancellery campaign tomorrow with a stop at the new Umbrella Field, home of the premier Anstreben FC. He is expected to discuss some domestic and foreign policies, with law enforcement, science and technology, as well as terrorism being Schulz’s focus. This will be his first national campaign but he’s heading into it with immense popularity, and at only 25-years old the youth factor is also in his favor. The event is expected to draw thousands of supporters.

❗️Fromm pushes for threat assessment system.
A meeting between officials from the Foreign, Intelligence and Defense Ministries earlier today in Vienna unearthed an assessment system aimed at listing nations whom the Nationale Republik deems a threat to the homeland. It has been confirmed that there are nations on the list but details remain classified. Intelligence Minister Angelina Fromm suggested that Kanzleramt review the report and consider establishing a working threat assessment system. While the thoughts of Chancellor Acwulf Schulz are not yet known on this issue, it is believed that no decision would be made until after the election in November.
This is a developing story.

Lower Arctic patrols continue.
The naval patrols imposed by the NR within the lower arctic waters have managed to cover the vast space, including location discovery for a possible Arctic Patrol Station somewhere in the middle, and patrol beacons have been set into place throughout. The main entrance point to the lower arctic is also being watched by the NR with two naval vessels positioned. “Securing the lower arctic on behalf of our neighbors is imperative, as we want it to remain clear from questionable prowlers,” said Defense Minister Laurent Stage during a media briefing at the Kriegsrat.

❗️Schulz’s message resonates with voters.
Kanzleramt reported that the first campaign rally for Chancellor Acwulf Schulz was a success. His campaign said that Schulz’s message pledging a safe and strong Nationale Republik and a tough stand on world instigators resonated with voters. No actual policies were presented as he used his Umbrella Field rally to introduce himself and to discuss his outlook. The chants and cheers were deafening, making the Federalist nominee beam with pride. Polling data shows Schulz leading Independent nominee Kurz by over ten points. The next campaign event will be held in Munich next week at the Envision Convention Centre.
