Admiral Jack Reed walks into the press room and stops at the podium set up for the conference.

Reed: Good evening everyone. At 1700 HRS today, the countries within the Southeast Asia sub region all declared themselves to be apart of the Fourth Reich. At the same time, Australia, New Zealand and India announced they had joined in an alliance together with the Fourth Reich, and subsequently declared war against the Confederacy of Independent States and her allies. At this time, no attacks from any of the countries stated have launched an attack on any members of the Coalition. We do not know their motives for doing this, but we believe that either their governments had been infiltrated by Federation agents, or that they have been overthrown. Our military is on its highest alert since the war began. The declaration of war comes as the campaign in the United States begins to escalate more and more. We have nothing else for now, but when we do we will inform you and hold another press conference.

The press was too stunned to ask any questions, and before anyone could ask anything, Reed walked out to begin preparations for an attack.
