5 Baptista de Andrade-class corvettes docked in Ostend would be stocked with munitions and basic provisions, their crews debriefed and ordered by headquarters would mentally prepare themselves for the journey ahead of them.

Joining the crew of the 5 vessels was 2,000 infantrymen who were tasked with securing ground control and pacifying the face with lethal force if need be. Morale was high and it was hoped that Mayotte would fall within a period of at least six days.

The conditions for capitulation would largely depend upon the strength of enemy resistance, resources, and tactical ability of hostile forces on the ground.

Portuguese Intelligence Operatives stationed in Belgium would notice a spike of unusual activity on the city of Ostend, and would secretly inform their SIS main headquarters in Lisbon. They would yet again send another message through a secure line. "Austin just got 5 new Chevies in his garage, all of them are white. He's also inviting 2 of his friends to his house, wonder what they would be doing?" MSI operatives were quick to decipher the encrypted message, and immediately inform the Ministry of National Defense, as well as the Brazilians securely. While the movement of such a large amount of troops to Ostend was surely suspicious, it was not enough for Portugal to take any serious action.

The 2,000 infantrymen would be reduced to 600 so as to reduce any possible strain on supplies and space on board the 5 corvettes. Those taking part in the operation would be briefed on their objectives and given clarification aimed at ensuring that confusion remained minimal if not outright non existent. A fuel supply of at least five weeks would be stored below in the halls of the corvettes.

The Corvettes would make their departure in the early evening slipping out of port at 4 pm via Ostend, round 8 pm several of the sailors would relax on the decks as the sun slowly set upon the horizon. Communications on board would be excrypted and encoded to prevent compromising operations against the French.

⌈ ROLEPLAY NOTICE ⌋

Hello @Flying Damascas

You muse use the Transit Map to determine your Route from Belgium to your arrival at Mayotte, an overseas region of France. Considering France is controlled by @Logan , you must remember to tag him so he's aware of this Thread.
Keeping within the Ruleset, your Corvettes are not armed as you did not state the Armament or their Personnel Complement before deploying. I advise turning around to ensure this is done.
