Introduction V.2.2 1 Gemigabok Presents: Winter of No Surrender A SERIES OF WINTER WAR - CHAIN OF COMMAND CAMPAIGNS CAMPAIGNS ONE AND TWO Fire in the Sky Defiance on the Huhti Road (v2.2) Art by P. Söderström, 1943 (SA-Kuva) " Finland will be presented with an ultimatum of territorial demands and if she rejects them, she will have to start military actions. This will start today." What Stalin said at lunch with Molotov and Otto-Ville Kuusinen, November 26, 1939 " Tell the Finns loudly enough… if they do not hear, then fire the cannon once, and they will raise their hands up and agree with the requirements.” N.S. Khrushchev, on what Stalin meant Winter of No Surrender - Campaigns 1-2 - Introduction v.2.2 1 SCENE 1 - 0245 HOURS, NOVEMBER 28, 1939 "Comrade comroty, there is a delivery. We need your signature." In the pitch-black darkness of the farm house on the western shore of the lake third company commander lieutenant Yevgeniy Stoikov wrenches himself out of the bed. He had just closed his eyes, or so it seems anyway. "What time is it?" he asks, fumbling for his trousers. "0245 hours," the NCO answers. Still buttoning his uniform jacket as he steps out of the house onto the moonlit yard, Stoikov takes stock of the situation. Three trucks with their engines running, 10 degrees below zero Celsius (14° F) and six obviously cold soldiers shivering in their summer uniforms. One of them is Sergeant Fyodorov, second platoon leader, and two are guardsmen from Stoikov's third company and the rest must be drivers of the trucks. All six salute. "Comrade comroty," one of the drivers announces, "private Gulinski, First Independent Supply Company, I need your signature here, here, here and here," he says pointing at a stack of official forms in three copies. "I see," Stoikov answers, grabbing the forms authoritatively, "please wait here." He gestures to Fyodorov, who turns and heads for the barn which serves as the bigger of the third company's temporary barracks, housing over one hundred men. Stoikov walks back into the house, draws the curtains and lights up the oil lamp, trying not to wake up the NCOs who are sleeping in the crammed room. Leafing through the documents, Stoikov smiles. 165 pairs of trousers, winter, 165 uniform jackets, winter. 165 wool hats, winter, pointed, model 1936, 165 pairs of mittens, winter, 165 pairs of boots, leather, 170 field packs, 1938 pattern, 170 gas mask bags, type BN, 170 shelters, half. It's all here, just as requested. The second paper reads 41 cases of ammunition, rifle, model 1908, in loading strips model 1930. The third lists 21 cases of the same and 60 cases of machine gun tracer ammunition type T-30. The last form reads 39 cases of MG ammunition, 18 boxes of revolver ammunition and 100 rifle grenades! Stoikov signs the forms and extinguishes the light before walking out the door again. Outside, Fyodorov's men are quickly unloading the heavy ammunition crates and piling them somewhere inside the barn. There seems to be no end to the crates. Standing beside Stoikov, sergeant Fyodorov whispers to him. "Comrade comroty, I've been doing some calculations. 165 crates... that is nearly 100 000 rounds of ammunition, more than three tons in weight. In the past three weeks of training here we've been allowed to shoot ten rounds per man. And now, a convoy of trucks rolls in and they deliver ten thousand times more ammunition. Comrade comroty, what are we to do with this many bullets?" "You need not trouble yourself with this, Fyodorov," Stoikov answers, "I'm sure this is just some bureaucratic foul-up, tomorrow they will come and demand all of these back. I know this happens all the time." But Stoikov knows Fyodorov does not believe a word he is saying, and he also knows the only mistake here is that the ammunition has been delivered too early. 100 000 rounds is four days' ammunition supply for the company. No orders have been given yet ammunition for attack purposes has been delivered. It is a dead give-away to any Capitalist spies who may be lurking in his unit - this is it, we are going to war! For weeks the battalion has been stationed here, preparing for a defensive war against the Counter-Revolutionary Fascist forces occupying Finland since 1918. But all the good intentions, all the negotiations and patience we've had with that lot of belligerent fools has come to naught. It would seem their treacherous artillery attack at Mainila has been the last straw and the Politburo have decided to settle the matter quickly. Good for them, Stoikov wants to get back home to his wife and his job at the People's Wicker Work Factory Number 18. The quicker we get done here the better. Hell, let's march all the way to Helsinki if we must, but let's get home soon!

This scenario does not really belong in this supplement, but it is a good one. o Desant Hunt: Soviet special forces operatives have been parachuted into Finnish rear areas. Will they be able to blow up a bridge or command post? Or will they be apprehended by teenage Civil Guards boys?

OPERATIVE FACTS IN SURRENDERS CREATION IN THE LESSEE OF A NEW INTEREST IN THE SAME PREMISES Where the lessee has accepted a new interest in the premises embraced in the original demise, and such new interest is incapable of existing along with the old, the latter is extinguished through a surrender "by act and operation of law." When a new interest of this kind has been created in the lessee, a problem arises which offers but two possibilities of solution. Either it must be held that the new interest is valid and the former interest extinguished, or else that the new interest is invalid and the original lease still in full effect. If the parties think in creating the new interest of its effect upon the original lease, it would seem that they must regard the old leasehold interest as ex- tinguished.

We participated in the 26th General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization and visited a number of United States, NATO, European Union, and coalition partners. There are several themes that emerge from the world of work that our Guardians perform this week and every week beyond our maritime borders. 1. The world is becoming more complex and the trend will continue. 2. The issues we face challenge existing governing structures that were created in different times to address different threats. 3. Asymmetrical threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, and illegal immigration are proliferating and challenge our governing structures and operational response models. 4. The value, relevance, and return of investment of Coast Guard resources has never been more appreciated. 4. Allocating our forces outside the western hemisphere has always been a challenge but the demand is likely to outstrip our capability for the foreseeable future. 5. These realities will require us to make tough choices in the near future as we reconcile supply and demand for our limited resources. I am more well informed and sensitive to the complex issues at play having made these visits.

  • What Amounts to a Surrender by Operation of Law?
    September 2010 Review Property @ction Welcome to the Fifth Edition of the Quarterly Review from Hammonds’ Property@ction Team. In this issue we will look at the following: (i) What amounts to a surrender by operation of law; (ii) Does it do what it says on the tin? - full repairing and insuring leases; (iii) Double trouble; (iv) Compulsory purchase orders; (v) Adverse possession; We welcome all contributions to this review and if you would like to discuss this further please contact any of the editorial team. What amounts to a surrender by operation of law? Where a landlord and tenant bring a lease to an end, they usually do so by completing a deed of surrender. However, sometimes, it may be implied that a surrender has occurred. The term commonly used for an implied surrender is a surrender “by operation of law”. In a recent case, QFS Scaffolding v Sable1 , the court considered some of the relevant principles for a surrender by operation of law to take place. Facts The landlord (Mr and Mrs Sable) granted a lease to a tenant company which eventually entered into administration. Prior to the administration, a new company (QFS) was formed with a view to taking over the tenant’s business. The Sables negotiated terms for a new lease with QFS who, in fact, went into occupation. However, the negotiations faltered and no new lease was entered into. Instead, QFS asked the administrator of the tenant to assign the lease to it and, as a result of this request, a deed of assignment was executed.

  • Understanding the Religious Terrorism of Boko Haram in Nigeria
    African Study Monographs, 34 (2): 65–84, August 2013 65 NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER: UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGIOUS TERRORISM OF BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA Daniel Egiegba AGBIBOA Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford ABSTRACT Boko Haram, a radical Islamist group from northeastern Nigeria, has caused severe destruction in Nigeria since 2009. The threat posed by the extremist group has been described by the present Nigerian President as worse than that of Nigeria’s civil war in the 1960s. A major drawback in the Boko Haram literature to date is that much effort has been spent to remedy the problem in lieu of understanding it. This paper attempts to bridge this important gap in existing literaure by exploring the role of religion as a force of mobilisation as well as an identity marker in Nigeria, and showing how the practice and perception of religion are implicated in the ongoing terrorism of Boko Haram. In addition, the paper draws on the relative deprivation theory to understand why Boko Haram rebels and to argue that religion is not always a sufficient reason for explaining the onset of religious terrorism. Key Words: Boko Haram; Nigeria; Religious terrorism; Identity; Relative deprivation theory. INTRODUCTION Since 2009, bombings and shootings by the Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram have targeted Nigeria’s religious and ethnic fault lines in an apparently escalating bid to hurt the nation’s stability. A spate of increasingly coordinated and sophisticated attacks against churches from December 2011 through July 2012 suggests a strategy of provocation through which the group seeks to spark wide- scale sectarian violence that will strike at the foundations of the country (Forest, 2012).

  • Rifle Divisions on 22Nd June 1941 There Were 15 Rifle Divisions in the Leningrad Military District
    The Actual Strength of all Soviet Land Combat Units in a Deployed (D) State on 22nd June 1941 Part IV 6 The Leningrad Military District (Northern Front from 24th June 1941) In this section we will focus on the actual manpower and equipment strength of the land combat units deployed in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. We will examine the strength of the individual combat units and reconcile this with the actual strength in the whole of the military district. Rifle Divisions On 22nd June 1941 there were 15 rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District. On 1st June 1941 the average personnel strength in these divisions was 11 985 men, or 83% of the wartime authorised TOE.1 In terms of personnel this made the rifle divisions in this district the strongest of any in the Western Military Districts when the Germans attacked. Three of the 15 rifle divisions (the 237th, 177th and 191st) were new and in the process of forming. The average strength of the 12 older established divisions was over 13 100 men, which made them close to full strength. Perhaps the Soviets maintained these divisions at higher than average strength due to the recent hostilities with Finland. Table Len MD Divs 1 shows the actual strength of the rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. Most of the rifle divisions were well established divisions with six formed before 1939, five formed in 1939, one in 1940 and three in 1941. The average rifle division in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941 had an inventory containing: up to or over 100% of their authorised MGs and mortars, around 93% of their authorised AT guns, 73-89% of their authorised light artillery and infantry guns (76mm), 78-102% of their authorised medium to heavy artillery, and all their authorised heavy AA guns.

The Engesa EE-T1 Osorio was a surprising development for Brazil – a tank that, while not in the class of the latest tanks of the time, one that was far above the league of the typical third-world offerings. In design, it was similar to many tanks of the time; this was not surprising, since Engesa had a lot of help from West German, British and French armor experts. The EE-T1 was very promising – an excellent design that several countries were very interested in. The Saudis in particular went as far as to place a pre- order of 318 for the Osorio. That deal, however, was essentially killed when the Saudis saw the incredible performance of the M-1 Abrams and the British Challenger, and they literally cancelled the Osorio order at the last moment. This resulted in the cancellation of demonstrations to other countries, the demise of Engesa, and with it a promising medium tank.
