They will storm the beach, and advance forwards, towards the enemy's main cities and strongholds. Meanwhile, our land-based army will begin to move towards enemy land as well, thus sandwiching the enemy between the two armies and the coast. Ideally, my fleet should have enough time to move around to the other side, and bombard their other coast, thus trapping them in the middle, or near the middle of their land. Then a few strategic missile strikes should wipe them out completely. Of course, most of the environment through which my armies pass will be wiped out as well, but that is the consequence of victory. In fact, I am going to put this plan into operation now." he said.
Immediately, a few officers rushed off, muttering orders over their radios.

The ships stopped moving 1 kilometre away from land. For a few minutes nothing happened. Then, all of a sudden, all hell broke lose!
Hundreds upon hundreds of missiles were launched at the land, fired from the ships, submarines and aircraft. Then heavy assault helicopters moved in, atomising everything in their path - coastal resorts, villages, small towns, even, were destroyed completely.
Meanwhile, smaller ships began to move away from the great carriers, each transporting their cargo of soldiers and tanks to the shore. After what seemed to be a few minutes, but in reality was closer to half a hour, the assault stopped. Anything which was within two kilometres from the beach was in ruins. Civilians were being herded into transport trucks, in order to be sent off into makeshift prison camps.
And the HYDRA 3rd Expeditionary Front was advancing inland...
Nationalist troops barely had time to react.
Within minutes their makeshift defense (already tired out and demoralized from fighting the UFSNA) had fallen. That didn't mean some just threw down their weapons.
Some fled to try and return to their families but some fled to warn the Nationalists leaders or to form resistance cells that'd fight off the HYDRA forces and their Monarchist leader.
OOC: If I might ask why are you guys being cruel to the civilians or just my nation as a whole? An odd trend I've been noticing.
