OP: Neolvex
Co-OP: Realm of Councilry

---

The year is 1910, Neolvex was at the height of it's empire and the Realm of Councilry was flourishing in economic success. While both superpowers were usually at good terms, considering their shared Scandinavian borders, a recent border incident which involved the death of 3 Realmian Border Patrol Units,1 Neolvexian Civillian death, and 2 Neolvexian Border Patrol Units caused tensions to skyrocket. The normally lax border between the two became an impenetrable wall of infantry, air attack vehicles, and armored vehicles. Diplomatic missions by the each nation ended up with terrible results, making tensions go off the charts. Recently an accidental discharge by one of the border patrol men (it is not confirmed which side had the discharge) led into a full scale skirmish. The Neolvexian government was quick to react and issued an ultimatum to the ROC which stated it had 10 days to surrender to Neolvex before a full scale invasion was launched. This ultimatum was met with the Realmian forces that were building up at the Neolvexian border to begin to charge into Neolvexian territory, catching the units placed there caught off guard. After the report of the invasion reached the Old Moscow, Neolvex declared war against the Realm of Councilry. Now the two superpowers fight to death, in a struggle to see who comes on top. If they can come on top.

[Neolvex]

Old Vex Hill, Old Vexia

After 1 week of trying to improve relations with the Realm of Councilry, but failing miserably, the Intercontinental Empire of Neolvex officially had declared war on the Realm of Councilry. It was quite silly really, the entire thing happened because of a small border incident, yet the superpowers of Neolvex and the ROC were cranking their war machines.

Emperor Jameson Darke hadn't been the one to decide to send the ultimatum to the ROC, so he was in a terrible mood when he learned that the ROC and Neolvex were officially were at war. "Damn the war cabinet." he muttered to himself as he walked to the podium. Darke looked at the gathers for this public statement on the conflict before clearing his throat and speaking. "Dear citizens of Neolvex, we have been tricked by the economic machine of the Realm of Councilry. For too long they have spoon fed us exports to soften our economy for their coming invasion. They tried to make us ripe for the plucking, to make us unprepared for their slaughter. But we shall endure these attacks! We shall not fall, but instead strike back at the ROC scum! I promise that the ROC will fall, if not then may God damn me to hell."

Realm of Counrilry/Neolvex Northern Border

Private Garry Trishik was petrified. No, that was an understatement, Trishik was fucking petrified. He was one of the soldiers sent directly from boot camp to help fortify and push the Northern Front Line. The Neolvexian military had quite the technology evolution with machine guns, assault rifles, and something they called "Land Dreadnoughts" (interwar tanks) but the Realm of Councilry had two great advantage over Neolvex Empire. The sheer number of the Neolvexian Soldiers and the machine gun exports from Neolvex. If the Neolvexian soldiers were to charge their toward the Realmian line they would get mowed down by the rapid fire of the Realmian Machine Guns and the Neolvexians would be down a good 100 soldiers. Soon it would be his turn to charge across the fields of trenches. Soon it'd be his turn to die. "NEXT BATCH! READY UP!" Garry shivered. It was time. He clenched his rifle dearly and prayed to whatever God that was out there to keep him alive. "LOAD UP!" He lined up by the slope leading to 'No man's land' and checked if his rifle was loaded. "FIX BAYONETS!" Garry lowered his gun so that the bayonet would be able to stab someone. "READY!" Garry closed his eyes and began whispering "As thou wilt" "STEADY!" "As thou wilt. As thou wilt. As thou wilt." "GO!" He opened his eyes, screamed at the top of his lungs, and charged toward the awaiting ROC soldiers. He watched at the corner of his eyes as his fellow soldiers crumbled but kept charging. He knew they couldn't take this line. He kn- Just like the rest, Garry met death.

[Kalarax]

The Kala Palace

News about the border skirmishes in Neolvex and ROC began to worry the Emperor. Even though they were allied with ROC, they were one of the closest countries to Neolvex. They needed to begin mobilization immediately. In the early mornings the trenches began being constructed on the two Kala-Neo borders on either side of the Caspian Sea. It wouldn't be long before ROC began calling out it's allies to fight.

The Emperor decided that it would be fit to inform ROC of thier mobilization, besides that it would be kept a secret, or, as much of a secret as they could.

Kalarax Military Telegram - Maximum Encryption

To: The Office of the Leader of ROC
From: The Kala Palace, Emperor's Office

It has come to out attention that you may begin calling out your allies to help in the coming war STOP We are wondering what your plans are and whether Kalarax is part of them STOP We promise to aid you to the best of our abilities STOP and maybe we can enjoy a territorial extension into southern Neolvex.

Signed,
Emperor Levinski Peshkov

The West Caspian Front of the Kala-Neo Line

Private Grigori didn't like digging trenches, but he knew if he worked hard it would be over faster. He always wondered what it would be like to fight a battle. He knew he would find out soon. He was hopeful in the coming battle, Kalarax had an incredible industrial base, for the time. They were able to produce lots of weapons and supplies solely on manual labor because every known criminal or volunteer was working in the factories. An hour later the Sergeant began announcing the hour half-hour lunch break. He began to walk to the dug in barracks at the back of the trench lines.

They were going to build three tiered trenches, but only on this front because they had enough time to dig them all. They would also build dug ins so that troops could take cover during artillery barrages. Grigori's only fear was that the army of Neolvex would go around the front lines and attack from the eastern flank.

[Realm of Councilry]

Royal Palace

King Nicholas was furious. He couldn't believe what he had heard. He had just notified the General of the Army to start the attack plans. While speaking to him, he had learned that due to recent laws from Parliment, he could not legally draft men for war. He knew this would be a problem, due to Neolvex having far greater military numbers than the ROC. He would speak to Parliment as soon as possible, but that was not the most important thing to do. He had to speak to allies. If he could have their help, surely their chances would increase substantially. Suddenly, the telegram officer came in, saying he had an urgent message from one of their top allies, Kalarax. He quickly read the telegram, and asked the telegram officer to send back a message.

Thank you for your quick actions on this matter. We need the help of all our allies. I will send my military advisor to your nation, and there he can tell you about the plans.

Thank you again,
King Nicholas

[Eodor]

Guilfeld, Capital of the Eodorian Socialist Republic

Premier Erik Stauffer sat calmly in his office. Nothing much had happened that day. Today was just a quiet, normal day in Guilfeld. The Republic' Supreme Commander of military forces burst through the door, his epaulettes gleaming in the rays of sunshine coming through the window. "Premier Stauffer. The ROC and Neolvex are at war!" The Premier stood up from his chair and was visibly surprised. "Ready the Military Field Marshall. We shall aid Neolvex in their war. And hopefully regain our rightful territory in Europe." The Field Marshall nodded and left the room. Closing the glistening mahogany door behind him.

Official Telegram. ESR War Office, Guilfeld.
To: Neolvex

It has come to our attention that you and the Realms of Councilry are at war. It is in our best interests to aid you in this war. The Republican Third Army will be displayed to your Northern Frontier to aid your own troops.
Good day.

Neolvex Border, Republican Third Army Barracks
The 185,000 men of the Third Army were gathering their gear and looking over at the country they will fight and die to protect. Many soldiers were elite veterans of the Slavic Wars. Some, however, were inexperienced recruits. Once the Neolvex commanders had responded they would move out.

[Kalarax]

The Kala Palace
Emperor Levinski Peshkov

The Emperor paced in his chambers. The Northern front was now secure, but none of the officers in the Kalaraxian army had a lot of experience, and he feared the army would be unprepared to make a move if ordered by the ROC. After days of waiting he finally received the telegram he had been waiting for. After quickly reading it he began to rejoice, the ROC were sending a military adviser, this would be just the tactical advantage they needed.

A room was prepared for the arrival of the adviser and the Emperor had turned his main hall into a massive war room consisting of several maps and battle plans. But, the room was soon to be moved to a more secure location as to avoid possible espionage.

The Eastern Caspian Front
Sergeant Gunery

The Sergeant quickly read over his orders before burning them and discarding the ashes in the Caspian Sea. He was to discover the extent of the Neolvexian navy that was station at their end of the Caspian sea, and to what extent that front was defended, or if it could prove to be a exploitable weakness in Neolvex's defenses. He began traveling towards the border, this would be the most difficult part, but after successfully crossing, he would be able to see what they were up against, the fate of Kalarax rested squarely on his shoulders.

[Aterria]

Oregon Border

For many years, the Republic of Aterria had bided its time as it expanded, absorbing nearby nations without much conflict. The few times that Aterria did go to war, victory had always been the result. Now, the Republic looked upon the Alaskan and Oregon territories of Neolvex and eyed greedily. The region was full of natural resources that Aterria had wanted since the 1800s, and it was now ready to take them. There would be no declaration of war, just a sudden and brutal attack. With sheer force and surprise, high command hoped that the war would be over by Christmas, and that Aterria would gain more territory. Roughly 300,000 soldiers had been gathering on the borders for awhile now, and were prepared to push into enemy territory on moment's notice.

[East Niphilate]

Himeji Castle, Home Islands
Emperor Kalpha Sittlelator sat in silence as his aide informed him of the declaration of war. The ROC had been a reliable ally. He had hoped that the alliance would prevent any Neolvex aggression. There was no way around it now. Korea would need to be reinforced. Conscription and mobilisation needed to begin as soon as possible.

Their army was not great, he knew that. It was strong and could hold off an invading force on its own turf, but it wasn't great enough to invade a superpower. For one thing, their technology was behind. They didn't have a single aircraft to speak of, their machine guns were the same as those twenty years ago and their Artillery was based on the ROC. The best chance he had in this war was the wait while the two giants slugged it out, before coming in from behind with a well planned offensive to quickly consume the tired behemoth.
Korean Front
General Anton Parlov oversaw the deployment of 200,000 men to the border. Railroads were being constructed for easier supply and trenches were being dug for easier supply. A few towed Artillery pieces were being stationed as well. Large traps were being dug, in preparation for the motorised troops Neolvex could use in an offensive.
There were no offensive plans in place yet. He knew the Niphilate military could not stand up to the sheer size of the enemy before them yet, not when they had not fully mobilised. However, until then he would make sure that the Niphilate front would be far too much trouble to bother with for Neolvex to weaken its other fronts and send troops across the continents to deal with.
Tarwam corporation headquarters, Home Islands
Chemicals magnate Amadeus Tarwam smiled, before patting the back of the Minister of Defence. They had just watched a demonstration of a new form of warfare. "You can't win this war normally, sir. The other powers can out produce us and match us man for man. There's a chance the enemy will try to knock us out early, and if they do, we will need a cheap, easily deployed weapon that can be produced en masse."

[Eodor]

Macedonia, Eodorian 8th Army
Eodorian troops had been advancing through Bosnia and Macedonia for months. Legionaries of the Eighth Army had been scouting the southern frontier. When a Macedonian trench was located.

Eodorian Artillery was firing shells into the trench. Creating enormous explosions and throwing dirt and body parts all over no man's land. Prototype gas shells were fired on the Macedonian trench. The Chlorine gas choking the defending soldiers.

Captain Andrew Davies wrote down the effect of the gas and sent it to the Eodorian high command. Showing it to be a resounding success.

[Swedish Allied States]

Paris, France
Maria's Estate

After Maria was given the position of the leader of France, she has now been trusted to lead this country into prosperity and greatness. Thus after she eats her breakfast, she heads out into the street to ask on what do the people want to see most from her new position. Maria: "Excuse me. I am the new leader of France and I would like a moment of your time." French Citizen: "Ok. What do you want?" "I would like to see what you wish to see from me in my new position." "Well I would like to see the economy improve. Maybe to get some new jobs for us. Maybe even some housing improvements for us." "Thanks for having a moment of your time to speak with me." "You're welcome!" As she went around town asking for what they wanted to see, she now had a list of what they wanted and headed back to her estate to go over the list. "Let's see. They want to see the economy improve, they want more jobs, better housing, better law enforcement, and an updated military. Ok. That should be it for today. Now what I need to do is probably head to bed. I need to get ready for another day of politics." As she got into her nightly uniform and headed off to bed, she didn't know that there were some people that tracked her to "have a good time".

[Danverda]

Red House of Commons,
Montreal, Quebec, Danverda

What's usually a calm, orderly, and old fashioned set of arguments by level-headed parliament members, has now turned into what can only be described as a political circus. Everyone is at each other's necks on what the kingdom should do. Neolvex, pushes down on the eastern borders, and Ateria is right below. But that's not the worst part.. when The Kingdom hears news of war, all hell breaks loose.

After a long and painful argument between the PM and other Ministers, it came to a decision, which for the first time in many years, the decision will be made by the King himself. And the Verdan Military, under his command.

Danisanci Palace,
Ottawa, Ontario, Danverda

The Prime Minister, Sylvia Haroz, reluctantly enters The King's Office, and informs him of the decision he needs to make. To hold fire and claim neutrality? Or respond by strengthening the eastern border?

The Kings words shook her.. "We need not claim neutrality. Our friends at the ROC needs us... " The King Stood up and walked out of the room, gesturing her to come with. "Get me a transport to Winnipeg"

Confused as to what the decision is, or what's about to happen, Sylvia Asks "Your majesty?"

"We are at war! What's a King to his men when he sits idly by in the comfort of his palace? Send The Verdan Sharks north, around the tundra, Send the Bears and the Lions east towards the border, The Hawks to the north east , Yellowknife" He walks into his war room, where the generals were already waiting "Oh... and declare war against Neolvex... We're taking the rest of Canda, and send word of our movement to Aterria.. let's hope they can help us"

And with that the PM of Danverda rushes off, making as many arangement as possible as the King himself discusses strategies with his admirals and generals. The PM of Danverda sends a Telegram to Aterria

The United Kingdom of Danverda - The Verdan Military
To: The Head of Aterria
From: The Danisanci Palace, Danverda,

We are on the move, and would like to request your help in pushing Neolvex out of the continent. King Maxim is now directly in control of the Verdan Armed Forces and is planning to mobilize troops as I write. If you wish to help or perform a military advance against Neolvex we can send military aid as a joint operation. We are still in support of the ROC, and we plan to put an end to this war.

Signed in haste,
Prime Minister Sylvia Haroz

[Aterria]

Oregon Border

The next day, the order was given to attack. The 300,000 soldiers stationed at the Oregon Border surged across into Neolvex territory, while heavy artillery pounded any defenses in the vicinity. The goal of the war was to capture the original lands of the Oregon purchase, including Southern British Columbia, and take Alaska as well if possible. War Plan red called for what translated into blitzkrieg, without the tanks. Armored cars were used in some military units, while fast moving cavalry was intended to break through enemy lines as quickly as possible.

In the Pacific, 3 battlegroups totally 50 ships moved towards settlements in the Washington Area.

To: The Danisanci Palace, Danverda
From: Aterrian Govt.

We appreciate the help in this common conflict against Neolvex, but we have to remind you that our purposes are quite different. We have no secured alliances, and this war is meant to expand Aterrian borders. Our end goal dictates that we take all of the Oregon purchase including Southern British Columbia, along with Alaska at a minimum. This can be discussed at a later date. Thank you for your attention.

Signed,

Henry Roosevelt.

[East Niphilate]

Imperial Fleet
6 Battleships, 8 Armoured Cruisers, 9 Cruisers, 24 Destroyers and 63 Torpedo Boats. This was the fleet that Admiral Johan Greene had at his disposal. It was also the fleet

War had not yet been declared. More preparations needed to be made. Hawaii needed to be secured, for the sake of allowing easy supply and trade with the New World, where many other Allies of the ROC were stationed. They had just left port a few hours ago. Hopefully, no surprises would arise when they were gone.

[The Green Union]

Himmelsdorf, Baffin Island, The Green Union:

When you run a country whose landmass is more ice than dirt, you get used to overcoming obstacles. But seal clubbing disputes and polar bear attacks was no preparation for the Union's government in light of current events.

Today the usually cooperative Loyalist Parliament was a mess of anger and disharmony. MPs argued ceaselessly about a course of action forward, but none could commit to a decision. And seeing as how the word had arrived only a day before, who could blame them?

For the Realm of Councilry and Neolvex had declared war on eachother. And being a ROC ally and protectorate, this meant The Green Union was not expected to do battle with the military of Neolvex on the far side of the world from any help.

It could not even be ensured that Danverda to the south would commit to battle with Neolvex, and without the weapon of knowledge The Green Union's leadership was confused and afraid.

Loyalist-Vex Border, Northwest Territories:

In the end it was the Queen, not the Parliament, that ordered the preparation for war. Soon the Loyalist warriors were digging into the permafrost on the frontier, constructing trenches as solid as stone lest the Vex forces cross the border. For now the Loyalists, with their outdated arms and equipment, would be fighting a defensive war. The traditional tactic of beating a retreat and drawing the enemy onto the sword of 'General Winter' was the plan. But a world power such as Neolvex would not be beaten by the cold alone, and few harboured the notion that The Green Union had the strength of arms to resist such an assault.


So perhaps it was time to ask for help.

To: The Glorious Monarch of Danverda
From: The office of The Queen of NPGU

In light of the violence that is about to come to our continent with the declaration of war between our faction and that of Neolvex, we implore your assistance to ensure the survival of our nations [STOP] To hold off the Vex it will be imperative that we coordinate our efforts and pool our resources [STOP] We therefore request that a delegation meet with you and your government's representatives to discuss such coordination in these turbulent times [STOP]

To: The Government of the ROC
From: The Office of The Queen of NPGU

This declaration of war may have greater effects than the one who made it would ever have known [STOP] Therefore, The Green Union requests that your government provide immediately weapons in the form of light arms to her forces [STOP] Otherwise the Vex will surely stand in Himmelsdorf by Christmas and the Vex shall turn the full might of their forces upon the European Front [Stop] Only by The Green Union's survival and continued resistance shall Neolvex be divided and fighting a war on two fronts, and only by your support may we do this [STOP]

[Greater Orensta]

A crowd had flocked to the palace for Sultan Mu'Aawiya Abdul Ghani Salahuddin's speech, announcing the involvement in the northern conflict.
He walked to the podium, "Greetings! My people!" He spoke, "A war has been raging on almost at our immediate border, reviewing our options, we have decided to Ally with the realm of Councilry. For the benefit of our nation, and theirs, military action will be taken soon, our fined troops shall be departing tommorrow, Neolvex shall know the might and wrath of Çerica!". THe crowd cheered wildly as he stepped back into the palace.

[Realm of Councilry]

Fort Hammerhead

The King was watching the men prepare for war. He was at the main base of military operations in the ROC. It was in a location only known to the soldiers employed there, as well as the Royal Family. 38,000 men were preparing for battle, along with 70 armored vehicles. Each carried eight men, plus two men who sat on top, vulnerable to attack, but wielded the most advanced gun the Army had access to. The Army called the vehicles "Blazers." The King then turned to the General of the base, " When will they be ready?" The General then answered, "If all goes well, we can roll out at the break of dawn." "Good." The King replied, "Notify our allies of our attack plans. See if they can help as well." The King then turned and left.

Torne River, The Next Day

Private Isak Lindahl and his battalion were walking along the edge of the Torne river, toward Neolvexian Territory. He was armed with a Winchester Model 1910, the standard rifle of the Realmian Army. They were nearing a large hill, of which they would have to hike. Halfway up, he heard a large *crack*. One of his comrades above him fell. *crack* *crack* *crack* More shots followed. He heard his Commander scream "Retreat!" He began climbing back down. The attackers followed. He was unable to identify which nation they were from, but he guessed they were from the Neolvex Empire. When he reached the bottom, he went into a dead sprint. His Commander ordered to attack back, because he relished, there were very few attackers. After a few long minutes, all of the attackers had either been killed or had retreated. They would rest here for the night, and continue tomorrow.

[Kalarax]

South West Neolvex
Sergeant Gunrey

Gunery traveled through Neolvex until he came upon a town that bordered the Caspian sea, all he needed to do now was to get through the town and begin taking the details of what they had as defenses. Either he would be succesful, or be captured, either way, Neolvexians would die at his hands, and he would do it knowing he was helping the cause, against a greater evil. He had always been told to be true to your country, and that Kalarax was true to his allies, he was ready to do anything for the Emperor, anything.

The Eastern Caspian Front - Kala-Neo Border
Private Grigori

Security had relaxed, the war had started, and it appears that Kalarax has been all but forgotten by the world powers. Neolvex has not attacked, and as far as he could tell, there were no trenches on their side of the border. On top of that, the Realm of Concilery hasn't sent their military adviser, rather disappointing. Perhaps there would be no war, no bloodshed. That gave him hope.

[Realm of Councilry]

ROCS Venzor

On the Realmian flagship, The ROCS Venzor, stood the chief military advisor, Charles Burman, on his way to Kalarax. He should've been there two days ago, but terrible storms on the seas had prevented them from sailing earlier. He would arrive tomorrow morning to speak with the Kalaracian Generals about attack plans. Any further delay, and they might've lost an ally. He would hope they would forgive him, but he reminded himself, "Things happen in life. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about them."

[Kalarax]

The War Room, Secret Location, Kalarax
Emperor Levinski Peshkov

News had come in, the military adviser was caught in a storm, and was going to arrive today. Once he reached the palace, they would taken him to the War Room, and they would begin plans there. For now, the trenches would remain understaffed seeing as it was better to allow for further training of troops. This might be the edge they need to resist onslaught from a world power.

The War Room contained several maps of the world, and Eurasia. Using these maps they had already detailed two major plans, a land attack, and a submarine run in the Caspian Sea.

Kruska Training Grounds, Kruska, Kalarax
Private Grigori

Turns out there was still an important enough war going on, and the Emperor had decided to continue training, which was not a bad idea considering how little training they had received in the first place. They started the morning with marching drills, as easy as they sound every week at least one person would pass out in the middle of the drill, Grigori now had a broken nose for that very reason. But, now he felt stronger. After that, they would train in their marksmanship. The Mosin-Nagant was not the most accurate rifle, but they said that no amount of mud would make it any less accurate, so that as reassuring. Finnaly, the part everyone began to hate, the physical training, they would exercise mercilessly until they passed out of made it to the final part of the day ... boxing. Anyone who had survived physical training would participate in several boxing matches with others in their Squad. Grigori had made it once but didn't last a punch during the actual match. His nose would never recover.
