A resounding and unchallenged victory in the Atlantic put the People's Navy in high spirits. Thousands of civilians lay dead in retribution for the attack on Urumqi, and the Mediterranean supply lines had been shattered. It could take months until the European Crusaders could fully recover from that crushing blow to the artery of their interventionary forces.

The 3rd and 4th fleets, the so-called Pride of the Pacific, took ten days to withdraw from European shores, regrouping and re-stocking near Venezuela before quietly seeping back into the Caribbean theater.

From the mists of the East arrived the Kafairian Navy, in full force, seeking to take back the secure shipping lanes that had been robbed of them; a move which the Asian Military Command had long anticipated. The hulls of their maritime behemoths began to take form from the azure horizon, and their movements were relayed to the underground base of the Asian peacekeeping forces.

First to respond was the submarine detachment of the 2nd fleet. Five Sapa-Class underwater vessels, the P.A.S Type SSN-219A Vāmadeva, P.A.S Type SSN-219B Sadyojāta, P.A.S Type SSN-219C Īsāna, P.A.S Type SSN-219D Tatpuruṣa, and P.A.S Type SSN-219E Aghora sortied from below the Kafairian Navy's bulk. Depth charges were set and blown from all directions.

The first wave of Pan-Asiatic maritime fighters aimed to sully the course of the Kafairian Navy away from the beaches of the central island. Missile cruisers from the 7th and 9th fired long-range ballistic projectiles from the vantage of the Cayman islands.

The first phase of the Cayman contingency plan had begun.

The Shoreline

When night fell on the Skyhookedian archipelago, the 81st "Aguila" Airborne Infantry Company, 130 of the Pan-Asiatic States' most elite airborne infantrymen, began to drop from the doors of covert Xian MA60s flying at a high altitude undetected by Kafairian radars.

Quietly into the night they landed in sticks of five to re-take key coastline artillery positions which had been conquered by the starving Kafairian army. Radio silence was maintained. One by one, bases fell back into the hands of the socialist bloc.

Azure Beach Five Stars resort

The bloody stalemate on the Azure Beach 5 stars resort continued for a long time. Skyhookedian forces didn't make any significant advances, and continued to defend the barricades and trenches, while Kabanarian rangers and those on armed pickups occassionally harrased crusader forces, but didn't cause much casualties. It went on, until the reinforcements, consisting of 2000 Capital minutemen, 300 minutemen battlemages and 5000 men-at-arms from Los Diablos and 1000 Cheetahs mechanized milita units and 300 Mr.Handy robots have finally arrived to the scene, although not in full numbers due to all the chaos of the theater.

Together with them, came 300 Battle Bonded warriors and 100 Hornet drones, that will support them from the air.

They were led by general Monty "Jack of Spades", one of the most prominent warlords of Skyhooked, who declared: "NIce job out there! Your badass skills and bravery held those wannabe knights back! If Jane is alive, I'll make sure to promote her... If not... she will be buried with all honors. Cheers to Pan Asian allies too, for assisting us in the holdout! I never had even a shade of doubt about those fine Oriental men! It is an honor to fight and share loot with such warriors! Now, to business! We gonna push those knights right back to the sea! As soon, as drones attack... Charge!"

As he ended this short speech, many drones dropped small bombs right on the crusader forces. Those, who controled them, tried to make sure, they would fall on their archers and trebuchets and cause chaos among the troops. And when the first explosions were seen, a massive charge and an attempt to push crusaders back had finally started.

Some of the Los Diablos men-at-arms fired from the mortars, to add even more explosions before the epic fight, then the Cheetahs striked from different sides at full speed, together with Kipchaks. And finally, after that, the infantry rushed to the enemy, shooting tons of plasma and bullets like crazy.

Wiht all this fog of war, casualties and how did the allied forces charge with them, will be known later for them. The only thingm they could do is to stay tuned and fight.

Thanks to the ceasefire between us and Kafair, it's easier for the agents to gather intel on them. I have already found one of their minor supply cahches, they are trying to hide. After all... this truce covers only direct harm and we still need to aid our allies. Coordinates are in the attachment. If you want, I will share the intel with you. Although, I will use different channel.

As the Pride of the Pacific engaged the counter-attacking Kafairian Navy in open head-to-head contention, two ships slipped away to reinforce the Skyhookedians on the opposite front. The P.A.S Type DDB-349C Flojo-Class Destroyer Long March and P.A.S Type DDB-349D Flojo-Class Destroyer Nanchang Uprising sortied from beyond the late-August mists of the Caribbean to provide Naval artillery support for the Skyhookedian counter-offensive.

Raining shell after shell upon the Crusaders, the two heavy destroyers also acted as offshore anti-air support for the dozens of Chengdu "Mighty Dragon" J-10 Twinjets from the People's Air Force 8th Fighter Wing now descending upon Azure Beach. The bombardment lasted all day long, covering for the creeping advances of the Skyhookedian infantry and men-at-arms. Handheld bombs and incendiary rounds from the Mighty Dragons turned the sky grey with smoke and the green grass black with ash.

Later that night, in the cover of the pitch-black twilight, five landing-crafts upon which the elite D and E Companies, of around a hundred men each, from the newly-arrived 3rd Nusantara Echelon Marine Division had boarded, swiftly emerged from the Nanchang, making their course for the shoreline. Vigilant Marine operators of the Forward Infantry Corps armed with high-power automatic Tavor X95 Assault Rifles, the finest of their kind, stormed the beaches and attacked the Crusaders from the rear.

Raid after raid, men charged straight into the embers of combat, landing at select choke-points and munitions caches aimed at disrupting the flow of supplies to the enemy forces making their last stand, the Marines struck quietly but with deadly precision.

Led by their Datu, Kiryanov Xiang, and his aide-de-camp Babaylan, Paek Sung-Hyun, the Marines quickly overpowered the Crusaders on one beach-head, pushing back into the thick jungle to rendezvous with Skyhookedian forces. Kiryanov slashed and burned the path out of the warzone for his men and himself with his trusty jian (Chinese officer sword), decapitating, amputating, and piercing his task force's way to relative safety.

In the jungle waiting for them the following morning, with much needed ammunition and food stores was Kapitan Immanuel Roxas, the war's best sharpshooter thus far together with five fire-teams from the 31st "Crucible". Marching until the dawn, they set out to join forces with General Monty "Jack of Spades" and his forward battalions.

A radio operator from the ranks of the general staff tuned to the Skyhookedian military's clandestine frequency. On days they had nothing to send, an array of randomized numbers and letters would simply sift through the waves via a monotone automated voice. Operators of the AMC were trained by the Skyhookedian military to tell when the waves pertained to an actual coherent message, as well as to receive and decrypt these hidden transmissions.

Swiftly, Jay Chakara, a 22-year-old AMC intern and a student of commercial telecommunications at the University of Peking, delivered the decrypted communique he'd found to his supervisor. After a few hours, a message approved by the Pan-Asiatic States' interventionary forces commander, was returned to the transmission's channel.

We've received the coordinates. Expect fireworks in the next couple of days.

Send my thanks to the Council. We will keep in touch.
