Great Rebellion

The Great Rebellion
The Great Rebellion began in mid-2005 (Keyshona time) when conservatives in the Armed Socialist Federation of Keyshona rose up against the Democratic Socialist regime. During this time a young Army sergeant, aged 16, Keenan Kunst was impressing his superiors in various field exercises. Little did they know, he would one day rule the nation.
The Rebellion Begins
The Conservative Rebellion began on the eve of May 16, 2004 when Facist rebels stormed the Parliament building, wielding AK-47's and molotov cocktails. Upon entering the lightly guarded complex they fired upon the 100 parliament seat holders, killing all but one, Geraldo Fererra, a member of the Conservative party. They then forced KC-SPAN film crews to film the decapitation of Fererra. This brutal execution was broadcast across the entire nation.
Response and Escalation
The rebels continued to occupy the Parliament building. The government dismissed these rebels as a small minority and beleived they could be dispatched easily. They ordered several Assault Teams from the People's Protection Force to recapture the building. As the five teams appraoched the main entrance they were welcomed by a barrage of molotv cocktails. They quikcly took cover behind the famed Parliament buidling's staues of Lenin, Marx, Plato, and Machiavelli. They returned fire with their MP-5 submachine guns but hit nothing. They then resumed their approach however this time, an entire team was taken out by automatic fire from the second floor. Despite this, the other teams barged through the front door and cleared the foyer and adjacent rooms. They then proceeded to sweep the first floor, finding no further resistance.
Outside, the occupants of the first floor were fleeing into a nearby hotel, pulling away from their previous posistion. The Assault teams assualted the second floor, however and were able to clear the rest of the building with only one fatality. The assualt teams then moved to exit out of the rear entrance but were instantly hit with AK-47 fire from the upper floors of the adjacent hotel, Le Magnifique. They returned fire as they withdrew back into the parliamentary offices. Once back in the parliament buidling they set up posisitions in the windows to monitor hotel activity.
Other then occasional periods of gunfire the rest of the day and night remained peaceful, both forces seemingly locked in a statlemate. The government did their best to ignore the occurences and continued with their daily business. Unfortunately, that next night tragedy struck. Five carbombs detonated in the former Republican Square of the capital, Key City. These attacks killed over 100 people, including four members of the senate.
A bomb inside the Parliament building also detonated killing the assault teams within and severely damaging the buidling. Having detonated their booby trap, the rebels ran across the street and reoccupied the parliament building.
Another Rebel Group Emerges
After the reoccupation of the Parliament Building a small group of Liberal and Socialist men formed a militia and dubbed themselves the Free Socialist Army of Keyshona. This group's most famous members consisted of General Antoni Duschovya, Sergeant Keenan Kunst, (current foreign adivsor) Vassili Kotov, General Heirich Wasserstein and Senator Erwin Vichten. They armed themselves with government armaments and attacked the homes of known conservative rebels. Though they didn't harm the families themselves they killed those who resisted and destroyed their homes and possessions. Their attacks were marked by their infamous cries of, "Freedom for all, Property of all." Though many in the group were not true Communists, the leader, General Antoni Duschovya was one and he believed wholeheartedly in its manifesto. They continued these attacks until the rebels agreed to withdraw from the Parliament Building.
Gunshots in the Republican Square
Peace had resumed its reign within the borders of Keyshona and the President, Kral Kuzmin was speaking at a rally when two shots left the barrel of a Colt .45 handgun and entered the leader's chest. Both bullets pierced his heart and he died within moments. The assailant quickly fled amidst the confusion and was unable to be caught. The Federation was thrown into chaos, he was their first and only leader as he had given himself lifetime control after the Keyshona Freedom War and his outline for electoral succession was sketchy and incomplete.
When Rebels Rule the Streets
Taking advatange of this opportunity many men and women with strict Christian ideals and conservative views went to arms against the remnants of the Keyshona government. Within a three month period from June - Late August all members of the senate and cabinet had been publically hanged, decapitated, shot, or killed at a speech. The Leftist group, the Free Socialist Army of Keyshona also went to arms with the support of the Federation military. This effectively turned a series of riots into an organized war.
The War Effort
With the military on their side, the Free Socialist Army of Keyshona organized their ranks and began to seize key strategic posistions, especially in the North and Northwest. However, the new Conservative army, the Right Wing Front began to make major gains in the south and east.
Fearing that the Right Wing group would make a move to flank the Federation's posistions the Socialist army launched a massive airstrike. However, their was an information leak and the Right Wing Front was able to take appropriate measures and the air mission was deemed a failure. The brass was still afraid of losing ground in the West, near the capital and allocated forces there. But, this left thier northern flank unprotected and the Right Wing Front gathered over 10,000 troops and marched on foot to attack the Socialists where they were vulnerable.
The Battle of Mt. Vieva
The 10,000 conservative troops arrived in the Northern mountains in mid-October 2005 and began a battle against 5,000 troops and 10 tanks of the Socialist Army. Both sides were armed with Kalashnikov rifles of various models and that was the only sound audible for days as a ferocious battle engulfed the area. The Socialist troops took posistion just below an overhang on the small Mount Vieva and mounted their two Flak 88 artiller peices on the overhang as well as a tank. The other two tanks took a risk and remained at the foot of the mountain. The troops below the overhang, including the young 1st Sergeant, Keenan Kunst, had to hold their fire as they watched the two tanks fire several shells at the advancing mass of enemy troops. These rounds caused several enemy causalties but were unable to stop the advancing forces, which was predicted. The men below the overhang watched helplessly as the tank crews began to flee from their war machined only to be brought down by a hail of AK-47 fire.
The advancing troop columns then continued to march up the side of Mt. Vieva and as soon as they were within range the modified Flak 88's opened fire, causing a decent amount of enemy casualties. The Rightist army returned fire, effectively disabling one of the guns with an RPG-7 rocket launcher. The troops below the overhang also began to fire their weapons. Four SAW gunners opened up fire first, cutting through the first few lines of enemy troops as bullets hit the dry dust around them. The rest of the men followed, dousing the enemy troops with AK-74 and SVD Dragunov fire. But the enemy mass was too big and got closer and closer. The tank fired its only three shells causing some damage but had to revert to its three .50 caliber machine guns. It used this rapid fire to cover the Socialist troops as they pulled back, taking a new posistion above the overhang.
As the Right Wing Front continued to advance, the Flak 88 pounded their ranks with shells. The tank crew and artillery crew eventually fled their heavy guns to join the infantry above them as the advancing mass would surely have overwhelmed them. The Socialist Army however proved to have more heart and were able to keep the Rightists from moving up to the top of the overhang where the artillery was.
As night fell, the Right Wing Front set up camp below the overhang, where they were not vulnerable to the fire of the Socialist Army. The Socialist Army however, set up a decoy camp on the overhang, complete with camp fires. Two men sat around the main fire making conversation in order to further the illusion. The rest of the men snuck down and around the Conservatives' camp and placed several C4 charges beneath a tent.
As one of the soldiers moved to take an ambush posistion behind a log he was spotted. The enemy soldier quickly grabbed his Beretta M9 and squeezed off two shots, killing the Socialist soldier. Suddnely the night was filled with gunfire. AK fire erupted in massive blasts and the Conservative army was having difficulty locating their enemy. The leftists were strafing and moving in the dark and taking cover where they could making the Conservatives' task difficult. Eventually, the leader of the Liberals, Colonel James Danforth detonated the charges beneath the tent, sending a massive fireball into the air and obliterating the tent. Sharpnel tore into the flesh of men from bothe sides, sending them to the ground. As the automatic gunfire continued, the Socialists retreated back to the overhang. They utilized their already established camp and kept a tight shift of watch through the night.
As morning broke, the Socialists peered over the cliff to see the extent of their damage. The Right Wing camp was cluttered with lifelss bodies of primarily conservatives and metal debris was scatterred throughout the area.
