Krechzianko-Vladistock War

A brief war in the East Pacific. The Peoples' Republic of Krechzianko, interested in expanding her territory, decided to conquer the long inactive nation of Vladistock Island. Krechzianko's ally, the Peoples' Republic of Xiopothos, decided to help, due to its close proximity to Vladistock. The two nations landed thousands of marines on the Island's coast and heavily bombed military defenses. However, the defender soon became active so as to protect his nation.

The initial attacks were successful, with Allied forces moving inland several miles. The nation's interior was a mixture of forest, jungle, and mountains. However, their advance was slowed down by heavy Vlad resistance and frequent counterattacks. As this was happening, other nations of the East Pacific began to take sides politically. Many of these contries, such as Kelssek and the Free Pacific States, supported Vladistock, accusing Krechzianko of imperialism. The Krech and Xiopothan forces, however, claimed that it was a 'nation-building' mission. The fighting was mostly stopped when Kelssek's fleet reached Vladistock and began an enforced cease-fire. They threatened to attack any nation that engaged in combat during the cease-fire. Vladistock continued some action againt Krechzianko, and threatened nuclear reprisal if their enemies refused to leave immediately. The Allies continued to stay on the island.

As the two sides met in Neorvins, Kelssek, to iron out a peace treaty, Krechzianko prepared for a final assault, which could give them leverage in the talks. Operation Red Flame was a mission intended to bring a great deal more land under Krech control. Airborne troops landed at a large airport near the city of Klev-a-Yelz, and seized it with only minor resistance. Vlad defenders were reluctant to fight back, fearing that they would lose international support if they engaged in battle. So the Krech marines advanced quickly, hoping to stabilize the line around their new airbase. Meanwhile, thousands of troops were being landed there in large transport aircraft.

The war at sea continued, with large Vlad submarine attacks causing massive Krech casualties. After one attack, Krech naval helicopters began to search for their enemies in the straits. They spotted a submarine, which they proceeded to attack with torpedoes. It turned out to be a Free Pacific States sub, and an international incident took place afterward. A lunatic FPS naval officer attacked Krech ships even after receiving direct orders not to. He was actually doing this for hire, after receiving a large sum of money from a group of Krech rebels.

As the war continued, a group of Krech officers and politicians staged the April coup, an attempt to replace the moderate socialist leadership with a hardcore military state. It failed, but the Premier was forcd to recall all troops in Vladistock to help mop up the rebels and repair the damage done. This aided the peace talks in Kelssek.

Eventually the talks succeeded, and both parties ended hostilities. It was considered a great day for all nations involved.
