Timeline

Map of Operation Enduring Alliance, 1720 AN.

• 7.II.1720: Reports from Cardenas indicate that an intervention by the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie to restore order in Huyenkula has been authorized.
• 8.II.1720: The Nouvelle Alexandrie Embassy in Huyenkula authorizes the departure of all nonessential staff and their families, and makes public and private announcements that it is evacuating Nouvelle Alexandrie nationals, with an emphasis on women, minors, and children.
• 8.II.1720: New Alexandrian forces are welcomed as they occupy the Southern District in the face of minimal resistance, as mounting popular frustration with the government finally boils over. The 210th Army is poised for a dash northwards towards Huyenkula and Kaupang.
• 14.III.1720: Taking advantage of the chaos in the upper ranks of the government, the 210th Army, and attached formations, commenced a three pronged assault on Huyenkula from the southwest, south, and southeast, supported by a day of intensive airstrikes against buildings associated with the Hurmu Constabulary, trade union movement, and pro-government political parties. A combination of airmobile infantry and light armoured columns sought to converge upon the Parlerment House within the next forty-eight hours.
  • The southern assault force, primarily made up of airmobile infantry units, was inserted by helicopters behind enemy lines. They swiftly moved to neutralize anti-aircraft defenses and create a secure foothold for further reinforcement. The airmobile infantry then proceeded to engage enemy forces in the surrounding areas, disrupting their communications and forcing them to retreat.
  • The southeastern assault force, consisting of special operations units and elite infantry, was tasked with the most daring objective: infiltrating the heavily fortified Parlerment House. Disguised as civilians, these soldiers made their way through the city, gathering intelligence and identifying key enemy positions. Once in position, they signaled for the assault to begin.
• 15.III.1720: As the aerial bombardment continued, the 210th Army's three-pronged assault on Huyenkula moved swiftly to secure key bridges and intersections, cutting off enemy reinforcements and supplies. The 210th Army successfully captures key checkpoints in and around Huyenkula, effectively cutting off the city's supply routes and limiting the movement of opposing factions.
  • With Parlerment House surrounded, the southeastern assault force began its attack at dawn. Under the cover of smoke and confusion, they stormed the compound, engaging in fierce close-quarters combat with the enemy forces. Room by room, floor by floor, they systematically cleared the building, eliminating any resistance they encountered.
  • Meanwhile, the other two assault forces continued to push deeper into Huyenkula, methodically securing critical infrastructure and neutralizing pockets of enemy resistance. Supported by air strikes and artillery, they made steady progress towards their objectives.
  • As the assault on Parlerment House reached its climax, the southeastern assault force discovered a hidden bunker beneath the building, where they found key military and political mid-level officers attempting to escape. After a tense standoff, 3 of these officiers were killed, the rest were apprehended and taken into custody.

Aftermath

The operation is still ongoing, and the impact of the intervention on the overall conflict remains to be seen.
