1653

War plans

Jing plans concerning the defence against and possible invasion of Arboria and Hawshire Dura versus invasion plans and war preparations from the Shiro-Natopians.

1654

Building up the defences

Everything quiet on the northern front.

1655

Natopian entry into the war

Air supremacy

Successful air offensive almost totally annihilates the entire air fleet of the Jing. The Jingdaoese air-defence and command and control networks were left in total disarray by the sudden loss, however the Sxiro-Natopian forces failed to follow this up with any concerted offensive action.

Jing response by sending more troops to the coast line in case of a naval invasion.

Dalmacijan Push

A relative late response by the SANE forces to push through the defences. Attacks are successful and it is feared that Port Nevermore will fall in enemy hands. However, the arrival of the first reserves brings an end to the offensive and a counter attack is held.

Battle of Kori

Battle of Yama

Battle of Yuanbeichang (Port Nevermore)

Counter-offensive

Insurrections in the River Warrior's Regio

A full-out offensive is put to a halt until the River Warriors are suppressed. Senya is blamed for supporting rebels.


1656

Arboria Campaign

Attempt of the Jing to start its campaign into Natopia.

First signs of mutiny

Yamato Wei's crusade against the war

The year 1656 proved to be one of several difficulties. The Arboria offensives which were meant to push the SANE forces back on Natopian soil, and split the Natopian territory into two, isolating the troops in New Aquitane from backup in the west, had failed miserably. At enormous costs, the Jingdaoese Armed Forces had retaken their original positions from three years earlier. The offensive into Arboria was anticipated to be, by all means, a fruitless and pointless slaughter. The higher ups were still convinced that the Natopians and Shirerithians would muster their forces on other fronts (in Batavia and against Nova England) and would pay little attention to a front with no real future. None, except for some officers, really believed this.

The supply lines soon started to be overstretched, and the Shirerithian air supremacy hindered any effective offensives. Soldiers at the front, especially new recruits of non-Jing descend, started to get disillusioned. Many of them got the feeling that they were expendable meat shields, used to throw at the enemy without any real plan in mind.

In this political climate several ideologies, which otherwise were harshly suppressed at home by the Tegong, but could now flow freely through the trenches became popular. Some gathered around the rightist group 'Patriotists', while others were fascinated by the charismatic leftist leader, Yamato Wei. Yamato, second son of Tsukono Wei, had been a conscript from the first hour. There was little doubt that his early enlistment was a consequence of his family ties.

In the spring of 1656 Yamato was arrested after a fight between him and a senior officer during his leave. When he was released from prison, after the end of the offensive, he noticed the circumstances had changed: the soldiers who have lived in the trenches had lost hope of a swift victory. The Wei's socialist ideology had taken hold among a lot of people and started to spread.


The Nivelle Mutiny

The execution of corporal Nivelle, a Kildarian officer, for not following orders enrages a part of the men and sparks a mutiny.

Aftermath

Social unrest in Jingdao, especially in the region around Lake Christoph.
