Kuril War

The Kuril War also known as the Kuril Islands Conflict was a short yet decisive conflict between the Republic of Chemgota and the State of Japan over the Kuril Islands, although Chemgota granted de jure control to Japan over the Southern Kurils, the Japanese were pleased by this and supported Chemgota fighting it's War of Independence, however some within the Japanese Government were contested whenever they should keep the land Chemgota gave them or continue to lay claim on the entire Kuril Island chain, eventually this occurred in 2042 where the Japanese legislature decided to continue laying it's claims over the rest of the Kuril Islands, throughout the 4 year period before the outbreak of war, Japanese vessels frequently began entering Chemgotan sovereign space which began to disgruntle the local fishermen, at one point the Japanese Navy travelled towards the settlement of Severo-Kurilsk and began to announce towards it's residents in both Japanese and Russian that they have to leave their homes and not resist the Japanese Navy. However this not go well for the Japanese and the reports of Japanese vessels coming too Chemgotan territory was troublesome for Magadan, Igor Elmpt had mixed reactions to this, but mostly he speculated that the Japanese would never fight them, he was wrong and the Parliamental Senate decided unilaterally to support a war against the Japanese to defend Chemgotan sovereign territorial integrity. 
== The War ==
The conflict began on the early morning of April 14th 2045 where a detachment of Japanese Naval Infantry landed on the island of Urup and took total administrative control over the island with the small military invasion comprising only of 5,000 soldiers. This news soon reached Magadan and the Parliamental Senate decided a week earlier to prepare and build up it's military force around Kamchatka and the Sea of Okhotsk to delay any invasion to Chemgotan soil as a defensive measure, this was not properly put into fruition as Urup was lost and soon afterwards the islands of the Kurilsky District were lost to Japanese invasion, the first engagements of the war came about with the Battle of Ekarma, a force of 20,000 Chemgotan Marines preparing to invade the surrounding islands from Ekarma were surprised to see that the Japanese forces were also planning to enact the same strategy, causing both forces to run into each other, the Chemgotan forces on the small island had the minor advantage of the terrain by using the Ekarma Volcano to their defensive advantage to defeat the Japanese assault and repel them from the island, soon afterwards with the Japanese retreating after suffering some 37 dead. 
the Japanese Navy subsequently began a bombardment of the Island, leading several Chemgotans dead and wounded from the bombardment, after this news was relayed back to Headquarters, 3 squadrons of the Chemgotan Air Force were sent to provide assistance to the defenders and to give them time to recover from the attack on the island, several Chemgotan F-4s, F-14s and F-16s were sent to the islands to attack, damage and sink Japanese vessels this air operation was ultimately successful initially, but this caused the Japanese Air Force's presence to be bolstered, further making the situation dire and difficult for the Chemgotan forces. After the Battle of Ekarma ended, the Japanese and Chemgotan Navies engaged each other within the Golovin Strait, although no vessels were lost on either side, many were severely damaged and the battle ended with a stalemate. Engagements followed this as the Chemgotan Naval Force went back to Kamchatskiy for repairs, small transport craft were spotted by Chemgotan Naval Infantry at Onekotan Island, soon afterwards the Japanese forces landed on the southernmost part of the island, the Chemgotan Air Force was also dispatched but with grace the Japanese Air Force also provided assistance for the Marines, this caused an air battle to take place with several fighter aircraft engaging in dogfights along with attack helicopters. Although fortunately (unfortunately for the Japanese) the Chemgotan forces decided to deploy obsolete and new Hunter Killer Drones as a last ditch effort to repel the Japanese from the island as progress was failing for the Chemgotans as they kept loosing land. the Hunter Killers proved very effective towards bombing important key targets of the Japanese forces causing most of them to be devastated, soon after the swarm cleared the area, UAVs and Artillery bombed the disorganised Japanese forces which theoretically destroyed and wiped out the entire Marine force there but some survivors took shelter but became POWs soon after Chemgotan Marines cleared the area of resistance. 
After the Japanese failure at Onekotan, the Chemgotan Defence Force made steady and tactical effort against the Japanese with the newly appointed Admiral of the Kamchatskiy Fleet Privalov Fridrik having lived on the Kuril Islands began to map out important weak spots against the Japanese order of battle within the Kuril Island chain with help from UAV and Aerial photographs. The problems which faced the Chemgotan Naval Force's strength were the Japanese Air Force, so to counter this the Chemgotan Ground Force with cooperation from the Chemgotan Air Force began to employ anti-air warfare against the Japanese air assets in the region, the Ground Force frequently used MANPADs and Anti-Air emplacements to destroy Japanese Aircraft by utilising the dense forest on the islands to conceal their positions very efficiently. The Chemgotan Air Force was tasked to take out the Japanese airbases which were recently constructed in the Southern Kurils to help support sorties and air missions for the Japanese, by using fighter bombers and multi-role fighters, the Chemgotan Air Force was mostly victorious over the Japanese in these air battles, successfully bombing the airfields and making them unusable by using dangerous explosives such as cluster bombs and napalm. The Chemgotan Naval Force also saw large scale success, as reinforcements from the Magadan and Chumikan fleets arrived to support the Kamchatskiy fleet's efforts against the Japanese, coming from the Sea of Okhotsk, the Chemgotan Naval Force now helped deploy Chemgotan Naval Infantry and Marines through various island hopping battles through the north, capturing their islands back from Japan and severely destroying their defensive forces on the islands. Capturing many assets and soldiers with their campaign. 
=== Peace Deal ===
After the Chemgotans were retaking their lost islands, the nations of the United States and the United Kingdom brokered between Japan and Chemgota to engage in peace talks and propose a status quo between them, ensuring that no territorial boundaries would be changed. Igor Elmpt approved of this idea and a summit was held in Ozernovskiy to discuss the aftermath of the war and the rapprochement of diplomatic and economic relations between Japan and Chemgota once more as it was before the war began. This summit in Ozernovskiy led to the Treaty of Ozernovskiy being mediated by the United States of America and was signed by both President Igor Elmpt of Chemgota and Emperor Naruhito of Japan as America did not want two of it's most important allies in Asia to be lost in inner fighting. Following the conclusion of the war, both Chemgota and Japan frequently engaged in diplomatic talks and meetings which resealed relations over time, both Chemgota and Japan also signed a non-aggression pact to never declare war on one another again over the Kuril Islands as the non-aggression pact was permanent.
