Directive North

Directive North is said to be the name of a rumoured plan by the Southern Republic to seize more lands. Intercepted by an Imperial spy, the document is said to detail the military, diplomatic and intelligence operations involved in a land grab of territories to the north of the Republic - mainly with the Middle Kingdom. Passed to the Emperor on the 6th of Queru 3450, it is unknown if the plan has advanced any, or even if it is still in existence.
The plan is said, roughly, to go as such.
#Foster alliances with nations of Isaevi, in particular either the Isaevi Imperium, or the twin-kingdoms of Shanaei and Belaxtra.
#Persuade the Isaevi ally to launch an assault on the Upper Colonies, in order to draw away the Legions.
#Forment Republican revolutionary movements within both the Casorian Empire, and the Middle Kingdom.
#Woo the Prince of Osylpha, promising vast tracts of Casorian land if he were to declare full independence and wage war on the Empire.
#Launch a rapid and precise strike upon the forces of the Middle Kingdom, seizing all or most of the major cities before a response can be formulated.
#Invade the southern territories of the Empire, forcing them to come to the peace table and officially recognise the gains of the attack.
The discovery and subsequent reveal of the directive caused a serious rift between the already fragile Imperial/Kingdom-Republican relations, and border skirmishes between the Republic and the Kingdom occur almost every day. The Republican government has, as expected, denied the validity of the plan, stating that is was merely a document that a few radicals passed amongst themselves.
Whatever the truth behind the document, the knowledge of it has led to the heightening of tensions between the Casorian powers, and it seems possible that was might engulf the continent once again.
