Xichang Hostage Crisis

The Xichang Hostage Crisis was a military and political event taking place between the 25th of April to the 13th of June, during which the Federal Republic of Entaria sought to involve itself in the ongoing Berinsky War, through peacekeepers and political pressure. This began with Entaria attempting to allow policing of Quangsui occupied territories in Nurasovask, which was accepted, on the condition that the Entarian first wave deploy in Xichang, before shipping off to Nurasovask, where an airstrip to facilitate greater Entarian involvement. Quangsuh manipulated the events into trapping the Entarian first wave, around 600 combat and support staff, in the port of Xichang, fining the Entarians a million Trekan dollars per day, until they paid the ransom. The Entarian government refused to comply, and escalated the situation with ultimatums, prompting the Trekans to mobilise their fleet to prevent war. On the 13th of June, King Azrael of Zion personally intervened, paying the Quangsui government directly, in the millions to allow an Entarian exit. The crisis strengthened domestic support for President Yi Sukegei among the Quangsui population, who berated the Entarian soldiers. The Entarian soldiers were mocked, degraded and humiliated by the Quangsui state and population, regularly playing propaganda over megaphones. To counter this, the Entarians used noise cancelling headphones and slept in shifts, though this did not prevent mass traumatisation from the ordeal. Reaction in Entaria was more mixed, with the ever hawkish in the political class decrying King Azrael as a tyrant appeaser, and wished to commit fully to war against Quangsuh, while many, including most of the soldiers, wished for compensation and a withdraw from Berinsky. They spoke highly of the King.
