The First Cyber War ( Empress Of The Orient Sea)

The First Cyber War or CW1 is the first military conflict that does not directly involve nations but instead the main combatants of the war are two of the biggest corporations in the globe, the Makarov and Olympus Corporation. Yet even with this new kind of conflict, some nations such as the US supported their corporate allies with financial or material aid. The war lasted for 3 years around the globe as both corporations fought against each other for supremacy over the economy, technology and market with no restriction. The war was fought brutally and ferociously by both sides using their new dangerous technological weapons whether it be conventionally or through the internet until the eventual collapse of the Makarov Corporation following the immediate decrease of their stocks. 
The conflict would end on October 25, 2038 after Olympus soldiers stormed the main headquarters of Makarov in Moscow. The remaining board of directors were captured by Olympus after a brutal battle and were forced to sign a surrender treaty that led to the dismantling of Makarov then its immediate integration with the Olympus Corporation. The conflict would start a new era of warfare that is not fought between nations but with corporations that are either controlled by, allied with, or supported by countries that seek to use them for their own gain. 
== Pre-War ==
=== Cyber Attacks Between Russia and Europe ===
=== Build-Up And Militarization ===
The Olympus Cyber Corporation was a large and powerful but relatively peaceful corporation that strengthens, watches, or destroys the different parts of the internet. The corporation had a small security force of about 20,000 men of the ages 20 - 57 who only had moderate training. Olympus knew that if they were to fight in a war using conventional means then they would lose quickly and painfully so the corporation decided to hire or borrow volunteer soldiers and mercenaries but unlike the Makarov Corporation, Olympus military force was made up of soldiers from the UN or other allied nations with only a few hundred mercenaries joining Olympus. 
Olympus had also a small arsenal of technology or equipment that they can use in conventional warfare but that immediately changed following rising tensions with the Makarov Corporation. Olympus bought technologies and weaponry from the United Nations and other corporations to become equal with their opponent.

=== The Battle of Vienna ===
Following the raids around Europe by Makarov mercenaries, Olympus declared war on Makarov and began to combine then use all of its resources in finally toppling the Russian corporation. Makarov also began mobilizing all of their forces but unknown to them, their forces including the hired mercenaries were either outnumbered or outgunned by their Olympus counterparts, leading to Makarov to use a guerilla strategy in fighting against Olympus. The European Empire and the Greater Russian Republics demanded that hostilities between the two corporation to end but it was rejected by both. 
On September 10, 2035 at 12:00 AM in the city of Vienna, mysterious individuals entered an Olympus office building then suddenly, the infrastructure exploded. The explosion was considered the first "shot" fired during the conflict and that truly started a long bloody conflict. Within a few hours, Makarov mercenaries planted explosives in various bridges and roads leading out of the city then activated them, making them unusable for vehicles. The Vienna police were quickly overwhelmed by heavily armed mercenaries who have access to armored vehicles and heavy military equipment after numerous battles throughout the city. The local government officials along with Olympus officials within the city were easily captured and held as hostages by the mercenaries. 
The European Army arrived on September 11 after Vienna has completely fallen to the mercenaries then began to besiege it with the support of Olympus. The mercenaries threatened to kill the hostages if the army enters the city, forcing the European Air Force to begin a rapid aerial bombardment on areas in Vienna where the mercenaries were spotted but it was deemed ineffective when it was discovered that the mercenaries were inside bunkers or under buildings. The Olympus Corporation used this opportunity to convince the empire to allow them to take over all military, intelligence, and rescue operations on Vienna which was permitted by the European Parliament on September 17. 
Om September 25, Olympus launched the first attack on the occupied city from the north using hovercrafts and armored automated machines such as the AICE. Within a few hours, the mercenaries were forced to retreat as they were inflicted with heavy casualties and their supplies were dwindling rapidly. Brutal urban fighting raged on throughout the city from September 26 to 30 as Olympus further entered the city while the remaining mercenaries hopelessly holding on to territory. Eventually by September 31, most of Vienna was liberated along with hostages while the mercenaries began infighting on what to do until they eventually agreed to surrender to Olympus and the European Empire. The Battle of Vienna ended with an Olympus victory as most of Makarov's mercenaries were killed or surrendered. 
=== The Invasion of Crimea ===
The defeat of Makarov in Vienna send shockwaves throughout the whole corporation and there was fear that there was a huge possibility that Makarov was to be destroyed easily. Due to this, the board of directors of Makarov Corporation orchestrated the secession of Crimea from Ukraine leading to the creation of the fragile and weakened Republic of Crimea which quickly allied to Russia. The goal was to create chaos in Europe between the European Empire and the Greater Russian Republics in order to distract Olympus from properly diverting their resources in fighting Makarov. 
Tensions between the empire and the republic sore after Crimea allied itself with the Russians. Olympus, realizing that Makarov was behind all of this, announced to the United Nations General Assembly that the mega corporation was behind the secession of the region of Crimea which angered the international community especially Russia since the government of Crimea was actually not independent but instead under control of Makarov Corporation. President Lavrov's administration began to seize all of Makarov's assets and resources but the final straw that tore the relationship between the corporation and the government was the attempted assassination of all of the high ranking members of the Russian government by unknown assailants. Lavrov was furious that he was about to be killed by what he thought were assassins hired by Makarov so he formally declared the Makarov Corporation, an enemy of the state. 
Once Olympus knew about the declaration, they launched an invasion of Crimea which was now fully under the control of Makarov and their soldiers. Olympus hoverbombers and long-range hyper missiles began destroying large parts of Makarov controlled areas around the island for multiple hours, leaving only large casualties and destruction. The bombing campaign was followed by a seaborne invasion by Olympus on November 10 with the support of the United Nations but the invasion was repulsed after Olympus soldiers were killed by hidden and prepared Makarov mercenaries. The failed invasion on November 10 was later called "Bloody Thursday". 
The death of 750,000 men lowered the morale of the Olympus military but strengthened their resolve in their fight against Makarov. Many men and women from around the globe joined the fight against the Makarov Corporation as they believe that the corporation was an enemy for not only one nation or corporation but the whole global society. The United States itself would join the conflict when they began launching bombing campaigns around Crimea on Makarov underground installations using new kind of missiles called "Digger Missiles". The Russians would launch chemical attacks on crops and farmlands but these actions would be protested by the global community. Meanwhile, the European Empire started making raids on many Makarov infrastructure and personnel living within the empire. 
The second invasion of Crimea would begin on December 20 when 800,000 Olympus soldiers wearing the new HERCULES suits and supported by a UN military force made up of 2 million men led by the European Empire. The invasion began when 30,000 Russian bomber planes and naval craft opened fire on strategic locations all over Crimea, leading to an increased casualty rate for the weakening Makarov forces. On 2:00 AM, the invasion force landed with no resistance much to their surprise and established a strong beachhead. Meanwhile, 40,000 UN paratroopers landed behind enemy lines and began sabotaging Makarov communication or supply lines, preventing the mercenaries from properly regrouping and launching a quick counterattack. 
The Olympus military force moved inland by December 22 and started to face heavy resistance from Makarov forces but they slowly pushed the mercenaries back, killing hundreds by the hour. The Crimean population took the invasion as an advantage and rose up against the Makarov military government, taking up arms against the corporate soldiers. With the massive Olympus force and the growing rebellion, Makarov control over the island started to deteriorate rapidly as more land along with men were being lost to either the military invasion force or the Crimean rebels. By December 25, most of the island was in chaos and anarchy as tired demoralized Makarov mercenaries try to establish order while also stopping the Olympus or UN soldiers. 
Crimea was liberated on January 1 when the city of Sevastopol was overrun by the Olympus soldiers, forcing the mercenaries to surrender. Only a few mercenary cells still loyal to Makarov remaining until their destruction or surrender on January 24. The war on Crimea ended with a Olympus victory with 320,000 Olympus soldiers,
