The Liberation of Markborough

The Liberation of Markborough was a military operation lead by Charkcity and the CPP in attempts of liberating Markborough from being completely conquered by Charkao. The operation lead to a war and many innocents were killed. It was considered one of the most deadly conflicts in World War 4. The operation was ultimately a fail and only benefitted Charkao as they decided to do what the Allies feared and took complete control over Markborough.

When Markborough joined the Reformation League in 2070, confusion arose throughout the globe as the Markboroughian Government was strong allies with the CPP and greatly opposed Yin Bi's regime. All was revealed when the president of Markborough, Auguste Bell, was replaced by a half Charkaonese man named Leonard Huang of the Markborough Republican Party. Soon after, deals and treaties were put in place between Charkao and Markborough, suggesting that the country had become a puppet. Charkcity was defeated by Charkao in July and wanted help for a future attack and their only place to look was Markborough. The country was then reached out to by the CPP in offerings of help. Markborough agreed and the two belligerents hatched a plan on returning Markborough to its former self.

The first moves that were made was through diplomacy, inserting Charkcitian moles into the Markborough government, influencing other members and trying to peacefully deconstruct the treaties that were put in place by Charkao. Unfortunately, Yin Bi was one step ahead as he had planted moles in the CPP and the Charkcitian government. Yin Bi also ordered the silencing of the non-Charkaonese spies via blackmail but a Charkcitian State Senator by the name of Jonas Tremblay refused to keep quiet and leaked everything to the public. Charkcity was enraged and in rash thinking they killed all suspected Charkaonese moles in their government. This infuriated Charkao as they were all vital allies to the Charkaonese Government. Charkaonese Elites swept through the Charkcitian House of Verstand and killed almost all the politicians with a death toll of 294. Although only 1 of the elites escaped alive, it is was a mass success for Charkao. They then bombed a CPA militia base in Greater Nakamoto. The bombing killed 2500+ CPA soldiers but the bombing backfired on Yin Bi as it caught fire to the Douzhin District, causing explosions. Confusion spread through the Police there and they presumed that it was all in Yin Bi's plan so they denied the Fire Department from helping. Over 80 percent of the district got destroyed and killed at least 180 thousand people.

Months went by with no attacking due to the world's shock of these events. The United Nations was left stumped on what to do as if they punished Charkao, they would also have to punish Zaktopia and Joshinstreet due to the highly unethical Operation Vanquish. Because of this they stayed quiet and Yin Bi took that as encouragement, embarking on more cruel endevaours such as Bloody Friday. Bloody Friday got it's name due to the 2500+ Ko Industries employees that were killed by the Reformers. An additional 4000 thousand were arrested. This devastated the company and greatly damaged the CPA's weapons supply, causing them to entirely drop out of the Operation. Charkcity has one choice, War and they took it.

Shots were first fired outside the Markborough Parliament by Undercover Charkcity soldiers. The Charkcitians soldiers followed their orders and took over the parliament, killing all Charkaonese members and holding Leonard Huang hostage. Markborough soldiers quickly arrived but were told that if they tried anything, Leonard Huang would be killed. The Police retreated without hesitation but they informed Charkao that Charkcitians had taken hold of their Parliament. Yin Bi then swiftly sent 10 thousand soldiers to the Markborough parliament. The Charkcitians were intimidated but held their ground confident that they wouldn't dare risk the death of Huang. To their surprise, the Charkaonese didn't even hesitate and fired missiles at the building. The building collapsed and any surviving soldiers were immediately shot. Over 500 Charkcitian soldiers and 680 Markboroughian politicians were killed, including President Huang. The Operation was then completely abandoned in September 2073 and Markborough became conquered by Charkao.

The Operation only added more power and strength to Charkao while also weakening Charkcity and the CPP. At this point, the Reformation League had won almost all the battles in the War so far and if the Josephites were to win, something would have to change.
