### Result

Foso Mezaco Militia victory * VMS forces heavily depleted
* Meezican religion is replaced with Medaizocan in Asia

The **Mezaco Jungle War** (Meezican: *Mezaco Jangazo K'war*) was a war in Asia waged by the country of New Mezaco in response to the Vietnamese Meezican Society's interpretation of the Medaizocan faith as hostile. Under Foggyland's watch in desperation to rid the terrorists, Mani Sok and Noe Papazo founded the Foso Mezaco Militia to combat the Vietnamese Meezican Society.

The conflict emerged when Mani Sok and Noe Papazo were eating together in Taiwan Dragon. They overheard that a Meezican group were resorting to radical terrorism to spread their religion, and the two swiftly got up to argue with the VMS troops. The troops instantly recognized Mani Sok as the former leader of New Mezaco and declared a crusade on him and his people.

The war led on for four years with the most conflict in the first year and a half. The lack of VMS documentation was partly due to the silence of the group, but estimated death numbers are around 31,000.

## Background

The existence of the Vietnamese Meezican Society, a radical group focused on spreading the Meezican religion through harm, was unknown to the nation of New Mezaco during the early years of the groups formation. This was until Mani Sok and Noe Papazo overheard from VMS troops about their intentions, and Mani Sok quickly confronted them. The men held their guns to Mani's face but he didn't flinch. The group declared war on the entirety of Mani Sok after recognizing him as the former leader and Mani Sok returned to New Mezaco after 13 years.

## Timeline

### **Battle of Hanoi and Sơn La (Spring 2189)**

Talibanzo forces rallied in Sanya and went to the Hanoi airport by plane to get picked up by Noe and his militia. Together, the militia and Talibanzo set off to fight against the VMS in the evacuated Hanoi Industrial with Foggyland's permission. The Talibanzo pushed the VMS back into the jungle towards Sơn La and eventually they gained control of the mountain. When the VMS were dying fast, Mani Sok dropped all of his weapons and walked into enemy lines with only a candle and blessed every single dying VMS soldier. "For you are blessed, may mercy be given under my command for you all."

The city of Son La was then shortly taken by the Foso Mezaco Militia and the remaining VMS soldiers were executed. All survivors retreated to the jungles to regroup at the rice fields. Taking after them, the joint force flew through the jungle in an APC. They then set off on foot through the harsh conditions of Vietnam. They stumbled upon a field, where VMS soldiers were sniping. Mani Sok and the Talibanzo fought the final stand against the corrupt VMS and killed several of them, Mani Sok blessing all of their corpses. While fighting a skilled former VLA soldier, Mani Sok was shot in the leg. Noe called out to Mani and jumped to his aid, only for Mani to pass in his arms.
