### Result

Josephite Victory, Reformation Defeat

World War IV was a war that was mostly between Charkao, Minted Island and China vs Zaktopia and Joshinstreet. World War IV was the second deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 105 million fatalities. Tens of millions of people died during the conflict due to genocides, massacres, destruction and conflicts. After the destruction World War 3 had caused, it was presumed that WWIV was a long way off or even never going to happen. The war seemed possible when Char Ko, emperor of the Eastern Zedician country of Charkao, gave Yin Bi, Charkao’s Prime Minister (Saigo Lingdao) 50% of power over the country in January 2070. Charkao quickly began to move further away from Zaktopia and Joshinstreet, and more towards China. When Charkao issued a warning to Joshinstreet that they would not be allowed to access their waters and they did anyway, a Joshinstreet naval vessel was taken into custody by the Charkaonese military. 10,000 soldiers were taken as prisoner and all their weaponry was dropped into the ocean. This caused huge outrage with Joshinstreet and they demanded retaliation. This continued into the Second Cold War. Charkao and China formed a union soon after named The Reformation League, further mounting the fears of another world war. Zaktopia and Joshinstreet, among other countries, then formed their own union called The Josephite Union. The Union was verified and was formed in New Harare in January 2071. Some proxy wars that began in the world between the 2 sides are The Josh-Somalian War and The War in Charkcity. Then on the 5th March, 2072, a far right religious organisation named The ZKG performed a terrorist attack on Shanghai Pudong Airport, killing 346. China believed that Zaktopia authorised this attack and vowed revenge. World War 4 officially began on 9 March, 2072 when Chinese President Yuan Chang suddenly commenced a full-scale invasion on Zaktopia's North-West coast. The following battles are only the battles that Zedician contries were involved in.

## The Invasion of Zakeja

The Invasion of Zakeja was the first battle in World War 4. It began when China launched a surprise invasion on the coastal city of Zakeja. Civilians watched in horror as Chinese Paratroopers dropped from planes and opened fire on anyone in their way. The city's police were no match for the Chinese soldiers and they quickly fled the city, leaving Zakeja with no defenses. The Chinese soldiers quickly secured the city and turned it into a giant fortress. Hours later, Zaktopian Soldiers arrived but were unable to penetrate the city. The two belligerents then formed a deal, the Zakejan citizens would be allowed to leave in exchange for the city being left alone by the Zaktopian military. The Zaktopian President Oleg Olabuda reluctantly agreed and they ordered the soldiers to fall back. The entire country was in shambles as the city of Zakeja was extremely close to New Zork and if the capital was lost, the country was lost. Hours later Zakeja was bombarded with artillery, bombings and cluster bombing. China had no air support and it would've took hours or even days for air support to get to them, as Joshinstreet exploited this they began flying jets, bombers and so on. China still held the city of Zakeja but a lot of their forces dwindled from the Joshinstreetian Air Force bombing them and gaining rapid air superiority. Some Joshinstreetian divisions were almost at a Zaktopian Rally Point to try and take back Zakeja. The city held firm and China wouldn't make a move in Zaktopia for months.

## Progression - Republican Party War

Internal conflicts in Charkao were ongoing throughout the majority of the war. The belligerents were the Charkaonese Progression Party led by Char Ko and the Reformers led by Yin Bi. Small shootouts took place and even a framing of the CPA in the form of an ambush in Libcemia. The co-founder of the Progession Party Karl Penzao Spitzer was killed via assassination. The Reformers were ruthless and killed thousands of innocents that were even minorly involved withthe CPP. Ko Industries was a vital company in the series of conflicts as they provided weapons to the Progression Party and rejected The Charkaonese government of their main weapon supply. Many Charkaonese government officials were killed by the CPA via home raiding and car bombing. The CPA soldiers' armor would completely cover the body, making it impossible for them to be identified. The same rule applied for some of the CPP politicians causing distrust and paranoia in the government. The battles weren't meant to act as a revolution but instead be a constant hindrance to Yin Bi's chances at maintaining the winning side of the war.

## The Mintish Invasion of the Jiberian Coast

The Mintish Invasion of the Jiberian Coast was a rash and poorly executed invasion lead by Minted Island on the 8th of September, 2072. It's been dubbed as one of the worst military disasters to have ever happened where over an estimated 237,000 Mintish soldiers where led into a naval invasion of the Jiberian Coast, one of the first mistakes that were made was that Keith Tranty didn't equip his soldiers with winter gear, as he said it was "too heavy" and "my soldiers don't need it" before even getting to the coast of Jiberia, over 450 of them already had frostbite. Joshinstreet had around 40,000 soldiers on the coast, with machine gun nests being set up mid invasion, as soon as the mintish versions of a more modernized LCVP landed, most of them had already cracked the building up ice that went into the cold waters a bit, with over 30lbs+ of gear, over almost 3,000 soldiers had fell into the ice or they have drowned before the battle begun. The Mintish soldiers stood out with a more woodland camouflage compared to the Joshish snow camo, which made them easy targets for the Joshish snipers. The Mintish Soldiers were stuck at a river crossing, as Joshish soldiers pelted grenades over, another mistake they made was not moving onto solid land when the grenades were thrown, they were a couple of meters away from a river at a small hill that was made out of piling snow, when the ice cracked again, another 885 soldiers had fell into the ice and either got frostbite or died. Joshinstreet began repelling the Minted Soldiers away

The Battle was ended quickly compared to others, only lasting 2 weeks. At least 56,000 Mintish Soldiers got frostbite and died, and another 71,000 were killed. Over 9,000 had fled or were missing in action and the 99,000 were taken captive and were prisoners of war.

## The Battle of The NKVD HQ

The Battle of the NKVD HQ was a Charkaonese infiltration operation on the NKVD HQ in Central Zoshinville. It took place in Febuary 2073. A Joshinstreetian mole by the name of Ivan Novikov had leaked a highly unethical Josephite project called Operation Vanquish. The operation would be a last resort that declared if the Josephite Union lost they would release a biological virus into Reformation League countries, killing millions and devastating their economies. Ivan got cold feet and leaked it to the Reformation League and the United Nations. In Febuary 2073, there was evidence pointing towards Ivan Novikov’s phone that he could not tamper with, he knew he would be caught and be unearthed as the mole in a matter of days. Ivan Novikov decided to sneak 4 Charkaonese Special Operatives into the NKVD HQ in Zoshinville before he was caught. A large undisclosed number of Joshinstreetians died and one of the four Charkaonese Special Operatives were taken into custody and are currently under interrogation. This became known as “The Battle of The NKVD HQ”. He snuck them in through the sewers and they infiltrated the underground nuclear bunker underneath the HQ. The NKVD was largely unprepared for the assault. The Charkaonese Special Ops mowed down the unprepared Joshinstreetian NKVD officers. They gathered evidence on Top Secret military projects such as Operation Vanquish, giving them an advantage in the war. Three of the operatives escaped, along with Novikov who had been revealed to be the mole.

## 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 the UN 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 (Charkaonese Police). An additional 4000 were arrested. This devastated the company and greatly damaged the CPA's weapons supply, causing them to entirely drop out of the Operation. Charkcity had 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.

## Joshish Invasion of Minted Island

The Joshish Invasion of the Minted Island is a response to Keith Tranty's attack beginning on the 14th of December, 2072, but they sought to execute it well, unlike the previous battle in Jiberia. One of the first plan to the operation was a small coup in Minted Island, as Joshinstreet armed violent rebels and criminals to uprise and divert attention from them, which caused more people joining in on the rebels due to Keith Tranty's horrific ways. After the Mintish Coup went underway, Joshinstreet sent out troops to make a crude landing in the port of Kentom, located around 60km from the capital. The marines quickly took over the port and captured the Mintish soldiers. The marines met up with one of the coup leaders and told them vital information about a Mintish Division coming their way, unknown of the Joshish Marines. After the marines made sure the landing was safe soon more of the army came, along with some tanks, APCs, air support and a Joshish Battleship. As the Mintish Division came along through the fields, they were quickly ambushed by Joshish Soldiers. A shootout ensued which resulted in a horrible toll for the Mintish Soldiers, being surrounded by tanks and soldiers, they lacked a supply line and with barely any cover, most of them were captured or killed which resulted in over 12,000 deaths. Keith Tranty soon knew about this, and decided to mobilize troops against the Joshish divisions located on their homeland. Despite having one of the strongest militaries in the world, a lot of Mintish soldiers had lacked equipment. Keith had a lot of unethical ways of war, including strategies from the Great War, which only held them in a stalemate for longer. Many disasters had happened during this such as an incident in Roshi where a COD Zeppelin Blimp was shot down, and had more casualties than one of the worst blimp disaster ever, the USS Akron disaster. A total of 92 out of 94 crewmembers were killed and a small part of Roshi was set on fire, causing another 23 civilian casualties. Joshinstreet kept going at Minted Islands, battle after battle they seemed to have been winning most of them, they took heavy casualties in some battles but that lacked compared to the unethical ways of war that Keith had in mind. The fighting in Minted Islands raged on, as the Joshinstreet held firm in Minted Islands, holding multiple towns as the coup kept on going.

After months and months of Mintish troops throwing themselves at Joshinstreet troops, it seemed that they were exhausted, the Joshish troops began to push up a slight bit, now only 25km from the capital of Roshi, with more parties rising up in Minted Islands, it didn't seem good for Keith Tranty and his government. Joshinstreetians continued to ambush Mintish soldiers, and even had to fight against anarchist and fascist parties that wanted total power. As Joshinstreet inched closer and closer to Roshi, Minted Island done one hard push, and took a heavy toll on Joshish soldiers, but little did Minted Island know, they were going to have bigger problems. On the 6th of November, 2073. Minted Islands was finally at the brink of collapse. Multiple factions, parties, governments, provisional governments all over the entire country had erupted into a civil war. This was the beginning of the Mintish Civil War, as Joshinstreet didn't pull out of Minted Island because they were already occupying some of the land, some parties lacked tech, but had bigger numbers. Joshinstreet had state of the art equipment in Minted Island, but they didn't want to risk sending even more troops into the Island as it was practically on fire. Keith Tranty and his government were included in this civil war, as they fought for power with their provisional government. Joshinstreet was still in Minted Island, fighting off the current factions and parties located around the Island.

## Mintish Civil War

The Mintish Civil War is a civil war that started in 2073 due to the outbreak of different politic ideologies as Keith Tranty began to lose his grip in Minted Island due to the Joshish Invasion. As more politic freedom began to scour through Minted Island, multiple parties and factions had risen up. They saw the chance due to the coup that was ongoing and the Joshish soldiers in Minted Island. There was four main factions with multiple party ideologies in it. **The Risen Front** that was mainly combined of left wing ideologies, such as anarchists, syndicalists, communists, leninists, marxists and so on led by Blem Nouem. **Popular Frontier** was mainly combined of nationalist ideas, such as monarchists, fascists, neo-nazis, catholic-conservatives, radicalists, pan-nationalists and so on, this was led by popular figurehead and previous General, Cien Donuld. The two other factions being the Joshinstreetians and leftist-rebels that Joshinstreet funded with weapons. The final one being the Mintish Provisional Government, being ran by Keith Tranty and his government. Most of these factions had weapons, rifles and raided multiple military bases around Minted Islands. The soldiers even tended to join certain sides of the factions. Zaktopia, US, Russia and Israel all chose to recognise the leftist-rebels that were funded and being helped by Joshinstreet but those countries chose to not intervene in the civil war itself. Roshi was mainly under the Mintish Provisional Government as the rest of the other factions attacked each other, raided cities and bombed them with stolen artillery. Joshinstreet and the leftists held the coast, holding back any other factions that came their way. The Risen Front had taken a portion of the south side of Minted Islands, while the Popular Frontier had mainly taken some land around the west. As cities were bombed, civilians fled to the countryside where they were killed by stray anarchists that had no idea what was going on. The civil war split Minted Islands apart and it will never be the same again, infrastructure was heavily destroyed by all sides.

### Battle of Roshi

The Battle of Roshi was a conflict that was a big part of the civil war, as the Risen and Popular continued to fight each other, Joshinstreet and their leftists had advanced into Roshi, the capital. After being in a shootout with the provisionals, they held up some of them in a building. What the Joshinstreetians didn't know was that Keith Tranty was held up in that building, as he used it as his personal office and affairs. Joshinstreet were held up firing at the building for days, the main provisional force was stuck in the fort and as the other factions began to stray into Roshi, everything was heated. Minted Island were on fire as everyone fought each other. The Joshinstreetians and leftists finally assaulted the fort. At 3:55am they stormed into it, having air support they got into the fort with some sort of ease. Shootouts ensued as the larger force of Joshinstreetians stayed outside just incase any other faction had came over. A lot of the provisionals began to escape as they stood no chance. They regrouped but had many internal conflicts that always kept them apart. As Joshinstreetian soldiers stormed into the office of Keith Tranty, they confronted him. Keith had an ambush set up in his office, over 7 Joshinstreetians were critically injured as they fought of the small ambush. Keith had escaped with his government. Over 22 Joshinstreetians were captured in the fort. The rest outside were unable to go inside, as everything was blocked. The 22 soldiers were executed. As the other soldiers began shooting at the men in the fort, killing them. After figuring that Keith had escaped they regrouped and continued to fight throughout Roshi to find him. After hours of fighting with other factions and independent factions, the Joshish Soldiers had word that Keith Tranty was found and taken by a 2 NKVD spies sent into Minted Island to find him. As Keith Tranty was taken back to the House of Vera to be confronted by Dima Smirnov himself, the Joshish soldiers and leftists still continued to fight about Roshi. The other factions were fighting all over Minted Island as it was practically ruined.

## Battle of Vilstatt

The Battke of Vilstatt began on the 12th of April 2074 when Charkaonese Troops began advancing over the border. After the attempted Liberation of Markborough, Charkcity was heavily damaged and their economy was on the brink of collapse. Yin Bi saw this as an advantage and a way to stamp out another threat to his country. He then ordered an invasion on Charkcity. The border between the two countries was bombed by Charkaonese YB-21 Bomber Planes. EMPs were also detonated, preventing any survivors from calling for help. The plan was to keep quiet all the way to Vilstatt, where they would bomb the city and gradually send in 200 thousand Charkaonese soldiers via land travel and paratrooping. To guarantee the victory, 8 Charkaonese Carrier Ships and 35 Cruisers would attack and invade into the beaches of Vilstatt. The Debuting Charkaonese General Zhao gave the order and Charkaonese Elite were sent in and cleared out the two closest military camps Tantser Outpost and Fort Schutzelvig. In 8 days, they successfully and quietly made it to Vilstatt while also clearing out all military outposts along the way. They then gave the order and the first wave of soldiers departed from Tatebuchi and made their way towards Vilstatt, without having to worry about being detected by camps. The wave made it to Vilstatt but the alarm was raised in Charkcity due to investigations into the silence in the military camps. Vilstatt was then bombed and the defences were greatly damaged. The first wave of Charkaonese soldiers stormed the city and fought with the Vilstatt soldiers and police. Planes then flew over Vilstatt and thousands of troops paratrooped down onto the city. General Zhao refused to send more soldiers as he thought they would be killed on the way to Vilstatt. The Charkaonese Soldiers in Vilstatt began losing the domination of the city and when it looked like it was the end for them, the Naval Invasion began. Vilstatt was then taken by surprise as they became overwhelmed by Charkaonese soldiers and Charkcity surrendered on the 23rd of April 2074. Within 2 months, Charkcity was comfortably under Yin Bi and General Zhao's thumb.

## Battle of Angakhov

In the Battle of Angakhov (11th January 2075 - July 4th 2075) Joshinstreet and its allies, such as Zaktopian Volunteers, Ciarpine, Dadbeach and other Josephite Union allies fought the RSM and Charkao in Angakhov, the capital of the RSM. The Battle was one of the most vital of World War 4. It was marked by fierce close-quarter combat along with air raids and direct assault on civilians via stripping away their supply line. Joshinstreet fought Charkaonese and RSM forces in the city. Joshinstreet troops had surrounded most of the West side of the city, where a lot of troops were held. Joshinstreet purposely bombed weapon factories and tank factories, Charkaonese tanks were seen go out into battle unpainted or even missing gun parts at sometimes. Reformation League casualties were high, but Josephite casualties were also quite large. Joshinstreet had sent their 3rd Army and 7th Bak Army, as Charkaonese troops were being send down the Dark Sea river for heavy reinforcements, Yin Bi feared about Joshinstreets pushing into the East, and planned to send a lot of reserve troops, even if they were not as trained as others.

Heavy Fighting had been happening for over 5 months, and both sides were exhausted from it. Angakhov was a key city for the RSM and losing it means they would have to retreat East. Yin Bi tried to send out an order to his troops that explained that he didn't want them to fall back, but this was mostly denied and they had to retreat further as Joshinstreet tried to push in. The Charkaonese 11th Army tried to flank Joshinstreet from above, this failed horribly as Joshinstreet troops were already coming down from Dadbeach, this led to the destruction of the 11th Army where most of them either surrendered to Joshinstreet or died fighting. On the 4th of July, 2075 many Reformation Troops fled from the city due to orders but some kept fighting. The RSM 23rd Tank Division were captured due to a late retreat. Josephite had taken the capital of the country as the remaining Reformation troops fled to the borders of Sweatingrad.

## The Battle of Vilheim

The Battle of Vilheim was a military battle of World War 4, in which the Charkaonese Air Force and the Charkaonese Fifteenth Army defended the former-Charkcitian region of Vilheim against the Buenapark Air Force and the Markborough Rebel Army. Buenapark launched the aerial invasion on the 6th of March, 2075, defying the Josephite Union's warnings. The Buenapark President Abeo Musa, believed that due to Charkao's involvement in the Battle of Angakhov, they would not also be able to defend their newly controlled land. Abeo Musa then made a deal with the Markborough Rebels, in which they would be funded in return for help in military engagements and to agree to sneak Buenapark fighter jets into Markborough landing strips. The invasion began when Buenapark Bomber Jets began targeting Charkaonese Military Ports and Shipping Convoys. The Charkaonese Air Force quickly responded, dispatching 48 Fighter Jets into the compromised airspace. Buenapark is renowned worldwide for their skilled pilots and for having an outstanding air force for a country of their size. 50 Percent of the Military funding goes to the air force, trading a great air force for an unexceptional Army and Navy. After months of Ship bombings and air superiority battles, it seemed like Buenapark might take victory in Vilheim. Unfortunately for them, July 2075 came, and the Battle of Angakhov ended, allowing Yin Bi and General Zhao to center all their attention on Buenapark. Charkao even requested help from China, which was answered with 1500 Aircraft aiming their Guns at Buenapark. The following weeks in the sky was filled with bullets and explosions that seemed like it would never end. The city of Brugwerpen had been taken by the Buenapark Air Force, with the Markborough Rebels standing guard. When it began to seem like a stalemate, General Zhao came up with a plan. Instead of targeting military objectives in Brugwerpen, they will target civilian food and water supplies, forcing the city to be evacuated, which legally allowed Charkao to fire ballistic missiles at the city. The Plan came to action on the 28th of August and after the civilians were evacuated, all hell broke loose. 50 Missiles were fired at vital points in the city, devastating the Buenapark's jet storage and landing strips and taking out Markborough Rebel Forts. This practically disabled the city's defenses and offenses, allowing the city to be raided by the Charkaonese Fifteenth Army. The city was taken on the 1st of September and all external military forces were flushed out of the country by the 14th of September. It was a clear victory for the Reformation League, and greatly damaged Buenapark and the Markborough Rebels.

## Charkaonese Civil War

The Charkaonese Civil War began shortly after the Charkaonese General Election in February 2076 which was a vast majority win for the Charkaonese Progression Party which would see the reinstatement of an Emperor and the change of ideology from Reformatism to Progressivism. The two belligerents were the Charkaonese Progessivist Republic led by Char Ko and the Charkaonese Reformatist Republic led by Yin Bi. The Reformatist Government refused the change of power and ordered the assassination of the top CPP Politicians. The War began when the states of Yugatori and Yasaki declared secession from the Reformation League and from the Charkaonese Reformatist Republic, forming the Charkaonese Progressivist Republic.

After Progressivist forces seized numerous federal forts within territory claimed by the CPR, the CRR began rallying their troops. Char Ko assumed that due to the Josephite countries' great relations with the Charkanese Progressivist Republic, they would aid them, but none did, and none recognized the new Charkonese Progressivist Republic.

Hostilities began on February 22, 2076, when Progressivist forces fired upon Fort Panqing in the state of Jeyong. Violence continued as CPR forces began successfully pushing the CRR further into Charkao. Yin Bi's police force, the Reformers, launched Operation: Eradication and Operation: Eviction. Operation: Eradication involved the killing of anyone who was against Yin Bi's regime, or anyone even suspected of allying or agreeing with the CPR. Operation: Eviction involved the eviction of anyone in the CRR who had relatives from regions in the CPR or were from the CPR. Due to the large amount of immigrants from Nakamoto after the Douzhin District was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of innocents were arrested and/or executed if they resisted arrest.

The war then continued and it was unclear which side was winning. The Progressivists would gain a small amount of land, only to be taken back by the Reformatists. Yin Bi was dumbfounded how they weren't winning and suspected his own party was full of traitors. He then had many innocent and valuable members from the government killed, including the Air Field Marshall and the Fleet Admiral. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and politicians were terminated, greatly damaging the CRR. This left them unprepared when the Progressivists launched 3 simultaneous sub-invasions on bordered regions. The regions were taken in weeks and the CRR was left critically damaged and paranoid of traitors. The RSM completely fell to the Josephites at this point, restricting backup. Out of suspicion, Yin Bi began accusing China of having no faith in a Reformation League victory and taking bribes to give information which lead to China refusing to aid the CRR.

In December 2078, due to the Progressivist winnings and Char Ko's diplomacy, the CPR was finally recognised by the Josephite Union and accepted into the Union itself. In January, they finally gave aid to the Progressivists, seizing the opportunity to put an end to Yin Bi's Charkao. Zaktopian, Joshinstreetian and Buenaparkian forces joined Progressivist forces pushing into Zhendong. The Josephites destroyed the CRR river navy by March 2079 and seized Shandsai. The successful Josephite siege of Mitterben gave Charkcity freedom, making the CRR, the third smallest country in the East Zedician Peninsula, behind Nerdnation and Cycia. In August 2079, Yin Bi's Reformatist incursion south ended at the Battle of Karazou. The Progressivists then gathered resources and manpower to attack the CRR from all directions, leading to the fall of Salharoot. The last significant battles raged around the Siege of Paruzuma. Yin Bi's escape attempt was intercepted and his convoy was ambushed. Before he could be captured or killed, Bi shot himself, ending his gruesome reign over East Zedici. While the civil war was coming to an end, the political reintegration of the nation would take years, beginning the unification era. Markborough was given independence and the RSM was split into Mossgrifin and Sweatingrad, with Sweatingrad being under CPR occupation and Mossgriffin under Joshinstreet occupation. Although the CPR was an altogether different country to the CRR, Char Ko did not try to resist sanctions and instead gladly accepted them, swearing to hold peace and never to start conflict in the nation. Charkao's military size was decreased and the multi-party system in Charkao was proven to be corrupt and was abolished, starting the Charkaonese Empire and ending the Charkaonese Democratic Republic started all those years ago in 1778. Char Ko had total power and the Ko Family became the only royal family. They had learned their lesson from trusting politicians and an Absolute Monarchy seemed the most virtuous option. The Charkaonese Empire then left the Josephite Union but stayed allied to it until its dissolvement.

## Battle of Beijing

The Battle of Beijing, also known as the Beijing Offensive Operation by the Joshinstreetian Government was the last major offensive in World War 4 in the East Asian theater.

The battle took place 2 weeks into Josephite invasion of China after Operation Strikeback was completed by Josephite Forces when they succeeded to take both Qinhuangdo, Tangshan, Chengde and Zhangjiakou. Beijing had found itself surrounded by Joshish Forces, as Zaktopian and other forces reluctantly held the other cities that they had taken previously. Joshish Soldiers had made it to the outskirts of Beijing on September 3rd, 2079. Both the Joshish 11th Army and the Vat 5th Army had attacked Beijing from the Northeast and the Southeast. Both General Zaou and Yong were surprised, and their armies were decimated and they were forced to push back further. Zaktopian forces followed along the Chaobai New River to Support and Assume the Joshish Main Forces. Beijing was successfully encircled and were cut off from their main supply line. They captured a Garrison full of poorly trained divisions along with Youth Divisions, China knew this was their last stand and Yuan Chang knew they were going to fall, they had mobilized everyone, from disabled to children if they were able to hold a gun they were utilized in the battlefield, which in the end had much more deaths on the Chinese side. After the Joshish Main Forces and the Zaktopian Infantry had pushed directly into the city of Beijing, Yuan Chang committed suicide on the 29th of September, 2079. Along with many of his other officials. The city garrison officially surrendered a day after Yuan's death. Although fighting ensued in other regions for about a month for the soldiers that didn't know their leaders demise. Joshinstreet nuked the city of Guangzhou weeks later to officially end the war in China and end the war for Zaktopia and Joshinstreet, with the Charkaonese Empire later finishing off the remaining Reformatist countries.

## Battles of Preservation

The Battles of Preservation were a series of battles led by the Charkaonese Empire against the remaining Reformatist countries. The Charkaonese Empire was not aided by the Josephite countries due to tensions between the Empire and the Union after they left the Josephite Union. The first battle began on the 4th of September 2079 and the last battle ended on the 22nd of December 2079.

The first battle was the Battle of Achaemenia, a recently unifed nation that was made up of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikstan and Kyrgyzstan. The battle began on the 4th of September when the Charkaonese Empire declared war on the nation. Achaemenia was heavily damaged as it was kept running by being funded by the CRR and the RRC. Achaemenia was on the brink of collapse and was full of rebel groups and terrorist organizations. The Charkaonese Empire heavily funded these groups and eventually Achaemenia was left with an eighth of its original land and power, allowing Char Ko to swiftly order a battle that was mostly comprised of air raids and the bombardment of military outposts by artillery. Achaemenia surrendered after it's Dictator and Supreme General commited suicide.

The second battle was the Battle of Persia, a reformed unified nation that was made up of Iran and Iraq. Persia was also damaged after the recent losses of the Reformation League but were determined to stay strong. Persia and the Charkaonese Empire had a similar military might so a conventional invasion by the Empire would not have been a smart thing to do. Fortunately for Charkao, nuclear weapons were banned in the Reformation League but Charkao had a moderately sized ballistic missile production. Persian government buildings and military outposts were targeted by the WMDs and little retalliation was returned. Persia had successfully ambushed Charkaonese Naval and Trade Ships but it was a losing battle for them and they surrendered on the 8th of December 2079.

The third and final battle was the Battle of Somalia, a short military operation that lasted two weeks. Somalia was already hurt from their loss to Joshinstreet in the Josh-Somalian War and the recent losses of the Reformation League was not helping. Somalia was on the brink of collapse and Charkao only further pushed that oppurtunity by intercepting and trade and import ships going into Somalia. This led to a militial collapse and the dissolution of the government, causing many revolutionary groups to take the land that was once Somalia's. Their president commited suicide and the battle was officially over on the 22nd of December 2079.

After the three battles the remaining Reformatist belligerents surrended and the Reformation League collapsed, finally ending World War 4. Many sanctions and diplomatic meetings would follow and the World would be lead into an era of Isolationism and militial collapse.
