## Chronology

### New World War Arc

After the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Advanced Fleets on the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, the Special Extermination Operations Division under command of General Kaizal was given orders from Caesar to move out and start bombing raids on Japanese cities to assist Caesar's plan, using their new heavy bombers, Guti Maun.

The executives reported to Operations Director Arley Tolliger in the office. He asked General Kaizal some reasons why after he read the part of the report that the fleet suffered damaged. He replied him that the operation was still in progress, and since it was a military secret, no information had come.

In order to prevent the morale of the bombing squadron from plummeting, Caesar deliberately concealed the information of the destruction of two Advanced Fleets so they could bomb Japanese cities effectively but he warned them about the guided missiles. However the range of the guided bullet, the altitude reached, the propulsion method, and the guidance method were full of unknowns. Arley Tolliger wanted to know more information about a guided bullet in visual flight or from an invisible distance. Kaizal believed that the Super Heavy Bombing Regiment was invincible which Japan couldn't reach and provide escort all the way to the target in an extremely high attitude. Their target was Nagoya, one of the Japanese major cities. He asked Kaizal that it wasn't request the capital. He responded the air defenses around the capital would be thick, and Nagoya was a technological city in Japan. The air strikes were inaccurate for naval gunfire.

The Gra Valkas Empire Special Extermination Operations Division Super Heavy Bombing Unit had decided to participate in the attack on Japan. 200 Guti Maun Heavy Bombers, which took off from each airport, flew into the azure sky ahead to the Riem Kingdom.

In the sky over the Mu Continent, Arley Tolliger heard the report from the subordinates that there was no sign of Mu's Marin fighters in the high altitude that was wandering far low in circles right below them. Seemingly uninteresting, he threw it away. TTheir objective was Japan and only Japan. Mu, while exposed to their attack, wasn’t in their sight. The subordinate reported to him that the Guti Maun Heavy Bomber No. 18 had trouble with the 4th engine. He instructed the 18th machine to return to Leifor's Love base without problem. Guti Maun Heavy Bomber No. 18 took the course toward the Love base in Leifor.

Before commencing operation to attack the Japanese mainland, a meeting was held between Gra Valkas and Riem military officials at the Gra Valkas Imperial Airbase in the Hikilga, Riem Kingdom. In the operation meeting room at the Imperial Army headquarters, a map of Japan acquired by Riem some time after their transfer and a map taken from the sky were spread out. Arley Tolliger listened the explanation from Imperial Army Executive Murnow with Imperial Air Corps General Macina and 44th Task Force Commander Zem about the attack plan on Japan. Murnow gave them an operation:

* *In order for Macina to avoid radar detection, the Air Corps consisted of fighter-bombers would fly at ultra-low altitude to bomb Awara City, in Fukui Prefecture. The Air Corp also served as decoys to divert JSDF attention from the Guti Maun bombers.*
* *In order for Arley Tolliger to make full 200 Guti Maun bombers taking advantage of their extraordinary performance of ultra-high attitude to firebomb Nagoya into ashes. The operation could achieve the overwhelming projection power, ultra-high altitude navigation ability, and overwhelming speed of the super-heavy bombing regiment that far exceeds the attack aircraft of the Army Air Corps. It called Operation Barbecue.*
* *In order for Zem to make the 44th Task force consists of 56 ships in charge of radio blockage 300 km from Japan with air support from Riem Kingdom Fleet. Later, if conditions permit, they will assist the air force to bombard Awara City.*

The operation carried out in response was the Nahanath assault operation, which was the main force of the Home Fleet, but the military headquarters executives did not touch on the specifics.

Then Murnow made other operation for Riem military officials that Riem Dragon Carrier Fleet would attack the city of Duro to destroy Japanese merchant ships to intimidate Japan and reduce their trading capability. After the attack in Duro was completed, Riem Dragon Carrier Fleet would go to the northwest of Japan and acted as bait to distract and disturb the JASDF. Macina spoke Murnow cautious that he would execute it, but he felt that he was too wary of Japan from the information originally issued by the navy headquarters. Zem agreed with Macina's doubts. It was revealed; the Gra Valkas high command mostly retained their ultra-arrogance and false sense of supremacy, as they wholeheartedly believe their horrendous loss in Mu and the destruction of Valkyries Air Base were due to extreme military blunders and carelessness. Furthermore, even though the Gra Valkas Military HQ inaccurately re-evaluated Japan as the same level of power as the Kain Divine Kingdom back in Yugudo, the re-evaluation was still considered to be incredibly unbelievable and absurd, leading to the fact that no one in Gra Valkas military bother researching Japan's mainland defense. They were little complained about that, but Murnow strongly shouted all the military officials and personnel of the Gra Valkas and Riem full of extreme confidence and passion for victory. Macina understood the policy of the military headquarters. Arley Tolliger was enthusiastic to name Nagoya "Operation BBQ" and scorched Nagoya. Zem even stated that he couldn't wait to see Nagoya turned into BBQ by Guti Maun firebombing.

In the high sky on the east side of the Riem Kingdom after leaving Riem Air Base, Arley Tolliger felt remorse that the low-altitude fighter squadrons were simply being used as a bait to make sure Guti Maun reaches Nagoya. However, upon receiving the report that the 3rd Air Corps was destroyed, his bomber formation came under attack by BVR missiles. One hundred and twenty of his bombers were destroyed in midair, despite being at a high altitude. Arley Tolliger in a panic, gave the order to turn back as he saw that losing over half of his forces was seen as a tactical defeat and he couldn't risk losing the remaining 83 bombers, while stating that the bombing operation was an utter failure. At that point, the Japanese jets came within visual range to finish them off.

The defensive gunners could not shoot down any of the jets, as they were too fast and could even fly higher than their bombers. The remaining bombers fell prey to heat-seeking missiles and M61 Vulcan fire. Arley Tolliger was shocked to realize too late that the guided missiles were a reality, before he departed this world as a missile sent his bomber into oblivion.
