Parpaldian-Coalition War (Summoning Indonesia)

The Parpaldian-Coalition War was a conflict in Summoning Indonesia by bocchips between the Parpaldian Empire and the Eastern Coalition. The war started with Parpaldia's attempted invasion of Altaras and the punitive strike in Fenn. Following these attacks, the war soon spread to Rodenius and the areas around southern Philades.

## Background

As the Parpaldian Empire continued to rapidly industrialize and modernize, it soon found out that it needed much more resources to keep up with it. All of this led to the invasion of a number of nations around Parpaldia such as Kooze to feed the empire's ever growing demand for resources. These expansions would catch the eye of a number of Parpaldia's neighbors such as Altaras, which saw it as a threat to their national security. All of this would later end up with the Parpaldian invasion of Altaras and the punitive strike in Fenn.

## Battle for Fenn & Altaras

### First Battle for Fenn

After being repeatedly offended by the small island nation of Fenn, the Parpaldian Empire had enough and finally decided to bring their judgement towards the seemingly weak island nation. In the meantime, Indonesian diplomats were in Fenn to open diplomatic relations before they were given the news of an imminent Parpaldian invasion by Fenn's current ruler, Sword King Shihan. The Indonesians were disappointed by these news and knew that Fenn would not enjoy the same privilege that Qua-Toyne had recently enjoyed during the Qua-Toynian-Lourian War.

In Parpaldia, a subjugation force of 10 warships were sent to punish the island kingdom and they would also aim to strike during the Fennese Military Festival, which would essentially allow the Parpaldians to show that the empire is not to be messed with. Meanwhile, the high ranking Fennese officials were skeptical of their ability to win against Parpaldia, especially with the huge difference in economic and military might. But during this same meeting, the idea of unconventional warfare was brought up, which saw some opposition from the more conservative officials. However, Shihan saw this idea in a different way, understanding that change must happen if they were ever going to stand up against Parpaldia.

The attack began as the festival was ongoing with the dispatch of Parpaldian Wyvern Lords to attack the participants. Unfortunately, the Fennese defenders used fireworks and hwachas to disorient the Parpaldian Wyvern Lords, which soon withdrew due to the dangers that the constant barrage of fireworks posed. With their wyverns disabled, the Parpaldians had no choice but to rely on their ship of the lines to deliver the punitive strike.

Again for the Parpaldians, fate had other plans as they were lured by Fennese ships into a trap that saw their warships encircled and bombarded by the Fennese fleet near the coast of Fenn. Much to the Parpaldian's dismay, the Fennese had employed a strategy similar to Admiral Yi Sun-Sin's Crane Wing strategy. Although Parpaldia could prevail in the ensuing naval battle due to their superior warships, Admiral Poquetoire had decided to withdraw, fearing of unecessary damages to his fleet. This decision would be a cause for embarassment for the Parpaldian Empire as they were unable to deliver a punitive strike, which led to the sacking of the mentioned Parpaldian admiral.

### Naval Battle of Altaras

Parpaldia's invasion of Altaras started with an unreasonable demand sent to King Taaras the 14th that required his nation to give up Altaras' most profitable magic gem mine and the nation's Princess Lumiess. Seeing this as an insult, the Altarans quickly rejected the demands which was according to Parpaldia's plans. With a justification of war, the Parpaldians would send a force to conquer the Kingdom of Altaras. Meanwhile, Altaras sought the help of nearby countries which all refused with the exception of Indonesia and Sios. The Altarans knew that their Royal Navy would be able to match the Parpaldians in the sea, but were unsure of the air battle that would commence alongside the new ironclads that Parpaldia had begun using.

The battle started as the Altaran and Parpaldian fleets approached each other, but breaking from the line of battle naval tactic that is often used in the 3rd Civilization Area, Altaras decided to split their force into two columns that aimed to break the Parpaldian line into 3 pieces. As the ships approached ever closer, the aerial battle commenced as both sides tried to battle for air supremacy. Although the disciplined Altaran wyvern knights tried their best, they would find themselves slowly losing in the air due to the superiority of the Wyvern Lords.

Below, the naval battle commenced as the Parpaldian fleet opened fire at the incoming Altaran fleet. The Altaran ship of the lines braced the barrage of cannonfire as they slowly made their way towards the Parpaldian fleet. The Altarans would finally open fire after one of their columns finally broke through Parpaldia's line, which would later be followed by their 2nd column. At last, the Parpaldian line formation had been broken into 3 and all chaos broke lose.

As the battle dragged on, the Parpaldians would find themselves on the backfoot which led to them ordering an unorganized all out attack on the Altaran fleet. Additionally, the Parpaldians would achieve aerial supremacy which led to the Wyvern Lords attacking the Altaran ships below. Unfortunately, the Parpaldian fleet would suffer an amount damage that forced them to surrender, thus leading to Altaras' victory. During this battle, the Altarans managed to sink a couple of Parpaldian ironclads and even capture some as well with the help of Indonesian weaponry.

## Indonesian Involvement

After the embarassing defeats in Fenn, Parpaldia scrambled to find ways to respond to these unexpected results. One of which led them to find out Rodenius and Indonesia's involvement in the Naval Battle of Altaras. As a result, they would begin drawing up plans to prevent such a catastrophe from occuring and one of which was a complete conquest of Rodenius, something the empire had planned to do prior to Louria's defeat.

### Formation of the Eastern Coalition

Meanwhile, the Great Eastern Countries Conference were held between 12 nations in Rodenius and some that were located in Philades. The conference discussed the Republic of Indonesia and Parpaldia's recent aggresive actions. Most of the countries attending the conference held favorable views towards Parpaldia with the exception of Mao, which saw their technological prowess as threatening. All states did agree that Parpaldia's aggressive actions were to be condemned and with this, the 11 member strong Eastern Coalition would be formed to oppose Parpaldian aggression, although the treaty did not require member states to directly fight against Parpaldia and only required them to support the efforts of containing them.

### Indonesia's Entrance

Aiming to prevent further aid from flowing into Altaras, Parpaldia demanded that Qua-Toyne ceased aiding the empire's naval rival. Qua-Toyne, emboldened by Indonesia's swift victory against Altaras, rejected this, which led to the formal declaration of war by the Parpaldian Empire towards the Principality of Qua-Toyne. Of course, this would end up with Indonesia being forced to fight another war yet again but unlike the previous war, Indonesia was much more prepared due to the existence of a military base near Ejei.

As a result, the Indonesians swiftly kicked the Parpaldians out the continent by liberating Louria, which shocked the Parpaldians and doomed any plans for a favorable deal in the negotiating table. Parpaldia's action would essentially cause the war to spread to Rodenius and thus renaming the conflict to the Parpaldian-Coalition War.

### Battle of Sios

Understanding the need to manage the worsening situation of the war, Parpaldia began planning to invade Sios as the island would act as a base to launch further attacks into Altaras alongside providing an outpost to keep the coalition forces away from Esthirant and the Empire's southern coasts. To increase the chances of success, the Parpaldians opted for a night attack to confuse and achieve the element of surprise.

Unfortunately, as the Parpaldian fleet approached, they were spotted by the KRI Sudirman, an Indonesian FREMM frigate that happened to be patrolling the area at the same time. The Sudirman quickly gave chase and contacted the nearby KRI Nasution to support in the attack while the Parpaldians were unaware of all of this.

The Battle began as the city of Shios was bombarded by Parpaldian warships, which would be interrupted by the shells of the two Indonesian ships. The appearance of the Indonesians shocked the Parpaldian Admiral, Turnip, who assumed that the two ships belonged to the United Kingdom of Mu. Faced with the reality of defeat, Turnip ordered the fleet to withdraw or surrender after seeing no chance of victory.

Ludius, hearing of this failed invasion, quickly fired 2 of his officials that had suggested the attack on Sios. From now on, the military affairs of the Parpaldian Empire is under the hands of the Emperor himself. Understanding the situation that his navy is now in, Ludius implemented a plan similar to the "fleet in being" strategy.

### Second Battle of Fenn

With a new commitment to colonize Fenn, the Parpaldians sent out a much stronger force to defeat the Fennese Kingdom. While never shown, the Parpaldians manage to land in Fenn with their army, which means that they had finally defeated the Fennese navy. As a result, the city of Amanoki had to face a siege that soon saw it captured by the Parpaldians, which immediately led to Fenn's subsequent defeat. With Fenn finally under Parpaldian control, the empire would dispatch a Fennese native loyal to the Parpaldians as its governor. After which, Shihan, the now imprisoned ruler of Fenn would be awaiting his execution.

### Liberation of Fenn

The Liberation of Fenn began when Indonesian Dassault Rafales began to bombard areas with Parpaldian presence, which coincided with Shihan's supposed execution. As the Fennese ruler fled, the Indonesians began to land in the southern coasts of the island and secured a nearby Parpaldian base while waiting for further reinforcements. Bertran, the commander of the Parpaldian forces in Fenn, quickly went to respond to this landing by meeting up with his other troops in Nishinomiyako to strike the Indonesians. As the Parpaldians marched through the Fennese lands, they were then annihilated by Indonesian troops, which had set up an ambush for them. With the Parpaldian occupying force gone, Indonesia quickly liberated the small island nation.

### Esthirant Airstrike

With the Parpaldians pushed back to their mainland, the Indonesians could now proceed with destroying Parpaldia's military and industrial assets in its southern coasts. The airstrikes began as Indonesian F-15EX Eagle II took off from the airbase in Sios and began a bombardment of the Parpaldian capital. As the airstrike ensued, industrial and military targets were destroyed, while residential areas were spared. Additionally, Parpaldia would lose a good chunk of its military stationed in Esthirant.

### Naval Battle of Esthirant

Otherwise known as the Battle of the Altaran Channel (not to be confused with the earlier Naval Battle of Altaras), this battle involved 4 Parpaldian fleets, numbering 132 in total, against 5 Indonesian frigates. Although much smaller than the 600 strong Lourian fleet that the Indonesians had to face, the Parpaldian fleet consisted of ship of the lines, ironclads, and even the empire's most advanced wyvern carrier, which is capable of launching Wyvern Overlords. Understanding that they only have a limited amount of missiles, the Indonesians opted to rely heavily on their cannons, which while small in caliber, is still devastating against the Parpaldian warships.

The battle started as the Parpaldian wyverns, which were sent to attack the Indonesian fleet, were shot down by the Indonesian frigates. After that, the Indonesians fired 10 missiles towards the Parpaldians, who were confused of their strike force's demise. The missiles all made its mark and hit 10 ships, but the Parpaldians continued to head straight towards the Indonesian fleet by increasing their speed.

The Indonesians, disappointed at Parpaldia's commitment to fight, began firing their cannons, which quickly began whittling down the Parpaldian fleet. The Parpaldians attempted to retaliate by sending their remaining wyverns, which were unfortunately shot down. Understanding the reality of the battle, the Parpaldians retreated, to which the Indonesians stopped firing after they had reduced the 1st two Parpaldian fleets from 64 to 11 ships. Later on, the same Indonesian fleet went to intercept the 2nd two enemy fleets that numbered at 68 ships with the help of Indonesian F-16 Fighting Falcons.

### Rebellions & Increasing Tensions

After witnessing multiple Parpaldian defeats, the nations around Parpaldia, which were once often the targets of its aggression, became bolder and decided to take advantage of the situation. The countries that were on Parpaldia's northern border began to establish military bases near the border, an action that Parpaldia protested against. Colonies that are under Parpaldian control also began to rebel, one example being Kooze which proclaimed its independence after pushing the Parpaldians out of its former capital. These developments were also intentionally being made by the Eastern Coalition, specifically Indonesia, in an effort to convince Parpaldia to negotiate peace or at least prevent any needless Indonesian casualties.

### Start of a Coup

Suffering from multiple defeats due to a lack of coordination between technological development, training, and doctrine, a number of high ranking Parpaldian officials began to believe that Parpaldia must end the war soon, especially after Emperor Ludius was reported becoming disillusioned by the prospects of victory. This began with the Esthirant Airstrike, which proved that the Parpaldian core territories were no longer safe from the effects of war, followed by Remille approaching Ludius regarding the issue of Parpaldian defeat. This of course was denied by Ludius, believing that Parpaldia will still win with the help of a number of their newly developed weapons.

Shortly after Remille left, she was approached by Kaios who overheard her conversation with Ludius. Kaios would offer Remille a chance to join a movement to overthrow Ludius and bring an end to the war. Remille would later accept it and join a meeting in Duke Vesuvius' residence with a number of other like-minded officials. In that meeting, almost everyone in the room agreed that Remille should become Ludius' successor due to the fact that she is of royal blood and there were no other possible legitimate options. Remille, initially reluctant, would be persuaded after Duke Vesuvius convinced her that she may be a good fit for the job.

A few days after the meeting, the city of Duro was attacked by Indonesian fighters in an airstrike that resembled that of Esthirant's. During the airstrike, one of Parpaldia's newest ironclad, which was a part of Project Sea Fortress, was sunk. The ironclad, which was named Borealis, had sister ships that would meet the same fate in the days that followed. The news of this airstrike then spread quickly, which caused Emperor Ludius to remain oddly quiet and the declaration of war by a number of countries that bordered Parpaldia to the north.

After that declaration of war, those nations combined their armies began to march into Parpaldian territory. They soon met the Parpaldian Imperial Army near the city of Aruni and engaged in a battle. Unfortunately for the Coalition, the Parpaldian army, which was far more powerful and organized quickly got the upper hand despite being smaller in numbers. This was due to the fact that Parpaldia's army was still in a much better shape unlike the other branches of the military and the introduction of machine guns to its ranks. After the battle, the Parpaldian army did not chase the retreating Coalition troops and instead sent a detachment to Esthirant under the orders of General Arde.

Sometime later, Remille reached out to the Indonesians for support. After some discussions, the Indonesians agreed to send a detachment of a few dozen soldiers and a few military vehicles. When the coup began, Remille's forces met up with the Indonesian detachment in Axel, a nearby town located northeast of Esthirant. Ludius also caught wind of the coup and ordered his forces to supress the coup. But before he could do that, the coup managed to take control of Joint-Base Esthirant and a number of government buildings in the capital. Remille's forces also approached the castle and a stand-off soon ensued. In order to complete the coup, Remille demanded to talk with Ludius. Ludius agrees to this in the condition that he would be accompanied by guards. In response, Remille agreed but also brought her own guards, including two Indonesian soldiers.

### Duke Vesuvius' Betrayal

The two royalties met in the castle's Eastern Garden. There, Remille demanded Ludius to step down but a heated argument soon followed. Eventually, Ludius acknowledged Remille and agreed to step down but the two were interrupted by Duke Vesuvius. The duke revealed his intention of killing the two royals in order to take control of the country, citing the government's reckless policies and national development plan as the reason why. He also brought out how the empire failed to protect its domestic industries by constantly attracting investments, equipment, and development from foreign countries. He also brought out a Wyvern Overlord that shocked and surprised everyone in the area.

The duke unintentionally revealed himself to be the culprit behind the Tragedy of 1635, where all members of the Imperial Family except Ludius and Remille were assassinated. It turns out that he had used his enormous wealth and power to cover-up the whole situation and shift its blame elsewhere. Enraged, Ludius ordered his guards to kill Vesuvius but his Wyvern Overlord proved to be too much for them to handle. The Indonesian soldiers also had trouble taking it down as their bullets could not penetrate the wyvern's scales. However, the Indonesians managed to buy some time as Remille, Ludius, and their guards began to run away towards the main gate.

Vesuvius soon caught up and called upon two more Wyvern Overlords, surrounding the two royals and their guards. Before anything could happen, an Indonesian AMX-13 and Marder 1A3 arrived just in time and easily took care of the three wyverns. Duke Vesuvius ended up being killed after getting hit from the Marder's 20mm autocannon. At the end of the day, the coup managed to force Ludius to abdicate and put Remille on the throne.

### Parpaldia's Surrender

The day after the coup, five Parpaldian delegates signs an armistice in the Indonesian Embassy in Gahara. The armistice would take effect 15 hours after it is signed. Some of the contents of the armistice is as follows:

* Termination of hostilities in all fronts on land, air, and sea, within 15 hours of signature.
* Withdrawal from Riem, Rendia, and Ambros within 10 days.
* No removal or destruction of civilian or public property in evacuated areas. This includes roads, railways, dams, bridges, and other structures necessary for agriculture and industry.
* No destruction of military equipment in evacuated territories and in the Parpaldian Empire.
* Immediate release of all prisoners of war and interned civilians held by both sides of the war. They shall be given immediate transport back to their respective homelands.

At dawn of June 10th, the Parpaldian-Coalition War officially ends with a Parpaldian surrender.

## Aftermath

The war had brought great destruction for the Parpaldian Empire, destroying much of its navy, industry, and industrial cities. The empire also lost its prestige and status a Great Power, which meant a great shame to the once mighty Philadesian state. Emperor Ludius also abdicated in favor of Empress Remille after a coup d'etat. On the other hand, a few countries had suffered the effects of the war, most notably Fenn as it had been conquered for a brief amount of time. Besides Parpaldia, the effects of the war had been kept to a minimum and Indonesia managed to avoid the worst case scenario: an all-out invasion of Parpaldia.

The post-war political scene of the region has yet to be decided as a treaty must be negotiated between the members of the coalition.

## Reactions

### Parpaldia & Surrounding Countries

The Parpaldian public was initially led to believe that the war would be the same as always and that it wouldn't reach the core territories of the empire. This perception is understandable considering the nation's huge lead in military power compared to its neighbors. Although Altaras could challenge the Parpaldians on the sea, everyone knew that Altaras simply was not powerful enough to win a war by its own. However, with the Esthirant Airstrike, the peace that the Parpaldian citizens were enjoying was shattered as they realized that this war is going much differently than usual.

Meanwhile, the war was initially treated by surrounding countries as Parpaldia's usual imperialist actions and that Altaras and Fenn would fall in a matter of time. But with the disastrous defeats in Altaras, Fenn, Rodenius, and Sios, the nations of the 3rd Civilization Area began to see Parpaldia as an empire nearing its end. One of the countries that appreciated these news is the neighboring Kingdom of Riem, which had been subject to Parpaldian aggression throughout its history.

The Republic of Indonesia saw Parpaldia's conquests in Fenn and Altaras to be concerning and as a result, the Indonesians attempted to have both Altaras and Parpaldia reach a peace deal through some negotiations. After everything had broke down, Indonesia was then forced into the conflict due to Parpaldia's declaration of war on Qua-Toyne.

### Other Countries

The United Kingdom of Mu initially ignored the conflicts between Parpaldia and Altaras, treating it as another faraway conflict of a much weaker power. However, with the entrance of the Indonesians and the performance of its military, Mu saw more importance in achieving friendly relations with the Republic. Additionally, Mu also cut off support to the Parpaldians in favor of Indonesia.

The Holy Mirishial Empire began to take notice of the situation in the 3rd Civilization Area after Parpaldia's repeated defeats. Having known some information on Indonesia after its performance against Nosgorath, Mirishial did the same thing as Mu and cut off all support to Parpaldia. From now on, the two superpowers would begin a struggle to bring Indonesia to its side as an ally or at least, a friendly nation. All of this would lead to the proposal of removing Parpaldia's Great Power status in the 1640 World Leadership Conference and giving it to Indonesia, something the Parpaldian diplomats protested.

After the war, the Holy Mirishial Empire sent a delegation to establish diplomatic relations with Indonesia.
