Kek-Pakistani War

### Background

The Kek-Pakistani war was a 5-day conflict between the Kekstantinople Republic and the Pakistani Caliphate, with a last-minute intervention from the New Styrian Republic occurring later on. In early June 2090, a diplomatic incident occurred between the Kekistani and Pakistani governments wherein the Pakistani's were attempting to beg the Kekistani's to give them their entire airforce to destroy the New Styrians with, which was refused. Following this, the Pakistani's revealed they were in $3 Trillion worth of debt to the Merchants Guild and planned to pay them off with the wealth of New Styria. The Kek's offered as an alternative to instead have them submit to the Kek's and they would manage their debt for them. Insulted, the Pakistani government retaliated by launching a missile towards the city of Kekstantinople. However, the missile was incredibly shit, running on coal power and controlled by midgets, and was going to take 4 hours to reach the city. This missile was promptly shot down by the Kek's, who now saw themselves justified in conducting defensive retaliation and thus began planning for an invasion of Pakistan.

### The Plan

With the decision made to invade Pakistan, the Kekistani High Command began planning for an ambitious operation. The plan primarily consisted of multiple mechanised spearheads that would conduct deep assaults into the Pakistani heartland. The initial opening attack would be centred around a massive barrage conducted by the Kekistani air force to eliminate key military and government installations. After this a paradrop would occur wherein paratroopers would secure bridgeheads to allow for a swift assault towards the capital. This would be followed with separate assault groups tasked with cutting the country in half and overrunning the northern territories of the nation. With the plan decided, the date for the invasion was set for June 10th 2090.

### Day 1

In the early morning hours of June 10th, Operation Warhammer was launched. The opening barrage was detected by the Pakistani's, but they were powerless to stop the coming onslaught. Within minutes the missiles hit their targets with deadly precision. Despite this, the president survived and subsequently declared jihad against the Republic, commencing mass mobilisation of the entire civilian population. A couple hours after, the invasion began in earnest with the paradrop of 2 airborne brigades on the eastern bank of the Fortnite River. Their landing was met uncontested, and they began spreading out to secure their designated bridgeheads. Not long after this, the main assault groups began their advances into the nation, encountering major resistance in and around urban centres. The Kek command made the decision to bypass major urban centres that resisted heavily and prioritised linking up with the paratroopers across the river. By midday the paratroopers had linked up with advancing tank forces but could not advance towards the capital due to mass militia's establishing defences to counter the imminent advance. Overall, the first day yielded acceptable results for the advancing Keks.

### Day 2

With the dawn of the second day came further advances by the Kekistani troops. Taskforce Thunder particularly made major advances towards their objective of cutting the country in two, however they would be hampered by unexpected Pakistani counterattacks on their flanks. Throughout the day, at least 2 counterattacks occurred, which were routed by a swift response by armoured recon units, however this caused the advance to stall for the rest of the day. Meanwhile the main advance in the south was bogged down by fierce Pakistani resistance, with human wave assaults being conducted against Kek positions, causing major casualties for the Pakistani militia. As a result, the southern flank was completely static. However, by the end of the day the Pakistani salient present on the West bank of the Fortnite river was destroyed, leaving everything west of the river under Kek control.

### Day 3

On the third day of the invasion, Taskforce Thunder reached the border with the Punjabi nation, severing the Pakistani nation in twine. With this, the Taskforce began properly securing their flanks, successfully preventing a Pakistani attempt to breakthrough the newly created encirclement of the northern regions. Meanwhile in the north the defences began to collapse, with resistance melting away into the countryside, allowing for a rapid advance of forces. On the southern front, Taskforces Lightning and Devil finally began making progress towards the capital city of Multan. The advance was slow and methodical, with extensive use of airstrikes and chemical shelling to clear a path forward. This would be the single bloodiest day of the war, with millions being killed by the massive usage of VX Gas to clear a path to the capital. By the end of the day the advance was approaching the capital, the end of the war was perhaps in sight.

### Day 4

The 4th day began with an interesting proposal given by the New Styrians. Lalo Telvanni requested to deploy 10,000 of his newest combat robots to assist in destroying a mutually hated enemy. This proposal was accepted by the government, and by the end of the day these robots would begin arriving to the southern flank of the invasion. Meanwhile, the northern resistance completely collapsed, allowing for Taskforce Aquila to seize nearly all of the northern territory. With this collapse of resistance, Taskforce Thunder blitzed for the northern flank of the capital city of Multan, coming to assist the southern forces in seizing the final objective of the campaign. Simultaneously, the southern forces reached the western outskirts of the city, successfully surrounding the entire city by the end of the day. Finally, the end of the war was beginning to seem in sight.

### Day 5

The final day of the war opened with the final major assault upon the city. The vanguard of this attack was the New Styrian combat robots, charging into the suburbs and slums of the city, destroying all combatants that opposed them. This vanguard action costed the robots dearly, with over 50% of the robots being destroyed by this grand assault. Coming up behind this force was the organic troops of the Kekistani's, clearing out positions that the robots had missed. By the early evening, the last position in the city that had not been taken was the massive presidential palace in the centre of the city. After refusing to surrender, the palace was bombarded by a company of tanks, but suddenly out of the rubble of the palace a massive spider-shaped mecha suit arose, one that suspiciously looked like the type used by Senator Strongarm. Piloted by the Pakistani President, he gave a villainous monologue about Kekistani aggression, but was cut short by a dozen bunker buster bombs completely destroying the mech, alongside killing the President inside. With this momentous victory, only 2 minor strongholds remained, one of which was gassed out of existence, and the other being bombed into the ground, with escaping generals being drone striked when they made a run for it. Finally, the war was over.

### Aftermath

With the conflict over, the Pakistani Caliphate ceased to exist, in its place the Transitional Occupational Authority of Pakistan was established as the replacement government for the region. Due to the intense but short fighting, major damage only occurred in the southern regions of Pakistan, with the northern regions remaining relatively intact. Despite this, 15% of the population perished, causing a major demographic crisis for the nation. Compounding this, the nation still remaining in debt with the Merchants Guild, a problem that would require addressing in their immediate future. Overall, it was clear that the future of Pakistan remained uncertain, but alas when one hits rock bottom, the only way forward is up...
