## Chronology

### New World War Arc

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. Imperial Army Executive Murnow spoke the explanation to Imperial Air Corps Commander Macina, Super Heavy Bombing Unit Commander Arley Tolliger and 44th Task Force Commander Zem about the attack plan on Japan. He 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 plans for Riem military officials in that the 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 Gra Valkas and Riem military officials 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.

After the 44th Task Force and Super Heavy Bombing Regiment were destroyed last night, Munrow, dispatched from the Imperial Army Headquarters of Gra Valkas, could not hide his frustration with the radar anomalies and radio anomalies that had occurred last night since the start of the operation. There was a possibility of radar jamming by the enemy, but it was worrisome that the same phenomenon occurred last night. The 44th Task Force, which had a radio blockade, was found and could even have been attacked. However, Murnow raised anxiety if the operation would fail without contact them.

When the rader operator restarted the rader, Murnow looked into the radar screen. The light spot was reflected in the airspace that should not exist and nothing was reflected in the airspace where the Super Heavy Bombing Regiment was supposed to be. The radar screen appeared blank for a moment and then immediately turned white. He ordered to ready for anit-aircraft combat and prepare the interceptor for takeoff. He trembled and muttered that he thought the operation failed. Fifteen JASDF F-2 fighters were about to reach operational airspace and dropped guided bomb LJ-DAM at the Gra Valkas imperal air base. JMSDF BP-3C also dropped the unguided bombs on the Royal Castle of the Riem Kingdom and Hilkiga base.

As the Hilkiga base was demolished, Munrow and some survivors escaped to the bomb shelter to save their lives. Despite being utterly enraged with JSDF attack, Munrow sulked and admitted that the Gra Valkas had lost the war and tried to get back to Gra Valkas territory to inform their military of the destruction of the base and the entire fleet of bombers and air corps.
