Middle Empire - Ginebra War

### Sides

Middle Empire & The Sakura Pact Vs Ginebra, N.S.T.C, The Stable, Bad Boys Club, 501st Legion

### Place(s)

East Asia, Europe

The conflict between Middle Empire, The Sakura Pact and Ginebra would start far earlier in the history of cities war. After the death of Hispania at the hands of The Sakura Pact, Europe was opened for other alliances to enter, and during this time, Sakura player DIYSlinky took the opportunity to claim much of the Southern European top cities as his own. These cities would be Lisbon, Lyon, Turin, Milan, Naples, and Palermo. With the return of Sirbobo and the creation of Leon, along with ten man tournaments being recently introduced, DIYSlinky lost his western top cities to Leon and shifted more to Central Europe, taking Warsaw and Budapest. After the death of V, DIYSlinky also took the top cities of Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Frankfurt. blah blah blah will explain this stuff later too lazy. However, during one of the top ten tournaments, DIYSlinky had left his top cities open for people to touch, Ginebra players had taken them. Ginebra was asked to leave, which they agreed to, but never intending to leave in the first place. The final straw came when Ginebra high ranking member AlbertRivera attacked DIYSlinky and ordered CMShritan to hold Copenhagen. With this open attack on Middle Empire, DIYSlinky retaliated and attacked Brussels and Copenhagen. This would lead to Ginebra planning against Middle Empire and Sakura.

## Combat

### Fall Of Middle Empire

After the skirmishes in Europe, Ginebra had their eyes set on the East Asian alliance of Middle Empire, and they were not the only ones who were interested in revenge.

#### Attack on Middle Empire

Day is February 13th, time is 10 minutes to noon. a large coalition of 4 alliances have their armies stationed all around China and Middle Empire cities, ready to strike their targets. The first city to fall is the Middle Empire border city of Jakarta, held by their leader DIYSlinky. RyderKSA was the one to capture the border city, vowing revenge against Middle Empires aggression against The Stable. Shortly after the border falls, other major cities start getting attacked, and the capital city of Middle Empire, Ganzhou, falls to Ginebra. Within less than an hour, most of Middle Empires cities have fallen. The coalitions surprise attack was a success, with no one from Middle Empire being online to resist during the attack.

#### Second Strike

On February 15th, 2022, Middle Empire put up borders once more after Ginebras attack on them. however, it would soon be taken down again, this time with 501st assistance.

### Final Clash

With all of tension building up for past weeks, the two spheres of influence were bound for a monumental clash. This would occur on the fateful day of February 23rd, 2022, when Eurasia erupted into intense battle that would end as quickly as it started.

#### Middle Empire probing attacks

On the early morning of February 23rd, 2022, Middle Empire leader DIYSlinky launched probing attacks at exposed Ginebran top cities outside their borders to great effect. Soon Ginebra was notified and came online to take back the top cities occupied by DIYSlinky. At this time, DIYSlinky was patiently waiting for the moment to strike, and achieved a 4 second trap on Paquito franco in the city of Frankfurt am Main, killing a decent amount. These actions would likely trigger Ginebra to launch their invasion of the Sakuran homelands later that day.

#### Invasion of Sakura

On the evening of February 23rd, 2022, Ginebra launched their offensive into Sakura territory. Their first target was the border city of Inchon, which was succesfully taken down by ReedyTurnip leading to Sakura territory falling. with this, began Ginebras mass assault across Japan in which most Sakura cities were attacked. NSTC was also a participant, as ComradeRaul took the city of Shanghai.

#### Invasion of Ginebra

Sakura member IJN Kaga enraged, logged in to see that Sakura had gotten attacked, didnt want to wait for a counterattack to be planned, and decided to jump to Europe and take revenge by themselves. However, before Kaga launched any attacks, goodnames also got on and notified DIYSlinky about the situation. DIYSlinky told them to wait for a bit as he would be joining in helping Kagas offensive, and messaged everyone else from Middle Empire to get online. Bratislava was selected as the target border city for taking down Ginebra borders due to having no country. The border city was taken down succesfully with the first two armies being killed by DIYSlinky and the third by Tophatbc.

#### Last Strikes

goodnames679 had taken the Italian top cities of Milan, Rome and Naples, placing defense inside to hinder Ginebras ability to set territory back up. after the unsucessful attack by dlcsdo on Milan, Javi got on to clear the defense in the cities.

## Aftermath

### Effect on Asia

As both Middle Empire and The Sakura Pact had sustained massive losses in defense, along with decreased activity in Sakura, it was decided that the two alliances would once again merge for security purposes.

### Effect on Europe

After the attack on Ginebra, The Resistance saw the opportunity and set up in Europe for the first time since 2020.
