Has Wars

The **Has Wars** were a series of interconnected wars fought between Bovido Has, the Fox Dynasty, the Emirate of Persia and Obadiah Has from April 1, 2020 until July 27, 2022. The wars marked a shift in the international political balance and saw the complete collapse of Bovido Has, resulting in the emergence and eventual destruction of numerous Bovido remnants; likewise, the Libirachi Empire underwent a massive political and societal change by the end of the war, following the assassination of Empress Laura Fox, which would eventually result in the Libirachi Civil War erupting in the middle of the Has Wars. The wars also coincided with the hunt for the Hǔnluàn, with the Libirachi terrorist group being responsible for many of the events of the conflict, including the initial assassination of Bovido Hassian Archbishop Hazael Buller; however, following the Battle for Persia, the group largely went into hiding after the apparent death of it's leader.

Lasting for over 2 years, the Has Wars were marked by short premierships and even shorter lived self-proclaimed nations, destabilising Asia for the next two decades and causing an abrupt end to the Bovido Hassian empire, leaving the Libirachi Empire as the sole remaining superpower in the region, whilst the wars also marked the point where the United States of America began to abdicate it's commitments on the world stage and began a gradual return to isolationism. Likewise, the flailing remnants of British international diplomacy began to come undone as Prime Minister David Cameron was successfully ousted by Matilda Crow, with British loyalties on the global stage becoming increasingly split between the nation's western allies and the Libirachi Empire, who exerted massive influence over the UK during the premiership of Prime Minister Matilda Crow.

In the middle east, the fledgling Persian Republic was massively destabilised by the Hǔnluàn during the wars and ultimately the terror group occupied much of the nation during the first year of the conflict, with Ashton Morre installing himself as the republic's leader with the backing of the Libirachi COMPNOR group, acting behind the backs of the Beijing regime. After the end of an invasion of the terrorist stronghold, the Libirachi Empire was able to topple the regime of Ashton Morre and largely forced his group into hiding, but unwittingly installed Almac Docu as the nation's new leader, with Docu orchestrating the death of Empress Laura Fox in May 2022.

Bovido Has suffered significantly during the war, losing three *de-facto* leaders within the space of 18 months before fracturing into remnant nations and factions; subsequently, many of these remnants were unable to stand up to the military might of the Libirachi Empire, who invaded and occupied several factions such as the Tokyo Bovido, Bovido Line and Obadiah Has. Other states were able to survive the Libirachi invasions, such as Russia Has which proclaimed it's independence in the August of 2021 and became the Russian Federation in January 2022; those that remained after the conflict quickly became involved in the Contingency, as Cardinal Anton Ujung collected the leftovers of the once mighty empire into a rump state based in Jerusalem.

## Prelude

### Assassination of Hazael Buller

At 13:34 PM on 29th March 2020, Archbishop Hazael Buller the Rightful and the Libirachi Ambassador to Makassar were both killed by an explosion in the armed one-off Toyota Century Royal car which the Archbishop and Emperor designated for official state duties. Archbishop Buller and Bail Ordain were on their way to the N20 conference on international relations (held between the nations of Asia, Oceania, Eastern Europe and Northern Africa), when the bomb detonated as the car pulled up outside the Makassar Government Building, killing the pair, 7 security guards, the driver and bodyguard in the car, and 17 members of the global press who were filming the car as it detonated. The talks were immediately cancelled, while the Bovido Has official investigation found that the car had traces of a Libirachi TC-5555 explosive, implicating the Libirachi Imperial Army in the assassination. Enraged by the suggestion, Xi Jimping (President of the Libirachi Empire) demanded that Bovido Has released the "true" findings of the investigation, declaring it preposterous that the Libirachi Empire would assassinate the Head of State of its closest ally. Attempts to fix the issue by independent peacekeepers were rebuffed, and the newly appointed Emperor Damal Clod began publicly accusing the Empire of an unprovoked assault on the Bovido. As such, Xi Jimping resorted to his last option; the Libirachi Empire declared war on Bovido Has at 09:30 AM (local time) on the 1st April 2020, and Bovido Has responded at 10:10 AM (local time) the same day.

### Fall of the Persian Republic

At the same time as the assassination crisis, Persian Republic began to find itself the target of assaults from the Hǔnluàn, who had begun stirring up the local populace against the President and his government and destroying resources essential to the upkeep of the Persian Army. Although the Eastern Campaign had begun to wrap up in early April 2020, the Persian Republic was battered from all sides and its government was growing weaker by the day. On the 2nd of April, just a day after Bovido Has and the Libirachi Empire had declared war on each other, the Hǔnluàn invaded Persia using its hoards of civilian supporters to cripple the Army and by the 4th, the Government officialy surrendered, unable to rule after the defection of the army to the terrorist cause. On the 5th of April, Ashton Morre, the terrorist leader, was inaugurated as the new Persian President and committed Persia to the Has Wars in an attempt to enact revenge upon the Libirachi Empire, and seize land from the flailing Bovido Has.

### Fall of Bovido

Following the Assassination of Archbishop Hazael Buller the Rightful in March 2020 at the hands of the Hǔnluàn terrorist group, Bovido Has was placed into disarray, as the Archbishop had left no succession protocols in place. Eager to seize power, the de-facto head of the Bovido Hasian armed forces, Justus Obadiah, quickly organised his military forces and took power in the Philipino Has and the Indonese Has and reformed their governments into the Empire of the Lord's Has, commonly known as Obadiah Has for the man who founded it. With the start of the Has Wars in April 2020, Obadiah Has was soon drawn into the fray as Bovido Has, lead by Damal Clod attempted to recapture their former territory, both in the Middle East and in Asia. Struggling to fight with a minimal army, the Bovido Has forces quickly abandoned the Pacific Front and continued to fight for control of the Persian Republic and its northern Asia territory. As the war dragged on, Obadiah Has re-opened the Pacific Front and wrestled control of the Viet Has and the Burma Has from Bovido Has, and the Libirachi Empire respectively.

## Has Wars - Year One (2020)

### Obadiah Has Pacific Campaign

#### Battle for Burma Has

 Main article: Battle for Burma Has
With the Fall of Bovido after theAssassination of Hazael Buller, the mainland Burma Has provinces quickly fell into the hands of the superior Libirachi Imperial Army after barely a days worth of fighting, and was established as the Wartime Province of Imperial Myanmar, although a governor was not appointed to be the local head of government. However, by the 10th of April, Obadiah Has had already set its eyes upon expanding once more, and began an invasion at 8 AM (2:30 GMT), attacking the military installation at Thingangyi, using a flotilla of *YL-09* class and *LCU-2001* class landing ships, backed up by 2 *Takanami*-class and 4 Murasame-class destroyers, while a squad of The Lord's Nameless paratroopers made a landing at a local farm. The Libirachi deployment was overwhelmed by the enourmous numbers of soldiers, and the willingness in which Obadiah soldiers would lay down their lives for the mission, and quickly made a retreat to nearby Labutta at 4 PM (22:30 GMT) on the 11th, where they joined the Imperial Navy in an attempt to defend the peninsula. The Obadiah forces continued their assault, sending the destroyers up the Ywe river to destroy the Type 051B destroyer *Shenzhen* and its Jiangkai II class escort frigates *Linyi* and *Qūzhújiàn.* A short naval battle ensued, and the Obadiah Has forces were pushed back to Thingangyi, but they resumed their assault with a further assault on the Libirachi standing bay at 2 AM (8:30 GMT), in which they sunk the *Shenzhen* and the *Linyi,* although the *Qūzhújiàn* escaped to Pyin Ywa, where it was ambushed by the *Hatakaze*-class guided missile destroyer *Shimakaze* which had outflanked the *Qūzhújiàn* by going up the parallel Klone See Mann river, and around the confluence by Shwelaung. With the destruction of the only Libirachi Military forces in the coastal regions of Wartime Province of Imperial Myanmar, only theImperial Purge Trooper Battalion Falcons (PTD-003) could prevent the fall of the Province. As the Obadiah Has forces approached the city of Naypyitaw, the Imperial Army positioned 600 Type 96(A/B) battle tanks in a defensive perimeter around the local capital, along with 100 Purge Troopers and 6,000 First Legion soldiers, whilst thousands of Lord's Nameless commandos seized cities across the country. Within weeks, all the major cities below the Libirachi boarder had fallen to the Obadiah Has forces, and on the 20th May, the two forces collided at Naupyitaw, and as a result the Libirachi Empire was forced to retreat from the Province, and the Wartime local government officially surrendered to Obadiah Has on the 22nd May after further minor skirmishes both above and in the capital of Naypyidaw.

#### Fall of Viet Has

 Main article: Fall of Viet Has
With the Fall of Bovido after theAssassination of Hazael Buller, much of Asia fell into conflict between Bovido Has, the Libirachi Empire and Obadiah Has, which resulted in the Obadiah Has Pacific Campaign, which opened with the Battle for Burma Has. As the battle began to swing their way, Obadiah Has began preparing for an invasion of Viet Has, which launched on April 22 with a landing at Da Nang, in the Hải Châu District. Consisting of 20 *Ōsumi* class and 5 *LCU-2001* class landing ships, and a deployment of 6,000 men, 14 amphibious tanks and 5 helicopters for air support. The minimal Bovido forces (2 *Hayabusa* class patrol boats and a garrison of 200 men and 5 Nameless) were assaulted at the port of Bến Cá Thọ Quang, just off Da Nang Bay, where the navy was stationed, whilst the landing craft deployed at Nam Ô Beach, where they destroyed the beach emplacements and engaged the local garrison in a short battle on the beach, after which the entire garrison and 4 of the 5 Nameless were killed for 100 Obadiah Has soldiers. As the port town fell to Obadiah, the rival Has prepared another assault in a neighbouring provenance of Viet Has. On the 23rd April, a second task force consisting of 15 *Ōsumi* class and the 5 *LCU-2001* class landing ships from the invasion of Da Nang, as well as a contingent of 4,500 men and 2 helicopters for air support, made a landing at Cảnh Dương in Chan May Bay. The Battle for the Thua Thien Hue provenance once again was a short battle with limited (17) casualties compared to that of Bovido Has (104). At the same time that the Bovido forces fell in Thua Thien Hue, an invasion of Quảng Ngãi was underway. In a strategy of re-purposing soldiers from previous landings, Obadiah Has was able to seize the majority of northern Viet Has by April 30, and in a temporary alliance with the Libirachi Empire, the combined forces took the northernmost point of the Has, although the Libirachi Empire later betrayed Obadiah Has and took the north for themselves, as well as an attempt to make headway into the newly procured Obadiah terirtory on May 2nd, although Obadiah Has forced the Libirachi Imperial Army out on the 8th of May. At roughly the same time, another Obadiah deployment was seizing land across the neighbouring Central Has and the two forces met on the 28th of April at the Oudomxay Province in Central Has and together the combined task-force of 50,000 men pushed south together and reached Kien Giang on the 15th May, having marched through large swaths of Viet Has unopposed, using helicopters to deploy further south. The Bovido Has forces from the combined provinces met at the South Libirachi Sea coast and created a solid line of defence that was not broken during the Fall of Viet Has, although a later invasion from the sea would force the line into collapse.

#### Fall of Central Has

 Main article: Fall of Central Has
With the Battles for Burma Has and Viet Has turning in their favour, the Obadiah Has Pacific Campaign opened another front in Central Has on April 24, diverting forces away from Kayah State in Burma Has into neighbouring Mae Hong Son in Central Has. Launching with a task force comprised from the 3rd Obadiah Mainland Army(made up of 600,000 soldiers, 6,000 *Kawasaki C-1* transport aeroplanes, 5,000 *Pindad Badak* tanks, 2,050 *Chaiseri First Win* personnel carriers and 6,050 *Leopard 2* battle tanks), General Nathaniel Eli began an assault on the Bovido Hassian Central Has. The assault on Mae Hong Son was a swift victory for Eli, whilst the Bovido Has boarder guard platoon (consisting of 50 Bovido New Army soldiers and 2 *T-14 Armata* tanks on loan from the Libirachi Empire) was quickly destroyed by forces from the 3rd Obadiah Mainland Army. The field army marched largely unopposed across the northern parts of Central Has until the 26th of April when it arrived at the city of Luang Namtha where the Obadiah forces were halted by Torrent Company of the 4th Hassian Central Division (itself comprised of 8,000 New Army soldiers, 600 *Leopard 3* tanks, 600 *T-14 Armata* tanks and 400 *Mil Mi-35 Hind* attack helicopters; the latter two both on loan from the Libirachi Empire), made up of 500 Bovido New Army soldiers, 20 *T-14 Armata* tanks and a *Mil Mi-35 Hind* attack helicopter. The two forces collided within the city and after sustaining substantial casualties (400 soldiers, 2 *Pindad Badak* tanks and a *Leopard 2* battle tank), Obadiah Has forces crushed the Torrent Company and marched onward to Oudomxay Province, where the divisions which took Luang Namtha merged with the regiment seizing land across the neighbouring Viet Has on the 28th of April. Together the combined task-force of 50,000 men pushed south-east together whilst the rest of the Mainland Army pushed south-west. The Mainland Army continued to take land unopposed from local leaders desperate to escape Bovido control until May 1, when the Army was halted at Saraburi where the 4th Hassian Central Division had sprung a trap. Stranded without reinforcements in Saraburi, the Hassian Central Division began a desperate attempt to halt the attackers and launched the full force of its military (7,467 New Army soldiers, 600 *Leopard 3* tanks, 579 *T-14 Armata* tanks and 3998 *Mil Mi-35 Hind* attack helicopters) against the Obadiah forces (550,595 soldiers, 4,000 *Kawasaki C-1* transport aeroplanes, 3,000 *Pindad Badak* tanks, 2,050 *Chaiseri First Win* personnel carriers, 4 *T-14 Armata* tanks and 4,049 *Leopard 2* battle tanks). The ensuring battle lasted until May 12 and saw both sides encounter serious losses (6,583 Obadiah soldiers, 300 *Kawasaki C-1* transport aeroplanes, 94 *Pindad Badak* tanks, 50 *Chaiseri First Win* personnel carriers, 4 *T-14 Armata* tanks and 49 *Leopard 2* battle tanks compared to 7,068 Bovido Has New Army Soldiers, 60 *Leopard 3* tanks, 79 *T-14 Armata* tanks and 998 *Mil Mi-35 Hind* attack helicopters). As the 2nd Obadiah Mainland Army completed the conquest of Burma Has, the two field armies broke through Bovido lines and continued to push forward towards Kien Giang, which they reached on the 15th May and met with the combined task-force deployed to take Viet Has. The Bovido Has forces from the combined provinces met at the South Libirachi Sea coast and created a solid line of defence that was not broken during the Fall of Burma Has or Central Has, although a later invasion from the sea would force the line into collapse.

### Collapse of Bovido Has

#### Assassination of Omar Jude

 Main article: Assassination of Omar Jude

Following the defection of Lord's Grand Army into the nation of Obadiah Has on March 30, Bovido Has was left without a significant portion of the army needed to defend itself with. As such, former Marshal Omar Jude, descendant of Mattathias Jude, was tasked with re-building the remnants of the LGA into a new fighting army. Created on April 3, the Lord's Holy Army was an amalgamation of leftover forces and weaponry staffed and controlled largely by veterans and conscripts. With the May 26th defection of Nathaniel Eli and his 2nd Obadiah Mainland Army, the LHA started to re-establish itself as a serious fighting force and was placed under the command of Jude after the passing of Gabriel Stomas (the former leader) on May 28. With the re-emergence of Bovido Has as a serious combatant in the Has Wars, the Libirachi Empire began to seek an end to the LHA's effectiveness and ordered the assassination of Omar Jude on June 20th. At 12:31 PM (5:31 GMT) on June 24, Omar Jude was shot dead whilst onstage addressing soldiers at LHA Badung, 5 miles from the centre of Badung. The assassin was found later that day wearing LHA uniform, but with a Libirachi Imperial Army dog-tag identifying him as Sgt. Damian Flait, and Imperial Special Forces Commando supposedly working on the orders of Empress Laura Fox herself. The assassination further increased the turmoil of the Has Wars, and the aftermath lead the broken Bovido political system to attempt an invasion of the Libirachi capital of Beijing

#### Bovido Invasion of the Libirachi Empire

 Main article: Bovido Invasion of the Libirachi Empire
With the death of Omar Jude on June 24, the Emperor of Bovido Has sought vengeance upon the Fox Dynasty for ordering the death of the leader of their military and began collecting plans for an invasion of The Libirachi Empire. On July 4, the 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core, under the command of Nicholas Eli, launched a flotilla of ships consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Rightful,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 500,000 LHA soldiers. The fleet began its journey towards invasion at 12:30 (4:30 GMT) when they crossed into the South Libirachi Sea and immediately came into combat against the Imperial Naval Legion's 7th Fleet (consisting of the *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Loger, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn, Beijing Lord VI* and *Nanchang,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma* and several Escort Frigates), under the control of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The ensuing conflict at the Parcel Islands saw the destruction of 3 *Martadinata* class frigates, whilst only one Libirachi escort frigate was sunk. Acknowledging defeat, General Eli ordered Admiral Fui to begin a retreat around the Libirachi Seas and was swiftly followed by the 7th Fleet who perused Eli's forces relentlessly for the next 5 weeks as they made their way towards Japan Has.

##### Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea

 Main article: Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea
On July 4, the 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core, under the command of Nicholas Eli, launched a flotilla of ships consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Rightful,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 500,000 LHA soldiers. The fleet began its journey towards invasion at 12:30 (4:30 GMT) when they crossed into the South Libirachi Sea and immediately came into combat against the Imperial Naval Legion's 7th Fleet (consisting of the *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Loger, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn, Beijing Lord VI* and *Nanchang,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma* and several Escort Frigates), under the control of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The two forces collided on the shore of the Parcel Islands, a former Bovido territory (1895 - 2005) until it gained independence as an impartial peace keeping force in the Pacific. Under the watch of Rithnuro Thrawn, the Libirachi forces quickly began laying waste to Bovido ships, launching an almost continuous volley of shells towards the Bovido fleet, whilst employing Type 92 submarines to sink approaching reinforcements for the christian nation, forcing them into a retreat towards the city of Fukuoka in Japan Has, all the while Thrawn pursued them with his 7th Fleet.

Upon retreating from the Parcel Islands, the combined 14th HN Pacific Division and 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core forces began setting a route to the Bovido stronghold in Fukuoka after the 7th Naval Legion outflanked them, preventing a course back to the Bovido mainland and forcing them out into Libirachi controlled seas. While the main bulk of the Bovido force was held on the *Rightful,* lots of important supplies were lost with the sinking of 7 *Martadinata* frigates, meaning that the *Rightful* would soon run out of essentials like food and clean water. As such, Captain Solomon Fui permitted an emergency assault on the Libirachi flagship *New Dawn*, which saw an elite team of Nameless soldiers infiltrate the *Type 055* Destroyer via the supply ducts, and then attack the engine room. However, the forces were apprehended by Thrawn's personal Special Forces Commandos and were taken to the command deck, where the Libirachi Command was having a virtual meeting using the nation's state calling system. Upon the arrival of Thrawn and his prisoners, Fleet Admiral Kallus (who has his command located upon the aptly named *Kallus*) called the *Rightful* in an unusual manner, using Skype, to inform them of their failed plan and then the summary execution of the captured soldiers.

After the incident aboard the *New Dawn*, the Bovido forces were trapped without supplies and eventually began to experience waves of soldiers dying from the brutal conditions, whilst the Libirachi fleet bombarded the aircraft destroyer *Rightful* with the full force of the 7th Fleet. In a desperate humanitarian plea, Nathaniel Eli demanded that the Bovido Fleet be allowed to dock at Fukuoka to unload its dead and ill soldiers, before returning back to its base in the Makassar. This request was granted and on August 5, the *Rightful* and its fleet docked at HNL Fuku, escorted by the *Kallus* and *Loger.* As the unloading process was underway, the two Type 051B destroyers opened fire upon the escort frigates containing the injured and dead soldiers, sinking both and killing all onboard. With the loss of 5 more frigates, the fleet was at a terrible loss and was only saved by the deployment of the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet to aid Eli's bombarded forces. Under the command of Vice Admiral Koon, the Pacific fleet quickly pushed the Libirachi forces back into the East Libirachi Sea. This set the stage for a daring last minute assault on the Libirachi capital of Beijing in a desperate attempt to end the war.

##### Battle of Beijing

 Main article: Battle of Beijing (2020)
With the death of Omar Jude on June 24, the Emperor of Bovido Has sought vengeance upon the Libirachi Empire for ordering the death of the leader of their military and began collecting plans for an invasion of The Libirachi Empire. On July 4, the 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core, under the command of Nicholas Eli, launched a flotilla of ships consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Rightful,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 500,000 LHA soldiers. The fleet began its journey towards invasion at 12:30 (4:30 GMT) when they crossed into the South Libirachi Sea and immediately came into combat against the Imperial Naval Legion's 7th Fleet (consisting of the *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Loger, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn, Beijing Lord VI* and *Nanchang,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma* and several Escort Frigates), under the control of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The ensuing conflict at the Parcel Islands saw the destruction of 3 *Martadinata* class frigates, whilst only one Libirachi escort frigate was sunk. Acknowledging defeat, General Eli ordered Admiral Fui to begin a retreat around the Libirachi Seas and was swiftly followed by the 7th Fleet who perused Eli's forces relentlessly for the next 5 weeks as they made their way towards Japan Has. Upon arriving at Fukuoka, the Bovido fleet was bombarded by Thrawn's fleet, inflicting severe damage upon the *Rightful* and killing hundreds of soldiers who were infected by a disease making its way around the 14th Holy Navy Pacific Division.

Following the disastrous Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea, the 14th Bovido Holy Navy Pacific Division was left in a dire state, with its flagship *Rightful* having sustained severe damage from Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet, and a greatly diminished task force crew after a bout of illness on-board the fleet's major ships. Whilst docked in Fukuoka, General Nathaniel Eli transferred his command to the *Dormancy*, the sister ship of the Rightful, and begun compiling forces for the planned invasion of Libirachi. However, after being forced up towards Japan, the fleet was in no position to invade from the South Libirachi Sea, and instead plans were drawn up for a desperate attack on the Libirachi capital of Beijing, using the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Adamar Koon to reinforce Eli's fleet. The new 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet (consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Dormancy,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita,* the Type 42 destroyers *Witch Hunter, Heavenly,* *Rightful II* and *Glory* and the *Martadinata* class frigates *Samiel, Damal, Buller III, Ezra IV, Despair* and 20 unnamed frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 700,500 LHA soldiers) began prepping for invasion and launched on August 19 with a quick assault up the Yellow Sea, through to the Bohai Sea, where they once again encountered Grand Admiral Thrawn's 7th Fleet, although with the extra re-enforcements gained on the island of Fukuoka, the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet began a serious battle, forcing Thrawn to retreat towards Beijing as Nathaniel Eli pushed forwards with superior numbers and using a new form of D-16 torpedoes to sink several *Jiangkai II* class escort frigates and inflict structural damage upon the *Nanchang* and *Loger*.

With damage to Thrawn's fleet forcing a further retreat to Dongying, the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet began a landing at Tianjin where the local militia (10 *FV721 Fox* armored reconnaissance vehicles, 2 T-80 battle tanks and a garrison of 200 First Legion soldiers), lead by Xi Bojing, was subdued after a 6 day fight in the streets of Tianjin, with the Bovido forces only having taken 134 casualties, and began the march towards the outskirts of Beijing. Upon arrival in the city, the Bovido forces encountered fierce resistance from locals and the First Legion, who inflicted major casualties upon the invading forces through the usage of improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails, whilst the First Legion attempted to force the Bovido army back through the use of T-14 battle tanks. However, the Bovido forces pushed through, and by August 30, had full control over the eastern outskirts of Beijing, and in an unprecedented wartime effort, managed to capture President of the Libirachi Empire, Xi Jimping, in an assault on the Beijing International Sports Exchange Promotion Association facility in Fuyuanzhuang village, where the president was giving a commemorative speech, unaware that the Bovido forces had pushed that deep into Beijing. The lack of knowledge on the invasion was due to a Hǔnluàn infiltration in the Imperial Security Bureau, which allowed for all reports of an invasion to be deleted from Libriachi databases in an attempt to de-stablilize the Empire. With half-an-hour's intense fighting, the facility was overrun and the President was held captive by a team of Nameless forces. With renewed resolve, the First Legion began an increased repulsion of Bovido forces and, using local organized malitas and people's rebellions, managed to fight off the Bovido forces from the continent and back onboard their flotilla after 13 days worth of combat. Having been repelled from the Libirachi Empire, the Bovido forces attempted to flee the area on their ships, but the 7th Naval Legion fleet led by Grand Admiral Thrawn blocked them off and destroyed the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet at Beihuangcheng Island, and rescued the President from onboard the *Dormancy,* before it was sunk by the *President Zuma.* The remnants of the fleet attempted to flee, but were quickly mowed down by the *Type 055* Destroyer escort. Among the prisoners taken, Nathaniel Eli and Adamar Koon were the most high ranking, and were transferred to a secure prison in Imperial Iran.

#### Invasion of Belitung

 Main article: Invasion of Belitung
As Obadiah Has began to sweep away Bovido Has' mainland territory, the fractured political system of the Bovido also began its final collapse, triggered by the Assassination of Omar Jude, the leader of the Lord's Holy Army on June 24 by the Libirachi Empire. Keen to assert their dominance in the pacific, Bovido Has begun an all-out assault on Beijing with its newly rebuilt army and attempted to seize the Libirachi capital. However, after meeting fierce resistance for several weeks on the outskirts of Beijing, surviving Bovido forces retreated to the stronghold island of Heren which had been liberated from Obadiah forces after the Fall of Viet Has. Unbeknown to them, the Libirachi Imperial Army had begun preparing for an invasion of the Bovido capital island and launched its forces on September 24th, in a snide nod to the date Omar Jude was assassinated. The invasion fleet made quick work of the Bovido Holy Navy at Port Tuing, but the combined forces of the Holy Angels and Nameless halted the invasion 20 miles short of Kamass where the two armies participated in minor skirmishes until the Libirachi Army broke through the Bovido line on November 12th and begun the march towards Makassar.

##### Battle at Port Tuing

After the failed Bovido Invasion of the Libirachi Empire, the Imperial High Command and Libirachi Joint Chiefs demanded revenge upon Damal Clod and his regime and commissioned Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn and his 7th Fleet to begin an invasion of Belitung. Joining Thrawn was General Fang Torrent and his 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army, which boarded into 3 *Wasp* class AASs over the period September 20 - 24th, launching from Shanghai on the 24th and crossed into Bovido territory on September 26th after passing through Obadiah seas unnoticed. Using the cover of night, the 7th Fleet (comprising of *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn* and *Beijing Lord VI,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma, Regent of the Sea, Golliath* and the *Nǚwáng* class aircraft carrier *Supremacy* alongside several unnamed Escort Frigates) snuck into the Bay of Tuing, having taken out 4 *Hayabusa* class patrol boats successfully along the way. Upon arriving near the shore of the relatively unpopulated southern tip of Belitung, the *Supremacy* launched a first wave of bombers which deployed bombs into the nearby Port Tuing where the 1st Homeland Defence Fleet was docked for the evening, sinking 6 out of the 7 anchored *Type 42* destroyers and the aircraft carrier *Rightful* which had been sailed back from Japan for essential repairs after their Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea. With this brazen assault, the local Holy Hammer forces deployed rapidly to shoot down the *Xian H-6*s and their *Chengdu J-20* escort. Despite their best efforts, only 2 J-20s were shot down and the Bovido *Shenyang FC-31*s were quickly destroyed by artillery fire from the 7th Fleet. The 7th Fleet then approached the Port and sinking the remaining *Type 42* destroyer as it attempted to flee the island, the Libirachi Fleet landed at Tuing. With *Chengdu J-20*s taking air superiority with the destruction of the local HH forces, the three *Wasp* AAS deployed their crews and began their break for Makassar on the 28th of September.

    Within a days march through the Bovido jungles, the 2nd Occupation Army came across Bovido emplacements designed to halt the Libirachi forces. These emplacements were commanded by Captain Sumar Tang, leader of the Bovido Defence Force for Belitung and Makassar, and his forces managed to halt the Libirachi Empire 20 miles short of Kamass thanks to assistance from the Nameless. Under command of Cpatian Tang, the Bovido forces repelled the 2nd Occupation Army repeatedly, holding their ground for 45 days until the Libirachi forces began dropping biological weapons on the emplacements, causing carnage and allowing the Army Core to break through the Bovido lines on November 12. With Bovido forces retreating to Kamass, the Sky Core Regiment of the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army set up an air base in the ruins of the Bovido encampments, using the fallen structures as cover for their command centre. While the Occupation Army began marching towards Makassar, the Sky Core launched waves of *Chengdu J-20*  air superiority fighters to clear Bovido Holy Hammer air forces away from the 2nd OA, whilst a squadron of experimental *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers layed waste to Bovido reinforcements attempting to aid the Mainland Defence Force. Upon arriving at Kamass on November 20, the Libirachi forces found a city devoid of military personnel and much of the former metropolis lay in ruins with indiscriminate attacks killing civilians and soldiers alike.

##### Battle of the Makassar Strait

While the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army was making headway on the island of Belitung, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet had broken away from Port Tuing and began to approach the Makassar Strait, where the rival 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet (consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Obadiah,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Ōsumi* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers from the Bovido Mainland Defence Force Holy Hammer Regiment) under the command of High Admiral Gabriel Toomes, while the 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet was patrolling their territory, unaware of the landing at Port Tuing. After approaching the Strait, which is the only sensible means of oversea passage to the city of Makassar from the southern tip of the island, the 3rd BPF noticed the Libirachi Fleet and immediately opened fire on the *Supremacy* inflicting mild structural damage on the command ship of Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn, but succeeded in initially deterring the Libirachi forces. Not being a person to surrender, Thrawn began a second assault on the Bovido Fleet, and used a squadron of experimental *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers and *Chengdu J-20* air superiority fighters to attack the *Ōsumi* and several of the *Martadinata* class frigates protecting the *Obadiah*, while the *Type 055* Destroyers *New Dawn* and *Beijing Lord IV* assaulted the Bovido aircraft carrier. In defence, the 6 prototype *Martadinata-Heavy* class frigates escorting the *Obadiah* utilised their heavy weaponry and torpedo silos to sink both the *New* *Dawn* and *Goliath,* although the *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers destroyed the MH-01, MH-03, MH-04 and MH-05 *Martadinata-Heavy* frigates within the hour through the usage of next generation bombing technology and depth charges. With the loss of its heavy escort, the MH-02, Obadiah, *Ōsumi* and the remaining standard *Martadinata* class frigates began a retreat from the southern strait to regroup, but were closely followed by Thrawn's fleet who continued bombarding the Bovido Fleet as they retreated. Within hours, the *Ōsumi* had sustained severe damage to its hull and engines and began to float behind the rest of the 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet, and became the target of Supremacy's heavy cannons, sinking the landing craft and its Holy Army deployment. In a repeat of the Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea, Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet followed the retreating Bovido fleet, bombarding it relentlessly as High Admiral Toomes fled the site of the battle.

##### Siege of Makassar

Having taken Kamass, the 2nd Occupation Army took up residence within the fallen city and began to set up base in the city stadium. Using the local populace as slave labour, General Fang Torrent established a staging point for the upcoming assault on the city of Makassar, with runways and barracks for his soldiers. On December 15, the 2nd Occupation Army began its first push towards the Christian capital, using air strikes as cover and advancing with a barrage of artillery fire attacking the Bovido emplacements. Employing the brute force of the Occupation Army, General Torrent began the march north, but encountered the first in a series of challenges on their journey; hordes of civilian-soldiers who were throwing their lives down to protect their leaders, whilst the Lord's Holy army struggled to cease its bitter infighting to protect their Emperor and Archbishop. Whilst the Libirachi forces began their trudge towards Makassar, Emperor Damal Clod of Bovido Has and his Clergy counterpart Archbishop Syli Dean began attempting to raise the largest people's army the world had ever seen, turning its civilians into living weapons, both through the usage of Kamikaze tactics (turning pilots and their aircraft into bombs) and masses of civilians acting as a barrier between the advancing army and the Bovido leadership. Meeting secretly within the Lord's War Council room, the Archbishop began enacting contingency plans for his own escape whilst the Emperor refused to budge, a mistake that would cost many lives in the later stages of the siege. As the War Council deliberated and fractional infighting make ruin of the Bovido battle plans, Archbishop Dean begun his final contingency - evacuation to Japan Has along with a slimmed down version of the War Council within a period of 6 months to allow for necessary preparations and other departments to move as well.

Meanwhile, in a campaign that lasted until March 20th 2021, the Libirachi 2nd Occupation Army slugged their way through line upon line of Bovido soldiers and citizens alike, all determined to prevent Libirachi forces from taking over their capital. Despite being largely inefective in their efforts, the willingness of the Bovido citizens to die for their emperor proved a difficult challenge for the Libirachi forces, who had to trudge through the Makassar marshes continuously under assault from one side or another. Finally making it into the outskirts of the city, the Occupation army proceeded to make base in Bullertown (named after the deceased Emperor Hagreev Buller, although occasionally used in reference to his son, Hazael Buller) and used it to attack the Bovido capital, reigning terror down upon the citizens of Makassar. Setting up a new forward base in Bullertown, the Occupation Army under General Torrent began bombarding the city over a three month period, eliminating all military installations within the city, leaving the Bovido leadership vunerable, whilst Libirachi Sky Core pilots dominated the sky, making it impossible for escape from the city in any direction, thanks to assistance from the 7th Naval Legion Fleet commanded by Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn who had finally finished wiping out the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet in the Makassar Strait.

Having surrounded the capital island, the net tightened on the Bovido Emperor Damal Clod, who had refused to even plan an escape route for his total confidence in the stability and strength of his defences, whilst Archbishop Syli Dean was laying out the final preparations in his evacuation plan, although the invasion had taken him by surprise. By May 12th 2021, the capital city of Makassar had fallen to the Libirachi Empire and the 2nd Occupation Army was flushing out remnants and the War Council who had fled from their government building, although the Libirachi blockade meant they couldn't escape, and were found alongside Emperor Damal Clod in the Makassar Spire, the tallest building in the city and the final hiding place of the Bovido Has leadership. Begging for his life, Clod signed a decree of surrender effective to all soldiers and citizens of Bovido Has, ordering them to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Libirachi Empire. Broadcasted across the world, both on Bovido and Libirachi state media, as well as on countless western news services, the execution of Damal Clod and his cabinet of ministers sent a warning to the world - nobody messes with the Libirachi Empire. With the death of its parramount leader, Bovido Has shattered like glass, coming under siege from Obadiah Has and the fractional groups across the Pacific islands and eventually collapsing under the pressure. Hastily escaping with a legion of soldiers who refused to follow Clod's orders, Archbishop Dean managed to escape Belitung and fled to Japan, where he would attempt to re-build Bovido Has from the new capital of Tokyo.

#### United States Intervention in the War

With the collapse of the Pacific iteration of Bovido Has after the Libirachi invasion, the Bovido stockpile of nuclear weapons was spread across the Pacific and Asia, and while the Libirachi Empire managed to acquire the majority of said warheads, approximately 20 bombs were left un-accounted for after the Bovido declaration of surrender, forcing the President of the United States, Simon Walker to make an intervention to ensure that none of the missing warheads made their way into the hands of the Hǔnluàn or one of their "puppet nations", attempting to "disallow a terrorist organisation the means in which to fight nuclear warfare, not just against the USA but against any nation it so wishes". As such, the 7th US Pacific Task force deployed to the Pacific islands on May 20th in collaboration with the Libirachi Empire, in a mission lasting between May 20 and December 20 2021, which saw a series of raids and assaults of remnant holdouts of Bovido Has, several Obadiah Has installations as well as a Hǔnluàn shipping convoy in an attempt to retrieve the missing weapons. At the end of the mission, the US Navy had recovered 9 bombs, and the Libirachi Naval Legion had acquired 10, with one of the weapons ending up in the hands of the Tokyo Bovido - although it was later discovered to be a decoy weapon used by the Bovido army to appear stronger after the collapse of Bovido Has.

## Has Wars - Year Two (2021)

### The Persian Conquests

 Main articles: Hǔnluàn Missile Strike on Imperial High Command and Battle for Persia
    While war in the Pacific front was was beginning to wind up, Ashton Morre's Hǔnluàn group started planning for a takeover of the Middle East, using their vast resources and the might of the Emirate of Persia to force out the Libirachi Empire and Bovido Has from their holdouts in the volatile region. Deploying two *Panavia Tornado* strike fighters from an airfield in Obadiah Has territory, the Obadiah Holy Hammers initiated a fight over into Libirachi airspace on January 17, engaging the Imperial Sky Core at Wuhan after sneaking past boarder patrols. The ensuring dogfight saw the destruction of 3 *Shenyang FC-31* multi-role fighters and one of the attacking *Tornado* fighters. Despite this, the remaining fighter made its way into Beijing airspace, chased by 6 *Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor*s. Gaining significant damage, the remaining *Tornado* launched its missile payload before being knocked out of the sky by a *2K22 Tunguska* SPAAW and crashing into the Grand Hotel Beijing, killing 60 civilians in the process. Despite shooting down the striker, the missiles deployed by the *Tornado* smashed into the ground floor of the IHC building, damaging it structurally, as well as hitting the 14th floor where Grand Moff Alan Wieker was holding a virtual meeting of the Joint Chiefs. The assault killed Wieker, Rear Admiral Alasdair Walker, adviser Bowen Shi, as well as 90 members of the High Command logistics and command division. With the loss of their foremost military leader, Supreme Commander Cassio Tagge took full control of the war effort, whilst Grand General Chen Bingde was promoted to the post of Grand Moff, and Marshal Guo Tijjan took the Grand General post.

#### Battle for Persia

Enraged by the Hǔnluàn assault on the Libirachi military leadership, Imperial High Command initiated planning protocols for an invasion of the Persian Republic to flush out Ashton Morre's terrorist group, using location information obtained by Imperial Security Bureau Director General Penny Fox to plot the fastest course into the Persian President's military fortress. Wrapping up the conflict with Bovido Has in the pacific, the Libirachi Empire deployed three land armies to the Persian boarder in preparation of the assault, whilst the 7th and 3rd Naval Legion Fleets, as well as the 17th Indian Task-force, under the overall command of Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn made its way towards the southern coast of the Persian peninsula. Commanding the 5th Occupation Army, the 8th Occupation Army and the 12th ISF division respectively, Marshal Almac Davis, Major General Chen Wei and Lieutenant General Anton Tupec began their march over the Persian boarder on March 5th 2021, crushing the boarder guard positions just 89km away from the standing base at Al-Salman. Having disposed of the Persian guards, the three armies began their journey over the boarder, utilising two squadrons (20 tanks each) of *T-80* and *T-40* battle tanks to clear the path ahead, whilst columns of *Xiaolong XL2060* and *SFQ2040* High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) transported the thousands of soldiers over the boarder. Re-enforced in the sky by the 9th Sky Core led by Flight Marshal Dume Agathar, 20 squadrons of *Mil Mi-35 Hind* attack helicopters and *CH-47 Chinook*s, protected by a *Shenyang FC-31* escort, flew further troops and supplies over the Persian boarder whilst waves of *Sukhoi Su-57*, *Chengdu J-20* and *F-22 Raptor* Stealth Air Superiority Fighters attempted to wrestle control of the skies from the Persian Air Force. Alerted to the invasion by reports from *F-15E Strike Eagle* squadrons, the Persian Republic Defence Force led by Major General Fahd al-Mutair began deploying forces to counter the Libirachi advance at the boarder town of Rafha, where the forces of the 7th Persian Land Defence Force was attempting to halt the Libirachi advance. As the two armies collided at Rafha, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet commanded by Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn was approaching the Persian gulf with the 17th Indian Task Force intent upon seizing all port towns necessary to the invasion with the assistance of the 9th Occupation Army stationed in the wastelands of Imperial Iran. Meanwhile, the 2nd Persian Defence Fleet under the command of Admiral Salback had begun to encircle Thrawn's fleet, forcing them further into Persian waters. Goaded into combat, the 7th Fleet became embattled in the Gulf, fighting the 2nd Defence Fleet for three weeks until March 26, when the last of the fleet surrendered to Thrawn. Finally able to escort the 9th Occupation Army, the 7th Fleet began transporting forces over from the Iranian Wastelands into Persia, overwhelming the local defence forces. Marching onward, the 9th LOA joined the 5th and 8th LOAs in their assault on the Persian Republic. Taking care not to destroy civilian buildings, the Libirachi task force overwhelmed the inferior Defence Forces, allowing them to march toward the capital of Nupersa, where they arrived on April 17th. Meanwhile, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet continued to bombard the coast, destroying emplacements and Hǔnluàn bases in the south, forcing the occupying force to retreat to Nupersia.

Surrounding the city, the Libirachi forces began several month long bombardment of the city, levelling much of the government facilities and forcing the Hǔnluàn out from their seat of power in the Nupersia Capitol building into smaller buildings, whilst the President of Persia began ordering strategic retreats back into the centre of the city. After a bombing raid on the acting capital building, the President was evacuated but his transport was intercepted by Libirachi commandos and detonated, apparently leaving President Morre dead, although it was never confirmed. With the loss of their leader, the Persian congress appointed Morre's Prime Minister Karen Sanders to the presidency, although she was quickly toppled and replaced with exiled Libirachi politician Almac Docu. As the new Persian government began to consolidate its power, the Hǔnluàn remnants began to shatter and their control over the city was finally destroyed in September 2021. Rallying his army to defend the capital city, Docu officially surrendered to the Libirachi Empire on November 14th 2021, beginning a 6-month occupation period (although it was cut short by the Invasion of Japan) and a transition period into a constitutional empire.

### The Fall of the Tokyo Bovido

 Main article: Invasion of Japan

While the Battle for Persia was raging in the Middle East, Archbishop Syli Dean of Bovido Has had begun constructing a new empire for the remnants of the fallen Bovido. Establishing himself in Tokyo after escaping the Siege of Makassar in early 2021, Dean set about re-organising the forces of the provinces of Russia Has, the Bovido Line, Japan Has, Egypt Has, Jordan Has, Palestine Has and the Holy Province of Jerusalem. Scattered across three continents, the last major holdouts of the Bovido Hassian empire converged at Tokyo to rebuild, creating the Tokyo Bovido; a provisional government consisting of military leaders and politicians alike meeting in Japan Has to discuss troop movements and deciding on how best to win the war. Whilst in the Middle East, Major General Chen Wei's combined forces were toppling the Hǔnluàn, Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn was recalled to the Pacific in preparation of an invasion of the Tokyo Bovido. With the Battle for Persia intensifying, Thrawn and recently promoted Major General Fang Torrent created the Libirachi Pacific Strategic Task Force (LPSTF or PSTF) from the 4th and 7th Naval Legion Fleets as well as the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Armytogether with the 7th Libirachi Occupation Army.

#### Battle for Tokyo

As the newly-created Libirachi Pacific Strategic Task Force began its preparations for an all-out assault on the Tokyo Bovido capital island string of Japan, Lord's Grand Army entered a phase of re-structuring led by High Admiral Etsushi Toyo and his deputy Torrent Koon after a botched defence at the island of Belitung in the Autumn to Spring of 2020/2021 capitulated much of the previous leadership. Within the Bovido Provisional Government, various fractions of leaders began to emerge, with various different groups supporting war, peace, surrender and nuclear warfare, whilst Archbishop Syli Dean struggled to control members of his own fraction and the military virtually severed itself from parts of government which didn't support Dean, withdrawing their forces from several regions of the Egypt and Russian Hases, forcing the leaders of said provinces to reverse their decisions of key topics of interest. Whilst the Provisional Government crumbled, the LPSTF advanced on the island, deploying the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army to the northern tip of the island in June 2021 on *Wasp* class assault ships commanded by Admiral Alexander Kallus of the 7th Naval Legion Fleet, whilst the Bovido Defence Fleet commanded by Etsushi Toyo hunted down Grand Admiral Thrawn's flagship in the Pacific. With a flurry of fighting, the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army succeeded in pushing back the Bovido Forces from the northern tip, forcing the Provisional Government into collapse, with regional leaders cedeing from the leadership of Archbishop and *self-proclaimed* Emperor Syli Dean. Beginning with Russia Has, different provinces separated from the Tokyo Bovido, forming their own mini-empires and withdrawing their military capabilities from the defence of Japan Has. Despite misgivings about their leader, the Japan Has and Bovido Line remained loyal and continued to fight off the Libirachi Empire whilst other splinter groups negotiated peace settlements. As the various splinter groups began to form their own governments and alliances, the Tokyo Bovido continued its fight against the Libirachi forces, although a landing by the 7th Libirachi Occupation Army on the southern tip of the nation later in the year utterly destroyed the fighting capacity of the Emperor's forces.

#### Decimation of Fuji

    With confidence in Archbishop Syli Dean crumbling, the Bovido Has Grand Council convened under Chairman Etsushi Toyo to discuss war plans as General Ami Yamori's battlegroup suffered continual defeats at the hands of the superior Libirachi Imperial Army, concocting a plan to defeat the Libirachi forces once-and-for-all. Deliberately leaking the location of a meeting of the Grand Council at Mt. Fuji Strategic Bunker to the Libirachi Imperial High Command, High Admiral Etsushi Toyo ensured that all loyal military personnel were re-deployed elsewhere, while senior members of the clergy were invaded to take the place of the absent military leaders. As the 2nd and 7th Libirachi Occupation Armies moved to capture the mountain fortress, High Admiral Toyo and his right-hand man Torrent Koon seized control of the Mount Fuji Bunker security system, opening the defences guarding Camp Fuji to the Libirachi Armies.

As the 7th LOA breached the fortress, Toyo ordered the detonation of a 300kt nuclear bomb underneath the strategic bunker, killing both the remaining members of the Tokyo Bovido clergy and thousands of Libirachi soldiers, as well as hundreds of residents of nearby Fujinomiya who suffered from radiation poisoning, the initial heat blast and falling objects blasted into the sky by the explosion. With the remnants of the original leadership of Bovido Has eradicated in one fell swoop, High Admiral Toyo and High Admiral Koon quickly seized power in Tokyo, with Toyo pronounced Emperor and Koon taking up the mantle as commander-in-chief of the Holy Army. As the Libirachi Army threatened to retaliate with a nuclear strike, the new government of Bovido Has attempted to continue the fight before surrendering to the forces of the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army following an assault on the city of Tokyo. Whilst the remnants in Japan Has were resisting the march of the LIA, whilst Toyo and Koon escaped into the Pacific ocean with the last parts of the Holy Navy, establishing an island hopping empire with Toyo as Emperor.

###  Bovido Remnants

With much of the Tokyo Bovido Provisional Government capitulated by the Libirachi invasion, various holdouts across the Japan Has continued their fight against the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army whilst the official Tokyo government led by emirate Zen Engr moved for an official surrender to Supreme Commander Cassio Tagge of the Libirachi Empire. Meanwhile, Emperor Etsushi Toyo and his fleet moved between islands imposing their rule on former Bovido colonies before being repelled by a local rebellion. In similar circumstances, Cardinal Anton Ujung of Bovido Has (Jerusalem) began to enact a contingency plan devised by vengeful leaders to eradicate rival fractions of the fractured nation, all the while growing an empire in the middle east and northern Africa. Likewise, the state of Russia Has reformed itself into the Russian Federation under the leadership of Viceroy Nadia Crestvick, laying the foundations of a semi-democratic nation. Barely a year after the collapse of the Tokyo Bovido, the last remnants had subsided thanks to the efforts of Cardinal Ujung's contingency and the Libirachi Civil War of 2022 - 24 which pressed many of the unaffiliated fractions into war once more. By the end of the Has Wars in 2022, the last holdout of the former Bovido Has, the Bovido Line, had collapsed under attack from the Libirachi Empire, leaving Ujung's Jerusalem Bovido to claim the title of Bovido Has as the Christian empire entered a phase of re-birth.

## Has Wars - Year Three (2022)

### The Assault on Obadiah Has

 Main article: Invasion of Obadiah Has
With the fall of Bovido Has at its Japanese holdout, the attention of theLibirachi Empire turned towards its neighbour to the south - the ragtag nation of Obadiah Has, formed following a mass defection from Bovido Has upon the death of Archbishop and Emperor Hazael Buller. Whilst Supreme Leader Justus Obadiah floundered around attempting to control his High Command, the Libirachi Pacific Strategic Task Force (LPSTF or PSTF)began making plans for invasion in early august, before launching on September 1, 2021, just 29 days prior to the final surrender of Bovido Has. Joining forces with the United Kingdom which entered the war on May 7, 2021 with the appointment of Matilda Crow as Prime Minister, although the Invasion of Obadiah Has was the first deployment of the British Armed Forces following the declaration after several months of preparation. Launching from their foothold in the south Pacific on September 1, 2021, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet commanded by Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn and Admiral Karyn Faro begun their assault on Obadiah Has from their flagships, the INL Supremacy and the INL Harbinger respectively. Beginning the attack with a slow crawl into Obadiah Has waters, the 7th Fleet engaged the 1st Obadiah Defence Fleet, commanded by Admiral Foma, and began a rapid advance, decimating the Obadiah flagship to push through the enemy line. With the burning Obadiah flagship quick on the retreat, the Libirachi fleet snuck through the cracks in the formation of the Obadiah Defence fleet, managing to make its way towards the Obadiah coast aided by British ships from the Royal Navy.

Landing upon the Obadiah coast, the 8th Libirachi Occupation Army commanded by Major General Chen Wei began a forward assault, receiving heavy losses before managing to push back the Obadiah defence forces into the thick forests that lined much of the coast, whilst the Royal Navy and RAF inflicted heavy damage upon the Fleets protecting the Christian nation. Under the command of Supreme Commander Cassio Tagge, the LPSTF began attacking boarder towns, marching forward to the capital city of Templar, whilst the 7th Libirachi Occupation Army headed by Major General Fang Torrent pushed downwards from the Libirachi boarder in the north. Approaching the city of Templar from the sea, the Libirachi and British forces began bombing raids, decimating parts of the city whilst Supreme Leader Justus Obadiah fled his capital to the second city, leaving the provisional government in the city abandoned, allowing the Libirachi ground forces to quickly seize control of the former prize jewel of Obadiah Has, in some circumstances even receiving aid from a largely sympathetic population. As the joint British and Libirachi forces quickly reclaimed much of the nation from the hands of the Supreme Leader, who kept eluding arrest by fleeing to a new city each time the coalition forces destroyed his capital, until eventually most of the nation came under Libirachi or British administration, leading the Obadiah forces stranded in a small part of the nation. Secretly coming to an agreement with Almac Docu of the Confederacy of Independent Nations, the CIN entered the war in early 2022, just shortly after the death of Empress Laura Fox, managing to repel Libirachi forces from much of the north of the nation by mid June 2022 thanks to forces from the 2nd Confederate Army, under the command of Ashton Morre. As the political spectrum became more fraught, the CIN was forced to retreat (having never officially been part of the war in the first place), allowing the Libirachi forces to reclaim the lost territory and finally subjugate the nation, capturing Justus Obadiah and executing him on July 27, 2022.

### Fall of the Bovido Line

 Main article: Collapse of the Bovido Line
Launching at the same time as the Invasion of Obadiah Has, the LPSTF deployed a force of highly equipped soldiers to break the military occupation of the Bovido Line controlled by Zebadiah Keto, a puppet leader of the Jerusalem Bovido. Commanded by Admiral Alexander Kallus, the 4th Naval Legion Fleet broke through the blockade of Bovido vessels surrounding the island, landing on the shores of the former Viet Has on September 2, 2021. Utilising top of the line weaponry, the Libirachi Imperial Army began assaulting the capital city of Saigon using heavy artillery located in neighbouring Obadiah Has during the concurrent invasion. Closing in on the Bovido Line's dictator, the Libirachi Empire faced fierce resistance in the jungles as Bovido Nameless soldiers conducted guerrilla warfare against the Libirachi invaders, necessitating the usage of carpet bombs, which burned down vast swathes of the vegetation, causing much uproar in conservation societies. Entering the capital city on May 7, 2022, the Libirachi Empire faced further resistance before Major General Keto and his inner circle fled the nation with the assistance of Cardinal Anton Ujung of the Jerusalem incarnation of Bovido Has on May 20th, leaving the remaining forces to surrender to the Libirachi forces on May 23, 2022.

### Assassination of Laura Fox

 Main article: Assassination of Laura Fox
With the Has Wars coming to a close, a plot was formed in Persia under the leadership of the new President, Almac Docu, a former Libirachi politician in exile for rebelling against the government; under a cloak of darkness, a set of assassins infiltrated Beijing and poisoned Empress Laura Fox in the evening of May 27th 2022, leaving the nation without a head of state. Taking over *de-facto* power, President Xi Jimping connived a meeting of the Shadow Council, consisting of Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Cassio Tagge, Grand General Guo Tijjan, Grand Moff Chen Bingde, Minister of War Damien Salamander, Minister of Defence Alastar Brigman and Director General of COMPNOR Penny Fox which unanimously selected the *late* Empress' daughter as the new regent of the Libirachi Empire, although she refused to waste time and resources on a coronation until after conflict stopped, instead taking over as Head of State from President Xi and the powers associated, despite not holding an official title with the authority to take the post. Meanwhile, as news of the Empress' death trickled out through the military command structure, several regions rebelled against the regime, such as the splinter nation of New Libirachi and *self-proclaimed* Grand Moff Alex Pandion's Imperial Fraction which seized control in the Lower Stan Provinces and Iran after failing to seize control in his oversector of Eastern China and the Acquired Provinces of Bovido Has. Whilst the Libirachi Empire continued its fight against Obadiah Has, the separatist groups united with Persia and several eastern European nations to become the Confederacy of Independent Nations, with Docu as its President. Facing a real threat of invasion, the Empire formed an alliance with the Russian Federation and Canogally to form the Union of Aligned Nations with Fox as its Chairman.

### Conclusion

With the surrender of Obadiah Has on July 27, 2022, the tumultuous Has Wars finally came to an end, having seen the surrender of the Emirate of Persia, Bovido Has, Hǔnluàn and Bovido Line to the Libirachi Empire, allowing it to accumulate the largest land mass of any country in human history by mid 2022. With the defeats of the other major superpower, Bovido Has, the Libirachi Empire managed to solidify it's position as the world's foremost economic, military and political power, extending its influence into countries like Loxenia, Isgardia, the United Kingdom and many others to facilitate the rise of right wing populist leaders to take power in the nations, through either force or election rigging, leaving many of the western states sworn to oppose imperialist powers under the thumb of the Libirachi government.

## Legacy

As the ashes of the Has Wars began to settle in mid 2022, the political status of all major combatant nations had significantly altered from their positions only 2 years prior. Entering the war as a superpower, Bovido Has' global influence and territory had been shattered by a series of devastating attacks on a nation which was drastically underprepared for modern warfare, whilst the Libirachi Empire emerged as the sole dominant force in Asia, although the death of Empress Laura Fox in May 2022 left the nation de-stabilised and the subsequent political vacuum led to the Libirachi Civil War between loyalist forces and those loyal to the new Persian President Almac Docu, who was installed following the fall of the Hǔnluàn's control over Persia. Created just days before the outbreak of war, Obadiah Has collapsed in the spring of 2022 after an assault by the Libirachi Empire, although the territory slipped out of Libirachi control during the civil war. Escaping from an apparent death in the Battle for Persia, Hǔnluàn founder Ashton Morre was brought under the wing of the Confederacy of Independent Nations in the summer of 2022, leading the armies of the CIN against the Union of Aligned Nations formed by Regent Penny Fox, who used the civil war to cement her control of the collapsing empire. Despite not being serious combatants, the United States of America and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland suffered from the war, with President Simon Walker's administration collapsing in 2024 from the combined pressure of the Has Wars and the subsequent Libirachi Civil War and UK Prime Minister David Cameron was voted out of office in a vote of no confidence after refusing to participate in the war, with Unity party leader Matilda Crow forming a new government in 2021.

## International Reception and Impact

### Major Combatants:

**Bovido Has** - Over the course of the Has Wars, Bovido Has suffered many humiliating defeats as a result of decades of stagnating leadership, as well as an inherent belief that God would carry them to victory. As Bovido Has lost its third head of state in two years, the nation crumbled into various remnant groups, with some notable ones including the Jerusalem Bovido, Egypt Has and Russia Has, leaving various local warlords in charge of their territory. Taking power in the Middle East, Emirate Anton Ujung of Jerusalem led his remnant forces to enact a contingency plan to re-build the empire, leading to a small war between the Bovido remnants.

**Hǔnluàn** - Rising to power over the winter of 2019 in the Himalayan region of Asia, the Hǔnluàn grew into a massive terrorist organisation with the assistance of Director General Penny Fox of the Libirachi Empire, allowing them to upend the political scale of Asia by assassinating the Archbishop of Bovido Has, sparking the Has Wars. Following Fox's withdrawal of assistance, the Hǔnluàn began to falter and a subsequent invasion by the Libirachi Empire loosened their grip over Persia, letting the group collapse within six months of its leader's demise.

**Obadiah Has** - Ceding from Bovido Has in early 2020, Supreme Leader Justus Obadiah (formerly leader of the Lord's Grand Army) built himself an empire by invading the Bovido territory in south Asia. Having solidified his leadership, Obadiah refused to commit to further incursions into the Libirachi Empire and Bovido Has and became an isolationist nation until early 2021, when Persian Prime Minister and Hǔnluàn deputy Karen Sanders seized control of the nation. With the collapse of the Hǔnluàn by November that year Obadiah Has once more became free, but was invaded by the Libirachi Empire before the end of the war

**Fox Dynasty** - As the dominant political and economic power in Asia by the outbreak of the Has Wars, the Libirachi Empire was well equipped to fight a war on multiple fronts and defeated many neighbouring rivals during the war, such as Bovido Has, Obadiah Has, the Hǔnluàn and several smaller Bovido Remnants, meaning that the Empire remained fully intact until the last moths of the war. Following the death of Empress Laura Fox on May 27 of 2022, the Libirachi Empire began to fragment, although the Libirachi Imperial Army under the command of Supreme Commander Cassio Tagge continued to fight Obadiah Has until its surrender.

**Persia** - As the last democracy in Asia, the Persian Republic came under siege by the Hǔnluàn in early 2020 and President Emanuel Parra resigned to allow terrorist leader Ashton Morre to take power in an ill-thought through plan to protect the populace. After a year of terrorist leadership, the Persian Republic overthrew Morre and his cronies, allowing Libirachi politician-in-exile Almac Docu to be inaugurated as President.

**United Kingdom** - Within the United Kingdom, the Has Wars were a point of contention amongst leaders and the public, who ultimately divided into two groups. The Westminster political system took several hits and the Has Wars are regarded as one of the major catalysts for the 2021 vote of confidence in the Cameron ministry which led to the resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron, as well as the early foreign policy of the new Government led by Matilda Crow. As one of the only western nations that attempted to intervene, the UK played a key role in ending the fighting by supplying resources to help the Libirachi Empire hunt down the remnants of Bovido Has and the Hǔnluàn terrorist group throughout the early 2020s, as well as joining the USA in officially recognising the new boarders that the Empire had achieved through the war, leading the way for the majority of UN nations to do the same.

**United States of America** - As the self-styled "Police force of the world", the United States saw the Has Wars as an opportunity to further their interests in the Pacific ocean, as well as an easy process to get rid of their main Pacific rival, Bovido Has, who had made claims to islands regarded as US property. Under Republican President Simon Walker, the United States took a hard-line approach to ensure that the 20 missing Bovido Nuclear Warheads didn't fall into the hands of terrorist organisations or any remnants of Bovido Has, assisting the Libirachi Empire on a clean up mission between May and December 2021, acquiring 9 nuclear weapons in the process. Alongside the UK, the United States of America began making settlements with the Libirachi Empire, officially recognising their new boarders in the UN in an attempt not to incur the wrath of the Asian superpower, a move which many saw as a return to appeasement practised by Republican politicians in the early twentieth century.
