0600 Hours Local Time
Someone, somewhere, was going to have a very bad day. News of Tieguoese fighters breaching Singanese airspace had quickly reached Bucharest, where teams of analysts and military planners dissected it a thousand times, adding another piece to the puzzle that was the geopolitical situation in Ostara. Taking advantage of events occurring in Svarna Surya and Hoinon, Tieguo made a bid for regional domination.
Determined to not let things stand as they were, the authorities in Bucharest responded aggressively. Tieguo had been declared a rogue state, added to the Axis of Evil list, facing harsh sanctions as Carpathia flexed its political muscle, while a show of force was made by deploying the 2nd Fleet Section to the Bay of Tieguo only hours after the Lanlanians had dispatched a carrier group of their own, formally on a mission to safeguard civilian shipping in the area, although this also gave the Carpathian navy the convenient opportunity to swiftly blockade Tieguo, should the need arise.
Yet, despite the two foreign powers showing clear solidarity with the embattled Singanese government, Tieguo had chosen to respond with yet another provocation, this time in the form of a violation of Singanese airspace by Tieguoese jet fighters, to which the Singanese responded by shooting them down. The situation had deteriorated from there, with increased rebel activity at the border between Singan and Hoinom, where Tieguo-backed rebels ramped up their operations. After secret discussions with the Singanese government, Bucharest decided that it was not going to let this stand.
"Orders from Bucharest!" the lieutenant in charge of the comms station, announced. "Sigma classification, sir!"
The commander of the 2nd Fleet Section, a grizzled old man who's insignia identified him as a Grand Admiral, the highest rank achievable in the Allied States Warfleet, nodded to the lieutenant to patch the orders through to his quarters.
"One of our spy satellites has identified a buildup of rebel forces and hardware at several locations, which is consistent with reports of increased activity along the border," Grand Admiral Păunescu informed his officers. "Additionally, classified sources have informed High Command that the rebels are in possession of several heavy weapons caches, which they plan to use against both civilian and military targets."
"Which leads us to our mission. At 0600 hours local time, we have received orders from High Command, informing us that we are to neutralize these weapons caches, which are located here, here and here," he said, pointing at three highlighted sets of coordinates on the briefing room's display screen. "At 0800, the Unirea will execute a series of short-range ballistic missile strikes against these locations, to eliminate these weapons caches, along with anything else the rebels may possess at these locations. We have our orders. Let's get it done," the Grand Admiral spoke, causing his officers to scramble to their designated battle stations.
Tieguo's strategy of hybrid warfare was one with which the Allied States were familiar as well, afterall they had employed similar strategies too, throughout history. Moreover, the Allied States knew how to deal with such methods and had decided to throw a wrench in Tieguo's plans for regional domination in a way that would either force the rogue state to either fully commit to the rebels, or abandon them outright.
At 0800 local time, the massive superdreadnought that was the flagship of the 2nd Fleet Section, opened up several of its multitude of vertical launch tubes. In rapid succession, twelve V-55 ballistic missiles detached themselves from the Carpathian ship and took to the sky, heading towards their respective targets.
