Huakarta, Drubang
Early Spring, 1597
The mist moved in with the ocean breeze, as Admiral Hideki Onegada paced the upper deck of his flagship. It was Drubangs first naval carrier, and the largest ship in the fleet. It was heavily armed, and not only by the accompanying cadre of aircraft that were in its belly.
At his command, the massive hulk of metal moved, along with several other vessels. The Drubangi fleet was on its way northeast, to engage in some... questionable diplomacy with the so-called Free Heiwanan States.
First, however, they would rendezvous with other Drubangi military elements in Kityakishi where they would assemble and develop their plan. The goal was not to seize all of the islands. Just the ones Drubang saw as the most important. They would likely ignore the largest island, Mitasai, as it would be difficult to slog through. The smaller islands, however, would likely be easier to deal with, as any sort of threat of bombardment would likely spook them into submission. Or so they Drubangi leadership hoped.
While the Free Heiwanan States were technically associated, it was very loose, and coordinating themselves effectively would take some time. Time that the Drubangi would hope to take advantage of.
Back home, the President For Life, Tomat Mogu, had high expectations, not only for this campaign, but for another, more significant campaign on the mainland that was still being planned.
For now, things were still quiet. It was a nice morning, and there was no reason to ruin it just yet.
