Arkianian occupied territory in Octitania
Tracers, missiles, and explosions lit up the sky in an operation launched by Octitanian forces in the objective of taking back land occupied by Arkiania in a previous border skirmish. The attacks were an initial success. Arkianian forces were caught by surprise and the front checkpoints were quickly overrun, however defenses were further back, and it wasn't long before Arkianian forces respond with forces that were held back behind the border. By 10AM, the first checkpoints were captured by Octitanian forces, and with the help of Close Air Support would take the 2nd group a checkpoints by 2PM, the fighting was fierce, but with no air support Arkianian forces were forced to continue retreating. By 5PM, the 3rd round of checkpoints and positions were taken, but by this time the surprise was lost. Arkiania forces began crossing the border to reinforce the battered troops who were retreating. The Airforce was in the air and mobilized and immediately began responding to Octitania Close Air Support.
In Arkanium, the King was alerted in his office, and ordered an immediate meeting with his council. The room was tense as to how to respond next.
The Councilor of Defense started the meeting off "At 8AM this morning, Octitanian Armed Forces attacked our checkpoints along the various occupied areas along the border and have been pushing back our forces since. As of right now, we have responded and have sent a brigade to each of the tree occupation zones with air support, however Octitanian air support is stiff, and we may not be able effectively provide Close Air Support with Octitanian fighters about. We can send more troops, but I think if we were to continue trying to hold, Octitania will most certainly declare war. We multiple plans drawn up over the years for this, so we should not be caught completely unprepared. If we are to beat Octitania a quick strike against their important facilities and airforces should weaken them enough for us to be able to advance into Octitania territory and hold them until Mestran support arrive. The Navy has been put on standby. Our options are either we send troops, back off, or we declare war and frame it as an attack on our sovereignty. Now, onto the suggestions and concerns."
The Councilor of Foreign Affairs spoke next "I think declaration of war shouldn't be left off the table, our Armed Forces have been preparing and training for years for such an event. They can immediately launch plans now if we only decided to. In my opinion, all of this standing by while Octitania attacks our men and us only reinforcing them with scraps waiting to see what action takes next is absolutely ludicrous! All this is doing is allowing for Octitania to prepare even forces for a full scale attack against us. Right now we should establish contact with the Mestrans, and with Drahen as well. We should be acting acting quick, and I agree with the suggestion that we should make a quick strike on Octitania and advance as much as we can before the Mestrans can arrive."
Interrupting his General, the King made decision. "We should be contacting with our allies first, if we declare war right now. It will be viewed has attack, and our allies will not be obligated to help us in such an event. I will immediately be consulting with the Mestran King, and with Drahen as well. In the meantime send involve more aircraft and send more brigades to reinforce the occupation areas. Maybe Octitania will back off. This meeting is done."
The King rushed to his office, and established contact with Mestra and Drahen...
