The island of Mitasai, Free Heiwanan States
The Nylander fleet arrived. Carrier group four represented some of the latest in Nylander naval military technology.
While they could have simply engaged the Drubangi, they chose instead to meet with what remained of the Heiwanan Free States, namely the government controlling the largest island, Mitasai.They had come just in time.
The Drubangi, unopposed by the Heiwanans to the north, had spread like a fungus in the formerly Free Heiwanan States. By this point, nearly all the islands other than Mitasai had been either directly or indirectly subjugated. There had been little actual fighting, as Drubangs gunboat diplomacy did more than enough talking, and where there was fighting, it was quick and violent. An island in the north had begun firing on the Drubangi, who responded by unloading salvo after salvo on the islands military installations, as well as harbours, airports, and other more soft targets. After that, resistance was over.
The Mitasai government was elated to see the arrival of the Nylanders, who would save them from the Drubangi marauders. A provisional treaty was quickly signed and ratified by the Mitasai government, as well as what remained of the Free Heiwanan States confederate governing body, led mostly by exiles from the other islands. The treaty established the Free Heiwanan states as an indirect protectorate of Nyland. The treaty was sent back to Nyland for ratification there. From this new base of operations in Mitasai, Nyland would operate in the theater. When the crisis was resolved, the Free Heiwanan States would work with Nyland on ensuring lasting peace, as well as an end to any overseas piracy.
Their first goal was to make an offer to the Drubangi, to see if negotiation could happen. If the negotiations failed, the shiny Nylander ships would be put to work.
