Line 263:
Commander Keyes sent the Counter Insurgency Force led by Captain Jouette to the forests of the Malcolm Nature Reserve where the GEE forces had allegedly fled, according to the Oan intelligence. The CIF worked with a force led by Oan Commander Tukanaye. They pushed these forces back, killing and capturing many of them. They used the Nature Reserve as a route to go unnoticed to the waterworks plant that lay near the park. Commander Keyes ordered Captain Plame as well. He instructed her to assists the Kutherns with aerial support so that they could combat sorties coming from the Kuthern mainland. Despite attempts by the sorties, they were lackluster and fruitless and failed to make significant difference. The determination of captain Plame and her team to resist the GEE forces, made it impossible for reinforcements to arrive for the GEE.
Although the Kutherns were willing to blow the GEE forces hunkered at the water treatment plant and power plant to smithereens regardless of the consequences. The Oans and Furnifoldians were completely opposed to this. The Furnifoldians suggested a delicate touch whereby they used a computer virus to gain remote control of the water and power plant. The Kutherns had to deal with skirmishes in the east of the York capital. Captain Jouette of Furnifold and Commander Tukanaye led a joint special task force that infiltrated the water facility. A strange device called a Bass Cannon was debuted which emitted a sound wave that dislodged delicate matter like snow as to expose traps. The trap laid by Commander Keyes caught and killed several GEE officials, distracting them from the point at which the Jouette-Tukanaye team accessed the plant. The Jouette team got trapped in the pumping station. They fought with the GEE but their position was not easily defensible so they abandoned it. Lieutenant Atesso of the Kuthern forces sent some assistance. With Kuthern support they drove back the GEE forces and formed a defensive perimetre and the GEE retreated.
On the other hand, another team was working on the powerplant. Colonel Satiye about 4 platoons into the facility. They took the facility section by section. They drove the GEE forces into the woods. The Oans, familiar with jungle warfare, concealed themselves using foliage and snow, enabling them to ambush to fleeing GEE forces. Despite their desire to be careful and preserve as much of the critical infrastructure as possible the GEE believed in scorched earth policy so they destroyed the facility. With their operation blown, the Kutherns sent in air support to rescue Satiye's forces. The GEE forces were more numerous than the Oans had originally predicted. The two sides were locked in a prolonged battle to gain ground. When the Furnifoldians secured the water plant, they asked the Kutherns and Tretridians to assist the Oans. The Kutherns managed to obliterate the enemy and rescue the Oan forces.
With the Battle of Yor dragging out, Royal President Luaz Rico of Kuthernburg sent a letter to Erwina Pipua proposing a ceasefire in Yor. In part it would provide relief for humanitarian aid to come in and on the other it would obfuscate the imminent invasion from Great Morstaybishlia by getting the GEE to feel more at ease. Erwina Pipua reluctantly accepted the invitation and she ordered the GEE Military High Command to order a ceasefire. The [[Peacekeeping Forces of Urth|PeaceKeeping Forces of Urth]] was sent in to monitor and enforce the ceasefire. The Oans used the opportunity to record the scale of the war. 7,000 Oan soldiers had been sent of whom 1,400 were injured and 700 were dead. The Bursil and Rivendale pact agreed to divide Yor in two with the north controlled by the GEE and the south controlled by the Bursil alliance. With the Oan Isles having spent 2 billion KRB on the Battle of Yor, they were faced with intense public scrutiny for the cost and conduct of the war.
Woodrow Taft, then the Secretary of State of the GEE held a meeting with High Commander Erwina Pipua and Foreign Secretary Johanna Smith to call for a reform of the Rivendale pact. He suggested that Stratarin and GEE use this brief respite to get nuclear warheads to Kostromastan and provide some much needed training to its military. Kuthern forces in Yor temporarily moved to the border between Great Morstaybishlia and Lower Ethalria. The Bursil alliance decided to set up an air defence missile system to prevent the north from attacking. The Republic of Ethalria was reconstituted and it was set up as a government in exile in south Yor. Remarkably, some of its forces survived. The Southern Yor Guard was set up as the new government of South Yor. The State of North Yor asked the GEE for more military support, violating the terms of the ceasefire.
Royal Chief Marshal Watkins of the [[Royal Kuthern Armed Forces]] sent a secret wire without the knowledge of the Kuthern government to senior officials of the Bursil alliance to end the ceasefire and resume the war. He called it a disgrace. This letter was intercepted by the GEE National Intelligence Agency. Its director, Georgina Whill told Erwina Pipua that the Bursil alliance was planning on not abiding by the terms of the ceasefire. Pipua sent a secret communication to then Crown Prince [[Oahoanu]] of the Oan Isles telling him to convince the Bursil alliance not to break the ceasefire or the Rivendale pact would retaliate with force.
=== Battle of Lower Ethalria===
In Raufstreffen on 8 June 2017, Erwina Pipua directed General Alexandrina Larkov to mobilise 500,000 troops to the border with Great Morstaybishlia in anticipation of an invasion from the north. The next day, High Commander Erwin Pipua received intelligence that Great Morstaybishlia was in the throws of invading the MOE. She ordered General Larkov to add an additional 300,000 soldiers to the invasion force. With the approval of the Imperial Diet, additional rationing was put in place to set aside funds and resources to prepare for the fight with Morstaybishlia and Yor. GEE 5th, 7th and 18th Air Superiority Squadrons were placed on patrol with an order to shoot non-hailing aircraft on sight. In a surprise attack, Morstaybishlian forces fired on the patrol plane. Adjacent GEE jets alerted ground control. GEE Air Superiority fighters tried to chase the Morstaybishlian air forces out of Lower Ethalrian skies. The Morst jets fled to safer airspace in Staynes. The GEE air force was too frightened to attack Staynes directly and the commanders did not want to escalate a skirmish into a full-blown war without the authorisation of the High Commander. So they retreated.
The Morsts were informed of the plan by the Kutherns and the Oans to retake Yor. They stayed their invasion until the Oans and Kutherns had a foothold in Yor. This was done was so that the GEE would be forced to focus its attention on fighting Great Morstaybishlia instead of trying to recapture Yor. To the surprise of everyone, the Executive Cabinet of the Confederation of [[Kostromastan]] decided to join the Rivendale Pact, sending a letter to the GEE government on 15 July 2017. With the ceasefire coming in force, it was agreed that a demilitarised zone was to be built between the two nations. The planned invasion of the GEE was not carried out. The ceasefire negotiated by Rico allowed humanitarian aid to enter the newly split Yor as well as GEE. The Oan Isles sent humanitarian aid and reconstruction funds and resources to south Yor. The Oan Isles kept sanctions on GEE and asked all other nations to continue with this. The Oan Isles also sent its forces and provided resources to assist in the Great Morstaybishlian and GEE demilitarised zone.
===Battle of Kostoria-Obertonia===
Under the name of Operation Red Eagle, the MOE and GEE planned to invade KO. The GEE used the assets recovered from the ROE to reconstitute its navy. Some ROE officers defected to the GEE and joined their military. Coupled with the naval fire power from the MOE, the GEE was poised to invade KO. To the misfortune of the Kostorians, a few GEE military vessels were coming online. Despite being hastily made, they surpassed KO's defensive capabilities. Furthermore, with some of their forces bogged down in the battle of Hindersville, KO's defences faced incredible challenges. A two-pronged attack was preferred: an invasion by land from the east and a naval blockade from the south and invasion by sea of the city of Nuremkastel. The Oan air craft carrier strike group finally reached the Azure Sea. It established its base on Indigo Island with the permission of the government of Axdel.
=== Overthrow of Erwina Pipua ===
The Military High Command of the GEE held a meeting to overthrow Erwina Pipua. They felt that she was no longer serving the interests of the GEE and that she was leading the GEE to ruin, so they conspired to have her assassinated. After contriving several ideas, they decided to have her shot by a sniper. Oahoanu managed to stop the Bursil alliance from breaking the ceasefire agreement. The Duke of Kuthernburg was to meet with him in Lessau to negotiate a peaceful end to the war. They granted Pipua diplomatic immunity on arriving in that country. After communicating the arrangements with Crown Prince Oahoanu, Erwina Pipua left the GEE HQ. As she walked out onto the street, the sniper shot her. Erwina Pipua's team got news that the Military Command was orchestrating the coup. She was injured. They rushed her to the Rauffstrefen International Airport and fled the country to Lessau hoping that the diplomatic immunity agreement would remain in force.
=== Battle of Caltharus ===
Kostromastan planned an invasion of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] by taking the province of Nocturne in [[Caltharus]].
