Atomic bombing of Shimrra: Difference between revisions

[[Daxia]]n tactical difficulties and underperformance of theater units on the Southern [[Xisheng Front]] led [[Daxia]]n political leadership to authorize increasingly radical methods. The use of tactical nuclear weapons was first discussed on December 2022 when Daxian defenses near Waguo were close to being overrun by [[Varshan]]'s renewed offensive. Stabilization of the front eventually shelved these discussions. Following the nuclear attack on [[Urcea]]n forces fighting in the [[Seneca Isles]], a decision on the matter was forced by Chancellor Dodd. A preemptive nuclear attack would be carried out to both cripple Varshani logistics, morale and supply and also send a clear signal to the leaders of [[Varshan]] that further use of nuclear weapons would carry uncontrollable consequences.
