The early phases of the war little resembled the violent clashes of armies between Levantia and Sarpedon. Arcerion submitted a formal declaration to The Cape on Christmas Day, 1935 that the two countries were now to be diplomatically disconnected and Arcerion considered there to be an open state of hostilities between The Cape and Arcerion due to the Caphirian Affair and insistence of Capetian leadership on hosting Caphirian soldiers, sailors, and air crew. | The early phases of the war little resembled the violent clashes of armies between Levantia and Sarpedon.

The Confederate Parliament was initially hesitant to be dragged into another war not even half a decade after the first. Hawkish Members of Parliament who called for entering the war on the side of Urcea and Burgundie were often shouted down, reminded of the ills of war and told that Crona was thus far untouched by the horrors of the conflict. But after the Caphirian Affair and the sinking of the ''SS Finch'', public opinion shifted wildly against Caphiria and its allies, specifically new communist Capetian government officials. Arcerion's long held grudge against the Cape for its control of the Songun Straits meant that it now had reasonable ''casus belli'' to fight its Southern neighbour. | |||
Preparations for the war began immediately. Little concerned about Northern neighbours such as Kelekona and Tiechaxha, Arcer forces moved to the southern governorate of [[Moorden Governorate|Moorden]], and began training heavily for coastal defense against what could be a possible invasion. The Arcer Air Force and Nava Service began shifting major assets to Chester-on-Moore and the Southern coastline of the nation, protecting its access to the Songun. Of note was the [[Royal Arcerion Submarine Service]], which began patrolling and foraying further into the Songun Sea conducting reconnaisance, intelligence gathering, and infiltration of Capetian waters in preparation for a larger campaign. | |||
Arcerion also invited significant staffs of Urcean and Burgoignesc defense attaches, arriving through the New Archduchy and travelling to Kurst across the nation via the National Railway Service. The most important of these were Burgundian officials who helped to coordinate Operation Flyhook, one of the major long-term combat operations against the Capetian Navy, a joint action by Arcer and Burgoignesc ships. | |||
