Zaclaria entering the eastern war essentially amounted to a Caphirian eastern escalation of the conflict. Caphirian military assets stationed in Zaclaria, as well as the native [[Zaclaria#Military|Zaclarian military]] greatly expanded [[Audonia#Daria|Daria]] as a theater of conflict. Together with belligerent [[Umardwal#Modern_period|Umardwal]] which recently seized a Burgoignesc possession, the Caphiro-Zaclarian forces posed a serious threat both to Burgoignesc interests in nominally neutral [[Bulkh]] as well as the Burgoignesc islands of [[Chaukira]]. Despite Daria becoming a warzone, the entrance of Caphiria and Zaclaria into this theater became a net positive for Burgundie, as it induced Urcea to commit a significantly larger portion of the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] to the eastern theater of the war. By late February 1935, the allies established naval supremacy in the sea lanes between east and west. The large Levantine naval presence in the east, although largely comprised of older ships, required the [[Corumm]]ese navy to end its skirmish policy, instead shifting to a policy of opportunistic engagement with select segments of the Levantine navies. | Zaclaria entering the eastern war essentially amounted to a Caphirian eastern escalation of the conflict.

Caphiria entering the war in the Occident significantly complicated Urcea's plans to reinforce Burgoignesc possessions in the east. | Caphiria entering the war in the Occident significantly complicated Urcea's plans to reinforce Burgoignesc possessions in the east. The Burgoignesc still required additional manpower and unit flexibility in order to switch to the offensive in most parts of the continent. The [[Second_Great_War#Divided_attention|Oriental Expeditionary Force]] of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] was formed for this purpose, but were subsequently diverted to [[Talionia]]. Accordingly, Urcean political and military leaders sought other solutions to provide additional resources to the Burgoignesc in the east. On 18 February the Urcean government suggested to [[Fiannria]] that it should deploy most of its sizable [[Soirwind]] colonial garrison further south in support of Burgoignesc possessions. While Fiannria met this proposal with lukewarm reaction at best, Urcea offered two inducements for doing so. First, it suggested that the Royal Navy's interdiction of Caphirian supplies to [[Faneria]] would be "delayed", in part due to difficulties in the east. Second, it gave Fiannria a promise of a future delivery of an equivalent number of rifles and infantry supplies to those men currently deployed in Soirwind as well as a significant cash delivery immediately. The thinly veiled threat of no naval assistance combined with cash sufficiently persuaded the Fiannrian government, and on 28 February 1935 the Fiannrian garrison in Soirwind began to mobilize for an upcoming deployment south. | ||
