[[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] for its part was subject to its own tribulations during this period. The government of Mirek Alaganek was under attack by Kiravia's 45th Army corps, fighting on behalf of the Chappaquiddick Peace Council and its drive for independence. Alaganek's forces were demoralized and losing ground quickly in the face of Kiravian technological superiority. Tragically for [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] the past assurances of [[Daxia]] that it would not involve itself in affairs east of [[Ixa'Taka]] were shelved in favor of the full implementation of he [[Touxian]] Agreement. The following attack on [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]]'s western flank proved catastrophic for its strategic position, as the bulk of its combat worthy units were in the east of the country. The rapid [[Daxia]]n advance towards [[Rigo Joint Security Area|Rigo]] from the west soon turned the military situation untenable for the government as it simply lacked the reserves or logistics to mount a proper defense against the surprise attack. Under pressure by two militarily superior foes, the regime of Mirek Alaganek began dissolving, the leader himself attempting to escape hidden inside of a fridge before his capture. The collapse and debellation of [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] was propagandized as a great victory for the international order, the elimination of a vain and cruel regime with a very narrow band of ethnic support. With multiple Security Council resolutions in hand, [[Daxia]] and [[Kiravia]] proceeded to carve out the territory between them, [[Daxia]]'s half being absorbed into Xisheng and the [[Kiravia]]n half eventually evolving into the [[Mid-Atrassic_States]]. | [[Nanseetucket|Nanzitolclatl]] for its part was subject to its own tribulations during this period.

The start of hostilities between [[Daxia]] and [[Varshan]] can be pointed to a border delimitation dispute between both nations following the fall of [[Nanzitolclatl]]. Both nations began a policy of aggressive military build-up and posturing on the disputed border of Xisheng and north Varshan, including several clashes that resulted in deaths from the two sides. [[Daxia]]n forces began the hasty construction of a set of four strong defensive lines, collectively known as the [[Chen Line]]; the fortification was considered too resilient to even countenance an attempt by Varshan's forces to breach it. As [[Urcea]] and its dependencies were dragged into a shooting war with [[Varshan]], forcing the latter to withdraw numerous units from the Xisheng frontier region, the [[Daxia]]n political leadership committed to an opportunistic attack of its own to settle the border issue by force, as had happened with [[Nanzitolclatl]]. | The start of hostilities between [[Daxia]] and [[Varshan]] can be pointed to a border delimitation dispute between both nations following the fall of [[Nanzitolclatl]].

Even with the shift in resources to [[Cetsencalia]], [[Daxia]]n forces were still numerically inferior to their [[Varshan]]i counterparts. A large portion of [[Daxia]]n strength in [[Crona]] represented in the main body of the [[Army of Conquest]] was still engaged north in a simmering conflict with the [[Alpachnia|Alpachnee Confederation]]. [[Daxia]]n High Command believed its air assets on hand, partial element of surprise and the qualitative edge of its forces would be enough to nullify the [[Varshan]]i advantage in numbers. On May 25, 2021, [[Daxia]]n artillery alongside drones began an intensive bombardment of [[Varshan]]i positions south of the Amox river. By May 29, [[Daxia]]n forces had constructed several pontoon bridges and were crossing over the Amox into [[Varsha]]n proper. Pushing back light counter-attacks, the 3rd and 18th Mechanized divisions aided by irregular detachments and drone sorties, secured several bridgeheads allowing [[Daxia]]n forces to continue pouring into a bridgehead. Initially unable to hold back the [[Daxia]]n advance, [[Varshan]]'s Northern zone commander [[Shai Malan-Zar]] adopted a strategy of defense in depth, quickly ordering his forces to fall back to prepared defensive lines north of Shimrra. | ||
