[h2]The Koryoan Crisis[/h2]

Hours passed since the declaration, the Empire of Japan had initiated their first move towards their enemy, [i]Kingdom of Koryeo[/i], by invading Tōhoku with their numerous regiments consisting of tank divisions and infantry divisions which they've adopted [i]Magik[/i] to greatly affect their strength. Moving their way to the region before halting themselves from seeing their foes in the distant.

Regiments of tanks roared their engine as they began to push through the Koryeon's defenses, easily maneuvered through the rough terrain and its armor plating absorbed the heavy firing of the Koryeon's missiles, nulling its damage. With the combination of Magik to enhanced both defenses and the firepower of each tanks, the Koryeons' were nothing but a mere pests in the giant's way.

While taking heavy fire from the enemy side, they retaliated back with their cannons, causing the Koryeons to suffer a scorching heat of the tanks' projectiles along with the massive force that pushed them from the projectiles' initial impact. As the Koryeon's defenses were weakened, it was enough for the general to lay out an 2nd move.

The Koryoan armed forces, being the notorious weaklings they have been since the last war, would be greatly crushed by the incoming Japanese in this nasty surprise. Not only were their equipments totally outdated, but they did not expect a sudden Japanese uprising complete with full military forces. One battle even had 9 mere Japanese soldiers gunning hundreds of Koryoans down.

Still, the Koryoans bravely and stubbornly fought against the Empire of Japan, resorting mostly to guerilla tactics. Sometimes, surprise assaults by guerrilla forces would emerge and firstly shower their foes with barrages of anti-tank rockets and fireballs, then raining down some bullets before fleeing again. Besides, explosive landmines -- enhanced with magik -- were laid on all over Koryoan-controlled lands and chokepoints cluttered.

Screaming their lungs into the thin air, they charged their way through the rocky terrain towards the Koryeon's trench with either their katana or magik-enhanced rifle in their hand, as several of Japanese infantries with their rifles fired at their enemies. Their general continued his battle cry to raise his men' morale for this battle.

Several battlemages of Koryo unleashed whirlwinds and tornadoes onto the incoming hordes of Japanese infantries and tanks, trying to hurt and block them.

And right at this moment, fleets of skyships and bombers from Peiyang (west of Korea and Japan) appeared in the high skies, bombarding the frenzied Japanese with clusters of bombs and energyballs. Several other fleets of airplanes flew by and paradropped battalions of Peiyangese troops to the fray. The Peiyangese troops would join the Koryoans once making landfall, reinforcing the Koryoan ranks.

Regardless, many Koryoan lives, and some Peiyangese lives, would still perish before the resurgent Japanese legions.

[h2]Second Pacific War -- 1[/h2]

It has been over a thousand years since the Pacific War, well the First Pacific War, because another Pacific War was imminent.

Massive fleets of naval ships and skyships, together with helicopters, submarines and rocketeers, were sailing their way to Japan. However, halfway they bumped onto the resurgent Japanese navy in the Sea of Japan. The Peiyangese fleets in the skies and waters immediately rained fire upon the Japanese warships.

Australia, India and Indonesia did not go through the Sea of Japan, instead passing through the vast waters of the Phillippines Sea. Unlike what they did to the Nanyangese, the Southern Entente largely ignored the massive Taiwanese fleets. The Taiwanese likewise also allowed the Southern Allies to pass through. Perhaps this fact might arouse suspicion in the Empire of Japan, and also in the fellow Empire of Nanyang in Royalist Whampoa.

With most Japanese naval forces stationed in the Sea of Japan, some Southern Allies managed to make landfall on the northeastern shores of Japan. The Southern Allied warships began bombarding the Japanese land forces, while several battalions rolled in from the transports.

[h2]A Tour in Shikoku[/h2]

To calm down the storms and to reassure the Taiwanese subjects in Shikoku, an official visit led by Archduchess Fatimah was arranged.

Upon her arrival in the Nara airport, Archduchess Fatimah was welcomed with happy cheers from the Taiwanese crowds. A few pro-Japanese groups, however, were not too pleased with this and they soon organized peaceful protests across Shikoku.

Escorted by elite battlemages and gunners, Archduchess Fatimah thus began touring around Shikoku beginning with the city of Nara.

[h2]The Mandate of Malaysia[/h2]

After conquering Malaya and Acheh from Royalist Whampoa, the Southern Allies has set up a joint military administration there. The Southern Allies hoped to use Mandatory Malaysia as their forward base in the war against Japan, and to later return these lands to the Malaysia in Borneo.

An official statement was published with the founding of the Mandate.

"The Empire of Australia, the Republic of India, and the Republic of Indonesia have jointly agreed to the founding of the Mandate of Malaysia, in favor of returning Malaya and Acheh to its rightful sovereign, the people of Malaysia. The Mandate would govern the lands of Malaya and Acheh, on behalf of the Federation of Malaysia, and would also be in charge of peacekeeping and development of the region for an unspecified period. It is clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Malaysian communities in Malaysia, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Malaysians in any other country."

The very first decree of the Mandate was renaming [b][u]Klungsberg[/u][/b] back into its old name, [b][u]Kuala Lumpur[/u][/b].

The people of Malaysia in Borneo have held many parties and gatherings, celebrating the long-awaited liberation of their western clays from the Whampoans. Many rallies were held all over Borneo and Malaya, with a ton of supporters cheering on the streets in hysteria. On the other hand, agitated Whampoans from all over the planet held counter-rallies in response. Both Whampoas objected to such a bold move from the Entente, but all their objections had fallen into deaf ears.

Not long afterwards, other place names would regain their old Malaysian names in the 20th century. [b]Gentingsberg[/b] would become [b]Genting Highlands[/b], [b]Bahruburg[/b] would be [b]Kota Bharu[/b], [b]Kimerun[/b] has turned [b]Cameron Highlands[/b], and [b]Juwelburg[/b] was once again [b]Johor Bahru[/b]. Although the Whampoan names continue to be used, mostly in unofficial occasions but sometimes in official occasions as well. Regardless, the restored Malaysian names for these cities irritated the Whampoans further.

[i]-- Somewhere in the desert, Australia[/i]

[quote=@Trackten]"Whatever you are, it's best for you to meet an foreign sentient in the polite way next time." the leading Mechan explorer said, "Beside, your puny weapons were no match for our technological capability."[/quote]

An Australian soldier replied, "Hey, we're being as nice as--"
"What's that noise, mate?!"

[quote]
From the portal, they heard a loud powerful roar of an engine, more louder than the convoys'. After some time later, a heavily-armed tank emerged out of the portal as it parks itself in front of the explorer and aimed its dual barrel towards the Australian army, showing its power and intimidation.

Australian #4 : "T-t-this... a-are we in a n-nightmare?!"
Australian #6 : "An alien invasion?! Seriously!?"

[quote]
"We are the [b]Colonial Forces of the Steel-Born Alliance[/b], nation of the dominant power under Hegemonic Uniocracy in our home-world." the explorer introduced to them, "From the discovery of our prototype warping device, we are sent to colonize the unknown world to greatly benefit our nation with abundance of resources for our means."
[/quote]

Australian #7 : "W-wha?! Colonial Forces...? Homeworld and warping... all these shits..."
Australian #5 : "Guess we'll--"
Australian #8 : "Hold up, maybe these robots have more to say..."

[quote]
"Whatever nation you're under with and knowing this land under the occupation of your nation, We'll give you a warning to your leader of this nation." the explorer said intimidatingly, "We're here to colonize this land as our first-step. You have two options: one, do not interfere with our actions and you may allow to flee and warn your leader about us. Or two, fight against us and we will take extreme measures against your nation."

"Carefully pick one option, sentient being.. " the explorer said, "However, the war is inevitable between the two of us, no matter the option you chose."
[/quote]

Australians : "Option One!"

The Australian patrols unleashed their fear, timidly fleeing from the scene upon finishing like chickens, as fast as humanly possible. These Australian patrols, with some live footages flimed from backups, would report this horrifying sighting to their superiors. Their immediate superiors were very shocked of this, and passed the report to higher ranks, rinse and repeat.

These reports somehow coincide with strange energy spikes somewhere in the deserts of Australia.

[h2]Second Pacific War -- 2[/h2]
[@Trackten]

Half of the Australian armed forces was pulled back from the war against Japan, due to terrific sightings of advanced cyborgs back in their homeland.

Additional Australians and Indonesians were regrouped in the newly conquered Acheh and Malaya. The Australians also prepared their secondary HQ in Kuala Lumpur, anticipating the worst from these otherworldly cyborgs.
