Lexington, Okielahoma

The Okiean government appeared in shambles. Just three days earlier the Okiya peoples (the native peoples of Okielahoma) had created their own government at Yavayi. It wasnt the military aspect of the Okiya peoples that scared President Owen, it was the natural resources and terrain held by the Okiya. The Okiya peoples fled to the mountains in the 900's and knew the land like the back of their hands. Not only had the Okiya declared independence, but the Slavic peoples of the east had created a capital in Willinkiav City. The Okiean government was trying to be democratic and peaceful but these people...they wanted something more. The Okiya didnt have complete rights but, they didnt pay taxes! And no one knew what the Slavs yearned for, they had full rights and representation in Lexington. None of the ethnic groups were talking and this was going nowhere fast.

General Tangiha Ogibayho looked over the eastern mountains, gleaming in the dew of the early morning sun. Just over the peaks he could see a valley, teaming with activity and gleaming with metal. The government forces could wait, for now, Ogibayho was determined to strike a blow on the Okiya's most bitter ethinc rivals...
Slavs, Obibayho muttered under his breath. He turned to his advisor,
Have we still remained undetected?
Yes general, the Slavs have been to stupid to preform any reconaissance. Besides, they think it impossible that we cross Mt. Nohaiway.
Then they are fools indeed, for the Okiya people have crossed the great peakes with ease before.
Yes general, but they thought it impossible with all of our equipment.
How many Slavic troops are in the valley?
According to Siniya, around 42,000 conscrips.
Ogibayho swore. Any armor or howitzers?
Yessir. But not much. Siniya said around 15 tanks and about 20 artillery pieces.
That is alot for a force such as the one we have here. We must attack immediately, before they open on us with their big guns. What are the numbers of this force?
We have five T-80s, one T-72 and five 88mm howitzer.
Fine. How many men?
About 28,000 most with the 47s. A few machine gun crews, mortars, anti tank and recoilles rifles.
Alright. Order the men to make final preparations, check sights and tell them to pack lightly, no back packs but take all the ammunition possible.
The Slavs will never know what hit them...

Slavic commander Nizhi Yelshlin observed General Ogibahyo's every move through a pair of field glasses from a bunker in the valley below.
Do they think they are unnoticed?, he mused. The Slani Okiya are fools! They must think we doubt their mountainering ability. Those ignorant bastards. No matter we outnumber them everywhere and we are better prepared. We are imbedded in the town, it will take 100,000 Slani Okiya to knock us out. Intel puts their numbers at about 30,000. We shall destroy them.
Yelshlin's aid listened in silence and the asked,Shall we open up our big guns now?
Yes. Fire all the 88 howitzers we have onto the plateau. Catch them napping.
Yessir.
Yelshlin grinned as he thought about the damage he was going to strike and for his country! He would be a hero!

Lexington, Government territory

We have no army! After the last civil war the protection had been to occupying allies! They were the government's protection! The fate of Okielahoma no rests on the Crown Imperium. We must keep this nation together! Ogibahyo is bribeable, he has greed in his eye not Okiya sovereignty. We must attempt to bribe him. Where is he now?
He and the Slavs are shelling each other around Novoborisk.
And?
Light casualties at the moment. It all just started.
Ok send a telegram to Ogibahyo. Tell him we will support him. With money...
