= The Second Emmanuel Civil-War =

The Years After the First Civil War
After the First Emmanuel Civil-War in 2026, multiple security measures where passed at federal level by members of the 'security and welfare caucus' led by future president Poppy Griffin and future Head of the Military Michael Bradford. These measures saw extreme opposition by the King of Aquataine, Trenton Jude Williams, and the secretary of trade one Johnathan Nluong (Both of whom would form an opposition alliance in the houses of government).

The reason for the extreme rejection by a number of government members was the fact they saw these negatively effecting the ability of Emmanuel's citizens wellbeing and day to day life. However, although the opposition was great and caused major division in public life for the citizens, the reasons for opposition would get rejected in every motion presented in both house of government and even the courts by the executive council and newly elected President Poppy 'Griffin' with this culminating in the withdrawal of The Kingdom of Aquataine from the federal structure.

The Withdrawal of the Kingdom of Aquataine and its impacts on Emmanuel
When the Kingdom of Aquataine withdrew from the Federal structure in December 2027, it caused major humiliation for the National People's Front as the withdrawal of the Kingdom of Aquataine led to the economy, education/scientific, civil services and military aspects of the Federal government to completely collapse as a majority of the high ranking non-political officials were from the Kingdom.

This caused the period dubbed the 200 days of reform to start in Emmanuel as position which were voided by the sudden withdrawal of the Kingdom of Aquataine and all her citizens from the federal structure. This action led to certain position being removed particularly those in relation to the protection of public and private separation, with the remaining positions in the civil and military services being filled with political puppets and friendly figure-heads in order to guarantee complete control over the society and public practices all but removing the need for a legislator and removing all power by which the opposition had embraced till this point. These actions lead to the many arrest the most notable of which, where, Emmanuel Senate opposition leader Milan Ivecivic and former vice-admiral Peter Wright with the latter being trialled and executed whilst the former was granted immunity by The Head of the Emmanuel state Michael Bradford after a request was made by the Head of the Civil Service for the Kingdom of Aquataine Kristjan Antasov for him to be spared.

The Creation of a new state
After the withdrawal of the Kingdom of Aquataine as well as the allocation for several prominent figure-heads in the opposition court to be allowed to join the new state, several emergency executive meetings were held in order to discuss possible actions which would allow for a more favourable balance of power to be make a favourable balance of power with the new nation. After almost seven weeks of discussion the creation of a new independent nation in name alone that would be headed by a puppet figurehead with the state being order to be formalised as a military junta which would only try and produce and equip a large fighting force and nothing else in order to threaten the new state of Aquataine.

After the state was created on paper the decision of new leader for the new state was long and hard with the final decision being made that officially Gabriel shall be the head of state and the military whilst in reality the government and state shall be headed by Millar Rank.

This new state spent huge capital and land resources on the creation of a vast military industrial and societal complex that primarily focused upon numbers produced instead of quality of items produced leading to the military equipment used by the soldiers of this military facing high rates of attrition and equipment malfunction. This state would see the highest proportion of active military personnel to the population, as the state would implement a mandatory period of national active and reserve service for everyone capable of military service from the ages of 17-27, this action lead to the economy of the new state to become almost entirely reliant on foreign aid and support from the Emmanuel government and even surprisingly from the Kingdom of Aquataine, as King Trenton and Prime-Minister Kristjan believed a policy of active diplomatic efforts would help subdue calls for a revolution and instead encourage efforts for a peace resolution.

The home grown threat
After the arrest of several opposition leaders a new secret militia was formed by civilian's with a major part of this militia being formed and housed in the major urban areas in which the Emmanuel government had placed the bases for several key institution. These new militia groups would be directly funded by Noah Murray a prominent military industry tycoon and indirectly funded by Caleb Rogerson using black-funds and would even order the training of several forces to become professional soldiers, these actions saw further intensity after the creation of the new state called the 'Federal Conservative People's Alliance' which almost everyone saw as a direct act of opposition to the creation of new state in the Kingdom of Aquataine.

After the formation of the new state to oppose the Kingdom of Aquataine the King Trenton Jude Williams gave an official order to Field Marshal Caleb Rogerson to begin a rapid but highly secretive campaign of organising, training and equipping the militia into a coherent fighting force capable of skirmishing and prolonged engagements with the Emmanuel army in order to allow for the Royal Army of Aquataine and Royal Marines to engage in a decisive battles which would see the better trained, equipped, lead and feed Royal Army to defeat the Emmanuel Army which was nearly one and a half times bigger than it.

Surprisingly although the militia was huge and saw massive capital and recourse allocation by an adversary foreign power, the intelligence and security forces of Emmanuel did not manage at any level to find these militia leading to the government believing that they where capable of completely entrapping the population of Emmanuel in their governance and further more that if war was to break out in a revolution than it would be an easy victory as the lack of soldiers would allow the weakened yet still capable fighting force of Emmanuel to easily and effectively take command and destroy the revolution.

First Blood
On the 13th of August 2029 the ambassador from Emmanuel to The Kingdom of Aquataine then "Honourable" Harry Randall delivered a message from the office of president and the foreign sectary of Emmanuel to The parliament of Aquataine. The message which was delivered to parliament by the ambassador laid out a declaration of war against the state which lead to the Emmanuel air force bombing multiple civil and military centres with it being believed that in some cities on the border lost as much as 50% of its population in these first four hours.

These attacks although in a state of war were seen as unprovoked by the Royal court and so Trenton order that all reserves were to be called up for recovery and defence of the home land whilst Field Marshall Rogerson and Noah Murray lead an effective counter-attack in order to begin widening the distance between the citizens of Aquataine and Emmanuel bombs. The counter offensive would not happen immediately but instead a rapid build up of over 500,000 soldiers into 4 army groups would be initiated, although would be delayed by a few weeks after the entrance of the Federal Conservative People's Alliance which caused over 60,000 soldiers to be redirected from interior operations to join the offensive as a part of the 5th Royal Army Group which instead of joining an offensive with the other army groups against the foreign powers would defend the border from incursion from the new enemy.

The first three days of fighting in the war would see over 15,000 dead and 187,000 injured with a further 850,000 displaced from the violence on both sides, these facts would be expanded by the fighting in the first battle of the war, that being the battle of the river Crusaine which saw 18,500 regulars and 20,000 militia men from the Kingdom of Aquataine defended for 64 hours against a force of 40,500 regulars and 76,500 militia men and would ultimately lead to the withdrawal of all citizens and even most of the Royal forces from the cities and towns. This battle would lead to the death of a believed 3,500 Royal soldiers and 9,000 Emmanuel soldiers, with this battle including 789 civilian deaths and over 98,500 injured from both sides.

The Battle of the River Crusaine would also mark the difference in fighting and convention between both forces as the Royal troops would fight till the last man in most areas with them maintaining discipline in the mean time, whilst in comparison the forces of Emmanuel with their new officers would often breakdown and lose discipline as over 2,500 buildings where ransacked during the course of the battle and even in the midst of battle the soldiers of the army would often disobey and refuse orders from officers which lead to thousands of casualties.
