New HCE scenario - Operation Channel Watch

Post by CV32 »

Operation Channel Watch (aka GIU2)
by Palex80
The conflict between the ECON-India-Arab coalition in the summer of 2019 was the first event in a cascade that was to follow. Although the coalition managed to oust US forces from Pakistan, that success was only short-lived. The American counterattack using submarine launched cruise missiles and long-range bomber strikes out of Diego Garcia severely gutted the recovering Arab forces and rendered most of the oil terminals useless. The following CIA-backed insurgency in the Middle East brought the newly elected Arab governments to the brink of collapse. ECON and the US referred from directly attacking each other across the Atlantic and in May 2020 the Reykjavik peace treaty was finally signed.

The worse seemed to have been over, but then disaster stroke once again. The UK general election of 2022 ended in chaos after right-wing militant groups attacked voting stations, where strong results for the labour party were expected. The attacks seem to have been triggered after the labour party had declared its plan to initiate talks of the UK joining ECON again (after leaving the EU in 2018 in the first place). Whistle blowers revealed documents linking the CIA to the attacks; however solid evidence was never retrieved to back up this claim. Diplomatic tensions rose swiftly after that between the UK and ECON, with the UK Tory government declaring a state of emergency and asking for US military assistance to safeguard the British islands. This was the drop that spilled the cup, forcing ECON to intervene.
