Prelude

Bind-Vittish Relationship

In the years leading up to and during the Pan-Stoldavic War, under the rule of Gwretaido Prawiros Ghruxhuorsunus, Vittmark enjoyed significant covert support from the Bind. This support was channeled through the Vittish proxy of Fisks. Wolgos-manufactured artillery, machinery, ammunition, and arms, rebranded with Vittish insignia, were transported in large quantities to Vittmark via the Arctic trade routes. This aid was crucial in enabling Vittmark to keep Haeverist forces at bay and assert its claims and territorial integrity during the war.

The aid from the Bind came with political strings attached. Covertly, the Vittish government had to encourage politicians and the media to question the legitimacy of Haeverist control over Rissland, portraying their rule as an occupation to the rest of Anaria. The aim was not to support the Wolgos claim, which was untenable across Anaria, but to advocate for a free Eokoesr state. This strategy helped sow discord and weaken the Haeverist position, aligning with the Bind’s broader geopolitical interests.

The relationship between the Bind and Vittmark continued into the early stages of the Wolgos Scourge. Vittish politicians and newspapers played a key role in depicting the initial phase of the Scourge as a conflict confined to Altaia between the Wolgos and Haeverists. This narrative helped soothe concerns across Anaria, buying the Wolgos more time and room to maneuver. However, this facade of a strong relationship began to crumble with the invasion of Cassia, the southern native nations, and the blocking of the Winthorp Strait. The illusion of cooperation abruptly ended with the severing of the Fisk air route and the subsequent invasion of the Fisk islands, signaling a clear and final break between Vittmark and the Bind.

Burning Wall Doctrine

The Burning Wall Doctrine was a comprehensive war and foreign policy strategy employed by the Bind, characterized by an aggressive, all-encompassing military approach designed to rapidly and deeply penetrate neighbouring territories. This doctrine envisioned the Bind, once bolstered by an immense industrial military build-up, launching a series of overwhelming shock and awe attacks across all its borders. The primary goal was to establish a relentless, expanding front that would continuously push outward, engulfing and consuming neighbouring regions in a bid to subjugate the entire globe under Wolgos rule—a lofty and hubristic ambition pursued under the leadership of Gwretaido Prawiros Bhérh3ih2osonos.

The doctrine began with a massive, coordinated military offensive aimed at achieving rapid and decisive victories. Utilizing the full might of the Bind’s industrialized military, including advanced weaponry, mechanized infantry, and air support, the initial attacks were designed to overwhelm enemy defences and create deep incursions into their territories. Once the initial offensive established a foothold, the Bind transitioned into a state of total and unending war, mobilizing all available resources, both military and civilian, to sustain the war effort. The economy, society, and government were all geared towards supporting the continuous expansion and maintenance of the war front.

A critical aspect of the Burning Wall Doctrine was the concept of the "burning wall," referring to the Bind’s borders, which were in a constant state of aggressive expansion. The doctrine emphasized relentless pressure on all fronts, ensuring that the Bind's influence and control steadily extended into neighbouring territories. This slow-burning advance was intended to consume and integrate these regions into the Bind over time. To achieve this, the Bind invested heavily in a significant industrial build-up, producing vast quantities of arms, ammunition, machinery, and other military supplies. This industrial base was meant to ensure that the military could sustain prolonged campaigns and maintain the intensity of the offensive.

As the Bind’s forces advanced, they were meant to establish fortified positions and supply lines, effectively digging in to secure newly acquired territories. This strategic entrenchment in theory helped solidify gains and created a resilient front that could withstand counterattacks, thereby maintaining the momentum of the expansion. The doctrine also incorporated elements of brutal psychological warfare aimed at demoralizing enemy populations and military forces. The initial shock and awe attacks, combined with the unending nature of the conflict, were designed to break the will of the opposing nations, making resistance seem futile.

The Burning Wall Doctrine also had a grim and brutal component concerning the fate of conquered populations. Those who fell under Wolgos control were faced with enslavement or extermination. Newly conquered territories were quickly integrated into the Bind’s war economy. Resources from these regions, including raw materials and labour, were assimilated to support the ongoing military campaigns, creating a self-sustaining cycle of expansion and exploitation. The continuous state of war created a dynamic and ever-changing front, which not only served to weaken and fragment opposing states but also allowed the Bind to adapt and refine its military strategies in real-time.

In essence, the Burning Wall Doctrine represented an ambitious and ruthless vision for the Bind’s future, leveraging its industrial and military capabilities to subjugate humanity under Wolgos rule. This strategy aimed not just for regional dominance but for global conquest, using relentless warfare and brutal tactics to enforce the Bind's supremacy. Under the rule of Gwretaido Prawiros Bhérh3ih2osonos, this hubristic ambition was pursued with unwavering determination, leaving a lasting impact on the geopolitical landscape.
