Operation : Cleanse

Operation : Cleanse was Putnik's Assault on Karkland.

Cause
There are a few reasons that caused the operation. One was Karkland's hostility toward Putnik's Mercenaries. Another was that Putnik was always doing the work for Karkland while Karkland did nothing. In fact, Karkland posted propaganda potraying Putnik as the one that did nothing, while Karkland "showed them how it was done."

The Assault
First, Putnik cut off all supply lines to Karkland, thus weakening them. After a few days, Putnik put out a "No Mercy" protocol. This meant no exceptions, no forgiveness during the Assault. Then the forces stormed in. Since Putnik was a stronger nation, the Karkland resistance was easily crushed.

Durning Day One of the Assault, Putnik had burned nearly all oil fields and farm fields. All towns in the path were destroyed and/or burned.

On Day Two, the first cities were attacked. Citizens were slaughtered. Karkland had tried to destroy the bridges that led more inland, but it was too late. The Toxic Knights saved one of the bridges, and Putnik forces moved in.

On Day Three, the Sisterhood of Copper captured Karkland's last Orbital Strike Targeting Centers, and used them on Karkland's stratigic locations.

On Day Four, Putnik forces, TK, and SoC all surrounded the President's Palace. Within five days, Karkland had been conquered.

Aftermath
After Karkland had been conquered, it became part of Putnik. The name was still there, but it was officially part of Putnik. However, everything was rebuilt in Putnik style, the Government was made up of Putnik officials, and so on. The Conglomerate and Arthomia saw the Assault as a barbaric act, but when Putnik showed them the cause, both countries agreed that Karkland did, in fact, deserve what Putnik did. Each country got a share of the resources.
