The Conflict[]
Opening Moves
At 6:26, massed Patagonian artillery opened fire on the border fortifications, while Patagonian aircraft attacked every airfield in southern Brazil.
Response
At the time of the declaration of war, Aztec Carrier Group 2, consisting of the carrier Nezahualcoyotlr, the light carrier Xochitl, one light cruiser and four destroyers, was sailing off the coast of Brazil. The presence of the fleet so close to Brazil sent shivers down the spines of the Brazilian high command. Both Aztecs and the United States declared themselves neutral at the opening of hostilities,
Nuclear Attack
With Brazilian forces approaching the capital Gut Lüftet, and the city of Rosenkranz fallen, it was time for drastic measures. The Patagonian Republic had a nuclear program going since the 70's. Several Atomic reactors were situated all over Patagonia, but the real prize was the atomic weapons program, which had only recently borne fruit. Now with Patagonian armies beaten and bleeding, it was time to use the bomb. A Ju Leufteit 387 Jet bomber took off from a military airfield near Gut Lüftet and flew towards Rio de Jainero. On December 14th 1981, at 13;07, the 35Kt Atom bomb detonated 600 metres above ground level.
Capture of Gut Lüftet
The ancient city of Gut Lüftet was besieged on December 22nd of 1981 by the Brazilian forces. Eight days later, on December 30th, the Patagonians surrendered to the Brazilians, so the war is also known as the ' ' New year's eve war ' '
