Operation Total was the codename for the Neocon Invasion of the Erebonian Empire, which started in 12 July 2035. The operation put into action the Neocons ideological goal of creating a world government dictated by their means, subjugating those who did not agree with their views, and knocking the Heimdallr Council out of the war by rendering its leading nation unable to wage war by subjugating the Erebonian countryside, which would force the Heimdallr forces to sue for peace and accept Neocon rule. In addition, Erebonia's occupation meant that the Neocons would be able to launch a seabourne invasion of Europa and the Lucis Isles. Their ultimate goal included the end of East Europa, purification of non-Neocon ideologies, and the extinction of Europa's ruling families.
The plan for the invasion of Erebonia involved activating several Selucid artifacts that would put the tide of the battle in favour of the Neocons. As a result, the Neocons activated the artifacts, including the Staff of Seleucus, which drastically plunged Erebonia without much sunlight. The plan called for the Erebonian populace to starve into surrender. However, the Heimdallr forces were well-prepared for the event and managed to stock up on supplies prior to the invasion. When this plan failed, the Neocons moved to the second phase, which was direct engagement whilst being supported by the Artifact's powers. Despite giving the Neocons somewhat of an advantage, the Heimdallr forces successfully shifted their strategy of waging an intense guerilla warfare behind enemy lines with the help of the East Europan Partisans who remained in Neocon-controlled East Europa to wage partisan warfare throughout the land and to cripple Neocon supply lines.
The Neocons were shocked that Erebonian resistance to invaders was high. The Erebonians adapted well into the thick forestation of their land. This caused the advance of the Neocons to slow down enough for the arrival of the Erebonian Winter. In addition, Erebonia's heavy forestry, as well as mountainous and rocky terrain favoured the Allies. Field Marshal Kiriya Kitagawa opted that the Allies must conduct a combination of Guerilla tactics and regular infantry attacks and raids to slow the Neocons in time for the Winter. Attempts were made by the Neocons to change and end the Erebonian Winter by the use of the Chronodotic Tablet. However, by November 2035, the power of the Tablet began to be too unstable that instead of doing the opposite, the Winter weather became worse and worse, causing the 2035 Scandinavian Frost with temperatures dropping to a −30 °C. This caused the Necon forces to stop short of the capital, Heimdallr. The Heimdallr forces would immediately launch a counteroffensive to force the Neocons to retreat from the Heimdallr province by 14 December 2035 with the Battle of Heimdallr and the subsequent Allied Winter Counteroffensive of 2035-2036.
The Neocons had confidently expected a quick collapse of Erebonian resistance as with the rest of their conquests with the help of the Seleucid artifacts, but the unstable energy caused by repeated abuse by the Neocons caused them to release one of the worst blizzards in history and the Heimdallr forces absorbed the Neocon forces strongest blows and capitalised on the strong blizzard, and bogged it down in a war of attrition, for which the Neocons were unprepared. The lack of food, winter clothing, and crippled supply lines meant that the Neocon's diminished forces could no longer attack along the entire Zemurian Front, which resulted in the Neocon Forces retreat and collapse.
Background
In the eve of 2033, the year marked the beginning of the peak of the Neocon influence across Eordis. Many civilians and personalities in Neocon countries were influenced and inspired by committing their cause to the war effort. The Neocons drove up propaganda against the Heimdallr Council following its complete take over of the Democratic East Europan Union. The leaders drew up ideas of potentially invading the Erebonian Empire as the final objective of defeating the Heimdallr forces for good. Concordian President Robert Starkweather suggested that only by the take over of key Heimdallr nations of Basel-Ebel, Rhodeia, and the Holy Galbadian Empire could they ever proceed in commencing the ambitious invasion. As such, by the following year, the corresponding nations were invaded but much to the Neocons shock, the three nations stood firm and held defensive lines. Although the Neocons saw some success, they largely failed in their most important objective for Africanna, to reach the Cape of Blessed Hope. As with various Neocon propaganda, they covered up the losses in order to maintain the momentum of the recruitment drive.
At about the same year, the Gneisenau Partisans intensified its guerrilla campaign against the Neocons as surviving rabbles of DEEU forces united and formed formations that often harassed Neocon lines. This heavily caused much problems for the Neocons and continuous use of Selucid artifacts was seen as the solution to putting down the partisans for good but even with its use, the Partisans grew stronger. Later that year, the Meeting at Hanoi was launched in an attempt to convince the now-neutral nations of Ingelmia and the Guadosalam Federation to join the war on the side of the Neocons. Despite the Neocons best offers to persuade its leaders, the two nations refused thanks to the information sent by Field Marshal Kiriya Kitagawa to the two nations, which largely robbed the Neocons of its opportunity to finish the Heimdallr forces in South Amerigonna, Oceania, and Africanna for good. Although several Neocon leaders suggested the invasion of the two nations to install puppet governments, this was largely seen as unfeasible, given the Neocons were already having problems in Scandinavia, Europa, Africanna, and Asianna.
In late 2034. the late trace of Pro-Neocon movements in Heimdallr nations had been completely wiped out as key leaders surrendered. Although these leaders appealed for aid, it was to never materialise. The political groups were dissolved and its members arrested and trialled for treason. This ended the only opportunity for the Neocon leaders to incite various pro-Neocon rebellions behind Heimdallr lines. As a result, they moved to the phase of invading the root of all the Neocon's problems, the Erebonian Empire itself.
