The Vyzinian Correction, known in Vyzinia as the Reversal (Vyzinian: Odwrócenie), was a 1969 military intervention undertaken by the Vierz Empire at the behest of Vyzinian Tarchist leader Zbigniew Wójcik to topple the reformist regime of Aleksy Jankowski after the death of Stojan Wójcik.

Tarchist Vyzinia had been ruled by Stojan Wójcik and his far-right National Front since 1926, with Wójcik's son Zbigniew being groomed as his successor. Stojan died in June 1969, and his final testament declared that his confidant Aleksy Jankowski would serve as a transitional prime minister for a temporary period until Zbigniew was prepared to rule. Jankowski desired political and social reforms and believed that Wójcik was ethically and politically unfit to rule, and thus reneged on his promise to be a temporary transition leader.

Wójcik made an appeal to the Vierz government of Jens Pohl, who then delivered an ultimatum to Jankowski on 15 July to resign within 24 hours or face direct intervention; he did not reply. Pohl authorized Operation Eastern Wind which would, in conjuction with Wójcik loyalists in Vyzinia, secure Welcow and find and arrest Jankowski and his followers. The 32nd Brigade of the Imperial Vierz Army and the 14th Brigade of of the Narodowa milicja entered and occupied Welcow on 16 July. The Special Operations Squadron of the Imperial Security Service captured both Jankowski and his deputy, Stefan Sekula, on 17 July, and turned them over to Vyzinian security services. Wincenty Bielecki, one of Jankowski's closest loyalists, was shot and killed by the Narodowa milicja after an attempt to flee.

The event represented a significant turning point in Silent War geopolitics. Vierzland could no longer count on its client states to be loyal on their own, and had to begin using violent force to keep its satellites in line.
