 Operation Chokehold. 
 
 In the midst of the Great War, the leading military superpower, England, decided that the best way to halt the war machine of the European armies was to take control of all the resources on the European continent, in a worldwide operation called operation chokehold. 
 
 The 1st and 2nd Parachute Regiments wrested control of the Babylonian oil fields from them after 2 months of heavy fighting, and with the support of the Mediterranean Carrier Group, which was diverted from ongoing operations near Greece. The Household Cavalry and Cold stream Guards captured the German cities of Frankfurt and Leipzig in a combined arm assault, crushing German resistance quickly with overwhelming artillery and air support, and taking control of vital uranium mines and reserves. 
 
 However, the Household Cavalry were cut off when France declared war on England, resulting in Frankfurt being besieged for 6 months until their relief by Princess Charlotte's Own Gurkha Rifles. Multiple attempted French and German assaults were thwarted by superior air and artillery support from organic artillery elements and bomber wings staging from Gibraltar. 
 
 However, the biggest battle of the worldwide offensive was fought by the brave men of the Royal Marines of the Quick Reaction Force, in the capture and subsequent defence of the city of Stockholm. The Scandinavian city of Stockholm, near the West coast of the African continent was the only source of aluminium on the European continent, therefore it was a priority for the overstretched forces of the British military. 
 
 The Royal Navy Quick Reaction Force was despatched from Cuba, comprising the carrier RSC Invincible, 10 cruisers and destoyers, and 8500 men of the Royal Marines on transports. Crucial military elements of the Viking city were destroyed, and 3 Commando Brigade captured the city after minimal fighting, as there was merely a battalion defending the city. However, the Mongol army declared war on England shortly after due to the then secret Temujin Treaty, and destroyed half of the English Fleet just outside Mongol waters, causing them to withdraw. The Mongol armies outnumbered the Royal Marines 10 to 1, and the QRF had been cut off from all resupply and support save for long range bombers staging out of Diego Garcia. 
 
 The following battle of Stockholm resulted in the near total destruction of the city, and the Mongol armies were beaten off by tactical nukes launched by the RMS Trafalgar, but the QRF sustained 50 % casualties before the Queen approved the use of nuclear weapons. 
 
 Overall, Operation Chokehold was a success, resulting in the European war machine grinding to a halt due to the lack of resources.
