Funny enough, they may not have even tried to get the Wymryn Republicans on board. I suspect that the Republicans from other nations contacted them to see if they were willing to help.
The Wyrmyn, of course, assure them that yeah, they want to help other Republicans.
Then they look at what the other groups are telling them, notice that these groups are waaaaay too coordinated and that they have diplomatic tier info, stuff that only a royal could have gotten. They put all the pieces together, follow the trail, see it's the Ochruhr, and immediately start REEEEing, since the only people worse than the monarchs are the Ochrurh monarchs who were legit shit at being rulers.
The other Wymryn Republican groups might not be willing to turn the information over to a government, but we've extended our olive branch, and actually made some effort at not being giant assholes, so our Wymryn Republicans decide they want to fuck over the Ochruhr monarchy more than they want to see us suffer.
And, well, here we are.

Why would we need to destroy the Most Ancient Kingdom Under God? We have the whole lowlands area to put the canal through. There would be a bit of a curve, but it would go near-ish to Redshore, Valleyhome, etc. and benefit from easier terrain for part of its journey.

You might want a look at the elevation map of the region IRL. Its sitting on the closest thing to level ground for a route vetween the middle east and egypt
I wonder how this debate went. Because they would have been very conflicted over this. Lots of screaming for sure, wouldn't be surprised if the matter caused division in the movement.

Apparently so. I'd assumed, based on the descriptions of it being incredibly mountainous and inhospitable, that it was otherwise.
Still can and should not invade them for the sake of the rail, though.

I imagine there was a lot of 'Who do we hate the most for that war' going on.
The Wymryn Republican that we saw noted that the Tortuns were blaming them for their defeat, and combined with the Ochruhr being Tortun + Monarchies + Even Bigger Assholes, it might have been enough to tip it over.
There's also the important fact that the Tortuns are refusing to recognize the Wyrmyn sacrifices, while the Dual Crown did. Because of that, there's probably a sense of strong anger at the Tortun right now, which outweighed the anger at us.
Because while we may have been the ones to kill their people, we only got involved because we felt threatened. And it's also been nearly 2 decades now since that wae, so memories have likely started to fade, and the Sorrow at Loss monument has let us shape the narrative to keep us from being villains to them. Add to that the ungratefulness of the Tortuns, and a lot of the younger Wyrmyn are likely starting to lean pro-Dual Crown.

Negaverse: The Ochruhr Conspiracy
Ten years of humiliation. Ten years of being the Laughingstock of Saffron. Ten years of being sneered at, of being snubbed at every corner, of watching helplessly as the bastards who profited the most made off like fucking bandits.
The Tortuns. The Sketch. The Stermer. The Hespranxer. The Halvini. The Kielmer. The Emarin. The Ital city states. The stuck up, puffed up city states in general.
Well. If there was anything positive, it was that bastard had died in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing of importance. Though Josef the III would have really liked to do the deed personally, he'd accept a random bout of mob violence doing the job for him.
"Sire, the latest reports are in."
Ah, there was the second bout of good news. Josef could even claim to be responsible for this bit.
"The Stermer Republicans are being quietly suppressed until we can compromise them more. The Ochruhr Republicans are now completely compromised. The Ital and Behrevar Republicans are mostly compromised. The Tortun Republicans are currently being compromised."
"Excellent work." Josef even meant it too; the culmination of one decade's toil, to wreak vengeance upon the traitors and restore the Ochruhr. It was a shame that the Behrevar had to be used like this, but they were most convenient, so it had to be done. The rest, though?
They could all burn in hell. Give the bastard some company, seeing how they all folded like cheap dresses.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, sire. There's a plot by the Vortugans and Hespranxer to strike against the Dual Monarchy."
"Tell me more," Josef said, grin slashing across his face. Another chance to strike at his enemies? This must be his lucky day.
"The Vortugans are enlisting the minor power Nohon into attacking the Dual Monarchy's Kyberian holdings, and coordinating a strike with the Hespranxer to strike at the Khemetri at the same time."
Josef's grin stretched his face. He didn't think he'd get to take a serious swing at the Dual Monarchy and the Hespranxer at the same time.
"Fantastic work. You may eat at the second table tomorrow. I'll be sure to make space there for you."
Through a surprising twist, the Ochruhr's intelligence services have discovered a Vortugan-Hespranxer plot against the Dual Monarchy! How do you take advantage?
