Pan-Eurasian War (New Japanese Expansion)

Overview

The Pan-Eurasian War can be considered a series of conflicts between rival European and Asian Interests, the Three-Day War only an offshoot of lesser importance. The two wars had similar motivations. Both were spurred by the desire for more resources in Asia, fueled by the new economic strength of Eastern Asia, now united under three nations: The Republic of Southeast Asia, the Taiping Empire and the Japanese Empire. The Taiping Empire, smarting from its inconclusive war with Everett, remained a backstage player until near the end of the war. Unlike the Three-days war, the Pan-Eurasian War did not bring many new methods of warfare, and indeed was solved simply through brute force. However, its scale was far larger and the prospects of a nuclear war far closer than ever the tension between the Taiping and Everetti Governments Justified. The Pan-Eurasian War put an end to the growth of the Eastern Asian Nations - but it also demonstrated the newfound unity of all of East Asia and the nation of Siberia.

The Sides

The Pan-Eurasian War was primarily divided between two Groups. The Zulkavitan and Russian Forces occupied one side. While Russia's military was something to be feared, increased corruption and inefficient bureaucracy, followed by the belief that no nation would challenge one of the most powerful nuclear nations in the world left Russia in a state unprepared for war. Zulkavita, a Junta based in military strength, though, proved far more effective despite its recent war with the Fourth Reich. One might think that the Zulkavitan army, having taken the bulk of the losses, did worse. But Zulkavita's achievements are only adequately seen when compared to their rivals. What Zulkavita faced was essentially all of Asia. The Japanese Empire, in control of the Population Centers of China, Korea and (obviously) Japan, had allied with its former foes in the Nation of New Siberia (which, on its creation, managed to secure some nuclear weapons), the Republic of Southeast Asia, and in the Holy Empire of Taiping (who, despite its weakness after the Three-days war, retained the massive Economic muscle to keep the war machine going). Put together, the three nations had the largest population in the world, and each of them were military prepared for war. In addition, the Japanese Empire had secured an ally in Europe through New Lyon, while the Taiping Empire's friendliness with the British Government prevented too much Interference. Thus were the pieces played, mainly on the side of the East Asian Nations.

You may retake the other areas we have seized and once again, impose your awful and imperial rule on them. I also want my brother back.

• The Imperial fleet has been last seen in the arctic circle.
• A platoon of Taiping Infiltration squads sneak into Zukavitan capital and plant lots of C4, that are well hidden.

• As the city has been evacuated, and there are no civilians to injure, one C4 is detonated to demonstrate. It injures two soldiers, though there are no deaths. The rest of the C4 will be detonated,destroying the Zulkavitan capital, and it will be done without any qualms of harming innocent lives, due to the evacuation, unless the Zulkavitan forces withdraw.
• President Andrei Miadiko then releases a statement, saying 'Cities do get destroyed but they are rebuilt. So I say to the terrorists who deployed the explosives in Minsk, you may have the city under ransom but we will not give you the ransom. Go ahead and destroy the city - We shall rebuild it once this defensive war is won or done with'. He withdraws all his troops, due to the advice given by his advisors. The city of Minsk had basically become a ghost town.
• Emperor Li Yun later replies stating "Terrorists are those who create terror and destroy innocent lives, neither of which the Taiping Empire has done. Rather, it is Zulkavita, who attacked the New Japanese Empire and Russia, who instated terror by dropping a nuclear bomb in the desert and a fake one in the city, who resemble more like terrorists."

If, and when, it is captured, the Imperial Nation of Siberia will deploy several submarines and Battleships. (Major General Alexi Zarakovic and his brother both "suffer" from a rare syndrome which prohibits them from feeling pain. They can still be killed, but they won't even feel anything. Because of this, they are immune to torture.)
• New Lyonian armies withing Grodno are gaining a slight upper hand, yet unfortunatly are stalemated in Brest.
• Meanwhile, the situation is getting so critical for Zulkavita that the Zulkavitan 3rd Guards Army is mobilized. Defence Minister Lyudishivoy then sends the Zulkavitan 1st Guards Army to Grodno, while the 2nd Guards Army is sent to Brest and the 3rd Guards Army is sent to Dnipropetrovsk. General Pavel Torrmasnin, commander of the 3rd Guards Army is issued with the order to "hold Dnipropetrovsk to it's last Corps, it's last Division, it's last regiment, lt's last brigade, it's last battalion, it's last company, it's last platoon and it's last man".

• Russian forces ambush Japanese troops as they travel to Zulkavita. Russian fighters bombard Japanese forces. Rocket attacks kill hundreds. Roads and highways littered with mines detonate as Japanese forces travel across Russian territory. Meanwhile, Russian forces surround St. Petersburg and begin air strikes against Taiping positions. The Russian President announces that he will use a new tactic never before seen in combat if Japan and Taiping do not cease their invasions. "We will not let our great nation fall into the hands of these people. I call on evey able bodied man to come to his local military base and join the war to liberate our land."

The Parliament has also agreed to let refugees from both Zulkavita and Russia enter New Germany and stay in camps set up in the countryside for as long as the war persists. On the same day, Parliament makes New Germany a no-fly zone except for aid planes, New German fighters and civilian aircraft.
• Russian Spetsnaz pull the plug on Zulkavitan power plants leaving all of Zulkavita and Russia blacked out. Air force strikes have ceased and all has gone silent. As the sun rises in Russia, four missiles are launched. One explodes at 25,000 feet over the Imperial Nation of Siberia. Another detonates 25,000 feet over Japanese controlled Russia. A third detonates 20,000 feet over Russia and Zulkavita. A fourth 40,000 feet over Japanese controlled China. The nuclear explosions generate an electro-magnetic pulse that streaks across the northern Asian continent, wiping out every form of electrical equipment. Fighter and bombers from the attacking nations fall out of the air. Tanks, vehicles, droids and frames shutdown from the EMP blast, all of the circutry fried. The entire northwest section of the Japanese Empire has lost electricity. The Imperial Nation of Siberia has also lost electricity and nearly everything has been brought to a halt. As the EMP wave fades, Russian and Zulkavitan power plants are turned back on. Other countries are hit by the EMP, such as Georgia and the United Kingdom of Scandinavia's Finland area, losing all power. Russian forces storm St. Petersburg, while the ambush forces attack disabled lines of Japanese troops.
• United Kingdom of Scandinavia sends troops to Finland to maintain order during the blackout, as well as to protect its border. In a speech, King Axel Gustaf urges patience during the crisis, and reiterated the country's neutral stance during the crisis.

• Then as all this is going on, as the power plants are turned back on, Zulkavita's 1st Guards Army launches Operation Urban Thunder, a large full scale counterattack against Grodno. The Zulkavitan 2nd Guards Army begins Operation Scorching Javelin, a offensive aimed to retake Brest. The 3rd Guards Army meanwhile begins an offensive of it's own, Operation Iron Storm, a classic Blitzkrieg styled attack and the 4th Guards Army, is still undergoing training, but is almost ready. The Zulkavitan Ministry of Defence releases a statement that ever since the 4th Guards Army was hit by EMP, Zulkavita's military had been making preparations for an EMP attack. And it did work in some cases. They used the blackout and the EMP attacks to their advantage by turning off their equipment before the EMP attacks and then after, they launched their attacks.
