WAR DEBATE: Russian Federation (Pro) vs. China (Con)

I appreciate my opponent's skip, as a continuation would make the debate very confusing. However, I honestly think that the key parts of this war have already occurred and it's up to the voters to decide who performed better up until this point. Firstly, I would like to address the issue about HQ-9s. I quote my opponent from Round 2: "Naval HQ - 9s would be invernurable due to Russian disregard for the navy and would thus destroy the Tu- 160s before they can unload most of their bombs. " You said yourself you used naval HQ-9s. Secondly, about my "godmodding": 1) My opponent prepared no serious defenses from keeping me from going towards Beijing. There was no organized defense. I do see my opponent's sniper towers and while there's no clear date on their construction (my opponent said May 26-June 17), I'll assume that they were finished before my arrival. I apologize for ignoring this previously. In any case, I don't think sniper towers could stop such an onslaught, but I will concede that the Russian forces were hindered because of loss of several officers and other important personnel to snipers. 2) Essentially no further attempts have been made to cut my supply lines, I don't see the issue. Khabarosk is being reinforced non-stop by highway, air and railroad. Khabarosk uses AFVs and trucks to transport materials to the Harbin group, which is no longer growing significantly in size besides equipment like tanks and artillery. 3) On the subject of oil, yes, Saudi oil is important for the Chinese. However my opponent started to "look for new suppliers", as my opponent said, only a day before Russia cancelled shipments on May 27. This is no where near enough time to compensate for such an immediate loss of oil supply. This, however, isn't really critical right now. "I'm not sure how Russia would make an amphibous assualt and make it to Changde. Perhaps he meant Chengchun? " Be careful, I said "Chengde", not "Changde" and it is indeed what I meant. No amphibious invasion necessary as I moved by land from the North-East. . https://www.google.com..., Hebei, China/@40.9868296,115.7042288,7z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x35f50761790ca7e3:0xbf83c11f35a6edf1 I would also like to point out that my opponent seems to "spawn" soldiers out of no where. I take relatively realistic amounts time (essentially giving my opponent time to actually prepare defenses) to transport my troops and such. My opponent responds to my moves after they've happened by conjuring massive amounts of soldiers out of no where (having made no preparations prior to my move) to attack my men and totally destroy my force. This is quite unrealistic. Indeed I would "compromise on the success Russia could actually have" if my opponent actually predicted my movements (it's not like I have a lot of options anyways; it's why the defending side goes first in this style of debate), and prepared defenses and forces PRIOR to the Russian offensives. He, until the previous turn, almost totally ignored the Chinese mainland defenses, focusing on attacking Russian forces on Russian territory. This is why the Russian offensive was so successful. I'm not sure how much success my opponent expects to have with his "amphibious force" when attacking Chengde, considering that it's located over 50 miles from the coast. "Chinese reinforments came en masse from Beiijing with the Russians being outnumbered, out supplied, and outmanuvered. " Precisely what I was talking about before. Where did these reinforcements just come from? Not a single troop was set up by my opponent for the defense of Beijing. How could the Russians be "outnumbered, out supplied and out maneuvered" if my opponent's defense of Beijing started less than a week ago? No preparations were made prior to the arrival of the Russians to Chengde, how were the Russians "fighting entrenched Chinese that also were ready" ? A serious defense couldn't have been set up in such a short time span, especially against a force that has been being supplied and increasing in size for a month. Our ideas of the war and plans for it have diverged so significantly that I'm not going to continue to the turn. This is what we had at the end of the last turn: -Vladivostok under Chinese control. -Khabarosk under siege by Chinese. -Kamchatka under Chinese control. -Massive Russian attack force located 75-100 miles away from the center of Beijing, about 50-60 miles away from the outskirts. No defenses had been prepared by my opponent thus far (by end of last turn). Since my opponent has made no attempts (by the end of the last turn) to prepare, he would have three days at the most to prepare the city for defense against a very large offensive force, this is simply unrealistic. It is up to my opponent and the voters to decide how realistic my opponent's most recent moves were, but they seem totally unreasonable to me. Beijing would be crushed in less than a week, Chinese government removed, Manchuria effectively under Russian control as even forces in Shenyang would be surrounded. My opponent seems to be making assumptions that there are just massive Chinese armies waiting all around the country for the Russian forces to come around to attack them. This isn't how this debate style works, the commanders (you and I) have to actually say that defenses are being prepared here, forces are being sent there in advance otherwise we could just spawn big armies anytime, anywhere we need them. I'm sure the Chinese could pull together a pretty significant force (of infantry, at least) to Beijing before the Russians got there, but it wouldn't be enough given only 3 or so days. Also considering that the city would be under frequent artillery bombardment. The Chinese sent large forces to areas such as Vladivostok and Kamchatka (essentially a waste of time, equipment and manpower) that ceased to be relevant to the conflict as the Russians pushed through Manchuria. At this point, even if Khabarosk was to be captured, Beijing would still probably fall rather quickly because of the amount of Russian forces at the gates. The Chinese have a choice of trying to fend off the Russian force and die trying or to surrender before the city gets destroyed and massive casualties (civilian and military) are inflicted. I would like to emphasize once again that no serious defenses capable of withstanding the Russian group at Chengde could be constructed in the amount of time it would take that group to travel less than 100 miles to the heart of the city.
