===January===
====19-20====
*January 19-20, 2038 - World War III: A problematic computer bug resulted in missiles being launched from Sichuan, a heavily unstable China, plagued by pro-democracy riots since November 2037 against the CCP, striking locations in the US West Coast, such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Honolulu & Anchorage. The US Secretary of Defense, Eren Finch, informs US President Jayden Lars, leading the country after his victory in the 2036 Presidential election, and he replies with 3 infamous words. "Beijing Will Pay."
**Immediately, he informs the NATO HQ in Brussels about the situation. The Y2K38 Bug also causes China's missiles to hit South Korea, Japan, Australia & India. Further exacerbating the problems, was that India had engaged in a border skirmish with the Pakistani army in Kashmir with the Indians just 5 days prior, starting the Second Indo-Pakistani War. 
**Meanwhile, Premier Wei Zhenbao of China contacts a now 86-year-old Putin. Putin is enraged, and orders Donetsk & Luhanks to invade Ukraine, whilst he ordered the army to invade the Baltics & Norway. He also orders nuclear strikes on strategic European cities that NATO & the EU could use, such as Berlin (the seat of Germany, which possesses an army that could halt the Russian advance), Paris (capital of France, a nation armed with nuclear weapons), Rome (capital of Italy, where NATO could use to launch airstrikes to Serbia, a Russian ally), London (capital of the UK, a nuclear-armed nation) & Brussels (where the NATO supreme command is located, and the capital of the European Union). Italy & Germany collapsed, as both Italian Prime Minister Massimo Giorgio & German Chancellor Walter Kurtz are unable to flee their seats. French President Gabriel Girard flees for Corsica, while UK Prime Minister Sir Michael Howards commits suicide at 10 Downing Street. 
**In Africa, the situation is more the less the same. South Africa, ruled by an authoritarian government since 2026 following the South African Revolution, assisted by far-leftist governments in Mozambique, Madagascar, Namibia, Zambia, Malawi, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Algeria & the DRC, invade the East African Federation. Meanwhile, Egypt also comes under attack from Libya & Sudan, due to it being an ally of the East African Federation. In the Middle East, Turkey is bombarded by nuclear weapons, whilst Iran and a coalition of Arab countries invade Israel.
**Turkey is also invaded, being seen as an Israeli ally. Putin also orders Serbian President Vasilev Lajčák to pledge alliance to Moscow and invade Kosovo & Bosnia, whilst annexing Republika Srpska. Belgrade accepts and invades Kosovo & Bosnia. The Albanians attempt to intervene, but Tirana is hit by a nuclear weapon, killing Albanian PM Roland Bici. 
====21==== 
*January 21, 2038 - End of World War III: The war's over. The nuclear arsenal of both the West & the East had been fully depleted, with the only remaining fighting being infantry skirmishes between surviving military factions in Africa, Southeast Asia & Alaska. Most of Western & Eastern leadership is dead or hiding in bunkers, cowering. US President Jayden Lars commits suicide by a snub nose revolver, whereas Putin begins to go insane. Zhenbao's VTOL crashed near Tongliao, Inner Mongolia, after the city was hit by a nuke. Search & Rescue teams found a severely injured Wei Zhenbao. Due to being seriously injured, he carries over his duties to his 27-year-old son, Huang Zhenbao.
