### Foundation

After the Empire of the Rising Sun was utterly defeated, China, as the largest part of the Imperial colony, inevitably walked on the path to independence. Initially, a unified state with western democratic parliamentary government was founded. But the state was soon torn by warlords and different interest groups.

In north China, where most of the heavy industries and working class are located, the resistance movement and partisans were very popular. The partisans had rejected to collaborate with Japan, but they were also viewed as bandits by the middle and upper class. For the poor people, they had been excluded from public service by Japanese and collaborators, and now by the upper-middle class. By regional election and armed struggle, the leftists and partisans formed their own government and armed forces in the north, named the United People Government, aiming to spread the revolution to the entire China.

In the south, where lived most of the middle and upper class, nationalism movement was very welcome. The newly elected premier, Youhua Chen, had been a so-called establishment-oriented opposition in the colonial government's parliament, who emphasized the rule of law and nationalism.

#### United People Government

The United People Government of the Republic of China is the first unified regime in North China in this era. Comparing to other Eastern Asian countries in which one party had the dominant power to lead the revolution, the power that guided socialism revolution in China was much more dispersal. It constituted different factions of leftists, from the moderate social democrats to the radical ideology supporters, like syndicalists and orthodox Marxists. In Vietnam and Malay Peninsula, the local communist parties were not really leading a struggle against capitalism, but a tough fight for national independence. In China, with overwhelming highly educated workers, huge wealth gap and the withdrawal of Japan, the orthodox leftist narration came into effect.

### Civil War

Before the civil war, the Republic of China was a house divided. In the north, the crucial suppression and exploitation made it the region where the leftist partisans mostly active. In the prosperous coastal cities of the southeastern China, the Empire sowed the seed of separatism by education and propaganda. In the countryside, gangs and bandits dominated everything. After Japanese evacuating from China, the leftist partisans formed their own government, and so did the southern nationalists. While the leftists embraced the progressive ideas and tried to build up a new world, the nationalists wished to revive the culture that once symbolised China in history, such as religion, traditional ethnics and values.

But the most important factor that led to the civil war is still the power distribution and armed forces. The leftist regime accumulated armed forces since the partisan era, and it was supported by COS. The nationalist regime inherited most of the regular army from the colonial government.

#### Shanghai Commune

Movement of Shanghai Commune is now known as the most critical event that triggered the civil war. At the beginning, this movement was led by students and it called for anti-corruption. When the leftists participated in the movement, workers and students were organized to protest against the authority and occupy the local government building, calling for democratic reform or revolution. The movement soon spread to other cities around the country. As the government of republic ordered general Yaohua Li's troops to supress the rebellion, the United People government declared a war to the republic, announcing that supporting the proletarian's armed struggle is their duty.

#### Ambush

At the very beginning, the Red Army blitzed the defense of the South by superior armour forces and Air force. In the first week, most of the military aircraft of the south were destroyed in the airports. In the plain regions to the north of Huai River, the Red Army annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies.

#### Great Wall Plan

In this most dangerous moment, the republican government in the south decided to execute the "Great Wall" plan, using toxic gas, bioweapon, mines, nano swarms and bombs to create an unpassable region to stop the Red Army. Furthermore, several important dams were manually destroyed by the southern army, making tens of millions of people displaced. Due to insufficient supplies and the lack of chemical defense equipment, the Red Army was unable to continue attack for two months.

In these two months, the South nationalist government sought aid from Chinese people around the world. In New York, the then premier Youhua Chen played the video that the anarchists and communists were destroying one of the most prestigious ancient palaces and gave a touching speech to the people, which won the sympathy of the American Chinese present. As a result, the Chinese who lived in Southeastern Asia and America lent a helping hand to the nationalist government, such that the South could stabilize the collapsing economy and rebuild the army. The Empire of Japan also offered help to the South by sharing the intelligence network and sending officers to help train the army.

#### Turning Point

Strategically, the South has more population and industries, which are equivalent to more war potential, than the North. To break the deadlock, the highest command of the Red Army planned a massive attack, in which the armour divisions were supposed to outflank the rural areas protected by the Great Wall and directly assault the central cities with the support of SACOM.

However, the attack turned into a bitter failure. With the leadership of the famous general Yaohua Li, the southern army achieved a military miracle and defeated the armoured forces by excellent tactics. The Battle of Huaibei is viewed as the turning point of the civil war, in which the Red Army lost three quarters of the armoured forces. Since then, the Red Army was unable to initiate any massive armour assault against the south.

#### Peiping Spring

The so-called United People government was never united. It was formed by various types of leftists, including the moderate social democrats, anarchists and orthodox communist, etc. When the Red Army suffered a bitter loss in the battle of Huaibei, the leftist government also suffered a political loss.

After the battle of Huaibei, the military defeats ignited the internal conflict inside the government. The defeat was attributed to the disunity and traitors by the highest command, which gave the politicians a cause to cleanse their foes. With the command from COS, to unify the thought inside the government, the National Bolsheviks firstly purged other factions of leftists in the government by suing, arresting or assassination, which triggered further civil disorder. The immediate massive strike and protest led by other leftist factions paralyzed the capital.

As the government led by the National Bolsheviks ordered the army to suppress the rebellion, the commanders rejected to shoot the people. Hence, the National Bolsheviks sought help for COS. In response, COS sent the elite paratroopers of SACOM to assault Peiping. Meanwhile, the COS ground forces also crossed the border and marched towards the capital of the north China. They first occupied the Peiping International Airport, where air deployment of more troops was arranged. The Red Army was confined to their own barracks, which were encircled until the threat of a counterattack was assuaged. In the street, the COS ground troops directly opened fire to the protesting people, causing thousands of casualties. By the evening of that day, the unrest was suppressed.

#### National Soviet Republic

Ever since the Peiping Spring, with the help of COS, the National Soviet Party completely has completely controlled the government. Although the anarchists and communists led strikes and mutinies against the government, everything settled down as the COS tanks ruthlessly crushed over the bodies of the protesters. The north China regime abandoned the old name and founded Chinese National Soviet Republic. Public election has been banned, and the National Soviet Party is the only legitimate ruling party under the new law. Consequently, the western Allies cut off all the economic and military support to this pro-Russia regime, since it is no longer a valuable diplomatic target.

The newborn republic brought the fragile northern leftist regime back to life. Domestically, since the labour law is revisited and the factories are allowed to apply more flexible management rules, the industry production grows more rapidly than ever before. In the battlefield, the counterattack led by the troops of Emperor Li was intercepted by COS forces.

###### Korean War

Before COS invading Japan, there was a civil war in Korean Peninsula. With the support of COS, the national sovietists initiated an uprising against the government which was backed by Japan and the western countries. As the Chinese civil war locked in stalemate, the north China did not allow that there would be another potential hostile power lying on its northeastern border. Henceforth, hundreds of thousands of National Red Army soldiers were sent to Korea, to support the North Korea regime. The war lasted for around one year, resulting that the Korea was completely unified by the pro-COS national sovietism government.
