Military War Police

The Military War Police (MWP) constitutes a division within the National Central Committee of the People (NCCP) Army, tasked with the oversight of security within military installations and border camps. Their responsibilities extend to the administration of justice for prisoners of war and military offenders. The MWP is notable for facing budgetary constraints, resulting in limited resources and substandard equipment. This often translates into understaffing, meager salaries, and reliance on outdated Cold War-era artifacts.

At the helm of the MWP is the highest-ranking official, known as the Commander General Chief Official Bannerman of the Party and the Military of the NCCP, or simply the High Bannerman Chief. The selection criteria for service enlistment include an age range of 14-55, proficiency in the Meng 81-535 Mandarin dialect, successful completion of vision and IQ assessments, and a background from a stable and functional middle or working-class household.

Elaborating on certain elements, it's worth noting that the MWP's reliance on obsolete equipment poses challenges to their effectiveness in modern security scenarios. Additionally, the stringent criteria for enlistment, including language proficiency and family background, underscore the organization's emphasis on specific qualifications.

## Reputation

The Military War Police is widely regarded as a subpar military law enforcement agency on an international scale. Criticisms stem from perceived deficiencies in military proficiency, reliance on outdated equipment, and instances of excessive brutality, contributing to its controversial reputation within the NCCP. The agency's actions often attract global attention due to frequent transgressions against foreign civilians, prisoners of war (POWs), and enemy military personnel. Notably, these actions occur with apparent impunity, attributed to a government investment in propaganda aimed at safeguarding the force's public image.

Even within the NCCP's national framework, the MWP is viewed as more of a hindrance than an asset. Instances have been reported where residents in proximity to the nation's limited military bases and border camps experience ongoing disturbances. Such disturbances range from soldiers engaging in disruptive behavior out of boredom to instances of harassment targeting locals as a form of distraction. Additionally, reports have surfaced of soldiers seizing and damaging property and vehicles for entertainment purposes.

## History

### Red Lotus Squadron era

The origin of the Military War Police can be traced back to the NCCP's nationwide initiative, Operation Red Lotus. This program, implemented due to governmental concerns, led to the mass execution of approximately six hundred thousand members of the Yangguang Reunification Party. Specifically, certain units were extensively trained and equipped with electric power gloves and shock prods designed to incapacitate individuals by stopping their hearts.

These specialized units eventually evolved into the Red Lotus Squadron (RLS). Acting on the orders of Supreme High General Zuo Long Wei, the RLS undertook operations overnight, targeting and executing hundreds of political opponents and party members. The completion of their main task marked the disbandment of the RLS in 2076. However, the emotional toll on High General Zuo Long Wei was evident, leading to a subsequent mental breakdown.

Following the disbandment, surviving Red Lotus Squadron members faced dishonorable discharge or retirement, while some transitioned to other government agencies. Despite these outcomes, it was evident that Operation Red Lotus had failed to quell fears or hysteria surrounding potential threats to the ruling party. In response, the nation established the Military War Police (MWP) in 2078, with a primary mandate to carry out mass operations during political conflicts and hostile takeovers by dissidents and political rebels.

High General Zuo Long Wei, leveraging his high status and alleged involvement in blackmail operations, managed to shield numerous officers and soldiers from the old RLS from facing punishment. Consequently, many of them joined the newly formed MWP in 2079, further shaping the trajectory of this military force.

### Modern day MWP

In contemporary times, the MWP has gained notoriety as an organization tasked with executing political actions either at the behest of NCCP leadership or independently, as evidenced by various incidents. In a notable event on September 2084, MWP units carried out a controversial operation at North Guangzhou City hospital, resulting in the death of all 435 patients. The rationale behind this action stemmed from the discovery that a long-term patient, afflicted with multiple gunshot wounds and amputations, was identified as the founder and leader of the Fourth Resistance Movement.

In a separate incident in December 2087, a group of approximately twenty MWP agents emerged unexpectedly, conducting a lethal operation against gang members affiliated with a local organized crime group at a fast-food restaurant in the Sheng district of Beijing. Despite forensic investigations failing to establish a connection between the victims and any organized crime group, the NCCP disavowed the operation, asserting that the MWP had no official mandate to be present in the Sheng district, designated as a non-militarized region.

The Military Police (MWP) employs a variety of outdated and occasionally improvised equipment in its operational activities. Despite ongoing advancements in equipment and resources, certain units persist in utilizing antiquated automatic shotguns of Soviet and Eastern European design. While these firearms may lack effectiveness against military-grade battle armor and infantry weaponry, they prove formidable in encounters with standard law enforcement officers and civilians.

The sidearms wielded by the Military Police consist of simplistic revolvers and a diverse array of kinetic or explosive projectile guns. Frequently, these firearms are inexpensive, mass-produced imitations of contemporary Japanese handheld firearms. The MWP's fleet of armored vehicles and hover tanks encompasses a spectrum ranging from aged Japanese Imperial land ships and hovercraft to repurposed civilian and military trucks retrofitted into miniature tanks.
