## Central Executive Committee of the Communist International

### Song Sung-Ryung

Song Sung-Ryung is young, just as Korea's membership in the Communist International is. Someone who has fought in the war of resistance to Japanese occupation for her entire life, For more than eighty the Korean people were oppressed by Japan and while the struggle ebbed and flowed in Korea, it never abated until the day freedom was finally restored and the Worker's Republic of Korea was declared. Though the Korean resistance laid low during the second world war during the period of cooperation with the Empire, the revolutionaries would use the period of peace to build strength and prepare for the inevitable struggle between the Axis and International. And it was in this struggle that Song Sung-Ryung was raised in. Though she was born in a city hospital, she spent her life in little comfort as the brutal Kempeitai hunted down even the smallest whiff of dissent.

By the time she came of age, the Empire's preparations for war were in full swing as the Axis prepared to build its Co-Prosperity Sphere and wage a terrible war with the enire world. Even in her teens she proved to be an able leader who was coordinating resistance cells across the country and building dual power structures under the nose of the Empire's agents. Food, money, and other supplies for the needy left behind by society, uncensored news, education, and information about the state of the world, defense against unjust prosecution and justice for crimes the Empire didn't care to deal with. Studies into the Empire's mysterious psychic and robotic programs proved to be deeply valuable in particular, evading the literal thought police and mechanical enforcers would have been impossible without the work she managed to steal from facilities rooted into the Northern Korean mountains.

And throughout all that time, she expressed an interest and fascination with Socialism. Due to simple proximity it was primarily Communist sources that influenced the Korean liberation movement. Her visits to America were impressive and showed her a model of society that she sought to emulate, and her education in California was more than enough to solidify her convictions. A Red Banner would rise over Korea and Japan would never again threaten her freedom and independence. And her chance to bring about such an outcome would come quite soon indeed as the Solar Empire cast its glare upon the world in the third world war. A conflict that she was not only a successful commander in, but also an able civilian leader, revolutionary, and information broker passing out Imperial secrets to her allies around the world.

When the revolution finally came to Korea as the Empire was in full retreat out of Soviet, Chinese, and American territory, she raised the banner over Pyongyang and routed numerous Japanese and collaborator troops attempting to hold onto Korea, striking behind them and thwarting efforts to try and self destruct the Empire's technology before revolutionaries or advancing Communist forces could seize it. And when the first free Korean forces were assembled, she oversaw their preparations for the last years of the war as she helped to coordinate the plans for the far eastern theater of the war. Having a record of able leadership in northeast Asia and military aptitude, she was rather surprisingly elected to the status of Premier in the Central Executive Council in the Comintern's new headquarters at Pyongyang, a duty she took with solemn earnestness.

Young but able, prideful but cooperative, Song's leadership has been transformative. With the new special relationship with Japan and to a lesser degree the rest of the Axis; the Comintern has to consider how to proceed with the Axis lest it once again seek to subjugate the world quite carefully and her history with the Japanese colours her attitudes towards her former oppressor. Rebuilding efforts have proceeded quickly, but much still needs to be restored to proper function after six years of war, and new threats are arising. While Korea has helped to secure north-eastern China's rump government, the new Green Menace of Atomic China casts a deadly shadow over the world that could be her greatest test.

Her policy towards the Alliance is rather fickle. On one hand, she has a burning hatred of Capialism. On the other hand the Alliance is making honest efforts towards reform and the two are faced with a number of other mutual threats. Not just a possibly resurgent Axis and the fourth Positionist Dominion, but also the Atomic Chinese and secretive supernormal forces and the risen power of Atlantis whose allegiances in global politics remain an unknown. Though it is unlikely that she will be in power by the time of the fourth world war, she hopes to prepare the Comintern for that conflict. Internally, the Comintern is completing the transition from the Dictatorship of the Proleteriat to Lower Stage Communism, having completed the transition from exchange value and commodity form to use production, labour vouchers, and the common planning of society. Somethin that she has many ideas for how to do while finishing the rebuilding of the territories devastated by war.

### Howard T. Ackerman (UASR)

*"I'm serving the bourgies a steaming platter of shame with a side order of "suck it"!"*

- Campaign election ad.
Born on a farm in rural Idaho to parents who had supported Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas, Howard T. Ackerman graduated from the University of Idaho with top marks shortly after the second world war. He became an engaged internationalist during his university time, heading the college militarised internationalists though criticized for being too radical, and went on to join the Liberation Community Party. He quickly became one of the inner members of the party, developing a close friendship to Richard Nixon, who Ackerman would later describe as his "mentor, the one and only".

As the Head of the Secreteriat of Agriculture in the Malcolm Little administration, he gained popularity for his straight-forward rhetoric, commitment to the second cultural revolution and the liberation of minorities and the disempowered, and burning hatred for Capitalism, traits desperately sought in the times of the cold war. After the Liberationists under the leadership of Golda Meir lost the election of 1975 to the more pacifistic leadership of Murray Bookchin who had recently joined the Social Ecology Union, Ackerman became the most prominent candidate to carry the party to victory in 1980. He would defeat the other candidates in an astonishing electoral sweep that would see his party attain a supermajority and allow him the opportunity to prepare America for the greatest war of all time.

When the Empire of the Rising Sun's Axis and the Dominion of Epsilon's Sphere joined the war as their own third and fourth global alliances, Premier Ackerman advocated focusing completely on the original Allied threat, but was often over-ruled by the Allied Command who saw the sudden new enemy as the greater threat due to threatenening the vital pacific supply route and menacing important members in Africa, Western Asia, and South America as well as even the American mainland itself. His party was elected by the American people, his greatest supporters, in another landslide in 1985, despite reports coming from Capitol sources that the President was acting suspiciously; often asking questions that had already been answered, as to seek confirmation, and scribbling strange characters identified as Japanese katakana writing on his bedroom wall.

Once the Axis and the Sphere were wout of the war, Ackerman was the loudest voice for pushing the war with the Allies to the very finish. And while initially progress was good as landings were made on Brighton and Allied forces were being pushed to the brink; the overstretched International's forces had to pull back and retreat out of Germany before launching another offensive that pressed to the gates of Berlin from positions at Warsaw with similar back and forths in the remaining theaters as forces deployed to the other theaers reinforced the remaining fronts. With the war once again at a stalemate and all sides exhausted, the Comintern decided to sign a truce with the Allies, despite Ackerman's protests, he refused to take part in any further Comintern meetings, instead retreating to South Dakota, where he would attempt to use Flynn's Mount Liberation Ultra-Collider cannon installed by his command to level London and Paris himself, despite being aware of that the Allies would retaliate with the full weight of their WMDs.

Formally declared insane by the International leadership in an emergency meeting, generals Davidova and Fuller were sent to dispatch him at Mount Liberation. After his death in the battle, it was discovered that Ackerman had, at an indeterminate time in the past, been replaced by a robotic copy of Japanese origins. The Communist International after verbose deliberation; decided to reveal the truth, deeming that after a war full of mind control, clone replacements, dinosaurs and other madness that the people would be willing to accept the truth. Paranoia and suspicion were the immediate responses, and the people soon demanded immediate and thorough investigations of virtually the enire chain of command in response. Many however, believe that even if Ackerman was a fake, what his movement created and advocated was real. A fairer society, rebuffing the atempts by all comers to bring the people in chains, and a hard policy towards the Alliance. In the meantime, his deputy Ani is caretaking for the American government.

However, a persistent rumor insists that the real Ackerman is alive and well, serving as the editor in chief for a newspaper in Metropolis, or as a Psychologist working with the Local Militia, or as a scientist in a sleepy logging town in Amity Falls in Oregon or any number of other sightings. While an eye is being kept for him, if the real Ackerman is still alive and doesn't feel the need to reveal himself, then it's pretty clear he wants nothing to do with the public eye.

### Zofia Aleksandrovna Kaniak (USSR)

*"Politics cannot solely be the realm of the old and the world weary, it must also be a field lead by the young; as it is they who carry the effects of the decisions made by the old."*

- Upon making her bid for the office of Premier.
A decorated commander and communications officer in the red army; and one of the youngest person to ever take command of any government commanding Russia, Zofia has had quite the interesting career. A personal friend of the highly successful commander Cima Len Davidova and the Soviet head of state Lyudmilla Pavilchenko, Zofia has brought an immense amount of energy to the position she assumed and had a remarkable leadership in the third world war; helping to keep the Soviet Union strong in the face of invasion from all comers.

## Comintern Stavka Personnel (Former)

### Georgy Zhukov

*It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are won by troops which have a strong will for victory, clear goals before them, high moral standards, and devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.*

- Zhukov giving a lecture to up and coming officers on what makes for victory
The old man of the army. Even well into advanced age as he is now, he casts a heavy shadow over the field of military science. Together with his best friend Eisenhower, Zhukov he is often seen as the face of the International's generalship in the second world war. A noted Americanophile, he was a strong advocate for close relations with the United Republics and broad communist international cooperation in military and civilian affairs, something approved of by his superior Mikhail Frunze. As a military thinker, he thoroughly studied the Deep Battle theorems of Frunze and and Tuchachevsky and became one of its strongest advocates. He envisioned a fluid sort of warfare, where the objective was not to destroy the enemy's armies, but destroy and capture their ability to prosecute warfare by cutting their lines of communication, capturing their centers of production, seizing their supplies, and destroying the cohesion of their leadership and formation.

Enemy defensive efforts would be countered by concentrating an overwhelming superiority of force at the weakest points in the enemy's lines determined by infiltration units which would be further weakened by infiltration tactics. Then, these weak points would be smashed open by a highly maneuverable mechanized force with ample air support and artillery fire support that could start falling on the enemy within minutes of being called by soldiers on the frontlines. Rather than seek an encirclement of the enemy, the breakthrough forces would run rampant in the rear area, advancing deep behind the battlefield to seize or destroy bases, communication systems, supplies, leadership, factories and strategic points. The enemy's own defensive planes would be rendered irrelevant, they would have to pull back to attack the breakthrough exploitation forces or wither on the vine without direction, supply, and reinforcement.

For the defensive, he advocated a system of defense in depth that was focused not on stopping the enemy from moving all at once, but rather denying the enemy the ability to make use of breakthroughs. In the inevitable event of an enemy breakthrough, defending forces would fall back to the next set of lines of defense and reinforce them, and repeat the process until the enemy no longer had the momentum to advance. At this point, he advocated the idea of the massive counter attack to then overwhelm the now overstretched and exhausted enemy and engage in the typical offensive theorems of deep battle. For this particular view of defensive warfare, he saw the invention of SPAM as a way to completely revolutionize defensive warfare by allowing for on field supply and reinforcement and rapid construction of fortifications, allowing for more mobile defenses to become possible in a way not possible beforehand.

When the second world war came, Zhukov at first served under Frunze as the Communist International worked out a way to resist the enemy offensives on nearly every continent of the world. The disparate national armies of the Communist International at first had issues cooperating, not the least because of the threat posed to overseas shipment of forces posed by the menace of the Alliance fleets and maritime bombers. However, as the Alliance fleets were becoming more and more battered by the enormous shipbuilding capacities of the Communist International and their superior mastery of carrier warfare and as the Alliance's offensives stalled more and more, greater international cooperation became more and more possible, aided by the invention of the first chronospheres that could allow Comintern forces to move around the world without travelling the intravenous distances. While not overly useful for deep penetrating raids due to the limited number of forces that could be transported at a time, it allowed for reinforcements to be built up behind the lines without risking interception; an insurmountable advantage that increasingly rendered the Alliance's efforts at dividing the Comintern futile.

This allowed for the development of a truly unified workers and farmer's international military, something that Zhukov and Eisenhower worked long and hard to establish. They envisioned a highly modern and mobile force, and by the later stages of the second world war, the Alliance would reel under blow after blow by the elite International Armed Forces working in tandem with the national armies of the member states of the Communist International and leftist guerilla forces. Thanks to what he had helped to create, the Alliance was forced back on all fronts and only the heavy defense in depth used by the Alliance to guard its home turf and Fuller's willingness to use any possible superweapon to slow down the enemy, even if it meant devastating much of the Alliance's own metropoles were able to convince the Comintern to agree to a limited victory peace.

During the summer of 1974 Zhukov would die at his cozy apartment in Moscow in what was later found to be an Allied Assassination. Buried with full honours, the old man of the Stavka remains a man with a mountainous legacy.

### Arleigh Burke

*The object of leadership may be stated as having a system whereby a leader recognizes what is good for the good of the government, for the good of the nation, for the good of humanity, and recognizes the qualities he has and what he can do within his own limitations. He cannot do, and should not attempt to do, the impossible, but he should not fail to attempt something that might be extremely difficult and may be possible.*

- Burke, on the principles of Socialism being applied to Military leadership

Arleigh "31 knot" Burke is the chief author of the current design of the Comintern's navy. He considers it important to ensure that the Communist International maintains the most powerful fleet in the world when taken in as a whole. He argued hard for developing high quality aircraft carriers with powerful air planes as well as ensuring that the Comintern's allies and task forces would also not be lacking in quality gear. A young man during the Revolution, the ship he captained engaged the American white fleet during the revolution of 1933 and emerged victorious in its engagement in that brief conflict. Having already started to embark in Socialist politics in his contact with veterans of the first world war as a young lad, he took well to the new mission and purpose of the American Navy and looked forward to a clash with the Ultimatist hordes of western Europe, Thailand, and Brazil.

Sixteen years later he got his wish; serving as an Admiral in the second world war. Clashing repeatedly with Britain in the waters of the Atlantic ocean, he made sure that Britain would not be able to land enough troops to open up new fronts in the continental American Republics and repeatedly put pressure on Canada. He primarily liked to work with Destroyers, Cruisers, Fast Battleships (rather than monstrous Superheavy Battleships) and Frigates, launching swift raids and strikes and getting out of the way of the European navies before they could pin down his fleet while not having enough high value assets to make them a priority target to pin down and eliminate. Reportedly, when his Destroyers Bunyan and Goldman torpedoed the HMS Hood; the aging flagship of the British Imperial Navy, he lamented "oh now Fuller's going to be mad, better prepare for hunter-squadrons boys and girls." And true to his expectations, the Lord High Protector of Britain was *apoplectic* with boiling rage.

Fuller ordered him killed at any cost for sinking the ship that had served the British Navy since world war one through numerous upgrades; even trialing new turbine engines. This lead to U-Boat squadrons, Cruiser hunter divisions, even carrier groups being sent to try and kill the Admiral who commanded his fleet from the Battleship Liberator. So focused was the Alliance on killing him that Burke was able to lead many Alliance ships into a trap in the battle of the Florida Keys.

Burke would come out of retirement to take sail one last time, engaging Epsilon's psychic dominator guard force at San Francisco. Though his ship was heavily damaged and barely operable after an intense battle, he made himself immortal by ramming Alcatraz island itself and detonating the munitions of his ship. Preventing the Dominator from activating and saving the city.

### Curtis LeMay

*Yes, I do feel sorry for the Proleteriat of the Alliance. I think about those who end up crushed under the bombs of warfare every day. All war is ultimately immoral, and war against civilians is perhaps the most immoral of all. But then I remember how immoral it would be to let down the people of the Comintern by allowing their victory over us, to allow them to undo our progress and commit us to chains. So no, I don't let that get in the way of the most important task of any general; to win with as little bloodshed from their own side as possible.*

- Curtis LeMay responding to critics regarding his strategic bombing policies
One of the most controversial figures in Comintern history, Curtis LeMay (or Saint Curtis, as he is known to airmen, and Bombs-Away LeMay as he's known to civilians) is the man most responsible for the push for more and more airpower for the communist internationale. During the Second World War, LeMay reorganised the Comintern's air force and conducted massive strategic bombing against Alliance assets from any base available. In the most recent war, LeMay constantly pushed for the expansion of bombing campaigns and for striking directly at the heart of enemy industrial power, though he grew increasingly frustrated with the Comintern's reluctance to risk civilian lives.

He worked tirelessly in the second world war; often going without sleep as he tried to coordinate the air war. The Luftstreitkräfte, the British Imperial Air Force, the Armee D'lair, the Ejercito Del Air and the other air forces were formidable opponents when taken in their entirety. In the second world war, the tide of air superiority changed back and forth many times; though at many times it seemed that the enemy had overwhelming advantages in the air. But slowly but surely, Curtis built up the air forces of the Comintern back from the initial alpha strikes against Communist air fields to start to win the initiative in the skies once again. In the third world war, he worked tirelessly to ensure that the Communist air force would not suffer the magnitude of devastation it did in the opening stages of the second world war, holding it together as best he could and once again starting to win back the skies.

Though LeMay's bombing raids in were highly effective, the controversy generated by the high civilian casualties has created a highly polarised image of the commander. To military personnel, especially airmen, he can do no wrong, but many civilians consider him a merciless butcher.

## Comintern Stavka Personal (Current)

### Nikolai Krukov

*"Let the enemy make their mistakes, then dash their plans against the rocks with as much force as possible. This comrades, is my mantra of victory. Do not be headstrong, but do not be afraid to push opportunities that can offer ultimate victory."*

- Kurkov at west point
Marshal Krukov serves as the current Chairman of the Stavka and thus the highest ranking purely military man in the entire Workers and Farmer's Revolutionary International Armed Forces. Born Russian in the city of Moscow only shortly before the October Revolution, Krukov has a decorated history as an Army Commander with a gift for strategy and logisical support fostered under his mentorship under the legendary Marshal Mikhail Frunze. An avowed internationalist, Krukov enjoyed working with allies from abroad and frequently visited other socialist countries; including America; to study on other theories of war and familiarise himself with his allies. Lauded for his successes in the Balkan and Hindu Kush campaigns of the second world war and the liberation of Central Africa, he showed great promise as a Staff Officer.

It is often thought he wouldn't have reached his current position if he did not have his unique foresight. For Nikolai Krukov always had a talent in predicting his opponent’s moves, and he exploited it by ordering his most capable commanders to places he predicted would be attacked. Always having an eye for Talent, he made sure that Commanders who showed promise would get the stations and the missions they would be most suited to. This served well not only against the Alliance's attempt to invade throughout the world, but also against the sudden strikes of the Axis and Epsilon.

Even at the darkest parts of the war with the Alliance thrusting deep into Russia and the enemy threatening Debs D.C itself, Krukov remained calm; having already counted on the Alliance to advance as far as it did, having moved much of the vital war making industry and command infrastructure in secret to new, GAP hidden cities built in secret under the cover of Stealth and temporal acceleration. And all throughout the occupied territory of the Alliance the enemy would have to deal with massive Revolutionary Vanguard, Generation of Gaea, Militia, and Guild uprisings while the PSB and Army made sure they bled for every inch all while minimizing their own casualties. While the Alliance was seemingly marching victoriously, they were actually being lured into a massive trap that spanned entire continents. One meant to destroy as much of the Alliance's military machine as possible and seize as many of their technological secrets as they could.

With the Alliance's defeat at the battle of Arkhangelsk and New York City and the crucial naval battle of the Greenland Sea giving command of the sealanes to the Communis International, the counter-offensives started to drive the Alliance backwards. With a secure base in central and western Africa and revolutionaries in the Allies' backyards, Krukov prepared to chase the enemy "all the way to Buckingham palace." But the unexpected rise of Epsilon and the Empire and their respective allies threw off the careful planning of the Stavka. The pacific was expected to be relaively quiet save for raiding actions by the Allies, and it was thought that most revolutionaries in the global south would declare for the Communist International. Instead massive invasions by two new factions dragged the world into a vicious four way brawl.

With his motherland threatened from the west by the Allies and from the east by the Empire, he counted his lucky stars that the Long Range Strategic Strike Force of the Empire was busy attacking the Allies' vulnerable western flank while the Nanshin-Ron divisions pushed into Alliance Asia while Epsilon's uprising drew forces from all comers in the hopes of stopping the mad tyrant Geoffrey and his allies around the world. But contingency plans had been prepared in case of unexpected intervention by third or fourth parties, and the Communist International refused to let the enemy break their spirits. Krukov worked over time to ensure the defence of the Communist International, believing that cutting his enemies' off from supplies and support while fermenting dissent in their rear areas was the key to ultimate victory in this devastating war.

A master of deep operations, Krukov believed wholly in the mantra that war is politics by other means. The enemy's strength is not simply the might of their armies but also their production facilities, their population willing and able to fight, their institutes of research and knowledge, their communication lines that provide their eyes and ears, the infrastructure that transports the resources they extract, and their political and military command and control apparatuses. The enemy had to be engaged not only on the battlefield, but at home as well; encouraging revolution, dissent, uprisings, strikes, and disobedience while staying in as much contact with sympathisers as possible. Some of the most successful examples of this was the Liberation of Korea, Eastern Europe, and the invasion of Cuba and the African resistance where the enemy was battling Communist forces not merely at the front or even at the rear where partisans were active, but even at home as production efforts were stymied and political destabilisation efforts were under way.

However, Krukov did no always have things the way that he or the rest of the Stavka wanted. With so many fronts, a proper line of battle was virtually impossible to establish. Many opponents turned resistance movements against the Comintern, looking for local bourgeois, moralists, and nationalists who felt they had something to lose in a socialist society to cause trouble in the rear. Efforts to repress partisans and backline resistance were well coordinated and often brutal, and Krukov found that his preferred way of warfare was often of limited use against Epsilon's mind controlled slave hordes or the Empire's often robotic armies much like how the Drones of both the Comintern and Allies had proved so successful in counter-insurgency operations. The failure of the Franco-British offensives in particular troubled him even as he was lauded in glory for his command duties elsewhere that saw the Axis and Sphere exit the war.

However he always treasured the commanders he took under his wing, knowing full well that Generalship was a vitally important quality in warfare. A polyglot who took the time to learn as many languages as he could, he worked with a wildly diverse assortment of staff officers and field commanders. And his mentorship of Davidova is often cited as the shining example of his policies of nurturing command skills, though he is quick to remind people that he had many other highly successful field commanders who got their feel for war under him; cooperating with one another to learn each other's tricks of the trade. Preferring the carrot to the stick, he was and remains a patient and understanding teacher, and in the rare times he took field command alongside his commanders; showed quite aptly that he hadn't gotten rusty in his time at the desk.

Post-War, he is continuing to hold his post after significant success in the STAVKA elections, and is currently overseeing operations against Green China. Though the usage of nuclear weapons in the Chinese Civil War was a catastrophic calamity, the aggression of Green China and the presence of unknown combatants in Siberia and greater Mongolia has convinced STAVKA to deal with the region once and for all. With tens of millions of refugees from the fighting streaming into the Comintern' but especially into the Soviet Union, he has a personal stake in the fighting after witnessing firsthand the devastation dealt to China and the vengeful hatred lying within the Green Chinese. He holds himself responsible for not acting to bring peace to China, and hopes to correct his mistake by helping to reunify the shattered nation and put its ghosts to rest.
