Chemgota-Haide relations

Relations between the Haidean Republic and the Republic of Chemgota have overall been very friendly throughout their history, which dates back to strong Chemgotan support for Jiang Xieren's Haidean Revolutionary Front during the Haidean Revolution. This was later followed by Haidean support for Chemgota during the Shantar War in 2062 and the Nokytan and West Yakut War in 2064. In addition, both countries are prominent member states of the Magadan Bloc, while sharing similar views on major regional issues such as the opposition of Communism and Fascism, Haidean territorial claims, as well as the same vision on each other's economic and societal prosperity.

## History

### Haidean Revolution

During the six-year-long Haidean struggle for independence against Chinese rule, Chemgotan President Igor Elmpt was a strong vocal supporter of the Haidean resistance movement and provided significant military aid to the Haidean Revolutionary Front (HRF). This had prompted increasing Chinese anger towards President Elmpt which, in addition to Elmpt's nationalization of the Amur River, drove them to join the Philippine State, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, Indonesia and Myanmar in an attack on Chemgota and their allies during the Philippine war in 2055. Xi Jingping, still leading the PRC during the confrontation, came out claiming that "China would have fewer problems if Chemgota was removed from the face of the Earth.", a clear reference to the Chemgotan president's ongoing support and collaboration with Jiang Xieren, leader of the HRF.

   Records from archives and conversations further substantiate the Chinese position and this was clearly portrayed in a conversation between Chemgotan officials where it was claimed that "the Chinese would rather fight Chemgota rather than around the periphery of the Haidean Revolt". For China, the Manchuria region had always been about traditional Communist narratives, therefore arguing that the Chemgotan victory following the Philippine war bolstered the Revolutionaries' cause.

On several occasions, Elmpt showed signs of determination to support the Haidean rebels, according to several of his advisors, as he went as far as to direct officials to deliver as many arms and supplies as possible to the HRF by any means necessary, even through airlifts if possible. Many supplies were smuggled through the border with Mongolia, and this was in addition to the Haideans who received further military training in Chemgota, although this was initially denied by the Chemgotan government when questioned by the international community. Other forms of weapon delivery to the HRF came through the sea and this had come to light when in 2056, a Sudanese-flagged ship was on its way from Magadan to China when it was intercepted by the Chinese Navy and was found with a cargo of arms destined to the HRF including 12,300 rifles, 190 mortars and many other kinds of weaponry.

Eventually, on November the 12th, 2058, the Haidean Republic was officially formed, and the Republic of Chemgota was the first country in the world to acknowledge Haide's independence, with Khalil Ghushayev saying that "Jiang Xieren has fought against a formidable and powerful enemy, but against all odds, his Revolutionary Front came out in the midst of victory as Communism fell". Diplomatic ties were established between the two countries the day after Haide's independence.

### Post-independence

Following the Haidean victory and the dissolution of the People's Republic of China with Algeria eventually gaining full independence, President Jiang Xieren wanted the late Igor Elmpt to be remembered as a national hero to the Haideans as a sign of friendship between them and Chemgota. This was due to the warm relationship between both leaders which dated back to Xieren's long stay in Magadan before the Haidean Revolution took place.

Chemgota's Vikhrov Kusma accepted Xieren's invitation to be the first guest of an independent Haide in Igor Elmpt's place due to his untimely passing in 2054, and as he arrived, Kusma received nearly the same form of welcoming that the Haideans gave Igor when he arrived in 2053, with thousands rushing from all over Haide in order to see him. This strong appreciation for Kusma, and for Elmpt was apparent in the following decades, even after his death due to Xieren's own introduction of Elmptism in Haide with Xieren being a staunch Elmptist.

Xieren had established a special bureau designated for Chemgotan world affairs which he dealt with cooperatively with Kusma and other Chemgotan delegates as ties between both countries were so strong that rumors started to circulate that a Magadan-Harbin axis was aimed at dominating Asia and about Haide's joining of the Magadan Bloc, already being a prominent member.

Upon President Xieren's death in 2063, Chemgotan government official Yasenev Damir ordered a ten-shot battleship salute to the late leader, honouring the decade that he spent fighting the Chinese for independence. The Xieren's Field of Heroism in Magadan was built in his memory, as well as a minute of silence to further honour Xieren's legacy every July 8th.

### Presence in armed conflicts

#### Haidean Civil War

Upon the outbreak of the Haidean Civil War between the Haidean government and the Communist Haidean Worker's Militia when Communist forces attempted to claim the cities of Daqing and Qiqihar, Chemgota, along with Negara Periwan, immediately rushed arms to Haide and sent a contingent of 21,000 troops who fought alongside the Haideans where 5 or more Periwanian officers were captured as prisoners of war. With Chemgotan assistance, Haidean Government forces were able to take out rebel forces in June of 2067, thus ending the civil war.

#### Manchuria Campaigns

Chemgota has played significant combat roles in most of the conflicts Haide has had with the Republic of China. While the First Manchuria Campaign did not see Chemgota play any kind of role in the war, rather acting as a spectator of sorts, Chemgota has acted in favour of the Haidean Republic in other conflicts that Haide has fought against China.

A cargo of main battle tanks was dispatched to Haide through a ship from Chemgota, in addition to 37 F-4 Phantom IIs and two or three Soko G-2 Galebs during the Second Manchuria Campaign. When Haide had been suffering significant military losses during one particular battle in the Daxing'anling War, Haidean President Chyou Fen telephoned Chemgotan President Houari, explaining to him the situation and how many men his military had lost. Houari responded by sending as many aircraft as the Chemgotan Air Force could spare, including a squadron of Soko G-2's as part of an air brigade under the command of a Chemgotan General. This proved their worth by eliminating Chinese forces that slowed down Haidean progress.

## Current Relations (As of 2110)

On the 25th January, 2098, Haidean President Hu Beizhao made his first official visit abroad since his election in November of 2097 to Chemgota, where regional security was top of the agenda. Both sides discussed ways to counter China's increasing militancy in Asia as the meeting came amid rising hostile activity from China with whom both countries share borders with. Beizhao stressed that both countries should collaborate with “a coordination of positions” in order to overcome these issues and that this cooperation. A month earlier, the two countries sought to hold a Joint Chemgotan-Haidean Higher Committee which would meet when Haide elects a new president. Diplomatic sources from both countries told the press that "Chemgota and Haide will become the two arms of a pincer on the Asia-Pacific".

### Economic Ties

By 31% of the total capital value of the approved projects, Chemgota ranks first among foreign countries investing in Haide outside the fuel sector with Chemgotan investments in Haide, according to the 2108 statistics, reaching approximately $15.3 billion. The volume of trade exchange between the two countries was valued at almost $41.5 billion in 2110 (up 11% over the 2109 figures). According to figures released by the Haidean Customs Authority in January 2109, Chemgotan exports occupied third place among Asian exporting countries with exports calculated at $6.56 billion as compared to $21.51 billion of Haidean imports. Chemgota's main exports have valued nearly $33 billion and included building materials, food products, metal products, copper wires, drugs, minibuses, chemical substances & water heaters. Haidean exports on the other hand have reached $28.95 billion, and included rice, petroleum, lumber, metal products, liquefied natural gas, propane, cardboard and condensers for air conditioning.
