Charkaonese Revolution

The Charkaonese Revolution was a successful seizing of power by the Communist Revolutionaries and their allies. Kuse Yuudai and Shiko Zheng were the two leaders of the revolution and became the figureheads of the era in Charkao.

Kuse Yuudai was the founder of the Workers' Party of Charkao in 1941 and was an admirer and follower of Mao Zedong, who had only recently taken China by force in 1949. Kuse grew the party through secret speeches and rallies that he planned in certain cities in Charkao. he quickly gained a large following of men and women who were already a follower of Communism or were inspired by his campaign. One of his top officers and a high ranking party member, Shiko Zheng, became a great friend to Kuse and was used as a propaganda figure due to her young age and 'good looks'. Shiko Zheng was also a talented soldier and rose to the rank of Admiral. She was a major military leader in the Revolution.

On 1st of November 1951, the Workers' Party of Charkao launched a rebellion against the Kaminaki Imperial government in Ergai. Upon seeing the beginning success by the revolutionaries, the Chinese Communist Party sent Red Army reinforcements to Zedici to aid the uprising. On 4th of December, after successfully taking the city, the main forces of the Red Armies left Ergai and headed West to siege Minatori. The Kaminaki Empire had dwindled greatly over the centuries and its refusal of western weaponry would be its downfall. Minatori was swiftly taken by the Communists and the Kaminakis feared that defeat was nigh. After some burnout in the revolution, a CCP and WPC rally taking place in Febuary in the newly acquired Minatori greatly increased spirits and morale, causing thousands more recruits to join in a single day, a great boon to their cause.

Mostly successful attempts were later made by the WPC and CCP to take the cities of Sincheng, Shandsai and Mondong. The Red Army and former Kaminaki Army soldiers as well as peasants gained control over several areas in Central and Eastern Charkao. Kaminaki soldiers continued to attempt to suppress the rebellions but were outnumbered and outgeared, clearly being no match for firearms. The only city that was unsuccesful in taking was Karazou, where the Kaminaki Forces pretended like it was mostly deprived of defence but surrounded the Communists upon entering the city and ambushing them from all sides. They quickly eliminated the Red Army forces there, killing Shiko Zheng along with them.

Kuse Yuudai had control of over half of the Charkaonese territory and met up with Mao Zedong to request more soldiers and a full blast invasion which he was certain would work as the Kaminaki Empire was increasingly losing soldiers through defection and the loyalists were easily dealed with due to their lack of efficient weaponry. Mao Zedong decided to trust Kuse and sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to aid the Charkaonese Communists, which tipped the scales even more and the Red Armies swept though the remaining Kaminaki territory, reaching the Paruzuma walls. The Kaminaki forces were completely surrounded as the waters to the east of them were ,miraculously taken by the Communists in a 2 week naval struggle. To prevent further unnecessary death, the Kaminaki Empire surrendered but the Royal Family was still executed by covering their feet in cement and pushing them into the ocean, a brutal sight which let the citizens of Charkao know that these new overlords were just as bad as their imperial predecessors. The war ended on the 12th of March 1953.
