The **Armed Forces of the Haidean Republic** (Chinese: 海淀共和国武装力量) **(AFHR),** more commonly known as **the Haidean Military,** are the military forces of the Haidean Republic. It consists of the Haidean Land Forces (or Army), the National Navy, the Haidean Air Force, the Space Force, and the Haidean Strategic Rocket Force. The President of Haide is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior. The five Armed Forces are among eight military forces of Haide, with the others including the Haidean National Guard the Haidean Coast Guard Regiment and the Haidean Border Guard Force.

The Armed Forces of the Haidean Republic are among one of the best-funded militaries in the world, having one of the world's largest defense budgets. The International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates listed a total of 1,127,000 personnel in total. The AFHR figure shows that the Haidean military is indeed a powerful force.

Since its inception, the AFHR has been involved in various operations, both within and outside of Haide's borders. These include peacekeeping missions in places where conflict is apparent, as well as disaster relief operations in various countries. In addition, the AFHR has also assisted the United Nations (UN) to oversee and supervise the electoral process in countries such as Cameroon, Namibia and Somalia.

It has an approximate active strength of over 1,112,200 full-time personnel and is capable of mobilising over 12 million reservists in the event of national exigencies or a full-scale war. It also has a large pool of conscripts in the active and reserve forces, with about 750,000 reaching military age annually.

The AFHR is being developed to respond to a wide range of issues in both conventional and unconventional warfare. The Defence Manufacturing Agency is responsible for procuring resources for the military. The geographic location of Haide means that the AFHR are capable to plan to fully carry out an all-out offensive, as well as competently repulsing any kind of invasion into the nation.

The Republic of Chemgota provides Haide with annual military assistance, which amounts to around US$1.3 billion annually. Haide is a well renowned member of the Magadan Bloc, and has been designated as a major non-NATO ally of the United States. Nevertheless, ties between the two countries have partially soured in the First Manchuria Campaign, where the United States resulted to use orbital bombardment methods to end the war. Despite this, however, relations between the two countries have normalised, with both governments frequently calling for mutual support in the fight against regional and international terrorism.

Relations with Russia have improved significantly following Haidean independence, as both countries have worked since then to strengthen military trade ties among other aspects of bilateral co-operation.

Relations with China however, have decreased drastically. This has led to constant border conflicts between Haide and the ROC, as the Haidean Republic aims to incorporate the Manchuria region into Haidean territory in an effort to unite all Manchus in the name of "Haidean nationalism and brotherhood". Such conflicts involve the Daxing'anling War and the Third Manchuria Campaign. Small border skirmishes are still ongoing.

The armament of the AFHR varies between eastern and western sources through weapons deliveries by several countries, led by the Republic of Chemgota, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, Germany, Iran, Finland and Austria. Many of the Haidean military equipment however, is manufactured locally at Haidean factories.

## History

### Haidean Revolution

The Haidean Revolution was a series of uprisings and guerilla warfare by Haidean Revolutionaries under the leadership of Jiang Xieren against the People's Republic of China and their People's Liberation Army, which was reeling from an allied coalition against China in the earlier 2050s. During the war, the People's Republic of China dissolved as a result of overwhelming support for a pro-democratic China, as well as the ongoing conflict with the Haidean Revolutionary Front, backed by the Chemgotan government. Xi Jingping fled China for Moscow as a result, resulting in the collapse of the People's Republic of China altogether. It was then when Haide gained independence in 2058 with Jiang Xieren as the nation's first President. The conflict has had a lasting impact on Haidean citizens because of the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party in a desperate attempt to keep from a democratic uprising.

The Haidean Democratic Front (A new version of the Haidean Revolutionary Front) was created shortly after the Haidean uprising began in 2054. It comprised both internal and external wings (the latter based in Chemgota and Mongolia during the war). It was a well armed and trained external wing who made up the bulk of the new Armed Forces of the Haidean Republic created in 2056. Only some 50,000 of the 80,000-110,000 who had fought in the internal forces were taken into the AFHR while the remainder were demobilised.

The newly formed Armed Forces of the Haidean Republic came to number about 150,000 lightly armed troops by 2057, already serving both in China and beyond its borders. The bulk of actual fighting was carried out by varying numbers of irregular guerilla fighters who were comprised of seven regional commands. While beaten in most direct clashes, notably after 2057, the poorly equipped, but battle-ready forces were able to maintain an effective opposition to a Chinese contingent of nearly half a million troops, throughout an extended struggle that cost up to nearly a million Haidean lives.

The regular element of the Armed Forces of the Haidean Republic remained at a level of 260,000-270,000 after independence until 2061 when conscription was introduced. Most conscripts however were employed on non-military duties after doing their basic training.

### Post-independence

When Haide achieved independence in 2058, the military consisted of several infantry divisions, commanded by Chemgotan officers and made up of mostly Manchu residents. Chemgota pulled their military out of Haide in October of 2062, leaving behind only a small amount of Chemgotan and Nokytan forces as a token military presence.

President Xieren believed that Haide needed a larger, capable and economic-efficient defence force to protect and defend itself as it borders neighbouring countries in the East Asia region that are often hostile to them. At that time, Haide heavily enlisted the assistance of Chemgota, Nokyta and the United States, which sent military advisors who helped Haide shape and set up a defence force modelled in part after their own military doctrines. Forest, mountainous, desert and urban warfare techniques were taught so that the Haidean army could professionaly engage in combat conflict in the environments of its neighbouring countries, if need be. The military also procured battle tanks from Chemgota, as well as covertly acquiring tanks from Russia, thereby gaining an advantage armour-wise.

Haide has been described as "a military powerhouse with the best land force and air force in Asia". The vast Haidean economy allows it to acquire and locally manufacture the best equipment available as well as incorporate high-end technological equipment into its forces. The AFHR is also called "the most loyal armed forces towards their homeland across the world".

A key recent example was Haide's decision to acquire four TXW6 Seanser Multi-role stealth fighters, which the Chemgotan government approved, with the option to acquire a further dozen more and beyond. This acquisition is significant as "Haide will have the ability to fly the most advanced fleet of fighters in its region" which reflects its security relationship with Chemgota. In addition, the XKW-84 Atillas have a significant impact to Haide's air power since the country claims to no longer depend on "long, vulnerable runways" to operate the aircraft due to the sixth-generation's fighter jet's short-takeoff-and-vertical landing capability. The jet's advanced network-enabled capabilities would be additionally advantageous for Haide which is always seeking to modernise the military. Furthermore, Haide stands out on top of all the other countries in East Asia with the technological sophistication and equipment that "operates at a much higher level of capability" and are "integrated to form a single cohesive fighting force".
