1936 Rise of a Evil (OOC | ALT-HIST | WWII | ASIA IC)

[Australian Antarctica]

90,000 men, 500 tanks and 800 aircraft of the First Soviet Far East Army Group under the command of Georgy Zhukov have begun gathering on the borders of Mongolia. Of the past few months, endless trains filled with artillery, tanks, armoured cars, trucks, men and guns have been moving eastwards towards the border with Mongolia. This is the beginning of operation Don, the invasion and occupation of Chinese rebel held Mongolia, and then, after law is restored, the creation of the Mongolian Peoples Republic. This attack is scheduled to sweep away opposition within 2 months, maximum. If this succeeds, order and peace will be restored to Mongolia.

TOP SECRET

The Russian siberian civilians began to declare themselves a republic, seeing that they were tired of being invaded by Asian nations to get to European nations. Civilians relayed plans to the rebels, which resulted in airstrikes amongst the russian soldiers, and killed 42 people. Only 100 Injured, but the civilians new that they would be executed also.

OOC: What about my military

You lost 15% of your military. And your current military is 750,000, seeing that you have 3 large armies above 250,000, and the loss is about 100,000 (125,000)

[Elam-Kurdistan]

150,000 more troops have arrived from the Caucasus region to help crush the Mongolians, taking the army under Zhukov's commander total 250,000, 700 tanks, 970 aircraft. The unrest in Siberia has been put down by a mixture of propaganda, force and bargaining. Eventually the people saw sense ad realized, if they were independent, without protection from Moscow, they would be poor, weak and easy to invade.

Mongol/Soviet Border

At 2AM, at two point on the border, soviet artillery opened up. The guns were soon joined by flocks of aircraft, aiming to destroy military instillation and most importantly, logistics eg railways and road. So many guns were fired that windows rattled in Irkutsk. After a 6 hour bombardment, the 250,000 troops crossed the border. Advancing in a lighting attack south towards Ulan-Bator, headed by elite, well equipped shock units, the Red Army smashed the disorientated Mongolian forces. The Mongol forces have not yet put up serious resistance as they are mostly made up of ill equipped farmers who have never seen a machine gun. What makes matter worse for the Mongol forces is the fact the Red Air Force is basically unchallenged in the air. The political situation in Mongolia is terrible, with one weak, young leader in charge of minister who are only after their own gain. In the USSR, popular support for the small war is high, seeing as the Mongol government harboured White forces in the civil war and the Mongol Khan's father was close friends with White commander Admiral Kolchak.

To China

My forces have crossed in Mongolia, if you attack now, the war will be over in weeks. As a reward, the USSR will give you Mongolia south of the 45 parallel.

Macau had been left unharmed throughout most of the civil war in china, however there have been minor incidents and gunfights against both the rebels adn the chinese government. As a result, Macau is strengthened and the Italian Pacific Fleet, currently in Bangladesh, to sail to Macau and turn it into a fortified island. Trade is heavily regulated and must pass a set of customs to be able to move freely.

And with that short message the Chinese forces charged across the border, forcing the Rebels to retreat without even firing a shot.

OP Action-
(REBELS)
The Rebels sustained their position in mongolia, having a 1 Million army on stand by. The German soldiers were quickly countered by guerilla tactics and artillery fire due to Siberian help. A militia formed in the south of 250,000 men who countered the chinese, and pushed them back after they thought the rebels retreated. With the inhospitable land of Mongolia, they expanded into Siberia and near by nations, with over 800,000 Military deaths and 4,500,400 Million Civilian deaths. Korean forces were notified and asked Japan for help in invading China, as Korea already had a army of 2.1 Million Militia and 400,000 Infantry on stand by. Civilians were encouraged to report all chinese and russian movements. With the Crushing defeat for russia and china at Mongolia, however, all Germanic forces invaded Seoul taking back prisoners of china, the German commander, and others. They incorporated them into the army, arming them with rebel weapons. They captured the capital, with their force being at 12,000 men, and having lost 6,000 (2,000 German).

*Note, for China, seeing that a 2.5 Million army just invaded you, your civilians will be on the ready to be drafted.

Mongolia

With Zhukov's force pushed back, 700,000 more men from all over the USSR have arrived to crush the mongols. They crossed in to Mongolian held Siberia, destroying 300,000 rebels at the battle of Irkutsk and pushed them back in to Mongolia. The rebel force continued to be pushed back and Soviet guns soon got in range of Ulan-Bator. The Red Air Force has begun flying endless sorties over Mongolia, pushing back any attempt by the rebels to regroup and rearm. After the Mongols invaded Siberia, the Siberians saw sense and began helping the Soviets again, many freely joined the Red Army to avenge their loved ones who were killed by the Mongols. For the Siberian bravery, Moscow has agreed to create a purely Siberian part of the Communist Party to represent them.

I thank you and hope you shoot this general, however, Mongolia has surrendered.

Today, Ulan-Bator fell to the Red Army. The child Khan has been disposed and a provisional government has been put in place. All Mongolian forces has been asked to stand down and soon the Mongolian People's Republic will be created. Most resistance has collapsed, however some remain (but it is being swept up by the Red Army). The Khan announced, before his resignation that Mongolia should move forward hand in hand with the USSR. Now Mongolia will be reformed, the new government has promised a minimum wadge, housing for all, women rights and many other massive reforms.

Now that the Rebels have been crushed, Su Zhou can focus on more pressing matters, such as expending his empire. He had just recently heard about the unrest in Europe and decided that now would be a predict time to invade Indochina. He decided to attempt to mobilize 500,000 Chinese soldiers with 20,000 Artillery Pieces, 20,000 Tanks, and 500 bombers to the border. Even his generals are starting to doubt his judgement, but cannot do anything about it in fear of the Secret Police.

It had been little more than a month since colonel Aldo Bellomici had been put in charge of controlling Bangladesh for the Italian government, Aldo was a man of Average stature he wore his brown hair in a fashionable short haircut and his mustache was in a handlebar style,
"men of Bangladesh your king Beckons to you no... Your king begs you to join the Bengal Militia to fend of possible Chinese invasion of your fair lands if the Chinese do invade your fields will be destroyed your homes burned to the ground your wives, children and elders murdered in the most haneous of ways, so men I beckon to you join the Bengal militia protect your lands and your families".
With the speech over the Populous erupted into cheers and shouts of patriotism for their adoptive leader italy.

In a matter of days the size of the militia ha grown to 15,000 part time soldiers, these men would be able to be called upon at any moment wether in the fields or at work in the factories. In preparation for the possible invasion warned of by the Italian General staff Colonel Bellomici had ordered that artillery guns be set up around Rangpur totally surrounding the North Eastern flank as well as Rajshahi and sylhet in order to protect Bangladesh from India and China as a whole.

It seemed quick. A army of 60,000 invaded beijing, quickly capturing the leader and a few Generals. Artillery shelling began and the city was nearly flattened, as many buildings were hit. The Leader of china was captured along with the capital building, and the following day he was to be executed. A flag went all over the capital, and it was not like the former rebel flag. This was the fascist rebel flag. They claimed to be influenced by the Germans, after seeing them being withdrawn and being forced back home to prepare for the war.
The force claimed the "Republic of Korea-Mongolia" a puppet state of theirs and demanded they surrendered.

A army of Guerilla men attacked the large Russian army. It was a force of 500,000 men, 250,000 of which were fascists. They shelled a large percentage of the soviet army, killing 100,000, and killed the rest when they retreated into a cave or a forest, as the army was stationed there. That killed 200,000. They then all charged, losing 230,000 men, 40,000 of which were fascists, and killing 200,000 Soviets. The Army of 200,000 retreated in defeat, as their position was overran and destroyed. After that, the fascists held a mutiny, killing 50,000 officers, and 90,000 men. The rest joined the army, as the force conscripted a local population of 100,000 men, and 50,000 women into the army, as they then marched into the retreating soviet army to finish them off.

Piles of Soviet soldiers like this were seen everywhere, some of the piles were of civilians and the rebel army. They were to use them as cover and set them on fire later on.

Siberian civilians and Soviet Soldiers leaving Mongolia, while 90,000 died from famine, injuries, or other causes.

Craters surrounded the mining facility of the near by towns and cities, as over 200,000 Russian soldiers, 100,000 Civilians, and 90,000 Rebels lost their lives at this part.

This was known as "The Battle of Khan", as it was a key for the rebels to win if they were to conquer and expand.

Su Zhou sat in his cell, contemplating the events of the past 24 hours. A mob of 60,000 rebels attacked his capitol city of Peking. He had orderd his men to go into hiding and wait for the rebel leaders to show his face. It had only taken less than 12 hours for that retched traitor to show his ugly mug, and now his 100,000 man force was going to emerge from the shadows and strike. A huge battle insued claiming the lives of 55,000 rebels and 32,000 Chinese soldiers. Su Zhao survived, but was seen being carried to a hospitol with a shot to the right leg. His current condition is unknown.
