Unknown Location, Northern China - 3rd of November, 1948

"general?" the chinese entered the room "our friends arrived"
"good. let them enter" replied Chiang
other two men entered in the room "good day, general" stated the oldest
"to you too" replied the man "please sit" he waited for the two men to sit then continued "news?"
"the troops we managed to gather" said Terauchi "your forces and the irregular ones our neighbour provided us are not enough to stop the northern chinese army"
"we need help" added Tada "we are losing ground, Kemin's troops are advancing on every front"
"damn" shouted Chiang "order our troops to retreat for a while, we need to reorganize our forces and estabilish a line of defence"
"this will be not enough"
"i know" sighed the general "we need to search for international support, i'm quite sure that the great powers will help us estabilish a solid democracy here, overthrowing the sarawakian puppet"
"maybe we can ask Chen Guofu, he have some experience in this field"
"sounds like a good idea, Hayao" replied the general "i think it's time to form a sort of cabinet to manage better our efforts; and to estabilish some form of state in the lands we control"
"indeed" stated Terauchi "it would be a good idea, maybe would also help us in gaining support from the foreign powers"
"yes" the general rose "Hayao, i think you should go on the frontline to led the troops"
"ok"
"and you" he pointed at Terauchi "should start to seek for ministers, is it ok?"
"certainly, Chiang"


Unknown Location, Northern China - 15th of December, 1948

"Hayao arrived in Yan'an this morning" started Terauchi "with some troops, the defensive line is now almost complete"
"good, very good" replied Chiang "i hope that also Chen Guofu would bring us some results"
"he's abroad at the moment, but i think he'll return soon" stated the other "anyway, we gathered some support in Xibei San Ma, but the warlord's behaviour is quite suspect"
"i hate warlords"
"but you are"
"it doesn't matter" replied the general, piqued "did you find the men i asked for?"
"Yan Xishan, owner of a large industry near here, is the best choice for a minister of industry. Also because he's currently running almost all the industrial aspects of our state"
"of course, but i want to meet him, we have to be sure that he will help us"
"considered that the area is under our control i think he will"
"i have to be sure about him, so arrange a meeting" Chiang paused "then?"
"also i think that the current chief of the police, Ding Motun, should be confirmed in his role"
"i agree, he's a loyal man, and he's doing his work very well. i think that also Guofu should be confirmed, he's doing all the diplomatic work we need, don't you think?"
"yes, he was the third man i found"
"others?"
"i think that also the chief of army, Hayao Tada, should be confirmed, and that's all"
"searching in the backyard is always easy" stated Chiang "and, at the moment, we have no other choices"
"indeed"
"call them all for a meeting, we need to start our work"




Unknown Location, Northern China - 10th of January, 1949

The second meeting of the chinese rebel cabinet was held in a town hall building, near the Xibei San Ma border. General Chiang, who took the first plac ein the government, started with the usual greetings and then opened the meeting "so? how it's the war going?"
"we are currently holding the line" replied general Gu Zhutong "but it seems that the northern chinese are advancing in Yan'an, i'm waiting for reports, anyway, the situation there is very complex. We also started to train our men, but we need guns and all the equipment"
"mr. Guofu?"
"our foreign friends won't be involved so they will only send us former german equipments, which they captured during the war"
"when will those equipments arrive?" asked Zhutong
"in the next days" replied the foreign minister "but i'll leave tomorrow to countinue to press them, they should help us more"
"maybe some advisors?"
"i'll ask, for sure"
"good, mr. Motun?"
"far from the frontline the situation is quite calm, the population is supporting us, but i think some reforms are necessary to calm them, we have to be sure about their support"
"my department" stated Xishan "if i can call it this way, is working on some kind of agrarian reform, and also we are trying to start the production of armaments, to be able to provide our men the things they need, i think we should be self-sufficient"
"we should, but really can we?"
"maybe in a couple of months" admitted the minister of industry
"so we need foreign help"
"yes, i think so. at least for the start"
a soldier entered like a hurricane in the room "general Zhutong!" he cried
"what's happening?"
"the soldiers in Yan'an were defeated, and general Tada died, they are currently retreating towards Ansai Xian, to try to reform the line there"
"damn" the general looked at Chiang "i have to go, suggestions?"
"send some reinforcements if you can, and tell the troops to hold the line there"
"it will be done, bye" the general rose and exited, togheter with the soldier
"you see" started the general "that we need to gather as much forces as possible so, mr. Guofu, put pressure on our foreign friends"
"i'll do"




Unknown Location, Northern China - 5th of March, 1949

General Chiang was sitting in his room, drinking tea and studying a map he put on the table, when someone knocked at the door "who is?" he asked
"me, mr. Guofu" the man replied
"oh, please enter" the general rose "any news?"
"very good ones" said the foreign minister "our friends accepted to help us more, they promised me a lot of help"
"sounds very good"
"indeed, the equipments will arrive next month, they said"
"good" Chiang took the phone "i'll call Wang Chonghui to organize a meeting, as soon as possible, we have to organize ourselves for the great offensive"


Unknown Location, Northern China - 15th of April, 1949

"so, mr. Zhutong?"
"thanks to our friends' help we have been able to advance on all the frontline"
"sounds great" stated Terauchi "we should then seek international recognition, to bound Kemin's hands"
"uh?"
"he was thinking about the ONU" replied the foreign minister "being a true state we could seek their recognition and support"
"the sarawakians won't intervene?"
"i think they will stay out, if they don't our friends will surely intervene, if not militarily, at least diplomatically"
"and the northern chinese troops' equipments are far beyond ours" stated Zhutong "it will be an easy war"
"at least against them" added Terauchi "there are some sarawakian divisions stationed in East Turkestan they may be a problem"
"if they will intervene, that's not sure, also because i don't think they'll trust Kemin's government"
"we can exploit this fact sending them some men to convince them that's better to help us instead of the chinese"
"it can be a good idea" stated Chiang "do it" he looked at the ministers "also we have to formalize our situation as soon as possible"
"it will be done" shouted the ministers, as one

tomorrow the first months of 1949, stay tuned!

January 1949

During the first days of the month an incredible series of coups happened in south america and the middle east: in Venezuela, Peru and Iraq. However those coups did not change the international situation as the iraqi government paid homage to the british one; the south american ones continued to prefer the neutrality. Back in Sarawak, the work on the new radar station in Guangzhou continued.


Some days later the Aeronautics Design Bureau developed 'Strategic Rocket'; the following project, greatly supported by both the chief of staff and the one of air force, was one about paratroopers, which the sarawakian spies reported to be very useful, as they were air transported and thus had an high degree of mobility, really necessary harsh terrains of China.


On the same day, as the radars and the AA guns were finished, the minister of industry informed the others that other projects could be started. The chief of air force asked Piper to build some missiles, to start testing them and to show those powerful items to both enemies, to instil fear, and the allies. The president Brooke, liked the propsal and so it was approved; four missile batteries were so put in the production queue.


Some days later another technological advance happened as S-E China Industrial Center developed 'Improved Night Vision Applications'. The next project was again about paratroopers, but this time Shuming asked to give them the transport planes those new soldiers needed. On the same day the foreign minister was asked to find foreign instructors for the new airborne troops.


The next day saw the development of a project about the rockets which, although lagging behind the plans, could lead to a series of ballistic missiles. The project was again funded, but the missiles in production remained, even if they were doomed to born outdated.


On the same day Siam Cement developed 'Modern Synthetic Oil Plant', the following project, strongly wanted by the chief of army, mr. Jitang, was again about night vision devices. This time, thanks to the previous experience, the scientists affirmed that the devices could be miniaturized and used also by the soldiers, to gain a much more consistent advantage in night combat.


On the 23rd day of the year Sarawakian National Motor Company developed its first project, 'Rocket Assembly Line'. The research soon gave its fruits and the production of the missile batteries was considerably speeded up. Soon after the Bangkok Arsenal was assigned the task to develop better static AA guns.


The last day of the month saw the successfull mission of a sarawakian spy in Moscow, who managed to gain some blueprints about advanced SP artillery; but his efforts were discovered and the relations between the two nations decreased.



February 1949

On the fourth day of February the first missile batteries were deployed in Nanchang, to start the ballistic tests. The northern chinese government protested when they knew about it, as they feared that some missiles could hit their territory; however their complaints were quickly trashed by the President, replying to them that the probability was very low and, if they hit their provinces, he said with irony, they could have hit only the rebels.


Six days later Sarawakian Naval Academy has developed 'Post-WW2 Submarine Tactics', soon admiral Stukov claimed the slot, to start developing doctrines for the carriers, to appease Ertelkin's faction in the admiralty, which was asking for it, as they saw in the carriers the future of the naval warfare.


Some days later the SaFIS launched a massive spy offensive against the major powers; this action led to a series of reports about them. Those reports were very accurate and allowed the sarawakian armed forces to plan how to counter them.


On the 17th of the month Sarawakian Factory Design Bureau developed 'Early Airborne Division'. This time the premier dropped the paratrooper idea and agreed with Jitang and Stukov, who were willing to improve the marine divisions, to be able to fight better in the pacific islands; also because the transport planes were not ready.


The following day the Philippines provided the blueprints necessary to research better paratrooper equipments. Another item the american gifted to them before the war.


Also, some days later, a ministers' meeting happened. It started soon after the usual greetings provided by the president. "internal situation?" he, finally, asked
"stable" replied, quietly, Semaun "there is no problem there" he stopped to look at the premier and Yamin which nodded "however there are some problems in northern China, seems that the rebels are advancing."
"But this news arrive from our spies, the government still denies the problem" added Yamin
"should we intervene?" asked Brooke
"i think we should give them more time" replied the premier "the rebels are keeping them busy, so Kemin won't think about strange things. i don't trust him, i want him to fully recognize our mastery, asking our help" he smiled
"and if the situation would degenerate?"
"in that case we should, of course, intervene and crush the rebels"
the president looked at Yamin "i want to be informed, every day, about the situation there, is it ok?"
"sure, President" replied the head of the intelligence
"also, mr. Yamin, how are our spy network going?"
"very well, some days ago i delivered to the chiefs of armed forces my men's reports"
"they were really useful" stated both Shuming and Stukov
"thank you. At the moment we are focusing on Northern China" he looked at the president "of course we continue to watch closely the other powers"
"sounds fine. Mr. Piper?"
"the nuclear reactor is still ongoing, it will be completed in November. Also the missile batteries are almost ready, we will have soon room for other projects"
"good, research?"
"as good as the production part" he replied "the work is going very well and i think we have a project finished within days"
"requests?"
"i think we should go on with missiles" stated Shuming "we have two batteries, and we will have another two soon, we should expand their range and power" he looked at Brooke "they will give us an increased capability of bombing our enemies"
"sounds fine, for me" Brooke looked at the others "uh?"
"it's ok" replied the premier "but i think we should also go on with the paratroopers, our spies reported that they are a very useful tool in war"
"mr. Jitag?"
"we can give them a try" he nodded "but i don't trust those new tactics.."
"i agree with mr. Jitang" stated the President "so start the training. Mr. Hatta?"
"the international situation is quite stable as well. We are currently focusing in mantaining the status quo"
"i like the sound of it. continue" Brooke smiled "status of armed forces?"
"everything it's ok" stated the premier "we are currently studying the countermeasures against our biggest enemies"
"we are reading carefully the reports" added Stukov
"and preparing ourselves" continued Shuming "for the worst scenario"
"indeed" stated Jitang
"so it's ok, gentlemen" said the president "we'll see again next month" he rose and so did the others "gentlemen, goodbye"
as the ministers were leaving the premier remained in the room and approached the president "Charles?" he whispered "we have to talk about a couple of things"


March 1949

Even if the Philippines provided blueprints for the paratroopers, the chief of airforce decided, after the development of 'Basic Air Transport' by the Aeronautics Design Bureau to go again with missiles.


However, on the same day, the premier, seen the arrival of the instructors he wanted, started the training of the first division of paratroopers. He thought that show the unit in battle was the best way to convince the cabinet to fund again the project. Anyway the industrial capacity of the nation didn't allow him to ask also for the planes the troops needed to be successfully used in action.


Only two days later another level of the nuclear reactor was deployed and the work to expand the plant in Nanning started. On the same day Bangkok Arsenal developed 'Semi-Modern Static Anti-Air Artillery'; its task was again confirmed, so new AA guns were put into the research queue.


Five days later, on the 15th of the month, another project was completed, as Industrial Design Bureau developed 'Advanced Night Vision Applications'. As Jitang was busy with his new toys, the chief of air force asked for new fighter to be able to effectively counter the allied air force, as he was convinced that the fighters were much better than the interceptors, as they could have been used also for ground support.

April 1949

During the first days of the month, while the rebellion in china was raging on in Sarawak it was time of technological advances: in fact, Sarawakian Factory Design Bureau developed 'Advanced Marine Division'. The minister of industry, mr. Piper, decided to fold the requests of the premier, who wanted better equipments for his incoming paratroopers, against the chief of army, who wanted to continue the research about marines. His decision was heavly influenced by the president who was looking with concern at the situation in Northern China.


The chinese question exploded in the early morning of the 17th of the month, when Chiang Kai-Shek, the chinese rebel commander, proclaimed the Chinese Republic and formally declared war against Northern China: the second chinese civil war thus started. Soon after Kemin, the pro-sarawakian premier of Northern China, quickly asked for help, recognizing the need China had if military support, also because a high number of his divisions defected to the enemy, thus abdicating a part of sovereignty, which was the thing the sarawakians wanted to keep the country as a puppet.


Some hours after Kemin's request for help the sarawakian president, Charles Brooke, called his war cabinet, which consisted in him, Montag, Yamin, Jitang, Shuming and Hatta; for a meeting, to organize the war.
"mr. Yamin" started the president "situation in northern China"
"well" replied the head of intelligence "the rebels, which called themselves 'Republic of China', are controlling the western part of China, on the border with Xibei San Ma and Tibet"
"their forces?" asked Jitang
"more or less ten divisions" stated Yamin "but some northern chinese divisions defected, we don't know their exact number. But we know they don't have an airforce"
"sounds good" replied Jitang "we should start to move our forces towards them"
"indeed" replied Brooke "mr. Shuming?"
"as they don't have an airforce i suggest you" he looked at Brooke "to let us deliver all the air power we have against them"
"of course"
"i will order my men to start rebasing in Northern Chinese territory or, at least, nearby. to be able to strike them hard, until we have air superiority"
"do it. We'll smash them" said the president "mr. Hatta, what can you tell us about the international reaction?"
"i don't think that someone will meddle in our affairs, right in the heart of our alliance. Maybe there will be a some sort of formal condemnation, but nothing more"
"do you think that our rivals will provide arms to them?"
"The only nation which will do a thing like this would be the USSR, by Mongolia. The others would have to transport the equipments into not friendly nations. In conclusion i don't think that Moscow would provide arms to them, also because we are trying to form an informal axis between Guangzhou and Moscow, to be able to counter the allies effectively"
"anyway i think that will be a good thing to send some scout planes over their borders, to be sure about.." stated the premier "mr. Brooke?"
"sounds right" was the reply of the head of state "mr. Shuming, give some planes to mr. Yamin, who will carry on this operation, is it ok?"
"sure, president" replied Yamin "it's always better not to trust our rivals"
"also mr. Montag and mr. Jitang, start studying a plan for our forces"
"my department is already working on it at the moment, and i mobilized the forces on our western border" stated the premier "also i think that our forces in East Turkestan should be mobilized and have to start moving towards the border, just in case"
"autorized" said the President "see you soon. i want to be informed about everything"

soon after the sarawakian forces started to move towards the border with the enemy


On the second day of war Chiang's troops managed to conquer Kemin's capital, Beijing. The Northern Chinese government was transported some hours before the fall of the city, by some sarawakian planes, to Baoding were the ministers tried to reorganize the state, to be able to continue the war. After the fall of the city the republican forces continued to advance in chinese and manchurian territory, as the forces of both countries were still unprepared for the war, the only difficulty they found was the constant bombing by the sarawakian air force, which pounded them every hour. The only battle was the one between the northern and the republican forces in the north.


The following day, to be able to carry his forthcoming paratrooper division, the premier ordered the production of a wing of transport planes. The war was still raging in the north, as the sarawakian forces were approaching the border.


The 20th of April was another important day in the second chinese civil war, as Xibei San Ma uncovered its intentions and sided with Chiang's forces, leaving the sarawakian sphere, their intentinos were to try to gain some provinces in the west, but Chiang was willing to use them as a buffer against the sarawakian forces in East Turkestan, to have time to defeat Kemin and calling for an ONU ceasefire. Another country which was launched in the war was Tibet, the rulers of which feared Kemin's will of power, but also them had been betrayed by the republican chinese leaders.


On the same day the Sarawakian Air Academy developed 'Multirole Fighter Focus', the next step was on radars, to provide to the ships better detection systems and also to give to the radar station more range and power.


Due to Xibei San Ma's change of side, and Tibet's entry in the war, the sarawakian staff started the 'sweep away the dirt' operation. This operation involved all the forces stationed in East Turkestan, which were ordered to move eastwards, occupying the traitors' lands and also Tibet ones.


The first sarawakian battle was thus fought against tibetan forces. Golpurchin's nine divisions easly defeated the tibetan main army in Nagqu, after only some hours of fighting.


Three days later, on the 23rd, Aeronautics Design Bureau developed 'Ballistic Missile'. This time Shuming claimed the slot, to develop better strategic bombers, as he wanted to destroy Republican China's economy from above, and also to test them in the war.


Some hours later the republican forces managed to win over the northern troops, occupying a province, from which they started to advance, trying to link with the forces in Beijing, which were also advancing. In the same time the republican forces in Hohhot started to move eastwards, to link with the eastern provinces they gained.


Due to the victories of the republican forces, the Bao'an garrison, led by the former Guangxian warlord, started to move towards the airport of Jinan, which was the most important base of the sarawakian air force in Northern China.


Two days later the tibetan forces, plus some republican divisions, were again defeated in Nagqu by Golpurchin's divisions; in the north the sarawakian troops in Qumul continued to advance unopposed in Xibei San Ma's provinces.


On the 28th of the month the sarawakians conquered Dunhuang and started to move towards Jinchang. In the meanwhile, in Sarawak, Bangkok Arsenal developed 'Modern Static Anti-Air Artillery'. The next project was about self propelled artillery, to be able to provide to the infantry divisions more advanced guns.


The last day of the month saw a stop in the sarawakian offensive, as the XX, XXI, XXII SMC were stopped in the battle of Jinchang by the more experienced Xibei San Ma forces.

May 1949

During the first day of the month the republican forces managed to defeat the Northern China's division in Changde, paving the way for a further advance in the area. The following day the nine sarawakian divisions avenged the defeat of Changde with a great victory on a Xibei San Ma's division in Yushu.


The third day of the month was again a day of fight, as sarawakian forces engaged hostile armies in Kangding. Montag's nine mountain divisions faced five republican infantry ones, the battle raged for seven hours before the resistance of the chinese could be defeated; after this battle the sarawakians continued the advance.


Four days later Brooke's armies finally arrived at their destination in Xiaguan, ready to back up the advance in Tibet. The following day the tibetan forces tried to resist to the offensive in Nagqu, but didn't succeed in holding the enemy forces; on the same day Montag's forces arrived in Kangding, ready to go on with the offensive. On the other side of the front Moffatt's armored corps finally arrived in Yucheng and attacked Tianjin, trying to retake Beijing from the republicans. The massive use of armored forces help the sarawakian forces in winning another battle, as the chinese retreated after seven hours of combat.


Some hours later, with both Kangding and Xiaguan occupied the battle for Qamdo started with Montag's troops as the main wave and Brooke's ones as support. Despite the overwhelming force fielded by the sarawakians the republicans managed to hold the line for half a day, before being defeated. On the same day the province of Nagqu was finally occupied, tibetan forces were so closed in a clamp.


In the following days the advance continued on all the fronts, as the enemy was still organizing their defences; only Moffatt's armored forces were stopped after a desperate battle fought by the republicans in Beijing. On the 12th of the month the high sarawakian command ordered three corps to move faster towards Golmud, to strengthen the frontline and secure the flank of the northern advance. On the same days the sarawakian scientists developed a new, powerful, device. It was a little missile which could be fired from the ground to hit air targets; the scientists stated that this missile would have led to more efficient AA batteries, as the missiles were more powerful that the old AA bullets.


On the night between the 12th and the 13th three corps arrived in Zhaotung and at the dawn they started the offensive against the fortified province of Ya'an. The impact of those perfect trained divisions on the disorganized republican forces was irresistible and the province was cleared after only four hours.


On the night of the same days Xibei San Ma forces tried to stop the sarawakain advance in Tibet, but the divisions in Kangding proved to be an hard nut to crack and the chinese forces didn't manage to defeat them. While the battle for Kangding was being fought the forces in Korla defeated the chinese garrison in Yushu; the two offensives, the one from the west and the one from the east, were near to be connected.


During the following days the provinces of Nagqu, Qumul and Jinan were reached by the sarawakian forces, they soon after were ordered to consolidate the frontline, not to let the chinese exploit the holes in the line. Despite the sarawakian victories the northern chinese troops suffered a very large number of defeats, and the republican forces were near to conquer Datong, which would have connected the Beijing pocket at the main lands of Republican China. To avoid that Moffatt decided to try again to attack the chinese capital, as the republican moved almost all their forces southwards to try to reach Datong faster, leaving only a division in Beijing. This lonely division, squeezed between the armored forces and the bombers, lasted four hours before the defeat, as they fought bravely for their capital.


On the same day Sarawakian Naval Academy developed 'Improved Detection Systems'; as the ministers didn't believe that the chinese civil war would have lasted for too long they all agree that the next project had to be about better aerial sub detection systems, in order to be able to frustrate any enemy effort in sinking convoys in Indonesia.


The following day, the 18th, saw the SaFIS inflitrating the Republican China's government. The information the spy gave to the sarawakian staff were very precious as it confirmed the enemy lacked airforce, and it showed also its current military strenght.


On the early morning of the 19th the sarawakian tanks entered in Beijing, leading the northern chinese government to be reinstalled in its capital. The republican forces, however, tried to conquer again the province, but their efforts were defeated, in a bloody battle in the outskirts of the city.


In the following days the whole sarawakin offensive stopped, except for the divisions moving towards Qamdo, as the chiefs decided it was better to give to the troops some time to rest. In the meanwhile Sarawakian Factory Design Bureau developed 'Basic Airborne Division', next project was again taken by the navy, and the army, which asked for better equipment for the marines, as a war against the allies would have required a strong landing force to perform island hopping, this time also the premier agreed as he tought the equipments developed for the paratroopers was good enough.


The offensive was taken again on the 24th when 27 divisions attacked the province of Golmud. Although heavly outnumbered and deorganized the chinese troops managed to resist two hours before their complete collapse.


While the battle for Golmud was raging on, Republican Spain unloaded three divisions in Dalian and soon after placed them under the sarawakian command. Those divisions were soon sent in Beijing to strenghten the line and prepare the clearing of the Baoding pocket.


Some days later Bangkok Arsenal developed 'Basic Self-Propelled Artillery', the next step was decided to be about a general improvement of the other self propelled batteries, used mainly by the armored corps, to have better models to test them, as the plan was to give them also to the infantry divisions. On the same days the province of Gar was occupied by Ul-Zaman's troops.


On the 28th of the month the forces in Gar and Nagqu started the offensive against the province of Kagar. Ul-Zaman's forces formed the main wave, while Golporchin's ones supported the main attack and covered the eastern flank of the operations. The chinese divisions managed to resist until the dawn of the following day, as they were deeply entrenched into the mountains, before the defeat.
