The Imperial Empire - is that a neighbor country of the Royal Kingdom? Or of the Republican Republic? Are they allied with the United Union?

No, it's the Empire from Star Wars. UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!The Imperial Empire - is that a neighbor country of the Royal Kingdom? Or of the Republican Republic? Are they allied with the United Union?
To: Attalus: Yes, I plan to invade Europe as soon as possible, and probably wont even wait for Indonesia to surrender either.
To: Asalto: The biggest long term effect of Japanese remilitarization will probably be Japan becoming the pre-eminent power in Asia after the war is over.
To: Everyone: thanks for your comments!
Striking Back: Part 12
Indonesian forces melt away before the march of combined US and ANZAC troops. It does not take long to reach Jakarta, and overwhelm the city's small garrison. Australian forces take control of the Presidential Palace and other major landmarks across Jakarta, signifying the fall of all of Java to allied forces.
Meanwhile, in Britain, it appears that Prime Minister Uruqhart has been directing his industries to begin mass production of long range cruise missiles, for use against the homelands of the SCO's member states.
With Japan secure, the American Joint Chiefs have decided that its time to shift the full focus of American military efforts back to the European area. Leaving behind a small US garrison and an American carrier fleet to protect Japan while the country builds up a new military, thousands of elite American marines and infantry units board transport ships that will take them halfway around the world to North Africa.
It takes over a month for the fleet to make the long journey out of SCO territorial waters, through the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal, to their destination in Tunisia. After some brief reorganization, they get their orders, to seize control of the Mediterranean islands that are still under the rule of the SCO's client states.
American marines arrive to find only light garrisons of European SCO troops, if any garrison exists at all. While Corsica and the Balearic Islands fall with no resistance, they fight Italian and Greek troops for control of Sardinia and Crete. They are far out of their league against battle hardened American marines.
By early August, all of the Meditteranean islands, and with them their valuable Naval and Air Bases are in US hands. Now, US commanders can begin the process of relocating more troops, along with large numbers of aircraft, to these islands. Also note the destruction of the German Union Navy ships by an American fleet operating in the North Sea.
Finally, a Polish tank brigade has apparently gotten lost in the Caribbean, attempting for some reason to take over the Dominican republic. Dominican national guards, soon reinforced by US troops positioned in Haiti, throw them back into the sea.

Invading the European continent will be a huge undertaking, though. Godspeed to your valiant armies!
Interestingly enough, during the Haitian Revolution a group of soldiers from the Grand Duchy of Warsaw were sent by Napoleon to help the Imperial Army. These Polish troops must be their successors!
Nice Polish diversion in Haiti, altough they should have deployed marine or SOF brigade instead of armor. Those tanks must have been opened like a tin cans without any friendly support.
Fighting in Siberia and Central Asia is going to be a nightmare, I already know...
I was starting to get worried that this thread wouldn't be continued after the very long period of time with no updates.
Its great to know though this thread is still alive and well, always good to see an update from Kaiser_Mobius. And once again, never fails to impress.

You did something like operation Husky... Good.
Remember to block the gap between Calabria and Sicily, then proceed to invade it!

Early August, 2021: SCO Strategy Conference
Astana, Kazakh Autonomous Republic, Russia
"Thousands of men lost! Hundreds of tanks and vehicles! I still can't understand how you can sit there and continue to look so confident after this latest disaster!" boomed one of the members of the Russian delegation. Xiao Ri had heard alot of these outbursts as of late and it was beginning to try his patience. "How are we ever going to win this war if we keep suffering defeats like the one in Japan! Your foolish strategy has led us to disaster time and time again!"
"What happened in Japan was but a minor setback on the road to victory." Xiao replied. "While I accept that perhaps we had....underestimated the resolve of the Americans and their allies, there is no need for such apocalyptic statements! This war is far from being over, and if you will refrain from letting despair cloud your judgeme-"
"Underestimated?!?!" The member of the Russian delegation shouted again. "Is that what you call it! Our best fleets destroyed, our armies in the America's, Africa, Japan, and Britain wiped out! Many of our puppets and allies now little more than refuges in our borders or prisoners of the Americans! And whats worse, is the rearmament of both Britain and Japan, two more major powers which will soon be ready to make war against us! I would not call that underestimation, but a disaster!"
"General Kosygin!" Shouted the Russian President. "You will cease these outbursts at once, and allow our Chinese allies to explain our strategy going forward! Many of our people have fought and died to bring us this far, I will not allow their deaths to have been in vain! Now, Chairman Xiao, please continue." General Kosygin looked ready to keep up his arguing, but he then proceeded to keep quiet as the other members of the Russian delegation stared him down. Xiao looked around the room, and couldn't help but notice some of the nervous expressions coming from some of the member's delegations.
"This bickering is pointless!" Xiao declared. "We have suffered losses, but where those troops have fallen, we have many millions more ready to replace them. And do not forget, that from here on, the enemy will have to fight on our terms now." Several delegations nodded in approval. "Up until now, we have been fighting the kind of war that the enemy fights: far overseas, with large expeditionary forces away from their homelands. We had succeeded far beyond what was thought possible until our fortunes in America turned against us. Now the enemy enjoys a great advantage in terms of ships and positioning towards us. But, they cannot beat our alliance with ships alone."
He continued. "The SCO controls the entire landmass of Eurasia, with the exception of course of those broken wastelands in India and the Middle East. The Americans cannot wait us out, or blockade us. To win, the enemy will have to land an army on Eurasia and fight us on the ground. It is here, that we will crush them. Our armies vastly outnumber the Americans, they will need to throw their full force against us to have any chance of success, and when they do we will meet them head on and wipe them out. When we do, we will break their ability to wage war against us, and leave them no choice but to sue for peace."
A member of the North Korean delegation now spoke. "Our glorious nation and our Dear Leader will fight alongside our valiant allies to crush the American capitalist hordes and their puppets! With our combined strength the enemy will not stand a chance against our valiant armies!" Xiao always appreciated the zeal of his North Korean allies. A round of applause rose up from the delegations, if there was still any dissent, it was well hidden now. Xiao was now more than confident in the success of the SCO, when the Americans come, they would be ready for them....

Mmmmh... Russia seems to be just the second in command, with China leading the show...
Looks like SCO is still in high spirits. Altough their optimism is not too unrealistic. If they play smart, they'll turn Eurasian landmass into one big fortress/unsinkable aircraft carrier.
Comparing Russia's economic strength and population to China's - Yes, of course Russia would be just the second in command.
The Heartland versus the Insular Crescent, who will prevail?
While domination of all of Eurasia may seem to be an insurmountable advantage, in practice the SCO cannot fortify and defend the entirety of Eurasia's vast coastline, not unless they had decades to prepare, which they don't. There will always be somewhere to land.
