The year is 2030, and the world watches with bated breath as the uneasy relationship between China and NATO teeters on the edge of a precipice. The seeds of this conflict can be traced back to a series of long-standing geopolitical disputes that finally boiled over, sending ripples through the international community.

The story begins in the tense and contentious waters of the Taiwan Strait. The region had long been a point of contention, with China asserting its sovereignty over Taiwan, while the United States and several NATO member states supported Taiwan's quest for independence and self-determination. Tensions had been rising for years as military build-ups and saber-rattling became the norm.

The flashpoint emerged when the United States dispatched a carrier strike group into the Taiwan Strait to conduct routine freedom of navigation operations. The U.S. cited its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of international waterways, while China viewed this as a direct provocation and infringement on its territorial sovereignty.

China responded swiftly and aggressively. As the U.S. carrier entered the Taiwan Strait, it was met with a flotilla of Chinese naval vessels, including destroyers, submarines, and the new Aircraft carriers. A tense standoff ensued, with both sides refusing to yield.

As the standoff persisted, the situation escalated when a Chinese naval vessel fired warning shots across the bow of the U.S. carrier. The U.S. responded with defensive measures, including deploying fighter jets to escort the carrier and calling for international mediation to defuse the situation.

August 2030.Despite diplomatic efforts to mediate, the confrontation eventually took a tragic turn. A miscommunication and a series of unfortunate events led to a naval clash between Chinese and U.S. forces, resulting in the loss of life on both sides. The world watched in horror as the situation rapidly deteriorated into a full-scale military conflict.

The conflict sent shockwaves throughout the international community. NATO members rallied to support the United States, while other nations struggled to navigate the complex web of alliances and geopolitical interests. As the conflict unfolded, it became clear that the entire world was on the brink of a global crisis.

Neither side declared war yet, but it's expected to happen at any moment. Chinese morale is at an all-time high, as they have been preparing for this kind of engagement for more than 30 years.

Our Unit

Guangzhou South Blade Force

China has reportedly developed a force capable of carrying out long-range airborne operations, long-range reconnaissance, and amphibious operations. Formed in China's Guangzhou military region and known by the nickname South Blade, the force supposedly receives army, air force, and naval training, including flight training, and is equipped with "hundreds of high-tech devices", including global-positioning satellite systems. All force members officers are military staff college graduates, and 60 percent are said to have university degrees.

Soldiers are reported to be cross-trained in various specialties, and training encompassing a wide range of operating environments. It is far from clear whether this unit is considered operational by the Chinese. It is also not clear how such a force would be employed. Among the missions stated missions include: responding to contingencies in various regions and cooperating with other services in attacks on islands.

According to the limited reporting, the organisation appears to be in a phase of testing and development and may constitute an experimental unit. While no size for the force has been revealed, there have been Chinese media claims that over 1000 soldiers of the force are all-weather and versatile fighters and parachutists who can fly airplanes and drive terrain vehicles and amphibious boats.It is the most Elite Unit in the World by far.

Pratas Island is an island which is located southwest of Taiwan.The island is heavily defended with strong beach defenses and inner island layers of entrenchments. When we capture this island, we will control the flow of any NATO ships and will get early warning of NATO fleet movement.

It is September 5th, 2030, two days after the destruction of most of the Taiwan Navy at their bases.

Our mission is to get to the Island and Capture it as quickly as possible in order to establish a large Aeronautical Base there.
