A New Dynasty is the first scenario of the Asian Campaign in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest.
Briefing[]
Xinhua Herald -- May 03, 2035
After a turbulent political election, a new figurehead has risen to take the leadership of what was the Republic of China. This man, Hu Kwan Do, head of the Kwan Do electronics and communications conglomerate, now finds himself on the brink of a civil war unequaled in his nations -- and perhaps all the world's -- history'.
Several radical groups wholly opposed to Kwan Do's policies fled the capitol after the election and set up or joined existing camps of outlaws and terrorists. Through coercion of the local populous, these groups have gathered enough support to wage open war against the new Dynasty.
The last three weeks have been one of intense struggle for the newly formed UFAR government. Rebel attacks and acts of terrorism have almost crippled the economic and military production of the entire country. The rebels have succeeded in stealing technologies and military hardware and are using this to their advantage.
The loss of life has been horrendous. Emperor Kwan Do has been pushed to his limits and has come to a decision, which he announced yesterday:
"For the good of the nation, this civil war must end. Violently, as violence seems to be the only language these terrorist groups understand."
Using the enormous resources of his communications empire and the many Global Satellites it has, the New Dynasty now awaits its Emperor's command to unleash the power of its might upon the rebels.
Objectives[]
° Secure the U. F. A. R. Capitol City from Rebel and Terrorist Attacks
° Protect Dr. Sung from assassination attempts
° Research and Develop a New Technology - The Extrasensory Stimulus Signal
° Use Riot Police and Military Fire-Power to eliminate two of the four rebel strongholds
° Emperor Hu Kwan Do, Chancellor Ming and the revered scientist Dr. Kwai Sung must survive.
We must effect a rescue of Dr. Sung as soon as possible.
° Use ground troops and vehicles to create an escort with which to bring Dr. Sung to the mainland.
° It is possible that the rebels have temporarily blocked Dr. Sung's passage to the City, and since we have no way to transport him either by sea or air, it might be best to give him a time until we can procure a safe means of transportation for him.
° Although there are four pockets of rebel resistance, we need only eliminate two of them to achieve victory.
° Construct a new University so that Dr. Sung may continue his research on the ESS technology, and also re-enable our ability to train more efficient military troops.
° We must get Dr. Sung safely to the University in our main base, so that he can continue his research. We must accomplish this before more assassination attempts are made in his life.
Hints[]
° As you will see, the resources you have at the beginning are few. Quickly build up a robust economy to fuel the military numbers you will need to defeat the rebels.
° Expect a hard fight at the from outset ... the rebels mean business and are desperate to end what they see as Emperor Kwan Do's tyrannical rule.
° A renowned scientist, Dr. Kwai Sung, is developing the ESS technology. Make sure that he is protected at all times.
° A large farming community sits on the northern hill in your main base, overlooking the Bo Hai Sea. Protect it, as it is your only means of feeding your troops.
° Use your satellites to scout the surrounding terrain for the rebel bases.
History[]
In the early part of the 21st Century, The People's Republic of China, felt itself threatened by several factors that it feared would lessen its standing on the world stage.
Chief among these were the rampant crime leagues that had spread throughout all of the country, the countries frightening population explosion, and finally the World Trade Organization's invitation to Taiwan, which China has always considered as a rogue province.
Added to this was the startling announcement that since the discovery of water and mineral deposits on Mars, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had put into motion a massive Space Colonization Program that it would soon begin sending colony-building missions to the Red Planet.
The Kwan Do Corporation-- an electronics and communications powerhouse, ruled by a ruthless and ambitious line of nobles that could trace their lineage back to the Qin Dynasty --seized the opportunity to capitalize on this series of events and brought about through shady deals and rigged elections, a new Dynasty that would head the Chinese government.
This leader of this new Dynasty, Hu Kwan Do, realized that in order to compete in this new environment it must act quickly to achieve an equal level of economic and technologic stability so that China could join in this new race to colonize Mars.
Therefore, the new Chinese government, quietly and discreetly, put into motion a subtle police and military campaign, that (on the surface) seemed to be an effort to aid in the Global War on Terrorism. However, as became apparent quite early on, this campaign was more about China's growing need to provide land for its swelling population and the acquisition of resources to fuel its economic and technological needs.
As was to be expected, the enormous strain of the economic spending and an extended military action lead to intense internal tensions and reactions to these new political policies and created an atmosphere ripe for revolt and economic chaos - a classic case of the Old Order vs. the New Order.
In order to quell these internal uprisings Hu Kwan Do is forced to round up radical groups of freedom fighters and religious fanatics who feel they have been betrayed by this sudden political shift. With the proliferation of technology and weapons, these splinter groups almost tear the country apart with acts of nuclear and bio-weapon terrorism.
All through the turbulence of the election, The Kwan Do Corporation, has been working towards perfecting new technologies that will allow this new China to compete in Space Exploration. In the Early part of the 21st Century, after mineral deposits and ice were discovered on Mars, many nations began to quickly seek out cheap and effective means to rapidly increase their space exploration programs.
So, not only will the new Emperor have to deal with internal struggles, there is an outer struggle hovering on the horizon -- a struggle that will ultimately spell either doom and destruction, or a new era of supremacy and prosperity for the new United Federation of Asian Republics.
The last three weeks have been one of intense struggle for the newly formed UFAR government. Rebel attacks and acts of terrorism have almost crippled the economic and military production of the entire country. The rebels have succeeded in stealing several technologies and military hardware and are using this to their advantage.
The only hope for the UFAR is one Dr. Kwai Sung -- a brilliant, fascist-thinking genius whose expertise in biomechanics the human genetics will provide the UFAR government with the means to quell the rebel attacks ... if they can keep him alive.
Dr. Sung has been targeted for assassination on numerous occasions....
