Jewel in the East is the fourth scenario of the Russian Campaign in Empire Earth. It deals with Grigor II and his personally led forces and their campaign in China.
Briefing[]
Jewel in the East: 2092
With his power base firmly established, Grigor II began a lightning campaign to defeat the last remaining power on the continent that still posed a major threat to Novaya Russia: mighty China.
The slaughter was terrible. Wave after wave of Chinese defenders were met by matching waves of Black Robes. The stalemate was finally broken in the highlands of Mongolia, which had the misfortune of being caught in between the two clashing superpowers. The Russians achieved a major breakthrough, but at a terrible price.
Now, the spearhead of the Russian forces has moved far beyond their lines of supply. The bitter fighting and equally bitter Mongolian Winter, in an ironic twist on Russian history, has begun to take its toll on Novaya Russia's flesh and blood troops. if total victory is not achieved soon, it may never be.
But Grigor II and his personally-led forces have nearly reached their ultimate goal: Beijing, the Chinese capital. While the massive armies on both sides continue to fight, a secret mission has been launched to capture the Factories that are producing the bulk of the Chinese forces. If this daring raid succeeds, the Chinese forces will surely crumble. Victory is close, but timing will be everything.
Hints[]
- Remember that Priests are needed to convert buildings.
- Remember that nearby Universities will prevent you from converting things.
- Move quickly to convert the Cyber Factories at Baotou. You'll need them to produce additional troops.
- Be careful not to destroy too many Cyber-producing buildings, because more cannot be built.
- The Chinese Pagodas serve as Barracks for them.
- You will want to refer to the manual for detailed information on Cyber units, as they will be the only Cybers available to you.
History[]
The conquest of China had been described in detail to Grigor II by Grigor before his death. Indeed, plans for the invasion had been drawn up years before, noting everything down to the smallest detail: troop concentrations, points of attack, supplies and logistics, and so on. but decades of unrest and localized revolts forced the new leader of Novaya Russia to put off the campaign in China. It was a calculated move, for Grigor II knew that all distractions had to be eliminated if Novaya Russia hoped to succeed... but time also played against them.
Over the course of the 21st Century, China had secured its place as one of the world's greatest powers - with a flourishing economy, high-tech industries, and a strong military. Moreover, as Novaya Russia spent years expanding its Western and Southwestern borders, China had prepared herself for a possible confrontation with her neighbor to the north.
Finally, in the spring of 2092, Grigor II was satisfied that his empire was firmly under his control and his forces were prepared for the coming war. Moreover, China's on-again off-again relationship with the United States had once again soured, ensuring that US forces would not be directly involved in the conflict. The time was right, but wars often do not go as planned, and the initial Russian advance quickly faltered. With the war in danger of dragging on indefinitely, decisive action was needed...
Objectives[]
- Convert and defend at least 8 Chinese Cyber Factories or Cyber Laboratories.
- Grigor II and Major Molotov must both survive.
- Bring Molotov to the Science Complex in Xi'an to steal Chinese technology.
- Bring Molotov up to the Time Machine in Beijing.
