I enjoy your style of telling the story. It is also much more enjoyable to read a story when it is a challenge as opposed to a push over.

Well done. I look forward to reading what your plans are now.

Welcome .

What now? A plan is slowly forming up in my mind, but it will require that our army is at full fight condition again and that most facilities are repaired.

But that doesn't mean we couldn't take on smaller objectives to keep the pressure on the chinese forces. I decided to expand our conquered territory to the west a bit, then we have localize some nice oil wells, the first ones we would own. This map shows our objectives for this small offensive.



1. Small city of Dongsheng with over 90k people. We must take this city to ensure our grasp on the oil fields.
2. City of with Yinchuan ca. 450k people, barracks and an air field.

Marked as a and b are both oil wells.

1st Oct 2021 the city of Dongsheng and surroundings has been taken, also our first oil field. A small force advance along the road to the west side of the river. At the same time the chinese army is making a counter offensive to the east trying to recapture the military facilities we conquered. Casualties mount on both sides, but this is something we can't afford...



Bad news is that our manpower reserves are at a minimum: a bit over 5k man. With war operations ongoing, many units in repair and many other being build, this is in no way enough. I have increased the military salaries in the hope more man will be willing to fight in our army. But at the moment our best bet is to continue conquering land and population. I fear we wil come soon to the point where we will not be able to man our repaired or new build battallions. Our total army sums about 105 thousand man at present, not that much really, but this are the woes of a still small country.



On the other side the chinese army don't have this fears, indeed. They continue sending units in a steady counter offensive towards my lines, forcing me to fight back and have casualties. We must hurry in our conquest, is the only way i see to avoid being overrun by the chinese forces. We need more people, fortunately we are still liberating mongol land, so many new mongol citizens are joining our cause.

1st Nov 2021 we are close to the city of Yinchuan, already prepared to make the final assault. We receive also a good news: our tech has increased to the 82 level.



5th Dec 2021 the city of Yinchuan has fallen in our hands. During the last two months the chinese army has tried to break the line all over the place. The fights have been continous and fierce. 387 chinese and 29 mongol units have been destroyed so far in this war. Over 170 chinese battaillons have fallen during our small advance to the west, we lost 14 battaillons and our casualties doubled to a total of 45 thousand men. It seems our liberation of South Mongolia will be written in blood. So be it.



Meanwhile a plan has been maturing in our headquarters. If we wish to keep our conquest we must continue advancing. Keep moving or die, from that my generals are convinced. Fair enough. But, in which direction?

Not much seem to have change in the east, Russia and China continue the fights in this area, without any of them getting a clear advantage.
To the east, Kazakhstan and China are also at combat, but again here, it doesn't seem to have change much since the beginning of our war.

After some thoughts, the best option for us seems to continue our offensive to the west along the south road of the Gobi desert (show as a big arrow in the screenshot).
As a green Y is marked the city of Yinchuan, recently conquered by us. Our first objective would be the area around Lanzhou, a big city of 1.7 mill people, marked with the number 2. Once this keypoint is taken, we will advance along the road towards the northwest to the actual Kazakhstan border. It its a very long trip from over two thousand kilometers, just to get a reference on how big this country is.



The area marked with a 3 belongs to the more mountanous regions and will be included as an objective of the offensive depending on how strong the chinese defenses and counter offensives result. In case it can't be taken at the same time as the main offensive area (number 2), it should be attacked just after arriving at the Kazakhstan border. South of area 3 chinese and indian forces fight all over these gigantic himalayan area.

Well, this is our plan. We have even a name for the next mission. Everything seems ready, everything but our military.
Again we suffer under almost no manpower reserves. Our actual 14 mill people are still not enough, though our economic data are slighly better (41% inflation, 1,2% unemployment).



This means that our offensive will be slow. We will continuily have to wait to our manpower to fill the casualties ranks, as well as to man the new produced units. It makes no sense yet to construct more military facilities. Population is still our most valuable and scarce resource, good that China has enough to spend some to us. We must move, as fast as we can, but still, it will be a slow advance.

Oh well, so are things and delaying our offensive will not make things better. Lets go west. Let our second offensive begin.

On a side note, news from the world:
10th Dic 2021 Congo is conquered by Central Africa

MISSION: WEST THROUGH THE GOBI

On 19 Dec 2021 we begin the offensive. Here a screenshot of the first objective: the city of Yinchuan and surroundings, which inlclude a military facility with two air fabs to the southeast. Marked with a 2 is the a small area we want to advance to in order to control another oil field (marked with an a).



2 Feb 2022 we are close to our objective and preparing the assault. Advance has been slow due to the heavy manpower problems, we continue to get messages of units unable to deploy and labor shortage. I expect Yinchuan to be well defended wo we will concentrate some more forces before ordering the assault.



6th Feb 2022 some scouting shows that the city is defended by 50-70 units. Many of them are AA and artillery, so i decide to repeat the hit and run tactics to reduce their numbers, before going with the main assault.

14th Feb 2022 main assault begins.



18th Feb 2022 Yinchuan is taken. The destruction of the north bridge during the assault make things more difficult, but at last the city falls. Now we go for the military complex.



This was an error. Many, many chinese air units take off to defend the airfield. Despite my support of the offensive with a few AA and 6 F-35C the attack force (2 tanks bataillons and 4 APCs) is obliterated by the enemy airforce. We will wait to get another assault corps ready, this time i think we can take the complex. In the meantime our F-35 squadrons continue the fight with the chinese air units. With each encounter some enemy units get badly damaged or even destroyed. Also some enemy APCs continue coming from the south, trying to retake the city, but our forces manage to defend the new positions.

26th Feb 2022. The second attack is succesfull and the military complex is in our hands. Some other facilities and a small city a bit south of Yinchuan is are still in enemy's hand, these are our next goal.

6th Mar 2022 area is taken and secured. There are some barracks to the north in the city of Xining from where artillery units are bombarding my forces (blue circle). I will take this city to end those attacks.

19th Mar 2022 assault on Xining.



26 Mar 2022 all cities are taken. The area is secured and our objective achieved.



Once again our offensive encountered heavy defenses. Once again it was very bloody. About 282 chinese units have been killed in this operation upping their total casualties in this war to 669 units. Also 12 of our units and 40 thousand man have fallen on our side during this offensive. The path of conquest is hard and the will of the chinese to defend each city and every facility is still unbroken. But so is also our will to victory. The earth will be under mongol rule and at last peace will reign.

But, despite that, the good new is that our population now sums 39,5 mill people! And over 30 thousand man are already in the reserve waiting to man our military units. Also Some new production facilities, a research center and a new military complex have been added to our economy.

Now is time to follow the road south of Gobi to the northwest.

23th April 2022, the advance along the Gobi road continues with only small combats, mainly against garrisons in cities. We have taken two new oil fields complex (black cirlce), as well, as the military complex of Jiuquan, a orbital launch complex in the middle of the Gobi. As soon as they get repaired we will begin building our first satellites.



1st Aug 2022. Advance has continued towards the west, without much to show. At last our forces are in position and the assault of the city of Urumqui and the nearby military complex is about to begin. We can see the border to Kazakhstan to the west, not much far away.



3th Aug 2022, both objectives are taken. As soon as these units are under supply we will take the reamining cities and facilities, the last ones in chinese hands in this area.

12th Aug 2022: mission accomplish. All the original objectives areas are conquered (included number 3). There is still land in chinese hands, but with no citie or complex to sustain it. We will now completely take it just by letting our APCs take control of the roads, while our airforces destroy any enemy units that are still in these areas.



The conquest of the west is achieved. It took some time to travel those 2,3 thousand kilometers and to let supply catch in, but the fights were not very intensive.



There are now 75 mill people under our rule. That makes a big difference. Now i must build up the economy for all those people, while building a decent offensive force for the next phase of our war with China.
