According to some sources, and it has become very troublesome, everyone tell different stories, Han Wu would favour an uprising in North Korea so he wouldn't have to defeat the Koreans himself. Rumors from Manchuria say the Army of the Living is still advancing. One of Han Wu's generals have said that Han Wu has told him that he want to liberate Asia from Communist influences. Other rumors say the Forbidden City will be restored as the new Imperial Residence, while other rumors say Han Wu will build a completely new capital (as mentioned there are several versions of everything). Some diplomatic sources say Han Wu want to open relations with both Washington and Moscow. We also know that the man in charge of the Manchurian campaign is one of Han Wu's cousins.
 
Well, he has declared he is a grand nephew of Jesus Christ, among his many other claims, he is a very ambitous man indeed.
That rumor has been proven to be false time and time again. Honestly, stop reading the tabloids!
Well, he said he was a decendant of Hong Xiuquan, leader of the Taiping Rebellion, nothing with Christ. Hong said he was Christ's brother, so people are making inferences.

The British in HK have been quiet.

EDIT: The BBC is reporting the Army of the Living has invaded Mongolia! Do they want Qing borders?

Well, I'm sure plenty of people in China these days are descended from Hong Xiuquan. And IIRC, he only mentioned that when he was asked during an interview if he was descended from anyone important. And he elaborated that Hong Xiuquan failed because he didn't have the Mandate of Heaven. But people who didn't like him immediately started saying that Han Wu had claimed to be the grandnephew of Christ.


As to the Borders, it's a possibility. My, admittedly incomplete, understanding is that anyone who claims to have the Mandate of Heaven must at least claim direct de jure rulership over any lands previously ruled under the Mandate.


Also, I've heard the Dalai Lama has accepted Han Wu's apology.
 
(OOC: I guess there is no real other way for this to go down)

Headline:

North Korea dies with a Bang, Not a whimper.

Nuclear Exchange seals the Fate of North Korea

We knew something like this was going to happen...

Apparently, North Korea launched five nuclear missiles against China; two of them malfunctioned, not exploding but instead leaving a pile of radioactive waste. A third, aimed at Beiping, apparently detonated well before its intended target, somewhere over the Yellow Sea.

The other two missiles hit reasonably near their targets...Tianjin and Shanghai both took nuclear hits; the estimated death toll is expected to be as high as eight million.

I guess China had a plan in place, because North Korea just took something like twenty nuclear hits in response. The destruction of Hauju was clearly visible from Seoul, producing a brilliant light and mushroom cloud visible in spite of its distance (some sixty miles). At least four weapons hit Pyongyang, and the South Korean news is going nuts. They are claiming that two entire North Korean divisons have defected to the South across the DMZ, that massive firestorms can be seen across the border, and that US and South Korean forces have moved North.

Whatever remains of the North Korean government has entirely lost control of the situation, and The UN has entered an emergency session calling for an end to nuclear weapons usage and for North Korea's armed forces to stand down.

No reply yet from newly Crowned Han Wu, but we expect a statement to emerge shortly.

(OOC: I guess I don't really see much other way this would go down. Sorry guys.)

 
(OOC: Well, I was going to post that there was a nuclear exchange, but that both sides have been so far sticking to military targets. But your's does make more sense.)


I personally support China in this, they retaliated. If it had been America or Russia that NK had aimed those missiles at, NK would be a radioactive crater instead of only having a few cities wiped off the map.


(EDIT: OOC: Also, I take it we're fast forwarding a week to the crowning?)
 
OOC: These last posts have probably been accelerated a good deal. I would suggest this would be a month after my previous post. This would also take into account that the military positions are changing. Seriously, you've got Chinese Troops on the Yalu--that would have to be the point where NK nukes.

Well, do consider that China's nuclear response was not only decapitating, it essentially hit every major installation in the Country, and the Yongbyon Nuclear Plant was hit twice. China was careful to avoiding hitting targets in the DMZ, but there is no doubt that North Korea still lost about 30% of its population with this attack.

That's right, if America or the Soviet Union had been attacked, they may well have glassed the place, but I think Han China probably had a deal with the United States and South Korea to aim for the government as much as possible.

Its ugly, but it had to be done. We don't know how many other nukes North Korea had, either...

True enough, but Han China was still in the right. I've also heard that some in Taiwan are agitating about annexation. Unfortunately I haven't been following event in Asia that closely lately, can you tell us how Han Wu's been doing domestically?

There is hell to pay domestically. 7.8 million dead in the attacks, Shanghai and Tianjin in need of evacuation and reconstruction. All of this on top of the aging infrastructure that the Communists neglected. Plans for Mongolia have been put on hold owing to extraordinary circumstances. There is still scattered fighting in Manchuria, and the Soviet Union may have managed to pull a fast one and shave some territory from Xinjiang in all of the confusion.

It is hard to express the outrage against Koreans breaking out in China. Migrants and laborers are being lynched, and an even worse fate is believed to be breaking out against Korean PoWs.

Furthermore, Han China appears to be threatening a nuclear response to Vietnam if it dares attack at this point. The Viets are pulling south--my suspicion is that they didn't see this coming.

Some claim that Shanghai and Tianjin will become symbols of "Living China" after this tragedy--the metaphor is very evocative, and only the diehard communists are left fighting in the bushes...

Han Wu's office has informed that the main issue is now to take care of the survivors from the nuclear attacks on China. He once again accuse Communists from killing Asians without mercy. He also says his cousin is leading a peacekeeping force to reestablish order in North Korea. He says he really want a new friendly and stable government in Pyongyang. He has also verified the facts that former PRC units has been integrated into the Army of the Living. He has supported the opening of a new Academy in Beijing to educate Mandarin officials.
 
The ROK is protesting Han's move- imagine if even after Kim Jong Il falls, you still have a divided Korea! In Xingang, however, the Army of the Living of "Great Han Wu" hold Kashgar and Urumqui.

It's the "Army of Living China" not the "Army of the Living".

I am skeptical of anything you say regarding what's happening in China. Can anyone else confirm this?

The Emperor said that he wanted a friendly relationship with the future ruling government of North Korea, but gave no indication that he intended to establish a puppet regime there. I believe talks are still ongoing with the South Korean government about a potential turnover.
 
Looks like we've got a deal brokered in New York over the fate of North Korea, the Spratlys and Xinjiang.

In exchange for a massive quantity of aid, Han China has agreed to "sell" its claims to these regions. Han Wu's official word is that he bargained for aid with the world and got a generous offer.

I can confirm that Han China is indeed sending forces into North Korea, but the force is under 10,000 and amounts to a sweep for any surviving nuclear weapons. This was approved by the security council, although loud protests were heard from Cuba and Ethiopia.

South Korea's plans for a reunified Korea have been amended for the nuclear attacks, but are otherwise going forward with the blessing of the USA, Soviet Union, and Japan. Another arrangement indicates that any survivng members of the Kim Jong Il government or officials with the North Korean Nuclear Program are to face the ICC for their role in what is apparently a nuclear holocaust.

The situation with Vietnam is tense. While Vietnam is decidedly communist, it played no active role in supporting the Su Hua government in China's civil war, and the nuclear threat lingers in the air. Hanoi appears to be panicking--nationwide messages to evacuate the cities are ongoing, leading to a panicked populace. Perhaps it is simply a combination of propaganda and the events of a nuclear exchange with North Korea, but Vietnam is mortified of a nuclear attack.

Rumors no talk about a non- agression pact between the USSR and China, can anyone confirm this?? I have also heard rumors about diplomatic deals with Japan and Myanmar. Perhaps peaceful times are ahead?? Han Wu has appointed his cousin the "Special Envoy to Korea". We know this cousin was a great general, now it seems he is a diplomat too. Wether Han Wu is going to reign from the Forbidden City or not has not yet been confirmed.
 
Well, his cousin did show able abilities as a politician as well as a general during the civil war IIRC. Also Han Wu's statement on the non-aggression pacts and diplomatic deals is that "While China is alive again, she is still weak and sickly from the abuses of the Communists. She must be made strong and healthy again before she can take her place on the world stage." At least, that's the translation I got.


So it looks like China is going to be focusing on internal matters for a while.
