Just discovered this timeline and finished reading everything within 2 days. Really enjoyed it so far.
Just wondering, will this timeline be continued, or has it been abandoned, as the last update was from 3 months ago?
okmangeez do you receive?
okmangeez please report status.
We need an update now !!!
okmangeez even said that he was pretty much done with "Northern Limit Line" IIRC, so I agree.
Let's not bring this thread back from the dead.
It is my duty, as the author, to finish any TL that I have started.
That being said.

Sariwon, occupied DPRK

"Just a year ago, the Twin Towers collapsed and we began the invasion of Afghanistan. Now, we're bogged down in some god forsaken North Korean city after the Norks attempted to blitz into the South by surprise." Private Sam Hopson mumbled as he laid back on to the wall. He spat into an empty North Korean trench and sighed.
The city of Sariwon was once a major trade hub located between the DMZ and Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. After a nuclear blast outside of the city, massive artillery barrages, and a bio weapon being released into the city itself, the city was in ruins, with thousands of people either mulling around the rubble or being treated for their various wounds and diseases.
Sergeant Yamen Bolden, who was also leaning on the wall with Sam, took a swig of water and adjusted his helmet. "The Nork government is worse. Have you seen the things they did to South Korea and their own population? Jesus Christ, they killed innocents by the thousands. That terrorist bombing in Seoul and the bio weapons? Those are probably multiple times worse than 9/11."
The private nodded solemnly. South Korea was still in some sort of shock after all the various attacks and bombings that had happened over the course of the war. The estimated total number of casualties shot up everyday, with the current amount of deaths numbering at a staggering 60,000. No matter what anyone said, these attacks were worse as nearly 20 times more people had died. "And that's not counting the casualties of soldiers as well."
"The only relief we have right now is that the Norks are in a civil war, allowing our advances to be easier and faster. The faster we liberate these people, the better." Sergeant Bolden said. Off in the distance, an explosion occurred, though neither soldiers looked fazed.
The sergeant's radio crackled as he finished the water bottle. "Sergeant, we have another North Korean hold out remaining in the city. They already blew up an apartment complex to slow down our advances. Have your unit head over to help with the fighting and the civilian evacuation. We have dozens of civilian casualties. Over."
"Understood, I'll head over with my unit immediately, over."
Private Hopson grabbed his rifle and stood up. "Just another typical day in North Korea, ey?"
Sergeant Bolden chucked the bottle away. "I hate this job. You think you've seen the worst one day and see something even more messed up the next. But you have to do it anyways because there are people that need you out there."

"It has been confirmed that the "Dear Leader" of North Korea has been assassinated this morning. The Korean Central News Agency has confirmed that it was General Kim Kyok Sik who has killed the Great Leader. It has been stated that Kim Jong Chul, the middle son of the recent leader, has assumed the title of the leader of North Korea, promising to avenge the death of his father. On the flip side, Jang Sung Taek, Kim Jong Il's brother, has claimed that the now dead leader had betrayed the great "People's Republic" and had carried out his own agenda, which has led to "the true Korea's downfall." However, the newly admitted Kim has managed to hold onto the capital for the time being and most of the western provinces of the DPRK. Jang and General Kim have fled Pyongyang and have managed to have the eastern provinces under their control. It is rumored that the DPRK has completely halted all operations against the UN coalition and is fighting against itself in the civil war."
"President Bush announced today that Afghanistan and North Korea will be the "last of major American operations in the War of Terror." He has claimed that with the recent successes in North Korea and Afghanistan, America must now take to role to "remove all forms of terror in both countries" and "help the two rebuild." The UN has already agreed to assist in the rebuilding efforts after the wars have been finished. It is expected that North Korea will collapse first, followed by the Taliban in Afghanistan."
"China and Russia have voiced their approval of America's reconstruction efforts, although both countries are uneasy after the nuclear explosions. However, the United States government has reassured the two countries that the nuclear bombs were air burst, thus the radiation spread will be limited. There are some rumors that China and Russia will also intervene in the Second Korean War, but no reports are yet official."
