contact with its neighbors, tensions in the Middle East reach an unprecedented peak. In addition, the GLA successfully

while the Chinese Air Force performs relentless attacks on the retreating enemies, turning the famous Autobahn into a
highway of death akin to the one seen during the Persian Gulf War.
After half a year of fighting, Chinese forces under General 'Anvil' Shin Fai converge on Hamburg. Prior to his departure,
Deathstrike orders Rodall Juhziz' Scorpion Cell to obliterate the city with a 10 megaton strategic nuclear warhead. Both
Juhziz and Fai perish in the explosion, along with thousands of civilians.
The United States have withdrawn all their overseas forces and China has put an end to the GLA insurrection that swept

through chemical and nuclear attacks.

After years of political turmoil and economic decay, Nikolai Suvorov of the Novorossiya Party becomes the new President of the Russian Federation. He openly declares his goals to be the elimination of all infighting and corruption and 'to create a new Eurasian hegemony with Mother Russia at its helm'. Western analysts dismiss the popular leader as an ineffectual, chest-thumping mouthpiece of post-Soviet oligarchy placed in charge of what is essentially a borderline failed state.
During the inspection of a military research facility, President Suvorov is impressed by the revolutionary MTP recovery vehicle that can repair any vehicle on the battlefield using nanobots simmilar to the USA drones.

2029
The EU uses the Chinese funds to buy large amounts of fossil fuels and raw materials from Russia which invests the
newfound wealth to overhaul its own infrastructure, educational system and military, triggering a period of great economic
growth in Russia and establishing Suvorov as a smart statesman with the appeal of a film star.

2030
The first components of the Chinese East Star Space Station are brought into orbit aboard a Long March 3B rocket.

Thailand and Myanmar. At the same time, Mongolia is peacefully absorbed into the People's Republic after many years of

that China managed to delay for the duration of the war after the GLA attacked Beijing, Hong Kong and the Three Gorges
Dam.

Communications Agency Network (ECAN) which is a tight-knit collaboration of various telecom companies, news
agencies and public broadcasting services.
With the country isolated and threatened by economic collapse, the US government has to make far-reaching cuts to the
overflowing military budget. Several future weapon systems are scrapped and the Navy has to mothball or sell many of its
vessels, mainly older vessels dating back to the 1980s.
After a Senate hearing regarding his out-of-control R&D budget, General Townes revolts against the closure of his laser
projects and briefly locks down his base at Redwood Shores, California, before being arrested by his second in command.
The M2A4, an ad-hoc upgrade of the aging Bradley IFV, is forced upon the US Marine Corps. Despite initial complaints,
the Corps soon develops a hate-love relationship to the vehicle as it proves to be very reliable in combat.
Much to the chagrin of the other branches, the US Air Force makes it through the budget cuts and doctrine changes largely
unscathed thanks to the brokering of General Eugene Griffon.
Deathstrike dies unceremoniously at the hands of an unknown assassin, throwing the GLA into a power struggle and
diminishing its global presence. Anwar Sulaymaan embarks on a quest to re-unite the organisation under his rule. Due to
being disunited and busy among itself, the GLA soon disappears from the perception of both the general public and
intelligence agencies.
Prince Kassad once again betrays the GLA and is subsequently shot dead by Sulaymaan himself. Cobra Cell is disbanded
and its surviving members and equipment are absorbed by the rest of the GLA.

In order to provide the ECA with strategic bombing capabilities in times of need, Bomber Command makes a reappearance
as a distinct entity within the British Royal Air Force, along with a refurbished model of the Cold War era Vulcan bomber.

dubbed the Concrete Curtain by the Eastern European countries that are now left out. Willem van der Meer is involved in
the construction.
The Russian action movie Red Squadron becomes a summer blockbuster in Russia and a few other countries after
Hollywood had to tighten its belt in the wake of the downturn and produced works that reflected the zeitgeist of the postGWOT
era in a more modest and introspective way, often exploring the consequences of economic failure and military
adventurism.

2035
The US Air Force demonstrates its new financial and doctrinal supremacy by introducing the AC-17 Spectre III, the most
heavily armed and lethal American gunship ever built, which is armed with a 155mm howitzer, a dual GAU-12 Equalizer
cannon and Maverick air-to-ground missiles.

to strengthen the position of Latin America on the global market. Violent criminals and political extremists threaten the
new alliance.

dozen new reactors are under construction. In an effort to obtain total self-sustainability, the European Space Agency and
CERN commence development of the Solaris energy project.

new President and continues the policies of his predecessor.

Europe's first solar-fusion reactor, powered by the satellite Comas Solŕ, is activated in Granada, Spain. The facility
produces enough energy to supply both Spain and Portugal.
A few months later, another pair of satellites is activated: Cassini provides energy for France, Belgium and the Netherlands
while Kepler is used to power the joint reactor of Germany and Denmark.
With Europe becoming increasingly independent from foreign energy thanks to its own renewable sources, many longstanding
fuel treaties with Russia are cancelled, putting a strain on the Federation's economy and the diplomatic relations
between the two powers. The demand for Russian resources decreases over the coming years, signalling the impending end
of the country's economic boom. Furthermore, military observers point out that Solaris could potentially be used as an
orbital strike weapon capable of threatening Russia's cities and nuclear stockpiles.
Germany and France openely suggested that Ukraine should join ECA.
The former Secretary General Cheung Liu is appointed as the new Party Chairman of the People's Republic of China.

2045
Meantime USA has launched full scale attack on GLA and koreans in pacific,
it turns out that occupation of pacific islands was only a decoy so GLA and Koreans can

cancelled due to being too expensive and not reillable as being too hevy and slow.
US Army is now turning to reuse old units and uprade them.
Roumor has it that US armed forces engineers were able to upgrade old Abrams tank
to all goodies that paladin had but they still made it lighter and more agile.
USA generals agreed that pinpoint precision is too expensive and it didnt work well
in the past so they will now go with power with small numbers, or speed with more numbers.
Airforce will still be mayor factor for both defence and offence.
People in US are not too happy to see secret organisation like S.H.I.E.L.D
that only yesturday were only conspiracy theories and now they are takeing over
large part of US armed forces.
After USA Almost destroyed the GLANK Coallition GLA leaders reillazed that without moddern
approach they wont survive let alone win the war.
So GLA started to work more on thier defences and intrenching than just guerilla rush the
enemy.
There is also a roumor that NSA satellite spoted Dr. Trax in one of GLA bases but its denied that
that person only looks like Trax and its not man himself.

President put offer on the table if Ukraine will not join ECA Russia will not further attack Ukraine and they will
forgive Ukranian dept for gas and lend further 50 bilion $ to Ukraine at low interest rate.
