Red Force Briefing (China)
The situation with Taiwan has become intolerable. This after all is Chinese sovereign
territory yet its leaders have antagonized and insulted us. This perhaps could be borne with
stoicism, for we always said that eventually there would be a peaceful rapprochement
between us. However, now the situation threatens to spiral out of control and our patience
is exhausted. Unlike the restoration of Hong Kong and Macao a peaceful solution now
seems impossible to come by.
The new government of Taiwan, the so called ‘Taiwanese Independence Party’ has stated
quite unequivocally that they well be claiming independence from China. Such an
adventurist action removes any claim to legitimacy that this so called government might
have and we have resolved to undertake an action to remove them from power, finally
ending these splittest tendencies.
Rest assured that you will be embarking on this action with the full support of the Chinese
people behind you as this misguided island is restored to the protection of Beijing.
Do not undertake your duties lightly. Whilst there will be some resistance from the
reactionaries in Taiwan, we feel the challenge you must meet and overcome will come from
further afield. America has made no secret of its support for Taiwan and the opposition from
this quarter will have to be overcome before final victory is assured.
You are well equipped for the task at hand. We have left no stone unturned to obtain for you
some of the most modern weapons in the world. These have not only been produced in our
new advanced factories and shipyards but have been bought from far and wide. Many have
been provided by our friends the Russians. With ships, aircraft and missiles of the most
advanced types our comrades in the navy and airforce have pledged to deliver you safely
on Taiwan. It is then that your work will commence.
Equipment however can only do so much. It is upon your endeavors that the final decision
will rest. You must look to the example of your leaders and cadre as you march to obtain the
ultimate victory all our citizens so desperately crave.
