Chinese Missions:

Mission 1:
The Dragon Awakes
Beijing, China

Background:
The Chinese military is on parade to show the world our strength. Make sure
nothing happens to the parade.

Objectives:
-Destroy the Nuclear Warhead Storage Facility

The pre-mission video shows rows of soldiers marching down the streets of
Beijing. Suddenly, a car races through the crowd and explodes, killing several soldiers.
GLA forces show up and attack the remaining Chinese forces. Just as the Chinese are
gaining the upper hand, the GLA detonate a nuclear bomb, killing everyone in the area.
You are left in command of a few troops left near the base. Destroy the car
bombs that race towards your base. For some reason, you must direct your troops to fire
at the cars manually. You will face another wave of car bombs and a couple of
Technicals and Rebels will show up as well. Flame tanks are ideal for dispatching this
force, but make sure to have a protective screen of infantry in case the car bombs get too
close. Near the bridge several Battlemaster tanks should show up, and their guns should
be enough to take out the Tunnel Network guarding the bridge. Occupy the surrounding
civilian buildings to pick off the infantry.
Once you cross the bridge, it should trigger a video showing a wing of Migs
taking out the GLA force on the hill. Going up the path on the right will cause you to run
into more GLA forces. Therefore, you should be sneaky and attack from the left. There
is a small path to the left of the bridge that leads right up to the bunker. Have your tanks
destroy the bunker to end the mission.

*NOTE*
There is an oil derrick near the bridge you can capture should things go horribly
wrong and you should need some cash. Although frankly that's almost impossible on
this mission, its up to you to decide.

Mission 2:
Hong Kong Crisis
Hong Kong, China

Background:
Our operatives have recently uncovered a GLA terrorist cell in Hong Kong. They
have taken over the nearby convention center and are using it as their main base of
operations. Destroy the terror cell to eliminate the threat.

Objectives:
-Destroy Convention Center
-Destroy attached Parking Garages
-Destroy the Toxin Tractor Production Facility

The pre-mission video shows a massive Chinese force crossing the bridge into
Hong Kong. Ah, you finally get to command a real army. The Chinese march across the
bridge, blissfully unaware that the GLA has planted a bomb on the side of the bridge.
The bomb explodes, sending almost all the Chinese into the river. Fortunately, all the
crappy units were placed at the head of the column and survive the explosion.
Your first task will be to set up a base of your own. The nearby park will provide
plenty of room for you to deploy. Once you have build up your base, send your infantry
to occupy the building near the bridge leading to convention center. Eventually, infantry
will show up by train. Send them to reinforce your bridge force and build 2 Gattling
Cannons to cover the bridge. Also, you will get a warning that GLA Toxin Tractors have
been detected. Send a force of tanks up there to deal with the Toxin Tractors and destroy
or capture the Arms Dealer that builds them. While you're up there, you might as well
capture the oil refinery next to it to reduce the cost of vehicles.
In the meantime, use either flame tanks or the hoards of free infantry you keep
getting from the train station to secure the other two bridges. The GLA will send a
constant stream of infantry from these two bridges. Have you men act as cover while you
build 2 Gattling Cannons at each of the other two bridges. Two Gattling Cannons should
be more than enough to stop the infantry and occasional car bombs the GLA throws at
you, but you still need to cut them off at their source.
Fortunately for you, help soon arrives in the form of a disgruntled ferry worker
who will be more than happy to help you retake the convention center. Although I
initially feared he was a GLA agent who would sink any units I put on his ferry (I mean,
he just kind of shows up out of nowhere), after using his boat a couple of times he seems
on the level. If you choose to use him, he will deposit you right on the docks - and into
the arms of the GLA force guarding the docks.
No, a much better bet is to build a force of 3 Gattling Tanks and 3 Fire Dragons.
Since you'll be taking on quite a few units, its better to proceed under the guns of the
Gattling Cannons guarding the bridges. Have the fire dragons destroy the buildings while
the Gattling Tanks take on the infantry and light vehicles. Target the Parking Garages
and Arms Dealer first, as they produce the highly annoying Car Bombs and Technicals.
Remember that you don't have to kill every unit on the map, just toast the Garages and
Convention center and be done with it.

*NOTE*
Given all the anti-infantry forces of the GLA, your troops will have a hard time
staying alive in the fighting. If you wish to use troops in combat, there is a hospital
to the north on the hill that you can capture to give them a fighting chance.


Mission 3:
A Flood of Violence
Three Gorges Dam.Hubei Province, China

Background:
The GLA is attempting to seize control of the damn in order to undermine our
security in the region. Make sure this does not happen.

Objectives:
-Destroy the dam
-Destroy the GLA base

The pre-mission video shows China in trouble. GLA forces storm the nearby
Chinese base and kill the defenders. With the base lost, Black Lotus decides fall back to
the dam itself.
Although Black Lotus recommends destroying the dam to halt the GLA, I
recommend against it. The GLA will take care of this job for you, and you need to spend
that time protecting yourself and creating your infrastructure. Your first priority should
be building your base. GLA units attack from the south of your base, so protect the
bunker and occupy the nearby civilian tower. The GLA on the other side of the river will
begin attacking the dam. One way or another, somebody will eventually blow a hole in
the dam.
When this happens, a flood of water washes away several villages along with a
few GLA buildings. Now the region is without power and thousands downstream will
undoubtedly be killed from the flood. Great plan, Black Lotus! Another unfortunate side
effect of the flood is that the water is draining out of the lake separating you from the
GLA base.
Your new focus should be the walkway that's slowly being uncovered by the
water. You have about 5 minutes to put together a defense, so use your time wisely. The
best defense I've found is 2 Gattling Cannons combined with 2 Bunkers full of rocket
infantry and Red Guard. This should be enough to shut down any force the GLA sends
against you. Also, build 2 airports and have your Migs use the guard command on the
mainland next to the bridge to strafe any GLA forces that might mass to attack. The
Black Napalm upgrade will make the Migs ground attack stronger, so get it as quickly as
your can. Also, to the west of your base are an Oil Refinery, Construction Dozer, and Oil
Derrick. These are all very useful in the upcoming battles.
Gradually, build up your presence on the other side of the bridge. You will learn
the GLA has killed everyone in town. If you are running low on money, make use of the
Supply Dock on the GLA side near the bridge. Keep moving the Migs up closer and
closer to the GLA base (south of the town). It's a good idea to build a War Factory in the
middle of the town to repair your armor and speed units to the front (remember to build
defenses around it and make use of the mine upgrade). Save up your units and attack as a
group instead of feeding them into the battle. This can be a very frustrating level if you
don't, since the GLA's seemingly endless supply of resources guarantees they will
constantly churn out troops that will chop up your force one by one.
Eventually you will overwhelm the outer defenses of the GLA base. Make sure
and take out the Stinger Site so that your Migs will have free reign over the base. Take
out the structures to end the mission.

*NOTE*
This mission can require quite a lot of resources. After the dam breaks, there are
no more GLA on your side of the river. There is a Supply Dock south of your base. You
can build a Supply Depot nearby without worrying about GLA attacks.

Mission 4:
Broken Alliances
Tanggula Mountains, China

Background:
The GLA have constructed a bio toxin factory in the mountains. If the toxin
reaches the nearby river, then thousands could die. Our best option is to firebomb the
facility. Use your commando group to secure the area while we call in a Mig strike

Objectives:
-Destroy 4 Stinger Sites
-Have Black Lotus capture the War Factory

The pre-mission video shows two Migs on their way to destroy the factory. A
Stinger Site blows one Mig apart, while another is shot down and impacts into a nearby
mountainside.
When the mission begins, you have 10 infantry and Black Lotus. Purchase the
veteran Red Guard upgrade and crank out 5 Red Guard. Also, build 5 hackers and have
them Hack the Internet. This gives you $5/second in cash, and best of all the longer they
do it the more money you get per second! The Red Guard you built combined with the
forces already given to you should be enough to easily overpower the Stinger Site. Now,
reinforcements should drop in. Use Black Lotus to capture the nearby Oil Derrick to
increase your cash flow. Dispatch any infantry or Technicals that get too curious and
proceed to your next target. There is a Rocket Buggy nearby that should be killed before
you tackle the 2 Stinger Sites.
Now you face your biggest threat yet. A Toxin Tractor guards the final Stinger
Site. It can single-handedly spell doom for your entire force. The safest option is to use
Cluster Mines on the bridge, then send in some infantryman. The Toxin Tractor will
more towards the infantry and will (hopefully) be destroyed by the mines. Another,
riskier plan is to use Black Lotus to incapacitate the Tractor. The only problem with this
is that she will then be spotted and fired up by the Stinger Site, and she will probably be
killed before she finished her job. Plan C is a full on infantry assault. Sure, most of them
will die, but it's better than killing off Black Lotus (you need her later on in the mission).
Don't forget about your hackers. After the video is displayed, they will quit
hacking and stand around doing nothing. Get their lazy butts back to work - cash is too
important in this mission to pass up. Have Black Lotus capture the War Factory and
build a couple of tanks. Tanks aren't affected much by toxin and are excellent for killing
the Toxin Tractors. Move them into the center of town and have Black Lotus capture the
Oil Derrick. Your infantry should occupy nearby buildings for protection.
Once the town is secured, its time to strike. Cluster Mine the entrance to the GLA
base and send in some tanks. Have your soldiers occupy the tower. You will be able to
take care of the troops guarding the entrance, and the mines should hamper GLA
reinforcements. Have Black Lotus cash hack the GLA Supply Stash to cut down on their
unit production. Clear out the GLA troops who have occupied civilian buildings near the
Stinger Site, then go after the Tunnel Network. Once these two obstacles are out of your
way, hit the Stinger Site itself. Destroying the final Site triggers a video showing a wing
of Migs attacking the toxin factory. The factory goes up in a burst of flame (although
toxins are clearly shown leaking out near the river), ending the mission.

Mission 5:
Scorched Earth
Balykahy, Kyrgystan

Background:
GLA scum have taken over the city of Balykahy, Comrade. Our U.S. ally has
agreed to provide air support while we liberate the city.

Objectives:
-Destroy the 3 GLA camps
-Destroy the main GLA base

The pre-mission video shows a U.S. B-52 Bomber on its way to deliver an air
strike. Apparently uninterested in the lives of the people they are supposed to be saving,
the B-52 obliterates an entire city block of civilian buildings and GLA units. So much
for a surgical strike. But hey, we got a few Technicals and some Rebels, so I guess it was
worth it.
