Episode 2

As the Great Chinese Empire was recognized as one of the world's leading power, another Golden Age of China thus began. Now the world was peaceful. The French and English in the north remained at peace with each other. There was also a cease-fire between the Aztec-American war which had lasted for over 1000 years. The Babylonians were wiped out by the Persians, leaving Persia alone on the Northeastern Continent. This, was an ordinary day in China.

The ruler of the Indian Monarchy had secretly sign a treaty with the Japanese Shogunate. They decided to carry out a plan against China. China was strong, but she had expanded her territories way too fast. Therefore, the control over newly acquired land was limitted. The Indians and Japanese set up cities between those new cities of China. It was desperate. The Chinese had realized that, but it was way too late. Now the Chinese cities seemed so isolated from each other. The incompetent Chinese monarchs did not know what to do. Some suggested the monarchs to attack them, but the monarchs were too fearful to start a war against the powerful Indians and Japanese. The French also took advantage of China greatly. They invaded the Central Continent and claimed land from China. They got what they wanted, and the Chinese generals were furious. Perhaps it was time to start a revolution.

Sadly, before the revolution even started, the Mongols were rebelling. Kublai Khan of the Mongols invaded China. The people suffered under the Mongols, but they were unable to fight against them. The new Chinese dynasty, Yuan, had taken over. Kublai Khan was a strong leader. He declared war on the Japanese. The Indians were at first furious, but the Japanese were indeed too threatening that they decided to cooperate with China. An all-out onslaught was carried out. The Mongol horsemen quickly conquered many of the Japanese colonies. Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu was so scared of the terrible Mongol horsemen that he offered a large amount of gold in return for peace. However, Kublai Khan declared that peace would only be made unless the Japanese surrendered all their cities to the Yuan Dynasty. Soon Edo, the capital city of the Japanese Shogunate fell. Shogun Tokugawa got on a ship and left for Kyoto. The ship was later sunk by the Indian army. No survivors were found. In a few decades, Japan was completely imperialized by the Yuan Dynasty. This was not such a great moment for the Chinese though, because they were still under the ruthless Mongols.
The Mongols eventually lost political power due to a narrow-minded and incompetent ruler. Some Chinese rose up and took over. Finally China returned to her rightful ruler.

A conflict between America and Greece worsened. It became a full-scale war. Both of them were so weakened now. The Chinese army in Thebes was sent to attack Chicago. The American army was stuck at Mycenae that it was unable to withdraw. America fell into a state of anarchy after San Francisco fell to China. The Romans in the north quickly declared war on America in an attempt to get as much land as possible. Los Angeles and Seattle were attacked and captured. The American army in Mycenae was demoralized and collapsed. At this very moment, the Persians and Aztecs also joined the war. The Chinese knew that the Persians and Aztecs did not want to help China, but loot American cities before others did. In 1731 A. D., the capital city of America, Washington was imperialized by China.

The Greeks, who tried to make peace with China by joining the war against America, were now so confused by China's action. The Chinese army was approaching the Greek city-states. The Spartan king sent an ambassador to Washington, but the governor refused to meet the ambassador. He returned to Sparta, and the militaristic Spartan king furiously declared war on China. After all the tricks that the Chinese used against other civilizations, the Chinese were now considered a cunning and evil people. This foreshadowed the decline of the Chinese Empire later. However, the Chinese monarchs condemned Sparta's action and declared war on all Greek city-states. Greece was a militarily weak civilization, but it was culturally strong. Therefore a extremely strong army was necessary before any action could be taken.

In the early 1800's, a 5000,000-men army was sent to Greece, as sixty battleships bombarded the coastal cities. In less than a hundred years, Greece was completely under Chinese domination. The Glorious Chinese Empire now possessed more than one half of the world. (The Game Ended here.)

The Chinese Empire declined, however, due to the terrible corruption and lack of money. The people revolted everywhere and the monarchy, which had lasted in China over 3000 years, was completely overthrown. Civilizations that were not assimilated to Chinese culture declared independence from China. I believe that one day, China will flourish great and free again, and the world shall bend its knee to her!
