Gregory shifted in his sleep, pushing himself upright in bed. Beside him, Rachel stirred.
“Is it Andrew and Kara?” she mumbled. “I’ll get it.”
“No, Rachel, it’s the phone,” Gregory told her. “Go back to sleep. I’ll handle it.”
Rachel mumbled something Gregory couldn’t translate, then settled. The King of Hawai’i sighed, then reached over to the phone and picked it up.
“Aloha?” he asked.
“Your majesty? It’s General Tompkins. We have a situation developing in Asia.”
“A situation, General? Over all of Asia?” Gregory regretted saying it instantly – Rachel stiffened behind him – she hadn’t been asleep after all.
“Yes sir. It appears that about ten hours ago, elements of the Chinese Army crossed the border into the Demon Realm, riding on massive partisan uprising’s heels. They’ve achieved complete aerospace dominance over the region, and their army is bashing aside all obstacles. The Realm’s forces are putting up what resistance they can, but there’s very little they can do.”
“My god,” Gregory murmured. “My god. What elements do we have in the area?”
“Very few, sir. Second Fleet is in Tokyo, and we have air units and elements of the 4th Division in Japan, but most of our units are concentrated around the Home Islands and in the Falklands. I’ve issued orders for First Fleet to head for the Philippines and Third Fleet to follow when it arrives from the Falklands.”
“Good. That should be good enough.” Gregory struggled to kick-start his brain. “What about Korea?”
“We’ve negotiated some access treaties, and I have the 501st’s assurance of support against China,” Tompkins said.
“Good,” Gregory said. “Is that all?”
“Ah, no. The Indians have launched a counterattack in Tibet. It hasn’t gone well, from the sketchy reports we’ve received.”
“How bad is it?” Gregory asked. Rachel was sitting up now, not even bothering to cover her body with the blanket. Her face was curious.
“It would appear, your highness, that the Chinese . . . crashed the CNC SDI program, then fired a low-level nuclear weapon at India.”
“A nucl . . . a nuclear weapon. From China. At India.” Gregory knew he was stammering. Rachel let out a tiny squeak, covering her mouth with her hand. “AFTER they crashed the SDI?”
“Affirmative, sir. The civilian death toll has been catastrophic, and the Indian Army is suffering in the land front.”
“My god,” Gregory repeated. Then he shook himself. “Assemble the staff. Fort Shafter, one hour. If I’m not there, brief them all fully, General. Get the commanders of the Fleets in on video communications.”
“Yes sir. And what protocols shall I engage?” Tompkins prodded.
Gregory paused. “Hawai’ian Sun, PHOENIX and Scarlet Fever. We’ll talk about the others once I’ve arrived. Make all due preparations.”
“Very well, your highness.” Tompkins said, before hanging up. Gregory put the phone down, still scattered.
“A nuclear bomb?” Rachel asked, her voice wavering. “That can’t be true.”
“It is,” Gregory confirmed. He held his head in his hands for a moment. Then he clenched his fists and rose to his feet. “China has invaded the Demon Realm and India, crashed the CNC SDI, and nuked India. Korea’s letting League elements into the Yellow Sea, and I’m going to do everything possible to force China to abandon its conquest of the Demon Realm. We’ve also initiated PHOENIX, Hawai’ian Sun and Scarlet Fever.”
“What we have to do,” Rachel murmured. She rolled out of bed, still naked, and embraced Gregory. “What we have to do. I’m scared of this new world.”
“So am I,” Gregory whispered. “But I’m not scared of Mr. George and China. And soon enough they will know the folly of attempting a war with a Hawai’ian.”
“I love you,” Rachel whispered, hugging him a little tighter. “Bring this to an end, somehow!”
“I will, my love,” Gregory promised. “I will. One way or another, I will.”

Oh, my only concern is that christos had provisions against the event that I supported the Demon Realm. It looks like he had. Kudos on that, Mr. Christos, but this is most probably the end of China.

The Papal States always and everywhere supports warfare against the demons. However the Papal states is gravely concerned at the use of nuclear weapons, and furthermore expresses its horror at the deaths of innocent civilians, both indian and of those poor souls enslaved to the infernal occupiers of the region now known as the "Demon Realm".
Although demons should be exorcised and their removal is a right and just cause for the war in any situation, the means of the exorcism engaged in by China is contrary to christian reason and commits unspeakable violence against the human race. Furthermore it violates the dictates of the necessary conduct during a just war, and therefore this war cannot be approved.
Therefore the papal states also would like to mention that it is willing to stand as neutral arbiter to aid in the negotiation of a peace, for the good of humanity and in the hope that through our intercession and through the voice of right reason many innocents can be spared suffering and death.
In other matter the papal states is changing its currency over to the Lira. East Asian Currencies have been determined to be fundamentally unstable and thus a local European currency is now favoured.

In the early morning dawn, Hanna Antilles received a phone call from her defense secretary. She did not received the news too well "What?! China nuked India?!" Hanna burst out of her bed and struggles to put on her robe as she marches out of her bedroom and into the hallways of the Chanceller's Residency. Hanna soon asks the status of the fleet "What the situation, can one of our fleets She ran across the Grand Admrial of the Republic "Admiral, what's the situation with the fleet? What ones can we aford to send to Hawai'i for support?" The the Admiral has stated "We've assembled a combination Battleship Carrier Battle Group. The BBG Rorikstead, BBG Ivarstead, and the CVN Eastmarch are all standing ready to head to Hawaii along with their escorts the CCG* Testarossa, CGN Nova Terra, CGN Antilles, CGN Alderan, and FFG Winterhold. They should be sailing to Hawai'i to meet up with their fleet." Hanna, putting on a serious face dispite having bed hair and haven't taken a shower yet said to the Grand Admiral "Inform the Hawai'ians that we have a Battleship Carrier Battle Group assembled to back them up." Grand Admiral Hank confidently informs the Chancellor "I have given Vice Admiral Hackett specific instructions to meet with his Hawai'ian counterparts in Pearl Harbor."
Hanna then looks at Grand Admiral Hank and remarks about China "It does not surprise me that the Republic of China is such a bi-polar nation. At first they seem like your best pal, then they slip a nuke under your pillow". Hanna then proceeds to head back to her bedroom to change into her regular clothes "If you shall excuse me, I need to speak with the King of Hawai'i to assure him that the 501st is not the only one that's stands behind them, even if were on the other side of the continent"

Filled with rage at the desecration of India, with many sources of water now ripe with poison, India launches a joint attack with its allies.
Coalition air forces total 62 Kazakh air wings and 161 Indian air wings. They stand against 143 Chinese air wings. Fighting over the city centers, AA guns fire into the battle, granting the Chinese another advantage. It is likely this war will just continue to grow more bloody by the day.
223 vs. 143
China wins. 141 enemy planes shot down. 21 Chinese planes shot down.
122 Chinese air wings remain to counterattack.
India calls its entire army to battle to tip the scales.
63 Indian, 25 Baluchistani, and 5 Kazakh armies attack 52 Chinese armies.
However, the Chinese Air Force swoops in, killing the Indian air forces and losing one plane.
120 Chinese planes bombard - their targets, the Indian Army.
38 hits scored.
India, meanwhile, shoots down 13 planes.
---
Back east, the DR fleet lands 10 hits.
---
The Indian Offensive commences.
25 Indian, 25 Baluchistani, and 4 Kazakh armies attack 52 Chinese armies.
China wins. The entire invading force is wiped out. 26 of China's 52 men are likewise wiped out.
China occupies 13 of India's provinces - 2 of them containing major cities. In total, 2.740 million occupy this area, but due to dislocation, 270,000 of them die. India's GDP plummets as nearly one quarter of its population is captured. .36 Industry is lost, and .04 of that is damaged.
China's not done just yet, however; it wants its land and population back.
With much of the Baluchistani Army gone, an invasion of Baluchistan commances to seize more population and industry.
13 go against 3. Success - the Baluchistani forces are obliterated and new lands occupied. China loses 2 armies. .36 Industry is liberated, as are 45 population. Due to combat, only .27 Industry and 34 population are transferred.
8 more provinces fall in Baluchistan's homeland - the result is China taking two Baluchistan metros. Baluchistan loses 90 pop and .92 Industry. 81 pop and .8 Industry are transferred.
The result is China emerges as the world's most massive economy, at 3400 projected GDP - its closest competitor, Oz, can only muster half of that. Will China emerge as the hyperpower, or will the Third World War leave all combatants in ruin?
689,000 Indian soldiers
440,000 Indian civilians
230,000 Chinese soldiers
330,000 DR soldiers
270,000 Chinese-sympathetic rebels
250,000 Chinese civilians
140,000 Baluchistani soldiers
124,000 Kazakh soldiers
100,000 DR Civilians
90,000 Baluchistani civilians
20,000 Kazakh soldiers
.66 Industry has been destroyed in economic damage
Thus far, that's 2.683 million people killed.

Your VM was amusing when I mentioned I wanted to discuss your obliteration in chat (eh out of scholarly interest I like to keep up with all sides of wars), but this reaction after I pointed you here is absolutely priceless 
long story short JoanK thought he had only lost 5 armies, I mentioned he should look at the thread

Not all of China's armies could reach the frontlines, so were left in Tibet. Seems to have been a wise move, in retrospect - World War III will be very interesting.
...especially since it's gone nuclear.
Meanwhile, I assume the Warsaw Pact is laughing its ass off.

Papal Announcements
The Papal States would like to announce that it is establishing the Pontifical Games to be held between the sportsmen of all peaceful nations in the world in our glorious capital of Florence. May this gathering of athletes serve as an icon of christian peace for all nations, and encourage fraternity between all the wise who have forsaken war.
Through this event may the truth of Christ be proclaimed in this era of darkness, and be and instrument for the illuminating light of God, and for the salvation of souls through conversion to the true faith.
I would also like to note that the economy of the Papal States has grown by 5% and our Holy Water breweries, crucifix factories and priestworks are all developing smoothly in accord with our 1000 year plan.

Since Oz is not a participant in any armed conflict, at least that we know of, it will gladly sent its top athletes to participate in the Pontifical Games.

India reminds Oz that being a member of the CNC it has a duty AGAINST China and more importantly with India itself and the Demon Realm.
