From Military History: Past to Present, by Vance Holbrook:

The Invasion of Manchuria, 2042

Russian Plans. As Putin before him, Premier Konev dreamed of Russian glory: specifically, the reconstruction of the old Tsarist Empire. Glaciation had devastated Russian and Ukrainian farmlands. Konev and his pro-Slavic Party believed the recreation of the empire would pour vast mineral wealth into Russian coffers to help them purchase food abroad. Added to American military aid and grain promises, this set the stage for gaining the first requirement: the destruction of Greater China’s preponderant military and the reunification of Siberia. Konev also yearned to add Manchuria to the empire, to ensure a powerful eastern bulwark.

Konev’s patient strategy these past few years of letting the other world powers weaken themselves first had found great favor among the Russians, as all knew World War I and II had brought disabling casualties to the nation. It also gave him strength when everyone else dipped deep into their strategic barrel to find enough men and munitions to continue fighting.

Before the beginning of the next phase of hostilities, Konev received a last draft of reinforcements from the European Union, who wished to rid themselves of all former GD military. The EU leaders viewed the former GD officers as a menace to European peace. Combined with the American Expeditionary Force, this formed an impressive invasion army of nearly three million men. The ground forces were grouped into 162 divisions: 185,000 from the United States, 210,000 from the European Union and the rest from Russia.

Time was of the essence, as it was evident that Hong drafted large numbers of Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans into the PAA military machine. Because of this, the launch date was set for June 7.

The plan entailed classic armor drives combined with as much air and helicopter transport as possible. As they had done in Siberia, the former GD robotic forces would grind head on, while mobile units swung around with right and left hooks and the air transports dropped down vertically. The velocity of the campaign and the rough terrain would provide challenging problems, demanding high morale, and superior firepower and training. The allied plan hinged on greater battlefield mobility. Three great blocs supplied one of the greatest concentrations of machines ever seen in the world.

American Plans. The United States kept the bulk of its military stationed around the northern Mexican border, where over five million PAA soldiers waited. And the country continued to expand its submarine fleet, dedicating nineteen percent of its industry to its construction. The Pan-Asian Alliance still had impressive numbers and equipment in Mexico and continued to threaten invasion. The Australian fiasco had dampened people’s enthusiasm for overseas adventures. They wished for a quick end to the war, although they also longed for revenge against China. These twin desires stood at odds with each other, balanced at the moment, but ready to swing hard toward peace at almost any price. President David Sims’ speech galvanized the nation as hearts burned for vengeance, and opinion polls showed that the majority of the people waited to see the outcome of the Manchurian Invasion.
