The Emir and his advisors stood, staring at the map of Kashgar. It was a key trading city in China, and an Islamic stronghold in the East. They had agreed it can not be allowed to be cut off from the rest of the world. The Chinese uprising has made them too unstable an ally, leaving only the military option in securing the city.
In the middle of the night it begins. 10,000 Lashkars, most armed with light or heavy machine guns move into China along with the 30 Batteries, to secure the main passes into and out of China. The whole Airforce is fueled up at their temporary headquarters near the Chinese boarder and prepared to strike if it becomes necessary to protect Afghan troops. At dawn, the major movement begins. 27 infantry battalions begin to march towards Kashgar. Moving at the vanguard of the force, the Afghan armored calvary divisions. Providing protection and reconasaince is another 15,000 Lashkars and 11 Calvary Battalions.
Total Forces: 27 Infantry Battalions (16,200 Infantry) 11 Calvary Battalions (6,600 Calvary) 30 Batteries (120 Guns 40 Howitzers, 40 75 guns, 40 Mountain Guns) 25,000 Tribal Lashkars (Mostly armed with Maxim and Chaucat) 13 Armored Vehichles (10 Fiats, 3 Fjords) 60 Planes (20 Nieuport II, 40 Ki-01 Bombers)
To the Government of China, and the People of Xinjiang Province
Today we have begun moving military assets into China to provide for the continued security and stability of the city of Kashgar and the province of Xinjiang. This is not an attack upon the China or her soveriegnty. We come in peace and are only looking out for the intrests of Kashgar, the people of China and all of Asia and the Middle East. Your cooperation is appreciated, and I assure you it will not be forgotten.
Humbly,
Emir of Afghanistan

Weapons are hidden away there and goverment officials in the city burn all documentation. Snipers will hide in the hills and shoot at Afhgan infantry and cavarly. There are a total of 10 75mm artillery pieces in the city and 5 81mm mortars the artillery will open fire at the afhgan soldiers. Lots of grenades are hidden away for future acts of terror. The garrison of Xingjang province (5.000 men) has sprea out and formed bases in the mountains to launch guirrilla strikes from. 5.000 voulenteers have joined the ressistance which the goverment will give rice to. from the farmer's taxes. There are only about 4.000 rifles aviable but there are at least 2.000 muskets and 1.000 revolvers plus 500 HE grenades and lots of gunpowder will be smuggled in from other places in China. But the ressistance has enough to make 2.000 glay grenades that are filled with pieces of iron to serve as shrapnel.

It's a cliched but true, it was too quiet. Some of the soldiers had been taken by sniper fire but the resistance so far had been minimum. Bombers begin retalitary strikes, focusing on the troops moving out from the city garrison and the few ancient artillery pieces posessed by the Chineese. The fighters begin reconasaince flights over the mountains, pin pointing defensive positions in the mountains. Led by this information artillery barrages begin on the Chineese positions as they try to fortify them. The full 25,000 Lashkars sent to China are dispatched to these mountain retreats, moving quickly across the terrain on horse back into position, then dismounting and closing in on foot. Attacking from behind the natural cover of the mountains, they utilize their machine guns heavily. Creating a wall of black, hot death backed up by specific targetted bursts as well as grenades. Calvary sweeps out of the passes, targetting troops on the move, backed by heavy support fire from the armored vehichles. Regular infantry takes defensive positions outside of the city while a second wave of bombing targets the remaining fortified points within.
Losses: 25 Infantry, 10 Calvary

OCC: With China totally disregarding my actions and the government being desolved I'm going to take some liberties. If you don't like it, please take it up with Germany.
The well orchestrated strike targetting the Chinese regular army troops is successful. Most of the army has been killed or captured, or forced to desert. The Afghan armies reorganize and move into Kashgar meeting no resistance. The infantry moves in to the city supported by the Afghan armored brigade and 5,000 Lashkar troops. 5,000 Lashkars along with the calvary flank the city, and sieze key buildings. 15,000 Lashkars are moved up to take control of Chinese oil fields, telegraph lines as well as the other major cities. Another 10,000 Calvary, and 10,000 Infantry are ordered to move from Afghanistan to secure the other major cities in the region.

OOC: Greece's post should go onto the Chinese uprising thread, as all of these are in the Eastern front where they recently fought with the navy.

Thank you.
The artillery will be moved into place along with the Afghan artillery positions in the mountains to provide support for the main infantry assault of the city. The armored cars are going to be added to the current armored brigade which is being used to spearhead and guard the infantry movement as well. The 20,000 Troops will moved to support the Lashkar force that is securing the rest of the province.

With the help of Russian troops, Afghanistan has pacificed Xinjiang province with few casualties on either side. Kashgar and the Karaorum Highway is fully under Afghan control. Fortification and defense are being set up. Yining and Karamy are siezed in a hard fast attack by tribal Lashkars from the east and Russian infantry from the west. They are put under Afghan protection, along with the oil fields which were siezed before much damage could be done. Delgates are sent to Urumqi to negotiate a treaty for the surrender of the city that will set it up as a treaty city controled by Afghanistan.
A Loya Jirga is hastily called. With the support of religouse scholars, and the promise of riches to tribal chiefs, Kashgar is admitted as a full tribe of Afghanistan. The rest of the province is set up as a sphere of influence. Utilizing Japanese machine parts rapid industrialization has begun of the region. Orders are given to begin raising troops in the region to provide for it's common defense.

Geologists with experience in Afghanistan are sent in to find oil, iron and other mineral deposits in China. Skilled Afghan technitions are being brought in to upgrade Chinese production in the region. The immediate extra profits from the oil aquisitions are being given to individual warlords, dividends on their share in Alamut Industrial. They are in turn using this money to buy up mineral rights cheaply off of speculators and any other sellers in parts of China bordering Xinjiang province to the south (mostly in Japanese controled territory). This is done through a series of individuals and small holding companies, in cash and numbered Swiss accounts to keep the individual tribes hands clean.

OOC: The speculators your talking about don't have any mineral rights, But Mitsubishi does ;D

OOC: So all of your mineral rights are owned by the national corporation. My mistake. IC: The Emir paced the floors, the cigar hanging lazily from the corner of his mouth, forgotten. The Japanese. They were allies in China, true, but their most recent moves are worrisome. How could their expansion of Chinese mining effect the projected price figures of minerals. He drafts a note, and hand delivers it to the regional commander, who reads it in silence, before committing it into eternity via the fire place. It is best to keep some plans secretEmir's Decree - Put heavy caps on the amount of coal, steel and copper being exported to South East Asia.
- Start buying back coal, steel, etc that is already on the Asian market.
- Put the raw material that was being sold in SE Asia into the production of manufactured goods.
- Send tribal advisors, along with their retinue to Xijiang and other provinces where Afghan exclusively controls the drug trade. Start muscling in on the black martketeers there to sieze control of the drug trade along the silk road.
- Send tribal advisors to help strenghthen the power of existing black marketteers in Russian, British and German controled areas of China.
- Once those are secured, use our own bases to start expanding illegal operations into uncontrolled parts of China like Peking.
- Begin printing literature and disemenating labor unionest propaganda into the autonomous and Japanese regions of China. Move that 'damned spaniard' into Xijiang to help organize a Chinese labor unionest movement.
- Liquidate our current rubber stockpiles in Indochina. Use that, as well as the spoils of war to begin purchasing any remaining unowned mineral rights, communications and transportation in areas of China bordering the south and east of Xinjiang.
- Reduce the quality of the popies being exported to Japan. Burn poritons of our poppies grown for medicinal export to 'prevent the spread of a poppie blight' to cover for this.

OOC: sorry for not posting, it's maybe a litle to much to let the entire force be killed or captured, how about 50% ?
Ic:
Half of the partisan force have returned to their normal lifes taking only small arms and explosives with themselves. These have been plotting an attack. Agents go out to get information on what the afgahns do with the oil that they are aquiring in China.

OOC: Should be almost all of them. My Lashkars alone outnumber your troops 5 to 1. All of my troops were better armed and better trained. In addition I leveled my attacks specifically against your army.
IC: The working conditions appear to be as good as what they had been. Maybe a little better in some places. Most of the workers appear to be from muslim ethnic groups, but they make up the largest portion of the population so that is not surprising. Most of the oil is being taken to newly constructed refineries, and turned into products for international sale. In fact, a telegram arives at Peking offering to negotiate a treaty for the sale of some of the oil taken from Xinjiang to the Chinese.
In the cites Afghanistan is working hard to earn the respect of the people. Money is given to mosques, friendly Imams are put into place. Buddhist temples are surprisingly left untouched under an agreement of peaceful cooperation. In addition the newly formed labor movement gives its support to Afghanistans policies in China.

The Chinese goverment (now in a castle in Shanxi) is intrested in buying oil from the afghans.
OOC:
Yeah but they didn't all resist to the death but returned to their old lives taking grenades and stuff along with them.
IC:
A total of 50 partisans make an attack on a refinery using grenades and pistols. And they also have a single mortar but only 10 mortar rounds, which they fire onto the refinery just before it's attacked. the Partisns leaders send out agents to locate the routes of oil convoys which they could attack.
