The Tsar, enraged at the Chinese uprising and wishing to protect MP interests in the Far East, has declared that a state of war now exists between Russia and China.
[Secret IC]
Imperial Directive 324: General Orders to General Vasily Zveginstov of the Amur Military Regarding the Commencement of the Invasion of China:
Due to the rise of unacceptably militant Chinese national spirit and the assault on British and Japanese areas of influence, Russia has been asked to aid in pacifying the region and crushing the rebels. While the majority of the Russian Military is in Europe keeping Germany busy in Poland, this opportunity to promote Russian national interests and expand our sphere of influence cannot be missed.
Russian troops are to secure Peking and force the secession of Manchuria to Russia. The Chinese armed forces or militia groups should not be able to stop a Russian advance. It is expected that within a month China should be fully pacified.
Troops from the Omsk, Irkutsk, and Amur military districts are to be used in this operation. Unfortunately, most heavy equipment is being put to use in Poland, though the equipment assigned to this operation should prove more than sufficient against the Chinese. Troops slated for action in China will be present in the Amur district in 2 weeks following mobilization by rail. Military action is to be commenced as soon as possible.
The following men and material have been assigned to the operation in the Far East:
∙540,000 troops
∙4,000 artillery guns ranging from 76mm to 152mm in caliber
∙250 fighters of the model Sikorsky S-16
∙50 bombers of the model Ilya Muromets
∙5 armored trains
∙100 tanks Vezdekhod-2
∙150 various armored cars
Naval operations in the area are to be left to Japan and other Russian allies, though 5,000 naval infantry will be sent should amphibious operations be needed.
It should be noted that this is not Europe and the civilian population cannot be allowed to prevent or delay success. Chemical weapons and heavy weapons may be used indiscrimately in any environment against these savages if it helps to ensure victory. Concerns for the Chinese civilian population must always be secondary to the military plans.

Russian troops have recieved the order to cross the border into China. The attack force has been divided up into 4 portions of more or less equal strength, each with its own objectives for the occupation of Manchuria. Reconaissance planes have been sent to take note of any major Chinese armed formations in the area, which will be dealt with as necessary. Chemical weapons have been readied for use against the savages.
Each off the four forces, to be designated as Chinese Expeditionary Corps, will contain the following-
∙135,000 troops
∙1,000 pieces of artillery
∙25 Vezdekhod-2 tanks
∙37 armored cars of various types
Armored trains shall be used as necessary should heavy fighting erupt. Aircraft shall be used to bomb any potential targets located by reconaissance planes, and to aid Russian troops if the Chinese make a stand.
Strike into Manchuria:
The four Russian forces should be able to quickly surround and liquidate any Chinese resistance in the area. The objectives for the 4 fronts are as follows-
The 1st Chinese Expeditionary Corps will set out from Vladivostok and aim for Harbin, cutting off Manchuria from the rest of China. Once this is completed it shall strike the Chinese forces in the rear.
The 2nd Chinese Expeditionary Corps will set out from Birobidzhan and sieze northwest Manchuria.
The 3rd Chinese Expeditionary Corps will set out from Blagoveshchensk and sieze niortheast Manchuria.
The 4th Chinese Expeditionary Corps will set out from Chita and aim for Quiqihar, then join up with the 1st corps, thus cutting off Manchuria from the reast of China and surrounding Chinese troops in the area.

Please send troops to Peking to help regain control of the city. If anarchy is allowed to reign then all of our interests in the region are lost.

Peking shall be siezed once Manchuria has been siezed to pave the way. The Manchurian operation is expected to take three weeks at most, following which Peking can be taken easily.

Meeting no organized resistance, Russian troops easily occupy Manchuria and temporarily establish martial law. Manchuria is to become a Russian province, mainly for its excellent location in terms of possibilities for railways.
The first Chinese corps will advance from Harbin to Jilin, from there to Fushun, Shenyang, and finally Daylan, securing everything along the Korean border as well as Port Arthur. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Chinese corps shall strike directly at Peking.

Battle of Peking Begins!
Using a large number of spare Afghan and Greek air troops around the clock bombing begins of Peking.The first target are hardened defensive positions to the south and east of the city. The Greek navy moves into range of Peking. They begin shelling with explosive shells and mustard gas. Explosive shells are used to blow holes in key buildings so that they can be effected by the gas.
Khamir Royal Guardsman and Afghan Lashkars move up and secure terrain to establish an allied line. Under cover from the elite forces the bulk of the allied forces move up and take positions. Artillery is set up and begin to fire a mix of scatter shot and mustard gas at the Chinese defesnes, blown open by the bombing.

OOC: Sorry afdhan the city is to far inland...
IC:
20 Japanese river gunboats open fire on the city, and there
is a total a of 10.000 troops that have dug in outside the
city. These are operating 100 105mm artillery pieces, but
becouse of lack of artillery shells there is aonly a steady
barage of 1 shell per min, but these are well aimed =)

OOC: No, it's on a river big enough to house a deep water port. Large naval ships can move in there.

TELEGRAPH
To: Japanese High Command
From: Joint Force Commander, China Campaign
Withdraw your troops from the battle at Peking. We have the situation under control and your assitance is not neccessary. Your presence endangers our joint attack strategy, as well as your own troops.
