CH'ONJIN, NORTH KOREA
The shore battery guns eerily scanned the nearby waters for any signs of prey. Manned by skilled gunmen, the batteries could punch a hole through a supercarrier in one shot.
Behind the shore battery guns were various barracks, airfields, and other major military installations. This was Ch'onjin military base, the primary port of operations into Soviet Russia. The military base was rough with activity, with crewman doing this and that, running to here and there, tank columns rumbling somewhere, jet fighters landing or taking off, and in the harbor were 2 destroyers and 2 cruisers, on high alert.
In-between the shore guns were AA guns that, like their shore battery counterparts, swept the skies for any sign of Allied trash. They were also manned by crewmen who looked rather bored.
And in this readied and alert scene, klaxons blared. In the foggy night, a dull droning sound began. The AA guns flashed to life and streaks of light criss-crossed the air. The shore batteries took aim and fired.
Thousands of aircraft lined the air, dropping paratroopers and bombs alike into Ch'onjin military base. Seconds later, several explosions rocked the base.
Gunfire from the unseen enemy naval fleet.
What was once a calm yet alert atmosphere was now a flurry of chaos and explosions as people ran to their various posts.

ABOARD THE SOVIET FLAGSHIP BLACKBEAR
Tanthul felt the ship shudder again as the Blackbear's might 400mm cannons fired dozens of more shells into the fog at the ECON base in Ch'onjin, North Korea. It was a joint Chinese-North Korean base, and Tanthul had gotten information that it was to be used for a major invasion into Russia.
As soon as ECON invaded the Soviet Union, Tanthul had received orders for his fleet to support a land invasion of North Korea, to eliminate ECON's primary naval power. The same fleet that humiliatingly obliterated the Japanese-American task group was rumored to be prowling somewhere nearby, so Tanthul had his supporting ships on high alert.
His flagship, meanwhile, a Red Star-class missile destroyer, sporting over 4 400mm cannons, were currently unloading everything into destroying as much of Ch'onjin base as possible while the Soviet and Japanese forces landed into the mainland. Air support from the United States was inbound, but he did not expect to use them beyond strategic bombing runs.
One of his aides came into the bridge, saluted, and handed him a collection of papers which made Tanthul suppress a sigh. Paperwork was his worst enemy--nothing more demoralized him.
He squinted as the lights flickered as the frontal guns unloaded another barrage. Orders to...
...attack...what? It could not be...
"As soon as we have secured this base, we are heading east," Tanthul declared to his bridge crew.
Amid confused looks, he looked back at the papers. "I...do not know why this must be done. But unless any of you want to vanish, we will follow orders."
US? most powerful? Hong Kong has the world's freest economy, the EU has a bigger economy than the US, and China and Russia and India, combined, has a huge military force. I think it's time for the UN to be the world policeman, not a single country >_>
