China Interlude Crisis
Three years and a month after the Tiananmen Square incident, things are shaping up for a repeat, as the Chinese Government, tired of the resistance and Stubbornness of the Student protesters mobilized the full might of the PLA to force Compliance. And yet, as fate would have it, this event gets interrupted as the timer on the mysterious devices that appeared all around the world hit zero. While Digimon appear around the world in massive numbers in a major Barrier Breach, the Aum Shinrikyo doom cult makes their move, unleashing a global terror attack while Chinese assets were caught hopelessly out of position as Tiananmen Square dissolves into a mele a trois, between the protesters, Cultists, and the PLA. The CCP finds themselves paralyzed by the crisis as officials break out into fights over where forces should be deployed due to the widespread nature of the attacks.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned on the streets as the cults clash with local civilians, while the local police find themselves hopelessly outmatched without support between their lack of heavy weapons or digimon of their own. While the Cult had achieved total suprise and started with overwhelming power, the Cult expended themselves in the Blitz as authorities and Tamers manage to cull their numbers and push them back. But in China, that blessing turned into a curse as Tamers across the Nation manage to use their practice in Digimon Card Game tournaments to defeat the Cult before China could recover and act. As a result, the Student Protest that was moments away from getting crushed by raw force, now turned into a whole new beast as the forces who stopped the attack while the CCP was paralyzed now sets their eyes on the CCP that failed their nation.
A/N:I didn't expect the first crisis to get this bad. Double 'disaster crit' from Bioemerge and the Japan doom cult led to things getting very ugly.....
And then in the next roll set China rolled a 17 as they fumbled HARD with a 7. Meaning for everyone but China the Crisis is over. China got smacked HARD because, instead of having time to realize their mistake and mobilize, they were mobbed by Digimon and cultists, and before China could actually properly respond. So....
So, how bad does the USA have it? Cause they can't have come out of it smelling like roses, Right?
Two words. National Guard.
Two words. National Guard.
Oh *BLIP*
why did I forget they had militia ready to deploy everywhere?
...There is no mention of the condition our forces are in, but...
It doesn't sound like things are going well, like....
....At all
*Everyone else: Crisis Rolled a seven, lets out a massive sigh of relief.*
*China: Crisis rolled a Seven. EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE*
WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS!!!!
China has a tendency to ignore problems until they can't ignore it, then they act to solve it and do, but then either overshoot or leave in place too long after. Here, they never left the first stage on the whole Digimon Issue. Between that and the rolls...
You might want to consider turning traitor at this point. Cause there might be no more CCP unless they get their act together and the other faction fumbles on their public support.
EVERY TURN WE ASSISTED THE DARN MINISTRY OF STATE SECURITY! AND NOW THIS!
And in doing so, angling for political points, left yourself completely unprepared for when things started escalating. I know that you havn't had much in resources. But really, there was options to get more without resolving the student protests.
as the timer on the mysterious devices that appeared all around the world hit zero.
...The whole time we were on a TIMER?
Oh *BLEEP*. Was it even possible to get the political efforts to reach out to Japan over the topic?
Because I am starting to feel we made a horrible mistake overlooking the ability to do research ourselves.
It WOULDNT BE A PROBLEM if the Ministry of State Security wasn't hopeless! The political points of helping solve it was stated to be enough to reach out to THE FORMOST EXPERT! IT'S WHY WE IGNORED EVERYTHING ELSE!
Well, it WOULD have worked if the Ministry of Security wasn't cursed. But it was still the risky option, because of the fact that you would have been seeking knowledge from someone from japan with zero tolerance of stupid political games.
....And he was kept out of the loop until a bunch of spooks slapped together task force shield to try and pick his brain....
We screwed up didn't we...
We were supposed to look into things ourselves in order to have information we can then use to pressure people to actually give us support. 😅
Doing that would put us in conflict with the Ministry of Security.....
Oh.
We were trying to speedrun a gamble to not tick them off and get resources without realizing it....
And that path would have required more than that one result wasn't it.
Well, at least we can blame this disaster on the Ministry of Security, given it was more the Cults that blipped everything up.
CULTISTS SECURITY SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT!
Until they start pestering us for digimon of their own to counter the enemies' digimon....
This is only the FIRST CRISIS, and it's bad enough we might be looking at a bad end!
Technically the second, given the Cult decided to become the first crisis, ad then fumble so badly immediately after.
Though I may need to look through my plans again given the direction things seem to be going, especially as the CCP might not be around anymore soon with how much the dice seem to hate them, and by extension you, even if less so.
A/N:I am guessing overall, China had an underfunded digimon affairs department that was overshadowed by the current Student protest crisis. Which...
Left them completely unprepared when the crisis first kicked off, resulting in a wave of violence while the PLA was caught out of position, as instead of a massacre, total chaos was left as the Cultists go on the attack while the PLA are still there and the Student Protestors get Digimon of their own, backed by Digimon card game decks. With the sheer number of attacks causing paralysis as different officials fight over which is more important for the few sufficiently armed RRT available. Only for the over-extended cultists to get picked off by Digimon tamers and other groups while China is still reeling, leaving CCP opinions near rock bottom as they failed to respond before the crisis was already over.
While Britain I guess faced duel threats of the cultists and the IRA, only for said cultists to anger the IRA and having their front-heavy forces being torn apart between the two enemies. While the USA just threw their National Guard around, whom were prepared just in case, and the distraction forces could only manage minor strikes, between the local militia and national guard being nationwide, with Silicon valley possibly being one of the few targets due to tech focus.
While France sits pretty for now, thanks to the lack of Digimon for the cultists to use.
