World War III

[Cryofthewolf]

Wow, way to put a damper on my morning... O_O

 

[Cryofthewolf]

I say we Pokemon trainers dispatch to China to control the situation while we can. We'll put Youngster Joey and Lass Dana on the front lines with their Rattata and Nidoran respectively. =-D

Wow, way to put a damper on my morning... O_O

Haha sorry >< I have workers in my house replacing windows so I am essentially locked away in my office with my two cats. Thought it would be something to do to pass the time.

Plus I am pretty sure the Russian Ursaring could take on a Rattata and a Nidoran single handedly.

 

[C_sector]

You do realize that Russia would probably more so attack China than America, right?

And why would the entire Europe get destroyed?

So many plotholes in this.

They[eurpoe] may instead form the Neo-Roman empire?

WoW!!! all this talk would make a great Civilizations/Empire earth game!!!

 

[Ithera]

A fanciful rendition of proposed conflict. Amusing but very far fetched.

 

[Danik93]

All the Australians would be going: "Dubya-tee-eff mate?"

And Sweden will go like: heey Russia we are friends right! you can have some ore and stuff. What do you say? and then China heeey we can be friends right? you know we are just small Sweden and not even threat. and then we would hope that they don't invade us. and become the worlds richest and best country! I mean it worked in WWII.

2 things I'd dissagree with. (No I didn't read the other peoples posts, sorry if people before have said it).
U.K I think would get in straight away, as they do have a history of jumping in wars to help others. (My opinion only, not definatly true.)
And the problem with the whole subject is that a War now. Especially a World War would mean TOTAL disaster for pretty much every country on the planet (Except switzerland where they're immune to Nukes, bullets and pretty much everything) and so, no matter how well planned it is, you can't take over every country allied to the U.S within about a week, and so China would most likely get bombed massivly, possibly with nukes. I'm thinking there might be some small countries who would take advantage and attack their enemies, and so the Apocolypse starts.

Thanks for listening. I've been great.

Edit: Good read though

 

[EeveeElectro]

Forget World War III, World War V is the next one, as stated in Family Guy (an incredibly reliable source) World War V will be so epic it will skip over III and IV

Interesting read, but how come after Taking over most, if not all of the US, China and Russia don't first squash the Canadian army, then start killing each other?

Your avatars right next to each others = me sat watching for hours O_O

That theory felt like a history lesson v_V;; why I took history, I'll never know.

 

[firedfns13]

Good Joke. I was told America owns most of America's debt (Not sure how that works...) in my government class. Second up is China though.
I'd like to point out that if America can't pay China back, both of us, and then the entire world, are dragged into an economic depression.

 

[Palademon]

I personally thought world war III would start with the 2008 olympics due to what I heard about how the chinese civilians are treated and that houses were torn down for the olympic stadium.

In 2013 talks start to break down between China and the US. The UN tries its best to mediate but it is beyond repair. China calls in the debt, America refuses to pay. US still having its hands in the middle east starts to pull troops to protect borders and moves warships outside of China. Talks continue in the UN. While China moves ships outside of Canada and West coast.

Okay, realistically, China would never start a war in the first place, ESPECIALLY with the US. It would be too detrimental to China economically, since a shift in production from consumer goods to military goods would mean a massive loss of resources, as well as the loss of exports that keeps the Chinese economy afloat. Not to mention Mutually-Assured Destruction, which practically forces talks. Also, there is difference between private debt and sovereign debt. China cannot just "call in" the debt owed by the US.

2014: A series of missiles hit and destroy US ships outside of China. War is declared. Within the first 72 hours China has invaded Canada and within a week are on US soil while US has failed to make much impact into Chinese Land. UK does its best to stay out of conflict.

Who exactly declares war on who? And why the fuck would China invade Canada, a country that's pretty much a logistical impracticality as well as holds little to no significant tactical advantage? And, in the process, risk aggravating the Russians? Or are you just copy-pasting the Fallout scenario?

Russia moves into Middle East after US are gone. Iranian and Russian forces soon take control of much of Middle East while NATO moves in to stop the invasion. China bombards west coast while holding a few key locations. US pleads with Japanese help with war effort. North Korea conquers South Korea. Japan refuses to help in fear of invasion.

Lol, what the fuck does Russia want in the Middle East? The only thing the Middle East is to Russia is a weapons market and an oil-source competitor. And if you thought the US military was unprepared to occupy Iraq, Russia is quite frankly a cluster fuck waiting to happen. I could imagine China trying to invade the Middle East from Xinjang, though, to fuel it's rapid industrialization, since they're relatively close.

China uses Cuba for staging air attacks. Florida is carpet bombed and is soon given up. US pulls forces from China to help protect home front. Warships pulled from China wipe out Chinese ships on West Coast. Korea has constant fighting and a Guerrilla force steals and launches a nuclear missile on their own country. Missile is detected by satellites, China, US, and Russia prepare to launch a nuclear strike. No country except Korea is hit and no other missile is launched.

Really? Lol, China could honestly give 2 shits about using a fledging socialist nation with an economy that's practically in free-fall since the US embargo. China has nukes, Ffs.

As for North Korea, I would imagine they would last a week, maybe two, at most a month, against a combined S. Korea/US force alone. Although god knows that the Chinese have been backing up N. Korean since the 1950s and that the loss of N. Korea as a buffer zone with the US military would be an unacceptable defeat to them. The Korean campaign would probably amount to the Allied Italian-invasion campaign of WW II.

2015: China takes New York while being driven out of California. NATO troops are pulled out of Middle East after colossal losses. Russia sends troops from China and make a push for US. UN starts to break apart.

Rofl, how the fuck would even China get into NY? And in the first place, why NY? NY is a financial center, not a production center like Chicago, Detroit, Texas or California, and could easily be replaced by the London SX, and thus has little to no strategic bearing, other than a morale defeat. And even then, NY is practically on the other side of the world. California is plausible.

-snip-

The only thing I'm going to say is that WW III will not be started between sovereign nations; nations have too much lose from war, economically and politically. You want proof? Just look at the Iraq Occupation and the difference between the US at 2000 and the US as 2008.

Imo, WW III will be started by intranational paramilitary groups such as the Taliban, and it's going to begin with a terrorist attack, a la MW2 "No Russian".

 

[JtLaneside]

Since the Communist China lacks the naval resources to attack Taiwan, a naval attack on the US might be a bit beyond them.

 

[Captain Pancake]

What kind of crap is this? China could never beat the US. All china has is old Soviet tec and what ever they have copied from the US. Its the same thing with the Cold War, an army of conscripts will never be able to defeat a well trained army. Quality verus quantity.

Struck a nerve did he? Everybody's entitled to an opinion.

One thought to pose though, Could the fallout really spread to such a degree to endanger the entirety of Europe? one nuke would be valid for one city, and while yes there are enough nukes to destroy every city in a given country, for countries as big as China and Russia it would be more like a patchwork pattern of radiation.

 

[Zenn3k]

Few problems with the story IMO:
1: Russia does not have the military strength to even attempt to fight China. Although I like the idea of them moving in on the middle east after we are forced to leave, that makes a lot of sense.
2: Why would Russia attack the US with China? I'd think Russia would be our ally if such a thing occurred.
3: China would have a very difficult time reaching US/Canadian boarders undetected
4: The US would, in my opinion, Nuke its own land before allowing a foreign nation to take DC.
5: Why did Korea nuke itself? lol
6: Also, the Fallout cloud if China and Russia nuked each other would not move West towards Europe, it would move East across the Pacific.

Otherwise, fun read, felt like reading Pre-war Fallout 3

 

[OpiateChicken]

Didn't read all the responses to this, but I have a few criticisms.

1. Why did Russia suddenly partner up with China? Those two countries have a lot of conflict between them.
2. China would be hard-pressed to bomb the west Canadian coast because of all the Chinese people living there, and because Canada and America's navies are mostly located in the Pacific already.
3. Do you really think the US would let China take Cuba without nuking Beijing?
4. the UK would not form an alliance with Spain and not Germany. If anything it would be the other way around.
5. The US would totally use nukes.
6. It sounds like you got a lot of this from CoD:MW2.
7. You think that in a scenario where the US and Canada have fallen that the UK and Australia wouldn't try to help defend them?
8. Again, why is Russia partnered with China? What do they have to gain from that?
9. I know the Canadian military is good, but I don't think it's good enough to take out thousands of Russian and Chinese troops in the US. It's more likely that Toronto or Ottawa would just get nuked if there was resistance. Canada has a few nuclear weapons (not officially) but not enough for second strike capability.
10. You used the word "decimated" wrong. To decimate something means to take away or destroy 1/10 of it. You might have rather used "annihilate" or something.
11. Are you seriously telling me that the US wouldn't nuke SOMEbody?
12. How does China take NY, by like... circumnavigating the globe? :\
13. The biggest flaw in this whole thing is that China's navy is nowhere near as powerful as Canada or the US'. I really don't think naval warfare will be a big part of WWIII anyway.

US still having its hands in the middle east starts to pull troops to protect borders and moves warships outside of China. Talks continue in the UN.

China needs the USA to consume their goods, otherwise their economy would be in the scheisse.
China doesn't have a navy anywhere near large enough to do something like that. They have good submarines, but they zero aircraft carriers. Zero!! There is no way they could launch any sort of naval expedition.

2014: A series of missiles hit and destroy US ships outside of China. War is declared. Within the first 72 hours China has invaded Canada and within a week are on US soil while US has failed to make much impact into Chinese Land. UK does its best to stay out of conflict.

China has some good antiship missiles I think, but again no navy to invade North America with. Also what about the USA's defensive antiship measures? I also think it is very implausible that NATO wouldn't get involved.

Russia moves into Middle East after US are gone. Iranian and Russian forces soon take control of much of Middle East while NATO moves in to stop the invasion. China bombards west coast while holding a few key locations. US pleads with Japanese help with war effort. North Korea conquers South Korea. Japan refuses to help in fear of invasion.

I don't think Russia would want to invade the middle east, they might take the opportunity to conquer places like Georgia, and brutally crack down on dissent in places like Chechynya, Ingushetia etc. The Japanese Defence Force doesn't have any expeditionary power to speak of, and anyway they are constitutionally bound to operate defensively. And the DPJ is distancing itself from America anyway. There is at least a hundred thousand US soldiers in South Korea, and the ROK's army is much more technologically advanced than the North's.

China uses Cuba for staging air attacks. Florida is carpet bombed and is soon given up. US pulls forces from China to help protect home front. Warships pulled from China wipe out Chinese ships on West Coast. Korea has constant fighting and a Guerrilla force steals and launches a nuclear missile on their own country. Missile is detected by satellites, China, US, and Russia prepare to launch a nuclear strike. No country except Korea is hit and no other missile is launched.

Cuba letting thousands of Chinese troops in is pretty whack. Also guerillas randomly nicking nukes in a warzone is also slightly crazy.

Britain, France, and Spain form a new alliance while Germany and Italy form their own. Russia now moves west taking everything up to Germany. China starts to conquer countries nearest it. The fighting between these two starts to escalate. China moves to take the Middle East and is met with heavy resistance. The two reach a stalemate.

Whaaaaaaa? France and Germany not allying with each other? What the hell? They easily have the best relationship of any of the European nations. And German-Italian nations are frosty right now. This isn't the 1930s.

 

[Spitfire175]

Won't go down like that.

The US would see the invasion coming. Modern Warfare 2 isn't reality, I'm pretty sure the most powerful military in the world would have more than one system of control an surveillance. Lets not forget the countermeasures the US has for a nuclear assault, it's very likely a simple barrage of ICBMs isn't going to have the desired effect. The US military has been spending more money in a year than the rest of the world combined for a few decades. That cannot be ignored. The differences in levels of tech available are astronomical.

Also, by that time the new UK supercarriers should be ready-ish with F-35s on deck. No way UK is going to ditch out. And Europe won't just stand by. Europeans have the highest average of troop/equipment quality and fighters in the world. Plus nukes. And the Russians don't have an army to take the middle east, let alone invade the US or Europe. They shot down three of their own fighter jets and ventilated their own assault tanks with attack helicopters in Georgia for fucks sake. Sure there's a lot of them, but as far as I remember the Iraqi army was considered the 4th strongest and largest in the world. Numbers haven't saved the red army before, and won't do so in the future.

And, China won't have the air support it needs to carry out an invasion, they haven't had any aircraft carriers until very recently. Any invasion force will be decimated without air cover.

Oh, and OP forgot about nuclear submarines. Even the Brits could sneak up on the Russian coastline and make Moscow a capital wasteland.

In all, if such a grand war will begin, the US and the rest of NATO will press the big red buttons and nuke some cold war key targets. It'll be a war to end us all for good. Except for those who got to the vaults.

Damn I sound like a Rumsfieldian wet dream. Anyway, I'd be hunting Russians with the rest of the Nordic battlegroup.

 

[Drakulla]

Your story started out stupid and I was gonna rip you a new one but I kept reading and it actually got pretty sweet at the end. I like how Canada sat back and ended up winning WW3 as Russia and China blew each other up. I really enjoyed the story, keep up the good work.
