Line 193:

=== Formation and operations of the National Protection Army ===

Sometime between TNO's starting date and the end of [[World War II|World War Two]], some members of the [[National Revolutionary Army|NRA]] felt that ~~the NRA~~ was simply not enough for them, as they retreated and continued to resist in the mountains. Instead, members left to form the closely associated [[National Protection Army]], an [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] group with largely the same goals as the NRA, to liberate [[China]] from [[Japan|Japanese]] influence, albeit operating under much more covert circumstances in Yunnan due to their distance away from their NRA counterparts in Xikang and Burma.

Together with other NRA divisions, bandits that happened to be in the area and remnant [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] militias, the NPA continued sabotage operations across southwestern China, causing problems in administration and development in the region, which made the organisation feared through the spreading of urban legends.

=== Yunnan provincial development campaign ===

~~Originally~~, the ~~elements~~ of the National Protection Army, National Revolutionary Army, Chinese Communist Party and bandits were countered by governor Lu Han's plans to develop and modernise ~~Yunnan~~, employing militia and guards to counter their influences and effects on the state.

By the 1960s, the majority of the [[National Protection Army]], [[National Revolutionary Army]], [[Chinese Communist Party]] and other southwestern bandits were countered by [[Yunnan Province|Yunnan]] governor [[Lu Han]]'s plans to develop and modernise the province, employing militia and guards to counter their influences and effects on the state, while also massively developing the province economically to be on par with the rest of the [[Co-Prosperity Sphere|Sphere]]'s goals.

In his development plans, however, [[Lu Han]] had alienated the administration from the common populace due to the brutal slave policies implemented. His popularity plummeted as slavery was institutionalised and the efforts on repressing the political freedoms of the province increased several fold.

However, in his attempt to make Yunnan richer, Lu Han had alienated almost everyone around him. Upon his departure on holiday, the National Protection Army decided to strike.

~~The~~ National Protection Army had already been planning for a Western Insurrection. However, without a leader, the plan remained idle and untouched for decades. With Long Yun accepting the ~~role~~ of the leader of the NPA in 1965, ~~they~~ ~~could~~ ~~begin~~ ~~the~~ ~~planning~~ of ~~how~~ to ~~attack~~ the ~~traitors~~.

Behind the scenes, the [[National Protection Army]] had already been planning for a Western Insurrection against the [[China|Nanjing government]], as part of their plan to fully liberate [[China]] from [[Japan|Japanese]] imperialism. However, without a strong leader to guide the organisation, the plan remained idle and untouched for decades. With [[Long Yun]] accepting the invitation to the role of leader of the [[National Protection Army|NPA]] in 1965, however, the plan was set into motion, preparing for a takeover of the [[Yunnan Province]].

=== National Protection Army coup and buildup of the province ===

Long Yun's NPA began to garner the extensive support from the remnants of the NRA led by Sun-Li Jen and Li Mi, and the CCP who had sought refuge with the Viet Minh since the defeat at Chongqing.

[[Long Yun]]'s [[National Protection Army|NPA]] began to garner the extensive support from the remnants of the [[National Revolutionary Army|NRA]] (then led by Sun-Li Jen and Li Mi) and the [[Chinese Communist Party|CCP]] who had sought refuge with the [[Viet Minh]] since the defeat at Chongqing, all of which gradually increased the control of [[National Protection Army|NPA]] and [[National Protection Army|NPA]]-sympathetic politicians across the provincial government, culminating in a coup against the governor after a vacation from government affairs by [[Long Yun]] himself.

Led by the motivation of reuniting China against the Japanese imperialists, Long Yun will lead them to recover China, in the 2nd Northern Expedition, or die in their attempt.

Announcing the breakaway from the Sphere and vowing to restart the war against the Japanese via a radio broadcast, the citizens of Yunnan prepared themselves, as the NPA began gearing up the war against the collaborationists.
