}}The Great Asian War is a conflict that erupts between the [[Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere|Co-Prosperity Sphere]] and the [[National Liberation Front]] sometime after the Fall of Nanjing to the [[National Protection Army]] (NPA), though some may argue that the Great Asian War started in the beginning of the Western Insurrection between the [[Republic of China]] and NPA.
While governor of Xinan, [[Lu Han]] was away from his office on vacation, his cousin and former governor of Yunnan, [[Long Yun]] launched a coup against him and gathered the men needed to do so, taking control of the province and leading the NPA. The rapid military buildup to liberate China from what Long Yun saw as Japanese puppets caused significant concern to the [[Republic of China|Republican government]] in Nanjing, who sent the NPA an ultimatum, demanding that the province stand down or there will be war.
Ultimately, this ultimatum would be rejected, kickstarting the Western Insurrection. Due to the extreme manpower inequality between the two belligerents, an AI-controlled NPA would usually capitulate within a few months, with neither side garnering enough support to gain any allies. However, a player controlling either the Republic or
In the end, the consequences of victory from either side can vary in scale, but with this high-intensity extreme drawn out conflict leading to casualties never seen since the likes of the [[World War II|Second World War]], the landscape of the Chinese political situation, the borders of East Asia, the superpower status of the [[Empire of Japan|Japanese Empire]] and ultimately the geopolitical landscape of the world itself in the midst of the [[Cold War]] can all be turned on its head.

The complete destruction of the pre-war [[Republic of China]] in the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]], coupled with the deaths of both [[Chiang Kai-shek]] and [[Mao Zedong]] in the Battle of Chongqing, led to the surrender of most [[China|Chinese]] resistance by 1945, ending [[World War II|World War Two]] in East Asia.
Despite Japanese victory above China, however, many in China continued to feel resentment against Tokyo, refusing to accept the outcome of the war and even relocating westwards, most notably including the [[National Revolutionary Army]] (NRA) [[NRA 24th Army|24th]] and [[NRA 40th Army Group|40th]] Armies, who
One of the many warlords who surrendered to the [[Japan|Japanese]] in hopes of protecting their people was Long Yun, who was forced to give up his position of Governor of [[Yunnan]] to his cousin, Lu Han, though he continued to remain influential within the government in Kunming.
=== 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
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 ===
By the 1960s, the majority of the
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.
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
=== 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 (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
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.
