DEFCON Year Two

Epilogue

After successfully taking Moscow, Norrie Vastano and Carly Wells were now involved in the final blow against China. But Chinese forces were now well-entrenched and prepared to welcome any attack against their positions with fire to make the Americans pay every inch of Chinese soil with blood.

However, the systematic bombardment of Chinese military manufacturing facilities as well as the Taiwanese embargo on microchips and semiconductors led the Chinese to be forced into recycling already existing materials to try to turn these into military hardware. All this while the US industry thrived thanks to new partnerships with Mexico and many other developing countries around the world. This combination of factors also lead to the collapse of Chinese military effectiveness, which was already compelled by nepotism and generalized corruption.

Meanwhile, Allied forces, including the US Military were getting stronger by the day and also getting increasingly better logistics thanks to the unending stream of supplies flowing from the US themselves. And among these supplies were spare parts, ammunition, fuel and other consumables that America's allies desperately needed for their own war effort, which was intertwined with the American one.

And millions of American troops, including Norrie Vastano, Maddie Calvert, Dale Uris, Mel, Deere, Anna Hunter, BBC, Marker, Carly Wells, Watt, Random, Itchy, Amy Pollard, Buster, Lucky, Zombie, KJ, Lighter, Metal, Mac, Danni, Evie Dunning, Flint Murdoch and Courtney Williams, were now ready for the final blow.

And said final blow has been decided for the second half of 2025, since Joe Biden had been reelected as President of the United States under the promise of bringing World War III to a definite end. He also promised to help the liberated populations of the world decide their own destiny and find their own way once the war was over while also promising to bring prosperity to the American people itself as well as new social, judicial, economical and political reforms to build the country so that it could be a better place to live for every American and permanent resident.

But first, President Biden had to vanquish China, to cut it from financing drug traffickers who were selling their deadly products in the American streets. And the only way for that was for the US Military to methodically destroy every Chinese laboratory they came across. As part of these efforts, airstrikes and missile attacks were increased in number while special operations raids were launched more and more frequently againtst those laboratories to destroy their content.

Although these raids did bring success, they came at the cost of several dead American special operations members as well as many American drones being shot down by Chinese air defense systems.

However, due to the presence of US forces everywhere in the world now, the American Government could now deploy troops anywhere to quell any terrorist group, thus sending a clear message for the world that America was back.

And this also meant that the American forces and their Allies also had a powerful industry to back them, since the US industry spent two years prior to World War III improving its production rate as well as reducing its dependency on foreign export for arms manufacturing, meaning the American military industrial complex could now manufacture critical components and parts for weapons and vehicles, including planes and helicopters, in addition to producing billions of rounds of ammunition.

And millions of American troops, including Norrie Vastano, Maddie Calvert, Dale Uris, Mel, Deere, Anna Hunter, BBC, Marker, Carly Wells, Watt, Random, Itchy, Amy Pollard, Buster, Lucky, Zombie, KJ, Lighter, Metal, Mac, Danni, Evie Dunning, Flint Murdoch and Courtney Williams, were now supplied by those factories as were their allies, in addition to German, French, Polish, Australian and Canadian factories producing more weapons and heavy weaponry than in peacetime. This was a feat never seen since World War II.
