Soldier's

The year was 2035, and the world stood on the precipice of an unthinkable future. The economic war between China and the United States had been brewing for years, a silent battle fought in the shadows of tariffs, sanctions, and trade restrictions. But what had once been a subtle exchange of blows was now spiraling into something much darker.

For China, the stakes had never been higher. Under the relentless pressure of the United States' trade policies, the world's second-largest economy found itself on the verge of collapse. In just under a decade, China had lost 75% of its economic advantage, its once-thriving markets crumbling under the weight of retaliatory tariffs and embargoes. The global oil trade, once a powerful tool of leverage, had been crippled by the U.S. cutting off vital supply lines, forcing Beijing to scramble for alternatives that never seemed to materialize.

In the heart of Beijing, President Li Xiu sat behind his desk, his fingers tapping anxiously against the polished wood. The weight of a nation's future rested on his shoulders. As the walls of the Communist Party's grand hall pressed inward, the time for negotiation had passed. The time for diplomacy had evaporated like mist in the morning sun. There was only one choice left.

Li Xiu's decision to declare war on the United States would go down in history as the moment when trade turned to blood. It was no longer a question of economy-it was a matter of survival. The loss of economic dominance could not be borne. A fractured China, weak and isolated, could never thrive in a world where the United States controlled the pulse of global commerce. If they could not dominate the market, then they would dominate by force.
