Re: Great China VS U.S war book

Cheers for the tip Ute. I only wish I had time to sit down and read anything these days.

PS sorry about the slow comeback on your Blog - the bits I read came across very well, you definitly go for the drip drip approach of incident + incident untill it adds up to a full war, rather than a formal declaration. It seems more likely and realistic, its starts as a bad day and ends up a month later as all out.

Anyway I must continue work on my latest Block buster - its a political thriller call Gay Baegin. The story of unrequited Homosexual love by an Isreali president for his nemeisis palestinian opponent, its very moving (especially the graphic fantasies - all taking place on a Saturday:eek: :p)

It will be ideal reading for a Sunday morning - enjoy with a Bacon Sarny;)

Re: Great China VS U.S war book

I don't think that there will be a war between China and U.S. in the near future. However, China needs a military victory somewhere because in the international community a country doesn't have real respect until they have shown some military success. Thats just the way the world works. No doubt that China has respect now but its not a well rounded respect that a military victory would give. So what China needs is a regional war somewhere with a quick victory that is impressive to the world community. Then nations would sit up and listen when China talks. At the same time a big war with the U.S. would be too disruptive to their fast growing economy which is dependent on exports to U.S. I wait until the olympics are over for there to be anything happening because China wants to impress the world at the Olympics and doesn't want any disruptions until after that event is over.

Well, above all else...this story is fiction...and as written in the latest release, takes place well after the Olympics. The story happens in conjunction with a lot of other geo-poloitcal circumstances that develop that make it opportune (at least from their own perspective), both economically, politically, and militarily for the actions and risks taken in the novel by the PRC.

Anyhow...that's all. it's meant to be an exciting read about technology and warfare, particularly modern naval warfare, and hopefully, in some small way, to dissuade anything like it ever occurring in reality. If you get a chance, download the free adobe ebook version of the novel at the link posted earlier in the thread, and take a read.

Do you really need to ask?

not only does the US win, it conquers space in the epilogue.

Come on...leave a little for readers to find out. :)

Besides...the Epilogue is meant to indicate an expansion into space by mankind...not America "conquering" it.

Like I said...it's just a fiction story, and like all real warfare...it all comes at horrendous cost.

At any rate, this is not a Clancy, or any other..."America wins hands down and is unassailable", kind of novel in the least.

I don't know, it seems a little unrealistic, and I'm trying to put that lightly. I kind of skimmed through it, but it seems like you give Russia a rather fleeting role and lend more importance to India.

I think that's a mistake. The current international situation with Russia seems to hold far more potential for world conflict than any dispute China, India, or Iran has. Any such situation with China, India, or Iran would likely disrupt the alliance you depict not create it.

It seems to be this big error with any "World War" scenario and it is just that the assumption is made that it is going to happen because of some highly publicized events. Most of the time it's actually a very small-scale event, seemingly unnoteworthy that ends up steamrolling into a major conflict. World War I came like a shot in the dark, it wasn't a fireworks display.

I guess it's just not the kind of World War story I'd write. However, I'd very interested in something that gives a depiction of collapse in North Korea's government. That is currently the most dangerous possible situation in the world.

In reality, I totally think that America will not go to war with China and North Korea, and Iran. All three wars would totally result the US to issue a military draft. Bad news for USA, especially when taking on China, resulting in numerous casulties. This leaves the door open for al Qaeda to strike in US, and probably Russia.

If this were to happen, China would be under heavy military strikes, because the American dominace of Asia has been almost surrounding China. Just take a look that are now American puppets: India, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the Pacific Islands. Total bombarages in the Eastern part of China, and where the majority of the population of China and military forces are stationed.

While this is all happening, the war with NK would result in a nuclear strike by NK. This will result in every country with nuclear arms to turn to nuclear weapons, especially Iran and Russia. More bad news for USA. As more and more nukes result, the end of the world is increasing.

If 200 nukes were to bomb the world under a 5 year period, Earth would be totally back into when the metour hit earth in the Periodic Era and will wipe us out.

But you have to remember that this is just a fictional book
