The year is 2010, ten years into the Chinese millennium. It has been ordained by
Chinese intellectuals that this to be the century of the yellow man, and an enlightened Chinese cadre is
prepared to establish a new world order, A New Dynasty.
The Chinese remember all to well the humiliation of the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion. When at the turn of
the 20th century China was carved up by the United States, Britain, France, Japan and other nations desiring a
piece of the crumbling empire.
The new Chinese strategic plan calls for the restoration of Taiwan to China by intimidation and then a
plebiscite by the people. The countries of Southeast Asia will be forced to pledge allegiance to China and to
become vassal states of a new, Asian Alliance for Asian’s. Finally, they will rally the traditional enemies of
the West—Russia, Asia, Africa and the Mideast to form a united economic and military front to punish the West,
particularly the Americans. All this activity will be carried out in a politically correct fashion on the world
stage; the UN will be the handmaiden and spokesman of this new order.
Mike Sherman, deputy National Security Advisor, and his wife Cdr. Carole Sherman USN, fighter pilot, will become
major players in the unfolding events. Their positions in the government and their closeness to the new
President turn their lives upside down in the ensuing years.
The West meets and then sends notes of grave concern to the Chinese. The UN General Assembly debates at length
but accomplishes nothing, and China vetoes all attempts by the Security Council to take action.
The natural resources of China enhanced by its vassal states and unlimited manpower for cheap manufacturing and
a massive military achieve a new world super power status. They further achieve economic parity with the West
through stolen computer and weapons development secrets. China is now a superpower whose wealth and military not
only rivals the U.S. and exceeds the combined West in many areas.
The final straw to the Americans is the uncovering of a plan to assist a small group in Hawaii and Guam plotting
to forcefully gain independence from the U.S. China wants Pacific island outposts to ensure their empire from an
America thousands of miles away.
The only shortfall in China’s long-term plan is the need for a powerful blue water Navy. Aircraft carriers and a
new generation of strike fighters are being built for the Chinese Fleet. Their strategic maritime plan is to
reach their goal within five years.
The world is teetering on another world conflict when a destructive plague sweeps the Asian world. The bird flu
in 2005 was a pre-cursor to this epidemic that could become a pandemic. The only shortfall in China’s growth has
been the lack of a first class health system.
The conclusion is a world in terrible disorder, the tempo of the action increases as the world once again finds
itself facing possible Armageddon. World War I, World War II, the cold war and now another totalitarian super
power on the world scene demanding it’s place in the sun. Where will it end?
