A small volunteer regiment of 1600~ is gathered to fight for the CPC. The government is disappointed of the lack of volunteers and propaganda is issued supporting the communist and socialist ideals. The Popular Front Party hopes this ushers a wave of volunteers.
Unfortunately, the force has no way of getting into China safely. Military access requests are sent to the United States for docking at the Philippines, France for docking at Indochina, Japan for docking at Korea and Manchuria, and the Soviet Union for docking at Eastern Russia.
