Dragon's Fury - World War against America and the West

Suggested by lordroel last year to me, I only began reading this yesterday. I'm still at page 186. It's a long read of over 700 pages! Better, it can be downloaded for free by the author.

Anyways, cutting to the chase.

There are multiple POD's to this novel:
- 1st is a minor POD is in 1970 wherein a Vietnamese lieutenant designs a great innovation for the Vietnam People's Navy on how to counter American warships using silent torpedoes. The Vietnamese lieutenant has a grudge on the United States as his family was killed in a Special Forces raid. Due to the expensive and difficult task, the project is discarded. However, a janitor picks up the plans and passes it on the People's Republic in China.
- By 1996, the Vietnamese lieutenant has been living in China for the past twenty years. He is then commissioned by the People's Liberation Army Navy to create new designs for warships that could counter America. Some of these designed are torpedoes that are too fast to be countered and detected dubbed by the Pentagon as Long Range Anti-Ship Devices (LRSAD).
- Bill Clinton apparently turned over a U.S. military base in Tarawa (Kiribati) to the PRC.
- For some odd reason, India and China form an economic union called the Coalition of Asian States (CAS). It would soon absorb Mongolia, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and North Korea to its sphere.
- George W. Bush does not seek reelection in 2004. He is succeeded by a figure akin to Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.
- The Great Islamic Republic is formed in 2005 with the merger of Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan. Later it would expand to get Iraq, Kurdistan, and Pakistan. As an offshoot to the GIR in the continent of Africa, Libya and Chad soon join in.
- In November 2005, the U.S. and allies fail to defend Kurdistan from the GIR forces. Dubbed as the "Kurdistan Phony War".
- The Great Islamic Republic allies itself with the Coalition of Asian States while benifiting from natural resources provided by the Russian Federations.
- War between the United States and allies vs. the Great Islamic Republic erupts in February 2006 as the GIR plans to engulf Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt into its growing empire.
- The Sino-American War erupts in March 2006 after the reignition of the Korean War, a Chinese naval attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet which sinks two carriers (the USS John C. Stennis and the USS Constellation, two SSNs (USS Jefferson City, USS Salt Lake City), and multiple surface vessels including the USS Peleliu, the USS Lake Chaplain, the USS Jarret, and the USS Thach), the near-destruction of the British fleet (sunk is the HMS Ocean, HMS Albion, one Type 23 frigate, and two Type 42 destroyers. The HMS Illustrious is damaged but limps away to safety along with a Type 42 destroyer and two Type 22 frigates. They are promptly ordered back to Britain) and a Chinese attack on the U.S. mainland using cargo ships converted into tactical attack ships that were no less designed by the same Vietnamese lieutenant who is angry at the United States for the suffering it caused to his family during the Vietnam War.

To be continued as I read the story.
