General Jingwei

General Jingwei is a Chinese general in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the year 2277.

Background
A cruel and effective taskmaster and a ruthlessly efficient tactician, General Jingwei leads the Communist forces in their sweep across Alaska, until stopped by U.S. forces near the city of Anchorage. Carrying a potent shocksword, Jingwei is a formidable foe who is prone to bouts of savagery and who demands unquestioning loyalty from his soldiers. He is a real menace but always fights with a sense of honor, however twisted his reasoning becomes.

Quests

 * Operation: Anchorage!: When the Lone Wanderer first sees him, he is calmly executing an American captive with his shocksword in the midst of the battle between American T-51b units and Chinese soldiers, after which the Wanderer may deal with him either through a Speech check or through combat.

Effects of player's actions

 * He can be convinced to kill himself with his own sword to avoid capture via Speech, or can be killed in combat during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. His shocksword can be obtained in the armory after the simulation is completed, suggesting that Jingwei was indeed killed or captured in combat. A successful Speech check can convince him to commit suicide as his simulated depiction claimed to prefer death over capture. A Charisma of 4 and Speech of 90 will allow a 100% chance of success.

Appearances
Jingwei appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Bugs

 * Prior to starting the last level, you will see him kill the American soldier, the T-51b soldiers and Chinese will fight around you and Jingwei, but you and he will be stuck, with him staring at you while T-51b soldiers and Chinese soldiers keep spawning. This seems to always happen on the PC upon dying or starting the autosave of entering the battlefield any other way. To fix this, you have to load a previous save, go to the main menu, or restart the game. On the PC it is possible to fix this through killing Jingwei using the console.
 * After the successful Speech check, Jingwei won't stab himself. Instead, he will stand there for a few seconds, then drop dead.
 * When fighting Jingwei, the power armor troops that spawn after the battle against Jingwei has started may turn hostile against the player, regardless of friendly fire.

Behind the scenes

 * Jingwei was possibly named after Wang Zhaoming (better known by his pen name Jingwei (精衛), which, in turn, was derived from a Chinese mythological bird), a Chinese politician, who, ironically, was first a member of the left-wing Kuomintang, then later became a right-wing anticommunist and betrayed both Chinese parties by corroborating with Imperial Japan, which may be referenced in General Jingwei's possible suicide, that resembles hara kiri, a Japanese form of suicide.
 * Jingwei, written as 警衛, means "to stand guard" or simply "(security) guard", referencing Jingwei's role as camp defender.
