General Jingwei

General  is a Chinese Army General in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the year 2277, and is the simulation's final boss.

Background
General was a Chinese Army General who commanded the Chinese troops during the Invasion of Alaska. He likely died during the Anchorage Reclamation since his Shock Sword was acquired by the US Army. He was a cruel, effective leader and a ruthlessly effective tactician, responsible for the succesful Communist invasion of Alaska, up until they were stalled at Anchorage. In combat, he is a formidable foe, prone to bouts of savagery and demands full, unquestioning loyalty from his soldiers. Interestingly, he always fights with a sense of honour, though obviously twisted by his personality.

Effects of player actions
When players first see him he is calmly executing an American Captive with his shock sword in the midst of the battle between American T-51b units and Chinese soldiers, after which players may deal with him either through a Speech check or through combat.

Behind the scenes

 * Jingwei's name may be a reference to a divine bird in Chinese mythology. Jingwei in mythology was a young girl who died an early death by drowning in the sea. She reincarnates as a bird; her eternal goal to fill up the sea with rocks and twigs to prevent others dying in the sea. Jingwei is a symbol of determination in the face of the impossible, fitting when considering Gen. Jingwei's struggle on the Alaskan Front.


 * Jingwei's name may also be a reference to Wang Jingwei, a politician in the Chinese Kuomintang during the second world war. The irony however is that Wang Jingwei is considered both a traitor by China for collaborating with Japan in the war and also because he was staunchly anti-communist.
