Fearful of yet another American puppet government in the Caribbean, Colombian, Cuban and Guatemalan troops and metas reinforce Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s government.
A freight train near Neyshabur, Iran catches fire and explodes killing more than 300 people, mostly rescue workers. The Blue Demon arrives and adds to the carnage.
A series of suicide bombers detonate their explosives across Madrid’s rail network simultaneously. Several commuter trains are shattered and three stations collapse due to the damage. Thousands are killed in the blasts. The Blue Demon appears and greatly hinders IST Madrid’s rescue attempts before it is driven off.
Roh Moo-hyun, President of South Korea, officially surrenders to China.
The masterminds behind the suicide bombings in Madrid are tracked down by IST Madrid. They manage to kill two members of IST Madrid in their own suicide bombing, which levels a city block and kills nearly three hundred people. The Blue Demon appears, killing another member of IST Madrid before being driven off again.
Dr. Jillian Michaels steps into a U.N. COPPF meeting. Thought dead for five years, she claims she has information about the Chinese plans, but desperately needs help rescuing her children. Amidst committee protests, IST New York’s Alpha Team accompanies Dr. Michaels through the door and vanishes along with her. They return days later where Dr. Michaels provides documents and proof of the Chinese delegation in North Korea caused the explosion, beginning the war.

A massive tornado strikes the town of Hallam, Nebraska, wiping it out. The record-setting tornado is dispersed by IWO revealing another Chinese weather-altering shuttle. US combat aircraft destroy the vehicle before it reaches orbit.
Hurricane Charley approaches Florida. IWO teams come under fire as Chinese forces drive the hurricane forward. The Chinese weather shuttles are destroyed by orbital fire from a Kronin Battleship psi-jumped into Earth Orbit. Kronin units reinforce U.N. fronts across the war, turning several battles and routing Chinese forces in a number of theatres.
A massive earthquake rocks Niigata Prefecture in Japan. Within minutes, another earthquake follows. Over the next two days more than two dozen earthquakes shake the island. ISTs Osaka and Tokyo uncover a Chinese earthquake machine. With the help of Kronin soldiers and orbital fire, the machine is destroyed.
Kronin sensors detect another Chinese earthquake machine off the west coast of Sumatra. As forces are deployed to destroy it, it triggers a catastrophic earthquake at the Indian and Burma Plates. Earthquakes across the globe trigger. More than a quarter-million people are killed across fourteen countries. The entire world rallies behind the U.N. Kronin shock troops begin assaulting mainland China.
