[b]January-February, 1950[/b]
With the [i]Chinese Civil War[/i] coming to an end, only months prior, the Soviet Union's political perspective did little to soften. The political separation within the Korean peninsula was seen by the Soviet military structure as a potential proving ground and a viable experimentation of the military-political machine of a communist regime. Kim Il-sung offered the insightful initiative that he wished to see a unified Korea, a communist Korea. The Soviets, who had entered the Korean peninsua with the 25th Army in 1945 had never formerly retired until 1947, helping the war torn North rebuild from the wanton destruction of the Japanese.

Premier Stalin signed the appropriation of 250 T-34/85 tanks, an upgunned version of the T-34 that spearheaded the Western offensives against the Wehrmacht in the Great Patriotic War. He arranged the shipment of three squadrons of Mig-15 [i]Fagot[/i]'s, the premier fighter jet of the Soviet Union and 800 officers to train and properly familiarize the North Korean pilots with the aircraft.

These weapons of war would modernize a People's Korean Army that's equipment did not equal it's fighting spirit. The Soviet High Command would watch the development of the North Korean army as it trained and prepared to invade the south, but after dispatching considerable military resources to ensure a communist victory, the Soviet eye would turn Westward, toward Czechoslovakia and Poland. While their political spheres lay solely under the guise of the Reds, the Soviet's deemed measures taken to ensure the stability of it's political allies with the following order.

[b]Order 1771[/b]
On orders of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Main Intelligence Directorate ([b]GRU[/b]) will dispatch four agents into Communist Czechoslovakia and three agents into Communist Poland, at mid to high tiers of national government chains to forecast possible changes in the political climate to ensure the stability of Soviet influence within these areas.

The Soviet's were aware of American activity in the South China Sea and the Japanese islands, but paid little attention to it -- as it's own Pacific Fleet lay largely at rest. A huge continent of soldiers and tanks still in Eastern Germany outweighed American resources there and remained unwavering as East Germany and East Berlin remained in the cold grip of Soviet statism.
