Three days earlier.
The Republic of China was bustling with people, and amidst the city's noise, a covert Black Site belonging to the Foreign Intelligence Services of the Ruthenia Empire was hidden. The site, established long before the Nationalist Party's rule, was now a thriving hub of intelligence gathering. The site was home to Ruthenian Special Forces and expertly trained spies, all keeping a close watch on the Republic of China's government and the rebel group of Communist Forces scattered throughout the country.
For the past six years, the Foreign Intelligence Services had been struggling to make any progress in their mission to identify who was supplying Ruthenian weapons to the Communist Forces. The rebels were elusive and masters of concealment, making it almost impossible to pinpoint the source of their weapons.
