The video narrated hypothetical "future" events occurring from 2000-2004, i.e., after publication of the game and before the start of the campaigns and scenarios. According to this video, both the USA and Russia reduce their military spendings. Russia is in turmoil from food shortages and other internal conflicts. China grows stronger militarily. After invading Taiwan it initiates a plan to dominate all of Asia from Sakhalin Islands and [[Vladivostok]] in the east to Volgograd and [[Kazakhstan]] in the west; from Siberia in the north to Southeast Asia and [[Singapore]] in the south. China justifies this as "reclaiming traditional Chinese territories". The USA sends its [[United States Seventh Fleet|7th Fleet]] to the Taiwan Straits to force China to withdraw. Chinese air attacks sink 7th Fleet's flagship [[USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)]], claiming it was in Chinese waters. United States denounces this as an unprovoked attack and declares war on China. The US is joined by the [[United Nations]] and most of its members. Many campaigns and scenarios created by gamers diverge from this background story.
