A "Kasō-kei senki" story. However, battle scenes are casual and loose. I think it will be an HOI-style comedy piece that prioritizes strategy and political turns. If you're okay with that please do! The content is almost entirely based on the title...

The war between the United States and China has been ongoing for two weeks.
The outbreak of hostilities, triggered by an accidental incident, occurred much earlier than initially planned by the US. The commencement of hostilities under conditions of insufficient stockpiles of various supplies and incomplete troop formations was highly undesirable for them. The East Eurasian Army Group, which oversees this war, and its central command, the East Eurasian Army Group Staff, were frustrated by the situation where none of their pre-war plans had been accomplished. They, and the United States, had forgotten one thing: there is an opponent in war.
In contrast, China, with surprise, accepted the results of its defensive offensive scorched earth tactics. They had thought that it would be at most a nuisance *1 to the mighty United States, but a tremendous delaying effect occurred. It was natural for China to be surprised. However, China not only expressed surprise but immediately took action—embarking on the expansion of military achievements based on the pre-war strategic plan.

United States: Battle Beyond the Borders (D-Day+14 – 21)
The United States flexibly acknowledged the deviation between the initially planned war strategy and the actual course of the war. This was partly a result of the active reporting by media that had entered various locations in South Mongolia, highlighting the local damages. *2 Although China's actions aimed at fostering war-weariness on the American mainland, the United States, supported by the USFJ with a century of expertise in propaganda warfare, did not show such vulnerabilities.
Immediately, articles and photos from embedded war correspondents with the frontline units were dispatched via special liaison planes *3 and delivered to respective newspapers. It was a crisis management action resembling a textbook example of early detection and response. Under the leadership (control) of the US government, each newspaper extensively denounced China's machinations on its pages, categorizing China's reports as propaganda efforts. As a result, public opinion solidified.
The war between the United States and China, which had been largely indifferent to the majority of Americans, turned into a punitive war against China, which had attempted to deceive the United States through despicable information manipulation. In the first place, it could be said that China underestimated the anti-China sentiment spreading on the American mainland, leading to this situation. With the backing of public opinion, the US government, in a presidential address, firmly declared the intention to crush the outdated and vicious China and bring freedom, equality, and democracy to the land of South Mongolia. A significant reinforcement for the US military stationed in China was also announced. Furthermore, the contents included the dismissal of the commander and chief of staff of the East Eurasian Army Group, who had led the war plan against China.

East Eurasian Army Group Restructuring (D-Day+20~)
Unlike the dismissed commander and chief of staff, those responsible for the current state of affairs, the staff headquarters, which served as both the limbs and brains, remained intact and was not disbanded. The decision not to overhaul the staff was based on the judgment that refreshing the staff could cause confusion in the field (frontline units). Under the new commander who came from the Philippines, the East Eurasian Army Group embarked on a comprehensive reorganization with the aim of winning the war.
